We are absolutely sure that you know how a real Parisian woman looks like. Ok, maybe it's only what we know about from movies and photographs, but, whatever. This is a cliché, but we adore this style and it's still working these days even if some modern snobby girls consider this as a ridiculous and old-fashioned way to look spicy.
French bob haircut with a super short bangs refers to the 30s and Louise Brooke iconic haircut, which matches the cloche hat by strong clean lines. French short bob looks better on dark hair, it emphasizes the eye makeup, but there is a small issue. You may have problems with styling this basic haircut. But only in case of canonical style, that should be sleek and elegant. At the same time, we are living the days of casual and relaxed hairstyles that are perfectly suit for everyday looks.
Here are pictures of French bob hairstyles for your inspiration!

Compelling stories make memorable speeches
Speechwriting experts say facts, characters are OK, but the most engaging presentations feature conflict, drama, humor.
Editor's note: This story is taken from Ragan's new distance-learning portal, RaganTraining.com. The site contains more than 200 hours of case studies, video presentations, and interactive courses. Learn more about this session.
A speechwriter's goal is to provide a memorable script that creates a connection between the speaker and the audience that resonates long after the speech is over.
The best way to do that? Tell a story.
"Stories are what we pay attention to," said Vinca LaFleur, a partner at West Wing Writers, a speechwriting and communications strategy firm in Washington, D.C. "Stories are what we remember, so much so that sometimes we want to, and are able to, retell them long after the fact, which is wonderful if you are a communicator and you are trying to spread your message far and wide."
It is the use of a story, not an abundance of facts or the quality of the delivery, that makes a lasting impression, LaFleur said in this Ragan Training session, The power of storytelling: What you can learn from executive speechwriters. She was joined by Rod Thorn, senior director of communications at PepsiCo, and Michael Long, director of writing for the master's program in public relations and corporate communications at Georgetown University.
She cited one Stanford professor's classroom studies as proof. Students presented one-minute speeches arguing different interpretations of the nation's crime statistics. Then the class watched a short, unrelated video. After the viewing the video, the students were asked to write down everything they remembered about the speeches they had heard just minutes earlier.
Stories make an impression
According to the professor, the speakers averaged about 2.5 statistics per speech, but only one in 10 students told a story. But the pattern of what they remembered was quite the opposite: 63 percent remembered the stories, yet only 5 percent recalled any single statistic, LaFleur said.
"When this story you choose for your writing is a human story, one that connects people's hearts and minds, then you can not only make them think, but you can make them care, and once people care, then it is easier to inspire them to act," she said.
Stories work so well because they feature basic characteristics of memorable communication: concrete and specific detail, feelings and facts, and the unexpected, LaFleur said.
"We remember our feelings longer than we remember details," Georgetown's Long said. "When speeches connect with people where they live, it allows them to engage without thinking. Instead, they can feel, and that happens autonomically."
Situations are not stories
Long said that when he teaches, he stresses the difference between a story and a situation.
"A story is set apart from a situation by the presence of obstacles," he said. "A story is when there is tension and there is release. You've got to have something to overcome." A situation is merely a setting, a place for a story to unfold.
He further defines a story as "one or more conflicts presented in a way that evokes emotion," as the recent series of comic "Hangover" movies displayed. He said his definition describes every major motion picture of the last 20 years.
Both LaFluer and Long said notable characters are often important to good stories. She said the collaboration of Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard to create HP's first product in a Palo Alto, Calif., garage is a great origin story, as is the tale of Estee Lauder, who launched her cosmetics empire by offering free makeovers to every woman she met.
Strong stories bring box office success
Though characters are important, they aren't everything to a good story, Long said. Of the 10 top-grossing movies of all time, five had unknown actors in leading roles. Those movies ("E.T." and "Titanic" are two examples) were not driven by celebrity actors of the day, but by the compelling stories, he said.
Thorn, of PepsiCo, said he looks at life as "one big adventure filled with a series of adventures."
"Every single thing in that life, every single day, is important, not just for you but also for the people you are writing for," he said. "You can really find stories in the most unimaginable places."
He said asking questions of CEOs in unguarded moments is the time "when the magic really happens." Getting them to open up about who they are, how they achieved success and what are their intentions "are just golden for what you want to hear."
Thinking like a playwright
Thorn, who also has had success as a playwright, said it is not golden when CEOs say, "'Here's our story: We're a $66 billion or $22 billion brand and blah, blah, blah.' That's not a story. Those are factoids being thrown out there.
"My play writing mentor taught me early on, the people in the audience in the theater have given up whatever it is they were doing to sit there and listen to you for a while, to watch your characters, watch your drama, your comedy, [or] your tragedy take place," he said. "It is up to you to bring them along with you. You're really doing them a disservice if you just spit out facts."
The audience will feel something from a successful speech, and the powerful story behind it can motivate them to do what should be done, he said.
Steps along the storytelling journey
Thorn said his story journeys follow this path: The setup, the problem, the hard time, the resolution, and the wrap-up.
Said another way, the journey is: Once upon a time, suddenly, fortunately, and they live happily ever after (or, unfortunately, and they were screwed), he said.
The emphasis on storytelling Thorn brought to IBM was displayed on the cover the company's 2000 annual report. In a simple text-only presentation, it said in part: "You're one page away from the no-holds-barred story of one year in the life of a company. It's the story of big battles, stinging defeats & gritty comebacks, unexpected alliances, faring forays & game-changing discoveries."
"Try putting that on the cover of your annual report," he said.
Thorn described his humble beginnings and said, "I've had the most ridiculous life to prepare me to do what I'm doing now." He then encouraged attendees to "embrace who you are, embrace your own story, and help the people that you write for embrace theirs."

This is a little tool I made which saves you getting up all the time to iron pierced blocks together. Which means that you can pierce blocks together more quickly.
I know that some quilters have an iron right next to their sewing machine but my ironing board is on the other side of my sewing room, which means that I would pierce several pieces, then get up and iron them, them pierce some more etc. With this little tool I remove that extra step which makes building quilting blocks a whole lot quicker. Might not make me as fit perhaps, but that's another story.
In the video I mention that I use doweling which you can buy from a hardware store, the minimum length of doweling that you can buy will make several of these tools, so you can make some for your quilting friends as well. The circumference of the doweling doesn't matter, that's a personal choice. You might find that you have some spare pieces floating around, I use doweling to hang quilts and I always seem to have a piece left over.

BANGLADESH – The Bangladeshi government intends to launch programs to promote the use of jute-based packaging, as well as halt the usage of plastic packaging "in a month or two".
This move comes years after the government enacted the Mandatory Jute Packaging Act in 2010, and formulated the articles of the law in 2013 – the law stipulates that all traders as well as government organisations must use jute bags to pack paddy, rice, pulses, wheat, fertiliser and sugar.
In addition, manufacturers must use packaging materials consisting of at least 75% jute fibre.
However, even after the law was passed, and penalties set - first-time rule violators are supposed to face a Tk 50,000 fine or a year or incarceration, while second-time offenders are to face both – implementation has been slack, if not non-existent.
Both state-owned and private jute mill owners have questioned the government's sincerity in implementing the jute packaging law.

PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) — The Steelers have fired special teams coach Al Everest and promoted assistant Amos Jones to his job, effective immediately.
"We are continually evaluating our coaching staff and support staff, and we have decided to go in a different direction with respect to the coaching of our special teams," said head coach Mike Tomlin, who, after Sunday's preseason win over the visiting Colts, called the performance of his team's return game "below the line."
"I want to thank Al for his contributions and efforts, and I wish him well in the future."
Everest joined the team in 2010 as the special teams coordinator. In 2011 the Steelers ranked in the bottom half of the NFL across the board in return yardage. However, it is uncommon for the Steelers to shake up their coaching staff during the preseason.
Furthermore, in 2009, the Steelers tied an NFL record with four kick return touchdowns allowed, and had not allowed any since.

I found this recipe for heart tarts on the Family Fun website. I'm no Betty Crocker, and I'm not foolish enough to think they're pretty...my icing was a little runny, the filling seeped out of the edges, and there's a hodgepodge of sprinkles for the kids...but I'm just glad they turned out at all. If you know my history in the kitchen, I'm sure you are too! I just wanted to make a little treat for the kids since they've been under the weather lately.
Now go read some nursery rhymes to your little ones!
Update: The kids were super excited to have a special treat. Both boys liked hearing Queen of Hearts (listed as The Tarts in our book) but Emory also enjoyed Peter Piper when I read it too! He giggled hysterically!

The above card was for my niece's best friend, my brief was - must be OTT, lots of girly, sparkly, glitzy things, likes trendy bags!
I've used a packet of 3D stickers I got from Penkridge Market (Staffordshire). I had the last few packs, but I wish I could find some more as they have been brilliant for similar cards. I have also added a few stars and extra gems to the bags.
The second card was for a colleague at work. Her daughter had just started modelling and she asked if that could be included in the theme.
I asked for a photo that I could include and built around it. I made an extra copy of the photo, cut it out and used it as a very simple decoupage layer.
The camera is a sizzix die cut I got from e-bay,and the background paper is from "Love Elsie" which I love and again wish I could find some more of.

13-15 December 2013, Thessaloniki – Policy makers, history teachers, social scientists, journalists and many more from Southeast Europe and beyond are gathering in Thessaloniki, Greece, this weekend for a regional conference on the power of history education in promoting reconciliation and resolving unfinished disputes in the region.
The conference, entitled "His Story or History: Europe in the Trap of Populism", has been organised by the Center for Democracy and Reconciliation in Southeast Europe. More than 50 influential and concerned educators and policy makers, among others, will come together to take an honest look at the state of history education in Europe, especially Southeast Europe, its impact, and how it can be improved to promote reconciliation and integration.
Are myths more popular than facts, despite unprecedented levels of access to information? Is social science, and especially history education, being underrepresented in academic curricula? How can education policies convey more evaluation and critical-thinking skills? Can Europe seek financial integration while education remains a national holy grail? These are just some of the questions that the participants will take on.
Participants will be welcomed on the evening of Friday, December 13, at the Mediterranean Palace in Thessaloniki, our venue for the weekend. Keynote speeches, moderated by Nikos Efthymiadis, Chairman of the REDESTOS Efthymiadis Agrotechnology Group and Vice Chairman, CDRSEE Board of Directors will kick off first thing Saturday morning. The keynote speakers are Dr. Erhard Busek, Former Vice Chancellor of Austria and the Chairman of the CDRSEE Board of Directors, and Dr. Dusan Reljic, of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs and the CDRSEE Board of Directors.
Saturday includes two panel discussions. The first will be moderated by the award-winning author and journalist Tim Judah of The Economist, addressing "History as a Battlefied". The second, moderated by Costa Carras, Vice President of Europa Nostra, a member of the CDRSEE Board of Directors and our Joint History Project Supervisor, will look for answers as to how education can stimulate critical-thinking skills and make society less vulnerable to populism.
Sunday, December 15, will be dedicated to working groups, which will then pull together conclusions under the guidance of moderator Aleksandra Joksimovic, Executive Director of PFZ - Zepter Holding, and a member of the CDRSEE Board of Directors. On Monday, the CDRSEE Board of Directors will meet to assess the outcomes of the conference, which will play a role in determining the future goals and focus of the organisation.

ACTIONCONSTRAINT II, by Andrea Cusumano & Thibault Delferiere, was performed on Saturday 28th July at the Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa in Palermo. Andrea himself somehow managed to organise the whole festival as well as making this piece with Thibault (not to mention his somewhat less challenging whistling role in my piece). The performance involved action painting, and is a progression from previous work that Thibault and Andrea have been doing together - there was a version of it performed outside the Library at Goldsmiths in London before - though this was a very different piece in many ways.
The space was laid out with a large canvas in the centre, lit from the four corners, and surrounded by three musicians. There were two smaller canvases to each side of the room. The two performers/painters worked with a dynamic of contest/opposing physical force that was productive of a common creation. This is especially fascinating to watch because Thibault's control over his movements is changed noticeably by having a physical force to work against, and his body seems constantly transformed by the interactions. The action of the piece and the interaction between the two performers slowly builds up an imprint of their actions on the central canvas.
In the end, both work together to cut out and hoist the canvas up to be seen vertically and leave the space.

Jonny White proposes that two of the most powerful forces shaping our lives are (1) the way we tell our own story and (2) the stories we experience through media (including the Web, TV, ads, books, film, and mobile devices). As a media psychologist and lecturer, he lives and teaches his philosophy about shaping and choosing our stories wisely, while writing and producing media designed to have positive psychological effects. At 30, he has created an award-winning web-documentary, earned two undergraduate and three graduate degrees, started and sold a web-based company, kitesurfed on three continents, and bicycled from the top to the bottom of Africa. Strictly due to his ongoing research on how our stories create our reality, Dr. White may tend to seem a little uncertain about whether he is awake, dreaming, or just making it all up.

I'm writing to let you know that I need to be elsewhere for a while. Not necessarily taking a break as much as being forced to cease production of content by an external force.
<<So I'm going to be losing a proper laptop for a while, and I don't have a real way to let Jester write these to the standard he demands from me.>>
As low as those standards are, I must say.
<<Shoosh. You know we don't have a lot of spare time and energy on our hands. Motivation is something we need to allocate for our own sake.>>
I understand that on a logical level. On a more real note, we should be producing more than we are and we should be making a backlog while we are holidaying. There are books we need to be critiquing and readers who need knowledge about what's hot and what's third-person science-fiction swill (whoo, callbacks!).
<<Do you want a pony and a helicopter with that?>>
Fine. I understand you are a human being with limitations. But you should pay me some more attention! I'm not here explicitly to bail you out whenever you have an English assignment due in less than 12 hours.
<<Something we can agree on. But that isn't the point. The point that my Learned Colleague is trying to make is that we'll be unable to post for a good while. As in, we don't know when we're coming back.>>
Or if.
<< Don't be like that. But we need to go. Semi-permanently.>>
Down, down into the darkness we go; blessed we shall be to return to the light.
<<So for the last time for a long time.>>
Goodbye Internet.
Yours: J.M. Pear

A large cloud of black smoke rose over the densely populated Bir al-Abed neighbourhood where the car bomb exploded in the parking plaza of a compound where Hizbollah runs an Islamic centre and a shopping centre.
There were conflicting accounts of the toll of the blast with one TV channel reporting several dead and at least five badly injured. Hizbollah sealed off the site of the explosion.
"The explosion in the Bir al-Abed area was caused by a car bomb in the parking lot next to an Islamic cooperation centre," Hizbollah's Al-Manar TV reported.

Hizbollah has been the focus of increasing sectarian resentment as it has become deeply involved in the Syrian civil war. It has sent fighters to join President Bashar al-Assad's forces in facing down the revolt, an issue that has deeply divided Lebanon and sparked frequent eruptions of violence.
British Ambassador Tom Fletcher tweeted:
It is understood that the attack was in response to Hizbollah's involvement in the war in neighbouring Syria, where its fighters are battling against Sunni Muslim rebels trying to topple President Bashar al-Assad.
With skirmishes between Shia and Sunni groups on the rise around the country, religiously mixed and highly fragile Lebanon is increasingly buffeted by powerful forces that are dividing the Arab world along sectarian lines. Some Syrian rebel groups, which are predominantly Sunni, have threatened to strike in Lebanon after Hezbollah joined Syrian President Bashar Assad's troops in their battle against opposition fighters.
Ambulances and fire engines, their sirens wailing, raced to the area and witnesses said casualties were rushed to the nearby Bahman and Rasoul al-Atham hospitals. People were seen running in the street away from the site of the explosion which set several cars on fire.
The power of the blast shattered windows and damaged several buildings in the busy residential and commercial area.
Al-Manar TV broadcast footage of a thick plume of smoke rising into the sky at the site of the blast as people rushed to take casualties to the hospital.

After a short break from reviews in December, I started 2018 with the best possible book Hay House could ever send me: The Year of Less , by Cait Falnders.
Usually the titles I choose from Hay House PR list are all about inspiration, positive guidance and lessons to follow for a better life. For all intents and purposes, this book is totally inspirational and with great tips for a better life, but it is also totally REAL! The most real and relatable book i have ever read from all Hay House 'titles (and i read amazing books)
In The Year of Less, Cait describes her personal challenges to save money and what it means to her, but without failing to use personal stories and anecdotes taking the reader to her past experiences with her, deep into her personal journeys with personal insecurities, families, friendships, romantic relationships and career! A lot of her experiences explain her behaviour, you start to feel like you are getting to know her through her stories, or that you can recognise yourself through them (at least that was for me on several pages)
I felt like I could visualize every single situation she was describing being in, as well as relating to her feelings. I have a lot in common with Cait when it comes to past self-destructive behaviour or the need for control and perfection, and although we had different experiences and circumstances surrounding these feelings and behaviours, I felt very close to her through the book.
In truth I am fairly certain we can all relate to what Cait experienced, because we all live in this reality. Aside from her personal stories, the topic of consumerism and our need as humans to feel like we need or deserve more to feel that we are "enough", is applicable to everyone.
Living in a major city like London, I never fail to find people on the high street walking with bags from all sorts of retailers, at any given time. I observed this being true in smaller towns too, through my travel. I always questioned the "need vs. want" ratio when seeing people shopping and, since reading this book, I keep on thinking that a year of less, is something everyone should be ready to do.
Cait is not unique in her discovery that what she used to think was necessary, was, in fact not, but she is the minority with her decision to consume less and more mindfully, in a society where the masses are taught to accumulate debt and purchase around the clock (if not in person, online, just one click away).
It is extremely easy to get a credit cards and spend money; it is not that easy to get out of debt and some people never do, destroying their entire lives because of this. It is something people truly need to learn about and sadly it is not art of any educational curriculum out there; but this book and Cait's website are great resources.
When I checked out Cait's website, i found a number of smart and very helpful blog posts, that, with personal experiences, shared insightful truths about how to think about the way we live and spend money.
The struggle is real people, she had to spend a few months challenging her conditioning beliefs to find the truth but eventually, though her year of less, the penny dropped (i guess, pun intended then) , making it clear that the things that matter don't come from a shop and that we can in fact do with less, being free of burdens like debt.
I can whole heartedly endorse and recommend this book and I would urge everyone to read it, not only as inspiration to make positive changes, but as a wonderful, well written and easy to follow read, you can enjoy whilst lying on your couch, on a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon.
Find out more about Cait Flanders through her website, and buy the book through Hay House now!

It sounds like a pretty safe assumption that the people who live in flood plains, or own businesses there, face the highest chances of flooding. This was certainly true during Superstorm Sandy in low-lying coastal areas at the mercy of storm surges. And the Federal Emergency Management Agency calculates flood risk this way all over the country, plotting properties against the geography of flood plains.
And yet here is a map of the Chicago metropolitan area, its flood plains shown by squiggly blue lines:
The zip codes shaded the darkest brown received the largest number of flood insurance claims between 2007 and 2011, from private insurance companies, the National Flood Insurance Program, or disaster relief assistance. Some of the zip codes with the most claims are in more densely populated parts of town. But they also sit nowhere near flood plains.
That map comes from a new report [PDF] by the Chicago-based Center for Neighborhood Technology that amassed an impressive database of 177,000 local flood insurance claims, worth a total of $660 million over the five-year span, covering 96 percent of the zip codes in Cook County (this represents a flood claim for one in every six properties in the county). The analysis found no correlation between damage payouts and floodplains, as this graph shows:
"It's completely counter-intuitive," says Harriet Festing, CNT's water program director. "If you were to ask the average person, even the average expert in flooding, they would say the bulk of flooding happens in the flood plains."
So what's going on here? Consider this second map, which shows the percentage of "impervious" surface area across the county, by zip code. The dark brown patches are the places with the highest share of roads, roofs, parking lots and general asphalt cover through which rain fall or flood water cannot penetrate:
Chicago – and plenty of other cities just like it – has artificially created flood-prone places simply by paving over the region's natural ability to manage excess water. And, as Festing points out, most people are entirely unaware that the city has done this. In urban areas anywhere, when we focus instead on the risks posed by flood plains, we may be ignoring the even greater threat created by how we've designed cities to crowd out their essential green space.
This also means we need to think about flooding at the scale of whole cities instead of at the level of individually problematic properties.
"Some solutions for the individual make it worse for everybody else," Festing says. "Every time one individual finds a solution for their property which means shoving the water somewhere else, that makes the problem harder collectively for everyone else."
She is talking, for instance, about sump pumps.
"A lot of the problem at the moment," she says, "is that people aren't realizing that this is a collective problem."

In an era of austere federal funding for urban public transportation, light rail seemed to make sense. Did the little trains of the 1980s pull their own weight?
If you see how cars, streetcars, bikes, and pedestrians use this Swiss street, you can better understand what's wrong with so many other urban thoroughfares.
Livability indexes can obscure the experiences of non-white people. CityLab analyzed the outcomes just for black women, for a different kind of ranking.

Children's and young adults' average caffeine consumption has increased by more than 70 per cent over the past 30 years, and an end to this rise is not in sight: the drinks industry is posting its fastest-growing sales in the segment of caffeine-laden energy drinks. Not everybody is pleased about this development. Some people are worried about possible health risks caused in young consumers by the pick-me-up.
Researchers from the University Children's Hospital Zurich are now adding new arguments to the debate. In their recently published study conducted on rats, the conclusions call for caution: in pubescent rodents, caffeine intake equating to three to four cups of coffee per day in humans results in reduced deep sleep and a delayed brain development.
The slower maturing process in the brain also had an impact on behaviour: rats normally become more curious with age, but the rats consuming caffeine remained timid and cautious.
Here is the peer-reviewed journal entry.
And if you ask yourselves "who lets their children drink the equivalent of 3-4 cups of coffee (in caffeine) per day?". Let me remind you that caffeine is in most of the soft drinks, Mountain Dew, Pepsi. All marketing to kids and parents.

For the last year or so i have been trying to get scummvm working on my girlfriends ipad with no luck. 1.5.0 from the repo installs but crashes after launching, when installing the 1.7.0 deb with ifile it installs and shows up in cydia as installed but no icon appears on the homescreen and no amount of rebooting makes it appear.
I have seen other people have had success installing it in a different way but i have no idea how to do it as i cant find a clear tutorial on how to do it. Please help me get this working.
I used to play on my iphone 4s with 1.5.0 and it worked perfectly but have now switched to android (thank god because installing is as easy as going to the google play store and installing)but my girlfriend is still on ios and would love to use this.
Thank you.

The Beast skriver brev til City-fansen
Alvaro Negredo har forlatt Manchester City, men reiser ikke uten å takke for all støtten han har fått fra City-fansen. I et åpent brev til fansen forteller han om oppholdet i City.
Dear Manchester City fans,
Today I say goodbye to a magnificent club as it is Manchester City. I want to thank the club for helping me become a better footballer and for making me and my family feel at home during my
time here.
About a year ago Manchester City, a club that will remain in my heart, gave me the amazing opportunity to play in England. And for me winning the Premier League, Capital One Cup and scoring 23 goals in a season is a dream come through.
After this year I can only say thank you to the club, to the fans that have supported me since the first day I wore this jersey and of course thank you and good luck to my team-mates, who helped me settle in since day one not only as a teammates but as friends.
Today I say goodbye to Manchester City but I take with me many memories, lessons and great moments that will live with me forever. It has been one of the best years of my football career.
At last I want to wish Manchester City many success for the future and thank the club for giving me the opportunity to sign for Valencia, a club to which I want to give back all the trust they ahve given me and start a new season with many success.
Thank you with all my heart.
Alvaro Negredo

Jannis Kounellis, "Da inventare sul posto (To invent on the spot)"
Transkrypcja filmu video
Female: A painting. A ballerina. A violinist. Jannis Kounellis' Da inventare sul posto, which translates as To Invent on the Spot, brings all three together and is on view in the exhibition Ileana Sonnabend: Ambassador for the New. (violin music) The artist conceived of this painting and performance in 1972. The large canvas, partially covered by loose brush strokes of pink paint, depicts several measures of music from Igor Stravinsky's score for the ballet Pulcinella. (violin music) The violinist repeats the music reproduced on the canvass until he takes a short break, and then begins his repetitions once more. (violin music) A ballerina dances in front of the painting, improvising her choreography during the first cycle and then repeating her movements each time the music starts again. (violin music) The work was presented in 1972 at Documenta in Kassel, Germany, and then at Kounellis' first solo gallery exhibition in the Unites States, held at Sonnabend Gallery in New York that same year. Throughout the course of the exhibition, it will be performed at MoMA over 40 times. Come join us in the invention.

What Causes a Low Pulse Oximeter Reading in Children?
A pulse oximeter measures the amount of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen. Oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) between 96 and 100 percent are considered normal, according to nursing instructor Kathy Lawrence, M.S.N. of the University of Texas Medical Branch 23. A reading of 100 percent means that all the hemoglobin in the red blood cells is carrying oxygen molecules. Children with low oxygen saturation don't have enough oxygen in the hemoglobin, usually because of respiratory problems. Mechanical problems can also cause low readings.
Respiratory Problems
Most children with low oxygen saturation have a respiratory disorder. Any disease that interfere with oxygen flow through the lungs can cause a low oxygen saturation, including conditions such as pneumonia, croup or chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis or bronchopulmonary disease, which makes the lungs stiff. Newborns who breathe irregularly or who have apneic periods where they stop breathing may also have low oxygen saturation. Children with asthma may have normal oxygen saturation, except when they have an asthma attack. Giving supplemental oxygen normally raises the oxygen saturation in children with respiratory disease, although severe asthma or lung damage, which narrows and constricts the tubes in the lungs, can make it difficult for oxygen to reach the lungs.
Poor Tissue Perfusion
If your child has poor tissue perfusion, the pulse oximeter will have difficulty reading the oxygen saturation accurately. Poor tissue perfusion means that not enough blood is flowing to an area. Extreme cold, decreased blood volume due to blood loss or dehydration, very low blood pressure, heart failure or diseases that disrupt blood flow to the arms and legs can all cause low oxygenation saturation due to poor perfusion. An irregular heartbeat can make it difficult for the pulse oximeter to record an accurate reading. If the child has a blood pressure cuff on the same arm as a pulse oximeter, the cuff interferes with blood flow when it pumps up, causing low readings.
If you're child is moving around or crying, SpO2 may be artificially low because the machine can't lock onto the signal long enough to read it. During a seizure, SpO2 will also fall, both because of decreased oxygenation and because of the child's movement. Vibrations in a moving vehicle, plane or helicopter, during a medical transport, for instance, will also interfere with readings.
Other Problems
If your child has sickle cell anemia, the irregular and abnormal shapes of the red blood cells can cause SpO2 to be either too high or too low. A number of mechanical problems can also interfere with the pulse oximeter, causing low readings. Very bright light shining on the pulse oximeter can skew the readings, as can very dark nail polish on a fingernail. Dark skin color does not cause low readings, however. Pulse oximeters do not measure carbon dioxide and can't diagnose respiratory failure due to carbon dioxide retention, states S.J. Fearnley of the Department of Anaesthetics at Torbay Hospital in the United Kingdom 1.

From the photographers, Radhika and Ian, a husband & wife team, Radian Photography:
"These two have seen each other through long medical school nights, are in the process of applying to residency programs, and now they are planning their wedding! The best part of our time with them had to be hearing about Monica and Sam's wedding plans and what they are excited about in this next phase of life. They know that residency will undoubtedly be difficult, but they are looking forward to knowing that when they go home at the end of their long days, it will be to each other. But the gorgeous Fall weather, Monica's dress (which matches her wedding colors!), and just the right amount of wind definitely didn't hurt. We are so glad we were able to capture these photos of them in celebrating their love before tying the knot!"

Being based in West Yorkshire, our head office is surrounded by former mills that have been converted into art galleries, apartments…and eco spas.
As the 8th and 9th September were Heritage Open Days, we thought we'd visit a historic building that's practically on our doorstep: Sunny Bank Mills, an art, design and culture space housed in a 3,000 sq ft cloth warehouse in Farsley. The guided tour was interesting and informative. Did you know that a 'skep' is a 'skip' without a lid? Or that the phrase 'on tenterhooks' is derived from mill life? A tenter is a wooden frame used to hang woollen or linen cloth to prevent it from shrinking as it dries – tenterhooks are (unsuprisngly) the hooks on the tenter used to hold the cloth in place.
If you're unaware, Heritage Open Days is England's largest festival of history and culture, bringing together over 2,500 organisations, 5,000 events and 40,000 volunteers. Every year in September, places across the country throw open their doors to celebrate their heritage, community and history. It's an amazing opportunity to see hidden places and gain new experiences of old buildings.
We've included a few of our favourite photos of Sunny Bank Mills below. Happy reading!
Sunny Bank Mills

Air Display is a very innovative iPhone app with support for Windows and Mac OS X. The application allows you to "stream" your desktop or, rather, part of your desktop to your iOS devices. The iPhone 3G/S and 4 and the iPod touch are supported, but this is an application that is best used with the iPad, because of all that screen real estate that you get. In short, when you install the Air Display server on your Windows or Mac OS X computer, the application installs a new video driver, which for all intents and purposes acts as an extra monitor. It behaves just as a monitor, and you can choose to extend your desktop to this new monitor if you want to. After the server is installed on your computer, you can simply launch the iOS app and if the devices are in the same network they will be able to communicate. Air Display makes it easy to control your computer from a distance or to get a wireless monitor that you can freely move around. You can use your hands on your iOS device to control the pointer of the mouse and to click around. As a second (or third) monitor, Air Display is a little sluggish. The performance that you can get from a wireless display over a wireless network (using today's standards) is very limited. But you can get a taste of what the future holds with Air Display. I wouldn't recommend playing video or graphics-intensive apps, but you can move any other type of window into the Air Display device by simply dragging and dropping. IM windows, panels, calculators, notepads, e-mail messages; they can all be moved there.

When you're selling many pony books a week, you don't tend to remember individual books. You remember the ones that are spectacularly rare - the ones you're excited just to have held before you send them off; the beautiful books; the books that someone has been desperate to find, but everything else comes under the heading of general stock, which you're glad to see going out of the door on its way to its new owners.
The books I do remember individually are the ones I bought at the beginning of my bookselling career. I remember buying Primrose Cumming's The Mystery Trek from a stall in Kettering's antique market. There were a couple of sellers who specialised in books, but they mostly sold modern paperbacks. The other stalls had the occasional book which was rather more interesting, and I can even remember where The Mystery Trek was: at the back of a white tableclothed stall, with a few other books.
I bought The Mystery Trek, and put it up on eBay, where it duly sold. I'd never heard of Primrose Cumming before, and this was the first of her books I'd read. It's one of her later titles, being published in 1964, and although there's plenty about a trek, the main focus of the story is the relationship between two sisters, Leonie and Susan.

and perchance ....... WHERE THE HECK DID YOU FIND A PLACE THAT STILL HAD THEM IN STOCK!!!!! Canadian Tire has them online but their "get it by Febrary 25th" and "we will notify you when you can pick it up" makes me think about delays and June....
You can also refill the 1lb tanks if weight is an issue.
on a quick look, you can probably get them at Sail or Cabelas or Canadian Tire .... I never trust Amazon unless I KNOW what I am buying and this is just a quick example..

Water is the lifeblood of our bodies so it is natural we should consume enough water to ensure that the 60% of us that is liquid is adequately supplied. Water apparently has additional benefits that not only encourage the interactivity of our chemistry but also helps us lose weight. Don't jeopardize your fitness plans by ignoring the simple no hassle activity of drinking water.
A study mentioned on CNN shows that water can help people lose weight (1). In the study, 48 obese men and women drank two 8 oz. of water before each of their three meals along with a low calorie diet. Half drank the water before their meals and the other half didn't. At the conclusion of the study (3 months) the group that drank the water lost 15.5 pounds when compared to 11 pounds in the control group.
We know that 4.5 pounds isn't that much but even a pound a month for a person in the normal range of weight adds up to 12 pounds a year. Any extra pounds are more than you would have lost if you didn't drink more water. If you are interested in fitness it is just a few extra pounds you didn't have to work for.
Drinking water also encourages the chemical compounds in your body to interact in the way they were designed (2). Before soda pop, alcoholic drinks, smoothies, and chocolate milk was the idea of plane old water. All other types of drinks require the body to clean out or use up the compounds.
Drinking water is a habit that becomes easier the more times you do it. Most people don't drink enough water and are chronically dehydrated. That dehydration constricts your blood vessels and the movement of nutrients within your body. You also can't filter the pollutants out of your system as fast as you can when you are hydrated. Get into the habit and carrying a reusable water bottle around; especially around eating time.

The hardest thing for value investors oftentimes is to stand by one's convictions, even when Wall Street doesn't seem to take notice of what you see. Shares of natural gas producer Chesapeake Energy (CHK) have been doing nothing for more than a year. Many investors have likely grown tired from Wall Street's yawns and have moved on to more hip names. However, CHK's fourth quarter earnings report issued yesterday afternoon once again shows that the company is clicking on all cylinders.
Chesapeake reported earnings of $0.90, 13 cents above estimates of $0.77 per share. Revenue came in at $1.87 billion, versus the consensus view of $1.52 billion. Spectacular quarters are nothing new for CHK, as they have reported stellar results for many quarters in a row now. However, the stock has merely been tracking the commodity price of natural gas, ignoring the fact that shares trade at 8 times trailing earnings and 5 times trailing EBITDA.
The weakness in Chesapeake shares, relative to its operating results, is likely due to two things. First, CHK has issued a lot of convertible debt to fund increased natural gas production, and continues to do so. In order to hedge their positions, buyers of the convertible debt simultaneously short the common stock in order to lock in the income generated from the convertible securities. The good news is that the land grab that CHK has embarked on is largely over so they are doing fewer acquisitions. In fact, CHK's long term debt actually fell in Q4 for the first time in a long, long time.
Investors also worry about falling natural gas prices when analyzing Chesapeake shares. This explains why CHK has been following spot gas prices for months now. This logic, though, ignores CHK's massive hedging activities (they sport the most aggressive hedging program in the industry). The company has hedged 50% of their gas production above the current market price for both 2007 and 2008. As a result, commodity price risk should not be a large concern for CHK investors.
As value investors know, it often takes a long time for Wall Street to realize that they have mispriced equities. Over the long term, CHK stock has reflected the value of its underlying business, even when short term movements do not. This time should be no different. And if the company's management team grows tired of waiting for their value to be realized, they surely would have numerous options if they were to sell their company outright to get out of the fickle public marketplace.

I made this look with romwe shorts and Toss a Penny tee during my holidays. You can see a big difference of light in the pictures compared to the pictures I had in Poland. Here is much more brighter, it is really beautiful and sunny.
This is a summer look and it has a fashionable drawing – the American flag. The t-shirt is full of UK culture… in fact there is written "God save the Queen". This is a good example of street fashion.
The shorts are available in Romwe, where the shipping worldwide is for free :)
The t-shirt is from Toss a Penny an Italian online store where there are cool t-shirt with cool drawings and texts. They also have a big collection of "green bags"

Guys, we're so screwed. The women know we didn't go hunting. (Kyrian) You think? What idiot came up with that lie? (Zarek) I'm not an idiot. And it's not like I lied. I just omitted what exactly we were hunting and where we were doing it. (Talon) Like your wives wouldn't know better? When was the last time Mr. Armani hunted something that didn't have a price tag on it? Oh, and the loafers and trousers are perfect camouflage. (Zarek)
