Den Kosmiska Havsträdgårdspassagen is an interactive, choreographed installation for the very young (2-18 months). The performance leads the audience through constantly shifting and contrasting visual, tactile and auditory stimuli. Themed as an exploration of the unknown wonders of the underwater, cosmic, and botanical realms of nature we offer the audience a calm and safe space as they journey through the installation. While the performers welcome the young audience to the space initially, the performance is ultimately shaped by the interests of the audience. The baby's freedom to move, observe, and interact with the installation and dancers, shapes the performance.
Choreography and Sound: Peter Mills
Dance and Light: Peter Mills and Rachel Tess
Scenography: Marta Cicionesi
Production: MARC, Riskteatern, Simrishamns kommun and Albin Hillervik

Let me run a potentially revolutionary concept by you: instead of chastising young girls and women for their standard of dress, how about we teach young boys and men that taking and sharing non-consensual photos of said young girls and women is a crime?
Apparently this constitutes fringe thought in 2016, with the news that one of the schools whose students have been implicated in the"schoolgirl porn" siterevealed this month held an assembly during which it heavily implied the burden of responsibility rested solely on female students.
Girls at Victoria'sKambrya Collegewere told to watch the lengths of their skirts, wear less make-up, and not to comply with any requests for "sexy selfies" that boys may make, nor to post any photos of themselves online.
"It doesn't matter what the girls are wearing, it should be about the choices those boys make and we should be encouraging these girls to be who they are without being shamed," said Catherine Manning, whose daughter was present at the assembly.
With each new "sex scandal"* (*sexual assault) and "sexy photo site"** (**non-consensual porn archive), I hold out increasingly less hope that something will change: that schools will teach boys about informed consent, or that rape victims won't be asked what they wore or drank, or that rapists, wife beaters and murderous ex-husbands won't be describedby friends as "good blokes" who were "having a hard time".
Just last week, a 32-year-old former Children's Court security guard was given a good behaviour bond after having sex with a 14-year-old, then living in a Department of Human Services-run residential care unit. County Court judge Christopher Ryan described the girl as "worldly". The guard "[wasn't] made of steel", Judge Ryan said, presumably implying that an adult man was powerless to resist the charms of a child.
I'm as angry as I am exhausted about this continued failure of our young people, about a climate that fails girls and women by placing the burden of responsibility for avoiding rape and assault, and it fails boys and men by assuming that they are, by nature, rapists in the making who need only glimpse an exposed bosom or "sexy selfie" before their inner monster springs forth. It's heartbreaking that we expect so little of our sons and brothers.
The students at Kambrya will not be the only ones who'll be advised to drop their skirt hems and avoid selfies over the ensuing weeks, just as more victims of statutory rape will be described as "worldly" or "sophisticated", and women whose private images are stolen will be told to hide themselves away from camera lenses.
It seems there's no point repeating the same case studies, analogies and quotes that my peers and I have been patiently disseminating for over a century, because we always end up in the same place: "don't get raped", not "don't rape"; "don't take naked photos", not "don't steal and trade stolen naked photos".
At times like these, wondering what can be done in the face of such apparent apathy stokes a searing-hot fury. It's enough to make the corner of your eye twitch as you consider totalitarian measures like throwing the smartphone of every young man who shares a "sext"*** (***stolen nude photo) into an industrial mincer.
After all, they confiscate and wreck hoons' cars, don't they?

The world wants to know your story
When my husband was stationed in the Army in the early 1980s, he and I moved into an old farmhouse in a tiny village just outside Ansbach, Germany with our 2 year old daughter, Amelia. Beyond the excitement of being in a new country, it also brought me a ghostly experience I will never forget.
The town boasted all of eight homes, most with attached barns full of cows and pigs. It was a quaint town with houses built before and slightly after WWII. By dawn every morning, large steel milk containers were set out by the side of the road for the milk truck, right next to the still-warm pile of cow manure that was waiting to be thrown across the fields that backed our homes.
Our home was an old two story farmhouse, with creaking wooden floors, and lathe-and-plaster walls that were cracked with age. It was large and comfortable even in the middle of a frosty winter night. Three generations of a German family had lived there, until the oldest grandson decided hed had enough of farm life, and moved his family to the city.
By European standards, the master bedroom was large, having once been used as a gathering place for small community meetings and Bible study. It had an attached ante-room that we used as a walk-in closet, but that little room was creepy and left me with an uncomfortable feeling whenever I went into it. It was dark and musty, and I always had a feeling that something was hiding behind the hanging clothes. The dim bulb that hung from a string in the center of the room didnt help matters, particularly when it swung back and forth and created gyrating shadows up and down and back and forth on the gabled walls.
One afternoon, about a month after we moved in, I put my daughter down to nap in her little bedroom just down the hall from ours. Then I went downstairs and worked on unpacking some of our knickknacks and pictures that really turn a house into a home. My husband was away on a two-week military maneuver somewhere in the German countryside. As I was bent down, retrieving something at the bottom of a large box, I felt the tug of a tiny hand on the back of my pants leg.
Thinking Amelia had gotten out of bed, I said, You better get back to your room. I didnt hear any movement, so I stood up and turned around. No one was there. I walked over and peeked into the kitchen, but it too was empty. I could not easily dismiss this as my imagination. The feeling of being touched by someone who was not there had been so real.
Later that evening, I had to stoke the boiler with enough wood to heat the water for a bath for Amelia and to keep the house warm during the night. The bedrooms and living areas were heated by hot water that ran through exposed pipes and radiators. I did this chore morning and evenings, and on really cold winter days, every few hours as well. You could hear the radiators loudly turn on and off throughout the night, and I had yet to get used to the sound. I could hear Amelia in her playroom talking to her stuffed animals. The conversation was so animated, I tip-toed from my task to listen at the door.
pasgetti? Want some? pasgetti? she asked. no? no? want some ashelshosh? She had that funny little lisp some kids have when they are beginning to talk, and I smiled and covered my mouth to keep from laughing aloud at her word for applesauce. I heard her set down her plastic toy plates as she offered different food.
want brot? she asked, using the German word for bread. no?
want cookie?
I started at the sound of a soft answering voice. Who was with her? I was sure we were alone. Did a neighborhood child come in while I was distracted? I walked to the playroom, but there was no one else there.
Amelia, who were you talking to?
Were you talking to your animals? I asked, pointing to a plastic table surrounded by a stuffed menagerie.
No, momma, she fed a pretend cookie to a giraffe sitting at the table. lil girl.
You were talking to a little girl? Amelia nodded, then pulled out her Lamby from his seat at the table and danced around with him. I glanced around, but no one else was in the room but us. Her attention was fully on her toy now, and though we chatted a bit more, I couldnt find out anything else about the imaginary friend. Combined with the mornings tug on my pant leg, I was feeling rather spooked.
A few nights later, I lay awake thinking about the things I had to do the following day. Its always difficult for me to fall asleep when my husband isnt around. I heard the radiator ping and clunk as it turned off in the bedroom, and I glanced at the moon just peeking out from under the top of the window frame. I turned toward the doorway when I heard a soft pad of feet come up next to the bed.
I expected to see Amelia, clad in her yellow feetie pajamas with little pink hearts. Instead, a little girl of about six stood by the side of my bed, near enough that I could have reached out to touch her. She was a white specter, shimmering in the semi-darkness. She wore a nightgown that was just long enough to brush the top of her feet and tightly clutched a doll against her chest. She had a sweet face, but I still cant forget the look that was on it.
Her little lips were curled up in a mixture of surprise and annoyance, obviously expecting someone other than me to be lying in this bed. She frowned suddenly, and then exhaled with a baby-sized huff. She glanced back behind her, and then turned to look at me again. Her annoyance had turned to sadness, and when her bottom lip trembled, I wanted to reach out and comfort her.
The radiator clunked on, startling me, and I glanced at it. I was distracted for only a half a second, but when I turned back, she was gone. I quickly jumped out of bed and ran to Amelias room. She lay there on her tummy, her face peaceful and serene, and her breath soft and even. I stayed next to her for a few minutes to reassure myself that Amelia was safe.
Trembling, I walked back to my room, turned on the closet light and glanced around. As I expected, it was empty. I was too frightened to go to sleep, and I grabbed the huge hunting knife I keep under my pillow for protection when my husband is away. With shaking legs, I roamed the house, flicking on lights and checking out rooms. It was telling that I didnt turn them off again, though I closed each rooms door after I glanced around.
This was the first of probably a dozen visits from the specter that I came to think of as the little lost girl. Some of her visits were longer than others, though none ever lasted more than perhaps two or three minutes, and she never appeared as strongly as she did that first night. She always seemed to be looking for someone, and was always disappointed. Once she came back to the bedroom at night when my husband was home, but by the time I roused him she was gone again. I asked the neighbors about her, if a child had died young in the home. But none of them could remember if that had ever happened.
I like to think that she must have been visiting her home, coming back after being long gone. I believe that when she appeared, she was hoping to see to her mommy or daddy or perhaps her grandmamma to come and comfort her. She never bothered any of us with negative activity, just surprised and, admittedly, frightened me when she appeared. I tried to communicate with her, sometimes talking to an empty room where I felt a presence. I wanted her to feel safe and to know we didnt wish her any harm. I never did get any reply. One in a great while, though, I would hear Amelia talking to the little lost girl. Amelia never seemed frightened and took the girls appearance in stride.
We left that farmhouse two years later when my husband was transferred back to the States. But I often think of the house, and the fun memories we had as a family there, as well as the extraordinary ghostly experience of the little lost girl.

Rigorous testing
Reliability is assured through rigorous on-going quality checks and controls, and with a limit of detection as low as 102 copies/ml, sensitivity is comparable with singleplex testing. Sensitivity is tested using both plasmid dilution series and clinical samples obtained from collaboration partners around the world. Our kits are not approved until there is less than one dilution step difference between singleplex and multiplex. All Fast Track Diagnostics kits are CE labelled (except HBV/HCV).
Every assay is tested with 66 clinical samples containing 11 gram positive bacteria, 26 gram negative bacteria, 3 parasites, 17 RNA viruses and 9 DNA viruses, so our assays only detect the specific pathogens they target.
Quality assessments
Our kits are regularly tested using QCMD and Instand external quality assessment panels. For example, out of more than 65 external assessments during 2013-2014, 100% of core samples were detected accurately by our respiratory kits. Occasional missed samples were "infrequently detected" or of "educational value" only:
Results from on-going assessments for a wide range of panels can be supplied on request and consulted on FTD website > Human line > Resources.
Comparisons made
Our kits are reliable, consistent and precise. Intra-assay and inter-assay comparisons are regularly made and are shown to be accurate over separate replication tests on different days. As illustrated by these examples for influenza A panels:
Different reagent batches are also tested to ensure consistent PCR run results. For example, the parameters illustrated in the table below were tested over three seperate runs and showed consistent results:
Stability and robustness
Finally, every assay is tested for stability and robustness for up to 24 months with no significant differences noted:
Every Fast Track Diagnositics kit has a Validation file with further detailed information about the above specific to each assay. Validation files are available for all our customers on FTD website on each product page.

The Business Case for 'Lifting and Shifting' Oracle EBS to the Oracle Public Cloud
While the race to the cloud continues, many organizations are not ready to rip and replace their existing on premise Oracle ERP systems and launch into a new and costly SaaS software implementation. Fortunately, SaaS is not the only rocket ship to the cloud. A much less intrusive approach is to re-platform your existing ERP software to the infrastructure cloud layer. This session will explain the basic concepts of cloud computing, evaluate alternative cloud ERP strategies and build the business case to continue to leverage your existing EBS investment.
Oracle Presentation 3:
Kal Patel
VP of Financial Systems
Synchrony Financial

INVENTORY – Fixed Assets CAN do that!
Ever participate in an on-site inventory count with temporary workers? Did the process run smoothly and efficiently? Did the process ensure audit compliance for your company's fixed assets? My guess is there's probably room for improvement in this area. The reason is that full asset inventory cycle counts can be time consuming, difficult to coordinate, and very expensive.
-Come see how Oracle Fixed Assets can be utilized to tie system counts to physical counts.
-Come see how business teams within your organization can help streamline the asset inventory process.
-Come see how Atlanta OAUG shares new and innovative ideas for improving everyday processes….See you there

I love love love Caramel Corn - but I'm not a very daring home chef and I just buy it - but I decided to be crazy and...MAKE IT MYSELF! I always thought caramel was this mysterious thing - but boy was I wrong! And then add an extra step to make it Praline Caramel Corn and you have a winner!
First stop - was Kroger! They have some great private label brands like Private Selection and Simple Truth that I am always bringing home. I had some of the popcorn at home - my husband loves snacking on it - but I picked up some Simple Truth brown sugar, Private Selection white chocolate chips and my favorite thing ever - Praline Pecans! I love those sugar pecans you get at festivals and I've made them before - but it's time consuming - so grabbing a can of these bad boys is much easier!!
After that's all cooled, I melted the white chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzled those over top - gave it that "cream" element to finish off the pralines flavor!
Praline Caramel Corn
prep time: 15 MINS cook time: 1 hour and 15 MINS total time: 1 hours and 30 mins
Who knew caramel corn would be so easy?!
1 cup Simple Truth light brown sugar
1/2 stick salted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Tablespoon vanilla
Pinch of coarse sea salt
1 bag Simple Truth Popcorn
1/2 can Private Selection Pecan Pralines, chopped
1/2 cup Private Selection White Chocolate Chips
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
For caramel sauce - Mix Simple Truth brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, vanilla and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-low to medium heat. Cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until thicker. Turn off heat.
Cover cookie sheet with parchment paper
Spread Simple Truth popcorn on parchment paper and add chopped Private Selection Pecan Pralines
Drizzle warm caramel over popcorn & pecans - toss gently and spread out evenly on pan
Bake for 1 hour - stirring every 20 minutes
Let caramel corn cool
Melt 1/2 cup Private Selection White Chocolate Chips in microwave (30-45 seconds at a time until liquid)
Drizzle white chocolate over caramel corn
Let cool for a few minutes and then serve! (Or store in airtight containers)

General Strength Training Concepts
The factors that truly matter for strength and hypertrophy have a clear order of importance. In this section, we've compiled videos and articles based on research for you to learn how to train optimally for your goals, and never hop from program to program again.
The ThinkEatLift Store
We have compiled a set of books and courses in which we wholeheartedly believe. We use them, and we want to give you the opportunity to use them too. Check out all of our "Strength Training" ThinkEatLift approved courses in our new Shop.
For a lean bulk to be possible, you have to start out lean (obviously). This is important because the first step of a lean gaining phase may actually be a cut. As we explained in the article Get Lean before Bulking, starting from a low body fat percentage allows you to gain more weight before…Click Here to Read More
A great looking male body has two ingredients: 1. A Low Body Fat Percentage 2. Solid Muscle Development When you put these two ingredients together you get a physique like the guys in the photo above – slim waist, thick shoulders and upper back muscles, masculine square chest, well developed arms and athletic legs. One ingredient…Click Here to Read More
The "rules" for productive weight training while cutting are not as clear cut as they are for nutrition. There are however a few basic principles that any productive workout routine for fat loss must be based on. We'll discuss these principles in today's article. By the end of this (long) post you'll have a good understanding of…Click Here to Read More
If your goal is to get shredded, your main focus during a cut should not be just weight loss, it should be fat loss with muscle maintenance. Losing weight doesn't necessarily mean your body composition (the fat to muscle ratio in your body) is improving. That is because some of the lost weight may actually…Click Here to Read More
You may have noticed that almost all the workout routines we recommend are built around Reverse Pyramid Training. We love this style of training because it's so efficient!

How to Reinstate a CDL in Ohio
Getting a suspended CDL in Ohio can be a difficult experience if you operate a commercial motor vehicle. An OH suspended CDL license can affect your employment. A commercial drivers license suspension in Ohio is typically referred to as a disqualification. Disqualifications can be issued to CDL holders for a number of reasons. These reasons may include committing common traffic violations that apply to all drivers in the state, as well as CDL-specific violations. You can reinstate suspended CDL license privileges in Ohio, however, if you meet certain qualifications and follow certain procedures. You can learn about reinstating suspended CDL license privileges in Ohio by reviewing the information below, which includes details on Ohio's CDL disqualifications.
Reasons for a Commercial Driver License Suspension in Ohio
An Ohio commercial driving license suspension can be enforced for a variety of situations, but they are most typically applied when a driver commits some sort of traffic violation. For instance, an OH suspended CDL may result from speeding more than 15 miles per hour over the speed limit. Additionally, you can get a commercial drivers license suspension if you are caught driving recklessly or changing lanes improperly. The BMV takes driving under the influence very seriously. You will get your CDL license suspended if you have a blood alcohol level that is 0.04 percent or more. You will also be prohibited from driving a commercial motor vehicle for 24 hours if you are found to have any alcohol in your blood. When you are issued a commercial drivers license, you agree to undergo blood alcohol tests whenever and wherever a law enforcement officer demands them of you. You may get your CDL suspended if you do not comply with an officer's request for a blood alcohol test.
You may still get a suspended CDL in Ohio even if you are not driving a commercial motor vehicle at the time that you commit a traffic violation. You may get an OH suspended CDL license if you commit a traffic violation in your own private vehicle while using your regular driver's license. A commercial driving license suspension may also occur as a result of many other types of moving violations not mentioned above. Note that different CDL suspension guidelines exist for different types of violations, as well as different types of commercial vehicles. A suspension tends to be more severe for drivers who transport hazardous materials. Also, keep in mind that you may incur harsher penalties after committing multiple offenses during a certain period of time. Too many commercial driver license suspensions may even result in the termination of your commercial driving privileges. In addition to excessive commercial driving license suspensions, there are also certain actions that can result in you permanently losing your CDL. Most of these relate to serious crimes and felonies, such as using a commercial vehicle to transport illegal drugs. Even more details on suspended CDL license reinstatement in OH can be accessed when you download our comprehensive guide.
Ohio Commercial Driver License Disqualifications
An Ohio commercial driving license suspension is typically referred to as a disqualification within the state, although many may use both terms interchangeably. An OH commercial driver license disqualification also refers to the disqualification period, which is the length of time that a commercial motor vehicle operator is prohibited from driving his or her vehicle. These suspended CDL periods, which are also known as disqualifications, may last anywhere from 60 days to the rest of a driver's life, in which case he or she can consider having lost any CDL driving privileges. CDL suspension periods vary depending on the type of traffic offense, as well as the type of commercial vehicle that was driven. For example, a CDL disqualification period is typically one year for drivers who have been caught with a blood alcohol level of 0.04 percent or higher. This suspended CDL period is increased if the driver was operating a commercial vehicle transporting hazardous materials. CDL holders who receive a disqualification are required by law to inform their employers right away. A driver with a suspended CDL license may face other repercussions from his or her employer. However, the BMV does not regulate an employer's actions in these instances.
Procedures for Reinstating an Ohio Commercial Driver License
Reinstating suspended CDL license privileges in Ohio is generally a simple process, even though it may take you some time before you are reissued your commercial driving license. The first step towards getting an OH suspended CDL license reinstatement is to serve the disqualification period required of you for the traffic offense you committed. This means that you will not be legally permitted to operate a commercial motor vehicle in the state of Ohio for a specified period of time. Remember that this suspended CDL period, commonly called a disqualification period, typically lasts at least 60 days. To reinstate your suspended CDL license after you have served the disqualification period, you will need to visit a physical BMV office and pay a reinstatement fee. More details on how to reinstate a suspended CDL can be found in our downloadable comprehensive guide.

|Holy Family parishioner Tim Pagliara, center, has scaled Mt. Kilimanjaro 10 times and has forged a strong connection with the people of Moshi, Tanzania, funding educational, health and church projects there.
Franklin Catholic businessman Tim Pagliara's love affair with Tanzania began in 2000, when he accompanied his son's Boy Scout troop to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Since then, Pagliara has scaled the mountain 10 times, most recently this past December when he was in Tanzania for the dedication of a new chapel he raised the funds to build.
"It's been kind of my passion for the last 17, going on 18 years," he said.
On his second trip to Tanzania, Pagliara became good friends with his mountain-climbing guides, who were also Catholic. With some extra time before returning to the states, he attended a Saturday Mass at the church in Moshi. Afterwards he knocked on the door of the rectory. "I asked them if they had any educational initiatives going on," said Pagliara. "I told them that I'd like to donate."
Pagliara had been "blown away" by the size of the parish, which at the time numbered 600,000 parishioners. "We don't have too many of those in the United States," he said. "The budgeted amount that the Catholic Church in Rome gave the Diocese of Moshi in 2000 was around $50,000. So they were pretty much on their own, which certainly highlighted the need to me. I knew my money wasn't going to administrative expenses. It was going to help people directly."
The priest, Father Ngawiliau Aristide, took Pagliara to the nearby college which the Bishop Amedeus Msarikie of Moshi had established with financial help from a group of European foundations. At the time, the college had an enrollment of 54 students. Its primary purpose was to certify teachers in science and math.
"They had a very limited facility, some small buildings that were designed for professors, one or two classroom areas and a computer lab," said Pagliara. "But they didn't even have reliable power or Internet connections."
Pagliara met with the president of the school, Father Philbert "Phil" Vulmilia. They began working on a way that Pagliara could support the college in its efforts. "I went back home and set up my own foundation," he said. "I donated the first real computers they had, a generator and some other things I had shipped over."
|Pagliara funded a new church in the Diocese of Moshi, Tanzania, pictured above, that was dedicated last month.
More connections would be made that would augment the initiative. Pagliara's family had a close relationship with Msgr. David Lantz of Springfield, Illinois, and the two men discussed the college project. In turn, Msgr. Lantz spoke with one of his parishioners – Dr. Robert Poorman – who had started the largest junior college in Springfield. Poorman was retired and had been working as a Fulbright Scholar. "He would go to third world countries and help them set up educational systems," explained Pagliara. "So I sponsored Bob to go to Tanzania twice, to help them develop a master plan towards accreditation."
The college would eventually become affiliated with the Catholic University System of Tanzania for accreditation purposes and curriculum. Today it is called Mwenge Catholic University.
With Pagliara's fiscal support, the college built its first dormitory. The current enrollment is 3,600, which is near capacity. The school hopes to keep growing to accommodate even more students. Another science and math building is under construction to enhance the college's research capabilities.
In 2016, Pagliara became aware that it was Bishop Msarikie's dream, since 2002, to build a chapel on campus. Although the Moshi Diocese gets money from a variety of sources in Europe, none of its sources were willing to support erecting a church.
By December, he was on board. "Father Phil was getting on and would likely retire in a couple of years," he said. "So I thought it was an important time to make it happen."
As a boy, Pagliara had attended Chaminade College Preparatory School in St. Louis, a Catholic college prep school operated by the Marianist Order. "One of my life-long mentors from there, Father Robert Osborne, had passed in May of 2015," he said. "So I said, 'let's build it, and let's build it the right way, and we'll dedicate it to Bishop Msarikie and Father Osborne.'"
They broke ground for the chapel in February 2017. It was dedicated 10 months later on Dec. 14. The completed structure seats 550 people and has a baptismal font. For the dedication ceremony, Pagliara flew Father Henry Miller in from Rome, an ordained Catholic priest and a Marianist who had started St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, and was a close friend of Father Osborne. He also flew in Father Osborne's brother, Pete, from California.
The joyous ceremony became an all-day event. "It's a big source of pride in a community like that to have a magnificent church," said Pagliara. "It is the center of campus life now. The university is going to continue to grow. I still have more initiatives I'm working on with them, like a second dormitory and some campus beautification."
The giving continues. Last year, Pagliara built a wing on a Tanzania hospital for vaccinations and a surgery recovery area for children.
Through his many trips and Kilimanjaro climbs he has grown very close to his guides. One of them, Respicius Baitwa, has a daughter, Lea, who wants to be a pharmacist. Pagliara has committed to sending her to pharmacy school at Belmont University when she graduates high school in two years. He's also endowed scholarships at his alma mater, Chaminade, in his parents' memory.
"It's good to be able to do it and not have to show up at a black-tie event to see where your name's positioned on the program," said Pagliara.
Which is pretty much how he goes about all of his philanthropic activities: staying behind the scenes, without receiving much fanfare. Although Holy Family Church in Brentwood is his home parish, Pagliara spends most of his time and energy practicing his faith with his friends and colleagues in Tanzania.
"Maybe if someone knows about my giving they'll be inspired to do similar good work," he said. "I'm not out there looking for press, but it's an amazing story how it all came together for the chapel. Like my mom used to say, 'God works in mysterious ways.' He still does."

Mitochondria: a new therapeutic target in chronic kidney disease
During CKD, the progressive deterioration of renal function [1] induces several biological and clinical dysfunctions including alteration in cellular energetic metabolism, change in nitrogen input/output, protein malnutrition, resistance to insulin and considerable enhancement of synthesis of inflammation/oxidative stress mediators [2–6].
Several authors have reported that in CKD, even in the early stage, there is an abundant production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [7] mainly due to an hyperactivation of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase [8–10], elevated synthesis of oxidative stress markers [e.g., F2-isoprostanes, malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP)] and release of uremic toxins. The level of all these factors is inversely correlated with the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [5, 11–13].
The early stages of CKD require nutritional and pharmacological interventions to minimize uremic symptoms and maintain volume homeostasis (conservative therapy), while in the final stage of renal failure these alterations may induce the development of severe and life-threatening clinical complications and renal replacement therapies (RRT: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) are necessary.
Although necessary to ensure patients' survival, hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) exacerbate oxidative stress [14, 15] by exposing blood to the contact with low biocompatible dialytic devices or fluids. In HD, the contact of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with plastificants and filters [16] and the microbial contamination together with the release of pyrogens in dialysate induce ROS synthesis as part of the immune response [17–22]. Moreover, similarly to CKD, HD patients show an increased free radical-catalyzed peroxidation of arachidonoyl lipids with elevated production of lipid peroxidation products [MDA, 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and F2-isoprostanes] [23, 24]. Other markers of oxidative stress shown to be elevated in HD include lipid hydroperoxides, oxidized-LDL and AOPP [11, 25–30].
At the same time, plasma levels of both non-enzymatic (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin E) [31] and enzymatic antioxidants [e.g., superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and paraoxonase (PON1)] are reduced in CKD and HD patients [32–35].
The above mentioned imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in patients with advanced renal impairment can accelerate renal injury progression and may contribute to the high rate of clinical complications in both CKD patients in conservative and dialysis treatment. Major complications include cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, amyloidosis and DNA-Damage-Associated Malignancy [36].

Day 12 – Before setting out for the day I practiced my sitting meditation in the dark stillness of my small bedroom while sitting on the floor as my husband slept. I am now to the point where each morning when I wake up one of my first thoughts is of sitting meditation.
As spring break comes soon to a close my son and I dusted off our bikes from a long winter's rest in the garage/wood shop/messy dumping ground for my husband's roofing business and cycled downtown with some friends. We went to lunch and then to our free local art museum. It was a quiet day amongst the art and for the most part we had the museum all to ourselves. As we walked around I was aware of how all beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just as there is no one right beauty there is also no one right way to do anything. We like to think there is only one right way to live and be (our way of course) but in reality this is simply not true.
The following excerpt is from the MAM's (Missoula Art Museum) website (pertains to pictures above and below):
MAM is pleased to host the exhibit Blindsided, designed and installed by Molt, MT artist Tracy Linder. Blindsided addresses the artist's deep rooted connection to the land and her belief in the sanctity of our food sources. Linder states, "For over twenty years, I have been exploring the cultural significance of agriculture and agribusiness along with the integral roles of science, humanity and philosophy." The word "blindsided" brings to mind a phenomenon that catches us unawares, especially with a harmful or detrimental result. In the same way, we are often blindsided by information which addresses the artificial manipulation of agriculture and the food supply, sometimes very unexpectedly. Linder goes on to state, "My works are derived from living a life close to the land as I transform remnants of animal, plant, human, and machine into visceral hybrids that reveal the reciprocal relationships necessary to sustain life. I grew up on a farm and now live on the vast windswept prairie of south central Montana. It is a place where the life-cycle is revalent and death is commonplace. I prefer to consider the mass of these circumstances by looking at the individual; the source."
The presence of nearly identical cow heads communicates multiplicity, reproduction, and identity. Constructed from cast cotton paper, fescue grass, and metal ear bands, Blindsided masterfully communicates a sense of cloning and the manipulation of nature. We are reminded that when everything is identical, we lose uniqueness. Linder continues, "The cyclical patterns embedded in time are inherent to my process. I create unique handmade multiples to emphasize timelessness. The survival instinct is a resource. It is true 'all flesh is grass' and I am always seeking to reveal the intermingled and interdependent relationships necessary to the survival of both the grass and the flesh."
The rows of casted paper cow heads spoke of gentleness and grace. A soft texture and chalk white color delicately decorated each sweet bovine depiction of Montana's prairie dwellers. Each was equipped with two blades of grass which added an element of depth and beauty to a perhaps otherwise sterile installment. When I showed the pictures I took of this exhibit to my husband he said they were a little creepy. Ah, beauty to one can be creepy to another. There is no right way to look at a paper cow head. Just as there is no right way to look upon life. Which means perfection is but another illusion that we have to train ourselves to get out of.

Much More than Steak and Cake
Although Madonna Inn is world renowned for its spectacular décor, and delicious dishes, it boasts incredible retail shops as well! Our Gourmet and Wine Shop offers unique home items, gifts, decadent chocolates and snacks and a wide selection of California's finest wines. Up the marble balustrade and to the right is our Gift Shop, which carries everything from Children's apparel and gifts, to post cards and Madonna Inn signature apparel and souvenirs. Adjacent to the Gift Shop is one of my favorite places in the Madonna Inn -- the Boutique. Carrying men's and women's fashions and accessories, the boutique is always my first stop for a chic 'fit. Cheri Humphrey, the boutique manager, is truly gifted when it comes to styling. Given anything from a western event to a formal wedding, she will pull a number of different pieces for me to try that are tasteful and sophisticated, yet still fun and fresh.

My Goal:
- I aim to read 5/6 books during the week and hopefully finish them all or finish five and start the sixth. They're a mixture of books really. Alot of them are new books I've bought recently and want to read simply because I know I might not read them for while, end up buying more books and they'll be pushed more towards the back of my 'to be-read' pile. One book I had bought for me three Christmas' ago and its about time I picked it up and read it! One is on my kindle just because it'll be alot easier to take with me when I go away over the weekend for a few days.
- I aim to read everyday and not just before bed like I usually do. I'll have alot of spare time after my last exam and will want to read and play on ps3 so maybe I'll have to allot some time for me to read in the day.
Books to Read:
- Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins
- Wither - Lauren DeStefano
- Prince of Thorns - Mark Lawrence
- The Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater
- The Last Wish - Andrzej Sapkowksi
- Shards of S'darin - William Kenney
So I'll aim to read the five but hopefully I would have started the sixth one or even finished it, who knows :P If you want to find out more about the challenge or sign up yourself visit the Bout of Books Read-a-thon site here.

WBZ-TV newscast set gets $750,000 facelift:
Change is also happening off camera. The station has downplayed its light-hearted social media franchises such as "Conversation Nation'' and "Declare Your Curiosity'' - which asked viewers for story tips - in favor of more hard news and investigative reports that its parent CBS news division is known for.Find the station at CBS Boston WBZ.
WBZ had a good thing going with "Conversation Nation'' and "Declare Your Curiosity'' but they didn't take it far enough. I had fun going in an making a promo encouraging people to engage with the station.
Fun huh?
In 2012 I'd love to be able to work with a local media outlet and be on TV.

Located just 20 minutes from downtown, Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Thurgood Marshall Airport delivers a traveler-pleasing, easy-in, easy-out experience that means exceptional convenience for your meeting, event and convention attendees.
With more than 300 daily non-stop departures, flights to 80 domestic and international destinations, and easy access by taxi, shuttle, rail or light rail, BWI is the ultimate in efficiency.
Ranked #1 by Thrillist.com in its 2016 list of "Top 10 Surprisingly Great Airports in America," citing proximity to Baltimore, low airfares and top-quality concessions.
And now the BWI Marshall experience is even better. A recently-completed $125-million project expands food and retail offerings and adds a new, eight-lane security checkpoint to serve both domestic and international travelers.
The upgrade also created a new, secure connector between two BWI concourses for an expected expansion in international service. (British Airways recently began using the technologically advanced 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft on its BWI-to-Heathrow daily non-stop flights.)
Future airport improvements include a planned $8-million makeover for the BWI Marshall rail station, which provides both Amtrak and MARC (Maryland Area Regional Commuter) service to Baltimore's downtown Camden Yards station and Penn Station in the Mount Vernon-Station North neighborhood.
Rated best U.S. airport for healthful meal options by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in 2014, noting that 92% of airport restaurants serve nutritious options for travelers.
As flight offerings are expanded and visitors spread the word on their positive travel experiences, BWI Marshall has been setting new passenger traffic records every year. A major Southwest Airlines hub, the airport also has seen non-stop service additions from other carriers — including links from Los Angeles, Seattle and San Diego by Alaska Air; connections to Tampa and Fort Myers by Spirit Airlines; and smaller-city service by Allegiant Air to locations like Ashville, NC, and Tulsa, OK.
Convenience, on-time performance, flight selection, low-fare options and superior amenities make BWI Marshall Airport the perfect gateway for your attendees, ensuring a great start to your next event.

September 11 Responders Still Waiting For Relief Promised In 2010
Michael McAuliff
WASHINGTON, D.C. — It's been 11 years since terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center towers, and more than a year-and-a-half since President Barack Obama signed into law a bill meant to compensate responders and survivors sickened from exposure to the hazardous debris and toxins of Ground Zero.
But they're going to have to wait a while longer — perhaps more than a year — before most of them start to see any of the money authorized in the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act.
"It's going to be a process, and I think it's going to take a year or two until that process really gets moving," said Sheila Birnbaum, the special master of the $2.775 billion 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. "People have to get medical records, they have to do all kinds of things, and they're going to have to get certified that they meet the criteria."

Begleri (Greek: μπεγλέρι) is a small skill toy consisting of one or more beads at either end of a short string. The toy can be flipped and twirled around the fingers to perform tricks. Begleri originated in Greece, and originally derived from the Greek rosary or komboloi, which serve the function of worry beads, and are often flipped around to pass the time or to keep the hands busy. While komboloi have beads forming a closed circle, begleri beads are threaded on an open strand, usually in a symmetrical formation, with equal weighting at either end. Begleri come in many forms, consisting of semi-precious stone, wood or metal beads.
Historically, begleri was associated with the Greek mangas subculture, and the rebetiko style of music, popular from the 1960s onwards. In recent years, begleri has grown in popularity outside of Greece, as a skill toy and everyday carry item. This has led to a proliferation of begleri designs and styles, using all manner of modern materials.
Begleri Beads
A playable set of begleri can be made from a wide range of materials, in an assortment of shapes and sizes. Traditional begleri from Greece are often made from semi-precious stones, or materials such as animal bone or horn, which can be carved. However, these materials tend to be somewhat delicate and do not stand up well to hard play. The most common modern begleri in Greece, are made from small cylindrical metal beads, often aluminum, which are partially hollowed or recessed, which encloses the knot.
You can also make a begleri yourself by stringing a handful of hex nuts (usually two to six, depending on the size and weight) together on a piece of paracord or braided string. Metal beads tend to be preferred due to their weight and durability. While the size, shape, and weight of begleri are generally a player preference, most sets tend to be within a conventional range of shapes (round or partially rounded without significant protrusions), sizes (generally from 15mm to 25mm in diameter), and weights (generally between 10g and 20g per bead). Beads outside of these ranges may be awkward for average players to handle. Light materials such as most plastics and woods can be used to make begleri, but are often given a metal core, since they are too light for the preference of many players on their own.
String Length
String length is a personal preference, and begleri players use a variety of lengths. However, different lengths of string tend to make certain tricks, transitions, or styles of play either easier or harder because of the amount of string required to wrap around the fingers, or to span the with of different numbers of fingers. Some tricks may be impossible with a string that is too long or too short. There appear to be two emerging "standards" in string length, which players have been referring to as the "short game" and the "long game". Historically, the longer version of begleri was very popular in Greece during the 1960s; however, these were outlawed as potentially dangerous during the military junta of 1967-1974, and subsequently, the shorter version of play became popularized.
- Short game: The shorter of the two common string lengths is measured against the width of the hand, with most players preferring a string length of about 2cm wider than their hand width. The short game is associated with quick tricks where the begleri snap between positions.
- Long game: The longer of the two common string lengths is measured against the span of the fingers, roughly corresponding to the distance between the tip of the index finger and the tip of the pinkie finger if the fingers are spread wide. The long game is associated with tricks that involve partially wrapping the string around the fingers during play.
Grips and Positions
The begleri can be held in a variety of ways. In general, the begleri is held between fingers, usually between the first and second knuckles (rather than towards the base of the fingers), as this provides more range of motion during tricks.
