Standards, FTW–Apple VGA and HDMI Adapters with the Surface Pro + Ethernet USB Adapter
You know I'm a fan of standards, both internal organizational standards and external open standards. Today was one of those days that made me feel like hugging a few more.
Have Surface Pro, Willing to Travel
I have a Surface Pro. It has been fun to get to know it, but I've had one thing stopping me from making it my primary travel machine: I would need to use it as a presentation device. When I bought it, the Microsoft store was out of the Surface Pro VGA adapters and due to hardware differences, the one for the Surface RT won't work. I figured this was a typical Canadian retail outage and I could pick one up in the US or online somewhere. But then I started searching. Amazon.ca, BestBuy.ca. All sold out. So then I tried BestBuy.com. Not available online. Unavailable for pick up in any store I searched for.
I did see that Microsoft online stores would let me order, but I was worried that if I ordered I would then get a dreaded "backordered" email a few days later. So I resigned myself to wait.
But Wait…
Then I noticed something I should have noticed all along: the adapter wasn't a proprietary connection like the power supply; it was Mini DisplayPort Adapter. Where had I heard that before? Thinking, thinking….BINGO. My MacBook Air uses Mini DisplayPort adapters. Could they work? I doubted it. I was sure there's be something that just wouldn't work. But I grabbed my set of VGA and HDMI adapters (the bottom two adapters in the photo) and hooked them up first to my TV, then a monitor. Bingo. They worked. I didn't need to wait for Microsoft or lug around my heavy Targus Dual Display Dock that I bought. I could just keep using the same adapters for both my MacBook Air and my Surface Pro.
I didn't have to install any drivers. All I had to do was configure the Surface to use an external device (Left side swipe to open the charms, click Devices, then Second Screen) and it all just worked.
Wired Ethernet
That left the USB Ethernet dongle (the top adapter in the picture), something else I needed because sometimes I stay in hotels that don't have Wi-Fi but do have wired Internet. I do travel with a small wireless router, but sometimes there's an issue with the hotel's proprietary login/charge screen. Having the option to wire up my tablet is a bonus.
I tried just plugging in my Apple USB Ethernet cord, but no joy. So I did some searching and came across these two blog posts that made it work":
- Liu Bo's post on where to grab suitable drivers for Windows 8 and how to modify them to work. It's a simple text edit and save.
- Laslow's post on how to temporarily disable signed driver checking to install the modified driver. He has great detailed instructions and it's only temporary, so a restart means I'm back to checking drivers.
That worked. So now I have two display options, HDMI and VGA and I know that I can find these in lots of retailers if I need more.
Standards, FTW
This all worked because neither Apple nor Microsoft chose to use proprietary adapters or appware to support video out on their devices. This is why standards are better for consumers. I can Reduce the purchase of more eCrap and iCrap. I can Reuse things I already had. Hopefully, they are Recyclable as well. They will at least have a much longer lifespan that all my proprietary connectors from the last 15 years.
Standards help consumers, even if they cut a bit of icing out of the math for the manufacturers. This is why Europeans have pretty much forced device manufacturers to use standard chargers. We need standards. Standards make stuff just work.

The average baby will add 1 centimetre to their height every month at this stage
And they will go on to double their birth height by around the age of 3.
By 12 months, baby's foot length will usually be half of what their adult foot length will be
By now your baby may be on the move whether it is crawling, climbing or taking small steps, and it is great to see them growing up before your eyes.
Your baby's diet now and heading into toddlerhood will influence their future health as adults
Research has shown that environmental factors such as nutrition can not only influence their health now but it will also play a role in adulthood health.
It may be time for baby to get their very first pair of shoes soon
This is a big milestone for you and your baby, but remember not to go overboard - they will outgrow these quite quickly.
More than half of your little one's energy intake will go directly to their brain - more than twice the amount of energy an adult brain needs
So it is important that they are getting all the key nutrients they need to support this rapid growth and development during this phase - this will stand to them when they are older. Make sure to include 3 main meals and 2-3 healthy snacks.
Your baby is now officially a toddler!
Congratulations - your baby has now reached 1 year and is officially a toddler! Welcome to toddlerhood - this is a whole new adventure.
Congratulations! Your baby has now reached 1 year and is officially a toddler! Even though you are watching your toddler turn into the little person that they will become, it is important to remember that they are not mini adults and they have their own unique needs. The toddler years are a period of rapid growth and development and key nutrients such as iron, calcium, omega-3, vitamins B, C and D are all crucial to set them up for a healthy future.
To fuel their development, your toddler needs a steady stream of energy and nutrients throughout the day. That's why it's important to feed your toddler a balanced diet of 3 main meals and 2-3 healthy snacks each day. Use the toddler food pyramid as your guide. Research has shown that some toddlers in Ireland are not getting enough iron and vitamin D, even with a well-balanced diet. Aptamil Growing Up milk 1-2 years is specially formulated for toddlers unique nutritional requirements and can help to reduce the risk of iron and vitamin D inadequacies in their diet.

A new case of the deadly dog disease Alabama Rot has been confirmed in Chorley.
It is the fourth case to be confirmed in Lancashire since 2014 and is leading vets to issue warnings to dog owners across the county.
The disease is still very rare, especially in Lancashire, where the Chorley case is only the fourth to have been confirmed in the past five years.
The other three Lancashire dogs to catch the disease lived in Heath Charnock (November 2017), Fulwood, Preston (January 2016) and Garstang (June 2014).
But another case reported in January has been confirmed just ten miles away in Lostock near Bolton.
In 2014, a dog from the Heath Charnock area was infected after walks had been taken in Lower Rivington, near the castle and reservoir, as well as around Anglezarke Reservoir.
The dog and its owner said they had also taken walks in the Adlington area, along the canal from the White Bear Marina to Red Rock near Standish,Wigan.
Another regular route was around King George Playing Fields in Adlington and along a circular route from Factory Lane to Yew Tree Inn, along The Street, Long Lane and back to Factory Lane.
But Lancashire's record of Alabama Rot compares favourably with other parts of the North West where the disease has struck.
Wigan had four cases of the disease confirmed in a two-week period between March and April 2014 and seven cases have been confirmed in Bolton since 2014.
The latest case in Chorley is one of four new cases confirmed in total across the UK, with dogs in Huddersfield (West Yorkshire), Chapel-en-le-Frith (Derbyshire) and St Austell (Cornwall) also contracting the deadly disease.
The highest number of cases have been seen in West Sussex, Dorset, southern Hampshire, Greater Manchester and Monmouthshire.
In total, the UK has now seen 181 confirmed cases across 38 counties since 2012, with 52 cases in 2018 and 6 in 2019.
This disease is still very rare, so vets are advising dog owners to remain calm but vigilant, and to seek advice from their local vet if their dog develops unexplained skin lesions.

For cream cheese lovers, these tangy cookies pack a double dose—in the cookie dough and in the puckery lime glaze. Dried blueberries add sweetness and chew. Cooking the cream cheese before adding it to the dough eliminates some of the moisture that could otherwise make these cookies too soft. If your blueberries are too dry, plump them in hot water for five minutes, then dry them well before adding to the dough.

Shoplifting Haul o' the Week: A strawberry bush, a flex hose, a perennial bush, a gas-powered saw, a shovel, two hollyhock plants, a sponge, an iris bush, a lily bush, a pair of gloves, a gardenia bush, three Playstation 3 games, and a bag of potting mix. Total value: $333.40.
When asked about an open bottle of wine he was carrying down the sidewalk, a 19-year-old told police, "It's a large bottle of water." Must've been coming from that wedding party in Cana.
A witness called police to report that he was in a park when he saw a man wearing nothing but a shirt get out of a car and start masturbating. When police arrived, they found the man in his car in a parking lot and ordered him to freeze. The man said, "Can I put my pants on first?" and then opened the door to reveal he was still naked from the waist down. After pulling up his drawers, the man explained that he comes to the park "to get away from everything and to relax," according to an incident report.
Two men stole 100 feet of metal conduit and 21 feet of chain link fence from a man's front yard. The homeowner was able to provide police with video footage of the theft because he had a night-vision hunting camera recording from his front porch.
A drunk woman was found to have an open gallon bottle of sangria stashed in her purse. Flasks are for wimps.
Police arrested a drunk man who was trying to talk on his cell phone while it was upside-down.
A man walked into a pizza parlor, ordered a pizza, and then revealed that he was unable to pay for it. When the owner told him to leave, the man refused. When police told him to leave, he bowed his head and balled up his fists, forcing the officers to arrest him. Outside on the sidewalk, when asked why he had refused to leave, the man said, "I have to show her that I love her." (The man also said he had been using meth and cocaine.)
A woman reported that a planter box containing creeping jasmine had been stolen from her window. She told police that "she is a previous president of the Garden Club and believes only a select subset of society would be interested in stealing her planter box and foliage," according to an incident report.
After her family bought a miniature pinscher from a man on Craigslist for $15, a 16-year-old girl took the dog to a pet store to get its vaccinations. Once inside the store, the dog bit her hand and then ran loose in the store.
After peeing on several people's lawns, a man was asked by police why he was arguing with homeowners. He replied, "Because, because." He also said, "I'm drunk, I'm drunk."
Charming Late-Night Anecdote o' the Week: A man and woman visiting town from out of state were seen urinating together behind an SUV in an alley.
While pulled over at a traffic stop, a man tried to hide a bag containing 25 grams of weed in his underwear. Next time you buy from a dealer, consider that he might be selling his own special brand of Crotch Kush.
Somebody stole an $850 uninstalled staircase from a construction site. Guess they couldn't afford that stairway to heaven.
Police stopped two men who were walking in traffic on the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge at 3:30 a.m. The men said they were walking to the Isle of Palms. Later, at 5 a.m., police found a lone woman walking in traffic on the Ravenel, and she also said she was making the 11-mile trek to IOP. There's a damn sidewalk right there, y'all. Use it.
While being arrested for peeing in the bushes in front of a grocery store, a man told police, "I pulled my dick out to take a piss and they came and interrupted me. I wasn't doing anything wrong. A man can take a piss! I was trying to take a rest."
A man was arrested on a public intoxication charge after he attempted to climb a monument in Marion Square. John C. Calhoun and the Obey Giant looked down on him with scorn in their eyes.
Police Tell-Off o' the Week: A drunk man who was getting in fights with random people in a residential area told a police officer, "I don't have to do nothing you say. You a racist!"
Police stopped to check on a woman who was vomiting in the roadway. When asked how much alcohol she had consumed, she replied, "It's my bachelorette party." The officer handed the lucky bachelorette a ticket for public intoxication.
A night-shift employee at a gas station convenience store was caught on camera stealing $3,700 worth of gift cards, $1,700 in cash, a carton of menthols, and an entire rack of cigarillos from the store while singing the Britney Spears song "Oops!... I Did It Again" to herself.

Spring for me doesn't just mean warmer weather and days spent enjoying the outdoors. It also means ice cream. This is going to sound crazy, but there's something about sunny days that makes me want ice cream. Doesn't matter the flavor or whether it's hard or soft serve, full fat or low-fat, I just desire a big bowl of it everyday. Yes, folks, ice cream is my Achilles heel.
Sure I could buy the low-fat or sugar-free kind and eat a 1/2 cup serving each day, but the problem is, if there's a container of it in my freezer, I rarely ever can stop after one scoop. It draws me back one spoonful at a time and before I know it, it's all gone. And this cycle happens every time I buy it. I try to convince myself that "This time I make it last," but it never does. And there's no way I'm quitting it, so here's the solution I've come up with that seems to work.
Instead of buying a pint or half-gallon, I buy single serving products. I find I can more easily turn down a second or third serving if things are packaged separately. Must be some kind of weird mental thing, but it works. It also doesn't hurt that those single servings cost more and so I'm more inclined to make them last.
You know what? I think it's time for some ice cream! Right now I'm loving the Starbucks Ice Cream Bars…mmmmmm!

The site chosen for this thesis project is located in downtown Blacksburg, Virginia. It consists of a 30'x110' infill lot and an alley running parallel to it. An initial desire to blur the boundary between the alley and the proposed building led to a study of the potential of parallel planes overlapped along the shared border. Representation of these planes in two dimensions allowed almost simultaneous perceptions of multiple spatial and geometrical configurations among them. The architectural consequences of this phenomenon became the main subject of inquiry. Exploration through silkscreen prints and model studies culminated in the design of an outdoor art gallery.

From WESH.com:
"Judge Lisa Munyon denied Casey Anthony's request on Thursday to dismiss the civil trial against her.
Munyon released a summary judgment for both Zenaida Gonzalez and Casey. Gonzalez's attorneys asked Munyon to rule in her favor instead of going to trial in January. Munyon denied that motion.
Casey's attorneys asked the judge to dismiss the trial altogether, but Munyon denied that motion.
Munyon did rule that Gonzalez cannot use statements that Casey made to law enforcement about Gonzalez. Gonzalez can only use statements Casey made to her friends and family about her, according to the judge.
Gonzalez is suing Casey for defamation. She says Casey ruined her reputation when she said a nanny with the same name kidnapped her daughter, 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony, in 2008.
The trial is set to begin on Jan. 2, 2013. The pretrial conference will be held in December.
Casey's attorneys said that the case has no merit.
Attorney's said that Casey never identified Gonzalez as "Zanny the Nanny" when she was shown pictures of Gonzalez. Documents show Casey said, "That's not her."
"The fact of the matter is this plaintiff, Zenaida Gonzalez, is not 'Zanny the Nanny,' no matter how badly she wants to be," said Greene.
Another point Casey's attorney's make was that Casey claimed her made up nanny was Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez, not Zenaida Gonzalez like the plaintiff signs her name.
Gonzalez put herself in the public eye by conducting interviews, according to the documents filed by Casey's attorneys.
The last point attorneys made in their motion for dismissal was only after Gonzalez showed her face on TV did she received impolite and unwanted comments from the strangers.
Cindy Anthony made a declaration in support of her daughter. Cindy said the plaintiff does not even in the slightest resemble the woman her daughter described as Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez."
I'm not too surprised with this latest BS ruling, but I know January 2013 is a long way away…

Jennifer's Way Bakery | New York, NY
Gluten-free peeps in NYC are spoiled. There, I said it.
Why, you ask? Well, we have a TON of choices in the city when it comes to eating out, buying products and scoring oodles of delish baked goods. Now NYC may not be as spoiled as Portland for instance, but we rank pretty damn high on the spoiled scale for sure.
One thing you can find in abundance in NYC are gluten-free bakeries. They are everywhere, and more pop up every day. For those who don't have traditional storefronts, they get crafty and sell their goods at other retailers like coffee shops, natural foods stores and more.
I've visited quite a few of the GF bakeries in NYC including Tu-lu's and Babycakes, both of which I love. When I heard that a new bakery had opened, started by Jennifer Esposito, I know I had to check it out.

Almost every GF person in NYC (and everywhere else) knows about Jennifer Esposito (who I remember fondly from Spin City in the 90s) and her struggle with Celiac disease. She was supposedly even laid off of Blue Bloods because of her symptoms from the disease. Instead of being understanding about it, she claims the network let her go. Not one to let it get to her, she focused all of her energy on starting her own line of gluten-free products, and now has a bakery called Jennifer's Way Bakery in the East Village.
I recruited a friend from work, who was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease, to head over to Jennifer's bakery with me on a cold and rainy day to check it out.
The bakery itself is super cute and cozy with a big table off to the side. We walked in and immediately noticed that Jennifer was sitting there catching up on business and making plans to get the word out about her bakery with her team. I have to give her kudos for being truly involved with her bakery instead of just passing it off to someone else to deal with like so many celebrities tend to do.
The baked goods case, while small, had an array of yummy looking treats to choose from including cookies, cupcakes and fresh baked breads. It was hard deciding which treats to buy, but I finally decided on a couple of vegan chocolate chip cookies, a raspberry jam cookie and a teeny, tiny Devil's Food cupcake. All of the treats were dairy-free, in addition to being gluten-free. The chocolate chip cookies were actually vegan!
I couldn't wait to try the cupcake so as soon as we left the store, my friend and I huddled under my umbrella and I scarfed the mini cupcake in one bite. It was extremely moist, with a slight tang which I *think* is from apple sauce. The frosting was sweet, but not over-powering, if a tiny bit crunchy from the sugar in it.
As soon we got back to our office, I devoured the rest of my treats, but not before snapping a photo of them to share with you.
The chocolate chip cookies were actually quite good, albeit a bit healthy tasting since they are vegan. I loved the texture, which was soft and chewy. The raspberry cookie was also good, but not my favorite. The texture was like a soft oatmeal cookie, and the flavor was very much similar to an oatmeal cookie, except with a dollop of raspberry jam on top. It was good, but I think I was in more of a sweet and decadent mood that day.
Jennifer's Way Bakery seems like a great addition to the gluten-free foodie landscape in NYC, offering something for everyone. Plus, it's right next to Quintessence, so you can have a healthy lunch and indulge in a tasty treat for dessert.

Notes from 1/13/16 Stop Shock: National Call to Defeat FDA Proposed Rule on Shock Devices
Present: Shock Survivors; Psychiatric Survivors; Allies; MindFreedom Members
Known States Represented: California; Colorado; Idaho; Illinois; Kansas; Massachusetts, Michigan; Minnesota; New Jersey; New York; and Vermont.
Background: There is a long history of the FDA attempting to classify the shock device as a Class II device. It was grandfathered into the FDA as a Class III device – meaning it cannot be a Class I or Class II device because it has not been declared safe or effective.
Discussion: The call started with a question as to what spurred the FDA into action now. A possible answer:
According to the FDA, on July 9, 2012, the Food and Drug Administration Safety Innovation Act (FDASIA) was amended to change the process (perhaps ease the process) for "requiring premarket approval for a preamendments Class III device from rulemaking to an administrative order" (p. 81224). This allows the FDA to reclassify a device if there is "new information" (p. 81224). The FDA apparently took it upon itself to reevaluate previously viewed information and concluded that:
"FDA, on its own initiative, is proposing to reclassify this preamendments Class III device into Class II when the device is intended to treat severe Major Depressive Episode associated with Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder in patients 18 years of age and older who are treatment-resistant or who require a rapid response due to the severity of their psychiatric or medical condition" (p. 81226).
It was agreed that the above statements, in combination with the following statement by the FDA ought to be enough for an injunction:
"Section 513(e)(1) of the FD&C Act sets forth the process for issuing a final order for reclassifying a device. Specifically, prior to the issuance of a final order reclassifying a device,the following must occur: (1) Publication of a proposed order in the Federal Register; (2) a meeting of a device classification panel described in section 513(b) of the FD&C Act; and (3) consideration of comments to a public docket. FDA has held a meeting of a device classification panel described in section 513(b) of the FD&C Act with respect to ECT devices, and therefore, has met this requirement under section 515(b)(1) of the FD&C Act" (p. 81225).
However, not one person who was on the panel in 2011vii is on the panel now in 2015viii. Therefore, the whole idea that because they held a meeting in 2011 they do not need to hold a meeting in 2015 is ludicrous, since the panel that would make this decision is not the panel who made the recommendation to not down-classify the device in 2011 after the meeting.
Therefore, it was agreed upon the call that we probably can take some legal actions: there should be an injunction against the way the FDA is going about this, not holding a meeting, and attempting to lower the shock device to a class II device, in general. We should find lawyers willing to take it to court.
The FDA has the audacity to suggest putting a label on the shock device with the following warnings mitigates the risks of shock treatment. The warnings include:
Adverse reaction to anesthetic agents/neuromuscular blocking agents
Adverse skin reactions
Cardiovascular complications
Cognition and memory impairment
Dental/oral trauma
Device malfunction
Manic symptoms
Physical trauma
Prolonged or tardive seizures
Pulmonary complications
Skin burns
Worsening of psychiatric symptoms" (FDA, 2015, p. 81227).
The person having shock will not see the warnings. It is ridiculous to think that this information will get to someone. It is offensive that the FDA would do this in the name of protecting people from the many known body-damaging, brain-damaging, and spirit-damaging risks of the shock device. Someone lying on a shock table is not going to see the shock device, let alone be given the time to read its label.
The FDA down grading the shock device from a Class III device to a Class II device is such a huge problem, because in part, people trust doctors. If the shock device is lowered to a Class II device—if people are told by a doctor that the shock device is safe and effective, people will give even more trust to a doctor—especially if they are already in a place where they are desperate for a solution.
We need to have action to stop the FDA from being able to make this drastic move. The public needs to be aware that the FDA is in bed with the shock device manufacturers.
It is important to remember that we are living in a time where the FDA is not trusted in general, by the public. It is the spirit of the times—the general public feels sold out by the government and we ought to be using the FDA's attempt to downclassify the shock device as an example of them selling out the public.
Shock treatment is an emotional and unpleasant subject for most people—they would rather avoid talking about it. Or, if it is reported that shock "saved" someone's life – people back off and are not as comfortable being vocal. We need to remind the public of all the people who are dead, or so severely damaged or afraid that they cannot speak out. We need to get the public to be interested in this—if not because if the FDA is doing this – what else are they doing? We need to reach the public by affirming that yes, this may not ever affect you – but if the FDA is doing this, what else is the FDA doing with this new administrative directive option, that is affecting you?
We are actively seeking allies outside of our own circles. This includes stores like "Natural Foods", and other movements such as the health freedoms movement as an example. Those involved with the health freedoms movement–such as those diagnosed with cancer who can refuse medical treatment are horrified to hear that there are medical dictates for treatment over objection in psychiatry, because they want to prevent it from ever getting to the realm of cancer treatment. Also we should be reaching out to people involved in alternative health movements in general.
One strategy for showing the public the real results of shock treatment is to create a national campaign of people who were injured by shock who had consented, only to learn that there was not adequate informed consent actually given. And additionally, to turn this into a legal issue, as every state has laws regarding adequate informed consent.
The public ought to realize that medical places are going to have to treat everyone under the Affordable Care Act (although some remain more equal than others). Nonetheless, shock is going to be used as both a cheap alternative to the drugs—and something that the doctors can perform themselves. Something that causes quick damage. Irreparable damage.
There are other movements—such as the Self Advocacy Movement that is successfully calling public attention and outrage to other uses of electricity by psychiatry– such as the electric skin shocks used at the Judge Rottenberg Center. Skin shocks, shock treatment, restraints, seclusion, and forced drugging all can meet the requirements for torture or ill treatment under the United Nations Convention Against Torture. These are other groups we ought to be working with in trying to bring public attention to what the FDA is doing, in terms of its plans of downgrading the shock device.
While shock treatment has been referred to as differing names – we really ought to be calling it shock treatment because that is what the public knows it as. Electroshock, Electroconvulsive Treatment (ECT)—these names were all part of a well-planned public relations ploy of psychiatry to make shock treatment sound more acceptable to the public. Shock treatment is torture and it ought not be allowed to be thought of as a medical treatment, and certainly not a therapy.
Responding to the FDA, gaining public attention, seeking an injunction – these are all immediate strategies to combat the FDA potentially downgrading the shock device. It is also important to get some long-term studies. Longitudinal, or retrospective studies to show exactly what kind of damage shock treatment does to people. Shock treatment diminishes life. It does not help. People do not come back, not because shock treatment is a success, but rather they do not come back because they die. The kind of dementia that happens at the end – this is the real kind of information doctors should have for themselves – and that they have to give to people potentially being sold this fraud. One possible retrospective study could be to track atypical dementia and see how often people diagnosed with atypical dementia also had been subjected to shock treatment.
There remains a large question about why is there no other meeting that is going to be held by the FDA, and why the January 27-28, 2011 meeting is adequate to meet the requirement? None of the panel members who were at the FDA meeting in 2011 (who voted to keep the shock device a Class III device) are currently on the panel.
There is a cautionary here about the use of the shock device on children. Even though the proposed rule specifies adults 18 years and older, we need to remind the public that young children and developing fetuses are getting shock treatment. It is legal in nearly all states to subject a minor to shock treatment. Pregnant women are given shock treatment as a first line treatment, especially if they are on the drugs. Getting other groups involved – including groups like the Children's Defense Fund – they should be set up to deal with exactly these kinds of issues, and are in a position to inform the public.
We ought to have our eye on the larger agenda . The Brain Initiative is an example of this. FDA in part is taking on this downclassification because of the larger agenda – – the Office of Technology – NIMH – all kinds of federal government agencies are involved. The Brain Initiative started in 2013. The FDA is responding to policy and we need to pay attention to policy at the federal level. The Brain Initiative is going to need human guinea pigs. The public needs to be informed of the dangers of shock treatment. Instead of stopping this product from availability on the market as a medical device – the government has invested $400 million in funding. There are larger industry incentives (NAMI etc). People need to be aware that they're in danger. The Brain Initiative Research Agenda is leading toward a push for Genetics Registry. http://braininitiative.nih.gov/
A national research-based campaign to illustrate that shock treatment is not therapeutic – it's treatment. This "treatment", through the psychiatric establishment wrecks families, relationships, adults and children's lives.
There ought to be a way to get the public to understand the frustration that people who are shock survivors and their allies feel. People have been writing letters for 40 years. There are people who have been trying to get publics attention for over 40 years and there's a lot of people that don't know electroconvulsive treatment – shock treatment – ECT – people don't know shock treatment is being done over objection, without informed consent. They don't know shock treatment is done even on children. People have to know this is happening. When you look at other groups who are trying to get public attention and the extremes to which they must go to get even 20 seconds of coverage. We have to act. We need nonviolent direct actions to bring public attention to what's being done in the psychiatric empire, the medical establishment, the overlords.
There are also other natural allies such as the neurologists and others who voted to downgrade not to downclass the shock device in 2011. Where are they? How can they be reached? What do they think about this move by the FDA to downclass the shock device as they were the people who voted no when the FDA asked for their recommendation?
It was agreed that we absolutely need a national campaign appealing to public, alternative health services and any psychologists/psychiatrists/neurologists/anesthesiologists/etc. who agree with us. Even though it is easy to demonize all people while demonizing psychiatry, we want anyone who agrees with us that the shock device should not be allowed to be downgraded to a class II device to join us in stopping it. There was agreement that the national campaign ought to include mandates for medical people to have some kind of major training in the risks of shock treatment developed by shock survivors and their allies.
Concerning nonviolent, direct actions, the Mental Patients Liberation Alliance will be holding a week of activities in Albany New York the week of July 14, 2016 for the 36th Annual Bastille Day Vigil and Demonstration to Celebrate the Human Spirit and Speak Out Against Psychiatric Oppression. This will take place the week of July 10 – 16. Contact The Alliance at (800) 654-7227 for more information, to support the effort, and get involved in organizing.
When you send your letters to the FDA also send your letter to the FDA to your legislators – Senators, Congressman, etc. When you send the letter, send it certified and request for return confirmation .
People need to be aware that shock causes brain damage. Surviving brain damage can be traumatic to people. Post traumatic stress leads to depression. This is the business model of psychiatry – Munchhausen by Proxy. Psychiatry is creating its own business on our backs.
We should also look at work being done on Traumatic Brain Injury research with veterans.
Shock is torture and ill treatment
Visual representations suggested include making memes.
For a demonstration, psychiatry has long been compared to the inquisition. To grab public attention – a life-size crucifix – with a woman's body hung on it – an elderly woman's body, with syringes coming out of arms, and electrical device attached to head.
We should see about renting billboards –and having information about the hazards of shock on them. Shock Treatment always causes brain damage.
Creating shows and posting them on Youtube will also be used as a way to communicate with the public.
On the next call we will continue to discuss strategies and actions.
January 20, 2016 @ 2 PM Eastern, 1 PM Central, Noon Mountain, and 11 AM Pacific

The environment is safe from fracking, a science report admits.
by Andrew Follett,
An eight-year study by Colorado Parks & Wildlife researcher Dr. Chuck Anderson found that fracking did not impact the survival or reproduction rates of the local mule deer population, but could potentially have minor impacts on their behavior. The same study found that the industry had significantly reduced its impact on the deer in recent years.
The new findings completely debunks claims by anti-fracking activists who have said for years that fracking negatively impacts western Colorado's wildlife.
Colorado has enormous experience with fracking and environmental studies. A bit more warming would be in order though. This may get serious, as scientists warn of cooling ahead. […]
Meanwhile, India increases coal production on a massive basis, more than double by 2020!
I bet they wish they have a bit more warming in Colorado, things are starting to look grim and cold soon enough.

What you've learned in this guide is one framework for finding, evaluating, validating and sourcing a product. However, there's always more than one way to do something, and that's no different when it comes to building an ecommerce business. With this in mind, we asked nine of the top ecommerce experts to share their best advice and tips on finding a product to sell online.
Noah Kagan
"The #1 strategy for product validation is to do pre-sales. Email people telling them what you are going to make and when it'll be delivered by. Ask for 5 orders at a specific price and see if people will buy. This will help you figure out if people want what you are making and if they don't you can ask them what they'd pay for instead. Money is a truth serum."
- Noah Kagan of SumoMe
Billy Murphy
"Is your product better than anything else on the market for the unique value it offers? If not, why are you wanting to sell it? It doesn't have to be #1 overall in the market, but it should be #1 for whatever need around the product you're trying to solve. There is little point in launching a product that offers the same value as other people already do, unless you specifically fill a marketing gap in the space. If you're offering the same thing as other people already do, profits will likely be temporary, and capped. If you offer something that solves a specific need better than anyone else, profits are more likely to be long term, and more importantly, uncapped."
- Billy Murphy of ForeverJobless
Sean Ogle
"One of my favorite strategies for coming up with product ideas is to take what I call a problem walk. If I'm stuck for ideas on anything, I'll go walk around my hometown (or whatever city I'm in) and look for any problems or things that could be done better. I take a note, and try to have 25 before I go home.
This allows me to start thinking in the mindset of helping others and finding things that need to be fixed that I could potentially provide a solution for. It's worked surprisingly well both for potential products as well as content."
- Sean Ogle of Location 180
Andreea Ayers
"When you are thinking about the kind of product you want to launch, think about your own life and answer some of the following questions: What are some products that you WISH you had? What type of product would make YOUR life better? Is there an existing product that you can tweak to make it better or more useful? And would others see the value in it, too?
When you are ready to test, it's important to get feedback to validate your idea. It might be tempting to ask friends and family for their opinion, but that's not the right way to go because friends and family will either totally support you and go along with ANY idea that you might have, or they might not support you as well. The best way to go about validating your product idea is to reach out to your IDEAL customer, ask them if they would actually buy it and then ask them specific questions about your products."
- Andreea Ayers of Launch Grow Joy
Andrew Youderian
"When it comes to finding a successful niche, the issue isn't product sourcing. Between drop shipping and Alibaba.com, many products can be easily found and purchase. Instead, you need to have a convincing answer for this question: why would people buy from you over someone else?
This question is easiest to answer when you've made your own unique, proprietary product that fills a specific need. And while you can still succeed reselling products made by others, it takes more work and skill. With Amazon and the legions of other trusted retailers likely selling the same thing, you really have to set yourself apart.
If you try to compete on price or selection, you'll likely find those are difficult ways to differentiate. The answer will vary for each niche you're in, but you should be able to convincingly answer this difficult and important question before moving forward."
- Andrew Youderian of EcommerceFuel
Steve Chou
"My favorite place to find product ideas is to use a service called Terapeak. Terapeak scrapes all of the EBay listings and tells you what products are hot and what products are not. It also ties into the Amazon product listings so you can get an idea of what is selling there as well. In many cases, you can find a top selling product, iterate and make improvements and then sell it under your own brand."
- Steve Chou of My Wife Quit Her Job
Drew Sanocki
"My favorite way to evaluate a product idea is by setting up a quick landing page featuring my proposed product using a cheap Wordpress theme or a service like Leadpages or Instapage. Then I spend a few hundred bucks on AdWords driving traffic to my landing pages to see what sticks. After about a week of testing, I can often figure out things like 1) what offer sells, at 2) what price point and 3) what is the resulting cost per acquisition. This knowledge is invaluable -- if you know that you can drive traffic where the cost per acquisition is lower than the margin on a purchase, you have discovered product market fit and can start to scale that business up."
- Drew Sanocki of DrewSanocki.com
Leighton Taylor
"One strategy I'm excited about right now is using drop shipping as a way to enter a market and validate it. This allows me to try selling a product with very little risk and low upfront cost, even if my profits are minimal at first. By drop shipping first, I can learn about the niche, figure out what's selling, and once revenue is being generated begin purchasing inventory in bulk for better margins. This also allows me to offer a wider variety of products, since I can purchase less expensive items in bulk while continuing to drop ship the bigger items that would be difficult to purchase and warehouse."

Korean cooking forums
Home › Forums › Introduce yourself › Hello Everyone!
Maangchi suggested I join the forum so here I am! I am a caucasian living on the east coast, currently NC, but am from MD. All my life I have been attracted to Asian culture, food and language, but I also took ancient Greek and Spanish in school. Last year I received my degree in Culinary Technology and I cook for a living. Currently I am writing a vegan cookbook as I follow a strict vegan diet. But one of the greatest things about Asian food is that it is so easy to adapt and not lose any flavor! It will be fun to "veganize" some of Maangchi's recipes so that I can try everything as Korean food is one that I am least familiar with. All the hard work that Maangchi has done is to be applauded – she is so warm and shares her knowledge with everyone as if they are family. She has inspired me to make my own blog and videos and to be brave and show myself on camera! I look forward to talking with many of you to share knowledge and experiences and please do not hesitate to introduce yourself!
You sound so interesting! I too want to follow more of a vegan raw foods diet and I have made alot of Korean salads and kim chi without the fish sauce, shrimp/anchovies. It tastes fresh and good! I love that about some many Asian cultures. They really use what grow on the earth to eat. Healhy and delicious!

May was such an exciting month for our little family. We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary.
And we made an extra special announcement featuring Morgan for our Baby Boy coming in November.
However with every bit of good news comes some bad news. Luckily my bad news is not anything that is life changing or terrible. It is rather silly in fact now that I can look back at it in retrospect.
10 years ago Austin let me design my wedding ring. It was super special to me because I love symmetry and I always thought the engagement ring with a one band look was unbalanced. I decided to go against the norm and opted for two bands one on either side of my engagement ring. To describe my ring you would say it is two diamond eternity bands that sandwich a third eternity band with a center stone surrounded by a halo containing diamonds. I absolutely love love love my ring. It's perfect. You might be asking yourself right about now why is Julia describing her wedding ring to us?
Well you see when I got pregnant with Morgan and every single night for 8 years prior to that I removed my ring every single night. It was annoying to sleep with it, mostly because I would either scratch myself or Austin in the middle of the night. That sucker can be sharp! But for some reason after giving birth once it fit again I put it back on and haven't taken it off ever since. Therein lies the rub! I'm almost 5 months pregnant, two weeks ago I woke up from a tossy turney sleep to realize my ring finger was super swollen. I tried my go to method of cold water and soap to remove my ring but it wouldn't budge.
I nonchalantly let Austin know that I think my ring was stuck. He became way more worried than I was. He started to Google ways to remove a ring from a swollen finger. In today's post I am going to list all the ways that we tried to remove my ring before I finally had to call and make an appointment with our jeweler to have it cut off. My precious lovely ring.
Here is what we tried:
- Ice bath for my finger to reduce the swelling coupled with liquid soap – FAIL!
- Ice bath for my finger coupled with lubricant – FAIL!
- Preparation H for my finger to reduce the swelling coupled with the dental floss compression wrap trick – FAIL!
- Preparation H coupled with raising it above my head for 30 minutes and large amounts of lotion – FAIL!
- Ribbon wrapped around my finger to compress it then removing it slowly starting at the knuckle slowly sliding the ring down my finger – FAIL!
- Zip ties slid under the ring all the way around allowing for a smooth surface for the ring to slide down – FAIL!
- Eating salt free foods for a few days to reduce the swelling – FAIL!
- Drinking tons of water to re-hydrate in case it was pregnancy edema – FAIL!
- Elastic compression wrap around my finger starting at the tip moving to the knuckle then slowing unraveling it sliding the ring down my finger – FAIL!
- Soaking my finger in Windex to shrink my finger thus removing the ring – FAIL!
None of the You Tube techniques worked, Google did not help us on this one. Note about the You Tube videos about how to remove a stuck ring. Most of the videos feature people that don't have a swollen finger! It was very frustrating. Of course their rings were coming off! Instead all of the aforementioned techniques left my finger cut, irritated and more swollen then ever. It was time now to make that dreaded call.
Luckily my finger wasn't so swollen that it was cutting off my circulation so it wasn't a medical emergency. Last Tuesday I finally got the courage to call our jeweler to check on the process of cutting not one but three rings off my hand. Because my rings are eternity bands a few stones would have to be removed prior to the ring being cut. It was a super painful and sad call, but the call ended with my making an appointment for the coming Saturday to go through with the ring cutting process. A very costly process indeed. My jeweler was kind though he quoted the cutting as free. The repair however would cost a few thousand dollars for all three.
By Thursday night my anxiety set in and I was very sad about the upcoming appointment so after doing dishes one night I thought I would give the technique that my jeweler recommended one last try. Even though it was one of the techniques that failed me before. My finger was a nice prune due to the scrubbing of the dishes. I sprayed my finger quite liberally with off brand Windex, and low and behold my ring started to budge. Not by much but more than it had before. I called Austin over, continued to dowse my finger with Glass Cleaner and with many attempted tugs and tons of pain one of my three rings was off! Success.
My appointment still loomed however because I still needed to remove two rings. My finger was now more swollen then ever due to the latest trauma. The very next day my middle ring came off at work with a ton of lotion and force and the freezing like conditions of sitting under an AC for 8 straight hours. So now I sit here writing this with one last ring remaining. I decided to skip my jeweler appointment to let my finger heal and try try again!
The moral of this long story is that if you are pregnant or really for any reason please continue to remove your ring each and every night if that is your custom. I wish I never stopped removing mine. But what is life without a few minor panics! My focus now is on removing the last ring and preparing for my new bundle of joy.
If you have a similar story or a different technique to remove stuck rings, I would love to hear it. I still need to get this last one off before I get more pregnant.
Thanks for reading!!!

Continuing efforts to increase the sustainability of the campus, Olivet Nazarene University recently implemented a new initiative to improve the efficiency of the campus laundry service provided for students in dormitories and apartments. This initiative resulted in recognition by the Lighten the LoadTM program, acknowledging Olivet's sustainability efforts in the laundry facilities on campus.
In mid-2012, when Olivet's laundry service contract with Mac-Gray Campus Solutions expired, Olivet reviewed bids from other laundry service providers. The decision to renegotiate the laundry contract with Mac-Gray was partly due to the focus on sustainability.
"Sustainability is important to Olivet's leadership, and it is important to our students," said Jana Hacker, director of conference services. "Therefore, we wanted our laundry contract to reflect this."
"Since the original contract, there had been a lot of new technology and improved methods," said Sally Benson, regional sales manager for Mac-Gray. During the renegotiation, Sally worked with Jana to improve the efficiency of the laundry rooms with a focus on helping the environment and reducing the University's carbon footprint.
The renegotiated ten-year contract includes: new high-efficiency, single-load washing machines, which reduce water usage; and purchasing carbon credits to offset about 140 tons of carbon emissions that represent all the estimated emissions throughout the life of the contract.
The new Maytag washers installed in Olivet's dormitories and apartment complexes are Energy Star® certified and meet Consortium for Energy Efficiency Tier III requirements. "They are known to be about 30 percent more efficient than the Department of Energy's standards [Energy Star rating]," said Michael Calderaro, vice president of national sales for Mac-Gray.
Mac-Gray's Lighten the LoadTM initiative began in 2008 and now consists of 47 participating colleges, universities and student housing residences, with only three of those — including Olivet — in Illinois. Through this program, more than 88 million pounds of carbon have been offset thanks to its partnership with carbonfund.org, which invests in renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects.
Latest Daily Southtown
As students push to improve the energy efficiency of their university, Mac-Gray provides sustainability solutions for the laundry rooms. "We are proud and pleased to be partners with Olivet," said Michael. "Students are more aware of sustainability. Mac-Gray helps to increase sustainability efforts by creating a vendor-institution-student relationship."
"It's exciting to see the range of green initiatives that are being discussed, and incorporated into the ONU campus," said Dr. Randy Johnson, professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and member of Olivet's green initiative task force. "This is a good example. Projects like this go a long way to model our biblical mandate to students and the greater community to be good stewards of God's creation."
Founded in 1927, Mac-Gray Corporation derives its revenue principally through the contracting of debit-card and coin-operated laundry facilities in multi-unit housing facilities such as apartment buildings, college and university residence halls, condominiums and public housing complexes. Mac-Gray manages laundry rooms located in 43 states and the District of Columbia. Mac-Gray also sells and services commercial laundry equipment to retail laundromats and other customers through its product sales division.
Olivet Nazarene University is an accredited Christian, liberal arts university offering more than 100 areas of undergraduate and graduate study, including the Doctor of Education in ethical leadership. Olivet has one main campus in Bourbonnais, Ill. — just 50 miles south of Chicago; three additional sites: Rolling Meadows and Oak Brook, Ill., and Hong Kong; and more than 100 School of Graduate and Continuing Studies learning locations throughout Chicagoland and the Midwest. From Oxford to Tokyo, hundreds of Olivet students also experience the global classroom each year, whether through study abroad opportunities or worldwide mission trips.

Parallel(religion, spiritualism, and occult)
The orbits of most of the planets in the solar system lie in approximately the same geometric plane, which is why an astrological chart using only a two-dimensional representation rather than one with three dimensions is drawn. There is, nevertheless, a variation in the tilt or angle of these orbits, so at any given time most of the planets are either north or south of the celestial equator (the plane described by projecting Earth's equator against the background of the stars). This variation is measured in degrees of declination. Two planets are parallel when they are on the same side of the celestial equator and have the same degree of declination. Planets with the same declination are said to have a relationship similar to a conjunction.

This month-long program is aimed at building greater insurance awareness among two-wheeler owners. The festival also features special insurance renewal offers with premiums starting at as low as Rs. 999 for an annual policy.
Over 70% of two wheelers on the road are uninsured. To understand the reasons, ETInsure spoke to over 100 two-wheeler owners who pin their laxity on renewing their policy to two key problems - a) users don't know where to renew their insurance from and b) users find the insurance buying process confusing.
ETInsure solves these problems by using technology. The website has a clean interface, is optimized for mobile phones and is integrated to extract the user's vehicle information simply on the basis of the registration number, hugely reducing form-filling efforts & errors for its users.
In addition to this, ETInsure has completely got rid of all paperwork and inspection requirements. Now, users can take a quote, buy a policy and receive the policy softcopy on their email - all within 5 minutes.
Also Read: Edmunds: Many car buyers make wrong turn on financing
To reach a larger base of consumers, ETInsure has also introduced a unique "Quote-on-SMS" service using which consumers can receive a premium quote on SMS by simply SMS their registration number to 9223008650.
The return SMS has a short link which can be accessed over the internet and opens an optimized fast-loading webpage with quotes from 6-7 insurance partners.
According to the Road Accidents in India 2015 report, 36,803 people died and 1,35,343 were injured in accidents involving two-wheelers. It comes as no surprise that two-wheelers are identified as the most vulnerable road users.
The law has tried to keep up with the growth in two-wheelers with the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 requiring compulsory insurance cover for all vehicles in the country and not having this can result in a fine of ₹1,000 or 3 months imprisonment or both.
In fact, the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill proposes doubling this penalty to ₹2,000.

Shankar Nath, who heads ETInsure.com said "Keeping in mind the complexities of applying and getting insurance, ETInsure.com aims to create a sense of responsibility and make getting any vehicle insurances simpler and more convenient than ever before.
The Great Indian Insurance Festival is a step in that direction & we are encouraged to receive the support from the insurer partners to create awareness & increase insurance penetration in the country"

Unshakeable (Audio) Book
It's second half of the 2017 and we already have another successful Self-Help and Finance Bestseller of 2017 – the book and audiobook Unshakeable is already breaking the records in sales and will definitely be as much successful as the previous 680-page bible, Money: Master the Game – 7 Simple Steps to Achieve Financial Freedom, if not even more. The Money Master the Game sold out an amazing number of over 2 million copies, which is pretty amazing.
Unshakeable has been written by the top Business and Performance coach Tony Robbins, and the #1 financial advisor in the United States, voted consecutively 3 years by Barrons Financial Magazine Peter Mallouk. So it kind of makes sense and is very exciting that the two smartest financial business brains get together and create the perfect possible follow-up plan to overcome any economy crisis or crash of financial markets etc. You have to become UNSHAKEABLE!
In the book or audiobook, Tony and Peter break down the strategy and steps, as well as the second most important part that so many people underestimate, the psychology mindset of an Entrepreneur, Businessman, Investor, or whatever you want to be in order to achieve the financial independence and freedom with peace in mind. As they say, having a lot of money but living the unhappy life is the ultimate failure, not the success. The money itself is not the success, the real success comes from enjoyment, fulfillment. When you are happy, then you are really wealthy in life.
And again Tony Robbins is giving all the money 100% profit from the book to his Feeding America foundation, to feed 50 000 000 people this year, which is very impressive! So not just that you get the best information on how to become financially independent via different financial markets, but by purchasing the book you are also supporting one of the biggest philanthropic projects on the planet.
Read the short Unshakeable Review
Watch the 3 hours version of Unshakeable audiobook below, where Tony and Peter break down the content of the book, what to expect to find and learn. Enjoy!
