When Avery Fisher Prize-winner Gil Shaham performed with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony last season, he proved himself "an exuberantly commanding soloist" who succeeded in kindling "hot fire" (Los Angeles Times). Small wonder then, that the American master violinist is the only soloist chosen to accompany MTT and the orchestra on their upcoming 20th-anniversary national tour. Together they will present Prokofiev's Second Violin Concerto – one of those featured in Shaham's celebrated long-term exploration of the "Violin Concertos of the 1930s" – at New York's Carnegie Hall (Nov 20), marking the violinist's only appearance at the venue this season, as well as at Kansas City's Kauffman Center, Boston's Symphony Hall, Cleveland's Severance Hall, Miami's Arsht Center, and the university campus of Ann Arbor (Nov 12–22).

Gil Shaham launches innovative solo Bach project and more in 2014-15
Following his "expressive and virtuosic accounts of Camille Saint-Saëns' "Havanaise" and Pablo de Sarasate's "Carmen Fantasy" (Seattle Times) at the Seattle Symphony's Parisian-themed opening-night gala, Gil Shaham tours his original interpretations of Bach's complete Sonatas and Partitas for Unaccompanied Violin to Chicago's Symphony Center, L.A.'s Disney Hall, and other leading venues, in a special multimedia collaboration with photographer David Michalek in anticipation of Shaham's next release on his own Canary Classics label. Marking the most recent in a succession of major new commissions written expressly for him, he gives the world premiere performances of Fragile Light, a new concerto by David Bruce, with the San Diego Symphony in December. He rejoins Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony for Mozart's "Turkish" concerto, and plays Prokofiev's Second on the orchestra's 20th-anniversary tour at key venues including Carnegie Hall. The Prokofiev is one of the works showcased in Shaham's long-term exploration of "Violin Concertos of the 1930s," now entering its sixth season, which takes him back to the Philadelphia Orchestra for Berg, and to both the Berlin Radio Symphony and the London Symphony Orchestra for Britten. Equally celebrated for his interpretations of the great earlier cornerstones of the violin concerto literature, his upcoming orchestral highlights include Mendelssohn in Tokyo, Canada, and Luxembourg, Brahms in Colorado, and a pair of Bach concertos with the Dallas Symphony. Whether in new commissions, creative programming, or canonical masterworks, Shaham – a Musical America "Instrumentalist of the Year" – remains "one of today's preeminent violinists" (New York Times).

Gil Shaham plays Prokofiev with the San Francisco Symphony & Michael Tilson Thomas
Next week, Gil Shaham travels to the City by the Bay to play Gil Shaham Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2 with frequent collaborator Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony (June 12-15). It was with Tilson Thomas last June that Gil proved himself "an exuberantly commanding soloist," who kindled "hot fire" (Los Angeles Times) in Stravinsky's concerto, and when Tilson Thomas led his performance of Prokofiev's Second with the New World Symphony, the South Florida Classical Review reported, "Shaham easily met the concerto's virtuosic demands in a performance that banished literal routine in favor of interpretive risk.… Shaham's light touch and flowing pulse captured the magic of one of Prokofiev's most inspired creations and he brought plenty of sinew and fire to the more aggressive central episode."

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is only a week away from launch with reports of a 20MP camera sensor being used on the smartphone. And now we're hearing of the company's intentions to possibly include a new gen LED flash to accompany the camera sensor. A total of five new LED flash units were announced by Samsung earlier today in a press statement. These LED flash units come with a reflective technology inside which allows for it to cover more area in a confined environment.
A company statement read – "Samsung's new reflector-integrated flash LEDs are designed to enable a great deal of flexibility by providing a wide FOV [field of view] within a small space through the integration of a light source, a lead frame, and a reflector with its own optics and diffusion features."
Samsung indirectly hinted that this smartphone will be used on the Galaxy S5 by mentioning that it will be showcased at next week's MWC event in Barcelona. So in addition to a 16 or 20MP camera sensor that the next Samsung flagship is believed to sport, we can also add this new gen LED flash to the list.

How to Get Rid of a Nerve Pinch in Your Neck Quickly
Explore this Article Dealing With a Pinched Nerve at Home Seeking Medical Help Using Alternative Therapies Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References
There are 13 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
The term "pinched nerve" is commonly used to describe intense, sharp pain either in the neck or other parts of the spine. However, in reality, spinal nerves rarely get physically pinched. More commonly, they get chemically irritated, impinged or slightly stretched within the body, which typically produces pain described as burning, electric, tingling and/or shooting in nature. What most people describe as a pinched nerve is usually a jammed, irritated or inflamed spinal facet joint, which can be intensely painful and severely restrict movement, but is generally not considered a serious medical condition. There are many potential methods of getting rid of a pinched nerve in your neck, including certain home care techniques and treatments from health professionals.
Part 1
Dealing With a Pinched Nerve at Home
1Wait and be patient. Pinched nerves in the cervical spine (sometimes also called a kinked neck) usually occur suddenly and are related to awkward neck movements or trauma such as a whiplash-type injury.[1] If caused by an unusual movement, the neck pain may quickly disappear on its own, without any treatment whatsoever. As such, be patient for a few hours to a few days and hope for the best.
- The risk of neck injury is greater if the muscles are chilled and tight, so don't move your neck too vigorously until it warms up via normal blood flow or by covering it up with a scarf or turtleneck if the ambient temperature is cool.
- Continuing with normal neck movements, despite the pain, may reverse a pinched nerve naturally.
2Alter your work or exercise routine. If your neck problem is caused by conditions at your job, then talk to your boss about switching to a different activity or altering your work station so your neck doesn't suffer more abuse. Blue collar jobs such as welding and construction have relatively high incidence of neck pain, but so can office jobs if the neck is constantly in a twisted or flexed position. If the neck pain is exercise related, then you may be working out too aggressively or with bad form — consult with a personal trainer.
- Complete inactivity (such as bed rest) is not recommended for neck pain — muscles and joints need to move and get ample blood supply in order to heal.[2]
- Practice better posture at work and at home. Make sure your computer monitor is at eye level, which will help prevent neck strain / sprain.
- Examine your sleeping conditions. Pillows that are too thick may contribute to neck issues. Avoid sleeping on your stomach as it can cause the head and neck to twist in aggravating ways.
3Take over-the-counter medications. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin can be short-term solutions to help you deal with pain or inflammation in your neck.[3] Keep in mind that these medications can be hard on your stomach, kidneys and liver, so it's best not to use them for more than two weeks at a stretch. Never take more than the suggested dosage.
- Dosage for adults is usually 200-400 mg, by mouth, every four to six hours.
- Alternatively, you can try over-the-counter analgesics such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or muscle relaxants (such as cyclobenzaprine) for your neck pain, but never take them concurrently with NSAIDs.
- Be careful not to take any medications on an empty stomach, as they can irritate the lining of your stomach and increase the risk of ulcers.
4Apply cold therapy. The application of ice is an effective treatment for essentially all minor musculoskeletal injuries, including neck pain.[4] Cold therapy should be applied to the most tender part of your neck in order to reduce the swelling and pain. Ice should be applied for 20 minutes every two to three hours for a couple of days, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside.
- Compressing the ice against your neck with a wrap-around elastic support will also help control the inflammation.
- Always wrap ice or frozen gel packs in a thin towel in order to prevent frostbite on your skin.
5Consider an Epsom salt bath. Soaking your upper back and neck in a warm Epsom salt bath can significantly reduce pain and swelling, especially if the pain is caused by muscle strain.[5] The magnesium in the salt helps muscles relax. Don't make your bath too hot (to prevent scalding) and don't soak in the bath for much more than 30 minutes because the salty water will pull fluid from your body and potentially dehydrate you.
- If swelling is a particular problem in your neck, then follow-up the warm salt bath with cold therapy until your neck feels numb (about 15 minutes or so).
6Try gently stretching your neck. Stretching your neck might reverse your neck condition (either take pressure off the nerve or unjam the cervical facet joint), especially if you address the problem during its early stages.[6] Use slow, steady movements and take deep breaths during your stretches. In general, hold stretches for about 30 seconds and repeat three to five times daily.
- While standing and looking straight ahead, slowly laterally flex your neck, bringing your ear as close to your shoulder as possible. After a few seconds of rest, then stretch the other side.
- Stretching directly after a warm shower or the application of moist heat is recommended because your neck muscles will be more pliable.
Part 2
Seeking Medical Help
1See a medical specialist. Medical specialists such as an orthopedist, neurologist or rheumatologist may be needed to rule out the most serious causes of your neck pain, such as herniated disc, infection (osteomyelitis), osteoporosis, spinal fracture, rheumatoid arthritis or cancer.[7] These conditions are not common causes of neck pain, but if home care and conservative therapies are not effective, then more serious problems need to be considered.
- X-rays, bone scans, MRI, CT scan and nerve conductance studies are modalities that specialists may use to help diagnose your neck pain.[8]
- Your doctor may also send you for a blood test to rule out rheumatoid arthritis or a spinal infection such as meningitis.
2Consider a facet joint injection. Your neck pain may be caused by chronic joint inflammation. A facet joint injection involves real-time fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance of a needle through the neck muscles and into the inflamed or irritated spinal joint, followed by a release of an anesthetic and corticosteroid mixture, which quickly relieves both pain and inflammation at the site. Facet joint injections take 20 – 30 minutes to do and the results can last from a few weeks to a few months.[9]
- Facet joint injections are limited to three within a six-month time frame.
- The pain relief benefits from facet joint injections typically begin on the second or third day post treatment. Until that time frame, your neck pain may get a little worse.
- Potential complications of facet joint injections include infection, bleeding, local muscle atrophy and nerve irritation / damage.
3Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about traction. Traction is a technique to open the spaces between your vertebrae. Traction can come in many forms, from a therapist using his hands to manually traction your neck, to a traction table. There are also homemade traction devices. Always remember to traction the neck slowly. If there is any pain or numbness radiating into the arms, stop right away and see a doctor. Before using a home made traction device, it's best to seek the advice of your physician, chiropractor, or physical therapist so he can help you pick the right one.
4Consider surgery. Surgery for neck pain is the last resort and should only be considered after all other conservative therapies are proven ineffective and if the cause warrants such an invasive procedure. Reasons for neck surgery may include to repair or stabilize a fracture (from trauma or osteoporosis), to remove a tumor, or repair a herniated disc.[10] If the nerves in your neck are truly involved, then you should also notice shooting pains, numbness and/or muscle weakness or wasting in your arms and/or hands.
- Spinal surgery may involve the use of metal rods, pins or other devices for structural support.
- Repairing a herniated disc often involves fusing two or more bones (vertebrae) together, which usually reduces range of motion.
- Possible complications from back surgery include local infection, allergic reaction to anesthesia, nerve damage, paralysis and chronic swelling / pain.
Part 3
Using Alternative Therapies
1Get a neck massage. A strained muscle occurs when individual muscle fibers are taken beyond their tensile limits and subsequently tear, which leads to pain, inflammation and some degree of guarding (muscle spasm in attempts to prevent further damage). As such, what you're calling a "pinched nerve" might actually be a strained neck muscle. A deep tissue massage is helpful for mild-to-moderate strains because it reduces muscle spasm, combats inflammation and promotes relaxation.[11] Start with a 30 minute massage, focusing on your neck and upper back areas. Allow the therapist to go as deep as you can tolerate without wincing.
- Always drink lots of water immediately following a massage in order to flush out inflammatory by-products, lactic acid and toxins from your body. Failure to do so might cause a headache or mild nausea.
- As an alternative to professional massage therapy, use a tennis ball or vibratory device on your neck muscles — or better yet, ask a friend to do it. Roll the ball slowly around the neck tenderness for 10-15 minutes a few times daily until the pain subsides.
2See a chiropractor or osteopath. Chiropractors and osteopaths are spinal specialists that focus on establishing normal motion and function of the small spinal joints that connect the vertebrae, called facet joints. Manual joint manipulation, also called an adjustment, can be used to unjam or reposition cervical facet joints that are slightly misaligned, which triggers inflammation and sharp pain, particularly with movement. Traction of your neck may also help relieve your pain.
- Although a single spinal adjustment can sometimes completely relieve your pinched nerve, more than likely it will take 3-5 treatments to notice significant results.
- Chiropractors and osteopaths also use a variety of therapies tailored more towards muscle strains, which may be more appropriate for your neck issue.
3Try physiotherapy (physical therapy). If your neck problem is recurring (chronic) and caused by weak muscles, poor posture or degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, then you need to consider some form of rehabilitation. A physical therapist can show you specific and tailored stretches and strengthening exercises for your neck.[12] Physiotherapy is usually required 2-3x per week for 4-6 weeks to positively impact chronic spinal problems.
- If need be, a physical therapist can treat your sore neck muscles with electrotherapy such as therapeutic ultrasound or electronic muscle stimulation.
- Good exercises for your neck include swimming, certain yoga positions and weight training, but make sure your injury is resolved first.
4Consider acupuncture. Acupuncture involves sticking very thin needles into specific energy points within the skin / muscle in efforts to reduce pain and inflammation. Acupuncture for neck pain can be effective, especially if it's done when the symptoms first occur.[13] Based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by releasing a variety of substances including endorphins and serotonin, which act to reduce pain.
- It's also claimed that acupuncture stimulates the flow of energy, referred to as chi.
- Acupuncture is practiced by a variety of health professionals including some physicians, chiropractors, naturopaths, physical therapists and massage therapists.
Community Q&A
QuestionWill the numbness in my hand eventually go away?Community AnswerYes, the numbness should go away over time as the pinched nerve in your neck heals.
QuestionShould I be working if I have pulled muscles?Community AnswerNot if you don't have to. Let them rest, give them time to heal for a while.
QuestionIs it best to see a neck or back professional?Community AnswerYou can consult with both to see who would be able to help you with your specific situation.
QuestionHow do I treat a pinched nerve in my neck?Community AnswerFollow the instructions listed in the article above. You should consult a doctor immediately if it does not get better soon.

QuestionI've had a pinched nerve for years. What should I do?Community AnswerSee a specialist or take matters into your own hands and try at home remedies. Tell your doctor all the symptoms.
QuestionCan a tens unit help a trapped nerve in my neck?Community AnswerA tens unit can help to alleviate the pain of a trapped nerve in the neck, but it's not likely to heal a trapped nerve by itself.
QuestionA heavy apron hurts my neck. Any help?Community AnswerTie the apron a little higher on your waist, so that the weight of it is not being supported by your neck.
QuestionHow long can a pinched neck nerve last?Community AnswerA pinched nerve in the neck will generally last for a week or two, but they can also last a month or more, it depends on a lot of factors.
Is it a sign of a pinched nerve if I'm experiencing parts of my legs going numb?
Can a pinched nerve cause me to not become stronger if also had a hip replacement?
What's the treatment for a degenerative disc disease?
How can I get the swelling in my hand to go down?
- Avoid reading in bed by propping your head up with numerous pillows — it causes the neck to flex too much.
- Avoid carrying bags that distribute weight unevenly across your shoulders like single-strap messenger bags or purses as it can strain your neck. Instead, use a bag with wheels or a traditional two-shoulder backpack with well-padded straps.
- Quit smoking because it impairs blood flow, resulting in oxygen and nutrient deprivation to spinal muscles and other tissues.
- It's always a good idea to consult your medical doctor, osteopath or chiropractor to determine the cause of any spinal pain / injury.

|Competitors of the SMU AdRace 2013
It's been a long day and an even longer night … having just completed the SMU Adrace 2013, the only overnight adventure race in Singapore. Organised by the students of Singapore Management University, the event was well orchestrated and full of smiling, enthusiastic crew and volunteers at every station.
The challenges were both physical and mental, with everything from running, biking, skating, rock-climbing and swimming, to memorising tongue twisters, deciphering morse code and navigating the city in the dark.
We picked up a bike further along, made it to the end of the ECP and then biked to Marina Barrage for a spot of kite-flying. We had to make our own kites first, though! With the following checkpoints we took the more scenic route (my navigational skills are honed to perfection – in the opposite direction!), but this didn't detract from the fun. We climbed the rock wall, memorising clues along the way (I think i should get an age handicap or something for stuff like this), played a spot of underwater hockey, did laps of the giant stairs (another memory game!) and searched Fort Canning for hidden clues.
Just when we thought the finish was in sight, we get a clue that sends us back out towards Marina Bay Sands to find the 'fans'. Finally locating the fan-like structures, we're faced with the in-line skating challenge – find and memorise (what is this with memory games??!) 5 tongue twisters and report back to the stationmaster. Try memorising and repeating "Imagine and imaginary menagerie manager managing an imaginary menagerie" when it's 4am in the morning and you've been on the go for all night .. hilarious results.
|SART Recre and their super speedy finish
Finally, we're headed back to the start. Excellent teamwork and support from Ford, and we were the first team across the line. Kudos to all who competed, more so to those who were out there till the end. It's far tougher having the determination to stick it out for such a long time, well done indeed. Congrats to SART Recrea team who won the Open Team event, and all other teams who made it to the podium or otherwise. Great effort from everyone, and hat's off to a strong Team Yoghurt who came in just behind us.
Mark your calendar's for next year, this is an event that's worth a try.
Some pics here, and updated albums will be uploaded here when they're ready.

A taxicab driver called to report a man refusing to pay near the intersection of 52nd Avenue West and 222nd Street Southwest. The cab driver said the man tried to pay but the money "didn't look right." He said three people called his cab company for a ride from Marysville. The total was $64.25. One of the suspects handed over a $100 bill and said to keep the change. The driver said it was odd to leave such a large tip, and when he looked at the bill he noticed it was fake. He then told the riders he wanted money, and they took off. The responding officer looked at the money and observed it appeared to have been printed on regular paper and did not have any holograms or security strips. A check of the area for the suspects was unsuccessful.
July 16
A wallet, iPad and Samsung S4 phone were reported stolen out of the Mountlake Terrace Recreation Center.

An incident of extortion was reported in the 24200 block of 54th Avenue West. A woman was inside a residence with her phone on speaker. The woman has two daughters, and a man on the phone said he had kidnapped one of them and would harm her if the woman didn't send him money. He told her to call her other daughter and put her in a three way call. The officer communicated with her through writing and told her to hang up the phone. The woman was shaken, but after hanging up, she called her daughters and found they were okay. The man was calling from a Mexican phone number. She was advised not to answer the phone if he calls again, and to call 9-1-1.
A trespass complaint was filed from the 4400 block of 214th Street Southwest. A man said he found garbage and feces on his roof, indicating some people had been up on his roof. Among the garbage were cigarettes, gum and Gatorade bottles. Increased patrols were requested for the area.
A man reported an attempted vehicle prowl in his driveway. The homeowner had surveillance video of the attempt, which showed a man walk up to his vehicle, try the doors to each of the vehicle's in the driveway, then try the door to a camping trailer. Everything was locked. The suspect left without getting into any vehicles or the trailer. Nothing was stolen. The video was submitted into evidence.
July 20
An officer driving through the Studio 6 parking lot noticed three men standing around a vehicle. When they saw the officer, the three men dispersed. The officer ran the plate of the vehicle and noticed it was stolen out of Edmonds. Two of the men reappeared some time later and were detained. They both have criminal histories that include stolen vehicles. They told the officer they were standing by the car because they "bummed" a cigarette off of the third man. They then told the officer which room they were staying in. Inside were two men and two women, three of which also had criminal histories involving stolen vehicles. The owner of the vehicle was contacted. No evidence was found inside the vehicle. The two men were released.
July 21

So with the recent Memorial Day holiday the weekend lent itself to the charring of flesh. Like any real man I like grilling and barbeque. Yes, there is a difference between the two. Perhaps I will give you an education on the two in a future post. On to the present. Several years ago, my friends had a party to celebrate the end of their PhD program. High science brainiacs they are; chefs, not so much. On the counter sat a mound of ground beef. I inquired as to their intention, already knowing the answer. "We're just going to make patties," was the response. What are we, heathens? No seasonings? This ain't the dark ages. I cracked a few cupboard doors and perused the fridge. A little diced onion, a few splashes of worchestire sauce, quickly made bread crumbs, toss of spices, and an egg were all thrown in and massaged into flavor. The burgers were a hit.
So Dirty calls me up Saturday and says, "Remember those burgers you made at the UCR party? What's the recipe?" I gave him the original recipe as well as a dozen different iterations I've tried over the years. I am not one to follow recipes verbatim. Nor am I one to write down a good recipe I've created. Soups and sauces are the worst for me. I throw a bunch of stuff together, it turns out great, then a month a later I ask the wife, "Remember that **** I made awhile back? Do you recall what I put in it?" If you have the pleasure of of sitting down to a meal from me, and you like it, savor it. It might not be the same next time. What was I writing about? So I tell Dirty all ways I have tried to change-up the simple burger. I've added everything from various barbeque sauces, mustard, liquid smoke, chiles, and a plethora of seasonings. Then I realized I was no longer making burgers but instead making meatloaf on a bun. So I pared it down to the essentials. What do want to taste in a burger? Exactly! The beef.
So now I tell him my current recipe is beef, sea salt, cracked pepper, onion powder, and that's it. There are however two very important keys to getting the most out of your burger. One is how you cook it. Rare. You want well-done, then go to Carl's Jr and buy a hockey puck. Two is the beef itself. Forget your diet. You're eating a burger, so enjoy one. There is no buying "lean" ground beef. You want 80/20, no leaner. Obviously fat is flavor, but it is also moisture. Once that scant amount of fat burns off from your lean beef you are left with a dry patty that should be served from a clown in a drive-thru. The byproduct of ol steer's laziness will reward you with delicious juiciness. It truly does melt in your mouth as it melds with the cheese. So good it doesn't need extra accoutrements. A slice of tomato, cheese, and the bun. . . mmmm, tasty. You know who you thank for that? Fat.
So Dirty says the burger V2.0 was great. I say thanks for all the epic rides we've been on and all the ones to come (Downieville next month). I pay homage to you by starting each paragraph with "So." Any story of importance from him begins with "So . . ." as in so there I was, so I riding *** trail, or so RL has this bitchin website.

Shipwreck is an old time mid-western casserole or bake which makes a lot of food cheaply. Layers of ingredients built up in an oven proof dish then baked until tender. This dish may be a little bland to some people's taste so add spices and herbs if desired. Start a step one below.
- 2 onions, sliced
- 2 good size potatoes, sliced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup rice
- 1 cup chopped celery
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 10 3/4 ounces tomato soup, condensed. Choose a good quality soup as this item is the main favouring in the dish.
- 10 3/4 ounces boiling water
- Nonstick cooking spray or cooking oil
1Preheat oven to 350 °F (177 °C).
2Spray a 2 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
3Peel and slice onions and the potatoes and the celery.
4Place a layer onions in the bottom of baking or casserole dish then season with salt and pepper. You can add other herbs and spices at this stage of you wish.
5Place the sliced potatoes over onions and season with salt and pepper again if desired. Be careful not to over salt the dish.
6Add the raw ground or minced beef and pat it to ensure it evenly cover vegetables. Add more seasoning with salt and pepper or anything else if desired.
7Spread the uncooked rice over ground beef. Be careful to distribute it evenly.
8Top with the prepared celery.
9Heat the water then mix it together with the contents of can of soup. If you have left over homemade soup, use this instead. Pour the soup and water mix over the layers in your dish.
10Cover and bake for two hours or until the potatoes, celery and onions are tender.
11Serves at least 4 and probably closer to 6 hungry people.
12Serve with a green salad.Advertisement

Now that we've discussed some of the facts about miscarriage and why it occurs, I wanted to devote some time to exploring common emotional reactions to miscarriage.
There is no one way you are supposed to feel (or not feel) following a miscarriage. I've seen women in my private practice express a range of emotions from numbness and disbelief, to despair, to anger, to those that experience their feelings somatically. Over the years of working with women who have lost pregnancies, I have been humbled to learn from their journeys of grief and loss. Below are reflections from my work with them that I hope will support those who are grieving and healing.
- There is no normal, there is no supposed to, there is no right way to feel. Grief is very personal in this way. Some women experience significant distress following a loss, while some are less affected. Some experience despair right away and some women come to me for help years after a miscarriage finding that some new experience such as a subsequent pregnancy or a new loss has triggered them.
- Grieving takes time. There is no roadmap for how long you "should" be grieving, and the feelings you experience may shift and change from day to day. This is expected and part of the process. How long you grieve for and what that grief feels like is not dependent on how far along you were in your pregnancy.
- Many women experience significant guilt. Sometimes this is experienced as blaming oneself for the loss. Some women feel guilt for grieving at all. Some women feel guilt for having moments during the day where they are happy or are not focused on their loss.
- Many women express a sense of anger or betrayal at their own bodies following a loss. I've had many clients describe feeling disconnected or dissociated from their bodies after a miscarriage.
- Some women find themselves going into a "solving" or "doing mode," where they fixate on some specific task or responsibility that feels very separate from the loss. I've had some clients throw themselves into work and some who become obsessed with physical fitness. These are normal attempts to distract and distance from the pain of loss, and to try and gain a sense of control following an experience that has felt very out of control.
- Many women experience difficulties in their relationships with their spouse/partner following loss. Losing a pregnancy can be a very different experience for the mom then for the partner/spouse who did not share the physical connection to the pregnancy. The grief is often experienced and expressed differently.
- It is normal to be triggered in both expected and unexpected ways. Many women feel triggered seeing pregnant women or babies, or looking at baby items. Some get triggered going back to their doctor's office.
- There are significant hormonal changes that occur after a pregnancy loss which can impact you physically and emotionally.
- You may feel distant from friends and family, especially if you had not disclosed your pregnancy. You may find that some people find it difficult to offer appropriate support due to their own discomfort and unease. You may find that those you care about say profoundly hurtful and unhelpful things in attempts to be helpful.
- While grief is a normal and expected process, some women find that they are unable to move through it, and that their grief morphs into intense feelings of depression and anxiety. This is especially true for those who have experienced multiple losses or who have a history of mental health concerns.
Stay tuned next week for thoughts and recommendations on ways to cope following a miscarriage.

"Globoforce is leading a working movement—making people happier at work. What we provide is a social recognition platform that allows employees to thank other colleagues or peers for going above and beyond in helping them perform at their job," shares Michael Robb of Workhuman, formerly known as Globoforce.
"At Globoforce my role is to lead a proposal team in developing RFI responses, RFP responses, updating messaging in our RFP library, creating proposals for sales [and] our customer success teams. Before Qvidian, it was a struggle. Sales reps were doing their own proposals.""Using Qvidian and the RFP library, I was able to provide consistent messaging, start a database from scratch including products, services, all operations and all aspects of our business. It has been nothing but helpful for us."
"What's really interesting is that Globoforce is devoted to making people happy at work. And nobody needs that more than proposal writers and managers. Qvidian eases the process and allows us to go home, spend time with our families, and enjoy the weekends!"
Learn how SalesEdge and Qvidian empower the Workhuman proposal team to scale resources in support of a growing sales team.

Article #15
Since it says in Psalm 110:4 and Hebrews 5:6 that Christ is a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek, I think we had better get a good understanding about this amazing man, Melchizedek.
Melchizedek first appears in Genesis 14:18-20 in which he verbally blessed Abraham and Abraham gave him a tenth of the spoils he obtained in battle. Verse 18 says that Melchizedek was both king of Salem and a priest of God most high.
The first question that comes to mind is what covenant was the basis of the priesthood of Melchizedek? The answer is that a priesthood which offered blood sacrifices was implicitly established under the Adamic covenant (Genesis 1:28-31;3:21). One could also argue that Melchizedek's priesthood was based at least in part on the covenant God made with Noah in Genesis 9:1-17.
The Adamic and Noahide covenants allowed for a man to simultaneously hold the office of both king and priest. Melchizedek was both a king and a priest. Noah was a priest and he offered sacrifices in Genesis 8:20.
Under the covenant of Moses which was given to the descendants of Abraham centuries later, the office of king and priest were strictly separated. The priests came from the tribe of Levi and were descendants of Aaron. The kings generally came from the tribe of Judah.
Who then was Melchizedek? I would suggest that Melchizedek was the man that Abraham regarded as a spiritual authority. Abraham's gift of a tenth of the spoils was not a haphazard gratuitous act. Such a gift was an act of real submission. Melchizedek was Abraham's high priest but we could also say that he was Abraham's pastor.
Abraham was a man who was righteous and submitted to authority. Abraham was under the Adamic and Noahide covenants and he respected the priesthood of those covenants. No doubt Abraham had a longstanding personal relationship with Melchizedek.
Abraham was also a priest. On at least three occasions we are told that Abraham built altars to the Lord (Gen 12:7; Gen. 12:8; Gen. 13:18). Abraham was a priest over his household. Since Abraham was a priest we can surmise that Melchizedek was a high priest.
Abraham knew full well that he was called to a great new move of God. He did not get boastful or proud or run ahead. He respected his high priest, Melchizedek. Abraham was a humble man who submitted to the spiritual authority of the old order even though he knew that a new order, the Abrahamic covenant, was being established by God.
This reminds me of Jesus who submitted to the baptism of John the Baptist. Jesus respected and submitted to the old order of ministry that John represented.
Some have suggested that Melchizedek was a preincarnate appearance of Christ because of what is stated in Hebrews 7:3. This verse describes Melchizedek as "without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life" (NAS). Taken literally those words would suggest that Melchizedek and Christ are one and the same.
However, I believe the words describing Melchizedek as"without genealogy . . . " were probably reflective of an allegorical interpretation that the inspired author of Hebrews gave to the Old Testament verses about Melchizedek. Melchizedek appears suddenly in Genesis 14 without mention of his ancestors. It is quite reasonable that the inspired author of Hebrews applied what the Jews call a "sod" interpretation and what the medieval church called an "anagogical" interpretation.
The sod and anagogical literary forms tend to be hyper-allegorical, mysterious and some use the word "mystical" to describe them. I believe Melchizedek was a very godly priest, yet physically he was an ordinary man with ordinary ancestors. Melchizedek did not have the power of an indestructible life when he met Abraham but the Genesis narrative could be allegorized that way for greater persuasive and illustrative impact.
I believe the Holy Spirit chose to use that mysterious, allegorical approach when He inspired the writing of the verses about Melchizedek in Hebrews. The emphasis in Hebrews is that Christ's high priesthood is not based on human descent from Aaron but on "the power of an indestructible life" (Heb. 7:16 NAS).
What then is the significance of Christ being a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek? Its immediate significance is that Jesus is both priest and king. The book of Hebrews makes it plain in chapters five through eight that the high priesthood of Christ does not detract from His kingship. The high priesthood of Christ supercedes the old order Mosaic Aaronic priesthood. Aaronic priests did not hold the office of king.
Jesus is the high priest according to the order of Melchizedek and we Christians are ordinary priests according to the order of Melchizedek. We are Melchizedek priests and I believe that in the end times our priestly power and glory will be more and more manifest. Our priesthood is based on the power of our endless lives and not on physical descent from Aaron.
Every priest is an intercessor. A priest receives sacrifices from the people and offers them to God. A prophet, by contrast, receives words from God and presents the words to the people. As intercessors we mediate as priests between the people and God through Christ our high priest. As priestly intercessors we mention the people's needs and we also mention their repentance as we cry out to God for mercy on our nation. Intercession is at the heart of our duties as Melchizedek priests.
First Peter 2:9 says we are a "royal priesthood" which means we are priests but also royalty. We are kings. I believe our kingly power over the world will be more and more manifest by God's grace in the end times. In my article, Defending the Faith, Special Issue #13 , I teach about the kingship of the believer.
It is ironic that when the Messiah of Israel had come He was appointed high priest according to a covenantal order that preceded the Mosaic Covenant. The covenantal order under which Melchizedek ministered was in fact, pre-Abrahamic. The Adamic and Noahide covenants included all nations equally. The kingly and priestly offices were not divided. People were not forbidden from priesthood because of nonlevitical ancestry under those pre-Abrahamic covenants.
The New Covenant embraces Jew and Gentile equally and makes both into one new man (Eph. 2:15). This does not endorse replacement theology or minimize the role of Israel in the end-times. Regarding Israel, Romans 11:28 says: "From the standpoint of God's choice they [the Jews] are beloved for the sake of the fathers" ( NAS). This verse, Romans 11:28, shows that physical ancestry does continue to count for Israel even in the times of the New Covenant. Jew and Gentile are one new man in Christ. Christ is our high priest and He is our king of kings!
Steps to salvation:
Jesus said "Ye must be born again" (John 3:7).
Prayer to receive salvation:
"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).
To receive the salvation that Jesus purchased for us at the terrible cost of His suffering and death on our behalf I invite you to pray this simple prayer:
"Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus, the promised Messiah, to die for my sins. I admit that I am a sinner. I repent of my sins and I ask for your forgiveness on the basis of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit to empower me to serve you under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, Amen."
If you prayed this prayer in the humble sincerity of your heart then you have received everlasting life, which includes power to live right in this life and entrance into heaven in the afterlife!

Life is tough on working moms. Each and every working mom will have to face numerous occasions where they have to risk their jobs in order to be there for their children when their kids are ill or when they simply cannot find a baby sitter during school holidays. More and more moms and families are starting to look for stay in nannies to help them make home life easier. When you have a stay in nanny you have someone who will be there for your kids when you cannot get off from work and you will have someone in the house who can help share the load of cleaning, laundry, cooking and other home chores. There are plenty of young students who are happy to play the part of a nanny in exchange for room accommodations which makes it the perfect win-win situation.
Find only the best stay in nanny
If you are going to trust your children with the new stay in nanny then you need to make sure that she is as secure and safe as possible. The last thing you need on your hands is a criminal living underneath your roof or a student who simply won't watch out for your kids. Https://www.verticalrent.com/ is a website where you can apply online to a thorough background and credit check done on all of the possible nannies. Vertical Rent will scan through thousands of government databases and criminal records to help you ensure that the person you are trusting with your kids doesn't have a bad background of child abuse or credit abuse against them. Getting your tenants screened is the ultimate step that you simply cannot skip out on.
Interview the nannies
During the interview you can meet up with the possible nannies and see what their personalities are like. You should also have a questionnaire prepared before the interview in which you enquire about all other living habits such as smoking, friends, off nights, study hours, study breaks and more. During the interview you also have to listen to your instincts and you could even take the nanny out to the park to see how she interacts with your children before you decide for sure.
Make the rules clear
It is your home and your nanny should be able to follow your rules regarding your home and what is to be expected from the nanny. If you expect your new nanny to cook and clean for you as well you will have to make it clear from the start and perhaps agree on a salary or free meals to add onto the benefits.
Contracts are always best
A contract can save you a lot of time and effort when it comes to terminating the nannies services and is an absolute must even if you are employing the services of a well trusted friend or a family member. A contract is the easiest way to make your rules and regulations clear to your nanny and protect both you and the new nanny from being exploited.

Sugar substitutes, honey versus stevia
Stevia is a herb containing a concentrated sweetener, but at the moment, no one here appears to have too much information of the composition of the sweetener. It is green in color and can be purchased in dried leaf, powdered, or liquid form. If used for baking, recipes can be found on the internet. It has a strong but not unpleasant aftertaste.
Honey is derived from the nectar of flowers and, unlike refined sugar, consists of various sugars which enter the blood stream at different times. It therefore has less effect on blood sugar levels than refined sugar.
It does not have an aftertaste and does not change the color of food. It is used in baking by substituting 1cup of honey for 2 cups of sugar. Watch for possible tendency to burn the cake. Cover with foil it cake is dark enough before the baking time is done.

Get to know: Marigold
The birth month flower for October is the Marigold. Known for its cheery yellow gold color, it symbolizes winning grace, protection, comfort and healing. Rich in symbolism, it's also associated with the sun – resplendent yellow and head-turning gold in color, it grabs your attention. Thus, it is also called the 'herb of the sun', and stands for passion and creativity.
The Marigold in History
The flower was first discovered by the Portuguese in the 1600s in Central America. They were then introduced to India and Europe. In Aztec culture, the marigold was prized for its mystical and medicinal properties, dating back to 1552 with herbal records that show they were used to cure hiccups – and those who were struck by lightning! Spanish explorers took the seeds of the flowers back to Spain, growing them in monastery gardens.

Marigold around the world
It was also used as a protective talisman for sailors who traveled over large bodies of water. In ancient South Asia, they were also prized for its golden hue, and were used as decoration in ceremonial rooms and pavilions. They are also used as decoration in present day Mexico, especially during All Saints' Day and All Souls Day.
Today in India, the marigold is a common sight and is often seen as a decorative plant. They also play a role in Hindu religious ceremonies, as well as other ceremonies ranging from weddings to funerals. They are also offered to the gods, and when dried and ground into a powder, are rubbed onto the exterior of village homes.
Caring for the Marigold
Marigold is a hardy flower and is a common sight in many American gardens. Belonging to the calendula family, it is happy during the fall and can also make it through dry weather with no problems.
Care info from the Farmer's Almanac:
- Germination from large, easily handled seeds is rapid, and blooms should appear within a few weeks of sowing.
- If the spent blossoms are deadheaded, the plants will continue to bloom profusely.
- When you water marigolds, allow the soil to dry somewhat between watering, then water well, then repeat the process.
- Do not water marigolds from overhead. Water at the base of the plant.
- Do not fertilize marigolds. Too rich a diet stimulates lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Marigolds bloom better and more profusely in poor soil.
- The densely double flowerheads of the African marigolds tend to rot in wet weather.

New system to streamline JBER recreation access
A new system will soon be implemented at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson which will make recreational areas on the base easier to access for those with military affiliation as well as those without.
The iSportsman system is a recreation access system that is the first of its kind at an Air Force installation and will replace the U.S. Army Garrison Alaska Recreation Tracking System, or USARTRAK.
"This new system is much more user-friendly because it provides maps and more accurate openings for training areas," said Mark Sledge, JBER's senior conservation enforcement officer. "USARTRAK was good for its time but it was not as reliable as this new system."
The iSportsman system allows people who do not have any affiliation with the military to have access to certain areas of the base for recreational purposes, such as hiking and fishing.
For those who already have access to the base, it allows them to more safely recreate on the installation because it requires that they provide their planned destination on the base.
To access iSportsman, those who are interested should go to www.jber.isportsman.net. After a quick registration process, a permit number and pin number is automatically generated.
Once those are issued, a permit may be obtained. For those without military affiliation, that permit is then taken to the JBER visitors center where they register in the Defense Biometric Identification System.
Once registered, a seven-day pass is issued and must be renewed every seven days that access to JBER is desired.
"The registration process allows us to figure out whether you are Department of Defense-affiliated or not," Sledge said. "The program had to be written to recognize those with no military affiliation and only allow them to go where the public can go."
Sledge said while this system was developed in order to facilitate the relationship between JBER
and those members of the public who wish to recreate on the training lands here, the military mission will always be the first priority.
"Because this is a military installation, training obviously comes first," Sledge said. "The whole reason this base is here is for Soldiers, Airmen and other military personnel. But when those areas are not being utilized for training, we can open them up for fishing and hiking or whatever."
DoD card holders, including retirees and dependents, are not as limited as to where on the installation they are allowed to recreate but they still must register with the iSportsman program for safety and security reasons.
"It's a great system. If you get out there and you get lost or you get hurt and you don't come home, I can query the system and see where you are signed in and start looking for you," Sledge said. "It gives me a place to start. It also keeps you from being downrange when Soldiers are shooting live ammunition. It's a win-win."
Although Sledge said the program may go through growing pains in the early stages, it offers advantages for everyone.
"It's a new system. There are going to be little bumps with it as we go. Be patient with us. Once we get all the bugs worked out, it's going to be great for both the military and the user," he said.

Do you have a Combi boiler?
Are you on a water meter?
Then this device will save you money
Even brand new A-rated boilers are not as efficient as you may think. Every time you turn on your hot water tap you are wasting water, gas, time and money. This British innovation is a thermostatically operated valve that can be fitted to the majority of new and existing wall hung Combi boilers
How does it work?
By controlling the water flow to the hot taps during the initial boiler firing process, the Combi boiler can accelerate the heating of hot water and reduces the amount of fuel needed. When the hot tap is turned on, the CombiSAVE reduces the flow of water until it has reached a set temperature. At this point, the valve opens fully and allows the hot water to flow at full delivery capacity through your domestic system. The CombiSAVE will save you an average of 6 litres of water every time the hot tap is turned on from cold. This will vary depending on your local water pressure.
What is hot water preheat?
Preheat is a setting on many combination boilers which makes the boiler fire approximately every half an hour regardless of heating or hot water demand in order to maintain a faster hot water delivery temperature. During testing, we found that over a 24-hour period with no heating demand or hot water usage, an A-rated condensing Combi boiler can use 0.3 cubic metres of gas (3.30 kilowatt hours) which equates to around 15p per day. Over the space of a year, this would waste over £50 of gas. CombiSAVE enables the preheat setting on your boiler to be turned off as it allows the boiler to heat the hot water faster. Check the instructions for your boiler to see how the preheat can be turned off, for example, on a Worcester Green Star boiler, simply press and hold the eco-button to turn off pre-heat.
How much can a CombiSAVE valve save?
Save water – the CombiSAVE can reduce your water consumption in a family home by up to 28,000 litres per year. This can give a significant water saving if you are on metered water.
Save gas – the boiler will take less time to heat your water, enabling the preheat setting on the boiler to be turned off, potentially saving you up to £60 - £70 (300 kg of CO2) of gas per year.
Save money – for the amount the CombiSAVE costs to purchase, along with its simple fitting which can be done by the average DIYer, you will often get your money back in less than one year, usually 1 to 2 years. Typical savings up to £150 per year if you are on a water meter enabling the preheat boiler setting to be turned off.
Environmental – Carbon dioxide savings can be over 300 kg per year with significant water savings and reduction in water treatment chemical usage by the utility companies.
Fact – A CombiSAVE fitted in 50,000 homes would save a whole reservoir of water each year as well as preventing around 15,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
How easy is it to fit?
The valve is easy to fit by the average DIYer on a straight section of 15 mm hot water pipe below your boiler using 45° rotatable elbows. All parts are included for fitting along with pipe cutting template and instructions. YouTube installation video's are also available.

The Man Who Wanted to Classify the World
60 ' – Version française, English Version, Nederlandse Versie.
From the index card to the Internet…
The film relates the life of Belgian utopian Paul Otlet (1868-1940) who developed the strangest of obsessions: classify and catalogue all the books which ever appeared in the world according to a system of "universal decimal classification system", enabling him to codify both ideas and facts. Over the course of time, he and his collaborators filled out some twelve million index cards… This classification system is considered similar to today's "hypertext" which enables us to navigate the Web.
He next wanted to build a world city, the plans of which were entrusted to architect Le Corbusier, that would reunite all the knowledge in the world, in order to attain peace thanks to better knowledge and thus understanding between peoples. He imagined in 1934 an "irradiated library", the books of which could be consulted at a distance by means of a television screen and telephone. Such are the broad lines of Paul Otlet, that visionary, who is considered by communication historians as one of the precursors of today's Web and Internet.
The story of a utopia which might have succeeded, the story of an intuition which ended up as an obsession, the story of a dream of world peace which toppled over into madness. The story of an apparent failure, and an unexpected, at the very least, posthumous victory…

These guys have no respect for local communities, and even worse, have the politicians in Harrisburg on their side. My guess is they'll win this because Corbett and Co. has paved the way.

Datto's Screenshot Verification
Datto's patented Screenshot Backup Verification takes backup monitoring a step further by frequently and automatically validating backup integrity immediately after completion.
Following backups, Datto BDR solutions virtualize and test-boot servers that they are protecting, and detect any backup concerns using a combination of screen recognition and patented CPU register algorithms. This allows large quantities of protected servers, even across a fleet of Datto appliances, to have backup data integrity validated at a scale traditional solutions could never match.
Screenshot Verification provides:
- Significantly increased frequency of backup verification: Datto's leading backup frequency (up to every 5 minutes) demands an equally capable backup verification system
- Smart backup monitoring designed for MSP success: Fully integrated backup monitoring that scales to support enormous fleets, without the added complexity and cost of third party tools
- The first and most advanced backup verification available: With more backups tested than any other vendor, Datto continues to evolve unrivaled patented verification technology
- Offload backup and DR testing from production servers: No more impact on production servers, or scheduled downtime, to test backup integrity
Proactive and automated
Nobody enjoys spending time validating backups. Perhaps that is why it is commonplace for backups from traditional solutions to contain data integrity issues that render them useless. Problems are only discovered when it is too late – when that backup data is needed to recover from a disaster.
Datto's Screenshot Backup Verification allows you to monitor your clients' backups, verify that restores can be performed, and resolve issues before they develop into bigger problems. Following a backup, the system automatically boots virtual machines from the backup and takes a screenshot of the OS login screen. In the event that the boot fails, details are provided explaining what went wrong to the administrator. Screenshot Backup Verification is completely automated, has no impact on performance and protected systems are completely unaware of the monitoring process.
Screenshot Backup Verification is specifically designed to make Datto the best choice. It is a native feature of SIRIS 2, SIRIS 3, Virtual SIRIS, and ALTO, and available at no additional cost.
Significantly increased frequency of backup verification
Screenshot Backup Verification relies on the capabilities of Datto's Inverse Chain and Instant Virtualization to quickly virtualize and test boot backups of protected servers. Since each completed backup has no dependencies on other backups, there is never a backup chain to slow down a recovery with reconstruction, which liberates the solution to have more frequent backups – as frequently as every 5 minutes. But without an automated method to verify backups – more backups may mean nothing other than more invalid backups, and this is why Datto's Screenshot Backup Verification tech is so important.
Go from testing weekly – and probably yearly if at all, to testing hourly. And automatically. More backups tested, no time testing them. Only time testing will be inspecting why they might have not succeeded.
Industry-leading 5-minute backup frequency demands an industry-leading backup verification technology.
Smart backup monitoring
Screenshot Backup Verification's intuitive user interface is part of Datto's remote management portal. When the verification process is complete, test results appear in the portal along with everything needed to troubleshoot issues. The system also triggers an email alert, so you can quickly check pass/fail status without logging into the portal. The testing frequency of backups is configurable, along with the frequency of alerts, to meet your specific needs.
Below is an illustration of what remote management of Datto solutions would look like in the portal. Easily view when protected machines were last backed up to the Datto device, or the time that backups were last synchronized with the Datto Cloud. Easily view whether the last local backup was successful (green checkmark) or failed (red X). And if any backups did fail, remember that Inverse Chain Technology means that not only is every backup fully constructed, but any backup can be deleted. Even if an interim backup failed, those backups can be deleted with no rest to a backup chain required.
The first and most advanced backup verification available
Datto developed Screenshot Backup Verification years ago in response to the needs of clients. Today, Datto has over 40,000 systems in production, backing up hundreds of thousands of machines every day, physical and virtual, of multiple OS types, and on multiple hypervisors. Since Datto supports a backup frequency beyond any competitor, it is safe to say more backups have been handled with Datto than any solution by a wide margin. Datto continues to evolve backup verification well beyond just screen recognition (which is where most of Datto's competitors are just getting to today).
For example, how to monitor the status of systems we don't have permissions to. Here, Screenshot Verification uses a process typically used for debugging – tracking the CPU register states of protected systems. CPU register states are modes designed to restrict processes being run by the CPU. Operating systems run in the unrestricted mode (often called kernel mode), while applications run in a restricted mode (aka user mode). This allows the operating system to run with more privileges than applications.
Tracking what is happening is challenging because on Windows 8 and above, Microsoft applies sophisticated address space layout randomization (ASLR) to protect against buffer overflow attacks. ASLR randomly arranges the address space positions of key data areas of processes. However, the CPU also has to move real (non-randomized) data. When you mix randomized and non-random data, the result is not perfectly random. This allows Datto systems to perform entropy testing on CPU register states to determine signatures that indicate whether a system is up, which services are running, etc. This information is compiled into a signature library, which is regularly updated using an automated process.
