A cancer diagnosis can leave you feeling stunned and overwhelmed. But at The University of Kansas Cancer Center, you don't have to navigate your cancer journey alone. From initial diagnosis until your treatment plan is established, our nurse navigators guide patients through initial testing and appointments, answering questions and providing emotional support every step of the way. Your navigator then remains an additional resource for you throughout your cancer journey.
Nurse navigators make sure everything is ready for a patient to see a specialist, including collecting medical record information for the doctor's analysis, getting orders for additional tests when needed and identifying support services for the patient.
Nurse navigators also:
Nurse navigators also connect patients with community resources to help with issues they may have. For instance, they can help patients traveling from a long distance connect with lodging options or schedule an appointment with a nutritionist. They provide emotional support and clinical expertise, as well.
The University of Kansas Cancer Center launched its nurse navigator system in 2011 as one more way to help improve the patient experience and increase overall patient satisfaction. Nurse navigators are responsible for working step by step with new patients to help make their cancer journeys a little easier.

So, from start to oven, here's the basics on whole wheat, sourdough crackers.
I keep my starter in a small plastic dish, with a lid, in the fridge, for about a week. When I pull it out, it looks like this:
I weigh it, and then double that weight with 50% water, 50% whole wheat flour. So, just to follow the photo - the plastic dish is 25g, so I have 250g of starter. therefore, I add 125g of water, 125g of flour.
I move the whole lot to a bigger container, one of those designed for baking, also with a lid, and stir it up. Sometimes I let my daughter stir it for 20 minutes. doesn't help, doesn't hurt:
Then let it sit. Most sources say 'feed it' every 8-12 hours. I've gone 24 without any ramifications. However, this is where you have to start thinking and planning about how much you'll use during this round of baking, how much you want to have left over, and how much you might figure out how to use quickly - like by making pancakes or something. Every 8 to 24 hours, you're going to have about twice as much as before.
Now, you don't *have* to completely double it every feeding. I've gotten away with just adding 'some', especially when I'm getting close to having too much. Still, it IS important to always keep the water/flour weight ratio exact.
When you're feeding or ready to add it into the baking process, it should look 'active'; bubbled up, not exactly doubled, but bigger for sure. When you stir it, I think what makes it seem 'healthy' is the strands between the bubbles. You can just see a bit of that at about 11 o'clock in this photo of my bowl. As you stir it up, the bubbles of course go away.
Moving on to the cracker specifics. First, remember to always set aside a little bit to store for next week. Then, the way I make crackers is always vague in measuring, because you never know exactly how much starter you're dealing with - that is, the amount is different every week. So:
to the bowl of starter, I add:
about 2 tablespoons of olive oil for every cup of starter. a bit more won't hurt
a teaspoon of salt for every cup of starter,
2 tablespoons of sesame seeds for every cup of starter,
and then I start adding a bit of flour (maybe 1/2 cup at a time) stirring until it turns into dough:
As it gets to hard to stir with a spoon, I dump it out on the counter and keep adding flour and kneading until I get a nice smooth, soft ball that looks and acts like pizza dough you see in the cartoons.
Then, once I have it shaped into a nice ball, into a rising bowl that's coated in oil until the oven is ready to bake - somewhere between 2 and 5 hours.
Then grab a piece off, spread it on a floured surface, roll out with rolling pin until it's *quite* thin, then I spread an extra sprinkle of BIG sea salt, roll that in, cross cut with pizza cutter, transfer to baking sheets and toss in the oven for a few minutes until brown. Done.

Movie Trailers
BATMAN VS SUPERMAN Fan-Made Trailer
If you're one of these fans not happy with the casting pick of Ben Affleck to take over as Batman, then you might have nothing against Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor in Man of Steel 2, which is scheduled for release on July 17, 2015.
And that's what this fan-made trailer does give us as well as some pretty convincing shots of Affleck from other movies that may help sell those wary about his casting.
Pretty cool, albeit too dark in some spots, it uses snippets from Man of Steel, Total Recall, Daredevil, Nolan's Batman films, Breaking Bad, Elysium, and a few others.
This fake Batman/Superman teaser does a great job of cutting together all of the different scenes in one coherent version that gives fans a believable plot for Man of Steel follow up. Besides, it also delivers a some vision of what a particular actor might look like in a particular role.
Take a look and tell us know what you think.
Guy's work deserves, at the very least, a thank-you card from Warner Bros.

Altromondo at it's best. Cool video - that's what a discotheque is about.

Indochine - Leila (1982)
This is the second bomb from the album "L'aventurier". The sound quality is pretty poor because it is obviously a live cut.

Indochine - L'aventurier (1982)
This is quite no Italo but a New Wave bomb from France. If you are able to understand French you should watch the video and read the vocals.

daniel.fernandezE necesitaba un nuevo diseño de tema WordPress y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 107 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
We deliver better car loan quotes online to borrowers, allow them to interact with lenders, get approved and then as an approved car buyer - land sharper new car and demo (near new) car deals from local dealerships. All 100% online, no haggling and better loan offers and car prices.
Completely open to creative style but as a relatively 'new concept' it needs to portray a high level of professionalism, credibility and have a very 'fresh' appeal to it. It needs to have a 'human' element to it and draw the audience in to easily show the key benefits being: 'lower car loan repayments, faster approvals and land better new and demo car deals'.
Home Page = Main banner to link in with the slogan "Shop your loan and car deal like never before" with subtitle "no hassle, no credit checks just better savings". It also has to summarise how it works with 3 enhanced images, have a "key benefits" section, a smaller testimonials area and better "call to action buttons" (like Carwow). The only section which CANNOT change is the "Select Make" button (imagery around this can be enhanced) as this links into a sign up application.
How it Works - Improved banner behind video, improved how it works imagery (see https://www.carwow.co.uk/how-it-works) and colours.
About us: Proper banner image (if we can have similar to Car Wow about us where it shows an office space with our logo?).
Pricing: Needs a proper banner, needs to drastically improve pricing layout (we want these side-by-side) similar to this image but we want to emphasise our recommended selection (the FREE one). See here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pl066ftgb…e.jpg?dl=0
We need to be really engaging, eye popping and create a WOW about what we are providing - amazing loan quotes, online approvals and the best new car deals in the Australian market. Incorporate tablets/phones showing people using Biddly.

About –
Planning Unit rebranded all digital and marketing materials to reflect a new chapter for the company.
Following the acquisition of a VFX studio as well as expansion into the US, the newly created Freefolk; a collective of creative artists, technicians, producers and problem solvers needed a complete rebrand of their full service post-production house.
Freefolk inject magic into raw footage enhancing the visual impact of Commercials, Film & TV, making the unbelievable believable so the viewer never questions "how it was done". They wanted the new brand to represent their independent spirit and we wanted to somehow encapsulate the process that happens behind the scenes.
Four cubes that play with negative and positive space form a FF pixel icon. Each cube represents the finished product/film/advert; the final outcome of the post-production process. The drop shadow behind each cube epitomises Freefolk itself, placing a strong visual emphasis on the magic that happens behind the scenes; essentially the very essence of their business.
The redesign of the new responsive website, in the same vein, was to create a simple to navigate platform again placing emphasis on showcasing the great portfolio of work whilst providing an insight into the processes that take place in order for Freefolk to present the finished article.

Finding Discounts in Pigeon Forge
Cost is often a deciding factor for many families when planning vacation spots… including mine! The first place to start when planning a trip to Pigeon Forge is, the Department of Tourism's website, www.MyPigeonForge.com! It is an extremely valuable tool for every Mom.
The site has coupons to help you save on attractions, dining, accommodations and more! The Ways to Save page lists many great tips on how to keep cash in your pockets. I've found the Vacation Packages definitely offer more bang for your buck for each season of the year.
Another great tool on the website is a link to order a free Pigeon Forge Travel Planner and have it mailed to your home. Inside, there is a Value Card and it offers discounts at many local businesses. We have used it to save on lunch at Bennett's Bar-B-Que and even on rooms at the Inn on the River. If you forget to order it in time for your visit, just stop by the Welcome Center at traffic light #0 on your way into town and pick one up.
Be sure to check the My Pigeon Forge Fan Page for announcements about upcoming events along with comments/tips from other Pigeon Forge fans. I've heard that in October there will be something special just for the fans!
Don't forget that Pigeon Forge showcases a plethora of award winning talent. Many of the area shows offer combo discounts. For instance, the Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Show and Comedy Barn offer a combo ticket price when you purchase tickets to two different shows. So if you are planning on seeing a couple of different shows while you are in town…this is the way to go!
You may also want to check the websites of the area attractions and shows as many offer a discount if you purchase your tickets online. This is one of my favorites right now- Titanic is offering discounted tickets on their website if purchased in combination with Dolly Parton's Stampede or Comedy Barn tickets. Our little divas love all three of these attractions!
Plus, Dollywood and Splash Country have a great deal of their own, "Arrive after 3 pm, and the next day is free." Spend a few hours there the first day, then go back and spend the entire day there the next. This offer has allowed our family to be able to take in the whole park and not miss anything!
Remember having fun in Pigeon Forge can be affordable. Let these tips help you and your family enjoy more for less!

QuickType and Third-Party Keyboards in iOS 8
Apple on Monday introduced a new iOS 8 feature called QuickType. This feature is developed to predict which word you will type next. And it really works, I must admit.
WWDC 2014 Keynote is Now Available on YouTube
Apple has posted a high-resolution video of Monday's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote to YouTube. This happened several hours after the same video appeared on Apple's official website. You may watch it below.
20 iOS 8 Features I'm Waiting for
Yesterday I told you about several iOS 8 features I found the most interesting and worth mentioning. Today I shall continue talking about new interesting things connected with Apple's latest mobile operating system for iPhones and iPads.
Monday's WWDC Keynote Video Now Available Online
As you probably know, Apple on Monday announced its new OS X Yosemite 10.10, iOS 8 and a bunch of new features for developers. This happened during the Worldwide Developers Conference keynote. The guys from Cupertino organized a live stream of the event.
iOS 8 Beta vs iOS 7 Comparison [Photos]
Without further ado, here are a load of screenshots showing off iOS 8 and iOS 7 side-by-side:
Apple's New iOS 8 Is Jailbreakable?
Good news for all jailbreakers - looks like Apple's new iOS 8 is jailbreakable. According to what security expert Stefan Esser (aka i0n1c) has tweeted a couple of hours ago, the guys from Cupertino haven't fixed the kernel bug used to jailbreak iOS-devices. This means that immediately after the public release of iOS 8 we may have a jailbreak for it.
Leave a comment, read comments [2]
iOS 8: What's New?
Apple has announced its long-anticipated iOS 8. In this short post I'll try to give you an idea about what new features the guys from Cupertino have added to their operating system for iPhone and iPad. So, let's start.
Watch WWDC 2014 keynote video live
You can watch streaming video from WWDC special event and see all new announcements. It starts June 2nd at 10am PDT. The video will be available
Live streaming video requires Safari 4 or later on OS X v10.6 or later; Safari on iOS 4.2 or later. Streaming via Apple TV requires second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 5.0.2 or later.
Top 10 Stories of the Week
Like every Sunday, I'd like to tell you about the most interesting posts of the last seven days. Let's start.
Photo Showing First OS X 10.10 Banner Appeared Online
Ahead of the long-anticipated Worldwide Developers Conference, which kicks off on Monday, the guys from Cupertino showed us a large OS X 10.10 banner. This may indicate that aside from iOS 8, at WWDC Apple will officially unveil the new version of the operating system for Macs. And that's great, I must say.
iOS 7 Adoption Rate Reaches 89.7% - Chitika Insights
According to the latest report from research firm Chitika Insights, iOS 7 adoption rate has recently reached 89.7%. Such figure is based on the data about web traffic generated by North American iPhone users.
Healthbook, HealthKit and iResearch Are Now Apple's Trademarks
Apple has reportedly filed trademarks for several apps and features from the upcoming iOS 8, namely, Healthbook, HealthKit, iResearch and some other. Apart from the filings related directly to Healthbook, there're some that deal with other iOS features. One of those is the Apple CarPlay trademark, which was filed in February.
New iOS 8 Concept and Widget Blocks [Video]
A concept designer named Jay Machalani has recently created an iOS 8 concept, which allows you to expand icons into special widget blocks. These blocks look pretty similar to Android's Widgets and Microsoft's Live Tiles.
You may take a look at the video showing iOS concept below.
Apple Is Working on Its Mobile Payment Service
According to the latest rumors, the guys from Cupertino are seriously thinking about their own mobile payment service. In fact, they have even begun negotiations with several retail store chains concerning the possibility to launch such a service in near future, insiders claim.
Apple Begins Putting Up Banners Ahead of WWDC Keynote
As you already know, Apple's long-anticipated Worldwide Developers Conference, where the guys from Cupertino may announce their new iOS 8 and "Smart Home" software platform, is set to start next Monday. That is why the guys from Cupertino have begun putting the promotional banners in the Moscone center.

Infected bank computers part of massive botnet, Finjan says
Finjan researchers discovered a botnet of 1.9 million compromised computers at banks, government agencies and other organizations.
Researchers at Finjan said they discovered a massive botnet of 1.9 million infected computers from around the world, including some of the largest U.S. banks.
Finjan discovered the large-scale network of malware-infected computers in February as part of its research into the command-and-control servers operated by cybercriminals, said Ophir Shalitin, director of marketing at the San Jose, California-based security vendor. The command-and-control server for the botnet is hosted in the Ukraine and operated by six cybercriminals, he said.
The botnet, which continues to grow, has infected computers from 77 government domains, including 61 from the U.S., and large corporations, along with large U.S. banks, Shalitin said. Finjan notified law enforcement officials about the compromised systems as well as affected companies and government agencies.
Finjan researchers said the botnet's command-and-control server has a backend management application that makes it easy for attackers to manage the infected machines and order the bots to download additional malware. The malware allows attackers to remotely read emails, copy files, record keystrokes, launch spam attacks and take screen shots.
"They could do almost anything with the infected computer," Shalitin said.
Compromised websites, many of them legitimate, were the source of the malware, he said. Of the computers infected, 45% were from the U.S., according to Finjan.
Web-based attacks were the primary source of malware infections in 2008, according to Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report XIV released earlier this month. Most of these attacks are launched against users who visit legitimate websites rigged with malware, the Cupertino, Calif.-based security vendor said.
Last year, 63% of vulnerabilities documented by Symantec affected Web applications. That's up from 59% in 2007.
Shalitin said there are several steps organizations can take to protect themselves, including installing a secure Web gateway (which Finjan sells), and making sure Web vulnerabilities are patched. Researchers tested one of the botnet's Trojans against 39 antivirus products and found that only four detected it, he said.

When an industry suffers from a problem for decades and still hasn't figured it out, it's likely focusing on the wrong issue. Real estate's "recruiting and retention" problem has consumed millions, perhaps billions of dollars in wasted time, energy and effort. It's apparent that all of the "symptom" solutions and snake oil in the universe won't solve it. So let's try something else: Challenge the premise.
What if there wasn't a recruiting or retention problem in the future?
By now, you probably have guessed that our contrarian logic is back in action. Our starting point is the exact opposite of today's industry standard. Recruiting isn't something to be desired: it's an indicator of systemic problems. Most likely poor performance within the existing sales force.
So too much recruiting, for real estate brokers, is an indicator of a performance management problem.
Retention is mostly a false concept – a problem that rarely exists. Does losing an agent matter? Only if they are a very top producer on a very equitable commission split. Therefore, the problem of retention doesn't exist, because most agents aren't top producers and most top producers have absurdly inequitable commission splits. The attempt to "retain" most top agents represents a bad business decision. Check your own P&Ls for proof.
Still, recruiting and retention remain perennial problems, most because the activities to attract and keep agents focus on the wrong things.
Actually, the wrong "stuff."
Most companies today compete for agents by offering an endless array of "stuff." By now, we should realize that competing for agents on "stuff" is a no win game. You can't buy enough chathkes to satisfy non-performing agents. Even when you invent new stuff all the time, most agents hardly use the stuff you already give them. They just complain that "someone else at another company" has better stuff.
The solution? Do the opposite: Stop the competition of stuff.
Brokers aren't supposed to be giving agents any stuff in the first place, right? Aren't these the same agents who refuse to do what you tell them because they are independent contractors? Then let them bring their own stuff with them! Brokers provide them the legal and market opportunity to ply their trade, upon their customers, since most agents service the customers generated by the broker's marketing dollar.
The first thing brokerages need to understand is that recruiting agents based upon the "give me more stuff or I won't join/stay with your company" creates an unbalanced, no win relationship from day one. It's bad strategy. The "we have most stuff than the other guy" strategy is a fantastically self-defeating business strategy. It can only lead to destructive, misplaced uses of funds, energy and brainpower. It's a formula that tells your marketing, technology and training departments to develop tools focused on the wrong person: the agent, rather than exclusively on the consumer. Significant money and effort is siphoned into creating websites to assuage agent egos. Most of which remain incomplete – unless, of course, the company also provides a secretary to do it for the agents. More stuff.
There will be no satiating the beast. Each recruit will demand more stuff; every potentially-leaving agent ups the ante. Any hint of new "stuff" from a competitor increases the stakes. This week you have "more" tools; next week they have "more" training. Never ending expenses. And all focused internally, rather than on the consumer. Remember, the entire industry thinks it's "all about the agent" – which is why the most prominent thing on an agent's website is – the agent.
Never will there be enough money left over to focus on real performance. Why offer training – to use existing tools – when the focus will be on something new soon?
Of course there is a solution. It's the exact reverse of today's approach. In Real Estate, the Next Generation, it's not about the stuff the broker provides to the agent, it's about the stuff – the right stuff – the agent brings to the broker's table.
To get "hired" as a subcontractor – a vendor partner who will be presented opportunities to earn income servicing the broker's customers – the agent of the future will be expected to come prepared. He will already have completed certifications in critical sales skills like marketing, pricing, negotiation and customer relationship management.
Do we mean agents should compete for slots at a brokerage? Yes we do. Do we mean brokers should make agents compete – based upon skills and experience – to get the opportunity to earn the work? Yes we do. Do we think agents should bring their own laptop, digital camera, MLS account and Blackberry with them before being allowed into the office? Yes we do.
Do we think any of this will really happen in today's brokerages? No, we don't.
Consider an analogous industry: Home Builders use subcontractors, just like brokers use agents. Does the home builder give the electrician tools when he hires him to wire the house? Does he provide the plumber with a wrench? Does he train the electrician before letting him work on the house, or does he expect the vendor to come pre-certified and equipped to do the work?
What we're describing can't possibly happen in today's brokerages, who are still begging inexperienced people to join and experienced people to stay. Who throw money – and stuff – at both, at extreme expense and with ultimate futility – creating more problems than they solve. On the day when agents apply for their jobs – like the real world – is the day the recruiting and retention problem ends. Or at least changes, to the normal patterns of people coming prepared to interview for the job they are applying for.
In the next generation of real estate. You know: The one in which the broker finally makes a profit?
In the meantime – and because this blog is getting too long – what can today's broker's do while drowning in the competition of "stuff against stuff"? Change the rules. Stop competing on commodities. Compete on something that can't easily be overcome by a competitor.
Modern business runs on brainpower. Most stuff like marketing, technology, even marketing dollar, is cheap to come by. Only management knowledge and skills make people better performers. That represents a unique competitive advantage that can't be easily duplicated by competitors. Management coaching, oversight, training and accountability make performance happen. Top agents do this for themselves, so managers must do this for the rest of the agents. Not stuff. Only applied management makes companies competitive, productive.
And that's the only value to sales people: Will your management team make them more productive than the other company's team?
Compete on your people – your managers – for now. It's a step in the right direction – out of the endless war of stuff, and toward a vision of your company where eventually, you'll subcontract to vendors who show up with the right stuff (their stuff) in the first place.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Once Butler contained Isaiah Whitehead after a 23-point first half, beating Seton Hall became more manageable.
Kelan Martin had 23 points and 10 rebounds and the Bulldogs held Whitehead to 0-for-6 shooting and three points in the final 20 minutes in posting an 81-75 victory on Wednesday night.
"We had to find a way to limit Whitehead in the second half because he was a monster in the first half," Butler coach Chris Holtmann said after the Bulldogs (17-7, 6-6 Big East) won their third straight game. "We contributed to some of that, but good players can make you look bad at times, and he did that."
Whitehead was unstoppable in the first half. He hit all eight of his shots from the field, including a career-best seven 3-pointers, the last one tying the game at 38-all at halftime.
Butler adjusted after the break. Point guard Roosevelt Jones did a much better job of preventing Whitehead from getting the ball. Fellow senior Kellen Dunham went to the basket more and scored 15 of his 18 in the second half. And the Bulldogs made the big plays when they needed them with Andrew Chrabascz (11 points) adding a big block in the closing seconds.
"They really tried to take the ball out of my hands," said Whitehead, who finished with a career-best 26 points and matched his career best with 10 assists, nine in the second half. "I just tried trust my teammates and we almost had a shot at the end with me doing that. You really can't complain about that."
Tyler Wideman also had 11 points and Jones 10 for Butler, which shot 56 percent from the field.
Desi Rodriguez added 18 points for Seton Hall (17-7, 7-5), which had a four-game winning streak snapped. Angel Delgado and Khadeen Carrington added 11 points apiece.
Butler, which scored 40 points in the paint, took the lead for good with a 16-4 run early in the second half. Dunham started the spurt with five straight points and finished it with two free throws for a 56-47 lead with 13:37 left.
"Coach is really going to kill us," Whitehead said. "That was probably the worst defensive effort we had all year. I think it was worse than Creighton because it was blatant wide open shots, just giving up open lanes. It was horrible today."
Seton Hall made little runs the rest of the way but it never got over the hump as the Bulldogs hit big baskets at the most crucial times.
Down 64-56, the Pirates scored six straight points to get within 64-62. Martin then calmly hit a 3-pointer to ignite a 7-2 run that pushed the margin to 71-64 with 5:55 to go.
The Pirates made their final run in the final three minutes, scoring six straight points to get to 77-75 when Ismael Sanogo hit 1 of 2 free throws with 1:10 left. Martin missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 49.6 seconds to go but Sanogo lost his handle on the rebound and there was a jump ball, with Butler having the possession arrow. Jones, a senior, then worked the clock down and banked in a running layup high off the backboard with 20.4 seconds to go for a 79-75 lead.
"He's a senior," Holtmann said of Jones. "If he wants to continue to win that's what seniors do."
Chrabascz, who also had five rebounds and six assists, blocked Whitehead on a drive and that was it.
Whitehead was the only reason Seton Hall was tied at halftime. The sophomore had never hit more than four 3-points in a game. His 23 first-half points were a season-high and just two off his career high, set on Dec. 6, 2014 against Rutgers.
Dunham said Butler still has a lot of work to do to get to the NCAA tournament.
"We are definitely not walking into a tournament of that caliber the way we are now," he said. "We're approaching it that we are going to fight our way to get a chance to play in that tournament, that's the goal for most teams."
Butler: Four days after becoming the first Bulldog since the 1983-84 season to record a triple-double, Jones had 10 points, four assists and four rebounds.
Seton Hall: Whitehead came into the game shooting 33.3 percent from 3-point range, making 45 of 135. His shooting from the field overall wasn't much better, making 36.5 percent.
Butler: Home to face No. 5 Xavier on Saturday.
Seton Hall: Visits Georgetown on Feb. 17.

As a shooter rampaged through their school with a semi-automatic weapon, students hiding in lockdown were uploading Snapchat stories to an interactive map - allowing kids around the world to watch the atrocity live.
The recent Snap Map feature allows anyone on SnapChat to zoom in and click on any location around the world to see what people are "snapping" about in that vicinity. It even works with a browser, making it that much more accessible to all ages!
Traumatising Images
The privacy implications are potentially catastrophic, say critics. And the risk that children may be traumatised by the live violence they may encounter is nothing short of chilling.
The use of Snap Map during the Florida school shooting is a stark example of how technology moves so rapidly that features like this can be imposed upon without warning. And then we as a community of parents are left to deal with the implications. It leaves cyber experts like Denise DeRosa speechless.
Parents Unaware and Unprepared
Such developments leave parents utterly unprepared - because at no point in history have we ever been faced with these issues of immediate, un-moderated, unfiltered, live content being forced into our children's awareness.
Violence isn't the threat to children using Snap Map, citing adult-only venues that have begun using the feature to broadcast straight to users - many of them children. Strip clubs even record their performers over the Snap Map to entice possible clients to enter.
Like Giving a Baby a Weapon
Other critics observe Snapchat is exploiting naive users - including children and teens - to gain marketshare. And that Snapchat is doing so without regard for the consequences of such sharing for their own safety or those who may be involved in an unfolding disaster like a live shooting.
"It's the equivalent of giving a weapon to a baby," observes David Vaile, co-convenor of the Cyberspace Law and Policy Community at the University of NSW.
There are two things that make Snap Map different from, say, Facebook Live or other platforms that broadcast in real time. One is how easy it is to access content. The other is the way it pinpoints users' locations.
Also worrying is the potential for staging criminal activities - whether actual events or hoaxes - to gain attention from an audience.
Be a Smart Digital Parent With Cyber Expert Advice
Parents today need to be aware of the dangers of digital media but they can't all be experts at it. That's why Family Zone cyber experts warned parents to edit setting on the SnapChat app as soon as it came out, mid 2017.

"By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Nestlé Health Science and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. As a participant in this contest, I also received a free trial sample of ProNourishTM, a low FODMAP nutritional drink developed by Nestlé Health Science. I was not compensated for my time."
I am so excited to post this recipe. I am entering a contest sponsored by Nestlé Health Science to develop recipes for those on a FODMAP diet. If you aren't on a low FODMAP diet, you probably have never heard of this.
FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides And Polyols. If I haven't lost you, allow me to explain. There are some individuals who experience major digestive issues when they eat certain foods. Researchers in Australia have developed a list of foods that seem to be the main culprits.
FODMAPs are carbohydrates that have a certain chemical structure – are you still with me? These types of foods are rapidly broken down in the gut and produce rather undesirable symptoms. Some of the foods are the usual suspects, like milk and beans, but also some surprising foods, such as dried fruit and watermelon.
Back in the day, we used to refer to those who had digestive issues as having a "sensitive stomach", well, FODMAPs may be the answer to their woes. I have only counseled a few clients since FODMAP diets became mainstream, but it seems to be effective. The frustration of not knowing what to eat for these individuals can be overwhelming and can lead to fear of food and can jeopardize their health.
Not every food will elicit the same reaction with every person. It takes some time to understand what your body can eat and what it can't. For my clients with digestive sensitivities, elimination diets have been the answer. After all of the "forbidden" foods have been eliminated and the body has been given a chance to recover, slow reintroduction of one food at a time can help bring some normalcy back to the diet and find the individual foods that should be taken out of the diet for good.
Nutrition is a science, regardless of how elementary most make it seem. Sometimes it takes careful observation and patience and a personalized eating plan to get back to optimal health.
I'm such a nerd, I loved reading all the information about FODMAPs from Nestle's site. AND I love that they provide the scientific evidence to support it. The reason why they sponsored this contest is because they have a new nutritional drink specifically for those who need to follow a low FODMAP diet.
I'm not going to lie, it was a challenge to create a recipe for this contest. I put garlic and onions in everything and I'm a lover off all things containing lactose, none of which I could use in this recipe. Low lactose cheeses in small amounts are good, so I got away with a tiny bit of feta. Here's what I have to say about this recipe:
"This recipe was developing using low FODMAP ingredients but the recipe itself has not been tested for its FODMAP content."
Yep, it had to be said. But here's my advice. If you have digestive issues and it seems like everything you eat causes you to have all of the undesirable symptoms of gastrointestinal upset, then try this diet. It's not a weight loss diet, or a fad diet, it's a lifestyle diet and it's totally doable. There are a ton of healthy foods that stay in your eating plan while taking out the ones that your body has decided to revolt against.
Lucky for you, there are registered dietitians out there who are developing recipes with low FODMAP ingredients to help. Even if you don't need to follow a low FODMAP diet, these recipes are the bomb.
So, let me give a quick run down of the recipe:
I started with bell peppers, they were the base of the sauce:
I added the canned tomatoes and I used fire roasted diced tomatoes, I think they give great flavor, along with salt, some paprika and a bay leaf and let this simmer while I cooked the polenta. I didn't use onions, garlic or black pepper as onions and garlic are not included in the FODMAP diet and black pepper can sometimes be an irritant for those with digestive sensitivities.
Next, I made the polenta. I used water, but if you make homemade broth, that is absolutely what you should use. Store bought broth can be made with high FODMAP foods, so I left it out. Polenta takes about 25 minutes to come together, so it's the perfect addition to a sauce that needs a little time to simmer.
Those little black flecks are just part of the polenta, no hidden ingredients here. This is the beginning of making the polenta…
…and here is it coming together nicely. I added some parmesan cheese and salt to give it a little flavor, well, because unseasoned polenta doesn't taste as good.
I cooked up some eggs and topped this beauty with some cilantro and feta. My kids and husband loved it. This was a no leftovers night in our house.
- 2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
- 14 oz can of fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup uncooked polenta
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 3 cups of water, or homemade broth
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 5-6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- cilantro or basil for garnish
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and bell peppers
- Saute for 5 minutes or until soft
- Add tomatoes, salt, paprika, bay leaf and water
- Bring to simmer and simmer for at least 15 minutes
- In a separate pot, add polenta, butter and salt over medium heat
- Add water or broth, 1/2 cup at a time and stir constantly, allowing the polenta to absorb the liquid
- When it has absorbed all of the liquid, add parmesan cheese and stir
- Set aside and prepare to cook the eggs
- In a medium skillet over medium low heat, spray with non stick spray and crack eggs into the skillet, cook on one side until the eggs start to bubble and flip to finish cooking on the other side – about 30 seconds longer
- Serve the polenta in a bowl, topped with the tomato ragout and 1 egg per person
- Top with feta and cilantro for garnish


text: Last Minute Gobbler Melissa Bachman - June 03, 2011 Bachman's 2nd Illinois Tom If anyone is still turkey hunting right now you probably know all about hunting educated birds. These guys are not falling for any more clever tricks and have become very wary and difficult to hunt. Theses gobblers have been called at, spooked, and shot at so if they get a bad feeling, they immediately retreat. With that said, turkey season is still open in some states and I'm not going to sit at home just because the hunting gets a little tough.Welcome to 5th season in Illinois. Instead of this state being called the Land of Lincoln I think they need a new slogan, Land of Ticks. I won't even get mad if they take my idea, in fact I can probably provide some great tick shots if needed! After hunting for three days and not even seeing a bird, the last day I started second-guessing myself. I was contemplating getting out of the blind and doing a little run and bow hunting. If these turkeys couldn't come to me, maybe I would have to bring the game to them. As I unzipped the blind I looked back onto the field one last time before getting out and saw a big gobbler coming right out of the woods onto the field! My blind door was wide open, all my front windows were down and now I was staring at a huge gobbler closing the distance to my decoys. There was no time to zip up the blind door so I grabbed my bow, resituated and waited for this big boy to come in. I'm not sure if there is such a thing as turkey fever but if there is, I was getting close to it at this point. I felt completely unprepared but the camera was rolling and my bow was in my hands. Movement was critical at this point, because the darkness of the blind was gone. There was as much light in my blind as if I was sitting out in the open! As the gobbler came within 20-yards of my decoys something spooked him. I'm not sure if he saw movement in the blind, my cameraman changing the light on the camera, or what but he decided he had enough. He turned and started heading back to the woods. I drew my bow and made a shot that I feared was a little far back. I immediately bolted out of the blind to find my gobbler down only 40-50 yards away with another tom already on him pecking the dead bird! Even though the shot was a little far back the turkey was quartering away enough that my rage broadhead had enough penetration to go all the way through him taking out his vitals. This was the last day of the season and absolute proof that gobblers can come in anytime. It's almost hard to believe I hunted for days on end, and then when I decide to unzip my blind, a gobbler decides to stroll onto the field. That's ok though, because I still love my gobblers all the same whether they show up on the first or last day of the hunt.

If you see something that belongs in the direction you are heading take it with you and drop it off in the room or area it needs to be. You can see how this would help fast! Don't be afraid to get the family or roommates involved, it only makes everyone's areas easier to manage. Have a couple of baskets to sort the items to help bring them to their destinations. Basket and file divider station or area set aside to collect daily items like book bags and lunch boxes.

O glorious Day 5! Sunlight and dry Towpath! Dawn frightened us. Harper's Ferry from Hancock is longer even than Hancock from Cumberland, and after the "Long Slog" (that is the name of Day 4) we were exhausted in legs and spirit. Our quads ached. And now we faced another longer day of staring right over our handlebars […]

Cumberland, MD is the transfer city, where the Great Allegheny Passage ends and the C&O Towpath begins. Day 3, we zoomed down through the Cumberland Narrows, the gap up into mountains and on to Pittsburgh and the Ohio River, the pass that connected the East with what was then called the "West" of the U. S. […]

We bought new bikes (Trek hybrids), bought spare inner tubes, and headed up to Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Just outside Morgantown, we saw this rainbow. A good sign, right? Not with water but fire next time. Apocalypse by fire is a scary prospect, but you want sunshine on a 330-mile bike ride, so we were encouraged. […]

All I will say is...I understand. I've been to the brink of that abyss. I thought the darkness that beckoned would be so much better than the crushing, perpetual anguish that bored into my soul. But it is, as Andarko Police Chief Jason Smith said, a permanent fix to a temporary problem.
If you ever find yourself at that brink, please...step back. Call a family member or a close friend. At the very least, call 1-800-273-TALK(8255). Please.

The Taoiseach needs to clarify his comment in the Dáil this afternoon that a file on the bank guarantee was 'either shredded or has been disposed of or dispatched of', according to Fianna Fáil Finance Spokesperson Michael McGrath.
Deputy McGrath stated, "During Leaders' Questions in the Dáil this afternoon, the Taoiseach suggested that files on the bank guarantee decision of September 2008 may have been shredded.
"The Taoiseach needs to clarify whether he has any evidence that files on the bank guarantee have been shredded, and if so, whether he has referred the matter to the Gardai. If he has no such evidence, then the comments should be withdrawn. Surely the civil servants working for the Taoiseach could clarify for him the existence of such a file?
"It ill behoves the Taoiseach to cast aspersions in this way on persons that could include serving and former civil servants, his predecessor as Taoiseach and former government ministers – one of whom is deceased.
"The Taoiseach was clearly uncomfortable today when pressed on his failure to articulate any coherent strategy on bank debt. However, it is not good enough for the Taoiseach to respond to this by coming into the Dáil and making flippant comments about the possibility of files in his Department concerning vital government decisions being shredded. I very much hope he will clear up this matter quickly."

N° 49–2015: Call for Media: ESA DG's annual introduction and EDRS information session
11 December 2015
On Friday, 15 January, ESA Director General Jan Woerner will meet the media to provide an overview of ESA's achievements in 2015 and the opportunities ahead in 2016. The briefing will take place at ESA headquarters.
A background briefing on EDRS, the European Data Relay System, will follow (see ESA PR 50-2015).
The Director General will introduce another year of ESA highlights in all space domains, demonstrating the strength of European space activities both far away in our Solar System and right here on Earth.
For science, two distant missions can be expected to dominate the headlines.
Currently between Mars and Jupiter, the Rosetta mission with the Philae lander has captured the world's imagination for the last two years. In 2016 it will provide more scientific discoveries before coming to a symbolic end with the Rosetta orbiter joining Philae on the surface of comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
ExoMars, a joint mission between ESA and Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, will open a new era for Europe, moving from remote observation to in situ surface exploration of Mars.
The first ExoMars mission, to be launched in March for arrival in October 2016, comprises the Trace Gas Orbiter, which will attempt to determine the biological or geological origin of important trace gases on Mars and the EDM module (the Entry, Descent and Landing demonstrator), which will test key landing technologies needed for the 2018 mission and future missions on Mars.
Much closer to home Earth, the year will begin with the launch in January of the first payload (EDRS-A) of the European Data Relay System, a public–private partnership between ESA and Airbus Defence & Space.
EDRS, which will relay data from satellites in non-geostationary orbit, will dramatically increase the speed of transmission, allowing for near-realtime services on a global scale.
Continuing within telecommunications from geostationary orbit, ESA is also looking forward to another public–private partnership being launched last quarter 2016: SmallGEO.
SmallGEO is a general-purpose modular geostationary platform that is giving European industry the opportunity to play a significant role in the commercial telecom market.
SmallGEO's first use is for Hispasat's Advanced Generation-1 (AG1) satellite, a public–private partnership between ESA and the Spanish operator that will provide Spain, Portugal, the Canary Islands and the Americas with faster multimedia services.
ESA's strong partnership with the EU will result in several launches during the year.
It will see the launch in October of the next four Galileo satellites, for the first time on an Ariane 5 rocket, bringing the total number of satellites in space to 16 and opening initial services.
The Copernicus Earth observation programme, a joint initiative of ESA and the European Commission, will see the launches of several satellites.
Sentinel-3A, to be launched in January, will measure sea-surface topography, sea- and land-surface temperature, and ocean- and land-surface colour for ocean forecasting, and for environmental and climate monitoring.
Sentinel‑5P, to be launched in May or June, will measure elements of atmospheric chemistry at high temporal and spatial resolution, and increase the frequency of cloud-free observations required for the study of troposphere variability. In particular, it is expected to measure ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide and aerosols.
The year will also see the launch of the second member of two pairs of Copernicus satellites. With Sentinel‑1B (April) and Sentinel‑2B (end of year) in orbit, Europe will have optimal coverage and data delivery from the advanced radar and the high-resolution multispectral camera, respectively, on the satellites.
Further down in low orbit, the International Space Station will see continuing science experiments and host two ESA astronauts this year. Tim Peake, ESA British astronaut, is already working on the orbiting research complex and will return to Earth in June. Thomas Pesquet, ESA French astronaut, will lift off in November for a long-duration flight of six months.
On Earth, Europe's spaceport in French Guiana will maintain a high launch cadence in 2016, using the launcher family of Ariane 5, Soyuz and Vega for commercial and governmental customers. The launch complex for Ariane 6 is also under development, located just north of the Ariane 5 launch pad.
Media can also look forward to several events during the year.
The Living Planet Symposium in Prague is promising to be the largest Earth observation symposium in the world, with over 2700 abstracts submitted.
ESA will also participate as usual in the airshows in Berlin (ILA) and the United Kingdom (Farnborough).
The year will culminate with the ESA Council at Ministerial Level in December, this time hosted in Lucerne, Switzerland, which is expected to give fresh impetus to existing and new ESA programmes.
Further information
For more information and dates of activities, ESA Media Relations is updating the Media Calendar and list of official dates for upcoming launches. Both are available on the dedicated media site on ESA's Internet portal: http://www.esa.int/For_Media

Miami Dolphins fans certainly had a lot to curse about during last night's game, though few of us had the duties of announcing the game live on television. ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski, a former Dolphins player, officially turned the broadcast into a shit show when he let out the four-letter expletive while reacting to Chad Henne's play.
"Shit, you have to get rid of this ball just a split second quicker," Jaworski said.
Of course, he's now apologized.

"A little earlier in the show when Chad Henne was making a throw, I said an inappropriate word. I want to apologize, and I hope I didn't offend anyone," he said.
Jaworski was briefly a Dolphins quarterback. He was a backup for Dan Marino in the 1987 and 1988 seasons.
As of press time, the Dolphins' defense has not apologized for playing like shit.

The First World War and the Strict Baptist communities
'Amid this gigantic sorrow' The First World War and the Strict Baptist communities
by Dr Kenneth Dix and Judith James
How did churches react to the First World War, and how did the war affect them? Why did the Pastor of a Strict Baptist church get sent to Dartmoor Prison? How did soldiers from a strict religious background cope with the war?
In 1914 there were about 600 Strict Baptist churches. From 1914 to 1918, the pages of the Strict Baptists' magazines included not only the usual sermons, spiritual writings and details of church anniversaries, but also comments on the war, details of soldiers who had enlisted from the churches, and letters and memoirs from those soldiers.

Yes it does. It's uhub7 (see dmesg of original email). I don't see it happening with another OS, mostly because I only use another OS when I'm blackmailed to do so (which doesn't happen that often). Plugging it out and re-in solves the issue. About the weather induced static (dryer air etc), could well be, then again I'm not that long running on 5.99.3 and never saw it happening before IIRC. But the static would explain it well and I think it's been different time periods it took to drop out of working mode so I'll go with that for the time being. Thanks, -Martin
