What Are the Reasons for a Blood Transfusion?
Your doctor has told you that you need a blood transfusion and perhaps you do not understand why. There are different types of blood components that are transfused in anemia, trauma, clotting abnormalities and chronic blood loss. A few other conditions also warrant a transfusion. Each component has its own reasons for being transfused.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Whole Blood Transfusion Reasons
One reason for a whole blood transfusion is for a baby receiving a complete exchange transfusion. Otherwise, whole bags of donor blood are rarely transfused. The blood is broken down into components for ease of storage and use. A blood center processes a donor unit and distributes the various components to area hospitals and clinics for specific transfusion reasons.
Packed Red Blood Cells Transfusion Reasons
Packed red blood cell transfusions are given to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the patient's blood. There may be several reasons why your blood supply is low. You may have a low hemoglobin and hematocrit reading (anemia), loss of blood during surgery or trauma, or bleeding internally in the intestines. The loss of blood may be sudden (acute) or slow (chronic). A packed red blood cell transfusion is almost always necessary for a blood loss of more than 30 percent. Transfusions are indicated when the blood pressure decreases and the heart rate increases during an episode of bleeding. Chronic anemia patients may not need a blood transfusion if they are not showing symptoms of a crisis. Chronic anemia should be treated with methods other than transfusions.
Patients with coronary artery disease may also need a transfusion 2. It has been shown that this will increase heart function and produce a better recovery rate than patients with this disease who are not transfused.
Fresh Frozen Plasma Transfusion Reasons
You may need a fresh frozen plasma transfusion for an overdose of coumadin, warfarin or other blood thinners. Blood thinners don't actually thin blood; they inactivate certain clotting factors that cause your blood to clot too easily. To check your clotting factors, a doctor will order lab tests such as the Prothrombin Time (PT) or the Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT). If these results are abnormal, you will need a fresh frozen plasma transfusion. Fresh frozen plasma is the top part of a donor unit after the cells are "packed." It is a yellowish fluid that contains clotting factors.
Platelet Transfusions
Platelets are the little cells in your blood that form a scab when you get a scrape or small cut. Circulating platelets can get used up in certain situations like a severe trauma, a complicated nose bleed, or if you are taking drugs for cancer. Platelets are also affected by aspirin and some prescription drugs. Your doctor should tell you if you are on one of the platelet inactivating drugs as it is dangerous for you if you are injured. A platelet transfusion will replace your missing or inactivated platelets so you can stop bleeding.
Cryoprecipitate Transfusions
Another component of donor plasma is a clotting factor known as Cryoprecipitate (Cryo). Cryo is most often transfused to replace specific clotting factors. Factor VIII deficiency and Factor XIII deficiency are part of the coagulation cascade and can be genetically missing or damaged and must be replaced artificially. Von Willebrand disease, low fibrinogen levels, and Hemophilia A are other types of clotting factor deficiencies.
White Blood Cell Transfusion
A white blood cell transfusion is rare. It is reserved for patients with a very low white blood cell count, and an infection unresponsive to the appropriate antibiotics. White blood cells can trigger allergic reactions and antibody formation to the foreign cells.

Ease of use
From the beginning the passenger app was designed to be very simple to use. Most passenger booking apps present a lengthy form that requires a lot of information to be inputted at the same time. This creates an unnecessary cognitive load. We conceived an experience where each step of the process has its own screen with simple and bold interactions.
We separated ourselves from some Android or iOS navigational patterns in order to create a unique experience that would encourage users to come back to the app. Following there are views from three main parts of the app: main flow, user onboarding and sign-up.

Those Finns who fired guns after a dead man
[...] Those Finns who fired guns after a dead man had another expedient for holding him fast, and that was to nail him down in his coffin. The Arabs tie his legs together. The Wallacks drive a long nail through the skull; and this usage explains the many skulls that have been exhumed in Germany thus perforated. The Icelanders, when a ghost proved troublesome, opened the grave, cut off the dead man's head, and made the body sit on it. That, they concluded, would effectually puzzle it how to get about.

Finland was becoming a German province
Finland was proclaimed a republic in December, 1917. It has always been one of the most democratic countries in Europe. It is asserted, nevertheless, that the experiences through which the former grand duchy has passed in the last six months have converted many classes of the population to monarchism. A Stockholm dispatch dated May 8 declared that a monarchy would probably be proclaimed in Finland, and that Duke Adolph Frederick of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, uncle of the Crown Princess of Germany, would be appointed King.

Ruder places than these isles
A Finlander with whom I parleyed told me his country could show ruder places than these isles, and that the winters there were longer and colder. Parson Tucke used to say the winters at the Shoals were "a thin under-waistcoat, warmer" than on the opposite main-land. Doubtless the Orkneys or Hebrides equal these islands in desolateness and wildness of aspect, but they could scarce surpass them.

A servant girl in Finland was suspected
"Not long ago a servant girl in Finland was suspected of having secretly given birth to a child. She was watched, and a box of which no one knew anything was found in the corner of the loft, behind some bricks. It was opened and inside was found the body of a new-born child which she had killed. In the same box were found the skeletons of two other babies which, according to her own confession, she had killed at the moment of their birth.
"Gentlemen of the jury, was she a mother to her children? She gave birth to them, indeed; but was she a mother to them? Would anyone venture to give her the sacred name of mother? Let us be bold, gentlemen, let us be audacious even: it's our duty to be so at this moment and not to be afraid of certain words and ideas like the Moscow women in Ostrovsky's play, who are scared at the sound of certain words. No, let us prove that the progress of the last few years has touched even us, and let us say plainly, the father is not merely he who begets the child, but he who begets it and does his duty by it.

He received two decorations for the Finnish war also
In the Finnish war he also managed to distinguish himself. He had picked up the scrap of a grenade that had killed an aide-de-camp standing near the commander in chief and had taken it to his commander. Just as he had done after Austerlitz, he related this occurrence at such length and so insistently that everyone again believed it had been necessary to do this, and he received two decorations for the Finnish war also. In 1809 he was a captain in the Guards, wore medals, and held some special lucrative posts in Petersburg.
Though some skeptics smiled when told of Berg's merits, it could not be denied that he was a painstaking and brave officer, on excellent terms with his superiors, and a moral young man with a brilliant career before him and an assured position in society.
Rosy cheeks and bodies as fat as seals
"The Finlanders and Laplanders, who are not troubled with such religious prejudices, give rosy cheeks and bodies as fat as seals to their dolls.
"The French toy represents the versatility of the nation, touching every topic, grave or grotesque.
"From Berlin come long trains of artillery, regiments of lead, horse and foot on moving tramways.

The calamity had happened in Finland
And then, as a last ghastly memory, there was the letter from Moscow, in which she wrote that she could not return home; that she was a miserable, abandoned woman, asking only to be forgiven and forgotten. Then the horrid recollection of the scene with his wife came to him; their surmises and their suspicions, which became a certainty. The calamity had happened in Finland, where they had let her visit her aunt; and the culprit was an insignificant Swede, a student, an empty-headed, worthless creature--and married.
All this came back to him now as he paced backwards and forwards on the bedroom carpet, recollecting his former love for her, his pride in her. He recoiled with terror before the incomprehensible fact of her downfall, and he hated her for the agony she was causing him. He remembered the conversation with his sister-in-law, and tried to imagine how he might forgive her. But as soon as the thought of "him" arose, there surged up in his heart horror, disgust, and wounded pride. He groaned aloud, and tried to think of something else.

Baccalà is a traditional Christmas Eve favorite in Italy—it's great as an appetizer or as a main course. Check out our many baccalà recipes for inspiration.
Cod is no ordinary fish. For one thing, it has the dubious distinction of being one of the only fish that naval battles have been fought over. Fished by the Vikings in the cold North Atlantic seas almost 3000 years ago, cod has been at the center of trade wars for centuries. Another curious fact about this fish is that it goes by a lot of different names; the different names refer to the different methods of conservation: it's "cod" (or merluzzo in Italian) when it is fresh or frozen; when it is air cured, it's referred to as "stockfish" or stoccafisso; and finally, if it is salt cured, it's known as baccalà. Once so abundant, it saved millions from famine, but today cod is more scarce and popular as ever—appreciated for its versatility and as a precious source of proteins, minerals, unsaturated fats and Omega 3.
The nomenclature for cod is not simple—in fact, it's a bit of fish story in itself—just try to keep in mind that stoccafisso and baccalà are in fact the same fish: cod. Norway's unique climatic conditions of low temperatures, dry air and a low amount of precipitation are perfect for air-drying cod in open tents. Cod preserved in this way can last for years. This natural method has been used for centuries, and Norwegian stockfish is still considered the best in the world. Baccalà—or cod preserved in salt—was introduced much later by the Basques, and became a common preservation method. But many famous Italian recipes, especially in the Veneto region, actually call for Norwegian stockfish.
The Campania region, which includes the city of Naples, boasts the highest consumption of both stockfish and dried salted cod in Italy; legend has it that there are 365 different ways to eat baccalà in Naples. (By the way, to further complicate the story, all these dishes are referred to as baccalà—even when stockfish is used.) Anyway, whether you use stoccafisso or salt-preserved baccalà, it's important in both cases to be sure you're buying a good quality, well-preserved product. Baccalà needs to be soaked in clean fresh water for at least 48 hours, changing the water every eight hours or so. Stoccafisso usually must first be pounded with a wooden mallet to break the fibers, and then soaked like baccalà, but for longer—a minimum of 72 hours. Once the merchants used to do all this preparatory work for you, but today it's much more rare. In my childhood, it was a common scene in Venice—and Naples and Rome—to see huge buckets of stockfish or salted cod, with a hose stuck inside, the water overflowing all over the street.
In Veneto, baccalà is considered a real delicacy: Baccalà alla Vicentina (slowly braised with onions, anchovies and milk) and Baccalà Mantecato (an elaborate preparation with extra virgin olive oil, lemon and parsley) are always served with polenta and are beloved regional recipes. Traditionally, baccalà was eaten on Fridays—when meat was forbidden for religious reasons—and on Christmas Eve. Some other popular baccalà dishes are Baccalà alla Livornese (with tomatoes, garlic, parsley and basil), which is served in Tuscany; Baccalà Fritta (usually fried in a simple egg and flour batter, but sometimes whipped egg whites and flour are used), which is prepared in Rome; and Baccalà alla Napoletana in Naples (the baccalà is fried and then placed in a simmering tomato sauce, with olives, capers and pine nuts). Often the fish is combined with different vegetables—from tomatoes or peppers to eggplants or potatoes—as in Baccalà con le Patate (see recipe below). The flaky texture of the fish and its unusually intense flavor—which is never fishy—makes this dish an unforgettable delight.

While planning my trip to Rajasthan, apart from all the forts, palaces, princely styles and grandeur, I was looking forward to some authentic taste. I have long heard about the Laal Maas, the traditional meat dish of the royals and the ghee dripping vegetarian delicacy of Dal Baati Churma and had a bite and more in some restaurants in other parts of India attempting to be authentic. 2 tastes from Rajasthan; one fiery red with passion and valour, challenging our palate and the other triggering our urge to discover taste and sweetness in the simplest of food both od which left me burping for more !!
Tastes of Rajasthan ~ Fiery Red Laal Maas
The Laal Maas in Jaipur was spicy to say the least. A meat dish (goat, lamb) prepared with onion, garlic and lots and lots of red chilly paste that renders the colour, it is the staple food of the valiant warriors over centuries. The first gulp of Laal Maas with a piece of ghee soaked Naan burnt down my throat and I quickly cooled it off with a sip of water. I relished the next few bites allowing my system to adjust to the spice. As I dug into the chunks of meat, which were incredibly soft and tasty coupled with the fiery spice, I realised that the valiant warriors had a a soft side to them as well which reflected in the food but it was definitely not for the faint hearted. The cool breeze on the terrace garden restaurant just added to the princely taste I must add.
The best place to get an authentic taste of Laal Maas in Jaipur is Niros / Handi around M.I Road area.
Tastes of Rajasthan ~ Ghee Soaked Dal Baati Churma
One of the best Dal Baati Churma I tasted was in Jaisalmer. On a hot November afternoon, after exploring parts of the Jaisalmer Fort, I decided to hang around in Desert Boys Dhani. After a few minutes of indecision of what to have, I found my way under a tree and dug into their famed Dal Baati Churma.
The Dal was a mix of different kinds of lentils which were mildly spiced, accompanied with the freshly roasted Baati and a full bowl of Churma(sweet).
The Baati is a ball of flour dough that is roasted in a country oven. The baati is broken, soaked in ghee and had with the dal. The best baati's are those that are well cooked inside and properly roasted inside.
As I sat there, enjoying the views of the fort blazing under the afternoon sun, some unexpected guests showed up at my table. I offered a spoon of the uber sweet, dry churma generously mixed with dry fruits. Soon, I had other guests, some feathered and some soft tailed enjoying their afternoon meal with me. This local delicacy, is the food of the common man but gives a glimpse of the life in the desert where water is scarce but ghee (clarified butter) is ample and amid all the scarcity there is always sweetness.

The Point of UNCLOS Over Philippine and China Dispute
The Philippines, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Brunei and Vietnam are competing control over some areas in the South China Seas. Lately, people are hearing about Philippines and China dispute covering South China Sea. This case is believed to be settled through the binding arbitration of UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea).
UNCLOS permits the nations for claiming EEZ or Exclusive Economic Zone that expands 200 nautical miles away from the nation's territorial sea. But UNCLOS is not the main reason regarding the China and Philippine dispute.However, the reason for the dispute between China and the Philippines is the maritime boundary.
Because South China Sea is occupied with hundreds of rocks and islets, the problem arises how they can separate the overlapping claims to the seas coming from the island claims. That is the reason why UNCLOS is getting involved with the dispute issues.
The problem with China and the Philippines is they do not both agreed over the issue on which rocks or island belongs to whom. UNCLOS is the suitable medium in assessing the extent of several claims of the seas and clearly define and accept claims of the territories.
Regarding the International Law, all nations have their rights for ratifying treaties by reservations and this is under the case of UNCLOS. No matter if Philippines or China ratified UNCLOS in full, the fact is only few nations that has been ratifying UNCLOS did without qualifying UCLOS declarations.
Philippines have the hopes of putting the bilateral dispute over China with regards to ownership of the islands and waters near the Philippine coasts according to international arbitration. The Philippines asked UNCLOS for adjudicating the validity of China's nine-dash line to show what they claim as their jurisdiction. The result states that the claim has overlapped with the 200 miles economic exclusion zone of the Philippines. Up to this time, this issue is still under the case.

Dolphin energy is a metaphor for a capability within the human mind that is not limited to human consciousness, an intelligent yet universal energy. Share the power of group dynamic meditation and make a difference! In 1991, The Monroe Institute® (TMI) established the Dolphin Energy Club (DEC) on this very principal – to promote emotional and physical comfort in times of need using the special frequency patterns of Hemi-Sync®. When TMI's DEC receives a request for support, members are contacted to focus positive thoughts and healing energy on that person's behalf.
A Promise Kept

Dolphin Energy Club Experience
"On February 1, 1993, Bob's wife June phoned to request energy to assist his healing (they are Dolphin Energy Club members). For over two months this man had suffered from pervasive neuralgia with painful, inflamed joints–shoulders, hands, knees, and ankles. The symptoms began after an influenza immunization, but doctors also suspected post-polio syndrome. Ten fellow DEC members were requested to direct energy to Bob from February 6th through February 20th."

Dolphin Energy, Hemi-Sync®, And Prayer: An Unbeatable Combination
by Stuart Mills

Dolphins Start With the Heart
by Shirley Bliley
The Institute's Dolphin Energy Club (DEC) received a request to provide healing support to a fifty-five-year-old woman with sarcoidosis (scarring of the lungs). The condition was responsive to steroids; however, it worsened with stress. Two members of her ten-person DEC team made pertinent observations. One noted darkness around the lungs and adrenals and an immune system depleted by stress, while another saw "a casing like an eggshell around [her] field" that blocked her ability to give and receive love fully. This same DEC member added, "It looks like she's maybe on the verge of creating something harmonious and wonderful." The recipient's own comments show that both were "on the mark."

AAVV – Sad Stonewash by Luke Wyatt
Sad Stonewash by Luke Wyatt is now released by the video label AAVV.
"I select video to appropriate based on its mood resonance or compositional zing. My VCR gets beat up with a size 13 docksider until it makes errors and the VHS tape spits up on itself. While digitizing the video I induce the computer to make mistakes by not telling it the truth about the data it is ingesting. I isolate the mistakes I like best, outline them, and send them back to my VCR, resuming the docksider attack, repeating this process until things attain an anti-sheen, losing any crisp edge, as if they had always belonged together. I then arrange the images in an order that must appear equally inevitable. I term the results of this technique Video Mulch. For this work, the following was on my mind: languid linen-suit sadness via the stylish poignancy of Michael Mann sunsets. A cold weather cousin sadness to that: the dour, grey, gothic sadness of a few old bands who played chiming delay guitar. Sixth grade sword obsessions (a dream of the sky), meet adult shoe and leg love (hangups of the earth). Both crowns and castles point to the sky (or space), pinnacles and minarets announcing heaven as the place kings should shoot for. Remember how the Voltron castle became a spaceship and lifted off the earth?" Luke Wyatt
Luke Wyatt lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He founded TeamFILO together with James Brophy. They say: "the name FILO stands for Friendly Intervention Liberation Organization; the acronym FILO reminds us, conveniently, of filo (or phyllo) dough, which bakes into innumerable flaky layers. Our intake lens has baked into something similar: we appreciate experience through many layers of irony and parentheses, and spit it back out with these new tags attached." Luke Wyatt was also part of in "Low-Fi for the Eyes".

The intertubes are abuzz with the new Marvel vs. Capcom teaser trailer, featuring Ryu vs. Wolverine, Morrigan vs. Iron Man (Can Tony Stark possibly resist a succubus??) and Hulk vs. Chris Redfield.
Speculation is rife as to what other characters will be playable, old standbys like Spiderman are almost assured to make an appearance but there are so many possibilities and so far all we have to go on are some silhouettes in the Marvel Logo. Deadpool possibly? Who knows?
Spy party preview
Spy Party is an up and coming new game by Spore's Chris Hecker with an original and unprecedented game mechanic.
Two players face up in a situation familiar to all from Spy thrillers and movies. The sniper and the spy. A party is in full swing but among the guests is an enemy agent, concealed as a civilian, and carrying out a specific task. The sniper needs to positively identify the enemy spy and take him out. But he only gets one shot, and one chance to get it right.
"SpyParty is an asymmetric multiplayer espionage game, dealing with the subtlety of human behavior, character, personality, and social mores, instead of the usual spy game explosions and car chases."
The key to the gameplay is a kind of moving realtime turing test. The spy needs to conceal himself among the computer controlled NPCs, while the sniper needs to identify the patterns of movement or actions that reveal which of the partygoers he's watching through his scope is in fact the rival player.
Graphics are still in rough playtesting mode, since the actual game release is still an estimated 2 years away.

Project Antivent – Day Three
One of the challenges I set myself for this list was to limit myself to one piece of music from each game series – one piece of music from, say, Final Fantasy, one from Silent Hill and so on – to ensure a good mix of things. Otherwise I would probably wind up clogging the list up with music from the Shin Megami Tensei series and The World Ends With You and just call it a day. So, representing the entire MegaTen series is Hunting – Comrades from Digital Devil Saga. One of the best pieces of music in a game filled with them, DDS 1&2 have probably the best overall soundtracks in a series renown for its outstanding music. Shouji Meguro, you outdid yourself with this one.

Project Antivent – Day Two
Day two, and this time we have the main battle theme from Shadow Hearts: From The New World. The third game in the Shadow Hearts series has taken a lot of stick for being more slapstick and outright dumb compared to it's previous two incarnations. And, in fairness, they're absolutely right. But one thing that's harder to deny is the quality of its soundtrack, exemplified by Dead Fingers Talk, the main battle theme for the game. Say what you will about the rest of the game, but I will not hear a bad word said against this track.

Top Tax Tip
It doesnt matter what tax strategies you have implemented or how you have structured your business, if you don't have an effective and efficient way of recording all your expenses you will end up paying more tax than you need.
Alot of small business owners hate, and I mean really detest, having to look after the financial side of their business whether they do it themselves or not. This could be you.
However in order to ensure you are claming the maximum amount of tax deductions and therefore paying the lowest amount of tax you need to record them. You also need to record them in a way that is acceptable for the Tax Office.

|Exterior of the Warren Medical Clinic - Photo by Frank Nemecek
I haven't had the privilege of being a patient at this august facility. However, when one looks at how wonderfully the Warren Medical Center maintains the exterior of their property, I can only imagine the diligent concern and care that they have for each and every one of their lucky patients.
I mean really, just look at what is in front of the Warren Medical Center.
|Sidewalk in front of the Warren Medical Center - Photo by Frank Nemecek
I would not be surprised if each of them got down on their hands and knees to celebrate such an experience. It's truly a joy that the Warren Medical Center has brought to Detroit.
I'm even confident that many Detroiters who walk past the Warren Medical Center in its current condition will suddenly realize that they need medical treatment.
I'm confident that I speak for everyone in Warrendale when I say that we are uniquely lucky to have such a place as the Warren Medical Clinic in our little corner of Detroit.

For some reason I expected a bit more explosion (thanks, Hollywood!), but these high speed photography shots capture the fantastic moment when a bullet passes through a drop of water, slicing it in half with a bit of a splash.
Want to know how difficult it is to catch a shot like this? The photographer says that about one-tenth of half the shots taken after a couple of hundred trial shots will be both interesting and usable. [Lex Augusteijn Photography via PetaPixel via Laughing Squid]

Going by current consumer debt numbers, while the economy is continuing to struggle, many are still taking on student loan and auto loan debt. The thought is that as the economy continues to improve, consumers will once again feel confident enough to take on credit card debt.
According to the Federal Reserve, overall consumer debt reached an all time high of $2.74 trillion. This was after an $11.4 billion increase from August until September.
However, while student loan debt continued to increase, credit card debt actually decreased for the third time in the past four months. The thought is that with unemployment still hovering around 7.9 percent, most are still hesitant to take on credit card debt due to the fact that credit cards tend to have higher interest rates.
When looking at just credit card debt, four years ago the overall total had reached $1.03 trillion in debt. In September, the overall figure was 17.1 percent lower than that all-time high.
In terms of unemployment, as just mentioned, the rate was close to 8 percent in October. Of course this is good news compared to the 10 percent peak post-recession, but it is still a ways off from the 6 percent that economists say puts the U.S. in healthy job market standing.
This unemployment rate is also part of the reason that there was an increase in student loan debt. Many who have been laid off or out of work for some time have decided to go back to school. Their plan is to graduate and be able to find a job in their chosen field.

Begins brilliantly, but has incomplete finish
Trap Door Theatre presents:
12 Ophelias: a play with broken songs
by Caridad Svich
directed by Kate Hendrickson
through October 31st (ticket info)
| Ophelia: Do you think my heart is any lesser?
Gertrude: What do you mean?
Ophelia: For being born.
Kate Hendrickson's direction pulls out all the stops for Trap Door Theatre's current avant-garde production, 12 Ophelias: a play with broken songs. Characters emerge from and descend into black pools, suggesting just how close oblivion always is. Projection screens made up of white petticoats hung on a line, when taken down reveal an altogether different space. Musicians stationed in various locations suggest angels, as well as prostitutes, waiting their turn. Above all, rich poetic language and original songs create a potent atmosphere that may carry the production long past the point when characters' psychological motivations fall short of the play's premise.
After floating for centuries, Ophelia (Mildred Marie Langford) emerges in Appalachia, reborn from the water into a world in which Hamlet is now known as Rude Boy (Kevin Lucero Less); Gertrude (Joslyn Jones) runs a brothel; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, simply known as R (Jen Ellison) and G (Casey Chapman), are the brothel's lackeys; and Horatio, now known as H (Noah Durham), spars with Rude Boy in daily camaraderie. It is a world in which Ophelia and Rude Boy/Hamlet seem to have a second chance at love. But there are times when Caridad Svich's reworking seems so far from the original, the two only connect superficially.
For one thing, Langford and Jones exude natural power in their acting. For another, their Ophelia and Gertrude, respectively, are not the weak, timid, easily manipulated women of Shakespeare's work. As much as one appreciates the tremendous beauty in their strength, what should their characters' former lives be to them or to us, if all resemblance breaks with the past? Svich's Ophelia remembers her former life. "I left everyone unblessed," she recalls of her suicide. Yet her ability to relish her robust sexual appetites and her outright pursuit of Rude Boy/Hamlet bear no relation to Shakespeare.
The only characters with any clear correspondence to their pasts are R and G, with memory so retained in their present consciousness, they recite Ophelia and Hamlet's lines in parody before the newly reborn Ophelia. The commentary and interplay between R and G is probably the strongest feature of Svich's work. Their foolery during the song "Lonesome Child," which takes place opposite of Ophelia and Rude Boy/Hamlet's lovemaking, is delightfully inspired.
Sadly, Rude Boy may be the most underdeveloped character of the play. The most layered, erudite, and mercurial protagonist in Shakespeare's pantheon is reworked with utter and brutal reductionism here. Gone is the princely state and Renaissance learning—Svich's Rude Boy/Hamlet is little more than a womanizing thug. His final battle with H is an indulgent act of self-immolation; his eventual rejection by Ophelia reduces him to a pathetic, slobbering mass. About their former romance, Ophelia dismisses him with, "You were just a rude boy." It's a line that utterly breaks with Shakespeare's realized creation. This abridged Rude Boy/Hamlet stacks the deck and buys this Ophelia's empowerment on the cheap.
Amidst lush poetry, it's this dramatic shallowness that belies Svich's shortcomings. At least in this work, Svich shows greater psychological depth in conveying the state of loss and brokenness, rather than any true hope of recovery from it. Even R and G's repeated commentary, "The crushed come back—there is no mending here," loses all dramatic tension to become disproved. Some may revel in that kind of pre-scripted fatalism, but others may wonder what spending 90 minutes with this work was all about, if there was never any hope for healing and love. In spite of the cast's talents and imaginative direction, the audience may walk away feeling cheated.

The Perfect Combination
"There is a special combination that seems to be perfect for this, which is love plus the combination of thanks and appreciation reflected in the English word gratitude. Just one of these is not enough. Love needs to be based in gratitude, and gratitude needs to be based in love. These two words together create the most important vibration." --Masaru Emoto
Today I am thankful for:
1) A walk in the sunshine after DAYS of rain.
2) Nutella-stuffed brown butter + sea salt chocolate chip cookies
3) Watching our dog crawl awkwardly over all other family members on the couch to get to me. (Sometimes it's just nice to know you're someone's favorite :)

Money can crush your creativity.
Not that money is crushing. But the fear, the stress, and all the frustration that can come from money can be overwhelming.
I used to be right there. Counting every penny. Stressing if we were going to make it.
No one wants to experience the anxiety of wondering, even though you are okay today…will you be okay tomorrow?
Creativity isn't the only thing that suffers. Relationships get difficult. And the self-talk…Ugh. The worst.
Have you felt that?
This is the topic we dive deeply into at the Mindfully Alive Retreat.
Here's the trailer for our conversation.
What Is The Mindfully Alive Retreat
My friend, Julie Merrett, artist, Occupational Therapist and coach, is offering something to combat that. I'm honored to be a featured speaker, alongside other experts, and we're coming together to give you our advice on becoming unblocked and living mindfully so you can create more than ever.
You'll walk away with the clarity you need to effectively make the changes that lead to your freedom and fulfillment.
Julie has experienced firsthand the struggle to leave her secure job, start her own business and make a living as an artist. She struggled for 12 years to make that leap, and now, she runs a successful creative coaching practice supporting new creative entrepreneurs and sells her art internationally.
When you go to the Mindfully Alive Retreat and sign up to join us, you'll learn which steps to take now to be mindfully creative and manage your stress so you get the freedom you want and deserve
Join The Conversation
When you sign up for the Mindfully Alive Retreat, you'll be able to see the complete conversation. I share a lot of what was going on for me, and how my family was struggling because of my personal money stress.
Some of what we talk about are a few ideas of how artists can start making money quickly. Today.
That can be useful for creative businesswomen, like us, getting our business started.
Join us at the Mindfully Alive Retreat.
And shine on!

At Smawthorne Henry Moore Primary School, we take pride in the things we do. As a school, we work hard to create an ethos where everyone is equal and we are one big family who works together. The children in our school are taught about what is right and wrong and how their actions can affect others. Bullying is a topic which we cover within our PSHE lessons and through whole school assemblies to promote further understanding. Children throughout school learn what bullying actually is and what they need to do if they find themselves being bullied or witness bullying happening to others.
As part of our work on Anti-bullying, we asked the children to create and design a logo as well as a slogan for an Anti-bullying campaign. The winning entries were decided by Mr Brough, Miss Buckley and Mrs Dixon. All entries, including the winning three designs, have been displayed near the Year 5 classrooms, at the entrance to the Key Stage Two hall.
Where can I find further information?

To view our school Anti-bullying policy please click the link below:
What Our Children Have to Say:
Key Stage One:
"I know that we need to tell someone. We can tell an adult at home, school or even our friends. It can't get better if you don't tell someone."
Lower Key Stage Two:
"I like that school teaches us what to do if we are being bullied. We have had assemblies and lessons about it, so that we can stop any bullies in our school."
Upper Key Stage Two:
"If someone is being bullied, the best thing they can do is tell a teacher. They also need to do this if its their friend that's being bullied, because they might feel too scared to do it themselves. Everyone needs to remember, they wouldn't like it if someone treated them that way."
The Winning Designs:
"I wrote 'Bully-free zone' because that's what I'd like our school to be. If we keep bullying out of our school it will be a happy place to be for everyone. The two girls are holding hands because they're friends and they're being kind".
"I chose to draw a bull because bulls can be fierce, hurtful and they sometimes knock people down. The person stopping the bull is the hero. The hero could be anyone - a child, a teacher, your parents or even yourself. It's anyone who stops a bully by being a kind friend."
"I used the phrase 'speak out' because I think that's the best way we can get rod of bullying completely. If anyone being bullied, or anyone who sees someone being bullied speaks out, the bullies wont be able to hide."

My sister and I co-booked this show. As a tangible extension of the International Girl Gang Underground zine, we have chosen the moniker GIRL GANG GIG VOLUME to keep track of shows we've booked and to maintain contact with other feminists who want to/book punk shows or need their own show on tour in the future. You may recall that this has been on my mind for over a year. This being Jess's first show-booking experience, we thought it would be appropriate to start now! Stacy, co-editor of International Girl Gang Underground is on board too, but we need some time to, y'know, PUT OUT THE ZINE and then figure out the future of both IGGU and GGGV.

To make the wedding a success, not only invitegreat toastmaster, rent a decent cafe and think carefully about the menu. A good holiday is unthinkable without good company, so no guests noisy celebrations will not work. Hence, it is necessary to inform potential guest of the wedding itself, as well as the time and place of its holding. Ways to do this there are many. You can trite to call and make an oral invitation to the wedding guests. But as you know, some people in "one ear to another - takes off." Probably, someone you call at the wrong time, someone will forget the groom's name, and someone - the name of the restaurant. Of course, in the era of mobile phones refinement of such moments is not a problem, but the event will add nervousness.
You can use the Internet and sendwedding invitations by e-mail. It is very convenient, is not worth a dime and opportunities for design provides plenty. Unfortunately, this method has drawbacks:
- Firstly, not all have their own e-mail.
- Secondly, those who have it can simply forget to check the mail.
- Third, is the basic discourtesy - to inform of an important event, Kojima is undoubtedly the wedding, so impersonal way.
So do not be lazy and to save onnormal writing wedding invitations for guests who should give them from hand to hand. To be sure, will not prevent oral duplicate content cards.
So, with the type of wedding invitations for guests, weundecided. There is another question: where to get the forms for the invitation? The simplest solution - to buy the necessary amount of ready-made cards at specialty stores and kiosks. If their design does not suit you - we turn to the printing press, or to individual entrepreneurs engaged in the manufacture of printed products to order. Cost is, of course, will be more expensive, but a visiting such cards will be remembered for a long time. If you please, and there could not, then only one way out: to collect a bunch of brains and stir crazy hands. Time will go a lot, but these wedding invitations after performing their direct functions clearly not go to waste paper, and will be carefully stored as a memory of an important event.
Importantly, do not forget that at your weddingwill be present completely different people with whom you are in a completely different way. It would therefore be unwise to invite all to a postcard design with the same text. If you are too lazy to plan a wedding and then to seek an invitation to each guest personally, divide them into groups (close relatives, friends, colleagues, distant relatives) and pick up for each group for a wedding invitation. If the time at your disposal enough, the wedding is going to be not crowded, and associated with marriage troubles deliver a fun, you can find unique greeting cards for all delegates.
Such differentiation for wedding invitationsguest is not just design cards, and text. In most of the text of the invitations have already been printed, we can only enter the names of the newlyweds, date and place of marriage. That's just such a "factory" texts, even if well-written, usually too formal and a little fit when referring to loved ones. In any case, you can decide how much time and money to spend on invitations.
Especially it is necessary to talk about those young whoHe holds the knot, not only in the registry office, but in the church. On the wedding rarely called all in a row, often there are going to only the relatives and dear people. Therefore, in the invitations, designed to welcome guests at the wedding, check separately the service and the church in which it is performed. All others invite immediately to the registrar or to a restaurant for dinner.
Finally, the sooner you send out and will givewedding invitations, the better: guests will have more time to plan their business, and make time for your marriage. But also it is not necessary to go to far: can simply forget about sent out six months before the event postcards. The optimum period of a month and a half, the latest - two weeks. Sometimes, especially if the wedding invitations are distributed long before the celebration, it makes sense to make a postscript containing a request for a reply to the invitation. In this case, you will know in advance how many guests to expect.

I get outside quite a bit. But then on the other side one doesn't need to damage one skin.
Notice our neighbors to the south of east found place in the town of Bonners Ferry, Up in Marx subdivision.
Good neighbors sorry to see them go. I like soaking up the sun but since they had small children I couldn't total sunbath in my birthday suit.
Until someone moves into the place. I can sit quietly in private in the nude and sock up sunshine.
The trees between the two places don't cover everything.
The old neighbor were nice enough to give us there old firewood what they used in there fireplace. roughly a half of cord of larch and red fir mixed.
We were planning on purchasing a cord of firewood. Still am, which will then give us one and half cords. The half cord is worth about $80 to $125.
Not quite to 1,800 calories I just don't see what I'll be going under that for a while. There a lot of info out there on how much CALORIE we need. I've always thought the ideal of 12 -13 calorie of body weight to loose. 14-15 calorie to maintain your weight, and gain weight one should eat 18 - 19 calorie per pound.
It also depends on how active you are. On fit day I keep track of my nutritional value, and see where I need to improve on.

Using ICT to shape the future long-term
Brave new world: customers book their plane and train tickets at the PC or on their smartphones, innovative carsharing and rental car services are on the advance, transport and logistics providers are a part of global networks. Customers, markets, and companies are all shaped by digital developments and are in a state of flux. Mobility ensures the freedom of the individual, drives economic development forward, and makes growth possible.
Innovation, Flexibility, and Brand Management to Anchor Savings

We plan the organizational and technical realization in collaboration with them and support them during the reorientation of their IT infrastructure, the transformation of their applications in alignment with uniform IT standards, in designing the structure of their supply management, or when planning a sophisticated dialog and campaign marketing approach. There is one goal we never lose sight of during all our projects: profitable growth for our clients!

By applying our knowledge and our comprehensive experience from numerous transformation and ICT projects, we realize intelligent solutions for our clients from the automotive, travel, transport, and logistics sectors. Sustainability, efficient use of resources, and profitability are prioritized along the entire added-value chain and regardless of the employed digital technologies.
Mobility systems in the digital upheaval
Is our value creation moving away?
Expectations for the mobility of the future are high. Mobility systems should not only be able to cope with the constantly growing demand, they should also ensure clean and congestion-free cities and, last but not least, meet the individual needs of every traveller cost-effectively as possible. Whether Mobility-as-a-Service can deliver on this promise is uncertain. However, it becomes obvious that mobility is turning into a service-centric business. This is leading to a radical upheaval in value creation, which questions the existing and offers new opportunities.
At the MÜNCHNER KREIS Symposium on 21/22 March 2019, experts from politics, business and science have discussed the future of mobility in lectures, workshops and network formats, including a lecture on "Mobility of the future and the drivers of change" by our colleague Ludwig M. Haas.

Nick Jonas is working with one half of electronic duo Purity Ring, a year after he revealed he has ditched the purity ring he wore as a teenager to represent his chastity.
Nick Jonas is working with Purity Ring.
The 'Jealous' hitmaker famously wore one of the bands as a sign of his chastity as a teenager while part of the Jonas Brothers but having ditched his ring, he has revealed he is working with an electronic music producer, Corin Roddick, who is one half of a duo of the same name.
He tweeted: ''Amazing session tonight with Corin from one of my favorite groups @PURITY_RING tonight. Can't wait for you all to hear this new music. (sic)''
The 22-year-old hunk is currently working on the follow-up to his eponymous LP and recently unveiled the album's first single, 'Levels'.
Last year, the singer - who has recently been romantically linked to Kendall Jenner and Tinashe following his split from beauty queen Olivia Culpo - confirmed he no longer wears his purity ring but doesn't ''regret'' the jewellery.
He said: ''I don't regret it. I think it was an important part of my childhood and it was that.
''I think as I grew up, I sort of figured out what was important to me and my own belief system. We all grow up and we all live life and find out what's important to us, that's what happened.
''I went on that journey myself and I'm now comfortable with who I am and what I believe in and I'm an adult in all ways.
''Am I still a virgin? No, no. As I said, I'm an adult in all ways and comfortable with who I am.''

|Beef Blogonoff
Beef, as he prefers to be called (because his real first name is Frances or some other Dumbass shit), left a link to his blog in his comment, so I went to check it out. It's damn funny stuff that only a True Dumbass could come up with. The blog entries are short and sweet with a humorous twist, so it literally takes just a few seconds to read.
Beef is fairly new to blogging so he said some nice shit to me so I'd take pity and put his dumb ass on my blogroll and I am just stupid enough to do it. Little does he know however that by associating his name with this blog, he is committing blogging suicide, but what else would you expect from a Dumbass named Beef?
Good luck, Beef! It's good to have another member in the family.
