Devil's Freedom Trailer (2017)
Trailer for Devil's Freedom.
Mexico's ongoing drug wars have already claimed the lives of an estimated 100,000 people. If you include victims who are still alive, the number of those affected is closer to 400,000. In one of the most powerful and honest looks at this crisis, this award-winning documentary gives an intimate and quiet space for the living victims—as well as the perpetrators—to tell their stories of loss, fear and, in some cases, barbarity. With masterful artistic direction, director Everardo González conceals his subjects' identities with chilling faceless masks that bear a resemblance to balaclavas, creating a powerful metaphor for the lack of attention the crisis has received. The storytellers remain faceless, but the depth of emotion emanating from their eyes is a window directly into the soul of the Mexican people and a land ripped apart by catastrophe.

DOVER — Dr.Gary Usher, a Dover neurologist,said migraines are often inherited, although there is not a gene identifying that migraines commonly run in families.
He said teenage years for both genders are typically when migraines can occur, although the age relationship is not yet clear.
"The duration of migraine does not vary significantly with age and when it happens it generally lasts for hours and has the potential to last for several days," Usher wrote in an email to Foster's.
Usher also said 80 percent of migraines occur in females and onset is often at the time of puberty, pregnancy and menopause.
Usher listed a line of triggers for migraine headaches that include women's menstrual cycle, stress and sleep deprivation. Dietary triggers can include alcohol (red wine), and preserved food (aged cheese). Additionally, Usher said scents can trigger a migraine (perfume or cologne).
He said migraines often occur predominantly on one side of the head and often feel like stabbing or throbbing pain. This can lead to nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound.
A "visual phenomena" called an aura in which you see flashing lights, spots, and lines in front of the eyes can precede the headache or occur with it. Types of migraines can include a complex migraine with stroke-like symptoms such as weakness or numbness on one side of the body. A cluster headache can be thought of as a variant of migraine. These tend to be intense pain of shorter duration often occurring at the same time of day for days or weeks in a row.
Usher said there are a variety of treatments for migraine headaches, which can include medications such as Triptan that have proved to be effective and often work well to shut the migraine down within several hours of onset. Nonsteroidal medications such as ibuprofen, or naproxen sodium can also he be helpful. The narcotic category of medications are also used for severe pain. Over the counter medications are the most commonly used.
Usher said by the time a neurologist sees a patient suffering from migraines they have already tried over-the-counter medications.
" If those medications have worked well, they don't usually come to see us," Usher said, adding he advocates for a person not to take these medications on a daily basis as they can actually prolong headaches.
"We advise people to try and avoid narcotics," Usher concluded.

As you all know insecurities are girls worst night mare and can make a person stay in at night instead of going out with friends. Things like "I'm too fat", "My nose is pointy", and "My butt doesn't look big enough" can ruin a girls day.
That's why at Fashom we are all about self love and being confident in everything you wear or do. No way you would ever think the models on stage felt the same way. Wrong. They have image insecurities just like us.
In an ad campaign for D.EFECT clothing, 12 models open up about the parts of them they wish they could change, even though when we look on we see perfection. The ad starts out by saying everything we see will broadcast beauty. You will never see imperfection on camera or on the stage, but most of it will be a better version of that person. Meaning that everyone uses photoshop and editing to make these girls look absolutely perfect.
This standard has been set to make us all watching feel super insecure and miserable. Then during this ad all the models come up and start talking about everything they are insecure about. One starts out with her uneven shoulders, one is upset about her wrinkles, and one is so self conscious about her large nose. This are all things that we as onlookers have to realize that all of these "flaws" are enhanced or photoshopped to make that attribute about them perfect.
Take a look at the video and really soak in that no body is perfect. That we all have imperfections but to embrace them and look at them in a different light. Fashom encourages you to use #NoFilter and show us the real, amazing, beautiful you when posting! Can't wait to see.

International Shipping Process
Overseas shipping containers come in various sizes and construction to accommodate most packing requirements. This container is made out of very heavy duty cardboard and is called a tri-wall half lift van which is 80 cubic feet. Other tri-wall containers range in size from 6.92 cubic feet to 37.7 cubic feet. Notice this tri-wall is strapped to plastic pallets for easy handling. The plastic pallets are utilized so there is problem meeting all of the overseas regulations concerning wood products.
Small overseas shipments that have more cubic feet then the tri-wall containers are usually padded and tightly loaded into plywood liftvans to minimize handling and shifting during transport. The liftvans are designed to fit inside the large steel steamship containers which are then placed on board the container ships. Larger shipments also are loaded into liftvans if they need to be trucked to another port in the country before shipping or needs storage. They are also used when the destination is a port that cannot handle the large steel 20 or 40 foot containers. This minimizes handling and reduces the chance of loss or damage.
Best moving experience we ever had. Entire team professional and courteous. Will use again for any future moves! — Audrey S., 1/21/2020See What 3,383 Customers are Saying
If the shipment is leaving at a port within the area and is large enough to fill the majority of a steamship container, it is padded and loaded directly into the large steel shipping container. They come in 20, 40 and 45 foot long, depending upon the steamship lines and destination, plus some are higher so they have more cubic feet of space for cargo. The container is then trucked to the port and lifted off the trailer to be stacked on board the ship. This shipment was loading out of a warehouse. The large containers can be trucked out and loaded at a residence if adequate parking and access is available.

The Motherhood Manifesto
What America's Moms Want - and What To Do About It
Women shouldn't be discriminated against simply because they are mothers…but they are! The Motherhood Manifesto shares the heartfelt stories of mothers in America who dream of jobs with flexibility and benefits, mothers who can't afford their children's health and childcare expenses, and mothers who, time and time again, are penalized for raising a new generation. From professional women who hit the maternal wall, to childcare workers who can't afford quality care for their own children, this book captures what it means to be a mother in America today. This groundbreaking book also celebrates the successes of companies that have discovered the value of good family policies, families who are making it work, model childcare programs, and legislation that supports families.

Many experts equate a greater degree of physical exercise with heightened sexuality in men. The Korean works in the U.S. for a large firm that provides top-rated health insurance, and it nonetheless sucks in comparison with the national health insurance coverage in Korea. Subscribe to get email (or text) updates with necessary deadline reminders, helpful ideas, and other information about your health insurance coverage. We make it easier to obtain all of those objectives by delivering personalised member engagement and multi-channel health coaching and training that may be tailor-made to the distinctive wants of Medicare, Medicaid, or business populations. About half of these shopping for Obamacare compliant particular person health plans don't receive a subsidy. OUR nation is now engaged in a terrific debate about the way forward for health care in America.
The individuals which can be in opposition to Universal Health Care are; for one, the docs, due to fear of getting paid much less; republicans, as a result of they don't need to share the fee with everyone; the insurance corporations, for fear of getting paid much less.
You do not need any elaborate and costly utensils akin to micro-wave ovens, strain cookers or electrical steamers because steam cooking could be achieved with only a coated pot positioned over a heat supply and the benefits you get is nice for you and on your health.
Open enrollment in the marketplaces to purchase backed personal insurance coverage for 2014 began on October 1st, 2013 and ended March thirty first, 2014 for that yr (extended to April fifteenth for many who qualify for a special enrollment ).
By incentivizing doctors to see many patients at a main care stage, Korean health insurance is most certainly preventing a extra serious and dearer disease down the street. Do not include personal or monetary info like your Nationwide Insurance number or credit card particulars. After you select a plan, you'll be able to enroll online and determine the way you pay your premiums to your insurance coverage company. That health truthful that turned health insurer Cigna's exec, Wendell Potter, around occurred very close to my birthplace in southwestern Virginia. There are not any worries about obscure phrases in insurance coverage contracts that rob you of therapy. So our system would go down until the rich persons are included compulsorily on this public insurance coverage system.

Welcome to our blog! We hope that we can keep this updated during our visit so you can follow us on our adventure.
Maryanne and I have been around all the nurseries to do a circle time in Kindergarten. We did some African dancing, sang an African nursery rhyme and shared some pictures of the nursery out in Kenya. We left them with a task of making resources and games for us to take out to the children!
All the Kindergarten children have been busy colouring in goats and chickens, the hope is that Yellow Dot families and the Yellow Dot team will put money towards purchasing these animals. Maryanne and I can take the money out with us to Kenya and buy goats and chickens from the markets, we can then give these to many families in need. The cost of a chicken is £3.50 and a goat is £15.
We are also looking for toiletries to take out with us; toothpaste, paracetamol, toothbrushes, soap. Stationery will be helpful too; crayons, pens, notepads. We are very grateful for everything we recieve.
Only 8 days before we leave!! We have both been vacinnated for all kinds of things, we have our malaria tablets, it is just the insect repellant and the sun cream to go!!
At the end of the week we hope to see what lovely things have been made by all the Kindergartens for the children out in Kenya and to see how many chickens and goats we have managed to sell. We will keep you posted.

Well, I did my first podcasting training last week. With all of the information about podcasting and different avenues that you could go down…image trying to fit all of that into a 2 hour session. Its impossible! I made it clear at the beginning to the participants that they would not be learning how to use any specific types of software in this workshop. I could have spent 2 hours alone on how to use each software. As a department we have decided to support Audacity, Camtasia, and GarageBand. So, we will do separate workshops for each of those.
Instead, I started off the workshop with a little discussion, asking them about their experience so far with podcasting and if they even knew what it was or had subscribed to a podcast. I always like to have a "get-to-know" the participants and what their prior knowledge is (this goes for any workshop I conduct).
I began with a discussion about terminology…what exactly is a podcast, podcasting, RSS feed, etc? I found that many of the participants where new to these terms. Since I work for a university I approached the workshop from and educational stand-point talking about how podcasting can be used in education and showed them some examples from our podcasting pilot faculty, how they are using them in their courses.
The first hands-on activity…I had them go out to a podcast directory (I gave them a list to choose from) and find a podcast they were interested in subscribing to and I showed them how to use iTunes to subscribe to their chosen podcast. I gave them an orientation of iTunes and talked to them about the iTunes store and finding podcasts through there.
Before jumping into the recording and publishing a podcast part, I felt it was necessary to discuss the planning process. Although there are many podcasts out there, I'm sure, that took no planning at all, when using podcasting for educational purposes, I think it is important to do at least a little planning before hand, especially if you want it to be beneficial to your students. You should decide on a consistent format for your podcast and ask yourself questions like:
- What do I want my students to get out of it?
- Is this required or optional for my students?
- Should I use video or audio?
- What software will I use to record?
Recording, of course, is an important part of the process, but due to the time constraints of this 2-hour workshop, was not able to cover much in regards to this. I covered, location, location, location….
We developed our own internal solution for publishing. We developed a podcasting application that allows our faculty and staff to login with their user id and password and upload their files and the application will create the RSS feed for them. We use a single sign-on using LDAP, so they don't have to remember another username and password, they use the same one they use for everything else. Faculty and staff have the ability to create and manage podcasts and students only have the ability to view podcasts.
We also discussed issues of accessibility (captioning videos and providing transcripts for audio), copyright and permissions. As with any other technology, I believe it is so important to stress the appropriate use of it.
Overall, I think the first session went well. I was able to get a idea of what their expectations where and now am planning to do an Advanced Podcasting workshop, to hopefully get to the other material I didn't have time to cover in the first one….there never seems to be enough time to cover it all.

Hello! It's been a while since I updated, so I thought I would take a moment to let you all know how I've been doing.
As I've mentioned, I've been on a work trip all week. I don't travel up here all that often, but when you do, they really spoil you.
In the morning, trays of bagels, muffins, coffee, and fruit are brought into the room. Each day, I have managed to eat a good breakfast at the hotel and only eat fruit and coffee at work. So that's good.
Lunch time has involved eating out once (I ordered soup and salad but caved and ate one small biscuit. The second lunch was make your own sandwiches. The worst part was the fabulous bread and I also had a few homemade chips and a cookie. The third lunch was pizza. I stayed mindful of my hunger signals and ate ONE piece, but also had a cookie and some toffee. I guess I feel like I'm doing terribly, but I have been watching my portions and quantities of food. I do drink plenty of water, as usual.
They take us to these great local restaurants with fabulous food in the evenings. They order lots of appetizers and everyone is allowed drinks (although I stick to iced tea or one diet soda) and once this was followed by dessert (of which I ate two bites).
But the entrees, I probably could have done better with. My thought philosophy was, I'm never going to eat at these places again, nor do hubby and I frequently dine at places where the average meal costs $15 per plate. So I ordered what I wanted but watched my portions and never cleaned my plate.
But the food we've been eating is not conducive to weight loss or health for that matter. I am afraid to step on the scale at home tomorrow and see how much damage has been done.
I have exercised every single day though at 5 a.m.! That's an accomplishment. And outdoors, where it's like 17 degrees. The first day, I ran 2 miles by myself. The next two days, my coworker offered to come with me and walk. We walked for a little over 30 minutes each day. It was nice to have someone to talk to! At least I've kept my exercise constant.
Last week I was traveling all week too, although miraculously, I only gained a couple of pounds over the course of that trip. My eating was A LOT better than it has been this week though.
So is life. I have to find a balance, and I'm trying. This doesn't mean the end of the road if I have gained some weight, but just another week in my journey. I'll be back to normal soon. But I know how frustrating it is to stay completely on track for a month and barely lose a thing, but I'll bet I'll have gained all that back and more in a matter of days. I'll keep my fingers crossed that, if that's the case, it comes back off quickly!
Have a good day!

Following the announcement that ASLEF had suspended their latest round of industrial action, Tom Brake MP has called on both sides to work together to end the misery that passengers have endured for far too long and invited Mick Cash and Mick Whelan, Secretary Generals of the RMT and ASLEF to join him in a public meeting in Carshalton and Wallington.
The RMT and Southern's parent company Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) are still in a deadlock to settle the long-standing dispute over the role of conductors on Southern trains. The planned changes to conductors' job roles came into force on August 21.
Tom Brake MP said:
''Last Summer I organised a public meeting where over 100 local residents were able to hear from Southern, Thameslink and Govia and ask their representatives questions about the ongoing train delays and cancellations, as well as the changes over the role of conductors.
Six months on and there is no end in sight to the conflict. Just like the train operators, I believe that it's important that the unions get to hear first hand how much distress and chaos these strikes are causing.
I also want to give them a chance to explain their position and take questions from local residents. I hope that the unions will accept my invitation and I look forward to welcoming them in our area.''
The RMT have confirmed they will attend the public meeting. Details of the public meeting below.
Date: 16th February 2017
Time: 7h00-8h30pm
Venue: Wentworth Hall, 80 Ruskin Rd, Carshalton SM5 3DH

In January 2013 Photonics, with investments from Maxwell Biotech Venture Fund and RVC Seed Fund, made the first domestic sale of the laser system stLase known to the global market under the brand name Alta®. The company's development partner, Dental Photonics Inc., is engaged in the commercialization of the product in the global market and has placed over a dozen laser systems beginning in March 2012 in the United States and in Japan as of July 2012. They also plan on selling in South Korea upon approval from the local regulator (KFDA).
"Photonics recent sales are very important news for our fund. StLase has become the first world-class innovative product developed with the participation of Maxwell Biotech Venture Fund, to enter both global and the Russian markets and is already being used to treat patients in the United States, Russia and Japan. We are confident that through the coordinated efforts of our international team that successfully completed the development and sale preparation of stLase, this device will hold a strong position in the competitive market of dental laser equipment," said Dmitry Popov, Managing Partner of Maxwell Biotech Venture Fund.
"We are excited about commencement of commercial sales in the Russian Federation.

One cook's cobbler is another cook's sonker — but only if you happen to live in Surry or Wilkes counties. This deep-dish pie with the funny name appears to be peculiar to this part of the state.
"I had never heard of a sonker until here," says Carmen Long, who has worked in Surry County for nine years as a North Carolina Cooperative Extension Agent in Family and Consumer Services. Before that, Long worked for 17 years in Alleghany County, the next county to the west, and specifically in the town of Sparta.
Had she ever heard of sonker in Sparta — just 33 miles from Surry's county seat, Dobson? "No. Never," Long says.
Although much debated, sonker is a deep-dish pie, juicier than cobbler, and typically served in a rectangular baking dish. It was a dessert large enough to feed a big family or farmhands who'd spent the day working in the fields. It was often baked in a bread pan that fit inside a wood-burning stove.
And that's where the consensus ceases.
There's debate about where the name came from. The late Cratis Williams, a special assistant to the chancellor at Appalachian State University, grew up eating sonker in an eastern Kentucky community settled by people from Wilkes and Surry counties. Williams wrote the introduction to a pamphlet of sonker recipes that the Surry County Historical Society published in 1980 — the first year they held the annual Sonker Festival. He wrote that the word "sonker" descended from a Scottish word for a small, grassy knoll that could be used as a seat, and later was used to describe a straw saddle.
"I suspect," Williams wrote, "that the appearance of the irregularly shaped piece of dough used in the pie suggested a grass saddle to some imaginative cook and the name of the pie came into being."
Others suggest that the name stems from a twisted pronunciation of "sunk," because the dough was sunk down on top of the fruit. Regardless of its origins, the name didn't catch on in North Carolina beyond these rural counties, north and west of Winston-Salem.
But even in this bastion of sonker, the dessert defies definition. Almost any kind of fruit can be used — strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, cherry, peach, dewberry — as well as a vegetable, or two: Rhubarb works well, and one of the most popular varieties is sweet potato.
The debate continues when it comes to the crust. Some sonker recipes call for lining the bottom of a rectangular baking dish with pastry. Others say only to line the sides. Many specify a lattice-work crust on the top. Some have a layer of pastry in the middle. One recipe omits the crust, instead pouring a batter made of flour, sugar, and milk on top to bubble up between the fruit.
And then there is the "dip," a sweet, thickened milk flavored with vanilla extract or spices, such as cinnamon or allspice. It is most often served alongside the sweet potato sonker. "There's no two families who have the same recipe for the dip," says Annette Ayers, a Surry County native and president of the historical society that runs the annual Sonker Festival in Lowgap.
The sonker differences continue from family to family.
Emma Jean Tucker, 70, grew up in Mount Airy and helps organize the Sonker Festival. She says that her family called all deep-dish fruit pies cobblers and only used sonker to describe the sweet potato kind, which was the only one served with dip. "Some people pour it over any sonker," Tucker says.
Over in Siloam, an unincorporated area in southeastern Surry County, Mae Crissman, 88, only ever heard of sonker. "When we were growing up, I never heard cobbler mentioned," says Crissman, who has spent her whole life here and lives on the same road as most of her family.
On a recent afternoon, Crissman and her 83-year-old sister, Geneva Mabe, were making a peach sonker to serve after a lunch of chicken stew.
The sisters' sonker-making skills are very much in demand. Every February, the owner of Pine Hill Farm Supply pays them to make enough sonker to feed more than 100 people for his customer appreciation dinner. Copeland Ruritan volunteers make the dinner, and the sisters make the sonkers.
The women, both wearing blue aprons, work in tandem. Crissman empties peach halves from a quart of homemade canned peaches into a bowl. Mabe uses a biscuit cutter to chop up the peaches to a fine dice. Crissman adds a cup of sugar to the peaches as well as some of the peach juice and water. The peaches go into a pot and onto the stove, where Mabe watches them.
With a wooden rolling pin, Crissman rolls out the crust on a cutting board. She cuts wide slices of pastry to line the sides of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish, leaving the bottom of the dish bare. When the peaches are ready, she scoops them into the baking dish and then tops them with pastry, creating a lattice design. She scatters a handful of sugar on top, and Mabe dabs slices of butter as the finishing touch.
"This is the way our mama did it," Mabe says.
Crissman's daughter, Joy Hemmings, points out that the glass baking dish is a modern adaptation. From a low kitchen cupboard, Hemmings pulls out a battered, round aluminum "pudding pan," four inches deep and nine inches across. This is what Crissman's mother made her sonker in.
"They were wonderful," Hemmings recalls.
But other women in the kitchen — Crissman's daughter-in-law, Pat Crissman, and Marion Venable, a neighbor and authority on Surry County history — say their grandmothers always made their sonker in shallow, rectangular pans.
And, so it goes, each family in Surry and Wilkes counties has its own sonker story.

People in Boise are nothing if not interesting and entertaining. Narrow your Twitter feed to only those tweets coming from Boise twits and you'll see. You'll find out who did a good deed; who broke the law; who is fighting; who's in love; where the best food is; where the worst is; what band is playing and where the party is afterward; who needs a hand; and, of course, the banality of how amazing bacon is, who is the FourSquare mayor of some business and the ever-present notice of who is off to get coffee (ahem, we're guilty of all three). But put that all together and you get a picture of a vibrant, albeit caffeine-reliant, community.

Originally, my trip to Boston was supposed to be centered around Vera and me running the Boston Half Marathon. Sadly, due to a work conflict, that weekend didn't work out. I ended up scheduling the trip for Sept 28 – Oct 4 because I wanted to go in the fall and Southwest had the cheapest fares on those days. We still wanted to run a half marathon together, and decided on the Applefest Half Marathon, since it was only an hour away (so we wouldn't need to book a room at a hotel or B&B) and not sold out (unlike the Smuttynose Half).
Anyway, I was nervous about the Applefest Half. I didn't check it beforehand, but the elevation was a bit hillier than what my Midwestern legs are used to. I was scared.
This would be my third half marathon. My first two were slow (2:48 at my first because I didn't really know how to train [um … run more than once a week] and 2:34 at my second since I was gun shy after my poor showing at my first half). So I was hopeful that I could run a personal record for this race. This year I've done two 10+ mile [flat] races at a pace below 11:00.
Vera runs ultramarathons, so going into the race, I told her she could run at her own pace if she wanted, but she wanted us to run together. And I didn't want a time that would completely embarrass her, so more motivation to do well.
The race started at 10am, but parking was remote with buses, so we got there around 8am and got to the start around 8:30am. The start was at a high school, and after picking up our bibs and shirts, we hung out in the gym until start time. Because it was raining. Yay.
|Good thing our Garmins are different colors. What if we swapped them
and I downloaded her data to my Garmin connect? RUNNERD DILEMMA.
By the time the race started, the rain had stopped. The start of the race was a small loop back by the high school, and then a bigger loop. Eventually it started raining again.
|Start of the race. See those hands up? That's me.
The course was beautiful. Up and down rolling hills, through heavily wooded sparsely populated residential areas. The volunteers were very friendly, especially at the water stops. Despite the rain, they had a lot of energy.
I tried to keep our pace slow, knowing we had some hills to tackle. For me that meant keeping our pace at the low end of or below my half marathon effort. I did a good job of that more or less, but running with Vera did push me to go a bit faster than I would have had I run alone.
Also, I kept chatting during the race and Vera told me that meant we should go faster. I quickly stopped talked (we also hit the biggest hills around that point).
Just past mile 8, the biggest uphill climb starts, and lasts until past mile 10. We ran the entire thing (well, the entire race), and passed a lot of people who were walking at that point. We passed one guy who we chatted with during the first or second mile, and he admitted he didn't know the course was so hilly. I don't know if ignorance would help you out in this case. Probably not.
|Photo by Steve Wolfe
The course was not closed, but for most of it either one lane was blocked off, or it wasn't a busy street. Except for the last two miles. Those were along the local highway / main street, and were completely open to traffic. It was a little weird running on the side of the road, mostly in single file.
We finished in 2:22:38, which was actually my goal time for the Rock 'n Roll Half in August (our time for that ended up being 2:34). Overall I was 736/859; in our age group I was 83/95. So yeah, I'm still slow, but not as slow as I used to be. This was a personal record for me!! Like I said, I did so poorly/mediocre at my first two half marathons, that I was pretty sure I would PR at this race. Even with the hills. It was probably a personal worst for Vera … she runs ultramarathons. At a 9-something pace.
I was happy to get a silver mylar blanket at the end. I felt like a Serious Runner.
|Serious Runners
Vera suggested keeping it and bringing it with me to keep warm at the start of my next race, and then discarding it. I'm posting that here because I think it's a great idea.
The finishers medals were also bottle openers:
|Adorable AND practical
The post-race food was good: apple crisp, bagels, bananas, apples, yogurt, cookies, Powerade, pretzels … possibly more.
All around it was a good race, and I'm happy with my performance. I kind of want to sign up for another half (or similar distance race) sooner rather than later (later would probably be May 2012) just to see how much better I can do on flatland. But these races are expensive. I'm planning to do a 4 miler on Thanksgiving, and I might just focus on training for that distance for the next two months. More speed than endurance. And then I can focus on running an awesome half in May (which is the first half I ever did).

Neila, I am sorry that I did not see any of the messages until just now. Please post in the regular forums or private message to me. I do not regularly check visitor messages.
I am very sorry to hear about your baby. I don't know what to suggest to you. It seems to me that he has more than just meconium aspiration. For example, the presence of microcephaly and such severe loss of white matter suggests that your baby has a genetic disease that is responsible. I am not an expert in developmental conditions of babies but a number of diseases such as Krabbe disease may manifest in symptoms that you describe.
I am very sorry that I can't be more helpful.

This is "Fucc Culture" and we're seeing a lot of it nowadays. However, that's only because parts of it started to gain the public eye; especially true with the recent "Pastor Hokage" scandal. Facebook groups are just the tip of the iceberg. This is a culture centered upon the exploitation of women; from passing around sexual photos and videos, to full on harassment of women on the street or in the workplace. This problem is systemic; dating back decades, precluding Facebook groups and all.

Pastor Hokage and his disciples
Blessed are the perverts, for they shall be heralded by their fellow men. Several Facebook groups bearing names of "Pastor Hokage" have recently come under the spotlight of the media and has faced a near endless barrage of backlash from social media. Inside these groups are men that come from different backgrounds, from teens to proud fathers. These men share a common interest, however. Inside these groups is a plethora of content from pictures of women in suggestive poses to full on pornographic content. However, at the core of it all is the amount of non-consented sharing of pictures of women. Little to none of the women involved know just how much images of their bodies are being feasted upon to feed the sexual desires of thousands of men they don't even know. This is a system driven by culture within these groups for members to pitch in or "ambag" to their collection. Furthermore, reports reveal the sharing of pictures of minors. Actual groups of human beings hungry to sexualize children. Even I am lost for words.
Pastor Hokage is by no means the only perpetrator. Before groups of thousands and thousands of men congregated to amass these content, women have long been subjected to this culture – albeit at a comparatively smaller scale. Commonly known as "revenge porn", people have long been circulating non-consented pictures of their partners/former partners for a myriad of purposes. As the name suggests, the most common motivation is revenge, particularly for failed relationships. Frustrated lovers send pictures or videos of their exes to co-workers, classmates, or family. The repercussions are enormous. Some women are faced with the prospect of unemployment. Victims are subjected to expulsion from their educational institutions. Since it's on the internet, these women face more than a lifetime of shame and backlash from their communities. While others get back their lives, some are not as fortunate; either by noose or a bridge over a river. Throughout all of these, rarely do perpetrators ever even face accountability.

Finally, at the worst end of these problems, we have the decency to put the blame on the victims.
"Ginusto mo 'yan!"
"Pok pok ka kasi"
"Sige, pairalin mo pa 'yang kalandian mo"
Here's the thing, no one in their right mind has ever wanted to be harassed, to have their bodies preyed upon be degenerates, to be treated as an object. It's easy to say to victims that "if you didn't want it to spread, then you should have never taken that photo." However, those photos were never intended to be spread by their partners. It was intended to be a consensual act that the victim trusts, will never leave the confines of their relationship. In addition, some of these photos were never intended to be taken by the victim in the first place. Cases have happened wherein individuals were either forced, pressured, or abused by their partners in order to obtain the obscene images of the victims. In the end, in most cases, insult is added to injury. We have the actual decency to look a victim, who has been disrespected, harassed, and violated, in the eye and say "this is your fault."
Fortunately, governments have pushed to address this problem. The state of California in 2013 passed a law that addresses "nonconsensual pornography" through its inclusion in California's computer crimes. Even our country now has the National Privacy Commission tasked with dealing with privacy related crimes and incidents. It still remains, however, that the best way to address this problem is an empathetic society. Having humanity recognize a fellow in need, instead of deepening the wounds already bleeding.
Fucc Culture is rampant. It not only brings shame but brings entire lives to a grinding halt. As a message to my fellow men, don't do this, not simply because "para kayong walang ina/kapatid na babae", rather because respect is an essential part of our humanity. We have testosterone, but we also have our neurons firing to make rational decisions. So please, stop.
Facebook groups and revenge porn are, like what I have said, just the tip of the iceberg. Fucc Culture extends everywhere, from the streets, schools, workplaces, and even family. All of these will be covered in the coming weeks.

why i love film
this print of jake, lost for a while and now found, is why i love film. the gashes in the surface, years of neglect and abuse etched into the emulsion. damp, heat, cold, debris, mould, chemical burn, sunlight, the scraping through hundreds of projectors, layers of grimy fingerprints, smeared clean and then soiled again. colours slowly deteriorating, corrupting over time.... it's all there.
digital technology can approximate all sorts of lovely things but it can't age organically or fade or decay as film does. it has no surface to punish. film is a filter for light and the surface of film is an ever-changing collection of dust and debris. i don't care that it fades and scratches. these things are signs of life.

It seems solar energy is the future, whether oil companies like it or not. Photovoltaic (PV) cells had an 11 percent efficiency rating at the turn of the century, and 16 years since, solar panels can now covert 34.5 percent of the sun's energy into electricity.
The breakthrough comes from researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, who have successfully exceeded the previous record of 24 percent. The researchers have also managed to make sure that their solar panels are also more compact.
While previous record, set by American company Alta Devices, achieved the efficiency through a PV cell measuring 800 squared centimeters, UNSW's PV cell measured only 28 squared centimeters. The new solar panel, according to the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which verified UNSW's claim, is almost 44 percent more efficient than Alta Devices'.
"This encouraging result shows that there are still advances to come in photovoltaics research to make solar cells even more efficient," said Senior Research Fellow Dr. Mark Keevers. "Extracting more energy from every beam of sunlight is critical to reducing the cost of electricity generated by solar cells as it lowers the investment needed, and delivering payback faster."
According to UNSW, their solar panel works by passing light through a prism to split it into four components — infrared radiation, red, blue and green light. The light then passes through three layers that convert the light into energy, allowing unused wavelengths to pass through to the next.
UNSW adds that such solar panels won't be installed on people's rooftops, though, as they are difficult to maintain and expensive to manufacture. They are, however, best suited for application in solar towers that use mirrors to concentrate sunlight and convert it into electricity.

With a varied historical background, Southampton stands out for its mostly German architecture including styles that range from Hansel and Gretel to Foursquare bungalows, and everything in between. e area is quiet, has one of the lowest crime rates in the city thanks to a large number of police officers living in the area, and has been constantly growing since the 1990s. With multiple parks, and easy access to almost all of St. Louis' major attractions, it's also centrally located with plenty of amenities and things to do. Most of the houses were built during the 1930s and 1950s, but some date back as early as 1905, making Southampton an excellent place to visit for the architecture. According to the South Hampton neighborhood website, The Southampton Neighborhood (SoHa) is a peaceful, charming 1-square mile neighborhood of tree-lined streets featuring a variety of housing styles, friendly plant-filled porches, art glass and hardwood floors.

So, I want to punch myself in the face when I repeat the word 'easy' all the time (call it the copywriters' dilemma). Let's put it this way: 'it's easier than you think to get started as a freelancer online, but it will require a lot of work'. It is still worth all the effort, as you can substitute a full-time office job with freelancing from anywhere.
You can build your online career up gradually. I had been of afraid of establishing an online business, but I thought I could cope with freelancing. And I still think that the first step to build yourself up online is to get a couple of freelancing jobs.
This way you can understand the trends, values, mechanisms, and get an insight into how the online labor market works, before you'd invest in something big. Consider it as an internship, if you want.
Online work has been around for a while, so it's not a big deal anymore to find a job on the internet. There are GREAT platforms to register at, and start searching for jobs. Go ahead and register TODAY, so you can start looking for gigs immediately.
In this blog post I am focusing on kickstarting. I suppose that you are just planning to start your online career, but you are unsure what should be the first step.I will go through exactly how I started; It's a rather common way of setting something up online.
First of all, make up your mind. It doesn't take too much to find something on the internet as a part-time job - you can actually start something on the side while you are having a normal job. This way you can set up an online job CV, collect testimonials and referrals. These will help you getting better and better gigs. On Upwork, for example, clients and freelancers both leave feedback for each other. At first, focus on getting the best feedbacks.
This one was tough for me - I graduated at university as a Sport Manager, a profession highly in demand on the internet. Not. I was very frustrated. However, earlier I went to an English-Hungarian bilingual high school, where I learned English on a pretty high level. So, I thought I could finally take advantage of that. With this in my mind I registered as a content writer and translator. I didn't know much about the writing style the internet required, but I believed I could come up with something if I ever get a job.
Actually, a lot of newbies start as content creators, and gradually specialize in something else. There's nothing wrong with this approach.
Registering is easy, it takes approximately 23.5 seconds. For me the hard part was to set up an appealing profile. Heck, what on earth could I write? I never did anything like that before!
So I used my best friend, Google: "tips for writing the best profile for Upwork". And guess what. After a distressful couple of hours and some minor lies, my profile was ready.
Warning! - I tried to help many of my friends at the beginning: they all failed to go through the profess of setting up their profiles. How badly do you want it?
My profile was ready, so I started to apply for the easiest and simplest jobs that I could find. However, now I think you can immediately try to apply for more complex ones, you might get lucky; everything depends on your profile and the cover letter you submit (now, that I have some experience with hiring I have an idea what employers seek).
I remember, one of my first jobs was to write scam news. Very bad, It's not listed on my CV. But, heck, for 100 words I got $15! Whaaaaaat? I was happy.
When I got my first writing job, I was anxious. Didn't know how to start. Thanks to numerous articles on the internet about 'how to create SEO content for the web', I soon got the hang of it. My client wasn't the most helpful or talkative one, but I asked for feedback anyway after the first couple of articles to see what I could do better. And my client was happy to help as he also benefited from me writing better copies.
At the time, I think, these copies were published on crappy PBN sites which don't really work well anymore for Google ranking. But back then, it was a great way for me to start dealing with writing and emit content about basically anything: second marriages, heaven, medication, cats, etc.
Repeat until you hate writing...
The beautiful thing about writing is that it's closely belongs to online marketing. When you have dealt with writing a lot, you start to understand the marketing processes a little bit better. Later on, you can further specialize, and start looking for other job opportunities, or building up a SEO business, or whatever you want.
Today, there are so, so many freelancing platforms, I can't list all of them in this tiny blog post. Here's the best 2 that helped me kickstart my career.
Now this one! This one is the ultimate one for me. It's totally free for jobseekers - clients bear the costs.
As the founder and CEO Neil Napier explains, it was difficult for entrepreneurs to find cheap and good work force from India or the Philippines (these countries have the cheapest qualified workforce online). Although they were cheap, they failed to do the job in some cases. So, as they were looking for highly skilled employees, they came to the realization that Eastern Europe has many skillful experts at 'low' prices as well, and the working moral is more reliable too. So they created an unique platform where entrepreneurs can meet these job seekers from EE.
The lineup on Jobrack is pretty strong from the clients' side and from the jobseekers' side as well. I really recommend to get started here. Mind though, that as this page is based on geoarbitrage, you might now find a well-paying job if you are from, say, the USA. You can read one of the pillar ideas of the site:
"Reduce your cost:
Typically, American and European hires cost between $75,000 and $150,000 a year. In comparison, our jobseekers' average stated salary requirement is $15,000 a year."
This actually makes me want to cry - but then I remember the differences in living costs. Actually, as a Hungarian, I can easily get a nice job here, that pays more than most of the entry level corporate jobs. So it's a win-win situation! Thanks guys for making this happen! 🙂
The two most popular freelancing platforms, Odesk and Elance, merged into Upwork a couple of years ago. Up until today it counts the most amount of freelancers and clients, at a generally good quality - however, it does contain a number of misfits (so don't worry, haha). It's totally free to register, so you should definitely check it out.
I started out on the fresh and crispy Upwork in 2015. As I remember I had to pay 5% of all my earnings, which is awesome considering it was the best and most diverse freelancing platform. However, recently they have risen their prices, and now new freelancers pay 20% of their income and clients also charged a 2.75% processing fee. The exact pricing for freelancers is:
Plus, of course, taxes. So the start is rather pricey now, however, there are pretty good examples of people earning a fortune on Upwork. It has also helped me kickstart my career big time.
These are just two freelancing platforms, but there are way more out there. (I'll write about those too). No matter which one you choose, the important thing is to keep on working on your profile and quality. Eventually, you'll replace your good old 9-5 office job with something location independent 🙂
Which one would you chose and why? Do you like other freelancing sites as well?

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will prohibit self-balancing personal transportation motorized devices, known as "hoverboards," in any campus owned, leased, occupied, or controlled facilities beginning Monday, January 18.
The campus is adopting this policy as a temporary measure until the safety concerns associated with hoverboards have been resolved. The Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) have issued alerts about the potential fire hazard current-model hoverboards can present.
Although the prohibition does not apply to outdoor areas such as university-owned streets, sidewalks, walkways, and parking lots, individuals using hoverboards to travel on campus will not be able to bring the hoverboards into any university buildings and should consider whether to bring them to campus at all.
The Communications Office has a number of resources to help you with presentations. See our web page for a Beckman Powerpoint and poster template, the Beckman wordmark, and other resources: beckman.illinois.edu/about/services/communications-office
We are happy to publicize news related to Beckman research (publications, grant funding, etc.) and can help connect researchers with the University of Illinois News Bureau. Contact Maeve Reilly, firstname.lastname@example.com, for more information.
New High-Pressure Freezing/Freeze Substitution System
Thursday, Jan. 21, NOON
High-pressure freezing/freeze substitution (HPF/FS) is a proven means of preparing biological samples for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with perhaps the highest quality preservation of cellular components possible to date. It is useful in the imaging of eukaryotic and non-eukaryotic specimens -- from animal cells and tissue to nematodes to bacteria, Archaea, and extremophiles. Using matching funds from a number of campus departments and the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Research, the University of Illinois has purchased an HPF/FS system, which is being installed in the Microscopy Suite at the Beckman Institute. This one-hour seminar will introduce the system. Pizza and soft drinks will be provided.

Hanuman or Anjaneya
Hanuman Son of the wind god Vaayu and Queen Anjana, Hanuman has a human body with a monkey's head. He is one of the most popular deities amongst Hindus and is seen in temples throughout India. His picture, often with Lord Rama and Sita from Ramayana, can be found in almost every Hindu home. He is considered to be the god of power and strength and as such is the most favored deity of wrestlers and warriors.
There are many interesting legends surrounding Hanuman. When quite young, he saw the rising sun and thought it to be a ripe fruit. He therefore jumped up to it and put the sun in his mouth. This made Indra angry and he whips him with a thunderbolt. In response the wind god Vaayu refuses to breathe air into the world, prompting Indra to apologize and the other gods to bestow immortality and shape ability on Hanuman.
Hanuman was the greatest, most faithful helper of Lord Rama in his campaign against Ravana. When sent as Rama's envoy, Hanuman was given a ring to convince Sita that he truly was her husband's messenger. As he was the offspring of the god of winds, he concentrated his powers and crossed the seas with a formidable leap, reaching Lanka where Sita was being held prisoner by Ravana the demon-king. He succeeded in meeting the Sita queen in a garden called Ashoka-vatika, showed her Rama's ring and assured her that Rama would be coming soon to rescue her from the demon-king's clutches. However, in the process Hanuman was captured by Ravana's guards and brought before his court, but not before he succeeded in killing a large number of guards, including Ravana's son, Akshaya. The demon-king commanded his servants to dip the monkey's tail in oil and set it on fire. Hanuman grew his tail to enormous proportions and the servants rolled his tail with cotton and oil. Then his tail was set on fire. Hanuman set the entire Lanka on fire before escaping and returning to Lord Rama's camp.
Hanuman briefed Lord Rama about the situation in Lanka and with his younger brother Lakshman and with a big army of monkeys, prepared to invade Lanka. Upon reaching the sea shore, Rama first worshipped Lord Shiva and prayed for the success of his mission. However, he did not know how his vast army would be able to cross the ocean to invade. Lord Shiva told Rama to build a bridge with the help of one of his army personnel, an ape named Nal, the son of the god of construction. Rocks were brought and, under Hanuman's supervision, Nal threw them into the sea, where they miraculously floated. A long bridge was thus built connecting Sri Lanka with the shores of India, and Rama's army crossed the sea and reached the outskirts of Ravana's kingdom.
Fierce fighting ensued and in the course of battle, Rama's brother Lakshman was severely wounded and fell unconscious. The arrow that had wounded him was blessed in such a way that whoever was wounded in the night with it could not recover if the cure was not obtained before daylight. The physician prescribed a herb that could save Lakshman's life but it grew far away in one of the mountain ranges of the Himalayas and someone had to fetch it before day break. Immediately agile Hanuman volunteered and moved toward that mountain with the speed of the wind. When he could not find the magical herb in his hurried state, he lifted the entire mountain and flew with it back to the battlefield. To thwart his efforts, powerful Ravana compelled the sun to arise on the mountain at midnight. Enraged by the conspiracy, Hanuman leapt up, seized the sun under his arm and put the mountain on his head. Only after the application of the desired herb upon Lakshman's wound did Hanuman permit the sun to depart.
After a ferocious battle of many days, Ravana was defeated and victory ensued. Hanuman accompanied Rama upon his triumphant return to Ayodhya and there was given by Rama the blessings of perpetual youth and deathless existence.
Hanuman remained celibate his entire life and is known as the greatest devotee of the god Rama, who loved him the best. His devotion to Lord Rama and Sita was so great that once he tore open his chest with his claws to show that images of Rama and his wife were engraved upon his heart.
Hanuman was not only a warrior of great strength, but he was also well versed in the scriptures and science. Hanuman is the ninth author of grammar. Tuesday is considered as the sacred day of worship for Lord Hanuman.

Greeting Card Verses & Sayings
If you are a card maker like myself, you know that one of the hardest parts to actually finishing a handmade card is trying to decide what to put on the inside of the card. In fact, the majority of those who sell their handmade cards don't even bother with this step and sell their cards blank, leaving the inside messages up to the individuals who purchase the cards. However, more often than not, people who purchase greeting cards would rather there be some type of message on the inside of the card they purchase and are turned off to buying a handmade card because its blank.
To help with this dilemma, here is a list of some greeting card sayings, quotes, poems and messages you can add to the inside of any blank greeting card to get you started.
Baby Greeting Card Sayings

"Life is filled with lots of things that make it all worthwhile, but none is better than the love found in your baby's smile."

It´s new. It´s sleek and it currently has the highest outdoor bar in the Western hemisphere. But apart from that, the Intercontinental Downtown Los Angeles promises a deluxe hotel stay with some of the best views available in one of the city´s most impressive architectural additions to the L.A. skyline.
If you think of an ordinary hotel arrival when the car pulls up into the massive glass and steel construction on the street level, you are mistaking. Once you and your suitcases made it past the omnipresent security staff into the high-tech elevator, prepare to be wowed.
The doors will open to the lobby on the 70th floor to reveal a seemingly never-ending panorama over greater Los Angeles and over the Hollywood hills. Check-in is conducted right at the floor-to-ceiling windows and you will actually have a hard time to follow the charming staff behind the counter as the vista is simply so distracting.
The rooms are located between the 40th and the 70th floor and are accessible via dedicated high-speed elevators from the lobby only. This means, you will have to pass over it every time you are heading to the street level, the hotel bars and restaurants or the pool and fitness level.
The design language is minimalistic and very contemporary with lots of individual furniture and lighting pieces set in scene.
On the lobby level, you will find plenty of seating spaces available set up in different configurations.
The lobby lounge is located at the opposite end of the check-in area and is a quiet spot during the day that transforms to an elegant meeting place in the evening.
The drink menu holds everything that you would expect from a world-class bar, but has its price.
Cocktails start at 17 US$, yet include extraordinary views over the skyline and the very attentive service by the lounge staff. Loved the signature Negroni from the bar menu!
If you are seeking the thrill to enjoy your sun downer drink on the highest elevated outdoor terrace that is currently on offer in the Western world, plan to come early. After 6 PM, I noticed that access even for hotel guests was very limited and queues formed in front of the elevator that would take you up. Not chic and therefore not interesting for me.
Every corner of the hotel is quite selfie-suitable. For all you lifestyle bloggers out there, plenty of snapshot possibilities.
One floor down from the lobby, you will have access to two of the hotel´s dining options.
Dekkadance is the Intercontinental´s farm-to-fork international market experience offering live cooking as well as buffet style stations. It is popular for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Sora is the in-house Japanese restaurant.
It specializes on omakase and sushi. The latter is prepared freshly and presented on the sky-view conveyor belt running along the panoramic windows.
Smaller and more intimate seating is available to the side of the restaurant. The views: Impeccable!
Austere simplicity in the hallways to the rooms. The interior design of the hotel has obviously been inspired by Japanese elements.
Personally, I love the indirect lighting that has been installed throughout the premise. The lighting in each room is being controlled via a dedicated control at the entrance and at the bed, allowing different lighting scenes and moods.
The clean design is carried on in the guest rooms. No paraphernalia, no here and there. Extremely comfortable and luxurious bedding blessed me with two nights of beauty sleep! Literally.
How can a day in Los Angeles be not good if you wake up to a view like this?
The rooms feature different artistic themes carried out on extra-large canvas above the beds. Adjustable LED snake lights provide excellent lighting for either reading or simply illuminating the room to a certain amount.
A large desk and a dedicated table offer plenty of space to work on and sit at. The arm-chair turned around towards the window front was my favorite place to enjoy my morning coffee at. A giant TV will enchant those zappers amongst you.
There is plenty of storage space available. In addition to the large drawers, a generous closet is provided at the entrance. Each room is equipped with an electric mini bar and a coffee maker offering complimentary coffee and tea, being refilled on a daily base.
Me loosing myself in the view while getting ready for the day.
The bathrobes are so plush, you seriously feel like a celebrity when being wrapped up in it.
Lots of space to unwind in. Each bathroom features a walk-in glass shower, a marble embedded bathtub, a large sink and a separable toilet. Quite useful is the night-light function which is integrated into the illuminated mirror. Thanx to the semi-transparent glass window towards the bed room, you can even enjoy a bit of daylight.
Good morning, L.A. When a jet lag early rise turns out the best that could happen to you.
Are you still counting sheep to fall asleep? I know something much cooler: Counting cars on the highway!
From the Asian style elegance of the interiors to a SoBe interpretation of the pool deck.
Located on the 7th floor, the hip swimming pool area offers various relaxation spaces.
Lounge beats and a well-equipped bar create a true Miami Beach atmosphere right in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. In the evening, gas operated fireplaces form cozy retreats and a great and way less-crowded alternative to the rooftop bar.
The promising fitness center is currently (October 2017) still being developed, but guests can utilize the brand new Golds Gym at no extra charge on the ground floor of the adjacent FIGat7th Shopping Center just across the street. You will simply have to show your room key and sign in at the front desk for a state-of-the-art workout.
Altogether, the Intercontinental Downtown has definitely convinced me. It is truly a remarkable option to plan at least a two nights excursion to the city center district while vacationing in the L.A. surroundings. Not only, because it is a luxurious oasis in the hustle and bustle of the city with gorgeous designs, but also because downtown L.A. has so much more to offer than just two hands full of skyscrapers. But more about this in one of my future blog posts!
