Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALNY) is expected by Rodman & Renshaw to disclose data from a Phase I trial of its investigational treatment for familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy prior to August.

MBIA Inc. (NYSE:MBI) reported that New York had not yet okayed a scheduled interest payment on the firm's surplus notes, but subsequently MKM Partners commented that the company will neither go bankrupt nor become insolvent if it's unable to make the payment.

2 Surefire Signs Your Dentist Will Recommend A Root Canal ProcedureShare
Most people understand if there is a serious issue affecting their teeth. Dark stains, bleeding gums, and even one or more cracked or lost teeth are definitely signs that you should consult a dentist. However, while some tooth problems need to be addressed with implant dentistry, others can be repaired using a root canal procedure. On average, 15.1 million root canal treatments are performed each year, but most people are not really familiar with this treatment or if they require one. Here are a few surefire signs your dentist will recommend a root canal procedure to restore one or more teeth.
Tooth Trauma
Trauma to the mouth is one of the most common reasons a patient needs a root canal. If the mouth or one or more teeth were injured playing sports or during an accident, the root may have been damaged as well.
If the tooth's root was damaged or severed completely, it may cause the tooth to fall out. In some instances, a damaged root may not be noticeable until further complications arise.
If you recently suffered trauma to the mouth, consult your dentist. Root canal treatments are designed to reattach the severed tooth while reducing the risk of an infection.
For many, toothaches are one of the most painful conditions they will face. Pain that stems from one or more teeth is never to be considered normal, so it is important to see your dentist immediately.
It is also important to note that pain can occur even if you are not seeing or noticing any other dental complications. Thankfully, your dentist can use x-rays to determine and treat the exact cause of this pain.
The majority of patients with a toothache are having this pain because the tooth/root is infected. Infections may develop in a variety of ways.
For example, if an injured tooth is not repaired, food and bacteria can build up in and around the tooth and root, leading to an infection.
Extracting the infected tooth can offer immediate relief, but a root canal procedure is a better alternative for many patients. By cleaning out the infected pulp of the tooth and filling the opening with a dental-grade bonding agent, your dentist can save your tooth.
Trauma to the mouth and painful toothaches are surefire signs you may need a root canal treatment. If you have a damaged tooth or are experiencing any pain, consult your dentist immediately for effective and efficient treatment.

A police warrant reveals that officers found a half-empty bottle of vodka in a Jeep that was involved in a fatal crash last August.
The warrant, obtained by the Hartford Courant, also says the drive was "screaming that she was 'going to jail for life for drinking and driving and killing her friend.'"
Alexa Crosby, 17, of Suffield, was killed in the crash on Interstate 91 in Enfield on Aug. 25. Police said Amanda Conway, 18, lost control of the Jeep she was driving and crossed into the path of a tractor-trailer. Conway has been charged with second-degree manslaughter with a motor vehicle and driving under the influence.
Conway is the daughter of Matthew Conway, a Democratic state representative.
According to the police warrant the Courant obtained, the vodka bottle was in the back seat of the Jeep and Conway was "screaming that she was 'going to jail for life for drinking and driving and killing her friend.'"
Witnesses told police that Conway, Crosby and a third girl who was in the car had been drinking at a home in Suffield before the crash, reports The Courant.
One witness said Conway told him her parents had "questioned her ability to drive before going out," thinking she had been drinking, the Courant reports.
Conway is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Enfield on Dec. 8.

Depending on the needs of your application you may need to directly run sparql queries.
Sparql Prefixes
When writing SPARQL queries, according to the standard one needs to prepend the queries with the prefixes that have been used. For example -
PREFIX nco: <http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nco#> .
select ?r ?name where { ?r a nco:Contact . ?r nco:fullname ?name . }
When running queries in Nepomuk, you do not need to explicitly add the prefix. The prefix will automatically be added by the storage service.
Full Text Indexing
Nepomuk depends on Virtuoso for data storage. Virtuoso brings a lot of nice extensions to SPARQL. Most importantly the full text search which is used through the artificial bif:contains property.
This allows to combine graph queries with full text queries in a nice way:
select ?r where { ?r nao:prefLabel ?label .
?label bif:contains 'nepomuk' . }
The query above will find any resources that contain nepomuk in their label.
Of course wildcards are supported, too. However, be aware that when using wildcards the expression itself needs to be enclosed in quotes as follows:
select ?r where { ?r nao:prefLabel ?label .
?label bif:contains "'nepomuk*'" . }
Please note the virtuoso requires a minimum of 4 leading characters in order to use wildcards.

Diabetes Secrets for the Young Generation:
Diabetes Type I
What your Doctor
isn't telling you
If you like to have explanations of special terms, please click here!
Diabetes Type I is said to be an auto-immune disease. The immune-system of the body aggresses the B-cells in the pancreas and destroys them. Finally, the production of insulin becomes insufficient to control the blood sugar level. The patient depends on an artificial blood-sugar-management for life, by daily Insulin injections and a special diabetic diet. The diabetic is told to be incurable and to arrange with the disease for lifetime. Up to this point, the diabetic patients are informed by their physicians about their disease.
It's a fact, that often in B-cells of Diabetes-I-patients viruses are found. This could be a reason, why the immune system aggresses the B-cells. But this leads directly to the next question:
It's told to happen because of a virus infection. But this is only half the truth.
By nature, the human body is able to defend successfully
against infections from viruses and bacteria. The immune system is
successfully fighting them down in the spaces outside the cells of the
body, before they would be able to penetrate the cell membranes and
enter the cells.
Two of the most important and effectful defense measures are an elevated body temperature, and inflammation. Both include complicated alterations of the basic conditions in the body, including a change of the hydrogen ion concentration towards a more acid milieu, and a mobilization of an army of specialized defense cells of the immune system.
What's the "modern medicine" doing in such
acute cases of self-defense: "Antiphlogistic" and "antibiotic"
measures are the todays standard! And which are the consequences of such
"medical interference"?
Immediately the defense measures of the immune system are stopped, the
"fever" reduces, the milieu in the body goes back to
Now the entry doors are widely opened for every viruses, bacteria and poisons, to penetrate the cell membranes and to integrate themselves directly with the genetic code of the cells.
From that moment on, the immune system recognizes e.g.:
There are B-cells used as "Trojan Horses" by viruses to duplicate themselves, even perhaps
producing insulin molecules that carry each of them a virus (because a
virus might have docked with an insulin original from which the insulin
copies are taken).
The logic consequence of the immune system: Such B-cells must be destroyed.
Therefore, it's not the virus infection itself causing
Diabetes I - it's the unbiologic, antiphlogistic, antibiotic measure of
"modern physicians", suppressing the reactions of the immune
system on the infection and disabling the immune system by that!
In fact, in every single case of Diabetes I we could get
a complete anamnesis, such a measure of a physician was found, shortly
before the break-out of the Diabetes I.
Even - against the doubtful
theory of "genetic causes" - one of two uniovular twins (age about 1 year)
got Diabetes I, the other twin didn't get it. When analyzing the anamnesis, this
came out: Shortly before, the one twin had a cold, and was treated with
antiphlogistic suppositories - and shortly after became diabetic. The
other uniovular twin had no cold, was not treated, and didn't become
In another case of Diabetes I, the cause was the
antibiotic, antiphlogistic treatment of a parulis (a swollen cheek
because of a dead tooth).
If you are a diabetic Type I, or if you know one, try to
check the anamnesis. Probably you will find such a cause.
The same medical fault can cause other chronic diseases
too, e.g. Leukemia. The explanation why, is found in the "Homotoxicology"
principles of Dr. Hans Heinrich Reckeweg.
Much more such "secret" details you can find in the book "Diabetes Causes & Cure, Including Cure of Later Diabetes Consequences". For the book review, please click on this title.
Most important is a "Primary Health Care: To prevent and to treat diseases by health". This definition was formulated by the former Ethiopian Vice Minister of Health, Dr. Getachew Tadesse, an internationally acknowledged epidemiologist. When I met him in 1989/90 in Addis Ababa (the capital of Ethiopia, East Africa, the origin area of mankind), he said to me: We know that the Western medicine would destroy our population. This we don't want." (Question: Who are the real "developing countries", and who should learn from whom, when concerning knowledge and status of natural health of their populations?!)
What's the most important basis of health? It's a natural, undenaturated, man-appropriate nutrition. After man has been proven to be genetically frugivorous, the healthiest nutrition for man is plant-based. A natural nutrition, based on man's origin nutrition and transformed into a "civilized origin nutrition", is described in all details in the book "Schnitzer Intensive Nutrition, Schnitzer Normal Nutrition". For the book review, please click on the title.
The other important measure is, in cases of infection,
inflammation, fever, never to suppress the immune system - the opposite
way is the right way: Always to support the immune system by bio-medical
An excellent "tool" e.g. is homeopathy. Mostly,
homeopathy cures such acute events much faster than the usual suppressive
methods, and it's without the often dangerous "side-effects"
and later consequences of allopathic medication.
Other methods are acupuncture,
electro-acupuncture, or plant extract medicine.
Fasting during the acute "hot phase" too supports the
immune system, because normally most of its capacity is busy with
metabolizing food. Fasting sets this part of capacity free for
self-defense. If the body signalizes "No appetite", it's good
to follow the signal and not to eat anything, until a new signal
"Hunger" comes.
Important: Always to drink sufficiently good well water (e.g. the French table water "Volvic"). More about measures in such acute cases (unfortunately at this moment only in German) is available on the page "Grippe und Erkaeltung" (please click here).
The "later consequences" of both types of
Diabetes, I and II, are the same, and they all are very serious: Leg amputation
because of diabetic gangrene, losing eyesight because of bleedings in
the retina, renal failure (needing dialysis), degeneration of nerves,
loss of sensation, degeneration of the liver, inner bleeding to death
because of a varicose oesophagus, heart attack, stroke, and embolism.
All these serious conditions can't be avoided by regularly taking the recommended medications and diet (that's too one of the secrets that aren't told to the patients by their doctors).
In truth, all these serious conditions aren't really "later
consequences" of the diabetic disease - they are "later
consequences" of the usual diabetic diet! This diet provides an
oversupply with protein - and this is the real and true cause of the
"later consequences", and the main cause of Diabetes Type II
Although the "modern medicine" doesn't offer an alternative to this diabetic diet, there is one: It is the "civilized origin nutrition", that provides sufficient, but no oversupply of protein, and that provides a well balanced supply with slowly resorbable carbohydrates. In addition, this natural nutrition contains everything the body needs to normalize its metabolism and to reconquer its natural health.
This "civilized origin nutrition" is
appropriate to the still functional original genetic programming of
man, being a "Frugivore". It's described in all details in
the books "Diabetes Causes &
Cure, Including Cure of Later Diabetes Consequences" and "Schnitzer
Intensive Nutrition, Schnitzer Normal Nutrition" (please click
on the titles, it brings you to the book reviews).
The easiest, with this healthy natural nutrition, is to prevent the diabetic disease itself and also its later consequences.
It's not so easy to cure Diabetes Type I, than to cure
Diabetes Type II. But it's possible too in a considerable percentage of the
cases. And the others at least can be improved, and most of the heavy
later consequences can be prevented.
Here's the result of one German physician, who treated 119 diabetics with this knowledge, among them 31 with Diabetes I:
Diabetes II
Later Consequences
Diabetes I
Later Consequences
Additional chances to cure Diabetes Type I can be expected from a cellular therapy with special stem cells, that don't provoke the body's immune system. But even this would be rather useless, if the causes of the later consequences of Diabetes still would exist in the body, and if the natural preconditions of health wouldn't be restored.
Concerning Diabetes I and II, there isn't much information from the system of the "modern
medicine". You must perceive it clearly: Diabetes itself is one of
the biggest businesses of the medical sector, including physicians,
pharmacies, the pharma industry, the hospitals, the clinics, and the
The later conequences of Diabetes aren't less "interesting"
(economically seen); Dialysis, leg amputations, wheel chair
production - alltogether they (and their profits and shareholder
values) grow with the endemic growth (increase) of the diabetic
morbidity in the population. The causes, including the doubtful
composition of the common diabetic diet, too belong to the
"restricted area of medical secrets". These secrets aren't
only denied. Even "targeted disinformation" (an Eastern
invention developed during the Cold War) is used in PR articles and
news - to spread doubts, in case people try to find out the
truth behind the diseases business.
About this strange course of the so called "modern medicine", that urgently would need a correction, please read: "Medicus, quo vadis? Physician, whither thou goest?" (to find the treaty, please click on the title).
Already the awareness of a danger reduces it
considerably (it's told by 50 %),
because it attracts your attention to the danger and motivates you for prevention.
Therefore, direct your attention to the chronic civilization
conditions and their causes, and especially to Diabetes!
Inform yourself directly, try to find out the uncensored, unfiltrated truth about the secrets of natural health and the civilization's avoidable chronic diseases. About Diabetes, you find it concentrated in the book "Diabetes Causes & Cure, Including Cure of Later Diabetes Consequences". About a nutrition that maintains your health, you find all information and practical Know How in the book "Schnitzer Intensive Nutrition, Schnitzer Normal Nutrition".
What I'm able to contribute from my side to inform you, I'm doing via my website and my books. The truth is easy to understand, and it can save you from serious and permanent, lifelong trouble. It's not necessary for you to fall into the same diseases traps as your parents and grandparents did. You have now a real chance to prevent it, and to protect or reconquer your natural health.

[Video Goals] Man Utd 2-0 Crystal Palace: Harrop Scores Beauty On Dream Debut
A severely weakened Manchester United side cruised to a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford this afternoon.
It was a dream debut for Josh Harrop as the youngster opened the scoring with a superb right-footed strike 15th minute after being found by a superb pass from Paul Pogba.
The French international then doubled United's lead just minutes later as the midfielder was on hand to fire home a loose ball following some poor Palace defending.
Pogba was then substituted shortly before half time with a knock so Jose Mourinho will be praying the midfielder is fit for Wednesday night's Europa League final.
United dominated the second half but couldn't add to their goal tally so the youngsters had to settle for a comfortable 2-0 win over the Eagles.

text: Suzhou (Chinese: 苏州; Mandarin: [súʈʂóu̯];)is a very lovely place to visit with plenty of beautiful Chinese-style gardens. We have been there many times by train and by bike. The train ride is only about 20-30 minutes from Shanghai and makes a great weekend trip when you want to get out of the city. Of course, SuZhou is a fairly large place with plenty of restaurants, hotels and shopping areas but it has a lot of old style areas and buildings, if you are interested in that type of place. The gardens are breathless and if you go there in the summer, the lily pads cover the surface of the little ponds in the park. Another great time to visit is when the cherry blossoms are out on the trees around the end of May or the beginning of April. If you a lucky and you have someone Chinese with you, you can easily find a tour guide that can drive you around the area to see as many sights as possible in a weekend or you can visit more than once since it really isn't that far from shanghai.

Computer problems are inevitable. Worst of it all, they strike when you least expected. In case of unexpected computer problems, you do not need to worry as most problems can be solved. That said, let us look at some common computer problems.
Common computer issues
Blue screen of death
Blue screen of death is also referred to stop error. This is an unusual computer problem. It is mainly associated with failing hardware, corrupt DLL files, damaged software, issues with the drivers, and many more reasons. The solution to this problem depends mostly on the cause. To address this problem, you can restart your computer. More to this, in case of a blue screen of death, your computer will always provide you with codes. With such, codes you can quickly identify the cause of the problem and fix it.
Missing dynamic- link library file (DLL)
DLL files are responsible for housing information in the operating system. With this in place, your computer is in a position of carrying out its functions. In certain instances, your DLL files can be damaged. As a result, this makes it impossible for your computer to respond to specific commands. If you receive an error message upon performing a specific function, then this indicates that your DLL files are either damaged or missing. The remedy of this problem is downloading DLL files.
Difficulty in installing applications
This is yet another computer problem. The best thing about this issue is that it is less problematic compared to other problems. This computer problem occurs when your hard drive has no space to support the applications you are making. It is recommended that you delete unnecessary files or documents to create extra space.
Applications run sluggishly
This computer problem can be attributed to many things. To start with, your operating system may have issues. Secondly, you may not have updated your operating system for quite some time. Finally, your computer may have limited space. To address this problem, you can try out updating your computer's OS, have your operating system checked, or clean your hard drive.
Unusual application behavior
At times, you may have your computer may behave strangely. For instance, your word document may not display the top margin. In case you notice unusual application behavior, it is advisable to do an internet search and check the user manual. This way, you may have an idea of the cause of the problem. In addition to this, it is recommended that you restart your computer.
System repair software
A System repair software is a handy tool for many computer problems. With this software, it is easy to identify issues affecting your computer with ease. More to this, they may help you get rid of unnecessary information to create space for an application. Furthermore, this software can help replace DLL files.

A record 2,208 billionaires made Forbes' 32nd annual ranking of the world's richest with centi-billionaire Jeff Bezos seizing the top spot for the first time.
President Trump's fortune stands at $3.1 billion, down $400 million from last year. He dropped to #766 from #544 last year, thanks to falling "values of Midtown Manhattan real estate and declining revenues at several Trump golf properties."

Next weekend will be valentine's day. This means teddy bears, heart shaped chocolates and cheesy I love you cards will be exchanged in restaurants packed with 'table for two' parties.
Valentines is the night when Nuala RUDE graces the stage to entertain the masses with her captivating burlesque routine. &I was lucky enough to have a private show with her and hear her talk a little about the art of seduction...
Once upon a time, in a mythical land of opulence, there was an enchanted wood and in that enchanted wood lay an eleganza castle and in that eleganza castle lay a… Who the fuck am I kidding? Nuala Rude, not surprisingly, was born a burlesque baby of my darling co-worker Soup Du Jour! Over cups of tea in work and many glasses of wine we created our first collaboration act in which we one the horse races and became money obsessed lunatics… She helped create glittery monster!
I would consider myself a Burlesque baby so my knowledge of what happened before Nuala Rude was born is very limited! (I should do my homework!) We do however have a bustling and thriving Burlesque scene here which is fantastic and now we are very lucky to have lots of new and wonderful things happening here at the minute. Over the last two years old Soupy has created the first Belfast Burlesque Festival, which ran in November and was a huge success, including A Newcomer Night, The Belfast Crown and The Belfast Burlesque Market! My role was primarily raffle based this year, but from these events I got to meet some spectacular lads and ladies from all over! As well the festival Soupy has Tease-o-rama, which I am very privileged to have had many parts to play in! Because of this event I have had the pleasure to meet an array of spectacular performers from all over, including the lovely Belfast based (soon to be moving to Bristol sadly –CRIES-) Teezy Overeazy, the beautiful Dublin based Bella Agogo and of course the amazing Srg. Die Weis from California! Not to mention my new sister from another mister Dina BonCoup… (New and exciting things to come from the pair of us) I've also been very lucky to have worked with Vera Fontaine who runs the Burlesque classes for the Crescent Arts Centre. She puts on a showcase for her students and had me and a few other girls come and perform alongside them at Christmas this year, which was fantastic! We are so lucky to have so many amazing performers here, making a lovely little Burlesque family that Nuala Rude is being welcomed into!
Where do I even begin? Well for starters, I'm a signed actor. (Totally plugging this here too. I am running a showcase in Southbank Playhouse on the 6th February called Clatter O' Actors.) So I'm used to prancing about onstage and having people look at me! Confidence is something that you HAVE to have in this industry, without it you really won't go very far. You have to believe in yourself and selling yourself, which when you are having a bad day can be very difficult, you just need to keep your focus. But also, what people need to remember is that sexiness and sex appeal means something completely different to different people. So many people (myself included) stress over their looks or their weight, but it all comes down to owning who you are and being happy with it. Different people love different things and that's what makes Burlesque as an artistic platform so powerful. You get to see such an array of different genders, sizes, shapes, forms, styles and backgrounds in one show! You're all bloody spoiled really.
Luckily I was born a missy about town. But what I do think really helps is a background in either performance/acting or dance. It gives you an awareness of the stage and also the audience and because Burlesque is so creative and theatrical, the thought processes that go into choreographing a dance piece or writing a script makes it much easier. As I previously plugged, I am primarily an actor but all of my theatre work has really helped me develop my Burlesque persona, I just need to work more on my dancing… Boogying in Laverys doesn't count… (Or does it?) Oh and as I've said it before babycakes... CONFIDENCE. You need to love who you are and believe in your own creations!! Aswell as this, the ability to sew is quite important too. I've learnt so much from working backstage with wardrobe (I was involved in the costume department for Bruisers production of Cabaret in the Mac in September) and also having people that you can go to for costume advice and recommendations. The Burlesque crew are always so helpful with suggesting the best types of fabrics and costume shops ect. I'm very lucky that I work in the Rusty Zip as well, so I have loads of styling experience and a good knowledge of Vintage fashion. A thick skin helps too. (Not literally. Ewh.) You have to be able to take criticism and work with it and listen to other people. That said you also need to be able to believe in yourself and know when to do what is best for you. Oh and get used to dodgy photos of yourself… There will be hundreds of pictures of the night. And you will have tummy rolls and idiot face in at least five of them. As for being a general badass? Well if the tiara fits…
Well my next gig is Valentines Night in the Black Box. After that I will be looking for bookings for the rest of the year. I'm also going to enter the Galway Burlesque Festival this year and of course the Belfast Burlesque Festival. Myself, Dina BonCoup and the beautiful Die Hexxen (an amazing musician and performance artist) are planning to start our own eclectic cabaret night so add 'Nuala Rude' on Facebook for more information about that! What I will say is Burlesque in
Belfast is only going to get stronger if we
support the festival and any burlesque gigs that are happening here… SO COME
OUT AND SEE OUR BOOBIES. Oh and hopefully you will see me acting and singing in
lots of things this year too!
Most of the time I look like a showgirl on crack. But my ultimate goal is to represent myself and my act through my costume. I mainly live for glitter. But other things are good too, like feathers and PVC. Hahaha. I'm getting more and more into making stuff myself. As my seamstress skills increase, the costumes get a bit more detailed and intricate, which is really inspiring and makes me want to learn more. Of course I have a soft spot for all things Vintage so I try to incorporate as much vintage as possible, be it a pair of vintage stockings or dance shoes. To be honest most of the time I look as if Kate Bush and Noel Fielding had a love child…
People don't really realize that there are different types of Burlesque and that these different types can include lots of different techniques and styles. Not everything is straight down the line feather boas and Peggy Lee's 'Fever'. (Not that we don't all love Peggy) Some acts incorporate comedy, dramatic sketches and different styles of professional dancing, as well as much much more. Other misconceptions are that Burlesque is easy. A good routine can take months to perfect and rehearse, especially if you are working in a troupe. It takes a lot to be able to write and choreograph and perform a routine as well as manage your own bookings and make your costumes. Some say that Burlesque performers could run the world…
Grab your tickets for the Valentines Tease-O-Rama HERE,
&we'll see you THERE!

We are thrilled that local favorites, Crushwater, are returning to our festival this year. With their high energy blend of original songs, visceral lyrics and rock n roll enthusiasm, it's easy to see why crowds frequently get dancing right out of the gate. Songwriter, guitarist and lead singer, Scott Sullivan, has four original albums to his credit and his songs have gained international acclaim after being featured in many films and TV shows. Chandra Johnson, on violin and vocals, adds balance and elevates the songs and live shows with her virtuosic skill on violin and her sublime rootsy vocals. Local boy favorite, John Carlson, lays down the colorful rhythms on drums and entertains the crowd with his quick wit and PA native Enoch Bowlby holds down the bass groove. Together they create a band that takes the elements of classic songwriting and pushes it to the edge, often teetering on the brink of finely balanced chaos. FRIDAY/SATURDAY
Crushwater_Catholic Guilt_Station 51
Heres a clip of Crushwater from a few nights ago at the Station 51 Taphouse in Port Angeles, playing through the chaos of the song Catholic Guilt. What a turnout that night and thanks to all the friends and community celebrating the spirit and love for Mikie Procurer.

You are never too old to improve your posture
By Susan Manning
"Don't slouch!", "stand tall!", "bring your shoulders back and suck in your stomach!"….we have all heard it as kids and I'm sure said it as adults but believe it or not there are health benefits to it and you are never too old to improve your posture.
Research suggests that many spine problems are preventable as many are a result of poor posture and improper body mechanics, which subject the spine to abnormal stresses. Poor posture i.e.: flat back, rounded shoulders, sunken chest and forward head are only some of the poor body positions that can lead to back, neck and shoulder pain which often relates to headaches. The new term we use now and you may have heard is "neutral spine".
What is Neutral Spine?
This is the postural position where the spine is in the best alignment and the body is able to function in its strongest, most balanced position, decreasing the risk of injury.
Tips to Find Your Neutral Spine
1. Think of a thread running right through your body from the top to the bottom and when you pull on the thread it pulls you up and realigns the body.
2. Stand against a wall with your heels, buttocks, shoulder blades and head against the wall. Shoulders back and eyes looking straight forward. Tighten your abdominal muscles so your back doesn't go into a big arch.
3. Imagine a plumb line (or use a real one). The line would run from the hole in your ear, through the center of the shoulder, hip and knee right down to the ankle.
Just thinking about your posture will help you to stand taller. It will feel awkward at first but over time and practice this will become your new "normal" and your poor posture will then feel uncomfortable.
Stretching tight muscles (often chest and hamstrings but not limited to) and strengthening weak ones (upper / middle back and postural muscles) will greatly help you to bring your body into neutral and keep it there. Working with a trainer or finding a good source for information such as "Impowerage" exercises for Older Adults will help you get started in the right direction…….UP!

It's that time again, Plainfield! Let's clean the exterior grounds of the library. This season, we have been asked to do the clean-up on a Friday!

It is our obligation to ensure that our city's premier cultural and community resource is kept clean. We will gather on the library steps at 10:00 am to begin our work. If you have hedge trimmers, please bring them! We would also like to clean the weeds out of the sidewalk cracks, especially on the Park Avenue side of the library, so if this is your area of expertise, please assist us!
The school year is about to begin, and the library will be busier than ever--especially our Children's Library! Let's ensure that every one of our kids is able to enter our library grounds and see it at its finest--meaning spruced up, cleaned up, and dressed up!

Today's smart thermostats take things one or two steps more. They can learn your habits and your schedule to heat and cool your house when you need it, and cut back on energy when you're not home. They're customizable and adaptable and you can interact with them using your smartphone, tablet or computer. The Lennox iComfort® thermostats provide many beneficial qualities that go well beyond the abilities of the traditional thermostat, or even a more modern programmable thermostat. They're designed to enhance energy efficiency and offer homeowners with pointers on energy usage and alerts when the HVAC system needs care. Users can remotely program these thermostats and some types can even learn your family's patterns and modify heating and cooling to keep things comfortable. Your HVAC system is usually the largest energy consumer in your home. With a programmable or smart thermostat, you'll get top control of your HVAC system and efficiently direct your home's energy usage. Here are some things to search for: It should be able to hold your home's temperature very close to its setting—the iComfort series thermostats will keep the temperature within 0.5 degree of its setting. The programmable thermostat should be able to manage your heating and cooling dependent on whether you're at home or not. Your thermostat should be well-suited with your HVAC system. You need to take into account its model and unique things like how many zones you need to work with. It should look pleasant—not like an eyesore in the middle of that living room mantel. iComfort gives you the selection of uploading a personal photo, like a family portrait or something that complements your ambiance, to use as a screensaver. Are you ready to learn even more? Call the professionals at Von Deylen Plumbing & Heating Inc. at 419-592-4756 and we'll answer your questions and educate you on the options we can integrate for you.

The Commons is also home to the Grandstandium – a small, relocatable grandstand which was launched as part of the Festival of Transitional Architecture in October 2014. A weekly programme of "Eyes on the City" will recommence soon, providing a front row seat from which the city's recovery can be viewed and critiqued, with live commentary, guest speakers, sausage sizzle and popcorn! If you didn't manage to get a seat at one of the Grandstandium's nine city locations last time, you can read about what you missed here.
The Grandstandium is able to move around the city to sit alongside a range of events – sport, arts, community, rebuild or otherwise – and is available to hire. For enquiries contact firstname.lastname@example.com. This project is being supported by Aurecon (engineering) and Steel and Tube (materials).
The name and intention of the Retro Sports Facility is rooted in the politics and the everyday experience of living in Christchurch. The name refers to the CCDU/CERA Anchor project, the Metro Sports Facility, which will be constructed in the next few years. Cantabrians are passionate about sport; it brings communities together. But in Christchurch at present, sport is a political issue. There are debates around the CCDU's proposed covered-stadium and the loss or closure of facilities such as QEII, Centennial Pool and suburban pools.
It often seems that art and sport are seen as oppositional in Christchurch. The Retro Sports Facility seeks to make sport more creative and art more athletic and takes inspiration from David Cross' inflatable Level Playing Field/Powerslide project as part of the SCAPE Biennial of Public Art in 2013 .
As part of the project, we are inviting people to suggest ideas for sports that can be played at The Retro Sports Facility for the seasons ahead.
We're seeking ideas for sports of a 'retro' persuasion that can be played here. They could be from people's childhood or from long ago. Ideas that we've had suggested so far include jousting, sack races, Old Boys Netball and tag. As part of this project we will organise regular sporting events based on people's suggestions as well as have sporting equipment available here each day for public use.
The Commons has gone through a range of changes following the deconstruction of the Pallet Pavilion. We are (re)creating a space to bring communities together in the city in a fun and inclusive way. Gap Filler is the site facilitator, overseeing a range of activities led by others such as a Food Collective, the Makercrate (maker space), the Arcades Project, Greening the Rubble (a plant exchange is coming soon), two work spaces, and community events. We also use the site for our own Gap Filler projects, like the Retro Sports Facility.
If you'd like to suggest your favourite RETRO sport, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or get in touch via Facebook/Gap Filler. It could be from your childhood, from the 1920s, from other cultures, the Roman Empire…? Get creative!
We're interested to hear from people who would be keen to run their own sporting events/games in-line with the RETRO theme on the green space, too.
Project Background
In 2013, the Minister for Earthquake Recovery publicly stated that Canterbury could become the sporting capital of New Zealand in reference to rowing and cricketing facilities being proposed for the city. In 2012, CERA was responsible for the incredible feat of constructing an 18,000-seat temporary stadium in just 100 days. This stadium, located in the suburb of Addington, was to provide a home for the Crusaders rugby team primarily as well as for other sporting events such as soccer. This feat was made possible by the extraordinary emergency powers in the CER Act. Lack of sport in Christchurch is an emergency it would seem. Meanwhile, the Christchurch Art Gallery has been closed since February 22, 2011 and will not open again until 2015. As yet, no temporary facility has been created for the gallery, which has enterprisingly made do with a range of short-term venues in buildings and new innovative structures (Art Box). In a city where art and sport are often seen as oppositional, the Retro Sports Facility seeks to make sport more creative and art more athletic. This project takes inspiration from David Cross' POWERSLIDE project as part of the SCAPE Biennial in 2013.
In July 2014, Gap Filler with Alejandro Haiek-Coll ran a one-day experiment that fed the development of the Grandstandium project. Read more here.

I recently put together a piece about my inspirations as an artist. I looked at the work I most enjoy creating, night photography. Looking back at when my work during the twilight hours all began I thought about the artists who most inspired me and pushed me to create better work. I came up with three artists:
Chris Faust
Alec Soth
The first two both have an exceptional body of work in the world after sundown. Brassai was a early to mid 20th century photography who mostly worked in Paris. Chris Faust is a Minnesota native who still uses film to capture the magical movement of light across the landscape. Both inspired me in different ways and made me look at things from unique perspectives. Alec Soth is another Minnesota artist who has inspired me to think deeper about the places I photograph from reading his blogs and interviews.
Please take the time to check out the post and my thoughts as well as images from me and the artists I discuss here:

Adopt A Mile Program.
Each year, since February 2000, the Spring City Cycling Club adopts responsibility for the mile of roadway at the top of the Cecil Ashburn. We pick up litter on this section of road and are recognized by the City of Huntsville with signs marking the adopted mile.
For 2018: There are 3 sessions of 8 pledges each for a total of 24 pledges of which 3 are session leaders. The first 2 sessions are on Tuesday evenings and the 3rd session is the first Saturday morning of November with rain day the first Sunday morning of November. The amount of time is 2 hours.
The project season begins Tuesday March 27th. It's a beautiful place, it is good company, and it is an adult Easter egg hunt. Some folks ride their bicycles there and afterwards every one is invited to a group meal at a local restaurant chosen by that session's leader. SCCC officers have approved funding the group's meal up to $75.
The March and July pickups will be evening sessions. Our November Saturday morning session remains as popular as ever for seeing the sights in the brisk fall air.
Sessions are
Tuesday March 27th 5:30-7:30pm, (rain Wednesday March 28th) Click here to view pledges.
sunset 7:15pm daylight savings starts March 12th
Tuesday July 3rd 5:30-7:30pm, (rain Tuesday July 10th) Click here to view pledges
Saturday Nov. 3rd 9-11am with lunch afterwards (rain Sunday Nov. 4th) Click here to view pledges
Group meal afterwards for each session; Up to $75 paid for by SCCC
SCCC Adopt a Mile Project
Cecil Ashburn Drive – Blevin's Gap
Land Trust parking lot
By Marjorie Holderer 2018
Why Adopt a Mile for the club? SCCC adopted Cecil Ashburn as part of the City of Huntsville Operation Green Team program in 2000. Since the club has also participated in many other clean our city programs in the past, adopting a road section is aligned with the club's historic civil values. Since the organization name is posted on signs at the beginning and ending of a section, the club effort provides a constant, visible source of public recognition. We have a visible relationship with city officials for whom beautification is important.
Why Cecil Ashburn? Cecil Ashburn is a city designated bike route and it is THE best cycling, most scenic east/west crossing in the county. SCCC members and other cyclists in Madison County worked hard to have this be the first local road smooth paved with 8-foot wide shoulders. At the time, this was not a given but a multi lettered, multi argued, multi head banging exercise for 2 years. Those shoulders are something this club won for itself and the county. We caused the Mayor and our council members to repeatedly go to the state DOT and get the job done. It is a beautiful stretch of road that is a pleasure to ride and provides the safest passage between the western and eastern sides of Madison County. It's a good place for this club to take a public stand.... and look around. We earned the view and the climb.
What commitments does the Adopt A Mile program require? We agree to 'keep it clean' for a year - whatever that means to us as a club. Trucks do not use this road. This road doesn't have unsupervised parking spots so we've been spared the loads of romantic night toys and glass bottles that other spots regularly get. The trash seems to be stuff flying outta pickup beds and fast food junk flying outta windows. We pick up 6-12 trash bags each session. In addition, the Huntsville Land Trust has acquired the property and parking lot at the top of the pass, so we now have partners with similar outdoor values. This has reduced the frequency of dumping home improvement debris.
What is our project structure? Each year January through mid March, the club officers approve the process of formulating a new annual project. That entails reviewing results from the previous year, consider club member willingness to renew the project for another year, design a new project, and enroll participants. Before we, the club and its officers, sign up for the job, we require a list of volunteers who select in advance one or more sessions to work. For 2018 we need 24 pledges, 8 pledges for each of three pickup sessions. We also need 2 additional session leaders. All volunteer slots must be spoken for before it becomes an official club project. Once that happens, the Huntsville Operation Green Team and the Huntsville Land Trust are notified that we are active for the current year.
What are the participant roles in the club project? The club has a project manager (or point of contact), session leaders, and participants. The project manager annually selects dates, writes articles, creates a participant spreadsheet, and a signup sheet for the project plus reports on progress to club, city, and club officers. Works with each participant to select dates, sends reminders, report results, and records alternative actions if participant becomes unable to play with us. Enrolls and trains other session leaders. Arrange city delivery and pickup of supplies and pickup of trash.
The session leader acquires confirmation from that session's pledges and selects the restaurant for the group dining. Brings supplies to the site, dispenses supplies, and instructs each participant during the session. The session leader takes photographs of the group and the haul, assesses the work and reports results to club officers and project manager. This report (and photos) is published in the club newsletter and the club website for the following month. It is also used by the City of Huntsville and the Land Trust.
Session leader instructions click here.
What does a participant agree to do? January through mid March a participant selects one or more sessions that are desirable to work. No need to be shy. Throw your dart on the board. As the session date becomes near, if that time no longer works, say so straight out. When schedule conflicts show up, we'll figure out how to work around them.
Show up for 2 hours of pickup session OR work on your own for 2 hours anytime during the week prior to a session. Wear long sleeve clothes and sturdy shoes. Bring water if hot temperatures. There may be some scrambling over the rock slopes. Park and meet at Land Trust parking lot. Starting from the parking lot, teams of 2 each work down east and 2 person teams work down west from the parking lot. One or two people remain at the parking lot picking up trash there. It seems to work well to have a scrambler that's comfortable covering the rocks. It works to stay until both east and west sides) are done. If very many people leave early or when 'their side is done' a couple of people risk being left with a boatload more work. Whenever possible, support the group until it is clear that group needs are satisfied.
Please contact me; the project manager, if you think you could do one or more sessions sometime this year. (256 684.9700) or mjholderer(at)icloud.com). I will initiate contact with the folks that signed up and discuss with each person what dates work for them.
One last thing. It frequently happens that participation in volunteer activities is well supported in the beginning and then wanes until the champion (often the project manager) tires of carrying the load. Therefore, the design of this project requires individual members to make a pledge up front and has the implicit agreement that if/when it becomes a struggle to enroll participants then the project manager is done and the project is also done. By consciously reviewing and renewing annually, the club official and members ACTIVELY decide what will and won't be done over a reasonable time period. For 19 years, this seems to be working well and I deeply appreciate all the club members that have made this easy.

PHILADELPHIA — When a second grader came to the Andrew Jackson School too agitated to eat breakfast on Friday, an aide alerted the school counselor, who engaged him in an art project in her office. When he was still overwrought at 11, a secretary called the boy's family, and soon a monitor at the front door buzzed in an older brother to take him home.
Under a draconian budget passed by the Philadelphia School District last month, none of these supporting players — aide, counselor, secretary, security monitor — will remain at the school by September, nor will there be money for books, paper, a nurse or the school's locally celebrated rock band.
"I am worried sick," said Lisa Ciaranca Kaplan, the principal, whose homey school in South Philadelphia serves 410 students, speaking 14 languages, all of whom qualify for free meals. "How do I relieve teachers for lunch if I have no one in the lunchroom? I'll be the only person in this building who's not in a class."
Pink slips were recently sent to 19 percent of the school-based work force, including all 127 assistant principals, 646 teachers and more than 1,200 aides. Principals are contemplating opening in September with larger classes but no one to answer phones, keep order on the playground, coach sports, check out library books or send transcripts for seniors applying to college.
"You're not even looking at a school that any of us went to," said Lori Shorr, the mayor's chief education officer. "It's an atrocity, and we should all be ashamed of ourselves if the schools open with these budgets."
William R. Hite Jr., the first-year superintendent, said the $2.4 billion budget reflected the consequences of shortsighted fiscal decisions in the past. "The point is there's not enough revenue to adequately serve the children of the city," he said.
Mr. Hite and Mayor Michael A. Nutter are seeking $304 million in extra revenue from the city, the state and teachers' givebacks. So far the parties that have been asked to contribute have fallen short of coming up with the requested money.
Despite five visits to Harrisburg to lobby Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican, and the General Assembly, the mayor made little progress: last Thursday the House passed a budget with just $10 million extra for Philadelphia schools.
"At this moment there's no obvious path to reach the outcome being sought by the Philadelphia School District," said Erik Arneson, a spokesman for the Republican majority in the Senate.
The superintendent, citing the need for "shared sacrifice," is asking for salary cuts from teachers of 5 to 13 percent and a wage freeze through 2017. Jerry Jordan, president of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, called the cuts unreasonable. "Our members have done a tremendous amount of sacrificing," Mr. Jordan said. "They were sacrificing before we started sharing."
Philadelphia's schools, whose chronic budget problems led to a state takeover in 2002, have not been this close to the abyss in memory. The troubles have many causes: rising pension costs, high debt payments for past borrowing that papered over budget gaps, a flight to charter schools and a block-grant formula for state aid that has fallen behind enrollments, which have increased 5,000 a year between charter and traditional schools, according to Mr. Hite.
A School District Braces for a Painful September

State aid to Philadelphia schools declined by $274 million in the past three years, according to the Pennsylvania State Education Association.
"The state has never funded the city of Philadelphia and its schools very well," said Michael Casserly, executive director of the Council of the Great City Schools. "For decades now it has been the subject of lawsuits and partisan politics and pushing and shoving, and the chickens are finally coming home to roost."
With 33 percent of its 200,000 students in charter schools, the district made a long-delayed decision in March to close about 30 underused schools, over the objections of hundreds of protesters and Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, who was arrested during a demonstration.
The mayor is making the most progress in coming up with more money. With a goal of $95 million, the city identified $28 million it would go after from delinquent taxpayers. On Friday, the City Council approved a $2 fee per pack of cigarettes, expected to raise $40 million. But the day before, a bill to raise the alcohol tax, opposed by bar owners, stalled.
"We are at a critical moment in terms of the future of this city," said Mark McDonald, the mayor's spokesman.
So far the new revenues fall far short of what is needed to recall the 3,783 laid-off school staff members and reverse the cuts to supplies and programs. The morale of teachers and principals ranges from grim resolve to near despair. "I've been a no-nonsense, really dedicated principal; I'll get the job done," said William Wade, principal of Martin Luther King High School, who is losing 48 staff members.
Marielle Casanova, the counselor at Andrew Jackson School, whose morning was given over to the unruly second-grader, predicted chaos. "There's only so much a classroom teacher can do for behavior issues or emotional outbursts," said Ms. Casanova, who has received a pink slip along with all 282 counselors in the district.
Ms. Kaplan, the principal, returned often to the same word to describe the cuts: "devastating."
"Do we just want a building that houses children until they get to the new prison they're building?" she said.
As parents arrived for an international literacy day on Friday, they set out a potluck lunch of Mexican empanadas and Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches. Ms. Kaplan greeted the room of about 40 mothers and a few fathers in three foreign languages: "Hola. Ni hao. Salaam aleikum."
The real purpose of the gathering was to encourage parents to read to children over the summer because the budget cuts had eliminated summer school. It was a serious blow because research shows that children lose a significant level of skills during the summer when not in class.
"Make sure your children read and you read with your children," said Ms. Kaplan as student helpers passed out donated coloring books and three Hannah Montana adventures.
"I'm sorry if you have boys," she said. "These were all I could get. They were free."

June 21 – August 26, 2018
Koffler Gallery
Artscape Youngplace, 180 Shaw Street
Curator: Mona Filip
SUMMER OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday, June 21, 2018 | 6–9 PM | FREE
ARTIST & CURATOR TALK: Sunday, June 24, 2018 | 2 PM (Program in French)
FREE EXHIBITION TOUR: Every Saturday | 2 PM
Argentinian-born, Québec-based artist José Luis Torres works with sculpture, installation and public intervention, appropriating spaces and hijacking meaning through simple actions that subvert everyday materials and the conventions of handicraft. Influenced by his experience of displacement, Torres' creative explorations focus on space and place, generating whimsical artworks where spontaneity and accumulation recur in connection to ideas of economy, survival, labour and the ready-made.
At the Koffler Gallery's invitation, Torres creates a site-specific sculptural installation focused on three notions central to the experience of migration: camouflage, reflection and construction. Attempting to blend into the new cultural milieu and to mirror social conventions is a familiar process to newcomers. As assimilation indelibly affects one's sense of identity, layers of individuality risk being chipped away to near invisibility, or reconfigured and rebuilt into ever more complex self-expression.
Metaphorically exploring the adaptation strategies and fluid reinvention of immigrant identity, Torres transforms the exhibition space through material interventions, building an immersive setting that disrupts visitors' expectations. The installation unfolds as an all-encompassing, seemingly endless construction that reflects the state of precariousness and perpetual change intrinsic to the immigrant condition. Cultivating the ways in which coexisting, unplanned elements can modify each other to generate constantly evolving environments, Torres' work enables us to re-examine how we inhabit and adjust to our surroundings.
