Got any plans for today?
Hi insig. How are you?
I'm hoping to do some reading, the murder mystery I got from the library. How's your day going? |
I hope you enjoy it!
It's ok. Just struggled with attaching the electric fence at the bottom of the field. There are lots of wires! Did it in the end, with help from mum! May pop to the co op later. It's only about a 20 min walk. It is very warm though! |
A walk in the sunshine :) I might read in the garden.
Hopefully i won't get too warm!
I only have jeans with me! It's certainly a nice day for reading in the garden! |
Electric fences are a major hassle.
Very warm here too. I am in shorts and had to come in from garden after 25 minutes as it was so warm, reckon we need to put gazebo up soon so we have some shade on our garden again. How goes the murder mystery Tamo? Is it the Richard Osman one? I haven't read any of his but have heard good things. |
They are!
Gazebo is a good plan. Mum has a permanent one but I'm not messing about with it. There is a shade that comes out of the balcony but I'm not sure where the button for that is XD |
I will start with the most important question. Egg sandwich - fried or egg mayo? I hope you get everything done, Beckie and it's not too much of a task. I'm glad you have nice weather and can relax in it.
I hope you manage to do some fun things today, Jen. I hope you get some reading done, Tamo and it helps with your anxiety. |
Fried egg! I don't think there's mayo here.
Just been to the co op! How are you lindsay? |
I spent 45 minutes reading in the garden. I kept my jumper on because I didn't want to need suncream! My book is by Ian Moore, it was recommended by amazon because I liked Richard Osman, and it's good so far.
I had a phone call today to confirm my CBT - no one has said anything about this to me and I didn't know I'd been referred for it.
I thought I was having medical psychotherapy and was awaiting dates. Anyway, I called them and because I'm at work the time they offered, I've moved it but they say I have to do the same time every week. I can't do this with work and I've already had to use all my holiday for the medical psych appointments. I can't do both!! How is everyone? |
I really don't understand the 'has to be at the same time every week' thing tbh.
Shift workers exist! I'm ok. Bit bored! |
I'm not bored, I've got doctors to watch.
How frustrating Ahimsa, can they really not be more ... sensible? |
How can anywhere not have mayo?
Did you get anything nice at the co op, Beckie? I'm glad you're enjoying your book and have Doctors to watch, Tamo. No one is giving you a break, are they, Beth? I'm so sorry things are complicated and unfair. Does your work not allow you reasonable adjustments to have time to go to appointments? (Sorry if this has been asked before). I think they have to do this but I'm not entirely sure. I'm having a difficult day as usual. Will soon go and put the bins out and fill the bird feeders. |
I don't have mayo!
Got a few bits. Coke zero, of course! There was some ben and jerrys on special offer for £3 something. I was melting from walking there so it seemed more appealing than it normally would so an impulse purchase! I just went and watered the plants. I only have to water the ones that haven't been planted yet. More worried about looking after the plants than all the animals XD Sorry you're having a tough day. Hope you can keep distracted. |
It's too hot and bright to read outside!
It's too hot and bright to do anything outside imo!
Even the dogs have retreated to their nice cool room rather than outside or kitchen! |
What are you up to?
* waves* I managed to meditate, make my own lunch, nap for an hour and a bit and see my partner's sister(which was lovely). Now considering another rest. I said my day wasn't very busy but it has been quite a lot to do for little old me in the end. Not quite got all of my energy back yet.
Well done :) sounds like a rest is in order.
I'm just sitting in the garden listening to music.
After emotionally blackmailing vodafone into not cutting me off XD Well done jen! Rest if you need to! :) |
I have done some stretches, debating whether I need to rest. I probably do but at same time really don't feel in the mood to full on rest so just vegetating in front of some you tube.
XD good work emotionally blackmailing vodafone |
I want to hear more about this emotionally blackmailing Vodafone! Just for reference. I may be able to use it in the future. (no I won't I'm a wimp).
That sounds like a busy day to me, Jen. Well done with what you've managed. |
The reasonable adjustment is me using my holiday in hours rather than days, to go to my medical psych appointments ☹
Is there someone you can talk to about reviewing it?
Watching youtube would count as rest in my book!
Well, they 'restricted my service'. So no calls, texts or data. Which isn't restricted. That's all of it XD And i just said with having epilepsy and living alone, i was 'a bit anxious' about not having access to a phone. So he spoke to his supervisor and sorted it. No longer restricted service! That doesn't sound very reasonable to me beth! |
That's very clever, Beckie, but also true.
It's definitely less activity but there is still a cognitive load to concetrating on watching TV
And its my brain that has issues so technically I should do a full rest. |
Will you try and properly rest soon, Jen?
Oh great. Crookshanks has a burst anal gland AGAIN!
It is true, which is why i don't feel too awful about it!
Because knowing how life goes, the couple of days i don't have a working phone is when **** will happen XD Ah ok. Makes sense. Oh nooo lindsay! |
He's had so many. I can look after it myself hopefully but I think there is an operation he can have because it happens so frequently but I'd rather not go down that road.
Oh no!! Is he okay?
I think it's something np's cat gets quite a bit too?
Yeah. We've been through this many times before. If I keep it clean it will heal up itself without getting infected hopefully.
Oh no, poor Crookshanks.
I know, he's a poor wee baby.
What's everyone doing with the rest of the day?
Aww poorly kitty.
I will tr and rest properly soon, but having issues persuading myself right this second |
Would you like a stern talking to, Jen?!
My friend is cooking me dinner :)
Doesn't sound like a pleasant thing to clean!
I should probably think about dinner. Been trying to convince myself that ben and jerrys is not an acceptable meal. And I'm sure jenna would have something to say about it XD I need to shower too. Are you doing role-playing tonight jen? |
What are they cooking, Beth? I hope you enjoy it.
It's not smelly or anything, Beckie. It's a hard one, giving up the Ben and Jerry's for a proper meal but it has to be done! Do they have showers with fancy heads and buttons etc? |
I'm making a cup of tea and going to watch doctor who.
I hope you enjoy your tea and Doctor Who, Tamo.
Oh that's good!
Guinea pigs have scent glands that sometimes need cleaning which is meant to be gross. And boys can get constipated when they get old so apparently you just have to pull out the poop. Oh the joys.... I've never really paid much attention to any of the showers tbh! |
Eww, pulling out poop!
I hope you have a nice shower anyway. |
I am meant to be roleplaying tonight so it would be super sensible to rest to allow me to roleplay etc. But roleplaying isn't until 7:45pm and I just don't want to rest. |
:hop: |
All times are GMT +1. The time now is 02:40 PM. |

(Kingsbury, IN) - There was a fire this morning at the Kingsbury Industrial Park where firefighters in protective suits worked in 400 degree temperatures.
There was no structure damage at Precoat Metals where steel coils are taken to be cleansed and painted before use in making products.
La Porte County Hazardous Materials Coordinator Jeff Hamilton, who's also firefighter, said a flash fire in the paint room sent flames from an oven heated to about 700 degrees into the metal ventilation ducts at the plant.
The flames kept burning from the fumes and other forms of flammable residue that can build up inside the duct work, which is not unusual for such an operation.
Hamilton said an automatic fire suppression system using carbon dioxide to extinguish the flames worked as designed. There were still hotspots inside the duct work, though. Firefighters climbed inside the duct work and cut holes in the duct work to allow them to access hoses for dousing the hot spots with water.
Hamilton said the inside of the duct work in some parts of the structure exceeded 400 degrees.
Protective gear providing a shield against the heat was worn, but firefighters had to be rotated in and out of the duct work every ten minutes for relief from such extremes.
"That takes a toll on a person and you can't work for long periods of time. You have to take breaks," he said.
Firefighters were at the scene for close to three hours.

Fox Hunting a Humane Approach
Fox Hunting a Humane Approach. There is no question that foxes are a major problem in Australia on many levels. It is not, however, their fault and as living creatures if they are to be hunted, they deserve an ethical approach.
Table of Contents
Fox Hunting. I spent my teen years growing up in rural Australia. As with many of us in that environment, hunting was just something you did. You used a firearm in my case and shot any feral pest that you came across. Including that cunning predator, the fox. When you go hunting in Australia in a farmland setting it is difficult not to come across them and in this pursuit, we killed a good number.
I was not comfortable, at times, with the way we did this. There were some messy kills and it struck me that I could do it better. It is with this article that I explore some ways in which I can help advance that idea.
The problem with foxes in Australia
The European Red Fox was introduced to Australia in the 1860s for recreational hunting and rapidly spread throughout southern Australia. Their primary prey is another introduced animal, the rabbit. It did not take long, however, for the fox to acquire a taste for Australia's native fauna.
The European Red Fox has been listed as key threat to native endangered and vulnerable species
Small marsupials, mammals and ground nesting birds are at high risk as well as lizards and frogs. Their diet is not confined to native wildlife. Poultry, lambs, goat kids and domestic pets are also killed by foxes.
The fox is officially recognized in Australia as a pest animal by causing the destruction of agriculture, wild ecosystems and natural resources.
In some cases foxes have been known to kill up to 30% of newborn lambs.
Fox Hunting Australia as a Control Method
Fox control is difficult and various methods have been employed including trapping, baiting and den fumigation. Shooting is, arguably the most humane of these control methods as long as it is done in a manner that is likely to kill instantly thereby minimising unnecessary suffering.
The most humane approach
A model has been developed under the Australian Animal Welfare Strategy for assessing the relative humaneness of fox control best practice. A worksheet of that modelling can be found here: Fox Ground Shooting Worksheet
The method that showed the least suffering was a headshot from a static position.
Various concepts can be taken from this study and I have outlined my take on what was presented.
Humane methods of shooting foxes take into account:
If the fox is within range of the firearm
Know your firearm and its limitations. If your target happens to be 300 metres and you are using your average .22 rifle then you are unlikely to even hit the object you are aiming at. Let alone placing a headshot.
Whether the target is clearly visible
This is fundamental. When hunting anything you must be able to clearly identify your target.
Use of appropriate firearm and ammunition
This should happen in the preparation stages. What are you hunting? What is the best caliber and cartridge for hunting foxes? (Check out Luke's article on Basic Cartridge Selection)
Correct shot placement
One shot, one kill! Great in an ideal world but we know it does not always happen. The concept is to give yourself and your target the best possible chance of a clean kill.
Make sure your first target is dead before moving to the next.
Locate and dispatch any wounded animals preferably with a second shot to the head.
A final word
With these factors of humane fox hunting considered, there are lots of other things to help with a successful hunt. We will cover legal requirements, safety, where to go and equipment in other articles. Read on.
Further information may be found here Standard Operating Procedure – FOX003
The PestSmart website provides information about invasive vertebrate pests in Australia: their biology, ecology, impacts and best practice management. It is based on the latest science, evidence and knowledge.
PestSmart is managed through the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions (CISS) which is a national collaborative research, development and extension organisation, formed to tackle the ongoing threat from invasive species.
Want the right rifle for your needs? Check out this article. You should probably decide on the cartridge first, it may help you along your quest.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can you shoot a fox with a 22 rimfire?
- Higher velocity ammunition, such as the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire or the .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire.
- Range within 50m, any further and you are unlikely to get a humane kill.
- Head Shot, again, looking for that humane kill.
Can you shoot foxes in Australia?
Yes. All shooters must be appropriately licensed. Landowners can shoot foxes on their own land. Recreational shooters must gain permission from private landowners to hunt. On most public lands shooting of foxes is prohibited. Keep in mind Australian states have their own regulations. New South Wales for example does allow regulated shooting in some areas.
What time is best to hunt a fox?
At dusk and just after dawn. Night time is also a good time by spotlight, night vision or thermal optics. It is not impossible to hunt them during daylight hours but it depends on their prey. If their food source is around at a particular time of day then that is when the fox will be most active.
What is the best spotlight for foxes?
Foxes are what you might call color blind, therefore can not tell the difference between red and green. Known as Dichromatic Vision. Spotlights with warmer temperature such as halogen spotlights will be less disturbing to the fox. (This is also why red filters are used on spotlights.) This can mean that the target may remain still, allowing time for a better shot.

Abstract in different language: | Turbine blades are subjected to nozzle excitation frequencies that can correspond to eigen frequencies during acceleration and deceleration phases so that it is necessary to introduce some form of damping to avoid fatigue and mechanical damage of the blade material. Friction based solutions are nonlinear and offer the interesting property to operate only when the level of vibrations reaches some threshold. But they can be difficult to tune and the availability of a model proves helpful for the designer. The system analysed in this paper is an experimental device consisting of 2 blades, which interact with each other through a so-called friction element (FE), in contact with the shrouds placed at the tip of the blades. The system is expected to reproduce the vibration response of the blades subjected to axial forces. During past experimental campaigns, one of the blades was excited out-of-plane (axially with respect to the turbine) by an electromagnet and the displacements of the blade tips and friction element had been measured. Different models of the device have already been developed: comprehensive finite element model and in house models developed under matlab . The latter possibly use different friction models, different kinematics of the friction element and can be based on time domain simulation or harmonic balance method. In this paper, we present a multibody model developed within the framework EasyDyn. Due to the nonlinear effects of friction, the equations of motion are solved in the time domain. The contact is introduced by defining, for each surface, 4 points of the friction element interacting with a plane attached to the shroud. The purpose is to analyse the influence of some modelling options: Rotation of the friction element, friction model, and normal force model and to draw rules concerning the possible simplifications. It turns out that the rotation of the friction element cannot be neglected if the normal contact stiffness is large. In this case, the deflection of the blades and the subsequent rotation of the blade shrouds make that the contact planes are no longer parallel, and that the bodies do not interact over the full expected contact surface. The contact stiffness will then have to be properly identified for reliable simulations. |

Vaxx lands on Cocoa Musica with 'Don't Stop' EP
When you think about Tech House artists, Canada may not be the first place that comes to mind. However, Toronto-based DJ/Producer Vaxx is setting the bar high for North American talent. What started as a keen appreciation for electronic music has gained the attention of some of the biggest labels in today's House Music world.
Vaxx's sonic signature may be misleading to some, given his locale, as he pumps a primarily European sound in the form of tribal-influenced, rolling Tech House with thunderous basslines and a keen emphasis on percussive creativity. Citing inspiration from the likes of Max Chapman, Iglesias, Latmun, Proudly People, Hector Couto and others, Vaxx has found his ever-growing catalogue of releases attaching themselves to imprints like Toolroom, Low:Res, Roush, Glasgow Underground, Under No Illusion, New Violence, Country Club Disco, Distance Music, Cocoa and more.
Today, he lands on Cocoa Musica with a two-tracker. His 'Don't Stop' EP features our premiere the title track 'Don't Stop' which you can listen to below. You can grab the whole EP on Beatport.

While there are many brands of high quality German tools, few are as recognized as Stahlwille. Stahlwille Tools is well known not just for automotive tools, but they're a brand widely used by the aerospace industry. One of Stahlwille's contributions to aerospace was the "Tool Control" System which uses bright colors in the storage case that show only when a tool is missing. Stahlwille has also led innovation in aerospace applications by creating tools like the Anti Slip Drive, the Spline Drive the Quick Release and many more. The quality of Stahlwille Tools is among the best, anything less would be disastrous for those in aerospace.

According to a new report from Congressional reporter Michael McAuliff, a total of 21 GOP Senators got up out of their seats yesterday during Donald Trump's official Senate impeachment trial as Representative Adam Schiff delivered his speech to the Senators — some of whom reportedly were walking around to stretch their legs while others had apparently completely left the Senate chambers altogether — a move that flies in the face of Senate rules requiring the members of Congress to remain in their seats at all times throughout the hearings.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer penned a lengthy letter to their fellow Congressmen and women, in which they outlined in detail the rules and regulations that Senators would be expected to follow throughout the formal impeachment hearings in the Senate — including but not limited to, "Senators should plan to be in attendance at all times during the proceedings" as well as "remain in their seats at all times they are on the Senate floor during the impeachment proceedings."

— Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) January 15, 2020
However, it seems that more than one-third of the 53 Republican members of the Senate who are present to play their part in ultimately deciding the fate of Donald Trump didn't believe that said rules apply to them. Or, at the very least, just didn't care to follow them.

"Just counted 21 empty seats on the GOP side of the Senate, 2 on the Dem side, a couple hours into Schiff's presentation. Some are just stretching their legs, but most are not in the chamber. Some of them have been out of there for a while," McAuliff wrote on Twitter yesterday afternoon.

He then went on to specify that Senators Lindsey Graham, Bill Cassidy, and Jim Risch were of the most notable members of Congress to have been absent from their seats for a "long time."
Couldn't see when lot of people left, but Graham, Cassidy and Risch were all out for a long time. Graham scooted back when Schiff was talking about Zelensky cancelling the CNN interview.
— Michael McAuliff (@mmcauliff) January 22, 2020
While we expected this sort of childish, immature behavior out of the South Carolina, Trump-sympathizing Senator Lindsey Graham, who has repeatedly and publicly declared that he's already made up his mind in regard to Donald's transgressions and essentially wouldn't be giving this very real and very important process the time of day, it is a bit more surprising to see from Senator Cassidy — who stated earlier this week that he intended to "listen to both sides with an open mind" before he made his final decision.
But Senator Risch, well, he's already kicking things off on a bad foot no more than a couple of days into the hearings, as this marks the second time now that he's missed a good portion of what was going on inside the Senate chambers. But I suppose at least this time he was up and moving around, rather than falling asleep in his chair.

Do Babies Need Passports 2024? Apply for a Baby's Passport?
Are you excited to travel with a new addition to your family? But worried about the baby and his passport. Do babies need passports or not?
Yes, babies do need passports!
Every citizen belonging to the US needs a passport regardless of age, whether they are newborns, infants, or children. If you are willing to travel with children, ensure you have your baby passport along with you.
However, if you travel by land to Canada or on a closed-loop cruise, you won't need an infant passport for entry.
The processing time for a baby passport application varies between 4-6 weeks, so it is best to apply for a baby's passport as soon as possible like the same-day passport. To get complete details of the entire process, check out the details below:

Passport Requirements For Minors - Know the Legal Challenges
How to get a Baby's passport with one parent absent?
Unfortunately, the process of applying for a passport for infants is a little unbending. To avoid any kind of abduction or any other custodial issues, there are some additional passport requirements for minors:
Generally, to get a US passport for a baby, both parents need to stay present at the time of getting the infant passport. Again, this criteria reaches for all the children under 16 including newborns, toddlers, infants, or kids.
However, there is a flexibility in this law as if one parent is absent to get the child's passport, you will need additional documentation when going to the passport office in front of the acceptance agent.
If one parent cannot show up at the passport office in front of the acceptance agent, then the parent who shows up needs to offer some documents, which include the following:
- Notarized DS-3053 - statement of Consent for Absent Parents of the parent who didn't show up
- The driving license photocopy of the parent who didn't show up
- The state ID of the parent who shows up at the passport office.
- Apart from that, you also need to provide extra information to get the baby's passport.
What do I need for a child's passport - How to Apply for a Baby's Passport?
You need the following documents to apply for a baby's passport:
First, make sure to fill out the DS 11, which needs to be printed on a single-sided page. Avoid signing the form until you are present for the appointment at the passport office.
Next, get a copy of the birth certificate for the baby and take the original as well as a copy of the birth certificate. Once you get the infant passport, you will get the original US birth certificate back.
Then get an appointment with the local post office or passport agency to accept the passport application.
Both parents must show up at the passport office with the baby when getting the passport. You can also visit the state department website to find out the complete documentation list. The usual list of documents for proving parental relationships includes:
- A U.S. birth certificate
- Certification of Birth
- Adoption decree
- Birth certificate from another country
- Divorce/Custody Decree
- A court document demonstrating child custody
Finally, bring copies and originals of your state ID and driver's license for complete identification of yourself and your partner.
Another important thing that you need to bring for a passport for a newborn is two passport-sized photos with the specifications mentioned on the website.
Make sure that the baby is facing the camera alone. If the baby is small and cannot sit upright, then make sure he lies down on the floor with a white background.
When a parent visits the passport office at the time of the actual appointment, you need to sign the DS 11 form and pay the application fee, which is $100 for the application, and $35 for the acceptance fee, which needs to be paid individually.
For tracking applications, you can click on the following link.
Do both parents need to be present for the child's passport?
Planning to get the child's passport, you need to fill in the required information, ensuring that you have the necessary documents, which are listed on the website. You should get an appointment and present all the information in front of the passport acceptance agent.
For approving the application of the baby's passport, it is important that both parents are available at the time of the appointment.
In the event that one parent is absent, it is important to get additional documentation which includes the following:
- Notarized DS-3053 of the parent who didn't show up
- The driving license photocopy of the parent who didn't show up
- The state ID of the parent is important when showing up at the passport office.
Apart from that, you also need to provide extra information to get the baby's passport. In any case, some of these circumstances didn't go in your favor like one absent parent isn't reachable and you can't get a signed DS-3053 Consent statement from the other custodial parent, you can apply for Statement for Special Family Circumstances DS-5525.
This gives you leverage to travel solely with your baby without the consent of the other parent, but you have to give strong evidence about your efforts made to connect the other parent. It's luck by chance to get an approval for a minor passport.
How Much Is a Minor Passport - The Actual Cost of Minor Passport
The cost of the child's passport makes you wonder whether you are getting a passport card and a passport book for proving your USA identification. The passport card tips for using sea and land ports and the passport book tips for international travel.
The child's passport fee for each of them is different, which is as follows.
The passport book for first-time applicants costs you around $165 for those 16 years and older, while for children under 16, the cost of a minor passport book is around $135, and for renewals, it's $30.
For passport cards, the first-time applicants are 16 years or older; the cost is around $65. For applicants under 16, the price is $50. For renewals, it's $30.
For newborns, the baby passport application fee for a passport book is $100 with a $35 acceptance fee, while for a passport card, the application fee is $15, and the acceptance fee is $35.
For families traveling internationally, always shoot queries like, do babies need a passport? So I collected all the related information here!
It is a once-a-five-year process and is not so complicated.
For kids under 16, they need guardians to apply for a passport, and to apply for a children's passport, you need some documents. It is a straightforward process if both parents are available at when applying for baby's passport
However, for single parents, it might seem a difficult process, but there is a list of certain documents which you need to present at the time of baby passport application.

5,334 products from 49 retailers
You've seen 48 of 5,334 Products
When you picture yourself sitting down to work or to write, where are you sat? Perhaps it's a grand sweeping desk surrounded by matching furniture and covered with sheets of work, or perhaps it's a small quaint desk looking out over countryside or seascapes. No matter what your workspace looks like, there is most likely a desk of some sort involved. Arguably the most popular office based item of furniture available on the market (matched only by desk chairs!) desks are the staple of a workspace, and as such should be selected carefully and cautiously.
Things to consider when selecting a desk
Firstly, what kind of look are you trying to achieve with your desk? Yes, it may just be a practical purchase for you to work from, but your desk is something you will have to look at every day and draw inspiration from time and time again – so it might as well be something that you like and is pleasing to the eye. Far from the solid and boring desks of old design, the retail market is now packed full of different options and designs which range from corner desks to sweeping curved desks, small ladder desks which lean against a wall and industrial style metal box creations – perfect for a rustic warehouse vibe. So whatever look you want to achieve, your desk should – and can – reflect that, with our wide selection of retail and brand options. Secondly, what is comfortable for you? You will be sat at your desk for extended periods of time, so we suggest that our members spend some time thinking about what layout is most comfortable for them, in terms of the desk height, the leg space, any shelving or drawer space which comes built in, and the overall size. Positioning your desk correctly will have an impact on its comfort and ease of use, but make sure you start on the right track by selecting the best design for you as an individual. Then we come to the materials used and the craftsmanship which goes into the creation of a desk. The simple truth is, higher the quality of the materials user, the longer the lifespan of your desk will be – it will be easier to maintain, will remain comfortable for longer, and will ensure a high level of productivity for years to come. Finally, the little details. Is your desk going to be used primarily to hold a computer and support technical work? If so, ensuring that there is either space down the back of the desk, or a hole through which to thread wires and hide them underneath, will maximise the working space available and make sure you don't become distracted by excess wires.
Where can I find a great desk?
The most expensive desks tend to not always be the best, with some affordable retailers offering the finest in simple designs which come in a variety of sizes. Checking both dedicated office retailers and homeware stores is a good place to start, or you can look into the time and effort required to design your very own perfect desk. If you are looking to dress a whole office, it is worth looking at the retailers who offer full office furniture sets, with desks which compliment and match other items such as drawer sets, filing cabinets and shelving units. Often these provide a discount on each item if brought as a set, and can create a really clean finish to ensure your office looks and feels comfortable and stylish.

The Role of Right Ventricular Contractility in Patients Who Experienced Neurogenic Syncope
Volkan Emren, Uğur Kocabaş, Fatih Levent, Ersin Çağrı Şi̇mşek, Emre Özdemi̇r, Nihan Kahya Eren, Cem Nazlı, Mehmet Tokaç
Keywords: Echocardiography, head-up tilt testing, neurogenic syncope
Introduction: Left ventricular hyper contractility has been thought to have a major role at early phases of vasovagal syncope. However the right ventricular function during syncope has not been delineated clearly. The present study evaluated the right myocardial contractility in patients who experienced vasovagal syncope during head-up tilt test (HUTT). Patients and Methods: A total of 89 Patients, who experienced syncope between January 2012 and March 2014, were included in the study. All the patients underwent HUTT and were followed by transthoracic echocardiography. Results: Fifty patients experienced syncope during HUTT. There was no significant difference between the patients, who experienced syncope versus who did not, in terms of gender, age, ejection fraction (p> 0.05). Mitral lateral annular systolic (s') velocity (14 ± 3.8 vs. 13.3 ± 3.6; p= 0.625), septal annular s' velocity (11 ± 3.7 vs. 10.3 ± 2; p= 0.951) were similar following HUTT in patients with and without syncope respectively. However, tricuspid valve lateral annular s' velocity after tilt testing was higher in patients, who experienced syncope (17 ± 2.7 vs. 15.1 ± 3.0; p= 0.003). Conclusion: While left ventricular functions are not affected, right ventricular contraction is more powerful in patients who experience syncope during HUTT.

Clippers to sign former Spur who was released following sexual misconduct allegations
The Los Angeles Clippers are poised to sign guard Joshua Primo to a two-way contract, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Primo, 20, was drafted as the 12th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs, but was released from the team after only a single season following allegations that he exposed himself to multiple women.
Among the women to come forward was Dr. Hillary Cauthen, the team's sports psychologist, who accused Primo of repeatedly exposing himself to her during therapy sessions.
Those allegations led to Cauthen filing a lawsuit against Primo and the Spurs, alleging that the team did not do enough to protect her from the misconduct.
That lawsuit was eventually settled out of court, according to the New York Times.
On Friday, the NBA announced Primo, who was still without a team, would be suspended for four games without pay for "conduct detrimental to the league."
Hours after the suspension was announced, Wojnarowski said in a post that the Clippers intended to sign Primo to a two-way deal, meaning he will split his time between the senior team and their G League affiliate in Ontario.
An investigation by the league determined that Primo engaged in inappropriate behavior by exposing himself to women, although Primo insisted any indecent exposure was strictly unintentional.
"The league did not find evidence he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures," the NBA said in his suspension notice.
At the time of his release last year, Primo released a statement in which he said he was undergoing therapy for address "previous trauma."
Wojnarowski said Primo was still receiving ongoing therapy and that the Clippers felt comfortable enough with his progress and the conclusion of the NBA's investigation to give him the opportunity to play for the franchise.
Primo played one season of NCAA basketball, playing for the Alabama Crimson Tide before being drafted somewhat surprisingly by the Spurs. In his lone year in the NBA, Primo averaged 5.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, while shooting 37.2% from the field.

Tips to spend free time creatively
Getting inspiration is not just a divine spark that suddenly comes to us but can be mindfully guided by what we do. Even activities that at first glance seem to have nothing to do with creativity can give rise to new ideas.
Finding inspiration
Are there any childhood activities you stopped doing?
Colouring with crayons, for example. Or use a soft pencil to colour the edge of a piece of paper (torn or cut) and then smear it with your finger on another piece of paper. Or scratching on paper with a soft pencil while there is a penny underneath.
Check out pictures on Instagram
Get inspired by the many photos you can find on Instagram. You can search for keywords by the hashtags that most people use. Follow me while you're there. 🙂
Look at shop windows
What does the current fashion look like? What resources have been used to decorate the shop and make it attractive? What materials are hip?
Visit archives
If you are looking for inspiration for a product, you can look for archives in design museums. When you are interested in old texts or letters then archives of newspapers or city archives are a treasure.
I spent quite some time in a regional archive to discover my family tree. Those old manuscripts were beautiful to discover.
Visit the theatre
What do the decor and costumes look like? What has been used dramatically to make an often performed play or opera attractive or modern?
Leaf through magazines
If they are old magazines, you can tear out photos and try to combine them with new images. Make collages with the pictures or with texts.
Do something you do not dare to do
Ask for an interview with an artist you admire. Take that course you always thought you would not be good at.
Dream or daydream
They say you can't trust dreams. But especially weird dreams can be such a great inspiration for new ideas.
Take pictures using a theme
Just take photos of trees for a month. Or photograph only round shapes. Also, try to find scenes in just one colour (monochrome).
Related: How to Stay Inspired in Photography? Of these 7 Tips, I Particularly Like #6
Check out the colours of the fashion season
Look at the trends. What's hot. What's not.
Go to the movie
One of my best recommendations is Bon Dieu. I laughed until my face was hurting. Hilarious. Although this was just for relaxation. Another must-see is Kinky boots. I have seen this film several times and each time from a different point of view. Marvellous.
Imitating has a negative meaning in our society, but in the time of the guilds, an apprentice had to imitate the master to learn the craft. You learn a lot by trying to copy something exactly.
Look into a dictionary
Open it on a random page. Or search for a specific word and see what terms are mentioned in the explanation and then look up those as well.
Look at advertisements
Promotional photos and commercials have to pinpoint an idea in an extremely short period of time. How do they get their message across?
Browse through Pinterest
Like Instagram, Pinterest is very picture-oriented. It's easy to make inspiration boards for yourself to come back to time and again.
Watch the empty space
One of the exercises in a model or still-life drawing class is to focus on the negative space instead of on the subject. It's interesting to look that way when you are walking in a street or in nature.
Related: How is Negative Space Helpful for Designers and Artists?
Listen to music
Rhythm and timbres can inspire visual work. Take a look at CD covers. Does the cover reflect the atmosphere of the song you're hearing?
Make a poem
Use rhyme in an ordinary way. Or you can write the letters of your name in separate lines and take them as the first letter of a sentence.
Make lists
Lists and brainstorms evoke associative concepts. One leads to another, to the next, and so on, and so on.
Give your own twist to an imitation.
Take a hot shower
The best ideas come when you are relaxed and no longer consciously thinking about a problem. Eureka!
Open not just your eyes, but also your other senses
Or close your eyes and listen carefully. Only use your hands to 'view' an object. (It's such a pity most museums forbid touching the statues!)
Write with your non-dominant hand
You literally use another part of your brain when you discard your own automatisms. I taught myself to knit left-handed. This turned out to be very useful when knitting with several colours in the same project. Since I can knit back and forth without turning my work, the different knots of wool don't get tangled up.
Cut stamps of potatoes
Simple chores often give room for creativity. And the stamping itself can evoke new ideas.
Draw mindlessly
Doodling, mind-mapping, sketching, but also drawing what you see in front of you are great sources of inspiration.
Invent things that can not be real
Einstein has been able to develop the theory of relativity because he imagined that he travelled through space on a light beam.
Buildings and crowds inspire us as we walk around town. Trees and silence inspire us in nature.
Find an interesting exhibition
There are so many great museums that I always have a shortage of time. (Do you have my tips for a museum visit yet?)
Related: 17 Excellent Tips to Enjoy Art for Free
Make as many pictures as you can of an object
Change the point of view. Go far away for an overview and get closer to the details. Lie on your stomach or stand on the stairs.
Find etymological meanings
Or look up words in another language and examine similarities to sounds or words. In my graphic design practice, we got ideas for new names for projects or businesses by browsing an etymological dictionary, technical handbook, or dictionary.
Spending free time
If you're used to being inspired by the smallest event or simplest object, it becomes second nature. Do as all great artists do and keep a small notebook in your bag so that you can jot down any ideas you may have in writing or drawing.
What do you do to get a stream of ideas flowing? Let me know in the comment box below.

How to Build a Cultural Manifesto that Your Team Truly Embraces and Applies
The Anatomy of a Cultural Manifesto
Every winning team shares a set of shared values that act as guiding principles in how a team and all its members operate. Initially, these shared values may be implicit. But as the team grows, it becomes essential for these values to be explicitly defined and applicable to all team members. This is where the Cultural Manifesto comes into play: a clear mission statement supported by a set of explicitly defined values and behaviors that form the foundation of the team's success. But how do you create such a cultural manifesto? What are the components that every strong manifesto shares?
This post is the first part of a three-part series where we describe the path and approach to Cultural Maturity: from defining your winning culture, implementing your cultural values in your employee journey, to the collective application of your cultural values in the daily employee experience.
As a team begins to develop, the team culture evolves organically and is implicitly understood. Finding words to describe the values the team shares is simply not necessary. However, as the team exceeds a certain size and new members join, the team's culture is no longer self-evident. In fact, every growing team at this point must ensure that their winning cultural formula does not get lost.
This is where the cultural phase of a team transitions from 'implicit and undefined' to 'explicit and defined.' This typically happens when a team grows larger than about 20 team members.
Perhaps your organization is in this transition phase. Or maybe your team has already surpassed that size, and a well-defined set of cultural values is precisely what you need. In this deep dive, we delve into the building blocks and approach of a strong, embraced, and applicable Cultural Manifesto:
- Characteristics: What makes a good Cultural Manifesto?
- Contents: What structural composition should a Cultural Manifesto have?
- Approach: How do you approach this?
Part 1: What Makes a Good Cultural Manifesto?
Cultural Manifestos come in all shapes and sizes, which is entirely logical: every company has its unique culture. But your Manifesto is not just an expression of your culture's character; it's also a practical tool aimed at providing direction in your team's development and culture. And it can only fulfill that function when it meets certain characteristics:
- In Service of the Goal: Every good cultural manifesto starts with the company's purpose. What do we want to achieve, and which shared cultural values will lead us there? Culture is the means, business is the goal. Any manifesto that solely describes the culture in isolation misses a crucial element.
- Clear and Applicable: A manifesto is effective only when it helps team members put its content into practice. So, every good manifesto must not only be crystal clear but also formulated in a way that assists team members in translating it into daily practice.
- Embraced & Credible: Every culture is the sum of the group's behavior. Hence, a manifesto that describes a culture that isn't embraced in practice will not serve its purpose. A manifesto outlining a culture the team aspires to achieve (which is an ambition) is not an issue, as long as the team agrees that it's the right culture to strive for and collectively works towards it.
- Distinctive and Inspiring: While every manifesto consists of similar building blocks, it's crucial that team members recognize the uniqueness of your culture and can take pride in it. Clichés and generalities should be avoided. Attention to nuance and sharp language use is crucial.
To achieve these goals, both the structural composition of the Manifesto and the process of creating it need to be aimed at achieving these objectives. Below, we'll delve into both.
Part 2: What Structural Composition Should a Cultural Manifesto Have?
To ensure that a Cultural Manifesto is purposeful and practically applicable, each Manifesto must consist of several fixed 'building blocks.' These building blocks form the bridge between a company's mission and the daily behavior that leads to success. Let's walk through these building blocks using Spotify's Manifesto as an example:
Building Block 1: The Mission Statement
Culture isn't an end goal but a means to an end. Therefore, a Cultural Manifesto should start with the team/company's objective. The role of the mission statement is to clarify the ambition and what success looks like. This clarity guides the formulation of the culture enabling the team to achieve that goal.
A mission statement doesn't need to be a detailed plan outlining financial targets and growth figures. On the contrary, be cautious with overly 'fluffy' purpose statements ('change the world for the better') as they might be too vague in practice to provide direction.
Spotify's mission statement, with the term 'art,' indicates that they don't limit themselves to just music (but also include podcasting), see both creators (musicians/podcasters) and listeners as their audience, and go beyond mere listening/unlocking to 'inspiring.' This is reflected in Spotify's practices, notably in their continuous quest for new features to discover music together.
Building Block 2: Cultural Values
Following the mission statement are the cultural values: a set of shared principles guiding how the team interacts and collaborates. These values apply to everyone, regardless of role or experience level.
These values are about the sum total: they complement and balance each other out. Structurally, each value follows the same format:
Building Block 2A: A Value
Every cultural value can be summarized in one word: a particular characteristic essential to the overall cultural formula. These terms are usually straightforward and not particularly distinctive, and rightfully so—there's no reason to aim for originality at this level.
Building Block 2B: A Mantra
Next is the mantra: a catchy phrase aimed at staying in people's minds. It's preferably active ('we always do...') and designed to generate interest and enthusiasm. The goal is to infuse personality and uniqueness into the wording. If the formulation allows for a bit of multiple interpretations, that's not an issue.
Building Block 2C: Description
While the mantra focuses on catchiness and uniqueness, the underlying description aims to provide clarity. It's a brief paragraph meant to ensure that everyone understands the same thing, specifying what is meant and why this value is indispensable for success.
Building Block 2D: Behavioral Examples
Finally, each value is supported by several behavioral examples illustrating how that value manifests in practice. These examples don't need to be exhaustive; the aim is to mention a few examples ('consider...') to help team members link the definition to daily practice. It helps them apply these values in their work and interactions, translating them across different levels within a team (e.g., Junior, Mid-level, Senior).
The cultural values remain consistent regardless of your role level. However, how a value looks at the behavioral level differs based on whether you're a starter or in a leadership role.
Part 3: How Do You Approach This?
To arrive at a mission-driven yet embraced and credible Manifesto, a particular paradox must be overcome. Namely: defining culture isn't a democratic process. But culture is -by definition- of the entire group. How do you deal with this contradiction in your approach?
We believe that 'co-writing' is the best way to create a strong and embraced manifesto. For this, a group of representatives (ideally a diverse cross-section of old/young, high/low in experience, leadership/non-leadership, etc.) from the team should come together as the co-writing team.
By going through a joint writing process with them, you not only achieve a credible result but often also benefit the uniqueness and character of the Manifesto. However, this approach only works when several important conditions are met:
- Goal-driven: The role of the co-writing team is to collectively formulate the culture that enables the team to achieve its goal. The co-writing team's role isn't to determine that goal (that's up to the founder, director, partners, board, whoever). In short, the mission statement must be fixed before the co-writing process can start and serve as a briefing.
- Ambition: Throughout the process, it must be clear that the aim is to define the culture that guides the team towards its goal. Therefore, the defined culture can be an ambition. It's not about describing the culture as it is today. If there's too great a gap between cultural ambition and cultural reality, the co-writing team will quickly identify it.
- Iteration: Your Manifesto should be distinctive and unique but also applicable. For this reason, iteration is essential: ensure the co-writing team quickly produces a first version and immediately tests its practical applicability (for example, by using the draft values in a feedback exercise). This way, you identify overlaps, blind spots, and can concretely refine as needed.
- Facilitation: The co-writing process should yield results and not become an endless debate. Two roles are crucial here. The first role is process facilitation: ensuring the team sticks to the briefing and makes concrete choices. The second role is that of the copywriter: capturing the input from the co-writing team and making it concrete in language.

Our Store Hours - Mon-Fri 7:30 am - 6 pm, Sat 8 am-5pm, Closed Sunday
Perspectives, Inc. is a locally owned, independent retailer of paint, wallpaper, window treatments, blinds, shutters and design services located in Lexington, Ky. for over 40 years.
Perspectives has a wide selection of wallpaper our customers want in both current and in-stock patterns in a variety of styles and prices. Our current inventory includes over 2,000 rolls of wall coverings and borders. Our library of 1100+ special order wallpaper books includes selections from nearly all manufacturers of both consumer and commercial wallpaper – including documentation of fire ratings and health ratings.
Most special order wallpaper is discounted 25% or more off book price.
Most special order wallpaper is discounted 25% or more off book price and we have a rotating selection of books at 50% off book price. Our in-stock patterns are offered at discounts equal to or greater than the discounts on special order patterns, with prices from $1.99 to $40.00. Recent additions to our in-stock selections include designer wallpapers from Candice Olson at substantial savings off suggested retail price. Additional types of special order patterns includes peel and stick, paintable, and textured wallpaper, and murals of all types and sizes along with Stacked Wood and Atomic 50 tin products.
Perspectives Paint and Design Center is the largest commercial wallcovering supplier in Central Kentucky, providing product for many major commercial construction projects including hospitals, medical, legal, and commercial offices, retirement communities, the hospitality industry and state and local government buildings. Our staff is familiar with the special requirements of the commercial wallcovering market, including documentation of fire ratings and the importance of on-time delivery.
A word about ordering wallpaper- Perspectives Paint and Design Center fully supports the efforts of the North American Hardware and Paint Association (NHPA) to combat the "800-number Pirates" that plague our industry. These unscrupulous vendors will tell customers to "shop your local store and call us with your order" and "avoid paying sales tax". This takes unfair advantage of the local dealer, who has to maintain his or her shop, buy the wallcovering sample books (yes, we have to buy these books at an average cost of $60.00 per book – they are not free!), maintain and train the staff to answer questions and help solve problems for our customers, both residential and commercial. The "pirates" have none of the overhead that your local dealer has to maintain – all they have is a room with a phone. Plus, the sales tax is still due – most states require the buyer to report and pay sales tax on purchases of this type. Perspectives Paint and Design Center urges our visitors to patronize their local dealer first – if you don't have a local dealer or if they can't find the pattern you are looking for, we'll be glad to try to help you.
For availability or pricing of patterns please call : 859-277-0521 or visit our new Design Center and view our Special Order Book Library which includes collections from Designers such as Joanna Gaines, Carl Robinson, Antonina Vella, Candice Olson, Patty Madden, Ronald Redding, Nina Hancock and more. We also have a broad selection of styles from Schumacher, Thibaut, York, Brewster, Seabrook, Warner, Patton, Rifle Paper Co. and Phillip Jeffries and other fine distributors.


text: Strong performance by the theatrical box office and rapid growth in Blu-ray and digital spending appear on track to bring total 2009 US film spending in at $28.4bn, down a fractional 0.3% from 2008. The volume of feature films, new-release and catalog, consumed across all the transactional markets—theatrical, home video retail and rental, video-on-demand and electronic sell-through—was up 4%. But the continued weakness in disc sales, where we estimate feature-film spending on DVD and BD combined will be down 13%, means spending on in-home film consumption will be down about 5%. That continued weakness—where robust growth in Blu-ray and on the Internet has not been enough to compensate for declines in DVD sales—prompted some of the thinking about potential windows and pricing changes contained in this exclusive AMR analysis.
