Academic Pharmacists
Academic pharmacists teach and do research in colleges and schools of pharmacy.
Ambulatory Pharmacist
Ambulatory Pharmacists accommodate decreases in patient hospital visits and inpatient days– a major goal of every health insurance company and health care organizations. They manage patients at risk for or experiencing drug-related problems (e.g. noncompliance, adverse drug reactions) and those with uncontrolled disease (hypertension, diabetes, asthma).
Ambulatory Pharmacists act as the first and/or most frequently seen health care providers in many rural areas. They provide extensive contact with geriatric populations and work as part of a system either directly controlled by a larger health care organization or through contracts with such organizations.
Clinical Pharmacist
Clinical pharmacists are a valuable resource in providing drug information as well as monitoring drug interactions and drug therapy.
Clinical pharmacists work anywhere from hospitals to nursing homes to home health care settings. They are
focused mainly on the patient and his or her medication, ensuring the medication is used appropriately to optimize treatment.
Community/Retail Pharmacists
Community Pharmacists give advice to customers on how to use prescribed medicines and will highlight when certain medicines should not be used in conjunction with alcohol or other types of medication.
Retail pharmacists advise customers about prescription and over-the-counter drugs, and their possible side effects and interactions.
Government Pharmacists
Government pharmacists work for the U.S. Public Health Service, the Veterans Administration, the Food and Drug Administration and the Armed Services. At the state and local level they are employed by regulatory, health and social service agencies
Home Care Pharmacists
Home Care Pharmacists, also known as home infusion pharmacy, mainly prepares injectables and delivers them to patients who are critically ill at home. Home Care Pharmacists do not dispense oral or external-use medications. They will often receives orders from doctors but still needs to communicate with nurses and the patient to ensure proper drug administration
Pharmacists who work in home healthcare monitor drug therapy and prepare infusions—solutions that are injected into patients—and other medications for use in the home. Some pharmacists specialize in specific drug therapy areas, such as intravenous nutrition support, oncology (cancer), nuclear pharmacy (used for chemotherapy), and pharmacotherapy (the treatment of mental disorders with drugs).
Community or retail pharmacists work perform a combination of professional, managerial, and administrative functions. In addition to dispensing medications and medical supplies and consulting with consumers and other health professionals, they hire and supervise employees, keep business records, and oversee the general operation of the pharmacy.
Hospital Pharmacists
Hospital pharmacists work in hospitals, clinics, or nursing homes and advise the medical staff on the selection and effect of drugs. They may perform administrative duties, teach in schools of nursing, and work in patient care areas as members of a medical team. They also may be engaged in the monitoring of drug levels and filling orders for medications.
Hospital Pharmacists
Hospital pharmacists may advance to supervisory or administrative positions. Pharmacists in hospitals and clinics dispense medications and advise the medical staff on the selection and effects of drugs.
The hospital pharmacist is part of a hospital team, providing, preparing and dispensing medicines normally to patients who are or have been treated in the hospital.
Pharmacists in hospitals and clinics also dispense medications and advice, but also instruct medical staff on the selection and effects of drugs, monitor patients' drug regimens, and evaluate drug use patterns in the hospital. It is common for pharmacists to specialize in specific aspects of drug therapy, such as those used to treat psychiatric disorders, radiopharmaceuticals, or oncology.
There are 2 types of hospital pharmacists: inpatient and outpatient pharmacy
Inpatient Pharmacists – This mainly provides medication and prepares injectables for patients staying in the hospital. Pharmacy personnel mainly communicate with doctors and nurses because their patients do not "physically" bring in their prescription
Outpatient pharmacist – This is similar to a retail pharmacy but in a hospital setting. It mainly provides service to patients who can "physically" bring in their prescription to pharmacy.
Independent Pharmacist
Independent community pharmacists, who generally work in pharmacies. They dispense prescription medication, compound different forms of prescription drugs and counsel customers about medications. They also provide information about over-the-counter drugs and make recommendations after asking a series of health questions, such as whether the customer is taking any other medications.
Industrial Pharmacists
Pharmacists in the pharmaceutical industry may advance in marketing, sales, research, quality control, production, packaging, or other areas.
Managed Care Pharmacist
Managed care pharmacists work for Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), helping to plan and manage prescription drug use.
Hospital, nursing home and extended health care center pharmacists, who dispense medication to patients and assist other medical staff on selection and effects of drugs. They may make sterile solutions and buy medical supplies. They also assess, plan and monitor drug regimens.
Some pharmacists specialize in specific drug therapy areas, such as intravenous nutrition support, oncology (cancer), nuclear pharmacy (used for chemotherapy), geriatric pharmacy, and psychopharmacotherapy (the treatment of mental disorders by means of drugs).
Nuclear Pharmacist
Nuclear pharmacy is a specialty area of pharmacy practice dedicated to the compounding and dispensing of radioactive materials for use in nuclear medicine procedures. A specialty area of pharmacy practice is one that requires a concentration of knowledge in a once specific area. The development of nuclear pharmacy as a specialty area followed the development of nuclear medicine as a recognized specialty by the American Medical Association in the early 1970's.
Nuclear pharmacy is a highly specialized field. Very few colleges of pharmacy offer the specialized training required to meet the requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, however, certificate training programs are available.
Pharmaceutical Industry Pharmacists
Pharmaceutical industry pharmacists work for drug manufacturing companies doing marketing, research and product development, quality control, sales, and administration.
Radiopharmacists dispense radioactive pharmaceuticals used for patient diagnosis and therapy.
Research Pharmacists
Research pharmacists, who may work in hospitals, universities or drug companies, developing new drugs and studying the side effects of drugs.

This is getting to be old hat, brethren, but once again we've been SLAMMED with (day job) work. It seems like there might be another tech bubble forming out there. Not that I'm complaining mind you but all this work cuts into other stuff I like (like Masonry).
Nope, X-Oriente isn't dead. Nope it's not even in a coma. But it will undergo a few changes. First, I will be re-engineering the show to be more frequent. I was hoping that the show could be sort of like This American Life or like one of the excellent CBC (Canadian Broacasting Company) documentaries. And I was pretty pleased with the first few episodes. But the overhead is enormous. When you think about what it takes to put togehter a show, there is the writing, the planning, the booking of guests, the technical issues, the music, securing rights, the list goes on. And I am a bit of a perfectionist. I was kind of hoping I could get some production help, but none has materialized yet.
And though it may sound like it, I am not complaining. But I realize now having such an ambitious show is not moving the agenda forward. So the show will be scaled down. First I am going to eliminate most of the music. There will be theme music and some background music, but...by popular demand...the songs will go.
Next the show will be more of a discussion of topics...more like a blog and less like a documentary. I hope you can contribute by adding to the discussion. From time to time I will attempt bigger stories and guest correspondants and I am trying to line those up. This way, it can be more like a conversation. About Masonry. And how to move it forward and make it grow. Ambition is great, but as Woody Allen once said, "80% of life is showing up." to have a finely produced show once a quarter isn't as good as a shorter show more often. Do you agree?

Senator David Watters
Press Release: Senator Watters Statement on Passage of Senate Bill 327 on Economic Revitalization Zone Tax Credits
The legislature passed on May 7 Senator Watters' SB 327 which extends the availability of economic revitalization tax zone credits until 2020. The bill provides continued support for a very successful program that has promoted economic development in 38 communities, including significant job-creating and tax-base increasing projects in Dover and Somersworth. The program provides up to $825,000 a year in tax credits, and in a new provision, allows for continuation of unclaimed credit amounts from one year into future years for new projects.
Senator Watters released this statement: "This legislative action means communities can plan for future economic revitalization tax zone credits under this effective and successful program. I sponsored this legislation to promote job development and entrepreneurial partnerships between businesses and municipalities. I thank the bipartisan supporters of this bill." Without the extension, the ERTZ credits would have expired in 2015, so action is important now to remove uncertainty for businesses and communities planning to create economic revitalization zones. The program's credits are currently fully subscribed, an indication of the success of the tax credit. Under the program, businesses investing in an area designated by a municipality as an economic revitalization zone can receive a tax credit against state business taxes.
Dover has five zones, including the Central business district and Cocheco Mills renovations, the industrial park, Locust Street, Mast Road, and Sixth Street. These districts have played an important role in Dover's economic development and the expansion of the tax base.
Senate Bill 327 is one of several bills Senator Watters has sponsored this session to support economic development by businesses and housing developers. He also cosponsored a bill to double the business investment tax credit, another important step in supporting growth.

Over the last half-century in America, it's become acceptable, then increasingly common, then entirely unremarkable, to live alone. Women who once lived with their families until their wedding day now live alone. Men delaying marriage later into their 20s live alone. Divorcés, more common today than in 1950, live alone. And seniors who live longer now than ever before — and who are less likely to spend those years in a retirement home — increasingly live alone, too.
As a result of all these shifts, more than a quarter of households in the U.S. now contain one person, alone. In 1940, it was about 7 percent:
This trend has all kinds of consequences, including a particularly problematic one for where we live: Our housing stock wasn't built for a society full of singles. Our communities instead are full of homes meant for the traditional nuclear family — two-bedroom starter homes, three-bedroom houses, apartments with more bathrooms than a singleton needs, full-service kitchens when 25-year-old bachelors now primarily dine by microwave.
We're increasingly a nation of single people, but we're still living, quite literally, in a world built for families.
The disconnect between these two trends is particularly acute in big cities, as the Furman Center points out in a new research brief. In New York, Austin and Denver, nearly 57 percent of adults were single in 2010 (although not necessarily living alone). In Washington, D.C., that figure is a whopping 71 percent.
But none of these cities have anywhere near enough small-sized housing to accommodate them. That means that a lot of people are probably living with unrelated adult roommates who'd prefer to live alone (half you people in D.C. group homes?). And it means that some people who do live alone are likely paying more for space they don't want in a large one-bedroom because there aren't enough alternatives in studios and efficiencies.
Changes in demographics and social norms invariably occur faster than changes in the built world around us. It took decades, even more, for Washington and New York to grow up into the places they are today. But, as Vicki Been, Benjamin Gross and John Infranca at the Furman Center point out, a lot of cities are also actively making it hard for the housing supply to adjust.
The rise of singles calls in particular for more micro housing: apartments the size of studios or even smaller, and "accessory dwelling units" (think in-law cottages or garage apartments) that might be built in the back yard of existing homes. It also calls for a different model of housing where, for instance, four singles might share a communal living space adjacent to their separate units instead of each having their own living room.
Neighborhood opposition and existing regulation make this kind of housing hard to build in most cities, though. Parking requirements, for example, often mandate that new housing come with new off-street parking spots, too. But that rule is impractical for someone who wants to rent a cottage in her backyard. And it makes projects financially unworkable for a developer who wants to build an apartment full of micro units next to a train stop for residents who don't own cars.
Other laws set minimum standards for how small a housing unit can be — in much of New York, it's 400 square feet — making micro units effectively illegal. Or they limit density by capping the number of units that can be built on a given plot of land. Then there are laws that tell property owners how much of their land they can build on.
Cities would have to change many of these regulations to make more micro housing possible, and there are a few places where that's starting to happen. Washington is in the process of revising its zoning code, and some changes could potentially enable more accessory dwelling units. New York has begun to test the idea of micro housing units with the development of a 55-unit modular apartment on city-owned land in Manhattan that would otherwise violate city code.
Many of these smaller units are decidedly up-scale, with high rents and communal luxuries like club rooms. But micro housing could also, in theory, be affordable housing, making cities like Washington accessible to single people who can't even afford a studio today.

I missed the eclipse. Entirely. My son came in from fishing saying, "Wow, did you see it? I watched the eclipse form the boat, through the clouds! It was really cool!"
My eyes went wide. "You're joking! We're not supposed to be able to see it in Alaska. I've seen the maps! Oregon is the furthest north to see it!" Now I am slightly angry. I love all things celestial and seeing this eclipse would have soothed my earth-and-politics-ravaged heart.
"Well, I saw it!"
I conferred with nearby experts, my nephew and his wife, both science-smarties and sure enough, they watched it too, but safely, through a pin box.
I felt betrayed that I had missed it.
But that night, that very night, the sun went down in flames, torching every mountain and sea around my island. I grabbed my camera and for an hour, I breathlessly tracked its path across the beaches, up on the hills, on the cliffsides, over the water.
I wish everyone I know and love had been there with me. And I imagine people gathered by families and communities to watch the eclipse together. What is better than this, for all of us together to tip our heads skyward, to remember we are creatures under the same sun who spin in the same orbit of the same planet. We are people who get wet under the same rains and who parch under the same summer sun. When we take our eyes off our hysterical screens and look at each other and peer together beyond our tiny roofs to the canopy of heavens above us-----maybe we will remember who we are.
Maybe I have been burned by last night's gold fire, but I hope for so much more than this. Because I must. Because otherwise I will despair.
I spent the last 3 years writing Crossing the Waters ----about following Jesus. This last week a film company flew up to Harvester to film a 6 part study based on the book. With multiple cameras in my face, I was immersed in those Scriptures, those moments when Jesus called those twelve men from their occupations, from their families, from their politics (Simon the zealot, who wanted to overthrow the Romans through violence. Matthew, through tax evasion.)
Again, I traced Jesus' life through the gospels----from storm to feast to crucifixion to resurrection to his last words to us all: "Go and make disciples of all nations."
Are we doing this?
While the (amazing) 5 person film crew was running circles around me, Charlottesville happened. After the week of filming, I felt deeply Holy-Spirit moved to say something. I joined my voice with thousands, millions of Americans exposing racism, neo-nazi-ism and white supremacy for what it is (here) because any form of any of these is in violent opposition to the gospel.
But there was blowback on this basic human affirmation---from fellow Christians. Everywhere I see this: the drawing of lines, jutted chins, defiant gestures. From Christians.
Our obsession with politics has divided the Church and stolen our mission, and it worsens every day. Right now, we are not making disciples of all nations, we are losing disciples.
But a divided church is not new. It happened in Paul's day too:
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul";another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Paul's rhetorical question should be ours as well: Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Was President Trump crucified for you? Was Hilary Clinton or Barak Obama or Joel Osteen or any other religious or political figure crucified for you?
There is only one man who went to the cross to defeat sin and death. There is only one name that will drop every body and soul to its knees at the end of time. There is only one man worthy to open the scrolls of judgment at the end of the ages. There is only one man sitting at the right hand of the father.
Those who love and follow this Savior bear His name: We are Christ-ians, "Little Christs." Our identity is not as republicans, democrats, liberals, conservatives. We are not Americans, Russians, Cubans, Koreans. We are not Trump-ians, Clintonians, Reaganites, Sanderites or anything else. If we have been "baptized into Christ," then "there is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
I am praying the Church would be unified---around Christ, and no one else.
I am praying that we would remember our calling to disciple-making.
I am praying most of all that our anxious divided hearts would be overshadowed entirely by Christ.
That's the total eclipse I am praying for.
Would you join me?

Paul Rudolph's Architectural Works
The 1940's
Paul Rudolph began his career in 1941 as an apprentice, and later partner in Ralph Twitchell's architectural practice in Sarasota, Florida. Together their work became known as part of the "Sarasota School" of architecture. Common characteristics of the Sarasota School of Architecture are a strict adherence to function, modular composition, articulation of individual building components and attention to local climate and terrain. Large sunshades, innovative ventilation systems, oversized sliding glass doors, floating staircases, and walls of jalousie windows dominate many of these buildings. Rudolph and Twitchell's projects gained recognition in part due to the stylized ink renderings produced by Rudolph during this period.
The 1950's
In March of 1952, Rudolph left Twitchell's office to open his own firm and began traveling between Florida and New York to lecture at various schools in the Northeast. Rudolph re-examined his early work in Florida and was not satisfied with its quality, concluding that it lacked sufficient psychological control of light and space. He started to question the fundamentals of the International Style and the rigid principles of the Sarasota School. In 1954 he was awarded the "Outstanding Young Architect Award" in an international competition and the resulting recognition led to larger projects around and outside of Florida. Paul Rudolph was offered in 1957 the Chairmanship of the School of Architecture at Yale University and opened another office in New Haven, Connecticut. Rudolph continued to build projects in Sarasota during this period, which are notable for their emphasis of mass and expression over the previous focus on light materials, modular bays and prefabricated components.
The 1960's
Up until his time at Yale, Rudolph's work had been a progessive exploration of modularity and functionalism. Designs produced during the 1960's began to focus more on expressive forms made of poured in place concrete, the control of light and shadow, the play with scale and composition of different types of space. The most notable difference in this work is the focus on flowing curving lines and sculptural masses, the articulation of the buildings resulting from exaggeration of the shapes of the functions within. In 1965, Rudolph moved his offices to New York and by the end of the decade focused on creating complex compositions using simple modular elements. Influenced by Moshe Safdie's prefabricated housing at the Montreal World Fair in 1967, Rudolph predicted that mass-produced mobile homes would become the basic building element in the future. Scale at the human level, the building level and the city would dominate his work during the later half of the 1960's.
The 1970's
A fire at Yale's Art & Architecture Building in 1969 and the 1972 publication of 'Learning from Las Vegas' contributed to a questioning of Rudolph's Modernist aesthetics during the 1970's. The amount of work declined, with most of the projects being private residences and a few large commissions. Rudolph continued to explore themes of scale and modularity, with a special emphasis on the experience of scale with regard to highrise buildings.
The 1980's
By the 1980's, Rudolph began to receive several large commissions in Asia. These projects were located in primarily dense urban settings, and his work of this period focused on developing a scale and complexity necessary to relate the building to its surrounding context. Rudolph developed a tripartite expression of scale in his larger commissions to distinguish between the individual's perception of scale of the building's base, the perception from the automobile of the middle of the tower, and the top of the building from far away. As more of Rudolph's work shifted from the United States to Asia, he explored materials and building forms to relate his Modernist designs to the unique character of the regional architecture of the building's location.
The 1990's
In the last decade of his life, Rudolph explored the application of traditional building forms with his modernist aesthetic in large scale projects in Singapore, Hong Kong and Indonesia. On August 8, 1997 Paul Rudolph passed away in New York City from mesothelioma, a cancer that usually results from exposure to asbestos. At the time of his death he was working on plans for a new town of 250,000 people in Indonesia, and a private residence, chapel and office complex in Singapore.

Unnat Krishi Project in India
"Unnat Krishi" may be translated as better agriculture. In this project, aimed at promoting rural village development in India, K+S KALI GmbH is partnered with the S M Sehgal Foundation. more
Our Guiding Principle: Fair Partnerships
Die K+S KALI GmbH is aware of its ethical responsibility and the need for international solidarity. Our commitment aims at improving living conditions all over the world. Within the scope of our projects, we strive to realize fair partnerships, benefiting all of the parties involved. The two emphases of our development cooperation are development-oriented agricultural research and the transfer of knowledge to agricultural practice.
K+S KALI GmbH is a member of the German Food Partnership (GFP), an initiative joining German and international food-processing and agricultural companies, associations and foundations industries, the public sector, as well as companies from emerging economies and developing countries. GFP was founded in 2012, and was originally named Deutsche Initiative für Agrarwirtschaft und Ernährung in Schwellen- und Entwicklungsändern (German initiative for agriculture and food in emerging economies and developing countries – DIAE) but was later renamed, and is supported by the GIZ, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The initiative's members aim at raising the productivity and the efficiency along local and regional agricultural value chains. The objective is to improve the access of local farmers and populations to production factors, markets and to foodstuffs.
Development-oriented Agricultural Research in International Networks
The research activities of K+S KALI GmbH pick up on issues with particular relevance to the development of sustainable agriculture in developing countries, and are aimed at providing answers to some of the most urgent questions.
When it comes to providing sufficient staple foods to their populations, many African countries are facing great challenges. Potato cultivation is the fourth most important staple food, due to its high nutritional value. It is therefore an obvious question which potential potato cultivation could have creating food security in African countries. This question is also at the focus of our cooperation with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the International Potato Center in Peru (CIP). Administrative support for the research initiative is provided by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
All around the world, K+S KALI GmbH has established research projects in cooperation with universities and recognised research institutions, in pursuit of answers to pertinent questions concerning plant nutrition. Check our world map to discover examples of our International Research Projects.
HarvestZinc, a project co-financed by K+S KALI GmbH, investigates options for raising cereal zinc contents by applying appropriate fertilisation.
In large parts of the world, people do not only suffer from hunger, but also from nutrient deficiencies (hidden hunger). The research project HarvestZinc investigates options for combating zinc-deficiencies by targeted fertilisation of the cereals intended for human consumption. The project is part of the programme HarvestPlus, and is co-financed by K+S KALI GmbH.
Knowledge Transfer as a Tool for Improving the Living Conditions of Small Farmers
In evolving economies and in developing countries, agriculture is characterised by a large proportion of subsistence farming. Families produce foodstuffs mainly for their own needs. Only surplus products are sold on the local markets. Due to the farming methods used, the proceeds are generally very low. Even relatively small improvements of the cultivation techniques, such as the utilisation of mineral fertilisers, may significantly raise yields and improve soil fertility.
This is why K+S KALI GmbH participates in projects aimed at improving the food production know-how of small farmers. In these projects we cooperate with recognised local partner organisations, which are familiar with local conditions and the existing structures. For our African project "Growth for Uganda", our partner organisation is the Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA), which has been highly successful in implementing the innovative Farmer Learning Platforms in Uganda.
For the project "Unnat Krishi" we have found an experienced local partner: the Institute of Rural Research and Development (IRRAD). IRRAD is an initiative of the S.M. Sehgal Foundation, an organisation committed to improving the living conditions in India's rural communities.

I awoke in the dark of night to the sound of flapping wings and something sizable flying around and around my bedroom. "There's a bat in here," my husband said in a half-muffled voice from the bathroom. I recalled I'd gotten up earlier to let the dog out and left the front door ajar. One of our resident bats had come calling.
I awoke in the dark of night to the sound of flapping wings and something sizable flying around and around my bedroom. "There's a bat in here," my husband said in a half-muffled voice from the bathroom. I recalled I'd gotten up earlier to let the dog out and left the front door ajar. One of our resident bats had come calling.
Terrified the bat would hit me if I got up, I crawled across the floor to the bathroom. "What now?" we said to each other. Jim picked up a large towel and went back into the bedroom to throw it over the bat. Then we brought the bundle into the shower to see exactly what we'd captured.
Inch by inch, we rolled back the towel. Suddenly a tiny face appeared, hissing through a mouth of truly terrifying teeth. This curious creature with its turned up nose and big round ears exhibited awesome ferocity for something so small.
After I learned that a single bat could consume up to 600 mosquitoes in a single night, we never discouraged them from nesting in our eaves. Though they are largely invisible, we got a good look at our tenants after disabling our attic fan in the midst of summer. A brown, furry creature with folded wings crawled out of a slot along the ridge beam. While they are rare in daylight, we saw our first bat in full view as it tried desperately to cool off. We realized that he'd nested there, but with the fan out of commission, he defied eons of genetic programming to face the noon light.
These are just two incidents of bats that I've observed, and I am forever learning more about these too often maligned creatures. Forever burdened with an association with vampires and blood sucking, these small creatures of North America are in fact among our most valuable insectivores. I have seen them return night after night to a grove of tamarix trees at the exact time the mosquitoes rise out of the leaves to fly at dusk. Oddly enough, small desert falcons join the bats for a nightly air show of feeding on insects.
However, bats do more than consume insects. They are vital to the pollination of many exotic plants. They burrow into typically large white flowers to suck from the generous nectarines at the base of the bell-shaped throats. They are known to grasp stiff parts of the flower with their claws while they hover and feed. Botanists consider the residual claw marks evidence of pollination. Bat-pollinated flowers also bear unusually large numbers of stamens because these animals actually eat those parts during their visit, and in the process gather even more pollen to distribute.
Pollen that catches on the hairs of a bat's body allow them to fertilize a surprisingly large number of plants in a single night. Studies show that one bat can carry about 1.5 million grains of pollen each evening, which translates to 30 different flower visits. These flowers often emit a strangely musky fragrance — not floral by any means — to lure the bats by scent. But the bats obtain yet another food bonus. Day-flying insects may choose to overnight inside the flowers. When bats visit after dark, they gobble up this welcome source of protein.
Bats have difficulty flying through brush or forest; so bat-pollinated flowers are often at the highest point of the plant. The saguaro cactus with its crown of white blossoms is a perfect example. Other desert plants such as agave stalks rise above the brush or tree canopy to emit their scent in a free and open location that is easy for bats to spot. An African species of bat has been documented to travel over two hours each way in a single night to reach its desired food plants.
Some cacti have further adapted by bearing flowers without spines along their stems. Spines could prove dangerous to the poor-sighted bats.
As we all discover a new appreciation for living green and supporting the ecology, don't relegate bats to the world of dark and evil folklore. Celebrate their vital role in the world of flowers, and as one of the earth's "greenest" insect controllers.

French toast
I believe in food recycling, i.e. when something is still edible, and there is a delicious and healthy way to eat it, then why not? We should never let our food spoil, even when there's overabundance of it! :-) Enjoy these delicious, savory French toasts, which make a perfect weekend breakfast.
When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Spongy waffles
Usually waffles are served crispy, but from time to time I like to make them soft and spongy — perfect base for a plum jam! :-) This recipe makes 4 delicious, spongy waffles that you can prepare in no-time!
Tuna paste bento
Tuna paste is ridiculously easy to prepare and makes a great no cooking bento, cutting the preparation time to less than 20 minutes, including rice cooking time! Now, that's what I would call cooking on the go! You can also use the tuna paste for a great tasting onigiri or sushi.
Vegetarian bento
Today was one of these days that my coffee needed a coffee... And I really couldn't make myself cook in the morning. So, the vegetarian bento was made! It's fast, it's simple, and it tasted great. Consider that a fancy salad for lazy days.

Study Tying Women's Weight Gain to Housework Draws Fire for Coke Link
(NEW YORK) -- A group of researchers now says that one reason modern women may be packing on the pounds is because they're not doing the heavy lifting around the house that they once did.
"We looked at 91 different activities — going to the gym, walking the dog — and the only thing that influenced their energy expenditure was the work in the home," said Edward Archer, a University of South Carolina research fellow and the study's lead author. "That's why the study focused on that."
In the study, a team of University of South Carolina researchers at the Arnold School of Public Health compared the activity logs kept by stay-at-home women from 1965 until today and found that in 1965, women spent 25.7 hours a week pushing tank-like vacuums, dusting, mopping, cooking and washing.
But in 2010, women spent 13.3 hours a week on household chores — and they are also 22 pounds heavier than their 1965 counterparts.
The results were published this month in PLOS One.
Archer said the study was not intended to tell women they are fat because they don't do housework.
"The take-home message is not that women should be doing more housework but rather that women and individuals in general should find ways of integrating physical activity into their day," Archer said. "How you spend your day determines health....How you spend your day determines the health of the next generation."
Other experts, however, said the obesity epidemic was caused by a long list of factors that included not just physical activity but diet, genetics and economic status. They also questioned the motives of Coca-Cola, which sponsored the study.
"It makes no sense for Coca-Cola to be funding studies on causes of obesity because they are one of the causes for obesity," said Kelly Brownell, director of the Rudd Center for food policy and obesity at Yale University. "It would be like taking money from the tobacco industry to find other causes of lung cancer. It really makes no sense at all."
Women also fired back on Twitter.
"The 1950s called and they want their article back," said one tweet.
Archer said the source of the study's funding was "irrelevant."
"We should be turning focus on ourselves," he said. "What we can do for ourselves, especially in the context of our health and especially in the context of our children."

And while this home was not originally designed for this plot of land, one of Wright's original apprentices, David Elgin Dodge, selected its location on the site, honoring its integration with the landscape.
Before the rest of us were really even thinking about being green, this house was built completely off-the-grid on 66 secluded acres. With his electrical engineering skills Bob designed a solar system with generator backup. The windows are all double-glazed. The house had compact fluorescents in every receptacle before most people even new what they were. The house has radiant heat, and has been built with the most modern materials for efficiency.
We continually strive to improve on what was truly a good beginning and have outlined for this property and our Wilderness House property in Moab, UT our "Green Initiatives." This is what we have done, and plan to do to preserve this environment whose beauty we have been so fortunate to enjoy.
"Beautiful buildings are more than scientific. They are true organisms, spiritually conceived; works of art, using the best technology by inspiration rather than the idiosyncrasies of mere taste or any averaging by the committee mind." Frank Lloyd Wright

If you are trying to avoid nuts, dairy, grain and/or gluten, these muffins are for you! The chocolate-y delights are also a sweet option if you are looking to cut down on sugar. I am trying to avoid all of the above because I am having some Crohn's Disease symptoms. In fact, I am writing this blog as I come off a 5-day liquid diet (I now fully understand the feeling of being "hangry").
As always, there is a positive that comes out of every bout of inflammation. This current flare-up has encouraged me to take my gluten-free diet to the next level by also avoiding grain, starch, sugar, and processed foods. Yes, I am basically going to be eating like a cave man (Eh-em, cave woman). Even though I am already avoiding most processed foods, this is going to be a challenge. I love sugar, rice, potatoes, and tofu, all of which I will have to give up.
The chocolate zucchini muffins are my way of slowly learning to bake within the parameters of my new diet. This recipe comes from a cookbook called Against All Grain by Danielle Walker. The muffins have cacao powder and dairy-free chocolate chips, so they are not completely free of processed foods. However, it is a good start if you want to slowly start cutting out grain, gluten, and dairy. Baby steps.
Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
This recipe is from Against All Grain by Danielle Walker.
PREP TIME: 15 mins
COOK TIME: 25 mins TOTAL TIME: 40 mins
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, for greasing
- 3/4 cup zucchini, shredded
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with baking cups or grease with coconut oil.
- Place the shredded zucchini on a tray lined with a paper towel to drain some of the moisture while you prepare the batter.
- Place the eggs, maple syrup, and applesauce in the stand-mixer and mix on medium speed until combined.
- Add the coconut flour, cacao powder, arrowroot powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt and mix again on medium speed until combined.
- Wrap the paper towel around the zucchini and give it a light squeeze to remove excess moisture and fold it into the batter along with 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each 2/3 of the way full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips on top. Bake for 22-25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then on a wire rack until completely cool.

Limited Submission Guidelines
Funding agencies are increasingly restricting the number of applications an institution can submit in response to many funding opportunities. Utah State University (USU) designates these as Limited Submission Programs.
If more than the sponsor allowed number of applications is submitted in response to a Limited Submission Program, ALL applications from the institution may be disqualified from review. Therefore, complying with sponsor guidelines is critical.
If a sponsor contacts USU to report that a program application limit has been exceeded, all unauthorized proposals will be administratively withdrawn.
While the Office of Research and Graduate Studies (RGS) will make every effort to identify Limited
Submission Programs that may be of interest to USU faculty, finding every possible opportunity is
unfeasible. Therefore, faculty members who wish to apply to a program for which submission is limited
and the funding opportunity is not listed in the Funding Finder database should email Jerilyn Hansen at firstname.lastname@example.com
immediately with the sponsor, program title, due date, and URL to determine whether an internal
selection process is necessary.
If there are less than 15 working days to the sponsor deadline, proposals will be approved for
submission on a first come, first served basis. Proposals received by RGS after USU has reached its
maximum number of submissions will be rejected and cannot be submitted. If there are more than 15
working days to the sponsor deadline, and RGS receives more interest than the maximum number of
submissions allowed, an announcement from the Research Development Division will provide
instructions regarding the internal selection process, including requirements for an internal preproposal,
internal deadlines, and contact information for the RGS personnel (or designee) coordinating
the process.
- Upon announcement of a Limited Submission Program, faculty interested in submitting a proposal will be required to complete an online Notice of Intent (NOI).
- When the number of NOIs does not exceed the sponsor's application limit, RGS will notify the internal applicants that they have received institutional approval to submit their proposals to the sponsor.
- When the number of NOIs exceeds the sponsor's limit, an internal selection process will be required. Research Development will notify faculty who submitted NOIs of the need for an internal selection, which will include the completion of a Limited Submission application for review. Research Development will provide the deadline for completion of the Limited Submission application in the internal competition announcement.
- RGS will form an internal review committee of faculty members who have expertise in the program's subject area to evaluate the Limited Submission applications and select USU's applicant(s). The criteria used for evaluating the internal applications will reflect the criteria stated in the program announcement. Faculty should clearly address the sponsor's objectives and funding criteria, including how cost-share requirements will be met (if applicable).
- RGS will evaluate the recommendations of the internal review committee and make a final decision on the proposal(s) to be green-lighted for submission to the sponsor.
- Research Development will notify all applicants of the results of the internal process. Research Development will also provide the names(s) of the approved candidate(s) to Sponsored Programs. Reviewers' comments will be provided to all applicants. Throughout this process, the anonymity of the reviewers will be maintained.
NOTE 1: Some internal competitions begin with a selection process within the colleges (the Research Development announcement will indicate if this is the case). It is the PI's responsibility to find out if his/her college or school has set an internal college review deadline.
NOTE 2: Certain program announcements may be specific to a college or department. In these cases, RGS will ask the respective college(s) or departments(s) to coordinate the internal selection process. RGS will work with the college(s)/department(s) to ensure that appropriate contact information and internal deadlines are included in the internal competition announcement. After the internal selection process is completed, it is the responsibility of the college/department to provide the name(s) of the successful candidate(s) to Research Development.
NOTE 3: If RGS receives NOIs or internal applications for a Limited Submission Program after the internal deadline, they will be rejected unless:
- RGS did not receive any NOIs or internal applications by the original specified deadline, or;
- RGS received fewer NOIs or internal applications than the maximum number of applications allowed by the sponsor. NOIs or internal applications received under these circumstances will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis until the maximum number allowed is reached.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUBMISSION: In order for USU faculty to effectively capitalize on limited submission opportunities, it is imperative that all applications selected to go forward by the internal review committee result in timely proposal submission. Failure to realize this objective may result in a PI's loss of eligibility for consideration in the next internal competition round for the same opportunity and a one-year loss of eligibility for consideration in any other limited submission internal competition round.

Before the NBL season tips off next month, I thought it worthwhile to check in with a panel of basketball experts to get their take on the upcoming 2013-14 National Basketball League season.
So, I rounded up five of the brightest NBL minds on the planet, and put to them ten pressing questions that I deemed too important to begin the season without having a crack at. Of course the answers are only each expert's (and my) opinion, based on nothing more than a patchy pre-season and years of basketball fandom.

Firewall Error when trying to license TransMagic
TransMagic will try to contact Nalpeiron.com for licensing - Make sure that ports 80 and 443 are open to outbound traffic – this should fix the issue. Starting with Release 11.00.900 or so, this should be in the error message.
Licensing TransMagic Release R12/R11
The new TransMagic licensing system works seamlessly for most customers and prospects, but we do occasionally have users who run into problems. Below are settings to get the new licensing system to work, and at the end of this document we have also included a workaround for those users whose network security systems are too rigid to comply with our new licensing system.
If you get the error "There was a problem connecting to the TransMagic License Server!", try the following fixes. For firewall settings, which depending on your situation may require that you contact your system administrator.
- Make sure you have an Internet connection.
- Add https://my.nalpeiron.com as a "trusted url" on your firewall
- Allow TransMagic.exe input/output on your firewall
- Your firewall may be blocking either port 80 or port 443. TransMagic's new licensing system requires that both of these ports be open to outbound traffic to contact the licensing server.

La Peute Bête
Yesterday, I was scanning picture from a children's book he illustrated a few years ago. I will use them for the portfolio section of the site but also to illustrate the site itself and make more lively.
As I was doing this, I was reminded that I used to draw too when I was in my teens. I even considered making it a career at some point. I have no idea what could have made me think I could have done that!
I haven't touched a pen for several years now, I am sure and looking for examples of what I did at the time, I could only find the following yellowing photocopy of a pen drawing (from a black and white picture, so that was quite easy) I did around 1990, I think. All the rest (and there isn't much anyway) is at my parents' house.
The picture represents the Peute Bête. A fantastic creature whose legend escapes me, which was immortalised in stone as the central fountain of a village not too far from my parents'. The statue apparently dates back from the 18th century.
"Peute" is a local patois word meaning "ugly". "Bête" means "beast". No need to explain why it is called that way!
You can see a picture of the fountain here.

Bradford Telecoaching
Bradford Telecoaching was a pioneering new service designed by Turning Point and Local Care Direct, commissioned by Bradford City CCG and Bradford Districts CCG. The service was designed to be suitable for any patient with:
- A long term physical condition
- Newly diagnosed with a single condition
- Multiple conditions
- Individuals with co-morbid mental health issues who may have been living with their conditions for some time.
The service offered 'Self-Management Coaches' who were trained to assess and deliver the kind of support patients need to help them to understand the impact of their conditions on their life; develop their coping skills to wellbeing; develop their confidence as well as a sense of control and quality of life. Patients were given the tools to be better equipped, to manage well between appointments and were supported by their health care team to become an active partner in designing and managing their care; decreasing their need for unplanned interventions.
The service worked on a shared care basis with referring GPs, who received individual patient summary reports and regular updates on the development and performance of the service.
If you would like to know more about Turning Point please visit – www.turning-point.co.uk

Early days for this one. The Top Midi will spot a Brazilian mahogany body with a top grade European flamed maple top, Honduras mahogany neck "very old stock" rosewood fretboard with tree of life inlays. Abalone bindings on body, neck and headstock, 22 frets 24.75" scale, 12" radius, abalone headstock logo. The electrics are crazy!!! Fernandes sustainer on the neck, Duncan SH13 on the bridge and a Duncan 59 in the middle, strat type term and a tasq nut. Natural finish with true oil. This week I will do all the rough work on it.
Final set up done. This guitar plays like a dream. The neck is extreamly comfortable and fast and the access to the high frets is effortless and second to none. This guitar has suffered all kinds of delays, from the first neck splitting during construction and the second ruined by the rain coming through the broken roof to constant delays for personal issues. I'm surprised I haven't cut it up with a chain saw seen how frustrating all those things have been. Well, all in all, it's a pleasure to play it now. In a few days the crazy electrics will be done and then Bernard will enjoy it for a very long time :)
A wile has passed, the guitar is now on the final build stages. The neck is very thin and has an amazing access to the high register. No truss rod, instead a titanium rod and two carbonium bars. The large routings in the thin body with comfort contours and the thin neck makes for a surprisingly light waight instrument. I expect to finish all works by next week so delivery before the end of January. I can't wait to play it :)
I love the flame on this top. To enhance the flame I've rubbed mahogany dust on it and then sanded it gently with 1200 grit. That helps creating a stronger flame effect. I've chosen this method over the PRS style staining to get a more natural look as the stain under just oil would definately look too in your face and unnatural. It's a very old trick used by Italian violin makers in theyr golden age... Tradition passing down the generations:)
And the project comes to an end. I've delivered the guitar to Bernard yesterday. He loves it and that obviously makes me a happy luthier. This project has suffered so many sit backs that it made it all more difficult to keep at it with the necessary focus to make a great instrument like this. Next now :)

My usual response to "Can you take the dog out?" is "Do I have to bring her back?"
Today's Biff remembers.
"Yeah, I'll take that dog out (loads pistol) …"
Main reasons I don't have a dog, it cannot take itself out, fed itself or clean up after itself when I don't feel like doing so. Other reason – allergies.
"As soon as someone passes him the football!"
I can't have a dog anymore. They keep telling me things.

U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., asked U.S. officials to seek a review of plans to add hundreds of Web suffixes beyond .com and .org.
The expansion by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers could cost �millions of dollars� as companies and groups buy Internet domain names they won�t use to prevent others from abusing their brands, Rockefeller said in a letter Wednesday to Commerce Secretary John Bryson.
�It is prudent for you to ask Icann to reevaluate its current plan,� said Rockefeller, who leads the Senate Commerce Committee. The letter also was addressed to Larry Strickling, administrator of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a Commerce Department arm that advises the president on information policy.
Icann manages the Web�s address system under a contract with the Commerce Department. It approved a plan in June to expand the number of top-level domains beyond the commonly used .com, .net and .org in a move to spur online innovation.
The group, based in Marina del Rey, California, will start accepting applications for Web suffixes including company and brand names, cities and words such as .apple and .book, starting Jan. 12 for three months. Applications will cost $185,000 for each domain. The new names would enter use in 2013.
Brad White, a spokesman for Icann, in an emailed statement said the nonprofit corporation appreciates NTIA�s �support of Icann�s multi-stakeholder model.�
General Electric Co., Johnson & Johnson and Coca-Cola Co. are among more than 40 companies that have joined with the Association of National Advertisers to oppose the expansion, saying it will increase costs for companies, confuse customers and create new risks of Internet fraud.
FTC�s Stance
The Federal Trade Commission said on Dec. 16 the plan should be scaled back to avoid fraud. Icann should introduce the expansion as a pilot program and reduce the number of domains created, the agency said in a letter to the company. The FTC, which has no direct authority over Icann, can act when companies engage in deceptive trade practices.
FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz told lawmakers on Dec. 7 that the planned addition of top-level domains may be a disaster, letting con artists set up fraudulent websites.
Rockefeller said at a Dec. 8 hearing that Icann should proceed slowly.
�Based upon the testimony of Icann�s representative at the hearing, Icann does not appear to be taking this approach,� Rockefeller said in Wednesday�s letter.
�You should consider asking Icann to either delay the opening of the application period or to drastically limit the number� of new domain names, Rockefeller said.
The changes are designed to �benefit the billions of Internet users through increased competition, choice and innovation,� Kurt Pritz, Icann�s senior vice president for stakeholder relations, said in written testimony for the Dec. 8 hearing.
�Now is the time for launching that program,� Pritz said.
Kevin Griffis, a Commerce Department spokesman, and Moira Vahey, a spokeswoman at the NTIA, had no immediate comment.

Beyond A Shadow Of A Doubt
Once in a (rare!) while, Real Girl finds a product that revolutionizes the way she applies makeup. And you know how I get when I find a new favorite. So let's not waste precious beauty time and start with Real Girl's latest must-have:
Liquif-Eye by Too Faced.
I experimented with liquid eyeliner in high school, but it just wasn't for me. Too much product would get on the brush and goop on my eye, the product felt too thick, and the line looked too severe for my taste. I quickly moved to shadow, oh beloved shadow. Instead of a true liner, I'd use a liner brush to apply at the base of the lashes and call myself pleased.
Hello, I did not know what I was missing. Because since I tried Liquif-Eye? I may never use shadow without it again. Here in this blessed little tube is a brush that's not quite a brush: though it has lovely bend to it, there are no bristles to misplace precious product. Let's call it a solid tip. Simply take this solid tip out of its delightful bottle and coat it in your favorite eye shadow. Then apply (either in one fine line if you've got a steady hand, or in very close together dots) the loveliest, sharpest, most flattering line of eye shadow you can imagine. It's the precision of a liquid liner with the texture of a shadow. Can you tell how in love I am? Can you?
Don't be afraid to experiment! You can use one tone of shadow on the whole lid and then use the Liquif-Eye with a deeper shade at the lashes. Or you can continue with shadow on a liner brush, and then apply the Liquif-Eye over it to keep the smokey effect but also create definition. For the first time, I'm wearing eye shadow on my lower lids--the line is thin enough to give beautiful color without looking too made up. And when you're done? Simply wipe the solid tip thoroughly on paper towel before reinserting into its pretty bottle.
Are we done yet? Not hardly! Because now I need to tell you about Too Faced's shadows. More Real Girl love. These are some of the richest colors I've used. They retain their pigment beautifully and come in fun colors that I'd usually be scared of...and yet they work. The Liquif-Eye Shadow Collection includes 12 fun colors that, judging by how little product you use each time, will last a good while. Beware! These colors are not for the faint of heart. Or the faint of eye, for that matter. Take my word that the colors are richer and heartier than the picture at the top of this page. But I've been surprised by some of them. Layering my usual dark bronze shadow (Liquif-Eyed, of course) under the chartreuse Too Faced "Steel Magnolias" (also Liquif-Eyed) had a superb effect of brightening the eye area without looking too outlandish. Mix and match!
Or if you don't want 12 small patches of color? If you're a true eye shadow afficianado, you've got to check out Too Faced's Eye Shadow Duos. The luscious pigments of these shadows and their silky textures are nearly irresistible. While probably not appropriate for anyone who doesn't like shimmer (and for a few of the colors, sparkle), these shadows are definitely in my top 5 favorites. Everything--from the girly, vintage style packaging, to the adorable names (my favorite duo is called "George & Weezie!"), to the colors themselves just makes them fun to use.
Even better? I've got a whole bag of other Too Faced products yet to test. Let's hope we get more winners!
But what about you guys? What are your favorite shadows? Favorite liners? Secret application tips? Anything at all?
I remain your,
Real Girl
