Nations Cup future brighter after Zambia win
Zambia's poignant and heart-warming triumph at the Africa Cup of Nations capped a tournament which was strong on emotion, easy on the ears and may be on the rise again after hitting a low point in Angola two years ago.
Lying 71st in the world rankings, with a squad based on little-known, African-based players and playing only a few kilometres from the scene of an air crash which wiped out their team in 1993, Zambian's win left even their own coach Herve Renard lost for words.
"They found the strength, I don't know where," he said after they beat the Ivory Coast's team of European-based players 8-7 on penalties on Sunday following a goalless draw.
"There is something written somewhere," added Renard, who himself abandoned a playing career after realising he was not good enough and spent 10 years running a cleaning company.
"It just felt right but it was not because of me, I don't know where it came from."
After winning, the Zambian team held up banners remembering their side who died in an air crash following a stopover in Gabon on the way to a World Cup qualifier in Senegal in 1993.
It was the sort of fairytale which simply could not happen in the big-money world of European club football and may help the Nations Cup to gain new appeal.
The tournament was once regarded as an exotic sideshow associated with the old cliches about colourful fans, tactically naive teams and voodoo on the pitch.
Around 10 years ago, with the influx of African players to Europe, it suddenly found itself being taken seriously, so much so that European club coaches complained at having to release their players.
As European interest grew, a new reality struck. The football was often dull and defensive and, although the fans were colourful, there were not many of them with most games played in empty stadiums.
Chaotic organisation and controversial refereeing, particularly in Egypt in 2006, further lowered the outside world's perception.
It reached a possible low point two years ago in Angola when Togo pulled out of the tournament after two members of their delegation were killed in an ambush on the team bus in the province of Cabinda.
Although the tournament went on, the football was poor and attendances dismal while the outrageous prices, chaotic transport and visa restrictions which barred many would-be visitors all left a sour taste in the mouth.
For 2012, oil-rich co-hosts Gabon and Equatorial Guinea produced impressive infrastructure, although nagging worries over visas and hotels persisted until the last minute for many visitors.
However, once the tournament started, things ran impressively smoothly with a notable absence of heavy-handed security.
Despite the absence of big guns Nigeria, Cameroon and Egypt, the competition threw up the drama which had been palpably missing from previous editions.
There was the astonishing progress of Equatorial Guinea, ranked 151st in the world, to the quarter-finals, thanks to a stunning injury-time win over Senegal with a goal from Spanish fourth-division amateur David Alvarez.
Gabon also surpassed expectations, reaching the last eight even more dramatically by beating Morocco 3-2 with a 95th-minute free-kick.
They produced arguably the player of the tournament in striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, although the Mohican-haired player's tournament ended in tears when he missed the decisive penalty in the quarter-final shootout defeat against Mali.
That produced more moving scenes as the inconsolable, 23-year-old was comforted by his father, himself a former Gabon player.
Didier Drogba's two missed penalties for Ivory Coast, one in the final and one in the quarter-finals, and a first-round exit for a heavily-fancied Senegal team added to the overall drama.
The big disappointment was the failure to fill stadiums, with many games played in half-empty arenas.
Fortunately, the organised supporters groups who did turn up banged drums and played trumpets, rather than blowing vuvuzelas proving that the dreaded plastic horns, which provided the monotonous backdrop for South Africa in 2010, have failed to catch on elsewhere in the continent.

http://www.businessinsider.com/11- common-grammatical-mistakes-and- how-to-avoid-them-2013-9
1."Fewer" vs. "Less" Use "fewer" when discussing countable objects. For example, "He ate five fewer chocolates than the other guy," or "fewer than 20 employees attended the meeting." Use "less" for intangible concepts, like time. For example, "I spent less than one hour finishing this report."
2. "It's vs. "Its" Normally, an apostrophe symbolizes possession. As in, "I took the dog's bone." But because apostrophes also usually replace omitted letters — like "don't" — the "it's" vs. "its" decision gets complicated. Use "its" as the possessive pronoun: "I took its bone." For the shortened version of "it is" use the version with the apostrophe. As in, "it's raining."
3. Dangling Modifiers These are ambiguous, adjectival clauses at the beginning or end of sentences that often don't modify the right word or phrase. For example, if you say, "Rotting in the refrigerator, our office manager threw the fruit in the garbage." The structure of that sentence implies your office manager is a zombie trapped in a chilly kitchen appliance. Make sure to place the modifying clause right next to the word or phrase it intends to describe. The correct version reads, "Our office manager threw the fruit, rotting in the refrigerator, in the garbage."
4. "Who" vs. "Whom" Earlier this year, "The New Republic" published a review of Mark Leibovich's "This Town." Regardless of his opinions, the author deserves praise. The title reads, "Careful Whom You Call A Hypocrite, Washington." Yes, Alec MacGillis. Just yes.review of Mark Leibovich's "This Town." When considering whether to use "who" or "whom," you have to rearrange the sentence in your own head. In the aforementioned case, "whom you call a hypocrite" changes to "you call whom a hypocrite." "Whom" suits the sentence instead of "who" because the word functions as the object of the sentence, not the subject. It's not always easy to tell subjects from objects but to use an over-simplified yet good, general rule: subjects start sentences (or clauses), and objects end them. For reference, "who is a hypocrite?" would be a perfectly grammatically correct question to ask.
5. Me, Myself, And I Deciding when to use me, myself, or I also falls under the subject/object discussion. "Me" always functions as the object (except in that case); "I" is always the subject. And you only use "myself" when you've referred to yourself earlier in the sentence. It's called a reflexive pronoun — it corresponds to a pronoun previously in the sentence. For example, "I made myself breakfast" not "my friend and myself made lunch." To decide usage in "someone else and me/I" situations, take the other person out of the sentence. "My co-worker and I went to lunch." Is "I went to lunch" correct? You're good then.
6. "Lie" vs. "Lay" Dear everyone, stop saying: "I'm going to go lay down." The word "lay" must have an object. Someone lays something somewhere. You lie, unless you lay, which means lie but in the past tense. Okay, just look at the chart. PresentPast Lie Lay Laid
7. Irregular Verbs The English language has quite a few surprises. We can't list all the irregular verbs, but be aware they do exist. For example, no past tense exists for the word "broadcast." "Broadcasted" isn't a word. You'd say, "Yesterday, CNN broadcast a show." "Sneak" and "hang" also fall into the category of irregular verbs. Because the list of irregular verbs (and how to conjugate them) is so extensive, you'll have to look into them individually.
8. "Nor" vs. "Or" Use "nor" before the second or further of two alternatives when "neither" introduces the first. Think of it as "or" for negative sentences, and it's not optional. For example, "Neither my boss nor I understand the new program." You can also use nor with a negative first clause or sentence including "not." For example, "My boss didn't understand the program, nor did I."
9. "Then" vs. "Than" There's a simple distinction between these two words. Use "then" when discussing time. As in, "We had a meeting, and then we went to lunch." Include "than" in comparisons. "This meeting was more productive than the last one."
10. Ending Sentences With Prepositions First of all, don't do it — usually. Second, for those who don't know, prepositions are any words that a squirrel can "run" with a tree (i.e. The squirrel ran around, by, through, up, down, around, etc. the tree). "My boss explained company policy, which we had to abide by" sounds awful. In most cases, you can just transpose the preposition to the beginning of the clause. "My boss explained company policy, by which we had to abide," or better yet, rephrase the sentence to avoid this problem: "My boss explained the mandatory company policy."
11. Subject (And Possessive Pronoun) And Verb Agreement This rule seems a bit counterintuitive, but most plural subjects take verbs without an "s." For example, "she types," but "they type." The pronoun agreement comes into play when you add a possessive element to these sentences. "She types on her computer," and "they type on their computers." As a caveat, the pronoun "someone" requires "her or his" as the possessive.

Nail fungus 100% organic remedy Sephorris. 95% success rate. →
←Natural herbs herbal pack for pain relief and relaxation
Friday morning, February 26
As usual we woke up at around 8am and started our morning exercises.
I opened my eyes, looked around.
I am in a hospital bed. Plugged into some machines, tubes attached to my body.
Anna, my wife standing at my bed.
I am having a hard time remembering, but Anna told me that in our bedroom while doing exercises I dropped on the floor, my heart stopped.
The whole hospital reality seemed like a bad dream, or more accurate, like my twin in an alternate reality.
I could see familiar faces, friends and relatives in the room.
Nurses constantly coming, doing something with the equipment, checking my blood pressure.
I know I was talking to visitors, nurses and doctors. But all this seems so distant, unreal and foggy.
I remember looking through large windows, the road, cars passing by – all this surreal, distant, foreign.
Every time I would open my eyes, I saw Anna in the room. That helped me to cope, to stay in this reality.
Nights were worse because it was dark, Anna would try to sleep on the couch in the room. Machines were humming and clicking on the sides of my bed. I could not turn on my bed being hooked up to these machines. Nurses would come in every couple of hours doing something around me.
Plus I had hiccups that would not stop. Nurses gave me some medicine and that helped a little.
Because of the catheter, that I don't remember, I needed to pee pretty often and Anna would bring the dish (don't know the name) and I did my best.
As days went by I started to feel more real and alert and Anna told me what had happened.
Not all of it. (I don't want to know the details). Just that I dropped dead in the bedroom and she called the ambulance and did CPR while waiting for the paramedics.
My wife, My Anna saved my life.
Anna told me that the ambulance came in five minutes. First the paramedics used a defibrillator while I was on the floor in my bedroom. They did CPR in the car and used the defibrillator for ten minutes till they got to the emergency room.
My heart started to beat in the hospital. All together my heart did not work for twenty minutes.
After 4 days in intensive care I was transferred to a regular hospital room.
After a couple of days in that general room I was allowed to take walks in the corridor with the nurse.
That helped me to feel a little better.
There was a TV in the room. I remember watching it, half dreaming. The sound was off and I sometimes was not sure what I was watching. But it helped the time go faster. It has been a strange mix of dreams and reality. For me the whole affair is still not totally real.
To think that me being alive is just a lucky coincidence, makes me think of how the world would look without me. And I know that the world would not change.
And the fact that I am alive is close to a miracle. If at that time Anna had not been in the same room, or paramedics had arrived five minutes later, I would be dead – permanently.
So is there a reason for me having a second chance? What is my task? What do I have to accomplish?
What crossed my mind is maybe I had died and I am now in a parallel universe. So I was looking for some slight differences in what I see around me but did not see any.
What is strange is, the doctors don't know why my heart stopped. Two weeks prior I had an annual checkup and it did not show any problems.
After a week in the regular hospital room my cardiologists came in the room and told us that I could go home. So with Anna's help I got dressed and we walked outside to the car. While I was riding home I looked around – I did not recognize the surroundings.
I forgot to mention that I do not remember anything about being in the IC room. Later I read that if the brain starts to die, short term memory goes first.
But I am glad that I am back home. I was still weak but being at home helped.
But there was another problem – my fear of sleep. Was that anxiety or my subconscious memory of the ICU room? The first week I slept on the couch, half sitting up. I was terrified of lying down, of a dark room.
So every evening I was in a panic at the thought of going to bed.
But it is getting better. Finally I was able to stay in my bed all night. The dimmed light in the bedroom was on.
And I was laid my upper body high on two pillows. Still sometimes I would wake up and have an anxiety attack. I had to get up and walk around for a few minutes before I was able to go back to bed.
My doctor suggested Tylenol PM in the evening and I think it helped. Little by little I started to sleep better. I still need some light in the bedroom but hopefully that will pass.
I feel my pacemaker in my chest. I was told it will take some time to adjust.
I cannot say enough about people around me. My family, friends and relatives from all over the world. My older daughter Inna e-mailed updates to everybody.
My attitude changed somewhat. It is hard for me to do any long-term planning. But I realize that for all of us the future is unknown. And we all have to live with that.
So, my friends, hopefully my life will get back to normal. But I will never be the same. I was on the other side.
Life is impossible without sun. Sun created life on Earth. It cannot be bad for us. And people feel it and enjoy sunbathing.
Sunbathers live longer (and avoiding the sun could be as dangerous as smoking).
Vitamin D from the sun's rays is essential for the healthy functioning of our body and immune system and staying in the shade all the time could be a recipe for premature death, researchers from the Karolinksa University Hospital in Sweden have discovered. https://wddty.com/news/2016/03/sunbathers-live-longer-and-avoiding-the-sun-could-be-as-dangerous-as-smoking.html
Sunbathing also reduces blood pressure, cuts the risk of heart attacks and is more likely to prolong life than shorten it. Dermatologist Dr. Richard Weller, whose team conducted the study, said: "We suspect that the benefits to heart health of sunlight will outweigh the risk of skin cancer."
The big discovery is that when skin is exposed to sunlight, a compound called nitric oxide is released in blood vessels that helps lower blood pressure. The team's risk assessment comes from the estimate that heart disease and stroke linked to high blood pressure kills 80 times more people than skin cancer in the UK. http://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/health/health-benefits-sunbathing-outweigh-skin-1874870
Don't go crazy! Everything in moderation.
One cannot trust every bit of advice that "learned" people give because in a few years this advice will change to something totally opposite. Please use common sense and do everything in moderation.
Even if sun is good for you, don't spend hours in the sun because it will burn your skin. Start with 15 minutes per day and then increase the amount of time a little bit every day. But I would not advise spending more than a couple of hours per day, regardless on how long you have been adjusting to the sun.
"Then there's the issue of potentially harmful ingredients. The Environmental Working Group recommends avoiding sunscreens that contain oxybenzone, which can behave like estrogen in the body and retinyl palmitate, which may speed the development of skin tumors exposed to sun." http://www.treehugger.com/health/summer-skip-spray-sunscreen.html
Enjoy life, enjoy the sun and please stay healthy, my friends. And please try not to use sunscreen.
Diseases of the muscles and bones are among the most common of all human afflictions, affecting all ages, but becoming more prevalent with years. Government surveys indicate in the United States approximately 33% of adults currently suffer from troublesome arthritis with symptoms of swelling, limitation of motion, or pain. Approximately half of all people over 65 years report having arthritis. The regions of the body most affected are the neck, lower back, hip and shoulder. https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/health-science/featured-articles/articles/diet-only-hope-for-arthritis/
Importance of Exercise.
By Dr. Mercola
'Osteoarthritis is a degenerative form of arthritic joint disease, characterized by loss of cartilage in the joint. It also has an inflammatory component. Osteoarthritis is a frequent cause of disability among seniors, affecting 20 million people in the U.S. Alone. While osteoarthritis typically involves the distal joints on your fingers and toes, knee and hip osteoarthritis is also common, the latter of which is the focus of this article. Contrary to popular belief, if you have osteoarthritis then exercise is absolutely crucial to your well-being. Unfortunately, many with joint pain shun exercise. According to previous research, over 40 percent of men and 56 percent of women with osteoarthritis don't even get 10 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity per week. Less than 13 percent of men and less than 8 percent of women met the guideline of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity, low-impact activity per week.
According to the lead researcher, "The fact that so many people with arthritis are inactive should be a wake-up call to physicians."Indeed, if physicians could instill the importance of exercise to their arthritis patients, many would benefit immensely." http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2016/01/08/hip-osteoarthritis-exercises.aspx?e_cid=20160108Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20160108Z1&et_cid=DM94409&et_rid=1304096219
Physical therapy is beneficial. People with arthritis often have stiff joints — largely because they avoid movements that can increase pain. By not moving arthritic joints, however, the stiffness and pain only get worse. Therefore, people with arthritis often benefit from physical therapy http://www.webmd.com/osteoarthritis/guide/physical-occupational-therapy-devices
Obesity. More than two-thirds (68.8 percent) of adults are considered to be overweight or obese. More than one-third (35.7 percent) of adults are considered to be obese. More than 1 in 20 (6.3 percent) have extreme obesity. Almost 3 in 4 men (74 percent) are considered to be overweight or obese. Arthritis rates are more than twice as high in obese people as those who are normal weight, because the extra weight puts more pressure on your joints. This can not only lead to osteoarthritis, it can also make the condition exponentially worse.
Dangers of medications. Many people think that over-the-counter pain relievers must be harmless because they are available without a prescription. But repeated use of these drugs can damage your stomach, kidneys or liver. http://www.mayoclinic.org/arthritis-pain-medications/expert-answers/faq-20058391
So what do you do to prevent arthritis and to deal with it if you have it already?
Just by watching TV arthritis drug commercial you have an impression that there are more harm than good from using the drugs that pharma is pushing. Just listen to possible side effects.
"35 drugs we could find that have been recalled from the US market since the 1970s, some that had been in use since the 1930s. A sample of advertisements for only some of the drugs are included because there is a scarcity of ads for withdrawn drugs online due to manufacturers removing ads for withdrawn drugs as part of the agreement to no longer market the drugs." http://prescriptiondrugs.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=005528
Natural remedies summary
Move, exercise. Swim if you can, walk, do yoga (the best you can).

I am looking through the window
All is gray, wet and cold.
Droplets bombard the glass.
Black tree skeleton on the low heavy gray sky
Air is mixed with water dust and feels cold even from inside.
It makes my room feel warm and cozy.
Anticipation of winter in the air
Nature is ready for a long slumber.
Sleepy trees are shaking off last yellow and brown leafs
I noticed a single leaf
Still there, clinging to the black branch
Refusing to let go
The last leaf, it looked cold and lonely
The tree doesn't want it anymore
But for the leaf it is so hard to let go
It was born there
There is a desperate hope, an illusion
The last leaf
It does not want to die
It does not know-it is dead already
But the tree knows.
The spring will come again
It will wake up to a new bright sunshine
Sun will paint the sky blue
Eagerly anticipating summer
The tree will grow new leafs, a new beautiful coat
The last leaf does not know that it is dead already
It is holding on
It feels that the Universe will end if it let go.
A gust of wind
The leaf falls now indistinguishable from from others
Nobody noticed this drama except me
Life goes on
Nothing changed in the universe
There will be another stubborn leaf next fall
An expanding nation
There are many reasons we have an obesity epidemic in our country. Many can be controlled. Lifestyles, parenting, food. But most of all education and parents accepting responsibility for their children health. Parents should not be afraid to be tough sometimes.
Frog in the water
"Slow changes over time in anything we see every day become invisible and can be ignored – which is great for the aging wives among us but not so helpful for frogs or children whose parents who should be taking notice so something can be done about it."
"So if nearly everyone is obese then bizarrely no one is." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/obesity-is-now-so-normal-that-parents-can-t-see-it-in-their-kids/
Parents and kids.
Odds ratio analyses found children were 2.1 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.6, 2.8) times more likely to be obese if only their father was obese, 1.9 (95% CI: 1.5, 2.4) times more likely if only their mother was obese, and 3.2 (95% CI: 2.5, 4.2) times more likely if both parents were obese.
I don't know about you, but it makes me sad when I see little children who are obese guzzling down a soda, munching on a huge bag of potato chips, or eating junk food. Often times the parents are also eating the same foods as the kids. http://www.dianecarbonell.com/do-obese-parents-equals-obese-kids/
Poverty and obesity
National data indicate that obesity rates increased at all income levels between 1971 and 2002, but the poor did not necessarily experience the largest increases during this time period (Chang & Lauderdale, 2005).
According to one recent nationally representative sample, obesity prevalence was higher in lower income and education groups, but the rate of increase in obesity over two decades was faster for higher income and education groups (Singh et al., 2011). For instance, between 1992 and 2008, obesity prevalence increased by 42.3 percent for the lower income group compared to 88.5 percent for the higher income group. http://frac.org/initiatives/hunger-and-obesity/are-low-income-people-at-greater-risk-for-overweight-or-obesity/
One in three kids eats fast food daily.
Researchers found that kids and adolescents ate an average of 12.4% of their daily calories from fast food. Kids ages 12 to 19 ate twice as many calories from fast food restaurants as children ages two to 11. In total, close to 34% of children and adolescents from ages two to 19 ate fast food on a given day.
Political correctness gets in the way
The problem that emerges when we start to substitute euphemistic phrases for scientific terminology is that we start to de-emphasize the seriousness of the problems. For example, for people who do not like the stigma of being called "anorexic" should we just say that they are "too skinny." Some people do not like the stigma of being a cancer patient. Should we just say they just have "really bad cells?" What about people who don't like the stigma of major depressive disorder? Should we just say the have "the blues?" Should we tell patients they have "unhealthy sugar" instead of telling them they have diabetes mellitus? Where does it stop? http://blog.medfriendly.com/2011/10/little-johnny-is-obese-political.html
My politically incorrect conclusion.
Overweight kids are at risk! Their health, their future is at risk. Our country's future is at risk.
So pardon my language but fat and lazy parents should get off their fat and lazy butts and take control of their lives and of lives of their children. It takes effort and education. And tough love. And sometimes your feeling are hurt. And your children feelings also. And it's OK. Better for your health and well being.
My in laws need a temporary stay in a nursing home.
So my wife and I went there to check it out
Sadness and despair enveloped me
The hopelessness and emptiness of human shadows.
These people are swimming in the river Styx
The river to the underworld.
Figures in wheelchairs.
Slumped and motionless
Their faces, their eyes empty
These people are not here anymore
They, their souls are in transition
Suspended half way
Away from our world
Being carried by the river's current
Such a depressing feeling
This place is trying to get hold of me
To pull me in it's deadly current
These people lived long lives
Long lives nearing the end
Lives full of hopes, ambitions, desires.
Lives outside these walls
Now just ashes left
Remnants of lives fully lived
Ashes floating away
I feel sorry for them, afraid
And I cannot help wondering
What awaits me?
What the future holds?
Will I become a ghost of myself?
Slumped in a wheelchair, helpless
No will to go on
The thought scares me
These people
Why go on?
But what are the choices?
Are there choices?
Who is to decide when it is time?
Will I end up like this?
Held up in this world by loved once?
But soon we left the nursing home and we are back among the living
We better live every day I thought
Live it the best we can, do something, enjoy every day.
While we can
We don't know what the future holds.
Greek myth a river in Hades across which Charon ferried the souls of the dead
[from Greek Stux; related to stugein to hate] http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Styx
By Ella Zibitsker.
We often think about weight problem as a stand-alone issue that can be easily resolved by either dieting or/and exercising. And sometimes it's true, we can lose some pounds by eating less or adding some exercises to our daily routine. And then we gain it all back. So, why most of us cannot keep the weight down for long period of time? And the bigger question is, if overweight is an indication of poor health, should we focus on health first?
I found the answer in George Oshawa's famous quote: "The principle without the technique is useless; the technique without the principle is dangerous."
For me, macrobiotics provides a concept based on over 4,000 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine and techniques developed by George Oshawa, Michio Kushi, and Herman Aihara, as well as many of their associates and pupils. Macrobiotics is not another diet, it's a lifestyle based on 4 principles. It stipulates that if you want to stay healthy or heal you should:
I watched many people following these principles to improve their health and inevitably losing weight. Some lost 30-40 pounds in just 3-4 months. And by changing the lifestyle they managed not only keep the weight down but to create extraordinary health. That's the result we should expect and work for.
After reading Michio Kushi's book "The Macrobiotic Way", I realized that this is the only way to regain health back. For me changing my lifestyle by adopting these principles was a matter of life and death. You see, 17 years ago I was diagnosed with terminal cancer and wasn't offered any treatment. I dived in to the world of macrobiotics, met Michio, did everything he told me, completely changed my lifestyle and 9 months later was clear of cancer. Since that time my health improved and so did the weight. I lost about 20 pounds and never gained them back. Hundreds of people turned to macrobiotics as a last resort, but more and more people started thinking about staying healthy and practice common sense lifestyle that is based on the above 4 principles.
If you're completely satisfied with the way you are – great, but if you don't maybe you should re-examine the principles and techniques you are using. They might be useless or dangerous. I encourage you to discover and explore the world of macrobiotics and create a life full of energy and enjoyment.

Obesity Epidemic in America
Nathan, Thanks for posting your thoughts about the problem of obesity in America…and I will repeat that morbid obesity is a serious health problem in our country. Being overweight is a condition that I can personally attest to as I was 40 pounds overweight in high school. Fortunately, for me, I was able to reach my ideal weight in college. But the psychological problems with being "fat" (not a politically-correct term) remain fresh in my mind. The low self esteem, feeling of being mocked, social isolation, depression – these are just a few of the problems that can occur, to say nothing about the health risks associated with the problem. I think that obesity is an illness, a problem that needs to be identified by the person who is overweight. Otherwise, we remain in a constant state of denial.
Perhaps the present efforts to "normalize" this problem (and even to exalt it) is a reaction to all the media that says, in order to be beautiful, you must be thin. Research has shown that the epidemic of anorexia in teenage girls is ostensibly due to the pressure felt during these years of "fitting in", being "normal". It is an attempt to also be beautiful and desirable. We have subsequently learned that the serious problems with anorexia have mostly to do with being in control and remaining small (a dependent child).
The pendulum has swung to the other end of saying and thinking that obesity is OK…it is not. All efforts to the contrary keeps the problem entrenched. There are two issues with the "normal" American diet, I believe, that perpetuate the problem. The first is our craving of sugar…carbohydrates that have little nutritional value and lots of calories. I'm not saying no carbs, I'm saying smaller portions. Our craving of sweets is like an addiction to anything…drugs, alcohol, cigarettes (another drug), gambling, sex, etc. When we experience pleasure, that pleasure-center in our brain is stimulated and we then want more, much more, of that same pleasure. Consequently, in order to achieve a healthy diet and pattern of eating, we must go through a period of "withdrawal". This can be done…it just requires some patience and resolve.
The second problem has to do with our "normal" portions of food. We have successfully super-sized practically everything we eat; e.g., "all you can eat" diners and restaurants, 20 oz. sodas (with free refills) and carbs, carbs and carbs! A traveler from England was commenting on the things she liked and didn't like about Chicago. She had heard about our larger portions before she arrived, but she couldn't believe her eyes when she actually saw it. I think the food industry is also at fault for putting corn syrup in practically everything we eat. And, finally, I believe our problem with obesity must be addressed through education, poking at the denial we use to justify our bad habits and by closing our mouths!
About the author.
I went off to college and, for the first time in my life, I felt that I was in control of my life. My mom, bless her heart, always tried to help me lose weight. But her methods enraged me…she would restrict me from eating what my sisters could eat, usually sweets and desserts. My family would have pie or ice cream for dessert and I would be served canned fruit cocktail. Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate fruit cocktail…I hated being the only one who was different restricted, all the time.So in college, I decided to impose my own restrictions when eating and I began to exercise. I did lose weight and I think subconsciously, I wanted to show my mother how I succeeded where she failed. My self-esteem and body image were the reason I chose to lose weight and clearly I wanted to manage it myself. I learned something that helped me when I became a parent…you can't control the behavior of your children…all you can do is to help mold it and provide some direction. Susie.
"Excess weight harms health in many ways. It increases the risk of developing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis and some cancers, to name just a few, and reduces one's life span. Treating obesity and obesity-related conditions costs billions of dollars a year. By one estimate, the U.S. spent $190 billion on obesity-related health care expenses in 2005—double previous estimates. (1) The enormity of this economic burden and the huge toll that excess weight takes on health and well-being are beginning to raise global political awareness that individuals, communities, states, nations, and international organizations must do more to stem the rising tide of obesity." http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/obesity-prevention-source/obesity-consequences/economic/
Two extremes are equally bad.
Overweight and proud of it? Really? I think it is a convenient excuse to be lazy.
Yes, there are overweight people who are sick and just cannot loose weight.
But the majority just live and eat unhealthily and don't have the drive to do something about being obese.
And these obese models are giving these lazy, overweight people a good excuse to do nothing about their problem.
Considering that we already have an obesity epidemic, promoting obesity as a norm contributes greatly to the problem.
Americans are living large. Extra large. As in XXXXL large size. As in baby-powdered-thighs large. As in wheezing, heaving, bust-the-car-suspension large. Overweight has become the new normal and society is straining to accommodate our ever-expanding waistlines. We plant plush bottoms on wider seats in theaters and toilet stalls, drape ourselves in plus-sized clothing, even go to our eternal rest in broader coffins. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than two-thirds of Americans are overweight and a third, some 72 million people, are considered obese. From 1980 to 2008, obesity rates doubled for adults and tripled for children, with 17 percent, or 9 million children over 6, classified as obese. http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2011-06-12/news/fl-overweight-new-normal-20110601_1_apparel-size-vanity-sizing-obesity-rates
And please don't give these lame excuses like, "I love myself the way I am". In my opinion if you love yourself you will take care of yourself. Why do you go to school, college, style your hair, buy nice clothes and shave your legs if you love yourself just the way you are? It is a known fact that overweight people get sick more often and die sooner. Is that how you love yourself? That you are willing to die sooner?
The only way to deal with a problem is to name it, to admit that you have a problem and to do one's best to overcome, to defeat the problem. That's what love means.
US Adult Obesity Rate Rises Again. https://www.yahoo.com/health/us-adult-obesity-rate-rises-again-109302297992.html
Walmart contributes to obesity.
A new report puts some of the blame for Americans' expanding waistlines on the growth of new Wal-Mart supercenters in the US.
"We live in an environment with increasingly cheap and readily available junk food," Charles Courtemanche, an assistant professor of economics at Georgia State University and one of the report's co-authors, told the Washington Post. "We buy in bulk. We tend to have more food around. It takes more and more discipline and self-control to not let that influence your weight."
Matter of national security.
Mission: Readiness, an organization of retired military leaders, has reported that 27 percent of today's young adults are too fat to serve in the military, causing concern about the strength of the nation's future military. http://www.prb.org/Publica
The new data shows that if current trends continue, 43 percent of U.S. adults will be obese and obesity spending will quadruple to $344 billion by 2018. However, if obesity rates are instead held at current levels, the U.S. would save nearly $200 billion in health care costs. http://www.fightchronicdisease.org/media-center/releases/new-data-shows-obesity-costs-will-grow-344-billion-2018
World shifts focus to hidden hunger as global obesity expands.
The study's authors emphasize that obesity and other derivatives of poor nutrition -- collectively termed "hidden hunger"-- have become increasingly important issues as traditional hunger has eroded. The ODI found increased consumption of meats, sugars, fats and oils across the globe and noted that "increasingly, the concern is less about macro-nutrition and more about micro-nutrition."
Food loss due in part to centralization and over eating.
In 2011, 1.3 billion tons of food, or about one third of all the food produced globally, was lost or wasted annually, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN. In developed countries, the average person wastes about 100 kilograms of food every year.
Locally grown food would help.
Research shows that based on average weight gain through adulthood,
people are consuming 20 to 30 per cent too many calories. So eating a healthier, more balanced diet would not only help tackle the obesity epidemic, it would also take as much as a third of the caloric demands out of the global food chain. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/food-waste-overeating-threaten-global-security-1.2436729
Highly centralized distribution of products.
Above is just one example of our current economic model that is unsustainable.
So what is the solution?
"Designing for quality of life defined by experiential and social wealth, not material wealth." (Further Reading) We often define "quality of life" in terms of material consumption–something that it seems fairly clear will decline due to energy descent. But is material consumption really what gives our lives quality? Our current system is geared toward maximizing production and consumption–how can it be redesigned to instead maximize our health, our happiness, the vibrancy of our communities and other sources of true "quality" of life?" http://www.resilience.org/stories/2010-05-02/promise-decentralization-localization-and-scale-free-self-sufficiency
Technology can help.
3D printing.
As applications of technology expand and prices drop, the first big implication is that more goods will be manufactured at or close to their point of purchase or consumption. This might even mean household-level production of some things. (You'll pay for raw materials and the IP–the software files for any designs you can't find free on the web). Short of that, many goods that have relied on the scale efficiencies of large, centralized plants will be produced locally. Even if the per-unit production cost is higher, it will be more than offset by the elimination of shipping and of buffer inventories. Whereas cars today are made by just a few hundred factories around the world, they might one day be made in every metropolitan area. Parts could be made at dealerships, repair shops and assembly plants could eliminate the need for supply chain management by making components as needed. https://hbr.org/2013/03/3-d-printing-will-change-the-world
Power grids and local power production.
New technologies like micro-nuclear power generations and efficient and affordable solar energy.
New research in orbiting solar power stations.
Cars printed on demand locally.
Please read more: Here is one of my articles about the new approach to a sustainable economic model based on new technology and new thinking of what makes us happy.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
Morning Pointe of Lexington-East is a great place. It is brand new, and everything is just really nice. Everything is new and very clean. They are very upscale. There is a granite countertop in the bathroom. The common areas are decorated well. They look very nice. There is a really nice baby grand piano. The staff is very professional and very caring. I live four hours away, and I feel like if I cannot get there on time, they are really there, supportive, and taking care of my mother. They do some projects which I am really impressed with. They also bring in a lot of musicians which I think for the elderly is very important, and that helps my mom a lot. It is way above a lot of other places.

I visited this facility
The staff at Morning Pointe of Lexington East was helpful. It was very clean, freshly decorated, and up-to-date. We weren't there that long because it didn't meet my father's needs as he's more independent. The rooms were small, refreshing, and handicap accessible. They felt very hotel-room-like, but they did a good job. The dining area was very open and right by the front door.

I visited Morning Pointe, and I was very impressed. That's where I would have moved her had she lived. The staff was courteous, knowledgeable, and empathetic. The rooms were very nice, spacious, and clean. The dining room was clean and spacious too. It's very secured, fresh looking, and bright. They have crafts, bingo, and many activities.

Jon Jagger
Multi Threaded C++ for Embedded Systems
Course feedback
Jon's extremely good at presenting information, and completely on top of the material.
I enjoyed the C++ element, and found it illuminating.
The quality of the training was very good.
The design of the C++ interface was very educational.
Jon is very good at teaching: engaging, easy to listen to, etc.
I learnt some neat c++ tricks and techniques.
I thought it was very good.
It certainly raised a few issues I'd never thought of.
Jon's training encouraged me to think more about abstracting some of the messier C API functionality.
It made me realise how little thought I've put into some of my recent OO designs!
An informative experience.
An all round a good thing.
At the end of each course I ask the delegates for some feedback by asking just two simple questions:
"What was the best thing about the course"
"What was the worst thing about the course"
. I use the answers to the first question to promote myself and the answers to the second question to improve my courses.

About Us
The vision of Wycliffe Bible Translators is that all peoples would discover the Bible for themselves in a language they fully understand.
It's been a remarkable journey since William Cameron Townsend first ventured out in 1917 to share the Scriptures with the Cachiquel Indians in Guatemala.
Since those early pioneering days the pace of Bible translation has accelerated beyond anything we might have asked or imagined. Wycliffe Bible Translators UK & Ireland is now part of an international family called the Wycliffe Global Alliance of approximately 100 organisations from more than 60 nations working alongside many partner organisations, individuals from local communities and national organisations.
Read on to discover our historical roots, our values, how we go about the task of Bible translation, and the size of the remaining challenge before us. We hope you'll find answers to your questions here, but if not, you can always use our online contact form to find out more.

Howard Schultz, the chairman and CEO of Starbucks said, "Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical." This statement is especially true about many entrepreneurs that one comes across each day. Entrepreneurs often give their all in the pursuit of a good idea. That idea becomes their raison d'être and fills them with an extraordinary amount of hope. Let's face it, not all great ideas will end up as resounding successes. But, the fact remains that one idea can inspire a person enough to make the individual move out of the routine of nagging bosses and meagre increments.
Everyone gets ideas – sure. If you set your mind to it, you can probably come up with one every few minutes. It takes longer to come up with million-dollar ones. But again, not everyone can give up the security of what they have to pursue the idea that makes them look at life from a different perspective. This is precisely what separates the average Jane or Joe from an aspiring entrepreneur. You might feel that only a handful of people have the guts and the ability to follow their ideas and launch their own businesses. But, the following numbers might give you second thoughts:
These numbers highlight that there are a lot more people out there who dare to follow their dreams than you might think. Many of these might be operating conventional businesses such as beauty salons, auto repair shops, restaurants etc. But, some individuals have also made money from some of the most bizarre ideas ever conceived.
If you're on the road frequently and find that the shoulder strap of your car seatbelt is causing some discomfort, then you need a Tiddy Bear. This bear is a teddy bear strapped to the seatbelt and placed over the chest. It helps to keep the strap from digging into the skin. The brainchild of Dee Hoffman and Marcia Burke, the Tiddy Bear emerged when Burke, a breast cancer survivor, found that she needed additional levels of comfort from her car's shoulder strap. This product eliminated the need to grin and bear issues of awkward and uncomfortable shoulder straps while driving. The Tiddy Bear also earned praise from Ellen DeGeneres. She termed it as 'one of the best inventions ever found'. She certainly put her money where her mouth was. By gifting Tiddy Bears to the entire audience on her show, she used it to promote breast cancer awareness. Click here to view the infomercial.
Would you consider purchasing a blanket that had sleeves? Allstar Products Group, a direct response company, felt that people would. So, they aired their first infomercial in the fall of 2008. The Snuggie was by no means a unique product. But, a promotional blitz on television catapulted it into a phenomenon. The Snuggie did not merely appear on Oprah, Ellen and TODAY. Five years after its release, it has sold over 35 million units and earned over $500 million for its promoters. Interestingly, Allstar promoted 80 products in 2008. In the words of Scott Boilen, the president and CEO of Allstar, had the list been pruned down to 50, the Snuggie would not have made the cut. People with cold feet or hands probably loved the Snuggie. It certainly gave a different spin to the concept of 'hands-free'. View the infomercial here.
Similar in appearance to a Bluetooth headset, this personal sound amplifier lets you amplify sounds from as far as 90 feet away. Marketed by Bell & Howell, this product can give you sonic hearing by amplifying sound by as much as 50db. For people with mild hearing loss, this lightweight product is a godsend. Some of the top retailers in the US such as CVS and Walgreens stock this product, thereby testifying to its high efficacy levels. With the Silver Sonic XL, people will always have their ear to the ground – even if it isn't always apparent! Click here to view the infomercial.
The ShoeDini is a shoehorn with an adjustable, telescopic handle. Meant for people with arthritis or limited mobility, it can help people wear their shoes without having to bend over. Moreover, it works on all styles of shoes too. You can purchase this inexpensive product from major retailers such as Sears, Kmart and Best Buy. Houdini might not approve of the name. But then it's doubtful that he would ever have needed this. You can view the infomercial here.
When a product sells over two million units and earns you about $40 million in sales, it's no laughing matter, right? Wrong. The countless parodies of the Shake Weight that abound on YouTube prove otherwise. The product by itself is merely a modified dumbbell that oscillates in an up-and-down direction. The female version of the product weighs 2.5 pounds, while the male version weighs five pounds. Based on vibration plate technology, the vibrations of this product help in toning the upper biceps, triceps and shoulders. Tested on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and This Morning, many people continue to remain undecided about the perceived benefits of the product. But, whether it does any wonders for you physically or not, the sexual innuendo associated with the ad will certainly improve your sense of humor. Click here to view the infomercial.
Many people don't exactly have sports on their mind when they visit a restroom. The Potty Putter has made quite a few people amend this notion. Comprising a putter, a cup with a flag and two golf balls, this product has been available in Walmart and Sears for years now. Ideal for golfing aficionados who cannot get enough time to practice on the greens, this product lets people practice their putting while on the toilet. So, if you ever happen to see a 'Do Not Disturb' hanging from your bathroom door, remember the occupant is merely aiming and shooting. View the infomercial here.
If you've got a bone to pick with someone, try these wishbones. They only have a lifecycle of about 12 seconds. So, you can open the package, use the wishbone and then dispose of it. Priced at $4 for a pack of four wishbones, you can fight with these at just about any dinner. The packaging and the wishbones are both recyclable. More importantly, these wishbones do not give vegetarians an excuse to avoid fighting any more. The company typically produces about 30,000 plastic wishbones daily. So, don't worry about running out of wishbones.
This product entered the markets back in 1984-85. They say music is the voice of the soul. But, the person who dreamed up this product probably wanted music to be the voice of your clothes. Priced at $34.95, this vest was ideal for listening to music at any time. All you needed to do was to wear it while you were jogging, exercising, shopping, taking the dog for a walk etc. You might wonder what the cleaning costs might amount to? Well, the speaker system in the vest utilized waterproof technology. So, your vest would not experience any problems during cleaning whatsoever. This might be music to your ears. But, be warned. This product is no longer available. But, if you're keen on getting a similar item, click here. Or, if you want to see what the Music Vest looked like, click here.
Distributed via the App Store, the iFart Mobile is an application for the Apple iOS. When you press a button after launching the app, you can play some colorfully-named sounds of flatulence from the given selection. You can play the sound at an ordained time. Or, you can even set the phone to play the sound if someone picks up your phone. Launched in December 2008, the app reached the top spot on the application charts before Christmas 2008. On Christmas Day 2008, it had generated $30,000 worth of revenue with over 40,000 sales. The app continued to occupy the top slot for three more weeks and stayed in the top ten, until mid-January 2009. By that time, the app had sold over 350,000 copies. This app certainly raised the bar (and a stink) for other apps. View the infomercial here.
Also called the Hula Chair, this chair aimed at getting couch potatoes or workaholics to work out, without leaving their chairs. At first glance, the Hawaii Chair looks like any other desk chairs that you might have come across. But, the seat rotates in a circular motion. So, anyone sitting on this chair will start simulating the movements of a hula dancer. The makers claim that the chair helps in strengthening the sitter's abdominal muscles, slimming the waist and improving the blood circulation. But, some people have found that the rotating motion of the chair (at 2,800 revolutions per minute) is quite similar to a mechanical bull or a carnival ride. The Hawaii Chair featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. But, if she was a fencesitter at the time, she definitely changed her tunes when she found pouring a glass of water while sitting on the chair to be a stretch. To see a similar product, click here.

This is an electrically powered vacuum cleaner attachment used for cutting hair. Developed by San Diego carpenter, Rick Hunts, in the late 1980s, this hair-clipping device attaches to a vacuum cleaner. Thereafter, users can use this product for cutting their curls. A product that assumed legendary proportions, it even spawned a rival that went by the name of "Suck Kut". The film Wayne's World even did a spoof on this device. But, by the year 2000, Hunts had sold more than two million units. Among other things, you can use this device to groom dogs with long hair too. So, if you're having a bad hair day, you could do a lot worse than getting this device and resolving your problem. You could view the infomercial here.
If you cannot do without your aviator glasses, why do you assume that your dog can? To remedy the problem, purchase Doggles. Doggles is the first and only eye protection designed and created for dogs. Besides goggles, the makers also provide various tough, durable and green dog toys. All models of Doggles have flexible and snug-fitting frames fitted with foam padding against the face. They feature adjustable elastic head and chin straps for keeping the goggles secure. And, they come with shatterproof and anti-fog lenses. If you want to protect your canine from foreign objects, the wind and ultraviolet light, purchase one of these. Roni Di Lullo came up with this idea when she spotted her dog (Midknight) squinting in the sunlight. In the first years, Doggles generated $100,000 in terms of revenue. By 2004, more than 4,500 shops spread across 16 countries were selling Doggles. The sales volume of last year touched the $3 million mark. Talk about seeing things from a fresh perspective…
If you like fishing and listening to the birds singing, you might develop a fondness for Big Mouth Billy Bass. This animatronic singing prop resembles a largemouth bass. Invented in 1998, the body of the fish features latex rubber with a plastic mechanical skeleton inside. The fish does not merely sing songs such as 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' or 'Take Me to the River'.

William Mosforth (1859 – 11 July 1929) was an English football player who played either as an inside or outside left. Born in Sheffield he played for several Sheffield clubs but the majority of his career was spent at The Wednesday. He later joined Sheffield United, playing in their first season in existence before retiring in 1890 . He won nine caps for England between 1877 and 1882, which was a record at the time, scoring three goals for his country.
Club career[edit]
Playing in his home town of Sheffield for his entire career Mosforth was known as the 'Little Wonder' or 'The Sheffield Dodger' due to his small stature.[1] He was often considered the best local player during his era[2] with outstanding ball control, crossing ability and long dribbles, sometimes taking it the entire length of the pitch! He was also a leading exponent of the "screw shot" that allowed him to bend the ball in the air,[3] a technique that was developed in Sheffield at the time and is now commonplace in the game.
Mosforth began his career at Sheffield Albion and made his debut at 14 but was famous for swapping sides and profiteering from his play.[4] As an amateur player he was allowed to play for more than one club under FA rules at that time, although like many players Mosforth probably received some sort of payment for his services. One anecdotal story says that when he ran onto the pitch in Hallam colours someone in the crowd shouted "10 bob and free drinks, Billy, if you'll change your shirt". He promptly ran back to the dressing room and returned in a Sheffield Wednesday shirt. Despite this he was selected to play for the Sheffield Football Association in 1876 at the age of 18.[2]
Signing for The Wednesday in 1878 Mosforth would remain with the club for almost a decade, scoring their first ever goal at their Olive Grove ground, but continued to play for a number of other local teams during that period. In 1879 he played for The Zulus a touring side created to aid families of casualties of the Zulu War. The side became embroiled in controversy when it was revealed that the players were to make money themselves (a practice illegal at the time). Like many of the Wednesday players who were involved in the Zulu team, Mosforth was also one of the players who pushed them into becoming professional team. He played for the break-away team (Sheffield Rovers) that intended to become Sheffield's first professional side, but he returned to the Wednesday fold after professionalism was agreed upon.
After leaving The Wednesday he was amongst the first players to answer the advertisement asking for players to form the new Sheffield United team that were placed in the local press.[1] He duly signed for the new club and remained at Bramall Lane for one season (prior to their entry into The Football League), having the distinction of scoring United's first ever goal at the ground and of being one of the first players to play for both leading sides in the city. Mosforth was also the first Blades player to be 'substituted' during a match (before substitutes were permitted) when a team mate was late arriving for a game against Bolton Wanderers, coincidentally the first game to be played under floodlights, meaning that Mosforth was asked to fill in until his team mate arrived.[1]
International career[edit]
Mosforth made his debut for England in March 1877, appearing in a friendly against Scotland. He went on to play nine times for his country and scored three goals.[5]
International goals[edit]
|5 April 1879
|Kennington Oval, London
|13 March 1880
|Hampden Park, Glasgow
|13 March 1882
|Racecourse Ground, Wrexham
Billy Mosforth holds a number of records in the game, these are as follows:
First player to play for both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United.
First player to score for both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United.
Scored the first goal at Sheffield United's ground Bramall Lane.
First Sheffield United player to be 'substituted'.
Record England Cap holder at the time.
Played in the first professional game to be played under floodlights.
Scored Sheffield Wednesday's first ever goal at the Olive Grove
Personal life[edit]
Mosforth was an engraver by trade and was an all round athlete, competing in both flat and hurdle races and playing for Hallam Cricket Club.[1] After he retired from playing Mosforth became a licensee in Sheffield.[1]

Design, Development and Validation Testing of a Versatile PLD Implementable Single-Chip Heterogeneous, Hybrid and Reconfigurable Multiprocessor Architecture (HDCA) By J. Robert (Bob) Heath**, Sridhar Hegde, Kanchan Bhide, Paul Maxwell, Xiaohui Zhao and Venugopal Duvvuri Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Kentucky Lexington, Kentucky 40506 **email@example.com
Heath MAPLD 2005/2472 Abstract There appear to be an increasing number of real-time and non-real-time computer applications where the application may be described by process and/or data-flow graphs (from here on we use the term "process flow graphs"). Such applications include radar signal processing, sonar signal processing, various system simulation environments utilized within Computer Aided Design (CAD) software systems, communications signal processing, routing, collection and processing of data from multiple sensors/instruments, its storage, etc. For such applications, a first goal is the availability of a computer system/architecture platform which will allow an application described by a process flow graph of any topology to be mapped to and executed on the computer system/architecture. The application process flow graph could be single or multiple input/output and cyclic or acyclic. Processes are represented by nodes of the graphs. Further, it would be desirable for the computer system/architecture to be able to continue execution of the application with minimum interruption if the application process flow graph topology were to dynamically change during application execution. This goal is referred to as application level reconfigurability. A second goal for the same computer system/architecture would be that it have the ability to dynamically on-the-fly configure, move, or assign processors or other physical resources to application processes (and/or vice versa, the assignment of additional copies of a process to additional processors) that may need them at any time. This goal is referred to as node level reconfigurability. A third goal for the same computer system/architecture would be that it be a single-chip heterogeneous multiprocessor system and that it would have the capability to dynamically on-the-fly configure and reconfigure, if and when needed, single processor architectures within the overall multiprocessor architecture. We refer to this goal as processor architecture level reconfigurability. With proper Operating System (OS) and other system software support, a computer system/architecture platform which can meet these three goals should be able to execute a wide range of non-real and real-time applications described by process flow graphs of any topology in a fault tolerant manner. The contributions of this paper are in that it describes the research and development and current status of the development, testing and evaluation of such a computer system architecture. HDL "virtual prototype" functional and performance simulation testing results are shown for the architecture executing simple hypothetical applications. Future research, development and testing of the architecture is addressed. The described architecture paradigm and platform is known as a single-chip Hybrid Data/Command Driven Architecture (HDCA) system. A reconfigurable/dynamic production HDCA system would be implemented to Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs).
Heath MAPLD 2005/2473 Goals, Objectives and Functionality of HDCA System Applicable to a wide-range of applications, especially those modeled by process flow graphs. Heterogeneous Shared-Memory Model Multiprocessor Architecture. Allows a mix of Simple and Complex Special-Purpose and General-Purpose Processors. Single-Chip Architecture Implemented to Programmable Logic Device (PLD) Technology. May be used for real-time or non-real-time applications. Scalable architecture. Fault-tolerant architecture. May operate in a data-driven or command-driven environment at process level. Idea is for a small number of short control-tokens to flow through the architecture rather than more voluminous data. Dynamic/Reconfigurable at the "application level". Dynamic/Reconfigurable at the "node level". Dynamic/Reconfigurable at the "processor architecture level".

The Romney camp's charge came in a hard-hitting, new TV ad accusing Obama of misleading, unfair and untrue attacks.
The Obama campaign hit back, blasting Romney's "big Bain lie" and raising the possibility that he committed a felony for possibly mischaracterizing his exit from the Boston-based private equity firm he once ran.
Both sides looked to paint the other as little more than the typical politician as they sought an edge in what polls have shown to be a neck-and-neck contest. But each ran the risk of alienating voters fed up with negative campaigning.
The Romney campaign ad, titled "No Evidence," accuses Obama of falsely depicting the former Massachusetts governor as someone who shipped jobs overseas when he ran Bain Capital. The ad, which will run in several battleground states, asks voters: "When a president doesn't tell the truth, how can we trust him to lead?"
The ad tries to show that dishonesty is a pattern with Obama and points to his 2008 Democratic primary rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton, to do it "
