Community, Drama Romania by Alex Perry
My name is Alex Perry and I am a mid-career scientist from the United Kingdom. I was at a time of my life where I felt I would like to take a career break. Drama has always been my hobby and so I sought out opportunities to be a drama volunteer. I found the advertisement on the Projects Abroad website for a drama placement in Romania and I applied immediately.
First Impressions of Romania
I didn't really know anything about Romania prior to arriving, except that it was the land of Dracula. I was also unsure if I would fit in, as I am a generation older than the typical gap-year teenager. Fortunately, I found that the children, my host family, the Projects Abroad staff, my fellow volunteers and the people of Romania to be very welcoming. They showed good humour, warmth and helpfulness and helped make Brasov a home from home for me. Brasov itself is a picturesque, medieval town that has a fascinating history and beautiful walks.
The Speak Out Contest
I became a Projects Abroad volunteer in Brasov in order to use drama to improve the spoken English of children. During my time in Romania I have been surprised by the high standard of English that the school kids have displayed. For example, it was my privilege to be invited to judge a 'Speak Out' contest. Speak Out is a national contest that encourages children of all ages to achieve a strong grasp of the English language. I judged a regional heat that was held at the Andrei Saguna School in Brasov.
Each child was challenged to produce a five minute monologue discussing their values and the values of their society. What I saw surpassed 'textbook' English. They showed a mastery of English slang and humour and expressed some very complex ideas. The kids did a lot more than simply speak well. They used drama, costumes, assistants and multi-media techniques to give exceptionally polished presentations.
I have seen teenagers in England (where I am from) perform similar exercises. All of the competitors in Brasov achieved a higher standard than their average English counterpart. In England, French and German are the most commonly taught second languages. I have never encountered a 16-year-old English child who could give a monologue in either French or German to the standard that these Romanian children achieved in English.
Teaching Drama to School Children
I taught drama classes at three secondary schools and one elementary school. Also I co-led Projects Abroad's own drama group in the Projects Abroad Office. During my short time (three months) in Brasov, I have encountered children who are hungry to learn and teachers who are ambitious about what the kids can achieve. For example, I was pleasantly surprised when a group of 11 to 12-year-olds asked us to increase the number of drama sessions with us.
A typical drama class consisted of a warm-up game ('Burn it' was a perennial favourite), a focus on a specific drama skill, such as speech or movement, and the performance of a British or American piece of drama. For example, in one class the children re-enacted a whole episode of the British TV series Blackadder.
The other volunteers and I performed a short version of Aladdin for children from care centres. Since these children had limited English we used some Romanian dialogue; 'cine este' was my Romanian line. We also included games and music in the show. The kids loved the show.
Oscar Night
Children from two of the schools took part in an 'Oscar Night.' The Projects Abroad Black Juice Group and the kids of School 27 (Junior Black Juice) performed scenes from the best Hollywood movies. The rich and varied film selection catered to all tastes. For lovers of fantasy we presented Harry Potter and Alice in Wonderland. Comedy fans were greatly amused by The Hangover and Mean Girls.
The romantics were heart warmed by Titanic. And for those of you who like simple yet meaningful drama, we presented Forrest Gump. The tastes of the younger movie fans were met by our presentations of The Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks. The show raised over 700 Romanian lei for a children's centre.

Mission Apolo: Ohno Takes on IRONMAN World Championship
After hanging up his blades four years ago, world-champion speedskating legend Apolo Ohno is making his athletic comeback. This time, the eight-time medalist has teamed up with the BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK campaign to take on a training and recovery journey that will culminate at the world's most grueling endurance race: the IRONMAN World Championship triathlon – a 140.6-mile swim-bike-run event in Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i. Ohno will be challenged to translate his speed and power to a brand new sport, carrying the torch for football legend Hines Ward who successfully put his athleticism and determination to the test at the iconic race last year.
Ohno's transformational journey will be captured in an eight-episode online documentary series, Mission Apolo: BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK that will show his highs and lows as he builds from short-course competitor to a long-course endurance athlete. Fans will be able to watch Ohno's inspiring – and entertaining – journey on www.gotchocolatemilk.com and will get an inside look at how building an effective recovery routine, including chocolate milk – the Official Refuel Beverage of some of the most prominent sports organizations and teams in the world including the IRONMAN® triathlon series, the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series, USA Hockey and Women's Ski Jumping USA – plays a critical role in his success.
"For the past 20 years, recovery has been the number one element in my training because that's where you rebound and how your body heals," said Ohno. "Anyone can perform well for one workout, but to do it repeatedly is the difficult part. Recovery, with the help of chocolate milk, is what's kept me in the game. That's why I'm so excited to team up with BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK to take on this challenge because as an athlete, I know you can train and perform only as hard and as fast as you recover. It's time to really put my recovery ritual to the test while training for my biggest race yet. I've always had tremendous respect for endurance athletes and now it's my turn to push myself. It'll be tough but I've never been one to back away from a challenge."
"Apolo is in for one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of his life," said football star-turned triathlete Hines Ward, who finished the 2013 GoPro IRONMAN World Championship in 13 hours and 8 minutes. "I wish him all the best – but if he beats my time I may just have to come back and give it another try!"
Building from :40 Seconds on the Ice to 140.6 Miles in the Lava Fields
An eight-time medalist and the most decorated American winter athlete of all time, Ohno made his debut in endurance sports with a 3:25 finish at the 2011 New York City Marathon, which is only one-third of the disciplines he will face at the IRONMAN World Championship in October.
After commentating from Sochi during the 2014 Games, Ohno missed the intensity of competition and sought a new challenge. While speedskating and endurance sports both require mental focus, which Ohno is known for, his success will depend on him mastering and combining three sports: swimming, biking and running. Ohno will show how he is built with determination and focus as he assess new goals for competition; going from finishing first place after :40 seconds of quick intensity and agility to sustaining steady speed and endurance for 140.6 miles among a field of top athletes in the sport.
"We couldn't be more proud to have Apolo as the face of this program," said Miranda Abney, Marketing Director of the Milk Processor Education Program, the group behind the BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK campaign. "He's already proven he's one of the world's greatest athletes, but we look forward to showing people what an incredible role model he is as he digs deep and pushes himself to his limit to accomplish this extraordinary goal. Mission Apolo: BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK is a journey that will inspire athletes and fitness enthusiasts regardless of ability and sport, compelling them to finish strong no matter what goals they seek. We are excited to see what Apolo accomplishes over the next seven months and ultimately how hard he races to the finish line in Kona."
"This program introduces the sport of triathlon to an even larger audience and inspires people to show them that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE," said Andrew Messick, Chief Executive Officer of IRONMAN. "We are excited to see what Apolo is capable of doing. His athletic background, commitment to competition and eagerness to immerse himself in triathlon makes him a great ambassador for our sport. We look forward to welcoming Apolo into the IRONMAN family this October."
Joining Ohno on this journey is Women's Health Fitness Director, Jen Ator, CSCS. An endurance sports novice, Ator will be training with Ohno and chronicling her first-time experience in partnership with the magazine.
"I am inspired by Apolo's legacy and honored to be joining him on Team CHOCOLATE MILK," said Ator. "To cross the most prestigious finish line in endurance sports that so many athletes I admire and respect have crossed before is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity."
At Women's Health, Ator oversees and manages the fitness-related content for the print magazine and online platforms and serves as an expert and talent for the brand's online fitness videos. While Ator has dipped a toe in the water, participating in several shorter races, this will be her first attempt at anything close to an IRONMAN triathlon. She will juggle a hectic work and travel schedule, family commitments and training to show what's possible when you set your mind and heart on building something extraordinary.
A Team That's BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK
While triathlon is considered an individual sport, elite and amateur athletes alike know that behind each athlete's success is a support team; a team that encourages an athlete as he or she puts his or her body to the ultimate test and provides encouragement as he or she attempts to accomplish a life goal. Joining Ohno and Ator is a team that is BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK, including:
• Support Crew: Supporting Ohno and Ator are some of the most respected heavy hitters in the sport of triathlon including coaches; eight-time IRONMAN® World Champion, Paula Newby-Fraser; and three-time IRONMAN World Champion, Craig Alexander. Alexander joined the BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK Campaign on April 1 and is featured in three new ads – two print and one 30-second TV spot – that feature the IRONMAN triathlete's grueling training routine.
• Training Partners: A stacked team including two-time IRONMAN World Champion, Mirinda Carfrae and six-time IRONMAN Champion, Luke McKenzie, who will share training tips and firsthand experience on the importance of post-exercise recovery.
• Nutritionists: Many elite athletes and endurance experts say that the fourth discipline of triathlon is nutrition. There will be a team of sports dietitians consisting of some of the nation's top nutrition experts, Dr. Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, RD, ACSM HFS and Nancy Clark, MS, RD, CSSD, who have both recommended chocolate milk for recovery to athletes for years. They will provide guidelines for overall nutrition and recovery in training and competition throughout the journey.
The Science of Chocolate Milk
More than 20 studies have been done among a variety of athletes, including runners, cyclists and soccer players, which support the advantages of drinking chocolate milk after strenuous exercise. As part of a regular recovery routine, chocolate milk is an ideal way to help athletes refuel, rebuild and reshape muscles after a vigorous workout. In fact, in one recent study, runners ran 23 percent longer in the next run and saw a 38 percent increase in signs of muscle building when they drank fat free chocolate milk after their run, compared to a typical sports drink.
Other research suggests regularly recovering with chocolate milk could help athletes tone up. Milk's high-quality protein has been shown to help athletes gain more lean muscle compared to drinking a carb-only or soy protein beverage; additionally, some athletes lost fat by recovering with lowfat chocolate milk as part of a regular workout and recovery routine, compared to drinking a carb-only beverage. [2,3,4]
Elite athletes, coaches and serious exercisers have long recognized the benefits of lowfat chocolate milk. "Chocolate milk is a 'real food' option that can really make a difference in an athlete's training," said Nancy Clark, MS, RD, CSSD, a noted sports nutrition expert. "This will be a tough journey for Apolo, and recovering with chocolate milk – with the right carb to protein ratio – will be a crucial part of his seven-month training and recovery program." Chocolate milk has high-quality protein to build lean muscle, it has the right mix of protein and carbs to refuel exhausted muscles, plus it has fluids and electrolytes to help replenish the body.

2 Romanian soldiers killed in Afghanistan
September 23, 2013
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — The defense ministry says two Romanian soldiers have died after they stepped on an improvised explosive device during a patrol in eastern Afghanistan.
The ministry said in a statement Monday the two were transported by helicopter to a military hospital at Bagram where they died of their injuries late Sunday.
The soldiers were identified as Vasile Popa, 28, on his second mission to Afghanistan, and Adrian Postelnicu, 34, who was on his first mission.
Defense Minister Mircea Dusa said in televised comments that other soldiers were killed in the explosion but provided no further details.
Romania has 1,029 troops serving in the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Twenty-two have been killed.

Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be very difficult for patients and families. People often experience grief about current and anticipated losses, as well as worry about the progression of their disease and the effects of treatment procedures. Often, they are stressed and unsure about how to manage work, finances, and the thought of experiencing an untimely death.
It is important for patients to learn how to best cope with their cancer diagnosis and treatment. Social support systems provide patients with a place to turn and assistance in maintaining a positive attitude. Many patients do lack these supports. Adjusting to a diagnosis of cancer often brings about feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, self-blame, and anger.
With approximately 1/3 of patients reporting distress during their treatment, it is essential that they have access to mental health services. Maimonides Medical Center recognizes the importance of patients' emotional well-being as much as their physical. For that reason, the Department of Psychiatry offers several types of interventions to patients and their families who receive treatment at Maimonides Cancer Center.
These services include:
Crisis counseling
Psychiatric evaluations and medication management
Individual therapy
Family therapy
Educational interventions, such as coping and relaxation strategies
Psychological assessment
Research has shown that mental health services not only provide improvements in mood, but also coping, energy levels, and pain. The Department of Psychiatry aims to provide patients and their families with compassionate and supportive care during this difficult time of adjustment. Because Maimonides Cancer Center serves such a large and diverse population in the heart of Brooklyn, our staff is very sensitive to our patients' varied ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds.
We encourage all patients to feel comfortable reaching out to our staff and letting us know how we can best meet your emotional needs.

Short & Sweet: Summer Bites
You may be disappointed to hear that I only cover about half of the candy I eat hear on Candy Blog. For some reason I can't always muster a whole review on every candy.
Here are a few of those items that I can at least tell you a little about.
Blood Orange HiCHEW from Morinaga are tasty little taffy-like chews I picked up in Little Tokyo about a month ago.
Like most HiCHEW, they're individually wrapped and come in a single flavor pack. They also have a different color center.
The blood orange flavor wasn't distinctively different from the other orange flavors I've had like Tangerine and Orange. It was juicy and had a nice mix of zest and tang ... but ultimately it wasn't quite as exotic as I'd hoped.
Not that it kept me from finishing the package.
Rating: 7 out of 10
I went to Munchies on Pico a few weeks ago looking for some Israeli candy (reviews to come). I was pleased to find these little Paskesz Nutty Chews which were available in the bulk bins in these little individually wrapped pieces. I thought, How cool! They sound like Goldenberg's Peanut Chews! (They were also available in a "bar format" which held I think five or six of these in a package.)
At about 25 cents each, it was a nice little chewy morsel, a vegan caramel with a good note of molasses with very dark roasted peanuts all covered in a dark mockolate.
After reading the ingredients, and noting that they're made in the United States I've concluded that these ARE simply repackaged Goldenberg's Peanut Chews. sigh
Rating: 8 out of 10 (same as Goldenberg's)
I've been craving butter and sugar ever since my vacation when I started thinking about Bananas Foster. What doesn't help is that Littlejohn Toffee is at the Farmers Market ... walking distance from my office.
So one day I was over there and decided to pick up a couple of their Pecan Pralines for review. They're large puddles over four inches across (shaped in a shallow fluted cup) studded with pecans. Instead of the chewy style of praline, these are the sandy style. The recipe tastes pretty simple, butter, sugar and pecans (though I can't be sure).
They melt in my mouth and the pecan provide a nice chewy, even fattier punch to the whole thing. You'd think it'd be too sweet, but the nuts seem to moderate it. It sandy and crumbly and doesn't even look that good, but it smells like sweet buttery caramel sauce. Something about the texture wins me over.
After my first purchase of them (and failed photo shoot because I had my camera settings wrong) I had to go back and buy another one. And I'm sure it won't be the last - it sounds like they're expensive at $2.50 each, but after having one I'd probably pay double.
Rating: 9 out of 10
This was an impulse purchase at Robitaille's Fine Candies while on vacation.
As you can see, it's a deviled egg ... made of white confection. It was packaged in a tiny plastic bag with a curl of ribbon. No name, no ingredients ... the appearance was really all I needed. (I think I paid $1.85 for it ... more than I think I'd pay for a real deviled egg.)
The egg white is really white, something now found in real white chocolate (and knowing what they put into their Inaugural Mints, I'm going to guess that I've been eating all sorts of partially hydrogenated tropical oils). It's smooth and rather pleasant.
The egg white is sweet, sweet with a touch of fake vanilla. The yolk cream is minted (with a few little nonpariels).
The only issue with the verisimilitude is the half egg doesn't actually have a little depression for the yolk ... small quibble.
The Cafe Society - Candy Girls reviewed a similar version of this made with a crisped rice mixed in, which sounds much better. Of course best would be some really good quality white chocolate ... but I'm still swooning over my LEGOLAND white chocolate blocks and savoring the last few.

Paskesz Milk Munch
I found this bar at a store called Kearn's on Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles. I've passed by this little convenience store for 13 years without ever stopping in. Because it's in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, I thought they might have an interesting selection (and perhaps some leftover Passover Coke). They carried a good line of candies, with a strong focus on jelly based ones (Sunkist Fruit Gems, anyone?). They also had some imported items, especially ones from Israel in the Paskesz brand.
I've had a few Paskesz candies and find them decent middle of the road fare, rather like Hershey's or Mars but with a good wholesome twist on the ordinary crunch.
Looking at the Milk Munch bar it was pretty obvious that it's a Milky Way knock-off (Mars knock-off for your European readers).
The milk chocolate is unremarkable. It's sweet and creamy, but lacks any real chocolate flavor contribution here. The main flavor here is the rather cereal tasting nougat. Salty and perhaps a little malty, it tastes a bit like cookie dough. The caramel is nice and soft, but again, not very flavorful.
I was hoping for a Milky Way Bar here, but I got something a little more toned down but far saltier ... and Milky Ways are pretty sedate as it is. But there was something more dense about the nougat portion that just didn't please me. And at more than the price of a regular Milky Way, it just wasn't worth it.
I tried the Paskesz Klik before and really liked them, read about it here.

Paskesz Klik
There are two things that are great about tasting international candies (well, more than two, but two that I'm going to point out here). The first one is finding new and exciting candy with combinations or ingredients I've never had before. The second one is finding the same thing that we have available here in the States. And you wonder why I find the latter a great thing? It's because it's a confirmation of the universality of candy. Whether it's the same megaglobalcorp making it elsewhere or a spontaneous expression of convergent evolution, it's all a reminder to me that candy is the Great Uniter.
I'm still plowing through the huge box of goodies from Israel, so expect weekly groupings of goodies for at least through February.
These fun little popables are kind of like those Pirouline cookie sticks. They're a little wafer cookie tube covered with chocolate. There are little holes in either end (most of the time) that makes them look like chocolate macaroni that you could string up and wear (and eat!). This is one of those rare instances where the candy shown on the package looked exactly like what was inside. They were glossy milk chocolate that smelled like sweet, milky chocolate. They're also very light since they're crunchy, hollow cookies. That amount of air in there is actually, I think, a good thing as it makes you feel like you're eating more and also allows the flavors and aroma to mix. The chocolate is very sweet but really smooth and a little sticky with a hint of the European style of milk chocolate. The crispy cookie center is airy and with a hint ofcaramelized sugar to give it a little contrast to the vanilla sweetness of the chocolate.
It's easy to just keep eating these. It's such a simple idea, it makes me wonder why we don't have something like this in the States. There's a huge variety in theKlik line, including chocolate corn flakes, which reminds me of the Ritter Sport Knusperflakes.
This sounds like an unlikely bar: Extrafine Milk Chocolate with Cookies and Crunchy Wheat Germ. Let's face it, most of us grow up thinking things like wheat germ are yucky. But think of it like Grape Nuts. In fact, why isn't there a chocolate bar with Grape Nuts? These cookie and wheat germ aren't as big as Grape Nuts but they're very tasty and add more than texture to the bar. The wheat germ has a wonderful malty quality that gives the bar a nutty punch and moderates some of the sweetness. The chocolate here is also the same very sweet but exceptionally smooth milk chocolate.
It's also a really pretty bar. When I opened it up I was pleased to see that it's molded in the shape of a bunch of bubbles. It makes it easy to break off pieces, but they're not little squares, instead they're nice little domes which means more room for crunch.
Even though I don't read/speak Hebrew, I was easily able to pick out the Klik items from the box from Michal. I credit this to the vibrant design and packaging. I know I'm not going to run across these again, but I know I'll recognize them if it does happen.
Note: Israeli Kliks are nothing like the American Kliks which are a candy dispenser similar to Pez but they dispense Smarties ... the American Smarties, not the UK ones ... sigh, it's tough being global.

Over 50 technicians and experts in the conservation of the Alboran Sea, coming from Morocco and Spain, gathered in Malaga from the 19th to the 21rst of June for a Technical Meeting, in the framework of the POCTEFEX-Alboran project. This meeting had been set to analyze the current situation of marine protected areas, cetaceans and marine turtles, integrated coastal zone management and global change in the Alboran Sea.
The experts have discussed the main environmental issues affecting this area of the Mediterranean Sea. They agreed the ecosystem approach and the global change context were key elements for the future sustainability of the region. Amongst the identified environmental problems, they highlighted the changes in the use of the environment, intensive coastal occupation, climate change, maritime transport and pollution.
Marine protected areas have been identified as potentially multifunctional areas which could provide ecosystemic and socioeconomic services useful for conservation management in the Alboran Sea. Therefore, amongst the actions that are to be implemented jointly by both countries, the experts emphasized the necessity of identifying codes of best practices which would show how an efficient conservation management can contribute to the improvement of the socioeconomic activities of the area.
In another workshop of the meeting, the experts gathered information on the research groups and projects of the Alboran Sea related to the conservation status of cetaceans and marine turtles. They brought to light the great volume of available knowledge on this species, particularly on the North coast. They also identified problematic activities which affect them negatively, such as over-fishing, incidental captures, anthropic nuisances and pollution, amongst others. As a joint initiative, the experts proposed the implementation of researches, in particular on the spatial distribution of these species. Finally, they stressed the need to foster collaboration between the stranding networks.
This meeting has also enabled exchange of information on the degree of application of integrated coastal zone management models on both coasts, in accordance with the Protocol of the Barcelona Convention ratified by Spain and Morocco. The experts pointed out that integrated coastal zone management is a very useful instrument for coastal governance and that it requires to be reinforced by the politicians in charge. It also needs to benefit from an enhanced visibility in the civil society, especially regarding its benefits for a sustainable management.
The objective of this Technical Meeting was to help create the conditions for a work network between experts of both coasts and build the scientific bases necessary for the establishment of technical criteria for the conservation of the Alboran Sea.
The event was organized by the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation, in collaboration with the Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Environment of Andalusia, Almeria University and the Fishery Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Maritime Fisheries of Morocco. It was inaugurated by Javier Madrid, the General Director of Environmental Management of the Regional Government of Andalusia, and Antonio Troya, the director of the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation.
The project Alboran is funded by the Program for Cross-border Cooperation Spain – External Borders (POCTEFEX), a European initiative created to enhance cooperation between Spain and Morocco, with the financial support of the European Fund for Economic and Regional Development (FEDER). The project is coordinated by the Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Environment of Andalusia, in partnership with the Almeria-Centre University for the evaluation and the monitoring of global change, and the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation.
The meeting also has had the co-funding of the Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment of Spain.

Polished Face
The Mt. Padbury meteorite was found in 1964 in Western Australia. Mount Padbury is a stony-iron mesosiderite and has been the topic of much scientific research. Like all mesosiderites it is a mixture of metal and silicate minerals. They will feel rather heavy for their size because of the rich amount of iron they contain.

(Reuters) - High-tech equipment, vigilant medical care and perhaps even the time-worn comfort of chicken soup will be on tap to combat Arctic conditions for Sunday's NFL playoff game in Green Bay, Wisconsin, between the Packers and San Francisco 49ers
So says Dr. Matthew J. Matava, head team doctor for the St. Louis Rams and president of the National Football League Physicians Society.
With temperatures expected to drop below zero Fahrenheit (-18 C) accompanied by icy winds during the game, hand and finger fractures, hamstrings and quadriceps, frostbite and dehydration are of particular concern, according to Matava.
Players will wear the latest in fabrics that retain body heat, use chemical heat products in their shoes and gloves and apply petroleum-based products to their faces to protect their skin, the orthopedic surgeon told Reuters in a telephone interview.
More than two dozen medical personnel, including trainers, doctors and chiropracters, will patrol the sidelines to massage and treat players and watch out for possible frostbite.
"One thing we tend to forget about is hydration (on a frigid day)," Matava said.
"You lose a lot of water just through respiration. Your body metabolism is geared up so much in order to maintain your body heat that part of the waste that you expel through your lungs contains water.
"A lot of sidelines will have warm chicken broth available. It tastes good, it's going to be warm and help warm them internally. It contains electrolytes and the sodium chloride (salt) helps replenish electrolytes you lose in sweat."
Bitter cold makes the football harder, putting players that have to handle the ball at greater risk.
"I would be concerned about fractures of the digits," said Matava. "Especially those that catch the ball and run with the ball like receivers, defensive backs and running backs."
Matava said some players put on surgical gloves under their playing gloves to retain warmth.
A frozen playing surface could increase the threat of concussions.
"That makes common sense from sheer physics," acknowledged Matava, although he was not aware of studies on that factor.
"Colder structures tend to be harder and when there is contact there is going to be more risk at transferring that force to whatever body part is struck," he said about hitting one's head against a frozen playing surface.
Joints tend not to react as quickly in cold weather as they do in warm weather and muscles need to stay warm and flexible, he warned.
"It's environments like this that we tend to see tears of the hamstring and strains of the quadriceps muscle, the muscles of the lower extremities for running," said Matava, who said special teams players were at high risk.
"You're taking a warm muscle, it's getting cold again and then jump into duty immediately to run down the field to cover a punt. That's when we see muscle tears and the like."
Fingers, toes, nose and ears are targets of frostbite and players' coloring should be observed, the doctor said, saying skin losing its rosiness is an early sign of possible frostbite.
Players that have asthma need to protect against a possible broncho spasm that could lead to an asthmatic attack and should keep an inhaler available on the sidelines, he added.
Medical staff on hand will include orthopedists, internists, a neurosurgeon on each sideline, primary care doctors, trainers and emergency medical technicians.
"The chiropracters might be very busy because players get muscle cramps because they're running and when the muscles cool down they're more prone to muscle spasms," Matava said.
Matava even had some advice for people attending the game at Lambeau Field.
"The biggest concern we have for fans is keeping your clothes on and watching the amount of alcohol you drink," he said.
"Taking shirts off is great for TV but not advised from a medical standpoint.
"And when you drink, you tend to feel warm at first but your blood vessels are just dilating. When you dilate, you tend to lose heat instead of retain heat. Even though you might get a warm glow, you're actually losing heat in the process."

BERNINA Halloween 2011 -- Baby Wise Owl
Added Oct 23, 2011
by suzeb
New York, New Yo...
I made this owl costume for my three-year-old from fleece, some elastic, a little batting, and a few feathers (plus a pair of glasses with the lenses popped out, and a beak cut from orange paper). It's super cozy and cute, though she won't keep the glasses on for long. I drafted the pattern myself, based on a hooded sweatshirt that fits her well, but I lengthened it into a dress, and put elastic into the bottom to give it a round shape. I quilted the wings a bit to give them some shape and attached them at the shoulder (with elastic to keep them in place on her upper arms). I finished it today, just in time to submit it to the contest!

I have a shader in which i use the texture() function to lookup from a non-existing sampler. I expected that I should get errors from complingmy shader. But it compiles clean.
Code :static const char render_fs[] = "#version 430 core\n" "\n" "layout (location = 0) out vec4 color;\n" "\n" "uniform sampler2D output_image;\n" "\n" "void main(void)\n" "{\n" " color = texture(output_image1, vec2(gl_FragCoord.xy) / vec2(textureSize(output_image, 0)));\n" " if(color.r < 0.0) {color=vec4(1.0,0.0,0.0,1.0);} else{color=vec4(0.0,1.0,0.0,0.0);}\n" "}\n";
Note: I am sampling from output_image1 instead of output_image.output_image1 is an intentional typo.
Also, if it compiles and links cleanly, I would have expected it to go to the else part of the test color.r < 0.0 , since color would be undefined. (Really, I should be getting an error since how on earth can you be trying to access .r from an undefined color. Or am i returning some default value if the texture being sampled is undefined/errornous??)
It appears that I get a white color render instead of erroring out or a green screen ( color assigned from the else part).

No crystal ball needed: Pathé utilizes new software to optimize film scheduling
Let me take you back to 1957, when Nat Taylor, owner and operator of the Elgin Theatre in Ottawa, Canada, became frustrated over having to replace still-profitable films with new releases. For this reason, he opened a second screen and put older releases in the second theatre while keeping new releases in the first one. Deciding which film to play in each screen was probably not a very difficult choice.
Fast-forward to 2013, to a world filled with multiplexes sometime up to 30 screens, and you immediately come to realize that scheduling such a multiplex can be a challenging experience.
So how do programming departments and theatre managers around the world cope with high demand, tight deadlines, resource-intensive film scheduling and programming of large multiplexes? Well, at the moment there is very little help they can use. Instead they have to work long hours, most often on the weekends, and use complex Excel files that leave very little time for in-depth analysis of film performance for each theatre location. Most programming departments play one or two feature films per auditorium throughout the day, play the same schedule every day of the week, and struggle to meet the film distributors' demands at the same time.
The digitalization of all theatre screens means that programming restrictions imposed by 35mm films are no longer there. One no longer needs to carry rolls of film from one projection booth to another or plan for complex interlocks; the theatre management systems and DCPs take care of that with a click of a button. However, film scheduling, forecasting and programming is still a manual process associated with programmer's intuition rather than data-driven analysis.
The software development team at Share Dimension has worked for the past years with Pathé, the largest cinema chain in the Netherlands, to develop Cinema Scheduler, new software with forecasting ability. Yes, you read it right: software that can forecast what the best showtimes are.
Smart software
Cinema Scheduler generates daily or weekly film schedules in agreement with all cinema and distributor constraints. The sophisticated algorithm combines advanced forecasting based on historical box office with state-of-the-art scheduling technology. It integrates with leading ticketing systems and provides automated schedules that maximize cinema attendance.
Cinema Scheduler uses a set of intelligent, scientific rules and algorithms that can identify the best results after analyzing past shows and theatre information. The software uses historical information (What were the exact admissions for the last play week?) and actual information to forecast how each film will perform in the coming week.
Of course, all the information on films and theatres is used as well. Without knowing the film length, you could not do that. For a certain genre (for example, family films), the software learns that one showtime is better than another. But what if the software can also tell you how much time is needed to clean the auditorium?
Until now, maybe it hasn't been rocket science. But it really becomes interesting when Cinema Scheduler also uses the times of the local public transport (When does the last bus leave for each location?) in its calculations, or local events such as music concerts or football games (Does Ajax Amsterdam play at home?), or even weather information.
Our intense cooperation with Pathé does not mean that other exhibitors are being pushed away. There are at this moment seven or eight different exhibitors all over the world who are extremely interested in our solution.
Centered around the programmer
Cinema Scheduler, which once started as an academic pursuit, has for the past five years transformed from a custom-made project developed with Pathé to a full-blown software application. There is a clear need for the film programmer in the scheduling process. Cinema Scheduler helps with the process, and the work becomes much more efficient when man and machine work together.
Taylor's idea, back in 1957, to put older releases on a second screen was the first time a choice was offered at a North American cinema box office, and Taylor is credited as the inventor of the multiplex.
The cinema industry needs to serve the demand of today's moviegoer and always improve the moviegoing experience. Getting the best showtime for each of your films is part of that, so enhance your film programming with advance cinema scheduling and capitalize on the opportunities that have arisen in the new digital era.

I'll start.
Sitting at home tonight waiting for the Great Blizzard of 2009. So far, not a flake. Very cold, no snow. No sense going out to the movies, so I'll stay in tonight and put Casablanca in the DVD player. My favorite movie. I'm watching it again because I don't get the NFL Network and can't watch the undefeated Saints. With most of the mid-Atlantic snowbound, it would have been a nice Christmas present.
I've never been a fan of the vanity networks. The NFL, in particular, has milked billions from the networks, and by extension the public. Does it really need a network of its own? I'm just waiting for the day when the NFL will put its playoff games on its own network. It has to be coming soon.
Well, that's on my mind right now. If you want to comment on it, feel free. If you want to comment on the something about the Mets that hasn't been mentioned, go there. Football? Fine. The Knicks or Celtics? Sure.
Politics? I wish you wouldn't for obvious reasons.
I like the idea of giving you guys a forum. I just haven't figured out the best way to do it when it's not about the Mets.
I'll have something for you in the morning, and later tonight if the Mets do something.

Would like to see a monkey in the design but would be willing to consider a design without monkey. Willing to consider heavy to minimal emphasis on the monkey. If you incorporate a monkey it does not have to be brown. Hope the look is engaging and conveys helpfulness.
Have thought of ideas the have the two zeros in 600 be glasses for the monkey.
Retail, home computer user is primary focus.
VERY small business is a secondary focus.
No focus on Mid to large business size.
Iconic version of a monkey is the look I think we want, First thought is that we don't want to fall on the side of too cartoon like. I can't imagine a Curious George look-a-like that would make the cut.
I do like what I refer to as an iconic rendition noted in the

I agree about colours clashing with food, but I prefer coloured to plain glass, except when it's textured glass. :roll: So how about a coloured rim or a bit of colour somewhere, just not too much so it distracts from what's in the dishes? Leni
Divided dishes are good, but they tend to be either oval or oblong - boring! :roll: How about a different shape? Leni

Oh wait, you use 3D modeling then go to vector art with it?
My name, as one might guess is Kriss and at the moment I am 17 years old. Quite passionate for all things visual, and if digital - even more! Been using Blender for 2 years now, learning something new every two days. I'm also into poster design (via Inkscape and Photoshop) and a bit of street-art (via posters) as well.. :P Don't be a stranger..
Oh wait, you use 3D modeling then go to vector art with it?

Voting Procedure
There are three phases to the election process. They are:
1) Pre-Scrutiny, during which ballots are prepared and distributed.
2) Scrutiny, during which the ballots are collected and counted.
3) Post-Scrutiny, during which the ballots are counted, checked and burned.
1. Pre-Scrutiny
During the Pre-Scrutiny the ballots are prepared and distributed, and, 9 Electors are chosen by lot to serve as 3 Scrutineers, 3 Infirmarii and 3 Revisers.
2. Scrutiny
After all ballots are in, including those brought from the sick by the Infirmarii, the 1st Scrutineer shakes the receptacle several times to mix the ballots. Then the 3rd Scrutineer counts them, placing them in a second, empty, receptacle. If the number of ballots does not equal the number of electors, they are burned, and a second vote taken immediately. Otherwise, the Scrutineers proceed to tabulate the vote.
Sitting at a table in front of the altar, the 1st Scrutineer silently reads the name on a ballot, passes it to the 2nd Scrutineer who does likewise, and then passes it to the 3rd Scrutineer, who reads the name aloud and then writes it down. Each Elector also writes it down on a sheet provided for this purpose. The ballot is then pierced with a needle through the word eligo (I elect) and placed on a thread for security.
When all ballots have been read the ends of the thread are tied in a knot and the ballots are placed in a receptacle on one end of the table.
3. Post-Scrutiny
The Scrutineers tabulate the vote count they recorded by individuals receiving votes. They do this on a separate sheet of paper from that on which the vote count was first made. The Revisers then verify the results.
Next: Special Provisions
Back: Entry into the Conclave

Leading to Change in Your Organization
Like the results of a temperature check or a blood test, your answers to key talent questions are important indicators of your workplace health. But which questions lead to the most critical vital signs? And how can you use the answers—your vital signs—to determine where you are doing well and diagnose and treat any talent issues?
Chock full of key questions, step-by-step directions, compelling and customizable visuals, and leading practices, Vital Signs is a unique and focused approach to strengthening and diversifying your talent pipeline.
Making it Easy to Get to Insight: The Vital Signs Toolkit
Many organizations are ready to diversify their talent pipeline, yet are unsure what to pay attention to or where to start. Other organizations feel like they are drowning in data, with lots of reports but no meaningful picture of what's going on with talent and why. We've designed Vital Signs for both.
By asking the right questions, some dependent on workforce data for answers and others not, a clearer picture of your talent emerges, sparking often surprising insights into your organization's opportunities to become more inclusive and diverse. Grounded in Catalyst research and consulting experience, the Vital Signs toolkit helps you evaluate your talent decisions or tell the story of your talent pipeline using workforce data.
Need advice on where or how to start? See our "Navigation Map" based on common challenges, or the Guide to Telling Your Story With Data, which outlines the steps to take to develop a meaningful story from your workforce data, and summarizes key workforce data insights from the Vital Signs: Using Your Data to Close the Gaps tool.
How to Do a Key Metrics Comparison
This two-minute video shows you one way to put your data together to identify gaps more easily and for impact with stakeholders.
This one-minute audio clip contains a sponsorship exercise one Catalyst supporter used for impacting its talent pipeline.
