Riverine environments like the Hudson present certain challenges to photosynthetic organisms (Cloern, 1987; Alpine and Cloern, 1988). The water column of the tidal-freshwater Hudson is well mixed and turbid. The suspended particles absorb light; the full water-column mixing ensures that organisms suspended in the water are rarely in the surface where light is highest (Fig. 9.1). At the average depth (9 m) and light penetration for the Hudson, the average phytoplankton spends from 18 to 22 hours in light too dim for net positive photosynthesis to proceed (Cole et al., 1992). The situation differs in the saline parts of the estuary and harbor where the water column is stratified, at least some of the time, leading to shallower mixing depths (Swaney, Howarth, and Butler, 1999), and concomitantly higher rates of primary production (Chapter 10). Nevertheless, low light is still a major growth-limiting factor in the lower estuary as well (Garside et al., 1976; Malone, 1977).
Attached to the bottom, macrophytes and peri-phyton are restricted to extremely shallow water (< 1 m) due to low light. On the other hand, these attached plants are less affected by advective loss than are phytoplankton. While the net freshwater flowoftheHudsonisnotveryrapid, photosynthesis of suspended organisms needs to exceed the advec-tive losses if biomass is to increase at a given site. During the growing season a typical residence time for water in the tidal-freshwater river is about 30 to 50 d, or 2 to 3 percent per day. To simply sustain biomass at a given location then, net growth, after respiratory and predatory losses are subtracted, must be at least this large.
In many aquatic environments the supply of essential nutrients for plant growth, typically phosphorus (P) or nitrogen (N), and some trace metals (iron, selenium e, etc.) limits the net growth of phytoplankton. In some rivers and most estuaries, since trace metals are generally high, N and P are the likely limiting nutrients (Howarth, 1988; Fisher et al., 1992). Such is not the case in the Hudson. In the tidal-freshwater river, for example, NH4 depletes from winter values near 10 |M to fairly low values in mid summer (~2 |M). NO3 varies seasonally between wintertime highs of near 50 |M and summertime "lows" above 30 |M. PO4 values are lowest in spring (0.4 to 0.5 |M) and increase in late summer (at the peak of phytoplankton biomass) to as much as 0.8 to 1 |M (Fig. 9.2; Lampman, Caraco, and Cole, 1999). If either PO4 or NO3 were limiting one would expect a negative correlation with phytoplankton biomass, which is not seen at all in the Hudson.

Tamara's Take
Batman is awesome. There's no doubt about it, and "The LEGO Batman Movie" will never let you forget that. He has nine-pack abs, an army of super-cool rides, a tricked-out batcave and a signal Gotham City uses to summon him to duty. But the Caped Crusader is a loner; he works alone and lives alone except with his trusted butler Alfred. But this take on the classic comic book hero shakes off the darkness brick by brick with a bit of everything of those young and old.
The animated action-comedy starts off with a lot of the shtick that made 2014's "The LEGO Movie" so successful – with Batman (voiced by Will Arnett) matter-of-factly saving Gotham from doom as the Joker (Zach Galifianakis) and his merry band of villains. But that's where it changes – Batman admits that the Joker is not his biggest enemy. In fact, Batman has absolutely no one to hate or love.
Rebecca's Take
Holy LEGO bricks, Batman! "The LEGO Batman Movie" constructs a fun follow-up to 2014's breakout hit, "The LEGO Movie." It's awesome, but not quite as awesome as the original.
However, the animated film makes a surprisingly good Batman movie, delving deep behind the cowl of one of the most popular superheroes of all time.
"The LEGO Batman Movie" is built around the original's standout character, LEGO Batman, the vigilante voiced to gravelly perfection by Will Arnett. When Batman once again saves Gotham City from its many villains, the Joker (Zach Galifianakis) pushes the Caped Crusader to admit that the Clown Prince is his biggest nemesis. But Batman refuses to acknowledge this, proclaiming he doesn't care about anyone. He prefers to work alone, even refusing to team up with Gotham City's tough new police commissioner, the strong-willed Barbara Gordon (Rosario Dawson).

Created and written by Mayamada
Illustrated by Pinali (A L Jones)
Edited by Lara-Lee Green
The Mayamada Comic line is a story-based brand inspired by anime-manga, founded in London by Nigel Twumasi and Lao K. The world of Mayamada is a Fantasy Television network which hosts several shows, including Samurai Chef. The TV programme of Samurai Chef involves several kitchens from around the world, competing against each other by creating a number of mouth watering dishes, which have to be judge by the resident Samurai Chef. You might think this is a normal cooking show, however, with each new competitor the stakes are pushed to their limits as chef's realise that their dishes do not only have to taste good but they also have to put up a good fight against the Samurai Chef. Yes, you read that right. The prepared food has to be able to fight.
Samurai Chef is an action comic, which is quite entertaining. Each new challenger brings a new element of surprise to the fight. Cooking different dishes each time increasing the complexity and challenge to the Samurai Chef. The concept of a cooking show with a twist is a very appealing one and the fact that this is framed in the form of a TV show makes me wonder what other TV shows are hosted by the Mayamada Network.
The artly used in this book is similar to other manga titles for kids, which makes it easy to follow and very reminiscent of a TV cartoon. As a result, the action sequences benefit quite a lot with all the moving and jumping in the arena. The reader can easily follow the action and keep up to speed with the Chef's maneuvers.
Samurai Chef is an easy read and especially appealing to young kids. I really enjoyed reading this story and I look forward for a season 2 of Samurai Chef, maybe with bigger challenges, different types of cuisines and a change of studio perhaps?

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'BigSoccer Polls' started by Daniel96, Jan 16, 2012.
It was actually an improvement over 2010.
It's not so surprising if you think that messi plays in (probably) the best team in the History. Never a team has won 6 Titles of 6 possible.
This team has broken almost all the records in football. FC Barcelona used a style of game, like Pep Guardiola Says: "I have the ball, I pass the ball". It seems easy, but with this style of game, FC Barcelona it's able to Smash All Rivals.
If you have this spectacular team, and Lionel Messi is the Insignia, it's not so surprising his three Golden Balls.
pele far better..he has showed his talent in several teams..but messi only performs with barca..
What are we even discussing? Messi was invisible on Wednesday and added almost nothing to the team and Real Madrid was still beaten to a pulp! Given how poorly Argentina has been doing lately with Messi it seems to be more about Barca and less about Messi being so good.
Ronaldo is not even top ten of all time.
pele had an effect on the team something zidane also had or maradona. zidane may not have been flashy infact i consider him the less flashiest when you compare him to other player like pele or even french platini. but zidane knew how to carry a team motivate through inspiration direct. he used what he had to his advantage
stats and awards arent the only measurements in football. factor in the ability to read the game, control the game, inspire players, the ability to adapt to a new environment (that is leagues or different players who you player against or with). character( by that i mean how a player recovers from injuries, losses failures, defeats) <- some players experience this and never are the same
Completely agree with this...Messi needs to lift Argentina into greatness to be considered in the top ten of all time. Anything short of that will not suffice.
Just provided the match-winner assist, not to shabby for having less impact than all the other 13 games against Madrid.
This argument is been used to death. Even if Messi brings his "A" game to the field in every game for Argentina, they'll never win anything if the other players in the team keep playing the way they play actually.
Pele always had other great players in his team that played to their potentials when it was expected of them. Zidane had other excellent players in the team that played their role when it was required, and we can go on with the examples.
Do you often watch the argentine team play??? if yes, do you recognize the Aguero, Di Maria, Tevez, etc.. you see when watching them play for their clubs??? The fact that Messi's constantly the best Argentine player on the field whenever they play and even when he doesn't perform necessarily well, tells you all you need to know about how his other team mates perform for Argentina. And let's not even talk about their defence...
The game of football can't be won by one individual, even as the star of the team, the other players have to "play their roles" too a certain extent for victory to be achieved.
And why do people purposely ignore the fact that he plays the playmaker role for Argentina??? Because if you judge him like you judge any other play maker, you'll notice that almost every thing they create going foward comes from him. Doesn't that mean he's doing what he's supposed to do???
Well, Maradona did win it with much lesser teammates in WC86, but I don't expect Messi to reach Maradona's or Pele's level ever in fact.
How many times did his goals give barca the advantage last season even with them having all the possessions last season? uncountable times. And it's the same this season. Even for him being invicible on wednesday, i guess we'll never know how the match would have ended if he didn't appear to lay the pass for Abidal's goal.
was it Maradonna against 11 other players on the field??? NO
His other "average" team mates (as you are suggesting) steped up and "played their role" like they were supposed to.
They played their role indeed but they were hard-working squad players, take Maradona out of that team, replace him with just about anyone and Uruguay takes them out at the eighthfinals stage.
was it Maradonna against 11 other players on the field??? NO
His other "average" team mates (as you are suggesting) steped up and "played their role" like they were supposed to. And i'm glad you didn't disagree with my arguments as a whole...lol
Argentina team is talented as well there players play in the top clubs in europe so that excuse is not enough.. they have been mismanaged but which generation of football hasnt? zidane with their coach in 2006 WC is recent example.
messi wins handsdown
anyone see his hat trick today?
Pele must have been mad.
zidane is nothing compared to messi
2014, messi will lead argentina to wC glory in brazil! will be the ultimate humiliation
Messi better
This al comes down to the same discussion. Untill mess gets as many world cups goals and plays as good as pele did through his career you can't compare. Messi is the best now but who knows maybe in 3 years or less he won't be.
However says Messi or is either stupid or starting watching football 5 years ago
Pele 3 world cups, end of story
P.S : Messi is shit with Argentina... As we say in the Rio de la Plata ''MesSIN HUEVOS''
Messi will defiently be in the TOP 5 Of All Time, but in my opinion Pele is #1.
Messi is around the same level as Ronaldo 9, Cruyff and Maradona, but Pele is on a level of his own.
In 10 years time
1. Pele
2. Maradona
3. Ronaldo 9 (Messi if he plays very good for Argentina since he wont win a World Cup, or Neymar if he wins a World Cup since he has a chance.)
4. Cruyff (Messi if he doesnt play good for Argentina)
u might be biased but say what 4 of them played for us.
Exactly. Messi is nowhere near Pelé's or Maradona's level.
Some people are completely clueless and embarrass themselves which such ridiculous statements.

What Are Psycho-educational Assessments?
Psycho-educational assessment is an umbrella term which may encompasses various different types of assessments which are undertaken for different reasons.
These assessments are most often recommended by teachers, and may include school-readiness assessments, barriers-to-learning assessments, assessments needed in the application to schools and education departments for concessions / accommodations, subject choice & career choice assessments.
More often than not teachers recommend assessments to establish whether barriers to learning may be present. Barriers to learning refer to anything that may be preventing children from achieving to their potential.
As such, it includes learning difficulties such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADD / ADHD, etc but is a much broader term in that it may also include emotional difficulties.
Why Does My Child Need to be Assessed?
Psycho-educational assessments are required in any of the following cases:
- To determine whether a child will be able to cope with the demands of formal schooling (school ready)
- To determine why a child is struggling at school (screening for barriers to learning) and how best to help the child
- In application for a concession (such as extra time during the exams, oral exams, etc)
- To help teenagers and young adults make decisions with regards to subject choices and career choices
What are the Different Types of Assessments?
The types of tests used during an assessment will vary from psychologist to psychologist and will also depend on the reason for the assessment.
Most types of psycho-educational assessments include an Aptitude assessment (IQ test). If appropriate a battery of scholastic tests are also employed both to measure and to analyse reading, writing, spelling and mathematical ability. Visual and Auditory perception is tested and with young children mastery of specified concepts (shapes, colours, etc) upon which later learning will build is assessed.
Most assessments include an emotional screening to determine what is happening in the emotional and social context in which the child functions. Career choice and subject choice assessments also include a test of interest as well as a personality test.
The tests used are usually standardised, which means that the child's performance can be compared to that of other children his or her age.
Benefits of Educational Assessments
Many parents worry that getting a psycho-educational assessment means there is something wrong with their child. This is a myth, plain and simple.
A psycho-educational assessment is a way to determine your child's strengths and weaknesses in many different areas. Not only are these insights empowering but also act as a roadmap for ensuring your child learns and develops to their full potential.
Knowing which natural strengths you should help your child to develop is important to improving their happiness and quality of life in the future.
Additional key benefits of psycho-educational assessments are:
- Setting realistic academic expectations according to your child's strengths and relative weaknesses or challenges
- Identifying what strategies, tools, and resources will maximize their learning
- Determining the most effective academic environment and study strategies for their individual learning style.
How Long Do They Take?
Test times will vary depending on the tests used, the child's work speed and each psychologist method of assessment. Usually a good portion of the day needs to be set aside for each test.
Contact each Educational Psychologist for more information when booking.
What Do They Cost?
Fees differ for each professional and type of assessment. For more information please visit our fees page.

How to Recruit Board Members?April 3, 2014
Attracting and engaging Board members should involve just as much art and science as you'd invest when recruiting your best fit paid employees! Yet I see a number of Boards recruit members with little thought as to what expertise they offer, how they'll add measurable value and/or how they'll fit the culture of a particular organization.
A process could include, but is not limited to:
Define your Board model on the operational-governance spectrum; prospects want to know how hands on or strategic they'll be.
- Profile your ideal Board member; prospects want to know what Knowledge, Skills and Experience you need and want, e.g. how actively involved will they be in Fund Development?
- Keep the Role and Responsibilities document for Board members up to date; prospects want to know their full scope and autonomy.
- Summarize the role of any sub-Committees of your Board; prospects want to know their total time commitment each month beyond attending a meeting.
- Lay out clear Expectations for all Board members; prospects want to know what you expect from each person and the group.
- Indicate measurable Outcomes for the Board; prospects want to know how they'll be held accountable, both individually and collectively.
- Recruit new Board members as strategically as you would paid staff using an administratively fair process…which includes comprehensive reference checks. For example, what are the actual and perceived risks to your image and brand when you consider a prospect who has been disciplined by his or her professional association? What about one who is in the same business as you are and may be competing for similar funding and/or clients?
- Orient or On-Board new Board members; prospects want to be positioned for success.
- Provide on-going Training and Development to all Board members; information reinforces confidence and competence.
- Evaluate Performance; be willing to tackle concerns or issues on a timely basis.
- Ensure that Turnover is paced so you retain intellectual capital long enough to realize a reasonable return on investment while introducing an infusion of fresh new ideas; be clear about the term of the initial appointment (e.g. 2-3 years) and how many extensions are possible (e.g. 1 extension for a maximum of 4-6 years)
- Ensure a Feedback mechanism for all Board members; everyone needs and wants to be heard.
- Recognize what each person contributes to your organization's success; ensure that the recognition will be meaningful for and tailored to each individual.
An excellent plain language reference document is the Certified General Accountants of Ontario's "Grassroots Governance: governance and the non-profit sector" which is available on-line.
You may meet a potential new Board member at a cocktail party but invest time in due diligence to confirm it's the best fit for everyone. That means more than a handshake over a glass of wine!

From overfilling their books with blah, blah, blahs (AKA needless, contrived details) to forcing us to choose yet another team in the dreaded love triangle (#teamlogan—alright, that's Veronica Mars, but still), authors LOVE to get up to their shenanigans.
But for some reason we keep coming back for more. We keep buying books and we keep reading them.
Is it because we are gluttons for punishment? Is it because we just don't know when to throw in the towel? Is it because we secretly love to be pissed off?
Nope, it's none of those things (okay, well maybe it's a little bit those things). The real reason we turn again and again to books as a means of escape is that for every habit an author may have that bugs the shit out of us, they have that thing they do that drives us crazy…but in a totally good way.
Yep, you got it: we're talking about the tropes that we love and can't get enough of. And boy, there are A LOT of them. So to all you writers out there, current or potential, take note: if you want to win the heart of a MacHalo, here's a few ways to do it.
1.Surrender your women: The old "Mars needs Women" trope
Yes, I know. Our dearest Abby has already hit on this point, but I thought I'd say it again just so we're clear: we love us some alien sexy times. Like love, love it.
Take a hulky, hunky alien (I personally think the more alien he is the better…but that's just my preference) and send him to Earth to seek a suitable mate because the viability of his very species depends on it. Let him stalk her, then abduct her, then tell her she's his chosen one. Then let him set about seducing her by any means necessary: vibrating tongues, secret tentacles, ridged peens, whatever it takes to get the job done (but also make sure they realize in the process that they can't live without each other!)
Ah, man. Good stuff.
I also personally enjoy a good "human stranded on an unknown alien planet" trope. You know the one, where the h and H have absolutely nothing in common, including language, but now they must learn to communicate with each other in order to survive.
Do you know what language is universal?
Body language. Bow chicka wow wow.
Some books we'd recommend that feature some hot alien on human action are:
Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon. This series basically hits all our alien trope needs and is definitely a group favorite. If you have not heard of it, what rock have you been living under? And if you have not read the first installment, what are you waiting for?
Abducted by Evangeline Anderson. Our very own Shelly rated it 5 stars (and she has impeccable alien smut tastes.)
2.Dude looks like a lady! Uh, that's because she is: the "Cross-dressing" trope
We know that women are capable of all sorts of things: cleaning, cooking, sewing, birthing babies, just to name a few.
Wait! Don't shoot! I'm making a point!
Now what if I told you that women are capable of sooooo much more? Would you believe me? Well, there are some societies (fictional and real) that just don't get it. They don't understand how a woman could be anything other than a wife, mother, and/or helpmate. Don't get me wrong, I totally support a woman's CHOICE to be those things, but I don't support an ideology that decrees she HAS to be only those things. In other cases, women are meant to be seen but never heard, and their only purpose is to serve their lord, husband, master, whatever. Now this, I never condone.
That's why we love it so much when a woman rebels against this philosophy, even if she has to dress like a man to do it. We love the thrill of knowing that she is getting the better of every man she meets. We love knowing that the person who is keeping up with the boys, who has put herself in their world and been deemed equal, is missing that little penile projection that the men find so necessary for equality. We love it even more when, disguised a boy, she meets a man that learns to value her for her, not for what she can do for him. Gets us every time.
The "cross-dressing" trope kind of falls into the bigger "mistaken identity" trope, which we also dig. There's one book in particular that I loved for this trope (though, in all honesty it wasn't too hard to figure out), but I can't recommend because **SPOILERS**! Let's just say we love when there's a secret a figure out, and watching it unravel on page is tantalizing.
If you're interested, here's a couple of titles that we recommend:
Rebel of the Sands (Book #1 Rebel of the Sands) by Alwyn Hamilton. This is the first book in a YA fantasy series that both Shelly and I adored.
Ship of Magic (Book #1 of Liveship Traders) by Robin Hobb. This one is a little different. It's the first in an epic fantasy trilogy. While there is a potential love story simmering under the surface, one you hope will happen, it's still in the process of being built.
And, just for good measure, one for mistaken identity:
Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt. A good pick if you enjoy historical romances, which (shhhhh!) I do.
3.I love how much I hate you, errr, I mean I hate how much I love you: the "Haters to Lovers" trope.
This one is so much fun to experience, seriously. You have this super hot alpha douchebag (usually) who reeks of sensuality and sexuality and dominance (hopefully) and you just know that he blows fucking minds in bed, but….he's a super hot alpha douchebag. We HATE him, or rather our girl hates him and we gotta stick by our girl. He's haughty and arrogant and he does that thing that drives her/us crazy. We know, as readers, the second he appears on the page that it's going to be a very sexually charged, tension filled ride, and we're going to love every friggin second of it. Watching as their heated barbs and blows turn to passion of a more sexual nature gets us feeling all funny in our womanly places.
"Friends to Lovers" is another we bandied about. I'm mentioning it here because the dynamics are similar. They've known each other forever, you know they are perfect for one another, one of them knows it too, if only the other person could see it as clearly. There's usually a lot of tension with unspoken feelings and a catalyst that pushes one over the edge. It gets you right in the feels as you watch the oblivious one finally realize they were meant to be together.
Here are our picks for this group favorite:
Darkfever (Fever#1) by Karen Marie Moning. This should go without saying. What kind of MacHalo groupies would we be if this didn't make the list? If you haven't read this yet, what the frack is the matter with you? Read it already!
Big Rock by Lauren Blakely Now this one is a good choice for a look at the "friends to lover" trope. You know, for research. Plus I never get tired of looking at that book cover. Drools.
4.He's never been the settling kind…until you: the "Reformed Rake"
Any self respecting historical romance aficionado will tell you that a reformed rake is the absolute best. He's the broodingly dark bad boy of the ballroom, the one who has lived through a dozen duels and whose second home is the gaming hell. He drinks too much, he swears in front of ladies, and if the tales are true, he's a master in the bedroom and no single woman will ever satisfy him. He's a confirmed bachelor, through and through. Until he meets the one he'd give it all up for. Swoon. Get ready to catch us as we fall all over this. We especially like to see this used in conjunction with the "wallflower" trope. It's like crack for the soul.
Of course, this same trope can also be used in a contemporary setting. We're not super picky. If an author can make it work, we will buy the shit out of it.
You can find this trope is some form in nearly all historical romances, but some of our favorite former rakes can be found here:
Devil in Winter (Wallflowers #3) by Lisa Kleypas. Not only does this one meet the "reformed rake" trope, but said rake is brought down by a wallflower. Our squee meter doesn't register much higher than that.
On Dublin Street (On Dublin Street #1) by Samantha Young If you're looking for something more contemporary, anything written by someone named Samantha is bound to be awesome, right? I'm not biased. Nope. Not. At. All.
5.We're not kids anymore: The "Brother's Best Friend" trope
Now, full disclosure: I don't have a lot of experience with this trope, but I can totally see how this would be one that gets the heart going all pitter patter (that's a thing people say still, right?) If you had an older brother growing up, odds are you had a crush on his best friend. He was the cooler, older guy that you got to see behind the scenes. You two developed a close rapport. I mean, you are his best friend's sister. You shared laughs and maybe some accidental touches. Of course, you were basically his kid sister too, so he never looked at you like that, right?
Fast forward ten years. What happens when you both grow up? I'm sure he's hot, successful, and still utterly charming with a soft spot for his surrogate sis. But here's the truth of the matter: you're not his sister and you're definitely not a kid anymore. The only question left to answer is:
What are you going to do about it?
Yep, I can totally see how this works. I already feel invested in this completely fictionalized couple now residing in my head. See her, damn it!
And just so I don't steer you wrong on a recommendation, Abby was kind enough to provide one:
Seven Years by Dannika Dark. Of course, the synopsis doesn't really sound like my made up scenario but I'm sure the heart of it is there.
Which brings me to my honorable mention category:
Ragtag Group or Band if Misfits
If you have not seen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, get your ass in gear and go!
I'm adding this as a "bonus" mainly because I recently watch Guardians Vol. 2 and loved it AND it wasn't on our original list AND it has nothing to do with lurve and romance. I mean, I guess it could, but it doesn't have to. Who doesn't love a good motley crew with interesting eccentricities? Take the socially awkward, absentminded genius, add in a gruff and misunderstood lug who is magic in the kitchen, throw in someone who borders on psychotic when you get on their bad side, and don't forget to include the female mechanic (because that in itself is an oddity?), and then have this group led by the "down on my luck but I know a big score is just around the corner" charismatic and slightly narcissistic leader. It doesn't have to be this exact set-up, but you get my drift. This is a group you just know is destined for some epic, kick-ass adventures. Take me with you!
Some suggestion for this trope include:
The Palace By (Rogues of the Republic #1) by Patrick Weekes Think a bank heist with a band of misfits done fantasy style.
The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (Wayfarers #1) by Becky Chambers Features one of my favorite ragtag groups: a space crew!
So, there it is folks, five of our group's favorite tropes (plus a bonus!) I found it pretty telling. Upon reviewing all of the suggestions there seemed to be one common element: romance. The MacHalos may seem like group of stabby crazies, but deep down we're just a bunch of softies (except for our magnanimous group Daddy-she really will murder someone with her horde of crustacean assassins if one were to attempt to suggest such a thing.) We want to see our h and H fall in love and get their HEA, but no "boy/girl meet cute" will do.
Make it interesting.
Make dangerous and dark.
Make it worth it.
Do you have a favorite trope we didn't mention? Maybe another book rec? We'd love to hear from you!
(NOTE: I do realize most of these tropes also work with the genders reversed or can be applied to M/M or F/F. For the sake of brevity, I only used the tropes as they applied to my reading preferences, not to intentionally discount others!)

- FGA procedure cancellation rate due to inadequate bowel preparation 1.5%
- FGA polyp detection rate ( all procedures) 58%
- FGA compliance with recommendations for a repeat colonoscopy 10 years after a negative examination 100%
What makes a High-Quality Colonoscopy?
This information was developed by the Publications Committee of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). For more information about ASGE, visit www.asge.org.
This information is intended only to provide general guidance. It does not provide definitive medical advice. It is important that you consult your doctor about your specific condition.
What is ERCP?
Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography, or ERCP, is a specialized technique used to study the bile ducts, pancreatic duct and gallbladder. Ducts are drainage routes; the drainage channels from the liver are called bile or biliary ducts. The pancreatic duct is the drainage channel from the pancreas.
How is ERCP performed?
During ERCP, your doctor will pass an endoscope through your mouth, esophagus and stomach into the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). An endoscope is a thin, flexible tube that lets your doctor see inside your bowels. After your doctor sees the common opening to the ducts from the liver and pancreas, called the major duodenal papilla, your doctor will pass a narrow plastic tube called a catheter through the endoscope and into the ducts. Your doctor will inject a contrast material (dye) into the pancreatic or biliary ducts and will take X-rays.
What preparation is required?
You should fast for at least six hours (and preferably overnight) before the procedure to make sure you have an empty stomach, which is necessary for the best examination. Your doctor will give you precise instructions about how to prepare. You should talk to your doctor about medications you take regularly and any allergies you have to medications or to intravenous contrast material (dye). Although an allergy doesn't prevent you from having ERCP, it's important to discuss it with your doctor prior to the procedure, as you may require specific allergy medications before the ERCP. Inform your doctor about medications you're taking, particularly aspirin products, arthritis medications, anticoagulants (blood thinners, such as warfarin or heparin), clopidogrel or insulin. Also, be sure to tell your doctor if you have heart or lung conditions or other major diseases which might prevent or impact the decision to conduct endoscopy.
What can I expect during ERCP?
Your doctor might apply a local anesthetic to your throat and/or give you a sedative to make you more comfortable. Your doctor might even ask an anesthesiologist to administer sedation if your procedure is complex or lengthy. Some patients also receive antibiotics before the procedure. You will lie on your abdomen on an X-ray table. The instrument does not interfere with breathing, but you might feel a bloating sensation because of the air introduced through the instrument.
What are possible complications of ERCP?
ERCP is a well-tolerated procedure when performed by doctors who are specially trained and experienced in the technique. Although complications requiring hospitalization can occur, they are uncommon. Complications can include pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), infections, bowel perforation and bleeding. Some patients can have an adverse reaction to the sedative used. Sometimes the procedure cannot be completed for technical reasons. Risks vary, depending on why the test is performed, what is found during the procedure, what therapeutic intervention is undertaken and whether a patient has major medical problems. Patients undergoing therapeutic ERCP, such as for stone removal, face a higher risk of complications than patients undergoing diagnostic ERCP. Your doctor will discuss your likelihood of complications with you before you undergo the test.
What can I expect after ERCP?
If you have ERCP as an outpatient, you will be observed for complications until most of the effects of the medications have worn off before being sent home. You might experience bloating or pass gas because of the air introduced during the examination. You can resume your usual diet unless you are instructed otherwise. Someone must accompany you home from the procedure because of the sedatives used during the examination. Even if you feel alert after the procedure, the sedatives can affect your judgment and reflexes for the rest of the day.

I love cheese. I love tomatoes. I love cheese and tomatoes for lunch.
This is one of my all time favourite lunches for when I just can't be bothered to cook properly. There's nothing better than juicy vine ripened cherry tomatoes and a lovely big hunk of creamy feta cheese.
The feta in this shot is an organic one from the deli that's a combination of both sheep and goats milk. It has a gentle salty flavour and a nice crumbly texture. Delicious.
One of the most important elements for this lunch to work is to have the best quality olive oil you can afford. This is crucial for dipping your bread into and really makes you feel as though you are sitting by the Mediterranean sea… I wish!
I love the rustic nature of this dish and won't be so silly as to write a recipe for you. I'm sure you can put this together in a flash and add your favourite condiments too, a few black olives and some cracked black pepper would be right at home.
Go on, knock up your own no-fuss lunch today.
Happy cooking, Christie

This New Year's Eve, make a resolution to save money! There is no easier or quicker way of doing so than by cutting costs on your AC bill. While we have mild winters in Florida, once summer hits, our bills are going to skyrocket! Start learning the AC habits that will save you money later. And don't forget to make sure your HVAC system is energy efficient! Here are some tips and tricks to help your stick with your frugal NYE resolution.
Stop Wasting Air
When you're not in the house, there is no reason to leave your AC set to the same temperature! When it's cooler outside, move the temperature down about five degrees, and when it's warmer, move it up five degrees. This will give your system less work to do, saving you money. However, don't turn off your system all together when you leave the house. The amount of energy required to completely re-cool or re-heat your home is greater than the energy you will have saved by switching it off.
Fan It Out
A fan can help cut on cooling cost in both winter and summer months. During the summer months, switch it on to make a room feel cooler. While this won't actually lower the room's temperature, it will make you feel better, meaning you can give your AC a break.
It may sound surprising, but the fan can help you in the winter as well. Most ceiling fans have a "reverse" mode, which will change the way the fan blades move. When switched to reverse, the fan will help circulate warm air and keep you warm.
Schedule an HVAC Check-Up
Having two annual maintenance check-ups a year for your HVAC is the best way to keep it energy efficient. During the HVAC maintenance a technician will come out and clean your entire unit. This keeps your energy bills lower, and your home comfortable.
If you're looking for ways to save money on your heating and cooling costs, Climate Design can help! Our experienced technicians know all the tips and tricks for the frugal homeowner. Call Climate Design today and start this year!

Every era has its stressors. But our times can feel especially tumultuous. A 2017 American Psychological Association (APA) poll found that nearly two-thirds of Americans find that the future of the nation is a significant source of stress. And, according to a March 2018 national survey by the APA, more Americans feel anxious than they did in 2017. The nation's anxiety score has increased five points since 2017. People worry about safety, health, paying bills, and politics. Depression scores are up, as well, according to the 2017 Gallup-Sharecare Wellbeing Index.
Some days, waking up can feel like a game of Jenga — when you pull out the wooden blocks from your tower one by one, waiting for it to crash into a messy pile. The trick is navigating and tolerating the uncertainties — whether they be international calamities or a personal crisis — and strengthening your base so that when people, places, and things steal pieces from your tower, your balance remains intact. Here are a few ways to do that.
Invest in what's static
Most things in life are variable — international relations, Kardashians gossip, the word Starbucks attaches to a large coffee. But all of us also have a few (somewhat) reliable things that provide our foundation: a sister, husband, or mother who loves us unconditionally, coffee with friends, the way we feel when we give back, maybe our faith. When my Jenga tower starts to wobble, it usually means I need to put a few more blocks in the bottom and turn my attention to things that I know I can wake up to tomorrow. I need to laugh more with friends, go for a hike, read an inspiring book, call my sister, and help someone in need.
Read the news strategically
If you're the type of person who can scan news headlines with no adverse effects, you are in the minority. According to the same 2017 APA survey cited above, 56 percent of Americans said that following the news regularly gives them stress. I am among them. Therefore, I approach the news with a strategy similar to the one I use to feed the ducks in Annapolis, Maryland, where I live — exercising careful timing. If you arrive with bread when the pigeons are hungry, you could find yourself pecked to death or covered with white stains. Before I open my news feeds, I make sure I'm calm enough that reading something upsetting won't throw me down the rabbit hole of obsessions and paranoia. I also know my triggers and avoid sensitive stories, like stories about suicides, when I'm especially vulnerable.
Hang with the right crowd
Whether you like it or not, research says we become like those we hang around. For example, weight loss efforts are contagious. Your drinking patterns are affected by social acquaintances. Some researchers even indicate that depression and "cognitive styles" (Eeyore versus Tigger) are also affected by people around you. That said, if you're hanging with folks who are constantly fretting about the chance of a nuclear war, you may also start to panic and build a shelter. If, however, you surround yourself with Buddha-types who manage to live in the moment and are optimistic about the future, you will probably not waste your time on buying enough milk powder to last 10 years.
Get a reality check
A friend of mine spent the last two years in her job convinced she was on the verge of getting fired, that her co-workers found her incompetent — until she gave her notice, that is. Senior executives raved about the quality of her work and told her she was invaluable. Some of our fears and assessments are valid. Many aren't. We all need people in our lives that can tease apart truth from fiction, or recognize kernels of truth in what is mostly a lie. I have a few trusted folks I can count on to give me an objective perspective. Most of the time, they tell me to "reel it in" because I have crafted a fascinating novel in my head.
Put on some blinders (and do the thing in front of you)
We are not unlike horses, with eyes on the sides of our heads. Our peripheral vision — however useful it is at times — can have us running off course, drifting down dangerous cliffs to what we see is greener, longer grass. One legend says that blinders were created when a preacher bet his friend that his horse would walk up the stairs, which he did. However, getting back down was the problem. Only by covering up the horse's head and inhibiting the animal's vision could the horse focus enough to do something that obviously scared him.
Like horses, we get too distracted and stimulated by everything happening in our world. Putting on some blinders — like taking a break from the media, establishing better boundaries with toxic people, or being more selfish with our time — can empower us to take the risk we wouldn't take if we could see everything. By blocking out the inessentials and closing ourselves off into our own small world, we, ironically, become able to do the thing in front of us.
And we can make our tower stronger.

- The product comes with a curve design that we have not seen in similar products. The curved design allows feet to feel more comfortable while planted on the surface of the footrest, while also ensuring feet can remain active with the rocking motion offered by the device.
- In addition to providing adequate support for the feet, Humanscale FM500 Foot Machine was developed in such a way to provide appropriate supported for the user's lower back as well, further adding to its potential health benefits.
- Humanscale FM500 Footrest is one of the most expensive options on the market, with price starting at $168. Many competitor products that are currently available can be picked up for less than $100.
- While the product comes in two convenient color options, the fact that there are only two colors to choose from can be somewhat limiting for some potential customers and users.
- Some users have found that the rubber grips that are installed on the surface of the product come off in some cases. This can be inconvenient and ultimately affect the user's grip while they are using the footrest.
- The product itself features an aluminum frame. While this is a very sturdy frame, we found that some of the users who have taken advantage of the footrest in the past found that it can sometimes move forward slowly while in use. This can be an inconvenience to some people, as they might have to get up and move it back to an appropriate position frequently.
Humanscale FM500 Foot Machine Footrest Review
Humanscale FM500 Foot Machine Footrest is different from many alternative footrests that are on the market today. While the majority tend to feature a flat design or perhaps a cushioned design, this one is made from molded plywood to offer a curved design that helps to ensure the user's feet can be placed in a comfortable position. The product is sturdy, made from quality materials, and comes in two great colors that customers can choose from when they decide to invest in the product.
This particular footrest was not only designed to provide adequate support for the user's feet. In addition to ensuring the user can comfortably rest their feet on the surface, the product's unique design was developed in such a way to offer support for the user's legs as well and to even extend the support toward their lower back. The curved design further adds to the rocking motion's potential health benefits and may assist in improving blood circulation and avoiding blood pools in the user's lower limbs compared to options that feature a flatter surface where the user's feet are rested during use.
Humanscale FM500 is made from a range of quality materials to provide a sturdy performance, while also ensuring the entire product is durable enough to be used daily without concerns.
The legs of the footrest are made from a high-quality die-cast aluminum material. This provides a stable structure for the rest of the device. The platform itself is made from molded plywood, along with a steel foot stop and rubber grips on the surface of the footrest. The rubber grips have been added to help provide a more comfortable positioning of the feet without the risk of frequently slipping.
This particular footrest is a relatively large option that ensures the user's feet can both comfortably fit on top of the surface without restrictions. The product measures 18.75 inches in width, 12.25 inches in depth and 4.5 inches in height. Even though a larger option than some competitor products, the footrest is still portable enough to be taken with the customer should they need to use the product in a different location.
Humanscale FM500 Foot Machine Footrest offers a remarkable design with a curved upper platform that provides a better fit for the user's feet. The product is made from wooden material and comes in two different finishes that the customer can choose from – these include a cherry finish for those looking to buy a product that features a vintage look, as well as a black option for customers looking to buy a product with a more contemporary appearance.
One particular benefit that is definitely worth mentioning about Humanscale FM500 Foot Machine Footrest would be its warranty. While most of these products do tend to come with an included warranty, the majority of the options out there on the market tend to offer very limited warranties that are only valid for a few years. Humanscale FM500 Footrest, however, comes with a lifetime warranty – this is how proud and confident the manufacturer of the product is in its construction, quality, and the product's sturdiness. Customers who find any potential issues that may be caused by a factory fault with their footrest can get in touch with the manufacturer to arrange servicing, repairs, or perhaps in exchange for a new footrest in some cases.
The Bottom Line
Overall, we find the Humanscale FM500 Foot Machine to be one of the best footrests that are currently out there on the market. Sure, the price is somewhat higher than a lot of the alternative and competitor options that are available at the moment, but the overall design and the exceptional quality of this product certainly make it worth spending a few extra dollars.
The Humanscale FM500 Foot Machine Footrest is an ideal solution for any person who finds that they are experiencing the adverse effects of sitting down in front of a desk all day while working. The machine is sturdy and will last for a more significant period than many of the competitor options out there.

Clare Farm Heritage Tours Co-op
The Clare Farm Heritage Tours Co-op is a co-operative of farmers who have come together to interpret their land and promote their traditions. The farmers have inherited an ancient and unique system that links their lives directly to pre-historic Burren farmers.
Their daily practices are based upon a tried and true tradition dictated by the landscape and they are passionate about their role in its conservation. By coming on a farm walk you will learn how nature, culture and farming have shaped the Burren as you see it today.
You will be participating in an ecotourism experience that supports the co-op, contributes to the local economy, supplements the co-op members' farm incomes and helps them to continue the farming practices that are vital for the conservation of the Burren.
Over 100 archaeological sites and monuments have been identified throughout land currently farmed and managed by members of the co-op.
For more information see the Clare Farm Heritage Tours Co-op website.

Sixties legend Sandie Shaw worked for six weeks as a punch-card operator at Ford, and at the end of 2010 revealed to Desert Island Discs that escape propelled her entire career. Dudley Moore was another who left to achieve stardom, along with the great Peter Cook, managing to combine cleverness and filth in some memorably obscene recordings such as the filthy Derek and Clive Live before becoming an unlikely Hollywood star in Arthur.
Like the coalfields of the north-east, Dagenham has unleashed an extraordinary amount of footballing talent.
England manager Sir Alf Ramsey, the man who won England the 1966 World Cup, came from Dagenham, although it didn't sound like he did. Sir Alf famously had elocution lessons that resulted in him sounding like a bizarre combination of Parker from Thunderbirds and Bertie Wooster, and all with a Captain Mainwaring-style air of pomposity. Throughout the swinging sixties he maintained his upwardly mobile received pronunciation indicating a deep insecurity about his working class origins.
Ramsey's captain Bobby Moore was raised in Waverley Gardens off the lorry-strewn River Road in Barking. Hat-trick hero Geoff Hurst was also a Barking lad.
Former England gaffer Terry Venables was born at Valence Road and through a variety of business schemes such as selling thingmywigs, setting up Scribes West bar and buying Spurs, demonstrated the eye for a deal beloved of a self-made Essex Man.
Tottenham legend Jimmy Greaves grew up in Daggers and during my childhood, according to local gossip, moved down the road to a house near Upminster Common. After recovering from alcoholism — West Ham suffered his final season — he used his Essex wit to create a new career as the cheeky half of Saint and Gravesie on ITV's On The Ball. The walruss-moustached Greavesie also became a beloved Sun columnist.
Arsenal and England's Tony Adams grew up at 6 Foxlands Road, the son of an asphalter, playing for the youth side Dagenham United alongside West Ham's legendary Steve Potts.
Chelsea's John Terry is another son of Dagenham and so is Liverpool's Paul Konchesky. Paul's mum Carol displayed the more abrasive side of the Dagenham resident when she made the headlines defending her son from stroppy Scousers on Twitter.
Dagenham has also featured in song more than most towns. The Stranglers wrote Dagenham Dave about the eponymous character Dave, a Mancunian scaffolder who once worked at the Ford plant. Dave followed the band everywhere and eventually committed suicide jumping off Tower Bridge. Morrissey also penned a song called Dagenham Dave, this time with more homo-erotic tones.
More recently we've had rapper Devlin and I'm a Celebrity winner Stacey Solomon, complete with her Malibu and pineapple celebrations down the pub.
Is there a bigger talent factory anywhere in Britain?

WWE Superstar Randy Orton Dishes On The Meaning Of His Tattoos
The Apex Predator lets us know what's up with his tattoos.
Randy Orton has been in the WWE for a long, long, long time. He's been a mainstay of the squared circle and has amassed quite a resumé in his tenure with the company. Plus, he's got the coolest nicknames in all of sports entertainment. "The Viper" and "The Apex Predator." Come on. Those are two of the most badass nicknames ever, and they both belong to one guy.
Well, Orton also has a plethora of tattoos that have a special meaning. Also, some of them don't. Orton is an interesting dude and the stories behind his tattoos are just as compelling as his in-ring work.
Randy Orton's sleeve. #RandyOrton #WWE #WWESuperstar #Sleeve
Orton was once a member of the Marine Corps and had a tattoo to commemorate the stint on his shoulder. He was relieved of his duties in the service due to his bad temperament, and received a bad conduct discharge for disobeying orders and going absent without leave on two occasions.
Orton has gotten the old USMC tattoo covered up since then with elaborate sleeves, and a Bible verse that reads, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
Randy Orton's sleeves carry a ton of meaning to him. #RandyOrton #WWE #WWESuperstar #Sleeves
The only part of Orton's sleeves with any color is a tattoo dedicated to his daughter, Alanna. The rose tattoo includes his daughter's name and the year she was born in Roman numerals.
As for the rest of his tattoos, The Viper is very mysterious. "As far as the meaning, I don't want to tell everyone what it means. They can look, they can enjoy them, but the meaning is for me."
According to Orton, his tribal tattoos mean "absolutely nothing." #RandyOrton #WWE #WWESuperstar #Tribal
As for the tribal tattoos that adorn his body, Orton has quite an interesting story to go with their meaning.
"The tribal work I had before had no meaning behind it. No meaning whatsoever."
Oh. I guess not.
Randy Orton and his wife have finger tattoos dedicated to each other. #RandyOrton #WWE #WWESuperstar #fingertattoo
The latest tattoo Orton had done was the finger tattoo dedicated to his wife, Kim Kessler. He got her name with a heart next to it, and she got Randy's name with a heart. The couple is expecting their first child together, so I would expect to see some more ink dedicated to family on Orton's body.
There are many levels to Randal Keith Orton, and the master of the RKO shows it off via his ink. He looks intimidating, while maintaining what is important to him with his tattoos.

All About Clawfoot Tub Showers
Converting your Tub into a Shower
Clawfoot bathtubs are a victorian era relic, but not only that, they have a lot of features that surpass many modern bathtubs, especially in areas such as style. Though if you have recently purchased one of these tubs or intend to purchase one in the future, something that you should certainly consider whether you want to turn your bathtub into a shower. There are many benefits of doing this, especially if it's the only bathtub you currently have in your house -- you don't want to be forced to take a bath, that can get old quickly, especially if you are often in a hurry to get ready. For this reason, I felt it was essential that you know a bit about how to turn your tub into a shower, and what you can expect the process to be like and some various pros and cons.
Pros and Cons
As stated, if you own this variety of tub, turning it into a shower can be essential in some situations. Though, before you do, consider the pros and cons.
- Quick showering becomes an option
- Fairly simple to set up
- Don't have the hazard of spilled water, thanks to curtains
- It can be hard to find a style of shower enclosure and curtain that fits your expectations and matches your tub.
- Your tub will likely need to be placed directly against a wall for the enclosure to hold well.
- You have to find an eclosure of either adjustable size or very close size for your specific tub
So prior to purchasing, certainly consider these factors as you don't want to rip up an old bathtub and then realize that your new tub isn't the easy quick-fix you wanted.
What to Expect
The labor to set up a clawfoot tub shower isn't very difficult, though you may want to read some tutorials on how to do this because often the in-box instructions aren't all that they should be. Typically shower kits come with an enclosure or a showerhead or simply an enclosure, before you purchase know which one you need, as most faucets typically come with a shower-head preinstalled. As stated, it's not a difficult process to set up, though you will need to make sure that your tub is settled against a wall in order for the enclosure to function well. If you have your tub in the center of the room, the process to set up a shower is much more difficult and not suited for the average person.
The Finishing Details
Typically all you will need to set up your enclosure or kit is screw the wall-mounts for the enclosure into your wall. Set up your showerhead, if included in the kit you purchase. This involves plumbing experience in some cases, so I wouldn't recommend doing it personally if you don't have that expertise (especially if you forget to turn off your water main). Once you done these things all you need to do is set up your shower curtain -- ensure you purchase either an oversized curtain or a special clawfoot tub shower curtain or else you will likely wind up with one that is too small to cover the entire area of the tub.

Cambodia - annual report 2018
- Details
- Published: July 10, 2019
Strategic Framework
Legal Policy Starting Point
Cambodia is still suffering under the consequences of its recent history. The peace process and overcoming the war crimes committed by the Khmer Rouge are extremely arduous. It is one of the world's most impoverished countries that faces challenges such as institutional corruption, inadequate competitiveness, bureaucratic institutional structures and a weak judicial system. Cambodia's economy is now growing at a steady pace, although at a comparatively low level, whereby the tourism industry is expanding quickly.
The parliamentary elections in July were the most significant political event in the reporting year. The Cambodian People's Party (CPP) won the elections, confirming the long-serving Prime Minister Hun Sen in office. The largest opposition party (CNRP) was disbanded by the Supreme Court in the run-up to the elections, prompting fierce international criticism and casting doubts on the credibility of the vote. In response, the EU and the United States withdrew their support for the elections.
The efforts by international supporters to develop a legal system containing principles of the rule of law are therefore more topical than ever. Sustained reform measures for the creation of an independent and efficient judicial system are indispensable to ensure Cambodia's continued development.
Overall Concept
The IRZ provides counselling to support the necessary reforms, especially in the areas of modernising court organisation, where it prioritises the criminal justice system.
The issues associated with court organisation have been addressed for two years now in cooperation with the Cambodian Ministry of Justice and the courts and aim primarily to establish an electronic case management system within the Cambodian criminal justice system in the long term.
So far, the cooperation has seen the production of a process flow chart for organising the main proceedings in the courts of first instance within criminal law (local courts); it was prepared in English and has since been translated into Khmer. This flow chart can be used as a basis to discuss the content, technical and financial parameters for introducing an electronic case management system.
Moreover, a review was conducted on potential synergy with an electronic registration system for court records that has already been installed. Implemented by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) at the majority of criminal courts, it has been used for statistical and reporting purposes so far. Seeking to optimise utilisation of the work results acquired to date, the IRZ developed an overall concept for the Cambodian Ministry of Justice that included the existing electronic tools and that sought to expand the IT-assisted approach throughout the court organisation. If and to what extend this overall concept will be implemented depends on the decisions made by the persons in charge.
Foci of Activity in 2018
Administration of Justice
- Workshop to finalise the process flow chart for criminal law
- Local court session and training for legal practitioners in Phnom Penh with the department at the Ministry of Justice responsible for court organisation, as well as with judges at courts of first instance
- Workshop and discussions with legal practitioners
- Visit to the pilot court (Local Court in Phnom Penh) to discuss the IT requirements for an electronic case management system in Phnom Penh
- Workshop to present the concept paper on the IT requirements for developing an electronic case management system in Phnom Penh
There are plans to continue cooperation with the Ministry of Justice and the Local Court in Phnom Penh in the coming year. Attempts will be made to liaise with the responsible department at the Ministry of Justice in order to include introduction of the electronic case management system as a long-term project within the government strategy expected for early 2019 and hence to ensure that the project is awarded official status. This would facilitate both implementation and financing, as well as raising the public visibility of the project.
