First, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper told a congressional committee there were concerns about the growth of wood pellet manufacturing in his state, a top producer of the controversial capsules burned in European power plants instead of coal.
The following day, his environmental agency released a greenhouse gas inventory that takes initial steps to quantify those concerns.
The week's moves are far from the full-throated rebuke of the large-scale biomass industry that environmental advocates have long sought. But they're the first faint signs that Cooper and his administration are reacting to pressure from critics who say massive wood pellet production is exacerbating the climate crisis.
While pellet supporters believe they mitigate global warming by displacing coal and fostering the growth of carbon-absorbing trees, detractors counter that making, shipping and burning pellets incentivizes logging and creates pollution that new trees can't reabsorb quickly or fully enough.
Cooper doesn't take bait on wood pellets
Cooper, a Democrat, appeared before Congress on Wednesday to urge federal action on climate and tout his executive order that cuts the state's greenhouse emissions 40 percent by 2025. His comments on wood pellets came amid questioning from Rep. Bruce Westerman, an Arkansas Republican and biomass proponent.
Cooper acknowledged the strength of the state's forest products industry, but told Westerman, "I think we have to be careful about going too far with it." He added that his administration was considering more safeguards, "to make sure that our forests are protected."
Westerman honed on North Carolina's wood pellet business and seemed to goad Cooper into endorsing it. "How do you think that's affecting the health of the forests in North Carolina and the global climate," he asked, "being able to use those renewable wood pellets to replace coal in Europe?"
If it was bait, Cooper didn't take it. "There's a concern about the increase of the use of wood pellets in North Carolina," he said. "There is a concern about that, yes."
Westerman tried again, pointing out that North Carolina's abundant forestland and proximity to East Coast ports had spurred the construction of the state's pellet plants. Again, Cooper didn't bite. "I don't know about that, Congressman," he said. "I don't know about that."
The next day the Cooper administration released its final greenhouse gas inventory, a ledger of emission sources such as power plants and sinks such as forests. Though the document falls short of the full accounting of the pellet industry environmentalists had advocated, it inches toward it.
Compared to their draft from last fall, state modelers added more information. In the sink column, they clarified that wood harvested for pellets is considered a loss and assumed to be emitted as carbon. In the emissions column, they acknowledged in an appendix that biomass energy releases a significant source of pollution, but didn't include it in the overall emissions total (a move, they said, to avoid double-counting).
State officials didn't attempt to quantify the pellet industry's direct impact on forests, citing insufficient data, but said they would attempt to correct that in subsequent inventories. And they said a newly formed stakeholder group would help ensure a more transparent and thorough assessment in the future.
'We're looking to him to take action'
Among those stakeholders, the forest protection group Dogwood Alliance welcomed the "positive updates" in the greenhouse gas inventory, as well as the governor's comments before Congress, thought to be his first public statements on wood pellets in the context of global warming. But the group says much more aggressive action is needed.
"I do think that's a positive note, that he's acknowledging the concerns and doing so in a federal hearing on climate change," said Danna Smith, the group's executive director. But, she said, "the question is what is he going to do about it."
Advocates want the Cooper administration to delay an expansion bid from Enviva, which owns three large operating pellet plants and a fourth under construction in eastern North Carolina.
To satisfy global demand, the Maryland-based company has applied for permits to increase production to 2.5 million tons per year, which would render the state the largest manufacturer of exported pellets in the country.
Smith acknowledged Cooper may not have strong legal footing to deny the permits outright. But, she said, "we're at a moment in time right now where we need to be doing as much as we can possibly do to keep emissions out of the atmosphere, and so the governor needs to figure out how he can exercise his administrative authority to delay these permits for this expansion."
"The governor's job is to lead right now on climate change," she added, "and right now he's failing when it comes to forests."
If Enviva executives believe their expansion plans are in danger after this week, they're showing no sign of it.
"We are proud to be a part of the thriving forest products sector in North Carolina, where strong wood product markets encourage private forest landowners to keep forests as forests," the company said in a statement when asked about Wednesday's hearing.
"We look forward to our continued engagement with state and local officials on how we can achieve our mutual goal of fighting climate change while protecting our forests."

"Despite Beijing's choking winter of red alerts, data from 2015 clearly shows a continued positive trend in Beijing and across the country. However, air quality across China is still a major health hazard", said climate and energy campaigner Dong Liansai.
Greenpeace's findings show that Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen all saw decreases in annual average PM2.5 concentrations in 2015, while Shanghai saw a slight increase of 3.14%. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region saw average annual PM2.5 levels fall to 77.1µg /m3, down from 92.6µg /m3 in 2014 and already approaching its 2017 target of 73µg/m3, set by the NDRC in December.
However, Q4 data for Beijing and other areas of northern China show that this winter experienced significantly higher levels of PM2.5 concentration than in 2013 and 2014. Baoding in Hebei province saw a total of 35 days of heavy pollution, while Beijing saw 26 such days. Greenpeace East Asia research shows that the principal reason for this higher frequency of smog in Beijing and surrounding areas this winter was wind and humidity conditions. Though weather conditions help smog develop, the origin of the pollution remains heavy coal burning across northern China.
"With the WHO calling air pollution a 'global public health emergency',[1] China's regular 'airpocalypses' and Beijing's red alerts in December are a stark reminder of what needs to be done: control coal consumption. The upcoming five year plan offers a golden opportunity to put another nail in the coffin of king coal," said Dong Liansai.
Greenpeace East Asia calls on the Chinese government to implement a national coal consumption cap in the upcoming 13th Five Year Plan, due to be agreed on this March. Moreover, PM2.5 targets in the three key regions of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta should be re-addressed based on performance shown in the mid-term review of the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, and ambition increased accordingly. Regional PM2.5 targets should also be expanded to other regions.

Highways England is doing all it can to ensure operations continue as usual in an effort to help traffic technology suppliers weather the Covid-19 storm.
In a statement released late last night in response to the ongoing pandemic, the agency's executive director for commercial and procurement Malcolm Dare has sought to reassure HE's various stakeholders that no projects are to be delayed with some even being brought forward as traffic volumes on roads reduce.
"From our supply perspective we are continuing to operate in a business as usual way for the foreseeable future to ensure that we continue to flow cash to all tiers of the supply chain," Dare said. "We aim to come out of the C-19 challenge with a supply chain that has been both supported and protected and is fit for purpose.
"I ask that all suppliers treat their supply chains in the same way, without a combined effort we run the risk of damaging the overall Highways supply chain."
In order to help suppliers cash flow, HE is seeking to improve the speed of supplier payments for work completed and correctly invoiced.
Dare also confirmed that no sites or operations overseen by the agency are to be delayed or cancelled, but some may even be brought forward.
"Due to reduced traffic volumes we are assessing options to start some activities earlier than planned," he said. "This also supports our approach of keeping the supply base operations as close to business as usual as possible in these challenging times."

Google's Made With Code initiative has unveiled its latest project, Holiday Lights. Made with Code is a project from Google to help encourage girls to explore coding and development, which is an initiative I have a well-documented soft spot for as well. This new project uses Blockly to create and animate a pattern for the lights seen during the National Christmas Tree Lighting this year. You can see the basics of the tree and how your choices of color and animation will look, then you can save your pattern. It's a fun way to learn a bit about code and maybe see your pattern used live! As a person who has spent more time than I care to admit on trying to program the lights at my house, my biggest concern here is how to get my hands on the code so I can do this in my front yard.

|Capcom Reorganizes Mobile Business; Plans to Aggressively Release Titles Utilizing its IP
Capcom today announced it has established a "Mobile Business Division" with the purpose of reorganizing its mobile operations. This division aims to produce hit titles both domestically and abroad by aggressively utilizing the company's popular IP. Overall, the Capcom Group will strengthen licensed content in Asia in accordance with their new mobile strategy.
With international economic growth and the explosive spread of smartphones as a backdrop, the mobile games market is expected to rapidly grow: from $27.5 billion in 2015 to $37.4 billion in 2019 globally. Mobile content is a driver of growth in the game market as well as an important factor in Capcom's growth strategy.
Under these circumstances, Capcom established its "Mobile Business Division" in order to grow its business in-step with the market and continue offering exciting content. The integration of the Beeline and Capcom brands—which had pursued individual strategies up to this point—joins the development and operational knowhow of each into the new division. Additionally, this allows for fast decision making in rolling out titles that utilize Capcom IP across the globe. In accordance with the division's establishment, Beeline Interactive Japan has been renamed Capcom Mobile.
Further, the Capcom Group plans to license successful Japanese titles in Asia in order to expand its revenue in that region.
Under the new organization, Capcom plans to release four titles in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, including popular brands such as "Monster Hunter", "Sengoku Basara", and "Mega Man".
The Capcom Group will continue to maximize revenues by proactively releasing popular IP in the high-growth mobile games market.

Ivanka Marlow
Feb 24, 2006
She was a survivor. I fully expected her to outlive me, to be cursing God and the world at my gravestone. She survived WWII, acting as a single mother to her younger sisters and to her own mother, keeping the family alive despite the father that stole their support checks, traveling from country to country ahead of the front, and ending up in Germany, near Berlin. And after the war, when there was no food, she would get in a jeep with Russian soldiers, and come back with food for the whole family, and nobody asked questions.
She was not a cultured woman, or an educated one. With an alcoholic father and an insane mother, she was already working full time before the war, in her early teens, to keep the family alive. And yet she was trilingual, fluent in Serbo-Croat, German, and English. I learned most of my curse words from her: more crass than any legendary merchant marine or trucker, louder than any cat-calling construction worker, she wielded them with a fluency and vehemence unparalleled in the real world (driving with her was a real trip - even when she was in the back seat, she'd open the window and let out a string of curses in Serbian, English and German at anyone who had the audacity to try to pass us), and used them eloquently to voice her opinion. And she always had an opinion or two, often contradictory.
Once we were driving and passed a road crew that was on break, black men sitting under a palm tree, drinking water and coffee. "Dose fuckin' niggers are so lazy," she'd said. They won't work. When they do, they don't do it right. They all drive Cadillacs and have lots of babies. All that shit. And as we continued back to her house, we came across a group of black men, sitting under a palm tree, drinking coffee and water - groundskeepers for the condo complex where she lives. "Oh, dese poor Haitians," she said. "It's so hot out, and dey vorkin' so hard." And followed this with a diatribe against rich white folks who never worked a day in their lives, but refused to pay these guys a living wage. And followed this with a diatribe against the government for their immigration policies, which forced these people into positions where they could be exploited. She was a bigot, an anti-bigot, a capitalist, a proletarian, a communist, a Catholic and a Methodist and a Lutheran. She could hold vastly contradictory viewpoints, and held them strongly and vociferously.
"Stop here so I can buy Lotto. How many are you getting?" "None." "What? You already got Lotto?" "No, I don't buy lotto." "You are so fuckin' stupid! You are just like your father!" To Ivanka, anyone who did not put at least $20 a day down on the Lotto was stupid.
One day in the early 80's, she decided to reorganize all the closets in my parent's house. She did this, of course, while my parents were at work. So, she moved everything around, and then labeled everything, writing down what was what on the shelves in indelible marker. Now, she never learned to write, and what little she did learn was in Yugoslavia. Slavic languages are phonetic – everything is spelled exactly as it's pronounced. So Ivanka applied the same ruleset to English – she spelled everything exactly the way she pronounced it. So in the linen closet, one shelf held "Flat Shits" and another held "Fitet Shits." I think those labels are still there. She is the one who spelled my name Brni, on every card and letter I ever got from her. Because that's how she said it.
She threw out all my mom's dresses once, and bought her all new dresses, gaudy, Ivanka styled dresses. She did this with the drapes, as well, in a separate incident. Ivanka never wasted anything, however, so instead of throwing all the dresses and drapes in the trash, she immediately cut them up into rags. She didn't understand why my mother got angry.
Len and I were visiting her for a couple weeks while my parents were in Mexico. I was in 9th grade, I think, an age when the luxury of sleeping in is a luxury not to be squandered. Ivanka woke early, and found it offensive that we didn't. So at 6am every morning, the lock on the bedroom door would mysteriously become unlocked, and the door would open a crack. A whispered voice: "Pepper! Vere is your Brni?" And a small poodle would be pushed into the room. "Go find your Brni." And the poodle would jump on the bed and start licking my face. Suddenly, at the top of her lungs: "Pepper! Vere are you? Get out of there, you vakin' the kids!" After which sleep was impossible.
When I was, oh, thirteen or so, she did her best to encourage my getting laid by this cute and precocious 14 year-old girl I met at the beach. She called it "making connections." Unfortunately, she failed in all but embarrassing the snot out of me. But it's the thought that counts. Isn't it?
Driving through Europe, from Luxembourg to Germany, from Germany to Yugoslavia, from Yugoslavia to Greece. We did a lot of driving at night to avoid traffic and livestock (at the time, it was still likely that you'd get stuck for an hour or two as a herd of sheep or goats or cows would be parked on the highway by herders who knew damn well that they were blocking traffic and didn't give a damn). We'd be asleep in the back seat of the van. Suddenly someone was shaking my shoulder, and as my eyes opened, something was being pushed against my lips. "Vould you like a bonbon?" "No. I'm trying to sleep." "Pitchka ti materina! Elizabet, your children are so ugly, they are so ungrateful!"
Horror stories all. She was the kindest, foulest, most generous, most selfish, most maddening person I've ever met, an extreme caricature of conflicting extreme caricatures. I think that there is and never shall be anyone like her again in this world.

We sort the report by Brand -- which is a picklist field, but the order is not working properly, I expect it should sort by alphabetically, the same order result we will see in Classic.
Try to convert the report to a summary or matrix report:
summary report
matrix report
What is the cause?
The order of groupings containing Picklist field values is based on how the values are arranged in the picklist field itself, not the arrangement selected in the Sort Order.
The easy fix is by change the picklist value for that field, see this article Sort Picklists, if you need guidance on how to change picklist value.
However, if you don't have admin access, or for some reason, you are not allowed to change the order, you can add bucket field in the report, make sure to create the buckets in the order that you want the picklist values to be displayed on the report.
So, instead of using the original field, use this bucket field in the report.
Here an idea to vote to sort picklist values alphabetically, currently only have 470 points after 9 years.

Cooley, former president of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, died Thursday (April 1) at age 91.

(RNS) — If you met Robert E. Cooley, you remember his arresting handshake. If you sat in a meeting with him, you recall a brilliance that stopped committee chatter or — more improbably — made sudden sense of it. If you worked with him, you remember a measured decisiveness that could pull your organization back to its mission or lead a whole new movement.
Cooley, a Near Eastern archaeologist and former president of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, died Thursday (April 1) at age 91.
Best known for his presidency of the seminary from 1981 to 1997, Cooley spent much of his earlier career at archaeological sites in Israel and Egypt. His most important discoveries were made at Tel Dothan, in the West Bank, where he brought to light the burial rituals of 288 of the ancient city that speak volumes about how they lived. He played a key role in the founding of the Near East Archaeological Society.
His later research of 106 Native American sites while director of the Center for Archaeological Research at Missouri State University became central for the U.S. government's "cultural resource management studies."
But it was in higher education that he had his greatest impact on American religious life, much of it after he retired from Gordon-Conwell. He helped Tim Laniak, then-dean of the Charlotte, North Carolina, campus, develop that campus and plant a satellite school in Jacksonville, Florida. "Those who knew Dr. Cooley," Laniak said on Thursday, "assumed the whole world did."
In 2008, Cooley helped to reorganize the governance of Oral Roberts University at a time when the school had fallen into debt and was on the brink of closing. Mart Green, a co-owner of the Hobby Lobby stores who brought Cooley in to help rescue the school, recalled, "I first met Bob when he was in his late 70s, and wisdom was gushing out of him."
The son of an Assemblies of God minister, Cooley was instrumental in the 2011 consolidation of three of the denomination's schools — Central Bible College (his alma mater), Evangel University and the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri.
Cooley, a past president of the Association of Theological Schools in the U.S. and Canada, also served as a senior editor for Christianity Today magazine and worked for the World Evangelical Alliance. He served as a founding board member for the Museum of the Bible.

His last lecture, in November 2019, was at the Charlotte campus, where he retired. Titled "Household Archaeology: My Career Is in Ruins," it was the first he delivered seated, Cooley explained, noting that he was approaching "the 90-yard line of life."
Cooley was a man of great personal strength and he aged gracefully — at 84 years, he could grab a 100-pound bag of golf clubs in one hand from his trunk, and carry it some distance.
In 2014, he gave a lecture in Springfield, Missouri, at a traveling exhibit of the Museum of the Bible, speaking for more than an hour to a standing room only crowd, no notes in hand, and gave a detailed and memorable talk on archaeology and the Bible. The Q&A was wide-ranging and even more riveting. Afterward, he withstood a long line of people waiting to chat.
Seeing that image of him leaning slightly on the rostrum was a freeze-frame moment. He told me beforehand it was his last special lecture away from home as "my youth is leaving me."
He lived fully, and purposefully. As he lost the ability to get around and eventually the ability to breathe, he never lost the strength to invest in others, and to live with the belief of heaven. He took pride in not being "the last of the conservatives," but a mentor to future generations.
Green said the news of Cooley's passing, and his life at large, brought to mind a verse from the Book of Job: "Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?"

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials report the increase in the number of large group border crossings led to the apprehension of nearly 9,000 in fiscal year 2019 to date.
CBP officials reported on Thursday that 8,797 migrants, mostly families and minors from Guatemala, crossed the border in 53 large groups since October 1, 2o18. CBP defines a large group as more than 100 migrants. Of that number, 7,757 are Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) and Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) from Guatemala.
The report states that 84.6 percent of the large groups are FMUA migrants, while 11.5 percent are UACs. Nearly all (99.6 percent) of the large group migrant crossings came from the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, officials stated.
Compared to the same period in Fiscal Year 2018, FMUA apprehensions are up by 280 percent, the report continued. "Fiscal Year 2018 was a record year and this year will surpass that if the current trend continues without any legislative fixes," CBP officials stated.
The massive increase of migrant families and minors crossing the border created a crisis for CBP officials to contend with. One of those is a crisis regarding medical treatment for this large number of migrant families and children.
Officials reported:
- USBP transported 2,224 subjects (5.3% of all southwest border arrests for the same period) to local hospitals since December 22, 2018.
- USBP has spent a total of 19,299 hours providing various levels of support to these hospital visits. This includes transportation to and from, and over watch for each person/family at the hospital. This means there are less agents performing border security duties.
Officials cited an example from January 15 when Border Patrol agents arrested a group of 247 migrants. At least 50 of these migrants required immediate medical attention from a hospital. Transporting these 50 migrants to a hospital for evaluation and treatment. These migrants crossed in an extremely remote area of the New Mexico border region. Transporting these migrants to hospitals "utilized nearly all available agents, severely limiting their ability to process the large group or respond to other border security duties."
This resulted in increased time in custody, delaying custody transfers, and slowing down Border Patrol agents' ability to other types of illicit border crossings. Cartel connected smugglers now appear to be taking advantage of this to smuggle large quantities of drugs across unattended border areas.
"Smugglers and traffickers then use these large groups as "cover" while USBP resources are utilized to arrest and detention-related duties associated with the large groups," officials stated. The report cites examples of this behavior:
- On January 16, 2018, USBP apprehended a group of 253 illegal aliens and in a separate event seized approximately 265 lbs of marijuana.
- On January 17, 2018, USBP agents seized 705 lbs of Cocaine. On the same day, USBP agents apprehended a large group of 174.
- On January 18, 2018, USBP apprehended a group of 116 and in a separate event seized approximately 1,087 lbs of marijuana.

Invite an Admin
An Admin is any user in Kong Manager. They may access Kong entities within their assigned Workspaces based on the Permissions of their Roles.
This guide describes how to invite an Admin in Kong
Manager. As an alternative, if a Super Admin wants to
invite an Admin with the Admin API, it is possible to
do so using
Invite an Admin
Navigate to the Teams page in Kong Manager
From the Admins tab select Invite Admin
Fill out the username and email address. When a new Admin receives an invitation, they will only be able to log in with that email address. Assign the appropriate Role and click Invite User to send the invitation.
Super Admins can invite users to multiple Workspaces, and assign them any Role available within Workspaces, including Roles that exist by default (e.g.
read-only) and Roles with customized permissions.
The Super Admin can see all available roles across Workspaces on the Roles tab of the Organization page.
On the Teams page, the new invitee will appear on the Admins list with the under Invited. Once they accept the invitation, the user will be listed in the main Admins list.
By default, the registration link will expire after 259,200 seconds (3 days). This time frame can be configured with the
kong.conffile in
If an email fails to send, either due to an incorrect email address or an external error, it will be possible to resend an invitation.
If SMTP is not enabled or the invitation email fails to send, it is possible for the Super Admin to copy and provide a registration link directly.
The newly invited Admin will have the ability to set a password. If the Admin ever forgets the password, it is possible for them to reset it through a recovery email.
Copy and Send a Registration Link
If a mail server is not yet set up, it is still possible to invite Admins to register and log in.
Invite an Admin as described in the section above.
If the "View" link is clicked next to the invited Admin's name, a
register_urlis displayed on the invitee's details page.
Copy and directly send this link to the invited Admin so that they may set up their credentials and log in.
admin_gui_auth is
ldap-auth-advanced, credentials are not stored in Kong, and the Admin will be directed to log in.
How to Grant an Admin Access with LDAP
Pick a user in the LDAP Directory that will be the Super Admin.
Change the Super Admin's username in Kong by making a
PATCHrequest to
admins/kong_adminand setting the value of
usernameto the corresponding LDAP
For example, if the LDAP user's attribute is
PATCH to
/admins/kong_admin should have a
username set to
Log in to Kong Manager using the LDAP credentials associated with the Super Admin.
Invite Admins from the "Admins" page in Kong Manager, ensuring that the
usernameof each Admin is mapped to the
attributevalue set in the LDAP directory.
To enable the Admins to log in, it is still necessary to assign a Role to them.
Once an Admin has logged in successfully and accesses the Admin API using their LDAP credentials, they will be marked as "approved" on the "Admins" list in Kong Manager
The new Admins will still receive an email, but all credentials will be handled through the LDAP server, not Kong Manager or the Admin API.

Depression is like a cancer, it starts small, unnoticeable, unworthy of attention. Then, it grows… slowly but surely, and with just enough alone time with your thoughts, it consumes you. By the time you figure it out, you've already got a cloud hanging over your head like Eeyore did. By the time you figure it out you've already lost people you didn't even know were gone. This further plummets your life into a dark hole with the light so far away you're thinking to yourself, not how but when did I get here?
My depression isn't clinically proven but I feel it. Deep within me, in the quiet of the night and now many times in the hustle and bustle of my busy life. I am there in the middle of a sunny beautiful day and all my head does is scream at me about my past mistakes and the people I've hurt along the way.
The words of those I've disappointed continue to haunt me. They never rest. They never get tired. They wait, they wait patiently for the silence in my head. Before I realise it, I'm back in that dark hole again wondering, when did I get here?
But I guess it's my fault, I let it consume me. I saw the signs and I didn't stop it. How could I? It persists me. It keeps knocking down the barriers and never goes away. And it only grows with every failure I carry under my belt.
Guilt engulfs me because I have what many can only dream of. Yet, here I am. Feeling sorry for myself. Hating my life. Not feeling wanted. And not wanting help for it. Here I am. And all that I can ask myself is, when did I get here?"

IVF: Side-Effects and Risks
Every article that we publish, confirms to stringent guidelines & involves several levels of reviews, both from our Editorial team & Experts. We welcome your suggestions in making this platform more useful for all our users. Write in to us at email@example.com
IVF, or in vitro fertilization, is a very specialized procedure in which the female eggs or ova are removed from the female reproductive system and then the eggs are fertilized by the sperm under laboratory-controlled conditions in a culture dish. The name of the procedure is in vitro fertilization because the fertilization occurs in a dish, and not inside a woman's body.
Side-Effects and Risks Associated with IVF Treatment
There are several side-effects and risks involved with IVF. Some of these are:
1. Multiple Births
If more than one embryo is implanted in the uterine wall, IVF upsurges your probability of multiple births. This can result in the onset of preterm or early labour and birth of low-weight babies. More than three embryos should not be implanted to the uterus to avoid the chances of multiple pregnancies.
2. Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension (PIH)
Mothers who have undergone IVF procedure are known to have high blood pressure (generally above 130/90 mm of Hg).
3. Reaction to Fertility Drugs
Many women complain about nausea, hot flushes, breast tenderness, insomnia, mood swings, and irritability. Some of the other IVF medication side effects are abdominal discomfort, vomiting or bloating. Consult your healthcare provider for aid. Painkillers like paracetamol can be taken to reduce swelling and pain.
4. Heavy Bleeding
Heavy uterine bleeding is also observed in mothers after attachment of IVF embryo.
5. Need of C-Section for Childbirth
Usually, C-section has to be done after the end of term so that any IVF risks to mother related to normal delivery can be avoided.
6. Anaemia
This is the result of heavy uterine bleeding in some mothers. Blood transfusion becomes highly important to save the life of the woman in case of severe anaemia.
7. Preterm Delivery and Low Birth Weight
According to various studies, the probability of preterm delivery of babies and low birth weight babies are higher with IVF.
8. Miscarriage
Miscarriages or abortions are very frequent with IVF as the embryo is fertilized in a laboratory under controlled conditions and do not undergo the normal procedure, the uterus often declines to implant the embryo. The frequency and rate of miscarriages increase with increasing age of the mothers and use of a frozen embryo.
9. Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
In IVF, fertility-enhancing drugs like injectable HCG (human chorionic gonadotropins) are utilized for improving the chances of ovulation. There are some IVF injections side effects. The human chorionic gonadotropins results in swollen and painful ovaries (the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome). The signs and symptoms of hyperstimulation syndrome are bloating, nausea, abdominal pain, discomfort and diarrhoea. The severe case of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is accompanied by sudden weight gain and breath shortness.
10. Complications Associated with the Egg-Retrieval Procedure
Ovums or reproductive eggs are retrieved from the ovaries with the help of aspiration needle which can lead to bleeding, infection, or damage to the bowel, urinary bladder, or blood vessels.
11. Birth Defects
There are some IVF risks to the baby. Babies born by IVF procedure are more prone to developing congenital birth defects according to some experts. However, some experts also believe that the age of the mother is the primary risk factor related to birth defects and not the IVF procedure.
12. Ectopic Pregnancy
It is a fatal situation in which an embryo starts developing inside the Fallopian tube rather than the uterus. Even if the IVF procedure implants the embryos to the uterine wall in the uterus, in some cases ectopic pregnancy might still occur. How Ectopic pregnancy exactly happens is not well understood, but it is more common in women who have undergone some damage in the fallopian tubes. This is a severe problem. An ectopic pregnancy can result in abdominal pain, the unusual rise in pregnancy hormones and vaginal bleeding.
13. Diarrhoea and Nausea
Some hormonal tablets incorporated inside the vagina during the IVF procedure can result in diarrhoea and nausea. The hormonal injections are very painful, hence bruising can occur. To reduce swelling and pain, you can perform cold compress on the injection site.
14.Ovarian Cancer
This is one of the most dangerous IVF side effects in mothers. Some experts believe the notion that there might be some co-relation between drugs/medicines used for stimulation of egg in IVF and development of some certain type of tumour in the ovaries. But this point is still not proved by research.
15. Psychological/Emotional Toll
Undergoing the IVF procedure is highly emotional, stressful and physically demanding experience. The ups and downs of emotions, the occasional visits to the clinic, the high levels of hormones and all the pressure of undergoing invasive procedures and taking care of medication protocols; all of it takes a toll. Fertility treatment can push mothers to their far limits, and the process can easily cause problems in relationships, especially at a time you need emotional support to sail through. Garnering sufficient support from relatives, friends, and professionals is very essential.
16. Stress
IVF is generally an expensive procedure. It affects you physically as well as emotionally. Psychological support from spouse, counsellors and friends can reduce your apprehensions and tension because of the procedure.
17. Hot Flashes
Hormones are known as the chemical messengers of the human body. They carry signals from one part of the body to the other. Alterations in hormone levels might change how your body perceives temperature, resulting in sudden hot flashes. You might also figure that you grow winded more easily or that you are more sensitive to heat.
18. Headaches
Some mothers experience severe headaches after drug injections during IVF procedure, specifically in the time period immediately after an injection. If you have headaches related to your menstrual cycle, this might mean that you are more prone to hormonal shifts, and hence more prone to headaches induced by IVF as well.
19. Anxiety
As we already know that physical infertility can induce anxiety. The IVF procedure can also induce anxiety, as regular doctor's appointments and injections continuously redirect your mind towards your fertility problem. You might feel anxious about issues like your inability to get pregnant or the effects of treatment.
20. Changes in Mood
The drugs taken during the IVF procedure stimulate your ovaries to make multiple eggs, hence upsurging the probability of you getting pregnant with each cycle. Though the multiple drugs that you intake will depend on your fertility issues, oestrogen is mostly a part of the drugs. High dosage of oestrogen may cause frequent mood swings or depression. If you undergo more than one IVF cycles, you might find that you experience less frequent mood changes with the second cycle.
IVF is a boon for many parents who have trouble conceiving for different fertility-related issues. It gives them a chance to realize their dream of having a child and a family. While IVF is generally safe and is highly recommended by specialists, it also comes with a few caveats that are worth considering. Ensure that you discuss and understand the side-effects and risks of in vitro fertilization with your doctor before you undergo the procedure. It is highly imperative for you to make a wise decision and know about the risks and side-effects of IVF procedure. This can help you prevent any complications and have a successful procedure without worries.

Russia's online trading world has been host to a series of embattled companies recently, punctuated by the extraordinary measures adopted by Forex-MMCIS, as well as the bankruptcy of algo expert Blackfield Capital accompanied by an alarming and somewhat flippant notice to customers. Today brought another unpleasant surprise to Russian online traders, as Forex broker ForexInn halted its operations.
In the case of ForexInn, the circumstances surrounding its demise have proven to be somewhat inconclusive, as the website of the company (forexinn.ru) is unresponsive, leaving clients in the dark about the fate of their deposits. LeapRate managed to open an archived version of the webpage, which showed a brief announcement:
"Dear clients of ForexInn!
We regret to inform you that the company is halting its operations in the Russian Federation and the countries of CIS. Requests for withdrawals can be sent to [email protected]. They should contain the number of your account and the size of the sum to be withdrawn."
Russia's Forex industry organization KROUFR earlier today published a special press release regarding the demise of ForexInn, saying that the company is originally headquartered in Hong Kong and that it is not stopping its operations altogether.
KROUFR adds, however, that the company is not its member, nor it is a member of CRFIN, a self-regulatory organization for the Forex industry in Russia. The message also states that KROUFR has received complaints about ForexInn several times, particularly about withdrawal issues.
The number of unregistered forex companies in Russia has been on the rise lately, with the blacklist composed by CRFIN quickly growing in size. Most recently, investment projects Monolith Invest and Alfareserve made it to the list of suspicious companies offering their services to Russian investors. Meanwhile, the onset of official regulation for the Forex industry remains ambiguous in Russia, with the Forex bill still firmly ensconsed within the bureaucratic departments of the Duma and awaiting its second reading.

Collective Bargaining
- Possibly one of the most important organisational rights is the right of SAMWU and IMATU to bargain (negotiate) collectively in respect of wages and terms and conditions of employment. The Constitution and Main Collective Agreement set out how these rights are to be exercised and which substantive matters get bargained at the relevant and appropriate level. Collective bargaining takes place at 3 levels, viz the Central Council, Divisional and Municipal levels.
- Collective bargaining takes place in the Bargaining Committee at either Central Council or Divisional level.
- In the case of municipal-level bargaining, this may take place in the Local Labour Forum (LLF).
- The matters for bargaining at the various levels are specified in Part C, Clause 1 of the Main Collective Agreement.
- Parties at divisional or municipal level are not allowed to collectively bargain on any matter that is reserved solely for the Central Council or higher level. Any collective agreement concluded at divisional or municipal level, which incorporates a subject matter that is reserved for Central Council, may be deemed ultra vires.

The Hutchins Old Boys Football Team of 1983 recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of their memorable premiership year. 1983 was especially significant because the team won three premierships over a three week period, that being the Southern Tasmanian Old Scholars Division, the defeat of the Southern District Amateurs which included the likes of Claremont and Sorell and then the State Premiership against Old Scotch.
The reunion was a resounding success with 20 of the 22 players involved coming from all over australia to be together again (some from as far as W.A, north QLD, ACT, NSW and VIC). Sadly we had lost Alec Burbury (,80) and another player, the competition's best and fairest is lost in the ether but we will find him before the 40th! The boys all went to see the current team play on the Saturday at Queenborough and then had a huge private dinner upstairs at the Ball & Chain and then a barbecue at Coach Clenn's (John Clennett ('68) on the Sunday. The team had a remarkable year despite having lost the first 4 games – it was on for young and old for the new coach. The boys only lost one more game before the three huge wins.

Hollywood Needs People, Not Projects
At a recent talk in Washington, D.C., a devout young Catholic raised his hand and asked me what he should do to enter into the world of Hollywood filmmaking. He wants to be part of producing many more Passions of the Christ on the screens of the future.
I felt a little like Jesus to the rich young man in answering him, "Give away everything that you have and are now doing so that you can throw yourself into mastering the art form. Go to a top film school. Study philosophy and theology so that you have something real to say. Read lots of classic novels and write thousands of pages so that you achieve command of the language as a creative tool. Get your spiritual and moral act together. Then, come and follow us by moving to Los Angeles. And in 10 or 15 years, maybe you'll see your name on the screen appended to a movie of lasting value."
When I was through, I looked with hope at the eager young aspiring film-maker, but his face fell, and he pretty much went away sad.
The Passion of the Christ did not come out of nowhere. It came 30 years into Mel Gibson's filmmaking experience mainly at the top levels of the industry. It came almost a decade after he produced his Oscar-winning film Braveheart. It came 15 years after his profound conversion and the reorienting of his life to Christ. The film itself took 10 years of a brooding, devastating creative journey. Many people in the Church have been asking me if in the wake of The Passion's success Hollywood will produce many more such movies. "Hollywood" can't! There will be no "other Passions" without "other Mels" to bring them into being.
In terms of renewing culture, however, even a string of movies such as The Passion of the Christ will ultimately be insufficient. The industry needs people and then projects. The ability to produce movies such as The Passion is only the bait God will use to draw more Christians to the business. He doesn't care about movies. He cares about moviemakers.
In the days immediately after Sept. 11, 2001, I received several calls from industry acquaintances who wanted to talk about God. Most just needed comfort, and they instinctively sensed that I, as a religious person, might have some to offer.
Note that these folks didn't call their local church. They are industry people. "The Business" is their church. Hollywood people tend to see themselves as separate kinds of beings. They don't follow trends, they make them. They don't buy the illusions, they weave them. They live Plato's allegory of the cave: The whole world is divided into those who throw the shadows on the wall and those who experience the shadows as real or preferable to the real.
I'm sure there were many more thousands — probably tens of thousands — of people in the industry who weathered that dark hour without anyone godly to turn to, mainly because they didn't know anyone in their circle who knows Jesus. There just aren't enough believers to go around in Hollywood. It is a mission territory.
Eventually, the industry will need overt preachers and evangelists to support the troops by teaching and ministering here. But as the first wave, Hollywood needs artists who have their spiritual, moral, emotional and professional acts together.
We need people in place who give a witness to the truth of the Gospel by their lives and by the quality of the work they do. We don't need sermons, tracts, conferences and study guides from the Church. We need people of rectitude, discernment, peace, joy, passion, mercy, kindness — artists and professionals who have been transformed by the love of Jesus — to come to Hollywood, to make beautiful things and to build bridges of friendship with the people outside their family of faith.
The Spirit of God is clearly calling the secular creative community back. We in the Church can help by being available so that when one of these Hollywood "Samuels" has an experience of God he might have an "Eli" to turn to who can help him understand it.
There is a small but vibrant community of committed Christians now working in Hollywood. We are a small community not so much because Christians don't come to the industry but because of what happens to them once they are here.
A large proportion of Christians who land jobs in the business soon lose their color as believers. They are unable to integrate their faith with their careers, so they end up letting their faith life slide. Some of these go on to becoming the angriest anti-religion voices in town. It happens gradually.
A Catholic writer friend confided to me not long ago that she had missed church on a recent Sunday because she was out late the night before at a new film premiere. Somewhere in the last few years, she has become more interested in showing up for Paramount Studios than for God.
The Lord says, "Keep holy the Sabbath." There is no exemption for movie premieres.
A second group of Christians who find some success end up just as quickly leaving the industry because they figure out that no amount of money is worth putting up with what it takes to get something on the screen.
I have a friend who is one of the top TV writers in the business. She converted to Christianity seven years ago, and ever since then, it is all I can do to convince her to stay on the front line. She wants to retire to the Blue Ridge Mountains and write novels. She is tired of putting up with what she calls the vampires in the business.
We are never going to get anywhere in Hollywood until Christians are willing to do for God what the pagans do for money.
The reason our people leave or change is because they weren't spiritually prepared for what they would face in having a career in the entertainment world. No more than the Church would pack somebody off and send him to Uganda without any preparation should the Church send young artists into Hollywood without preparation.
We need people to be sent, but we need people who know what awaits them and have a spiritual strategy to transform the realities of an industry career from stumbling blocks into step-pingstones to deeper communion with God.
The Christians who make it in both the business and in their relationship with God are those who take seriously what the Holy Father calls "the artist's special relationship to beauty." This is to live keenly focused on beauty in terms of mastery of their craft and then beauty of life and beauty of soul. They take Christian community very seriously, the way a man in a desert knows where the wells are.
This is a tough town in every way. Holiness in Hollywood is anything but accidental. But through God's grace, it is possible. It's nothing to go away sad about.

As the Missing Richard Simmons podcast has renewed concerns about the well-being of America's favorite fitness guru, the Los Angeles Police Department has again insisted that Richard Simmons is just fine and has voluntarily retreated from the public eye.
According to People magazine, the LAPD has done a wellness check on Simmons since the premiere of the popular podcast, though it is unclear exactly when or how many times the police have visited him at his home.
Detective Kevin Becker told People magazine that there is no indication Simmons is being held hostage by his housekeeper, which is one of the theories addressed in the podcast.
There was something about his housekeeper holding him hostage and not allowing people to see him and preventing him from making phone calls and it was all garbage and that's why we went out to see him. None of it is true. The fact of the matter is we went out and talked to him he is fine, nobody is holding him hostage. He is doing exactly what he wants to do. If he wants to go out in public or see anybody he will do that.
"He is perfectly fine and he is very happy," Becker added. "I don't know what he is going to do, but right now he is doing what he wants to do and it is his business."
The LAPD had previously visited Simmons's home in response to an elder abuse call made by his former personal assistant and masseuse, who in a recent interview with Missing Richard Simmons maintained his accusations that Simmons's maid, Teresa Reveles, is controlling his life and holding him hostage.

In March of last year, Simmons addressed the hostage rumors himself when he called into the Today show to assure everyone that he was just fine.

Gil Scott-Heron's songs and spoken-word performances, including classics like "Johannesburg," "Whitey on the Moon," and "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," made him America's poet-prophet in the 1970s. Scott-Heron spoke against injustice with wit, empathy, and justified anger, and he, along with his musical partner, Brian Jackson, had a formative influence on early hip-hop and neo-soul. He shunned conventional pop stardom but nevertheless became a star, playing to large crowds and winning abundant critical praise. And then, in spite of help from friends and family, he fell irretrievably into drug addiction, saw his career nosedive, and died alone at age sixty-two. Scott-Heron's fate seems to echo an old and oft-repeated story in the music world, but in Gil Scott-Heron: Pieces of a Man, journalist Marcus Baram delves deeply into the artist's life and psyche, offering some insight into why this particular man went down that sorry road.
Scott-Heron was born in Chicago in 1949, the son of a Jamaican-born soccer player, Gillie Heron, and Bobbie Scott, a librarian from Jackson, Tennessee. Gillie abandoned the family completely when Scott-Heron was still an infant, and Bobbie sent the toddler to live with his grandmother, Lillie, in Jackson, where he stayed until Lillie's death in 1960. Although Scott-Heron was certainly shaped in many ways by his teen years in New York, he always regarded Lillie—an "issues woman" who didn't hesitate to speak up for herself in the segregated South—as a central figure in his life, and he always retained fond memories of the close-knit black community in Jackson.
Scott-Heron showed an early aptitude for both music and writing, and he landed a scholarship to the prestigious Fieldston School after he and Bobbie moved to New York. He went on to Lincoln University—alma mater of his literary idol, Langston Hughes—and it was there that he met Brian Jackson and other musicians, and his unique brand of music, poetry, and social commentary began to take shape.
Scott-Heron wrote in detail about his early life in his posthumously published memoir, The Last Holiday, and it must be said that his recollections are a lot livelier and more entertaining than Baram's rather dry report. But Baram's account has the virtue of being more straightforward, and it seems meticulously fact-checked, as well. (For instance, it corrects Scott-Heron's spelling of Lillie's name.) Baram fills in details about Gillie Heron and, more importantly, he carefully traces Scott-Heron's musical development during his Lincoln years, noting the key influence of The Last Poets, a group of black-nationalist poets who were gaining fame at the time for their spoken-word performances in New York.
Scott-Heron always thought of himself as a writer. He published two novels in his early twenties, and he earned an M.F.A. in creative writing from Johns Hopkins, despite having left Lincoln without a degree. Baram reiterates his claim that he pursued music at least in part because it was a better way to promote his ideas to a non-reading public. "Though the revolution may not be televised and may not be read," Baram writes, "it could certainly be propelled through the sound of music." This choice was also influenced by his reaction against what he saw as the stifling demands of both academia and the publishing business.
In any case, his early recordings with Jackson and the other members of the group they called Midnight Band quickly garnered airplay and fans, and by 1974 they were a big enough deal to attract the attention of legendary producer Clive Davis, who thought Scott-Heron could be "the black Bob Dylan." Davis's support, as Baram portrays it, was a mixed blessing. It gave Scott-Heron the luxuries of ample recording time and label promotion, but it meant that business concerns now intruded on the creative process. Scott-Heron disliked the publicity machine, and he particularly hated the Dylan comparison. "I'm doing something else altogether and I would guess that anyone with an adequate amount of perception would be able to dig that," he said in a contentious 1976 Playboy interview.
Scott-Heron's prickliness about critical labels, which would show itself again when people started calling him "the godfather of hip-hop," was just one manifestation of a deep-seated wariness in his personality, according to Baram. He not only disliked and distrusted anyone with power over him; he actually found it difficult to trust anyone fully, thanks in large part to the trauma of his father's abandonment. (Gillie showed scant interest in his son even after they were reconnected in the 1970s.) Baram quotes Brian Jackson as saying that it "didn't take much to convince him that you weren't on his side." The smallest slight became a betrayal in Scott-Heron's eyes, according to Jackson: "And if you went against him, then you abandoned him."
By the late 1970s Scott-Heron had developed a serious cocaine habit, and he later progressed to freebasing. Drugs were his escape from the pressures of the music business, and they were also a refuge from difficulties in his personal life. He had a turbulent marriage to actress Brenda Sykes that ended in divorce, as well as several on-again, off-again romances, and he had four children from different relationships. "Love is a difficult thing for me to experience," he once wrote poignantly. As his addiction took its inevitable toll on his body, his career, and his life, he was unable to admit the seriousness of his problem or accept help from anyone, even those who cared about him deeply.
He continued to perform, and he received new attention thanks to the rise of hip-hop, but he was in no shape to work regularly, and his last years included several stints in jail for drug possession. Although he was on good terms with his children, he died alone in a New York hospital, where he apparently told the staff he had no next of kin. His daughter Gia, according to Baram, saw this as typical of her father's self-protective pride: "Maybe he didn't want people to see him in that weak and vulnerable position."
Baram writes out of a profound respect for Scott-Heron. He's a long-time fan who got to know the artist well after his glory days in the '70s and early '80s. The book's abundant detail about Scott-Heron's career will please hardcore fans but might be a bit much for those who are more interested in him as a cultural figure. Baram's portrait is informed by interviews with many friends and family members, and it is fascinating—unsparing but never lurid. Gil Scott-Heron: Pieces of a Man is an excellent complement to Scott-Heron's own account of his life, and it's also a sad reminder of what a remarkable mind and spirit we lost with his death.

Days After Netflix Increased Its Subscription Prices, Hulu Is Lowering Theirs
By Emily Petsko
Good news, Hulu users: The price of your video-on-demand subscription will soon be $2 cheaper, according to Variety. Hulu is reducing its monthly fee from $7.99 to $5.99 in hopes of attracting more viewers to its ad-supported streaming platform while also boosting its ad revenue.
New subscribers can take advantage of reduced prices starting February 26, and current users will see savings on their first bill after February 26. There's a catch, though—at least for those who subscribe to Hulu's Live TV package. The cost of that service, which provides access to more than 60 live TV channels in addition to Hulu's streaming options, will go up $5, from $39.99 to $44.99 per month.
Although Hulu has reportedly been planning these pricing changes for months, the timing couldn't be more advantageous. Its competitor, Netflix, hiked the price of its Standard plan just last week from $10.99 to $12.99 per month. The Premium plan also increased by $2 to $15.99, and for the first time in the company's history, Netflix raised the cost of its Basic plan, which is now a dollar steeper, at $8.99. The changes are now in effect and apply to all U.S. subscribers.
For now, Netflix still has more subscribers—more than 58 million, compared to Hulu's 25 million. However, Hulu has the largest selection of TV shows of any streaming service. It offers more than 85,000 episodes, in addition to thousands of movies. And Hulu users can also anticipate more original series in the future. Disney is set to acquire 60 percent of Hulu (Comcast and At&T will retain the other 40 percent), and Disney CEO Bob Iger said he plans to increase investments in original programming.

The kindergarten teachers had finally managed to get all the kids in a line for the walk to the bus station and the weekly excursion. What they hadn't thought of was the fact that today different kids were supposed to go to different excursions. They should walk as one line to the bus station, but to avoid total chaos when they arrive there, all the kids going to the zoo should be in the beginning of the line, the ones going to the lake should be in the middle and the rest, going to the science museum, should be in the end.
Since it takes a lot of time to get all the kids to stand in a line no kid may step out of the line. To get the line organized after excursion group, kids standing next to each other can swap places. Now the kindergarten teachers wonder, if they will have time to do this and still catch their bus.
You will be given a sequence of numbers 0, 1, and 2, denoting the excursion destinations of each kid from first to last in the line. Pairs of adjacent kids can swap positions, and the line should be organized after destination number starting with 0 and ending with 2. What is the minimum number of swaps required to organize the line?
The only line of input contains a string consisting of characters 0, 1 or 2, denoting the destinations of kids. The length of the string will be at most 1 000 000 characters.Output one line with one integer – the minimum number of swaps needed to get the kids in order.
Output one line with one integer – the minimum number of swaps needed to get the kids in order.

One of the most fascinating things about narrative art, as we experience every time we read a book, or watch a play or film, is the way we can become emotionally engaged in stories we know very well to be fiction. Moreover, what we now call suspension of disbelief is not necessarily enhanced by superficial realism [ . . . ]

For a week and a half we were enrolled in a Wilderness First Responder/CPR course. Throughout the course, we went through many different scenarios and patient assessments. We hope to never have to use CPR on anyone in the future; however we appreciate the experience and knowledge in case such a situation arises.
The CPR course was short and sweet. Our instructor, Aerie Wilderness Medicine's Eagle Cruz, brought in some dummies used for practicing CPR. These dummies really helped with gaining "hands-on" experience. For our actual CPR test, we had to complete three sets of compressions each. If the patient wasn't responsive, we then had to call for help and pretend to use an AED (Automated External Difribulator).
For the Wilderness First Responder class, we were put through a series of different scenarios each supported by a number of medical lectures. For example, one of these scenarios included Aron being trapped under the front of a car because he was hit by a drunk driver, played by Angel. The other six of us had to help them and give full patient assessments as if it was genuine. After each scenario, we would debrief the situation and discuss what we did well and what we can improve.
During another scenario, we had to remove a badly injured AJ from under three different sets of bushes. We needed to take him out as slowly and as carefully as possible to avoid further injury. When we got him out, we then had to "beam" AJ and take him to a safe location. Beaming is having three to four people on each side of the patient and using our arms as a backboard. This can only be accomplished by using clear communication and teamwork.
We'd like to thank you for taking time to read this. We all appreciate your interest in our program. Now we are all certified Wilderness First Responders and CPR providers. Just remember to be safe and stay hydrated!

It seems these Check Out pieces I've been writing are more reminders to keep your eyes on alternative legends, rather than new insights into the world of unsigned music. I'll change that next time, for now, Mr Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes, Desaparecidos, many more) has something new for us all. Upside Down Mountain, the new solo-album from Oberst, is as moving and heartfelt as ever; Conor even including, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful he has ever written: You Are Your Mother's Child, about a Father who, after realising he hasn't quite done the best he could have, talks to his son about how proud he is of him, and his Mother. Conor will be touring, so grab your tickets while you can from his website.
You can stream the entire album here, and it goes on sale today!

Dragon Party (part 2)
6 comments:
What an amazing party. I can't believe how boys are just drawn to John Deere. My son also loved tractors, his grandpa is a cattle farmer in Alberta so a trip to John Deere when we visited was always on the list. Funny I made a dragon cake when Alex was 4, took me forever to make - I can so relate :) Looks like you are having so much fun with your boys Tracy!!ReplyDelete
What a fun party and great memories (and photos!) to boot!ReplyDelete
AWE tigg, this post is excellent! Loved the party :) xox SHANReplyDelete
WHAT a great party for Toby. Reminds me of the pirate party I had for my son when he was his age. Grea memories for everyone.ReplyDelete
I just need to say AGAIN how awesome this party looks. You really did a superb job. And all the tots look like they had a blast. Toby reminds me of my older son too, love his grandpa, who is also a framer ;)ReplyDelete
I'm on the hunt for ideas for my little boys 3rd birthday party, which he has specified to be a dragon party. I've loved stumbling across your site. Thanks for sharing your ideas. It really looks like it was a special day. My fav. has been the fire breathing candles!ReplyDelete

I want to show that $\text{NP} \neq \text{SPACE}(n)$ and tried it like this:
Let $L$ be in $\text{SPACE}(n)$ so there is a deterministic $k$-tape TM which decides $L$ in polynomial time. Let's consider a binary alphabet. There are $2^{kn}$ possible strings on the working tapes so for an input of length $n$ the TM can be in $2^{kn} \cdot k \cdot n \cdot |Q|$ different configurations where $Q$ is the finite state set.
Since the TM is deterministic and decides $L$ no configuration can be visited twice (otherwise we would be in an infinite loop). So $2^{kn} \cdot k \cdot n \cdot |Q|$ is also an upper bound for the runtime of the TM which is exponential and therefore not in $NP$.
Is this argumentation enough? I found this answer on the internet and now I'm confused because it looks so much more complexive but also comprehensibly...

I Graduated Debt Free & Got Back $10,000.
Entering high school at age fourteen, I had no idea what financial obstacles lay ahead. I knew that I wanted to go to college. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life and career – I debated going into graphic design, computer science, accounting – just about everything under the sun. And in high school, many well meaning people will give bad advice based on preconceived notions about college.
Adding to my stress was watching my cousin struggle to find work after college. She was four years ahead of me, and took out loans to pay for her education. While she kept her loans low by today's standards (around $10,000), my cousin graduated into a recession. Even with a degree, she was at the whims of the job market. Month after month, she stressed about her student loans while going on interview after interview.
Watching my cousin made me afraid to take on debt – but many of my friends funded their education through loans. Two of my close friends took out more than $20,000 in loans for undergraduate. Other people in my class got into their dream college and were stuck holding $100,000 bills for undergraduate. And for people who may want to go on to graduate or law school, the amounts start looking like mortgages.
I spent my senior year of high school worried, scared, and confused. I started a scholarships and grants hunt, and found a lot of ways to finance my education. But knowledge isn't just power – in the college tuition game, knowledge is money. And unfortunately, I made a few mistakes along the way that cost me thousands of dollars. Luckily for me, I recovered in spite of the misinformed advisors, confusing paperwork, and challenging financial aid requirements.
When I graduated from University of Maryland, Baltimore Dental School in 2011, tuition was $10,000 a semester for in-state tuition. If I hadn't done my research, I could have shelled out more than $80,000 for my degree. But instead, I ended up paying nothing in tuition – and I actually got money back every semester! I am happy in my profession and able to move on with my life after college – I ended up buying my first home three months after graduation and I'm living a travel filled adult life.
But something still bothered me.
Many of my friends from high school and college couldn't start their lives the way I could. They were saddled with so much debt. Most of my friends live with roommates or their parents. They had to take whatever jobs were paying, instead of having the financial freedom to take internships and take their time in finding their first job out of college. One of my friends is twenty-eight years old paying $400 a month in rent (with roommates) and pays more than $1,000 toward his student loan minimums each month. Despite having a good job with the government, he doesn't think he will be able to move into his own place, get married, or buy a house.
I wrote "How to Graduate College Debt Free with Money in the Bank" and created this site to make sure that no one else has to worry about how to pay for college. No one should have to think about dropping out because they can't afford tuition. No one should have to mortgage their present to pay for the future. And I want to help you achieve your dreams…debt free.
Shanice Miller graduated from the University of Maryland Baltimore Dental School in 2011. With the high costs associated with attending a dental school, Shanice is no stranger to worrying about paying for college and wondering if she will be able to even afford to go to college. Knowing she wouldn't have much help from her parents, Shanice was forced to figure out the solution to her problem.
Shanice's intense passion for completing school led her to the scholarship world. She spent countless hours dedicating herself to researching, applying to, and winning scholarships so she could make her college dream come true. To her surprise, she won so many scholarships that she received thousands of dollars in the form of refund checks back from the college each semester. By the time she graduated, she was debt free and had enough money saved up from the refund checks to purchase her first home.
For years, Shanice has been encouraging and advising others to follow her simple steps to scholarship success.
Below is the proof of her refund check amounts for the last 2 years of her college career.
