Billionaire investor Warren Buffett shocked many by disclosing a $1 billion stake in Apple Inc. (AAPL) in a routine 13F SEC filing on May 16.
Apple shares fell more than 25% over the past 52 weeks after the company posted a 16% year-over-year fall in iPhone sales during the first quarter. Despite the slowing sales of its flagship product, the company still reported $21.5 billion in cash on its March 26 balance sheet and trades with a price-earnings ratio of just 10.4x compared to its 5-year average of 14.3x and the S&P 500's average of 18.8x – a compelling opportunity for value investors.
In this article, we'll take a look at some ETFs that are overweight in Apple stock, as well as some ETFs holding other stocks that Warren Buffett is buying.
ETFs Overweight in Apple
There are many different exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that hold Apple stock, since it's one of the largest companies in the world. But, when it comes to stocks overweight in the company's stock, investors should look towards tech sector ETFs. Many of these ETFs took a big hit when Apple reported its disappointing earnings, but have recovered to some extent following Warren Buffett's announcement and the market's digestion of the news.
According to our stock exposure tool, the top five ETFs overweight in Apple include:
- iShares U.S. Technology ETF (IYW ) – 15.99%
- Vanguard Information Technology (VGT ) – 13.83%
- Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK ) – 12.87%
- iShares Global Tech ETF (IXN ) – 12.5%
- Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF (FTEC ) – 12.48%
Investors should keep in mind that these ETFs are influenced to a great extent by other companies in their portfolios aside from Apple. For instance, the iShares U.S. Technology ETF also holds a 12% stake in Microsoft, which means the fund could move lower if Microsoft disappoints – even if Apple continues to recover ground. Investors interested in more direct exposure may want to consider simply purchasing Apple stock outright for their portfolios.
ETFs to Mimic Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett holds a number of different blue chip companies in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, according to its regulatory filing. Aside from his well-known investments in Coca-Cola and Wells Fargo, the billionaire investor has upped his bet on technology companies like International Business Machines, oil companies like Phillips 66, and communications companies like Charter Communications Inc. and Liberty Media Corp.
Some of his new purchases include:
- Phillips 66 (PSX)
- International Business Machines (IBM)
- Charter Communications Inc. (CHTR)
- Liberty Media Corp. (LMCA)
Some of his largest holdings include:
- Kraft Heinze Co. (HNZ)
- Wells Fargo Inc. (WFC)
- Coca-Cola Co. (KO)
- International Business Machines (IBM)
There are many ETFs that track these companies. The First Trust NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index Fund (TDIV ) holds an 8.39% stake in IBM and the iShares U.S. Oil & Gas Exploration and Production ETF (IEO ) holds an 8.11% stake in Phillips 66. But as with Apple ETFs, investors should be aware that these ETFs also hold large stakes in other companies that may not be as desirable as the specific companies that Warren Buffett has picked.
To check which ETFs have exposure to any stock, check out the stock exposure tool.
The Bottom Line
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett surprised the market with a $1 billion investment in Apple following its dramatic decline over the past 52 weeks. Investors in many technology ETFs that are overweight in Apple may benefit from this move if the stock recovers. Those looking to mimic the iconic investor in other ETFs have many different options, including those overweight in some of his favorite stocks of late – like IBM and Phillips 66.

"Without a doubt, without hesitation, I choose gardening over the gym. I can't stand going to the gym. It doesn't appeal to me. Give me gardening every time." – Mary Berry of the Great British Bake Off
Even though I grew up on a farm, I didn't put a seed in the dirt until grown and married. A patch of exposed soil six inches wide and a few feet long out of an apartment sliding door gave me my first green thumb inspiration.
Flower seeds from a packet purchased at the grocery store rewarded me that summer with colorful blossoms and bouquets That was in 1969. They were zinnias.
I have been gardening since. Sticking with the basics, I grow beans – pole beans and bush beans. The other usuals include zucchini, some kind of lettuce, carrots, kale and spinach. Last year, I threw in nasturtiums for color. They were a visual color riot AND EDIBLE.
They make a return visit this year, along with zinnas.
Everyone is writing about the appeal of gardening while quarantined at home during the Great 2020 Virus Outbreak. The New York Times, the Seattle-Times, Wall Street Journal and others all have produced lovely pieces written for people who might be sticking their first seed in the ground.
Beginners as well as those of us already in love with gardening have been flooding online seed companies with orders. Garden supply retailers (deemed essential businesses) are seeing robust sales, two and three times that of a normal season.
Here are my tips for starting a garden on a budget:
Make a Plan: Where will your garden be? How big? Is there an open spot in your yard or along the side of the house? Is there room for a garden box on the patio or a flowerpot on the apartment balcony? All you need is some dirt, sunlight for at least half the day and water (once or twice a week).
Understand the work and time required: Taking care of a garden or even a flower in a pot requires attention (time). Plants need sun and regular watering (but not over-watering) to do well. Plants also need weeding and occasional pruning.
Make sure you (and your family) are willing to regularly put time tending the plants once it begins to grow.
Put together a budget: What do you have on hand, what do you need? A basic "garden" should not cost more than $20 in seed, plus a few tools. A scratching tool, trowel and maybe a shovel to dig up the soil are the basics. Tools could add another $50 to the upfront costs. But I've used kitchen forks and spoons to work up and plant in small pots.
The basics:
A patch of dirt or a medium-sized planter box in direct sun more than half the day.
A trowel and a scratching tool for working up the dirt, planting and keeping weeds at bay.
A shovel, if you dig up a larger patch alongside your house or in the yard. Maybe a heavy rake and a hoe, so you can weed without bending over.
Additional needs and ideas: Bamboo or wooden sticks for pole beans to climb on, cuttings from perennial flowers from a neighbor's yard with permission. Annuals die at the end of each growing season. Perennials return.
Seeds, not starts: Packets of seed typically cost $2 to $4. Seedling starts, already sprouted and growing, are more expensive. Try starting your own seeds inside using shallow tin cans placed near a sunny window.
Seeds packets are available at many grocery stores and at ag retail stores, both considered essential businesses during the stay-at-home quarantine. Keep in mind that the cheapest seed is not always best in terms of germination and plant performance during the growing season.
What to plant: If you have a small area (planter box or flowerpot) go with a packet of climbing Blue Lake pole beans, since they don't need much space and will grow upward on a wooden pole or two. Or how about a cherry tomato plant (best purchased as a plant) that will reward you all summer. Stick in a few cucumber seeds at the edge of the planter. They hang out and trail down.
Throw in some nasturtiums for color, if you've got room. They are edible and look great on a plate. Lettuce from seed would be my next choice.
If you have a larger planting area put in bush beans (green and yellow), kale, spinach and more lettuce. Zucchini plants have never let me down for their dramatic size and production. Love'm.
TO REVIEW: Hopefully, you already own basic garden tools, so you don't have to spend a lot of money. If not, start with a scratching tool and a trowel. (Or use a spoon from the kitchen). Buy a few packets of seed at about $2 a packet. Go with the basics: climbing pole beans, a cherry tomato plant, and a packet of mixed lettuce.
For me gardening is everything. It clears my head and restores my soul. I get physical exercise while creating beauty. I walk around my garden and yard at the end of the day and give thanks for the miracle of life. Mornings, I stroll outside (when it's not raining) with a bowl of cereal while looking at plants, shrubs and thinking about what comes next.
A quote from actor Helen Mirren reminds me of what gardening is all about -- "Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun... you're always learning."

cut a strip of lightweight chipboard or cardboard in a strip one inch wide. I took two strips about 8 inches each and combined them to make a 4.5-5 inch diamteter circle
my inner circle is 4.5 inches- you can really make this any size. Hot glue together.
now a TP roll is a little more than 4 inches wide. Press it flat- cut roll in half , then cut the halves in half. Or you can measure about an inch each piece. I say EYEBALL IT!
you should start to have a bunch of these by now!
now you can eyeball it again, but I suggest making a dot about one inch apart on the inner ring- to use as a guideline
now, add a little line of glue on the ring below each dot and glue the TP rings on. The side I am showing is the back- make sure you press each flat
here is the right side- see how they line up all perfectly even!
go all the way around
Start the next layer, and put another round of rings between the ones you just played down I used a dot of glue 1/4 inch down on each ring, again keeping the wreath flat with the back facing up
this is an example of where I put the glue for this part
Finished second row
for the last row, I add in the ring and hot glue where I am pointing out on the wreath- just one dab
now if you kept it flat and face down, when you pick it up, it should look nice and even like this one!
this one I left "naked" and added some Petaloo Burlap flowers to. petaloo.com
i added some vintage buttons for additional embellishment
or you can spray paint any color- this one I used a flat black and decorated for halloween.
my nam is Denise Hahn and I am a designer for Petaloo Flowers enjoy! Petaloo flowers available at most online scrapbook retailers

The MFP Report ... It's Me
Yup. I do it all. The MFP Report is me. It's a reflection of who I am and how I think. And I think a lot ... yes, about printing. It's been that way for a quarter century (yikes!). It's a reflection of my personality, my strengths, my predilections, my foibles.
While other printing-related industry publications have disappeared, The MFP Report remains. Every month. Direct, Incisive, Cutting. And a bit snarky. At least 20,000 carefully chosen words in each monthly issue.
I strive to cover everything that matters to makers and sellers of hardcopy devices in the office MFP business and the consumer AIO market. For the US and internationally as well. Companies and strategies and financials. Products and technologies. Solutions, channels, services. Results and challenges. Hits and misses. With lots of analysis ... and opinions. Mine.
I strive to enlighten, to investigate and to critique. I step on some toes. And everything is fair game in The MFP Report.

There are a variety of explanations why women experience hair loss. A few of these causes are allergic reactions, disease, drugs, surgery, thyrois issues, dietary deficiencies, chemotherapy or radiation treatment, high stress levels and defense mechanisms problems. If these causes are treated then your hair loss or loss will often stop. For this reason it's important to obtain a medical diagnosis for the reason for hair fall or loss. However, it is only as essential to realize that while you age it's highly likely you'll suffer hair loss. Strategy to women is really as necessary as strategy to men.
Hair thinning in females is associated with alterations in the hormonal balance. Any hair thinning treatment in females will need to take DHT into consideration. Hair loss or hair thinning in females is principally the result of a male hormone. This substance is known as androgen and it is contained in women however in very minute quantities. This substance can be found in the bloodstream stream. There's an enzyme that changes androgen into dihydrotestostrone. Another reputation for dihydrotestostrone is just DHT.
DHT accounts for stopping an ordinary flow of bloodstream towards the follicles of hair. Without it bloodstream flow it's impossible for that follicles to develop or produce hair. The more the follicles are deprived on the normal bloodstream flow the greater the follicles shrink. Eventually the follicles only will shrivel up. Once this happens there's very little hope of growth of hair happening.
Hair thinning strategy to women may take a number of forms. You may still find a lot of women who don't know they are able to obtain a hair surgery. This is extremely well-liked by men but it's just like advantageous in females. A transplant could be damaged into stages over several weeks. It's a way in which is costly.
Another hair thinning treatment in females may be the lotion. You will find lotions that stop DHT being created. Which means that an ordinary bloodstream flow still your hair follicles. Such lotions also be capable of preserve a healthy body in follicles. Lotions are an excellent way of stopping hair thinning. The lotions contain all of the vital vitamins and minerals needed through the body for producing strong and healthy hair. The vital ingredients necessary for body are biotin, zinc and vitamin B6. Hair thinning strategy to women could be in products bought over the counter and in medication that's determined by a physician.

Today kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month, an annual celebration in the United States that recognizes the contributions Americans tracing their roots to Spain, Mexico, Central America, South American and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean have made to American society and culture.
According to the U.S. Census, the Hispanic population of the United States is 60.6 million as of July 2019, making people of Hispanic origin the nation's largest ethnic or racial minority. Hispanics constituted 18.5% of the nation's total population.
Celebrating Hispanics in the United States began in 1968 when the U.S. Congress authorized the president to issue an annual proclamation designating National Hispanic Heritage Week, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Just two decades later, lawmakers expanded it to a month-long celebration, stretching from September 15 to October 15.
September 15 is also a historically significant day marking the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, that took place on September 15, 1821. Hispanic Heritage Month also recognizes Independence Day celebrations of Mexico (September 16) and Chile (September 18).

Bowl Feeders – MAFU
Pre-sorting, sorting, transporting and delivering parts
MAFU-PA bowl feeders are suitable for pre-sorting, sorting, transporting and delivering parts.
MAFU-PA bowl feeders are designed to the customer's specifications on a 3D CAD system and are manufactured by 5 axis machining.
This allows the plastic vibratory bowl to be flexibly designed and provides the major advantage of reproducibility.
MAFU bowl feeders are suitable for pre-sorting, sorting, transporting and delivering parts.
Thanks to a wide selection of feeder bowls, designs and materials, MAFU bowl feeders can be adapted to any bulk material that needs transporting and to an extremely wide range of jobs and locations.
Thanks to the technical principle of the MAFU 'Big' drum feeder, this feed system allows several feed lines to be set up within a very restricted space. This enables the number of feedlines to be determined according to the desired feed capacity. Either 5 or 6 feed lines are sufficient in most cases, depending on the feed capacity. However, MAFU Automation has already realised feed solutions with up to 43 lines.
The robust MAFU "BIG" drum conveyor is designed for parts such as screws, bolts, sleeves or nails so that even when the feed solution runs in three-shift operation, it can be guaranteed that only minor signs of wear will occur.

bay area fatal dog attack | Northern California Personal Injury Blog
Tragic Dog Attack in San Diego County Leaves Infant Dead
An eight-month-old infant recently lost his life after being attacked by a pit bull, according to a UTSanDiego.com news report. The 27-year-old mother of the infant moved into the West Street apartment in Lemon Grove with a friend who had three male pit bulls, and she states she had no qualms about letting the dogs interact with her son as they "loved him from the beginning." The infant was playing in the living room one evening and then proceeded to crawl into the bedroom where his mother and roommate were, when one of the pit bulls bit the child on the head and then quickly let go.
Authorities who responded to the 9-1-1 call arrived at the apartment and found the injured infant cradled in his mother's arms. Tragically, the young boy died later at the hospital as a result of the injuries. Detectives with the sheriff's department are investigating the incident, and no arrests have been made in the case. The investigation will eventually be turned over to the District Attorney's Office, which will review the case and determine whether or not any charges should be filed.
The grieving mother of the infant expressed disbelief that the dog, who watched over the infant like a "protective parent," ultimately ended the child's life. The pit bulls were impounded at the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility, and the dog that attacked the infant was euthanized shortly after the incident.
The Northern California dog bite attorneys of Balamuth Law understand how dangerous a dog attack can be and the serious, life-threatening injuries a victim may suffer as a result. Dog owners have the responsibility to properly train and socialize their pet, and also to ensure the canine cannot harm others; if they do not, an innocent individual may pay the price.
If you have been the victim of a dog attack caused by the negligence of another party, please contact our experienced legal team to see how we can help you obtain compensation for your injuries. Schedule a free consultation by calling (888) 254-1234.

Big-City Broadcasting in Small-Town Minnesota with Vaddio Camera Systems
Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2011
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (February 23, 2011) – Just because you're based in a small town doesn't mean you can't have big-city ambition. Husband and wife team, Doug and Beth Voss, run the audiovisual system at Grace United Methodist Church in Paynesville, a rural Minnesota town with a population of 2,200. Looking for a unique way to reach the extended Paynesville community they hired Intermedia Systems Group of Burnsville, Minn. to install a complete AV system featuring high definition video displays, a Vaddio HD PTZ remotely controlled camera system and a digital audio sound reinforcement system to back it all up. The Objective "Being ahead of the game was our goal," explained Doug Voss. "We saw what other churches were doing with broadcasts and we didn't want to do a substandard job. Should we use standard definition cameras because that's what everyone else is using or should we plan for the future so when everyone else catches up we'll be ready for it?" Voss and crew had the gumption to foresee the rapid acceptance of high definition taking place. Their main goal was a quality, high definition broadcast of weekly church services for the local cable channel, explained Systems Consultant Joel Evermann of Intermedia. Selling DVDs of weddings, baptisms and special holiday programs would also help subsidize the new AV system. "Members no longer have to hire a videographer for their wedding – or if they do, they know they have a solid 3-camera shot." High Definition Video System The video system includes three WallVIEW CCU HD-18 PTZ cameras: one located on the face of the balcony – front and center, one mounted back in the sanctuary and the "Bride Cam" located behind the alter for capturing the bride as she walks down the aisle. Controlling the cameras back at the head-end is Vaddio's ProductionVIEW HD camera controller and switcher. "We needed pan/tilt/zoom robotics that could be operated easily," explained Evermann, "and this is really the core of why we chose Vaddio for Grace United. Bottom line is that everything from the cameras to the controller, capture device and rack that it's all housed in – it's all Vaddio. It's a totally integrated solution." Currently the Voss's mainly run the two-person operation (Beth controlling the video and Doug manning the audio system), but they are working on transitioning in some volunteers. "ProductionVIEW HD was pretty easy to learn and the kids who have been helping out are even more quick to learn." Knowing when to use the adjustment knobs on the ProductionVIEW HD presented the biggest learning curve for the Voss'. "We had to learn when to use the auto iris knob and when not to use it – especially when we installed the new theatrical lighting. And the garland on the Christmas tree was also making the cameras out of focus, but we adjusted the manual focus on the switcher and it worked great." "Everything has been really well received," explained Voss. "Whenever you do something like this in a traditional church you always wonder if people are going to like it. We've gotten compliments from the local people that the services are easy to watch and they like the transitions. Everything is really smooth and because we are using the Preview monitor, there isn't any jerkiness or fast zooming in, up or down." Ahead of the Digital Game After the Vaddio system was installed and connected to an iMac, the Voss' had all the tools they needed to capture, record and broadcast to the community. Unfortunately the technical capabilities of Grace United far exceed the technological infrastructure of the community. "They keep asking us when the Public Access stations are going to go high def," Joel chuckled. "And forget just capturing services, weddings and holiday programs for cable access. They wanted to broadcast high definition over the Internet." The fastest clear wire connection in town doesn't even allow the capability to push content to the web – so for now its just standard definition over the local cable channel and DVDs. "Grace United is more technologically advanced than the town. When the town is finally ready for high definition, Doug and Beth will already be there with archives and archives of video waiting to be shared." ### About Vaddio: Vaddio is the leading manufacturer and OEM distributor of specialty PTZ cameras and high-end camera control systems used in the broadcasting, audio/visual and videoconferencing industry.

3 Reasons To Look Forward To Retirement
After years of meeting people through work and connecting with others every day, it's understandable that you might be concerned about how retirement might affect your ability to enjoy life and socialise. There are plenty of reasons why you may be hesitant about retiring, but with a little bit of preparation, you can make your golden years the best years of your life.
Here are a few reasons why you should look forward to retirement.
Build on your healthy habits
Retiring at any age means that you'll have a clear and open schedule, so why not invest some time into building on your healthy habits?
Regular exercise is one of the best general methods someone can do for their wellbeing as it can greatly improve both their physical and mental health.
Increasing evidence suggests that physical activity can improve the lives of those experiencing mental illnesses that commonly affect older people, such as depression, Alzheimer's, and dementia. In addition, daily physical activity can also work to improve their quality of sleep and mood stability, and can even reduce falls!
Socialise to your heart's content
While it's true that workplace social invitations tend to stop after you retire, that doesn't mean you can't stay in touch or socialise with friends during retirement.
If you're looking to make some new friends, one way to stay social is to volunteer for a local organisation. With options such as the Heart Foundation or St Vincent de Paul, signing up with an organisation is a great way to make friends while giving back to the community.
Now that you have an open schedule, you can also start to visit your close friends and family more frequently. If your grandchildren need a babysitter, why not use it as a bonding opportunity?
If you live far away from your grandchildren, try and arrange to meet a friend for lunch once a week, or ask another to come with you to a social function at a local club.
Pursue new hobbies
Always wanted to learn an instrument or learn how to paint? Now's your chance. Learning a musical instrument or taking art lessons is a great way to keep your mind sharp, and is a fantastic activity to beat the boredom.
Running your own small business to sell homemade delicacies is another popular avenue many retirees take to fill their time. It's also a great way to earn additional income.
For those of us used to the routine and stability of working life, it can be hard to transition into retirement when the time comes. That being said, when done right, retiring can be one of the best times in your life!

WCPA Credo: United Behind The Earth Constitution
We struggle in solidarity for a transformed future
The ideal of a united, loving, and democratic human civilization upon the Earth brings us all together in a quest that transcends the personal details of our individual lives. We are together in hope, vision, and struggle for a decent future for humankind. We are together in our struggle against involuntary poverty, all forms of exploitation, all forms of war, injustice, corruption, and dehumanization.
We each have insight into the immense, mysterious dignity that all human beings share as self-aware manifestations of some cosmic purpose, from a source and meaning perhaps beyond our comprehension. Yet this dignity and our immense human potential are clear and compelling. We are united in our commitment to promote and enhance that dignity through bringing democracy, law, friendship, equality, and loving cooperation to human affairs everywhere on Earth.
We are together in our insight that the Constitution for the Federation of Earth is a key to the transformation of human civilization. It unites the nations, the races, the religions, and cultures of the world under the principle of unity in diversity, ending war, and ushering in a fulfillment of our common humanity never before seen in human history. We see that the design of the Earth Constitution brings humanity beyond its former and present fragmentation into a truly new era of wholeness, cooperation, justice, peace, and sustainability.
Each of us has experienced in his or her own way the crying injustice of involuntary poverty for both people and nations. Each of us has understood in his or her own way the stupidity and evil of war and senseless violence. Each of us has seen the threat to human existence in the on-going collapse and destruction of our planetary biosphere. We are one in our struggle against these evils and we are one in our vision of a transformed world that eliminates involuntary poverty, ends war, transcends violence, and restores ecological harmony to the beautiful planet on which we live.
We understand that Earth Constitution functions both as a symbol of that transformation and as a means by which it can be achieved. We applaud the many statements of justice, peace, and sustainability found around the world today. But we understand that ideals alone are not sufficient to bring us to a new era. Our fragmented nation-state system and entrenched economic institutions must be transformed through a concrete design for a truly holistic civilization. Ideals can only be achieved through concrete blueprints for system-change. That is the role of the Earth Constitution. System-change and consciousness-change go hand in hand, united within this Constitution.
Our common quest and our solidarity transform each of us as well. The more we commit to the cause of a transformed world system under the Constitution for the Federation of Earth the more each of us is called to become a living embodiment of our ideal. Our commitment and our passion ennoble us. We become ever-greater embodiments of unity in diversity, of love, of justice, and of friendly embrace of one another and of people from every corner of our tiny planet Earth.
Together we can lead humankind to fulfillment and victory. Divided we are helpless before the forces of greed, injustice, war, and destruction. In solidarity of vision and spirit we embody not just the few that we are. We embody the telos of history, the higher purpose and spirit of humanity, the quest implicit in all the great religious and humanistic traditions. The Earth Constitution is not simply another noble document or option within the cacophony of human voices. It is the key to actualizing our higher human potential, to becoming what we are and truly could be.

I'm nearly the opposite; I can only write/read nonfiction… I am not a big history nut, nor do I need to ponder the un-answerable—now, I do enjoy thinking about it, and maybe even talking about it, I just haven't found the joy in reading about it… except for you blog that is.ReplyDelete
I like your opinions and that of you commenter's, it always worth stopping by here.
Thx for the post.
Indeed! Novels are just stories. Non fiction, well written, is not only readable and enlightening but changes things.ReplyDelete
Hi, Jeff. I guess I don't like to read the theories that much either. But I do enjoy a good story, fiction or nonfiction, doesn't matter. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Thank you Adullamite. I really enjoyed your post about the airfields. I hope people go and look at your blog.
Agreed. (Calm down, I'm not on meds.)ReplyDelete
In fact, a good storyteller is AT LEAST as important - if not more so - for narrative nonfiction than for fiction because they are more restricted. Far too often, a nonfiction writer gets carried away (from the truth) or ends up being dry as dust. That happy medium - entertaining but factual - is a rare but wonderful thing.
Although I favor fiction, (including historical fiction if it involves accurate history) I have a few items of narrative fiction with great pleasure, but it's different for me on how I choose. For fiction, I tend to read an author I like to death. For non-fiction, I have to be interested in the person/event beforehand.
I am a reading buff too. Can be anything but I just have to have something to read. Love your blog. Please do visit my blog and leave your footprints behind by posting comments:-ReplyDelete
Hmmmmm..... I'm in between writing classes and thought I'd stop by, how appropriate that the day I stop I get another lesson. And what the hell? You changed the name of your blog again? Now I have to change it on my blog roll.....again. You know I don't have time for this.ReplyDelete
@Stephanie Barr- Did you think this song was about you? Actually it wasn't a rant about fiction, it was a piece that told what I personally like to write and read. I didn't get much into the hazards of narrative nonfiction ("memoirs" are the worst of the lot) and you rightly recognize that much of narrative nonfiction is fiction. Some are the honest lies of a faulty memory, but fiction, nonetheless.ReplyDelete
@Nilofer - Thank you for visiting. Thank you very much. :)
@Sue - You can't stay away for weeks on end and then just stick your head in the door and say hmmmmm as if you read the post. You don't have to change your blogroll. I've decided not to change the actual URL anymore. I may change the title of the blog monthly, though. That will depend on whether or not I come across any interesting pictures I would prefer in my header. I am getting more and more shallow as I go along. I am glad you took that writing course. I hope you taught them a thing or two.
RM, I didn't take it that way at all. I thought you were just saying what you liked and more power to you.ReplyDelete
What a bore it would be if we all had exactly the same tastes, same interests, same thoughts, same beliefs...
@Stephanie Barr - You are mellowing out, I think. You never used to let me say what I thought. :)ReplyDelete
"You never used to let me say what I thought. :)"ReplyDelete
That doesn't make any damn sense. :) How could I stop you? (Not to mention, why would I want to?)
Not that I object to being mellow.

1. It is a Breakthrough Process Designed for the way the Female Mind Operates
There is no such thing as a uni-sex brain. Our female brain makes us process our world differently and that is scientifically proven.
Let's face it, logically we know it doesn't make sense to not love ourselves. We put others first all the time and think we are not good enough or good looking enough, it just seems to come naturally, doesn't it? We know it makes no sense not to 'action' our dreams but DO we? Tell us 1000 times we are beautiful, but if we feel inadequate at a deep level, it will not change us. "Every day in every way I get better and better", you may say as an affirmation to yourself. But if your self-esteem is low, this is just not going to shift you at your core. We've been needing a process just for us that considers the fact that women don't process information in a linear, spacial, logical or cognitive manner for our deepest female life problems. WE HAVE DEVELOPED A PROCESS THAT WORKS JUST FOR US! This is exactly why CREATRIX® works, and is the primary tool used in our solution for women which is a complete education model for success.
So here is what we've considered in the innovation of this amazing female breakthrough process:
The female brain has 23% more connectivity between left and right brain hemisphere's. This is important for many reasons. We can utilise both hemisphere's for language, males usually left side only (shown in brain MRI scans). Our lymbic (emotional centre) system is much larger and the long list of differences entirely explain our different needs in health (especially mental and emotional). This also explains how we address our our female life issues, inner blockages and even education. Traditional education appeals to and is designed for the left brain modalities and the right brain has been virtually left out. We don't see emotional control or how to deal with very real life issues being taught to children in school. We see mathematics, logic, and facts taught in most educational systems and in most problem solving activities.
It's the last things necessary for life happiness but great if you want to get a job based on those skills or you have a very logical builder/fixer type brain – like most males! Building and maintaining relationships at work, romantic relationships, parenting relationships and solving emotional problems have been left out of the equation. Well not anymore! Males and females are equally important, it's just that we each need to be considered uniquely when it comes to our gender hard-wiring. We must have GENDER-SPECIFIC solutions rather than a "one size fits all" approach. There are many similarities between the two genders, sure, but the differences affect EVERYTHING for a female from decision making to feeling valued and important.
Male brain activity and female brain activity is very different when under an MRI scan. When a couple do a simple thing like watch a movie together, the brain activity in each is very different. What we see and what they see and what matters to each gender is as different as what the brain scan (Dr Amen Brain Clinics) shows. The female mind is not all that logical, not for the majority of women. We add emotions into our decision making which makes most existing solutions and breakthrough processes fail with women. This also causes us to see things far from what they really are at times, especially if we carry past emotions that we add as a layer to our perception. The more fear, rejection, hurt, abuse, failure and disappointment that we've experienced, the further we are from letting go and enjoying a quality life. We need more than just positive affirmations to change these deep-rooted emotional issues.
In regards to UNCONSCIOUS MIND… The female unconsciousness is that of a 'creator' of life – because that's exactly what she is! The parts of her that seem to be a small element making her different from a man in fact might be small in past perception but it matters in everything she does. It totally affects the way she perceives and goes about life. Her brain has more white matter (the part that generates energy/electrical charge). Her left and right brain are bound with 23% more dense white matter.
This is massive when we are talking about changing our life or breaking the cycle. The negative emotions HAVE to be removed from the past to be able to move forward freely and positively. Otherwise you stay in your patterns and can't be assisted by CBT, NLP (male minds modelling the mind, um how do they model the unconsciousness that we have which can create and grow life within itself, if they are not a female?) and other processes that don't consider the gender processing difference. A brain is a brain, an unconscious mind is an unconscious mind. Well, not really. Ours has extra bits to worry about operating and we believe this is for a very important reason. We are not MEANT to be too logical, so trying to be that way can cause us much stress which just ensures the cycle continues. Our process is designed to BREAK THE CYCLE, allowing a chance to create a new cycle of success and peace of mind.
2. Lightning speed results
Approaching the entire issue of the breaking cycles meant we had to open our minds to believing that there was a way of getting these results, so we re-viewed what was the female mind having to do and programmed to do and how did it get itself into that state. Then we used its own processing way back on itself to undo this problem. Marylin Schirmer our founder and creator of CREATRIX™ wonders why has no one else realized this before or asked these new questions of problems most don't even recognise exist. We bought into the common analogy and beliefs that females were complicated and therefore assumed 'they' were right. Or we just weren't becoming successful or happy from current models because we weren't 'actioning' what was being taught. Heck, most women know WHAT to do, there is more to it though as to why they are not doing it. We were just misunderstood and trying to use a different processing software but our hardware has struggled to operate effectively because of this.
So our process is a matter of closing your eyes and you have all of your past negative attachments to experiences in life detached. 6 hours is the maximum time it takes. Now that's pretty amazing! But it's not just letting go, their are life lessons that come through to fill the void and you simply feel complete and much much wiser.
3. Genetic conditioning memory clearing
The science of EPIGENETICS played a major part in the design of CREATRIX® as we knew as far as 2000 years ago suppression existed so was it passed on to us through our genes? The new science of EPIGENETICS says yes, that is exactly what is happening. Not being a scientist was a benefit for Marylin Schirmer because she didn't have the pre-conceived limiting stuck origins of beliefs such as 'we are genes therefore unchangeable' or that 'we are meat, therefore you cannot change it by something like thoughts or other unseen intervening. She knew EPIGENETICS made the most sense (please study our page to see videos that explain this further) so Maz ensured the process design would have to cater for the fact females might actually carry suppression outside of her own awareness, or original creation of her problem. This fully helps ensure the process will work on young girls that struggle mentally and yet have lived blessed lives and cannot explain it. We wanted to address problems of unknown origin. This process just WORKS everytime and is very thorough, regardless of origin.
4. Pain free and actually Beautiful to Experience
That's it, it's enjoyable. Your eyes are closed and we use 'story' as a framework.
5. Money Back Guarantee
(Ask your local psychologist, therapist or healer for one and see if they offer it) but we make no medical claims and don't give any medical advice) We do not work on psychotic or mental illness. Just women struggling with their lives not being how they want them to be and struggling with anger, hurt, resentment, sadness, fear, anxiousness, not letting go of past issues, and basically feeling limited and struggling to move forward in business or personal life. They simply are blocked and we get you back to flow, deep at your core.
6. Evolutionary 'core' breakthrough BONUS BENEFITS
Unconscious learning's that release past blockages and evolve the women into the highest tier of conscious awareness (according to Dr Clare W. Graves Evolutionary Value-based Spiral Dynamics) that assists a woman to have an incredibly powerful, positive and effective impact on her family, society, future generations AND the planet. This activates the natural feminine hormones such as Oxytocin which show up as 'love', compassion, bonding, empathy and others in the body for maximum magnetic energy production and generation, instead of 'stress' hormones that block us from creating a compelling future. Thus enabling women to live according to their highest values and self-respect, and bringing forth the evolutionary process to create a next generation without past inherited blockages).
So this is why Creatrix® works… It sounds amazing because IT IS!

#4 Work Out Those Kinks
Rome wasn't built in a day, and your hosting craft won't be honed in one either. It takes time, practice and many many hiccups to achieve that imagine of "winging it" live on air. The trick to becoming a polished host is to practice. That is the only way to get better. Furthermore, you will make mistakes, and that's fine. Just beside you don't make them in front of a huge audience. In other words, make all of your mistakes while no one is watching. Self recording is one way to do this. Volunteering for some small project is another. Be sure to record yourself, then go back and watch those recordings. Did you fidget with your hands? Did your voice crack? Did you stumble? If the answer to any of these is yes- congratulations! You have just caught your own mistakes. Then next time you record, you'll be more cognizant of these and other little things, and by observing them, and correcting tiny flaws, you not only begin to work out your kinks, you begin to get more comfortable with yourself. Now get out there and put in some work!

You want to be athletic. You want to practice a variety of movements. You want to be fit, healthy, strong, fast, and dominant. You want it all! So do I. So here is a good program to do everything under the sun, but not everyday, and not every week. We will move things around, try to progress sensibly, and not get too crazy about being everything all the time but still put a focus into getting strong, fast, agile and well conditioned athletes. There will be a good bit of variety and it should be very fun. I will plan to do several other programs like this one, so I will just call this program GPP1. It will be an eight week program before we back off, with 4-5 training days per week. Let's get started. This is where it gets good. If there is an exercise you can not perform, do not cry about it, just find a sensible alternative. When in doubt, squat or do burpees.

1. 2 kb clean and press 5x5
2. front squat 5x3
3a. handstand pushups 4 x submax

Farmers in Northern Ireland have been encouraged to buy local grain as it makes 'good business sense' to have a shorter supply chain.
The Ulster Farmers' Union (UFU) have highlighted the message to spur on Northern Irish livestock farmers to buy local grain.
From a marketing perspective, the union said it adds provenance to a product when a farmer can say his or her animals are fed with locally sourced NI Farm Quality Assured grain.
Not only is it good for business, it also benefits the environment, as buying locally grown grain will help to reduce a farm businesses carbon footprint and also boost its environmental credentials.
It comes as the issue of climate change and the environment are seen as major concerns at the moment for the farming industry.
UFU beef and lamb chairman, Sam Chesney said: "Buying local means you can deal directly with local businesses and growers, I encourage those with grain and those who need grain to do business over the coming weeks and furthermore put in place plans for longer-term supply chain arrangements.
"I would encourage beef and lamb farmers who are looking to purchase grain to support their arable neighbours and buy direct from them. Talk to local grain growers and discuss your needs and possible options," he said.
The UFU also said that buying local grain is a 'win-win' for both livestock and arable farmers, and it injects cash into the rural economy.

Moab Easter Jeep Safari - N38 34.42' W109 32.96'
The 38th Annual Easter Jeep Safari
Related Video
If you found yourself at the coordinates listed in the title in early April, then you were amongst thousands of exuberant four-wheel fanatics in Moab. To some folks, Moab is the quintessential magical land of red-rock 4x4 trails and vivid landscapes. The 2004 Easter Jeep Safari brings four-wheelers from across the country and around the globe.
For the past 38 years, Red Rock 4-Wheelers has done a great job coordinating the Easter Jeep Safari (EJS). The safari has become one of the year's premier four-wheel events for enthusiasts and aftermarket manufacturers alike. EJS offers participating adventurers more than 30 organized trail runs to chose from with ratings from one to five. This gives participants of every skill level the opportunity to experience this awesome land. The Red Rock club goes to great lengths to prepare for the event and mark the trails, working closely with the BLM and private landowners. Its steadfast dedication to the event, to the sport of four-wheeling, and to responsible land use are instrumental to the survival of EJS and 'wheeling in the area.
EJS is great for Moab's economy and four-wheel enthusiasts, and it's unfortunate that the entire area and sport are under attack from environmental extremists looking to shut our sport down. On April 2, just before this year's event, Red Rock 4-Wheelers successfully defeated in court an attempt to keep four-wheelers off the Strike Ravine Trail.
Of course the environment needs to be protected, but we in the West certainly don't want to find ourselves besieged with legislation dictating that we can only 'wheel on private land. This is the very scary outcome when fanatical environmentalists impose their will upon you. In some East Coast states, you can't 'wheel on anything but private land. So much for the term public lands.
For our sport to survive, it's imperative that we four-wheelers follow the regulations already in place and 'wheel responsibly. We know this isn't always fair or fun, but we don't want to make the situation any worse. When visiting areas such as Moab, stay on the designated trails and don't litter. Remember: What we may consider harmless fun, militant environmentalists will consider a travesty and will do everything in their power to exploit our errors.
Hopefully, Moab and other four-wheel meccas will be open for our enjoyment, our children's, and for many generations to come. Get involved and help fight for the right to 'wheel on public lands by contacting your local four-wheel-drive club, or a national association to lend your support.

If you are the lucky one to advance to the ACM-ICPC World Finals, one of the situations you will face is the world finals competition itself. Wait, isn't that the main reason to go there?
In the beginning of each ACM-ICPC competition, there are two separate goals each team tries to accomplish:
To evaluate the performance of all teams in detail, we want to test your abilities for each of these two goals separately. This problem deals with the former goal (finding the easiest problem), the latter one (solving it) is analyzed in another problem (easy).
The main trouble with comparing problem difficulty is that the opinions of different people may vary. To satisfy everyone, we need to find some consensus. Let's start with determining all problems on which the opinions agree.
Your team is given a set of ICPC problems. Each team member sorts all of the problems in the order of their expected difficulty. Then we want to find all pairs of problems such that their relative order is the same according to all given orderings.
The input contains several tasks. Each task starts by one line containing single integer N, 2 ≤ N ≤ 150 000, the number of problems to consider.
After that, there are three blocks, each of them describing opinion of one team member. (ICPC teams have three members, right?) Every block specifies an arbitrary permutation of N numbers 1 ...N representing the problems. You should know from the school that the word "permutation" means each of the numbers will appear exactly once in each block.
Each block starts on a new line. For presentation reasons, the numbers inside a block may be split among any number of lines. If there are more than one number per line, they will be separated by at least one space. Empty lines may occur before and after blocks. The last task is followed by a line containing zero.
For each task, print one line containing a single integer number: the number of all pairs of problems, whose mutual order is the same in all three permutations.
Please note that the result may be as high as N·(N−1)/2 and may therefore exceed 232.

Henderson-based company, Civmec, has entered into a contract to build key components of the Swan River Pedestrian Bridge.
- Locally based company, Civmec, awarded contract to build Swan River Pedestrian Bridge
- New approach will maximise local jobs, creating about 250 jobs for Western Australians
- Target completion date of March 2018 remains achievable
Today, the State Government and head contractor York Rizzani Joint Venture signed a sub-alliance agreement with Civmec for the fabrication of the bridge components.
The new agreement brings Civmec into the Swan River Bridge Alliance, which also includes Main Roads Western Australia and York Rizzani Joint Venture.
The Alliance, using Civmec's expertise, will manage the steel fabrication, painting of the arches and decks and their transportation to the Swan River Pedestrian Bridge construction sites.
The new program of works relies on Civmec organising the services of other local companies and workshops to assist with the fabrication and shop detailing.
The target completion date for the bridge of March 2018 remains achievable, and there are financial incentives in place for York Rizzani Joint Venture to meet that date.
The cost of locally manufactured steel is estimated to be $25 million, forming part of the budget for the $83 million bridge construction. As outlined in June, new site assembly costs will also be incurred.
The steel deck and arch components of the bridge were originally being manufactured in Malaysia by York Rizzani Joint Venture's previous subcontractor Toyota Tsusho.
However, that subcontract was terminated after Toyota Tsusho failed to deliver bridge components within the repeatedly extended deadlines.
After ongoing disputes, York Rizzani Joint Venture terminated the subcontract and will remain liable for any claims from Toyota Tsusho regarding the subcontract.
Comments attributed to Transport Minister Rita Saffioti:
"The signing of Civmec represents a significant step forward compared to the contract we had inherited upon entering government.
"In the process of renegotiation, we have managed to create about 250 local jobs and have gained a clearer line of sight on the delivery of the project.
"While the steel fabrication is challenging and complex, and there is a risk that the target completion date may not be met, the advice we have received is that the March schedule can work.
"With the works undertaken locally, there will be detailed management and monitoring by the project team with a fully collaborative approach to risk management and issue resolution.
"We share York Rizzani Joint Venture's view that their new arrangements provide a more reliable basis for successfully completing the project than previously, and the decision to enlist local industry to get the job done was the best way forward."

Seeds of Success: The Oliphant Family
Like many young families in their 30's, Beth Ann and her husband Joe found themselves eager to start their family. While Beth Ann knew how infertility had impacted friends, her own story of parenthood was just beginning.
When the couple noticed difficulty getting pregnant, and eventually experienced a loss, they decided to follow the advice of a friend and made an appointment at RADfertility.
Reflecting on making the decision to move forward with the appointment, Beth Ann remembers thinking of her parents' mindset about infertility. "What is meant to be, is meant to be," they would say. But that wouldn't be her story. She was determined to dig deeper, and through years of highs and lows, her family would not only write their own story, but also help others going through infertility write theirs too.
The First Step
Beth Ann and Joe started their journey with RADfertility in 2010. Beth Ann, already in her early 30's, was growing increasingly anxious knowing that as women get older their chances of getting pregnant steadily decline. But her first visit with RADfertility gave her the hope she needed.
Dr. Barbara McGuirk discussed the next steps to find out what was going on and the pair talked about the importance of a healthy diet.
Beth Ann Oliphant
"I got the impression that Dr. McGuirk was a firm believer that what you put in your body affects everything in your body."
Following Dr. McGuirk's instructions, Beth Ann went on a healthy diet and did the recommended tests. Joe also underwent testing.
Beth Ann was diagnosed with having mild endometriosis and polyps through hysteroscopy and underwent laparoscopic surgery to correct the issue.
A Spontaneous Miracle
After the surgery, Beth Ann went on medication to increase ovulation, but when her husband got deployed, she decided to stop all the medication. Upon Joe's return, Beth Ann became pregnant spontaneously and nine months later, in February of 2012, a healthy boy, Briton, was born.
Hoping to add to their family, the Oliphants tried to get pregnant once again. "We tried to get pregnant pretty soon after Briton and nothing was happening," Beth Ann recalled.

Back To RADfertility
Around Briton's first birthday, Joe Oliphant was away again but this time for a two-year pilot training. Beth Ann went on Clomid and scheduled visits with Joe around ovulation. However, after three rounds of the medication, the couple found themselves unable to conceive again. Remembering what had worked with Briton, the Oliphants decided to return to RADfertility.
At that appointment, an IUI cycle was suggested, but it ultimately didn't result in a pregnancy. The next step was IVF.
For most, making the decision to undergo a more advanced treatment such as IVF is considerable, but Beth Ann and Joe tried to remain positive and excited as they moved forward.
Sadly, their first embryo transfer did not take. A light at the end of the tunnel came during the couple's second embryo transfer, when they became pregnant with Amelia, and welcomed her to the world on November 25, 2016.
Support Through a Fertility Support Group on Facebook
When an invitation to join an online fertility support group arrived in her Facebook notifications one day, Beth Ann found herself intrigued. For years, she had faced infertility, but found it difficult to find other women to connect with over some of the most difficult parts of her journey. This new Facebook group, was a growing network for women to discuss infertility openly, and share their stories in the hope of providing support for each other. Beth Ann accepted!
Beth Ann Oliphant
"Facebook support groups are phenomenal and I feel like a lot of the women on them are in the early stages – some are just getting ready for transfers or just had a transfer, or they just started their fertility journey. It's kind of neat because I get to relive it a little bit and think about my own journey and share with them encouraging thoughts or my own experiences."
A Family of Five, Hoping To Help Others
Beth Ann reminisced about the birth of her third child, Judah. "I was a little hesitant before Judah because I had two losses before two pregnancies so I thought this was a pattern my body was on." But this time proved to be different and Beth Ann's embryo transfer was successful.

Beth Ann Oliphant
"Judah was born January 24, 2019. My husband was away at military training. I got to pull him out and cut the cord!"
After Judah, Beth Ann and Joe were faced with the difficult decision of what to do with extra embryos in storage from their IVF cycle. It was a lot to consider, but the couple was leaning towards donation.
Beth Ann acknowledges, "It's kind of weird when you think your biological children could be out there somewhere." However, when the time came, she explained to Joe that she had come to terms with making the donations because it would give other couples suffering with infertility the chance to create life. The chance to at least carry a child. Beth Ann appreciates that science has made it amazingly possible for her to have the option to carry her own child, but also to offer that same experience to another woman.
The Oliphants donated a total of 11 embryos that went to three different families.
Beth Ann Oliphant
"The greatest thing we could do for somebody is to give them a baby."
Phenomenal Staff
Reflecting on the RADfertility team that supported her during her journey, Beth Ann describes everyone as being "phenomenal." She stated that staff acted like family who are happy to see you, listen to what you have to say, and keep in touch.
Beth Ann Oliphant
"They are the ones that understand completely what you are going through. They explain things in layman's terms. It's a big group, but it doesn't feel like a big group. Everybody that works there is passionate about what they do."
For women who are facing fertility challenges but don't know where to start, Beth Ann recommends RADfertility because of their professionalism and personalized treatment of each woman.
Beth Ann tells women to "Just go and listen, bring your questions, be patient and trust the process."

From fun giveaways to updates on state-of-the-art technology we are using to improve patient success, our blog puts the news in perspective for our patients.
Peggy Sue O.
"I feel so lucky to have found RADfertility. I tried two other clinics before I expanded my search and found RADfertility. I drive an hour each way to go to them but I don't regret a thing. They are so caring and so professional. Every time I message them they respond quickly. Every time I see them they have a friendly smile and warm welcome. They explain everything so well and I never feel lost in the process as I did elsewhere. They also took the time to figure out what was wrong. Other clinics threw up their hands, said 'I don't know' and pushed me to try IVF."
"Dr. Feinberg and the entire staff at RADfertility are absolutely amazing. The receptionists, coordinators, nurses, and lab staff are compassionate, caring, and straight forward. I've had a 12-year infertility journey and I've tried other clinics but RADfertility was the only one I felt at ease with. They answered any questions that I had and were there any time I needed them. My coordinator, Amy, was the absolute best and always had my back. Dr. Feinberg's dedication to his patients is incredible. You are not just a number there, you are a person with individualized needs and care."
Anupama P.
"The RADfertility team gives you so much emotional support and positivity that it adds to your strength and keeps you focused on the end goal - a healthy and happy baby."
Samantha G.
"My journey with RADfertility and Dr. McGuirk started when my husband and I were trying to conceive and were having difficulty. We went to RADfertility, where we met Dr. McGuirk. I always say she changed my life and 'fixed' me. Dr. McGuirk is always learning more about endometriosis and how to help her patients. She's brilliant and truly cares for you! I'm eternally grateful to her and everyone at RADfertility for their unwavering support, love, and care."
Annette D.
"Every step of our journey was tailored to us. We were treated so respectfully. Every detail was clearly explained and we felt so comfortable. Rhonda Wright was a Godsend and inspiring. I highly recommend this place! I cried when my weekly appointments were done and I 'graduated.'"
Christie B.
"The staff and doctors are amazing. It will feel like home every time you walk in the door. They gifted us with our miracle baby and we couldn't be happier. I will always recommend RADfertility above all others!"
Shannon M.
"RADfertility's staff has heart and provided me with exceptional health care. I knew I was in good hands and felt like we were in this together. The doctors and nursing staff always answered all of my questions and provided thorough information about all of my options. I am so fortunate and appreciative of the care that I received at RADfertility. They go above and beyond."
Megan L.
"I cannot begin to explain how wonderful RADfertility is. We were frustrated with trying to start a family and it not working for us. The entire team of doctors and nurses made us feel comfortable and hopeful that we would be parents. We experienced so many ups and downs but we never felt like we were on our IVF journey alone, we had our RADfertility team every step of the way. If you're looking for a supportive team on the IVF journey, look no further. RADfertility is the absolute best."
Anonymous on FertilityIQ
"Dr. Schillings always kept us informed and never gave up on us. She always explained our options and risks with each procedure. She called us personally when there were any issues or sensitive subjects to cover. Dr. Schillings was the first doctor that had answers for us and wanted to help us have our miracle baby!"

Grading pharyngeal cancer
Grading describes how the cancer cells look compared to normal, healthy cells. Knowing the grade gives your healthcare team an idea of how quickly the cancer may be growing and how likely it is to spread. This helps them plan your treatment. The grade can also help the healthcare team predict future outcomes (your prognosis) and how the cancer might respond to treatment.
To find out the grade of pharyngeal cancer, a pathologist looks at a tissue sample from the pharynx (throat) under a microscope. They look at how different the cells look from normal cells (called differentiation) and other features of the tumour such as the size and shape of the cells and how the cells are arranged. They can usually tell how fast a tumour is growing by looking at how many cells are dividing.
The pathologist gives pharyngeal cancer a grade from 1 to 3. A lower number means the cancer is a lower grade.
Low-grade cancers have cells that are well differentiated. The cells are abnormal but look a lot like normal cells and are arranged a lot like normal cells. Lower-grade cancer cells tend to grow slowly and are less likely to spread.
High-grade cancers have cancer cells that are poorly differentiated or undifferentiated. The cells don't look like normal cells and are arranged very differently. Higher-grade cancers tend to grow more quickly and are more likely to spread than low-grade cancers.

Yasutomo Orthodox Calligraphy Brushes
Unlike brushes for watercolor, oil and most other paint brushes, Sumi brushes are composed of two separate parts. The central core, which determines the height and basic function of the brush, is made of relatively stiff hairs gathered to form a tapered point. The outer wrapping consists of softer hairs which are selected for their greater water-holding capacity and for facilitating smooth strokes. The hairs of the inner core and of the outer wrapping are the same length and come to a point when dipped into water. The hair structure of Yasutomo Orthodox Calligraphy Brushes ensures smooth maneuverability and dynamic strokes whether light or heavy pressure is applied.
Sizes (Hair Width and Length):
- CA1 – 1/4″ (w) x 1″ (l)
- CA2 – 9/32″ (w) x 1 1/16″ (l)
- CA3 – 5/16″ (w) x 1 3/8″ (l)
- CA4 – 3/8″ (w) x 1 7/8″ (l)
- CA5 – 7/16″ (w) x 2 1/8″ (l)
