Photo galleries: Oregon drops Montana, Idaho defeats Alaska
SAN BERNARDINO – It took only two games for one of the top pitchers to emerge at Al Houghton Stadium at the West and Northwest region tournaments.
Left-hander Tyler Oldenberg of North Boise, Idaho, mowed through the Gastineau Channel Little League team from Juneau, Alaska, on Friday, striking out 12 in 42/3 innings of relief – retiring all 14 batters he faced – as Idaho won 7-1 in its first game of the Northwest Region tournament.
"That might be an extraordinary performance for around here because these are all all-stars and state champions, but that was normal for us," Idaho manager Jamison Chochrek said.
Oldenberg struck out 16 in a regular-season game this season, but with Idaho clinging to a 2-1 lead and the tying run at third base in the second inning, Chochrek removed starter Will Bjerke.
Oldenberg then struck out the next two batters to end the inning, then sent the Alaska side down in order in the third through sixth innings.
Oldenberg faced 14 batters. Only two Alaska players put the ball in play – Shane Mielke grounding out to shortstop to lead off the third and Jared Markovich hitting a comebacker to end the game.
"Just came out flat," said Alaska manager Andrew Markovich, who said his team has seen a pitcher the caliber of Oldenberg before. "Maybe it was the heat. We're still adjusting to the climate. But we just came out flat all the way through. We're a way better hitting team than that."
Chochrek said there was a debate between him and his coaching staff about whether to pull Oldenberg before he threw more than 35 pitches to preserve him for Sunday's game against Oregon. Under Little League rules, if a pitcher throws 35 or fewer pitches, he has to rest at least one day.
"We kept going back and forth about pulling him at 35 pitches, but Juneau kept the game tight," Chochrek said. "There would have been a danger that if we pulled him, Juneau could have come back, so we burned Tyler because Juneau was that good."
Oldenberg finished with 62 pitches and cannot pitch again until Tuesday.
Idaho finished with eight hits, with Connor Chochret hitting a two-run single to highlight a five-run third inning. Jake Tanner hit a home run to lead off the second inning for Alaska.
Washington 15, Wyoming 2 (5 innings)
The Northwest Region kicked off with Auburn, Wash., trouncing Laramie, Wyo., thanks to a nine-run fifth inning.
Washington rapped five Wyoming pitchers for 13 hits and scored in double figures for the fifth time in 10 postseason games. Ikaika Nahaku went 2 for 3 with two runs and three RBIs, Hudson Byorick went 2 for 3 with two runs and two RBIs, and Chandler Michalek went 2 for 3 with two RBIs.
Even better for Washington was that the team was able to preserve its pitching with minimal pitch counts under Little League rules.
"That is huge for us," manager Kai Nahaku said.
Casey Manning started and went 21/3 innings for Washington, allowing two second-inning runs and two hits with three strikeouts. Dillon O'Grady gave up two runs and struck out five in 21/3 innings.
"I had a lot of nerves," Manning said of starting the first game of the tournament.
Wyoming didn't help itself with five errors and couldn't get going after scoring two runs in the second inning to trail 4-2. Wyoming got runners on first and second with two out in the third before the inning ended.
Still, even with a convincing victory and the pitching setup, Nahaku isn't ready to say his team is a favorite to make it to Williamsport.
"Not at all," he said. "These are all state champions. They had to beat someone to get here."
Oregon 13, Montana 4
Oregon's Murrayhill Little League exploded for seven runs in the third inning of its Northwest Region opener to reclaim a lead that was briefly taken from it in the top of the third.
Leading a balanced Oregon effort was center fielder Bryce Roesch, the only member of the team from Beaverton with multiple hits as he went 2 for 3 with three runs scored, including one in the decisive third.
After its 2-0 lead in the first inning turned into a two-run deficit in the top of the third, Oregon led 9-4 at the end of its outburst in the bottom of the third.
Roesch tripled and scored in the fifth before Jacob Calo provided the fireworks with a two-run home run off the ambulance in right-center field to balloon the Oregon lead to nine runs.
Montana collected one more hit than Oregon's seven but walked seven Oregon batters, including three bases on balls to Sam Greenwood, Oregon's starting pitcher who allowed two runs on two hits in two innings. Greenwood didn't register a hit but was one of five Oregon players to score at least a pair of runs. The first four batters in Oregon's lineup combined for nine runs scored on just four hits.
Following four Montana runs in the third, including an RBI by first baseman Braydon Deming, who went 2 for 3, Oregon pitchers Cortlandt Nelsen and Cameron Nowack combined for 31/3 shutout innings to close out the game.

FORT WORTH, TX — (Marketwired) — 03/28/16 — RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION (NYSE: RRC) today announced that it has completed the sale of its Bradford County non-operated assets. After purchase price adjustments based upon a January 1st effective date, Range received approximately $110 million of sales proceeds at the closing plus retaining the net cash flow since the effective date. In early February, Range signed a purchase and sale agreement covering its non-operating Marcellus interest in Bradford County, Pennsylvania for approximately $112 million. Range sold an average working interest of 23% covering approximately 10,900 net acres with net production of approximately 22 Mmcf per day.
Range will include the Bradford County operations in its operations until the closing date in its first quarter reported operations. The net proceeds were used to reduce debt and other corporate purposes. This monetization further strengthens the Company's financial position by reducing leverage and enhancing liquidity. After the sale, the borrowing base under Range's revolving credit facility remains unchanged at $3 billion.
RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION (NYSE: RRC) is a leading U.S. independent oil and natural gas producer with operations focused in stacked-pay projects in the Appalachian Basin. The Company pursues an organic growth strategy targeting high return, low-cost projects within its large inventory of low risk development drilling opportunities.

Strange Psychological Facts
Strange Psychological Facts You Should Know about Human Behavior
"A little learning is a dangerous thing . . ." Do you know who first made that statement? No, it wasn't an American politician. It was Alexander Pope during the 18th century.*
I should amend that statement to read: "a little learning is like chicken soup for a cold; it can't hurt." Especially if that learning discloses a few strange and peculiar psychological facts about human behavior.
If you are a writer – or a salesperson – much of this information can assist you to reach and hold your audience. Have I got your attention?
Okay! Here are four strange psychological facts about human behavior:
1) You can remember 3 or 4 things at a time.
Have you heard that you can remember 7 things at a time? Wrong! That is like an urban legend based on a paper authored by a fellow named G. A. Miller who was simply expounding on his unproven theory. He believed that we can remember 7 plus or minus 2 things. In other words, he was saying people can process from 5 to 9 pieces of information at a time.
That is not accurate. A British scientist named Alan Baddeley conducted a series of studies on human memory and concluded that the correct number of things we can remember is 3 to 4 items for about 20 seconds. They will then disappear from our memory unless we repeat them over and over.
You can test this for yourself. Someone gives you a phone number and you don't have a pen and paper so you repeat the number over and over until you can dial the number or write it down. By repeating the number, you put it back into short term memory which buys you another 20 seconds each time.
The interesting thing about phone numbers is that they are more than 3 or 4 numbers long. So they are hard to remember for more than 20 seconds. To solve that problem we break up the ten-digit phone number into three groups with 3 or 4 numbers each.
But there is more. Research scientists in the field of decision-making tell us that people cannot choose effectively between more than 3 to 4 items at a time.
So if you are using Amazon or eBay on your hub or website, display no more than 3 to 4 items in each group of products.
And if you sell products or services for a living, confine your sales approach to 3 or 4 benefits at a time.
2) You can't multi-task.
I know. You think you can multi-task because you are proficient at switching back and forth quickly but you are fooling yourself. Research has shown that we can perform only one cognitive task at a time. We can be reading or we can be typing. We can be reading or we can be talking. We can be reading or we can be listening. One thing at a time.
There is one exception. If you are performing a physical task that you are good at and have done very often, then you can perform that task while you are doing a mental task. Which means if you are walking – not driving! – you can also text on your cell phone. Then again, this may not be an exception. Watch the video of the woman texting on her cell phone while walking in the mall.
Do I hear you asking, 'But doesn't the millennial generation multi-task?' Another urban legend. A Stanford University study published in 2009 found that when subjects were asked to deal with multiple streams of information, they could not pay sufficient attention, could not remember as well, and did not switch tasks as well they thought they would. So do one thing at a time.
The Reptilian Brain
Food, sex and danger all in one
3) You can't resist noticing food, sex or danger.
Why does traffic always slow down when people are driving by an accident? Do you lament the fact that people are attracted by that which is gruesome, and yet you can't resist looking over as you drive by?
We can't resist looking at scenes of danger. It's the old or reptilian part of our brain warning us to pay attention.
Psychologists tell us we have three brains. The new brain is your logical, reasoning brain. The mid brain is the part of the brain that processes emotions, and the "old brain" is the part of the brain that is most interested in your survival.
The old brain developed first and is very similar to the brain of a reptile, which is why it is often called the "reptilian" brain. Its job is to examine your environment and answer these questions: Can I eat it? Can I have sex with it? Will it kill me? That is actually all that the old brain cares about: food, sex or danger.
Think about it. Without food you will die and without sex the species will not continue. And if you are killed the other two questions don't matter. In the beginning, animal brains developed early on to care intensely about these three topics.
As animals (humans) evolved they developed other capabilities – logical thought and emotions. But they retained a part of their brain to always be aware of what is happening regarding these three critical questions.
This means that you just can't resist noticing food, sex, or danger. No matter how hard you try to not notice these three things in your surroundings, you will always notice them. It's the old brain at work.
Of course you do not have to react when you do notice these three things. You do not have to eat a piece of that chocolate bar the moment you see it.
You do not have to flirt with some attractive person you just met.
You do not have to concentrate on that car accident as you pass by. But you will notice all those things whether you want to or not.
If you want to get someone's attention by your writing or at your website, then what better way that to include images of food, sex or danger? You will definitely provoke attention. Trust me.
4) You have selective attention.
The psychological term is inattention blindness. This means that we often miss or not aware of large changes in our visual field.
Do you doubt that? Then watch this video and test your own awareness for yourself.
* "A little learning is a dangerous thing ... drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring; There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again." - Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
The video is an example of what is called inattention or change blindness . The premise is that we often miss large changes in our visual field. Many experiments have been performed proving that this is true.
So what does this mean if you are writing something to be read online? Or designing a website? It means that you cannot simply assume that just because something is on the screen means that people see it. Remember, just because something happens in the visual field doesn't mean that people are consciously aware of it. You may have to use repetition.
So there you have it – four strange and peculiar psychological facts about your behavior that I have emphasized by utilizing strange psychological facts number 1 (you can remember 3 to 4 things at a time), and number 3 (images you can't resist).
Footnote: Since I am older than soil, I know many more strange peculiar psychological facts. If I remain on my meds, I may write Part Two about seeking pleasure and . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Comments for Strange Psychological Facts
The awareness test is very cool. It proves the point.
I have to admit, my eyeballs went right for the chocolate picture. I have no memory whatsoever any more. If I'm in the kitchen cooking, and someone asks me a question or starts telling me about their day, I will literally stand there in a dug state trying to figure out what I was doing. It's sad, really, but that's what my brain has come to. Mush. LOL Thanks for another great article!
Interesting facts. I always thought I was good at multitasking. As for that terrific video - I had to read about the bear, go back and watch the video again, before I saw it. Amazing. Awesome and way up there.
Thanks for the education, Drbj! So, if I want to mess with my readers, I can cram my hubs with ads about food, romance and monsters, 7 or 8 choices each, and all mixed up. I'll let you know what Google Analytics tells me about the HP community's relative survival instincts.
If there were such things as monsters, I'd probably be slain immediately because I'd be standing there with a chocolate bar in my mouth. XD
Awesome. Totally failed the awareness test. Great writing---interesting, fun, and smart. :-)
I love your hub. I found it totally fascinating. I multitask all the time. I always have. Two of my daughter do also and one can only do one thing at a time. Up and awesome.
Hello Drbj. This one was a fascinating and thoroughly interesting read. I learned a lot. Well, maybe 3 or 4 things as that is all I could remember even though I kept repeating Reptilian brain, reptilian brain, reptilian whatever. Now that was food, danger and can't remember that other thing. I cannot imagine how I overlooked this one for so long. Late to the party, forgot where I put the invitation. I've always been inclined to do one thing at a time even in school. Never could study with music playing in the background. In fact, long ago, I never ate two things at a time, finishing each vegetable on my plate in its entirety before starting on the next. Likely, that is why I only counted 12 passes and missed the moonwalker entirely. One track mind that sometimes that gets derailed. You are a superb writer and thanks for the thought provoking hub. Voted up on all counts. Peg
Hi drbj... wowo fact filled and something new to learn each day... thank you for all the hard work on this one...
Hugs from Canada
Well done! My favorite mulitask is to listen to audio books while doing something that does not engage my brain...like housework (yawn) or morning grooming, etc. I heard this somewhere and I guess is slighty revelavant to this hug. "Do not let and education spoil your intelligence"
Thanks for this. I am very new at Huns and delighted to see such intelligent articles. Kudos!
I never knew about these strange facts, thank you for sharing such a great information.
In fact, the human brain can not work in multi-tasking because it is a single brain. It could simulate a work of multi-tasking if it used the technique of time-sharing extremely quickly as do the computers. The computers of today normally work in multitasking and are designed in two major ways: they have a single processor, or have two or more processors (four or eight, etc..). Those who have only one processor work in time-sharing, that is in subsequent fractions of time devoted to each of the tasks that must be performed simulating the contemporaneity. While those with multiple processors actually perform more tasks in parallel.
We just like to cook, not as a living...and my fiancée is a far better cook than I am.
My 3rd oldest has the makings of a pro.
As to the food issue. In a word, NO...even with delicious food I will often take one component of the meal and think, "ya know what this would be good in?" I just really like food...cooking and eating it.
drbj, You are so darn smart. I enjoyed this very interesting article about what our brain can do, but I'm pretty sure I can multi-task. Citing years of news writing to a deadline. And I think there are special people who can remember more than 4 things. I read about a waitress in a pancake place who could take the food orders of a few dozen people at a time, and deliver the food to each one using facial recognition, voice and all kinds of tricks, and she was reknowned for it (I think the article was in National Geographic.) Do you think there may be a few freaks out there who break the mold? Regarding multi-tasking, it is a sure way to burn out (again, speaking from experience). Where the heck were you when I needed you drbj?! Regards, snakeslane
Love the interesting blend of the cerebral and the comedic to deliver a message. We often think we can text or read while listening to someone in conversation, but I've come to realize it isn't so. Although I can be eating and thinking about another food... does that count? Great Hub! Keep Hubbing...
Extremely interesting hub! It's a nice look into human psychology while being humorous as well! Voted up and lots of nice things! :D
Cool, now I know why rambling people who never get to the point put me to sleep ( I just need to know 3 or 4 points period) and I always did wonder about the traffic at accidents sites!
Now to apply this to Hubs!
Thanks! :))))
Well, I paid attention to the number of times the people wearing white passed the ball, but I did miss the moon walking bear. Heavy sigh....
Still love this hub -)
attention catcher, ^_^! interesting... no wonder if comments here will be miles away... ^_^! thanks for sharing!
Not only did I not see the bear,but failed miserably on the count. This was so well done. I found it entertaining, useful and informative! Also, need I not forget, interesting and memorable. I will store it in my long term memory! After being away for so long, it's good to see you're still offering quality articles, my friend! Kathi :O)
Great Hub! From this well written and intriguing primer on primal human behavior, I learned four things about myself; I too suffer from inattention blindness, frequently fall into pools while texting, can only remember 3 to 4 things at one time, and....Hey?!! Where am I and how did I get all wet, and what was number 4????!! Arrrghhhh!
Drat! Now, excuse me while I go dry off.
This was amazing. There is much to consider in your article so I will be bookmarking it to return and reread since I was trying to multitask while reading it. This was extremely interesting and packed with so much that is of importance to us on so many levels. Thanks for sharing. Voted up +++ :) ps

I love this hub, entertaining fun, interesting and of course I didn't see the moon walking bear.
It took me over fifteen minutes to get my wandering attention back out of Youtube following some of the most unusually and bizarre videos I have seen in a long time.
I think from this you can deduce that multitasking is not my strong point in fact I have trouble staying with the single task in hand lol...
Best hub that I have read in a long time voting up and hitting the relevant buttons on my way out :D
Well, my dinner did burn a few times while I was hanging out on Hubpages lol Thanks for the support, though!
Where do you dig these facts up? Does being older than soil help? :D
Just kidding...very interesting, as usual! Been missing your delightful hubs!
I always thought I was great at multi-tasking. Now I'm not that convinced. Great post!
Love this post !!!!! :-)
I absolutely LOVE this stuff! I remember this one thing (haha) from a Child Psych class I took. The instuctor told us little kids can only remember a couple of instructions for a very short and brief period of time (seconds or minutes) and so if I told my child, "go upstairs and get me a book, make your bed and put your PJ's on" by the time they get upstairs they will have forgotten all but one of those instructions!
That little bit of knowledge helped me in so many ways. It made me always think about that when asking them to do things or having my expectations ruined by simple communication errors:)
As I read the title of this article I knew immediately that I agreed with every word. "Strange Psychological Facts" is a fine title in which even the most argumentative of readers will struggle to find fault.
I just thought I should let you know I enjoyed your article and all the repartee interspersed throughout the comments. You are still at the top of my HP read list. Cheers!
I have the girl falling in the pond in one of my hubs too! lol! strange facts, I remember reading that every time they do an advert on tv they always try to combine the three in the advert, even if its about an orange, just watch how they place the oranges! I play that game at home when trying not to throw something at the tv because of the stupid ads ruining a program! check out every ad and see the three things in them, even stuff as silly as milk! lol!
I'm glad you pointed out the pig test as I noticed I didn't see that or some other ones. Again, Older than Dirt. LOL
I'll have Jacob check out the other tests.
Oh yes, the named phone exchanges...Turner, Hillcrest, Orchard (TU, HI, OR)...made it so much easier to remember phone numbers. I also remember the town switchboard operator. All you had to do was pick up your phone and ask her for Dora's house down the street. That was even better! (What's older than soil?)
Delightful hub, as usual!
Hi drbj~my nephew and I just read this and watched the videos. This was a blast to read as well as educational. You know the hub is good when my 16 year old nephew read and watched the whole thing. LOL
He saw thirteen passes in the video and I only saw 10. He also saw the dancing monkey and I didn't. YIKES~probably cause I'm also older than dirt. LOL
Hi drbj - you got me thinking with those numbers. I remember, back in the day, when a phone number was preceded by a word - Tuxedo2 - 8097 or something like that. It was so much easier to remember! Of course no one remembers phone numbers anymore as they are built into our cell phones.
LOL--welll.... I guess the "3 or 4 things" is true, and I suppose it's why I suck at sales. Hubby can sell ice to Eskimos; I'd have trouble selling tissues to someone with a nosebleed! Why? I guess now I know: I tell too much info at once--I was raised to EXPLAIN everything--give the why's and wherefore's... and it turns out that people TUNE out... ::sigh::
As far as the video test--LOL! I got the number right--but while I did not particularly notice the bear--as such, or what it was doing--I did process it as "something in the way of what I was trying to see." So I did see it...just not for what it was.
Voted up, interesting and useful...oh, and shared!
Fascinating. Up and shared... though i did notice the moonwalking bear (after they pointed it to me, I mean ;-)
Very interesting hub. I loved the moon walking bear video which really drove your point home, and also the other clever illustrations.
Voted up across the board.
Very interesting hub!!
Never tire of learning more and more about human behavior....even retired, well, actually, especially since retiring.....but now, about that video. I didn't even see that damned bear the SECOND time......because I counted 12 passes....and when I watched the 2nd time, I was intent on counting the pass I missed!!! Finally, on the 3rd. view, I saw that little bugger!....UP+++
If I may say so, dear drbj, it doesn't surprise me one iota that you were involved in the psychology of advertising. It is an interesting, wildly intriguing topic. Thank you for your detailed response to my comment. Awesome gem of a piece, my friend.
I was writing a report while listening to some music and sipping cup of tea when this brilliant hub caught my eye. I love little learning like you say drbj it cannot hurt. I love this compendium of cornucopia. Food, sex and danger aside, a drbj hub is hard to resist. Bravo, my friend. another winner. Now where did i put the cup of tea?
. . . Without food you will die and without sex the species will not continue. And if you are killed the other two questions don't matter. . . Lol! So astute and so true! It is said that women are better to do multitasking than men. If that is true or not I do not know? Thank you for a fascinating and interesting read!
And here I thought I loved all those beautiful ads in Vogue because they were so artistically intriguing. It's funny drbj, because I now understand, as I read your perfectly written, intriguing information about the human psyche, that it is sex appeal that is the hook in advertising. I went back to my latest copy of Vogue, and, I'll be damned if it isn't so. The ads that hold my interest the longest are the enigmatic photos that hint at subterfuged sexual interest. Food doesn't interest me, and I quickly turn the page looking for the next mysterious beautiful human, be it male or female. I always wonder what they are thinking...probably what they are going to buy with their next outrageous paycheck! I've always known that the most brilliant advertising truly understands human psychology.
Brilliant, as always, drbj. Even though, in the back of my mind, I was subconsciously aware, you make it unquestionably real. I'll never look at Vogue again without thinking about the truth as written by drbj. Promise.
...well one thing that's not strange or psychological is that you are one of the true legends in Hubpage history and here is yet another landmark hub presentation to add to your remarkable resume here of great work - sending you warm wishes and good energy from lake erie time ontario canada 9:24pm and thank you for you infinite wit, charm and enlightenment, as always
A very interesting hub and one that brought a smile and a chuckle.
I actually did notice the bear, I have no idea where he came from but I saw him leaving to the left.
I am laughing at Marties story, which reminded me of the time I had picked the kids up from school, done the shopping and planning dinner, as dumped the shopping in the trunk, bustled the kids in and sat behind the wheel I suddenly realised that I had somehow lost my keys. Luckily I had a spare set in my purse. On arriving home and getting out of the car I spotted them.. still in the door lock. Now why didn't I think to look there. haha. And I thought I was good at multi-tasking.
Awesome job and pushing all the buttons

A standout amongst the most prevalent back rub treatments honed in India, potlis have been utilized as a part of South East Asia, particularly in Thailand, as a characteristic solution for hundreds of years. Potli massage treatment is finished utilizing warmed natural pockets otherwise called potlis (or poultice) that are utilized to restore, unwind and feed the influenced territory. At the point when these potlis are put on the body, they have a remedial impact. All things considered, aren't we searching for those back rubs that recuperates our agony and in addition abandons us feeling revived?
Ayurveda is known to be one of the most seasoned restorative customs in India and potli rub treatment discovers its foundations in this science. Potlis contain a choice of Ayurvedic herbs, both, new and dried, that are deliberately picked in view of your Ayurvedic constitution and the issue that you're being dealt with for. They are then stuffed into a muslin fabric and dunked in warm cured oil (for a wet back rub) or sand or some natural powder (for a dry back rub) and after that massageed onto particular weight focuses that assistance in mending the body. They likewise help invigorate blood flow which advances speedier recuperation and sound skin too.
Our signature Potli Massages take a shot at a deep rooted logic which depends on the intersection of the components of discharge and water joined with particular herbs. At the point when the warmed potli is rubbed on the body, it opens the pores and unwinds the muscles, enabling the deliberately chosen herbs to take a shot at the body and brain, the last being the motivation behind why it is thought of as being exceptionally unwinding. Our masseurs suggest this potli massage for sicknesses, for example, rheumatoid joint pain, spondylitis, solidified shoulders, osteoarthritis et cetera.

If you absolutely HATE McFadden's... just come have a drink or two with us and then dip out to your favorite Wednesday night hang out spot... We won't be offended!
Why #2: Also, it's a bon voyage to Lil DC Diva. She's staying in the blogosphere, but it may be your last chance to meet her because she's moving to the big apple!

Experiencing long bouts of breathlessness or finding it difficult to breathe even while climbing up stairs?
You might have something called Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It is a lung disease which is caused due to poor air flow in the body. This is usually a long-term disease and worsens as time passes by.
COPD is a highly growing disease affecting up to 2 percent of the global population which comes to roughly 175 million people. It usually occurs in people, male and female both who are above the age of 40. In 2015, COPD was the cause of 3.2 million deaths which was 2.4 million in 1990 which equals to 800,000 increase in 25 years.
Reputed pulmonologists have stressed on the early detection of this disease resulting in less severity. The earlier the person detects his breathing problems and consults a doctor, the better it is for them.
Symptoms of COPD:
The symptoms of COPD have a narrow and targeted approach. In most cases, tobacco smoking has resulted in this disease along with constant exposure to harmful air or even toxic atmospheres. Other common symptoms include cough, shortness of breath etc.
Some of the symptoms for COPD are:
- Cough: A cough is the first and foremost symptom to be seen for a COPD. The cough is chronic in nature and it usually persists for more than three months in one year for at least two years. The cough is usually accompanied by sputum production. Continued smoking for long periods of time often result in cough with sputum and is a major cause of COPD.
- Shortness of Breath: Shortness of breath occurs for most people who have COPD. It happens and worsens due to increased exertion for and lasts for long periods of time.
- Other Symptoms: Advanced COPD often results in high pressure on arteries which eventually leads to leg swelling and bulging neck veins. COPD can often occur with a number of other conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, lung cancer and also depression.
The causes of COPD are not many. Some of the main causes of COPD are:
- Smoking: Tobacco smoking is one of the chief reasons for COPD. Of the people who smoke, around 20% of them will have COPD. Most of the people who have COPD currently smoke or have smoked in the past. Studies say that around 20% of passive smokers also have COPD due to the amount of tobacco inhaled from their surroundings. Women are said to be more susceptible to COPD than men.
- Air Pollution: One of the most common environmental issue we face is air pollution. The number of vehicles increasing, more fuels being burned and cutting of trees has resulted in the air to be more polluted than ever. The toxic air we breathe everyday has made the people more prone to get COPD.
- Occupational Exposures: Long exposure to dust, chemical fumes, toxicity in the workplace has proven to result in people being affected by COPD. Around 10-20% of cases of COPD is due to exposure in the workplace.
- Genetics: Studies say that genetics do play a role in the development of COPD in people. In a recent case study, it was determined that around one to five percent of COPD cases were from genetic factors.
Prevention of COPD:
- Reduction of Smoking: For the people who smoke often, a reduction in the frequency and the quantity often helps in the reduction of the symptoms of COPD. COPD is usually a lifelong process and it doesn't get cured completely. It is a measure to reduce the rate of worsening lung infection. For the people who don't smoke, they need to be discouraged from doing so as it has an increased effect on them once they get used to smoking regularly.
- Occupational Health: For people whose occupations include a certain risk of COPD. Professions such as mining, construction and stone masonry pose a great risk of COPD on the people associated with it. Hence to curtail this, public policy is very important. Encouraging people to stop or reduce smoking, educating workers about COPD and also checking them for early signs are a way of prevention and which has proved effective to a certain extent.
- Air Pollution: Air Pollution even though is a combined failure of our society, personal measures can be taken to make the quality of air better. Reducing the number of vehicles, taking up cycling as a mode of transportation and also reducing the burning of fossil fuels may result in a gradual decrease of air pollution and also prevent COPD.
All in all, even though COPD is not entirely curable, prevention is always better than cure hence necessary steps should be taken to prevent people from developing COPD.

South Node conjunct Jupiter
A pair of gamblers
Old habits are hard to break, and this relationship doesn't exactly present you with the impetus to develop new ones. Whether this is a bad thing depends on several factors, including what other aspects exist between you and how they affect you. In a past life, you two were involved -- perhaps romantically, but possibly in some other capacity.
In some way, this person brought you good fortune in that past life -- maybe they gave you a good tip on a bet or investment opportunity, or maybe you were a married couple who increased your worldly holdings through your union. That was a good thing with a positive outcome, but you were also excessive together -- they may have encouraged you to gamble, for example, which can be a destructive pastime even if it's monetarily beneficial. In this life, they encourage you once again to be excessive, to take unnecessary risks. There could be other ways in which you're extreme together, as well. Your lover might have a strongly spiritual or idealistic side that they try to push on you, not recognizing that they can teach much better by example than by force. You should both strive to be a good example to each other, and to yourselves. Don't encourage each other to take silly risks that could upset the equilibrium of your relationship and your lives. That would be a mistake that you don't want to repeat in this life.

The bed in Newtonmore Hostel is the best ever! It's extremely hard climbing out from under the comfy blankets, especially when seeing the rain running down outside the window. After five days with fairly good weather, the rain god has decided to stir things up a bit.
I'm having breakfast in a lovely tea room (Betty's Pantry and Tearoom), where the owner lets me copy her tablet recipe. Something to try out at home...
The guys turn up late (again), this time, only a few are wearing kilts, most are - like me - in heavy rain gear. But thanks to the rain the air is fresh and cool, and the clouds give the mountains a mystical appearance.
Because we don't fancy walking several miles on a tarred cycle path and because it is too wet for the alternative boggy route, we take the vans to Kingussie, from where we start the walk. The first leg of the trek takes us to the impressive Ruthven barracks, built in 1719 after the first Jacobite uprising. There's a Highland cow standing directly in front of it; it almost looks as if she (?) was posing for a picture.
After the barracks, we leave the road and begin to follow the way marked Badenoch trail. It takes us on small footpaths through lovely birch forests and over open farm- and moorland. There are several bird hides on the way, but unfortunately we don't stop to have a closer look. Our walking speed is the fastest yet; luckily my blisters have disappeared and my fitness seems to have improved quite considerably.
We have lunch on an old stone bridge (built in 1728) leading over a gurgling river. I manage to drop a few oatcakes into the water, but at least that might feed the fish in there.
By now, the rain has stopped, and we rid ourselves of the sweaty rain gear. The men are all wearing bright orange T-shirts with the name of their charity and all the walks they've done in recent years on the back. Next year they will walk the Great Glen Way and have already invited me to come along. Tempting...
After the bridge, the forest becomes darker and darker - at least compared to the bright birch forests from earlier - and the forest track gets thinner until it's no bigger than a comfortable path. After all the tarmac roads of the past days, this is heaven for our feet (or maybe - a bit more down to earth - like a nice massage).
We pass through two tiny villages nestled deep into the forest.
The path ascends quite heavily, and with our pace being as fast as it is, the group splits up - as so often - into two parties, the fast and the slow. But this time, I am in the faster one - yippieh :)
The trail passes over some boggy ground, and one of the walkers slips and lands on the muddy ground. Luckily, he's alright - and a source of amusement for the next hour or so.
Loch Insh Watersports Centre. The vans with the other charity walkers that didn't take part in today's leg are already there, and together we sit down for a pint (and some lovely ice-cream). There's a large group of children out in the water being taught how to windsurf - it must be freezing in the water today.
From here, the lads drive me to my hostel, Cairngorms Christian Centre in Kincraig. I have to wait for half an hour or so for someone to arrive and let me in - mobile reception here is as bad as it was everywhere along the way, and the nice lady who then shows me around the centre never got my message. After leaving my stuff in the hostel, I have a look around the village shop (and get a newspaper - more sudokus for later on), and because it has started to rain again, I seek refuge in the Ossian Inn, a hotel in the village (and the closest place to get some food). The kitchen is still closed, so I sit down with some tea and read the paper, until the chef arrives (but the food later on is very much worth the wait).
Here a final group picture that didn't fit into the entry above:

So technically speaking Roger and I have 6 children: He has 2, I have 2 and we have 2 together. Austin is 1 of the "his 2". Once upon a time he was itty bitty and when asked his name he would respond: "my name is Autin" which was one of the many adorable little encounters folks used to have with the now 6 foot tall 20 year old 2nd-3rd year college student. Still adorable just on a much larger scale! Some days I wouldn't know he was home if it wasn't for the never ending yelling at the xbox……one day I'm hoping he will become wealthy from the time put in to his xbox. No worries though, if that doesn't work out he does happen to be very smart and is working on a degree in engineering. I'm thankful he is here for many reasons but one thing he does without effort is balancing out the female to male ratio in the house and until/unless you have lived in a house that isn't balanced you can't really appreciate the significance!!
My name is Autin (Austin)

People concerned about issues related to the arts and equity (funding is just one area) have used many terms to describe the juggernaut that is the world of symphonies, ballet companies, museums, and theaters. Most of the terminology used is either offensive or absurdly complex (and/or unwieldy). "Mainstream" illustrates the former. It implies this Eurocentric world to be the standard, the "normal." It places it at the center, marginalizing those organizations that, by use of the term, are outside the mainstream. Another descriptor, one of my favorites–European aristocratic cultural tradition preservation societies–illustrates the latter (and is also, of course, a "bit" confrontational).
For the record, I do understand that many members of the symphony/ballet/museum/ theater world do not consider themselves juggernaut-worthy. Most are painfully aware of their constant struggle for funds, recognition, etc. and cannot imagine themselves to be "big dogs." But their perspective is from the top of the food chain. It is only those arts organizations that are profoundly under-resourced in comparison that can see this.
Recently I have begun to experiment with a new label. The issue here is the historic preference given to presenters of a particular cultural tradition in the context of a rapidly diversifying society. Eurocentric arts organizations receive (and have received) the lion's share of resources (financial, human, "infrastructural"). The system favors these institutions. "Systemically privileged" reflects that preferential treatment. It also names the issue in a fairly straightforward way. So, for the time being, I'm going to give this a whirl: systemically privileged arts organizations. I invite–with some trepidation knowing how fraught this topic is–your thoughts. What am I missing? What invisible (to me) assumptions does this include? (I am well aware that I have many blind spots.) In other words, what are some of the ways that this is as unworkable as so many of the other labels we attempt to use? Of course, if you like it, feel free to use it yourself.
The continuation of the level of privilege these institutions enjoy is socially and politically untenable given the demographic upheaval we are experiencing. (It is also, of course, morally indefensible even if historically understandable.) But until we have good ways of naming it and discussing it we will be difficult to make any significant changes.

Hi there! The Kickstarter campaign has ended—but you can still get in on
And please keep in touch! We'll be regularly posting backers-only production updates on Kickstarter, and occasionally we'll post open updates for everyone to see as well. You can also stay up with The Bindle Stick project in other ways too:

A sincere thank-you to everyone who supported and backed this project!
The Bindle Stick is a practical TOOL that redistributes the weight when carrying heavy groceries or other bagged items from a person's hands to a more durable part of the human form, the shoulder. The inspiration comes from applying the scientific principles of simple machines so that a person can CARRY MORE WEIGHT WITH LESS EFFORT. Using the concept of a fulcrum and a lever helps ELIMINATE PAIN in the hands and arms while providing a FREE HAND to do other important things.
The Bindle Stick is made from HARD MAPLEWOOD, HARD RED OAK, HARD MAHOGONY which are STRONG and DURABLE so as to effectively distribute the weight of bagged items on the shoulder. The FORM is organic with ergonomic curves and gives this product a "folksey" yet smooth, rich, comfortable feeling. It is FUNCTIONAL, PRACTICAL, and EASY TO USE. I am sure you will find many benefits to the Bindle Stick and love it as much as I do!
This design allows the user to carry grocery and other bags more EFFICIENTLY, more COMFORTABLY, and more RADICALLY DIFFERENT than anything else on the market.
My concept begins by focusing on TWO FAMILIAR PROBLEMS.The first problem is: How to carry multiple heavy bags without the painful sensation produced in the hands and other body parts?
The second problem is: How to do other activities with your hands when they are full? i.e.: opening doors, holding an umbrella, using a phone, or reaching for keys or a wallet, sipping your coffee, holding the hand of your significant other or your child's hand...even waving for a cab: the possibilities go on and on! Therefore, I designed a better way to carry your bags without bringing pain to your hands and body and provide a free hand for everyday needs.
This is a product that can benefit EVERYONE. The Bindle Stick is designed initially for typical city dwellers, the majority of which have to carry heavy loads by hand, do not have a car, and must walk or take public transportation. However, the Bindle Stick can even help the car owner in the suburbs who will still need to get the bags from their car into their house or carry bags up or down stairs. This tool can even be used for self DEFENSE! ;-) This is a product that is good for ALL AGES no matter how strong you this design helps your lift heavy things more efficiently.
WHY NOT redistribute the heavy load, make it easier on yourself, and with your free hand unlock your front door. You can literally feel the weight fall off your shoulders as you comfortably remove the Bindle Stick and your reusable bags. In an effort to reduce our plastic bag consumption, this eco-friendly product encourages bringing your own reusable grocery bags and includes some really nice canvas bags in the REWARDS section ;-)
This product has been on the back burner of my mind for a long time, and finally, through Kickstarter and friends like you, I have a way to make this dream a reality! The inspiration came from moving to a big city without a car. I quickly realized how painful a simple trip to the grocery store could be. Even if the grocery store was only a few blocks away, carrying heavy bags home by hand was a pain! Today, I not only carry groceries with my Bindle Stick; I even use it to carry my heavy tool bag around on my Handyman jobs. IT REDUCES STRESS! I want everyone to enjoy the benefits as well!
Built on strong core values of innovation, durability, and honesty the Bindle stick is proudly manufactured in the U.S.A. (Chicago, IL.) The first 30 will be LIMITED EDITION MAPLEWOOD, RED OAK, and MAHOGANY sticks, hand carved by myself with T.L.C. :-) Based on the donations received: this first production run will allow you to customize the color of your handle, make it even more personable with your initials engraved in the side, and comes with durable, thick, rope handled canvas bag(s) with the Bindle Stick logo! **But no worries, the Bindle Stick is designed to fit any type of shopping bag out there**
Foreseen as a successfull product, some minor adjustments would be made in material and manufacturing in order to reach a larger market. As a test run in major U.S. metropolitan cities this would be marketed on a small scale primarily through word of mouth on my website and then to select grocery stores. Assuming people will love this as much as you and I do, this would be sold on a large scale for shopping malls as well and anywhere lots of purchases are made and carried away in bags.
Risks and challenges
I am confident that everything should run smoothly, I have a professor here teaching us about the Kickstarter process and will continue to use him as a resource for the rest of this semester to help with any obstacles.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

This used to be my favorite part of each day--the warm, clean sensation of water on my skin. What a privileged existence we have. It's a tired and useless idea to imagine that in any time in human history, I would have been drawn to the water and made a ritual of bathing myself in it. All I can know is that I am here now and I have the complicated relationship with water that many of us share. But how did I get here? How did I arrive at a point where my morning shower is a source of stress, an awakening of desperation, a reminder of my internal conflicts and fragile mortality? And how can I be so unhappy when I have it so good compared to so many others across time and place?
I'm caught. I have so many passions and I can't say no. I'm ambitious. I always want was is just beyond reach and I never want the same thing for long. For years now, I've worked multiple jobs simultaneously to not only afford my impulsive desires but to fulfill my eager and unstoppable quest for more knowledge, more experience. 2015 is still young, but I've already been offered multiple jobs and have had one of my current jobs threatened. Over the years, I've invested a lot in myself in multiple fields, and I excel in each. I struggle with the notion of leaving an entire side of myself at the curb to propel myself fully into one field or another. I shudder at the thought of leaving something unfinished when I'm so far ahead.
More than anything, the constant exploitation wears me down. I find myself unfairly compensated in all my endeavors. I am good at what I do. I haven't found myself in an activity yet that I haven't gone above expectations and turned a few heads (with the grand exception of this shoddy blog!). I am a quick study. And I have the qualifications. But the problem I still run into every day is that everyone wants a great product, and no one wants to pay for it. I am constantly fighting for fair pay. I get satisfaction from my work, and I would love to give my employers or clients my best. But I refuse to do my best for their worst. When labor is all you own, and you know yours is top-notch, you don't give out more than a few samples. Then again, when labor is all you own, this world has you by the short hairs and doesn't feel the need for what they consider benevolence. They want you to give, but they won't give themselves. It's not an ego that I have. It's a tested self-awareness brewed with a healthy amount of empirical knowledge of how organizations screw their workers. Yet, I'm still willing to learn more from those who have been at these things longer. I'm not asking for much, in the scheme of things.
"Everyone wants a great product, and no one wants to pay for it."
Alongside my daily gear-switching from grading papers to guiding anglers to writing social theory, from teaching statistics to one group and fly-tying to another, that I have the other issues of contemporary adult life--yes, bills and marriage, but also family deaths and suicidal friends. You can plan your day or evening all you want, but everything collides and smashes and escapes your grip and self-proclaimed mastery when a close friend with whom you've shared so many laughs sends you a "goodbye," message.
I suppose what I'm getting at is entropy. To
Here's to cleaning up in 2015.

From award-winning Maine filmmaker Huey (Wilderness & Spirit: A Mountain Called Katahdin) comes a portrait of Thoreau, emphasizing how the writer's voice and spirit have echoed throughout history and still resound today. Thoreau's call for preservation of the wilderness was far ahead of its time and forms the philosophical basis for many environmental organizations today. He almost single-handedly established the basic principles for the modern-day science of ecology. His essay "Civil Disobedience" is the impetus for many civil rights movements across the world and influenced both Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. Thoreau's mantra "simplify, simply" helped ignite the 1960s back-to-the-land movement and the continuing voluntary simplicity movement. His book Walden has been in print for 151 years. His phrase from Walden about hearing the "beat of a different drummer" has come to symbolize the spirit of individuality in America. Surveyor of the Soul maps out Thoreau's influence on the American landscape of thought. But then, there's the literal, natural landscape, and a significant portion of Surveyor of the Soul follows Thoreau's path to the Maine Woods, about which he wrote extensively and beautifully. Thoreau was one of the first truly American writers, a writer whose insight into everyday observations of daily life and nature still has relevance in the present day.

Muzzle Flash Bug
The Problem
This problem may occur for addonmakers in the form of the muzzle flash of a weapon model is visible at all times ingame, and does not simply flash when fired.
The Solution
This Problem has two solutions. You may have to do both.
Open your model in Oxygen 2 and make sure that the selection zasleh does infact highlight the model part of the muzzle flash on your weapon. Do this in all the LODs.
If in some LOD the muzzle flash selection does not highlight when clicking the zasleh selection, select it on your model, rightclick zasleh in the selections window and select redefine selection.
In your Config.cpp (for OFP) or model.cfg (for ArmA), you should include (or already have) a CfgModels class, which includes the weapon name as classes. For instance, your weapon model is named "MyM16A2.p3d", then the CfgModels section should look as following:
class CfgModels { class Default {}; class Weapon: Default {}; class MyM16A2: Weapon {}; };
This should be inserted into your Config.cpp (only for OFP) before your CfgVehicles or CfgWeapons sections and you have to put it in there before binarizing the model.
