What is Differential Subterfugation?
a procedure used to separate certain organelles from whole cells for further analysis of specific parts of cells. is first homogenised to break the cell membranes and mix up the cell contents. The homogenate is then subjected to repeated centrifugations, each time removing the pellet and increasing the centrifugal force resulting in smaller and smaller structures
What is Isopycnic (sucrose density) Centrifugation?
a sucrose density gradient is created by gently overlaying lower concentrations of sucrose on higher concentrations in a centrifuge tube. The sample containing organelles of different bouyant densities (lipid and protein content) is placed on top of the gradient and centrifuged at forces in excess of 150,000 x g. The particles travel through the gradient until they reach the point in the gradient at which their density matches that of the surrounding sucrose. This fraction can then be removed and subjected to further analysis. After it becomes known between which two layers the required fraction finally settles, a simplified setup with just these two layers may be used.

Waterville, ME - The Northern Vermont University-Lyndon men's basketball team fell behind Thomas College 14-2 at the start and never recovered, falling 93-69 in a North Atlantic Conference contest on Friday evening. The Hornets fall to 2-7 on the season and 0-3 in NAC play, while the Terriers improve to 3-6 overall and 1-2 in conference.
After Zach Mackinnon opened the game with a layup for Thomas, Ricky Shuford (Prattville, AL) answered with a layup for Lyndon. However Thomas would capitalize on six straight Lyndon turnovers to score 12 unanswered points and never look back. Thomas maintained a 14-point halftime lead and extended it to as many as 29 in the second half before settling for the 24 point win.
Demetris Webster topped four double figure scorers for the Terriers, finishing with 20 points. Lovegeurson Fleurine posted a double double with 14 points and 11 rebounds, while Jordan Goodson and Mackinnon also hit double figures with 16 and 10 respectively. Zach Falkenburg (Kirkville, NY) posted a career high 26 points to lead Lyndon. Jahleel Gabriel (Springfield, MA) and Corey Frost ( Hamden, CT) chipped in 11 and ten points respectively.
Thomas connected on 40 of 73 shots (54.8%), including nine of 21 (42.9%) from behind the arc. The Hornets made 26 of 58 (44.8%) field goal attempts, including seven of 22 (31.8%) from distance. Thomas held a 40-29 rebounding advantage and forced 24 Lyndon turnovers while turning it over 15 times themselves.
The Hornets return to the court on Saturday afternoon when they complete their Maine trip with a 1:00 pm tip-off at UMaine-Farmington.

How much can you tweak English before it malfunctions?
It's been a bit quiet here, mostly because I've been busy doing things in the 'real' world, and also because I've been blogging over at Jacket2.org about visual poetry. My latest post is about the English visual poet, Mike Cannell.
You can find that post here. I get all political and write how how Cannell's work investigates how language can be complicit in the expression of a capitalist system.
I've recently written about Christian Bok, Dan Waber, Erica Baum, a. rawlings, John M. Bennett, derek beaulieu. I've many more posts to come about a great variety of writers. I'm looking forward to seeing where the series goes as I attempt to further investigation the motivation, context, and reading of visual poetry. If you any comment or ideas, please drop me a line.

Refreshed and Revived: Insights From Abroad/
I'm back after a three-week hiatus, and I am refreshed and revived. I am blessed that my husband and I could venture abroad to Spain. There are a few things that I want to share with you that I learned from the Spanish culture:
Enjoy each day as if there's no tomorrow.
Take in the beauty around you.
Eat good food every day.
I hope that you can take these learnings with you into the week.
Are you taking a vacation soon? Get excited as your time for rejuvenation is coming soon. If you cannot take a vacation right now, check out my previous post on how to simulate a necessary mental break.
While I was away, I did have the opportunity to read a lot, and thus I want to share a couple of articles that should benefit you on your wealth-building journey:
Should You Pay Off Your Mortgage? The New Tax Law Changes The Math. The WSJ purports the following – "For 2017, 32 million tax filers got a mortgage-interest deduction. For 2018, that number will drop to 14 million." This is alarming! Since the standard deduction is doubling to $12,000 for single-filers and to $24,000 for most married couples, filers will no longer benefit from breaking out mortgage deductions. Also, there is a new cap on deducting more than $10,000 of local income or sales and property taxes, also known as SALT, which is per tax return.
Some advisors argue that the changes to the mortgage deduction strengthen the argument for paying down or off a mortgage because you would want to pay off the debt with less tax benefit. However, I argue that you should also consider whether paying down your mortgage makes financial sense because it will also mean restricting access to funds that you may need. Consult your tax advisor now to see how the changes in the tax law may affect your decisions on paying off your mortgage.
How Baby Boomers Broke America. Steven Brill's poignant article in Time magazine describes how the "core values that make America great began to bring America down" about fifty years ago. As you may know, I was both an Economics and American Studies major in college, and thus I'm fascinated by the article's honesty about how we got to a culture of income inequality and greed. Regardless of your political affiliation, I think you'll find value in Brill's perspective as he also provides a glimmer of hope on how to put the pieces back together; It starts with everyday citizens (that's you) who can unite the middle class and the poor rather than divide them.
Why You Probably Have Less Money Invested in Stocks Than You Should. I agree with Gary Smith's opinion piece in Market Watch. I want to point out a few key points from the article (1) Most investors are risk-averse; they are afraid to lose money. (2) Many investors have recently taken their money out of the market because they are waiting for prices to collapse so that they can buy stocks at bargain prices. While "it is a good idea to buy stock at low prices, it is seldom a good idea to try to time the market, sitting on cash while waiting for bargains to materialize." (3) What is certain is that U. S. stocks will do well in the long run and you don't want to be left behind.
I agree with these three points on stock market investing, and if you have any other points to add to the list, please leave a comment below. What will you do with your stock investments?

As college students, we're constantly on the go. Something we often forget is to treat our bodies right by fueling them throughout the day, thus keeping our metabolism rolling, energy levels high and hunger pains subsided. One issue we tend to face is choosing the right snacks. We're constantly encountering foods filled with bad fats, extremely high levels of added sugar and ingredients we can't pronounce. But in the sea of unhealthy products is a better option for nourishment: nutrition bars.
I'm a firm believer in paying more attention to the ingredients in a product rather than its nutritional information. The difference between 100 calories of, say, Oreos versus 100 calories of kale is immense. Most granola and protein bars are falsely advertised as a healthy source of nutrition, including a long list of junk under the nutritional value column that probably causes you to furrow your brow.
To de-furrow that brow of yours, I've constructed a list of some healthy ingredients to look for next time you pick up a nutrition bar on the way to class.
Most bars I come across are loaded with processed and refined sugars, one of the worst ingredients you can feed your body if not eaten in moderation. Because I, too, enjoy sweet treats, the first ingredient I'd like to introduce is the date. According to The Milwaukee Journal, these sweet little gems derive from countries in the Middle East, as well as California, Arizona and even some parts of Texas. Dates are an excellent source of easily-digestible sugar, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. When choosing your next nutrition bar, try to pick one that is date-based. Some of my favorites include Larabar and assorted Thunderbird Energetica bars.
Organic Ingredients
"Organic." We've seen this word countless times on signs and packages, but what does it really mean? The Environmental Protection Agency describes "organically grown" food as "food that is grown and processed using no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides." In other words, organic products are not exposed to harsh chemicals during the growing process, decreasing your chance of illness and disease by consumption. So what does this have to do with my bar, you ask? Simply put, the more organic ingredients, the better. Some examples would be organic sugars, fruits, nuts, cocoa and assorted oils. If you're looking for a tasty and organic-pumped bar, try any in Oatmega's line (my favorite is chocolate mint crisp).
Unprocessed & Natural Sugars
This is a big one. Like I previously stated, added sugar can be one of the worst ingredients for you if not eaten in moderation. That's why, being the health-nut I am, I get way too excited when I find products with unprocessed or natural sugars. In reality, the body will react to most sugar consumption in the same way; breaking it down in the form of fructose and glucose molecules (read all about this stuff here). It's still smarter to choose sugars that are in their most natural form and to ingest them sparingly. That being said, when choosing a nutrition bar, look for sugars such as date palm (or just dates), coconut palm, maple syrup, honey, unrefined organic cane sugar, erythritol and stevia.
Fruit & Nuts
Aside from dates, there are other fruits, as well as nuts, that should be components in your bars. It's no surprise that these two are vital for a healthy, balanced body, and what better way to incorporate them into your diet than picking up a product that's already got them all packed together for you? The natural sugars in fruit and high-fat content in nuts make for a perfect combination in keeping us awake and ready to take on that economics class. Many people stray away from nuts because of how much fat they contain, but if you take a closer look, you'll notice they're packed with good fats. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are essential for your health, and nuts are a fantastic source for these two. I say go for any assortment of nuts and fruits in your bars.
Next time you're looking for a quick pick-me up bar in between classes, keep these ingredients in mind. It's amazing what natural sources of energy can do for the brain and body. Happy snacking!

I walked into the center last week to be greeted by this now 8th grader:
"Hey stranger."
His greeting contained a hint of sarcasm with a hint of truth. I hadn't been back to the Urbana Neighborhood Connections Center (UNCC) for a string of days since May. I had visited the center twice before the current visit but his greeting stung a little. I missed the center (and the kids) like crazy but have two other summer campus jobs right now. Sometimes I have a hard time keeping everything straight.
So then why am I willingly at the center, ready to teach a series of weekly classes on Monday afternoons until the end of July?
Because I just can't let go. Additionally, I love being busy to a point of perhaps *too* busy. But that's another story.
Be part of a grant, they tell me. It will be great experience. Yes, my job this past year was amazing, and I got placed at a site well suited for me. And in true Hailley Fargo fashion, I became so involved with the people there, when the grant ended (prematurely, but again that's another story) there was no question that I would stay on. Grant or no grant. I was a part of UNCC and I couldn't turn back.
The kids I get the chance to work with are incredible. They are mostly elementary students from all sorts of different backgrounds. As I spent more time at the center, they welcomed me. Their smiles as they saw me when they walked in from the school bus are the types of smiles where you just have to smile too. We wrote out spelling words (for the record, second graders learn how to spell phenomenal these days), conquered the art of using a ruler, battled fractions with uncommon denominators, and read lots of Scooby Doo. After all that homework (and the snack, one cannot forget the snack) then we moved to the computers. And there, I got to watch these kids learn how to plug in a computer, turn it on and off, use the internet, and of course, play their favorite game, Roblox. Some of my most rewarding moments at the center are when I'm playing Roblox with a handful of students and they lean across my keyboard. "Here, let me help you Ms. Hailley," they said as they maneuvered to a new screen or toggled an option I never knew existed (like I could transform into a dog!). I was a co-learner at that moment and spent most of my time there, learning from the students who surrounded me.
I want the best for these kids. I want to teach them digital literacy in the best way I know possible. My day gets better when I walk into the center and hear the chorus of "Ms. Hailley! Ms. Hailley!" and their steps as they run to give me a hug first.
This whole story leads me to this Monday's session. Through interviews and personal conversations, I knew that opening up a computer back on Halloween was sort of "life-changing" for some of the elementary kids. They cite that as one of their favorite workshops and when asked if they would like to open up a computer again they enthusiastically responded with "YES."
I had spent the weekend brainstorming how I would do the "open the computer, see what's inside" workshop. The last time, I had made a slideshow with some brief definitions and it mostly became a free-for-all. They scoped out the inside, took out some parts, and couldn't stop looking at the green golden circuit board.
However, I wanted to change it up this time. I was feeling inspired by my friend Max's latest blog post (he's teaching on a Fulbright in Malaysia) and by the book I just finished reading, Feminist Pedagogy for Library Instruction by Maria T. Accardi. I had quotes from Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed running through my head and I wanted to hear the voices of the kids I worked with. I wanted to do something where they would remember not only what the inside of a computer looked like, but also what those parts did.
So I came up with a plan. Have the kids divide into groups, open up a computer, use a loose worksheet (with computer components and then lines to write their own definition), and then use a search engine to figure out what each part did. In an ideal world, once they defined the part, they would go back to the computer, locate said part, and then begin to draw their own diagram/blueprint of the inside of a computer.
Perfect, right?
Not quite. Ran into a few roadblocks:
- Ages of the kids in each group. Naturally the kids clumped with kids their age, which gave the soon to be fifth graders a distinct advantage over the group of soon to be first and third graders. Reading on the internet is tough, especially computer lingo. Take a look at the definition Google gives us when we search "Motherboard define"
"a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted."
- One Ms. Hailley + lack of attention span and or patience == frustrated kids. There's only one place I can be at a time. Groups that weren't self-motivated (especially kids who hadn't worked with me during the school year) ended giving up pretty early on. I would have also needed more time to have one-one interactions with the students.
However, for the two fifth graders, I think (and hope) they got a lot out of it. I was able to work with them on good Google searches (we don't need "what is/does…" to begin our search query) and pushed them to articulate what the parts did. I really pushed them with RAM. I kept asking questions like "How is RAM different than the hard drive?" or "Where would the computer send the message first before sending it to the RAM?" These were both girls I had worked with before and I could their progress since I first met them back in September.
The workshop ended abruptly. I started on another tech project for UNCC before seeing one of my favorite students, a soon-to-be first grader. He was playing Roblox, lost in the world where he controlled the speed of boats in an Egypt, ride-down-the-Nile-style amusement park.
"Wanna see the inside of a computer?" I asked him, knowing he probably would. He nodded and we headed over to the now deserted table of computer towers. We picked one out and I started asking him questions about the motherboard. He had remembered from the previous workshop, leaning over the box to see the circuits. He knew how to take a piece of RAM out and tapped it on the table as we took the hard drive out. I asked more questions and he answered them, with a head nod here and there followed by a short answer. After he put the hard drive back in it's proper place, he and I went around, putting the covers back on the tower, covering up all the wires.
"Do you want to help me plug them back in or play some more Roblox?" I asked once we were done. He pointed at his abandoned computer. "Go have fun bud," I said and he ran back to his game.
It's moments like these that remind me why I want to be a librarian. To have those interactions, to build those connections, to ask those questions to get the kids talking, that's why I love this field. That's why I read the critical theory and try to apply it in practice. That's why I keep coming back to UNCC and that's why a workshop that didn't go perfectly as planned doesn't bum me out too much…I'll have another chance soon.

Our hearts are "idol factories" as John Calvin observed, always seeking to worship something that we have deemed worthy of devotion. At an early age we experience pain or joy and in response we make vows of devotion. "I will never experience that terrible thing again." Or "I will have a spouse that makes me happy like that when I grown up!" Or "I will have financial security so that I can provide more opportunities for my kids." Or, and especially for those of us in ministry, "I will never sell out or loose my edge and my passion for this ministry!"

Bigg Boss 11 on Colors (Endemol India) is hitting new notes of popularity and during weekend ka vaar sequence anchored by Salman Khan, two inmates were ousted from the show.
This week five contestants were nominated and out of the lot, Sabyasachi Satpathy and Mehjabeen Siddiqui were announced as evicted names.
Sabyasachi and Mehjabeen entered the house as padosis and did not impress the viewers, thanks to their not so dramatic demeanours.
Salman announced that Mehjabeen and Sabyasachi received the least votes among all.
We wish Sabyasachi and Mehjabeen great luck ahead.

For the Love of Learning/
The decision to homeschool was one that we decided as a family just felt right. I've been blessed to stay home with my girls or at least bring my girls to my job since Sheridan was born. It's not that I'm an overprotective mom that doesn't want to send her babies out into the scary world, but it's because our lifestyle allows for the richness of home school and our thoughts are, "Why not take advantage of this?"
We really only get our kids for about 18 years. That's 18 years to laugh, to experience life alongside them, to grow and to work through the issues of life that they'll definitely be going through together as a family. When I was younger and in school, school was not about learning and experiencing different things, it was retaining enough for the test. Memorize if needed. Take the test. Empty brain and move onto the next information I needed to study for the next test. The enjoyment of learning was not there. I feel there's so much pressure to perform in school and the added pressure of how teachers are graded now only adds to the theory of "We teach to test."
When I got to college and started on my actual major courses I was thrown into a world of learning of what I actually wanted to learn. I read my text books for fun, people! Who does that? Well, I did! I was actually getting to learn what I was passionate about. I was getting to write about what I was interested in and it definitely showed in my grades. I graduated Magna Cum Laude.
Our mission in homeschooling is to allow our girls to learn in an unconventional way that enriches their lives to the fullest. Whether that's in the back of the feed truck counting cows and learning how to way feed. Or on horseback learning to recognize different birds and plant life. My girls curiosity can lead our schoolwork and it spans across all the subjects if we are intentional with it.
The best part is that Kody and I get to learn right along with our girls. We have a yearly membership to the Museum of Nature and Science. We take field trips that go seamlessly along with what are girls are interested in at the time. They get to feel, taste, see and hear every subject that we cover.
And yes, we do plan to home school them all the way through high school if that's what's best for them and what God is leading us to do.
Do I believe everyone should home school their kids? No.
I believe that there are amazing teachers in public schools, my best friend, Breann is one of them. But I do believe that this is what's best for us in this moment...and I will pour my heart into it. Oh and the whole socialization (awkward, home school kid) thing. I really see that varying from family to family. If you live like hermits, well you'll be a little different. We are so active in our church, I help watch friend's kids and we always have friends stopping by that I almost see my girls as over-socialized!
For us this works and yes, it may not be for everyone. It's hard and we're only in Kindergarten!! But seeing my girl's imaginations grow and blossom everyday and the questions that they ask is astounding. I especially love seeing them teach each other and know that they are each other's best friend because most of the time, they're all each other has to play with.
I know that I'm only in the starting stages of all of this, but I'm very passionate about helping others see the joy and opportunity that home school can bring, so I'm an open book if you have any questions!!

What are your expectations for a successful associateship? Understanding expectations of both the practice owner and the prospective associate is a critical part of laying a well developed foundation for the immediate relationship and also for future success.
This monograph provides a format for both practice owners and prospective associates / partners to discuss the expectations each party has to developing a practice relationship. Not only is the approach to an expectations discussion provided but also sample questions. Unless the process of stating expectations and using a well developed set of steps is used you risk miscommunication, prolonged discussions or negotiations and potentially the loss of trust. Avoid all of the foregoing by slowly and carefully building your practice relationship foundation by using the suggestions to guide you. A successful associateship starts with an expectations discussion and this Special Report will provide what you need.

For many drivers, having strong towing capabilities can be incredibly useful – especially as they can take trailers and caravans with them whenever they want.
Here are the nine of the best cars on sale for towing…
BMW 335 xDrive M Sport Touring
The BMW 335 xDrive M Sport Touring is one of the best cars for towing a caravan or trailer. With a towing limit of 1,800 kg, the BMW 335 certainly doesn't struggle with pulling heavy loads. Also with a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder diesel providing 630Nm of torque, the 3 Series will certainly be able to cope with longer journeys without feeling sluggish, while also be able to manage 45mpg.
Skoda Octavia Estate
The Skoda Octavia Estate is one of the most spacious and capable cars in its class. With a towing weight ranging from 1,500 to 2,000kg, the Octavia Estate allows the owner to tow a sizeable caravan, plus with excellent luggage and interior space, the Octavia Estate is a great all-rounder for anyone looking for a practical and reliable workhorse.
Dacia Duster
The Dacia Duster is the cheapest small SUVs on sale, and starting from just £9,140, the Duster is affordable. With a towing limit between of 1,400-1,500 kg, the Duster can pull more than a more expensive Nissan Qashqai and its bigger cousin, the Renault Kadjar. The Duster is also a very capable off-roader as it comes with good ground clearance and with the option of four-wheel-drive, the Duster makes for a very affordable proposition.
Ford Mondeo Estate
The Ford Mondeo Estate has a towing weight between 1,450-2,000 kg, and when fitted with the punchy, 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine, the Mondeo is very capable of going anywhere with not much fuss. With engine toque ranging from 240 Nm to 400 Nm, the Mondeo pulls well, plus with turbocharged engines such as the diesel and a 2.5-litre petrol, there is enough power to suit anyone.
Peugeot 3008
The 3008 was named best family car for 2018 and its easy to see why. Striking looks, plenty of space, a quality interior and efficient engines means the 3008 is a vast improvement over the previous iteration. Towing capacity is impressive too, as depending on which engine and transmission chosen the 3008 can pull between 1,200-2,000 kg. However, opting for the EGC automatic transmission will limit the tow capacity down to 900kg.
Volvo XC40
The XC40 has only been on sale since 2018, but great looks, fantastic brand reputation and its large towing weights make it one of the best buys around. The XC40 can tow up to 2,100kg, plus with up to 59mpg combined and a starting price of £27,450 the XC40 is a sensible proposition. The D4 diesel engine is the best engine for towing a caravan in the XC40 line-up.
Volkswagen Touareg
The Volkswagen Touareg is famous for towing immensely heavy objects, such as a jumbo jet, and the latest Touareg can tow up to 3,500kg. The secret is a range of extremely powerful diesel engines, with torque outputs from 500 Nm to 600 Nm. The Volkswagen Touareg is one of the best cars for pulling trailers along.
Land Rover Discovery
The Land Rover Discovery is one of the nation's favourite off-roaders. With seven seats, ground-breaking technology and large towing capabilities, the Discovery is a car for all comers. The Discovery can tow from 3,000-3,500kg, meaning it's on par with the likes of the Volkswagen Touareg. The Discovery is priced from £47,405 for the entry-level model with fuel economy between 29 and 39mpg.
Audi A6 Allroad
The A6 Allroad has a higher ride height, four-wheel-drive and offers 4x4 adaptability in an estate car package. The A6 Allroad can tow up to 2,500kg, and with great stability, traction, acceleration and braking, the Allroad can tow faultlessly. It's 3.0-litre diesel makes 479Nm of torque and 309bhp, so the Allroad is a great way to tow a caravan.

3 Plumbing Jobs You Should Always Leave to the Professionals
Even if you are very handy, there are still a few plumbing projects that are most likely better left to the professionals. Plumbing requires a completely different set of skills, and it is important not to get plumbing jobs wrong because the result could be major damage that costs a lot of money to repair. Before you pick up your spanner and wrench, think about leaving the following plumbing jobs to the professionals.
Pipe fitting. Every house has water pipes that circulate water around the home, which is an extremely important function. You might try and fit pipes yourself, think that everything looks great and then plaster over the pipes only to find that years or months later, a pipe bursts. This can interrupt the flow of water around your home, it can cause internal damage to the structure of your home, and it can cause mould and mildew. This is one job that should always be left to the professionals.
Installation of water heaters. A hot water heater is a necessary part of any home's set-up – at least if you want to have a warm shower in the morning. You might think that you can save money by taking care of the installation yourself, but there are so many things that can go wrong. For one thing, many water heaters use natural gas, and you will have to set up specialised gas lines, which, if set up incorrectly, could lead to gas leaks. You also run the risk of hot water and steam leaks, which could cause damage to the surrounding area, as well as encourage mould and mildew growth.
Major drain blockages. A drain blockage seems like child's play, right? After all, there are so many different chemical products on the market that are designed just for unblocking drains. The problem with many of these products is that they can actually corrode the material of your pipes. Your plumber, however, will have the skills and tools to actually extract whatever is causing the pipe blockage safely and without causing any damage to your pipes.
If you are anxious to flex your plumbing muscles, fear not. You can still take on DIY tasks such as replacing faucets, cleaning the aerators on water faucets and draining and flushing the tank of your water heater. But for the more difficult tasks, contact professionals from a company like Dial-A-Plumber to make sure the job gets done right.

Low-Voltage Motor Control Center Upgrades
Motor control center (MCC) structures and internal bus work typically have a long life, so why upgrade the entire motor control center when problems arise?
Schneider Electric offers direct replacement units and retrofit options to upgrade low-voltage MCCs. New direct replacement motor control center units are available for many common vintage and current style motor control centers. When a direct replacement unit is not available, a genuine OEM bucket with all new Square DTM components can be retrofit into the motor control center structure. Both options improve reliability, reduce maintenance and increase equipment capabilities.
FeaturesFollowing is a partial list of OEM models for which direct replacement units are available:
- Allen-Bradley: Centerline® 2100
- General Electric: 7700 and 8000 Series
- ITE – Gould – Telemecanique: Series 5600
- ITE – Imperial – Telemecanique: Series 9600
- Square D Model 4
- Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer: Type W

WOUNDED GOING TO THE AMBULANCE The work of the American Red Cross "everywhere in France" has served to seal the bond of fraternity between the two nations more closely than any other agency since the beginning of the war. From this time forth the red badge of courage and compassion will be worn by those who must minister to our own wounded as well as to our brother allies in arms. over the ruins of other civilizations and other peoples and other nations. THE MINDS OF A PEOPLE POISONED So deftly has that conspiracy been car ried on that the minds of a great people a people that have demonstrated their greatness in many fields-even in that fifty years, have been poisoned into the conviction that it is their highest duty to subordinate every consideration of hu manity to the exaltation and the develop ment of military force, so that by that force they can take from the rest of the world what is needed to accomplish their destiny, at whatever cost of honor or principle. I yield to no man in my admiration for most of the qualities or all of the qualities of the German people except this obses sion that they have been given through the instilling of that poison in the last fifty years. Where do you see the working out of the divine plan? That was a cancer in the world. It had grown to be so for midable that it needed a capital operation to excise it and restore the world again to the station in the development of Christian civilization which, but for that, we would not have reached. So we have seen it in the destruction of the greatest autocracy, perhaps-at least apparently the greatest autocracy Russia, whose alliance with the Entente Allies gave for the time the lie or appar ently gave the lie to the proposal that they were fighting the cause of freedom, fighting the cause of freedom against ab solutism. That toppled over, and now we have arrayed on the one side the democracies of the world against the military autocra cies on the other, and the issue has been clearly drawn so that it may be seen by the wayfaring man, though a fool. Accompanying this devotion to military efficiency, as a God, has come that blind ness which is in the end to destroy the Hohenzollern philosophy of government.

Downtown Providence, which encompasses Washington, Westminster, Empire and Weybosset streets is home to some 1,400 people, according to census data.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Christine Francis walks to work every morning, and on her way says hello to the "UPS guy," municipal employees, and some local shop owners.
"It's hard to be anonymous here," said Francis, 51, who lives and works in downtown Providence. "Actually, it's impossible to be anonymous."
Downtown Providence, which encompasses Washington, Westminster, Empire and Weybosset Streets, is home to some 1,400 people, according to census data.
And one of the littlest-known facts, Rich Pezzillo, president of the Downtown Neighborhood Association said, is that anyone lives there at all.
"Downtown Providence is one of, if not the fastest, growing neighborhood in the city," Pezzillo said. "It is so often looked at as a business district for bars and restaurants...but we're here too."
Pezzillo and his husband moved to Providence from Washington, D.C. in 2014 and were delighted to find the comforts of community blended with the convenience of living downtown. Pezzillo, 34, grew up in North Providence and now works as the executive director for the New England Hemophilia Association.
"When I lived here in the '90s I didn't come downtown often so I was surprised by how many people there were," he said. "When you walk up and down Westminster and look up...pretty much all of the buildings are residential."
Pezzillo says he enjoys strolls along the river. House guests get a tour — starting at Waterplace and ending with the hurricane barrier and passes all the street art.
Plus, there is the food. An ideal day of Providence fare would start with a stop at Knead Donuts for a sweet treat and a cup of coffee from Ellie's Bakery. For lunch, pizza and small plates from Figidini are always delicious, Pezzillo said.
For dinner? Rosalina's on Aborn Street serves food from local vendors, and olive oil imported from family-owned groves in Greece.
"I want to emphasize how vibrant a community it is," he said. "There's always something going on."
This was a real draw for Francis who moved downtown after she divorced. She owns the Carmen & Ginger shop in the Arcade.
"It seems trite to say, but I love grabbing a cup of coffee with a friend and being able to choose a different place every time," she said.
The downtown streets provide a history lesson in major architectural trends of the past. The building designs show trends from 1810 to the present, according to paperwork filed with the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
"The buildings of different styles are dispersed throughout the district, creating a balanced mixture of old and new buildings," according to the paperwork.
This is especially true with the rental stock. Many apartments are available for rent in rehabbed historical buildings like Westminster Loft, which occupies the upper stories of a 19th-century commercial building, or the micro lofts at The Arcade.
More than 20 loft apartments are available in the Westminster Loft building, with rents ranging from $1,400 to $3,000 per month.

Three rather important developments in the study and treatment of plasmocytic myeloma have occurred in the past three years. These are an experimental animal tumor with all the characteristics of the human myeloma; refined techniques to study abnormal myeloma proteins of serum and urine by filter paper, starch gel, and immunoelectrophoresis; and the clinical trial of a new alkylating agent, cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in human cases.
A mouse myeloma tumor produces a plasmocytic tumor, bone marrow and spleen involvement, and a typical myeloma electrophoretic pattern at 60 days after inoculation. Resection of the mass of tumor causes a decrease (day 64)

Published on July 06, 2017
But it can be risky to exercise when the summer sun heats up. That's particularly true if you have a medical condition, like heart disease, or you take certain medications.
"You're more likely to come down with a heat-related illness if you're not careful, and those can be really dangerous," says Catherine Khayati, Mercy LIFE Social Work Manager.
Rise and shine. Get your daily walk or other form of exercise in during the early morning before the day gets too warm and the sidewalks and streets heat up.
Seek shade. When outdoors, stay in the shade as much as possible while you exercise.
Dress for the heat. Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, sunglasses, and a hat.
Stay inside. If the day is just too hot, try to do your exercise indoors, preferably in an air-conditioned space. If your home isn't air-conditioned, don't forget you can always come to a Mercy LIFE Day Center to cool off.
"During hot weather—or anytime—visit one of our Mercy LIFE Day Centers," Catherine says. "The centers are air-conditioned and offer exercise classes, as well as many other activities."

CHAH Students Visit Disney Offices here in NYC!/
Last week, CHAH students were able to interact with corporate volunteers and learn about the different components of Disney Film Corporation. They also learned about the film marketing and theater distribution of several of Disney's subsidiary companies including Pixar, Marvel Entertainment, and DreamWorks.
The students learned how much Disney films gross in the US and abroad.
Disney owns Lucas Films, the famous producer of the Starwars franchise.
Students were treated to a screening of the newly released Disney film, Beauty and the Beast.
Next, they toured behind the scenes of the Regal Theater and got to see their daily operations.
To end the trip, students were treated to a great lunch Chevy's in Times Square!

Hillary Clinton slammed the DNC's 2016 campaign data operation Wednesday, saying she had "nothing" to work from once she won the nomination. She lamented that Donald Trump was able to walk into a well-funded and thoroughly-tested data operation, while she was forced to build hers largely from scratch.
"Its data was mediocre to poor, non-existent, wrong. I had to inject money into it ... to keep it going."
Why it matters: Axios conducted over two dozen interviews with experts associated with the Trump and Clinton data and advertising operations earlier this year, and while many sources agreed with this sentiment off the record, no campaign or DNC staffers used language as strong as Clinton did Wednesday to publicly to condemn the DNC's data enterprise.

Focaccia is an absolutely gorgeous Italian flat baked but light and airy bread filled with flavour and perfect drizzled with olive oil, balsamic and dusted with salt. It is made similarly and as easily made as a pizza dough.
I have only ever made Focaccia twice in my life ( both last week) however I must have eaten it at least 200 times!! I was inspired by a colleague of mine who came into work recently with focaccia she had freshly made at home and said it was REALLY EASY. So off I went to the shop to buy some strong white bread flour, active yeast sachets, fresh rosemary and thyme, a big bottle of extra virgin olive oil and some decent salt flakes.
She was right it was REALLY EASY.
It is not quick to make but the part that requires the man handling of the ingredients only takes about 20 minutes. The rest is waiting time where you can go off and do other things, like laundry or as I did panic and watch a million YouTube videos to check I was doing it right and searching "is the dough meant to look like this"!
Summary: Mix Ingredients 6 – 8 together and set aside. In a large glass bowl combine ingredients 1 – 5 and knead dough. Prove for 1 hour. Roll out and fit to oven tray. Rest dough for 30 minutes. Make finger sized wells, drizzle infused oil and bake for 25 mins.
- 500g strong white bread flour
- 2 sachets of active yeast
- 300ml lukewarm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 300ml olive oil
- handful of rosemary
- handful of thyme
- handful of breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons posh flaked salt
Full Recipe:
- Separate the thyme and rosemary herb from their stalks (Tip: use thumb and forefinger to slide down stalk in opposite direction of growth to remove herb from stalk.) Pour 250ml of olive oil in jug and add the thyme and rosemary to the oil. Set aside.
- Using a heavy based glass bowl add the white flour, two thirds of the water, 2 sachets of yeast, 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of caster sugar.
- Using your hands form the mixture into a dough, add the last 100ml of water bit by bit and knead the dough for 5 minutes. Massage and push the dough around with the base of your hands. The dough should be a workable consistency, if too wet add more flour, if too dry add a little bit more water. If easier dust a clean flat surface with flour to knead the dough.
- Swoosh some oil around the bowl. Leave dough in oiled bowl for 1 hour in a warm place (airing cupboard, near tumble dryer) and cover with a tea towel.
- 1 hour later: The dough should be twice the size.
- Prepare an oven tray 8 x 12 inch, grease with 2 tablespoons of infused olive oil and sprinkle a large handful of breadcrumbs on bottom of the tray.
- Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the dough to the shape of the tray – it will spring back – do not worry about this. Put the dough into the base of tray, shaping it as best as possible.
- Cover with tea towel and leave to prove for 30 minutes.
- Pre heat oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
- 30 minutes later: The dough should fit the tray better now, flatten the level of the dough then push your fingers into the dough to make shallow wells. It will rise.
- Drizzle 200 ml of the infused oil including the herbs over the dough.
- This is what gives focaccia the unique moist taste. Sprinkle with a little salt. Put tray in the oven for 25 minutes (until slightly browned).
- Once cooked: drizzle the remaining oil over the cooked focaccia as it will absorb it right up! Sprinkle 2 tsp of flaked salt over the top and when cool enough to touch, remove from tray, cut and serve.
- Keep in air tight container upto 4 days (if it lasts that long – it is very yummy)!!
Simple focaccia tastes absolutely amazing! However if you want to make the focaccia more interesting…
Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan, chop 2 red onions into half moon shapes and cook on a low – medium heat, adding approx 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar over time. Cook for 10 minutes. Add to top of the focaccia for the last 8 minutes of oven time. You could also add sundried tomatoes or artichokes.
It sounds quite complex but once you have made it once or twice you will have found what method works best for you! I try to write my recipes a simple as possible so anyone can make it!
Hope you give this recipe a go, and enjoy it! Guaranteed to impress friends, family, and even the in laws, mine definitely like me more now! 😉

text: solid & corrugated board For solid and corrugated cardboard waxes like Aquaseal, Enziflex, Latyl and Paraflex are used as a surface coating and flute impregnation product. Usually they are applied by means of a two-roller system, occasionally a wire wound applicator is used. There are three different types of cardboard, namely graphic cardboard, solid and corrugated cardboard. Graphic cardboard During the production of graphic cardboard, medium grammage paper is glued to both sides of the base sheet. Graphic cardboard is used for e.g. book- and binder backs and puzzles, and must show excellent flatness and the ability to remain very flat. Graphic cardboard adhesives must show the following general properties: low/permit good bonding of medium grammage paper or board to the cardboard the adhesive must have a high solid content in order to ensure the lowest possible moisture absorption to maintain flatness of the cardboard setting speed/open time combination is completely depending upon the machine requirement and the wishes of the user Some machines demand a high wet tack, as immediately after gluing the surfaces the cardboard makes a sharp bend, which means that the surfaces could move in relation to each other. Solid cardboard In case of solid cardboard, different types of paper or cardboard are glued to the base sheet (e.g. bleached kraft paper or gold foil). Solid cardboard is widely used in the packaging industry. An example is tomato boxes, for which the requirements are water resistance and flatness. Solid cardboard adhesives must fulfill the following general requirements: allow/permit good bonding of different paper qualities to cardboard and of the cardboard itself the adhesive must form a water-resistant bond: the requirements for water-resistance vary for different customers the adhesive must have a high solid content in order to ensure the lowest possible moisture absorption and to maintain flatness of the cardboard setting speed/open time is completely depending upon the machine requirement and the wishes of the user Corrugated cardboard Corrugated cardboard is produced by allowing paper to pass over preheated corrugater. The core sheet is adhered to either one or between two paper sheets. The breadth of the corrugated layer and the number of layers determines the strength of the corrugated cardboard. Corrugated cardboard is glued together by gelatinising starch.

In his essay, On the Natural History of Destruction, WG Sebald describes he RAF and US Air Force raids on Hamburg on 27th July 1943. The aim of the operation was to destroy as much of the city as possible:
Within a few minutes huge fires were burning all over the target area, which covered some 20 square kilometres, and they merged so rapidly that only quarter of an hour after the first bombs had dropped the whole airspace was a sea of flames as far as the eye could see. Another five minutes later, at 1.20 am, a firestorm of an intensity that no one would ever before have thought possible arose. The fire, now rising 2000 metres into the sky, snatched oxygen to itself so violently that the air currents reached hurricane force, resonating like mighty organs with all their stops pulled out. The fire burned like this for three hours. At its height the storm lifted gables and roofs from buildings, flung rafters and entire advertising hoardings through the air, tore trees from the ground and drove human beings before it like living torches.
It is hard not to think of the wholesale destruction of Hamburg (and of so many German cities) even now when you are standing in its spotless squares. After all, it is only seventy years ago, still within living memory, that these unthinkable acts occurred – thousands of civilians simply set alight in their homes and on the streets.
Undoubtedly, the city bears its scars, if you know where to look. Sebald talks about the reluctance of many Germans, then and now, to speak of the air raids – perhaps for Sebald it was easier to face, as he was an infant when the war ended, and he spent much of his adult life in the UK, where the war is still very visible, constantly reassessed and discussed.
Hamburg, to a casual visitor's eye, is a very peaceful and friendly city. We arrived at the Hauptbahnhof in the late afternoon, just as the light was fading. I was thinking a lot about Sebald after my walk around the East End of London a few weeks ago; I was inspired to reread Austerlitz, whose eponymous hero is a connoisseur of grand train stations. Parts of the Hauptbahnhof were bombed during the war, but it is still an imposing building, a symbol of Kaiser Wilhelm II's Imperial might.
As most of the station remains, it is easy to picture what this bit of the city would have looked like in 1938, before it was destroyed, when hundreds of children were put onto trains heading for the Netherlands and France via the Kindertransport. Eva Hesse was two years old when she left her native city. We think of her these days as one of the most radical New York sculptors of the sixties, in her cold water studio in the Bowery (back in the days when the Bowery was truly edgy), shaping latex and plastic into strange almost-organic forms. She must have carried Germany with her – although too young to remember Hamburg, something of the fear of the small child fleeing a war-torn place stayed with her. The attempt to use salvaged and post-industrial materials is all about taking things which are discarded, which do not appear to have an intrinsic value, and making something new of them. The spectre of death is everywhere – there are boxes she makes us peer into, like tombs; messy strands of rope-like tendrils that might have risen from some hellish swamp. Her mother survived the camps, and made it to New York, but committed suicide a few years later, when Eva was still a child. Eva faced illness as something inevitable – she died at the age of 34, but left a huge catalogue of work behind, as if she knew she had to work fast before her time was up.
At the Kunsthalle, the recent retrospective of Hesse's work was paired with a new show of pieces by Gertrude Goldschmidt, known as Gego. Hesse and Gego share many similarities – both were strong-willed Jewish women artists who fled Hamburg to escape the Nazis – although Gego is a generation older. When the two-year-old Eva was boarding her train at the Hauptbahnhof, Gego was soon to follow, but by then she was twenty-six, already trained as an architect. She scanned the globe for somewhere she would be accepted, and chose Venezuela as a destination because it seemed to be the sort of place she could practice – a country that embraced modernism (at the same time that the Nazis were destroying any art they labelled as 'degenerate'), where the war was a distant episode. The Caracas she arrived to was a vibrant and growing city, full of opportunity. It was here she made a name for herself designing a number of public projects, developing her ideas of kinetic movement, 'drawings without paper'.
By putting these two artists side by side, the Kunsthalle created a dialogue between them – one that begins with the line as a vehicle for connection and cohesion, a way of finding a wordless order within the chaos they both fled. Gego continued to work until her death at the age of 82. She remained in Caracas her whole life, but like Hesse, never forgot her roots.

What is psoriatic arthritis?
Psoriatic arthritis – an inflammation of the joints in psoriasis (a chronic disease of the skin and nails). In psoriasis, the skin appears red patches covered with white or grayish scaly flakes. Usually, psoriasis first appears between the ages of 14 to 45 years, with equal frequency in men and women.
Psoriatic arthritis develops in approximately 10% of patients with psoriasis. Often it occurs in a few or even many years after the first symptoms of psoriasis, but may appear before the onset of skin symptoms.
What causes psoriatic arthritis?
The exact cause is unknown, but it is assumed that the disease is caused by the interaction of immune and genetic factors and environmental factors. Up to 40% of patients with psoriatic arthritis have a family history of psoriasis or arthritis.
Symptoms of psoriasis include skin changes: red scaly patches on the skin, scarring and pockmarks in the form of discoloration of the nails on the hands and feet. Spots (doctors say "psoriatic plaques") may be very small. Very often they occur on the scalp at the hairline, on the tibia just below the knee or elbow to the forearm, but may be widely distributed throughout the body (on the trunk, on the head and extremities). Often, their appearance is accompanied by itching and discomfort for the patient.
Pain and swelling of the joints, usually the last joints of the fingers and toes, as well as wrist, elbow and knee joints. In some cases it may be struck only one joint, but also possible involvement in inflammation of several joints, so that the clinical picture resembles rheumatoid arthritis. Sacroiliac joints and spine may also be affected by the inflammatory process. Because of this psoriatic arthritis belongs to a group of diseases known as spondylarthrosis.
Psoriatic arthritis develops in a long time, but can also occur suddenly.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and will examine. Because symptoms of arthritis are similar, the doctor may order additional tests:
– X-ray
– Blood test
– Analysis of joint fluid.
If a patient has skin manifestations of psoriasis, the exact diagnosis can be made almost immediately. In other cases, a thorough examination, and sometimes the diagnosis is confirmed by the appearance of skin lesions.
Management of patients with psoriatic arthritis
Your doctor may attract other professionals to produce an optimal program for the control and treatment of your disease. In general, healthy lifestyles and general good condition of the body play an important role in your condition.
The main goals of treatment include reduction of pain and inflammation of the joints, control of cutaneous manifestations of psoriasis and delay (or prevent) damage to the joints. Treatment is complex and involves the use of external drug products for oral use and other methods of treatment.
In psoriasis, careful skin care. You should use soft cosmetics, soap, avoid exposure to any irritating household chemicals.
Depending on the severity of the disease, severity of pain, the doctor will find a comprehensive program of treatment for the disease, which will include a properly chosen physical exercise (physical therapy instructor will recommend a set of suitable exercises), work and rest, and medicines. There are different groups of drugs that control psoriasis and improve the status of the requested and the appearance of the skin. Arthritis to reduce pain, inflammation and stiffness of the joints most commonly prescribed drugs from the group of NSAIDs. These drugs work quickly and are not addictive. In severe cases, arthritis can be applied corticosteroids and immunomodulatory drugs.
In patients with psoriatic arthritis frequently observed chronic fatigue, depression. Your doctor will help to cope with psychological problems and make recommendations, compliance with which will help you improve the quality of life.
Promises "instant cure", "miraculous relief" sound very attractive to patients with chronic disease. Most of the funds advertised in this way, whether it be drugs, nutritional supplements, or any device is not dangerous, but to no avail. Typically, these tools are expensive and their effectiveness has not been proved or doubtful. Before taking any means, be sure to consult a physician.

I've only got a small amount of stitching done. I told myself when I started holidays that I couldn't let myself get into the habit of having an afternoon snooze every day - well, so far I've had an afternoon snooze every day! I've got a week of holidays left to get that sorted out.
Still got a few more jobs on the holiday list to get done, but we're going pretty well. I think we'll be going for a drive somewhere tomorrow so that should be nice.
The Busy Crafting weekend I went to last year, is on again for 2015 in October. I've already booked in for it and am really looking forward to it. If you're in Australia (Victoria), why not consider coming along... all you need to bring is your craft.
I went to the shopping centre today for the first time since before Christmas. I got there just as the shops opened so it wasn't too busy (I hate shopping centres). I got a new cover for my 'new' secondhand iPhone and tried to find a birthday present for my 5yr old nephew. His birthday is next weekend, and every shop I tried in 3 different shopping centres has sold out of 'kinetic sand'. I've ordered some online and hopefully it will arrive in time - fingers crossed. At least I know it is popular so he should like it.
And we're booked in to go back to Aireys Inlet in 2 weekends time so I'm hoping to finish the Elephant ABC then as I've already picked out my next holiday house project - you'll have to wait and see what it might be...
Happy Stitching,

text: Hello. How can I export the hillshade layer on Agate Lake (please see the attachment) into Blender? I tried exporting the hillshade agate lake as a shapefile then importing it into the Blender software. Nothing showed up in Blender. I already used "Int" and "raster to polygon" tools on the hillshade agate lake layer. Do you know of another way to export this into Blender--what I see on GIS is exactly what I want for the 3D printer. Thanks
