In this way, when a link or other cause fails, and a path to a bridge terminal has to be repaired, this one informs the controller, sending a Packetln OpenFlow package containing the destination address to be repaired. Its most obvious application is in switches for Software Defined Networks (SDN). The group seeks to reach licensing agreements, commercial or of collaboration agreements with companies from the telecommunications sector, electronic devices and / or computer applications that establish the communications between transparent bridges.

Universidad de Alcalá-OTRI posted this:Intelligent regulation system of pedestrian crossings by monitoring the waiting areas and adaptive traffic light controlThe research group Intelligent Vehicles and Traffic Technologies of the Automation Department of the University of Alcalá has developed a system that allows the intelligent control of the opening and closing times of a traffic light that governs a pedestrian crossing, especially in urban areas. It is a road safety system that ensures that pedestrian traffic at pedestrian crossings is carried out safely, while optimizing the opening and closing times of traffic lights, achieving an improvement in traffic flow in urban areas. For this purpose, the monitoring of waiting areas for pedestrian crossings is carried out by means of a stereoscopic vision system with infrared illumination. The images provided by the stereoscopic vision system are processed by a computer, obtaining information regarding the presence of pedestrians in the waiting areas. This information is used to act on a traffic light that controls the pedestrian crossing. The group is looking for licensing agreements, technical cooperation agreements, manufacturing agreements and commercial agreements with technical assistance with companies in the sector of transport infrastructure and traffic safety as well as public institutions, such as municipalities and councils.

University of Huelva posted this:Power supply system controlled from internet for devices connected to a lanNowadays there are devices that allow the control of devices connected to a network from the own network. The classical method to access them from a different network is the redirection of the corresponding TCP or UDP connections to local networks from the border router. The redirection requires a high level of expertise in communications to be performed. Another strategy that is often used is the creation of VPN (virtual private network). This technique allows the control of access but does not allow connections to be discriminated or the management of power supply. The proposed system allows you to control the person and the moment to access as well as the free access. The modification of these constrains can be performed in the course of an access session. In addition, the system allows the control of power supply of the device you want access to. The interface is very friendly and does not require continuous changes in the configuration of the router. The system has a local database access control and validation can be delegated to other servers using protocol validation like LDAP, IMAP, POP3, etc.

University of Huelva posted this:New device and system for the recovery of communication equipmentThe present device is focused on the automatic recovery of operating systems for routers and switches, which is one of the fundamental claims on this invention since there are no current devices in the state-of-the-art for such purposes. Another particularity that distinguishes to the present invention is that it is not only software or hardware in contrast to other approaches, but of a complete hardware/software device (i.e, both capabilities are combined). Another of the most significant singularities is its portability, since the invention is based on a reduced size device (non rackable) and made up of autonomous battery. This allows to carry out any function with total freedom to move. Besides the comfort, it contributes a great improvement in working time, since operating with distant devices implies an additional time in turning off, turning on again, and enabling the necessary services to start the recovery procedure. As additional feature, the invention looks for the universality and independence from manufacturers or device model. Besides this purpose, another differentiated function is the capability to store the firmware of the communication devices to be recovered (i.e., the image of the operating system) through an internal physical storage unit of great capacity.

Barça came unstuck tonight in Vigo, ripped apart by a splendid Celta side that demonstrated a greater desire for the victory. Barça transfer target Nolito curled in a brilliant goal in the 26th minute to put the Galician side in front before Iago Aspas doubled the lead four minutes later after a mistake by Gerard Piqué. Aspas grabbed his second of the night ten minutes after half-time to put Celta three up. Neymar Jr pulled back a consolation goal but Celta substitute John Guidetti completed Barça's misery by making it 4-1 before the end. Continue reading

I had to get my girl some bling. When I saw this collar, I wanted it immediately. I have a Boston Terrier with a lot of black fur around her neck. So, I knew the blue would definitely stand out on her. I was right! Willow weighs around 33-35 lbs (don't tell her I told you!) I got size Medium for the collar. Unfortunately it was too small and just wouldn't fit around her chubby neck. Then, I remembered that I have a necklace extender, and it works perfectly! Now the collar fits like it should. It's super easy to snap on with the hook latch. The collar is actually more flexible than I thought it would be. Her tag ring easily slipped on one of the links. It's a sweet little collar.

Evolution of human diet: examining the past and the future/
The role meat in our diets is a bit of a classic debate, fueling passionate remarks on both sides of the table. A headline from the World Health Organization, reporting that processed and red meat cause cancer, created a stir in the public media just last month, for example. While most search for a black and white ruling on meat, it's more accurate to say that meat has served varying purposes for humanity at different times. To assess its role in our lives today, we must look at where we've come from and where we're headed.
Comparative anatomy
Our biology clearly indicates that our evolution has favored the ability to eat both animals and plants.
- There are several carnivorous indicators, including that:
- we have enzymes that are able to digest the protein (protease) and fat (lipase) found in meat.
- we have a vat-like stomach is filled with hydrochloric acid to also aid the digestion of animal compounds.
- There are several herbivorous indicators, including that:
- we have salivary amylase, an enzyme specifically for carbohydrates in fruits and vegetables that isn't found in carnivores.
- we have an exceptionally long small intestine, optimal and specialized for digesting and absorbing plant matter.
By anatomical and physiological definitions, there is no doubt that we are omnivores.
But... "omnivore" paints a simplistic picture
Labeling humans as omnivores simply indicates that we have the ability to eat both meat and plants. It says nothing about the composition, amount, frequency or consequences of what we choose to eat. To say that we are historically opportunistic feeders may be more accurate, meaning we consume what is most optimal. Optimal options may include what is most available or what was most nutritionally dense, for example.
Brain and gut evolution
Archeological data indicates that our hominid, smaller-brained ancestors were largely eating fruits, nuts, seeds, and tubers. The expensive tissue hypothesis posits that our brains became larger and more complex because our diets improved in quality, allowing our guts to become smaller and freeing energy to supply an energy-expensive brain.
- Hunting contributed to this, propelling social structures and language and positively reinforcing the ability to improve diet quality.
- Cooking also increased the nutrient availability and digestabilibty of many foods.
How much meat was "caveman" consuming?
Just in the way that American cuisine is different from any other cuisine around the world, the diets of our ancestors varied depending on what was available at their location. For example, the diet of the !Kung, from the region around Namibia, Botswana and Angola, comprised of approximately 33% animal and 66% from plants, while the Inuit from the Canadian Arctic prospered on mainly fish, seal, walrus and whale meat. But research suggests that for most hunter-gatherer societies, plant sources of food were the staple and animal sources were more varied because they weren't as dependably available.
Where we are today
The agricultural revolution and the subsequent industrial evolution have spawned two correlated trends: human productivity and population are booming. Our increased productivity has led to a diet that it is quite different from our ancestors. Essentially, foods are more processed, we eat significantly fewer fruits and vegetables and a lot of meat. Here's a closer look at meat:
- Meat consumption rose from 10 billion lbs in 1909 to 52 billion lbs in 2012.
- Poultry is beginning to overtake red meat consumption, but the majority is still red meat and a quarter of meat is processed.
- Meat contributes to Americans consuming 1.5 times more than the average daily protein requirement.
- Animals are regularly injected with antibiotics and hormones to make them grow larger, faster.
Health consequences
Industrialization has made our food more nutritionally dense (processed rather than whole foods, hormone and antibiotic injected meat). While our bodies once thrived and benefitted from increased nutrition availability, they are not equipped to handle the nutritional density so rampant in our diets today. The health correlates of this are clear:
- Risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity, certain cancers, and early death all increase with meat consumption, and particularly with red meat.
- Diets rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans all prevent these diseases and promote health.
- Added hormones in meat are linked to obesity and cancer, among other effects.
- Antibiotics are contributing to antibiotic resistance and gut dysbiosis, contributing to obesity, allergies, and food intolerances.
Environmental consequences
Married to each of the health risks associated with animal agriculture are the massive environmental consequences. Here's some perspective on the environmental costs of animal agriculture:
- To produce 3 lbs of meat 2,644 gallons of water are required.
- To produce 3 lbs of potatoes, 357 gallons of water are required.
- One acre of land can produce 250 lbs of beef
- One acre of land can produce 50,000 lbs of tomatoes, 53,000 lbs. potatoes and 30,000 lbs carrots.
- Animal agriculture contributes to 14.5% of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Waste from animal agriculture is creating dead zones in our oceans.
- 40% of cropland in the U.S. is dedicated for direct human consumption. The other 60% of cropland is dedicated to feed for livestock, which is incredibly inefficient.
- The U.S. could feed 800 million people with the feed that goes to livestock.
looking at the circumstances
Population is projected to reach around 11 billion by 2100. That's four billion more people than our current population. At this rate, food production will have to double to feed all of those mouths. Climate change, which is predicted to reduce crop yields 20-40% in certain regions, complicates this necessity.
Now consider the role that meat has in our future. Meat consumption holds considerable risks to our health. Meat consumption exerts extreme costs on our environment. Meat, especially in the quantity and quality it's consumed today, no longer serves the purpose it did for our ancestors. It's now markedly harmful to us and our environment. We must seriously consider that is it not optimal or possible for conventional animal agriculture to continue its prominent role in human life.
Taking steps to reduce consumption of products from animal agriculture in general or ensuring that meat is grass-fed and organically grown is a motion towards the health, happiness and harmony for ourselves and the earth.

College Roundup: Cal Poly signs five high school volleyball players
Cal Poly volleyball head coach Sam Crosson on Wednesday announced the signing of five high school players to National Letters of Intent to play collegiately for the Mustangs.
The five who signed with Cal Poly are Casey Carroll from Los Altos, Raeann Griesen of of San Diego, Savannah Nieman of Lake Forest, and Caihla Petiprin and Hannah Mathiesen, both of Carlsbad.
Carroll, a 6-foot-1 opposite, comes to the Mustangs from Homestead High and the Vision Volleyball Club. She is a four time all-league selection and three-time team captain who recently led her team to the league title. She will also be on the varsity basketball team for the fourth straight season.
Griesen, a 6-2 outside hitter from Bishop High and Coast Volleyball Club, was named to the all-San Diego Section team in 2012 and was a first team CIF-Southern Section Division 4 all-star. She also has enjoyed tremendous team success with her club team.
Mathiesen, another 6-2 outside hitter from Santa Fe Christian High in Solana Beach, was a three-year varsity starter and team captain this season. She helped her team to a runner-up finish in the CIF-Southern Section Division 4 playoffs last season and has been a second team San Diego Section Division 4 all-star.
Niemen, a 6-1 middle blocker from Los Alamitos High and the T-Street Volleyball Club, has led her team to a No. 6 state ranking this season and a No. 35 national ranking, and led her team to undefeated league seasons last year and this year. She also led her club team to a bronze medal finish in the 2013 Junior Olympics in Dallas.
Petiprin, another 6-1 middle blocker, comes from Carlsbad High and the Coast Volleyball Club. She was a first team all-league player last year and this year and led her team in blocks, kill percentage and kill efficiency both seasons.
Moorpark 3, Cuesta 0
The Cougars (14-9, 7-5 Western State Conference) lost 26-24, 25-19, 25-22 at home in their regular-season finale.
Whitney Meyer led Cuesta with 11 kills and added 11 digs. Riley Cooks added nine kills and a team-high 15 digs.
Blake O'Brien logged 21 assists for the Cougars.
Cuesta served for the first game at 24-21, but went on to lose the next five points and then the match.
Cuesta finished in third place in conference for the sixth consecutive year. The Cougars are on the bubble for a playoff berth.
Mustangs sign English player
Third-year Cal Poly coach Damon Coupe on Wednesday announced the signing of Molly Reed of Sheffield, England, to a National Letter of Intent.

Nadav Kander's most recent project Dust, will be presented in New York for the first time in April 2016 at the Flowers gallery. Rooted in an interest in the 'aesthetics of destruction,' Dust explores the vestiges of the Cold War through the radioactive ruins of secret cities on the border between Kazakhstan and Russia.
Image above: ©Nadav Kander, PriozerskXIV (I Was Told She Once Held An Oar), Kazakhstan 2011/ Courtesy Flowers Gallery
Priozersk (formally known as 'Moscow 10') and Kurchatov are closed cities, restricted military zones, concealed and not shown on maps until they were 'discovered' by Google Earth. Enlisted to the pursuits of science and war, the sites were utilized for the covert testing of atomic and long distance weapons. Falsely claimed as uninhabited, the cities, along with nearby testing site 'The Polygon' set the stage for one of the most cynical experiments ever undertaken. Scientists watched and silently documented the horrifying effects of radiation and pollution on the local population and livestock.

Demolished to preserve their military secrets, the areas now consist predominantly of the ruinous architecture and desolate landscapes featured in Kander's hauntingly beautiful photographs. A result of the Cold War and of the relentless quest for nuclear armaments, the ruins stand as accidental monuments to the melancholic, dark and destructive side of human nature.

Fascinated by the area's past and driven by discovery, Kander's photographs portray stark fact and bleak setting with a characteristic poeticism. Secrets seem to seep from the silence of the crumbling monuments, bowing under heavy grey skies. Describing what he saw as 'empty landscapes of invisible dangers' Kander's images evoke his sense of awe and fear as he responded to these places and to the weight of their history.
As Will Self writes in his foreword to Dust: "These images do not make beautiful what is not, they ask of us that we repurpose ourselves to accept a new order of both the beautiful and the real."

Pregnant women in Brooklyn have highest levels of parabens
The results were published online in the journal Environment International, in an article titled, "Maternal and fetal exposure to parabens in a multiethnic urban U.S. population."
Parabens have been widely used in cosmetics and foods for decades, but in recent years have been found to disrupt the expression of hormones during influential times of development, possibly affecting fetal, child, and even adult health. The authors point out that recent studies have raised awareness for potential health effects, particularly during fetal development and in children younger than six to 12 months of age, a period when detoxification systems are still immature, "and thus leaving the exposed more vulnerable," notes senior author Rolf Halden, PhD, professor and director of the Biodesign Center for Environmental Security at Arizona State University.
Article co-author Laura A. Geer, PhD, MHS, associate professor in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences in the School of Public Health at SUNY Downstate, said:
"What we know from the study is that parabens are being transferred from pregnant women to their fetuses. This is problematic because parabens have demonstrated endocrine-disrupting potential in animal studies, leading to developmental and reproductive disorders. It is too early to know if these same effects can occur in humans, and if so, at what levels of exposure."
She adds, "I would not characterize these findings as alarming, but rather of concern, since we do not have relevant regulatory limits for these substances. The European Union countries set limits by volume per product, a good starting point. Limiting exposure to these substances is complicated because of their ubiquity in personal care and consumer products. Higher exposure levels in more vulnerable populations, such as in our study, gives further justification for us to answer the questions of what higher levels mean for health."
In a follow-up study, the authors are examining possible impacts on birth outcomes; results are forthcoming.

I have not yet used the new phone but I like the shape and the features sound up to date but the layout of the buttons and screen could be better.
I love this phone great when theres no beer mats, hope they are water proof
Nokia has exceeded itself :) The phone is really greatt.. I am looking forward 7600 coming to Turkey. Thnx NOKIA...
This phone is really something new, now I admit that its the same Keypad as the SX1, but it's only that. Some of the people are saying they copied the whole phone, they just took the keypad idea, it has a totally different design. Now here this phone is tremendously great with features and I also like the design since its somehow different than all the other phones. as for SE P900, its great with features, very technologized design, and am pretty sure its performance is great. But Im sure its not targeted for me because I am just a 16 year old, and the SE P900 is focused on business people, so I think I'll be better off with this phone since it really is targeted for teenagers
the nokia 7600 is a very unique handset. the desing is very attracting, based on the features listed above the phone seems to be very modernized and up to date. I think that the phone is perfect for a female who is technically oriented. GREAT MOBILE WORK NOKIA KEEP IT UP.
Is this really going to market ?
though it really has very nice functions, but how do they explain the design ?
to the person below me..
Buy it and shove it up in ur ass... it will suit there better and will never change for a zillion years :)
i wouldn't change nokia in a million years... i think 7600 has great design, fancy and different than any other so i'm buyin' it...

When people want to overcome addiction, they should know how weekly team building helps addiction recovery. They often feel very lonely and isolated, which makes it difficult for them to ask for help and support. The more support that they can get from others, though, the better the chance that they have to overcome addiction.
How Weekly Team Building Helps Addiction Recovery
One of the goals of rehab is to make people feel like they're part of a team again. While individual therapy has its place in rehab, most addiction treatment programs offer some form of group counseling, too. The team-building exercises during group sessions can provide many benefits during treatment.
First and foremost, team building helps people build a network of support during their time in rehab. This support system is often so strong that it keeps providing support even after treatment. Learning to count on others is a critical part of re-entering society.
Likewise, team-building programs teach people the value of relationships. Addiction puts a considerable strain on bonds with family members and friends. Family members don't think that they can trust those with addiction, and those with addiction feel isolated. Team-building exercises can mend their views on relationships in general.
Keep in mind that team building isn't just for people in rehab. It's just as important for family members to join the exercises with their loved ones. Getting them involved is how weekly team building helps addiction recovery during and after treatment.
How to Build a Successful Support System
The goal of team building is to develop a stable support system in rehab eventually. Beyond weekly exercises, people can expand their network of support in other ways. The first is to ask for help. They shouldn't let fear of asking for help prevent them from developing a long-lasting support system.
Next, they have to determine what they want from their support. Do they just want people to listen to them when they have a problem? Maybe they want someone who can prevent them from relapsing. Whatever they want, they have to make sure to voice it to their support group.
We Can Provide Weekly Team Building and Much More
At Melrose Recovery Group, we know how important team building is during an addiction program. In fact, we use several exercises during group and adventure therapy. These services help you build a strong support system and reliable bonds with others. Beyond that, however, we offer several other programs and services such as:
- Family therapy
- Drug detox
- Exercise therapy
- Inpatient addiction rehab
- Music therapy
- Adventure therapy
Don't attempt to take on the burden of addiction alone. Learn more about how weekly team building helps addiction recovery. Reach out to the Melrose Recovery Group today at 866-271-3438.

Expansion Project Update
After the last congregational meeting held on May 3, 2015, the Session appointed the Diaconate as the project committee, giving them the charge of selecting a general contractor for the expansion project, with oversight of all related construction matters. Deacons Ricky Cox and Bruce Leighty were selected as co-chairmen for the project and a builder was selected. This Sunday, Ricky Cox will introduce our builder, who will give a short update on the expansion project. We will hold a congregational meeting in the near future to get congregational approval to move ahead with the proposed project. If all goes well, we hope to have this project approved and completed by the end of 2015.
Bud Shepard Testimony, Sunday Worship, July 5
Surfside PCA's own Sergeant Vernon C. "Bud" Shepard will be sharing his testimony with us at our morning worship services on July 5. Bud was serving in the US Army in 1969 when his helicopter was was brought down in Vietnam. Bud was wounded but able to avoid capture for four days before being taken prisoner. Sergeant Shepard was twice awarded the Air Medal for heroism in an aerial flight. Please come join us to hear Bud's powerful story and how his experiences formed and impacted his faith in Christ.

Tickets will be available for $5.00 each in the Fellowship Hall on Sunday, June 28th or stop by the church office to purchase tickets. Renee Goldfinch will be at the gate on game night to give out tickets to those who have previously purchased them. Deadline for purchasing tickets is Monday, June 29th! Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 925 and the Myrtle Beach Pelicans have partnered together to honor the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War and military personnel throughout the Grand Strand. Two of our Surfside Presbyterian Church veterans, Dudley Kruhm and Bud Shepard will be honored during the opening ceremony. Come out and enjoy a great evening!
Youth NY Missions Dessert & Showcase Fundraiser Our Youth NY Missions team will be hosting a Dessert and Showcase Fundraiser, Wednesday, July 8th at 7pm. Come join us for some incredible entertainment, delicious desserts, and to hear about what our youth and college studets will be doing in inner city New York with school aged children there. See how the Lord might lead you to be involved!
This week our Sunday Sermon "The One God Opposes" – This sermon will continue to focus on the humility of Christ found in Philippians 2:3-11. In this passage we will look at the glorious "declension" of Christ as he humbled himself to die for our sins. Paul says, "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
"Pride Cannot Live Beneath the Cross", by CH Spurgeon – "Jesus is the great teacher of lowliness of heart. We need daily to learn of Him. See the Master taking a towel and washing His disciples' feet! Follower of Christ, will you not humble yourself? If you see Jesus as the Servant of servants, then surely you cannot be proud!… And if you do not lie on your face on the ground before that cross, then you have never seen it: if you are not humbled in the presence of Jesus, then you do not know Him. You were so lost in your sin that nothing could save you but the sacrifice of God's only begotten Son. Think of that, and as Jesus stooped for you, now then bow yourself in lowliness at His feet. A sense of Christ's amazing love for us has a greater tendency to humble us than even a consciousness of our own guilt. May the Lord bring us in contemplation to Calvary, then our position will no longer be that of the pompous man of pride, but we will take the humble place of one who loves much because he has been forgiven much. O Christian, pride simply cannot live beneath the cross of Christ."
Ladies Summer Tuesday Morning Bible Study – Our Tuesday Morning Ladies Bible Study will be starting back up June 30th at 10 am in classroom 113. It will run for 6 weeks through August 4th. We are doing "Encounters with Christ" from the Gospels. No book, other than the Bible will be needed! Each week a different Surfside Lady will be teaching on an encounter a person in the Gospels has with Jesus and then they will share their own personal encounter with Christ and how he has changed their life.

By Divya Solgama(18 Apr 2008)
Rita (Mumtaz) is the daughter of an archaeologist (Prithviraj Kapoor) who is excavating an ancient site. She is engaged to marry Suraj (Biswajeet), an artist, and her father's best friend's son. At the excavation site, the workers unearth an ornately decorated room with a life-size statue of a dancer as its centerpiece. There is also a skeleton wearing bangles that exactly match the statue's. They take the bangles for safekeeping. Suraj hears the haunting strains of a song and follows the sound to its source. A mysterious beauty (Sharmila Tagore) tells Suraj that she's been waiting for him, and seems to expect that he knows her too. She says her name is Kiran. Over the next few days, she continues to appear in front of him, only to vanish suddenly, and he becomes obsessed. Her allusions to their past together still make no sense to him, but he can't stop thinking about her. Suraj hosts a party to which he invites Kiran. Rita is upset, and her father even more so. Professor finds some similarity between Kiran and the statue and finds Kiran wearing the same ornament which is wear by that statue. After investigation Rakesh tells the Professor that about 2000 years ago, there was a city Chandrika Nagar and King Chandravilas killed Kiran who loved a sculptor. On the pretext of painting her portrait, Suraj continues to meet Kiran and finally acknowledges to her that he loves her. Prithviraj and Rakesh are gradually convinced that she is the reincarnation of Kiranmai. Rakesh takes some photos of Kiran with Suraj but when the photos are developed, only Suraj is there. After Suraj spends the night in a cave with her, Prithviraj confronts him. If he doesn't marry Rita, he will lose his inheritance per his father's wishes. Suraj stubbornly declares that he has no interest in his inheritance. Rita's patent anguish at his betrayal fails to move him either. At the temple site under a full moon, Kiran finally tells Suraj that she is not a human being, but the ghost of Kiranmai. They were lovers in a former life and if he wants to be united with her forever, he will have to kill himself on this very night.

Are You Writing Now?
This past month I hit all my goals. I finished a round of edits on Out of Secrets and did some edits on Path of Angels #2, I read not one but three books (one was a reread but I'm counting it!) I finally looked at Daniel's edits for Path of Angels #1 and sent it out to another beta. I did subscribe to all the blogs signed up for AYWN?, but it seems not many people are posting anymore.
Maybe it's time to disband it? I don't talk to Gwen much (she's in Africa right now doing goodwill stuff, I think,) so no idea how she'd feel about it. But why get rid of it when it's been a good tool for me? I'm a big panster and creating goals has really helped me get stuff done. I don't want to disappoint myself. I don't know, and I hate calling it quits. The badge is up on a few other people's blogs. What do I do about that? Message them and tell them it is no more and they can take it down?
I suppose I can procrastinate on the answer. Another day! Today, let me figure out my new goals.
Sound good? Yeah? Too bad if it doesn't, I was only being polite. ;)
2/28/2013 02:57:27 pm
Sounds like a busy but successful month. It's nice to meet you. I'm A to Z-ing it this April with a thousand others. I'm giving you the Liebster Award to kick off the new year with A To Z. It's a chance to get to know you better and for you to meet others of like interests. Good luck.
3/6/2013 09:11:18 am
Nice to meet you too.
3/6/2013 09:12:07 am
Very true. You never know if one day something you think up might take off. I think for now I'll keep it - if only for myself.

The most useful tools have been Facebook for overall brand conversations and Twitter for a news and conversation stream. It was refreshing to talk with Justin, who seems to have put in a lot of thinking time and assessment before putting his toe in the water. Even with that, he says he spends only about 20% of this time on social media related activities. Keeping a couple of extra tabs open - one for Twitter and one for Facebook - keeps him very responsive to his audience.
I was surprised that they haven't used video more, seems like a natural connection. But Justin assures me they plan to do more video on their Youtube Channel in 2010.
Here are a few questions I asked Justin:
1. How do you measure success in social media?
2. What advice do you have for businesses just getting started?

Punchdrunk and how to "Sleep No More"/
Felix Barrett and Maxine Doyle, from the British troupe Punchdrunk, discuss creating the interpretive, interactive theater piece "Sleep No More." Over 100 rooms are on display in a renovated space in New York's Chelsea gallery district, and accompanied by an eerie soundtrack, masked audience members walk at through the rooms, where performers re-enact scenes from Shakespeare's "Macbeth."
I've spent most of my life marketing, producing and supporting the arts, in particular dance. I am also a technology-loving nerd, sharing a lot online, currently working with digital development teams. We talk about augmented reality and social networking and everything being media, but none of that compares to what "Sleep No More" accomplishes.
In short, this production is the most extraordinary and wonderful (in the true, honest sense of both words) that I've experienced in recent years, if not in my whole life.
It is wordless Shakespeare, living film noire, the best of contemporary dance, true augmented reality, masterful storytelling, respectful homage, detailed design, adult entertainment (by which I mean it provokes thought beyond the nudity that it does have, which is more like the nudes in paintings by masters,) and that is not even taking in consideration the technical requirements needed to produce and perform such a "play" every night.
Kirby Ferguson is right, everything is a remix, and Punchdrunk have taken the performing arts and remixed them creating something completely new, yet familiar, and absolutely spellbinding.

Broken Record
BRS, I have learned, is a highly contagious disorder characterized by an almost compulsive need to repeat the same stories multiple times, often to the same select group of people. This nasty little critter feeds on the curiosity of well-meaning friends and relatives and, oddly enough, on facebook status updates, which cause it to multiply and spread at a startling rate. And, like most opportunistic infections, BRS is far more common in the chronically ill, and more common still in those of us faced with a life-threatening and yet life-saving surgery. It also seems to inevitably flare up after each successive dry run. Interestingly, although BRS involves the retelling of the same story over and over (and over) again, another odd symptom is that the story itself seems to vary significantly from one retelling to another. At times BRS makes one prone to wild exaggeration, turning a simple dry run into a near-death experience replete with crazed anesthesiologists and dramatic background music. Other retellings of the same experience involve an almost laughable apathy and lack of emotion, reducing the 10 hour ordeal to a mere run-of-the-mill night at the hospital during which you just happened to be poked with 4 separate arterial lines. And neither story is inaccurate, as BRS apparently makes one as prone to mood swings as you might expect from a large-scale prednisone taper.
At this point I'm fairly certain that I have one of the most advanced cases of BRS ever recorded.
In fact, BRS has now spread endemically throughout my apartment -- not even my sister or father (who live the majority of their lives outside my 18th story domain) seem immune to its grasp. Case in point: the other day I was vigorously retelling the story of the "little dry run that wasn't" to a friend over the phone. For those of you unaware, this tale refers to a call I received last Wednesday afternoon, that for various reasons did not result in my receiving new lungs. But, since I never left my apartment, I refuse to count it as a true dry run, hence its title as the "little dry run that wasn't." At any rate, I was retelling this story (which I am aware that I just retold on this blog as well -- love the irony), and doing so in a particularly dramatic fashion, when I suddenly heard my mother's cell phone ring. Undeterred, I continued with my own theatrics, including tears and some choice words. It was at this point that I overheard snippets from my mother's conversation: "Wednesday," "lungs," and "transplant." It dawned on me that we were both repeating the tale to two separate people on two different phones at the same time, and both of us probably for at least the third time that day. It was, in short, a BRS code blue moment -- and a scenario that has become increasingly common in my tiny little apartment.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that we don't have anything else to talk about, really. It's just that everything else we might say -- "wow, my hair has gotten really long lately" or "Sampson seems unusually hyper this morning, maybe we gave him too many treats?" -- seems to pale in comparison to "ohmigod we got ANOTHER call last night and here's what happened and would you believe they did this and yes, of course we're still waiting and no we have no idea when the real thing will happen but wow can you believe we might get new lungs soon?!" I mean really, how could a hyperactive puppy compete with that kind of dramatic monotony?
As far as I know, there's really only two cures for BRS: 1) an end to the underlying condition (in my case, waiting for transplant), and 2) time. Right now I think I'd settle for the first of those, with the understanding that the second will eventually follow. And in the meantime, I hope you all can bear with me as I indulge my BRS on this blog, by phone, and perhaps occasionally in person. I promise that I will recover.
And as long as we're waiting, let me tell you a story...

While it's not the same story, I have been doing the same thing in my house. My story includes "Muppet", "blog", "kids", "CF", "fundraising", and "positive thoughts for people".ReplyDelete
Lately, it's been hard to pull myself out of the "CF Community" part of my life and talk about other things. I can't even imagine how hard it must be when you are dealing with something that's the magnitude of your particular case of BRS. Be peaceful with the thought that some day (very soon) your case of BRS will include different symptoms and words like "rehab", "post TX", "long walks with Sampson" and "climbing Mt Everest tomorrow."
Peaceful and Green/Blue Things. ;-)

Don't question your thoughts and your expression of them... know that every time you share.. even if it seems like a repeat to you, you are helping a tremendous amount of people. Be you and never change!ReplyDelete
haha, your such a funny writer. Love the BRS lolReplyDelete
-Laura M.
Even with all the serious things going on, it's so nice to hear your witty sense of humor! So funny!ReplyDelete
As a recovering BRS stricken person, I wholeheartedly concur that as disturbing as this syndrome is, it is nearly impossible to stop-- especially during times of high physical drama. So don't fight it--let it flow. Remember, this too shall pass--well, until we come down with something else worth telling over and over and over and over and over....ReplyDelete
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Sherri

Piper, I absolutely love reading your blog! Our family has been praying for you and I hope that some day you get cured of your BRS. (Although I'm sure all of us have cases of it every now and then). Until that day comes, we welcome any outbursts that your BRS may cause. :) Good luck with everything and we will continue to keep you in our prayers!ReplyDelete
Is it bad when you click on the label "Dry Run", scroll to the bottom, and see "Older Posts ->"?ReplyDelete
I promise it will end soon (in a good way) - promise!!!

Piper, I love reading your blog. My mom is waiting for a double lung transplant in Toronto, also for eight months. We've had one dry run, I can't imagine going through four. Your strength is awesome. Hope to hear good news soon :)ReplyDelete
Hey Piper, I recently saw your facebook updates and saw your blog about your transplant. Wishing you all the luck in world for a transplant and a speedy recovery! Good to see you have your great sense of humor through all this.ReplyDelete
So glad you are sharing your BRS with us, lol. Hang in there. I am adding you to my prayer list :) Someone asked me about my son yesterday and my thoughts went to your blog! Made me smile inside even though the subject matter always makes me tense :)ReplyDelete
Piper, I have to warn you. BRS doesn't end when you can breathe again. The record merely changes...but at least it's a different tune and it's much catchier than the other record :)ReplyDelete
Let's dance!!!

Almost half of the firms in England and Wales will not be required to reduce their leakages before 2015 despite figures showing they have been losng more than 3.3 billion litres every day
The country is also facing the worst drought in 25 years, with hosepipe bans imposed on millions of customers due to last until the end of the year.
Meanwhile, annual customer bills have soared from an average £64 to £376 since 2001. Ofwat has said that tougher action on leaks would mean even higher bills.
The regulator said eight out of 21 water companies had been set zero reduction of leaks targets to 2014/15, despite hosepipe bans being declared in central and southern England.
The firms include Yorkshire Water, which failed to meet its 2010/11 targets and as a result was required to spend an additional £33m on leak repairs.
Ofwat said it was urging firms to "step up to the plate" to reduce their leakages. However customers may have face higher prices to cover the cost of fixing leaks, it added.
An spokesman said: "The current drought shows the importance of tackling leakage. Companies need to listen to - and respond - to their customers.
"During a period of drought, companies need to step up to the plate and do more to tackle leakage. We also need to take a long-term view.
"Climate change and more households will stretch water supplies even further in coming years.
"We know leakage matters to customers, but they also tell us they don't want large rises in bills to reduce leakage. And fixing leaks can be costly.
"Replacing all the pipes in England and Wales would cost an estimated £100 billion - and still leakage levels would only be halved. We need to get the balance right, so we can ensure customers continue to get a fair deal."
Labour environment spokeswoman Mary Creagh told the Daily Mail: "The public are rightly concerned about rising water bills and hosepipe bans.
"Ofwat sets leakage reduction rates, but leaks are only fixed when the cost of lost water outweighs the cost of repair. That's not good for consumers or the environment."

Croatia with Eagle of Norway..."Where will we go?"
General Itinerary: (Please note: this is a general itinerary of what you can expect. Your actual itinerary will be dictated by weather conditions at the time of charter along with your group's preferences) Please use the following itinerary as a guide for ideas to discuss with your crew.
Croatia Start/Finish:
If you are arriving the night prior to your charter-we will coordinate your logistics for transfer. If you are arriving in the morning, we will coordinate your pick up from the airport to get you to the marina. Charter starts at 5pm and ends at 9am on your final day.
Day 1, Saturday: Trogir – Island of Drvenik Veli, swimming at Krknjaši (6 NM)
Trogir (Tragurium): If the idea of sipping your first-morning coffee by the beautiful Croatian
sea sounds pleasant to you, Trogir is the place to be! Dating all the way back to ancient times
and taking part in the UNESCO World Heritage, you will enjoy its numerous famous sights
which reflect Trogir's long history and urban tradition, such as the Cathedral of St Lawrence,
the Church of St Nicholas, Kamerlengo fortress, Ćipiko, Town Hall and the town gate. After
getting to know Trogir's unique beauty, you can get a taste of Croatian gastronomy at local
restaurants. The town does not go to sleep in the evening either, as you can visit many of
the city's bars to get a glimpse of summer nights in Croatia.
Drvenik Veli: For the next stop at your journey, we recommend visiting the Island of Drvenik
Veli, located on the northwest of the Island of Šolta. It is a great chance to experience the
everyday life of the locals which mainly revolves around the island's beautiful nature and
surrounding sea. As for the sightseeing, you can visit the church of St Juraj. Since the coast of
the island is indented, it gives you the opportunity to explore its secluded coves, sand and
pebble beaches, as well as its bays. You will experience a more intimate atmosphere at the
Island of Drvenik Veli, but it still offers some of the main tourist content: restaurants with
traditional Dalmatian cuisine, shops, etc.
Krknjaši: The most beautiful beach on the Island of Drvenik Veli is the Krknjaši beach,
guarded by a bay and two islands, Big and Small Krknjaš, in the southeast part of the island.
The location makes it rather close to towns Trogir and Split. It is a perfect location for all the
yachtsmen as it can be a safe overnight anchorage spot. It is ideal for swimming and relaxing
in a peaceful surrounding, as the island itself does not carry but one traditional
Mediterranean cuisine restaurant.
Day 2, Sunday: Island of Drvenik Veli – Primošten, swimming at Stari Trogir (14 NM)
Primošten: You cannot miss visiting this charming, picturesque peninsula! The whole
peninsula is full of traditional medieval architecture which gives it a special ambiance. The
most popular landmark is the Church of Saint Juraj built in medieval ages, located on a hill
overlooking the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea. Around the town you can find many coves and
beaches, all of them being a very photogenic scene! Besides the beautiful nature and the
town's tradition, Primošten can offer you a rich nightlife: the largest club in Dalmatia is
located there and will not disappoint you!
Day 3, Monday: Primošten – Skradin, swimming at the Island of Zlarin (15 NM)
Skradin: You will inevitably fall for the charm of this small town. It is filled with nature's
wonders and traditional everyday life. You can experience a great, fresh gastronomic offer
while listening to the traditional Dalmatian folk singing, klape. As for the landmarks, we
recommend visiting the Visovac monastery and the Skradinski Buk waterfall, the point where
the river Krka connects with the sea.
Zlarin: Across the town of Šibenik lies the Island of Zlarin and the town of the same name. It
is well connected with the mainland by ferry and the fact that the Kornati National Park is
just nearby gives Zlarin a strategic location. It is a perfect location for swimming and relaxing
in a tranquil ambiance, thus it is great for families with children. You can learn about the
local's way of life, which revolves mostly around the agriculture and the sea. No cars are
allowed on the island, so it is a very popular destination among yachtsmen.
Day 4, Tuesday: Skradin – Vodice, visiting Krka National Park (12 NM)
Vodice: Vodice is a coastal town nearby the town of Šibenik and is settled between the Krka
National Park and a wide bay. It is a popular tourist destination with a developed tourist
season's offer, so everyone will find something suitable for them. Here you can experience
all the characteristics of the southern Croatian coast: nature, architecture, gastronomy,
Krka National Park: The seventh national park in Croatia that encloses the middle-lower
course of the river Krka is also located very close to the town of Šibenik. The Skradinski Buk
waterfall and its seventeen cascades are its main attraction. The picturesque untouched
nature will amaze you and give you a good example of Croatia's beauty. The national park
offers various scientific, cultural, educational, recreational and tourism activities.
Day 5, Wednesday: Vodice – Island of Piškera (Kornati National Park), swimming at the
Island of Lavsa (20 NM)
Island of Piškera: You will enjoy your yachting experience by visiting this small inhabited
island which contains a marina operated by the ACI Club. The marina is well sheltered from
the wind thanks to the Island of Panitula Vela, with which Piškera shares a great fishing
tradition. The Island of Piškera is a part of the Kornati Islands, so you can be sure you will
witness a breathtaking scenery and crystal-clear sea.
Day 6, Thursday: Island of Piškera – Rogoznica, swimming at the Island of Žirje (32 NM)
Rogoznica: A blend of a traditional Mediterranean village with a modern tourist destination,
that would be Rogoznica. It is located on a peninsula with a deep bay and rich forests,
making it a great place for yachtsmen and nature lovers. It is also not very far from the town
of Šibenik. During the summer, Rogoznica holds many events, the most popular ones being
folk festivals (Fishermen Night, Rogoznica Night), that give you the opportunity to
experience the rich nightlife and festive ambiance. The gastronomic offer will not disappoint
you either, since Rogoznica is well-known for its fishing tradition.
Island of Žirje: The farthest island of the Šibenik Archipelago is the Island of Žirje. It is
abundant in beautiful forests, interesting architecture and great swimming locations. The
tourists are not very common here, so the atmosphere is quite intimate and it will allow you
to relax and enjoy the peaceful islander ambiance under a mild climate.
Day 7, Friday, return: Rogoznica – Trogir, swimming at Stari Trogir (24 NM)

JPMorgan Chase, the largest U.S. bank, disclosed in a securities filing that the data breach reported in late August was much larger than previously thought, impacting 76 million households, or two out of every three American households, and 7 million small businesses. The JPMorgan Chase data breach took place this summer, and news of it broke in late August.
The new estimate is far greater than JPMorgan Chase's original estimate of one million affected accounts, reports The New York Times.
JPMorgan Chase has not said how many individual customers or accounts were affected, instead using the number of households, according to The Huffington Post.
Data breach limited to customers' contact information
The extent of the data breach and the information accessed was found to be limited to general user info and details of the administrative and technology systems used by the bank, according to JPMorgan Chase.
The personal information obtained by the hackers includes names, mailing addresses, emails and phone numbers. It does not appear to include more sensitive information that would allow hackers to directly access users' funds or steal identities, such as passwords or social security numbers.
JPMorgan Chase said there is no evidence, as of yet, that the stolen information was used to commit fraud. Still, this contact information could provide hackers with a head start in accessing users' accounts. Hackers can use personal information to get around security questions meant to verify an individual's identity -- a strategy thought to be used by the hackers who leaked the nude photos of several celebrities in September.
The information about the bank's technology systems include knowledge of the software and applications used within the bank, including those that are part of the cybersecurity system. With knowledge of the inner workings of such a large organization, hackers could have a much greater opportunity to quickly identify and exploit weak points in JPMorgan Chase's systems, reports The New York Times.
5 things Chase Bank customers should do to protect themselves
While it's unclear the exact extent of the breach, with two-thirds of U.S. household affected it's safe for all Chase Bank customers to assume that their information was compromised. While account information was not stolen, Chase Bank customers are still at a greater risk now. If you're a Chase Bank customer, here are five things you should do to minimize your risk.
- Keep an eye on your statements. If you don't already check your bank statements regularly, start. Review all purchases and keep an eye out for tiny charges -- according to CNN Money, fraudsters will sometimes charge just a few cents to test out credit card information before racking up charges.
- Update login information. Review the information used across services and accounts, and update passwords for logins that use information that might be compromised.
- Check you security questions. Choose those that are more obscure or not easily found out. Hint: it's not that hard for a hacker to find out your mother's maiden name or the name of your elementary school. Time magazine even suggests treating security questions like passwords and making up nonsense answers, like your mother's maiden name is Jingleheimer-Schmidt.
- Be wary of scammers. The main way hackers can make use of your information is to sell it to scammers. These scammers will know how to contact you, and will know you're a Chase Bank customer and might use this info to put a convincing face forward. Make sure to verify all contact. If you're contacted by a service representative from any company, don't reply. Hang up or ignore the email, find the actual service number from the corporate site, and call that number directly to verify anything you might have been told.
- Don't switch banks yet. JPMorgan was set to spend $250 million on security this year -- and that was before news of the breach broke. If this behemoth bank is scrambling to keep up with hackers, your money is unlikely to be any safer with smaller banks or credit unions that have less resources to put toward security.

Don't eat - no, eat
Rep. Margaret Henbest, D-Boise, is a nurse who has made a point in recent years of urging her fellow House members to lose weight and eat healthy. But today, she was sponsoring a resolution at the Senate State Affairs Committee, HCR 60, that promotes hunger awareness and declares October of 2006 to be "Hunger and Food Insecurity Awareness Month."
Henbest told the senators, "This is an interesting resolution for me, because I'm the one who keeps harping on people in the House for eating too much food."
The resolution makes note of hunger problems in Idaho.
