A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for several North Island regions, as well as warnings of torrential rain.
Metservice says severe thunderstorms are possible in Auckland, Waikato, Waitomo, Taumaranui, Bay of Plenty, Rotorua, Taupo, Hawkes Bay and Taihepe.
A trough with a moist northerly flow could also bring torrential rain of 25 to 50mm or more per hour this afternoon and evening in west Auckland, inland Hawkes Bay and the inland western parts of Bay of Plenty and Rotorua.
Metservice warns that rain of this intensity can cause flash flooding, especially about low-lying areas including streams, river and narrow valleys as well as slips.
Drivers should take care due to poor visibility and the likelihood of surface flooding.
It comes after heavy flooding in the Bay of Plenty on Monday, which overwhelmed the wastewater system in Ōpōtiki and led to portaloos being set up around the town in the evening.
Several roads are closed this morning and the Ōpōtiki District Council says it could take days to clear the debris and repair the damage caused by flooding.
The following roads are closed:
- Mōtū Road (Waiaua)
- Tutaetoko Road blocked from slip and investigations being carried out on the bridge so may be closed for some time
- Gault Road
- Pakahi Road
- Otara East Road
- Toones Road
- Waiotahi Valley Road
- Tirohanga is open with caution.
- NZTA have advised SH 2 Waioeka Gorge is open but down to one lane in parts.
Surface flooding has also closed a section of SH1 between Cobham Dr and Lorne St in Hamilton.

One of life's great pleasures is food. Eating some alone or with friends or simply flinging it around a crowded cafeteria, food has a special place in all our lives; if it didn't, we'd do something else three times a day and restaurants would probably all be T-shirt stores.
Personally, I'm down with food. Not being an organized religion kind of guy, my relationship to it may well be spiritual... how would I know. Without food, I'd probably need another job or a few new hobbies. Not that I have what you'd call a live to eat relationship; more a eat to live one, but monogamous and all-consuming, if you know what I mean. It was not always thus.
My first insight into this relationship came, as so many did, in university. Having moved off campus, ostensibly to embrace a greater degree of both freedom and responsibility - but really just to party our heads off - one of the first responsibilities I embraced was feeding myself. It turned out to be a responsibility I was sorely unprepared for, something that came as a shock to me considering I'd been eating food for something like 19 years. This utter lack of preparation was driven home when my longtime friend and housemate, Bill Logan, and I turned to each other and simultaneously said, "So, whaddya know how to cook?"
The answer was a joint and pathetic, "Not much." Dinner that night was canned chili over spaghetti. Filling, but somehow lacking in culinary nuance, its shortcomings were no impediment to it becoming our signature dish, overshadowed as they were by our combined skill at preparing actual meals. We both considered it a culinary watershed when one of us thought to shake Kraft parmesanlike sawdust over it. "Wow! Now if we only knew how to make salad," I exclaimed between enthusiastic mouthfuls.
That's when I decided I'd better learn how to cook, Bill having shown no inclination to do so and from all outward appearances seeming to be capable of actually living off cheap beer and Screaming Yellow Zonkers. "How hard can it be," I said, drawing strength from the sum total of my cooking experience, which pretty much amounted to having spent years not paying attention while my mom made countless meals.
The third time the fire department showed up - at the frantic behest of a concerned neighbour I'd like to point out since I still firmly believe everything was, well, if not under control at least nowhere near the flash point - they invited me down to the firehall for a cooking lesson. Or so they said. I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that for all their seeming benevolence, firemen can be really sadistic, sloppy cooks when they have someone not from their ranks they plan to stick with doing the dishes. Ironically, in an adding insult to injury way, they taught me how to cook chili. They also offered to have me back when they were cooking stew but my dermatologist advised against it.

Herbin' in the Kootenays: Botanicals in everyday life
It's no secret that I love herbs.
Because of this nerdy-ness, I always seek out herb gatherings, conferences, workshops-- anything to continue learning about all that herbs have to offer.
This past weekend I went to Kootenay Herb Conference in scenic Creston, BC. What a setting to learn about herbs! A beautiful creek nearby, giant cedars sheltering tents, and meadows of wild flowers and medicinal "weeds".
The beauty didn't stop with the outdoors; no detail was overlooked. Wild flowers adorned the space, from bouquets on the table, to foraging baskets greeting you at the door. The love of herbs was palpable, and it was comforting to talk the language of plants with like-minded individuals.
The theme of this year's conference was Herbs: Part of Everyday Life. Many of the talks focused on food as medicine and how we can incorporate medicinal herbs as part of nutrition. Amongst other topics, we learned about culinary herbalism, fermentation, and the power of "black" or anthocyanin-rich food.
Not only did the talks inspire me, but herbs accented every provided meal- calendula & nasturtium heads in salads, lavender shortbread, borage flowers topping desserts, hyssop flatbread, sauces and dressings with herbal infused oils-- heaven!
My oh my, my food since returning home is longing to be adorned with edible flowers and infused with botanical medicine. Future posts coming from this inspiration!
We also explored the energetics of plants-- something I feel like I haven't had the opportunity to do much of in my education. We touched, tasted, smelled and experienced what the herb needed to tell us.
As practitioners, not only are we mindful of the constituents and actions indicated for our patient, but must choose herbs and formulate based on the constitution and very nature of the individual we're treating.
Sharing this experience with other herb lovers was nothing short of magical.
If you're at all passionate about botanical medicine I urge you attend herbal conferences. I aim to do one larger conference or course a year to feed my knowledge and keep my passion for herbs strong.
A few tips to maximize your investment or help you choose conferences:
- Volunteer. If the conference has the option to volunteer, this is not only a great way to save money but to give back to the conference. Volunteering also gave me the unique experience of connecting with other volunteers and supporting the speakers.
- Ask if they have a student discount. If you're a student and money is tight, don't let this be the main detraction for your attendance. Contact registration and see if they offer a student discount. This is also incentive as a student to attend as many conference as you can!
- Connect. Chat with the speakers and conference attendees. You learn so much in these interactions and create a network for future contacts. I'm grateful to have gained a couple of opportunities for mentorship from this past conference.
- Pick conferences near and far! I can't think of a better excuse for a vacation. The conference drew me to the Kootenays an area that I typically drive through rather than stopping and exploring. Vacations can be planned around the conference, or the conference itself can be your "mini-vacay".
I did a course on Vancouver Island last year, again which was the perfect excuse to enjoy the island. I also attended a herbal gathering in Alberta where I will return after completion of my schooling. It was great to get back home and meet herbalists and clinicians that I will in the near future work alongside.
- Be a tad picky. While I want to go to every herbal gathering and opportunity, I know I have to be realistic with my bank account and also my time. Check ahead if there's a theme to the conference or speakers you're drawn to and want to learn from. This helps me choose between courses and conferences and divvy up my investment.
- Don't feel like you have to be an expert. Conferences aren't just for practitioners. Even if you feel like you're over your head, you'll come away learning something. You can always look back on those notes as you continue to learn. The inspiration of what's out there and what's untapped in your knowledge can be inspiring and motivating.
The Kootenay Herb Conference was exactly what I needed to reconnect infusing botanical medicine into my everyday life, invigorate my love for herbs, remain humble with my knowledge and use of plants, and to be present and "listen" to what the plants have to teach.
Been to any great herbal courses or conferences lately? What's your favourite thing to learn about botanical medicine?

Box fresh: Walker Art Center presents a series of artworks that think inside the box by Alexandra Alexa
'Everything important that I have done can be put into a little suitcase,' Marcel Duchamp declared in 1952. He was speaking of his Boîte en valise ('Box in a Valise'), a suitcase he had assembled and reproduced between 1935 and 1941 to house the body of work he had created up to that point; a mini retrospective exhibition that could be carried anywhere. This work, and that of four other artists, is currently on view at the Walker Arts Center as part of 'Unpacking the Box', an exhibition that explores the artistic potential of thinking inside the box.
The intimate showcase contains a range of playful objects, from the 1960s Fluxus movement to more contemporary interpretations of the box motif. Whether they are a portfolio of a single artist's work, like the Duchamp valise, or a standalone work of art, each creation invites an active viewer to participate with the container directly, by unpacking, perusing and even shuffling around the contents inside.
Ay-O's Finger Box Set (No. 26), for example, is a standard black suitcase filled with 15 wooden blocks arranged in a grid, each with a small, slightly-larger-than-finger-sized hole in the centre that contains a different object. The viewer's tactile sense is heightened during their experience of the work, as they must figure out what the boxes contain only by poking around.
Other pieces include George Brecht's Valoche / A Flux Travel Aid, a box containing an assortment of quirky artisanal children's toys, including a jump rope, a chess piece and plastic eggs, and Rirkrit Tiravanija's Without Title (Rucksack Installation), a kit of camping essentials.
The exhibition inaugurates the Walker's new Best Buy Aperture display case, a space that will be dedicated to highlighting materials from the museum's extensive archives and library. Drawing especially on resources and ephemera that are not commonly available to the public, the exhibitions held in the Best Buy Aperture will pull thematic strands from the Walker's exhibition history, and integrate the often fragile archival materials with media displays that foster a new way of experiencing the Center's rich collections.

A particular aim with this roundtable is to promote knowledge about changing policies, processes and structures and to encourage a sharing of issues and experiences with regard to operating in China (if Australian) and operating in Australia (if Chinese).
We plan to take a "bilateral" look, to consider our own policies and processes and the "fit" with China. I understand there are significant changes to facilitate R&D in China. How compatible are they with Australian approaches? How open are they to Australian organisations? Do we need to adapt or meet somewhere in the middle?
A possible outcome may be to produce a draft set of guidelines for eventual production of an easy to use manual or guide. However, this is for participants in this first exploratory seminar to determine the value of this.

Men's Golf Ready For Pac-10 Proving Grounds
April 24, 2001
CORVALLIS, Ore. - -
SCHEDULE: The Oregon State men's golf team heads back to Stanford, Calif., for the second consecutive week for the 2001 Pacific-10 Conference Championships Friday-Sunday, April 27-29. The teams play 36 holes on Friday, and 18 on Saturday and Sunday for a total of 72. Teams will bring six players and count the top five scores, as opposed to the standard five and four at most other tournaments. The Stanford Golf Course carries a par of 71 and plays to a championship length of 6,786 yards.
Oregon State is paired with defending champion and sixth-ranked Arizona State for Friday's first two rounds, and will tee off at 8:18 a.m. from the 10th tee.
THE COMPETITION: The Pac-10 boasts nine of the nation's top 50 teams, with Arizona State leading the way in the April 23 Golfweek/Sagarin ratings at No. 6. Arizona is No. 9, followed by USC (14), Oregon (29), Stanford (36), California (38), Washington (39), UCLA (41), Oregon State (50), and Washington State (75).

OSU COACH MIKE KETCHAM ON THE TEAM: 'Coming back from the U.S. Intercollegiate this weekend, it was a great opportunity for us to play the golf course and play it in a competitive nature to familiarize ourselves with the ins and outs of the Stanford Golf Course.
'Our goal is to keep improving, and we certainly would like to have a very good finish at the Pac-10 Championships, which will hopefully lead up to the NCAA West Regional a few weeks later, which we host.
'Anthony continues to be the leader of this golf team on and off the golf course, and we really are starting to get some of the younger guys to step up a bit. David Williams had a very impressive performance last week at Stanford as well as Michael Jurgensen. David Yarnes has certainly been a steady performer all year for us. Daren Grieg is certainly coming on. If you look at the scores that the guys have shot throughout the year, most of them at least have a round or two in the 60s.
'I feel like we're starting to play our best golf, and this is certainly the time of year you want to do that. I know the guys are excited to get back down there and compete again.'
KETCHAM ON THE STANFORD GOLF COURSE: 'In my opinion, Stanford Golf Course is one of the best, if not the best, university golf courses that I've seen throughout the whole country. It's a golf course that's very fair, it rewards great golf shots and penalizes bad shots. It's probably the fairest golf course we've played all year. If you play well, you can shoot a good number, and if you struggle a little bit, you can shoot 76 or 77 real quick.'
LAST YEAR AT PAC-10s: OSU claimed its highest finish ever at the conference championships, as the Beavers finished second with a score of 1,421 at ASU's Karsten Golf Course.
OSU's Tim Mickelson - since graduated - set a school record over four rounds with his 275, which placed him second. Mickelson also tied school records with his third-round 64 and his three-round total of 206. John Lepak tied for third at 278, and Dustin Wayne gave OSU three top-10 finishers when he took 10th with a 281. Anthony Arvidson shot 293 to tie for 36th.
ASU ran away with the title, shooting a tournament-record 1,384 to defend its title for the sixth consecutive year. ASU's Paul Casey won his third consecutive Pac-10 crown, a feat which has been accomplished only one other time in Pac-10 history, when USC's Sherman Finger did it from 1964-66. Casey shot 23-under 265 to win by 10 strokes.
Here are the team scores from last year:
1. Arizona State 1,384 (tournament record)2. Oregon State 366-357-345-353--1,4213. California 1,4284. Oregon 1,4325. Arizona 1,4436. Stanford 1,4487. Washington 1,4508. UCLA 1,4559. USC 1,45710. Washington State 1,466
LAST ACTION: The Beavers got a preview of the Pac-10s last week, as OSU finished eighth in the 18-team field at the U.S. Intercollegiate with a 870 at the Stanford Golf Course, which hosts the Championships this week. The Pac-10 had a lock on the top five spots, as Arizona, Arizona State, UCLA, USC and Stanford filled the top five. Oregon took seventh, OSU eighth, Cal ninth, and Washington 10th. Only The University of the Pacific cracked the top 10 as a non-Pac-10 school, placing sixth. Washington State was 14th, as all Pac-10 schools competed.
Mike Jurgensen turned in his best performance of the season, finishing tied for fourth with a 2-under 211. Anthony Arvidson tied for 11th at even-par 213 after shooting a second-round 65, which is the second-lowest score in school history. David Williams tied for 14th while playing as an individual.
OSU IN THE RANKINGS: OSU is 50th in the Golfweek rankings, up from 54th in last week's poll. Anthony Arvidson comes in 51st, after cracking the top 50 last week at 49.
HOME OF THE NCAA REGIONALS: Trysting Tree Golf Club is home to the NCAA West Regionals for both the men and women in 2001. This will be the first major collegiate tournament held at Trysting Tree in the 12-year history of the course. The women's regional is scheduled for May 10-12, and the men's from May 17-19.
HEAD OF THE CLASS: The men's golf team handled business on the course and in the classroom during the fall term, as the Beavers posted a team GPA of 3.0, which was the highest mark of any OSU team for the fall term.
THE COACHES: Head coach Mike Ketcham is in his fifth year at Oregon State, and he has taken the Beavers to three NCAA Regionals in his first four years. The Beavers' highest finish at a regional came last year, when they tied for 13th and were two shots from qualifying for the NCAA Championships. OSU finished a school-best second at last year's Pac-10 Championships under Ketcham's guidance.
The Ottumwa, Iowa native arrived in Corvallis after spending two years at San Jose State, where he was named Big West Conference Coach of the Year in 1996. The Spartans were a consistent top-25 team during his tenure.
Ketcham played two years at Odessa Junior College in Texas and two years at the University of Arkansas. He also played two years on the U.S. Golf Tour, the Asian Tour and the Canadian Tour.
Brian Watts is in his second year at OSU, and serves as assistant coach to both the men's and women's programs. The Western Oregon State University graduate brings vast experience to the Beavers, as he played professionally on the Golden State Tour, the Florida State Tour, and on the Candian PGA Tour for four years. He also worked as an assistant professional at the DeBell Golf Course in Burbank, Calif., and at Golf Classics of America in Beverly Hills and San Dimas.

Surfite Longboard Ring - "Azure" Size 7
Surfite Longboard Ring - "Azure" Size 7
Surfite Longboard Ring - Upcycled Surfboard Resin - Sterling Silver - Split Double Band Ring - Size 7
Blue/Translucent Blue/Teal
Rock your surf culture status with carefree colors that pair with everything and make a bold, beachy statement.
Colorful surfboard resin has been shaped into a long oval shape in our Longboard Ring design. Surfite is bezeled in fine silver on a sterling silver backplate. Split-double ring band has been hammered for texture and sparkle.
Surfite cabochon is cut, shaped, and polished from start to finish by us at Low Tide Landing. Catch every eye with a truly one of a kind treasure that's a guaranteed conversation-starter!
Ring is 100% handmade in San Diego, California by Casey and Jess of Low Tide Landing. Upcycled/Repurposed surfboard resin ("surfite") cabochon set in fine silver (0.999) bezel, on sterling silver (0.925) backplate and ring band.
SURFITE is a playful name for upcycled surfboard resin. It's a man-made by-product of the surfboard glassing process: hand-mixed resins are poured over the boards, and the excess spills over the sides and onto the shop floor, where it builds up, layer by layer, color by color.
We've partnered with some local shapers and glassers to turn that would-be waste material into a beautiful alternative "gemstone". Though a time- and labor-intensive process the resin slabs are cut, shaped, smoothed, and polished, until they become the beautiful surfite pieces featured in our jewelry.
* SInce Surfite is made of resin, it is a very durable material. However, like any natural gemstone, please take care when wearing as the material can become marred if knocked against a hard surface with enough force. Both surfite and silver can be gently buffed with a polishing cloth to bring it up to a sparkly shine.

Inspired by the musical stylings of Hailu Mergia and his 1985 album "Hailu Mergia and His Classical Instrument", I have created a musical wand with visual JavaScript accompaniment that mimics the Ethiopian style of soloing that Mergia features on his record.
I felt that using the wand instrument would be more engaging and instructive if there were a visual component. So using the topics we covered this semester in The Nature of Code, specifically particle systems, vectors, forces and oscillation, I made a set of musical particles that exist on a screen. Each time a musical note is played from the wand, the corresponding particle jumps up into the air on the screen. The ball then falls down to the "ground", bouncing until it comes to rest in it's original place until the note is triggered again. This kind of playful interaction makes it more clear to the user the effects of their actions with the wand on the musical notes and adds an element of feedback, heightening engagement.
You can see the signal flow in the picture below. The wand itself is connected to the laptop via Bluetooth MIDI, which is a simplified and straightforward implementation of BLE. Each time the wand plays a musical note, a MIDI note is received in MaxMSP where it is forwarded to both Ableton, where the sound is generated, and to p5.js, where the particle movement is triggered. There are other MIDI specific effects that are contained in MaxMSP which correspond to specialized movement coming from the wand. For instance, when the user swings the wand quickly downwards or upwards, a special sound is played with a corresponding visual response. These interactions are not explicit and are discovered by the user
The project is centered around the Arduino MKRZERO micro-controller board. I connected a BM-A01 Bluetooth MIDI transmitter to the TX pin of the Arduino to receive the notes. The wand's orientation and movement is tracked by a BNO055 9-axis accelerometer.
I imagine this piece being used to highlight Mergia's story and musical stylings. Mergia lived under the censorship of the Derg dictator ship in the late 1970's and made his way to the United States in 1983, settling at Howard University where he recorded Hailu Mergia & His Classical Instrument. The album features simple instrumentation - a Rhodes electric piano, a synthesizer, and a drum machine - which I have recreated somewhat here. The music imparts a sense of joy and playfulness that I sought to capture in the interaction. The sound of the wand is rolling and tumbling, where each note is played in sequence to the one next to it, up and down through the musical scale, which mimics Mergia's rolling right hand technique, similar to other Ethiopian artists such as Emahoy Guèbrou.

This home is located in Dallas. A woman contacted me to paint this home and she planned to give the painting to her good friend as a gift. The friend is the homeowner and is a professional interior designer. The home is white, so it's fun to bring out the whites with various pastel shading. I love the blue door and the patterned porch floor!
Connecticut Lakehouse was a fun commission from a woman who wanted to surprise her friend with a painting of her lakehouse in Connecticut as a gift. The challenge was to get a lot of the elements into one painting as well as the water and the awesome stonewall. This home had so many patios and gathering spaces that while painting it from photos that the client took without the homeowner knowing, I could actually almost "hear" sounds of laughter and people congregating for lakeside fun. I could also "hear" the water splash against the wall. I've been to this lake and from my own photos, I know how much the water color changes based on sky and light. It can take on a variety of casts from light lavender (really!) to green-brown to what you see here.
Stroh Cottage, 8 x 11, sold, is the quintessential 1800s cottage. Owned originally by the Stroh family of Chicago (beer family) and then passing hands to a couple of other families (each was tied to the beer industry) it was eventually purchased by the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island and renovated. (It is next to the hotel).The painting was juried into a show and sold at the show. Click here to contact me about purchasing note cards of this painting
I just happened to stumble upon this cute house in Clarkston, Michigan and had to paint it. What else is there to say? Who wants to sit in that chair? Me. The Red Door, about 8.5 x 11 inches, was juried into a show and sold at the show. It's available in note card. Click here to contact me about purchasing note cards.
Blue House with Gate, 8 1/2 x 11 inches, was painted following an August morning walk with my son near the boardwalk on Mackinac Island, Michigan. It's one of my favorite colors and so I had to paint it! The leaves take on a blue cast, picking up from the feeling of the blue home. Click here to contact me about purchasing the painting or a note card of this painting.
New York Home, 8 x 11, was commissioned by a woman who grew up in New York but moved to Colorado with her husband. Eventually her brother moved to Colorado and finally, their parents, too, decided to leave upstate New York for the Rocky Mountain state to be close to their children. The daughter asked me to paint her childhood home from photos she provided and she surprised her parents with the painting as a gift for Christmas. This house was so fun to paint, knowing that it held such special memories for the family. And I just love the front door — lime!
Cape Cod Sweet was commissioned by a Connecticut woman who wanted to surprise her friend with a painting of her Cape Cod cottage. She was thinking it would be a nice thank you gift for her friend, who invited the woman and her family to stay there during their vacation.I was crazy about the blue hydrangeas, white fence and waving flag, not to mention the red door and the wreath with little white starfish on it. There's a sailboat in the front window, which is very hard to make out, given the size/scale of the painting. But it's gestural and we're thinking the recipient will know just what it is!
This home is in Tampa, Fla. I loved mixing the gray-blue tone to get just the right shade for the exterior. Also a fave is the hibiscus tree, far left, the homeowners' attention to detail regarding the front porch, flowers, flag, etc. It's a brick street so was fun to create a brick feel.
Anne & Greg's, 8 x 11 inches, was painted as a gift. Every fall, this couple decorates their exterior with the signs of the season -- pumpkins, mums, etc. This is a very large home, but I enjoy the small vignettes around its exterior, including the teal-ish door, which looks so inviting next to these orange pumpkins, don't you think?
Birdhouses, 8 by 11 inches, was juried into a show and sold at the show. It's a little spot that my sister and I stumbled upon while shopping. We couldn't keep our eyes off this exterior wall and its colorful display of birdhouses. I also love the fresh whites (railing, door, facade, etc.) There was a really great huge cement fish sculpture in the foreground but my camera didn't catch all of it so I'll just have to go back again and see if he's still there; he might make it in to the next painting! Click here to contact me about purchasing a note card or print of this painting.
Welcome to Cottage Inn, 8 x 11 inches, was inspired after a tour of this lovely inn (Cottage Inn) on Mackinac Island. I love the innkeepers' attention to detail when it comes to plants and flowers. That front porch? Oh, to sit there with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy the splendors of Market Street goings-on. This painting was promoted not he inn's Facebook page as a promotional giveaway to guests. A woman won the painting. Prints area available as are note cards. formats. Click here to contact me about prints and note cards.
This painting, Houston Home, was commissioned by a woman whose sister-in-law and husband moved from Houston to Anchorage. The woman wanted to give her sis-in-law a gift so that she'd always remember her pretty home in Texas.

Connecting determination makers to a dynamic community of knowledge, individuals and ideas, Bloomberg shortly and precisely delivers business and financial information, information and perception all over the world. My wife was completely submissive to her father's needs for her life future, for her work ethic, for her every little thing because he was the pinnacle of the family and he or she knew if she lived in that household she was to be useful in all ways to keep the family alive.
I did a Google on the word, and located that there are 3,780,000 returns (guess that's lots of people who know how you can spell it). Once more it is your job to search out out if leaving their nation is your candidate's prime motivator or whether she really loves you.
Mr. Daly argued, and by some means received the bank to confess, that they created the money with a stroke of a pen at the time of the mortgage (and that there was no actual official legislation empowering them to do so.) For the reason that financial institution did not "put up" something of value (other than the ink from the pen) for Mr. Daly's dwelling mortgage, there was no consideration, subsequently the mortgage settlement was null and void.
For a time as I learn this story of Elisha, I prayed, "why?" In reality, as a result of this occurred so quickly after Elisha took over Elijah's ministry, my first thought was, "He really thinks quite a lot of himself." Some kids name him a name, so he calls down curses from God.
I am beneficiant with time, persistence, and like to my household. Me and my household had been going through family problems from the begning we began our household life. Once I started doing just a few events, I noticed I may make some cash with Silpada, so for about six months decided to attempt it as an official enterprise.

Note that we are no longer accepting applications for the Challenge.
Devastating fungi are killing Hawaii's iconic ʻŌhiʻa trees. Are you ready to invent a way to help us detect and address Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death? Think you've got a good idea or potential solution? You could win up to $70,000 for your solution!
The first step to containment and eventual eradication of the disease is to be able to detect it – before it kills and before it spreads. This challenge seeks innovative tools and creative solutions to rapidly and cheaply detect the fungal species Ceratocystis lukuohia and Ceratocystis huliohia (formerly Ceratocystis fimbriata) in asymptomatic trees (i.e., trees that do not show signs of infection) as well as at the landscape scale in larger stands. We also seek tools that can detect the potential invasion transmission pathways (e.g., wind, streams, transported soil, forest products, tools, equipment, etc.) and potential reservoirs of the fungus that lead to its spread.
The Challenge is to create low-cost solutions to detect (and predict) the invasion pathways and the spread of the fungus in the environment, as well as solutions that would help contain or reduce the spread without harming other beneficial species.
Three categories for solutions in the challenge:
1. Field-based Detection Of Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death In Asymptomatic Trees
The Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death fungus is an invisible killer. Its spores are microscopic, and without boring into the tree, it is currently impossible to detect the presence of the fungus. The fungus infects the tree's interior sapwood and chokes the tree's water transport system. Trees may be infectious but asymptomatic for over a year, yet the only visual cue of infection occurs when a tree's canopy suddenly turns brown, and the tree begins to die. At this stage, teams are deployed to collect wood samples from the tree and submitted to a laboratory for analysis. When the leaves turn brown, it's too late in the infection process to save the tree and/or prevent spread of the infection.
2. Detection Of The Fungus At The Landscape Level
Many ʻŌhiʻa trees are found in remote sites or challenging terrain (hilly and mountainous, with steep slopes, and/or thick foliage, etc.). Being able to reach such sites is difficult, and there is a need to understand the spread of the pathogen at the landscape level to allow us to focus our efforts around control and eradication. We invite low-cost solutions for rapid field-based detection of the infection in trees across challenging terrain and in stands of trees of more than five acres, and preferably up to 100 acres.
3. Environmental Pathway Identification, Including Predictive Assessment
We do not fully understand how trees become infected, what are potential reservoirs for the pathogen, and how the disease spreads through the environment. Understanding the spread of the fungus is critical, yet because the fungus is not visible to the naked eye, it is impossible to visually track it along suspected invasion pathways, including wind currents, soil samples, and possibly rain.
Most scientists who study fungal pathogens recognize that curing infected trees is difficult or near impossible, especially if the pathogen has spread across vast areas. Early detection is a critical component of all invasive species management programs, and improvements in our capacity to detect the fungus will help us contain it, and likely offer the best chance to eventually eliminate this disease.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B)
The vascular disease such as the atherosclerosis is apt to initiate around the arterial branch. Also, the fluid mechanical damage such as the erosion and the corrosion frequently occurs at the edge corner of the T branch which is one of the most important fluid elements. Therefore, the vascular disease and the fluid mechanical damage are associated with the fluid mechanical interaction such as the wall shear stress which affects the boundary wall between tube wall and fluid flow. In the present project, the establishment of the direct measurement method of wall shear stress and the development for shear stress sensor has been tried using the electrochemical method. Up to now, the wall shear stress can only estimated through the velocity profile or the dynamic pressure near boundary wall. The electrochemical method, in which the redox system comprises the electrolyte and the test platinum cathode, is the only direct measurement technique of wall shear stress.First, the frequency characteristics is investigated in laminar sinusoidal pulsating flow which simulates the blood flow. The frequency response is valid for the non dimensional frequency less than 10. Second, in turbulent flow the present method is valid for the Reynolds number less than 5000. Furthermore, the present method has been applied several flow situations, i.e., the right angle branch simulating the arterial bifurcation, the cerebral artery model, the respiratory asymmetrical bifurcation, and T branch as the pipeline element. Consequently, the specification of wall shear stress sensor such as the diameter of electrode, the adhesive agent, the electrolytic solution, and the annealing method has been established.

PARIS — The Belgian prosecutor's office announced on Friday that it had detained a new suspect in the attacks in Paris and had released one who had been previously detained. But it said it would still require the man who was released to appear before a judge and limit his activities.
Separately, in France, President François Hollande announced that on Feb. 3 he would seek a renewal of a state of emergency for an additional three months, which would continue to allow the police to stage raids without the permission of a judge and to put people under house arrest.
There have been more than 3,000 raids since the measures were put into effect after the terrorist attacks on Nov. 13 in the Paris area, and there are 400 people under house arrest, according to Bernard Cazeneuve, the interior minister. But the number of raids has slowed significantly since initial weeks after the state of emergency began.
With the new detention in Belgium, nine men are now in jail there in connection with the attacks, and two more are facing charges but have been released until they are required to appear before a judge. Two men are in detention in France in connection with the attacks.
Four men, including the only surviving member of the attack team, Salah Abdeslam, are still being sought. The others still being sought are a man who was seen driving Mr. Abdeslam between Brussels and Paris, Mohamed Abrini, and two men who were traveling under false Belgian identities but who may have played a significant role in directing the attacks.
Unraveling the Connections Among the Paris Attackers
As many as six of the assailants in the coordinated Islamic State terrorist assault in Paris were Europeans who had traveled to Syria.
The two men who were released have been identified only as Ayoub B. and Pierre N. They are prohibited from meeting with other radicalized youths, communicating with them on the Internet or visiting Internet hate sites or those that encourage violent jihad. They may also face other limitations on their movements, but officials in the Belgian prosecutor's office would not offer details.
The new person in detention and facing charges is Zakaria J., who knew one or more of the suspects before the attacks and is accused of aiding their preparations, according to a person close to the Brussels prosecutor's office who spoke anonymously because he is not allowed to speak to the news media.
Most of those who have been detained in Belgium appeared to have had tangential roles in the attacks. At least five of them were people who were in touch with Mr. Abdeslam after the attacks. Two drove him from Paris to Brussels and two others drove him around afterward. A fifth is said to have been in touch with him by phone. How much they knew about his role in the attacks is not clear.
Four of the others detained and charged were friendly with one or more of the attackers during the period when they were being radicalized, and one other man who is being held is suspected of having been in contact with Hasna Aitboulahcen, a cousin of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected on-the-ground leader of the group, who helped him find a place to hide after the attacks on Nov. 13. Ms. Aitboulahcen died with him in a police raid on the apartment where they were hiding in the Paris suburb of St.-Denis.
It is increasingly clear that it was in Belgium that the final preparations were made in the two to three months before the attack and that at least five of the attackers had lived in Belgium.
In all, 10 people were directly involved in the attacks. Seven were killed on Nov. 13. Two others, Mr. Abaaoud and one other member of the team, were killed in a police raid in St.-Denis on Nov. 18. The 10th man, Mr. Abdeslam, escaped, possibly without carrying out his mission to stage an attack.
Friends picked him up and drove him to Belgium, and after a few days in his old haunts near the Brussels suburb of Molenbeek, he disappeared. Those friends are now in detention in Belgium.

Alex Berger - VirtualWayfarer/
Alex Berger is an old friend of ours we knew back in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2011, he moved to Copenhagen, Denmark to get his Master's Degree from the University of Copenhagen. He did, but fell in love with the city... and never left. Today, he makes his home right in the thick of things, deeply immersing himself in the culture.
Alex definitely has the travel bug, maintaining the excellent blog VirtualWayfarer.com. It's filled with his writing about his wanderings about Europe, and plenty of outstanding images he's taken along the way.
Living most of his time in Copenhagen as a broke student, Alex has explored all the nooks and crannies the city has to offer in search of low-cost, high-quality dining, drinks, and more. Traveling Copenhagen with Alex as a guide is better than having a native guide. He's learned to love his adopted city and love sharing it with others!

Chronic Back Pain? Now's the Time to Schedule a Consultation
Chronic low-back pain is one of the most common causes of disability worldwide. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Americans spend at least $50 billion each year on lower back pain and it's the leading cause of lost productivity, making it imperative for patients to seek appropriate treatment with an orthopedic specialist to help eliminate their pain and reduce their risk of recurrence.
What is Chronic Back Pain?
There are two types of back pain: Sub-acute and Chronic. Sub-acute refers to pain in the back that lasts between 4 and 12 weeks. The second type: chronic back pain is persistent pain that lasts 12 weeks or longer. Unfortunately, it's possible to injure your back in typical everyday activities like lifting boxes, reaching into your car trunk or twisting while swinging a golf club. It is so easy to injure your back that almost everyone has experienced low back pain at one time or another. While most of these cases may resolve on their own, chronic pain requires orthopedic treatment.
What are the Causes of Persistent Back Pain?
Some of the typical reasons for pain in the back include:
- Overuse, strain, or injury either through work tasks, sports or daily activities
- Normal aging and/or genetics
- Herniated disc
- Degenerative disc disease
- Facet joint degeneration
- Compression fractures
What Are Common Symptoms?
Just as there are varied causes for pain in the back, there is also a wide range of symptoms. For example, chronic back pain may either be dull or sharp. Pain can occur in a small area of the back or over a large area with or without additional muscle spasms. This type of persistent pain can also cause additional symptoms in one or both legs, such as pain, numbness, or tingling, often extending below the knee.
Chronic back pain can negatively impact several areas of life. Some of the debilitating effects include:
- Reduced ability to perform daily and work tasks
- Insomnia and reduction in quality sleep
- Decreased ability to participate in physical activity or exercise
While it's true that some degree of back pain and discomfort can be normal from time to time, with more and more people spending large portions of the day bent over their smartphones or working at their desk for hours at a time, are leading to a higher percentage of persistent pain in the back. With an accurate diagnosis from an orthopedic doctor, it's possible to develop a treatment plan to successfully eradicate long-term pain.
At Meier Orthopedic Sports Medicine, we specialize in leading-edge, minimally invasive techniques as a preferable alternative to surgery. We have been performing regenerative injection therapy (RIT) for chronic back pain with very promising success. This progressive treatment, which consists of a combination of stem cell prolotherapy, intra-discal platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and dextrose epidural injections, harnesses the body's own healing capacity to help restore pain-free function. Rather than rely on steroids to temporarily mask the pain, we focus on optimizing tissue health and regeneration for longer-lasting pain relief.

Chronic back pain can happen to anyone. However, with the help of Beverly Hills orthopedic surgeon and regenerative medicine expert Steven W. Meier, MD and his team at Meier Orthopedic Sports Medicine (MOSM) it's possible to heal from your chronic back pain. Contact us to schedule a consultation today.
