A canker sore is a small, painful sore that develops inside the mouth. Also known as aphthous ulcers, these shallow sores can be found on or under the tongue, inside your cheek or lip, at the base of the gums or on the soft palate. Canker sores can appear on their own or in groups and are recurrent.
Although canker sores can be painful, they will usually clear on their own within one to two weeks.
Although often confused, canker sores are not like cold sores, which are caused by the herpes virus. Unlike a cold sore, canker sores do not appear on the lips and are not contagious.
What causes canker sores?
Although the exact cause of this type of mouth ulcer is unknown, hereditary factors, stress or tissue injury are the likely causes of canker sores on the gum, tongue or soft palate. Acidic or citrus foods can also trigger a canker sore, as can sharp teeth, braces or ill-fitting dentures. Cigarette smoking and allergies may also increase the likelihood of canker sores. Some cases of canker sores might highlight an underlying health condition, including nutritional and immune system problems, and gastrointestinal tract disease.
Canker sore symptoms
The symptoms of canker sores include:
- A small, shallow and symmetrical ulcer that is white, gray or yellow in colour and surrounded by redness
- A painful sore inside your mouth which can appear on or under the tongue, at the base of the gums, inside the cheek or lip or on the soft palate
- A burning or tingling before the ulcer appears
In severe cases, a canker sore may be accompanied by one or more of the following symptoms:
- Swollen lymph nodes
- A rash
- Joint Pain
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Sluggishness
If you are suffering from a canker sore and any of the above symptoms you should visit your dentist or physician.
Canker sore treatment
Although canker sores can be painful at first, this should lessen within the first few days and the mouth ulcer should heal entirely without treatment in around one to two weeks.
If your canker sore is persistent, unusually large or particularly painful, or if the sores are spreading, your dentist may prescribe a corticosteroid ointment or antimicrobial mouth rinse. Over-the-counter solutions may also be recommended to reduce pain and irritation.
You are also recommended to rinse the mouth with a warm-water solution and avoid eating any acidic, citrus or spicy foods that may irritate the ulcer.
How to prevent canker sores
Although incurable, you may be able to prevent canker sores and reduce their frequency by doing the following:
- Avoid chewing gum which can cause irritation
- Avoid citrus fruits, acidic vegetables and spicy foods which may irritate the inside of your mouth
- Use a soft-bristled brush to brush your teeth
- Brush after meals and floss daily

Headless CMS
A headless content management system (CMS) allows you to manage and reuse digital content from a single repository and publish to web, mobile apps, and single page applications.
A headless content management system (CMS) allows you to manage and reuse digital content from a single repository and publish to web, mobile apps, and single page applications.
Deploying a CMS solution limited by headless architecture can lead to several roadblocks for IT and business users.
Siloed development and marketing flexibility.
Slower campaign time-to-market.
Heavy IT dependence.
Inability to easily optimize and measure performance.
A hybrid CMS is a next-generation solution that can support both the flexibility of a headless publishing environment with the efficiency of channel-centric content authoring.
You can reuse content easily to build connected and consistent experiences. Manage your mature channels easily and efficiently while you reuse content for custom apps and emerging channels.
You can create and manage context-optimized experiences that easily scale across products, services, organizations, and geographies without waiting on developers.
A full editorial environment with content templates gives you the power of in-context authoring. Then IT can publish quickly to any channel.
Hybrid CMS puts greater control in the hands of both marketers and developers, allowing you to deliver experiences quickly and at scale.
Using a hybrid CMS approach with Adobe's content management and integrated analytics and targeting tools, it's easier than ever to create, manage, test, deliver, and measure experiences across the customer journey.
Check out our comprehensive tutorial for Experience Manager headless and learn how to use Experience Manager to power mobile app experiences that display event information.
See how the experiences driven by Adobe Experience Manager lead to better audience engagement.
How do we publish content using a headless CMS?
Content is pulled into the publishing environment through an API, which then adapts the content to suit the application or technology being requested.
Will a headless-only approach work for my brand?
Mature channels such as web are best served by a channel-centric CMS, so teams can keep up with high content velocity. However, a hybrid CMS approach is better to serve new channels, as business and tech teams must operate with agility in mature channels yet be able to quickly reuse content in new, emerging channels.
What are common use cases for headless CMS?
Single-page applications, mobile apps, experiences for custom screen sizes, and emerging channels are the primary use cases for headless-only CMS.
Can Adobe Experience Manager support headless use cases?
Experience Manager is a hybrid CMS, giving you the flexibility to be used as a decoupled CMS or headless-only CMS. However, Experience Manager is best used with a hybrid approach that supports channel-centric content management and provides headless CMS functionality at the same time.
Why is headless-only CMS a challenge for enterprises?
Speed of execution is the primary drawback. And you can experience issues with asset management, access control and security, workflow management for authoring and publishing, version control, translations, personalization, and more.
What does "decoupled" mean?
Content authoring and editorial functionality is separate from front-end development capabilities. Content is stored within a shared repository that both IT and marketing teams can access.

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden has a 60% approval rating of his job performance from Americans and even more backing for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
That's according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Support for Biden's pandemic response extends across party lines. Overall, 70% of Americans back his handling of the virus response, including 44% of Republicans.
Biden has made the pandemic his central focus, urging Americans to follow stringent social distancing and mask guidelines and vowing to speed up distribution of critical vaccines. He's also argued that until the spread of the virus is under control, the economy won't fully recover.
Overall, 48% of Americans say the country is headed in the right direction, compared with 37% in December

American Airlines Sued After Canceling Unlimited Airline Passes — Dollars and Sense
Back in the 1980s, American Airlines decided to boost its corporate coffers by offering unlimited lifetime airpasses for $350,000. Only 66 people purchased them, but now that American has yanked the passes from some of those travelers, they're suing.
AAirpass holders were entitled to virtually unlimited first class flights anywhere in the world for themselves and a companion, and more than a few took full advantage of the privilege.
Steve Rothstein estimates he flew from his home in Chicago to New York at least 1,000 times, between Los Angeles and San Francisco 500 times, and from Paris to Sydney 80 times — racking up a lot of frequent-flier miles in the process.
But three years ago, after American found it was losing millions of dollars to people like Rothstein, the airline pulled his pass, saying he'd abused the system by booking flights he never planned to use.
Rothstein denies those claims and has since filed suit to get his pass restored. Other AAirpass holders who had their passes canceled are also suing the airline.
"A deal's a deal," Rothstein said. "I've made deals in business, which I've regretted five minutes later. But a deal's a deal."
In a statement, American Airlines spokeswoman Mary Sanderson says the lawsuits brought by Rothstein and others like him are an "extremely small percentage of our overall AAirpass accounts, but fraudulent activity costs all of our customers money."

You Need a Budget- A budgeting software review (by my hubby)
In light of the recent budget and finances talk for the New Year, my husband and I thought that it would be the perfect time to post a review of the budgeting system that we've been using the past couple of months. We're really excited to tell you about it and how well it's working for us!
Seeing as he is the one that uses it, I asked my husband to write it for me! I'll let him take it from here:
Finally, a simple, simpleton-friendly zero-based budgeting system!
Oh man, it saves me so much time. We just got the You Need A Budget
software about 2 months ago and I absolutely love it. In our house, although Steph and I discuss our budget, I'm the one who runs the mechanics, pays the bills, etc. Before we got YNAB Pro, I would spend 2-3 hours a weekend working on our budget, which included paying bills online, entering receipts into my home-brewed excel spreadsheet, reconciling those receipts to the statements from our bank account (when we weren't completely cash based), as well as programming my custom excel spreadsheet to give me better insight and numbers for planning. If you just got exhausted reading that sentence (it makes me dizzy – but I have low blood sugar issues J ) you can imagine how I dreaded Saturday afternoons.
Don't get me wrong. It was worth what we gained – freedom from debt, learning to be content, accountability (even if only to ourselves – The numbers never lied to me…and sometimes I really wished they would…even just a little white lie!), and a consistent picture of our financial reality – but I'm so glad those days of laboring are over. I now get the same benefit (plus some) in a small percentage of the time, which means…I get to spend my time playing with the kids and/or hanging out with Steph… I am so ok with that!
As you may be able to tell I am very passionate about YNAB. The funny thing is, I'm not the only one. The user forums are packed with people much more passionate than I am. But let me tell you why I'm passionate about it:
- It is an excellent guide for smart home money management. Based on principles, instead of features and tasks (like many other home budgeting software packages) YNAB truly helps people manage their money wisely. Steph and I finished paying off our car loan using the YNAB system, and because we could see the method to the madness we barely felt the pinch, even though we really tightened our belts for about 6 weeks.
- Its incredibly easy to use and simplifies what used to be very complex for me. Instead of spending 2-3 hours a week, I now spend 20-30 minutes, and only that much because I'm so meticulous and have a secret (not anymore) passion for numbers and "what-if" scenarios. (Yes I know – I'm a total geek. You wouldn't be able to tell by my carefully crafted exterior – but I'm a geek. J)
Now, let me tell you some of the pros and cons from my perspective.
Con – There aren't lots of gadgets and trinkets and other "tools" to spend your time on.
Pro – There aren't lots of gadgets and trinkets and other "tools" to spend your time on.
If you want some really cool revolutionary whiz-bang features, YNAB is wrong product (and some people truly want those things). But if you want a system that helps you to manage your finances in an effective, but simple way, I'm convinced there is nothing currently on the market that beats YNAB. When I first started using it I kept looking for where all the features were (I work for a software company). But after not too long, and without a bunch of crazy-cool but otherwise worthless features to waste my time on, I realized how simply everything worked. You give every dollar a job, budget for upcoming big bills (like new tires, etc), learn to live on last month's income (as opposed to living paycheck to paycheck) and don't stress as you make up for mistakes you make.
Pro – YNAB comes packaged and formatted to get you started quickly, with budget categories already set-up.
Con – I prefer my own categories. It took me 15 minutes to set them up.
Big Pro – YNAB is based on the concept of a zero-based budget, which is described by Wikipedia as: "the practice of budgeting every dollar of income that you receive, and then adjusting some part of the budget downward for every other part that needs to be adjusted upward." Or as Jesse says, you give every dollar a job.
Con – It becomes much more difficult to live in the la-la land of "spending-more-than-you-have", a land I'll sheepishly admit that I sometimes prefer (but only until the bills come in). Zero based budgeting forces a high level of accountability and yanks your head out of the sand quickly and consistently.
Now for the only real Cons I have:
Con #1 – YNAB is not yet available for Macs.This is truly a bummer for me, as our home computer is a Mac. However, Jesse (the guy started YNAB) informs me that they will have a MAC version out shortly, which I'm excited about.
Con #2 – If you don't have a full month's savings in your bank account yet (as Jesse strongly urges you to aspire to) it doesn't function as elegantly as it will when you finally do have the savings. It's not that the functions are not elegant, it's just that it's built around the idea of living off of last month's income instead of the current month. That said, Steph and I are well on our way to living off of last month's income, and YNAB has strongly motivated us to get there quickly.
Con #3 – YNAB doesn't automatically download your transactions from your bank account, as some packages do. It will still import them, though. It just means you have to take an extra couple of steps to get the records in the system. But once they are there, they are super-simple to allocate!
Bottom line – even though I have a couple of small complaints, if I could give YNAB 6 stars out of 5 I would. It is a very powerful tool and has already helped us to manage our finances more effectively without all the stress (and the petty fights that accompany said stress). Simply said, It is helping Steph and I to be in control of our finances, instead of the other way around, and doesn't require a Masters Degree in Advanced Calculus to run (What can I say – for a geek, I have a simple mind). That works for me!

Screens grow, cameras improve and emerging markets come into focus
Here are three of the biggest smartphone trends from this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Better cameras
If there is one common denominator among especially the high-end phones announced at the show it is improved cameras.
Before the show even started, LG announced G Pro 2, which lets users shoot HD videos at 120 frames per second and 4K content, a feature that especially makes sense for a company like LG, which is also trying to get consumers to buy 4K TVs. A feature called "magic focus" lets the user select the preferred depth of focus before saving, LG said.
Those features again showed up when Sony and Samsung on Monday launched the Xperia Z2 and the Galaxy S5. The two phones can both shoot 4K video, and the Z2 can record 120 frames per second to create a slow-motion effect. They can also control the background focus; Samsung calls its feature "selective focus" and Sony's smartphone has a feature called "background defocus."
Samsung, which increased the resolution on the S5 to 16 megapixels, also highlighted a 0.3 second autofocus, and Sony bragged about an improved shutter speed. LG, on the other hand, plugged its combined hardware and software imaging stabilization. The Z2 and the S5 both lack optical image stabilization.
Screens grow, but resolution stays the same
The second most obvious trend is the continued growth of screen sizes. Among expensive smartphones, the increases are small: from 5 inches to 5.1 inches on the Galaxy S4 and from 5.1 inches 5.2 inches on the Xperia Z2. For people who want even larger screens, ZTE's Grand Memo II has a 6-inch versus a 5.7-inch screen on the company's first Grand Memo model.
Getting a bigger screen still comes at a cost. The Galaxy S5 is 15 grams heavier, and about 5 millimeters longer and 3 millimeters wider than the S4.
But it isn't just high-end smartphones that are getting big screens. Nokia's XL has a 5-inch screen and costs €109 (US$150) before taxes and subsidies. Of course, users of that phone won't get full HD resolution, instead they have to settle for 800 by 480 pixels, which doesn't look as bad as it sounds.
One thing that hasn't improved is the highest resolution, which still tops out at 1920 by 1080 pixels. Before the show, there was speculation that some flagship devices would make the leap to 2560 by 1440 pixels, but that didn't happen.
The low end becomes increasingly important
The growing importance of affordable smartphones is difficult to miss. Over the last two years, there has been a dramatic shift in sales, as more people are buying affordable smartphones that cost less than €100, according to Stephen Elop, executive vice president for devices and services at Nokia.
At the show, Nokia officially relented to Android's dominance in this segment and released the X family of smartphones, which cost from €89 before taxes and subsidies, for now. The phones are based on Android Open Source Project software, and have a user interface that uses tiles just like Windows Phone.
For consumers who can't afford that, Mozilla and China-based chip maker Spreadtrum Sunday unveiled a chipset designed for $25 smartphones running Firefox OS, which is solely aimed at more affordable devices. Those smartphones are scheduled to ship sometime this year.

Osteoporosis makes bones weak and more likely to break. You may not know you have osteoporosis until you break a bone. Medications and exercise can help strengthen bones.
Osteoporosis Overview
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle so that a fall or even mild stresses like bending or coughing can cause a fracture. Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist, or spine.
Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone does not keep up with the removal of old bone.
Osteoporosis affects men and women of all races, but white and Asian women — especially older women who are past menopause — have the highest risk or developing this condition. Medications, a healthy diet, and weight-bearing exercise can help prevent bone loss and strengthen already weak bones.
Osteoporosis Symptoms
Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease because bone loss occurs without symptoms and people may not know that they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump, or fall causes a hip to fracture or a vertebra to collapse. Collapsed vertebrae may initially be felt or seen in the form of severe back pain, loss of height, or spinal deformities such as kyphosis (severely stooped posture).
Osteoporosis Causes
Your bones are in a constant state of renewal: new bone is made and old bone is broken down. When you are young, your body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone and your bone mass increases. Most people reach their peak bone mass by their early 20s. As people age, bone mass is lost faster than it is created. Your likelihood of developing osteoporosis depends partly on how much bone mass you attained in your youth. The higher your peak bone mass, the more bone you have and the less likely you are to develop osteoporosis as you age.
Certain risk factors are linked to the development of osteoporosis and contribute to an individual's likelihood of developing the disease. Many people with osteoporosis have several risk factors, but others who develop the disease have no known risk factors. Some risk factors cannot be changed, but you can change others.
Risk factors include:
- getting older
- being small and thin
- having a family history of osteoporosis
- taking certain medicines such as glucocorticoids and some anticonvulsants
- being a white or Asian woman
- having osteopenia (low bone density)
- consuming a diet low in calcium and vitamin D
- smoking cigarettes
- having an inactive or sedentary lifestyle
- consuming excessive amounts of alcohol
Osteoporosis Diagnosis
Osteoporosis is diagnosed with a bone density test. Bone mineral density (BMD) can be measured by a machine that uses low levels of X-rays to determine the proportion of mineral in your bones. During this painless test, you lie on a padded table as a scanner passes over your body. In most cases, only a few bones are checked, usually in the hip, wrist and spine.
BMD tests can:
- detect low bone density before a fracture occurs
- confirm a diagnosis of osteoporosis if you already have one or more fractures
- predict your chances of fracturing in the future
- determine your rate of bone loss, and monitor the effects of treatment if the test is conducted at intervals of a year or more
Living With Osteoporosis
Several lifestyle changes may help reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis or experiencing broken bones if your bones are already weakened.
Do not smoke. Smoking increases rates of bone loss and the chance of experiencing a fracture.
Avoid excessive alcohol. Consuming more than two alcoholic drinks a day may decrease bone formation. Being under the influence also can increase your risk of falling.
Prevent falls. Wear low-heeled shoes with nonslip soles and check your house for electrical cords, area rugs and slippery surfaces that might cause you to trip or fall. Keep rooms brightly lit, install grab bars just inside and outside your shower door, and make sure you can get into and out of your bed easily.
Eat a healthy diet. Calcium and vitamin D are needed for strong bones and for your heart, muscles, and nerves to function properly. Food sources of calcium include low-fat dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, cheese, and ice cream; dark green, leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, collard greens, bok choy, and spinach; sardines and salmon with bones; tofu; almonds; and foods fortified with calcium, such as orange juice, cereals, and breads. Food sources of vitamin D include egg yolks, saltwater fish, and liver. If you do not consume enough calcium or vitamins from your diet, supplements are available.
Exercise. Exercise improves your bone health, and it increases muscle strength, coordination, and balance, and leads to better overall health. Your doctor or a physical therapist can recommend specific exercises to strengthen and support your back.
Osteoporosis Treatments
Several medications are available for the prevention and/or treatment of osteoporosis.
For both men and women at increased risk of fracture, the most widely prescribed osteoporosis medications are bisphosphonates. These drugs reduce bone loss. Common bisphosphonates include:
- alendronate (Fosamax)
- risedronate (Actonel, Atelvia)
- ibandronate (Boniva)
- zoledronic acid (Reclast)
Estrogen, especially when started soon after menopause, can help maintain bone density. However, estrogen therapy can increase a woman's risk of blood clots, endometrial cancer, breast cancer and possibly heart disease. Therefore, estrogen is typically used for bone health only if menopausal symptoms also require treatment. Raloxifene (Evista) mimics estrogen's beneficial effects on bone density in postmenopausal women, without some of the risks associated with estrogen. Taking this drug may also reduce the risk of some types of breast cancer. Raloxifene may increase the risk of blood clots.
In men, osteoporosis may be linked with a gradual age-related decline in testosterone levels. Testosterone replacement therapy can help increase bone density, but osteoporosis medications have been better studied in men with osteoporosis and are recommended alone or in addition to testosterone.
Other treatments for osteoporosis include:
- denosumab (Prolia), which is a monoclonal antibody that decreases bone loss, reduces fractures, and increases BMD
- teriparatide (Forteo), which is a synthetic form of a naturally occurring hormone that causes new bone to form

Let customers speak for us
from 556 reviewsMy husband loves it. I don't want to speak for him but he likes the scooter a lot. It helps him. He had some anxiety to get a scooter and how that would look, but decided to go for it and hasn't looked back.
I have had my scooter for several months now, and it has given me freedom! I always feel safe, even crossing the street. It has plenty of power, even going up hill. I bought a red one, (per my children's instructions), so I am easily seen. I am so happy with it!!!
I wish i got this product sooner. I finally got my bank account to go through and was super happy. This is a great scooter. The battery lasts for a long time and it's very easy to take apart.
This scooter is a great solid mobility scooter. Very strong build quality. The seat is very comfortable and adjusts right to my needs. Shoutout to Mobility Nest for being such kind people. Would recommend!
This is the only chair I can have because it only weighs like 20 pounds. I didn't think something would be possible but I guess technology is improving these days. Great product quality nonetheless.
I don't even know where to start. I actually first saw this on QVC but they don't sell it anymore. Did some research and ended up here. It took me a couple days to finally pull the trigger, but I am glad I did. I called expressing my concerns, but they were answered immediately. I'm glad I spent my money here. Everything is great, and I would buy again right now if I had the opportunity.
I bought the Afiscooter C4 with the Canopy and it was a great decision. It was hard to pull the trigger but I ended up doing their monthly payment options. I've never seen a mobility scooter with this canopy and I could not be more happy with the product that I got.
If anyone is doubting, I would not be worried!
This purchase was a big deal for me and just so different with the interior mount that I was a little extra nervous. I shouldn't have been, the folks at Mobility Nest were on top of my order every step of the way. After delivery they had arranged a local service technician come by to install the mounting system and show me how to use it. The technician, John, was kind and very knowledgeable considering it was the first one he'd seen. He told me he studied the guides online and the mounting hardware was installed easily with no need to back track.
The Quingo Flyte itself is amazing. There's some prep to be done before loading and unloading but the baskets and chair arms go on and off easily. The coolest thing is the quingo loading and unloading itself, but the scooter is stable and easy to drive. I'm still working out my per charge range, but that will come in time.
If you are considering this Quingo Flyte I highly recommend that you order through Mobility Nest. I was in safe and caring hands the entire time. So impressed.
The Hoyer lift and rapid delivery exceeded my expectations. In this day of on line purchasing, few purchases are as good as advertised. But this Hoyer lift is well designed, built, priced right, and delivered to meet the buyers needs. Thank you so much.
This scooter is truly amazing, Everyone that sees it, asks me how I like it and I tell them it's absolutely life changing ..
Everything advertised and more..
Iam a BATKA (Bilateral Above The Knees Amputee) and was graciously donated my zinger chair by the Dover Delaware Lions Club. I use it on a daily basis, it helps me tremendously in staying active when I'm not upright walking in my prosthetic legs. It's very durable, comfortable and can go through more difficult terrain. I highly recommend zinger products for people with handicaps.
I bought this scooter in 2008 or 2009, I put thousands of miles on mine when I lived in Uptown Minneapolis and worked in downtown Minneapolis. In the summer months I would ride it to work and back daily, about 3.1 miles each way. In the winter I would keep it at my office and use it in the skyway system all winter, it worked brilliantly. I took toRead more about review stating 10 YEARS ON IT'S STILL A FANTASTIC SCOOTER FOR OUTDOOR AND INDOOR ACTIVITIES on many bike trails around Minneapolis and visited friends up to 5 miles away with complete confidence it would easily make the round trip, I also to it several state fairs and festivals, it always worked great. I had to replace batteries twice but that comes with the territory of an electric vehicle. The support from the factory was excellent, I never had any issues with the scooter and was very happy to pass it along to person with MS who still uses it to this day. I don't know how long it will keep going but for now anyway it shows not signs of stopping.
I walk the dogs and visit neighbors and this works for me. Great turning and I'm happy with it.

Construction pollution management
To minimize the introduction of construction-related pollutants into indoor air and protect building products from degradation.
Proper design and material selection is essential in creating healthy indoor air quality. However, this strategy can be compromised if equal care is not taken during construction to clear the space of dust, chemical vapors and other debris. Pollutants inadvertently introduced into the space can lead to various respiratory symptoms and will increase the likelihood of failing indoor air quality standards.
To prevent pollutants from entering the air supply post-occupancy, if the ventilation system is operating during building construction occurring within one year prior to Performance Verification, the following requirement is met:
All filters are replaced prior to occupancy.
To prevent building materials from absorbing water or moisture during construction occurring within one year prior to Performance Verification, the following requirements are met:
A separate area is designated to store and protect absorptive materials, including but not limited to carpets, acoustical ceiling panels, fabric wall coverings, insulation, upholstery and furnishings.
The following procedures are followed during building construction occurring within one year prior to Performance Verification:
All active areas of work are isolated from other spaces by sealed doorways or windows or through the use of temporary barriers.
Walk-off mats are used at entryways to reduce the transfer of dirt and pollutants.
Saws and other tools use dust guards or collectors to capture generated dust.

Once Upon a Darker Time
Chronicles of the Secret Prince Book #2
By: M.J. Bell
Defying the odds, Deston Lespérance defeated Grossard, the Solitary Faerie who kidnapped his mother and father, and delivered the Light Crystal back to Tir na-nÓg in time to secure the Fae's reign of the high realm. Now at long last, his dream of having a whole family has come to pass. Unfortunately, "happily ever after" doesn't last forever, for Grossard lives and is more resolved than ever to get his revenge on the Fae—this time teaming up with Mordred to unleash the darkness which has lain dormant since the earth's creation.
Deston, though still struggling with his newly found powers, sets off with Margaux on another epic adventure to locate and destroy the Shard of Erebus before Grossard and Mordred can find it. He is fully aware the stakes are high, but he has no idea the scope of sacrifices he'll be required to make. As his world crumbles around him and his friends fall, he holds onto the only glimmer of hope he has left … that the Fae power and strength truly does reside within him and that he still has a chance to become the hero they claim him to be?

This year's theme for Catholic Education Week is Walking Forward Together. I can't think of a more fitting theme during this time when we are called to work with our First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities to honour the recommendations in the Truth and Reconciliation report. It is also a theme which connects with our board's focus for this year of Celebrating God's Family. We are all reminded to work together daily to promote the uniqueness and dignity of all.
Catholic Education Week is a wonderful opportunity to recognize how fortunate we are to share in the gift of Catholic education. It is also the perfect time to recognize everyone in our school communities who work together to share in the faith and learning journey of our students and staff.
There are a legion of staff who work "behind the scenes", who don't often set foot in one of our schools to see the impact that their work has on the gift of Catholic education. Today, I would like to say thank you to all of the staff at the board office, plant services, and program and academic services who work hard to support their colleagues in our schools. We are all part of the same team, with a common goal, working together to develop the God-given abilities of each person.
With deep gratitude and sincere appreciation,

Earth's mantle is made of solid rock that nonetheless circulates slowly over millions of years. Some geologists assume that this slow circulation would have wiped away any geochemical traces of Earth's early history long ago. But a new study led by University of Maryland geologists has found new evidence that could date back more than 4.5 billion years.
The authors of the research paper, published April 7 in the journal Science, studied volcanic rocks that recently erupted from volcanoes in Hawaii and Samoa. The rocks contain surprising geochemical anomalies–the "fingerprints" of conditions that existed shortly after the planet formed.
The researchers are not yet sure how Earth's mantle preserved these anomalies. But the group's results suggest that some of these rocks contain material that survived through all of Earth's history–and that the planet's interior may not be well mixed after all.
"We found geochemical signatures that must have been created nearly 4.5 billion years ago," said Andrea Mundl, a postdoctoral researcher in geology at UMD and the lead author of the study. "It was especially exciting to find these anomalies in such young rocks. We don't yet know how these signatures survived for so long, but we have some ideas."
The anomalous signatures are found in the ratios of key isotopes of two elements: tungsten and helium.
In the case of tungsten, which has many isotopes, the important ratio is tungsten-182 to tungsten-184. The heavier isotope, tungsten-184, is stable and has existed since the planet first formed. Tungsten-182, on the other hand, results from the decay of hafnium-182, which is highly unstable. All naturally occurring hafnium-182 decayed within the first 50 million years of Earth's history, leaving tungsten-182 in its place.
Tungsten and hafnium behaved very differently during the planet's first 50 million years. Tungsten tends to associate with metals, so most of it migrated to Earth's core, while hafnium, which tends to associate with silicate minerals, stayed in Earth's mantle and crust. Most of the rocks on Earth have a similar ratio of tungsten-182 to tungsten-184, and this ratio serves as a global baseline. Geologists can learn a lot from rocks with an unusually high or low amount of tungsten-182–which indicates how much hafnium-182 was present in the rock long ago.
"Nearly all of these anomalies formed within the first 50 million years after the solar system formed," Mundl said. "Higher than normal levels of tungsten-182 are seen in very old rocks that most likely contained a lot of hafnium long ago. But lower levels of tungsten-182 are rare, and resemble what we might expect to see deep beneath the surface, in or near the planet's metallic core."
Sure enough, Mundl and her colleagues observed an unusually low amount of tungsten-182 in some of the rocks from Hawaii and Samoa. On its own, the tungsten isotope ratio is interesting, but not enough to make any convincing conclusions. But the researchers also observed that the same rocks contain an unusual ratio of helium isotopes.
Helium-3 is extremely rare on Earth, and tends to show up in samples of rock that have not been melted or otherwise recycled since the planet first formed. Helium-4, on the other hand, can form from the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium. A higher than normal ratio of helium-3 to helium-4 typically indicates very old rocks that have not been significantly altered since the planet formed.
"Variations in the isotopic composition of helium have been long known, but have never been correlated with other geochemical parameters," said Richard Walker, professor and department chair of geology at UMD and a co-author of the paper. "Rocks with high helium-3 to helium-4 ratios have commonly been speculated to contain 'primitive' mantle material, but how primitive was not known. Our tungsten data show that it is very primitive indeed, with the source region most likely forming within the first 50 million years of solar system history."
Mundl, Walker and their co-authors suggest a few different scenarios that could have produced the tungsten and helium anomalies they observed in volcanic rocks from Hawaii and Samoa. Perhaps the volcanoes are drawing material from Earth's core, where the ratios are expected to favor low tungsten-182 and high helium-3.
Alternatively, the rocky outer surface of the Earth might have formed in patches, with vast magma oceans in between. Parts of these magma oceans may have crystallized and sunk to the boundary between the mantle and the core, preserving the ancient tungsten and helium signatures.
"Each of these scenarios contain some inconsistencies that we can't yet explain," Mundl said. "But this is an exciting result that is sure to generate lots of interesting new research questions."

Sketch/flash in the pan
Posted by Sauerkraut on January 06, 2002
In Reply to: Sketch/flash in the pan posted by Marian on January 06, 2002
: My kids
are home from college at the moment. They say that the word 'sketch' is in use
among their friends there as an adjective. So far as I can tell, it means 'questionable;
may even prove unsavory upon further examination.' I asked for examples of the
word's use. They gave me these:
: "We drove up to a hostel in Chicago. It was
pretty sketch," one said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "It looked run-down. We
weren't even sure we wanted to check it out." Another:
: "An Internet friend
can be sketch."
: Is anyone familiar with this term? On a slightly different
tack, could this be an example of a "flash in the pan," which, as I understand
the phrase, refers to something or someone that only momentarily basks in popularity
before it fades into obscurity?
Flash in the pan in its strictest usage means innefective or nonproductive. It derives from the early days of firearms - specifically flintlock muskets. These guns used a piece of flint to strick sparks on a steel plate called a frizen. These sparks fell into a small pan of fine gunpowder that was quickly ignited and enough fire was supposed to pas through a small touchhole at the base of the gunbarrel to ignite the main charge. If the touchhole was clogged, only the powder in the pan would ignite, giving a bright flash and lots of smoke - but nothing else.
Our forbears used several other phrases derived from firearms - "lock, stock and barrel" meaning everything, because these were the three main parts of early guns, the lock being the firing mechanism and the stock being the wooden frame that held the lock and the barrel. Another common phrase was "keep your powder dry" referring not only to one's main stock of gunpowder, but also the charge in the pan of a loaded firearm. If this was damp, it might go off with a flash in the pan, but not actually fire the gun.
Bonus aside - we also hear from the world of fishing with another phrase meaning everything thats needs no explanation: He fell for it "hook, line ans sinker".

As it stands, the "First Posts" review queue is empty on Stack Overflow. As I seldom review that queue, it isn't empty because I have no posts to review; it's empty because, well it's empty.
However, in reviewing some of the 800 flags in the 10k Flag Queue, I came across so, so many posts by first users, which are blatantly low quality/ NAA, most of which had no comments at all, and those that did, I'm doubtful whether they were added during the review of the post in the "First Posts" queue (if it ever reached there).
Note that the guidance for the FP queue reads (emphasis mine):
Be sure to leave a comment if you can help the user out, upvote the question if you can't find any problems with it, or click Skip if you are not sure and want to go to the next item.
It seems a waste of everyone's time if all of the following posts had to cycle multiple reviews, be seen by 10k'ers in the 10k queue, before been seen and finally handled by diamonds (and the whole while, the OP has no idea they've done anything wrong, due to the lack of feedback):
- Java sever code to Push Notification to particular device in Android
- How can I remove the printing protection from password-protected PDF files?
- How to play an opening animation when iOS app launches
- Why jsfiddle is not rendering at all in IE8 and previous versions?
- Stagefright architecture
- How do I create an iPhone app with background and rotating images?
- How to embed a UITableView in a UIScrollview
- Hadoop Streaming Job failed error in python
- Generate unique patterns of numbers (e.g. 1221 considered same pattern as 2112)
- Uploading a file in PHP
- What is a StackOverflowError?
- jqGrid: Combining sortableRows and gridDnD (Duplicate Rows)
... and there's more, many more, but you get the gist.
How can the "First Post" queue be changed to better address this?
- Should the addition of a comment be enforced if a "flag" was made?
- An extension of the above; a comment for anything other-than an up vote (yes, even a downvote)?
- Should the ability to "Delete" / "Recommend Deletion" exist like the LP queue
- Do we need more pairs of eyes per-post to ensure the correct action is (eventually?) taken?
- Would the current system work, except the robo-reviewers are making this queue so ineffective?
- ...?

Ministerial accountability has become a major issue among Christians and particularly in Charismatic and Pentecostal circles. Here's an timely and poignant article by J. Lee Grady that addresses some of the major and most common areas of potential failure that those in the ministry should avoid. The article actually went viral with links to it from several major news sites. I even found it on The Blaze.
"10 Stupid Things Ministers Should Never Do"
Here are the first five:
1. Take illegal drugs. I know people who never got complete deliverance from their drug habit—and then when the pressures of ministry grew intense they turned to illegal substances to escape. That's stupid! If you aren't in control of your actions 100 percent of the time, you have no business in the ministry.
2. Reject accountability. The Lone Ranger may have been a great comic book hero, but isolation doesn't work in real life. Lack of accountability is stupid! If you don't answer to people smarter than you, you are an accident waiting to happen—and you're going to hurt God's people. You have no right to be in authority if you are not under authority.
3. Beat or abuse your wife. The Bible says in 1 Peter 3:7 that God will not listen to your prayers if you mistreat your wife. If you are an abuser (and even if you are a master at hiding your sin from others), the Lord will oppose you until you seek help.
4. Surround yourself with adoring fans. Years ago, fallen PTL founder Jim Bakker said his biggest mistake was planting "yes men" around him instead of people who had the guts to challenge his bad decisions. If you aren't willing to invite input—including criticism—from your followers, you are a weak leader headed for disaster.
5. Fabricate spiritual gifts to impress others. In our movement there's a lot of pressure to produce the sensational in order to keep people entertained. But if you stoop so low as to fake a healing, conjure up a false prophecy or push someone to the floor, the Holy Spirit will step aside and let you run the sideshow without His power.

Returns Policy
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for shopping with us here at Australian Photo Supplies.
When using our website and/or submitting an order, you agree to abide by the Terms and Conditions and the Returns, Refunds, and Exchange Policy listed on our website.
Below is our Returns & Refunds Policy, which will detail our policy, procedures, and processes for exchanging and returning products purchased from our store, plus any entitlements for refunds/exchanges to our customers.
Under Australian Consumer Law, we reserve the right to refuse a customer a refund in the case where they change their mind about the product/s they have purchased. Due to the products we sell, we have chosen to exercise that right, and therefore, we do NOT provide refunds, nor are we under any obligation to accept an exchange or return of any products listed on our site in the event a customer simply changes their mind after submitting their order.
When a customer receives a product/item they have purchased from our store, and they discover it to be damaged/faulty/defective, as an Australian business, we are obligated to issue that customer with a replacement. We do not entertain the option of a refund as the customer has made the initial choice to purchase that product/item and requesting a different product/item or a refund would be considered a simple "change of mind". By implementing this policy, this eliminates the possibility of consumer fraud occurring in which a customer can unlawfully defect an item in order to gain a refund, purely because they used the product and it failed to deliver the result they were seeking, or they perhaps found a cheaper offer elsewhere. We are committed to and will honour the provision of a replacement product to a customer if any of the products we sell on our website have been found to truthfully be damaged/defective/faulty by the customer, provided it is within the warranty timeframe, as listed below. As we are committed to high-quality customer service, we will pay for postage costs (up to $30 AUD) involved for the customer returning the damaged/defective/faulty product/item and will arrange an immediate replacement product on receipt of the damaged/defective/faulty product/item.
Please ensure you carefully select any items correctly before submitting your order.

The best ads--over the span of decades--sold a company. And they sold that all too rare value--perhaps the rarest value, integrity.
Volkswagen's ads were about cars, yes. But they were great because they exemplified a belief system that was counter to the dominant Detroit complacency.
VW, it's people and its cars were honest. Uncorrupted. Unadorned. They didn't bullshit.
Has all that been lost?
If I were the new CEO of VW I'd do something very simple. I'd buy for everyone of my employees and everyone of my dealers the book, "Remember those great Volkswagen ads." (You can buy it here.)
Companies, like people, lose their way.
They are lured by sex or mammon and make terrible mistakes.
This book could help VW find their center again.
Not bad for $50.

Feedback and constructive criticism can be great tools for planning and managing any sort of endeavor. Gauging the interests, concerns, and opinions of our group can help us make better decision on how to spend time and money as well as working with each other and the community. Last month we asked our members to take a survey and share their thoughts with us. Why do people come to Milwaukee Makerspace? What do they do here? What would they like to see more of? What can we do better? 44 members responded (or about 39% of the total group) and after spending some time slaving over spreadsheets, we published the results.
Two of the biggest questions we asked survey-takers were: 1) What do you come to Milwaukee Makerspace for? and 2) What is important to you? The following results can be found in our 19 page report, available for download here: http://wiki.milwaukeemakerspace.org/_media/2013_annual_mms_member_survey.pdf

ROCKCASTLE COUNTY, Ky. – A woman is being charged with murder after allegedly killing a man by jumping on him and urging her pit bull to attack.
Kentucky State Police say officers were called to the incident at a home in Rockcastle County at about 3:40 a.m. Friday.
According to an arrest citation, 38-year-old Melissa D. Wolke of Mount Vernon had been involved in an altercation with 55-year-old Donald W. Abner of Richmond and during the struggle, she had turned her pit bull loose on the man.
According to a police report obtained by NBC News, responding officers say they saw Wolke on top of Abner, punching him in the face as the pit bull mauled him. The report also says the man who called authorities claimed to have heard Wolke give the dog "commands to attack."
Officers say they had to shoot and kill the "very aggressive dog" that was in the immediate area of Abner and preventing them from providing emergency treatment.
Abner was later pronounced dead at the scene by the Rockcastle Coroner's Office. A cause of death has not yet been determined.
Wolke was arrested and charged with one count of murder. Police say she admitted to being in the residence and going "redneck" on the victim.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement in celebration of Israel Independence Day:
"Today, we join our Israeli friends and Jewish communities in Canada and around the world to celebrate the 69th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel.
"Canada was one of the first countries to officially recognize Israel, and we are proud to call Israel our partner and call Israelis our friends.
"Canada and Israel are closely linked in heart and in mind by common democratic values and close people-to-people connections. These provide the foundation of an expanding bilateral relationship, which includes ongoing efforts to promote peace and stability in the Middle East.
"Today, while we celebrate Israel's independence, we also reaffirm our commitment to fight anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Israel and its people continue to face threats throughout the world, including here in Canada. We stand on guard against a resurgence of anti-Semitism, hate, and discrimination in all its forms.
"On this Independence Day, I am proud to renew Canada's commitment to a safe and secure homeland for the Jewish people, and to a lasting peace between all peoples in the Middle East.
"On behalf of the Government of Canada, Sophie and I wish everyone celebrating Israel Independence Day a Yom Ha'atzmaut Sameach.

Carol Burnett Gets 'A Little Help' With New Netflix Kids Interview Show
We've seen Netflix pull some incredible comedy talent, but Carol Burnett is on another level. The revered and iconic comedienne will host her very own show on the streaming service, interviewing children with A Little Help from a first teaser.
The original unscripted comedy A Little Help With Carol Burnett will feature "pint-sized opinions from a panel of straight-talking 4-8-year-olds," as Carol and her guests explore how a different generation solves life's biggest dilemmas. The series is set for twelve half-hour episodes in 2018, with celebrities and others bringing real-life issues to a panel of kids who "dish back hilarious, hard-hitting guidance–all in front of a live studio audience."
Said Burnett of the project:
Someone once asked me how old I am inside. I thought about it, and came up with, 'I'm about eight.' So it's going to be a lot of fun playing with kids my age.
Added Netflix:
We're thrilled Carol is bringing her unique sensibilities to Netflix. Carol is truly a legend in the entertainment industry with unprecedented success and fandom across TV, film and the stage, and we are both honored and excited to work with her.
We'll likely hear more before the year is out, so watch the teaser above and get A Little Help With Carol Burnett at Netflix's landing page.
