green tea. Some people have speculated that diabetes, a chronic disease, might be prevented or delayed by drinking lots of green tea. Green tea is packed with antioxidants and has long been used for a variety of health issues.
In one study, green tea was given to diabetic rats for three months. The results showed that blood sugar levels were lowered, and that the tea inhibited the development of diabetic cataracts. The researchers recommended that the the effects of tea should be studied in humans as a simple, natural, and affordable way to prevent diabetes, or delay the disease or its complications.
Another study was done in Japan that examined the link between drinking green tea (as well as black and oolong teas) and the development of type 2 diabetes. Researchers found that people who drank 6 or more cups of green tea per day were less likely to develop diabetes than those who drank 1 cup or less per week.
It's important to note that the results of these studies are not conclusive. However, green tea is considered a healthy drink and is also inexpensive and simple to prepare. Thus people may decide that it "doesn't hurt and might help."
To benefit from the effects of green tea, it's suggested that a a 143-pound person needs to drink 4 1/4 - 8 ounce cups of tea every day. Some people believe that by drinking green tea, diabetes may be prevented or delayed and its complications minimized. However, engaging in a healthy lifestyle that includes maintaining a healthy weight, enjoying a wide variety of portion-controlled, nutritious foods, plus a regular exercise program, will do more to lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes or having the disease progress.

[SatNews] Haigh-Farr, a Business Unit within the Vitec Group, is highlighting its Advanced Design Simulation Service.
Haigh-Farr has combined its expertise in antenna design with both commercially available and internally developed software tools to model and simulate the performance of antennas in real-world environments. This capability is used by space, defense and commercial industries worldwide to ensure optimal antenna placement and performance.
In order to avoid costly and time-consuming trial-and-error procedures when it comes to addressing antenna performance and placement issues, Haigh-Farr's advanced computer modeling is used to optimize the antenna pattern in the virtual realm, precisely simulating the real-world environment. When antennas are mounted on the body of an aircraft or space vehicle, the presence of additional structures (fins, wings and other antennas) will affect the radiation pattern. It is important to understand the end result and verify there is nothing unanticipated that will adversely affect the communication link. Simulations, especially when performed early in the design cycle, can be used to optimize antenna performance well before any metal is cut thereby reducing costly redesign and build.
"Haigh-Farr strongly relies upon its sophisticated simulation capabilities to ensure optimized antenna performance on military and aerospace vehicles of all types, including aircraft, missiles, launch vehicles and satellites," says David Farr, CEO of Haigh-Farr. "We are very pleased to offer our customers access to our proprietary simulation services so that they reap the benefits of this high-level, advanced technology. Superior simulation modeling yields better product design and performance; our service delivers the tools necessary to compete successfully in the global antenna market."

Here's a couple kickstarter projects I ran across yesterday, both are worth checking out. Code Hero could use a lot more help, they haven't been getting much funding and look like they deserve it.
Code Hero is a game designed to teach people how to make program. They describe it as a cross between Portal and Minecraft, and the videos I've seen of it look interesting. Basically, you write javascript and "shoot" it. It executes when it hits something. Kickstarter
Double Fine Adventure is a classic point and click adventure game by Double Fine Productions. They're a really cool studio that has made other great games, such as Psychonauts, which, if you've never played, you should get it and try it out right now. It's a lot of fun.
Double Fine Adventure got completely funded in a little over eight hours and is almost at 400% funding now. It doesn't need funding anywhere near as much as Code Hero does, but I figured I'd mention it anyway since it looks like it'll be a lot of fun. As well as making the game without a producer (they decided to try Kickstarter funding instead, and it looks like it's working well), they're also making a documentary of the creation of the game and taking fan input from people who helped fund them.

As Co-Presidents for the Tampa Bay International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival (TIGLFF), we are delighted to be in a position to share a stellar report on our 29th Annual Festival. As you heard mentioned so many times throughout the festival, we cannot express enough thanks to our sponsors, donors, patrons, volunteers, as well as our board and staff members.
Producing this festival requires an extraordinary amount of effort from many people and, of course, funds from our supporters to enable us to offer so many films and events that bring our community together. We see people at the festival whom we may not see all year long, and that is a big part of what makes the Festival so vital to our community. All of the support we receive ensures we can continue celebrating together for many years to come.
This year we presented 97 films and shorts from 25 countries from across the globe and, again, our Program Director, KJ Mohr and the screening committee did a spectacular job finding those films that bring to fruition our mission of Entertaining, Empowering and Enlightening our community and patrons. We know we are not alone when we say that I see movies during the festival that are profoundly impactful, movies that, without the Festival, we would likely never have had the opportunity to watch.
This year we also saw an increase in our attendance, and I know that with the renewed excitement and energy we all felt during the Festival, we will see this audience grow even more in the upcoming year.
Mark your calendars now for next year's dates, October 4-12 for the 30th Annual Tampa Bay International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. If you are not already a pass holder, we highly recommend becoming one for our 30th Year in 2019 so you can enjoy all of the films and programs during the 9-day event.
Again, thanks so much for your support during 2018. We look forward to seeing you at the movies in 2019!
TIGLFF Co-Presidents

Theatre review: West Side Story lacks grit at Huron Country Playhouse
The power of the music was there, as was the once groundbreaking dance.
But the grittiness I expected? Not so much.
Drayton Entertainment's production of West Side Story at Huron Country Playhouse is wonderful entertainment, a visual and musical feast.
But it lacks the emotional punch one would expect from this tragic story inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and created by the team of Arthur Laurents (book), Leonard Bernstein (score) and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics).
Certainly that punch is weakened by the 60 years that have passed since it was first produced in 1957 and earned six Tony nominations, including best musical, winning two for choreography and scenic design. Times have changed since those days of ethnic gang wars and the culture of rebellion among North America's youth, even though tensions remain in America's continued struggle with its own immigrants, legal and illegal, not to mention its African-American population.
The original show was a groundbreaking production for its day with its innovative choreography, but also its inner-city setting, themes and story about a war between the Jets, an inner street gang made up by youth from established ethnic groups (including Italian and Irish youth) whose neighbourhood or "turf" is threatened by the Sharks, made up of Puerto Rican newcomers.
Complicating the conflict is the love affair between Maria (Amber Tomlin), a recent arrival from Puerto Rico and sister of the Sharks' leader, Bernardo (Dani Jazzar), and Tony (David Cotton), the former leader of the Jets trying to break away from the gang and working as a stock boy for Doc's pharmacy and soda fountain, a hangout for local youth.
Instead of a rumble involving both gangs, perhaps with weapons (knives, guns) the leaders agree to a "fair fight" with fists between each gang's toughest member. But things get quickly out of control when Tony tries to stop the fight and the war, leading to the stabbing death of the Jets' leader, Riff, Tony's best friend, at the hands of Bernardo. In a rage, Tony stabs and kills Bernardo, whose girlfriend, Anita (Louise Camilleri) is then raped by the other gang and Tony is shot to death in the final tragic scene.
What I felt was lacking in this production directed by Max Reimer is grit. The costumes and characters (with a couple of exceptions) were just too clean, although the set (designed by Samantha Burson) with its oily darkness, back alley fire escapes and streetscape fit the bill perfectly.
I thought Tony looked more like a young man about to head off to college and most gang members were soon to follow.
Cotton, whose vocals were outstanding, didn't inspire any sense of the street-savvy gang leader and fell short of evoking that excitement of first love, perhaps my impression tainted by his pronunciation of Maria ("Mo-ria") which I found irritating.
That was in contrast to Tomlin's Maria, beautifully performed with vocals that were a revelation, a bundle of innocence, naivety, passion and love.
The only sense of grit among the characters emanated from Jazzar's Bernardo, whose ripped physical stature was backed by a defiant, proud and angry demeanour, and his girlfriend, Anita, in a great performance by Camilleri.
Beyond Tomlin, Camilleri and Jazzar, the other stars of this show are: musical director Mark Camilleri, whose handling of Bernstein's classic score (Something's Coming, America, Tonight, Maria, Cool and I Feel Pretty) ranged from delicate flourishes to the playful and the powerful; and, especially, choreographer Lisa Stevens, who captures the tension in the opening number and carries it through to the final, tragic ending, along the way exploring the passion, silliness and power of youth.
This West Side Story isn't perfect, but Reimer's production is still great entertainment, especially for audiences of a certain generation.

"Everything Will Be OK."
Finn Janning, a philosopher who lives and works in Barcelona Spain, has written a very perceptive and sympathetic review of The Nihilist: A Philosophical Novel titled "Everything Will Be OK."
Dr. Janning's blog also contains an interesting collection of essays, creative non-fiction and other reviews in both English and Danish. I recommend checking it out.
Bound Together Books
My wife and I were at the anarchist collective Bound Together Books the other day when I overheard a guy talking about nihilism to his friend. Stepping out front, I was pleased to see that my book, The Nihilist: A Philosophical Novel, has been put on display in their storefront. These anarchists obviously have good taste!

The Nihilist: Dr. John Marmysz will discuss his newest book, The Nihilist: A Philosophical Novel (No Frills Buffalo,2015). It tells the story of a philosophy professor caught in the grips of nihilistic despair. Following the death of his mother and the increasingly bizarre deaths of his closest friends, the nameless main character is afflicted with a mysterious malady that forces him to confront the absurdity of his own meaningless existence. Brain parasites, scatological dreams, punk rock, and spontaneous human combustion appear alongside the ideas of Heraclitus, Socrates, Diogenes, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Heidegger. The result is a wryly humorous philosophical allegory of hopelessness and resignation in the face of the void. (The Nihilist is available at amazon.com)
John Marmysz holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from State University of New York at Buffalo. His interests focus on issues of nihilism and its cultural manifestations. Marmysz is also the author of The Nihilist's Notebook (Moralinefree Publishing, 1996), Laughing at Nothing: Humor as a Response to Nihilism (SUNY Press, 2003), and The Path of Philosophy: Truth, Wonder and Distress (Wadsworth, 2011). He is coeditor (with Scott Lukas) of Fear, Cultural Anxiety and Transformation: Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy Films Remade (Lexington Books, 2009).

Having just been to my 3 year olds first kids birthday party I realized how much sugar is consumed by these little ones in just 2 hours. From sweets to cakes to chocolate covered fruits and breadsticks and bucket loads of juice. I over heard one of the parents saying "Oh well that's what a party is all about isn't it?"
But does it have to be? My 3 year old has never tried sweets or cakes apart from the grain free, sugar free treats I make at home and despite this did not have less of a good time than the others. In fact he did not even once ask to try the different sugary treats. If you can call these treats when children consume them several times a week or even every day.
He was immediately attracted to the fruit kebabs, which looked like big lollipops and the parsnip and beetroot chips. I admit he was allowed some natural apple juice too. When the piñata was broken and sweets came tumbling out alongside little presents such as whistles and harmonicas he grabbed these with joy running around blowing them happily. When the treasure hunt was a mix of sweets and plastic jewelry he came to me proudly with his new pink necklace and a ring but did not have a sweet in hand. He thoroughly enjoyed the party and did not feel left out or unhappy that he was not able to eat all that sugar. Some of the other parents were struggling to limit the sugar intake in their kids. "No more, I said no more sweets" as the children were digging through their treat bags.
We have created an association between sugar and having a good time for children like alcohol at an adult party. In fact sugar has been termed a gateway drug and one can see from the affects and the cravings this is definitely true. Sugar is found in many foods hidden so well that many parents are unaware it is even there. Just look at cereals, cereal bars, yoghurts and juices, which are deemed as healthy by many. These are packed with sugar thereby exposing children to much more sugar than they should ever have and this on a daily basis.
For a sugar free treat that could easily be served instead of ice cream at a kids party see this recipe.
"One ingredient banana ice cream"! Add some berries, raw cocoa, mint or vanilla for some different flavours. I added peanut butter which turned out to be delicious and you would never know it is dairy and sugar free! All you have to do is peel the banana, cut it into slices and pop them into your freezer. Once frozen you just blend them on their own or with your favourite flavor. Its as easy as that and kids will love it!
If you would like more information on 'Nutrition for Families' please contact us about one of our nutrition talks.
Here is to someone who gave up sugar for a whole year with her family.
The best thing you can do for your child is to never even start!

Two jewelry designers work featured on One Tree Hill
on Monday,January 11,2010 23:01
For successful designers, mass exposure is one of the most important keys to success particularly in the world of fashion. That''s why two New Orleans jewelry designers recently jumped at the chance to showcase their projects on the hit CW drama One Tree Hill.
Madilynn Nelson and Julie Little were two bead enthusiasts until a shared revelation at a local trade show inspired them to go into the design business together. Over the past year and a half, the pair has cultivated an impressive resume of designer jewelry utilizing specially cut stones, strings of pearls, hand-gilded Ostrich eggs, and chunks of coral among other ingredients.
Proving the old adage about "who you know," Nelson recently gifted a burnished gunmetal and black pearl necklace for a friend''s birthday. The friend happened to be Carol Cutshall, the lead costume designer for One Tree Hill.
The unique coloring and material presented not only a stunning image, but provided the experienced costumer with the perfect coloration for TV.
"When I got that first necklace and saw the burnished metals, it was perfect for camera," Cutshall tells NOLA.com. "Lots of jewelry is too reflective. And the muted tones and raw stones are so pretty."
Though she eventually turned the necklace over to the show''s star Sophia Bush, Cutshall admits to wearing the necklace before bringing it in to film.

Developing real skills. Gaining real experience. Building students' expertise. That's what online education in computer networking is all about. While online education may not be for everyone or every degree, there are online degree programs that have been developed with the sole purpose of blazing career paths in the computer industry. Computer networking is one of these degree programs.
Online Degree Program = Career Path
Networks are everything in today's business environment. The ability to design, install, configure, and maintain computer networks defines a company's ability to meets its customer's needs.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts rapid job growth in this industry through the year 2014. To meet this demand, online schools have begun to offer training and degree programs online. These online degree programs are career paths in a still growing industry.
Online Education in Computer Networking
Online education in computer networking focuses on several key areas of study:
- Fundamental computing
- Computer network applications
- Global system integration
For each of these areas, online schools provide curriculum, case studies, experimentation, and hands-on training in computer networking. Online degree programs are well-suited for a degree in computer networking for their intense exposure to the Internet and the development of fundamental computer skills.
Industry Exposure
Another benefit of online education is the partnerships between online schools and computer networking businesses. At one online school, the computer network engineering online degree program has partnered with industry leader Cisco to provide cutting edge curriculum and training.
The aim of an online degree program in computer networking is career specific: graduates will be able to design and maintain wide area network and local area networks, computer database systems, and computer upgrades. Building this expertise is what online degree programs are all about.

It is time for the Season 3 finale of Bachelor in Paradise and spoilers tease that there are multiple engagements on the way. In the past, the franchise has tried to keep details regarding these kinds of things under wraps, essentially ignoring the scoop that gossip guru "Reality Steve" revealed along the way. For whatever reason, this summer the franchise is apparently embracing the opportunity to hype up one couple, in particular, sharing significant spoilers ahead of the last shows.
Josh and Amanda are making big post-Bachelor in Paradise plans
Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton connected very early on in Season 3 and they have been inseparable ever since. Reality Steve's Bachelor in Paradise spoilers revealed some time ago that they got engaged in the finale and they have gone public in sharing that they are currently living together in California. Josh and Amanda indicate that they are planning to relocate with her daughters to Georgia after the last show airs and now new previews confirm that they are headed toward an engagement in the last episodes.
Entertainment Tonight was on the scene in Mexico as the show was preparing to tape the finale. Murray talked about how he knew there was something special about Stanton the moment he met her and he even talked about wanting to propose and what kind of ring he envisioned for her. Josh also shared that he and Amanda have talked about having children together, hoping to add three more to the family.
Bachelor in Paradise star calls his gal the best woman he's ever met
Josh may have gotten engaged to Andi Dorfman during her Bachelorette season, and talked about a wedding and children with her, but Bachelor in Paradise fans know that their relationship met a fiery end a few months later. Murray says that Stanton is an amazing woman and the best woman he's ever met, and it seems that he will be introducing her to his mother before he proposes.
Are Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton the real deal?Bachelor in Paradise spoilers tease that two other couples will get engaged in the final episodes as well and Reality Steve has detailed that at this point, all three pairs remain together and engaged. Fans are anxious to see how these last moments of Season 3 play out and cannot wait to see if any of these pairs end up making it down the aisle.

You just want to root for Justin James. In a cutthroat industry rife with competition, here is a nice guy you want to see finish first. And let there be no doubt: he will. He's just too good not to.
I had the chance to see Justin play for the very first time at a private affair in the Minus Showcase at the Red Bull Guest House. It was there when I saw (and more importantly heard) the talent and energy my friends had spoken of.
So believe me, when faced with the opportunity to have a friendly chat with the Windsor, Ontario native for THUMP about his new label refused., his recent EP, his first Movement gig, and his passion for Detroit techno, I jumped at it. It's a shot to get in on the ground floor of an artist I personally see standing out in the next wave of techno superstars, and who could turn that down?
THUMP: How would you define the vision behind your new refused. label? It's your baby.
Justin: refused. is a means for me to contribute to the special culture of underground dance music, simple as that. Not only does it provide me with an outlet to share my own music and the music of my friends that I admire, but to give new artists a chance to be heard on a larger scale.
Do you remember when it all first started coming together? This was a long time in the making, if I correctly recall from chatting in Miami.
It's been something that I have wanted to do for a while. I just didn't know what steps to take to make it happen. Once I finally got around to learning more about distribution, it was full steam ahead.
It just made sense, right?
I had music and I had music from others, so yes sir, it made sense.
I assume it isn't just any music you are planning to release. What can you tell me about the sound that is going to define this label?
Quite simply, it'll be good forward-thinking tunes that fall under the guise of techno. That means music from myself, my friends whom I admire, and music from up-and-coming talent across the globe.
Does your longstanding association with Richie Hawtin's legendary Minus camp help steer what you're trying to achieve with refused.?
Rich, his business sense, his music curating and A&R practices have had a very strong influence on our industry for over 20 years. So his direction has certainly guided my choices on both an artistic and professional level.
On the artistic end, let's chat about your recent Not The Curator EP. Knowing your passion for the technical side of things, what can you share about the production process of this new release?
The whole EP was created at very different times. As a result, I feel as if I took a different approach to producing each track. To be honest, I can't exactly tell you the exact process! It's something that just happens, you know? But what I can tell you is that I was in a different headspace when each track was conceived.
What about the kind of equipment you used in creating the EP?
I employed quite a hybrid of analog hardware and software devices in putting together each track.
On the road or in the studio? I'm amazed by how many of you guys like to work while on tour. I'd honestly be focused on trying to catch a wink of sleep.
All of it was completed in my studio. I have a comfort zone in there. I rarely do production on the outside.
That probably meant it took a longer time than usual to complete though, no?
At least 2 years. I mean "Not The Curator," "Inquire Within" and "Absolutely Necessary" were being hammered out around the world by Richie Hawtin for longer than I can remember.
Besides the big man, what other kind of support has the EP been receiving?
Other than Rich? So far Dubfire, Luciano, Stacey Pullen, Matte Blakk, Mr. Bizz, MiniCoolBoyz, The Junkies, Shaded, Jewel Kid, and Nathan Barato…
So basically current techno royalty and the next generation right behind them?
And many more [laughs].
Were you previewing it at all at WMC?
I think I played all of them at the Red Bull Guest House event in Miami. As you know, we had short sets.
Yeah, like 30-minute ones! Blink and you miss it…
So I decided to play all of my own tracks. It was pretty fun in that regard.
Tell us about this exclusive mix for THUMP. What's the story that you are trying to tell with it?
I wouldn't say there is necessarily a story I'm trying to tell here. Rather, I'm trying to give the listener a clear idea of what they would hear if they were to catch me on any given night.
So an autobiography of sorts?
Sure, why not!
I know no autobiography of you would be complete without reference to Movement, so what does your upcoming gig mean to you?
Playing Movement is sincerely a dream come true. It's been an event that I have not missed since its inception. The music and experience from this festival has shaped who I am as an artist today. Seriously. This event is one of the most meticulously curated and authentic festivals in the world, let alone North America.
Going even deeper, how has the city of Detroit and your lifelong proximity to it influenced you?
I'm very fortunate to have been influenced primarily by the music coming out of Detroit, the music that influenced the city and the music that it has inspired. I've considered myself a student of Detroit techno ever since I had the opportunity to produce a documentary on the topic while I was in university studying communications.
That's quite an introduction.
Tell me about it. It was my gateway into really understanding, following and falling in love with the culture.

Dr Ben Williamson Seminar – Sentient schools: educational institutions as software-supported big data platforms & sensing environments
Dr Ben Williamson, from Stirling University, recently came to Oxford University to give a seminar, Sentient schools: educational institutions as software-supported big data platforms & sensing environments, to the learning and new technologies research group.
Dr Williamson discussed the increasing emphasis on the idea of the 'smart city' in technology related industry and academic discourses and the developing vision of cities gaining a form of sentience. Drawing on both industry and academic literature, he asked what education might look like in such a technology focused and data driven context. Highlighting the hidden power of the programmers and technological designers he raised a number of questions related to structure and agency, power in education and technology, the dominance of certain discourses in academia, and the place of schooling in the future.
The slides from the talk can be downloaded from the LNTRG Website: /wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/BW_Sentient-schools_Oxford-Uni_Feb2015.pptx

Drivers from Budget Taxis will be transforming their cars into Batmobiles for Metro Radio's Cash for Kids charity day on Friday 15th May.
Ant and Dec are putting their best foot forward to lead hundred of caped crusaders to raise as much money as possible for Bauer Media's charity. Superhero Day was set up in order to raise as much money as possible for Cash for Kids by inspiring people to go above and beyond to dress as their favourite hero for the day.
The duo Ant and Dec will be stopping off in Newcastle to raise extra money for the charity, including Metro Radio auctioning off the opportunity to meet the pair at their radio station. Hundreds of schools, businesses, individuals, shops, colleges, universities and many others will unite together to raise as much as they possibly can, maybe with the help of some super powers.
Kevin Dixon, from Budget Taxis, has his costume all sorted, "As soon as I heard about the event I knew I had to get the company involved. I bought my Batman costume specially and I hope the customers will see the funny and giving side to my Batmobile, I just can't wait to get out there and start raising money for such a fantastic cause."
Budget Taxis, and sister company Noda Taxis, have assembled all of their staff and given them the orders to wear their superhero costumes on Friday for a good cause. They're even running in house competitions for the biggest money raiser and of course, the best dressed.
Owner Mohammed Suleman, known to all friends and customers as Sully, told us "As soon as Kevin told me about Superhero Day I knew it was something I needed to get my company involved in, it's a bit of fun that raises lots of money for children who needs it most. We can't wait to pull on our lycra suits and fly around the streets, safely of course, picking up our passengers"
Anyone can get involved in superhero day, either by dressing up, taking part in sponsored activities or simply donating. For more information about how to get involved, visit www.metroradio.co,uk/superhero or to make a donation of £5, text HAPPY to 70070.

Actor Paul Montoya has pursued a dream of working with director Jorge Ali Triana, a dream that has finally come true for him. Currently appearing in "El Coronel No Tiene Quien Le Escriba," Montoya now picks and chooses his career projects.
I shared questions and answers with Montoya regarding his professional acting career, his life philosophies and his influences.
Rewinding to an interview from Mother's Day 2014, the best word that described Montoya was a "dreamer." Aside from a new tattoo, how much has changed since we last spoke?
Thank you for having me back! Actually, two new tattoos: a butterfly on the back of my leg (meaning transformation) and the one lower my chest, one of my favorite Peter Pan quotes: "I do believe in fairies." I feel like I'm a better version of myself—still making mistakes, yes, but at least I'm more aware of them and more aware of what I like and what I don't like. In the past years I somehow learned how to put myself first in order to be there for others and discovered other passions to help me out of the routine, like traveling.
Tell me a little bit about the career you are trying to pursue. Are you actively acting at Repertorio Español theatre?
I continue working on my career. Of course some changes happened. I decided to be more selective when I was choosing the projects that I was thrilled to work in. Yes, I'm actively working at Repertorio Español with a new show, "El Coronel No Tiene Quien Le Escriba" (No One Writes to the Colonel) by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and directed by Jorge Alí Triana. As you remember, this was one of my dreams to work with this director, and now I can actually check that off the bucket list. Dreams actually come true. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it!
Where would you like to be in five years, professionally?
I currently don't have a crazy, determined vision about the next five years. I've learned how to live more in the moment, of course involving where I want to be in my future. Meaning I'm studying different ideas and projects and [will] see where this beautiful life will take me.
Is there a moment in your life that changed the whole trajectory (course or path) of it?
I have a couple of them, but I think moving to the U.S. changed my whole life. Now I'm trying to combine both the Colombian and the now New Yorker and get the best of both for new chapters.
If you could pick two famous parents to be your parents, who would you pick and why?
Interesting one. I was raised by strong women, and I feel like if I have to choose I will identify with powerful, kind and loving women like the ones in my family. I will say names like Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Ellen, Michelle Obama. Girl power.
Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your younger self?
To stop second guessing and just believe and love yourself. In order to help and love others, you have to start with yourself.
From the looks of your Facebook, you seem to be traveling quite a bit. Any exciting places you would like to share and the special memories behind the travel?
Traveling is one of my passions. I had the chance to explore more in the past years. It's like a different world everywhere I go. I don't like to stay in fancy hotels or do just all the regular stuff; I like to almost become a local and explore, taste and live the real experience. So I have crazy and beautiful memories of each place. I can't wait to keep traveling and discovering the whole world.
Anything we haven't covered that you would like to promote?
Right now you can catch me at Repertorio Español in "El Coronel No Tiene Quien Le Escriba" with English subtitles? Friday, April 6, 8 p.m.; Thursday, April 12, 7 p.m?.; Sunday, April 22, 3 p.m.; Friday, May 4, 8 p.m.?; and Saturday, May 12, 3 p.m.

We thought about how to make Live Preview better, and then we went ahead and did the things we thought of. There's a Pro Tip™ in there somewhere.
Live Preview now feels smoother than ever and now sports the ability to preview different device widths in real time. Were I to use 10x more words to explain it you wouldn't gain any additional knowledge, so instead here's a video of it in action.
And yes, the device names and corresponding dimensions will be configurable. 🔥 Have a great weekend!

Statistics claim I have less than 30 seconds to grab your attention.
Thus, I need to be witty or engaging.
- What if I told you that I completed my first novel, "Serum Soldier" when I was only 13 years old? I'm pretty driven.
- Maybe you'd prefer to hear about the time I made frosting with granulated sugar instead of confectioner's sugar. It had the grittiest texture and nobody enjoyed it. I cried. Since then I have mastered chocolate frosting!
- How about the time when I was three years old and I bit into all the Styrofoam vegetables/fruit held by the Pilgrim doll on our dining table at Thanksgiving? That time my mamma cried.
- I study US History and I'm a self-proclaimed expert on Benedict Arnold.

Temperature-wise, spring just isn't the same here in San Antonio as it was growing up in the Midwest. But even without cool, breezy temperatures, spring still represents an annual renewal.
If you're like me, you feel an increased level of energy and excitement. You may be thinking about translating that energy into a round of golf or diving into spring cleaning mode. While I'd usually opt for the former, here I'm going to suggest you focus your energy on spring cleaning -- more specifically, spring cleaning your finances.
Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
Review your beneficiary designations. If I had a dollar for every client I've worked with who had outdated beneficiaries on their life insurance, IRAs, investments or bank accounts, I'd be on the golf course all day, every day. I've seen married individuals with a parent or sibling as their beneficiary, divorced people with their ex- as beneficiary, and even people with no beneficiary at all. This spring, ensure all your beneficiary arrangements reflect your current wishes.
Update your estate planning documents. Beneficiary arrangements are just one element of a comprehensive estate plan. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills and letters of instruction should be periodically updated in accordance with the current law and your wishes. Add them to your to-do list.
Consider your strategy for collecting Social Security. It takes a different skill set to navigate the pitfalls of retirement income planning than it does to build your retirement nest egg. One big decision that may loom is the "when" decision on Social Security. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but generally later is better. With every year you delay to age 70 equating to roughly an 8% raise, later can make financial sense. If you haven't, contact your local Social Security office this spring and start to dig into the details.
Clean out old documents. I'll never forget venturing into a client's basement to confront dozens and dozens of boxes of canceled checks and the like. Sure, you need to have a document retention strategy like the one found here, but this bit of spring cleaning will free up space and ease the burden for someone coming in later to sort out your affairs.
Check your automatic payments. A few years ago, I was doing some financial spring cleaning of my own. During the process, I found myself examining our wide range of automatic deductions and payments. There was a charge that I did not recognize but had seen before. I just assumed -- you know what they say about that -- my wife had signed up for something. This time, we were looking at things together and realized it was not a charge either of us had made. In fact, our daughter had signed us up for a movie-of-the-month club. We didn't receive any movies, but we did pay for nearly a year's worth of "membership." As you clean, make sure you're not paying for services you no longer need or want.
Build your tax deduction. As you're conducting your normal spring cleaning, set aside your unused stuff and consider donating at the local Goodwill or other charity of your choice. Get a receipt to document the donation, and you may be able to take a charitable deduction when you prepare your 2019 tax return next year.
This spring, clean up more than your garage with a focused effort to fine-tune your finances.

Personal Education Number (PEN) Information for Students and Parents
Students entering B.C.'s education system are assigned a Personal Education Number (PEN) – a unique nine-digit number.
You may have a PEN if you:
- Attended a B.C. K-12 school since 1993
- Wrote a provincial exam since 1986 or
- Attended a B.C. Public Post-Secondary Institution since 1998
You can use your PEN to:
- View or order your secondary school transcript
- Send your secondary school transcripts to post-secondary institutions
- Order your graduation certificate
- View your scholarships
- View your provincial exam or graduation assessment results.
Personal Education Numbers can be useful for students registering in a B.C. Post-secondary Institution.
Find Your PEN
The easiest way to find your PEN is by:
- Checking your student records or your report card
- Ask at your current, or recent secondary school, or
- The top right-hand corner of your official Ministry of Education transcript
If you still cannot find your PEN try:
- The school where you wrote your most recent provincial exam
- If you attended a B.C. Public Post-Secondary Institution since 1998, you may have a PEN. Contact that institution's records department
- Download and complete as per the instructions on the Student PEN Request Form (PDF)
PENs can only be given to:
- The person assigned the PEN
- That person's current or future school (in case of early registrations)
- That person's parent or guardian (if the person is under 19 years of age and incapable of consenting to the disclosure)
Under the Freedom of Information and the Protection of Privacy Act, PEN information cannot be given over the phone.
Registering for a Post-Secondary Institution Without a PEN
Providing your PEN on Post-Secondary application(s) will streamline the process. However, as a student, you are not required to provide your PEN.
If an application form or web site asks for your PEN, you may leave it blank. An institution cannot deny or delay your application if you do not provide your PEN. If you are applying from out of province, then the B.C. Post-Secondary Institution will request a PEN from the Ministry of Education on your behalf.
- Contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you encounter problems registering without your PEN

Interview with Chris Becker, CIO, Shelter Group
Baby Boomers and their families are increasingly coming to expect senior care communities to provide mobile devices and wireless access for resident use and to offer support for resident technology. As a result, communities are increasingly investing in technology to keep residents and their visiting family members connected.
So what are the biggest challenges to implement resident mobility? How do you address corresponding wireless needs and security considerations? And what are the greatest gains for communities in offering mobile devices and access for residents? In this PeerView, Shelter Group CIO Chris Becker discusses his experience and insights on adopting and managing resident mobile technology.
For the past 30 years, the Shelter Group has operated over 80 multifamily and senior living communities, including vibrant independent living, assisted living and memory care facilities, under the Brightview Senior Living, Park View and Shelter Properties brands. Chris and his team manage the strategy and execution of all IT operations including the effective delivery of networks, applications and technology support systems and processes for all Shelter Group locations.
CDW: What types of technology do you currently have in place in your communities, both for residents and for staff? What new technology are you considering?
CHRIS: For staff we have a fairly large suite of smartphones for our directors onsite, used primarily for communication among themselves and with the home office. We also use tablets for resident and memory care, and for use by our activities staff. The tablets are used for brain fitness and to show residents opportunities to stay connected to their families; for example, posting and messaging on Facebook. In terms of new technology, we're doing pilots with several companies now for resident mobility. One thing we're looking into is providing a turnkey device to residents as they come into the community.
CDW: What benefits do you see in offering and supporting mobile devices for residents?
CHRIS: Portable devices are an enjoyable way for seniors to read and talk about their interests online, shop, catch up on the news, engage in self-improvement and brain fitness activities, and stay connected to their families and friends. The benefits tie to the same reasons everyone uses technology. Technology makes us happy. People use their mobile devices for everyday life these days as well as enjoyment. And there's no reason why seniors shouldn't have those options, or at least be educated to know that they exist.
One of our Vibrant Living staff told me a story the other day about a resident who really had no prior experience going online. The staff member said, "Well, let me just show you." So she went over and pulled up Amazon and said, "So what do you want to shop for today? Let's shop for a new purse." And the resident was absolutely amazed at what she could do on Amazon. The staff member almost had tears in her eyes telling me this. She said, "You know what? It took me five minutes to make such a difference in this lady's life — that she can shop now. She's been shopping all her life, and currently doesn't have the ability to go out to the mall. Through technology, she just found a way to go to the mall and shop."
CDW: How are you taking security into consideration at Shelter Group when you're thinking about new devices and access?
CHRIS: Since we're a healthcare organization, we have to be concerned with security. We're always thinking about HIPAA compliance. We do not allow BYOD; all our devices are corporate-owned for our associates. We control every device via strict mobile device management (MDM), so we can wipe or reset devices as needed. On the Wi-Fi side, we have both a guest network and a corporate network. Our guest network requires a login and password, and the corporate network has high security and requires authorized access.
CDW: What are your biggest challenges in adopting resident mobile technology and Internet access?
CHRIS: Our associates and our senior leadership understand the benefits that mobile technology provides. It really is not a difficult conversation to get invested in mobile devices. There are challenges in finding the right product. There's so much technology that does so well and then there's a lot that doesn't do so well. So we're splitting that apart. But the other thing is that I think we need to take time one on one to introduce residents to mobile devices and what they can do. In terms of wireless access, we've been putting "whole house" Wi-Fi in all of our buildings for the past four years, and we're completing that process over the next few years. Every community wants it — they want to use it for everything from associate and resident communication to marketing. It will happen, but it will just take some time.
CDW: As you've added more technology and upgraded your networks, how has it affected your need for internal staff resources?
CHRIS: We are now managing a fleet of up to 650 mobile devices, and that's turned out to be almost a full-time job. When you get behind in managing devices, billing and inventory get out of whack, so internally it's necessary to have someone dedicated to support it. Wi-Fi is not as taxing on our internal resources because we made the decision to outsource it. We partnered with a national company to set up a customized, high-quality system four years ago that included design, installation and ongoing end-user support. In terms of my team, I would like to be able to innovate more — faster. Members of our team have really good ideas and a lot of knowledge. The technology need is only going to grow, so it's important to plan for that as it happens. I've kept in mind for years that we're going to need to be HIPAA-compliant sooner or later, so we've tried to lay the right tracks to compliance. We've had four years of preparation.
CDW: What are some key recommendations you'd give to other senior living communities looking to invest in mobile technology?
CHRIS: The biggest eye opener for me has been to get out from behind my desk and talk to the frontline staff who are actually interacting with residents every day. Also to understand and think about the technology need of not just one community, but many communities, because they're often different. These residents are your audience. So you've got to understand your audience and their unique needs before you can bring in the right technology. It's much better to fit the technology to the need than the need to the technology. Also, when it comes to resident technology, make it easy. It doesn't need to be difficult or scary. Provide different ways to teach and engage you audience.
CDW: If you had a crystal ball, how would you say mobile technology is going to fit into the puzzle of the overall technology experience in senior care?
CHRIS: Well, think of it like this. About 20 years ago, home PCs were just becoming mainstream. Internet connectivity? A 56k dialup connection was the norm. Mobile devices like we use today were a dream. That's only 20 years ago. So it's already been a game changer across the board for the typical citizen in the United States. However, many seniors were left out because they retired before all these technology advancements. We're still discovering what all the benefits to seniors are beyond the typical uses of younger generations. I think everyone understands that as people age, they're going to be bringing their mobile technology with them. The challenge will shift from simply engaging seniors with technology to how best to use technology to keep them engaged, vibrant, healthy and happy.

Becoming an egg donor is a great help to couples having infertility issues or struggling with having a child of their own. If you're thinking about helping out by becoming an egg donor, here are 5 things you should know before jumping into it:
Physically, psychologically, and emotionally taxing
Egg donation means that the patient is willing to donate their eggs for it to become an embryo and be birthed by the mother of the child. Before becoming an egg donor, however, the patient has to undergo a series of medical tests before the clinic or agency accepts. The medical tests include physical and gynecological exams, blood and urine tests for HIV and other infectious diseases testing, and a pelvic ultrasound exam. They will also need the patient's personal details such as their medical and family history as well as to conduct a psychological evaluation. The patient needs to make several visits to the doctor's office and can take a toll on the patient in the long run.
The donor is paid not for donating her eggs but for the time and effort spent in the process. Payments for egg donation approximately range from $4,000-$10,000 usually for infertility reasons. It can go even higher especially if the preferred characteristics are met—in terms of ethnicity, physical features, and the like.
The prospective parents will shoulder all the costs and expenses necessary for the egg donation cycle including egg donor insurance, medical expenses, attorney fees, travel expenses, hotel accommodations, and so on. Beyond the monetary compensation is the fulfillment of being able to help couples achieve their dream of having their own child and creating a family. This is what motivates some egg donors far and wide.
Egg Donation Process
As soon as the donor finds its match and agrees to donate her eggs to the interested party, the patient will take medication to prepare the body for injectable fertility drugs. The goal is to stimulate egg production so that they would be able to harvest a number of mature eggs. That said, the patient will undergo frequent blood tests and ultrasound examinations for the doctors to monitor how the eggs are developing and the patient's response to the drugs. Afterward, the patient will undergo a minor surgical procedure to remove the eggs. The egg retrieval process is the last medical procedure and takes more or less an hour to get it done.
Health Risks
For any medical procedure, it always comes with potential risks. During the egg donation cycle, the patient might have reactions to medications such as hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, soreness, headache, etc. The medication for stimulating egg production will make the patient produce more mature eggs than the normal amount. Thus, the medications could lead to hyperstimulation or Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) wherein there is swelling of the patient's ovaries and they become heavy with fluid. Rarely does OHSS become fertility threatening and life-threatening? However, if the patient shows signs of this syndrome before retrieval, the doctor may stop the medication, and ultimately, the cycle is canceled. It is also an important reminder that the patient must abstain from sexual intercourse as this will possibly result in multiple births. After the retrieval, the patient could experience some levels of discomfort such as nausea, pain (due to a blood clot), severe pelvic pain, and the like. When such things occur, a doctor is immediately called to find out if there are complications.
In addition, there aren't many studies that show how the egg donors are affected, in terms of either their fertility or health, in the long term and these effects are unknown as of yet. Thus, the patient must take her time and think about it before making her decision.
Financial and Legal Considerations
Before any contract signing, questions and clarifications must be addressed such as who will shoulder the cost if there are complications? Does the patient relinquish her rights on the child? It is important that the patient consults with her obstetrician and gynecologist, a psychologist, and a lawyer that specializes or is familiar with the reproductive health law. This is to ensure that the patient's interests and safety are protected. On the donor's part, she must research the clinic and know the experience and qualifications of the practitioners. The patient must at least know the capabilities of the clinic and its practitioners as she would spend her time with them throughout the cycle.
As previously stated, the process requires commitment and patience, including finding a match which could take a long time. However, if the patient knows what to expect, she may go on with the procedure and find joy in helping out a couple conceive their child and create a family.
