Active Foot Pressure Control for Diabetic Patients
Document Type
Conference Proceeding
Publication Date
Foot Ulcer in diabetic patients is a serious medical problem. A major contributor for the development of diabetic foot ulcers is a high, localized plantar foot pressure. It is believed that in diabetes the nerves in the extreme parts of the human body are damaged and cause deregulated blood flow, which may cause an insufficient blood supply. This can lead to a loss of feeling, change in shape of the feet, necrosis and ulcerations, and ultimately to partial or total amputation of the body part. The loss of feeling in the feet results in a loss of feedback to control the foot pressure distribution. It is proposed that high foot pressure concentration can be avoided by using an active, intelligent shoe insert, which is based on the mechanics of smart materials. This paper investigates the controls schemes necessary to accomplish an external foot pressure distribution scheme for preventing ulcerations or the progression of existing ulcers. A simple mathematical model of the shoe insert is developed. Foot pressure distributions for healthy subjects are used as a basis to control elevated foot pressures by changing the shape of the shoe insert. The optimal shape of the shoe insert with regard to the existing pressure distribution is computed. The optimal shape is implemented using different control schemes. The performance and the efficiency of the proposed control schemes are compared and analyzed. The main advantage of the proposed active shoe insert is its capability to sense the pressure peaks, change the pressure distribution, and provide stimuli for increased blood flow in the diabetic feet.

Jerry Springer plays a primetime ringmaster on "America's Got Talent," but he's showing "Extra" why he might be a better contestant than host!
The legendary television host has had lots of jobs, from charming underdog on "Dancing with the Stars" to television anchor and even mayor!
But who knew that Jerry could sing?
"When I sing, people get involved, because they have to guess where the notes were supposed to have been," Jerry told us.
But joking aside, Jerry is one hard-working man.
"Being mayor was the best job I ever had," he said of his time ruling Cincinnati.
Not many people know Jerry once dominated city hall – but they do remember him dominating the dance floor as the charming underdog on "Dancing with the Stars."
"The truth is every week I did the exact same dance except at a different speed," he admitted. "And they gave it a different title."
You can stay in tune with Jerry on "America's Got Talent," Monday nights on NBC.

Not only was it one of Mark's earlier knives, I believe it was the first damascus blade he's ever done (Mark can confirm/deny that). And it's still razor sharp. And it's mine!

If you have spent any time living in the United Kingdom you will know that during summer there are endless amounts of festivals being held. The music festivals are world renowned and host some of the biggest stars in the industry. Now I realise that this season has drawn to a close in England, but that means its only just starting in the Southern Hemisphere! Cape Town and the Western Cape comes alive in October with some epic festivals.
We have written about the importance of immersing yourself into your temporary country of residence while you learn English. We have written about alternative ways of learning English such as listening to English music. We have written about ways to enhance your stay and getting the most out of it by learning about the people and their culture. And we have also written about the emphasis we at Oxford English Academy put on being socially active. Add all this up and I read: Music Festival!
This past weekend saw the start of these incredible events with Rocking the Daisies in Darling taking place. This festival has grown massively every year, becoming one of the "must do's" on the festival calendar. "Unplugged 62" also took place on a wine farm close to a little town called Barrydale. This a much smaller more intimate venue, however the quality in entertainment is in no way lacking.
November sees the opening of the Kirstenbosch Summer Concerts Series. These concerts take place weekly in the breath taking setting of our Botanical Gardens against the backdrop of Table Mountain. Pack a picnic and make sure you get a good spot on the grass in front of the stage. World class acts present themselves at this ever growing out door event.
Early in December there is River Republic held on the Breede River. As the summer festivals go, this is still a considerably small one! Festival goers spend the weekend floating around on Lilo's while listening to an impressive line-up of local talent.
If you are heading to Cape Town during the summer months I would honestly suggest you make a plan to attend such an event. Always be sure to take warm clothing, even though it might be spring now and summer soon, there can easily still be a bite in the air.
I can assure you after a few of these events you will have improved your English conversational skills and most definitely have picked up on a lot of local Capetonian slang. Ask anyone at the school and we will be only too happy to help you plan such a trip.

The set to follow Return to Ravnica will be Gatecrash, as announced at the Magic Panel at San Diego Comic Con by Mark Rosewater.
Unlike Ravnica block, Gatecrash will also be a large set—both sets will contain 5 of the original 10 guilds. Return to Ravnica will include: Azorius, Rakdos, Selesnya, Golgari, and Izzet. While Gatecrash will contain: Simic, Dimir, Boros, Orzhov, and Gruul.
Both Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash will be drafted separately as standalone sets—until the release of the third set, "Sinker" (which contains all 10 guilds), when all 3 will be drafted together akin to a standard-sized block.
Also of note: At the prerelease for both sets, each player will choose a guild. One of the six packs in the sealed pool will be a special "guild booster", and contain a guild-specific prerelease promo card—which, for the first time, you can now play with in the prerelease itself!

The tags of time,an expression used to describe change.And thats exactly what this compilation does.One listen and its clear the tags of time in hip hop are changing,and taking interesting twists.And compared to a lot of the stale uninspired cds from artists with little or no skill at all,that sitt and collect dust in record stores and unsatisfied customers collections alike,TAGS OF THE TIMES 3 is like zeus breathing fresh life into the rap game.If your a hip hop head in any shape or form,this cd IS FOR YOU.Find it and buy it folks.
The cd starts off with a lil collabo between the living legends grouch,and and artist called l'roneous and elusive,who combine to form the ill group dream weavers.This song starts off with a killer feel good vibe,and lyrics to match. The hook in the song states "They say are music aint to dance to, I like to think we make are music so so special,you feel that?",and its clear they made this song very special. It cathes you in the groove like flies in spider webs,and draws you into the lryics off all the artists who shine equally.Another classic song on this comp. is atmospheres "between the lines" which a lot of people have heard,but its a very welcome addition. One song thats truly amazing is mikah nine's "FIRST THINGS LAST" which has a piano beat,that sounds like someone stroking the keys in order,and he flows with the piano perfectly,when the piano stops so does his flow,and he starts up again when the piano picks up. Aesop rock also pays a visit on "WISE UP",as soon as the song starts theres a sample that says "NOW HEAR THIS",shortly after aesop rips the track just as good as any of his best works to date,in other words another gem from big aesop rock.
There are two songs on this comp. that really got my attention. The first one is a god like collaboration between mr.lif, company flow, eligh, murs, scarub, bms, and 3mg which I first heard around the time of the September 11 attack.Its mr.lif's verse that made me wonder if he can predict the future, "I've got two underpaid educators on the faders,mad about the salaries of baseball players, a nation of thugs waving guns at the mayor,the meek on their knees cold praying for savior, enable the outlast disease that plauges ya,scientists with remedies save them for lata, in god we trust written on the paper,which soon will burn as humans learn to upgrade advance, but wade too far in the waters of chance,stress reaches to the heavens,its arms take the form of nuclear bombs, and when their weary,they drop and crush theory, laying to waste everything you held dearly, death is nearing ,at this point you see clearly,united by peril,just scream if you hear me."
When I heard this verse around 9-11 it made me think,it really meant something to me and shows how clever and aware mr.lif is.The song has some wicked bass,and also gets riped by el-p,with a phat verse which is always welcomed,and a wicked verse from eligh of living legends.
The second song that stood out to me, is called "CONFESSIONS OF THREE MEN" by (my favorite rapper) Dose One,shingo2,doc maxwell, and kirby dominant. It starts off with dose one setting the mood for the song which is over 11 minutes of story telling,where each rapper plays a part,as dose one narrates inbetween each mc's verse.
Other songs of mention,scarub's cut featuring tiombe lockheart called"FREAK WHAT YOU FEEL".This song has one of the most uplifting beats ive ever heard,with a combination of deep bass,and a soothing pianos.Scarub's lyrics are like easy listening to the mind and ears,tiombe lockhearts voice is one of the most beautiful youll ever come by,and together they make this song one youll want to listen to over,and over.Buck 65's "PACK ANIMAL",aceyalone's"FUTURE ROCKERS",and spoon,of a group called (Iodine),his song is called "ANTI-CHRIST"and I believe has a sample from carmina burnoff a classical artist,which was also featured in the movie Excalibur,and the commercials for John Madden football 2002.
Over and over,sums up this cd,because youll have this in your cd player of choice till quite possibly the tags of the times in the year 5000.The artists who contributed are all so different,which makes every song sound fresh.Listening to this cd is never boring,or dull,its an experience,that anyone who likes hip hop,should do themselves a favor and hear it.The "TAGS OF THE TIMES 3" is a work of art,and should be displayed in every hip hop heads collection.

This wasn't my favorite in the series, so I'll keep this brief.
Things I Liked:
– I admittedly do not know much about the details of the history and mythology of Christianity, so I don't know how much this book actually aligns with that, but Anne Rice's take on things here with Heaven, Hell, Creationism, evolution, angels, and Satan was interesting in its own way. And I liked how this book combined Christianity and evolution.
– This quote. Seriously, it just cracks me up.
"Armand envies you and spies on you far more than you might think."
"I hear Armand and I see him and I ignore him," [Lestat] said.
Things I Disliked:
– I read these books because I like the vampires. Those are the characters I've come to know and love and be invested in. But this wasn't about them. I mean, maybe something from this book will come up in a future book or something, but this was about Memnoch and the creation of the earth and the evolution of Man. You could take the vampires out, replace Lestat with any random person, and this would be the same. The vampires were hardly in it
– On a similar note, there was hardly a plot because the entire book was Lestat's victim telling his life story and then Memnoch telling his life story. And honestly, this whole life story thing is getting tiring. Almost every book in this series is full of characters literally explaining their life stories, but who actually does that???
– Dora was weird in an unrealistic sort of way. Like, when Lestat came back and randomly decided to rip off her underwear and drink her period blood, without asking her permission, in front of both Armand and David, she just let him, like it was a totally normal thing. And I'm not even sure that was the weirdest thing about her.
– The book was just a slog. I had to force myself to keep reading.
My review is sub-par, but this one that I came across describes my thoughts perfectly and is also entertaining, so check it out if you want more thoughts. Overall, I was just disappointed in this one because the vampire characters I've come to know and love (or at least be intrigued by) were hardly in it.
*I've read this book multiple times. This review was written after my 2nd read.*

Book Blurb
In the fifth Vampire Chronicle, Lestat is searching for Dora, the beautiful and charismatic mortal daughter of a drug lord. Dora has moved Lestat like no other mortal ever has, and he cannot get her out of his visions. At the same time, he is increasingly aware that the Devil knows who he is and wants something from him. While torn between his vampire world and his passion for Dora, Lestat is sucked in by Memnoch, who claims to be the Devil himself. Memnoch presents Lestat with unimagined opportunities: to witness creation, to visit purgatory, to be treated like a prophet. Lestat faces a choice between the Devil or God. Whom does he believe in? Who does he serve? What are the elements of religious belief? Lestat finds himself caught in a whirlpool of the ultimate choice.

The Yoni Squeeze ( and other ways to love your Yoni)
The Yoni Squeeze( and other ways to love your Yoni) Hey beautiful sistersI hope you enjoy this little video on HOW to activate your Yoni, your sacred space, your divine vulva...And please bear with me as i take a moment to remind you WHY you would do that...and also give you some other quick tips on how to activate and nourish your sexual organs as a daily practice.The WHY.... When you squeeze you bring more blood flow, you bring more LIFE FORCE and awareness into your sexual organs. With regular Yoni Squeezes, you activate your creative life force. You feel more alive, juicy, inspired and creative. You get out of your head, you get into your body, you feel more centred in yourself. More strongly connected to the earth, your deep desire , your inner compass. When you are squeezing your yoni , you are WAKING HER UP to more sensitivity.You are exercising your pelvic floor muscles for sexual health and also to enhance your capacity for pleasure ( both giving and receiving it). You also increase your capacity to circulate orgasmic energy around your body.You are reminding yourself that you are a sexual being. You are activating that aspect of yourself; you are sensually empowering yourself. Other ways to love your yoni Dance and Squeeze-When you dance, squeeze as you dance, imagine you are sucking up earth energy into your pelvis as you dance..go on..try it 🙂 Play with your Egg- A Yoni Egg is a crystal or jade egg you place in your yoni, it massages you on the inside, you can squeeze around your egg to increase the massage.Find out more hereButterfly pulses and big exhales-In the video i show you a slow squeeze, after a few of these, you can do some quick ones, like pulsing of your vagina muscles, like butterfly wings flickering..followed by a long exhale. Go on, try it now...Yoni clearing breath- Yep , you store stuff in there..deep conscious cleansing breaths can rid you of energetic debris that can accumulate in your sexual organs. This can be super powerful!!! I lead this in all my women workshops and offer this as a meditation in my Sacred Sensual Meditations. You can also just make up your own version of it , and do it when ever you need 'a clearing'. Please share with any sister you feel could benefit from this practice! Share0 Share +10 Tweet0 Enjoy sisters...Read More

The Red Wings continued their western Canada road trip tonight with a game against the Flames in Calgary. The goalies were Howard and Kiprusoff. Eaves was back in the lineup tonight after recovering from an upper body injury but Filppula was out. He's suffering from a sore groin that hopefully won't turn into a nagging problem.
The Flames played a very determined game. They were all over the Red Wings, outshooting them in every period. There were a lot of crazy goals at both ends of the ice. Most of the goals that Howard gave up were deflections of some sort. At the other end Kiprusoff faced some deflections as well but he also gave up a few that he should have stopped.
Rafalski scored his first two goals of the season tonight in what was a milestone game for him: the 800th game of his career. Eaves and Helm also scored for the Wings. Detroit never had the lead in this game and those four goals were only enough to tie the score and send the game to overtime.
There were no goals scored in the overtime even though the Flames were on the power play for most of the final two minutes if you include the time they spent with the extra man waiting for the delayed call.
In the shootout the Wings went with Hudler, Bertuzzi and Zetterberg. The Flames selected Tanguay, Hagman and Bourque. Kiprusoff stopped Hudler and Zetterberg but Bertuzzi got one past him. Howard stopped all three of the Flames shooters to give the Red Wings the win.
This was a tough win for the Wings; they had to really gut it out. With so many of their top guys out they were able to continue stepping it up and getting goals from other people. It was made even tougher by the loss of Stuart who was hit in the face by a shoulder from Kostopoulis in the third period. Stuart was down for a while and left the ice spitting blood. He did not return to the game. Kostopoulis was called for roughing and I'm sure the league will review the play to see if they should hand down a suspension for the head shot.
All things considered this was a good two points for the Wings against a Calgary team that played very hard.
This 5-4 win brings us to:
57 points

Somewhere along the way, my week turned into my weekend and just like that I was making a list of things to do. It looked something like this.
I know, impressive. Right?
I finished up the paint late Friday night, I gotta admit. It turned out nice. I loved the yellow- but it was time for a change. Really I needed something to brighten it up, I definitely have bright now.
I mowed most of the day yesterday, and had a late lunch with Philip. We drove down to the Marina and walked around a bit, for the first day of Fall… it sure was hot.
This morning I worked on my clothes for the week and went to the Dollar General for Little's poster board, of course while I was in there, I was looking for new makeup or a cool nail polish to rock this week. Well, I found one I liked and was shaking it up to get a better idea of the shade… and this happened.
Whew. If you could have seen the lack of happiness on my face right at this moment. The freaking top came off in my hand and the polish went flying and of course the DG has concrete floors now so. The topless bottle would have been bad enough, but ohhh nooooo. The damn bottle shattered. Anyway, I had nail polish from toe up and was not impressed. I thought I had ruined my jeans, and my shoes had nail polish all over them. I had to walk to find someone to come and help me, so there's was a nailpolish trail to the nearest associate, that sucked. Ugh. Luckily, I only had a few spots on the cuff part of my jeans, and I cleaned up my t straps with nail polish remover and left them outside to air out. I hope the sweet lady working at the DG was able to get it off of the floor. Double ugh.
Anyway, I used The Wants palette from The Emily Edit and wanted to show you this super Fall look I came up with today.
I started out with a Cheer and placed it just over my natural crease. I have super hooded eyes, so doing just the teeniest curve of shadow above my crease, lets just a little of that shade peek thru when my eyes are open. I like that. From there, I placed Dues Paid into my real crease and blended it out. Then on a smaller, yet still fluffy brush, I put a small amount of Pi Phi in the outer part of my crease. I packed this shadow along with Family on the outer half of my lid. I used a flat brush to pack Top Story on the inner half. I highlighted my brow bone and inner corner with The Cream, and moved on to my lower lash line. I smoked Pi Phi along my lower lash line and went in a little tighter and closer to my actual lashes with Family. I finished my look with mascara and tadaaaaaaa.
This is less liner and more gloss. It's kinda hard to manage worn like this. But the shade is beautiful.
Instant Fall feels.
Mini Review: I have really been enjoying The Emily Edit palettes. I find myself reaching for them during the week when I don't really have a lot of time to be experimental. That says a lot. The shadows are creamy and blendable, and you don't have to wear a primer to make the shades last, or pop. I do my makeup really early in the morning, sometimes around 6, sometimes around 5, and when I get home in the evenings, I can still see shadow. Consistently. With primer or not. I can get a range of looks from one palette and have a finished look without grabbing for something else and that makes me happy too.
In other news: Before I busted the nail polish all over the floor and had a mean face moment, I picked up this little guy from the L A Colors display. It's a pretty one, I might have to practice keeping it in the lines, but damn. It was only $2.00! Look at THAT!
This is with more liner and less gloss. I like it the best worn like this.
LA Colors, Metal to the Max Metallic Lip Gloss in the shade Brilliant and I lined my lips with Wet nWild Gel Lip Liner in Gone Burgundy. (Yes. I went back and got 3 more.) Whew, girl. Can't get more Fall than that.
Have you guys tried any of these lip glosses? Are there other shades I can't live without?

Koizumi, a son of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, will be named as environment minister, the source said. The 38-year-old has been increasingly in the news since making a surprise announcement last month at the prime minister's office of his marriage to TV personality Christel Takigawa.
The high-profile addition to the Cabinet lineup is apparently aimed at lifting approval rates following the first major overhaul in about a year that would otherwise see familiar faces and Abe's allies with similar political views filling key posts.
With most of the current members set to be reshuffled, the makeup of Abe's new Cabinet includes Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasutoshi Nishimura as economic revitalization minister, according to the sources. Nishimura will be put in charge of social security reform, one of Abe's major policy agendas.
Isshu Sugawara, a ruling party lawmaker who once served as a senior vice finance minister, is tipped to become the next trade minister amid a bilateral dispute with South Korea over Japan's tighter export controls.

Solving Sponsorships with Big Data
• How does your smart-tv commercial translate to sales?
• What do consumers spend offline after seeing an ad online?

Burning Man occupies a special place in the hearts of many EDM lovers as the true mecca of electronic music, togetherness, and free expression. Even the most mainstream artists can find bliss there, with artists like Above & Beyond finding a path all the way out of their comfort zone with a 2014 Robot Heart Yoga Set. Robot Heart enthusiasts should recognize another name: ATISH.
Known for his euphoric, deep sets, ATISH is a joyful outsider, regularly dropping quotes like "What if we only played dance music that we thought *wasn't* appropriate for a typical club night?" His underground, humble appeal has made him a mainstay at Robot Heart and in the hearts of Burning Man attendees. Now he's visiting Seattle, courtesy of Mafi Events and Grounded.
From the ATISH event page, "Mafi events and Grounded promote a safe loving space for people from all walks of life to connect, participate, and express themselves as part of the Seattle creative community. Event organizers strive to cultivate and maintain this standard of mutually respectful behavior, so please be mindful of staff, security, bartenders, artists, and other attendees at all times."
"Those who exhibit racist, sexist, homophobic, trans-phobic, ableist, ageist, and/or physically/sexually/verbally aggressive behavior will potentially be bounced for the night, barred from future events, and/or have legal charges filed against them. If you find yourself the target of any of these aggressive behaviors please alert event staff/security immediately and they will assist you with whatever you need. Love and light!"
If you're interested in a show that's decidedly unlike the mainstream (with an all-inclusive atmosphere), we highly recommend a visit to LeftJet to see ATISH's 3-hour set. You'll also get opening sets by Foofou, Trinitron, and Michael Manahan. Stay up until 5am and get lost in some vibes this weekend.

Graphic Design & Branding
Professional graphic design is about more than professionally-made and high-quality images. It's about your church telling its story and inviting others to share in that journey.
A clear and beautiful logo can create a connection between the parish and someone viewing your website before they even step foot in the church. A logo must speak to the mission and identity of your parish. It must convey the beauty, goodness, and truth of the message that it represents.

Utilizing webforms and automated communications, our database systems allows your website to communicate directly with your database, help parish staff to manage information in ways traditional parish databases are unable to, and automate email communications in ways other communications platforms are unable to.

The Gonzaga team in the Four Nations Chess League celebatrted St Patrrick's Day in style today. They made an important step towards qualifying for the top division in the 2019/2020 by winning their round 8 match 5.5-2.5 against the seniors team Spirit of Atticus A.
In rounds 1-7 the teams in Division 2 play separate pools supposedly of equal strength. Then in rounds 8-11 the top four in A meet the top four in B with scores against teams already played carried forward.
Things didn't look so good yesterday when, in round 7 of Pool B, Gonzaga were beaten by Cambridge University but it turned out that this was just good enough for them to finish fourth in their pool and so qualify for Pool C (which fights for promotion) rather than Pool D (which decides relegation).
As it happens, Gonzaga had beaten one of the teams ahead of them and today they beat the team that had headed Pool A. So they have two wins and two losses going forward.
In fact today all the teams that came from Pool B defeated their opponents from the former Pool A, in which Spirit of Atticus had been convincing winners. This suggests that the initial pools were not so balanced after all. Gonzaga will have a good chance of winning their last three matches on the May bank holiday weekend to get promoted, but of course all teams are likely to bring their maximum squads for those final rounds so it will be down to good play when it matters. If they do get promoted, Gonzaga will need to include a female player in all rounds next season; in Division 2 it's either a female or an under-18 player required.
Results are at http://www.4nclresults.co.uk/2018-19/4ncl/8/2c/export/
The team this weekend was headed by IM Gavin Wall and FMs Conor O'Donnell and Henry Li, also with two former Trinity captains, Colin Menzies and Anthony Bourached. The others playing this weekend were Killian Delaney, Gordon Freeman and Peter Carroll (who drew with veteran WGM Sheila Jackson today).

Add Rhodium Plating to White Gold • Electroplating
White gold is the ideal practical white metal due to its affordability and durability.
White Gold has nickel or palladium added to it buy only a certain amount to allow it to stay at the desired purtiy. White Gold is slightly yellowish-pinkish whereas Silver, Platinum and Palladium are genuine white metals that are use in fine jewellery manufacturing. Silver is a soft metal and Plantinum is heavy and expensive and not always the ideal solution for customers who want a white-coloured peice of jewellery that is durable and affordable.
White gold is more practical due to its affordability and durability and is used for a wide array of jewellery. Adding Rhodium to White Gold or "electroplating" as it is called, will leave a protective coating about the thickness of a micron and will also enhance the durability of the particular piece. Rhodium plating will need to be reapplied within 1-3 years as eventually it will wear off, especially on the part which receives the most wear.
Some Silver is also Rhodium plated to prevent tarnishing but it is not cost effective to have it replaced due to the lower price of Silver.
White Gold is not recommended for anyone who has a sensitivity to nickel and anyone who has this issue will find that once the Rhodium wears off, they will develop a reaction to the nickel where the metal is exposed to this skin. In this case, Platinum is recommended as it is hypoallergenic and does not require Rhodium plating.

Pastor Carl Lentz continues preaching on the worthy fight for a life of faith. Carl unpacks Luke 9 and shares some powerful words about laying down our own agendas to take up the way of the cross. To fight this worthy fight, we need a conviction to stand on, people to lean on and a plan to follow.
Pastor Carl Lentz continues with the third message in his "I Will Fight" series. Life is a fight and if we are gaining ground, then the enemy is losing ground. Carl asks us, once we find the right things in life to fight for, are we willing to fight for them?
Pastor Carl Lentz passionately preaches on our direction in life. This is a sermon to ensure people of where they're headed and to inspire them to stay the path. God is most concerned with us knowing that HE is the destination and we are on the journey to draw closer to him.
Pastor Carl Lentz challenges us with the question, "How would you sum up your relationship with Jesus in one sentence?" He continues to inspire us not to lose our grateful spirit. Carl uses Luke 17 to encourage us around the strength of gratitude.

Review: Foals finish epic journey with a second CD this year
Foals, "Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 2" (Warner Bros.)
When the last album from indie-pop art rockers Foals ended, things sounded grim. There were dead foxes and burning hedges and rain. Frontman Yannis Philippakis was on his knees.
Things seem a little more hopeful on their new album, "Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 2," which comes out seven months after the first part. Taken together, these batch of songs prove Foals to be at the top of their game, making complex, brilliant music.
"Part 1" came out in March, giving us the super tracks "Exits," ''In Degrees" and "On the Luna." If that album was often new wave-y and computer-assisted, the second part is much harder and guitar-driven, with the bombastic, hyper-masculine "Black Bull" almost veering into thrash.
The band this time explores elements in nature - fire, earth, sea and sky. The 10-track album kicks off with the instrumental "Red Desert" (who else could get away with starting a CD with an instrumental?) and then moves into "The Runner," one of the band's best and an exhortation to keep fighting. Philippakis is no longer on his knees.
In fact, there's defiance built into the second part. "I will not be undone," Philippakis sings in "Like Lightning." And on "10,000 Feet," he vows to "burn all the liars." There are thematic connections between the two album parts - crows and the surf echo throughout - but they scratch different musical itches.
It gets progressively proggy by the end, eventually ending with the bold, spacey and cinematic "Neptune," which clocks in at more than 10 minutes. (Who else is doing 10-minute songs?)
"It's time to go," Philippakis sings and his band seems to have found a way out of this existential horror, an escape they sought in "Exit" from "Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 1." The snag? It may be in outer space, judging from the title. To which we say: Take us with you.

Well, I've got GOOD news and I've got BAD news. I'll give you the GOOD news first!
It's Tuesday!!! So I've got some wonderful cards to show you from Meljen's Design Team!! They are all so awesome!
Now for the BAD news. My computer is still "shot", not working, nada!! The ONLY thing I can do is get on the internet. My hard drive is "non accessible" and so are all of my Windows programs, files, etc. So I haven't been able to post any new pictures, cards, or play along with our wonderful Meljen's Design Team. {{sigh}}
I've been so sad. I did look at new computers yesterday. And I narrowed down to 2 computers. I now just need the "go ahead" from hubby that we can afford a new computer. You see, my oldest got really sick at the beginning of December, so we have stacking medical bills. Not fun! Thank God he will be fine, but now to dish out the $$ for tests. :(
So please bare with me...I've been working on some super cute Valentine's projects and cannot wait to share them with you!!!
For now...here's some inspiration from Meljen's Designs DT Blog.

And please send good thoughts my way that I may get a NEW computer VERY, VERY soon!!! Thank you!!!

OBJECTIVES A role for Klebsiella pneumoniaein ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has been suggested because faecal carriage of Klebsiella and serum Klebsiella specific antibodies may be increased in this disease. This study has extended the earlier findings by comparing Klebsiella specific serum IgA class antibodies with inflammatory changes in the gut.
METHODS IgA antibodies to K pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Proteus mirabilis in serum samples of 25 patients with AS, of eight control patients, and of 100 healthy blood donors were measured by enzyme immunoassay. Gut inflammation of the patients was studied by ileocolonoscopy.
RESULTS Increased IgA antibody concentrations toK pneumoniae associated with gut inflammation in patients with axial form of AS. Such association was not seen in patients with peripheral form of AS.
CONCLUSIONS These findings may provide further evidence for the role of K pneumoniae in the pathogenesis of AS. However, at least some of the patients with axial AS without gut inflammation, as well as patients with peripheral AS did not have increased K pneumoniae antibody concentrations, which may be regarded as evidence against the direct role of K pneumoniae in the pathogenesis. The aetiopathogenetic mechanisms in the axial and peripheral form of AS may be different.
- ankylosing spondylitis
- antibodies
- Klebsiella pneumoniae
- enzyme immunoassay
- gut
- mucosa.
Statistics from Altmetric.com
The aetiology of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is still unknown but the Gram negative microorganism Klebsiella pneumoniaehas been suggested to play an important part in the pathogenesis,1-4 although this association between Klebsiella and AS is still a subject of controversy.5 A high frequency of inflammatory changes6 7 and increased permeability of the gut,8 as well as high serum concentrations of total IgA and secretory IgA support the role of gut and mucosal immune defence mechanisms. Furthermore, AS can be divided into two forms: (a) patients who have pure axial form of the disease and (b) patients with not only axial, but also peripheral joint arthritides. There have been suggestions for different aetiopathogenetic mechanisms for these two forms.3 For example, ileocolonoscopic differences have been reported between patients with axial and peripheral form of AS.6 7 In addition, sulphasalazine, a drug used to treat inflammatory bowel disease, seems to be especially effective in patients with the peripheral type of AS.9 We have extended the earlier findings by comparing Klebsiella specific serum IgA class antibodies with inflammatory changes in the gut in patients with axial and peripheral types of AS.
Twenty five patients with AS (only axial form, 14; also peripheral arthritides, 11; with mean (SD) duration of disease 7.1 (4.9) and 6.3 (5.3) years, respectively) and, as controls, eight patients with miscellaneous rheumatic diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, 3; low back pain, 3; fibromyalgia, 1; psoriatic arthritis, 1), and 100 healthy blood donors were studied.6 In patients with axial and peripheral AS the mean (range) erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESR) were 36 (5-80) and 47 (6-86) mm/h, respectively; the corresponding figures for C reactive protein (CRP) were 27 (0-103) and 41 (0-160). The ESR and CRP values for control patients were 39 (2-88) and 18 (2-57). Of the AS patients all 23 tested were HLA-B27 positive; of the control patients three were HLA-B27 positive. Eleven (79%) of the patients with axial AS, nine (82%) of the patients with peripheral AS, and six (75%) of the control patients received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs within one month before the ileocolonoscopy. Ileocolonoscopies were performed for patients as described earlier6 for a clinical indication of silent gut inflammation. Patients with previously diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease or with chronic diarrhoea were excluded from the study. Of the AS patients, eight were identified as having inflammation in ileum (four patients with axial and four with peripheral form of AS), nine in colon (three with axial and six with peripheral form of AS), and 14 in ileum or in colon (six with axial and eight with peripheral form of AS). Thirteen patients (eight with axial and five with peripheral form of AS) were identified as having chronic inflammation in the gut. Ten patients (six with axial form and four with peripheral form of AS) had possible or definite Crohn's disease.6 In control patients with other rheumatic diseases the endoscopic findings were normal, except for one patient with mild inflammation in colon. IgA class serum antibodies against K pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Proteus mirabilis were measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) as described earlier.2 3 Briefly, the polystyrene microtitre plates (Nunc, Roskilde, Denmark) were coated with sodium dodecyl sulphate extracts of the bacteria in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) overnight at 37°C. The plates were saturated with 1% normal sheep serum in PBS (NSS-PBS). Patient serum samples at 1:250 dilution were incubated on the plates for two hours at 37°C. Thereafter, alkaline phosphatase conjugated swine antihuman IgA (Orion Diagnostica, Espoo, Finland), diluted 1:250, was incubated on the plates overnight at room temperature. Fresh p-nitrophenyl phosphate in diethanolamine-MgCl2-buffer solution (1 mg/ml; Orion Diagnostica) was added, incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C, and the reaction stopped with 1 M sodium hydroxide. The optical density was measured with a Titertek Multiscan Photometer (Labsystems, Helsinki, Finland) at a wavelength of 405 nm. Antibody concentrations were expressed as enzyme immunoassay units (EIU): 1 EIU is 1/100 of the corresponding antibody concentration in the positive reference serum.
The median concentrations of antibodies in different groups were compared with the Mann-Whitney test.
Similar to earlier findings1–4 the AS patients had higher IgA class serum antibody concentrations against K pneumoniae when compared with the healthy controls (mean (SD) EIU: 20.9 (27.0) and 12.3 (11.4), respectively; p < 0.05). When the patients were grouped as having either axial or peripheral type of AS, this increase was seen only in patients with axial type of the disease (28.7 (33.2); p<0.001). No statistically significant increases were seen in the IgA antibody values against E coli or P mirabilis in the AS patients.
When K pneumoniae specific serum antibody concentrations were analysed in relation to ileo- colonoscopic findings, the patients with axial AS and gut inflammation always had higher average Klebsiella specific IgA class antibody values when compared with the patients without these gut lesions and with the control groups (fig 1). When the Klebsiella antibody concentrations were analysed in patients with peripheral form of AS, no clear picture emerged (fig 2). The Klebsiella antibody values were sometimes even higher (not statistically significant) in patients without a gut inflammation when compared with those with that same type of gut inflammation.
The association between the increased Klebsiella specific IgA class antibody concentrations and gut inflammation in AS patients with pure axial form of the disease seemed to be specific for K pneumoniae, as no such increases were seen in the P mirabilis specific antibody concentrations in patients with gut lesions, and only patients with inflammation in colon had increased antibody concentration to E coli (p<0.05) when compared with the blood donors.
Interestingly, the patients with peripheral type of AS and inflammation in ileum (p<0.01), chronic inflammation (p<0.05) or inflammation in ileum or colon (p<0.05) had significantly lower antibody values toE coli than blood donors.
Our results show that the Klebsiella specific IgA class serum antibody concentrations are increased and associated with gut inflammation, but only in patients with pure axial AS. This is logical as Klebsiella bacteria and their structures may pass into circulation more easily and in larger amounts through the inflamed mucosa to stimulate systemic immune responses. K pneumoniae shares short sequence with the major histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27,10 which is closely associated with AS. Such mimicking could lead to unwanted cross reactivity (autoimmunity) or ineffective clearance (inappropriate tolerance) and thus to changed immune responses10 and consequently to the persistence of bacterial structures in the body as shown to be the case in another HLA-B27 associated disease, reactive arthritis.11 12However, mechanisms determining specificity of this phenomenon (association of increased enterobacterial antibody values with inflammation in the gut) primarily to Klebsiella and only to the pure axial form of AS are unknown and hence further studies and with a larger number of patients are warranted.
These findings may provide further evidence for the role of K pneumoniae in the pathogenesis of AS. However, many of the patients with pure axial AS with and without gut inflammation, as well as patients with peripheral AS did not have increased K pneumoniae antibody values, which may be regarded as an evidence against the direct role of K pneumoniae in the pathogenesis. The finding of increased antibody concentration toE coli in patients with inflammation in colon may have been caused by the close similarity of certain antigens of these microbes. The significantly lower antibody concentrations againstE coli in patients with peripheral AS when compared with the blood donors is difficult to interpret, but this is another dissimilarity between axial and peripheral forms of AS. Furthermore, as suggested already in the 1900s13 and as continuously discussed today, the aetiopathogenetic mechanisms in the axial and peripheral form of AS may be different.

We all know the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer — but the inequality gap may be widening faster than you think. Within two years, the top 1% will have more wealth than the remaining 99% of people on the planet, a new study says.
Just in time for the billionaire-and-politician get-together in Davos, Switzerland, Oxfam's report on Monday lays out the increasing concentration of global wealth among a small elite.
This first chart, based on Credit Suisse Data from 2000-2014, shows how the bottom 99% has been losing wealth over the past decade or so, and the top 1% has been gaining:
"In 2014, the richest 1% of people in the world owned 48% of global wealth, leaving just 52% to be shared between the other 99% of adults on the planet," said development organization Oxfam in its report. Nearly all of that remainder is owned by people in the richest 20%, and just 5.5% goes to 80% of the world's population.
And then here's the depressing kicker: "If this trend continues, of an increasing wealth share to the richest, the top 1% will have more wealth than the remaining 99% of the people in just two years … with the wealth share of the top 1% exceeding 50% by 2016," said Oxfam.
Here's the chart on that:
The most commonly cited source of wealth for the rich is a Wall Street connection, said Oxfam.
Among the "predominantly male and greying" elite who've made money from the financial sector is Berkshire Hathaway BRK.B, +1.10% BRK.A, +0.95% chief Warren Buffett, whose pile increased 9% between 2013 and 2014 to $58.2 billion. He's at the top, followed by Bloomberg LP founder Michael Bloomberg, worth $33 billion — a 22% gain on the previous year. Carl Icahn is third with a tally of $24.5 billion, up 23%.
On November, Oxfam told us that the members of the "world's richest" club make half-a-million bucks per minute, and that it would take Microsoft MSFT, +1.67% founder Bill Gates 218 years to spend all its wealth.
Hammering its point home a year ago, Oxfam told us that the wealth of the 85 richest people around the world was equal to the assets held by half the world's population. That report was released ahead of the 2014 edition of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
In 2010, it took 388 billionaires to equal the wealth of the bottom half of the world's population. Last year, that figure was down to just 80, said Oxfam. In other words, 3.5 billion people together owned the same amount as 80 wealthy people. Here's the chart that lays that out:

Almost 2 weeks into October and it is just now beginning to feel like fall around here. And one of my favorite fall time traditions is apple picking in Oak Glen with my mom and sister. Now, what to do with this abundance of apples? I say, drench 'em in caramel and chocolate! I used the apples from Oak Glen which are much smaller than regular store bought. This recipe makes enough caramel to double coat about 8 regular large granny smith apples.
The first thing you need to do is prep your apples. Wash and remove any waxy layer from the apples (of store bought). The wax will prevent the caramel from sticking. Remove apple stems and replace with your stick of choice. Twigs, skewers, popsicle sticks, chopsticks. You can pretty much use anything you've got handy.
Have a parchment lined tray ready to place the dipped apples on.
For the Vegan Caramel
1 cup Earth Balance vegan butter
2 cups organic cane sugar
2 cups soy or almond milk
1 cup organic corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine all ingredients except for the vanilla. Stir to combine and set over medium high heat. When mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium low. Cook until temperature reads 245 degrees on a candy thermometer. You can also check the old fashioned way. After about 10 minutes, drop a bit of the caramel into ice cold water. It should be soft enough to chew but firm enough to form a ball and keep its shape. Once you reach this point, remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
Transfer caramel to a large glass measuring cup. Let sit for about 3 minutes to cool slightly.
Carefully dip each apple in to the caramel and place on parchment. Let sit for a few minutes and dip again. Let sit for about 20 minutes.
For the Chocolate
1/2 cup dark chocolate
2 teaspoons coconut oil
1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
Microwave the dark chocolate in 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is melted. Add the coconut oil. Dip 1/2 of each caramel apple into the dark chocolate. Sprinkle the chocolate with chopped pistachios. Set on parchment to firm up completely.

I have just made plans for my next trip. I will be headed to Jalisco next month to witness the wild event known at Ruta Vallarta. I will be riding with my buddy Pepe Diaz, he sent me the invitation and is arranging a bike for the trip. It will be two days of riding from Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta on bikes, quads and side by sides. It looks like it should be interesting to say the very least.

Chairman of the HCMC People's Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong has signed a decision to approve a plan to invest VND4,260 billion (US$187 million) in 115 projects which will be built by 2020 at the latest.
|Secretary of the HCMC Party Committee Dinh La Thang (R) talking to a man while visiting Can Gio district in April 2016 (Photo: SGGP)
Of the total funds, VND3,960 billion will come from the city budget while the remaining fund will be raised from other sources.
According to the decision, investors are responsible for making feasibility study reports in line with the policy and submitting the reports to authorized agencies to decide investment.
The Department of Planning and Investment is in charge of inspecting and supervising the implementation of the projects and report to the city People's Committee.
Of the 115, 37 projects are in the education and training field with the total capital of VND1,192 billion. The most noticeable one is to upgrade Thanh An secondary and high school in Thanh An island commune, Can Gio district.
The new school comprising six classrooms, function rooms and auxiliary items will be built at the total cost of VND44.8 billion in 2017-2018.
The idea of the new school was formed during a visit to the island of secretary of the city Party Committee Dinh La Thang last April. Witnessing difficult study conditions of local students, he instructed Can Gio district to build a new school there.
Besides the above, there are six health projects; one science and technology; 14 culture, sport and social projects; nine environment, 11 traffic and three agriculture.

Revelation 11:3-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. 6 These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

Wilted SaladJuly 11, 2011
We are big fans of bacon. We love it as it is. We love it as a side. We love it baked into things. As a result, we always have bacon grease on hand. I know that sounds strange, but really it isn't. I keep the grease in the fridge and use it to fry things in.
I fry green beans in the grease. Or how about some pierogi? Why not some haluski,? I'm sure I'm not the only one that cooks my hash browns in the grease. I know I use the bacon grease for more than that, but right now I'm at a loss. The flavor from the grease makes everything better.
I came across a great recipe last week that reminded me of spinach salad when I was a girl. My mother made it a few times and you add the bacon grease to it to wilt the spinach.
Someone at work was talking about how they always had wilted salad when they were young. I knew that I had to make it. It seemed that since the recipe looked so good, I had the ingredients and someone I knew talked about it, it needed to be made.
I made this wonderful salad to accompany some awesome grilled italian sausage. My chive is starting to really come in nicely so I also added some that. I love fresh chives.
I'm not using any amounts with this recipe, but I can tell you that I made enough for my husband to have two helpings. I used the end of one head of romaine and a small portion of a new one.
- Romaine Lettuce, washed and coarsely chopped
- Green Onion, chopped
- Chive, chopped
- Course Sea Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Bacon Grease
Make sure the lettuce is dry, and add the lettuce, onion, chive, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Heat the bacon grease and pour over the lettuce. You just want enough grease to coat the lettuce. You really don't want the lettuce to be swimming in the grease. Toss and serve.
This salad is so simple and easy. The flavor of the salt and the grease pair well with the lettuce. Meeshie really loved this salad.
Thanks Sheila for showing me this one and reminding me why I love summer cooking!

Prince of Tennis and Loups-Garous' Production Studio Filed for Bankruptcy
Production studio Trans Arts has filed for bankruptcy. It originally worked on Prince of Tennis' (Tennis no Oujisama) first series, Tennis no Oujisama: Atobe Kara no Okurimono movie, Loups-Garous, Chocolate Underground, Kemono no Souja Erin and a lot more anime projects.
The information was released by the official website of Japan's Kanpou newspaper.
Although it has been alive for more than 40 years, since1967, and with the same director (founder Mamoru Kuroki), the studio has been struggling recently. Its biggest project, Prince of Tennis (Tennis no Oujisama) was given up in a way since Production I.G. and M.S.C. both produced the next installments in the franchise.

We are quickly approaching January 2021 and publication of the 5th edition of the CSA Z462 Workplace electrical safety Standard. This is good news for Canada as we continue to evolve in our identification and management of the electrical hazards of arc flash and shock.
But as I have quoted in the past, we need to ensure we are getting it right, and there is still a lot of work to be done. Most of the focus has been on arc flash and I am concerned that the electric shock hazard has been neglected.

Dirs: Jon Erwin, Andrew Erwin. US. 2014. 99mins
Stressed suburban parents and cutely mischievous kids drive the chaotic goings on in Moms' Night Out, a frenetic but none too original comedy with a vaguely religious theme and a cast of mostly TV names. Probably best suited to home viewing, this latest offering from Sony's inspirational film division Affirm will need a significant promotional push if it is to make a mark theatrically.
Playing out like a squeaky-clean female version of The Hangover.
Sony's TriStar label is giving the film a wide US release on May 9, to tie in with the US celebration of Mother's Day. The maternal marketing angle might bring in a core female audience but laying claim to the faith-based audience - which recently turned Affirm's Heaven Is For Real into a domestic hit - could be harder, given the cast and limited religious content. International prospects appear weak.
Playing out like a squeaky-clean female version of The Hangover, the film turns around Allyson (Sarah Drew from TV soap Grey's Anatomy), a loving but harried young mother who resolves to get away from it all for a night out with friends Sondra (Patricia Heaton, from Everybody Loves Raymond) and Izzy (Andrea Logan White). Plans quickly go awry, of course, and the women end up on the trail of another mother's mislaid baby. Meanwhile, Allyson's husband (Lord Of The Rings' Sean Astin) and the other dads have their own misadventures trying to keep the kids under control.
Sibling writer-directors Jon and Andrew Erwin (whose previous feature was 2011 abortion-themed drama October Baby) give Moms a lively feel and a well-crafted look. But they're a bit too keen on fancy storytelling techniques - voice over, split screen, on-screen graphics - and they seriously overstuff the plot with minor characters (including one played by country music star Trace Adkins) and incidental scenes that aren't in themselves particularly effective and that stop the film developing much of a dramatic arc.
Drew and Heaton both give solid performances but the entire cast is prone to overplaying the comedy, which only serves to show up the weakness of the material.
Religion only comes into the picture during the handful of serious scenes in which Allyson voices doubts about her parenting skills, doubts that are allayed by Heaton's pastor's wife and other characters.

The woman pictured in the middle, was arrested after she accidentally injured six people including three children when her car (bottom right) careered out of control in a field full of hundreds of Muslims who had been celebrating the end of Ramadan.
Posted by Naijaxtreme
Bystanders(left), including a man with a bleeding shoulder,(top right) fled in horror as the vehicle sped around a field packed with 300 to 400 people who had celebrated Eid at nearby Newcastle Central Mosque.
Two children and one adult remain in intensive care after the incident at Westgate Community College.
Witnesses said the driver, a 42-year-old Muslim woman, had got into her car on a grass verge at 9.14am after attending prayers when she 'pressed the gas rather than the break' and sped into the crowds.
The woman was arrested although police said the incident is not terror related. It comes just a week after suspected terrorist Darren Osborne, 47, deliberately drove into worshippers outside Finsbury Park Mosque in London.
Witness Uman Nyanzi said: 'It was a complete freak accident. She was praying with us just before this all happened. She was in the car and she was speaking to someone literally just seconds before the accident. To me it looked like she pressed the gas instead of the brake and she lost control.
The car started spinning. It was quite unbelievable. Someone had to jump in the car and pull the handbrake up to make it stop.
The first person it knocked was a little boy and he was bleeding really heavily from his shoulder. His mother was hysterical and very distressed.'
