Cougar Basketball is new passion for Norwegian student
By Ashlyn Hodak
As the USF Cougars head to the Pentagon this Sunday, March 3 at 12 p.m., talk spins on how the men's basketball team will compete. Junior William Lybaek, has a lot to say. "Making the playoffs is great, this past Wednesday the team beat Minot State by 40 points." Lybaek recalls losing to Minot state just before regular season ended. "We got back at them this past game," he said proudly. The team is confident they can work hard Sunday and get the win against Northern State.
Even though this is Lybaek's first year on the USF Men's basketball team, he has confidence. "I knew we would make it to the playoffs because of the talent on the team." The Cougars ranked high coming into the season, so the coaches, team, and fans expected the men to do well.
Lybaek is originally from Trondheim, Norway and says, "Basketball isn't particularly a big sport back home." Following basketball in America is huge, getting consistently more attention in the media as well as bigger crowds. "Being a member of the Cougar basketball team has been great," says Lybaek, he loves the guys and they are all a tight knit team with everyone getting along.
Having the great coaches the team has, he loves the opportunity to be part of the Cougars. Lybaek is most excited to see how far they can make it, believes they can win the Northern Sun, and make it to the end.

Super Cars (Nintendo NES, 1991)
In Box is out of stock!
|Super Cars is a top-view racing game from Gremlin Interactive, who later produced the Lotus series of games. Stylistically, the game is influenced by Super Sprint.
There are 9 tracks at each of the 4 difficulty levels, which can be raced in any order (although the last track you race is made harder than usual). In the races you win money, which can be spent on temporary handling and power upgrades, plus armour plating and front/rear shooting missiles that can knock out other racers. The player must finish in the top 3 of each race to progress - initially there are 4 computer opponents, but more are added as you progress through the game.
The car can be upgraded throughout the game via the shop section. The player is given an initial price, but also a number of options of things to say to the salesman - with the right combination, the price will drop. It was followed by Super Cars II in 1991.
Three cars are available for purchase during the game, the Taraco Neoroder Turbo, the Vaug Interceptor Turbo and the Retron Parsec Turbo. Each appears to be based on a real car of the time with the Retron Parsec Turbo being based on the Cizeta-Moroder V16T, the Vaug Interceptor based on the Honda NSX and the Taraco Neoroder based on the Alfa Romeo SZ but with some slight changes. This is in slight contrast to the box art, where the blue "starter" car (Taraco) instead more closely resembles a contemporary European Ford Fiesta or Escort Cosworth convertible. The Retron is also portrayed differently on the box art, where it is a Lamborghini Countach instead of a Cizeta.

Savage Named MIAA Defensive Player of the Week
JEFFERSON CITY -- After intercepting three passes in two different stadiums, Lincoln's Maurkice Savage was selected as one of the MIAA's Football Players of the Week on Monday. He was one of three MIAA players honored this week in a vote by a select panel of conference sports information personnel.
Savage, a freshman defensive back, was named the league's defensive player of the week after helping the Blue Tigers defeat Nebraska-Kearney, 34-27, for LU's first victory of the season last Saturday. Savage made seven unassisted tackles in the win, tying for the team high, and also broke up two passes.
In a game that featured a weather delay that lasted longer than the game itself and that was played in two different venues, Savage's biggest contributions were his interceptions, all three of which came in the red zone. In the first half of the contest, played at Dwight T. Reed, Savage ended the Lopers' first drive by picking off a pass at the LU 20. After the game was moved to Jefferson City High School following a three-hour, 35 minute lightning delay, Savage picked off passes at the Lincoln five and one-yard lines, with the latter ending UNK's final drive with 23-seconds left in the game.
The win, Lincoln's first conference victory since rejoining the MIAA in 2011, was also the first against a current member of the league since an 18-17 win over Northwest Missouri in 1988. It was also the first win over an MIAA opponent since LU defeated Missouri-Rolla, an MIAA member from 1935-2005, 21-14 in 1989, the Blue Tigers' final season in the league before last year.
Savage is the first Lincoln player to claim one of the three weekly football honors since LU rejoined the MIAA. He joins Central Missouri's Colter Smith, the league's offensive player of the week, and Northwest Missouri's Kyle Goodburn, the special teams player of the week, as this week's honorees.
The Blue Tigers (1-6, 1-6 MIAA) will continue their 2012 campaign next Saturday with a trip to Hays, Kan. to play Fort Hays State. That game, scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. CT, will be the MIAA Network's Game of the Week and will be televised in select markets.

The increase in requirement of sperm donation over recent years can be ascribed primarily to the changing landscape of those wishing to create a family. Traditional scenarios would have involved a heterosexual couple who required donated sperm to avoid passing on a genetic disease or because sperm numbers or quality were too poor for natural or assisted, conception. The need for this service has steadily increased with the changing demographic of people approaching fertility clinics such as female same sex couples and women wishing to conceive as a single parent. The latest available statistics show that there has been a 24% increase in the last seven years in the number of same sex female couples requiring treatment with donor sperm, for example. The need for this service has not gone unanswered as we see many on-line agencies springing up, where for a small fee may select donor sperm to use in a home insemination kit based on a 'dating agency' set of credentials. These practices are clearly completely unregulated and carry huge risks.
Over 20% of donated sperm used in UK fertility treatment is now imported from abroad. Some clinics report waiting lists of up to two years; longer if a non-Caucasian donor is sought. Why is there such a shortage of UK donors? Primarily this is thought to be due to the removal of donor anonymity whereby after a change in the law, donor-conceived children at the age of 18 could find out identifying details about their donors. Although there would be no financial or legal responsibility to the child, for many, this factor may have deterred donation.
So what are we looking for in a successful sperm donor? Donors should be aged between 18-41 and preferably have proven fertility. What does donation entail? Sperm donors must have blood and chromosome screening tests for infectious disease and heritable disease. As well as these selection criteria being met, the sperm sample provided must be of a suitable quality to be accepted by the laboratory in terms of sperm number and motility. The sample must also be 'test frozen' to ensure that it can withstand the process of freezing and being stored for treatment. On average, we ask for five to ten samples over a period of months. Donors are then matched to recipients based on height, build, eye colour, hair colour and ethnicity. CARE Fertility encourages sperm donation in all of its seven UK clinics.

Capitol Hill this week: Shortlines discuss value and needsWritten by Mischa Wanek-Libman, editor
The infrastructure needs and value brought by the shortline railroads in the United States were the topic of testimony given at two Congressional hearings this week.
On March 13, American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) Senior Vice President of Safety and Regulatory Policy Jo Strang encouraged funding practices that would allow for the nation's 600 non-Class 1 railroads to participate in an infrastructure package.
She noted several federal funding options that could benefit smaller railroads including the success of the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery program and explained that ASLRRA would be supportive of expanding the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America grant program with a suggestion to increase the small project component, as well as a removal of non-highway spending limits. Strang also touched on the potential the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement grants could hold for shortlines and explained that the Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing loan program could yield results, but only with changes to address the small business nature of shortlines.
Strang touched on the importance of the shortline tax credit, also known as 45G, which allows shortline railroads to claim a credit for infrastructure work performed.
Strang's testimony was before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation's Subcommittee on Surface Transportation and Merchant Marine Infrastructure, Safety and Security, where she urged subcommittee members to bring the shortline tax credit message to their Senate colleagues as the subject of infrastructure is addressed.
"The credit has been a major factor in maximizing infrastructure investment, both by the short lines and by their shippers that are the beneficiaries of the improvements. It is simple to administer, it targets the money on the projects that yield the highest benefit, and it makes railroads safer. We believe making the credit permanent is the most important thing Congress can do to help short line railroads rebuild and improve their portion of America's infrastructure," said Strang.
On March 14, on the opposite side of the Hill, ASLRRA Chair and President of Framrail Judy Petry took up a similar message in her testimony before the House Ways and Means Tax Policy Subcommittee.
"Using Farmrail as an example, over the last five years we have invested $34 million in infrastructure improvements of which $7.7 million was made possible by the credit," said Petry. "The credit also incentivizes shippers to increase investment. In South Dakota, for example, the improvements made by the 670-mile Rapid City Pierre & Eastern Railroad since 2014 have already attracted over $311 million in new facility investments by local companies. Shippers invest in their facilities once they are convinced that their short line is a reliable connection to the national rail network, and the tax credit helps make that a reality."
Petry also explained that even with the recent improvements to the tax code, there is still a strong need for the support provided by the 45G credit.
"While 100-percent expensing will help support capital investment in other industries, it does not serve as a substitute for 45G due to long-standing IRS rules about railroad expensing. And the nature of our industry – serving customers who ship small volumes combined with heavy capital investment requirements – leaves much of our industry with insufficient tax obligations to meaningfully benefit from a lower corporate tax rate," noted Petry.
The tax credit has been extended six times since 2004 with the most recent extension expiring at the end of 2017. There are currently House and Senate bills (H.R. 721 and S. 407) that would permanently extend the tax credit.
The tax credit was also one of three talking points the rail industry took to elected officials during a record-breaking Railroad Day on Capitol Hill on March 7.

2 months done. 59 days gone. It's going by quickly.
This month saw some real set-backs. My children were home 3 extra days because of snow and cold, and my daughter was home an additional day because of stomach flu. I was down for a day with that same stomach flu and now I have a head cold. Oh, and my daughter came home with lice. January was productive – February is trying to kill me.
I've gotten through all that, and still managed to achieve some milestones.
- I had a colour belt test at the beginning of February and got my red belt. Yay!
- I topped 100k words so far this year. I'm running roughly 23,000 words ahead of schedule on my total word count goals.
- I finished my last ghostwriting contract, and I finished it early, leaving me with 4 extra days to outline and plan for my next project.
- I finished the editing on Rose at the End and the cover is done. I'll need to format everything and put in the ISBNs and it's ready to go.
- I ordered my spring restock so I should have copies of Rose Alone before my first show of the year.
- I'm on schedule with Underground #6: Turncoats and I have a good sense of book 7 as well. In nine weeks the last 3 Underground books should be done and ready for editing.
This month I also took a big step for myself and my personal well-being. I've reached out for professional counseling help. I'm hoping this won't set me behind on my projects, but my health is more important than the words I put down on the page.
I'm looking forward to wrapping up the Underground series and starting a brand new project in late April.
For those local in Manitoba: I have a show on April 14th with Crafted by Me. It will be at the St. Norbert Community Center. I also have a book launch coming up for the Rose Garden Series. That will be on May 7 at 7pm at the Jake Epp Library in Steinbach. Both are completely free to attend.

5 Tips For Tracking Down Your Family Tree
Have you ever wanted to track down a branch of your family tree, but aren't sure how to go about it? Well, here's a story that'll not only inspire you to get going, but that'll give you some not-so-obvious tips for finding your ancestry that will actually be useful. Paula Williams Madison knew this much about her ancestry: she was part Chinese, looked Black, and would probably never know anything about her maternal grandfather, unless she was willing to go to extreme measures. Luckily, probably like you, Madison is a woman who likes a challenge.
Madison grew up hearing about her mother's yearning for her lost father. Her mother was an "outside child," a daughter born of an affair between a Chinese businessman, Samuel Lowe, and a Jamaican woman, Albertha. When Albertha found out that Lowe planned to take a Chinese wife, she fled in outrage with their daughter, refusing to allow Lowe any contact with her. Nell, Madison's mother, grew up without a father, a fact that haunted her all her life and spurred Madison in her quest to reclaim her Chinese family and, perhaps, give her mother's soul some rest.
Madison's memoir Finding Samuel Lowe chronicles her journey to discover her past, spanning from Jamaica to Harlem to China as Madison struggles to track down a branch of her family that doesn't even know she exists. As she tries to find her place in the world, she gives some tips for others trying to discover their family tree. Spoiler: It's not easy.
Gather As Much Information As You Can Before You Set Out
It's a big world out there, and going out searching for your ancestry blind is a fool's errand. Madison had some knowledge of her grandfather to start with: His American name, the time span he was in Jamaica, and his occupation. From there she was able to gather more information that would eventually lead to a breakthrough. But without at least some lead to start with, you might as well just run up to anyone on the street and ask them if you're related.
Keep The Reason For Your Search In Mind
Madison hit a lot of dead ends, and it took a massive amount of time and resources to eventually find her family in China. Luckily, she had some pretty strong motivation: fulfilling her mother's dream of finding her father. With this idea fixed in her mind, she was more willing to work through the setbacks she encountered, rather than giving up.
Be Willing To Ask Anyone (Including Strangers) for Help
I should probably say be willing to ask anyone, ESPECIALLY strangers, for help. In order to learn more about her grandfather, Madison asked anyone and everyone that she could think of for help. She went to a Hakka conference to try to find others who might know her distant family, and even roped in a documentary film maker to help her out. Apparently finding long lost relatives is not for the shy or anti-social.
Be Prepared For the Worst
Madison's husband warned her that she, a black woman, might not be readily embraced by her Chinese family. In fact, her entire search could just be building her up for heartbreak. Although happily this was not the case, there's always the chance that, when you go digging, you could find something that you didn't want to find. Maybe your family isn't so happy that you want to be a part of their lives, or maybe they have an unsavory past. So be prepared: your ancestry might not be all rainbows and sunshine.
Know That Your Perception of Yourself and Your World Will Change
For Madison, finding her Chinese family opened up an entirely new world for her: suddenly she held claim to a culture and a history that she never before felt connected to. More importantly, she went from being a woman with limited extended family to suddenly having a ton of aunts, uncles, and cousins that all wanted to be a part of her life. For better or worse, finding out more about where you came from can and probably will change you. Before you start looking, be comfortable with the idea that you may not be exactly the same person that you were in the beginning of your search.

Yeast is present in our bodies all the time. It is kept in check by the other good bacteria that is also present there all the time. But on occasion, this balance gets upset and the nasty little yeasty guys start to take over and before we know it we have a yeast infection!
Now to get rid of it, we need a yeast infection remedy that we can reach for quickly and get things back under control. One of the best things to do to start getting the good bacteria back into control is by increasing their numbers again. We can do this easily by eating yogurt because the right kind of yogurt contains lots of good bacteria that get right into our digestive tract when we eat it.
What could be better than a yeast infection remedy that we can eat and enjoy? But it has to be the right kind of yogurt; it has to contain what is known as live culture. If you just buy yogurt off the shelf at the grocers it may not contain this. Be sure to read the label to be sure.
One of the best ways to be sure you are getting plenty of live culture in your yogurt is to make it at home yourself. This way too, you will know that it is all natural and not full of artificial flavors and colors, as well as a ton of sugar. Sugar provides the perfect food for yeast bacteria so eating yogurt that is full of sugar will not work very effectively to kill it.
Homemade yogurt can be sweetened lightly with honey or molasses instead of refined sugar and you can also control the amount that you add.
There are plenty of recipes available for making homemade yogurt. Try making some today even if you don't have a yeast infection. Eating it regularly will only help to keep you healthy and if you should contract a yeast infection, you'll have a yummy yeast infection remedy right on hand.

Weight Control as an Osteoarthritis TreatmentIt is recommended that people with osteoarthritis who are overweight or obese lose weight as part of their treatment plan. Weight loss can reduce stress on weight-bearing joints and limit further injury. A dietitian can help you develop healthy eating habits. A healthy diet and regular exercise help reduce weight.
(Click BMI Calculator to find out if your weight is within a healthy range.)
Rest and Joint Care as Part of Treating OsteoarthritisOsteoarthritis treatment plans include regularly scheduled rest. People must learn to recognize the body's signals and know when to stop or slow down, which prevents pain caused by overexertion.
Some people find that relaxation techniques, stress reduction, and biofeedback help. Using canes and splints can also help by protecting and taking pressure off of joints. Splints or braces provide extra support for weakened joints. They also keep the joint in proper position during sleep or activity. Splints should be used only for limited periods, however, since joints and muscles need to be exercised to prevent stiffness and weakness. An occupational therapist or a doctor can help you get a properly fitting splint.
Medicines Used in Osteoarthritis TreatmentDoctors prescribe medicines to eliminate or reduce osteoarthritis pain and to improve functioning. Doctors consider a number of factors when choosing medicines for osteoarthritis treatment.
Two important factors are the intensity of the pain and the potential side effects of the medicine. People must use osteoarthritis medication carefully and tell their doctors about any changes that occur.
The following types of medicines are commonly used to treat osteoarthritis:
- Acetaminophen, such as Tylenol®
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as:
- Other medications.

Today, I want to discuss something serious. I'll keep it short and to the point.
Don't apologize for who you are. You should never apologize for displaying your passion for something. Be it a game, show, book, movie, hell even a sport, don't be ashamed to be vocal about your passions. Assholes don't apologize for being assholes, so you don't need ot apologize for being excited. Feel free to shout from the rooftops, if you feel it necessary. Don't let anyone bring you down.
I won't apologize for being so serious today. I wanted to get this off my chest. I will, however, do my best to keep every post from being so serious. This is a safe space, after all.
Thank you for reading, and have a lovely day.

Science is always working on new ways to make our world a better place to live. The pursuit for better materials is something that many scientists take quite seriously. Recently, some researchers found a way to make something smaller while making it much stronger. How do scientists make stronger materials?
There are a lot of concerns over technology taking human jobs, but in many cases, technology can actually help humans be better at their jobs. One quick example is drone technology used for disaster and emergency rescues. This technology has already been used to help find earthquake and hurricane survivors that are trapped or isolated in places that we can't easily see, but now drones are also being used to save lives at the beach!

text: Do You See Jesus In The Eucharist? admin April 24, 2017 0 In the Bible, every act/miracle that Jesus did or performed came with some outward visible sign. Even when Jesus told a recipient that his/her sins were forgiven, there was usually some other tangible outward sign that went along with it, for example, blind person seeing, raised from dead, lame walking, multiplication of loaves and fishes, etc. Jesus' only miracle performed truly without a physical transformation was at the Last Supper when He created the Eucharist – broke bread and said, "This is My Body"[1]. This miracle was one needing true Faith to take fully to heart. I cannot physically see anything but bread and wine during and after the Consecration at Mass. It is with my eyes of Faith that I need to see that miraculous transformation. I can see where my Protestant brothers have problems as well. They, as well, do not see anything different other than a bunch of wafers of bread and normal wine in a cup. Jesus told Thomas after His Resurrection, "Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed." [2] That is what is happening during the Eucharist. I need to "not see yet believe" more completely. The Eucharist, along with the other 6 Sacraments as well, all have that major element if "unseen Faith" required to fully participate and embrace the true miracle that is actually happening. From the mitigating of sins during Baptism, Confession and Anointing of the Sick, to the receiving of the Holy Spirit during Confirmation, one's physical sight and other senses are not sufficient to gain a belief of the miracle that is in process and being conveyed by the Sacrament. Again, the first point of Faith is to believe that Jesus is capable to have instituted these Sacramental miracles, whether I can see the deliverable outcome or not. Thomas did not believe his fellow brothers when they told him of Jesus' visit after His death and resurrection. There was still an element of doubt in Thomas' mind and heart that Jesus was God and was quite capable to resurrect from the dead as well as come for a visit. Thomas was then reborn in his Faith after Jesus visited a second time and later gave his life for Christ as a martyr. But Jesus is challenging you and me to believe right now; have Faith right now that Jesus is indeed God. He not only is capable to, but has instituted a Sacrament where He takes an ordinary person, a priest, and during that Consecration process, envelops this ordinary man to then be in persona of Christi, who then takes ordinary bread and wine and miraculously changes that ordinary bread and wine into Jesus' Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. All this is done and the priest physically is unchanged, Fr. John still physically looks like Fr. John, and the bread and wine still looks the same as it did before. On first sight, it is easy for anyone, ones in the Faith or outside lookers looking in, to wonder what the heck is going on here? It is easy for one to not believe one's brothers when they tell you, "That bread is really the body of Christ". It is easy to say, "When I see some physical change to that bread, then I will believe that this miracle/transformation from bread to Body of Christ is real and has happened." Although this has happened in the past (e.g. Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, Italy[3]), Jesus asks us to believe our brothers, and His Church, by believing, not just as a point of intellectual Faith, but deep seated Faith of true Spiritual belief. It happens! Do you believe? Do you feel Jesus's presence when you receive the Eucharist? That is my goal, and hope it is yours as well. Let us truly find Jesus in His Eucharist. Let us not see yet believe. Amen. God bless. [1] Luke 22:19 [2] John 20:29 [3] See website: http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/mir/lanciano.html

Invitae Offers Free Genetic Testing, Counseling for Hereditary Prostate Cancer
Invitae has launched a free genetic testing program to help connect prostate cancer patients to earlier diagnosis and treatments. The program also offers eligible patients free genetic counseling to help them understand their test results so that they can make more informed decisions about medical care. Called Detect Hereditary Prostate Cancer, the program is available to men in the U.S. and Canada who cannot rely on insurance and have low risk prostate cancer (stage II) or intermediate to very high risk (stages III or IV). Information on how to enroll in the program is available here. "Genetic testing can offer tremendous benefits to patients, clinicians and the broader medical community by expediting diagnosis, facilitating earlier interventions, accelerating clinical trial recruitment, and providing real-world data insights into many devastating diseases," Robert Nussbaum, MD, chief medical officer of Invitae, said in a press release. Mutations in DNA-repair genes and others that increase the risk for hereditary prostate cancer are found in up to 10% of patients with metastatic or advanced prostate cancer, and 3% of patients with localized disease. Understanding a patient's mutations allows doctors to pinpoint more suitable treatments, or to decide whet

Here's a case study demonstrating everything one shouldn't do to promote the nutritional value and the culinary enjoyment of eating meat. Read it and weep (as one little kid actually did).
At first glance, the headline on this news item reads like any other click-bait story: "Two British protestors were hauled into court in the UK and fined for causing some kids to start crying."
But let's back up just a bit.
First of all, this is a true story, not one of those supermarket tabloid fan fiction fantasies about alien babies and "real-life" wolf boys. The incident in question took place across The Pond in London, and the defendants, Deonisy Khlenikov, 22, and Gatis Lagzdins, 29, were arrested, convicted and assessed fines of £200 and £400 pounds, respectively — about $250 and $500 — according to the Washington Examiner.
But let's go to the primary source, London's The Independent newspaper website for the blow-by-blow, and see if you agree that this tale is j-u-u-u-st a bit out of the ordinary:
"Two men were filmed biting into the squirrels at the food stand on Rupert Street on 30 March this year," the news report stated. "The men were reportedly asked to stop eating the animals by the parent of a distressed child, but continued eating the raw rodents.
"In [a video the defendants later posted], Lagzdins can be seen tearing open a bedraggled-looking dead squirrel with his bare hands before eating some of the innards. Khlebnikov then attempts to tear into a second dead squirrel's fur directly with his teeth, which isn't successful, and he then rips the carcass open with his hands, declaring to a passerby, "It smells good", who responds: "No, it doesn't smell good. Surely not!"
In addition to that delightful scenario, the video clip that accompanied the story showed Lagzdins wearing what appeared to be a de-feathered chicken carcass on a string around his neck.
According to The Independent, Natalie Clines, a prosecutor in London's Magistrate's Court, said that the men "claimed they were against veganism" and were merely "raising awareness about the dangers of not eating meat" when they publicly tore into — or failed to do so, as the case may be — a pair of dead squirrels.
Clines said she was able to demonstrate that the pair had "intended to cause distress to the public" and that their "premeditated actions caused significant distress" to the public, especially the aforementioned crying child.
Raw is never right
To be fair, causing a little kid to start crying isn't by itself cause for criminal prosecution. Heck, in one of the iconic scenes in the classic "A Christmas Story" movie, Santa himself turns a five-year-old into a sobbing mess of tears.
The real problem is twofold.
First of all, promoting the consumption of animal foods is a fine and noble cause with which to engage. But one does not advance that cause by wolfing down raw meat OF ANY SPECIES in public, much less gnawing on the carcass of a dead squirrel!
(And by the way, unless you're spending your time roaming some public park with a shotgun, there's only one way to acquire a dead squirrel: roadkill!)
Second, and I'll preface this observation by acknowledging that activists of any social or political stripe never heed this advice, getting in people's faces, whether promoting or condemning meat-eating, never, ever works.
If you identify as a proud veganista, demanding that the world go veggie only provides haters with clear cause to reject that proposal.
And if you're two brain-dead Londoners (allegedly) intent on convincing the British public to continue and/or resume eating meat, biting into raw squirrels is absolutely, positively guaranteed to turn people off to whatever benefits you might have in mind by advocating animal foods as a staple of one's diet.
I'm not sure that getting slapped with some substantial fines triggered any "enlightenment" for Messers. Khlenikov and Lagzdins, but I do know one thing.
They made damn sure that plenty of people who read about their ridiculous stunt, or worse, watched the stomach-turning video they posted, are now officially and likely permanently skeptical of all the rest of us who embrace sound, sensible arguments in favor of including nutritious animal foods in one's daily diet.
Thanks a lot, idiots.

Look out Patriots or Colts – the Jags are on the way. In an exciting finish that was totally unexpected, the Jaguars survived after blowing an 18-point fourth quarter lead only to kick a last second field goal to top the game Pittsburgh Steelers 31-29 at Heinz Field in Pittbsburgh. The Jags seemed on the verge of defeat on their last drive, as they had a 4th-and-2 from the Steelers 43 with 1:56 left. QB David Garrard, who had a rahter forgettable night, took off and rushed 32 yards to get the Jags in field goal range. Three plays later, Josh Scobee kicked the chip shot 25-yard field goal, sealing the Jags win.
The Steelers jumped out fast, going down the field with ease and scoring on their first drive of the game. Ben Roethlisberger was sharp, hitting wide outs and pass catchers all over the place, as the team went 80 yards in 10 plays with Najeh Davenport going over from a yard out to quickly make it 7-0. The Jags responded in two plays, as Maurice Jones-Drew took the next kickoff 96 yards, and then Fred Taylor went in from a yard out to make it 7-7 with 9:39 left in the first quarter.
The Jaguars dominated the rest of the half, as first they scored on a pick 6 as Rashean Mathis took a bad Roethlisberger pass back 63 yards at the 10:19 mark of the second quarter to make it 14-7. Then on the next drive, Ben again was picked, and the Jags responded with a Garrard to Jones-Drew TD on 3rd-and-7 that covered 43 yards that made it 21-7 with 8:34 left in the half. The Steelers had their shots, but late in the half from the Jags 21, Roethlisberger again was picked, this time stopping a drive that likley would have at least gotten them three.
After Pittsburgh made it 21-10 on a Reed field goal in the third, the Jags looked as if it would be a laugher, as Jones-Drew capped a drive with a nifty 10-yard run that made it 28-10 with 4:39 left in the third quarter. That's when the Steelers finally woke up. Roethlisberger went on fire for the rest of the game, first with a TD on the first play of the fourth quarter on fourth down to Santonio Holmes that made it 28-17. After a Jags 3-and-out, the Steelers scored again, this time capping a drive with Ben hitting Heath Miller from 10 yards out to make it 28-23 with 10:25 left.
Garrard, who usually is mistake free, again threw a pick, his second, and Ike Taylor took it to the Jags 16. Ben was back at work, getting down to the Jags one after a pass interference on 4th down, and Davenport scored again, but the 2-point conversion was no good, leaving the Steelers up 29-28. The Steelers D held, but the offense was unable to get a first, leaving the Jags that one last shot, and they would take advantage of it.
This game was what football is all about. It had great physical play on both sides, came down to the end, and showed why the AFC is so much better than the NFC. Garrard deserves a ton of credit for not folding after the two huge picks, and he should get a lot of props for the great fourth down run that got the Jags in field goal range. For the Steelers, no doubt it was a game effort for a team that simply was banged up all over the place. No Willie Parker, hurting all over the offensive line, and even kick returner Allen Rossum was out. No one can say that the Steelers got out muscled, like everyone did after the first meeting.
So it appears that the Jags will head to New England next weekend for a meeting with the undefeated Pats. No question it will be a HUGE upset if the Jags can pull it off. But, they've come this far, so all they can do it give it their best shot. If they play the Colts, it will be a classic AFC South showdown, one that they would love to have since they have lost to them twice this season.

Less than 7 weeks before Christmas so it's nice to surround yourself with as many Christmasy things as possible. For me its the new body scrub from Frank Body. The Cinna-Buns Scrub is a limited-edition scrub that smells like my Christmas. It just perks me up and makes me want to decorate my house and paint it red and green.
It contains coffee, of course, to boost circulation and buff away dry skin, marks, and scars. It also has cinnamon to heal, hydrate, and nourish the skin. This body scrub also has honey and ginger powder to help moisturize, soothe, and protect the skin against free radical damage and premature aging.
Its texture and feel are the same as the original coffee scrub but this smells like Christmas mornings. It not only wakes me up in the morning, it also makes me smile. As with all Frank Body scrubs, this helps soften and smooth my skin while moisturizing and nourishing it.
The Frank Body Cinna-buns Scrub was provided by @frankbod. Available for $18.95 at frankbody.com

New Orleans — The return of Drew Brees went about as well as the Saints could have hoped, behind 510 total yards of offense in their 31-9 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Brees showed no signs of any lingering issues with his thumb, throwing for 373 yards on a 34-43 passing effort and a trio of touchdowns. No surprise that his main target was Michael Thomas, who finished with 112 yards on 11 catches. Thomas was targeted 11 times and caught every single pass that came his way. This is the 4th game this season Thomas has more than 100 yards receiving. Taysom Hill was the Saints' second-leading receiver in the game, catching all three of the passes thrown to him for a total of 63 yards and a touchdown.
Latavius Murray had himself a game, still carrying the load for an injured Alvin Kamara, who was out for the second-straight game. Murray had 157 total yards and two touchdowns.
The Cardinals took an early lead on a field goal on their first drive of the game, but the Saints responded with a field goal of their own on their ensuing possession to tie the game at 3. From there, the Saints took the lead in the second quarter on Murray's first touchdown of the game and they never trailed again.
The Saints (7-1) now get to rest-up on a bye week before hosting the Falcons for a noon kick-off on Sunday, November 10.

This week I've been thinking hard about how we can make mHealth relevant in the real world. I was prompted by two quite different news items that I saw that felt like obvious calls to action:
- In the first story from the UK, the Telegraph were commenting on the ever-increasing cost of care homes, and how this massively outstrips pensioners' incomes ('Rise in care home fees outstrips earnings by 54 per cent').
- In the second article from the US, the topic was the prevalence of co-morbidities in diabetes patients, and how this represented the real tragedy and cost of the rising tide of this disease around the world. It's not diabetes that kills you so much as the complications.
Missing words
In both cases I was reading the articles and screaming inwardly, "but mHealth could help to tackle this!" I was puzzled why it wasn't referenced specifically in the articles as a possible strategy – which got me thinking, "why isn't mHealth the obvious answer with many of the challenges we're facing in long-term care?"
I think it's because we haven't created those human stories directly enough. So instead of explaining how low-cost assistive living technology can help to support older people to stay in their own home we talk about 'dispersed alarm units', 'pendant alarms' and 'fall sensors'. Do you honestly think language like this is going to make a senior consumer think "I must spend my money on these strange things, as opposed to that nice cruise I was thinking of"?
In the case of diabetes, it's more fundamental – we keep offering incomplete tools that address a small piece of the puzzle – for instance an app to track my blood sugar, or a connected blood pressure monitor, that don't talk to each other and don't really offer value to the people around me, whether clinicians, carers or peers. As far as I can see, no one has put the whole puzzle together with connected devices, software and coaching services that support me on behaviour, diagnostics and medication across all the co-morbidities to really tame the beast. This is crazy, as separately the mHealth solutions do exist – we just haven't pulled the story together.
People buy benefits
I've written before about the communication gap in mHealth and the need to translate our technical understanding into a human story. I've also written about where we are in the hype cycle, in the belief that mHealth was finally rising up the 'slope of enlightenment'. If we don't start telling human stories that focus on benefits and create emotional engagement, we'll be stuck in the trough for ever. There's an old saying amongst salesmen – 'people buy benefits'. It's just as true for mHealth as anything else.
So if you see any great examples of real world mHealth stories I'd love to hear from you – or you can always contact me.

Hi Bob / Cypress team,
Here is the best solution for printf overriding. PFA attached project.
ARM GNU toolchain, I am not confident, as I have an option of ARM MDK compiler. Compiled image size with MDK compiler is far smaller than GNU tool chain. And MDK follows all standard definition and have documentation available.
Always prefer MDK over GNU toolchain.
File system simplest solution will also follow up on this post.

Hi, Bob. I'm running PSoC creator 3.3 on a Pioneer BLE kit with Cy8C-4248-LQI-583. I've set the pins in the cydwr to rx=p1[4] and tx=p1[5].
I can build and upload your file, and it prints "PuTTY Output" but then does not print the prompt or scanf for input. Looks like the PuTTY_UartPutString works, but that printf does not.
Is stdio functionality better in creator 4.0? I tend not to like .0 releases of toolchains, and am not enthused by the "BLE Code Examples Fail Digital Placement" erratum...
7. Re: How to override printf's in PSoC4?JoMe_264151 Nov 15, 2016 1:41 AM (in response to jirec_1873026)
Best (and fastest, less resource consuming) way to print formatted:
In Project -> Build Settings -> Linker Set Use newlib nano to true (default)
Set Use newlib nano float formatting to true
In Workspace -> System set the Heap size to 0x0200
Configure your UART Rx and Tx Buffer size to 80 .. 200 using the internal interrupt
The function family scanf() is not supported by newlib nano, you'll need to use atoi() macro

Our story
From Vintage to Vogue
Before you arrive in Dubai, you think you know what it's like. That's why you'll find it so surprising. It's a desert city that's equally comfortable with its past and its present. It's what makes Dubai such a unique place to discover.
The Dubai Creek is the waterway that connects the architectural exuberance of the new city with the mystical trading posts of the old. Long before the first skyscraper dwarfed the dunes around it, the Creek was the city's heart and soul. In vibrant Deira, you will still feel the bustle of a Gulf trading town from centuries ago.
This stretch of the Creek is maybe Dubai's most surprising area. In the distance, the world's tallest tower shimmers, but around you are the flavors and colors of an ancient spice bazaar. Boats still ferry throngs of people across the waterway, just like they did during the pearl boom of centuries ago. All around you, people sell and buy and barter just like they've always done. Stand around in a souk for a moment and someone will pour you tea. With all that's shiny in Dubai, it's easy to forget about the city's spirited heritage.
Travel further up the Creek to districts that buzz with design and art. You'll find new precincts full of modern-art galleries, creative hotshops and more fashion than you could ever wear in a season. Enjoy expertly roasted craft coffee among the worldwide creatives who are helping to reinvent Dubai every single day.
From the Creek, you can travel by newly constructed canal to the city's commercial and fashion hubs. This is where you'll discover the perfect blend between business and leisure. Join the locals cycling or walking along the canal as you take in the architectural wonders that continue to astound the world.
Just like the thousands of migratory birds that settle by the Creek's mangroves each year, you are welcome in a modern-day oasis, where all that's vintage flourishes next to all that's in vogue. Grab a water taxi and decide if you want to dive into tradition or modernity first. Either way, prepare to be inspired.
You thought you knew what Dubai was like? Prepare to be surprised. In this lively city, many different stories become alive before your eyes.
Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown

The Point of View (POV) in a story or novel is the narrative perspective from which the story is told. When you tell a story about other people using he, she or they (or it) to describe the events they experienced: that is a third person narrative. It's a natural way for us to tell stories about things that happened to other people or things.
In third person narrative it is clear the narrator is not personally involved in the story and play no part in the events and have no influence on the outcome.
There are two distinct ways to use third person narratives: close or limited and roaming or omniscient. Here I will discuss the latter.
A story in the omniscient or third person roaming point of view has a narrator who has a complete overview of every event, they can see every character and, more importantly, are privy to the thoughts, feelings and motivations of everyone in the story. So an omniscient narrator can be authoritative and truthfully tell us what is happening to all the characters.
The idea of a 'roaming' third person narration comes from the idea that the third person narrator is sitting on the shoulder of a character seeing, experiencing events from their point of view and able to see and hear their thoughts and inner dialogue you (just as a third person close or limited narrator would) but the roaming narrator can move from one character to another. One thing to be wary of in this type of narrative is 'head hopping' where we move to rapidly between characters or even back and forwards between them.
Stephanie was pleased to have found a parking space so close to the bar. Strictly speaking the space was only to be used after 6pm and it was still only five minutes to but she was already late and it was pouring with rain. She congratulated herself as she ran for cover popping the central locking over her shoulder as she went. Unbeknown to her the traffic warden had sheltered in the shadows of the funeral parlour doorway and he gave a smirk as he realised he would achieve today's quota today after all.
The bar was busy but Stephanie spotted Nicola holding course on the far side of the bar. Nicola was sipping from a glass of something pink. She spotted Steph and called across the bar, waving her arms and indicating the empty seat next to her. She'd been saving it and was relieved to see Steph was finally there as the bar was filling up and more than one person had already asked if it was taken. But that was typical of Steph, Nicola thought with a moment's irritation, always later than you expected and then easily offended if you hadn't managed to save her a seat as if you didn't care enough or something.
Steph plonked herself onto the bar stool and shrugged her jacket off.
'Have you see, Jack?' she asked Nicola off scouring the crowd for him.
'He's over there, ' replied Nicola flicking her head in the direction of the juke box. That was odd, he'd been there will Craig just a moment ago. 'Or he was,' she added, puzzled.
Jack peered from behind the pillar wondering if he could make it to the door without being spotted by the girls. He just wasn't in the mood tonight.
As you can see from this example, moving too fast between characters makes the story choppy and hard to follow but done well it's important to consider when it's appropriate to move from one character to another and how you can make the transition.
Epic stories with huge numbers of characters benefit from this kind of storytelling as the narrator can access all areas of the world and report on events, thoughts and conversations wherever they occur. Many countless classics have used this POV.
Consider this passage from 'Hard Times' by Charles Dickens
Art or nature though, the original stock of Louisa's character or the graft of circumstances upon it,—her curious reserve did baffle, while it stimulated, one as sagacious as Mrs. Sparsit. There were times when Mr. James Harthouse was not sure of her. There were times when he could not read the face he had studied so long; and when this lonely girl was a greater mystery to him, than any woman of the world with a ring of satellites to help her.
So the time went on; until it happened that Mr. Bounderby was called away from home by business which required his presence elsewhere, for three or four days.
The narrator is able to tell us Louisa's reserve baffles Mrs Sparsit and that Mr Harthouse is unsure of her and then in the next paragraph we learn Mr Bounderby was called away on business – all thoughts and activities are known to the narrator.
In this passage from "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett the story is focused on Mary.
During the confusion and bewilderment of the second day Mary hid herself in the nursery and was forgotten by everyone. Nobody thought of her, nobody wanted her, and strange things happened of which she knew nothing. Mary alternately cried and slept through the hours. She only knew that people were ill and that she heard mysterious and frightening sounds. Once she crept into the dining-room and found it empty, though a partly finished meal was on the table and chairs and plates looked as if they had been hastily pushed back when the diners rose suddenly for some reason. The child ate some fruit and biscuits, and being thirsty she drank a glass of wine which stood nearly filled. It was sweet, and she did not know how strong it was. Very soon it made her intensely drowsy, and she went back to her nursery and shut herself in again, frightened by cries she heard in the huts and by the hurrying sound of feet. The wine made her so sleepy that she could scarcely keep her eyes open and she lay down on her bed and knew nothing more for a long time.
Many things happened during the hours in which she slept so heavily, but she was not disturbed by the wails and the sound of things being carried in and out of the bungalow."
This too is told from an omniscient POV. Despite the focus on Mary we are told that she 'was forgotten by everyone. Nobody thought of her, nobody wanted her, and strange things happened of which she knew nothing.' At the end of the excerpt we read 'Many things happened during the hours in which she slept so heavily, but she was not disturbed by the wails and the sound of things being carried in and out of the bungalow.'
So the narrator knows the thoughts of other 'off-stage' characters and things happening of which Mary was unaware. So this is an omniscient or roaming narrator even though the prose is focussing on one character's experience.
Rewrite the head hopping example above using a 3 rd person roaming or omnisicient POV and post it in the comments below for review.
The Point of View (POV) in a story or novel is the narrative perspective from which the story is told. When you tell a story about other people using he/she or they (or it) to describe the events they experienced: that is a third person narrative. It's a natural way for us to tell stories about things that happened to other people or things.
In third person narrative it is clear the narrator is not personally involved in the story and play no part in the events and have no influence on the outcome.
There are two distinct ways to use third person narratives: close or limited and roaming or omniscient. In this article we will discuss the former.
This narrative perspective allows you to stay close to one character so you can create an intimacy as you might with a first person POV. The narrator can tell us what our character is doing and is privy to their thoughts, ideas, observations and motivations. However, the actions, motivations and emotions of other characters will have to be shown and inferred from the things the central character is party to: dialogue, facial expressions, body language, actions or behaviour.
As with first person POV there is a challenge in exposing important events that happen 'off stage' or between other characters as the narrator cannot witness them.
Third person point of view enables you to be more objective that first person. By definition a first person POV is subjective. Someone telling their own story might say another character was completely unreasonable and haughty but in a third person narrative it's easier to show the other character trying to meet the protagonist halfway. The narrator and the viewpoint character are different people so third person can say things a first person might not.
So for example, a passage from my own novel, Lacking Grace.
"Blue, you're distracting me," muttered Grace.
Blue had her fingers laced together and rested in her lap, thumbs rolling slowly around one another.
"I'm not making a sound."
"You're twiddling and fiddling and it's annoying."
"Grace is trying to write a letter." said Mabel.
"I know that," Blue rolled her eyes, "That's why I was sitting quietly minding my own business."
"Oh will you two just stop squabbling. I am trying to concentrate." snapped Grace.
A first person narrator might just say, Blue and Mabel wouldn't stop interrupting me and I asked them very politely to stop (because that's how the character imagines things were.) If I am telling you about myself I am less likely to paint myself as bad tempered or unreasonable that a third person narrator who is likely to be more honest.
I chose third person close/limited for my novel because, Grace, the protagonist, has periods of deep depression and self-loathing and I felt we needed some distance from her at those times. However, I wanted the immediacy of being able to bear witness to her journey even at times she didn't understand what was happening to her.
Here's an excerpt from Barbara Kingsolver's novel, 'Unsheltered'.
"I didn't know there was like a baby," she said finally.
Willa resisted pointing out it wasn't like a baby, it was the actual article. This was not much of a friend, if Tig hadn't mentioned the baby bomb dropped on the family.
"I mean, that you guys were still, you know, parents. It's little."
With some effort Willa worked out the girl's mistake, and nearly laughed. She could have been flattered but knew better; fifty-five and thirty-five look just alike to the more self-absorbed of the younger set. They don't see themselves reaching either of those ages, so it doesn't matter. And it wasn't a compliment: braless in her sleep T-shirt and sweatpants, Willa was the picture of worst-case motherhood. And in no mood for chitchat about the family tragedy, frankly. She opted to stick with small talk until she could be dismissed.
This is being related from the POV of Willa but in third person limited. We are privy to Willa's irritation that the girl uses the word 'like' inappropriately and her amusement that she is mistaken for the baby's mother (she's his grandmother) but the description of her braless in her sleep T-shirt and sweatpants and the conclusions 'Willa was the picture of the worst-case motherhood' is probably harsher than she might have described it. Perhaps she would have excused her slovenly appearance on the basis she's a grandmother, coping with a small baby at a time when she could be expecting to relax and enjoy time to herself.
Take a passage from a favourite book written in the first person POV (ie. a story told from the perspective of 'I') and rewrite it in third person closed. Analyse how this changes the immediacy, honesty and intimacy of the piece. Post your ideas and thoughts in the comments box below.
The Point of View (POV) in a story or novel is the narrative perspective from which the story is told. When you tell a story about yourself you use 'I' (or 'We') to describe the events you experienced: that is a first-person narrative.
A first-person narrator, by definition, can only see and interpret the world from one position and that is their own. The reader will be intimate with the opinions, thoughts and feelings of the narrator but not of other characters.
So how do you tell a rounded story from only one view point? And can you be sure your character
is interesting and engaging enough that the reader wants to 'listen' to them for hundreds of pages.
Perhaps more challenging is how you expose things that have happened in another room or
between other characters if the narrator cannot witness them?
Of course, the narrator may overhear conversations, read someone's diary or accidentally spot a text message, read a newspaper article, find a letter or receive a third party report of something
material. All of these things could happen but be careful of overusing such devices. It soon becomes obvious to the reader that these expositions are unnatural and can create a feeling that the story lacks authenticity.
Some authors have more than one first-person point of view to tell a whole story. It can be
interesting to highlight characters' differing interpretations of the same event or to get a different perspective on the world. If you choose to have two characters speaking in the first person you will need to be very sure the reader can distinguish them by giving them particular tics or obsessions.
For example, in 'The Poisonwood Bible' by Barbara Kingsolver there are five first-person narrators: a mother (Orleana) and her four daughters (Rachel, Leah, Adah and Ruth May).
The family move to the heart of Africa when the husband and father, Nathan, decides to be a missionary there.
Adah is disabled from an accident at birth so likes to play with words in her head, Ruth May is obsessed with small animals, Leah strives to be the son her father never had and Rachel longs for the teenage life of lipstick and music she left behind in America.
Because their characters are so distinctive, as a reader, I was never in doubt as to who was speaking to me. But that's Barbara Kingsolver! For us mere mortals, two distinct narrators may be a challenge.
"Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine" by Gail Honeyman is written from first person point of view.
"The doctor was doing that thing where they talk to you but don't look at you, reading my notes on the screen, hitting the return key with increasing ferocity as he scrolled down.
'What can I do for you this time, Miss Oliphant?'
'It's back pain, Doctor,' I told him. 'I've been in agony.' He still didn't look at me.
'How long have you been experiencing this?' he said.
'A couple of weeks,' I told him. He nodded. 'I think I know what's causing it,' I said, 'but I wanted to get your opinion.' He stopped reading, finally looked across at me.
'What is it that you think is causing your back pain, Miss Oliphant?'
'I think it's my breasts, Doctor,' I told him.
'Your breasts?'
'Yes,' I said. 'You see, I've weighed them, and they're almost half a stone – combined
weight, that is, not each!'
I laughed.
He stared at me, not laughing.
'That's a lot of weight to carry around, isn't it?' I asked him. 'I mean, if I were to strap half a stone of additional flesh to your chest and force you to walk around all day like that, your back would hurt too, wouldn't it?'
He stared at me, then cleared his throat."
Eleanor is the first-person narrator of the story, telling us (the readers) what happened to her. We are 'seeing' the story unfold from her perspective.
However, while we have intimacy with Eleanor, we can only INFER the other character's thoughts or motives from his behaviour, facial expression, body language or dialogue because Eleanor is filtering those ideas and interpreting them in her own way. This tells is about Eleanor as well as the way she sees the doctor.
For example, 'The doctor was doing that thing where they talk to you but don't look at you'. This suggests the doctor is in some way disinterested in Eleanor and she, in turn, has seen this kind of behaviour before. The picture we get of him, 'hitting the return key with increasing ferocity as he scrolled down' shows perhaps irritation? Anger?
And then his dialogue, 'What can I do for you this time, Miss Oliphant?' hints that she is a regular visitor to his surgery, perhaps even a hypochondriac?
Look at the final line of this excerpt, 'He stared at me, then cleared his throat". Again Eleanor is reporting what he did but in such a way that we can infer his surprise at her curious (even bizarre) conclusion that the weight of her breasts is a problem and we can even see him trying to process that she has gone to the trouble of weighing her breasts (on kitchen scales as we discover later).
Rewrite the extract above (about Eleanor Oliphant's visit to the surgery) from the Point of View of the doctor.
Perhaps his surgery is running late and he is anxious to get away? Maybe he is simply fed up with Eleanor's demands and increasingly bizarre assertions.
Post your ideas in the comments below for others to review.

Doctors saved the newborn Holly Hutchinson by plunging her head in a bucket of ice water, Metro reported.
Holly was born on December 19 and fell ill with viral meningitis at Christmas. On New Year's Eve, her mother, who works as a pediatric nurse, noticed that her baby's condition worsened and took her to Sunderland Royal Hospital.
"Medics believed the shock of the freezing water might restart her heart, which had risen to 320 beats per minute. Despite the ice shock, her parents were told her heart rate was not slowing. She was eventually given powerful drugs that brought her back from the brink just in time," the source noted.
Doctors reported 10 minutes before the New Year that the girl's heart rate had recovered and her condition had stabilized. According to doctors, if her parents brought her to the hospital 20 minutes later, they would not be able to save her.
After 48 hours, the child was discharged from the hospital.

Co-op Spotlight, Pt. II
Today the Job Blog is highlighting another OSU engineering student's internship/co-op experience. Today's "cool co-op", Joel Wotowiec, is a former MSE student who graduated this past fall. Joel worked at Oshkosh Corporation...here's what he had to say about his experience working on "big trucks NOT baby clothes"...
"I had the opportunity to spend 14 months on an extended internship with Oshkosh Corporation in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. People first asked me how I would use my Materials Science and Engineering background to make Oshkosh B'Gosh overalls, but they were sorely mistaken. Oshkosh Corporation designs and builds the world's toughest specialty trucks for military, fire and emergency, concrete placement, refuse hauling, access/construction equipment, and snow removal markets. I worked in the Materials and Process Engineering group which served the entire corporation, thus allowing me to work on different projects daily. Typical projects included performing failure analysis, corrosion testing, reverse engineering, material evaluation and new product development. For a few months, I had a hand in the development and testing of transparent and vehicle armor packages. I was also in charge of keeping the lab maintained and organized because new projects arrived daily from all the different segments of the company. A few projects required me to travel to other cities and states, as well as other manufacturing facilities. I am a very hands-on type of person, so it was great not to be stuck behind a desk all day. I was very blessed to have such an invaluable experience at this co-op and I was also featured on the college relations website for the company in 'a day in the life' category. This co-op had the coolest projects with the majority of them being high priority, confidential, and proprietary projects for the government. In addition, it was gratifying to go to work every day knowing that ultimately, those trucks will roll off the line to help save lives."

Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
Hibernate is a fast way to turn a computer on and off. On many computers, it works reliably.
I often turn my computer off and on daily. I use the hibernate function always. Is this in any way possible to harm it? I'm aware of the slight power use, but hibernate really speeds things up. I use Windows XP and run on Verizon DSL. I've never had any problems.
In this excerpt from Answercast #18, I talk about hibernate as a safe alternative to shutting off a computer and why I don't choose to use it.
And I wouldn't expect you to. Hibernate is totally safe when it works for you and clearly, it works reliably for you. If it's working faster for you than rebooting the machine, I really don't see a problem.
It's not something I would ever expect to damage your machine in any way.
Having said, that I do want to clarify one thing: "I'm aware of a slight power use."
No. Hibernate does not use any power. Hibernate literally turns your machine off completely.
That is in contrast to standby. Standby is the one that actually uses a little bit of power to keep RAM loaded. Hibernate writes all of your RAM to disk. Standby keeps all of the RAM in RAM by using a little bit of power to keep it in RAM.
If they work reliably for you, I really don't see an issue. I would encourage you to continue doing what you're doing.
Personally, I don't really like either. That's typically not so much because they are dangerous in any way. It's just that in my experience (on my computers), they have been unreliable to one degree or another. Either I can't reliably come back from hibernate or I can't reliable come back from standby.
So, I just trained myself to always turn the machine off completely anyway.
But if it's working and working reliably for you (and it sounds like it is),
keep on hibernating!
Next from Answercast 18 - Can I plug all my router plugs into a switch to get more speed?
Article C5353 - May 17, 2012 « »
Sometimes the power goes out in my home when my computer is HIBERNATING, and I worry about damage/loss/wear because I hadn't properly shut down the computer. Since it says above that, "Hibernate literally turns your machine off completely," does that mean that I shouldn't worry about this situation because a hibernating computer is just like a computer that was shut down, in this case?
I like to shut down my computer every night, so sometimes I "wake" it from hibernating so I can shut it down and switch off the surge protector...now I'm thinking this is a waste of time :).
"Hibernate literally turns your machine off completely," means that the power is turned completely off on your computer exactly the same as if you shut it down normally. There is no greater risk of damage with hibernation than there would be with a complete shutdown. Hibernation essentially copies the contents of your RAM to the hard drive and completely shuts the computer off. Then on wake up, instead of the normal start-up procedure, it copies the contents from the hibernation file back into RAM.
The only question I have on this subject is how does hibernate deal with garbage collection. I'm sure that when you perform a complete shut-down, everything is reset and cleared when restarted. Does hibernate do anything similar?
All programs are not perfect. Sometimes when you close a program it doesn't give back all memory. Not as bad as it used to be a few window releases back, but it still can happen. Hibernation isn't a bad thing, but I would recommend rebooting once in a while (desktop I reboot once a week, server - once a month - sometimes longer). Here at work I reboot because changes made to bootup batchfiles to fix intranet problems only run on reboot. For those that want to know what I mean about memory problems, look up [memory leaks].
