Karachi University is one of the oldest universities of Pakistan and ranked among the top, in terms of international standards, according to HEC. This university provides a bus point services to its students coming from all areas of this large city, mostly from middle class. The university boasts around 80,000 students (Wikipedia) and having more than 52 departments. The university has around 34 buses out of which only 27 or 28 are working. Most of the working buses are worn-out. Government should help get new busses to ensure the safety of the students. There is need to increase the availability of transport as well. This will bring fresh blood to the university and solve commuting problems.

Left ventricular 'rigid body rotation' in a patient with acromegaly (from the MAGYAR-Path Study)
Cardiovascular complications are known features in acromegaly due to growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) excess (1,2). In healthy subjects, left ventricular (LV) apex and base rotate in opposite directions resulting in a towel-wringing-like motion called as LV twist, which could be easily and non-invasively quantified by three-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) (3). However, little is known about LV myocardial rotational mechanics in acromegaly.
We report the case of a 49-year-old female patient with typical features of acromegaly who was involved in the Motion Analysis of the heart and Great vessels bY three-dimensionAl speckle-tRacking echocardiography in Pathological cases (MAGYAR-Path) Study. Transnasal-transsphenoidal hypophysectomy was performed at the age of 31 years due to eosinophilic macroadenoma. Thirteen years later, she was reoperated due to recidivation. She is now treated for nodular goiter with hypothyroidism (levothyroxine), Addison's disease (hydrocortisone) and osteoporosis (vitamin D). Complete two dimensional (2D) Doppler echocardiography and 3DSTE were carried out with a commercially available Toshiba ArtidaTM echocardiography equipment. During 2D echocardiography, grade I LV diastolic dysfunction could be detected without significant valvular heart disease or LV systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction proved to be 56%). 3DSTE-derived global LV radial, longitudinal, circumferential, area and 3D strains were 34.6%, –19.4%, –33.1%, –40.7% and 36.7%, respectively. Interestingly, LV apical and basal rotations were in the same clockwise direction confirming near absence of LV twist called as LV 'rigid body rotation' (RBR) in this case with acromegaly (Figure 1). The real mechanism behind this finding is not known, but could be partially explained by GH/IGF-1 induced cardiomyopathy including alterations in cardiac fibers due to long-standing hormonal effects, LV hypertrophy (1,2), endothelial dysfunction (4), but other reasons or the effect of comorbidities could not be excluded either.

Members of Boy Scout Troop 700 of St. Joseph recently earned their Fishing Merit Badges. The requirements for the Fishing Merit Badge were taught by Conservation Department Fisheries Regional Supervisor Harold Kerns and Eagle Scout Zach Kerns of Troop 60 in Savannah.
During the first session, the Scouts discussed fishing safety, tied basic fishing knots, and looked at various fishing lures, baits and fishing gear (rods and reels).
The much-anticipated second session was a fishing trip to a Missouri Western State University campus pond. Each Scout fished with a mentor (a Conservation Department employee, parent or volunteer) to provide assistance and support. All Scouts caught a fish—their first for some. First-timers were presented with First Fish Awards to commemorate the event. The Scouts and their families were then treated to a fish fry to demonstrate how something so fun to catch could result in a very tasty meal.—by Harold Kerns

Not known for his soloing, but more for his insane tone and rhythms, Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was a true Fender man, using the Jaguar Mustang and Stratocasters throughout his all-too-brief career.
The classic album Nevermind has the unmistakable sound of Fender all over it, including one of his guitars being reduced to splinters in the 'secret' track, "Endless, Nameless".
Unlike some of rock's purists, Cobain had a penchant for the left-handed Japanese Stratocasters of the period. This was due to two particular reasons, one, their availability and secondly, the guitars vintage-style small frets.
Availability was key, as Cobain's guitars would invariably be rebuilt at sometime in his possession, mainly as a result of Nirvana's unapologetic end of set demolition of instruments.
After Cobain's death in 1994, Fender released the posthumous Jag-stang signature model.
Fender delivered a prototype sonic blue Jag-Stang to Cobain in 1993, and he used this on tour in support of Nirvana's In Utero album.[x_video_embed type="16:9″][/x_video_embed]

The importance of maintaining dental health
One of the United States' leading dental organizations, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, indicates that roughly five percent of Americans – roughly 15 million individuals throughout the nation – have either crowns or bridges in replacement of absent teeth. Only people who have entire rows of missing teeth in at least one of their jaws are eligible for replacements like bridges and crowns; the American College of Prosthodontists indicate that about 35 million Americans fit this bill.
Even further – about one out of ten dentists in the United States install implants, though this number is steadily growing due to people living longer lives and ultimately losing more teeth.
What Are Crowns And Bridges??
Dental crowns are essentially snug-fitting caps that are placed over problematic teeth for both aesthetic and functional purposes. Bridges are sections of one or more fake teeth that are installed in the mouth via connecting to the two teeth nearest each end of the gap in question.
Are Crowns And Bridges Implants?
Although they might seem like implants – after all, they're artificial and implanted into patients' mouths – bridges and crowns are not actually implants.
Dental implants are – more or less – fake teeth that are surgically affixed to maxillofacial bones. Rather than simply latching on to visible, healthy teeth, the installation of dental implants involves drilling a hole deep into where the root of a tooth would be – that's if the tooth were not already extracted or missing – and affixing the screw-like dental implant deep into the gums and onto a bone.
Next, an abutment – it's a fancy medical term for connector – is secured to the implant. Lastly, a fake tooth that has been custom-made for your mouth is attached to the abutment.
Crowns, bridges, and implants might have been difficult to understand before, but they shouldn't be now. If you need a dental crown chicago il , you should be prepared now.

Ready, Set, Plan (Not Too Fast) How to Prepare the Foundation for an Annual Marketing Plan
I want to make it clear that I'm a Braves fan. That said, I love Yogi Berra quotes. In thinking about planning for the upcoming year, his quote "If you don't know where you are going you might wind up someplace else." This…actually makes perfect sense!
"Squirrel!" How to Avoid Common Distractions
I have an interesting perspective in talking to many different clients about goals. We often discuss goals at a smaller scale – initiative outcomes, quarterly objectives, and an individual's goals. But when it comes to annual planning, I find that nearly half of all marketers don't have a clearly defined plan for the year that aligns with the overarching company strategy. Let's face it, without an effective plan, it's impossible to run an efficient department or even see areas of risk clearly.
To avoid "not knowing where you are going," and gain that eagle-eyed marketing plan required to help you stay on course, here are a few common pitfalls you'll need to avoid:
Does your company let employees vote on themes? I'm all for employee involvement, and it's a neat way to brainstorm on campaigns and smaller initiatives, but when it comes to an annual plan, themes shouldn't be selected at random or by popular vote. Use your ICP, buyer personas, customer insights, attribution data – anything tangible by data besides popular vote – to determine what themes or message alignment are the most effective in your market.
Hot topics are "hot" for a reason, but they aren't one size fits all. Would ABM be a good model for you? Will investing in more technology help you move marketing generated leads to won deals quicker? Sometimes you have to look past the shiny thing.
Planning Too Much
I love lists and being productive fuels me, but this is the time to get the high-level goals in place…and make sure they're attainable. Many goals are dependent on other aspects being fully fledged and built and require alignment to the overarching company strategy. Our Revenue Acceleration Framework can be a helpful guide to determine where you have alignment and where you have missing pieces of the puzzle.
Ok, so where do you start?
Setting the Foundation for Effective Annual Planning
Now that you are aware of the pitfalls you'll encounter along the way, you'll want to put your back into the effort of gathering the information you need to start the planning process.
Past & Present
Numbers and data build cases for future decisions. This is the time to focus on last year's goals – Did you reach the goals you set a year ago? Why or why not?
After you look at the metrics, get input from those involved. These insights can add context to performance and outcomes. Take note of any in business goals or seasonality that could have shifted the plan.
Your hypothesis may be that your budget was too small, or that you missed opportunities because you didn't have the full tech stack, but this may point to other factors such as not enough talent to support the existing tech stack or use of the wrong channels in reaching your audience. Find your gaps and document them so that you can plan proactively around them in this year's annual plan.
Look to the Future
Build on top of your data points with situational analysis by evaluating the following:
- Business Model
- Consider: Shifts in goals and KPIs for the model, organizational structure, products/services, and market (including competitors, ICP, and messaging)
- External Factors
- Consider: Current events, economic trends and stories, and new channels or outlets.
This is also a chance to align with your executive team and get input into what's important and why. It's vital that marketers understand the overarching objectives of the executive 2-, 5-, 10-year plans and an effective marketing plan will incorporate those (with situational analysis and data research) into achievable annual goals.
Now You're Ready to Start Annual Planning
Now you're ready to get that plan together! Remember to take your time, pull in other "eyes" to provide input, be realistic, and be optimistic! Think of your plan as a roadmap, driving you towards a continually changing adventure. As you keep your eye on the end of the destination, you can always revisit the foundation you've built your plan upon when a dramatic shift in the market or business requires you to take a detour and evolve your plan. It will keep you agile and focused on achieving desired results.
Feeling stuck? Start your plan off on the right foot with our free revenue acceleration assessment. We'll help you determine where your team has set down a solid foundation and where you might need a little jumpstart. You are not alone, let's make 2019 a big year – together!

We're all going to Cardiff! We're all going to Cardiff! Where to start in a frenzied, euphoric week of celebration on buzzing Planet Boro?
So much has happened in a blurred Cardiff-bound riot of colour and noise that it is easy to forget how significant a seven days it really has been.
The club have booked a fourth final in eight years and suddenly a nondescript and frustrating term, fizzling out in the mid-table boredom zone, has dramatically exploded kicking, screaming and EIO-ing into exhilarating life.
Suddenly, from the frantic fringes of the relegation zone, we are poised once again on the verge of history.
And while Teesside swamps the switchboard of every hotel and B & B within 50 miles of the Millennium Stadium (anywhere so long as it's got a bar) and grapples with the logistics and finances of a 30,000-strong invasion of Wales, everything else has been put in suspended animation.
There has been an abrupt terrace sniping ceasefire as suddenly optimistic Boro supporters put aside a century of Chicken Run cynicism and unite around the conviction that this time surely, please God, victory will be ours.
Because dreams of glory and silverware are what football is about.
We are 90 minutes (or 120 plus penalties knowing Boro) away from making those long years of barren suffering worthwhile.
Let's look at a few snapshots of things that may have been lost in the raw-throated delirium of Tuesday's famous triumph over whinging Wenger...
POOR old Ricardinho!
Not another Brazilian World Cup winner? How blase can Boro fans get?
Instead of a big fanfare, a grand unveiling and a revival of that old Billingham College Samba beat, the signing of the Sao Paulo schemer was met with muted indifference and a certain scepticism.
"He's got too much baggage". "He's suspended in Brazil for an unpaid fine". "He's got a dodgy knee". "Wenger watched Reyes 40 times but we've just scanned through the video". "He's been linked with big clubs but no-one wants him..."
For goodness sake! He's a World Cup winner, he's left-sided, the Little Fella rates him, he cost nowt and he's only 27. What more do you want?
On the spectrum of Brazilian internationals he is far closer to Juninho than Branco.
'Hamilton' Ricardhino played alongside Juninho as Sao Paulo won the Brazilian title three years ago so he can't be a complete donkey.
If the worst you can say is that he can't get in the Brazilian team because of Emerson (the real one, not ours) then he has got to be worth a punt.
Besides, last year's deadline day swoop for an unknown Brazilian signing didn't turn out too badly did it?
IT has been a watershed week for the club - and particularly Steve McClaren.
In a big game blitz, his Boro side have delivered league safety and a shot at glory.
And they have also blasted away the critics calling for his head and secured his tenure next season and beyond.
Victory in Cardiff will cement him into the dug-out, ensure the freedom of the city and make him a candidate for a third statue at the Riverside.
But remember - just seven days ago when the dissenting factions of the tetchy Red Army were nervously fingering the hilts of the daggers ready to plunge them into Mac's back if Boro didn't beat Leeds?
After successive 4-1 demoralising thumpings by Arsenal and a frantic last gasp salvage job against Leicester seen by only the hardcore who didn't walk out in disgust, the scene was set for a terrace revolt against the manager.
Long rumbling discontent had burst into the open.
A strong and ever more vocal anti faction had been locked in bitter struggle with the loyalists in the pubs and clubs, on the internet and in the bearpit that is the Three Legends.
With a must win match looming against the rock-bottom crisis club and a slender semi-final lead to protect against an Arsenal reserve side that had dropped the tea lady for the #17m Spanish wonderkid, it was a week that would decide which way the wavers went.
Be in no doubt - had those matches been lost then, instead of gleeful planning and making banners, the week would have been dominated by recriminations, calls for the axe and making gallows.
How quickly things change. You are only as good as your last game - and in Mac's case that was a pulsating semi-final victory over Arsenal.
Now Mac is being hailed as the great leader who will take us to the Promised Land.
Criticise him? Not me mate. I've always said he was the main man.
And I was at the Brighton match. Honest guv.
THE PROSPECT of silverware is a great healer.
Boro's emotional polar opposites - the optimists and pessimists - have suspended their eternal historic bickering in favour of a big group hug.
The pro and anti-McClaren legions have laid down their cudgels and spiritually grabbed one end each of the new Come On Boro banner.
Even the boo-boys have stopped baiting Bolo. By the time we get to Cardiff the newly popular Dutch Master may even have his own song.
So, in the new spirit of unity and forgiveness, maybe it is time for Boro to bring Adrian Carr in from the cold.
The life-long Boro fan risks not seeing his beloved club win their first trophy.
Not just because he fell asleep at the match but also because he took his case first to the press and then to the courts, leaving the club looking heavy-handed and inflexible amid the 'Boring Boro' headlines.
Carr admitting having had six pints, but insisted he was not drunk. He was found guilty and given a conditional discharge earlier this week.
He plans to appeal - and the club will not even consider reinstating his ticket until the case is resolved.
No Red Book means he loses his priority and may have to take his chance in the scrum.
This was a case that should have been resolved early and with some positive spin, with the club asking Carr to apologise and in return get a stern lecture and his ticket back.
And it is not too late for that to happen. Having proved their point and publicly reinforced the ground regulations, maybe it is time for Boro to be magnanimous and offer a contrite Carr his Red Book - and his Cardiff dream - back.

then last night, as i was trying to figure out what i should write, i had a very peaceful & calming experience that made me realize that i truly did love my life.

The protein composition of wheat results from direct genetic control and in general is not affected by environmental conditions (e.g. location of year of growth). In addition, because wheat is essentially a self-pollinating plant, the protein composition of the different varieties of wheat remains stable for several plant generations. Therefore, the protein composition of a wheat can be used to characterize and thus to identify its variety.
Protein profiles can be obtained by carrying out polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) separations of the wheat gliadins. The polyacrylamide gels are stained to make the separated protein components visible. If such protein profiles are established for all wheat varieties which can be expected to occur in a particular region (i.e. a variety catalogue is prepared), the identification of an unknown variety of wheat can be established by reference to such a catalogue. Such a practice has been thoroughly characterized and is in common use in numerous countries.

Sodium tetraphenylborate (TPB) and cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) were used as titrant for the conductometric determination of diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH) drug through ion association complex formation and then the conductance of the solution is measured as a function of the volume of titrant. The effect of the solvent, reagent concentration, temperature and molar combining ratio of the formed ion-associates were studied and evaluated. The suggested method was applied for the determination of diphenhydramine hydrochloride in pure form and pharmaceutical preparations. The described procedures allowed the determination of the studied drug in bi-distilled water in the range of 0.75–16 mg. Statistical treatment of the experimental results indicates that the method is precise and accurate. The accuracy of the method was indicated by excellent recovery and the precision supported by the low relative standard deviation <1%. The sensitivity of the proposed method was discussed and the results were compared with the potentiometric pharmacopoeial method. The proposed procedure was simple, precise and low cost and can be applied for the routine measurements of the cited drug.

1931 Duesenberg Model J earns top honors at Classic Auto Show
(March 20, 2019) COSTA MESA, Calif. — A pristinely conditioned 1931 Duesenberg Model J earned the Award of Excellence: Grand Boulevard Walk of History honors at the third annual Classic Auto Show, held at the OC Fair & Event Center this past weekend. The honor capped a weekend celebration highlighted by record attendance, display of more than 1,500 rare vintage cars and the presentation of 25 awards.
The two-day festival kicked off with special appearance by Grand Marshal Adam Corolla, who hand-picked two vehicles from his private collection to display: Paul Newman's Championship Triumph TR6 and the Datsun 510 "Different Drummer" Trans Am. The weekend also featured interviews with automotive celebrities Dave Kindig, Wayne Carini, Mark Worman, Mike Finnegan, Bogi Lateiner, and Lyn St. James.
Showcasing classics from antiques and pre/post war to the hot rods, muscle cars, lowriders and Japanese imports that personify Southern California's iconic car culture, the two-day festival also featured an all-new "40 Shades of Green" collection to commemorate St. Patrick's Day on Sunday.
1931 Duesenberg Model J
The event also offered show-goers its popular Grand Boulevard, a display of 30 historically significant vehicles including the 1931 Model J Duesenberg, 1962 Fiat Jolly, 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spider, a 1941 Tatra T87, 1915 Pierce Arrow Model 48 Seven Passenger Suburban, 1976 Bricklin SV1 - the Canadian version of a DeLorean, and a 1956 Cadillac Limousine 7533 used under the dictatorship of Generalismo Francisco Franco, and more.
In addition, a dedicated marketplace with more than 150 exhibitors offered show-goers a first-hand look at the latest aftermarket products and services.
"The well documented love affair between Southern Californians and their cars, vans and trucks was in full-force this past weekend," said Michael Carlucci, senior vice president at LeftField Media, the show's producer. Thanks to our relocation to this new venue, we were able to offer show-goers an unprecedented selection of priceless vehicles and other attractions, all under sunny skies and perfect temperatures. We look forward to returning to the OC Fair & Event Center for years to come."

Click on the above map for a larger view.
Take a few seconds and familiarize yourself with the map. You should be able to locate the two lakes in the centre of Canavan Gracie Recreational Reserve, that most of Bells Reach and Arbour look blank and empty in the map, and find where Bellvista Blvd meets Caloundra Rd (the top end of the turquoise colored road).
The turquoise colored road is Bellvista Blvd. In the map it goes all the way south through Arbor and to where the bridge is currently under construction crossing the Lamerough Creek.
The red colored road is the Bells Creek Arterial, Stage 1 currently under construction and expected to be completed late 2016.
The orange colored road will be the interim connection road between the end of Bellvista Blvd and Bells Creek Arterial Stage 1 until the larger Bells Creek Arterial Stage 2 (the green section) is completed.
No new homes in Aura (Caloundra South) can be occupied until the red and orange sections have been completed and connected to the southern end of the turquoise colored Bellvista Blvd.
BeCA is currently lobbying for a connecting road from where the orange and turquoise roads meet, across to Pelican Waters Blvd. This road is in state government plans but it is not expected to be built for another 12 years or so. BeCA believes bringing forward the construction of this road would provide some relief to traffic congestion along Bellvista Blvd and Caloundra Rd.
The yellow spot DC just near the orange oval sign "Internal Connection Road" indicates where a shopping centre (or District Centre) approximately the size of the current Currimundi Shopping Centre will be built.
The green spot marked NS (and near the DC spot) are the sites for two new state schools, one is expected to be primary, the other secondary. 2018 is mooted as a possible opening date for a P-6 school.
The map below is a larger map of the whole Caloundra South Project. The original, if you wish to download it, is around 6MB and is a HD A3 publication.
The 32 million dollars referred to by Mal Brough at a recent "Listening Post Forum" meeting at the Bellvista Meeting Place was Federal funding to bring forward the construction of the purple section of Bells Creek Arterial to 'ASAP' rather than wait for Stockland to build it in stages. A possible road completion date would be sometime after 2026. Federal funding would be available as this road would remove some traffic from the Bruce Highway. The Bruce Highway is a Federal Government responsibility.
With BeCA's proposal of a Pelican Waters/Bellvista Blvd link road and the completion of the Bells Creek Arterial residents would see the completion of a new East/West corridor connection for the fast growing southern end of the Sunshine Coast. A new East/West corridor road would relieve traffic not only along Caloundra Rd, but some sections of the Bruce Highway as well.

Noise can be an extremely unpleasant thing to have to compete with in your home; given the right intensity and duration, noise can have major impacts on the human body by causing sleep deprivation and general disruption to your life. However Internorm windows with their incredible insulated frames and acoustically engineered glass can provide a solution to this problem.
The level of sound proofing a window has is measured in decibel. The higher the decibel number, the more soundproof a window is. dB values measure how much of the original sound energy travels through your window into your home. At an insulation of 10 dB 1/10 of the original sound energy passes through, at 20 dB 1/100, at 30 dB 1/1000 etc. If an Internorm has a dB value of 10 a human perceives this as halving the noise. The level Soundproofing a window can boast is dependent on the frame material, the type of glass, permeability of the window and the construction connection.

Ava is not designed to resolve fertility issues.
If you have a diagnosed medical condition that is making it difficult for you to get pregnant, Ava will not fix this.
However, if timing is the issue that's been making it challenge to conceive, Ava can definitely help for cycles that are between 24 – 35 days.
If your cycles are irregular but still fall within the 24 – 35 day range, Ava might still work for you.
Ava has not been tested for conditions that significantly impact ovulation such as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) or hypothalamic amenorrhea.
If you are taking medications to induce ovulation such as Femara and your cycles are between 24 – 35 days, Ava could work but it has not been tested with use of Femara.

The Fuller Projection forms a good backdrop for telling stories from the Cold War Era, like about those radomes, basically radar covers, with 3rd generation models in use even today. As Oregonians, it helps to see why that Lufthansa to Frankfurt takes such a northerly path, over Great Slave Lake by way of Calgary.
Dr. Chuck Bolton, emeritus in Sociology at PSU, brought me a recent Futurist article by one Marvin J. Cetron (Timeline for the Future... March-April, 2009). I scanned it over lunch and agreed it seemed pretty fanciful, not unusual in this genre. Science fiction is what you get whenever you write about some time beyond the present.
Transforming possibilities into realities is a kind of alchemy, with lots of psychological elements. The Jungians talk about sublimation a lot, even this late in the game. Strong concepts have a life of their own it seems. This doesn't mean psychology is all you'll need. On the contrary, you'll want to study chemistry, biology... art, ethics.
On the Wanderers list, I've been telling the story of FOSS (free and open source software), somewhat drawing from Revolution OS, a documentary. Grad students were tired of losing access to their favorite toyz, once ejected with a degree, and so used the Internet to collaborate on all the tools one would need to build an operating system (this was GNU-not-Unix), and then they built that operating system (which was Linux-also-GNU).
By keeping the generic power tools in the commons, everyone enjoys higher living standards right out of the gate. Those who put work into it, benefit from the work of that many more others. Those that don't put any work into it, still benefit as well, presumably add value in other ways besides committing to the kernel (something I've never done).
FreeBSD, OS X... Windows. There's lots more lore.
I also talk on the Wanderers list about about how we could be doing a lot more fun and informative storytelling if we'd deign to introduce SQL, a language for "keeping tabs":
You can't explain the world to children without talking about SQL. Not really. If this were a village, and you were the village elder, and you didn't have anything to say about core memes of the culture, left that to other elders, then we'd want to find those other elders. I have this "take me to your leaders" attitude, being fresh off the UFO (Princeton).I was yakking with Larry and Dave about OLPC:
On edu-sig (Python Nation), I tout MDPA i.e. multiple desktops per adult, thinking more of those NASA type mission control places ("control room" in the language of places). Park your laptops at the door when ye enter the workplace (or return them to the checkout clerk?).The XOs are really for children, not adults so much, or even teens. That doesn't mean they're not cool.
In Hillsboro, we liked having the Internet through a gateway with two subnets, so we could play IP routing games. We had a wifi option but student stations were on traditional ethernet, with an air gap between the lab and the rest of West Precinct.
I've been getting some good peer review from New Mexico on my nascent "geek versus nerd" distinction, an exercise in systematic ideology.
I'm mapping "geek versus nerd" to Terry' "engineering versus science" meme, which encourages practice, exercising of freedoms.
Brian wisely counsels against hubris.
I've got lots of mnemonics going. Mostly I'm working to recruit activists for our "circus" (an allusion to our geek heritage).

Winter Blues
Clocks Going Back – Does Winter Affect Your Mood?
At this time of year if I don't prepare myself I can be susceptible to the winter blues. I might feel ok till January but then I will feel tired and feel like hiding under the duvet till the snow drops appear in the Spring.
10 years back, I recognised this and invested in a lightbox. It transformed my winter mood. The winters I forgot about my light box same thing happened when January hit. I would think what is wrong with me, figure it out, start using the light box and energy lifted, was less sleepy and mood improved.
I have never been diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). NHS website describes it here. However, I do know my mood and energy levels dip as the days and nights start to get darker.
How I use my light box?
Switch it on first thing in the morning when I waken. You can buy alarm clocks that have this function built in. I put the TV on and watch 15 minutes of breakfast TV with light on. I then use the light again when I am getting myself ready, drying my hair and or putting on my make-up. A total of about 20-30 minutes daily.
A small study in 2009 saw that people who had depression who were exposed to bright light for 20, 40 and 60 minutes a day for several weeks experienced a drop in their depression symptoms. There was no difference between the improvement in 40 and 60 minutes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2913518/
Last winter I had a great winter as far as mood and energy levels were concerned. I made a big effort to get outside more especially when it was sunny. Early morning light in particular can be helpful as it acts similarly to the lightbox. I also started using the box from September.
Seasonal eating is something else I have embraced and having a local farm deliver their fresh fruit and vegetables makes that a whole lot easier. When it gets cold I stop eating salads. This time of year, the box contains parsnips, beetroot, butternut squash, carrots and Jerusalem artichokes. These are great for adding to hearty, comforting meat and or vegetable casseroles.
I keep saying it but keeping protein levels up are really important for mood. In College a wise lecturer told us that protein was a grounding food. And it so is. We make brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, some you will have heard off ;
- Serotonin is needed for mood, sleep and appetite
- Dopamine gives us our get and go
- GABA keeps us cool, calm and collective
- Acetylcholine is involved in memory and movement.

Road Bond Gravel
Road Bond is type of machine crushed stone, rather than round rock. This gravel has an angular, triangle shape and will lock together on a driveway, unlike round rock which slips, creating an unstable surface.
Creek Stone, for example, is NOT appropriate for a driveway. Road bond is used as a base for anything that has to be compacted to a hard surface.

The recent spate of shamings of public figures over sexual misconduct has many companies and organizations in panic mode.
After all, if well-known, respected and seemingly innocuous figures like Charlie Rose and Garrison Keillor can have their careers and reputations tanked due to sexual harassment allegations, who's to say that something similar won't happen to key figures in your workplace?
Frankly, companies and organizations are right to worry. This is a serious business issue that affects the reputation of the entire organization, not just the accused. If you haven't paid much attention to the threat of toxic behavior like sexual harassment in the past, consider this your official wakeup call.
As terrible as the behavior that sparked the #MeToo movement has been, many organizations will greatly benefit from the publicity of these scandals. Each one presents a real and compelling example of how this harassing behavior develops, and each one clearly illustrates the damaging consequences of such harassment.
Failing to leverage the #MeToo movement for its relevance and its sense of urgency will be a big missed opportunity. Your organization should use the power of recent scandals to underscore the following factors in your organization's sexual harassment training.
Explain the Role of Power
Sexual harassment can come in many forms, and it happens in all workplaces. But pretty much every instance shares a common factor: People only do it when they're very confident that they can get away with it with no repercussions.
In many cases — especially the ones that tend to make the headlines — the perpetrators truly believed they were untouchable throughout their organization. It's easy to see why they thought that; after all, they got away with their behavior for years, building up to the most egregious behavior over time. No one held them accountable, either because the money or prestige they were responsible for allowed them to get special treatment, or because of the power they personally leveraged over victims to keep them quiet.
However, harassment certainly isn't isolated to "big shot" employees at the highest levels of leadership. As we mentioned in our article Sexual Harassment: Where to Start and Why it Matters, "power occurs wherever and whenever someone in the workplace has a sense that they can control the career, destiny, or opportunities of another person." That can be a simple manager/managee relationship, or even a peer who has developed a sense of immunity from consequences, perhaps because they know they'll be trusted over their victim.
People tend to assume that the more power they get, the less vulnerable they'll be. But the truth is that the higher up they go in an organizational hierarchy, the more people are watching them, and the bigger news any missteps become once they become public.
Your organization's sexual harassment training should delve into the topics of power dynamics. This will help everyone understand how they create the perfect breeding ground for potential sexual harassment, the behavior expected of anyone who manages or has power over others, and the measures that will keep all leaders accountable and on their best behavior.
Advocate for Shared Responsibility
Among the horrifying #MeToo stories that have surfaced in recent months, it became clear in almost every instance that there were plenty of colleagues who knew about the bad behavior but didn't do anything about it. Some seemed to actively enable the behavior, some turned a blind eye, and some tried to help how they could under the radar.
These stories drive home the fact that it really takes an entire community of people for bad behavior in the workplace to thrive.
It's easy to blame these bystanders or assume they were somehow complicit, but there are often many more common and sympathetic explanations. Specifically, bystanders may not have known how to report the behavior, or assumed that reporting it would put their livelihoods at risk, or simply didn't think that reporting it would result in any lasting change. (Related: Understanding the Bystanders' Role in Sexual Harassment)
Making sure that people in positions of power get sexual harassment training certainly doesn't hurt, but it's very ineffective on its own. After all, as ELI founder Stephen Paskoff was quoted in this New York Times article, it's unlikely that Harvey Weinstein would have been converted after a cursory sexual harassment training.
The stories that have emerged from the #MeToo movement clearly illustrate a need to shift the responsibility for sexual harassment prevention from the individuals directly involved in any unwelcome behavior to the workforce as a whole. Each employee should understand that they have a role to play in sexual harassment prevention, and they should have a clear idea of how to do that, whether it's making sure that their subordinates all feel comfortable, understanding how to report unethical behavior, or using tactics to notice and diffuse uncomfortable situations among coworkers.
Obviously, this shared accountability can only happen when organizational leaders are willing to do the hard thing and consistently enforce behavior that's in line with company values at every level of employment.
Take a Proactive Approach
More and more companies are learning that it's no longer enough to compose a legally-reviewed sexual harassment policy, require some training, establish a reporting system, and wait for reports to roll in.
After all, many if not most of the companies and organizations that we've seen take a hit from #MeToo stories had all of those things, and they obviously didn't prevent the behavior.
As many savvy leaders now understand, it's a mistake to assume everything is fine in the absence of official sexual harassment reports. That's because once a complaint is made — if one is ever made — the behavior in question has already done plenty of damage.
Employees tend to downplay or even ignore problem behavior for a while. Most people don't want to bother with it, or they're are afraid of the effect it will have on their career. They often don't submit with an official report until things have escalated into a serious problem. At that point, the problem has already majorly disrupted productivity and may have even become illegal.
It's a much better approach to proactively gauge whether your workforce feels safe and welcoming, and then work to resolve any potential problem behavior right away, such as with improved training or more investigation.
We Can Help
ELI specializes in helping companies and organizations prevent the sort of sexual harassment crises that so many others have been experiencing lately.
We do this by helping leaders define the behaviors that they do want to see, then helping employees practice those behaviors in simulated environments. This way, they'll know exactly how to handle problematic situations when they arise in their real office.
This kind of training won't just help your organization avoid the sexual harassment crises that the #MeToo movement helped expose. This training and the improved behavior that results form it will also improve your bottom line. When your workplace is welcoming and civil, your employees do better work and stay at their jobs longer.When your workplace is welcoming and civil, your employees do better work. Click To Tweet
Our training has been recognized by the EEOC for the impact it's had within the federal government, and we offer a suite of related services that help build this civil treatment workplace. Click here to learn more about our products, or request a quote today.

If you could spot potential cavities early, do you think that it would positively impact your oral health? If you said yes, you're right! The ability to spot cavities early on helps both you and our dentists eradicate the bad possibilities they present.
But is it possible to catch cavities early on without a dental degree? As a matter of fact, it is. You just need to know what to look for. In this post, we'll take a look at some of the things you can do to spot potential cavities early on.
Spontaneous pain
A major indicator of a cavity is spontaneous pain. This can come in bursts or be more of a lingering toothache. Generally, though, your tooth pain will seem to have come from nowhere and may present itself in one or more teeth. Spontaneous pain is a sure sign that your tooth has some sort of cavity.
Sensitive teeth
Tooth sensitivity can be extremely uncomfortable or even painful. If your teeth feel more sensitive than normal, especially to hot or cold temperatures,then there is a good chance that you may have a cavity. However, many people have naturally sensitive teeth. If this is you, it can be more difficult to differentiate between what's normal and what can be a cavity. If you have any concerns, come visit SeaSide Dentistry and talk with our dentists.
Stained teeth
Your teeth can get stained from several different things, but if you don't eat teeth-staining food or use tobacco and notice a new stain on your tooth, it could be a cavity. Cavity stains can come in several different colors, including brown, black and white. These stains won't go away on their own, which means that you will need to meet with Dr. Donna Gentry for your professional cavity treatment.
Understanding the warning signs of cavities is a great way to avoid them. If you would like to learn more about how you can maintain good oral health in Cedar Point, North Carolina, or to schedule an appointment, call us today at 252-764-2784.

by Jolin Brandes —
The world is changing so quickly that we can get thrown into reactionary states over the smallest things. Someone says something just the wrong way, and we feel our emotions getting triggered.
As the sun produces larger and larger solar flares, its intense rays of light pass through us. This unearths many old thoughts and emotions that we have stored in our energetic fields for lifetimes. This happens so that we can release the old baggage that no longer serves us.
We may have frequent thoughts such as: I am not good enough; I am not loved unless I do what I am told; I feel left out; why am I not being respected or listened to? There is so much to do, how can I get it all done? Most of us have felt this way at one time or another, and as a result, we may start to react or shut down.
Do you know that when you have those thoughts and then wrap the emotions of anger, frustration, fear, jealousy, guilt, shame, sadness and/or depression around them, you just attract more of the same? Thoughts are electric, and emotions are magnetic.
When you think a thought and put the emotion around it, you are going to attract that kind of experience. And as it gets more intense, you may be feeling as if you will explode emotionally. You will also feel it physically. Our thoughts create vibrations that resonate with emotions, which manifest into a reality that we call life experience or physicality. This is a scientific fact.
The following is a very simple yet powerful game changer to help you in your everyday life and some support to help shift this "stuff" that gets us upset and feeling down — a technique to assist with any emotional overwhelm.
The Vortex Qigong Technique
First, put all eight fingertips and two thumb tips together — left-hand fingertips and thumb touching the right-hand fingertips and thumb. Now bring your index fingertips down, touching the thumb tips, making a bow in front of your face. The other six fingertips are standing straight up. Go ahead and put those fingertips together. Now ask yourself on a scale from 1 to 10 — 10 being the highest, over-the-top state of overwhelm — where are you? A number will pop into your head.
Sit there, and just feel and think about a situation that is causing you to be upset as you hold these finger positions. Stay with the feelings and go fully into the upset, whether it is big or small. So often we try to ignore our feelings. This time stay with your feelings and get into them. Ever hear the saying, "The only way through it is to let yourself feel it"? Do this for a few minutes until you feel energy building between your hands. Then open the two little fingers and let the energy drain (like water pours out from a teapot) until you feel a shift in your thought process.
Now, open up your fingers and thumbs away from your body to release that energy. Sit for a few minutes and ask yourself: "On a scale from 1 to 10, how does that situation feel?" Chances are you may have gone from a 7 or 8 to a 2 or 3. In a few minutes more, you may not have any energy about those feelings at all. They have left your mind, your body and your energy field, and you are now able to choose a different way of being and let some happy thoughts in. You will have more happy and peaceful thoughts because these thoughts and feelings will attract more of the same.
I hope this simple qigong technique will help you. We all deserve gifts to help us on our journeys. You need to feel the power of qigong for yourself. Remember there are more qigong techniques to help you with many other issues.

MOSCOW, January 21 /TASS/. The European Union does not have consensus on whether it should extend or lift the anti-Russian sanctions, Russia's Permanent Representative to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov said in an interview aired by the Rossiya 24 TV news channel on Wednesday.
"The specific nature of the European Union consists in the need of reaching consensus in making decisions - whether they concern the lifting or extension of sanctions, which are expiring in March," Chizhov said adding that in his view the European Union had no consensus on the matter of sanctions.
"That is why I have called your attention to a proposal made by (EU Foreign and Security Policy Chief Federica) Mogherini who suggests separating the penalties imposed after the return of Crimea (by Russia) from the rest of the sanctions. I think that this is exactly how the EU political thought is going to develop," Chizhov added.
"As for the Monday meeting of the European Union's foreign ministers, they did not fully support or turn down a proposal to increase pressure on Russia. The discussion that took place on Monday had been declared as a strategic discussion aimed at working out a long-term policy towards Russia. It would be wrong to expect them to make the final conclusion during one meeting. That is why the meeting ended with no conclusions," Chizhov went on to say.
"I suspect that this discussion will go on till the European Union summit due in March. It will coincide with the first anniversary of the anti-Russian sanctions. Let's wait and see where that will lead them to in March," Chizhov said adding that the European Union continued to lack political will to change its policy towards Russia.
"The European Union remains in captivity of its own convictions based on unilateral and one-sided information which does not correspond to reality in many ways," Russia's ambassador to EU said.
"The European Union has not yet gathered a political will to get off the track on which it is moving. It does not mean that hawks are dominating in the EU. But those who understand the need of a political dialogue with Russia are not converting their thoughts into practical actions," Chizhov said.
Restrictive measures against the EU
Russia will lift its restrictive measures against the EU as soon as the latter revokes its anti-Russian sanctions, Chizhov said. "Russian manufacturers will get an opportunity to occupy places in the market as a result the measures taken in response," he said.
"This doesn't mean however that Moscow introduced its restrictive sanctions forever because our prohibitions will go as soon as they lift their own sanctions," Chizhov said.
