15 Days Without a Head
The trouble begins when Laurence's mom disappears or runs away. We don't really know why she doesn't come home, and the hours turn into days. Laurence, the older brother, is left to care for his bratty baby brother. He misses school, scrounges for money for food, dodges neighbors, lies and searches for his mother, all while trying to win a vacation through a radio contest. It sure is convenient he has phone cards to use at the booth! Although all the focus is placed on Laurence and his brother's two-week struggle, I was left wondering what drove the single mother to do what she did? The obvious assumption provided by the author is depression and addiction, but the actual turning point and precise moment when the decision is made to abandon the children is never witnessed. I believe a missed opportunity happened here. If included, it would have contributed incredibly to the story, both emotionally and psychologically. Without this experience, as a reader, my sympathy was lessened and my understanding, diminished. I felt I needed to see more, feel more and understand the mother better in order to relate to Laurence's bond and loyalty. Sure I cared, but I wasn't all that invested. 15 Days Without A Head is a decent, steady read that would fit well in a school library or used as a classroom reader. In fact, it's as if the book was purposefully written with this demographic in mind. I wouldn't be surprised if this one ended up on summer reading lists and those approved to be selected for book reports. It touches on several domestic issues that impact families, but without the nitty-gritty imaginary that could ruffle educational planning boards. Simply put, this book is as safe as an after school special, but does it really portray reality? It provides obvious themes that can be easily selected for discussion without profound exploration. The plot leads to formulaic questions such as what should/could have Laurence done in this situation? What was the better choice? I understand some topics can pack a powerful punch without the use of over-the-top violence or shocking situations, but despite the subject matter, 15 Days Without A Head is too sterile and transparent for my taste. Compared to the newly released [b:Sketchy|17204240|Sketchy (Bea Catcher Chronicles, #1)|Olivia Samms|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1357160082s/17204240.jpg|23681623] by Olivia Samms, where thematically the multi-layered plot addresses issues of drug abuse, recovery and neglect in a way that is also neither too graphic or shocking, 15 Days Without A Head cannot contend with similar, but harder-working novels.

Join me today as I interview Jeff and Kathy McNair about what the Bible has to say about disability. Jeff is a highly regarded and recognized voice in issues regarding faith, theology, and disability.
From the show:
Churches do not often address issues regarding disability.
Disability often results in discrimination, even within the church. A good question for us to ask is, against whom are we discriminating? We are familiar with discrimination, but a group we rarely talk about when it comes to discrimination is individuals with disabilities.
The fact of the matter is no denomination is reaching out to people with disabilities and it's not just a blind spot, it is a point of disobedience. The only reason we think it is okay not to do something about it is because nobody else is either. If everybody in every church is not taking in people with disabilities, then nobody has to. It is a pervasive sin. It says we are not willing to love other people who appears to be different from us.
My dear brother and sisters how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over other people.
If we chose not to love specific neighbors, then who are we as the church? James 2:1 NLT
Christian churches have accessible bathrooms because the government forced us to, not because of a desire to reach out to people with disabilities.
Solutions can be simple, but they cause us to change our traditions.
How do we facilitate people with disabilities to express their gifting?
What supports do we need to have in place so they can serve?
What does the Bible have to say about disability, a mash dash through the Bible:
The whole Bible applies to everybody, including those with disabilities
Genesis 2: We are created in the image of God people with disabilities are created in the image of God
Genesis 4: God does create people with disabilities and He accomplishes His purposes through them.
John 9: Disability is not a result of sin. We are all sinners, if disability was a result of sin, all our children would be disabled.
God places all parts of the Body, exactly where He wanted them to be.
Sometimes the different parts of the body tell other parts of the body, "You are not what I want you to be, you are not part of the body." Sometimes they've been told that so many times they come to believe that perhaps they are not part of the body. But all parts of the body are integral to the body or we cannot function as a body. The parts we think are less honorable, we are to treat those with special honor. What would it look like to treat someone with special honor? I change. I change in order to treat them with special honor.
Mark 7:8,14 says "You exchange the commands of God for the traditions of men."
"In order to integrate you I have to change everything the way I've been doing it, stick with my traditions. I will stick to my traditions and then exclude you."
What do you say when a church says, "I am not called" to disability ministry.
When 20% are individuals with disabilities with a larger number of people impacted by it, how can I say I am not going to reach out to those people? When pastors say "I am not impacted" that is not a positive thing to say.
Why will I not love you? Because you are going to cause me to change and change my traditions. You will cause us to becomes who we should become. You will cause us to learn how to love people.
The church is complicit in devaluing people.
Disability is just a characteristic, and often times it is no relevant to the interaction we have with others or for people to be part of the Body.
If we are missing people with disabilities, it points to the fact that we are not loving our neighbor.
A word of encouragement from Jeff:
In the last 10 years, positive changes have happened. And we get to be a part of what God is doing within churches to bring people with disabilities and include them in our faith communities.
This is God's time for this ministry.
Things are happening, things are changing.

|Ferric reductase genes involved in high-affinity iron uptake are differentially regulated in yeast and hyphae of Candida albicans.
|Jeeves, RE
Mason, RP
Woodacre, A
Cashmore, AM
|First Published:
|YEAST, 2011, 28 (9), pp. 629-644
|The pathogenic yeast Candida albicans possesses a reductive iron uptake system which is active in iron-restricted conditions. The sequestration of iron by this mechanism initially requires the reduction of free iron to the soluble ferrous form, which is catalysed by ferric reductase proteins. Reduced iron is then taken up into the cell by a complex of a multicopper oxidase protein and an iron transport protein. Multicopper oxidase proteins require copper to function and so reductive iron and copper uptake are inextricably linked. It has previously been established that Fre10 is the major cell surface ferric reductase in C. albicans and that transcription of FRE10 is regulated in response to iron levels. We demonstrate here that Fre10 is also a cupric reductase and that Fre7 also makes a significant contribution to cell surface ferric and cupric reductase activity. It is also shown, for the first time, that transcription of FRE10 and FRE7 is lower in hyphae compared to yeast and that this leads to a corresponding decrease in cell surface ferric, but not cupric, reductase activity. This demonstrates that the regulation of two virulence determinants, the reductive iron uptake system and the morphological form of C. albicans, are linked.

Barry Goldstein stated in his Times article that 40 states have determined that gender bias exists in their family court systems and are attempting to address the problem. An Equal Rights Amendment would not be a quick fix but would demand that laws be passed to stop this illegal discrimination against women, and by extension against children, in our family court systems.
For all of us.
Most of us have allowed ERA to become what many would call an outdated issue. But it is not. It was and remains a vitally important issue. House Joint Resolution 47 was introduced on March 8, 2011 to remove the arbitrary time limit Congress imposed on the ratification of ERA.
America is just three states away from ratifying an amendment that would guarantee Constitutional equality for all of its citizens, not just its male citizens. Please support this.

I like reading blogs. Its like finding new friends all the time. Or reading a book, and if you don't like where it is going, just laying it down and never picking it back up again. But, on the other hand, if you like the characters, its like a book that you ADORE and you never have to read that last word! I mean, doncha hate it when you finish a fantastic book and you actually MISS the people in the book? Like you want to be their friend and be on their Christmas card list, and all of the sudden they are gone from your life forever because they were only characters in a book and the book is over. You finished reading it. And it stinks. Only book lovers would understand. They get me.
Anyway, where was I going with this? Oh yes. I was saying I like reading blogs. But, its quite easy to create a false-world on a blog. You can post about your perfect children, your winning contest entry, your perfectly baked bread, the bestest most sunny day ever, your excellent garden, sweetest and most handsome husband......you get the idea.
My life? Not a hallmark card. Not predictable and ordered and alphabetically arranged. It has AWESOME moments and I am totally blessed beyond measure, no question. And I love my life! But I am flawed. Step through those doors (watch for dead shrew my cats carry in) and welcome to the real world! My children sometimes drive me crazy and I yell at them, especially before I have my coffee. And I drink too much coffee, and own tons of shoes I don't wear, and have an entire attic of "keepsakes" because everything I have ever owned or the children wore, touched, made, looked at, or chewed up is a keepsake, and I cannot stand to touch dirt, and I scream at spiders. Even the tiny ones. I don't make perfect bread. I don't make any bread, but if I did it would not be perfect. Ok, I do make banana bread but that is because I am very good at letting fruit rot. And then you have to do something with it.
I kill plants. I could murder a silk flower by looking at it. I have droopy pansies because we have not had enough sun, and I walk around and talk to them and give them pep talks.
Did I mention how much I miss the sun? Oh not yet? Because my husband says I say it about every five minutes. And speaking of him, he is totally cute and a super charmer and a way cool pilot but he drives me crazy sometimes. Oh I drive him nuts too. He calls me his Princess, but not in a good way. Not in a "You are my princess and I worship you and I am your Prince" kind of way but in a "Oh dear, my Princess needs a rescue..again? I told you not to run the car out of gas" kind of way. Well ok. Sometimes he says Princess in a way that says he would marry me all over again. And that makes me melt. If its after my coffee, that is.
I am a terrible night owl too. So if tomorrow I want to take it all back, please let me. Especially before my coffee kicks in.

"Perfect" blogs are fun to read occasionally, but I agree, the real life stuff is what keeps you coming back- someone to relate to.
I'm a little too good at keeping it real, I think. Sometimes I think I should only post the good stuff. lol
I'm off to browse the rest of your blog now (clicked over from 2 peas)

Android was born on November 5, 2007. Since then, it's grown up to be one of the most dominant operating systems in the world. But that didn't just happen overnight. Like all of us, Android went through some awkward years and learned some hard lessons before becoming the OS it is today. Here's a retrospective showing how we got to where we are. The first phone of android os was HTC DREAM.
Versions 1.0 and 1.1 were not released under specific code names. Android code names are confectionery-themed and have been in alphabetical order since 2009's Android 1.5 Cupcake, with the most recent major version being Android 7.0 Nougat, released in August 2016.
Global android version distribution since December 2009 [Source-Wikipedia]
CUPCAKE (Android -1.5)
On April 27, 2009, the Android 1.5 update was released, based on Linux kernel 2.6.27. This was the first release to officially use a codename based on a dessert item ("Cupcake"), a theme which would be used for all releases henceforth. The update included several new features and UI amendments
It had a support for third-party virtual keyboards (oh yeah, no more hardware keys!) and the ability to upload videos and photos to YouTube and Picasa. Oh, and it also got widgets!
Donut (Android-1.6)
On September 15, 2009, Android 1.6 – dubbed Donut – was released, based on Linux kernel 2.6.29. Included in the update were numerous new features.
This update brought along universal search, text-to-speech superpowers and CDMA compatibility (hello, Verizon).
Eclair (Android-2.0)
On October 26, 2009, the Android 2.0 SDK was released, based on Linux kernel 2.6.29 and codenamed Eclair.
The camera got a little TLC with some much needed flash support, digital zoom, and white balance features to name a few, and how about them live wallpapers! Google also put some thought into a smarter keyboard that could select contact names as suggestions. Not the biggest update in Android's history, but perhaps one the more deliciously named.
Froyo (Android-2.2)
On May 20, 2010, the SDK for Android 2.2 (Froyo, short for frozen yogurt) was released, based on Linux kernel 2.6.32.
The speed boost in 2.2 is fantastic, but what makes Froyo a truly great update is that it tightens bolts all across the entire platform. Android has evolved into a real product, on a totally different level than its first year….Android 2.2 is the first version of Android that feels totally complete—it performs like it should and it has most of the features it should. It's not quite at the point my mother could use it without a precarious learning curve, but you can see how it's going to get better. It's safe to say that with Froyo, Android has become something that most people really can use—and love.
Gingerbread (Android-2.3)
On December 6, 2010, the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) SDK was released, based on Linux kernel 2.6.35.
Google finally took a moment to look at form in late 2010. The user interface was overhauled with a darker theme that also continued Android's speed uptick. But that didn't mean new features completely disappeared. Android added support for NFC, the super useful download manager, and even simple things like improved copy and paste.
On February 22, 2011, the Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) SDK – the first tablet-only Android update – was released, based on Linux kernel 2.6.36. The first device featuring this version, the Motorola Xoom tablet, was released on February 24, 2011.
Honeycomb primarily focused on one thing and one thing only—tablets. The iPad released only months earlier in the fall of 2010, and Android needed an OS that could compete in a bigger form factor not fit for your pocket. This included what Google called a "Holographic" interface and a more intuitive keyboard for bigger devices.
Ice Cream Sandwich(Android-4.0)
The SDK for Android 4.0.1 (Ice Cream Sandwich), based on Linux kernel 3.0.1,was publicly released on October 19, 2011. Google's Gabe Cohen stated that Android 4.0 was "theoretically compatible" with any Android 2.3.x device in production at that time. The source code for Android 4.0 became available on November 14, 2011. Ice Cream Sandwich was the last version to officially support Adobe Systems Flash player.
Jelly Bean (Android-4.1)
Google announced Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) at the Google I/O conference on June 27, 2012. Based on Linux kernel 3.0.31, Jelly Bean was an incremental update with the primary aim of improving the functionality and performance of the user interface. The performance improvement involved "Project Butter", which uses touch anticipation, triple buffering, extended vsync timing and a fixed frame rate of 60 fps to create a fluid and "buttery-smooth" UI. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean was released to the Android Open Source Project on July 9, 2012, and the Nexus 7 tablet, the first device to run Jelly Bean, was released on July 13, 2012.
Kitkat (Android-4.4)
Google announced Android 4.4 KitKat on September 3, 2013. Although initially under the "Key Lime Pie" ("KLP") codename, the name was changed because "very few people actually know the taste of a key lime pie." Some technology bloggers also expected the "Key Lime Pie" release to be Android 5. KitKat debuted on Google's Nexus 5 on October 31, 2013, and was optimized to run on a greater range of devices than earlier Android versions, having 512 MB of RAM as a recommended minimum; those improvements were known as "Project Svelte" internally at Google. The required minimum amount of RAM available to Android is 340 MB, and all devices with less than 512 MB of RAM must report themselves as "low RAM" devices.
Android 5.0 "Lollipop" was unveiled under the codename "Android L" on June 25, 2014, during Google I/O. It became available as official over-the-air (OTA) updates on November 12, 2014, for select devices that run distributions of Android serviced by Google, including Nexus and Google Play edition devices. Its source code was made available on November 3, 2014. Lollipop features a redesigned user interface built around a responsive design language referred to as "material design". Other changes include improvements to the notifications, which can be accessed from the lockscreen and displayed within applications as top-of-the-screen banners. Furthermore, Google made internal changes to the platform, with the Android Runtime (ART) officially replacing Dalvik for improved application performance, and with changes intended to improve and optimize battery usage, known internally as Project Volta.
Android 6.0 "Marshmallow" was unveiled under the codename "Android M" during Google I/O on May 28, 2015, for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 phones, Nexus 9 tablet, and Nexus Player set-top box, under the build number MPZ44Q. The third developer preview (MPA44G) was released on August 17, 2015 for the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player devices, and was updated to MPA44I that brought fixes related to Android for Work profiles.
It comes with some awesome additions, including a new way of handling app permissions, a new and improved Google Now, and official fingerprint sensor support. Google's also improved battery life with Doze and bundling in the Android Sensor Hub in its latest Nexus smartphones, meaning you should be able to survive the day without needing to pull out a charging cable
Nougat (Android-7.0)
Android "Nougat" (codenamed N in-development) is the major 7.0 release of the Android operating system. It was first released as a developer preview on March 9, 2016, with factory images for current Nexus devices, as well as with the new "Android Beta Program" which allows supported devices to be upgraded directly to the Android Nougat beta via over-the-air update. Final release was on August 22, 2016. The final preview build was released on July 18, 2016, with the build number NPD90G.
The big update is multi-windowed support, meaning apps can finally be used in split screen views.
Android "O" (Android-8.0)
Android "O" is the working title of an upcoming release of the Android mobile operating system. It was first released as an alpha quality developer preview on March 21, 2017.
Thanks for reading. Keep in touch.

Taiwanese master baker, Chang Chun-kaiBy Rigche Ma
The humble loaf, lauded as the staple of life in many cultures, has proven its prowess beyond borders. As famed Taiwanese master baker, Chang Chun-kai, reveals, traditionally Western-styled breads had successfully integrated into Asian societies, both as a snack and as part of a meal. Bakeries serving breads of distinct east-west flavors and textures are a common sight from the suburban streets of Singapore to the crowded cities in China. Baking bread had been elevated to high art, seeing Taiwanese, Japanese and Korean representatives at international bake-offs as consumer's expectations rise and tastes buds are refined. Asian Fusion probes deeper into the intricacies of a master baker's journey and offers some insight into the bread trade.
AF: Was it the smell of freshly baked bread that first lured you into the kitchen?
CC: No. It was in high school, back in Taiwan. I had friends who were baking apprentices. I joined them out of curiosity and just plain playfulness.
AF: Bread makes the world go round. In your case, bread also took you around the world.
CC: It did. It open doors to me and took me to interesting places. I spent 2 years as an apprentice to the renowned baker Wang Fushou, at the luxurious Lai Lai Hotel, which later became the Sheraton. And then I spent the next 6 years learning various techniques at more than 10 bakeries in Taiwan. I was offered the position of master chef, to be in charge of all baked goods at Giovanni, one of the best Italian restaurants in Taiwan. I spent 8 years there, where I created and perfected a cheesecake recipe, before I was headhunted by top management to oversee the opening banquet of Taipei 101 – a Taiwanese landmark building, which enjoyed the title of the world's tallest building for some years. They were connoisseurs looking for a really good baker, top of the field, and they saw many other candidates from all over the world. They kept coming back to the restaurant where I was, and even made friends with my bosses at Giovanni. Finally when they offered me the position, they spent another 3 months convincing my bosses and me. It was a very good offer, no doubt – a master baker's dream. I was reluctant to leave for sentimental reasons. I only stayed at Taipei 101 for 4 years – leading the baking department of the upscale supermarket, Jason's, before I was headhunted again. This time, I went to Vietnam, to oversee a chain and later, I was sent to China to oversee productions for hotels and airlines.
AF: That's an illustrious career. But, what makes good bread?
CC: In my experience, the concept of good bread varies from people to people. One can talk about the ingredients, the methodologies, the chewiness, crustiness, and even crunchiness, but it all boils down to a matter of taste, in every sense of the word.
AF: The conscientious and skillful baker knows a true masterpiece leaves a lingering memory long after the food is gone and digested. How does one achieve this?
CC: It is a disciplinary matter of experience and precision, together with the right ingredients and equipment.
AF: Beside a lingering memory, what aftertastes would you like to leave for posterity?
CC: Anyone can meticulously study the methods, commit all the techniques to heart, and accumulate any amount of experience, but then, if one wants to go beyond, and perhaps enter into the role deserving of the title 'master baker', it takes guts and creativity. One has to discard all that was previously learned. Instead, one's intuition must lead. Of course, this can only be done after much rigorous training.
AF: Did you learn this from one of your many masters?
CC: No. I discovered this myself. This is my theory, which I impart to my students.
Master baker Chang, more affectionately known as Lao K, is celebrated among his peers as
a top tier baker. Widely traveled and closely familiar with the industry across many parts of Asia, he is also respected for his keen grasp on the commercial business of baked-goods, bakeries and baking.

'Ello little ones. Today I wanted to chat with you about essay advice. I went out for my morning jog this morning and slung on my boyfriend's hoodie. I'm surprising myself at how well I'm committed to running at the moment. Trust me, it won't last very long so I'm certainly making the most of it. Sam's at home at the moment, working hard on his dissertation in International Politics. Thankfully I avoided doing a diss and instead did two big practical modules. I honestly don't think I'd have what it takes to do a dissertation. I wouldn't have known what to do it on and I've only just this year managed to get firsts on most of my essays. That's another great thing that's happened in my final year. In education, I've rarely been able to reach top A grades but for some reason, in my final year of university, I have done. I must have finally managed to crack the marking system because bar one essay, I've got firsts in everything. It'll be a very close call to see whether I graduate with a 2:1 or a First.
The weather wasn't great this morning, quite dull compared to yesterday which was nice and hot! Today's schedule is a busy one as I'm recording and editing the clothes haul to put on my channel this evening! I also need to do my Applied Essay which is due in on the 6th May and I have rehearsals this evening! What a busy woman I am! I find that when I finally organise myself and push myself, I manage to achieve great things but it's the motivation that I lack and something that I need to work on considerably to get where I need to be. I certainly need to do this when it comes to my acting. I need to work hard because the castings aren't going to find me, I've got to find them myself!
Using my miraculous firsts for the greater good I thought I'd give out a little bit advice for anyone at university who is struggling with writing essays at the moment. My tops tips would be to make sure you make a plan and research first before you start writing your essay. It's always better to have too much research than too little. Having too little can cause repetition in your essay which obviously loses you marks. My second bit of advice would be to make sure your essay has a point to it. Whether it's an English essay on a certain book or a history essay based on a certain event, always make sure your essay flows and has a sense of direction. Propose an argument and give your opinions that either agrees or disagrees with others. Finally, don't allow pride or consider it cheating to ask others for help both from your year or the years above. We as humans, learn from lessons. Well, I do, anyway. For me, to be told to write an essay without no guidance is a pointless task. How am I going to learn if my mistakes aren't amended or corrected?
This is what I found to be a negative aspect of university. I think during the first year you should be allowed to send your draft version of an essay to your tutor to give you advice on how to improve it. That way in your remaining years, you have the opportunity and no excuse to improve upon your writing skills. So ask someone if you're unsure, don't feel as if you're cheating if you ask for help.
Do you have any essay advice? Let me know in the comments below.

"BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH" HABITS can be become "had-its"
I feel compelled to spill the beans.
I had no intentions of writing a blog post today. But in the past hour or so I started having this really strong urge to do this. I know that there are no accidents, and so I believe that what I am about to highlight will touch someone in some way.
Sometime today, a youngster read an article I had written about refined sugar and nonchalantly said that, he must have his sugar because it is addicting. While this blog is not about refined sugar, I have to ask: Is there anything that is addicting that is good for you? My thoughts are that even if it is something good initially, too much of a good thing can be bad. And too far east is west. Ponder on that and give me your thoughts. "Bad for Your Health" habits can be Broken.
But this got me to thinking that if it were not for my dear mother and children, I may have still been a smoker. Probably not; I think I may have slapped myself upside the head by now, if my mother didn't do it, after she became over frustrated with me "pretending to be a smoker and looking as ugly as ever smoking." I can hear her like it was yesterday.
So in honor of "Mother's Day" I want to tell you about my nicotine addiction. I was seventeen and in the final year of high school, when I went on a picnic with classmates and followed others to smoking. From that day on, I was a smoker. At first, only at parties and picnics, and when I was in the company of smokers. Then to sneaking at home, and onto being a full- fledged smoker. I was addicted to the point of I would refuse to eat if I did not have cigarettes. I would go ballistic when I went to my mother's house and she and my sister conspired to seek out and hide my cigarettes.
Bad Momma!!!
When I was pregnant the first time, I knew I had to take a break, and it was relatively easy. As a matter of fact, I never touched the poison again until my son was seven months old and stopped nursing.
My second pregnancy, I again stopped smoking, but this time, the urges were greater. I bought cigarettes and had them waiting when I returned from the hospital. I smoked while nursing, and as often as I wanted to. So when I discovered that my baby was asthmatic about one year into his life, I knew what had caused it. He and I suffered through that episode for many years until he grew out of it. Even though I never discussed it with anyone, I knew what was the cause.
Wise Children!!!
I have no idea where this wisdom came from, but from a very early age my kids started nagging me, begging me, to stop smoking. They were afraid it was going to kill me all that good stuff. At one time I stopped, and immediately started to gain weight, so my smart- aleck self, decided that the fat was just as deadly as the tar and the nicotine, so I may as well smoke. Excuses, excuses. They are the fastest things to find and cost nothing more than a weak mind. If you want to stop smoking, this product can help curb your cravings, and prevent weight gain.
I stopped and started about three times until the final time. I know what addiction is. I know what it is like to battle those demons, in case anyone thought that I always knew what is good for me. No I am just a person who decided to make better choices.
My final attempt, and success, to quit smoking was a made- up mind. I had gone to college in the USA. Two things made up my mind for me. Actually, three. Firstly, it started to get cold around December. (Hey, when you are from the tropics, anything less than 70degrees is cold.) There was a rule that no smoking is allowed in any buildings. So I found myself standing outside doors to get in a smoke between classes. I got to know all the smokers on the campus, because we congregated on the outside of doors. I still remember Marsha from Student Services. There was no enjoyment or calming in having a cigarette while shivering from the cold. It defeated the purpose. I guess I hated the cold more than I liked smoking.
Second reason; the mentholated cigarettes I smoked cost way more there than they did in Barbados. Back then, I still had the tendency to convert all prices to Barbados money, and I asked myself if I was crazy to pay so much for cigarettes.
And thirdly, I was feeling a bit guilty for going away to school and leaving my babies with my mother. And so I thought that if I stopped smoking it would make them all happy.
So by the time I returned to school after Christmas break, I had made up my mind. I set a date. End of the month it was all over. And every day I counted down to my quitting. I conditioned my mind, so that by the time the end of the January came, so did my smoking addiction. In a couple of weeks, I couldn't stand the scent of smoke. I smoked for twenty one years. I haven't smoked for 18. It takes a trigger for me to even remember that I was once hopelessly addicted to the act of smoking. Living proof that Bad Habits can be Broken.
In honor of "Mother's day" let me say "Thank you Mother, Thank you boys."
And to anyone who has an addiction, or a compulsion, or a dangerous habit, do take it seriously. Whether it is nicotine, refined sugar, refined carbs, chemical sweeteners, fried foods, salt, what- ever you think you can't live without. Think about it down the road, and the damage that it is doing constantly and continuously.
It is not easy to overcome, but it is very possible. I will follow up tomorrow with a post on the dangers of smoking and what it does to your body and the immediate environment. (Second- hand and third- hand smoke)

THE PAMIRI HOUSE PM00000020000002331 7, 2008Posted by Mыsofer in wakhan.
Tags: pamir, wakhan, wakhi
One of the most important repositories of the culture of the Pamirs is the traditional Pamiri house, locally known as 'Chid'. It embodies elements of ancient Aryan philosophy – including Zoroastrianism – many of which have since been assimilated into Pamiri Ismaili tradition. What to the untrained eye looks like a very basic – even primitive – structure, is, for the people who live in it, rich in religious and philosophical meaning. The symbolism of specific structural features of the Pamiri house goes back over two and a half thousand years.
The house itself is the symbol of the universe and also the place of private prayer and worship for Pamiri Ismailis – the Ismailis have as yet no mosques in Gorno-Badakhshan. The layout of the house is as described below, although some houses have a mirror-image of what is described.
The Pamiri house is normally built of stones and plaster, with a flat roof on which hay, apricots, mulberries or dung for fuel can be dried.

Wow this was interesting!

Monroe – Birthplace of the Michigan Wine Industry
By Kevin and Sarah Nash
The 2nd annual Monroe Wine Crawl is next Friday, July 18. Although the event is already sold out I thought it would be a good excuse to do a post on Monroe's wine history. Have you ever wondered why a town founded by the French on the River Raisin seems to have little to no wine industry? Would you be surprised to find out Monroe in fact did have a wine industry and that it was the Traverse City of it's day. I know you feel puzzled, what you thought was reality has been turned on it's head. I feel like I did when I found out that Frank Sinatra was married to Harpo Marx's ex-wife (which is true). So what happened Monroe?! You used to be cool.
I came across a book a few months ago called, "The History of Michigan Wines" By Lorri Hathaway and Sharon Kegerreis which detailed the startling facts.
When Michigan became a state in 1837, Monroe was one of the largest cities. According to the book, Within a few decades Monroe became the birthplace of Michigan's commercial wine industry.
It started with Joseph Sterling who arrived in Monroe from New York in 1835 and built several private homes and public buildings in Monroe including the original city hall. He served as mayor from 1862-1863. The authors write, "Perhaps as Joseph traveled on Lake Erie the combination of the sight of the grape vines on Kelleys Island and the wild grape vines flourishing along the Detroit River and the River Raisin influenced his future profession as wine maker."
In 1863 Joseph planted the state's first vineyard for the purposes of commercial winemaking in Monroe County, although the first vineyard in Monroe was planted in 1854 by J.C.W. Greening, owner of the RiverRaisin Valley Nursery. Joseph's vineyard was two and a half acres and was planted along with an apple orchard near the docks in Monroe. Successful vineyards on nearby islands inspired him to plant a vineyard. He planted 2, 050 vines on twelve acres of property….A few years later, in 1868, commercial winemaking in Michigan began when he established Pointe Aux Peaux Wine Company. The winery was named for the point of land that jut out into Lake Erie. In 1871, Pointe Aux Peaux Winery made five thousand gallons of wine.
The winery's reputation grew when they received a gold medal and recognition for presenting the best collection of wines at the Michigan State Fair. The following year, Pointe Aux Peaux was awarded a gold medal for perfect vineyard. The judges noted they, "had never seen any vineyard better laden with fruit or in better condition in any respect."
Success breeds imitation and by 1873 there were more than 20 vineyards on nearly 200 acres producing over a half a million pounds of grapes. By 1873, the Monroe wine industry was booming and had earned a reputation for quality. There were 309 acres of vines; 184,673 pounds of grapes were sold, and 12,355 gallons of wines were made. (25)
So what happened? There is no real satisfying answer here. Upon Joseph Sterling's death in 1891, the prohibitionist wife of his partner, Samuel P. Williams', closed the winery. In the late 1800s a fungal disease known as "grape rot" hit Monroe. This combined with the growing strength of the temperance movement and the deaths of the wine making pioneers doomed Monroe's wine industry. After the repeal of prohibition, several new wineries reopened, but relocated to southwest Michigan where vineyards established prior had survived by supplying grapes to Welch's grape juice company.
Monroe is a farming community that takes a lot of pride in it's history. Perhaps a glance at its past could help move the city toward a better future. I'd like to think that all we need is a few pioneering spirits like Joseph Sterling who can see Monroe for it's potential. People with a passion for their craft and an uncompromising commitment to quality. There are signs that it is happening right now in the county through the efforts of Jon Trelor owner of J. Trees Wine Cellars who cultivates grapes and apples to make fantastic wine and cider right here in Petersburg and Brad Sancho at Original Gravity who set up shop in Milan on the Monroe side of the county line and is turning out consistently top notch craft beer. Now if a winery or microbrewery would just open within walking distance of our house.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the U.S. It usually occurs when the pressure inside the eye rises, damaging the optic nerve and causing gradual but steady vision loss. In some patients, optic nerve damage indicative of glaucoma can occur even at normal eye pressures.
There are two main types of glaucoma, open-angle and angle-closure. Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma and is characterized by a reduced capacity of the eye to properly drain the intraocular fluid (aqueous humor). Angle-closure glaucoma involves a sudden buildup of pressure in the eye and poor drainage because the angle between the iris and the cornea is blocked or is too narrow.
The condition often develops over many years without causing pain or other noticeable symptoms – so you may not experience noticeable vision loss until the disease has progressed significantly. Unfortunately, vision loss from glaucoma is irreversible.
Sometimes symptoms do occur, particularly in acute narrow angle glaucoma. They may include:
People at high risk include those who are over the age of 40, diabetic, near-sighted, African-American, or who have a family history of glaucoma.
To detect glaucoma, your physician will perform a series of tests including visual acuity testing, visual field testing, intraocular pressure measurements, examination of the anatomy of the eyes as well is imaging and ocular photography. Regular eye exams will be scheduled to monitor the changes in your eyesight and to determine whether you may develop glaucoma.
Once diagnosed, glaucoma can be controlled and further vision loss can be prevented. The mainstays of treatment are medications (usually eye drops) and in office laser procedures. These treatments are safe and effective and side effects of medications taken for glaucoma are generally mild and cease upon discontinuation of the drops. 85-90% of glaucoma patients respond to drops and/or laser. For the patients that don't respond surgery is the next option.
In a healthy eye, fluid is produced in the ciliary body, enters the eye, and then drains through tiny passages called the trabecular meshwork. In people with glaucoma, these passages become blocked and intraocular pressure rises. The purpose of the surgery is to reroute the fluid so that it escapes from the eye more readily, normalizing the pressure.
Dry eye occurs when the eyes aren't sufficiently moisturized, leading to itching, redness, foreign body sensation, and pain from dry spots on the surface of the eye. The eyes may become dry and irritated because the tear ducts don't produce enough tears, or because the tears themselves have a chemical imbalance, causing them to evaporate quicker than normal. People usually begin experiencing dry eye symptoms as they age, but the condition can also result from certain medications, conditions or injuries.
Dry eye is not only painful; it can also damage the eye's tissues and impair vision. Fortunately, many treatment options are available.
Non-surgical treatments for dry eye include increasing the humidity at home or work and the use of artificial tears, moisturizing ointment, and/or prescription eye drops. In combination with this, small punctal plugs may be inserted in the corners of the eyes to limit tear drainage, or the drainage tubes in the eyes may be surgically closed. Eyelid surgery is also a solution if an eyelid condition is causing your dry eyes.
The macula is a part of the retina in the back of the eye that ensures that our central vision is clear and sharp. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) occurs when the arteries that nourish the retina harden. Deprived of nutrients, the retinal tissues begin to weaken and die, causing vision loss. Patients may experience anything from a blurry, gray or distorted area to a blind spot in the center of vision.
AMD is the number-one cause of vision loss in the U.S. Macular degeneration doesn't cause total blindness because it doesn't affect the peripheral vision. Possible risk factors include genetics, age, diet, smoking and sunlight exposure. Regular eye exams are highly recommended to detect macular degeneration early and prevent permanent vision loss.
Symptoms of macular degeneration include:
There are two kinds of AMD: wet (neovascular/exudative) and dry (non-neovascular). About 10-15% of people with AMD have the wet form. "Neovascular" means "new vessels." Accordingly, wet AMD occurs when new blood vessels grow into the retina as the eye attempts to compensate for the blocked arteries. These new vessels are very fragile, and often leak blood and fluid between the layers of the retina. Not only does this leakage distort vision, but when the blood dries, scar tissue forms on the retina as well. This creates a dark spot in the patient's vision.
Dry AMD is much more common than wet AMD. Patients with this type of macular degeneration do not experience new vessel growth. Instead, symptoms include thinning of the retina, loss of retinal pigment and the formation of small, round particles inside the retina called drusen. Vision loss with dry AMD is slower and often less severe than with wet AMD.
Recent developments in ophthalmology allow doctors to treat many patients with early-stage AMD with the help of lasers and medication.

In November 2005, the " Gangneung Danoje Festival in Jiangling", which was declared by South Korea, was officially designated as "the legend of mankind and the intangible heritage" by UNESCO on the Nov 24th of Paris time. Jianglin Gangneung Danoje Festival and Chinese Dragon Boat Festival are similar in origin,so some Chinese media expressed strong dissatisfaction about the success of Korea's application. What is the difference between the Gangneung Danoje Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival? Did the Gangneung Danoje Festival in Korea really copy the Dragon Boat Festival in China?
The Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea is composed of dance, shaman sacrifice, folk art exhibition and so on. It is different from the Dragon Boat Festival in China, people eat zongzi, racing dragon boat to commemorate Qu Yuan in Dragon Boat Festival. The only same point of these two festivals is the time frame, which is held during the Dragon Boat Festival in China.
China's "Dragon Boat Festival" is not in contradiction with South Korea. From the successful application of Korea to the Dragon Boat Festival, we can see that Korea has injected modern cultural elements into traditional cultural activities, successfully realized the modern transformation and gained international recognition, which is a reference for the protection of Chinese cultural heritage.
The Dragon Boat Festival, the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar year, also called duanyangjie, bath Festival etc.. It is a traditional culture festival popular in China as well as in the cultural circles of Chinese characters. The Dragon Boat Festival originated in Chinese, initially for illnesses and epidemic prevention before the Spring Festival. In Dragon Boat Festival, local people eat dumplings, drink realgar. Influenced by the Chinese culture, this festival was also being used for reference by other around countries. The Dragon Boat Festival has been listed as a national holiday since 2008. In May 2006, the State Council included it in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in China. In September 2009, UNESCO formally approved the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival as the world's intangible cultural heritage. It became the first Chinese festival to be selected as the world's intangible heritage. On September 30, 2009, China's Dragon Boat Festival was selected to be selected by UNESCO as the representative of the human intangible cultural heritage.
To sum up, although the Gangneung Danoje festivals in Korea have the same origin as Chinese Dragon Boat festivals, the two countries are quite different in celebrating festivals' contents and meanings. Basically, South Korea has created a completely different and historic Festival.

The role of local manufacturers in improving access to essential medicines: the case of Uganda
Posted on 19 February 2010
The local manufacture of pharmaceuticals is a hotly contested issue in many countries. It runs to the heart of key concerns such as quality, availability and price of medicines (as well as the broader issues of economic development and trade). Within the Medicines Transparency Alliance (MeTA) – a multi-stakeholder initiative that has the active participation of government, the private sector and civil society working together to solve problems and improve transparency and accountability around access to medicines in seven countries – this debate is active. In a recent article for Africa Health, Nazeem Mohamed, Chair of the MeTA Uganda National Council and Chairman of the Uganda Pharmaceutical Manufacturer's Association (UPMA) sets out some of the arguments of the local manufacturers.
In Uganda, five large and six small-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing companies operate. This number, if functioning at full capacity, is capable of meeting the demand for supply of many of the essential drugs to the population of Uganda. However, in practice, this is not happening. The industry continues to face challenges that threaten its growth, and even, potentially, its existence.
The Uganda Pharmaceutical Manufacturer's Association (UPMA) is a registered association in Uganda of registered companies licensed by the National Drug Authority to operate a pharmaceutical manufacturing business in Uganda. The pharmaceutical industry in Uganda is made up of the local pharmaceutical manufactures, importers, wholesalers and retailers and the Government through its regulatory arm. Civil society organisations also have a role to play in advocating for change in the medicines industry and to hold people to account. The multiple actors involved make it a complex industry in which to initiate change. It is for this reason that UPMA are participating in MeTA Uganda.
The challenges that local industry face are not small. Many difficult conditions including high costs of operations and energy, and unfair competition have a multiplier effect resulting in stagnation and denying opportunities to contribute to the growth of the economy through job creation and investments.

We have printed Portfolio of
Internal and External Affairs Chief Officer Franz Manderson's letter to the
editor regarding our story 'Whopping pay raises for government portfolio' today.
We accept much of what he says, but
not everything.
The portfolio was certainly given
an opportunity to respond and could have included all of the information Mr.
Manderson has now sent via the Freedom of Information process, during which
this newspaper specifically asked "if there is any particular reason why an
employee received a salary adjustment/increment feel free to state that". In
fact, several other departments in government who submitted their information
on salary increments for our request have included complete and thorough
explanations for every single pay rise they awarded.
Sadly, when given the opportunity
to do so, Mr. Manderson's portfolio merely included its explanation as a one
word answer – either "promotion" or "regrading". Let us not pretend that the
portfolio was forthcoming with all this information at the time they were asked
for it.
As far as the "heads rolling"
comment, we should restate our previously elucidated view that Mr. Manderson
remains among the best and brightest of the Cayman Islands government service.
We have praised his performance and we have not been disappointed as he
continues to climb through the ranks of the government service – even though he
is now apparently 'disappointed' in us for reporting the exact information his
portfolio provided.
But this issue is not about Mr.
Manderson. This issue of salary increments is about equity and transparency.
There are many civil servants in
the government who have been forced to take on additional responsibilities
without the pay increase that typically implies. We wonder how many others are
out there who have not received such consideration and whose bosses were simply
told that there was not enough money to do so – no matter how they rearranged
or "regraded" work assignments.
We also continue to believe that
government must give an explanation to the public regarding why dozens of civil
servants have received pay rises at a time of national austerity. It is neither
unreasonable nor unfair to ask for such explanations and publish responses as
they are presented to us.

Free range cattle grazing increases livestock predation, finds a studySonam Pem, Thimphu
Feb 13, 2018
A new study has found out that livestock are more vulnerable to predation when released into forests without anyone herding them. The study is an effort to understand and assess the livestock herding practices in Bhutan to minimise predation by wild predators.
The study was carried out by Kencho Tshering of the Department of Forests and Park Services and Phuntsho Thinley of the Ugyen Wangchuck Institute for Conservation and Environmental Research (UWICER).
Free range cattle grazing, where cattle are left unattended without a herder, is one of the biggest contributors to livestock losses. Stall feeding, on the other hand, have been found to reduce loss of livestock to predators.
"We determined that free range cattle grazing is the most predominant type of cattle grazing that is currently seen and that is worrisome because in the past we used to see a lot of livestock animal groups being herded and the herders are actually of different age groups ranging from youngsters to elderly people," Dr. Phuntsho Thinley of UWICER said.
"But nowadays, one of the important dynamics that we have found is that most of the herders are elderly groups and some of the herders cannot see properly as well as hear properly. So, this is worrisome because we feel that most of the herders are not able to actually take care of their animals."
Shortage of rural farm labor and pasture land continues to be a challenge for herding cattle. As livestock rearing forms an integral part of agropastoralists' livelihood in the country, livestock predation can form a economic setback to rural community.
"For sustainability of agriculture production in Bhutan, the government discourages the use of many chemical fertilizers and many people in the rural areas use cattle dung as farmyard manure," Dr. Phuntsho Thinley said.
"Therefore, in order to use farmyard manure, cattle dung is required and for production of cattle dung, we definitely need livestock animals. So, if farmers keep on losing a lot of livestock animals to wild predators, then definitely it will have a rippling effect on the rural socio-economy."
The study encourages farmers to practice stall feeding and proper livestock herding with accompanying herders.
It also recommends the government to devise a policy where farmers are provided with designated pasture land.
The study was conducted in Thimphu, Punakha and Gasa based on reports of high number of livestock loss cases reported in these districts.

Earthbound, Suikoden-inspired RPG Citizens of Earth recruits help via Kickstarter
September 20, 2013 1:05 PM | John Polson
Waveform developer Eden Industries is seeking Kickstarter pledges to help fund the art of upcoming modern RPG Citizens of Earth. In this turn-based RPG, all the Normal NPCs are the real heroes in the game, and the player-controlled Vice President handles the sweet-talk recruiting of them.
The Kickstarter campaign goes into detail about the characters roles in and out of battle. "Since every character is a regular citizen of the world, they each have their own unique day job that they take care of while they're not actively accompanying you... Additionally, each character gets better at their day job as you level them up, which not only provides an incentive to use every single character but also allows the player to strengthen and develop the world at large beyond just the combat strength of his party. "
The combat should be familiar to those who've played Earthbound or Dragon Quest. "Citizens of Earth has a focus on intelligent choices that keep you on your toes. Rather than learn pages and pages of abilities that quickly become obsolete, each Citizen's abilities grow stronger as you level up."
For a $15CAD pledge, you get a copy of the game for Windows, Mac, or Linux, with a scheduled release of June 2014.

The Found and the Made
By Alan Siegel
Alan Siegel, widely known for his sculptural chairs, is exhibiting his new work at the Nudo Gallery, Recreo 36, from March 17 until April 10. This work marks a departure in his long career.
The Found and the Made
Work of Alan Siegel
Mar 17–Apr 10
Nudo Gallery
Recreo 10 B, Centro
Here are some of his thoughts on the subject of The Found and the Made:
"It has been said that the role of the artist is to point out what is beautiful in the world. Found art is seeing something extraordinary in the ordinary. Many pieces in the show required very little actual work on my part. They are the result of lucky finds made while searching through piles of discarded parts of trees. Other pieces are the result of many hours of making.
A piece I call Dance is the result of two found pieces that met in my studio and hit it off.
Perhaps, we relate to the trees that seem to have struggled to achieve their shape as analogous to our bodies reflecting the experience of our lives. Older, hard-worked bodies seem to tell more interesting stories to me than younger ones.
It is my hope that the work will surprise you, both the found and the made, and communicate a kind of beauty mixed with darker emotions."

Longmont / Boulder, Colorado IAABO Basketball Officials
Date submitted: 2013-03-02
Question submitted:
Is the one and one free throw(s) considered "multiple free throws"?
Rules Interpreter Response:
A one and one free throw is NOT considered Multiple free throws since if the first one is missed only that ONE is shot.
Date submitted: 2012-01-16
Question submitted:
A1 is awarded free throws for a personal foul. As teams A and B begin take position in lane spaces, Coach B calls all of his team to the floor in front of his coaching box without a time out called by either coach. Assuming A1 is ready to shoot free throws, and players from team B do not occupy the required lane spaces what is the proper procedure? First I assume officials should request Coach B to have players occupy lane spaces, but then if Team B does not comply, do you administer free throws with a delayed lane violation and on subsequent noncompliance by team B administer a delay of game technical or do you forego the delayed lane violation and immediately enforce a delay of game technical? Rule 9-1-2 penalty 2 would indicate using a delayed lane violation, however casebook 9.1.2 situation A indicates that a free throw procedure is never started w/out defensive players occupying the 1st lane spaces unless using the resumption of play procedure following a timeout or intermissi
Rules Interpreter Response:
Advise the coach that his/her players are required to occupy the first lane spaces immediately. If Team B fails to comply, the team is in violation of rule 10.1.5b and should be assessed a team technical foul. Because the situation described does not involve a timeout or intermission, the resumption of play procedures in rule 8.1.2 cannot be used. If a technical foul is assessed, shoot the free throw(s) for the first foul with no players along the lane; shoot the free throws for the technical foul and award the ball to Team A for a throw-in at the division line opposite the table. The team technical foul counts toward the bonus, but is not charged indirectly to the head coach.

Japanese website, 4Gamer recently conducted an extensive interview with about 150 Japanese developers where Nintendo's President Satoru Iwata shared some interesting concerns regarding Nintendo's hardware.
During the said interview, Mr. Iwata shared his hardware frustration and promises to implement features which are currently not available in Nintendo's devices. For instance, during the development of Game Boy Advance SP, Iwata wanted to implement a sleep functionality when the system closed.
Although this feature didn't make it to the final build, Iwata decided to implement in the next device:
The GBA SP was also a clam-shell design, so I pretty adamantly demanded of the hardware team that it went to sleep when it was closed. 'This feature is absolutely essential!' I said.
However, at that time, they told me that as it would take re-working the chip so it could be turned on and off it would take a year to do it, so I had to reluctantly withdraw my request. Nevertheless, I did tell them that they had to make sure the next system they designed would be able to go into sleep mode.
Iwata also stated that at the time of Wii U launch, Dwango's Nobuo Kawakami provided some valuable feedback, using which the company plans to make better its future hardware devices:
Right after the Wii U launched, when you were kind enough to give us quite a lot of feedback, Mr. Kawakami, I had a similar feeling of frustration to the GBA SP situation then. On various points, I thought 'We have to do that next time!'
With that being said, it would be interesting to see how Nintendo plans to implement much-needed features in upcoming hardware devices.

Residents' anger at 'austerity tree' that has been put up in centre of their town
DESPAIRING residents have branded their town's "austerity" Christmas tree "the worst in country".
People in Hetton-le-Hole, Sunderland, have branded the tree "woeful", "shameful" and "embarrassing".
Residents have taken to social media to vent their feelings about the sorry-looking lights on the live redwood tree.
One said: "Here's Hetton's copy of a decorated Christmas tree. Got to be one of the worst in the country?"
Another branded it "an austerity tree", while someone else wrote: "It looks like someone has put them up with a catapult."
One bemused resident added: "Did a bloke just chuck a five metre line of lights round it?"

Another said: "It's a disgrace. That beautiful tree deserves to be looking fantastic."
However, one resident came out on side of the council and wrote: "Put things into perspective people, it's a tree, nothing life-threatening.
"Some people will be in poverty this Christmas so in the great scheme of things the lack of bulbs in Hetton isn't the worst of things."
Hetton Town Council clerk, John Price, said there were lights on the tree which were not currently illuminated, and that the council had met with the contractors about repairing them.
He said: "There is a problem with the electrical connection with the tree and it needs special equipment so someone can get up there to repair it.
"We're speaking to the contractors about the quickest way we can get it resolved.
"The tree gets bigger every year and we need to review what we do with it, but there are lights on there which are not lit up at the moment."
