I've seen two of the books in twenty two years. They came out of the Great Desert with some of the crazies who track out there. I bought one for a week's worth of drinking at the Hole, the other, for a '57 Packard. They're tin, the books, see? Only they're not. They look like tin, but with green metal flecked in it, and the pages are metal, thin metal like, with the writing burned into it.
They're big, the books. Oversized, but they don't weigh hardly nothing.
I read them now, everyday. One is from a man named McCaw, who lived in 1651 in Shropshire, England. Had family myself there, back before we were all trundled off by her Majesty to this glorious new continent. The book talks all old timey about England and a library and strange creatures and machines and stars and cycles.
The other book. Well, the other book is worse. It's from sometime after all this. Some Chinese world where they taken over past some sort of atomic war or something. Heaven and hell, the books. With me in between.
These books, they're real. What's in them, is real. I know that. I read them enough.
The first guy who brought one in to the junk shop, he set to drinking in the Hole, and he never did get out of that hole, if you know what I mean. He drove his truck into the river after telling me about the library out there in the waste. A library so big, and so filled with these books that you wouldn't believe. A place that weren't built by no man. He marked it on my map.
I got my pack. I got food and water for days. I got my jeep and my rifle.
I'm going to go out to this library and see what else the books in the stacks have to say.

As Thanksgiving approaches I've been thinking about that line from the Lord's Prayer "Give us this day our daily bread." In our travels we've discovered that 'daily bread' can mean different things in different places.
In Jamaica we ate a flatbread made from cassava. In Japan we tried special pancakes called okonomiyaki.I photographed these homemade rice cakes drying in the sun in Laos.In Germany we had pretzels. Our tour guide in Ukraine was Victor Penner. His wife made this basket of homemade bread for us. Dave and a student check out the bread selection in a bakery window in Madrid, Spain. Dave eats paper dosai in a restaurant in Singapore's Little India. Dave with a cinnamon raisin twist in Hong Kong. He stopped at this woman's shop for a raisin twist every morning on his way to work and before we moved back to Canada from Hong Kong she asked him to marry her.
Watching bakers make naan in Delhi India.I took this photo of a street vendor selling bread in New York City.We saw this special bread for sale in Hiroshima, Japan. Dave and our friend Tad roasting bannock at the Fort Whyte Nature Centre in Manitoba.
For many years in a row my Mom came to my grade two classroom to bake bread with my students.

I made this photo tray (from 7 Gypsies) as a gift for my niece, Grace, for her 8th grade graduation. She was recently in the "Suessical" the musical at her school and played the Cat in the Hat. She did a wonderful job! She had 22 people (family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends) in the audience all there for her big performance! :) I had to include that photo in the tray. I also included photos of Grace with her mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, family and friends. Gracie, you rock!
I used several Hero Arts stamps on this, as well as Lawn Fawn and Technique Tuesday stamps. I made ATC's and inserted them into the tray. I hope she likes it.
supplies: Hero Arts stamps, shadow ink, gems, Lawn Fawn stamps, Kerri Bradford Silhouette image, Archivers flowers, 7 Gypsies tray, Bazzill dotted cardstock, My Minds Eye paper, Basic Grey paper, Fiskars punch and EK Success punch, Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - June 14, 2012) -
Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.
Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT) (the "Company") is proud to announce that in accordance with its business plan and timeline, it began the construction of its high-purity alumina (HPA) production plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, on May 29, 2012. To convert the pilot plant to a state-of-the-art full-scale facility, the Company has enlisted the services of a number of expert suppliers.
HPA Production Plant
The aggregate construction costs of the HPA production facility are expected to range between 26M$ and 30M$, net of refundable tax credits which are subject to approval from governmental tax authorities. While the initial design and associated costs of the projected HPA production plant were based on a one tonne per day HPA production capacity, the production facility is now expected to reach three tonnes of high-purity alumina per day within 12 months of its commissioning without requiring further significant capital expenditures.
Expert Suppliers
General contractor Gastier was hired to perform and manage the construction project and to ensure that the plant is ready to begin production in December 2012 as per the anticipated schedule. The contractor will also coordinate local contractors. Gastier is one of the largest contractors in Quebec, employing more than 700 individuals and with numerous large-scale projects to its credit.
"The Gastier team is delighted to be associated with the professionalism of Orbite and to be a part of such an innovative project as the high-purity alumina plant in Cap-Chat. We will draw on our 40 years of experience to coordinate construction efforts throughout this high-end initiative and achieve plant commissioning in 2012," stated Sylvain Gaudry, President of Gastier.
For the design and construction of the new building, the Company retained Canam Group, a firm in business for more than half a century. Joël Nadeau, Vice-President of Canam Group, is pleased to be involved in the Orbite HPA conversion project: "We are proud to be part of a project that carries so much potential for the Quebec chemical industry. Canam Group is a North American firm specialized in the design and fabrication of construction products and solutions for more than 50 years, and we are excited to be associated with the leading-edge technology and processes involved in the two types of alumina that Orbite will produce."
The plant's high-purity alumina calcination work has been entrusted to the leading European firm Outotec, which is already partnering with Orbite in its smelter grade alumina production activities. Outotec specializes in mineral and metal processing technologies. "For a century, we have specialized in exacting projects such as this one, which demand a high level of technical skill," explained Pertti Korhonen, President and CEO of Outotec. "Over the years, we have developed and refined many technologies that have become industry benchmarks, and we will apply this expertise in the calcination work we conduct for our partner Orbite." Parallel to the high-purity alumina calcination unit, Orbite will also regenerate the hydrochloric acid produced.
Emerson Process Management has been charged with process control instrumentation for the Orbite HPA plant. Supporting Emerson will be local partner Laurentide Controls, which will assist Orbite in enhancing the profitability of its patented extraction technology. "We appreciate the confidence that Orbite has in us," said Al Novak, Director, Metals and Mining at Emerson. "We will help Orbite reduce its operating costs and assure the efficiency and safety of the future day-to-day operations at the production plant."
With the expertise and support of all of its partners, the Company is embarking on a milestone in its development, i.e. the launch of the construction phase of its high-purity alumina plant. "For this vital construction project, we wanted to partner with the best professionals in the business, not only to ensure our deadlines would be respected but also to adhere to the highest chemical industry and safety standards for the construction of an industrial facility such as ours. Our business partners have all demonstrated their ability to deliver high-quality projects within the established budgets and timeframes," explained Richard Boudreault, President and CEO of Orbite.
For his part, Denis Primeau, Chief Engineer of Orbite, applauded the completion of the engineering design phase and the selection of the final concept for the conversion project. "The Orbite team of engineers has finalized the design of the chemical transportation process," he stated. "We are also being supported by many world leaders, such as Outotec, Andritz and Pfaudler; all are companies well able to meet the high quality criteria we have established."
Mr. Primeau added that construction of the Orbite high-purity alumina plant will be carried out in four phases: the foundation and infrastructure will be completed by the end of July 2012; the structure and exterior will be finished in September; the mechanical systems and electrical installations will follow, and commissioning of the plant is slated for December 2012.
International Aluminum & Power Conference
As reported in the Orbite press release of June 5, 2012, Richard Boudreault, President and CEO of Orbite Aluminae, has been invited to make a formal presentation to delegates of the International Aluminium & Power Conference in Montreal today, June 14, 2012. Mr. Boudreault will address an audience of many key aluminum industry stakeholders from around the world at the Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth Hotel at 12:15 on "Developments in securing new sources of low-cost alumina".

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ: The Central Jersey Diaper Bank has been selected as one of the Top 200 finalists in the State Farm Neighborhood Assist® grant program. The community outreach program of Congregation Anshe Emeth needs local people to rally behind the cause, by casting votes and to help them win one of 40 $25,000 grants.
Just click on the link below, up to 10 times a day, and help leave no wet behinds.
The Voting Windows is continues through until August 24th at 11:59:59pm ET, and you can vote up to 10 times per day every day per email address for our cause. Winners will be announced September 25th. CJDB invites the public to share the connection with online friends.
Says John Yen of the Anshe Emeth Community Development Corporation, "So, please help us the next two weeks by voting and raise support for the Central Jersey Diaper Bank! Together we can help low-income families in Central NJ with diapers, wipes, clothes and baby equipment to help keep children healthy and safe!"
From the website of the Central Jersey Diaper Bank located at Congregation Anshe Emeth in New Brunswick:
"CJDB provides free Baby Formula, Equipment, Diapers/Wipes & clothing to families with no government help.
100% of our cause focuses on supplying what is crucial to keeping babies and young children healthy and growing. CJDB is the only diaper bank in Central NJ. Safety-net programs such as Food Stamps or WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, lnfants, and Children) do not cover the cost of diapers, and can only provide whatever brand and type of formula is currently available. In response to great need among young, low-income families in our community, in July, 2010 we began a program to distribute one week's worth of diapers, wipes, and/or formula for each young child in the families referred to us. Families come to us from other social services who can verify their need.
With your grant, we can help additional working poor families get on their own two feet, lend a helping hand and be self sufficient. Many of our families only need help temporariIy. In order to work, childcare is needed where most licensed day care centers do not accept cloth diapers and require parents to provide a steady supply of disposable diapers. Without these, parents cannot access daycare and are less able to attend school or work on a regular basis. This leads to increased economic instability and a continuation of the cycle of poverty. In our poor and low-income families, a baby can spend a day or longer in one diaper. Often, the choice is between, rent, food or diapers/formula.
In the 2015-2016 year we provided over 65,000 diapers to 527 families and formula to 70 families. We were able to meet 95% of requests for diapers. This year, we provided over 100,000 diapers and 700 families but are limited by funds. This grant would allow us to serve additional families and purchase the diapers/wipes, clothing and equipment to help more families be more and more independent for 2 more years."

Farmhouse Decor
I have found the perfect description of the style we try and look to achieve at our home. I am not so much shabby chic and most definitely not arts and craft country not even French country (although we have some elements of this style in our home). I love, love, love stuff from the past, the older the better. Nothing perfect. In the text below I've indicated in bold the words that describe me 100% and the most important is in bold and caps.
(Text and picture taken from here).
Present in Country Farmhouse design are elements of rustic style interior design . While these interior design styles may vary a great deal, the one common theme is the idea of incorporating the natural elements and environments of the area to create a cozy, relaxed decorating style. As such, there are no hard and fast rules as to what you can and cannot do in country farmhouse style design, and in fact, the items you use in your country farmhouse themed home may differ from the pieces used by someone in any other part of the country, because the design should be influenced by the natural elements in your area. Some basic things you can expect to find in country farmhouse design are:
- Wooden floors covered with colorful throw rugs
- Furniture covered in cotton or other natural fabrics
- Antiqued metals
- Floral patterns
- Large pieces of furniture made of wood
While these are some common things associated with country farmhouse décor, they're not the rule – anything that is non-fussy and cozy goes. If there is one rule to country farmhouse design though, it is accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Knick knacks, pillows, wall art – these are the finishing touches that bring a country farmhouse home together. Look for things at the local flea market, show off your old family heirlooms. Don't worry about anything matching – in fact, the less matching there is, the more your home will have that charming, lived-in feel you're trying to create. Your home décor should evolve over time as you pick up more and more pieces to add to your rooms. In this instance, clutter is a virtue and will only add to the appeal of your country farmhouse style décor.

Rainy, Spoony Ring
Life has been so occupied for me lately that I haven't had time to really get into the Christmas spirit yet but I think that now I might be more apt to start thinking about Christmasy things.
In between meetings on Friday I slipped into this store to buy part of my birthday present (Dave gave me money for my birthday especially for this special spoon ring (below). It's custom made by this fabulous artisan from Halifax.
With some of the money left from my gift, I bought this CD at this store. I don't go to Halifax often but when I do I need to find time to go at this little store.
Happy week to everyone !

After the past couple of weeks enjoying mild weather today was not mild at all. In fact it was so cold that I needed my winter hat that I knitted in July.
We managed to find just the right amount of acorns but I think the squirrels got to them before we did...

Rappie Pie
Notice the ''Shopping Bags'' sign in the car... why is it so darn hard to remember to bring in the shopping bags ? I am proud to say that we remembered to bring them in, in every single store we went into this afternoon. Yay for us !
Have a good pleasant week !
Thrifting, crochet and Puss
Also found the first season box set of The Apprentice. My daughter and I are/were (hasn't been on for a long time) huge fans of The Apprentice (not necessarily Trump but the show itself) and when the first series came out on DVD I bought it for $45 (mine is on the left) and yesterday I bought the one on the right for $1 which I am giving to my daughter. All 5 CDs are in there and in excellent condition.
I took a break from knitting and have started a crochet project. It's a surprise for someone very special.
I will leave you with a very blurry (sorry) picture of Puss. He's enjoying his stay with us but his maman misses him very much.
I am eagerly and excitedly awaiting a visit in a couple of weeks from a very special person in my life... can't wait to see her.
April ?
(edited - if it was April there would'nt be 5 cords of firewood laying around).

|Jamie Ewing Barnes †
|Shareholder of Ewing Oil
Expert on cold weather drilling
|Marital status:
|Cliff Barnes (1985-1987)
|Other Relationships:
|Not known
|Jason Ewing & Nancy Shaw Ewing
|Jack Ewing
|Other relatives:
|J.R. Ewing (cousin)
Bobby Ewing (cousin)
|Played by:
|Jenilee Harrison
|Appears on:
Jamie Ewing Barnes was a major character in Dallas (1978 TV series) as a recurring character from 1984 to 1986 appearing in a total of 70 episodes.
About JamieEdit
Early LifeEdit
She was born in 1959 in Alaska, the daughter of Jason Ewing and Nancy Shaw, she had an older brother named Jack Ewing. While growing up, Jack showed no interest in learning about the oil business but Jamie did show interest so her father resolved in teaching his daughter about handling the Oil Business. Because they grew up in Alaska, Jamie and Jack never had any contact with their cousins.
Jason died in 1984 and Jamie learned about the family of her father's brother. Jason - before dying - told Jamie about Ewing Oil (the company he, Jock and Digger Barnes founded) and that Jason had the proof that the company belonged to the three of them, so now Jamie owned part of Ewing Oil. Decided to fight for her rights Jamie traveled to Dallas and made her way to Southfork where the family were shocked to meet her as they didn't knew that Jason had a family.
Entering the Family and Cliff BarnesEdit
The family greet her with open arms, except her cousin J.R. Ewing who was suspicious about her. After she proved that she was indeed Jason's daughter she quickly became best friends with Sue Ellen Ewing and Pamela Barnes Ewing, she also formed close bonds with her cousins Bobby Ewing and Ray Krebbs and her aunt Miss Ellie Ewing. When she became a part of the business she met Ewing rival Cliff Barnes who set her eyes on her and her share of Ewing Oil, soon they began dating and got married in 1985.
Barnes vs EwingEdit
If JR didn't trust her before, now that she married Cliff he didn't like her at all and didn't lose a chance to insult her from time to time. By this point Cliff and Jamie had really fallen in love and decided to fight for Ewing Oil with Pam at their side using Jason's document when Jamie got tired of JR's attitude. A court battle began for Ewing Oil. Although Cliff and Jamie lost, Jamie had earned the respect of JR because she had proved that she was much of a Ewing as was he. During this time, her brother Jack was given 10% of Ewing Oil in exchange for information he gave to JR and Bobby to prove that Jock had bought-back the company.
Jack's return, Bobby's death, divorce and apparent deathEdit
Jack returned in 1985 to form part of the family business too, Jamie was delighted to have her brother back. During Bobby's divorce Jamie would often support her cousin and even joined him in family trips with Jenna , Charlie and Christopher. That same year tragedy struck when Bobby was killed by Katherine Wentworth outside Pam's house when they had just reconciled; Cliff and Jamie became the main support of Pam in this time of tragedy, taking care of her and Christopher. Jamie was the one who took care of the arrangements of Katherine's body because Cliff and Pam didn't want to do it. With Cliff she attended Bobby's funeral. When Jack and JR became involved with Angelica Nero (played by Barbara Carrera), Jamie and Sue Ellen were the ones who suffered the consequences of her revenge:both of them were apparently killed by bombs intended for Jack and JR. As everything during the last year was revealed to be Pam's dream Bobby and Jamie were still alive. But Cliff and Jamie's marriage began to deteriorate and they separated, ironically JR became supportive of Jamie when she decided to leave Cliff. In 1986 returned Jack's ex-wife April Stevens and Cliff began an affair with her, this was the last straw for Jamie and she divorced Cliff for good. During Bobby and Pam's wedding Jamie had a confrontation with April; after the 1986 Ewing Barbecue she decided to leave Dallas for good and moved to California. Always a fan of extreme sports, it was reported that Jamie had suffered a rock-climbing accident in Mexico and apparently died from her injuries.
- Jamie had the distinction of being the only character to be killed off twice.
- Jamie is also notable of being the only Ewing woman of her generation working actively in the Oil Business.
- Jamie is also the only Mrs. Barnes out of love.

Application Clause (Please read before applying.)
Application Clause (Please read before applying.)
Maison Alexander Support Group Inc. is a non-profit organization that specializes in assisting Neonatal Families in need during their time in the NICU and after discharge. In order to request assistance, an application must be accurately completed. The purpose of the application is to be and remain compliant with the bylaws, rules, and regulation of the organization that is filed by the State of Texas and Internal Revenue Services (IRS). All information on the application is kept confidential and private. We encourage all applicants to do the same with keeping their information confidential and private.
To protect the organization as we can continue to serve communities across the world, certain steps must be completed legally. All decisions made are based on the applicant's current situation (in the NICU, in the process of being discharged, and or discharged).
Is there a Nurse, Doctor, or Specialist that needs to be cleared with the hospital reference listed on the application?
Not necessarily; however, the NICU must be able and willing to verify that the applicant is currently in the NICU. Due to HIPPA, MASG INC. understands detailed information cannot be provided (MASG INC. does not request certain/personal details). MASG INC. simply wishes to take note in the interest care of the organization to make sure the application is accurate before providing assistance. 💜
How long does the application take to process?
Once the application is received, the applicant will receive an email response in addition to a greeting phone call within one business day to confirm everything listed on the application. Once the call is complete, the application can take up to 3-5 business days to process - pending reference verification. 💜
Once the application is approved, what happens next?
Once the application is processed, a final determination email will be sent to confirm the final decision and reason. Generally, donations are processed within 3-5 business days. Weather conditions and or no response from applicant can cause a delay. If the donation is an extremely large amount, the delivery will be advised in the email sent prior to releasing the donation. 💜
Can an application be denied?
Yes. If the information listed on the application is not current, the references are not valid/reachable, and or the hospital is not able to verify, the applicant will be denied. 💜
If an application is denied, can the applicant re-apply? If so, when?
Yes, the applicant is able to reapply within one month. However, strict/major considerations will be taken into great consideration. Also, if the second application is declined for the same reason (or other), the applicant can no longer seek assistance from MASG INC. 💜
Can MASG Inc. donate baby bouncers, graphic t-shirts ("mommy princess, daddy's prince, I love grandma, etc."), pacifiers, strollers, infant toys, play mates, and or anything along these items?
Unfortunately, no. MASG Inc. is not at liberty to provide infant accessories that do not cater to a need. However, due to hardship and certain circumstances, we look into providing the following: diapers, plain premature onesies, gas/food cards, car seats, bassinet, breast pump, breast pump items, formula, and references. Please Note: if the applicant is currently in the NICU, we strive to meet the applicant's need – gas/food cards. If the applicant is in the process of being discharged, MASG INC. strives to meet the applicant's need in preparation of going home. 💜
MASG Inc. greatly understands the neonatal journey and the importance of receiving assistance during hardship. Once again, the purpose of the application is to be and remain compliant with the bylaws, rules, and regulation of the organization that is filed by the State of Texas and Internal Revenue Services (IRS). All information on the application is kept confidential and private. MASG INC. encourages all applicants to do the same with keeping their information confidential and private. 💜
***Due to limited donations, our application is closed at this time. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.***

This non-profit organization called San Antonio's Founding Heritage was organized for the sole purpose of educating while entertaining the public. There are still little-known facts pertaining to the settlement and growth of the Villa de San Fernando, which later became the beautiful city of San Antonio, which grew into a metropolis of millions.
In addition, the purpose of this organization is to encourage and promote all educational and historical studies that enhance the historical, cultural and civic significance of the accomplishments of the early settlers of San Antonio.
It is our wish to promote programs, lectures, and civic events which are intended for the general public, and those which are conducted to memorialize historical sites and buildings associated with the history of San Antonio, such as San Fernando Cathedral
San Antonio's Founding Heritage
Honors our Founders
San Antonio's Founding Heritage is proud and honored to carry on the tradition of Founders Day! This annual event celebrates our city's beginnings. It was originally the idea of Frank Jennings, who was a writer, editor, historian, and author. Frank Jennings started Founders Day in 2004 to celebrate the many cultural groups who shaped its history and unique character. Founders Day celebrates our city's growth and development as a community from the 1700's until the present. We will pay tribute to the more than 20 cultural groups and memorable individuals who have made ours the most Texan of Texas cities! We are a city of conviviality, communal harmony, of convivencia.
Founders Day will be a continuing information and awareness effort to broaden our community's knowledge and appreciation of our history and heritage through the dynamic use of the arts resources of our people. With the cooperation of artists and artistic and cultural organizations of all kinds, as well as educators, historians, librarians and others, the effort will help inspire, inform and educate our community- especially our youth-about our heritage and character.

Wow! You are planning on giving up on your endeavor to lose weight because you are feeling hungry? Do not give up! You are not alone in this. A large number of people that I have counseled and read about have also had such feeling at a particular time in their lives. But today, they have all lost weight. If they had quitted then, they would not have lost their weight. Quitters never win; winners never quit. Do not allow hunger to stop your mission of losing weight. In order to succeed in your quest of conquering obesity and hunger, I will help you by giving you some tips on how to hold your hunger as a hostage and not the other way. The following are some five powerful natural "weapons" you can use to battle against hunger. These include:
Raspberries stand tall among other berries due to its food craving stopping ability. With a cup of frozen raspberries, you will enjoy over eighty calories and a huge grams of fiber (about nine grams). It is an established scientific fact that a food with high concentration of fiber would make people last longer without being hungry, thereby reducing food craving. Other benefits you tend to gain from raspberries include manganese, potassium and vitamins. A cup of raspberries is okay for the body as breakfast, most especially when mixed with milk and banana.
This type of food has now gained prominence around the globe as an appetite controller and as a factor of loss of weight, despite the fact that it has been in use by the Asians for centuries. The food contains a high concentration of fiber and protein which helps in lowering the blood sugar, slow digestion and above all controls craving. It is a fact that a brownish pigment called fucoxanthin can promote weight loss in the human body and this is found in a wakame. Therefore, eating seaweed is a plus for you as it will lower your blood sugar, stimulate slow digestion, controls craving and helps you losing your weight.
Contrary to the popular myth about nuts, nuts help in squashing hunger and controlling weight. It has been suggested that the body doesn't absorb all the calories in nuts, thereby it keeps you fuller and longer. It was also suggested that people who took shelled pistachios used about 41% more calories than those who took in-shell pistachios. Another benefit embedded in taking nuts and pistachios is that the shells can serve as a visual pointer to know how much nuts have been eaten; thereby discouraging you from eating more.
Legumes are filled with fiber, starch that are resistant and a protein that doesn't digest on time, thus make it a more powerful threat to hunger. Based on the current scientific knowledge, an obese person eating a legume-rich food will lose close to ten pounds in sixteen weeks. Apart from that, it also improves the blood cholesterol level and makes you feel fuller than people who don't eat the fiber-rich food.
Another powerful weapon you can use in repelling hunger is the egg. Scientific research has shown that an egg breakfast has the ability to control hunger for a full 24 hours. Also, it was discovered that about 438 less calories were used up over the whole day when eggs were eaten as breakfast.

List of species seen
1 on tundra
of Edgeřya; Two groups of 2 & 3 flying over Bellsund in the morning, and 3
in the afternoon
Brent Goose
This is the
least common of the three breeding geese on Svalbard, and we only saw 3 on
Storřya, at the point where the Polar Bear subsequently appeared after our
Group of ~30
North of Longyearbyen, perhaps ~80 on lagoons next to the airport, and ~12
grazing in the centre of town; ~4 small family groups Smeereburgodden; Two
groups of 6 & 16 flying over Bellsund, and a single later from the glacier
in the same fjord
1 female on
the inlet at Longyearbyen
Common Eider
No full
plumaged males were seen – all birds were dark, which seemed to indicate
eclipse plumage in any males present. ~50 on the shoreline at Longyearbyen; Quite
common West of Spitsbergen; ~30 birds, some with ducklings, at Lĺgřya; 3 flew
past the beach at Storřya; 2x2 flew past ship at Barentsřya;~12 with young on
the sea from Bellsund
2 flew over
ship at Barentsřya; ~25 in small groups on small lakes on Edgeřya
All birds
seen were still in full breeding plumage - 1 on lagoon, and 2 overhead at
Smeereburgodden; 4 overhead at Kvitřya; 2 on lagoon and 2 overhead on Storřya; ~4
on lagoons at Russebukta; 1 flew from the head of Bellsund
This was THE
common bird seen throughout, seen from the southern tip of Svalbard, to the ice
floes of the North-west, and also in the fjords
All birds in
non breeding plumage - 3+3 at Longyearbyen; Group of 5 on Lĺgřya
2 on lagoon
at Storřya
Quite easily
the most common wader seen, with all birds in non breeding or mainly non
breeding plumage - Small numbers along shore at Longyearbyen; ~20 Lĺgřya; 2
feeding at stream edge at Barentsřya; 1 flew around the ship in Hornshund; ~8
on the shoreline at Bellsund
3 non
breeding plumaged birds with Purple Sandpipers on open mud at Longyearbyen
Fulmatr, this was the second most regular bird seen during the voyage - Small
numbers amongst Fulmars at sea following boat; Common West of Spitsbergen and
off Smeereburgodden; Reasonably common in the pack ice; Small numbers at
Lĺgřya; Colony of nesting birds in at the head of Innvika, Duvefjorden; Regular
Kvitřya & Storřya; Common Brĺsvellbreen, with some perched on icebergs;
many followed feeding Humpback Whales on way to Alkefjellet; Small colonies
heard in the low cloud on the rocks above Bellsund
Ivory Gull
personally the most sought after of the potential gull species which could be
seen. The 2 at the Polar Bear carcass in the pack ice were almost predictable,
with the ice watched for some time after the bear had departed for these
typical scavengers. In addition, 1 flew past ship on way to Innvika,
Duvefjorden, and 1 later past the iceberg; 3 birds flew over the zodiac and
landed on an iceberg in Hornshund, with 2 single sightings early on; 1 flying
towards glacier at head of Bellsund
Common Gull
1 bird on
the sea at Longyearbyen
Great Black-backed
1 en route
to Smeereburgodden
This was the
only commonly seen large gull throughout - Fairly common around Longyearbyen; Fairly
common West of Spitsbergen; 1 at the Polar Bear kill within the pack ice; A few
birds flying around Lĺgřya; 1 next to Walrus on Phippsřya Island; 1 chased juvenile
Kittiwake from the colony at Innvika, Duvefjorden; 2 over beach at Kvitřya, 2
over Storřya; Few birds amongst the auks at Alkefjellet; 1 at Black Guillemot
colony, Barentsřya; 1 at Edgeřya; 1 over ice at Hornshund; ~5 on Bellsund

Very common
around Longyearbyen, where there were many breeding birds with chicks; Common
West of Spitsbergen; 2 birds near to the pack ice; Common and nesting on
Lĺgřya; 2 reasonably large colonies at Storřya; 2 on beach harassing Arctic
Skua on Edgeřya; Few in Hornshund
Great Skua
2 on rocks
just offshore at Smeereburgodden; 2 over the boat as we left Storřya
Pomarine Skua
All birds
were light phase with full spoons - 3 over sea at Kvitřya, 1 over sea at Storřya
Arctic Skua
All adults
were light phase - Groups of 3 and 5 flew over Longyearbyen in South-easterly
direction; 3 on Smeereburgodden, with 2 separate birds over Smeereburgodden; 2
on ice floe in the pack ice; 3
over Lĺgřya; 2 pairs harassing terns Storřya; Pair on tundra at Barentsřya; 1
being harassed by 2 Arctic Terns on Edgeřya, with 2 over; 1 in Hornshund; Pair
with single well grown chick on Bellsund, and 1 chasing a Kittiwake further up
the fjord
Little Auk
the potential colonies which we could have visited had all departed by the time
we arrived (a sign in Longyearbyen even seemed to indicate the presence of one
up the valley towards the glacier) - Group of 3 flying and 1 on sea off
Smeereburgodden; Small groups of 1-6 swimming or flying in the pack ice; Groups
of ~8 and ~12 flying around Innvika, Duvefjorden
2 flying in
front of the ship on the edge of the pack ice were the only birds we saw until
we reached the colony at Alkefjellet. We were lucky that the colony was still
mainly present here, despite there being estimates of 60000 pairs at its
height. The cliff faces still looked full of birds, as did the air around us,
and even decent numbers on the sea
These were
seen regularly, usually in small numbers. Some birds on the sea could be coaxed
closer by twiddling fingers next to the water – strange but it seemed to work! ~10
on the sea and flying over at Longyearbyen; Common West of Spitsbergen; Occasional
near to the pack ice, including a pair of juveniles ~10 around Phippsřya Island; Regular on journey at and
within Innvika, Duvefjorden; 3 over seas at Storřya; 3 flew past zodiac at
Brĺsvellbreen; few birds at Alkefjellet; ~20 birds seen at cliff colony, Barentsřya;
3 past beach on Edgeřya; Small numbers in Hornshund, including 2 juveniles; A
few birds off Bellsund
1 on sea as
boat left Longyearbyen; group of 3, and ~ 6 singles West of Spitsbergen, 2 off
Smeereburgodden; 2 just South of the pack ice
Snow Bunting
This is the
only passerine regularly seen here. Perhaps the easiest place to see them is in
Longyearbyen, where they are quite mobile - 2 single birds and group of 3
(including male) shoreline at Longyearbyen; 2 on beach at Edgeřya; ~4 in the
boulders at Bellsund in the morning, and 1 in the afternoon
Arctic Fox
The first
was a leucistic variant patrolling the grassy slopes below the Brünich's
Guillemot colony at Alkefjellet; 1-2 seen x3 from Black Guillemot cliffs to
lower slopes above tundra at Barentsřya
Polar Bear
This was
likely to be the main reason for most of the passengers on the ship coming on
this voyage, and they most certainly didn't disappoint. The likelihood of
seeing them is increased further North, and this is where we saw all of ours.
We were also fortunate to see some uncommon to outright rare observations,
including surplus killing of seals, an attempt on a group of Walruses, a 3 hour
long visual of our first bear, and a swimming bear between the ship and our
shore landing area - 2 separate individuals, at Smeereburgodden; 1 made two
kills in the pack ice; 3 (2 together) on Phippsřya Island; 2 on beach at
Kvitřya; 1 (not seen by myself) at Storřya, rounding the corner of the shingle
beach as the last of the zodiacs was boarded
Many haul
outs are known, and we visited a few of them. All had at least some animals
present, and all allowed close approach of the crowd - 1 on rock and pair in
water at Smeereburgodden; Two groups totalling ~60 Lĺgřya haul out; ~50 on
Phippsřya Island; ~200 Kvitřya, 2 haulouts of ~ 60 at Storřya
Hooded Seal
Immature on
ice in the pack ice
Bearded Seal
1 behind
ship in water at Smeereburgodden; 2-3 near to zodiac at Brĺsvellbreen; 2 on ice
in second channel at Hornshund, and a third as we left this channel later; 1
off the landing site in the afternoon at Bellsund
Harp Seal
Large group
of ~2000, with smaller groups of 2-8 in the pack ice
Common Seal
1 on rock at
These are
very easy to approach, with some groups in the past having been reported as
walking through watching tourists - 2 in the distance while walking on
Smeereburgodden; 9 on tundra walk, Barentsřya; ~15 on tundra, Edgeřya, some
with calves; 9 on the moss at Bellsund
At least 8 feeding on the channel towards
Alkefjellet. This group displayed many behaviour patterns of interest,
including breaching, bubble fishing, and also smacking the water with flippers

Robert's March Solar Panel Results
Robert sent his graph for March 2011. He has a smaller system 2.9kw and he has a solar lease like me with Sungevity. We both love our solar panel systems.We had a real heavy rainy day and it shows up on our graphs on the same day. You can compare. He must have had way heavier clouds that day since he had less than a kilowatt of energy produced that day. I had over 2 kilowatts. Enjoy! And keep solarizing!

8 Oct 2013
In class we're working on a poster design for a russian ballet called The Firebird, based on a traditional russian folk tale about a prince who enters an enchanted garden, falls in love with a princess and defeats a monster, la la la. I thought I would come up with some designs for the hero Ivan. : )
I added the rough skeletons...
I chose a few of my favourites to develop. It was rather hard to decide where to put the values. I think I could have done more research at this stage, but I like a couple of the details and characters so far.
24 Dec 2013
I lost interest in this character for quite a while, but here is my finished image. I did skip the variations stage :[ I plan to do another project though and include that stage. I really appreciate all the comments I've had so far! Thanks for the help and the kind words :)

Our trips to Salzburg always followed a formula, and this time around we didn't see any reason to stray from the original. Salzburg, Goldener Hirsh, Tomaselli's and little souvenirs from shopping downtown before heading off to the mountains – it works every time.
One of the stores that always makes it into our rounds is Gemacher Interiors. It's a treasure trove of room after room, somehow combining the best of Austro-chic and Americana styling. Who knew you could have such a combination? They had the steamer trunks and airplane wing desks long before they reached Restoration Hardware. Our weakness is anything with an antler head on it – ceramics…towels…candelabras. It turns out you can do a lot in interior design with antler heads. Also, in this store antler heads always go with chandeliers. Mostly the store is fully of eye candy for us since we're not planning on acquiring an alpine lodge anytime soon, but this place always makes me want to throw a beautiful dinner party right then and there.

A new regulatory strategy on pensions is being developed by two UK authorities.12 Feb 2018
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Pensions Regulator said they intend the strategy to set out how they will work together "to tackle the key risks facing the pensions sector" over the next five to 10 years.
"As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the sector works well for consumers and workplace pension savers, we are working together on a pensions strategy which will look at how we will work together, and with stakeholders, in the coming years," they said.
Industry will be given the chance to feed in to the strategy. A webinar will be organised by the regulators, while spring events in London, Edinburgh and Manchester are already planned.
Discussion at those events will centre on the regulators' "collective view of the current landscape of the sector and our respective regulatory remits" and their "likely key areas of focus in the coming years", the FCA and the Pensions Regulator said.
Pensions expert Tom Barton of Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out-Law.com, said there are some "touch points" across the separate remits of the FCA and the Pensions Regulator. It therefore makes sense for the two regulators to work closely together, he said.
"The Pensions Regulator was essentially set up to regulate defined benefit (DB) schemes established voluntarily by employers," Barton said. "It has done a difficult job well over a period of years now, providing quality guidance and helping to change behaviours in the interests of DB scheme members. More recently, the Pensions Regulator has overseen the implementation of auto-enrolment and placed increased focus on employer-run occupational defined contribution (DC) schemes. Its guidance and support has seen high levels of compliance and consistent improvements in governance."
"The FCA supervises the providers, and distributors, of personal pension schemes and a product range that generally includes IPPs, SIPPs, Stakeholders, Section 32 policies and retirement annuities. However, despite the name, personal pension schemes are commonly used in the workplace and the pensions investment supply market for occupational pension schemes is generally FCA regulated. This creates a degree of overlap of the regulators," he said.
"We also now have the rise of commercial master trusts in the context of defined contribution (DC) schemes, with potentially DB to follow. These commercial ventures are set up as occupational pension schemes and fall within the remit of the Pensions Regulator. However, in many respects they resemble the sort of products supervised by the FCA. Certainly regulation is moving in that direction. Departing from its roots as a regulator of employers and trustees, the Pensions Regulator is about to oversee the authorisation of master trusts and the businesses that support them," Barton said.
"It makes a great deal of sense, therefore, for the two regulators to work closely together – it will help make sure that policy can be sensibly applied across all pension schemes: commercial, non-commercial, workplace and non-workplace, and that the whole system knits together effectively," he said.
However, Barton said that the two regulators will remain "at the mercy of policy that comes out of leftfield". He pointed to government-inspired policies such as the 'freedom and choice' initiative, as well as "more 'slow-burn' game changers" such as auto-enrolment as evidence of pensions policies that shape the nature of the regulators' work.

On the back of the successful Adelaide 500 and Melbourne 400 weekends that saw Nick Percat with two podium finishes at the latter; Blackwoods and Brad Jones Racing are thrilled to reveal they are teaming up again for the Tyrepower Tasmania SuperSprint event.
Percat, currently sitting 8th in the championship, achieved his best qualifying and race results (2nd) since joining the Brad Jones Racing squad in 2017. With a strong showing at the Melbourne 400, Nick and the team are eager to continue this momentum into the third round of the Supercars championship and beyond.
Nick Percat "It's great to have Blackwoods back on board as naming rights partner for next weekends' round in Tasmania, but really, they never left, they were on the front of the car over the AGP weekend and have been supporting us non-stop since Adelaide. They were messaging a few of us in the team over the Melbourne 400 weekend, cheering us on and congratulating everyone on the results. They love it!"
"We head to Symmons Plains with a nice boost of confidence after the last couple of events. Getting the podium results in Melbourne has been such a great reward for the team and all the efforts they've put in over the last couple of months. Everyone has been working incredibly hard to get to this point and the car is awesome."
"BJR have traditionally been strong in Tasmania. It's one of those circuits where the car needs to be perfect. You've only got a couple of corners to work with, so you need to get it right every time. It's not like other tracks where you can try make up a little ground elsewhere if need be."
"There's no room for error and no room to hide here. The results always show that, generally its only eight or so tenths between first and last here, so qualifying well here will be a big focus for us."
Kim Jones "After a successful start to the season its brilliant to have Blackwoods on board again for Tasmania. The team there have shown us incredible support so far and I'm looking forward to working with them more throughout the season. We've also got additional support from the team at Timken for Tasmania and Phillip Island, so there's plenty of good news in the BJR camp at the moment."
"The Blackwoods team had a trade stand setup at Adelaide which received such an overwhelming response, their products really connect with Supercars fans. They were selling everything from trackside essentials including sunscreen and earmuffs, and they even managed to sell a couple of welders over the weekend!"
Blackwoods is Australia's leading provider of industrial supplies, with unrivalled expertise and the ability to bring together the best of the best, Blackwoods is also the first choice for BJR for all their welding, gas, tools, safety gear and PPE supplies.

Although yogurt is easily available in the market, sometimes all you want is a homemade bowl of yogurt. Setting yogurt at home is a pretty simple task. However, it can be a little difficult to set yogurt in winters as yogurt requires a little warmth to set. I used to give up on setting yogurt in winter because it would not set most of the time, wasting all the milk. Most of the methods available on the internet simply did not work for me. However, I have now found an easy way to set yogurt in winters and I am going to share it with you today!
Set Yogurt In Winters
In case you do not know how yogurt is set, I will begin from scratch. Here is what you need to make yogurt at home:
- 2 tablespoons of yogurt. This will be your starter.
- 3 cups of milk.
Of course, you can adjust the quantities depending on the amount of yogurt you need. Here is what you need to do:
- Boil milk. You can let it simmer on low heat for some time if you want a creamy consistency.
- Switch off the stove. Let the milk cool so that it is not boiling hot but just warm. This usually requires 2-3 minutes. You can check by dipping your clean finger in the milk. If the milk is unbearably hot, wait some more. However, do not let it cool off entirely. We need warm milk here.
- Take a bowl. Add yogurt to it. Pour the warm milk over it and cover it.
During summers, this is all you have to do. Just set aside the bowl for 7-8 hours and your yogurt will be ready. However, in winters your yogurt will not set this way as the temperature is simply not warm enough. To set yogurt in winters, take a pot and fill it with water to the brim. The larger the pot, the better. Now, boil this pot. Once the water has boiled, switch off the stove. Now keep the yogurt bowl and keep it in the pot! The heat emitted from the pot will provide the perfect temperature for the yogurt to set in winters! Once you feel the water has cooled down, which normally happens in about 3 hours, keep the bowl near your stove. The area near the stove is usually warmer because of the heat of the stove. Your yogurt should set in about 8 hours this way.

Most people set their yogurt at night so that they can enjoy it the next day. This is perfectly fine during the summers, but not in winters. This is because the temperature drops even further during the night. Secondly, if you are using the method I have described enough, you would want to set the yogurt at a time when your kitchen is in use so that the area near the stove remains warm.

I am looking forward to partnering with you again. Not that I want to move again, but your man and van service is a great relief. I am extremely happy with the way you do removals.
I am completely satisfied with your man and van service. Your guys met all the deadlines, got everything delivered safely and I would certainly recommend.
I am not sure whether to tell that but I got a quote from several companies. I booked from Best Move because they gave the lowest. However, the man and van service certainly was of high quality.
This was my second time having a service from Best Move. And this time I am even more satisfied, especially when the service was even more demanding. For a reliable partner for a complete house relocation choose Best Move!
Your office removals manager did everything right. He was a true leader, and the movers really listened to what he demanded. Big corporate moves require organisation, and everyone at Best Moves knows that.
My move was made possible by your emergency man and van service. Most removals companies require at least two week notice, but you were able to provide the same-price service two days after I called.
A proper man and van service, handled my house removal expertly. What I loved the most was that everything was safely secured at the back of the van, unlike the cowboy companies that don't care.
I wanted to thank the men you sent to my house. They were of a great use, handy, fast, and got everything delivered safe to its place. I'd certainly book again if I have to.
I only outlined which stuff from which rooms need to be moved. Then, I got a call everything has reached its new destination. Either time flew or your men were so fast. Talk about a fast man and van service!
Your rubbish removal service came with a great discount when I booked it with my house removal. Thanks for that, and talking about a job well done – I recommend!

The way to Heaven is hastened by our decision to love God above all else. This is symbolic language, of course. You could also say that awakening is facilitated by the choice to pursue it and nothing else. You could talk about enlightenment. The words are mostly irrelevant; what matters is the commitment, and the faith upon which commitment rests.
When Jesus sent the seventy-two out to serve the world, bearing forth the Love with which they had come into contact through him, he placed them in jeopardy, as the world understood it.
I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
If you are a serious student of A Course in Miracles – a judgment for which you must turn to the Holy Spirit and no one else – then you are lit by the same light that inspired the seventy-two. You have been given that lantern which allows you to sojourn through the world in service, rendering it complete with Love, and leading all your brothers and sisters home.
Later, Jesus spoke to the seventy-two, recalling their travels.
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
Their faith was so immense! They took not a single thing the world judged necessary and yet they wanted for nothing. Their choice was to walk with Christ and to let the way be revealed as they went.
The same call – different in form, identical in content – goes out to us. Can our response be any less embracing, any less emphatic? We are simply acknowledging what the world – and our lives – are for.
You see the flesh or recognize the spirit. There is no compromise between the two. If one is real the other must be false, for what is real denies its opposite. There is no choice in vision but this one . . . On this one choice does all your world depend, for here you have established what you are, as flesh or spirit in your own belief (T-31.VI.1:1-4, 6).
Our decision to recognize the spirit mirrors that of the seventy-two so long ago. It is the recognition that we are – as they were so long ago – the very lights of the world.
Who is the light of the world except God's Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the truth about yourself. It is the opposite of a statement of pride, of arrogance, or of self-deception . . . It refers to you as you were created by God. It simply states the truth (W-pI.61.1:1-3, 6-7).
All the Course asks is that we love God above all else and trust that only kindness can come from that decision and priority.
In a sense, when the seventy-two were sent out into the world, they were liberated. Their self-reliance was absolute because it was grounded in knowledge that what they were in Truth was of God. They accepted the fact of Oneness and lived according to the terms of that acceptance. That was their – and our – salvation. Their will and the will of God were not separate or compromised but united in eternity.
If you could realize nothing is changeless but the Will of God, this course would not be difficult for you. For it is this that you do not believe. Yet there is nothing else you could believe, if you but looked at it (T-25.VII.2:8-10).
I am not saying that you should empty your closet of shoes, or your cupboards of food, or your wallets of money. Nor am I saying you should not do those things.
I am saying: place your trust in the rightness of loving God above all else -that love and no other love – and those things will cease to matter entirely.
Not one Thought of [God's] makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing that the world believes as true has any meaning in His Mind at all (T-25.VII.3:3-4).
The only choice that we can make – the only choice that matters – is accepting that Truth is found in God and not in the world. Once we have done that, the "rest is up to God, and not to you" (T-25.VII.3:12).
In every moment – at work, at play, in the garden, at our son or daughter's soccer game, baking bread or walking in the forest – we are given again the chance to choose the Love of God above all else.
In a sense, it is a false choice: there is nothing else but God's Love. But so long as we think there is a real alternative, then it remains real to us. And so it is important that we make it: that we look clearly at the world and say gently but firmly: I choose the Love of God.
After that, we shall want – literally – for nothing.

Profile of Brian Cox
Dr. Brian Cox, PhD
- Post-doctoral Fellow, Developmental & Stem Cell Biology
1. Where are you from? Where did you study?
I am from North York, Toronto. I did my undergraduate and masters degrees in applied biochemistry at the University of Guelph. I then pursued my PhD at the University of Toronto and I am now completing my post-doctorate with Dr. Janet Rossant here at SickKids. I am focusing on developmental biology but not in the classical sense. I like to use more modern approaches like proteomics, genomics and transcriptional profiling.
2. What are you researching right now?
I am working on a few projects right now that are quite diverse.
One of the proteomics projects I am working on looks at human and mouse placentas, through microarray and proteomics profiling. This is a large collaborative project with scientists at University of Toronto, The Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute at Mount Sinai and the University Health Network Research Institutes. Recently, we have published the similarities and differences of gene expression in mouse and human placental vascular regions. In the next phase of this project we have been comparing the common set of expressed proteins with changes in gene expression in placental diseases like preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). These diseases are fairly common affecting about five per cent of all pregnancies. Through our research, we want to see which ones associated with the disease in humans are also expressed in animal models. By uncovering this, we can try to model the human disease in a mouse model. This is a project we have been working on for a few years.
3. Who is your all-time favourite scientist, and why?
I am going to go with Charles Darwin because he was an observational scientist and that's what I am. I believe in the power of observation. When you approach a project with a preconceived hypothesis you may blind yourself to what is really going on, as you try and fit all of your data into what you want the result to be rather than what it really is. Darwin went through life observing and used what he saw and learned to come up with theories that would best explain his observations. I believe that is a very careful way of doing science.
4. What in your opinion is the single most important scientific breakthrough, and why?
I am going to stick with the Darwin theme and suggest evolution. Once we realized that things can evolve, we were then given the opportunity to think about why. How do organisms carry sets of traits and how do those traits get altered through evolution? If you link that in with (Gregor) Mendel's work you realize that there are these units called genes and they can be altered and that's evolution. The concept of evolution really underpins everything.
5. What are your major interests outside the lab?
When I was younger I was in several bands and I played a lot of music. I still have a lot of musical equipment and I play the guitar occasionally. I also enjoy being outdoors biking and camping or playing with my three-year-old son.
6. Why science?
I don't think I chose science, it chose me. It was just the thing that I always did. I always had questions and I was always observing and then trying to understand how everything worked and why it behaved in a particular way.
I can remember eating an apple when I was a kid. I bit into it and saw the seeds inside and it occurred to me that we don't eat the seeds. I thought why does this piece of food we eat have a piece that we don't eat? That just didn't make any sense to me. So then I asked why and my mother showed me that when you plant the seeds you would get a tree. I am always curious and that is why science and I are a perfect fit.
7. Why SickKids?
I think SickKids is an interesting blend of corporate and academic. I worked at a start up biotech company for several years and although I don't have any interest in going back, I know there are advantages of industry. SickKids is a large company in a sense and it has centralization and organization like a company has but it still has the academic feel and freedom to it. SickKids is an excellent place made up of a tremendous grouping of highly skilled and motivated people and that excites me. Most of the projects I am involved in here are collaborations with other researchers and I like that a lot.
8. What is the most controversial question in your field right now?
The most controversial question coming out of our field right now is: Does understanding the genetic cause of a disease actually lead to a cure? Everyone agrees that if we know the genetic cause of a disease then we are able to screen for it, but that doesn't mean we can cure it. For example, since the discovery of the gene that causes cystic fibrosis (CF) it is easy to determine who has the disease. Patients of CF now have a longer life expectancy but it is not because we have cured the disease. Although we identified the disease-causing gene of CF 20 years ago and have developed many therapies, we still don't have a "magic bullet" cure. I think that is the controversy now. We are getting better at identifying a disease-causing gene, but the question is: Are we getting better at finding the cures for genetic diseases?

Passu and Shimshal valleys have been two of the most visited regions of Gojal valley. Passu is famous because it is home of the Batura Glacier. Adding more to the beauty of Passu, standing at the Northern end of the village, is Mount Tupopdon. Inspired by its unique structural attributes tourists have promoted the peak by giving it new names. Some call it "Passu Cones" and others "Passu Cathedral". Mount Tupopdon is the most photographed peak of the region.

Alberta's Occupational Health and Safety Act will be comprehensively reviewed for the first time since its initial conception more than 40 years ago.
"Right now, we have an OHS Act that doesn't respect the fundamentals of worker safety in Alberta," Gil McGowan, President of the Alberta Federation of Labour, said in a news release.
"All workers deserve healthy and safe workplaces from their first shift through to retirement. Alberta workplaces and the nature of Albertans' work have changed significantly during the past 40 years, we need to make sure the province's laws and best practices are helping keep Albertans safe at work," said Christina Gray, minister of Labour.
Although various amendments have been made to Alberta's OHS Act over the years, many of the labor laws have remained untouched since 1976. At its basic conception, the current regulations leave Alberta workers more vulnerable than others, with elementary safety provisions framed as suggestions rather than enforceable rules. "The act is full of token language that sounds good on the surface," McGowan said, "but doesn't amount to any meaningful, enforceable protections for workers, especially compared to other provinces."
Everything from compliance and enforcement to employee engagement and prevention will be examined to make sure standards and practices better reflect changes in a modern workplace.
"As our understanding of technology and hazards changes, we need a fast, effective way to change our laws," McGowan said. "Workers deserve the benefit of the latest research to protect their health and safety, particularly in dangerous fields. No worker should have to work in unsafe, unprotected conditions for decades simply because we lack legal mechanisms to address a known problem."
They will also address how to assure that employers who put workers in harm's way will be held accountable. This issue was recently brought to light after Calgary-based Suncor Energy pleaded guilty last month for failing to ensure the health and safety of an operator who drowned on the job in 2014, resulting in a $300,000 fine. In an interview with CBC, McGowan said a tougher sentence is needed in cases like this.
"That fine doesn't fit the crime," he said.
Any stakeholders, including employers, can take the OHS review survey and send in written submissions until the ongoing review commences Oct. 16.

Nocturia, also known as Nycturia, is a discomforting disease that gives urinating sensations to the person in the night which makes them to wake up from their sleep. It is common in both men and women and is more common in old people. People above 60 suffer the most from it – the frequency of urination during the day increases too. Two toilet trips every night and seven to eight trips during day is usual for the sufferers of this condition.
The word 'Nocturia' comes from Nocturnal Polyuria which means over-production of urine at night. In women, menopause, child birth or Pelvic Prolapse can give rise to this condition. Generally, prostate in women get enlarged which pushes the tubular structure and stops complete evacuation from the bladder. This disorder is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. In men, besides Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, the condition also occurs due to drinking large amount of liquid before sleeping and consumption of alcoholic or caffeine. Children mostly have this medical condition until they are ten, after which it is cured.
Nocturia is frequently experienced by those who have previously suffered from bet-wetting problems. The idea of accidentally wetting the bed makes people hypersensitive to the sensation of urinating. Another factor that initiates this condition is drinking large amounts of liquids before going to bed – it results in increase in urine in the bladder. Reducing the amount of caffeine and liquid before bedtime can fight this problem. In women, pregnancy could be the cause of developing this condition too and it resolves after childbirth. Other than that, medicinal side effects and disorders can also give rise to Nocturia. There are drugs that are directly responsible for the condition as they make the body produce more urine. In addition to that, drugs that treat cardiac disorders cause Nocturia as a side effect. Heart failure, kidney failure and bladder infections give way to the disease and the Diabetics are also unable to sleep without getting up to urinate. People with Sleep Apnea stop breathing for a few seconds while sleeping which causes them to wake up. This leads to light sleep and makes people get up to release the urine.
One of the major symptoms of Nocturia is getting up from sleep to urinate more than once during th e night. By and large, a normal healthy person is able to sleep 8 hours without any need to get up to relieve himself but the patients of Nocturia feel the need to wake up and take a trip to the bathroom which disrupts their sleep. Another symptom is that the person with the condition releases high volume of urine – around 2 liters and may be more. He is unable to hold it and is forced to wake up.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis by the doctors is done by asking the patients the amount of urine they pass during the day and how often. Because it can also be caused by side effects of medicines and health disorders, he would also question the patient about his medications he's using or other conditions he's suffering from. A doctor conducts Urinalysis to check the urine for infection to determine if that is the cause.
Once the patient is positively diagnosed of it, the patient is suggested medicines and asked to make lifestyle changes. There are medicines like Lasix, Bumex and DDAVP that are prescribed to cure the disease while the patients are also asked to reduce the liquid and caffeine intake and advised to take afternoon naps. For some, herbal therapy helps in treating Nocturia too. Proper treatment and diagnosis can help the patient recover in just a few days time.

屈曲捩りモード音又型水晶振動子の周波数温度特性 Frequency Temperature Characteristics of Flexural-Torsional Mode Tuning Fork Type Quartz Crystal Resonator
It is well known that a flexural-torsional quartz crystal resonator which couples a torsional mode vibration to a flexural one has a cubic curve in frequency temperature characteristics as well as an AT-cut quartz crystal resonator. This paper describes the frequency temperature characteristics of a tuning fork type quartz crystal resonator which couples the torsional mode vibration to the flexural one and the estimated results of the various constants for the resonator manufactured for trial experiments. First, a secular equation coupled the torsional mode vibration to the flexural one, is calculated. From the secular equation, frequency temperature characteristics for the flexural-torsional mode tuning fork type resonator have been theoretically analized, namely, concerning a relationship of the resonant frequency, the frequency temperature coefficients versus thickness, a normalized frequncy, and a cut angle. Next, the calculated values are compared with the experimental ones by manufacturing tuning fork type flexural-torsional quartz crystal resonators. At the same time, the various constants of the resonators manufactured for trial experiments are estimated. As a result, it is confirmed that tuning fork type flexural-torsional quartz crystal resonators with excellent frequency temperature characteristics, low crystal impedance, and a high quarity factor are realized.

WESTFIELD, a township of Hampden county, Massachusetts, U.S.A., on the Westfield river, about so m. W. of Springfield. Pop. (1890) 9805; (1900) 12,310 (2441 being foreign-born); (1905, state census) 13,611; (19ro) 16,044. It is served by the New York, New Haven & Hartford and the Boston.& Albany railways, and is connected with Springfield, Holyoke and Huntington by electric lines. The township lies in and on either side of a deep alluvial valley, 6-7 m. long from east to west and 2-3 M. wide, and includes the large village of Westfield and the small villages of East Farms, Mundale, Middle Farms, Little River, West Farms and Wyben. In the township are the Westfield State Normal School (1844), the Westfield Atheneum (incorporated in 1864), which in 1910 had a library of 25,000 volumes, and the Noble hospital (1893). Westfield Academy, a famous secondary school, chartered in 1793 and opened in 1800, was closed in 1866 and its building and grounds were sold in 1877 to the township for a public high school. Woronoco Park (200 acres), in the western part of the township, is a tract of great natural beauty. West-field manufactures more whips than any other place in the United States, the factory of the United States Whip Company being one of the largest in the world; this industry was begun here early in the 19th century. Other important manufactures are foundry and machine-shop products, paper, thread and bicycles. In 1905 the value of the factory product was $5,818,130, an increase of 31% since 1900. A trading post, known by the Indian name Woronoco (or Woronoko), was established here about 1640. In 1669 the township, which had previously been part of Springfield, was erected under its present name—it was then the westernmost township in Massachusetts. Land was added to it in 1713, and parts were taken from it to add to Southwick (1770 and 1779), to Montgomery (1780), to Russell (1792), and to West Springfield (1802). See James C. Greenough, " The Town of Westfield, " in vol. ii. (pp. 317–456) of A History of Hampden County, Massachusetts (3 vols., 1902), edited by Alfred M. Copeland; and John Alden, History of Westfield (Springfield, 1851). WESTGATE-ON-SEA, a watering-place in the Isle of Thanet parliamentary division of Kent, England, 2 M. W. by S. of Margate on the South-Eastern & Chatham railway. Pop. (1901) 2738. It is of modern growth and noted for its healthy climate. Facing the sea there are gardens and promenades over 1 m. in length, and there is a marine drive along the top of the cliffs. There are also golf links and other appointments of a popular resort. BIRC11INGTON, immediately to the west (pop. 2128), is also a growing resort. The church of All Saints is Perpendicular, with an Early English tower, and contains some interesting monuments.End of Article: WESTFIELD
