Choosing Helpful and Beneficial Toys for your Kids
For every parent or guardian, it is necessary to choose the suitable types of toys for their kids. Even in the toys that we give our children, it is a must to carefully choose those that can help in their growth and development. There are plenty of types of toys. If you go to the mall, you will find different types that will catch the attention of your kids. Do not allow your children to play with just any kind of toys they see. It is your concern as the parent or as the guardian to identify if such toys are safe and can be beneficial to your children.
In shopping for toys, there are certain things that you need to consider first before eventually allowing your kids to play with them. To guide you in choosing the best types of toys, we will give you some tips on how to properly shop for safe and educational toys. These tips aim for you to find the right types of toys for the development of your kids.
Choose Age Appropriate Toys
You must take into consideration the age of your kids when you shop for their toys. Choose from the variety of toys that are designed for the age bracket of your children. Eventually, these toys can help hone the talents, skills as well as the mental development of your children. Your kids should only play with toys that are appropriate for their age.
Choose Toys that are Safe to Play with
Safety should be of utmost importance in choosing the toys for your kids. The safety of the kids should be the priority of every parent or guardian. Toys that are made of toxic materials should be avoided.
Keep your kids away from toys that contain chemicals that can be harmful to the health of your children. Also, do not allow your kids to play with pointed toys that can possibly cause danger to them or to the other kids. Make sure that what they are playing with cannot cause any danger to them and to the people around them.
Prioritize Educational Toys and Materials
In choosing toys for your children, you must determine first if these materials can help in the physical, mental and social development of your kids. Kids love toys and through these toys they will learn and absorb many things. Assure that the types of toys they are playing with can be of great benefit to their growth. Toys can be your instruments in helping with the children's growth and development. It is possible to teach kids with basic lessons through the use of toys. Be careful with picking the right type of toys that can elevate the capabilities of your children.
Remember that toys are the only things that matter in the eyes of children during their childhood. They adore toys. While they are young, they will keep on playing with their toys. Do not underestimate the power of toys when it comes to instilling values and lessons to your children.

I heard this story on the radio this morning, and knew I had to share it. It seems somebody has abandoned a Lamborghini in the emirate of Sharjah, or maybe they just forgot where they parked it. I don't know that you could really miss a purple Lambo though. Here's the story: Lamborghini 'abandoned' in Sharjah street | GulfNews.com
I should mention when looking for the story online to share, I actually found another one about an abandoned Lamborghini at the Dubai airport last year. It sat for over 20 months before they auctioned it off. If you've ever parked at the Dubai airport, you know that the parking fees probably totaled more than the car.....Just kidding, but it was probably close.

A children's hospice charity is calling for cyclists to sign up for its fundraising bike ride on Sunday September 27.
Chestnut Sussex 100 cycle ride will start at Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum near Uckfield, covering some beautiful Sussex scenery.
Last year's first ever hospice bike ride saw 300 riders raising £35,000 and this year organisers are hoping for an even bigger and better event.
Event organiser Kerry O'Neill said: "We've learned a lot from the first Chestnut Sussex 100.
"We had a lot of positive comments from riders who enjoyed the scenic yet challenging routes and we are building on that to improve the experience this year.
"As part of that we have added a third route, so riders now have a choice between 31km, 64km or 103km routes. We are hoping that this will mean there really is something for everyone."
Riders will pass through towns and villages including Horam, Herstmonceux, Catsfield, Hooe, Rushlake Green and Hadlow Down.
Chestnut Tree currently cares for 300 children with life-shortening conditions from across Sussex and South-East Hampshire. Director of Children's Services at Chestnut Tree Linda Perry said: "We are aiming to double the number of children with life-shortening conditions and their families that we are caring for in East Sussex, but to do that we need to raise awareness and funds.
"We receive less than eight per cent of our funding from central government so we rely on fundraising events such as the Chestnut Sussex 100 to enable us to continue to offer and expand our services."
Previous participants in the Chestnut Sussex 100 have described the event as amazing and enjoyable.
One rider said: "The event has been organised brilliantly. The route was challenging but manageable and took in some really beautiful parts of the county.
"It was well sign posted which made it really easy to navigate and everyone at the pit stops was fantastic."
Anybody who would like to take part in this year's event can find out more and register at www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk/sussex100.
Registration for the event closes on Monday September 14 2015 and costs £35.
Entry is open to anyone over the age of 18 (over 16's can participate if accompanied by an adult) and includes chip timing and refreshments en route.
The charity runs a hospice near Arundel which provides care to children with life shortening illnesses.
It also looks after 55 children in East Sussex by providing support to them in their homes.
The hospice is currently trying to reach out to more children in East Sussex and raise more funds to help them with its Hands Up campaign. Chestnut-Tree-House.org.uk

Last week, I shared these {homemade oreo cookies} that served as decoration as well as actual layers in this monster of a cake.
But before we get to the cake I thought I would share a few photos from his birthday celebrations. What's a 21st birthday without a little bit of web embarrassment? Please excuse the blurriness. It comes with the whole turning 21 thing.
And now you understand why he couldn't even stomach a nibble of his birthday cake for several days...Happy Birthday Brendan!
Entertaining pictures. Check. Now for the cake.
I mentioned in the cookie post that just because I made the cake with the cookies doesn't mean that you have to do the same. If you just want some homemade Oreos...go for the cookies. If you just want a massive Oreo cake in your life...go for the cake. However, I will tell you that the combination took the cake to an entirely different level and I would highly recommend it. Plus, how can you ever go wrong with an Oreo cake stuffed and topped with homemade Oreo cookies?
That was a trick question. You can't.
Makes: One 6-inch 3 Layer Cake Prep Time: 15 minutes + 1 - 4 hours cool time (for chocolate) Bake Time: 1 hour 20 minutes - 1 1/2 hours + Cool Time Total Time: 4 hours (minimum)
{Printable Recipe}
for the cake-from Flour Cookbook (of course)
1/2 cup dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup boiling water
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces and at room temperature
1/4 cup crème fraîche
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
for the frosting-
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups heavy cream
- In a small heatproof bowl, combine the cocoa powder and unsweetened chocolate. Pour the boiling water on top, and whisk until the mixture is completely combined and smooth. Let cool to room temperature, about 4 hours or 1 hour in the refrigerator whisking every 15 minutes.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°. Butter and flour three 6-inch cake pans. --see note
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a handheld mixer), mix together flour, salt, baking soda, and brown sugar on low speed for about 10 seconds. On low speed, add the butter and continue to beat for 30-40 seconds, or until the butter is thoroughly combined and the mixture resembles dough.
- In a small bowl whisk together the crème fraîche, eggs, and egg yolks until well mixed. On low speed, slowly pour the egg mixture into the butter/flour mixture and mix to combine. Turn up the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 2 minutes, or until fluffy and light. Stop the mixer several times to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Turn the mixer to low speed and pour in the cooled chocolate. Mix for about 10 seconds to combine. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl again and mix until the chocolate mixture is thoroughly incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, or until the tops spring back when pressed in the middle with a fingertip. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- While the cake is cooling, make the frosting by combining cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or a handheld mixer) and mix on medium speed until smooth. With the mixer still on, slowly add the heavy cream. Stop and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl while you continue to mix until the frosting can hold a stiff peak.
- Once the cake has completely cooled, remove one layer from the pan and place it top side down on a cake plate or stand. Spread an even layer of frosting (and several Oreo cookies if you want) on top and add another layer. Repeat this step with the second layer. After all three layers are stacked, spoon the frosting on top of the cake and start to spread it down the sides and around the cake as evenly as possible. Decorate with Oreos if you have them.
- Enjoy!

The Young Designers of Iloilo had a fashion show at Flow and I was lucky to attend it when I was there. I'm quite pleased of how things are going and I really felt proud because I mentored some of them. Here's some of the pieces they showed and my thoughts on their collection which I hope they would take constructively:
She was into dots, bows and layering of raw fabrics. Still very much Angelica when it comes to color and fabrication. She was successful in giving a vibe of this certain girl who's quite girly but a rebel. I wish for her to refine this look and really evolve the whole concept because I think it's wonderful. The quality of construction is very important and not just the whole aesthetic of the look and I felt that she should also focus more on that because she's one of the few young designers I know who can really sew.
Chic, no?
The chartreuse top sure pops out and mixed with blue is simply perfect.
Another fave of mine from her.
Androgynous, rock and monochrome are the preferred catchphrases usually described for Peer's signature looks. His consistency to explore this aesthetic and to be able to churn out successful looks that are wearable but at the same time edgy is something people really have noticed from him.
This sort of minimalist look is quite tricky to pull off and I suggest to Peer that he should be mindful of using better fabrication in some of his pieces to give it more luxe. I felt that some pieces, although quite amazing in pattern, lacked that certain richness and sensuality of feel. Also, one bane for minimalist designers is that a small mistake is quite glaring in a stark design. So keeping the construction clean, clean, clean is the way to go.
His style is something I can relate to since it's quite similar to what I do.
The combo of strict button down shirt with garter jeans pushes this look far from boring.
You can never go wrong with an all-black ensembles which you can separate and mix with other pieces in your wardrobe.
Dodie told me he was inspired by lingerie and ruffles and that's exactly what he did. His collection was most fun because it wasn't overthought.
I can't stress how important it is to look at your collection with an editor's eye and you really have to force yourself to say no when everything is overwrought with elements that simply clutter your whole vision. It's also wise to re-invent elements that you are comfortable using. Like think of other ways on how to use ruffles. This purple dress with the belt is one of my fave simply because it's commercial, wearable but at the same time chic and styled right.
Among the set who showed that night it was Marvin who had a gamut of styles and looks. I think he was successful in showing a lot of ideas and really pushed what can be done: tailoring a soft fabric, draping, accessories, sheer, floral, etc. It reminded me so much of some London designers from the 90's. My only concern is that each ideas of his were never fleshed out to come up with a strong statement that would resonate to be memorable. It's important that a designer's collection should appear as cohesive as possible to make an impact. I suggest he works on one concept to really mine and explore. That way he can slowly develop his signature look and build more strong pieces.
One of my fave from Marvin.
Another one of his interesting looks.
Glam is the alley of Jor-el and he delivered that night. His collection was sensual, sexy and energetic. His mix of jersey in electric blue and ribbed gray exudes the style of Halston during the disco era. His pieces also have lace inserts that amps up the textural factor. I like how some pieces have safety pin beadings. There were feather accessories, and other twined add ons which in my opinion have been signatures of other designers.
There's always that danger of using elements that may deduce people that you've copied from other designers that's why it's important for one to be very conscious of how each outfit is styled. If you've seen it somewhere then I guess it's much better not to use it at all. Of course, nobody can claim originality nowadays but there's a thin line of being inspired and being a Xerox copy of something.
Jor-el's pants is currently the en vogue cut. The ribbed lines gives it a very textural and graphic feel to it.
One piece which mixes lace and draping in electric blue jersey.
All in all, the fashion show and the clothes of the members of Young Designers of Iloilo is more than promising. It's one of their best, so far! It simply shows talent abounds in Iloilo and I simply can't wait to see what they will offer next.

Had he done this, he would be a hero right now, rather than a joke.

Throughout the Matariki booklet and poster, my concept celebrates the Maori New Year and Maori Culture while displaying the information in a clear and bold manner.
I used hierarchy to prioritise the importance of the different languages, Maori and English, while creating harmony through creating a consistent system used throughout the poster and booklet.
I used the typeface Whakahare, by Johnson Whitehira as it is perfect for this celebration of Maori culture as well as creating a contemporary feel. The Whakahare font also contributes to the hierarchy of the information by creating contrast to the font Ubuntu. I chose Ubuntu condensed and regular as the font has a tall and thin form for a contemporary sans-serif typeface, to match the form of the Whakahare typeface, while being a very legible font in the body text.
I used a deep navy to create the feel of New Zealand night skies, a Pantone red to communicate Maori culture and white as it represents the light created by the stars and reflected off the moon while creating a sharp contrast.
I implemented a traditional calendar format, in landscape, as I feel this format best displays the information when combined with a strict grid system.
The structure implemented throughout the booklet aims to clearly display the information while continuing the harmony between the Maori and English languages.

Authorities Investigating Death Of Infant Girl In Savage
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Authorities are investigating the death of an infant girl at a home in Savage.
Reports say that police were called to the home Thursday morning for an unspecified emergency and officers were told on the way that a small child was not breathing. When officers arrived they found a 3-month-old girl who was unresponsive and a family member administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Officers took over CPR as fire and ambulance personnel came to the scene. Police say the child was taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.
An autopsy to determine the cause of death is being conducted by the Hennepin County medical examiner's officer. The child's identity has not been released.

Chicken by the kitchen door
An interesting thought crossed my mind. I thought how simple, bare and primitive a chicken's life is. It is satisfied with eating crumbs, worms, seeds and anything edible it finds on the ground, grass, plants and even pools of water. A chicken sleeps on tree branches or any nook and cranny of an existing structure, the more dilapidated, the more secure for them.
Humans just let them be. After all, chickens are harmless and quite delicious when cooked.
If chickens were human, ah they would probably explore the same kind of curious thought I am having right now.
What a thought.

That data determines whether or not the Commission can provide investments within a county as well as what level of match is required for Commission funded projects. A breakdown of distress data categories and a current list of distressed counties for the 2018 grant round can be found at the Assessing Distress in NBRC Counties page.
Who has received EID investment funds in the past?
You can find a listing of funding recipients by year on each State page: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York.

For the last few days I've spent some time watching a handful of interviews with a couple of the authors we've recently been working with. I've picked out a few that I'd like to go over and mold together into a review. I find both the authors interviewed (William Gibson and Philip K Dick) to be extremely interesting. The interviews themselves I found to be entertaining regardless of relevance to our class, however, I think they may also shed some light on some of the things we've been discussing or perhaps just open some whole new topics of conversation.
This first interview is with PKD and about halfway through it takes a turn and starts to focus on Bladerunner, as the interview's title would suggest, and what PKD thought of it. However, the beginning, in which Dick is talking about Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, I found to be the best part. We've discussed in class the relationships between humans and androids within the novel and I was very interested in how Dick saw the androids that he created as real people. He didn't envision the androids as technological progress running rampant. Rather, he used them as a metaphor for real humans that behaved in a non-human psychological way. His inspiration for this came from Nazis that he found to be so lacking of appropriate affect that he didn't believe they could be classified as human.
I was also interested in the way Dick describes the bounty hunter's job. I think we may have touched on this subject a bit in class, but Dick explicitly states here that he wanted to explore the effect that Deckard's job would have on him. Does killing a bad person make you a bad person too? In an attempt to save the world from a population of wickedly inhuman individuals, is the wickedness passed on? Can you go through with this process without dehumanizing yourself?
That was a lot of questions that I threw around there so I'll just give one more note on the PKD interview before I move on. As far as the actual talk on Bladerunner went I really liked how Dick focused on how much information is thrown at the viewer in the movie. This is precisely what we were talking about when likening Bladerunner to Neuromancer.
So this next interview is with Gibson and seems to align pretty well with some of the stuff that we've talked about in class. One of the things I liked most was his explanation concerning his coinage of "cyberspace." He describes his inspiration coming from watching children playing video games. He saw a large structure with a tiny screen on it that kids stared at and he was fascinated by the way they were totally captivated by it. This led to his realization that they actually wanted to be on the other side; they wanted to be inside the game. This description makes me think of the way our society is becoming more and more intertwined with technology and the way we're linking on various levels with cyberspace.
I was also fascinated with Gibson's view on solitude. 30 years ago, he says, people were walking down the street and they were completely alone. Now, everybody walking down the street is talking or texting. They're communicating with someone else, whether they are physically with them or not. Solitude does not exist in the same way that it did 30 years ago. I'm not sure what this means for society but I do find it very interesting, as I do with this entire interview as well.
This video is a little bonus to add on at the end of my main review. This is PKD describing us living in a false reality. He's literally describing the matrix (with déjà vu signaling a change in the system and everything). The speech is a little choppy with the jumps it makes (not sure if there is a full one out there) but very interesting nonetheless.

Decide to be a great partner0 Comments Published by Newsroom June 18th, 2008 in Couples, Relationship
EMail This Post
Decide To Be Great! Great relationships do not just happen. They are the result of bold decisions. It would take years to realize why some relationships succeed while others fail. Individual after individual cited. I don't know why she left me. I was a good husband. I don't know why he left me for another woman. I was a good wife.
Eventually I realized that the difference was in the label. Good only gets poor results and poor results are not enough to carry a relationship, let alone make it satisfying. You have to decide to be GREAT because a great partner will do many things that a good partner will not. By making this distinction you will set a better course for yourself and thus you will get the kind of relationship that you have always wanted.

Welcome to Sicily. I'm currently writing this whilst sat out on our terrace with the stars twinkling, a breeze blowing, candles burning and I'm drinking an ice-cold Peroni attempting to edit and sort through the gazillion photos I've taken so far.
Easily distracted I thought I'd start off by showing you around our amazing Sicilian home.
Welcome to Tenuta Ferrantelli.
Meandering our way along the coastline and arriving at night time slightly tired and hot we checked out, in this order; the pool, the kitchen then the bedrooms and bathrooms. The rest is just semantics as far as I'm concerned. A comfy soft bed and a cool large pool are what make it for me. I was a very happy girl. I was even happier when I woke to this view from our balcony the next day.
We felt instantly very, very much at home.
Located in the countryside of Castellammare del Golfo the house is structured on two levels and surrounded by olive and fruit trees with mountains to each side, a valley to one and the sea to the right. The house was built in harmony with the landscape and the rustic tradition and the use of wood, marble floors and terracotta make the rooms cosy and warm. Traditional features and furnishings make this home feel utterly unique and the owners have done an amazing job of making it welcoming and fresh.
Crisp cotton white sheets in every bedroom, a well stocked supply of Sicilian herbs, oils and spices in the kitchen…
An endless supply of towels to take advantage of…which comes in very handy when a shower outdoors becomes a regular occurrence.
Bursting with olive trees, plums, lemons, flowers, herbs, wisteria, roses, you've never smelled anywhere quite like it!
But back to that pool…
Cleverly designed with pockets of seating hidden around every corner, two shady terraces, lots of super comfortable loungers, and a BBQ.
Our children are total water babies and will be out swimming, diving and screaming as soon as they're awake. Breakfast eaten as quickly as they possibly can and they're in! And what a pool it is.
Mornings in Sicily are lazy and wonderful.
At lunch time we've eaten lots that is grown right here, ripe and ready to pick.
Honeydew melons
Crisp juicy apples
Plump red tomatoes
I found a huge pot of basil growing around the back of the kitchen so giddy with excitement I quickly knocked up some gnocchi with tomatoes and garlic sauce, sprinkled on some mozzarella and threw over some of fragrant basil leaves.
This is my favourite sort of recipe. Simple, speedy & delicious.
Lunch is served!
We've explored more of the grounds in an effort to work off the croissants and pasta.
There's a large terrace, too. The perfect place for alfresco dining and cocktails.
If you've read my blog before you'll know i'm a lover of Italy already, if not then watch this space – I can't wait to share more of our Sicilian adventures.
Should you feel the urge to go book a holiday to Sicily, (especially upon hearing how miserable the weather is back home right now), I thoroughly recommend staying in a villa. Our days at Tenuta Ferrantelli are spent walking in the olive groves, playing in the pool, listening to music, reading and snoozing.
No rules, no pool closing times and utter bliss for all.
***UPDATE*** You can also have a little watch of this video of the villa if you fancy, its super quick but totally cool and reflects how lovely the villa and surrounding areas were.

The latest animation offering from the mouse company is "Brother Bear". According to FAB reviewers, who voted "Bear" FAB's Award of Excellence, the film's message - that all on earth are of equal importance and deserving of love and respect - is one all should take to heart and makes "Bear" worth seeing. Phil Collins, who did the memorable, Academy Award-winning "You'll Be In My Heart" from Disney's "Tarzan", provides the songs.

Breaking News Emails
The Society of Professional Journalists has recognized the NBC News Investigative Unit, The Virginian-Pilot, and the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley for their combined reporting on a troubled Navy helicopter program.
The judges of SPJ's prestigious Sigma Delta Chi awards singled out the collaborative report, "Sea Dragon Down," which was broadcast in February 2015 on "Nightly News," as the best investigative TV news report in the country last year.
"Sea Dragon Down epitomized the basic strengths of investigative reporting," the contest judges wrote. "It exposed a systemic problem and prompted powerful results -- saving lives."
Crashes Cast Doubt on Safety of Navy's Sea Dragon HelicopterFeb. 3, 201504:26
The Nightly News report, broadcast in conjunction with a series of written reports that ran on NBCNews.com and in The Virginian-Pilot , examined the decisions that led the Navy to keep its MH-53E Sea Dragon helicopters in service years longer than planned -- and the human cost when one of the aging choppers caught fire and crashed off the coast of Virginia in January 2014, killing three sailors.
Watch the Nightly News report "Sea Dragon Down"
The unusual collaboration of network television, a mid-sized metro newspaper and a journalism graduate student "was inspiring," the contest judges wrote. The reporting team consisted of correspondent Cynthia McFadden and producer Anna Schecter of the NBC News Investigative Unit, Pilot investigative reporter Mike Hixenbaugh, and Jason Paladino, at the time a graduate student at IRP.
Read the original NBCNews.com report
Days after the NBC broadcast, the news organizations collaborated again, this time on a written story based on internal military emails, revealing that the Marine Corps and Navy had failed to adequately address the safety hazard that caused the 2014 crash in the remaining Sea Dragons and CH-53E Super Stallions, a nearly identical version flown by the Marines.
The top general in charge of Marine Corps aviation later said he learned of the lingering safety hazard from reading the story online, soon after it was published. Afterward, he "had a small meltdown," he said. Then he temporarily grounded his fleet of more than 150 Super Stallions and called for the most comprehensive one-time inspection and repair process in the helicopter program's history.
Navy and Marine Corps crews spent months after that inspecting the helicopters for unsafe wiring and fuel lines and making thousands of repairs.
According to the contest judges, the NBC/Pilot/IRP team "told a compelling story in a traditional way: it has a moving beginning, an illuminating middle and a sense of completion at the end, with the interview saying, we can't lose another life in one of these helicopters."
The collaboration between NBC News and its partners is ongoing.

"Very good, a couple of slight glitches"
Lovely rural location, ideal for bird watching. Very warm welcome and the owner had gone to extra lengths to find someone who could tell us the best bird spotting places.
I unfortunately we had issues with the free sat, only being able to get BBC1 and 2 plus the Welsh channel all week and as the owner was away we had to suffer, at least there was WiFi.
Could do with a sheet that explains how things work and where things are as we only found the hidden cupboard on the last night which was hiding the broom, iron etc.Obviously if the owner isn't on holiday this isn't a problem !
Lovely pub 1 mile away to cater food our food needs.

A Novel Method for Epileptic EEG Classification Using DWT, MGA, and ANFIS: A Real Time Application to Cardiac Patients with Epilepsy
The automatic diagnosis of heart patients with epilepsy by reviewing the EEG recording is highly necessary. It aims to enhance the significant statistical parameters. In this paper a composite method is proposed for seizure classification of cardiac patients. Firstly DWT is employed to analyze the EEG data and obtain the time and frequency domain features. Second, the extracted features were inputted to the ANFIS network to classify the seizure EEG and seizure free EEG signals. Third to improve the statistical performances a modified genetic algorithm (MGA) is used to optimize the classifiers. Sensitivity (SEN), Specificity (SPE), Accuracy (ACC), metric G-mean and Average detection Ratio (ADR) is used to evaluate the performance of this method. The SEN of 99.73%, SPE of 99.12%, ACC of 99.35%, G-mean 99.42% and ADR of 99.43% are yielded on the real patient specific EEG database. The comparison with other detection methods shows the superior performance of this method, which indicates its potential for detecting seizure events in clinical practice of heart patients.

text: Well booking the ticket to Hangzhou proved slightly more complicated as the cashier asked more questions which I did not understand, finally she said something like "no seat" (in Mandarin)... I thought it was a train without seat booking, but no, I just had to stand 5 hours in the train as the train was fully booked! Well after this long trip I arrived in the lovely Hangzhou. As a matter of fact, from the Lonely Planet description I was expecting to find a town similar to Suzhou... I mean interesting but similar. Well if Suzhou is mostly a touristic town, Hangzhou is more like a capital with lots of big shopping malls, big buildings... in addition to hosting important places of Chinese heritage, the main one being the famous West Lake. As a matter of fact I spent the first few days in the hotel, enjoying a nice place, working on my Mandarin, reading, watching TV... recovering from my cold. When the weather improved slightly, I started to go out and enjoy the nice things Hangzhou has to offer... West Lake obviously, some temples, the Longjing village where they grow the Longjing tea, I also went to have massage... by blind masseurs. They are supposed to be the best masseurs but from my experience they are the most violent ones. ahaha... My back was painful for 2 days after the massage. Well.. after one week there it was time to go somewhere else... Shanghai!

Half Full is such a favourite stamp set of mine! Possibly because it's no secret that I do enjoy a glass or half of wine at the end of a day. Most often red wine, but every now and again a Pinot Gris (or Grigio) hits the spot.
I'm not claiming to be the demonstrator who discovered that the label in this stamp set fit into the Scalloped Tag Topper punch, but whoever it was mentioned that she couldn't understand why Stampin' Up!® hadn't shaded the tag in the catalogue to show it had a co-ordinating punch. I agreed that was a very good point, but I have gone a little further. There comes a point in time when you have so many supplies, it is hard to remember which goes with what, so I suggest using a highlighter on the stamp cover to show which have a matching punch. I even wrote Scalloped Tag Topper Punch on the cover underneath this one, but feel the cat is self-evident.
Watercolouring added some colour to the tag, while the leaves from Painted Harvest added background texture.

About year ago Dr. Satterlee at BioMechanics of Las Vegas asked me if I wanted to coach a running group called the Rockin Runners in Henderson. I kept saying, "I really don't have time." He kept asking, and reluctantly I said yes. Today I am very grateful I did say yes. It is a great feeling to see the people from the group finish their first half and full marathon. In June we started training for the Las Vegas Marathon. I asked one of my elite athletes that I coach and a personal trainer, Nancy to help me coach the group. She has proven to be an asset to the group. Together we have coached the group to run the Rock and Roll Marathon that took place today. Nancy ran the half race today and was the first one from our group to finish. She finished in an unofficial time of 1:34. She did outstanding and now is training for the Rock and Roll Arizona full marathon in January.
I live about 3 miles from the race so I dropped a few people off in the morning and parked my car at the Mandalay Bay. Last year I have a very funny story of my marathon experience. If you know me, you know the story. I have an old blog post about it if you want to read it. Last year the course once again went directly in front of my house. I stopped at mile 23 and went home....I know that's lame but I did it. I decided I can never run this race since it goes in front of my house. The temptation is too much. This year I wanted to cheer on the full marathon people so I ran 3 miles from the Mandalay Bay to my house. Does that count for a full? I ran 23 last year and the 3 that I missed last year I got in this year........nice try!
As I was running from Mandalay Bay to my house I saw several people that I know. I saw Chris who was running a pretty good pace. He is a triathlete that I know that competes in Ironman races. I am guessing he had to have finished in 3:30 or so but not sure. Great job Chris!

Next I see Toshie who is an amazing runner. She did the 50 mile run last year in something like 9 hours! 26.2 is no problem for her.
Then Stacey who runs with our Henderson group. She wants to finish sub 4 hr and she did it finishing in 3:53. Great job Stacey!
I ran home and got my dogs Daisy and Tigger and went back out to the course to see if I could spot anyone else. Daisy wanted to run with everyone and was barking like crazy and Margaret noticed us! She runs with us in Henderson too. She was doing excellent. I think she finished in 4:15. By that time I had to take my mutts for a short run and head home.
Facebook is a wonderful thing. I saw pictures on their of Leilani, Dalia, Ronnie, and Tiffany after the race. They are all looking great after their 13.1 run! Their pictures are at the top of this. For most of the group this was their first half or full marathon. When you accomplish something like that the feeling is amazing.
I am so glad to be a small part of helping people accomplish their goals. It is so rewarding to see people achieve a goal they have worked so hard for.
We will start our running group back up after the New Year. If you want a group to run with then we have a great group of people! Here is a photo of our last run before the marathon!

Stars: Xavier West, Juliette Salom, Paris Hay, Liam Pope, Harrison Bradley, Hamish Triggs, Tiriel Mora, Marty Rhone and Reg Gorman.
Writer: Bethia Triggs and Glenn Triggs.
Director: Glenn Triggs.
Rating: 3.5/5
Drawing upon a film education forged from a decade when adventure, imagination and the teen demographic ruled the box office, Glenn Triggs has conjured a rousing family adventure in The Comet Kids. While the under-15s squeal with delight at the escapades of their bigscreen alter egos, parents can bask in some nostalgic warmth recalling the films of the 1980s that have lovingly inspired the prolific young director's fourth feature.
A nursing home visit kick-starts the recollections of old man Lucas (Aussie acting great, Reg Gorman), who ponders a defining moment from his small town Americana upbringing. Young Lucas (a very fine Xavier West) is enamoured with his astronomer dad (Tiriel Mora), who has stumbled upon a previously unknown comet that hits earth not far from their sleepy burg. When ill health tragically claims his dad, Lucas finds himself in a fight with his father's opportunistic offsider Cliff (70s pop heartthrob, Marty Rhone) to stake a claim for the space rock's discovery and ownership.
This means 'cross-country adventure' for Lucas and his very ragtag group of misfits chums, amongst them schlubby action-man Guns (Liam Pope), nerdy would-be magician Tricks (Harrison Bradley), tech wizard Inertia (Paris Hay), sweet new girl in town Claudia (Juliette Salom) and junk-yard dog turned soft-touch, Archie (the family dog Hamish, one of several of the Triggs clan to help out on the production). Narrative momentum occasionally takes a back seat to shenanigans (a public pool set piece, featuring a butter-drinking lifeguard; at least three nail-biting escapes from the bad guys), but young audiences caught up in the moment won't mind immediate thrills over plot pacing.
The big three influences are clearly Richard Donner's The Goonies (1985), Joe Dante's Explorers (1985) and Rob Reiner's Stand By Me (1986), with an over-arching adherence to sentimentality that is pure Spielberg. Triggs references the great director's works even in the most throwaway moments; when 'Old Lucas' is left waiting for his family at the nursing home front door, one recalls a similar moment befalling Bill Quinn in 'Kick the Can', Spielberg's segment of 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie.
If audiences get a whiff that this type of thickly-rendered homage is not from the filmmaker's heart, resentment can fester. But Triggs goes all out to honour his filmic inspirations, exhibiting his own strengths as a storyteller and filmmaker while still embracing the legacy left by great 80s family cinema. With a committed cast and tech-savvy crew (DOP's Bernard Winter's widescreen camerawork is lovely; the production design team convincingly recall the period setting), The Comet Kids proves an entirely winning, wonderfully engaging throwback to the grand-scale PG-rated romp.

|Bertossi A. A., Pinotti M. C., Tan R. B. Channel assignment with separation for interference avoidance in wireless networks. In: Ieee Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, vol. 14 (3) pp. 222 - 235. IEEE, 2003.
|Given an integer $sigma > 1$, a vector $(delta_1, delta_2, ldots, delta_{sigma-1})$ of nonnegative integers, and an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, an $L(delta_1, delta_2, ldots,delta_{sigma-1})$-coloring of $G$ is a function $f$ from the vertex set $V$ to a set of nonnegative integers such that $| f(u) -f(v) | ge delta_i$, if $d(u,v) = i, 1 le i le sigma-1, $ where $d(u,v)$ is the distance (i.e. the minimum number of edges) between the vertices $u$ and $v$. An optimal $L(delta_1, delta_2, ldots,delta_{sigma-1})$-coloring for $G$ is one using the smallest range $lambda$ of integers over all such colorings. This problem has relevant application in channel assignment for interference avoidance in wireless networks, where channels (i.e. colors) assigned to interfering stations (i.e. vertices) at distance $i$ must be at least $delta_i$ apart, while the same channel can be reused in vertices whose distance is at least $sigma$. In particular, two versions of the coloring problem -- $L(2,1,1)$, and $L(delta_1, 1, ldots,1)$ -- are considered. Since these versions of the problem are $NP$-hard for general graphs, efficient algorithms for finding optimal colorings are provided for specific graphs modeling realistic wireless networks including rings, bidimensional grids, and cellular grids.
