What Others are Saying About
Helping Paws
"I recently retired from a successful teaching career and I've been presented with several ministry opportunities that were not possible when I worked full time as an elementary classroom teacher. One of those opportunities is that of having a furry friend, Jazz, who has turned out to be a very playful pet therapy dog at our local alzheimer's facility. He visits weekly and loves visiting the patients.
Jazz's journey began first with dog obedience with Buddy Cummings and then I was referred to Amy Hicks for the possibility of doing pet therapy with him. I was curious if Jazz would even be a good candidate as he is not a lap dog, he is very playful. Amy and a fellow associate of hers took the time to access Jazz and he passed with flying colors! I was instructed as how to phase Jazz into the therapy environment and all that was entailed with basic certification through our veterinarian.
and I enjoy our time at Brookdale. It appears that visiting these
patients is OUR ministry and I'm thankful for Amy's assistance in
helping me with the process!"

Romeo and Happy: The Dogs in Our Classroom
We got Romeo from Mrs. Hicks and Larry and Daryl after a Helping Paws lesson. We had a vote to name him and Romeo was the name that got the most votes.
Some of us thought he was lonely especially at night and needed a friend. Kazzie brought in another dog just like him whose name is Happy.
Now Romeo has a friend and is no longer lonely anymore.
We love to hold and cuddle both of our dogs. They
make us feel happy when we feel sad and we need a friend. We can earn
the privilege of holding a dog for a day. We love our classroom dogs.
In Mrs. Bunch's Class at Cleveland Middle School
In April, Mrs. Hicks and Larry came to our classroom for their monthly visit. They brought a special gift to leave with our class. The gift was a stuffed red and white dog. Our class named him "Colorful".
Our class worked as a team to build "Colorful" a doghouse. The house was built of a used box and it was covered with brown squares on the top and many colors of rectangles on the sides. Our class worked in teams to decide what the pattern on each side should look like. We used the vocabulary we had worked on in class to describe our work. We threw around terms like right angle, quadrilateral, parallelogram and more.
Since "Colorful" has been living in our class, we have written many stories about him. The stories have allowed us to practice language skills like reading environmental print, punctuation, and capitalization. We have reviewed and applied what we have learned this year about the elements that all living things need to survive, the kinds of habitats that different animals can live well, in graphing, voting, etc.
Most recently, we took "Colorful" back to visit Mrs. Hicks and Larry. We shared with them that "Colorful" is fed once a day and drinks about two gallons of water but is checked on much more often. We, also, created a special blend of dog food that "Colorful" can pretend to enjoy but that we really love to munch on at snack time. Being dog food creators allowed us to practice turn taking, measuring, cooking vocabulary and the difference between make believe and reality.
Many of the activities that we have done with "Colorful" have been spawned from the character, creativity and caring activities that Mrs. Hicks and Larry have shared with us this year. We are grateful for their visits, for their example and encouragement. We look forward to working with them again in 2009-2010.

Dear Mrs. Hicks,
It was fun when I got to meet one of the dogs, I hope I get to meet them soon again. Thank you for it.

The Camden Chronicle (by Susan Corbin)
On Wednesday, April 23rd, Amy Elmore Hicks, Ed.S., appeared at the Big Sandy School along with her mother, Barbara Elmore, and Larry. "Dogs just have a way with children!" Hicks states in her pamphlet regarding Helping Paws. "Dogs are wonderful listeners and children usually respond very positively to dogs."
Daryl and Larry, two special 4-year-old rescued black lab mixes, are the 'Helping Paws' who assist Amy, educator and counselor, as she travels to schools, churches and after-school programs, bringing powerful lessons to children. The dogs were rescued and adopted through the foster care component of E.S.P. (Exclusively Shelter Pets), Cleveland, TN. They are qualified to run, play and dig, and are happiest when in the middle of a group of children. Daryl and Larry have passed obedience training, the canine good citizen test and are registered therapy dogs. They 'volunteer' regularly with Alzheimer's patients.
Hicks has her Master's Degree in Education and her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. She is a certified school counselor with eleven years experience in public education, and a member of the following organizations: American School Counselor Association, Delta Kappa Gamma (for women educators), and TheraPaws of Atlanta.
The Helping Paws teaches programs on: Character Education, Anger Management, Bullying, Social Skills, Self-Esteem, Drug Awareness, and Life Skills.
Their mission states that their purpose is to enrich the lives of children by providing unconditional love while providing educational and social programming.
Dear Amy, Daryl, and Larry
Thank you for coming to our school. I really liked to see Larry do different things! I wish you could've brought Daryl with you. Anyways thanks again for coming to Holladay School. Hope ya'll had fun.
Your Helping Paws FriendA Student at Holladay Elementary School
I have received ALL good reviews about the program you did. We are
recommending you to Tiger Creek Elementary
I think the children did learn from the program. Larry was WONDERFUL!!
I thought it was great and the kids loved it.
Kids enjoyed the presentation...worth the time
Hi, Amy! I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your
presentation at Yes2Kids, I think you are doing great things, and I'm
looking forward to learning more.
Hi Amy!
Hi Amy,
Thank you for coming. I did not tell them ahead of time this
morning. They would have been so excited, we would not have gotten
anything done. They always love your visits.
Thanks for doing such a great job handling 65 kids with such great ease. Believe it or not, I learned some tips that day from your years of experience!
Elementary School Counselor
Hi Amy,
Hi Amy,
"Amy did an amazing job with the children in my program. With other
lessons the children are rowdy and get bored easily, but they were
locked into what she and her dog had to say, and they were excited about
seeing them again!"

Grantham hair salon celebrates its half century
A Grantham hair salon is celebrating its 50th anniversary this weekend and is still serving customers who were with them when they first opened.
Maria and Co, formerly known as Joye and Aubrey's, opened in Westgate in 1965.
The founders were Joye and Aubrey Smith, who left Griffins Hair Salon to begin their own business.
Daughter Maria Hackney later followed in her parents' footsteps and trained to become a hairdesser.
She took over the running of the business 15 years ago and moved the salon around the corner to Welby Street.
Aubrey passed away four years ago at the age of 78, having helped out at the salon until he was 72.
Joye, who turns 80 in September, still helps out two-and-a-half days a week and Maria admits: "She does it for love, not money, these days and we'd be lost without her.
"My mum is wonder-woman as far as I am concerned. My nan died of cancer when I was very young, so my mum had to work and also raise me and my brother.
"From a young age I picked up an interest in hairdessing and it was a foregone conclusion it was the path I was going to take.
"I love hardressing but I really enjoy meeting the customers. We have a good clientele and we don't really have to advertise much, it's mainly word of mouth.
"We are having a little celebration when some of the old staff and customers will join us."
Joye said: "I hated school with a passion but as soon as I started hairdessing I loved it.
"When we first started, Mr Flower, the barber, was based above us and he was cutting hair until he was 92. At this rate I might be doing the same."
"I enjoy helping out and if I had my time again I would do everything exactly the same."

Yes - "But I can't remember where I saved it on my computer"
Congrats on a fantastic win on DAP.U. I "was" a shareholder and made a nice profit on this one but had no idea it would go this high. Sales growth continues so we may see more.

Longtime posters may recal I recommended this stock at 14 cents over 2 years ago. It just crossed 3.00 today. A real lesson in patience, ignoring volatility and holding some shares even when you already already made a killing and sold most of your position.
I am 55 and I am still learning. Keeping a written journal of these lessons is a helpful idea so you don't make the mistake over and over again. I suggest written because if you are like me, you are not likely to remember where you saved it on your computer.
Doren and gang I seem to recall you had a running list of these kind of points somewhere on the site.

How to find a 24/7 emergency dentist in HoustonOur dental referral specialist can help you locate an emergency dentist near you in less than 3 minutes.
Finding a dentist that works 24/7 is next to impossible in Houston. However, finding one that works at night, on a holiday, or one that works on weekends to take care of your dental emergency is not impossible. 45% of dentists around the US work on Saturdays, while only 4% of them work on Sundays, according to the American Dental Association3. If you happen to experience a dental emergency at those times, instead of searching on Yelp and Google Maps, try calling us. Our service is much different than theirs because we don't only locate a dentist for you, or show you reviews, but we also schedule an appointment with an emergency dentist near you. We can locate an emergency dentist in less than three minutes, making us the fastest service on the market.
If you're unsure of what's considered to be a dental emergency, try asking yourself one of these questions. Are your gums bleeding, or do they have knots or swelling; is your tooth chipped or fractured, is your crown lost or did it get damaged; did a wire of your braces come off and is scratching the insides of your mouth; did your tooth get knocked out; is your toothache so bad you can't sleep or focus on anything else? If your answer to any of these is "yes," it means you can search for an emergency dentist. If your breath smells very bad and you can't seem to do anything about it, or you have facial swelling, it's possible you have an abscess. It's an infection in the root of the tooth, and needs to be looked at immediately by an emergency dentist.
Things to know before your emergency dentist appointmentPreparing for your emergency dental visit will help minimize anxiety and reduce the overall time you will have to spend at the dentist office.
We have some tips for you before you get to your dentist appointment. You should get a good night's sleep before the appointment because people feel better when they're well rested, and have less anxiety. Also, don't drink any sugary or caffeinated beverages before your procedure. Arrive at least 15 minutes early so you can fill out the papers the staff gives you, and to relax before the procedure starts. If you have dental anxiety, don't be afraid to tell the dentist about it. Admitting you are afraid of the dentist will help you overcome your fears, and will let the dentist know to use appropriate techniques to make you feel more relaxed.
If you are suffering from dental anxiety, you should always inform the dentist. During the procedure, he might talk to his assistant about something non-dental related, which will make you distracted and not think about your treatment as much. If you don't want to hear the sound of the drill, bring your headphones and listen to music. Same as when kids bring a toy to the dentist so they can hold on to something, you can bring something, such as a stress relief ball, too. Agree on a signal with the dentist that will show him you're either in pain, or that you need a short break. Finally, breathe normally. Most people try to hold their breath when they're getting treated, but that only deprives your body of oxygen, making you even more anxious.
Bring you dental records to the dentist. These will include your past x-rays, information about your fillings, and crowns, previous diagnoses, procedures and treatment plans. Your dental records can also save you money, because you won't need to have diagnostic procedures, such as taking x-rays. If the records are accurate, your dentist will manage your treatment better. He will be aware of any existing concerns and he will be able to keep track of changes happening with your teeth or gums. Your dental records are owned by your dentist, but you can get a copy of them. Ask your dentist to transfer your dental records if you don't wish to do it yourself. If you're seeing the same dentist as before, you shouldn't worry, because he will have your dental records. When you're going to your dentist appointment, also don't forget to bring your insurance card, so the staff at the dentist office can check information with the insurance company.
Get a walk-in emergency dentist appointment todayCall us to schedule you an appointment with an emergency dentist near you in less than 3 minutes.
According to a research done by McKinsey & Company, 42% of people in Texas haven't been to the dentist in the last 12 month, or longer4. The American Dental Association says that 19% of those people haven't been to the dentist because they have trouble finding one, and 15% find time or location inconvenient5. The longer you wait to get to a dentist, the worse your condition will be. Not only will your dental health suffer, but your expenses will be much higher too. That's why both dentists and insurance companies advise going to the dentist every six months. Most insurance plans offer free checkups and cleanings twice a year because preventive care is the key to keeping your teeth healthy. We all wish brushing and flossing teeth was enough, but unfortunately it isn't. Preventive care is important if you don't want your teeth to suffer, or you don't want to spend a lot of money of expensive procedures such as a root canal treatment. A root canal is often coupled with installing a crown to stabilize the tooth, since a root canal leaves your tooth more susceptible to damage.
This is why our company came up with a service that connects people in need of an emergency dentist to dental offices across America. If you call us, our US based referral agents will schedule an appointment with a dentist near you in Houston. If you call us, we will find a dentist that is in network with your insurance. Regardless if you have insurance or not, we will find a dentist that accepts your form of payment. You can call us any time of the day, because our lines are open 24 hours a day. We have access to dentists' appointment books, so no matter when you call us we can schedule an appointment with an emergency dentist near you.
Walk-in dentists are not as easy to locate as you might think. Many dentist offices advertise as accepting walk-ins, but they expect you to call first before coming. Dentists don't accept walk-ins as much as before because they have busy schedules. If a dentist office wants to run efficiently, they will have to plan their schedule carefully. Sometimes one patient may be waiting for his anesthesia to take effect, while the dentist is performing a checkup on another patient. Once you get to the office, the staff there will have to check with the insurance company what type of insurance you have in order to give you an accurate pricing. While usually a quick process, this may sometimes take up to two days. That's another reason why you will give your insurance plan information when you call to schedule an appointment, and why it may be difficult for the dentist to accept walk-ins. In most cases the dentist will turn you away, asking you to schedule an appointment first. If you're experiencing a dental emergency, and think that going to the dentist near you to try to get a walk-in is the best option, call us instead. Our dental referral specialists will schedule an emergency appointment with a dentist near you on the same day or the time that suits you best.
Top emergency dentist procedures in HoustonLearn about common dental emergencies and treatments.
A chipped tooth is one of the top dental emergency procedures in Houston. It's not an immediate emergency, such as an abscess, but should still get repaired before it leads to even more damage. The tooth can completely fracture, or an infection may develop, requiring you to do more extensive repairs. Other emergency procedures in Houston are a knocked out tooth, and a lost or a broken crown.
Lost or Broken Crown
If you need a new crown made as soon as possible, call us to schedule an appointment with a dentist that makes them. CEREC crowns are built and installed on the same day as your first appointment, as opposed to traditional dental crowns, that will require you to get a temporary one first while your new one is being manufactured. That means you will have to have at least two appointments for a traditional dental crown. CEREC crowns cost the same as traditional dental crowns, but are made using newest technology that prolongs their lifespan and makes them fit your tooth better. Their biggest benefit is that they can be manufactured and installed on the same day.

Removal of Highland Lake dam grates alarms mother
By Gail Geraghty
Staff Writer
They don't often take their kids swimming at Highland Lake Beach in Bridgton. But when Cindy Fontana and her sister Debbie Martin stopped with children in tow for a swim recently, they were in for a surprise. For as long as either could remember, two heavy iron grates covered both sides of the entrance to the spillway at the Highland Lake Dam. The grates, or trash rakes, were designed to keep debris from accumulating and pressing up against the gate, and, they presumed, to keep any curious young children from exploring too close to the gate. But when they looked, the grates were not in the water. They lay instead in overgrown grass beside the dam. The trash rakes had obviously been removed for months or longer, judging by how much grass was growing up around them.
What's up with that, they thought.To both mothers, this situation raised a huge red flag. They realized that swim lines were being used to keep children or anyone else from swimming at the dam — but they also realized that kids will be kids. So they contacted the town.
"I just thought it was an oversight, that they forgot to put the grates back," said Fontana. So it was a shock to learn that they'd been removed by design.
"They've been off for several years now," Town Manager Mitch Berkowitz said two weeks ago. He said he explained to Fontana that the town was having problems keeping tree limbs and other heavy debris from getting stuck in the rates. So the decision was made to remove them.
That didn't set well with either of the women. "I'm not going to let this go," said Martin, who was upset when her sister told her of Berkowitz's explanation as to why the grates had been removed.
A few days before Labor Day Weekend, Martin and Berkowitz visited the dam. And Berkowitz was persuaded to have the rakes reinstalled in place.
"We certainly don't want to see anybody get hurt," Berkowitz said before the grates were put back in place. But he argued that the potential danger to a swimmer exists whether the grates are there or not. He noted that all of Bridgton's public swimming areas are "swim-at-your-own-risk" and the town does not have lifeguards on duty. He also emphasized that the swim lines need to be heeded.
Fontana said perhaps the town should consider only removing the grates for a short period of time. "It only takes a few moments for somebody to lose track of their child. That's all it would take."

Last month I spent a lot of time tracking down references in my dissertation. While I am usually good at keeping track of notes, page numbers, and original sources, when we are talking about multiple drafts of a 250+ page document there are bound to be some errors/typos and missing information which requires consulting the original source. While I imagine in the pre-internet era this was a laborious task, this is now relatively pain free process. So, here are ways to track down sources and quotations other than looking through every page of the original book.
- Devon: My first recourse is always to search my own computer, for quite often I have the original article somewhere. Since I have all the relevant articles stored in Devon Think, I can just search there, but if you are not using one of these "brain in a box" programs, you can always try "spotlight" (on the Mac) or download and use Google Desktop.
- Google: This is perhaps the fastest way, although not the most effective. Wondering were it was that Nietzsche said his works "jar on the ears"? Just do a google search for "jars on the ears" (uses the quotes) and Nietzsche, if you are lucky someone will have already cited it, including the page number. It pays at this point to go back and check the print copy as sometimes people incorrectly cite page numbers. But this trick gives you a good place to start. It works only occasionally, but because it is so fast I usually start here.
Amazon: This is probably the online tool I find most useful. Look up a book on Amazon, and if it has the "search inside this book" function you can actually search for the phrase you are trying to locate. Now, not every book on Amazon allows you to search inside, but for those that do this works. Note that even if you can't see the actual page (Amazon prevents this for copyright reasons at times) you can still see the page number where the quote occurs, which allows you to again consult the print version. For example I had the following in my dissertation: "writing makes possible increasingly articulate introspectivity, opening the psyche as never before" (Ong 140). Well I knew it wasn't on page 140, so I looked it up on Amazon, clicked search inside this book, and typed in "articulate." Amazon returns a list of the pages and surrounding words. Then, it is simply a matter of looking up the page number in the print copy to make sure that is the one I want.
- Google Books: This works like the above Amazon trick, but instead uses Google Books. I find this less effective than Amazon, but it tends to work for older books better than Amazon (I think this is a copyright issue), so it probably depends on your focus. From the Google Books page search for the author, title, or even phrase for which you are looking. (Note: This makes Google Books effective if you do not know the source of your quote.
- Project Gutenberg: Project Gutenberg has over 20,000 books online, free available for download. These are all older books on which the copyright has expired, so the selection is limited in scope. But if you are searching for pre 20th century stuff this is a good bet. Download the book which contains the reference and then just do a simple text search within the document (usually "find" but depends on the program you are using). The problem here is that this often won't give you page numbers, but it will give you chapter, or in the case of much older works like Plato, Aristotle etc., it will give you the line number, making it easy to find the page number in the print text. (Note: translations often vary here as these are the public domain works so sometimes it takes a bit of manipulation to find what you are looking for, and you might not want to rely on Gutenberg as a source, but it is a good place to get you started.)
- The Open Library: Similar to Gutenberg and Google Books, the The Open Library allows you to search for and inside books. Personally I find the selection to be limited, but if you are having trouble this might do the trick.
- Author Specific Sites: Many of the canonical authors have sites dedicated to their works that will allow you to search their complete works for a line of text or a reference. For example: The Complete Works of Shakespeare, The Blake Archive, Emerson Central and others too numerous to list . . .

I get up early and venture out in search of the mask makers of Majuli Island. A local riding his motorbike stops and asks me if I want a lift. I hop on hoping that he would drop me a little further. We did not speak a common language, but after few attempts were able to understand what the other person was saying. He was very excited somehow and said that he would take me to wherever I wanted to go in Majuli. We visit the Natun Samaguri Satra, home to mask makers since the 17th century.
|Masks made in Samaguri Satra
|Mask makers use bamboo and cow dung
The family at Samaguri Satra has been making masks for generations. Wearing masks is an integral part of the communities in Majuli Island especially during the festival of Raas Leela in the months of October-November. The locals celebrate fresh harvest and depict stories from the life of Lord Krishna through stage drama.
While coming back, I see a boatman maneuvering through the farms. I am amazed by the way they live in close harmony with nature and use boats to navigate through their plantations that have developed natural canals after annual floods emanating from Brahmaputra for years.
|Boatmen maneuvering through farms
I came in a rush and stayed only for two days, but I developed a bond that calls me back to this land where people sing every evening in monasteries, make masks, boats and still follow ancient practices of living. I missed the 'Raas Leela'. I will come back soon in search of new stories from this Island and this time I will not 'Stay' here, rather I will 'Live' here.

1. What does the World Mosquito Program do?
The World Mosquito Program (WMP) is a not-for-profit initiative that works to protect the global community from mosquito-borne diseases. The WMP uses safe and natural bacteria called Wolbachia to reduce the ability of mosquitoes to transmit viruses such as Zika, dengue and chikungunya.
The WMP is committed to strengthening the capacity of local communities around the world to reduce the threat of mosquito-borne diseases. We are expanding our method for low-cost, large-scale application across urban areas in countries affected by mosquito-borne diseases. We are collaborating with local communities, governments and health agencies to implement our self-sustaining Wolbachia method.
Learn more about our work here.
2. How does the World Mosquito Program's Wolbachia method work?
The WMP's method works by introducing Wolbachia into Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the primary vector of the Zika, dengue and chikungunya viruses. We release Wolbachia carrying mosquitoes in areas where these mosquito-borne viruses are endemic. Once our Wolbachia mosquitoes are released, they breed with wild mosquitoes. Over time, the percentage of mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia grows until it remains high without the need for further releases.
Learn more about our Wolbachia method here.
3. Where is the World Mosquito Program working?
The World Mosquito Program is currently operating in 12 countries around the world – including Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Vietnam, Kiribati, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Mexico.
The WMP is expanding its method for low-cost, large-scale application across urban areas in countries affected by mosquito-borne diseases. We are collaborating with local communities, governments and health agencies to implement our self-sustaining, long-term solution.
Learn more about our projects here.
4. Does the World Mosquito Program's approach involve genetic modification?
Our method is not genetic modification (GM) as the genetic material of the mosquito has not been altered. Neither the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes nor the Wolbachia have been genetically modified in the lab and the strain of Wolbachia we are using is naturally occurring bacteria.
5. Which diseases does the World Mosquito Program's Wolbachia method have an effect on?
The World Mosquito Program's Wolbachia method has been shown to reduce transmission of several viruses transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, including dengue, Zika and chikungunya.
For further information, read our latest research studies here.
6. Which diseases does the World Mosquito Program's Wolbachia method work to eradicate?
Zika, dengue and chikungunya are human viruses which are transmitted primarily by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which is commonly found around homes and workplaces. The transmission cycle for these viruses is human - mosquito - human. When mosquitoes carry Wolbachia, they have a reduced ability to transmit these viruses.
On February 1 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Zika virus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Zika has continued to spread geographically where Aedes mosquitoes are present, with 84 countries reporting infections. Since 2015, more than ½ million suspected cases of Zika have been reported, with 3,521 recorded cases of congenital brain abnormalities associated with Zika. There is no vaccine or treatment for Zika virus, other than rest and treating fever with common medicines.
Read more about Zika here.
Dengue fever is ranked by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the most critical mosquito-borne viral disease in the world - and the most rapidly spreading - with a 30-fold increase in global incidence over the past 50 years. More than 40 percent of the world's population, in more than 100 countries are at risk of dengue infection. The most significant dengue epidemics in recent years have occurred in Southeast Asia, the Americas and the Western Pacific. Each year, an estimated 390 million dengue infections occur around the world. Of these, 500,000 cases develop into dengue haemorrhagic fever, a more severe form of the disease, which results in up to 25,000 deaths annually worldwide.
Read more about dengue here.
1c. Chikungunya
First identified in an outbreak in Tanzania in 1952, chikungunya is a mosquito-borne disease transmitted between humans by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Chikungunya's name is derived from a word in the Kimakonde language, meaning 'to become contorted', as the virus causes debilitating joint pain that induces a stooped appearance. Chikungunya is most prevalent in Asia, Africa and India. However, in 2015, there was a large outbreak across the Americas, with over 1,379,788 suspected cases of chikungunya recorded in the Caribbean Islands, Latin America, and the United States of America. More than 190 deaths were also attributed to this disease during the same period.
Read more about chikungunya here.
7. How does the World Mosquito Program's approach compare to other solutions in development?
There are several different approaches to reducing dengue that are at various stages of development around the world. One of these is a dengue vaccine, which is being explored by a number of research groups and organisations. Other methods that are under development include new insecticides and new methods of applying existing insecticides. Other groups are also exploring ways to genetically modify mosquitoes to control their breeding and reduce the mosquito population through suppression approaches.
Our approach is self-sustaining and predicted to have lasting, major reductions in arboviral disease incidence. In contrast, the suppression approach requires significant infrastructure to rear large numbers of male mosquitoes and human resources to distribute them in the community - this must be done continuously, otherwise the wild mosquito population rebounds. There is no evidence yet that suppression approaches can reduce mosquito populations at a large scale (ie. the level of a city), or that this approach can reduce disease incidence. The World Mosquito Program's approach however, can be scaled to the level of large towns and cities.
The WMP's approach is a natural method to reduce the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases, which we hope will reduce our reliance on insecticides. Our method does not involve genetic modification (GM), as the genetic material of the mosquito has not been altered. Our approach is particularly effective at controlling mosquito-borne diseases in large urban areas where conventional approaches – such as spraying insecticides – are often ineffective and expensive.
The unique advantage of the WMP's Wolbachia method is that in addition to helping to protect communities from mosquito-borne diseases like Zika, dengue and chikungunya, we are not posing a risk to natural ecosystems. Long-term monitoring shows that the WMP's natural Wolbachia method is self-sustaining in almost all international project sites up to eight years after our teams carry out releases.
8. You say that the World Mosquito Program's Wolbachia method will be more economical and sustainable than other methods. Why is that?
The World Mosquito Program is implementing a self-sustaining, cost-effective form of vector control, without needing to continually suppress the mosquito population. In contrast to insecticide based programs, or the use of Wolbachia for population suppression, our method has the potential to offer sustained protection from disease regardless of the number of mosquitoes present in the environment.
The WMP is not trying to reduce the overall number of mosquitoes, instead we aim to boost the number of Wolbachia carrying mosquitoes to reduce their ability to transmit diseases. We release a small number of male and female mosquitoes with Wolbachia over a number of weeks and these mosquitoes then mate with the wild mosquito population. The bacteria are passed from generation to generation, and over time, the percentage of mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia grows until it remains high without need for further releases. Mosquitoes with Wolbachia are less able to transmit viruses to people, so the risk of outbreaks in those areas is reduced.
The WMP's research has shown that Wolbachia can sustain itself in mosquito populations without continual reapplication, making this a long-term, cost-effective and self-sustaining approach. We are currently adapting our approach for use in large, urban environments and targeting a cost of US$1 per person.
9. Will the World Mosquito Program's Wolbachia method be effective in the long-term?
It is very difficult to predict how long the Wolbachia method of control will be effective. We could imagine that over time the method might become less effective but we have no way to predict how quickly that might happen. Even if the method lasted for a number of decades then that would equate to a large benefit in the global fight to control mosquito-borne diseases.
The possibility of effective, but transient control should not be seen as a negative attribute of this technology. Many control measures become less effective over time. For example, many insect pests have shown increasing resistance to chemical insecticides. Yet, these tools have been incredibly valuable in saving human lives from major diseases such as dengue and malaria.

The SPECIFICS
Hip hop in Montreal can get a little tricky at times. Blessed with an abundance of capable MC's,a trailer-load of DJs, and a slew of hungry producers, talented individuals in the city constantly battle not with each other, but with the teetering possibility of an organized and unified hip hop scene. Clans, posses, crews and cliques come and go, but SPECIFICS are looking far beyond the confines of a local existence. Made up of producer/engineer Think Twice, and MC Golden Boy, the group got its start in the dorms of Montreal's Concordia University back in 2000, where the two west coast transplants experimented with bedroom recordings and homespun LPs under the moniker Green Dragons.
Later they met DJ Goser, who was a welcome addition to the musical equation that had already begun to take shape. Backed by the soulful an expressive productions of Think Twice, Golden Boy shines on the mic, poetically weaving in and out of the subtle complexities of everyday life with style. DJ Goser is finesse on the cut, accenting a solid array of melodic beats and lyrical rushes, completing this trio of dedicated heads.
A flow that can only be described as relentlessly fluid. His rhymin technique compliments Think Twices' slack jazzy production. His recent release is his 1st & hopefully not his last LP, namely "With a Loop & Swing" a nice solid effort sitting adjacent to 2 very succesful LP's his lacksidazical flow blends perfectly bringin the J.U.S. Sound home.
His Poetry is almost like no other, Listenin to his rhyme connections over "You", "Under the Hood" & "Craigs House" to name but a few symbolise everything said in this post, the tracks featured in the download are taken from "Lonely City", "II" & Think Twices LP "Witth a Loop & Some Swing"
The Beats are stone Jazz-N-Soul through & through, many producers will take a straight sample and lace it with a kick, snare & hat in your standard 4/4 time stamp, Think Twice builds some of his tracks with some more than welcomed unorthodox drums, with the occassional quantized percussive hit blended into the stew.
Some of the Beats are seriously smooth, track 5 on "II" called "Look Alive" & 7 "Lampin (Lava)" is a perfect example. In fact "II" is slightly smoother in contrast to its jazzy pre-decessor "Lonely City" released in 04'. The Jazz vibe of "Under the Hood" accompanied with Think Twices' Flawless Poetic Rhymes is one for the walkman for sure.
Fortunately I can't state any particular as a favourite which means a good album, the collat contains tracks fom 3 albums and still I can't specify any as a header for the canadian duo.
NOTE: The tracks conatained in the collat are neither the best or worst & are merely examples of production an rhymin at its finest. if your familiar with my posts & like what you hear then buy these albums immediatly after listenin......More than Worth it (Pure Inspiration).

is somewhat like windsurfing, but instead of
using a windsurf sail, the daring enthusiasts
who have embraced this fast-growing sport hook
themselves up to large kites which pull them
across the water at speeds often in excess of
40 kilometers per hour.
to some, two French brothers invented the sport
in the mid-1980s. Around the same time, an American
began waterskiing with a kite, rather than a
powerboat, pulling him across the water.
a board around 1.5 meters in length, the surfer
is harnessed to the kite by a line (typically
30 meters long) which he controls with a bar.
Some kitesurfers can jump more than 20 meters
above the surface of the water. However, the
sport can be dangerous. Not long ago, a man in
New Zealand was hospitalized after he lost control
of his kite, was pulled high into the air, then
crashed into his own house, 150 meters from the

In 2002, a Welsh woman kitesurfed across the
Irish Sea--a distance of more than 100 kilometers--in
six hours.
is not a cheap hobby. Joe Ruger, an American
kiteboard enthusiast who lives in Tainan City,
points out that a top-of-the-line kite, plus
a quality board, a wet suit and a steering bar,
can come to more than NT$50,000. Secondhand equipment
is typically half the price, but because of advances
in kiteboarding technology, items two years old
are "almost obsolete."

Those who really get into the sport often buy
two or more additional kites--smaller ones for
use when the wind is strong, larger ones for
weak breezes.
is an ideal place to enjoy this sport. "All
of the West Coast, from Tainan to the Taipei
area, is suitable," says Alex Mowday, owner
of Liquid Sports (www.windsurf-penghu.com), a
Penghu-based supplier of kiteboarding equipment
and lessons. "The best winds are in Miaoli
and Hsinchu, in May, June and July."

out for illegal spikes which have been installed
to hold fishing nets."

or snowboarding experience is useful, but apart
from being able to swim, there are no essential
skills for beginners. According to Mowday, who
likens kiteboarding to "waterskiing without
a powerboat," a proper training course will
give those who have never windsurfed or even
flown a kite the knowledge they need to kiteboard. "Eighty
percent of the skill is flying the kite," he
instructional videos in English can be found
at www.realkiteboarding.com. According to safety
guidelines drawn up by the California Kiteboarding
Association (www.calkite.org), beginners should
have professional instruction from certified
instructors, or, at least direct supervision
from an experienced boarder. They should always
use a kite leash--runaway kites can be deadly--and
should yield to any pedestrian or swimmer. Grounded
kites must be secured (i.e. weighed down with
sand), and kiteboarders should not clutter the
beach with their gear.
variant of this sport, snow kiteboarding, is
catching on in North America, but for obvious
reasons it's unlikely to make an impact in Taiwan.

Next-generation sequencing approaches, in particular RNA-seq, provide a genome-wide expression profiling allowing the identification of novel and rare transcripts such as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA). Many RNA-seq studies have now been performed aimed at the characterization of lncRNAs and their possible involvement in cell development and differentiation in different organisms, cell types, and tissues.
Researchers from the National Institute of Molecular Genetics, Milan present a step-by-step pipeline for the identification and characterization of lncRNA based on RNA-seq Poly-A+ fractions data using paired-end Illumina reads. This pipeline includes all the software, command lines and suggestions for a complete NGS analysis of lncRNAs, starting from quality control and reads mapping to differential expression analysis or identification of lncRNA signature. It was originally developed for the identification of lncRNAs expressed in human lymphocytes populations and can be applied to any available RNA-seq dataset.
Data investigation: principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering
(a) Principal component analysis (PCA) performed using DESeq2 rlog-normalized RNA-seq data on different CD4+ T cell subsets. (b) Hierarchical clustering analyses performed on the same normalized RNA-seq data. The distance metric values used for clustering are represented by a color code from white (low correlation) to dark blue (maximum correlation)

Alumni Connections
Jonathan LoTempio 2014
Major: Biology specializing in Biochemistry
Company: National Genome Research Institute at NIH
Title: Scientific Program Analyst
Why did you choose this industry/profession?
In keeping with what I imagine most of these biographies will say, my life's path looks linear, but my decisions have been circuitous. I decided to study biochemistry at Rochester, in part, because of Professor Terry Platt and his guiding hand in and out of the classroom. Professor Bob Bambara and one of his research assistant professors, Lata Balakrishnan, hired me in their lab at the start of my Junior year and I stayed through my thesis defense at the end of college, with a brief stint at the lab of a collaborator in Buffalo during the summer between 2013 and 2014.
How did Rochester prepare you for this?
After commencement, I torpedoed a plan to work in a lab as a research assistant and spent the summer sailing, travelling, shadowing professionals in industries outside of my sphere of experience, and interviewing for jobs - in that order, to my parents' chagrin. I did this in part because of my experience as a president of Alpha Delta Phi and as a senator and class councilperson. Biomedical science was an intellectual passion of mine, but I wanted to take some time to explore some other skills that didn't get as much attention in the lab at the tech level. I was fortunate to interview in a number of sectors and had the good luck to be presented a choice by the end of summer: consultancy or government?
I chose government and the National Institutes of Health's National Human Genome Research Institute because it seemed to be the place where one could work in the envelope of science while learning much about management and policy. This decision worked quite well and I had the chance to contribute to the management of large programs including the Human Genome Project and the Human Microbiome Project, as well as the Obama White House's National Microbiome Initiative.
Three years and many lessons later, I've decided to pursue a PhD at the George Washington University in the fall where I plan to pursue genomics, microbiome science, and ancient DNA. While trite, I would advise reading widely and engaging with culture: read good books, enjoy music, and explore your local museums. Learning the history of the field you plan to join also helps you engage with the people who will hire you, as they've lived a large piece of it.
Do you have any advice or insights for students?
If you can, roll the dice on your first job after college. Professor Bambara and I had a lovely afternoon chat over pizza last Christmas and he said something to effect of:
"You can make safe choices in your career and you will see a measure of success, but you can never protect yourself from the unfortunate experiences of life. Take risks and make the good end as sharp as the bad."
I will confess that I was terrified bailing on a secure job after college. But it worked out very well, due largely to luck and partly preparedness, and it certainly changed the course of my life thus far.

Pranab wants Bengal Govt to reply to Chidambaram's letter
Union finance minister Pranab Mukherjee today said that the West Bengal Govt should reply to union home minister P Chidambaram's letter asking them to disarm CPI-M cadres in Jangalmahal, thus virtually rejecting the state's claim that the letter was not with them.india Updated: Dec 26, 2010 17:12 IST
Union finance minister Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday said that the West Bengal government should reply to union home minister P Chidambaram's letter asking them to disarm CPI-M cadres in Jangalmahal, thus virtually rejecting the state's claim that the letter was not with them.
"The home minister has written to the state government. He has fulfilled his responsibility. Now the state government should fulfill its responsibility and reply by acknowledging receipt of the letter. It is hoped that the government would fulfill its responsibility," he told reporters in Burnpur after attending a function.
Mukherjee's comment on the letter questioning role of central forces in Jangalmahal came a day after chief secretary Samar Ghosh said that the secretariat had not received the letter.
"I have not seen any such letter as yet," Ghosh told reporters on Saturday. Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee had also expressed ignorance of the letter even after its contents were disclosed by the union home ministry on December 24.
Chidambaram's strongly worded letter to Bhattacharjee comes in the wake of ally Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee alleging misuse of central security forces in the state and offering to quit if her charge was proved wrong.
"If these armed cadres continue to take upon themselves the duties of maintaining law and order, I wonder what the role of security forces is, specially central para military forces which have been deployed at the request of the state government?" Chidambaram had said in the letter.
His letter came a day after a Trinamool Congress delegation had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and conveyed to him alleged misuse of central security forces in West Bengal.

Block Three.......
I started by piecing together the base blocks. In the magazine, Leanne explains exactly how to piece up the block into mini blocks and then put them altogether to make the larger block.
The trickiest part is piecing together the little squares that make up the little quilt block in the bottom right corner. I always press all my seams open when I am making a block like this with small pieces of fabric.
Here's a look at the back.... it gives me a lot of satisfaction to see all those seams lying nice and flat!!
Next, I worked on the dresden plate which was hand pieced using the English paper piecing method. Now, it is pinned in place and ready to be appliqued to the background.
Then, I used a fusible web applique method to applique the vase and all the flowers in position.
They just need to have their edges finished off with a machine zig zag stitch. This little piece of applique needed to be finished before I pieced the blocks together.
Finally, I used a light box to transfer all the embroidery lines to the block. I am happy with it so far, just need to get stitching now!
Thank you for visiting and have a lovely weekend!

Beautiful :) I love the pinks and blues in your Dresden Plate. Looks like you are putting some happy in your days by getting some sewing done. I'm experiencing a bit of March madness here. Lots of activities but not a lot of sewing. Hope to catch up a bit with some sewing in the next few days before we say goodbye to March. Wow that month flew by !!! I pulled a few fabrics to maybe work on one of the patterns from the Tilda website. The Log cabin pattern. I should have been working on the things on my list but I guess the thought of little bunnies hopping around sent me off on a bunny trail. My daughter says I'm a little ADD when it comes to my sewing. : ) Goodness gracious she is funny. It was all because I decided to clean out a box. I call it just a bit of spring fever!

Hi Everyone,
I chose a clean card design to highlight the funny new Women are Angels greeting stamp available in the new releases section at DRS Designs store.

Ok, head on over to the DRS Designs store to check out what else is new!
