Sleep Disorders: Sleep and Menopause
Menopause is a stage in a woman's life when she stops having her monthly menstrual cycle (her period). It is a normal part of aging and marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. Menopause typically occurs in a woman's late 40's to early 50's.
When a woman goes through menopause, her body stops producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. The loss of these hormones brings about various symptoms, including hot flashes (a sudden feeling of warmth that spreads over the body) and sweating (which is related to hot flashes).
Approximately 75% of menopausal women experience hot flashes, which can last for five years. Hot flashes and sweating can make it difficult to sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, approximately 40% of menopausal women have sleep problems caused by hot flashes. Sleeping difficulties can lead to other problems, such as daytime drowsiness.
How Can I Treat Sleep Problems Related to Menopause?
The traditional treatment for the symptoms related to menopause has been hormone therapy (HT). HT consists of estrogen given as a pill, patch, or vaginal cream, either alone or combined with progestin (a synthetic form of progesterone, or micronized progesterone). However, results from a large study, the Womens Health Initiative, showed that estrogen-progestin combination therapy caused an increased risk of breast cancer. Estrogen alone did not increase breast cancer, but the study also found that therapy with estrogen alone increases the risk of stroke in older women.
The latest recommendation for use of HT for menopause symptoms such as hot flashes is to use the lowest possible dose, with regular follow-up with your doctor.
If you decide not to use HT, the following tips might keep you cooler at night and help you sleep better.
Other practices that may improve sleep include:
What Alternative Treatments Are Available to Treat Hot Flashes?
Alternative treatments for treating hot flashes have included soy products such as tofu and soybeans. Soy products contain a plant hormone called phytoestrogen that acts as a weak estrogen. Studies in general do not show significant hot flash reduction with soy products; however, soy foods may lower cholesterol. High doses of soy supplements have been reported to stimulate problems with uterine lining.
Black cohosh, a perennial plant that is a member of the buttercup family, has also been used to treat hot flashes. In several studies, menopausal women who took black cohosh experienced relief from hot flashes and sweating, although most of these studies have been short-term, and used varying amounts of black cohosh from different sources. More studies are underway to determine if black cohosh reduces the frequency of hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms.
Keep in mind that alternative treatment products are not regulated or controlled by the Food and Drug Administration, and the long-term benefits and risks of these therapies are unknown. Talk to your doctor before you take any of these products.

Practice Spanish Using MaracasJuly 14th, 2014 / Author: Annrose
Las Maracas
Objective: to create rhythms to enhance fluency with Spanish numbers and counting.
Maracas are always a hit with kids, as they love to make noise and it is an active method of developing and practicing Spanish numbers and fluency.
- Shake maracas and count out loud the desired number.
- Create rhythms and count aloud.
Ex. Uno, dos, uno, dos, uno, dos
- Go around the circle and each child has a turn to count and shake maracas.
- Count backwards 10- 1, or 20-1
- Give directions and numbers: Cinco arriba, 10 detrás, etc.
- Depending on age and ability level of children, count by 2's, 5's, 10's, etc.
- Create rhythms by shaking maracas and couting aloud. Have children imitate your rhythms. Then allow kids to lead the activity and count aloud in Spanish.
- Ex: uno, dos, uno, dos, tres, uno, dos….
Maracas are inexpensive items that can be found at www.orientaltrading.com, www.thedollartree.com, and www.partycity.com. Or you can simply make your own from plastic eggs, toilet paper rolls, etc. It is fun to be creative and find small objects to fill with beans or beads for your homemade maracas.

ABT Sportsline always makes some noise at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and this year, you better get ready because the German aftermarket company is prepared to drop the boom.
With a number of programs headed to the biggest auto show of the year, ABT Sportsline is determined to show the gathered masses that it's one of the best Audi tuners in the world. And what better way to prove that point by bringing a new program for the German brand's resident supercar: the [http://www.topspeed.com/cars/audi/2013-audi-r8-v10-ar132905.html ].
The GTR program for the R8 GT was actually developed sometime back, but the one that's going to Geneva is a revised version that features new and exciting modifications.
With every intention of shaving off some weight to make the R8 lighter and faster, ABT Sportsline fitted the German supercar with a new carbon-fiber aero kit that includes a new hood, front and rear aprons, new side skirts and a rear wing. With all these new components in tow, ABT was able to shave 242 pounds off of the R8, no small feat for a car that now weighs just 3,340 pounds. Rounding out the exterior mods include a set of 19-inch forged alloy wheels a new stainless-steel exhaust system, and a coil-over sports suspension with adjustable dampers.
For the engine - the unquestioned highlight of the GTR program - ABT Sportsline did its usual array of magic tricks on the R8's 5.2-liter FSI engine, increasing the output from 550 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque all the way up to an impressive 620 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque.
With these modifications, the German supercar is now capable of hitting 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds - three-tenths of a second faster than the production model. It is capable of hitting a top speed of 202 mph, a significant job from the standard R8's 193 mph top speed.

text: My name is Andrea, and I am a second year Ph.D student in Georgia Tech's school of physics. My area is pretty interdisciplinary involving a mixture of complex dynamics, computation and biophysics (with a focus on cardiac dynamics). I really enjoy this since I have a lot of different interests and I get to do a mixture of experiment, computation, and a little bit of theory. My lab is also involved in education and outreach, which I love since have enjoyed being a teaching assistant for both physics and calculus, as well as a tutor for a variety of areas for people of all ages. My ultimate goal is to pursue a career in academia by becoming a physics professor in nonlinear dynamics who is also active in teaching physics to the non-physicist. Many times I see people shy away from physics feeling like it is too difficult, but I believe that if it conveyed the right way, the basic concepts can be very understandable to anyone interested in it.For me, being in graduate school itself is an accomplishment. Over the years, I have had a few setbacks especially involving my depression and anxiety, both of which I am actively working through. A lot of times, both of these can make people feel like they are not good enough to be doing what they want to do which sometimes drive them away from taking chances and opportunities. Personally, I was originally really afraid to go to grad school in physics because I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it. I ended up not applying for physics grad schools right out of undergrad because I believed I wouldn't get into grad school for physics and it would look bad to my friends who were also in physics. Instead, I decided to apply to math graduate programs with the logic that if I failed with that, at least it wasn't something that I actively worked hard for so it wouldn't look as bad (I know it sounds really strange, but it made sense to me at the time). After a year in a grad program that I was miserable in, I decided to try physics once more and luckily it has worked out for me ever since. To this day, I still have doubts and fears that creep up on me, but each day I am getting better at dealing with them, even if sometimes it is in the smallest of ways. Everyone has a bad day, or a bad exam, or a bad class, or a bad semester even, but that does not make them worth any less and they should try not to let these moments define them, which is unfortunately often easier said than done. I am learning though that these things happen to everyone. In these instances, sometimes it is good to take a step back and relax and do something else before getting back to work, which is something that I, as well as a lot of other students, have difficulties with.My advice for anyone who would like to go into physics is to not be afraid of trying new things. I jumped through a bunch of different areas (graphene, particle physics, pure math, etc) before finding an area that works for me. If you are an undergrad, go to talks and colloquia. Most of the time you won't understand everything, but if you pick up a few things here and there that interest you, you can read more about them and ask questions (something I am *still* working on) and in the next talk you will understand even more. Take chances. Look for research opportunities in your department or summer REUs (Research Experience for Undergrads) so you can find what you like to study. Read articles in Scientific American or Physics Today. Talk to professors and other students. Try to attend conferences. If you're not in college yet, there are still a lot of books you can read that break down some really interesting areas of physics without all of the messy details. Also, it seems like a lot of people in physics really enjoy talking about what they do, so don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions (and tell them to slow down when they are talking way above your head). Most of all, don't be afraid of making mistakes, especially if it is in an area you really want to learn more about.

Hello, remember what ciphers are? Well, there are 2 kinds of ciphers. One of them is the substitution cipher. A substitution literally substitutes one letter/symbol for another letter/symbol. The transition cipher takes the letters in the message and scrambles them. This is still a cipher because it uses letters/symbols and changes them. The first substitution cipher you will learn is the Date Shift Cipher.
Date Shift Cipher Preparation: You and your partner will need to decide on a date. It could be the actual date, or a date in history. Whatever you choose, the date is very important, so do not forget it! You will also need plenty of paper besides the one you are writing the message on. Difficulty to Use: This cipher will require you to write out the alphabet, and will take some time to encipher and decipher. Difficulty to Crack: This is almost impossible to crack unless you know
a lot
about this cipher, or else you know the date. It is
The Cipher: This is a very fun cipher to use.
To Encipher: First choose your date. We will use the random date 01/17/99. Write out your message like this: P l e a s e c o m e a n d h u r r y ! Over top, write the date over and over, without the slashes, like this:
0 1 1 7 9 9 0 1 1 7 9 9 0 1 1 7 99 0
P l e a s e c o m e a n d h u r r y !
Next move each letter the number of places in the alphabet as the number over it. In the example, you would move
zero spaces, but would move the second
nine spaces.
To Decipher: We will use the same example for the deciphering part. When you get the message, write it out with the date over top as you did above. You will decipher the same way that you enciphered, except you will move that number of places
in the alphabet.
Keyboard Cipher Preparation: You and your partner will need a keyboard, or else you will need to be able to picture one in your mind. Difficulty to Use: This is not a very difficult cipher to use. It is easy to encipher and to decipher as long as you are familiar with keyboards. Difficulty to Crack: This is a fairly easy cipher to crack if you take the time to write out a frequency list. The Keyboard Cipher makes up for its lack of security in the fact that it is quick and easy to write.
The Cipher: It is helpful to write out the message in plaintext on a separate piece of paper, but it is not necessary.
To Encipher: Let's use the message "Meeting at 9:00 am Tuesday." The first letter in the message is
To encipher, look at the keyboard and write down the letter
immediately to the left
This letter happens to be
Finish writing the message like this. If you get to the end of the row, then wrap around to the beginning. In this case,
would be
To Decipher: Follow the same procedure as when enciphering, except move the letter to the
Caesar Cipher Preparation: You will need to write the alphabet out. Difficulty to Use: This can take some time until you practice more often and become faster. Other than that, it is not an extremely hard cipher. Difficulty to Crack: The Caesar Cipher is a very famous and well known cipher. Most snoopers will try the Caesar Cipher and its variants right away, but if you vary the cipher slightly it will decrease the chance that your message will be discovered.
The Cipher: This cipher was invented by Augustus Caesar himself, who used it during battles to hid secret information.
To Encipher: Write out the alphabet. When that is done, write out the plain text message. This will be very useful as you encipher. Now, we will use the message "Come quickly." To encipher, take the first letter in the message,
and move it 3 places in the alphabet. This means
. Continue with the rest of the message in the same way. You and your partner can decide on a different number as a variant, but the number 3 is the original.
To Decipher: Use the same procedure as when you encipher, except shift backwards. Remember to wrap around!
Dot Cipher Preparation: You will need graph paper, and a sharp pencil. A ruler is also helpful. Difficulty to Use: This cipher is not hard to use, but it is extremely helpful to have a ruler or other strait edge. Difficulty to Crack: This cipher will look like a series of meaningless dots to any snooper.
The Cipher: This cipher is a very good cipher to use. Any snooper will just look at it, and then probably get rid of it.
To Encipher: On the top of one piece of graph paper, write the alphabet
on the lines.
This is very important. Lay the other piece of graph paper on top of the paper,
and be sure to line it up.
Suppose the message is "Need help. Come quickly." Find
on the top of the one piece of paper. Use the ruler and follow the line on the other paper in the same location. When you come to the first horizontal line intersecting it, mark a dot at the place where they meet. Use the same procedure for the letter
, but mark it one horizontal line below the other dot. Continue in this way, moving down the page.
To Decipher: Follow the same procedure, except go up. It is helpful to write down the message on another piece of paper as you go, and to cross out the dots you have already deciphered to prevent confusion.

Eliminating or Reducing Corporate Taxes Would Up GDP, Wages
DALLAS, Aug. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Eliminating the U.S. corporate income tax would dramatically increase domestic investment, GDP, real wages, and national saving, according to a new report by National Center for Policy Analysis Senior Fellow Laurence J. Kotlikoff.
America's relatively high marginal tax rate discourages both U.S. and foreign corporations from operating or investing domestically. However, eliminating or even reducing the tax rate would benefit workers, corporations, and the national economy, says Kotlikoff, also director of the Tax Analysis Center.
According to Kotlikoff's analysis, eliminating the corporate income tax would result in:
Even reducing the corporate tax would increase wages and GDP while producing just as much revenue. According to Kotlikoff, a "substantial, but still limited, roughly revenue-neutral reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate produces growth effects that are pretty close to those arising under the complete elimination of the U.S. corporate income tax."
In his analysis, Kotlikoff projects that reducing the current 35 percent tax rate to 9 percent and eliminating loopholes would produce:
Under the current tax system, the corporate tax "drives investment out of our country with surprisingly small benefit in terms of government revenues," says Kotlikoff. "Eliminating the U.S. corporate income tax has great potential to make all Americans better off."

Stupid question but wouldnt we know if the world will end on dec 21 2012
Posted 16 December 2012 - 09:31 AM
its like noon est time in new york it will be way pass midnight on DEC 21
or is the countdown time est time
HEY ITS 430 in the morning and am BORED
and how they figure we would have leap year
Posted 16 December 2012 - 09:38 AM
If the Mayan Apocalypse thread wasn't a question posed by slidecage, I'd be concerned that things were coming to an end.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 10:29 AM
Time zones are used to differentiate separate parts of the earth that face the sun at different points in time. but its still the same time for the universe, our at least our galaxy, maybe even just our solar system.
So even though in Japan it would be the 21st, and the 20th here, we'd all die at the same singular point in time.
But then of course, our entire understanding of time probably isn't even accurate,
and while the universe may have temporal properties as we've come to understand
our processes of recording temporal change, such as aging and astronomical positions,
probably aren't close to what happens to matter on a chronological scale throughout the universe.
I believe the whole reason we're in this mess
is one civilizations inability to accurately keep time.
so I wouldn't worry about it too much

Or the fact that they kept time too accurately.
As I understand it , they were dead on the money and its the most advanced calendar keeping from an ancient civilization.
The problem is that the clock rolls over and all the numbers are reset to zero. (Like resetting your miles traveled kilometer gauge)
Just because you hit that button when you're cleaning the dash doesn't mean your car doesn't have 65,000 miles on it.
Its also very telling that they never even had an end of the world apocalypse scenario prophecy. They had a calender , and we interpreted it as such.

Actually, it's because they figured they could stop at 2012, since it'd be quite a while since they actually got there. It's the same reason why Windows doesn't let you input dates past 2099. There's no way Windows 7 will still be around in 2099, so why plan for it? The Mayans knew that 2012 was a LONG way away, and chances are they'd never make it to then anyway. Why bother extending the calendar further than that?
And then of course, a bunch of dumb asses decided to get together and decide that it meant something special, dooming the rest of us half-way intelligent people to listen to their stupid bullshit.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 08:30 PM
Awesome : Thats exactly how it was explained to me (and the shitty half ass explanation I tried to give)
I never knew that the Mayans experienced a rollover date during their existence. That one fact should put the whole thing to bed.
They got to get it right eventually. But if a wayward comet or planet materializes out of nowhere to doom us all next Friday, I'll be right here shitting my pants with the rest of y'all.
Ha. See I always felt like if everyone else dies then I'm okay with it. If it was just ME dying for a stupid reason Id have a problem with it. But if we're all gonna be killed by the comet and theres no chance for everyone , its okay. Equality

At exactly midnight in whatever time zone you live in will explode. The other timezones will follow at their midnights. So there will be at least 24 different massive explosions over the course of the final day.

Standardization: Not As Easy As It Sounds
Voices, May 11, 2010
Standardization is typically considered a good thing in the financial services community. It stands for uniform policies and procedures – and avoids the potential for misunderstanding.
But when it comes to the reporting requirements of hedge funds, standardization could easily become costly, cumbersome and ill-advised, say data management experts.
Effective September, hedge fund regulators could start requiring hedge funds to provide more uniform data across jurisdictions to spot broader risks more quickly. The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), which includes the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Services Authority has published a template for regulatory supervisors listing 11 types of data hedge funds will be required to provide. It provides a high-level snapshot of their gross exposures to stocks and bonds as well as data on investor flows in and out of their funds and details of their service providers. And it's a lot less onerous than requiring hedge funds to disclose individual stock positions.
The reporting is meant to shine light on hedge fund activities and the potential risks they pose to the global market's financial stability. That is even though the FSA has said they don't present a systemic risk after a survey they conducted last October based on the same data outlined in IOSCO's template.
Many hedge funds already give their regulators with data on their operations but IOSCO wants this one in a consistent and global basis to make comparisons and information exchange between regulators easier. A regulator can certainly ask for more than the 11 types of data and it remains to be seen just what the SEC will ask for in its financial reform bill. It's also unclear whether the template will apply to all hedge fund managers and just how much data hedge funds will actually offer up. IOSCO doesn't even have any enforcement power. Still hedge funds should be prepared to provide regulators with at least the following 11 items.
General Manager and Advisor Information: Key principals, registered address, name of employees, number of funds, name of compliance officer, overseas offices, regulatory status, related affiliates, equity owners and any guarantees or agreements with parent companies. Also key service providers such as custodian banks, auditors, fund administrator, names of funds managed and investment strategies and location of overseas offices;
Performance and investor information: Recent performance details (net and gross); recent investor redemptions and subscriptions; net asset value; investor classifications; primary marketing channels;
Assets under Management: Total assets under management and hedge fund assets under management;
Gross and Net Product Exposure and Asset Class Concentration: value of long and short positions in different financial products and for derivatives long and short credit default swap positions and gross value of foreign exchange, interest rate and other derivatives;
Gross and net geographic exposure: the high-level regional investment focus and split of aggregate assets by the underlying currency of the assets held (This is not the same as the currency exposure which could be obscured by foreign exchange hedging).
Trading and turnover issues: Turnover in various asset classes; clearing mechanisms for balance sheet instruments such as OTC versus exchange-traded and derivative clearing mechanisms such as whether a trade is cleared bilaterally or through a central clearinghouse;
Asset/liability issues: liquidity of assets; investor liquidity demands; extent of term financing; use of side pockets and ability to gate or suspend funds and any restrictions in place;
Borrowing: value of borrowings by source such as repurchase agreements, stock lending, off-balance sheet and unsecured and borrowing from regulated and unregulated entities;
Risk Issues: description of mechanisms to assess tail risk such as stress tests and various risk measures used by hedge fund managers to measure a portfolio's sensitivity to movements in interest rate, credit spreads and equity markets;
Credit Counterparty Exposure: Net credit counterparty risk including identifying counterparties and their locations; and the extent of rehypothecation of client assets;
Other issues: Number of open positions and concentration such as the top ten positions as a percentage of gross market value
The Managed Funds Association (MFA) and the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) have each praised IOSCO's template. Of course, they didn't have much choice. The trade groups representing the world's largest hedge funds have accepted that regulation is imminent and its best that their members know what it expected of them. But what about the hedge funds which actually have to comply with the template?
Two operations executives at New York-based hedge funds say that while the information required isn't exactly mindboggling, hedge funds will still have to gather up all the information on a single report to send to regulators. "It's going to be an exercise in data cleansing, normalization and aggregation," said one operations executive. "And then we will have to think about data storage and capacity issues."
Bottom line: "Hedge funds will have to invest in reference data management software to reconcile discrepancies in market data, reference data and counterparty data," says Sol Zlotchenko, chief technology officer for Paladyne Systems in New York "Then they will have to invest in robust data warehouses to consolidate the data from the reference data, portfolio management, accounting and performance analytics systems."
Once the workflow is established and data consistency can be ensured, a firm can use a reporting application to design and distribute the required reports. Paladyne Analytics Master, for one, combines data workflow, warehousing and reporting into a single application, says Zlotchenko. Among the information that can be incorporated from other Paladyne modules-- reference, corporate action, market data, position, performance, attribution and exposure.
Hedge funds should have been investing in this kind of software all along. But some – particularly small to mid sized hedge funds with under $1 billion in assets -- might not have.
But what exactly will the regulators learn with the information provided – and only twice a year in some "machine readable" format. Not much, bemoans Mark Bramley, chief executive officer for StatPro North America, an investment analytics software firm in Boston. The markets can quickly experience a downturn – it just takes one fat finger – and there is little clarification on some of the metrics required."
Case in point: there is no guideline on how hedge funds should measure performance. Should they follow the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) which has been around for about twenty years or so and has become the defacto bible of the traditional asset management community?
Bramley thinks so. "Lots of work has already been put into GIPS regarding the correct calculation of performance on leveraged positions and complex investment structures," he says. But too few hedge funds follow GIPS; it involves generating, storing and reporting standardized calculations and disclosures and most hedge funds have a small back office which doesn't see the value of performing this type of analysis and reporting. Bramley says his firm offers software which can generate performance reports compliant with GIPS standards.
What about how hedge funds should measure risk? There are about three ways to calculate value at risk alone and several variations of each of those. Value at risk represents the potential loss of a portfolio given a certain level of confidence over a certain period of time. For example, a portfolio may have a VaR for one day of $100,000 with 99 percent confidence. That's like saying that one day in 100 you will lose more money than this but you don't know how much more.
Lets take the Monte Carlo simulation approach to value at risk which involves using some pretty complex mathematics to understand what will happen to a security's return if say interest rates rose 1 percent. Such a model will run thousands of simulations, based on different possible events and will try to estimate the risk that will be generated. The scenarios tested will be completely different from model to model and user to user, says Bramley, so comparing the results for different hedge funds will be misleading. That is unless all the tests were completely standardized.
And how about the historic simulation approach to value at risk? As its name suggests, it relies on past returns to simulate today's possible returns. Of course, that still means using some sophisticated math. And the amount of history used will change the results. So even if two hedge fund managers used historic simulation but one used two years of data and another used five years, each would produce a different answer.
That means that for all the good intentions of the regulators it doesn't sound like they will be learning much about just how risky hedge funds really are.
But regulators will have accomplished at least one thing. Hedge funds will be prepared to answer operational and risk management questions posed by their investors. And that's a good thing. "It will likely help managers win institutional business and in turn the benefit will outweigh any additional costs," says Bramley.
What are the costs? The long answer: it all depends on how many funds, positions, trades and clients a hedge fund has. And the sophistication of its existing IT infrastructure. The short answer: it really depends on just what a fund manager is willing or perhaps can afford to spend. An accounting system or data warehouse could easily cost over $100,000 to build. That doesn't include the total amount of data needed, the computing power and operating systems and lets not forget the data interfaces that have to be built to feed into the source systems.
Risk analytics and performance systems don't have to be that expensive; they could come to about $50,000 to $200,000 depending on the number of configurations. Some software firms, such as StatPro, will even package all the market data required and the client just has to supply its holdings and trade information.

As we roll into the holiday season, several things come to mind: adding other people to our gift list besides ourselves (or not…we won't tell!), hanging mistletoe above the RIGHT doorway…oh and of course introducing Hanna Beth as our December "This Miss KL." Yup, you read that right. If you couldn't already guess by our constant Instagram sneak peeks, Hanna Beth is the ultimate mega babe of the month whose closet we want to live in, whose phone case we'd like to steal, and who we're totally girl-crushing on right now.
If you've never heard of Hanna Beth, then allow us to introduce you to this bombastic tastemaker. While successfully making a name for herself as one of the internet's most influential Buzzmakers of our generation , Hanna Beth has also tapped into the fashion scene with her "Sober is Sexy" tee line and become a muse to several designers and fashion magazines. After bringing her to Boston to party it up with the Miss KL team, we've grown rather fond of this pixie-like individual (and absolutely obsessed with her one-of-a-kind-style!) While we're super excited for Christmas to come, we are even more excited to unveil our December "This Miss KL" with Hanna Beth. Read her feature now!

Prisoners are under lockdown at the Giles W. Dalby Correctional facility in Post. The lockdown comes after reported rumors of a possible demonstration being planned by inmates.
As NewsChannel 11 first told you Tuesday night, three or four of the inmates may have started the rumor. So, the warden put the facility under lock down as a preventative security measure. This means, prisoners must stay in their cells until officials search every cell and interview every inmate.
This process could take several days because there are more than 1,000 inmates.

Greening on the Runway
Sergio Dionisio/Getty Images – Frank Schwere/Getty Images
Greening is everywhere. I can't begin to name all of the products and companies that tout eco-sensitivity. Even media outlets as brash as Vice T.V. are focusing on ecological threats while Werner Herzog turns his attention to Antarctica in Encounters at the End of the World , touching upon global warming. Getty Images even has a keyword: "greening" in our creative collection search (results in photo on upper right) . The natural world has played a part in the fashion collections this year, but Australian designers Easton Pearson incorporate nature into their designs with bawdy whimsy.
The Australian fashion design duo showcased their Spring collection at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2008/09 today with a line of punchy fun and modern pieces. The collection mixed opulent fabrics with modest ones, transformed traditional ethnic references into modern shapes and married nature to fashion without seeming self-conscious. Feathers became acid yellow ruffles on a mini skirt and a coral reef life took motion on beaded satin pant ensemble. Platform shoes and bohemian jewelry in neon brights planted the look in the present. The most obvious tie in to nature, and perhaps the most heavyhanded, was in the headpieces worn by models. Beautiful, but mostly unadulterated crowns, headbands and hats made from flora were mated to vivid makeup palettes that verged on face painting to make models read like exotic bird species.

Foster Parent Services Expected in the Reunification Plan
Most agencies now require the completion of numerous training hours to become licensed foster parents to care for children. In Michigan, parents who want to foster children for the Department of Human Services are expected to complete nine PRIDE classes. Each class is about three hours long, which is quite an initial time commitment for two active parents. One of the sessions addresses the agencies expectations of foster parents in the reunification plan. While many foster parents pursue licensing with the hope of adopting a foster child, the agency makes it clear that the initial goal is almost always reunification. Foster parents are considered part of the "foster care team." They are expected to assist the agency in meeting service plan goals for reunification. The foster… [more]

GRS Comment Policy (Updated)
Published on - August 14th, 2011 (by J.D. Roth)
Over the last few months, a lot of new folks have stopped by Get Rich Slowly. Many have stuck around to become regular readers. Thank you. With the influx of traffic, though, the tone of our discussions has become a little less civil. This isn't so good. It's time for a quick review of the GRS comment policy.
Remember, the other folks here are real people, a lot like you
There are certain things I don't allow at Get Rich Slowly. You can criticize me, the staff writers, and the guest posters all you want, but I'm not going to let you do it in a nasty manner, and I'm not going to let you spread misinformation and hysteria. If you leave a comment and it doesn't appear, it's not because I'm trying to squelch your opinion. Either the comment is stuck in the spam filter (in which case I'll rescue it soon), or you've crossed the line from constructive criticism to personal attack (or financial falsehoods).
Furthermore, rude comments on reader stories will not be tolerated; I delete them out of hand, and I feel no remorse for doing so.
How do you tell the difference? Here are a couple of examples. This comment is critical, but it's constructive. It's perfectly fine:
This is a really poor story to post on Get Rich Slowly. There are so many financial holes, things apparently left out, and personal justifications and excuses by the writer that I can't take a single thing from this to apply to my life.
Or this comment from earlier today:
I have only been reading this website for a few months but these are the types of posts I enjoy the least. You ask readers not to write to a narrow audience and yet you do so today — to readers wanting to write free material for a blog you make your living off of. This could be a link off the top but should not be a post IMHO. Niche garden post followed by dont waste my time post — slow weekend on GRS.
These commenters aren't being emotional, and they're not attacking anyone. They're stating their arguments and providing constructive feedback. This is a Good Thing, and demonstrates that even people who disagree can have a polite discussion.
This comment, on the other hand, is way out of line, and will never see the light of day at Get Rich Slowly (well, except as an example of what not to do):
He's probably better off without this callous bitch. Too bad she has children.
Or this:
Dear Laura, You are an idiot. [...] Perhaps you should do a little fact checking before calling yourself an "expert".
Thankfully, Get Rich Slowly doesn't get many comments like these. You folks are great, and you too seem to like sane, constructive conversations. But sometimes after periods of growth — such as the blog is experiencing right now — new readers arrive who are used to more combative discussions on other corners of the internet. That's not how things work around here.
Here at Get Rich Slowly, my goal is to foster smart and civil conversations about money — even when we disagree with each other. If that sounds good to you, then please hang around. If this bothers you, then maybe we're not a good fit. There are other sites you can read if you want to get into arguments or to leave nasty comments.
This article is about Administration
Thank you so much for sharing this video and promoting civility. I am one who still uses ink pens and paper. Two side benefits are that my grandchildren must practice their cursive skills weekly and I have to focus on articulating one thought at a time. Peace is good.
To Tina,
You bring up an interesting point on the "cursive" skills for your grandchildren. I grew up learning cursive in 2nd grade, (I'm 35) but I hear they are starting to teach typing skills very early now rather than cursive.
I don't really see a need for children to learn cursive today, and think learning how to type accurately and fast is a MUCH more vital skill than learning to write cursive.
Obviously, learning how to read and write is vital, I just think that legible handwriting of normal script rather than cursive script is enough (unless you want to become a caligrapher and do fancy invitations and announcements the old fashioned way as an artist, of course).
Most people's cursive hand writing is nearly illegible in any case, I prefer when my boss/co-workers write in normal, non-cursive script. When I was an auditor and making hand notes, I never used cursive for fear of being illegible to the reviewers as well.
Just my opinion, interested to hear your view on why cursive should be mandatory (other than "that's what I learned" remembering that most of the men my father's age never learned to type at all, which is quite embarasssing for them today to hunt and peck keys).
To JD,
I love the comments on your website, it's one of the least hostile places around and the commenters are nearly as insightful as yourself.
There are neurological advantages to learning to write cursive.
There's also just a lot to be said for preserving tradition. Here in Japan, my students study "Old Japanese" – ie the archaic writing. They hate it, and it's hard, but people here care a lot about preserving their cultural legacy. That attitude is part of what makes their culture so strong.
Obviously cursive is a pretty narrow field to preserve, but I think it's worth it.
Why did that video make me tear up? . . . But it did.
Thanks for sharing this…. I'm totally new to blogging and would hate to receive hate email… but regrettably, I suppose I will at some point.
I am thinking, if a blogger can not write a civil comment and try to link to his site frequently what message he probably giving to his own readers. I did, at times, posted links to my blog but I did maintain decency and order.
A couple years ago, I posted a question in the discussion boards about buying a house while still having other debt to pay off. One person wrote a long response in which he called me an idiot and a moron. This person had over 800 posts to his name, and nobody ever called him on his rudeness on that thread. So I've never been back to the discussion boards since.
I had the same experience as Amanda and Jamie. I posted on the GRS Forum asking for advice and the members criticized and demeaned my lifestyle instead of offering advice. I've seen the same members bash others' lifestyles on the forum too. What ever happened to constructive criticism on the forums?
I add my thanks for your efforts to keep the blog civil. I have not posted many things here, I guess I am more of a "lurker" – a term that used to be used a lot on electronic bulletin boards in the 90s. I do enjoy most of the posts here.
It is unfortunate that you even have to enforce standards. I often wonder why people are not just civil without it being the "rule".
Keep up the good work you do, please.
Dan Murphy
Thanks! Your policies (and the fact that you enforce them) make the comment threads here really useful. I don't see that on a lot of sites.
I love the YouTube video. If more people remember that, the Internet would be a more civilized place. Thanks for moderating comments JD. It is definitely one of the reasons I stay around.
That makes me feel better. I just started a podcast and included commenting and e-mailing ground rules, b/c I see and hear so much nastiness.
Glad to see I'm not the only one setting boundaries.
Yes I gotta agree with Amanda, I had a bad experience at the GRS boards as well. And haven't been back either.
All I asked was how did you know how much stuff was enough for you? Then I got criticized on why I should care what other people do. Because I was curious on how people psychologically reach that point. That's all I wanted to know.
I just post here in the comments section, they seem to be moderated better. I wish there was a way to block rude people so they wouldn't post on your threads at the discussion forums and I wish there was a way to delete rude people from your own threads.
On Yahoo Answers if a person is rude to me, I block them and report them for rudeness, or if they're really rude I block them, delete the entire thread, and re-post the same question so their rude comment isn't on it. I'm not against different opinions but I do hate it when people are nasty just for the sake of it.
A lot of people online feel the need to say rude comments that they wouldn't normally tell a person in real life. Sometimes I think we should get away from screen names and use real names online, so we can be held accountable for the things that we say.
Maybe our ISP #s should be posted too, that way we can complain to an ISP provider if there is a case for cyber bullying. I know that's going too far but sometime I hate the anonymity and the nasty attitudes that come from anonymity.
Love, love, love the video! I am thinking of sending it to everyone in my email address book. Thanks for sharing.
Kudos, J.D.! I've stopped reading a lot of websites because of the nastiness that goes on. I appreciate the community you're fostering here.
I guess I am posting because a couple of long recent comments I composed appeared then disappeared, in particular a long one I wrote about my food budget. (I'm positive it was not offensive in any way, I didn't address anyone else!) If it is there, I cannot find it.
After that, I sort of thought …hmm..why am I bothering?
So after reading this post, I'm writing wondering if something is glitching on GRS end?
I usually enjoy the comments as much as the articles because the discussions are civil and lively.
Thank you for screening the negative nellies.
I really enjoyed that video. I wish that employers who post help wanted ads would watch it. I've applied for dozens of jobs over the past few years where I've gotten no response at all. It's very dehumanizing and discouraging (especially because they could just set up an auto-responder to acknowledge receipt).
It's a good reminder that we're all humans out here.
As a writer who has always had a bit of a bite to my words, it is nice to finally see your policy in written form, JD after all these rejections. It's too bad it was not posted at the end of every column.(sincerely meant not sarcasm)
This may or may not be my only post to ever make it onto comments, this part is up to you. At least I know now that you do look at them.
All my past comments have been a negative response to some POINT another person made(not the person).
I guess this blog is simply not for me as my definition of impassioned debate is not allowed. You have every right to run your blog however you see fit by your definition.
I see statements that are illogical but polite or even off topic to have just as little place in comments due to being acts of abuse to people not allowed a passionate response. Best to limit them to prevent feeding trolls.
Do you filter at all based on perspective and content such as a point strongly differing from your own or just tone of the text?
It would be nice to see a response to the last question as I have not had the fortune to filter through the mix of idiocy and "aggressive" disagreement you must filter out.
I know when I read text I disagree with it often sounds angry to me.
I wonder if there are any studies on whether our perspective determines the perceived tone of an author?
Thank you very much for the fun time so far whenever an article steeped my interest.
I look forward to your response.
You know, I've been toying with the idea of putting up a comment policy, but have been resisting. I always say that I welcome opposing viewpoints, balance is a beautiful thing…but I had a length comment one day from someone that had obviously not read the entire article that was not at all civil. I left it up because I try to moderate as little as possible, and other commenters attempted to correct the person. But then again, it's my little 'ole blog and you're much bigger than that.
I don't envy the kinds of comments that you must receive sometimes.
Great post.
And… I like the garden posts and note that they are generally on Saturdays, so it's a choice between a garden post or no post. So I respectfully disagree with the commenter cited.
We reserve the right to correct grammatical and spelling errors in comments on our blog. If that's wrong, we don't want to be right.
These are really good guidelines – but it is upsetting that you even have to put a policy in place, what is the world coming to?
Thanks so much to all the writers – this blog is a (financial) life saver and I really enjoy the daily butt-kicking this gives me to sort my finances out!
This is why I like your blog! I appreciate this kind of effort. It's worth it in the end and it's just one more facet of the unique characteristics of this blog and why I keep coming back.

Stress and Diabetes
When you have diabetes, stress is a double whammy. While the medical community is reluctant to say stress can cause diabetes, they believe it may play a role in its onset—plus, it can make the symptoms worse. Also, diabetes can increase stress in your life, as does any chronic illness.
For most people, stress is unavoidable, but there are ways you can reduce it in your life. And when you're living with diabetes it's essential that you try.
How Stress Affects Diabetes
According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), stress—physical, emotional or lifestyle—influences your blood glucose levels in two ways. It may prevent you from taking proper care of yourself, such as drinking too much, not being physically active, or forgetting to monitor your blood glucose levels or take insulin injections.
Hormones produced when you're stressed, such as epinephrine and cortisol, can also directly alter your blood glucose levels. Normally these hormones help your body respond to "flight or fight" situations by releasing energy—glucose and fat—to the cells. As a result your glucose and ketone levels fluctuate and in some cases, may become high. Also, stress can make your insulin less effective, which further limits your body's ability to regulate blood glucose levels.
The research on stress and diabetes is conflicting, but it's evolving. In a 2005 study published in Diabetes Spectrum, researchers from the Open University in Milton Keynes in the U.K. point out that much of this research has centered on children and adolescents, and different studies have produced different results. Also, in some cases, it isn't just stress that affects diabetes—it's how each person perceives certain stressors and the coping strategies used.
However, the researchers conclude that for people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes, stress can have harmful effects on blood glucose levels, and interventions that help to prevent or cope with stress can have an important positive effect on quality of life and glycemic control.
7 Ways to Manage Stress and Diabetes
1. Set goals. Vague goals won't cut it when it comes to stress and diabetes. Researchers at the Open University recommend that instead of setting "lose weight" as a goal, you should make realistic, measurable and achievable goals, such as "I will walk 20 minutes each day on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday." Instead of "Take better care of my diabetes," set a goal of "I will drink diet cola instead of cola with sugar." Measurable goals are more likely to keep you motivated so you can better cope with diabetes and stress.
2. Identify situations that cause stress in your life. Be as specific as possible and develop better strategies for coping. For instance, if you feel overburdened at work, take a time management seminar, delegate, or negotiate a work-at-home arrangement.
3. Ask for help. At home get your partner or children to pitch in more on a daily basis, or consider hiring professional help. Ask siblings to help with elderly parents, or look for support networks in your community.
4. Exercise more. During exercise your body releases a host of feel-good hormones - endorphins and serotonin. These hormones improve your ability to cope with diabetes, make your body more efficient, and help you to relax.
5. Practice daily relaxation. Learn meditation techniques you can do at home (such as deep breathing for 10 minutes, three times a day), or join yoga or tai chi classes.
6. Eat a healthier diet. Some foods can exacerbate stress, such as sugar and caffeine, so try to eliminate or limit them. Plus, better nutrition naturally helps to control your blood glucose levels.
7. Find creative solutions to managing your diabetes. If stress occurs because you can't remember to take your diabetes medications, buy a watch with an alarm to prompt you. If your weight is the problem and you can't stick to a diet or exercise regimen, sign up for a weight-loss program and hire a fitness coach.

Tadahiko Isomi took over the director's chair for this second unrelated sequel to a not-bad pinku eiga film called Osanazuma No Kokuhaku: Shogeki!. This one has an all-new cast as well, with Yumiko Tatsuno as 16-year-old rape victim Rumi. She moves into an apartment with her boyfriend and his sister, but still suffers sexual problems. That is, until the sister's husband, Kenichi (Hirokazu Inoue), breaks out of jail and seduces Rumi, awakening her sexual desires. Needless to say, Rumi's boyfriend is outraged and goes after Kenichi with a knife. The first two films benefitted greatly from the direction of Shogoro Nishimura, whose skill at rural potboilers elevated the lurid softcore melodramas to a form of trash art. With Isomi at the helm, this installment never rises above its gutter sensibility and is recommended for completists only.

Customer Reviews
These sweats are very short but other wise nice.
Wonderful to have pockets when so many sweatpants I find no longer have them!
These are not what I expected from the picture either. The material is much different than what I expected. We have, however, decided to keep them anyway as they are warm. I just can't use wear them in the original capacity I intended.
I bought 2 pairs of sweatpants for my parents as a Christmas gift. The shipment arrived earlier than expected which was a bonus. They raved at how comfortable and perfect the fit was and especially liked the drawstring waist. Will be buying from this company in the future. Thank you for making this holiday special for others.
