Day Sixteen: Take action online - watch and share Lisa's story
Posted on December 10, 2014
One in Five women in Ireland experiences domestic abuse. It can happen to any woman, in any home and at any stage of her life.
As part of our annual 'One in Five Women' National Balloon Action during the International 16 Days of Action Women's Aid has produced a video to give a snapshot of what this looks like, in one incident of emotional abuse for one woman. The video tells the story of Lisa who is suffering abuse from her partner, yet it has a positive message. And you can be part of it.
This video is a way you can support and show solidarity online with women experiencing domestic abuse.

The events marked the International Day Opposing Violence against Women and the start of the One in Five Women campaign. Over 130 organisations are taking part in Ireland to stand with abused women and children and in support of the all of the local organisations who work to support those affected by domestic abuse.

Day Fourteen: National Helpline Text Service for Deaf or Hard of Hearing Women
Posted on December 08, 2014
For deaf or hard of hearing women experiencing domestic abuse, it can be even more difficult to seek support or to leave an abusive relationship. At Women's Aid, we are committed to seeking solutions to overcome additional barriers to a deaf woman's escape. This year, Women's Aid launched Irish Sign Language videos; these are an important step in ensuring that deaf or hard of hearing women have the same access to support as all women in situations of intimate partner violence.

Posted on December 07, 2014
The Women's Aid National Freephone Helpline is accessible to women in 170 different languages. The telephone interpretation service allows women with limited or no English experiencing domestic violence to access free, confidential telephone support.

An example of the lifeline that the interpretation service provides comes from an early user of the service:

Day Eleven: Abuse increases health risks
Posted on December 05, 2014
Women who have experienced domestic violence are at an increased risk of depression and suicide attempts; physical injuries; psychosomatic disorders; unwanted pregnancies; HIV and other STD's; being killed by a partner. (World Health Organisation, World Report on Violence and Health, 2002)
The effects of violence on a woman's health are severe. In addition to the immediate injuries from physical assault, women may suffer from chronic pain, gastrointestinal disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, and eating problems.
Emotional abuse can also have devastating health impacts. Domestic violence is associated with mental health problems such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. Some studies indicate that women experiencing abuse are at heightened risk for suicide.

Day Ten: 60% of abuse starts before the age of 25
Posted on December 04, 2014
In a national survey on domestic violence in Ireland, almost 60% of people who were severely abused said that the abuse started when they were under 25 years old.
Women's Aid hears from young women when their relationship starts to feels unhealthy, often after something has happened that may have made women feel unsafe or uncomfortable. When it feels like he is just 'too into you'. We also hear from women who have been living with domestic violence for some time that the signs that their partners were possessive and controlling were there from the start. But to them and their family and friends, it appeared like they were just 'so into her'.

Day Nine: 1 in 8 women abused during pregnancy
Posted on December 03, 2014
No one ever deserves to be beaten, threatened, raped and insulted. However, nowhere is domestic violence more stark or disturbing than during pregnancy. Women's Aid is deeply concerned about the prevalence of abuse of women during pregnancy and the post natal period.
Pregnancy does not offer protection to domestic violence. In fact, international research has found that 30% of women who experience domestic violence are physically assaulted for the first time during pregnancy (Child Protection and Welfare Handbook, HSE, 2011).
The Rotunda Hospital conducted research which found that 1 in 8 women surveyed were being abused during their current pregnancy (O'Donnell et all, 2000).

Day Eight: Children need refuge space with their mothers
Posted on December 02, 2014
In 2013, there were 2,052 admissions of women and 2,786 admissions of children to refuge in Ireland (Safe Ireland Statistics 2013).
However, on over 3,494 occasions, services were unable to accommodate women and their children because the refuge was full or there was no refuge in their area.
Studies of homelessness in Ireland continually cite domestic violence as a major reason for women and children becoming homeless in Ireland.

Day Seven: Children see abuse
Posted on December 01, 2014
The majority of children living in a home where domestic violence is present are affected by the abuse. Children are victims of domestic violence both when directly targeted by the perpetrator of abuse and when witnessing the violence directed at their mother. Research has shown that there is a connection between domestic violence and child abuse and that witnessing the abuse is in itself a form of emotional abuse. (Listening to Children: Children's Stories of Domestic Violence, Hogan, F. and O'Reilly M, Office of the Minister For Children, 2007)

Cholesterol-lowering meds may actually help patients on rituximab, study suggests
TUESDAY, Dec. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs don't interfere with rituximab, a medication used to treat lymphomas, say Mayo Clinic researchers, who also found that statins may actually slow progression of some kinds of lymphomas.
Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody often used alone or in conjunction with chemotherapy to treat lymphomas -- cancers of the lymph system. A study published earlier this year suggested that statins may inhibit rituximab's ability to bind to CD20, a protein found on lymphoma cells.
"That finding raised questions about maintaining or stopping cholesterol treatment with statins for patients with lymphoma," Mayo hematologist Dr. Grzegorz Nowakowski said in a clinic news release. "One in five lymphoma patients take cholesterol-lowering statins. This corresponds to the potential for thousands of patients at risk of getting less or ineffective treatment due to statin interference with therapy."
To clarify the issue, the Mayo team studied 228 patients with aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and 293 patients with slowly progressive follicular lymphoma. Twenty-two percent of the patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and 19 percent of patients with follicular lymphoma were taking statins when they began treatment for their lymphoma.
Statin use didn't influence outcomes for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Among the patients with follicular lymphoma, those taking statins actually had better outcomes. At two years, 80 percent of follicular lymphoma patients taking statins had no progression or re-treatment for their cancer, compared with 69 percent of patients not taking statins. This positive effect was observed regardless of the type of treatment: observation only; rituximab alone; or rituximab in combination with chemotherapy.
The study was expected

I get cheezed when I look back and notice I have typos in a post!
Here is the real cheeze for the week... after having trigger finger on my thumb and ring finger since November, I finally made a doctor's appointment. I thought they would heal on their own like other things typically do for me (cancer as an exception). Well, not only did they not heal, but the pain is so bad I can barely pick my nose without my thumb hurting. I've got one more week before I can get in, but man this really hurts. I'm blaming all these weird things on chemo! I never had a single physical thing wrong with me until the cancer dx. Now after all is said and done it seems every time I turn around it's something else.

Since I don't take any horome blocking drugs the fingers couldn't have been from that, but perhaps chemo's lingering effects.
Hope everyone is doing well. I've been laying low these days so it doesn't give anyone a chance to cheeze me off.

Rocky, saw your post from awhile back re: trigger fingers. I have thumb and great toe joint problems that appear to be permanent from AI's. But symptoms have lessened, so, not a huge issue. All the bone, joint, and muscle pain has reduced since getting off Ai's. Gave all three drugs a chance. QOL was more important, so, only have three years on AI's. Now back to old pain that's from post polio, not a big deal b/c I learned to live with it years ago. When on AI's I remember wishing for my old pain. Duh, that's wierd isn't it-- I'm happy.
Couldn't type on kindle, so message was screwy. The kindle has an automatic spellchecker with built in vocabualary. If it doesn't recognize a word, it picks a word. Duh, so gave up. Anywho, very glad your trigger fingers feel better.
Haven't seen Ro in awhile is she okay?

Haven't posted in this forum before, but you ladies have made me belly laugh numerous times. I now feel the need to vent. After waiting for a year after rads I finally decided I was ready for my reconstruction. It is scheduled for Monday. Yesterday I get a letter from my insurance company stating they need more information from the doctor to determine if my surgery was 'medically necessary'! I called them to explain that because it was reconstructive surgery after mastectomy they were required by federal law to cover it. I was then told that they have to 'prove you had a mastectomy'. My issue with this is that I have been with this insurance company for almost 24 years!!! They PAID for my mastectomy, and the chemo, and the rads. I was then told that they were just following protocol. I was so mad I had to get off the phone before I called the representative (who had been extremely rude during the entire call) a lot of very bad words!
Thanks for the opportunity to get that off my chest with some folks who will understand

As the leader of Genentech's R&D program, Levinson utilized a coordinated team approach, which led to the development of the cancer therapeutics Herceptin, Avastin and Rituxan. He also helped devise a systematic scientific approach to develop targeted biotherapeutics. An example of this approach involved the realization that implementing a diagnostic to classify breast cancer on the basis of HER2 expression would identify patients likely to respond to Herceptin. Though more commonplace now, at the time of this development it was a groundbreaking example of personalized healthcare.
Levinson joined Genentech, Inc. in 1980 as a research scientist. He was named senior vice president of research and development in 1993. He served as CEO from 1995 to 2009, and has been chairman of Genentech's board of directors since 1999. In 2010, Levinson was elected to the board of directors of Roche Holding Ltd.
Levinson serves on the board of scientific consultants of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, on the industrial advisory board of the California Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Research, and on the advisory council for the Princeton University Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics. He is a director of Apple, Amyris Inc., NGM Biopharmaceuticals, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Levinson previously served on the corporate board of Google, Inc.
Levinson is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the Irvington Institute's Corporate Leadership Award in Science, the National Breast Cancer Coalition's Corporate Leadership Award, Institutional Investor's Best Biotech CEO award, and Princeton University's James Madison Medal for a distinguished career in scientific research and in biotechnology. Barron's has repeatedly recognized Levinson as one of "The World's Most Respected CEOs." In 2008, he was ele

A Swiss marine biologist and an Australian quantum physicist have found that a species of shrimp from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, can see a world invisible to all other animals.
Dr Sonja Kleinlogel and Professor Andrew White have shown that mantis shrimp not only have the ability to see colours from the ultraviolet through to the infrared, but have optimal polarisation vision a first for any animal and a capability that humanity has only achieved in the last decade using fast computer technology. The findings are published in the journal PLoS ONE.
The mantis shrimp is a delightfully weird beastie, said Professor White, of the University of Queensland. They're multi-coloured, their genus and species names mean 'mouth-feet' and 'genital-fingers'; they can move each eye independently, they see the world in 11 or 12 primary colours as opposed to our humble three, and now we find that this species can see a world invisible to the rest of us.
Dr Kleinlogel, is based at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysics in Frankfurt, and collected the shrimp from the reef. She notes that, ...scuba divers know them as 'thumb-splitters', they've got wickedly strong claws and are very aggressive!
Most animals can tell how fast the electric field in a light wave is oscillating, which is perceived as colour. (Blue light oscillates faster than green, which is faster than red). The direction of the oscillation is known as polarisation: many animals, from budgerigars to ants have some form of polarisation vision. Since the 1950s, animals have been shown to use linear polarisation vision for navigation, for finding food, for evading hunters, and for sex, or as Professor White says, ...for the four fs: feeding, fighting, fleeing andflirting.
Commonly, polarisation vision is quite restricted: in its simplest form, different directions of polarisation show up as lighter or darker patches you can see this yourself by looking at clear b

Chicago at Vancouver - Game 5
Kris Versteeg controlled the puck in the Canucks zone and fed a crisp pass to Brian Campbell at the point. Campbell one-timed a slap shot that was turned aside by Roberto Luongo. However, Luongo released a long rebound and Byfuglien was in the right spot at the right time to bury the puck into the empty net and give the Hawks a 1-0 lead.
Byfuglien's second goal of the playoffs wasn't only the first time Chicago scored first in this series, but it also marked the first time the Hawks scored in the first period on Luongo.
Once in the Chicago zone, Sedin passed the puck across the ice to Mats Sundin who was waiting at the left wing boards. Sundin fired a shot from the top of the left circle past Nikolai Khabibulin, giving the Canucks a 2-1 lead.
With the man advantage, Troy Brouwer knocked down Ryan Kesler along the boards to keep the play alive. Seconds later, Kesler tried to clear the puck, but Brian Campbell kept it in and dished the puck to Dustin Byfuglien. Byfuglien inched closer to the goal and wristed a shot through Luongo's five-hole using the screen of Brouwer.
Although he didn't get credit for a point on the play, Troy Brouwer was a major contributor for the tying goal. From the Versteeg scrum to Byfuglien's second goal of the game, Chicago grabbed plenty of momentum heading into the third period.
The Blackhawks were on a power play with less than seven minutes to go and the game tied 2-2. Cam Barker got caught pinching, allowing Kesler to lead a 2-on-1 break against Brian Campbell. Campbell held the middle perfectly to prevent a pass and forced Kesler to shoot short side. Khabibulin didn't overcommit to the potential pass and made an outstanding arm save on the snap shot, putting the puck into the screen.
Although Khabibulin only faced 21 shots in the game, this save kept the score tied -- and just over a minute later, the Hawks went ahead to stay on Dave Bolland's goal.
Kane moved into the right circle and threw a perfect seam pass to Dave Bolland, who was waiting near the left dot. Bolland snapped the puck over Roberto Luongo for the go-ahead goal with 5:05 to go for the game-winner in the Hawks' 4-2 win in Game 5, giving them a chance to wrap up the series at home on Monday night.
FINAL SCORE: Blackhawks 4, Canucks 2

Highly-skilled immigrants still seen as a need
Steve Henn
Sep 1, 2007 The new immigration bill being debated on Capitol Hill would give more weight to aspiring immigrants' education and skills. But many in the business world say it still won't deliver the workers they need. Steve Henn reports.
Immigration reform's new hurdle
John Dimsdale
Sep 1, 2007 Last week's compromise on immigration reform remains tenuous as critics attack it as too easy on illegals from one side, unfair to them from the other. But the deal stands its first test on Capitol Hill today, John Dimsdale reports.
Senate agrees on immigration plan (Sorry, Emma)
John Dimsdale
Sep 1, 2007 Forget about the tired, the poor, the huddled masses. . . If a new Senate proposal becomes law, immigrants will need a tip-top resume and bankable skills to come to this country. John Dimsdale reports.
Hotel execs call for immigration reform
Kai Ryssdal
Sep 22, 2011 CEOs of six big hotel chains have written an open letter to Congress demanding action on immigration reform. One of them, Bill Marriott of Marriott International, spoke with Kai Ryssdal.
Immigration reform has foes on both sides
Sep 1, 2007 Conventional wisdom is that with Democrats in control of Congress, President Bush could well get a new immigration law. But commentator Jeff Birnbaum says the Democrats aren't so eager for change.
Immigration reform stuck at the border
Steve Henn
Sep 1, 2007 Lawmakers are scrambling to come up with a compromise on immigration reform before '08 politicking makes that impossible, but the two sides can't agree on which workers to let into the country. Steve Henn reports.
Border patrol forecasts economy
Dan Grech
Sep 1, 2007 Researchers have stumbled across an interesting correlation between immigration and the economy: The number of migrants apprehended at the Mexican border appears to be a very good predictor of economic growth in the U.S. Dan Grech reports.
Immigration reform still not close
John Dimsdale
Sep 1, 2007 Congress continues to struggle with immigration reform. Back-room politicking hasn't done much so far. John Dimsdale reports.
Keeping Mexicans home
Kai Ryssdal
Sep 1, 2007 While immigration is a problem for the U.S., Mexico has an emigration problem. Latin America expert Pamela Starr talks with Kai Ryssdal about the Mexican President Calderon's efforts to deal with it.
Taking immigration back to the streets
Alisa Roth
Sep 1, 2007 Protestors will rally in cities across the country today. But whether they match last year's massive marches or not, with so many lawmakers already in '08 campaign mode, it may be too late for meaningful reform, Alisa Roth reports.

"Have fun along the way" A simple idea that is often forgotten.
Alessandra Rizzotti
True I always forget to have fun during challenges. We had a team-building event for GOOD- where we had to focus on getting an egg to a person on a spoon or getting across a field during a three legged race while transporting popcorn in a basket on our feet into another basket and I tell you, these activities made it so easy to focus and really enjoy the present moment. I hope Happy Startup Summer Camp does fun exercises like these!

As soon as you guys figure out what activities will be happening, would love to know what you're doing beyond the great conference. Great pledge, too!

PAWTUCKET – Tuesday's clash pitting combatants North Providence and Shea was one of those back and forth, knock down, drag out affairs that you couldn't take your eyes off, and for the longest time it seemed and felt like the game could go either way.
Despite the stakes being high – the regular-season division title was on the line at "The Cage" – both head coaches, N.P.'s Paul Rizzo and Matt Pita of Shea, took a moment at 6:57 of the second half to engage in some playful ribbing.
CENTRAL FALLS — Just a minute before he and his troops began walking toward the door for a celebratory bus ride home, Cumberland High head coach Gary Reedy was told that this Division II-North clash against host Central Falls High ended with a combined 45 personal fouls and 39 turnovers.
WARWICK — Those reports on Cumberland's demise down the stretch have been greatly exaggerated.
The Clippers put the clamps on a four-game winless streak in a very big way on Monday afternoon by beating the team they are battling for second place in the Division II-North ranks, Pilgrim.
Andrew Dulac and Michael Kinch supplied the early scoring and goaltender Patrick Noke turned away 27 shots to lead the Clippers to a much-needed 2-0 victory at Thayer Arena.

Awesome start!--lets see some more. Don't tease us with one image lol
hh just one artwork more
Amara91 - Thanks, and sorry! I didn't know I could add more than one image per post. I've added two more piece and I'll be adding some sketch work from my books as I scan them. Is there a limit to how many images I should attach to a post?
inspectorsokar - I've edited the post with two more images for now, more to come soon!
Thank you for your interest guys, I'm really excited about starting out on this site now.
Here are some pencil and charcoal sketches. The first is just a facial study - I need a lot of work on human faces/heads. The second is a bust study of an original character of mine from a story I am writing. I used an image from google as a reference for the face. All other elements are mine.

I love the illustrative look of the cloud sin the last painting, but the whale dosent look as strong as it could be, the perspective seems alittle, skewed maybe you could make it pop a little more, push the dynamics a little
My Sketchbook!: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=208454
My Blog!: http://james-collins.tumblr.com//
My Portfolio: http://james-collins.co.uk/
I thought the whale was a submarine at first, haha. My bad.
Like TheJackal said, you should make it more apparent, maybe make it's tail above the water a little
Also, I see you like scars, on your characters Anyway, you're off to a great start, keep 'em coming!
TheJackal - Thank you for the critique on the cloud/whale piece. The whales were added as an afterthought so I didn't use any reference. If I can find some nice reference for that perspective I'll try to fix it up.
MrMagic - haha a submarine! Yeah, I can see how the whales are not typically iconic. I don't think I could have the tail fluke and the dorsal fin showing at the same time due to the locomotion method of the whales (if a tail fin is showing, the whale is usually diving, thus the dorsal fin would be obscured by the water). So really what it comes down is one or the other (dorsal fin or tail fluke). I will look up some reference to see if I can make the whales more recognizable. Thank you for the critique! And scars are always cool.
Here's a few brand new things from me (made last night and this evening). The first piece is digital but for the rest I wanted to work in traditional media a bit since most of my paid work is digital and I needed a break. I noticed how stiff the figure on the first piece came out (and over-rendered, ouch) so I decided to loosen up and do some gesture drawings via posemaniacs. I hope I am doing gesture drawing right - it's something I never did in any of my classes.
The last piece is a quick self portrait with lighting below and to the viewer's left.
Also, there's a pegasus in there referenced from the "Draw 50 Horses" book by Lee J. Ames. I tried to combine two poses illustrated in the book. Horses are hard!
Anyway, crit away please!
Damn! Your brush gestures are awesome - consider me inspired! You've also got a sweet knack for faces that I wish I had. I just can't seem to get the hang of the head.
Peepul: Tulokyn :: Nakhon :: Deadlyhazard :: raminafshafari :: Mr. Magic
karmiclychee - thanks! You should give it a try sometime, the results are interesting. =) As for faces, thank you so much, I've been really trying to improve because I am not very confident with them.
Here are some more 30 second gesture studies, this time with a crayola watercolor brush pen using http://pixelovely.com/tools/gesture.html for reference. Last image contains a few 5 min charcoal study also using pixelovely.com. Glad I picked up that site from a post in another sketchbook!
I'll also be giving the loomis books ( http://alexhays.com/loomis/ ) a try tomorrow after work.
goood keep up
i love ur lines in the horse drawing
and about loomis its the best thing to do
STUDY STUDY from them
they are like an art bible
i wish u luck
inspectorsokar - Thank you so much for the encouragment!
Here's some updates. First are some loomis inspired doodles. Second is a sketch for this week's CHOW. Critique please!
i like the pose in ur last chow pease.. tho the weapon suggests movement. or a swinging type of motion.. tho the arm thats holding it.. suggests other wise. my only thoughts about it tbh .. too im a nab in that kind af stuff.
keep posting.
oma - thanks for the critique! I was trying to make the whole pose look dynamic with movement but I can see how the weapon and arm disagree. thanks!
Since I couldn't finish that chow in time here's a sketch for the next one. Critiques would be awesome! Theme is Steam-punk Aphrodite.
Your brush gestures are really cool ! Should try that! For your steampunk sketch maybe you could give her more steampunk looking goggles? just a suggestion!
long time no post, time to get back on the horse
Wow I really like those water colour figure studies!!! Amazing work!

Next are two gouache studies I did using Nat Geo photographs as reference. They are pretty small (2"x6") and painted on wood boards.

Also a speed paint from observation of a photo. Been looking at the Ctrl + Paint tutorials and decided to try some digital painting techniques from that site. http://www.ctrlpaint.com/

eclip-se - thanks! The crayola watercolor brushes are really cheap here actually. Crayola makes mostly art stuff for kids. I am sure there is an equivalent where you live. ;D
Blue Gun - thank you so much for that compliment! Up until recently I haven't been very confident with how my faces turn out - glad you think they got attitude.
Here are 36 gesture/proportion practice thingies, some from reference, some from my head. trying to learn as I go.
Also a quick master copy from William Bouguereau. Eye-dropped the colors. Was interesting to see what hues/shades he used.
Here are two studies I did yesterday and today, both from photographs. I've also worked on more loomis studies but those will have to wait for my scanner to be hooked up.
Haven't been feeling so well lately so I hope I will start feeling better and do more art soon.
a nebulous-spacey speed paint. was messing around with creating new brushes for it.
just got out of a mental health hospital, feeling a bit better. bought a small model skeleton, been doing bone studies to help with anatomy and proportion. will post those soon.

Taking the concept of limited government to the next level, the Republican-controlled Tennessee House of Representatives this week passed a rule capping the number of bills a member can introduce each year at 15.
Backers of the cap — believed to be the first of its kind in the nation — say it will streamline the legislative process, save money and cut down on such outre proposals on roadkill edibility and low-hanging waistlines for men that have earned the chamber a national reputation for legislative originality.
According to state figures, the House have averaged about 1,341 bills each year since 2005, which works out to 13.5 bills for each of the 99 House members, although individual bill introductions can vary widely.
Minority Democrats said the bill cap, approved Thursday, smacked of censorship under the old Soviet Union, but defenders said the limit could improve the quality of the bills that do get introduced.
"Moses did a really good job with just 10 laws, and we're getting 15 apiece," state Rep. Bill Dunn, a Republican from Knoxville, told the Tennessean newspaper.
Republicans rejected a Democratic amendment to allow the chamber's majority and minority leaders to be allowed to file an extra 15 bills. The ban does not extend to the state Senate, but it would limit the number of new laws GOP Gov. Bill Haslam can propose in his legislative package to 75.
The bill-introducing cap is not a hard one: It does not apply to private acts that affect an individual locality in the state and does not apply to honorary resolutions, according to the Tennessean. It also exempts bill introduced by the governor or by House members dealing with budgetary and bonding authority issues.
