text: Tuesday, May 2, 2006 Sometimes, 'Integrated' Airport Security Means 'Integrated' Vendors Air Safety Week Increasingly, security firms are striving to meet U.S. airport operators' needs by installing the most integrated, comprehensive security systems possible. But their approaches vary. In one instance, two video surveillance firms, St. Louis-based Cernium and Atlanta-based VistaScape, publicly announced April 18 that they are developing an integrated system to incorporate their respective signature products, Perceptrak and SiteIQ. Once the combined system is ready to roll, it will cover the entire airport grounds, from the front of the terminal to the outermost bounds of the perimeter. But over at Vidient Systems, Inc., its CEO, Brooks McChesney, says that the firm's SmartCatch product is already doing all that by itself at Salt Lake City Int'l Airport (SLC), San Diego Int'l (SAN), San Francisco Int'l (SFO), and Tallahassee Regional (THL). Moreover, Vidient isn't looking to partner with other video surveillance firms, but with "other security-sensor companies that give us access and interfaces to devices that can extend our platform beyond video," McChesney tells Air Safety Week. Meanwhile, the financial consulting firm of Frost and Sullivan, which follows the aviation-security industry (among others) said in early April that the worldwide market for layered, integrated airport security solutions is getting quite bullish. Such solutions "will require a combination of technologies ranging from those used for the outermost part of the perimeter to internal operations at the command, control and communications center," the firms says. Also, "innovative technologies, particularly intelligent video surveillance systems, are becoming an integral part of mainstream airport security." Such a market analysis fits both the Cernium-VistaScape partnership and Cernium's solo game plan. The former also can be seen as a marriage of two complementary technologies. Whereas Cernium's Perceptrak goes close-in for a threat analysis, VistaScape's SiteIQ scans for the big picture. Perceptrak's strength is a form of "behavior recognition" that can not only be applied to people, but also to vehicles. It detects 16 different types of "behavior,| including the old stand-by that earlier systems focused on -- wrong-way motion -- as well as newer behavioral categories, such as various forms of erratic movement. SiteIQ detects and track objects -- either vehicles or people -- over large outdoor spaces, to see if they are violating pre-set user-defined security zones.Last year, SiteIQ was installed at Boston's Logan Int'l (BOS), where the system is keeping an eye on ships in the harbor, as well as on vehicles and people. Technically, the difference between the two technologies comes down to the number of pixels used. Perceptrak needs a lot to properly analyze the behavior of people and objects in the video image. SiteIQ can get by with just a few pixels, or a small fraction of the total image, to detect something suspicious out on the edge of the tarmac, Cernium CEO Craig Chambers explains to Air Safety Week. So, combining Cernium's "micro" focus with VistaScape's "macro" emphasis should provide airport operators with an ongoing, up-to-the minute security picture, the CEOs of both firms agree. In the many talks Cernium has had with its customers and potential customers, it's become clearer that what airport operators really want is one system with multiple capabilities, VistaScape CEO Glenn McGonnigle tells Air Safety Week. Otherwise, if the system for accessing the perimeter is completely distinct from the access-control system and both are separate from something else, this results in "swivel chair integration" problems for the human operators, McGonnigle says. Chambers cites a well publicized incident from a few years ago in New York, when some recreational boaters with some kind of problem or emergency stumbled ashore and wandered onto the tarmac. They also went unnoticed by airport authorities for a long time. But under a scenario like a Cernium- VistaScape system, the perimeter breach would have been detected immediately, and shortly after, airport management would had information indicating that the intruders were acting more like lost souls than like terrorists. Or, instead of proceeding from macro to micro information, a new event might first get picked up by the close-in behavioral analysis data, as with the detection of a passenger's wrong-way motion at a concourse exit, McGonnigle says. Such data then needs to be quickly coupled with a bigger picture, like what exact exit and concourse the behavior is occurring at. Meanwhile, Vidient's McChesney agrees that integrated systems are what airport operators need. But "Cernium and Vistascape's partnership tells me that they acknowledge that they lack the capacity and technology to undertake an entire airport by themselves." Both Cernium's Chambers and VistaScape's McGonnigle declined to respond to McChesney. The problem many vendors are having is that they have long focused on one piece of the technological pie or another, McChesney adds. But Vidient has "been working feverishly" to do just that. In Tallahassee, the firm integrated data from a variety of sensors -- not just video -- and is fused it all onto a common "video backbone," McChesney says. So, command-center personnel in the center do not have to toggle between data streaming in from two or more situations to figure out what's actually going on. "From day one," Vidient has worked at being able to combine different types of detection onto a common platform. Right now, "We believe we're the only ones that can do the entire facility," he says. Another point McChesney makes is that a fully integrated airport security system is not just video. This includes data from sources such as GPS, worker card readers, biometrics, and license-plate recognition, to name a few. For his part, McGonnigle agrees that thorough surveillance is not just about video cameras. Many firms, including his own, he admits, have been a little guilty of over-hyping the potential benefits of video analytics used alone. But it's becoming clearer that video is just one part of a comprehensive solution. In a related development, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on April 12 distributed a "Request for White Papers for Airport Perimeter Security," seeking the development of more innovative technologies and the support of $4.7 million in new funding, according to the Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA). The white-paper submission deadline is rapidly approaching -- on May 5. For more information, or to obtain a copy of the TSA request, ACI-NA recommends contacting Charles Chambers, cchamers@xxxx na.aero, or Elle Han, ehan@xxxxxxxxxxx, who are both at (202) 293-8500.

Treatment for a 5 year old kid
Hi. Sometimes, whenever I call my daughter, it seems like she's not listening. I was calling her for 4 times before she responds to me or go near me. Everytime that she does that, I automatically like shout at her and tell her that I would cut her ears and never speak to her whenever she does it again. However, that disciplinary action doesn't work for her. Any suggestions?
30th August 2012 05:42 AM #2
I have two main suggestions for you. The first is have you had her hearing tested recently? I'm an Audiologist and many children of your daughter's age can temporarily suffer from hearing problems through a condition called glue ear. This is where the middle ear becomes filled with fluid which makes it difficult for children to hear quiet sounds. If your daughter does have this condition then it is nothing to be concerned about as it is very common and in many cases resolves itself. However, in more persistent cases treatment such as grommets are necessary. If your daughter does have glue ear then it's also important to face her when speaking to her and to speak clearly. You can ask your doctor for a referral to have her hearing tested by an Audiology or ENT (ear, nose and throat) department.
However, it may be the case that her hearing is normal but, again like many children, she simply becomes engrossed in the activity she is doing and doesn't reply to you. I would not respond to this with shouting as that shows that you have lost control. In fact, I believe that Gentle Discipline is an excellent way to encourage respect between parents and children and ultimately leads to good behaviour. Dr. Sears (a Gentle Parenting expert) has some excellent resources about Gentle Discipline. You can still expect good behaviour from your daughter but the way you deal with her behaviour is key in this approach.
I hope this is helpful for you.
Best wishes,

Yes, I believe there are no issues with her ear. I agree with your Gentle Discipline. Thank you.
31st August 2012 12:22 AM #4
I'm glad the Gentle Discipline link was helpful for you. If you do have any concerns about your daughter's hearing in the future then I would check with your doctor as children's hearing levels can temporarily fluctuate due to temporary health conditions.
Best wishes,

Telling your daughter that you will "cut her ears" and never speak to her are idle threats. What I mean by this is that you are telling her you will do things that you have no intention of carrying out.
When you tell her things you will do, and you don't follow through, this sets up a situation where she chooses to ignore what you're saying because she knows (by your previous threats) that you will not follow through.
Instead, you need to only tell her things that you truly will do, and then follow through with it.
One example would be a situation like this:
Let's pretend your daughter's name is Maria and she is watching a TV program that she likes. We will also pretend that it is dinner time and she needs to come and set the table.
You give her the direction you want her to do.
"Maria, please come into the kitchen, wash your hands and set the table for dinner." (You have been very specific, giving 3 actions you want her to do. You have let her know that you want her to get up and move to the kitchen, you want her to wash her hands, and you want her to set the table.)
Maria ignores your direction.
The next thing you should do is move towards her, while giving the direction again. This time you shorten the direction to just one action. As you move toward her, you say...
"Maria, you need to come here now." Now you have told her to "move" or come towards you.
Maria ignores you and continues to watch TV.
At this point, you reach Maria, take her hand, and help her to move. You could either choose to turn the TV off before you take her hand, or after, but you want to remove the distraction and get her full attention.
Maria should go with you to the kitchen at this point, and do what you say (give her the direction again, wash hands and set table).
If she throws a tantrum you can remove her to her room until she can come out with a happy face and be willing to help.
But if she goes to the kitchen with you, to do what you ask, you now have an opportunity to tell her what consequences will happen the next time you ask her to do something and she doesn't respond.
Do NOT make a request of her more than once, unless you are moving towards her to get her to move. If you only ask once, you will not escalate to a point of anger and you will be less likely to give idle threats... which will then help your daughter to start respecting what you say. "Mum means business! I'd better do what she says."
Now, this may seem like a lot of work on your end (you don't want to be disturbed from what you're doing) but this simple action to move towards her and take her hand to guide her back to the kitchen has done something very important.
It has told Maria that you mean what you say (no idle threats anymore) and if she won't respond the first time, you will "help" her do what you said by taking her hand and guiding her - helping her stand up and move.
Now you have an opportunity to curb the behavior. For the next week, you enforce every direction you give her, and you don't give any idle threats.
Try this and I believe you will see some good change in your daughter's responses.
Warm Regards,

The Blue Jays were the lucky recipients of the fire sale in Miami and it now looks like Toronto will be fighting for a spot at the top of the American League.
Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, and Mark Buehrle are the centerpieces of the trade. Miami did well to get some good pieces in return but most of the best pieces they got back aren't going to be MLB ready for next season. There are plenty of people mad at the ownership in Miami after opening a brand new stadium last season. New Marlins manager Mike Redmond has to be left shaking his head.
As a fan of the Twins, it's hard not to wonder what could have been. There are plenty of holes on the Twins roster for next season and the front office could have filled most of them with a deal like the one Toronto just pulled off. Minnesota needs to add multiple starting pitchers and it would help to strengthen up the middle infield.
It sounds like the Twins were in talks with the Marlins about multiple players but the details aren't exactly clear on who was involved or how deep talks got. There are obviously plenty of things that have to be considered when it comes to trade of this type. Maybe the Marlins didn't want anyone in the Twins system or the Twins might not have been offering some of their top prospects.
We may not ever know what could have been...
Here's a look at what the Twins could have looked like next season if Reyes, Buehrle, and Johnson were brought into the fold. Obviously, not all of the names listed below might have survived the offseason on the Twins roster but it's still fun to dream.
SP: Josh Johnson
SP: Mark Buehrle
SP: Scott Diamond
SP: Liam Hendriks
SP: Kyle Gibson
C: Joe Mauer
1B: Justin Morneau
2B: Jamey Carroll
3B: Trevor Plouffe
SS: Jose Reyes
LF: Josh Willingham
CF: Denard Span
RF: Ben Revere
DH: Ryan Doumit
That looks like a roster that could contend in the AL Central in 2013 but that dream won't come to fruition. Instead, we wait for the Twins to make their first offseason move and we are left to contemplate over a lost opportunity.

WATCH: Miley Cyrus releases 'Adore You' music video
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Writhing between bed sheets in sheer underwear, Miley Cyrus is capping the year with another sexy new video.
The five-minute clip for Cyrus' "Adore You" was leaked on Christmas Day, just ahead of its promised Thursday release date.
Miley didn't take too kindly to whoever wrecked her post-Christmas video release plans, tweeting Wednesday that her fans, who she called "Smilers," likely would have broken another record if it wasn't for someone leaking her video. She then added, "Alllll good! Keep smiling."
Before the official release of her "Adore You" music video, Cyrus posted an Instagram pic of herself and the family play fighting on Christmas Day near their Christmas tree, adding the caption, "Annual family fist fight."
Watch Miley's "Adore You" video below! **WARNING: NUDITY**

Snowflake Owls
Click each image to open the design in a new browser so you can print it.
Print the design on thinner paper if possible. Once printed, fold in the left half under the right half on the line, keeping the owl on top. Then fold the bottom half up under the top half on the line, keeping the owl on top. Fold the rest of the circle into thirds using the two remaining lines, keeping the owl on top. Cut out the owl, discarding the gray portion. Carefully unfold your owl snowflake.
Rusty the Paper Plate Owl
Rusty the Great Horned Owl was hit by a car. His right eye was injured and later had to be removed. He lives in a big pen with his mate, Iris. View the live video feed of Rusty.
- Three 12" paper plates
- Scissors
- Glue (liquid or permanent stick)
- Craft paint in tones of brown, rust, black, yellow or your choice
- Paint brushes
- Googly eye (optional)
Glue 2 plates together to create a head and a body.
Cut the 3rd plate in half.
Glue the plate halves to the sides of the body to create a perching owl or sticking out for a flying owl.
Mark the center of the paper plate that is the head. Make a cut 2 inches to the left of the center mark and 2 inches to the right of the center. Fold this flap forward and glue.
Paint the plates as in the picture of Rusty.
Great horned owls have yellow eyes. Use the googly eye or paint Rusty's left eye. Be sure to paint eye yellow with a black center.
Use these ideas to make your own parliament (group) of owls!
Pandora, Patrick, & Patience - The original triplet owls
(Craft based on the book "Owl Babies" by Martin Waddel)
Watch the video of one of the owlets' first teenager hoots.
Read the book Owl Babies and substitute the triplet owlet names for the owl names in the story.
Optional: substitute the names of children you know
- 8 1/2 x 11 white paper for background
- Watercolors and brushes. Choose day colors: green, blue and yellow or evening colors: orange, yellow, black
- Optional: use a patterned scrapbook paper
- 3 pieces of 3x5" rectangles
- Brown construction paper for branch or a real twig
- 6 brown periods (for eyes) and 15 commas (for beaks and talons) from an alphabet set
- Optional: use a black marker to draw eyes, beaks, and talons
Paint the background in layered watercolor working left to right. Let dry.
Tear the edges of the rectangles to create a fuzzy look for the owlets. They haven't grown in their adult feathers.
Tear the brown paper to create a branch for the owlets to perch on. Glue to the background.
Arrange the owlets on the branch close together. Glue in place.
Add the periods for eyes and the commas for beaks and talons. Owls have two talons facing forward on each foot. (A marker also works well to create the owl features.)
Owl Necklace
Pandora, Patrick and Patience were fitted with transmitters to track their flight patterns. See the map of their travels. With this necklace you will always know where your owl is.
- 4 1/2" circle cut from a cereal box
- 2 water bottle lids
- 2 buttons (optional: 2 brads/paper fasteners, large heads)
- 2 x 2¾" oval and one 3½" circle cut from pattern paper. We used a chevron pattern to mimic feathers.
- Scraps of orange paper for a beak
- Fun fur yarn
- One length of string, yarn or ribbon about 12' long or long enough to get over the head comfortably. (Always use caution with small children and necklaces to avoid choking.)
- Scissors
- Paper punch
Cut out the 4½ inch circle from a cereal box.
Trace the circle and oval on the reverse side of the pattern paper and cut out.
Glue the oval the wide way in the lower half of the cereal box circle.
Cut the 3½ circle in half to be the wings. Glue them to the side of the cardboard in a resting or flying position. We accordion folded the wings to give them depth.
Add the water lids for eyes, top side down and glue. Place the buttons inside the water lids and glue. You may center them if wish or give your owl a WILD look.
If using brads/paper fasteners, drill a hole in the plastic lids and use the brad to attach the lids to the circle body.
Cut the orange paper in a triangle for a flat beak or a rhombus shape for a dimensional beak. Glue it down.
Use the fun fur in strips to add "feathers" to the tips of the wings or on the body of the owl.
Punch a hole in the top of your circle. Fold the necklace length in half and thread through the hole. Take the loose ends and thread them through the loop, pull tight. You now have a slip knot that will allow your necklace to lay flat. Tie the loose ends togther to complete the necklace.
Consider adding more owls of different size circles to your necklace or perhaps make a banner of owls!

Shirley Jones
Shirley Jones was virtually unknown when Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein cast her as Laurie in the 1955 movie version of their hit stage musical Oklahoma!. She later played the same role on Broadway and established a career in both theater and the movies, including the musicals The Music Man (1962) and Carousel (1956, featuring a young Ron Howard). She won a 1960 Academy Award for her portrayal of a prostitute in the film Elmer Gantry (based on the novel by Sinclair Lewis and starring Burt Lancaster). From 1970-74 she played Shirley Partridge on the TV show The Partridge Family, the role for which she is perhaps most remembered. On the show she was the mother of a "rock" act who also sang in the band. The show co-starred Danny Bonaduce and her real-life stepson, early '70s heartthrob David Cassidy. She was married to actor Jack Cassidy from 1956-74 and is also the mother of late '70s heartthrob Shaun Cassidy.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The only bad thing about Noa Cafe in Wynwood is that it's open only for lunch on weekdays. That's because chef-owner Adi Kafri's primary business is a catering company, while the miniature restaurant is her side project. That said, the Israeli native's passion for what she calls her "baby" is undeniable. So is her commitment to offering clients fresh and vibrant dishes at surprisingly low prices. The portions are generous and the ingredients topnotch. For $12.95, you can feast on salmon teriyaki with orange peel, scallions, ginger, and lemongrass served with two sides such as sweet potatoes and organic mixed greens. If you dine in the intimate space, you'll easily forget you're at a restaurant and think you're being served by an unusually talented home chef. Other permanent fixtures for lunch include lemon-grilled chicken with rosemary ($11.95), chicken pad thai ($12.95, or $10.95 without the meat), and focaccia sandwiches ($8.95). Each week , Kafri introduces new entrées, such as vodka cheese ravioli with salmon ($14). This blink-and-you'll-miss-it spot has officially upped the ante on affordable, gourmet lunches.
Cocktails in these heady days are complex magic tricks, summoned from the ether by the showstoppers known as bartenders. But just as there's a difference between a Houdini and the clown at kiddie parties, there's a huge gulf in skill behind all the smoke and mirrors fluffing up craft cocktails around town. That's why the cocktails at Bar Centro are so satisfying. True, they're gorgeous, and there's a fair share of showmanship with liquid nitrogen and props. But the cleverest of cocktails has to be well rounded and delicious. Which is where José Andrés comes in. He's a master at making food that's both whimsical and delicious, and his chef-meets-Cirque du Soleil sensibilities translate to the cocktail menu. Here, a margarita ($16) is kissed by "salt air" (a bit of sea foam floating in the glass substitutes for a salt rim, giving you a more nuanced bit of salt in every sip); a dirty martini ($16) is graced with an olive spherification that bursts briny juice into your mouth when firmly pressed between your teeth; and a caipirinha ($16) is turned into a potent brain-freeze-inducing lime granita when mixed with liquid nitrogen. Each sip? Magical.
From the cash-only status to the friendly faces behind the bar, not all that much has changed at Duffy's Tavern in the past 25 years. Considering that this Red Road institution hits the trifecta of any great neighborhood bar — TV sets tuned to live sports, reasonable beer prices, and, of course, tasty food you can eat with your hands — that's one status quo we're thrilled to see maintained. Duffy's cranks out delicious renditions of all the usual suspects — chicken wings, burgers, and nachos — with some well-known specialties, like the Death Dog, a dangerously spicy frank whose ingredients remain top secret. Don't be too alarmed — wary folks can order the chili cheese dogs, which come packed and weigh a quarter-pound. Pints of beer start at $3 (with pitchers at just $10), and the mugs are always frosted. Duffy's might not be situated at the end of a rainbow, but the ceiling decorated in kitschy posters, the beer bottle chandelier, and the license plate collection on the bathroom walls make this place Celtic gold.
There are many terms for the person who crafts your cocktail: mixologist, bartender, barkeep. But it's best to just call Julio Cabrera a cantinero, the Cuban term for professional bartender. The word is romantic, conjuring up a sepia-toned image of a gentleman who prides himself on making the perfect drink for his guests at the Regent Cocktail Club. A man who believes that working a bar is a noble profession that requires the skills of historian, scientist, mathematician, chef, and psychologist all in one. Julio Cabrera is all of that and more. This cantinero, in the classic sense of the word, is a master of all trades. When he's not posing for GQ or winning awards such as Most Imaginative Bartender from Bombay Sapphire's national competition, he's conducting pilgrimages to El Floridita Bar in Havana, where another cantinero, Constantino Ribalaigua, made daiquiris for a writer named Ernest Hemingway. "Bartender," "cantinero," whatever you want to call him, the dapper Cabrera is the epitome of what a master of his craft should be: a man who elevates his field by paying tribute to those before him and serving as a mentor to those coming up.
Who says that a delicious, well-prepared breakfast need be reserved for Sunday brunch? At Deli Lane, the thick red plates are constantly full of fluffy eggs and perfectly browned Belgian waffles. If Leslie Knope ever left Pawnee, Indiana, for Miami, she would quickly forget about JJ's Diner after a meal at Deli Lane. Operating hours start bright and early at 7 a.m. every day. So you have plenty of time for a filling breakfast before work (or naptime). Tip: Try the power-up breakfast, which includes two eggs, potatoes, toast, two pancakes, and choice of ham, bacon, or sausage for $6.50. It's served Monday through Friday from 7 to 11 a.m. Other breakfast items are served all day long. But don't walk in asking for all the bacon and eggs they have, because they just might abide by that request.
Coral Gables is now a bona fide cool dining destination, and we have Bulla to partly thank for it. The name is pronounced boo-yah, which is Spanish slang for the ability to create a stir. Indeed, everyone is talking about the chic gastrobar's relaxed ambiance and unique take on popular Spanish dishes. Bulla's impressive brunch has also been the source of chatter, and you'll understand why after sampling the cojonudo y cojonuda ($8). It consists of warm toast crowned with quail egg, chorizo, and Spanish blood sausage purée. Like almost everything here, it's deployed with the utmost care and boasts a delicate taste. Meanwhile, classic small plates from the dinner menu such as the croquetas de jamón and the albóndigas (veal and pork meatballs) are available during brunch as well ($9). Got a sweet tooth? There's French toast whose brioche is infused with the Spanish liquor orujo and enhanced with vanilla berry syrup and white chocolate chantilly ($12).

Reviews for this host's other properties
A house of Josip Helena and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is super comfortable and very well equipped. The downside is a fair distance from the center. I believe that we will be back!
A casa di Josip ed Helena siamo stati molto bene. La casa è super confortevole e molto ben attrezzata. L'unico neo è una discreta distanza dal centro. Credo proprio che ci torneremo!
A very comfortable apartment away from the city centre!! We only spent the one night, but it was one of the most comfortable. A quiet location, perfect if you had a car. Plenty of parking. The shower is the largest that I have ever seen and this apartment perfectly suited our family (of 4). Three bedrooms, so everyone has their space. The host was very helpful and lent us some butter. All in all a great stay.
A very nice and clean apartment, quiet area. The hostess was very friendly and helpful.
Ein sehr schönes und sauberes Apartment, ruhig gelegen. Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
The apartment we found as described and the owner very welcoming.
The location was convenient for us near the highway and at the same time calm.
We still have quite short and simple get breakfast, although it was not reserved.
All in all, recommended. Many Greetings.
Das Apartment fanden wir wie beschrieben und die Vermieter sehr herzlich.
Die Lage war für uns günstig in der Nähe der Autobahn und gleichzeitig ruhig.
Wir haben noch ganz kurzfristig und unkompliziert Frühstück bekommen, obwohl es nicht vorbestellt war.
Alles in allem empfehlenswert. Viele Grüße.

Pretty apartment in the center of Zagreb at a super affordable price! Highly recommended!
The apartment has one bedroom but a large living room for 3-4 people (but I would recommend a maximum of 3 people), a nice big bathroom and a bath / wc very useful.
The kitchen for 5-6 people is a bit 'small but still acceptable.
In 5 minutes walk you arrive at the central square in Zagreb, and nearby there is an underground car park quite cheap.
Appartamento grazioso in pieno centro di Zagabria ad un prezzo super conveniente!! Consigliatissimo!
L'appartamento ha una sola camera da letto matrimoniale ma un soggiorno grande per 3-4 persone (ma consiglio al massimo 3 persone); un bel bagno grande e un bagnetto/wc molto utile.
La cucina per 5-6 persone è un po' piccola ma comunque accettabile.
In 5 minuti a piedi si arriva alla piazza centrale di Zagabria e nelle vicinanze c'è un parcheggio sotterraneo abbastanza economico.
The stay at Josip & Helena met our expectations fully. Upon arrival, we were already expected and equal, like, very nicely furnished with all the necessary information during our stay. The apartment is centrally situated in the immediate vicinity of the main square, area attractions and nice bars. The journey by car presents no problem, you have to take only a small parking fee for purchase.
Der Aufenthalt bei Josip&Helena hat unsere Erwartungen voll und ganz erfüllt. Bei der Ankunft wurden wir bereits erwartet und gleich, wie auch während unseres Aufenthaltes, überaus freundlich mit allen benötigten informationen versorgt.

Die Anreise mit dem Auto stellt auch kein Problem dar, man muss nur eine kleine Parkgebühr in kauf nehmen.

Can you update injuries, such as Tyler Russell? "They expect everybody to play for the game. We're going to shut a lot of guys down this week so you won't see a lot of the older guys getting lots of reps out there. But I don't think there's anybody really a new injury that is expected to miss the bowl game."
It's become a routine getting ready for bowl games, how big is that? "Well it's huge. You know, I don't want to make it routine; it's still pretty special. We're playing in our second New Years Day bowl game in three years. And I expect to have another home-field advantage for us, we did a couple of years ago down there, we did last year in Nashville for the bowl game. And I expect our fans to give us that home field advantage again as we continue to build the program. Those are special opportunities to get to play New Years Day."
"For our guys, it is. I always think of a bowl as a reward. The better the season you have the better the reward you get at the end. And playing New Years Day in Florida is a pretty darn good reward for the great season we had."
Will you use the same bowl schedule as two years ago? "You know, we're hoping for the same result! But very, very similar. I think there are some little tweaks with the Bowl, in different events that they have. But we're going to us a very, very similar schedule that we used from a couple of years ago."
Gabe Jackson tweeted about his future, can you comment on that and how you help other juniors in the next month? "I talk to the guys. I mean the first ones we sit down with, we meet with the seniors to make sure they're organized for their plans for the future. And then the juniors. None of them have said hey, they want to come out early; I said OK, who wants to research it? A couple of them raised their hands."
"So we're going to fill out some paperwork to the NFL advisory board. What we do is we wait, we get the paperwork back, we sit down with the players and families and try to give them the best advice possible. It seems to have worked out. I mean look at John Banks, he and I spent a lot of time talking about that, had the opportunity to come back, and he's done something special. What a special night that was last night, I think he's the first Mississippi (native) player to win a major award in a long, long, long time, right? Maybe since Hugh Green in 1980, is that what it is?"
One of the first Mississippi first-team All-Americans in probably a decade? I'm sure you guys have all that research done up. But to be a Mississippi-born kid and get all those rewards is pretty special. So it worked out very well for him, and I think because of that, those situations, I think our guys kind of trust us and know that we're going to try to help them as much as possible to become successful."
Who is looking into early entry; Gabe, Nickoe Whitley? "Gabe, Nickoe I know are going to fill it out. I don't know if Tyler ended up doing it; Denico Autry and those guys, I don't know if they did or not. But those were the two I knew were going to do it. Rockey Felker does a lot helping them out when I'm on the road recruiting a lot this time of year. He was helping them get all the paperwork filed."
How has the recruiting feedback been? "It's been great. I think people see the direction we're headed in. I mean when you're playing in the traditional New Years Day bowl games two out of the last three years; and last year playing in another great bowl game, I think everyone sees the direction. I've always talked about you don't just come out of nowhere to build a championship season. It takes that stability, that consistent winning and building the foundation of a program for the future. And I think everybody sees that's really what we've done here the last several years."
When the players go to Jacksonville is it like training camp again? "That's what is great. No, we make the bowl game enjoyable. What you do, it's regular game-week for us, except take out the fact they don't have any school to do! So we don't do more at the bowl site than we would in a normal game week. And the reason for that is like I said it's a reward for our guys."
"The benefit is you get two bowl weeks. We get kind of a game-week before we leave, is how we've done it. Before we leave we'll have the Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday practice like we're getting ready to go kick it off. Then we do kind of the same thing when we get to the bowl site."
How much do you focus on Dak Prescott this week? "A lot on Dak. A lot. When people look at it, this is the opportunity. The twos get some reps in practice but this is the week the twos go to ones, and threes go to twos. Everybody gets bumped up and you take guys that have played a lot."
"We'll let seniors do individual but when we go team and scrimmage and all that stuff. I don't let the seniors do much of that and a lot of the starters will get minimal reps to keep them going. But really let them get healed, let their body get to where they need to be and get our team back playing the way I want to see us playing."
Do you entertain the idea of involving Prescott more in the offense? "We'll see. Tyler had a good year this year for me. I expect Tyler to have even a better year next year. I expect him to take it to another level. Him and Dak working together and pushing each other should be pretty exciting. With Dak, we'll have some packages and stuff ready for him but Dak has done a pretty good job for us this year with the reps that he's gotten. It's comforting. This is a great week right now to really let him to take another step forward in his career."
Do you expect more out of guys like Joe Morrow? "Yeah, that's what you're going to see. The two positions, when we take the seniors all out of the lineup, are going to be corner and wide receiver. That's where you really want to see a lot over the next week because when you take out those five senior wide receivers, obviously there's going to be a lot of holes in a lot of spots and a lot of opportunities to fill on the field. Bowl prep and spring is going to be huge for us at that position."
You were able to redshirt some talent on defense, like Richie and Beniquez Brown? "This is huge for them because we expect all of them to make significant contributions for us next season. The big thing for them this weekend is to get out of the red-shirt mode and get into competing for the starting job mode. There's a lot of guys on the defensive side of the ball, we will have a lot of new faces on defense next year in the lineup and we need to see that start today (Friday). The biggest one for those young guys is to understand our expectations and have 11 guys flying to the football at all times and make sure they understand that in the next week."
When you talk to Pat Fitzgerald is it ever about changing the cultures at Mississippi State and Northwestern? "It's a lot of everything when you talk to him. Different programs, in a certain way, but a lot of similarities. Programs that don't have that long-standing, rich tradition in football that have struggled through different times. Look at what you need to do, what foundation you need to build as far as your players. Every program is different. Even though I see a lot of similarities in our programs, there's a lot of difference in the type of kids. But I know their kids have tremendous, tremendous pride playing for that team and playing for him and that program and their university."
"It's just the same as our kids do. We have a lot of Mississippi kids on our team that take a lot of pride in representing the state of Mississippi every time they step out on the field. Those things help but everything from when are you practicing. The funny thing is, I know they practice in the mornings but they're in a quarter system. I look at the schedule. Hey, how do you practice in the morning? What are you doing in the afternoon? What days do you practice in the spring? How are you running the offseason lifting? What days are you doing agilities and competitive drills, and weight lifting? What new motivation techniques are you using? How do you let kids be kids? How do you develop leadership on your team? Those are all the things we discuss a lot."
How was the experience of Banks winning the Thorpe Award? "It's unbelievable. As a coach, we do this. You want to see and you want to help young people develop them to be the best they can in life. And see them have their dreams come true. Here is a young man from Maben, Mississippi that believed in our program, believed in what we were doing right here, bought in 100% in everything he does."
"And here he is First Team All-American, Thorpe Award as the top defensive back in all of the country. One of the great players in Mississippi State history. I think that's pretty special. Just to be there, to be with him and a part of it knowing all that he has went through before he got here and all that he has gone through while he's been here to become the best that he can be is pretty special."
When practices are open what are players fans should watch for? "A lot of the freshman. We will do some experiments. Not as many this year. Christian Holmes, I think I am going to try him out at tight end, fullback, our motion back a little bit. He is the only main one right now look to be moving around. A lot of the freshman that have some talent are going to have that opportunity to get out there on the field. Some of the younger offensive lineman. I want to see really those young running backs jump up onto the scene. We're going to hand them the ball, time after time at practice and see them respond. The defensive side of the ball it's all those freshman. There is some solid defensive players that we are expecting some big things out of in the future."
How does it feel to be fifth-longest-tenured coach in the SEC? "Pretty sweet isn't it? How about that, I'm only 40?"
"It shows the stability we have here and we are building here in the future. You look at the four ahead, two of them played in the SEC Championship, one is right there on their heels all season and the other one, (Steve) Spurrier, is one of the greatest coaches in SEC history.

Civil registration refers to the vital records made by the government. These include birth, marriage, and death records. Civil registration records (Actas del Registro Civil) are an excellent source for accurate information on names, and dates and places of births, marriages, and deaths.
In most of the municipalities of Peru, civil authorities began registering births in 1886, marriages in 1886, and deaths in 1857. The 1892 Peruvian Civil Law made civil registration mandatory. In the Lima municipal archives, there are death registers for 1857–1867, and birth, marriage, and death registers of Peruvians born abroad for 1886–1911. By 1895, the archives included almost all individuals who lived in Peru. Records of naturalization, adoption, and legitimacy and recognition of children are included in the early birth records. From 1936, these records are included as part of the Personal Register. Because civil registration covers the entire population and generally provides more information than church records, civil registration records are one of the most important sources for genealogical research in Peru. Due to political situations, civil registration for some municipalities may have begun after 1886. Civil registration records may also be the only source of information about non-Catholic people.
For birth, death, and marriage records before 1886, see Peru Church Records.
General Historical Background
In 1857 the government of Peru passed a law that required civil registration, but it was soon discontinued, except for the requirement to keep death records. In 1892, the government again recognized the need for accurate vital records. Civil registration required the people to report all births, marriages, and deaths to a civil registrar in each municipality. Civil registration began in 1886 in almost all of Peru. Today, Peru's borders include areas that were not part of Peru in 1886. For these areas, the beginning of civil registration varies. For example, the department of Tacna, which was part of Chile from 1880 to 1929, began registration in 1884 for births and 1885 for marriages and deaths. Duplicates of municipal vital records are at the Supreme Court of Justice of the Republic (Corte Superior de Justicia de la República) in Lima. Information Recorded in Civil Registers The most important civil records for genealogical research are birth, marriage, and death registers. There are also registers of captives for 1905–1926. These are registers of births to Peruvian families in the department of Tacna and the province of Tarapaca (Chile), which were under the jurisdiction of the Chilean government. From 1936 to the present, personal civil registers include naturalization, adoption, legitimization of children, declaration of mental competence, declarations of deaths not otherwise registered, marriage annulments, and divorces. Births, marriages, and deaths were written in the civil registration records as they occurred and thus are arranged chronologically. Some records are indexed to help you find your ancestor.
Births (Nacimientos)
Birth registers give the document number, registration date, name, gender, and date and place of birth. Early birth records also include naturalization papers, adoptions, legitimizations of children, and acknowledgments of paternity. Separate books were kept for naturalization from 1912–1936.
Birth records may include family information, such as the parents' ages, birthplaces, residences, nationalities, marital status, professions, and the number of other children born to the mother. The records may also give similar information about the informant, who may be a relative, and the grandparents. Corrections to a birth record were usually added as a marginal note.

Peru Baptisms (FamilySearch Historical Records)
Marriages (Casamientos)
Peruvian law requires marriages to be recorded in civil records prior to a church marriage. Marriage registers give the marriage date and the couple's names, ages, places of residence, and, sometimes, places of birth. These records also include the names of the parents and witnesses and information about the witnesses. Marriage information (Información matrimonial) in Peru from 1900 to the present includes certificates of birth, baptism, good conduct, marriageability, and a medical certificate and residence.
Early civil marriage records may give more information than church records. Early entries usually included the names and ages of the bride and groom and the marriage date and place. Later entries include the couple's occupations, civil status, residences, and birthplaces. Some records also have the names of the parents and grandparents.
Most couples were also married in a church wedding. If possible, search both the civil registration and church records of marriage. If you believe a marriage took place but cannot find a civil record of the marriage, search the church marriage information records or banns.

Peru Marriages (FamilySearch Historical Records)
Deaths (Defunciones)
Death records are especially helpful because in addition to death and burial information, they provide important information about a person's birth, spouse, and parents. Civil death records often exist for individuals for whom there are no birth or marriage records. Death records were usually registered within a few days of the death, in the town or city where the person died.
Early death records give the name, date, and place of death. Later death registers usually include the deceased's age or date of birth (and sometimes the birthplace), residence or street address, occupation, cause of death, and burial information. These records also include the name of the informant (who is often a relative), spouse, and parents. The information in death records about the deceased's birth and parents may be inaccurate since the informant may not have had complete information.

Peru Deaths (FamilySearch Historical Records)
Locating Civil Registration Records
Civil registration records are kept at the local civil registration office (Oficina del Registro Civil) in each municipality. You must determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. A civil registration district may include several towns or be a small section of a large city. You may need to use gazetteers and other geographic references to identify the place your ancestor lived and the civil registration office that served it (see Peru Gazetteers). In addition to the town, you need to know an approximate year in which the birth, marriage, divorce, or death occurred.
The specific holdings of the Family History Library are listed in the Family History Library Catalog. To find civil registration records in the Family History Library, search in the "Locality" section of the library's catalog under:
The library's collection continues to grow as new records are microfilmed and added to the collection from numerous sources. Don't give up if records are not yet available. Check the catalog later for the records you need.
Locating Records Not at the Family History Library
Birth, marriage, divorce, and death records may be found by contacting or visiting local civil registration offices in Peru. Peru also has duplicates of civil registration records in the Supreme Court of Justice (Corte Superior de Justicia) in Lima. Civil registration records in Peru are available by writing to the municipality or province where the record was created. After deciding who has jurisdiction over the records for the time period you need, write a brief request to the municipal civil registration office. When writing to an archive for civil records include:
- The full name and gender of the person sought.
- The names of the parents, if known.
- The approximate date and place of the event you are requesting information about.
- Your relationship to the person.
- The reason for the request (family history, medical, and so on).
- A request for a photocopy of the complete original record.
- A request for information about how to best send the search fee, if any.
- An International Reply Coupon, available from your local post office.
Civil officials will usually answer correspondence in Spanish. If your request is unsuccessful, write for duplicate records that may have been sent to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Republic (Corte Superior de Justicia de la República). The address is included in the "Archives and Libraries" section of this guide. If you visit the civil registration office to request a document, they will perform a search for a fee. Each municipality charges its own price. Contact the civil registration office to learn the cost of searches and of copies of certificates.

The first question:
Osho,Can you talk about facing the death of each moment and letting go?
Death is already happening. Whether you face it or not, whether you look at it or not, it is already there.
It is just like breathing. When a child is born he inhales, he breathes in for the first time. That is the beginning of life. And when one day he becomes old, dies, he will exhale.
Death always happens with exhalation and birth with inhalation. But exhalation and inhalation are happening continuously: with each inhalation you are born, with each exhalation you die.
So the first thing to understand is that death is not somewhere in the future waiting for you, as it has always been pictured. It is part of life, it is an ongoing process - not in the future; here, now. Life and death are two aspects of existence, simultaneously happening together.
Ordinarily, you have been taught to think of death as being against life. Death is not against life. Life is not possible without death, death is the very ground on which life exists. Death and life are like two wings: the bird cannot fly with one wing, and the being cannot be without death. So the first thing is a clear understanding of what we mean by death.
Death is an absolutely necessary process for life to be. It is not the enemy, it is the friend, and it is not there somewhere in the future, it is here, now. It is not going to happen, it has always been happening. Since you have been here it has been with you. With each exhalation it happens - a little death, a small death - but because of fear we have put it in the future.
The mind always tries to avoid things which it cannot comprehend, and death is one of the most incomprehensible mysteries. There are only three mysteries: life, death and love. And these three are all beyond mind.
So mind takes life for granted, then there is no need to inquire.That is a way of avoiding: you never think, you never meditate on life; you have simply accepted it, taken it for granted.
It is a tremendous mystery. You are alive, but don't think that you have known life.

Tardive Dyskinesia
What is tardive dyskinesia?
Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological disorder caused by the long-term use of neuroleptic drugs, or anti-psychotic medications. Neuroleptic drugs are generally prescribed for psychiatric disorders, as well as for some gastrointestinal and neurological disorders. The prevalence of tardive dyskinesia is estimated to be 10 to 20 percent of individuals treated with anti-psychotic medications. The elderly are more susceptible to persistent and irreversible tardive dyskinesia than younger people.
Repetitive and involuntary movements characterize tardive dyskinesia. Features of the disorder may include grimacing, tongue protrusion, lip smacking, puckering and pursing, and rapid eye blinking. Rapid movements of the arms, legs, and trunk may also occur. Approximately 60 to 70 percent of the cases are mild, with about 3 percent being extremely severe. Severe cases may involve problems such as difficulty swallowing, speech interference, cosmetic disfiguration, and respiratory trouble.
How is it treated?
There is no standard treatment for tardive dyskinesia. In many cases the medication will be adjusted to use the lowest possible dose, or discontinued if at all possible. Stopping the medication is a gradual process, lowering the doses 10 to 25 percent every one to three months. Replacing the neuroleptic drug with other medications may help some patients. Other drugs such as benzodiazepines, adrenergic antagonists, and dopamine agonists may also be beneficial. Symptoms of tardive dyskinesia may remain even after the medication is stopped. However, with careful management, some symptoms may improve or disappear with time.
