Getting the proper latch can make or break your breastfeeding experience. Our step-by-step guide will help you do it right.
3 Steps to Getting the Best Latch
3 Steps to Getting the Best Latch
First things first: Get comfortable.
Sit down and place a firm pillow on your lap; you can use a pillow designed specifically for nursing or a regular pillow.
Lay your baby on his side, with the front of his body facing you; his head, shoulders and hips should be in a straight line and his mouth should be level with, and directly in front of, your nipple. If he is too low, stack another pillow on your lap. You want the baby to come to your breast, rather than leaning over to bring your breast to him.
Step 1:
Step 1:
Determine which breast you'll be feeding from and hold your baby using your arm on the opposite side of your body.
Using the hand on the same side as the chosen breast, place your fingers under your breast, your thumb along the side, and lift it up and forward (much like the effect of a push-up bra).
With your opposite arm, pull your baby close to you, tilt his head back slightly and tickle his lips with your nipple until he opens his mouth wide.
Step 2:
Step 2:
Help your baby get as much of your breast as possible into his mouth by placing his lower jaw on first, well below the nipple.
Step 3:
Step 3:
Tilt his head forward placing his upper jaw deeply onto your breast; the goal is to get your nipple as far back into his mouth as possible. Make sure he takes the entire nipple and as much of the areola as he can into his mouth.
Keep your fingers under your breast to help your baby stay latched on correctly; if your arm starts to get tired, prop it up with an extra pillow.

Three Common Problems
Three Common Problems
If nursing isn't working for you or your baby, don't fret. Here are three common newbie challenges, and how to fix 'em:
1. Painful nursing: Continuous pain throughout the feeding is the sign of a bad latch. It may hurt initially when your baby latches on, but then the pain should quickly subside. If nursing hurts, first break the suction by placing your finger in between your baby's lips and your skin, then gently remove your baby from your breast and try for a better latch.
2. A fussy baby: If the baby keeps pulling off and on, or wiggling around, he's probably not comfortable. Check that he is on his side, with his shoulders aligned with his hips, and prop him up with an extra pillow if necessary. If he's still fussy, he may need to be burped.
3. Back pain: If you're feeling back pain, you're likely leaning forward. Sit up straight and reposition your baby so he is level with your breast. You want the baby to come to your breast, rather than leaning over to bring your breast to him. Using a small stool under your feet to lift your knees higher than your hips will also help you sit tall and take the pressure off your lower back.

Tenant left within fixed period on 12 month AST
Tenant signed up for 12 month AST from 29/9/17 to 28/9/18 - currently 1 month in arrears. Has moved to a new flat for 'health reasons' and has said will not pay any more rent and if I want any more rent I should take her to court. Keys have been left in the flat. Got some RLA advice today that I should get to sign a letter with the meter readings and that I was taking possession of the keys to facilitate viewings. The tenant would not sign anything and said she could not afford 2 rents and invited me again to take her to court. Deposit of 1 months rent registered with Letting Agent who is now in process of recovering for 'rent arrears'. Have re-marketed flat and said if we find a new tenant then they will take over her responsibility for rent and bills but she just keeps telling me to take her to court and she won't be paying another penny. I guess I need to write to her as I have a forwarding address but what should I say in the letter?

Vivek Mahbubani, Indian Speaking Cantonese
A great Indian speaking Cantonese
A funniest person. I just love him!
Corrina Speaks Cantonese
Corinna Chamberlain (陳明恩), a a Hong Kong born white girl,daughter of Australian mother and New Zealand father , has become more than a 50% Hong Kong Native.
Sing and speak like a Hong Kong native:
The beauty of Corrinna:
She can do it, you can speak Cantonese well too.
More about her? Cantonese White Girl Corina (in Wiki)
Learn Cantonese with Fun (1)
Learning Cantonese can be lots of fun and romance.
When I saw this video on Youtube, I can't help thinking of putting it here to share with you and teach you how to propose to a girl like Jacky Cheung,
At 0:26, he said, "求求你" means "I'm begging you." Now you know to beg/ask/request someone to marry you in Cantonese.
At 0:29, he said, "请姑娘你听埋佢我呢句" = Please, young girl, you listen to me to finish this sentence (Please let me finish my sentence.)
Note that the subtitle in the video is Mandarin translation, not Cantonese. That's why there's difference.
At 0:50 "字其实只得三个" = the words are only three characters
1:00 我爱你 = I love you! Note: 妳 = 你 nei2, but it is used for female.
Ho Kwok Wing – Speaking Cantonese – 河國榮
我系河国荣. 我系一个澳洲鬼佬.
ngo5 hai6 ho4 gwok3 wing3. ngo5 hai6 jat1 go3 ou3 zau1 gwai2 lou2.
ngo5 = I/me; hai6 = am/is/are/to be; ho4 = river(surname here)
gwok3 = country; wing3 = glory; jat1 go3 = one (person);
ou3 zau1 = Australia;
gwai2 lou2 = a humorous way to call "foreigner(s)", it does not really mean literately "ghost men". Even those pretty Cantonese ladies who married "gwai2 lou2″, they say "ngo5 lou2 gung1 hai6 gwai2 lou2 我老公系鬼佬 (my husband is a (white)foreigner. ) And their husbands willingly call themselves "ngo5 hai6 gwai2 lou2 我系鬼佬". That's why Ho Kwo Wing called himself "gwai2 ou2″ here.
gwai2 can also be used as an adverb: e.g. gwai2 gam2 lek1(鬼咁叻) means very very smart.
So gwai2 also means genius/spirit (精灵), not "devil" or "ghost"
He said I'm a foreigner from Australia.
In our Cantonese dictionary, "gwai2 lou2″ is a good word while "Chinaman" is a bad word.
Yes, Kwo Wing, we all love you, (gwai2 lou2)!

For sure everyone of us would rather if everything can just be operated automatically like you only set this and that and that will go on until you will set again otherwise just like an alarm clock for example. With an alarm clock in your phone, you only need to set it once and it will go off on the same time according to your set schedule. But then again, though there are things that are already in this situation, still this is just a wishful thinking. You might think that this is an impossible dream in fact.
However, there is a great possibility that this might be realized and in fact, it seems that the odds are even on its side. Yes and this is the Internet of Things (IoT). What is IOT? This is a system where everything can be automated like you don't need to set your tv every time you want to watch it, you don't need to always schedule orders for your business as everything will just be renewed unless you will reset them. In short, IOT is the process where all the IP devices will just work on their own without the interventions of humans like the alarm clocks and many other devices that are already in this state as of now.
Check out below how IOT works:
- With IOT system, everything can be turned off no matter where you are as long as there is an internet connection. Like for example if you forgot to turn off your air conditioning system, then you can just turn that off in your office and everything else that is part of the IOT of course. This means as well that risks will be avoided and you can even save in the process. You can save money in the sense that you can right away turn off electrical things wherever you are and without using any gas or money for commuting as you can just do the operation in your own desk.
- Sensors will also be everywhere if the full IOT system will be realized. When this will push through indeed, you will then know who comes in and out of your home thus you can monitor even if you are not around and only the help is left. At the same time, you can also detect if there are water leaks or some other threats that might endanger the integrity of your home. In short, while you will be in your office, you will have peace of mind as you exactly know that your home is in a perfect condition as there are no notifications. This will be the time when the adage, new news is good news will be applied.
Yes, it will be a whole new world indeed when IOT will be realized. Everything will be easy and will be affected for the better. And to think that the odds are showing positive signals that IOT indeed might be realized.
Author Bio – Jean Piere is an IOT advocate and at the same time, an IT expert. He believes that by just observing the internet status right now, IOT is most likely to be realized.

Low winter snowpack combined with a drier-than-usual spring and rapid snowmelt will likely translate into critically low water supplies across parts of Oregon heading into summer, according to the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The NRCS released its June basin report for Oregon, and the outlook is bleak, especially in southern and eastern Oregon. Gov. Kate Brown has already declared a drought emergency in Klamath, Grant, Harney and Lake counties, while the U.S. Drought Monitor shows nearly the entire state in some level of drought, from "abnormally dry" to "severe drought."
Unusually warm weather in May led to rapid melting of already limited snowpack, said Scott Oviatt, snow survey supervisor and hydrologist for the NRCS. Of 81 real-time snow monitoring stations, only five still have snow as of June 1.
Snowpack is critical for water management, since it acts as a natural reservoir gradually replenishing streams into spring and summer. However, most of Oregon's snowpack peaked around 70 percent of normal and melted away quickly over the last month.
Snow has almost completely disappeared statewide, except for basins in the far northeast corner of Oregon, which are still clinging to 27 percent of normal levels. Many sites melted out one to two weeks ahead of schedule, and several higher elevation sites had snow melting up to 2 1/2 times faster than usual.
Streams in the drought-stricken Klamath, Harney, Goose Lake and John Day basins are projected to run just 26-82 percent of normal levels through September. Forecasts improve closer to the Columbia River and west of the Cascades, which received closer to normal snowpack.
The Umatilla, Walla Walla and Grande Ronde rivers should experience near-average stream flows in northeast Oregon. The Willamette Basin, home to more than 1 million acres of farmland, should see streams flows ranging from 48 to 87 percent of normal, along with the Hood, Sandy and Upper Deschutes basins.
In southwest Oregon, forecasters anticipate the Rogue and Umpqua rivers will be slightly lower, at 47 to 81 percent of average.
Reservoirs remain a bright spot in this year's water outlook. Most of the state's major reservoirs are holding 70 to 110 percent volume, with the Umatilla, Walla Walla and Willow basin reservoirs faring best at 95 to 111 percent full.
The NRCS is advising irrigators to plan accordingly for water shortages, "especially in southern and southeastern Oregon where the snowpack was the lowest this season."

Yesterday turned into one of those totally unexpected great days. The kind where everything seems to go right.
The very best thing was my physical therapy. Over the last few weeks, I've felt that something about my recovery turned a corner; the walking is better; the swelling is less; I feel more and more like myself at every juncture. When I went in yesterday, I was very pleased to be seeing my regular therapist, Christine, again (we'd both been on vacations for the last couple of weeks and so missed one another).
She did some testing with ankle raises and told me I'm at about 70 percent right now. At 80 percent, I get to start incorporating running into my routine. While I didn't comment on it, I did make a mental note that, with this number, I probably wasn't going to get to run at the end of the month as I'd hoped.
Physical Therapy Exercises
Oh, well; I set that aside as Christine briskly moved onto other new things. She had me bump up my speeds on the treadmill during my side-to-side and backward walking…which meant I had to incorporate a bit of hopping into the motion. Now, it may seem a small thing, but it's been quite a while (six months) since I've been "airborne" in any capacity. Hopping says progress; you can't run without being airborne. This was simply thrilling! So I had a new speed PR on the treadmill…I've met my max speed on the Newton walking forward (3.8), and I've gone beyond side-to-side (from a 1.8 to 2.0) and backwards (from 2.0 to 2.4) all at full body weight. I actually worked up a little sweat AND breathed a bit hard — nirvana! I was grinning like a total loon.
This alone would've made the day a good one. But there was more to come.
Trying Out The Reformer
Christine had me get on a piece of equipment called "the Reformer" — nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! — which would allow me to essentially jump from a prone position, relieving my ankle of some 50 pounds of body weight. First, I jumped with both feet in order to get the motion down. It was like being a kid on a trampoline or in a jump-up. So fun! I was laughing and having a blast.
Next, she had me jump on the good leg only, my right one. Piece of cake! And then it was time to jump with only the bad one, my left ankle. And it was funny; there was this momentary "oh shit" reflex. It was hard to take the first jump. Total fear factor (irrational, I know, but that doesn't make the fear any less real) that something would go horribly wrong, that my ankle would collapse, that arrows of pain would shoot up my leg, that sort of thing. I said as much to Christine, who told me that fear was normal and expected and that's why we were doing it here first…just try.
So I jumped.
It's hard to do justice to the feeling of pure joy that washed over me when it was just fine. Nothing hurt. Nothing was screwed up. It just felt a bit stiff and unwieldy, kind of like it needed to "wake up" and then it was fine. It was bliss. It was heaven. I did not want to stop jumping.
There were other new, challenging things to do but that was the big break-through. It felt like I'd been given a big gift, and I hope I accurately conveyed to Christine just what a wonderful moment that was for me.
The rest of the day was filled with other fantastic things. I went by the French Place house and found that they had started work on the outside trellis, which was a total surprise. My hubby got back from his trip and joined me there, and we wound up having an unexpected late lunch date at El Chile, one of our favorite places. That evening, we had a family get-together at the house for dinner (everybody but the middle child, that is, who is still working at camp). And all of the good things for the rest of the day were surrounded in this wonderful glowing aura left over from PT.
One of the best days I've had in a long, long time.

Over the past ten years, Exeter has invested in technologies and approaches to boost the dealer and customer knowledge. This spot is the most unprofessional spot I've worked for don't let the look fool you because it fooled me. The policy is per supervisor. Jason Grubb was appointed chief executive of Exeter in February, ending an effort to fill that position. Loveless and his wife in January 2012 got an Exeter loan to get a 2006 Buick Rendezvous from Victory Nissan in Dickson, Tennessee.
Soon after embarking on a broad technology search to streamline its processes, Exeter chose ACI's complete and integrated electronic bill payment solution , which delivers the organization loan servicing simplicity and lower expense debit card payments.

Rihanna Teases March 26 Release
Rihanna took to Instagram today to possibly tease the release of her latest track. Thanks to its #R8, #BBHMM and #March26 hashtags, the post — which is highlighted by the cover art for the single — suggests that the track, unlike her Home cuts, is the latest single from her upcoming eighth LP and will drop this Thursday. Complex also points out that the braille on the left-hand side of the cover translates to "Bitch Better Have My Money" — which makes sense given the aforementioned hashtags. Regardless, expect something from RiRi tomorrow, March 26.

Mixmag Live pres. Kölsch on Friday 26th May 2017
Rune Reilly Kölsch has been active in the music world since the early 2000s and has consistently stunned with his expansive, emotive productions. The half-German, half-Irish artist grew up in a Danish hippie commune, and pours the wide-ranging experiences and influences from his life into his vibrant output. For dance music that's drenched with feeling, few can hold a torch to Kölsch's distinctive style.
His DJ sets are an extension of this immersive approach, deftly combining surging, atmospheric synth lines with rock-solid percussive hits and bold bass layers. Expect transcendent dancefloor experiences when Kölsch helms the booth.
This summer he'll be touring across Europe and continue to be one of Ibiza's brightest stars. Before the White Isle madness kicks off, don't miss the chance to catch him at one of Birmingham's leading nightspots the Rainbow Venues on May 26.

The first book they sent me is The Bully and the Shrimp by Catherine Allison. It's about a boy name Noah Shrimpton. He's small for his age. He moves to a new school and the class bully starts picking on him. He's afraid to tell anyone so he uses his journal to draw and expresses himself. At the end of the book he gains confidence and learns to stand up for himself.
We enjoyed reading this book. My kids liked the illustration specially Noah's journal. He draws dinosaurs and draws himself as superhero. I really like that this book teaches kids how to handle bullying. It teaches them the importance of telling someone when they are being bullied and to speak up. October is National Bullying Prevention Month so this books was a perfect book to read.
We were also sent The Wonderfully Wicked Witches - Create your own coven of witches. The box comes with a book that shows you step-by-step instructions on how to make 8 witches. It also contains felt, thread, stuffing, and buttons to make your first witch.
We had a lot of fun creating our first witch. My girls are still too young to sew so I did that part. But they were able to help me trace, cut and do the stuffing. The instructions were pretty easy to follow. It took us about an hour doing this craft.
Parragon is giving my readers the same books I reviewed.

It comes after a phrase that says, "If people say bad things about you, you must be doing something good !!" :)
Please Check GURUTALK in the site. Some powerful words there.
I wonder if Maniratnam will come back to Tamil for making movies. I wish he does. I can give a open call-sheet. if he wants :)
Tamil audience wouldnt give Maniratnam a super-hit, as much as they give Perarasu. Maniratnam, even though claims himself as a Masala director, is branded as an art-film maker. I wonder why ! If we had enough talent with great imaginations, then Maniratnam would have been an ordinary director.
Hmm.. when a director tells Sathyaraj, "Andha kuzhandhayeee neengadhaan saar !", onnum panna mudiyaadhu !

WEARING: Melissa Araujo Blazer, American Apparel Crop Top, Vintage Leather pants, Club Monaco Shoes and Calvin Klein Clutch.
Opposites attract. My boy and I have been together against all the odds of it working out. We are complete opposites, in that I do not exaggerate. If you know either of us, you will know that it is an understatement to say that we think, act and are just different. But, somehow this is the best for me. It was his birthday this past weekend, filled with scotch, wine, beers and champagne - you can guess who drank what.

3/30/08- 100 Years Ago... Today
"Monday Morning.
Went to bed at 12:30 and was asleep in a few minutes. Slept soundly until called at 3:45. Feel refreshed and calm. I am surprised that I can look at this matter so calmly. Had communion for the first time. I feel that I am fully prepared to go and meet Jesus. I shall watch for the others.
Was so glad when "Mac" told me that Paul had taken a stand for Christ. This makes me happier than anything else could have done. May the rest be comforted as I have been in these last moments.
Had a very nice little breakfast and appreciate everyone's kindness. They have all been so kind and courteous. I am very grateful to each one. Good morning All.
P.S. If it isn't any extra expense or too much trouble please have "Taps" played at the last.
'Gone to be with Jesus.'
The following passage contained the last words that were written one hundred years ago today by Chester Ellsworth Gillette. He finished the entry just ten minutes before two guards arrived at his cell on Death Row at Auburn State Prison to lead him to the chamber that held the electric chair where he paid the ultimate price for the murder of Grace Brown nearly two years earlier.
Those words can still be read today in the recently published book, "The Prison Diary and Letters of Chester Gillette" by Craig Brandon and Jack Sherman. The diary book basically told the story of Chester's redemption as he acknowledged the pain he caused his family and friends because of his actions and begged for a chance to repay them for everything that they did for him.
It also describes how Chester was able to accept his fate so calmly, even though he remained blindly confident that some miraculous legal act would come into play and he would be granted a new trial and released. Even when he walked into the chamber and sat down in the chair, he was able to accept his fate with dignity.
Unlike the centennial commemorating Grace's death in 2006, the question here is, how do you commemorate an execution, even if is the execution of a murderer whose actions spawned a classic novel, two movies, and an opera? That's probably one question that is very hard to answer. Hopefully, he may finally have found the peace he was looking for.

I came into a small stash of cigars that I don't have any room for and I have been told I can sell for a fair price.
These robustos come 20 in a bundle for $100 (prices go up in March) and are 5X50. Flavor profile is slight notes of white pepper, black pepper, touch of leather with a medium finish. Good draw, good construction.
I don't know much about the blends other than the tobacco is aged 3-5 years and they're not crap. I've smoked a few to test quality, cause hey, who isn't up for a free cigar?
Fill out the form below if you're interested on having something you can smoke for about 45 minutes to maybe an hour, that's got good flavor and solid construction.

You really do need to have mommy friends- either online or in person. No one else is ever going to understand what sleep deprivation and sick children really mean. Not even a dad. We have to be there for each other and keep each other strong. Don't ever underestimate that mommy friend. Look around at your local playgrounds, at the ball parks, at the school, and at your church. You will find them. Be intentional about it. Don't stalk them but keep trying. Make sure that you put an effort into and that they see you really want to be friends. Especially if you are and an introvert like me. You have to come out of that shell. It will be okay even if you are rejected you will find someone. In the famous words of Dori- "Just keep swimming". There are a lot of mommies out there and you will find your match I promise.

US: 2 different objects seen over Phoenix, says witness
Many residents around Arizona have reported seeing a "glowing object" fly across the night sky Wednesday.
Some experts believe it was either a fireball or a bright meteor. We started getting reports of the object around 7:45 p.m.
Our multimedia journalist Brien McElhatten captured two photos when he saw a glowing orange light before an object started streaking across the sky.
One photo shows how the glowing light looked in Chandler. The other image was taken as McElhatten kept the shutter open to show the object streaking across the sky.
"It had a big old tail, and it was so bright. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing," Valley resident Holly Pickard told ABC15.
Law enforcement in the Valley also saw the object.
"We received four calls (total) regarding the light in the sky," a Phoenix Police spokesman told ABC15. "Our air unit, myself, and other officers also observed it as well. We all made our wishes and went back to work."
A spokesman with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said their aviation unit did confirm seeing the meteor over Deer Valley Airport, but there haven't been any reports of an impact site.
Many of our viewers are also sounding off about it on the ABC15 Facebook page.
Sharon Roesch wrote, "It was huge and incredible- we were driving and too much in shock.
Althea Keegan wrote, "It had a green tail and burned out just as I had my camera ready to snap a picture."
The ABC15 newsroom confirmed that there have been similar reports in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.

If you are new to TTC (trying to conceive), you are probably reading everything you can get your hands on to give yourself the best chance of becoming pregnant. You may have even started using ovulation kits and BBT temping each morning to try and nail down the most fertile days of your cycle.
Of all the TTC tricks though, I think that checking your cervical mucus is sometimes the most intimidating and/or confusing. Some women are blessed with very predicable mucus that is plentiful and easy to decipher. Others have bodies' that don't produce much mucus and have a hard time telling the difference between their fertile and infertile mucus. It is definitely an ovulation indicator that doesn't work for everyone.
However, if you have been wanting to start keeping track of your cervical mucus but didn't know how to start, the following video may be a great resource. The video explains the basic changes in your mucus throughout your cycle and how to go about checking your mucus. In addition, she shows pictures of her fertile, infertile and transitional mucus.
Be warned, the presentation is pretty dry. But it is very informative and a great introduction to TTC and cervical mucus.
Hope you enjoy the video!
Nice Posting!! Keep it up!!Main problem faced by women trying to conceive. It is necessary to know the RIGHT Day, RIGHT Time and RIGHT Way for conception…Now you can plan your pregnancy and you can choose your date and time of pregnancy as you like with Ovulation Kit.

I'm not suggesting it for the sake of exploration or favouritism, and it isn't infatuation to want the games to branch out and give us something beyond the usual 'get eight badges and defeat the league, defeating bad guys on your day off' story. I'm not tired of that formula, but wanting something more is never an infatuation. Those that want for the sake of wanting are those with the infatuation. They just want a region with prettier graphics. I'm saying to go beyond what we know with the formula to mix it up, actually making it worth your time to go between regions - maybe not even with the full region accessible, but only that which is needed for the story progression - with a story that equally focuses on both while at the same time making both important.JenovaPX wrote:No, not really. Spreading a story between two regions adds nothing to a game, particularly in such a shoehorned manner as just getting on an aeroplane. I seriously still don't get this infatuation people have with having multiple regions, it just adds playtime to the games, particularly in two regions with gooseberry fool all to do with each other.
It's not just a case of wanting a region to appear again in my eyes. It's getting something more by adding something else to the mix.


text: Press release | 2011-11-29 | 15:00 PM Hamburg and Vattenfall partners in electricity distribution and district heating Vattenfall and the City of Hamburg have agreed to operate the electricity distribution and district heating in Hamburg as partners. The City of Hamburg intends to acquire 25.1 per cent of Vattenfall's electricity distribution and district heating networks in Hamburg. Vattenfall will retain the operational management of the networks. "With this partnership, Hamburg and Vattenfall make a positive contribution to the further development of the German energy industry at a time of radical policy change", said Tuomo Hatakka, Head of Business Division Production and Vattenfall's Country Manager Germany. The two businesses have been valued by independent auditors at about EUR 1.9 billion. The purchase price for the 25.1 per cent shares in the electricity distribution and the district heating businesses amounts to EUR 463.1 million, of which EUR 138.1 million pertains to electricity distribution and EUR 325.0 million to district heating. Payment is expected to be effected during 2012. Based on the respective purchase price, the City will receive a guaranteed annual dividend of 4.2 per cent for the electricity distribution network and 4.5 per cent for the heat business. The transaction is subject to approval by the Hamburg Parliament. The cooperation between the City of Hamburg and Vattenfall includes an "energy concept" on future projects of both parties. Its key element is the development of an innovative power plant concept in the Hamburg metropolitan region based on a highly efficient combined cycle plant with state-of-the-art storage technology that allows surplus wind power to be stored as heat. Further measures involve the development of e-mobility and "smart grids". The total investment volume of all the measures included in the agreement amounts to approximately EUR 1.5 billion over the next five years. Vattenfall discloses the information provided herein pursuant to the Swedish Securities Market Act. For further information, please contact: Stefan Kleimeier, Press officer Hamburg +49 152 546 26977 From Vattenfall's Press Office, telephone: +46 8 739 50 10, firstname.lastname@example.com Download press release (PDF 80 kB) Visit Newsroom

Rilke, in his third sonnet to Orpheus, argues against the notion that the poetic education is born of the discovery and cultivation of one's poetic voice. His claim that real poetry is born of listening asks the question to whom or to what? In this workshop we'll read and consider poems that evoke poetic voices beyond the personal and the singular and practice the sort of careful listening Rilke and others advocate: the sort of listening that leads to what Lorca calls duende. What Etheridge Knight calls belly and what others call the tradition of the Blue Flower. This listening will act as impetus for the poems you will write as part of the workshop, poems that mingle your own sensibility with the voices traveling through you.

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte reportedly revealed at weekend that the local ruling party has already endorsed Barangay Captain Carmelo Clarion for the post of city councilor representing the Third District, taking over the vacated seat of Vice Mayor Bernard Al-ag. Clarion is the incumbent barangay captain of Barangay Mulig in Toril District. Last January, Al-ag vacated his seat in the City Council when he succeeded resigned vice mayor Paolo Duterte. Mayor Sara said the endorsement of Clarion by the Hugpong Sa Tawong Lungsod local party is for the approval of President Duterte.

text: Unlike old-school textbooks that portrayed the Age of Exploration as advanced European civilizations exploring primitive worlds, Aronson and Glenn take a global view, seeing 1492 as the pivotal date in human history—"the first encounter between advanced civilizations that had developed an ocean apart." Though the Americas suffered from disease, malnourishment and abuse and lost as much as 90 percent of their population, the long-term effect of this contact between societies was "the beginning of the modern age of worldwide connection," a new global world, in which foods, ideas, religions and fashions were exchanged. The text is full of fascinating ideas and speculations and is enlivened by maps, engravings, prints, photographs and other illustrations. Readers with some amount of existing knowledge of the period will benefit most from the volume. Add this to Aronson's growing body of fine historical works that are changing how young readers think about history. (biographical dictionary, glossary, sources & websites, index) (Nonfiction. 10+)

My holy grail foundation for a couple years now has been Maybelline's Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation, so I was excited to test out their new Dream Velvet Foundation. I was sent 3 of the 12 shades: 10 – Porcelain Ivory, 60 – Sandy Beige, and 95 Coconut.
Maybelline's first hydrating matte foundation for 100% velvet-smooth perfection. Unique gel-whipped formula. Ideal for normal to combination skin, medium coverage
Why You'll Love It: This refreshing gel-whipped foundation leaves complexion perfected and smooth with a velvety, soft-matte finish while skin stays hydrated for 12 hours.
The consistency is quite thick, like mousse, and I found the best way to apply it was to put a bit on the back of my hand, dip my flat top kabuki brush in, dab it all over my face, and then blend. I always apply a base layer and then go in and add a bit more to blemishes and spots where I need a bit more coverage. With using the new Maybelline Master Fix setting spray it typically lasts all day for me, but the reviews are extremely mixed – with some people loving it and having no issues, and others experiencing oxidization throughout the day and problems blending.
Porcelain Ivory is closest to my winter skintone so that's what I'm wearing below. Outside of adjusting levels to brighten the images a bit the photos are untouched (the before and after is a composite) and in the final pic I have used a bit of IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye under my eyes.
All comments and opinions are honest and my own.

What are cooling and warming blankets?
Cooling and warming blankets in Intensive Care are used to regulate the body temperature of a Patient. The blanket are therefore attached to a machine that is either blowing hot or cold air into the blanket that your loved one is covered with. Most warming blankets are placed over your loved one, whilst some cooling blankets or cooling devices are placed underneath your loved one.
It is quite common for Patients in Intensive Care to be either very hot or very cold in Intensive Care as a result of their underlying condition.
Some indications to warm a Patient include
- post- surgery after coming back from the operating theatre
- hypothermia(low temperature)
- Haemodialysis(Dialysis Machines)-warm blood coming out of a Patient's body and going through a machine and is cooling down, therefore the Patient feels cold
- peripheral vascular disease with cold feet and cold hands
Some indications to cool a Patient include
- Cardiac Arrest
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Sepsis
- high fevers
Any questions?
Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please discuss them with the ICU nurses and doctors.
All Intensive Care interventions and procedures carry a degree of potential risk even when performed by skilled and experienced staff. Please discuss these issues with the medical and nursing staff who are caring for your loved one.
The information contained on this page is general in nature and therefore cannot reflect individual Patient variation. It is meant as a back up to specific information which will be discussed with you by the Doctors and Nurses caring for your loved one. INTENSIVE CARE HOTLINE attests to the accuracy of the information contained here BUT takes no responsibility for how it may apply to an individual Patient. Please refer to the full disclaimer.

It is nearly impossible to avoid venturing out into the cold during the winter months. The frigid temperatures, wind and dry winter air can cause a painful skin irritation known as windburn. Wind removes the moisture and oils from your skin, leaving the skin chapped, irritated and itchy. Preventing windburn in your toddler is important to ensuring your toddler stays comfortable during the cold winter months.
Pat your child dry after he takes a bath, leaving a light layer of water on his skin. Apply pure petroleum jelly to his skin in a light layer to seal in the moisture on his skin, according to an article on windburn at Guidetohealth.com. If you are averse to using pure petroleum jelly, choose a lotion that is free of dyes, additives and alcohol. This step is the most important in preventing windburn because it draws moisture up through the skin layers and acts as a physical barrier to prevent moisture from escaping the skin according to AskDrSears.com
Apply a layer of sunscreen before venturing outside, even for a short time. While sunscreen will not prevent windburn, it will prevent sunburn, which can occur even on a cloudy winter day. Snow reflects the sun's rays, which can make sunburn even more likely on a cold winter day, according to Dr. Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York. Choose a sunscreen that has UVA and UVB protection as well as one that is approved for use on babies and toddlers. Reapply sunscreen about every two hours.
Put mittens, a heavy jacket, hat and a scarf on your child to limit the amount of exposed skin. Apply another layer of petroleum jelly to any exposed areas such as cheeks, nose, forehead, lips and chin. Keep an eye on your child's skin and reapply petroleum jelly if the skin looks dry or irritated.
Nourish your toddler's skin. Preventing windburn in toddlers will be much easier if the skin is already well-nourished. According to AskDrSears.com, your toddler should stay well-hydrated -- drinking about an ounce a day per pound of his body weight. Your toddler should also eat a good amount of seafood to reap the benefits of vitamin A, omega-3 fats and vitamin D, which all nourish the skin. Omega-3 fats are especially helpful as an anti-inflammatory. If your toddler will not eat seafood, supplement with an omega-3 vitamin. Fruits and vegetables that are bright in color -- tomatoes, blueberries and strawberries -- contain what Dr. Sears calls "anti-rust" agents that limit the wear and tear on skin.
If your toddler experiences windburn, even after prevention efforts, use a gentle skin cleanser and continually apply petroleum jelly to keep the skin moisturized.

Hartsuyker worried about Western Sydney road plan
A north coast Nationals MP says a federal promise for roads in Western Sydney could siphon-money away from the Pacific Highway upgrade.
In a statement Cowper MP Luke Hartsuyker has called for a guarantee that money for the highway upgrade will not be redirected to pay for Sydney road upgrades.
Yesterday the Prime Minister said she would commit at least a billion dollars to the West Connex motorway, under certain conditions including that it was toll-free.
Mr Hartsuyker said there is now speculation two billion dollars could be siphoned from the Pacific Highway upgrade and funnelled into western Sydney roads.
He said the Pacific Highway is the country's 'number one' infrastructure project and it would be a disgrace if Labor withdrew funding for it.

My career within the NHS – as a clinician, service manager, commissioner and policy advisor – has always had a focus on how important it is for people to be cared for at home, surrounded by their families. My work with Children and Young People has shown me that being at home, being able to maintain friendships, and being able to simply be a child are all even more vital when children are affected by long-term illness or disability. This is what Jessie May supports families to achieve.
I am proud to be the Chair of Trustees of Jessie May. I am able to use my skills and experience to support the Trust to grow, develop and strengthen, so that more families, in more places, can be supported to care for their children where they want to be. At home.
For the several years I have worked closely with a local disabled sports team. Understanding their needs and building many friendships with the team members has stood me in very good stead for my involvement with Jessie May. Engaging with people with disabilities not with disabled people. Understanding the enormous difference between those two descriptions.
Everyday I proudly wear my purple Jessie May wristband and Jessie May lapel badge. It is amazing how many people ask me about those two items and their enquiry is my opportunity to "spread the word" about how great the Jessie May charity is. I recently ran the Bath Half Marathon to raise funds for Jessie May. I try as hard as I can to take part in as many of the Jessie May events as possible. The events are always inspiring. Everyone involved or associated with the charity are extraordinary people achieving extraordinary things. The wonderful unsolicited testimonials received by the charity make all the hard and committed work so worthwhile.
I have always lived in the Bristol area. I am married and have two adult children who are both married and one grandchild aged 7. I was previously a solicitor and then a barrister. As a legal practitioner I advised mainly on child law and also employment law. I continue working in the legal field in Bristol. I have have held a number of work place managerial roles and been President or Chairman of a large number of local organisations. I joined Jessie May at a very exciting time and I very much hope that I will continue to have a long and happy association with it.
It was a privilege to be asked to serve as a Trustee for Jessie May. I have worked as a Trustee for other charities involved in work with sick and terminally ill children so I felt I had some experience to bring to the Board. However, as I learned how the work of the Jessie May Nurses transforms the lives of the families for whom they care, I came to realise that I was involved in something very special. One of the best things is that whether you are a volunteer, a nurse, the CEO or a Trustee you know that you are part of a 'family' and everyone is inspired to work for the common good. When I am out and about I am always looking for an opportunity to talk about the work we do – it is so special.
Everyone on the Board brings a special skill, mine is finance. I own a financial services business, so not only do I understand accounts, cash flow etc. but have hands on experience of running a business on a day to day basis. Running a charity has certain legislative restraints but in essence is a business and I feel I can bring my experience to help in this particular way.
I am the Chief Executive of fly2help, a charity that aims to improve the emotional wellbeing of people, young and old, living in difficult circumstances and inspiration to young people considering their futures. While it does very different work from Jessie May, both charities share similar objectives; that happiness, confidence and social opportunities are important for our quality of life.
My first connection with Jessie May was as a fundraising and business development consultant, when I was asked to review the charity's fundraising programme and how it could support an organisational strategy for growth. When I worked at Save the Children, one of my team had a little girl who was born with complex and profound physical disabilities and she died aged four. Her mother set up a charity to train staff in Russian orphanages how to interact with very disabled children and I am moved to see this same kindness in Jessie May's nurses. I joined the Board of Trustees in 2013 and serve on the Finance and Fundraising Committees and chair our Outcomes Measurement Working Group.
Over twenty years spent as a senior manager or fundraising consultant has enabled me to advise a wide variety of charities in social welfare, justice, mental health, education, healthcare, the Arts and heritage. The voluntary sector is driven and creative and it has been a privilege to work with many inspiring leaders, committed Trustees, enthusiastic staff and thoughtful donors.
My first introduction to Jessie May was in 1998 when my twin daughters, Francesca and Josephine, were referred to the service shortly after being diagnosed with a progressive life-limiting condition. Our Girls made firm friends with their Jessie May Nurses, enjoying the play, singing, stories and laughter the home visits offered and giving me a much appreciated break from my caring role. At that time my husband and I had no concept of how much Jessie May would mean to our family in helping us to cope with Fran and Jo's decline and in connecting us with other families. The Nurses brought a wealth of knowledge and a calm, friendly professionalism to our sometimes chaotic home as our beautiful daughters changed from lively, boisterous children into teenagers with profound and complex needs, requiring highly specialised nursing and palliative care. Francesca died aged fifteen and Josephine aged eighteen leaving an enormous void in our lives. Our busy home fell silent and we turned to Jessie May for the bereavement support they offer families for the first five years after a child's death.
I am proud to be a Jessie May trustee and my knowledge of this charity in the context of caring for my own children and as a bereaved mother gives me a valuable and unusual set of skills. In 2010 I founded 'The Purple Group', a bereavement group for parents and carers on the Jessie May caseload and I run the group as a volunteer alongside Jessie May Bereavement Nurses. I also work closely with the Fundraising Team, sometimes giving presentations to support funding bids.
In 2014 I contributed to a publication called 'Lives Worth Living', a collection of true stories written by the families of life-limited children. Following on from this project, I am currently co-facilitating workshops for Health Professionals about caring for children with life-limiting conditions from the perspective of the child, their parents and the family.
I am a Community Paediatrician specialising in Neurodisability and have worked in Bristol since 2006 where I quickly became aware of the fantastic service offered through Jessie May. When having difficult discussions with families about their child's life limiting illness, I was able to immediately offer a referral to Jessie May for help and support. I have seen first hand the contributions Jessie May Nurses make to families through practical support, advocacy and compassion. So I welcomed the opportunity to become a Trustee and be involved in the skilled operation that goes on behind the scenes.
I am also a hospice doctor and sit on some strategic bodies responsible for children's palliative care in the Avon area, where JM is clearly held in high regard.
I am always hearing from families how they value their Jessie May nurses who contribute to providing the best care for children and families.
I have just started as a Trustee for Jessie May, in February 2016. I work as a general practitioner in Bristol and wanted to use my skills in a different forum.
I am pleased to be given the opportunity to work with a charity able to provide such high quality support for vulnerable children at home. I enjoy being able to provide longer term continuity for patients and am impressed with the way the Jessie May nurses are able to support the child, parents and siblings over time. With recent successful fund raising, it is possible to provide care for more children than ever before.
It is an exciting time to join Jessie May and I look forward to making my contribution.
My first involvement with Jessie May came in 2008 when it was chosen as the charity of the year at my workplace. At the time, we worked closely with the fundraising team which gave me a chance to see the incredible work that the entire Jessie May team does and how it can be such an important support for its families. Since then, I have followed what Jessie May has been up to with real interest and have watched them go from strength to strength across the region. I find the work of the charity and the culture of the team incredibly inspiring and so when an opportunity came up to be considered as a Trustee for Jessie May in November 2017, I jumped at the chance.
As an employment lawyer in Bristol, over recent years I have spent a significant period of time in-house supporting a client with large strategic projects. This has given me real insight into the complexities of running a successful business and, for me, has highlighted the importance of having a clear business strategy underpinned by a collaborative and supportive workplace culture.
I am absolutely delighted to have joined the Jessie May Board of Trustees and look forward to playing my part in supporting Jessie May to be the best that we can be.

Sarah said: "I am delighted to have joined the Jessie May Board of Trustees and will support the Trust using my health care knowledge, skills and experience to support families to care for their children at home."
By background I am a children's nurse with a special interest in paediatric palliative care. I trained at Great Ormond Street Hospital and worked as a children's nurse in London and in Perth Australia before moving to Cardiff to take a degree in Psychology. This lead to a post as lecturer in nursing at the University of Wales College of Medicine in Cardiff. I set up the computing network in the department and developed and ran the Project 2000 Children's Nursing Degree. At this time I completed my PhD in Computing and Nurse Education and started my research career.
I moved to Swansea and completed a post doctoral fellowship evaluating community children's nursing in Wales. I moved to Bristol in 2002 to set up a research unit in community children's nursing. At this time money became available to develop children's palliative care. I developed and ran a three year education programme for health care professionals involved in looking after children with life limiting conditions. This is how I met the fantastic team at Jessie May and was invited to be a trustee.
I had a career change in 2009 and became a chocolatier. I now run my own business with Christmas being a particularly busy time! I love working with the families and staff at Jessie May and find spreading the word and expanding our services to other areas very exciting.

Umm at Tawabin: A Nabataean/Roman Military Camp, Ghor as-Safi
Alexandra Ariotti
Umm at-Tawabin is an extensive fortified Nabataean/Roman site overlooking Wadi al-'Arabah in south Jordan. The site consists of four buildings, over one hundred circular stone structures and other related features that are fortified by a 2.5 km long wall. In 2015-2016 with a PEF grant, I sought to address the question of the site's chronology through survey and a study of its surface pottery, the results of which are to be published in a forthcoming research article in the PEQ (2017). As my initial investigation concluded, selective excavation of these numerous architectural components was necessary to order to obtain a complete stratigraphic sequence of the site. In February 2017, excavations co-sponsored by the PEF have so far produced securely-dateable cultural material thus confirming that its main fortification, Fort A, was a Nabataean/Roman defence post designed for defence and monitoring. Pending analysis of the pottery recovered from two of the stone circles and the main perimeter wall will further augment our understanding of the site's occupational history. I now propose to carry out a second 30 day excavation in February, 2018 to retrieve material from three of its remaining forts (Forts B-D) and along the east perimeter wall, and to summarise my findings from this preliminary 2017 season.
A study of Fatimid metal objects in the Keir Collection at the Dallas Museum of Art
Gregory Bilotto
My PhD research concerns metalwork produced under the Fāţimids (909-1172 CE). A component of my research involves the study of Fāţimid metal objects recovered from archaeological excavations and definitely identified as Fāţimid through scientific evidence. A previous travel grant was awarded in 2016 by the Palestine Exploration Fund to examine metal objects datable to the Fāţimids and excavated from two ruined cities in mediaeval Bilad al-Sham. Building upon the research completed in 2016, which includes metalwork designs, imagery and production techniques, a continuation study of Fāţimid metalwork without an archaeological provenance will be undertaken in the Keir Collection at the Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas. The purpose is to apply the data collected from identified Fāţimid metal objects with those of an unknown origin. The result would be a more accurate identification for all the known Fāţimid metalwork without an archaeological provenance.
Religion, Modernity & the Material Reception of the Holy Land
Crispin Paine
The project's aim is to examine the reception of the 'Holy Land' in modern America, in parks and public venues themed on the Bible – themed notably on Jerusalem, the Israelite Temple, life in ancient Palestine and Noah's Ark. This project is part of a wider study of religion in theme-parks worldwide, which builds on my work on religion and museums. Religion impacts on modernity in a variety of ways, many of them material. As a burgeoning middle class seeks out modernity and fun as well as education and divine help, theme-parks are taking over much of the role of museums and much of the role of temples.
Diban: Food Production and Consumption in times of Rapid Change
Bruce Routledge
Changes in food production and consumption are sensitive indicators of social and economic change. At Tell Dhiban, Jordan we have the opportunity to explore changes in diet during two moments of significant historical change and to compare that trajectory of change in a common environment under distinct historical circumstances. In Field W we have identified domestic waste deposits from teh early eighth century BCE, correlating with a period of massive settlement growth as Dhiban became the capital of the Iron Age kingdom of Moab. In Field 5 we have isolated a sequence bridging the earliest moments of the transition from Late Byzantine to Early Islamic rule. In both cases, preliminary evidence suggests changes in both how food is produced and what food is consumed over brief periods of time. In 2017 we will collect further botanical and faunal remains in order to clarify, interpret and compare these patterns of change.
The Islamic Bayda Project
Micaela Sinibaldi
The Islamic Bayda Project focuses on archaeological investigations of an Islamic-period village in the area of Bayda, Petra region. The site, which includes village habitations organised in several clusters, a church, and two mosques, has been in use from at least the Nabataean to the Ottoman periods. This continuity of occupation originates from the fortunate geological and climatic conditions which have always made this area one of the most favoured of the Petra region for agricultural activities. Some of the principal aims of the Islamic Bayda Project are to investigate the range and development through time of the forms and dynamics of settlement in the Petra region during the whole Islamic period and to explore the important relationship between the Petra valley, where settlement continued without major gaps, and its hinterland. After three campaigns of excavation, it is proposed that the conservation of one of the two mosques is now started.
Differences in Traditional Health Seeking Practices between Rural and Urban Negev Bedouin Populations
Monika Wanis
Despite the establishment of Israel's National Health Insurance Law which provided universal biomedical healthcare to all citizens, there remains a large number of rural Bedouins living in Israel's Negev region with inadequate access to healthcare. This research project will determine how the enactment of this law has shaped Bedouin people's patterns of utilization, awareness and preferences associated with biomedical and traditional health. A cross-sectional, mixed methods design consisting of interviews, participant observation and case studies will be conducted in the Negev region in Israel for six weeks beginning July 1, 2017. Research findings will educate policymakers on the ramifications of this law and encourage health policy modifications to enhance Bedouin health.

**_Jamaica's first international superstar, Bob Marley is credited with bringing reggae, rasta and a powerful message of peace and reconciliation to people around the world at a time of great social crisis.
Following his death over three decades ago, "Nesta" left behind a legendary collection of music, but also a lingering sense of frustration at his refusal to save his own life.
How did Bob Marley die? Having revolutionized popular music and earned lasting fame, Bob Marley died in 1981 at the age of 36 from a brain tumor, which had formed in the wake of a metastasized melanoma cancer on his right foot's big toe.
This particular toe had been a periodic problem since he was a young boy in Jamaica. When the toe nail was ripped off during a soccer match at the beginning of Marley's Exodus tour in 1977, he went to a doctor who found preexisting cancerous cells in the afflicted area.
By the late '70s, Bob's melanoma had spread to his brain and spawned a tumor that would take his life. When did Bob Markey die? After enduring months of experimental 'holistic' treatment in Germany, he passed away in Miami on May 11, 1981 among friends and family.
'Cause every little is thing gonna be all right'
The 1977 Exodus tour would cement Marley's legend across Europe and the United States. But it began with a bad omen. In Paris for the first show, Bob played a game of soccer with some French journalists in which he badly busted up his right toe, losing most of the toenail. He should have stayed off the foot so it could heal, but Mr. Marley was on his Exodus tour; there was much to be done. The now-famous live recording at the Rainbow Theater in London was just weeks away.
So, Bob left the fate of his foot to chance and hope. By the London show, however, he was limping off the stage, his boot soaked in blood. Finally, he consulted a foot specialist in England who gave him the bad news: the toe was cancerous. Part of his foot would have to be amputated to keep the melanoma from spreading.
Chant Down Babylon
Amputation was a big problem. Bob's Rastafarian faith saw razors, scissors and combs as the technology of 'Babylon' and colonial oppression; a Rastaman should not allow his body to be pierced with any of these instruments. Horrified by the prospect, Bob agreed to a compromise: the doctors could resection the top half of his toe and perform a skin graft—but they would not be allowed to amputate through his foot as recommended.
Healing quickly from the less invasive procedure, Bob was heartened and tried to forget about his toe. It worked for a few years, but by the Uprising tour of 1980, the clock was ticking. Days before a major performance in Pittsburgh, he suffered a stroke while jogging in Central Park. His whole body was riddled with cancer, from the liver to the lungs and brain.
It seemed the American leg of the Uprising tour was all but doomed, but Bob—or, according to his family, his road manager and booking agency—was insistent that the show must go on. Despite extremely poor health, he performed his last formal show at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 23rd, 1980.
Jah Melanoma"Tuff Gong"
Marley charismatically expressed Rastafarian themes and shared them all over the globe, providing inspiration not only for people of color, but for everyone who cared about peace and justice. Why would Bob Marley reject a life-saving procedure on the basis of this philosophy?
Practitioners of Rastafari commonly place their trust in natural or holistic medicine over the pharmacological approach of the West. Moreover, Marley had long believed Jah would protect him; if his death was a part of the plan, he was okay with that. Rastafarians believe in eternal life: "My richness is life forever," he often said.
Bob didn't catch his cancer early, nor did he take appropriate action when he first learned of the abnormal cells—the two biggest mistakes you can make when threatened with melanoma. Unfortunately, many people believe melanoma can be neutralized just by cutting off the mass. Bob Marley tried this route, but it was too little and too late; melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer precisely because it is so eager to metastasize.
A melanoma even a millimeter deep is already deep enough to breach the bloodstream and export cancer to the rest of the body. More often than not, as Marley's case shows, such a rogue melanoma is nearly impossible to arrest. Yet the five-year survival rate for those that catch melanoma before it spreads is an astonishing 99%. In other words, Bob Marley probably could have survived had he allowed a timely amputation.
Bonus Facts To Arouse Your Curiosity
Assassination Attempt: 1976Bob Marley and his close entourage survived a politically-motivated assassination attempt by anonymous gunmen in Jamaica a year before discovering his cancer. It was on the eve of a peace concert amid intensifying political violence in the Caribbean island nation. Bob played the concert anyway, explaining: "The people who are trying to make this world worse aren't taking a day off. How can I?"
'Africa for the Africans
'Rastafarianism's roots hearken to 1920s Jamaica, when Marcus Garvey was a prominent public figure. It was from the beginning an empowering Afro-Caribbean cultural response to Western colonialism and racism. By the peak of Marley's career in the '70s, the Rasta lifestyle had been adopted by some 60% of indigenous Jamaicans.
Acral Lentiginous Melanoma
Skin cancer is most prevalent among white people but that doesn't mean people of color can't get it, as young Marley's untimely death demonstrates. Metastatic skin cancer, or melanoma, is the most lethal form of skin cancer. Bob Marley had a particularly aggressive type called "acral lentiginous melanoma," which disproportionately affects individuals of African and Asian ancestry.

Colourful new ad part of province's 'ambitious goals' for tourism
The province unveiled a colourful new tourism campaign for 2016 on Monday.
A new television ad, called Crayons, was launched at The Rooms as part of the province's award winning "Find Yourself" ad campaign.
"Newfoundland and Labrador's tourism campaign is one of the most recognizable and successful advertising campaigns in the country," said Christopher Mitchelmore, minister of business, tourism, culture and rural development.
"The new ad we are launching today continues to demonstrate how our province is different from other destinations."
The ad will start running as of Monday, and will run for 15 weeks — until May 1, 2016.
The ad is featured on Air Canada's in-flight entertainment system from January to April and features a musical score with lyrics written by Kira Willey and performed by Catherine Allan of Fortunate Ones.
"Crayons" is one part of the province's larger tourism advertising campaign that includes national newspaper ads, digital videos, online display ads and social media activity.
Also launched Monday was a new itinerary planning tool on the province's tourism site that offers content to aid travellers planning trips to Newfoundland and Labrador.
Mitchelmore said the ad cost $675,000 to produce, but the cost is a part of growing the industry in the province.
"We have ambitious goals for tourism. Tourism employs 18,000 people in Newfoundland and Labrador and thousands of small and medium sized businesses," he said.
"It reaches every segment and sector of the economy in some way, shape or form."
Footing the bill
Steve Kent, the opposition critic, said the investment in tourism was a good one, but he doesn't know where the money will come from to pay for it.
"I think it's a great investment, I think it's a needed investment, especially when times are tough in the economy, but sadly, we heard nothing new here this morning," he said.
Meanwhile, Mitchelmore said tourism in the province generates over $1.1 billion in visitor spending each year and government is aiming to reach $1.6 billion by 2020.
