"In 200 years, most people will be brown", said Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, the eminent Stanford geneticist. What he hinted at is the accelerating process of human globalization: the mixing of all peoples in the course of massive migration streams. As the end result of this relentless moving and mixing, brown will become the dominant skin color worldwide, he said. Gradual change is already evident in the United States where an estimated third of all who consider themselves as non-Hispanic whites are said to have a mixed ancestry, sometimes unbeknownst to them*).
What does that mean for Germany? Germany will in all likelihood continue to absorb millions of immigrants. These newcomers will increasingly hail from non-European countries and most of them will physically distinguish themselves from the local population.
The visible impact of immigration has started very slowly in Germany because up to now, most migrants came from other European countries and the neighboring Mediterranean. Due to demographic trends, however, more newcomers will in future arrive from sub-Saharan Africa, China and the Indian subcontinent.
If current immigration trends continue or accelerate, the majority of big city dwellers in Germany will be migrants or first generation descendants of immigrants. Already now, in cities such as Munich every fourth person**) is a foreigner. Only in the countryside, "old" Germans will retain the majority. On average, the "new" Germans will be overwhelmingly young, the "old" Germans old. As owners of most real estate, intellectual property and capital goods, many "old" Germans will find themselves in a comfortable social position whereas most immigrants will struggle to achieve their "German Dream" and compete with the local blue collar class.
Due to demand of employers and demographic pressure from outside, immigration will continue to be strong. In combination with the typically high fertility of the immigrants, newcomers will easily make up for any natural decrease of the "old" German population. The overall population size of Germany is therefore likely to remain at or exceed the current level of some 80 million, depending, of course, on the country's relative economic performance.
Although massive immigration is needed to sustain Germany's economy, it will also entail some unpleasant trends such as social disequilibria, new poverty and crime***). The myriad of small family homes ("Eigenheim") in suburbs, exurbs and the countryside are at risk; the image of a Shangri-La of safety which Germany still presents will suffer. The country will begin to resemble the United States in showing a combination of developed and developing country aspects. Gated communities will spring up and high-risers will become fashionable. Cities will need more effective policies to prevent the appearance of poor ethnic ghettos.
The immigrants will not only offer cultural variety but also import their economic traditions. Informal Chinese and Bangladeshi credit unions will serve to launch new commercial ventures; Arab and Persian style suq markets will extend the scope of traditional German flea markets. Fiscal police will have a hard time tracking and reining in the new informal economy with its often mafia-like structures. However, this informal economy will serve as a launching pad for new economic ventures; it will also supplement the traditional economy with creativity and services.
Also, the immigrants will import their religion. The percentage of Muslims in Europe's population, for instance, is likely to almost double by 2050. "Globally, Muslims have the highest fertility rate, an average of 3.1 children per woman – well above replacement level (2.1), the minimum typically needed to maintain a stable population. In Europe, for instance, the Muslim share of the population is expected to increase from 5.9% in 2010 to 10.2% in 2050 when migration is taken into account along with other demographic factors that are driving population change, such as fertility rates and age. Without migration, the Muslim share of Europe's population in 2050 is projected to be nearly two percentage points lower (8.4%)." (Pew Research Center) In 2010, Germany's Muslim population was calculated at about 5 percent of the total. If the Pew Center's projections prove accurate, the share would rise to nearly 10 percent by 2050.
Although, in the very long run, the "old" Germans will become a minority in their country, there is no danger that the "typically German" mentality and style of life will disappear. Although English would become the second language, dominating not only science and business. Beer steins, handshakes and German life style will be adopted by most newcomers eager to integrate and match local requirements.
The average German citizen in 2050 might be of slightly darker complexion but in all likelihood he or she will be as "teutonic" as his or her predecessors or ancestors. Although the country will become more colorful, many "old" German traditions will survive, if only as tourism attractions.
Heinrich von Loesch
*) A recent exhibit in Milan, Italy, of Civil War photographs released by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the Library of Congress shows several groups of freed slaves fighting for the Union. As far as the black & white pictures can tell, the average complexion of these volunteers appears much darker than that of today's African American population
. Keith Richburg, the former Africa correspondent of the Washington Post, described how he felt awkward for being, as an African American, of much lighter complexion than the Africans -- an experience also made by other American travellers.
**) Adding foreign born citizens with a German passport brings the share of "people with a migration background" to 40 percent of Munich's 1.5 million population. Within 10-15 years the "old" Germans could become a minority in Munich.
***) A spate of events in traditionally xenophobic northern Italy provoked calls for closing the borders and Mussolini's return. In a poor quarter of Turin, three African migrants staying in an occupied building kidnapped a handicapped Italian girl, kept and raped her for several days. In a train outside Milan, when a ticket inspector wanted to see the tickets of a group of young Latinos, they pulled a machete, chopped his arm off and wounded another rail employee.
It is obvious that clandestine immigrants represent a mixture of the best and the worst, the elite and the hoodlums. Italy, a country well known for its weak law enforcement, its superficial border controls and its mafia-run refugee reception centers pays a price by attracting ordinary criminals as well as organized crime such as the Latin youth maras.
The German microcensus 2014 revealed that in 2014, 16.4 million people of foreign origin were living in Germany. Compared to 2011, the number of immigrants had risen by 1 million to 10.9 million. Over the same period the local (non-immigrant) population decreased by 885,000. For 2015, immigration is expected to exceed previous levels. By 2030, Munich can be expected to become Germany's first big city with a population majority of foreign origin.
Update: By mid-2017, according to official statistics 43.3% of the population of Munich was either of foreign nationality (28.3%) or of foreign origin (15%).
These figures debunk popular fears that Germany's population is shrinking. The Berlin Institute for Population and Development is notorious among those (probably more politically than scientifically motivated) institutions which inspired popular media such as Der Spiegel to spread the "Demokalypse" story that Germany's was caught in an irreversible long term trend toward depopulation which would shrink the economy, as well.
Clearly, none of this is plausible. In 2015, Germany is Europe's most powerful magnet for immigrants. Immigration policies and logistic issues are currently among Germany's most pressing problems.
Update II
Italy also expects rapid growth of its population of foreign origins. By 2040, every third citizen below age 40 will be of foreign origin, according to the official Bureau of Statistics ISTAT:
"I dati Eurostat indicano che l'Italia "importerà" tra le 300 e le 400 mila persone l'anno almeno fino al 2040. Saranno anni in cui il numero dei cittadini stranieri o di origine straniera salirà dall'attuale 8,3 per cento a poco meno di un terzo dell'intera popolazione italiana. Sarà straniero o di origine straniera un ragazzino italiano su due e un cittadino con meno di 40 anni su tre. Oggi una classe elementare composta soltanto da bambini di origine straniera fa notizia: domani sarà quasi la normalità." (L'Espresso)

Following on from today's Heresy Corner article on the impact of ubiquitous hardcore porn on the nation's children and teenagers, I'd like to share with you a little talk by Cindy Gallop, delivered at the free-thinking but ever-so-slightly cultish TED.
Drawing on her personal experience with younger lovers (she cheerfully admits her cougarish proclivities) Cindy tackled a standard pornographic cliché: "My concern is particularly with the young girl whose boyfriend wants to come on her face. She does not want him to come on her face, but hardcore porn has taught her that all men love coming on women's faces, all women love having their faces come on, and therefore that she must let him come on her face, and she must pretend to like it."
That sounds plausible enough. But I can offer an equal and opposite experience. A close friend (all right, it was me) was once in bed with a woman and enquired what turned her on, sexually speaking. She replied that she liked it when men came on her face. "Surely not," I protested. "Men only come on women's faces in porn." My theory, I continued - I talk more or less how I blog, I'm afraid - was that the whole coming on women's faces thing was an invention of the porn industry, serving the practical function of externalising the act of ejaculation. I believe I actually used the verb "externalise". And now (by this time I was channelling Cindy Gallop) young girls habituated to porn pretended to like it when their boyfriends (who, equally cluelessly, got the idea from porn that coming on the girl's face was just something they were meant to do).
"Oh no", said my companion, who was no ingenue and, like me, remembered the days before internet porn, "I like it when men come on my face." "Not really my thing," I lamented.
Needless to say, the relationship was doomed.

Just when will the penny drop that, in the realm of sexual satisfaction, almost anybody might like almost whatever else that almost everybody else might do anything else to avoid? - and that everyone condemning everbody else for liking something else is utterly stupid

Actually, to the commenter above, that is exactly the point that MakeLoveNotPorn makes. And when it comes to coming on faces, as per the Heresiarch's extremely entertaining anecdote, it does all depend on who's doing the coming..:)

"In a shared kitchen, a social island is just what you need. Here it provides enough space for everyone in the house to cook, talk, work and relax, all in the same place, and without getting in the way of each other."
Clotilde Passalacqua, IKEA Interior Design Leader
Salads are way more exciting when you make them together. When it comes to healthy ingredients, grow your own greens with the KRYDDA GROW KIT and get apple wedges in a flash with the speedy SPRITTA apple slicer. Or, why not warm things up by toasting some walnuts in the non-stick OUMBÄRLIG pan.
A hot curry is a dish everyone can stir up together and will be sure to spice up the evening. Keep your recipe where the whole gang can see it, propped up on the GRIMAR tablet holder, whilst you get prepping your vegetables with the easy grip APTITLIG chopping board. Finally, let the fragrant spices come to life in the IKEA 365+ PAN.
Kickstart your day by preparing a breakfast of champions together. Sizzle up some bacon without frying your fingers with the HJÄLTE tweezers. Let your partner show off their barista skills and make a creamy cappuccino with the PRODUCKT milk frother.

Sunny summer days have all but disappeared to make way for the crisper autumn afternoons here in the northern hemisphere; give it another six or seven months, however, and we'll all spending lovely lazy afternoons in bikinis and boardshorts, not a care in the world—except the fact that our damn towels aren't drying fast enough. For that, Vertty is here to help.
The geometric swathes were the brainchild of Portuguese designer, creative director, and surfer Frederico Cardoso—and they're more than just an eye-catching accessory. A cotton-synthetic blend fabric reduces the time it takes to dry, while a clever sewn-in pouch makes stashing small valuables easy-peasy when it's time to take a dip.
At $89 a pop, they could be considered more of an investment piece—if you can get by without losing it, it just may be the last towel you'll ever need to buy. [Co.Design]

Researching an art history paper is about to get a whole lot easier. A joint effort to catalogue and publish online an archive of curator and Serpentine Gallery co-director Hans Ulrich Obrist's interviews is kicking off this weekend in Los Angeles. Once complete, the searchable Web site will feature 2,500 hours of recorded interviews and talks between the legendary curator and hundreds of luminaries in the fields of art, architecture, literature, and science.
The project, grandly called the Institute of the 21st Century, makes its official public debut the weekend of July 29 and will be in development for two to three years. Over that weekend, Obrist will conduct public interviews with artist John Baldessari and computer engineer Danny Hillis. Both interviews — the former held at LACMA's Art Catalogues store on July 29 and the latter held at the arts organization ForYourArt on July 30 — will center around the concept of time. (This theme will be particularly interesting for Hillis, who may be most famous for his "Clock of Long Now" — a monumental clock intended to function for more than 10 millenia.) Ultimately, the idea is that these two interviews, along with hundreds of others Obrist has recorded since 1985, will be made accessible to the public online and free of charge.
"People say that Hans Ulrich is always in a rush and moving from place to place, but when he's interviewing someone, he's completely present," ForYourArt founder Bettina Korek told ARTINFO. "He talks about how interviews liberate time in a way. It's his passion." Along with colleague Karen Marta, Korek is leading the Institute of the 21st Century's archive initiative.
The first phase of the project involves cataloguing the thousands of hours of tapes currently stored in Berlin and London. The Institute of the 21st Century team expects to load the interviews onto the Web site in stages, and then make them searchable. "This is really a new idea of what an archive can be," Korek enthused. The first segment, expected to go live on the Web site within a month, is a collection of interviews Obrist conducted with over 40 architects in a six-day interview marathon at the 2010 Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy.
Previous interviews Obrist has conducted over the course of his career include an extensive series of talks with enigmatic architect Cedric Price (turned into a book published in 2010); exchanges between architect Rem Koolhaas and the Metabolist group, a small team of Japanese architects active in the 1950s; and interviews with the late artists Mike Kelley and Jason Rhoades.
"There are a lot of great thinkers who aren't already on YouTube," said Korek. "There are a lot of people who are no longer with us in the archive, and Hans Ulrich considered them a chain reaction. When an artist mentioned an influence from the past, he would track that person down and interview them, too."
The result, its creators hope, will be a kind of cerebral, slowed-down audio Wikipedia exposing the hearts and minds of cultural titans of the 20th and 21st centuries. "This process is exciting because of the new points of access it creates for audiences," said Korek, "who may come to it through their interest in a writer, an engineer, or composer and find their way to an artist."

In this tutorial you will learn how to resize your inserted picture to exact proportions. Follow these steps:
While working with Excel workbooks, it is very important to know how to add pictures to your current workbook. In fact, the picture will not be inserted into your Excel cell, but it will float above the grid of Excel cells. However, it is possible to make your picture look like it is placed exactly in the cell.
It is very easy to insert or copy any kind of pictures into your PowerPoint presentation or any other Microsoft Office documents. You can insert pictures from online or directly from your computer. You should know that Microsoft Office does not provide ClipArt in its applications any more. However, now you can search for pictures online and then insert then in your Office files. Just find the ribbon and press the tab "Insert". You can use the button "Online Pictures" or "Clip Art".
Users of Microsoft Outlook (2016 version) have the opportunity to insert their 3D objects into their private emails. This is a great feature which is a full-sized message editor. For example, you can create your email, you will already be using this editor. However, if you reply to someone's message in the reading pane, you will have to pres "Pop Out" in order to get the message editor expanded to its full-size. After this, you will need to go to the tab "Insert" and press the option "3D Models".
If you want to add 3D objects to your PowerPoint presentation or any other Microsoft Office file, you should check Remix 3D which is one of the biggest online catalog offering an impressive collection of 3D models. You can choose any model for free. This is a great community where users can collect, upload and share creative 3D models. In order to choose a desired 3D model from 3D Remix catalog you will need to press "3D Models" and then "From Online Source". You will see a dialog box appearing where you will be able to select a 3D image from a big catalog. Once you have chosen the image, you should just press "Insert".
Every time when you are going to insert a new 3D model in your Microsoft Office file, you will get access to the contextual tab (see the ribbon under "3D Model Tools" which is called "Format"). On the tab "Format" you will find various handy controls which can help you modify the way your 3D model will loon on your file.
You will be amazed to know that PowerPoint supports 3D models. You can insert them directly to your PowerPoint presentation in order to illustrate all major points. All 3D models can be rotates to 360 degrees or you can tilt them up/down. This will show your target audience a specific object or feature. This update and all its improvements can be accessed by all subscribers of Microsoft Office 365. You should check these innovations b joining the program Office Insider.

The Division of Health Care Communication has partnered with Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society (Xyolhemeylh) since 2006 to offer a unique interprofessional community-led educational experience for health professional students at UBC.
The award winning program was developed to improve health care through culturally relevant community-based initiatives, including the specific training of health professionals to deliver culturally appropriate care.
Health professional students participate in three or four day cultural camps that aim to bridge the gaps of communication and trust between Aboriginal clients and their future health care providers.
Camps are led and organized by community elders, family intervention workers, and youth leaders. On- and off-reserve children and teenagers are gathered into a secluded and peaceful environment where they can reconnect with their rich history and culture.
UBC students from across the various health professions have an opportunity to engage with and experience Aboriginal culture.They are seen as good role models and sources of information for the youth. They provide health related workshops (topics chosen by the community) in exchange for their learning experience.
Common topics include: sexual health, drug use, mental health & self-harm, nutrition, doctors' roles and responsibilities (e.g. confidentiality) and how to become a doctor, social worker, nurse, etc.
For more information about the camps and to get involved, please visit the program website or contact Ceara Claridad at email@example.com

Powder Coating VS Wet Paint
When it comes to complet
ing your welding/fabrication project, the choice of painting versus powder coating is often a tough one. In the end, both are worth your consideration, as both have unique pros and cons. Whether you are leaning towards a paint finish or powder coating, this information is bound to help you make the right decision.
Here are the benefits of a Wet paint finish for your welding/fabrication project:
Wet paint is the traditional route. The painting process is done through liquids and sprays. Both are viable options for an evenly coated finish, whether you want an ultra-thin finish or a thicker coating of up to 15-20 micrometers. Painting also provides you with a wider range of colors to choose from and produces a thinner finish for your product. Wet paint is more economic when doing smaller jobs as well.
Here are the benefits of a powder coating finish for your welding/fabrication project:
Economically, powder coating is ideal for larger projects because the average efficiency of such a coating is between 60-70 percent. This means that the overspray can be reclaimed, resulting in less wasted product. The base product used in powder coating is also significantly cheaper than other methods.
Powder coating is thicker than other finishes, contributing to the overall mechanical versatility of it. This translates into a more flexible, durable yield during and after application. A powder coating produces a harder finish than any other type, making it more resistant to chips or scratches.
Studies have shown that a powder coating can withstand cracking, flaking and bending up to 800% before failing. That is certainly more than can be said for most other types of finishes. As such It's the ideal finish to administer to items that need to be transported because it protects the products from the wear and tear associated with vibration and movement during transport.
The environmental and safety benefits of a powder finish are also significant. Powder coating materials contain no solvents or volatile-organic-compounds. This means that there are no harsh chemicals released into the environment during application. Disposal is easier because of the lack of hazardous material in it. Due to this particular asset the waste can simply be disposed in your local landfill without issue.
The value of using a powder coating for streamlining your product is also viable. This is the other advantage of using a powder coating, because after the product is removed from the oven, it takes less than 30 minutes for it to completely cure.
If you are still on the fence about making a choice between a paint or powder coating for your finish, here are the main differences between them: Painting provides you with a variety of colors to choose from and produces a much thinner finish than a powder coating can provide. Powder coating produces a thicker finish and has a limited amount of metallic colors to choose from, however it is more ideal for fiscally large projects and safer for the environment. Whichever product you choose, Arctech Welding can help.

Sadly the goal that the Vote for Junior campaign was founded upon and set out to achieve will not be accomplished. However, those involved with the campaign and that were drawn to it received an inside look at one of the greats of the game of baseball. Here are some of our drafted ideas for potential future post:
Reasons to Vote for Junior
He SHOULD have been the HR king
-1994 players strike, injuries (wrist, shower, boat accident, etc.)
He is the ONLY option
-Review the career stats of the leading ballot members
He is a nostalgic guy
-Wore a Michael Jackson glove, created the Jackie Robinson jersey, changed number to #3 for the number of kids he has
He helped boost the baseball card industry
He has the MOST iconic baseball card ever
-Darren Rovell of CNBC wrote a piece on this
-Honus Wagner eat your heart out
He would be a crowd and fan pleasure
-We want him in, place in the standings (Blogs, Facebook pages, etc.)
He is a face of an organization...and 90's baseball
He is the best of the 90's
-Voted by peers as 90s best player
*Selected reason submitted by a blog read
Charlie and I would like to thank all of those who read our blog, followed our social media and assisted with our campaign. We have appreciated your comments, suggestions and gratitude. We know there were many readers who enjoy our post and grew to understand the value of having Ken Griffey Jr. in the 2010 MLB All-Star Game. Thanks again for everything and just remember fellow patrons that Ken Griffey Jr. is eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015. Is he a first year, first ballot guy? We think yes! Maybe Charlie and I will have to make a comeback campaign?

- Almost half of Red Button budget spent on distributing the service before cutbacks in late 2012.
The BBC Trust has today published its findings following a review of the BBC Red Button service, alongside BBC Online. Broadly, the service was found to be in good health, but the Red Button's increased connectivity to internet services means the Trust wants to merge the Red Button and Online service licences.
Ten years ago, the Red Button and Online services all came under the "BBCi" banner, before being re-branded into separate services.
The Trust found that the BBC Red Button service reaches a "very large audience of over 17 million adults each week". It stated that "audiences value the service as a good option for getting news, sport, weather and other information in a straightforward manner on their TV screens. The convenience of being able to access this information is appreciated, particularly amongst those who have no or limited access to the internet", before acknowledging that the service attracts an older audience than BBC Online.
However, in its study of the service, the BBC Trust received "concerns about the reduction of videostreams", with the BBC receiving some complaints about the changes that took place on digital satellite and cable services last year.
To enable the Red Button service to begin to offer more choice again, the BBC Trust confirmed its approval of the "Connected Red Button", currently being trailed in some Virgin Media households, as a future method of delivering extra content - but this time via the internet to TV sets. On the subject, the Trust added: "We believe the Connected Red Button could increase delivery of the public purposes, by making existing online content more convenient to access on TV sets. The development also contributes to the BBC's digital purpose, by encouraging audiences to make the most of new technologies."
Cost savings as a result of the changes to the Red Button last year have yet to kick in. In 2011-12, it cost £18.3 million to distribute BBC Red Button content across all digital TV platforms. This rose during the previous financial year - 2012-13 - due to the extra Olympic channels, reaching £19.6 million. Nearly half of the BBC Red Button budget was spent on distributing the service. Following the changes that kicked in last autumn, figures for the 2013-14 financial year are expected to be dramatically lower.
The BBC Trust is separately reviewing how the BBC distributes its services and audience expectations of how BBC services should be available on various digital platforms. The outcome of this review - and how it may affect BBC Red Button/BBC Online in the future - is expected later this year.

Take James Stewart. His growing catalog of spectacular mistakes now includes this weekend's wild ride through the whoops, which saw him very nearly go all Matt Goerke and launch himself into the cheap seats. Fortunately for him—and unfortunately for the other man—Chad Reed was there to slow him down. The energy went through the series points leader's motorcycle and sent him through the tuff blox, over the berm, and out of the points lead.
Stewart has made his share of mistakes this season.

Reed himself has made some mistakes too, though this crash is the one that might haunt him, as he could have built on his points lead had he stayed up and at least finished third, because at that point Ryan Villopoto wasn't looking like he was going to get anywhere near the podium.
And speaking of the usually steady RV, he seemed like his old self again once Stewart took out Reed and Ryan Dungey fell. But the damage of the previous two rounds—Villopoto failed to qualify at Jacksonville and was dropped by Stewart (only in Canada, and back to ninth instead of eighth, where Reed eventually finished)—and the Monster Energy Kawasaki rider gave back an entire race to the field in the form of some 35 points.
Dungey has had his fair share of mistakes, but it was that broken chain back at Anaheim 2 that really sunk him deepest. Shots at the win at races like Houston and Dallas have conspired to keep him mostly out of the title talk—and he's only seven points behind now!
Reed lost valuable points in Dallas.
Photo: Andrew Fredrickson
Canard? He gave away San Diego twice. Kevin Windham? He had Houston in the bag before he crashed out front all by himself. Like I said, they've all had their chances, and they've all thrown a few away.
Which brings us back to Stewart, the straw that stirs this drink when it comes to bench-racing. Whether he's trying too hard to get through traffic (both on and off the track) or just trying to smooth it all out, he's the lightning rod that attracts the critics and the purists. His crash into Reed at Dallas could be blamed on impatience, poor racecraft, or just plain hubris, but you have to admit one thing: the man was trying to ride as fast as he possibly could. That's an admirable trait in any racer, of course, but it's probably going to cost him this title.

On the lighter side.
Well in back on my diet after a trip to the cardiologists office a week ago. Good news is the ticker is strong but my weight and cholesterol. Not so much. Been on the diet for 2 weeks now and in down 10 pounds. We made burger boats with remain lettuce. They were great! Also picked up some what a burger ketchup. It was worth it. If anyone has some healthy meal advice I would love to hear about it. Sorry no pics. Phone is acting up. I will try again later.

If you want to add tonight's big game your digital video recorder's to-do-list from the Internet and download shows to your DVR from your laptop, a friend's DVR or an online video service, such as Amazon, then connect a DVR to your home network. Your DVR will be able to keep itself up-to-date without a telephone line, and you'll still be able to watch shows that reflect your interests, at your own convenience.
Connect a DVR to Your Home Network
First you will need a DVR and an Internet-connected home network. Then, it's time to decide how to connect them.
- Using a wired Ethernet connection is faster and more reliable. Speed is important if you want to frequently transfer shows to another laptop or DVR inside your home. Consider pulling cable from room to room — even though Wi-Fi is more convenient. Depending on your DVR, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapter can also be less expensive – even free.
- Using a wireless Wi-Fi connection simplifies installation if your DVR and router are in different rooms. Avoid old, slow 802.11b adapters. Today's DVRs support 54 Mbps 802.11g adapters. Next generation DVRs will support 802.11n adapters that will reach farther, faster.
Either way, you must choose an adapter that is compatible with your DVR. Built-in and add-on options differ by DVR brand and model, so consult your manual and provider's website. For example:
- TiVo Series2 and Series2 DT DVRs can be networked by adding a USB Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter. If you owned one of these models, you would buy one of the compatible adapters listed on TiVo's Web site and plug that adapter into your DVR's USB port (see Figure 1, A and B).
- Newer TiVo Series3 HD DVRs come with a built-in Ethernet port. If you owned a Series3, you could plug your DVR directly into your router, without purchasing an adapter (see Figure 1, C). If you'd rather connect over wireless, don't worry: You can still add a USB Wi-Fi adapter.
Configuring your DVR
After plugging your DVR into that CAT5 cable or USB adapter, it's time to configure your DVR. You will need to know a few things about your router's Local Area Network (LAN) settings:
- Does your router dynamically assign IP addresses to other devices in your network? Look for a "DHCP server" option – if enabled, that's all you need.
- Otherwise, jot down the router's LAN IP address, subnet mask, and Domain Name Server (DNS) address. You will need to type those into to your DVR.
Now grab your DVR's remote and look for a menu like "Network Settings." For example, on a TiVo, navigate from "TiVo Central" to "Messages and Settings." Click "Settings," then "Phone and Network," then "Change Network Settings."
TiVo owners will see Figure 2. Other DVR menus may differ, but will offer at least two options for configuring the DVR's IP address: dynamic (DHCP) or static (manual). If DHCP was enabled on your router, just choose that option – the network will do the rest. Otherwise, you must configure a static IP address as shown in Figure 3.
When configuring your DVR, you will probably need to enter:
- Gateway: Your router's LAN IP address.
- Subnet: Your router's LAN subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0).
- DNS: Your router's Domain Name Server address.
- IP Address: Unique address assigned to your DVR.
What address should you assign to your DVR? Just pick an unused value in your LAN subnet. For example, if your router's IP is 192.168.20.1, and your laptop's IP is 192.168.20.2, enter "192.168.20." followed by any value between 3 and 253.
When connecting your DVR by wireless, there's one more step. Look for a Wireless set-up menu; Figure 4 shows the TiVo "Wireless Network Name" screen. (On some DVRs, this step must be completed before entering IP addresses.)
Choose your own wireless network's name – that's the Service Set Identifier (SSID) configured into your router, not your neighbor's! If you don't see your network name, type it in – capitalization and spaces count. If your wireless network is secure, enter the WEP key or WPA PSK expected by your router.
You're done! You now know how to connect a DVR to your home network. Your DVR will test the connection automatically by trying to reach your provider's server. If all goes well, your DVR will update itself over the Internet from now on, and you can start using additional features such as transferring shows between DVRs and downloading online movies.
What if something goes wrong?
DVR set-up often goes smoothly – particularly when using Ethernet. But when something goes wrong, most DVRs offer trouble-shooting advice. Figure 5 shows TiVo advice on wireless problems.
Although each DVR is different, here are some common problems and fixes:
- For Ethernet, check that both ends of the cable are firmly inserted into ports on the router and DVR (or USB adapter).
- For Wi-Fi, verify that your router's network name and keys match your DVR's settings.
- Wi-Fi signal drops with distance and in the presence of interfering devices. Try setting your DVR up next to your router before moving it to the desired location.
- If your DVR uses DHCP but cannot get an IP address (address is 0.0.0.0 or 169.something), configure a static IP instead.
- If your router has been configured with a MAC address security filter, add your DVR adapter's address to that list
You may need to tweak DVR, route or PC settings to use more advanced features like video downloads; check your DVR manual and provider's support pages for details.
Congratulations on learning how to connect a DVR to your home network!

Hampton Roads Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine was pleased to add Stem Cell Therapy to our list of services earlier this year. Dr. Kinjal Sohagia are offering these state-of-the-art regenerative therapies, which include Adipose Stem Cell Therapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP). Undergoing stem cell therapy can lead to diminished pain and physical limitations without the need for joint replacements and other invasive surgeries.
At Hampton Roads Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine RPP and stem cell therapy treatments are customized and tailored for each individual patient's needs according to the extent of the injury.
What are Stem Cells?
Most cells in the human body have an assigned purpose (for example liver cells, fat cells, bone cells, cardiac muscle cells). However, stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells. This means that they have the ability to differentiate and divide into any type of cell found within the body. These cells can be taken from adult patients' bone marrow or fat, and have the potential to differentiate into the selected tissue it was injected into.
Common conditions which can be treated with Stem Cell Therapy include:
- Golfer's and Tennis Elbow
- Back, Neck and Spine pain and injuries
- Arthritic Joints, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Rotator Cuff Tear and Acromio-clavicular (AC) joint injury
- ACL and Meniscus injuries
- Biceps, hamstrings and Calf muscle injuries and pain
- Tendon and Ligament Injuries and Pain
- Hip, Knee, Shoulder, ankle and other Joint injuries and Pain
- Sacroiliac joint pain
- Bursitis and Tendinitis
- Plantar Fasciitis
Orthopedic stem cell treatments provide a wide variety of advantages over other surgical options, including:
- Avoiding the risk of rejection by re-implanting tissue from a patient's own body.
- Stimulating a natural healing response by using the patient's own tissue instead of artificial implants or replacements.
- Ability to potentially end the need for surgery.
- Treating conditions that are often deemed too extensive for repair, such as degenerative disc disease.
Finding Help from a Skilled Orthopedic Surgeon in Hampton Roads
If you or a loved one is in need of orthopaedic care, do not hesitate to get in touch with Dr. Kinjal Sohagia and the medical team at HRSOM. Dr. Sohagi is dedicated to providing patients with the best in today's orthopaedic treatments including the use of stem cells. To learn more about how our specialists can help you, call our office today to schedule an appointment or contact us online.

Library and literature research skills can contribute in any discipline. Also on using computers in the dental office, it should include topics on components and functions of practice management programs, computer based oral health records, digital imaging. The course should focus on emerging clinical applications that will be vital to the delivery of dental care in the 21st century. The course will deliver education in a rapidly evolving field when students need it most shortly before they graduate.
- Specialty Courses
- Case Presentation
The case presentation will be conducted in the form of a seminar.
The purpose of this seminar is to provide a forum in which clinical experiences can be shared and in which constructive criticism will benefit not only the presenter, but also all in attendance.
- Rationale
Residents' presentation of clinical cases will serve as the basis for discussion of diagnosis and treatment philosophies and for evaluation of students' clinical performance.
- Materials
Residents are required to present cases, which demonstrate a broad spectrum of treatment procedures with justification and thorough documentation. The diversity and complexity must document exceptional skill and expertise in endodontic treatment. Each student should demonstrate a clear and precise understanding of the rationale for a course of treatment, for a differential diagnosis, for alternative approaches to treatment, and of the biological basis for modern endodontic practice. Consultations, as needed to support the presentations, are pre-requisite to cases presented.
Calendar of Activities
The schedule of meetings and assignments will be distributed before the commencement of the course Evaluation
The following categories will be evaluated:
- Diagnostic approach
- Clinical approach
- Rationale of therapy and mechanism oF repair
- Background literature
The supervisors will observe and evaluate the case presented, the quality of the student's response, familiarity, experience, and the manner of presentation, confidence and authority.
Endodontic Literature Review
The purpose of this course is to review the current literature for articles pertaining to Endodontics in a seminar format.
- Pulp Biology
This course covers the biologic basis of pulp therapy based on classic and current scientific literature, embryology, physiology, and microanatomy of the dental pulp and related structures. The course also explores prevention, etiology, diagnosis and treatment using scientific principles. Students are taught biologic rationale for treatment from extensive literature review.
The course reviews the normal and diseased pulp and its relationship to periapical tissues. Emphasis is placed on pulpal, neural and vascular supply; pulpal defense mechanisms; injury, aging, and retrogressive changes and pulp's response, healing and repair potential of periapical tissues; and histopathology of periapical lesions. Clinical sign and symptoms are correlated with histopathology whenever possible. Pulpal reactions to irritants are emphasized along with associated diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
- Book Review
The objective of this course is to review current techniques and philosophies of endodontic practice as presented in current Endodontic textbooks. The texts recommended are:
- Pathways of the Pulpby Cohen and Burns
- Endodonticby Ingle
- Textbook and Color Atlas of Traumatic Injuries to the Teethby Andreasen J. and Andreasen F.
- Surgical Endodonticsby Gutmann and Harrison

High School Sports
Pace guard Destiny Wilson excels as athlete and student despite being deaf
Monsignor Pace's Destiny Wilson is never out of sync with her teammates.
Whether it's shooting three-pointers or driving to the basket, Wilson has a knack for being in the right spot at the right time to make plays for the Spartans girls' basketball team, which entered Tuesday night's regional semifinals with an 18-3 record.
But her talents aren't limited to the basketball court.
Wilson, a 5-7 junior guard, is averaging 17 points, has a 3.6 grade-point-average, is a two-time All-Dade first team flag football player and was a sprinter for Pace's track team.
And she has accomplished all of this despite being deaf.
"I was deaf and my family didn't notice until I was 1 year old," Wilson said. "I wear the hearing aid when I play during games. If I don't hear my teammates I will let them know. I've sometimes broken the hearing aid and I still play through it."
But Wilson, who reads lips well, can hear enough to carry conversations, and her teammates have never let it impair their ability to succeed together.
"Destiny is very encouraging to all of us," Pace senior forward Kevona Gay said. "Even if she may get frustrated on the court, she's always positive and has been great for all of us. Even that time her hearing aid broke, we just made sure to get her attention, talk louder, whatever it took to make sure we knew what plays we needed to run."
Wilson's condition, however, hasn't deterred her from becoming one of Miami-Dade County's top shooting guards and leading Pace to its second regional semifinal appearance in three seasons.
Wilson doesn't have formal scholarship offers yet, but is starting to draw interest from some schools after a breakout season.
"The biggest thing with her and other players on this team was getting them to play with confidence," said first-year Pace coach Adam Hopkins, who won state championships at Miramar Parkway Academy before coming to Pace. "She had the talent to be very good, but she had to believe in herself."
Gay and Jaylin Moye have worked well with Wilson and sophomore point guard Vernisha Jenkins this season to make the Spartans one of the top teams in Miami-Dade County.
In flag football, Wilson plays wide receiver and as a freshman was a vital part of the Spartans' run to the state final four.
Wilson also ran the 200 meters for Pace's track team until her sophomore year.
One of seven siblings, Wilson is the fourth-eldest among her brothers and sisters and was raised mainly by her grandparents.
"My brothers and sisters have always encouraged me to stay on the right track," Wilson said.
Wilson said she grew up idolizing Heat star Dwyane Wade and WNBA stars Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker.
If her basketball dreams don't take her as far as her idols, Wilson wants to study to become a firefighter.
"I always want to help people," Wilson said. "My friends are always saying I have a very caring personality and want to make sure people get the help they need."
Wilson, whose dream is to one day play for the University of Miami, has a 3.6 grade-point-average in school and is one of the brightest student-athletes at her school.
"I've never coached an athlete as talented as her that's overcome what she has," Hopkins said. "She can bring it in whatever sport she plays and she can get it done."

I took a bunch of random garden pictures today and thought I would share them with you. I have been a little lax in taking care of the garden but will post a series of pictures to show you that I haven't totally given up on it. It may have a few weeds but, I have been getting lots of fresh vegetables out of it. I have so many zucchini I think my neighbors are going to lock the doors and close the curtains next time they see me coming.
What an incredible lunch I had today! I was able to harvest some romaine lettuce, green pepper, 3 kinds of tomatoes, beets, cucumber and some herbs. I added some feta cheese, olives and dressing and had a fantastic salad.
The tomatoes have turned into a jungle! I had a lot of problems with blossom end rot which put my harvest almost a full month behind. I did a lot of pruning of excess foliage today and hope it helps give the plants some better air circulation. I was able to find quite a few tomatoes that were unaffected and hope the BER tapers off so I can enjoy many more and have enough to put up for the winter.
A few of the tomatoes and some peppers I picked (forgot to take pictures before I ate quite a few). As I was pruning, I knocked off some large green tomatoes which should ripen just fine on the kitchen counter.
Some of those zucchini I mentioned. I am getting some this big and at least 3-4 every couple days. Just kidding earlier about the neighbors running. The extras I take to a local greenhouse where there is a drop off for produce to be given to Forgotten Harvest. I have been able to share quite a bit so far this spring starting with lettuce late in May.
One of my favorite vegetables, kohlrabi. Many people have no idea what this vegetable is. I think they are wonderful and am so happy to have been eating these since early spring. I winter sowed a lot of these and am so glad I did. I plan on doing them again for next year as well.
I'm not sure if you remember my experiment with planting potatoes in pots. These are just some of the ones I was able to harvest...I didn't think to take pictures before I ate a few. I am going to try growing them indoors this winter for sure! All in all, quite successful.
The last of the broccoli and the most successful. I started several plants indoors under lights early this spring and planted them outside in March. This one plant was winter sown and by far put out the largest head. My daughter was very lucky to receive the other plants I started this way and was just as successful. Another plant I will definitely start this way again next year.
Alright, not a garden picture but I thought you might like to see what I actually look like. My granddaughter has become quite good at taking pictures and this is one she snapped of me.
I also have been harvesting LOTS of beans and in the next post will show you what I have been doing with those I am not sharing and eating. Hope you enjoyed my update! Kim
