15 Books For Your Valentine's Day Present, Because There's Nothing More Romantic Than Literature
We have once again begun the long, cold, emotionally confused descent towards Valentine's Day. Now is the time of the year to decide exactly how you truly feel about that person you're "talking to," "seeing," or possibly even "dating," and then quantify your feelings with a material gift. You could get them flowers, which are useless and will soon shrivel up and die before their eyes. You could get them those little candy hearts, which are essentially the same as saying, "I didn't try, eat this chalk." Or you could get them a book, and win Valentine's Day this year and for all future years. Here are a few great books to give your Valentine instead of flowers, candy chalk, or heart-shaped balloons.
Books are, after all, very versatile gifts. On the one hand, they clearly communicate "I think you are intelligent and capable of reading." And on the other hand, you can be as romantic or as unromantic as you like with a book gift. You can pick out a sappy book for your long-term S.O., a sexy read for your new hook up, an emotionally fraught novel for your "friends with benefits but now it's turned weird somehow," or a fun, friendly work of nonfiction for your platonic Galentine:
'Soppy' by Philippa Rice
If you're happily partnered up in a long-term relationship, then you and your Valentine can get all sappy over Philippa Rice's Soppy. It's an adorable collection of comics about those little, mundane moments spent in the company of the person you love.
'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe' by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
If your Valentine had a rough time in high school, or if they're still coming to terms with their identity, or even if they just like a great book about love and friendship, give them Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. It's a breathtaking story about two teenage boys, the angry Aristotle and the know-it-all Dante, and the unique relationship they forge together as they struggle with finding their place in the world.
'Blankets' by Craig Thompson
If you're dealing with the heady experience of first love this Valentine's Day, then you and your Valentine both need to read Blankets. It's a gorgeous, honest depiction of falling in and out of love for the very first time, set against the stunning backdrop of a Wisconsin winter.
'The Thing Around Your Neck' by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Who says that a Valentine's Day gift has to be romantic? If you're not ready to exchange lovey-dovey gifts with your someone this February, just give them a really excellent short story collection. Adichie's The Thing Around Your Neck bounces back and forth between America and Nigeria in twelve dazzling stories about survival, identity, loneliness, and (just a little bit) love.
'Tipping the Velvet' by Sarah Waters
If you want a steamy read that you and your sweetie can enjoy together, but also a romantic Victorian novel to discuss over tea, then you need Sarah Waters' Tipping the Velvet. It's the beautifully crafted story of Nan, an oyster girl, who becomes the personal dresser for the captivating Kitty Butler, a male impersonator extraordinaire.
'Tash Hearts Tolstoy' by Kathryn Ormsbee
If you want a book that's romantic without being too sexually charged, then you're looking for Tash Hearts Tolstoy. Tash, you see, has created a popular web-series based on Anna Karenina, and her internet fame has led to some online flirtation... but Tash doesn't know how to tell her newfound crush that she's romantic asexual. It's the perfect read for anyone in a literature loving, non-conventional relationship.
'Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History—without the Fairy-Tale Endings' by Linda Rodríguez McRobbie
If you and your Galentines are extremely OVER traditional depictions of cutesy, Disney-princess-style romance, then check out Princesses Behaving Badly. It's chock full of cheeky, true stories about princesses who were not down to just sit around and wait for their Prince Charmings.
'Saga' by Brian K. Vaughan, art by Fiona Staples
If you don't want to get too cutesy on Valentine's Day, but you do want to send your Valentine on a terrific space adventure through far-off galaxies, then gift them volume one of Saga. It's love story, sure, but that love is buried under several layers of space battles, thrilling escapes, clever plot twists, and the most imaginative aliens this side of the Star Wars Cantina scene.
'How Lovely the Ruins: Inspirational Poems and Words for Difficult Times' edited by Annie Chagnot and Emi Ikkanda
If your Valentine is going through a rough time right now, or if you want to gift a person poetry without explicitly gifting them love poetry, How Lovely the Ruins is a must-read collection of poetry for the modern political climate. It collects the classic works of poets like Langston Hughes and Elizabeth Barrett Browning alongside contemporary poets responding to this past year of emotional upheaval.
'Romeo and/or Juliet' by Ryan North
If you're trying to walk that fine line between romantic and silly, then give your Valentine a few options with Romeo and/or Juliet. It's a choose-your-own-adventure version of Shakespeare's ultimate love story, with plenty of romance, hilarity, and at least one version of a body-builder Juliet.
'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen
Why mess with the classics? If your S.O. is a good old fashioned romantic, gift them the ultimate smart-girl-and-grumpy-man romance novel. Pride and Prejudice still holds up as a rom-com and comedy of manners, and it's a romantic-yet-restrained gift for a classy Valentine.
'The God of Small Things' by Arundhati Roy
If your sweetheart enjoys unconventional story structures and inventive prose, give them The God of Small Things. It's the story of two young twins, and the series of events that tore their family apart. It's also one part forbidden romance, one part inter-generational family drama, with a whole lot of social commentary and comedy thrown in.
'The Science of Kissing: What Our Lips Are Telling Us' by Sheril Kirshenbaum
Most of us accept kissing as a normal part of romance, but... why do people kiss? When did it start? Why do some cultures think it's normal, and other cultures find it weird? The Science of Kissing dives into the nitty-grittty of kissing science and how we developed the modern kiss. Perfect for a science-obsessed, fact-based Valentine.
'Modern Love: 50 True and Extraordinary Tales of Desire, Deceit, and Devotion' edited by Daniel Jones
For any fans of the "Modern Love" column in The New York Times, this books collects 50 of the very best essays. From dating over text to unhappy marriages, unconventional "sharing" relationships to love in the midst of war, these true stories run the gamut of love in all of its many, many forms.
'The Lover's Dictionary' by David Levithan
If you have trouble putting love into words, you might want to read The Lover's Dictionary. It's a novel, cleverly constructed out of dictionary entries that piece together an entire love story. Halfway between poetry and contemporary romance, it's a book that explores all the different emotions that come with a passionate relationship.

We had a great day Saturday. So many things got done - one of my favorite kind of days. That kind AND the ones where we're totally rusticating. :>)
We ended the day with a drive to Corvallis. I love that drive - the back way. With autumn coming it'll just get better.
Once we arrived in town we realized that we'd picked one of their busier evenings to visit. The downtown sidewalks were full of happy groups of people of all ages, holding empty wine glasses in their hands. They were participating in the annual Rhapsody in the Vineyard Downtown Walk. Each person buys a wineglass that they take with them while they walk around to the local shops and try a different wine at each stop. What a great community event! I hope it catches on.
And so we were concerned about how busy American Dream Pizza/Crow Bar would be. Since the coveted roof was full with a 25 minute waiting list. We walked in to see if there was room to wait in the Crow Bar down the hall. Much to our surprise it was nearly empty. We decided on a pitcher of microbrew to drink while waiting, but when N went up to the bar to order the beer he was told that we could order our pizza, too. Time becomes more important than desired atmosphere when you have a 45 minute drive to get home, and so we decided to eat in the bar.
The longer we sat, the noiser it became, but it was gradual enough that we adjusted our voices to hear each other and even began to enjoy the happy din.
We ordered two medium pizzas; "Ska", with jerk chicken, feta, artichoke heart, roasted peppers, fresh tomato and a "Dream Special," with Italian sausage, Am bacon, mushroom, olive, tomato. Due to it's "irrisistableness", I think we order the Ska every visit. On top of their hearty crust, the strong, delicious flavor of the jerk chicken is a wonderful delight to the taste buds. Especially with the addition of feta, artichoke hearts and roasted peppers. I'm ready to go eat one of our few leftover slices after writing this! The Dream Special is a more traditional pizza for the less daring (we had one of those folks in our group of 4), but thanks to the excellent quality of the sausage and bacon it also has a delicious flavor - enough to stand up to the crust. We were enjoying each other's company so much that we ate more than we should've and so decided to take a walk around the downtown blocks. There were still many people out and about, but mostly gathered around the eating establishments that were still open. Everytime we visit Corvallis I tell myself I could easily live there with their bustling downtown, proximately to the coast and the extras provided to a community that is home to a university.

If you want to look out onto a yard full of Texas wildflowers this spring, start sowing wildflower seeds now. Yes, many varieties, such as bluebonnets, need to stay in the ground all winter to bloom in the spring. Depending on the type of flowers you want to grow, you may sow some seeds in the spring, but for the best results, get your garden trowel out now to get your yard spring ready.
Sowing Wildflower Seeds in the Texas Hill Country
We hate spam too, we'll never share your email address

Sowing wildflower seeds, such as bluebonnets means you need a lot of patience. In the wild, the seeds drop in the fall, where they grow underground until the spring when they burst into bright blue blooms. The hardest part is getting a bluebonnet patch started, but after you've planted those first bluebonnets, nature takes its course with sowing wildflower seeds naturally each year thereafter. Ideally, plant the seeds before Thanksgiving, and you will need to rub the seeds with sandpaper before sowing them. This breaks down the seed coat, allowing better germination. Scatter the seeds over bare soil and cover lightly with a maximum quarter-inch of soil. Keep the plot well-watered throughout the winter and enjoy your bluebonnets in the spring.
Indian Paintbrushes

If you're sowing wildflower seeds like bluebonnets, go ahead and plant Indian paintbrush seeds, too. Both flower seeds need to germinate in the ground after a winter of cold temperatures, and the Indian paintbrushes rely on the root systems of nearby plants such as bluebonnets for optimum growth.
Indian Blankets

Indian blankets have a bull's eye shape with many color bands around a center. Like bluebonnets, their seeds grow in well-drained soils and tolerate a variety of harsh conditions. Just sprinkle the seeds over the ground and cover lightly with topsoil. After a couple of weeks, the root should establish, allowing the plant to survive the winter and flower in the spring.

The classic novel The Woman In Black which was later adapted into a stage play as well as a made for TV movie has been remade with the help of Hammer Films and Alliance films. Originally set to be made in 3-D, it has been THANK GOD decided to be shot in 2-D. The story follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote village and sort out a recently deceased client's papers. As he works alone in the client's isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover tragic secrets, his unease growing when he glimpses a mysterious woman dressed only in black. Receiving only silence from the locals, Kipps is forced to uncover the true identity of the Woman in Black on his own, leading to a desperate race against time when he discovers her true identity.—Hammer Film Production
Harry Potter fandom aside, this actually looks pretty damn good and Daniel Radcliffe has proven time and time again that he's a much more complex actor and can do far better than just Harry Potter films.

Creative Visualization For Photographers
I have seen a lot of Mr. Sammon's work over the years and his new book, Creative Visualization, shows exactly why he has been so successful at what he does. The book contains a whole collection of subjects and covers how Sammons deals with them using his time-tested creative photo techniques. The easy-to-follow instructions cover everything from the first visualization to the post-processing to get the final image. The before and after illustrations also include screen captures of the software tool settings he used so you can see how the image progresses. This is really a master reference book on how to turn what could have been a so-so image into a prize winning image.
This soft cover book is about 9x11 inches, with 285 pages. Check web site for price. Distributed by Focal Press, at: www.focalpress.com

Yesterday, for the first time in weeks, I got dressed in real clothes: my too-big jeans and a sweater. I put on boots and make-up. I found out what the weather was like by feeling it against my skin, instead of asking my family as they swept in from their busy lives. (It was COLD, wonderfully, slap in the face cold.)
I was out in the world and life was good--even if my only destination was the doctor's office in Boston.
I enjoyed traveling through the snow squalls on the Cape. Even when my daughter-in-law, Nicola, took the wrong exit, we celebrated being lost--pointing out the architecture, and imagining how exciting it would be to live in some of the neighborhoods we passed.
"Someday, when everyone's on their own, I'd like to move to the city," I said, daring to imagine the future.
When we passed the river, Nicola said she particularly loved Boston because the Charles reminded her of the river that cut through her native Melbourne.
We also acknowledged that if we'd been with our spouses, we would have been enjoying the scenery less and blaming each other for screwing up the directions more...
We got there on time, but even if we hadn't, it would have been okay. Some days, I've sat in the waiting room for more than two hours before I heard my name called. It turned out yesterday was one of those days.
"Simply waiting" in the Cancer Center wasn't easy. The fifteen or twenty people who sat in chairs along the periphery all looked scared and tense. No one spoke. Furtively, I checked out them out, wondering what form of the disease they had, what their prognoses might be. Were they among the statistical numbers who would beat the disease? Was I?
The first day I visited, most of the patients were a generation older than I was. What was I doing there? I wondered. It wasn't fair. Then I spotted a woman who appeared to be about the age of my oldest son. Damn. Cancer WASN'T fair. It wasn't democratic. It just was.
I looked down and pretended to read People magazine.
This time, however, Nicola and I had eight month old Hank with us. How would an active, squirmy baby ever endure the kind of wait that drove adults to distraction? But it turned out that Hank found the spacious waiting room perfect for exploring on hands and knees, the coffee tables just the right height to walk around, and the seats filled with people he was eager to meet.
He started with those closest to us, and then, slowly (followed by his mum, of course) he extended his reach to everyone in the waiting room, transforming the atmosphere as he crawled around, babbling and smiling.
Strangers smiled back and called to him, "Over here, buddy." When he toppled over, people leaped up to make sure he was all right. Suddenly, Nicola and I weren't the only ones watching to make sure he didn't put anything in his mouth. Everyone in the room had his back.
Soon people were sharing stories about their children and grandchildren. When someone said that babies who don't crawl before they walk often have developmental delays later, a vigorous debate broke out.
Eventually, the conversation expanded. People discussed how far they'd traveled to get there, and worried that they'd get on the road before rush hour. A couple of men started to talk about sports.
We stopped being a bunch of solitary, anxious cancer patients, and became a room full of human beings. I forgot to think about how many paients had come in after me and heard their names called before me, or to look at my watch. What remained was the goodwill in that room, the outstretched hands, and the encouraging words to Hank when he took a couple of tentative steps between table and chair.
"Look! You're doing great. You can do it!"
On the way home, exhausted, but strangely elated, I wondered why it took a baby to release us from our fear and reveal our common humanity....
And why it took a life-threatening illness to make me realize that nothing is promised to me or to anyone else--not a single breath--that it's all a gift and I'd better savor every bit of it--even the missed exits, and the unexpected detours.

SIMPLY WAIT - a personal blog by writer Patry Francis
Yesterday, for the first time in weeks, I got dressed in real clothes: my too-big jeans and a sweater. I put on boots and make-up.

Lookout old guard food and drug companies, the surging cannabis industry is coming for your consumers.
"This industry [cannabis] is disrupting the pharmaceutical industry, cannabis is a threat to prescription based painkillers primarily opiods," explained Tilray (TLRY) CEO Brendan Kennedy in an interview with TheStreet. "It's definitely a threat to companies in the alcohol industry who see cannabis as a substitute -- it's also a threat to some of the functional food and beverage companies who don't look at THC as an ingredient but look at CBS as an ingredient in CBD water or CBD exercise or recovery drink."
Kennedy says people would be "surprised" by how many large companies, starved for growth in many cases, have looked at getting into the cannabis space. Wine and spirit giant Constellation Brands (STZ) was among the first to sniff out the opportunity in cannabis, spending $191 million in 2017 for a 9.9% stake in Canopy Growth.
Judging by the market's response to Tilray's IPO on Thursday, investors are betting a member of the old guard reaches out to the company very soon.
Shares of Tilray saw a scorching hot 31% gain on its first day of trading on the Nasdaq Composite

Where I believe that Webroot is a good product and has potential…
I negotiated in good faith for 3500 seats with 2 caveats (below) which I have with other MFG like GFI and other lines that I carry.
I pushed them before end year (before my first invoice) to sign my addendum. On 12/30/2014 Charlie Tomeo pleasantly and verbally refused to sign my conditions page, hence I canceled my PO.
So I have dropped them as a Vendor..
If you would like to carry their product, I can put you in touch with somebody there. In my opinion they want you to make 1 years' worth of income but they want all renewals, that unfortunately does not fit with my business model to have reoccurring revenue for not only you as a partner but myself
1) Term 1 year with optional (2) 1 year terms with no price adjustment upwards only down.
2) In the event one of our resellers or client decides to obtain from Webroot directly from your website or another vendor, Webroot will direct them back to MspPortal first for our verbal approval.
3) Lastly this statement that made me nervous was they added a change in terms when you log in to their GSM dashboard
" Subject to applicable law, Webroot may provide the Service from any hardware installation anywhere in the world and may, at any time, transfer the provision of the Service from one installation to another. Webroot does not guarantee that any such installation, or any part thereof, is or will be dedicated to Your sole use."
Keep in mind this is my experience you may have a different outcome. If they in writing will protect all MSP's Var's and Resellers, I would consider carrying their product again.

As a university student I know full well pressure and stress that comes hand in hand with a degree. Ask any university student and you'll find that this is often unavoidable. However, something I have learnt in my time as a student, is that there are many different ways to handle the pressure you may feel!
1. Be organised
If there is one thing I've learnt over the years, it's that if you are organised, you are less likely to feel under pressure. Of course this is not to say that you will never feel the pressure of looming deadlines, but keeping a diary of all of your hand in dates, lecture times and mapping out a plan of study to ensure you spend equal time on all of your modules, will keep you on track and up to date.
2. Ask questions
As daunting as it may seem, raising your hand in a lecture or seminar to ask a question is extremely beneficial and will help you handle pressure with work. An unknown answer can often be the root of pressure; however, you can easily demolish this. You will more than likely find that you were not the only person wanting the answer and so whilst helping yourself, you'll also be helping others.
3. Prioritise your time
Between university work, social time and a part time job you'll find that hours easily add up and you'll often find yourself needing more than 24 hours in a day! Prioritising your time to the things that need doing first and foremost will help you stay somewhat calm. As deadlines approach, make a list of tasks that can be classed as quick wins and tasks that need more time. Completing the quick wins will help remove the pressure of smaller tasks, giving you more free time to ensure everything else is done. If you know what days you work (if you have a part time job) you can fill in university work and social time around working days and days in university.
4. Talk to someone
Whether it's a friend, course mate, tutor or family member, talking to someone about the pressure you feel will help to lift a weight off your shoulder. Talking to course mates, you'll often find that you aren't the only one feeling under pressure and that others feel exactly how you do. Knowing this, you can work together and help each other beat the pressure. Talking to a family member or friend will often find you advice, whilst talking to a tutor will help enormously as they will be able to guide you and point you in the right direction.
5. Enjoy yourself
Whether we realise it or not, we are actually the biggest cause of the pressure we feel. Student life can be overwhelming at times and quite often we will give ourselves a to-do list longer than our arms. What we need to remember is that university should be enjoyed too. Joining a society, going out with friends or doing
something we truly love, will help relieve a lot of the pressure we put ourselves under.

Canada: Federal Skilled Trades Program
2 comments:
Don't get people all excited. Applicants have to sit IELTS and get an average score of 5 for each of the 4 sections. Shouldn't be too difficult for Singaporeans who have had up to sec 4 education, but it's still a test that cost S$300+ (maybe more now), and Singaporeans usually don't like tests.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi CK,Delete
Wow, you've even drilled into the details!
IMHO, got chance better than no chance -- Singaporeans usually don't like tests, but somehow they often ace (or at least do comparatively well) at fixed format tests which can be practised, e.g. the IELTS!
Actual details from this webpage. Required CLB (Canadian test) level 5 for speaking and listening and 4 for reading and writing. IELTS equivalent is: 5.0 Listening, 3.5 Reading, 4.0 Writing, 5.0 Speaking.
Actually, IMHO, the harder criteria to meet is "have an offer of full-time employment for a total period of at least one year** or a certificate of qualification in that skilled trade issued by a provincial or territorial body".
Cheers, WD.

As of Thursday, just eight case workers were investigating Harrison County child abuse complaints. Two years ago, the county had nearly three times that amount.
Because of the staffing shortage, DHS regional director Zadie Rogers was asked if Harrison County children were still being protected the way they should be. And she gave a candid answer. "No," Rogers admitted. "I would have to say no, not the way they should be."
Just when it looked like Mississippi had taken a step forward to reduce social worker case loads, DHS lost three more Harrison County child abuse investigators. Each member of Zadie Rogers' staff now handles an average of 128 cases. "I do think we are doing a very good job in this county with the number of people we have," she said.
That may be true. But at this lunch meeting, child care advocates once again pointed out that eight investigators weren't enough to protect all Harrison County children. Freida Kaletsch is a PACT member. "We're frustrated and disappointed that the children still aren't getting the services and the help and the protection that they should have," she said.
For the last 19 months, the ladies with PACT -- Professional Advocating Children Together -- have begged and pleaded with state leaders to find money and hire more Harrison County social workers. In February, PACT's pressure seemed to work. The state came up with $1.1 million, specifically to recruit new social workers.
When the Harrison County staff grew to 11, PACT became less vocal. Now that it's back to eight, PACT wants its voice, and the voice of children to be heard loud and clear. "We're going to assist and continue to keep the public informed," Kaletsch said. "Because the children can't do it. So we have to do it for them."
At the legislative budget hearing, DHS executives said they spent just $86,000 of the one point one million dollars earmarked for recruiting. And they admitted that just eight of 19 understaffed counties got the social worker assistance they needed.
DHS is asking lawmakers to put an extra $14 million in next year's budget. Some of that money would be used to help the family and children's services division.

For the past 30 days, I shared excerpts from Dancing Alone: Learning to Live Again. I wrote during the height of grieving not knowing if I'd ever find a way through. It's now nearly three years since Babe died. I wish grieving on no one; yet, grieving waits for each of us on our journey. It's not a pleasant thought. I'm happy I didn't know what it felt like before it happened. As tough as it is, grieving has been a great teacher. Here are 10 lesson I learned on this journey.
- Everyone has scars, don't compare.
- Everyone who grieves, hurts. Don't judge anyone.
- It doesn't matter if you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jew, Buddhist, Agnostic, Atheist, or other, it hurts like hell. Anyone who grieves deserves compassion.
- Unpack all the good memories and be grateful for each one.
- Live each day as if it is the only day you have.
- Life isn't fair, don't worry about it.
- Life is a wonderful gift, don't waste it.
- There is no answer to why, so don't waste time looking for an answer.
- Don't wait to be loved by others, reach out and connect and keep on connecting.
- Life wins. Love wins. Never quit. Never give up.
There are many other lessons, but these quickly come to mind. I'm grateful for the time Babe and I had together. I'm grateful for the space in which I find myself. I'm going to keep on living, keep on smiling, and keep on singing.

Helmut v. Mueller Limited Partnership v. Treanor
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the district court affirming the decision of the Wyoming State Board of Equalization (state) reversing the decision of the Washakie County Board of Equalization (county board) reversing the valuations of the Washakie County Assessor classifying Taxpayers' four properties as either residential or vacant residential for tax purposes, holding that Taxpayers' property did not qualify for classification as agricultural lands. Taxpayers separately owned four parcels of land in Washakie County, Wyoming. In March 2014, the Assessor issued notices of assessment for Taxpayers' properties classifying the parcels as either residential or residential vacant. The county board reversed the valuations, concluding that Taxpayers had demonstrated that their properties met the four requirements under Wyo. Stat. Ann. 39-13-103(b)(x)(B) to be taxed as agricultural land. The state board reversed. The district court affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Taxpayers failed to meet their burden to overcome the presumption in favor of the Assessor's assessments. View "Helmut v. Mueller Limited Partnership v.

Movement disorders are group of neurological conditions in which there is either excessive voluntary or involuntary movement or reduced movement without any significant paralysis. Movement disorders can originate from dysfunction of brain, spinal cord, or nervous system throughout the body. All the three control almost all types of functions of body including involuntary as well as voluntary such as breathing, speech, walking, moving, swallowing etc.
There are hundreds of movement disorders, and most of them are caused due to genetics, injury, tumor in brain, infection in nervous system, external toxins, metabolic conditions etc.
Patients suffering from movement disorders can experience several symptoms which include tremor, jerks, spasm, tics, dystonia, chorea etc. Treatment of movement disorder is aimed at correcting the underlying cause. The resultant effect will depend on the type of movement disorder and its underlying cause.
What Are The Causes Of Movement Disorders?
Movement disorder is a neurological condition. The disorder mainly affects the quality of movement, its speed and smoothness. The pathophysiology basically lies in the brain especially in the area called basal ganglia.
There are several causative factors that may lead to movement disorder:
- Genetic: A defect in certain genes can be inherited from parents. The best example is Huntington's disease. In this condition patient has movement disorder due to defect in the 4th chromosome.
- Degenerative diseases of brain: The best example is Parkinson's disease. In this condition, particular cells in basal ganglia are reduced. Their function is to produce dopamine which acts as a chemical messenger between the brain cells. Mostly the disease is genetically oriented. But sometimes exposure to pesticides and heavy minerals for a long time can produce this condition.
- Alcohol consumption can cause abnormal movement. It may cause loss of balance and coordination.
- Stress and anxiety is known to produce abnormal movement. It mainly produces tremors, change in voice etc.
- Certain drugs are known to cause movement disorder. In some people this may be a side effect of certain drugs such as phenothiazine, haloperidol or lithium. All the mentioned are antipsychotic medications that are meant to treat psychiatric illnesses. Sometimes anti vomiting medicines such as metoclopramide can also produce extra pyramidal symptoms.
- Infections: Viral infections such as encephalitis, Japanese B encephalitis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis can cause movement troubles.
Most Common Type Of Movement Disorders
Movement disorder can manifest in several different types. They can be hyperkinetic, hypokinetic. Hyperkinetic movement includes tremor, chorea, athetosis, myoclonus, tics, dyskinesias. During sleep, movement disorder symptoms vanish.
- Tremor: It is most common movement disorder. It can be defined as involuntary, repetitive, regular, shaking of the body part about a fixed axis. Tremor can occur during rest as in case of Parkinson's tremor. Postural tremors can occur when the body is against gravity. Anxiety, caffeine intake, too much fatigue can lead to such tremors. Patient often complains of difficulty in writing, pouring tea into the cup, holding an object etc.
- Tics: They are twitches occurring in group of muscles. They occur repeatedly. Tics usually occur in areas of head, eyes, neck, and upper extremities.
- Dystonia: Dystonia develops as a sustained contraction of muscle frequently leading to twisting and repetitive movement. It can affect single part of body such as eyelids, upper limb as writer's cramp, face and mouth. It causes involuntary closing of eyelids and blinking.
- Dysphonia: In this type the muscles involved in voice production move abnormally. This may cause hoarse, quirky, and jerky voice.
- Atxia: In ataxia the regular movement such as walking and running is affected. There is loss of coordination and balance.
- Chorea: The word chorea is derived from Greek word meaning 'dance'. In this type of movement disorder, there is irregular, unpredictable, jerky, movement pass on from one part of body to another.
- Athetosis: Slow and uncontrollable movement of limbs.
- Rigidity: In this type the muscles become extremely rigid, especially when the affected part of body usually any limb is pulled with force.
Treatment For Movement Disorders
There are many types of movement disorders. Each may need separate attention. However, most of the movement disorders have same medications.
- Medications used are: Anticonvulsants, beta blockers, tranquilizers, dopamine agonists.
- Patient may need medicines to alleviate depression and certain obsessive compulsive disorder.
- Most important is proper intake of nutrition and diet. In some cases where swallowing is difficult, food may be given in soft pureed form. Repeated suction from mouth will prevent increased amount of mucus.
- Speech therapy, physical therapy is beneficial.
- Acupressure and acupuncture is also beneficial.

This review of The Company of Players production of All My Sons in October 1998 is by Sylvia Pepper
Most of the key events in the plot of All My Sons have already happened before the play begins, so what we see on stage takes the form of the gradual uncovering of an already existing situation. This presents a challenge to the actors: the performances must be subtly layered, so that we believe in these people, not only during the early, low-key, moments of the play, but also as we gradually become aware of the burden of the secret carried by each of them. However much he tries to repress it, Joe Keller must live constantly with the knowledge of what he has done; Chris, his upright son, 'almost knows'; Ann literally brings her evidence of what really happened to Larry into the house with her when she arrives, and, most poignantly of all, Kate carries a terrible dual burden: 'Your brother's alive, darling, because if he's dead, your father killed him'.
This production was blessed with actors who, through their actions and reactions, brought the gradual revelation of the family's dark secret starkly to life. David Senton as Joe, the ordinary man pushed by his own weakness and the pressures of the situation into committing an unforgivable act, was quite outstanding. He simply inhabited the role. His portrayal of the character was fully rounded, from the carefully observed external details - the way he spoke, laughed, moved, sharpened his knife, ate an apple - to his complete understanding of what was going on inside the man. Early in the play we saw his ingenuousness and his warmth towards his family and the child, Bert. And all this subtly underpinned the power of his performance at the play's climax when he tried, with his own predicament in mind, to convince Ann that 'a father is a father' and went on to make his final, futile, attempts to justify what he had done.
Carol Monzeglio, in the part of Kate Keller, showed us both the warm and loving wife and mother she had been, and the tense, volatile creature she had become, edgily snapping the beans she was preparing and fiddling nervously with the leaves that the wind had blown from Larry's tree.
The character of Chris, Keller's surviving son is full of ambivalence, and David Maxwell succeeded in showing us a man who desperately wanted to love and respect his father but who knew, just subliminally, that this was not quite possible. His reactions to others as he watched the secrets being gradually uncovered were well conveyed, as were his own telling moments. The children of Keller's imprisoned partner were played by Shelagh Ryan, who gave us an intelligent and sensitive portrayal of Ann and Andrew Howell in the challenging role of her brother, George. This character first appears half way through the play and has, in a relatively short time, to establish firstly his determination to redeem his father's wronged reputation, and then the partial disintegration of this resolve as he is overcome by the seductiveness of his childhood attachments to the place and its people. This was a very fine performance, which handled this difficult transition most convincingly.
The neighbours all added a feeling of reality to the unfolding story, two of them making significant impressions - Ray Newton as the observant doctor whose own small tragedy made him more perceptive and tolerant about all that was happening next door, and Bert, played by William Duerdon, whose wide-eyed, unsullied innocence provided an eloquent contrast to the unfolding horrors.
The vital authenticity brought to this production by such an effective company of actors was superbly complemented by the backstage team. Miller's stage directions demand attention to detail and there was clear evidence of this in every department.
The set achieved that magic combination of looking good and being functionally effective, and was further enhanced by lighting which was both unobtrusive and attractive. (Didn't that ivy look wonderful?) The programme indicated that the largest backstage team was the one dedicated to props and set dressing, and this showed. The place looked real and lived in. The leaves scattered in the yard at the start of the play gave it the right feel and added credence to the fact that the wind had just broken Larry's tree….There is a single textual reference to Chris playing golf so there, on the porch, were the clubs, in period of course…I could go on, but these examples will have to do.
If one of the great strengths of this production was the way in which both period and location were so admirably captured, the wardrobe department must also be congratulated. The clothes, from the wonderful dresses and seamed stockings to Joe's shabby lived-in garments all added credibility, as did the carefully created hairstyles.
The music was well chosen, from the upbeat Glen Miller at the start to the more sombre notes which captured just the right mood during the tense transition between Acts Two and Three.
There is no doubt that this was a fine evening of theatre so, if I have any reservations, about what I saw, I feel I should present them tentatively:
This is a powerful play with strongly drawn characters and yours is an intimate theatre. Given this combination, might it have been interesting to experiment with doing just a bit less occasionally; with risking a little less movement or expression; with trusting the eloquence of the emotions coming from within the characters?
Having said that, I wondered if one or two moments which involved the need for real physicality were slightly too tentative. Shouldn't that slap have been delivered with more conviction, for example, or the pummelling of Joe by a totally distraught Chris? And I wonder if the tension of the George/Ann scene would have been greater if they hadn't been so far apart for most of it.
Miller asks for some garden furniture stage right, and this was often effectively used, but it did mean that when Joe was placed centre stage for an important speech, he was uncomfortably positioned when addressing people seated at the table.
The marvellously efficient stage management was notable only by its absence - except once, during the Act Two/Three transition when two figures came on to strike the glasses etc. Since this was the only time we ever saw them and since, for me, their appearance was rather distracting at a highly dramatic moment, I wondered if the glasses couldn't have been removed by one of the cast towards the end of Act Two.
Quibbles aside, this was powerful theatre. The word that keeps occurring to me when thinking about both performances and setting is 'authentic'. Miller wrote and rewrote this play, conscientiously removing anything that he considered over-theatrical, anything that detracted from its realism. I think he would have approved of the spirit of this production.

Prosecutors detain Choi Soon Sil's niece
Olivia Jung, Nov. 18, 2016, 9:21 a.m.
As part of a widening probe into the Choi Soon-sil scandal, state prosecutors Friday detained Chang Si-ho, Choi's niece, in Seoul, on charges of embezzling funds from a sports foundation she allegedly controlled.
There have been allegations that the Korea Winter Sports Elite Center was established for Choi and Chang to pocket profits amid the country's preparation for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
A number of former and current government officials have been grilled by prosecutors over suspicions of giving unlawful favors to the foundation, set up in June 2015.
Chang, the 36-year-old daughter of Choi's elder sister Soon-deuk, is considered another key figure in the multifaceted scandal.
Choi, President's Park's friend for 40 years, is accused of a wide range of irregularities, such as using her ties to the leader to win favors for her family and close associates.

I might be in the minority here, but I find that little unrealistic details bother me above all else. So my biggest complaint about the finale isn't how dragged out it was (that's my number 2 complaint) but the time jump from night to day. It's not super unrealistic, it can definitely be explained away, and quite easily, but the way it was done was jarring for me.
In S6 finale we have TF venturing into the woods because Eugene suggests "They do not know the minute to minute occupancy of said rust bucket and the sun is setting soon". They are captured after that, but as a viewer I was in the frame of mind that it was just after sundown. Then it couldn't be more than 20 minutes until the Lucille happens and Rick is dragged away in the aftermath. Then they drive and... it's morning. That was very jarring to me, I was not expecting the night to have passed so fast. Maybe the drive was a lot longer than it seemed, maybe it was already really late when they were captured. BUT WAIT IT'S GIMPLE. He never cared about any of that stuff, he probably just thought the bridge scene would look better in the daylight.
Very petty, I know, but it is honestly small details like that which really capture my attention. The practical things - if people get them wrong, it really takes me out of the story.
What did they do in that clearing while Negan was gone with Rick? Did the Saviours just stand still with their guns pointed? Did TF stay kneeling the whole time? What happened if one of them had to pee? One of them would HAVE to pee. Do you think Simon escorted them into the woods to a good spot or just make them peepee in their pants? Were there card games? So many questions that will never be answered :(

Our copy of the John and Yoko Wedding Album arrived today – but if there's anyone who is entitled to do an unboxing video of the box set contents, it's this guy:
Imagine you woke up one day and there were no Beatles.
No one you speak to has ever heard of them, and there are no references to the band or their songs online, in music stores, libraries, or anywhere. But….you can remember them clearly, and you know how to play their songs.
That's the premise of an interesting new comedy movie coming out later this year called Yesterday. It comes from Danny Boyle (who directed Slum Dog Millionaire and Trainspotting), and Richard Curtis (the writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually).
Jack (played by Himesh Patel) is a struggling singer-songwriter who dreams of making it big, but his career is going nowhere. His biggest supporter is his best friend, Ellie (Lily James). Then, something mysterious happens. During some sort of global electrical blackout, Jack gets hit by a bus and wakes up to discover that The Beatles have never existed. Only thing is, he remembers them clearly, starts to perform their songs, and from there things really start to get interesting….
Yesterday looks like it will be real fun for Beatle fans. It is due in movie theatres on June 28.
There's another Beatle-themed turntable out there:
Turntable manufacturer Pro-Ject Audio Systems, in association with Universal Music, has launched a Beatles White Album model to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of the legendary recording.
Based on a Pro-Ject 2Xperience SB model, the limited White Album version really is all-white, down to the platter, tonearm, switch gear, and even a specially produced white-bodied Ortofon 2M cartridge pre fitted at the factory:The company now has seven Beatle-related record players: the Yellow Submarine model; two Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band models (in Drum and Limited Edition versions); a Beatles 1964 edition; a George Harrison turntable , and now a Ringo Starr "Peace and Love" turntable as well:
The Beatles White Album turntable is limited to 500 pieces worldwide. It looks to have a limited edition number stamped on it, just like the original LP covers did back in 1968, but it's not clear if these are individual or not:The Pro-Ject White Album Limited Edition is up at the higher end of Pro-Ject's turntable offerings and retails for US$1799 (and in Australia for $2699). You can read the official press release here.
For some reason or other our Ringo Starr collection has grown exponentially over the last couple of weeks….
For a long time we've had an Australian pressing of his 1976 outing, Ringo's Rotogravure:
Below is the rear cover of the Australian pressing. US readers will note that the track listing for Side Two is five tracks instead of six. That's because it is missing the short song, 'Spooky Weirdness': 'Spooky Weirdness' is however listed on the inner bag liner notes:
Like the rest of the world, this album came out housed in a gatefold sleeve. Here's how it looks:
And here are the Australian labels. Note no 'Spooky Weirdness' listed on Side Two here either, and that the record company is different to the US release. The LP was issued Down Under on Polydor:
So anyway, we were picking around the bins at a favourite local second hand store when we randomly came across some variations of this LP.
First up was the aforementioned US pressing. It has the exact same front cover image, but there are few details on the rear cover that differ to the Australian: Note the Atlantic logo bottom left (above); a pink box at the bottom for the record company details/place of manufacture; and 'Spooky Weirdness' is listed on the track list for Side Two. The label is the famous green and red Atlantic Records too: Then, further into the bin, we noticed two more distinctly different pressings of this same title. First was a fairly rare budget edition that only ever came out in Australia. It was in really good condition and is on the now defunct Rainbow label. (You can find it listed on page 27 of this document):
The gatefold sleeve inside is printed in a much lighter blue to the original Australian and US releases:Because it's a budget release there is no inner bag with the lyrics, but it is on a Rainbow Records label:Sitting just behind the Rainbow re-issue was an original New Zealand pressing of Rotogravure. Again, it has the exact same front cover image to the Australian and US pressings. Only the rear is a little different: And the labels (also on Polydor) mention "Made in New Zealand" – its in the small print at top left:
Lastly, a Canadian pressing of Ringo's Bad Boy LP (from 1978) popped up in the bins as well.
As you can see, it's a little beat up (writing on the cover; 'cut out' hole bottom left; foxing to the rear cover and inner bag from age, etc.), but worth grabbing at $5.00:
So, not one – but four additions from the Ringo Starr back catalogue end up in our collection.
As usual, click on any of the images above to see larger versions.
More adventures in collecting Beatle records soon.
Here's a release to look out for in November – a newly recorded disc of music composed by the late Sir George Martin.
Called The Film Scores and Original Music of George Martin this gathers together a cross-section of works illustrating his musical genius – some for the very first time: The music is performed by The Berlin Music Ensemble, under the baton of US-born producer, composer and arranger, Craig Leon who is the driving force behind the project.
"When I was going through it, I was just struck by the elegance of the composition and how much they fit the era that I grew up in music, and again made me think how much I wouldn't have even had the life I had if George Martin hadn't done what he did," Leon said. "He bridged the gap between an interpretive producer and a creative producer, which was the thing that I wanted to do."
The recording will be out on November 10 on CD and digital download on the Atlas Realisations label. Then, in January 2018 to celebrate George Martin's birthday, a 2LP vinyl edition will also be released.
The track listing:
And here's a short background video featuring Craig Leon talking about how the project evolved:
We love the music of George Martin. See also:
Produced by George Martin – New DVD/Blu-Ray
It is best known as the mixing desk used to record Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, but this Abbey Road Studios EMI TG12345 MK IV Recording Console was also used by Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr on various solo projects between 1971-1983:
The TG12345 MK IV, formerly housed in the famous Abbey Road Studio 2, is now up for sale as "Lot 35" in an upcoming Bonhams Auction event featuring a wealth of collectable rock music items. The console comes with letters concerning its provenance, including one from Ken Townsend, Abbey Road Studio manager at the time and future Chairman. Townsend worked with The Beatles as an engineer on numerous albums over the years. There's a great little film about him here.
The auction will take place in New York on March 27. Click here for more details.
There was a fair bit of interest last week in the George Harrison Pro-Ject Essential III turntable, announced in conjunction with the big vinyl box set out on 24 February. It will retail for £429.00:
However, there was less of a hullaballoo just last December when Pro-Ject also announced a similar Beatle-themed turntable – a decorated Debut Carbon Esprit SB retailing in the USA, only at Best Buy stores, for US$599.00 (that's about £483.00):
The general consensus online is that the Beatle artwork used for this one is fairly drab. It's meant to commemorate the historic 1964 U.S. tour, with ticket stubs from the legendary tour dotted across the plinth.
By the way, the Pro-Ject Essential III in non-Harrison form sells for a suggested retail price of £279.00, and you can read more about its features here.
The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB in non-Beatle form sells for around £449.00, and you can read more about its features here.
