This latest find is the direct result of a little blog scanning, so credit where credit is due for one of our self-nominated parallel blogs, Pretty Much Amazing, with whom we share many ideals. They in turn located the band from We All Want Someone, another excellent kindred journal. You see, there's this kind of primeval hunter/gatherer service that's going on for you with us bloggers. We love music, we go out and get music, we bring back music, you devour it. Well, I guess in this case, we let others go out and grab it, then we devoured it ourselves and we're now handing you the already digested leftovers. Um, not quite so nice. We digress. Where were we? Oh yeah, The Tins are bloody fantastic! A three piece out of Buffalo who might just have wandered into our new favourite band category with ease. They've been together for several years, having formed at college, and they've clearly spent that time properly tackling their instruments and more importantly wrestling their sound into a perfect submission, that's now ready to be released as a self-titled five track EP. Tight, masterfully layered jams, that build and fold into honest, captivating tracks such as these are actually very rare. Spending a little time gliding through the tracks available on their Myspace was as about as rewarding as a Californian road trip in a soft top, as full of sunshine and musical vistas as you're likely to find anywhere this year. There's several enjoyable sections within the songs, that work hard at not only finding a fantastic refrain, but keeping it going as long as the listener wants it to. Oh just another eight bars of this please, Yes! It's not just the high standards on show that impresses, but the sheer consistency that's so astonishing. High praise for a band that's totally aiming high. Let's hope for some more blog regurgitation to help raise awareness of this awesome find. (MB)

Hear them here: THE TINS – THE GREEN ROOM
We never got to hear of these guys when they had their first punt on the industry back in 2007, releasing their debut album, Messages, on XL Records. The album launched into it's pacey 80s synth tirade from the outset, rolling through various catchy but ultimately prosaic hooks. The 'trying too hard' signs were flashing, but within their neon walls there was evidence that life could still be located. So after a brief hiatus, they're back and this time seemingly not struggling quite so much, which initially looks like it's allowed their tunes to improve. The synth glitz is toned down and the 80s references, although still abundant, aren't quite so sickly. Keeping the punches and the hooks that previously worked, the tracks now have more variety and range, with a clever maturity and plenty to enjoy in each song. It seems it was perhaps a worthy hiatus then. Well, before we leap into a barrage of adjectives, there's a couple of minor irritations. The lyrics are in a generous need of repair, never talking about anything much, with dull subjects such as horizons and pylons (!). However, lyrics are often harder to attack as we're sure they mean something to the writer, just not the rest of us. It's also worth noting that this isn't music that aims for your inner intellect, it's for your smile, or your feet. Tracks such as Us & The Wind, certainly blow enough breeze to drift in through an open window, while tunes such as The Grid turn it up and will turn you on as a result. This seems to be a band with ideas and the odd clever trick, but who equally fall into the cliché trap when they try too hard. A classic case of learning how enjoyable it is to cruise when you take your foot off the pedals a little. Their new album, The Habitable Zone, is due out in May. Whether they learn to go for the smooth ride, or continue to put their foot down, at least the signs now suggest they're driving in the right direction. (MB)

Hear them here: TO MY BOY – US & THE WIND
At first glance this is yet another slice of the synth pop cake that blogs serve up until you vomit. Indeed this isn't going to be for anyone who's tired of this current trend, but there's actually a lot of soul found on show here and that should hold your attention. We should also mention that anyone reading this who was a teen or older during the 80s will likely feel this is a little too familiar, with it's direct Lionel Richie descendancy. A bloodline that doesn't quite get the edgy, artistic, experimental side of our brains fizzing in all honesty, but who cares if all you want to do sometimes is indeed dance upon the ceiling. The synths are on show and the cartoon basslines, although sticky as a spoon lost in the sugar jar, reliably jump the tracks along from one hopped beat to the next. We notice that this new duo, born from one half of the double act BoyGirl, are from Boston, which makes us think of Yes Giantess and the whole Neon Gold crew, who always adored that distant Miami-fuelled decade, as if the 1980s were one long, fantastic cocaine party with Kevin Bacon. The music on show with these two, although as defiant as Yes Giantess' sexually-charged synths, is actually more akin to Kinema, who come from, um, our home town of Brighton, UK. Oh well. This is strawberry milkshake pop music, with songs that select the only subjects that this style could: partying and girls. The more you hear the track, Let's Go Together, which usefully just got picked up by Kitsune for their latest tastemaking compilation album, (number 9), the more you are lured in. Resistance is pretty much useless and, like all the best forays into the 80s, the second you hold back from enjoying it the sharper your pretentiousness comes into focus, and that's never nice. Put on your most fearless smile and enjoy this simple, but entrancing piece of funky, soulfully-vocalised pop.

Lower respiratory tract bleeding reported in 2009 pandemic flu patients
Influenza should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who have hemoptysis (coughing of blood) or other signs or symptoms of lower respiratory tract hemorrhage (LRTH), say the authors of a study published today in Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses. LRTH has been reported in connection with past flu pandemics and occurs rarely with seasonal influenza. Using state and local surveillance records and reports from the Emerging Infections Program and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Infectious Diseases Pathology Branch for the period from April 2009 to April 2010, the authors identified 44 patients who had 2009 H1N1 pandemic flu and evidence of pneumonia and LRTH. The median time from illness onset to clinical signs or LRTH was 1 day. Hemoptysis or respiratory tract bleeding was documented in 40% of cases; 21 (48%) of patients with LRTH had no other hemorrhagic diatheses. Antiviral treatment was administered within 2 days of illness onset in seven patients (23%). The authors state that because of the rapid progression of LRTH, empiric antiviral therapy may be justified in affected patients.

Some polio vaccination continues as 9th polio worker is killed in Pakistan
Polio immunization efforts in Lahore in eastern Pakistan are proceeding under armed guard while vaccination efforts in other parts of the country have been shut down because of the murders of nine immunization workers in a coordinated anti-vaccine effort, the Associated Press (AP) reported today. The number of workers killed has increased in the past two days by three, after six deaths were reported Dec 18. Six of the workers killed have been women, three of them teens, and two others are critically injured, the AP said. The Taliban has denied responsibility for the deaths in spite of past vocal opposition to polio vaccine efforts. About 6,000 workers were being escorted by 3,000 police officers in a province-led effort in Lahore, even though the United Nations officially suspended its entire Pakistan vaccination campaign yesterday. Sarah Crowe, a spokeswoman for the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), said the UN vaccination program will not resume until a government investigation is completed, according to an AP story yesterday. "This is undoubtedly a tragic setback, but the campaign to eradicate polio will and must continue," she said. The Taliban has accused vaccination workers of being US spies and has claimed that the polio vaccine renders kids sterile. The group also objects to US drone strikes in Pakistan. Opposition grew last year when the CIA faked a hepatitis vaccination campaign to try to obtain DNA from residents of Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad.

Three avian flu strains found in Chinese pigs
Three strains of avian-origin influenza that have not been reported previously in pigs have been identified in swine in southern China, according to a study in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology. Although pigs have been infected experimentally with all avian flu subtypes, natural transmission is rare. Samples were collected in 2010 through 2012 from 1,080 pigs aged 21 to 25 weeks and tested for H3, H4, H5, and H6 subtypes of avian flu virus as well as for H1 and H3 subtypes of swine influenza. Results were positive for H1N1 and H3N2 swine flu in 35% and 19.7% of serum samples and for H3, H4, and H6 avian flu in 0.93%, 1.6%, and 1.8% of samples, respectively. The researchers also retrospectively analyzed 550 samples taken from apparently healthy pigs in 2001 in the same geographic area and found no samples positive for any of these viruses, so transmission was considered recent. The findings are important in terms of potential pandemic flu virus generation because of pigs' role as intermediate hosts ("mixing vessels") in genetic reassortment of avian and human flu viruses.

States report TB drug shortage
Seven states have reported a shortage of a key tuberculosis (TB) drug, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said today. According to an update in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), Illinois TB officials first reported a shortage of 300-milligram (mg) tablets of isoniazid (INH). Since then, California, Indiana, Maryland, New York, Virginia, and Wisconsin, among other programs, also have reported shortages, including difficulties obtaining IsonaRif (made by VersaPharm), one of the commercially available anti-TB combinations of rifampin and INH. INH and rifampin are the two most important drugs used to treat TB disease and latent TB infection (LTBI), the CDC said. The shortage of 300-mg INH tablets requires an increase in daily dosage for TB disease from 11 to 13 tablets and for LTBI from 1 to 3 tablets. Of the three US suppliers of INH, Teva reported low inventory and a possible backorder of INH 300 mg because of a shipping delay, Sandoz reported a shortage of the active ingredient from its supplier and estimates it will be able to fill orders for INH 100 mg and 300 mg in late January, and VersaPharm estimated it will be able to fill orders yet this month. At least one alternative INH-rifampin combination, Rifamate (Sanofi-Aventis), is available.

North-central Iowa couple killed in crash
IOWA FALLS (AP) — Authorities say a north-central Iowa couple have been killed in a crash at an intersection near Iowa Falls.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that 63-year-old Kevin Barz and his wife, 49-year-old Julia Barz, of Hampton, were pronounced dead at the scene of the Friday night crash at the intersection of U.S. Highway 65 and a county road.
Investigators say Kevin Barz was driving a sport utility vehicle on the county road and failed to stop at the intersection. The Barz's SUV was hit by a pickup truck driven by a 16-year-old boy. The boy and two other teens in the truck were injured and taken to an Iowa Falls hospital for treatment.

Most people seem to miss one minute detail each time they're transforming their properties. Many occasions a remodeling contractor will add on a share to the estimates of the various corporations concerned to cover the cost of the time it'll take to make sure they are doing the job right and coordinating every part. If there are young kids in the house, you will have to plan for locks on some cupboards or drawers in the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and the storage.
Bathroom transforming is a superb thought to rework an ugly, barely-useful rest room right into a more purposeful and delightful place so as to add magnificence and beauty to your private home for years to return and freshen up your life each day. Sometimes including a different look to the outside of your house may give you a unique, and extra comfy feel.
Start with curb enchantment by cleansing up and cutting again foliage (or including vegetation, if needed), and a formidable front door helps a lot. Dormer windows in the attic create additional room for storage, but are fairly useful in a house remodeling undertaking where maximizing house is a precedence.
The associated fee factor shall rely upon the dimensions of transforming undertaking. Replacement projects typically outperform remodeling projects anyways as a consequence of their comparatively low cost (a alternative venture is any reworking undertaking completed underneath $18,000).
House Building
There are various tasks involved in home remodeling that I do not look ahead to. Removing plaster and lathe is one of them. Residence transforming supplies the comforts of a brand new fashionable dwelling in the same area. The Demand: If homes within the area have an excellent observe report of selling, likelihood is you will recoup most of the money on your transforming efforts. This especially tends to be true of including a second story to a ranch home and making a extra substantial or placing architectural assertion when viewed from the street.
It is laborious to make a decision and stick with it when you understand it's a must to dwell with it for a very long time, however during a remodel, it's best if you happen to attempt to hold issues the way you had them planned. Nonetheless, if anybody needs to offer a complete make-over to his home, the project would value much greater.
Base Shoe Molding
Once you get ready for you rework your contractor will almost definitely go over precisely what you need to use the house for and will work to make your new room value each penny to create.
Slowly however surely, the housing market is on the rebound. Frank Lloyd Wright, a 20th century American architect, not solely produced an array of unique buildings, but typically furnished them, believing that interior design was an integral a part of the overall architectural plan. Go forward with your home reworking if the house renovation prices is 30{d846f6fb26d46c7a5a9ebff5a7e1227f98561abf6b7a1a55c17348b5f24e862b} or less of your home market worth.
Loos usually are the smallest rooms in the home but yet probably the most difficult and, subsequent to the kitchen, the most expensive to remodel. You need to consider yourself as being the general remodeling contractor and discover electricians, plumbers, cupboard installers, and counter top installers which might be trustworthy, ethical, efficient, competent and honest in worth.
I believed I took sufficient footage of a home renovation challenge that I used to be working on to fulfill any building inspector, only to find out that I wanted extra pictures after the job was finished, to find a problem that we had been having with the plumbing.
One must also contemplate the funds for house improvement particularly since a home improvement project would possibly contain a lot cash depending on how sophisticated or easy the planned renovation is. Nicely if you're out of funds, essentially the most sensible method is proposing a home enchancment or renovation challenge.
Home Improvement Loans
Most contractors don't like to listen to the phrases constructing permits or building department. When deciding on how much cash you want to make investments in your house remodeling venture the situation of your home is essential. While home remodeling can be an costly affair, it's cheap as compared to buying a new home. There are numerous internet sites and message boards where folks share their experiences of dwelling remodeling and feedback of contractors and suppliers.
If house is at a premium and you cant afford to create a new laundry room however want to develop on an present one you could wish to have the contractor set up soundproof walls to make the operation of the laundry room more peaceable, especially if the laundry room is going to be located off a living room or sleeping area.
Environmental Points
Thousands and thousands of American owners plan to remodel as an alternative of move. Adding a splash of class or fashion can rapidly change the whole feel and appear of your bathroom. The kitchen is one other key area in your home and making enhancements on this room will add value to your own home for those who plan on promoting it. Time and money or expenses are two of the primary requirement in conducting dwelling improvement.
This can be an costly project and should be undertaken by house remodeling contractor. Both of these is the costliest home transforming initiatives to undertake. As you start your transforming mission to encompass a laundry room it's essential to resolve what you want to use the room for.
home remodeling ideas india, home remodeling designers near me, home remodeling ideas split level
Home remodeling contains reworking of various components of your home reminiscent of kitchen, bathroom, foyer, sitting room, basement and all. You should have a timeline of what development as your own home reworking evolves step by step. Plywood may be proper for some projects, however you should contemplate walnut, maple, or oak for extra load-bearing tasks. A properly designed toilet can add to the inviting nature of your house, so remember to give it some further care even when it's the guest rest room you're remodeling.

The Grand Canyon – One of the World's Wonders
The Grand Canyon is known the world over for its vastness, its beauty, and its uniqueness. Located in the state of Arizona and cutting across the Grand Canyon National Park, this most spectacular of the world's gorges was carved out by the Colorado River and is considered one of the world's greatest wonders.
The Grand Canyon is one of the world's most powerful and inspiring landscapes, overwhelming in its immensity. Its majesty is awe-inspiring, its beauty breathtaking, its immenseness unfathomable. A visit to the Grand Canyon evokes a sense of the spiritual, and indeed, some Indians view the Canyon as sacred. Not surprisingly, many places in the Grand Canyon are named from mythology and religion: Hindu Ampitheater, Zoroaster, Buddha, Shiva, Confucius, and Solomon Temples….
The Grand Canyon is considered a natural wonder for many reasons, not the least of which is its immense size. Sprawling over 1904 sq. mi. and up to 1 mile (1,500 m.) deep, it is up to 18 mi. (29 km.) wide, and averages 10 mi. across. But although it is only 10 miles as the raven flies, it is 215 miles and a five hour drive to go from the South Rim to the North Rim. Cut by the Colorado River, the Canyon averages 4,000 feet deep for its entire 277 miles. It is 6,000 feet deep at its deepest point.
There are traces of man living in the Grand Canyon dating back to prehistoric times. The oldest human artifacts found are nearly 12,000 years old. In more recent times, Native American Indians inhabited the area, and when the Spanish first explored the area in the 16th century, the Grand Canyon was viewed as little more than an obstacle to exploration. Miners came to the area in the 19th century and built mines in the sides of the canyon. By the last decade of the 19th century, the Grand Canyon had become one of the country's most celebrated tourist destinations, aided by the laying of a railway track. The Grand Canyon was established as a National Monument in 1908 and as a National Park in 1919.
In 1979, the Grand Canyon was inscribed on the UNESCO's World Heritage list of natural sites for having met the following four criteria:
1) to contain superlative natural phenomena or areas of exceptional natural beauty and aesthetic importance;
2) to be outstanding examples representing major stages of earth's history, including the record of life, significant on-going geological processes in the development of landforms, or significant geomorphic or physiographic features; 3) to be outstanding examples representing significant on-going ecological and biological processes in the evolution and development of terrestrial, fresh water, coastal and marine ecosystems and communities of plants and animals;
4) to contain the most important and significant natural habitats for in-situ conservation of biological diversity, including those containing threatened species of outstanding universal value from the point of view of science or conservation.
Geology and Ecology:
The Grand Canyon is one of the most studied geologic landscapes in the world. Several factors make its geology remarkable. First is its immense size. Secondly, whereas many canyons form as rivers cascade among mountain peaks, the Grand Canyon sits incised into an elevated plateau. Its geology is not hidden under vegetation, but rather exposed to view by its desert landscape. Then, of course, there is the Canyon's age, which can be traced back 2 billion years. It is the oldest geological feature on earth, and its revealed horizontal strata preserve a lengthy, although incomplete, record of Earth's history.
The Grand Canyon offers an excellent record of three of the four eras of geological time, a rich and diverse fossil record, and an extensive range of geologic features and rock types, and archaeological and biological resources. It is considered one of the finest examples of arid-land erosion in the world.
The history of the Grand Canyon began over two billion years ago, when the heat and pressure from a tectonic collision changed the existing rock into metamorphic rock that became the basement of the canyon. The North American Plate overrode the Pacific Plate about 70 million years ago, forming the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado Plateau, which was pushed up thousands of feet from sea level. Very little tilting or deformation of the sedimentary layers occurred. By 5 or 6 million years ago, the Colorado River flowed across the Colorado Plateau on its way from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California. A steep gradient and heavy sediment loads caused considerable erosion, deepening and widening the canyon. The Canyon's enormous chasm was sculpted by these forces: the Colorado River, flooding, ice, gravity, and wind.
They have sliced through the multicolored strata of rock laid down by ancient seas and forests and deserts. Nearly horizontal layers of sedimentary rocks – formed near sea level and from limestone accumulated on the ocean floor – make up the upper 2/3 of the canyon's walls. The cliffs and slopes profile of the canyon is formed because harder, upper layers collapse as softer, lower rock layers are eroded more quickly. Because each of the layers erodes differently, the canyon is a convolution of cliffs, platforms, towering buttes, and tributaries.
The Grand Canyon contains several major ecosystems. Its great biological diversity can be attributed to the presence of five of the seven life zones and three of the four desert types in North America, which is equivalent to traveling from Mexico to Canada. The land is semi-arid and consists of raised plateaus and basins typical of the southwestern U.S. Forests are found at higher elevations while the lower elevations are comprised of a series of desert basins.
The Park serves as an ecological refuge, with relatively undisturbed portions of dwindling ecosystems. It is home to numerous rare, endemic (found only at Grand Canyon), and specially protected threatened or endangered plant and animal species. Over 1,500 plant, 355 bird, 89 mammalian, 47 reptile, 9 amphibian, and 17 fish species are found in the park. We saw mule deer, wild turkey, elk, squirrels, bright blue pinyon jays, black ravens, and California condors, although there are also rattlesnakes, bighorn sheep, and mountain lions.
Success Story: The Comeback of the California Condor
In prehistoric times, condors (the largest land bird in North America with a wingspan of 9 ½ feet and weighing up to 22 pounds) ranged from Canada to Mexico, and across the United States from west to east coast. They were a common resident of the Grand Canyon, but a dramatic range reduction occurred about 10,000 years ago, coinciding with the extinction of several large mammals that the condors fed on. By the time Europeans arrived in western North America, condors had retreated to the Pacific coast from British Columbia to Baja, California.
The birds maintained a strong population until the settlement of the west, when shooting, poisoning from lead and DDT, egg collecting, and general habitat degradation began to take a heavy toll. By the late 1930s, all remaining condors were found only in California and by 1982, the total population had dwindled to just 22 birds. Today, the California condor is regarded as one of the rarest birds in the world.
But there is good news! Grand Canyon National Park has participated in the condor reintroduction program with encouraging results, making the park one of the easiest places to view California condors today.
A captive breeding program began in 1980, and when only nine birds remained in the wild in 1985, a controversial decision was made to bring all remaining condors into captivity. All hope for recovery was placed on the captive breeding program. Captive bred condors were being released back into the wild in California beginning in 1992. By 1996, they were released in Arizona, the first time condors had flown over the state since 1924.
There are currently around 60 free flying condors in Arizona. Many of them frequent Grand Canyon, especially during the summer. To call the program a success, the birds must not only survive, but also reproduce. And that did happen a few years ago! After a couple of years of unsuccessful nests, the first condor hatched and fledged in Arizona in 2003, the first in more than a century. There are now a total of 305 condors worldwide.
One problem that the condor now faces is that of lead poisoning. The birds are exposed to lead when they ingest bullets or pellets from the carcasses that they eat. To reduce this lead source, the Arizona Game and Fish Department provides hunters in northern Arizona with coupons for non-lead ammunition.

Lawson flashes potential in Rockets' uneven preseason opener
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - If judgments should not be made from one preseason game, it might not be a tad quick to draw conclusions from one play. Still, it might be telling that Rockets coach Kevin McHale chose to begin the game the way he did.
James Harden brings up the ball and gives to Ty Lawson for an angle pick-and-roll with Dwight Howard. Lawson drives to draw the defense and passes to Trevor Ariza. When the defense closes to him, he passes to Harden for an open 3.
For all the talk of what the Rockets' offense lacked and Lawson can bring, there could be few better demonstrations with Lawson breaking down the defense, the ball moving and Harden scoring on a look he did not have to create for himself.
Rust evident
Most of the Rockets' first preseason game did not go nearly as smoothly, with the Rockets missing 3s and the Grizzlies running through turnovers for long stretches before Memphis held on to knock off the Rockets, 92-89, at FedExForum. But there were flashes of what the Rockets have in mind, starting with the first possession of the preseason.
"If you have two attackers on both sides, you're going to get something good," Lawson said. "Either one of us can get a close-out because I can get in the paint, James can get in the paint, and find the right person. You can't just load up on either one of us, or I'll be able to find him, or he'll be attacking the paint to find Trev, Dwight or T.J. (Terrence Jones) for an easy bucket."

When the games count, the Rockets will want Harden going to the basket more often, but they can't mind the open shots he got. He did not make many. Harden went 1-of-7 on 3s, scoring 11 points in his 21 minutes.
"We had some shots we missed," McHale said. "For the first exhibition game, we were able to create some good shots.
"We haven't drawn up a lot of stuff in our offense. We have a lot of different things we're going to put in. We have a long way to go, but for the first game, there was some good stuff."
Harden was not the only one struggling to finish. Howard was 2-of-8, scoring five points in his 24 minutes, though he did add 11 rebounds and a pair of sensational blocks. Jones made just one of seven shots. No one made more than one 3-pointer, with the Rockets going 5-of-29 from deep. Lawson was 4-of-9, missing his two 3-pointers to score 10 points in 24 minutes.
"It's (about) getting them," Lawson said of the Rockets' looks. "We shot under 20 percent from 3. They were all wide open. I don't think there was a forced shot. During the season, we'll hit those."
'Saw some good things'
The Rockets' bench did rally back from a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit to tie the game late on K.J. McDaniels' second alley-oop slam. But he and Sam Dekker each missed 3s as the Grizzlies took a four-point lead. Dekker kept the Rockets in the game with a corner 3, and the Rockets set up a possession to tie with four seconds left. But the Rockets seemed to forget they needed a 3 until it was too late and time ran out.
Still, for the Rockets, the game might have been more meaningful for how it started than how it finished.
After the first possession ended with Harden's 3, Lawson drove the baseline to set up Ariza for a corner 3. Moments later, Lawson's penetration set up Jones inside, though Jones was tied up before he could get off his shot.
That amounted to only a glimpse of what the Rockets have in mind for their most important addition, but they seemed encouraged even by that.
"We saw some good things," Corey Brewer said. "We had some good ball movement. We saw (Lawson) attack in pick-and-roll, how he can make plays. We had a lot of open shots. We have to make some of them. But we did some good things tonight."

As mentioned yesterday I had a volleyball game last night, it was quite a good game as it was the last in the season and we beat one of the better teams in the league by three sets to none 🙂 however more exciting than that was before the game my blood sugar was at about eight and after the game it was about the same.
I was kind of expecting to drop to be low when I woke up this morning but it was about nine and a half so if anything I could probably have had a full dose instead of setting it for exercise when I had my supper after the game.
In other news I'm going to attempt to do my afternoon fasting blood glucose again tomorrow because I just did a blood test and was 3.4mmol/l which is obviously a bit low. Therefore please excuse any spelling mistakes that may be included in this particular post until the dextrose have kicked in 😛
Hopefully I can get to a stage before too long where I can stop having the afternoon hypos but of course being Diabetic I guess that there is no way you can permanently avoid them unless you run high all the time which causes more long term issues and complications than being low. Just one of those Diabetes things that people without it probably can't really comprehend. Talking of which I'm considering what my options are in terms of future posts on the blog? I will definitely keep posting information about how the pump is going but would like to invite suggestions as to what other Type 1 based things people might like me to write about. I have a veritable cornucopia of experience having had Diabetes for nearly 35 years now so feel free to post your suggestions.
However I might not start diversifying with my topics until after I've spoken at the next Nottingham Type 1 Diabetes Group Meeting in June (I think!?) as otherwise I might run out of material for that :-S

Fishing Club
The fishing club is a club that teaches children how to be independent fishermen. They come with a variety of background knowledge, from novice to expert. Students are showing leadership skills by helping their peers, and even other grownups, learn how to bait a hook, cast, and remove a fish from a hook. They are recording the weather conditions, bait used to catch the fish, type of fish, length, and weight into their scientific notebooks. They will create a presentation that explains which conditions and baits were the most successful.

Getting Grounded! CPD session Thursday 17 November 2016
We welcomed colleagues from Moray, Aberdeen City and Aberdeen-shire to school on Thursday 17 November, to hear about our Literacy and Mental health project in school. Mr Clark and Mrs Toonen led the project, with great support from Emma Lamont at Scottish Book Trust. All were delighted to welcome colleagues and to share information, reflections and recommendations about the project.
Mr Clark spoke about the rationale of the project and the learning outcomes, as well as the progress of the project and its way forward. Mrs Toonen spoke about its methodology and links with partners and about the library's input and impact on learning and teaching. Both Mr Clark and Mrs Toonen shared their experiences of learning and teaching and of liaison with partners both in school and outside school. There was continual dialogue and liaison with the Guidance team in school, who will now take the project forward and there were good sessions with external partners Moray Wellbeing Hub, SAMH Elgin and with graphic novelist, Adam Murphy. Emma, from Scottish Book Trust provided free resources & told us more about Authors Live projects and pupils' work was on display for everyone to have a look.
Feedback from participants was that this was a worthwhile CPD session, with two comments of "inspirational". It was great to share our project!

In the eyes of Tiber Health CEO David Lenihan, MD, the "medical school model" is broken. Can his venture-backed startup Tiber Health teach future physicians more effectively and help avoid the coming global doctor shortage?
The Problem: Tiber Health says we'll need an additional 14 million medical professionals by 2039.
Tiber's Solution: Tiber is building what it hopes will be a reproducible education model.
Side note: David Lenihan was at Tiber's school in Puerto Rico during the interview. We got disconnected twice.
Podcast Guest

Co-founder & CEO
Tiber Health
Dr. David Lenihan is the co-founder and CEO of Tiber Health. He is driven by a relentless commitment to making medical education more accessible for students of all backgrounds and income levels. An experienced educator and medical practitioner, he has witnessed first-hand the limitations of the traditional medical school model and resolved to create a better, more inclusive and effective one.
The Tiber model is inspired by students at Ponce Health Sciences University in Puerto Rico, where Dr. Lenihan serves as President, and the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in New York, where he served as Dean. Dr. Lenihan has fundamentally changed the way medical education is taught. By flipping the classroom, personalizing curriculum and assessing students and faculty in real-time he created a model that reduces costs while improving quality, graduate rates, and U.S. Board scores.
Previously, Dr. Lenihan founded a system of outpatient clinics in the UK. With a Ph.D. in Peripheral Neuroscience from the University of Edinburgh, where he was also a peripheral nerve surgical fellow, a Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer University, and Juris Doctor from Touro University, Dr. Lenihan has studied the human body and health care delivery extensively. He has worked as a postdoctoral fellow in spinal cord injury at Washington University (Saint Louis), and has published over 20 scientific papers on the assessment and repair of the nervous system.

Stick or Switch?
During a certain game show, contestants are shown three closed doors. One of the doors has a big prize behind it, and the other two have junk behind them. The contestants are asked to pick a door, which remains closed to them. Then the game show host, Monty, opens one of the other two doors and reveals the contents to the contestant. Monty always chooses a door with a gag gift behind it. The contestants are then given the option to stick with their original choice or to switch to the other unopened door.
Materials Needed for Experiment
A Spinner with three equal areas; Adjustable Spinner, or
It is recommended that you use the following simulation. This simulation will tally the results for the 'Switch' and 'Stay' scenarios.
The Stick Strategy Explained
- Suppose that the spinner lands on door B. What does Monty do? (Shows you door C) What do you do? (Stick) Do you win or lose?
- Suppose that the spinner lands on door C. What does Monty do? (Shows you door B) What do you do? (Stick) Do you win or lose?
- Suppose that the spinner lands on door A. In this instance Monty shows you either door B or door C. What do you do? (Stick) Do you win or lose?
The Switch Strategy Expalined
- Suppose that the spinner lands on door B. Monty opens door C. You switch to the unopened door. Do you win or lose?
- Suppose that the spinner lands on door C. Monty opens door B. You switch. Do you win or lose?
- Suppose that the spinner lands on door A. Monty shows you door B or C. You switch. Do you win or lose?
Your Task
Discuss the following strategies.
Question 1.
Write a few sentences explaining whether you would "stay" with your original door choice or "switch" to a new door after seeing one of the choices. Explain why you would "stay" or "switch".
Question 2.
Keep a tallied list of your experiment for "staying". Copy the class list of experimental outcomes for "staying". Write the experimental probability of "staying". Explain how we determined this probability.
You are to post your Results on the follwing link before the weekend to ensure everyone has adequate time to finish.
Also, please post up the 'SWITCH' results as well.
e.g. After 100,000 Times
Question 3.
Write the experimental probability of "switching". Explain how we determined the experimental probability.
e.g. After 100,000 Times
Question 4.
Write a few sentences comparing your original prediction in #1 to how you feel now. Would you "stay" or "switch"? Explain why. Use the experimental and theoretical probabilities we obtained during this lesson in your response.Explore posts in the same categories: Mathematics

when you stick to your initial choice, and dont change your choice, even after the host has opened the other door, you have chance a chance of (1/3) of winning the prize (in this case the "angry bird".
when you decide to move, you have the chance of (2/3) of winning
the door you are choosing is random, but the door the host is opening is not random.
look at this senario, there a three doors, you choose one to open
(but have not opened it yet)… the chance of winning th prize is (1/3) for all the doors at the start.
but, as soon as i open any other door, which does not contain the prize, and which you have not choosen, and which has nothing hidden behind it… as soon i open it the chances for that door only IS "ZERO" for containing th prize?
well now explain this… now since the other doors have the chance of (1/3), and there are only two remaining doors, closed..
then (1/3) + (1/3) = (2/3) ….
which makes it (2/3) of chances of winning the prize..
heres a good video, which explains it better… with a deck of cards aswell, just ingore the starting bit, it was lame lol

Monty's Dilemma Assignment
Stick(won=21 out of 50 and lost=29 out of 50)
Switch(won=31 out of 50 and lost= 19 out of 50)
August 30, 2011 at 11:07 PM
I would switch, as you will have a 2/3 chance of winning when you switch.
But if you stay, you only have a 1/3 chance of winning.
Strategy Won Lost
Stick 20 30
Experimental Probability To Win: 40.00%
Strategy Won Lost
Switch 28 22
Experimental Probability To Win: 56.00%
My original prediction hasn't changed. I would still use the 'switch' strategy as it has been backed up by evidence through the experiment that was conducted. Our experiment proved that the probability of winning when using the 'switch' is higher than the 'stick' strategy.
August 31, 2011 at 4:39 PM
Hey Sir, here are my results for "stay" and "switch"
September 1, 2011 at 12:27 AM
won: 17
lost: 33
won: 31
lost: 19
September 3, 2011 at 4:57 PM
Hey sir, my results are:
QS 1- If I was in a situation where I had to stick or switch, I would switch.
The reason for doing so is that once the host opens another door and I choose to switch, I will have a 2/3 chance of winning a certain prize.
The reason it is about a 2/3 chance is that since all the doors are a 1/3 chance and there are 2 doors left closed it would be 1/3+ 1/3 which = 2/3.
" STICK" – Won 12
– Lost -38
QS.3 "SWITCH"- Won- 36
– Lost- 14
QS.4- According to my expiriment, I would still stay with the switch strategy as I would have a greater chance of winning a certain prize rather than sticking.
September 4, 2011 at 10:35 PM
September 6, 2011 at 5:30 PM
I like my plan best… Pick the door that I least want and hope that when the second is opened, the door I want most is the one that is still closed… Then I can switch to the door that I actually wanted =D
So by my strategy, I have a higher chance of winning and I get to pick the door I originally wanted =D Win Win really =D

Neighbours villain Finn Kelly is finally triumphant next week as he seizes his chance to take over as Acting Principal at Erinsborough High.
Finn (Rob Mills) has been plotting to steal Susan's top job at the school for weeks now – and we've recently seen him tampering with her medication as part of his evil masterplan.
Next week's dramatic Neighbours episodes see Finn's scheming pay off at last when Susan (Jackie Woodburne) collapses during a road trip with Paige Smith and Piper Willis.
Susan finds her symptoms flaring up again now that Finn has sneakily replaced her pills to make her unwell – and the timing couldn't be worse as her relapse prevents her from helping Paige when she goes into labour out in the bush.
When Susan's husband Karl (Alan Fletcher) arrives on the scene, he makes sure that she and Paige both get the urgent medical help they need – but the cause of her problems remains a mystery as nobody has clocked onto the medication issue yet.
Just as Susan is fearing the worst in her hospital bed, Finn makes matters ten times more stressful by paying a "caring" visit with some flowers for her.
Finn is also quick to break the news that he'll be stepping up as Acting Principal while Susan is recuperating – which doesn't go down well with her as he's clearly wasted no time before contacting the department and getting his hands on her job.
Although Finn reminds Susan that he's only taking her seat for a few days while she gets better, she can't help but feel uneasy about his intentions.
With his ruthless ambition and never-ending scheming, could Finn somehow find a way to make this a more permanent changeover?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, May 31 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

Day 14: A picture of you last year – how have you changed?
How much I've changed in the last year??? I don't think I've changed a lot, I've maybe gained an extra 10 lbs but I'll save that discussion for Day 16.
Overall I'm pretty much the same, this picture was taken early August 2010 at my friends housewarming party. I have a thicker fuller beard at the moment, which is harboring one grey hair.

Monday, December 3:
10:00 a.m. – Public Safety Committee
Monday at 10 marks the formal report by city emergency responders to City Hall on the Cosco Busan oil spill. What went right (no, that's not a joke), what went wrong, and how the city's agencies can better prepare for a spill like this in the future.
Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval's proposing a measure that would "urge the Port of San Francisco to prohibit any vessel that uses heavy bunker oil from docking on Port property."
Which is retarded, because the Port of SF sees as little action as a Noe Valley bedroom. Attend this bit of political theater if you can get the next few hours off. Nobody's better at making city bureaucrats squirm on camera than Public Safety Committee Chairman Ross Mirkarimi.
It's like he takes this job seriously or something.
1:00 p.m. – Land Use Committee
Are there ever mornings when you wake up and think, "Why the fuck does San Francisco even HAVE a Land Use committee?"
No? Not even when you've had really bad shrooms the night before? Am I really so alone on this?
Okay, whatever. I can take it. I thought we had an understanding here, but … whatever.
No … you know what … screw that, I can't let this thing go. I mean, I can understand why a committee would do something sensible, like an "institutional master plan review for medical institutions" (click here to read what that's all about) … that's a good idea … but why does it have to be a Land Use Committee? Does that really fall under their jurisdiction? Huh? Does it?
And what about the other items on their agenda? How can you possibly defend those? Like item two, an "Interim Moratorium on institutional uses in the Western SoMa." Huh? What's that about? The entire progressive majority … Peskin, Daly, Ammiano, McGoldrick, Maxwell, Mirkarimi … they all seem to want it. And I like these guys. I do. But the measure they're proposing includes this sentence:
"The Western SoMa Planning Area Special Use District houses important production, distribution, and repair ("PDR") services that are a vital part of the San Francisco and regional economy, including the flower industry."
Shit, all this time I thought we were a high tech center … when it fact it's the FLOWER industry, the "vital" flower industry, that's the engine of our prosperity. God alone knows what would happen if the terrorists got to our precious, precious flowers!
All this rigmarole is over nothing. City law requires that any institutions in the city have to file a master plan with the planning department, and the Academy of Art (among other offenders) hasn't done that for 20 years, so now that the Academy wants to build or expand or … whatever they want to do and the Supes are saying "No, we're going to put a moratorium on institutional building for the whole area until you fall into line!" Which is just — Wait — I like that. Fuck, that's a good idea. I — wow — I've been horrible about this whole thing. I'm so sorry. Land Use Committee, can you ever forgive me?
I love this committee. And I hate — HATE — any supervisor who doesn't support the Interim Moratorium on institutional uses in the Western SoMa, or support our vital, vital flower industry.
Tuesday, December 4
2:00 p.m. – Full Board of Supervisors
Ross Mirkarimi's stealing the rest of the Supes thunder by holding his own Cosco Busan hearing a day before the full Board of Supervisors meets to have theirs. But it won't be repetitious, because these will be very different hearings.
At Mirkarimi's hearing, the committee's going to listen and then decide what they think of the city's response to the disaster. At the hearing today, the Supes have already decided to commend:
1) The Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) Training program
2) The Bay Area chapter of the Red Cross
3) SF Connect
4) The Volunteer Center … for the outstanding jobs they did.
Which is swell. But public hearings where they hand out awards are very different from public hearings where someone gets asked "Why, exactly, did your agency do that?"
Bottom line: if you're angry about the Cosco Busan oil spill, show up at Mirkarimi's hearing. If you're thrilled by the way we all pulled together afterwards, show up at the Supes.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
What's that sound, boys and girls? Why, it must be another charter amendment to annoy voters with the messy mechanics of democracy! Yes, the scars from the last election haven't even healed but already we've got a heated political battle -- a ballot amendment.
This charter amendment is brought to you by Supervisors Daly, Ammiano, and Mirkarimi, whose Tony-award nominated musical "A Tale of One City" will be available on a Grammy-nominated compact disc in time for this Oscar-nominated Christmas. Their newest project, highly anticipated by progressive activists and the 18 – 35 year old starving artist demographic, is a proposal that would require a small percent of each tax dollar be set aside for affordable housing programs, and require the Mayor's Office of Housing to prepare an affordable housing plan every three years.
No other supervisors' names appear on this proposal, so it's going to have a hard time at the meeting. But since voter turnout hovered near zero this year, getting something on the ballot is easier than dumping bunker oil in the bay. Expect some version of this charter amendment on the ballot, some way, some how.
This week the Supes will also be:
--Designating the Metro Theater on Union Street as a landmark
--Continue to screen possible lawyers to find one who can represent them in the forthcoming Ed Jew hearings (are there any impartial lawyers in this city?)
--Ask the DPW to create a "Citizen's How To Kit" on how to move their utilities underground.
I'm sorry … what? A "how to kit" for ordinary people on how to move their utilities underground? Is that something we should be taking into our own hands? Don't we want to leave that to the experts? Or, is this part of some really progressive movement I haven't heard about?
Jeez – I can't even screw in a light bulb.
Wednesday, December 5
1:00 p.m. – Budget and Finance Committee
Yes! Somebody's finally creating a contract for a new voting system! We've moving into the 19th century!
Thursday, December 6
10:00 a.m. – Rules Committee
The Rules Committee is sending mixed signals this week. Do they like us or not?
On the one hand, they're totally looking out for us. They'll be appointing people to the Asthma Task Force, the Mental Health Board, the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force, the Health Authority, the Developmental Disabilities Area Board V, the Sweatfree Procurement Advisory Group (okay, I don't know what that is – but it sounds like they're looking after us), and the Children and Families First Commission (I don't know what that is either, but, come on, Children and Families First!).
They'll also be creating an "Independent Rate Payer Advocate" to make sure utility rates are fair. Nice, huh?
Then, suddenly, the committee turns mean – authorizing the Tax Collector Attorney to file suit against the relatives of people who get care at City hospitals then don't pay. The city needs coin, see.
Hey! Wait a minute! Isn't health care a right? Isn't that what the Asthma Task Force is all about? Come on, Rules Committee, cut us some slack! I needed that tumor removed!
Then, they'll be holding a hearing on homeless LGBT youth in San Francisco.
There's no explanation for this. What about homeless LGBT youth? Are we for them? Against them? Do they need help? Are they a public nuisance? Is Sean Elsbernd going to provide irrefutable proof that they don't exist? What?
I bet they're a threat to the vital flower industry. But I don't know for sure.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is all the government we can stand. Take a break. Walk it off. Smoke something mellow. Try to forget that, next week, we'll have to do it all over again … and possibly move our own underground utilities.
(SFGovernmentInAction tells you what's on The Man's agenda every week on Monday morning at 9 a.m. Bookmark it, deltas.)

Lansing City Council hears update on proposed splash pad project among variety of other items during regular session
by Macie Hill
The regular session of the Lansing City Council was held Monday, December 3. Discussion centered around the Fehr Graham engineering agreement for the Clear Creek Sewer Project, a sewer line bill regarding two Main Street businesses, the Northern Engraving Well, a wireless squad car system, a splash pad update and a Marina Board update.
The council approved the motion for an engineering agreement with Fehr Graham regarding an additional $32,000 engineering fee for completion of the Clear Creek Sewer Project.
The council was advised that T.J. Hunter's Banquet Hall and the Century Link building's private sewer line had a blockage that was professionally resolved recently. The $800 bill for the project will be sent to T.J. Hunter's Banquet Hall owner Jason Drape, and the two property owners will negotiate what amount of the bill owners of the Century Link building will pay.
It was reported that Cahoy Pumping Service will be capping the Northern Engraving well for the amount of $11,206.50. The Lansing Police Department will be adding a squad car wireless system to aid in the operational use of a computer program for the amount not to exceed $600.
Representatives from the Parks Board were present at the meeting and explained that the board has $17,000 out of the total $70,000 needed for the construction of the proposed splash pad. The board is confident that it will have to pay no out-of-pocket money to complete the project with the help of fundraising and grants.
The Marina Report minutes stated, "Fred Mathews made a motion, seconded by Dave Zach, to not have any more trees planted in the marina per article #222 of the City Code."

Matt Damon sightings in Vancouver
It's true. Matt Damon and wife Luciana Bozán Barroso are renting a house in Vancouver for the summer. But where? And why? We speculate:
"Over in Whalley, my sources tell me. North Whalley," Derek Zeisman told the Vancouver Observer on Facebook.
Whalley district is located in the north west corner of Surrey.
"My co-worker's kid ran into him outside the men's room by the Grind about two-three weeks ago. Facebooked the photo and everything," Lori Varrin Kidwell said.
"They are always at Grouse. Been here all summer," @therealkali added.
"I work at Grouse. He's there a few times a week. Friends have served him. I only work nights and he goes during the day a lot. WestVan house."
The couple even hosted friends John Krasinski and wife Emily Blunt recently, and, "among the many spots on their itinerary, Grouse Mountain, where the foursome went hiking" People reports.
"I saw him in west van last weekend!" @whatsupvancity said.
The 40-year-old megastar, along with Jodie Foster, is in town to film "Elysium," a sci-fi flick by District 9 director Neill Blomkamp to come out in 2013. Filming is scheduled to run from July 25 to September 27, reports CTV News.

All of Stonington's school accomplishments have been done without proper school funding. Each member must pay a fee and fundraising or to keep up with the expensive sport. Recently money has been focused to buy new a resolute racing shelf of the girls in the boathouse.
"The new boat will being going on river very soon and if someone wanted to stop by the MysticSeaport or drive downtown by the river to see the us rowing downtown."

Business Telephone Systems London Which Phone System Near Me Is Best For Your Company
London Telephone Systems for Business have come a long way from British Telecom's Kingsman and Monarch PBX Key and Lamp phone systems. Those days a phone system was there just to make and receive calls, today the modern-day versions are a complete total communications solution.
As voice and data began to merge so the technology, connectivity and features today allow organisations to be able to both be connected and do more efficiently. No matter if the member of staff is in the office, on the road or at home. They are a few different communications systems available depending on either the size of your company or the facilities that you will need on either your new office telephone system or your small business telephone system UK options.
Different Types of Business Telephone Systems:
The first thing for you to understand is what are the different choices of telecommunication systems available on the market for you. There are primarily 3 types of phone systems for you to decide between, they are 1) Key Business Telephone System (KSU), 2) Private Branch Exchange System (PBX) and 3) Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP). All three of these types of business phone systems can either be installed on premises on in the cloud.
Key Business Telephone Systems (KSU)
There are 2 different types of KSU phone systems which run and are set up in different ways. First there is the KSU-less which does not have a central control unit as the phones are connected directly to a power cord. The technical functionality of these systems are programmed straight into either the wired or cordless telephones. This telecommunication system solutions are suitable for small businesses with under 12 staff who do not make many calls and are not after certain high-end features.
Key Business Telephone Systems (KSU)
The Key Business Telephone Systems (KSU) is the bigger brother of the KSU-less which has both more features plus is able to expand to around 45 extensions. These systems need a central control unit to run and are really easy to use so normally there is a short learning process for staff to get use to it.
Staff will have to choose the telephone line required manually as does not have an automatic function to do this. Each person also has to have their own phone line for the system to work properly. The one drawback is that it has limited expansion options and lacks some of the features of both PBX and VOIP Business Telephone Systems. You will be able to add some of the PBX phone system features to it by making it into a Hybrid Telephone System which will allow it to do some of the functions of the other office phone systems available.
Features Of A Key Business Telephone System:
Nowadays Key Telephone Systems can performed many functions and features that they can use. This has given small business some of the features previously only available to large businesses and corporate companies. The following are the main features of the Key Office Phone System.

- Call Recording = This allows your organisations to record calls between you and your customers, plus can also record internal communications. This facility is essential within certain industries due to the regulations that are in place in 2019. This will aid you if there are any disputes or claims against your company.
- Auto Attendant = With this feature you are able to record different greetings for your customers when they first call into your organisation. This allows you if you need to set up the business telephone system without a dedicated receptionist.

Private Branch Exchange System (PBX)
The PBX telephone systems take your communications to another level, as they have both more features and flexibility. It is the most used business telecommunications system and is still making advances today. One of the major benefits over the KSU is that telephone lines will be automatically selected for you. Therefore you will not need each staff to have their own phone line. This way you can have the typical set up for medium & large business telephone systems to have more extensions than lines.
They make communications run smoothly as they can be set up just how you need it to be. They are also easy to expand so if you are a growing organisation you can rest assured that a PBX telephone systems will be able to grow with you. You will also be able to use the system for different points and it even allows for remote working.
The advanced call recording and other functions make this the perfect system for small, medium and large organisations looking to take their telecommunication platform to the next level. They are suitable from 5 to 1000 staff so there is a solution for everyone.
These systems can also be connected with your computer network to give you an integrated business telephone system near me that allows you to take advantage of the latest features now available.

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) Telephone Systems
The newest entry into the medium business telephone systems portfolio is VOIP IP phone system. This technology has taken the market in a big way as it has allowed a much faster and cost-effective way to route your calls. These office phone systems use SIP Trunks over the internet instead of Analogue or ISDN lines as the traditional telephone systems use.
VOIP Telephony can be installed either on premises, hosted in the cloud where you only have the telephone handsets or they can work with your existing PBX to create a hybrid telecommunication system. There are many types of VOIP and SIP handsets available used with these systems. They also allow you to use a certain amount of analogue phones within the installation therefore giving you a fully adaptable voice & data system.
One of the major things that's needed for your IP PBX VOIP Phone system is to make sure that your Cabling and Network is both up to date and has enough capacity to be able to handle your new installation. Having enough bandwidth set up correctly is paramount if you want your voice & data VOIP system to work properly. So you should always have a full and complete Network Analysis done before you go ahead.
