text: Larsen M. Callirhoe Posted December 11, 2011 okay this is a computer psychology class: uses basic pyschology to help improve yourself in college: ********************************************************************************************************************* ********************************************************************************************************************* Final Project Writing Assignment: Success Toolkit – Presentation. Instructor Williams asks her students to look over several of the Success Toolkit assignments we did hand in during the class term. I went back gazing over all the material I did cover. Doing this purview I discover the material in this class is really helping me cope aesthetically with my ambitions and failures. The first toolkit is where I think I did learn the most retrospectively. We're asked to organize short, intermediate, and long term goals in that writing assignment. I wrote about successes and failures in my life. Successes examples used were me getting married and the achievement of graduating High School. Two personal failure examples I used were me going through a divorce and becoming paralyzed in an accident. I was introduced to three outstanding authors in this class - Psychology Professor Author Carol S. Dweck "Mindset, The New Psychology of Success," - Law Professor Author Amy Chua "Battle Hymn, of the Tiger Mother" and - Author Malcolm Gladwell,"Outliers: The Story of Success." Author Dweck prodigy of the subject of this course does explain Fixed and Growth Mindset to the world. In her book she explains how you think mentally with your Mindset shows a tremendous deal about your character psychologically. And, I adhere to the conundrums of her philosophy. I was enriched reading about the subjects these three authors expressed to others as they each want students to embrace the mindset of making a difference in a world they each figuratively wrote about in my honest opinion. I learned copiously to use research time wisely when preparing for writing assignments because of the Success Toolkits process of origination. Success Toolkits paved the road of college for I methinks for all my future classes. Among the things I learned in this class was how to use the internet judiciously and understandably. This alone will help me in the crunch when I need to use efficiency to conserve time. Author Dweck states the brain is a muscle needing to be exercised daily and advises us not to use lingua franca context like (can't) for it leads people to a Fixed Mindset. She strongly emphasizes you believe all things are possible with study and this in turn gives you a healthy Growth Mindset. Divulging myself into Author Amy Chua during the colloquy in discussion groups we learn about what it takes to raise a child the way many Chinese mothers do. She explains in her book oriental children will have the foundation to be a phenomenon in life by their parents being strict and harsh. She says it is part of their heritage and culture though not all oriental parents follow her credence. We all do have to consider that there is no perfect merit system on how to raise children for she raised eyebrows in her community for being a bad parent. I alone relate to her sympathetically wishing my parents established a stricter regime with me when I had attended primary school years ago. Another individual we met in class was the Author Gladwell. Through him the class was introduced to the term Outliers. He emphasizes you work as much as 10,000 hours of before you before you have experience to a master a profession. Reading his book you discover what the subjects of his book do in order to be labeled Outlier personalities. He explains they have focus to work hard having ambition to stand out amongst their peers justly. They can be considered just the opposite in society too being label failures for not trying and are frowned upon. Success Toolkit assignments taught me to learn how to gauge myself with disciple, focus, and precision preparing me to use less words but more appropriate words doing research papers very quickly. In the long term I see myself being the author of poetry and a prose book. When I was in middle school I had a Growth Mindset. When I ran away from home all of a sudden I saw how hard it was to live in the real world. I saw myself as a failure putting myself in a Fixed Mindset very quickly for over ten years. When I became paralyzed from a car wreck doctors saw me as someone with no potential. I became clinically depressed finding myself back in the rut of a Fixed Mindset whereas a month earlier I saw myself on top of the world in a Growth Mindset becoming a newlywed. Psychologically I realize this class is preparing me to reach for the stars and be all that I can be in college, family, life and the workforce. My favorite toolkit during the course of the class was writing a biography on an idol in your life. I choose to write about my idol growing up Dale Murphy. He was a star baseball player for the Atlanta Braves. He made it look so simple. As I did research on him I didn't realize how difficult the journey was for him. I learned from him the discipline and ethics it really takes to succeed in a career as rigorous as baseball. In conclusion the last toolkit asks simply how will you succeed in college and improve your life. These remarks by me sum up how I will achieve my goals in life. I will apply healthy choices; communicate with others; use my own identity; and use technology wisely. Though I am suffering from infirmities including being depressed from paralysis I currently enrolled in college doing well in school and I have a new girlfriend named Marina. I finally see the light at the other end of the rainbow and I suggest you to take a college course just to make connections. ******************************************************************************************************************************************** Outliers: people consider genuses who stand out or failures those that could make a difference but don't reach potential. purview: the range or limit of authority, competence. - responsibility, concern, or intention. aesthetically: pleasing in appearance. ergonomic or attractrive. copiously: yielding something abundantly. plentiful in numbers. lingua franca: use of language syntax; proper grammar or syntax use. colloquy: high level of serious discussion in groups or classes so forth. ***** ***** there is a few other large words in this writing but these are the way I used these six words figuratively.teaches you computer savy skills of ethics and pyschology together. ********************************************************************************************************************* Quote Larsen M.

Bijuva Approved for Menopausal Symptoms
Bijuva (TherapeuticsMD, Inc, Bocan Raton, Florida) is the first and sole FDA-approved combination of bio-identical hormones for moderate to severe hot flashes caused by menopause. The new product, with bio-identical estradiol to reduce hot flashes and bio-identical progesterone to reduce endometrial risks, is expected to be available in the U.S. after March 2019.
According to the United States Census Bureau, approximately 43 million U.S. women are of menopausal age (45–64 years). For more than one third of their lives, they will have symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep and mood disturbances, and genitourinary problems. Eighty percent of women experience hot flashes, which are often incapacitating and continue for years after menopause.
Bijuva, a non-synthetic, softgel, oral capsule, will provide women with an alternative to the currently available synthetic hormones, the separate bio-identical estrogen and progesterone products that are used together although not approved for such use, and the unapproved compounded bio-identical hormone products.
In a large, randomized clinical trial, there was a statistically significant reduction from baseline in both the frequency and severity of hot flashes compared to placebo while reducing the risks to the endometrium. Common adverse reactions included breast tenderness, headache, vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge and pelvic pain.

Whose In Charge Here? - Meeting Jesus Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 17, 2005 (message contributor)
Summary: Colossians tell us Jesus is the "head of the church" - but what does that mean, and how can we make sure that we let Him be just that?
OPEN: In August 1994, a Korean Air jet skidded across a rain soaked runway and rammed a safety barricade while landing in Cheju, Korea. All 160 passengers escaped safely just moments before the plane exploded into flames.
What was the cause of the accident?
According to news reports, the pilot and the co-pilot had gotten into a fist fight… over who was in charge of the landing controls.
APPLY: Who was in charge of those landing controls???? I'd have thought that would have been covered in the flight manual!!!
But the main thing that we see in this story is that NOBODY knew who was in charge…and the confusion that followed resulted in absolute chaos & destruction
I. (pondering…) Who is in charge?
That's an important question to answer in almost every situation because when we don't know who's in charge there can be confusion and frustration.
For Example… who should be in charge in the church???
The Bible very clearly tells us that Look again with me at Colossians 1:16-18
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
Now every church has a structure to it. Whether it's the Anglican church, or the Presbyterian, or ours, every congregation has people who are designated to run the day to day affairs.
In Scripture, we find that the early church had:
1. Elders or Presbyters or Bishops – also called Shepherds of Pastors
2. Preachers or evangelists (like me)
3. Deacons
4. Teachers
5. And all kinds of ministries within the church.
But someone might say:
"That's all very nice… but who's IN CHARGE of the church?"
That would be Jesus
"No… I mean, who has the AUTHORITY in the church?"
That would be Jesus
"No, no, no… who has the FINAL SAY in the church?"
That would be Jesus
II. Now, if you were to ask: who makes the day to day decisions in a congregation…
that would be our Elders: Jim Bowman, Dave Marks and Don Allison. And they get input from me… and Brad… and Greg and everyone else within the congregation.
ILLUS: I once had a person ask me for a copy of a Church's by-laws where I served. Why did they ask? Because they weren't satisfied with a policy of the church and they wanted to find something in the by-laws that would help them with their cause.
I explained to them that – in all the time I'd been preaching there - I'd never seen the church's by-laws… but that I could sum the by-laws up in just a few words:
· any policy that wasn't covered in the Bible was subject to the decisions of the Eldership
· If the Elders approved of something… it was church policy
· If the Elders didn't – it wasn't going to happen.
AND - unless there was a compelling Biblical reason not to do so – I would back any decision the Elders made.
You see, God has given Elders have a very important responsibility. Their job is to take care of the Bride of Christ (the church)… and to protect her from heresy and false doctrine and immorality. They are the protectors of God's family. That's why God wanted His Elders to be good fathers and husbands. A good husband/ father will have experience in protecting their own family. And so – because they understand how to take loving care of their own families - these Elders will experienced in how to do what is best for God's people. They'll know how to love God's children, and set standards for the family.
Now - Who does the church belong to? (It belongs to Jesus). Thus, Elders must always make their decisions based upon what they think Jesus would want – because the church doesn't belong to the Elders… it belongs to Jesus. And the Elders (along with preachers, and teachers and other leaders in the church) will be accountable on the day of judgment for how they have treated the bride of Christ. That's why we need to continually lift up our elders in prayer and encourage them and help them wherever possible.
III. Now, Jesus is the Head of the Church
We've talked about the Elders and how important it is for them to keep Jesus as the Head of His church. But, how about the rest of us? How do WE know whether WE have allowed Jesus to be the Head of His Church?

180 Medical has some exciting news to share with all of you. We are officially moving to a new office location in Oklahoma City this summer! Our current headquarters is at 5324 W. Reno Avenue until we head to our new location at 8516 NW Expressway.
As one of the top suppliers of intermittent catheters and ostomy supplies in the nation, 180 Medical has continued to grow in staff size, and we needed a space with plenty of growing room for our current and future employees. This new location, settled near Northwest Expressway and Rockwell Avenue, with 60,000 square feet on over 4 acres of land, has much more room than our current office arrangement.
Time for a New Location
180 Medical has steadily grown as a company over the years since it was founded by Todd Brown in 2002.
We quickly outgrew our original headquarters. Over the past two years alone, 120 employees were added to the staff, and this exponential growth caused management to begin scouting for possible locations for its new headquarters.
With a large floor plan, an atrium lobby, plenty of windows for natural light, and a lovely park setting outdoors, the new location is just what 180 Medical was looking for.
We're Hiring
180 Medical would also like to announce that they are currently hiring for a variety of positions to meet high demand.
They encourage any passionate, kind people to check out their available positions for an opportunity to work for a great company that strives to make a difference for people in need of their specialized products.
180 Medical has been voted one of the Best Places to Work in Oklahoma for several years.
Keep checking our blog for more information and news. We update frequently with fun company events, the positive work culture at 180 Medical, causes we support in our community, and more!

It is now well established that the plastic deformation of crystalline solids is size dependent at the micron scale for a range of loading conditions. While there are many underlying reasons for these size effects, attention has been primarily focussed on situations where plastic strain gradients are generated. Models typically tend to over-predict the experimentally observed size effects as they neglect a range of dislocation relaxation mechanisms. These mechanisms include dislocation cross-slip and dislocation climb. Dislocation climb requires the diffusion of vacancies and hence significant amounts of dislocation climb only occur at temperatures above a third of the melting temperature - in these cases mass transport reduces the plastic strain gradients and thereby reducing the effect of specimen size. However, even at lower temperatures, dislocations can surmount small obstacles with the aid of small amounts of climb. This prevents the build-up of large dislocation pile-ups which consequently again relaxes stresses.
The coupling of vacancy diffusion with dislocation motion is a true "multi-scale" problem as vacancy/dislocation interaction is essentially a dislocation core effect. We present a two-dimensional discrete dislocation plasticity framework coupled with vacancy diffusion wherein dislocation motion occurs by both climb and glide. The effect of dislocation climb is explored for a range of problems including size effects in bending of crystals, metal-matrix composites and passivated films. Dislocation climb typically tends to reduce strength enhancements that occur with decreasing size but in some surprising cases can also result in strength increases.

|You are Bob the Drip, intrepid space explorer
Space Opera - The Drip Chronicles is an MSPA Forum Adventure Space Opera created by thriggle. Featuring full color pages, some animations, and several lovable sidekicks, this adventure follows the exploits of the ever intrepid Space Explorer Bob the Drip. Thriggle uses irony to produce humor: the planet onto which Bob crash-lands is clearly hosts an advanced civilization, yet Bob (and the narrator) believe its inhabitants to be savages, and treat them accordingly.
Plot Edit
The adventure begins with Bob the Drip crash-landing on a strange alien planet, his trusty spaceship a wreck leaking Noxious Mercury. Upon exiting, he encounters a hostile Savage Foliage, which, despite Bob's attempt at a touching embrace, swallows him. Bob wakes to find the Foliage burned to death due to him zapping it, leaving behind only a Savage Sapling. Easy to forgive and forget, Bob makes use of his Hug Analogue to cause the Savage Sapling to grow a Friendship Blossom. After naming the Sapling Nigel, Bob, while trying to examine the wreckage of his spaceship, manages to get Noxious Mercury in his eyes. A Savage Native exploring the wreckage accidentally causes it to fall on the intrepid explorer and his new sidekick. Nigel, employing his new Turgor Pressure Action Trait, manages to lift the ship off the ground and throw it away, inadvertently smashing a large Enraged Native and sundering Bob's. Nigel's Friendship Blossom flees in terror of Bob's Intimidate Ability.
Accidentally triggering his Space Suit's Rocket Boots, Bob is sent flying into a small alleyway of the nearby Native City. Nigel, left rooted to the ground, suffers from mixed feelings of misplaced anger and resentment (mostly due to the loss of his Friendship Blossom). He becomes Feral, and changes his name to Wesley. In the alleyway, Bob encounters and confronts a terrible Beast-of-Burden. However, being outmatched, he flees using his Rocket Boots.
Meanwhile, Nigel (now Feral Wesley), after growing both a Dread and Lure Blossom, observes several Native Savages investigating the fallen spacecraft. Employing some Noxious Mercury from the spaceship, Wesley attempts to agress some of the locals, but they outmatch the poor plant. Desperate, Wesley creates a Thornberry, called (by default) Nigel's Thornberry, to do some remote espionage. Wesley enters a dormant state, recuperating energy, and Nigel's Thornberry sneaks onto a Native's hat to get a better view. The small Thornberry, which presently takes a nap, wakes later in a completely different location. Upon some exploring, he finds himself quickly propelled to the roof of the new building, and proceeds to encounter some Weird Puzzle Shit, which he solves with the help of a nearby Small Piece of Rubble. Unfortunately, shortly after the puzzle is solved, some Natives capture Nigel's Thornberry, who ends up placed in a Berry Proof Prison.
In the meantime, Bob finds himself chased by a Savage Flying Machine. He escapes by crash landing into a building, but he could not escape unscathed, and finds himself punctured with a Strange Red Dart. He shortly suffers Space Madness, which gives him vivid hallucinations of Horrifying Creepy Space Bug Creatures and their secret organization. He wakes up bound to a Metal Surface, confronted with a Barbaric Witch Doctor and its Cannibal Apprentice. However, through clever use of his (newly regained) Transmogrify and Intimidate skills, he escapes, scare off the Cannibal Apprentice, and neutralize the Barbaric Witch Doctor (with another Strange Red Dart). He then transmogrifies himself into the Witch Doctor's form and exits the room in which he was kept. After a brief scuffle, Bob stumbles upon a Primitive Armory and new equipment, including a Tendrilled Spear, an Unfinished Helmet, and a Porous War-Cube.
Using his new weapons (and an impromptu gas grenade created by Nigel's Thornberry's ripening in the Berry Proof Prison), Bob is able to obtain his trusty Zap Gun back. Unfortunately, he attempts to transmogrify and winds up liquefied and absorbed by the Porous War-Cube. After attempting several awesome but impractical forms, including the dreaded Porous War-Cube Octopus, Bob tears the War-Cube into shreds from the inside. Meanwhile, the events inside the War-Cube caused the Universal Mistranslator previously embedded in Bob's brain to fall to the floor. Bob's rival, Steve John the Drop, bursts into the room with a gun-wielding Savage, who fires another red dart at Bob.
Characters Edit
Space Opera makes use of a wide array of colorful characters.
- Bob the Drip
Simultaneously renowned for his tenacity, friendliness, and oblivious nature, Bob is the protagonist of Space Opera. While quick to initiate his Hug Analogue: Playful Footsie, Bob also clearly displays the qualities of ignorance - automatically assuming that the Natives of the planet he crash landed on are savages. Bob is a Drip - a species with a circular body, two feet, eyes, and no mouth. He has proven himself capable of escaping threatening scenarios, but also has a clumsy side to him - an aspect of his nature that, more often than not, leads to injury.
- Nigel (Wesley)
The sapling that came to be called Nigel originated from the burnt remains of what once was a Savage Foliage. Quickly growing a Friendship Blossom and a single eye, Nigel happily became Bob's sidekick for an all-too-short period of time. After being flattened by Bob's teetering spacecraft, Nigel's Friendship Blossom fell off, only to be intimidated by Bob, fleeing into the distance. When Bob accidentally triggered his Space Suit's Rocket Boots and sent himself hurling backwards into the horizon, Nigel, with nothing left to connect himself to Bob, became Feral. After growing several blossoms, renaming himself Wesley, and doing battle with several Native Savages, he created a Thornberry, and entered a dormant state to heal his battle wounds.
- Nigel's Thornberry
A Thornberry created by the Feral Nigel, then called Wesley, Nigel's Thornberry takes the form of a small fruit with a stem, stubby limbs, a single eye, and a mouth. It is fond of sleeping, dancing, singing, and attempting cartwheels. It seems to have also acquired Bob's natural friendliness, choosing to jump on and hug the limb on a Native that was not paying attention.
- Native Savages
The 'Native Savages' are the indigenous people of the planet on which Bob has crash landed. Much of the humor of the Adventure derives from Bob's assumptions that the 'Savages' are incompetent beasts, when in actuality they seem to be fairly technologically advanced - having hospitals, helicopters, and other mechanical objects that display their obvious levels of higher intelligence. They are circular creatures with only one eye, and two long legs that comprise most of their height. Size can vary from one barely taller than Bob to one tall enough to step on the drip to neutralize him.
- Horrifying Creepy Space Bug Creatures
Little is known about these bugs, except that they appear to have the ability to talk, have some sort of secret organization, and are exceptionally frightening to those succumbing to space madness. Also, they are somewhat fragile - Bob has accidentally smashed one when trying to engage it in Playful Footsie.
- Small Piece of Rubble
When Nigel's Thornberry first found himself on the roof of a Savage Building, he made use of a small piece of rubble to smash the light behind a green button he had pulled off a machine. Finding that the button did not fit on his head due to his Problematic Stem, he gave the button to the gravel to use as a hat. Not satisfied, he scrawled a crude smiling face on the gravel, and recruited it as an inanimate member of his espionage team.

Well it's Monday folks and I guess we all are back at work !!!!
I got some play time in this weekend and wanted to show you another one of the latest release's from Lily Of The Valley.

If you're just getting started running, you may quickly find out that shin splints can be the bane of your existence. However, these products can help manage the pain and maybe even shin splints altogether.
Before You Make a Purchase
Before you spend your hard-earned cash, it's important to know that there are some things you
More often than not, shin splints are usually caused by running too fast / far too soon. Take It Extremely Slow When you start doing that, you can look to yourself.
Once you start doing that, you can look to it tangible remedies to help with your shin splints.
A Decent Pair of Actual Running Shoes
Sometimes, a pair of Actual Running Shoes is all it takes to fix most pains in your legs
We've covered some shoe options in the past, and those are just starting out in the right direction for a pair of running shoes. But the best thing you can do is go to a local running store and get a gait analysis.
Professionals there wants to look and watch how your foot lands. From there, they can recommend the optimal type of running shoe for you.
Compression Socks / Sleeves [PleaseNotice:Thisisanautomaticallytranslatedarticle!19659003]
For many runners, CEP.
For many runners, CEP is the go-to brand for compression products. You can buy them as knee-high socks, or just get a pair of sleeves that just cover the lower leg.
Put them on their way and they'll help with muscle soreness. They may also be useful for non-running purposes, like keeping circulation in their legs on car or plane rides.
A Foam Roller
Honestly, you do not need to get super fancy Here's what the AmazonBasics model for just $ 10, which we recommend in previous buying guides as well.
Ice Pack Wraps
Of course, you just could Use Ziploc bags filled with ice, but a more convenient solution is to use ice pack wraps that y TheraPAQ that has all the sorts of uses.
Grab a couple of them and you can both enjoy the same time.
A Treadmill
While it's an expensive product, a treadmill offers a slightly softer surface to run on
I'd highly recommend either using a friend's treadmill or trying at the first to see if a treadmill does the trick for you. If so, you could spend a lot of money on a treadmill, but NordicTrack makes a decent budget option if you'd rather not spend over $ 1,000. Otherwise, you can read this with all sorts of bells and whistles.

The State Prosecutor's Office filed an indictment against seven suspects of "Jewish terror" on Monday, after weeks of drama around the spate of Shin Bet-led arrests.
Charges include arms smuggling and violence against Palestinians and their property.
At least five of the seven arrested have been denied legal counsel until now, raising speculation and fear over the Shin Bet's interrogation process.
The suspected cell members have been named as:
- Pinhas Shendorfi, 22, a resident of Kiryat Arba near Hevron
- Itamar Ben Aharon, 20, a resident of Nahaliel in Samaria
- Michael Kaplan, 20, of Nahaliel
- "MH", a minor, also of Nahaliel
- "BS", a minor, of Nahaliel
- An unnamed IDF soldier from Nahaliel
Among the attacks the cell members admitted to was the assault in June 2015 of a Palestinian farmer, in which the victim was beaten with sticks and sprayed with pepper spray, as well as a firebomb attack on a home in the Palestinian Arab village of Mazar'a Kabalia in November of the same year.
In a chilling echo of the Duma attack - which security services say was also the work of Jewish extremists - the firebomb was hurled into the house at night while the family slept. One of the firebombs bounced off the window and failed to penetrate the home, preventing a potential tragedy.
The attackers sprayed the words "revenge", "death to the Arabs" and "Jews, awaken" on the door of the home, indicating the attack may have been intended as revenge for Arab terrorism.
During December, the cell threw a CS gas grenade into a home in the Palestinian Arab village of Bitilu, in revenge for the arrest of the suspected Jewish terrorists behind the Duma attack.
In that incident, the father of the family awoke from the noise, and experienced difficulty breathing and irritation to his eyes. He immediately evacuated his wife and infant son from the house - his alertness and quick reactions likely preventing more severe casualties. The attackers spray painted the words "Revenge - regards from the prisoners of Zion" on the wall of the house, in reference for the detained Duma suspects.
The cell members also admitted to torching a number of Palestinian cars over the past few years, including the arson of a car in Bitilu in October 2015, and another car previously in the same village in July 2014.
Indictments are to be filed against the suspects on a number of serious terrorism charges over the coming days.
According to the Shin Bet, the cell was connected to the same collective of several dozen extremists involved or connected to the Duma arson. Known as the "Revolt", the group is not believed to be a centralized organization but a number of independent cells inspired by a fringe extremist ideology which calls for the overthrow of the State of Israel and the imposition of a Jewish Kingdom.

10:30 AM - Connor Dress Rehearsal - M113
4:30 PM - Tuesday Lecture - Daniel Morganstern, Cello - Room 130
Daniel Morganstern has served as solo cellist for two of America's most prestigious organizations, the American Ballet Theatre at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, and the Lyric Opera of Chicago, for over three decades. He has performed virtually every major cello solo from the opera and ballet repertoire with such stars as Pavarotti, Domingo, Sutherland, Ramey, Fleming, Baryshnikov, Makavora, and Nureyev on national radio and television broadcasts.
Praised as a "first-rate cellist" in the New York Times and a "superb cellist" in The Strad, his New York recitals have included three at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, five at Carnegie Recital Hall, two concerts broadcast live over WNYC from the Brooklyn Museum in collaboration with the noted pianists Richard Goode and Ursula Oppens and recitals at the Lincoln Center Library and the New York Cultural Center. Donal Henahan, chief critic for the New York Times, hailed him as a "first rate cellist" and commented "not many modestly heralded concerts in the season proved as satisfying as this one in musicianship, ensemble coordination and grasp of style." Peter G. Davis, in addition to lauding his "warm sweet tone, sophisticated sense of lyrical expansion and command of delicate color effects," said "Daniel Morganstern brought some unusual interpretive thoughts to his largely tried-and-true cello favorites Saturday night in Tully Hall. Often his individual approach did bear fruit" in his New York Times review. In collaboration with pianist Eric Larsen he presented the complete works for cello and piano of Ludwig Van Beethoven at Carnegie Recital Hall. Bernard Holland commented in the New York Times "so rewarding was Saturday's evening of piano and cello music that one regretted missing its companion concert a week before. Rarely is this music allowed to speak in such a natural buoyant voice."

We've all seen students who spend more time preparing cheating chits than actually studying for an exam, and more often than not, the fear of being caught is crippling. For this Kerala student, things were slightly different.
The unnamed student was not only caught cheating but he also dared to beat his teacher up with a wooden stick!

According to reports, the incident took place on Friday at around 4 pm at the Chemnad Jamaath Higher Secondary School. The students were giving their model examination on Humanities when the teacher saw the student cheating.
When Bobby V Jose - a Physics teacher - questioned the 12th-grade boy, the latter got aggressive, broke open one of the wooden legs of a desk and used it to hit the teacher.
Jose was admitted to a hospital and he had a fractured hand long with injuries on his inner earlobes.

Thanks a ton for the great review……it is good to know that there are some kindred souls out there. While we are at it …..let me preen a little bit more…we have actually put up the ad on yahoo for feedback…..and it has drawn polarised response. Some people say it is fab and the others are like "huh?!". Personally I think any ad that manages to do that is successful ……..differing opinions guarantee more conversations!!

Good morning from Austin!
I really woke up in the Austin Marriott feeling pretty well for the first time in over a month. The bad news is that I might just have to stay here forever…
1. Tales of the double standard. The news media almost universally thinks that Nancy Pelosi's sarcastic applause routine at the State of the Union this week was hilarious. Let's keep this in mind the next time these people bemoan the deterioration of civic discourse and the toxic partisanship in Washington. It's such a cliché by now that it is useless to repeat it, but I'll say it anyway: imagine what the media reaction would have been if John Boehner or Paul Ryan had treated Barack Obama that disrespectfully during one of his speeches. They would have been up in arms in protest, and they would have been right. Or, if you like, imagine the fury from the news media if President Trump had responded in kind to Pelosi's affront, and raised his middle finger right in her face.
At this point, he might as well.
2. Air Travel Ethics. I usually make sure that I have an aisle seat, but this time I was stuck at a window. When the plane reached the gate, the gentleman on the aside in my row just sat there, refusing to get up and allow me and the woman in the center to begin gathering our belongings from the upper bins. The woman in the center seat did everything short of saying, "Hey, ass, get up and let us out," but he just sat there, chatting with his friend across the aisle. In actual time, this probably delayed my exit from the plane a minute or two, but the feeling of being trapped is not pleasant. I've been on hundreds of flights, and this is the first time anyone deliberately blocked me in.
3. Northam-Fairfax-Herring fiasco updates!

How to "Treat Yo Self" If You're A Little Bummed About Another BFF Getting Engaged
So, another one of your besties got engaged and you can't help but feel a little bummed? We've all been there. With tons of excited social media announcements, it can be hard to take. While we know you won't admit it, your friend's recent engagement might have you in a bit of a funk.
If you're feeling sad about your BFF saying "yes," here are sixteen fun ways to cheer yourself up.
1. Take a trip. Focus on exploring a new place rather than dwelling on negative feelings. You don't have to travel far to lift your mood, and just visiting the next town over can clear your head.
2. Go on a date with someone new. If you're single, get out there and spend some time with a new person. Even if it's a simple coffee date, you never know where it might lead!
3. Host friends at your place for cocktails. This is a great way to catch up with old friends but also mix some new faces into your social circle. Who knows, that mysterious acquaintance might turn into a treasured pal… or more.
4. Try a new restaurant or recipe. Instead of feeling down, why not make your tastebuds sing with joy? Get your inner Top Chef on with a fab new dish to make or taste test that new gastropub with its new microbrews.
5. Have a night in complete with wine, movies, and sweets. It's time to treat yourself. Grab a bottle of your favorite red (or white), some classic feel-good films, and your yummiest chocolate.
6. Do a little retail therapy. When we're feeling sad, it's often because we feel left out or ignored. Pay attention to yourself and make a mini-splurge on something lovely and wallet-friendly.
7. Pick up some fresh blooms at the grocery store. A house full of fresh flowers can't be a downer. Let the florals invigorate your spirits and spruce up your abode.
8. Get a manicure or pedicure. Let yourself be pampered to the max. Sign up for an ultra relaxing mani and pedi session for some time to kick back and not think about anything at all.
9. Make plans with your friends for a night out. Spend quality time with your dearest BFFs. Whether it's gabbing over a round of drinks, dancing the night away at a concert, or a cozy dinner at a trendy restaurant, you need some solid hang time with your besties.
10. Consider a new hairstyle or color. If you're feeling the need to refresh yourself, look no further than a new 'do. Whether it's a shade switch or a going from long locks to rocking a cropped pixie, follow your own style.
11. Splurge on something nice for your home. Your house should be a restful spot. Small, simple design touches can transform a space into a completely relaxing hideaway. Eyeing some new throw pillows? Or, an Edison lamp? Go for it and make your home uniquely-you.
12. Buy concert tickets and listen to some live music. Whether you like to let loose in the mosh pit or get lost in a trance, music can transform our emotions. Let yourself get lifted out of your funk with some life-changing tunes.
13. Head to the gym and work out your frustrations. If your emotions feel stuck, then it's time to sweat them out. Lift, train, and stretch your way out of those bad vibes. Trust us, your body and mind will thank you.
14. Take yourself on a movie date. Get the popcorn ready and catch a flick. Make a night at the theater with just you and your new fave movie. You could feel bitter at home, or you can feel amazingly better out and about. Now, just don't forget the gummy bears.
15. Visit family or friends in another city or state. If a big trip to Europe isn't in the near future, you can reach out to friends and family that aren't so close by. If you're feeling down about not finding the one , then a catch up sesh with your biggest supporters could help.
16. Read a good book and sip a cup of tea. If you want to escape but don't want to leave home, this is the best way to transport yourself to another world, or even another life. Get your Goodreads list ready and plow through those indie short stories and classic novels.

(Thanks vampire-diaries.net for transcript)
Jason: Hi. I'm Jason Harris.This is Joanne, my sister.She had a neighbour.Stefan Salvatore. He's the one who killed her, and I can prove it. That's why I followed him all the way from Manhattan... to here.
Mystic Grill Hostess: Welcome to the Mystic Grill.
Jason:Hi, I'm actually looking for the 'Salvatore Boarding House'?
Mystic Grill Hostess:Are you sure you wanna stay there?
Jason: Why not?
Mystic Grill Hostess: Because it's the creepiest place in Mystic Falls. At least that's what everybody that lives there and drinks here says.Plus, I can ask, but I think it shut down about three months ago.
Jason: What happened three months ago?
Mystic Grill Hostess:The guy that owns it, Zach Salvatore, just kicked everybody out.He had family coming home.
Jason:So Stefan Salvatore has come home to his family.Funny, because Stefan Salvatore moves around a lot.I did some checking.Seventy times in the past forty five years.Only, this is Stefan Salvatore.He's not old.He's a vampire.
Jason:I'm in the 'Salvatore Boarding House'.In a vampire's bedroom.Front door was open.Nobody's home.At least... nobody that can walk around in the day.And Stefan...He must be in the basement.In his coffin.Which is good.It'll give me time to set up a couple of surprises for him.A few traps.Right across from the door.It'll be the first thing that he sees.Garlic.It'll soak into his clothes,make him weak.Holy water.Purifies everything.He keeps a journal. Whoa.He keeps a lot of journals.(reading)" Saw her again today, at her house...""Downtown with her friends...""At the cemetery..."I'm not letting him kill anyone else.When he comes outside... I'll be ready with this. (shows the stake) Ready.And waiting.
Jason:Oh my god.Oh my god! He just jumped! Stefan Salvatore just jumped!No.Flew.Flew to the ground.But what about the garlic?The crucifix? Or...or the holy water,even?I mean, how is he even out in the sun?Shouldn't he be up in flames?Is this stake even going to work?What am I doing out here?Tracking down Dracula.Nothing makes sense.I know he killed my sister.I know he's a vampire.But if he isn't,then what?Wait...Wait,wait,wait...What is that? (sees dead rabbit)You see this rabbit?Still wet.Another one.Oh god.It's the same...It's exactly the same way they found my sister!He's still here somewhere.I have to stop this.
(Salvatore Boarding House)Jason:The place is still empty.Which means Stefan Salvatore must still be out hunting.Hello?He's more powerful than I thought.And since nothing else that I've tried has worked...And since I don't think I'm gonna get close enough to stab him...I have to be efficient.To destroy a vampire...You have to destroy his nest. And the best way to do that...Fire. Just a bird.Wait, wait, wait.I can't believe he saved this.I didn't open that window. [Sinister laugh]
Jason: You're not Stefan Salvatore. Why are you in his room?
Damon Salvatore: Don't you know it's rude to enter uninvited?
Jason: Stay back.
[Sinister laugh]
You stay back.
Jason:You killed my sister...You killed my sister!
Damon: Say 'hi' to the nice people of Mystic Falls. And now... say goodbye. (kills him)

Redhead of the week archive
I enjoyed learning about the PH scale. I love being unique and always turning heads when…. Brobi Wan - December 1, 0. Latina pornstar pic gal. Visiting Home After 2 Years of Living Overseas As I am writing this, I am sitting on an Air New Zealand plane pretty comfortable, minus the annoying dude with a snobbish attitude sitting in front of me, having reclined his seat right after take off, and now giving me a hard time typing as he is bumping around in his seat; my typing is naturally annoying him, oh well, the happy moments of flying. How do you feel about Halloween or carnival for my overseas folks in general? As I am striving for balance through gratitude and more mindful living, I came to create this weekly blog series that is not only meant to help me reflect upon what I can be thankful for, but hopefully inspires you to turn inward, also, and actively remember a few things that happened this week that you can be grateful for.

Alburtis Water Line FAQs
Do the seasons impact my water lines in Alburtis?
Water lines are more prone to breaks at times of extreme temperature swings, both cold and hot. The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission and the American Society of Civil Engineers recommends that just a 10-degree modification in temperature level can increase tension on water mains and service lines, and increase their risk of damage.5 Pipes end up being breakable when water temperatures get below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, while air temperatures at or below freezing cause the ground to freeze. Nevertheless, water pipe breaks typically do not take place up until a couple of days after the freezing temperature levels show up due to the fact that water temperature takes more time to decrease than air temperature level.
There is water puddling on my residential or commercial property and my water expense is abnormally high. What's causing this?
With our leakage detection techniques we can find the leak and repair work or change the pipe as needed. Let us help you avoid unneeded property damage, minimize your water bill, and account for noticeable water loss.
Am I responsible for the water lines or it the city?
The water service line is the underground pipe that delivers water to your home, and runs from the water main on your street to the basement or crawl space under your house. You as the property owner are responsible for repair or replacement of your service line if it develops a leak. The City is just responsible for the water main, and not for individual service line repair or replacement.
How do you identify an issue with my Alburtis water line to figure out if it has to be changed?
Throughout a break an emergency water line repair, an expert from our team will first control the water by closing the valves. We find the leak by utilizing an electronic leak detector and dig down the pipe.

At first, Utah Jazz forward Kyle Korver wondered if his teammate was to blame for wahat happened. Details were fuzzy at first but it appeared that one of his black teammates had gotten arrested and had a wild incident with police outside of a Manhattan club.
"What was he doing out in a club?" Korver remembers thinking. It was a blame game as old as time. The "Yeah, but" that people often give when hearing about an incident between police and a black victim. What was he doing? How was he to blame? What did he do to make this happen? Korver experienced those knee jerks.
But he caught himself. And as time wore on, Korver began to see his reaction as being indicative of a larger issue: He had the privilege to care or not care. The white privilege.
Korver wrote on op ed in the Players Tribune, published last week, titled "Privileged". In it, Korver details his journey through white privilege and the events that have transpired during his NBA career that led him to examine his whiteness and what his whiteness entitles him to.
"When the police break your teammate's leg, you'd think it would wake you up," Korver wrote. "You'd think. But nope."
Korver, who grew up in Iowa, was referring to a 2015 incident in New York City where, while Korver was a member of the Atlanta Hawks, his teammate Thabo Sefolosha was assaulted by police officers and thrown in jail.
Sefolosha is a player of South African and Swiss descent whose family fled South Africa because of Apartheid before settling in Switzerland was arrested for allegedly resisting arrest and refusing to move from a scene where another NBA player was stabbed.
Former Milwaukee Buck Chris Copeland, who was playing for the Indiana Pacers at the time, was stabbed along with his girlfriend while they were walking to their car outside a Manhattan Club called 1 OAK.
Sefolosha and Hawks forward Pero Antic came outside when they heard Copeland had been stabbed. Police told them to leave the area and both were arrested for refusing. Sefolosha had a verbal exchange with one of the officers. Police then jumped on him and one officer hit him with a baton, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court against five police officers and the City of New York.
Sefolosha suffered a broken leg during the melee and was forced to miss the remainder of the season. He was ultimately acquitted of misdemeanor criminal charges and the city was forced to pay him a settlement.
Korver wrote in his op ed that when the rest of the team heard about the incident the next morning he was initially skeptical of Sefolosha's account. Korver remembers thinking he had to have done something bad for the police to react that way. Before even knowing all the details, Korver laid the blame on his teammate.
Korver said he struggled personally with what his reaction as a white guy had been to what his friend of color had just gone through. He felt as though he had let Sefolosha down even though he hadn't even witnessed the incident.
For a number of years it gnawed at Korver until a new flashpoint ignited those feelings all over again.
Korver was an All-Star while with the Atlanta Hawks, who were coached by current Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer. Following his stint in Atlanta, Korver played on Cavs teams that went to back-to-back NBA Finals before settling back in Salt Lake City with the Jazz.
One of the reasons Korver chose to return to Utah was the presence of several friends on the Jazz team, including Sefolosha, who Korver says is one of his best friends in life. Conversations with Sefolosha have contributed greatly to Korver's growth as a person and informed his reaction to a new incident that occured in 2019.
On March 11, 2019, Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook had an altercation with a fan in Salt Lake City at the end of the bench during a game between the Thunder and the Jazz. The fan yelled racist comments at Westbrook, including telling him to "Get on your knees like you're used to". Westbrook, in turn, threatened to assault both the fan and his wife and refused to be pulled away from the incident by teammates.
In a postgame press conference Westbrook stood resolute and adamant that his response, while aggressive, was necessary. Westbrook said the fan told him to get down on his knees, amongst other comments.
"I think that's racial," Westbrook told the press afterwords, "For me, disrespect will not be taken from me. That's just one video but I sit back and take it a lot of times, especially here in Utah. Everytime I come here there's a lot of disrespectful things that are said. And for me, I'm not just gonna continue to take disrespect of my family and I just think that there's gotta be something done. There's gotta be consequences for those people who just come and say anything they want to say. And if I had to do it over again, I would say exactly the same thing because I truly will stand up for myself and my family."
For Korver and the members of the Utah Jazz roster, as well as the greater Jazz organization, it was a galvanizing and thought provoking moment. Korver detailed team meetings and conversations within the organization about what should be done about it. Salt Lake City has a national reputation of being one of the most racist NBA cities. Players for years have complained about the atmosphere. The Jazz, for their part, decided to do all they could to ensure a change in image. The Jazz released multiple public statements, including addressing the fans at a subsequent home game, saying that they stand against racism as an organization. The Jazz banned the fan for life along with other fans involved in the incident.
But for Korver personally he found himself at the crossroads of privilege once again. Korver detailed a closed door meeting the Jazz had following the incident and how his teammates of color told ownership about all the degrading, insulting and horrific thing fans say to them that are racially charged. Korver said that one teammate felt as though he was a zoo animal for fans.
Korver, who had initially assumed the incident was just Westbrook being Westbrook, looked over at Thabo Sefolosha and remembered what he had gone through in NYC. Korver remembered how embarrassed he himself was at his own ignorance to what a teammate of color experiences in contacts with police.
Korver talked about how no matter what he does to support his teammates and friends of color, no matter how he commits to being an ally, his privilege is that he has the choice to do those things. Korver calls it "The Privilege of Opting In." He can stand in solidarity with people in his life who are facing racism and oppression….. Or he can just blend into the white crowd. That's his privilege.
Ultimately, Korver has decided not to blend in. His teammates of color can't when they go out at night. Particularly in Salt Lake City. His evolution has been recognizing covert racism, listening to what people's issues are, and wanting to stand in solidarity with the people of color in his life.
Korver seems committed to making sure that from now on his knee jerk reaction isn't "What did he do?" but becomes "What happened to him?"

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday, September 10, chided Vice President Maria Leonor "Leni" Robredo for questioning his advice to cops to accept gifts from Filipinos expressing gratitude for their service.
Hitting back at Robredo, Duterte reiterated his previous stance that the Vice President cannot be his successor, as the latter "[does] not even read the book."
He believed that the country would "suffer," should Robredo assume the highest position in the land.
"I quoted the very words, anti-graft and corrupt practices. There is an exemption there. Nominal. I use the word nominal out of gratitude. Alam mo Pilipino, ganoon (That's being practiced by the Filipino)," Duterte said during the oustanding government workers awards rites at Palace's Rizal Hall.
"Hindi naman ako basta mag-ano ng bunganga. Tapos Si Leni talaga, 'kasi illegal at saka unconstitutional.' Hay, sabi ko, ma'am kung ikaw ang presidente ng Pilipinas, patay. You do not even read the book," he added.
(I will not make any pronouncement without thinking. But Leni said it's illegal and unconsitutional. I said, ma'am, if you're the President of the Philippines, the country will suffer. You do not even read the book.)
In a speech delivered on August 9, the President told cops that they can accept gifts, as long as they do not compromise their integrity.
Duterte also vowed not to sanction any policemen who will accept gifts from grateful Filipinos, as it could not be considered as bribery.
Refuting Duterte's pronouncement, Robredo said cops accepting gifts violate Republic Act (RA) 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.
RA 6713 forbids public servants from "soliciting or accepting, directly or indirectly, any gift, gratuity, favor, entertainment, loan or anything of monetary value from any person in the course of their official duties or in connection with amy operation being regulated by, or any transaction which may be affected by the functions of their office."
In his latest speech, the President maintained that police officers can receive a gift as a reward for their hardwork.
"That is the major policy, So magtanggap ka. 'Yun ang policy (Accept gifts. That's the policy)," he said.
"Ngayon, if you are able to solve a crime tapos bigyan ka ng Mercedes Benz, p***** i**, kalokohan na iyan. Ibig sabihin tinakot mo na ang nakidnap na, sabihin mo, 'Ako na ang kikidnap sayo sunod,'" Duterte added.
(Now, if you are able to solve a crime and you receive Mercedes Benz, son of a b****, that's unacceptable. That means you threatened the kidnapped person and tell him that you'll be the one to kidnap him again.)
Malacañang earlier defended Duterte's remarks, as it cited RA 6713, which allows government employees and officials to accept "unsolicited gifts of nominal or insignificant value not given in anticipation of, or in exchange for, a favor." (SunStar Philippines)

Any possibility of new forum: Hypothesis – MS Not Autoimmune
Does anyone here think this would be a good idea?
Example of possible first file sticky:

Possible second post:
2. Chaudhuri: "Multiple Sclerosis is not an Autoimmune Disease" --in Archives of Neurology, a comment (The following link only supplies the first 150 words to the article. I know someone here has the PDF file of the full text.)

(I do not have a PDF file for this editorial; anybody?)
Seriously, it would be great if we gathered all scientific evidence against the autoimmune hypothesis (yes, it is nothing more than an unproven hypothesis) in one place.
+1 from me, provided that it will be limited to why MS is not autoimmune and nothing more.

Re: Any possibility of new forum: Hypothesis – MS Not Auto
Researcher Contends Multiple Sclerosis Is Not A Disease Of The Immune System
03 Jan 2012
An article published Friday Dec. 23 in the December 2011 issue of The Quarterly Review of Biology argues that multiple sclerosis, long viewed as primarily an autoimmune disease, is not actually a disease of the immune system. Dr. Angelique Corthals, a forensic anthropologist and professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, suggests instead that MS is caused by faulty lipid metabolism, in many ways more similar to coronary atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) than to other autoimmune diseases.
Framing MS as a metabolic disorder helps to explain many puzzling aspects of the disease, particularly why it strikes women more than men and why cases are on the rise worldwide, Corthals says. She believes this new framework could help guide researchers toward new treatments and ultimately a cure for the disease.
Multiple sclerosis affects at least 1.3 million people worldwide. Its main characteristic is inflammation followed by scarring of tissue called myelin, which insulates nerve tissue in the brain and spinal cord. Over time, this scarring can lead to profound neurological damage. Medical researchers have theorized that a runaway immune system is at fault, but no one has been able to fully explain what triggers the onset of the disease. Genes, diet, pathogens, and vitamin D deficiency have all been linked to MS, but evidence for these risk factors is inconsistent and even contradictory, frustrating researchers in their search for effective treatment.
"Each time a genetic risk factor has shown a significant increase in MS risk in one population, it has been found to be unimportant in another," Corthals said. "Pathogens like Epstein-Barr virus have been implicated, but there's no explanation for why genetically similar populations with similar pathogen loads have drastically different rates of disease. The search for MS triggers in the context of autoimmunity simply hasn't led to any unifying conclusions about the etiology of the disease."
However, understanding MS as metabolic rather than an autoimmune begins to bring the disease and its causes into focus.
Corthals believes that the primary cause of MS can be traced to transcription factors in cell nuclei that control the uptake, breakdown, and release of lipids (fats and similar compounds) throughout the body. Disruption of these proteins, known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), causes a toxic byproduct of "bad" cholesterol called oxidized LDL to form plaques on the affected tissue. The accumulation of plaque in turn triggers an immune response, which ultimately leads to scarring. This is essentially the same mechanism involved in atherosclerosis, in which PPAR failure causes plaque accumulation, immune response, and scarring in coronary arteries.
"When lipid metabolism fails in the arteries, you get atherosclerosis," Corthals explains. "When it happens in the central nervous system, you get MS. But the underlying etiology is the same."
A major risk factor for disruption of lipid homeostasis is having high LDL cholesterol. So if PPARs are at the root of MS, it would explain why cases of the disease have been on the rise in recent decades. "In general people around the world are increasing their intake of sugars and animal fats, which often leads to high LDL cholesterol," Corthals said. "So we would expect to see higher rates of disease related to lipid metabolism - like heart disease and, in this case, MS." This also explains why statin drugs, which are used to treat high cholesterol, have shown promise as an MS treatment.
The lipid hypothesis also sheds light on the link between MS and vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D helps to lower LDL cholesterol, so it makes sense that a lack of vitamin D increases the likelihood of the disease - especially in the context of a diet high in fats and carbohydrates.
Corthals's framework also explains why MS is more prevalent in women.
"Men and women metabolize fats differently," Corthals said. "In men, PPAR problems are more likely to occur in vascular tissue, which is why atherosclerosis is more prevalent in men. But women metabolize fat differently in relation to their reproductive role. Disruption of lipid metabolism in women is more likely to affect the production of myelin and the central nervous system. In this way, MS is to women what atherosclerosis is to men, while excluding neither sex from developing the other disease."
In addition to high cholesterol, there are several other risk factors for reduced PPAR function, including pathogens like Epstein-Barr virus, trauma that requires massive cell repair, and certain genetic profiles. In many cases, Corthals says, having just one of these risk factors isn't enough to trigger a collapse of lipid metabolism. But more than one risk factor could cause problems. For example, a genetically weakened PPAR system on its own might not cause disease, but combining that with a pathogen or with a poor diet can cause disease. This helps to explain why different MS triggers seem to be important for some people and populations but not others.
"In the context of autoimmunity, the various risk factors for MS are frustratingly incoherent," Corthals said. "But in the context of lipid metabolism, they make perfect sense."
Much more research is necessary to fully understand the role of PPARs in MS, but Corthals hopes that this new understanding of the disease could eventually lead to new treatments and prevention measures.
"This new framework makes a cure for MS closer than ever," Corthals said.
