A week in Langley Memorial Hospital after a stroke in 2013 convinced Allan Skidmore he wanted to help improve the facility.
"It was Christmas Day. All these people were working and I was worried about turkey and the kids, getting gifts," he said.
At that time there was no ER refurbishment even on the horizon. Fraser Health did a facility assessment in 2014, and decided to focus on updating and expanding the emergency department.
"The staff and the nurses and the doctors were just amazing," Skidmore said.
But the facility was cramped and would only get worse with the population growth, he said.
Skidmore has since required the services of the local hospital for an appendix operation about two years later and this year for blood poisoning.
The 71-year-old is happy to contribute to the ER campaign, and is no stranger to giving.
"It's [the donation] through the Allan Skidmore Family Charitable Foundation," he explained.
He and his wife, Clarice, have lived in Langley since 1999.
In the past he was behind businesses such as Novus Glass and other glass firms. He and his brother started Wireless Wave which sold to Bell about three years ago. Now he's involved in a kitchen cabinet business and says he never plans to retire.
He's been a supporter of Trinity Western University for more than 20 years and gave $3 million to BC Children's Hospital after his grandchild had health issues.
Monday's announcement was also a chance to tell about the other sizable donation to the foundation campaign.
The Martini family has lived in Langley for more than 40 years when the population was about 30,000.
Well known in business circles and the community, Ron and Maria Martini wanted to support the local hospital and are giving $5 million to the ER campaign.
"Through the years we have been to the Langley hospital for different reasons and seen the need for it to be improved," Maria said.
Two huge donations kicked off the fundraising campaign for the new emergency ward at Langley Memorial Hospital. The Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation had committed to raising $11 million of the $30 ER expansion price tag but has now upped the amount to $15 million.
"We are blessed to be able to do it," Ron said of the donation.
Maria is hoping the Martini family contribution inspires other to support the ER expansion.
"Everyone can participate by supporting the Emergency Response! campaign," she said.
Martini said the ER project could be just the start.
"The dream for our family is this new emergency department for this hospital would be a stepping stone to a new hospital one day," Martini noted.
The $15-million community drive, dubbed Emergency Response!, was launched Monday. In addition to detailed plans for the new ER, the announcement was also made that Langley hospital will be getting an MRI suite, a first in the community's history.
The new MRI will be operational in 2019, while the emergency department is slated to open in fall 2020.
Currently Fraser Health has the second longest wait times for MRIs. Langley residents must travel to Abbotsford or Surrey.
"The average wait time for Langley residents requiring an MRI is 18 months," noted Vivian Smith, executive director of the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation.
This is the largest fundraising campaign in Langley's history, the hospital announced.
"We are grateful to the Martini and Skidmore families for their generosity," said Phil Jackman, campaign chair for the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation's Emergency Response campaign.
Jackman is a local businessman who has spent most of his life here.
"I came on board after visiting the emergency ward myself," he said.
Jackman said the staff were exceptional, but the facility is outdated and beyond repair.
"We have hallway stretchers that are almost always full and provide very little to no privacy," Jackman said.
The hospital has one trauma bay.
"We are working in a space built to support half of the population we now treat," he added.
Langley Memorial Hospital opened in 1948. And the hospital has not kept pace with Langley's extraordinary growth.
"I'm proud of the people I work with – they are passionate about their work and they are exceptional at providing quality patient care. But this good care is provided in the most challenging conditions," said Dr. Willem De Vynck, an emergency physician in Langley.
"The new emergency department will double our current footprint and ensure that as Langley continues to grow, people in this community will have access to emergency care, in a space built to meet their needs."
The $7 million gifts make a big dent in the foundation commitment. The foundation efforts are ramped up because construction begins later this year.
"My goal would be to have it complete in a year," Smith said of the campaign.
She said there will be more donor announcements in the coming months and opportunities for people to contribute.
"Smaller gifts are important. Everybody's gifts are important," Smith said.

Cape Town – The SABC has been hit by a viewership plunge for several shows following abrupt local TV content moves, with the popular weekday soap 7de Laan on SABC2 shedding hundreds of thousands of viewers and SABC3 confronting a schedule disaster.
On SABC3 every single one of its new local shows that started in July has been a ratings flop. (Read more here)
Just a few months after it announced changes to its TV schedules in February, the SABC in July once again upended its TV channels' schedules in a month that also saw the abrupt firing of Verona Duwarkah as the SABC's head of television who was replaced with Nomsa Philiso.
The SABC's TV schedules rejig from July was a result of the public broadcaster's chief operating officer (COO) Hlaudi Motsoeneng who ordered a drastic cut-back to international TV content as part of his plan for 90% local content on the SABC's TV channels, starting with 80% local programming on SABC3 from July.
In July ad agency executives warned the SABC that the public broadcaster is going to experience huge losses in terms of advertising revenue if the sudden new slate of programmes doesn't manage to lure viewers and get ratings.
With 7de Laan moved later to 19:00 on SABC2 as part of the changes, the popular Afrikaans weekday soap shed a shocking 269 527 viewers in just one month from June to July to plunge from 5th place on SABC2 in June to a shocking 9th place on SABC2's ratings with 1.81 million viewers (5.4 AR / 15.4 share).
Ironically it was again the American soaps, The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of Our Lives that Hlaudi Motsoeneng wants to get rid of, that did the bulk of the lifting to lure viewers to SABC3.
On SABC1, the local primetime soap Generations The Legacy pulled ahead marginally ahead of Uzalo for the second time since May, grabbing 8.3 million viewers (24.7 AR / 68.7 share) in July, compared to Uzalo's 8.1 million (24.3 AR / 64.3 share).
The SABC1 schedule is the one the SABC needs to be least worried about, with a stable performance from reliable locally produced programmes bringing in strong ratings.
On SABC2 in July its top-rated show, the Venda weekday soap Muvhango was down to 5.7 million to June's 5.8 million.
Besides the plunging 7de Laan, the Afrikaans news on SABC2 fell to 14th place (1.43 million) from 12th (1.47 million) in June in its changed timeslot. SABC2's Sotho news bulletin also shed viewers from 1.69 million in June to 1.36 million in July.
Local SABC2 shows Thola, Skwizas, It's Gospel Time, Keletso, the live Lotto draw, Speak Out all saw marginal viewership upticks, but the Mmampodi and Fokus viewership were lower compared to the previous month.
On e.tv the ratings for both its cornerstone soaps Scandal! and Rhythm City were marginally lower in July (4.8 million and 3.5 million).
Meanwhile Leon Schuster came to e.tv's aid as the hidden camera prankster scored the 1st, 3rd, and 4th most watched places on e.tv's top 20 list for July with Mr Bones (5.1 million), Mama Jack (4.3 million) and Mr Bones 2: Back from the Past (4.1 million) luring in millions of viewers.
The e.tv decision to cancel its local telenovela Ashes to Ashes was a right move: its viewership took a whopping dive from June to July from 3.2 million viewers to 2.5 million. WWE Wrestling Raw and Zbondiwe remained steady.
Meanwhile the Broadcasting Research Council of South Africa (BRC) that has massively curtailed the South African public's access to TV viewership figures the past year has decided to further redact and marginalise the information, now only supplying a combined top 30 programme list for MultiChoice's DStv for July, instead of for a selection of individual DStv channels it did since earlier this year.
In July the 12th season of veteran reality signing contest show Idols, now just on the Mzansi Magic channel roared back as a hit with 1.12 million viewers.
Uefa Euro 2016 and Vodacom Super Rugby on the SuperSport channels and Tom & Jerry Tales on Turner Broadcasting's Boomerang were some of the top viewership drawa on DStv during July.
Meanwhile Mzansi Magic's Our Perfect Wedding, Igazi, Isibaya, Rockville, Date My Family, Doubt, Isikizi, Ring of Lies and Greed & Desire dominating the ratings and most-watched list on DStv.

When you see a pregnant teen one of the first things you do is judge her. You judge her by her appearance and her age assuming that she made a terrible mistake. Most people think that as a pregnant teen the girl has already had enough problems. Most do not grudge pregnant teens an education. It is most teens who decide to stop attending school. These choices are made for various reasons.
Peers may indeed be prejudiced toward a pregnant student but most adults understand the need of an education. Peers may attempt to get teens to drop out by being less than kind. Pregnant teens are often left to defend themselves in their local schools. While parents and teachers are most often encouraging the teen to continue their education their peers are encouraging them not to.
Some few cases may leave parents feeling ashamed of their teen. Cases like this may lead to the parents wanting to keep the teen home and out of sight of friends and neighbors. The parents are not prejudiced toward school they are prejudiced to their own child's appearance and condition. They still want their child to get an education but they often choose to do so at home instead of in a public or private school system.
Reality is that many times the teen chooses to drop out of school because of the feeling of being ashamed, confused, and scared. It is hard to face peers that may or may not any longer accept you. It also becomes hard to keep up grades and honors with so much stress on both your mind and body. Many teens get tired of trying and simply give up because they feel no one supports them in their efforts anymore. Parents are also easily persuaded at this point and may allow the teen to do and make decisions they normally would not.
Though most people are not prejudiced toward pregnant teens in school some are. A teen should not be judged in school because of being pregnant but sometimes it happens. Most pregnant teens have already lost enough of their childhood. I do not feel it is right to further harm her by not wanting her to get the best education she can. She is no different than any other girl and deserves the education she is entitled to. She is going to need a solid foundation to provide for new life in the near future. The obvious is a mistake was made on the teens part but that mistake does not and should not reflect on her ability to get a good education. We all make mistakes. Encourage pregnant teens to stay in school to better prepare for not only their lives but that of their childs as well. The choice is entirely up to you. Do the right thing support her not discourage her.

MMRA - The Path to Greatness

About MMRA
Past Champs
March 2006 - MMRA Newsletter
Hello Racers!
Weekly paved short track racing in the United States is struggling.
Many like to blame televised NASCAR racing but I believe one of the main
reasons is the cost of racing has risen exponentially over the years, while
purses have stayed the same or declined. Put simply - not as many
people can afford to race.
In years past, this wasn't as big of an issue
for MMRA. Our minicup racecars were (and still are) very inexpensive
to race. Now, as we have brought Baby Grand racecars into our program,
and established our Touring Series, we have placed far greater emphasis on
lowering the cost of racing. Our schedule this year reflects our
efforts - by grouping more events in fewer weekends, we are reducing travel
costs for all our racers.
For Baby Grand racers, we have worked with the
manufacturer to reduce costs in several ways. The new 2006 Hoosier
tires will last just as long as the old style Goodyears, while saving
$80/set. Similarly, the new Aero Wheels save $20/set over the old
style Bassett wheels. Even the new bodies offer replacement noses and
tails for only $159 - far less than the cost of repairing the old style
bodies at a body shop.
There is one area that I have been thinking about
that may offer more cost saving potential. In Baby Grands, the most
expensive part on the car is the engine. Furthermore, when one blows,
it often costs not only that competitor, but also possibly the ones behind
him on the track. This was the case in Florida, where one car
blew a motor in practice, and then two more had bad crashes after hitting
the oil. In short, if there was a way to increase engine life, and
reduce engine failures, it could offer great cost savings to the racers.
Apparently, we are not alone in our thoughts on this topic. I was
reading an article on page 28 of the March 1, 2006 National Speed Sport
newspaper about a mandatory ignition system in the ARCA Re-Max series.
In ARCA, all cars are required to use a Mallory ignition that limits the RPM
of the engine to 8800. In summary, the article describes how lowering
the max RPM increased engine life, and brought the competition closer
together. ARCA has been very happy with the program and is planning to
continue it.
NASCAR has a different rule designed to produce the same
result - they have put a new gear rule in place that effectively limits the
RPM for the Nextel Cup Series.
Finally, the ASA Late Model Series has also
come out with a mandatory ignition rule this year. They have partnered
with Crane Cams who produce a spec ignition box used by all competitors
which limits RPM to 6200. The motivation was lowering costs, and
ensuring close competition.
In short, many leading "big car" sanctioning
bodies have decided that lowering RPM's a bit from their max potential does
in fact save the racers money, and make for better racing on the track.
If it makes sense for series where the teams have hundreds of thousands or
millions of dollars to spend - would it make sense for our series?
If you have some feedback on this topic, or other ways we should consider
to lower the cost of MMRA racing, please let us know. Send your
e-mails to email@example.com
Thank you for your support and best wishes for a great 2006 season!

Managers are busy, often multitasking and running around to get things done.
Tending to multiple clients and managing a variety of individuals requires managers to keep a lot of information in their heads, many of it incoming and new.
You may have just had a long meeting with a client who taught you the ins and outs of their businesses, but after two more meetings right after that, all the information may have jumbled in your head.
You may have just had a training with a sales rep for a new software you will be implementing, but you were thinking about upcoming employee reviews and tuned out.
Managers are typically responsible for retaining important information and relaying it to others, but they often have a hard time with it.
It's important to learn learner retention strategies to increase your comprehension, memory and ability to teach what you have learned with these tips:
Create A Story
Storytelling is a proven learner retention strategy that works!
It is based on the science that humans can digest and remember facts easier when they can frame them into a story and relate it to their own experiences.
A story helps us remember information easier and for a longer period of time than simple facts.
One source provides four reasons for why storytelling is an effective retention strategy:
Apply The Knowledge
One simple task can bridge the gap between hearing information and retaining it and that step is applying it.
It can be as easy as listening to different facts and then solving a problem with that fact.
By allowing yourself to take new information and actually consider ways to piece it together to solve a real or imagined problem in an exercise will help your brain synthesise the information and store it.
Don't Overload Yourself
Finally, a good strategy to remember when trying to retain information is that you cannot overload yourself.
Your brain can only take in and store so much facts at a time, so it is OK to say when you feel you have reached your limit.
As well, space out the times when you plan on learning something new so that you give yourself time to rest, recharge and give your mind its best chance to utilise the information you have learned.
Thanks again

I'm taking a moment on this last friday of 2011 to look back to the year that is waving us goodbye in less than 48 hours.
The major change that happened in my life this year was moving to a new job. I began my quest in January 2011, deciding on a career change, and after 6 months of searching, thinking, doubting and worrying, I finally landed. It was not an easy decision but it's totally worth it. So, for the ones among you who are just watching the time pass in their jobs, not feeling challenged and not learning anything new, *hint* have the courage to leave your comfort zone, risk to embrace the unknown, revive your confidence and ask yourself this question: What if I'm doing the work that I really like?
And if you really feel like doing something, just do it, you can't know unless you try. And guess what? It is ok to fail.
Another thing that I'm happy I did this year was this blog and most importantly The Cube. I spent 2010 discovering blogs, reading posts and envying all those bloggers who really know what to say and find the right words to express their ideas, opinion and feelings. It's a really nice feeling to know that you have your own space where you can share your passions and all the things that matter to you. So if you feel you have something to say, go on, do it. A blog is a great place to share your thoughts and learn from others.
PS. If you are an avid reader and love books, you MUST join me in The Cube experience.
And speaking of online communication, 2011 made me fall even more in love with Twitter. Every day, I meet someone new, I come across important news, beautiful pictures, great talents, funny stuff and it always makes my day better. If you are still watching twitter from far, come close and believe me you won't regret it.
Another lovely online discovery this year was Pinterest. I just love browsing this website. It's a great window to lots of beautiful stuff and it's quite inspiring.
Back to real life, 2011 was a great year of self discovery. And gosh! I have so much work to do. But I'm happy, happy to realize those things that would make me a more mature person, bringing me a tad closer to that inner peace.
2011 also made me realize how much a lucky person I am. Lucky to have people around me that really love me. Lucky that the people I love are still by my side. Lucky to have true friends. Lucky to be in good health and having a decent life. (*knocks on wood* :P)
Thank you 2011, you taught me a lot.
2012, I have high expectations.
PS. One of my 2012 resolutions is to update this blog more often.

iOS vs. Android Users: With Dating, It Makes a Difference

- Views: 2,426
Do you have an iPhone or Android phone? Chances are, you didn't purchase one or the other by chance: you had a definite preference.
Are You Interested, a dating app for singles, decided to test out its own user base and how their dating preferences correlated to the type of phone they used. We know that things like ethnicity, income, and height play a major role in how much success a dater has online. But could your phone have an influence too, considering how much time, money and effort we put into them? In some cases, yes.
AYI found that iOS users were contacted 17% more often than Android users. Turns out, those who prefer Apple products are more desirable dates. I looked into Cupidtino, the dating site dedicated to lovers of all products Apple, to see some profiles of the most desirable users, but found that it is now defunct. I guess more options are better, even for those dedicated to Apple lovers.
Android users seem to be the ones doing the pursuing, while Apple users tend to wait to be contacted. According to the study, Android users were 12% more likely than iOS users to contact someone on AYI.
The dating app company was able to examine 20 million interactions between their users, pulling from a portion of the 2.4 million mobile downloads of the app. Since other online daters can't see what phone the other person has, AYI looked at what type of dater owned which type of phone. Interestingly, both groups skewed male, but Android users tend to be slightly older, with 42% between 45 and 60 compared to only 29% of iPhone users. Sixty-seven percent of iPhone users were under 45.
In addition, income seems to be a factor. Android users were 30% more likely to make under $60,000 than those with iPhones. Also, 83% of singles making over $150,000 owned an iOS device.
Marital status is another factor, with Android users being 20% more likely than iOS users to be divorced. Another interesting finding from the study: iOS users tend to drink 50% more often and take drugs twice as often as the Android users. On the flip side, they were also 18% more likely to work out every day compared to Android users.
In terms of education, iOS users were twice as likely to have a Master's degree and 55% more likely to have a Bachelor's degree. A whopping 72% of Android users had not completed college.
AYI studied profile information from 13,690 of its mobile app users in the United States for the study. For more information on this dating site please read our review of Are You Interested.

Had this same problem last year. Again this year, the option to add 365 days service to my order doesn't show up.
Is this still available?

People keep asking the same questions then they say come chat with us. If I wanted to chat I would do that in the first place. If they would just answer the questions HERE it might even save them time.

It's television's biggest night, with the best stars gracing the small screen all converging on Hollywood and hoping to receive awards for their hard work. However, one question remains on the minds of fans who plan to view the Emmy Awards from home—why is the ceremony taking place on a Monday night?
The weeknight seems like a strange choice for one of the biggest awards shows of the year, as most other major awards shows, like the Golden Globes, Oscars and Grammys, all tend to take place on Sunday evenings. However, the Emmys airing on a Monday isn't actually all that strange—and it's the preferred night for the show.
In an article last December which revealed the show was moving to Monday night for 2018, the Hollywood Reporter revealed that when it comes to viewership numbers, the last Monday move for the Emmys proved to be a big success. That show, which aired in 2014, wound up being the second most-watched broadcast in a decade, averaging 15.6 million viewers. By comparison, the shows which aired in 2015, 2016 and 2017, all on Sunday nights, floundered in the ratings, taking in fewer than 12 million each.
In addition, the move appears to be one made to avoid interference with "Sunday Night Football," and while a Monday night airing means regularly scheduled shows and programming had to shift production and premiere dates by a week to accommodate the event, it may be a smart and solid move for the show to make.
"The last time we had the Emmys on a Monday night, we saw record ratings," an NBC executive told Variety back in May. "We obviously are hoping for that again and are confident that we can see high numbers."
This year's show will see "Saturday Night Live" Weekend Update co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che are set to host the show for the first time. The Awards show shifts the network it airs on each year, and previous NBC hosts included fellow "SNL" alums Seth Meyers in 2014 and Jimmy Fallon in 2010.
Among the shows expecting to win big at this year's ceremony is HBO's "Game of Thrones," which leads the pack with 22 nominations for its 7th season and "Westworld," which received 21 nominations. "Saturday Night Live" also stands to potentially win big with 21 nominations, as do FX's "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story" and "Atlanta" with 18 and 16 nominations respectively.
The 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards air Monday, Sept. 17 on NBC.


text: Last nights lunar eclipse was freaking awesome. The full moon tonight is burning orange and qualifies as a full on 'fuck yeah'. It hasn't been as clear as it is tonight for a long time. You'd think that there wouldn't be anything to see given the size of this city and the light pollution generated but, star gazing the past week has been crazy good. Orion is very prominent , Jupiter can't be missed. I can't remember the last time I had to put on a shirt in the morning to cut the chill…now's the time though…yen sabai is officially here, especially at night. We no longer have the windows and patio doors wide open 24/7.

Fish was filleted and oysters were shucked as the Sydney Fish Market welcomed shoppers on Good Friday.
Key points:
- Good Friday Appeal raises more than $5 million
- Filipino Roman Catholic devotees witness a re-enactment of Jesus Christ's sufferings
- In Britain, Prince Charles delivers the Easter message for the first time
The centuries-old tradition of eating fish is still proving popular and customers started pouring through the doors long before the sun came up.
More than 50,000 visitors are expected over the next few days and fish mongers are run off their feet with some people swapping their morning cereal for fish and chips.
It's the busiest day of the year at one of the world's premier fish markets.
White fish like snapper and flathead were popular sellers.
In Victoria, a number of volunteers were rattling tins for the Good Friday Appeal to raise money for the Royal Children's Hospital.
In the 87 years since the appeal started, it has raised $327 million that has gone towards research, equipment, training and patient-centred care programs at the hospital.
Children around Australia also spent Good Friday getting a sugar fix from Easter egg hunts.
Good Friday is one of the most important days in the Christian calendar, and church leaders have both urged followers to look to young people.
In an annual video address to Christians, the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney Dr Glenn Davies said young people were leading by example.
"Many will tell you the so-called I-Generation is rejecting faith — but I don't see that at all," he said.
The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, Anthony Fisher, had a similar message.
"Our children remind us that the message of the gospel is new in every age," he said.
Large groups were expected to gather in churches across the state.
What's happening elsewhere in the world?
Pubs in the Irish Republic opened on Good Friday for the first time in 90 years.
The law banning alcohol sales was overturned two months ago, with campaigners saying it was bad for business and tourism.
Across the pond in Britain, Prince Charles delivered an Easter message in support of persecuted Christians around the world.
It was the first time that he delivered an Easter message to the public.
In the Philippines, thousands of Filipino Roman Catholics and tourists descended on a farming village north of Manila to witness the crucifixion of several men in a re-enactment of Jesus Christ's sufferings, a gory annual tradition church leaders frown upon.
Tourism officer Ching Pangilinan said at least eight men enlisted to be crucified briefly to wooden crosses by villagers dressed as Roman centurions before thousands of spectators.
The spectacle reflects a unique brand of Catholicism that merges Roman Catholic Church traditions with folk superstitions.
Many of the mostly impoverished penitents undergo the ritual to atone for sins, pray for the sick or a better life, or give thanks for what they believe were God-given miracles.
In Guatemala, a Holy Thursday procession took place in the city of Antigua Guatemala to mark the start of a series of solemn ceremonies in the lead up to Easter.
Holy Thursday is also known as Maundy Thursday.
Hundreds of people gathered to watch the traditional Stations of the Cross procession, which travelled throughout the city after leaving the Church of San Francisco.
A statue of Jesus of Nazareth, carrying a golden cross on his back, was carried through the streets by some 1,500 "cucuruchos" — young men wearing a purple and white headdress — participating in the ceremony, taking turns in order to prolong the procession.
Catholic faithful and pilgrims marched through the streets of Jerusalem's Old City on Friday, tracing the path Christian tradition says Jesus walked before his crucifixion.
Some pilgrims carried crosses as they walked the narrow Via Dolorosa.
There are 14 stations along the route, each marking an event that befell Jesus on his final walk.
The final five stations are inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is built over the area where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified and finally laid to rest before being resurrected on Easter Sunday.

Please Note
We are unfortunately unable to ship Antelope Audio to South Korea at this time.
10M is the preferred clock for trendsetting producers, audio engineers, artists and movie post-production studios
The Audiophile 10M Atomic Clock (a.k.a. Baby 10M) is an upgraded and enhanced version of the Antelope's Isochrone 10M, which has become a new industry standard for ensuring audio quality and accurate sound reproduction. Leading producers, sound engineers, artists, and movie post production studios worldwide are using the 10M Atomic Clock together with our high-end Trinity master clock. They usually describe it as "mind-blowing", an "instantaneous improvement", "superior", and fundamental in bringing "more detail, ambiance, and naturalness" to the digital signal. The results are described as "wider and more solid" with "crisp transients and a 3D depth of field."
This experience is no longer exclusive to music and film studios. Exactly the same clocking technology and atomic precision is now available to the home audio listener.
10M is Zodiac Platinum's best friend
The Audiophile 10M is especially designed to match the aesthetics of the Zodiac Platinum DSD DAC, which also has a direct 10MHz input. The pair are visually and technically perfect for each other, and together they transfer high-end studio technology directly to the home environment. With the Zodiac Platinum / 10M combo, for the first time ever, the home listener has the chance to experience the music with the same technology it was created with, sounding exactly the way it was meant to by the sound engineers that worked on it.
Use 10M with any device with a 10 MHz (BNC) input and clock two units simultaneously
Bring the original, unspoilt source to your speakers simply by connecting this ultra-accurate 10MHz clock and turning it on. The Zodiac Platinum DSD DAC will automatically switch from its crystal oscillator to the atomic clock reference, still using the 4th generation of Acoustically Focused Clocking algorithm implemented in the DAC, the same as it is in the top level Trinity Master Clock.
You can use your Audiophile 10M Atomic Clock with any device that supports 10MHz (BNC) input clock and clock two devices simultaneously.
The 10M Atomic Clock was designed to endure and stay eco-friendly
The Audiophile 10M Atomic Clock is made from only high-grade materials, including a custom-machined aluminum front panel. This sturdy mechanical construction makes it highly resistant to mechanical shocks. The much smaller chassis and heat sink of the Baby 10M, compared to that of its elder brother, is due to the implementation of energy saving technology, allowing three times less power consumption and thus a greatly reduced heat level.

Links/Blogs about CF and Transplant
Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Deep breaths...
Thought is the operative word there. I felt fine this afternoon...a little rundown but no big deal. Then I showered to get ready for dinner. Started coughing up tons of goopy junk. Gross. It got so bad I had to sit down in the shower to catch my breath. And it just kept coming and coming. My throat was on fire. I pulled myself out of the shower, made it to my bed, and proceded to spend the next 30 MINUTES just putting on jeans and a top. My hair was dripping wet, my dog was upset because something was so clearly bothering me, and I could not make it back to the bathroom without gasping. I tried to put on my O2 just to get ready and catch my breath, but honestly when I looked into the mirror and saw myself gasping, O2 canula on my face, wet hair hanging down, and now with less than 15 minutes before something I have been really looking forward to, well....I just sank down onto the bathroom floor in tears. Too much, too much. I feel like I can handle this disease most of the time, like I kind of have a grip on my own reality and have learned to excel while balancing my own needs and limitations. But seeing myself in that mirror was like looking at some sick stranger. I could not, for the life of me, connect myself with that gasping girl staring back at me.
I know most of you are waiting to hear about how I made the smart choice and curled up in bed, O2 safely on, to rest and relax my body. But I didn't. I picked myself off the floor, dried my hair, put on makeup, and went out to dinner anyway. And I tried desperately to seem okay, even at one point snapping at my wonderful companion when he asked if I was alright for the fifth time. I told him "How about I just tell you if I'm ever NOT alright, okay?" God, what a cruel thing to say to someone who was just trying to protect and help me. But I couldn't help it...all I could think about was that I had to push this CF aside, had to make it through this evening that I so wanted to make special.
Now that I'm back at home, I don't know that I regret going. I did what I did, and I'm sure in the long run going out and eating a good meal wasn't the worst thing I could do for myself. I even feel a little better now having moved some of the gunk around during the coughing. But I know something's not right, and I just hope that it's a one-time bad moment, brought on by too much excitement between halloween, the marathon, and the election. Maybe if I stay home tomorrow and really rest I'll feel better. Or maybe tomorrow I'll wake up feeling fine. CF is tricky like that.
What I do know is that tonight I was challenged by my disease. Challenged to confront my sick self and make a decision. And I made that decision, in the only way I knew how at the moment. But tomorrow, if challenged again, I hope that I'm strong enough to reach out and ask for help if I need it.

*Hugs* to you Piper. Wow.. to pick yourself up off the floor and go out to eat anyway. I don't know if I could have done that. The ups and down of this disease are sometimes almost too much to bare, but yet, we keep on keeping on.ReplyDelete
I really do hope you wake up tomorrow feeling wonderful!! :)
Hugs! This disease can be too much to bear at times. But we keep on going. We have to =]ReplyDelete
I hope you start feeling better!
BTW I found your blog from Christy's. Not sure if I have left you a comment yet or not. Anyways my name is Aimee I am 23 and I also have CF.
Wow! Every word you speak are my exact thoughts. I believe we have a lot in common when it comes to CF and life in general. I have been there and done exactly that. Please contact me by email at email@example.com and let me know how you are dealing the transplant process. I have just finished my evaluation and know the decision to be actively listed is mine.ReplyDelete
The decsion to have a life or to do the "smart" health-conscious thing...ahhh one that I deal with every so often as well. For some reason I almost always choose the social life. Unless of course I am super worn out and struggling. We all have our breaking points! I hope you are feeling better!!! I am just finally catching up on blogs ahh!!ReplyDelete

Date(s) - 29/05/2019
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Elgin Library
Pinto Run
Usual venue of registering outside Cooper park library from 6:15pm with a 7 pm race start
Race £2 entry fee for all
Age 6 to whenever!
This is a 3km run.
Entry is on the night
The dates are set for Pintos series : wed 29/5, wed 26/6 and wed 21/8 at 7pm in Cooper Park.
The race insurance has been covered by the Scottish Athletics league. They have tightened up on their criteria recently for the younger runners. They won't cover a race for age 6 to 11 for a 3km run, unless it is redesigned and classified as a Fun Run. The alternative is a race for age 11 and above.
We are keen however to promote running and exercise to the younger age groups. This is what Pinto's initial ideals were all about and I would like to honour this.
This means we are unable to offer prizes to the winners and the results won't be published on the SAL site but we will still do timings and they can be published for our own clubs.
The £2 entry fee will now ALL go towards Pintos Sport Moray Fund where children who are financially deprived and struggling for other reasons can apply to us for financial support. The race profits in the past have allowed many children to participate in sports such as football training, dance classes, horse riding or swimming lessons. I'm sure you will all agree this is a valuable opportunity for children in Moray.
I would appreciate if you can spread the word re these changes to avoid too much unsettlement at the first race.
I hope we can still maintain the enthusiasm from previous years with the support from runners of all levels.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Sarah McGregor

The scope of social media is reaching further and further as more ways to communicate are introduced. One of the most popular features of late is live video. From Facebook Live to Periscope, live broadcasting is becoming the new normal. And because every user has access to it, anyone can now broadcast his or her own live event in a matter of seconds.
Miami Developer Pleads Guilty to Housing Fraud
Cases of fraud are always unnerving as it usually includes an individual accruing large sums of money at the expense of other individuals. In a recent case of housing fraud, a developer by the name of Lloyd Boggio was charged with multimillion dollar fraud in Miami that impacted low-income families. Rather than face a jury of his peers, Boggio pled guilty in his case.

Bacterial Fungal Skin Infections in Dogs
Skin infections are a common problem for most dogs. If you find that your dog is constantly scratching, licking and biting at himself, he may be afflicted by a fungal or bacterial skin infection. Once diagnosed, the infection is easily remedied.
Some breeds of dog are more susceptible to these infections, though any dog may develop a problem at some time in his life for various reasons.
There can be many different causes of skin infections in your dog, according to the Dog Health Guide. It is important to match the characteristics of each cause with the symptoms in order to understand your dog's condition. Your dog's skin is the habitat for a number of environmental and dermal germs, which can grow and cause skin disorders. The skin is also very sensitive towards environmental and parasitic allergens. There are three tiers of skin disorders in your dog: the surface of the skin, deep in soft tissues, and at the base of the hair. A common cause for skin infections are parasites, unclean open wounds, allergies, E-coli and hot spots. Your dog can get a fungal infection from a parasite, which can become a bacterial infection and lead to a secondary pyoderma.
Signs and Symptoms
Knowing all the signs and symptoms of your dog's skin disorder will help your veterinarian in determining a treatment. If you see any type of wound, skin rash, pimples, possible lumps, tumours or visible parasites, contact your veterinarian, according to doghealthhandbook.com. If any of the sores are inflamed or appear to be filled with puss, it is a good indicator of a bacterial or fungal infection and should be treated quickly.
In order to diagnose the condition, a thorough exam will be performed, according to VetInfo.com. Your veterinarian will get a medical history of your dog and take skin scraping samples of any visible sores for a microscopic exam. Sometimes your veterinarian may require a blood sample. From these samples, it is determined whether the skin condition is bacterial, fungal or a secondary Pyoderma, which is a secondary bacterial condition developed from a fungal infection.
Treatment for pyoderma involves an antibiotic and topical ointment to heal any lesions or sores, according to PetMD.com. The antibiotic treatment is usually prescribed for more than a month to ensure that the infection is eliminated from the dog's system, also reducing a chance for recurrence. It is sometimes recommended to give your dog a soothing medicated bath. For a fungal infection, the affected areas should be trimmed or shaved. Then use a fungicidal shampoo for bathing your dog. Your veterinarian may also prescribe a topical anti-fungal medication. In more serious cases of parasite infestation and the associated fungal infection, a lime sulphur dip may be administered prior to other treatment. A fungal infection should be treated as soon as any symptoms of parasites are visible so the condition does not worsen and develop into a secondary bacterial infection.
There is no guarantee that your dog will ever ward off all skin conditions. Some skin conditions are due to allergies, which would require medical testing in order to pinpoint the exact problem. Most other problems are due to injuries, unclean conditions and parasites. If your dog has developed any type of open wound, speak with your veterinarian regarding any special treatment to keep the injury clean. With proper treatment, the sore should heal without infection or chance for bacteria growth. Sometimes, the only preventive for a serious problem is a very observant pet owner. During the seasons of extreme parasite breeding--usually hot summers--check your dog often for any minor bites and sores so that you can remedy the problem before a condition develops.

Or it isn't if you look at just how much a working mum has to get done each week. I was really hoping to make them again but then time kept running away with me (I'll never understand that expression, it feels like it's running away from me, all the time, fast!)….

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ah-Hoc Committee on the Ward congress has cancelled the result of the December 4 Ward congress held in Benue and Cross Rivers states, while the outcome of the congress in twenty states were upheld by the panel.
...NEC to decide Delta result
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ah-Hoc Committee on the Ward congress has cancelled the result of the December 4 Ward congress held in Benue and Cross Rivers states, while the outcome of the congress in twenty states were upheld by the panel.
The panel was set up last week by the National Executive Committee [NEC] of the party.
Briefing newsmen Friday afternoon on the recommendations of the panel, the Chairman, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, disclosed that the congress results of the two states were cancelled because of glaring irregularities in the conduct of the exercise in the states.
Fresh ward congresses are also to be held in Ankpa local government area of Kogi state, Egbeda local government of Oyo state and Shomolu local government of Lagos state.
The panel, he said, cleared the outcome of the results in Abia, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Edo , Ebonyi, Enugu, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Katsina, Kwara, Niger, Ogun, Rivers and Yobe states after investigating petitions from the states and listening to witnesses that were invited to testify.
Babatope further declared that the panel could not take any specific position on the petitions from Delta state as the root of the the two results submitted from the state were traced to the national secretariat of the party where the party national leadership gave original result collation sheets to both the Delta state chairman of the party and the Chairman of the Election panel.
He said no petition was received from Anambra, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna , Kano , Nasarrawa, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba and Zamfara states, while the panel also recommended that the results of the ward congress in Bayelsa, Imo and Osun states are based "on agreed terms."
He however did not disclose what the agreed terms were.
Chief Babatope acknowledged that the congress has further polarised that party in some states, especially Katsina, and called for the reconciliation of party leaders in the state.
The Ad-Hoc committee chairman explained that the panel could not meet the Thursday deadline given to it by the National Chairman to submit its report as a result of the work overload.
These terms and conditions contain rules about posting comments. By submitting a comment, you are declaring that you agree with these rules:
Failure to comply with these rules may result in being banned from further commenting.

Wireless earbuds are fast replacing traditional headphones and wired setups in the esteem of consumers. And, why not. They're discreet, they're liberated from physical source connection, and digital fidelity technology has them sounding astonishingly engaging.
Sony's new sports-oriented wireless set, the WF-SP700N, boasts an IPX4 rating to ensure the tech isn't harmed by moisture and sweat when users are working out. Additionally, Sony has also included noise cancellation technology, making them the first true wireless water-resistant sports earbuds of their kind.
In addition to offering advanced audio performance with vivid highs and solid bass production, the earbuds also have an ambient sound mode. This means wearers can let in a little bit of outside noise while listening to music, making it an added safety feature for runners, and a solid choice for the conversational vicissitudes of a day at the beach.
Sony's new earbuds come with a case that enables both a 15-minute quick charge for a short workout, or two full charges providing up to three hours of battery life per charge.
Set to ship this spring, Sony's new WF-SP700N wireless earbuds are available in black, white, yellow, rose gold/gray, and are priced at $180.

Pretty self-explanatory if you ask me, although he said it's complicated. Nevertheless it's definitely a theme that everyone may feel different about. It doesn't seem like he believes that he achieved much more than that either, maybe that's the part he means with 'complicated'. The parts about himself sound very frustrated and depressed, so although there is reason for that there still lies the question if that is really the better way. The first and last two lines give it a kind of hopeless touch that sounds to me like "In the end we are all nothing. Our lives are meaningless.". If that's the case asking more from life would be useless as well, but on the other hand it just seems so stupid if all you think about is what to do in the next party. I always have the song 'dancers to a discordant system' by Meshuggah in my mind when I see those lines, the title says it all. It seems wrong in so many ways.
That's the whole thing that's always running through my head while listening to this song. On the one hand blaming the stupidity you see around you everyday, on the other hand you cannot find any deeper meaning in life anyway. You feel like an observer in a world full of meaninglessness and stupidity.

Martha Visser't Hooft (1906-1994), Blue Shards, 1969; oil on canvas, 29 x 60 inches; Gift of Nan and Will Clarkson, 2002
In 1991 the David Anderson Gallery in Buffalo produced a major retrospective on Martha Visser't Hooft. To accompany the exhibition, an important, illustrated catalogue was produced by The Poetry/Rare Books Collection and The State University of New York at Buffalo, with essays by Robert J. Bertholf' and Albert L. Michaels, and commentary by the artist. About her work the artist wrote: "Painting to me is creating a bridge from the invisible to the visible." In Dr. Bertholf's catalog essay, "The Lyric Painting of Martha Visser't Hooft," he wrote:
…The same kind of contrast between the parts of the vision and the whole vision appear in the two paintings entitled Arrival from 1969 and Blue Shards from 1969. Arrival has a reddish orange background and Blue Shards has a bluish green background, but both present curved geometric shapes suspended in a field as if to be emblematic of parts of the imaginative version defined now by spatial dimensions. That the curved pieces remain separate and are not combined into a controlling figure is itself important because the pieces maintain a spatial definition to one another and create in the spread of their designs a contextual vision which is a radical version of reality.

The estimated no. of layoffs at Los Angeles Unified School District stands at 3000 as of now, but it is only estimated.
Which segment of employees will be affected in the LAUSD layoffs ?
Primarily, they will be the non-permanent teaching staff who will be affected by the layoffs. Also, there will be other criteria in determining the layoffs - like The district will first look at 2,290 nonpermanent teachers who have the least seniority and who teach elementary school and secondary school English and math, according to a report prepared for the board. Layoffs may also happen for interns and provisional teachers, who have not passed their final exams in the subjects they teach.
When will the LAUSD layoffs happen?

Sony has just announced the Seagate Game Drive for PS4. The Seagate Game Drive is an external 2TB hard drive that is an officially licensed hard drive for the PS4.
Seagate Game Drive for PS4
The amusing thing is that the particular hard drive doesn't look all that new. In fact, it does look exactly like the Seagate hard drive that we unboxed back in October. The only difference? A Playstation logo on the top right. Really, that's about it. In terms of specs, it supports USB 3.0, weighs 148 g (5.25 ounces) and comes in only black.
It sure does look like the Seagate Game Drive for PS4 is catering to the Playstation enthusiast who needs everything Playstation. Which is ok. But for the rest of us, you'd be just fine getting any similar Seagate external hard drive or other hard drives for that matter.
It's currently available on Amazon so do check it out.

Earlier this month we have told you about the upcoming Bitcoin fork called Bitcoin Gold (BTG), but now just a couple of days before it actually happening there are much more details than at the initial announcement. There are still quite a few things that are not clear yet, but the user interest in this fork is growing and that is no wonder when users holding BTC will be getting the same amount of BTG on October 25 when the fork is expected to happen. Bitcoin Gold (BTG) forks at block 491407 where a snapshot of the Bitcoin blockchain will be made in order to credit Bitcoin holders with their Bitcoin Gold coins (the same amount of BTC they hold will be available in BTG). Bitcoin Gold promises replay protection, meaning that after the fork occurs the two networks will continue to function independently form each other and transactions of coins in one of them will not affect the other one.
One of the most interesting things about the new Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is that after forking from Bitcoin it will adopt a different mining algorithm and the chosen one is Equihash (the one introduced by ZCash), so the new coin will be mineable with video cards and not ASICs. This is what is essentially getting the attention of the many GPU miner out there that do not have any or just a little ASIC mining power. This is essentially eliminating the large ASIC mining farms from able to mine the coin as there are currently no known ASIC miners available for the Equihash algorithm, though it still cannot do anything about any large GPU mining farms and such also exist similar to the big ASIC mining farms. Still smaller GPU miners will be able to get into the mining of Bitcoin Gold (BTG) even with one video card, something they are not able to do with Bitcoin anymore.
There are still thing that are not clear about the fork such as what exchanges will support it and will credit the users holding Bitcoin with BTG after the fork. Some exchanges like HitBTC and Yobit, along with a few mining pools, have expressed their will to support Bitcoin Gold. The biggest and most used Bitcoin exchanges however are still to come out with official statements regarding the fork, so the best thing is to hold your Bitcoins in a local wallet where you have full control over the private key in order to be able to claim BTG coins after the fork. The exchanges are probably waiting to decide based on user interest as well as to see if the fork will be successful and problem free and come out with statements after that or their users may force them to.
The things that are not getting too much attention are mostly centered around the final specifications of the coin that are not very clear. For example the initial announcement mentioned tat the Bitcoin Gold (BTG) fork will have 16000 blocks premined with 12.5 BTG reward for each (200000 BTC coins) that will be sold to ICO investors, though the official project website does not talk about that at all. The fact that the BTG is capped at 21 Million coins just like Bitcoin and adopts 10 minute lock time, just like the original BTC, 12.5 BTG current coin reward?, halving every 4 years maybe? and so on… Since there have been already 16.6 Million BTC mined with a total of 21 that leaves less than 4.5 Million coins left to be mined over a very long period of time. All of these kinda leave a big question mark about the mining part of BTG and as we've explained there are still important things that are not very clear just a few days before the fork happening.
– Visit the official website of the Bitcoin Gold (BTG) project here for more details…

What is Total Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement surgery removes damaged or diseased parts of a hip joint and replaces it with new, man-made parts. The goals of this surgery are to:
- Relieve pain
- Help the hip joint work better
- Improve walking and other movements.
About Hip Joint Replacement Surgery
Our hip joint is called a ball and socket joint because of its structure. It is formed by the head of the Femur (thigh bone) and the acetabulum of the pelvis (the hip bone). The dome-shaped head of the femur forms the ball which fits into the socket of the acetabulum. The hip joint is a very strong joint, due to the tight fitting of the bones and the strong surrounding ligaments and muscles. Some conditions may cause severe pain in hip joint and may affect the mobility.
Some of the most common causes for a hip pain are arthritis, Trochanteric Bursitis, Tendonitis, Osteonecrosis, Lumbar Pain, Snapping Hip Syndrome, Muscle Strains, Hip Fracture and Stress Fracture. The most common cause for a Hip Replacement surgery is the arthritis.
The diagnosis of a hip pain starts with medical history taking by your doctor. Here the doctor tries understanding the cause for pain as well as reviewing any other underlying complaints. Observation of the hip at rest and while standing or walking, palpation (or feeling) of the hip and surrounding structures, testing for range of motion and strength, and checking for sensation and pulses all may be done. Few blood tests may also be ordered.
The most common imaging technique used in the diagnosis of a hip pain is X-ray. Other imaging like CT scan or a MRI scan may also be used.
Type of Total Hip Replacement (THR)
Conventional total hip replacement is a prosthesis that is anchored in the upper part of femur (thighbone).
In a short stem hip replacement, the prosthesis on the femoral side is very small in comparison. It is anchored only in the spongy bone. It is uncemented. This is a bone preserving hip replacement.
Anchorage method can be either cemented or uncemented. Prostheses that are anchored with bone cement are cemented hip replacements. Those prostheses, which rely on natural bony ingrowth for anchorage, are uncemented hip replacement. Natural bone in growth is encouraged by various coatings to the stem.
