Professor Jadad is the Rose Family Chair in Supportive Care, and Canada Research Chair in eHealth Innovation in the Departments of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, Public Health Sciences, and Anesthesia Staff Physician at Princess Margaret Hospital. Still, he has taken the time to reflect on how to keep one's perspective on life, through such activities as building on your social networks, and looking at 'games as an enactment of life.' For one who views the unfolding course of policy and practice as the outcome of an ecology of games, this is of course a view that I find more than a useful metaphor.I recommend it.

About the Book
Dead Toad Scrolls
" is a series of meditative personal essays written by a trial attorney who undergoes a midlife crisis. The author is the husband of a wife who suffers from the aftermath of surviving Stage III breast cancer and the father of an intelligent teenage son. Dissatisfied with the practice of law – all the conflict and greed – that mars his pursuit of happiness and the attainment of self-realization, the author conducts an exhaustive review of his formative personal experience. Commencing with childhood remembrances, he studies what factors contributed to his evolving sense of self-identity including formal and informal education, sports, work life, and recreational activities in an effort to understand why after achieving the supposed American Dream of financial security he is seriously contemplating ending his banal life devoted to combating the tedium of existence. Using analytical writing as an investigatory tool, the author attempts to orchestrate a transformative learning experience that will allow him to alter his personality and lifestyle and achieve an enviable state of mindfulness. The written inquisition forces the author to accept responsibility for a malevolent ego that is wrecking his life and seek atonement from the people whom he hurt by acting in a selfish and egotistical manner.
Select themes explored in the book include an exhaustive review of significant cultural events that occurred over the last half-century, the doctrines of identity, free will, consciousness, personality formation, media, technology, celebrity culture, and the benefits of reading, writing, and establishing a personal philosophy to buttress a person's frequently lonely and painful march through time. The author encourages other people to write their own memoirs or personal essays as a method to gain heighten self-awareness. Telling our personal stories also allows us to pay tribute to all the generous people in our lives – parents, teachers, coaches, friends, spouses, children, and siblings – whom contributed to our evocative journey exploring the inherent mysteries that shape our humanity. Overcoming personal shame, remorse, and regret, the author leaves behind his sorrowful past and he aspires to live out the remainder of his life in a courageous and graceful manner that wants for nothing. After exploring the baffle of being and examining the underlying factors that configure the context of the cohesive human condition, the author seeks a simple life that rejoices in the beguiling splendor of the natural world that we must preserve for our children.

Now, how about that Mebrahtom "Meb" Keflezighi, the American marathon runner who keeps on winning even at the age of 38 (nearly 39)? Monday – President's Day in the U.S. – Meb took the lead at 15k, created a sizeable gap ahead of more favoured East Africans and just didn't let go (he had the 15th fastest time of all the elites).
He almost did let go of the lead, but he didn't and no matter how you measure the win, whether you cut his marathon into single or five or 10 kilometre splits, or mile or first half versus second half splits, the only one that mattered on the day was the final split. He won and finished in a fair time too: 2:08:37, earning himself a brand new and very shiny personal best time. Poignantly, he received a phone call from President Barack Obama to congratulate him, probably for spiritually taking back the race from terrorists.
The last time an American man won the Boston marathon was in 1983, by Greg Meyer. Thirty-one years has passed since. This American win is even more meaningful because during the 2013 edition it was marred by terrorist bombings that killed three and injured 260 more. It was a long one-year wait, but the media around America has repeated the refrain that "Meb took the Boston Marathon back, from terrorists."
In 2009, Keflezighi was the first American to win the New York City Marathon since 1982, when Alberto Salazar won in 2:09:29, it was the ninth-fastest finish in New York or eighth, if we exclude Salazar's short course win (by 150m) in 1981. Keflezighi earned an Olympic silver medal during the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. He finished the race in the time of 2:11:29.
Keflezighi wrote the names: Sean Collier, Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, Lingzi Lu on his race bib — the latter three were killed by the bombs last year — Collier was a police officer who was gunned down during the subsequent manhunt.
"I wanted to win it for Boston and win it for the people," Keflezighi said after the finish. "The last three to four miles, (the crowd) pushed me through it. I'm so lucky to be the champion."
Meanwhile, American Shalane Flanagan, who grew up in Boston tried to win the women's race the same way, in fact she led from the start. Although she did not prevail as Boston champion, she did run a new personal best time of 2:22:03. Flanagan owns the American record for the 10,000 metres with her 30:22:22 Beijing Olympic Games performance, earning her a bronze medal. Flanagan set the national record for the 15k, on March 15th 2014 by finishing in 47:03. She said while fighting back tears, "I really wanted to win for the people of Boston. I didn't, but I am really happy for Jeptoo who did win, as she ran so well."
The 2014 Boston Marathon was an emotional race for both Keflizighi and Flanagan for slightly different, but equally important reasons. They both ran heroic races and returned the B.A.A. Boston Marathon to the American running community, where it belongs.
Note: Defending and now two-time champion Kenyan, Rita Jeptoo ran a new personal best time of 2:18:57, which is also a B.A.A. Boston course record. Flanagan finished seventh.

The ARGUS Brazil gasoline and diesel dap price assessments
A significant volume of imported gasoline and diesel is delivered to Brazil's largest ports every day, shipped mainly from the US Gulf coast and the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp hub in Europe. Product is blended with biofuels following oil regulator's ANP requirements, and then transported by distributors to supply large cities and consumption hubs across the country.
Advantages of the ARGUS Brazil gasoline and diesel dap price assessments
Increased spot market involvement by third parties other than state-controlled Petrobras and rising gasoline and diesel import activity in response to expected arbitrage opportunities have created the need for market intelligence. Argus price assessments for diesel and gasoline imported to Brazil on a dap basis are the only price reference based purely on reported transactions.
Users of the ARGUS Brazil gasoline and diesel dap price assessments
The Argus Brazil gasoline and diesel dap price assessments are the main reference for importers and trading companies looking to supply the Brazilian market. As with all Argus prices, transactions by refineries, distributors and trading firms form the core of the assessment process, bringing transparency to a formerly opaque market that has undergone significant change over the past few years.

With less than four weeks to go before Election Day, Hillary Clinton seems to be thinking she can disappear and voters won't notice.
After Hillary has gone into hiding for five days to prep for the final presidential debate on Wednesday, she has no public events scheduled, according to two calendar-tracking websites.
NBC News reported on Monday:
Hillary Clinton hunkered down for an intensive weekend of prep ahead of Wednesday's third and final presidential debate in Las Vegas.
The Democratic nominee has made no appearances since Friday and has nothing on her calendar until the final debate.
After arriving home from a fundraising trip to the West Coast around 1 a.m. ET Saturday, Clinton did a five-hour afternoon session at the Doral Arrowwood in Rye Brook, New York, a Westchester resort near her home.
On Sunday, she did two more sessions, including a late-night practice round after a dinner break. She is also expected to devote Monday and Tuesday to prep, before a likely final session in Vegas on Wednesday before the final matchup.
According to HillarySpeeches.com and WillHillaryWin.com, Clinton has no public events currently scheduled after the debate.
At the time of this publication (8:50 a.m. ET), Bill Clinton has one event scheduled on Tuesday in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania.
Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, has appearances scheduled for Detroit, Michigan; Upper Arlington, Ohio; Springfield, Ohio; Asheville, North Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina; Durham, North Carolina; and State College, Pennsylvania.
Chelsea Clinton will appear in Tempe, Arizona on Wednesday.
Coming off the heels of two private fundraisers in California on Thursday, Clinton doesn't have any public events scheduled between today and the final presidential debate on October 19.
That's five days.
Neither leading Clinton schedule tracking website — HillarySpeeches.com and WillHillaryWin.com — list a single event for her, as of Friday morning.
Meanwhile, chief surrogate Bill Clinton will be making two appearances in Ohio today. One in Delaware, and the other in Cincinnati, according to HillarySpeeches.com.
Chelsea Clinton is holding two events in Pittsburgh today, including one on the Pitt campus. She'll speak at a New York City fundraiser on Monday.
President Obama will be in Cleveland for a lunchtime rally on Friday.
Vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine will appear in Miami on Saturday, Palm Beach County on Sunday, and speak at a Bethesda, Maryland fundraiser on Monday, according to HillarySpeeches.com.
But for now, the main candidate appears to be waiting it out for Election Day.

I really like several of the Amish recipes that I have previously tried. I find that they do not add as much sugar, and the sweetness level is just fine for me. I do not like Horseradish does anyone know if I eliminate the Horseradish in this recipe, how much will it alter the flavor? In addition, should I eliminate the Splenda if I remove the Horseradish?
Test Kitchen Team
Jun 23, 2016
Hello! It will change the flavor if you eliminate the horseradish, as it will take away the "kick" or heat. But, it will still taste good! If you like a sweet-tasting coleslaw, then you can leave the sugar in, whether or not you add the horseradish. Enjoy!

Conflict - The Police & The People
Author : Professor (Dr) Sanjeev P Sahni and Garima Jain
EDITION : 1st
MONTH OF PUBLICATION : Nov 2019
This book is a novel attempt to present the real scenario of the existing conflict between Public and Police in India. It deviates from the traditional approach of proposing Police reforms based on mere observation. Besides survey of 1813 police personnel and 1010 civilians, the study also includes the narratives of police and public regarding the causes of conflict and resolution strategies. Through an intimate scrutiny of the perception of each other, police and public, the volume churns out the need-gaps in the vital and cardinal areas. The study investigates the following objectives: (a) to understand and analyze causes of conflict between the public and the police, (b) recognize ways in which conflict situations are handled at the police station, (c) determine gaps between existing methods versus an ideal way of police resolution of conflict situations (d) develop recommendations for working together as a system.
Dr. Sahni and Ms. Jain provide a comprehensive and exhaustive review of conflict prevailing between Indian Law enforcement i.e. Police and People of India. In this context, this book attempts to unveil following questions: Do people feel safe in going to the police stations and register a crime? Do people perceive Police as a sign of relief or trouble? Is there any stigma associated with the presence of police? What are the challenges faced by the police while dealing with the public? What are the causes of conflict between Public and Police? What are the best form of Conflict resolution strategies to resolve the conflict between public and police?
Most significant part of this book intends to propose recommendation about mediation, facilitation, police reforms, community engagement in the field of conflict resolution. It informs the practitioners, public officials, policymakers about the best practices on conflict resolution strategies between public and police. With an evidence- based approach, the volume outlines comprehensive recommendations in combating conflict between public and police. This work is intended for social theorists, for policymakers and planners, for students, academicians, administrators and public officials.

4 Steps to Knowing God's Will for Your Life.
Warning, this post is NOT for Spiritual Wimps! Oooppps…Did I just SAY that?
I may be learning from Paul. I have spent the week in the book of Galatians. This morning I made a list of all the ways Paul desribed himself in this chapter. Wow, what a lesson for a woman like me whose first response is to take hold of lesser self evaluations!
I have determined to practice seeing and speaking of myself, not in a lofty, egotistical way, but the way GOD SEES ME. That is sometimes difficult. However, one lesson I have completely learned is NOTHING WORTH HAVING IS EASY!
Everything that matters takes commitment and work. Marriage. Ministry. Parenting. Leadership. It's all work.
If we want to LIVE FREE, we have to follow the directions in God's Word. We have to do the work. We have to follow through.
The good news is that God is on our side. He wants us to be where He is. Fulfill the calling that He has set us apart to fulfill. He wants us to succeed. he wants us to reflect HIS GLORY. He wants us to draw others to Kingdom Blessing. (Eph 5:17)
It is really not difficult to know and hear from God. He is always talking. He is always leading. He is always Restoring. He is NOT surprised when we mess up. He is not surprised when we take a wrong turns. He is not surprised when we face difficulty or challenges.
I said a few days ago that I know EXACTLY what God has called me to do and I know I am doing it. That sounds a bit lofty in itself doesn't it? It's really not lofty, it is PEACE. I have a peace in my heart that right now, in this season, that I am where God wants me to be.
I didn't say where I sometimes think I should be, I said where God has me, doing what God has placed in my life.
I don't do it flawlessly. I am FREE to Fail because I have a faithful Savior.
We mess up. We misbehave. We compare ourselves to others. We feel sorry for ourselves. We sometimes want to quit. We fail.
BUT GOD NEVER MESSES UP and Psalms 139 assures us that He knows where we are and what we need!!
He is able to complete what He started in me.Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. He is able to do more than I can ask or imagine.
I have just celebrated my 27th Spiritual Birthday last week. When I became a Christian, my life was a literal shambles. Very early on I read a little book by Dr James Dobson about how to know God's Will for your life. I read it. I believed it and I have done what it said to 27 years. Maybe they will help you.
Here are the 4 most SIMPLE TO READ—DIFFICULT TO DO—RULES that you will ever embrace.
1) The First Step to knowing God's Will for your life is to move from Orphan to Child of God through a Salvation and Spirit Filling experience.

Deconstructing the Paradox of Thrift
President-elect Barack Obama Should End the Keynesian War on Saving
It's "recessiontime" in America. The sweet scent of bailout is in the air, the auto companies are performing their courtship rituals in Congress and the bears are frolicking in the marketplace. This is the time of year when a young economist's fancy turns to thoughts of financial stimulus … BIG financial stimulus.
The lame duck Congress recently rejected a $100 billion stimulus bill, but the new Congress waiting in the wings and its Democratic leadership will be much less squeamish. Some Democratic advisors are recommending spending increases as large as $400 billion dollars.
The love-fest on January 6th will be epic as eager-to-spend politicians seemingly find themselves with a mandate to spend like there's no tomorrow. While there's still time left, let's recheck the assumptions behind counter-cyclical government macro-intervention.
In the 1930's, John Maynard Keynes (pronounced "Canes") put forth a simple bit of logic that came to be called the Paradox of Thrift. It goes something like this: If everyone decides to save more money, consumer spending will fall; if consumer spending falls, then total demand will fall; if total demand falls, then total income will fall; and if total income falls, then people have less income to save.
The end result is that as consumers save a higher fraction of their income, the economy as a whole will have less saving. Using this neat counter-intuition, Keynes justified a counter-recessionary strategy of taxing people who save a lot (the rich) to fuel government spending that would boost aggregate demand.
Over the past couple decades, Washington has followed Keynes' logic to its extreme. If saving is counter-productive, then why not cut saving to zero? Or better yet, why not save negative amounts and really boost the economy!
Over the Clinton years, the personal savings rate fell from 8 percent to 2 percent. Bush completed the descent, and the personal savings rate was actually negative in 2005. Today, there's something of a panic as experts predict that the personal savings rate will claw its way back to 4.5 percent by the end of 2009.
Meanwhile this year the Chinese national savings rate (the combination of private and public saving) topped 50 percent. Judging from the growth rates of the two countries, the reports of death due to saving have been greatly exaggerated.
So what's wrong with the Paradox of Thrift?
Let's simplify the economy down to the production of two outputs: Current Goods (C) and Future Goods (F). All income is either consumed (used to purchase C) or saved (used to purchase F). Consumed income buys food, electronics, clothing, and other end-use products. Saved income is invested in new factories, machines, education, and other means of producing future goods.
With this simplification, the fault in the Paradox of Thrift becomes obvious; income that is saved doesn't just disappear down a hole — it simply purchases a different type of good than consumption. Workers in consumer electronics might lose their jobs, but the loss to national income is offset by new hires of welders, construction workers, and teachers. Aggregate demand doesn't fall — it merely changes in composition. In the long run, the paradox unravels.
In the short run however, the paradox still holds some water. This is because of time dynamics present in the economy; the current goods industry can shed workers in a matter of weeks — the only barrier is the contractual obligation to provide advance notice to the downsized.
The expansion of the future goods industry however can take months or years — laws and regulations need to be navigated, new projects need to be planned, businesses need to be started, and workers might even need to be retrained. In the meantime, the paradox rages on; every worker shed from the current goods industry is a worker idle (read unemployed).
Also, there are barriers to the proper transmission of price signals necessary to shift production from C to F. One price signal is wages; low wages incentivize employers to hire more, but minimum wage laws and downward wage stickiness often keep wages artificially high (this effect was especially pernicious during the Depression when unions were stronger and Hoover's policy advisors confused the causal relationship between a strong economy and high wages).
Another obstructed signal is the interest rate, which determines the relative prices of C and F. A negative real interest rate would strongly incentivize the production of F over C, but the existence of non-productive stores of value (like gold and diamonds), prevent nominal interest rates from falling below 0 percent, and the high inflation necessary to make real interest rates negative is disruptive for its own reasons. Trying to increase investment in a recession with interest rate cuts alone is often likened to "pushing on a string." The Fed can make funds available, but it can't force them to be invested in new projects.
Because of the short-run validity to the Paradox of Thrift, it is necessary to carefully manage a rise in saving; too fast a rise and the future goods industry can't keep up — the labor force would go under-utilized. Financial stimulus is necessary.
However, there is a big difference between smoothing out a rise in saving and trying to smother it entirely. Indeed, there is no question that American saving will have to increase; the only serious argument, which has been carried back and forth between the op-ed pages of the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times for years now, is whether there will be a "hard" landing or a "soft" landing, that is to say, whether consumption will fall precipitously and destructively, or slowly and safely. The long existing trade imbalance between the United States and the world ensures that at some point, Americans will have to produce more than they consume in order to pay off their international creditors. Ultimately, they must save.
Mr. Obama must not confuse his mission; the recession is not a call to kill saving, but merely to curb its excesses. And when good times return, his mission will not be to pressure down saving as Clinton did, but to oversee its gradual rise. This will be difficult for him to do with his current promises to tax the rich and their capital gains — it will be even more difficult however if he uses the political opportunity provided by the recession to launch a new New Deal and commit large fractions of future generations income to consumption.
During the campaign, Mr. Obama blamed the current recession on ideology, claiming that Republican's blind allegiance to right-wing economics doomed the country to a subprime crisis. If Obama truly believes in a pragmatic "Ideology of No Ideology," he must be willing to challenge the orthodoxy of the Left as well as that of the Right. The Keynesian Paradox of Thrift shouldn't be ignored, but its lesson must be taken with the grain of salt that it richly deserves.

No one likes to lose things, but most do. Enter the TileMate. The company sent us one of the small tracking gadgets to test out and it didn't disappoint.
The TileMate has a compact design and can find your keys, phone or anything else you attach it to. The device measures 1.3 x 1.3 x 0.2 inches and features a hole in the corner, making it ideal for a key ring. Simply download the companion app and sync the device to your phone in order to get started. Then, attach the TileMate to whatever you lose most and leave your worries behind.
This device can find anything that is within 100 feet of your phone. Simply click the "find tile" button in your app and the listen for the little blue-tooth activated song it plays. If you can't hear the song, just check the app for the Tile's last location.
So what happens if you lose your phone? It's a two-way tracking device, so simply press the button on your TileMate and it will make your phone ring, even if it's on silent. And if you aren't within 100 feet of the item you've lost, don't fret. If other Tile users are near your lost item, the TileMate on the item will still chime and update its location on a map within the companion app. Therefore, the more people with a TileMate means the easier it will be to find an item.
The sound the TileMate makes isn't as loud as I was hoping, so if something is really lost you'll have to listen very closely to hear it. I found that it was even softer inside a pocketbook or leather wallet, so keep that in mind. Customizing the sound is an option, so be sure to make the sound something you think you'd recognize easily.
And according to the company, people use the device to find more than 2 million items every day in over 200 countries.
One downside is that the battery can't be replaced, so you'd have to buy a whole new unit when it dies. Plus, it doesn't feature any geofencing capabilities.
So whether you want to attach this to your wallet, purse, keys or cat, I think it would do the trick. This device is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. Click here to order one of your own.

What an appalling condescending arrogant heartless party the Conservative party really is.
A few weeks ago the Labour Shadow Attorney General, Emily Thornberry tweeted a picture of a house which was bedecked in three large tatty, dirty England flags which were covering the windows. The house had a white van on the drive, and apparently the flags had been up there for five months! She did not pass judgement, she just tweeted a picture, this was immediately jumped on by the main stream media (MSM) and all sorts of things were attributed to her which were completely untrue. She resigned quickly, personally, although I like Ed Miliband, I think he was far too hasty, although this did come on the back of a month of personal abuse and attacks on Miliband and the Labour party he probably thought a quick decision was in best interests of Ms Thornberry and Labour and to be fair, the right wing Tory supporting press would not have let it drop, they would have continued with their character assassination of a genuinely good constituency MP (who actually grew up in a council house) and a good shadow cabinet minister until they had pushed her out, simply because she belonged to the Labour party. It is just part of the abuse and dirty tricks campaign being levelled at the Labour party and anyone supporting them.
With Emily Thornberry in mind and the Tory press behaviour, why the are they so quiet over the disgraceful comments of many in the Conservative party?
- Conservative Peer, Lord Young resigned after inferring that the people 'had never had it so good' during the last recession. He described the loss of a 100,000 public sector jobs as "within the margin of error" .
- A former Tory MP Howard Flight said that benefit changes would "encourage the poor to breed" just days after being awarded a peerage by his good friend prime minister, David Cameron!
- In 2010 David Shakespeare, the most senior Conservative councillor in the country said that the unemployed should travel south and work as fruit pickers and replace European migrants!
In recent days we have had another deluge of insults from the Conservative party
- Former Tory Culture secretary David Mellor, was caught on tape swearing at a London cab driver, calling him a "sweaty stupid little shit". Mellor has form, he has called a victim of child sex abuse "a weirdo". A chef "a fat bastard" and the police are investigating for a foul mouth racist rant to a Polish security guard.
- Andrew Mitchell when he was Tory whip swore at police officers in Downing Street, calling them "f*****g plebs" in earshot of the public. The police officers 'crime'? They would not open the main gates for him to ride his bicycle out of and had simply asked him to use the side gate.
- Conservative Lord Freud was caught on tape saying that "disabled people were not worth being paid the minimum wage".
- Conservative MP Sarah Wollosten and Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan insulted #CameronMustGo tweeters on Twitter when they inferred that tweeters were ignorant and knew nothing about economics.
- Last week Tory MP Mark Garnier was caught on tape urging George Osborne that there was no need for his party to worry about attracting 'dog-end voters' who live in the "out-lying regions of Britain" they should be ignored as they earn less than £150,000 per year!
- Yesterday (8th December 2014) Conservative Peer Baroness Jenkin was forced to apologise for saying that "the poor were going hungry because they can't cook!" (Never mind they have no money for gas or electric to cook their food under her government!)
- Now this is morning (9th december 2014) yet another senior Tory politician, Chris Steward Conservative councillor said "there was no need for food banks as they are an insult to starving people around the world, and that donating to them allowed recipients to spend more money on cigarettes and alcohol"!
How much more of this crap do we have to take from these people who are so far removed from real life? They just don't get it, they don't understand what their policies are doing to good decent folk and what is more they just don't bloody care, they think the Tory right wing press has their backs and they will nit be forced out like Emily Thornberry , and they are probably right! the Tory press are very quiet when it comes to hounding Tories out who behave in this crass insulting way.
It's plainly obvious what the elitist Conservative party think of us ordinary folk, let's show them what we think about them on election day May 7th 2015.

Baltimore is a beautiful, twisted, powerful, and intense city to spend time in. It has a dark history, full of hatred and heartbreak; heartbreak which is seen in the abandoned and boarded up buildings with trees growing out of the caved in roofs, the people walking up and down the street at every traffic light asking for anything you can spare, the balloons and stuffed animals on street corners signaling that something bad has happened there, trash on the streets and the sidewalks. And, yes, we have rats. But, amid all this heartbreak, there is so much beauty in this city, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to experience it this summer.

Riding a unicycle is one thing. Riding a unicycle down a mountain is quite another.
The activity that has, for a long time, rarely been seen outside of the multicoloured canvas walls of the circus has found a new and loyal following in the form of adrenaline junkies and extreme sport enthusiasts.

And a new video from Bear Grylls' Adventure channel shows a group of unicyclists taking on a route than even experienced mountain bikers would think twice about.
'While mountain unicycling takes place on similar terrain to mountain biking, having only one wheel means the rider has to control their descent much more carefully,' says the narrator.
The clip, taken in Moab, Utah, follows the cyclists as they test their skills on the challenging rocky terrain.

The Joyce Mekeel Collection of Musical Scores and Recordings, 1961-1996, which came to the Library by the composer in 1997, contains manuscript scores, compositional materials and incomplete works, correspondence, reviews, theory notebooks, biographical ephemera, and audio materials. From this collection we've chosen two pieces to highlight: one for its interesting instructional layout, another for its glowing reviews.
Mekeel's 1973-74 site-specific work Moveable Feast describes how the three groups in the piece, Jazz Group, Old C, and Feast, are to play music and move their bodies. The collection contains a 1992 letter to an editor at Oxford University Press as a response to numerous questions, a cue sheet from a November 1973 performance at "Mass College" and a March 7, 1974 performance at New England Conservatory, of which NEC holds a recording.
The following year Mekeel completed a commission by Harvard's Fromm Music Foundation of Serena, a piece for mezzo-soprano, speaker, and chamber ensemble. It premiered at Tanglewood during the annual Festival of Contemporary Music, which still continues to this day.
The work was positively reviewed by Donal Henahan, a candid opinion writer for the New York Times. He snarkily writes, "It doesn't often happen that the newest piece on a concert program is also the best, but that is how it was last night at Tanglewood…"
He must have been truly impressed given he also states, "Otherwise, the concert offered the usual assortment of contemporary commonplaces and experimental failures, with an elderly additive to leaven the lump." Extra kudos to Mekeel, given that Henahan also wrote a provocative piece for the New York Times titled "Let's Hear It For Composer Persons," where the first sentence reads, "Everyone knows women can't compose."
In the same article he writes of Serena, "…Mekeel was powerful and simple in effect though intricately designed."
A later review of a 1977 performance held at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City was just as positive, stating "the most arresting item of the evening was Joyce Mekeel's "Serena," the sung and spoken duo." The concert was titled "Hear America First," and was a premiere for several new works by several composers.
In the spring of 2019, the Loeb Music Library held an exhibit, Toward the Source: Joyce Mekeel, curated by the Keeper of the Isham Memorial Library, Christina Linklater. We also have another Mekeel collection, The Joyce Mekeel Collection of Musical Scores in Graphic Notation, 1952-1969. The Mekeel Collections will be available for research by request in the Isham Memorial Library, which is located on the second floor of the Loeb Music Library, when the Library opens again post-pandemic.

Musculoskeletal conditions and work – part 2
October 22, 2020 by Lisa Bywaters
And things you can do to manage
This blog was so full of info and strategies we had to split it into 2 parts. You can access part 1 here.
But here's a recap: We know finding and keeping a job when you have a musculoskeletal condition like back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and gout can be really tough.
Pain, fatigue, medication side effects and the unpredictability of your condition can all affect your ability to work.
The extent to which this happens will depend on things such as the condition you have, how severe it is, how well it's being managed, and the type of work you do. Physically demanding work will be impacted by painful joints or restricted movements. And any work that requires you to focus and concentrate, especially for extended periods, will be affected by brain fog, pain, and lack of sleep.
The good news is there are things you can do to help manage these issues. We've listed a bunch of strategies here. This is part 2 of our 2 part blog.
Note: we understand that some of these strategies may not be possible for all workplaces or conditions. However the majority of them can be adapted in some way to suit your needs.
Manage your meds. Sometimes medications cause side effects like nausea, headaches, lightheadedness, and drowsiness. This can make it really hard to concentrate at work, and may in fact make it dangerous to perform some work duties such as driving or operating machinery. If you find that your medications are causing issues for you, talk with your doctor about possible alternatives you can use.
You may also need to have a review of your medications if you find your condition's not under control or you need more help managing pain and other symptoms. Again, talk with your doctor about this.
Get a good night's sleep. We all go through periods when sleep is elusive. Chronic pain and anxiety are just a couple of things that can affect our ability to get enough quality sleep. But sleep is important for good physical and mental health, and to give us the 'get up and go' we need to get to work and work productively. If you're having issues sleeping, don't just put up with it. There are lots of things you can do to get the sleep you need.
Take a break. Get up, move and clear your head. We all need to take breaks for our physical and mental wellbeing. So walk to the photocopier or around the block, do some simple stretches, step outside and do some deep breathing or visualisation. Whatever helps you manage your pain, fatigue, and brain fog, do it.
Dealing with time off work. We all need time off from time to time, but for many people with musculoskeletal conditions, it may happen more often than we'd like. Attending healthcare appointments during working hours or having a flare means you may go through your personal leave quite quickly. If this is a concern or problem for you, discuss your options with your healthcare team. Are you able to attend appointments via telehealth or outside of your usual working hours? An occupational therapist or physiotherapist may have some solutions for working during a flare and to reduce the pain and strain on your joints. And if you've disclosed your condition to your employer, discuss your concerns with them. Together you should be able to develop a plan to help you balance time off and the work duties you need to complete. One of the silver-linings of the COVID pandemic is that we've discovered that many jobs can be done productively from home. So working from home may be an option. As too are aids and equipment that protect your joints and save energy, or even changing the work you do at your workplace. Being proactive and knowing your rights is key to working well with a musculoskeletal condition.
Managing changes to your abilities and functioning. Unfortunately some musculoskeletal conditions will change a person's ability to do specific tasks. For example, someone with back pain may find sitting for long periods impossible. Or a person with arthritis in their hands may find repetitive work such as typing extremely painful. Talking with an occupational therapist or physiotherapist can help you find potential solutions to these issues. Whether it's finding new ways to do work tasks, using special equipment and aids to support you and protect your joints, or managing your pain while at work, they'll tailor a solution to your specific needs.
These are just some of the things you can do to manage your condition and continue to work. Feel free to share the things you do to help you manage at work with a musculoskeletal condition. We'd love to hear from you!
Call our Help Line
If you have questions about things like managing your pain, COVID-19, your musculoskeletal condition, treatment options, telehealth, or accessing services be sure to call our nurses. They're available weekdays between 9am-5pm on 1800 263 265; email (email@example.com) or via Messenger.

From the book and video Pocket Power.
Actually a great utility
move. Here it's used to produce a can of Coke from your shoe, but you
can produce anything else you want from the shoe - like a cell phone!
This is a little quickie for those moments when nothing interesting is happening. Like when the spectator is busy signing a card. The method was inspired by a German magician, the late Thomas Hierling, who stole a bottle from the hip pocket while reproducing a small bottle behind his knee. He used a silk handkerchief to cover the bottle. Hierling was inspired by Paul Harris routine King Solomon's Drinks King Solomon's Drinks. Later I saw Mac King do a similar thing with a rock from his shoe.
You take off your shoe and dump out a
flattened Coca Cola can.
You need two cans of Coke
The small ones that you get on European airplanes (0.15 liters) are perfect, but the standard size works just fine. Empty one of them and flatten it by stepping on it - use a hammer if necessary to make it really flat. Your pants must have at least one back pocket. Wear clean socks.
Put the flat can in your right shoe, and the
full one in the right hip pocket. Sewing the pocket as in fig.1 will keep the can
vertical. Most cans have a round edge on the bottom and a sharper edge on the top. Put the
can upside- down in the pocket, and it will slide out more easily.
fig. 2
fig. 3
Stealing the Coke
Bend down and take off your shoe with left hand. As you bend down, you will find that your right hand automatically slides over your back pocket. Push the can out of the pocket with your right hand. The hand presses the can from underneath, through the fabric of the pocket, and the can just slides up and into your hand (fig.2). Now, raise your body, lift up the shoe and shake it. Keep the right hand close to your body, and the can will not be seen. All attention should be on the shoe.
Loading the Coke into the shoe
Dump out the contents of the shoe on the table, bend just a little forward to see what it is as you lower the shoe down to your right hand (fig.3). Turn the right hand palm out the moment the shoe covers it, and put the shoe over the can.
Hold the shoe with right hand and use left hand to pick up the flat can. The shoe just hangs over the can, and the can rests on your fingers. Look at the flat can and toss it down. Take the shoe in left hand again and look into it. Press the sides of the shoe to prevent the Coke from dropping out. Dump the full can into your right hand, and put the shoe back on your foot. Open the can and pour the liquid into a glass. Otherwise they wont believe its a real Coke!
You can use this utility move to produce almost anything from the shoe. Even tomatoes - you can throw them at hecklers to prove theyre real...

Despite being on its third coach in six years, the Texas A&M men's basketball team is in the midst of an unprecedented run of success. The Aggies have made six straight NCAA Tournament appearances, as many as they had in the previous 55 years, and they open this year's AP preseason poll at No. 19.
Texas A&M is one of four ranked Big 12 teams, with Baylor at No. 12, Kansas at No. 13 and Missouri at No. 25. Only the Big East, with six, has more.
There's no way to know how first-year coach Billy Kennedy's heart-breaking Parkinson's diagnosis will affect the team, but the Aggies have a lot of talent coming back.
Khris Middleton, their star 6'7 210 junior small forward, would have been a first-round pick last year, and he's joined by a solid core of role players -- seniors David Loubeau, Dash Harris, junior Naji Hibbert and sophomore Kourtney Robinson -- with NCAA Tournament experience.
In contrast, the two Big 12 schools ranked ahead of Texas A&M, Baylor and Kansas, will be relying a lot more heavily on freshmen and untested players.

The weatherman is promising sunshine today. I swear I feel water logged. We've had so much rain and snow the cover to my pool collapsed and is now sitting in the bottom of my pool. I can't pull it out so the DH will have to work on that this weekend. I suppose now's the best time to open the pool! LOL I know the weather isn't warm enough for swimming but I can hope.
I love Thursday's. The DH goes into the office and my daughter and her children usually get out of the house for the day. That means a quiet day for Amber. Work is normally slow – an added bonus.
I need some quiet to get writing done. I have one book out for submission and nothing waiting in the wings. I'd like to have something to sub soon.
Today I'm blogging about comfort zones over at Romance Books R Us
Drop in and leave a comment.
Happy Thursday!
Thursday, April 14, 2011

Let's hope to see some sun today. Enjoy your peace and quiet. I hope that you get a lot of writing done.ReplyDelete
Here's to a productive day, Amber! You deserve one. Or several, whatever. ;)ReplyDelete
Have fun with your Thursday sunshine!! My weatherman predicted bad storms this evening and possible tornadoes. Ugh, it can't be tornado season already. I guess that's what I get for living in KS!ReplyDelete
It's beautiful here too, which means a gorgeous Friday is on its way to you:) Unfortunately, I caught the flu, so I'm staying inside today. Rain coming in tomorrow for us, ugh.ReplyDelete
Happy Thursday, Amber, hope your weather stays clear for a while. Oh, and happy writing too!ReplyDelete

The kind of table determines duplicate row control. See Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Data Definition Language Detailed Topics , B035-1184 for details. The table can be created as a global temporary table or a volatile table. If you do not specify global temporary or volatile, then the table is defined as a persistent user data table, also referred to as base tables. Hash and join index tables are also considered base tables.
If you do not explicitly specify SET or MULTISET, the table kind assignment depends on the session mode:
|Session Mode
The session mode default is in effect, except for when you:
- Copy a table definition using the non-subquery form of the CREATE TABLE … AS syntax. The default table kind is the table kind of the source table, regardless of the current session mode.
- Create a column-partitioned table. The default table kind is always MULTISET, regardless of the session mode or the setting of the DBS Control parameter PrimaryIndexDefault.
- Duplicate rows are permitted, in compliance with the ANSI SQL:2011 standard. If there are uniqueness constraints on any column or set of columns in the table definition, then the table cannot have duplicate rows even if it is declared as MULTISET. Vantage creates NoPI and column-partitioned tables as MULTISET tables by default.
- Some client utilities have restrictions regarding MULTISET tables. See the appropriate documentation:
- Teradata® FastLoad Reference, B035-2411
- Teradata® Archive/Recovery Utility Reference, B035-2412
- Teradata® Parallel Data Pump Reference, B035-3021
- Duplicate rows are not permitted. You cannot create the following kinds of tables as SET tables:
- Temporal
- Column-partitioned
- NoPI
- A temporary table definition is created and stored in the data dictionary for future materialization. You can create global temporary tables by copying a table WITH NO DATA, but not by copying a table WITH DATA.
- You cannot create a column-partitioned global temporary table.
- You cannot create a global temporary table with row-level security constraint columns.
- Create a volatile table. The definition is of a volatile table is retained in memory only for the duration of the session in which it is defined. Space usage is charged to the login user spool space. Because volatile tables are private to the session that creates them, the system does not check the creation, access, modification, and drop privileges. A single session can materialize up to 1,000 volatile tables.
- The contents and the definition of a volatile table are dropped when a system reset occurs.
- If you frequently reuse particular volatile table definitions, consider writing a macro that contains the CREATE TABLE text for those volatile tables.
- You cannot create a column-partitioned volatile table or normalized volatile table.
- You cannot create secondary, hash, or join indexes on a volatile table.
- You cannot create a volatile table with row-level security constraint columns.
- For further information about volatile tables, see Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Data Definition Language Detailed Topics , B035-1184 .

"Would you spell that for me?" I asked the nurse over the phone. My head was already spinning. Heart pounding. I scribbled a word I had never heard of onto the only scrap piece of paper I could find in our car. A word that turned our world upside down.
"You have a type of blood cancer," she said, "and we are referring you to a specialist." "Cancer" That word rattled around my brain, like a pinball, bouncing back and forth, looking for a place to land. A place to register. And then it dropped. Sinking into my heart and mind.
The diagnosis I received on January 17th, 2018 transformed our lives. But it was also a turning point. We wrestled with how God wanted us to walk through this. How do we faithfully and humbly trust God in the midst of this? And with four kids, 15, 13, 11, and 9, how do we model an honest faith, one marked by trust, hope, and obedience? We realized this might be our "finest hour" in terms of showing our kids what faith really looks like.
Read this: How we should respond to hardship
Without saying too much, but saying enough, we sat down with our kids a few nights after my diagnosis and shared the following four truths. While I am sure much of that night is a blur, we do our best to keep coming back to these convictions, among others, as we continue to walk this road together as a family.
- God is still good and faithful – no matter what
From an early age, we've taught our kids that God is good. God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus to die for us. Cancer has not changed God's character. Even when we don't understand what He is doing, God has a plan and purpose. God can take something like cancer and use it for good. No matter what the outcome is, this doesn't change the truth that God loves us and has promised to never leave us. Just as He has been faithful to us in the past, He will be faithful to us in the future.
- God is going to grow us through this
We encouraged them that we were going to go through this together as a family. And that God was going to use it to grow our trust in Him. God doesn't waste suffering – including our own. As much as we'd like to get out of our suffering, God is going to grow us in this suffering. As He often does, God uses what is painful to purify us, teaching what is really most important in life.
- Watch the Church – God is good and so are His people
Jesus is our greatest hope. But He has blessed us with an amazing family to belong to. We are going to need the church. We are going to need one another for strength, hope, and healing. I told our kids there is nothing better than the church. I encouraged our kids to pay attention to how the church, both our local church, and the larger body of Christ, responds in love, prayer, and support. Our hope and confidence is in Jesus, but there is nothing better than being a part of the church.
- I love you
And lastly, I told our kids I love them. Before we prayed together that night, I walked around and hugged each of our kids. I told them I love them. I was proud of them. And that Jesus loves them even more. Of course, there were lots of tears! But I wanted them to hear and know and feel the love I have for each of them. I wanted God's love and my love to be a source of security for them as we walk through a scary season.
What are you walking through right now? Perhaps this has been your story. Or maybe your loss, or tragedy, has been something far different. A job loss. Miscarriage. Death of a friend or relative. Each person's suffering is unique – painful and scary in its own way.
Be encouraged, that even in our heartache, our tears, our honest petitions and questions, God is at work. Our kids are watching. Our kids are listening. This too might be your "finest hour" to show your kids what it looks like to love and trust Jesus, even when you don't understand what He is up to. He really is good. Faithful no matter what. He is growing you. Because of Jesus, we have a living hope, a glorious future. And He really does love you.

Invisalign For Adults
Invisalign is a convenient and flexible alternative to metal braces for Calgary adults looking for a straighter smile.
There's no question that orthodontic treatment can be challenging at any stage of life – particularly for busy adults. That's why Invisalign is often the ideal option. They are discreet, and allow you to straighten your teeth with minimal disruptions to your daily routines.
Many of our adult patients hesitate to undergo orthodontic treatment because they think it is for children or teenagers. While this is a common conception, more and more adults these days are choosing to correct the misalignment issues that were left untreated in their youth.
If you have healthy teeth and gums, there's no reason you shouldn't improve your oral health, and achieve straighter, more symmetrical smile.
Many adults balk at the idea of wearing traditional metal braces because they are concerned about their aesthetics, and how they will affect the image they project, both at work and during social time.
While metal braces are a common and effective orthodontic treatment, our adult patients often want something a little bit more discreet. And that's where Invisalign comes in.
Invisalign is made of a transparent plastic material, making it difficult for the casual observer to see when worn. The aligners are comfortable and also removable, so you can easily fit them into your day-to-day routines without any major disruptions.
Because the aligners do not require adjustments the way traditional braces do, you'll only have to visit the dentist for checkups and progress reviews during your treatment.

What Our Clients Say
When we traveled to Italy, we were fortunate enough to go with Joyce. She was extremely knowledgeable about the geography, language, and in particular, the rich history of the country and its inhabitants. She had expertise in both the wines and culinary offerings of the regions. Her knowledge proved invaluable for obvious reasons but in addition, we thought that she truly was able to add to the experience of a lifetime! She even found us the church in which my great-grandparents were married in 1910! We felt that we had seamlessly transitioned from tourist to almost native! Next stop, Sicily."
Rob and Krista Vigorito
Our remarkable hostess Joyce Tarantino gave us an inside view of the inner workings of the Tuscan wine scene, complete with access to top winemakers producing unparalleled vintages."
Laura Rawlings
We had a wonderful time with Joyce in Tuscany tasting Brunellos, Vino Nobile, and Rosso de Montalcino. When we get home each bottle from the cases that she curated for us will remind us of this lovely vacation."

Finnish Winner weekend 6-7.12.14
The showyear of 2014 is now over. The last shows for this year were The Helsinki Winner & Finnish Winner Show. Sven won his class both days and ended up second best male with RESCAC & RESCACIB in the Helsinki Winner Show. I´m more than pleased!
This year Sven has collected 3X JCAC, 5X CAC from three different countries, 2 X CACIB, 6 X BOB and two new titles: Estonian Junior Champion & Estonian Junior Winner 2014.
Vera gave birth to our A-litter in February 2014 and got one more CACIB, BOB & FinnSiegerpoint during the year. She was close to death in end of August after a snakebite, still not completely in shape but things are looking good!
Best award this year is Ebba´s CAC in Agility. A lot of work and years of training is behind her victory.
Next year will be more than interesting. We will begin the year with moving 500 metres into a larger home with a nice yard, I think that the dogs will enjoy it! A new showteam is growing up, I hope that Malthe, Leo and Elsa will be fit for fight during 2015. Sven will turn two and hunt his last CAC to finish his titles. After the 3rd of March we will also have a veteran in our team. Ebba is then 8 years and will visit the showrings now and then during the year. If everything goes as I have planned, I will also have a black/silver boy travelling to shows with me next year. =)
No puppies are planned for next year, but hopefully a mating in the end of 2015 will end up in small Vera/Sven juniors in the beginning of 2016.

Published 6th May, 2015
We're not just keeping an eye on the kickstarter campaign (three days and almost at 50%! but go ahead and support us by all means, we're not there yet!), we're also working hard on Krita itself. Dmitry is busy with improving the performance of clone layers, adding PSD file support to the Layer Styles feature and fixing loading and saving masks to PSD files (we implemented that in October, but broke it subsequently…), and we've got a brand new release for you today.
Well, I made packages for Windows available already on Sunday, but here's scoop — what's in, what not! Layer styles, startup speed improvements, memory consumption improvements, bug fixes!
Big New Things
And we mean big. This is the first release with the layer styles feature sponsored by last year's kickstarter!
And then there are the bug fixes…
(Please keep in mind that these builds are unstable and experimental. Stuff is expected not to work. We make them so we know we're not introducting build problems and to invite hackers to help us with Krita on OSX.)
Be notified with new downloads and upcoming release information. We will not send you any type of Sale or Limited Time Only junk. Just the good stuff!

Add a Whole-Home Water Filter for Better Tasting, Healthier Tap Water in San Antonio
Drinking water can normally be expected to contain small amounts of contaminants, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
More than four out of 10 Americans use some type of home water treatment unit, according to the Water Quality Association. Some filter their water to improve taste, while others do it because of health concerns.
A whole-home water filter from San Antonio Air Service Experts can do both, delivering fresh water for everything from drinking to cleaning to washing clothes.
Not only is this filter crucial for better-tasting, odorless water, it's vital for your family's well-being.
Know What's in Your Drinking Water
A whole-home water filter removes elements you drink or that your skin absorbs.
It pulls out:
- Heavy metals
- Chlorine
- Lead
- Industrial chemicals
- Trihalomethanes, many of which are considered hazardous
Water quality fluctuates by geography and is changed by the refinement your water goes through. It's also affected by construction, mining and agriculture, as well as mineral deposits groundwater streams through.
You can learn which contaminants are in your San Antonio home's drinking water by browsing the Environmental Working Group's database. About 81 percent of community utility supplies have tested positive for chemicals associated with to cancer, database records show.
Find the Right System for Your Home with San Antonio Air Service Experts
San Antonio Air Service Experts provides a number of water filtration systems—carbon, reverse osmosis, magnetic and infrared—that take in toxins. The systems carry unpurified water through filters that trap contaminants.
Installation isn't difficult and can be done near your other plumbing. We uphold systems with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee,* so you know we are getting the job done properly the first time.
We can help you choose a system that matches your needs and budget. Call us at 210-570-9705 or book an appointment today for a healthier home.

All lettings and estate agency businesses need software and systems to gain efficiencies, streamline processes and to make the lives of their people and the clients they do business with easier. At least that's the theory! However in the fast moving world of proptech, property businesses can be overwhelmed with the products and services on offer without realising the hidden costs of services and systems that aren't fit for purpose.
Opting to collaborate with a leading proptech firm experienced in delivering core technology property software designed for interoperability with leading proptech solutions and consulting on a customised integrated approach will maximise return on investment and optimise efficiency now and for the future.
The foundation of a good collaborative relationship is trust and building trust through shared values. Each and every letting and estate agent has a different 'value' and that is a lot to share. So the software partner should find out what it does share with its lettings and estate agent clients and cultivate shared values explaining its own values such as openness, honesty, transparency and collaboration. Your software partner should research your business, understand how it will play a role in day-to-day activities, and use this information to strengthen its collaborative approach to integrating its core technology with leading proptech services and systems.
"Typically the challenge that a lettings and estate agency business faces with many new proptech applications is the lack of experienced knowledge to integrate products or services around a core technology application. It isn't until you've lived with an application or service that you really get a feel for whether it's a good fit or not and by then it's often too late to forklift a move to another service" says Nigel Poole, Managing Director at Eurolink.
"We all need technology to work as efficiently as possible for us and to make our lives easier, not more complicated. The lettings and estate agency industry is evolving and you've got to consider the best way for you to stay ahead of your competitors. Opting for a collaborative relationship with your software partner should be at the forefront of your business agenda and in doing so you'll be making considered investment choices for your lettings and estate agency technology."
