Thomas W. Geisbert is a virologist who specializes in viral hemorrhagic fevers such as the Ebola virus. He and his team at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston are currently working on developing vaccines to treat these diseases, which have mortality rates as high as 90 percent.
READING I always have my eye on the journal Virology. In my field, that's where you go. I also recently read an interesting article in the New England Journal of Medicine titled "Emergence of Zaire Ebola Virus Disease in Guinea," describing the origins of the current outbreak of Ebola virus in West Africa.
LISTENING Texas red dirt country music like Whiskey Myers and Jason Boland and the Stragglers. It's not country and it's not rock but something in between that has a Western flair and it's kind of edgy. I found this red dirt radio station out of Fort Worth — 95.9 FM, The Ranch — that I listen to online.
WATCHING I don't watch a lot of TV but if I do, I'm probably going to watch something like that "Mountain Men" show, or I'll watch "Duck Dynasty" if I'm really bored. If football is on that's what I'm going to be watching, whether it is pro or college. When I was a kid, I watched a lot of Westerns. "Dances With Wolves" is probably my favorite movie of all time. Unlike in most Westerns, the Indians aren't bad.
FOLLOWING I go to Google News and PubMed every morning and type in "Ebola" to see what's going on, and then I hit ESPN because I love sports. I also check Weather.com a lot. We live in Galveston and I have a ranch in West Texas, so I'm constantly watching the weather. In West Texas I'm watching for rain. I'm like, Please let it rain. In Galveston this is peak hurricane season. We don't tend to do animal studies during peak hurricane season because if a hurricane came we'd have to end the studies and it would be costly, let alone the ethical issues.
WEARING Because Ebola is so dangerous, I work in a Biosafety Level 4 laboratory. You're in a spacesuit that's hooked up to a positive pressure air line — an air hose. I'm not claustrophobic. A Biosafety Level 4 laboratory is not a good place to be if you are.
HUNTING One of my favorite things to hunt is white-tailed deer — and not just any white-tailed deer, but big trophy white-tailed deer. I have about 20 mounted heads around the house. I hunt by any means legal — bow and arrow, rifle. Culturally, I'm 180 degrees from anybody who would read your newspaper.

It was the best of both worlds. Growing up near Paris offered me access to Culture-with-a-capital-C but spending my school vacations at my grandparents' farm outside of Gourdon gave me more than a passing acquaintance with the pain and pleasure of agriCulture. Raising animals and growing food is hard work but, as an eight-year-old kid from the big city, my tasks were a lot of fun. I helped feed the rabbits and there always was a new fluffle of lapereaux waiting for me; of course, the babies received extra attention. I was less interested in the ducks and chickens but preparing la pâtée was extremely enjoyable: squishing small boiled potatoes between my fingers and mixing the flesh with grains de maïs probably triggered the primal instinct of kneading bread, or maybe it was just the delight of being allowed –even encouraged– to do something messy! I also practiced my sleuthing talents by hunting for hidden nests: Grandma always knew when one of her hens made a habit of jumping over the fence of the poulailler and laid her eggs in a secret location. I spent hours trimming haricots verts, shelling petits pois, peeling pommes de terre. But my favorite vegetable was also the most seasonal and regal one: l'asperge.
My grandfather had set up a couple of banks of asparagus plants along one of his vineyards, the one closest to the house and to his vegetable garden. At that time, I only knew asparagus to be white and spotting them required a good eye; it was a little bit like sleuthing for stray hen nests. Asparagus grows quite fast and you want to harvest them as quickly as possible so they don't get too fibrous and tough: in season, I would check the banks morning and afternoon. I looked for the purplish-white tips barely emerging out of the mounted dirt; then, I would poke the gouge into the sandy dirt, aiming to section the base of the spear and lift it out in one swift movement. Grandpa had woven a special basket to collect asparagus, a long and shallow one, but still based on the same design as all the wicker baskets he made. Asparagus was the most prized vegetable on the farm, the one that grandma would can and serve on special occasions.
I discovered green asparagus after moving to California. It was a very easy transition. The San Joaquin Valley of California is a top producer: the légume royal is abundant and cheap. The flavor is a bit more herbaceous than the white one but I like that and I love that the stalks do not need to be peeled! I enjoy the versatility of green asparagus: I boil it or steam it, of course, but I also roast the spears with truffle oil, lemon zest and grated parmesan; I use them in stir-fry, risotto, or pasta dishes; they are magnificent with Hollandaise sauce; and when visuals matter, the bright green spears strike a nice contrast on white plates…
Payrignac, "my" little village of 700 souls, is the home of several asparagus growers. As luck would have it, a few of our spring trips back home coincided with the Asparagus Festival. Along with fresh asparagus sales –white and green–, it's also the sought-after venue for a giant asparagus omelet prepared by the local restaurant: free samples! We won't be there this year and, as an avid mushroom hunter, I'll miss the opportunity to forage for wild morels as well: they are a perfect foil for asparagus. Fresh is always best but trust me: of all dried mushrooms, morels are the one that rehydrates the best due to their sponge-like structure. My recipe for Asparagus with Morel Cream combines two of the most special ingredients to usher the Spring season. Enjoy!
Asparagus with Morel Cream
Asperges à la crème de morilles
Serves 4
½ oz dried morels
20 green asparagus
2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup whipping cream
Salt and pepper
Soak dried morels in warm water for an hour. Lift the mushrooms out of the water, leaving all grit behind, and drain them on a paper towel. Cook the asparagus in salted boiling water for 7-8 minutes. Transfer them to a pot of ice cold water. When they are cold, drain on paper towels. In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter; sweat the shallots for a couple of minutes; add the morels and cook 5 minutes. Pour the cream into the pan and reduce until the sauce coats a wooden spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Melt the remaining butter in a frying pan and warm up the asparagus. Set 5 asparagus each on 4 warmed plates and top with morels and cream sauce.
Note: this side dish pairs very well with poached eggs, a grilled veal chop or turkey cutlets.

Protect Yourself From Student Loan Scams and Internet Crime
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 9, 2018) — Scammers have found a target-rich environment of individuals with student debt. In honor of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, University of Kentucky Information Technology Services is bringing awareness to internet scams.
For many, adult life starts after graduating from high school, going to college, completing your degree, looking for a job, and building your career. One thing many students have in common is student loans. Consider yourself lucky if you don't have a huge amount of debt after graduation. According to a 2018 article from CNBC, the average student owes $37,172 in student loans upon graduation. Sadly, scammers take advantage of students who desperately want to get rid of their student loans quickly.
A student loan scam could start with a phone call, an email or even a letter saying you've been "pre-approved" for certain programs; and, promising to help you get out of debt quicker if you agree to pay an advance fee of up to $1,500.
The "Oregon FBI Tech Tuesday: Building a Digital Defense Against Student Loan Debt" gives tips on handling this type of scam:
- Never pay up front for any kind of fees. The moment you pay the fee, communication with the company ends and your money will not be refunded.
- Avoid unrealistic offers. Offers promising to help you pay off a huge amount of your student loans within one or two years. It sounds good, but sadly, it is too good to be true.
- Be aware, even if their website looks "legit." Scammers will use lookalikes or clone a logo from a government website, such as the Department of Education to make their website feel real and trustworthy.
What should I do instead?
There is nothing that a company can offer that you cannot do for yourself for free. Go to StudentLoans.gov to apply for an income-driven repayment plan, learn about government forgiveness plans or consolidate your federal loans — all for free. Or, use Federal Student Aid's Repayment Estimator to see your monthly payment and projected loan forgiveness on various plans based on your income and family size.
What can you do if you think you have fallen victim to a scam?
Contact the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov or call your local FBI office immediately. The IC3 handles online scams and other cyber fraud.

My Style // Midi Metallics for the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic
I finally attended the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic for the first time this past Saturday, and it was everything! I had so much fun twirling in the sea of the signature Veuve orange, and sipping on champy and rosé, which are always my most favorite spirited beverages of choice, no matter where I am.
I hadn't planned to attend this year, but when your cousin texts you and says, "My job is giving me tickets to the Polo Classic in NYC—wanna go?", you shave your legs, grab a dress and a toothbrush and get on the road! Well, actually these days it's more like: talk to the hubs, prep food and clothes for the baby, do her hair, and then throw some stuff in a bag for yourself while praying you aren't forgetting anything because #mombrain. But you get my drift. I was so in!
The highly instagrammed event did not disappoint in person. There was so much pretty, from the signature orange umbrellas covering the grassy knoll, to the floral photo backdrops, to the beautifully dressed people milling about, sipping their champs, and playing games like corn hole, life sized chess and life sized jenga.
Because my cousin and I were going as a twosome, we decided to forego bringing blankets or a picnic basket because we wanted to be able to move around together and not worry about saving a spot; but if you're attending with a group, that's definitely the thing to do. I have a group of friends that I attend wine festivals with every year and we always bring chairs, blankets and tons of food, set up shop early, and then buy bottles of wine to share. This is an event where it makes sense to do that with a group as well (except for the chairs, I didn't see anyone with those), and just take in the whole scene from your chosen perch. Even if you don't bring food, you'll still be able to grab a little something here and there from the food trucks on site. (None of this applies, of course, if you're in the Rosé Garden, this event's version of VIP. We weren't rolling like that this year but it's my understanding that everything in that area is provided and plentiful!)
Style-wise, nothing is off limits as long as it's ladylike or gentlemanly. We saw some really stunning and extravagant looks, and some really beautiful simple ones too. We each decided to keep it cute and simple, me in a dress and my cousin with a jumpsuit. We both had sun hats that we opted not to wear with our outfits, but I would for sure recommend one because the sun on the lawn was unrelenting in beating down on us. To that end, I'd also encourage opting for waterproof / smudge proof makeup for the day, because no one wants her face running down her couture! (If you can make that show reference, we go together! Ha). And a small handbag is easiest to carry around all day, so you're probably not bringing your full face for reapplication.
shop the style
So, to the outfit! I found this dress literally at the eleventh hour, and I wasn't entirely sold on it at first, but I ended up absolutely loving it. It fit well, it was easy to wear, it was cool, and it had pockets, which is the ultimate dress find, in my opinion. The shoes were a Target find that I had tried on before and decided they weren't right for me, but I just had a feeling they'd work with this dress, and they did—so well! Rounding out the metallic accessories, I added this gold and silver clutch that I've had FOREVER, and a rosy, oversized pair of Chloe sunnies.
Have you attended the Vueve Clicquot Polo Classic? Were you there this year? What were your thoughts? Let's dish in the comments!

Cote d'Azur today is some kind of an allegory for a luxury type of living or holidays. I'm sure, you have also used this words meaning not a particular geographical place, but everything the most outstanding and perfect what is possible to imagine while having a journey. And what if Monaco is not only an abstract Heaven on Earth but a very real tourist destination?
Why to go to Monaco?
It's really amazing, how many events are held through the year in this tiny country, that is only 2 square kilometers in territory (which is not only very little, but even almost 3 times smaller, than Sokolniki Park in Moscow, for example!). First of all, Monaco is famous for its Monte-Carlo cazino, of course. And everything, connected with posh lifestyle as well: yachts exhibitions, galla evenings and charity balls. And we would have chosen May as a time to visit Monaco due to a legendary "Formula 1" Grand-Prix, that Alesha is a true fan of, and an oldtimers Grand-Prix – a very spectacular show.
But there is something interesting for every person. Within the last years Monaco turned into a real attraction for every music lover all over the world. World famous artists regulary perform here, saying nothing about an annual music festivals. The closest one, by the way, starts on the 23rd of November and will last till the 10th of December – that is the 10th Jazz Festival.
Jazz Festival is being held in a wonderful Opera Garnier building, that is a point of interest itself. It is a number one stage for the many world-wide known musical and art events for over 100 years so far, for example, Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" was first demostrated here. And the building was made by the same architector as that of a Paris House of Opera. During the Jazz Festival such legends as saxophonist Joshua Redman or a Belgian singer Selah Sue would perform along with the young talents like GoGo Penguin.
Those of you who are not ready to travel in November already:) still have a lot of options. From January up to March there is a huge Opera Festival (you can already buy tickets online since the beginning of November). Spring Arts Festival starts in April and is followed by a Feast of St.John on the 24th of June (this feast is actually an astonishing musical procession). July is the time for an outdoor concerts at Prince's Palace by the legendary Philharmonic Orchestra of Monte-Carlo (by the way, in the middle of the summer there is also the Firework Festival, so it's just the right time to see everything).
The nicest thing is that you can really visit Monaco at any time of the year. The climat is very friendly here: not more than 30 degrees in summer and not less than +10 – in winter. But anyway, experienced tourists recommend to choose the May to September period of time.
How to travel in Monaco?
Despite the fact, that it's as easy to organize a trip to Monaco as to any other European country, there are still some tricky moments.
First of all, visa. Russia doesn't have an official Monaco embassy, so you will have to go for a French visa. Both countries are OK with that, so it shouldn't cause any difficulties.
The easiest way to get to Monaco is via Nice. About 4 hours of flight – and you're in France and it will only take you about half an hour to get to Monaco by car or about 45 minutes, if you choose a bus.
By the way, buses are a good choice to navigate inside the country as well. Six lines connect all the main sights. But they only operate till 21:00. The best way to see Monaco is a hop on – hop off bus, which you surely should be familiar with, cause it operates in many countries now. But the most fascinating attraction is probably a small locomotive, that goes through the country in half an hour. Be attentive: it doesn't operates in winter months!
To rent a car and to make a dream of a silk scarf waving out of a cabriolet come true is also a good option. There are a lot of car rent companies in Monaco. Speed limit here is 50 kms per hour (what is not a great problem in a country with a 2 square kms territory, isn't it?) and some regions (like Monaco Ville) are only could be accepted with a special pass.
We with Alesha have been dreaming of visiting Cote d'Azur for a really long time, but it's only a dreams by now:) Hope, some day they will come true! And what about you, do you want to visit Monaco?
Post is sponsored by Principality of Monaco, but all the thoughts belong to us.

I have been having problems trying to get this Gotek device working with a Casio FZ-10m. The drive has been upgraded to the beta version of the firmware and was working correctly in a Roland S-550 sampler.
Both JA jumper (for drive ready on pin 34) and ID0 jumper are closed. I have tried a few different config files but im currently using the automatic indexed CFG file. I have created a blank HFE file from the Casio FZ1 template within the software which is about 3.2mb.The issue itself is when I attempt to save data to the drive the sampler states "NO DISK SPACE" If I try and format It starts executing but after a minute or so displays "DISK ERROR" I have also tried a FZF img with no luck. What am I missing?Has anyone got the Gotek working with the FZ yet? does anyone have a working CFG and HFE combination they can upload.
Please help.
I did not find the right solution from the internet.

Flights to Tanzania.
Tanzania is an East African country known for its vast wilderness areas. They include the plains of Serengeti National Park, a safari mecca populated by the "big five" game (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), and Kilimanjaro National Park, home to Africa's highest mountain. Offshore lie the tropical islands of Zanzibar, with Arabic influences, with a marine park home to whale sharks and coral reefs.
Flights to Krabi. Thailand.
Krabi, on southern Thailand's west coast, is a province characterized by craggy, sheer limestone cliffs, dense mangrove forests, and more than a hundred offshore islands. Some of its most popular beach destinations include the Phi Phi Islands, which jut from the sea like giant rainforested boulders, and Railay Beach, accessible only by boat and a prominent rock-climbing spot.
Flights to Tenerife.
Tenerife is the largest of Spain's Canary Islands, off West Africa. It's dominated by Mt. Teide, a dormant volcano that is Spain's tallest peak. Tenerife may be best known for its Carnaval de Santa Cruz, a huge pre-Lent festival with parades, music, dancing and colorful costumes. The island has many beaches (with sands from yellow to black) and resort areas, including Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas.
Flights to Singapore.
Singapore, an island city-state off southern Malaysia, is a global financial center with a tropical climate and multicultural population. Its colonial core centers on the Padang, a cricket field since the 1830s and now flanked by grand buildings such as City Hall, with its 18 Corinthian columns. In Singapore's circa-1820 Chinatown stands the red-and-gold Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, said to house one of Buddha's teeth.

In 2013, the data revolution was going full steam ahead in K-12 education, but it was going in the wrong direction. Everything was focused on using data for evaluative purposes and placing blame instead of using data as a resource to help drive improvement. The collective impact movement, when implemented with rigor and discipline in a community, has helped to slowly but surely shift the mindset towards that of improvement and I hope that continues. There are outstanding examples that can be shared of data being used by Cradle to Career Network members to lift up and build on what works.
But what about the other two ends of the cradle-to-career continuum: early childhood and higher education? One could argue that the federal intervention in early 2015 requiring all Head Start providers to reapply helped to reinforce the value of using data to improve quality. There was certainly a focus on making sure the agencies delivering services were having impact. Now there is an expectation that data is being used on an ongoing basis to improve.
On the other end of the continuum, higher education, the driver for using data for improvement is not as clear. One could argue that the talk nationally about outcomes-based funding has had some effect. But I would venture to say that the Lumina Foundation's Community Partnerships for Attainment (CPA) initiative has had an equivalent if not greater impact.
Starting in 2013, the Foundation identified 75 communities over three years and challenged partners to work together in a focused way to:
- Increase transparency and the pace of change around college enrollment, retention and (most importantly) attainment
- Take the time and energy to understand what is having impact and how to improve
The Lumina Foundation was not prescriptive in how to make these changes happen, but they worked to constantly identify emerging best practices they could lift up to expedite the progress of communities committed to increasing higher education attainment across the country. In so doing, Lumina Foundation created a demand for and respect of the value of data to inform action than we had ever seen before nationally.
One recent moment in this initiative reinforced this point perfectly. At the final gathering of the CPA communities in February 2016, there was a seminal moment and, strangely enough, it was a tale of data-driven practice. Georgia State University shared the outstanding results they have realized regarding their progress helping non-traditional and first-generation college students complete their desired degree. The headline is indeed compelling. But those in the room have heard success stories before. What was interesting was how the conversation was less about the success and more about how the university utilized data to achieve their results. Georgia State University used data to identify the key barriers and then continued using data — with their most innovative faculty and staff — to identify and constantly improve upon what was working. People rushed to microphones after to ask questions and dozens were left wanting as the time ran out.
I can say with confidence this would not have been the case before CPA started. As communities engaged in this initiative and influenced their peers nationally, there has been growing recognition that higher education can use their inherent data expertise to be transparent about progress and look inward at their performance. The intense focus on enabling creative insights and solutions to emerge over the last three years through the initiative has been a significant accelerant to help make this happen. With this key foundational insight and some emerging exemplars nationally, I have much more confidence we will, as a nation, achieve the bold goal of 60 percent college attainment by 2025.

This one's a tough cookie, but if you're clued up on the synopsis, you probably already knew that.
António Campos' Christine is not for the faint of heart; it may not be especially violent on the surface, but it does provoke a distinct, yet omnipresent feeling of malaise throughout, like a feedback loop that's not quite loud enough to make you cover your ears, but loud enough to make you feel nauseated.
Don't expect it to be fast-paced either; Campos' take on '70s TV reporter Christine Chubbuck's life (and death) is the kind of biopic that seems suspended in mid-air, yet it's the fragility of this approach that enables the spectator to connect with what's happening on the screen.
Christine is a film about loneliness and depression that doesn't fall foul of customary clichés commonly used to portray mental health issues. By showing us everything in sort of a blur -- the doctor's appointment, the Baltimore vacancy announcement, even the fatal shot -- the film allows for a sense of unheimlich: a dense white fog to install itself between what is shown to us and what we end up perceiving.
Rebecca Hall's performance is superb, and pretty much steals the entire movie; she is brilliant in balancing the apparent normality and unbearable pain that coexists within the character, incarnating the late reporter in an almost scary way. This allied to a retro-coloured cinematography -- albeit not in the way it could become too imposing and prevent us from fully immersing in the narrative -- sends the mind into a constant buzz (the feedback noise I mentioned earlier) that disturbs us on an almost subconscious level.
Yes, Christine is incredibly violent and disturbing, but in a veiled kind of way; contrary to what you might have thought, this isn't a film about work-related stress or gender discrimination (although it does touch on these issues) - it's about despair and isolation, not necessarily from others but from your own self. As the film progresses you feel increasingly suffocated, yet the relief brought about by the climax inundates you with guilt. It's a profound commentary on the human condition.

As Dr. Skorberg's first patients began to age, they often spoke with her about their physical appearance and aging. As we age, it's not unusual to look in the mirror and see aspects of ourselves that look "older" than we feel – frown lines and crow's feet are often one of the first things women notice and wish they could change.
After speaking to woman after woman who wanted their outward appearance to match their inward youthfulness, Dr. Skorberg began offering aesthetics injectables, including BOTOX. Many of A Woman's Healing Center patients have been happy with their BOTOX results, and Dr. Skorberg even uses it herself!
If you're interested in looking younger, happier, and healthier, speak with us at your next appointment or schedule a consultation with Dr. Skorberg to see if BOTOX is right for you.
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX is an FDA-approved, nonsurgical treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe lines between the brows and the outside corners of the eyes. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of patients surveyed saw improvement in the appearance of their frown lines one month after treatment.
If you're curious about the benefits that BOTOX can bring to your face, be sure to schedule a consult or speak with your doctor about it during your next appointment. We're happy to answer all of your questions and help determine if it's an appropriate course of treatment for you.
Want to see how easy a BOTOX treatment is?

Far from Home (Belladonna Ink #1) by Lorelie Brown
Riptide Publishing
Cover Art by L.C. Chase
Read an Excerpt/Buy It Here
Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words is happy to have Lorelie Brown here today to share a little about herself and her latest release, Far from Home. Welcome, Lorelie.
- Describe yourself, your favorite character and your book, each in 5 words or less.
(Five words or less is such a challenge! It reminds me of my honors English teacher in high school, who used to make us describe Shakespeare plays in 25 words or less. Except harder.)
Lorelie Brown, myself: Author, mother, loved, runner, knitter.
My favorite character right now is Rachel from Far From Home: Demi-sexual, anorexic, anxious, broken, lonely.
(Wow. Um. I promise that this is a fun, slightly snarky read despite that description of Rachel. I mean, all that is true, but…No, really, it's a charming book. For reals.)
My book, Far From Home from Riptide Publishing, which has gotten starred reviews from both Publishers Weekly and Booklist: Lesbian, romance, marriage of convenience.
(I win! I did it!)
(I'm sure no one will notice these extra words. Words don't count if they're parenthetical asides, right?)
About Far From Home
My name is Rachel. I'm straight . . . I think. I also have a mountain of student loans and a smart mouth. I wasn't serious when I told Pari Sadashiv I'd marry her. It was only party banter! Except Pari needs a green card, and she's willing to give me a breather from drowning in debt.
My off-the-cuff idea might not be so terrible. We get along as friends. She's really romantically cautious, which I find heartbreaking. She deserves someone to laugh with. She's kind. And calm. And gorgeous. A couple of years with her actually sounds pretty good. If some of Pari's kindness and calm rubs off on me, that'd be a bonus, because I'm a mess—anorexia is not a pretty word—and my little ways of keeping control of myself, of the world, aren't working anymore.
And if I slip up, Pari will see my cracks. Then I'll crack. Which means I gotta get out, quick, before I fall in love with my wife.
This title is part of the Belladonna Ink universe.
About Lorelie Brown

Reviews|Literary Fiction|
The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood
25th Sep 2015
The novel is based on the Positron e-book series which she started in 2012, and set in a consumerist, near-future ustopia. (Atwood's coining which combines dystopia and utopia because, in her view, 'each contains a latent version of the other.')
It centres on Stan and Charmaine, a young married couple who've lost almost everything following a job market-decimating financial crash. They've been reduced to surviving on Charmaine's meagre wages from her shifts at an insalubrious bar, sleeping in their car and living in fear of being attacked by gangs of unhinged scavengers.
So when they hear about the Consilience/Positron twin town social experiment, they're eager to take part. But, as you'd expect, there's a catch. In return for food, a home, a steady job and a life of comfort, they have to spend every other month in prison. And it soon becomes clear that this is just one of their gated community's minus points, (and that something sinister lies beneath its veneer of safety and stability).
The narrative switches between Charmaine and Stan's point of view. We're privy to their often bizarre motivations and given insights into their childhoods, and lives before the market meltdown. Each chapter's divided into several sections so, along with Atwood's lean prose, the story zips along nicely. But plot-wise there's a heavy reliance on coincidence, and it's disappointingly easy to anticipate the twists. This means there's a lack of tension.
Atwood's commentary is as savage as it's tongue in cheek. But, considering that she's not shining a light on anything that we don't already know, or find disturbing, her approach to these issues is unnecessarily heavy-handedLike Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood and MaddAddam before it, the novel's concerned with a selection of our current social ills. These ambitiously include: consumer sex, the erosion of human rights, concerns about privacy and surveillance, unemployment, homelessness and the rising prison population. And, as if that's not enough, sexual obsession's explored too.
Atwood's commentary is as savage as it's tongue in cheek. But, considering that she's not shining a light on anything that we don't already know, or find disturbing, her approach to these issues is unnecessarily heavy-handed. Yes, corporations are exploitative and put profit above all else, the commodification of sex is Not A Good Thing, and we're aware that the haves and the have nots in our society exist in parallel universes.
Also, short-tempered Stan and Pollyannaish Charmaine aren't fully realised and are unsympathetic. In fact all the book's characters are duplicitous and rabidly self-serving, which doesn't work in a survival tale. Because, on some level, you need to find enough to like in the protagonists to root for them. Or, at the very least, for the story. But it's hard to summon the will to do either.
On the plus side there's plenty of Atwood's mordant humour. She compares the 'langorous and melting' sex in movies of yesteryear with its contemporary counterpart, and dismisses the latter as, 'bouncy athletics.' There's an unconventional love interest, and although there's no porn, rock or hip hop allowed in either city, there's all the Doris Day, Bing Crosby and show tunes you could wish for.
Despite its promising premise, The Heart Goes Last isn't as unsettling, or gripping, as it could be, and lacks the inventiveness of its predecessors. But in a time when refugees are left to drown, human genetic modification may well become a reality in the UK, and terrorists share their brutal slaughters on social media, maybe it's getting increasingly hard for Atwood to up the ante.

Effect of shelter on lamb survival in a high fecundity flock
The effect of 3 levels of shelter on perinatal mortality of lambs of Booroola x Coopworth ewes was examined during the lambing period for animals grazing or feeding on ryegrass white clover pastures. Highest survival rate was recorded for partial shelter compared with complete shelter and non shelter treatments. Death from starvation-exposure during the first 3 days of life was the most important cause of lamb losses where 40 % of all deaths were attributed to this cause. Of the remaining deaths, 22 % occurred within 3 to 4 hours of birth probably due to cold stress, 2 % because of dystocia and no particular causes could be diagnosed for the remaining 36 %. About 58 % of deaths due to starvation-exposure were recorded in the non shelter treatment compared to 21 % in each of the partial and complete shelter treatments indicating the importance of shelter in improving lamb survival. Mean chill index for each shelter treatment was highest in the non shelter treatment (1009 KJ m ⁻² h ⁻¹) indicating that the environment was cooler in this treatment compared to the partial shelter and complete shelter treatments (981 and 879 KJ m ⁻² h ⁻¹ respectively). Birth weight was the most important factor contributing to lamb survival. There was a highly significant relationship between birth weight and lamb survival. Lamb survival in different birth weight categories of 1-2.5 kg, 2.6-3.5 kg, 3.6-4.5 kg and 4.6-6.0 kg was 40, 80, 84, and 85 % respectively. Birth rank also significantly affected survival rate, mostly mediated through the birth weight. Survival rates of single, twin, triplet and quadruplet plus quintuplet lambs was about 94, 81, 66 and 51 % respectively. Lamb survival was higher in younger ewes except for the 3 year old ewe group. Low survival rate in 3 year old ewes (61.2 %) was due to higher losses in the triplet and quadruplet plus quintuplet lambs (46.7 and 55.6 % respectively) in the non shelter treatment. Lamb sex had no significant effect on lamb survival. Overall survival rate was significantly higher in hairy birth coated compared to fine birth coated lambs (84 vs 67 %). It was concluded that lamb survival can be improved by providing shelter during the first three days of age.... [Show full abstract]

Time and frequency from electrical power lines
Published: March 07, 2017
Jonathan E. Hardis, Demetrios Matsakis, Blair Fonville
Due to the efforts of Henry Warren, inventor of the Telechron electric clock, electric power companies have been a source of time and frequency reference for the public for over a hundred years. However, advances in technology and changes in the electric power industry have generated a movement within the industry to end the time-reference service. Power systems in the U.S. operate at a nominal 60 Hz, but in actual operation they accumulate significant phase error. It must be deliberately backed out to keep synchronous clocks on time--a procedure known as Time Error Correction (TEC). Today, many electric clocks still depend on the power system as the reference oscillator--that is, are synchronous--while others use other time references, such as local quartz oscillators and networked time servers--a benefit of the Internet of Things. Little is known about the overall impact of TEC on timekeeping in modern times. The Blackout of 2003 spawned a new regulatory structure for the electric power industry to improve reliability, and as an unanticipated side effect, a decision process that would most likely eliminate TECs was set in motion. The specific proposal is to retire regulatory standards designated BAL-004 and WEQ-006. We review the relevant structure and governing bodies of the U.S. power grids, and report on the current procedural status of these standards. In addition, we review possible scenarios for the future of the power system as an elapsed-time reference absent TEC. For this, we include analysis of the electric power at USNO, as measured over five years. The TECs appear in the data; an analysis with the industry-supplied record of the TECs indicates that without them a time deviation of about 7 1/2 minutes would have occurred on the Eastern Interconnection (grid) between the daylight saving time switches of March 2016 and November 2016.

DACA Update 8/31/2018Posted on Friday, August 31, 2018
DACA renewal filings allowed to continue:
A federal judge in Texas, Judge Hanen, has ruled to at least temporarily allow DACA filings to continue. The state of Texas, joined by six other states, had sued the Federal government, claiming that the DACA program begun under President Obama was illegal. Because such lawsuits take time, these states asked Judge Hanen to issue a "preliminary injunction," which would immediately halt the DACA program while the case was still pending before the Judge. Today, Judge Hanen refused to do that, which means that DACA applications must continue to be accepted. Please be aware that this case is not over, because Judge Hanen has not yet made a final decision about whether he thinks DACA was lawful or not. Unfortunately, the judge hinted that he thinks DACA may be unlawful, which means that he could ultimately decide to end DACA at the end of the trial.
DACA is safe, at least for now, and for those who wish to renew your DACA, you may do so. Please do pay close attention and check back often for updates. If you would like to discuss your case with an experienced immigration attorney in Chicago, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Review the official comments, letters and responses from the National Transitions of Care Coalition (NTOCC).
Visit the Policy Maker information page
Little Rock, Ark. (April 24, 2008) — The National Transitions of Care Coalition (NTOCC) Advisory Task Force has authorized the release of recently developed tools for helping healthcare professionals and organizations address problems inherent in transitioning patients from one level of care to another. The tools represent the culmination of several months of collaboration between 29 industry stakeholders who joined together in 2006 to address challenges associated with transitions of care. In addition, NTOCC is also releasing accompanying information on how to implement and measure the tools, as well as material designed to raise industry, policy maker, media, and the general public's awareness of transitions of care. The material will be made available on NTOCC's website (www.ntocc.org/) at the end of April. NTOCC is chaired and coordinated by the Case Management Society of America (CMSA) in partnership with sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC.
About National Transitions of Care Coalition (NTOCC)
NTOCC was formed in 2006 to address a serious U.S. health care issue: filling the gaps that occur when patients leave one care setting and move to another care setting. These transitions include patients moving from primary care to specialty physicians; moving or transferring patients from the emergency department to intensive care or surgery; or when patients are discharged from the hospital to home, assisted living arrangements, or skilled nursing facilities. The U.S. healthcare system often fails to meet the needs of elderly patient populations during these transitions because care is rushed and responsibility is fragmented with little communication across care settings and multiple providers. These failures lead to undue burdens on patients and their families and negatively impact patient safety, quality of care and outcomes. The focus of NTOCC is to bring together thought leaders and health care experts from various settings to address this critical issue, define solutions and develop tools to address the gaps impacting patient care. Tools and resources developed by NTOCC will be made available to everyone in the health care industry including providers, payers, patients and consumers. NTOCC is chaired and coordinated by the Case Management Society of America and sponsored by sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC. Visit www.ntocc.org.

RACE BAIT – Government shills are perpetuating racial tensions… … but you are letting them
I don't buy it I have examined many of these profiles and they are either government agents or there is some other group working to agitate the masses into fighting each other. Its not real. The real responses are the ones of disgust but to fake all the racial tensions in the USA the government has agents and shills posting race bait all over the place.
I suspect even the coming riots and the ones happening now are being injected with false flag agitators and may be even instigating them altogether.
Either way it is your choice, Love and Truth, or Fear and Hate.
"When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind." – Jiddu Krishnamurti
To end racism from the perspective of a black person or a white person is like trying to be a vegetarian while eating a hamburger. We are not our skin or our genitalia, we are all on one planet, and we are all individuals. Our strength is in being all one people as individuals, making our way individually earning, and being individually judged on our merits. Only a coward accepts pride for the achievements of black men or white men because of some IGNORANT sense of kindred belonging because they are of the same skin color. There is only a blanket ignorance that is masquerading in some lame and misguided understanding of what pride actually means, being proud of something that had NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. Just as there is no guilt in something I had nothing to do with because a lot of people with my skin color did just like all Christians are not child molesters and all Muslims are not terrorist and all Vegans are not angry lesbians. PEOPLE THAT'S ALL if it starts with Black or white or sex or religion its a tool of division and you should pay mind to this and try to turn it around, no one is perfect and I like all of us make mistakes but they are mine not those of my skin color ME MYSELF AND I!
Vote by not voting. Stop murder and war by not paying for it, your tax and your consumption is your partnership in crimes committed with its money.
Look to a Leaderless system of real time representational direct democracy with a constitution or law of no harm and equality. Remember hate begets hate and if you want to rid the world of weeds plant more flowers.
Just a drip of knowledge from an infinite ocean…
A smart man knows he knows just a drip of knowledge from an infinite ocean, and he is humble, with an open mind. An asshole knows this too, but acts as though he knows everything.
It seems most people are experiencing a kind of willful ignorance, motivated by an illusion of comfort. They are not concerned with anything beyond the safety of the now with our any foresight as to how much danger may lay ahead. Happy to stay in ignorance as to not effect their bubble, and truths when not consistent with their matrix of lies are offensive…
…OH AND an idiot knows everything, and he will argue to the death, to prove it true. READ MORE

EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. — LENOX, a name synonymous with technologically advanced band saw blades and fluids, introduces the new Q Series Performance Solution Band Saw Blade that provides long blade life and smooth cutting blade after blade. "Q" is the proprietary process developed by LENOX that greatly improves the performance and consistency of the band saw blade. The newly developed process produces blades that can provide a smooth and quiet cut and ultimately provide longer blade life.
The Lenox Q Performance Solution series, which includes the QXP and QGT blades, has optimized fatigue characteristics and precision cutting edges. The proprietary backing steel preparation and precision-crafted cutting edge create resistance to breaking and in-turn, long blade life.
"The Q Performance Solution is designed to deliver the lowest cost per cut in production sawing applications," said Gerry Overstreet, product manager, LENOX. "Blade after blade, the QXP and QGT will provide increased productivity and decreased tooling costs."
The QXP series is for use on solids of mild to moderate machinability such as aluminum, carbon steel, alloy, steel, stainless steel and bearing steels. The deep gullet design improves chip carrying capacity enhancing the blade's ability to cut at increased rates, while the extreme positive rake tooth form penetrates with less feed force. The QGT is developed for use on solids of moderate to difficult machinability like aerospace alloys, titanium alloys, tool steels and nickel-based alloys. The special set and tooth profile provides optimum chip formation in work hardening materials. The modified gullet design creates maximum beam strength.
The family of LENOX Q Performance Solution series band saw blades is now available in a variety of sizes from LENOX distributors nationwide.

Last night I made some delicious butternut squash bowls with (of course, grassfed) beef instead topped with sauce. Sadly, this meal was impromptu and I hadnt any time to blend a sauce together, grabbed some Trader Joes marinara sauce to use.
To prevent this, I should pre-make sauce. What're your favorite recipes when you feel like "paleo pasta" ?

That sounds very similar to my recipe, except that I use vinegar and a little anchovy paste instead of the wine.

I have made my own marinara sauce for ages:
Saute onions until translucent, add garlic and whatever herbs you want (I usually use dried oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes). Saute for another moment or two and then I add wine. Continue cooking until liquid is reduced to almost nothing and add tomatoes. When I don't have a lot of fresh tomatoes or don't have time/desire to process them, I use Muir Glen organic canned tomatoes, whole (put into a bowl and crushed by hand) or diced and another can of crushed. Simmer until all flavors marry and it tastes good.
I don't measure things when I'm making it and have perfected it through trial and error. It freezes really well and I've even canned it for Christmas gifts.
Edit: I should mention that I have made it without wine and it tasted fine, I just prefer the depth of flavor the wine adds. I've made it with both red and white, it usually just depends on what I have open or on hand. Make sure it is drinkable wine and NOT fortified "cooking" wine.

I make a raw sauce. Wash some Roma tomatoes, throw them in a blender with salt, olive oil, garlic, pepper, dried basil and dried oregano, buzz it up. Very quick, very tasty.
Awesome on spaghetti squash.

Pesto is wonderful too -
2 cups of arugula 2 cups of basil 1/2 cup of parmesan (if you do dairy), can sub with almond meal or nutritional yeast as well 3/4 cup of nuts (walnuts, pine nuts and almonds work best) olive oil, flax seed oil, avocado oil
Grind nuts in food processor. Add arugula and basil slowly until it is all chopped finely. Begin to pour in olive oil, pouring slowly and stopping altogether every 10 seconds to allow it to integrate. Keep going until it comes together as a sauce with a creamy consistency and a taste you enjoy. I end up using about 1/2 cup of EVOO typically. If you use flax, you can't heat up the sauce - just keep that in mind.

This is my Nonni's sauce recipe (more or less.. to taste). It is a super simple Sicilian style sauce without basil or garlic, but you can add those if you want. You can use fresh or organic canned tomatoes, which help cook it faster and bring out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes.
1 large white onion, chopped, sauteed until clear in a bit of olive oil. If you don't use olive oil, I would use an animal lard or butter rather than coconut oil - it would mess with the taste. Add in some oregano now, it helps pull the flavor out.
If using canned, add tomato paste first, cook onions down further with it to caramelize the tomato paste and onions, then add whole peeled canned tomatoes, crushed by hand or chopped up. More oregano (if needed), and only salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for about an hour, the longer, the better, especially if you use fresh tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are best because they are low moisture and low seed, which helps them cook down faster and ideal for sauces. One of her tricks to making an "aged" taste is to add Romano cheese (which she also does in her meatballs, which are the best ever, though she puts bread crumbs in hers, I just add one extra egg and they bind just fine because we fry them in olive oil before putting them in the sauce, which helps them brown up and get a nice crust that holds them together). I love Locatelli's Pecorino Romano.. amazing. It makes it sweet, savory and very hearty. Great to add browned ground meat to for a super tasty meat sauce. I make "meat lasagna" all the time, just extra onions for sweetness and texture, browned meat, and the sauce in a casserole dish, baked a bit for additional melding of flavors. Or out of the pot I call it "Italian Chili".

Meat is key for a really hearty sauce! My mother swears by pork. We always bake the pork chops on low-ish heat until it's cooked on the outside (but not totally cooked through), and then add them into the sauce and let it simmer away for hours. You can do the same with Italian sausage as well, and meatballs of course- but be careful with the latter as meatballs tend to sometimes fall apart if they cook too long in the sauce and there's too much stirring. So if you want the meatballs in the sauce to soak up some of that flavor, add them in last, and don't stir too much. The addition of meat to your sauce not only makes it more filling, it also really adds to the depth of flavor. It's best to make your sauce with fresh tomatoes, but you can also buy them cheap in the summer and freeze them for use in the winter and end up with a perfectly delicious sauce. Depending on the acidity of your tomatoes, you can try adding a little Sugar In The Raw to balance that. Other spices to try include LOTS of garlic, oregano, fresh basil, thyme, salt and bay leaves...remember the flavor of the sauce will change as it simmers, especially if you add meat, so taste it often and adjust as needed. as mentioned above, it does freeze wonderfully, so make a biiiig pot of it in the summer when fresh ingredients are available, and freeze it to warm you up during the winter.

I use Zucchini noodles for my pasta and have some meatballs for dinner. I mash all the ingredients together in a bowl. For the sauce, i added a homemade one and poured it over the meatballs.

I make my spaghetti with zucchini. I run it through a mandolin to get legit noodles that look and feel like spaghetti. I then saute it with this olive oil that has Italian herbs already in it.
Usually I brown grass-fed ground beef or maybe some chopped sausages with mushrooms, add a couple cans of tomato sauce, diced tomatos, basil, crushed garlic, red pepper flakes, a little salt, and a splash of chili oil. Kickass!

Chopped up tomatoes, lots of garlic, basil, oregano, whatever other herbs I have handy, and a bit of salt and pepper, put in a sauce pan on low heat til it's a good consistency.

On November 1, 2000, India gave birth to a new state Chattisgarh. The new state is carved out of India's largest state of Madhya Pradesh with an area of 443,000 square kilometers.
Though Chhattisgarh with an area of 135,194 square kilometers accounts for only 30 per cent of the total area of Madhaya Pradesh, it is still a considerable size, which is equivalent to more than three times the size of Kerala. Chhattisgarh Information The demand for the new state can be traced to a meeting of the Raipur district Congress in 1924 when the idea of a separate entity of Chhattisgarh was mooted. The leaders who took part in that meeting were of the view that the region of Chhattisgarh was culturally and historically distinct from the rest of Madhya Pradesh.
Raipur District is situated in the fertile plains of Chhattisgarh Region. This District is situated between 22° 33' N to 21° 14' N Latitude and 82° 6' to 81° 38' E Longitude. The District is surrounded by District Bilaspur in North, District Bastar and part of Orissa state in South, District Raigarh and part of Orissa state in East and district Durg in West.
The district occupies the south eastern part of the upper Mahanadi valley and the bordering hills in the south and the east. Thus, the district is divided into two major physical divisions, Viz., the Chattisgarh plain and the Hilly Areas.
Mahanadi is the main river of this district. Its tributaries being Sendur, Pairy, Sondur, Joan, Kharun and Shivnath. The fertility of lands of Raipur district can be attributed to the presence of these rivers. Mahanadi originating in the hills of Sihava flows in the direction of East into the Bay of Bengal.
Mahanadi crosses the district diagonally from its south western corner to Northern boundaries. The area to the west of the river comprising the North Eastern part of Dhamtari (now separated from the Raipur District), the whole of Raipur, Rajim Tehsil and the western part of Baloda Bazar Tehsil is a part of the open Chhattisgarh plain, gently sloping, thickly populated and closely cultivated and almost devoid of forests.
The plain also extends in a belt of about 13 to 15 kilometers east of Mahanadi, except between Sirpur and Kasdol where the hills are very closed. The Southern part of Mahanadi plain is about 305 metres above the M.S.L, whereas the northern part is about 244 metres above the M.S.L.

Augustine Kofie continues to push and explore technologies and strategies to build up space within his work, and in each series he poses himself a new problem to be solved. Build From Memory began with the challenge of how to produce dynamic movement from a stable, static (horizontal/vertical) foundation. The answer came in the form diagonal "breaks", perspectival lines that produce volume, protrusion, immersion, and depth in the horizontal-vertical system. It is these breaks that are built from memory and inspire the title of the collection, for they come directly from the 3D technique of traditional letter writing practices such as sign painting or graffiti.
Marco Mazzoni's chiaroscuro drawings depict women consumed by a hallucinogenic flood of flora and fauna. Whether coming from within or without, flower petals and butterfly wings merge with the subjects to create a haunting snapshot of sensuality. Inspired by Sardinian folklore and matriarchal culture, 'Dear Collapse' explores nature's mysteries of life and death.
Earlier this month, Evan Hecox unveiled his fourth solo show with Joshua Liner Gallery entitled, The Long Way. Hecox's latest collection of work reflects the artist's fascination with the terrain and topography of the Southwest, as these works on paper serve as a visual link to his recent road trip through this area of the US. Each work was created from sketches and memories of his travels, reflecting the character of these often arid and open spaces. Hecox explores the cultural past of the area with reductive works that leave us with whispers and hints at history. Abandoned cars and structures, add to a sense of a long past, here reduced to clean and clear lines and form.
