Carolina Panthers
NFL draft: Carolina Panthers select Christian McCaffrey with the No. 8 pick
Christian McCaffrey
Ht.: 5-11. Wt.: 202.
Position: Running back.
College: Stanford.
What he offers: McCaffrey is an absolute weapon on offense as both a running back and receiver. He has blazing speed and excellent hands that helped him break the all-time all-purpose yard mark in just his second year at Stanford, where he was used not only as a between-the-tackles back, but a receiving weapon and kick returner as well.
"This is going to make all of our jobs easier," said McCaffrey via conference call, regarding his role. He added he expects to be utilized in the same fashion as he was at Stanford – as both a receiver and a running back.
McCaffrey led the nation in all-purpose yards with 211.6 per game, and ranked fourth nationally with 145.7 rushing yards per game. He also averaged 183.7 all-purpose yards per game in his career, the most of any active FBS player. McCaffrey is one of two FBS players with at least 3,500 rushing yards and 1,200 receiving yards.
McCaffrey is the highest-selected running back by the Panthers since 1996, when the team selected Tim Biakabutuka at No. 8.
McCaffrey received the call from Carolina from his family's home in Colorado. During his pre-draft visit, he met with Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, his wife, the coaching staff and linebackers Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly.
"When I saw Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis, I tried to imagine blocking them and thought, man, I have to get ready!" McCaffrey joked.
Worth mentioning: In 2015, McCaffrey's 3,864 all-purpose yards broke the the NCAA record previously held by Barry Sanders. McCaffrey had posters of Sanders on his wall as a child. ... Was an Academic All-American while at Stanford. ... Plays the harmonica and the piano. ... Son of former Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey. ... McCaffrey was a Sports Illustrated "Faces in the Crowd" feature when he was a kid. ... The Panthers' new wide receivers coach, Lance Taylor, also coached McCaffrey at Stanford. ... Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman was a scout for the Broncos when McCaffrey (senior) played receiver. ... Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis announced the pick at the draft in Philadelphia, and accidentally announced McCaffrey as a "wide receiver."
Bet you didn't know: McCaffrey is the first white running back to be drafted in the first round since 1992 (Tommy Vardell, also from Stanford). McCaffrey also was a state champion in high school at Valor Christian in Colorado and the state's current record-holder in the 4X200 relay.
What they're saying: "Christian McCaffrey is one of the most finely tuned athletes on the planet." – Stanford head coach David Shaw

I was lucky and honoured to be involved in all Peel the Limelight's stage productions this year.
I stage managed Agnes of God the opening show of the season, which was also the first production in our brand new space in Jasmine City Building. That was followed by I Am My Own Wife, a one-man show about the true story of German antiquarian and cult figure Charlotte von Mahlsdorf. It was a daunting prospect given that the show demands about 10 different accents across a cast of 35 characters, but the audience reactions were lovely, and Time Out Bangkok were kind enough to describe the performance as "a riveting success", so I'm assuming I did something right.
In August I joined the ensemble of Hollow. This was our first original work at Peel the Limelight, and an important story about the terrible ordeal of "comfort women" during WWII.
And in November I played Dr. Roberto Miranda in Peel's final show of 2018, Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfman, as part of the Bangkok Theatre Festival.
Planning is well under way for the 2019 season, and having just been named (promoted to?) Technical Manager for the company it promises to be another busy year, whether that's on stage or behind the scenes.

I am fascinated by technology and its benefits. Tech news is typically the first news I see in my day. Advertising is my industry and I drop this technology news into my sphere. We're in what feels like an incredible slipstream of movement towards everyday Mixed Reality and I think we're in for a wild ride. I'm increasingly interested in where the two intersect.
Mixed Reality, if you are unfamiliar with the idea, is a lot like Augmented Reality. That is, the digital overlay of information onto your physical world; ranging from a speedometer on a car windshield to an app that uses your phone camera to display information about a given physical space. Virtual reality is separate, an immersive experience that completely occupies the users senses: in essence VR transports you to another place (a remarkable feat.) MR is a step beyond the immersion — it takes you further into the world you already inhabit. It is in its fledgling stages now, but we'll see it go far beyond its current form. MR will integrate many inputs into a seamless experience that frees our senses. No more eyes down on a device, no more holding a device. If the goal of technology is to allow us to do more, give us more, to enable us as a species, then this is the natural progression.
One day Google Glass will be viewed as the bag phones that we saw in the early 90s. No slight or fault, simply the precursor to what we now use and interact with everyday — we owe quite a bit to the devices that test our societal tolerances to where technology is allowed to go. Technology advances at a surprising rate and we will see this stream of MR devices becoming smaller and smaller allowing us to digitally interface with our physical world with no interference.
Now let's imagine the implications of this new reality on the advertising world. Our minds may leap to dystopian images of virtual signage covering every inch of our field of view — our inclination based on pop-up ads and the insistence of advertisers to invade our personal spheres every day. However, before we go down that path let's consider: when was the last time you actually saw a pop-up ad? When was the last time you sought to see an ad? When was the last time you used an ad-blocker? I bet your answers to those questions were more and more recent. If it's been months since you saw a pop-up ad (maybe years) It's likely been weeks since you sought to view an ad and only days (maybe minutes) since you employed an ad-blocker.
These tendencies will not suddenly decrease as we enter into another age. Following a temporary adaptation to the environment, we will likely see ad-blocking increased. Following the streamlining of our ad experiences we will see increased participation with adverts. This MR experience will allow you to not only see an ad but to interact with it. Imagine shopping for makeup and seeing a YouTube influencer standing patiently beside your favorite makeup line and all you have to do is digitally engage with this person to see a tutorial with some of your favorite products. A digital how-to without having to access a second screen. Imagine a digital wardrobe overlay so you could virtually try on outfits while simply looking at yourself. Imagine a Tanqueray branded in-home tutorial about how to mix a Martini. All adding benefit, all in your MR experience, all ads.
In this world where ad-blockers and MR co-exist winning campaigns will be the big ideas. Great advertising is about big ideas, creativity, and compelling stories. That's the dream — that someone looks at your ad and chooses to engage with it. It will be easier, of course, to have real interaction with the adverts. These ads will in part resemble interacting with a chat bot or NPC on a video game and more advanced versions will be like interacting with Comedy Central star Jay Pharoah in a Pepsi Spire machine.
Instead of billboards in our physical sphere, we'll see billboards in our digital sphere — so much easier to change, update and segment. Engagement will be trackable, etc. Imagine a world where your lenses to your prescription glasses, your prescription contacts or a simple contact-like lens allowed a digital interface to be super-imposed on your physical world. When you looked around, you could receive information from your environment. You could interact with your environment like it was a physical interface. There are some years before we arrive at this mixed reality as reality, but we are headed there.
If you're looking for a glimpse at the possibilities, look no further than Florida based Magic Leap. That's what this is all about; the possibilities.

You've found a company that you would like to target for a job. You've done all of the necessary research, but you are missing an inside scoop. By using websites and social networking tools, you have managed to identify someone within the organization who may be able to give you that personal connection. However, since you don't know this person, you don't feel comfortable asking them for help. Here are some guidelines to assist you when contacting a stranger online:
Choose people based on their position. When you are choosing a person to contact, select someone at or near the level of position that you are targeting. If you contact somebody significantly above or below your level, they may not be able to assist you. Whereas, if you target somebody roughly at your level, they are more likely to be able to give you the information that you need.
Make sure that your spelling, grammar and profile are perfect. When you are contacting someone you don't know, you need to make sure that your spelling and grammar are impeccable. Keep in mind that this is the only way that they are able to evaluate your skills, and your level of professionalism. Strangers are much less forgiving of errors than people who know you. Also, when you contact a new person, there is a strong likelihood that they will check out your social networking profiles. Make sure that they are ready to display you in a positive light before you attempt to contact a new person online.
Be direct about what you want. When you are contacting a stranger to ask for assistance, you need to be clear about what you want them to do. It is annoying for you to contact someone with a vague request for help. The person may be more than willing to assist you, but not know what you want. It is your responsibility to do the work to determine how this person can help you.
It is better to ask for advice. Don't ask a stranger for a job. When you ask for a job, you essentially end the conversation, as they will usually respond by referring you to the human resources department. It is better to ask for information or suggestions. Most people are willing to offer their advice, and since they are working in the company, their advice is valuable to you.
Don't expect too much. Remember that this person doesn't owe you you anything. It would be perfectly understandable for them to say that they are not able to help you. Be thankful for any advice or assistance that you receive.
It can be intimidating to ask for help from somebody who you don't know. However, if you contact them in the right way, most people will be willing to assist you. Be respectful and appreciative, and sooner or later you will get results. Don't be afraid to reach out to people. That inside scoop could be the edge that you need to get your target position.

About Yoga
"It is very important to learn yoga philosophy; without philosophy yoga is not good, and yoga practice is the starting place to yoga philosophy. Mixing both is actually the best" K Pattabhi Jois
The classical teachings of Yoga go back more than 5000 years. Contrary to popular belief, Yoga is not a religion but rather a system of health giving practices for mind and body.
The word "Yoga" comes from the Sanskrit word "yuj" which means to unite or integrate, to join or yoke together, and it is about bringing the body and the mind into one harmonious experience. Yoga is a series of poses that help to build strength, flexibility and balance. It helps correct posture, alignment and the breathing techniques help calm the mind and connect the mind and body to create a happy heart and healthy overall body.
Many people think that yoga is just stretching. But while stretching is certainly involved, yoga is really about creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility. This is done through yoga poses or postures, which all have specific physical benefits, and breath control. These poses can be done dynamically in succession to help create heat in the body (this is known as Vinyasa style) or more slowly to help with alignment. (Known as Hatha or Iyengar) Both styles increase stamina and flexibility.
Yoga is possible for anybody who really wants it. Yoga is universal.... But don't approach yoga with a business mind looking for worldly gain.

Plato heads to state as region champs
With a pair of weekend victories over Young America, the Plato Blue Jays are headed to their fifth consecutive state tournament as the Region 7C champions.
Plato, which earlier cruised to a Crow River Valley League championship with a 17-1 league record, increased their winning streak to 18 games by finishing off a perfect 4-0 regional run.
"All season long, these guys have really worked hard," Blue Jays manager Adam Dammann said. "We had some things to work through earlier this season, but these guys really have confidence in each other."
After blasting Young America 10-0 in the winner's bracket final on Saturday, Aug. 11, Plato rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Cardinals 6-2 in the regional championship round on Sunday, Aug. 12 and claim the 7C title.
Sunday's game was the second regional matchup that saw Plato having to rally to claim victory. The Blue Jays also trailed Green Isle three times in the early innings before coming back to snatch a 5-4 win in the regional second round.
"These guys never give up. It's been like that all season," Dammann said. "These guys are really here for each other and believe that they are going to win."
Winning was nary in doubt in Saturday's matchup against Young America. Plato nearly finished the game before it started with six runs in the first inning before pushing its lead to 8-0 in the second inning. Two more runs in the fifth meant an early ending to the contest with the Blue Jays winning 10-0 in seven frames.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.89% is up 72.82 points, or 0.8 percent, to 8,592.20, in late action, an almost ninety-point swing from its low of the session.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The critique of this book is absolutely subjective, as is the case of most philosophical books. Siddhartha is a cleverly put fiction woven around the Buddhist ideology set somewhere in 6th century India during the life and times of Gautama Buddha. It is interesting that the name of protagonist "Siddhartha" it is the name that Buddha's parents gave him. I grew up listening to Buddha's story. However, the story in this book is that of a wealthy Brahmin man named Siddhartha and his quest for nirvana.
I was anticipating it to be more of a spiritual/ religious book but it did not disappoint me by being so. It falls in the genre of philosophy. The protagonist, a well-educated man, is not content with the knowledge in the Vedas of Hinduism and seeks a deeper understanding of what "consciousness" is. He often is unsatisfied with the knowledge he gathers and hence changes his ways. No kidding our boy Sid in today's times would have been a badass hippie somewhere in Bhutan. #InsideJoke
Another interesting thing in the book is its idea of parenting. Often parents assume that their experience in life will be easily incorporated into their child's life and they will save the child from hardship by just telling their stories. However, the child rebels... The books show that child cannot be helped. Hence must be allowed to learn from their own mistakes. This may cause distress to the parents but the sooner they understand the better, that the child will live their own life make all the classic mistakes in the book and learn by his/her own experience.
The Writing style in the book is metaphorical and somewhat poetic in the essence. Despite being translated from German, I didn't come across any feeling of missing out something because of translation. Perhaps, my Indian-ness makes it conceivable. I understand the terminology such as Brahman, Sansara, Samanas etc... I reckon it would not be clear to many people.
These days I have been reading the books that are regarded as "religious" in the most literal way in order to understand ideas and arguments from a religious perspective (you don't want to know how some texts had enraged me!) Siddhartha, on the other hand, is one of those books that carry the zest of spirituality leaving aside the religious "politics". Besides Buddhism is a wonderful lifestyle/culture/spirituality/religion perhaps one of the most serene ones.
I recommend this book to people interested in the philosophical read. I would say I could relate the conclusion of the book to be in line with the "Spacetime Loaf of bread" theory, sprinkled with the idea of the following quote by Carl Sagan.
"The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff."

text: Ged Quinn's "Cut", a floral still life on linen, garnered a crowd of admirers and for good reason. The vibrant red and shadowy browns positively glowed and were set off especially well with the illuminating white flowers. Taped onto the bouquet were portraits, sketches and ephemera that added dimension to the still life. How did these images relate to the artist's more traditional floral arrangement? The answer was not obvious and made the image an enigma. My curious self wants to learn more about the artist and his message. He has drawn me in with this beautiful piece.

<Schedule a Massage Session>
Orthopedic Massage
Orthopedic Massage is a type of massage therapy which is focused on treating painful conditions which affect the soft tissues of the body. The massage therapist may integrate a range of techniques to treat these conditions, ideally adapting their style for each client, as every person's body is slightly different. The therapist may release tight muscles, help to stretch shortened muscles and tendons, and decompress joints. The goal is to normalize the soft tissues of the body, both to treat specific conditions and to keep clients generally healthy and fit. Because this type of massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a treatment given with the understanding of how your sport applies a specific pattern of tension to your anatomy and physiology. The therapist uses a variety of techniques to help address this tension pattern with the intention of helping you gain a greater level of efficiency with the movement patterns utilized during your given sport. This greater efficiency can help prevent forced breaks from your training regimen.
Massage session lengths and prices:
25 Min-$45 55 Min-$85 85 Min-$120
Interested in receiving regular massage treatments at a discounted price?
Understanding how and why your body moves the way it does is one of the most vital aspects of being a healthy athlete. We place a high value on the quality of your movement pattern. This pattern of movement is going to determine how your body absorbs the stressors of your sport.
Mobility Assessment
During the assessment we are going to check the range of motion in each of your major joints , your Beighton Scale Score (which determines your genetic predisposition to joint hyper-mobility) and your general movement patterns and what your overall goals are with the program. All of the information gathered during the assessment will help us design an easy to follow self care program that will help you address the tension limiting your movement.

HBO Counters Michael Jackson Estate's $100 Million 'Leaving Neverland' Suit
View original "HBO Counters Michael Jackson Estate's $100 Million 'Leaving Neverland' Suit" - article by Variety.com
photo: 'Michael Jackson's estate has said HBO's broadcast of "Leaving Neverland" violated a 1992 agreement. In response, HBO cited the First Amendment and said the deal had expired.'| (Credits: Mark J. Terrill/Associated Press)
Two months after HBO broadcast "Leaving Neverland," which detailed allegations of child molestation against Michael Jackson, a legal dispute between the cable channel and the Jackson estate has intensified, with HBO firing back over claims that it violated an old contract by showing the documentary.
As HBO prepared to broadcast the two-part film in early March, the estate petitioned a California state court to compel an arbitration proceeding. The estate pointed to a 1992 deal between Mr. Jackson and HBO for a concert film from Mr. Jackson's tour, in which HBO agreed that it "shall not make any disparaging remarks" about him.
The estate argued that the claims of abuse in "Leaving Neverland" violated that nondisparagement clause, and said it would seek $100 million in damages.
The legal questions involved may be esoteric, but they have drawn fiery comments from both sides. The dispute also highlights the film's potential to affect the estate's lucrative business selling music and drawing stage audiences in Las Vegas and, soon, on Broadway.
In a response filed in federal court on Thursday, lawyers for HBO called the estate's petition a "poorly disguised and legally barred posthumous defamation claim." They added that the film was protected by the First Amendment and that the 1992 contract had long since expired.
HBO's lawyers, Daniel M. Petrocelli and Theodore J. Boutrous Jr., added that the estate's suit "appears to be part of a transparent effort to bolster their publicity campaign against the documentary." They asked the judge, George H. Wu of United States District Court in Los Angeles, to deny the request for arbitration.
The Jackson estate has complained vociferously that it was given no opportunity to respond to the film's accusations, and sounded that note again on Friday. "HBO's opposition clearly shows that they are afraid to have this matter adjudicated because it will expose the falsity of the documentary," Bryan J. Freedman, a lawyer for the estate, said in a statement.
The estate was hundreds of millions of dollars in debt at the time of Mr. Jackson's death in 2009. Since then, it has transformed itself into a billion-dollar business, through the sales of Mr. Jackson's stakes in valuable song catalogs, as well as through a string of commercial deals, including a musical on Broadway, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," expected next year.
That musical has already drawn questions about how its esteemed creative team, the playwright Lynn Nottage and the choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, would deal with allegations of abuse involving Mr. Jackson. The issue was made murkier when the two told The New York Times last month that the two accusers in the film, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, "came across as very believable," as Ms. Nottage put it. Both she and Mr. Wheeldon said they did not see themselves as "judge and jury," about Mr. Jackson.
Last month, John Branca, a longtime lawyer for Mr. Jackson who is one of the executors of the estate, said at a panel discussion at Harvard Law School that "Leaving Neverland" had had a financial impact on the estate's business. He said the estate was considering legal action against Dan Reed, the director of the film, but gave no details about the legal grounds for such a suit; a dead person, for example, cannot be defamed under the law.
"Because the laws of defamation are what they are, there is nothing we can do or say," Mr. Branca was quoted as saying. "I'm going to suggest the law should be changed to protect the deceased at least for a period of time."
A version of this article appears in print on May 3, 2019, on Page B6 of the New York edition with the headline: HBO Argues With Estate Of Jackson Over Film.

When it comes to organizing a flower delivery online, we've all heard the horror stories – like flowers showing up dead on arrival or not even showing up at all. Of course, these are worst-case scenarios, but it's always good to be certain the flowers you're ordering are coming from a trustworthy place.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind to ensure the flowers you order arrive on-time and beautiful for your special someone!
1. Check Customer Service Options
Make sure that the website you order flowers from has their contact information public and readily available just in case something should go wrong.
At Zinnia, we're available 24/7 to answer any questions and we send you a confirmation email to keep you updated on the status of your flower delivery. This way, you can make sure the flowers you ordered are delivered on time and to the right place or person!
2. Check the Prices
With traditional services, sending flowers can be pricey. Therefore, most people reserve purchasing a bouquet of flowers for a few special occasions each year.
However, with Zinnia, we've cut out all of the unnecessary costs so you can send beautiful blooms from local florists more often without breaking the bank.
3. Check How the Flowers Will Arrive
It's common for flowers stems to arrive in a nice wrapping. The problem is, if you're sending flowers to an office, a vase might not be readily available to keep the flowers fresh.
With Zinnia, every bouquet comes with Arrival Alive to ensure the flowers you're sending remain lively throughout the day until they can be put into a vase.
4. Check the Types of Flowers Available
There are many "flower stereotypes" out there. For example, roses are the only flowers people love to receive on Valentine's Day. However, this couldn't be further from the truth! Every flower has a special meaning and sending someone flowers can be even more meaningful if you choose an arrangement that consists of your recipient's favorite flowers, or flowers that are in season.
Typically, flowers that are in season tend to be cheaper and will arrive in better condition. At Zinnia, we curate a handful of unique arrangements that rotate throughout the season so you can be sure you're getting the freshest flowers available at affordable prices.
5. Check Delivery Options
Many flower delivery websites advertise same-day delivery or the option to order flowers in advance. Especially around holidays like Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, selecting a flower delivery service that allows you to plan ahead and schedule in advance is a good way to go. Things can get hectic for florists around major holidays and many will offer free or discounted prices if you complete your order ahead of time.
With Zinnia, you can select the date you want to send flowers in advance and we'll have your bouquet ready to go on that day. However, we won't penalize you for any last-minute decisions either. Our speedy delivery will have your recipient thinking you placed your order weeks in advance.
Keep these tips in mind and scheduling your next flower delivery online will be a breeze! Especially with Zinnia! 😉 Also visit www.omaha-florist.com

Celebrity Big Brother star Alicia Douvall was rushed to hospital this weekend after falling down the stairs in a horrifying accident.
The plastic surgery addict, who claims to have bedded Simon Cowell 11 times in one night, was found by her daughter Georgia, 22, after tripping over a children's toy and falling down her stairs at home.
The incident, which happened on Friday night, saw Alicia rushed to hospital where she's been recuperating.
A source tells Mirror Online: "She is still in hospital and is believed to have had an operation, but is now stable."
The glamour model tweeted a picture of herself in her hospital bed on Saturday evening, which showed her hooked up to a drip of some kind and covered up with a green blanket.
"First sunny day and I have been here!" she captioned the concerning snap.
About an hour later, Alicia appeared to have gone into a maudlin mood as she told her followers it was time to make changes.
"Looks like I am about to dramatically change my life," she wrote.
Mirror Online has contacted Alicia's rep for comment.
It came after the model - who has spent over £1million on surgery and been under the knife some 350 different times - told Katie Price that she needed to give up the plastic procedures.
"I became addicted to surgery from a young age, so it's hard to watch Katie going through the same thing," she told Closer magazine.
"For me, going under the knife was my way of gaining control after a bad upbringing and the madness of the modelling world. And I believe Katie also uses it as a coping mechanism for her chaotic lifestyle.
"Just because surgery addiction isn't as visible as alcoholism or drugs, it doesn't mean that it's any less of a struggle."
Alicia herself gave up plastic surgery after she nearly died on the operating table in 2016, which would have left her two girls Georgia and Papaya without a mother.
"Katie needs to realise that plastic surgery isn't her friend," she went on.
"She's 39 years old, has five children and should understand that she's never going to be 20 again. She needs to focus on who she is now."
Alicia has struggled not to pass on her crippling body dysmorphia to her actress daughter, who would restrict her food intake and work out for up to four hours a day.
"I had lots of work done in my 20s because I never thought about what the consequences would be as I got older," Alicia continued.
"I really regret it now and I often sit and dream about what I'd look like if I'd never had any surgery when I was a silly and gullible young girl.
"We were both too young to have surgery and that's why we've had problems. Katie needs to stop, like I did, before she makes things any worse. It's possible to cover-up a botched boob job but it's impossible to hide if facial surgery goes wrong."

Two licensed drugs have been shown to halt brain degeneration in mice, raising the prospect of a rapid acceleration in the search for a medicine to beat Alzheimer's disease.
The results, presented on Tuesday at the Alzheimer's Society annual research conference in Manchester, have been hailed as "hugely promising" because they involve medicines that are already known to be safe and well-tolerated in people – potentially cutting years from the timeline for drugs to reach patients.
Speaking ahead of her presentation, Giovanna Mallucci, professor of clinical neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, said: "It's really exciting. They're licensed drugs. This means you'd do a straightforward basic clinical trial on a small group of patients because these are not new compounds, they're known drugs."
The scientists have chosen not to name the two drugs, which are currently used for conditions unrelated to dementia, to avoid the possibility of patients seeking to use them ahead of any clinical trial to prove their efficacy.
The findings build on a landmark study two years ago, showing that brain cell death could be halted in mice by switching off a faulty signal in the brain that stops new proteins being produced.
However, the breakthrough relied on a compound that had severe physical side-effects including weight loss and diabetes, making it unsuitable for use in humans. The two drugs were identified after Mallucci's team screened hundreds of licensed compounds in search for something safe that had the same protective effects on the brain.
Clare Walton, research manager at the Alzheimer's Society, said: "The new results are hugely promising because the drugs are already given to people and we know they're safe."
Before a trial, though, the scientists said that a brain imaging study would be crucial to confirm that the same faulty signal that the drugs target in mice is responsible for neurodegeneration and the devastating memory loss it causes in Alzheimer's.
"There is lots of evidence that points to the pathway being involved, but we need to do special scanning to show that what's happening to the mice is happening to humans," said Mallucci. "The big, burning question is what is the relevance for human disease."
If scanning experiments take place quickly, and they confirm a link, clinical trials of the medicines could begin within a couple of years, she added.
The approach marks a clear shift away from previous failed attempts to cure Alzheimer's by targeting the deposits of misshapen, sticky proteins, known as plaques, that are the most visible hallmarks of the disease in the brains of patients.
"There have been a lot of drug failures in the past decade of things that just targeted the plaques," said Walton. "Some of the drugs cleared away the plaques but didn't help treat the disease."
The latest research suggests that the build-up of abnormal amyloid proteins seen in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and CJD are simply a visible symptom of neurodegeneration, but not the root cause.
Instead, Prof Mallucci argues, the damage really occurs when a natural defence mechanism in the brain responds to the accumulation of plaques by switching off the production of all new proteins, wrecking the brain's ability to carry out essential repairs.
The drugs work by inhibiting an enzyme, called Perk, that activates the defence mechanism. In mice with prion disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that scientists use as a model for dementia in mice, both treatments were shown to restore protein production, stop brain cells from dying off and prevent memory loss.
There is already evidence that the Perk mechanism plays a role in Alzheimer's, as people with the disease are known to have unusually high levels of the enzyme in their brains, but scientists need to be confident that this is causing neurons to die rather than just being a side effect.
Carol Colton, a professor of neurology at Duke University in North Carolina, said the results were "exciting", but added that critical questions remained about whether switching off a natural defence mechanism might have other unforeseen downsides in the brain.
"Time will tell," she said. "It would be a great thing if possible and new drugs are badly needed. Kudos to the authors and the Alzheimer's Society for moving this concept along."
It is estimated at about 820,000 people in the UK have dementia. Scientists estimate that delaying the onset of Alzheimer's by five years would halve the number of people who die with the disease.
"I have people in my clinics who come in with quality of life and are still able to converse, but over time they become dependent, unable to enjoy the company of their lifetime partners and that's heartbreaking," said Mallucci.
"Even delaying progress of Alzheimer's by 10 years would have a massive effect. You have to re-adjust and understand that slowing Alzheimer's would change the disease into something completely different and infinitely more acceptable to society."

Royal Family KIDS Camp James River
Royal Family KIDS Camp James River is a free one-week resident summer camp for foster children ages 6-11 in central and northeast South Dakota serving the regions of Huron, Brookings, Aberdeen, and Watertown Department of Social Services. Our camp is part of a growing network of camps nationwide. The mission of camp is to create life-changing moments for children of abuse so they can once again dream, believe and find new hope for their future. RFKC extends love and care from adults modeling a non-violent, positive way of life as an alternative to many of the negative, abusive situations which children of abuse and neglect have faced. For one week, instead of operating in survival mode, these kids can just be kids. There is no cost to the child, the foster care family or the State of South Dakota. The camping experience is geared for success, recognizing the needs of foster children. Each child is paired with an adult counselor, and there is a strict ratio of one adult counselor to every two campers. RFKC James River is preparing for its fourth year of camp in 2019 and hopes to serve 50 children.

Shahid Afridi, the Pakistan captain, has said called on the IPL to include Pakistan players with relations between the two countries steadily improving. Pakistan played India in the World Cup semi-final in Mohali, a game watched by Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf Gilani on the invitation of his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh, who was also present.
"It is high time the Pakistani cricketers also get a place in the IPL. For three seasons, including the current one, we haven't been a part of the IPL. We have no problems playing in India as we have just played a World Cup semi-final there," Afridi told PTI.
Players from Pakistan featured in the inaugural version of the IPL but, following the Mumbai terrorist attack in November 2008 and its diplomatic fallout, they weren't picked by any of the franchises for the subsequent two editions, and will also not be part of the tournament that starts on Friday.
"I am not saying I want to play the IPL but it could be a great platform for youngsters. They could make a mark for themselves," Afridi said.
Afridi added the inclusion of Pakistan players in the IPL was an opportunity for both countries to improve relations. "Our PM responded positively to that invitation. Now IPL can be a platform to further ease the tension," he said. "We should play more against each other. This will not only ease the pressure but will also reduce the unwanted media hype surrounded with Indo-Pak matches."

text: krow36 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2018 Vanguard just announced that all their Target Retirement funds' expense ratio as of 2019 will drop to 0.09% due using Institutional rather than Investor class! Hooray! This was on ScottyD's website. http://teachersadvocate.blogspot.com I agree with Tony that a target retirement fund is all you need to get maximum diversification of all US and International stocks and bonds. And it rebalances for you when there is changes within the fund. It really makes it easy once you've picked your stock/bond ratio, which you can use to pick the fund (rather than using your retirement date to pick the fund). Because the 403b (and 457 and IRA) are tax advantaged, there is no tax consequence to making changes in the future. If you later decide that you are more conservative, you can change funds to reflect that change. Or if you decide to lower fees a bit and go with the 3 funds that Tony mentioned, you can do that, no problem. Kgreen4me, do you have an IRA, either traditional or Roth, and if so, what company is it with? Do you any 403b accounts? If so are they with your current district or a previous one? If you give us this information, it will help us make suggestions. Do you have an idea of about how much you can contribute to a 403b and/or a 457? Because you are over 50, you can contribute an additional "catchup" of $6000 to the basic $18,500 (for 2018—I'm not sure if it's the same for 2019, or going up to $19,000).

Beat FaT M1 by a margin of 9 seconds
DidYouKnowITrialled Simpson reports:
Before that start of the race I said I thought we were probably the fastest crew on paper as individual rowers. Whether the 4 of us combined into a 4- after not a great deal of training would be faster than the FaT crew we were chasing, who had trained a lot more together remained to be seen. Race day marked our 4th outing as a crew but by now we had thankfully dusted off most of the cobwebs. After numerous failed attempts of getting round corners my main personal aim was simply to keep the boat out of the bank. Off the start we took it off reasonably controlled, with Riccardo signalling a rhythm call as we approached the motorway bridge. Down first post reach we rated reasonably well and hit low 1:40 splits. Coming up to first post we took a half ok line round thanks to bowside easing off to help me bring it round. Then once Gripper directed us straight we took the pace up again going into grassy. Once round grassy we reset once in a straight line and got the split down to the low 1:40s again. Gripper signalled that we were about 3 lengths away from them at this stage, meaning we probably made most of our gains on them at the start and round the first corners. Once past ditton and into the reach we thought it wasn't long left... turns out we were very wrong. Down the reach we were pretty much just hanging on Riccardo apparently reading a pretty poor 2:02 split at this point. Thankfully we held on long enough to beat FaT past the finish line.

SXSWedu opened up Panel Picker 2020 and my gears have been turning to submit a session. Looking ahead to conferences got me thinking about presentations, both at conferences and pitches to potential clients. Over the past couple of years I've done quite a bit of both, traveling to and presenting at various conferences as a way of building social proof and pitching schools and cultural centers to get my business off the ground. One piece of advice: Know what your audience is going to ask before they ask it.
You don't have to be clairvoyant, (though that certainly wouldn't hurt!) you just have to be self-reflective and critical enough to analyze your previous work. For example, after doing a few conference presentations I noticed the same questions popping up again and again in the Q&As. People would ask me how I work with non-verbal students. I'd explain the ways I make the workshops adaptable and inclusive through sensory activities, word walls, close coordination with speech therapists, and the like. Eventually, I learned to anticipate the question.
With this knowledge I could do two things: build it into my presentation or purposefully leave it out. There's an argument for both and for me it really depends on who my audience is going to be. I'll give reasoning for both strategies in the case of the non-verbal student question.
Building it into the presentation gives me the opportunity to better control the conversation. Someone might ask the question about a specific student they have and want the kind of answer that's better handled one on one or they might use wording I don't feel comfortable with necessitating that I switch up their language when I reiterate the question. Building it into a presentation ensures that the language surrounding non-verbal students is in my own words and that the ideas I share connect to the full range of my audience. It also gives me the chance to say something like, " If you're interested in a specific student or classroom, you can feel free to email me and we can talk about how I can best help and consult," which both avoids questions that can derail the group and sets up new client opportunities.
That said, If I'm giving a broad, quick overview of my workshops at an education conference like SXSWedu as opposed to specialized conference, like the Council for Exceptional Children, diving too much into a specific aspect or student profile could very well interrupt the flow and my greater goal of introducing my theories and curriculum.
In these situations I might not address my work with non-verbal students in detail because there's so much content to cover. In doing so though, I know in the back of my mind that the question will come up during the Q&A. It's a bit like a magic act, pretending to pull a card out of an audience member's ear when it's been up your sleeve the whole time. A mark of a good presenter is someone who is able to give clear, informed answers to whatever questions pop-up. It showcases a depth of knowledge and a calmness under pressure. Once again, like magic, there's a bit of an illusion to it (you can't substitute knowledge or experience, got to have that) because you can be prepared for the question and have an answer ready.
This certainly isn't to say there won't be new questions that throw you off guard or bring you pause, just that there are some you can predict, that you'll be able to prepare for, answer with poise, and these moments of confidence will make lasting impressions that on your audience.
What makes this skill so important in presenting in the education sector especially is that people always want to have best practice in mind. Teachers and administrators want strategies that will effectively reach all their students. Answering confidently proves that this is a fully formed curriculum, ed-tech app, or product that you've thoroughly considered the insides and outs of.

Bolivian-born master Andean flutist and guitarist Oscar Reynolds leads Karumanta, whose self-composed repertoire and top-notch performance are an eclectic exploration of Quechua, Aymara, and African music of Bolivia laced with flamenco, Brazilian bossanova, funk, and jazz. Perhaps best known for playing the Andean panpipes and guitar simultaneously, Oscar has received lifetime honors from the Bolivian government, California Senate and legislature, and the Arts & Culture Commission of Contra Costa County for his musical achievements and advocacy of Bolivian music throughout the world. Joining Oscar is Colombian bassist Carlos Ramirez, one of the Bay Area's most versatile bass players, and Bolivian-American percussionist Huascar Reynolds, whose polyphonic rhythms on the cajon (box drum) complete the sound.

In the last 20 years, we have learned that planets orbit most of the stars in our galaxy. Now that we have a better understanding of planet populations, the field is moving from detecting exoplanets to characterizing them. The direct imaging technique is uniquely capable of characterizing cold planets, long-period planets, and ultimately, habitable planets around Sun-like stars. I will describe how we image exoplanets, why we image exoplanets, and where the field is heading as we develop technologies that will soon be capable of detecting bio-signatures in the atmospheres of habitable planets.
Andy Skemer is an Assistant Professor and an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow in the UC Santa Cruz Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics. He is leading the development of a new exoplanet imaging spectrograph for the W. M. Keck Observatory, and he is co-lead on a community effort to take the first images of exoplanets with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

Wedding Venue: Picking your Atmosphere
You've picked a date
You've looked at how to budget for the big event
Where will this party happen?
Ceremony Location;
Are you religious, or have family members that are? This could play a part in deciding on having your ceremony in a separate location - ie. a Church.
There are sometimes time restrictions with having a ceremony in a Church, so consider this and speak with your parish or priest about the details.
Do you want an outdoor location for your ceremony? If you want something in a park or field - there are still things to consider like; permits, someone to marry you, toilets, parking, just to name a few...
Reception Location;
Think about what time of day you might want your reception to happen. Will it be a party that goes into the wee hours, or perhaps a casual brunch/lunch or cocktail vibe. Once you have considered the atmosphere you would like it will help narrow down a more specific look, vibe or atmosphere you will be looking for. For example if you are thinking a more intimate brunch for your nearest and dearest - a restaurant might be the perfect fit. Or perhaps the look and atmosphere is something you really want to create for your guests - so a gallery or event space is more up your alley.
Will you need accommodations for people that are traveling to get to you? If its a more remote location, you might want to consider how many people will want to stay the night somewhere vs. driving home the same day/night. This doesn't really factor in if you are choosing a resort style venue - as rooms should be readily available to you and your guests for the date of your event!
Or Both;
There are certainly a lot of Venues that will offer both a place for the ceremony and the reception, which might make things easier! These are also typically the venues that will also include all kinds of things like rentals, linens, staffing, a complete bar and caterer etc. All really good considerations, as you will most likely end up spending more if you have to book all these separate pieces individually and have to organize it all to happen for one day!
Our Suggestions;
1. Pick your location
2. Make an accurate guess of your guest list
3. Decide Sit-down or Cocktail/Party Reception
4. Narrow down your Venue choices by size - now that you have a guest list
5. Choose 3 Venues you like and go visit them!
6. Ask Questions! What do they include? What's already on-site? Do they have examples of the set-up you would be having?
7. Be ready to decide quickly!
Once you have your Venue location and the date confirmed - you can start narrowing down all the other details that follow! Are you getting excited yet?
