Catherynne M. Valente is the New York Times bestselling author of over two dozen works of fiction and poetry, including Palimpsest, the Orphan's Tales series, Deathless and the crowdfunded phenomenon The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. She is the winner of the Andre Norton, Tiptree, Mythopoeic, Rhysling, Lambda, Locus and Hugo awards. She has been a finalist for the Nebula and World Fantasy Awards. She lives on an island off the coast of Maine with a small but growing menagerie of beasts, some of which are human.
Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) is perhaps most famous for writing The Railway Children and Five Children and It, but she was extremely prolific and wrote or collaborated on more than sixty children's books. Nesbit is today recognised as one of the most influential and innovative children's writers that ever lived, and is cited as an inspiration by many contemporary authors, including J. K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, Jacqueline Wilson, Kate Saunders and Frank Cottrell-Boyce. Even C. S. Lewis acknowledged the debt his Narnia series owed to her work - particularly the Bastable and Psammead trilogies.
Elizabeth Taylor (1912-1975) is increasingly recognised as one of the best British writers of the twentieth century. She wrote her first book, At Mrs Lippincote's, during the war while her husband was in the Royal Air Force, and this was followed by eleven further novels and a children's book, Mossy Trotter. Her acclaimed short stories appeared in publications including Vogue, the New Yorker and Harper's Bazaar.
Frances Hodgson Burnett was born in Manchester, England, in 1849 but moved to America in 1865 after her father died and her family fell on hard times. There she began writing stories to earn money and soon became a successful novelist, playwright, and children's author. She wrote the classic novels, Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess and The Secret Garden.
Francesca Lia Block is the bestselling author of more than twenty-five books of stories, nonfiction, and fiction, including the Weetzie Bat books, her series of magical-realism novels. She has received the Spectrum Award, the Phoenix Award, the ALA Rainbow Award, and the 2005 Margaret A. Edwards Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as other citations from the American Library Association, the New York Times Book Review, and Publisher's Weekly.
Twice shortlisted for the Carnegie prize, world-travelling Garry Kilworth has written a number of acclaimed and much-loved stories for children.
Helen Dardik is a professional illustrator and a surface pattern designer based in Ottowa, Ontario. Born by the Black Sea, she lived in Siberia for a time and then moved to Israel, where she studied art and design. She later got a graphic design degree and found work as a designer and illustrator in Canada.
Honest Lee is a liar! You can't trust a thing he writes. He insists that his stories are true. And they're totally not! Then again, I could be Honest Lee, which would mean I'm lying and my stories are true. What's the truth? I have no idea. Honestly.
L. M. Montgomery was born in 1874 on Prince Edward Island, Canada, where she spent her childhood living with her grandparents in an old farmhouse. A prolific writer, she published many short stories, poems and novels, many of which were inspired by the years she spent on the beautiful Prince Edward Island. Anne of Green Gables and its sequels have always been amongst the most popular of children's classics. Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942 and was buried on her beloved island.
Lindsey Becker writes middle grade fiction about ghosts, monsters, mythical beasts, and daring children who love adventure and magic. The Star Thief is her debut novel, and she invites you to visit her online at literarylilycate.blogspot.com or @lcatebecker. She lives in Wisconsin.
Louisa May Alcott was born in Pennsylvania in 1832. Like the character of Jo March in Little Women, young Louisa didn't conform to the restrictions placed on girls of the period: 'No boy could be my friend till I had beaten him in a race,' she claimed, 'and no girl if she refused to climb trees, leap fences.' And, also like Jo, she was highly imaginative and writing was an early passion.As her family was often in financial difficulty, Louisa worked from a young age to support her family, taking any position available: a governess, domestic servant, seamstress and teacher were among her jobs. She also wrote poetry and short stories for popular magazines, and melodramatic novels under a pseudonym. When the American Civil War began, Louisa, who fervently opposed slavery, lamented that women weren't able to fight, and volunteered as a nurse at the Union Hospital in Georgetown, Washington. Her nursing career was brief as she contracted typhoid, but she wrote Hospital Sketches, a truthful and poignant account based on letters she wrote home to her family in Concord, and it was published to great acclaim.In 1868 Louisa was asked by her publisher to write 'a girls' story'. This resulted in Little Women, which is largely based on the experiences of the author and her three sisters. It was a phenomenal success. In a time when children's books were morality tales featuring idealised, two-dimensional protagonists, Little Women was revolutionary, peopled as it was by relatable, flawed, fully realised characters. Its success guaranteed financial stability for Louisa, who continued the March family's story in Good Wives, Little Men and Jo's Boys. Louisa never married, concluding that 'liberty is a better husband than love.' She died in 1888 and is buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord.
Matt Christopher is the beloved and bestselling name behind more than 100 sports-themed books for young readers.
Matthew J. Gilbert is one of many Matthew Gilberts. Seriously. There's like a trillion of them. This particular Matthew Gilbert writes stories and has a nearly perfect mustache. When he's not writing about Classroom 13, he's watching monster movies, eating tacos, and singing made-up songs about his cats.
Max Brunner began his professional career as lead writer for David World's Press's popular web comic, Barbiespawn. He's a hardcore comic book nerd and a debut author. Max lives in Cypress, California.
Michael Powell is the author of numerous naughty, disgusting yet strangely educational children's books. He lives in Somerset.Trevor Dunton is still the same as was across the page, but will soon also be famed as the illustrator for the bestselling Joke Shop.
Nina Bawden (1925-2012) was one of Britain's best-loved writers for both adults and children. Several of her children's books - Carrie's War, a Phoenix Award winner;The Peppermint Pig, which won the Guardian Fiction Award; and Keeping Henry - have become contemporary classics. She wrote over forty novels, slightly more than half of which are for adults, and she was shortlisted for the 1987 Man Booker Prize for Circles of Deceit. She received the prestigious S T Dupont Golden Pen Award for a lifetime's contribution to literature in 2004, and in 2010 The Birds on the Trees was shortlisted for the Lost Booker of 1970.
Peter Brown is the author and illustrator of many bestselling children's books, including Children Make Terrible Pets and The Curious Garden.

text: After a slow transition since New Year's, Zuzu is fully weaned. I nursed her for the last time Thursday night, it was pretty rough on her Friday morning, but she fell asleep peacefully in my arms last night without once "asking" to nurse. We've had to delegate bed time to Eric lately and I've had to leave the room in order for her to stay calm as she falls asleep. It was time, and I was ready. I breastfed for just under 15 months- compared to nine-ish months with Katie. Not bad.

I have been without internet, so please excuse me for not updating.
My first week:
- I'm 17 again, and have just moved out.
- I ate pizza on the floor. Twice.
- I got groceries from a place called "Fortinos".
- My shower is angled because I'm in the attic, so I have to kink my neck to wash my hair.
- My first few days were spent sleeping on a leaky air mattress. I woke in a position where my torso was flat on hardwood but my legs and head were oh-so-slightly elevated. It's pretty awesome to wake up like that.
- Ontario shuts down on STATs, so I couldn't get a new air mattress.
- I finally got a new air mattress, and a weird $10 cup chair from Wal-Mart.
- I have no internet, so I watch DVDs (do you remember those?) like The Notebook and The Sound of Music because I haven't bought DVDs since first year of college. I do this in my cup chair.
- I wish I had Netflix. And a couch.
- When I finally got to Ikea, I ended up being the last person in the store on a Thursday night.
- On my way home from Ikea, I drove in exactly 4 circles. Instead of a 15 minute jaunt from Ikea it was an hour.
- At 10:45pm, I lugged 100 lb bed frame (and all my other purchases) in the dark, and up 3 flights of sketchy stairs to my apartment.
- Ya, that was stupid.
- Ontario has no mountains, so I get lost. A lot. But the skies sure are pretty sometimes.
Oh, I also started midwifery school.
Is this my life????

The extent of your knowledge seems to fall short in nearly every direction.
An amazing surgeon – yes, but an amazing politician? Economist? Negotiator? Human being? Not so much.
Pulling the good ol' George W. Bush, "and-to-the-C-students" stunt, you tried to make the point that the dumbest kid in the room may be going the farthest. And how did you go about doing this?
By asking a class of fifth-grade students to point out the worst student in a room of 500 people.
Shockingly, and sadly, none of the students are reported to have pointed back at you.
Around a half a dozen, though, did point to one of their peers. And you were gracious enough to give him a talking to.
"You're going to be a neurosurgeon, okay?"
What kind, inspirational words to the child expressively falling apart due to assumed embarrassment and disappointment.
Though you may have scared him when giving him so much to live up to, the pride he must feel probably made it worthwhile. Hopefully, after this kid becomes a neurosurgeon just like his hero, he'll at least know when to stop. It seems like that's about where you lost it.
Yours truly,
A speechless, future political science student

Rochester, Kent (PRWEB UK) 4 February 2013
Just three short years ago Heru Asesimba and Natalie Wedderburn started Easy Nuh Caribbean Cuisine a Catering Company with the hopes of scraping out a living doing what they love: cooking and teaching others about Caribbean cuisine. Word quickly spread about their market stall in Kent and a grassroots following quickly emerged. After winning national entrepreneurial and cooking awards the duo is set to release their debut e-cookbook "Bare Recipes made Easy Nuh."
"Our cookbook was compiled after speaking with over 1000 Caribbean food enthusiasts to find out what recipes they loved, what types of Caribbean cuisine they wanted to learn how to cook and much more. It contains a perfect blend of the most popular meat dishes, less well known vegan dishes and even secret family recipes laid out and explained in easy to understand terms" said Easy Nuh co-founder and co-author Heru Asesimba.
Caribbean cuisine has a way of brining people together. Asesimba and Wedderburn have captured that special community dynamic in their book by offering readers direct access in an exclusive online group featuring live monthly Q&A sessions, video tutorials and exclusive "secret recipes."
"Bare Recipes made Easy Nuh" was written for the novice Caribbean cook with no experience as well as individuals who have been cooking authentic Caribbean dishes for years. The book also contains shopping lists and commonly used ingredients deemed essential to have in the cupboards and spice racks.
When asked about the cookbook, Glenice Lake of London stated, "In the words of my children, 'OMDZ' (Oh My Days)! It's absolutely brilliant, one of the best cookery books I've come across. The definitions with pictures are a very nice touch."
"Bare Recipes made Easy Nuh" comes in three different electronic versions available for instant download through Amazon.com and easynuh.com. The three versions include the full ebook with over 20 recipes, fan Q&A section and links to the Easy Nuh community, the Easy Nuh Lite edition and the Easy Nuh Vegan edition.
To download a copy of "Bare Recipes made Easy Nuh" visit http://easynuh.com/barerecipes now.
The Lite Edition will be available on Amazon completely free for 48hrs from February 1st 2013.

Late Winter, in the Year of the Forks 405
A pale blue fog drifts through the rough halls of Zaskidet, slipping into every corner and crack. The gibbering screams of an insane Dwarf echoes through the corridors and deserted rooms, the howling of great, slavering beasts above and below harmonizing to strike a chord of madness. The Pit, entrance to the once-hopeful fortress of Crystaltalons is blocked, walled by hasty constructions. Huddled in the cold, the last survivors of the Cult of Forks surround their life-giving Bromgev. Never again shall they doubt.
Never again shall they sin.
They have been tested by God. Those found wanting met their end by savage claw or maddening thirst. The Holy Still churns Dwarven Ale, distributing its life-saving spirits to the weeping survivors. Still cold, still hungry, now they have hope. God-of-Forks has tested them, and they have lived.
The False Prophet – the child Calvin Thompson – did not. The Yeti slew the young Dwarf, and Calvin's screams were heard throughout the fortress. Some weak hearts were saddened by the death of the child, but most were overjoyed. No longer would they hear the blasphemies of this maybe-prophet.
Death Count: 13
Work began in the smelters and forges. Samantha Cote, Zaskidet's undertrained metalworker, forged arms and armour from iron. What remained of the Feral Walls – Nelson Lovestrom and Austin Jones – were geared in true weapons. No more picks and fists, but swords. Bruised, bloody and broken, they took Cote's fresh-forged weapons, donned her fresh-forged armour. No more would Zaskidet fear the Yeti, or the Spider. The Scintillating Ash would be cleansed by the wrath of God.
Suddenly, the wails above went silent – the Yeti, ending its infernal rage. The Dwarves of Zaskidet dared a peek above the Pit.
A caravan of Dwarven traders! What fools – what lovely, blasted, welcome fools – came this far north to make trade with a poor outpost? God truly smiled on the Dwarves of the Cult. The blocking wall was torn from its foundations and cast aside, and the last of the Cult stepped forward into the light. Some covered their eyes. Others, so unused to fresh air and wind, curled into balls, vomiting their last meal, weeping at their freedom. The foreign van looked upon thirteen emaciated, sickly dwarves, bloodied and bruised all, and whispered to each other.
What is this place?
They knew not the glories they passed – had not the words to express what they saw. Zaskidet sat outside the circle of the known. What happened in the fortress of Crystaltalons was not to be understood by those who did not share in the experience. It could not be known. The Cult's suffering was endless, beyond comprehension. It transcended family bonds the way only plague and famine can – in the way of battered souls holding one another for comfort. They would never again be of the world about them. They forever stood apart.
In silence they watched the caravaners approached. Finally, the Bromgev approached them, bid them empty their wagons and spread their wares. The Cult had little to trade but the clothes of the dead, and what few gems had been smoothed by Justin Currie before his death. Hopefully, it would be enough.
Negotiations commenced. The visitors were immediately frowning as piles of clothes were thrown at their feet, stinking, torn and bloodied. Of the many hundreds of articles of clothing so unceremoniously dumped, a few caught the eye. A bauble here, a silken shirt there. Then the gems were brought forth, and these sparked real interest. A few copper weapons, made to train Blacksmith Cote in her metalworking, fetched fair prices. Barrels were bought, along with every log these Dwarves brought with them. Zaskidet shall suffer no more.
As Lara Foley and the Dwarven merchant speak, a great howl rose on the wind. The Yeti returned to wreak its terrible wrath on the Dwarves. The merchant guards, alongside Nelson and Austin, charged the beast. Though armed now with hammers and swords and decked in iron armour, the Feral Walls were quickly shown what true warriors could do – the Hammerdwarves of Kulet Am lay the beast low. The terror it eked into the hearts of the Cult at last can be staunched.
Austin, however, did manage one amazing feat. Before the Yeti died, it knocked the poor Dwarf from his feet. Austin, his grip already impaired due to earlier injury, lost hold of his sword. But the Dwarves of Zaskidet are hard, even if they are untrained. And Austin had been with the Cult since its beginning; he would not back down. Not after the horrors of the past month. Blind with his inestimable hate, he leapt to his feet and tore into the beast with his teeth, piercing skin and even snapping the bones of the Yeti's left hand.
To close out the year, another herd of camel wandered between the glaciers of the Scintillating Ash. The Dwarves of the Cult looked over these strange animals with undisguised hunger, tired of meal after meal of wolf meat.
And finally, finally, the weather cleared. The seven-month blizzard came to an end.
Progress is slow.

Day 22 – Macy and Bonnie's Day of Fun…Part 3
Wrapping up our photo walk day, we walked from Krohn Conservatory to the big overlook at Eden Park. After enjoying our shaved ice, which we desperately needed after walking up the hill in that heat, Macy played on the playground for a little bit. Then we headed over and took some photos of the view of the Ohio River. I also did a copycat idea from Mindy. When she and Mama Willa were here for the Butterfly Show earlier this summer, she asked Macy to pose by the water so she could take a photo of her and her reflection. I haven't seen how Mindy's came out, but I am very pleased with the ones I took. 🙂 Thanks for the idea Min!
Lastly, I had to include this awesome duck. I swear, the more photos I took of him, the closer to me he got. He was swimming around and splashing the water to get my attention. It was too funny!

Most home owners do not bother about where the waste from their properties goes to. And why should they? In metropolitans all the waste is usually treated at a plant. In the case of houses or businesses which do not have their waste lines connected to a large sewer, installing a septic tank is the only option. This sewage treatment system contains bacteria which disintegrates the waste from your house or office. It does the same work as that of a large waste treatment plant by using different methods. For some people this is the only way to get rid of waste and therefore you always need to keep a professional in hand who specializes in septic tank repair. Lawrenceville residents have their sewage treatment systems serviced by some experienced companies.Look At septic tank cleaning service website to get more
The most common sewage problems that home owners face are leaks. These small cracks can pose a serious problem if not dealt with as soon as possible. A regular check up of your septic tank can help you avoid this issue. Excessive grease and oil can hinder the performance of your sewage treatment system. Try having a separate system to treat oil and grease or reduce the usage of such elements. Non biodegradable products should not be flushed down toilets or drains. They can choke your drainage system as well as the soil. However, if your septic tank does contain all these particles then your best bet is to call up an efficient repair company.
There are a large variety of companies who provide good service in the shortest time possible. Sewage disposal is an integral part of any household and a below par septic tank can bring along a host of other problems as well. There are some points which need to be kept in mind while searching online for a septic tank repair company.Companies which offer customers a free estimate and quick service are good options. There are some firms who will respond to your problem within sixty minutes! If a company has won Consumers' Choice Awards then you can be rest assured they will get rid of your difficulty as soon as possible. Also make sure that the firm is a member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries; for mathematics, the cultural world is one county.
Howard Eves Mathematical Circles Squared (Boston 1971)
I have this quote hanging on my classroom wall, I always have. I don't remember the first time I read it, but each time I look at it I feel inspired.
So many subjects are subjective based on a person's perspective. Mathematics is different. Many people solve problems differently, but the solution is always the same. We all end up in the same place. I think that is what I love about this quote. We all get to the same place no matter our differences. It may take one person twice as long as another, but the solution is always the same.

The event is free to the public.
This week's speaker, Larry Ditto, a celebrated South Texas photographer and wildlife biologist, will share some of his latest images for the presentation, "Beauty in our Backyard: Nature Photography." He will also discuss his focus on the natural beauty of South Texas and the people who live and work among its wonders.
"My training as a wildlife biologist and background as a manager in the National Wildlife Refuge System have contributed greatly to my pursuit of wildlife photography," says Ditto.
Ditto was the manager of the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, and has been a nature photographer for many years. His photos have appeared in National Geographic books, Field & Stream, Natural History, Sports Afield and other magazines for many years. Audubon calendars, Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine, National Wildlife, and Texas Highways have also regularly featured his work.
Ditto regularly leads workshops at nature festivals, judges photography contests, and advises landowners on how to set up commercial wildlife photography operations. He conducts several workshops and instructional tours each year.
"We are pleased to host Larry Ditto in partnership with the Weslaco Public Library," says Sarah Williams, Executive Director of Frontera Audubon Society. "It's such a treat to view the people and nature of the Rio Grande Valley through his eyes…you don't want to miss it."
Summer Nature Talks will be every Tuesday at 6:30 at the Braught Theater at 525 Kansas Ave. in Weslaco. For more information on the Summer Nature Talks Series, contact Frontera Audubon at (956)968-3275 or email email@example.com. For updates, visit http://www.fronteraaudubon.org.

Thermalised elastic membranes without distant self-avoidance are believed to undergo a crumpling transition when the microscopic bending stiffness is comparable to kT. Most potential physical realizations of such membranes have a bending stiffness well in excess of experimentally achievable temperatures and are therefore unlikely ever to access the crumpling regime. We propose a mechanism to tune the crumpling transition by altering the membrane's geometry and topology. We have carried out extensive MD simulations of perforated sheets with a dense array of holes and observed that the critical temperature is controlled by the total fraction of removed area, independent of the precise arrangement and size of the individual holes. The critical exponents for the perforated membrane are compatible with those of the standard crumpling transition. We also explore crumpling in the polymer-like limit of a thin frame and make experimentally relevant predictions for graphene sheets.

Happy Monday everyone!
Before I get into the rest of my trip details – let it be known that these past couple days have been absolutely GLORIOUS weather-wise. I mean bona-fide 100% could not be better. Yesterday was mid 70s, light breeze, full sunshine and the evening cooled down perfectly. If only every day was like yesterday! 🙂
Back in Madison, we woke up Friday and walked across the street to Denny's for breakfast. I thought I took pictures. I could have sworn I did!
Anyways, we both tried the build-your-own pancake combo. I really liked that idea – you pick if you want buttermilk or wheat pancakes (wheat), choose from a list of add-ins like blueberries, nuts, milk or white chocolate chips (white chocolate), pick a topping – hot fudge, peanut butter sauce, sliced bananas or strawberries, etc (strawberries) and finally whether or not you want whipped cream (yes!).
Courtesy of Dennys.com, here's what our meal looked like:
We went back to the hotel, changed into our exercise clothes, and hit the little exercise room. 25min on the treadmill followed by some dumbbell work. I felt like Lori lifting the weights – only mine were just 5lbs 🙂
After the gym we went swimming in the pool and vegged in the hot tub. Then back to the room to shower and head downtown!
But not after some re-fueling 🙂
Bigger cities have such fun skylines!
We found a parking ramp and headed towards the Capitol
Great weather and not many people although there were protestors (loud ones) and we scurried by them as quickly as we could. Not something you see around home…
A cool thing they had around town were little rent-a-bike stations where you could pay $5 for a day's use – provided you checked the bike in every 30 min. Otherwise you'd pay some additional fees.
We sauntered up and down State street – and THIS is where the people were. It was packed – probably due to finals wrapping up and it being a Friday.
Interesting items for sale:
And interesting license plates:
We left and made a quick hunt for a Barnes and Noble so I could get some reading material and then made dinner reservations. Last year Ben took me to Ruth's Chris for my birthday and we went back again. It's just so good.
Started with a house salad with spinach and arugula
Then my glorious steak – cooked perfectly – on the 500 degree plate. Still sizzling as it arrived
As fantastic as the steak is, for me the star is the sweet potato casserole. I so wish I had this recipe!
Ben chose the garlic mashed pots
For the dessert course we got a flourless chocolate cake. Very rich, fluffy, and truffle-like in the center and just the perfect size.
I ordered a margarita but it came out with huge chunks of ice and really wasn't edible, so they took it back and I just enjoyed water instead.
We then drove home and stayed up until 12:30 watching the Brewers go into extra innings for the ball game. At least they won!
Saturday was the continental breakfast at the hotel and then a quick trip over to check out Trader Joes!
Madison is very eco-friendly:
I've been wanting to check out Trader Joe's for a while. They had a lot of really terrific prices! I bought coconut oil, almond flour, and almond butter at ridiculous prices and we loaded Ben up with organic lunch meats and cheeses.
Trader Joe's didn't have the Larabar flavors I wanted to try and since Whole Foods was 2 miles away, we went there too. We also managed to zip in and out with ONLY Larabars. I was proud of myself.
There's no doubt WF has a bigger selection. However they also are a lot more expensive and crowded. Ben said he vastly preferred TJ. As for me – I just was glad to have fun new stuff to buy.
Check out the little critters on the side of the highway:
I tend to be oblivious but Ben's great at pointing out wildlife for me.
A sunny drive back home and we arrived in Green Bay mid afternoon.
Now it's Monday and I'm wishing we'd have a few more days, relaxing is just so wonderful!
This is the FINAL survivor challenge at work – and it's a doozy! NO caffeine / soda / tea for the week. I'm sipping decaf (which is allowed) but I'm wondering if I'm going to have a bit of a headache later this week. We'll see. Probably doesn't hurt to go easy on the caf every once in a while anyway right?

Session Title: Free Paper Session 17: Imaging II
Session Date/Time: Saturday 09/09/2017 | 08:00-09:30
Paper Time: 08:30
Venue: Room 120
First Author: : A.Dubis UK
Co Author(s): : S. Wagner J. Jolly K. Xue R. MacLeran
Choroideremia (CHM) is an X-linked inherited retinal dystrophy characterised by progressive centripetal degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), photoreceptors and choroid. The extent of RPE degeneration can be seen on autofluorescence (AF) imaging as a shrinking 'island' of autofluorescence. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the surviving RPE and photoreceptor cells at the advancing edge of degeneration by correlating fundus AF and the photoreceptor mosaic imaged using adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO).
NIHR Biomedical Resource Centre at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Trust, London UK and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, UK Outpatients department
Fifteen male patients with genetically confirmed CHM were recruited as part of a Phase 2 clinical trial of gene therapy for choroideremia (Clinicaltrials.gov ID: NCT02407678). All subjects underwent 30° and 55° AF imaging (Spectralis, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) and AOSLO image using a custom built device based at MEH as previously described [Dubra & Sulai, Biomed Opt Express 2011]. Briefly, this consisted of a Shark-Hartmann wavefront sensor and correction of wave-front aberrations using an 8Hz deformable mirror. The images were acquired at a line rate of 15 kHz and frame rate of 16.6 Hz. The AOSLO images were processed using custom software to visualise photoreceptor mosaics, which were montaged and co-localised onto AF images with Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Adobe Systems Inc, San Jose, California, USA).
High quality fundus AF and AOSLO images were acquired in 15 subjects (aged 29 – 38 years). Five subjects had general preservation of normal AF pattern within the 55° posterior pole while the rest had significant areas with absent AF, suggestive of RPE cell loss. Confocal AOSLO images showed loss of photoreceptor mosaic which co-localised with areas of absent AF. Split-detection AOSLO images showed that there was decreased cone density in areas of mottled AF (within the residual AF islands) in some but not all locations. Cone density decreased subtly towards the edges of the AF islands. The decrease was no more significant between the edges of AF islands and the pseudo-arms structures protruding from the main AF islands.
Co-localisation of the cone mosaics as seen by AOSLO and surviving RPE as suggested by AF imaging showed relative preservation of cone photoreceptor density in areas with a disrupted AF pattern. This would suggest that the cone photoreceptor degeneration could lag behind RPE loss in CHM, although it is unclear whether those photoreceptors overlying abnormal RPE have any functional impairment. The findings are consistent with previous observations based on correlation between AF and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in this condition [Xue, Oldani, Jolly, et al, IOVS 2016]. The implication is that a clinical window may exist during which gene replacement therapy to rescue a proportion of RPE cells may be sufficient to slow down or stop the degeneration of overlying photoreceptors. High resolution imaging may be helpful in patient selection for gene and cell therapy trials.

Here's another one of those "it seemed like a good idea at the time" projects. I rashly promised my daughter that I would make Christmas stockings for her and her brother. And then for their two cousins too. I had decided that I'd do a lovely patchwork design and they would be LOVELY.
it took many, many weeks to make these. And many, many swear words too. I'll update with a "finished product" post soon, but here are the "how I made my stockings" work in progress pictures.
I bought a few different festive materials for the stockings. The red Nordic style is disappointingly thinner than I'd hoped for. And the grey reindeer fabric is very, very similar to the colour of the blue reindeer fabric which caused me quite a headache when planning out the pattern. But I LOVE the reindeer print and the red Santa print is super cute. I bought about a metre of each and cut the fabric into an approximation of equal sizes. And that's where it stopped for a while. Because I had LOADS of time you see, and didn't have to hurry to make the stockings. (I am a FOOL and should stop listening to myself when I witter on like that in my head.)
I started to piece together the squares into a stocking shape. To make matters as complicated as possible for myself, I decided to patchwork both sides of the stocking. Sooooo much pinning…
Here they are after starting to sew the squares into rows and rows into stocking shape. How jaunty!
And this is the inside material. Even more festive! I love the gingerbread pattern. The fabric is quite thin but fine for inside the stockings.
now, the complicated bit wasn't making the patchwork outside, it was trying to figure out how to get a nice "quilted" appearance on the stocking. I read around a gazillion online tutorials and blog pieces about making a stocking and pretty much ignored all of them. Instead I did what seemed easiest to me:
- stitch the lining to the outer with right sides together, leaving a little gap to pull the fabric through leaving both right sides outside. This made one side of the stocking.
- then I stitched diagonal rows back and forth across the stocking adding a bit more interest.
- I did this on both sides of the stocking, so 8 times in total (2 for each stocking).
- then with the outer parts facing, I just sewed around the edge leaving the top open.
- i thought they looked a bit plain so added some left over white fleece around the top.
hey presto! Only 26385 hours of sewing, 28887295 swear words and 300 metres of red thread later, 4 stockings were made.

Casillas eventually won the battle with Mourinho, as the Portuguese tactician lost the whole of the Real Madrid dressing room.
"I don't hold any grudge nor do I feel mistreated by him. He took the decisions which he thought were the best for the club and you need to respect that. I've nothing personal against him," Casillas insisted.
"Unfortunately we weren't able to achieve our objectives in the Copa del Rey and Champions League in the end, but there's no point going on about that. Mourinho has embarked on a new journey and I wish him the best."

|By Donna De Marco, The Washington Times
Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News
July 23, 2004 - Vacationers tend to relax the rules they follow at home when staying at a hotel.
Most Americans who have stayed in a hotel for leisure do things that they don't normally do at home: such as eating in bed, using too many towels and leaving the TV on all day, according to a survey by Orbitz, an online travel company.
"People vacationing in a hotel want to escape from everyday responsibilities whether they are staying in a five-star hotel or a motor inn," said John Samuel, Orbitz executive vice president for consumer travel.
And hotel officials expect guests to act differently.
"People like to be pampered," said Joel Brous, general manager of the 112-room Flamingo Motel in Ocean City. "They don't have to take out the trash or make the bed. They like that."
In a vacation state of mind, many hotel guests don't even realize they are doing things differently.
"We use all of the towels," said Luis Gaud of Atlantic City, N.J. "Why? I have no idea."
He isn't alone. About a quarter of American adults use more towels than necessary, according to the survey.
Mr. Gaud, who was traveling this week with his family to Ocean City, Annapolis, Washington and Baltimore, concedes he turns on the television as soon as he enters the room and keeps it and the lights on when he leaves.
"I just left the hotel room and I don't remember turning [the television] off," he said with a laugh.
Daisy Oliver, of Owings Mills, Md., said she leaves the lights and television on so she doesn't come back to a dark room. But when it's time to check out of the hotel, she makes sure everything is off.
"I revert back to my ways because I'm going home," she said.
She also says she is a "fanatic for housekeeping." Each day, she gathers all the used towels and puts them in a pile for the housekeeper. Her husband leaves them scattered around the room.
"Same as he does at home," she said.
But for some, old habits die hard.
"We find ourselves actually cleaning and making the bed until the middle of the week," said Barbara Postma, of Burlington, Vt. "At home I'm so schedule-oriented, so it takes me a few days to adjust."
Crystal Swaney of Lexington, N.C., doesn't pick up after herself while staying in a hotel.
"I usually leave trash everywhere," she said. "I'm paying high prices, so they are going to clean it up."
Ms. Swaney, staying at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore this week, said she particularly likes the hotel's brand of hand and body lotions by Bath & Body Works and has asked for more every day.
More than 60 percent of American adults take the hotel toiletries, according to the Orbitz survey.
The survey, conducted in April, covers a sample of 2,745 U.S. adults, of whom 2,494 have stayed in a hotel for a leisure trip.
Many hotels have seen it all -- the good and the bad.
Guests at the Hatteras Marlin Motel in Hatteras Village, N.C., have taken blankets, bedspreads and even sofas outside the rooms to bask in the sun. They leave the windows open with the air conditioner on, keep the refrigerator door open or leave the television on when they aren't there.
"Sometimes it surprises me," said Ame Gray, assistant manager at the Hatteras Marlin Motel. "People think this place is on another planet and they can do anything they want."
Plenty of guests eat in bed, too, leaving the remnants of pizza on the sheets.
"I'm sure they do not put pizza on their bed at home," Ms. Gray said.
About 19 percent of American adults say they eat in bed while in a hotel.

Hey everyone!
Maybelline recently released their new mascara, which is The Colossal Big Shot Volum'Express mascara. It was on sale at my local drugstore so I purchased it to give it a try,
First off, I love that this mascara separated every single lash so that your lashes don't stick together. I think it is due to its great wand that allows you to reach every single lash. I also like that I can layer this mascara even when it is dry and it won't clump.
Since I bought the waterproof one, I really wanted to know if it is genuinely waterproof. I feel that it's not 100% waterproof, especially if you rub your eyes during the day. This mascara doesn't give me much volume; it gives me length, but since I have "no lashes", I can't really tell if it truly gives volume or not. It gives me a natural eyeliner effect, which works for me.
Will I repurchase? I am not sure since I am pretty disappointed that it isn't totally waterproof, but, everything else works for me. I can't say that I will certainly repurchase it or that I won't, I'll see when I run out of it.
Price: 8.96$ CAD
Have you tried this mascara? Which mascara should I try next? Let me know in the comments below!
Thanks for reading and 'til next time,
~Kamy ❤

Install your new hinged door yourself in only 10 steps
Part A: Preparatory measures
1st step: Remove the old door in a professional manner. If you are dealing with two-part hinges, you can simply remove the door from its housing. In the case of three-part hinges, undo the fixings first.
2nd step: Remove the profiled architrave of the door frame. If it refuses to budge, use a spanner to exert a little pressure to help.
3rd step: Now remove the second, adhered door frame element. You will need a hammer to do so. Apply more pressure than in step 2 when you were using the spanner.

"So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being." ~ Franz Kafka
Snapshot No. 5 If the Line is Long
The line was long for this one little street stall, so I figured it was good. The young guy inside running the wine and sandwich bar was a flurry of movement, flicking wine glasses quick onto the counter from behind him, cutting tomatoes, throwing bread to toast in the smallest toaster oven I had ever seen. He was operating in the smallest space I have ever seen for a shop. It was a space smaller than a food truck. He had room only to stand and turn around for wine bottles and glasses behind him. It was wonder to watch him function in that tiny space. A portrait of efficiency. "Ensalata," said the little girl in front of me, holding on to her mother's hand. "Ensalata, mozzarella," she repeated, tugging on her mom's coat. "Si, si," replied the mother, distractedly.
A waiter from down the street pushed through, rapid conversation with the man running the shop, a quick exchange, inside joke. A wine glass was flicked onto the counter, shake of the head, oh – plastic cup then? Si, si, duo. Two. Flick of the wrist, splash of red wine, and the man was on his way, menus under his arm and cups in hand. Men in business wear, suit jackets over the arm chatted outside the shop, wine glasses in hand. It was overwhelming to order, especially in Italian, so I stuck to what I knew. Pomodoro. Mozzarella. It was simple and easy and so good.

Exciting English
Now we are learning about Nurturing Nurses. We have learnt lots of new facts about doctors and nurses. We try hard to remember our presentation promise and make sure our work is the best it can be. Soon we will be learning about a story called The Egg. We will write lots of beautiful work in our English books.
Take Over Day
We do fun activities when its take-over day. I like the iPad activities when we study photography.
Come and visit our class!
By Finley and Lola.
You can see from the displays in our classrooms the variety of topics we cover. As the year progresses, the displays change. By July, you will be able to see the whole range of subjects we have covered. Our Working walls help us learn – the content builds as the term progresses.
Take a look at some of our work and sometimes us in the classroom. You are always welcome to come into school and take a closer look.
What a busy day class two have had. Firstly, we had a visit from warburtons who taught us all about food hygiene, food waste and healthy eating. Then we washed our hands and remembered to hold them as bakers do, making sure not to contaminate them. Then we had a fantastic PE lesson from Future Stars linked to balancing, movement and travelling. What a busy day!
Year 2 PE
Year two have been learning all about balancing in their PE lessons. We have used a variety of apparatus such as beams, hot spots, hoops and bean bags.
Class 2 baked gingerbread men in response to writing an alternative version of the traditional tale: The Gingerbread Man. They enjoyed eating the biscuits as they listened to each others stories.

More for show than tell
November 8, 2016
Reviewer: Janelle Barrera from Key West, FL United States
It is a beautiful globe but I was expecting it to be more useful than decorative as it is a gift for my granddaughter's use. I will keep it as a gift for her and get her opinion T Christmas time.
Was this review helpful?

sometimes i just stare in my closet and literally feel like i have nothing to wear. i understand how absurd that sounds, but it's very true…and you all know exactly what i'm talking about.
when that does happen, i go to the reverse season method (yes, i made this up). for this example, since we are in the colder weather season, "what are some more spring/summer items i can layer to make a fall outfit?"
1.) start with sandals and wear any type of tights under them
2.) find any summer cotton t-shirt, button down, blouse, etc. and layer it with a blazer, sweater, etc. (ps. i look annoyed bc our reservations are at 9pm, so i'm starving and still not convinced about that outfit yet.)
3.) then throw on any type of short over the tights. my sequins are my go-to, as seen here, but you can do cutoffs or anything. see, happy as a lark (btw–why are larks so happy…what does that even mean?)
4.) lastly, play with your pups
*Creme Fraiche blazer, Madewell chambray button-down, Poleci sequined shorts, Hue tights, i'm not sure about the brand of shoes–got them at a wholesale sale, Anthopologie necklace, Michael Kors watch, and Ronda Smith Designs bracelets.

Before I went to Australia someone told me that my grass will not become greener just because I move to another continent for a while.
On the one hand I think the statement has a point. You'll always have yourself with you no matter where you are and if you're not friend with yourself your life will probably not be better somewhere else either.
I mostly disagree to the comment though. Most of the time I don't think people travel for finding a better place to live, I think they travel to learn more about themselves and the world. I think that getting more perspectives makes you happier and more motivated to do what you want to do in life. I also think travelers are more open minded and less scared for new things(, obvisouly!). We are not trees, travel as much as you want and can! 😉
Some thoughts this Friday morning. Hope you you have a great weekend. 🙂

By Blair Childs, senior vice president of public affairs, Premier
The Premier Inc. healthcare alliance strongly supports provisions in the new House prescription drug user fee authorization bill that would expedite the review of generic drug applications when there are fewer than three manufacturers in the market. We believe this change is fundamental to ensure a healthy, competitive market for generic drugs, and we thank Rep. Schrader (D-OR) and Rep. Bilirakis (R-FL) for their leadership on this issue.
Past experience has proven time and again that when the generic drug market lacks proper competition, hospitals, caregivers and consumers typically experience significant price spikes. Moreover, a dearth of suppliers can leave our national supply chain vulnerable to drug shortages for critical and live-saving drug products used every day in emergency and other procedures. Expedited reviews will help address this problem, and we also thank the Senate for including this provision in their legislation as well. While we applaud these important actions, members of Premier recognize that more needs to be done to create healthy markets for drugs. Premier recently released nine policy recommendations Congress and the administration should take to drive toward the goal of achieving a high-quality, cost-effective pharmaceutical industry, and we will continue to advocate for these and other positive policy changes.
–Blair Childs, senior vice president of public affairs, Premier

World Fantasy Convention; Day One
November 2, 2012 6 Comments
What a day. It's just after nine pm and I'm pooped!
Slept at my mom's place and she drove me into the train station. Via Rail has new guidelines for carry-on luggage; 40lbs. My one suitcase was 39.2. I was a little worried on the way up because I was taking a cab from the train station to the hotel ($70 btw) and when I got in the cab and told him where I was going, he turned to me and said "That's in Markham?" (0_o)
What the hell are you asking me for? You're the cab driver!!!!!
Anyway, yes it is.
Had a great first day. Met Jen Wylie and Sean Hayden right off the bat. People look so much different in real life. Recognized Sean right away; the hair. I owe him a birthday drink. I'm going to help them out at their stand. They own Untold Press and are selling a pile of books. They're stand looks really good too.
With everything going on, and yes, I got confused I did get to one seminar today; Whither the Dark Arts. It was about psychic detectives and magic verses science and whether you can combine the two or not. It was pretty cool. I came up with some good plot points for a story I've been messing around with—We Can See, which I might turn into a mystery crime solving duo…thing. My Muse is hinting at a series.
Went out to dinner with Brenda Carr and some of her WFC friends. I had Indian food for the first time. I'm such a spice wuss. Even the mild was too hot for me, but it was really good. Then my jaw started acting up and it was too painful to eat. That, and it's just gross to hear it pop and snap while you're eating. I'm so self-conscious about that. I figure because I can hear it so loud, everyone else can.
Wanted to go to one of the last seminars, but I forgot which room it was in and my feet were hurting so I called it a night.
So I came back to my room and typed this up.
Tomorrow looks really good. There are five seminars I want to get too. Now if I can just figure out how the alarm clock works…

A major update to Macphun's Luminar!/
The best just keeps getting better!
I have loved using Luminar from Macphun ever since I first started with it, and I find that the more I use it, the more I want to use it. It is simple yet powerful and allows you to customize the workflow to suit your needs.
I just returned from a trip to France (and a short stop in NYC on the way home), and captured several thousand images that will be making their way here to the blog. I'm excited to share them, because I think I have some real winners.
The interesting thing for me though is that while on the road, I found myself using Luminar every time I had a few moments to work on photos - and nothing else! It's become my new addiction, though I definitely still love Aurora HDR (in case you were wondering).
So you will be seeing a lot more about Luminar here on the blog. In the meantime, I highly recommend you take a look at the Macphun blog to see screenshots and get insights into what they just added to Luminar - it's quite a lot! Oh, and it's a free update for current users!
Here's a quick hit list of the new features:
- Golden hour filter
- Batch processing
- Dehaze filter
- Enhanced Color Temperature filter
- New Crop ratios
- ...and more!
