Raspberry Pi is a UK Non Profit with the goal of creating a new generation of computer programmers. Observing how the UK Tech Industry was kickstarted by the availability in the 1980s of relatively cheap, very programmable computers such as the ZX81, the Commodore and the BBC Micro, the Raspberry Pi Foundation designed a Ap15/$25 computer which encourages the user to play and to learn. Although intended for schools, it has also been adopted by hackers and geeks, and a whole ecosystem of software and hardware is being built around the Pi. With a million boards now sold, the goal of the Foundation is well underway.Wiley also publishes itsbooks in a variety of electronic formats. Some content that appears in print may not be available in electronic books. Designations used bycompanies to distinguish theirproducts are often claimed astrademarks.

The Wave
In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the OceaneBook - 2010
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
A totally fascinating book and very well written. Highly recommended.
Long the yarn of those who go down to the ocean and return to tell tall tales of things terrible, waves, especially rogue waves are not, it appears, the stuff of fiction but, rather, the stuff of science. These mammoth waves destroy ocean going vessels as though they were match sticks; they are capable of reaching far inland washing away entire cities; and yet they can be the delight of those who ride these waves, the surfer.
Wave is eminently readable yet highly informative. It is written by two story tellers: one is a fan of surfing, the other is a clear-eyed investigator of waves. And both are the same person. This book deserves your attention.
I wish the book was more about the science of waves and less about the surfing. The author goes into so much detail about the surfers: their clothes, their language, etc. I wish things had been more balanced.
Completely amazing. Susan Casey terrifies with descriptions of giant waves and the daredevil elite who attempt to surf them without dying horribly. If you have a vivid imagination and also suffer from bathophobia (fear of deep water), or specifically cymophobia (fear of waves), this book might be too intense for you!
One of the best books I've ever read! I love how it compares two different points of view on big waves - the surfers, and the scientists. Definitely an exciting read.
This is a great mix of surfing and science. It puts all the latest science together journalistic style. I loved the research that was done on rogue waves and giant waves. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves the ocean, physics or surfing.
Great book for a mixed, female/male book club. Those of us from the Beach Boys era enjoyed the scientist meets surfer aspect.
I now know more about surfing then I ever thought possible! THought she could do a little less on the surfing - more about other effects of the waves - such as lost ships, tsunamis, etc.
Toronto-born journalist and author, Susan Casey tells the stories of big wave surfers and oceanographers, from Hawaii to Alaska to the tip of Africa. The book reveals the science of waves, i.e. giant water (the largest wave ever recorded is 1740 feet high!) including the challenges waves pose to shipping, and the stories of a group of surfers she shadowed for her story. She also interviews scientists exploring the danger that global warming will bring us more and larger waves. She makes the world of big wave surfers and the jargon of physicists engaging. It was interesting to join the world's legendary surfers in their world. An approachable, engaging read. For more about the author: http://www.susancasey.com/
I viewed interviews of Susan Casey with Jian Ghomeshi and John Stewart and I was intrigued, then someone lent me The Wave. The Wave is an interesting book about the science of waves (ocean current fluid dynamics) and big wave surfing. It highlights, in layman's terms, the present study of ocean waves and offers some shocking statistics regarding the frequency of large waves and their effects on the environment and the shipping industry. To keep things simple, Casey briefly discusses wavelength and period, which may leave some readers wondering about frequency, amplitude, phase velocity and group velocity, but they are essentially beyond the scope of this book and unnecessary given that the title indicates that we are looking for evidence of massive waves - waves so big that science can't fully explain them.
Further, the book documents the fascinating and somewhat esoteric world of the big wave surfer. We get a glimpse into the lives of several veteran big wave riders. Casey describes their exploits at various areas around the globe and - spoiler alert - it's pretty crazy (like, totally dude).
The book is broken into sections that discuss the "science" of waves and the "art" of riding them, and it's an interesting mix throughout the book. Casey is no slouch when it comes to descriptions, so we get fairly vivid face, body, and geographic mental images from her writing. You can improve the experience by reviewing many of these locations on a map, particularly the North shore of Maui (if you don't know where that is, then definitely get a map). The midsection of the book offers some tasty pictures of big waves, surfers, ships and damage caused by waves.
The Wave offers an interesting parallel between the geeky scientist and pro surfer. The scientists have their own community, with conferences, debate and analysis, and the surfers have their own version of the same thing with contests, funky language and cliquey group dynamics.
The clear difference between the surfers and scientists is funding: many of the surfers bemoan the popularity of their sport or their favourite location, yet this is what drives the surfing industry and the sponsorship marketing that provides them with their exotic livelihood. It's kind of hard to "keep it real" while competing to be on the cover of every surfer magazine.
Conclusion: take a look at a big wave surf video (youtube will do) and imagine what that sheer volume of water is like to ride or study, and imagine the kind of people that study it and ride it, what are their motivations, feelings, and experiences - to find out, you can start by reading The Wave.

The Advantages and Disadvantage of Starbucks
Vertical Integration is a kind of company that controls all of the process of production.

Tony Moly Cat's Wink Mascara Curling and Longlash Review
10 comments:
Aww, it's a shame that these were disappointing! :c I had wanted to try it as well (because the packaging is too cute, not going to lie). Thanks for the review~ReplyDelete
And oh my gosh, I have so many photos from Christmas/January that I have yet to use for reviews or posts. ;u;
your eyelashes are so nice!ReplyDelete
Cats wink! Also, your eyelashes are super prettyful. Like your face :DReplyDelete
I personally love this mascara xD I never use it on my top lashes though. The reason I really like it though, is because it's perfect for creating the kind of falsies like effect on the bottom lashes. I find that it's only smudgy if you put more than 2 coats on, so you should try it out on your lower lashes :DD
The design is very cute ^-^ I liked your review! Your lashes are really pretty btw! :3ReplyDelete
- Bittersuess Maho23 February 2013 at 09:30
This packaging is soo cute and adorable but I guess Tony Moly is popular for their sweet packagings, hehe! Thanks for review, I'll look for this mascara.ReplyDelete

Great service!
Illinois Valley Movers really helped us out when we moved our aunt into Assisted Living. They were friendly, helpful, professional, and they got the job done quickly and efficiently. We can't recommend them enough!
Would definitely recommend
John & Clint helped me move. They were very courteous and arrived early. After a short walk-though the house, they got right to work. This was one of the first really hot days of the year, 90+, and they did a great job. They were very respectful of our property. There were a few scuffs on the wallpaper, due to a very tight turn on the stairs. They informed me of them as soon as they happened. We could not have completed the job without them. Great work guys!! I would highly recommend.
1st time moving out of state. Gave the job to them,on time,courteous, hard working. Great price,loaded everything and were gone. My wife was already in our new location out of state,they called her before they arrived and unloaded everything where she wanted it and left. Great job. Mike &Kathy F.
Friendly Courteous and Exerienced Professionals
A friend referred me.to IVM. He said he liked their service in going him move. I just Sold my house and am going to close within the week. Had to clear out tons of antiques out of my house with some going to my new place and some into storage. Chris came out with his 2 man crew and they cleared everything I wanted out quickly and efficiently. I rented a 10'x 10' storage unit and when we arrived to unload all the antiques, I was worried that everything was not going to fit. Chris made it happen being able to not only fit everything in the unit but he arranged everything in a way so that there is still room to go in there and pick out items. I highly recomend their service and will call them again when I move again.!
My move was October 13th to two different locations. My daughter and I played gin rummy while the men loaded up the truck quickly and efficiently. I was pleasantly surprised how easily the move went. At the new location, they helped with the placement of furniture and were upbeat and pleasant. Thanks very much for a terrific job very well done.

Fantastic Service, Couldn't Ask for More
Mark and John moved my mom last week. They were great - there aren't enough good things to say about them (dynamic duo, Supermen). They were professional. They got the job done quickly and efficiently. They treated my mom like a queen.
Same day moving
I moved in town from a two story home with a full basement . The guys were really good and so polite also had the cleaning service come and its was so nice to have everything done at the end of the day. Great Job
Piano moved
These movers were very adept and polite. Our piano arrived in great condition. I would definitely use them again.
Great no-stress experience
moved from a 2 story, 2 bedroom townhouse to a 2 bedroom apartment within the same town. The experience was great - movers were on time and walked the house with me to address an items that needed special attention. The move went smoothly, quickly and the guys that did our move were friendly and efficient.
Best Moving Service
Illinois Valley Movers was a wonderful experience. They made a very difficult task much easier. Dan and Rilly were very professional and efficient. they worked constantly and consistently. They took great care of our property and all of it arrived safely. We were very happy with their service. We highly recommend them.
Use this company
We were out of their normal service area, however Chris did not hesitate to complete our move for us. He and Riley were on time and professional. They couldn't have been more friendly efficient during the move. This was the first time we have ever used a moving company. If only all businesses were run like this one is.
High Quality Service
Very good service for my first move last year . I am working on my second move this month.
Quality movers
They did a great job moving two households into one. This was a big job and they handled it very professionally.
Great Experience!
IL Valley Movers were quick to respond, easy to work with and considerate of our property and premises. Great guys who knew what they were doing. They brought the needed tools and equipment and were able to move our piano last minute. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
Excellent Moving Company
Illinois Valley has moved me twice. The teams were outstanding and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
Hard workers
Chris was great with scheduling our move and answering all of our questions. The workers brought shrink wrap, blankets, boxes, dollies, and truck with a ramp!

Reasonable price and very nice guys
We used them for our local move. Chris was very helpful on the phone with telling us what we needed to do to prepare and what they would do for us. Three men showed up for our move and we're all very personable, professional, and clean. They even had shrink wrap and moving blankets for our move ready. We also had them get the truck for us, which saved us money too!

I was able to use my GD for the first time. I made a 9lb brisket, started around 11:30pm Thursday night, and removed it about 1pm Friday afternoon. I did have to relight the fire one time when I woke up to go to work a little after 4am. As I was not awake to watch, I'm not sure what happened. I'll keep a better eye on it next time to adjust air flow. There's just a bit of a learning curve to get the air flow just right.
While the fire was getting going again, I went ahead and wrapped the brisket in heavy foil and put it back on after about 15 minutes once the fire was good again.
However, even with that, I took the meat up to 193 degrees F by lunch time and it was the most tender brisket that I have ever made and possibly the most tender I have ever had - no exaggeration. It did need more smoke (didn't soak the chunks long at all so they went up too quick) and it needed better seasoning - used a store bought rub as I was out of my own.
I did notice one other thing that was never an issue before. When I've cooked briskets in the past, I've always been happy with the flavor but they were never tender enough - poor heat control. While the meat was firmer, so was the fat, so it was easy to cut off after the cook.
This brisket was so tender (fell to pieces when I put the knife to it) that it was difficult to separate the fat, which was so well cooked into the meat.
Next time I will leave only a VERY thing layer of fat, and trim the rest before cooking.
So, while I still need a little tweaking, I can already say that this was an excellent purchase! Next weekend I'll be trying my first pulled pork (shh - don't tell the other Texans).

Vodafone UK has implemented real-time attribution and tag management technology from TagMan in what the mobile operator is calling its strategy for "unstoppable digital".
It says this will transform the company's understanding of the digital marketing campaigns it runs, radically altering its approach to that investment as it expands activity in this area.
Vodafone online and telesales marketing manager Gareth Davies said that the company can now track all campaigns in one place, and view how they combine to result in sales.
We truly know how paid search, natural search, email, display affiliates and such interact and support each other."
Davies added that using new providers would offer better value for money since TagMan will enable it to add new tags to its web pages in minutes rather than months.
Vodafone affiliate and performance marketing manager James Talbot added that the collaboration will help to generate further savings through the optimisation of the company's de-duplication model.
TagMan's announced a partnership with call tracking specialist AdInsight back in December that combines online with offline analytics.
The companies, both of which have previously won Econsultancy Innovation Awards, said that this would connect the dots between customers' entire online journey and any phone calls to a business by housing AdInsight's tracking inside the TagMan tag management system.
At the time, the companies were investigating their client bases to develop a joint trial programme of the integration., which Vodafone would seem to be a perfect candidate for.
With successful implementation of TagMan's offering under its belt, it seems only a matter of time before the mobile operator joins the dots even further to include phone tracking as well.
Comments (1)
Interesting that they install full attribution before call tracking... I guess this is the way that everyone will move now - towards full attribution. I wonder if they will change their affiliat commission structure to reflect this and/or if they will share the findings of their data as it may be the case that the de-dupe savings are not that significant perhaps.

Subsequently, the lake and surrounding areas are also important for regional and international necessities, for examples are for water regulation, water sources for household and paddy field, climate change issues and conservation of migratory birds. Several observations were made from 2013 to 2015 is to identify the environmental and social issues related to the sustainable lake management. Interview of informants was done during observation. Subsequently, literature study was made. Sedimentation is occurred at severe level which local people informed that sedimentation rate is reaching 10 cm/yr. It indicated the forest and other natural vegetation in upstream areas are degraded. Fertilizer is used in crop activities at new created land during dry season along the bank of lake. It increased the chemical pollution into the lake and subsequently threat fish and water bird population. Based on observation, most of the fishes caught by fishermen can be considered small in size, which indicate that the fish populations are being over-exploited. The water bird populations are decreased and it should be noted that whistling duck population is become extinct as impact of over-exploitation and illegal poaching. Some noxious species, such as Eichhornia crassipes (aquatic plant), Mimosa pigra (weedy shrub) and Hypostomus sp. (suckermouth catfish) have invested the lake areas. Therefore, the lake sustainability is threatened and good management and action are needed to restore the lake function.

Window Shutters Something Of Great Functionality For People
Here's An Opinion On:
Window Shutters- Something Of Great Functionality For People
John James
People may use different type of accessories to decorate their homes and use them for different productive purposes. There are a variety of such accessories which are available to people. They give people great utility when used. One such accessory is
window shutters
. It is very commonly found in certain houses especially the exterior window shutters. They are used as a decorative item or for other functional purposes. People may have different tastes of shutters according to which the best can be chosen amongst the large variety that is available. One type of window shutters if the colonial shutter which gives great protection from storms. Bahama shutter provides great shade by providing the entire window and louvered shutter which can be a great item of decoration. Different materials like aluminum, wood and other metals are used to make shutters due to their sustainability. Window shutters are available for indoors also. But the trendiness of the exterior ones is more than the interior ones.
While treating the windows of a house, people can even consider the window awnings which function in a very environment friendly manner. People often opt to purchase awnings for their offices and homes due to the great functionality. They are extremely beneficial as they greatly reduce the energy bills and at the same time the style and beauty of the house is also greatly enhanced. The color and design that would suit the house can be selected by people. Window awnings are very helpful in reducing the heat penetration into the house during sultry summers. There are a number of manufacturers which provide great quality window awnings which offer people great benefits. In addition to the windows, people should consider the requirement of their gardens. People have the option of having
patio awnings
for their gardens which provides great utility to people. The patio area can be covered by them during rains and even from excess sunshine.
People should consider what would suit their homes in the best manner before going ahead with the decision of purchasing the accessories. The quality should be ensured so that the functionality of these accessories is maintained for a considerably longer period of time. The versatility of these accessories should be ensured so that the utility derived from them is the maximum. The features should be such that there is completely no compromise with the requirements of the people and they get the best out of what they pay for them.

James Carville, one of Bill Clinton's top political consultants, sent a fundraising e-mail yesterday proclaiming that "The Tea Party is Over," according to the New York Observer.
The letter, written to solicit fundraising money for Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), says if Democrats like Slaughter are elected, the Tea Party movement will be over, even though Carville concedes that getting rid of the Tea Party will not be easy.
"These Tea Party Republicans have worn out their welcome. But I'm telling you — getting rid of 'em won't be easy. They're not leaving on their own. We're going to have to boot them out the door like unwanted house guests," Carville wrote, according to the Observer. "That's why we've got to get behind proud Democrats like Louise Slaughter to make sure we can win a Democratic Majority."
Democrats who are thinking about sending Slaughter money based on this e-mail may want to think twice based on Carville's track record. Shortly after the 2008 election, Carville authored a book, 40 More Years, in which he argued Democrats would be in the majority for 40 years. Of course, two years after Carville wrote his book, Republicans won historic gains in the 2010 midterm elections.
If the past will be prologue, perhaps Republicans should send Slaughter money, since it seems like whenever Carville predicts something, the opposite occurs.

Those days are looong gone thanks to the wretched inception of "Reality TV" (I think I just threw up in my mouth). Thankfully we have technology and the internet to help fill the music video void left in our hearts. Now, thanks to sites like VEVO, getting your music video fix is just a few clicks away.

We'll always have Paris, one letter at a time
While soaking up some rays of late summer sun on this long weekend, you can journey on audio to London, Paris or Barcelona. Two historical romances, one Gothic horror novel aimed at the young adult crowd, and a memoir round out our selections. All titles are available to download from www.audible.com.
"Paris Letters: One Woman's Journey from the Fast Lane to a Slow Stroll in Paris"
Written by: Janice MacLeod
Read by: Tavia Gilbert
Tantor Audio; Six CDs; 7 hours; $34.99
If you've ever wanted to step out of your life and into a more streamlined, romantic version, then pay attention, because Janice MacLeod will tell you how she did it. Surviving, but not thriving, in middle management at an ad agency, she asked one simple question: "How much money does it take to quit your job?"
One step at a time, she walked away from the Cube Farm. She downsized everything in her life, from objects to people, and learned to take chances, eventually finding romance and a new life in Paris. Ironically, she made a living sending out hand-painted letters of her life instead of the corporate junk mail she once created.

"That Summer"
Written by: Lauren Willig
Read by: Nicola Barber
Macmillan Audio; 10 CDs; 12 hours; $44.95
In 2009 Julia Conley learns that her English great-aunt has left her the family manse, so off she goes to London, hoping to sell the place. Once there she discovers a family mystery, intrusive relatives and a sexy antiques dealer. Paralleling this story is one set in 1849 in which Imogen Grantham, a young bride, moves into the same house and finds that nothing is as she expected. Romances, the pre-Raphaelites, murders and historical detail make this a fun, end-of-summer escape that is intelligent enough to keep your interest. Barber has a lovely, soft British accent and clear, crisp diction. Her spot-on vocal characterizations range from a patrician older woman to several men, a tremulous young woman and a snide cousin, but her American accent is flat.
Grade: B-Plus
Written by: Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Read by: Daniel Weyman
Hachette Audio; Six CDs; 7.5 hours; $25
Oscar Drai, a 15-year-old boarding school student in Barcelona, discovers a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city that is occupied by an aged, eccentric artist and his bewitching and spunky daughter, Marina. Following a veiled, elderly woman into a hidden cemetery, the two teens witness a macabre ceremony and are soon spending all of their time unraveling clues to her life and a 30-year-mystery revolving around greed and an unholy longing for immortality. Atmospheric, tragic, romantic — this has everything your brooding teen will enjoy, including Zafon's exceptional descriptions and evocative emotion. However, narrator Weyman was not a strong match for this suspenseful listen, as his characterizations fall flat and his performance lacks energy.
Grade: B-Plus
"The Fortune Hunter"
Written by: Daisy Goodwin
Read by: Clare Corbett
Macmillan Audio; 12 CDs; 14 hours; $39.99
There is nothing like a historical romance to whisk you out of summer traffic. Just check your brain at the door because this offers few surprises. Goodwin is a strong researcher, and her Victoria-era England sounds realistic, as does one of the main characters, the fact-based Empress Elizabeth of Austria. The gorgeous empress has captured the eye of dashing Bay Middleton, whom heiress Charlotte Baird had expected to marry. This is a lot of upper-crust fun, but narrator Corbett can't keep up. Her heiress sounds appropriately youthful and naive, but the empresses' simpering is maddening, and some of the men sound like cartoon characters. The interview with Goodwin at the end is the most intriguing aspect of the audiobook.
Grade: B-Minus

- Spread about one quarter of the spinach mixture in the center of each pounded chicken breast.
- Evenly divide the goat cheese mixture among the chicken breasts, placing a piece in the center of each breast.
- Fold the sides of each breast up and around the filling to form a more or less ball shaped package, sealing the bottom of the chicken packages as well as possible without getting fanatical about it.

However, I'm going to share anyway! LOL Last week when I bought mouthwash (Listerine) it came with a small bottle of pre-brush teeth whitening rinse. I thought, "What the heck, I'll try it."
My gawd! For at least five minutes, I gagged, heaved, and almost wretched my stomach up through my throat. I've never had that kind of reaction to anything! And it definitely doesn't have the "fresh mint" taste as proclaimed on the bottle. I rinsed with water and mouthwash -and- still couldn't get that taste out of my mouth! Throughtout the day, I felt nauseated and occassionally could still taste it. First AND last time, I use that stuff!
So, me being me, I go online to read up on it and found all THESE negative comments! Some of them aren't very pretty. Yuck.
I worked on putting Quaker Cube together over the weekend. I had a mishap where *somehow* I spilled spaghetti sauce on the corner of one of the cube sides. I didn't find out until this morning. Sooooo... I frantically spent my morning trying to get the stain out. Talk about disheartening!
The weather is finally nice enough so I could go buy flowers for my planters and hanging baskets. Here's what I came home with:
I wanted to plant Mums around the base of the lamp post in the front yard. At the last minute, I decided I wanted to create a flower bed around it THEN plant the Mums. I'm still not sure I like it, but it'll do for this year.
Last year, on my way to work I saw a sign at the curb: "Forsynthia - Free" I turned my car around and went back and got what was the equivalent of a 1/2 palm of roots. I thought "What the heck" and planted them in 2-gallon pots I had. They started to grow last summer and I wintered them in my garage. Here's what they look like now:
This is just one mound of Periwinkle, I got from a Freecycler last year:
Friday was a strange day for Ghosts of BF's Past! First, I get a text from XBF from 5 years ago telling how much he missed me. I responded by saying I was seeing someone. Flood gates opened, and berages of texts came from him about how great I am, deserve the best, how we could talk on the phone and be friends like before, how much he cares for me, yadda, yadda, yadda. I ignored them all.
Then... I received a text from S (BF from almost 2 years ago) asking if I wanted to go garage saling with him. What?! I responded back "No, I have plans". Then he texted me: "So do I" LOL, sure he did... That's why he was asking me to hang out with him.
Geesh... What is the problem with these guys that they don't get the hint?! 2-5 years is P-L-E-N-T-Y of time to go away. It's not like I encourage them! As a matter of fact, I've told XBF5 not to text me. Obviously, he doesn't listen.
On to better things.....
I'm sure there are a few of you chomping at the bit, waiting for the next installment re: the "new guy". He's still as thoughtful and considerate as ever! He's told his Mom about me and showed her photos I sent him via cell phone. I showed my BFF his photo and her response was: "He's HOT!" LOL -- Yeah, he's a good looking guy, all right. And he's good on the inside, too. So what did we do this week?
Wed: We had plans to grill dinner at my house after I got done with tutoring. Mother Nature didn't cooperate and rained on our parade. "New guy" suggested he take me out, instead. Who's gonna argue with that? Not me!
Fri: He invited me to his house (my first time) and cooked dinner for me. Grilled butterfly pork chops... Yumm. He even "suffered" through two episodes of "Wife Swap". It was very enlightening seeing his reactions to how different couples ran their households.
Sat: I invited him to see a play at the community theater with me, which was pretty good. Not as comical as the last one I saw, but still had it's funny parts. Oh, he took me out to dinner before the play. We ate way too much!
He still opens doors for me and allows me to enter first. He is very observant and tries to make sure I'm comfortable. Lots of good conversations about life issues. He calls and texts daily. The comfort level is such like we've known each other a long time. He's even made plans for us to go to a comedy show at the end of JULY!
For Mother's Day (no, I'm not a mother.. LOL) -- He bought me a planter of Hens and Chicks. I had been looking at them when I bought my flowers, but didn't get any.
When I got in his car for the play, I didn't see a box on the seat and sat on it. So I moved it to the console, and he gave it back to me. LOL (Apparently, it was for me) It was the other part of my Mother's Day gift:

Humans responsible for spreading bee killing virus: Study
London: Humans are responsible for the spread of a virus that is killing global bee populations, a new research has found.
The populations of European honeybee called Apis mellifera is the prime source of the Deformed Wing Virus, and human trade and transportation of bees for crop pollination is driving its spread, according to researchers at Britain's University of Exeter and UC Berkeley.
Although separately they are not major threats to bee populations, when the Varroa mite carries the disease, the combination is deadly, and has wiped out millions of honeybees over recent decades. Varroa feed on bee larvae while the Deformed Wing Virus kills off bees – a devastating double blow to colonies.
"This is the first study to conclude that Europe is the backbone of the global spread of the bee killing combination of Deformed Wing Virus and Varroa," said study lead author Lena Wilfert from the University of Exeter.
"This demonstrates that the spread of this combination is largely manmade. If the spread was naturally occurring, we would expect to see transmission between countries that are close to each other, but we found that, for example, the New Zealand virus population originated in Europe," Wilfert added.
Researchers said that moving animals and plants around the world could have devastating consequences both for domestic animals and for wildlife.
"The risk of introducing viruses or other pathogens is just one of many potential dangers," said Roger Butlin, professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Sheffield.
The study findings were recently published in the journal Science.

Definition of bash
- media bashing
- celebrity bashing
- That is exactly what I tell myself as I bash away in the gym …
- —Jay Rayner
- … I'm a lot less sure about what I'm meant to be, or do, in a time of undeniable middle age. I guess I will just bash on as ever, and hope I don't appear too ridiculous as I do so.
- —Becky Sheaves
- Three years ago Piaggio disappointed enthusiasts by axing the retro Vespa's production. But Indian company LML continued to bash out copies that flew out of the dealers, especially in Italy …
- —Harriet Ridley
- Umpires being lampooned or even bashed up [=beaten up] in schools, college and league cricket is hardly rare.

In recent times, cardiology is in news for coronary stents price. We are seeing numerous articles in the newspaper and social media. Even we are seeing posters on roads stating 85% reduction in stent prices by our political party leaders. This looks more like a political stunt.
I do agree some stents were overpriced. At the same, a lot of stents were cheaper. Most commonly used stents were cheaper ones around INR 18000 to patients. This is because in India (Karnataka) we have plenty of government schemes meant for BPL and also APL card holder. The total package for them is 65000 to 75000 INR including stent and angioplasty procedure.
High top end expensive stents were used for VIPs and those patients who wished state of art treatment. Now these may become unavailable in Indian market
Price reduction of coronary stents
This new rule has capped MRP of all drug-eluting stents to not more than INR 31000. Thus does not want to differentiate between the various generation of drug-eluting stents. In consequence, top end stents like premier, alpine, synergy, expedition and bioabsorbable scaffolds are being pulled back from Indian market leaving only older stents.
Newer top end stents were easily trackable, had a lesser incidence of restenosis. They also had a lesser need of tablets as compared to older stents.
Price reduction and poor patients
Stents for poor BPL patients were already being given at, lower price around 18000 INR and this rule will actually the harm this.
According to a new rule, stents can not have MRP more than 31000 INR. The total profit margin from the production company to a patient can not exceed more than 8%.
In this stent business, stent damage while using and expire due to needing odd sizes is very common. If the profit margin is very much slim, otherwise cheaper stents will become more expensive or disappear from the Indian market after cooling period of six months. There will be no distributors to market the cheaper stents.
This low-profit margin will prohibit prize reduction of future incoming stents also burdening our poor patients. Truthfully speaking we were able to treat poor patients(BPL) with angioplasty because stents were available at cheaper rate i,e around 18000. If these stents become unavailable then main sufferers are BPL patients.
When poor patients were actually being treated with cheaper stents. what is the benefit of the ceiling the MRP for a stent and the fixing percent profit.
Is this just to please medical insurance companies?
Hospitals were sustaining angioplasty package of INR 65000 along with stents because they were able to recover from rich patients. If the government, induces an increase in the prize of cheaper stents, reduces profit from the rich patient. Further, passes a rule of increase in minimum labour wages how should hospital sustain?
Implication of stent price reduction for affording patients
Now on affording patients have to get satisfied with older stents only. Because newer stents and those in the pipeline will not reach Indian market.
The cardiologist may find it difficult to treat more complex lesions as older stents are harder and difficult to negotiate through complex lesions this may even increase complication rate.
Loss of employment and difficult supply chain
Is angioplasty really expensive for poor patients in India
Before passing any rule please note that cardiologists are doing angioplasty for BPL patient at just 65000 INR. And in Karnataka, 80% of citizens have BPL card and also APL other schemes make this to nearly 100% where packages rates do not cross 70000 INR.
The amount of investment for each cath lab in India is to tune of 2.8 crores to 4.5 crores this excluding building cost. I do not want to go into details of the economics of cath labs and angioplasty in this article. I may write an article in future.
New innovation and cost
The medical field is continuously evolving one, what is considered state of art today or last year may find itself getting replaced by newer technology in coming years.
When new technology arrives it is more often expensive. With newer innovation current or older technology becomes cheaper or totally replaced by newer technology. So, any new innovation has limited time scope in terms of economics.
We have to understand that before delivering any technology huge amount of money is invested in inventing it.
- It is unwise to equate all stents.
- Already existing cheaper stents will become more expensive. This will harm poor patients.
- Newer top end stents will disappear from the Indian market.
- Only medical insurance companies will benefit from this new rule.
- We are not respecting newer innovations.

CVTC is here to help you heal.
Whether you were hurt yesterday, last year, or when you were a child, we're here to help. Click here to learn more about our services, and to find more information about some of the things we help with.
Since 1977, The Crime Victims Treatment Center has been helping survivors of interpersonal violence heal. Our support comes in the forms of crisis intervention, individual and group trauma-focused therapy, legal advocacy, complementary therapy and psychiatric consultation. We are available from the moments following an assault, all the way through the culmination of a survivor's healing process. All of our services are confidential and completely free of charge.
"I have joy and hope in my life now that I never even thought I deserved."
Shar | CVTC client
CVTC's Mission
CVTC is a not-for-profit organization committed to helping people heal from violent crime.
We respect that healing comes in many forms and recognize the importance of a holistic approach. CVTC provides a wide range of therapeutic services free of charge to anyone impacted by violence. We are dedicated to advocacy on behalf of survivors, collaboration with partners across a multitude of disciplines, and training for those who work with survivors. We are committed to changing cultural norms around violence and promoting social justice through progressive legislation and community mobilization.
In the middle of a bright summer day in 1977 a violent rape occurred on the campus of Columbia University in Morningside Heights. Witnesses called an ambulance, which took the young woman to the Emergency Department of St. Luke's Hospital. When she got there, the medical staff was at a loss; her physical injuries were manageable, but psychologically she was devastated. The doctors transferred her to the Psychiatric Emergency Department, not knowing what else to do. Soon after her medical treatment was completed, she was discharged. She left Columbia, and was never heard from again.
The community was outraged.
Within a day, an Emergency Department social worker, an ED administrator, a doctor, and several members of the Upper West Side community sat down to address the neighborhood crisis. A steering committee was formed, protocols were developed, and a promise was made that never again would a survivor of sexual assault be treated that way at St. Luke's Hospital.
The Crime Victims Treatment Center was born.

These are my favorite signs to put in your home for guests to connect to your Wi-Fi. Our password is long and complicated so I think it's much easier to show someone this sign verses telling them what the password is.
I want to apologize if my blog post from yesterday offended anyone. I didn't mean to insult anyone about the different stages of being in our 20s as I see them. I was simply trying to say that the different stages have become more apparent to me as of lately. I was more referencing that 10 years ago, we were all at the exact same stages in life. All of us were graduating from high school or becoming seniors. We were all on the same path and now our paths are different. Not bad, not unsupported, just different. I support and love each of my friends in every stage of their lives and I know they all support my husband and I's decisions. Again I apologize if anyone was offended by my words.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

The eBay Commerce Network originally started out as Dealtime.com, which eBay acquired in 2005 for $620 million. eBay then rebranded Dealtime as Shopping.com, which really was the beginning of the eBay Commerce Network (ECN) in 2013.
Today, the eBay Commerce Network spans multiple websites beyond just Shopping.com, including eBay.com, CNET, Consumer Reports, and ShopStyle. In fact, Shopping.com accounts for less than 5% of the total eBay Commerce Network traffic.
The largest source of traffic from the eBay Commerce Network is eBay.com, and the ads (shown above) look very similar to Google Shopping PLAs. They are triggered on the bottom of eBay.com search results pages with the heading Sponsored Links, and are called eBay Product Ads.
eBay Commerce Network is an excellent channel (or really group of CSE channels) to try to drive more sales to your website.

Mountain Hardwear Intention 75
I love this pack, and actually got a great deal on…
Price Paid: $120
I love this pack, and actually got a great deal on it. $120 clearance, compared to the $300 usual. Great features: extending top for extra room, detachable pack on front for small hikes, side entry, top entry, deep compartments and sealed zippers.
Cons: bad water bottle carriers (this seems like a minute detail, but they cannot fit tall water bottles).
I will say, it has been an awesome pack, and can hold a week's load if you pack light, however, if you're going to carry a sleeping bag, you better use down in a compression sack. The sleeping bag compartment is on the smaller side, and my synthetic bag is a tight fit.

Moo-ving people toward compassionate living

|Wishful Thinking
From Ms. Lopez - 5 Apr 2008
I just came across your website and I am truly outraged and disturbed at
how "we" as people can
continuously allow this to occur.
Animals such as seals and dolphins have as much of a right to live as
cats and dogs and this cruelty should be punishable by law. Is there not
something being done to save these animal's lives?
Why can't we (or dare I say, the government) stop this? What is wrong
with these barbaric people? God made animals not only to help heal, but to
also be appreciated and loved.
Ms. Lopez
Dear Ms. Lopez:
Thank you for writing and expressing your concern.
Many of us are working to expose this and other atrocities committed
against animals and move public opinion to force an end to the carnage.
The major obstacle behind the baby seal slaughter is the Canadian
government, which is behind the killing and protects the killers with their
Coast Guard.
Please help by telling as many other people as you can and by referring them to our web site so that they can see for themselves.
In the Love of the Lord,
Frank and Mary

At their first-ever statewide assembly, Kentucky's local boards of health voted for his or her state association to adopt a legislative platform aimed at modernizing the state's public health programs with a purpose to enhance Kentucky's general health. Our eleven 12 months outdated Dachshund lost his sight about a year ago and though he bumps into issues at times he knows PRECISELY where his meals bowl, water bowl and canine house is. His scent and listening to has improved to compensate for the sight. He also follows his different two dachshund brother in all places. And amazingly he is still the alpha male! The other two canine respect him just the same and boy he hasn't misplaced his angle! Oh yes and he positively barks much more now.
I additionally wouldn't take the 'do not require HCE' literally. Just because they do not require it does not imply they don't like it! More aggressive candidates with extra HCE will likely get accepted. I would not threat applying with out HCE (especially due to costs to apply). Good luck! With standard medical docs not addressing their patient's vitamin plus the unhealthy drive to reduce a affected person's cholesterol…..a patient's physique retains decaying and as an extra bonus…..cholesterol medicine reduces a healing substance the body produces….that was designed by nature to heal us. So the dangerous food retains piling into the mouth and one of many physique's defense techniques is shut off by the statin treatment. Good. Bravo.

Symphonies and overtures are mainly taken from the Classical and Romantic periods, though we have also delved into Baroque and 20th Century too.

Stakeholder and societal tolerance of risk has rapidly diminished. Reputation damage can quickly follow when communities, politicians, interest groups or society at large are 'outraged' by a perceived new or recurring risk that they believe is being imposed upon them by an organisation or sector.
Issues from shale gas extraction to GM foods, nuclear decommissioning to mobile phone mast placement all require careful communication to people and groups who perceive – rightly or wrongly – that they are being exposed to a risk. Risk communication happens on a smaller scale too; asbestos discoveries and industrial emissions for example.
Risk communication is a specialist discipline in which Regester Larkin by Deloitte has much experience. The basic premises of risk communication are that perceived risk is as important as real risk and that perceptions of risk are emotional rather than rational. Risk communication strategies target perceived risks attached to an issue or situation and aims to restore rationality by addressing emotional responses.
Many of the issues that we support organisations with involve an aspect of communicating risk. We understand the dynamics of risk, have a deep knowledge of how stakeholders such as activist groups and politicians work, and we know how to develop narratives that explain even the most complex technical and scientific information to a sceptical and concerned audience.

12. The Mount, Estate of Edith Wharton
Photo by Jane Hu Photography
The Mount, located in Lenox Massachusetts, was the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Edith Wharton (Age of Innocence) after she was married. She designed the home and gardens with architect Ogden Codman, Jr., and the two co-wrote the book The Decoration of Houses. Wharton was born to a Gilded Age elite New York City family but, in a very modern way, created her own career as a female writer, a story well-chronicled in the book The Brave Escape of Edith Wharton. Following the breakdown of her marriage and a divorce, she moved to Paris. She would live out the rest of her life, garnering a Chevalier Legion of Honor for her volunteer work and brave journeys to report from the front line of World War I.
After changing hands several times (at some point, it was used as a school as well), The Mount was rescued from significant deterioration and restored by the non-profit, Edith Wharton Restoration, Inc. You can visit the house in the summer months and even host your wedding here.
