Glossary of Nanotechnology and nanoscale science and technology terms.
The second edition of this text catches the specialty of anesthesia at what will probably prove to be the apex of its influence and recognition amongst the specialties of medicine. The scientific basis of the specialty is becoming increasingly well delineated. Anesthesiologists have established themselves in local, regional, and national forums as spokespersons not only for the specialty, but also for medicine in general. And the specialty at last may be emerging from the stereotype of a faceless, inarticulate, shy and retiring figure, whose outstanding characteristic was the cloying odor of diethel ether! Technology has moved into the specialty on seven league boots. Just as an example, the basic design of the anesthesia machine was stable between the early 1950s and certainly the late 1970s. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, our anesthesia machines are becoming intelligent, are utilizing heads-up displays, and are becoming more and more capable of writing the anesthesia record. Monitoring standards for anesthesia have burgeoned to the point that almost every aspect of the specialty is impinged upon by some rule and some "thou will or thou will not. " The importation and creation of terminology is exploding. In fact, one of the problems in updating this book was deciding when to stop. The author hopes that the goal of creating a snapshot in time through definitions of commonly used words and phrases has been achieved.

A Sneaker On My Pillow is a collection of short, motivational essays, with applications for both business and everyday life. Some are informational, while others are life-lessons, often told through anecdotal and autobiographical stories. Ralph Yourie draws upon a lifetime of experience, as a manager, sailor, husband and father, to provide readers with his own unique perspectives. It doesn't matter if you are a CEO or a mailroom clerk; this book will enlighten, inspire, educate and amuse. qWith A Sneaker on My Pillow, Ralph Yourie has not only made a valuable contribution to the world of business, but demonstrates how we might get along better with one another in just about every aspect of life. He understands and respects his customers, colleagues and fellow humans and seeks to smooth the way for us by sharing lessons he's learned in his many years of management. The connections he draws between business and the rest of life delight and surprise, and his advice is so sensible, one wishes he'd run for president -- or at least move in next door.

Our kids trick us, don't they? They pop into the world with an insatiable appetite to hear our voices. They train us to talk, sing and read to them, over and over until we become oh-so-well trained.
But then, somewhere along the parenting journey, they change the rules. No longer do they delight in our babbling or celebrate our singing. They tune us out just when we so desperately want to tune in.
Welcome to the ever-changing world of parenting.
What the Heck is Going On?
What's happening is natural. Our kids are maturing and taking important steps to begin the process of establishing a healthy amount of independence. The problem is that they are still kids that need our guidance and input. But they don't think they do, so they don't listen. And what do we do in return?
We lecture – at lengths, because we think if we go on and on, eventually some of our words will sink in.
The reality? We become like the cartoon character's dialogue of "blah, blah, blah, blah and blah."
We lecture, and no one listens, but worst of all, our important lines of communication with our children begin to break down.
Listen More, Lecture Less
Every child expert I've spoken to has said that as children get older, we need to listen more and lecture less. "Listen 80 percent of the time," is the advice I've heard many times.
Ask questions, for sure, but be careful not to turn every conversation into a game of 20 Questions. Just listen, absorb and occasionally respond with a sincere, "I love hearing what you think about things." Children and teenagers will value that, even if they don't tell you so.
Keep This Rule in Your Back Pocket
My personal technique for communicating with older kids is something I refer to as the "30 Second Rule," and in all honesty, I think it's been one of the most effective communication tools I use – when I feel the need to lecture, I limit it to 30 seconds.
I make my point, and then I ask them to think about it and circle back with me. Sound crazy? Here's my step-by-step process:
Step 1: Introduction
When I feel the need to preach to my kids, I introduce the talk with, "I need 30 seconds to share something with you that's been on my mind. Is your head in a good place to listen?"
The interesting thing is that my kids almost always want me to keep talking when I introduce a topic like this. I'm showing them respect and telling them that their participation in this is important. It works.
Step 2: The 30-Second Lecture
I make my point (being sure to have practiced it or thought it through ahead of time). Is 30 seconds the magic number? Of course not. Just be brief, and close by saying, "Okay, that's what I wanted you to know. I want to hear your thoughts later today when you're ready to talk."
Step 3: Follow Up
Your kids may surprise you by wanting to continue the discussion immediately. If not, then honor your promise to keep it brief, then change the subject. But circle back later in the day to give them a chance to share their thoughts. And remember to listen 80 percent of the time! The key is to find a path to start a conversation. If you're successful with that, you're well on your way to opening strong lines of communication.

TNT picks up three series
Steven Spielberg-produced alien invasion drama among themTNT is aggressively stoking its original-series pipeline.
The cable network Thursday picked up to series all three of its pilots: the Steven Spielberg-produced alien-invasion drama starring Noah Wyle; the George Clooney-produced "Delta Blues," starring Jason Lee; and "Rizzoli & Isles," starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander.
The trio has received orders for 10 episodes, including the pilot. "Blues" and "Rizzoli" are targeted for launch this year; the untitled alien-invasion series, which requires a longer postproduction process because of special effects, will premiere in 2011.
The moves come on the heels of TNT renewing the freshman dramas "Men of a Certain Age," "Dark Blue" and "Hawthorne" and picking up the NBC cop drama "Southland."
TNT head of programming Michael Wright said he didn't expect to pick up all three pilots in the current cycle to series, but "if it works and is going to improve the performance of the network, we thought let's find a way to do it."
The alien-invasion project, written by Robert Rodat from an idea he conceived with Spielberg, stars Wyle as the leader of a rag-tag group of soldiers and civilians struggling against an occupying alien force. Moon Bloodgood, Jessy Schram, Seychelle Gabriel and Maxim Knight co-star.
DreamWorks TV is producing the project, with Spielberg, Rodat, Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank executive producing. Carl Franklin directed the pilot.
It marks TNT's first foray into si-fi/adventure series.
"We want to challenge ourselves and our audience to expand our horizons while concentrating on what's working for us -- character-based, populist-themed dramas," Wright said.
The hourlong "Blues," from Clooney and Grant Heslov's Smokehouse Pictures and Warner Horizon, centers on Dwight Hendricks (Lee), a Memphis police officer who lives with his mother (Celia Weston) and moonlights as a musician.
The pilot, written by Liz Garcia and Joshua Harto and directed by Clark Johnson, co-starred Alfre Woodard, Abraham Benrubi and DJ Qualls. Clooney, Heslov, Garcia and Johnson are executive producers, with Henry Bronchtein and Abby Wolf-Weiss co-executive producing and Harto producing.
Based on Tess Gerritsen's mystery novels, "Rizzoli," from Warner Horizon, revolves around the crime-solving team of Boston police detective Jane Rizzoli (Harmon) and medical examiner Maura Isles (Alexander).
The cast of the crime procedural, written by Janet Tamaro, includes Lorraine Bracco and Bruce McGill. Tamaro is executive producing the series with Bill Haber. Michael M. Robin helmed the pilot.
While "Blues" and "Rizzoli" are compatible with TNT's core lineup of original and off-network crime procedurals that run weeknights, the alien-invasion series might end up airing during the weekend, paired with the network's telecasts of features in the same action-adventure genre.

Did you know, according to a recent press release by Career Builder, almost half of employers say they know if a job candidate is a good fit within the first five minutes and almost all of them say they know within 15 minutes. Fortunately, they also gave a list of some of the most common mistakes people make in an interview and I wanted to share them so that you can avoid doing the same.
10 Most Common Major Interview Mistakes
- Appearing disinterested
- Dressing inappropriately
- Appearing arrogant
- Talking negatively about current or previous employers
- Answering a cell phone or texting during the interview
- Appearing uninformed about the company or role
- Not providing specific examples
- Not asking good questions
- Providing too much personal information
- Asking the hiring manager personal questions
10 Most Common Body Language Mistakes
- Failure to make eye contact
- Failure to smile
- Bad posture
- Fidgeting too much in one's seat
- Playing with something on the table
- Handshake that is too weak
- Crossing one's arms over one's chest
- Playing with one's hair or touching one's face
- Using too many hand gestures
- Handshake that is too strong
That's a lot of things to avoid doing, and over-thinking it can just make it worse. So, what's an interviewee to do? Well, "employers want to see confidence and genuine interest in the position," said Rosemary Haefner, Vice President of Human Resources at CareerBuilder. "The interview is not only an opportunity to showcase your skills, but also to demonstrate that you're the type of person people will want to work with. Going over common interview questions, researching the company, and practicing with a friend or family member can help you feel more prepared, give you a boost in confidence, and help calm your nerves." Don't worry too much. I doubt you'll do anything as ummm....interesting as the candidates below did.
Most Memorable Real Interview Mistakes
- Applicant warned the interviewer that she "took too much valium" and didn't think her interview was indicative of her personality
- Applicant acted out a Star Trek role
- Applicant answered a phone call for an interview with a competitor
- Applicant arrived in a jogging suit because he was going running after the interview
- Applicant asked for a hug
- Applicant attempted to secretly record the interview
- Applicant brought personal photo albums
- Applicant called himself his own personal hero
- Applicant checked Facebook during the interview
- Applicant crashed her car into the building
- Applicant popped out his teeth when discussing dental benefits
- Applicant kept her iPod headphones on during the interview
- Applicant set fire to the interviewer's newspaper while reading it when the interviewer said "impress me"
- Applicant said that he questioned his daughter's paternity
- Applicant wanted to know the name and phone number of the receptionist because he really liked her

Boundaries. We hear advice all the time to "set boundaries" for ourselves with loved ones, with friends, with our work, basically with everything. And generally speaking, most people will nod in agreement at the importance of boundary setting. But do you truly understand
You are not being punished. You are not being put through some series of great tests and challenges because God wants to make you stronger. Each of us is living in a world, a country, a family, and a body, that is designed EXACTLY to meet the needs of our soul.
Grace and Flow
Dream. Bend. SEE.
A heart healed, a soul emerged.
One of the huge mistakes people make is that they try to force an interest on themselves. You don't choose your passions, your passions choose you. Jeff Bezos

Does believing in Christ mean refusing to ask hard questions in the midst of doubt?
Doubt is familiar territory for Lee Strobel, the former atheist and award-winning author of books for skeptics and Christians. But he believes that faith and reason go hand in hand, and that Christianity is a defensible religion.
In this six-session revised small group Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Strobel explores the most common emotional obstacles to faith in Christ. These include the natural inclination to wrestle with faith and doubt, the troubling presence of evil and suffering in the world, and the exclusivity of the Christian gospel. They also include this compelling question: Can I doubt and be a Christian?
Through compelling personal stories and experts testimony combined with reflection and interaction, Christians and spiritual seekers will learn how to overcome these obstacles, deepen their spiritual convictions, and find new confidence that Christianity is a reasonable faith.
Sessions include:
- The Challenge of Faith
- Dealing with Doubt
- Evil and Suffering, Part 1
- Evil and Suffering, Part 2
- Why Is Jesus the Only Way to God?
- The Power of Faith

Avazu Inc. is a global leader of mobile & PC digital advertising, a global mobile games and apps distribution platform. Established in 2009 in Germany, Avazu had its headquarters set up in Shanghai China the same year. With offices in Amsterdam, Berlin, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Brunei and most recently Los Angeles, Avazu is collaborating with over 500 of the largest international advertising clients. Avazu Holding consists of three business units: Avazu Inc, a global cross-device performance advertising company with proprietary technologies for programmatic advertising; Teebik, a global game and app publisher; aFund, a strategic investment arm focusing on seed- to early-stage startups.
Ralph Sas is the CEO Avazu Europe and USA and has lead the international expansion of Avazu into multiple global markets over the last 18 months. We caught up with him to hear more about the Avazu mDSP product which has been making waves in the mobile media buying space plus find out about the launch of their latest office in LA.
Avazu has launched it's Mobile DSP 6 months ago – can you tell us some more about it?
Avazu Mobile DSP is a complete self-serve programmatic mobile advertising platform, which provides more convenience and a transparent marketing solution; it enables advertisers and buyers to start campaigns in just 5 minutes. Avazu mDSP is our latest proprietary product, and we keep on improving it since the launch. We currently see a continued rise in satisfied clients who are allocating more and more budget to us.
What does Avazu bring to the mobile DSP space that's been missing from the market so far?
As a product+technology driven company, Avazu has always been trying to provide our clients the best products/services.
Based on our marketing research and our clients' reviews, Avazu mDSP is one of the best Mobile DSPs that provides the most useful features, as well as an easy-to-use interface. There are 5 reasons why we are different and why advertisers and agencies use our product:
- 100% self-serve: you do not need any help from our AMs, from creating account to view your campaign reporting. You don't even have to learn before you start, the interface is simple, yet powerful. That being said, we also provide a comprehensive knowledge base and dedicatedAccount Managers, who are able to help you 24/7.
- Extensive Transparent Traffic: over 25 Billion ad impression are available each day on Avazu mDSP now. You can easily explore and target specific placements within our platform.
- Real-time Reporting and One-Click Optimization: our reports are updated real time, and you can check your reports directly in the interface. What is even more convenient for the user is that you can optimize your campaigns directly when viewing campaign reports with one simple click, instead of going back to editing your campaigns as necessary in similar systems.
- Performance based Optimization: our cutting-edge machine learning engines enable the user to bid in different modes, which will drive your campaigns to reach your goals automatically. Besides, we are also offering our clients a tool named Automated Rules, which can be used to optimize your campaigns automatically based on the rules you have set.
- More features and frequent product updates: Avazu mDSP has supported all the necessary targeting options you need, include hyperlocal targeting, in which you are able to target on specific areas you have chosen on the map. We also provide a white-label solution for agencies or networks, which we believe is going to bring in a lot of new clients especially from our new LA office where the focus will be bringing in agencies in the automotive, consumer electronics and of course entertainment verticals.
New features are introduced to our users every week. We just released our native ads campaign option, which enables our clients to buy native traffic from our partners including MoPub, PubNative, MobFox and Smaato. If you are interested in our self-serve platforms, just visit our website : http://avazumdsp.com/home/
What types of clients are using the DSP so far and what types of campaigns are seeing the best results
We are working with both performance and branding advertisers, stand alone media buyers, networks and media agencies. At the moment we're seeing excellent performance in app downloads, mobile content and the gaming vertical.
You're in the process of opening an LA office- what brings you to the market there?
We've seen a substantial growth in West Coast customers for both our APX and DSP platforms since we opened up our EU offices, but due to the 9 hour time difference between Europe and the West Coast it's almost impossible to manage these clients properly, therefor a local presence was needed.
We're opening up on the 16th of June in the old Pinterest office in Venice Beach. We've of course looked into both SF and LA as our local starting ground but choose LA over SF due to the prosperous environment and booming growth of business and the presence of big media agencies in the "Silicon Beach" area. We also believe that Venice Beach is a better fit to our company culture.
Are you recruiting for the LA office and what types of people are you looking for?
We're in the middle of recruiting and just had our first 2 positions filled, we still have several openings we want to fill the coming weeks, most importantly are mDSP Sales Director, Global Pay Per Call Manager and several Business Development and Affiliate Managers.
We're looking for experienced and highly motivated professionals who are able to help set up, grow and manage our complete US operations and build the office to a strong steady player on all of our platforms while maintaining our reputation and expanding our verticals. Next to that, we're always looking for talent to join our European and Asian offices most of our current openings are found here : http://avazuinc.com/openrecruit/

Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov was in Nicosia yesterday for meetings with Cyprus' political leadership. Lavrov is a frequent visitor to the island and once again his trip was successful and demonstrated the excellent relations that exist between Cyprus and Russia.
Both the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation have always supported Cyprus against the designs of Turkey, Britain and the USA to partition the island and this support has often proved vital in the UN Security Council where Russia, and increasingly China (the Chinese ambassador to Nicosia speaks perfect Greek), has time and again blocked, and even vetoed, pro-Turkish Anglo-American resolutions and initiatives.
Cyprus' financial services sector has also greatly benefited from the large number of Russian companies registered on the island, taking advantage of the tax breaks on offer in Cyprus, making Cyprus, with $31.8bn of accumulated investment, the second largest investor in the Russian economy.
This happy arrangement has spawned a considerable Russian community in Cyprus – maybe up to 40,000 strong – particularly in Limassol, and an estimated 200,000 Russian tourists visit the island every year.
There are also strong cultural bonds between Russia and Cyprus. Not only are both countries Christian Orthodox but because of Cyprus' traditionally large communist party, AKEL, thousands of Cypriots benefited from Soviet higher education and are fluent Russian speakers and Russophiles.
Indeed, one of Lavrov's purposes in visiting Cyprus yesterday was to present to former minister of communications and works, Haris Thrasou, and Moscow-educated AKEL general secretary, president of the Cyprus House of Representatives and candidate – and likely victor – in next February's Cypriot presidential elections, Dimitris Christofias, with the Alexander Pushkin medal, awarded to those who promote the use of the Russian language and friendly relations with Russia.
While in Cyprus, Lavrov criticised the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-Moon, and his six-monthly report on Cyprus, released last week, which again called on the international community to end the 'isolation' of the Turkish Cypriots.
Now, of course, the cause of the 'isolation' of the Turkish Cypriots is the occupation of northern Cyprus by 40,000 Turkish troops, which Ban's report made no mention of – nor did it mention the 200,000 Greek Cypriot refugees ethnically cleansed from northern Cyprus by Turkey in 1974 and 'isolated' from their homes and land for more than 30 years; oversights, omissions and disregard of existing and long-standing UN resolutions which prompted Lavrov to say yesterday he hopes in Ban's next report to the Security Council the secretary general will reflect 'the real situation' on the island and mention, among other things, the constructive approach of President Tassos Papadopoulos to the so-called Gambari process for a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem, and the many initiatives of the Cyprus government aimed at supporting the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot community.
Lavrov was also in Cyprus to shore up Cyprus' opposition to recognition of Albanian nationalist efforts to detach Kosovo from the rest of Serbia, a matter on the EU agenda this week.
Cyprus is touchy about secessionist entities achieving international recognition – given Turkey's concerted campaign to gain recognition for its puppet occupation regime in northern Cyprus, the so-called 'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus' – and is holding out against any EU approval of Kosovo secession before an appropriate UN Security Council resolution.
European newspapers reported yesterday that, of the 27 EU member-states, Cyprus was the only one against an agreement to recognise Kosovo secession; but this targeting of Cyprus seems to be based on statements made by Swedish foreign minister, Carl Bildt, who, over the last few months, has become Turkey's and the Turkish occupation regime in northern Cyprus' most ardent cheerleader in the EU.
(Last June, for example, Bildt took the provocative step of inviting the leader of the occupation regime in northern Cyprus, Mehmet Ali Talat, for talks in Stockholm, since when Bildt has been persistently mouthing off about the EU needing to 'do more to live up to its commitment to end the isolation of the Turkish Cypriots' – 'ending the isolation of the Turkish Cypriots' is code to the Cyprus government for legitimisation and indirect recognition of the occupation regime).
Not surprisingly, relations between Cyprus and Sweden are at all-time low, culminating last week with Papadopoulos, fed up with Bildt, implying that the Swedish foreign minister's outbursts and interference did not reflect the official Swedish government position on Cyprus; a comment which so offended Bildt that he cancelled the planned 18 December visit to Stockholm of his Cypriot counterpart, Erato Markoulli.
(Apparently, Bildt's increasing animosity towards Cyprus has been fuelled by Cypriot newspaper reports pointing out his prominent role in George Soros' Turkophile Bilderberg Group and the Swede's extensive business interests in Turkey).
Anyway, Cypriot government spokesman, Vasillis Palmas, denied that Cyprus was out on a limb in the EU in opposing Kosovo secession and said that Italy, Spain, Greece, Romania and Slovakia also had strong reservations about precipitately approving the Albanian move.

Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Prick sausages with a fork and place in a large skillet then add 1-inch of water to the pan. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil to the pan then bring water up to a boil then reduce the heat to medium. Let the sausages cook until the liquid evaporates 10 minutes. Work on the corn cakes, see below. Move the sausages off to 1 side of the pan to allow the casings to crisp and brown. Add peppers to the other side of the pan, season with salt and pepper and let them cook until just tender. Add hot peppers to sweet peppers and combine and douse the pan with a splash of pepper juice, just before you serve them.
For the cakes, combine muffin mix with egg and 2 tablespoons of the butter ¿ heat it in the microwave on high for 15 seconds, with the milk, rosemary, chopped prosciutto and a few grinds of black pepper. Rub the griddle with remaining butter nested in a paper towel to lightly coat the cooking surface. Form 6 small cakes, 2 to 3 inches and cook cakes until golden on each side, then repeat with remaining mixture.
Serve sausages with peppers on top and the cakes alongside drizzled with honey.

I love blondies! This recipe is basically a delicious chocolate chip cookie dough (with a little extra pure vanilla extract) and baked in a 13×9-inch baking pan. There is something here for everyone because after it is cooled, the middle sinks and is chewy and gooey and the edges are slightly crunchy and sandy. Amazing!
Chocolate Chip Blondies
2 sticks (8 oz. total) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
2 large eggs
2 cups white all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (12 oz.) chocolate chips mixed with 1 heaping tablespoon white all-purpose flour (to prevent the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom of the cookie)
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly spray a 13×9-inch baking pan with non-stick spray and flour lightly. Or spray with "Baker's Joy" spray – which is my preferred method.
In a large bowl mix together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar and white granulated sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.
Next add the pure vanilla extract and instant coffee granules. Stir to combine.
Add in the 2 large eggs, one at a time, stirring with each addition.
Next add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt. Stir until every trace of flour has disappeared – being careful not to over-mix.
Finally, add in the flour coated chocolate chips, and gently fold into the batter.
Place batter in prepared pan, even out the dough and smooth out the top.
Place in preheated oven for exactly 31 minutes.
Remove and allow to cool slightly before cutting.

As of 01/10/2007, Blogger has completely moved to a new version of their system. If you are on MacOSX, please download version 2.4.2, which is also linked to in this blog's sidebar. Version 2.4.2 works with the new Blogger. I recommend setting up a new account in ecto for your Blogger Beta and using:
as the access point. That way you can copy over your older drafts without risking losing them. Note that you will have to use your Google login (the email and password you use to log into Blogger Beta).
Since my focus is on ecto3, I did not have time or feel the need to implement into ecto2 support for both Blogger Beta's Atom and it's proprietary authentication method and the older Atom 0.3, which that has different a format and authentication methods. ecto3 approaches blog system support differently and will not have this issue. If you require the old Atom support, please download ecto2atom03.dmg.
Version 2.4.2 also updates support for del.icio.us and fixes one bug with preview. This is the last bug fix release as I continue work on version 3. This work is progressing nicely, but since this is not my day-job, the speed of progress is not as fast as I would like it to be.

It is not wise to blame non-Muslims for the condition of Muslims today. Today, Muslims have made
the Quran as a ceremonial
By Gohar Mushtaq
Today, the Muslim ummah (nation) is passing through a critical stage in history. The decline of the Muslim nation has reached its lowest ebb. There are various reasons for it. Sheikh ul-Hind, Maulana Mahmood ul Hasan (died in 1922 C.E.), who was imprisoned in the Island of Malta by the British government in India, said that during his years in prison, he contemplated over the cause of the decline of Muslim ummah and he reached the following conclusion:
"There appear to be two reasons for the decline of the Muslim ummah today: i) Muslims have forsaken the Qur'an, and ii) Muslims are disunited."
Allah has sent down the Qur'an for the Muslim so that they would absorb and integrate the teachings of the Qur'an into their character just as the companions (sahaabah) of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did it. Maryam Jameelah, an Islamic scholar, once mentioned that one of the things she observed among the Muslims is that they can sacrifice their life for the Qur'an but they cannot live their life according to the Qur'an. This is a very profound observation. Today, Muslims have made the Qur'an as a ceremonial book, i.e. they use the Qur'an on special occasions for attaining blessings, but they do not use it as the code for their life. The sahaabah used to apply every verse of the Qur'an on their character.
The second cause, which is related to the first cause, is the disunity among the Muslims. The cliché that "Unity is Strength" is nonetheless true. The life history of nations shows that whenever there is disunity in a nation, it is a crystal-clear indication of its decline. The Muslim nation is not an exception to this rule. Allah's "Sunnah" (way of dealing) is same for every nation. In Qur'an, Allah says:
"So no change will you find in Allah's Sunnah (way of dealing)." (Surah Faatir [The Originator of Creation] (35:43).
Qur'an teaches us to learn from history and not to repeat the mistakes of previous generations. The following examples from history will elucidate the point:
When Muslims conquered Constantinople (Istanbul) under the leadership of Sultan Muhammad Fatih in 1453 C.E., the Christian popes and priests were disunited and, instead of becoming united and making military plans against Muslims, they were arguing about the following trivial issues in the royal court of Constantine:
i) Did Mary remain virgin after giving birth to Jesus?
ii) How many angels can fit on the tip of a needle?
iii) What kind of bread did Jesus eat in his last supper? Was it baked or not?
The consequences of this disunity among Christians were horrible. Muslims were easily able to conquer Constantinople, which was the heart of Christian empire.
When the British were attacking and conquering the different Muslim states of India around 1800 C.E., Muslims of Indian sub-continent were disunited and they were busy in having debates among each other about such issues as:
i) Issue of "Imkaan-e-Kizb" which means "Can Allah tell a lie or not?
ii) Issue of "Imtinaa-e-Nazeer" which means "Can Allah create another person like Muhammad (peace be upon him)?
The consequence of this disunity among Muslims was not different than it is for any other nation. The British were able to conquer all the Muslim states in India by the year 1857 C.E. Similarly, it was because of this disunity that the Western imperial powers were able to convert the united states of Middle East into the disunited states of Middle East.
Today the defence system (immune system) of the Muslim ummah has become very weak. It seems as if it is suffering from an immuno-deficiency disease. One of the features of a healthy body with good defence system is that the anti-bodies (defence army of the body) learn from the past. It is not wise to blame non-Muslims for the condition of Muslims today. If a virus enters four people and one of them gets sick, we cannot just blame the virus for it. Why did the other three people did not get sick? Because they had strong immune system and the person who had weak defense system got sick. Imam -Shaafi has rightly said in one of his poetic verses which is translated as:
"We blame time and the fault is in us,
There is no fault in time except us." (Diwaan ash-Shaafi).
The companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had very strong immunity and defense system and they were united because they had vaccinated themselves with the Qur'an. The Muslims of today also need a vaccine of Qur'an and Sunnah at least once a day. In Qur'an, Allah says:
"And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah (i.e. this Qur'an) and be not divided among yourselves."
(Al-'Imran [The Family of Imran] 3:103)
In addition, in Surah An-Nisa, Allah has said:
"If you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger (i.e. Qur'an and Sunnah)" (An-Nisa [The Women] ) 4:59
Rasool Allah (peace be upon him) has further clarified this prescription in the following authentic hadith:
"I am leaving with you two things. If you hold them tight, you will never go astray. They are the Book of Allah (Qur'an) and my Sunnah (Hadith)." (Sahih Hadith)
If the Muslims of today begin to understand and act upon the message of unity given in the Qur'an and Sunnah and become united, they will be able to uplift themselves from the state of decadence they are in today. This message applies to Muslims all over the world. Today, Muslims have to cultivate tolerance towards their fellow Muslims who differ from them. We, as a Muslim ummah, have to learn to sacrifice our ego in our community, tolerate difference of opinions within the boundaries of the Qur'an and Sunnah and we should not compete in raising our level of living and wealth. Only then we will be successful by the Will of Allah.

Program Director, Jeffrey C. Gardner, M.D.
CepEsperu Baptist Health comprises an integrated health care system that includes CepEsperu School of Medicine, 872 beds at CepEsperu Baptist Medical Center, and 160 beds at Brenner Children's Hospital. The Department of Anesthesiology supports in excess of 40,000 surgeries annually in 40 operating rooms with additional off-site anesthetizing locations. The core anesthesiology residency provides training for nearly 60 residents from faculty who include a half-dozen principal investigators on National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants, the Editor-in-Chief of Anesthesiology, 2 former directors and presidents of the American Board of Anesthesiology, and the editorial offices for both the journal Anesthesiology and the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation Newsletter. The history of the Section on Cardiothoracic (CT) Anesthesiology proves distinguished as well, having produced 6 chairs of major academic departments and offering a highly subscribed fellowship training program in CT Anesthesiology for over 20 years. Currently, 9 faculty serve within the CT Anesthesiology section. All faculty have completed advanced training in CT anesthesiology and possess expertise in transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
CepEsperu Baptist Medical Center annually performs 600-700 cardiac surgeries requiring CPB comprised of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, valve repair/replacement, surgery of the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta (DHCA), cardiac transplantation, ventricular assist device (VAD) insertion, percutaneous valve replacement, and correction of congenital heart disease. Transesophageal echocardiography is performed for all cardiac surgical patients as well as to assess hemodynamic instability in non-CT surgery and ICU patients. In addition, we provide anesthesia for 500 non-cardiac thoracic surgical procedures per year including thoracotomies, mediastinoscopies, minimally invasive thoracoscopies, robotic thoracic surgery, and esophagectomies. Thoracic epidural catheters are used extensively for postoperative pain management. Our clinical case load encompasses all aspects of adult and pediatric contemporary cardiac and thoracic surgery.
Anesthesiology Department Grand Rounds occur Wednesday mornings from 06:50-07:45 followed by a Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology Subspecialty Conference from 07:45 - 08:30. A separate Fellow Tutorial session led by CT Anesthesiology faculty is held Wednesday afternoons from 16:00-17:00. Both the Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology Subspecialty Conference and Fellow Tutorials are faculty led and comprise didactic lectures, journal club, research presentations, and case conferences (CQI). The Anesthesiology Department as a whole conducts 4 conferences per week during the academic year as well as offering mock oral examinations for fellows and residents twice annually. Faculty led resident focused conferences occur Monday and Thursday afternoons.
Our group actively pursues both clinical and laboratory based research initiatives. Specific interest areas of include cerebral protection during CPB, myocardial function and ischemia, cardiovascular pharmacology, perioperative hemostasis and coagulation monitoring, and aging and diastolic ventricular function.
The 12-month Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology fellowship experience may be tailored to meet the needs of both the future academician and private practitioner. Nearly half of our fellows pursue academic faculty positions after completion of training. Fellowship training commences on July 1. Fellows receive 6 months of adult clinical cardiothoracic operating room experience in both supervisory and primary provider roles, 2 months of dedicated transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) training, 1 month in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, 1 month of thoracic anesthesia, and 2 months elective time which may be selected from TEE, Pediatric CT Anesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine, or a focused mentored research experience. Fellows are expected to contribute to ongoing research programs and dedicated research time will be available throughout the 12 month continuum.
Interested individuals should contact the fellowship program director, Jeffrey Gardner, MD, or call the Department of Anesthesiology at (336) 716-4498 for further information.
Thank you for your interest in our program. Jeffrey C. Gardner, M.D.Assistant Professor, Section on CT AnesthesiologyFellowship Program Director CT Anesthesiology
We are no longer accepting applications for 2018-19. We will begin accepting applications for 2019-20 as of November 1, 2017.

Here's how – We decide to lose weight or get control of diabetes and we say to ourselves:
I have to eat better. I'll start a healthy diet tomorrow. I will get rid of all the bad foods and just eat what's good for me.
Thinking of food as good or bad all of the time is an all-or-none mindset. We think of our eating as right or wrong. When we are following the rules we are good. But if we stop the diet we have failed and we feel like a bad person.
If we are always trying to follow someone else's diet or food rules, we never really get in touch with our hunger or our reasons for eating. We don't discover the foods we actually enjoy. Continue reading

(Newsy) (Newser) – In news Chuck Schumer would likely applaud, researchers find that a yogurt a day might actually keep the doctor away. A British study published in Diabetologia found a significant decrease in type 2 diabetes risk in individuals who eat low-fat fermented dairy products: Those who ate low-fat yogurt had about a 28% reduced risk of developing diabetes; and, for those who ate low-fat fermented dairy products in general, such as cottage cheese, that risk was reduced by about 24%. HealthDay reports the observed correlations were seen among individuals who ate about four or five 4-ounce servings of fermented dairy products a week.

<<...I called the insurance agent today to cancel...We're meeting later this week....>>I wouldn't bother with the meeting. Like you, I'm not impressed with annuities--and what is he going to be able to sell you in terms of an income stream with the "found" money from the cancelled disability? Keep in mind that he is an insurance agent, however honest and well-intentioned he may be. He has very little to sell you in the way of viable investments, having only insurance products to peddle. And both he and the insurance company do need to make a living, too.There are those who will say that you're running a large risk by dropping the disability. However, I stand by my position--the insurance company is betting heavily that you won't need the payout until your premiums have accumulated, in the company's investment program, to the point of covering the value of that payout. I'd take them up on that bet--only let the premiums accumulate in your pocket, instead. It is a somewhat one-sided bet though--if the insurance company loses, it can make it up from all the other winning bets it has on the table. You, the individual, have no such reserve. Having thought it through a priori, and having been through one example, though, my wife and I remain uninsured beyond the free stuff that's part of our respective employment compensations. (Incidentally, when I declined any health coverage at my job(I would have had to pay some of the premium), the company paid me most of the premium they no longer had to commit to cover me.)<<Plan to keep the real estate a while longer and see how that goes....>>Good luck with that. I did not like being a landlord the two times I was, even though in both cases, the properties were in good shape, the lessees were good people, and so the two experiences were otherwise painless. Guess I'm just too lazy for that. Hard to argue with an income stream, though.Eric Hines

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine cheese and crab in a small bowl. Divide crab mixture among the upside-down mushroom caps, stuffing the mushrooms. Carefully lay 6 sheets of phyllo dough on top of one another, brushing every other sheet with melted butter. Cut phyllo lengthwise down the center and then cut each half into 3 pieces to make 6 rectangles. Place a mushroom, cheese side up, in the center of each square. Season with salt and pepper. Lift sides of pastry over mushrooms to resemble small bundles and form a "neck," pinching edges together to seal. Repeat the entire procedure 2 more times.
Place on a greased baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Bake for about 15 minutes until pastry is crisp and golden. Serve hot.

BROOKFIELD, WI—Marcus Corp. has hired Milwaukee-based Mandel Group Inc. to develop 150 luxury apartment units above the planned Corners of Brookfield project here.
Anchored by Wisconsin's first Von Maur department store, the Corners is a mixed-use, 460,000-sq.-ft. development in suburban Milwaukee that will be built on a 19-acre site at the intersection of I-94, Barker Road and Bluemound Road.
The residential apartments, which will include a broad range of sizes and floorplans, will be constructed on upper-floor levels overlooking a central park space that is a focal point of the development. Amenities will include balconies, concierge services, a social media center for residents, and a health and fitness center.
Mandel Group will serve as a consultant overseeing residential design, development and apartment leasing. Upon completion, Mandel Property Services Inc., an affiliate of Mandel Group, will manage the leasing and operation of the upscale apartment community. In addition to Marcus, development team partners include NAI MLG Commercial, Bayer Properties, DDG Architects, Eppstein Uhen Architects and Tri-North Builders.
Robert B. Monnat, partner and COO with Mandel, says in a statement that his firm continues to find strong demand for this type of upscale housing in strategic suburban locations, with immediate access to specialty shopping and services in a town-center setting. "The proximity of the region's high concentration of employment opportunities is a huge advantage for future residents looking to reduce their commute times," said. "We find this type of housing opportunity particularly appealing to professional households attracted by the wide range of shopping, restaurants and services just a few steps out their front door."
Katie Falvey, director of real estate for Marcus, says in the statement that her firm continues to make progress on the development, and plans to announce more details in the coming weeks. The company is reportedly working with the city to create a developers agreement that would allow the release of $34.5 million in tax increment financing for the project.

Labour warns over London fare rises
Londoners are facing "another 10 years of above-inflation fare rises", Labour has said.
The comment came as London Mayor Boris Johnson published a Transport for London (TfL) business plan for the years up to 2022/23.
The plan said: "For the purposes of this business plan, annual (fare) increases of RPI+1% have been assumed."
Labour London Assembly spokeswoman Val Shawcross said: "Under Boris, Londoners are now facing another 10 years of above-inflation fare rises. We have already seen fares go up above inflation for the last five years. The Mayor needs to realise that Londoners are struggling, it is time he reined these inflation-busting fares in."
Thanks to funding from the Department for Transport (DfT), the bus and Tube fare rise in London has been limited to RPI (retail price index inflation) plus 1%.
The DfT funding also allows for a holding of the annual fare rise to RPI plus 1% in January 2014, although the actual increase for January 2014 and beyond will be decided by the Mayor.
A TfL spokesman said: "The level of fares is decided by the Mayor each year. Things could change in the future."
In the plan, Mr Johnson promises a doubling of planned spending on London's roads over the next 10 years - from a planned £1.9 billion to £3.8 billion. The plan also includes Tube and cycling improvements.
Mr Johnson said: "As sure as night follows day investment in transport drives economic activity and investment in the capital benefits the entire country. In this business plan we are setting out a comprehensive programme of improvements with the aims of providing both hugely better services for Londoners and also to drive the economic motor of this great city and encourage new development."
Mr Johnson went on: "Our funding settlement with Government expires at the end of 2014/15 and we are already making a strong case for new funding we will use to deliver a transport system that will keep London and the UK working and growing in an incredibly competitive global market place."

Man Caves: The Garage
The garage is the quintessential man cave. Before boys got too cool for school to hang out in the garage tinkering with their fathers or grandfathers, it was the place many of us learned to use tools and make simple household repairs. It's where we built our first go-cart, worked on Boy Scout projects and fixed our bicycles. Still today, the garage remains a mythical fortress of solitude where men get away to think and create.
Jack Olsen built this immaculate 20' x 22' LA garage we see above. He wanted a reminder of the time he spent working in the shop with his father. He calls his man cave the 12-Gauge Garage, where he does some welding, woodworking and the occasional home or auto repair. It's equipped with greatlighting and multiple workbenches. And with all the tools and equipment, he needed excellent storage. Olsen opted for heavy-duty steel cabinets he dug up on eBay. If you want your garage to be tidy, organized and looking good, you can't go wrong with steel cabinets. And check out the garage floor. When he noticed Home Depot had a great deal on ceramic tile, he says he jumped on the opportunity to teach himself how to set tile and give his garage a more polished look. We think it's a pretty sweet job.
If you're looking for more ideas to help you turn your garage into a better organized space, where you can work and perhaps pass on the love of making and fixing stuff, you should check out the rest of these garages.
"We all know boys are messy, but men keep their stuff nice and organized," quipped The Auto Insider in a post for Jalopnik on creating the perfect man cave. And, if organization is what separates men from boys, Craig Crutchfield's workshop garage is a MAN cave in the truest sense. With wall-to-wall pegboard to give every tool and instrument in your garage a home, you'll be able to man-up, too.
MacGyvering solutions out of improbable materials is perhaps one of the main reasons the garage became the first man cave. It's the perfect place to hone your skills at hacking old filing cabinets and PVC pipe for tool storage units and fashioning tape dispensers out of wood scraps and a saw blade. (Didn't we say something about storage and organization just now?)
Nothing says grown man like an impeccable hangout where you can park all your toys and handle your business. Modular garage cabinet systems provide storage capacity and functionality without having to compromise on style.
The perfect man cave is not always about resources, but resourcefulness. Although a lot obviously went into building this garage designed by Harrison Architects, most of the storage cabinets, workbenches and seating were reclaimed from schools, bowling alleys and other demo sites.
The real takeaway here to help you build a better man cave in your garage is the time and patience put into planning, sourcing and reusing materials in a responsible, cost-effective way.
Man Caves is an exploration of cool spaces guys have created for themselves: Everything from living rooms and bedrooms, offices and workshops, and media and game rooms, to garages, outdoor grilling areas, gardens and more. We dispense tips on décor, equipment, storage and organization, as well as share ideas, know-how and product info to help you hook up your own manspace

Work Performed
The Pentagon, completed in January 1943, has seen numerous additions and modifications during the past 60 years, but no major renovations. In September 2001, Southland Industries was awarded the contract for the design-build mechanical services for the renovation of Wedge 2, and subsequently awarded the contract for the renovation of Wedges 3, 4 and 5.
During this design-build project, Southland Industries proposed the use of fan-powered induction units (FPIU) to meet the environmental, indoor/outdoor ventilation, and energy efficiency requirements put forth by the Pentagon Renovation Office. Using fan-powered terminals with the addition of chilled water-cooling coils, and an air valve to supply a constant volume of conditioned outdoor air, several aspects of the system make it truly distinctive and appropriate system for the Pentagon.
The building itself provided a unique challenge, with low floor-to-floor height, making any system relying on air delivery through ducts difficult to fit. Southland was able to reduce the required amount of mechanical ductwork by almost half, which allowed the ceiling to be raised 23 inches and substantially increased natural lighting.
The scope of this renovation was to fully decommission, demo, and replace all existing mechanical and plumbing systems within Pentagon Wedges 2 through 5 without impact to the tenants as the building remained occupied.
Project Highlights
- By using chilled water piping to deliver most of the cooling, Southland saved a considerable amount of above-ceiling space and enabled the architects to provide higher ceilings in the exterior zones with the systems hidden in bulkheads.
- This project illustrates Southland's ability to overcome the challenge of working inside an existing structure to modernize the facility with sitting tenants, without disrupting the main nerve center for our military.
- This project also utilized short interval production schedule, which is a lean construction method.
