"The thin curve [when Ye was watching a waveform on a screen supposedly from an alien civilization], rising and falling, seemed to possess a soul."
Metaphor only takes me so far...When I'm reading a supposedly hard SF book I must put into action my non-suspension-of-disbelief-hat. That's the only way I can read this kind of SF. I've heard from some friends of mine, that some books are all metaphor when the physics part of them are utter crap…. Excuse me? It's like saying, "look here, this is my universe, but try not to concentrate too much on it, look at all the beautiful metaphors I wrote instead." Don't tell me this is me being pedantic. One thing is getting the physics right from scratch, the other thing is to do the extrapolation stuff the "right" way. In this case, base physics is quite off base, i.e., dead wrong in several key areas of the book. They're so wrong that I only finished it because I wanted to pin-point the rest of the so-called errors. I know, I'm mean…The above-mentioned example is one of the most glaring examples. A wave form where one's able to see something behind it just by looking at it! Even with poetical license in play, this is quite a bit of a stretch. I could mention another examples, but this one is one of the most obvious examples in showing that Cixin's storytelling leaves a lot to be desired.
Show-not-tell is quite absent throughout the book as any good SF vintage book would. Unfortunately, this book was originally published in 2008. So we're neither in the 30, 40 nor the 50s…It's my firm believe that because this work was translated from "China's best SF author" by one of the well-read and writers of SF nowadays (Ken Liu) there may be a propensity to interpret poor form as some sort of interesting (aka exotic) nuance. If this book had been self-published on Amazon it wouldn't be getting any attention at all. Instead it'd be getting a lot of stick!
I'm usually not willing to roll with a lot of nonsense when it comes to a Hard SF book, and in this case, because getting the science right is at the core of it, I cannot read past the crappy science.
When I was actively reading SF as if there was no tomorrow, I'd be quite surprised to have been told that a book like this would've won an Hugo Award, but in this day and age this book did really win the 2015 Hugo Award! "Ancillary Justice" by Ann Leckie is another good example of crappy SF having won a Hugo Award the previous year, 2014. What's happening to SF Fandom? Is everyone going bonkers??? A book with this kind of info-dumping to explain the key points of the plot and it wins a Hugo Award? It reads like tenth-rate Stephenson. On top of that, the characters were so incredibly flat that by the end of it I couldn't remember any of them. Everything is so damn flat that at times I kept saying to myself: "My God, why do I keep on reading this kind of crap?" Alas, one is always on the look-out to be proven wrong. It didn't happen once again unfortunately. I'm quite sure we won't see the likes of Le Guin's "The Dispossessed", Susanna Clarke's "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell", Frederik Pohl's "Gateway", to name just a few, in the next few years on the Hugo ballot.
2 stars only for allowing me to understand certain popular school of thoughts in China. Null stars for the rest of the book. Average: 2 stars.
NB: The Hugos' output in this day and age 100% suck. The books are so fucking simple-minded. Worse than that, they're all simple-minded in the same way, so I'm unable to distinguish those meant for grown-ups from those meant for 10-year-olds...
SF = Speculative Fiction.

The FL-600R is an easy-to-use external flash unit with a wide LCD display and wireless control capabilities. It features a built-in LED light that can function as an AF illuminator for still images or as full-time auxiliary lighting for shooting movies. As a bounce flash, the FL-600R tilts upward to 90 degrees and downward to 7 degrees, and it can swivel side-to-side up to 180 degrees in each direction. A wide panel and catch light plate are built into the unit, so you won't misplace them when traveling. Flash settings can be adjusted using the arrow keys and dial on the back of the unit or via the controls on an attached camera. In wireless mode, the FL-600R has a built-in commander function to remotely fire other wireless flash units without firing itself, but it can also be used as a slave flash, controlled by a camera's built-in flash or by another commander unit. Up to three groups of flashes, plus a clip-on flash such as the FL-LM2, can be configured independently. Four wireless channels are available, which prevents interference from other photographers' flashes. Powered by four AA alkaline or NiMH batteries, the FL-600R's charging time is approximately half as long as that of the FL-50R.

Lately, I haven't been posting a whole bunch. Blizzard's approach to the beta was different this time around – they made huge scale changes regularly, and often reverted changes soon after. It started to get pretty clear that trying to keep up with it all wasn't worth it. At the end of the day, the only experience that matters is the level 100 experience on the live servers – so that's what I've been waiting for.
I do want to take this opportunity between expansions to talk about some of the good and the bad of the expansion just gone. MoP kept me engaged throughout its lifespan, but distantly. I didn't do any serious raiding, and the groups I did raid with were usually shortlived. I felt like this expansion, I always had something to work on – some sort of goal for my character. Honestly, though, WoW is better with friends, and MoP made it a little too easy to play the single-player version. I hope this changes.
With respect to healing, MoP had its good and bad. For Resto Druids, they fixed the problem that Nourish fill provided, and turned the play style into a multi-tasking-heavy, time-management-demanding experience. In this way, it was the best expansion (IMO) for healing. The posts I wrote about mechanics, and mana/time as resources were my favourite I've ever written. When the game operates this way, I want to play it.
MoP's greatest downfall is something Blizzard have stated often recently – that damage was too spiky and that there was no room for interesting decisions. They are absolutely right, at least that damage was too spiky. There's always going to be room for interesting decisions. Really, the question is whether or not the new style will fix that or not. In my experience so far, it just tends to mean I spend less time healing and more time doing bad DPS. My other big concern is that this is how it will be at all levels below Mythic. I'm hoping this isn't the case at 100.
Before we go through the Dark Portal again, I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who reads this, and in particular those who have contacted me before and will in the future. Throughout the life of SometimesATree, I've gained what I consider to be a reasonable readership (based on traffic stats), but I've never really had a whole lot of contact from readers. Recently, I've had some wonderful words of support and encouragement from people contacting me, telling me they enjoy what's here. This really does mean a lot to me and you have my sincerest, heartfelt thanks. Content will begin rolling out more frequently during WoD, and I do plan to make good on my intention to create more YouTube videos.

Those health food lovers out there that are really into the organic stuff will surely have heard of the brand "Amy's" which makes really great stuffed shells, macaroni and cheese, and even burritos that take no time at all to cook. Well, according to an article found on reddit and written by Grubstreet.com, Amy's will be launching their very first drive through restaurant this summer. Instead of just limiting themselves to frozen food, they will be taking advantage of their skills for their gluten free fans and cooking some amazing dishes to order now and this is sure to make Sergio Cortes a happy man!
They will start off this eatery in the Bay area and if it takes off than they will expand for sure. But for now it is going to be a hit, and Burger King and McDonald's and all those other places are going to have some heavy competition coming up. Not only does Amy's appeal to people who like to eat vegan, gluten free and organic, but they also have a fantastic line of vegetarian foods that are sure to wake up the taste buds. It will be nice to see these things thrive and hopefully there will be a chance for them to advertise before opening. I can see how fans of the place will drive from all over to check them out and I have a feeling that it is going to get off to a great start.

The A-Z of Victorian Crime is a newly published (by Amberley) book compiled by four historians of crime - Neil R.A. Bell, Trevor N. Bond, Kate Clarke, and M.W. Oldridge. The field of Victorian crime is immense, and in their introduction, the authors explain how and why they have focused on certain subject areas rather than others. As ever with a book of this kind, it's well worth reading that intro before one starts to dip in to the detailed entries. For example, Thomas Wainewright misses out because his crimes occurred before Victoria came to the throne, though his trial took place at the start of her long reign.
I think that the overwhelming majority of readers will indeed treat this as a book to dip into, a point of first reference, rather than as a volume to be read from cover to cover at one or more sittings. I approached it in that way, and started by looking up cases with which I was familiar - examples including Christiana Edmunds and Florence Maybrick. The entries I consulted struck me as put together very competently. The challenge for the writer is always: what do I leave out? My feeling is that the approach to the necessary selectivity is perfectly sound. The same is true of the suggestions for further reading, though I felt these could usefully have been expanded somewhat without adding too much to the overall length of the book.
The real pleasure of such a book, however, in my opinion lies in chancing upon stories and pieces of information with which one was previously unfamiliar. I'd never heard of Percy Lefroy Mapleton, for example, or of Celestina Sommer or of Mary Ann Britland. Many of the entries deal with murder cases, but there are also, for instance, entries covering hangmen and police officers. Several of the entries are written with a touch of dry humour which also works pretty well.
All in all, this book makes a useful and very readable addition to the library of any true crime fan. By its nature, it offers a jumping-off point for discovery; anyone wishing to get to know the cases in depth will need to do quite a bit of further research (which is why I'd have favoured more clues about further reading). But I suspect it will also find a market among general readers who wish to know more about Victorian crime without becoming bogged down by minutiae.

SECRET SANTA'S HELPERS IN CLOVERDALE

 Deep inside the BC Vintage Truck Museum workshop, preparations have begun for the 10th Annual Surrey Santa Parade of Lights to be held on Sunday, Dec. 6th at 5pm. Head Elf Fred Monkton along with Brian Busby, Bruno Zappone, Lloyd Lemky, Gord Hallam, Tex Bussey, Noel Cleveland and others have started working on a new Santa's sleigh along with several other entries for the magical lighted parade. Community spirit keeps the Santa Parade growing along with a record number of sponsors and supporters (especially the City of Surrey) that cover growing operational expenses. Once again the BIA and Chamber are proud to sponsor the amazing collection of Big Rigs that come from the Island Equipment Owners Association (who actually pay their own fuel expenses to come from Vancouver Island to spread Christmas cheer). The front part of the Surrey Santa Parade has a number of entrants from the Big Rigs for Kids Parade who start in Cloverdale and end up in Central City parked around the Surrey City Hall. The convoy gathers at Highway #10 and the By-pass, and then heads west on Hwy #10 (56 Ave) to King George Blvd and heads north to 100 Ave before ringing around the City Hall at 104 Ave.

 The Surrey Santa Parade has the largest number of parade entries in the city that includes politicians, local community groups, sport teams, companies, vintage vehicles, horses, R/C's, dogs, boats, faith groups along with a number of visitors from different parts of the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver.

 This year there will be two entertainment areas which include food & music for pre-parade activity starting at 4pm. The first will be at the starting point of the parade which is at the BC Vintage Truck museum located at 176A St and 60th Ave (just west of one our major parade sponsors Elements Casino formerly Fraser Downs). On a first come first serve basis, kids of any age will be able to get their photo with Santa by his sleigh float by the Truck Museum. (Please bring your own camera!).

 The second entertainment zone at Hawthorne Square is at the heart of historic downtown Cloverdale just across the street from the Parade organizers: The Cloverdale Business Improvement Assoc. and the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce. Starting at 4pm, Surrey's premier, amateur, cappella chorus group SOUNDSCAPE will perform! Once again there will be a number of food vendors (all donating part proceeds to our charities) and activities for children including facepainting. The Hawthorne Square entertainment zone is sponsored by Envision Financial who has recently located at the BrickYard Station. They are also unveiling their new program to Cloverdale called the Full Cupboard Holiday Program that supports the Surrey Food Bank. Between November 16 and December 12, they will be gathering cash donations, gifts or food items to help others in need. Did you know that the Surrey Food Bank can buy more food with less money than individuals can? They have almost 2 to 1 buying power. Donate much needed cash to support our local food bank and Christmas Bureau at any Envision Financial location today or give-on-the-go with their text to donate program. Text FULL to 41010 to donate $10 to the Full Cupboard. This one time or monthly donation will be added to your mobile bill. We also will be accepting donations for the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau at the entertainment zones. Please note that you can also help by giving a cash donation to one of our parade ambassadors that will be walking along side the parade entries. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Francis Penny (who has worked on building our Santa float for years) who is in the hospital undergoing important surgery.

 You will also be able to get a chance to see Santa when he arrives at Santa's Hut at Clover Square Village at noon on Saturday, Dec. 5th. The Lions will also be there with a charity BBQ and some local entertainment. Santa will be available for photos at Clover Square Village starting on Dec. 5th to Dec. 21st from noon – 4pm daily. For more event info visit the Cloverdale BIA website: cloverdalebia.com or you can call (604) 576.3155

 The Cloverdale BIA and Cloverdale Chamber want to thank everyone including those whose names have not been mentioned for still Believing in Santa and for helping to make the Surrey Santa Parade one of the City's most magical moments to get together and celebrate!

I lived in Rogers County, Oklahoma, for 16 years.
No, the county is not named for Will Rogers. It is named for his daddy, Clem (Clement) Rogers who was a rancher, banker and hotel proprietor while Will was growing up on their ranch near Oologah, about 12 miles north of Claremore, the county seat of RogersCounty.
This coming weekend, from November 1-3, all of RogersCounty will celebrate Will's birth date, November 4, with Will Rogers Days, full of good country music, great food, a parade and a rodeo. The Will Rogers Library and Museum is located on a hill at the northern end of Will Rogers Boulevard, one of Claremore's main streets, and the grounds contain the burial places for Mr. and Mrs. Rogers as well as one of their sons who died in his childhood.
Will Rogers was born in 1879 and died in 1935 in a light plane crash near Point Barrow, Alaska. He and his down-home humor spoke to the people of this country. My dad, who was reared in Pennsylvania, told me that his household went into mourning when the news of Will's death reached them. How could a country boy from Oklahoma have such an impact all across this nation? Even though some of his humor was biting and he called 'em like he saw 'em, it was never bitter and his humor was clean. Will was a vaudeville performer, a newspaper columnist, a Broadway performer, and he made 69 movies, both silent ones and talkies. The closest we have come to Will Rogers in my lifetime was Bob Hope, but even Hope didn't cover all of the areas that Will Rogers did.
Some of my favorite political quotes from Will Rogers are just as true today as they were in the 1920s and '30s. I want to share some of them with you. Think of what's going on in WashingtonD.C. today as you read these.
- I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat. (Today, substitute Republican for Democrat.)
- Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate; now what's going to happen to us with both a Senate and a House?
- Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.
- On account of being a democracy and run by people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.
- Our constitution protects aliens, drunks, and U.S. Senators.
- That's the trouble with a politician's life–somebody is always interrupting it with an election.
- There ought to be one day–just one–when there is open season on Senators.
- There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.
- There's one thing no nation can ever accuse us of and that is secret diplomacy. Our foreign affairs are an open book, generally a check book.
- This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when a baby gets hold of a hammer.
- The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out of power always looks the best.
- A fool and his money are soon elected.
- A Senator got up today in Congress and called his fellow Senators "sons of wild jackasses." If you think the Senators were hot, imagine how the jackasses felt.
Happy Birthday, Will Rogers. We sure could use you today. RIP

"It's important because the number 1 killer of teens in the U.S. is vehicle crashes," said program Manager Jim Graham. "In the state of Illinois this is our most successful program. Over seven years, there's been a 53-percent reduction in teen deaths."
In two days, hundreds of high school students will go through four, hands-on driving clinics with professional drivers. Among them, vehicle handling and skid control and hazard recognition. The biggest challenge for today's young drivers: distraction.
"Cell phones. They want to text. They want to talk, instant gratification. Back in our day, we had to wait until we got to the house before we made that phone call. Right now, they have it at their fingertips," said Marianne Hankins, IDOT Operation Teen Safe Driving manager.
The distracted driver course has a lot more than a cell phone.
"It was absolutely insane! No way should you be able to do that on the road!" said Dalton Johnson, a high school driver who was asked to text the Gettysburg Address while driving as part of the program.
Equally important, simulating drunk or impaired driving. The students use goggles that impair your vision similar to a blood alcohol level of .20, which is well above the legal limit of .08.
"It looks real easy until you put the goggles on. It's like you have five extra eyes, and you're all trying to see at the same time and everything is a blur!" student driver Fiona Keigher.
It's all in the name of safety. The program is actually a reward for a statewide high school safe driving program based on peer-to-peer campaigns. IDOT sends notices out at the beginning of each school year for high schools to apply.

Not Grey anymore: Sara Ramirez is engaged!
Grey's Anatomy stunner Sara Ramirez is engaged to her longtime boyfriend!
Grey's Anatomy actress Sara Ramirez must have caught the marriage bug after her character, Callie Torres, married fellow doc Arizona Robbins last season. Now, she's getting married in real life!
Ramirez, 35, agreed to marry longtime boyfriend Ryan Debolt after a romantic proposal in Paris.
"Sara Ramirez and her longtime partner Ryan Debolt are thrilled to announce their engagement, which took place in Paris, France," her spokesman confirmed.
The multi-talented entertainer's engagement comes after a period of self-doubt regarding her weight.
"There's a whole list of things you could worry about. Are you skinny enough? Are you too fat? Are you talented enough?" Ramirez said in a past interview. "In all kinds of ways, I used to be really, really hard on myself."
Her best friend's death in 2008 made her see that life is short.
"One of the things I'm clear about is how sexy I feel. I feel badass and sexy and empowered and clear."
Well, we think she's always been gorgeous, sexy and talented -- especially since ABC gave her the option to star on any show she wanted after seeing her once in the Broadway show Spamalot. She chose Grey's Anatomy because she was such a fan of the show.
Plus, she's engaged now, so she has it all -- lucky girl.

One of the most innovative software houses in iGaming has released its spine-chilling new game in time for Halloween...and players can win their share of more than £3,000 just for trying it out.
Don't worry, there's no need to pinch yourself – you haven't lapsed into a daydream. The kind souls at 32Red Casino really are giving you an exclusive opportunity to win this fantastic sum of money just for playing the haunting new game, Lost Vegas, with them.
This is the flagship new offering from Microgaming, widely regarded as one of the finest games developers in the industry. It focuses on a kind of post-apocalyptic world in which zombies have overrun Sin City.
It's your job to survive, prosper and profit – without having your arm bitten by the undead, of course. There are five reels to play with and the company's famed '243 Ways to Win' technology is built in, so every spin has the potential to be a handsome winner.
32Red, one of the industry's premier online casinos, is celebrating the release of Lost Vegas by offering their members a chance to win the cash bounty, plus up to 200 free spins on their vast catalogue of slot games. And it couldn't be easier to get involved.
First things first, you will need to opt in (assuming you have an active 32Red account, that is; if you haven't then sign up for one here). Just head to the Promotions tab of your 32Red dashboard, find Lost Vegas and click 'opt in'.
Once you have done this you'll earn a point for every spin you make on the game. These will help to propel you up the leaderboard. This leaderboard features cash prizes, ranging from £5 to £500 based on your ranking, and there's further good news:
If you're the first player to unlock all the achievements within the game, you'll automatically pocket the full £3,200 prize payout!
The goodies don't end there either: each individual achievement unlocked in the game earns free spins. Unlocking the Club Girl/Showgirl feature delivers 20 free spins, and if you can unlock the Golfer/Wedding achievement then a rather cool 200 freebies will be yours. This is your classic 'the more you spin, the more you can win' promotion, and it runs until Wednesday 19 October.
Lost Vegas is described as a darkly comic take on the zombie apocalypse genre. Players can decide whether to play as a heroic 'survivor' battling to preserve mankind or as a zombie looking for a nice bit of arm or leg to chew on.
This is a rather unique take on titles featuring the undead. In Survivor mode, players are looking to collect cash sums as part of their stash, and these are paid at the end of the bonus feature. In Zombie mode, reels are infected, where a Z symbol appears.
They have a bit of a nibble and all hell breaks loose, with any wilds present turning the whole reel, erm, wild. You can switch between the Survivor and Zombie game modes at any point too if you want to experience Lost Vegas from a different perspective.
There's a wealth of free spins, promotion rounds and bonus features in the game, and with the tongue-in-cheek humour, exceptional graphics and immersive environment all combining to create super fun gameplay, Lost Vegas is an online slots title worthy of the time invested in it.
"Lost Vegas is a perfectly timed game for Halloween. This slot brings so much entertainment to gameplay, from being able to pick a side and play as a 'Survivor' or 'Zombie', to the never-seen-before features in the free spin rounds. We are really excited to see this slot launch, and I'm sure that the game will not only be popular upon release, but will be a long-term favourite with players."
Are you ready to fight your way through the zombie Elvis impersonators, and take aim at hordes of 'newly-deads' at a Vegas-style shotgun wedding? Fire up the reels at 32Red Casino today and you might well win more than you bargained for!

Southwestern Ontario pork farmers express fear for Russian people subjected to ban on food imports
One Southwestern Ontario pork producer evoked the spectre of Soviet-style food lines as Russian President Vladimir Putin reacted to Western sanctions by banning Canadian meat and vegetable exports Thursday.
With the London region Ontario's pork belt, Putin's food fight — part of the tit-for-tat escalating sanctions between Canada and Russia over the crisis in the Ukraine — could cinch area farmers hard.
Canada exported $213 million worth of pork to Russia in the first half of this year, said Dashwood-area hog farmer Teresa Van Raay.
"When you look at that, that's a lot of meat that's on the shelves," she said Thursday. "And those (Russian) shelves are going to be empty. And that's not fair to (Putin's) people."
Her first thought when she heard the news wasn't for her own operation, the Whole Pig, but for the Russian rank-and-file.
"Why would a president put a sanction on food for his people? I hope he just realizes that this might hurt his people. And it also will hurt the farmers that are putting the food on the table," she said.
Russia's one-year ban on all meat, dairy, fish and fruit and vegetables exports from Canada and other Western countries is in retaliation for the economic and travel sanctions Canada and its allies have slapped on Russia in response to Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine.
Earlier this year, Russia annexed Crimea from its neighbour.
Lately, the two countries have been locked in a tense standoff over pro-Russian rebels pushing for separation in eastern Ukraine, where the Malaysia Airlines jumbo jet was shot down, killing nearly 300.
Ontario is one of Canada's top pork-producing provinces, with most of that found in Southwestern Ontario.
Van Raay said it's too early to judge how big of a hit she will take. But she's worried.
"There aren't any details yet to be had, so we really don't know what their sanctions do mean. It sounds pretty scary when they put a year on it and that kind of thing, but we really have to wait to see, always that thing about the devil in the details," Van Raay said.
Ottawa has pledged to stand behind Canada's food producers.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper "has the pork producers' back" said Industry Minister James Moore, though he didn't detail how the feds will help the industry. He said the government will first assess the impact, then decide how to aid the affected Canadian sectors.
"This is an unwelcome market disruption," said Gary Stordy, spokesperson for the Canadian Pork Council. "But this is not the first time there have been disruptions in Canada's access to the Russian pork market. Our industry is adapting to the Russian government's decision."
The ban comes at a crucial moment for Canada's multi-billion hog industry, only now recovering from a number of lean years due to restructuring.
Moore said Canada's foreign policy needs to be based on principle.
"The sanctions will hurt Russia more than they will hurt Canada," he added.

June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. It's an important opportunity to both educate the public about the nature of Alzheimer's disease and to recognize the enormous contribution that caregivers make to improving the health and wellbeing of loved ones affected by Alzheimer's.
Wondering how you can get involved? What follows are some ideas to help you get started.
1. Go Purple with a Purpose
The color purple is a handy symbol to help raise awareness of Alzheimer's this month, so heed the words of the Alzheimer's Association and "Go Purple with a Purpose." Wear purple clothes and encourage friends and colleagues to wear purple, too. Turn your social media icons (such as your Facebook picture) purple, or send emails with purple text or background in honor of Alzheimer's Awareness.
Hang purple banners or ribbons in your home or workplace, or place purple decorations on your front door. When people ask what's going on with all that purple, you have a chance to tell them about Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month and talk about Alzheimer's disease. Greater awareness of how the disease affects friends and neighbors will encourage more people to get involved in the fight against it.
2. Host an Event
Use this month as an occasion to host an Alzheimer's benefit for your local care facility or your favorite Alzheimer's charity. Events can be as simple or elaborate as you wish, and your aim could be to raise a couple hundred dollars or tens of thousands. It all depends on you and how big you want to make your event.
A simple potluck dinner party with a few friends, an office "Dress in Purple Day," or a charity auction are just a few options. The Alzheimer's Association is the largest private organization dedicated to improving Alzheimer's care, support services, and research, but there are many others, including in your local area, that could benefit from any amount of giving. The Alzheimer's Association has collected a bunch of great do-it-yourself fundraiser ideas.pdf).
3. Honor and Support Caregivers
The ravages of Alzheimer's fall not only upon sufferers of the disease, but also on those who care for them, which can mean family, friends, or professional caregivers. For unpaid family caregivers, the costs are staggering. In 2015, according to the Alzheimer's Association, "15.9 million family and friends provided 18.1 billion hours of unpaid care to those with Alzheimer's and other dementias. That care had an estimated economic value of $221.3 billion."
Economic costs are just one measure of the stress and strain that caregivers endure, which can also include depression and neglect of personal health and life goals. To lessen the toll, in June we recognize the work of caregivers through our efforts to support Alzheimer's research, but also simply by raising awareness of the work that caregivers do. You can start by joining support groups to hear others' stories and contribute your own insights about caregiving for someone with Alzheimer's here.
4. Visit Loved Ones
There's no better way to commemorate Alzheimers and Brain Awareness Month than to pay a visit to your loved one who is dealing with Alzheimer's disease. Research has shown that even if a person with dementia can't recognize a loved one or remember a recent visit, the physical presence and tender attention of time spent together is of lasting benefit to their wellbeing.
Even if a person's short-term memory is greatly impacted by Alzheimer's, leading to difficulties with ordinary small talk and conversation, deeper currents of memory may remain untouched. Emotional intelligence and memory may also remain quite vital, and the positive feelings that a person with dementia experiences during a visit will have lasting effects on their mood and behavior afterwards.
Social worker and dementia care specialist Joyce Simard, MSW, emphasizes the importance of showing love to the person with dementia, regardless of what stage of the disease they are in.
"Make sure she feels loved and supported and sees the reasons for being part of the family," Simard says. "Most people like to be hugged, and it really does make a difference, you see them smile."
5. Do the Memory Work
Make history. Visiting your loved ones during Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month is a great opportunity to begin or continue a project of oral history together, collecting the stories, reminiscences, and wisdom of a lifetime for the benefit of each other and future generations. While it may be difficult to talk about recent happenings, the memory of an Alzheimer's sufferer is a vast and mysterious world that can be explored and recorded, while providing a lovely way to spend time together.
Bring a video camera or audio recorder with you on your visit, as you use photographs, prompts, and even music to stimulate the deeper regions of your loved one's memory. The information you bring forth will be of inestimable value to you and your family, and it will give your loved one a warm feeling of positive attention. The work of putting together a person's life story is a collaborative effort, and can be displayed in a book, video, web page, or album that creates the added benefit of helping caregivers better understand their patients.
6. Further the Science
Contribute directly to foundations and organizations that are racing to find a cure for Alzheimer's. The Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation is one such organization. There, a team directed by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Paul Greengard is researching the disease in order to find a cure as quickly as possible. Funding, including charitable donations, goes to supporting research at their facility and for other researchers around the world.
Or contribute by joining the Brain Health Registry, a Web-based program that asks users to submit their information and take online brain tests in an effort to find candidates for future Alzheimer's drug trials. The program partners with the Global Alzheimer's Platform Foundation in an effort to overcome what researchers say is one of the biggest bottlenecks to finding a cure for the disease – having enough people available to participate in clinical trials for new Alzheimer's treatments.
"We're closer than ever to finding a treatment for Alzheimer's, but we need an engaged army of citizen scientists to push these drugs over the line," George Vradenburg, co-founder of GAP Foundation and USAgainstAlzheimer's, said in a prepared statement. "Clinical trials are the ticket to making a cure happen. The first person cured of Alzheimer's will be in an Alzheimer's clinical trial."
Supporting these types of organizations can be a powerful way to recognize Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month by fighting to end Alzheimer's where it counts most-- in the race for a cure.
7. Grieve the Fallen
If you are coping with the effects of Alzheimer's -- either as a person carrying a diagnosis or as the witness of its progression in someone you love -- you are probably experiencing emotions related to grief and loss that can be overwhelming at times.
This month, take special care to value and cherish your emotional response and allow yourself to feel whatever comes up. There is no "right" way to feel about your situation, and it's important to share your feelings while you're going through this process.
8. Spread the Word
Use Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month as a reason to educate the public at large, and especially younger people who may not yet have been touched by Alzheimer's, about the disease and the struggle against it. Write your elected representatives, pen an op-ed for the newspaper, start a blog or post on Facebook to raise awareness.Tell your friends, family, and coworkers that you are committed to the fight to end Alzheimer's. Be an activist to organize a movement of dedicated individuals who can work in concert to pressure policymakers, governments, and international organizations to make the race to end Alzheimer's a global priority. Your voice is a vital necessity. Write your elected representatives, pen an op-ed for the newspaper, start a blog or post on Facebook to raise awareness.
9. Know the Warning Signs
Knowing the warning signs for Alzheimer's can help provide an early diagnosis and ensure the best course of treatment for a person touched by the disease. Memory loss, difficulty performing familiar tasks, problems with language, disorientation with time and space, poor or decreased judgment, problems with abstract thinking, misplacing things, changes in mood or behavior, personality changes and loss of initiative are some of the most common symptoms used in diagnosing Alzheimer's.
10. Practice Self-Care
As anyone who has sat through an airline safety briefing can recall, in the event of an emergency you must put your oxygen mask on first before you assist someone else. As the caregiver, relative, or friend of someone with Alzheimer's, the love and care you give yourself will help you be there for your loved one during the disease's progression.
Take responsibility for keeping yourself in the best shape to help. Monitor yourself for signs of fatigue, depression, and generally neglecting your own needs. It's not selfish to overcome personal barriers, ask for help, or take a break sometimes. Even if it's just to take a walk around the block and a take few deep breaths.
What are other powerful ways that you've used to commemorate Alzheimer's Awareness Month? Share in the comments below.

The steel jack is designed by mechanical transmission principle. It's one of the best lift tools used in repairing and supporting, etc. The lifting or lowering speed is controllable. Moreover, it overcomes the shortcoming of the common hydraulic jacks whose lowering height and speed is out of control when oil leaking.
The top-quality all steel structure makes it safe and durable. The compact design with collapsible lever offers easy operation and simple maintenance. It has two applicable support stands. The lifting range is much bigger.

New Delhi: Maintaining that they were "transparent" in their functioning, Team Anna on Sunday dismissed Swami Agnivesh`s allegations that donations for Anna Hazare`s agitation was siphoned off by Arvind Kejriwal, saying he might be levelling such accusations out of anger.
They said all details regarding their accounts will be put on the website of Public Cause Research Foundation (PCRF), which acted as the secretariat for Hazare`s agitation, by this month-end.
Seeking to downplay allegations levelled against Agnivesh, Team Anna member and Kejriwal`s close associate Manish Sisodia said, "Our accounts are already on the website. We have conducted a special audit for the last six months and
by the month end we are putting the details on the website."
On Agnivesh, he said, "We have no animosity with Swami Agnivesh. He could have said something out of anger. It`s not in our custom to rebut against anything that an elderly says. He is a good person and we all respect him."
Agnivesh has claimed that money collected for Hazare`s agitation was deposited in the trust run by Arvind Kejriwal from which the names of major team members were missing. He had alleged that Kejriwal has siphoned off over Rs 80 lakh.
He claimed that Hazare does not have his name in the PCRF run by Kejriwal.
Asked about his reaction to this allegation, Sisodia said "We have already requested members at the core committee meeting held in Ralegan Siddhi to be trustee of the PCRF and we have invited them."
He said they had announced in the Ramlila Maidan that the donations were being collected in name of PCRF.
He also dismissed as "baseless" allegations that Hazare was upset with the team members.

The meaning of Christmas is not Santa Claus and gifts.
The meaning of Christmas is, in the (paraphrased) words of the Grinch, "something a bit more".
So while you gather round the tree to open those gifts (from Santa or others) tomorrow morning, remember that this simply wouldn't be, if it weren't for the plan that God set in motion at the beginning of Time when we Fell from grace.
Christmas wouldn't exist, and we would still be a "people crying out in darkness" and waiting desperately for God's promise of a Savior to be fulfilled.
Yes, Christmas is a season of joy for most, but even amongst all those cups of eggnog and all those roasted chestnuts and every single scrap of paper and ribbon, never forget the reason for which that blessed baby boy was born as one of us.
We cannot have Christmas without Good Friday and Easter, because without the cross and the empty tomb, Christ's birth means nothing.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Christmas is God for us, forever. It is one of the central moments in all of human history, and so it is fitting that we celebrate the birth of our most precious Savior with festivities and gift giving and lots of twinkling lights. But let us remember why He became man, and as we gather around Word and Sacrament tonight and tomorrow morning in our brightly light churches, that we receive Him, God with us, Immanuel.

Frossard builds momentum in his title challenge
April 28, 2010
MX2, Valkenswaard, The Netherlands, 26 April 2010
Kawasaki Team CLS's Steven Frossard added momentum to his MX2 title challenge as he recorded his second podium placing at the tough sand track of Valkenswaard in the Netherlands.
The Frenchman had already shown his determination when he raced to third place in the qualification race on Saturday, and his efforts were again rewarded when World Championship points were awarded on Sunday as he battled relentlessly to end the day on the podium. In the first moto the 22 year old chased third-placed Shaun Simpson all the way to the chequered flag, crossing the line less than a second down on the Scot who had been a moto winner at the track 12 months ago. His second race in the unforgiving sand was even more impressive with a hard-earned third place after advancing up the leader board from an initial 7th place.
Teammate Jeremy Van Horebeek had made life difficult for himself with a series of crashes on Saturday, and the Belgian had to use a lot of energy in the first moto on Sunday to recover to 11th place after being dragged to the ground in a pile-up at the start. Taking a long time to settle at the start of race two Jeremy really came into his own during the second half, surging up the leader board to finish fourth.
Nico Aubin of the Kawasaki Bud Racing team continues to struggle to deliver the results which his speed deserve, crashes on the opening lap of both motos costing him any chance of a good result.
Steven Frossard: "I did not achieve good results on sand tracks last year but I have flown several times between Marseilles and the Netherlands this winter to practice under the watchful eye of ex-GP rider Kees van der Ven and the team's technical advisor Harry Nolte. Last week we trained at a track which is similar to Valkenswaard, and the positive tests helped me a lot to feel confident on this type of surface. I had a strong qualifying race which gave me third choice of gate today and I was able to finish 4th and 3rd in the two motos today after top ten starts in each. It's the first time in my career that I have got in the podium at a sandy track and that confirms that the training we did during the winter is bringing its rewards. I really like the track at Águeda in Portugal where the next GP will take place and I am confident I can go for the win there to reduce the gap to the current points leaders."
Jeremy Van Horebeek: "Saturday just wasn't my day as I crashed no less than six times, but in the warm-up this morning I was much more comfortable with the track and felt that a podium result was possible. Unfortunately at the start of the first race I was involved in a pileup and lost a lot of time. I came back through the field to finish eleventh, but that took a lot of energy. I was still feeling it in the early laps of race two and I didn't settle into a rhythm for the first 15 minutes. But once I found my rhythm I was able to set fast lap times and charged back from fifteenth to finish fourth behind Steven. My confidence on the bike is growing all the time and I'm looking forward to the next GPs. I won in Spain last year and I'm impatient to start winning again for Kawasaki."
Nicolas Aubin: "Each week we work hard, I feel great on the bike and we come to the race expecting good results but they just don't want to happen. I was involved in a crash at the start of both races here, and after that it was impossible to come back for a good result. All we can do is to continue to work at it because we're sure that the run of bad luck must end soon."

Top 5 reasons to consider a small, liberal arts university
Big school, or small school? That's the question a lot of individuals face when choosing a college. And in the long list of factors that goes into choosing a college, size and type often find themselves placed near the top in terms of importance. To help with this critical question in the college search process, here are the top five reasons to consider a small, liberal arts college or university…
5. Community. It's rare to walk anywhere on a smaller campus and not see someone you know. Sheer numbers play a major role in that, but so does the fact that everyone on campus seems to be involved in something. If you play a sport, host a show on the school radio station, perform in the musical and work in the bookstore, you might be a student at one of these schools. Seems like a busy life, but the camaraderie is hard to beat at larger institutions.
4. Scholarships and financial aid. Sure, big, public universities may have a cheaper sticker price, but when it comes to the bottom line, small schools often surprise prospective students with their affordability. The combination of scholarships and need-based institutional aid, which typically isn't available at larger colleges, makes this possible.
3. Small classes taught by professors. Because graduate and doctoral programs are not as prevalent at smaller liberal arts schools, often times, teaching assistants don't exist, and if they do, they're not in front of the classroom. Faculty members are the ones teaching the undergraduate students, and it's almost always in a smaller setting. No 300-seat auditoriums here; you'll know your classmates and be able to interact with them in a more intimate classroom environment.
2. Grad schools and employers value it. As Lynn O'Shaughnessy put it in her 2010 article on cbsnews.com, "liberal arts colleges…teach kids how to think, talk and write," and while simple, that's exactly what employers are looking for. Furthermore, according to O'Shaughnessy's article, "liberal arts schools dominate the list of the top 10 institutions that produce the most students who ultimately earn doctorates." Why is this? Graduate and professional schools are looking for the right mix of academic ability, research experience and leadership roles outside of the classroom—exactly what students can prove and acquire at smaller liberal arts colleges
1. You know your professors, and they know you. While learning from professors in small classes is great, an even bigger benefit is getting to know your professors on a personal level and gaining hands-on experience right alongside them. The connections you make with those individuals become invaluable as you search for graduate schools and/or employment. They've all been out there in the field doing the work themselves, and now they're helping little ol' you do the same.

The Karakas family says the lamb named "Rammy" was rejected by its mother, so they took it in.
To their surprise, their 3-year-old German shepherd named "Quickie" is treating the lamb like one of her own puppies.
The inseparable duo plays together, and even cuddles.
The family says Quickie is always making sure Rammy is taken care of.
The lamb turned 5-days-old on Saturday. The family says they plan to raise him as a pet.
