Wildlife watching brings with it countless special moments. Sometimes it's a close encounter, an unusual piece of behaviour or a particularly rare species. Sometimes, it's the total opposite: familiarity.
I have quite a nostalgic nature. I like memories, which is probably why I find myself photographing everything! In addition, despite having a huge urge to explore, I never need to travel that far to be satisfied. For me, it's always about more than the new; Being immersed in a place or a subject, getting to see the different sides to it and noticing more and more details time and time again. It's my favourite thing! it's about getting to know a place, a person or indeed an animal.
In this case it's in the title – a pair of gulls. These two recently featured in a photo story on my instagram page, but I wanted to talk about them on here as well.
This pair can almost always be found together, on the Prince of Wales Pier in Falmouth. They have incredible eyesight – more than once I have seen them take off with hardly any warning only to be heading dreckly over to the other side of the pier to mob another gull of the food it had just found in the water. How on earth they notice these things so quickly is something I would love to figure out.
They're also very territorial; guarding their stretch of railing in such a noble way. They may sometimes allow certain gulls to perch on posts, any that seem to be getting too comfortable or too close are soon chased off.
My feeling is that they are quite an elderly pair, as they seem very sure of themselves. Even around people. They know exactly how to read us.
But the most significant thing I have noticed about these two gulls is their bond. Never have I seen a pair of birds together so often. Never has a bird's next move been more obvious! Take this sequence of shots for example: The slightly larger male took off alone, doing a round about observation of the area after some noisy, gull-related commotion. I could see him soaring along just below the pier, and got my camera ready and focused on the female. As he glided into the frame I fired my shots. Their bond is so strong that I knew he'd come straight back to her. I honestly didn't realised the bond was so strong that, as you can tell from these images, she didn't even flinch once as he landed beside her. Not once! Even though she couldn't see him coming, even though she could sense that something was landing beside here – she just knew it was her mate. Complete and utter trust. It's beautiful!
I literally love these gulls, and watching them together. I'm really looking forward to spring when I'm sure they will be showing off their bond even more excitedly!

Jessie Kowalski appears to be one of the rare non-model, yet still good looking superfans. She apparently watches every episode and even BBAD, which shows some commitment right there. BBAD has generally been pretty boring over the last few seasons with players just kind of sitting around staring at each other. (side note: hopefully this year they are able to spice it up a little)
There isn't a lot to write about Jessie right now, but as far as how long she'll be on the show, that's a good subject. She clearly falls in the category of a player who can literally go at any time in the game. She can be voted out first, second, or even become runner-up to winner. She kind of reminds me of Danielle, and will probably hang out just as long.

San Francisco's Market Street has a long and fascinating history: from its ambitious beginnings as an over-scaled boulevard, laid out by Jasper O'Farrell in 1847, to its heyday as the city's vibrant theater district in the early twentieth century. Market Street rose to prominence after the 1906 Earthquake, survived a series of urban planning experiments in the mid-twentieth century, and absorbed the important yet disruptive insertion of BART beneath its surface in 1972. Today, Market Street displays the varied, accumulated layers of intervention. How can we remedy the vacant storefronts, improve pedestrain and traffic circulation, and reduce crime and other issues that prevent Market Street from being a true civic spine?
Several city agencies, including the Mayor's Office, the Department of Public Works, the Planning Department, the Transportation Authority and the SFMTA, along with residents, merchants and community groups, are trying to answer these questions with the Better Market Street project. The project seeks to revitalize Market Street from Octavia Boulevard to the Embarcadero by reestablishing the street as a premier cultural, civic and economic center of San Francisco and the Bay Area. As the city undertakes this important project, we must ask: What imprint will we make on Market Street's future?
Reclaim Market Street! – SPUR's newest exhibition— seeks to inspire a new vision for Market Street, learning from the past and drawing upon examples of successful urban design and street design trials. The exhibition will draw from Market Street's history, citing ephemeral events that have shaped the spirit of the street and created the rich heritage it will draw from in the future. Provocative national and international examples such as Paris' Plages, Bogota's Cyclovia, and New York's Times Square pedestrian plaza will be illustrated with films, images, and descriptions connecting San Francisco to efforts around the world advocating for more livable streets.
The exhibition, on display at SPUR from September 6, 2011 until January 6, 2012, will be accompanied by a series of interactive events, which will encourage participation and discussion about Market Street's future. These include the staging of three interventions for the street, plaza and sidewalk, as well as walking tours and film screenings.
Join us on Tuesday, September 6 at 6pm for the opening party at the SPUR Urban Center Gallery. The party will feature talks by the Studio for Urban Projects, SPUR and UC Berkeley Professor of Architecture Margaret Crawford and refreshments.

When your child doesn't sleep well at night, is constantly cranky or seems overly sleepy during the day, your child may have a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea. At Nemours, our sleep medicine experts are board-certified pediatricians and pulmonologists (lung doctors) with special training in evaluating the causes of, and treating sleep disorders such as sleep apnea in children.
Most children have a restless night every now and then — but when it becomes a habit and your child is not getting enough sleep or quality sleep because of sleep apnea, it could lead to other physical and mental problems. Sleep apnea in children occurs when kids stop breathing during periods of sleep.
At Nemours, our team of sleep medicine experts will take a complete medical history of your child and perform a complete physical examination.
An overnight sleep study — polysomnography — conducted at one of our Sleep Centers, will measure your child's quality, quantity, and breathing patterns during sleep to determine if your child has sleep apnea.

Please do not arrive earlier than your scheduled appointment time for your sleep study.
Your child's pediatric sleep study will be conducted at the Sleep Disorders Center at Wolfson Children's Hospital, located at 836 Prudential Drive in Jacksonville. Please enter through the Palm Avenue garage. The Sleep Disorders Center is located on the 7th floor of the Pavilion Building.
We schedule pediatric sleep study appointments during the day and evening. An automated telephone confirmation will call you two days before your appointment.
If your child is scheduled for an overnight sleep study, please check in at the courtesy desk. Security will direct you and your child to the Pavilion Building. When you arrive, press the intercom button and a member of our pediatric sleep medicine team will escort you and your child to a room.
Children participating in a Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) or daytime nap study – requiring five naps in two-hour intervals throughout the day – will be given breakfast and lunch. These tests should be completed by 4:30 p.m.
Overnight sleep studies are typically completed by 6:30 a.m. You and your child will be given a food voucher to be used in the Baptist Medical Center cafeteria.
As a parent, you know the value of a good night's sleep on your child's overall well-being. Our pediatric sleep medicine specialists at our Jacksonville clinic, know the value of your child getting a good night's sleep, too. It not only allows your child's body to rest from the day's activities, but it plays an important role in your child's mental and physical development. That's one reason why Nemours specialist are trained to diagnose and treat sleep apnea in children.
Our team of board-certified sleep medicine specialists, pediatric pulmonologists (lung doctors) and registered sleep technologists have advanced training in pediatric sleep medicine and treating sleep apnea in children.
To diagnose sleep apnea in children, we can schedule a sleep study evaluation conducted at the pediatric Sleep Disorders Center at Wolfson Children's Hospital — one of the many health care providers we partner with to ensure the Nemours quality of care. This study will help our specialists get to the bottom of what's going on, and address ways to help your child start sleeping — and feeling better again.
A pediatric sleep study is an important tool that measures the quantity, quality, and breathing patterns of your child's sleep. During normal sleep, the brain remains active and goes through several stages which can affect sleep.
The sleep study will help determine if your child:
- has a breathing or movement disorder
- problems falling or staying asleep
- is experiencing a behavioral sleep disorder such as:
- poor school performance
- mood disorders
- attention deficit
- daytime drowsiness
Rest assured, the sleep study is not scary or painful in any way. And, we'll make your child as comfortable as possible: you'll have a private room with a TV, linens and pillows.
Although your child should sleep alone in the sleep study bed, you can be right there at the bedside the whole time. You can sleep in the same room on a couch that converts into a bed.
The sleep study begins with a registered sleep technologist attaching painless, sticky sensors to your child's head, nose, mouth, chest, abdomen, index finger, and legs. When the sensors are removed, the sticky glue comes off easily in the bath. These sensors allow us to record your child's breathing and sleep patterns. Once your child is connected to all the monitors and the study is being recorded, the lights will be turned off.
The pediatric sleep study will last the entire night while we record your child's breathing and sleeping for up to eight hours.
It's a good idea to talk to your child a few days before the pediatric sleep study appointment. It may help to know that during the sleep study, you will be in the same room and your child can:
- call you or the sleep technician to go to the bathroom during the night if needed
- turn on the side to get comfortable
- call the sleep technician if the wires get tangled or start pulling
- the sticky glue comes off easily in a bath or shower
Be positive and reassuring. During the sleep study, encourage your child to relax and go to sleep. You may read a bedtime story to help calm your child.
- Wash your child's hair before the sleep study and do not use gels, mousse, sprays or lotions, as they may interfere with the testing.
- Make sure to feed your child dinner before arriving at the Sleep Center.
- Check with the nurse practitioner before you give your child any over-the-counter cold or medications the day of the study.
- Do not allow your child to drink caffeinated beverages or eat chocolate after noon on the day of the study.
- Call to reschedule if your child develops fever, cough, runny nose, or any other health issue the day of or the day before the sleep study.
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is the term for breathing difficulties that occur during sleep. This can include anything from frequent loud snoring to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which involves repeated episodes of partial or complete blockage of the airway during sleep.
Our program for children with sleep disordered breathing is the first of its kind in the Delaware Valley. The Complex Sleep Disordered Breathing Clinic (CSDBC) is a collaboration between our specialists in pulmonology and otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat, or ENT). The clinic allows for clinical decisions regarding your child's care to be made in a team-oriented fashion, since ENT and pulmonology staff members are seeing your child and your family the same day, in the same clinic.
For some children, sleep apnea can disappear after their tonsils and adenoids are removed, but not for all. For many in this latter group, a procedure called "drug-induced sleep endoscopy," (or DISE), may be recommended. This involves the use of a flexible tube with a tiny camera (endoscope), which is passed through one side of the nose as the child begins to snore and experience some blockage of breathing. The doctor can then observe the potential blockage of breathing in the palate, tongue and throat regions. The most appropriate treatment plan can then be made — medical, surgical or a combination of the two.

Fairfield, Conn.—Two Northeast Conference Champions represent Sacred Heart among the 2011-12 NEC Winter Scholar-Athlete award winners. Callan Taylor (Overland Park, Kan.) is the women's basketball recipient while Jacqueline Carbonetto (Blauvelt, N.Y.) is the women's bowling honoree.
A member of the 2012 NEC Champion Sacred Heart Women's Basketball team, Taylor was named the 2011-12 NEC Player of the Year and to the NEC All-Conference First Team. The small forward was also named to the NEC All-Tournament team after leading SHU to their second title in her four years as a Pioneer. The four-time Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Week ranked in the NEC top-ten in five categories her senior year: second in rebounding (9.6 rpg), second in three-point percentage (.416), third in field goal percentage (.494), sixth in scoring (16.3 ppg) and 10th in made three-pointers (1.63 per game). With her name all over the Sacred Heart record book, in her senior campaign, Taylor became the new all-time rebounding leader recording her 1,033rd against Monmouth in February. The Overland Park native is the first person in Sacred Heart's Division I history to record 1,000 career points and rebounds. Also one of the most decorated players in NEC history, the three-time All-NEC player's 52 double-doubles puts her atop the rest, while her 1,822 ranks eighth all-time and she is third in career rebounds with 1,123. Taylor graduated on Sunday with a 3.56 GPA in Exercise Science after being named to the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District Team for the second straight year.
Sacred Heart junior Carbonetto, a first team NTCA All-American, led the Pioneers to their second NEC title in three years and a berth into the NCAA Championship for the fifth time in program history. She was a first team All-NEC pick who finished third out of a very competitive field at the Kutztown Invitational and bowled a perfect 300 game at the Team USA Trials in Las Vegas on her way to an 18th place finish. As the Pioneers' anchor, Carbonetto averaged 21.47 pins per frame and filled 89.6 percent of frames bowled during NEC regular season play. Her frame average was the highest amongst all bowling in the 10-team league that featured five NTCA All-Americans during the 2011-12 campaign. Therowing 35 strikes in 63 attempts, Carbonetto posted a 20.45 baker frame average at the 2012 NEC Championships where Sacred Heart went 4-0 and defeated two-time NCAA champion Fairleigh Dickinson in the title match. Overall, she logged a 208.61 traditional game average over the course of the NCAA regular season.
Thirteen Pioneers were named to the 2011-12 NEC Winter Commissioner's Honor Roll with a grade point average of 3.75 or higher: Hayle Boyle (Oakdale, N.Y.), Julianne Cappadona (North Attleboro, Mass.), Michelle Navarro (Piscataway, N.J.), Alyssa Selmquist (Northford, Conn.), Sarah Wallis (Forked River, N.J.) and Ashia Wright (Cheshire, Conn.) of the women's track and field team; Matthew Lyhne (Wethersfield, Conn.) from the men's track and field team; from the women's bowling team, junior Jacqueline Willy (Clarence, N.Y.) and graduate student Erin Weinmann (Temple, Penn.); Blair Koniszewski (Vienna, Va.) and Kiley Evans (Cazenovia, N.Y.) of the women's basketball team; Philip Gaetano (Wallingford, Conn.) and Nick Greenbacker (Coventry, N.Y.) represented the men's basketball team.
Seventy-eight of Sacred Heart's winter student-athletes maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or higher to be named to the NEC Winter Academic Honor Roll.

ECB to start printing money
While it was expected, the decision of the European Central Bank (ECB) to start printing money has led to a wave of optimism on the European and global capital markets. The decision was welcomed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European political leaders, but most comments include warnings that this in itself will not be enough to tackle the challenges facing the real economy.
Market enthusiasm expected blow to the euro
After announcing the decision on Thursday all major markets Europe grew and the trend stays on Friday. Shares rose and the stock exchanges in emerging economies such as Hungary, Poland, Romania and Turkey. Optimism and carry markets in Asia and North America, which also took to the green. Yields on German government bonds with maturities of 10 and 30 years, respectively, fell to 0.317% and 0.97%, while the main index of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange DAX reached a new historical record. Spain and Italy also enjoy reduced financing costs, as yields on their ten-year bonds fell respectively to 1.297% and 1.459%. Investors increased demand for government securities from the UK, Scandinavia and the US, the yield on US 10-year bond dropped to 1.7820 percent.
The application that the March ECB will begin to pour 60 billion. Euros each month in the financial markets of the euro area led to the expected collapse of the single currency to 11-year lows. During Friday trading the euro fell to 1.1229 dollars, its lowest level since August 2003 The single currency depreciated for six consecutive weeks, which last happened in mid-2010, analysts from Morgan Stanley lowered its forecast Course of the single currency, now expect it to be $ 1.05 at the end of the year. Depreciation of the euro is the main effect that the ECB aims to printing money. Weak currency makes imported goods, which supports inflation, while manufactured goods made in the euro area more attractive for export, which should stimulate production.

UBC's access unit sold to private equity firm
Private equity firm Symphony Technology Group acquired the health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) and other divisions of United BioSource Corp. (UBC). Terms were not disclosed.
Symphony said the acquired divisions, which also include market access and retrospective epidemiology and data analytics, will form an independent portfolio company called Evidera.
In a statement, Jon Williams, Evidera president, called Symphony "the ideal match" for its business and said the private equity firm's experience across multiple industries "will allow us to serve our clients better."
It was the fifth acquisition of a pharma marketing-research company for Symphony and the latest since its May 2012 takeover of the Source analytics business from Wolters Kluwer, now managed under the name Source Healthcare Analytics.
After buying Source, the owner combined it with other portfolio companies to form parent entity Symphony Health Solutions. The latter comprises Source (longitudinal patient and physician-level prescribing and usage data, plus payer activity and pipeline analysis) and three other firms: ImpactRx (promotional effectiveness), TargetRx (physician metrics) and AlphaDetail (custom research).
At the time of Symphony Technology Group's last acquisition, a managing director told MM&M the private equity firm expected to make more acquisitions to "broaden [its] footprint."Evidera brings research capabilities that focus on optimizing market access and product value, according to the statement. Its knowledge of the global payer and regulatory landscape offers expertise in developing, capturing and communicating the evidence needed to show the value of treatments.

Until now.
Now I am going to use this as a forum to let it all out about Ian Somerholder. He is delightful and yummy. Some of you might remember him from "Lost"... or maybe a little known movie called "The Lost Samaritan"... I don't. I have purged all images of Ian except for his sexy role of Damon Salvatore in "The Vampire Diaries".
It's not his (obviously) dashing good looks that won me over... it's not the mystic color of his eyes (though very intoxicating)...
What it is... what it is, my friends, is the way he does "brooding" and the look on his face when he's in sheer anguish and denying his love for another. Ladies, I know you can understand my desire to jump right into the TV and give him a shoulder to cry on. He is, by far, one of the sexiest men on TV right now.
In the show, "The Vampire Diaries", Ian is not the main love interest (though I have high hopes this will change!); his brother, Stefan, is. And in the beginning of the show that was fine--human chick hooks up with nice, Edward-like vampire. This is the way these things go.
Then he happens along......and it's all I can do to not scream at Elena and tell her to open her eyes! He's in love with you. Forget the nice brother--take this one!!! PLEASE TAKE THIS ONE!!!
But, alas, the writers haven't asked me for input & I can tell they are just toying with me. The looks that past between the two of them, the situations they find themselves in... heavens, look at me, I'm swooning.

Straight skeleton
In geometry, a straight skeleton is a method of representing a polygon by a topological skeleton. It is similar in some ways to the medial axis but differs in that the skeleton is composed of straight line segments, while the medial axis of a polygon may involve parabolic curves.
Straight skeletons were first defined for simple polygons by Aichholzer et al. (1995),[1] and generalized to planar straight-line graphs by Aichholzer & Aurenhammer (1996).[2] In their interpretation as projection of roof surfaces, they are already extensively discussed by G. A. Peschka (1877).[3]
The straight skeleton of a polygon is defined by a continuous shrinking process in which the edges of the polygon are moved inwards parallel to themselves at a constant speed. As the edges move in this way, the vertices where pairs of edges meet also move, at speeds that depend on the angle of the vertex. If one of these moving vertices collides with a nonadjacent edge, the polygon is split in two by the collision, and the process continues in each part. The straight skeleton is the set of curves traced out by the moving vertices in this process. In the illustration the top figure shows the shrinking process and the middle figure depicts the straight skeleton in blue.
The straight skeleton may be computed by simulating the shrinking process by which it is defined; a number of variant algorithms for computing it have been proposed, differing in the assumptions they make on the input and in the data structures they use for detecting combinatorial changes in the input polygon as it shrinks.
- Aichholzer et al.[1][2] showed how to compute straight skeletons for arbitrary two-dimensional inputs in time O(n3 log n), or more precisely time O((n2+f) log n), where n is the number of vertices of the input polygon and f is the number of flip events during the construction. The best known bound for f is O(n3).
- An algorithm with a worst case running time in O(nr log n), or simply O(n2 log n), is given by Huber and Held (2010, 2011), who argue that their approach is likely to run in near-linear time for many inputs.[4][5]
- Petr Felkel and Štěpán Obdržálek designed an algorithm that is said to have an efficiency of O(nr + n log r).[6][7] However, it has been reported that their algorithm is incorrect.[8][9]
- By using data structures for the bichromatic closest pair problem, Eppstein and Erickson showed how to construct straight skeleton problems using a linear number of closest pair data structure updates. A closest pair data structure based on quadtrees provides an O(nr + n log n) time algorithm, or a significantly more complicated data structure leads to the better asymptotic time bound O(n1 + ε + n8/11 + εr9/11 + ε), or more simply O(n17/11 + ε), where ε is any constant greater than zero.[10] This remains the best worst-case time bound known for straight skeleton construction with unrestricted inputs, but is complicated and has not been implemented.
- For simple polygons, the problem of straight skeleton construction is easier. Cheng and Vigneron showed how to compute the straight skeleton of simple polygons with n vertices, r of which have angles greater than Pi, in time O(n log2 n + r3/2 log r).[11] In the worst case, r may be linear, in which case this time bound may be simplified to O(n3/2 log n).
- A monotone polygon with respect to a line L is a polygon with the property that every line orthogonal to L intersects the polygon in a single interval. When the input is a monotone polygon, its straight skeleton can be constructed in time O(n log n).[12]
Each point within the input polygon can be lifted into three-dimensional space by using the time at which the shrinking process reaches that point as the z-coordinate of the point. The resulting three-dimensional surface has constant height on the edges of the polygon, and rises at constant slope from them except for the points of the straight skeleton itself, where surface patches at different angles meet. In this way, the straight skeleton can be used as the set of ridge lines of a building roof, based on walls in the form of the initial polygon.[1][13] The bottom figure in the illustration depicts a surface formed from the straight skeleton in this way.
Demaine, Demaine and Lubiw used the straight skeleton as part of a technique for folding a sheet of paper so that a given polygon can be cut from it with a single straight cut (the fold-and-cut theorem), and related origami design problems.[14]
Barequet et al. use straight skeletons in an algorithm for finding a three-dimensional surface that interpolates between two given polygonal chains.[15]
Tănase and Veltkamp propose to decompose concave polygons into unions of convex regions using straight skeletons, as a preprocessing step for shape matching in image processing.[16]
Bagheri and Razzazi use straight skeletons to guide vertex placement in a graph drawing algorithm in which the graph drawing is constrained to lie inside a polygonal boundary.[17]
The straight skeleton can also be used to construct an offset curve of a polygon, with mitered corners, analogously to the construction of an offset curve with rounded corners formed from the medial axis. Tomoeda and Sugihara apply this idea in the design of signage, visible from wide angles, with an illusory appearance of depth.[18] Similarly, Asente and Carr use straight skeletons to design color gradients that match letter outlines or other shapes.[19]
As with other types of skeleton such as the medial axis, the straight skeleton can be used to collapse a two-dimensional area to a simplified one-dimensional representation of the area. For instance, Haunert and Sester describe an application of this type for straight skeletons in geographic information systems, in finding the centerlines of roads.[20][21]
Every tree with no degree-two vertices can be realized as the straight skeleton of a convex polygon.[22] The convex hull of the roof shape corresponding to this straight skeleton forms a Steinitz realization of the Halin graph formed from the tree by connecting its leaves in a cycle.
Higher dimensions[edit]
Barequet et al. defined a version of straight skeletons for three-dimensional polyhedra, described algorithms for computing it, and analyzed its complexity on several different types of polyhedron.[23]
Huber et al. investigated metric spaces under which the corresponding Voronoi diagrams and straight skeletons coincide. For two dimensions, the characterization of such metric spaces is complete. For higher dimensions, this method can be interpreted as a generalization of straight skeletons of certain input shapes to arbitrary dimensions by means of Voronoi diagrams.[24]

|Recently, the frequency-dependent Moran process has been introduced in order to describe evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations. Here, an alternative to this process is investigated that is based on pairwise comparison between two individuals. We follow a long tradition in the physics community and introduce a temperature (of selection) to account for stochastic effects. We calculate the fixation probabilities and fixation times for any symmetric 2×2 game, for any intensity of selection and any initial number of mutants. The temperature can be used to gauge continuously from neutral drift to the extreme selection intensity known as imitation dynamics. For some payoff matrices the distribution of fixation times can become so broad that the average value is no longer very meaningful.

Blood pressure problems are quite common these days as people feast on highly unhealthy diets, super stressed lifestyles, very sedentary habits like too much time spent on TV, and worse – for ever glued on mobile phones and Ipads.
Top Tips to Help you LOWER Blood Pressure NATURALLY
1# Eat Nitrate-rich vegetables
Vegetables are our best defense against most diseases as they are rich in natural substances that works for the body, not against it. They also contain fibre that is big in cleansing the colon, absorbing toxins, and escorting them out of the body.
The key component is the nitric oxide (converted from nitrates) which is essential in maintaining normal blood pressure.
Vegetables recommended are beetroot, spinach, celery, arugula and lettuce.
Beetroot seems to be the 'star' player in the battle against hypertension, as per a study by the researchers of Queen Mary University in London.
2# Fish Oil
Time and time again, fish oil comes out as one of the most recommended supplement for blood pressure and heart health. The key health factor? OMEGA 3 fatty acids.
Omega 3 is said to lower triglycerides that then could impact lessening the impact of cardiovascular diseases.
In my own experience, omega 3 seems to give me a 'lift' or clarity, reduction in the hazy visual feeling that I get when I eat bad foods, commonly known as 'brain fog'.
(try to find the best source of fish oils, ask the manufacturer if its sourced from the Pacific ocean, said to be contaminated with the Fukushima Radiation scare today)
#3 Load up on LYCOPENE
Lycopene is richly available in tomatoes. But these are best taken from cooked tomatoes as this form makes it more bioavailable. Lycopene acts as a scavenger of free radicals in the body, the very thing that causes major inflammations (free radicals).
Inflammation of the heart is tightly connected to blood pressure problems, hence lycopene is key to addressing this health issue.
Key sources for lycopene aside from tomatoes: papaya, guavas, watermelon and grapefruit.
#4 Cocoa
According to organicfacts.net, cocoa are rich in flavonoids. Now these flavonoids are said to help in lowering blood pressure due to its effect in, again, stimulating nitric oxide production, which as mentioned above – is highly beneficial in maintaining the elasticity of the blood vessels.
Cocoa is also rich in the flavanol called epicatechin, as per the wellness magazine called Natural Health (issue date August 2016). This antioxidant helps the arteries immensely by increasing the blood flow as much as 68%.
#5 Mindfullness
No doubt with the deluge of modern life unhealthy and fast practices, blood pressure problems affect 70 MILLION people in the USA today, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Mindfulness is the NEW 'alternative' cure
Mindfulless-based stress reduction has proven successful in helping alleviate the escalating problem of STRESS, as per a clinical study published on the site called Medical News Today a very big factor in triggering blood pressure problems. Mindfullness practices like YOGA, meditation, Tai Chi and Chi Kung are great examples.
Address STRESS, your best weapon. My personal belief. And I strongly believe stress is the number one source of our health problems these days.
With my years of reading and personal research, I believe that constant Body Relaxation through HEALING audio meditations sets the stage for helping the body gain ground in its healing capacity, activating the body's cells to health itself by lessening INFLAMMATORY markers or hormones in the body which are brought upon by constant bombardment of NEGATIVE and STRESSFUL thoughts which in time can manifest in the PHYSICAL.

MIPS/MACRA Final Rule: A carrot is better than a stick!
With the January 2018 deadline fast approaching and very few EHRs certified for the ONC 2015 Edition Certification, Doctors will get a one year extension so that they can continue to use 2014 edition of EHRs into next year. Instead of getting a 25 percent reduction in their reimbursement payment, those that are using a 2015 edition certified EHR will gain a 10 percent bonus in the meaningful use part of their MIPS payments. Full details are posted in the Federal Register. This post will be updated when we get a chance to read the 1000+ page document.

This is not just going to be a coastal event
Rick Knabb
U.S. President Barack Obama said Hurricane Sandy is "a serious and big storm" and urged people living along the Eastern Seaboard to "take this very seriously."
After meeting Sunday with Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate at FEMA headquarters in Washington, and then speaking by telephone with governors of states threatened by the storm, the president said "everybody is confident that the staging process, the prepositioning of resources, commodities, equipment that are going to be needed to respond to this storm are in place."
"But as Craig has emphasized, this hasn't hit landfall yet, so we don't yet know where it's going to hit, where we're going to see the biggest impacts," he said. "And that's exactly why it's so important for us to respond big and respond fast as local information starts coming in.
"This is a serious and big storm," Obama said. "And my first message is to all the people across the Eastern seaboard, mid-Atlantic, going north, that you need to take this very seriously and follow the instructions of your state and local officials, because they are going to be providing you with the best advice in terms of how to deal with this storm over the coming days."
Fugate urged the public to heed evacuation orders and take measures to prepare for the storm -- including steps posted at Ready.gov.
Obama Sunday signed a declaration of a state of emergency in Maryland and ordered federal aid to supplement state and local response to the storm.
Amtrak said Sunday all U.S. northeast corridor service has been canceled for Monday. Bus and subway service in New York City will shut down Sunday night as the Big Apple braced for Hurricane Sandy, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.
In its 5 p.m. EDT update, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Sandy could generate life-threatening storm surge flooding along the mid-Atlantic Coast, including Long Island Sound and New York Harbor, along with coastal hurricane winds and heavy snows in the Appalachians.
The NHC said Sandy was 530 miles south-southeast of New York and 270 miles east-southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., with top sustained winds of 75 mph. The storm was moving northeast at 15 mph.
That general motion was expected to continue Sunday evening, followed by a turn to the north and then the northwest Sunday night and early Monday. On its forecast track, the center of the storm is expected to be near the mid-Atlantic coast Monday night.
Hurricane-force winds extended outward as much as 175 miles from the storm's center and tropical storm-force winds extended as much as 520 miles.
A tropical storm warning was discontinue from Surf City, N.C., southward.
Tropical storm conditions were being reported over coastal North Carolina and southeastern Virginia.
Forecasters said winds could be at hurricane force when Sandy makes landfall, and then weaken as it moves inland.
Commuter rail service in New York will be suspended as the huge storm lumbers along the U.S. Atlantic coast on a path to bring it ashore in northern New Jersey overnight.
"I do think Monday and Tuesday are going to be difficult days," said Joseph Lhota, chairman of the Metropolitan Transit Authority.
Neighboring New Jersey evacuated coastal areas and ordered casinos along the Atlantic City boardwalk to close Sunday afternoon. The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger said toll booths on the Jersey turnpike were shut down to speed up the flow of traffic away from the shore.
The suspension of public transportation was only part of the hurried preparations under way along the East Coast. The New York Times said hardware stores and supermarkets were mobbed this weekend and states of emergency were declared in six states and the District of Columbia.
Utilities were on full alert and warned coastal residents to expect lengthy power outages during and after the storm. Airlines grounded scores of flights in advance, leaving travelers to rearrange or cancel their trips.
Sandy is expected to plow headlong into a chilly east-bound winter weather system at some point, which forecasters fear will mean a long stretch of stormy weather stretching well inland.
"This is not just going to be a coastal event," said Rick Knabb, director of the National Hurricane Center.

Political prisoners in the Gambia are getting reunited with their families, for many, after years being unlawfully detained by the regime of former President Yahya Jammeh.
Gambia's new President Adama Barrow has vowed to release all political prisoners when he assumes office, a declaration welcomed by rights groups.
"After 22 years of fear, Gambians now have a unique opportunity to become a model for human rights in West Africa, in which no one need to be afraid to stand up or speak out," said Steve Cockburn, Amnesty International Deputy Regional Director for West and Central Africa.
Joyful families and activists posted pictures of some of the freed prisoners on social media welcoming them to a newly liberated nation.
For some families and activists, nothing has been heard of their people. They are teaming up with activists to publicize that their loved ones are still being held and would like them to be released.
Gambia's Yahya Jammeh has been a notorious human rights abuser. Arbitrary arrests and detention were a norm under his regime. UN human rights office had expressed serious concerns during his reign.

Below are short videos depicting what you might expect to experience in our different styles of yoga classes. These are designed specifically to help new practioners get a better understanding of what to expect before coming in to the studio. Videos were filmed, directed, and edited by IWC Pictures, who also composed and performed the music.
Static – In a static class, you will experience a series of postures performed individually with a short pause in between each pose. This class can be a vigorous and well-rounded workout, but is also very appropriate for beginners. It will provide both the new and advanced practitioners with a solid foundation that is useful in other classes offered at SWEAT. Expect a lot of feedback on proper form and alignment. Approximately 2/3 of each class will consist of standing poses, with the remaining 1/3 of class being spent on the floor.
Flow – In a flow class, postures are strung together in multiple series. As the name suggests, a practitioner can expect to "flow" from one posture to the next in this style of class, using the breath to guide the movement. The pace of this class is generally quicker than a static equence, leaving less time for focus on form and alignment, but providing a vigorous cardiovascular workout. Expect up-tempo music and a more playful atmosphere. Generally, this wouldn't be the best choice for your first yoga class, but new practitioners are always welcome. This is a great complement to a static practice because it offers variety in addition to greater focus on upper-body and core work. In the 60-minute version, expect to be on your feet almost the entire time. The 90-minute version will include a floor series.
Flow 2.0 – This "Level Two" class is taught in a very similar style to its Flow counterpart, but incorporates some more technically complex postures. Expect to attempt arm balances, inversions, and more difficult transitions between series. This class is most appropriate for the experienced yogi who is looking to advance his or her practice in a safe environment with highly experienced instructors. If you don't know whether this class is appropriate for you, just ask at the studio. If you've never heard of arm-balancing or inverting, but you're curious, this might be something to try. Worst case – you can always watch. This class will consist of a 75-minute vigorous workout with a 15-minute question and answer session.

Dr. Vinay Sarvotham is a Bangalore based leading acupressure and craniosacral therapist. He delivers non-invasive therapy in spinal slipped Disc management and has named this therapy Acu-Cranio. His father is a renowned acupressure therapist since 1983. Dr Vinay got all the secrets and techniques of acupressure therapy from his father. He is professionally trained from Singapore. Dr. Vinay treats slipped disc, herniated disc, back pain, sciatic pain, bulged disc, disc tear etc
Dr. Vinay uses acu-cranio therapy which involves decompressing the affected spinal disc without surgery. Dr Vinay's non-surgical approach for treating this conditions attracts people from all walks of life and from across the globe come to Bangalore to get themselves to get treated... Read more
The most common disc injury is a small crack or micro tear in the tough (outer fibers of the disc)
The soft jeliy-like material in the middle of the disc pushes to one side, forward
The disc loses its fluid content and degenerates down to a rough, worn-down
A piece of disc material separates away and becomes a fragment or a free-floating piece.
The soft jelly-like material from the nucleus in the middle of the disc ruptures
I had slipped disc problem few years back. Spent lots of money roaming doctors to doctors until I came to know about Dr Vinay. Vinay gave permanent fix to spinal chord in 20 days and the pain never reoccurred. It has been 2 years now.
Dr. Vinay is like oasis in desert. After visiting more than 10 doctors from 2 years, finally I happened to visit him with reference from one of our family friends. He cured my spinal ache within 15 days
I am an agriculturist. I used to suffer from pain in his neck, shoulders and arms which used to restrict me at work. I underwent different treatments but it did not solve my problem I had heard about you from a friend and came to see you. On the second day itself I felt better and inside of a month I was back to my normal self with your treatment. You sure have some skill in operating those fingers on the spine.
According to other doctors i needed a surgery for my back pain. But Dr Sarvotham gave a fix without surgery. Saved my money, time and pain
I have been suffering from severe back pain since past 3 years. Ultimately i got treatment tailor fitted to my problem and the pain has ceased to exist. Thanks doctor !!!
Very quick recovery I had back pain, shoulder pain & numbness for more than 15years. It was very difficult for me to do day to day work because of this ailment. I tried varieties of treatments like Allopathic medicines, Ayurvedic medicines & some ointments. But it was not cured. At last I met Dr.Sarvotham for Acupressure treatment.
Very positive treatment makes the patient.

Where Did Those Naked Ladies Come From?
How the Chinese edition of my book about the periodic table got such a risqué cover.
I've been lucky enough to have my book published in a few countries now, and despite the universal subject matter—the periodic table—each country has had a different take on it. Some publishers merely tweaked the book: The British, for instance, re-imagined the cover. More drastically, the Germans changed both the cover and the title, from The Disappearing Spoon— a title derived from a classic nerdy science prank—to Die Ordnung der Dinge, which translates, I'm told, to the weightier, "the order of things." I'm also excited to see upcoming editions from Iceland and Korea—even if there is something strange about thumbing through pages of words I know I wrote and not having any idea what they say.
Still, all this national variety didn't prepare me for a Chinese edition of Spoon from Taiwan. From an overstuffed envelope I pulled out a book with a sleek, silver-and-black cover. Quite striking. And appropriately, an X-rayed hand was grasping a metallic spoon near the top. But just below that, spilling down from the spoon, there appeared a scattering of incongruous icons. There was a spade labeled "oxygen"; a diamond labeled "europium"; a fried egg and frying pan labeled "sodium"; and a raincloud raining upside-down labeled "carbon." None of these motifs appear in my book, and these icons didn't seem to fit the elements they're paired with.
I also hadn't written about toys or movies, so I couldn't make sense of what looked like Transformers logos for "gold" and "plutonium." But most baffling were the smutty icons: a smiling anime sperm ("hydrogen"), two naked women thrust into suggestive poses ("barium" and "iodine"), and a slightly drooping dildo named "zinc." (Why not silicon?) The envelope also contained a note from my American publisher: "Who knew iodine was so sexy?"
Who indeed. I'd filled the book with tales about the elements that were spooky, funny, touching, macabre—but I never thought of myself as writing something a teenage boy might stash beneath his mattress. (The iodine story in The Disappearing Spoon talked about those noted hunks Gandhi and Bertrand Russell.) Was this a gross mistranslation? Dadaist whimsy?
To get to the bottom of the mystery, I emailed a friend who has lived in China for years. She was equally nonplussed. Next I tracked down the publisher's website. Thinking myself hot on the trail, I found that they'd recently published The Joy of Orgasm and The Pickup Artist: The New and Improved Art of Seduction. So maybe this was a risqué operation all around. But both of those books had inexplicably tame covers.
I finally got in touch with the jacket designer for the translation, Bianco Tsai. (Aside from tidying up some informal email punctuation for print, all quotes that follow are sic. English is not Tsai's first language. I hasten to add, though, that her English is approximately infinity times better than my Chinese.). It turns out that her inspiration for the cover actually paralleled my own motivation in writing the book: "We usually have many technology books, [which] are serious, serious, serious, and bored!!" she wrote via email. "So, this one, we want to make it more fun and interesting, to catch people's eyes, and make them curious about it."
She succeeded there. The one element emblem of hers I'd grasped immediately was the cartoon bomb with a lit fuse, for cesium, since cesium can be explosively reactive. Tsai confirmed my guess: "Cesium is dangerous, so I use a bomb." As for oxygen, she offered, "Oxygen is really important, we can't live without it. So I use 'ace spade,'" the ace of spades being a trump in various card games. Even the zinc schlong started to make sense, sort of: "When a men was weak in sex, his wife might give him some seafood, [and] the seafood have many zinc. That is why I draw that icon for zinc."
In the end, Tsai said, "I have to built a bridge to connect our culture to your book!" I still think her cover looks sharp, and if Tsai says that it bridges my book to Chinese culture, I believe her. If so, though, it's a one-way bridge. Trying to decipher the cover still leads to an uncanny feeling for me. Something I'd labored over for years, and written and rewritten until I'd practically memorized it, had became alien. It's what those poor characters in neurologist Oliver Sacks' books must feel like when they suddenly have a stroke or something and can't recognize their own faces in the mirror. It was yet another reminder that although the periodic table is universal, people's reactions to it are anything but.

Innocent DNA
The year began where 2008 left off with the ongoing row over the national DNA database and the storing of profiles of innocent people. The European Court of Human Rights had ruled last year that a blanket retention policy was unlawful but attempts by the Home Office to address the ruling only fuelled the protestations.
The first proposals were issued in May, when ministers suggested keeping "innocents" for up to 12 years which met immediate criticism. By November the proposals had been watered down to a maximum of six years for innocents.
But the debate will continue next year because the Conservatives have threatened to obstruct the Crime and Security Bill, which contains the latest plans, unless the Home Office reviews it once again.
The reputation of DNA took a further hit last month when the Human Genetics Commission, a Government watchdog, claimed police are arresting people just so they can take their DNA and boost numbers on the national database.
State spying
The spectre of a surveillance state continued with plans to give police the power to track every phone call, email and website visit of every member of the public.
The move was billed as necessary to help the security services keep up with terrorists and criminals who take advantage of increasingly advanced technology and originally even raised the prospect of a giant database to store the information.
Privacy campaigners were out in force and while the Home Office dropped the idea of a database as being too intrusive, a proposed requirement to make service providers to keep a record, in case it is needed in the future, remains on the table.
Council spying
And it was not just the security services who wanted to keep a watch on the public.
It emerged in August that councils, police and other public bodies are seeking access to people's private telephone and email records almost 1,400 times a day.
The authorities made more than 500,000 requests for confidential communications data over 12 months – the equivalent of one every minute.
The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act gives authorities the power to request access the information but town halls were accused of abusing it for minor offences such as dog fouling or "bin crimes". New guidance in November effectively barred councils from using the powers for "trivial" matters.
Criminal checks
If being watched wasn't enough, the subject of background checks on millions of people also came under close scrutiny with the dawning of the Independent Safeguarding Authority.
The new body, and the Government, were the focus of intense criticism over the introduction of strict new vetting rules for anyone who wants to work with children and vulnerable adults.
Even parents who transport their friends' children on behalf of sports or social clubs will have to undergo criminal record checks and be formally cleared by the ISA.
The Government relented slightly earlier this month after a review changed the definition of the level of contact required before falling under the new system but it will still cover at least nine million people.
The Nutt Professor
Alan Johnson was hardly in his new role as Home Secretary before he was embroiled in row with his chief drugs adviser that quickly escalated in to debate over the Government's treatment of scientific advice.
Mr Johnson sacked Professor David Nutt as chairman of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs after accusing him of "crossing the line" into politics following a series of public statements and criticisms of the Government's drugs policy.
It sparked resignations from the ACMD in protest of Prof Nutt's treatment and a wider debate on whether ministers took independent scientific advice seriously.
The Dutch MP
Alan Johnson was also left to react after a far-right Dutch MP, whose anti-Muslim film led to racist violence, won his fight to come to Britain.
Geert Wilders, who is accused of "Islamophobia", was barred in February after Jacqui Smith, the home secretary at the time, said his presence would threaten community security. He wanted to broadcast his short film Fitna, which describes the Koran as a "fascist book" but was turned back at Heathrow Airport after still trying to gain entry.
But in October, by which time Mr Johnson was in the Home Office, Mr Wilders won an appeal against the decision at the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal.
A Biggs Affair
Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, had his own issue with a high profile figure with the very public release of Ronnie Biggs, the train robber.
Mr Straw initially rejected a recommendation by the Parole Board to release Biggs, who spent 35 years on the run before returning to the UK in 2001 to continue a 30-year sentence, arguing that he was "wholly unrepentant".
But just a month later, in August, he released him instead on compassionate grounds due to ill health after doctors said his severe pneumonia was not expected to improve.
Following the case, Mr Straw gave up all responsibility for the release of prisoners in a clause contained in the Coroners and Justice Act which was passed in November.
Missing criminals
There was a further headache for Jack Straw when he admitted up to 1,000 criminals, including murderers and rapists, who should have been recalled to prison were still at large.
One murderer had been missing for a quarter of a century and dozens should have been recalled because they had committed new offences. The revelations, in July, followed a nationwide audit but by October the running total was at 750.
Continuing the prison theme, it emerged in November that murderers, rapists and other prisoners are being allowed up to 100 days ''holiday'' away from their cells to ease pressure on overcrowded jails and prepare them for resettlement towards the end of their sentence.
Some inmates can even spend up to a month at a time doing community service outside their prisons. The number of convicted criminals offered so-called Resettlement Overnight Release (ROR) in the final years of their sentence had trebled in two years.
Booming population
The future of Britain's population dominated, as ever, the immigration debate throughout the year but there was a twist in the tale in August when a sharp rise in fertility rates among UK-born women helped push the country in to a new baby boom.
The population hit a record 61.4 million as mothers had more children than at any time since 1973, although mothers born abroad still accounted for half the birth increase.
By December, the Office for National Statistics told us that more one in ten people living in Britain was born abroad – a record level – while the Home Secretary fuelled the big question of whether the population will hit a landmark 70 million within two decades by suggesting the public are being needlessly "terrorised" by such a spectre.
Foreign workers
The recession saw tensions around the growth of foreign workers boil over and as early as February there were protests at oil refineries and power plants around the country.
On the wider issue, Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, saw his slogan of "British jobs for British workers" come back to haunt him as it emerged that thousands of migrant workers were getting jobs while Britons were losing theirs.
However, the downturn also led to increasing numbers of migrant workers, especially Eastern Europeans, returning home.

The sun is shining the birds are chirping and your child with the musical muse is just not feeling like devoting any time to lessons today. The lazy days of summer don't have to mean a lackadaisical attitude about practicing music. Here are MMS's top ten tips to keep your young musician's practice routine sizzling during the summer!
1. Keep your child's instrument handy. A closed guitar case tucked under a bed is not very motivating. Keep the instrument out, tuned and ready to play.
2. Realize summer means lots of kids in your home. Organize a concert for the neighborhood. Little ones can make signs and big kids can create programs. Making the "concert" a week-long project will most certainly motivate your young musician to rehearse.
3. Summer vacations often mean time at cabins, condos or even camping. If it's not possible to take your main instrument, consider purchasing inexpensive flutes…
