Not sure if it was mentioned in the commentary but Joe Ford's (unemployed) Dad was at the match. The last time I saw him was at Nottingham, where Joe also played out of his skin.
We need Ford Senior next Friday!
Hope so Almo, although I doubt we could afford him.
Glad you managed to give your captors the slip!

The longevity test, developed by Dr. Claudio Gil Araújo, is a simple sitting-rising test designed to measure strength and flexibility and, in turn, determine who lives longer. It demonstrates the need for individuals to remain fit, flexible and strong as they age, reducing the risk of serious falls and injuries.Continue Reading
The test requires a bare-foot individual to go from standing to sitting on the floor, returning to a standing position, without relying on limbs for support but using core strength to move. Based on a 10-point scale, losing balance or relying on a limb for support while moving results in point deductions. The higher the number of total points, the greater longevity for the individual. A study found that individuals aged 51 to 80 who scored less than eight points were twice as likely to die within the next six years than those who scored higher.Learn more about Fitness & Exercise

Curriculum at KS3
Years 7 & 8 study topics ranging from Ecology to Space on a monthly rotation. The focus of teaching is on the acquisition of key skills known as 'How Science Works' alongside knowledge and content. Students are provided with Ladder sheets which contain information on the objectives for each topic, and homework task sheets for topics in which each week they are expected to submit a piece of either creative, skill, or knowledge based work. The final week's homework is a revision exercise in preparation for their end of unit assessment. To ensure assessment is both rigorous and focused on supporting student progression, students undertake a range of assessments, in addition to their end of unit assessment, within each topic.
Students are supported in their learning through the department's lunch time Science club every Wednesday. There are many excellent websites students can access to deep their knowledge of science including BBC bitesize.
Curriculum at KS4
GCSE Science starts in year 9. Most students follow a Combined Science curriculum which leads to a GCSE in Science and a second GCSE in Additional Science. Most students will sit all of their exams at the end of year 11. We also have a group of students in year 10 and 11 who are studying for separate GCSE's in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Students are supported in their study of GCSE Science through topic target sheets, outlining objectives as well as topic homework tasks and through websites like BBC bitesize and the Edexcel website where students can access past papers and mark schemes.
Examination body
Most Year 11 students will complete their Core and Additional Science GCSEs with Edexcel in June 2017.
The Year 11 triple science group having already completed their Chemistry GCSE and will take their Biology and Physics exams in June 2017; also through the Edexcel exam board.
Useful resources
GCSE Revision guides are available to purchase from the Science Department at a cost of £3.00

Best CrossFit Shoes…..Out Top Five Picks
Since the creation of CrossFit regime by Greg Glassman several decades ago, it has taken the fitness industry by storm. It is based on maximizing the amount of work in a shortest time; hence involve gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and many such exercises. Each one of these games poses its own unique challenge. Therefore, athletes try to select best CrossFit shoes that are best suitable to lift, jump, push or pull.
Generally people confuse CrossFit shoes with the running shoes; nonetheless the essential difference between these is in the stiffness of sole from one end to the other. CrossFit shoes are more solid and flexible. They are also lower in height that provides more stability and prevents ankle sprains. CrossFit shoes wrap around feet more solidly and let them remain in one position inside the shoes. While there are many choices of CrossFit shoes available in the market to select from, today, we are presenting our top five picks for you;

Unique Personalized Content Engine Delivers Added Value for Consumers, Newsreaders and Advertisers
Unique Personalized Content Engine Delivers Added Value for Consumers, Newsreaders and Advertisers
RIDGELAND, MS--(Marketwired - Mar 25, 2014) - Vu Digital today announced that the company marked its first year of operation by winning more than half a million users, and launching new products for e-retailers, news organizations and other verticals -- with new developments in video underway.
Vu, an app available on iOS and Android devices, proved the model for the next generation of content delivery by offering a unique experience: a service that learns the specific interests of each user and automatically delivers content on any topic. Vu uses predictive analytics and natural language processing to deliver tailored content based on known and likely future customer interests ranging from style and fashion to hobbies, music, art, politics, sports, entertainment, business and finance, technology, opinions and world, national or local news, or any other subject.
"With Flipboard's recent acquisition of Zite, there is growing recognition that newsreaders represent a huge draw for media companies and advertisers," said B. Wade Smith, Vu Digital Vice President of Operations. "By using analytics to deliver tailored content to the individual, Vu provides additional value for consumers and news organizations."
In its first year, Vu Digital added new apps that benefit major vertical industries across multiple categories: Vu Finder and Vu Profiling.
Designed for news organizations, e-retailers and other verticals, Vu Finder uses widgets that customize a company's website to deliver targeted content precisely matched to product offers. Vu Finder instantly learns, finds and delivers the exact content desired by the customer, and is scalable to support millions of customers in real time.
Leveraging Vu's "learn the customer" foundation, Vu Profiling lets e-retailers create a physical record of a customer's visits to a website -- without "cookies." As a customer interacts online, the e-retailer benefits from an up-to-the-second accurate profile that drives sales via personal recommendations keyed to that individual's current interests and purchasing preferences.
At press time, Vu developers were nearing completion of a new app. "The next release will redefine the worlds of video, search and advertising," said Vu's B. Wade Smith. "Stay tuned."

(This one's on the longer side. But I've done my best to split it up into sections so if you're pressed for time, feel free to scroll down to whatever section interests you.)
Where We're Going
On Sunday, February 11, ESOC will celebrate a birthday. Its own. This post is a look back on the year that was, with a nod to the future. But first, we've got some invitations to tend to. Because, like any good birthday, we're throwing a party. And we're playing cards.
"But CurassierAndCurassier/Montcalm17," you say, "This is an Age of Empires 3 forum, why would we play cards?"
Well, we're not playing poker, or Uno, or hanafuda. We're playing cards Age of Empires style. Specifically, we're hosting a tournament of Cards, the minigame designed by @Interjection , on the 11th to mark our anniversary. You can download the minigame here (viewtopic.php?t=9748) and if you need a little convincing, well, just check this video out.
Come one come all, no PR minimum required to join the fun. But if you prefer to sit back and watch, you'll be treated to a laid back casting featuring two ESOC greats: The aforesaid Interjection, and the man himself @_H2O .
Signups for the event will be open from 12:00 to 14:00 GMT on February 11th, and the games will begin at 15:00. Signup is simple: Just go to your MyESOC page. https://eso-community.net/my-esoc.php
This little mini-tournament is only a teaser for a year that promises to be one of innovation and experimentation in the ESOC world. We will kick off year 3 by leaving supremacy behind for a moment and delving into the strange world of treaties in @QueenOfdestiny 's Time2Treaty tournament. Strap in for long battles and intensive micro. Prepare yourself for astronomical resource numbers and body counts. Marvel at strange, never before seen in a major tournament cards: Unction! Fur Trade! South Sea Bubble! Medicine! House of Braganca!
OK maybe not House of Braganca. No tournament will ever make House of Braganca useful.
And no sooner will the winner be crowned than the next tournament begin, taking Age of Empires deep into the heart of darkness.
Wars of Liberty
The Age of Exploration is over.
In the West, native empires rise in South America for the first time since the days of Atahualpa. Though free of their Old World oppressors. The crown jewel of the continent is the mighty Brazilian Empire, and its massive army built on the backs of slaves. But now it makes itself the target of the smaller states. Will it survive, or will a new empire emerge after the fray?
In the North, the American Republic is crumbling. The fate of Democracy hangs in the balance. There are no neutral parties here; a side must be taken. The industrious Union, or the rough-riding Confederacy. Your pick will determine your story, your fight, your destiny.
Across the Atlantic, the Old World looks to rebuild their empires in the swirling sands and dense jungles of Africa. But the land is occupied, host to mighty empires and ancient civilizations of its own, and they will not bow to their invaders. They will resist. If Africa is to be colonized, it will have to be taken. River by river, jungle by jungle.
Where We've Been
The Patch
The latest versions of the ESOC Patch have created plenty of talking points and debate. The dev team behind took this past year to experiment a little more than before, leading to some very interesting changes. This past year saw the EP make the biggest change to the game yet: Spanish Gold.
In the base game, Spanish Gold is an Age IV shipment that gives saloons and galleons +50% hitpoints and lets you train stronger pirates. It is useless on top of being horrifically historically inaccurate (Pirates fighting for Spain??) and was probably sent once or twice in the history of the base game. Now, Spanish Gold is a resource shipment that gives Spain coin crates with each successive shipment. It's not terribly strong, but at least playable. This sort of change, beyond tweaking numbers and instead altering the entire purpose of the card, was a first for the EP team.
On the current patch, Britain and the Sioux have received large boosts in power. Britain seems to be generally seen as the best, and Brit mirrors were a staple of 2017. But the Sioux's rise was more intriguing. Still not terribly popular, the increases to their durability and gathering made them at last a genuine terror to face and gave their distinct playstyle more credence. Throughout the year Aizamk and @goongoon constantly frustrated and confounded with them.
Elsewhere, a 10 HP nerf to Sepoys proved controversial, despite a reduction to India's house costs. Ultimately, it didn't seem to deter players from India. They were used in 6 games in the semi-finals and finals of the most recent tournament, with Sepoys aplenty.
We had an explosion of new maps in 2017. Almost too many to really go through, but the beautifully designed Thar Desert and the intriguingly idiosyncratic Herald Island and Wadmalaw also deserve shoutouts. See the full list of maps and download them here: maps.php
Spring 2017
BlackStar_OP had some unfinished business.
In the Spring of 2015, he had risen to the top of the Age of Empires world with a thrilling, all-time-classic triumph over _H2O, in a finals series that needed all eleven games. In Summer, he returned for a title defense. He tore through his competition, not losing a single game in his first four rounds. He surely scanned the competition: _H2O, despite bringing him to the brink last time, had not returned. Garja had been knocked out early. He seemed destined for a date with Samwise12 in the finals.
But then the impossible happened.
He lost to BadSpeed in the round of 8.
For all of 2016, we did not see him. Without his presence, _H2O and LordRaphael split back to back finals series. As the new year dawned, it was those two names everyone floated as the favorites. But Blackstar had other plans. It had been nearly two years since he toppled _H2O and stunned the community. But now, with his legend fading, he made his return. And he had only one thing on his mind.
The story of the Spring 2017 tournament was his revenge tour. He got off to a torrid start as with last time, sweeping four straight rounds. He dropped one game to Mitoe in the semi-finals, but still steamrolled his way to a date with LordRaphael in the final match. It was tense, and the reigning champ gave BlackStar a ferocious fight, but in the end, BlackStar_OP had his revenge. It was one hell of a comeback tour and a clear sign for the coming year: Things were going to be different.
Warchiefs Classic
In the doldrums of summer, as a prelude to the coming grand tournament in Autumn, the community shone a light on the first inhabitants of the New World. Every game in the tournament required one civilization from the Warchief expansion to be present. This was no place for players used to standard European armies. It was the field ground for players who could innovate, adapt, play an unconventional or even unique style.
Someone like Aizamk.
The mighty bovine man needs no introduction here. But it bears noting despite his popularity, despite his brilliant ideas, he hadn't yet won a major tournament. Perhaps he'd gotten in his own head a little too much and over-thought things. Perhaps he'd been afraid to get creative and played against his strengths. Nevertheless, it was clear from the outset that this was a different Aizamk in the Warchiefs classic. He was still tricky, and as fun to watch as ever. But there was another narrative as well this time.
He wanted to win.
It came down to a finals match between him and diarouga. After splitting the first two games, Aizamk found another gear to switch into, and put on a complete showcase with the Sioux in game 4. This game really signalled the beginning of an era in the ESOC world. Aizamk showcased the strengthening of the Sioux civ that the ESOC Patch had engineered. The new media team was complete and off and running. And after a year where two players played in each final match, 2017 had two different winners.
And there would be a third.
Autumn 2017
It was not a good time to be considered a favorite.
_H2O started, but dropped out early on.
LordRaphael fell in the semi-finals to GoonGoon in a series that wasn't particularly close.
Goodspeed lost in the second round.
Tedere12 knocked off GivesUAnxiety and StanleyWinston during an electrifying Cinderella run to begin the tournament.
But none of these would wind up being the biggest story of Autumn. That would belong to the Canadian.
As was the case with his former Smackdown frenemy in the Warchiefs Classic, @Mitoe looked like a different player this tournament. His path was not easy: He had to get through Cohenski, Tit, and Kaiserklein (who had just bested him in the bronze medal match in Spring) to make it to the finals. There he played a great series against GoonGoon, was decided on a clash between France, that old powerhouse from the very first days of Age of Empires 3, and the Sioux, the upstart civ made a superpower by the latest patch. Here the Sioux's run of glory ended. Mitoe did not panic when GoonGoon took the early advantage. He held on, turned the tides, and took his place in the pantheon of greats.
Aizamk's Craziest Build Yet
You know the whole "could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot he could not eat it?" joke? Well, could @Aizamk create a build so terrible he could not win with it? He tried in 2017, and it turns out, no. He can make literally anything work, as seen by what may actually be his craziest build yet.
If you haven't seen it in action already, I will attempt to describe it to you. It's a sort of naked FF combined with a consulate rush, except instead of shipping units from the consulate, he researches upgrades to home city shipment rates, and snowballs an army of shipped mercenaries.
Oh, and it's also a 10/10.
And also it's with Japan.
This thing is crazy. It's absolutely bloody bonkers. It goes against everything Japan is built to do, and yet... it worked way more than it should have. Aizamk's figured out something about the timing of it all. He's shipping Ronin right as his opponent is pushing into his base, and when he wins it's because the Ronin arrive and pop out right onto a poor besieging army. Facing this build is not the time to keep calm and ship Mams, (if the Ronin don't kill them the following Ninjas will) it's the time you question everything you ever learned about this game. And when he beats you with an army of no more than two dozen soldiers backed up by maybe 12 villagers, while you did everything right and proper, well, all you can do is sit back and let the existential crisis wash over you. What is meta? Why even bother playing standard? Who even thinks of this sort of thing anyway?!?
The New Media Team
There was some turnover to both ESOC teams this year, and lots of new faces and names. By the end of the year, the media team had a new leader (@Mr_Bramboy handed the role over to @MCJim ) and added long time caster and everybody's favorite Belgian Chrisie10101, as well as the one and only @XeeleeFlower, to help run the show. They also brought on some dude who can't even spell Curaissier correctly and forgets that he made an ESO account and has to confusingly go by two different usernames. Loser.

Access to water is a basic human right needed to sustain life and health. It is an essential goal for all countries and civic bodies to provide safe and reliable piped water to every household. Though access to drinking water has improved in the past few years, yet the quality of water continues to be a major concern in India.
Governments give more priority to providing access to drinking water, than on improving the quality of water. According to the World Bank, 21% of communicable diseases in India are related to unsafe water and about 37.7 million Indians suffer from waterborne diseases, annually. According to an estimate, 1.5 million children die due to diarrhoea alone. An estimated 73 million working days are lost due to waterborne diseases, which add an economic burden worth $600 million, every year.
DA has adopted a science-market-policy framework, for providing access to safe drinking water to all. It innovates affordable and appropriate technology options that cater to physical, economic and ecological requirements. It has developed technologies, such as Jal TARA Filter and Arsenic Filter, so that people have access to safe drinking water.
DA works towards creating an ecosystem for supply of affordable and appropriate technologies to beneficiaries. Currently, DA is working to create demand and awareness for Aqua+ (Liquid Chlorine) in the slums of Delhi, through a multi-level marketing model and facilitating behaviour change communication activities for creating demand on ground. DA is also working with half a million people residing in Delhi's slums, by creating demand for safe drinking water solutions.
There is a need to promote Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage (HWTS) methods. DA does policy research and advocacy for inclusion of these methods so that everyone has access to safe drinking water. It is promoting HWTS methods as an interim measure till the time, continuous supply of safe water can be ensured for all.
WASH in Communities
One-third of the Indian population does not have access to clean drinking water, resulting in causing several waterborne diseases like cholera, typhoid,hepatitis-A, dysentery and diarrhoea. The solution to this lies in making people aware about the quality of water consumed by them and treatment methods that can be adopted to improve the water quality.
Access to water is a basic human right needed to sustain life and health.
In India, despite increase in the access to drinking water have improved from 1900 to 2010 , water quality remains a major issue. Governments focus on access to water, while quality of water supplied not being much of a concern. This lack of concern over quality of water supplied results in increased health and economic burden. According to World Bank estimates, 21% of communicable diseases in India are related to unsafe water , with around 37.7 million Indians being affected by waterborne diseases annually. It is estimated that around 1.5 million children die due to diarrhoea alone. Estimated 73 million working days are lost due to waterborne disease each year, resulting in an estimated economic burden of $600 million a year.
International NGO work is crucial in campaigns that mobilize citizens at the community and national levels. Currently, NGOs are critical contributors in global efforts to achieve the UNs Millennium Development Goals.

Monitoring and evaluation/assessment activities both in relation to the network itself or the co-funded projects
Example JPND Monitoring and Evaluation
JPND has established a monitoring and evaluation framework to develop indicators of success for JPND and to monitor the merits of the new Joint Programming approach to performing neurodegenerative disease research on the European level. The framework, fully integrated as an element of JPND, was created as a deliverable of the JUMPAHEAD action. It includes a set of performance indicators and a questionnaire for participating countries to investigate attitudes and opinions towards the JPND initiative.
The ERA-LEARN case study on "JPND" is available here.
Example M-ERA-Net Assessment Report
M-ERA.NET has an excellent database, with a lot of well selected data compiled from call operation, proposal evaluation, and from beneficiaries during the lifetime of M-ERA.NET. In addition, data is used in this report which was compiled during the operation of M-ERA.NET predecessors MATERA and MNT-ERA.NET, or displayed in their final assessment reports.1 Furthermore, a SWOT workshop and two web surveys – directed at M-ERA.NET work members and at beneficiaries and proposers – were performed to complete the data base for this assessment.
Example FACCE JPI's Monitoring and Evaluation Framework
FACCE JPI's monitoring and evaluation framework identifies three overall targets: 1) To improve the alignment of national and European research programmes; 2) To increase high quality transnational research activities within food security, agriculture and climate change; 3) To improve the societal impact on the challenge of food security, agriculture and climate change. Monitoring needs to be specifically tailored to the respective joint action or project and provides an integral source of information for the evaluation process. The FACCE JPI evaluation will focus on the organisation, process and outcomes of target 1, which requires a continuous effort and forms the organisational basis of the JPI and will focus on outcomes of targets 2 and 3, which are iterative processes, at a later stage.
The ERA-LEARN case study on "FACCE-JPI" is available here.

An update from Dance Professor Shelley Berg:
The SMU London Arts students, as part of their investigation of all things "performative" in the city of London, spent an indulgent morning exploring Borough Market in the Southwark area of South London. There has been a market in this area since 1014 and, by the 13th century, grain, vegetable, fish and livestock traders relocated to what is now the Borough Market site. There are currently over 100 traders, who ply their wares there, both local and international. The high standards of the Market are ensured by an impartial panel of food experts that "ensure that the taste, provenance and quality of foods sold are all regularly measured and maintained and support small traders to meet these standards."
The students trolled the stalls, sampled the extensive foodstuffs and gathered fresh ingredients – both familiar and unfamiliar – for family dinners at their flats. They found sumptuous displays of mushrooms and truffles, steaming pans of paella, silky goat cheese ice cream (raspberry and chili was only one of the flavors), and fresh bread baked in flower pots. Take a look at their terrific photos of their experience.

Presentation to the CRTC on the licence renewals for the CBC's French and English-language services
Nov 23, 2012
Text of Presentation:
Mr. Chair and Commissioners, my name is Ian Morrison, and I speak for Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, an independent watchdog for Canadian programming on the air and online. Friends is not affiliated with any broadcaster or political party – and we are supported by 175,000 Canadian families. People like these…
These comments come from eight town hall consultations across the country in recent months called The CBC We Want. Although the participants are big supporters of public broadcasting, like all friends, they believe they have the right and the responsibility to offer constructive criticism.
Je veux souligner que lorsque nous critiquons la Société, nous ne visons pas les artisans talentueux qui créent la programmation, mais plutôt des politiques et des pratiques spécifiques de sa haute direction.
(I want to stress that when we criticize the CBC, it is not the talented people who actually make programs that is our target, but rather specific policies and practices of its senior management.)
The CBC we want is properly funded to do its job. In poll after poll, a significant majority of Canadians say they support maintaining or increasing public funding for CBC.
We recognize that your Commission has no power to establish the CBC's parliamentary allocation. But we do urge you to send a strong message in your decision that the current level of funding is insufficient to discharge CBC's statutory mandate.
Only four of 26 Western democracies spend a lower proportion of GDP than Canada on public broadcasting: Portugal, Poland, New Zealand and the United States of America.
CBC has been singled out for disproportionate damage by the government. From 2006 to 2015, total program spending will have increased by 15%, while spending on CBC will have declined by 22% – that's a 37% gap, based on Budget and Treasury Board data.
CBC's response to this financial crisis has been to replace declining public funding with more commercial revenue. This is a bad business strategy and also bad public policy:
- It has not prevented deep cuts to CBC programs, services and staff.
- It has not resulted in increased audiences or profit.
- It has alienated core supporters.
- And it has skewed programming and scheduling decisions.
This is why Friends is profoundly opposed to the CBC's request for permission to bring ads back to some of its English and French radio services.
This is also why we recommend that the Commission look closely at alternative funding models for a less commercial CBC English Television – especially if next year the CBC were to lose the Hockey Night In Canada franchise that we estimate represents more than half of all of the English Television Network's ad revenue.
And this is why our written submission proposes a number of specific licence conditions or expectations: commitments regarding the type of program content we believe is essential for a public broadcaster, such as documentaries, arts and culture, children's shows, and regional reflection.
Like you, we wish it were not necessary to impose this kind of detailed regulatory monitoring and oversight. We understand the value of flexibility. However, we simply cannot support CBC when it asks you to "trust it" to do the right thing. Recent past experience shows such trust would be misplaced.
Since the previous licence renewal thirteen years ago, the CBC has walked away from numerous commitments, and now wants to be let off the hook for many more. This must not be allowed to happen.
CBC says many of these decisions are financially motivated. They simply cannot afford to do these things any more. We disagree. We think it is a matter of choices. Does the CBC want to be a public service broadcaster –
or a commercial broadcaster that loses a billion dollars a year?
Unfortunately, the CBC has answered that question in its response to interventions, where it says – more than once – that it wants to be treated "like any other broadcaster". They've tried to backpedal on that this week, but their words speak for themselves.
Well, Mr. Chair and Commissioners – the CBC is not any other broadcaster.
The CBC is Canada's national public broadcaster, with pride of place in the Broadcasting Act. It should act – and it must be treated – accordingly.
In the ongoing absence of a transparent, arm's-length, professional system for appointing the Corporation's Chair, Directors and CEO – an absence which Friends deplores – we are forced to look elsewhere for an appropriate governance model.
Friends would like the Commission to create a distinct regulatory regime specifically for the CBC. Failing that, we invite you to examine and recommend a system along the lines of the BBC Trust, which – while not without its flaws – does provide an independent means to ensure that key strategic decisions of the public broadcaster are scrutinized to determine whether or not they make a positive contribution to public value.
Under such a system, the CBC would not have been allowed to – for instance – unilaterally abandon the program format of Radio Two without an opportunity for public input.
Without such safeguards, we respectfully submit that proceedings like this are far less meaningful than they should be. The CBC is called on the carpet once every decade or more, and in between, apparently gets to do pretty much whatever it likes.
The CBC boasts about its many forms of public accountability. However, there is an important difference between simple reporting and real accountability. Friends submits that when it comes to actually listening to what Canadians want – and acting on that input – the CBC's performance leaves a lot to be desired.
The unfortunate result is that many of its strongest supporters are losing patience with the CBC. That would be a tragedy, as it would capitulate to those forces that are opposed to a robust and independent public broadcaster.
We need to turn this downward spiral around, by increasing the real and perceived value of the CBC to Canadians.
Commissioners: the idea of public broadcasting is too important to abandon. We need to help CBC learn how to earn and deserve renewed public support – and then mobilize that support to advocate for resources to do its job.
I would be pleased to answer any questions. But first, I'd like to give the rest of Friends' ten minutes to a few more comments from some of our – and the CBC's – friends…

Dr. Allen's therapeutic devices are designed exclusively for pain relief and the treatment of chronic problems. It treats osteoarthritis in the spine, inflammation of the Sciatic nerve and chronic pelvic pain syndrome naturally.
London, UK (PRWEB) February 11, 2013
The absence of effective chronic pain relief methods leads to a continuous search of a new treatment option – ranging from massage to cannabis, while Dr. Allen's therapeutic devices are effective in pain alleviation as well as in treating fundamental conditions by improving blood circulation in the affected area locally, Fine Treatment reveals.
Dr. Simon Thomson, consultant in pain medicine at Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, says: "For many patients, conventional medication or surgery is not the answer and we need to be exploring how best to use innovative and cost-effective technologies as they emerge," says a new article of 31 January 2013 on 'Boston Scientific study shows failings in chronic pain management'.
According to the American-news-report 'Israeli Study Finds Patients with Chronic Disease Benefit from Marijuana', by M. Anson, January 30, 2013, a new study out of Israel led by Zach Klein from Tel Aviv University tested medical marijuana on 19 nursing home residents. Patients were treated with cannabis in the form of powder, oil, vapor, or smoke three times daily over the course of a year. Seventeen of the 19 patients regained lost weight, and symptoms of pain, stiffness, tremors, insomnia, and PTSD decreased drastically. Their moods and communication skills also improved, and they had fewer nightmares and flashbacks, according to Klein.
The article on "Healing Hands" in Hernado Today, of 31 January 2013, reviews several research studies funded by the National Institutes of Health. For instance, in 2008, massage therapy was found to be of significant help in pain relief for cancer patients; in 2010 it was shown to be of benefit for those with chronic neck and back pain, and pain due to osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia; in 2011 - 2012 researchers found that patients with lower back pain and osteoarthritis who received a 60-minute Swedish massage therapy once a week suffered less pain with the reduction in stiffness.
It can be thus seen people all around the world look for an alternative solution for chronic conditions and pain, and Dr. Allen's Devices are the able to help people with pain relief by improving blood circulation in the affected areas locally. Moreover, the improved blood flow at the capillary level treats the damaged area in the spine, pelvic area or lower back. Please watch the video on how easy it is to use Dr. Allen's Device at home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WwI1TvlXOs.
"The Thermobalancing therapy is a unique method of treatment of affected organs locally. It helps to get rid of chronic pain and internal diseases naturally," says Dr. Allen. "Dr. Allen's therapeutic devices are designed exclusively for pain relief and the treatment of chronic problems. It treats osteoarthritis in the spine, inflammation of the Sciatic nerve and chronic pelvic pain syndrome naturally."

Builder Don Peterson has a strange way of showing his neighbors how much he loves his house.
He has dropped a Mack truck on it. He has set it on fire. And he has dared termites to eat it.
Builder Don Peterson has a strange way of showing his neighbors how much he loves his house.
He has dropped a Mack truck on it. He has set it on fire. And he has dared termites to eat it.
But the house that Don built from plastic is still standing.
Peterson built the house last year from polystyrene, the same kind of plastic foam used to make Styrofoam coffee cups. The walls, the floors, the foundation all are made of plastic.
But Peterson`s plastic house can`t be crushed like a coffee cup, because he coated it with a specially formulated stucco he calls Insulcrete. Peterson coated a styrofoam coffee cup with the stucco and let his friends take turns standing on it to prove how strong the combination is.
Plastic houses are quieter and more energy efficient than traditional homes, Peterson said. ``We built 1,700-square-foot houses last summer in Texas where the air-conditioning bill came to $15 the whole summer.`` Peterson said he spent $90 dollars on wood to heat his 10-room house last winter.
``We used a cord and a half of wood to heat the house for the whole season--and we weren`t running around in long underwear, either. The temperature never dropped below 70,`` he said.
``If they`d been building houses like this for the last 200 years, and someone today suggested building a house out of wooden 2-by-4s, he`d be laughed out of the country. He wouldn`t be allowed to do it.``
Why plastic? Well, when Benjamin Braddock is advised to think
``plastics`` at his party in ``The Graduate,`` a lot of baby boomers like Don did. About 44 billion pounds of plastic was produced last year.
Engineer Matthew Holtzberg looked at a race car and thought plastics. He built the first plastic engine and installed it in the Polimotor Lola. The new Lola weighs almost 40 percent less with its plastic parts, and less weight should mean more speed and better gas mileage. But it still has to be tested at the Indy 500.
Businessman Jess Heald thought plastics, too. And he thought about baseball, and about the way aluminum bats just don`t make a cracking sound like wood bats. They ping. He had a team of researchers come up with an all-plastic bat that is as light as aluminum and makes a cracking sound like wood. More than 50,000 people were thinking plastic last week at the National Plastic Exposition at McCormick Place. Model houses, race cars and baseball bats were three of 735 plastic creations on display.
Most of this year`s exotic exhibits will be commonplace at the next show in three years, exhibitors said. For example, Peterson has built almost 30 houses in 7 states, including Wisconsin. The Lola already has competed in several races with the plastic engine, and Holtzberg believes the plastic engine may be used in passenger cars as early as 1990.
The National Plastics Exposition is the largest show of its kind in the country and the second largest in the world. It attracts exhibitors and visitors from as far away as Japan, all of them in pursuit of the ultimate plastic.
Plastic experts give several reasons for the explosion of plastic products in the last five years. They say plastic is lighter than metal, more permanent than wood. It is easier to produce than metal, so it`s less expensive. Plastic doesn`t rust and it can be manufactured in any color.
Of course, plastic has drawbacks. Because it is so durable, plastic is next to impossible to dispose of. Unlike paper, which will eventually rot if discarded, plastic litter will stay litter until someone picks it up. Even then, some plastics don`t burn easily. As the supply of plastic products increases, so does the amount of plastic litter covering the countryside.
Another drawback is plastic production requires large quantities of petrochemicals like oil, natural gas and coal--expensive resources in short supply.
But plastic manufacturers at the convention said benefits from plastics outweigh the problems. They said research into biodegradable or
photodegradable plastic that will dissolve when exposed to sunlight over time may solve the problem of litter, and added that they are looking for alternatives like wood to replace petrochemicals in plastics production.
Do plastic baseball bats and cars and houses sound a little odd? A little too futuristic? Consider two other not-so-distant possibilities: ice skating rinks with plastic instead of ice and plastic helicopters.
The plastic people will leave no stone (or plastic paperweight) unturned in their search for new products to make from plastic.
``The American people are really hesitant to try anything new, but at the same time they`re looking for convenience, they`re looking for quality products and they`re looking for savings. And the trend is toward plastic,``
said J. E. Swazo, a technical manager for Dow Chemical Co.

Local infocomm companies (iLEs) can look forward to more
assistance in expanding overseas under a new programme
announced by Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community
Development, Youth and Sports, and Second Minister for
Information, Communications and the Arts at the SiTF 2007
ICT Business Outlook Forum. The Infocomm Enterprise Programme,
or iEP, aims to develop the capabilities of iLEs in the
implementation and delivery of large-scale, sector-wide
projects and to create new intellectual property (IP).
As iLEs build up their capabilities in the implementation
of large-scale projects, this will in turn enhance their
credentials and export potential. The programme will also
accelerate the development of sector-wide transformational
projects to increase infocomm adoption amongst user organisations
in the sector. The BackPack.Net project in the education
sector and the integrated clinic management system in
the primary healthcare sector are examples of these sector-wide
This programme is managed by the Infocomm Development
Authority of Singapore (IDA) and it will help co-fund
approved projects and in the facilitation and marketing
assistance to overseas markets.
Dr Balakrishnan also launched "Infocomm Singapore",
a unified brand for "Made-by-Singapore" infocomm
products and solutions along with the Infocomm Singapore
Portal. This branding initiative is a joint effort between
the government and the infocomm industry to fight for
mindshare in the highly competitive global market. The
brand hopes to elevate the perceived value and generate
stronger recognition of the quality and uniqueness of
Singapore's infocomm products and services both locally
and overseas.
A brand management committee comprising industry leaders
will oversee the management of Infocomm Singapore. To
help iLEs build up their own brand, a series of branding
seminars and workshops for iLEs has also been planned.
To create a strong market presence, iLEs can profile
and promote their products and services at the portal
(www.infocommsingapore.sg/industry) which is a virtual
storefront. The portal has a one-stop directory listing
and capability maps of iLEs. Besides a listing of success
stories of local infocomm products and services, a match-making
engine for companies to source for partnerships and business
opportunities will be introduced.
These programmes are in support of the strategies under
the Intelligent Nation 2015 or iN2015 masterplan to realise
the long-term vision for Singapore's infocomm industry.
These programmes will help to achieve the goal of a three-fold
increase in infocomm export revenue to $60 billion.
Mr Chan Yeng Kit, Chief Executive Officer of IDA said,
"For Singapore to remain competitive we need to establish
an internationally recognised brand for our innovative
infocomm solutions. IDA continues to work closely with
the industry to nurture iLEs with export potential and
create opportunities for the creation of new IPs."
Mr Stephen Lim, Co-Chair of Infocomm Singapore Brand
Management Committee said, "It is our vision to be
the world's most trusted, intelligent and results-oriented
solutions partner with the power to transform how people
live, work and play. This vision will serve as a beacon
for our infocomm companies and guide them in positioning
themselves overseas."

For those who have taken NCLEX RN
My exam shut off at 75 questions and I thought the exam was fairly easy 😩 I only got 10-15 SATA and a TON of prioritization. I am so worried and anxious, can someone whose taken NCLEX who passed or failed please give me some straight talk.
About Cecegirl1030
Joined: Nov '16; Posts: 27; Likes: 14Jan 11, '17Anxiety is normal. The test will end after it has determined you meet the minimum competency level. If you feel like it was easy, then you probably did well. Take some deep breaths, relax, go do something fun, and you'll find out your results in a day or two.Jan 11, '17Straight Talk? Ok. You got the minimum number of questions which means you either did a terrific job and passed easily or you did an awful job and failed easily. Type and format of questions doesn't matter. If you can buy the Quick Results do that and it'll help ease your worries. that's as Straight as I get lol.Jan 11, '17Here is a thread from awhile ago
Quote from Guy in BabylandThe NCLEX test is a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). Unlike nursing school tests in which you are expected to answer every question correctly, CAT tests try to get you to answer questions wrong to determine your level of knowledge and competency. It is possible to answer half the questions wrong and still pass at 75 questions. Question 1 is a passing level question. It will give you tougher or easier questions depending on if you answered the previous question right/wrong. It is looking for a narrow band of "level of difficulty" above the passing level, what NCLEX calls a "saw tooth pattern". After question 75, it determines 1 of 3 things:
1) With 95% Level of Confidence you are minimally competent to be a nurse PASS
2) With 95% Level of Confidence you will not be minimally competent regardless of the number of questions. FAIL
3) Can not determine your level of competence and continues to give you questions.
If the test stops at 75 questions there are only two possibilities: You did very well and passed or you did very poorly and not worthy of more questions and you failed. To determine if you passed or failed answer the following questions:
1) Did I do very well in Nursing School?
2) Did I go to a school with a high NCLEX pass rate (above 85%)?
3) Did I study extensively for the test?
4) Did I go into the test on pain killers or drunk?
5) Was my anxiety level so high that I didn't know my own name?
6) Did I have a traumatic event immediately prior to the test?
If you answered "yes" to the first 3 questions and "no" to the last 3 questions, then there is a 99.9% probability (my opinion, not an actual stat) that you passed otherwise it would have given you more questions.Jan 11, '17My computer shut off at 77 questions. I thought very similar to you actually! Listen to extra pickles who kindly talked me down yesterday! I found out this.morning I passed!Jan 11, '17What was your uworld score?Quote from Cecegirl1030My exam shut off at 75 questions and I thought the exam was fairly easy ������ I only got 10-15 SATA and a TON of prioritization. I am so worried and anxious, can someone whose taken NCLEX who passed or failed please give me some straight talk.Jan 11, '17Not all that great :/ 70% on the predictor which gave me a 95% predictability of passing NCLEX but on the practice Qbank my overall average was 61%

Bound states in dark matter phenomenology
24.03.2017 11:30 – 12:30
Dark matter with long-range interactions, mediated by a light or massless force carrier, appears in a variety of theories with different motivation. Examples include the self- interacting dark matter scenario, which is motivated by the observed galactic structure, as well as models constructed to explain observed astrophysical signals. Notably, even the Weak interactions of the Standard Model exhibit long-range behaviour if the interacting particles are heavier than a few TeV. An important implication of long-range interactions is the existence of bound states. I will describe some implications of the formation of dark-matter bound states in the early universe and inside haloes today, and put them in the context of the cosmology and phenomenology of a dark U(1) sector.

We're already a term into our school year and there are some changes a-happenin' over here in our homeschool. I'm a little nervous and a little excited. But more on that another day! Today I want to share with you the easy way I am currently teaching language arts in our homeschool.
What is language arts? Well, you and I probably just called this English when we went to school.
Basically, the term language arts is a catch-all that encompasses everything from phonics and handwriting, to comprehension and composition. Vocabulary, spelling, grammar, punctuation- they're all in there too. Anything that relates to the five strands of English Language Arts is included: reading, writing, speaking, listening and viewing.
PHEW! That's a lot to cover. But does that mean it's hard to do?
Well, yes and no. For us, if I put a lot of workbooks into our program, things become hard. If I put a lot of writing into our program, things become really tough, really quickly. Maybe your child is different, but these two things are definite no-nos with my kiddo. But with a little help from my friends Charlotte Mason and Rudolf Steiner, I've managed to come up with a plan that is working really well for us.
Now for those of you who prefer to listen to me chat, you can find a video about our current language arts plan here. If you prefer to read, scroll on down 🙂
What We Do
For context, Nikolai is currently in third grade. We take a holistic approach to home education that you can read more about in this post. We tend to combine elements of both Charlotte Mason and Steiner/Waldorf methodologies, but we aren't averse to pulling elements from elsewhere if it's what best fits our needs at the time.
Morning Circle: I include poetry (memory work and recitation), introduction to Shakespeare and speaking work in the form of tongue twisters. FUN! Grammar and vocabulary related games come in here too 🙂
Reading: I assign a classic novel and expect Nikolai to read a chapter at night ready for narration the following day. This only needs to be done when we have lessons the next day, so only 3 days a week. That's pretty low key. We are working on a second classic novel together. This one we do as a read aloud once a week and then follow up with activities from a HearthMagic Unit Study. I get Nik to take a turn reading to practice reading aloud. He also reads aloud to his little sister, so we sneak some extra practice in that way. Free reading happens on top of this.
Narration: This is an idea popularised by Charlotte Mason homeschoolers. Basically, you have your child tell back what they have read (or have listened to) in as much detail as possible. We use this as a way to practice sequencing, recall, comprehension and the like. I also tend to include a conversation, always informal in our home, where we discuss what we liked (or didn't), why we think a character acted a certain way, what we would have done instead, etc. We practice this skill 3 times per week, using the reading Nikolai completed the evening before.
Composition: This term we are focusing on sentence structure, paragraph structure and summarising information. After Nikolai has delivered his narration (we do this orally) we sit together and I help him to pick out the main idea from the chapter. We look for the problem, the action and the solution which he boils down to 3-5 sentences, depending on the complexity of the chapter. Nikolai comes up with the sentences and I dictate them back to him slowly so that he can concentrate on the mechanics of writing without the distraction of trying to remember the words he wants to use. We have found this technique so helpful in reducing stress when writing.
Once the day's summary is written down, we flick back a page to the previous summary and go over it, looking for errors in spelling and punctuation, which Nik marks with a coloured pencil. Nikolai makes corrections and looks up any words he is unsure of in the dictionary. Why do this the next day? Putting that little bit of distance between the writing and the editing helps ward off feelings of inadequacy. Correcting straight after writing can feel overwhelming and demoralising to a small child (or let's face it, even certain adult bloggers who may be typing as we speak 😉 ). We also take the chance to engage in short spelling lessons where necessary. Once we come to the end of the book, we will watch a movie adaptation of the novel.
Once a week we also try to include a poetry picnic in our day. This is always a highlight.
What We Don't Do
So there you go. We've covered reading, writing, listening, viewing and speaking, all in roughly an hour a day, 3 days a week. And we have fun!
What don't we do? Workbooks, spelling lists, copywork, creative writing, oral presentations of projects or specific handwriting practice. If it's busywork or is sure to elicit strong resistance, I omit it. It just isn't worth the headache.
If you haven't already, take a look at the video above to see the books we are using, and to get a look at the work Nikolai is doing.
And now I would love to know, how do you teach language arts in your homeschool?
Is there something about our homeschool you are just dying to know? Feel free to ask in the comments section below xx

Coroner's inquests into killings by police would be scrapped under a bill that the district attorney and local police union are trying to push through the Legislature.
Assembly Bill 320 would gut Clark County's 40-year-old system that investigates deaths at the hands of police, a contentious process that recently was revamped to quell outrage about questionable inquest findings.
A key change, giving families appointed counsel at hearings, has irked many officers who say they will refuse to participate rather than be cross-examined. Also, the district attorney says the new system will be time consuming and costly.
After losing the battle to fend off reforms with the County Commission, the police union and district attorney are now fighting in Carson City to dissolve inquests before the first case is heard under the new rules.
If the bill passes, the district attorney would investigate the deadly incidents and determine whether to file criminal charges, which he has the power to do now.
Information from the investigations would be made public.
The bill has inflamed civil rights advocates who argue that it would scuttle a system essential for holding police accountable in taking a human life.
Proponents of the legislation contend that inquests have strayed too far from the original intent of finding facts and have become adversarial, making officers not want to take part.
Introduced by Assemblyman John Hambrick, R-Las Vegas, the bill is in an early stage, with an uncertain fate.
The first hearing on the bill was held by the Assembly Government Affairs Committee on Monday. It will resume Thursday to gather more testimony.
The bill must make it out of its first committee by Friday, or it will be declared dead for the session.
Scrapping the inquests would turn the clock back decades and waste the work of advisory panels who spent many hours hammering out ways to bolster the public's trust, said Maggie McLetchie, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada.
"I think it's inappropriate for the Legislature to circumvent the will of the people of Clark County," McLetchie said. "We haven't even had a chance to see how the new system works. All the important rights we fought for … would be gone."
County commissioners approved reforms in January, such as allowing families representation at inquests, disclosing investigative files before hearings and eliminating jury verdicts.
But the first case using the new guidelines won't be heard for at least a month.
That probably will be the case of Eduardo Lopez-Hernandez, who died last year after Nevada Highway Patrol officers stunned him with electronic devices.
A local police union leader insists he isn't reacting just to the latest inquest overhaul, but to cumulative changes over the years.
"We've always believed the inquest process was not necessary," said Chris Collins, head of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association. "We lived with it, tolerated it. There are remedies to get to what you want without inquests."
The district attorney can look into a police killing and determine whether the officer did anything wrong, Collins said.
If the family is dissatisfied with the outcome and wants to delve deeper, it can file a lawsuit, he said.
Collins said no other county in the state has inquests, and few places in the nation do. He argued that local police should not be treated differently here than anywhere else.
But Richard Boulware, a local NAACP vice president, said Collins was mistaken.
Most local governments in the country have independent boards, prosecutors or task forces that investigate police killings. They are just not called inquests, he said.
"The officers don't understand that the community wants them to be held accountable for taking the life of an individual," Boulware said, adding that "very, very disturbing incidents" spurred reforms.
Commissioners formed an advisory panel last year to suggest changes in the system after inquest juries found officers justified in two contentious cases: those of Trevon Cole and Erik Scott.
Cole, 21, a small-time marijuana dealer, was shot and killed by Las Vegas police while unarmed in his apartment.
Scott, 38, a medical device salesman and West Point graduate, was killed outside a Costco in Summerlin by officers who said he drew a gun.
Collins, McLetchie and Boulware were among those on the panel.
About five years ago, police fatally shot 17-year-old murder suspect Swuave Lopez in the back while he was handcuffed and fleeing. An inquest jury found the shooting justified, spurring an outcry that led to the first inquest review panel being formed in 2006.
District Attorney David Roger said he disagreed with how the inquest system has been reshaped. The new procedures will make inquests more time-consuming and more expensive, Roger said.
Supplying the requisite two attorneys for each hearing will cost more than $100,000 yearly, he estimated. "I just don't have the resources."
Commissioner Steve Sisolak initiated the most reforms and later opposed giving suspects' families representation at inquests. Sisolak said he understood why police officers would be disenchanted.
"I see their side to it," Sisolak said. "I wish there could've been a common ground reached."
But Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani said police should welcome more scrutiny to avoid the perception of secretive dealings behind closed doors.
"In this age of transparency, wouldn't they want to have more transparency?"
And if Roger wants to save money, he should quit pursuing so many death penalty cases, which has cost the county more than $20 million, she said.
Rory Reid, a former commissioner who voted for reforms, said it was unfortunate that the union "wants to do an end run around the process" just because it dislikes the changes that much of the public called for.
He doesn't think such a complex problem should be tossed to a busy Legislature to solve.
"We spent hours and hours on this," Reid said. "I don't see how the Legislature will have the time to devote to this, given all that's in front of them."

The 47-year-old, who had split with his girlfriend Vicky Fenner earlier that day contacted four women via text or Facebook to ask if they wanted to meet him for a drink.
On the second day of the trial at Mold Crown Court, jurors were told of the accused's movements on the day, "happy and smiling" five-year-old April was allegedly murdered.
After receiving a text message from Miss Fenner on the morning of October 1 confirming their relationship was over, Bridger told his boss he would not be in to work that day as he needed to "get his head together".
After making a trip into Machynlleth he returned home and logged on to his laptop computer.
The jury were told how he spent several hours viewing images of a 14-year-old local girl, who was the daughter of a friend of his.
He also contacted four women by text or Facebook asking them out on a date.
The jury were also shown further indecent images found on his computer, some of which featured cartoon images of children being raped.
Some of the search terms found on his computer included, "eight-year-old girl bra; eight-year-old school uniform; Michael Jackson's daughter naked."
The last known CCTV footage of April visiting a local swimming pool with her best friend was also shown to the jury.
Bridger denies April's abduction and murder and also carrying out acts intended to pervert the course of justice by disposing of her body.
The trial continues.

The U.S. Air Force was formally instituted as its own branch of the U.S. Armed Forces on Sept. 18, 1947. The military had been interested in aircraft long before this date, but the first permanent adoption of aircraft into the military took place on August 1, 1907 as the Aeronautical Division of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, undergoing name changes and expansions as aircraft became more important to war efforts.Continue Reading
Although hot air balloons were helpful to the Union in the Civil War, no enduring air unit was formed until after the Wright brothers developed aircraft capable of heavier-than-air flight in 1903. Eventually, the Aeronautical Division of the Signal Corps contracted with the Wright brothers for an airplane built to military specifications, which was delivered in 1909. Congress created an Aviation Section for the Signal Corps in 1914.
By the time the United States entered World War I, however, the embattled nations possessed far superior air technology. Aviation played a much larger role in World War I than anticipated, so the U.S. Army Air Corps was created as a larger division within the U.S. Army.
After World War II broke out in Europe, the United States upgraded the Army Air Corps to the Army Air Forces, which was equal in terms of personnel and importance. The achievements of the numerous squadrons and divisions of the Army Air Forces during the war led to the creation of a permanent military branch dedicated to U.S. air superiority, which would see much use in the years that followed as the Cold War began ramping up.Learn more about Military

So by now you must be thinking to yourselves, what makes you different from the rest of the fashion bloggers out there? Well I was thinking to myself, not that long ago, that although there are many wonderful fashionista's out there sharing their amazing talents of styling and creative ideas of fashions and accessories. Whilst also sharing our most recent fashion obsessions off the cat walk, I would also like to shed some light on what to expect from a life at uni, and not just in term of fashion either.
Let's face it, there are not many instruction manuals out there that really prepare or even give us a hint as to what to expect at uni. I know from experience in my first year, it is most definitely not a walk in the park, fashion and non fashion wise. I'm hopefully going to share with you some Do's and Don't 's at uni and also share some of my recent obsessions from the cat run. But another thing I should let you know, this has no size 8 skinny legs here. Its a bit hard at size 18/20 to get my fat arse to fit into some designer and look amazing. So I do the best with what I have, to still look pretty damn good in the mirror, without being a size 8.
I'm not going to lie to you, it is a hell of a lot harder for us than the size twelves, whose biggest shopping concern is that the store may be out of their size ( ahh hello try going into a store with friends knowing they don't stock your size in the first place). However, having said that, DO NOT give up hope my curvy friends. Although I know from first hand experience it may be difficult, but NOT impossible. Learn to accentuate your good points and hide the bad points, and you'll be surprised at how amazing you will look, when you see yourself in the dressing room mirror.
So thank you to the bloggers who have inspired me, to start my own! Thanks to "YFF, Fashion Hayley and Messy Carla," you guys have all amazing talent and inspire me all the time!!
This blog is dedicated to those girls like me; the ones who are so in love with an industry that is, well, so not in love with us.
Oh, and just in case you had not realised, this is me, "Christinnee, your Curvy Chic Blogger!" Peace, Love and Pixie Dust xx

An antibiotic-resistant 'superbug' is in the U.S., but don't panic yet
While most of us were out enjoying the first days of summer over the holiday weekend, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control was monitoring a potentially dangerous "superbug" that could eventually render antibiotics useless against disease.
According to a report filed by the U.S. Department of Defense, a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman was found to have a strain of the E. coli infection that resists the effects of all antibiotics, including Colistin, an antibiotic used when no others work.
More: Migraine pain is no joke, especially for a work-at-home mom
The woman was treated and released, but experts still don't know where she contracted the infection. This particular "superbug" has been identified in Europe, China and Canada in the past, but the woman hadn't traveled outside the United States in the past several months. The same strain was found in a single sample taken from a pig intestine, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture is currently doing more testing to find out where it came from.
Medical experts are worried that the resistant bacteria could latch on to other bacteria and mutate into something that can't be tamed with antibiotics like Colistin, resulting in widespread disease and death. That said, the CDC said in the report that while it's cause for concern, it's not catastrophic right now.

"It basically shows us that the end of the road isn't very far away for antibiotics — that we may be in a situation where we have patients in our intensive care units, or patients getting urinary-tract infections for which we do not have antibiotics," CDC director Tom Frieden said last week, according to CNN.
"I've been there for TB patients. I've cared for patients for whom there are no drugs left. It is a feeling of such horror and helplessness," Frieden added. "This is not where we need to be."
