Can we trick people into feeling scared? Scientists implant FALSE memories into the brains of mice
- Researchers created memories in mice using light pulses on the brain cells that control recall
- The memories were created while the mice were in a box considered to be a 'safe place'
- They then recalled these memories in a second box while giving the mice electric shocks
- When the mice were returned to the 'safe' box they confused the original memories with those recalled during shocks and became scared
It is the stuff that Hollywood thrillers are made of: Planting an idea in someone's mind.
In experiments that have turned science fiction into reality, researchers have succeeded in implanting a false memory.
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S. have shown it can be done in real life – at least in mice.
In experiments that have turned science fiction into reality, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have succeeded in implanting false memories into the brain of mice. By programming the brain cells that control recall, the researchers were able to successfully alter what the mice remembered
Scientists have discovered that not only can the planarian worm regrow its head if its cut off, the regenerated brain contains the same memories that were stored in the decapitated one.
Researchers from Tufts University in Boston tested the memory of the planarian worms by measuring how long it took them to reach food in a lab environment.
The small yellow worms had been trained to ignore the bright lights in the lab so they could find their meals without being distracted and the scientists found that even after decapitation worms remembered this training.
The work echoes the plot of the 2010 film Inception, in which a 'neurological spy' played by Leonardo DiCaprio is hired to plant an idea in someone's mind.
In fact, the process of creating a false memory is known as inception.
Researchers began by putting the animals in a box in which they felt safe.
They then zeroed in on the brain cells that were storing the animals' memory of where they were and programmed the cells to 'turn on the memory' in light.
The next day, they put the mice in a second box and used pulses of light to reactivate the memory of the day before.
While this memory was being replayed, they gave the animals mild electric shocks.It was hoped this would alter the memory.
And it did. When the animals were put back in the first box, they froze in fear.
This is despite them having felt safe and not being given any electric shocks there.
This, say the scientists, means their memory of the first box was successfully altered to associate it with the pain of an electric shock. In other words, a false memory had been implanted.
The researchers said: 'In this study, we believe we have for the first time succeeded in incepting, or implanting a false memory, in the mouse brain.'
Their experiments also showed that false and real memory trigger many of the same brain regions, making them very difficult to tell apart.
The concept of implanting memories into people's brains was the plot of the 2010 film Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio, pictured, as Cobb
Researchers began by putting the animals in a place in which they felt safe.They then zeroed in on the memory brain cells and programmed the cells to 'turn on the memory' using light pulses. The next day, they used these pulses to reactivate the memories, but this time gave the mice mild electric shocks. When the animals were put back in the first box, they froze in fear because their memory had been changed
Researcher Dr Xu Liu said: 'In a sense, to the animal, the false memory seems to have felt like a "real memory".'
They hope their work, detailed in the journal Science, will help shed light on how false memories form in the human brain.
This could be useful in courtrooms, where misleading memories from witnesses can lead to wrongful convictions.
The researchers said this is because as a highly imaginative species, we can easily insert false details into a memory as we replay it in our mind.
Steve Ramirez, the study's lead author, said: 'Memory is not a carbon copy but rather a

reconstruction of the world we've experienced.
'Our hope is that, by proposing a neural explanation for how false memories can be generated, down the line we can use this kind of knowledge to inform, say, a courtroom about just how unreliable things like eyewitness testimony can actually be.'
The experiment raises the tantalising - or chilling - possibility of deliberately and reliably tampering with people's recollections. But the scientists' aims are more modest.
They want to investigate whether can give mice pleasurable memories - including 'recollections' of food and other mice.
They said: 'These are the once seemingly sci-fi questions that can now be experimentally tackled in the lab.'
Ethicists said that the huge differences between mice and man mean it is unlikely the technique could be exploited to make someone believe they are someone else or to erase bad memories.
However, more subtle manipulation may be possible.
Iain Brassington, a Manchester University bioethicist, said: 'Imagine that someone wants to stop smoking, but is genuinely struggling.
'It might be possible to work out which bits of the brain light up when he's exposed to something unpleasant or scary, and then to activate them when he's having a cigarette.
'In this way, it might be possible to trick him - or his brain - into associating cigarettes with unpleasantness or fear.
'He might "remember" that smoking has always made him feel dreadful or uneasy - even though it didn't and even if he had no such memory only last week.
'And would make it more likely that he'd be able to resist the temptation henceforward.'

Kevin Blackwell has told Efe Sodje he must earn a return to the Bury team after getting suspended for tonight's League One derby at Oldham.
The 40-year-old centre-back became a father for the first time on Thursday and celebrated by scoring Saturday's FA Cup winner against Exeter.
But Bury had to survive the last half hour with 10 men after Sodje was sent off for two bookable offences. And his absence could be more than just his two-game ban.
"It was certainly an eventful week for him," said Bury boss Blackwell. "But someone else gets an opportunity to come in now. The players have got to create some competition. Sodje's got to work his way back into the team now – and that's what we want.
"It was the first clean sheet since the opening day of the season but there's a lot of work ahead so we're not kidding ourselves."
New dad Efe Sodje plays the role of hero and villain
Bury FC 1 Exeter 0: FA Cup match report
Bury go into the game second-bottom but Saturday's win means they've lost just one of their last five.
Blackwell added: "Throughout the season, we'll have some cold, wet nights here, and you've got to knuckle down and fight for it. If we can do that, it's another string to our bow."
Mark Hughes is set to replace Sodje in the Bury defence, while loanee Zac Thompson could return after his three-match ban. Fellow midfielder Mark Carrington (illness) may come back into contention.
Andy Bishop (foot) is still struggling but Tom Hopper should return up front. Leicester haven't granted the teenager permission to play in the FA Cup.

1.Why are farmers protesting despite bumper harvests? (Live Mint)
2.Practical matters (Down to Earth)
1.Why are farmers protesting despite bumper harvests? (Live Mint)
Synoptic line: It throws light on the problems ailing with farmers. (GS paper II)
- In a year when farm growth has crossed the 4% mark and official statistics show a record increase in production, one would have expected farmers to celebrate. Instead, farmers in states such as Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra are out on the streets protesting.
Why such a paradox?
- The answer might lie in several structural changes that India's farm economy and polity have witnessed over the past few years.
- Three key factors stand out: rising price risks faced by farmers, especially horticultural producers, lack of adequate policy support, and a sense of betrayal among the land-owning community which had pinned its hopes.
- In response to rising demand, the Indian farmer has now begun producing fruits and vegetables in much greater quantities than before, with horticultural output exceeding that of food grains for the fifth straight year.
- This change, however, has not been accompanied either by investments in warehousing facilities for perishables or by price support measures for fruits and vegetables, which could have minimized price risks that horticultural producers face today.
- Unlike wheat or rice, prices of items such as tomatoes or onions can crash sharply when there is a bumper crop. As the chart below shows, rising horticultural output has been accompanied by rising volatility.
- Moreover, for the average Indian farmer who has no insurance against such fluctuations, demonetisation might have actedas the proverbial last straw which broke her back.
- Even in case of food grains, where minimum support prices (MSPs) offer a floor price, the government has kept prices on a tight leash.
- In nominal terms, the MSP for rice rose at an annual rate of 4% between 2014-15 and 2016-17 after rising at an annual pace of 6.3% over the previous five years. The MSP for wheat rose at an annual pace of 5.1% between 2014-15 and 2017-18 after rising at an annual pace of 5.3% over the previous five years.
- To compound farm woes, export earnings have also collapsed, thanks to a turn in the global commodity cycle.
- The lack of supportive prices and the consequent slowdown in farm earnings seems to have upset the land-owning class the most.
- With bleak job prospects outside agriculture, and low returns from farming, the land-owning class appears to be getting restive.
Question: What type of interventions are needed to be conducted in the agriculture sector in order to make it more lucrative?
2.Practical matters (Down to Earth)
Synoptic line: It throws light on the India's increasing demand for power supply and harnessing renewable energy sourced power. (GS paper III)
- India's demand for electricity is seeing a steady rise. With an increasing number of villages being connected to the grid, this demand is only set to accelerate in the coming years. Currently, around 80 per cent of India's electricity supply comes from coal-based power. But the sector has been facing a difficult time over the past few years.
- Despite growth in renewables, coal-based power will continue to fulfill a large share of India's power needs. Instead of resisting the new environmental norms, power plants would do well to clean up their act.
- The energy needs of consumers in remote villages, where the grid has just reached, as well as in rich urban areas are not being met since power distribution companies (discoms) do not have money to buy sufficient power from generating companies. This resulted in millions have no electricity; an equally large number gets limited supply and practically everyone else suffers from periodic power cuts.
Main concern
- The plant load factor (PLF) or efficiency of power generation companies has steadily declined. Due to the inability of distressed discoms to buy power, power plants are not generating electricity as per their capacity.
- According to the Central Electricity Agency's (CEA) draft Electricity Policy, no additional coal-based capacity is required during 2017-22, if renewable energy capacity grows to 175 GW. If another 50 GW of coal-based power, which is currently under construction, is commissioned, the PLF of the sector will decline to 48 per cent by 2022.
- Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, do not provide stable supply. The draft electricity policy states that 63 per cent of electricity will be supplied by coal power plants until 2021-22. There is variability; renewable energy will supply only 20 per cent so the coal will remain the backbone of India's electricity supply for years to come.
- Despite these conditions, the idea that renewables may replace coal-based power to meet all of India's growing needs in the near future is wishful thinking.
Pollution matters
- According to World Health Organization's Global Urban Ambient Air Pollution Database, four of the 10 most polluted cities in the world are in India. With increasing power generation from coal, the pollution load will only increase, if left unchecked. Coal-based power comes at a heavy cost to the environment and human health. Of all emissions from the industrial sector in India, coal-based power plants account for 60 per cent of particulate matter (PM), 45 per cent of sulphur dioxide (SO2), 30 per cent of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and 80 per cent of mercury (Hg). The air quality of most Indian cities is appalling.
- The government has taken steps to ensure healthy air; government has announced new environmental norms with more stringent emission limits for coal-based power plants in 2015. These norms have already come into effect for upcoming power plants since January 2017. Existing power plants will have to comply with these norms from December 2017.
- But the power sector has raised a number of issues. The power industry complained that the cost of pollution control would be very high, which a country like India can ill afford, cheap electricity is required to lift the poor out of poverty and improve their quality of life. However, the poor bear the highest cost of pollution in terms of impact on health, access to water and livelihood.
- Major complaint by the industry is that the deadlines are too tight. Existing plants will need to comply from December 2017. This means that the existing plants got almost 30 months to install new equipment. Delhi-based non-profit Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) says compliance with the new norms is the most easily manageable factor of all concerns that plague the coal-based power sector.
- CSE research shows the plants could have easily fixed their PM and NOx problems and a sufficient number could have been close to flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) installation. For instance, equipment such as the low NOx burner typically requires a month for installation. An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) requires three to six months. Even the FGD, which requires the longest time of around two years, could have easily been installed by the deadline.
- The ultimate impact on the consumer will be a little higher because of discom losses. But the increase in consumer tariff is not likely to be more than 10 per cent. In comparison, nationwide tariffs have gone up by an average of 8 per cent per annum over the last 5 years. The tariff impact should be calculated based on the average investment of the entire coal-based power generation fleet, and not on the maximum investment that some plants need to make.
- The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) must clarify if the investments made for pollution control equipment and upgrades can be included in tariff calculations for plants that have power purchase agreements.
Learnings from China
- India can learn from China's implementation of tighter norms for its coal power sector. It established national norms in 2012, and gave new plants just five months to comply. Old plants were given three years. The rationale for such short deadlines was that stake-holders were already discussing pollution control by power plants and the plants knew that new norms were imminent.
- As pollution levels grew to alarming levels, China introduced even tighter norms for key critical regions with shorter timelines. In such cases, extending timelines is acceptable, but it should be subject to firm commitments and penalties. Based on China's timelines and feedback from equipment manufacturers, regulators should demand that ESP upgradation be finished in the next two years and FGD installation by 2020.
Way ahead
- India ranks among the world's most advanced emerging economies and with the growth of India's economy, demand for energy is also growing.
- There has been a quantum increase in the installed power production capacity in our country since independence from both non-renewable and renewable sources. Indian power sector needs to plug the gap between demand and supply through renewable and non-renewable sources as well as proper transmission and distribution channels.
- With the United Nations declaring 2014 to 2024 as the decade of sustainable energy, India has a chance to stamp out energy shortages via sustainable sources. Increasing capacity generation and overcoming transmission and distribution losses can go a long way in making India lead on the path of economic development and would also ensure a better life for the citizens of the country.
Question: What prospects does renewable energy and climate resilient energy solutions hold for India's achievement towards SDG?

When manipulating PDF content, you need to be efficient. This is especially true when transferring content from one PDF to another. There are times when you simply need to stitch content from two PDF files together. While your first instinct is to extract your information and then recreate another PDF file, it is not the best time saver.
In applications like MS Word, it is only a matter of simply copying and pasting content from one Word file into another. Yet dealing with the hard-to-edit PDF format calls for a much more sophisticated solution. It requires that you merge your PDF files.
In PDF Converter Elite 5 and Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro, you can easily combine two PDF files together into a single PDF document. You can use that function to merge two already existing PDF files or the specific pages of those files.

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) August 05, 2015
The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) announces additional support to bolster the efforts by The California Pool and Spa Association (CPSA), specifically in Southern California, as the industry continues efforts to educate local policymakers and regulators and the public about water use by pools and spas to ensure that proposed water restrictions do not adversely impact the pool and spa industry.
APSP has retained California-based national lobby firm Nossaman, LLP to work in close coordination with the CPSA and represent the industry's perspective before city councils, water districts and other local jurisdictions, as regulations are developed to address California's ongoing drought. For more than 70 years, Nossaman professionals have been working with water districts and companies across California to provide practical approaches to water policy.
"APSP is excited to partner with CPSA to support and expand their excellent drought education and outreach efforts," said Rich Gottwald, president and CEO of APSP. "California tends to set the tone for other states. We support responsible efforts to address the drought, and hope to send a message to other states as well that pools, spas and hot tubs are not water wasters."
"For the past 18 months, CPSA has been at the forefront, defending the swimming pool, hot tub and spa industry against unwarranted regulations and educating public officials on the fact that pools and spas don't waste water. With more than 700 water districts and 400 cities and counties with jurisdiction over water-use issues, CPSA has taken on this Herculean effort with the support of its members and contributors. There is still so much to do going into what is expected to be a long hot summer. As such, we very much appreciate the support of APSP to help get our message to policymakers, the media and consumers," said John Norwood, president of CPSA.
APSP will directly fund this additional regulatory work in Southern California. Gottwald also announced plans to use funding from the World of Recreational Water Foundation to increase its support of the ongoing public education campaign promoting water conservation and facts about water use in pools and spas through CPSA's Let's Pool Together campaign.
"By contributing to the World of Recreational Water Foundation, we can generate needed resources to support ongoing consumer education about the drought while also providing contributors (or members) with an opportunity for a tax deduction, which is very attractive for companies of all sizes," he added. "Beginning today, we will encourage the industry to contribute through the World of Recreational Water Foundation."
For more information about California drought relief efforts, contact CPSA. To make a tax deductible donation to the World of Recreational Water Foundation visit APSP.org/WRW or contact Lisa Grepps.

Austria announced it would step up controls along its southern borders, edging closer to Eastern countries in their defiance of Germany's push for a European solution to the migrant crisis. The measures will be implemented at 12 existing checkpoints along frontiers with Italy, Slovenia and Hungary to slow down the influx, Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner said. "There will be different structural measures from containers to further barriers," similar to the short mesh fence recently set up at Austria's main border crossing with Slovenia at Spielfeld, she added.

"But there's no Facebook in China!"
Tut tut tut. After one or two days in China one quickly becomes aware that one's Facebook wall and Whatsapp belong in the same place; social contacts depend on the platform that is WeChat.
WeChat is your social sphere, your gif bank and your literal bank; in many places in Shanghai, WeChat pay is used instead of credit cards, which frankly just slow things down.
After just three days of using it, however, it becomes clear that WeChat is much more than what the boom generation might confuse for the app you use to send inappropriate pics.
With countless start-ups trying to figure out how to reign in the money transfer market, WeChat has managed to monopolize that sphere in China. And with that it has added yet another function to the seemingly limitless capacity of the smartphone in China.
The West appears to have developed a hypochondriac's attitude towards the unabashed use of smartphones and screens, with some cautionary headlines advising against it, suggesting it makes one more anxious and less happy.
Others publications such as the perennially face-palming Daily Maily create headlines like "To have and to hold: We now spend more time looking at our phone than with our partner" suggesting a loss of human connection due to smartphones.
Meanwhile, China seems not to care, instead choosing to watch another episode on the metro from and to work, sometimes even while walking through the mazes of the Shanghai railway stations, or even down the streets.
This has reached such an extent that Chongqing has set up a "No Cell Phone" pedestrian lane, presumably to avoid time waste and holdups.
This is reflected in the fact that China has one of the highest phone turnover rates in the world; on average a phone is discarded after 8-12 months. According to Yahoo, Chinese millennials spend four hours a day on their phones; this bearing in mind their 6am-11pm school hours which barely ease up at university.
It is not surprising that the Chinese government then is keen on keeping a tight reign on exactly what goes on with these phones, as they announced this week that they will be making their own secure smartphones.
But hey, mobile ad spending in 2016 is, according to reports, to become the biggest digital ad market. Plus, people are now making comics specifically for mobile phones (what?!)
Whatever you might think of the effects of this kind of portable technology on our wellbeing, it's clear that companies are not stopping to consider this, as they target all kinds of social media outputs on our phones, and successfully reach customers in doing so.

3 Steps to Overcoming Life Scripts and Break Free Habits.
With age, the impulse to follow unconscious scripts from experience becomes stronger and deeper.
We each approach and view situations from different perspectives. While someone may see an opportunity to do something different, others may experience fear – it all comes down to the details we 'stick' with or focus on. This stickiness is what can stand in our own way. It's how a lot of us feel about our personal growth within fitness.
Life scripts are seemingly mindless actions that shape moods, relationships and daily decisions and we create these stories to help make sense of our big, crazy world. I'm telling you that you create you the stories in your head? Yes.
Perhaps you have stories or scripts that you have taken with you on your own life that still remain. Psychologists believe these are stories that our parents developed from a young age that led us to believe are factual. These are the most common hurdles I see as Health Coach.
Negative examples such as
"You don't have an ear for music" – You're not good enough
"You've never liked vegetables' – Things never change
"Stress is always something you've struggled with' – You're a non adaptive person
"Why are you crying? You're ok" – It's not ok to show emotions
Notice the narrative comes from a place of good intention at the time (parents trying to counter effect a negative into a positive) but unfortunately also leads to feelings of not being good enough or always doomed for failure. Our childhood certainly starts the initial shaping of the type of person we grow up to be however at any age or stage, we can change this.
When we repeat an action (or even hear it or say it), it becomes a habit or ingrained script. A process that happens in the background we aren't even aware of. If someone tells you that you're a drama queen, eventually your mind is going to start believing it as you subconsciously allow that story to take place within your thought pattern. It's after you really, and I mean REALLY think about how and why you actually do something, habits will continue to shape your daily lifestyle.
Over the next couple of days try catching yourself in the moment of what you're stories you're telling yourself. Notice them throughout the day. Perhaps you may begin to feel frustrated about something, jealous, angry, hurt, happy or sad. Feel this moment of reaction and what may begin to feel a little sticky.
Now, you may ask – What has this got to do with Health Coaching Mitch? Ah, I can see your point but when we begin to get caught up in reacting to emotions or following scripts our health style choices take a downward spiral. Emotional eating, making excuses for not showing up to a workout, allowing stress to take a strangle hold – all stem from unconscious life stories. Remaining in an unstable relationship affects our thought patterns of not being good enough let alone allows the time to look after ourselves through proper nourishment and care. I call it the ripple effect.
So, we all love a good fix, or at least strategies to help become mindful of times stories or scripts are ruling our life. Mine are pretty simple and something I practice myself.
3 Steps to Overcoming Life Scripts
- Feel the emotion and tell yourself it's ok and natural. Don't act out in any way but just observe what's coming up. Feel the empowerment that doing this brings. If you never acknowledge, you can never change a thing. Realise that thoughts do not define us and it does not mean it's a weakness. It can change if you want it to.
- Remain the observer in the situation – likened to a 3rd party watching from afar. See the story as not necessarily being true and only a belief that has been presented to you. Keep coming back to the present moment. Like any muscle or things we try to strengthen, it takes time and practice so don't beat yourself up if you keep getting drawn back to a strong emotion. Just start at the beginning.
- Allow the feeling to release and flow out of your hands and feet like a free-flowing tap. We need to acknowledge that issues may have originated from adolescent years but as an adult we have the choice to the parts of childhood we hold on to and what we need to let go of.
Each time this sequence is practiced you will find that it will become easier. Hopefully less caught up in what the trigger was and more aware of how you react. The most important thing is that you've recognized a pattern and stepped away from it. Better yet, write it down and think of an alternative action (positive self -soothing techniques) that you can repeat to form a new habit.
This can be confronting and take a lot of effort to develop but at the same time this is what allows us to step out of the shadow of us being us, and giving ourselves permission to let go of old beliefs that may be holding us back from success.

Legislative Engagement
RAI Services Company's public affairs department advocates for legislation that strengthens youth tobacco prevention laws across the United States. We believe that all states should have comprehensive laws covering youth tobacco prevention. For more on our engagement strategy, visit Stakeholder Engagement and Materiality.
Two key laws impacting youth tobacco access were passed in 2016. In January, the U.S. Congress passed the Child Nicotine Poisoning Prevention Act. The Act requires special packaging for liquid nicotine container that conform to child-resistant packaging standards. RAI Services Company actively supported this legislation and welcome its impact in the decline of nicotine exposure reported by the AAPCC. In August 2016, the federal Age of Purchase law was amended to include a national minimum purchase age of 18 for all vapor products. We welcome this change and continue to support age restrictions for not only purchase but also possession and use of all tobacco products.
Our current legislative priorities include:
- No purchase, possession or use of tobacco by youth: In addition to our education efforts through RDRN, RAI supports legislative and regulatory efforts to keep tobacco products out of the hands of youth. All states prohibit the sale of tobacco products to persons under at least age 18. RAI also supports laws that also criminalize possession and use of tobacco products by minors;
- Penalties for complicit adults: According to the CDC, minors may obtain tobacco products from social sources such as complicit adults, rather than retail outlets, 86 percent of the time. Many states have laws penalizing complicit adults, but they can and should go further. RAI advocates for legislation on par with, or more stringent than, states' Social Host laws for furnishing alcohol to minors;
- No tobacco possession on school grounds: RAI and its operating companies support the complete ban on the use and possession of tobacco and vapor products on school grounds, including by adults. We support legislation to keep tobacco products out of schools, such as the language adopted by Arizona, in which "tobacco products are prohibited on school grounds, inside school buildings, in school parking lots or playing fields, in school buses or vehicles, or at off-campus school sponsored events."

How to Have Homesteading Success
After 37 years of living an off-grid homesteading lifestyle, we share some of the insights and experiences we've learned so that you too, can successfully live a self-reliant life.
The "Indoor Outhouse" for the Off-Grid Homestead
An alternative to the outdoor outhouse and composting toilets is the urine diverting toilet setup. In this post, I discuss, how we avoid hoofing to an outhouse at -40F by having an indoor version of an outhouse.
The Outdoor Outhouse for the Off-Grid Homestead
I had a question from a fellow homesteader about outhouses. We used an outhouse for 20 years in Maine and I've used them in remote exploration camps too. In this post, I talk about the construction and proper use of the outdoor outhouse.

Microsoft announced today during a press conference held in San Fransisco that it has acquired the social VR application AltspaceVR, which had shut down suddenly back in July due to lack of funding.
After being shut down, the free social VR networking platform had told members that they were in talks with a third party (revealed to be Microsoft) in order to save the community.
Couldn't make it to VRDC Fall 2017? Catch up on Gamasutra's coverage of the show here!
"With the AltspaceVR team aboard we look forward to building the world's preeminent mixed reality community," says Alex Kipman, Microsoft's inventor of HoloLens. The application will still be able to work on rival VR platforms like the HTC Vive, Google Daydream, and Samsung Gear VR.
In regard to AltspaceVR's identity under the acquisition, a Microsoft spokesperson assured the community that "AltspaceVR will stay AltspaceVR. Microsoft is most interested in preserving the current community that uses AltspaceVR to connect and interact with new and old friends."

It has been a long time since my last blog post but I have been busy working in my studio and I will, in time, publish that work. However, for now I would like to share a little sunshine with you. It has been a long cold Spring here in Ireland and I was beginning to think Summer would never arrive but at last I have been able to get outside, feel the sun on my back, work in comfort and go home at the end of the day tired but contented. All four of the paintings featured here were done en plein air and if summer stays around a little longer I hope there will be more.

Ohio Joins the Pack Leading Smokers According to One Survey
A recent study conducted and released Thursday by the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index reported that just under 26 percent of Ohioans are smokers; matching the smoking rates of Missouri, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Only one state topped the 26 percent mark – Kentucky reflects that 29 percent of the state's population lights up.
What makes Ohio notable is that it is the only state with a comprehensive smoking ban, yet according to those surveyed reflects more than one-in-four adults lighting up. Officials at the Ohio Department of Health said the report's findings were no consistent with their own survey conducted and released in 2010 that noted 22.5 percent of the state's population currently smokes. "Ohio still is a tobacco-growing state and we also know that tobacco usage is largely tied, in many instances, to income and educational levels," said Mary-jean Siehl, chief of Ohio's tobacco youth prevention and cessation program.
The percentage of Ohioans who smoke remained unchanged since 2010; where other states saw a decline in the number of smokers. Eighteen states had a smoking rate of less than 20 percent. In 2010, only 8 states had smoking rates below 20 percent.
Zach Bikus, executive assistant with Gallup, said some of the contributing factors of Ohio's high portion of smokers is that the state ranks 21st in diagnoses of clinical depression, 12th in daily stress, 10th in obesity, 45th in exercise, and 45th in trusting work environments. Health officials said smoking is often linked to education and income, and it is common in Ohio's large Appalachian region.
Grass-root anti-smoking educational programs educate the population on the risks of smoking and discourage people from starting to smoke, but Ohio health officials stated that the smoking ban does help curb smoking. Unfortunately Ohio expects that the smoking rate will increase this year as the state has lost funding for some anti-tobacco programs.
Many states are facing budget cuts across the board again this year. Ohio has not escaped this fate, but continuing to educate about the dangers of smoking is a must to ensure more lives are not lost due to heart disease, lung disease, or cancer. As long as Ohio is fighting a budget crisis, it is likely to see the number of smokers continue to climb. It is time for some hard-fast budgeting decisions for the state. The cost of smoking to the state and taxpayers only continues to increase.

In hockey, just like in all other sports, there is only one winner at the end of a season. But that doesn't mean that just because your team didn't win the Cup that you don't end the season feeling good. It's all about expectations. If you are a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, chances are you aren't feeling bad about this past season – forget your record. Your team unloaded unwanted salaries, loaded up on draft picks, starting seeing your young guys make it to the big show, and you landed the #1 overall pick in the upcoming draft.
If you are a fan of the Washington Capitals, however, you probably feel pretty demoralized by your second-round exit from the playoffs. This was supposed to be the Caps' year. They had Ovechkin, a red hot goalie in Braden Holtby, and young offensive weapons. Unfortunately, they ran into the buzz saw that was the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Capitals and their fans were sent to the offseason disappointed (yet again).
It has been these expectations – expectations of greatness, of multiple championships, of a modern day hockey dynasty – that have hung around the necks of Penguins players and fans for years.
When Sid the Kid lifted the Cup in Detroit in 2009, everyone thought that this was just the first of many Stanley Cup appearances and victories for the Pittsburgh Penguins. In the years that followed the expectations were clear – anything short of winning the Cup would be considered a disappointment for the franchise.
And disappointment, rather than Cups followed. There were injuries – to Crosby, Malkin and Letang – and there were questions about Fleury's ability to win the big game. There were questionable trades made as the Pens front office tried to go "all in" every year. There was a lack of emphasis put on developing young players in the Pens system.
The Pens ownership got impatient, the Pens fan base got restless, and — frankly — it didn't look like many of the Pens players were having much fun.
As more distance was put between the present day and the Pens 2009 Cup, more and more people were asking whether or not the window was closing on the Pittsburgh Penguins. Maybe this wasn't a team of destiny, maybe Crosby wasn't Lemieux, maybe it was time to break up the Pens core of stars.
Suddenly, the crushing weight of expectations was lifted.
At the beginning of this year, few people in the hockey world thought that the Pittsburgh Penguins were a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. Heck, many believed the Pens wouldn't even make the playoffs.
In mid-December, expectations got even lower for these Penguins. Struggling to score and in 5th place in the Metropolitan division, the Pens fired second year head coach Mike Johnston and replaced them with their AHL affiliate's head coach – Mike Sullivan.
A funny thing happened when they lost the expectations — they started winning on the ice. Sullivan brought a fire to the Pens bench that had been missing for years and a commitment to playing younger, faster players (many of whom he had coached in the AHL). General Manager Jim Rutherford, to his credit, bought into the Sullivan approach and gave the coach the tools he needed to play his much faster style of game. Key additions such as Carl Hagelin and Trevor Daley during the season, as well as his additions of Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel in the offseason, helped to transform Pittsburgh from a offensively challenged team to a goal-scoring machine.
Over the last two months of the season, the Pens appeared to be the most complete team in all of hockey. Yet, the pundits (maybe having been burned from picking the Pens for so many years) were still not sold on them.
The Pens went into series against the Rangers, the Capitals, Lightning and the Sharks as the underdog — and they flourished in this new world of low expectations.
Last night, the Penguins finally became that team of destiny. Finally, Sidney Crosby got that second Stanley Cup win. Finally, the Pittsburgh Penguins not only met expectations — but exceeded them.
For the Pittsburgh Penguins and Sidney Crosby — it was destiny delayed, but not denied.

Mon Haripunchai sculpture was unique in style and has no images of Hindu deities unlike the art elsewhere in Thailand. This Buddhist art is in stone, terracotta, stucco and bronze. The facial features are distinctly styled and the mode of dress is Indian, (9th – 10th C Pala-Sena style of north eastern India).
- The facial features include curly hair, well proportioned bodies, prominent eyes, incised moustaches and neck wrinkles typically not Thai as we understand today's ethnic features of the locals. The art style was influence by Pala in India.
Where To Find Better Examples Of Mon Art & Architecture In Lan Na

This race describes itself as "America's Friendliest Marathon," and it's tough to find runners who disagree with the assessment, particularly with the race's junk food and wet-washcloth aid stations. The marathon (plus a half and an 8K) features a scenic course through historic Richmond neighborhoods and includes a great post-race party with hot pizza and cold beer.
Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Marathon
Nov. 15; Las Vegas
Join one of running's biggest parties of the year as the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon series takes its annual trip down the Vegas strip at night. The weekend features a three-day health and fitness expo, a 5K, marathon and half marathon. You can even elope Vegas-style at the "run-thru wedding." After the race, enjoy a concert from headliner Kid Rock.
Seattle Marathon and Half
Nov. 29; Seattle
In 1970, the Seattle Marathon began with 38 entrants. There's a bit more competition this year, as the annual event now draws 15,000 runners to the marathon and half marathon. The race features a scenic course with rolling hills that provide views of downtown Seattle and Lake Washington
Honolulu Marathon
Dec. 13; Honolulu, Hawaii
As if you needed an excuse to visit Hawaii, the Honolulu Marathon has grown into one of the world's biggest and most-respected races. More than 30,000 runners will toe the start line at 5 a.m. Arrive early for the Friday luau, which puts most carbo-load parties to shame.

Naomi Campbell's truly devine album from 1995 will send you into complete GGP meltdown. Her minor hit single was "Love and Tears" but my personal fave would have to be the album's namesake "Baby Woman." Take Naomi's advice: "don't call me babe, don't call me sister. I'm your baby woman; watch, don't touch I'm your Venus De Milo... i'm your funky bouquet with the flowers i grow... Honey made in heaven... lot's of sugar coated lovin'....Touche touche.... je'mapel naomi

I've seen the heels of shoes sprinkled with rocks like candy, but never before seen the bottoms. While maybe the actual foot of the shoe wouldn't be such a hot idea as it'd make it difficult to walk or dance in, but what if you decorated the upper part of the bottom of the shoe with rhinestones, under the arch? Whoa. Crazi and hot Ooooh la la…it sure would make for a hot photo shot when it comes time for your groom to take off your garter! Don't you just adore sparkly little things? Add a little sugar to your bouquet, while you're at it:

Keeping a company's blog fresh is hard. We should know. We add to ours regularly.
Each piece starts with an idea that must then be fleshed out by research, original thought, and clear storytelling. It's a lot to do and without a fulltime writer on staff or contracted with your organization, maintaining a healthy blog is a tall order to fill.
That's where an RSS feed can come in handy. Explore the option of integrating an RSS feed into your website and get all the SEO benefits of a fulltime blog, without getting weighed down by the fulltime focus.
how it can work for your company
RSS feeds or Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary feeds, allow web visitors to subscribe to automatic content updates from a website whose content they find valuable. When that site publishes a new blog, feature, or how-to article, the subscriber will know and will receive that content automatically, upon posting. Most view RSS feeds as content delivery vehicles intended strictly to serve the average, individual web visitor.
But did you know that your business can also use RSS feeds to source fresh, relevant web content?
Earlier this week, we discussed the importance of keeping keyword rich text content on your website. It's important, not only from a search engine optimization stand point, but also to make your website more attractive and helpful to users. Adding an RSS feed to your website is a simple way to sustain fresh content and keyword strength. If you decide to add an RSS feed to your site, start by:
- Carefully taking an inventory of your own company's products and services
- Investigating and analyzing what online content your web visitors are already searching for and what written online sources they already rely upon
- Deciding how many different feed topics you want on your site. Maybe you're a builder who wants to supply how-to tips, construction news, and trade information. That's three different topics, and you'll need three different RSS feeds to fill the order
- Selecting the websites or blogs from which you will draw your information. Make sure these sources regularly publish trustworthy information.
Once you've planned out your content strategy this far, you are ready to integrate the feeds technically into your company's website. However, be aware of the brand aesthetic already established online. Add RSS feeds to your company's website in a way that complements its existing overall web design or you could find yourself facing a complete online redesign.
fast food for thought
Really Simple Syndication is right. Adding an RSS feed to your business' site enhances SEO, but it also enhances your reputation as an online industry expert. Think of it: web visitors can go to your website and gain exposure to your content and whatever other blogger's content with which you opt to supply them. You're not the content's creator, but you ARE its distributor. Web surfers can rely upon your organization to bring content straight to them, eliminating frustrating hours of web surfing and bookmarking. RSS feeds will also help your internal company team by keeping keywords and timely information up, and time expenditures down.
If you're short on content and strapped for time, consider bringing on board one of the most hard working, yet effective and cost-effective, employees of all: the RSS feed.

Employment Insurance reporting calendar
This calendar will help you to accurately report the hours you worked and the earnings you received during each week of the reporting period. To obtain additional copies of this calendar, photocopy this document or print from the Service Canada website.
How to use the reporting calendar
- Record the number of full and partial hours (Hours) you worked and your earnings before deductions (Earns) for each day of the week, from Sunday to Saturday.
- Add and round your hours and earnings and enter the results in the "Total to report" row. Report only full hours in this box. For example, if you worked 38 hours and 15 minutes in a week, enter 38 hours. If you worked 38 hours and 45 minutes, enter 38 hours. When reporting your earnings for each calendar week (Sunday to Saturday), round to the nearest dollar. For example if your earnings were $125.49, enter $125. If your earnings were $125.50, enter $126.
- Record the due date of your next report in the "Date next report is due" row.
- To complete and submit your EI reports 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you can use the EI Internet Reporting Service by visiting the Service Canada website and clicking on Complete your EI report.
- If you are unable to use the internet, the EI Telephone Reporting Service is available by calling 1-800-531-7555.
You must submit your first EI report on or shortly after the due date. Do not submit your report before this due date. Access the instructions on when and how to complete your reports with our Internet Reporting Service or our Telephone Reporting Service. After you complete your first report, we will let you know the next due date on which you will have to submit another EI report. Mark this date on your calendar—you cannot file your next report before this date.
It is important to complete your reports no later than three weeks after each due date or your EI claim may be affected.

Colleague Doug Usher @ Widmeyer Communications, and guest blogger at Pollster.com, sees internet-based research eating the lunch of phone or mail-based research on many fronts, but not yet on public opinion polling. I don't think he's not a believer in the ability of the tool to capture the information cost effectively (maybe he is?), but Doug really sees it falling short in getting to the people who need to be guagued (e.g. those in a certain district). Digital marketeers might immediately jump to their favorite social network to think they can reach the respondents, but are you going to get the range of demographics you need in the geographies you want? I myself thought, "well Doug, you can just run a social ad and survey on Facebook which allows you to target the geography, age, etc." but when I just tried it for where I live it was clearly evident the 50+ age group was severely underrepresented, and don't they love to vote?
How can we make internet-based research more effective for public opinion polling?

A social phenomenon needs to be studied. It affects all of us. The awkward and confident jerks suffer from the same symptoms. I am speaking of the 'Awkward Bar Walk Away', which shall be referred to as AWBA from now on. The AWBA happens just about every night we go out to a crowded bar filled with clinking Miller Lite bottles and drunk folks pissing off their significant others. The flat-screens glow and we walk around in circles saying hello to friends and people whose names have slipped our minds. Fists are pumped. Cheeks are kissed and shots are downed. But we all suffer…we all do.
You see someone from high school and say hello, do the usual "How ya been, what the fuck are you doing these days? Can you believe this recession?" small talk bullshit. The conversation usually hits a peak within minutes. The glass ceiling is made of plexi-glass and you can't bust through anymore. There are no more questions. No more answers. Just the worst stale silence you could ever imagine. You both might even look away several times hoping to see some tragic event, which would entail you to run away from the conversation. You hope a friend slips and falls or perhaps you desire for someone to yell FIRE, but there is no escape. The bathroom…you ask. Sure it's a good excuse, but it's been done before, and how many times can you use that in one night and if the bathroom is far and has a line winding through the bar…is it really worth the effort? Bottom line, you can't tell everyone you don't want to talk to that you have to pee again.
How do we cure this? This AWBA that plagues us all? Some people just rudely say fuck it, and turn the other way without a goodbye. Some tough it out, and sweat through a 20 minute conversation of the same question being asked in 20 different ways. Some of us just avoid all contact, and park our asses at the bar and look nowhere but down at your drinks.
The worst port of the AWBA is the moment before you both part ways. You might even offer and handshake before saying goodbye, but it's never smooth.
"All right……um……it was good seeing you (head scratch as you stare at your feet). Good luck with work. (look away). Good seeing you….um….OK."
I suggest an unspoken head nod/wave. We should all be aware of the AWBA and how to avoid it. Just look at the person…no physical contact and nod or wave from afar. Stay tight with your group of friends and don't waver. Let the people you don't want to see come to you, but make sure you have your people around. Stand near your crew the whole night. It's an easy escape, and a reason to simply, turn your back, and walk the fuck away.
The title of this awful blog is of course a song lyric, and it is from the latest release from IRAN. A band composed of Aaron Aites, who according to most pretentious music websites, should be a familiar name in all indie rock households. Kyp Malone, of TV on the Radio, is also part of this outfit and the main reason I checked them out the first place. It was produced by Dave Sitek, who is on his way on becoming the next Brian Eno and its just beastly. I could call it atmospheric, cinematic, Beach Boys on lo-fi, hissy art-rock, but I would just sound like a dick. It's the album's ability make you think you are hearing something completely different without wandering to far away. While some songs start off like a breezy surf melody, it might change sonically, but the feeling of the songs is never lost. It could be the lyrics and sometimes howling by Malone and Aites, but I never felt alone. The lyrics aren't filled with imagery of slithering snakes and dancing lemurs. They are direct and poppy, kind of like the FIRST Weezer album. (Kind OF) When Aites screams about losing his confidence in one of the songs, I didn't want to tell him to shut the fuck up. I just wanted to tell him everything was going to be cool.
The lyrics are self-aware, without dimming their creativity. IRAN doesn't need to trick you with their approach. They simply come clean, well as some might say...a bit 'hissy.'
I have decided to leave you with a video and some pictures:
Amazing band, with lyrics that aren't so easily interpreted.

Feather Extensions in Hair: The New Trend in Hair Fashion
What was once a novelty sold at craft fairs, farmer's markets, and concerts quickly took off in 2010 to become the hottest fashion trend for the average working women and celebrities alike. The rise in popularity of feather extensions in hair is likely because they are an inexpensive and simple way to add some flair to your hair.
Types of Feather Extensions
You have several options for adding feather extensions in hair, both in the type of feather and how to attach the feathers. Most feather extensions are made of the male rooster's tail plum feathers, the same feathers used in fishing lures. The feathers can be natural or dyed any color. If you want something a little flashier, peacock hair extensions are also available.
For attaching the feathers, the quickest and least permanent method is the clip. You can find feathers attached to a fancy clip or neutral clip. The fashionable clips with feathers are designed to attach where all can see the clip and feathers. The neutral clips are meant to be attached under some hair, so only the feathers play peek-a-boo in your hair, but the clip itself is hidden.
For semi-permanent feather extensions, the feather is attached to a small section of hair as close to your roots as possible. This is done by threading the feathers and hair through a small bead size clip and then crimping the clip with pliers.
Care of Feather Extensions in Hair
For feathers attached to the hair, you care for them the same as your hair. They remain in the hair for up to two months before falling out. You can wash them and even style your hair and feathers with a blow dryer or curling iron as you normally would. However, you should know that heat and styling products used on the feather will damage the feather structure quicker. This could make the feather look frayed and broken long before it falls out. Also, be gentle when combing or brushing your hair with feather extensions in. Hard pulls can pull the feather out.
Where to Get Feather Extensions in Hair
You can get feather extension by buying them directly from a beauty supply store, at a salon, or at online feather extension specialty retailers. Feather hair extension prices will vary depending on where you purchase them and have them installed. If you feel comfortable attaching the feathers yourself, you can save some money buying them online. Packages of about 4 to 6 rooster feathers and 3 to 5 clips will cost about $20 to $25. If you buy from a salon and have a stylist install a single strand of feathers, it will cost you about $10 to $15.

The APC plan for Ghana : Our nation is in crisis – a crisis created by the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration and sustained by the poor policies of the Mahama Administration. Economic conditions are worsening by the day and there is so much suffering in the land. But Ghana doesn't have to be like this – Ghana deserves better.Follow @Graphicgh
When elected, the APC will be committed to a different kind of government, one that governs in the national interest, not for private gain.
As Presidential Candidate of the PNC in 2012 and APC in 2016,I have traveled across the length and breadth of this country and felt the pain and sacrifices made by ordinary Ghanaians everyday:
As I've travelled the country in the last many months and years, I've seen the pain and sacrifices made by ordinary Ghanaians everyday:
I feel for the farmer who struggles to feed his family and send his children to school – but doesn't know whether having made that sacrifice to pay the bills his children will even be able get a job at the end of their studies
NDC Manifesto : As my first term as the President of the Republic of Ghana comes to an end, I have come to appreciate even more the potential of Ghana to provide prosperity and security to all its citizens. The journey so far has been worth the effort. We have been confronted with challenges but have achieved major successes.
With the blessings of the Almighty God and the support of the people of Ghana, I am confident that my second and final term will move Ghana even closer towards the era of prosperity and security that I have envisioned.
I will continue to work, together with the people of Ghana, to create opportunities that will generate prosperity for all. This is what the Agenda for Transformation signifies.
This transformation entails moving away from over-reliance on commodity exports towards diversification and value addition. All these have begun. They will be sustained and accelerated in the next four years.

Economic conditions are worsening by the day and there is so much suffering in the land. But Ghana does not have to be like this. Ghana deserves the best! I have dedicated my life to public service to change Ghana for good.
