When Kristi over at And Babies Don't Keep tagged me in her "6 things about me" post last week, I was like "Ooh! A chance to talk about myself! And share all my deep dark secrets!" And then I realized that I don't have any deep dark secrets or anything exciting to share, really– at least not about myself (I'm assuming juicy gossip doesn't count?). But I've made a valiant effort.
So, on this lovely Friday morning, I bring you M.E. (and a ton of random instagram pics). Prepare to be thrilled…
Is this how you imagined your life would be?
Ha ha ha– no. I thought I would be waaay more famous by now. Also, the only people who can answer "yes" to this question are cowboys, ballerinas, and marine biologists– the rest of us are just disappointed that we never reached our childhood goals. Next question.
What's your drink of choice when out with girlfriends?
Like an old lady's arthritis or your dog's manic behavior, my choice in this area is largely influenced by the weather. Here's the breakdown:
Name something you've learned about yourself that has surprised you.
Apparently, I really stink at learning a second language. In college, I was so sure I would be good at it. I had fantasies of befriending the Mexican custodian in our dorm and chatting him up. Everyone would watch and be like "Wow! You are fluent in Spanish. How many years have you been taking it?" And I would smile in feigned modesty and say "This is actually just my first semester." Minds would be blown.
Instead I stunk at it. In a really horrible way. My accent was atrocious and my vocabulary slim. On Monday mornings, the professor would ask what we had done over the weekend and I always said "me voy a la playa." I go to the beach. Every. Single. Time. Because it was the only thing I felt comfortable pronouncing. She would raise an eyebrow, look mildly annoyed, and move on to the guy sitting next to me– who whipped out some Spanish diatribe of pentecostal proportions.
Whatever. He was probably just jealous of my imaginary beach getaways.
What hobbies do you have that you don't mention on your blog?
I can carry a tune. I sing in our church choir (when my baby allows me to) and used to sing with my rocker brother in college.
I also sing to my students– over the PA system at school, to get them to bring their library books back. Seriously. Nothing induces 2nd-grade guilt like a desperate librarian belting out "Your books are due back– Tomorrow…." (Annie's got nothing on me) over the loud speakers at 8 AM.
What do you love about yourself?
Is it possible to answer this without sounding vain?
My hair. I love my hair.
If money were no question, I'd purchase…
Patty Griffin. And she would live in my house. And she would sing to me about my life. All. Day. Long.
If that didn't work out, I'd buy an airplane and a pilot who could fly me, Sim, and Greg all over the country whenever we wanted. I wouldn't have to say "wish we lived closer" ever again.
So there you have it! Now that I'm sure you're just dying to befriend me (since I'm interesting and think far too much of my hair), I'm going to pass the love along. I'm supposed to choose bloggers to join in the fun, so how about Sarah Rogers, Kristen Slone, and Jill Bell, and Kelli McIntosh?
Pick 6 to answer for yourself:
1. Is this how you imagined your life would be?
2. Name one good deed you did that went unseen.
3. What's your drink of choice when out with girlfriends?
4. How did your blog come about?
5. Name something you've learned about yourself that has surprised you.
6. What hobbies do you have that you don't mention on your blog?
7. What do you love about yourself?
8. If money were no question, I'd purchase…
9. What's your biggest struggle in life?

Too short, too dark, too fat…too thin. Please de-bunk all this junk. Stereotyping of beauty has been normalised to such an extent that now we have become oblivious to trite comments. Being a part of the fashion industry, we see so many talented women being generalised and rejected on the drop of the hat. And from the societal point of view, at a juxtaposition of marriage, I hear of stories, and face them too, of how insignificant physical features become a deal breaker. When I look at a friend, crying after being rejected by a male chauvinist egostard, I can only think of how lucky any man would be to have her as his wife because she's right in what actually matters in life. These points are redundant in the fashion and beauty industry - yes - but what is beauty?
Beauty is a smile that you can't forget, beauty is the silver hair reeking of wisdom. Beauty is beyond big eyes or your body size. Beauty is anything that is simple, truthful and nice. Because beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
"Nazar nazar ki baat hai… warna nazaarei mei baat kuch bhi nahi"
BlabberCat, in association with Ommyra, presents 10 gorgeous ladies across Kolkata wearing various labels from the Camac Street multi-designer store. These women don't find themselves inadequate just because they don't meet a certain stereotype.
Beauty Spot
You've heard her voice on the Radio so many times and now you get to see the beautiful face that owns the voice. Well here you go, meet Nilanjana Banerjee wearing a white, frill summer maxi with a desi twist of elephant emblem (above); and a pistachio peplum top and dhoti with a solo embroidery (below(. She loves her beauty spot and doesn't understand why people forcefully get it removed. The retro phase of Hollywood and Bollywood has witnessed beauty icons artificially creating beauty spots and it's still considered lucky to have this added feature.
Short Hair
The first question every Indian mother will ask… how will you look in short hair with Indian clothes. And Harshika Tantia gave the final answer to this question - nothing less than stunning! Harshika is a well-known photographer in Kolkata and has done way to many shoots for us as well. But today we asked her to be in front of the camera. Contrary to her formal office wear style, we dressed her in colours of the Indian summer. We styled a cream lehenga skirt with bright handloom kurta and dupata first then with a trendy crop top and cape. Both reccomended for mehendi and day functions.
White Hair
Hair dye is so overrated. All your life you've had black hair and now don't you want a little change. Manjira Majumdar, a Media Professor doesn't need to look like one. She still looks glamorous and forgive me for using this word but oh-so-sexy. Innocent skin and shining eyes we loved watching her fuse fashion and wisdom. And her gentle personality seems best subtle and English colours. We styled ma'am in flare on top of flare with a handloom touch perfect for work-to-fun look.
Artfully shortie
Swati Pasari is an artist and sculptor, beautiful and usually the shorter one in the crowd. But you'll hardly notice that because she also has the most contagious and dazzling smile you'll ever see. We styled her in two contrasting looks, handloom and an evening gown. The blue comfortable handloom for her soul and the razzle-dazzle for the socialite life. We found Swati carry of earthy and vibrant colours, both with ease.
Skinny shaming is as bad as fat shaming. "You don't eat anything or what?" Yes she does. "Are you anorexic?" No she's not, please check the definition before saying that, do we go around asking people if they have depression, night blindness, diabetes etc? At 25 Mehek Singh Siddiq weighs lesser than most people her age but that's how her metabolism works. She leads a normal healthy life and faces no issue. She's beautiful and how! We first styled her in a dhoti jacket look that goes with party and ritual events. Keeping the same top we also got in the original gemotric pattern neon green, purple and beige cocktail evening skirt.
Healthy is the most polite word used to describe a girl who's on the fatter side. But Sonam Osatwal flicks her long admirable hair and laughs wondering what's wrong with being healthy? Hypnotising eyes and a soulful smile makes Sonam's positive vibes radiate from a distance. A fashion designer in the making, watch out for this baby doll. We styled her in blue to compliment her eyes and then we made her wear something more traditional with a dash of bright pink. We found these to electric colours to do best justice on her. Contrary to the what everyone believes, wear black to look thin. No thank you.
Nerd is the new sexy. A lot of people are wearing glasses even if they don't have power in their eyes. Srijita Ray Burman, a PR executive, shows how it's done in this denim fusion Indian, kurta and dupatta. She doesn't understand why does one need to take the pain of wearing contacts for long hours, especially during family functions. Glowing in her sensual self, Srijita really stands out in a crowd.
"Woa, how tall are you? Like 6 feet?" This a a very common question/remark Drishleen Sethi faces. A stylist and now a foodpreneur stands the tallest in every situation and doesn't need to hunch down. She has faced men getting awkward about being shorter than her but that doesn't bother her at all. Often people question her decision of being a stylist instead of a model, but the thing is she doesn't want to become a model, and no she's not a basketball player. She wants to step up the fashion and food game in the city as an entrepreneur. We styled the stylist in a printed long jacket that adds volume to any plain outfit and the pockets just add functionality in a formal way.
Middle - of the most charming - age
Meet Ommyra owner and fashionpreneur Seema Agarwal. She has been in the fashion industry since 30 years and still gives anyone a run for their money. Usually traditional but sometimes fun and trendy, Seema Agarwal never lets her busy schedule make do with a thoughtful outfit. We styled her in summer cotton blue on blue cords with a funky scarf.
And thats me, Astha Modi the average Indian face you've been showing so much love to in all my blog posts. Not too tall, not too skinny, not too fair, not too dark, just average and happy. Im wearing an olive green flattering ankle-length kurta with rust gold embroidery subtly scattered around the shoulder and chest. My personal style is very simple and comfortable but also that stands out for all the right reasons.

While every industry has its ups and downs, fashion is the only industry that is up even when it's down.

Winters in Kolkata magically spreads peace and love. The lazy sun, the Christmas pop-ups and carnivals, the cute outfits that we can't wait to wear; they're all perfectly acceptable reasons as to why one would NOT want to study.

Calcutta turned ruwoo with love as celebrated Makeup artist, Mickey Contractor, came to town for an interactive session on summer trends 2016, and if that wasn't enough Karen Thompson, brand manager at MAC Cosmetics, also flew down for a bloggers meet at MAC outlet at Quest Mall.
While one half of the society cannot wait to get their hands on the most cost-effective, jugaadu deals, others remain apprehensive to bite the juicy looking apple, weary of the potential poison of deceit inside. "The prices are too good to be true; there has too be a catch," they say. "They must have compromises on the quality of the product or worse still, we're being fed fakes." So let me pose a question to you all – Is it imperative for a good-quality product to always be exorbitantly priced? Are these big brands actually giving you a quality that is worth your hard-earned money? Are you one of those rare, fortunate ones who have never wailed about an expensive buy of shoddy quality? Well, we at BlabberCat bring to you a list of eight things which bust the myth of "mehenga hai toh achha hoga" and suggest thrifty alternatives to your irrelevant splurge – written Anushree Kanoi

President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe graced the event held to launch the Economic Development Plan of the present unity government called "Vision 2025: An Enriched Country"". It was held at the BMICH on September 4 under the patronage of the Media Ministry under the directions of Minister of Finance and Mass Media Mangala Samaraweera.
"The government will help everyone enjoy the benefits of social justice and market competition by creating a knowledge-based, highly competitive social market. Overall, we aim to raise per capita income to USD 5000 per year and generate one million new employment opportunities by 2020," President and Premier noted.
The Vision 2025 has proposed to build a strong economy through reconciliation and democracy ushering in a change in political culture escaping from the dark shadows of the past.
Following the presentation of the program, the President and the Prime Minister participated in a discussion outlining the vision instead of normal traditional speeches. Several young men and women participated in the discussion had the opportunity to ask questions relating to the program from the President and the Prime Minister for the benefit of the audience.
Answering the questions Prime Minister Wickremesinghe said that discussions are underway on 2025 economic reforms program. Amendments will be made if it is necessary, he said. Stability of the country is essential to go forward, he noted. It will be created for the national government to make Sri Lanka a prosperous country integrating trade, economy and social justice. Sri Lanka will be transformed into a hub in the Indian Ocean with a knowledge based, highly competitive, social market economy.

Duke started the season the favorite to win the national championship.
After a regular season plagued by injuries, including senior forward Amile Jefferson, freshmen Marques Bolden and Jayson Tatum, junior guard Grayson Allen and coach Mike Krzyzewski, along with Allen's one-game suspension, the Blue Devils seemed to put it all together just in time for the postseason. Duke entered the ACC tournament as a No. 5 seed, playing - and winning - four games in four days, something no other team had done in the league tournament.
The ACC title earned Duke a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament, where they played, along with North Carolina, in Greenville, S.C. instead of Greensboro. The NCAA moved the tournament site last year due to House Bill 2.
The Blue Devils cruised past Troy on Friday, 87-65, in the Round of 64. Sunday was a different story. Duke faced South Carolina in what was essentially a home game for the Gamecocks. South Carolina scored 65 points in the second half (Duke scored 51) to give the Gamecocks an 88-81 win over the Blue Devils, ending Duke's season in the Round of 32.
Here's what Twitter had to say:

Star Wars hype is real, everybody knows by now about Star Wars, and that's because about a month ago Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released and all the fans lost their minds, and Disney stood in the back counting all the money that this franchise brought. And by now everyone knows that you can make money by doing something Star Wars related, from YouTubers to entertainers and even the small time (7 second) ones, the Viners. And one of my favourite Viners, Rudy Mancuso, just boarded the hype train.
He has made a parody that shows how Star Wars could have been if it was directed by Hispanic guys, he is always poking fun at his nationality and all their customs. This time for the first episode of "Estar Guars" we meet Obi-Juan Kenobi and Master Yoda, master who teaches Juan how to use El-Force, by making him think about happy things as: football, tequila and Sofia Vergara. But, out of the sudden, Senior Vader comes to ruin their lesson and Juan needs to get angry and kill that son of a bitch! Watch all the madness right here:

Happy Thursday!
How do you like this off shoulder tunic? This blouse is from SheIn and is only $12!!!! I know lots of you had questions on my last SheIn blog post (here) about ordering from their site. So I figure this would be more of a review post to give you peace of mind about the site and what you should expect. So lets hop to it!!
Thoughts on this top:
- Its long! Its tunic length, so it hit me mid thigh. I was expecting it to hit at the waist which would make it easier to throw on with anything like jeans, pencil skirt or maxi skirt. So it makes it a bit awkward styling wise on choosing how to wear it. I just decided to tuck it in and keep it moving.
- Its lightweight material, but would still be hot during the summer. I wore this on a humid day and I was hot! The material is not cotton, so it doesn't breathe very well. I would suggest wearing this on cool,breezy days so you're not hot as heck 🙂 With 90 degree days hitting us in Texas, I may have to tuck this baby in the closet until cooler days.
- The sleeves are gathered so it has that elastic at the end. Some folks may not like that, I don't really have a problem with it.
- Do I like it? Would I order it again?? Yes!!! I mean its only $12!! Again, its not a piece to wear in the dead heat of summer. Those of you who live in cooler climates would benefit the most out of this piece right now. But, come fall it will be getting a lot of wear!!
Thoughts on ordering from SheIn:
- I know everyone is a little skeptical with ordering from a company overseas. I don't blame you with some of the horror stories and pics I've seen on Facebook of people ordering one thing and getting a hot mess. I have not experienced that with SheIn! Everything I have received looks just like the picture! So no worries there!
- READ THE REVIEWS!!!- I cannot stress this enough. I encourage you to do so because thats what I do before proceeding to order. The reviews give me peace of mind and also some feedback that I can apply to whether or not it will work for me. I haven't ordered anything that doesn't have a review. With that being said, I have only returned 2 pieces so far due to the fit/ material or I just didn't like it on me. I think this is typical when you order online, so its to be expected!
- It may take you a while to receive your items- It typically takes me a week or week and a half to receive my order. So plan accordingly!
- Pay close attention to the "Description" section- this will tell you what type of material the product is made of, if there is stretch and sizing info. This will be very helpful in determining how the product will hang or drape on you, the fabric type, what size to order etc. I always make sure to review the size chart before selecting. So make sure to do that. Also, I find most pieces from SheIn to have thin material. So check out the description box to determine what its made of. If you equate quality with heaviness of the fabric, you may not get that with SheIn.
I hope this honest review helps. I know so many of you had reservations on what to expect and was unsure if you should order. So this should put some of those fears to rest. If you have any questions, please comment below or even email me. I'll be happy to give you my two cents!
See you Sunday for my next post!!

|Rozbicki J., Witek B., Steifer T., Lewandowski M., Doppler-based blood pressure measurement system for patients supported by a continuous-flow rotary left ventricular assist device, 2017 IEEE, 2017 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium, 2017-09-06/09-09, Washington, DC (US), DOI: 10.1109/ULTSYM.2017.8091990, pp.1-4, 2017
The medical management of patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) requires frequent measurement and analysis of various physiological parameters. Among the most important is blood pressure (BP), which cannot be reliably measured by the standard oscillometric method because of an impaired pulsation due to continuous flow. The objective of this work is to show the feasibility of ultrasound-based BP measurement in a portable, easy to use device for patients with LVAD in home-based rehabilitation environments, enabling long-term remote monitoring. We have implemented a BP measurement system which uses continuous wave (CW) Doppler ultrasound for blood flow detection. The system is based on a standard cuff design with custom analog CW circuitry connected to a high-performance, low-power 32-bit microcontroller (ARM Cortex-M7). The uC is responsible for system control, as well as Doppler signal acquisition and processing. A dedicated ultrasound probe equipped with an elastic strap is placed over the radial artery. In the target solution, the cuff pressure and CW signal will be analyzed in real-time to provide systolic and/or mean blood pressure. At present, we have acquired raw signals for off-line analysis. The system was tested in clinical experiments both on healthy patients and patients with three types of commercially available LVADs (HeartWare, HeartMate II and HeartMate III). The observed morphology of Doppler signals in patients with LVADs was much more variable between patients and pumps. In most cases, we were able to estimate the systolic pressure, but the measurement of diastolic pressure was not conclusive. We observed variable blood flow patterns generated by the Lavare cycle (a periodic speed modulation feature of some LVADs), which further complicates the estimation. A prototype of an automatic BP measuring device for patients with rotary LVADs has been demonstrated. In the next step, we are planning an animal validation study with invasive blood pressure monitoringKeywords:

Ultrasound Phased-Array (PA) systems for nondestructive testing (NDT) use standard beamforming for line-byline image creation. New methods utilizing full-matrix capture (FMC) enable the application of advance processing algorithms, such as the total focusing method and multi-pass adaptive techniques for enhanced flaw visualization. The effective FMC data acquisition and its real-time processing require a very high data throughput and powerful computational resources. Most commercial PA systems support some form of FMC acquisition, but the limited external data bandwidth prevents this mode of operation from being useful. We have developed a fully programmable ultrasound research system capable of performing FMC data acquisition and image reconstruction with a high framerate. The ultrasound platform is supporting up to 192 parallel TX/RX electronics channels integrated with an embedded control PC and a GPU cluster for parallel processing. The implemented software libraries give the end-user control over TX/RX schemes, the acquisition process and signal processing algorithms. This all-in-one system is a fully flexible tool for the research and evaluation of novel Phased-Array FMC imaging methods and complex signal processing algorithms.Keywords:

This paper is a part of the IUS 2016 Planewave Imaging Challenge submission. Spatial compounding of several low-resolution images taken from different angles is a well-established practice in ultrasound imaging. The usual procedure relies on averaging several images using arithmetic mean. An alternative approach is presented, which relies on multiplication of the low-resolution images.Keywords:

In spite of the progress in material engineering and ventricular assist devices construction, thromboembolism remains the most crucial problem in mechanical heart supporting systems. Therefore, the ability to monitor the patient's blood for clot formation should be considered an important factor in development of heart supporting systems. The well-known methods for automatic embolus detection are based on the monitoring of the ultrasound Doppler signal. A working system utilizing ultrasound Doppler is being developed for the purpose of flow estimation and emboli detection in the clinical artificial heart ReligaHeart EXT. The system will be based on the existing dual channel multi-gate Doppler device with RF digital processing. A specially developed clamp-on cannula probe, equipped with 2 − 4MHz piezoceramic transducers, enables easy system setup. We present the issues related to the development of automatic emboli detection via Doppler measurements. We consider several algorithms for the flow estimation and emboli detection. We discuss their efficiency and confront them with the requirements of our experimental setup. Theoretical considerations are then met with preliminary experimental findings from a) flow studies with blood mimicking fluid and b) in-vitro flow studies with animal blood. Finally, we discuss some more methodological issues - we consider several possible approaches to the problem of verification of the accuracy of the detection system.Keywords:

New York (PRWEB) November 05, 2016
Billie Bumble, the Car Window Shade today that offers drivers a universal UV ray barrier, announced today that customer response has been spectacular on Amazon.com in the weeks following the product's initial launch. Strong sales and a steady flow of positive feedback highlight the allure of the innovative car shade.
"We are thrilled by the response," said a spokesperson for Billie Bumble. "I think it shows how people value simplicity, quality and value. Car windows shades sound like a great idea but so many of them don't work well or last very long. We've solve the biggest problems: installation, the need for fresh air, durability and full window covering."
Customer reviews express surprise at how easy the product is to use and how effective it can be in shading the backseat. "All I can say is 'wow'!," one reviewer stated. "It took less than a minute to install and it lets me have fresh air in the back seat!" Another customer commented, "I like having the neat little round storage bag so I can stow it between the armrests when I don't need it. Then, it's there in a second when I want some shade."
The Billie Bumble Car Window Shade goes over the entire door frame like a sock. This design makes it possible to roll the window down and enjoy fresh air in the car while getting full sun protection on the window. Young children appreciate both of these features. The airflow helps them stay cool while covering 100% of the window gets rid of sun glare at the edges, which can be especially irritating for children.
In contrast, many other car window shades require glue or suction cups for installation. These come off at inconvenient times and may also damage the windows. These spring-loaded roll-down shades frequently break and become useless. And, even when they work they don't cover the entire window.
The Billie Bumble Car Window Shade provides privacy for passengers and cargo whether the car is parked or on the move. The material is thin enough that the car door will close when the sock-like shade has been stretched over the outer frame of the window. The product measures 44.5 x 0.2 x 20.1 inches. It comes with a storage bag for easy access. All purchases are covered by the Billie Bumble Product Defect Replacement Warranty.

The PAVINA glass is made from mouth-blown, heat-resistant borosilicate glass which allows tea lovers to visually enjoy the rich colors their favorite teas offer. Freely swirling tea leaves will release their full potential, like in a Bodum tea pot but on a smaller scale. With a length of 11.7 cm (4.6 inch), it fits into all Bodum mugs. The lid is dual purpose. If put upside-down onto the strainer it keeps the water warm while the tea is brewing, if flipped after the brewing it can be used as a saucer for the tea infuser. The hole on top of the tea infuser allows for easy storage by just hanging it up. All parts are dishwasher safe.

text: Raising Kids Activities The 21 Merit Badges Required for Eagle Scouts The Lowdown on Boy Scout Merit Badges By Jackie Burrell Updated February 18, 2017 Pin Flip Email Print Google Images More in Raising Kids Activities Celebrations Gear and Products Technology Boy Scouts is all about camping, hiking, and adventure, but it's also about acquiring the skills to not only survive in the wilderness but to contribute to society as a whole. Eagle Scouts must complete a minimum of 21 merit badges. That may seem like a lot, but it's just 10 more badges than a Life Scout already has, and chances are, your son has already completed many of the badges on the required list. Your child's list of badges must include these 12 very specific topics: Required Badges for Eagle First Aid: One of the first merit badges to be offered by the Boy Scouts of America, the first aid badge requires the ability to help when someone is ill or injured until professional help arrives.Citizenship in the Community: Understanding how to participate in local government and make changes is part of the path to earning this badge.Citizenship in the Nation: Standing up for the rights of others and defending our country and the rights of individuals are key to this badge being earned by and Eagle Scout.Citizenship in the World: This badge is awarded for being openminded and seeing past differences to understand how others in our world live, despite our differences.Communications: As stated by the U.S. Department of Education: "Communication focuses on how people use messages to generate meanings within and across various contexts, cultures, channels, and media. The field of communication promotes the effective and ethical practice of human communication." Personal Fitness: The twelve weeks spent working towards the personal fitness badge should allow scouts to learn the importance of taking care of their bodies and staying fit and healthy for their entire lives. Emergency Preparedness or the Lifesaving badge: Being prepared to help save someones life who is hurt or in distress in or on the water is the focus of this important badge. Truly the definition of "be prepared."Environmental Science: Long before it was a trend, the Boy Scouts organization was concerned about the sustained health and well-being of our outdoor environment. Scouts learn all kinds of skills pertaining to the outdoors to earn this badge.Personal Management: "Personal management is about mapping a plan for your life that will involve setting short-range and long-range goals and investigating different ways to reach those goals. Education, training, and experience all help make your goals become a reality. To achieve your goals, you will choose the best path and make a commitment to it, while remaining flexible enough to deal with changes and new opportunities." - Boy Scouts of America Swimming, Hiking or the Cycling badge - Safety and competence in these three areas is key to being a healthy and well-rounded young man.Camping: Camping and scouting have been intertwined ever since the Boy Scouts of America organization began. When he founded the Scouting movement in the early 1900s, Robert Baden-Powell encouraged every Scout to learn the art of living out-of-doors. Mastering the tools and skills needed to survive and thrive in the outdoors are at the heart of what scouting is about. Family Life: Appreciating the precious gift of a family and creating a strong family in the future are lessons and goals scouts are encouraged to learn and aspire to. Some of these badges are very time-consuming. Personal Fitness, for example, is not difficult, particularly for anyone involved in high school athletics, but it's a 3-month time commitment and if your child does not stay on top of the significant amounts of record-keeping, it quickly turns nightmarish. Environmental Science can be loads of fun, but it's almost impossible to do at home. In short, there are some insider bits of information - tips that anyone with an older Eagle scout will already know - that can make a huge difference in getting these requirements fulfilled in a timely, manageable and fun manner.

MMA Technique of the Week is a series of articles delving into a technique or strategy used in fighting or combat sports. It's important to note that this series is not intended to teach how these techniques are performed (if you'd like to learn combative techniques, find a qualified instructor or gym!).
Instead, TotW is intended to explain what the technique is and how the techniques fit into a fighter's game plan, strategy and how it is used in a fight. It's my hope that this series will help fight fans and enthusiasts understand the intricacies of Mixed Martial Arts and gain an appreciation for the artistry brought to bear in MMA.
MMA Technique of the Week
The Triangle Choke
The triangle choke belongs to a broad category of techniques referred to as submissions, intended to bring about the end of a fight by causing the opposing fighter to "tap out" or give up and/or go unconscious.
The triangle should more properly be called a strangulation, in that when properly applied the technique cuts off the blood supply to the brain rather than obstructing the flow of air into the lungs.
The most common place to see the triangle applied is when one fighter is in the opposing fighter's guard, or on the ground sitting between his legs. The fighter with his legs wrapped around his opponent is said to have the guard while the fighter who is within his opponent's legs is in the guard.
To set up the triangle the fighter who has the guard needs to place one of his legs on top of his opponent's shoulder tight against his opponent's neck. The other leg reaches up and the attacking fighter locks his ankles behind his opponent's back. It's critical that he has one of his opponent's arms still in-between his legs as the choke is applied by pressure of his leg, and his opponent's shoulder pressing on the carotid arteries of the neck.
A great example of this set-up can be seen below in this image from the fight between Nick Diaz and Kurt Pellegrino (UFC Fight Night Florian vs Lauzon). Nick Diaz is on is back, with Kurt Pellegrino in his guard and sets up the triangle:
The final step to finish the triangle choke is to pull the leg on the neck down behind the knee of the opposite leg. This locks the hold in place, preventing his opponent from escaping. Pulling down on his opponent's head will deepen the choke and is a common way to finish.
The full triangle, from setup to finish can be seen here, when Jake Matthews submits Dashon Johnson (UFC Fight Night 43):
The triangle choke is a technique capable of completely changing the course of a fight. A competitor who finds himself on his back with his opponent on top of him can either end the fight or put himself in a very advantageous position.
Beyond simply using the choke to submit your opponent, a fighter can:
Reverse the Position: This is when the fighter on the bottom secures the triangle and uses that leverage to roll his opponent underneath him/her transitioning into what is called the mounted triangle.
A good example of this was in UFC Fight Night 51 when Godofredo Pepey submitted Dashon Johnson:
Godofredo also uses this position to attack the exposed arm in a joint lock known as an Arm Bar (soon to be covered in another TotW!) and secures the win.
Striking: The secure, tight positioning of the triangle also allows the fighter holding his opponent to strike, using fists or elbows.
A great example of this strategy can be seen in this classic fight between Anderson Silva and Travis Lutter on UFC 67:

Well, this is my first blog ever and for someone who has had teachers in school and college tell she is not a writer this is a major step. I am writing about a new adventure I am taking. It is my exploration around angels. On our radio show, Living and Working on Purpose which is a part of Exceptional wisdom radio, I interviewed a woman, Karen Forrest, who is an Angel Therapy Practioner. Karen has written a book called Angels of the Maritimes. It is a wonderful little book about angel stories experienced by people of the maritimes states around Nova Scotia. I really enjoyed the book. You can find more about Karen and her book at her website.
First, understand I have had an affinity for angels for years. I have been in shops when a small figurine of an angel would call to me to purchase it (I have the figurine in my house now) and I am one of those people who is not really big on figurines. So to purchase it was out of the ordinary.
So during our interview that day with Karen, I felt a real stirring in myself to find out more about angels and what it means to be an Angel Therapy Practitioner. I have done just a small bit of research and found Doreen Virture's website. I checked my local library to find out if they had any of her books and they don't. I did read a book by James Van Pragh by the name of Talking to Heaven. I have also been asking around my community to see if anyone knows anything about angels or people studying angels, etc. While working on my computer two weeks ago, I clearly heard the message. Call Marilyn. Marilyn is a friend of mine. We went to college together lost contact and then when we moved to Flat Rock I met her again. We have not been in touch for a couple of years now. So when the message came to call Marilyn it wasn't a common event. I called Marilyn at 9:18pm on an evening. I even thought I hope this is not too late. We talked for about an hour.
She told me of a group that is meeting 2 times a month lead by Steve Forbes (no relation to the economist, Steve Forbes and Forbes magazine) and they are studying angels. She went on to give me Steve's phone number. Since that phone call to Marilyn, I have purchased a Doreen Virtue book on Archangels and Ascended Masters, attended my first Angel study group and talked with others who are interested in angels.
According to Karen and Steve, angels want to help us. They are wanting to be of service to us. We can call on them at anytime about anything. So I have been doing some of this. Here are some of the amazing things that have been happening:
1. We gave away our van that needed a new transmission to a family that needed a vehicle. The van had been sitting for months in our yard without starting. Brad had been out trying to start the van and it wouldn't start. So I said a little prayer asking Archangel Michael to please help it start the next day. Guess what?!!!! It started right up. I am so grateful to Archangel Michael.
2. I went to a church auction that was benefitting the youth group. When we got there everything was being sold for hundreds of dollars. This just didn't fit in my budget at this time. Toward the end of the auction an entertainment center came up for sale. The bidding started at $20. The next bid was for $25 so my daughter said "Mom, let's bid on it. We could use an entertainment center instead of that book case we use." So I raised my bidding padle. The next thing I know they said "Sold for $25." The angels were at work again.
3. This week I was looking for a lost check. After a phone call letting us know that it had been mailed and we should have it. I laid down and meditated. I asked the angels where could the check be. They told me to go upstairs to my office and check a certain drawer. I did and there it was.
While it may seem coinscidental to you, I don't be believe in coinscidences. I believe everthing happens for a reason and that there is much more than what meets the eye. We only have to believe. If you don't believe then think about things that mean the most in life. Love. You can't touch it, feel it, smell it or see it but it is very real. In fact, without love we perish. We loose the spark that life was meant to be.
This is the end of my first blogging. Thanks for anyone who may read it. I hope you enjoy it. Ann

Keeping the positive energy rolling we're headed into the great state of Utah. We're keeping a leg up on the DC40 Prayer initative and we're sending out light and love to the people of Utah. If you'd like to tell us some of your memories, thoughts or opinions about Utah. Visit our Facebook Group called "What Makes Your State Great". Here's we're putting together facts, thoughts and energy for each state as the prayer initiative lays it's self proclaimed siege to our nation.
My facts come from the website 50states.com. Thoughts, suggestions, prayers and comments welcome.
Completion of the world's first transcontinental railroad was celebrated at Promontory where the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads met on May 10, 1869. It is now known as Golden Spike National Historic Site.
The Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City took 40 years to complete. The Mormon temples in St. George, Manti and Logan Utah were completed before the Salt Lake Temple.
The Great Salt Lake covers 2,100 square miles, with an average depth of 13 feet. The deepest point is 34 feet.
Rainbow Bridge, Nature's abstract sculpture carved of solid sandstone, is the world's largest natural-rock span. It stands 278 feet wide and 309 feet high.
The Wasatch mountain range is named after a Ute Indian name meaning "mountain pass" or "low place in a high mountain".
The name Utah comes from the Native American Ute tribe and means people of the mountains. A good resource for the history of the native people of Utah can be found here.
From the Fremont people the Anasazi to the Uti people, each group brought their own traditions and beliefs into the culture. Utah was born of a Native or a Pagan Culture. It wasn't until the 1800's that Christianity in the form of Mormon was introduced into this state with the arrival of Brigham Young.
I'd like to share the following videos with you.
First this one is called The Anasazi Death Song.
Next I'd like to share some of the Ute music.
This is the Ute Bear Dance Song.
This is the Ute Sun Dance Song.
Each state in our union has a colorful and vibrant history. Each of the people individual and honorable. Our nation was founded on deeds that were not always so honorable. We need to look at this history and learn that we cannot take from a people what is their own right granted by their own creator. We cannot let the majority rule over the minority. We must support the rights of each to be an individual and enjoy the freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Included in this is the right to worship our own creator as we see fit.
Sending protection blessings out to Utah and to Columbia, who for me, represents freedom of religion.
Namaste & Blessed Be
Hail Utah!
