Canyon, Farm & Garden Houses
On the western edge of campus, on SE 28th Ave, these houses offer the opportunity to live in a unique, tight-knit, communal house environment. Each house serves as a residential home for a small number of students, generally returning students.

All of the houses sponsor campus-wide cultural events including film festivals, meals, and concerts.
The original four houses, designed by A.E. Doyle in 1922, were once home to Reed faculty. In 2008, the Spanish House was designed to compliment A.E. Doyle's design and a plaza was added to give residents an outdoor gathering space that fosters community between the houses.

Old Dorm Block was built in 1912 and remodeled in 1992. The design was inspired by old English manor houses, with grotesques scattered about the roofs and doorways.
Old Dorm Block is divided into eight conjoining residence halls: Winch, Quincy, Doyle, Eastport, Westport, Kerr, Abington, and Ladd. These residence halls are some of the most popular on campus, as they are quite spacious and many have fireplaces, balconies, and window seats. Other amenities include kitchenettes (without ovens), a large lounge with a TV and pool table, a laundry room, bike storage, and student storage space.

Love always gets the credit for bringing couples together. And most couples would surely agree with that. But thanks to a new dating app just released at the beginning of February, hate will also help start new romances.
Generally, dating apps match up users with mutual likes and preferences. But this new app takes a totally different approach. It brings people together based on their mutual dislikes.
Learning English – love at first sight
The app is called Hater and was the brainchild of Brendan Alper, a former employee of Goldman Sachs. According to Alper, the idea for the app began as a joke. But soon he started thinking the concept could actually work. Taking the idea more seriously, he looked around to see if there was any research to support this concept. Eventually, he found some studies to back up his intuition.
The app is pretty simple to use. You are given a series of topics ranging from Donald Trump to airplane seats. You swipe up to love and down to hate. With this information, Hater will look for potential matches in your area based on what you hate. And with a little luck, maybe you can find that special someone to spend a life griping about things with.

I agree that broker-specfic queues are useful, but they are not strictly required to be a non-nitch messaging system. Using demand based forwarding we can reproduce pretty much the same effect of certain queues being hosted on certain brokers by just being careful on what brokers we run JMS consumers on and then let the demand based forwarding mimick the same topology of broker-specific queues. -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/

Far Cry 3 Shows Some South Africa Love
Maybe it's just the in-thing now to get South Africa involved in your projects as this seems to be a trend right now and Far Cry 3 goes along with that trend.
It's great to see Ubisoft celebrating South African culture once again, if you can call Die Antwoord culture. But Ubisoft also did something similar in Far Cry 2 where the natives on the island spoke Afrikaans as the game takes place in modern-day Central Africa.
Gamers who venture to the south-eastern side of the island can find the head of Mintz-Plasse buried in the sand. It's a trophy for gamers to unlock the achievement as well as a reference for the fans who followed the Far Cry Experience videos on YouTube.
Winner chosen!

True Start Athletics presents: Care for Kenya
Organized by: Kyle Greene
EVENT DATE Jul 05, 2015
In a world of abundance it is quite questionable, and darn near unthinkable to try to comprehend how any one person could "go without," while so many others live in abundance. Abundance: "an ample quantity; relative degree of plentifulness." While many individuals depend on their next paychecks to buy groceries for the following week, or must choose the off-brand products because they cannot afford higher quality goods, food or services, the one thing that many of us are afforded is a choice. We are afforded the opportunity to live with a "relative degree of plentifulness" if we choose to live with a lower degree of quality. Unfortunately, the same reality does not exist for many other members of this global community.
The reality for many of the students and families in Kenya is that the concept of abundance is lost on them. Even the idea of sufficiency is one that exists as a dream hoped for, rather than a realistic goal aspired towards. In schools where 3-5 children share one book, children use pencils shorter than the length of their finger (if they have a pencil of their own at all), tattered uniforms riddled with holes are worn day in and day out by the students, many of whom walk 2-3 hours to school each way with holes in their shoes or no shoes at all, the true reality is one of absence rather than abundance. Doing without is substituted for doing with less. Making it out or making a change is the dream. Just making it is the reality.
However, dreams can and do come true. "True Start Athletics presents: Care for Kenya" is a program established and operated by True Start Athletics, Inc to provide students and families in distinct areas of Kenya with the tools and services that they need in order to be educationally successful, and to enhance students' academic/educational experiences through multiple modalities. True Start Athletics is currently working with 6 schools in Kenya to provide students and families determined to be in the highest of need with educational supplies, uniforms, shoes, funding for lunch and a host of other goods and services.
Individual members of True Start Athletics fund their own travel to Kenya each year to personally deliver goods and supplies, purchase new uniforms and shoes, as well as to engage with the students and expose them to new experiences. Newly launched initiatives of "The Arts" as well as "Athletics" seek to provide students with a more robust and comprehensive educational experience by providing schools with art and athletic supplies, as well provide the students with instruction and dynamic exposure to the use of their new supplies.
Many individuals ask themselves (and us) "why should I give to children abroad when there are children here that need help as well?" There are many answers to that question. The answers that seem to resound the most are because you can and because it truly will make a difference that you personally will be able to see. There is no such thing as giving too little, as any amount donated goes directly to the needs of the students. We encourage any donor who would find themselves curious to personally contact a team member and we will gladly provide you with a copy of the projected financial breakdown, as well as an itemized spending sheet after the trip. Should you desire a more personal connection, individuals providing donations of $100 or more will receive a picture of a student in Kenya with a "thank you" sign personally addressed to that donor.
You CAN make a difference. You CAN change the course of the life of one, or even many students. You WILL see the effects of your giving. We may not be able to change the world, but we can change the world for some.

In the past, many television shows have tried their hand at creating musical episodes. Some have been successful (Scrubs, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and others have failed (Grey's Anatomy). With the rise of the Broadway musical Hamilton as such a phenomenon, I have a feeling musical episodes will make a comeback, or at I least I hope they do. Here's my list of the top 5 shows that should have a musical episode.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This would be a little more difficult to fit into the storyline, but maybe an Inhuman could have powers that make everyone sing? The only real reason I want this to happen is because of Joss Whedon's success with other musical episodes like Buffy's "Once More Time, With Feeling" and Dr. Horrible. I'm not sure how the cast would feel, but I think it would a solid hour of television.
Broad City
Mr. Robot
I had to throw a curve ball unto the end of this list. Sam Esmail is a brilliant writer and director, plus the show is known for its perfect song song choices. I think it could be an interesting challenge. Besides don't we all want to hear Rami Malek sing?
These are just a few of the shows I think deserve a musical episode, but I would honestly watch any show that took on the challenge (and for people looking for more songs in their TV viewing right now, CW's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend churns out the musical goodness weekly). I think it's an interesting concept for any show to tackle. Whether it's a success or a complete disaster, I think these types of episodes can draw a decent audience. With the rise of musical events on television, we will have to wait and see what kinds of trends this leads to. We already have The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hairspray coming later this year, but I think there's a gap when it comes Broadway-themed shows.
What shows do you wish had a musical episode? Hit the comments below!

I juxtapose fragments of video in order to investigate how we blur and complicate moments in our personal and collective memories, transforming them into myth. I often reference the screen to investigate the act of looking from internet-distance, asking how we are shaped by gazing at ourselves and others online. Inspired by my hybrid identity: Filipino-Armenian American, mixed-race and queer, I also work with ideas of translation, collective trauma and generational transformation and loss. An evocative sound design, alluding to the frailty and vulnerability of our human condition, is created by manipulating noises emitted from household objects.

The Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee will not be including President Trump's plan to privatize air traffic control in their upcoming aviation bill.
The Trump administration had been hoping the plan would be included in an upcoming bill reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration, whose legal authority will otherwise expire this September. Committee Chairman John Thune (R-SD) said Trump's proposal will have to try to pass through the House first.
"No, we don't have the votes to pass that in our committee at the moment," Thune said today. "We'll see what the House is able to do and we'll proceed accordingly. But if that issue were to get addressed, it would probably have to be on the floor in conference."
Under Trump's plan, safety oversight authority would be retained by the FAA, but a nonprofit corporation would control the country's air navigation system, funded by user fees. Concerns from Democratic and some GOP congressman have arisen regarding whether this gives too much power to a handful of aviation CEOs. Smaller airports and civilian aviators in particular may be unable to keep up with the potential rising costs to fly under such a system.
"Essentially you're going to be privatizing the power to tax," said Paul Hudson, member of an FAA advisory committee and president of passenger advocacy group FlyersRights.org.
Proponents of the plan, however, argue that transferring control to a private entity would streamline operations that are sometimes burdened by government bureaucracy, and free up the system to upgrade more quickly. They criticize the FAA as being tasked with regulating an agency that they also run.
"You have what is in essence a technology business embedded in a governmental agency," said D.J. Gribbin, the president's top infrastructure adviser.
Senate Republicans, however, are not willing to risk the FAA's reauthorization by pairing in Trump's more controversial proposal.
"With the administration's support of this concept, the chances of getting a long-term FAA reauthorization in my view have now been diminished," Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) said earlier this month.
The upcoming FAA reauthorization likely be voted through "next week," according to Thune. It is unknown whether the House will rally around Trump's plan at a later date, but many political experts have estimated that its chances are more favorable than the more-cautious GOP Senate.

J. Tyson Tildon, president of the Baltimore school board, saw red recently when he came across a "finding" by Harvard University researchers that good reading instruction can overcome the home conditions of impoverished children.
Total number of children tested to reach the conclusion: five.
"This is really bad," says Tildon, a biochemist and professor of pediatrics at the University of Maryland. "In medicine, we would never put out anything like that."
But it happens thousands of times a year in education research, as Tildon says he's discovered in seeking policy guidance in his two years as city school board president.

We made
a responsive website for
reflecting the company, its values, ethos, capabilities and competence
Broxton is a leading provider of sheet metalwork and precision machined components.
We were commissioned to design a new website that reflected not only the company, its values and ethos, but also to highlight its capabilities and competence.
We chose a masculine black and grey colour scheme to complement the strong red logo. Hyperlinks and quotes were also picked out in red to lift the page.
Good use of whitespace gives the site a feeling of space and emphasises the size of the company. To ilustrate competency and capability in a non-overt way we dropped in small company facts and quotes on each page. Read in a few seconds, these leave the visitor with the perfect impression of Broxton as a thoroughly dynamic, modern and capable company.
Responsive design
An important part of the redesign, with the increasing usage of tablets and smartphones, was to ensure the site provided a good user experience across multiple devices.
We used a fluid layout with carefully placed media queries to allow the design to respond to differing screen widths. Viewed on an iPad in landscape, the placement of content is the same as on a desktop.
On an iPad held in portait orientation, the screen width is reduced. Rather than reducing the size of the font so that we can squeeze in all the content, we used media queries to re-structure the content. The illustrative images which previously flowed down the right hand side of the page now re-flow across the top.
On smaller screens, the viewport is restricted, so we re-arrange the display again and remove some elements – in this case, the size of the main image is reduced and we remove the side images as they're not core content that mobile users with restricted bandwidth need.
In implementing a responsive design, we can ensure that for every possible view - desktop, tablet or smartphone in both landscape or portrait orientation - the website content is displayed for an optimal viewing experience. Visitors don't need to resize the site to read the copy - there's now none of the normal pinch and zoom, regardless of the device.
And this is all done with one website – there's no need to maintain 2 websites, with one for desktops and a cut-down version for mobile devices.

Marylhurst art alum Jef Gunn '05 was profiled by Oregon Arts Watch about his art-making process and philosophy in conjunction with his Sept. 2017 exhibition at Augen Gallery.
Jef Gunn creates art in a variety of forms, though he is best known for his encaustic paintings. Jef began using encaustic in 1985, before there were any books or classes on it. With encaustic, he brings together all of his other methods: papers and inks, fabric, tar and gold. His work draws on multiple lineages of art, culture and spiritual meaning.
Some of Jef's works are now on display in an exhibition, Walking Land and Sky, at Augen Gallery in Northwest Portland, now through Sept. 30, 2017.
Oregon Arts Watch talked with Jef about this exhibition and his general approach to art-making. Here are our favorite excerpts from the conversation:
What do you think about paint? What is your relationship with paint? There are painters who have a relationship with paint itself and there are painters who just want to make an image with paint.
I love everything about it. I love color and form, but also material—I don't only use oil paint and encaustic—primarily I do that. It's material, the thing itself. Oil paint can be a lot of different things. It can be dry and wispy or it can be scratchy or wet and gooey. And it reveals your hand. It reveals a momentary gesture. It's like your mind thinks something, your hand does it, and—something about the springiness of the brush, the viscosity of the paint—it appears as your thought.
Do you still do drawing?
Not as much and I feel guilty about that.
Drawing guilt?
It still feels to me true that it's the foundation. I used to draw incessantly. I've got boxes and boxes of old stuff.
Why do you think that dwindled away?
The more I started painting and the more I started going into the sort of repetition pieces on paper. The more I paint I think more like painting than I think like drawing. There's an interesting correspondence between Matisse and Bonnard. When Matisse was feeling depressed about his painting, he said that a colorist who is a drawer is not the same thing as a painter, and that made me look at those two painters differently. And even in Bonnard's drawings he draws like a painter. He draws shapes and textures and squiggles because he's working the shape and texture in the field of the shape whereas Matisse draws and then puts big flats of color around to the drawing more or less.
What do you think about being a painter in the age of video and computer generated art?
There's a part of me that feels like one day the electricity is going to go out and everyone's going to not know how to sharpen a pencil. Some of my hobbies include edge tools—chisels and gouges, saws and things like that. I'm a carpenter, so I've got a huge collection of chisels and planes and things. I like to know how to keep them sharp. There are a lot of things you can do just as fast with hand tools. I love hand tools. I love tools of all kinds. So I'm very interested in non-electric and non-digital things—not just to preserve them in a museum. But, I have a feeling that it connects one to the moment in a way that screens don't. Screens can't actually.

This little stoneware vessel is from the early 1900s used by Boston manufacturer H. A. Johnson & Co. for bakers & confectioners supplies. I'm imagining its life -- filled to the brim with vanilla, transported here to Charleston, and lovingly poured into hundreds of our southern delicacies. And, after many decades on someone else's shelf, it made its way to an estate sale where i snapped it up! Of course my first thought was it needed to be showcased in a still life. :)

It's time you get off the wagon and get back to the basics.
Related: 17 Tips to Drive Better Upper Body Gains
When a professional basketball player loses his ability to shoot a basketball, a professional baseball player loses their swing, or a golfer loses their ability to putt, there is one phrase that is repeated time after time to that individual in an effort towards getting them back to performing at a high level.
You have to get back to the basics.Any teammate, coach, or sport analyst discussing how that player can get back on track will say that they need to remember the basics. The player needs to get back in the mindset of when they first started playing the sport. They need to remind themselves of the steps they took within those first months and years of training to perfect their craft.
This phrase isn't something that applies strictly to professional level athletes. This is a mantra us bodybuilders, powerlifters, and gym rats tend to forget over our years of training.
Sometimes we can get caught up in the newest, latest workout craze and wonder why we're not making any new progress in the gym.
Do this exercise and never do that one. Workout for this amount of time and not a minute longer. Don't do more than this many sets or this many reps.
Sometimes these rules and stipulations that are set within certain workout programs can detract us from where our lifting journey began. We tend to forget about the basics and forget where it all started that first time we walked into the gym: bench press, rows, pull-ups, and curls. Basic, strong, and effective lifts.
By pressing the rewind button and getting back to the basics you can take yourself back to making serious gains and build the upper body you've always wanted.
Incorporating one basic, heavy compound movement paired with two, lighter weight isolation movements will allow you to build strength and power in the muscle while effectively targeting each muscle within the particular muscle group. By using the 3 lifts described below for each body part you can build a strong, full, and shredded upper body without the fluff and not have to spend hours upon hours in the gym making sure you did enough. With these movements you can be confident that you are training your upper body with precision.
3 Upper Body Exercises for Each Body Part
3 Back to Basics Chest ExercisesIn order to build a full, round, strong chest you need to train it from multiple angles. By putting your body in a flat, incline, or decline position while performing chest movements you are activating your entire chest from the upper to lower muscle groups within your chest.
#1 - Barbell Bench Press (Flat/Incline)The bench press is the king of all chest movements for a reason. It's straight forward, simple, and effective. As a compound lift, the bench press can be performed flat or at an incline to engage more of your upper chest. Going heavier with a lower rep range on your bench press is going to build the strength and mass you want in your chest and pairs perfectly with the following isolation exercises.
#2 - Cable FlyPerforming the cable fly in a high rep, low rest fashion is going to assist you in building the shape of your chest. Making sure you get a wide stretch on the eccentric motion of this exercise and flexing your chest hard on the concentric motion, you will build the definition and striations in your inner and outer chest.
#3 - DipsDips are going to engage your chest and triceps which is why it's important you lean your body forward so you can target the motion in your chest. By leaning forward this exercise places a great amount of emphasis on your lower chest, allowing you to sculpt the bottom of your chest. By using just these three exercises on your chest day or push day you can carve your chest into one that is both strong and defined.
3 Back to Basics Back ExercisesYour back is one of the more difficult muscle groups to train because you can't see it when you train. But, with these three back movements you can be sure you're effectively training your entire back. With these three basic back movements you'll hit your upper, mid, and lower back, training it from top to bottom to produce a massive, wide back.
#1 - DeadliftsUsually thought of as strictly a leg or hamstring exercise, the deadlift does wonders in strengthening your lower back. In order to get that full, Christmas-tree like lower back you need to perform deadlifts. By strengthening your lower back you will improve your back size, improve your posture, and get stronger in all other back movements.
#2 - RowsIn my opinion rows are the single best exercise you should be doing to put on size in your back. The row can be performed in a variety of ways from cable rows, machine rows, and dumbbell rows. The rowing motion targets development in your mid to upper back and can be performed heavy for strength training or light as a controlled, hypertrophy movement.
#3 - Lat PulldownSimilar to the row, the lat pulldown can be performed with different handles and grip width's to target full development in your latissimus dorsi. Building up your latissimus dorsi will give you a wide back and produce that V-tape physique many of us desire.
If you're looking to bring up your back you can't go wrong with these three movements. Pairing rows and pulldowns with your deadlifts will produce a big, evenly trained back.
3 Back to Basics Biceps ExercisesWe all want arms that will fill the sleeves of our shirts and desire bicep peaks that mirror the Rocky Mountains. The need for bigger arms is why some of us won't stop curling until the lights go out in the gym and the owner tells you it's time to leave.
But, you can obtain the arms you want with three basic exercises. These three exercises below will effectively target the long head, short head, and brachialis muscle groups that make up your upper arm.
#1 - Straight bar or EZ bar curlThe standing barbell curl places emphasis on the short head of your bicep and is a great compound movement for developing that inner part of your bicep. With the weight in front of the body this exercise effectively targets the short head to get the blood flowing to your inner bicep.
#2 - Incline bench dumbbell curlBy using an incline bench and holding the dumbbells down, behind the midline of your body, you are activating more emphasis on the long head of your biceps. Performing this exercise slow and controlled will produce development in the outer head to give your biceps a better peak shape.
#3 - Hammer CurlsThe hammer curl can be performed with dumbbells or a rope attachment on a cable machine. While this exercise is going to engage the short head, the hammer curl motion also brings your brachialis into the movement. Strengthening your brachialis is going to allow you to be stronger across your other bicep exercises and assist with building thickness in your arms.
Combing just these three exercises on your arm day of pull day will allow you to shape your biceps into guns you'll be forced to get permits for.
Marc Lobliner presents his 4 favorite triceps building exercises.
3 Back to Basics Triceps ExercisesYour triceps, or triceps bracchii, is made up of three muscles: the lateral head, medial head, and long head. Different triceps movement are going to place more or less emphasis on the particulars heads, which is why you need to effectively train all three to produce those horseshoe-like triceps you desire. With these three basic triceps movements you can be assured you're hitting the muscle group from all angles.
#1 - Close grip benchWith a close grip bench press movement you are taking the emphasis away from your chest and placing it on your triceps. As a compound movement, the close grip bench press will target all three of your triceps muscle groups and add some serious strength and size to your triceps.
#2 - Rope PushdownThe rope pushdown should be a basic staple in anyone's triceps regimen. Engaging mainly the long head and medial heads, the rope pushdown is a great isolation movement to perform with lighter weight to give you those well-defined, bulging triceps.
#3 - Reverse grip pushdownIn order to construct well-rounded, strong, aesthetic triceps, you need to make sure you're training the lateral head. The lateral head makes up the other half of the horseshoe' near the back of your arm. Performing reverse grip pushdowns with a straight bar allows you to target the lateral more effectively than any other exercise.
You don't have to have weak triceps. Use these three exercises and you will be able to build strong, shredded triceps.
Brently Rousset discusses the 3 exercises he used to bring up his shoulders.
3 Back to Basics Shoulders ExercisesYour shoulders are comprised of three main muscle grounds: front deltoid, medial deltoid, and rear deltoid. Most people tend to focus on strictly their front and medial deltoids and forget to train their rear deltoids. By using these three shoulder exercises you can build strong, three-dimensional shoulders.
#1 - Overhead PressA basic, compound movement for shoulder development, the overhead press will target your front and medial delts. If you are looking to build strength in your shoulders this is the one movement you should be doing. This exercise will also help improve your bench press strength by building serious strength in your front delts.
#2 - Dumbbell Side Lateral RaiseA simple, yet effective exercise, the side lateral raise focuses on your medial delts. Your medial delts make up the side profile of your shoulders, so by performing this movement you will build that round, pumpkin look in your shoulders.
#3 - Rear Deltoid FlyThe rear deltoid is one that gets ignored by man. Similar to our back, the rear deltoid is a muscle group you cannot see in the mirror easily. But, if you don't train your rear deltoids with the same intensity as your front and medial deltoids, your shoulder development will produce a pushed-forward, hunched look. By performing the rear deltoid fly movement you will effectively target your rear deltoids and give your shoulders that round, even look.
Your shoulders can make or break your body both strength and physique wise. With these three shoulder exercises you can be assured your shoulders won't fail you during all your lifts and be satisfied with a pair of boulders sitting on top of your upper body.
It's Time to Get Back To Basics and GrowThree effective exercises for each muscle group that make up your upper body is all you need. By combining one compound movement to help build strength with two isolation movements for each body part you can effectively combine strength training with hypertrophy training to make new and serious gains.
Three basic lifts is all you need. These lifts are perfect for the beginner lifter or someone who is tired of their current program and is looking to just get back to the basics.

In a copycat attack reminiscent of Josef Fritzl, a Swedish doctor has been charged with kidnapping, drugging and raping a female hostage in a fortified dungeon-like bunker (pictured) for almost a week.
The 30-year-old woman was reportedly snatched from her home in Stockholm after being drugged with Rohypnol-laced strawberries. The soundproofed rooms prepared by her unnamed assailant were meant to hold his helpless victim while he raped her over and over, it is claimed.
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the woman's attacker used two rubber masks (see below), later found by police, to disguise himself during the subsequent car journey.
The doctor, who has not been named, reportedly intended to keep the victim captive for 'several years' in the purpose-built bunker that it is believed he began constructing more than five years ago.
According to reports in Sweden, the doctor kept the woman locked up for a week before he was caught.
Prosecutors believe he had also taken steps to create an underground dungeon, in which it is feared he would keep the woman locked up – ready for his sexual lust.
A police report said the walls were concrete enforced as 12.5 inches thick.
During the alleged attack, police claim the doctor took blood and intimate samples from the woman and tested them at his workplace for any traces of sexually transmitted diseases.
The incredible scheme was only brought to an end when the doctor went back to the woman's flat to gather some belongings and spotted police in the area.
Friends of the woman had called police, and the doctor reportedly panicked and took her to a police station where he forced her to tell a phony story.
According to police, officers were concerned for the woman's safety and pulled her to one side where she quickly told them about her alleged ordeal at the hands of the doctor.
Chief prosecutor Peter Claeson said: "We believe his intention has been to keep the woman locked up for several years.
"We also suspect him of planning this for years. Among other things, he has built the bunker to bring one or more victims."
The doctor has admitted drugging, kidnapping and holding the woman against her will. He denies rape.

Songpyeon is one of the Korean typical and traditional food for Chuseok.
It is a small half-mooned shaped rice cake stuffed with sweetened sesame seeds, pine nuts or chestnuts.
Japchae [잡채]
This dish is most commonly served at Korean parties and special occasions such as Chuseok, Seolnal(Korean new year's day) and one's birthday.

*Asuna is Badass in the beginning, and a crybaby in the end.
uh... no. She was depressed and bottled up on the inside in the beginning, she stated to let her emotions show when she started to fall in love with Kirito.
*Kirito is too perfect.
Are you kidding me? like Asuna, he cries aaaallll the time. Last time i checked, that wasn't exactly a desirable quality.; Not to mention he's shy (in the beginning.)
* None of the side characters are relevant to Kirito.
Again, wrong. Each character helps kirito's development as a character, and as a player. I need not say more.
*In the second half of the first series, Asuna becomes a damsel in distress,and thats stupid.
All i have to say to that is thats like saying every legend of Zelda game and starwars a new hope are bad. If you think that, why do you even exist?
idk guys. each to their own, but theirs no reason to hate on this great anime.

The treatment of
choice for pruritus associated with cholestasis is the correction of the
underlying disease if possible.1 If definitive therapy is not
possible, several measures can be attempted to relieve the pruritus. In
mild cases of pruritus, nonspecific measures can be used to control the
symptoms such as emollients and warm baths.1,9 However, these
measures often fail in moderate to severe cases of pruritis. One option
for moderate to severe cases are the opioid antagonists such as
intravenous naloxone (0.2 µg/kg per min for 24 hours) or oral naltrexone
(50 mg daily). The use of an opiate antagonist is often associated with
substantial relief of cholestatic pruritus.1,7 In one
controlled, crossover trial of 29 patients, for example, naloxone led to a
27 percent reduction in scratching activity and to a significant reduction
in the perception of pruritus.1
N. Bergasa and associates in 1995 performed a
double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial to determine whether
endogenous opioids contribute to the pruritus of cholestasis by studying
the effect of naloxone on pruritus and scratching activity in 29 pruritic
patients with liver diseases of various causes. Treatments: Each patient
received as many as two naloxone and two placebo solution infusions
consecutively in random order. Each infusion lasted 24 hours. (Placebo: 5%
dextrose/0.45% NaCl. Treatment: Naloxone infusion: 0.2
micrograms/kg/minute – diluted in 5% dextrose/0.45% NaCl ) Measurements:
visual analog scores of pruritus were recorded q4h while patients were
awake, while scratching activity independent of limb movements was
recorded continuously. Results: The mean of a visual analog score of the
perception of pruritus (maximum 10.0) was 0.582 lower with the naloxone
infusions compared to the placebo infusions (95% CI, 0.176 to 0.988; P <
0.01). Conclusion: naloxone administration was associated with an
improvement of the perception of pruritus and reduction of scratching
activity in cholestatic patients.
E. Jones and associates reported in 2002 that
initiating therapy with an oral opiate antagonist such as nalmefene may
precipitate an opioid-withdrawal like reaction in patients with pruritus
due to cholestasis. The withdrawal response is due to the elevated
opioidergic tone found in this condition. These withdrawal reactions can
be minimized, or avoided completely, by infusing low doses of naloxone
before giving small oral doses of an orally bioavailable opiate
antagonist. After carefully titrating the dose of naloxone based on the
patient's response, the infusion can then be stopped and therapy may be
continued with an orally bioavailable opiate antagonist such as
Relevant comments/quotes from the DRUGDEX®
database: A single-blinded study evaluated the impact of a naloxone
infusion on pruritus in female patients (n=8) with chronic pruritus
secondary to primary biliary cirrhosis. Patients received a 24-hour
infusion of a placebo solution and the same solution containing naloxone
0.2 mcg/kg/min (preceded by a 0.4 mg bolus). Six of the patients received
2 placebo and 2 naloxone infusions. A visual analog scale was used to
assess pruritis. Conclusion: Naloxone solutions consistently showed a
decrease in scratching activity ranging from 29% to 96%.6
Several studies have shown a connection between
the increased opiate tone that is seen with cholestasis and the resulting
pruritis. Although opioid antagonists have been found to have a
significant effect on cholestasis-induced itching, the itching usually is
not completely abolished. Also, It is possible that additional non-opioid
mechanisms may be contributing to the pruritus associated with
cholestasis.10 Many references do not recommend opiate
antagonists as first line therapy of pruritis associated with cholestasis
because of the potential for an opiate withdrawal reaction. Features of
this reaction have included anorexia, nausea, colicky abdominal pains,
tremor, insomnia, perspiration, increased blood pressure, decreased pulse,
mood changes and hallucinations.4 The risk of a
withdrawal reaction can be minimized by initiating therapy with a low dose
intravenous infusion of naloxone ~(0.2 µg/kg per min). Treatments should
always be based upon the severity of the pruritus. In mild cholestatic
pruritus, nonspecific measures such as warm baths, emollients and
antihistamines should be considered as first-line therapy.1,9
According to M. Kaplan, therapy for moderate to severe pruritus may
require a diverse array of agents such as: cholestyramine, phenobarbital,
rifampin, and opioid antagonists.1
Other options include plasmapheresis or phototherapy. In any case,
non-specific measures like frequent use of emollients should never be
long-term clinical trials are needed to compare opioid antagonists with
other therapies to clearly establish the role of these agents.10
Combination therapy may also be required, since monotherapy with either
opioid antagonists or other therapies have failed to completely relieve
the pruritus caused by cholestasis. Given the potential for severe
withdrawal reactions, opioid antagonists should be reserved for patients
refractory to other treatments.

Perhaps you've experienced what appears to be one of Life's "laws," which decrees that the good stuff will now and then yield to inconvenient events and circumstances. For example, maybe...
* You lose your job but are still too young to retire; plus, who says you want to, anyway?
* Your life partner plans to dissolve the relationship—or perhaps dies unexpectedly.
* You're dealing with a serious health condition—or have even received a terminal diagnosis.
* An intimate partner or other loved one faces similar circumstances.
* You realize that the days and weeks provide little satisfaction—or possibly even pain.
* You're beginning to feel less valued because of your age.
And so on. Meanwhile, perhaps you're reflecting that, over the years, the needs/wishes of others have tended to edge aside many (or even most) of your own. That sometimes happens when people have kids, significant others, employers, aging parents, etc., and seems to be part of the rhythm of life. But now you hear the Big Clock ticking away the time you have to be, do, or have what you want Yourself.
Ready to get serious about some (or all) of those things? Whatever your needs, issues, or desires and whether or not you're completely clear about those at this moment, there's no time like the present to begin addressing them—one step at a time.
A good first step? Clarifying your goals...your "destination," so to speak, if that remains somewhat fuzzy. What, you weren't expecting a trip? No worries: you're in charge of this one, which could take you to some interesting places both literally and figuratively—or perhaps to the end of a difficult process, which then frees you up for an adventure. (Yes!)
Sometimes even the mere thought of a new direction unlocks possibilities to explore, and thus a new "journey." During that exploration, you may further clarify how you want your life to be—and then begin (or continue) working toward that life. As you do, you may also find yourself taking more pleasure in the one you're living right now…speaking of win-win.
So, ready to take it on? If you answer no, please don't try to tell
yourself that it's because you're too old or it's "too late." (If you let them, those too-late/old boxes can be killers.)
For as long as you're breathing, you can influence your life. You can make changes, particularly to yourself, since that's generally where true change begins. You can also get things working/feeling better for yourself, if you commit yourself to doing so and also to doing whatever it takes to make that happen. (Bearing in mind the old adage about catching more bees with honey...)
Here it is: your game ain't over until You decide
that it's over. And forget about the singing "fat lady," because you're the singer yourself in this gig. That's the good news. The other news is that whatever you need or want to do is going
to be largely up to you. But also remember that you can generally tackle
even complex projects and personal journeys step by step. Remember as well that the smart money's on you, kid.

Hello, This week I will finish up all the electrical lines that work the turn and brake signals and also activate the brakes and also turn on clear lights when in reverse so I can actually see something when I back up at night.
I will be advancing into the ac/dc wiring and note in my trendlines unit the 12v system has positive connections and I am told I need busses to provide the negative wires for these electrical lights etc. I plan to attach the busses through the floor to a drilled and tapped screw into the steel tubular frame. I do know about the grease that helps conduct the elctricity and reduces rusting. I do not know about busses. What are the best busses for the rough abuse of a camper for 4 season camping? For instance I will have about 35 different things to be hooked up. Does that mean I need a total of 35 busses in some type of manifold arrangement? Thanks to good fortune I have plenty of wire. I will be having tv, microwave, refrigerator etc. This might wander into the stupid category. if a light is wired to be 120v, would it work if it is attached to a 12 v system?
Thank you in advance,
Gene So

The scholars at RES continue to impress me. This weeks Purple Paw Award goes to three 4th grade girls for their project on the 5 food groups. It was great to see how much information that they retained from last year. One of the girls is from Mrs Erickson's class and the other two are from Mrs. Senning's class. I thought that the quality and content of their work was fantastic. Seeing the effort that these girls put into this project made me feel very proud to be their teacher.
Keep up the good work girls!!!

APRIL 28th ○ COLONY THEATER ○ MIAMI, FL
Event description:
THE VETERAN FILM AWARDS is how South Florida shows it's veterans we care! Taking place at the historic Colony Theater on Lincoln Road (South Beach), this gala affair showcased and highlights amazing films created by and inspired by military veterans. Red Carpet reception begins at 6pm.
Keynote speaker: General Bernard "Burn" Loeffke.
About the VFA's:
It is well documented that art is excellent therapy. Institutions such as Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, and various VA institutions across the country have successfully demonstrated the importance of creative and expressive therapies as part of treatment plans for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
The Veteran Film Awards was founded by award-winning filmmaker and Army Veteran Bryan Thompson, as an extension of the 4-year running Miami Web Fest. Thompson discovered film as a post-deployment outlet of expression. The event is designed to highlight and recognize the veteran experience and to support veterans who have the passion and skill to create amazing visual works of art, thus continuing their outstanding contributions to society in a vibrant way! We thank you in advance for supporting this event.
If you are unable to attend but wish to make a donation, please click on the DONATE button.
Proceeds go towards event operating costs and prize money for veteran filmmakers.

As an SME we know the real meaning of 'value for money' and in a competitive market recycling and cutting energy consumption are second nature to us.We offer a range of practical, ergonomic solutions for computer users in the office, at home and on the move and with award-winning workstation assessment software and an on-site assessment service we help organisations, large and small, to attain compliance with DSE regulations and promote healthy computing practices.Our on-line shop, www.laptopstands.co.uk, was born of research we carried out into the ergonomics of laptop use and soon it became the definitive source for accessories related to mobile computing. Our portfolio has expanded since then to include height-adjustable desks, desktop risers, compact keyboards, laptop bags and many other ergonomic desktop products.
A compact and adjustable riser suitable for either Tablets or Notebooks up to 12". Inclining and elevating the screen makes these devices more comfortable to use when typing and protects against neck strain. An external keyboard and mouse should be used to complete the ergonomic set-up for a laptop. The fold-flat design means this riser can be easily stored in a laptop case or desk drawer when not in use.

Bring the cost and the dimensions of unmanned naval systems, increase the scope of their autonomous operation, and bring down to the bare minimum the number of human operators. This is the formula defense establishment officials, naval officers, academicians and defense company executives all seem to agree on, when it comes to the future of unmanned marine vessels. This prevailing opinion was recently voiced at the annual conference on marine robotics, held under the auspices of Haifa University's Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences and the Israeli chapter of AUVSI, the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems.
Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) and Unmanned Underwater Vessels (UUVs) have been around not only in Israel but also worldwide for quite some time now, engaged in many and varied missions from ongoing security to securing oil and gas reservoirs and much more. Unmanned marine vessels already account for a large and growing share of planning in the framework of design, development and production by defense contractors. All the lecturers at the conference referred to the variety of missions unmanned naval vessels carry out, and discussed their myriad military, security, HLS and civilian applications.
Major General (res) Prof. Itzhak Ben Israel, former head of Israel's Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure (Hebrew acronym: MAFAT): "unmanned vessels are designed to minimize risks, save on human lives and gather intelligence. The world's first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was Noah's pigeon, sent forth from the ark. This pigeon gathered intelligence and returned to base safely."
Colonel Yaron Ben Simon, head of vessels division at the Israeli Navy: "Both USVs and UUVs take part in the underwater warfare against submarines, in surface warfare, in securing ports and shores, in intelligence gathering missions, in mine sweeping and special ops."
Dr. Morel Gruper of Haifa University: "autonomous unmanned submarines will be put into action in order to monitor natural phenomena such as hurricanes, oil spillages in bays and harbors, working in oil and gas fields, underwater surveys, mine sweeping, SIGINT (Signals Intelligence), EW (Electronic Warfare), anti-submarine warfare, stealth deployment of various charges, and also marine archeology, marine biology and so on."
Eyal Shahrabani, IAI: "USVs will carry out search and destroy missions in rough seas and will become an integral part of the cooperation between manned and unmanned systems."
Dr. Noam Brook, RAFAEL: "USVs have both military and paramilitary applications, such as opening up routes for civilian shipping and navy vessels, counter mining operations, ongoing security, counter terror and search and rescue missions."
Ofer Ben Dov, Elbit Systems: "Nowadays, you do not go to war without unmanned aerial systems, and this will also be the case with USVs, which will fight against enemy submarines, trace underwater mines, as well as protect shores and oil and gas fields."

As indicated in Dr. Don Paterson's systematic review relating to Canada's Physical Activity Guidelines for Older Adults, exercise interventions (comprised of aerobics and strength training) in older adults can maintain or improve functional abilities.
Less is known about the role of flexibility in the maintenance or improvement of functional abilities. While joint flexibility may decrease with age – and this has the potential to affect normal daily function – there currently does not exist a synthesis of the literature to support the recommendation of the inclusion of a flexibility component to older adult exercise programs.
In younger populations, there is a debate regarding stretching exercises which are regularly recommended and conducted as a part of warm-up protocols. While stretching during warm-up is thought to prevent injury and increase performance, there is little sound empirical evidence to support the utility of this outside of a rehabilitative context.
Rob Little (UWO kinesiology student and research assistant) conducted a systematic review in this area in collaboration with Drs. Don Paterson, Tony Vandervoort, and Liza Stathokostas. The preliminary results were presented by Rob in June at the American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting held in Denver, Colorado. The presentation entitled "Flexibility Training Interventions and Functional Outcomes in Aging: A Systematic Review" sought to systematically review the literature assessing the flexibility specific training interventions on functional outcomes in older adults.
The review found that flexibility training interventions in older adults are often effective at increasing joint range of motion in various joints, and various functional outcomes can be improved. However, due to the wide range of intervention protocols, body parts studied, and functional measurements, conclusive recommendations regarding flexibility training for older adults remain ungrounded. As such, a specific prescription of how long to hold a stretch, how many repetitions of each stretch to conduct, and the type of stretches to do, are not yet available.
Because there is conflicting information regarding both the relationship between flexibility training interventions and functional outcomes, and the relationship between improved flexibility and daily functioning, future research studies should attempt to address these issues in order to facilitate the fitness of older adults. The systematic review is set to be submitted for publication early this Summer.
The need for flexibility-specific exercises for older adults as a part of their physical activity and exercise routine is questionable; the positive health benefits are not established, however there is also not the evidence to discontinue stretching exercise. Perhaps the best advice is to perform stretching routines in the post-exercise cool-down if you like, but remember that it is the aerobic exercise and strength routines that maintain health and function into older age.
