Frugal Tips: Best Warm Compress Ever!
Parents magazine said that a disposable diaper could be used as a breast compress for engorgement, because it stays hot for a long time (when filled with warm water).
Think about that - a peed-in diaper is 98.6 degrees F, and stays that way!
Well, the nurse at the hospital soaked a disposable diaper, and heated it up in the microwave to use as a warm compress to heat up Christopher's foot, before she did a heel prick.
I wondered why it didn't cool off right away - she had to keep doing the prick over and over, because his blood wasn't flowing well.
Labour and delivery nurse approved!
Thanks to Cathy for this Frugal Baby Tip!

THE FEDERAL Reserve has cut the interest rate to its lowest level since the mid-1970s. But bank examiners, who were asleep at the switch during the speculative orgy of the 1980s, are now overcompensating with a belated and ill-timed determination to fly by the book. This has happened before.
The year was 1937. After sputtering toward prosperity, the economy had sunk back into depression. Marriner Eccles,President Roosevelt's Federal Reserve chairman, was trying to make bank credit plentiful, in the hope that easier money would ignite a recovery.
But the bank examiners at the Treasury's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation were undercutting Eccles' efforts -- by the way they rated bank loans.

The "We Love Manchester Emergency Fund", backed by Manchester's Lord Mayor and set up in partnership with the British Red Cross, was established after Monday's suicide bombing at the end of an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena.
Another 64 people were injured, many of them critically.
"The Red and Blue halves of Manchester have combined to support the city they have each called home for more than 120 years and which has been profoundly affected by the tragic events witnessed on Monday," United and City said in a joint statement.The fund had reached £2m by Wednesday and the donation from City and United increases that total to beyond £3m.

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is a dual-function, medically designed weight loss procedure. Unlike so many diets and weight loss programs, Ideal Protein helps guide patients through the weight loss journey, while also educating them on healthy lifestyle habits to ensure that they can sustain their results.
For more than two decades, Ideal Protein has changed thousands of people, helping them experience healthy weight loss as well as embrace a higher quality of life. Now you can transform your health with Ideal Protein and the experts at San Antonio Gastroenterology Associates.
How will Ideal Protein help me lose weight?
Ideal Protein works by training the body to burn fat reserves. This is achieved through eliminating simple and complex carbohydrates from the diet during the weight loss phase.
Simple and complex carbohydrates can prevent weight loss. The body stores approximately three days' worth of carbohydrates for fuel. Therefore, the Ideal Protein protocol restricts sugars and starches (simple and complex carbs) until you have achieved your weight loss goal.
To maintain nutritional balance throughout the program, the Ideal Protein protocol is accompanied by supplements that contain key ingredients for optimal health, including omega-3 fatty acids, electrolytes, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
Eliminating Sugar
Eliminating sugar and starches from your diet ensures that your body more favorably burns fat and you lose weight. The core principle of the Ideal Protein Protocol is to deplete glycogen (carbohydrate) reserves completely and promote fat loss.
What should I expect from Ideal Protein?
With Ideal Protein, you should expect to:
- Lose weight while sustaining lean muscle mass
- Learn how food is utilized by the body and how your food choices affect fat storage
- Get weekly one-on-one coaching, lifestyle education, as well as guidance
- Discover a personalized approach to setting weight loss goals
- Understand how losing weight can improve blood sugar, cholesterol levels, and reduce blood pressure
How do I get started with Ideal Protein?
Ideal Protein is available to anyone interested in a medically-supervised weight loss plan. You do not have to be a SAGA patient in order to join the program.
How do I track my progress?
Weigh-ins happen once a week with a nutrition consultant. The consultant will help you set your diet plan. Food costs vary based on selection each week and you may need to purchase additional supplements based on your weight loss goals.
How much does it cost?
The initial cost of the Ideal Protein program is $377. This includes your first consultation, a starter gift bag, your first week of food, and two months' worth of supplements. You will also receive the specialized Ideal Protein salt and an Ideal Protein shaker.
You can save $25.00 off the initial cost by attending one of SAGA's Ideal Protein educational workshops. Or save even more when you bring a friend to the workshop with you, and both sign up. Friends make everything better! Plus, you can both join for just $300.00* each!
To get started or learn more about Ideal Protein, contact the SAGA Ideal Protein consultant at 210-242-0014 or click below.

"The more research I do, the less psychiatry I know."
Dr. M David Kurland received these wise words from David Shaffer, director of child psychiatry at Columbia (and excellent researcher):
True research is a demanding taskmaster. The genuine stuff requires rigorous fidelity to the highly focused testing of a narrowly defined hypothesis. Great effort is expended on some very limited question while most psychiatry lies neglected.
Dr. Kurland published and presented three of these projects in his career. Most of his work with data and analysis, in contrast, has taken the form of surveys and studies of broader issues more relevant to his clinical work with children and families. One, for example, was a study of which children get placed outside the home and which do not. Studies yield suggested answers to meaningful questions but lack enough focus and rigor to prove anything. They have been meaningful to some. To others, they have not been rigorous enough to prove anything.
Dr. M David Kurland has made the following observations through his research…
- Children are admitted to residential placements, not because of mental illness, antisocial behavior, or parental failure alone, but because two or three of these factors are present together.
- Residentially placed children are assuredly more disturbed than children seen in an outpatient clinic.
- The SF36 scale, which is widely used as a measure of the severity of emotionall/behavioral conditions, is a good measure of depression, which manifests as distress, but poorly picks up alcoholism, which manifests as a disorder of function and behavior.
- The command hallucinations, which appear in a number of severely traumatized children, respond well to antipsychotic medications.
- The parents of children who are admitted to an emergency service are markedly more disturbed than average parents.
The psychiatrist who engages in research and investigative studies disciplines himself to know what it is he really knows, what he doesn't know, and to know the difference. After all, the child psychiatrist has few tests, laboratory or otherwise, on which to base his judgments and decisions. The child and parents then rely on his judgment, perceptiveness, and mind. He must develop and improve his abilities to understand, analyze, and decide as he evaluates and treats. For this, the psychiatrist who's done research has a decided advantage. A record of research and studies should positively recommend a psychiatrist.

Hood Museum of Art
Mailing Address:
Hood Museum of Art
Dartmouth College
6 East Wheelock Street
Hanover, New Hampshire 03755
Visit us at Hood Downtown located at 53 Main Street, Hanover, NH.
We are expanding! Check out our programming while the museum is closed.
This exhibition explores the Hood Museum of Art's extraordinary collection of African weapons for the first time. It focuses on the aesthetic quality of the objects, and on the ways in which they reflect notions of masculinity, warriorhood, and ideal male beauty in traditional African societies. Because the weapons are in a Western museum's collection, the exhibition also considers Western notions of masculinity, as represented in the collecting practices of those Christian missionaries, colonial administrators, military officers, big game hunters, and explorers who acquired most of these weapons in the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries. Although the exhibition draws from several cultures in the five sub-regions of Africa, it is not a broad survey of African weapons. Instead, it presents exemplary highlights from the Hood's extensive collection, categorized as "offensive" and "defensive" weapons.
The works of art in this exhibition, arranged in pairs, offer contrasting positions by artists on a variety of themes: men and women, the family, war and human suffering, landscapes and seascapes, images of others and of the self. Each pair is accompanied by a single question intended to provoke further questions about the artists' individual approaches to their subjects: From what points of view (literal, emotional, intellectual) does the artist look at his/her subject? Is the artist's stance celebratory? honorific? critical? a form of protest? In what ways does the artist communicate this to the beholder? Art history professors Joy Kenseth and Mary Coffey curated this exhibition in conjunction with their course Introduction to the History of Art II, a survey of art and architecture from 1500 to the present.
Successive African art curators at the Hood Museum of Art have assembled an extraordinary and holistic vision of the arts of Africa that encompasses both important historical milestones and the multiple cultural and social vistas of this continent. Acquired over the past two years and on view together for the first time, these thirty-one exceptional objects map the contour of modern and contemporary African art from the 1960s to the present while also shedding critical light on the diversity of African artistic practices by multiple generations of artists. The installation includes an exciting array of paintings, photographs, sculptures, drawings, ceramic, and mixed media, including works by Ibrahim El Salahi, Lamidi Fakeye, Akin Fakeye, Owusu-Ankomah, Victor Ekpuk, Chike Obeagu, Candice Breitz, Nomusa Makhubu, Julien Sinzogan, Aida Muluneh, Halida Boughriet, Mario Macilau, Eric van Hove, Khulumeleni Magwaza, and Nidhal Chamekh.
Vermont-based artist Eric Aho's series of Ice Cuts paintings is inspired by the hole cut in the ice in front of a Finnish sauna, an aspect of Finnish culture that Aho's family has maintained to this day. Intended for an icy immersion following the heat of the sauna, the avanto, as it is called in Finnish, underscores and personalizes the inherent contrasts in nature. Aho began the Ice Cuts series nine years ago, making one painting a year of the dark void produced by the act of sawing into the thick ice. This exhibition is the first to concentrate on the Ice Cuts paintings he has created to date. The central abstract form in these compositions provides the structure for experimentation with paint texture, surface, and subtly nuanced color, lending these frozen scenes both an austere beauty and a particular vibrancy. This exhibition brings together the major paintings in the series to date and smaller, related works on paper to offer unique insight into the artistic process.
This exhibition features paintings by both American and Indigenous Australian artists and reveals the strength of the Hood's contemporary holdings, including a selection of recent acquisitions with new work by Pat Steir, Colleen Randall, and Brenda Garand.
Concinnitas is a Latin term that connotes an elegant, skillful joining of elements. It was used by Renaissance scholar, artist, and architect Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) to describe the beauty found in the confluence of perfect uses of number, position, and outline. The Concinnitas project was a two-year collaborative venture between Parasol Press and Daniel Rockmore, professor of mathematics and computer science at Dartmouth. In 2012, Parasol commissioned ten mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists—including two Nobel Laureates and five Fields Medalists—to create etchings of the mathematical expression most meaningful to them. These formulae were then printed by the fine-art print shop Harlan and Weaver as aquatints, evoking the look of equations quickly and elegantly sketched in white chalk on a blackboard.
In the spring of 2015, just days after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake shook Gorkha District and surrounding areas in Nepal, photojournalist James Nachtwey '70 documented the immediate aftermath among these devastated communities, both in urban centers and in mountain villages only accessible by helicopter. Six weeks later, photographer Kevin Bubriski arrived in Kathmandu and captured the rebuilding of a city and the resilience of its people. A few of those images by each photographer are on view in this exhibition.
The Hood Museum of Art's striking installation of thirty prints, drawings, and ceramics from the recently donated Stahl collection presents a wonderful opportunity to learn from art objects chosen by passionate, discerning collectors. Assembled over a period of sixty years, these highlights include bold, socially critical German Expressionist prints by Max Beckmann, Ludwig Meidner, and Emil Nolde, complemented by early twentieth-century American works on paper in a social realist mode. A cornerstone of the Stahl collection, assembled over decades, is Georges Rouault's poignant series of eight aquatints titled The Circus (Le Cirque), 1930. The installation also features late twentieth-century works by New Hampshire artists, including James Aponovich and pioneering ceramicists Gerry Williams and Edwin and Mary Scheier. These highlights are drawn from the 118 works donated by Susan E. Hardy, Nancy R. Wilsker, Sarah A. Stahl, and John S. Stahl, the children of the original collectors, the late Barbara J. and David G. Stahl, Dartmouth Class of 1947. The high quality of the works, combined with their strong thematic links to a wide range of academic fields, makes these new acquisitions... read more
The majority of artists in this installation represent a generation of Inuit from the arctic and subarctic regions of Canada who lived fully "on the land." Several changes occurred during the mid-twentieth century that pressured the Inuit to change their traditional life ways by moving into settlements. Although the Inuit had been trading works they made out of a variety of materials since the time of contact, new visitors encouraged them to use their knowledge and skills to create work—in stone, fabric, drawings, and on paper—that would be oriented for a non-Inuit art market.
The majority of works in this installation were made by the first generation of Inuit artists to exhibit and sell their work to new markets in the south through art dealers and cooperatives. The objects they produced are remarkable works of art, widely sought after by collectors, and now in the collections of major museums all over the world. Most importantly, the production of this work created a vehicle for preserving cultural knowledge and sustaining tradition while innovating and creating new forms of expression.
This exhibition features the collection of Trevor Fairbrother, an independent curator, and John T. Kirk, a scholar of early American decorative arts, who have donated important works in their collection to the museum. Emphasizing the Hood's teaching mission, this exhibition is thematically organized and each section displays one work from the museum's collection alongside those of the donors. These themes include Histories, Wonders, Goods, Marks, Geometries, Males, and Surfaces. The exhibition will showcase paintings, drawings, and sculpture alongside early American furniture and include works by Carl Andre, Richard Artschwager, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joseph Beuys, Marsden Hartley, Mike Kelley, Sol Lewitt, Glenn Ligon, Catherine Opie, Elizabeth Peyton, John Singer Sargent, Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, Robert Wilson, and many others.

Pierre Benignus
Pierre Benignus was a missionary and facilitator of Christian-Muslim relationships in Africa. Born of missionary parents in the French colony of New Caledonia and educated in theology and missiology in his native France, Benignus was ordained into the ministry of the Reformed Church (1937). With his wife, Marianne (Hoepffner), he spent two years prior to the outbreak of World War II as a missionary in New Caledonia. After the war and a brief pastorate in Strasbourg, a second missionary posting took him to Africa, first to Madagascar (1948-1950) and then to Senegal, where he was appointed general secretary of missions of the Protestant churches of West Africa (1951). During the political turmoil of French decolonization, he helped pioneer a new relationship of friendship between Christians and Muslims in the common task of nation building. He was recalled to Paris as secretary for missionary and ecumenical relationships in the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society, and his experience in the Christian-Muslim relations inspired the foundation of the Islam in Africa Project (1960), of which he became the first general secretary. He traveled extensively in Africa, consulting with Christian leaders to assist churches in building new relationships with Muslim neighbors based on mutual understanding, trust and social cooperation. As delegate to the 1961 New Delhi general assembly of the World Council of Churches, he contributed to the emergence of interfaith dialogue as an integral part of the mission of the world church. Though he died prematurely in a tragic plane accident in Cameroon, his leadership of the Islam in Africa Project laid the foundations of what continues as the Project for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa.

Energy Shift Update: Transformational Mindset!
Welcome to Who's Energy Field is it anyway? Okay, for those of you who have not met me, I have a dry sense of humor and find it comes in quite handy when dealing with the not so happy energy shifts (big smile!). Right now there is a huge surge of energy that is designed to strengthen feelings of true inner self purpose and value, and to dump the past history of self doubt programming. It is time to embrace your purpose and dispose of what other people think of you.
Think about all the input over the years being told what to think, who you were suppose to be, and what you had to do to fit in, or what you couldn't do. How many times were your ideas questioned, or your self esteem squashed because it was not your turn to do this or that, or you were told that you would never make it?
If you have noticed an urge to feel more freedom in your life, a desire to wield more financial power, and a sense of urgency to gain more control of your life ~ welcome to tranformational mindset!
As you attempt to gain more insight and flow this new influx of energy, you may begin to notice that you feel the presents of people from your past lingering in your mind or your thought patterns. What is happening is an unwinding of past negative programming energy. There is some part of you that is still trying to hang on to it because it it familiar and somewhat safe as it is what you have been use to. Stepping into a new sense of self being can be somewhat scary because it is unfamiliar.
This dynamic energy shift, once fully embraced, will support you in removing your own self-imposed obstacles. You will begin, if you have not already, to release resentments and judgments (on yourself and others). When this happens you begin to own your energy field and rid yourself of the imposing energy that others placed on you. Be gentle with yourself as you shift and transform your mindset.
Are you ready to transform your mindset, but not sure how to get started? If you are interested in finding out more visit https://toolsofenergyprotection.com/personal-energy-management-system/ for more details. To connect with me personally click here.
It is time to let your light shine!
- Are you ready to invest in yourself, become more spiritual, seek the truth, be of service, and have an incredibly high quality of life?
These 3 Keys To Embracing Your Intuitive Abilities!
Each week more and more people are feeling the urge to enhance their intuitive abilities and have been asking me how to take the first step with confidence that they are connecting with SPIRIT and the Light.
Over the last 10 years I have spent many of my working hours focusing on intention and accuracy in working with SPIRIT. When I first started, my biggest fear was, "Am I tapping into some being or entity that will appear as an Angel of Light, lead me astray, and then just pop out and say: 'psych! I am of the darkness'." Yes, that seriously was my biggest fear. So I spent countless hours researching the Canonized Version of the Bible with a concordance in one hand and various commentaries in the other.
Now, I am ready to share THREE KEYS that will make it easier for you to embrace your own intuitive abilities, walk forward with inner confidence, and experience greater inner peace with your God / SPIRIT given talents.
Key#1 The Gifts of the Spirit are listed in 1 Corinthians 12:7. I was surprised the first time I found the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, healing, faith, working of miracles, discerning of spirits, and more listed in the text. I had been led to believe that my spiritual gifts and abilities were wrong, that I needed to repent, and these abilities were to be suppressed all together. Yet, there they were clearly written in biblical text. So key #1 is to know that your gifts are God / SPIRIT given and can be developed in a space of love and in peaceful partnership with God / SPIRIT.
Key#2 The Fruits of the Spirit. I am often asked how do I "know" that my work is of God / SPIRIT? What I have found is that when I am working with a lower vibration such as fear, self-doubt, or anxiety that I tend to create more of the same. I find that if I am frustrated in a given day, I will create more frustration through my thoughts, deeds, and actions. So when I am more fully connected with SPIRIT / God I tend to feel more at peace, at ease, and have a greater sense that things will work out through awareness and diligence. In Galatians 5:22 is states: "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, and faith." Key #2 is knowing that your work first comes from within yourself, and your relationship with SPIRIT / God. When you see fruits within yourself, you know that you are on the higher vibrational track.
Key#3 Let your light shine: Matthew 5:16. SPIRIT / God has given you talents and gifts to be of service to others. I encourage you to find your path and embrace your gifts. Being intuitive does not mean that you take on the energy of others, it means that you are intentional, focused, and disciplined in developing the gifts that you have been given. In doing so you will become the light that you were meant to be. It will be your light that lifts the hearts of those around you, gives them peace, and encourages them along their own path. Key#3 is to let your light shine, instead of taking on the energy of others, be aware of their energy, and allow your inner light to warm their hearts.
If you are just getting started on your path, or feel like you are taking on other people's energy, I encourage you to get started right away with Quick Start to Energy Protection for Highly Sensitive People and Spiritually Gifted People.
PS If you are ready to get started right away and can't wait to learn how to hone your spiritual abilities, shield yourself from other people's energy, and increase your self esteem ~ take a look at the Basic Level Spiritual Response Therapy Class being offered in Loveland, CO on June 19 through the 21st.

Clearing and Shielding Your Energy as a Sensitive Person
Whoo -hoo! Is is summer and a great time to be out and about, vacations, events, and outdoor cookouts with family and friends!
If you are anything like me you have readied yourself with sunblock, a big summer hat, and stocked up plenty of hydrating drinks.
BUT as a Highly Sensitive Person, or Spiritually Gifted person, you know that there is no question that a powerful, efficient, and proven tool to protect and shield your energy during an event with a lot of people is paramount!
I spent four years touring at summer events up and down the front range of Colorado, clearing energies and transforming people's lives in all kinds of weather for hours at a time, and believe me it was a challenge to keep my shields up and the Divine loving energy flowing all day!
I quickly learned how to flow powerful divine love and sustain it throughout the day! It was not easy, and after much trial and error, I found a quick and easy way to enhance my shields, and used a few crystals along the way to help me balance and maintain my shields during public events. Now it is time for me to share with you how to create powerful energy shields!
Together we will discover:
* crystals to transmute, protect, and magnify your shields
* keys to flowing Divine love for effortless shielding
* increase your awareness of how to maintain your shield
* upgrade your ability to balance and ground
*enhance your connection with the Divine
*clear your energy field to get you jump started!
Here are what others are saying:
" She taught me how to connect with spirit and ask questions properly. . . If you want to learn about your own skills and connection with spirit definitely give Deanna a call." Maryanne Z ~Wheat Ridge CO

It seems the developers of "Path of Exile" are now trudging off the beaten path, as its newest content material update are going to buy Path of Exile Items be a rework towards the present endgame on the free-to-play isometric action roleplaying game (aRPG).
The new update, titled "War for the Atlas," is now underway from developer Grinding Gear Games (GGG) and is set to be released on Dec. 8. The update is anticipated to become around 1.3 gigabytes (GB) of data. This could imply the content might have been pre-loaded in to the game already but is just locked. The newest update containing "War for the Atlas" expansion will also come with a brand new challenge league within the game named Abyss.
"War for the Atlas" are going to be focusing largely around the endgame content, the phase at which players practical experience diminishing returns and hit a plateau of progression in-game. Chris Wilson, chief developer at GGG has expressed that this rework for the endgame is going to be in stark contrast for the storyline update they introduced inside the "Fall of Oriath" expansion.
"With the Fall of Oriath we focused squarely around the storyline, providing only minor improvements to the endgame. Now we're going all in around the endgame," stated Wilson. With "War for the Atlas" players might be treated to an extra 32 new maps, a new Atlas layout, plus a new endgame boss named "The Elder."
Elder will apparently be at war with the Shaper, the original endgame boss for the Atlas. Now that the two are locked within a perpetual conflict, it is going to up to the players to determine who will win, and they are going to do it all the although getting Path of Exile Items rewarded handsomely.
Meanwhile, the new challenge league will introduce a mechanic related towards the earlier "Breach" league, which includes players following ground fissures that spawn otherworldly enemies. The league also comes with 40 new challenges, which players ought to complete. Rewards await those that reach a specific challenge threshold. Like previous leagues, this will likely require a brand new character either in standard mode or hardcore mode.

Determing the best results stock options shelling out technique needs time, hard work and several study. However for those happy to result in the commitment, there might be substantial returns. 1 strategy employed by these buying investment problems working on the dividend. Offered the current erratic currency markets, purchasing businesses that generate a high dividend may well in the beginning look like a sound trading strategy, but you will find possible traps for people who get carried away because special industry.
Just what Results?
Essentially, each time a business makes cash, it's going to at times provide a talk about of their earnings returning to their owners by using income returns. Somebody who does dividend investment shelling out can even be handed a write about of this income with regards to residual income. That is, month after month the organization makes income and provide time for pet owners. In the event the method followed accurately, this is usually a great source of retirement life cash and you will probably even click the goldmine and turn into loaded, but individuals that do are often quite few.
For those who would like to get into dividend stock options investing, the normal system is to learn nokia's that have an recognized reputation of making payment on the largest results total over a duration of time. This would seem uncomplicated on top, but getting this kind of information mill only a few so simple. Additionally, there could possibly be some other why the organization has these kinds of great payouts that don't make for superior assets.
One particular good case in point why businesses may want to pay off large benefits is that buyers may wish to prevent the inventory stocks and shares, which means they feel the company is in really serious trouble. And several times, there're right.
Some basic points of things to consider when results inventory trading commences with studying the results pay out rate you wouldn't want so that it is much earlier mentioned 60Per-cent, which implies the business is preserving an abundance, possibly for long run enlargement which can slice the results income significantly.
You may want to buy a company who has excellent the prices electric power the cabability to increase costs to aid offset most likely high blowing up charges which will draw gains from rewards. Also, you might want to seek out debts to money ratio of below 50%, meaning almost every money of net worth, the firm incorporates a greenback or significantly less in financial trouble. Lastly, to have some supplemental safeguard if the dividend is trim, you should purchase stocks and options which may have a gPerelectronic relative amount of 15 or a lesser amount of. This increased security come in practical when the surprising occurs.
The key risk with committing to results futures is the same as with assets to all stocks and shares. Trading markets could lock up. And it may possibly take a long time in advance of your results stock options is back on the price level the place you bought.
By using good practices, you will find superior income to make in case you can know the appropriate results share shelling out tactics and mix all of them with a wide starting of some other sort of cash and shares which will present solid benefit with no the danger of getting all of their funds in a person gift basket.

India hopes for peace in NepalMay 6th, 2009 - 2:57 pm ICT by ANI
Jangipur (West Bengal), May 6 (ANI): Terming Nepal's ongoing crisis as its internal matter, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee has said that broadest possible political consensus could help Nepal's democratic transition.
Talking to reporters during his poll campaign in Murshidabad district, Mukherjee hoped the crisis would end soon.
"We hope that the present crisis is resolved in a manner, which contributes to the early conclusion of the peace process," he added.
Meanwhile in Delhi, Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma has said that India has not interfered in the internal affairs of Nepal.
Sharma also hoped that the process of democratic transition would be taken to a logical conclusion and also peace-building efforts will continue in Nepal.
"India has not interfered and has no intention of interfering in Nepal's internal affairs. I may say that it was the internal Conesus or the understanding of the political parties of Nepal which has unfortunately broken down and we hope that the process of democratic transition, would be taken to a logical conclusion," he added.
Nepal was roiled in crisis after Prime Minister Prachanda resigned on Monday over his decision to sack Army Chief Rookmangud Katawal was vetoed by President Ram Baran Yadav.
Relations between the army and the government were strained earlier this year when the military resisted integrating the former guerrillas, saying they are politically indoctrinated.
Prachanda argued that the integration of the rebels was stipulated by the peace agreement.
Prachanda's Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist won elections last year after ending a 10-year insurgency under a 2006 accord.
The first act of the newly elected parliament last year was to abolish the 240-year-old monarchy
Prachanda's resignation leaves the country without a functioning government and will delay the process of drafting a Constitution for the nascent republic. (ANI)

What's that, you say? Sun? After breaking rainfall records in September, as well as being forced to cancel Fun on Foster, the parting of the clouds almost seems like a mean joke from the weather gods. And now, after summer ended abruptly with rain, wind, rain, and then a typhoon, the sun comes back as a reminder of what fall can be like in Portland. Don't look beyond this weekend, though…hint, it doesn't last.
Here are your weekend tidbits…
– We know fall can be nice in Portland, but after the cancellation of Fun on Foster last weekend, should the event be moved to the beginning of September or in August for the coming years? Not that Fun on Foster is the be-all and end-all of summer happenings, but it's uniquely ours….why not preserve it and give it the best chance to thrive?
– Get your dose of punk/folk/metal/rock, as Piggy, The Misery Men, Studfinder, and AC Love Ring take on O'Malley's this Saturday night.
– We know this has been played out over and over…but what are your thoughts on a "road diet?" As we know, it's become a likely option for Foster, in which a new streetscape plan could add bike lanes and better pedestrian conditions by reducing four lanes of traffic to three (one in each direction, with a middle turn lane). For reference, Division just had a similar reconfiguration between SE 62nd and 80th. If you've driven it, turned on to it, or biked it, we'd like to get your opinions. The Portland Tribune just ran an article indicating mixed reviews, so we're curious what you thought about the potential for a road diet on Foster.
– Wednesday night movies at Bar Carlo for the rest of October:
10/9, The Wolf Man; 10/16, The Creature from the Black Lagoon; 10/23, The Mummy; 10/30, Dracula.
– Music this weekend (that we know of):
Friday- Craig Irby at Torta
Saturday- Piggy et al at O'Malley's, the 78 Griots at Starday, and Elliot Ross at Torta
Let us know what we missed. Be cool, Foster.

Location and Information
The Posner Hall Dormitory was built in 1954 with renovations occurring regularly, resulting in a well maintained facility. It houses our Medical School professional students and our PHPD and Sackler School graduate students in a 94-room building located at 200 Harrison Avenue, Boston. The dormitory is located on Tufts University's Health Sciences Campus where most classes are held and is next to Tufts Medical Center.
View a slideshow of the Posner Hall Dormitory.
The rooms (a typical example is shown in the photo on the right) are located on the first through fourth floors of the building and each floor houses students from various degree programs and class years. The floors are co-ed and the overall atmosphere of the dorm is similar to what you would find in a "quiet study" affinity group. (Residents are graduate and professional students with full-time course loads who will often use the dorm as a place to study.)
The rooms are single occupancy measuring 11 X 13.5 feet with one window and two closets. All rooms are furnished with a newly installed air conditioner, twin bed, dresser, desk and chair with a bookshelf. Floors have been updated in the common kitchens and bathrooms (separate facilities for men & women). Rooms are equipped with telephone and TV jacks and the resident must contact the service companies to activate. Additionally, there is a common lounge with a study area on the second floor and an exercise room and a laundry room in the basement. Additional information about Posner Hall is available here. Our Facilities staff maintains the dormitory on a daily basis.
Move-In Dates and Lease Terms
The standard move-in dates for the 2017-2018 academic year are Saturday, August 4th and Sunday, August 5th, 2018. Lease terms are early August until the end of May. We lease for the entire academic year and student are billed in two equal rent payments at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Any resident who chooses to leave the dormitory earlier than the lease-end date will not be eligible for a refund (see Housing License Agreement section below).
We accept summer lease contracts from students who wish to continue residing in the dormitory during June and/or July based on availability. Summer leases will only be accepted for a full month term.
Upperclassmen are welcome to stay or join the dormitory and can contact the Office of Student Affairs with any questions.
The cost for the 2018-2019 academic year (early August to end of May) is $10,640.00.
Housing License Agreement
A signed Housing License Agreement must be submitted with a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit in order to secure a dorm room. Room assignments for next year will begin in late spring with Housing Agreements received by April 15th given priority. After April 15th, rooms will be granted based on remaining availability. Students are responsible for all room charges once a Housing Agreement has been submitted. Housing Agreements will only be cancelled in the situation that the dorm is full and a replacement resident is found for the entire term of the contract. (Replacement residents must be Medical/PHPD/Sackler School students approved by the Office of Student Affairs.) A cancelled contract will release a student from future housing charges but DOES NOT result in a refund of deposits or of charges already incurred.
Note: By signing and submitting a Housing License Agreement, the student is agreeing to the requirements listed, including being responsible for housing payments for the full year. You should only submit your Housing Agreement AFTER you have made a final decision to live in the dormitory.
A completed agreement and deposit check made out to "Trustees of Tufts College" should be returned to:

Actor Seth Macfarlane played host on Saturday (13Dec14) when stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlize Theron and Sean Penn attended his winter wonderland-themed party.
The Family Guy star turned his private residence in Beverly Hills into a snow-covered Christmas paradise for his annual bash, and some of Hollywood's most famous faces came out to spread holiday cheer.
According to Us Weekly, the guests also included Zac Efron, Kate Beckinsale, Martin Scorsese, Matt Bomer, Ashley Greene, Camilla Belle, Emile Hirsch, and Robert Pattinson and his singer girlfriend F.K.A. Twigs.
MacFarlane even took to the stage to perform some holiday songs off his new Christmas album, and according to the publication, his A Million Ways to Die in the West co-star Theron asked to conduct the orchestra backing him, to which he told her, "Charlize, if you f**k this tempo up, I swear to God!..."
Insiders say the stars were greeted by carol singers at the door, and there was even a bar made of ice, where guests wore fur coats as they gathered their drinks at the frozen stand.

News Release
Bi-Coastal Collaboration at Scripps Research Uncovers Novel Activators of Key Cell Receptors
Findings Could Help Identify Therapeutic Targets, Optimize Drug Candidates
LA JOLLA, CA, July 2, 2008 — Working in close collaboration, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, and in Jupiter, Florida, have identified several new molecules that activate cell receptors responsible for the regulation of a number of key physiological processes. The molecules have the potential to advance drug development.
The study was published as an ASAP Article on July 1, 2008, by the journal ACS Chemical Biology.
The newly published agonists (an agonist is a molecule that improves the activity of another molecule) interact selectively with one of two subtypes of the Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor system, which helps regulate heart rate, the size of coronary arteries, vessel wall integrity, and lymphocyte trafficking.
"Understanding the role of individual receptors, something that could help in understanding physiology and pathology that underlies successful therapeutics, has been limited by the lack of selective chemical probes for the various S1P sub-types," said Hugh Rosen, a Scripps Research scientist and professor in the Department of Chemical Physiology. "These new selective probes will be of broad use in understanding cell functions—and help us validate new therapeutic targets."
The two receptor subtypes, S1P1 and S1P3, are involved in signaling response to extracellular ligands (small molecules that bind specifically to larger ones), and play an important role in various physiological functions. 1 has been linked to immunosuppression in multiple sclerosis, while S1P3 on dendritic cells was recently shown by Wolfram Ruf (Scripps Research Immunology and Microbial Sciences Department) and collaborators to be a potential therapeutic target for sepsis syndrome.
"We chose these receptors as a model system because of their clear medical importance," Rosen said. "Uncovering some of the first validated agonists for S1P3 might serve as the basis for the development of tools for further study of this receptor and its role in septic shock."
The S1P receptors belong to the largest subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors for which high-resolution x-ray structures are available. 1 and S1P3 are the most closely related members of this family, sharing approximately 50 percent identity and more than 70 percent similar amino acids.
"The key question is why is S1P3 a more difficult receptor to find good chemical starting points for than S1P1, its close relative." Rosen said.
Using ultra-high-throughput screening, the Scripps Research Molecular Screening Center, a national small molecule discovery center in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Screening Centers Network, tested more than 80,000 compounds on both receptors to find some answers.
The most remarkable difference was in small molecule agonist recognition, as demonstrated by the very different validated hit rates for the high-throughput screening of the respective receptors. Assays developed by Steven Brown, a Ph.D., head of the assay develpment lab in the Screening Center, and other colleagues in La Jolla were implemented at Scripps Florida by Peter Hodder, lead identification scientific director, and other members of the team. Then in a combined effort across the campuses, Stephan Schürer, Informatics group leader in Florida, used computer modeling ligand docking, while La Jolla colleagues contributed receptor mutagenesis to create models that revealed both similarities and important differences in the binding pockets of the two receptors.
The high-throughput screening process was more effective in finding good agonists with S1P1 than S1P3, Rosen said, and fewer and less potent agonists were identified for S1P3. Chemical residues in the binding pockets caused changes in agonist accommodation. As a result, the 1 binding pocket may accommodate more rigid and perhaps larger ligands compared to S1P3. The study also reported the first S1P3 agonist with selectivity against 1.
The new study depended on a seamless collaboration in a unified data environment linking both campuses of The Scripps Research Institute. The study focuses primarily on identifying those mechanisms that may become appropriate targets for exploration as modulators of biological function and possible drug candidates.
"What we have done is generate chemical tools that allow us to uncover how human physiology and pathophysiology are wired," Rosen said. "We open up the basic science to gain a deeper understanding, which in turn creates opportunities and multiple approaches that can lead to benefits for patients."
The authors of the study, Ligand-Binding Pocket Shape Differences between S1P1 and S1P3 Determine Efficiency of Chemical Probe Identification by Ultrahigh-Throughput Screening, were Stephan C. Schürer, Steven J. Brown, Pedro Gonzales Cabrera, Marie-Therese Schaeffer, Jacqueline Chapman, Euijung Jo, Peter Chase, Tim Spicer, Peter Hodder, and Hugh Rosen, all of The Scripps Research Institute. See http://pubs.acs.org/cgi-bin/abstract.cgi/acbcct/asap/abs/cb800051m.html.
The study was supported by the Molecular Libraries Initiative of the National Institutes of Health Roadmap.

With the roar of traffic soaring overhead on the Chicago Skyway, Little Village community activist Raul Montes, Jr. stood with Chicago business owners and residents to call on Mayor Rahm Emanuel Sunday to end the city's lease of the tollway.
"It's an infamous deal," Montes, 36, said. "When we sell Chicago's assets to alleviate budget concerns, it's pretty much fiscally irresponsible."
The city sold the rights to the roadway that connects to Indiana in 2005 for $1.83 billion for a 99-year lease.
The tollway, which now costs $3.50 to travel, is estimated to cost $5 to cross in 2017, Montes said.
"All profits are going to them instead of the city of Chicago," Montes said. "We sold out."
He acknowledged that it would take some legal maneuvering for the city to detach itself from the lease. Montes proposed using profits from a future Chicago casino to buy out the lease, or renegotiate.

National Elder Law Month is an opportunity for NAELA members to meet face-to-face with their neighbors in the community to answer these questions.
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) May 01, 2014
The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) established May as National Elder Law Month as a way to educate older Americans and their families on powers of attorney, elder financial exploitation, living trusts, Medicare, long-term care insurance, and other important issues.
Many NAELA members will be out in their communities in May:
- Conducting a Living Will/Health Care Proxy Day;
- Presenting a seminar at the local senior or community center;
- Providing pro bono services; or

ROW80 Check-in: I've actually made my word count goal every day this week! 😀 😀 And after a long talk over Vietnamese food Monday night, Eric has helped me realize that it's okay to add in another point of view. Which means that things have just gotten SO MUCH BETTER. Ahh.
Okay, so I don't have that big huge everything that's going on in my life post ready for you. I KNOW. I KNOW. I'm sorry. I'm still not 100% health wise (this cough just won't go away!) and I've been putting most of my spare time into either writing or thinking about wedding stuff. One of those things is actually productive. The other … not so much, considering we don't even have a date set yet. We want to wait until Eric graduates from Georgetown, which will happen next May. (CAN YOU BELIEVE that he's halfway through with grad school already? CRAZINESS. I feel like we just MOVED here and now he's already halfway to a master's degree. Insane.) So we're leaning towards next fall (which we both want), but we also have to have some big talks about when exactly, since our original idea of October 6 is out, considering half of Eric's family are farmers and well, October is BUSY. And that would just be terrible if they couldn't make it. But we'd both be okay with June or late May. Memorial Day weekend is looking EXCELLENT. We just have to find a venue that will have us. 🙂
Someone asked us if we'd just get married on our anniversary – which is technically the day we met, the first day of Freshman Orientation at OSU, since we've been inseparable since then and never technically had a "first date". I have no desire to be a melting puddle of goo in a DC summer on our wedding day, but it just so happens that July 28, 2012 is actually a Saturday, so we'll see.
At the same time, though, it'd be weird to have another anniversary. By that time, we'll have been together for SIX YEARS. Do we just not count them? Do we just start over because we're married? I don't know! Ahh!
BUT. If anyone is interested, I've started a pinboard of inspiration-y pictures for the wedding. Because, you guys, I am SO EXCITED that in roughly 12 months I'll be married to my best friend. Ahh.

Public Notices
Fish and Wildlife Department
Be Bear Aware
New Jersey is home to all kinds of beautiful wildlife - including black bears.
Black bears are getting a lot of attention these days, for the wrong reasons. They're venturing too close to homes and into backyards, looking for food. Bears that look for food near your home or in your yard likely have learned bad habits from people who feed them intentionally, or unintentionally by carelessly leaving out food or garbage.
People who feed bears think they're helping them. But it only invites trouble. It can make them a nuisance or even aggressive. when that happens, the bears must be destroyed to protect your family and your neighbors. What's more, it's illegal to feed bears in New Jersey. Anyone who feeds bears could face a penalty of up to $1,000 for each offense.
Taking steps to avoid attracting bears with food or garbage is the best way to prevent them from becoming a nuisance near your home.
Here's what you can do to be a Good Neighbor - Be Bear Aware
Use bear proof garbage containers, if possible. They offer the best protection. Otherwise, store all garbage in containers with tight-fitting lids and place them along the inside walls of your garage, or in the basement, a sturdy shed or other secure area.
Put out garbage on collection day, not the night before.
Wash garbage containers with disinfectant solution at least once a week to remove odors. Draping rags soaked in bleach over your garbage bags also help to eliminate odors.
Feed dogs and cats outside during daylight hours only. Immediately after feeding pets, remove all uneaten food and scraps as well as food bowls.
Clean outdoor grills thoroughly after each use. Grease and food residue will attract bears.
Do not place meat or any sweet food in compost piles.
Feed birds only between December 1 and April 1 when bears are least active. Suspend bird feeders from a free hanging wire, making sure the bottom of the feeder is at least 10 feet off the ground. Clean up spilled seeds and shells.
Pick up any fruit that falls from fruit trees daily, and discard it in garbage containers with tight fitting lids.
Consider installing electric fencing to protect crops, beehives and small livestock, if you live in an area with a large black bear population.
Report black bear damage or nuisance behavior to your local police department or the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Fish and Wildlife at 908-735-8793.

Medical billing schools in Tennessee offer prospective students a number of educational options. Tennessee boasts 10 private universities, 13 public community colleges, 27 Technology Centers, and a number of online medical billing school programs, many of which offer programs in medical billing.
Program offerings at medical billing schools in Tennessee range from certificate, diploma and degree programs; determining which is best for you will depend on your employment goals.
Those planning to focus on medical coding may want to consider an Associate's Degree program, which typically lasts 2 years since employers tend to expect more detailed coursework in medical coding, which is not always offered in a general medical billing program.
Those considering opening a home based medical billing business will benefit from coursework which covers setting up a home business, including how to choose appropriate medical billing software, how to price your services, and how to write a good business plan.
As you research various programs, especially online medical billing school options (the quality of which can vary widely), ask to speak with both instructors and current and former students. They will give you an accurate picture of what the program actually involves, and you will be able to quickly narrow your search to programs which match your needs.
Ask about the instructor's experience in the medical billing and coding field, the availability of career placement assistance (if any), and the success rate of placing students in jobs after coursework is complete. Their insight is much more valuable than any information those glossy brochures can convey.
After your education at one of the medical billing schools in Tennessee is complete, most employment opportunities can be found in Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Clarksville, and Murfreesboro.
Often the first place newly trained medical billing professionals look for jobs is at a family practice. While this is a fine choice, often overlooked specialties such as offices of occupational and physical therapists or dentists, nursing homes, or urgent care centers (to name just a few) are good options which may receive fewer job inquiries. Think outside the box to reduce the competition.
The US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov) conducts bi-annual wage data surveys. Overall, medical billing professionals in Tennessee can expect to earn a mean hourly wage of $16.41 and a mean annual wage of $34.140
For 2014 (the most recent survey year) these areas of Tennessee report the following data:
|Mean Hourly Wage
|Mean Annual Wage
|Morristown, TN
|Eastern TN Non-Metropolitan Areas
|Knoxville, TN
|Kingsport - Bristol - Bristol TN-VA
|Johnson City, TN
|Chattanooga, TN
|North Central TN Non-Metropolitan Areas
|Nashville - Davidson - Murfreesboro - Franklin, TN
|South Central TN Non-Metropolitan Area
|Clarksville TN-KY
|Western TN Non-Metropolitan Areas
|Jackson, TN
|Memphis, TN
Jackson, TN ranks #1 in the Nation for areas with the highest concentration of jobs in the medical billing field, with 280 jobs in the industry.
Salaries across the state generally fall in the low to mid 30K range, but standout areas such as Kingsport, Bristol, Johnson City, Chattanooga, Nashville, Davidson, Murfreesboro, Franklin and Memphis all fall on the higher side, in the 34K-35K range.
The U.S. Census Bureau reports that Tennessee has experienced an 11.5% population increase during the ten year period from 2000 to 2010, largely due to a number of people relocating from several northern states, Florida and California.
The low cost of living, coupled with the booming automobile and healthcare industries make Tennessee an attractive place to live. The increased need for healthcare this population increase necessitates makes the medical billing and coding field a solid employment option for long term job security in the industry.Home › Medical Coding and Billing Schools › Medical Billing Schools in Tennessee

Branding was introduced as a protection against business failures by creating an identity by investing time and effort. However, not every brand is a success. Some disappear in an instant, while others simply grow old or retire. Meanwhile, many brands do not achieve the desired level of success because they can't compete in a crowded marketplace.

During a recent trip to the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL), I was able to scan an artifact that once caught my eye while researching another site in East Texas. When we think of Caddo artifacts, lithics are not usually the first class of artifacts that come to mind; as the Caddo are quite famous for their skill with ceramics.
This specimen (4078-63) comes from Feature 134 at the Davis site, and was associated with Skeleton 5. There is something adhering to the biface; according to Shafer (1973), this may be the remains of a leather sheath. He noted that edge smoothing and some polishing occurs almost around the full perimeter of the biface, which may have resulted from being carried in (and lightly abrading against) a loose sheath of bark or leather (Shafer 1973). This material is still adhered to the biface, and is also present on several of the Gahagan bifaces from the George C. Davis site. You can see it in the photo below, and it is also plainly evident in the 3D model. The biface is an impressive 480 mm (48 cm) in length.
I did end up making a 3D puzzle of the large biface, using those data from the 3D model–you can download the plans here (https://works.bepress.com/zac_selden/203/). There are 37 puzzle pieces that can be cut out from five sheets of 8.5×11″ paper; so there is no need for a 3D printer. This puzzle is a bit more challenging than the ceramic puzzles. There are 754 triangles and 380 vertices–to put that in perspective, the full size 3D model has over 2,400,000 triangles and 1,200,000 vertices. As you build the puzzle, take some time to ponder the skill, care and craftsmanship that the original Caddo maker took to create such an incredible tool.
Whether simply a rainy day activity with the family, or an engaging way to get students involved in thinking about local prehistory, these puzzles offer a creative, elegant and challenging alternative to all things digital. Having the 3D scans available for analysts to use is great; however, as archaeologists, we need to do more to raise awareness of these finite and important resources. Prehistory is underfoot–take some time to learn about local prehistory in your neck of the woods.

They're both good. "Building Web Services with Java" has a section on Axis, which the other one doesn't. "J2EE Web Services" has better coverage of XML schema. I haven't read through all sections of each but they both have something to offer. If you need some Axis coverage, get the first. Tony I'm looking on a good book on web services that goes into the nitty-gritty details and has broad coverage as well. By necessity it'll be a big book. The recommended readings from the Axis docs seem to be slightly out of date. Looking around I narrowed my focus on these two Steve Graham et al. Building Web Services with Java (2nd ed) Sams 2004 Richard Monson-Haefel J2EE Web Services Addison-Wesley 2003 Is any one of them preferable? Are there others I ought to look at?

The One: Experience Jesus | The Start
"God chose us to be in a relationship with Him even before He laid out plans for this world; He wanted us to live holy lives characterized by love, free from sin, and blameless before Him. He destined us to be adopted as His children through the covenant Jesus the Anointed inaugurated in His sacrificial life. This was His pleasure and His will for us." Ephesians 1:4-5 The Voice
Our perception forms our reality. It determines how we make our decisions, and where we get our worth, confidence and purpose. Having a correct perception of Jesus is foundational to having the relationship He wants with us, and to us experiencing more of Him every day. When the Word of God is central to our thinking and our perceptions are based on truth, we will see healthy growth in our lives.
First and foremost God made the world with us in mind, as the opening scripture states "God chose us to be in a relationship with Him even before He laid out plans for this world." We need to understand that Jesus chose us first, we didn't choose Him. We were born sinners because of Adam & Eve, but he chose us. Not because we were going to be perfect, but because of His perfect love for us. Each day wake up and know that Jesus loved you first. He gave himself for you, not because you're going to be perfect each day, not because you're going to do some really good "Christian works", but because you are a Child of God. From that correct perception we can live free from getting on the treadmill of self-righteousness. Our "Christian works" will come out of a heart of gratitude for the gospel, not from trying to gain or earn the love and acceptance from Jesus that we already have.
In Chapter One of The One we look back at the story of Creation, we can learn much about God's intended relationship with humanity, our tendencies towards disobedience because of the incorrect perception Adam & Eve had of the character of God, the enemy's motivation and weapons against us today. If we continue to examine our perceptions of His character we'll see our experience of Him grow stronger.
Q. As we learn from Adam and Eve, we can think that God is withholding things from us for no good reason. Is there something in your life you feel God is withholding from you and how is that making you feel? What are other areas in your life where God been faithful in your past to give you what is best?
Q. What do you think we learn from Adam and Eve in terms of humanity's tendencies to want to be in charge and not submitted to God's words and will?
Q. What do you think Satan's core motivation and weapon against us is that stops us from experiencing a deeper relationship with Jesus?
Spend some time this week examining your perceptions and motivations for doing "Christian works", is it coming from a heart that is grateful for what Jesus has done for you or is it an obligation because you want to feel valued, by people and Jesus?
