Course Offerings - Catalog 2013-14
German Studies
Division of Humanities
The major program in German Studies is designed to meet the needs of four types of students: those who intend to continue the study of German in graduate school and want to enter the teaching profession; those who want to be proficient in a second language for work in international relations or commerce; those who major in another field and use language study to support their research in that field; and those for whom German serves as the basis of a broad liberal education, in much the same way a major in English serves this purpose for many students.
The program offers an integrated curriculum of German culture from the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Images of daily life and German civilization as portrayed in films, music, art, literature, and drama focus language acquisition and create the basis for seven courses on major themes and questions about German culture. Students will encounter the figures of Luther, Goethe, Nietzsche, Mozart, Thomas Mann, Kafka, or Rilke in many of the courses, but all courses will promote a broad understanding of literary values, critical analysis, and appreciation of cultural traditions.
A unique feature of the program is the immersion stay of a minimum of six weeks in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland required of all majors. A true beginner can become sufficiently proficient in the language to major in German and to take up residence in one of these countries where some recent majors are currently employed or studying.
While the major in German Studies prepares students for the study of language and literature in graduate school and the teaching profession, it is also intended for those with cultural, social, political, or economic interests. German serves as a solid basis for a broad liberal education and proficiency in the language can provide research opportunities in many scientific fields and further careers in government, international relations, music, drama, the fine arts, or commerce.

Ben Hostelley Memorial Scholarship
The scholarship program, endowed by the late Nor-Gwyn President and founder, is presented each year to a current or former Nor-Gwyn baseball or softball player who has displayed exemplary sportsmanship and an outstanding commitment to community service. The scholarship is administered by a 3-member panel of trustees that is independent of the Nor-Gwyn organization.
Gerald (Ben) Hostelley was one of five founders of the former Upper Gwynedd-North Wales Baseball Association in the early 1970s, which later became Nor-Gwyn Baseball and Softball. Ben was Nor-Gwyn's first President and served in this capacity until his death in 1997. In the words of one former player, "Ben was a teacher, a mentor, and most of all, a friend. He had a knack for spotting players that needed a little extra attention, such as a player from a fatherless home, or one who has a sick parent or a parent that could not spend much time with their child. He was intensely interested in following the lives and careers of his players. It is perfectly fitting that he would establish a scholarship for players."
Selection Criteria:
Applicants must have played baseball or softball in Nor-Gwyn for at least four years, with at least two of those years being at or after the age of 14.
Applicants must be age 21 or less on the application deadline to be eligible.
Applicants must attend an accredited school of higher education in the Fall of the year of application. The scholarship will be paid directly to the winner's school.
Scholarship awards are for one year only. Past winners of scholarships must reapply to be considered for another scholarship. Scholarships may be awarded to the same person no more than two consecutive years, and no more than four scholarships may be awarded to any one person.
Any person to whom a scholarship is awarded must agree to allow his/her photograph and accompanying article to appear in newspapers of general circulation.
Application Process:
Applications are submitted in the 2Q of each year. More information about the program and an application can be requested by writing to:

Warminster, PA 18974.

Midwest transplant brings his New York sound to town
"Living in New York City is like tug-of-war. I'm constantly going back and forth deciding if I like it here," says indie-folk songwriter Ben Rabb, whose first EP, Until It's Gone, was written after an influential move to NYC.
"These songs are about me trying to make sense of my experiences here. New York is a place with a lot of people, a lot of noise, a lot of ups and downs…which makes it a great muse," he explains.
Rabb is steeped in the fingerpicked sounds of the folksinger greats—James Taylor, Eric Andersen, Joni Mitchell—but more closely aligned with modern, indie-minded songwriters like David Gray.
Everything started in the Midwest, where Rabb spent his first 10 years. He grew up listening to folk music, learning about the older stuff from his parents and getting a more up-to-date education from his older sister, who passed along many of her own albums.
By the time he finally moved to New York in his mid-20s, Rabb had already spent a decade jumping from city to city, steadily collecting the stories that would eventually fill his own music.
Come see—and hear—for yourself this Saturday evening and discover an up-and-coming storyteller who brings us into his own world with the power of his music and voice.

Villa 1-1 Spurs - 10 men earn deserved point
The battle for a place in the top four of the Premier League will go to the last weekend of the season after Sunday's draw at Villa.
The point - gained after being reduced to 10 men when we were trailing 1-0 with 40 minutes remaining - was good enough to lift us back into fourth place after Newcastle lost at home to Manchester City.
It also means we're just a point behind Arsenal in third after the Gunners' 3-3 draw against Norwich on Saturday.
Victory over Fulham next Sunday will guarantee a place in the top four - if we win and Arsenal fail to beat West Brom at The Hawthorns, then we'll take third.
But that's for next week...
We had the better of the first half at Villa Park - statistics at half-time showed a shot count of 11-3 in our favour - but went in 1-0 down after a huge slice of luck went against us.
Ciaran Clark had nothing on 30 yards out so opted to let fly and his shot hit William Gallas, leaving Brad Friedel completely stranded as the ball floated into his opposite corner.
The situation took a turn for the worse at the start of the second half when Danny Rose was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Alan Hutton.
But the 10 men responded 10 minutes later when Sandro was hauled down by Richard Dunne and Emmanuel Adebayor buried a nerve-less penalty for 1-1.
We continued to dominate without carving out a clear-cut chance against Villa's massed defence - the final shot count of 21-4 in our favour underlining how well the 10 men performed.
Harry Redknapp went with the same starting line-up for the third-successive match with Scott Parker back in the 18 after his recent Achilles problem and on the bench.
Adebayor had our first effort in the fifth minute and after penalty appeals against Younes Kaboul on Emile Heskey were waved away, we started to gain control of possession.
Kyle Walker blasted over from 25 yards and Gareth Bale rose above Hutton to meet van der Vaart's cross, but couldn't angle his header on target.
Villa didn't look like getting in behind us but took the lead in the 35th minute when Clark, central, shot from distance and the ball clipped off Gallas and left Friedel helpless.
Bale soon forced the save of the match from Given, clawing the ball out of the top corner and van der Vaart whistled another 20-yarder just wide.
A tough task against a team fighting for survival became tougher when Rose received his marching orders five minutes into the second half.
But the 10 men maintained control and were handed a way back into the game when Dunne upended Sandro on the hour. Adebayor stepped up and made no mistake from the penalty spot.
Villa had two chances after that - Friedel out of his area to clear from Weimann, Dunne headed wide from a corner - and the rest of the game was spent in their half as we tried to find a way through.
Van der Vaart shot wide from the edge of the box, Adebayor couldn't turn Walker's cross on target and then both Adebayor and William Gallas dived in at the near post but couldn't connect with Lennon's cross.
Aston Villa (4-5-1): Given; Hutton (Collins, 53), Dunne, Cuellar, Lichaj; N'Zogbia, Herd, Clark, Ireland, Warnock; Heskey (Weimann, 53; replaced by Delfouneso, 70). Unused subs: Guzan, Bannan, Gardner, Carruthers.
Spurs (4-4-1-1): Friedel; Walker, Gallas, Kaboul, Rose; Lennon, Modric, Sandro, Bale; Van der Vaart (Parker, 89); Adebayor. Unused subs: Cudicini, Nelsen, Livermore, Defoe, Giovani, Saha.
Goals: Villa - Clark (35); Spurs - Adebayor (penalty, 61).
Attendance: 36,008.
Referee: Mr L Probert.

One of the murkier areas in college sports is the aspect of recruiting. Thanks to the NCAA though, those lines are now more clearly defined for college lacrosse coaches. Recently the NCAA announced a rule that high school lacrosse players cannot begin their recruiting process until their junior year.
WAER's Jake Marsh shares reaction to the rule change from players and coaches at both the high school and college levels.

text: chapter 10 Professional Editing Techniques T he preceding chapters have covered the technical aspects of editing video in iMovie: where to click, what keys to press, and how iMovie's various controls operate. This chapter is about the artistic aspects of video editing: when to cut, what to cut to, and how to create the emotional impact you want. Put another way, this chapter is a continuation of the flm-theory crash course that began in the frst three chapters of this book. Chapter 2, for example, describes flm- making techniques that you must think about at the time you're shooting. This chapter offers some tricks in editing. The Power of Editing The editing process is crucial in any kind of movie, from a home movie to a Hol- lywood thriller. Clever editing can turn a troubled movie into a successful one, or a boring home movie into one that, for the frst time, family members don't interrupt every three minutes by lapsing into conversation. You, the editor, are free to jump from "camera" to "camera," angle to angle, to cut from one location or time to another, and so on. Today's audiences accept that you're telling a story; they don't stomp out in confusion because one minute, James Bond was in his London offce, but showed up in Venice a split second later. You can also compress time; that's one of editing's most common duties. (That's for- tunate, because most movies tell stories that, in real life, take days, weeks, or years to unfold.) You can also expand time, making ten seconds stretch out to six minutes--a familiar effect to anyone who's ever watched a fnal sequence involving a bomb con- nected to a digital timer (and heroes racing to defuse it). chapter10:professionaleditingtechniques 263

TOM FORD is definitely our man! He set the tone for the fashion of the 90′s, he was the Gucci man and the man Yves Saint Laurent hated the most but that did nothing but to add up to his success aura. He did the most outrageous naked campaigns and imposed the power of sex on fashion and vice versa. He did the first nude campaign for a YSL perfume campaign and got a model's pubic hair razed in the form of a G for a Gucci campaign. And lots and lots of other exploits that are just his trademarks and did nothing but move fashion forward, open minds and fields, increase sales and turn him into a fashion visionary and a marketing genius.
When he got tired, he stepped back, went home, pulled the drapes and went to sleep. The next day he started designing eyewear under his own label, TOM FORD, then he imagined fragrances and then, one day, he realized he had really nothing to wear. And so he launched TOM FORD Menswear. Afterwards, he made a movie. And he put his whole life into it and on the screen. And then came the women…he couldn't really totally give up on them. History wouldn't have allowed it so.
His campaigns are as shocking as they used to. But he is much more discrete and exclusive. He designs for men and women who appreciate being dressed. He indulges into luxury and is not afraid to put it right into your face. He is extravagant and rich and if you don't fit into his clothes it's probably because…you know, you just don't fit into his clothes. And it ain't about money!
So let's love this man! Let's praise him, let's go along, let's act a bit arrogant, a bit distant, a bit snobbish, let's come in all luxurious elegance and step into a world of excess and good life! Let's take out THAT amazing dress we almost never get to wear for fear of "too much", let's not fear looking expensive, let's wear our statement necklace and our impressive rings. Let's wear lace or fur or velvet, let's flirt with our cleavage or our legs, let's pay attention to details and have a perfect hair and perfect lips! Let's taste the caviar and the world's most exclusive vodka and be that woman or that man TOM FORD would like his clothes to be worn by. Let's be luxurious! Let's just be perfect!

For many people, retirement represents a time to pursue rewarding and fulfilling activities that work or family commitments may have previously made difficult.
Volunteering is a satisfying and worthwhile activity that benefits both the cause you are volunteering for and your own wellbeing. The Chief Executive Officer of Volunteering Australia, Brett Williamson OAM, notes "Research tells us that volunteering makes a difference in people's happiness. It's proven that volunteers are happier, healthier and even sleep better than those who don't volunteer."
We see our fair share of wonderful volunteers within RetireAustralia's 28 villages and have found that the most fulfilling activities align with their current hobbies or passions. For example, one of our Newling Gardens residents, Des Bowlay has recently being awarded the Duine Uasal (Gaelic for 'honoured person') by the Celtic Council of Australia for over 20 years of volunteer work with the Celtic Festival in nearby Glen Innes. Des says he's proud to have contributed to the festival and encourage more people to connect with their Celtic roots.
It goes to show, there's something out there to suit everyone!
Animal welfare
Our cute and cuddly animal companions play big roles in our lives so it's no surprise that they hold a special place in our hearts.
The RSPCA is dedicated to improving the welfare of animals and protecting them from neglect and cruelty. The RSPCA has many different animal centres around the country and there are numerous positions that need filling such as animal ambulance drivers, foster carers, retail attendants and ambassadors. On top of this, if you're not able to make your way to a volunteering shelter, donations are always welcome.
Local Community
If you are looking for something close to home, there are many opportunities to volunteer within your local town or suburb.
Do something near you allows you to refine your volunteer search to your postcode and choose the cause that you want to be involved in. It's a one-stop-shop for information about community volunteering and charity events in your very own back yard.
Environmental conservation has become a real point of debate within the last few years and is a topic that many people are truly passionate about.
Conservation Volunteers Australia aims to connect people with nature and inspire change. You can participate in any of their conservation projects or support their cause through fundraising, donations or buying Conservation Australia merchandise.
It's a great cause that will surely take you back to your roots.
Volunteer from your own home
For those who are interested in helping out from the comfort of their own home, 'microvolunteering' might be the perfect solution for you.
Help from home gives you the freedom to participate in whatever you want, whenever you want and for however long you want. This includes signing pledges for issues that mean the most to you, sharing something on Facebook, or filling in surveys for those conducting research. It's also a fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded people online.
There are many more volunteering groups all around Australia, and the people involved come from all walks of life. You can put in as little or as much time as you wish, but know that you are making a difference no matter what.

Ghostly Set Of Eldorado Soap Flop Left To Rot 24 Years On
1 September 2017, 10:33
Dubbed the Spanish Eastenders, the soap was a flop and given the chop by the Beeb after airing just 156 episodes because of poor ratings and expensive production costs.
The set of the failed Eldorado soap has been abandoned for the last 24 years. The glamorous set on the Costa Del Sol that cost £10million has gone to rack and ruin.
Credit: BBC News
Eldorado was launched at a time when Eastenders was in its heyday and there were great expectations as the BBC invested millions into the show which had fantastic audience figures when it launched.
Credit: BBC News
At one point viewers were obsessed with the stories of ex-pats living in Los Barcos, thats the Spanish equivalent of Albert Square to you and me, but this was short lived and the soap soon fell into trouble.
Although the show had some very experienced actors such as Patricia Brake and Jesse Birdsall it also had actors who had literally never acted before or were first timers and attempts to make it a European show were criticised and the dodgy accents were hailed as bizarre.

Remember the Eldorado theme tune?
Actress Polly Perkins, who played Trish Valentine in the series , recently revisited the town and lamented how it had fallen into ruins.
"It could do with a lick of paint this place," she told the BBC.
"If I'd have been here it would've been done by now. It's been let to go to rack and ruin, I think it's a terrible shame. What a waste."

The Aflatoxin Proficiency Testing and Control in for Eastern and Central Africa (APTECA) program performs 3rd party verification activities to provide interested parties (i.e. millers, other industry, government agencies) with objective evidence of a laboratory's capability to produce data that is both accurate and repeatable. The program also provides biannual global Proficiency Testing, working controls samples of known aflatoxin concentration for internal quality control, and the APTECA seal (Aflatoxin tested Process verified by APTECA), which can be used to demonstrate a laboratory's competence to clients, potential customers, accreditation bodies and other external entities.

The purpose of this project is to identify publically available maize inbred lines in South Africa and Kenya that can be introduced into plant breeding programmes for resistance breeding to AER and FER and their associated mycotoxins. To achieve this, maize inbred lines have been screened for resistance to AER and FER, and their associated mycotoxins, over multiple locations in both Kenya and South Africa. Kenyan material with resistance to AER will have been screened for resistance to FER in South Africa, and South African material with resistance to FER have been screened for resistance to AER in Kenya. Resistant material has been identified and crossed with maize inbred lines adapted to South African and Kenyan conditions and tested for resistance to AER, FER, aflatoxins and fumonisins. Finally, quantitative trait loci will be identified for AER and FER resistance that could in future be used for marker assistant selection by maize breeding programmes.

Cloud Leader at Sage Patrick Pando discusses digital disruption and the importance of embracing change in your business.
In my last post I wrote about how innovation cycles are a constant series of ripples tearing across all industries. Individually, these ripples are easy to miss but together they form a rising tide that transforms your industry before most of us know it is too late.
The ripples are insidious. They start unnoticed around the edges, as free downloads, foreign websites, apps used by teens, high-end tools used by the corporate warriors. Innovation cycles start as a noise that is not crucial to your core business, but it is happening and it's happening to your business.
8 signs that you are about to be disrupted
- You focus on technology to drive efficiency and cut cost rather than to create value or enter new markets.
- You have apps, mobiles and cloud solutions but nothing seems hooked-up, and your team seems to be focused on the next hip, cool stuff du jour but never adopts one for a long time.
- You are working harder for each additional unit of revenue. You and your teams are struggling to drive growth with existing clients and are fighting hard to keep the clients you already have.
- IT is considered only an internal or outsourced function and is a running company joke. Is IT a joke at transport giant Uber or accommodation booking site Airbnb? No, IT there are rock-stars.
- The average age of your customer is increasing. Next time you're with a group of your customers, take a look at them; are they approximately the same age? And if you think back ten years ago, were they approximately the same age but ten years younger?
- You make money the same way you've always made money. Your revenue model hasn't changed.
- Data seems to be everywhere but it is siloed with individuals and departments. (Shouldn't your company information be as readily available as your Auntie's weekend snaps with her Labrador retriever?)
- You have a high-touch business model.
Hold on, didn't we all think that technology was to be the great equaliser, a democratic force enabling smaller companies to expand their market reach and win clients normally out of their reach? Why are so many companies being left by the wayside?
Say goodbye to the status quo
You know what you've always done, but you may not know what needs to happen next. Efforts to preserve the status quo are merely putting your thumb in the digital disruption levee.
We have to embrace change and make new sense, from the business models we use to the technology solutions on which we design them. Like it or not, all business is now digital; the businesses that will lead tomorrow will be built on platforms that offer digital consumerization, cloud technology, mobility and data visualisation in real time.
Today a business leader needs to bet on a flexible cloud platform that scales as you grow and offers real-time mobile data, including live newsfeeds and notifications on your most important business metrics. Real-time data and precise KPIs enable you to make faster, better decisions every time (a topic I will discuss in my next post.)
More and more companies are also using cloud technology to automate their repetitive tasks. This gives them increased speed, flexibility, and efficiency and, perhaps most important of all, frees them to focus their creative energy and time on the core offerings that grow their business. Sage Live allows you to do exactly this.
Face digital disruption with cloud innovation
Built on the market-leading Salesforce engine, Sage Live gives you real-time data insights, automates repetitive tasks, and seamlessly integrates with thousands of business apps on the Salesforce AppExchange.
Every step of the way, our customer success team guides you through the process, from trying it out, to getting it up and running, to customising it to the unique needs of your business.
Is your current business platform ready to take on digital consumerisation, cloud technology, mobility, and data visualisation on-the-go?

|Traditional Thai Massage
The tradition goes far back
The fingers go far into the flesh, reaching muscle knotted with tension
Ancient Massage or nuat phaen boran, as the Thais know it, is an
integral part of local traditional medical techniques. Herbal medicine and
saunas combine with all the resources of a centuries-old tradition of magic.
Despite the obvious success of Western medical techniques, traditional medicine
with its holistic approach to healing still has many adherents.

Claudio Reyna is targeting the USA's friendly against Paraguay in a fortnight's time to make his return after nine months out through injury.
The Sunderland midfielder has been called into the squad for the friendly, which forms part of the USA's build up to the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament in North America later in July, and if he plays it will be the first time he has been involved in a match since rupturing his cruciate ligament in a Premiership game at Bolton in October.
Reyna was left out of the USA's squad for the Confederations Cup in France after agreeing with manager Bruce Arena that it was better he missed the tournament having picked up a slight calf strain in training.
The USA drew against Cameroon last night in the Confederations Cup, meaning they head home at the end of the initial group phase.
But they will be back in action against Paraguay on July 6 when Reyna should make his comeback and hopefully prove that he has fully recovered from injury.
The USA then face El Salvador and Martinique in the group stage of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Reyna is one of Sunderland's key assets and, although he has not indicated that he wants to leave, he is among the high earners at the club and if an acceptable offer came in for him the Black Cats may have little alternative but to allow him to leave.
Mick McCarthy has said that he would be happy to keep Reyna although he recognises that the player may want to remain in the Premiership.
Blackburn Rovers were linked with the former Rangers man over the weekend but any potential buyer would need to be sure that the 29-year-old is 100 per cent again after his knee injury and the international games next month will give Reyna the chance to show that is the case.
Sunderland's Swiss right-back Bernt Haas is reportedly a target for West Bromwich Albion. Haas fell out of favour with Peter Reid in March 2002 and has not played for the Black Cats since, while last season he was loaned to FC Basel.

What Is Osteoporosis?
Bone is made up of calcium and protein. There are two types of bone compact bone and spongy bone and each bone in the body contains some of each type. Compact bone looks solid and hard and is found on the outer part of bones. Spongy bone is filled with holes, like a sponge, and is found on the inside of bones. The first signs of osteoporosis are seen in bones with a lot of spongy bone, such as the spine, hip and wrist.
Once made, bone is always changing. Old bone is removed in a process called resorption, and new bone is formed in a process called formation. From childhood until age 30, bone is formed faster than it is broken down, and bones become large and more dense. After age 30, the process begins to reverse: Bone is broken down faster than it is made, a process that continues throughout life. A small amount of bone loss after age 35 is normal in all women and men, and usually doesn't cause any problems. However, too much bone loss can result in osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become thin and brittle because more bone is lost than formed. The bones are still the same size, but the outside walls of compact bone become thinner, and the holes in spongy bone become larger, thus greatly weakening the bone.
Osteoporosis poses a special threat to women. The female hormone estrogen protects against bone loss, but as a woman nears menopause, her body produces less estrogen. Hormone therapy slows bone loss after menopause estrogen decreases the risk of hip fractures and spinal deformities, and progestin decreases the risk of endometrial cancer, which often occurs in women who have a uterus when estrogen is given alone.
However, bone loss begins long before menopause and a great deal of bone loss typically occurs before symptoms of osteoporosis show. These symptoms include back pain or tenderness, height loss and a slight curving of the upper back. As the spinal bones weaken, they slowly collapse under the weight of the upper body, causing a curving of the spine often called "dowager's hump."
Osteoporosis affects at least 10 million Americans, most of whom are women. More than 1.5 million osteoporosis-related fractures occur in the United States each year. Fifty percent of women older than 50 will experience such a painful and crippling fracture.
You should have a physical exam once a year in which your height is measured. All women age 65 and older, or younger women who have had a bone fracture, should be tested for bone mineral density no more than every two years. More frequent testing may be needed if new risk factors occur. Testing may be suggested for postmenopausal women younger than 65 who have one or more risk factors for osteoporosis.
Bone mineral density tests measure bone mass in the heel, spine, hip, hand or wrist to get a sense of bone density in other parts of your skeleton. The devices used for the tests vary, but all involve X-rays or beams from other energy sources. You may be asked to lie on your side or back for the X-ray, or you may sit and place your hand or foot in a cylinder. The tests, which can take anywhere from 1 to 40 minutes, can help detect problems before a fracture occurs and can help determine whether you have osteoporosis, your rate of bone loss and your risk of a future fracture. There are several ways to measure bone density all painless and safe.
Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA)
DXA is typically used to measure the bone density of your spine or hip. It is the most accurate test currently available.
During the test, you lie down for 3 to 10 minutes while an arm-like device (an imager) scans your body. This test exposes you to a very small amount of radiation less than the amount in a normal chest X-ray.
After the test, you will be given a T-score, a number that is calculated by comparing your DXA test results to the bone density of an average healthy 30-year-old. A negative score means you have thinner bones than an average 30-year-old. A positive score means your bones are stronger and thicker than an average 30-year-old.
If your T-score is -1 to -2.5, you have low bone mass and are at increased risk for osteoporosis. A score of -2.5 or lower means you have osteoporosis. A low T-score may mean that you are at increased risk of a bone fracture. In rare cases, low T-scores are caused by other medical conditions.
Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT)
This method uses both computed tomography scanning and computer software to test the bone density of the spine. This test provides three-dimensional images and requires only a little more radiation than a DXA test.
Quantitative Ultrasonography
This test uses sound waves instead of radiation to measure bone density. During this test, you place your bare foot on the machine and sound waves are transmitted through your heel. Although this test may help predict the risk of fracture in your spine or hip, it often is not as accurate as other tests because bone mass is not the same in all areas of the body.
Bones go through a constant state of loss and regrowth. As a person ages, more bone loss occurs than bone growth. This can lead to a condition called osteoporosis, in which bones become thin and fragile and can easily fracture or break.
There are many treatment options available to help reduce the risk of fracture. Some need to be taken daily, some weekly, some monthly. Annual injections are also available. No matter what dosing method you choose, the earlier treatment is started, the better it works.
Bisphosphonates are medications used to prevent and treat osteoporosis. In cases of prevention, they are used to slow bone breakdown. To treat osteoporosis, they are used to help increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures. These medications must be taken on an empty stomach. Although rare, side effects may include nausea, stomach pain and digestive problems.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators
Women also can take a type of drug known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) to help prevent or treat some of the bone problems that can occur during menopause. Raloxifene is a type of SERM that helps strengthen bone tissue.
SERMs may be a good choice for women who need protection from osteoporosis, but cannot or do not want to take hormone therapy. This may include:
- Women at risk of breast cancer
- Women who cannot tolerate the side effects of hormone therapy
- Women who do not need relief from symptoms of menopause
- Hormone Therapy
Starting estrogen at any time after menopause can help prevent bone loss. It can be a good choice for women who also have symptoms of menopause. However, it only protects bones for as long as you use it. When you stop taking hormone therapy, bone loss resumes. You and your doctor should decide whether this treatment is right for you.
Other Options
Calcitonin is another medication used to slow bone breakdown. It can be given by injection or nasal spray. Parathyroid hormone may also be used to increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.
Risk Factors
Women have a greater risk of developing osteoporosis than men because of menopause and because their bones are smaller and lighter than men's bones. Certain medications (see below) and medical conditions increase the risk of osteoporosis. The following factors can increase the risk of fractures caused by osteoporosis:
- Personal history of fracture'Family history of osteoporosis
- Caucasian race
- Dementia
- Poor nutrition
- Low body weight
- Early menopause in women younger than 45 (Bone loss increases after menopause because the ovaries stop making estrogen, which protects against bone loss.)
- Removal of ovaries (If a woman has her ovaries removed before menopause, the sudden decrease in estrogen can result in rapid bone loss unless she takes a preventive treatment, such as estrogen.)

Prevention: Diet, Exercise and Avoiding Falls
It is hard to grow new bone after it is lost, so prevention is important. Slowing bone loss helps build strong bones. To prevent osteoporosis, try to build and keep as much bone as you can by doing weight-bearing exercises and choosing foods with enough calcium and vitamin D. After menopause, your doctor may suggest medication to protect against bone loss if your bones show signs of early osteoporosis.
Bone loss can increase if your diet is low in calcium. If there is too little calcium in the bloodstream, it will be taken from the bones to supply the rest of the body.
Good sources of calcium are dairy products, such as milk and yogurt, leafy green vegetables, nuts, seafood, and calcium-fortified juices and cereals. Yet most women do not consume enough calcium in their diets. In fact, many women only consume half of the calcium they need each day. If you're not getting enough through your diet, you may need to take calcium supplements. Women younger than 50 need 1,000 mg of calcium a day; women 50 years and older need 1,200 mg of calcium a day. The National Institutes of Health recommends 1,500 mg of calcium per day for postmenopausal women who do not take hormone therapy an all women older than 65. Be aware, however, that your body can only absorb about 500 mg of calcium at one time. If you take more, try to divide it into two doses.
Calcium cannot be absorbed without vitamin D. Milk fortified with vitamin D, including lactose-free milk, is one of the best sources. Sunlight is another. Just 15 minutes of sunlight a day helps your skin produce vitamin D and activates vitamin D in your body. You also can use vitamin D supplements. The recommended daily amount of vitamin D is 10 micrograms for women ages 51 to 70 and 15 micrograms for women older than 70.
Exercise increases bone mass before menopause and slows bone loss after menopause. Just as muscles become stronger with regular exercise, so do bones. Bones are strengthened when the muscles pull on them. Bone loss will occur any time the bones are not used, and it becomes worse in people who are bedridden or inactive for a long time. Active women have higher bone density than women who do not exercise.
Most aerobic exercise is good for the heart and bones. To help prevent bone loss, do weight-bearing exercises, such as low-impact or step aerobics, brisk walking or tennis. Even walking several blocks each day will slow bone loss. A little bit of exercise is better than none at all. If you have questions about the best exercise program for you, talk with your doctor or a professional who knows about health and exercise.
Find out about a medically supervised weight loss program at Dr. Margie Corney's office.
Avoiding Falls
To reduce the risks of injuries from falls, women with osteoporosis should:
- Learn good posture
- Avoid twisting, bending and lifting
- Make their homes safe by removing throw rugs or using nonskid backings, making sure rooms are well lit, and using handrails by stairs and in the bathroom
- Check and correct vision and balance problems
- Review medications for side effects that may affect balance and stability

A small but interesting archive of material relating to Alfred Lord Tennyson and Charles Dickens has turned up at London-based Chiswick Auctions, consigned by a distant relation of the Ellis family. The product of that family's long-term association with the two authors, the collection contains correspondence, envelopes, clipped autographs, stereoscopic photographs, a rare program pamphlet (1868) produced for a series of Dickens' "Farewell Readings," and a pencil drawing of 48 Doughty Street by a member of the Tennyson family, inscribed: "Home of Charles Dickens…. from Wilderness Aug 3rd 1870," among other notable pieces.
Charles Ellis was a wine merchant with literary aspirations. According to a footnote in The Letters of Alfred Lord Tennyson (1987), where an October 1853 letter from the author to Ellis is recorded, "For many years [Ellis] purveyed wines to Dickens, vastly more knowledgeable and discriminating than Tennyson, but, himself a poet (Richmond and Other Poems, 1845), he seems … to have presented them to Tennyson, perhaps annually, as a sort of oblation." Indeed another letter from Tennyson, written in 1866, thanks Ellis "for your Christmas gift of choice wines."
The personal and longstanding connection between the correspondents may well be enough to encourage bidders toward the £4,000-6,000 ($5,000-7,400) estimate on Wednesday.

Five Tips on How to Communicate with your Residential Architect
Longtime readers of this blog already know the premium every one of us at Morgante Wilson Architects place on communication with our clients. Along with frank conversations about budget and priorities, we welcome crazy ideas, Houzz-inspired wish lists, and yes, even an occasionally uncomfortable dialogue. Because here on Chicago's North Shore, our clients have high expectations – and the only way to ensure we deliver on those expectations is to engage in clear and open communication every step of the way. Here are five tips to enhance communication with your own residential architect.
Make time for the project.
Remodeling a house, or building a new one from the ground up, is a big commitment. You'll want to dedicate serious time for it, rather than treating it as a to-do list item that gets squeezed in between other obligations. Likewise, make sure your architect understands your time is valuable. At Morgante Wilson, we insist clients to meet us at their job site once a week. It's the best way we know to ensure a project progresses smoothly from start to finish.
Ask, "What's your preferred method of communication?"
A residential architect who promises to email a response to your questions within 24 hours may be a poor communication fit if you expect to receive an immediate answer by text. Avoid frustration by discussing your preferences upfront, and agreeing to expectations on both sides.
Embrace the breakdown.
It may be uncomfortable, and it might make you unhappy, but in the long run the very breakdown that's causing a hiccup in your project will eventually yield a breakthrough that solves the issue and gets the project back on track. So go with it!
Demand a weekly schedule.
Ask your architect to come prepared to weekly site meetings with a weekly schedule – a written document that tracks every element of the project, and notes exactly who is accountable for its completion. Be wary of a residential architect who doesn't work this way, as it can be a red flag for disorganization. Even very good architects can be very bad business people. You don't want to work with someone who is unable to manage their staff, their finances, their projects – or your home.
Tell us what you want.
Then let us figure out how to make it happen. Say you're after a mudroom addition. It's not necessary for you to stare at your kitchen, trying to decide which walls should come down to make room for that mudroom. Just tell us you want a mudroom, and we'll think up myriad ways to give you one. Maybe one that even accommodates a pet shower or an extra washer and dryer – things that may never have crossed your mind, but will make your day-to-day a whole lot easier.
Each of these ideas offers an easy, common sense approach to enhancing communication with your architect to ensure the most efficient – and enjoyable – experience possible. Want to learn more? Just give us a call!

Sir Tom Jones has put swearing during the live final of The Voice UK down to "shock".
The Welsh singer and coach on the ITV show was heard saying "f*** me" as it was announced that his act, Into The Ark , had made it through to the final two of the competition on Sunday night's show.
As he launched the band's first UK headline tour for later this year, Sir Tom said of the incident: "I was so shocked and because I believe in them so much.
"It gives me a boost to know that the public believe like I do in these boys."
The duo eventually finished second with Jennifer Hudson's act Mo Adeniran taking the show's crown and securing a coveted Polydor recording contract.
Into The Ark, made up of Dane Lloyd and Taylor Jones, will embark on a 16-date tour across the UK starting on May 12 before supporting Sir Tom on his tour later this year.
The Welsh-formed group will make stops in London, Leeds, Edinburgh and Cardiff ahead of joining the What's New Pussycat? hitmaker for another 10 concerts, beginning with a performance at the Sherwood Pines in Nottinghamshire on June 24.
Lloyd, 25, said: "We can't believe it. We're so grateful to have the best mentor you could ever have ... and we get to go on tour with Tom."
Jones, 21, added: "Does life get much better than touring with such a great guy and a Welsh legend?"
Sir Tom said: "We're going to do some shows together.
"It's a tour that I'm going on and the boys are coming with me. Definitely looking forward to having the guys on board. Can't wait."

"I wear red for my mother-in-law Armella, twenty-five years ago she left us much too soon. She appeared a healthy and loving mother and grandmother yet one day things halted and our lives were forever changed."
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) February 18, 2016
Mending broken hearts! This month, Cupid takes aim for lovers. American Hearth Month is all about raising awareness by wearing red to decrease deaths evoked by heart disease and stroke.
It is evident that this is a prevailing health concern for both men and women. In fact, every minute a person passes away from coronary heart disease. This being the very reason as to why this is the foremost cause of death within the United States. For a broader realization of the impact heart disease has in the United States, understand that each year 630,000 people pass away from it. The numbers are telling, however, it is apparent that many are unaware of what they can do to reduce their risks. For many justifiable reasons heart disease has been given the nickname the "silent killer" due to the fact that most symptoms remain unapparent until it is far too late. However, heart disease does not necessarily have to become one's sentence to death. We can all take initiatives to guard our hearts by pursuing proper medical care promptly. Development of knowledge, raised awareness, lifestyle choices and being well-informed in regards to what needs to be done if you believe someone is indeed suffering from a heart attack before you. For this can have a significant impact in the prevention of heart disease or saving someone's life.
February is the month of love, and is an ideal time to draw greater attention to and raise awareness for heart disease. Speaking about heart disease and its impact it has had on himself and his family is PinMart's Director Steve Geyer: "I wear red for my mother-in-law Armella, twenty-five years ago she left us much too soon. She appeared a healthy and loving mother and grandmother yet one day things halted and our lives were forever changed. Unbeknownst to us and even her was the knowledge that she was born with a heart defect that ultimately lead to the tearing of the two chambers between her heart. Back then regular testing and heart disease wasn't a table topic however, today things have changed and now each February we celebrate her life and wear our heart disease awareness ribbon pin in her honor to raise awareness for heart disease that is very much so the silent killer."
The utmost important stride towards a healthier heart is to quit smoking. Everyone is aware of the hazards accompanied with smoking however, quitting and choosing to say no to smoking initially is difficult for many. In addition to smoking, other risk factors for heart disease include: poor diet, lack of exercise, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. All of which can be managed. In end it comes down to you to take initiative. This Valentines Day, why not give your heart a simple gift? The gift of health.

The Future of Wild Europe Public Talk
Posted on : September 2, 2016
On Wednesday 14th September, the ENHANCE ITN will welcome two distinguished speakers to give the public talks: President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson of Iceland, and environmentalist and oceanographer Jean-Michel Cousteau. To learn more about these fascinating discussions, the abstracts can be found below. [su_heading size="14" align="left" margin="10"]President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson of Iceland[/su_heading] Iceland has only been inhabited by humans for roughly the last 1000 years. Since then, it has been subjected to continual attempts to "un-wild" its large swathes of untouched land. This poses a series of questions over how Iceland may be "re-wilded" in the future: namely, what are the benefits of returning the land to its pre-inhabited state? How would this affect the populations of the country, both human and non-human? Can woods be regrown, and wetlands restored? How can we minimise human impact on areas that have suffered from the development of infrastructure? In his keynote speech, President of Iceland Guðni Th. Jóhannesson will be addressing these questions, and exploring the story of Iceland's wild lands and how they have been altered by human settlers over the last millennium.

A Hint of Danger in the Forest – The New York Times
Posted on : April 6, 2016
Photo Credit Andrew Zuckerman A few years ago, I walked through an English forest with an old friend who told me there was something living in it that I had never seen before. Intrigued, I stood with him by a barbed-wire fence running across leaf litter dappled with sunlight. It was very quiet — just the sifting of a faint breeze through the trees and a robin singing from a holly bush. My friend whistled, called, then whistled again, and I felt a flicker of recognition as a dark shape flitted between trees about 60 or 70 yards away and then ran toward us. It was a wild boar. I've seen images of them all my life: razor-backed beasts on ancient vases, in illustrations in medieval manuscripts, slumped in front of men with rifles in old trophy photographs. And now here one was, called into the real world. This creature was not what I expected. It had the forward-menacing shoulders of a baboon and the brute strength and black hide of a bear. But it was not really anything like a bear, and what surprised me most was that it seemed nothing like a pig (boars are the wild ancestors...Click to read the full article
