A Mother's Gaze: How Mothers Affect Our Inner Growth
You learn the world from your mother's face. The mother's eyes, especially, are a child's refuge, the mirror where children confirm their existence. From the doting reflection of its mother's eyes, a baby draws its earliest, wordless lessons about connection, care, and love. And about how being ignored—which every child is sooner or later—makes the good feeling disappear.
The mother's gaze, or the father's (if he is the primary caretaker), determines more than you might realize about how you come to see yourself, your place in the world, and the moral nature of people around you. "The meeting eyes of love," novelist George Eliot called this all-important connection.
Learning Empathy from the Mother's Gaze
According to Dan Siegel, a psychologist who specializes in early parental bonding, every child yearns for, and must have, this eye contact for healthy emotional development to occur. Siegel, who founded a new field of research known as interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB), has proven that the mother's gaze plays a critical role in how we develop empathy.
"Repeated tens of thousands of times in the child's life, these small moments of mutual rapport [serve to] transmit the best part of our humanity—our capacity for love—from one generation to the next," Siegel has discovered. Without such mirrored transmission, children deprived of the mother's gaze are likely to feel disconnected from others later in life. Many of them will struggle to heal this disconnect in destructive ways ranging from dysfunctional love to substance abuse.
Carl Jung described addiction as "a prayer gone awry"; indeed, there's an obvious link between the emptiness caused by a mother's absence and the spiritual impulse itself, with its goals of benediction, acceptance, and unity. Not long before his death, the late Pope John Paul II, who lost his own mother at an early age, was intrigued enough by IPNB—especially Dan Siegel's work on the mother's gaze—to invite Siegel to the Vatican for a private meeting to discuss how the pontiff's being orphaned had impacted his psychological and spiritual life.
Siegel suggests that that the visual interaction between mother and child primes the moral organ in visceral ways. "Through mirroring, attachment to caregivers helps the immature brain use the mature functions of the parent's brain to organize its own processes," he told a journalist. "We learn to care, quite literally, by observing the caring behavior of our parents toward us." By the age of seven months, these earliest attachments have led to specific organizational changes in an infant's behavior and brain function. Having found a secure base in the world, according to psychologist John Bowlby, the founder of attachment theory, the child learns emotional resilience. If the caregiver is responsive to the child's signals and interacts with sensitivity, a secure attachment will be formed, reinforcing the child's own positive emotional states and teaching him or her to modulate negative states.
Negative Outcomes of Being Deprived of the Mother's Gaze
Deprived of the mother's gaze, the area of the brain that coordinates social communication, empathic attunement, emotional regulation, and stimulus appraisal (the establishment of value and meaning) will be faulty. Such children are likely to develop "insecure attachment" along with all sorts of subsequent losses in self-esteem and feelings of belonging. Infants whose mothers deliberately ignore them in laboratory experiments become agitated and distressed. Rather than crawl around like the babies being paid attention to, they stop exploring the environment and either brood alone or desperately solicit their mother for attention. Not surprisingly, children of mothers who display postpartum depression tend to be anxious and distressed themselves.
We've come a long way in understanding how harmful parental distance can be to children's emotional and moral development. Not long ago, popular wisdom held that in order for children to be self-reliant and well behaved, parents should treat their kids as miniature adults. Before mirror neurons proved the vital link between empathy and parental attention, it was believed that children (little tabula rasas) were best initiated right away into the sort of alienation they could expect as grown-ups. "There is a sensible way of treating children," behaviorist John Watson counseled in 1928. "Never hug and kiss them. Never let them sit in your lap. If you must, kiss them once on the forehead when they say goodnight and shake hands with them in the morning."
How different this withholding approach is from that of the Kung people of the Kalahari, whose mothers deliver children alone without anesthetic, stay in almost constant physical contact with them for several months, hold them in a vertical position during most of their waking hours—the better to see them face to face—and nurse several times an hour for the first three or four years! Is it any surprise that the Kung are among the most peaceful tribes in Africa? Not only is touch "both the alpha and omega of affection," as philosopher William James famously wrote, it's connected to our body's production of the hormone oxytocin—also known as the molecule of love—which the vagus nerve instructs the brain to release during lovemaking, nursing, and other connection moments.
Evolution of the Mother's Gaze
Regardless of how they're raised, no other offspring in the animal kingdom come close to the intimacy shared by human parents and their young. Our unique evolution requires this close-knit bond. When humans finally, permanently, stood up on our hind legs, moving from tree life to flat savannah ground, Homo sapiens developed much narrower hips in order to walk upright. With the woman's pelvis narrowed for walking, human babies needed to be born prematurely in order to squeeze their already enormous heads through the narrower passage. Whereas other mammals are born only when their brains are more or less ready to control their bodies, human babies can do nothing for themselves. Once out of womb, these giant brains attached to helpless baby bodies need constant care, and this parental relationship—with its manipulations, give and take, and demands for justice, respect, and loyalty—becomes our ethical kindergarten.
In the complex relationship between parents and children, our earliest bonding patterns are formed. Our first glimmers of being loved by our mother, thereby feeling ourselves to be lovable, are indissolubly linked to our ability to care for others in our maturity. As anyone who's been a parent can attest, this love requires levels of patience, stamina, and selflessness beyond anything demanded by any other relationship. Luckily, the rewards can be equally epic. Through the mirrored love in our parents' eyes, we learn surrender, devotion, and trust. We also receive glimmers of the higher love that is our birthright as spiritual beings.
There's a wonderful parable in Hindu lore that illustrates the importance of the mother's gaze to recognizing ourselves as children of this higher power. The unenlightened individual is compared to a baby sobbing in its mother's lap. The mother strokes the baby's head and rocks it against her enormous breast with infinite love and infinite patience. When at last the baby can cry no more, it quiets down and looks into the face of the luminous mother who has it in her arms. The baby can feel her radiance and begins to see, for the very first time, who and what it truly is, progeny of this great mother, joined to her in body and spirit, never abandoned and never alone. When the baby looks at her, the mother smiles, and seeing the beauty of her love the child learns to smile, too.

There is so much we have to learn about the marine life and www.biomarinus.co.nz can help us learn about the marine life and beyond. We know how important it is to take care of our environment and how important it is that we stay updated with what is happening to mother nature.
The Earth is a channel of provision of everything we need from the air we breathe to the food we eat so it is extra important that we take an extra concern into knowing how we can involve ourselves in its advantage. We are more than thankful that we have this kind of home that makes us feel comfortable and have everything we need to live. We know how important it is that we take care of this wonderful earth that we have now or else we would lose something that means our life.
And we are taking extra care for our earth today so that the next generation would still be able to benefit from it. We do it not only for ourselves but also to others as well. We do not want to ruin the future of others so we must start investing now for our good present and a better future for others.

A case study from the Salt River Forensic Pathology Services Laboratory, Cape Town, South Africa.
Bronchiolitis is a respiratory tract infection of the bronchioles, the tiny terminal branches of the airways in the lungs. It is usually caused by a viral infection and mostly affects infants and young children because of their small airways. Although it is generally a mild disease, it can develop into a more severe disease that requires hospitalization.
Case Presentation
A 3-month old male infant was taken to the GP for fever and stomach cramps. The infant had been a full-term baby, delivered naturally, with a birth-weight of 2.3 kg. The GP diagnosed colic and the baby was sent home to be treated with Panado (paracetamol, an anti-pyretic) syrup and Scopex (a medication containing hyoscine, used to prevent intestinal cramping, and as a general sedative). A week later, the infant died.
Imaging and Diagnosis
An external examination of the body showed no evidence of trauma to the body. A Lodox full-body X-ray was performed prior to autopsy. It showed bilateral pulmonary infiltrates (i) with a mottled reticular pattern and air bronchogram (b), suggestive of bronchiolitis.
Since no foul play was suspected, and the X-ray image showed a pulmonary infection, an internal post-mortem examination was not performed. The cause of death was given as natural disease, most likely bronchiolitis.
Bronchiolitis typically occurs during the first two years of life, with peak occurrence at about three to six months of age. It is more common in males, and in children who live in crowded conditions. The first symptoms may be confused with those of a common cold, and include a cough, a mild fever and a runny nose.
The pathogens that cause bronchiolitis are spread in droplet form, either from fluid from an infected person's nose or mouth, and can become airborne through sneezing or coughing. Therefore, children in close proximity to other infected children, such as in a crèche, are quite likely to contract the infection.
An external examination of the body showed no signs of trauma, and neither did a radiograph. However, the Lodox X-ray image revealed bilateral pulmonary infection with air entrapment (bronchogram) in the bronchioles. Considering the age of the infant, its medical history and socio-economic status, all indications were that this child died of natural causes, namely bronchiolitis.
Radiography and an external examination ruled out trauma as the cause of death: no obvious injuries, bruises or fractures were detected. The X-ray image, supported by the medical history, was sufficient to rule out foul play and to confirm a suspected case of bronchiolitis. Thus, an internal post-mortem examination was not deemed necessary. This saved time in the mortuary and freed up a forensic pathologist to attend to another case.
It is difficult to quantify the value to the next-of-kin in this case of not having an autopsy. In many instances, often for religious reasons, family members do not want an autopsy to be performed. In the case of an infant, there may also be some comfort for the parent knowing that the body was not cut.

Photographic Cartoons Can't Hurt Anyone
Hollywood/Lookout Mountain Studio style special effects are no substitute for real weaponry. The highly edited military footage you are about to watch would seem to be the result of film techniques and are not actual weapons as advertised. Even some of the aircraft you are about to see are not as real as claimed. Film making techniques have been fooling eyes and minds for over a century.
It seems that such weaponry is more the product of Hollywood fantasy than any real military industrial effort.
Models Of Military Jets & Magic Missiles Can't Harm Anyone
Missiles, rockets, explosions and flying aircraft have long been emulated on screen with believable miniature film illusions. This footage is no different. The smoke moves too fast, the scale and perspective tends to be off and many of the explosions are obviously Hollywood special effect work. The rockets in this footage tend to move a lot faster than the rockets we see in the NASA footage. This logical contradiction is more evidence of fakery. The fact is the NASA footage is as fake as everything else. All of this propaganda is made of very short clips of special effect footage that are edited together to form a cohesive visual narrative. This is all an illusion, of course, but most people have been long conditioned by authoritative voice over narration to accept highly edited cartoon special effects as real. The real weapons of mass destruction are the culturally manipulative mental weaponry of the governmental approved multimedia news/noise machine.
Those of Us Serving In The Military Are Subject To Being Constantly Drilled With Fictional War Game Simulations Whether We Know It Or Not
It's not like most of the military personal can claim to watch the missiles launch or anything like that. Most spend their time in front of a computer screen. This is how the "magic" is done. Screens filter more so than reveal and computer military simulation is an old trick.
Do Not Fear Miniature Film Effects
Live action footage, real world photography and Hollywood crafted cartoon illusions have long been composited together to create (somewhat) believable imagery. Once you know what to look for you can tell miniature effects work from real footage. The Cold War era footage was done before computer generated imagery took over the field, so the illusions are easier to discern.
Relative proportion, camera perspective and the relative velocity vs distance, matter.
Army Air Defense Command (ARADCOM) - 1961 United States Army Educational Documentary - WDTVLIVE42
Precise guided missile weaponry is nothing but cartoonish nonsense.
Computers Are Good For Playing War Games, Not Combat Ready For Real War
Even computer technology that is meant to do one thing crashes and fails. Our Apple TV never works right. I find it hard to believe that the Military would rely on computers to control weaponry at all. Considering all the times computers crash and freeze and otherwise fail to work as advertised, I'd say it's safe to say that the Military uses computers to simulate war more than actually using computers to conduct war. Military claims of super magical computer guided missile weaponry would seem to be the stuff of the imagination.
Military simulation - Wikipedia
Lookout Mountain Air Force Station - Wikipedia
"A miniature effect is a special effect created for motion pictures and television programs using scale models. Scale models are often combined with high speed photography or matte shots to make gravitational and other effects appear convincing to the viewer. The use of miniatures has largely been superseded by computer-generated imagery in the contemporary cinema.
Where a miniature appears in the foreground of a shot, this is often very close to the camera lens — for example when matte painted backgrounds are used. Since the exposure is set to the object being filmed so the actors appear well lit, the miniature must be over-lit in order to balance the exposure and eliminate any depth of field differences that would otherwise be visible. This foreground miniature usage is referred to as forced perspective. Another form of miniature effect uses stop motion animation.
Use of scale models in the creation of visual effects by the entertainment industry dates back to the earliest days of cinema. Models and miniatures are copies of people, animals, buildings, settings and objects. Miniatures or models are used to represent things that do not really exist, or that are too expensive or difficult to film in reality, such as explosions, floods or fires."
A Towering Super Power Failure
Nation states are as fake as the super weaponry of the so-called world super powers. Governments work for the same global banking elite managerial caste that manage the whole global show. Government does not serve humanity, we exist to serve it. Wars and other types of conflict are scripted contrivances designed to keep us believing in existential threats and the need for protective government we do not need. Wars are designed to keep us as wage slaves turning the wheel of industry for all time.

James Bond 007 Diamonds Are Forever Chinese Man Catches Fire
Spectacular Action
"That's not to say 007 didn't serve up some spectacular action in the meantime, nor has he failed to do so since. In The Living Daylights, Bond drops a bomb from a Hercules transport aircraft on to a bridge in order to thwart an advancing convoy of Russian tanks. In this extract from Nora Lee's article 007×4 in Cinefex 33, veteran special effects supervisor John Richardson describes the visual sleight of hand employed to create the shot:
"There never was a bridge like the one you see in the film. Well, there was a little bridge. Lengthwise it was the same as the one you see on screen, but heightwise it was at most fifteen or twenty feet above the river bed. We constructed a foreground miniature of the ravine and a different bridge. We used the existing bridge from the handrail down to the road level so that you could see vehicles driving along it, but everything beneath that was a miniature."
This use of miniatures – ever a staple of the Bond movies – continues to the present day. In Skyfall, the explosions at both the MI6 headquarters and Bond's family residence were enacted using models. Describing the former, here's an extract from Joe Fordham's article Old Dog, New Tricks in Cinefex 133:
"Chris Corbould's special effects team built a 14-foot-tall, ¼-scale miniature representing the central tower and offices of the MI6 building, and then rigged the structure with pyrotechnics. Visual effects supervisor Steve Begg oversaw the element shoot at Pinewood Studios, using a pair of Arri Alexa cameras running at high speed. Peerless Camera Company then composited the miniature explosion into plates of the real Secret Service building photographed from Vauxhall Bridge, and blended the miniature with additional pyrotechnics and CG debris." "
"The visual and special effects in these early years were the province of industry stalwarts such as Roy Field, Frank George, John Stears and Wally Veevers. There was even a brief contribution by legendary matte artist Albert Whitlock, who provided some essential scene-setting spectacle for Diamonds Are Forever, and whose paintings are showcased on Peter Cook's ever-reliable Matte Shot blog.
When Live and Let Die came along in 1973, the 007 team recruited Derek Meddings, whose modelmaking background with Gerry Anderson on shows such as Fireball XL5 and Thunderbirds allowed the "big set" visions of production designer Ken Adam to be realised in miniature form.
In this extract from Don McGregor's 1981 interview in Starlog 49, The Man Who Creates The Magic For James Bond, Meddings describes the submarine-swallowing supertanker seen in The Spy Who Loved Me:
"Nobody suspected that the supertanker was a miniature until the front opened, and then, lots of people still thought there was a boat that did actually have a front that opened. Even the people who were originally going to supply us with a real tanker went to the premiere of The Spy Who Loved Me and they had forgotten they had not rented their tanker to us. They said to the director or the producer, 'I can't remember when you used our tanker.' And he said, 'We never used your tanker.' There was never one shot in the whole film with a real tanker. We built our miniature tanker at Pinewood Studios; I had it built 63 feet long. It had a crew of three, all special effects men who ran it. We shipped it out to the Bahamas, and shot those scenes all at sea." "

HAT TIP: Suzanne Eovaldi
The following article appeared on the Conservative Daily Post on August 17th
Posted by Anthony Cesario
Earlier this week, a large "Unite the Right" protest was held in Charlottesville, Virginia. Unfortunately, the rally was disrupted by a massive amount of counter-protesters. Apparently, it looks like some of them were paid actors found on Craigslist for $25 an hour.
According to reports, Crowds on Demand, a Public Relations firm based in Los Angeles, recently posted an advertisement on Craigslist asking people in North Carolina to reach out if they're interested in being a paid actor or photographer. Specifically, the ad said, "Crowds on Demand, a Los Angeles-based Public Relations firm specializing in innovative events, is looking for enthusiastic actors and photographers in the Charlotte, NC area to participate in our events."
|Thugs on Demand
To clarify, they added, "our events include everything from rallies to protests to corporate PR stunts to celebrity scenes. The biggest qualification is enthusiasm, a 'can-do' spirit. Pay will vary by event but typically is $25+ per hour plus reimbursements for gas/parking/Uber/public transit."
However, Adam Swart, the CEO of Crowds on Demand, insisted that his organization was not involved in the event in any way. "We were not involved in any capacity with the recent tragic events in Charlottesville, Virginia. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those impacted by the violence," stated Swart, without providing any more details.
Unfortunately, paying actors to participate in protests is not a new tactic. During the protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline back in 2016, numerous Craiglist ads were posted for part-time and full-time paid protesters. One ad, for example, stated, "I will pay $1,000 cash to anyone who proves they quit their job to protest full time with me. I will also pay for travel and food as long as I can afford it for this [sic] people joining the long term fight."
|Adam Swart
The ad also mentioned that people who show up for just the first night will also get paid. Specifically, it said, "as for everyone else who shows the first night I will pay $50 cash for adults and $20 for each child you bring. If you are a BLM or anti-Trump you will also get paid to join my protest. We need to body's [sic]. Just tonight we shut down Veterans bridge. Get involved people save mother earth."

It dominates knowledge that there many kind of bed cushion. There's the common spring kind that is supported with typical cotton. There's the airbed. There's the visco-elastic foam filled out, memory foam pillow. One of the most approximately day kind is the latex foam filled pillow. These paddings fit the demands, wishes as well as spending plan strategies of the countless customers. There's the common spring kind for those that have in fact acquired themselves made use of to the earliest type of bed cushion. There's the blow up bed for those that would certainly enjoy to do without the essentially unsafe outcomes of springs as well as cushions. There's the memory foam for those that want to get the optimal body aid as well as benefit carried out in one bed cushion. There's the latex foam for those that could handle its included price. One will definitely have to obtain the total Memory foam bed mattress in order to value all the comforts of relaxing.
Points to consider in getting the total padding are the ease top-notch, the sheet, the supporting layers, the back support system, the framework in addition to the elevation.
The first indicate thoroughly choose in a total padding is the type of bed that an individual dream to obtain.
Blow-up cushion, in its entirety are made up of items that are unsusceptible to degeneration took into consideration that the contemporary kinds are made to be versatile to the consumers needs. In some instances, the bed cushion can be considerably loosened up or very firm. When acquiring blow-up bed mattress, one gets an entire strategy of the bed as well as air pumps that might either be electric or hand-operated.
In a foam bed cushion memory it is needed to consider the nonexistence of steel coil springs. This basic material lies in all of the conventional spring kind pillows. It has really to be remembered that memory foam pillows are anticipated to be constructed out of visco-elastic foams that do not call for any type of sort of spring to maintain it. It should be asked why springs are implied to be ended I superb paddings. The simple reaction is that the steel coils use almost the very same anxiety versus all the parts of the body, i.e. it does not fit the forms of the body where some have a lot more weight compared with others. This asserts a lot pertaining to the aid that spring made paddings might not supply to the clients.
Spring paddings are the least recommended due to the fact that they include steel coil springs that place method way too much tension that do not match the forms of the body in addition to their certain weights. The problem with this developed remains in truth the lack useful that might produce a good deal of injuries. Check out http://www.sleepjunkie.org/how-to-find-the-best-adjustable-bed/ to know more about mattress.
The full padding, in relation to ease may be either business or soft inning conformity with the option of the consumer. The sheet might be made from fibers, woollen, cottons along with polyesters as items. Fibers are best for those that could handle the extra benefit that it can supply. Woollens in addition to cottons use included cozy for those placed in amazing areas. Polyesters provide water resistance that can be advantageous for individuals with urinary system concerns in addition to for member of the family with old people and un-potty competent youngsters.

LA Times — The large metal cages are lined up in two rows under the blistering Central Valley sun just outside the prison walls. For maximum security inmates here, this is what counts as outdoor space.
Some inmates are placed in the cages with cellmates, but most are alone. One passes the time by pacing back and forth. Another does push-ups with the help of two prosthetic legs. Two men in adjacent cages discuss the Oakland Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers.
The inmates in this part of Corcoran State Prison — known as the Security Housing Unit, or SHU — are considered some of the most dangerous in California's prison system. Some are separated from the general population because of violent infractions like attacking a guard; others are deemed members of prison gangs.
Reporters visited Tuesday as the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation opened the doors to some of its most controversial facilities in the midst of heightened concern over prison conditions.
"It's a good thing to be transparent," Corcoran Warden Connie Gipson said.
Another tour will be held Thursday at Pelican Bay State Prison near the Oregon border.
Corcoran, which received its first inmates in 1988, was the first prison in California with an SHU. Inmates rarely leave their cells except to be escorted, handcuffed, to the outdoor cages for exercise several times a week.
The Security Housing Units around the state have been the focus of external scrutiny and prison protests. A two-month-long hunger strike that involved thousands of inmates ended in early September, and legislative hearings are scheduled to begin next week. A United Nations investigator is also seeking access to the prisons to review conditions in the isolation units. continue reading...

If science fiction and the modern cinema have taught us one lesson, it is to never, ever bring carnivorous, land-based dinosaurs back to life. Perhaps that is part of Bill Nye's motivation to choose a cuddlier, less life-threatening species to attempt to reanimate.
Steller's sea cow is not an obvious choice for anyone looking to relive the majesty of bygone animal epochs, but then you would hope a career science educator like Bill Nye would bring just such an unfamiliar animal back into the public imagination.
This species of manatee, studied and documented exclusively by Georg Steller, was the Big Friendly Giant of the ocean. Growing to a length of 10 meters and weighing between 5 and 10 tons, it lacked any teeth at all, instead depending on a padded mouth to chew kelp.
Sadly, it took human explores only 27 years to drive the Steller sea cow into extinction, according to the BBC. First discovered by Captain Vitus Bering of the Russian Navy in 1741, the last remaining sea cow was reportedly killed in 1768. One report of the time said that one sea cow could feed a crew of 33 men for a month, making the meat an incredibly rich source of food.
Here Bill Nye discusses potential technology that, by analyzing the DNA inside Steller sea cow bones, could provide enough genetic information to reintroduce the species into the wild. Because some species of manatee still live in the wild, scientists would not need to go full Jurassic Park. They could potentially supplement missing genetic material from actual manatees, not frogs.
Bill Nye's most recent book is Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World.
Christian: Hello Mr. Nye. My question is that even though it would never happen if you could go back in time to observe any prehistoric animal or animals which would it be? For me it would be the giant arthropods of the carboniferous.
Bill Nye: Well Christian, this is a fabulous hypothetical question but let's say we didn't go prehistoric. Let's say we went historic. The animal that I would like to see is the Steller's sea cow. This is a marine mammal apparently very much like a manatee but lived in salt water in the Bering Sea and then off Alaska or Siberia. And this thing was driven to extinction not too long ago, the 1700s. And I can imagine an extraordinary technology that will take the bones of one of these creatures which are in certain collections and somehow reproduce effectively enough the DNA of that animal and have him or her come back and start over again. Because that animal very recently was in the ecosystem up there, as I say up there, in Alaska and Siberia, the Bering Sea perhaps. That it might be a great thing to actually reintroduce it to the ecosystem. And it would be a spectacular deal. As far as going way back in time, what sells in movies? Giant ancient dinosaurs. I give you though that the huge millipedes that you were talking about, Christian, that's cool. But it's not first on my list. We'll see how it goes. It's a cool question.

ActiveX Controls Registry Information
There are a number of registry entries and flags that are used. Additionally, controls can support component categories to classify the features they provide.
Registry keys related to controls are marked with an asterisk in the following tree:
ProgID = <identifier>
InprocServer32 = <filename>.dll
*DefaultIcon = <filename>.<ext>,resourceID
*ToolboxBitmap32 = <filename>.<ext>,resourceID
*n = &Properties...
*MiscStatus = 0
TypeLib = {object_typelibID}
*Version = version_number
The DefaultIcon entry is used to identify an icon to be displayed when the control is minimized to an icon. The ExtractIcon function is used to get the icon from the .DLL or .EXE file specified.
The ToolboxBitmap32 entry identifies the module name and resource identifier for a 16*15 bitmap to use for the face of a toolbar or toolbox button. The standard Windows icon size is too large to be used for this purpose. This entry specifically supports control containers that have a design mode in which one selects controls and places them on a form being designed. For example, in Visual Basic, the control's icon is displayed in the Visual Basic toolbox during design mode.
The Control entry marks an object as a control. This entry is often used by containers to fill in dialog boxes. The container uses this sub-key to determine whether to include an object in a dialog box that displays controls.
The Insertable sub-key can also be used with controls, depending on whether the object can act only as an in-place embedded object with no special control features. Objects marked with Insertable appear in the Insert Object dialog box of their container. The Insertable entry generally means that the control has been tested with non-control containers.
Both the Insertable and the Control sub-keys are optional. A control can omit the Insertable sub-key if it not designed to work with older containers that do not understand controls. A control can omit the Control key if it is only designed to work with a specific container and thus does not wish to be inserted in other containers.
Controls should have a Properties verb, OLEIVERB_PROPERTIES, along with any other verbs they support. The Properties verb, as well as the standard verb OLEIVERB_PRIMARY, instructs the control to display its property sheet. The Properties verb is displayed as the Properties item on the container's menu when the control is active. This way, the control can display its own property page allowing some useful functionality to the end user, even if the container does not handle controls.
A control defines the MiscStatus key to describe itself to potential containers. The bits take on the values from OLEMISC, and controls add several values to this enumeration. See the OLEMISC enumeration values for more information. The client can obtain this information by calling IOleObject::GetMiscStatus without having to instantiate the control first.
Finally, Version describes the version of the control which should match the version of the type library associated with this control.
Also in the type information for a control, the attribute control marks a coclass entry as describing a control.

WASHINGTON -- In an effort to discourage unnecessary health services and control costs, the Bush administration plans to require hospitals to play a central role in arranging and billing for Medicare services, even when the services are performed outside a hospital.
A confidential memorandum summarizing new rules to be issued soon by the government was circulated this weekend at the Department of Health and Human Services.
It says the rules will require hospitals to "assume financial responsibility" for many of the medical goods and services that elderly people receive as outpatients after leaving the hospital.

The API provided by mod_ldap was already an "incomplete abstraction" - this is not something that has been changed in this commit to httpd, so I cannot see how this can be the basis of a veto, as above. The consensus vote in APR concluded precisely that the code was more appropriate for httpd than APR; you cannot twist the logic of that to pretend it implies the opposite. > Over and above that, given that httpd has no library component > common to all modules (well, it has, it's called APR), and given > that the httpd core is inappropriate for an LDAP portability > library, the only place to put the LDAP bindings is in mod_ldap, > which means we either have to accept the module ordering problems > that result, or we have to create optional functions for every > single LDAP API call, and if we do that, we end up solving the > reason apr_ldap was removed from APR in the first place. a) "httpd core is inappropriate for an LDAP portability library" -> this is an opinion, not technical justification for a veto. b) "we end up solving the reason" I don't understand that sentence, can you rephrase? > In addition, we moved all portability code out of httpd in v2.0, it > is a huge step backwards to go back on that effort.

I agree with that, but I also think this change is a significant improvement. Merely stating "it is ugly" is not sufficient basis for a veto. > This is the essence of my veto.

The Hill of Tara (Temair) Tours
Ancient Irish mythology tells that 142 kings reigned from this mount in prehistoric times and Temair was renowned as the 'sacred place of dwelling for the gods'. Legend dictates that Saint Patrick, patron Saint of Ireland, also visited the Hill, and a statue of him still reigns proud at the top.
To make the most of a visit to Temair, head first to the Hill's visitor center, set inside a disused church, where an audio-visual presentation will fill you in on the area's majestic heritage. Exploring the landscape, you'll uncover a host of interesting ancient relics including a number of passage tombs and ceremonial enclosures, Neolithic burial mounds and a sizable temple constructed from over 300 wooden posts. Make sure you don't miss the 'Stone of Destiny', an ancient coronation stone that remains one of Tara's most famous monuments.
Entry to the site is free but the rough terrain means you'll need to scramble over ditches and up slippery grass mounds, so don't forget your hiking boots! Best of all are the views and Tara's summit offers an expansive panorama of the landscaped surroundings – clamber up the hill at sunrise or sunset for the most dramatic view.

Moeen Ali claims England (9/1 to win 2015 ICC World Cup) are gaining momentum and could be surprise contenders at next year's World Cup.
Ali played a major role in England's Test series victory over India during the summer as he took crucial wickets to help level the series.
His figures of six for 67 in the second Test gave England a much-needed boost as they went on to win the series 3-1, quietening talk of a crisis in Alastair Cook's squad.
Whilst India (5/1 to win 2015 ICC World Cup) won the following one-day international series, Ali is confident England are improving ahead of the World Cup next year and believes the conditions in Australia could help them.
"We have a good chance. We've got some good players and Australia will suit us with their type of wickets more than people think," Ali told the London Evening Standard.
"We were a bit rusty playing Test cricket throughout the summer and then we came up against a very good Indian side.
"This India team are number one. By the end of it, we beat them in the final one-day game [after the series had been lost] and the T20. So we felt we were getting better towards the end."
England take on Sri Lanka in a five-match ODI series starting next month (Sri Lanka 4/9, England 7/4 – Series Winner) as part of 11 games leading up to the World Cup.
"The more games we play we can get some momentum," added Ali, who is 9/1 to be England's top series batsman against Sri Lanka.

You've waited your whole life for this day, dreamed of every little moment since being a young girl, and now your big day finally arrives… and it all goes wrong! After Nathalie Lout was let down by her dress-maker with moments to spare till she was to walk down the aisle, she had to take matters into her own hands.
Nathalie knew something was wrong when she had not heard from her dressmaker the Friday before.
After several attempts at calling them and getting no answer, she said, 'My sisters, visiting from France for the nuptials, waited at the shop as late as they could on the morning of the wedding – but to no avail'.
It was at that moment that Nathalie and the groom, John Corcocan, called Courtyard Bridal Boutique to explain their situation and ask for immediate assistance.
While many brides have their wedding dresses prepared months in advance, this bridal boutique came to the rescue and the boutique's team brought a number of gowns, as well as a sewing machine, straight to the wedding venue.
With the nuptials set to begin at 11:30am, the boutique's team arrived to find the bride in nothing but a plain slip, and an obvious look of disappointment.
However, the team found a suitable dress, a plain satin gown by Pronovias, named 'Niagara'. After a little trim and a few bra cups added, they were good to go!
Such a frantic and stressful situation could have resulted in a number of guests left without seeing the bride walk down the aisle that morning.
However, the boutique's team were not leaving without a happy bride wearing one of their gowns, and after a call to say the bride may be running a little late, Nathalie was ready to walk down the aisle by midday.
The question remains, however, what ever happened to her original dressmaker? Well, according to Nathalie, who frantically tried to call them on the run-up to her wedding day and got no response.
She said, 'I still don't know what happened to my original dress. I had my final fitting about 10 days earlier and was told that the dress would be ready on either the Thursday or Friday before the wedding and that they would contact me when it was ready."
Although the new dress was a different style to the original, Nathalie was still a happy bride. 'The dress was incredible and such a difference to what I thought I was going to have to wear. While I tried to stay calm – I did break down in tears when I first saw it. So many people told me I looked 'stunning' and they could not believe that it was not the original dress, as it looked perfect on me.'

A web hosting service means Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. The companies that provide space on web servers are called web hosting companies. There are different kinds of web hosting services. The basic service is web page and small scale file hosting. Single page hosting is generally sufficient for personal web pages.
A website hosting is essential part of launching website on World Wide Web. In Pakistan there are number of companies that provide web hosting services on international servers. These companies are dealing clients not only in Pakistan but also internationally. Pakistan has emerged as one of the best service providers in IT. Pakistan web hosting companies use the international servers of USA and manage the web hosting issues in Pakistan very well. Web hosting companies in Pakistan have got all the skills required to manage web hosting in Lahore, Pakistan and we see every day thousands of websites are launched on World Wide Web. The web hosting companies in Pakistan are providing quality services to its local clients and contributing tremendously in making of Pakistan as the leader in information technology.
Now Pakistan is able to deal all kinds of projects and self made companies of Pakistan are yielding good business. Though there is not substantial support from the state to help people to progress in information technology but yet they are making its mark on international fronts which is amazing and worth appreciation. With this progress in Information Technology, Pakistan is attracting the international clients to deal with Pakistani companies as the services in Pakistan are quite cheap but quality is high. This has caused the international clients to outsource their projects to Pakistan. The great difference in prices has made Pakistan one of the attractive places to get IT projects done by Pakistani companies. The future of information technology in Pakistan quite bright and in future Pakistani companies are going to play a major role in the business.

You are busy. I am busy.
As we know, we wear these statements like badges of accomplishment in our society, in these early years of the 21st century. That's not likely to change significantly for some time.
Through the busyness, we seek clarity and direction. As I transition from defining myself primarily as a consultant to a renewed focus on the "writer" and "student of urban ideas" labels, I have written and found a few pieces that may interest you.
On Life As A Human, I have posted two new blog items. One is an update on my attempts at simplifying my surroundings. Things were not going smoothly when I wrote this – but that's the reality of any attempt at change.
The second new post is a bit of a rant (would love to do this, ala Rick Mercer, with video) about the growing challenges of public libraries in North America. Thanks to many Twitter followers who have kept me in the loop, in response to my earlier article on this subject. A quick scan of the #libraries hashtag on Twitter will give you a glimpse of the problem.
So here's that rant about the importance of libraries.
Finally, I'm intrigued by the common themes and challenges in cities across North America, as we grapple with what our cities will become. Ours is a highly urbanized society and only getting more so. There seems to be a (modest?) groundswell of interest in comfortable, walkable neighbourhoods as opposed to more freeways and big box stores. Yet much of our urban planning still delivers wider roads and faster traffic.
I recently came across some great articles that summarize concerns I have had for a number of years now, about the constrictions of engineering language and measurements when applied to the human environment. If you have an interest in how our cities get to be so gawdawful to live in, you need to read these posts in Planners Web.

The next (11th) subject in A Noble Company, volume 6, is Charles Lahatt (1764-1835).
17th Aug 2015
One of the great values of biography is to enjoy the amazing providences of God as He works to build His kingdom and further His glory. Charles Lahatt is a wonderful example of God's unexpected providences. That God would take a German lad, train him as a military medic and enlist him in England's fight against the American colonies is not a story particularly unique. But that God would subsequently bring that same lad under the preaching of a great English evangelist, save his soul, and return that man to the colonies he once helped oppose is a marvel of God's providence. That he would further use that saved man to further the cause of King Jesus in pastoral labors in New York and Baptist missions on the frontier is the story of this largely unknown but faithful minister of the Gospel. --RB

Jason Hoppy: Boyfriend of Bethenny FrankelMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel is in love.
Jason Hoppy is the lucky (or unlucky) recipient of said feelings.
"I'm in love," Frankel said at an event in East Hampton Saturday. "I'm pretty certain I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him. I'm really happy."
Frankel's friends already support the new couple: "He's very handsome," one of her pals said. "He's supportive, funny, thoughtful, kind. This could be it."
No comment yet from one-time adversary Kelly Bensimon.
While Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy have been dating for eight months, she decided to keep their relationship under the radar for a while.
"I didn't want to bring anyone into the fray unless I knew it was the real deal," said Frankel, who met Hoppy at New York City's hot spot Tenjune.
"[My co-star] Jill Zarin loves him... He does pharmaceutical sales and real estate. He's very, very athletic, your all-American basketball, triathlons."
Sparks flew right away, Frankel says, and viewers will likely get to see the couple on future episodes of The Real Housewives of New York City.
"He'll be on it. He's totally cool about it, but not gung ho," Frankel said.
"He's excited for me and everything happening for me."
As for the large sapphire and diamond ring Frankel wore on her ring finger of her left hand at the Pepsi Natural Dinner, Frankel says, "It's just a ring."

Garner's Relay for Life event drew several hundred people out to Garner Magnet High School's football stadium Sunday, about five weeks after rain forced cancellation of the original event at Lake Benson Park.
The event represented an event scaled back in hours, teams, participants and attendees but not in terms of meaning for many of the attendees.
"We'll be out here every year," said Ricky Harris, who has lost a friend to cancer and counts his mother and grandmother among survivors.
Relay for LIfe, a Garner constant for 16 years, has raised $143,0000 from various teams as of Sunday, according to organizer and longtime chair Jill Cottengim. The event raised more than $170,000 last year, and has raised more than $2 million over the years for cancer research. The Garner Relay for Life efforts can continue to raise funds until Aug. 1.
While scaled back, the event did generate revenue and draw a crowd. Garner High formerly hosted the Relay before the crowds swelled and outgrew the football stadium. Typically the event runs from an evening into a morning with people camping out. Sunday the event ran from early afternoon to about 9 p.m., with the characteristic luminaries those affected by cancer lit before it became completely dark.
Cottengim didn't know how many people had come through the stadium, but estimated that in the early afternoon, the largest crowds may have reached 800 to 1,000.
"I was hoping we'd bring in at least $10,000. And we did," Cottengim said of the re-do. "I am very happy. It's a great community event."
Alice Koch, a cancer survivor for eight years who has attended each of the last six Garner Relays, said the group has to roll with the punches thrown its way.
"I'm a little bit disappointed that there wasn't more of the community out, but it's been good," Koch said. "Once (rained out) in 16 years, you can't complain about that."
Karen King, volunteered to work the food booth operated by St. Andrews United Methodist Church. St. Andrews, like many vendors, had prepared a lot of food that couldn't be sold in April. Unlike many of those groups, they put together a reduced-menu (no crawfish etouffee this year) and made it out a second time.
"It's obviously less than it would have been, even the rainy night in April," King said. "But the people who are here are enthusiastic."
Cottengim said some teams told her that they had made more money than they had at night, and cautioned against characterizing the crowd as markedly smaller, but with clearly fewer vendors
Lori Webb has been helping Cottengim from the beginning. She said it went as well as could be expected.
"I think we had a great turnout," Webb said.

Julie is probably the most attentive medical professional I have ever visited, and that is no exaggeration. She really listens--I cannot stress that enough--and suggests care accordingly. I had never done acupuncture before coming to Cynergy, and I'm not sure I'd ever want to go to anyone else. Thanks for everything, Julie!

Death to Daylight!!!
Everyone had their arch nemisis: Batman has the Joker, Robin Hood has the Sheriff of Nottingham, Chad has Phil Collins, etc etc etc. I am no different, except unlike Robin Hood, i have to deal with my Nemisis TWICE a Year! That Enemy? Daylight Savings Time!
See i'm from Saskatchewan, aka, God's Country, where daylight savings time doesn't exist. You set your clock once, then mosy on out to the wheat field, to listen to the Riders on the neighbors A.M. radio. Never have to look at it again! HOWEVER ever since moving to Edmonton, i've had to set, reset, and reset again my clocks, watches and microwave! Appointments: MISSED. Sleep: LOST. Why do we everyday engage in the same song and dance! And that Rhyme? Spring Back, Fall Foward or some junk. My friends, we must end this madness.
Effectively immediatly, i am dedicating my life to RIDDING THE WORLD of The Daylight Savings Menace. No longer should we show up an hour early or an hour late for things. No longer should we wake up in the middle of the night and have to consult several clocks and guess which one is correct! We deserve better! WE Deserve what Saskatchewan has!
Or clocks that set themselves. One of the two.

India has right to test, others have right to react: PranabOctober 3rd, 2008 - 4:57 pm ICT by ANI
New Delhi,Oct3(ANI): External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Friday said that India has a right to conduct a nuclear test, while others have a right to react.
Talking to the television channel CNN-IBN, Mukherjee said: "…India has the right to test, others have the right to react," when asked to comment on India''s options to conduct an atomic test after signing the Indo-US nuclear deal.
"In regard to testing, I have already stated we have voluntarily declared moratorium on the further tests and we will continue to bind ourselves by this book," he said.
"We would not like to convert this voluntary moratorium into a treaty-bound obligation. That position has been maintained," Mukherjee said.
Mukherjee said India''s nuclear trade would depend on the type of bilateral, bi-party agreements entered into with the countries concerned. (ANI)

Investors are showing more interest in commercial real estate in Asia, South America and other emerging markets, where growth trends and the lure of outsize returns overshadow the additional political and financial risks these regions can pose.
From 2012 to 2016, investors mostly were fleeing markets like Brazil, Russia and India as those countries were hit by political turmoil, weak growth and shaky values. But in the last 18 months, some of the biggest names in real-estate investing have become more bullish on emerging markets as growth has picked up and some governments implement reforms.
In India alone, private-equity firms are expected to acquire a record $4.2 billion in real-estate assets this year, according to Knight Frank Research. Recent big deals include Singapore's sovereign-wealth fund, GIC Pte Ltd, which agreed in August to buy a $1.4 billion stake in one of India's biggest real-estate developers, DLF Ltd.
Investors looking for deals in India also include Blackstone Group LP, KKR & Co. and Brookfield Property Partners, according to people familiar with the matter. Brookfield is about to close its $1 billion purchase of the office and retail space in a sprawling master-planned community in the Powai suburb of Mumbai from its developer, Hiranandani Group.
Meanwhile in Mexico, PGIM Real Estate has built Terrafina into the country's largest owner of logistics properties, with a market capitalization of $2 billion, up from $900 million in 2013. Further south, Sam Zell's Equity International last year purchased a stake in Brazilian parking lot operator Estapar Estacionamentos SA for $154 million, the firm's first investment in that country since 2012.
"Our appetite has increased and our enthusiasm has increased," Mr. Zell said of current emerging market opportunities.
No one is comparing today with the golden decade of emerging market investments that ended after the global financial crisis. During that period, investors were on a buying spree as the so-called BRIC economies -- named after Brazil, Russia, India and China -- posted stronger growth than most of the rest of the world.
Warning flags continue to wave over some countries following the selloff. Most big investors from the U.S. and Western Europe continue to have little interest in Russia because of concern about the legal system there. Many countries remain too volatile or small to attract global investors.
The Brazil economy is big enough, but has numerous weak spots. For example, vacancy in the São Paulo region remains stubbornly high at 26.7% at the end of the second quarter, according to Cushman & Wakefield.
India is more popular with global investors, but that doesn't mean there aren't headaches. For example, India still hasn't seen its first real-estate investment trust launch even though its real-estate industry has been working with government officials for years to make this happen.
Still, over the past year, the International Monetary Fund has repeatedly revised up its growth forecasts for emerging economies, which are now expected to expand 4.8% in 2018 from 4.1% in 2016, the slowest pace for these countries since 2009. To real-estate investors, this means hikes in hotel room stays, shopping center traffic and demand for office space from expanding companies.
Emerging markets are particularly compelling because growth rates there are expected to outpace those of developed markets.
"Any real-estate investor is probably looking to some extent at levels of economic growth as a proxy for what cash flow growth could potentially be," said Ritson Ferguson, chief executive of CBRE Global Investors, which has made investments in high growth economies of Eastern Europe and Asia.
Investors also have been reassured by political and economic reforms that are being put in place in countries like India and Brazil and the transformation of real-estate markets to take on western qualities. For example, office buildings and malls in some countries increasingly have one owner, rather than being carved up among numerous investors and occupiers.
When deals succeed, investors are well compensated for the risks they take. Returns can exceed 20%.
"If you were pricing ground up development risk in an emerging market, you would be entitled to earn at least 1,000 basis points more on a currency hedged basis return relative to a U.S. project of similar ground-up real estate risk," said Ralph Rosenberg, head of KKR's real-estate business, which has committed about $800 million to real-estate projects in China and India since 2011.
One example of a success story: Blackstone built a 29-mall portfolio in China between 2013 and 2015 and sold it last year to a domestic buyer, China Vanke Co., for a $300 million profit, according to people familiar with the matter.
Investors predict the current emerging markets cycle will be different from those of the past. For example, in some countries, like China, finding deals has become more difficult because domestic investors have grown to become more formidable competitors.
At the same time, emerging market economies are changing, which presents new opportunities. Historically, emerging market growth has been primarily dependent on cheap labor and exporting commodities and other goods, said Taimur Hyat, PGIM's chief strategy officer. In the future, success will be determined more by demand from emerging consumer classes and trade among emerging market countries, he said.
"Those become much more idiosyncratic stories rather than a single monolithic story about rising and falling on the coattails of developed markets growth," Mr. Hyat said.

MIAMI (Reuters) - The owner of a Florida business at the heart of a steroid scandal that led to the suspension of Major League Baseball star Alex Rodriguez faces up to about four years in prison when he is sentenced on Tuesday for supplying performance-enhancing drugs.
Anthony Bosch, 51, pleaded guilty in October to conspiring to distribute testosterone. The felony charge carries a 10-year maximum sentence, but prosecutors are seeking a shorter sentence of up to roughly 4 years in prison.
The owner of the now-defunct anti-aging BioGenesis clinic is asking for a judge to cut prosecutors' recommendation by six months, noting in court filings that he cooperated with federal and Major League Baseball investigators.
Bosch became a key witness for MLB, which has been paying his legal and security bills after suspending more than dozen players based on information he provided.
His lawyers have argued for a punishment similar to Victor Conte, whose BALCO clinic in San Francisco provided steroids to slugger Barry Bonds. Conte served four months in prison after pleading guilty to steroid distribution and money laundering in 2005.
"There's a number of cases where the offense was at least as severe and many of those defendants received only a year or two years, some probation," Bosch's attorney, Guy Lewis, said in an interview ahead of the sentencing at the Southern District of Florida in Miami.
Professional athletes paid Bosch as much as $12,000 per month for testosterone-filled syringes and creams, federal officials have said. He was also accused of selling performance-enhancing drugs to high school athletes, charging between $250 and $600 per month, according to an indictment.
Bosch's cooperation with MLB investigators led to the suspensions of Rodriguez; Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, who was the National League's most valuable player in 2011; Baltimore Orioles outfielder Nelson Cruz; Everth Cabrera of the San Diego Padres and Jhonny Peralta of the St. Louis Cardinals.
None of the players have faced criminal charges.
Bosch also served as a witness for the federal government in prosecuting a handful of former associates from his former clinic.

Adults aren't the only ones who can have heart problems. Many heart and circulatory system conditions affect fetuses, babies, children, and teens. Most children suffering from a heart condition are born with a congenital heart defect (when their heart didn't develop normally or completely in the early weeks of pregnancy).
Although congenital heart disease represents the most common major birth defect, scientists have not yet identified the common variation in the genes that give rise to it. Better knowledge of the molecular basis of heart disease may eventually lead to improved care by allowing doctors to tailor treatment based on the patient's genetic code.
HWCN donations are contributed to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), to aid in their continued efforts to research and support families at-risk and experiencing the premature birth of their babies.
