On my last trip down to Santa Cruz with my mom to visit my brother, we stopped at the Asian market to get snacks and I jumped at the opportunity to again pick up some more Pa Nail Polishes.
The first 4 that I purchased impressed me quite a bit so I had always intended to pick up more but whenever I was at Japan Town I either didn't have money or just decided to pick up food instead haha. This time though, the Asian market (which is another Japanese grocery store, in Saratoga) I buckled down and said "no snacks!" and bought 2 nail polishes instead.
Since the last time I bought Pa Nail Polishes, the price has decreased enormously. My first polishes were $8 each, this time they were $4.50 each and seem to be staying that price. I asked a friend of mine to go back and check and she said the polishes were still $4.50 and that was about a month after I first bought these.
Another exiting thing is that since my first Pa purchase, I've also found a couple of website that list more information on the brand. It might just be because I didn't obsessively search before, or they might have just made a website, but I've just recently found these two sites. This first link will link to what may be an official website, but I'm not sure. I think that's what it is since it's the Dear Laura (the mother brand, think OPI and Nicole by OPI) website. This second link is a website that sells Pa products as well as other Asian products. The link will directly go to the orange polish from this post.
I actually don't know anything about those two sites regarding shipping, purchasing or their stock, I just know you can see all the products there.
Anyways, more photos and swatches of the two polishes I bought are after the jump!
Pa Nail Polish A113
A113 is a black jelly base with a ton of differently sized silver holographic glitters. It's AMAZING.
The black jelly base is what makes it so unique. I typically don't see black jellies EVER, so that's the first part that makes this polish such a treasure to me. The jelly factor of it makes it layerable as well as able to be worn on it's own. Since it's black, even though it's a super jelly and is translucent by nature, it doesn't take a lot to get the color to be black.
Below I did my normal swatching for my nail wheels, with 1, then 2 then 3 coats. At 3 coats it's not completely non-translucent but black will look black even if it's not completely opaque.
The addition of multi-sized holographic glitter pieces makes it even more cool. The fact that Pa has a lot of colors like this makes it one of my favorite brands, especially now that I can find their products for less money.
I think this polish would look really cool layered over a bright creme polish. It would of course make the polish slightly darker than it's original color, if you layered this over it, but it would add a cool dimension to it.
Pa Nail Polish A124
This is a very very VERY sheer jelly orange with a lot of opalescent round glitter pieces in it. The glitter goes from orangey gold to a blue/green.
I bought this one knowing that it really wouldn't be that opaque. At 3 coats, you can still see straight through the swatch.
I do think that it would be cool to wear though on it's own, a lot like the blue from the Katy Perry collection.
Of course, a lot of people are going to mainly use this for layering. I have yet to play with this polish so I can only assume that layering it over colors will just make warm colors look more warm.
I really do like all these super jelly polishes though. It's definitely a unique finish and they're definitely colors that I would wear more often if I didn't have a boss that was into the professional look of non jelly, non sparkly colors haha.

"4-Pillars" Meditation
"4-Pillars" meditation is a powerful meditation technique which covers the life-cycle of meditation.
It is broken down into four stages:
1) Calming
2) Deepening
3) Expanding
4) Returning
This meditation is like taking a plane right, where first you board the plane, it runs on the run-away, catches speed and then takes off in the sky.
Near the destination, plane lands smoothly. So you return to ground, still further ahead from your starting original starting position to your chosen new destination.
Below is some more description of individual stages:
1) Calming: The first stage calms the mind. We can only see under the surface of turbulent water, if the water calms down. Similarly turbulent thoughts hamper our abilities to see beyond them, their origin, their reality "as is" and the true depth. The outcome of this phase is more centered less cluttered mind. Just like waves come and go and sea remain unaffected, thoughts come and disappear though mind remain unperturbed by their effects.
2) Deepening: Once we put a check on our racing thoughts in the first phase, we get a much more powerful mind to work with which has more clarity and ability to focus. We seek, discover, feel and realize the "source" of peace, happiness, inspiration and love which is inside us whereas we keep on searching for it externally. This is like searching a missing key outside of our home, which we forgot inside just because it is easier and may be more fun to search for it outside. In this case we will never find it outside, as it is not there at all. This source has stillness, strength, wisdom and ultimate truth. Knowing that we are the "cause" and we do have the access to main "source", we do get enlightened to the amazing power of "self."
3) Expanding: The more we expand our mind and heart, the more we can become happy. Happiness is in direct proportion to the expansion. The more the contraction, the more the misery and the pain. Once we know and internalize this fundamental and experience it, we can utilize it to really feel one with the universe. Everything is the same form of energy. We are made of the same energy. There are only two ways to look, either seeing yourself as an isolated island disconnected or breaking the walls of ego to see yourself as a well connected part of this abundant energy, bliss and love. Once you expand yourself, you have the choice to fill that space with whatever you want and this is common sense that you will seep in as much good stuff as possible.
4) Returning: It might be our last journey if choose to just walk out of the plane in the air abruptly without properly landing. In this fourth and last stage we come back to "present." We relish and enjoy every single breath being in total present. Leaving behind the dead past and unconcerned about the unknown future, we position our mind, body, heart and soul into the most powerful present. The door of possibility of real change opens up when we realize that we do have the full freedom to choose our path, taking the right decision subsequently followed by the correct action.
Learning and practicing this "4-Pillars" meditation can alter your life forever to make you move forward on the path in the direction of your desired destination fulfilling all your wishes.

Question about Office Equipment & Supplies
Posted by mzcosby on
Remove any cartridges, take a can of air and blow it out, especially any sensors (which would be up under a small black piece of plastic sticking up in the paper path... that's the actuator). Once you've done that, try it again. If that doesn't work, try cleaning the roller and feed tires in the paper path with soap and water on a rag, or a gentle non abrasive cleaner such as simple green. That should take care of most jams unless its tires or clutches are worn out.

Brunell's savvy gives Skins edge
LAS VEGAS - On Saturday, the road to the Super Bowl begins in earnest. Actually, it begins in Tampa, Fla., but that's not important right now.
Everyone is wondering who will be playing in Detroit on Feb. 5. Every sports book in town had odds who will win the AFC and who will win the NFC, but there's usually a rule in place that you can't parlay those types of future wagers.
But that's not a problem at the Aladdin sports book, as director Brad Bryant has Super Bowl matchup props in which you just have to get the two teams to the big game.
The favorite is the Colts vs. the Seahawks at 3-2. If you think the Bears can get past the Seahawks in the NFC and face the Colts, you can get 5-1. A matchup that has gotten a lot of media attention because of the Manning brothers is Colts-Giants, which the Aladdin has at 16-1. Other matchups including the Colts are Colts-Buccaneers at 14-1 and Colts-Panthers at 18-1.
The Broncos-Seahawks is 10-1, with the Broncos-Bears at 16-1, Broncos-Bucs at 48-1, Broncos-Giants at 52-1, and Broncos-Panthers at 60-1.
The two-time defending champion Patriots have juicy odds, with Pats-Seahawks at 12-1, Pats-Bears at 22-1, Pats-Bucs at 65-1, Pats-Giants at 75-1 and Pats-Panthers at 85-1.
Matchups are also available with the Bengals with the Bengals-Seahawks at 40-1, Bengals-Bears at 65-1, Bengals-Bucs at 185-1, Bengals-Giants at 215-1, and Bengals-Panthers at 225-1.
All other matchups, including all combinations using either the Steelers, Jaguars or Redskins, are in a field bet at 4-1.
Now, for a look at Saturday's two wild-card matchups:
Redskins (+2 1/2) at Buccaneers
This game is pretty much a toss-up, as evidenced by the fact the oddsmakers have the line at 2 1/2, not even favoring the home team by a full field goal.
I have to side with the Redskins, with the tiebreaker being the playoff experience of Washington quarterback Mark Brunell over Tampa Bay first-year starter Chris Simms, who has a history of making mistakes in pressure games going back to his days at the University of Texas (unlike Vince Young, who took the program to a new level after Simms' departure).
With Clinton Portis being able to set the tone on the ground, Brunell can spread the ball around to his receivers, led by Santana Moss, and also to his underrated tight end, Chris Cooley. Simms tends to look for Joey Galloway more often than not, and if he telegraphs his passes, that could lead to some interceptions by the Washington secondary.
I like the Redskins' side, but I love the total. It opened at 37 1/2 and has since been bet down to 36 1/2. I think the money has been on the wrong side. For one thing, when these teams met on Nov. 13, the Bucs won 36-35 (I certainly wouldn't mind seeing that score on Saturday) as each team nearly reached the total for this game. It might not be quite that explosive Saturday, but even though the Skins and Bucs have reputations for having strong defenses and conservative offenses, the fact is that down the stretch the Redskins went over the total in their final three games and the Bucs went over in their final two.
PLAY: Redskins for 1 unit and over 36 1/2 points for 2 units.
Jaguars (+8) at Patriots (over 37)
The Patriots got healthy in the second half of the season and showed they're ready to defend their title. The Patriots are not going down without a fight, and the general public will probably be backing them as game time approaches, but I believe this is just too many points to lay to a quality team like Jacksonville.
The Jaguars, who went 12-4 on the season, were 9-5-2 against the spread, including 6-2 on the road and 3-0 as road underdogs. They're going to be in this game the whole way.
Keep in mind that the Patriots have a tendency to squeak out close games, especially in the playoffs and usually with a Adam Vinatieri field goal. This season, they were 5-3 at home but just 2-6 against the spread, meaning they didn't even cover in more than half of their home victories.
Even as improved as the Patriots have been down the stretch, the defense still has some holes and the Jaguars should be able to have some success either running with Fred Taylor or through the air with either Byron Leftwich or David Garrard.
Three Jacksonville defensive starters - linebacker Mike Peterson and defensive ends Reggie Hayward and Paul Spicer - missed practices earlier this week, but now it appears they'll be able to go. The Patriots will get their share of points, too, as Tom Brady certainly excels at this time of year, which is why I also like the game to go over the total of 37 points. I can certainly see this game being 23-20 or 27-24 either way.
PLAY: Jaguars for 2 units and over 37 points for 1 unit.
Last week: 0-5, including a 2-unit loss on the Bills -1 1/2 vs. the Jets, for a net loss of 6.6 units. NFL season record: 33-50-6 for a net loss of 25.1 units.

Searching for sauna dealers is a little like looking for good car dealers. You want someone you can trust who will give you the best price, sell you a quality product, stand behind the warranties, and be available if and when you need help.
Luckily for all of us who love saunas, manufacturers sell their products online directly to consumers. They have their own websites to give you complete information and they will also sell through important online market venues such as Amazon and eBay.
Except for top-of-the-line sauna heaters which are made in Sweden and Finland as well as the U.S. and Canada, we recommend and endorse sauna dealers located in North America.
There are some decent cabinets made in Asia but keep in mind that once the 400-lb unit is unloaded off the boat and shipped to your house, you're on your own. No help, no customer service, no returns.
And with that in mind, we've come up with a few questions to ask online dealers of saunas:
Are the heater and controls included?
This sounds like a no-brainer but every dealer prices their units differently and while some material kits are all inclusive others do not come with the heater and controls and must be purchase separately. Ask up front what is included in your purchase.
In addition, the best sauna dealers will have the manufacturer specs to sell you only the exact size and model heater you need depending on the cubic size of your room.
Compare Prices of Home Saunas at Amazon
Do they offer choices of sauna types, wood, and accessories?
The better sauna dealers will be offer the finest quality in cedar and hemlock woods, pre-fab and pre-cut kits and modules, and should even include traditional sauna accessories such as the bucket, ladle, rocks and thermometer. You can ask about what options they have for upgrades such as digital controls, etched glass doors, color therapy lighting, and more.
Do they offer assistance with the design and layout of the sauna space?
You can save money by installing a pre-cut sauna kit and doing the wiring and framing yourself. A qualified dealer will be more than happy to assist you with the design schematic for a custom sauna or any special need such as an odd sized space. They will also explain to you the best placement for the benches and heater, go over insulation requirements and so on. Take advantage of this expertise -- it's included in the price.
If something goes wrong, can you get help?
Many sauna cabinets are now being mass manufactured in China and while the cheap price is inviting, if you buy one of these you may have little to no chance of getting customer service help if you have a problem.
Ideally, you want to find sauna dealers who design, build, and ship their products in North America, as well as those who love the business and who really understand the concepts of proper sauna design.
Chances are you won't need customer service, but being able to rely on the love and knowledge of sauna enthusiasts who sell their own products is a great advantage.
When comparing sauna dealers, you'll want to select a group who offer similar styles at competitive prices. Visit each of their websites to see if they list where their manufacturing plant is located, where they obtain their wood, how long they've been in business, and so on.
Your sauna is more than a box with a heater; it's a big investment and you want to be confident that your dealer is willing to share his expertise and work with you to find the right sauna to fit your budget and lifestyle.

YOUNGSVILLE — For months, Youngsville officials have debated why a stretch of Chemin Metairie Parkway Phase I is crumbling after seven years, and they've had a lot of discussions about what can be done to fix the problem.
Potholes have appeared in sections of the $7 million, 2.6-mile thoroughfare, which runs from La. 92 to La. 89, past Sugar Mill Pond and the Youngsville Sports Complex.
Officials have decided to temporarily fix the problem with patches while seeking a longer-term solution. They've also engaged in discourse that's been as bumpy as the road.
"No one's given us an absolute solution as to what's going to make it hold up," Councilwoman Brenda Burley said at a special meeting in late August.
"We'll just get some signs that say, 'Engineered by Fenstermaker,' " Burley said, referring to the city's engineering company.
Dax Douet, a Fenstermaker employee who also works as Youngsville's city engineer, took offense to that remark, saying the council knew during the planning period in the mid-2000s that the city didn't have the money needed to build the road it wanted.
"To state y'all weren't aware is a false statement. Y'all were aware," said Douet, who was on the defensive the entire meeting.
Councilman Ken Ritter said the council didn't know the scope of the road's problems while approving millions of dollars to spend on other projects this year.
"We could have prioritized our resources, our money and our energy a little differently had we known all this was going to start falling apart," Ritter, Youngsville's mayor-elect, said at the special meeting.
Youngsville's five council members were presented with repair options at the meeting. They included laying 6 inches of concrete pavement on the road at an estimated cost of $3.18 million; spending about $2.7 million to shave a half-inch off the road and lay 5 more inches of asphalt; overlaying phase one with 2 inches of asphalt for around $1 million; or patching the road.
The council opted for the 2-inch asphalt overlay. But recent bids came in over the $1 million the council budgeted, and members decided on temporary patch work, Youngsville manager Rick Garner said.
"I think by patching the road, it buys them (the council) a year or two," Mayor Wilson Viator said last week. Viator's third and last term in office ends Dec. 31.
Douet said last week that phase one's initial design was for a 20-year road that was laid with 9 inches of asphalt at a cost of $12 million. But what the city could afford at the time was a 10-year design that used 4 inches of asphalt, less than half of what was originally proposed.
"At the end of the day, we all want a Cadillac project, but we couldn't afford that," Douet said.
Douet said phase one has not lasted the designed 10 years due to the large number of heavy trucks that traverse it. Heavy-hauls carrying dirt, supplies and concrete to Youngsville's booming residential developments, ubiquitous cane trucks in the winter and other big vehicles have prematurely damaged the road, he said.
The amount of heavy-duty truck traffic was not foreseen at the time the road was designed, Douet said.
Douet said the phase one experience was taken into account when it came time to build Chemin Metairie Parkway Phase II, which opened in spring 2013. This time the city had more money — $12 million. The 2-mile phase two, which runs from La. 89 to Viaulet Road and connects to U.S. 90, was paved with 10 inches of concrete. So far, there have been no problems, he said.
Mayor Viator has defended the decision to build phase one with not enough money and using only 4 inches of asphalt. He reminded the council at the August meeting that Chemin Metairie phase one is the reason residents have flocked to Sugar Mill Pond and also the reason that corporate executives at Rouses decided to build one of their grocery stores in Youngsville.
Viator said last week it's also led to other commercial construction — CVS, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Ascension Episcopal School and Acadiana Renaissance Charter Academy.
"When the road went in, the sales tax (receipts) for Youngsville tripled," Viator said.
Ritter, who takes the helm as mayor on Jan. 1, acknowledged last week phase one's economic importance to the city. He also noted the problems Youngsville has had with the road.
In the months after its 2007 opening, it had to close due to sinkage, and the contractor, Glenn Lege Construction, eventually had to repair faulty work. This year, the Veterans Circle roundabout, which was part of the phase one construction, had to be repaired due to potholes.
Ritter said he will pursue Youngsville hiring its own engineer. He said he's not comfortable with the situation in which a Fenstermaker employee serves as the city engineer, whose job it is to make sure that Fenstermaker's road designs are good and its project inspections vigorous.

Hi guys,
As you know, I do suffer quite badly with bad joints so I am always on the lookout for something that is going to help. I should just go to the doctor but I am sick of them saying I am overweight and need to lose weight. But thanks to Alex over at Forever Living, I have found a solution to my problem.
Forever Living (FL) was founded in 1978 by Rex Maughan and is a company similar to the likes of Younique and Juice Plus in the sense that its products are distributed by people who have set up their own business to sell to the public but FL aren't as forceful as the likes of Juice Plus or Younique when trying to recruit you or asking you to buy their products. I feel as though everyone on social media is now a distributor for these companies and I get at least twenty requests on a daily basis through Facebook. I personally don't like being bombarded with requests from these types of companies to buy products and/or join the business by spending a small fortune so I politely decline and leave it at that. That doesn't mean I don't admire the work these people are doing and the results they are seeing but if I wanted to join, I would. If I read reviews about their products and they seem to work then I will often buy myself and form my own judgement.
The main ingredient in many of the products seems to be Aloe Vera. They have a wide range of products on offer including Aloe Vera drinks, beauty products, weight management products, pain management products, and also essential oils. I managed to get my hands on some small samples of MSM Gel* (£16.60) and Aloe Heat Lotion* (£12.23) so I wanted to share my thoughts and views.
First of all the MSM Gel (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) is an organic sulphur which is found in almost all living organisms. This is a clear gel which applies easily and doesn't have a strong scent, infact it almost has no scent at all. I used a little of this gel and rubbed into my knees, there was a mild heat after application but it gave me instant joint relief and took away the discomfort I was feeling at the time. I normally use Voltarol (£4.99) or Deep Heat (£5.39) which does work but I have never experienced that instant relief before. For anyone who suffers with bad joints like I do then I would 100% recommend this as it really works. I will be purchasing a full 4oz tube to keep beside me at all times.
The Aloe Heat Lotion was a different story, I felt almost no relief at all when using this, it was exactly like Deep Heat with the scent of Germoline Antiseptic Cream (if anyone remembers that, £1.69) and worked into my skin well but I was still aching and had to take ibuprofen and paracetamol to take away the pain. It didn't even help with my muscle pain in my arms and back after some strenuous weight lifting.
As I have never used these products before I was a little sceptical but was pleasantly surprised at how well the MSM Gel worked. This was a total lifesaver product for me and something that I won't be without now. I got 4 uses on each knee from the little sample pack which I was also impressed with so if you can get your hands on some samples of the products before committing to buying then I would go for it as the products are quite expensive and may not be in everyone's price range. The MSM Gel is more expensive than any of the alternatives that I have become accustomed to but I personally wouldn't let this sway my decision to buy as it works so much better and gives better results.

Local campaigners have succeeded in their long running campaign to save the Plough pub- and have thanked local Labour councillors for their work in making this happen.
The decision was taken at the council's planning meeting on 10th January, where Crookes and Crosspool Labour Councillor Craig Gamble Pugh spoke against the application to turn the registered Community Asset into a convenience store.
Local resident Peter Duff, who lead the community campaign, recognised the role that Craig and fellow labour councillor Anne Murphy played: "We really appreciate the support that Anne and Craig gave to our campaign to save the Plough. They did a lot of the unseen work that local Councillors don't always get credit for but which is vitally important."
Addressing the planning board, Craig explained the importance the campaign has had for local people. "Anne and I have worked tirelessly alongside the Save the Plough campaign group. On street stalls, collecting signatures on petitions, knocking on doors, we heard and saw first hand how strongly the community objected to this application."

Speaking after the planning board decision, he continued "It is very clear that the success of this has been driven by local people and the campaign group- I am glad to have played a part in supporting them to get to this point. Peter Duff added "Anne and Craig respected the fact that ours was a community-led campaign and worked alongside us in a genuine partnership".

STOP PRESS: since the planning meeting, Sainsburys have confirmed that they WILL NOT appeal the decision.

Pa. and N.J. rank low in spending on public health
March 1, 2010
by Don Sapatkin
The Philadelphia Inquirer
Pennsylvania and New Jersey spend fewer federal dollars per person on disease and injury prevention than any other states in the Northeast and both rank near the bottom nationwide, according to an analysis of public health funding released yesterday.
Pennsylvania's state health budget is also the lowest in the Northeast.
The report aims to highlight stagnating spending on public health in the United States at a time of heightened concern about pandemics, chronic diseases, foodborne pathogens and bioterrorism.

There's no denying that the television landscape is changing the days, with cable TV putting up dismal numbers (their worst ever, actually). But as more people migrate to streaming video, the scenery there is changing as well.
Nearly 3 out of every 4 (72% exactly) Americans who have cable also have access to at least one streaming service and 8% of cable subscribers plan to eliminate their service in the next year. But that doesn't necessarily mean they're paying for their streaming service. New numbers from a study conducted by Fluent show that the majority of Americans are sharing passwords to their streaming video services. Well over half of millennials (aged 18-34) – 60% – are either using someone someone else's password or giving their password to someone else. And just under half – 48% – of non-millennials are doing the same.
Password sharing has long been an issue of debate among streaming companies, with customers seeming not to worried about legalities. Many executives, including Netflix's Reed Hastings, say it's just not a big enough problem to worry about cracking down on. With nearly 130 million paying users, Netflix is apparently doing just fine (even if half of them share their account). HBO's CEO also shrugged his shoulders at password sharing saying it "just has no impact on the business."
The study also revealed that the main factor in what drives consumers to sign up for streaming video services is price, with 34% of Americans saying that low cost was the primary factor. That number jumps to 38% among millennials. When you take in to account that some streaming TV services start with prices as low as $20, it makes sense that price is the biggest issue. Convenience was the next biggest factor, coming in at just below 25%.
Customers are looking to streaming services for their television more than ever, and if some of them just happen to be using an account someone else is paying for, it seems everyone is ultimately OK with that.

Got Gmo's?: Genetically Engineered Food and the Sustainability of Health and the Environment
got gmo's?:
Genetically Engineered Food and the Sustainability of Health and the Environment Jennie Brooks
John F. Kennedy University
Fall 2006
People hold a very intimate relationship with food, whether it be for nourishment, a peace offering, trade, part of a religious practice, to provide a sense of community, or to satisfy a personal need. Its meanings are rooted deep within and are the foundations of many cultures. There was a time when humans were very connected to the food they ate. Not only did they know its origins, but they ate what was needed for survival. They were as much a part of earth as any other animal, although they had an intelligence to understand, appreciate, and respect all of nature's offerings. During the hunting and gathering era, fruits, vegetables, grains, and other food sources were abundant in nature. Humans had not only choices between types of food, but also thousands of varieties of one species. However, as human populations grew and more civilized societies formed, various farming techniques were created, and a vast majority of these species became extinct to make way for the harvesting of a select few (Pringle, 2003, p. 38). Over time, it appears people began perceiving nature as something to control rather than to live within harmoniously. The goal was to make their lives easier even if it was at the expense of the environment. Technology began to be the main focus of most western societies. People became more and more disconnected to their natural resources, taking for granted nature's sacrifices so they could thrive. Although technology has resulted in many profound benefits to humanity, such as breakthroughs in health care and prolonging the human lifespan, it has not come without a price. Perhaps one of the most notable areas is agriculture. As Pringle (2003) discussed, the dawn of the Green Revolution in the 1960s was a pivotal point in the history of agriculture as it marked the transcendence from traditional to monoculture methods of farming, and led to a vast increase in crop yields. To spawn these high yields, farmers began using fertilizers and pesticides containing chemicals, such as nitrogen which was left over from the making of World War II explosives. New irrigation systems were introduced and animals began replacing some of the human labor in order to handle the large crop fields (Pringle, 2003). The institution of monoculture agriculture provided significant food relief to starving nations after the war. However, not long after, farmers experienced a rude awakening when yields started to decline due to a number of unforeseen or unaddressed consequences. Although the salvation of millions of lives was a profound result of the dawn of the Green Revolution in the 1960s, little consideration was given to its future effects on the sustainability of the environment. The lack of food plant diversity eventually led to a number of problems, such as mass destruction of crops due to disease contraction and pesticide- resistant insects, chemically saturated and overly watered soils, and inevitably a decline in production yields (Pringle, 2003). Thus by the late 1900s, a new solution was being sought and for many scientists and people in the biotech industry, genetic engineering seemed like just the way to go. The idea was to create food plants that could grow and withstand harsh conditions, such as pesticides, infertile soil, unfavorable climates and geographical locations. This could be done by taking a gene from one completely different organism and inserting it into the plant in order to make it yield a desired outcome (Ticciati 1998). Despite reservations from skeptics, particularly environmentalists, about the unknown future effects of genetic food engineering, those who could gain profit and power from this new food technology proclaimed it to be the wave of the future. As Ticciati (1998)...

A Note from the Founder
In 2013 I read an article in The Washington Post about a University of Virginia program teaching Russian literature at a juvenile detention facility. A participant in the courses recounts a time he was hassled by another man at the facility—instead of responding with his "usual" reaction, the man handed his fellow inmate a copy of The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy and said, "Come back to me when you've finished reading it, then we'll talk." This program resonated with me because of my own work on Russian literature and the role of literature in civic duty. Inspired by the program in Virginia, the Program in Comparative Literature began working on a service project that is now the Reading World Literature program. With the support of the Travis County Sheriff's Office (TCSO), we held our first course on Honoré de Balzac's Father Goriot in August 2014. Since then, graduate student instructors have led over ten courses with some earning course credit for their work. Courses are held at a pre-trial facility and last between four to six weeks with a focus on one text. Our students seriously engage with the material, engage in vibrant discussions about the text, applying them to contemporary society and their own lives. In turn, instructors are rewarded by fresh perspectives and insights, in addition to invaluable pedagogical and learning experience. Participation in the program is a unique way to see the practical importance of our work and really get involved in our community. At the end of each course it is clear that our work has a significant impact on students and instructors alike. As one student put it, these courses give both students and teachers "something else to talk about."
On behalf of Comparative Literature and the Reading World Literature program, I would like thank the Travis County Sheriff's Office for giving us this opportunity. Thank you to Dr. Elizabeth Richmond-Garza and Dr. Wayne Rebhorn for their continued support. Thank you to my colleagues Destini Price, Amy Vidor, Richard Shear, and our new co-director Nina Sport for raising funds, recruiting participants, and navigating program developments. Finally, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all program supporters. We could not have done this without you.

Great News & UGH! News: 28 Weeks Pregnant
My 28 Weeks Pregnant vlog, featuring a special guest towards the end.
How far along? 28 weeks, officially in the third trimester! Holy sh*t…..
Baby's size: Pelé is now the size of a large eggplant and still around 1.5-2.5 lbs. I kinda feel like he's been through a growth spurt, which is why I was feeling queasy the other week. That's all gone now though, back to eating like a horse. A massive, hungry horse whose appetite cannot be satiated with mere single portions alone. Give me two of everything or give me your heart on a plate…
….woah. That got dark really fast. Sorry about that. I get super hangry these days. Just a warning.
Total weight gain: 19 pounds, so I was one pound off from my guess of 20! But really that's only because I didn't eat breakfast before my glucose test. If I had had my usual oatmeal/scrambled eggs/toast/sneaky croissant slipped into my purse I would have been over 20 for sure, forsureforsure.
Maternity clothes? Yes… except for the bathing suit I had to wear at my in-laws over the long weekend. I dug and I searched and combed and scanned and tossed and overturned everything in this house, and for the life of me could not find that damned maternity suit I am still convinced I have somewhere!
I'd been dreaming of floating in the pool for weeks, so I had no choice but to sift through the bikinis from my previous lives (because why would I own a ONE PIECE before having kids?! Like, hell-OO!) and pick out the least flimsy, tissue paper-esque, stringy one I had, one with actual support – which was basically this one:
*Sigh* I did not look like this while wearing it.
All I'm going to say about squeezing myself into this contraption is that I'm grateful there was only close family there to see it. The end. Moving on.
Best moment this week: Just as I'd hoped, being in the Valley for Canada Day long weekend, hands down. As I mentioned in my 26 week update, we weren't sure how Bee would take to the pool. Much to our delight though, after a bit of time spent watching everyone else splash around – and possibly a bribe of a pickle (a "pickle bribe", if you will) – she went in! She was eventually comfortable and happy in the water, and even did some kicking and bubble blowing with Hubs! It was the cutest thing and we have such incredible photos of the day… it was one of my Top 5 Bee Moments, for sure.
Since having her, I've imagined Bee as a wild, nudie, hippie baby, running free around my in-laws barefoot and diaper-less… a dream that was realized over the time spent there. Most days the only thing on her skin was sunscreen a bit of bug spray, other than that she was free as a bird; nekkid as the day she was born. It was amazing to see how natural she was in that environment, and I really hope we can get back there again sometime this summer before Pelé comes.
Miss Anything? Still boooooooooze. It's really, REALLY hard being the only one not enjoying a glass of wine or a delicious frosty beer, especially in the Valley. Sitting in the gazebo enjoying the breeze, listening to the cicadas and just being still with everything around me – what goes better with that than alcohol, I ask you?!
With Bee I managed to convince myself that President's Choice Red Brew De-Alcoholized Beer tasted exactly like the Muskoka Brewery Mad Tom… LIES! All lies. This time around, it tastes like bath water. Or swamp water. Or worse: just really bad beer. I'm allowing myself little sips here-and-there of Hubs' pints whenever we're out, but I'm just not one of those pregnant women who is comfortable drinking her own. I wish I was, GOD! I wish I was! I always thought I would be. But, alas, just the faint taste of a delicious IPA on my lips is what I settle for, and will for the next 12 weeks.
Movement: YES. Pelé is trying to knock my laptop off my belly as I type this, and coming very close to succeeding. I'm going to try and get a video of it….
Food cravings: Everything bad for me. Ice cream, especially. And chicken wings. Oh my God, chicken wings… I could eat a dozen right now, I'm telling you.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week, thankfully. Or, maybe… not thankfully? If you watch the vlog you'll hear about my glucose test hiccup – as it turns out I'd probably be better off with aversions to the junky foods which I hold so dear. UGH.
Gender: Boy. Still a boy. And even if I didn't know that he was a boy I would definitely suspect it, since everything about this pregnancy is totally different from the last. Especially the way he kicks and wiggles and worms around, getting all his little limbs jammed everywhere under everything- exactly what I'd expect from a mischievous little boy.
Symptoms: Lower. Back. Agony. Sometimes I have trouble rolling over or sitting up in bed, that's how bad it is. And I'm not someone who ever had general aches and pains before getting pregnant – before having Bee I was in really good shape, rocking tissue paper bikinis and actually wanting to show off my legs, and now… I huff and puff going up stairs and hate pants and want to wear long dresses and skirts all the time. And I have back pain. LOWER back pain, which for some reason I imagine to be worse than just back pain.
Seriously, my next project is to find a good acupuncturist, one who specializes in easing prenatal discomfort. If anyone can recommend one in the GTA, hollah at me, PLEASE.
Thank you in advance!
Belly Button in or out? NEXT.
Looking forward to: Getting my back sorted out – hopefully I'll be able to find an acupuncturist and get an appointment made before my 30 week update, so I can let you all know how it goes!
Not really looking forward to the second round of glucose testing per se, but hoping the results come back negative so I can go back to eating ice cream guilt-free! I'll keep you posted on that!
Author and blogger Madeleine Somerville will be featured every Monday for 4 weeks starting July 14th on my #ASKAMAMA series! The questions are in and filming starts soon! A teaser will be up next weekend, so stay tuned for that!
Hope you guys are liking this version of the bi-weekly update! Would love to hear your thoughts!

What is HIPAA?
To know what is HIPAA, one must have an idea about the medical field and its intricacies. What is HIPAA; it basically restricts the flow of health information of a patient without proper authorization.
What is HIPPA? HIPPA or Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was passed in 1996. This Act was the setting stone in national standards to safeguard the medical information of an individual. Though it was signed in 1996, the "portability†aspect of the law (i.e., it allows people with current or previously existing medical condition to receive full medical insurance) is in practice. There are many provisions to this law, which include strict codes for the even transfer of electronic data, including the most mundane activities such as billing or other transactions. The Act also includes provisions for the patient to have the right to access his medical information and restrict the distribution of the information. There are some specific procedural, technological and physical security protections, health care institutes must undertake. This is to protect the confidentiality of the patient's medical information.
To know what is HIPAA, means, to know there is a wind of change in the whole way, a patient's private information is handled. As more and more information is transferred electronically, the HIPAA laws are getting more and more stringent on the protection of one's health information specifically through these channels. So, the next question that comes to mind, is what comes under the umbrella of "protecting information� This Act protects the identifiable health information such as birthdate, address, Social Security number and so on. Neither the current condition nor the future should not be disclosed unless it is absolutely necessary. The information that is not covered by this particular Act should be absolutely non-identifiable. This non access to private and confidential information helps to prevent identity thefts and also solution in case of any. This confidentiality also helps preventing health insurance providers use one's health information. The organizations are capable of using the information to pass on sound medical care or may extract payment on medical grounds and so on.
Incase the disclosure of one's health information does not fall under the category, one must authorize the transaction of the provided information in writing. The government is well-informed about the impediments that common people face with technical writing, so to convey one's comprehension any authorization should be done in plain language.
Preventing identity thefts is not the extent of this Act. What is HIPAA. It is more than an Act. It is something, the present and the future of the medical bureaucracy is based upon. The HIPAA procedure templates and the securiy policy are usually suited to number of organizations such as Health Plans, Hospital, Long Term Care organizations, Third Party Administrators, Insurance Companies, Physicians, Clearing Houses, State Agencies, County government, business associates and so on.
HIPAA is not restricted to health care industry only. It is advised for non-health industry to incorporate the Act into their setting too. The Administrative Simplication section is one of those aspects which mandate privacy and security of Protected Health Information (PHI) is concerned of the way PHI should be handled when mentioned in emails. Some of those suggested methods are:
- To make sure users and email systems are authenticated such that PHI is not misused
- Email messages which contain PHI is secure while transmitting over an unguarded url
- To keep a sharp lookout on email servers and messages which may have the PHI
Stroke Treatment
The brain is a powerful machine. It is also the most important part after the heart. The brain requires constant pumping of glucose and oxygen from the bloodstream. A cerebrovascular accident also known as a stroke, occurs when blood supply to a part of the brain stops. This results in the death of brain cells. There are numerous ways a stroke may occur. Some of these ways are listed as below:
Artery Block
- The small arteries that narrow down within the brain causes a lacunar stroke. The blockage of a single tissue affects a tiny area of brain which causes the tissue to die.
- There are several vessels which carry blood to the brain. One of them are the arteries. If the arteries responsible for carrying the blood to the brain, harden this may cause a stroke. There are two important components in the arteries- the anterior circulation which controls sensations, motor activity, speech, thought and emotion is in the cartoid arteries. Whereas posterior circulation is chiefly for the areas cerebellum and the brainstem which are controlled by vertebrobasilar arteries. If these are damaged in any way, they may cause a stroke too
- Embolism- In extreme cases, blood clots form within the heart and there are million chances for them to break off and block arteries.
There are other causes that might cause a stroke. It is important to know the kind of stroke one has suffered from, so that it is easy to provide the appropriate stroke treatment. For instance, a stroke can be caused by celebral haemorrhage. This is caused when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeds into the brain tissues, adjacent to them. This results in loss of blood and oxygen to various parts of the brain.Then there is subarachnoid haemorrhage, in which, the blood acumulates beneath the arachnoid membrane. The symptoms are usually nausea, vomiting, severe headaches and a stiff neck. If not offered the proper stroke treatment this may result in the death of a patient or coma. The third form is a rare condition which is known as vasculitis which results in the inflammation of brain tissues causing them to reduce the blood supply to the brain.
There are different symptoms that show which part of the brain has been affected and which brain tissues have been affected. Once these symptoms manifest themselves, it is recommended to provide the corresponding stroke treatment as soon as possible! There are different treatments available. It is a disorders which requires immediate attention so do the following in case of a stroke:
- Calling the emergency number 911. This is the number for the emergency medical transport.
- Treatment for acute stroke must be given as soon as possible, since it is a fatal disease
- In case somebody is having a stroke, refrain from waiting to see if the symptoms go away.
- Do not call the General Physician
- Aspirin does not so help. It may be injected later, if needed.

Among males, after testosterone levels fall below the amount of 270-to-1070 ng/dl, a condition of low testosterone is established. Among women, low testosterone symptoms aren't as pronounced in males.
Among females, low testosterone normally develops after the female hormones (estrogens) come to be overtly dominant and suppress testosterone levels.

Currently, she is taking a break in Paris before she returns home for her October tour and the launch of a fashion line.
It's an exciting and busy time for our local talent. Melbourne Press spoke to her, she was effervescent and warm, with an intelligent direction.
" I wanted to make music that satisfied me." B
She has incorporated R & B, Electronic and Country Music into her work.
"I love the story telling of country music , I wanted to combine a couple of genres together to express myself and that is how Banoffee came about."B
Ninja was the first song that she released which explores the turbulence of the love hate relationship we have with ourselves and with others.
"I don't want to do this pop thing where I pretend that I'm happy and do all these things that I'm not. So I write about something that is personal. Ninja is quite metaphoric.Some of it is about a relationship; but its mostly about, our relationships, as humans, with ourselves. How we beat ourselves up and can be our own worst enemy. It's to help and try to overcome the dark feelings and dark times and turn that inner critic around….Lets stand up for ourselves" B
Her current releases explore and experiment with vocal techniques.
"I like to play around with freezing and make more dynamic sounds with vocals, I have a lot of fun using the pedals on stage and in recording."B
'Banoffee's interests in creativity and the arts has made her an increasingly sought after style figure'
Banoffee is releasing a 10 piece clothing range in November under Melbourne Fashion lable, Pageant (Winners of 2015 Tiffany & Co Award). It's a summer range inspired by all the tracks on the CD.

Many of her film clips and photo shoots feature her neighbourhood in Clifton Hill. She is nurtured by her personal surroundings and influential sister, Hazel. The internet has favoured her.
"It a medium (internet) you have no control over, It's the luck of the draw. When I first released Ninja, I was with a small record label but they worked very hard for their artists.They did a really good job at spreading my music through places like Soundcloud."B
This is her time to shine but she's no 'flash in the pan', pop princess. Banoffee has a tenacity and is a genuine artist
