text: Winter 2017 Quarterly Newsletter April 25, 2017 by cookcai Category: NewsBookmark the permalink Winter 2017 Quarterly Newsletter Thank you to everyone who was involved in EWB-OSU last quarter. We made some big decisions, and have a lot to look forward to in the future! Read below for a recap of the winter quarter and a glance into what the Cambodia, Nicaragua, and Domestic Programs plan to accomplish over spring term. Cambodia Program The Cambodia program conducted its first assessment trip to O'rana this winter, where the community is lacking in water supply during the dry season, a water distribution system, and sufficient water filtration. Upon returning from O'rana, the team compiled all data, maps, and partnership agreements to clearly define the problems the project will address. Since then, the team has started an alternatives analysis for the supply, distribution, and filtration options that will play a part in the system. Looking ahead, EWB-OSU's involvement in the O'rana program will involve an implementation trip this coming winter. Throughout the term, the team will continue working on an alternative analysis and design a system. Nicaragua Program The Nicaragua program has been working on the next stage of their project in Los Potrerillos. Last summer, they drilled a borehole well in the community and had the water tested. This coming summer they plan to install new piping to connect the well to the existing system as well as pipes that will eventually connect a new water tank to the system as well. In order to do this, the team has been hard at work designing the piping system, the river crossings for the pipe, and making cost estimates for the trip. During this time the team has submitted the pre-implementation trip documents. Local Projects The local projects program has been working with the Wood Family Farm in Turner Oregon with flooding issues. Over Winter term, they developed a basic design for a drainage system, which would divert the floodwater away from their barn and into a nearby ditch. The design includes two catchment basins at points where the water usually collects and a french drain to leech water from the saturated ground along its path. By the end of Spring term, the team will agree on a final design, determine the cost to the farm, and help them with implementation.

When my step daughter was 9, we left her at my mom's house long enough to go get take out. Twenty minutes at most. On the way home she asked us to never leave her there alone again.ReplyDelete
She said we had no sooner made it out of sight than my mother sat her down and pulled up a chair in front of her and started interrogating her about anything and everything. Personal stuff about me and her mother.
So we never left her there again.Replies
Given what your mother was, I'm not surprised. Disgusted and pissed off, but not surprised. Drilling a nine year old about personal information concerning her parents? They never cease to disgust me. Every time I think I've seen it all, I see something else that makes me want to vomit.Delete
Jonsi,, that movie just fits everywhere, doesn't it?! I need a bumber sticker that says "I *heart* uranus. HAR HAR.ReplyDelete
Yes, always expect the bullshit. Erect your battlements, create the wood piles for the beacons, stock up on toilet paper in case of seige. Because, we all know, it's coming. The assholes <--see what I did there? :) the assholes just can't let it go, they MUST win.
What they don't understand is, NO CONTACT wins every time. We ALWAYS win. It makes me smile, this band of Ungrateful Bastards, because no matter how long it takes, no contact ALWAYS WINS. Hang tough, you and DH. We're here.Replies
Gladys - It really does. I fucking love that movie.Delete
NC does win every time. Which makes them nothing but a bunch of god damned sore losers.

Why, Coldplay, Why?
I have no idea if this makes me lame or not, but I am a crazy Coldplay fan, like the kind that would scream and tear their shirt and yell "Chris Martin, have my babies!". Well, maybe not that bad, but I really love them and have dreamed of seeing them in concert since I have started to listen to their music. The bittersweet news of the matter is that I heard that they were coming to my area in concert. I figured out when the tickets were going on sale, and I even downloaded more of their music to my iPod so I could listen to a special Coldplay playlist to get me inspired, and then I found out the ticket price...
Coldplay has apparently become bigger than big time because even their bad tickets were $100. I won't even tell you how much front row seats were because it is an astronomically high number that even the biggest Coldplay fan may have a hard time coughing up. The plan was that I would take my girlfriend with me on a special date because we are both lovers of Coldplay, but even to bad seats would run me around $200, which is so much more then I could justify spending, even on Chris Martin. Lame.

Once in a while the death of a celebrity brings a nation into mourning.
I often don't join – not because I'm cold or heartless – but because one has always found grief a very personal emotion.
Public expressions of this kind leave me somewhat uncomfortable, and while others are happy to pore over the life and times of someone they did not know (for I'm sure that public and private personas of the well-known are two very different things) I've tended not to comment.
But when news broke that Cilla Black had died last weekend, I was genuinely upset. Upset for the loss of a great British personality, yes, but also for an end to a certain part of my childhood. One that I hadn't even realised I missed.
In the years before it was the norm to escape the family home at the weekend, Saturday evenings were often spent in front of the box with the folks. No matter what the day had brought, by 7pm we'd be sat together watching whatever ITV had to offer which, for much of my childhood, was Cilla.
A child of the 80s, I'm too young to remember Cilla the pop star, chart-topper and friend to the Beatles. To me, she was the TV presenter with scouse charm, loved by mums, dads and kids alike.
Whether setting up couples on Blind Date, or reuniting long-lost brothers and sisters on Surprise Surprise, Cilla could always be relied upon to bring a little sunshine to Saturday nights. I remember hearing heroic stories of how children had saved neighbours, and watching Ms Black reward them by bringing on stage their favourite pop star.
As awful as it sounds, I spent months wishing someone would collapse in front of me – I was confident I could ring 999, save them, and have Cilla surprise me with a visit from Gary Barlow. Terrible I know. But seven-year-olds often are.
It all seems a long way removed from the Saturday night TV we are subjected to now, when entertainment involves laughing at some poor schmuck who thinks they can sing, and listening to a middle-aged man in ill-fitting attire explain why they're never going to make it.
Twenty years ago, Cilla made dreams come true. Now we tune in to watch them be shattered.
So yes, while I was sorry to hear that a great lady had passed away too soon, I was also sad to think her style of entertainment had passed along with her too. Cilla was a star, a once-in-a-generation kind of performer.
Let's hope the next generation are blessed with that kind of entertainer too.

TRAVERSE CITY, MI--(Marketwire - Nov 29, 2011) - Following two successful Versus pilot projects, The Johns Hopkins Hospital has selected Versus Advantages™ RTLS from Versus Technology, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: VSTI). The Real-time Locating System will support staff locating and asset tracking in the Weinberg building OR and automated nurse call cancellation throughout the Johns Hopkins new clinical buildings. Johns Hopkins evaluation efforts began in 2008.
Between May and December 2008, The Johns Hopkins Hospital piloted several different real time locating system solutions throughout their 12,000 sq. ft. Simulation Center. These pilots included staff and asset tracking utilizing a variety of real time locating system technologies, including Wi-Fi, a beacon infrared (IR) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system and IR-RFID solution from Versus. To conduct the pilots, Johns Hopkins permitted each vendor to install their solution and train Sim Center staff to use the system. From there, the RTLS was used continuously for six weeks. Staff were able to evaluate accuracy, ease of use and alerts capability. After the six-week test period, the RTLS in use was removed and the next was installed. This guaranteed that each RTLS received ample and dedicated use during the pilot phase.
Following the results of the Sim Center pilot, Versus RTLS was installed in the Weinberg OR for a production system pilot. Here, Versus RTLS was evaluated for its ability to provide the location of key staff members and critical clinical assets to support the workflow of a busy OR. This included producing accurate reports of asset utilization to better locate equipment. This pilot began in November 2009 and lasted 90 days. The pilot was deemed successful and the RTLS, having proven its worth, remains in use for asset tracking.
A separate pilot was conducted in The Johns Hopkins Hospital Nelson building on the 8th floor nursing unit. This pilot focused on using Versus RTLS to automate GE's Telligence nurse call system. Following successful demonstration of automated nurse call cancellation and passive nurse registry, Versus Advantages RTLS for staff locating, asset tracking and nurse call automation was selected for deployment in the new clinical building, opening in April 2012.
"While there is much work yet to be done, these 'Proof of Concept' evaluations represent significant milestones for Versus," says HT Snowday, President, Versus. "To have one of the world's top healthcare and research facility test, and ultimately choose to implement, our solution helps substantiate the story we've been telling for over 20 years. Accuracy matters." Versus has demonstrated a unique blend of accuracy, application suitability, enterprise scalability, cost effectiveness and clinical reliability with regard to both its hardware and software. Through service and commitment to innovation, Versus has elevated the standards to which RTLS is expected to perform in today's healthcare delivery environment.

Ayrshire Holiday Guide
Whether you are on a tight budget or like to splash out a bit on you well deserved break – you're sure to find something to suit you in Ayrshire.
There are no big cities in Ayrshire, the largest town is Ayr, a lovely seaside town with a beautiful sandy beach and an excellent shopping centre. Most of South Ayshire is very rural, made up of lovely small towns, villages and agricultural land. North and East Ayrshire have more industry, but the decline of the steel and coal business means there have been many changes over the last few years. The Ayrshire coast once a magnet for the citizens of Glasgow during their annual 'Fair Fortnight' saw a bit of a decline during the 80's and 90's as people discovered package holidays to Spain etc., but is now experiencing a revival as trends are changing with an increasing number of people are holidaying in the UK.
Famous for its excellent golf, Ayrshire has in excess of 20 golf courses scattered throughout the county, from championship courses such as Royal Troon and Turnberry to more modest municipal courses. These range from 9 hole short but testing to 19 hole very challenging and demanding. Prices vary from £20 up to well over £200 for a round.
Fishing is a popular pastime favoured by many, with river fishing on the Stinchar, the River Ayr, the River Girvan and the River Doon as well as at several fisheries and lochs throughout the area. Many of the fisheries are open all year round and offer expert tuition and catering facilities as well as tackle shops providing equipment hire and sales.
From ancient ruins to magnificent mansions Ayrshire's castles and stately homes vary from piles of rock to plush country homes and estates. Some are still privately owned or by the National Trust and are available for weddings and special occasions or have apartments for holiday lets. Many are open or partly open to the public at certain times of the year, with country parks with lots of walks, beautiful gardens and ranger led activities – up to date details are always available from Tourist Information.
In Ayrshire there are many opportunities for outdoor pursuits and sporting activities and many of our parks have wonderful facilities or packages incorporating activity breaks. However you may just prefer to relax, be pampered or just do your own thing. Whatever you want it's right here in lovely Ayrshire!

Profile Of A Rural Teachers' Center. Teachers' Center Exchange. Occasional Paper No. 2.
Martin, Peter H.
Project RISE (Regional In-Service Education) is an inservice center serving teachers, administrators, support staff and parents in central Connecticut. It began in 1976 with state funding, and serves 500 teachers in nine rural and small town districts. An initial needs assessment provided a basis for planning and responding to individual teachers' needs as well as producing regional programs. Inservice planning teams were established at every school in the region, with a RISE staff member acting as facilitator at meetings. One-shot workshops were the chief means of inservice until the limitations of such random and short term offerings were recognized. A transition point was reached in 1980 with a new district inservice format, involving small groups of teachers working together over a longer period of time, drawing increasingly on each other and their administrators instead of outside experts. Former teachers or local teachers on leave are employed by RISE to serve as consultant/advisers. A Teachers' Center Policy Board, a Superintendents' Advisory Council, and an Interdistrict Committee form the governance structure of RISE. (FG)

Portraits on Maps by Ed Fairburn
This is sooooo gorgeous; had to reblog!
Portraits on Maps by Ed Fairburn
This is sooooo gorgeous; had to reblog!
Edgar Allen Poe spotted on my way to work; this would be an argument to keep Baltimore's former moniker Charm City…that and the MESSAGE underneath!
Location: Lexington Market, Baltimore, MD
Rating: Priceless
Description: In the words of the submitter:
Only Baltimore can be so proud of their addiction heritage and put it in lights.
Apple cake done! New discovery: my oven runs hot so the recommended 75 minutes was too long as evidenced by the crisp top. It might be ok though; I just hope inside of cake isn't dry.
This is the beginning of my very first attempt to make fresh apple cake; between my mother and Martha Stewart I should be in good hands!
Ahhh, the side effects of creativity happy hour! I was drawing on a styrofoam mannequin head while my partners in crime Mira & Tracy made tree branches and feathered the face, respectively. Our masterpiece is still a work in progress but it's flowing!
I'm so excited that it is election day and that I was in and out of my polling center in 15 minutes, perhaps less. I can't profess to know all the ins and outs about politics but I do know that my ancesters fought their arses off to ensure black folks had the right to vote! Of course my parents schooled me about this, but it was my civil rights classes at Sarah Lawrence that sealed the deal. For the first time in my life, in a formal educational institution, I was immersed in a world that dealt exclusively with my history. It blew my mind to find that the Voting Rights Act, calling for no discrimination based off race or color, was just enacted in 1965. So this is for my peeps-specifically those who probably aren't reading this-it is of the utmost importance that you vote and your voice is heard…even if that voice is for Romney!!!
It really took all my strength to say that last line BUT our right to express our opinions is one I don't want to give up. I also don't find it acceptable to squander a right that caused some to lose their lives.
I feel so accomplished, even after at least 20 years of voting, the thrill never dims.
Oh yeah…and I ain't stayin up until the crack of dawn with bubble guts waiting to see who gets voted in! I will be in bed at my normal 10:30/11 timeframe. I have several hours before bed so I'll be getting into homework for 'Memoir' class, we're reading Gail Caldwell's Let's Take the Long Way Home and then I'll be watching the always nerve-wracking Homeland.
Have a fabulous stress free night!

I found myself with my cock softening in Liv's hand watching my jism slide and run across Stella's lovely, rounded Asian skin, making its way across her belly, her mons, slit and arsehole as she lay with her legs splayed on the floor in front of me. Liv, my lover and Stella's neighbour, had just wanked me off to a rapid climax over her latest conquest. Liv looked up at me with a grin and said, "Now then, time for you to regain your strength." What a woman! Firstly she eased me back onto the sofa, then handed me my drink and then kissed me lightly on the mouth. "You just need a minute or two and then a bit of stimulation will get you firing on all cylinders again." She lent across me, her tiny sweat slicked breasts rubbing across my chest hair and picked a ciggie out of the packet there, lit it and handed it to me. I took a few drags and reclined further with a satisfied smirk on my face. My cock was still thick but lay flaccid and slippery across my thigh, warm fluid seeping out a little on to my skin. I knew from experience that a brief hiatus would set me up. I momentarily let waves of relaxation sweep over me as I closed my eyes, breathing slowly. But I wasn't going to go too far off. The women seemed to have judged this right too as in my torpid state I heard a giggle and a sigh which made me instantly alert. Women, of course, have a greater capacity to keep their sex play going and how I do envy them that. They were now in the process of proving just how horny they ...

The title of this first article is a bit misleading. All of the big phone vendor's market share tends to "grow" - temporarily - when they release a new flagship product. The important point here is that when the iPhone 5 release, iOS's market share temporarily grew 18.7 points (from 34.6% to 53.3%). With the iPhone 5S/5C release, it only had (probably temporarily) grown 7.1 points (from 35.1% to 43.1%). These numbers are US market share, world-wide iOS doesn't fair nearly so well.
Apple iPhone Market Share 2013: Still growing, but slower than before | BGR
Basically this is just another sign that Apple is becoming boring.
This next article covers an even more disturbing trend. Apple is RAPIDLY declining in Europe. It is written from the standpoint of Windows Phone in the EURO5, but the numbers for Apple and Android are there as well.
Windows Phone Makes Solid Gains On The Eve Of The Microsoft Takeover - Seeking Alpha
The important point is this. Apple is #3 in Italy already and could well be #3 in much of Europe within a year. Note that Android gained 7.4 points during this period (from 61.5% to 69.1%).
There is evidence that Apple losing to Android with developers, tech leaders and journalists and well lots of others too:

Mac Shipments in U.S. Rise 28.5%, PC Shipments in Decline - The Mac Observer
The Mac blogs play this like it's great news for Apple. First of all, the "rise" is only in the US. Apple is still very much insignificant elsewhere. Second, while the rise is year to year for the quarter... it comes in a quarter that had an important Mac refresh (the Macbook Pro). If you look at data for all of 2012 and all of 2013, Gartner has Macs up a little and IDC has Macs down a little. It is true that Macs are out performing Windows PCs, but just how hard is that? I'll not bother with further analysis until the firm numbers get released in early February.
Oh, one thing is certain... because both Macbooks and Chromebooks are being counted in the total, the Window's PC market share was a whole lot worse than the estimated 7.5% loss of the whole US PC market. I'm estimating that Windows PC market share fell something like 15%-25%. Hopefully Gartner and/or IDC will break that out for us when the final figures come. Strangely, I have seen a number of analysts talking about the 7.5% loss as a sign of slowing loss. That might be true for Intel and OEMs like Acer (heavy into Chromebooks) and Apple... but it is disastrous for Microsoft.

The most thanks need to go to Heather Kane and the folks at Que for dealing with me for so, so long. Without them, this book wouldn't be. Thanks also to my friend Peter Sylwester, without whose inspiration I would be lost. A tip of the hat to Phillip Kerman (buy his book, too), who beat me to the punch.
Thanks to The Surf Trio, the Ramones (and the Romanes), Iggy Pop, Dick Dale, and They Might be Giants for providing the background hiss to my life and ears.
Darrel Plant
I dedicate this volume to family and friends, who patiently waited for this project to come to an end and showed amazing verbal restraint and understanding during crunch time. Many thanks also to my colleagues for advising me on issues that were sometimes beyond my meager grasp. In particular, I would like to single out Kevin Airgid, an outstanding designer and top-flight Flash animator, for his contributions. Thanks also to the Que publishing crew who deftly kept me focused and motivated on completing this book.

During last night's main event at NJPW's G1 Special, Kenny Omega came to ringside with a towel in hand. Cody did something similar to Omega (threatening to throw it in) during his match against Okada at Dominion in June. While Omega wouldn't throw the towel in himself, he wanted Cody's wife, Brandi Rhodes (who was at ringside), to do it instead. Once Cody caught on, he took the towel and threw it angrily at Omega.
Be sure to join our Live Coverage of the G1 Special tonight starting at 8pm ET.

Humidifiers add moisture to the air in your home. Most people associate humidity with physical discomfort during peak summer months, but the proper amount of humidity actually has health benefits and can increase your indoor comfort.
A humidifier battles the symptoms associated with cold weather. It can provide relief for chest congestion or sinusitis, heal chapped skin, help heal colds and allergies faster and it can even prevent nosebleeds and snoring.
There are more benefits to having a humidifier than not, especially if you live in a colder weather climate. Cold weather can wreak havoc on your respiratory system but it can also damage your wooden furniture or musical instruments. A humidifier combats all of these things by reintroducing needed moisture into the air in your home.
Installing a whole-house humidifier can even save you money on your energy bill and make your home more energy efficient. A humidifier can make you feel warmer at lower temperatures. You can turn down the thermostat and actually be more comfortable than if you crank up the heat.
Our humidifier brand of choice is Aprilaire.

Welcome to another edition of In The Spotlight. It's always interesting when crime fiction also contains elements of other genres, so I was excited when Rayna at Coffee Rings Everywhere suggested that I put Mary Higgins Clark's While My Pretty One Sleeps in the spotlight. Let's take a closer look at the way Higgins Clark blends genres to tell a crime fiction story in this novel.
As the novel begins, we learn about the murder of Ethel Lambston, a famous New York gossip columnist. At first, no-one knows that she's died. She lives alone and she's known for acting on whims, so no-one is concerned at not having seen her. The first hint that there might be trouble comes when she never comes to pick up her latest order at Neeve's Place, a very upscale boutique owned by Neeve Kearny.
Neeve is the daughter of former Police Commissioner Myles Kearny. She's always had a keen eye for clothes and design, and has become respected in New York's fashion world as a highly talented up-and-coming clothier. Ethel Lambston has depended on Neeve to provide her with a stylish and well-designed wardrobe, and that's why Neeve becomes concerned when Ethel never picks up her newest order at the boutique. After a few days of anxious waiting, Neeve begins to believe that something is wrong. This is when she decides to do a bit of her own investigating. Little by little, with help from some friends and acquaintances she makes, Neeve begins to piece together the last few weeks of Ethel Lambston's life. As she does, she finds out that more than one person had a motive for murder. There's Ethel's bitter ex-husband and his new wife, her nephew, who's due to inherit, several designers whose secrets Ethel was going to publish, and an organized crime connection. When Ethel's body is discovered, it turns out that Neeve's instinct was all too accurate. The closer Neeve gets to the truth, the closer she gets to real danger as the killer becomes aware that Neeve may be the only person who can make the connection between the victim and the killer. In the end, Neeve finds out who killed Ethel Lambston, and how that murder is connected to a tragic incident in her own past.
One of the elements that runs throughout this novel is the crossing, you might say, of genres. While My Pretty One Sleeps is most definitely a crime fiction novel. There's a murder, there's an investigation, there's a sleuth, and so on. But you could also call it a romance novel. Neeve Kearny is single, and although it's not belaboured in the book, she's never really been able to make a deep and permanent commitment to anyone. In the course of her investigation, Neeve meets Jack Campbell, who works for Givvons and Marks, a publishing house. Not long before her death, Ethel Lambston had approached Campbell about publishing a tell-all book about the fashion world, and Neeve thinks that Jack Campbell may have some information about her disappearance. The two begin to see each other, first professionally and then romantically. It turns out that the two have met before, and Jack was never able to forget Neeve. Their developing relationship turns out to be a sub-plot that runs throughout the novel.
So does the relationship that develops between Myles Kearny and Kitty Conway, a real-estate professional who makes the grisly discovery of Ethel Lambston's body. Myles was devastated at the loss of his first wife, Renata, and until he meets Kitty, hadn't found anyone else. Neither had Kitty, who lost her first husband Michael. As the novel evolves, we see Myles and Kitty become aware of their growing feelings for each other and so, start to heal.
Another element woven through this novel is the connection between past and present. Renata Kearny was brutally murdered when Neeve was a child. Her murder has never been solved, and her loss has tragically affected both Neeve and her father. As Neeve begins to unravel the mystery of Ethel Lambston's death, we slowly become aware that that murder is related to the murder of Renata Kearny.
It's more than just that connection, though, that ties past to present. In several places in the novel, Higgins Clark uses flashbacks to reveal Renata Kearny's background and personality, and the circumstances of her death. For instance, at one point, Neeve is making a buying trip to New York's fashion district:
"And once again Renata drifted into her mind. Renata in a black velvet Victor Costa, going to a New Year's Eve party with Myles. Around her throat she'd worn her Christmas present, a pearl necklace with a cluster of small diamonds.
'You look like a princess, Mommy,' Neeve had told her. That moment had been imprinted on her memory. She'd been so proud of them. Myles, straight and elegant with his then prematurely white hair; Renata, so slender, her jet-black hair piled in a chignon."
In fact, by the end of the story, Renata Kearny has become almost as real a character as the living ones. We get a strong sense of the kind of person she was, and what she was like.
Along with the genre duality and use of the past, Higgins also gives readers a vivid picture of New York City:
"She walked rapidly from Madison to Fifth Avenue and decided to cut through the park at Seventy-ninth Street….Madison Avenue had still been busy with cars and pedestrians. On Fifth, the taxis and limousines and shiny town cars whizzed by quickly, but on the est side of the street, bordering the park, there were few people. Tossing her head as she approached Seventy-ninth Street, Neeve refused to be deterred."
New York City serves as a dramatic backdrop to the events of the novel; its unique character is an essential ingredient in the story. Readers get the sense that the story wouldn't really have "fit" in another setting.
The same is true of Higgins Clark's use of a professional setting. In this case, the fashion industry serves as an important element in this novel. As Neeve Kearny sifts through the clues that lead her to Ethel Lambston's killer, we learn about how the fashion industry works, and we get a "behind-the scenes" look at what it's like:
"Monday was Neeve's usual time to spend on Seventh Avenue. She loved the bizarre bedlam of the Garment District, the crowded sidewalks, the delivery trucks double-parked on the narrow streets, the agile delivery boys manipulating racks of clothes through the traffic, the sense of everyone rushing, no time to spare."
Higgins Clark uses the fashion industry of New York City as the backdrop to weave together a murder mystery and romance, and ties together this "package" with strong connections between past and present. But what's your view? Have you read While My Pretty One Sleeps? If you have, what elements do you see in it?

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager Mendeley © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Autosuggest Results ++ Abdominal pain is one of the most common presenting complaints in the primary care physician's office and often a diagnostic dilemma for surgeons. Despite recent technologic advances, the diagnosis and treatment of chronic, recurrent abdominal pain remain a challenge. Pain is a subjective sensation that patients often find difficult to describe. By contrast with other areas of the body, the abdominal organs have poorly developed sensory systems that also may contribute to the patient's difficulty when trying to describe and localize the pain. In the majority of clinical scenarios, no physical course is apparent and symptoms are transient. The purpose of pain is to protect the organ and the patient from injury. After the source of the pain is found, every effort should be made to control or eliminate it. In chronic pancreatitis or diffuse malignancy, for example, pain control may become as much a challenge as in instances where no underlying cause can be found. ++ For a patient to perceive pain, the autonomic nervous system must be intact. The anatomy and physiology of pain have been described in detail in previous chapters. Abdominal viscera are relatively insensitive to many stimuli compared with a more sensitive organ such as the epidermis. In addition to the relative paucity of sensory nerve endings, the same group of nerves may innervate several viscera. There are a few well-known nociceptive triggers in the abdominal cavity. These include abnormal distention or contraction of hollow organ walls, ischemia of the visceral musculature, direct action of chemical substances on the mucosa, formation of allogenic mediators, and traction or compression of ligaments, vessels, or mesentery. Pain patterns are not well differentiated as to their location or the cause. Nevertheless, there are some recognizable pain patterns, and a careful history often can lead to the correct diagnosis. The history and physical examination provide diagnosis in two thirds of clinical presentations. Laboratory and radiologic tests are important auxiliary tools for investigative workup. The invasiveness and cost-effectiveness of the proposed tests should always be considered. ++ There is either a physical (organic) or psychogenic (nonorganic) cause to pain, with one or more elements dominating. Abdominal pain can be classified by the duration of the symptoms, etiology, primary diagnosis, anatomic localization, and its response to treatment. It can be either acute or chronic; chronic pain being arbitrary, based on symptoms persisting for more then 6 months or after the healing process is completed. Some clinicians divide pain into nociceptive (somatic or visceral), neuropathic, psychogenic, or referred. ++ Visceral pain is transmitted from nociceptors found on the walls of the abdominal viscera via sympathetic (thoracic branches and lumbar splanchnic nerves synapsing in subsidiary plexuses: celiac, splenic, hepatic, aorticorenal, superior mesenteric, adrenal) and parasympathetic (vagus and nervi erigentes S2–4; motor and sensory) pathways. This pain is nonspecific because of wide divergence and relatively small number of afferent fibers innervating a large area with extensive ramification. Patients usually have difficulty localizing the source of pain ... GET ACCESS TO THIS RESOURCE Sign In Username or Email Please enter User Name Password Please enter Password Forgot Username?

I love books, not for me, for Cruz. I love that they allow us to have discussions about things that we might never have talked about before and how Cruz opens up about things that are important to him that I may not have thought about either. I choose books because of the messages that are inside them; our three new books are about loving pets, kisses and giving. The best part is that they cost a grand total of $11 (for all 3) and because they are hard covered will last us for years.
Because of the book The way i love you, last night I learnt about new ways that make Cruz feel loved. In no particular order...
- Bubble time in the bath before bedtime
- Bedtime stories with mummy and daddy
- Having yummy lunches that look "pretty"
- Drawing with Nan
- Kisses and cuddles
- Mummy or daddy saying "good job Cruz"
These books now have a new home in the shelves of his bedroom. The last addition to his bedroom has been ordered and as soon as it arrives photos will follow.
Happy reading!

It is probable that when the British government sanctioned marriage for same sex partners and enshrined the decision in the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013Ā they undoubtedly thought they had squared the circle of discrimination as far as equality for all life partnerships was concerned.Ā
However that was not to be as, since Rebecca Steinfield and Charles Keidan first decided that they would prefer to have a civil partnership rather than get married and found that they were promptly knocked back, they have been campaigning ever since to challenge the decision that they do not meet the requisite legal requirement to enable them to have a civil partnership, that of being the same sex.
The couple lost their appeal yesterday at the High Court where they contended that they were subject to discrimination and state that they intend to appeal.Ā The government welcomed the decision on the basis that "the current regime of marriage and civil partnership does not disadvantage opposite sex couples".Ā
Furthermore, it is felt that now that same sex couples can marry it is likely that civil partnerships will fade away and eventually be phased out at some stage in the future and to amend that legislation at this stage would be an unnecessary expense, particularly as no decision has yet been made regarding civil partnerships as the government is keen to see what impact, if any, same sex marriage has on civil partnerships.Ā
Ms. Steinfield and Mr. Keidan however, are keen to carry on with their campaign as they feel that civil partnership focuses on equality whereas, in their eyes, marriage is less so bringing with it patriarchal history.Ā The couple further argue that whilst gay couples have a choice of the type of partnership they wish to embrace, opposite sex couples do not and by that token they are being discriminated against.Ā Also it was felt by them that their right to a private and family life was compromised.ĀĀ The government countered that the historical status of marriage was entirely democratic and encompassed traditional values of family life.
In light of the strong feelings that Ms. Steinfield and Mr. Keidan have in this respect it is surprising that they have not availed themselves of the facilities that the Isle of Man affords, being the only place in the British Isles that permits opposite sex civil partnership. Martin Loat and Claire Beale did and are the first heterosexual couple in the UK to have a civil partnership. Ā
The Ealing couple flew to the Isle of Man on October 21 to seal their 25 year relationship in a civil partnership, which brings with it all the legal responsibilities and entitlements to their relationship and children.Ā It seems that early on in their relationship they made the decision not to marry for much the same reason as Rebecca Steinfield and Martn Keidan, too much patriarchal history.Ā They too would like to see the legal status of civil partnership amended to include opposite sex couples, notwithstanding the fact that they found a satisfactory way round the problem.

I'd like to send a special hello to the international student who sent me this message. You know who you are. My apologies for the very late reply to your message. In the spirit of helping other international students out there, allow me please to quickly try to explain the reasons I loved receiving your email and decided to reply back to you:
1) You compliment my work – How nice of you. Thank you. Everyone loves compliments. In your case, I can feel sincerity in your email, and that makes me more willing to reply to your message, even though I do not know who you are. Bottom line. Your message comes across as genuine.
2) You ask me a question I feel I'm just the guy to answer – This is important. When emailing a stranger – someone you have no connection with – you want the person who's receiving your email to feel that he or she is the best person out there to help you, and no one else will do. I don't think you intentionally planned to do this but in this case, I do feel that I am just the right person to give you some perspective on the situation you describe in your email, and that's what you want to achieve when you try to connect with strangers on-line.
3) Your message is not excessively long. And you also make it very clear what it is that you are looking for.
4) Your question is not one I have heard 100 times before. I think this is key. It is to me. Here's an example of a question I receive about 5 times a week via LinkedIn. "Hi Marcelo, companies don't sponsor. I'd like to get a job in the U.S. What do I do?" Do you see the difference? Your question is original and it is an intelligent question. Because of that I am more likely to reply and try to give you some assistance.
5) It is a great email AND it is NOT perfectly written – There are a few grammar mistakes in your message. It is far from perfect. Do you think that made me think less of you or be less willing to try to help you? No! I make mistakes when I write. Everyone does from time to time. In your case, you have already proven your intelligence and your maturity to me. I am already impressed by all of that. You clicked the send button. So many international students become too focused on sending 100% error free emails and forget to create messages that have impact. Many don't email people/strangers often enough in my opinion because they overthink the entire process and focus too much on writing completely error free messages. Just do it! Do the best you can and get some help when needed but just do it. Think Nike, yes.
So, let's try to get back to your question to me:
What do you think of this idea of showing up in an abnormal way?
I completely love the idea of you showing up in an abnormal way.
My rationale is simple: you probably already know that often times it is not the best person who gets hired. Qualified candidates who are able to attract the attention of recruiters are the ones who get noticed, sometimes get interviewed, and sometimes get jobs. How can you distinguish yourself in a sea of business graduate students looking for the same type of positions you're seeking, the same way? Well, one way to do that is by "showing up in an abnormal way". So yes, maybe the pitch book idea could work really well. I love the concept. Yes, push the envelope and help recruiters and hirings managers learn about your skills and talents in a creative way.
I think it is great that you are thinking of differentiating yourself as a job seeker. This is very hard for international students to do because what we often want to do – particularly as newcomers to the U.S – is to conform, to observe and do everyone else is doing and then copy them. We don't want to break rules. God forbid. We don't even allow ourselves to be creative. But you're thinking differently….
If you think about it, all business graduates out there end up looking the same. They answer questions the same way. They comb their hair the same way. They all have a dark suit which they wear for interviews. They all say they have passion and they answer questions such as "tell me about a time when you exercised leadership skills" in a similar way. Everyone has the same prepared answers for the typical interview questions and everyone more or less uses the same tactics to try to get hired. Also, the curriculum of business schools does not change too much from school to school at all. Everyone is reading the same texts books, taking the same finance classes and essentially learning the same stuff. So be careful! It seems though that you're trying to think of ways to do things differently and attract the attention of recruiters in different ways. Awesome.
Sometimes we have to take chances as job seekers. Give the pitch book idea a try. Whatever the results are I assure you will learn something valuable. Sometimes we have to do something that seems a little crazy actually as job seekers. So push the envelope. Have you heard how COO Gary Cohn got his start on Wall Street (Goldman Sachs?) See the article below.
Can a white lie help you get a job?
Marcelo Barros is the author of The International Advantage Get Noticed. Get Hired! He partners with university career centers to help international students achieve their job search goals.
Keep pushing hard international students. I'm rooting for you!

No question about it the recession hurts. But women will heal faster from the economic turmoil than men, according to a Bank of America research note.
That's because women's earnings are expected to recover more quickly than men's, says Ethan Harris, head of Developed Markets Economics, and Neil Dutta, U.S. economist. With women controlling the wallet share of most households, a recovery in consumer spending, which makes up about 70% of GDP, will depend on women.
The question is: why are women suffering less than men? For one, women who lost jobs during the recession found new jobs faster than men. Part of the reason is that the economic downfall hit male industries such as construction and manufacturing the hardest.
Although women and men had nearly the same unemployment rate going into the recession, wrote Harris and Dutta, today the unemployment rate for women is 8.9% almost two full percentage points below men at 10.6%.
Going forward, women will be positioned to fill jobs in the new knowledge economy. In the next ten years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics believes the top jobs will be focused in the healthcare sector (think registered nurses and home heath aides), which is dominated by women at nearly 80% of the total workforce.
Not only that, but nine out of 10 jobs that the Bureau expects to add the most positions over the next eight years are overwhelmingly occupied by women.
Meanwhile, more women are graduating from college than men. For every two men that graduate from college, three women do, wrote Harris and Dutta.
One study that they point to found that the increase in earnings from an additional year of schooling is about 6% to 10%. With women earning over 50% of the Bachelor's degrees between 2000 and 2010 women's earning power is increasing exponentially.
To be sure, the median income of women is still two-thirds that of men. Yet, Harris and Dutta insist that the gap is narrowing and that it will accelerate. Over the last five years, they point out, the real median income for women has risen roughly 1% at an annualized rate.
For men, it has contracted 1.5% at an annual rate. It helps that women are waiting longer to get married and make up 56% of single households with no children.
So, how are investors to take advantage of this "long-on-women" theme? Women's increased earnings potential will give them stronger purchasing power, which will help to lead the U.S. out of the economic doldrums.
Harris and Dutta recommend companies that cater specifically to women and are already seeing a rebound in women-focused businesses and those with discretionary categories that target women, such as Ann Taylor, Lululemon, Target and DWS Shoes.
For those firms that are looking to hop on the women's market bandwagon, the book "The She Spot: Why Women are the Market for Changing the World and How to Reach Them" by Lisa Witter and Lisa Chen is the bible for reaching women from two women who have dedicated their lives to doing so.
"In our view, it makes sense to take advantage of this demographic shift," wrote Harris and Dutta. "Women are better educated, more likely to live on their own, have better job opportunities, and will enjoy a stronger earnings potential relative to men."

Prototyping, the iterative modeling of a system, enables users to be actively involved in the development process. The methodology which provides a working model of the system throughout development allows errors, missing functionality and confusing or difficult functions to be detected early, reducing risk of sub-optimal ROI on the finished project. In addition, prototyping provides users with a greater sense of involvement leading to increased organizational visibility, and stakeholder buy-in and funding.
The purpose of prototyping is to reduce the risk of getting it wrong but if third-party prototyping software presents you with developmental hurdles, the chances of getting right can be slim.
Though prototyping software is widely available, all solutions are not created equal. What if it can't represent something your real solution can support? What if it lets you do something your real tool does differently? And what if at the end of the prototyping effort you're left with something that still needs to be translated and configured into the real tool? The purpose of prototyping is to reduce the risk of getting it wrong but if third-party prototyping software presents you with developmental hurdles, the chances of getting right can be slim.
Common Problems With Prototyping
Many prototyping solutions utilize so-called "throwaway" methodology, in which a model is created, only to be eventually discarded. The steps involved are typically:
- Write preliminary requirements
- Design the prototype
- Modify prototype based on user testing
- Repeat as many times as necessary
- Write final requirements
- Discard the prototype
- Develop a production-ready system
While useful for generating feedback from end-users, throwaway prototyping can result in significant duplication of efforts as well as several common problems described on Intelligence On Tap:
End-User Issues: A prototype is a work in progress. It will evolve throughout each stage of the project and in the case of a throwaway prototype be scrapped entirely. However, many users will view a prototype as a near-complete model, drawing incomplete conclusions on features that are meant to be changed or they may assume that the prototype is near complete, and won't change at all.
Developer Issues: It can be difficult for developers to focus on a holistic view of the completed project when presented with a prototype. Rather than using the prototype as a tool to assist in a proper analysis, they can easily get caught up in insignificant minutiae of the prototype itself resulting in a final project that doesn't meet proper architectural standards.
Efficiency Issues: Developers must strike a balance between developing a prototype that is only half-baked and one that is near completion. An effective prototype should be developed quickly and assist in the fine-tuning the finished product. It is only when these requirements are met that a prototype can be considered successful and if they aren't, productivity and efficiency are sacrificed.
"If only we could validate the design in the actual system "
PolicyWriter is different. Integral to Adaptik's P&C policy administration solution is evolutionary prototyping methodology a significantly different approach than throwaway prototyping. Evolutionary prototyping allows for the structured building and refinement of prototypes into finished software; the first prototype represents Version 1 of the application, and each subsequent iteration gets you closer to the production-ready version of the system.
This technique allows the development team to routinely add features and make changes that couldn't be conceived during the requirements and design phase. Do your users ever change their mind about what they want once they see it built based on their specs? Of course they do! So why not begin the project with the ability to adapt to inevitable changes?
Leveraging Robust Configuration Tools
PolicyWriter lets you configure nearly everything a page, an item, a coverage, a rule, page flow order or a user interface layout feature then immediately review it in the end-user test environment. Don't like it? Change it. Do like it? Keep it, it's ready for use with no translation, no reconfiguring, and no coding. It's really as simple as that. What's more, system behavior is based on the configurations a fact that remains true in design, development, integration test, model office, UAT and production environments.
Integration is simple, too. PolicyWriter's interface integration capabilities built on industry-standard XML allow you to adjust an interface by simply appending a data element, then send example XML or XSD to a services developer with a few clicks.
Patented Methodology
PolicyWriter's integral prototyping is based on leading edge technology that has earned multiple patents. The capability PolicyWriter's prototyping brings our clients who save time, money, and frustration by not throwing away good development work isn't just evolutionary. It's revolutionary.

I have been extremely fortunate to have such giving and thoughtful people in my life who support my passion for photography and trust me enough to let me borrow cameras, and in this case, give me one. This Pentax 35mm camera is a gift from my boyfriend's grandparents. It had never been used before- strap, lens cleaner, lens cover, and more still in their 1970s packaging. One of the best gifts I've ever received. I don't travel much, so most of the time I feel as if I don't have much to photograph, but now that I've got this baby all set up, I'm definitely going to be taking more photos.
I hadn't used a film camera since my Black & White photography class last year, but these photos didn't turn out too bad. Luckily Walgreens still processes film for a fairly cheap price. I'm not sure if the hazy look of the photos is from the campfire smoke, the humidity, or the expired film I've been using.
(BTW- Did you know expired film is being sold online for a high price? I just got a couple boxes handed to me & wasn't sure if I should use it, so I Googled it, and BAM! Apparently it's supposed to give photos a neat effect & is sought after.)
These are from Nelson Ledges Quarry Park over 4th of July weekend.
Hopefully I'll have more film photos to share soon!
