Our personal caregiving stories:
Our personal caregiving stories:
One of the most important attributes in this industry is compassion – compassion for those you care for. We can teach a lot of business skills, we can share a lot of understanding, a lot of expertise, but the ability to be compassionate is probably the most important ingredient. You'll find that most of our owners of Assisting Hands have had some experience with a disabled child or an aged parent that they cared for, and that compassion is part of their life story.Lane KofoedPresident & CEO
We look for those types of people who really have it in their DNA to be caregivers…It's so important for seniors – one of the last wishes we can grant for them is where they can spend the last weeks, months, or days of their life. And if they can spend it at home, it increases the quality of that part of their life.Robert ThomasFort Myers, Florida
As a physical therapist, I can only do so much to strengthen people. If mentally, they're not safe to be alone, they need a caregiver – someone to do medication reminders, someone to make sure they are eating correctly, someone to help monitor their chronic health conditions, and that's what Assisting Hands does.Rich UeberflussChicago, Illinois
I became a widow and I ended up being responsible for my deceased husband's parents, which made me realize that I had pretty high standards for what I wanted to hire and I couldn't find anybody that met those standards.Judy BradyOrange County, CA
When I started researching with different companies and different franchises, I decided I wanted to go with Assisting Hands because Assisting Hands had the most through process in terms of making sure that the franchise owners are getting into the business because they like working with others, they are very ethical, they are committed to serving others, and you know they were going to do a good job to preserve the name of the company. That's something different I saw with Assisting Hands versus the other companies.Armando MoralesMiami, Florida

On behalf of Swiss Re, Qin Lu, Swiss Re Beijing Branch General Manager, received the award from a member of the judging panel, Wen Wang, Dean of the Insurance School of the University of International Business and Economics, at the award ceremony on 17 January in Beijing.
When announcing the decision, the judging panel highlighted the fact that Swiss Re made important contributions to the development of the insurance industry in China through good efforts in the following three areas:
• Leveraging international experience to best meet the needs of insurers in China in the lines of motor, liability, engineering and agriculture, as well as in the health insurance sector
• Participating actively in the discussion of the new solvency regime

There is a palpable apprehension in the air as almost every asset class seems to be frozen into procrastination. For weeks crude prices have traded around $60, gold around $1200, the Dow Jones Industrial Average around 18,000 and most significantly EURUSD has failed to break below parity. In the past few days the dollar has gone nowhere and the bond market rout has stabilised. Investors are readying themselves for Thursday's Eurozone finance minister meeting which is widely being seen as make or break for Greece. The reason why it's different this time is because without something agreed before the huge payments that are due at the end of this month Greece is going to seriously struggle to repay the IMF in June, let alone July and August and any deal will need to be run past the Greek parliament. So for now many investors are in wait and see mode, whilst others are shedding their exposure to riskier assets as European indices continue with their downward slide.
On top of this the market is also in semi-paralysis ahead of tomorrow's FOMC rate decision where the hope is that further detail will be forthcoming as to when we can expect the first rate hike from the Federal Reserve. An update to economic projections with a new dot chart should provide not only greater guidance as to whether we'll see just one or two rate hikes this year and determine whether September is the favourite for the first one, but also give a better idea of when and where the end rate will be, currently expected to be above 3.00% by the end of 2017. The lack of dollar traction suggests the market is preparing for a dovish statement tomorrow which would keep a lid on any upward dollar momentum, making yet again EURUSD the key FX rate to watch.

23% Think Schools Assign Too Much Homework
Platinum Homepage
National Survey of 1,000
American Adults
Conducted April 22-23, 2014
By Rasmussen Reports
1* How important is homework in assessing a student's overall performance in school – very important, somewhat important, not very important or not at all important?
2* Do elementary and secondary schools these days assign too much homework or not enough? Or is the amount of homework about right?
3* How much should parents help their children with homework – a lot, some or not at all?

The answer will probably surprise you.
It always fascinates me when people try to starve themselves or work themselves to death to lose weight. That MAY help temporarily but it is not sustainable and doesn't lead to long-term weight-loss success or wellness.
In fact, to go all medical science on you…over exercising is actually counterintuitive to weight loss. When you over-exercise, your body produces stress hormones, CRH and Cortisol are two we are majorly concerned with in this instance. CRH contributes to the permeability (translation: leakiness) of your intestinal walls. So much, if not all of your health starts in your gut, a leaking gut is a major concern.
Then you have Cortisol. Cortisol is a beat down of a hormone causing all kinds of issues in the gut including slowing down the time it takes to move food around and can add more fluff to your mid-section.
So what do you do? How much is too much? Clearly sitting on your rear isn't a good solution. I advise my clients to get 30 minutes of intentional movement in per day. Notice I said "movement" not "running" or "cross fit" or "weight training." This may look like taking a walk, or cycling, or even running depending on your fitness level, but not every day. I like my clients to look at movement like playing…what did you like to play when you were a kid? This is a great way to get your movement in.
If you want to do something more intense, that is okay! Just keep it to 30 minutes, about 3 times per week. The rest of the time, playful movement is encouraged.
So why does this help me lose weight?
A couple reasons, one of them being the layers theory. By gradually becoming more active instead of diving head first into a crazy over-workout routine, you layer on positive habits and changes that are easy to stick to. Another reason is that you are moving in what we call the "optimal range," kind of like Goldi-Locks, you are in the zone of "just right" and it helps your hormone levels stay there too.
Let summarize the basics to getting your movement in and getting the level just right:
- Add movement into your natural routine. I frequently ride my bike on errands that are closer than a 5-10 mile radius. I walk to the mailbox (which is a mile away) even if I drive past it a couple times a day. These are things you can do to, even if you just stand up to walk around the office.
- Utilize HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout no more than 3 days a week. It produces hormones that counteract the CRH and Cortisol. Its really simple, do something at moderate to maximum effort for 30 seconds, then leisurely for 90 seconds and repeat 8 times. You can also add a 3 minute warm-up and cold-down period if you like. Don't go past 8 times, then you cross-over in the strenuous zone.
- Think play not work. What did you love as a kid? Cycling? Gymnastics? Volleyball? Find movement that mirrors that. I love yoga, paddle boarding, biking, hiking, swimming — all of those things work for movement and are entertaining to me.
- Eat something. On the days you do the HIIT workout, break your fast or grab something to eat afterwards. Reach for something protein packed, like eggs or meat. Avoid "recovery drinks" as they are packed with additives and junk your body doesn't need. Real food is best.
- Get plenty of sleep. You know you should be getting plenty of sleep! Did you know it can actually stop you from losing weight? Not enough sleep increases cortisol and CRH levels. Aim for an average of 7 hours of quality sleep. Quality sleep happens in a pitch black, cool, quiet room.
Let's sort this out before you leave. Post what you enjoyed doing when you were a kid and I will help you come up with your "adulting" version of that.

The government in August had unveiled the initiative for the Indian Army based on recommendations of a committee headed by Lt Gen (retd) D B Shekatkar which was tasked with suggesting steps to enhance combat capability of the armed forces.
Ms Sitharaman reviewed implementation of the reform process at a high-level meeting attended by Army Chief Gen. Bipin Rawat, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal B S Dhanoa and top officials of the Defence Ministry, official sources said.
While accepting the panel's 65 recommendations dealing with the Army, the government had left 34 suggestions relating to tri-services issues.
In the meeting, Ms Sitharaman also discussed ways to implement some of the 34 recommendations of panel whose implementation will impact all the three services.
One of the major recommendations of the Shekatkar committee was appointing a tri-service chief and government is yet to take a call on it.

Our kitchen floor here is so sticky that it rips my flip-flops right off my feet when I walk across. Why, you ask? Are we that dirty? Nope–we're home brewers now.
We've had two big glass carboys for a few months now, but we still needed a lot of other equipment and ingredients to get started. Then this weekend my brother and his girlfriend Aliza–who is an avid homebrewer–came to visit. Not only did they bring us some of her Czech Norris to sample, but Luke suggested we head out to Brewcraft together to get everything we needed.
The next day, Luke and Joe brewed their West Coast Pale ale while I documented the process and occasionally held hot things. You can check out the full photo set here:
Our recipe, handwritten by Griz himself.
Joe watches water boil. He can't wait to add the grains. Straining the grain tea and adding more water. This process took longer than it needed to because we only have a very small colander with rather large holes. Hops. Finally, into the primary fermenter. By the next day, it was frothing and bubbling like crazy. The best part of my job was making bread out of the spent grain afterward. It turned out great.
And now, for your moment of zen:

Курсы, тренинги
м. Партизанская
Русский рукопашный бой
First-level instructor: Randall Jones – July 2004, Fribourg, Switzerland
Last year, I had the opportunity to take part in a two-week systema seminar of SpetsNaz held in Tver. For six hours each day, I trained with Russian military and non-military personnel directly on the military base as well as in the surrounding forest. The systema seminar was a very enriching experience not only from a martial arts perspective but from a human one as well.
The instructors were top-notch in their field and showed us the various techniques in a very professional and efficient manner. We learned about bio mechanics, levers and angles of attack, the importance of breathing and relaxation, how to roll, perform locks and throws, toss knives, avoid strikes with and without weapons, hit and kick opponents. We also learnt how to load and unload an AK-74 and safely jumped (several times) from a vehicle moving at 10, 20, 30 and 40 km/hour on asphalt.
At the same time, all of the participants and instructors showed kindness and generosity towards me and the three other foreigners who attended the seminar. Spetsnaz training took place in a spirit of openness, warmth and hospitality. I hope to train again one day with the people that I met there.
The Director of the Center, Mr Vadim Starov, made extra special efforts to accommodate me during my stay. He found a Russian family with whom I could stay, arranged to have someone pick me up and take me to/from training, and when I was unable to understand what was being said in Russian, he found very capable people to interpret into English for me.
I would like to thank MrStarov and all of the instructors at the International Center of Russian Martial Arts for their efforts to promote SystemaSpetsNaz in Russia and in other countries.

Do you know what Windows Attacks Defender is?
Beware! A new version of Rogue.VirusDoctor family fake antispywares has been spotted. The cyber criminals have let Windows Attacks Defender out into the world to generate profit and fool those PC users, who have not yet suffered from Windows Firewall Constructor, Windows Stability Guard, Windows Basic Antivirus, or other former clones. Yes, Windows Attacks Defender will try to make a profit from you with any chance it got. And do not think this could not be happening to your Windows system, because the bogus antispyware can hide itself in spam emails, browser's search links or even social networking websites, so the chances of your system getting infected are really high. Once, the bogus software starts running in your PC, there is no other way to get rid of Windows Attacks Defender but to remove it. So do not wait, and get yourself a legitimate antispyware tool to do the job!
Because Windows Attacks Defender is meant to generate profit, it is designed so cleverly that you might not even realize the scheme, until the damage is done. The rogue will implicate your Windows components (Task Manager and Windows Registry), so that you cannot run most executable files, and activate important applications. This is done so that you would not be able to detect the malware, and to trick you into thinking that the fake infection in your computer has already damaged your Windows system. Windows Attacks Defender's scanner will produce a scan report filled with hazardous threats, and you will be terrorized with the never ending onslaught of alerts, warnings and pop-ups:
Software without a digital signature detected.
Your system files are at risk. We strongly advise you to activate your protection.
Keylogger activity detected. System information security is at risk.
It is recommended to activate protection and run a full system scan.
Warning! Virus Detected
Threat detected: FTP Server
Infected file: C:\Windows\System32\dllcache\wmpshell.dll
This fake information will lead you to the purchase page, where you will be offered to buy the full version of Windows Attacks Defender. You will be able to choose between 6 Month ($49.95), 1 Year ($59.95) or Lifetime support ($99.90) services, but none of them suits you, because the offered tool is completely fake, and you will not be able to use it for your system's protection. Moreover, if you disclose your personal data, required in the Windows Attacks Defender's purchase page, it will become available to hackers and other treacherous sources.
In non-techie terms:
You need to remove Windows Attacks Defender from your system as soon as you notice its activity. If you do not do this, your PC will become exposed to additional malicious applications, and your data might be severely damaged. The best way to get rid of Windows Attacks Defender and its chaos is to trust a legitimate antispyware to delete all infected files. This choice will also guarantee you a real Windows protection, and you will not have to worry about malware again. Of course, if you are a Windows user, you could erase Windows Attacks Defender manually, however, this will not ensure your PC's security in the future.

Tips for Moving Your Children into a New Home
Before the movers start to transport your belongings to your new house, you should get your children ready for the move. If possible, visit your new house or show them pictures so they can become excited about the process. If you maintain a positive attitude, it will be easier for your children to do the same.
After the movers bring all of your belongings to your new home, let your children choose how to decorate their rooms. If they have to change schools, take a tour of the area before their first day so they know what to expect. For more great tips, listen to this podcast, number 167 from The Mighty Mommy's Quick and Dirty Tips for Practical Parenting.
Men On The Move can help you plan a successful move. With our twenty-seven years of moving and self-storage experience, we know how to give you the best services. Call (888) 617-8645 to learn more.

Sorry if this is somewhat OT, but I would like your collective opinion on the best way to record (in particular: mic choices and placement) an orchestral ensemble in this place:
Instrumentation is as follows:
1 piano
5 first violins
5 second violins
3 violas
2 cellos
1 double bass
I am somewhat concerned that the double bass may not be picked up too well, so I am considering a spot mic on the d.b. as well as the piano.
Here is the list of mics from which I could rent locally:
I\'d appreciate any suggestions. Many thanks in advance

FRCH Gives Back
May 17, 2011
May 13 was the 2nd annual FRCH clean-up day at the Gardens at Greenup. Never short for volunteers, there was plenty of help refurbishing the playground between the two residents' buildings.
There were 15 scoops of mulch spread throughout, and flowers, evergreens, and hostas were planted in the flower bed. Victim to last year's summer draught, the grassy play area needed to be aerated and seeded. The hard-working team did a quick and thorough job.
As if on cue, the skies opened up and the rain came down just as the last rake was being put away. Four days later, it's still gloomy and raining, which bodes well for the garden and the grass.
Located in Covington, KY, Gardens at Greenup is a United Way program that offers affordable housing with on-site support services. Staffers work with families to set and achieve educational and vocational goals.

Space Weather Update: 11/23/2015
By Spaceweather.com, 11/23/2015
FILAMENT ERUPTION PROBABLY MISSES EARTH: Yesterday, Nov. 22nd, a dark filament of magnetism erupted away from the sun's southeastern quadrant. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast:
SOHO has observed a faint coronal mass ejection (CME) emerging from the blast site: movie. NOAA forecasters are still computing a storm track for the CME. At first glance, however, it appears to be moving well off of the sun-Earth line. This eruption will probably miss our planet. Solar flare alerts: text or voice

AURORAS, FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON: Nov. 21st was a day of quiet space weather. There were no intense solar flares, no CMEs, and no geomagnetic storms. The auroras appeared anyway. Liselotte Kahns saw them over Sweden's Abisko National Park:
"Despite the extremely low level of solar activity, Abisko's clear sky demonstrated a nice aurora display tonight," says Kahns. "[It's] a good illustration of why this place is rated as one of the best places on Earth to see auroras."
Indeed, it is not unusual for auroras to appear over Abisko even when the forecast calls for no magnetic activity. Aurora tour guides and photographers naturally gravitate toward the Park because of its frequently-green skies. The reason is Abisko's location beneath Earth's persistent auroral oval. A gentle rain of solar wind electrons, guided to Earth by our planet's curved magnetic field, creates a polar ringof Northern Lights that intersects the latitude of Abisko, more often than not.

FLY ME TO THE MOON: Observers of America's space program have often lamented that the International Space Station cannot go to the Moon. On Nov. 21st, it looks like it finally made the trip. Dennis Simmons sends this picture from Brisbane, Qld, Australia:
Unfortunately, it only looks like the ISS has re-traced the steps of Apollo. The giant spaceship is still in Earth orbit. It did, however, pass in front of the Moon as seen by observers in parts of Australia.
"The transit lasted just 0.49 seconds," says Simmons, who used a video camera to record the split-second passage. "This is a composite of video frames taken through a C9.25 telescope."
Elsewhere in Brisbane, astrophotographer Tom Harradine also took a spectacular picture of the transit. "I caught the ISS passing by the crater Copernicus," he says.
At the time of the transit, the ISS was 400 km from Earth and almost 400 thousandkm from the Moon. So it still has a ways to go. For now, lunar transits are the next best thing to being there.

TRANSCONTINENTAL SPACE WEATHER BALLOON FLIGHT: On Nov. 21st, the students of Earth to Sky Calculus, in collaboration with Spaceweather.com and the University of New Hampshire, launched a pair of space weather balloons from opposite sides of the USA. Using cell phones to conduct a transcontinental countdown, they released the balloons at the same moment from California and New Hampshire:
Flying simultaneously, the balloons ascended to the stratosphere, sampling X-rays and gamma-rays at altitudes of interest to aviation, space tourism, and climate science. The goal of the experiment is to investigate a curious difference in radiation, which the group discovered during a previous transcontinental flight in July 2015. During the summer, radiation levels in the stratosphere above New Hampshire were more than 25% higher than California, a surprisingly wide gap considering the relatively small difference in latitude between the two launch sites. The Nov. 21st flight will confirm and expand upon the findings from July.
Update: Both payloads have parachuted back to Earth. The New Hampshire payload landed in Maine, and has since been recovered from the branches of a tall tree. The California payload landed in the Saline Valley, a desert area not far from Death Valley National Park. It will be recovered on Nov. 22nd. Stay tuned for results from the flight.

All Sky Fireball Network
Every night, a network of NASA all-sky cameras scans the skies above the United States for meteoritic fireballs. Automated software maintained by NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office calculates their orbits, velocity, penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere and many other characteristics. Daily results are presented here on Spaceweather.com.
On Nov. 23, 2015, the network reported 20 fireballs.
(14 sporadics, 4 Leonids, 2 Northern Taurids)
In this diagram of the inner solar system, all of the fireball orbits intersect at a single point–Earth. The orbits are color-coded by velocity, from slow (red) to fast (blue). [Larger image] [movies]
Near Earth Asteroids
Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs is on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time.
On November 23, 2015 there were potentially hazardous asteroids.

Cosmic Rays in the Atmosphere
Situation Report — Oct. 30, 2015Stratospheric Radiation (+37o N)
Cosmic ray levels are elevated(+6.1% above the Space Age median). The trend is flat. Cosmic ray levels have increased +0% in the past month.
Sept. 06: 4.14 uSv/hr (414 uRad/hr)
Sept. 12: 4.09 uSv/hr (409 uRad/hr)
Sept. 23: 4.12 uSv/hr (412 uRad/hr)

Oct. 11: 4.02 uSv/hr (402 uRad/hr)
Oct. 22: 4.11 uSv/hr (411 uRad/hr)
These measurements are based on regular space weather balloon flights: learn more.
Approximately once a week, Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus fly "space weather balloons" to the stratosphere over California. These balloons are equipped with radiation sensors that detect cosmic rays, a surprisingly "down to Earth" form of space weather. Cosmic rays can seed clouds, trigger lightning, and penetrate commercial airplanes. Our measurements show that someone flying back and forth across the continental USA, just once, can absorb as much ionizing radiation as 2 to 5 dental X-rays. Here is the data from our latest flight, Oct. 22nd:
Radiation levels peak at the entrance to the stratosphere in a broad region called the "Pfotzer Maximum." This peak is named after physicist George Pfotzer who discovered it using balloons and Geiger tubes in the 1930s. Radiation levels there are more than 80x sea level.
Note that the bottom of the Pfotzer Maximim is near 55,000 ft. This means that some high-flying aircraft are not far from the zone of maximum radiation. Indeed, according to the Oct 22th measurements, a plane flying at 45,000 feet is exposed to 2.79 uSv/hr. At that rate, a passenger would absorb about one dental X-ray's worth of radiation in about 5 hours.
The radiation sensors onboard our helium balloons detect X-rays and gamma-rays in the energy range 10 keV to 20 MeV. These energies span the range of medical X-ray machines and airport security scanners.

basic strawberry cake
strawberries shouldn't be consumed at this time of the year. i know that. a dear blog-friend of mine even explained to me as to why it doesn't make sense, in an ecological way. but i can't help it: i looove strawberries in early spring time! i don't know why i think they taste better now than later, when it's summer and actual strawberry season. i can't help but crave strawberries now. their sweetness and juiciness is what makes me buy them, even though i know you really shouldn't.
side note: so, dear grown-up readers, please be a good (or better than i am…) example and don't buy them for your kids and families! just don't! this shouldn't be a strawberry advertising. at least i didn't intend it to be… ugh, okay. i've got the impression that's an epic fail here… sorry?
anyway. you might just want to try this basic (and really, really yummy) strawberry cake when strawberries are officially legitimate? if you can wait until then. i'm sure nature would appreciate you being all responsible! you'd probably get a really big bonus on karma points! imagine!
basic strawberry cake
recipe adapted from smittenkitchen (originally) and foodonpaper
85 g butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
500 g strawberries, halved
icing sugar
preheat oven to 180 degrees. grease a round tin, and dust with a little flour. combine the butter with the sugar, first. beat until homogenous and fluffy. add the egg, vanilla and milk. then sift in the flour, add the baking powder and salt. combine well, then pour the mix into the tin. place the strawberries on top of the dough, face side down. you might want to sprinkle a little extra sugar on top, this makes a nice sweet crust. bake for about 1 hour at 160 degrees. take out, let cool and then dust with icing sugar before serving. i recommend to serve it with crème double de gruyère.
gee, that might not be really ecologically conscious and all, but so good…

According to a 2011 study by the Pew Research Center, 75% of adults send and receive text messages, and adults in the 18-24 age range send and receive an average of over 100 messages per day! Adults who send or receive at least 21 text messages per day are more likely to prefer a text message than a phone call, and heavier text message users prefer texts by a margin of 2 to 1 over calls. Over all age ranges, over a third of your customers would prefer to be contacted by text message, and that percentage is much higher among younger customers. Traffic Control's text messaging feature won't replace the phones in your dealership, but it does allow your salespeople to tailor their approach to each prospect and to contact your customers using whichever method they prefer, so that they are more comfortable with the sales process and more likely to buy!
Our market research indicates that many salespeople in TC dealerships already use their personal cell phones to send text messages to prospects, but Traffic Control's integrated text messaging has many advantages over allowing the use of personal cell phones:
- Managers have full visibility of text messages sent and received using Traffic Control.
- If a salesperson quits or is terminated, control over the communication remains with the dealership. Ups can be reassigned to a new salesperson, who can pick up where the last one left off.
- Customizable "quick text" messages allow frequently-used message text to be entered with two mouse clicks, making it easier to send messages and giving marketing staff control over what is said in messages.
- Traffic Control's approach conforms to legal telemarketing requirements and automatically responds to opt-out commands such as "STOP" and "START." Messages sent from a personal cell phone for solicitation purposes could put your dealership at risk!
- Traffic Control's text messaging includes spell check capabilities, and does away with dreaded "autocorrect errors" that can make you look unprofessional.
- Employees can send web links to vehicles in your inventory with a single mouse click – recipients will be redirected to your dealership's web page.
- Employees can set an appointment, open the customer's UP record, view the inventory record for the customer's desired vehicle, or move the customer into a new vehicle, right from the text messaging screen. All of the information they need to arrange a test drive and make the appointment is right where they need it!

GENEVA (AP) � The number of people worldwide infected with the virus that causes AIDS � about 33 million � has remained virtually unchanged for the past two years, United Nations experts said yesterday.
Officials said the global epidemic probably peaked in 1996 and that the disease looks stable in most regions, except for Africa. Last year, HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa accounted for 72 percent of all 2.7 million new HIV cases worldwide.
Daniel Halperin, an AIDS expert at Harvard University, said it was good news the rate of new infections was dropping and that access to AIDS drugs was helping to cut the death rate. Earlier this year, the United Nations announced there are now 4 million people on lifesaving AIDS drugs worldwide, a 10-fold increase in five years.
In the report by the World Health Organization and UNAIDS, the experts estimated there are now about 33.4 million people worldwide with HIV. In 2007, the figure was about 33.2 million.
With the United Nations�s confirmation HIV is now declining in most countries, some experts said the report should change the spending habits of international donors. Globally, HIV causes about 4 percent of all deaths but gets about 23 cents of every public health dollar. �We shouldn�t let this single disease continue to distort overall global funding, especially when bigger killers like pneumonia and diarrhea in developing countries are far easier and cheaper to treat,� said Philip Stevens of International Policy Network, a London-based think tank.
In the report, U.N. officials wrote that �AIDS continues to be a major public health priority� and called for more funds to support their effort. Officials said the drugs have saved nearly 3 million lives.
People with HIV who start the drugs must continue indefinitely, so the cost of treating HIV will continue to rise, even as the epidemic fades. Prices could skyrocket if resistance develops and more expensive regimens are needed.
Whether previous U.N. initiatives are responsible for the epidemic�s downturn is uncertain. Some experts said the drop in HIV might simply be a result of the virus burning itself out, rather than the result of any health interventions.
Ties Boerma, a WHO statistics expert, said countries whose HIV prevalence dramatically declined were not always those that got the most AIDS money.
The report also noted that where treatment is available, rates of HIV are either stable or rising.
Elizabeth Pisani, an epidemiologist who once worked for UNAIDS, said when people with HIV don�t take their drugs exactly as prescribed, they have periods where they become infectious, giving the virus a chance to spread. Most people without treatment die before infecting many others.
�In theory, treatment may have an important preventative effect, but in practice, it can actually make things worse,� Pisani said. �We obviously can�t stop treatment, but we need to do a lot more on prevention.�
Stevens said the fact that AIDS peaked more than a decade ago suggests it is now time for the global community to prioritize other health problems.
Outside of the worst-affected countries such as South Africa, respiratory infections, heart disease and malaria are bigger killers.
�Against this backdrop, it is unjust that AIDS should commandeer such a disproportionate level of funding,� Stevens said.

As one of the largest states, Texas offers a multitude of entertaining choices to make your holidays memorable and eventful. Spanning everything from historic towns, natural parks, fishing piers, coastal beaches and special festive events like holiday performances, trails of lights, and even a Christmas Capitol, the visitors have boundless options to choose from for their family and friends. The capital city of Austin and its sister cities Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, are only the beginning of fascinating and enjoyable travel destinations around the state.
Every year you can attend the lighting of a giant Christmas tree near the front steps of the Texas Capitol Building. There's live entertainment after the ceremony, which showcases Austin's renowned local music scene. Holiday lights adorn the businesses, bridges, and trees of Sixth Street. Quite possibly Texas' best-known street, Sixth Street, is seven blocks of historic homes and commercial buildings dating back to the late 1800′s and early 1900′s. These old buildings were restored to house restaurants, live music bars, art galleries and trendy shops.
Holiday DeLights at Fair Park, the site of the annual Texas State Fair, captivates visitors with a 1,000,000 lights, a laser show, free movie screenings, Victorian carolers, quartets and of course Santa, his Elves and his reindeer. December truly is a magical month for the entire family, can you imagine one of the largest collections of 1930s art and architecture decorated in holiday style?
The city's 66-acre Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is featured for the first time an exhibition called The 12 Days of Christmas. The garden will come alive in the evening as guests will have the rare opportunity to stroll the garden as they view Victorian gazebos filled with mechanical characters and animals inspired by the famed Christmas carol.
The holiday celebrations begin Thanksgiving evening in America's fourth largest city. Thousands gather along Post Oak Boulevard every year for the fireworks event and lighting of 80 trees. In December, more than 2 million lights illuminate life-size animated animal sculptures at The Houston Zoo.
San Antonio
Did you know that San Antonio is the state's most visited tourism destination? There's a good reason… The San Antonio River Walk.
For over 30 years, the day after Thanksgiving, the San Antonio River is filled with decorated and illuminated barges for the hour-long parade. San Antonio is also the setting for the Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza, the largest mariachi competition in the U.S. In December, the San Antonio tradition of tamale making is celebrated with Tamales! Holiday Festival at Pearl and La Gran Tamalada. The local holiday favorites are dessert tamales, and if you get a chance, you should try them.
About an hour's drive from Houston, Galveston has a fantastic new attraction – Ice Land. Moody Gardens keeps their event at a chilly 9 degrees, so don your complimentary parka and explore the $5 million ice sculpture park (and you thought buying bags of ice at a convenient store were expensive). This exhibit features 30-foot tall holiday-themed characters in a wide variety of scenes and Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants with his underwater friends. You can also check out the mile-long Festival of Lights, an ice rink and ride down an enormous ice slide.
For truly unique Christmas memories, Grapevine is the place for your family. It calls itself the Christmas Capitol and rightly so, for the variety and scale of events hosted by this city during the holidays.Some of the events include North Pole Express, Carol of Lights, Parade of Lights, Santa's Wonderland, and live music at the Historic Palace Theatre, Christmas Wine Trains and after Christmas train rides.

It seems that the forum went south, and that great thread that started a couple days ago is lost.
Anyway, Jonathon Cox suggested that we share more pieces with that orchestration.
I did this Horn ensemble (Actually slow solo horn chords, which kind of sound like woodwinds or something else [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ), viola section, and solo cello: http://home.attbi.com/~nxcm/Moonlight.mp3
It\'s less than 500 Kb, and I was experimenting with some reverb combination and mixing.

By Jay Forte, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – With just sixty days left until the Rio 2016 Olympic games, Team USA football (soccer) star Christen Press took some time to share her thoughts on the upcoming Olympic tournament. A total of 26 games will be played in the women's tournament with Team USA in the Group G draw with New Zealand, France, and Colombia, and their first match will be on August 3rd, against New Zealand in Belo Horizonte.
As one of the youngest players on the U.S. Women's National Soccer team (USWNT), Press quickly earned the respect of her teammates in the opening game of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup when she scored a goal, leading her team to a victory over Australia and advancing them in the tournament.
Throughout the rest of the tournament, Christen remained a crucial contributor and a leader on and off the field. Even recently, with the USWNT on their "Victory Tour" around the country, Christen has consistently been scoring goals and even had a few hat-tricks.
Now, with the 2016 Olympics rapidly approaching, the 27-year-old is excited to bring her talents to the Cidade Maravilhosa, and talks about her impressions of Brazil. "I have been to Brasília, but not Rio," Press told The Rio Times. Adding, "I'm excited to be able to see a lot of different regions in Brazil this Olympics. It's a beautiful country with a rich culture. My best friend currently lives in São Paulo and speaks so highly of his experience there."
With her Stanford education, cover-girl smile, and olympic athletic talent, Press is a formidable package. Yet, not one to rest on her previous accomplishments, she is driven to reach greater heights, including at the Games. "My personal goal is always to be the best version of myself. That means staying focused, improving, and never letting up. As a team, our team holds the highest standards. We are going to Brazil with full intention to win gold, and we find a lot of pride and strength in that resolve."
On the heels of winning the World Cup, the prospects for the team look good. Ex-star and ESPN commentator Julia Foudy said, "The U.S. women's national team should absolutely win the Olympic gold medal in Rio, because well, it is the U.S. team."
Adding, "This isn't me being patriotically swayed (although it does happen on occasion), but rather, realistic. Factual. The U.S. women's team has more funding, more players, more support, more everything than every other women's team in the world. And not by a little. By a lot."
For other young athletes looking to achieve their dreams, Christen Press says the most important thing is to approach each day as an opportunity to improve, "Just stay focused on each day. What are you doing today to be the best version of you?" Christen shared, "Enjoy each moment and each experience for what it is. The value is in the journey."
The 2016 Rio Olympics will take place on August 5th to the 21st, and is the first Olympic Games to take place in South America. It is expected that over ten thousand athletes will arrive soon to Rio and be staying at the Olympic Village in Barra da Tijuca, along with an estimated 500,000 international fans in the city.
Five other cities aside from Rio are hosting games in the football tournament: Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Manaus, Salvador and Sao Paulo.

Coming straight from Cincinnati is guitar packing Dylan Holland. This is one person that does not keep his head buried in the ground when it comes to his fans. Dylan always appreciates his fans. He never goes without saying thank you or love you to his fans, he is a true down to earth artist. This has played a part in him becoming so popular , and second he is dynamite when it comes to his singing and guitar playing. He is so smooth when he plays guitar, he never misses a lick. When it comes to his vocals he has a great tone, and delivers a song very well. He is a person that can keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more. It shows that this is true considering, he only started sing barely a year ago. He has already gotten over 800,000 hits in this short time on YouTube and over 12,000 followers on twitter. This is truly remarkable, and proves what kind of artist he is and how genuine. Dylan is just himself, he does not pretend to be anyone , just check out his videos and you will see what a great guy he is.
Dylan may have only started sing about a year ago, but he has been playing the guitar for a long time, and it really shows. He had always wanted to sing, but he says, he just was not very good. So he would come home from school and record himself singing, then play it back and listen to what he need to work on. He did this for months, and it has sure paid off. He has a great unique sound to his voice that makes the songs he sings, awesome!. His first public performance was in November 2010. He performed at a charity event at a local mall. From this one performance his fan base began to grow after some kids there heard him sing. He has since played several shows in Nashville at the Teen Hoot. The Teen Hoot has become his favorite place that he has performed. He says, it was just a great atmosphere, and got to play with so many other talented kids. The Teen Hoot was a contest and he ended up winning. What a fantastic start to a great career. Last month he did audition for Majors and Minors TV show, and made the TV auditions. So be sure to tune in to see and hear Dylan coming up this fall on Hub Network.
He is a real music man, when he sings there is nothing else around him that matters. It puts him in a position to where he is completely happy. It shows in all his videos how happy he is when performing, and you can bet his fans are happy as well. Music is his escape from the real world, and everything that is going on in it. He wants to try and make everyone happy, and make them feel like they were put on this earth for a reason. He would like for other kids that have dreams and aspirations to never give up. Dylan says, that just knowing that singing and playing his guitar could make a boy or girl`s day, is breath taking and is good enough for him.
There is one thing that you can say about his singing and guitar playing, and that is, excellent! He has written several songs and a couple are ready for release, so be sure to keep up with Dylan, and get his songs when they come out, they are sure to be awesome.

Rumour: Tata to develop a budget car for VW?
Tata Motors could develop an entry-level small car completely or partially for the German automaker. The vehicle will be sold through VW dealerships. The reason behind this association could be Tata Motor's expertise in developing cost effective cars. (Nano fame)
The Budget Car is designed for entry level markets like China and India.
Volkswagen was earlier unsuccessful in its earlier venture of budget cars as it could not contain the target cost.
The new car will be offered cheaper than the previously smallest VW model.

Great news, in terms of the tie up.
A global brand with huge legacy and which has its roots in a low cost budget friendly car - the Beetle (Nano of Germany of its times) can't develop a low cost car for India? Strange.
Yes I admit that they tried to crack the nut with VW Up! but failed to launch it in here.
Now Tata Motors seems a wise partner to begin the hunt again as they know Indian market better than VW.
I wonder what happened to their parntership with Suzuki? They could have been a better option as well.
Now I Tata haters will start trolling with lines like 'get ready to see rattling VW' or 'most reliable brand partners with the most unreliable brand ' etc.

re: Rumour: Tata to develop a budget car for VW?
Frankly, I am not very excited. Many international car makers have come and tried their luck in the budget segment, but they've all burned their fingers.
I hope they don't go the Honda/Toyota way and compromise on quality to keep costs down.

re: Rumour: Tata to develop a budget car for VW?
I don't understand what does Tata get out of this? They are yet to find a footing in the Nano segment themselves, and are developing a potential Nano replacement themselves.
If VW's intention is to design a 'smart city car' like Nano, I think the market isn't ready for that. At present India is still a market for the jack of all trades, than to the master of few. The prices for such cars (VW Up! or Smart) too are priced similar to ones like the Fiat Panda, Suzuki Celerio in the European market. I doubt Indian pricing can be the same way.

Tata Motors and Volkswagen may work on joint small car projects
Though not exclusively related to this particular Pelican project, but just read that Volkswagen and Tata Motors to partner up for low cost car.
I understand that this is still on the papers at this stage, but I really loved the last line, "If Tata Motors expertise in cost management and VWs expertise in vehicle engineering come together, we are in for some interesting marketing-defining products."
Its now for the experts to advise the feasibility of the project and if it materialises, then what all we can expect?

Re: Tata Motors and Volkswagen may work on joint small car projects
Looks like a very potent development if it really comes through, and one that definitely deserves a thread of its own. Volkswagen has tried this several times in the past to be more effective in offering cost effective solutions at the entry level of the spectrum.
Business Standard has more on this and so have NDTV.

Well unless you're living under a rock, you're probably aware of the recent changes to the Canadian mortgage rules. If you're not, no offence but here they are.
Effective March 18, 2011.
So what does all this mean?
First of all, let me start off with HELOC's. What I found very interesting with this particular change was most of the lenders we do business with had stopped offering this option a long time ago. In all honesty, I wasn't aware there were lenders still out there offering this product so really "who cares!"
As for lowering the amortization periods from 35 years to 30 years, I feel this was a very good move on the government's part because…
So for example if you were borrowing $250,000 at 3.75%...
Makes sense so far right? Agreed, but where I have a problem is the concept of lowering somebody's ability of refinancing their home from 90% to 85%. Why?
Well the governments answer is they don't want Canadians to be able to re-finance our homes to buy boats and big screen TV's.
Thanks for the advice on how to spend my money Mr. Flaherty but I don't recall the government using that same element of prudence when it came to spending of $1 Billion on the G20 summit in Toronto that was nothing but a waste of time and a real embarrassment to our Country.
Hey, I'm all for practicing prudence but in my experience as a mortgage agent, I didn't have people re-financing to buy toys. What they were re-financing for was to pay back the bandit banks and credit card companies because of the exorbitant amount of interest they charge and never mind the lack of regulations that don't exist when it comes to obtaining this credit in the first place.
I equate this move to be equivalent to firing all the lifeguards in the public pools. Let's face consumer credit is just too easily obtained and unfortunately people from time to time get in trouble with this easy access to credit. Their only saving grace was the fact that one could use the equity in their homes to pay those credit cards off and make life less stressful with such high payments.
But now that there's less money available, I have to assume that this move will cause more people to sell rather than re-finance which will obviously create more listings in the market place and of course if the laws of supply and demand prevail, this will cause home prices to go down.
It would be nice to have a government that has the balls to stand up to the banks and demand them to change their policies on consumer credit as opposed to playing politics and trying to make it look like they're acting for the greater good.
Just my opinion

Wilfred "Bill" Winkenbach.Wilfred "Bill" Winkenbach devised fantasy golf in the latter part of the 1950s,in which each player selected a team of professional golfers and the person with the lowest combined total of stokes at the end of the tournament would win.Golf is a simple fantasy game to administer and keep tabs on, since participants are concerned only with the scores of their team members without anything else to complicate it.
Rotisserie, or 'Roto', is the most common way to play Fantasy baseball. In this scoring format teams are ranked from first to last in each statistical category. Points are then awarded according to the order in each category and totaled to determine an overall score and league rank.
Fantasy Sports Magazine debuted in 1989 as the first regular publication covering more than one fantasy sport. Fantasy Football Weekly was launched in 1992 (later becoming Fanball.com) and had $2 million in revenue by 1999. A large number of companies emerged to calculate the stats for fantasy leagues and primarily send results via fax. In 1993, USA Today included a weekly columnist on fantasy baseball, John Hunt, and he became perhaps the most visible writer in the industry before the rise of the Internet. Hunt started the first high-profile experts league, the League of Alternate Baseball Reality which first included notables as Peter Gammons, Keith Olbermann and Bill James. The hobby continued to grow with 1 million to 3 million playing from 1991 to 1994.
In 1969, Andy Mousalimas, an original creator of GOPPPL and participant in the inaugural draft, brought the game to his sports bar, the King's X in Oakland, California where he added another couple of leagues. When the patrons of other Oakland and San Francisco bars visited for trivia contests they soon learned of fantasy football and passed the word about it. Due to the time consuming nature of the game's scoring it was difficult to pick up and spread slowly across the country. For years, the popularity of fantasy football grew slowly. In 1976, several high school students held their first draft and in 2016 their league, Coach the Pros, will have their 41st draft, making them the longest continuously operating fantasy football league in the world
fantasy sport was a $2B industry, experiencing 10.7% annual growth, and employing 4,386 people in 292 businesses. As of September 2015, the Fantasy Sports Trade Association estimates that 56.8 million people age 12 and above in the U.S. and Canada played fantasy sports in 2015.
There are conflicting arguments over whether paid daily fantasy sports games constitute gambling, due to its mixture of chance-based and skill-based elements. Critics of DFS have argued that because athlete performance can vary on a week-to-week basis, players are essentially wagering on the performance of individual athletes during a given game, rather than managing their team on a week-to-week basis across a season. On the other hand, proponents have argued that the act of preparing a daily fantasy team is an activity of skill, as it requires knowledge of the sport, its individual players and their respective performance at a particular moment in time, and the ability to select suitable players within the limitation of a salary cap
A large factor in the growth of fantasy sports was the rise of the Internet and personal computers in the mid-1990s. The new technology lowered the barrier to entry to the hobby as stats could quickly be compiled online and news and information became readily available.
The Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) is a Chicago, Illinois-based trade group representing the fantasy sports industry, listing over 200 member companies on its web site as of June 2015. Members range from small startups to large media corporations.
People play fantasy sports for the competition, love of the sport, and prizes/rewards.
The ethical dilemma is that these sites require payment because they fit the definition of a gambling site.
It used to be that NFL fans mostly paid attention to local games, tuning into big, nationally broadcast games now and then. Now every game -- even those involving last place teams thousands of miles away -- can be crucial to a fans' fantasy team. The upshot: people are watching a lot more football, making those out-of-town games more valuable to the league than ever.
In 2014, 16% of all American adults were playing fantasy sports of some kind. A year later, that number is now 22%. The industry managed to attract 6% of the adult population of the US in a single year. That's 15 million new users. Where did all of these new users come from? In short, from the two biggest companies in the DFS world, FanDuel (founded in 2009) and DraftKings (founded in 2012). By leaning heavily on advertising and big money prizes, these two companies have pushed that growth curve nearly vertical, with annual growth reaching 41% in 2015.
Fantasy sports demographic: 66% Male // 34% Female, Average Age: 38.6, College Degree or More: 66%, Have a household income of $75k+: 51%, Have full-time employment: 67%, Average Annual Spending Per Fantasy Player (age 18+): $556, Favorite Fantasy Sport: Football, Fantasy Sports Players that Pay League Fee: 70%

Yesterday was a very eventful day. It started as I woke up that morning, soon to be met by horrible thunderstorms and tornado warnings. The scary part was the thunder that would just keep thundering beyond the normal few seconds that had me second guessing if it was actually thunder. Not fun. After all that excitement ended, I went to my moms and put together her new grill, for that I should get a medal. Not because I was nice to put it together, but because it was tough to put together. Finally, after dinner without Shawn (he worked late), Abbey and I went to the gym. I ran my 3.1 miles in the start of my prep for my upcoming 5k that I still haven't signed up for yet. That's today's to do list.
After leaving the gym, Abbey had a dilemma. She has a friend at the gym named Aurora, just like Sleeping Beauty. Abbey was quite upset that she didn't have a Disney princess name and wanted to know why I didn't name her after a Disney princess. She continued to ask which princess she could change her name to and to hurry because she has to tell her friend her new name when we got to the gym the next time. Ugh, I hate deadlines!
One more thing, I googled "Asheville chamber 5k" and my husbands blog came up on the first page! He was excited, how funny is that!

The Growing Crisis in Mathematics Education in the Years Leading up to World War II.
Stanic, George M. A.
The ways in which the "internal" reform ideas of mathematics educators in the period 1890-1940 interacted with the "external" reform ideas present in the general curriculum field are discussed. Using the interest groups identified by Kliebard (i.e., humanists, developmentalists, social efficiency educators, and social meliorists), the growing crisis in mathematics education in the years leading up to World War II is described, with extensive quotations from leaders of the day. It is suggested that the response of mathematics educators to the interaction of external and internal reform ideas provides valuable perspective for present-day mathematics educators. Based on this perspective, responses of mathematics educators to the present "crisis" in education are evaluated. (Author/MNS)

Dog Lover who likes her pastries full of cream and sugar....oh...and I write some ;-)
Aside from being an author, I am also a mom to a beautiful 5 year old little girl. I tell everyone I named her after my great-grandmother (because that's the mature answer), but really, I named her after my favorite princess - just so happens I got lucky and they had the same name...If I wasn't a writer, I would work on a horse ranch - I'm an animal lover (in addition to dogs, horses are at the top of my list). I wear flip-flops pretty much everywhere I go. I would rather stay awake until 5 am than get up at 5 am (years of bar tending have left their mark), if I can, I'm going to the beach AND I will always be nice to people who bring me chocolate...or coffee...if you bring me both, I'll probably love you forever.
A gypsy at heart, I write the way I live, following the story wherever it may lead, always ready to start the next one. This is clearly reflected in my body of work which to date includes everything from Children's Lit to Thrillers. I happily reside in sunny Florida (for now) and can be contacted via Facebook or Twitter
