I have used your services on 3 occasions and continue to be happy with your work. I was disappointed that you could not find a supplier to price you a custom shower pan base made of Corian material. Guess that's not your fault but probably a fact that not a large enough market for that price base. Happy and Prosperous New Year, Jeanette Rinehart

I am excited to announce that I will be teaching a bookbinding workshop at The Alberta Printmakers on Sept 18. This course is meant to be an introduction to book binding techniques and will cover a few essential basics that are necessary for making artisanal and crafty books.
All supplies are included in this course however the best part of book binding is using old prints as covers or having fun patterned paper to play around with, therefore it is highly recommended you bring a few old prints that you don't mind cutting down or some fun patterned paper you think would make a great book cover.
If you are interested in partaking in this workshop you can visit The Alberta Printmakers website here: http://www.albertaprintmakers.com/workshops
Be sure to also check out their many other available workshops as well!

A Bunch Of Violets Blue Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords
Unknown songwriter. Recorded by Brendan Shine. The second song in the youtube video is ''Did You Miss Me'' followed by ''Rose Of Castlerea'' , Brendan's biggest hit that got him started on the road to fame was Do You Want You're Old Lobby Washed Down. A fine singer indeed. The guitar chords are in the key of D and a version in G. Also recorded by Anne Breen. The youtube video is of Brendan Shine.
[D]It was out in a moonlit [D7]garden, not [G]far from the ballroom [D]grand,
A [D]soldier and his sweetheart went ]E]strolling hand in [A]hand.
To[D]morrow the war would call him he [G]vowed he would be [D]true
Then from her[G] breast she [D]gave to[G] him a [D]bunch of violets [A]blue.
They were only a bunch of violets, a bunch of violets blue
Fresh and fair and fragrant like diamonds on the dew.
Fresh and fair and dainty as he pressed them to his heart
He smiled and said where e'er he'd roam, from them he ne'er would part.
A soldier boy lay dying, upon the cold cold ground,
A bunch of withered violets, upon his breast was found.
Turning to his conrades with a feeble voice he sighed
Take them back and tell her that I wore them till I died.
They took the withered violets back, it being on her wedding day
An old man's gold had won her, from her soldier far away
An old man's gold had won her, from her soldier young and tall,
And this is what she said to him, that evening at the ball
Youtube video of Brendan Shine singing A Bunch Of Violets Blue.
Here's the guitar chords in the key of G
[G]It was out in a moonlit [G7]garden, not [C]far from the ballroom [G]grand,
A [G]soldier and his sweetheart went [A]strolling hand in [D]hand.
To[G]morrow the war would call him he [C]vowed he would be [G]true
Then from her[C] breast she [G]gave to[C] him a [G]bunch of violets [D]blue.

GSW can clinch their first NBA title in 30 years tonight in Cleveland, but the Cavs are tough to beat at home as they look to force a Game 7. Here are a few player prop picks that stand out for Game 6.
I don't give Cleveland much chance of going to Oakland and winning that Game 7, but there is one benefit in that the clearly gassed Cavaliers players would get that extra day of rest. They need it. So that might slightly increase their chances. Plus, frankly, I'd like to see what LeBron James can do in a Game 7 as he hasn't played in one this season. He hasn't since the Heat beat San Antonio in Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals. The Warriors and league MVP Steph Curry also haven't had to play a Game 7 yet. So from a selfish standpoint, I am rooting for the Cavaliers tonight (especially with hockey season having now ended and being denied an epic Game 7 between the Chicago Blackhawks and Tampa Bay Lightning).
NBA Finals MVP Odds:
Steph Curry -250
Andre Iguodala +2000
Since this award could be given out Tuesday night, I feel obligated to check the updated odds. I do believe that if the Warriors finish things off in six games that Curry will win it. But maybe it should go to Iguodala? This series changed when Warriors coach Steve Kerr inserted Iguodala in the starting lineup. He's averaging 14.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists in this series -- not really Finals MVP numbers. But the intangibles that Iguodala has brought, not to mention his usually strong defense on LeBron ... Iggy at least deserves some votes. He has been the most important Warrior the past two games, that can't be argued. But Curry probably locked it up with his 37-point Game 5. If James has another big game Tuesday and forces a Game 7 with such an inferior team around him, I believe he wins the award no matter what happens that Game 7. He would deserve it.
NBA Free Pick: Curry.
Klay Thompson Props:
Total points -- 'over/under' 20.5
Total rebounds + assists -- O/U 6.5
Total made free throws -- O/U 2
Total made 3-pointers -- O/U 2.5
I'm not sure that Thompson is healthy; there have been reports he is dealing with a thigh injury. And remember he had that concussion suffered in the clinching game of the Western Conference Finals against Houston. Thompson was good in the first two games of the NBA Finals, totaling 55 points. Not so much in the past two where he has totaled 21 and is a combined 9-for-23 from the field with just one made 3-pointer in each. If I'm the Cavaliers, I'm not letting Curry beat me, although that's obviously much easier said than done because he is such a wizard dribbling the ball and has an amazingly quick release. Curry said after Game 5 that Thompson simply being out there is threat enough: "The way they were defending, they were trapping me when they had the opportunity to. I kick it out, and they're obviously not going to rotate off of Klay. So he creates shots for others just by his presence on the floor." And the San Jose Mercury-News had an interesting stat on Thompson: in each of the final two games of Golden State's previous three playoff series this year: He scored at least 20 points in each of those six, averaging 23.0 and hitting 55.3 percent from the 3-point arc. Maybe we see Iman Shumpert get more time on Curry tonight and that leaves Thompson with an easier chore against Matthew Dellavedova, who looks spent.
NBA Free Picks: 'Under' points, 'over' the other three props.
Tristan Thompson Props:
Total points -- 'over/under' 11.5
Total rebounds -- O/U 11.5
Will he record a double-double -- yes, -120, no -120
I am curious what Cavaliers coach David Blatt does with center Timofey Mozgov tonight. With the Warriors going small, Blatt played Mozgov only nine minutes in Game 5 after he had a monster Game 4. I get Blatt is trying to better matchup with the smaller Warriors, but why not keep Mozgov on the floor as a rim protector and to ensure the Cavaliers dominate the boards? If Mozgov is again marginalized, that means Thompson needs to be a beast for Cleveland to win. He was very good in Game 5 with 19 points and 10 rebounds -- he has had double-digit rebounds in every game of the Finals. The guy is a human pogo stick and perhaps the best offensive rebounder in basketball right now. It's going to be tough for the Cavs to pay him big money as a free agent while also keeping Kevin Love since they play the same position. I might rather have Thompson, although he's nowhere near as gifted offensively as Love is. I'm going to presume Mozgov get limited minutes again in Game 6, which means more stats for Thompson.
NBA Free Picks: 'Over' both and yes on double-double.

Breast Cancer Survivor is a "Portrait of Hope" for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
Four years ago, the bottom dropped out of Karen Studyvin's orderly existence. Months after celebrating her fiftieth birthday, Karen was stunned to learn from her doctor, Eileen Harrahill, M.D., that she had triple negative breast cancer with four positive lymph nodes. Her breast surgeon, Sarah Beth Snell, M.D., had both bad and good news: the cancer is very aggressive, but is highly receptive to chemotherapy.
A two-and-a-half-year journey of surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatments followed for Karen, a 24-year veteran nurse at St. Anthony's who now serves as Education Specialist. During the chemotherapy, Karen's medicine kept her up at night; at one point, Karen planned her own funeral on her computer.
"You vacillate back and forth; you're never 100 percent sure you're going to survive," said Karen, who now is cancer-free. "I'm grateful to have had so many role models who maintained a positive outlook and helped me through my journey. There's been a lot of strength there. I hope to do that for other people, because I know how important that was for me."
Karen received some of her strength from her family: her husband, Terry, and their two sons, Jesse, 17, and Jonathan, 14. She says her journey battling breast cancer taught her this lesson: in the big picture, some of the things we get so flustered about really don't matter.
On an informal basis, Karen has been supporting others: her co-workers at St. Anthony's and those in her community and at her church. Now it's official: Karen Studyvin has been named one of three 2014 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of St. Louis Portraits of Hope Spokespersons in St. Louis by the American Cancer Society.
"We are thrilled to have her as part of our 2014 Portraits of Hope class," said Stephanie Hadfield, Community Events Specialist for the American Cancer Society's High Plains Division. "Karen's message is simple: she wants to make sure that the people know that the American Cancer Society is here to help."
Karen will participate in events such as the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, share her support and experience in media spots and other activities, and speak in the community on behalf of the American Cancer Society. She'll also serve as a mentor to others with cancer.
"My mission is threefold," Karen said. "I want to help educate the community about all the benefits of the American Cancer Society before someone is in need of them. I want to increase donations to the American Cancer Society so they can bring an end to breast cancer for my generation and generations to come. And, I want to let anyone know that there are supporters out there: it's not a fight they have to fight on their own."
Each year, a team from St. Anthony's and its Cancer Care Center participates in in the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. Last year, St. Anthony's was honored by the Society as a top fundraising team, with more than $4,000 raised by almost 40 participants.
Four-year veteran team captain Lisa Salvati, R.N., M.S.N., Breast Care Navigator at St. Anthony's, hopes to build the biggest team ever for this year's event, scheduled for the morning of Saturday, October 25, in Forest Park. To join the St. Anthony's team, sign up here.
"St. Anthony's recognizes and appreciates all the ways in which the American Cancer Society supports our patients, our employees and the community," Salvati said. "The ACS provides free services that not only improve the quality of life for patients undergoing cancer treatments, but also provides the type of assistance that can lead to better outcomes while easing some of the burdens associated with the treatment process. The money we raise at the Making Strides walk is committed to patients in need right here in St. Louis. We encourage everyone to join our team and help us support this wonderful organization that does so much for patients that truly benefit from our encouragement and support."
Again this year, St. Anthony's Charitable Foundation will team up with the Making Strides team to sell T-shirts to raise money for both the Making Strides walk and the SAMC Charitable Foundation Cancer Care Fund.

Everyone claims to be the biggest or the best. Look around and you will see no one comes close to our selection. Most companies have an item or two from each manufacturer. We stock full lines of more products in more sizes and we rarely run out of your favorites. In addition to the biggest selection of incense and the best incense made we also stock an enormous selection of Incense burners, censers, and accessories plus, ingredients for making your own incense.
At Ecclecstacy Arts all of our products are stored in a warehouse, not a basement, spare room or garage. We store all fabric, teas, wooden items, dishes and non-fragrant products in a separate, ventilated area. Our incense, however, is stored in a large vault-like room with almost no circulation and naturally maintained temperature and humidity control. These are two crucial factors in warehousing incense without deterioration or mildew.
Unfortunately, many customers come to us after receiving moldy or stale incense from sellers who operate in areas where hot and humid, or cold and damp are the two main types of weather. Without substantial effort and expense, it is impossible to maintain products in those locations for long without degradation.
Our energy consumption has decreased as we have grown through the installation of tubular skylights in the warehouse and LED lighting. The warehouse is designed and situated so the incense storage areas maintain cool temperatures year round, but never freeze. We have low humidity and cool nights year round which make this one of the few perfect places in the world to warehouse these products without dehumidification, air-conditioning, and heat.

چکیده انگلیسی
Controllers design problems are multi objective optimization problems as the controller must satisfy several performance measures that are often conflicting and competing with each other. In multi-objective approach a set of solutions can be generated from which the designer can select a final solution according to his requirement and need. This paper presents the design and analysis Proportional Integral (PI) and Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller employing multi-objective Non-Dominated Shorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) technique for Automatic Generation Control (AGC) of an interconnected system. To minimize the effect of noise in the input signal, a filter is employed with the derivative term. Integral Time multiply Absolute Error (ITAE), minimum damping ratio of dominant eigenvalues and settling times in frequency and tie-line power deviations are considered as multiple objectives and NSGA-II is employed to generate Pareto optimal set. Further, a fuzzy-based membership value assignment method is employed to choose the best compromise solution from the obtained Pareto solution set. The proposed approach is first applied to a linear two-area power system model and then extended to a non-linear power system model by considering the effect of governor dead band non-linearity. The superiority of the proposed NSGA-II optimized PI/PID controllers has been shown by comparing the results with some recently published modern heuristic optimization approaches such as Bacteria Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Craziness based Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO) based controllers for the similar interconnected power systems.

ALEXANDRIA, Minn. – A recent story in the Minneapolis Star Tribune told of a situation that's become all too familiar in recent years: the closing of a long-established antique mall due to declining sales.
Owner Marianne Kelly closed Mill Antiques in Stillwater, Minn., after almost two decades in business. The usual suspects were cited: Cheap imitations, the flight to the Internet, a disinterested younger generation.
Philip Davies, of TIAS.com, was quoted as saying such changes have "devastated the industry. It's amazing to me that an entire brick-and mortar-industry is actually dying on the vine."
But if the Star Tribune reporter had looked closer (in fact, just a few blocks away), he would have found another story – one of success – thanks to an emerging market that a saavy few have been able to tap into by adapting to the winds of change.
Bruce and Linda Tomlinson of Alexandria, Minn., are respected, longtime dealers in country antiques and folk art. Now, in addition to selling to collectors and dealers, they provide "inspiration" to clothing designers.
The couple have always included vintage clothing and fabrics in their displays at Midtown Antique Mall in Stillwater, and at shows including Brimfield and the Bedford (N.H.) Pickers market. But it was their growing following at the Vintage Fashion and Textile Show, held three times a year in Sturbridge, Mass., that led them to a whole new clientele in the fashion industry.
They now focus on vintage clothing – mostly for men – from the 1800s to 1960s, which are in turn transformed into new clothing designs.
"You bring the same eye to vintage clothing as you do to antiques," said Linda in an interview with Antique Trader. "You look for a certain artistry, quality, color and texture."
A design firm will call the Tomlinsons with a concept, seeking inspiration for their seasonal lines, and the couple will ship off boxes of clothing that are either bought outright or used on approval.
"Let's say they want a holiday look that might include sleek, silk designs from the 1930s and '40s," said Linda. "Or they might want a tweed look for fall. They use a lot of movie references, anything from Audrey Hepburn to Apocalypse Now. Or they may say they need something younger and edgier, or with a runway influence."
Right now, popular sources of inspiration include clothing and uniforms with vintage lettering and a sportier look, Linda said. Some designers may simply be seeking a certain pocket or collar treatment, or designs in beads and lace. Children's clothing designs can be expanded for adults. The Tomlinsons' merchandise is about 65 percent men's, 30 percent women's and about 5 percent children's.
But as with any segment of the antiques market, it's all about restocking. The Tomlinsons have a storage unit bulging with clothing with designs that may emerge at next year's New York shows.
"At the Sturbridge show, we just started clicking with customers," said Linda, "and we've kept on clicking, thankfully."
The Tomlinsons may be reached at 320-762-1341.

'Lean' paint, on the other hand, is oil paint mixed with turpentine or some other fast-drying medium. 'Lean' oil paint dries faster than 'fat' oil paint.
The key thing to remember, in order to avoid cracking, is that every layer in an oil painting must be 'fatter' than the one beneath it. That is because if 'lean' oil paint is painted over 'fat' oil paint, the 'lean' layer could be subject to cracking as the 'fat' layer dries and contracts underneath it. Also, lower layers tend to absorb oil from the layers above them, especially when 'fat over lean' is not followed.

Wagner's music, it was said, wasn't as bad as it sounded, and the Liberal fiscal plan isn't nearly as reckless as it looks. Unveiled over the weekend, the "costed" plan was widely reported as committing the party to spend $145-billion over four years - on top of the $1.15-trillion the spring budget had already pledged the federal government to spend over the same period.
All is not as it looks in Liberal plan
Wagner's music, it was said, wasn't as bad as it sounded, and the Liberal fiscal plan isn't nearly as reckless as it looks. Unveiled over the weekend, the "costed" plan was widely reported as committing the party to spend $145-billion over four years – on top of the $1.15-trillion the spring budget had already pledged the federal government to spend over the same period.
But all is not as it looks in the Liberal plan – in fact, almost nothing is. By far the biggest single item in that eye-popping $145-billion, worth nearly $90-billion in all – roughly $22-billion a year – is the party's proposed new Canada Child Benefit, which would pay a maximum of $6,400 annually to families with children under six.
But the CCB is not a wholly new program, to be loaded on top of everything else. It is intended as a replacement for a raft of existing programs: the Universal Child Care Benefit, the Canada Child Tax Benefit and the National Child Benefit Supplement. Combined, these cost the federal treasury about $18-billion, making the net cost of the Liberal child care plan about $4-billion annually.
That hardly exhausts the list of ways the document misleads. What is a revenue and what an expenditure seems to be of little consequence to its authors: spending cuts are sometimes called tax increases, tax cuts are sometimes labelled spending increases, and so on. Actually, nothing is called a spending increase: indeed, the word "spending" does not appear in the plan, except with reference to "Harper" spending.
Rather, it is referred to throughout as "investments." This familiar political euphemism is here stretched to cover a passel of increased payouts to favoured interest groups: seniors' benefits, EI benefits, veterans' benefits, the CBC, and so on. Still, one thing does emerge quite clearly from the exercise. Whatever else the Liberal plan is about, it is not about infrastructure.
That may not be what you have heard. You will no doubt have been told that the Liberals, unlike the other parties, would go into deficit, but that it was all right, because they would only be borrowing to invest – and not just in the meaningless political sense of the term, but really and truly: in things like roads and bridges and public transit.
This, the Liberals have asserted repeatedly, would not only be good for the economy from a short-term, stimulative perspective (to "kick start" it, as Justin Trudeau keeps saying), but as importantly, in terms of increasing the economy's long-run productive capacity. This wasn't the kind of old-fashioned deficit spending that went out in the 1970s. It was new, it was different – a bold departure from stale orthodoxies. So it is somewhat disarming to find the party's own costing document confessing that this is not actually true.
Altogether, I calculate annual spending under the Liberals would be about $15-billion higher, on average, than under the budget plan. Of that total, little more than a quarter – about $4.2-billion a year – would be for infrastructure. And of that, two thirds is infrastructure only in the sense that easier EI payments are an investment: the party calls these "social infrastructure" (e.g., daycare centres) and "green infrastructure" (e.g., water filtration plants).
Whatever other benefits these may bring, they will do nothing to raise national output. We are not going to get rich looking after each other's children. Even the productivity gains from genuine infrastructure relies much more on assertion than evidence. The Liberals appear to subscribe to a sort of quantitative theory of infrastructure, wherein spending x amount on roads and bridges automatically yields y in higher output. But as they would seem to have picked out a number for total spending in advance of identifying just where it would be spent, this may be doubted.
But never mind: even if you accept the whole $4.2-billion as genuine, productivity-enhancing infrastructure, and even if all of it is spent to good use, and not to paving every Liberal riding twice over – it's still barely a quarter of the total. Indeed, it's less than half the $10-billion annually the party has said it would borrow in the first two years of its plan. The rest, nearly $6-billion annually, would go to finance, not capital investment, but current consumption.
Of course, as I've said before, the amounts involved are relatively trivial: a $10-billion deficit, just one half of one per cent of GDP, is not going to ruin us. But if $10-billion is trivial, $4.2-billion split three ways is risible. The notion that this is going to have any discernible impact on the economy is so fantastic it could only have been cooked up in a political strategists' meeting. Like the one the Liberals held the day after the NDP said they would balance the budget.
In other words, it's all for show. The reason they're running a deficit is not for any practical good it would do the economy: if the Liberals believed that it would be much larger, and all for infrastructure. Rather, they're running a deficit a) to differentiate themselves from the other parties, and b) so they can promise more in spending than they are obliged to raise in taxes. As political strategies go, you will agree, this may be many things, but new is not one of them.
How different is it? Roughly speaking, the NDP would raise spending and taxes by about $10 billion annually each. The Liberals would raise spending by $15-billion, and taxes by $5-billion. A few billion dollars either way, on a $2-trillion economy: that's the bold departure. By the party's own reckoning!

What is the Ebola virus, how bad is the outbreak in the DR of Congo and what are the symptoms?
In December 2013, a two-year-old died after contracting Ebola in a rural village in Guinea and from there the virus spread through Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia
THE Ebola virus claimed more than 11,000 lives when it swept through Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia in an outbreak beginning in December 2013.
Now the disease has reared its ugly head once again in the Democratic Republic of Congo, sparking fears of a pandemic. Here's what we know.
Where is the latest outbreak of Ebola?
The Democratic Republic of the Congo confirmed two cases of Ebola and ten suspected cases in May 2018.
It is the ninth time Ebola has been recorded in the African country.
Later it was confirmed the killer disease had spread to the city of Mbandaka, which has a population of 1.2million.
The city is 80 miles from where the first case was found.
Then three more cases were reported there, sparking fears of a major urban outbreak.
Person-to-person infection is much more difficult to control in a heavily populated city than in remote rural communities.
The virus is believed to have killed 26 people in DR Congo since early April.
There are fears it could spread to the capital Kinshasa and nine neighbouring countries have been put on alert.
Health chiefs have begun administering an experimental vaccine in an attempt to halt its spread.
The 2013 outbreak was catastrophic, leaving whole communities in ruins, thousands of children orphans and millions facing starvation.
Almost 30,000 people across the three nations were infected with the disease, which is spread via contact with an infected person's bodily fluids.
From its epicentre in West Africa the epidemic reached Nigeria, Spain, the US and UK, only slowing in June 2016 when the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak in Liberia over.
What is Ebola?
The Ebola virus, also known as Ebola virus disease - previously called Ebola haemorrhagic fever - is a disease that occurs in humans and primates.
The virus is part of the Filoviridae family, which also includes Marburg virus.
To date, scientists have identified five strains of Ebola - four of which are known to cause disease in humans.
The natural reservoir - or host of the virus - is thought to be the fruit bat.
Non-human primates are a secondary host, and like humans develop fatal symptoms, so are unlikely to be the reservoir.
In spite of the epidemic that swept West Africa from 2013 to 2015, scientists class Ebola as a virus that has a relatively low infection rate.
During that, the most recent and most widespread outbreak, one Ebola patient would typically pass the disease on to another two people.
That is compared with a disease like measles where one case can often lead to 18 new infections.
Was there an outbreak in 2017?
The killer virus was announced as having returned in Democratic Republic of Congo in April 2017.
So far, one man has died from the disease, while two other people who came into contact with him have also died - though tests have yet to confirm their cause of death.
Health officials are investigating 17 suspected cases of the virus following an outbreak and are trying to trace 125 people thought to be linked to the cases identified in the remote north eastern province of Bas-Uele - which is near the border with Central African Republic.
Three people have so far died among the 19 suspected and confirmed cases, WHO's Congo spokesman Eugene Kabambi said.
On April 22, the first confirmed case named the victim as a 45-year-old man.
The outbreak comes just a year after the end of an epidemic in West Africa killed more than 11,300 people mostly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
This case marks the eighth outbreak in the country, since the virus was first discovered in 1976 in the nation, then called Zaire.
The virus was detected in regions close to the River Ebola, which gave the disease its name.
The outbreak could test a new experimental Ebola vaccine, that health experts hope could prevent a pandemic, like that seen sweeping West Africa from December 2013 to 2015.
Where did Ebola come from?
The Ebola virus was first identified by a team of scientists in what was then called Zaire, now known as Democratic Republic of the Congo, in 1976.
Until the last outbreak, the largest, most widespread and most deadly ever, records show regular bursts of Ebola virus did occur.
However, they tended to be confined to villages close to rainforests in Central and West Africa.
Infection has been recorded in humans through contact with infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines.
What are the symptoms and mortality rate?
Prior to the 2014 outbreak in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, the mortality rate of the Ebola virus had been between 25 and 89 per cent - with an average of 67 per cent.
During the West African outbreak mortality varied between 25 to 90 per cent.
The virus has an incubation period of two to 21 days, meaning symptoms can take up to three weeks to appear from the time of infection.
Early symptoms of Ebola include:
- fever
- headache
- muscle pain
- sore throat
- weakness
They are similar to those of other diseases, making diagnosis tricky in some cases.
Later as the disease progresses, it can cause:
- diarrhoea
- vomiting
- rash
- impaired kidney and liver function
- stomach pain
- internal and external bleeding
How is the Ebola virus transmitted?
Ebola is not an airborne disease, and as such it is impossible for a person to become infected by inhaling the same air as a patient.
However, the West African outbreak revealed how infectious the virus can be.
It is spread via a person's bodily fluids.
Coming into a contact with an Ebola patient's blood secretions, organs, sweat, urine, tears, semen and other fluids, can cause the infection to spread.
Those at highest risk are typically healthcare workers, family members of those infected and other people who come into close contact with an infected person.
Sexual transmission can occur, from men to women or men, after a person's symptoms have disappeared and they are declared free from the disease.
As such, world health experts advise abstaining from unprotected sex for up to nine months after being given the all clear - as scientific studies have found traces of Ebola in men's semen after this length of time.
How is Ebola treated?
There is no single treatment for the Ebola virus. Rather, patients's symptoms are addressed.
Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care, with intravenous fluids to re-hydrate them.
But it emerged in December 2016 that a new and effective vaccine had been developed by a team in Guinea,
It has not yet been approved by any regulatory bodies but the experimental vaccine has been shown to provide 100 per cent protection against the disease as it was used in the dying days of the last outbreak.
Already a stockpile of 300,000 doses of the medication has been built up should an outbreak flare up again.
Marie-Paule Kieny, the World Health Organization's assistant director-general for health systems and innovation and the study's lead author said: ""While these compelling results come too late for those who lost their lives during West Africa's Ebola epidemic, they show that when the next outbreak hits, we will not be defenceless.
"The world can't afford the confusion and human disaster that came with the last epidemic."
Currently the risks are too high to start giving the vaccine to healthy kids and adults not in immediate danger of infection, according to experts.
How did the last West African outbreak escalate into an epidemic?
December 6, 2013
The Ebola crisis that ravaged West Africa is thought to have been triggered by the death of a toddler in a remote village in Guinea.
The two-year-old, patient zero, died on December 6, 2013 having suffered a fever, black stools and vomiting.
March 25
The authorities in Guinea report the outbreak to the World Health Organisation, after diagnosing the virus as Ebola.
By this stage, the virus was confined to Guinea.
May 2014
All the indications were that spread of the virus was beginning to slow, as the death toll began to tail off.
May 2014
A highly respected and well-known traditional healer from Guinea died from Ebola.
Such was the woman's notoriety as the leader of a secret society, that hundreds of people travelled to Guinea to pay their respects at her funeral.
Mourners travelled from parts of Guinea, as well as from neighbouring Sierra Leone and Liberia.
In parts of Africa it is tradition for those paying their respects at a funeral to touch the body of the deceased, or wash their hands in the same bowl of water.
Dozens of mourners were infected, carrying the disease back with them to their native countries.
And thus the disease began to spread.
July 2014
The virus crossed to Nigeria, carried by a Liberian man Patrick Sawyer who died in Lagos on his way back to the US.
He is thought to have become infected with the virus at his sister's funeral, after she died of Ebola.
August 8, 2014
The World Health Organisation declared the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, a public health emergency of international concern.

So, when it comes to running my immense urge to be around other people isn't much different. I like running with someone...anyone. And, I often find myself sandbagging my run if I don't have anyone to run with. As I've gotten faster in this running game, I've found fewer and fewer people to run with. It's like I'm in this awkward, in between stage of running....my clothes don't fit right, I'm not sure if boys still gross me out, and if anyone finds out I'm still playing with my Barbies I might just die.
Wait...not those tween years. No...it's more like that in between stage where I have a few running friends who (currently) run a tad slower than me, and I've got a few running friends who (currently) run a tad (or a lot) faster than me. And I don't know anyone who is (currently) running at my suggested paces.
And if I continue to sand bag runs, all my currently-slower-than-me-friends will be faster-than-me-friends.
So, this week I made it a point to do some solo runs. And not the easy paced runs...the hard, grueling, why-am-I-out-here-and-when-can-I-stop sort of runs. Mainly my speedwork (4 x 1200s) and my tempo run. I need to feel okay running alone and (gasp) I need to actually try and enjoy them enough that I can regularly become a solo runner.
I chose a busy track for my speedwork. It was early morning and all the mall walkers were out in full bloom. There were no runners, so that actually made it easier. I didn't feel like I was competing with anyone but me. My goal was to run them in 5:35 (or around a 7:25 pace). I ended up finishing them...all 4 of them...all by myself in 5:35, 5:24, 5:29, 5:30. After each interval I would huff and puff and say I'm going to
Yesterday I decided I'd do a 5k tempo run at a 7:55 pace...all...by...my...self. As I warmed up I thought about how I tend to sand bag myself at the beginning of a race by doing the exact opposite of most everyone else - I start off too slow. I tend to start around an 8:15 out of fear that I'll go out too fast and bonk in the end. I needed to prove to myself that I can start off fast and hold on. I decided that I'd start this run at 7:55 and just hang on for dear life. (Also, the benefits of running solo...I'm sure if I had of been running with RC and brought up this hair-brained idea, he would have asked me if I had been taking too much pain medicine and told me to just follow the program...)
Well, I ended up starting off at 7:42 for mile 1 (maybe I am on something?) and then 7:46 for mile 2 (maybe I'm just an idiot?). And then I realized that my heart rate was red lining it (199) and there would be no way that I'd be able to continue for another mile....if I wanted to live to see Saturday that is.
So, I stopped. Rested for a bit and finished up the last mile at my marathon pace (8:45) thus proving to myself that 7:42 is still too fast for me to start. But, I also proved that I could run by myself and continue to run even when my body just wants to lie on the ground and die. I also
I might frequent this running alone thing again soon. I actually enjoyed them, despite the fact that on both occasions I thought I might die. I got to actually think through my runs...the strategy, the pace, the pain and suffering. All of it.
I may become an introvert, home-body after all....or maybe I'll just take this solo thing one step at a time...
Have a great weekend!

Restaurants asked to keep dog meat off menu during OlympicsJuly 15th, 2008 - 2:08 pm ICT by IANS
By Pranay Sharma
Beijing, July 15 (IANS) Exotic items like dog meat may be missing from the food menu in China during the Olympics scheduled to begin Aug 8. Authorities here have asked the 112 designated Beijing restaurants for the Games to keep it off their menu and imposed a ban on its sale keeping the sensitivity of foreign visitors in mind.
According to the China Daily, even non-designated restaurants, especially those that serve Korean, Yunnan, and Guizhou cuisine, have been encouraged not to serve dog meat by the city's food safety administration.
In a notice issued some days back, the authorities have said all meat transported to Beijing during the Olympics will be checked to prevent violation.
"Dog meat sales are being suspended as a mark of respect for foreigners and people from ethnic groups," the Beijing Daily said Friday quoting an anonymous official with the administration.
But many Beijing residents expressed surprise over the issue as they pointed out that it was never a popular item in Chinese cuisine.
"It is not like pork or beef which are very popular among most Chinese," Li Bin Xin, division chief of All China Journalist Association and a resident of Beijing told the visiting IANS correspondent.
He added, "Maybe it is popular among Koreans or some people from China's northeast. But it is not considered as a delicacy or a popular item in our food."
Similar views were expressed by some of the restaurant owners in Beijing. The China Daily quoted Zhao Haiyou, a manager of the Olympic designated St. Regis Beijing hotel, as saying that he has received the notice issued by the local authorities last week.
"We will make sure no dog meat is served during the Games," Zhao told the paper while adding that it has never been on the menu.
The China Daily said traditional Chinese medicine regards dog meat as highly nutritious, but the consumption of canines has always been a controversial topic. During the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the South Korean government had asked its citizens not to eat dog meat during the Games to avoid bad publicity.
The controversy re-surfaced during the 2002 World Cup when organizers under pressure from animal rights groups had demanded that the South Korean government deal with the issue.
Wang Tao, manager of a Korean barbeque chain restaurant in Beijing, told the Daily he would adhere to the ruling.
Animal rights groups hailed the Chinese government's decision. He Yong, from the International Fund for Animal Welfare, said removing dog meat from the menu was a good thing. "The Olympics offer an opportunity to improve Chinese food culture," he was quoted by the China Daily as saying.

January 13, 2017
Today will definitely go in the books as one of my favorite days in my life. We left for Jaco Beach around 12 p.m. and stopped at a river for about 20 minutes on the way there. The river had groups of crocodiles on the side of it, which was so cool to see up close. I basically felt like Steve Irwin and wanted to go open their jaws for a photo (that clearly didn't happen, check my pics).
Arriving at Jaco Beach was breathtaking. The view is something pictures and words will never be able to do justice. I sat there in disbelief at how lucky I am to be studying abroad in such a beautiful, beautiful place.
I rented a surfboard for $10 and hit the waves with some of my new friends that I made on the bus ride there (an hour and a half ride). I have never surfed in my life, and I knew I was going to make an absolute fool of myself but I 100 percent did not care. My first time out I kind of got up for about half a second.
Around sunset, I convinced my friend Braden to go out a second time (shark fearing Moe does not swim in open waters alone). Anyway, surfing as the sun goes down is quite possibly one of the most beautiful things on Earth. There's something special about the silhouette of the tip of a surfboard against the orange, purple, and yellow painted sky. On this second attempt in the waves, I got up about four times… practice makes perfect, right?! I mean I'm basically Bethany Hamilton now, no big deal.
We left the beach around 6 p.m. after a perfect day in the sun. I met people from basically all over the U.S. who are all awesome. It took us about two hours to get back to San Jose, but I suppose now would be the time to share my side story about the drivers in Costa Rica.
They're absolutely nuts. Chicago drivers have NOTHING on Tico drivers. Luis, our bus driver, went down an exit in REVERSE to get out of sitting in traffic today. You'd think it's just him being crazy, but no, two other semis did it right before him. I could go on and on telling stories about the ways of Tico drivers, but I think that will suffice for now.
When I got home from the beach, I had dinner and coffee with Lucy and Amanda after a hot shower. Tomorrow I will be heading to Monteverde to zipline and stay the night in the cloud forest. I think it's supposed to be an exceptionally long zipline through tons of trees, so it will probably be another amazing view.
Buenas noches.

Thru many veils we journey,Thru many fires we burn,Thru many fears we drown,Still our soul continues to yearn.We yearn for sacred union,We cry out for the One,We ask to be rememberedAs we reach toward the sun.When the radiant Sun lights our wayWe realize we have never been apart...For the Heaven we search for outside our selfHas always lived within the heart of our heart.(poem c2002 Mara)
This painting was created in and inspired by the magic island of Kauai. With it's swirling, mosaic patterns and rich colors, I wanted to express the lush power of this sacred place. The image contains all four elements - water, fire, air and earth. The dreamer holds a flower trinity of passion as she visions within the holy mountain of intuition.

Yes siree, what a difference a day makes. Two spots on my hands yesterday….a million today. It's spreading and fast! I think I'm doomed for a weeks worth of this horrible plague. Man, I ended the season literally, with a bad bad case of poison ivy/oak and I'm starting spring the same. You'd think I would learn, but remember my problem with memory. Well, I think I'm due for a new brain at this point….any offers? In fact I was standing at the kitchen window last night looking out at the field and had that bright light go off in my head, I mean on. I was trying hard to remember why I was even out cutting the field in September, and then it hit me…..like a ton of bricks. That trespassing neighbor on his ATV! Then I remember if it weren't for him I wouldn't have started cutting the field down, burned up my mower engine, I wouldn't have gotten poison ivy/oak everywhere imaginable, and I wouldn't have thrown my back out……I started taking deep breaths. Oh well, maybe when we fence it for the goats he'll finally realize we own it and if that doesn't work then I might just have to take him my property tax bill which is going up over $6,000.00. Yes, you read that right. Boy, there must be gold in them thar hills! Hey, I know I can get him to clear the poison for me and he can ride all he wants. Naaaaaaa!

You won't find these beauty contestants in swimsuits or evening wear, but the 2013 Skillington Draft Mule Show is the true pageant of the Mule Day festival.
You won�t find these beauty contestants in swimsuits or evening wear, but the 2013 Skillington Draft Mule Show is the true pageant of the Mule Day festival.
This year, there are 24 categories in which some 80-100 mules from across the country will compete to be Mule King.
New to the show in 2013 is the name of Skillington, which has been added in acknowledgment of the tireless efforts of patriarch Charlie Skillington, a driving force in recreating Mule Day after World War II, and brothers John Robert and Joe Frank Skillington, who served as superintendents of the Draft Mule Show for nearly 40 years each.
Draft Show Chairman Ricky Skillington said the draft show is the foundation on which all other Mule Day activities are built � a tradition that dates all the way back to the 19th century �Breeder�s Day.�
�A lot of the good mules were raised in Missouri, southern Illinois, southern Indiana and Kentucky. They were brought as short yearlings into Middle Tennessee and particularly Columbia, because of the reputation of having a good market there,� Ricky Skillington said. �These were work mules, these were draft mules. They were built thick and sturdy (and) they could do the hard work. � The shows were to advertise the mules and to give everybody a little bragging rights.�
Ricky Skillington said the show has evolved since the mid-20th century to include more than just a mule�s functionality as a work-animal. The attractiveness of the mule�s stature, coat and head, are all now taken into consideration during the draft mule show�s judging.
The 2012 Mule King was a rarity in a sense, said co-organizer Glenda Bowman, as Jake of Cave City, Ky., is a horse mule � the male counterpart. Typically, Mule Kings are actually queens, Bowman said, because the crown is usually given to mares, or female mules.
�I don�t know why they call it �King Mule� when it�s typically a female,� Bowman said. �But Mule Day just has a very, very good reputation of having a good, honest mule show, and it�s not like some of your events where the man with the most money wins. It�s just a good, honest show. You�re going to have a lot of fun.�
Tim Marlin of Franklin, the reigning champ of the jack and jennet categories from the 2012 Draft Mule Show, said he aims to return to reclaim his title in the 2013 competition. Mule shows have become an enjoyable hobby for Marlin and his wife, and the short drive from Franklin makes Mule Day a prime location.
�I like to show down there. You get to meet a lot of people from out of state and all over the world,� said Marlin, who�s prepping to bring five or six mules down for the draft show. �You�ve got to have a good body to them, and I always like to start with a good head and ears.�
Throughout the Mule Day festival there will be competition aplenty, beginning Wednesday with Log Loading and wrapping up Sunday with the Riding Mule Show. Ricky Skillington said there�s something for everybody this year, especially for families.
�Plan to come several days. We�ve got a varied groups of things � Mini Mania one day, a log loading contest, we have mule pulls where it�s brute strength pulling a sled with blocks,� he said. �There�s just something for everybody. It�s just good family fun, a good time for family to bond.�
The Skillington Draft Mule Show is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday, April 6 in the Old Arena. It costs $5 to enter and payback is $20-$40. More information may be obtained by calling Skillington at (931) 637-2217 or Bowman at (931) 388-7969.

Petro-Canada: Terra Nova Production Shut Down Due to Mechanical Issues
ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR--(CCNMatthews - May 9, 2006) - Petro-Canada today announced production at the Terra Nova offshore oil field was shut down May 7 due to a mechanical failure of the gear box attached to the starboard main power generator. With both main power generators now out of service for gear box repairs, it is highly unlikely Terra Nova production will resume until the fall, reflecting the addition of four to five weeks of shut down to the already scheduled turnaround commencing in mid-June and ending in September.
Petro-Canada now forecasts second quarter Terra Nova production will be closer to 21,000 b/d (7,100 b/d net to Petro-Canada). This compares to a March 10 estimate of 83,000 b/d (28,000 b/d net to Petro-Canada), which reflected reduced production due to the port side gear box being out of service for repairs since February 2006.
The timing and scope of repairs to the gear box attached to the starboard main power generator are currently being assessed. Repairs to the gear box attached to the port side main power generator are already underway for completion in June 2006. The early shutdown will permit Petro-Canada to advance preparations for the extended scheduled turnaround.
The Terra Nova vessel continues to operate with power from two standby generators, which while they do not support production, continue to ensure the vessel is safe. The main power generators are needed to operate production systems.
Petro-Canada is one of Canada's largest oil and gas companies, operating in both the upstream and the downstream sectors of the industry in Canada and internationally. We create value by responsibly developing energy resources and providing world class petroleum products and services. Our common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol PCA and on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PCZ.
