Glenda Wilson was a healthy 61-year-old woman who did all the right things — didn't smoke, didn't drink alcohol, and stayed busy running a thriving antique business.
While vacationing with her husband in Florida, Glenda was getting ready to go out to the pool and noticed that her neck felt swollen. She turned to her husband to see if he noticed anything odd. He immediately noticed the swelling, and that's when her life changed forever.
That day marked the beginning of a three-year ordeal that involved being diagnosed with myeloma and nephritis, and getting a bone marrow transplant. During that time, she also developed a mass in the back of her throat.
Her doctors weren't sure if the lump was related to her previous conditions. Imaging studies showed what was potentially a cancerous tumor. However, the tumor was not cancerous, but because of its location at the base of her tongue, it had to be removed.
Over a span of three years, Glenda underwent three unsuccessful surgeries to remove the tumor. Using traditional surgical techniques, the surgeons were unable to reach the mass because it was so far down her throat. Their instruments simply couldn't reach it.
Finally, her doctor referred Glenda to UPMC's Center for Robotic Head and Neck Surgery where she met with Dr. Umamaheswar Duvvuri.
Dr. Duvvuri is a specialist in using Trans Oral Robotic Surgery (TORS). This sophisticated robotic platform allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery for complex procedures similar to the one needed for Glenda's tumor.
During TORS, the surgeon moves the arms of the robot while viewing a magnified, high-resolution, 3D image of the surgical site.
Compared to traditional neck surgery, TORS makes a smaller incision, resulting in:
Where prior surgeries caused bruising on her face and cuts on her tongue, the TORS surgery left no bleeding or scarring. The precision of the TORS surgery allowed Dr. Duvvuri to remove the entire tumor.
Glenda was able to go home the day after surgery.
"The only reason they had me stay overnight was because I had to drive two hours to get home," said Glenda, who lives in Farmington, PA.
She had some soreness after the surgery, but her recovery went well.
After a six-month follow-up visit to Dr. Duvvuri, he said she didn't need to make another appointment because she was in the clear. That came as a great relief to Glenda.
She continues to work at her antiques business, though she puts in fewer hours due to some fatigue from the bone marrow transplant.
Through it all, she maintains a positive attitude, and is grateful to the doctors who were able to remove her tumor with such minimal side effects.
"I'm so glad that everything worked out so well," said Glenda. "I'm back to working at my business, and don't have any signs or symptoms of the tumor. It's wonderful."

IRS issues new draft of accounting method change Form 3115
Thomson Reuters Tax & Accounting News/
IRS issues new draft of accounting method change Form 3115
Click here for draft Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method (Rev. December 2015).
IRS has issued a draft of a revised Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method, which contains a few changes from the current version. It is anticipated that the bulk of the changes with respect to the form will be contained in the instructions to the form, a draft of which has not yet been issued.
Background. Under Code Sec. 446(e), taxpayers must obtain IRS's consent before changing a method of accounting for federal income tax purposes. In most cases, a taxpayer that wishes to change its method of accounting must apply and secure the prior consent of IRS. For some accounting method changes, IRS provides an automatic procedure for obtaining its consent to the change. In general, a taxpayer uses Form 3115 for an accounting method change.
Rev Proc 2015-13, 2015-5 IRB, issued by IRS in January 2015 (see Weekly Alert ¶ 28 01/22/2015), updated and revised the general procedures under Code Sec. 446(e) and Reg. § 1.446-1(e) that taxpayers should use to obtain IRS's consent to change an accounting method for federal income tax purposes. Specifically, Rev Proc 2015-13 provides the general procedures to obtain an advance (non-automatic) IRS consent and the procedures to obtain an automatic IRS consent to change an accounting method described in Rev Proc 2015-14, 2015-5 IRB (or a successor to it). Rev Proc 2015-13 modified and consolidated procedures previously contained in Rev Proc 2011-14, 2011-4 IRB 330 (for automatic accounting method changes) and Rev Proc 97-27, 1997-1 CB 680 (for non-automatic accounting method changes). Rev Proc 2015-13 is generally effective for Forms 3115 filed on or after Jan. 16, 2015, for a year of change ending on or after May 31, 2014.
Thereafter, IRS recognized that some taxpayers may have already prepared a Form 3115 for their 2014 tax year with the expectation of using the procedures in Rev Proc 2011-14. It then revised Rev Proc 2015-13 to provide that those taxpayers may elect to file Forms 3115 under the procedures in Rev Proc 2011-14, rather than under the procedures in Rev Proc 2015-13. See Weekly Alert ¶ 38 02/05/2015 .
And, in Rev Proc 2015-33, 2015-24 IRB (see Weekly Alert ¶ 5 06/04/2015), IRS made revisions to both the effective date and the method change rules of Rev Proc 2015-13. Under the effective date change, a taxpayer may request an automatic change under the procedures of Rev Proc 2011-14 or Rev Proc 2015-13 for a tax year ending on or after May 31, 2014 and beginning before Jan. 1, 2015.
Included among the method change rules in Rev Proc 2015-13 and Rev Proc 2015-33 are:
- …Code Sec. 381(a) governs the treatment of a transferor corporation's accounting methods by a transferee in certain transactions. Rev Proc 2015-33, Sec. 4 provides that a taxpayer that engages in a Code Sec. 381(a) transaction within the year of change may not use the automatic change procedures with respect to principal method changes prescribed by Reg. § 1.381(c)(4)-1(d)(1) or Reg. § 1.381(c)(5)-1(d)(1) .
- …Before the existence of Rev Proc 2015-13, taxpayers could make an election to take the entire Code Sec. 481(a) adjustment (in general, an adjustment made in any year in which the taxpayer computes taxable income under a different accounting method from that used in the preceding year to prevent items from being duplicated or omitted) that resulted from a method change into income if it was positive amount less than $25,000. Rev Proc 2015-13, Sec. 7.03(3)(c) modified this "de minimis election" to make it available for a positive Code Sec. 481(a) adjustment that is less than $50,000. Rev Proc 2015-13, Sec. 7.03(3)(d) provided an optional election for a one-year adjustment period for a positive Code Sec. 481(a) adjustment for taxpayers with an "eligible acquisition transaction."
- …With several exceptions, when a taxpayer timely files a Form 3115, IRS will not require the taxpayer to change its method of accounting for the same item for a tax year prior to the requested year of change. This rule is sometimes referred to as the "audit protection" rule. Rev Proc 2015-13 made changes to those exceptions and also withdrew the previous audit protection rule requirement that the taxpayer acquire a statement from an IRS director consenting to the filing of the Form 3115 prior to filing the Form 3115.
Draft Form 3115's changes. Draft Form 3115 contains changes that reflect those contained in Rev Proc 2015-13 and Rev Proc 2015-33, as well as a few other changes, which include:
- 1. Removing some general questions about Code Sec. 381, and replacing them with questions that are specific to Reg. § 1.381(c)(4)-1(d)(1) and Reg. § 1.381(c)(5)-1(d)(1) (Question 5);
- 2. Restating the questions with respect to the audit protection rules to reflect the changes made by Rev Proc 2015-13 and asking taxpayers who have audit protection to list the rule under which they qualify for that protection (Question 7);
- 3. Changing the application of the question that requires the taxpayer to attach an explanation of his legal basis supporting the proposed method, from being required only of taxpayers making a non-automatic change request, to being required of all Form 3115 filers (Question 16);
- 4. Restating the "recognize a Code Sec. 481(a) adjustment in the year of change" rule to reflect the abovementioned change in Rev Proc 2015-13(Question 27); and
- 5. Throughout the form, changing its terminology when referring to non-automatic change requests, from "advance consent requests" to "non-automatic change requests."

Genius lost: Steve Jobs was flawed, but brilliant; a true bellwether of progress
There is no one definition for Apple co-founder Steve Jobs -- although there are many who say that "innovation" was his watchword.
He was quirky, maddeningly focused and sometimes, some say, prickly. His life was secretive, complex and full of choices that contrast the brilliant man he was.
But in the end, the man who helped bring Americans the personal computer, and generations of applications of that technology, changed the world -- all because he followed his own star.
And that is why Steve Jobs is an icon for what it takes to have a dream and to follow it to its fruition.
He met many ideas he did not like -- and took on some of them as his own projects, his critics and supporters say. And that is what made Jobs so controversial and so fascinating -- he just could not resist innovating, inventing and creating.
He embodied the American spirit of industry and entrepreneurship.
But Jobs' greatest lesson came at the end of his life, when the threat of cancer left him wondering what was next -- not the first time a setback or challenge made him look differently at his life.
He understood, finally, that there was no escape from death and that to let its threat loom and limit your life is to give up the chance to be fulfilled and happy.
And facing his own mortality also helped him make priorities -- in life, in business and in how he viewed the world.
He did not believe in wasting time -- and he didn't, right up until the end of his life.
Steve Jobs will be remembered for the inventions he helped create that changed the world. He will be admired for his business sense and determination -- and he will be studied and critiqued for how he lived his life and conducted his career.
That is what happens when you become a legend.
But in the study of his genius and its flaws, there is also the chance to learn the lessons taught by a man who knew he did not have much time left.
He cautioned a group of graduates in 2005 to pursue their own lives and to not let fear make choices for them -- and that is the best advice he could have given them.
It is just a portion of a legacy that will take years to fully appreciate and understand.

Bob Barker Tapes Last Show
By: Heartland News
Blowing kisses to the camera, Bob Barker signed off on 35 years on "The Price Is Right" and 50 years in daytime TV in the same low-key, genial fashion that made him one of daytime TV's biggest stars.
Barker, who had said before the taping on Wednesday of his final appearance that he would try to act as if it was "just another show," stuck to that promise. He ended the program as he always has, signing off with the words: "Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered. Goodbye everybody."
After the cameras stopped rolling, he told the studio audience, "I thank you, thank you, thank you for inviting me into your home for more than 50 years. I'm truly grateful and I hope that all of you have enjoyed your visit to `The Price Is Right."'
The hour-long taping began with the show's 83-year-old host entering the studio to a standing ovation from an adoring public and a giant shower of colorful confetti from his colleagues. The program is scheduled to air on June 15.
"This is over-the-top amazing. It's like a piece of Americana," said Terry Baldwin, 55, of Pebble Beach, Calif., who
had camped out overnight to ensure she got a seat in the audience.
Barker went on to conduct the show like every other, presiding over his final Showcase Showdown and, during breaks for commercials, answering questions from the audience.
"Someone asked, will I spend my mornings watching 'The Price is Right'? In as few words as possible, no," he quipped. Then he acknowledged curiosity might get the better of him.
Barker said before the show he is looking forward to retirement, but added, "I know that I will miss the show terribly and miss the people on the show terribly. I know that I will have periods after I'm once retired when I'll think, `Boy I wish I was going over there to do `The Price Is Right."'
Barker began his national television career in 1956 as the host of "Truth or Consequences." He first appeared on CBS' "The Price Is Right" on Sept. 4, 1972, and has been the face of the show ever since.
For 35 years, he has played the same games with contestants and filmed from the same spot -- Studio 33, aka the Bob Barker Studio -- at CBS Television City.
"The only thing that's changed on `The Price Is Right' is the color of my hair," Barker said during a CBS prime-time tribute show that aired last month.
Barker has influenced the show's prizes over the years, said longtime producer Roger Dobkowitz.
"Because he's a vegetarian, we respect his wishes and we don't advertise meat products on the show," he said. At Barker's request, they also stopped giving away fur coats.
The silver-haired host's long reign has also inspired fan traditions. Most female contestants -- and even some men -- kiss him on the cheek. Members of the military wear their uniforms. College students wear their university sweat shirts and groups of fans come in matching custom-made T-shirts.
As the legendary host counted down his last days on the air, fans from around the country made pilgrimages to Los Angeles to see him. Dozens camped out overnight near CBS studios for a chance to say goodbye during Barker's final week of shows.
"He's part of American culture," said Mark Dub, a NASA engineer who flew from Houston to attend the last show.
Barker's 35-year "Price" tenure was checkered by lawsuits brought by past "Barker's Beauties," the gown-wearing hostesses who present prizes such as microwaves, pinball machines and brand-new cars. Some sued him for sexual harassment and wrongful termination over the years. Most received out-of-court financial settlements.
Barker said he has no regrets -- yet -- about retiring: "Isn't that strange? I expected to have second thoughts."
He plans to fill his free time with travel, exercise and working with his animal charity, the DJ&T Foundation, named for his late wife, Dorothy Jo, and mother, Matilda ("Everybody called her Tilly," he said).
But he will miss the show, he said: "How many 83-year-old men get up every morning knowing that they're going to have a standing ovation sometime during the day?"
Though Barker joked that "all of television is going to end" when he retires, "The Price Is Right" will continue in the fall with a new host, who has yet to be named. Among those reportedly in the running are Todd Newton of the E! network, Mark Steines of "Entertainment Tonight," George Hamilton and John O'Hurley.
"You're never going to be able to find somebody who's just like Bob Barker," said Cecile Frot-Coutaz, chief executive of FremantleMedia North America, which produces "The Price Is Right." "They're very large shoes to fill."

Responsible Care Audits
Does anyone still remember Bhopal, India? If you don't, that's too bad, because we recently marked the 30th anniversary of this disastrous Union Carbide chemical/gas leak that exposed more than 500,000 people and caused more than 3000 deaths and there are plenty of lessons which we can learn from this horrible tragedy.
In the aftermath of this cataclysmic event, there was a lot of finger pointing, hospitalizations, injuries, fear, uncertainty and doubt. But some good came out of it: the establishment of the American Chemical Council (ACC) Responsible Care initiative -- a global EHS performance improvement initiative. In the U.S., the ACC made Responsible Care an obligation for its 160 companies which include giants such as BASF, Dow and 3M.
The goal is to improve the industry's environmental, health and safety and security performance, and respond to public concerns about operations and products through mandatory third-party audits.
How is safety impacted during a responsible care audit?
Auditors make sure management systems achieve the expectations established by the organization. If deficiencies or non-conformances are identified, the company must take corrective action before it can be certified. The process is one of several "pillars" that make up the initiative. Others include mandatory metrics reporting and implementation of codes intended to drive continual improvement.
Audits are conducted by firms which are accredited by an independent national accreditation board. Auditors are required to pass a training course, have previous auditing experience and meet continuing education requirements. The member companies have to pay for audits -- similar to an ISO audit. Auditors follow a technical specification created by ACC as their audit protocol and determine whether the organization conforms to the requirements found in the system.
How long does it take to conduct these audits?
Depending on the facility's size, number of employees and other factors, the process lasts about one to three days and involves two or more auditors. Audits always include interviews with people in the field and senior staff, document reviews, and management system checks.
How are signs and labels used during an audit?
To build awareness of the audit with its personnel, companies display posters, charts and graphs in break rooms, offices, warehouses, and distribution centers. ACC also markets a flag which companies fly at facilities after they are certified.
With the introduction of a new Product Safety Code in 2013, the chemical industry is enhancing its efforts to respond to public concerns about the safety of chemical products in everyday use. Responsible Care will continue to play an expanded role in industry EHS activities as the chemical sector experiences growth spurred on by the nation's natural gas and oil boom.
The initiative has been implemented in more than 60 countries. Since 2003, more than 1000 Responsible Care audits have been conducted in the U.S. Overseas, another 200+ audits have occurred.

Often drivers are unaware of the damage they cause to their cars, don't plan their budget so running costs become a real setback, or simply neglect the things that can make their motoring life easier.
Check out our list of things new drivers definitely shouldn't do.
We've all done it. You find comfort in that the car keeps on running, seemingly without any issues. The problem can be as small as a loose oil cap, but the light can also indicate a more serious mechanical fault. It's one of these lights in your dash that don't clearly indicate the source of the problem, so get your engine checked by a mechanic.
All four tyres of your motor have to be the same type and size. However, when you get a puncture, you may find yourself in a costly situation. To avoid buying four new tyres, the least you can do is swap them in pairs.
You should avoid changing a single tyre even if it's the exact same size because the remaining tyres would be worn out and, essentially, different. Mismatching tyres can confuse your car's ABS, affecting handling and braking.
Getting used to your new car can take some time. Be aware of any cars behind you, even if the road seems empty. However, most new cars come with "blind spot assist" technology which detects cars behind you. Another solution is to install a blind spot mirror which offers a wider rear view.
Remember, even experienced drivers have to adjust when they switch vehicles.
When you stop at the top of a steep hill you can continuously rev the engine to keep the car from rolling backwards. Also, parking on an incline without using the handbrake is possible and shifting into a gear will stop the car from moving downhill.
However, on both occasions you're putting a lot of pressure on the gearbox. Remember to use your handbrake as it locks all wheels, including the non-drive ones.
The best way to get a worn out transmission and damaged gearbox is by throwing your car into reverse while still moving forward. This also applies when you drive backwards and shift into first without stopping. This puts a lot of pressure on your car's gearbox, which greatly increases the chance of developing a serious fault.
Although there are ways you can reduce the cost of ownership, running a car can be costly. You can easily get ahead of yourself by getting a car that you can afford to buy, but can't afford to maintain and run. Considering the additional costs – such as Vehicle Excise Duty, insurance, fuel and general maintenance – is essential.
Imagine, you're driving along the motorway and all of a sudden you get a puncture. You calm yourself down thinking that you have a spare tyre you can use. But as soon as you take it out, you see that it's also flat.
Spares need to be checked regularly as they do lose pressure over time. Plus the overall condition can worsen and old tyres can even crack.
Regular checks and care can extend a car's engine life, reduce the risk of breaking down and save you a lot of expense down the road. Apart from oil, it's essential to check the car's transmission fluid, brake fluid, power-steering fluid, and coolant.
It's worth reading the car's manual so you know when and what to check.
Your car's manual might not be the most entertaining read, but it pays off to be familiar with your expensive purchase. Answers to some of the most frequently asked questions can be found there.
If you consider yourself motor savvy, it's still worth reading it as newer cars tend to be richer in features.

Fruit Watercolors

Jones from the blog, Loveliest Days, recently shared some of the beautiful art she was considering for her baby girl's nursery.

Now I can't stop thinking about these perfectly not-so-perfect depictions of simple, delicious fruit!

WATCH ONLINE: Storm in a Cocoon, starring Steven Ma and Tavia Yeung
Storm in a Cocoon is a dramatic family period drama detailing the lives of workers in a silk factory. Starring Steven Ma and Tavia Yeung, you can now watch this classic Hong Kong hit online on DramaFever!
Steven Ma (The Life and Times of a Sentinel) and Tavia Yeung (Beyond the Realm of Conscience, The Hippocratic Crush) star in a family drama that proves deception and mistrust between siblings can be deadly. Military doctor Ka Yeung (Steven Ma) returns home after he learns that his sister has committed suicide. Upon his return, he also assumes his role as caretaker of the family business, the largest silk factory in Shunde. But he can't quite shake the feeling that his sister's apparent "suicide" was something more sinister. Bing Bing (Tavia Yeung), a close friend of Ka Yeung's deceased sister, also shares that suspicion of wrongdoing and the two set out to unravel the mystery behind their loved one's death. As they work together, they grow also closer to one another, but little do they know just how many people are potential suspects in this crime. And before they can fully resolve one threat, another danger awaits as someone begins to damage the ties between Ka Yeung and his older brother, Ka Hin (Steven Ma's The Life and Times of a Sentinel co-star Evergreen Mak). Through all this, Ka Yeung and Bing Bing stay close together. But when deception is all around them, can their trust in each other break through this web of lies and conspiracy? Adding to the drama are Kwan Jo Yiu (Bottled Passion alum and Tavia Yeung's fellow The Hippocratic Crush actor Raymond Cho), Bing Bing's long-time fiancé, Sin Bik Wan (Palace and The Confidant star Maggie Shiu), a senior forewoman whose complicated relationship with Ka Yeung's family is worsened by her hostility towards Bing Bing, and Fung Chi Ching (Heart of Greed star Natalie Tong), a deceptively complicated employee who has her own ulterior motives for being at the factory.
Also known as "Property Protector," Storm in a Cocoon once again reunites long-time friends and frequent collaborators Steven Ma and Tavia Yeung. The drama is directed by Leung Choi Yuen, another frequent collaborator of Ma's who has worked with him on several projects, including The Life and Times of a Sentinel. The series marked Ma's return to his home network, which he had previously left to focus on work in mainland China. Originally planned to take place in the modern day, the script was revised, after some contract re-negotiations, to be set in the early Republic era of China. The series debuted on TVB on February 17, 2014, and aired every weekday at 8:30 for a duration of 32 episodes, with the final two episodes airing jointly on March 30, 2014.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Nordic Walking Basics and other Nordic Walking topics.
Gentle exercise is something of a buzz word now. I guess some experts don't want to scare people away by implying that exercise might be hard, or even require some effort. I've even seen running and weight lifting given as examples of gentle exercise. Calling it that isn't going to make running gentle, and if it's gentle, it's not exercise. Exercise requires some effort, although pain is not necessary for gain. Nordic walking is low impact, but it's still exercise--and that's good. Nordic walking can be low, medium, or high intensity, depending on your skill level, physical condition, and what you want to do that day. Medium (moderate exercise) brings lots of health and fitness benefits. You have to do more low intensity exercise to get the same benefits as with moderate (go longer or farther). You have to be skilled and in good shape to maintain high intensity (strenuous) exercise for very long, but that doesn't mean you should stay away from it. So go out and enjoy Nordic walking, but don't be surprised if it doesn't feel "gentle."

The dollar index , which measures the greenback's value against a basket of six major currencies, last traded at 99.883. On Monday, it had risen as high as 100.22.If the index climbs above the December 2015 peak of 100.51, it would reach its highest level since April 2003.
Since Trump won the U.S. presidential last week, the 10-year U.S. bond yield has jumped about 0.40 percentage point to 10-month highs as his policies of heavy fiscal spending and trade protectionism are seen likely to stoke inflation.
"Everyone knows that there are questions over how much of his campaign promises Trump can actually deliver. There could be friction between the White House and the Congress down the road," said Kazushige Kaida, head of forex trading at State Street in Tokyo.
"But market players are not political scientists. For now, they have decided to jump on this euphoria," he added.
The dollar eased 0.3 percent to 108.12 yen, pulling back a bit from Monday's five-month high of 108.545 yen. The U.S. currency is still up 6.8 percent from a low touched last Wednesday.
"Given the massive increase in U.S. bond yields, the dollar is within sight of testing 110 yen," said Minori Uchida, chief currency analyst at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ.
"Even though U.S. bond yields rose sharply, U.S. stock prices were firm. As long as the U.S. share markets are supported, I suspect the dollar's appreciation will continue," he added.
Technical charts also point to the potential for further dollar strength against the yen, said Masashi Murata, currency strategist for Brown Brothers Harriman in Tokyo.
The dollar could rise towards levels seen in May, now that it has risen above its July peak as well as its 200-day moving average, he said.
"The dollar could reach levels around 111.50 yen by year-end," Murata said.
The euro edged up 0.1 percent to $1.0751, taking a breather after dropping to as low as $1.0709 on Monday, its lowest level since December.
The euro is also undermined by growing worries Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi may not stay on if he loses a referendum on constitutional reform on Dec. 4.
Polls show the "no" vote firmly in the lead, with Trump's unexpected victory seen bolstering support for Renzi's populist rivals in the 5-Star Movement.
Still, rises in implied volatilities on currency pairs such as euro/dollar and dollar/yen suggest market players are also wary of the possibility of a sudden fall in the dollar despite its spectacular gains over the last few days, said State Street's Kaida.
The euro/dollar one-month implied volatility rose to almost 11 percent on Tuesday, back near its highest level since late June, while implied volatility of the dollar/yen rose to almost 13 percent from last week's low around 10.5 percent.
The onshore Chinese yuan fell to its weakest level in nearly eight years on Tuesday, breaking through 6.85 per dollar.

Granny waxes lyrical in 'txt laureate' challenge
'O hart tht sorz, My luv adorz...'
A 68-year-old grandmother from Accrington, Lancashire, has rather agreeably secured runner-up spot and £350 in T-Mobile's "txt laureate" contest, Reuters reports.
The hunt for the UK's most romantic handset owner challenged would-be Betjemans to wax lyrical in the "ultimate SMS love poem", and Eileen Bridge saw off all but one of her fellow 200 entrants with this celebration of her hubby: "O hart tht sorz, My luv adorz, He mAks me liv, He mAks me giv, Myslf 2 him, As my luv porz."
Top spot and £1,000, however, went to 23-year-old London law student Ben Ziman-Bright, who offered: "Not even the wet rustle of rain can dampen today. Your text buoys me above oil-rainbow puddles like a paper boat, so that even soaked to the skin, I am grinning."
Competition judge Luke Wright, who appeared in "Luke Wright, Poet Laureate" at last year's Edinburgh fringe, said of the winning entry: "Ben was easily the winner because of things like his contrast of the 'oil-rainbow' puddles, which is poetic and abstract. Then his last line about 'grinning' brings the poem right back down to earth." ®

Obtaining a master size mattress is a huge purchase and it's one that may considerably increase the high-quality of your daily life. But there's a capture, you need to ensure it's at its best to help you stay comfortable all through the evenings. Investing another of your daily life on your own mattress only indicates you need to ensure that it stays at first class conditions and in regard to the mattress, there's a great deal you can do to care for this. Or else you'll be giving on dirt and beginning your early morning with backaches.
Obtain a total set
Once you've done your best research at http://mattress-inquirer.com, you don't want to place it on your own aged package spring. Although they don't show indicators of put on, package springs really degenerate and utilizing an aged one problems the mattress and decreases its overall performance. This also decreases the lifestyle of your mattress and, in some circumstances, void your guarantee. So, ensure you receive the package spring and the mattress being a set. They are generally developed to provide you with the best overall performance and support when used with each other.
Spin it
Resting on the best mattress each and every night and applying your unwanted weight around the same spot is painful your mattress. Try out and spin it a minimum of four occasions annually and this will eliminate of the body perceptions and allow the cushioning to compromise uniformly. Also flip the mattress sometimes to avoid the package springs from unevenly putting on the mattress.
Steady support
Your mattress needs to be properly backed so ensure which you are utilizing a durable framework. If you're utilizing a master size mattress, ensure the framework flawlessly suits the master size mattress measurements. Also determine there is more than sufficient middle support to stop your framework from breaking up or bowing. An inadequate framework support also decreases the life-span and overall performance of the mattress.
Don't flex it
In case your mattress is not developed totally with smooth materials, then you can be specific it shouldn't be curved. Usually, there's a cable that edges the mattress to ensure that it stays durable and this boundary cable needs to stay directly. Then when you're moving through doorways, or addressing it with installed bedding, be wise about this. Steer clear of twisting or foldable the mattresses whatsoever situations. For any best master size mattress, call your producer on how it must be curved in the event you really need to. Performing it the wrong way problems the mattress and furthermore voids the guarantee, and that's not something you'll be anticipating to.
Appropriate cleaning

The only real authorized cleaning method is vacuum-cleaning it and you need to completely concentrate on the best and edges to get free of any dust mites that may be feasting on your own body squander.
Don't dried out clean the mattress. Once again, never dried out clean it. Dried out cleaning uses chemical substance brokers that are severe and may harm the mattress' material. If there's a continual blemish you want to get free of, then soap and drinking water ought to be sufficient.

From Santa Barbara, California, USA:
My brother, age 14, was diagnosed about one year ago with Type 1 diabetes. Would it be a good idea for me, a non-diabetic, age 16, to take part in the DPT-1 trials?
I am going to assume that your younger brother is being looked after by a diabetes team that is either part of DPT-1 or is aware of the study and that you can go and talk to them before you make any final decision. At all events, here are some figures that may help you:
With only your younger brother as a first degree relative with Type 1 diabetes, your chances of developing the same condition are between about 3 to 4%. At the age of sixteen you are beyond the peak incidence so that your chances of having a positive antibody test are probably somewhere nearer to 1 in 50. It may be that you really don't want to know what the answer is, in which case you can just not get tested. On the other hand, with such a low chance of being positive, it is much more likely that you would be reassured by the test, and my suggestion would be to go ahead and have it done.
The second part of your decision is what to do if your test is positive for two or more antibodies, making you eligible for the DPT-1 trial. First of all, you need to know that there is a 50% chance that you would be randomly assigned to the 'control' group. This would mean being carefully watched to see if diabetes was developing and receiving good care if it did. If you were in the 'test' group you would be asked to start taking small doses of insulin by injection. This might seem a burden; but on the other hand, the preliminary evidence strongly suggests that this will delay the onset of clinical diabetes. There is another possibility, which is that you could take part in the trial of oral insulin. Again there is the 50% chance that you will be assigned to the control group; but if you are in the other group you would not have to start injections. However, at the present much less is known about how effective oral insulin is in delaying dependance on injected insulin.
There is a third possibility that you should know about. In Europe and Canada there is a big trial underway to see if one of the B vitamins called nicotinamide can also delay the onset of clinical diabetes. The results are not yet known, but some earlier work in New Zealand, which not every diabetes doctor in this country accepts, suggests that in a little over half of those with antibodies, the need for insulin injections can be put off for five years or more. A problem with this approach is that it is also now thought that if you stop the nicotinamide the protection is removed. On the other hand, if you did not want to take part in DPT-1, it might defer clinical diabetes until some better form of vaccination became available.

CIEM (International Centre for Mathematical meetings) is a join initiative of the University of Cantabria and the City Council of Castro Urdiales.
CIEM's main objective is to promote quality mathematical research, both basic, applied and computacional, taking special care to multi and pluridisciplinar aspects, by organizing and supporting conferences, workshops, advanced courses and research meetings.
We hope to become un international agent promoting and hosting mathematical events of highest quality.
All individuals and groups insterested in organizing an event can ask for us to allocate it. We offer our resources (lecture room for 100 people, smaller meeting rooms, internet wifi, computer room) plus logistic and monetary support for the organization, accomodation, etc. The candidate events must meet the following requirements:
• They have to be thematically related to mathematics or close fields (computer science, theoretical physics) and their quality be guaranteed by a scientific and/or organizing committee.
• Their length should preferably be one week (monday to friday), but three day meetings and, exceptionally, two-week meetings are also allowed.
