Migrant Education Health Program, 1984. Final Report.
Colorado State Dept. of Education, Denver. Compensatory Education Services Unit.
During 1984 the Colorado Migrant Health Program, together with the Colorado Migrant Education Program, provided students enrolled in migrant summer schools with a continuum of care which included screening and physical assessment for detection of existing and potential health problems, referral for diagnosis and treatment of identified abnormalities, case management/follow-up, and preventive and health promotion/health maintenance services. The program employed 16.5 nurses, 19 dental hygienists, 14 nutritionists, 29 dental students or recent graduates, and 6 nursing students. These health providers were placed in multidisciplinary teams and deployed in close proximity to all 15 migrant education summer school sites. A total of 1,901 migrant children, ranging in age from 1 to 21 years (63.9% between 5 and 10 years of age), received one or more services. To enhance the general health status of the migrant farmworker population, health education units on dental health, nutrition, and safety education were integrated into the migrant school curriculum, and health team members participated in various health activities. This report provides information on the service population, service providers, health encounters (face-to-face interaction between provider and student), health screening procedures and outcomes, most frequent diagnosis, health education activities and curriculum, and financial resources. Comparative statistics by school site are appended. (NQA)

From "the _______ of strings and objects", 2013, browser-based moving image installation, 25-minute sequence

new works by Ray Sweeten & Lisa Gwilliam
(aka DataSpaceTime)
Opening Saturday October 19, 6-9pm
Microscope Gallery is very pleased to present Thresholds, the second solo exhibition of works by the artistic pair Ray Sweeten and Lisa Gwilliam, also known as DataSpaceTime. The artists – whose collaborations to date have centered around works utilizing the QR code – continue their exploration of the culture of informatics and the thresholds of visual perception and recognition with new browser-based installation works disrupting the aesthetic and processes of video and animated gifs.
Both works in Thresholds utilize original videos recorded by the artists that have been deconstructed into as many as 25,000 animated gifs and then reassembled across a grid of phasing pivot points to create moving image works that play in localized browser windows (not through video playback devices).
In "the _____ of strings and objects", images from the original video – escalator stairs, subway tunnels, burning sparklers, city traffic and other scenes – play, slightly offset, on each of two 60 inch LED screens. Subtle changes in light, motion, and content between and within the grids challenge the viewer's ability to recognize the familiar in this 25-minute looping work. A third browser, on a smaller screen, offers a real time report of the activities of the main screens – which are able to interact with each other through a web socket (a virtual open "door") – including the rotations of the gifs, the state of the browsers, and other raw event-based messages.
In the second installation, "if (an index) is occupied", a 10-minute, single monitor work based on the same technology as the first piece, the artists take the element of self-reflection further, featuring the language and structures of software as both content and subject matter. The imagery – often seen as viewed through a magnifying lens – contains among others the actual code of the first written computer program (by Ada Lovelace) as well as the artists code used to generate the work itself. What is seen, although generated by a language is no longer that language, but an aestheticized by-product of its execution.
Thresholds by Ray Sweeten & Lisa Gwilliam (aka DataSpaceTime) opens at Microscope Gallery on Saturday, October 19 from 6 to 9pm, and runs through December 1, 2013. Gallery Hours: Thurs to Mon 1-6PM, or by appointment.
Sound and visual artist RAY SWEETEN and artist and set designer LISA GWILLIAM debuted as the collaborative duo DataSpaceTime in November 2011 at Microscope Gallery with the exhibition "the optimal value for y". Their work most recently exhibited this month at Dialogic, a group show at Rowan University Art Gallery in New Jersey. Their work has also been shown at Whitdel Arts, Detroit, Michigan; Festival A-part, Provence, France; Cyber Arts Gallery, Jamaica Plain, MA among others. Sweeten & Gwilliam's collaborative work has also been featured in Hyperallergic, Blouin ArtInfo, Artspace, Cool Hunting, and other publications.

Supporters of the Redwood Empire Food Bank gathered on Saturday for a landmark moment — a groundbreaking celebration of the Food Bank's new home on Brickway Boulevard near the Sonoma County airport. It was also a moment to celebrate the successful completion of a $9 million fundraising campaign to acquire the new 60,000-square-foot building and shape it into something that will meet the region's food needs for years.
It's a need that continues to grow.
The number of Sonoma County families and individuals served by the Food Bank has increased 45 percent in the past five years. And despite hints that the economy is improving, the demand has increased another 11 percent over the past two years. The Food Bank now provides food to 78,000 people — 34,000 of them children — in Sonoma County each month.<NO1>, most of it through its own distribution centers but much of it through its 166 partner agencies.<NO>
In terms of pounds of food distributed per person in poverty, the Redwood Empire Food Bank ranks in the top 6 percent of food banks in the nation.
The event Saturday recognized not only a major accomplishment — the raising of $9million through 350 generous donors — but a breakthrough moment as well. The Food Bank needed new space because it had reached the point it could no longer accept any more donations, even as the demand for food continued to rise.
This new home, a converted warehouse, will provide more storage space, more room for refrigeration and more space for volunteers to package foods. It also will allow the Food Bank to offer new programs and services, such as the creation of a revenue-generating cafe to serve workers in the area who can learn about the Food Bank and possibly volunteer.
But to make that happen, and to ensure that the Food Bank opens in its new home in the spring of 2013 as scheduled, there's one more piece that needs to fall into place.
The Food Bank is now launching its "Community Campaign," which will provide everyone an opportunity to take part in this grand "blueprint to end hunger." The long-term goal is to raise the final $750,000 needed to meet the facility's needs.
The Food Bank's new home will feature a wall of tiles, each with the name of a person or organization that donated $500 or more. Donors also will be invited to the Food Bank's grand opening celebration in 2013.
We encourage residents to take part in this campaign to the extent they are able. During the coming winter months, we no doubt will write again about the region's need for turkeys and other food items. But this campaign offers an opportunity to be part of a legacy effort to stamp out hunger here at home.
As Food Bank Executive Director David Goodman put it, "This is the most important humanitarian effort ever to take place in Sonoma County."
We believe it. Figures show that one in six people in the county is in need of food on any given day. Let's ensure no one is ever left without.

(5 out of 5 stars)
"I have to agree with Maria, this is a great album of Mariachi music. The Huerta sisters deliver a precise two-part harmony and many of the arrangements are outstanding....particularly the Norteno style cuts, in which a saxophone & accordion are added for a harmonious richness.
Further, songs like Hermosas Fuentes & Ingratios Ojos Mios, not only have the stickyness of the Mexican polka melodies but they also incorporate post-modern and blues harmonies that are intellectually gratifying. And, Falsaria is one of the most beautiful boleros I have come accross."

The College of Pharmacy at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo has grown by leaps and bounds since it was founded in 2006.
"We've met every benchmark we have tried to over the past five years," said dean John M. Pezzuto. "We are fully accredited. We started graduate programs, residencies. We are spread throughout the state on every neighbor island. And we really are Hawaiʻi's only College of Pharmacy. I think we represent the state very well."
Hawaiʻi's College of Pharmacy
There are about 375 students enrolled in the college and about half of them are from Hawaiʻi, like Hilo's Moani Hagiwara, who took part in the annual White Coat ceremony, a rite of passage for first year students.
"I kind of got a little chicken skin," said Hagiwara after the ceremony. "A chill went through my body. I grew up here on this island too so it is a little bit of home pride as well. It's exciting to have it here especially."
Local students like Hagiwara can now stay home to pursue an education in pharmacy. It's what attracted Davis Hanai, a second year pharmacy student, to the program.
"I would like to work in Hawaiʻi and I feel like if you want to train with the population you are going to work with, that's a big deal to have the pharmacy school here in Hawaiʻi," said Hanai.
The college and a lot of hard work is also a prescription for personal success. About 80 percent of the 2011 graduates found jobs or a paid residency. The average salary for graduates working full time $117,000 a year.
"You can go into retail, into hospital, you can go into industry, you can go into more policy making so there is a lot of choices and opportunities for students who want to make a difference," said Hanai.
The college is also an economic engine according to an independent study by economist David Hammes, which has shown the UH Hilo College of Pharmacy contributes more than $50 million dollars a year to the economy of Hawai'i. There are faculty on O'ahu, Maui and Kaua'i, with students and residents placed in hospitals throughout the state. It was even named one of the top five new pharmacy schools in the nation by US News and World Report.
"Over the years, we have even exceeded even our own expectations," said Pezzuto.
The school's impact reaches far beyond Hawaiʻi. Besides being the only College of Pharmacy in the state, it's the only one in the Pacific region. The College of Pharmacy extends its reach by sending students to conduct practical experience, called rotations, through a memo of understanding to Guam, Alaska and American Samoa. The agreement has encouraged students such as Francine Amoa to come to UH Hilo from American Samoa, which only has one pharmacist on the whole island.
"I personally think that having a college of pharmacy, and the only college of pharmacy in the Pacific rim, is a huge importance, just because there isn't another institution for Pacific islanders like me to go and get an education and go back and serve our community," said Amoa.
The college looks to the future
The school has always had one ambitious goal: to be a top-rated college. It is on its way, but there is one more big thing that has to be accomplished before that goal can be reached.
That's one location for the entire college. Right now, the school is spread out over five different locations. Classrooms are in a temporary facility on the outskirts of campus. The administration is housed in a borrowed county building a few miles away that was built in 1920. The research labs are seven miles out of Hilo in antiquated buildings constructed in the '60s.
"We really have to bring all of our people together," said Pezzuto. "We have to ground our research programs. We have to strengthen our clinical programs. And there is no way we can really effectively accomplish that without a permanent building."
UH Hilo Assistant Professor Dana Koomoa-Lange, a researcher at the college strongly agrees.
"To have that community together where we can really communicate on an everyday basis and have more research seminars and more interaction with the students as well," said Koomoa-Lange. "I think that will be really instrumental in bringing the college of pharmacy forward into the future."
The future is now. The building design is complete and the facility site has been selected. Now it is just a question of funding. The permanent college of pharmacy building is the University of Hawai'i's top funding priority. Governor Abercrombie is including funding in the executive budget, according to Pezzuto.
"We have the site. It is shovel ready. It's ready to go, so as soon as we secure the funding, we can have a groundbreaking and secure the future of the college, secure the future of pharmacy in the state and really help us do what we have the capability of doing," said Pezzuto.

Another View -- Marjorie Smith: Getting New Hampshire students back to schoolBy MARJORIE SMITH
September 13. 2017 12:14AM
In Virginia, it is referred to as "The King's Dominion Bill." In Maryland, the governor went to Ocean City to sign the bill into law. These bills are the model that Gov. Chris Sununu wants New Hampshire to adopt. And the governor's thinking is right in line with Maryland and Virginia.
The enthusiasm for requiring that no school start before Labor Day has nothing to do with our children's education. It has to do with attendance at summer destinations. Gov. Sununu says this will strengthen the economy. But will it?
New Hampshire's employers of all political persuasions are asking for qualified workers. Qualified workers are educated workers.
As Jeff Smink noted in a New York Times op-ed piece, "If students are not engaged in learning over the summer, they lose skills in math and reading. Summers off are one of the most important, yet least acknowledged, causes of underachievement in our schools."
And in this, and in so many other policies, the loss falls most heavily on low-income children whose parents likely have neither the time nor the resources to send their children to camps or take them on educational trips.
Smink refers to a Johns Hopkins study in Baltimore that found about two-thirds of the achievement gap between lower-and higher-income ninth graders could be explained by summer learning loss during the elementary school years.
This is not what employers want when they talk about work force preparedness. Falling behind in elementary school increases the likelihood of even greater loss in high school.
A RAND Corporation report states that the average loss in math and reading for American students amounts to one month per year, and the loss for low income students is closer to two months.
Use it or lose it is a principle that we all recognize.
Schools all over the country have recognized the soundness of the research that encourages shorter summer vacations. And they have proven the accuracy of that research by decreases in the summer 'slide' and increased performance.
Teachers have to spend less time getting children back to where they were at the end of the previous school year before they can move on to the current year's curriculum.
Automobile manufacturers do not agree to the gasoline producers' request for less efficient cars so that they might sell more gasoline. Manufacturers do not choose to buy poorly made parts so that the parts manufacturer might increase profit. So too, those responsible for the system of public education in New Hampshire should not agree to a calendar that might increase the profit of a summer resort at the expense of the quality and effectiveness of education that is available to the future work force of the state.
Marjorie Smith represents Durham and Madbury in the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

Carl Willis, the Indians pitching coach from 2003 to 2009, is back with the Tribe in the same role, the team announced on Oct. 26.
Willis replaces Mickey Callaway, who earlier this week was hired to manage the New York Mets. Willis spent the last two and a half seasons as the Red Sox pitching coach under manager John Farrell, who was fired after Boston was eliminated by Houston in the ALCS.
The Indians knew the likelihood of losing Callaway was strong, so as soon as the Mets made their move, the Indians were ready to offer the job Callaway left to Willis. The Indians did not want another team to beat them to the punch.
"We moved quickly because there was a lot of competition out there for pitching coaches," manager Terry Francona said on a conference call. "The fact he knows so many of our pitchers, he knows our organization, is a huge bonus. He'll hit the ground running."
Indians pitchers tutored by Willis were very successful. The Indians won the American League ERA title in 2005 (3.61). CC Sabathia won the American League Cy Young Award in 2007. Cliff Lee won the Cy Young in 2009.
Willis, 56, is stepping into a good situation. Indians starter Corey Kluber is expected to win the 2017 Cy Young Award. The Indians led all of baseball with a 3.30 ERA and the bullpen led by Bryan Shaw, Andrew Miller and closer Cody Allen is one of the best in both leagues. Shaw, however, will be a free agent next week without a new contract.
"One of Carl's huge strengths is his ability to connect with people," Francona said. "I think our pitchers will know right away Carl is in their corner and he cares about them. It's a really good hire for us, one that everyone is thrilled about, because Mickey did an outstanding job for us.
"Everyone knows how much we value our pitching. We think Carl is an exceptional hire."
Willis has plans to talk to each of the Indians pitchers. He is excited to get going, even though the start of spring training is about four months away.
"I got my start with the Indians organization back in 1997," Willis said on the conference call. "Knowing the people and the expectations, but just the caring and how much of a family it really is — it's a unique situation that's hard to find elsewhere. Knowing a few of the pitchers and knowing most of the staff, it's just a very comfortable situation."
Willis also had success with the Red Sox. Boston finished second to Cleveland in 2017 in the American League in ERA (3.70, 4th in MLB) and shutouts (11, 19 for the Indians) and recorded the second-fewest walks (465, 406 for the Indians) and set a single-season franchise record for strikeouts (1580, 3rd-most in the AL).

Remembering Sean Sasser: The Real World Star's AIDS Advocacy Halted by Mesothelioma
Forty-Eight Insulations, Inc.
In 1923, the Forty-Eight Insulations Company was founded as a producer of high level insulation materials. Most of their products contained asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral which was later found to be highly toxic. Because of the presence of asbestos, many customers who purchased insulation became very sick and some even lost their lives. When people are around asbestos in any form, they are likely to unknowingly inhale microscopic particles of the substance which can become lodged in the respiratory system and promote diseases such as mesothelioma, an asbestos cancer that has a typically low survival rate because there is no cure.
Treatment can, however, be found at leading mesothelioma clinics in the country. They offer treatments like mesothelioma pleurocentesis, pneumonectomy, pleurodesis and mesothelioma extrapleural pneumonectomy. Chemotherapy with Alimta®, Navelbine and Onconase is also used. We offer more resources on mesothelioma as well as treatment information in our mesothelioma treatment guide.
Asbestos was used by Forty-Eight Insulations until 1982, so a large number of people were affected by their toxic products. Former customers began to file lawsuits and create claims that they were injured because of these asbestos filled items. By 1985, the company had been dealt more than 26,000 claims, and they decided to declare bankruptcy.
Forty-Eight Insulations underwent a ten year plan in which their assets were liquidated to cover their debts. The Chapter 11 filing would eventually allow them to resume business, but first a plan had to be created to finish paying off the asbestos lawsuits. The Forty-Eight Insulation Qualified Settlement Trust was developed to handle the settlement process for existing and future cases. Two separate amounts were placed into the trust fund. The first was $39 million to finalize all existing claims, and the second was an additional $15 million for future claims.
Every claim that is received by the Trust is examined to ensure it meets all qualifying criteria. This includes proof that the plaintiff was injured from using products made by Forty-Eight Insulations and a certified legal document stating what type of illness they are suffering with. The trustee over the fund has the option to deny claims that are seen as ineligible, and a rejection will sometimes lead to long and costly court battles.

PARIS (Reuters) - President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday France would continue to push for intransigent policies towards North Korea's ballistic programme and was ready to undertake new initiatives after its latest "irresponsible" ballistic missile launch.
North Korea fired a ballistic missile over Japan's northern Hokkaido island into the sea early on Tuesday, prompting warnings to residents to take cover and drawing a sharp reaction from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

TRENTON – Legislation that would allow some police officers who have had their jobs cut to skip re-taking the basic police training course received final legislative approval Thursday.
The bill (A-3876) would exempt police officers who were laid-off for economic or efficiency reasons from retaking the basic police training course, if they are rehired by their former agency or find a job with a new agency within five years from the date their employment was terminated. Under the current Police Training Commission policy, a police officer who has a break in service of more than three years is required to retake the basic training course.
"We all know how tough it can be to secure a job in the current economic climate," said Assemblyman Craig Coughlin (D-Middlesex), a sponsor of the bill. "This will help police officers focus on the job search, without a timeline hanging over their heads."
The bill was approved 70-0 by the Assembly on Thursday, and 35-0 by the Senate in April. It now heads to the governor's desk.

Where'd you say you're from?
I think it pinpoints the site currently being used by your ISP for the IP address it has assigned to you. IOW, if your ISP has servers in multiple locations and assigns different IP addresses at different times, the location on the map may vary.
Can anyone else confirm or deny this hypothesis?
Jack Lail
I actually asked that question to the widget makers after I noticed they had me in Texas instead of Tennessee, but didn't get a response. Some "check my IP sites" do show it as Texas so I suspect Comcast does have some sort of operational center in the greater Dallas area. But another one I used pinpointed me right to Knoxville. I guess your mileage will vary?
FYI, the site's blog said yesterday it was under a denial of service attack. A joy of getting highlighted in TechCrunch, I suppose.

Jack White News
Jack White loves making music. He has produced music as the leading member of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather, and, most recently, has released Blunderbuss, the first album of his solo career. Because Jack White makes so much music, and also owns his own record company, Third Man Records, there is almost a ceaseless stream of information centered around his many projects. What has he been up to?
1. On July 9th, Third Man Records released two records, each that feature the audio from The White Stripes' performances at the Detroit bar the Gold Dollar back in 1997. These live recordings mark the beginning of The White Stripes' career as their first performances.
Live at the Gold Dollar 7″, which has recordings of "Jimmy the Exploder," "Love Potion #9," and "St. James Infirmary Blues" (from their eponymous album, later released in 1999), is from the open mic night at the Gold Dollar of July 14, 1997.
The second record, a 12″ white vinyl that, along with the red of the 7″ completes The White Stripes' trademark color theme, includes audio from The White Stripes concert debut on the 14th of August, 1997. It is also titled Live at the Gold Dollar and features preliminary takes of "Screwdriver" and "Lafayette Blues," and, as a bonus, their cover of the Stooges' "TV Eye."
Check out some footage of their show at the Gold Dollar on November 27th, 1999 here.
2. At this year's Bonnaroo, before playing "Supercollider," Thom Yorke teased the crowd by dedicating the song to White: "This song is for Jack White. We saw him yesterday. A big thank-you to him, but we can't tell you why. You'll find out." This obviously started quite the buzz.
On July 5th, in an interview on BBC 6Music, Jack White confirmed that Radiohead made a trip to Nashville to record at Third Man Records. He didn't say much, as he wasn't sure what the band wanted to be common knowledge: "I don't know how much to tell about. I didn't play with them or produce it, but they came and recorded at Third Man, and I don't know what else they want to be said about that so that's probably all I can say!"
It is too bad that there wasn't any collaboration between the band and White, but, hey, at least Radiohead recorded some stuff!
3. The last piece of news is the release of the teaser trailer for the Jack White's coming video for his third single off of Blunderbuss, "Freedom at 21," due to make its debut on Monday, July 16th. Directed by Hype Williams, mainly a video producer for rap artists (including Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, Nas, and LL Cool J) who has occasionally dabbled in the realm of rock, most notably producing the video for Coldplay's "Viva la Vida."
It seems as if the video will have some edge to it, as it features White speeding along in a washed out world where only his neon green car has any true vibrancy to it. Toward the end of the trailer, White is shown being arrested by a scantily clad female police officer. It seems as if his new thing is being bound inside of cars, such as when he is burned alive in the back of a car at the end of the official video of his second single off of Blunderbuss, "Sixteen Saltines." It certainly won't be minimalistic and reserved like the video for the first single, "Love Interruption."
Regardless, it will likely be a pretty fast-paced and visually stunning video, as White has a penchant for creating good visual representations of his work. The song is one of my favorites of his and I am certainly looking forward to the video's release on Monday.
Make sure you keep up to date with the many endeavors of Jack White as I expect more out of him in the next couple of weeks.

PORTLAND – Eric Anderson has found a novel way to give to charity.
Anderson, originally from Portland and back home to visit family for the holidays, lives in a cooperative home in Cambridge, Mass. Every month one of the 11 housemates picks a charitable organization or cause to donate to and they all chip in.
"We take turns," said Anderson.
Anderson was one of several shoppers in the Old Port Saturday who said they have upped or maintained their levels of charitable giving over the past year.
Others said the languishing economy has caused them to cut back on giving, which may explain the drop in on-the-street giving at Salvation Army kettles this year.
The Salvation Army's Portland Corps reported that as of Saturday its kettle campaign had raised $99,324, compared to $167,852 during the 2011 holiday season.
While the Salvation Army and other charitable groups step up their fundraising efforts this time of year, Mainers can be a tough sell in some ways.
The state ranks last in household contributions to all forms of charity compared to other states, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
Maine's median household contribution is $1,403 a year compared to $5,255 for Utah residents.
Mainers came in second to last, just above New Hampshire, in giving as a percentage of discretionary income. Other states in the Northeast also rank near the bottom.
But when religion is removed from the equation, Mainers and others in the Northeast turn out to be more generous than any other part of the country, giving 1.4 percent of all discretionary income to charity compared to .9 percent in the South, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
There are plenty of Mainers who said they are raising their donations this year.
Peter Fendler of Brunswick, president of financial services at Norton Insurance and Financial in Cumberland, said his company has managed to increase its giving because business is so good.
He said his company budgets its charitable giving and asks employees to nominate potential charities.
"We generally try to have a couple in Bangor and Portland and one or two in New Hampshire."
The employees have to show why their nominees, which must be human-service related, are worthy.
Jason Gall of Cumberland said he is giving more this year.
"It feels as if people need more," said Gall.
He said he tends to give to the same organizations each year and prefers giving to agencies helping children and the poor. Helping Other People Everywhere, cofounded by his brother, Ryan Gall, the American Cancer Society, the Salvation Army and the United Way are some of his favorites, he said.
Alex Kasny of Scarborough said he expects to give at about the same level as last year. He said he gives to the Salvation Army but is finding it difficult to find their donation kettles.
"You used to see them in town and today I haven't seen any," said Kasny.
Newlyweds Melissa Fitta and Seamus McGrath of Portland said they are giving less this year, in part because of wedding expenses.
Fitta said she also feels like she contributes as part of her job.
"I am a social worker and I give a lot on a daily basis," said Fitta.
McGrath said he was inspired earlier in the day by a pedestrian who handed an energy bar to a panhandler.
"It is better to give people food than money," said McGrath.
Rita Swidrowski of South Portland said she is definitely giving less than before the economic recession and now focuses her giving on several organizations that are working to cure diseases and to Spiral Arts Inc., a Portland-based group.
"What I like about Spiral Arts is they bring arts to communities that do not have resources for the arts," said Swidrowski.

Amber teething necklaces that have been popular in Europe, America and various other parts of the world since people used them for teething pain relief. They are demanded and sold worldwide. There are lots of sceptics of the opinion that they are useless and choking hazards for babies under 3. On the other hand, there is the lot that can swear the miraculous power of the knotted beads.
Fact or Fiction
Now, the question emerges whether the amber teething necklaces are worth the hype? It is hard to decide amidst a vast sea of diverse opinions. Whether, here, it is suggested to rely or don't rely upon these resins, two large classes are supporting the both views and confusing the potential buyers.
The only way to know the reality of this traditional teething remedy is using it at least once. But, if you want to understand the reasons behind its popularity and negative views, below are given the facts provided by the doctors and the lot favouring the necklaces, and also the opinion of people who turned down the idea.
How It Works
A common notion says that when these amber teething necklaces are tied around the necks of your babies, they feel healthy, the teething pain goes down, drooling reaches at the lowest level and the inflammation comes to an end. It is all because the warmth of the beads is transferred to the skin. After this, the skin transfers the absorbed heat (succinic acid) to the bloodstream.
Succinic acid, the biggest attribute of the amber teething necklace, is known to be one of the most anti-inflammatory remedies around the world. When it is mixed in the bloodstream, the heart pumps it to all the parts of the body. As a result, the teething pain becomes neglectable, and inflammation is no more a big deal. Babies are found playing, laughing and enjoying sound sleep during teething period if they wear these necklaces.
The Other Views
There is another group of people that is of the opinion that succinic acid absorbed by the skin cannot be transferred into blood because there are various other things that are harmful and we use on skin; we stay away from harms because blood cannot absorb elements from the surface, just as hair dye colours. They also fear that amber teething necklaces may be choking.
Overall, the group with a positive opinion is larger than the latter.

This website is for every Canadian who cares about our unborn children - whether you know what Motion 312 is or not! I'm not going to waste words here. Just know these facts:
- Canada's Criminal code defines unborn children as non human beings!
- One brave MP Stephen Woodworth has brought forward Motion 312 in an attempt to evaluate that law and possibly change it.
- Almost every political party in Canada is opposing Motion 312. Prime Minister Stephen Harper made it clear that he will vote against it. (Only the Christian Heritage Party supports Motion 312 to our knowledge)
- An estimated 100,000 plus letters and emails have been sent to our MPs this summer urging them to support Motion 312. And yet the word from MPs is that it will not pass unless they hear more from Canadians in support of it.
- There are over 4,000,000 evangelical Christians in Canada. That means 4 million people who have no excuse for ignoring the abuse of our unborn children (Psalm82:2-4). Nearly 4 million people, however, who have no idea what Motion 312 is and have not yet contacted their MP in favor of it.

Good hike!
An excellent trail, actually intermediate and with mixed views! We only saw 2 other people the whole time. Trail full of surprises. Theres a pretty steep incline if you are injured or have weak knees stay away.
Cons: Tons of horse flies and spiders.
This was a nice hike with plenty of stream views.
Trail walking next to a stream for most of the way. No great view at the top.
Even though we hiked this in winter expecting some views through the woods, we really didn't see any. Elevation change to the summit is not too bad; we combined this with other trails to create a pretty good workout. Not a bad set of trails for this part of the state.
Great Trail! really enjoyed it. it was my first hike!
It was okay but it would have been nicer in October
I did this one a week ago. Another wonderful winter hiking trail.
perfect park to get away from the hustle and bustle of our busy life. took my kids hiking and the loved it so much we are taking a 3 day camping trip there this weekend and hiking all of the trails!!!
Another great trail in Medoc Mountain State Park. I've hiked it numerous times and it's always enjoyable. There is some evidence of an old scout camp and a concrete dam along the trail.

The $25 million campaign is shot in a cinema verite-style and takes a look inside the marketing department of a tobacco company.
In one spot, a marketing director talks about "selling cigarettes without selling cigarettes" through tactics such as "sponsoring a charity" and getting free publicity to spread their message.
Another ad shows the tobacco marketers trying to get young people to adopt smoking. "We know where they are," he says, ticking off places such as the Internet, malls and sporting events. "We're there, legally, proudly," he says.
The spots are tagged "Do You Smell Smoke" and have launched on a number of news broadcasts as well as programming such as Jeopardy.
After a review, the Marina del Rey-based Ground Zero last summer won the account, which earmarked spending of $125 million for over five years. Asher & Partners, now Asher/Gal, Los Angeles, had long spearheaded the state's anti-smoking effort.

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. , June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) announced today that it has obtained FDA clearance to market the Aptima® Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 1 & 2 molecular assay on the fully automated Panther® system. The test will be commercially available in the 50 United States, U.S. territories and Puerto Rico. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, infections with HSV-2, the herpes strain with more serious health implications, affect more than 24 million Americans.1
The Aptima HSV 1 & 2 assay can be used to qualitatively detect, and differentiate between, HSV-1 and HSV-2. Specimens collected in a broad range of transport media, including the Aptima specimen transport medium, can be tested with the assay.
"Helping our clinical lab customers consolidate testing on the Panther system enables them to be more efficient and productive," said Tom West, president of the Diagnostic Solutions Division at Hologic. "By partnering with our customers, we'll be better able to offer more people high-quality and faster testing results and improve detection of STIs like herpes. This new product clearance reflects our commitment to providing healthcare professionals and patients with greater certainty and peace of mind."
The HSV assay joins a growing list of molecular tests available on Hologic's Panther system, a market-leading, integrated platform that fully automates molecular testing for laboratories. The Panther system substantially reduces hands-on time for laboratories by providing random and continuous access with rapid turnaround time. Many U.S.-based laboratories today conduct HSV testing via live culture, which is both time-consuming, with additional manual steps, and slow, delivering results in days rather than hours. In addition, studies show that HSV molecular diagnostic tests are three to five times more sensitive than live culture samples.2
Hologic estimates that tests run on the Panther system benefit more than 40 million people worldwide annually.3 These include assays for other sexually transmitted infections (such as Human papillomavirus, Chlamydia trachomatis/Neisseria gonorrhea, Trichomonas vaginalis) and a virology menu (including HIV-1 and Hepatitis C Viruses).
How the new assay works
The Aptima HSV 1 & 2 assay is a nucleic acid amplification test for the qualitative detection and differentiation of HSV types 1 and 2 in clinician-collected swab specimens from anogenital skin lesions. These samples can be collected using either the new Aptima Multitest Swab Specimen Collection Kit or commercially available viral transport media. The Aptima Multitest Swab Specimen Collection Kit offers healthcare providers greater versatility in sample collection.
The assay can be used to aid in the diagnosis of HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 infections in symptomatic women and men. It distinguishes between HSV 1 and 2, which is recommended in all patients with first-episode genital herpes.4 Patients with HSV-2 are at increased risk for contracting and transmitting HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus).5 Pregnant women infected with HSV-2 are at risk of transmitting the virus to their babies during birth, which can cause neurological complications.

Yield Curve Spread Trades - a.k.a curve trades - provide market participants return generating and hedging opportunities. Curve trades occur in the most liquid interest rate markets including U.S. Treasuries, futures, other government bonds, swaps and euro-dollars. Due to the operational simplicity and deep market liquidity, many market participants prefer to execute curve trades in the futures markets.
Large institutions and professionals have traded the yield curve spread for decades. In our opinion, the lack of intuitive, easy-to-use tools has hindered broader adoption of yield curve spread trading. CurveTrades believes that the yield curve spread sector offers a largely untapped asset class with global opportunities.
