But then I don't see the map they are on and there planets so not easy to know the full power of each of them.

Still if the houses involved in a war all agree to let a reply be seen by Kosmor members it would be ok. A method of storing the turns and maps I guess would need a lot of work. I would love to view say 3 months of game play in an hour or so from watching a replay of that period Originally it was ment to concearn the UNSCRAPIER - NobleSteve war only, but in my opinion is a great suggestion for improvement!

Division of Workers' Compensation issues 15-day notice of revisions to proposed utilization review enforcement regulations
The Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) has modified its regulations for utilization review enforcement. A 15-day notice of modification was distributed to interested parties and the revised regulations are posted to the DWC Web site. Members of the public may comment on the revisions until 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2007.
The proposed utilization review enforcement regulations are authorized by Labor Code section 4610, which requires every employer to have and use a utilization review process, and sets out timelines and conditions to be met whenever a request for authorization of medical treatment will be delayed, modified or denied.
The revisions include:

Care model for more than just medical condition needed in long-term careSeptember 20, 2013
Of the most efficient countries for healthcare, the United States ranks second in healthcare costs per capita but 46th in efficiency (out of the 48 countries ranked!). The move from a biomedical to a biopsychosocial model of healthcare might be able to change that. Maybe you're already doing it without realizing it, in fact.

With Meerkat still taking Twitter by storm (despite Twitter's efforts to limit the app's reach) and news of Facebook's big plans for its upcoming F8 Developer Conference heating up, you may have missed some of this week's best new apps.Luckily, each weekend, we round up our favorite new and updated apps, so you won't miss out.
This week's list includes LInkedIn's job-finding app making its way to Android, a new image-editing app, Atari's new fitness-themed offering that incorporates classic games and an iOS app-launcher that tuns your notifications menu into one-touch app shortcuts.
Check out the gallery, below, to see all the apps that made our list of top picks. And if you're looking for more, take a look at our last roundup of can't-miss apps.
Atari Fit
Leave it to the folks at Atari to make a fitness app that uses Pong, Centipede and other retro classics to motivate users to lose weight. The app offers a variety of workout plans based around your fitness goals. Logging exercise earns you coins, which you can use to play Pong, Centipede and Super Breakout.
Keep an eye on: The app's social features, which allow you to join tams with friends and compete for positions on the leaderboards for the in-app games.
Pro-tip: Connect Apple's Health app and Atari Fit will pull in stats from your wearables and other fitness-tracking apps like RunKeeper.
The latest image-editing app from the same team behind Facetune, Enlight is, in many ways, an iPhone-photograher's dream app. The app manages to strike the right balance between traditional Photoshop-like controls and artistic filters and effects. Users can choose from a wide range of preset filters or manually adjust individual elements of their photos, including a sophisticated curves control.
Keep an eye on: The app's more artistic effects — like the artistic menu, which allow you to make your photos look like pop art — and the text menu allows you to add text, stickers and other additions to your images to instantly turn them into customized means.
Pro-tip: Swiping across your image adjusts the intensity of the filter and other effects. Use the masking feature to apply effects to specific portions of photos.
$3.99, iOS
While iOS doesn't allow users to customize their home screens the way their Android counterparts can with launcher apps, Launcher comes about as close as any iOS app we've seen. The app takes advantage of iOS 8's notification center widgets, to allow users to place a wide variety of app shortcuts directly in their today menu.
Keep an eye on: Customizable widgets. You can add a Twitter shortcut that opens the app on the "compose new tweet" screen to save time, for example. Upgrading to the $3.99 Pro version makes widgets even more customizable.
Pro-tip: Use the Google Maps shortcut to automatically fill in your home or work address to automatically launch the app and get directions from your current location.
Free, iOS
LinkedIn Job Seacrh
LinkedIn finally brought its job-finding app to Google Play this week. The app allows users to search through the network's many job listings and apply for positions from within the app. When you find a position you're interested in, you can easily view which of your connections also work at the company.
Keep an eye on: Notification settings — the app will alert you when a new position opens up in a field or company that interests you and will also let you know when a post is about to expire.
Pro-tip: The app's recommendations improve over time as you search for more positions and view more open listings. It also take into account the experience and skills in your profile so make sure each section of your profile is up to date.
Mr. Jump
Timing is everything in this surprisingly challenging game. The premise is simple: guide the box-headed Mr. Jump through each level without killing him on a spike or drowning him in the water. But the game is more difficult than it looks and timings is everything as more jumps doesn't guarantee you a better result.
Keep an eye on:: The stats at the end of each round show you info like how far you made it through the level and hp many attempts you've made so far.
Pro-tip: Stuck on a level (and, believe us, you will be): you can skip current level and unlock a new one with an in-app purchase. And turn up your volume for the whimsical soundtrack, which may keep your rage in check.

SRQ Magazine | January 2018
By Jacob Ogles
In Business
THE WATER ALWAYS OFFERED SARASOTA ENTREPRENEURArt Conforti an escape from his worklife, but when he finally ditched rush hour traffic and started boating to work, it changed his mindset forever. "It's like you start your day, every day, on vacation," he says. Conforti used to run Beneva Flowers, and he couldn't leave a car in the garage when he still ran the downtown floral shop. Nor could he really do that when he ran Weenies on Wheels in the city core. But now he's moved into office space on Curtis Street with his new company, digital marketing strategies firm Bloomerang Solutions, and that means he can lose the wheels and take his 28 Regal to the office. That actually ended up cutting a 35-minute commute on the Tamiami Trail into a 20-minute ride up the Intracoastal Waterway, where he may see one or two other boats in the water each morning. "Now my workday becomes just a part of the day," he says. "It's the change in frame of mind that's so important." And no one blinks an eye when they see Art with his dog serving as co-pilot.

Canine-DT (formerly Tempa Nerv) is an organic herbal supplement to aid in relief of the neurological symptoms of tremors, hard pad, and seizures caused by Canine Distemper.
Tempa Nerv is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus similar to the one that causes measles in people. Canine distemper is a multisystemic viral disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems and is often fatal.
Infected animals shed canine distemper virus in all body secretions. Inhaling the virus is the primary source of exposure. Half the dogs who become infected with canine distemper virus show mild signs of illness or no signs at all. The overall health of the dog has a lot to do with how ill he becomes.The first signs of distemper appear six to nine days after exposure, and in mild cases go unnoticed.
The distemper virus tends to attack brain cells and cells that line the surfaces of the body, including the skin, the eyes, the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, and the gastrointestinal tract. The disease takes a variety of forms. Secondary infections and complications are common, partly due to the immunosuppressive effects of the virus.

Gov. Bobby Jindal traveled to Seoul on Tuesday to meet with representatives from four South Korean companies, his office has confirmed. No further details will be released about the meetings, which come in the middle of Jindal's week-long economic development trip to East Asia.
"Some of the companies the Governor is meeting with in South Korea are large, global manufacturers and they cover various industry sectors, including advanced manufacturing and chemicals," Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin said in a Tuesday email.
He later confirmed no further details about the companies would be released "for competitive reasons." There was no mention of Jindal's visit in the Korea media as of late Tuesday morning.
On Monday, Jindal was in Taipei, Taiwan to meet with political and business leaders. His office released more information about this stop, confirming the governor met with current President Ma Ying-jeou -- where the two discussed the importance foreign investment as well as the Trans-Pacific Partnership -- and executives from the plastics firm Formosa.
Great meeting with Taiwan President Ma to talk about the shared significant economic interests between LA and Taiwan. pic.twitter.com/Cy4F2OEGS9-- Gov. Bobby Jindal (@BobbyJindal) January 13, 2014
Plotkin confirmed Tuesday that Jindal also met with two other unnamed firms during their stop in Taiwan. Two photographs of Jindal's visit in Taiwan were released Monday, one of his meeting with Formosa executives and one of him with President Ma.
The photograph of the Ma meeting, sent through the governor's Twitter account, also confirmed Jindal's wife Supriya is accompanying the delegation on this trip.
The governor confirmed during a press conference last week he would be using campaign funds to pay for his flights, but Plotkin said Tuesday Jindal would not be discussing or raising funds for his newly-founded non-profit America Next.

On Tuesday afternoon, authorities announced they had located the suspect's vehicle, as well as the male driver. He is identified as 67-year-old Robert Cheney of Robbinsville, New Jersey.
Cheney has been charged with death by auto and leaving the scene of a fatal accident and is currently being held on $100,000 bail.
The accident happened just before 6:00 p.m. Sunday.
40-year-old Billy Paskewicz of Robbinsville was struck and killed in front of a home on Robbinsville Allentown Road.
He was walking up the street to pick up a ferret - a present for his 9-year-old son.
"Billy's crossed the road millions of times," said family friend John Rimmer. "For someone to do what they did with that impact - to just leave the scene of the accident, just leave someone lying there - that's what's so upsetting to my friend Pete."
For Pete Paskewicz, the victim's father, the grief is just overwhelming. He just buried his wife two months ago. Now he is preparing to bury his son.
Neighbor Tom Van Horn heard the accident from his house. He immediately called 911.
"The body was laying about 30 feet beyond the telephone pole," he said. "When I was out there with a flashlight trying to get them to slow down so they wouldn't hit him again, they weren't even slowing down then," he said.

Writing of her secret life as a prostitute, a blogger with the pseudonym Belle de Jour had a backstory worthy of a movie script. In fact it was turned into a Showtime TV series. She wanted to have a satisfying next chapter of her life story so she wrote about it. You see, in real life, she was "a respected specialist in developmental neurotoxicology and cancer epidemiology." Few of us lead a startling double life like her yet you, too, may want to play a new role in your life story, perhaps revealing some largely hidden facets to your character…

When viewing product categories, the product containers are not very wide, which causes the text in the "Add to Cart" button to wrap to the next line.
Screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/5ZD8cgSeKW
I can't find a Product Category page template, so how do I change the width of the product container?
Or, would it be better to create a page called Product Category and have that set as the default for viewing a specific product category? If so, how do I set that up?
I am using the Alora 2.8.1 Theme in Boxed mode.
In Theme Options > WooCommerce > Woocommerce Archive/Category Sidebar, I set it as "Select an item"

You never know what discussion will be taking place but you can bet there'll be all kinds of characters there. However I have known of some serious long term relationships that have started out this way. [adult] Myhitspot -- Myhitspot is a social network and was designed as an outlet for new breakout musicians needing exposure & connections. [adult] Whos On Cams -- A new CW Adult Community for all to enjoy.
A place to sit back, relax, enjoy and have lots of fun! -- The Official European Camera Ware Site for fast download, installation and help in 10 languages. [adult] Rebel Nights -- Just a small site in the middle of Arkansas.

Cut QualityThe ideal cut diamond is a very precise mathematical equation, where diamond proportions and angles are cut to optimize the diamond's superlative optical properties, in particular it's high refractive index and color dispersion, to create a diamond of unequaled beauty with perfect balance of brilliance and fire. In layman's terms, the diamond is cut to make it the most beautiful diamond so it retains its intrinsic value.
ColorH color grade diamonds are second best in a colorless category. Most H color diamonds have a very light yellow tint that may be more noticeable when the diamond is placed on a white surface. Such diamonds look beautiful in platinum and white gold and offer outstanding value.
ClarityVS1 clarity diamonds are very slightly included grade one. VS1 diamonds are less expensive than the VVS1 or VVS2 grades and present an excellent value. They have minor inclusions that are bigger and more noticeable than in higher clarity grades, but they are only visible at 10x magnification. To the naked eye, these diamonds will appear unblemished.

The Latin-based word "reincarnation" and its antecedents in Greek, Sanskrit, Bantu, and many other languages have focused conversations in all cultures for millennia. But what do they really mean?
"Are we alone in the universe?" is the first fundamental question of conscious beings. The second question of an awakening consciousness is, "Has there been contact?" The third is, "To what effect?" This book provides answers to these questions that one can easily confirm in history, science, and human experience.
ABs, or Advanced Beings, refers to all categories of non-human, conscious entities involved in human affairs. They range from flesh-and-blood beings, "the gods who walked with men of old," to the nonphysical and invisible entities who spoke to Moses, Mohammed, Joseph Smith, and thousands of others. To ethereal voices like Seth, the Pleiadians, and others who channel messages through individuals. To the voices of prophecy. To spirit guides and higher selves, and levels of consciousness tapped by Steiner, Cayce, Tesla, Einstein and others.
Use of the term, "advanced being," does not imply that they are more advanced than humans in all respects. They have simply been experienced as having powers or technologies not available to humans. These powers may be like those of an angel who can appear and disappear instantaneously, or may involve the use of sophisticated technologies by flesh-and-blood ETs, whose spacecraft exceed current human scientific understanding. The primary focus and approach of this book is to demystify the so-called other-worldly or divine communications or beings. All such phenomena fit in our natural universe.
A MAY 2007 AMAZON.COM REVIEW: I cannot recommend this book too strongly for anyone serious about understanding both our human past and the implications of it for our current evolution of consciousness and improvement of society. I do a lot of reading in several related disciplines and this has been the single most helpful book I have read in many years. It has connected the dots in some key areas where I had yet had "blanks."
My extensive formal and personal study in Christian theology/Biblical studies, psychology, cosmology, the "paranormal," and such have led me to find that virtually every element of the author's historical reconstruction rings true. That is not to deny that some aspects of it are necessarily a bit speculative, as Von Ward would acknowledge. But the critical outline of the story is significantly in tune with the clear implications coming out of the fields mentioned, and others, particularly archaeology.
Especially helpful and on-the-money is Von Ward's explanation of how and why theology and science, via the institutions that drive them, both avoid the kind of observations he brings out. This is massively important for our society and the world. He has new conclusions I've not encountered before, but they are based on solid work by many scholars in various fields. Now, these scholars are often not in the mainstream for the very reason that the mainstream tends to avoid looking at the larger picture.
So, if you are tied to only conventional, "accepted" authorities, this book may not be convincing. Still, I'd hope you would give it a hearing, and perhaps follow up on some of the many great footnotes and bibliography, which are extensive. All readers: do take the time to look up the footnotes, even if you read them all at once as I tend to often, to avoid constant flipping back and forth--there are many gems there.
This book is so valuable, I wish there were a way to get it to be standard reading, at least in the many relevant courses in a college curriculum. It is important as a stimulator of further questioning and research, as well as in its conclusions. Besides academia, it is a must-read for all serious seekers of an understanding of where we come from and where we are going--and OUR OWN POWER to affect that. Reviewed by Howard Pepper, President of Nurture Press.
Some of the hypotheses covered in this book are:
Paul Von Ward, a thought-provoking and powerful speaker, engages his audience in a profound expansion of consciousness. He can be contacted for lectures, seminars, and workshops on a variety of related themes and topics. For more information, e-mail the author: email@example.com.
Our Solarian Legacy: Multidimensional Humans in a Self-Learning Universe takes the principles and insights from Paul Von Ward's earlier book Solarian Legacy: Metascience & A New Renaissance to the next level, revealing the purposeful nature of the universe and the Homo sapiens role in it. This new book up-dates the earlier scientific research and expands on its implications. It explains how humans can benefit from experience and, with increased awareness, choose their destiny as self-learning manifestations of universal consciousness.
"Are you ready, in the company of frontier scientists and metaphysicians, to engage in an assessment of many of society's most cherished assumptions about the history of the Earth and its human inhabitants?...If you are, I promise a dramatically reshaped perspective on the human legacy and, consequently, on your approach to daily life...."
"Profound advancements in human knowledge over the past several decades beg for a beyond-the-millennium review of what I call Our Solarian Legacy....The evidence is now clear that we are more than mere byproducts of the planet Earth. Humans are not the accidental result of a random Big Bang universe that created life "by chance." Neither are they unique creatures born in a Garden of Eden subject to the absentee parenting of an anthropomorphic (made in the image of man) god. Humans are local manifestations of a universal consciousness that informs all life. If we are not yet cosmic beings, we are at least Solarians, with a heritage in the stars. in our Solarian microcosm, I believe, humans mirror all the characteristics of a powerful self-learning organism...the universe itself...."
"When individual aspects of nature exhibit the capacity for learning from experience, as evidence indicates, we can reasonably infer that the whole organism (including humans) is engaged in a process of self-learning."
This book analyzes the current unsatisfactory situation, points to organizational and human alternatives, and suggests a process for the dethroning of bureaucracy. It calls for a new vision of the human potential in public service and a creative, joint government and citizen effort to realize in practice the self-renewing principles on which the United States was founded.
The Problem of Societal Decline
In this period of significant change in the world, what role does the federal bureaucracy play in the retardation of American social and economic progress? Why is the United States faced with a problem of serious institutional flabbiness at the beginning of its 3rd Century? (See the Introduction.)
The Bureaucratic Problematique
Why does the merit system result in mediocrity? How has the pyramidal myth of organizations led to waste and inefficiency? What is wrong with the concept of officialdom? Why do scientific management techniques result in chaos? Why is it impossible to have a public service that is independent and serves the public? (See Part I.)
From Millstone to Stepping Stone
Why have so many reorganization and reform efforts in government failed? How is it possible to get the federal government in shape to serve the country well in America's 3rd Century? What are the real causes of ineffectiveness in the federal bureaucracy? How does the definition of the problem shape the solution? (See Part II.)
Self-Correcting Institutions
Is it possible to develop public organizations that are open to the public, accountable to it, and able to adjust to the challenges of changing circumstances? How can the goal of "government by the people" be realized in our time? (See Chapter 7.)
Committees of Correspondence
How can a few people start a peaceful revolution that reshapes the nature of bureaucratic government? (See Chapter 8.)
Dismantling the Pyramid is currently out of print but is available through the interlibrary loan system. Used copies are available on Amazon.com and E-Bay.com. (ISBN 0-939202-14-X, Published by Delphi Press, Washington, DC, 1981)

Whats it about?:
"It opens in France in the 1920s, which immediately for a superhero story is a very different location. We start on a bunch of explorers kind of like that opening from 'King Kong,' which I love, and they're doing an exploration of the ancient world – these rich Americans who have put together an expedition to find something you'll hear about in the story. From those first few pages, and a doomed expedition, we cut to the present day, and they came home from that trip altered and with a plan to save the American idea. In historical context, the Russian revolution is relatively recent and Europe is in a state of turmoil and they're just on the cusp of the Wall Street Crash so they've gone on this trip to try and save America and then we cut to their utterly useless, meandering children in the present day essentially squandering their inheritance. It's not crass and celebrity focused, although it touches on that stuff. It's more Shakespearean, with the last of the old heroes, a King Lear figure, watching these teenagers and twenty-something with no altruism whatsoever. There's a massive regret in his eyes as he looks around at the world he's leaving behind, very much the world we see today with the Euro-zone collapse and industrial decline and six billion people worried about the future, he feels the children and grand-children of he and his friends just aren't up to the job. But this is just the starting point. This is like saying that Star Wars is about Darth Vader boarding a ship and kidnapping the Princess. This is the first eight or ten pages and we just run with it from here."
"You've got the financial, and America losing power and influence to China, of course, but at the same time, there are massive internal problems in China with social engineering being just one of them. Over the last generation, there have been too many males born, so you're looking towards a massive social collapse over there. Huge unrest within the next decade. The Arab world is obviously in chaos and we have the European problems and the governments of the world asking these new, young heroes to help. But they can't. Half of them can barely read a book. Adamantium claws doesn't mean you know the specific pros and cons of quantative easing. But like I said, this is the backdrop where the adventure takes places. It's a huge, grand operatic piece that runs for ten issues and does super-heroics on a scale I've never even tried in something like 'The Ultimates.'"
The concept sounds so Universe large!
"Social critics don't mean a thing to me. It's really easy to ignore them, because I believe in what I'm doing 100 percent. So any naysayers for the public good can just buzz off. They might be a drag for a moment, but after that moment is over, it always ends up being gasoline to my fire." - Quentin Tarantino

The National Zoo's giant panda cub, Tai Shan, didn't just happen -- he was brought to you by scientists who spent years studying the intimate details of black-and-white bear biology before they mastered artificial insemination.
A recent surge in giant panda science is helping zoos get more animals pregnant, diagnose when they are expecting and put to rest the long-held belief that pandas are poor breeders. The research is producing insights into how pandas communicate, how mothers raise their young and how the animals look for food.
The ultimate goal is to increase the giant panda's chances in the wilds of China, where only about 1,600 remain, threatened mainly by the loss of bamboo forests to logging and development. Scientists are studying the panda's basic survival needs and are trying to build up the number of captive animals so that some could be set loose in potential panda territory.
Money for the studies has come largely from the four U.S. zoos that have giant pandas -- including the National Zoo, where Tai Shan goes on public display today.
"I am not sure we know of any endangered species where we have this amount of information," said National Zoo senior scientist David Wildt.
In a recent interview, a high-ranking Chinese wildlife official, Yan Xun, underscored the cooperation between U.S. and Chinese scientists: "We have achieved a lot of accomplishments," he said.
Tai Shan's birth in July was the result of years of research efforts. Many experts believed that giant pandas were poor breeders because they seldom got pregnant in zoos and because females are fertile only two or three days a year. But that idea crumbled after U.S. and Chinese scientists examined dozens of captive pandas in the late 1990s and found most biologically fit to breed.
"We have every reason to believe that pandas in the wild are doing all right as far as opportunities for pregnancy are concerned," said Donald G. Lindburg, head of the giant panda team at the San Diego Zoo, where three cubs have been born. "This is more of a captive phenomenon."
Artificial insemination is one way around the obstacle of persuading pandas to breed naturally. National Zoo scientists have been working since the 1980s on monitoring hormone changes to tell whether a female is fertile. Scientists there and at other zoos ramped up the research in the late 1990s, when China began lending panda pairs to U.S. animal parks.
National Zoo keepers trained their female, Mei Xiang, to sit still for medical tests. Scientists created a mobile lab to track hormone changes in her urine and improved testing to get results faster. They watched for behavioral changes that indicated she was ready.
"Short of crawling inside her abdomen," reproductive scientist JoGayle Howard said, "I don't think you can get any better timing."
Zoo scientists hoped that Mei Xiang and the male panda, Tian Tian, would mate naturally last spring, but when that did not happen, they stepped in as the female's short window of fertility was about to close. Howard e-mailed regular updates of Mei Xiang's test results to San Diego Zoo scientists, who suggested a specific time to perform artificial insemination.
With Mei Xiang under anesthesia the morning of March 11, Howard employed a tiny laparoscope with a light to perform the procedure, the first time that particular type of instrument was used on a giant panda.
"It's remarkable," Lindburg said. "They had one vial; they had enough sperm for one insemination. They had a single event, and they nailed it."
Zoo managers would prefer that pandas breed on their own, and one line of research is trying to foster that. A major discovery is that pandas get to know each other through their noses. A male panda can tell whether a female is in heat by sniffing her urine or the scent marks she leaves behind. Each panda has an individual scent.
In the past, zoos raised males and females separately, putting them together only for mating. Often, that resulted in fights, not cubs. "When animals are introduced for breeding, they need time to become familiar with each other, scent-wise, before they are put together," said Rebecca J. Snyder, curator of giant panda research at Zoo Atlanta.
So Chinese zoos often keep several young pandas together so they can get to know each other as they grow up. The zoos also let breeding-age animals sniff each other's scent before meeting. Some scientists think this research suggests that if giant pandas were reintroduced in the wild, their chances would improve if their scent were spread around their new territory beforehand, staking their claim.
Scientists also have studied panda personality. Former National Zoo researcher David Powell, now at the Bronx Zoo, developed an exam intended to give zoos rapid assessments of how to care for new animals. He tested 38 pandas in China to measure their general activity, along with their level of interest in a new toy.
"That will tell you right away this animal adjusts well to change, or I have to be quiet around this animal," Powell said. "We've made a lot of progress in behavior management and husbandry."
Long range, some zoo scientists think the personality test could help them improve panda breeding -- they could, for example, provide hiding places for a shy female that might be reluctant to mate.
Zoos still haven't solved the mystery of knowing when a giant panda is expecting. It was not until Mei Xiang gave birth that the National Zoo knew for sure that she was pregnant. Scientists would like a definitive pregnancy test so they can reduce stress on animals that might lead them to abandon their young, which weigh only a quarter-pound at birth.
Hormone tests still cannot detect the difference between a real pregnancy and the common false pregnancy in pandas. Ultrasound is promising, but some pandas won't sit still for it. San Diego scientists are experimenting with a technique called thermal imaging, measuring whether a mother's blood flow is increasing, which is one sign of a developing embryo.
"We're still doing very basic work with the giant panda," said National Zoo research veterinarian Steve Monfort. "We still have a long way to go."
Snyder, the Atlanta scientist, has looked at how mothers raise their young, finding that they hold their tiny infants 80 percent of the time during the crucial first three months. Males and females are raised differently, she concluded. And, so far, she has found little difference in mothering style between experienced and new mothers.
Other studies focus on how pandas look for food and what they like to eat. Bamboo is their main diet, and they spend much of the day eating because bamboo has so little nutrition that they need a lot of it. The Memphis Zoo is assembling a bamboo database of hundreds of samples and analyzing their nutritional value. The zoo also tested a variety of bamboo on its two pandas, hoping to offer guidance to wildlife managers scouting for places in which to reintroduce pandas to the wild.
"They switch bamboo species through the year and switch the parts they eat -- sometimes leaves and sometimes stalks," said Matthew Thompson, the zoo's large mammal curator. "In the spring, they like to eat shoots."
Most giant panda studies have been done on zoo animals, and the next frontier will be tracking the elusive animals in the wild. Chinese officials have been reluctant to allow giant pandas to be fitted with radio collars that would make it easier to track them.
"A very big question for all of us is whether or not the information we've gleaned from watching animals in captivity echoes what is going on in the wild," San Diego's Lindburg said.
But giant panda research has had another payoff. U.S. zoo scientists have trained dozens of their Chinese counterparts to test hormones, map panda territory on computers and learn other wildlife skills. National Zoo reproductive scientist Howard hopes that cheetahs, maned wolves and other rare species could benefit from the artificial insemination device she developed for Mei Xiang. Her colleague Monfort said zoos are developing hormone measurement tests for other types of animals, modeled on the giant panda work.
"We've got a lot of ideas now that we're ready to try on other species," Howard said.

4 Tips for Getting More Likes on Instagram
Whether you're a professional photographer or just someone who likes sharing snapshots of your journey with the world, Instagram is quickly becoming the best place to do that. And who can deny the small amount of satisfaction you get every time you see that heart icon pop up, letting you know one more person has liked your post? Follow these tips to maximize the amount of hearts for your next photo.
Everyone is capable of finding a flattering angle and applying a filter to add just the right amount of sun-kissed glow. Take your selfies to the next level by creating a self-portrait instead. Look for unusual walls or murals that can be an interesting backdrop. Even the most mundane places can become interesting if you stage it correctly. And then use a timer function available on many cameras and camera apps or have a friend step in as the photographer.
You don't have to be a professional photographer to understand the basic principles of composition and how to make them work for you. For instance, make sure to always fill the frame. This means making sure you're zoomed in enough on whatever you're taking a picture of so you don't leave too much empty space, which can be distracting to your audience. If your camera's zoom isn't great, move closer!
Instagram recently added much more elaborate editing options, such as the ability to adjust how much of a filter to apply. These new features allow you to make a subtle change to any image that needs a slight tweak. They also allow you to layer multiple edits to create something completely different from the original image. Play around with different levels and see what a difference it makes. If you need to go back and adjust something, but you're not sure which tool you already adjusted, just look for the gray lines under the edits you've made.
Make your profile public. This opens up your possible viewership to anyone in the world who has Instagram. It also gives you a chance to be included in Instagram's new Discover feature, an aggregate of different photos from around the world that Instagram thinks people might be interested in. Make the most of this feature by putting your best work out there and attracting new followers and people who will click that heart button!

Waynesburg, PA Area Scholarships
Waynesburg is a borough in and the county seat of Greene County, Pennsylvania, United States, 60 miles (97 km) southwest of Pittsburgh. The population was 4,184 at the 2000 census.
The region is underlaid with several strata of coking coal, including the Pittsburgh No. 8 seam, the Waynesburg seam and the Sewickley, or Mapletown seam. The area is also rich with coalbed methane, which is currently being developed from the several underlying coal seams as an alternative fuel source. At one time, there were also natural gas and oil deposits in the area. The Marcellus Shale, the largest domestic natural gas reserve, is currently being developed in Waynesburg and throughout Greene County. Early in the twentieth century, four large gas compressing stations and a shovel factory were located in Waynesburg. It is named after General "Mad" Anthony Wayne who served with George Washington in the Revolutionary War.
Waynesburg is home to Waynesburg University and to Greene County Airport.

"Our ecstasy in dance comes from the possible gift of freedom, the exhilarating moment that this exposing of the bare energy can give us," said Cunningham in 1952.
Choreographer Merce Cunningham Comes to Orange County for a One-Night Stand
"Bette Viner was lucky enough to be invited to visit the harem of a local Amir when she was living in Aden in the mid-1960s with her brigadier husband. ... But with very few words of common language between them conversation was difficult, and the encounter grew stilted. It was then that Mrs Viner's American friend Olga came to the rescue.
"'She shot to her feet saying, "Gee, I reckon they like to dance." She executed a few gay little steps in the middle of a large Persian rug and fortunately they got the message almost at once. One of the women ducked under an old brass bedstead at the far end of the room and produced an old gramophone with an enormous horn, also some Arabian and Hungarian (Heaven knows how they came to be there) records. Olga jived energetically and was rewarded with a belly dance from an immensely fat servant. I was called upon to perform a short ballet sequence and a young concubine retaliated with a passage from a sinuously seductive looking tribal dance. Our British lady friend flatly refused to make a fool of herself as a solo turn but did condescend to lead a conga round the harem. Everyone joined in except the Amir's wife who remained faithful to her tea kettle, but she smiled happily on us all. The women quickly found out how it was done and shouted and laughed and turned the music up louder and louder. When it was finally time to go the Amir's wife gave us each a gourd of local honey. Our Arab driver, waiting at a distance of about 100 yards, was grinning from ear to ear when he saw us and I realised with horror that the noise we had made must have burst through the slits in the walls in the harem and resounded across the desert.... when I met the Amir a few days later, and he told me that his family had enjoyed our visit very much indeed....'"
—Annabel Venning, Following the Drum: The Lives of Army Wives and Daughters Past and Present (London: Headline, 2005), 196–197
Interesting usage (to me, anyway) on nomos.
"Dances of any sort were rarely held, and social events seemed to revolve around the vigorous manipulation of vegetable matter—there were flax pullings, wood choppings, apple parings, pumpkin cuttings, and corn huskings. 'Courtin' or keepin' company was an informal proceeding and a universal custom,' Jesse Birch writes in History of Benton County and Historic Oxford, 'yet a flirt was soon found out and given the mitten.'"

Author Notes: Creamy, surprisingly simple and seriously decadent! —TheGirlyGirlCooks
Serves: 4
teaspoon Unflavored Gelatin Powder
tablespoons Cold Water
cups Heavy Cream
tablespoons White Granulated Sugar
cup Vanilla Bean Yogurt
tablespoon Vanilla Bean Paste
pint fresh Strawberries-sliced
tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
teaspoons White Granulated Sugar
- In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tsp of gelatin powder onto 1-1/2 tbsp cold water. Stir to combine and set aside until dissolved, 10 minutes.
- In a bowl, stir to combine 3/4 cup heavy cream, yogurt, and vanilla bean paste. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream with the 6 tbsp of sugar. Bring the cream to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and add in the gelatin from the small bowl and stir to incorporate and dissolve.
- Pour the hot cream mixture into the cold cream-yogurt mixture and stir to combine. Pour evenly into 4 small ramekins and place in the refrigerator to chill. Once chilled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- 1 hour before serving the dessert, slice 1 pint of strawberries and place them in a bowl. Combine the strawberries with 1 tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar and 1-1/2 tsp of sugar. Gently stir to combine so that the strawberries soak up all the juices and flavors.
- When you are ready to serve, run a butter knife around each dessert in the ramekin and dip the bottom of ramekin into a bowl of hot water. This will loosen the panna cotta from the ramekin and allow it to easy release. Invert each ramkin onto small individual serving plates. The panna cotta should easily release onto the plate, but you may have to help it out and jiggle a little bit. Surround the panna cotta with the balsamic glazed strawberries and serve!

(Photo of Pei Lee's costume design by Stan Barouh. This salon is led by TCG's Diversity & Inclusion Online Curator Jacqueline E. Lawton, and features interviews with and essays from theatre people working within the Asian American theatre movement. To participate in this or any other TCG Circle salon, please email Gus Schulenburg.)
Diversity & Inclusion Initiative blog salon–Asian American Theatre
JACQUELINE LAWTON: First, tell me about the work you do as a theatre artist or administrator.
PEI LEE: I work with costumes. I have a degree in Costume Design but as a freelance designer, nowadays, you are pretty much a one-person team. The idea of solely designing and having other people do all the work sounds so glamorous and unreal to me.
JL: How do you identify in terms of race, ethnicity, culture, and heritage? How has this identity influenced the work that you do?
PL: I was born in Taipei, Taiwan to parents who fled from China in the 1940s. I suppose officially I am a Taiwanese but since I've only lived there 6 years (discontinuously) I simply identify myself as Chinese. I spent my childhood in Spain and my teenage years in Chile and Brazil (each time returning to Taipei). I came to the USA as an undergraduate and have stayed here since. These are the facts that are easy to respond. The next part of the question will be difficult to put into words so excuse my inarticulate reply.
Because of my upbringing, I do not identify strongly with a single culture; instead I have great empathy to the ones I've experienced. Often, I find myself a walking contradiction – home is where my parents are (currently Taiwan) yet I feel most comfortable, or at home, in the USA. I am a Chinese amongst Westerners and a Westerner amongst Chinese. And 'heritage' is a word I am never sure how it is defined- through birthright or the length of time one spent in a specific culture? To me, these questions do not come with one-word answers. Sometimes I wish they do but most of the time I am grateful for the experiences (even the unpleasant ones – being a new kid in school over and over were never fun) because I truly believed that being exposed to differences all my life has allowed me to understand the characters in plays that I work on in an instinctual way.
JL: How has this identity impacted your ability to work in the American Theatre? Have certain opportunities been made available to you owing to "who" you are? Have certain doors been closed to you?
PL: I never correlated my opportunities with my identity. I've always thought that I got the job because they liked my work. Although having seen parts of the world growing up do give one a unique perspective but anyone can expose themselves to see more of the world, it does not have to do with the colour of the skin.
I have not yet encountered obstacles due to my race because I think designers are never seen by the audience which is why, unlike actors, our opportunities are not bound by our looks. Detailed research and the right sensibility are all we need. And that should go for the actors as well.
JL: Do we need racial, ethnic and gender based culturally specific theaters? What is gained by having stories of a certain community told by artists of that community?
PL: I stumbled into theatre when I was a junior in college. Until then, I was not exposed to this world. But I came to love it for its fierce display of creativity – the suspension of disbelief. The idea that anyone can be anything on that stage is still the most powerful and irreplaceable tool the theatre has over any other visual medium. I would like to see more racial, ethnic, and gender based theaters but not necessarily culturally specific. To me, a Chinese story told by Chinese artists is boring and tend to feel like a lecture. I much rather see Westerners tackle an Asian tale, respectfully, and vice-versa.
JL: What is the current state of Asian American Theatre? (This can address recent offences and/or great accomplishments.)
PL: My ignorance on this subject either proves that I need to go out and see more theatre or that the current state of Asian American Theatre is so mild and small that I have been unaware. Not surprising at the latter since Asian cultures are academic-oriented and creative professions are not look upon favourably. But, lately, I have witness a change back in Taiwan – more and more people are consciously choosing to be professionally creative. So ask me again in five years.
JL: What can theatres do to better serve a larger and more inclusive community?
PL: I think most theaters are trying to do their best on this regard. I know they see the need to expand and diversify. But these are just ideas and talks until they have better financial support. Developing ideas without proper funding is a waste of energy.
Pei Lee started her professional career managing the costume shop at the Olney Theatre in Maryland. She later demoted herself in order to have more opportunities to design and to work with her hands by creating beautiful things (and because of the frustration at her inability to master the Excel). Currently she freelances in the MD/DC area (with frequent visits back to the Olney Theatre which she fondly thinks of as her home away from home) and splits her time between the USA and Taiwan.
She holds a BA from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a MFA from University of Connecticut.
Jacqueline E. Lawton received her MFA in Playwriting from the University of Texas at Austin, where she was a James A. Michener fellow. Her plays include Anna K; Blood-bound and Tongue-tied; Deep Belly Beautiful; The Devil's Sweet Water; The Hampton Years; Ira Aldridge: Love Brothers Serenade, Mad Breed and Our Man Beverly Snow. She has received commissions from Active Cultures Theater, Discovery Theater, National Portrait Gallery, National Museum of American History, Round House Theatre and Theater J. A 2012 TCG Young Leaders of Color, she has been nominated for the Wendy Wasserstein Prize and a PONY Fellowship from the Lark New Play Development Center. She resides in Washington DC and is a member of Arena Stage's Playwrights' Arena. jacquelinelawton.com

|Addiction Industry Lobbying: Centers are More Active, Getting Results
|July 2006
When you talk to Chris Crosby about managed care, it quickly becomes apparent that you're talking to a man on a mission: "The whole way managed care approaches addiction treatment is a travesty," says Crosby, who, as CEO of South Florida-based Watershed Treatment Programs, runs one of the nation's largest and fastest growing treatment operations. "The payors wouldn't dream of denying coverage to someone with diabetes who has, yet again, ignored the advice of doctors about diet and exercise and wound up, yet again, in the hospital. But if an alcoholic seeks help repeatedly, that's somehow less worthy? The situation our industry finds itself in with respect to the payors is absurd and wrong, and it needs to change."

Coming from the future.
written by Josh, December 13, 2016
I just discovered this story, but it still holds true. There are even more people addicted to drugs in the future and treatment facilities have proven to be effective, though not perfect. Hopefully the future can bring us even more effective treatment.
