New York police said Wednesday that two anonymous letters sent to Mayor Michael Bloomberg contained traces of the deadly poison ricin.
One letter was opened Friday in New York at the city's mail facility, and the other Sunday in Washington at the headquarters of the nonprofit started by Bloomberg, Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Both were addressed to Bloomberg and contained threats referring to the gun debate, the police said.
Preliminary testing indicated the presence of ricin, they said, adding that civilian staff who came into contact with the letters were not showing any symptoms, but some officers who later examined the one in New York were.


text: Home > Medical > Leg Vein Health > Overview Updated 15 February 2016 Deep vein thrombosis Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potentially life-threatening condition where a blood clot forms in deep-lying veins, often in the legs. 0 Blausen.com/Creative Commons 3.0 Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot, or thrombus, forms in deep-lying veins, usually in the larger lower veins of the legs. If the clot is large, it may interfere with circulation of the area and block blood flow from the legs back to the heart. A piece of the clot (embolus) may break off and be carried through the bloodstream. The embolus can lodge in the lungs, blocking the blood flow and causing severe damage. A pulmonary embolus (a blood clot that travels to the lungs and blocks a lung vessel) can be fatal.Unlike the deep veins, which are located inside the leg tissues and cannot be seen, varicose veins (enlarged veins on the legs) are superficial, located just under the surface of the skin. Although clots can develop in superficial veins, they are not usually dangerous although they are frequently tender.CausesDVT may occur when the blood pools in the deep veins in your legs, when there is some factor that makes your blood more likely to clot or when there is damage to the vein wall. The blood will pool if the flow is interrupted. This may happen because there is compression of the vessel so the vein is narrower, or if the normal 'muscle pump' of the leg is not pumping blood back to the heart.For example, when you are bedridden (after surgery) or when you sit still for prolonged periods (such as during a long aeroplane flight) your blood tends to pool. Blood pools in the larger veins of your legs and clots may form. Injury, certain kinds of major illness and some medications also increase the tendency for blood to clot. (See risk factors below)Deep-vein thrombosis occurs in approximately two out of 1 000 people and is most commonly seen in adults over age 60. Conditions and circumstances that increase your risk of developing DVT include:Recent surgery or trauma, especially hip, leg or knee surgery; gynaecological surgery or heart surgery. Hip and knee surgery may lead to damage of the vessel wall as well as immobility.Fractures of the hip, femur (thigh bone) or lower legBeing bedridden or in a wheelchairStrokeHeart failure, as the blood flow back to the heart is slower than normalHeart attackCancerous tumours may compress the vein if they are big or may secrete a substance that makes the blood more likely to clotPregnancy, using oral contraceptives or taking oestrogenOlder age (over 60)Previous DVTChildbirth within the previous six monthsObesityBlood disorders that result in increased tendency of the blood to clot (hypercoagulability) for example antiphospholipid syndrome or atithrombin III deficiency. Polycythemia vera (a disease in which there is an excess of red blood cells) is another disorder that increases risk.SmokingSymptoms and signsAbout half of people with deep-vein thrombosis have no symptoms until a clot blocks a major vein. Symptoms typically occur in one leg only and may include:Swelling in the calf, ankle, foot or thighIncreased warmth of the legTendernessPain which is usually located in the calf or behind the knee and may worsen on standing or walking. Resting with the affected leg raised often relieves the pain.Leg cramps at nightThe affected skin may be slightly redder than normal. If there is a bluish tinge it means there is a major blockage and the patient should seek medical help immediatelyJoint painPositive Homan's sign is when you experience sharp pain in your calf when your foot is flexed upward with your knee slightly bent. This may be an early sign of DVT in the calf.Slightly elevated temperature (37.5C)Similar conditionsCellulitis. This is an infection of the soft tissue which is caused by a bacteria and needs antibiotics. The skin is usually warm and you may have a temperature.Superficial vein thrombosis.Injury to the leg.DiagnosisYour doctor will take your medical history and perform a physical examination. However, further tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis of deep-vein thrombosis because the symptoms are often similar to those of other conditions. Common tests include:Duplex doppler. This is a combination of ultrasound (which uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the leg veins) and a flow 'probe' which shows the direction of the flow of the blood in the veins. This combination will show any blockage in the veins.Contrast venography. This involves injecting a substance into the veins that shows up on X-ray.Blood clots are sometimes discovered on performing a CT (computerised tomography) scan of the pelvis.A sample of your blood may also be sent to the laboratory to test for conditions that cause increased blood clotting tendency.TreatmentHospitalisationTreatment usually requires hospitalisation and bedrest, at least initially. However, prolonged sitting in one position is to be avoided.A combination of heparin and warfarin (anticoagulants which 'thin' the blood in order to prevent further clots) is used at first. The heparin helps the warfarin to start working. The heparin starts working within a few hours but has to be injected. It used to be given by drip but is now injected into the fat once a day. Regular blood tests tell your doctor when these drugs are working correctly.Once the drugs have started to work, the heparin is stopped and the warfarin is continued on its own. This is usually continued for up to six months. Regular blood tests are used to indicate the correct dose of warfarin.This treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms and preventing the clot from embolising to other areas of the body such as the lungs, heart or brain.If the clot is so big it means that the survival of the leg is in doubt, you may be given thrombolytic agents. These are drugs that are injected into the blood to break down the blood clot. As they can cause unwanted bleeding, they are not used routinely.Leg compression devices are often used to prevent DVT while you are in hospital. The leg may be elevated to reduce swelling. Warm, moist heat can be applied to the affected area to relieve pain.In rare cases, the clot may need to be surgically removed.Post-hospitalisationAfter you are discharged from hospital, you will continue to take oral anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications for some time. You usually need to take warfarin for at least six months after you develop DVT. People who have a tendency to form blood clots more easily than others may have to take anticoagulants for the rest of their lives. Warm compresses may also be continued. It is important to avoid prolonged sitting or standing in one position. It is vital to go for regular blood checks while you are on these drugs to ensure your blood doesn't become too thin.OutcomeMost deep-vein clots resolve without difficulty. However, the complications that may occur are life- threatening and include:Pulmonary embolusThe deep veins in the leg may become scarred after a blood clot. This means they may close and the blood is forced to flow back to the heart through the superficial veins. The superficial veins on the leg may become dilated (varicose veins) or the skin may become ulcerated (venous ulcer).Certain types of cancer predispose to deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolus. This is probably because even a small tumour can make blood clot more easily. Occasionally the tumour may cause compression of the vein which causes the blood to pool in the leg. A blood clot, particularly if it is in a strange part of the body such as the arm, can sometimes be the first sign of cancer. However, most DVT is not related to cancer.PreventionGeneral health measures (taking regular exercise, giving up smoking and controlling your weight) can help lower your overall risk for deep-vein thrombosis.For people who have had DVT or are at risk of developing of DVT, the following prevention measures are recommended:Avoid prolonged bedrest or immobility of the legs. Leg exercises help to prevent pooling of blood in the legs. Walking as soon as possible after surgery will help lower your risk of DVT. If you are unable to exercise, your caregiver should massage your legs and perform passive exercises on them within their range of motion.Ask your doctor or pharmacist about special supportive elastic stockings. Ensure the stockings fit smoothly and firmly but are not too tight in any one area as this can block blood flow. Remove them once a day to wash them and to check the skin for discoloration or irritation.Keep your legs elevated when you are lying or sitting down to promote the return of blood through the leg veins.Similar anticoagulant medications used to treat DVT can also be used as a preventive measure in people with a high risk of developing the condition. If you use anticoagulants:Take the correct amount of medication at the right time each day.Regular blood tests will be needed to monitor how fast your blood clots. Follow instructions as to when to have these tests.Wear a Medic-Alert bracelet showing which drugs you are taking.Consult your doctor before taking any new medications, including non-prescription drugs. Most medicines and all antibiotics can interfere with the effects of anticoagulants.Avoid aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen, unless specifically prescribed by your doctor. Adding aspirin to anticlotting drugs can increase the risk of bleeding.Tell your other health care providers, such as your dentist, that you are taking anticoagulants.Call your doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms: faintnessdizzinesssevere headachessevere stomach painincreased weaknessred or brown urinebruises that increase in size without further injuryred or black bowel movementscuts that do not stop bleedingcoughing up bloodany unusual or unexplained bleeding.When to call the doctorCall your doctor if you experience symptoms that suggest deep-vein thrombosis (see symptoms and signs).If a person with DVT shows severe symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting or loss of consciousness, go to an emergency room or call the local emergency number.Reviewed by Dr K.

Georgia kept it close most of the first half against top-ranked Kentucky.
Then, just like that, the game got away from the Bulldogs.
Darius Miller came off the bench to score 19 points and the Wildcats pulled away just before halftime, cruising to a 57-44 victory over Georgia on Tuesday night despite their lowest-scoring game of the season.
Led by Nemanja Djurisic's 10 first-half points, the Bulldogs (10-10, 1-5 Southeastern Conference) showed no fear early on against a Kentucky team playing its first game since moving back to the top of the rankings. Georgia withstood a 10-0 run by the Wildcats and trailed only 23-22 with less than 6 minutes to go in the period.
Suddenly, the Wildcats (20-1, 6-0) turned it on. Kyle Wiltjer knocked down a 3-pointer, then passed to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for a dunk. Dustin Ware answered for the home team with a 3-pointer, but that jumper with 5:01 remaining was Georgia's final field goal of the half.
Kentucky finished the half with a 10-1 spurt, as Miller scored seven straight on a 3-pointer and two jumpers from inside the arc. After that, the Wildcats' 12th straight win was a formality, even though they scored only 19 points in the second half.
"We had a burp there on defense late in the first half," Georgia coach Mark Fox said. "We were never able to get back in striking distance after that. It was a costly time period, but Kentucky is a terrific team. Their defense is just so good."
Fox said the Bulldogs simply couldn't cope with a team that has the 6-foot-8 Miller at guard and 6-7 Kidd-Gilchrist playing small forward.
"Their length in their size just overpowers you," he said. "When your 2 guard is as big as Miller is, then you have Kidd-Gilchrist at the 3 — and those guys are the size of power forwards — they can just overpower you."
Miller, who had started eight of the previous nine games for Kentucky, returned to the sixth-man role he had played earlier in the season. It didn't really matter. The senior made 7 of 8 shots, including all four from 3-point range.
Good thing he did.
Kidd-Gilchrist, with 14 points, was the only other Kentucky player in double figures. The Wildcats' lowest-scoring game before Tuesday was a 62-52 victory over Old Dominion in November.
"I know there are times I have to step up," Miller said. "We have different leaders. We all understand that. We're happy with that. Tonight, the guys were looking for me because they knew I was hitting."
No one was hitting in the second half. Kentucky went more than 5 minutes without scoring and made just 7 of 23 shots over the final 20 minutes. Needless to say, coach John Calipari knows there are plenty of things his team can improve on before its next game Saturday at LSU.
"We're just into our own thing right now and you can't be a special team and be that way," he said. "The biggest thing is let's step this thing up. Last year's team, I couldn't believe we were as good as were so I didn't have to say a whole lot. This year's team, we could be really special and we're not right now."
Kentucky, which had been No. 1 in The Associated Press rankings for two weeks early in the season, returned to the lead spot after Syracuse lost last weekend. They arrived in Athens to face rebuilding Georgia, which has lost five of its last six but did start out with some inspired play before its first home sellout of the season.
"Everybody got up for this game, and we kind of rode that at the beginning," Georgia's Gerald Robinson said.
It didn't last. Not with Georgia's top two scorers having miserable nights. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was 3 of 11 from the field and finished with seven points — less than half his 14.7 average. Robinson, averaging 13.8, settled for six points on 3-of-14 shooting.
"We fought hard," Ware said, "but we just couldn't get it done."
Down by 12 points at halftime, the Bulldogs staggered toward their tunnel with heads down, knowing they had given Kentucky their best shot and still faced a double-digit deficit.
Even though the shots didn't fall in the second half, the Wildcats never let up on the boards or at the defensive end. Kentucky finished with a commanding 41-26 rebounding edge and held Georgia to just 35 percent shooting (19 of 55).
Kidd-Gilchrist had a double-double, pulling down 11 rebounds. Anthony Davis also had 11 rebounds.
Ware led Georgia with 12 points. Djurisic failed to score in the second half.
After the break, neither team seemed to play with as much fire — maybe because so many shots clanked off the rim — and the crowd amused itself with dueling chants of "Go Big Blue!" vs. "U-G-A!" There certainly wasn't much to cheer about on the court, with Kentucky appearing to play down to its competition and Georgia never getting closer than 10.
Since their only loss, a 73-72 setback to Indiana on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer, the Wildcats have won by an average of 17.3 points.
Not good enough, according to Calipari.
"I'm happy we won," he said. "But I want us to be even better."

Screen shots of Apple Music for Android have been revealed for the first time, giving Android phone-owners their first glimpse of what to expect from the music streaming service.
By and large, the platform looks similar to the native version found on iOS. However, Apple has ensured it sticks to Google–style app design by including a slide–out sidebar for navigation, as well as using Google's preferred font for apps.
The Android–based service includes many of the same features found on iOS. That means access to Apple's full streaming catalogue, Beats 1 radio, recommended playlists and the Apple Music Connect social network.
What's more, Apple has even gone so far as to offer those who want to offline tracks the chance to change the size of the cache.
That means users won't gobble up storage space without being aware of how much has been taken up.
There's not a specific launch date for Apple Music for Android yet. But with Apple promising it would launch this autumn, expect to get official word very soon.

Heat transfer analysis with nanofluids in a closed two-phase thermosyphon loop

This report is concerned about the comparative analysis of the boiling heat transfer behavior of different refrigerants and nanofluids. The experimental apparatus was a thermosyphon loop with an evaporator composed of five vertical boiling channels heated by cartridge heaters. In the first part, experiments in boiling heat transfer were done for three different refrigerants: n-pentane, R-134a and isobutane. For all tests, saturation temperature was fixed at 16 ºC and a wide range of heat fluxes were applied in order to calculate the heat transfer coefficient for each case. Once the experimental results were analyzed, a comparative discussion was developed based on their thermal properties. In the second part, nanofluids with n-pentane and 1.0 vol. % of carbon nanotubes (CNT) were prepared following the two-step method. Although CNT stable suspension was not achieved, it was run in the rig with the same conditions as the pure n-pentane test. The results showed that non-dispersed CNT decreased nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficient down to 20.5% at 120W. The main predicted reasons of this decreasing were the low interaction between CNT and n-pentane and the proximity between CNT average size and surface roughness, which promoted the coverage of the nucleate cavities. However, an increase of approximately 25% in the critical heat flux was registered with the n-pentane nanofluid. Furthermore, fouling on the boiling wall surfaces was observed after the nanofluid test, which was monitored in SEM. An attempt to improve CNT dispersion was performed with the addition of oleylamine, although it was not successful. Optimum suspension of CNT should be further examined to get a noticeable enhancement in nucleate boiling heat transfer, and some suggested procedures are detailed to improve such CNT dispersion.

(Octodon degus)
Facts about this animal
The degu is is a endemic rodent from Chile, stout-bodied, rat-sized rodent with the tail shorter than the head and body. Head-body length ranges from 17-21 cm, the tail from 8-14 cm, and the body-weight from 170-260 g.
The degu's front legs are shorter than its back legs and the ears are quite large. They coat is long and silky, grey-brown tinged with orange on the back and creamy yellow to white on the belly.
The degu is a seasonal breeder with a birth season between September and December. After a gestation period of 87-90 days, the female gives birth to a litter of 3 to 8 young weighinhg 14 g. The offspring is weaned at 5-6 weeks.
The diet of degus consists of grass and other green vegetation, bark, seeds and fruit. Degu's feed on the ground, but will climb into the branches of shrubs and small trees. They are active during the day and all year round. They construct an elaborate, communal burrow system and live together in small colonies.
Did you know?
That degus have an interesting way of escaping predators? If the tail is caught, a degu may spin until the skin comes loose.

Loveee my dress! love the price! love the shipping time!!!
I felt so frustrated when and I was looking for my wedding dress because I went to many bridal stores and the prices were sooo over budget and finding this website was an oasis in the middle of the desert. I did my research because just like you I had my doubts and fears of ordering my dress online and I found out this is a very trusted website so I ordered it and when I got it I was more than pleased with my purchase, the dress looks exactly like this photo. I had to put more invisible pins on the back of the dress so it would be easier to put it on the my day.
My wedding was a the beach and the design of this dress was perfect and It is very comfy. My best advise before ordering a wedding dress is to know your measurements, because I visited so many bridal stores I learned about fabrics and measurements so I knew what I was ordering. so get yourself informed about those details before you buy anything online.
I'm an online shopper and I almost never (I never) leave reviews on the items I buy but this dress I feel I have to. I know how expensive a wedding dress can be and how frustrated could be seeing the dress you want but you are just not sure about spending money on a webpage you don't know. I am telling you based on my experience I am very pleased with my dress.
Thank you JJSHGOUSE!!!!

The practice of gold leafing dates back thousands of years. It consists of genuine gold that has been pounded into extremely thin foil or flakes and applied to items made of wood or metal. It is then "burnished" in order to produce an authentic, aged effect.
Gold leaf can be applied using two different methods: water gilding and oil gilding. Only gold leaf applied through water gilding can be burnished.
Gold leafing measures 1/250,000th of an inch thick. A "burnisher" is a smooth stone shaped like a dog's tooth on a wooden handle.
The surface is thoroughly sanded and coated with a protein binder (rabbit skin glue) and "gesso," a white plaster-like material that acts as a filler. "Clay bole," a substance containing hydrous aluminum silicate, is mixed with equal parts water and glue and applied in several coats.
The gilder's "liquor" (water, alcohol and glue) is used to dampen the surface, the gold leaf is applied with the tip of a sable brush and polished with a burnisher to create a high luster. Gold leaf left unburnished provides a contrasting satin finish.
Long ago, gold-leafed items were fully burnished to maximize their reflective brilliance, but in more modern times tastes have changed, favoring an authentic antique appearance.

Review: Chocolate Almond Coconut Milk Protein Superfood Smoothie
Posted: Mar 07, 2012 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Mar 13, 2012 at 1:15 PM)As far as the Sambazon line goes, this is probably the best there is (aside from perhaps their flagship acai flavor). The product literally tastes like melted chocolate coconut ice cream, with a rich and smooth body that's heavy on the chocolate flavor. The coconut adds a further note of indulgence, while also helping to thicken the mix. The almond flavor (which comes from flavoring) is hard to taste, which, given it's billing on the front of the package, is a bit of a let-down. Honestly, we feel as though both the almond and the acai are unnecessary in terms of this drink's flavor. However, the nutrition part of the beverage, which is protein (8g) and antioxidants, make both the coconut milk and acai an important part of the drink. Packaging and positioning are good, but would be better (strictly from the point of view of appealing to your senses) if the drink weren't so purple heavy (purple has little to do with chocolate, almond, and coconut). Plus, it's easy to miss amongst the other Sambazon products. Overall, this is a really amazing tasting product, but it's one whose focus seems to be far from being an acai drink (which is what Sambazon is -- or maybe was -- supposedly all about).

You are so sweet - thank you so much for following! I used frozen hashbrowns from the grocery store. I went with the square kind, but the shredded would work too. I have also tried it using real potatoes, but I prefer it when made with the frozen hashbrowns. Hopefully you can find them, because this really is delicious. -JennDelete
This sounds really yummy!! Do you think you could sub the sour cream with plain greek yogurt?ReplyDeleteReplies
I have used greek yogurt instead of sour cream in savory recipes before and it totally works. It will have a slightly different flavor, but if you like the flavor of Greek yogurt, I think it is a great idea. I also use the 98% fat free can of cream of celery soup when I make this. -JennDelete

I made this tonight and my girls and I loved it! I can't wait to eat leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I don't have many recipes for pork chops so I am excited to have another one. Thank you!ReplyDeleteReplies
I am so glad that both you and your girls loved it. I am always on the hunt for good pork chop recipes too and this one is definitely a keeper. Thanks for letting me know! - JennDelete
Yet another fab recipe ... good thing I started following you, so I won't miss a single recipe to come! ;) Pinning this as well! Thanks!! :)ReplyDelete

Blackberry Porkchops. Salt and pepper thick cut chops. Sear in a pan with EVOO until nice and brown on one side. Flip and put pan in 475 oven. When about 90% finished, top each chop with good quality blackberry jam. Use seedless. Bake 3-4 mins more. Remove from oven. Let chops rest while you deglaze pan with chicken stock. Reduce till sauce is thickened and finosh with cold butter. Amazing results and quick. Use lots of S&P and thick boneless chops.ReplyDeleteReplies
Sounds amazing. Thanks!Delete

We won't get into the debate over what type of broadhead to use for what kind of animal. But, we will say that most archers have a desire for the flattest trajectory possible to minimize ranging errors. Many hunters prefer to use fixed blade broadheads while others swear by mechanical broadheads – the debate will probably go on for quite a while. We're sure that a number of you have tried to drive, oh let's say a Zwickey (or any number of large fixed blade heads), at high speed on the front of a carbon or super-light aluminum shaft steered by 4″ vanes and got marginal results at best. Go to 5″ vanes and you slow things down a bit and are now dealing with more interference issues (nothing is free). Those of you that are really into extremely high arrow speeds have the issue of vanes letting them down at these velocities. We know that we've bought more arrow rests, shafts, vanes fletching tools and broadheads than should be allowed by law in search of that perfect arrow flight. Yes, we've had some very good setups, but always at some level of compromise.
Shoot and stabilize large fixed blade heads with FOBs . The FOB fletched arrow will fly faster, truer and hit harder than anything that has ever been marketed before.
Special note to shooters that have high speed set ups. You can take advantage of the FOB and successfully shoot arrows at previously unheard of velocities without any of the instability problems that are inherent to conventional fletching. The FOBs superior flight characteristics are unaffected by high arrow velocities. In fact, the faster the FOB goes, the more stability it provides! Now you can make those speed bow setups really smoke!
Reduced accuracy robbing cross wind affect. The cross wind affected surface area of a FOB is reduced 2½ times compared to three 4″ vanes which really makes a marked improvement in arrow flight as well as your ability to accurately hold your bow while trying to shoot with a bow mounted quiver full of arrows.
Flatter trajectory. Higher initial velocity because the FOB is lighter than three 4″ vanes and glue. Since the FOB arrow stabilizes more rapidly than a fletched arrow, less speed robbing air friction is spent in the first few yards of flight enhancing the FOB arrows velocity delta over the fletched arrow. Due to the FOBs reduced frontal surface area compared to conventional fletching, the FOB has less speed robbing drag (friction) during flight. Bottom line is that the faster an arrow gets there, the less we have to worry about arrow drop. The increased arrow speed at the target means more impact energy, which results in deeper penetration and more humane kills.
Deeper penetration. When your arrow penetrates an animal deeply, the FOB simply pops off the shaft and the arrow continues its path through the animal. Penetration is increased because there are no fletchings to hang-up in the animal, just a bare, blood lubricated, shaft that slides right on through. A side bonus is that the spot that the animal was standing when hit is clearly marked by the FOB that popped off when the arrow passed through the animal.

Verne : The Producer
"From the first draft script, through all stages of production, to the final dub, success or failure rests largely in the hands of the producer. Experience in this field does not come overnight. Rather it is born out of long years of creative and technical know-how, and above all a love for the job and all that goes with it, together with the ability to choose the right talent with which to surround himself."
– Julian Wintle
Recently, I've been busy doing a number of things which have taken away part of my time to blog. Ideally I wanted to become a game producer. Unconsciously I took a different route by going through traditional media – attending a short lesson on basic photography. Then currently learning a little bit of minor directing and video producing. Never really thought I'd be in to this sort of thing. I just got sucked into it. Inspired by filmmaking to do some short iPhone vids. Here's my short take on the last post I made.
This was long overdue. One of the videos I semi-produced.
and a more recent one.
It's like there's another door aside from the four that I mentioned in here – The Death Star – that I could open which I need a lot more work on. Producing is fun. I'm going to start producing some videos for myself one day. Just waiting for that iPhone! Haven't seen many videos made with the Samsung Note's Cinenote, so if you can find me some, maybe it'll change my mind! Have a good one.

When exactly it was, I don't remember. But at some point I started blogging. It's something I've been doing for almost 5 years now, and I still love it. I love it for many reasons. Also for a lot of reasons that I can't really put to words. Yes, I'm a blogger who sometimes doesn't know how to put things to words. But I'm going to give it a go.
– Opportunties I've had
Blogging also created opportunities for me. I've collaborated with inspiring brands, went to cool and interesting events and I've been featured in magazines and on websites as well. Things I never thought would happen when I started blogging. I'm very thankful for all the opportunities I've had and because of them I also learned a lot.
– Being creative
I think we all agree blogging is something creative. You need to come up with ideas for posts, take photographs, write the texts. Nowadays it's hard to stand out since there are so many bloggers on the planet. But still, I try my best and I try to be me. I love the creative part about blogging. Taking pictures is something I love and I want to do it more often. And also writing. Here on Radiate Fashion, I write what I want, and how I want of course since it's my website. But on my other travel blog, the articles I write are different and more formal and informative. I like to try out different writing styles and improve myself.
– The friendships
Over the past 5 years I've met so many amazing people with the same interests. Fashion, photography, writing, creating videos and more. I'm lucky to call some of the many people that I've met my friends. They inspire me and motivate me. They're fun to hang out with and talk to and it's cool to create content together as well.
– Blogging made me realize what I like (a lot)
Although I still don't know what I want to do in the future (but hey, we live in the now right?), blogging did make me realize what I like to do. I like writing, traveling, and fashion. I love photography and I must say I also like the business side of blogging. Before I started this blog, I didn't know I liked all these things, at least I didn't know I liked these thing so so much. This February I'm even going to follow a photography course. So excited. I'm sure that at some point I will find out what I want to do later, but for now I'll just try to figure it out by doing what I love at the moment. And not worrying t0o much about later.
I've been blogging for almost 5 years now. Quite a long time I must say. But I love doing it, and will continue doing it as long as I still love it.
What do you love about blogging?

Ancient Lappa was built on the site of the current village of Argiroupoli, in a verdant, fertile area, which is run through by two streams. Its dominion extended to current Rethymnon, Apokoronas, Agios Vassilios and Sfakia. Idramia (current Dramia) to the north and Finikas (near Loutro Sfakion) on the Libyan Sea shore, were the two ports of Lappa. Even though the city existed at least since the Geometric years, it reached its peak in the Hellenistic and mainly the Roman period. According to mythology, it was founded by king Agamemnon himself, and its residents were renowned warriors.
Even though Lappa was an ally of Knossos, in 220 BC it provided shelter to the people of Lyttos, after their city was utterly destroyed by the Knossians. Later on, it was destroyed by the Romans, however it was soon rebuilt and became more brilliant than ever. Lappa of the Roman years featured luxurious hot baths (thermae) and a mint, while it is reported that there were silver, gold and tin mines in the area. IntheEarlyByzantineperiod, Lappa continued to thrive and it possibly was the Bishop's see of Lambi; traces of three Early Byzantine basilicas have been spotted in the area of Argiroupoli.
Even though no extensive excavations have been conducted, and there is not an organised archaeological site, traces of the past are evident in several places in the area. The most remarkable monuments to be seen are the Roman thermae and a large Roman cemetery at the location of Pente Partheni (= Five Virgins).
Archaeological finds from the Ancient Lappa area can be seen in the Archaeological Museum of Rethymnon; among these are mosaics depicting hunters and dogs chasing a bear and a deer, several marble statues, etc.

Boston soccer's (low-key) version of Becks and Posh
- |
Premiership player and pop-singer wife move across the Atlantic to start a new life in MLS. Becks and Posh ride the hype machine from Madrid to Los Angeles to Milan, David Beckham's success measured as much by clothing (caps earned, jerseys sold) as goals produced.
Now there is a Boston version, though not one fueled by handlers, marketers, and public relations people. Cory Gibbs and Zena McNally made the move below the radar, London to Colorado, then to the Revolution.
They have kept a low profile. Gibbs prefers working behind the scenes, his classy defending appreciated by soccer cognoscenti in a career that has taken him to professional clubs in four countries. Zena is the "striker'' of the couple, a gregarious attention-getter, a natural performer who gained fame with the R&B group Mis-Teeq, switching gears to become a BBC morning radio personality. Now she is a footballer's wife, ready to settle down in a new world.
Gibbs grew up playing soccer in a Jamaican neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale, then was recruited to Brown University, a move that helped open doors in the business world and also brought him in contact with Revolution coach Steve Nicol.
Gibbs's soccer career blossomed in Europe, but his chance on the international stage was undercut by a knee injury on the eve of the 2006 World Cup. He was named to the US team and played in World Cup qualifiers, but knee surgery kept him out of the main tournament. Now 30, Gibbs is the senior member of the Revolution's back line as the team transitions and his career moves to another phase.
"Stevie always took me in — when I was in college, when I was injured,'' Gibbs said. "It's like I'm where I needed to be, permanently. Europe is and should be every player's soccer dream, but this is where I ultimately wanted to be. It didn't work out the first time, because of who had my rights, first LA and then Colorado, but I'm here now.
"In Europe, the highlight had to be playing for Feyenoord, 60,000 people at our games, then a Premier team signing. That brought tears to my eyes but, unfortunately, I wasn't able to fulfill [expectations] because of injury.''
But Gibbs's move to London to play for Charlton Athletic, and the down time while recovering from the knee operation, allowed the couple to meet.
"We met in London and, God forbid, he had taken the decision to drain his knee just so he could play in the World Cup,'' Zena said. "He might not have got to Charlton and I wouldn't have a wonderful husband.
"I'm a true believer, everything happens for a reason. Actually, before I met Cory, I'd always wanted to eventually live in America. It was never a thought I'm going to marry an American; it was I'm going to live in America. And I ended up meeting Cory and then we ended up here. That was a dream in itself.
"Before we came, Cory said, 'You'll love Boston. I'm trying to get traded there. That's my first choice.' He was telling me so many things about here. It's similar to New York.
"Obviously, we were in Denver first and it was a lot quieter than what I'm used to, but it gave me that gradual run-up to now be in Boston and experiencing the city life and all these different things we're doing here. So I'm really happy.''
"I was at the point in my life where it happened very naturally for me to leave everything behind and step out of my career into married life and be an at-home wife,'' Zena said. "So I think we were very lucky with that.
"It was a shock because we were married July 4, 2008, and I think it was two weeks after Cory found out he was being transferred to the MLS. And I was making plans, like what I'm going to do next year. In my job, I was looking forward to a promotion and it was a big shock.
"I would be lying if I said when I first moved over here it was all . . . I did miss it for a few months, but it was at the point in my life where I just got married and I wanted to start having children and just enjoying married life and being a wife.
"I really didn't have the passion or the drive. I've been in the industry for, like, 10 years and I didn't have that drive to start from scratch at the age of 30. So, I said, 'You know what? I'm going to start looking for other things I'm interested in.'
"It was kind of like you take account of your life and say I'm leaving this behind — but it's not a bad thing — and I'm moving forward with this. I think, basically, my days of dancing around in hot pants are behind me.''
Gibbs, too, has given up a big European stage for a more modest league.
"When we first met, he was still kind of recovering from the knee injury,'' Zena said. "And he's very passionate about football and just seeing his passion for it and all the work he puts in to get back into the game and, obviously, he told me about the World Cup.
"Me and his mom are really close, and I know how his mom would have taken it and how hurt she would have been, and how that would affect him, as well. It is a sad thing but I know he made the right decision [to have surgery] and he should be proud he was selected. Not everybody gets selected. And he was there and he was part of the team.''
Gibbs last performed for the United States as a starting left back in a 1-1 tie with Morocco in Nashville in May 2006. He could have tried to play through the knee injury in the World Cup in Germany, but the effects could have been debilitating.
"It was disheartening,'' Gibbs said. "I got selected and I'm on my way there, and days before we're about to start our first game, I [injured] my knee.
"I spoke to [then-US coach] Bruce Arena about it and he said you've already signed your contract and it's all about getting yourself healthy before you get to Charlton, instead of just draining your knee and putting in whatever injection you needed to do just to play in the World Cup.
"It was a big decision I had to make and, ultimately, it was the right decision in terms of taking care of myself. I give a lot of respect to him and it hurts, you know, not being able to represent my country, but at the same time it was the right decision.
"That's my dream — that's every soccer player's dream — to represent their country and play in the World Cup. I passed the first step, which was making the team, and being able to play in the game was the second step, and you're so close, and you see how it hurts your family so much.
"I had to make that smart decision to get the operation done before the World Cup instead of risking other injuries.''
Zena moved to London from Birmingham as a teenager.
"I told my mum this is what I want to do, I'm passionate about it, don't worry,'' she said. "I went down there, luckily got myself into a girl group. That didn't really work out, so I went solo. I signed with a record label, just lived out my dreams, really.''
Gibbs's path to international soccer began with a phone call from Noonan.
"I didn't even know what Brown was,'' Gibbs said. "Ivy League? I said from Day 1, Mike Noonan has been like a second father. I've taken his advice and gotten places, from an 18-year-old kid to who I am now.
"I grew up a left back. Noonan structured me into a center back. Playing on the U20 team with [current and former Revolution players] Taylor Twellman, Jamar Beasley, Nick Downing, plus Nick Garcia, Steve Cherundolo, Tim Howard, Chris Albright . . . I signed a big deal from that, I went to St. Pauli [in Germany].
"It was absolutely amazing, 23,000 fans chanting at every game. Even though it wasn't the biggest club, they were ranked third in Europe. Win, lose, or draw, it was a good experience and they boosted my career. The Bundesliga is hard-nose, two-touch football, and you have to be focused day in and out. It lets you mature as a person.''
St. Pauli, the alternative club of Hamburg, still sells T-shirts with Gibbs listed in the starting lineup of an upset victory over Bayern Munich.
Gibbs learned German, then Dutch after moving to Rotterdam to perform for Feyenoord. He played a season (2004) with Dallas in MLS and, after another European stint, returned to the United States. At first, Gibbs was going to the Los Angeles Galaxy to play for his former Feyenoord coach, Ruud Gullit. But MLS rules prevented the move, instead assigning his rights to the Colorado Rapids, the type of transaction that confounded Gullit and other foreign coaches in the league.
MLS has also been confusing to Zena, who grew up an Aston Villa supporter.
"I'm used to being in the stands and joining in the chants and stuff,'' she said. "It's kind of like being at a football game here; a soccer game in England is like a football game here. That was a big change, going to Cory's games and there's not a lot of people there. At first it was a bit disheartening, like, why isn't there a lot of people coming to see my husband play and the team he plays for?
"But after you're here, you get used to the fact the MLS, as much as it's grown since it's started, it's still in its growth period and they are still trying to get more people to games. It wasn't hard, but it was different.''
"I think we actually lived out our courting relationship on the 'Breakfast Show,' '' Zena said. "When I started the 'Breakfast Show,' we had just met, so my kind of personality is very outspoken, kind of the gossip-girl type thing, and I used just talk about Cory constantly. So the listeners knew Cory and they hadn't met him. but everyone knew Cory. 'Oh, me and Cory did this yesterday.'
"I really like radio here. There's a lot more difference in the music. In Denver, they play the same songs all the time. I like the personalities here, a lot of personalities on the radio here — which is like England — that you can identify with.''
Zena also is getting a chance to redefine herself, away from the tabloid spotlight of footballer "Wags'' (wives and girlfriends).
"Oh yeah, the Wags, I hate that,'' she said. "It's very stereotypical. And that's the thing, with England, before someone meets you, if you are married to a footballer, you are already perceived as very snotty, very rude, very materialistic, no ambition-type thing. You're automatically famous if you're a Wag, but famous for the wrong reason.
"I think that was a good thing, because we got married and we just kind of left the country. I used to get a lot of jokes about that on the radio station, when people found out that I was marrying a footballer, a soccer player, and I don't like that, at all.
"I think over here it's a lot more low-key, people are a lot more humble with it. I think you get it more with the NBA players and the NFL players, but I'm just glad soccer wives are not stereotyped that way, because I'm definitely not a Wag.''
So it's on to soccer camps and clinics, Gibbs doing the instructing, Zena the organizing.
"It's just what I love to do,'' said Gibbs. "I love to teach and I love to just be a mentor for them and try to develop younger players. That's been my ultimate goal since Day 1, growing up and watching other big footballers play.
"So now that I have that opportunity, I want to take advantage of it. I try to do it on the field with our team, leading the back line and guys in front of me. That's what I'm trying to translate to younger kids.''

Note: Cases such as this one, in which a child is the perpetrator of but one actual murder, yet shows an inclination to commit further murders, are included in our inventory, not to inflate the numbers, but because cases involving young killers are exceptionally important in understanding the phenomenon of serial killing.
Kathleen Riefer, 12, murdered one child and injured (in apparent attempt to murder) four others.
FULL TEXT: Berlin, April 7. – There is an extraordinary parallel of the Dusseldorf outrages at Saarbrucken (Rhenish Prussia), but in this instance the perpetrator is a 12-year-old girl, Kathleen Riefer, who has confessed to the killing of a four-year-old infant, and to inflicting savage injuries on four others.
The body of the murdered child was found in March, carefully and skilfully hidden in a hollow near a disused cemetery. In the next few days a four-year-old girl was found distracted in waste ground with throttling marks on her neck. Then in quick succession three others were found similarly treated.
Riefer has maintained stubborn silence to the police questions, and has refused to give the motive. Her parents are excellent citizens.

About Marcello Lo Giudice
An artist of the European art informal movement, Marcello Lo Giudice uses thick layers of pigment to create tactile paintings that resembles geological forms. After experimenting with conceptual art during the 1970s—working with wax, smoke, burned paper, and organic materials—Lo Giudice developed a visceral style of painting that employs light, energy, and pigment. His paintings are grounded in an admiration of nature and an interest in cosmic energies. Lo Giudice's sculptural work expands on his painting practice, featuring new materials to amplify his theories. The "Totem" series consists of burned or emptied mattress frames filled with colorful ceramics. Each piece calls attention to global atrocities and acts as both an emblem of violence and a symbol of rebirth.
Italian, b. 1957, Taormina, Sicily, based in Milan, Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy

What a bunch of hooey... this sounds it was written by some desperate lib businessman trying to extort the most amount of taxes out of people, never letting them earn less and pay less to the government for the privilege of 'working'. 1. There is no physical reason to retire.Death is permanent...and I would rather have many years to do WHAT I WANT, and not what some company wants. As you get older, you cannot always do the things you wanted to do when you were younger. Stress is a very good reason to retire. Deadlines, pointy-haired bosses, expected overtime and 60 hour work weeks in a hard to get job market..... -------2. Continued work can support healthy aging, including better physical and mental health.Desk jobs as he noted don't support better aging, but more stress and more problems. Physical health sitting at a desk? ha......Mental health in a high stress environment? ha.....--------3. Well-being and happiness are boosted when people are engaged in challenging and meaningful activities. Work is a major place to find such activities in our society.Make that it is just ONE place to find such activities. THere are thousands of other places for 'challenging and meaningful activities' , especially to oneself!....-------4. Older people have rich experience and mentoring skills to help enrich the workplace experiences of younger colleagues.So what? Did I ever get rewarded at work for 'mentoring' younger workers? NOT.....usually the boss's pet worker was assigned to do work not qualified, then I had to help bail him out, he got all sorts of accolades..and promotions......and I got ignored at promotion time. Been there, done that..... plus of course, I had my own work to do. yep, in some cases, that is true. In many cases, you are just busy trying to get your work done. And keep your job as the bean counters realize that guy you just trained is making 20% less than you and after you have 'coached' him for a year or two, can do your job, too. When it is layoff time, they want YOU to go, not him. ----------5. Declining numbers of younger workers, courtesy of lower fertility rates, will raise the need to retain older employees in the workforce.Not my problem. ------6. We need and like the money, and shorter retirements sharply cut the risk we will outlive our assets.Speak for yourself. I'm sure that is why the public sector unions all wrote contracts that allow retirement after 20 years for police and fire fighters, and 30 years for toll takes, sanitation workers, etc, with nearly 100% of pay and health care benefits.....I need and like money, but not gobs of money ......And why should I work another ten years, pay another half million in taxes....to make some company a lot of money? For what reason? I would save a bunch of it, then have more money that I could spend in a much shorter expected retirement. HEck, I worked 31 years. I hope I get to have 31 years in retirement, which will get me to 83. I had fun times at work. I had boring times at work. It's sure been nice not to be working for the past 13.3 years. I have no intention of 'going back to work' or 'making money as an employee'.....Only those without enough assets to retire, or without a decent pension and SS....should consider working to a later age. Or those who are work-a-holics with no outside interests.....those folks should stay at work as long as possible., They'll be bored with retirement. Life isn't about how many days you spent at the office. Very few say on their death bed : "I wish I had spent more time in the office".t.I tend to be conservative in my estimates. I'll have a cushion but once that cushion is funded, I'm not staying for the money.

Choosing a collaborative power as your first power (students)
Collaborative powers are powers that let you help your teammates.
Heal 1
A teammate gains 10 HP.
Mana Transfer
All team members, except mages, gain 7 AP.
Protect 1
The warrior can take up to 10 damage instead of their teammate, receiving only 80% of the initial damage.
If most or all of your teammates start the game with a collaborative power, you'll give yourselves an advantage because you'll be better equipped to avoid falling in battle, or losing all your HP. Teams that start the game off with cooperative powers survive much longer than the teams that don't.
When you use a collaborative power to help a teammate, you'll gain bonus XP, which helps you learn new powers more quickly. (Note: You won't earn XP when using a collaborative power on yourself!)
Collaborative powers that you can start with include Protect 1 (Warrior), Mana Transfer (Mage), and Heal 1 (Healer).
Sometimes teachers may choose to make other powers collaborative. Keep an eye out!

Beltway Blog — House GOP applauds Tim Tebow
WASHINGTON — House Republicans, in a little Twitter fete, commended Tim Tebow today, calling him a role model, according to The Hill.
The Capitol Hill news website reported that Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.) tweeted Wednesday that Tebow "should be commended and encouraged for believing in something greater than themselves. Keep it up, Tim."
Rep. Jeff Duncan, a Republican from South Carolina, gave a nod to Tebow's outspoken Christian faith in a Floor speech this week, the Hill noted.
The Broncos have gone 5-1 since Tebow took over as quarterback.

You should be allowed to drive and talk at the same time. There are many people who drive long distances each day and this is their only time to talk to family or get necessary calls out of the way. The issue is we need to keep it done hands free for safety.
People should shut up on the phone and if they value their life then get off the phone yes people need to call their families and stuff but their life cant be called back its been proven that you are 80% more likely to crash when driving while distracted and 90 % of that is from cellular devices -Yay
People need to be focused and paying attention while on the road. We cannot allow people to have such distractions when these distractions can be a matter of life and death. Driving is dangerous, and reasonable precautions and regulations need to be taken to ensure that people don't die on a daily basis.

2008 Cadillac CTS V6 DI: Noisy
August 18, 2008
It's been about three months since I've been in our Long Term 2008 Cadillac CTS and I think that it's spent that entire time being driven over cobblestones. Even with the radio on, the slightest road imperfection causes the CTS to erupt with noise.
Here's a list of things that squeak or rattle in our CTS.
Driver seat (this is particularly bad when turning, braking or accelerating. Or entering / exiting the vehicle)
Passenger seat
instrument cluster (chrome surrounds buzz and rattle)
rear seats
center console
Shift lever
Nav screen (intermittent when rising)
The driver seat-back also feels as if it's sagging down slightly to the right.

(Anse-à-Pitres, Haiti) January 13, 2012 — Two-hundred and forty students in this Haitian community have moved from a dilapidated building and outdoor desks protected only by tarps to a new school complex.
Although public education is ostensibly free in Haiti, the biggest challenge for parents is being able to buy their child one pair of shoes, two school uniforms, books and notebooks, and to be able to pay the $100 fee — $10 per month during the school year — to sustain the operations of the school.
Jesuit Refugee Service/USA is covering the operational costs at the elementary school for the first year. The JRS program provides $15,000 for school fees and for shoes, uniforms, books and school supplies for the children.
"The children simply would not be able to go to school if the fees were not paid by JRS," said Jenia Pierre, a mother with eight children in the school. Jenia lives with her children in a small, ramshackle structure.
Looking to the future, she added, "If the kids don't study, they will never have a better way of living."
The Canadian government funded the construction of the new school. Unlike the old school, the new school has real walls, floors, ceilings, electricity and a library.
"The library is much better now. Before we had to always borrow books, now we have constant access," said school director Augustine Valdes.
Jesuit Refugee Service/USA purchased 600 desks for the school, at a cost of $23,000. JRS is also funding 11 teacher salaries for the first year, at $13,000, and has provided $7,000 for a playground for the children.
Anse-à-Pitres is on the shore of the Caribbean Sea, and is one of four major border crossings between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. More than 15,000 people live in the area, and after the January 2010 earthquake the area absorbed 5,000 more people displaced from Port-au-Prince and Jacmel.
"During a storm in May 2004, the town was under water. During hurricanes, the ocean rises and it floods here. The new school location is much safer, it's higher and farther from the sea, and can be used as an emergency shelter during a hurricane," Fr. Andre Helvetius Affricot of Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School told us in May of last year.
Literacy levels in Haiti hover at 53% for school-aged children. Only 38% of Haitians above the age of 15 are literate, with significantly less adult literacy among women than among men. As children under the age of 18 account for almost half of Haiti's total population of nine million people, a free universal education system is undoubtedly a critical element in rebuilding and strengthening the nation's political and socio-economic development.
JRS believes that primary, secondary and higher education must be decentralized so that it is available to those who live outside of major urban centers; this tenet led us to concentrate on education initiatives in the border regions.
"We invest in education because an educated person is beneficial to society. My goal is to have an education center with primary, secondary and technical schools," said Fr. Andre.
The school hopes to raise $65,000 for the purchase of a bus. The vehicle is needed for younger students to reach the new school.
"The new school is several miles away from the center of town, and up in the hills in higher ground safe from potential flooding. In case of natural disasters, school facilities will serve as the main shelter for town residents. With no public transportation locally available, a bus would be a great help to transport the children to the school, especially the younger students, the ones in kindergarten," said Fr. Andre.
Asked why he liked working at the school, Br. Frederick Duson, a technical director and custodian at the school, replied simply: "God loves these children, so I love them."

ATWATER, Calif. (KFSN) --A woman living on the first floor called 911 saying she heard gunfire overhead. That is when a business owner across the street saw a large group of officer mobilize, then a second wave of shots.
"We heard them planning it all out, even before they went there," said Baltazar Barocio.
Barocio was tending to customers Tuesday when he noticed an abnormal number of officers gathered across the street.
"Me and the customer were like what's really going on?" said Barocio.
Moments before, someone called police, saying a shooter was firing shots on the second floor of this apartment complex from the Winton Gardens Apartment Complex.
You can see officers, putting together a plan of attack. The facts that follow are murky.
"I'm not sure how it escalated because the investigation is still ongoing, at which time the suspect came out of the room, an exchange of gunfire occurred," said Chief Sammy Joseph.
Witnesses say they heard four to five shots. At this point, investigators cannot tell us who fired what.
"We heard them yelling at each other, get the shield, we seen the shotgun ready to go, we started looking back over there again thinking something was going down," said Barocio.
The suspect was the only one hit and died at the hospital. Detectives say he had a handgun.
"Somebody messed up--for the officers to do planning like that, somebody's up to no good."
The Merced County Sheriff's office has taken over the investigation. The two officers involved were not hurt and both have been with the department for 12 years.

The Christmas Song Emoji Quiz!
In late 2016, I noticed that a post in the Music Teachers Facebook group was getting a lot of attention. Teacher Krista Reeder invited everyone to take part in a game of "guess the Christmas song" by using only emojis to depict the title. A couple of hundred comments later, there ended up being quite a decent list of emoji songs!
Worksheet version for students
I thought it might be useful to collect them and put them into a worksheet format for students in class. I've split the songs into two separate quiz worksheets – verion 1 and version 2 – and each have a different series of questions. I realise that it might be a bit too late for many of you to use the quiz this year, but you can always save it up for 2017 and beyond!
Tip for those of you with young students
If you have young students that might struggle to answer the questions, you could print out the answer sheet, cut up all the questions and answers and play a game of "match the song to the emojis" (perhaps with just a handful of songs that you are confident they know).
Download your copy of the Christmas Emoji Quiz 1 and 2

Assistant Professor
Ph.D., University of California, Irvine, 2009
Faculty » Elizabeth Davis
My research focuses on understanding how emotion regulation relates to adaptive outcomes (e.g., learning) and maladaptive outcomes (e.g., anxiety) in childhood. Emotion regulation can be broadly defined as the set of processes by which people influence the timing, expression, and experience of their emotions. Learning to regulate negative emotion is one of the most important tasks of childhood, with far-reaching consequences for children's school adjustment, peer relationships, and mental health. My work to date has aimed to identify regulatory strategies that children can use to effectively alleviate negative emotion, and to identify individual differences in children's biology and social experiences that determine whether they can regulate emotion effectively. My work also focuses on identifying mechanisms responsible for effective emotion regulation (e.g., attentional focus) to explain why certain emotion regulation strategies attenuate negative emotion and distress. Ultimately, I view this program of research as providing an empirical basis for interventions aimed at improving children's emotion regulation abilities and mitigating risk for maladaptive outcomes.

Japan Airlines today said that a horrific fire that broke out on one of its Boeing 787 Dreamliners while parked and not-filled with passengers in Boston was minor and dealt with quickly by ground staff.
Dramatic video shows the Dreamliner dramatically immobile on tarmac engulfed by fire-crews and thick billowing clouds, of a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen
The non-inferno engulfed the airliner which was not-packed with up to 300 passengers. Women and children were suspected to have been on the plane before disembarking at the destination where it didn't spectacularly burst into flames a while after the plane was emptied.
Expert sources on the crash have contributed to this rapidly developing story "I don't want to be an alarmist, but onboard fires on airplanes are as bad as it gets," said Carter Leake, an analyst at BB&T Capital Markets in Virginia (Genuine Quote). Confirming public suspicions about fires on commercial airliners.
Onlookers have stated how awful it would have been if the fire had been in mid-air and the plane had been full of a school returning from a trip to japan, or if it had been carrying popular boy band One Direction back from a tour of the US, or if it had been a boat on the ocean, and had hit an iceberg and there weren't enough lifejackets for everyone on the seabound plane and they had to shoot some passengers to stop them from taking the lifejackets. One onlooker remarked "It was like a horrible movie or some other piece of fiction"
Boeing have said they will look into technical faults and have acknowledged problems with a brand new airline that has passed a huge number of technical safety tests. For this impoverished reporter, this can't happen soon enough. This definitely cannnot happen soon enough
