The hawks and doves of PUBG
PUBG is a battle royale style game and can be a fascinating study in behaviour. One hundred people stuck on a plane with nothing but the clothes on their back...and often not even that, are thrust into the battered island arena which will be the home of their harrowing adventure, a barrier shrinking in and pushing the combatants closer and closer together. Here you'll find your hawks, doves and...well frankly, crazy players. The general base of hawk and dove game theory is that while both will be initially aggressive, the doves will retreat to safety in the face of a hawk, while the hawk will fight to the death.Where you choose to begin can have an astounding effect on your success, the hawks being aggressive and going in for the fight will land at more built up areas. These cities, bunkers and ruins often have the most choice of equipment to find, but with every extra person your chances of getting out of that situation alive decreases. The survivor/s of these battles will walk out with the best equipment and the confidence of having known they just significantly reduced the opposition. The doves will have grabbed equipment and quietly fled from the area in hopes of a safer area to hunker down until they are forced to move in closer.I'm a dove in these games, I'll take little risk but more often playing it safely. Grabbing what I can, often from more remote locations while trying to keep my distance until I slowly crawl my way into the next area. The chances I'll get the best equipment are slimmer, but sometimes it happens. In half the times I've won my chicken dinner I didn't fire a shot until the final hawk, weakened from the battle with the others, is looking around confused and wondering why they haven't won and where anyone else might be. As their heart races, starting to panic slightly a shot rings out... and suddenly after all that effort, second place. Their triumph stolen by a sneaky little bastard who quickly learned when to fire and when not to. Not that is works every time, sometimes you forget to switch to single fire and spray blindly before being taken down quite embarrassingly.Of course all this is ignoring the outliers, the people who race into vehicles and spend the final moments of a match circling around the rapidly shrinking zone in the hopes of hitting some poor unfortunate soul trying to keep in cover. Hiding in long grass I've had a car drive within inches of me, as they never returned I'm confident they didn't even know I was there, they just hoped they'd hit someone before someone hit them enough to destroy their vehicle. These people are the absolute worst.Of course, odds and brazen driving aren't all that matters in such a game. Patience and skill take a part, and being able to hold off the panic while your heart, inexplicably pounding in your chest, tries to jump out of your throat and make a run for it as it's pretty sure it shouldn't be enduring such stress while playing a game. But you go back, because you only just landed at a remote farm house before being mown down that time, and that's not really a game. You try and be the hawk, if you're normally a dove and find it terrifying and pointless. It's always better to play the odds, after all.Fortnite has its own battle royale mode, which made the game instantly much more popular. It is pretty much the same as PUBG, except it's free and polished and really rather ridiculous. There are no vehicles but you can build structures, so the end game usually results in whoever is the best architect with the luckiest positioning of their structure. While still as heart pounding at times, its more cartoonish design leaves it more relaxing, and you'll be much more forgiving and less enraged when you die than you would on PUBG.

Implementing an IoT Edge Devices while keeping NRE low
A new breed of designers has arrived that is leveraging inexpensive sensors to build the intelligent systems at the edge of the IoT. Hardware design is on the rise. One designer in a garage, a small startup, small to mid-size companies, and even small groups within large companies with a "startup attitude" are designing IoT edge devices. These designers need to keep non-recurring expense (NRE) down by using affordable design tools that are easy to use to quickly produce results and by minimizing IP and fabrication costs.
Their goal is to deliver a functioning device to their stakeholders while spending as little money as possible to get there. They require a proof-of-concept in order to make a fast go/no-go decision and then they rapidly implement solutions using integrated tool flows that allow them to quickly develop hardware, embedded software, and unique formfactor PCBs.

Health Benefits:
Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamins C and K as well as providing a good dose of fibre, folic acid, manganese and potassium. They also contain significant amounts of phytonutrients and flavonoids which make strawberries bright red. They have been used throughout history in a medicinal context to help with digestive ailments, teeth whitening and skin irritations. Their fibre and fructose content may help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion and the fibre is thought to have a satiating effect. Leaves can be eaten raw, cooked or used to make tea.
The vibrant red colour of strawberries is due to large amounts of anthocyanidin, which also means they contain powerful antioxidants and are thought to protect against inflammation, cancer and heart disease.
Raw cacao powder is a superfood considering all the nutrients it contains, like vitamins, minerals, fibre, protein, flavonoids, polyphenols and much much more! Thanks to that raw cacao is supporting healthy metabolism, so beneficial for people trying to lose weight, it is full of antioxidants boosting our immune system and cardiovascular system, it is all a wonderful mood enhancer.
Coconut improves insulin sensitivity and blocks fat storage, also in patients with type 2 diabetes, therefore it is supporting a healthy weight loss. It is also antimicrobial, it has antioxidant and anti-stress properties and it supports a healthy heart. Coconut fat is a type of fat that we shouldn't be afraid of and we should use it as often as possible. Not only coconut fat is digested different and converted straight away for energy other than being stored in our fat tissue. is

Finishing up at Brigham Young University in Utah, I couldn't wait to begin my career in mortgage lending! What an amazing opportunity to be in a position of trust during transactions of such importance in people's lives that involve things they care about most – their home, their family and their money.
After originating loans in Utah for a few years, I moved to Colorado to open and manage a new office for a rapidly expanding mortgage company. In 2001, a close friend of mine and I exercised our entrepreneurial spirit and started our own lending company as producing managers/owners. Our mission was to put people ahead of policies and relationships above revenue and to be a bright spot in the mortgage industry. Also during these years, I attended the University of Denver and earned an MBA from the Daniel's College of Business.
Here at V.I.P., I am excited to continue my commitment to providing the very best customer experience possible while building high-producing teams, growing the V.I.P. brand and making a difference with a company that puts people as its priority.
When I am not working, I enjoy golf, fishing, skiing, running, Crossfit, yard work, technology, chocolate chip cookies and, most of all, time with family. My wife and I have four children. We are active in our church, and I currently serve as Steering Committee member and Sports Breakfast Committee Co-Chair with the Denver Area Council Boy Scouts of America.

Join the Crypto Club: how Alternativet are embracing blockchain technology
Maria Dorthea Skov recently visited Copenhagen and had the change to catch up with Rolf Bjerre from Alternativet. Last time we met Rolf was in the week leading up to the local and regional election and sadly, Rolf did not get elected for either. Now he devotes his time to a cause close to his heart - developing Alternativet's policies around blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.
For this purpose, and with the firm conviction that change must come from the bottom up, he has set up the 'Crypto Club' - a weekly meet-up for those interested in learning more about the blockchain, communicating the knowledge they gain to others and put it to use when developing policies. The meet-ups include talks, panel and group debates, focused group work, idea generation and presentations - always with a good dose of 'hygge'.
In the video below Rolf tells us more about setting up the Crypto Club while also sharing the details on Alternativet stepping into power; the new online platform he is developing; how buddhist monks are using the blockchain; and why we all need to learn too.
Are you interested in setting up and/or taking part in a The Alternative UK Crypto Club? And be a part of The Alternative's first international knowledge-sharing project? Get in touch on email@example.com.
Till then we'll share the Copenhagen club's 'need to watch' list for the best explanatory YouTube videos to watch if you're, like many of us, have not yet "caught on to the blockchain".
What is "blockchain technology"?
What can the "blockchain" potentially be used for?
How does "crypto-currencies" work?
What is a "lightning network" and why will it change crypto?
What is "proof of work" / "proof of stake"?
What is the difference between "bitcoin" and "blockchain"?

Replacement Moses Basket Covers
Are you are looking to buy an additional moses basket dressing set including liner, hood and covers?
It's a sensible idea to make sure you have replacement moses basket bedding for your little one. For the first 3 months your new baby will sleep in the same room as you in their baby basket. It offers a safe and secure place for them to sleep and it makes it easier for you to scoop them up and place them back down should they need feeding or comforting.
Baby can posset (Reflux affects around 40% of babies), nappies can leak or they can bring up their feed at night which soils the bedding. Soiled bedding needs to be replaced.

How to Know What to Charge for Public Speaking
By Meredith Liepelt
So you're a business owner who is interested in spreading your message through public speaking. Good for you! Public speaking is arguably one of the best ways to promote your business. The problem is that you don't know if you should or should not charge for your speaking engagements. And if you do charge, how do you set your fee?
Here's the answer - you just decide.
This sounds very simplistic, but this is the reality. You just decide what is right for you at this point in time. There is no "speaking fee system" that you have to fit into, thank goodness! That would severely limit what you as business owners want to do in your business.
In fact, that concept reminds me of my former work in corporate human resources, where I had a hand in creating compensation systems for three different organizations. For example, it was determined that if you are in job A, then you are in pay scale 1 and the salary range is $X to $Y. (I don't miss that work.)
There is no system like this for speakers, thank goodness. You just make it up.
That being said, there are many things that you need to weigh for yourself to find out what is right for you. Here are a few considerations to ponder.
1. Do you get clients when you speak?
One of my clients was going through this struggle. She regularly enrolled clients after speaking, to the tune of a minimum of $20,000 each over the course of their relationship. So, I asked her this, "If you can enroll a few clients at this level each time you speak for free, is a $3,000-$5,000 speaking fee worth limiting your speaking opportunities to only paid engagements?" Bottom line here, don't let your ego get in the way.
2. When someone asks about your fee, go into "journalist" mode by asking them questions first.
There are many things that go into a speaking engagement. For example, are they expecting original material or can you tweak your signature speech? Do they want power point slides, how many people will attend, who are they, what information are they expecting and/or wanting, can you sell from the stage or sell products at the back of the room, is there travel and an overnight stay involved, and so forth. Gather as much information as you can so you can assess if it's even an opportunity you want to pursue. If a relevant audience will not be there, just pass on the opportunity.
3. Ask who else is speaking and who spoke last year.
While this won't tell you exactly what the venue is accustomed to in terms of speaking fees, it is a clue as to what caliber of speaker they expect and what they may have budgeted for a speaker, if anything. And who you may be able to meet.
4. Find out all the "soft" benefits.
If they tell you upfront that they don't pay for speakers, find out if there are any "soft" benefits instead. For example, will they record your speech and send you a copy? Will they add a small amount to the ticket price to cover the cost of giving your book or a DVD to each attendee? Will you receive a list of attendees with their contact information so you can follow up with them once? Note - don't just add the attendees to your email list. This is called SPAM; it is not ethical and will not do you any favors.
5. Can you chalk this up to good PR and high-level networking?
Many times at large events, one of the benefits of speaking is that you get to meet and network with the other speakers. This can be worth way more than a $2,000 speaking fee. Or, you receive positive PR for your business, and being a speaker at the event builds your credibility. Again, that could be worth a lot more than a speaking fee.
6. Raise your fees
If speaking is your main source of revenue, keep raising your fees. In fact, increase it by at least 30% for the next inquiry you receive. One of my clients doubled her speaking fee and to her surprise, she keeps getting it! Now, she's raising her fees again. If nobody is saying "no," you're not charging enough.
So there are arguments for charging a fee and not for charging a fee. What's your business model? Are you working toward being a professional speaker or are the relationships that you can make worth more than the speaking fee? The beauty of being an entrepreneur is this: you decide what's right for you. And your answer can change over time.

The rhubarb in my garden is like the Energizer bunny— it just keeps going and going. Given my (relative) success with jam, I decided to try my hand at pickling the excess rhubarb. Rhubarb is a little mushy when it's pickled and canned but the brine and spices are lovely. I've used it as a condiment on hot dogs with riata, on grilled chicken and vegetables with naan— it adds a little sour, spicy kick and who doesn't like that?
Curried & Pickled Rhubarb
1 pound rhubarb, rinsed and cut into 1 inch matchsticks 2 cups apple cider 1 1/4 cup raw sugar 3 peels of lime peel, left whole 1 cinnamon stick, broken and divided among the jars 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seed 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes 1/2 teaspoon coriander seed 1/4 teaspoon cumin seed 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped and divided among the jars 2 jalapenos 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation Prepare 6 half pint jars for canning. In a medium-sized sauce pot, bring the vinegar, sugar, lime peel and cinnamon stick to a gentle boil and hold over low heat.
In another sauté pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat until hot. Stir in the fenugreek, mustard seeds, fennel seed, coriander seeds, chile flakes and cumin seeds. When the spices begin to pop (about 4 minutes), add the ginger, garlic, salt, jalapeños and onion, stirring until soft and slightly caramelized, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
Pack the canning jars with the rhubarb and cilantro, leaving 1/2 inch of head space. Pour equal spoonfuls of the spice mixture into each jar. Pour the hot vinegar over the carrots, submerging them and leaving about a 1/2 inch of head space. The contents should sit right below the bottom ring of the glass jar.
Process the jars in a water bath for 15 minutes. Make sure the seals are secure and store in a cool, dark cupboard for at least three weeks before eating.

The actress was at Fashion Rio to take part in the event, but goes back to New York on Wednesday (09)
Thaila Ayala , who is spending some time in New York to take a private English course with voice training and acting, landed in Brazil this week. Among other engagements, the actress featured in her third fashion show for the brand Ausländer, on Tuesday (08), at Fashion Rio.
At the fashion event, Thaila appeared with lighter hair. The change was the actress's own choice. "I lightened my hair on Friday. It was just me being silly. It's not for any work, despite having two films coming out soon. Maybe I'll even have to darken it again", said Thaila, who will launch a film in May and another in June, in Sao Paulo and in Rio de Janeiro. "One is a comedy which I can't say much about yet. The other is 'Apneia', which will finally be released after three years of fundraising" she said.
Thaila took the opportunity to deny any relationship with the actor James Franco, with whom she was spotted a few weeks ago. "I've already said. He (James) is my friend", she defended. Thaila, who is single, also showed that she took the whole story in good spirit. "I laughed, didn't I? I've already said that we are losing great script writers, because people create fantastic stories, with start, middle and end. I've said that if they invent that I am having a relationship with every one of my male friends, I will be the most flirtatious person in Brazil ".
And as the event is about fashion, Thaila took advantage to talk about her preferences when it comes to dressing. "I value my comfort. Whether at a formal party or going out on the street, I need to be comfortable. I love playing with the possibilities (of the look). I don't care about brands. The other day I was reported to be wearing Chanel boots worth, I don't know, thousands, and the boots were not even Chanel" she said.
On Wednesday (09), Thaila flies back to New York. She will spend her 28th birthday, which is on April 14, in Los Angeles, at the Coachella festival.

A hard day's afternoon.
Sometimes nothing goes right and yesterday's recording session was mostly one of those times. Instead of going to Hyde Street, I went to a yoga studio I can rent for $25 an hour. I figured I'd save a few bucks, right? I mean, Hyde Street is over $500 a day, not counting musicians, so I only like to use it if I really have to.
The session was supposed to start at 3:15 in the afternoon and go to about 5:30, but five minutes after arriving (on time even!), I realized I'd forgotten the power adaptor to my computer. Mind you, I had remembered my mic, mic stand, mic cable, pop screen, MBox, two pairs of headphones, a headphone extender cable, headphone mini-to-¼ inch stereo adaptors, a headphone pre-amp, a music stand, 2 sheets of lyrics, a pencil, a camera, a tripod and a computer -- and ALL OF IT became POINTLESS in that instant I reached for the AC adaptor and found it wasn't there.
Minutes later, vocalist Dave Brogan showed up and I had to tell him about the disaster and that I needed roughly 30 minutes to scoot home and get a G-----N F-----G ADAPTOR.
Side note: when things go wrong, I think I handle it fairly well outside (save for a slight perspiration issue), but inside I am roiling with emotion. There's self-loathing, anxiety, a sense of failure, a voice saying, "You loser". I always imagine myself as Charlie Brown with a scribble above his head but it's not funny. That scribble expresses perfectly what I feel: a mass of confusion, tangled thoughts (all of which are bad), blackness. And now with my brain injury, the scribble sensation is even worse, as my head always feels a little jumbled and light, no matter what's going on.
I returned to the yoga studio at just about 4:00 and we got going, only to have Pro Tools fail. ARGH. Digi or Apple or somebody must have created a bug during the Snow Leopard update, because after I loaded that mangy, maggot-ridden cat into my computer, Pro Tools has not been the same (yes, I have the latest version). The situation got worse over time, with Pro Tools ultimately failing to even go into record mode, despite several system reboots. Finally, we got a track down, but it will only serve as a guide for next time, which, of course, won't be for awhile because Dave and his band are headed to Australia to play a big festival. Shazbat.
And you know what the worst part of this whole story is? When I was digging though my computer bag this morning-- the same computer bag I brought to the recording session -- guess what I found: yup, an adaptor.

Why recycling is just insanity - nobody actually WANTS old cans, bottles and paper!
This is part of the Climate Change nonsense. To be able to maintain the vastly expensive infrastructure to collect various sorted heaps of waste - bottles - cans - paper - cardboard - plastic - garden refuse . . . we must buy more toys from China so that there are empty ships to take our salvage to China. The truth behind the green gibberish that is never cha;l;enegd on big media is that it is just expensive nonsnese and serves no purpose other than to employ thousands of useless officials. EUREFERENDUM Blog 6.11.08 An exercise in applied insanity Some of us probably remember jeering at the greenie Germans who got the recycling bug and ended up renting huge warehouses to store all the unwanted material they had collected. Well, it is now happening here, with The Times reporting that "thousands of tons of rubbish collected from household recycling bins may have to be stored in warehouses and former military bases to save them from being dumped after a collapse in prices." Collection companies and councils, we are told, are running out of space to store paper, plastic bottles and steel cans because prices are so low that the materials cannot be shifted. Collections of mixed plastics, mixed paper and steel reached record levels in the summer but the "bottom fell out of the market" and they are now worthless. This is actually only half the story and the clue as to what is really happening is given in the next bit of the story, where The Times notes that the plunge in prices was caused by "a sudden fall in demand for recycled materials, especially from China, as manufacturers reduced their output in line with the global economic downturn." What we all know is that the bulk of the so-called "recycled" material has been loaded on slow boats to China, where it has been "reprocessed" under appalling conditions, recorded many times. But as long as local authorities could get the waste off their books, honour was satisfied and quotas were deemed filled. Now, with the Chinese economy going into freefall and manufacturers going bankrupt in droves, cheap Chinese goods are no longer pouring into the UK, so there are no empty ships to take our rubbish as ballast for the return journey. So it is that "recyclers" are urgently asking the Environment Agency and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to change draconian regulations on the storage of recycled waste so we can store the unwanted waste – stuff that not even the Chinese want any more. But, in a classic example of "disconnect", Jane Kennedy, waste and recycling minister, is congratulating local authorities in England for reaching a 34.5 percent recycling rate, entirely heedless of the fact that their expensive separate collection systems are merely creating a massive storage problem, loading still further expense onto hard-pressed council tax payers. Still though, the madness goes on, with councils and council tax payers facing fines of up to £3 billion if they do not "reduce the amount of waste thrown into landfill," instead having to pay for it to be stored on disused airfields until – some day when these too are full, someone will undoubtedly make the brave decision that the waste should be landfilled. If there is a better example of the insanity both of the greenie agenda and of modern government, it would be very hard to find. It really does take a special kind of genius to screw up our waste management system so comprehensively. --------------------------------- Posted by Richard North

We Can Fix Your Child's Damaged Teeth with Restorative Dentistry
Children tend to love any kind of food that is bright, colorful, and packed with sugar, and at the same time, it can be difficult to get them to brush consistently. Of course, this often leads to tooth decay and cavities. Plus, because children are simply filled to the brim with energy, it's easy for them to have an accident where their teeth can chip or crack. Altogether, it's extremely common for a child to need a tooth or teeth repaired at some point. Fortunately, the team at Tic Tac Tooth can offer an array of treatments that can fix these exact problems and make sure your child's smile looks better than ever.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
One of the simplest and easiest ways to fix a small cavity involves using a filling. In the past, these were made of metal, and they left a very obvious gray mark on a tooth that just about everyone could see. We know that the last thing you want to do is have your child's smile be filled with metal, which is why our office only uses tooth-colored fillings.
Tooth-colored fillings are actually made of a putty-like substance called composite resin. As their name suggests, we can specially shade them so that they will perfectly match the color of your child's teeth, making them practically invisible.
Zirconia White Crowns
If your child has a chipped, cracked, or a decayed tooth that is too damaged to be repaired with a filling, Dr. Asim will probably use a dental crown to restore it. Unlike most other pediatric dentists who only use noticeable metal crowns, he will use something called a zirconia white crown, which is made of a high-quality ceramic material. These crowns, in addition to being extremely strong and durable, are also very natural-looking, assuring they'll blend seamlessly into your child's smile. Plus, because they are metal-free, it means they won't make your child's teeth more sensitive to hot and cold temperatures, and they can work flawlessly for children with metal allergies!
Therapeutic Nerve Treatment
This procedure is used to treat cavities that have reached the innermost chamber of a tooth where the sensitive dental pulp is located. The goal of therapeutic nerve treatment is to relieve your child's discomfort and save the tooth from early extraction. After preparing the tooth to reach the inner chamber, Dr. Asim will debride the infected tissue, fill the tooth with a medicated packing, and then use a crown or filling to restore it.
Thanks to local anesthesia and "The Wand," this procedure is completely painless, and we can ensure that your child will be comfortable the entire time.
Tooth Extractions
We will always try to preserve your child's natural teeth, but sometimes, the best course of treatment may involve removing one. This may be the case if:
- A tooth is too damaged to be repaired
- A baby tooth is blocking an erupting permanent tooth
- To make room for orthodontic treatment

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is classified as an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system which consists of the brain and spinal cord. The disease attacks the protective covering of the nerves, causing inflammation and often damaging the tissue that is necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses through nerve fibers.
MS is unpredictable and can cause symptoms such as extreme fatigue, lack of coordination, weakness, tingling, impaired sensation, vision problems, bladder problems, cognitive impairment and mood changes. Its effects can be physically, emotionally and financially draining with no known cure.
Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world, with an estimated 1 in 340 Canadians living with the disease. Swan Valley resident Amy Kooistra-Redlick is one of those statistics. It was on Jan. 13, 2014 that the then 33-year-old mother of two's life would change forever.
"One morning I woke up and I had absolutely no feeling from my waist down on the right side," said Kooistra-Redlick.
"There was still feeling if I pushed really hard – I could feel pressure – but I had no sensation. It felt as if it was non-stop asleep right to the end of the toe. It's the oddest feeling – it's there but it's not there – like a cement block that you are dragging around with you. I was still able to walk and function but I really had to watch as my foot would drag behind, making me stumble or trip."
Thinking she just had a pinched nerve, Kooistra-Redlick visited the chiropractor who couldn't find any issues. After a couple days with no changes, she decided to seek medical attention from her doctor.
"I explained everything and they did a whole bunch of tests – blood work, X-rays and everything like that – concluding that it might just be a flared up nerve," Kooistra-Redlick said.
"This went on for quite a few months and it wasn't going away. We had tried some different treatments and medications and now I wanted an MRI. Something wasn't right.
"I asked (the doctor) if they thought it could be MS," she continued. "The response was that I didn't want that but that it wouldn't be known without an MRI."
After waiting to receive the MRI, Kooistra-Redlick made the trip to Brandon for the test.
"We got the report back and it showed that I had lesions on my spine," she said. "I was set up at the MS clinic in Winnipeg. They were hesitant to call it MS right away. They ordered up another MRI with the machines they are familiar with and again the lesions showed."
By April 2014, Kooistra-Redlick was officially diagnosed – she did in fact have MS.
"They started me on different medications," she said. "I had numbness for six months in that leg before it started to go away. But, after the numbness was gone, I had pain. A lot of it was nerve pain and spasms – like really bad Charley horses or like your leg is both in a vice and being ripped apart.
"Pretty much a year, to the date, I had a relapse but this time in my torso. Again, I woke up feeling strange and couldn't feel as I was scratching my stomach. Again it was on the right side – from my belly button wrapping to my spine. This time the numbness was present but in addition it felt like I had ants or something crawling all over me. I would scratch so much that I would be bleeding and not even notice."
Kooistra-Redlick said that the relapse lasted for three months with no other occurrences until this past summer.
"While driving down from the lake I noticed the right side of my face was drooped – cheek, lips and everything," she said.
"My family was concerned I was maybe having a stroke but I didn't feel it was life threatening. When I went to the hospital they ran tests right away to determine that it was not, in fact, a stroke. But, the really bad numbness lasted a few weeks and then it slowly went away bit by bit over the next month."
In addition to having the original lesions that were found on her spine, Kooistra-Redlick now also has them on her brain.
"The different lesions affect different areas," she said. "I find the ones on my brain can really affect my speech, making me say an entirely different word than I intend to. I will also stutter or repeat myself."
To help control the pain, the symptoms and to try to slow down the process of the disease, Kooistra-Redlick is on a strict regimen of medications.
"At the beginning, it started off with slow doses of medications and then they started to introduce more and more," she said. "Throughout the years, it gradually increased from a couple pills throughout the day to now, where I take 47 pills a day. This is in addition to B12 injections every two weeks and injections three times a week with a drug to try to slow the progression of MS.
"My pills help me to function. If I forget to take them in the morning, even if I remember later, by afternoon, I feel sluggish. My leg also spasms really bad in the evening and this controls that."
Frustrated with the amount of chemicals she was putting in her body, the damage that was being done to her systems and the mental toll it all was taking, Kooistra-Redlick started looking for alternatives.
"I did a lot of research to see what might help," she said. "I knew I wouldn't stop being able to stop taking my injections but I had hope that I could stop taking some of the others. I was sick of taking 47 pills a day and trying to find an alternative method."
Kooistra-Redlick came across medical cannabis which is said to reduce nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, improve appetite in people with HIV/AIDS, and reduce chronic pain and muscle spasms for people suffering diseases like she was. But, there was a catch.
"I was not looking for the psychedelic high," she said. "I discussed it with health professionals and explained what I was looking for. I wanted to be able to reduce my use of pain medication and still be able to function normally – both at work and at home. There's no way I would be able to function at my job if I was high as a kite."
She found that medical cannabis can be administered using a variety of methods, just a few of which include liquid tinctures, vaporizing or smoking dried buds, edibles, taking capsules, using lozenges, dermal patches, or oral/dermal sprays.
"The stereotype is that you smoke a joint or you bake some brownies but there are so many more options," said Kooistra-Redlick. "I was able to try some things, like a lotion, that contained the oil extracted.
"I put the lotion right on my leg if I feel it starting to act up. Within 20-30 minutes the first time, I thought I had found a miracle cream."
Despite pending plans for legalization from the Canadian government, the use of cannabis and related products still carries a stigma in mainstream society.
"I was worried about what people would think," she said. "People think that you are just looking for a high. But, I'm just sick of the pain and the chemicals I have to put in my body to control it.
"You have to take one pill to fix a symptom which in turn has messed up my thyroid. Now I have to take medication to deal with the thyroid which caused other issues. The problems and the medications just start to stack up.
"But, I have 100 percent support both at work and at home," Kooistra-Redlick continued. "Everyone around me is absolutely amazing.
"I explained to my husband and my children that I was looking into this and was very clear on my reasons why. My son is 18, graduating this year, and my daughter is turning 16. I explained to them that just because I was looking into this, it didn't give them the right to go and freely use – these medical products are a lot different than what is found on the street. It was good to have the conversation and be open in the home about it."
The application process to obtain medical approval is currently a long and tedious one and Kooistra-Redlick is hoping that legalization will help people that suffer who are not wanting to jump through the hoops. Not only will it be easier to obtain after legalization but it will also make Kooistra-Redlick and others in chronic pain feel that much more comfortable in the use.
"Being able to go in and talk to someone locally who is knowledgeable about products would be amazing in finding ones that work best for my symptoms," she said.
"I'm grateful that the Town has approved the possible sale locally as it adds just that much more convenience – not just for me but anyone who has chronic pain. It can help people in so many different ways.
"It has helped me mentally and emotionally," Kooistra-Redlick concluded. "I got to the point where I was just done taking pills. Knowing that I cannot take as many and have something to fall back on, that is fast acting, is a peace of mind."
While the date for legalization has not yet been set in stone, for people like Kooistra-Redlick, the anticipation for summer is about more than just warmer weather this year.

G402 Hyperion Fury Gaming Mouse Review
We review one of Logitech's gaming mice, the G402 Hyperion Fury.
Logitech announced its G402 Hyperion Fury earlier this summer, calling it "the world's fastest gaming mouse." This mouse is more than just your run of the mill peripheral as Logitech has equipped it with multiple sensors in order to help accurately track extremely fast swipes of speeds of up to 1000 inches per second. It does this through a combination of sensors, which include a standard optical sensor, accelerometer and gyroscope.
The G402 Hyperion Fury is being marketed as being a go-to mouse for those who take their FPS games seriously. So should FPS really consider the G402 Hyperion Fury as their go-to mouse? That's exactly what we're here to find out.
How it feels
As soon as I put my hand on the G402, my hand forms around it surprisingly well. My middle portion of my hand is able to rest comfortably on the back of the mouse, while my index and middle finger fall onto the primary and secondary buttons of the mouse without having to strain them. The area where my thumb sits has a slight rubberized feel to it as well as the side where my ring finger grips the mouse. The right side of the mouse not only has a rubberized feel to it, but there are also slightly raised lines to improve my hold of the device.
In addition to the standard primary and secondary mouse buttons, there are three buttons that my thumb can instantly access with very little effort. Above my thumb are two buttons that can be used to perform a "back" or "forward" command while browsing the web, while the one in front is used to slow down the tracking of the mouse's input. The purpose for this is for those moments when you need your crosshairs to suddenly move slower in first-person shooters, such as when you switch to a sniper rifle or another weapon that requires slower tracking. Of course, all of these buttons can be customized to do whatever you'd prefer them to.
The next set of buttons can be accessed from my index finger. First, is the standard track wheel which offers a nice clicky feel to it when a track is initiated, and, as expected, it's clickable. To the left of my index finger are two additional buttons that tune the speed of the mouse's DPI sensitivity. By default, you can jump from 400, 800, 1600, 3200 and 4000 DPI on the fly, but those values, even the levels, can be customized to give you the amount of sensitivity you're looking for.
Even with all of its advanced sensors, the mouse feels lightweight and is easy to move across a number of textures which include a standard mouse pad, my glass desk and on my dining room table. As you'd expect, I felt more comfortable moving the mouse on top of a mouse pad since it was able to glide easily while also not moving too far as it would on a texture that didn't have any kind of fabric to hold it better.
The back of the mouse has Logitech's "G" logo on it, which is usually featured on the company's gaming peripherals. The 'G' has a 'breathing effect' that can be activated if you like, and you're able to set how frequently it pulsates, or remove it entirely. You can also choose to completely turn off the light of its logo, but where's the fun in that? A lighting sleeping time can also be set for those who don't want your mouse to drain any more energy than it needs to, especially if you won't be around for several hours.
How it performs
For this portion of my test, I played several games that included Hearthstone, Minimal, Gone Home, Team Fortress 2 and Wasteland 2. I wanted to get a broad range of games to play with the mouse rather than just focusing on playing first-person shooters, even though the G402 is geared towards those kind of games.
Since first-person shooters is where Logitech focused for the G402, I played those first on top of a standard mouse pad. The mouse performed exceptionally well while playing FPS games as I was able to quickly move my crosshairs exactly where I need it to go, and being able to tweak the DPI sensitivity on the fly without having to exit out of my game really helped when I needed it to. The track wheel was also easy to get to when I needed to access it in order to change my weapons or perform an additional command within the game.
One thing that really helped with my FPS sessions was the button located in front of where my thumb sits. When I was equipped with a sniper rifle, or if I wanted to attempt to get a headshot without having to zoom in, holding down on this button to suddenly drop my DPI to a crawl is really helpful.
When playing games that don't require all of the bells and whistles Logitech gave FPS players in the G402, such as Hearthstone and Wasteland 2, the mouse still felt very comfortable to use.I felt kind of guilty using a mouse like this for non-FPS games, although the additional buttons came in handy when playing RTS games, like Age of Empires, as it allows me to have more options for commands without having to resort to using the keyboard or a hotkey. I guess the same could be said for MOBA, MMO and any other game where you'd like to have quicker access to certain commands.
Software helping hardware
I know installing software from a peripheral's creator can lead many PC gamers to cringe just at the mere mention of it, but Logitech's Gaming Software didn't bog down my machine with any additional software that I didn't ask for in the first place.
For the G402, the software allowed me to control all of the hardware aspects I mentioned previously was configurable, including the lights on the mouse. All of the buttons can be configured either by your own preference, or through the software's ability to detect what games you currently have installed on your PC and recommending what mouse buttons and keys do what when you play. The Gaming Software even has a section to show just how improved the speed of the mouse is with all of the sensors turned on, which Logitech calls its 'Fusion Engine,' versus the mouse with just its optical sensor.
The G402 Hyperion Fury Gaming Mouse is a very good mouse that should serve as an introduction into the wonderful world of professional gaming mice. The G402 has some nice bells and whistles, has some slick aesthetics and is comfortable to use, but those who take their FPS gaming serious might want to splurge on something that can really take their game to the next level, such as Logitech's G502 or the Mad Catz R.A.T. 9.
This review is based on a unit provided by the manufacturer. The G402 is available in retail stores for $59.99.

What is the process to join the MFNSS?
First Nations who are interested in joining the MFNSS may forward a letter of interest to the Executive Director of the Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre Inc. (MFNERC). This will initiate the process of consultation and communication. The MFNERC will provide an information session to the First Nation upon the request of its leadership.
The process for joining the MFNSS is:
1) Submission of a letter of intent with a proposed time frame for implementation.
2) The First Nation will identify a representative(s) to engage in discussions with MFNERC.
3) Once an agreement has been reached between the First Nation and MFNERC, the First Nation shall submit a Band Council Resolution (BCR) to both MFNERC and INAC.
4) During the transition phase, MFNERC will conduct a human resource assessment, school facility audit, and education funding arrangement analysis.
5) The First Nation will sign a Delegation Agreement with MFNERC and INAC a minimum of nine months prior to the next academic year
What are the eligibility criteria?
Any First Nation that has an on-reserve school and/or a First Nation that administers their school is eligible
What is the opt-in process?
In order to establish stability within the MFNSS, each participating First Nation is required to join for a minimum of five years
What is the opt-out process?
At least 18 months prior to the expiration of the term, the parties involved will meet to discuss the process for non-renewal. This 18-month period will be necessary to ensure a smooth and orderly transition process to minimize the impacts on students and school programming
When did the MFNSS start managing and administering First Nations schools?
The MFNSS was established in July 2017 and has been responsible for managing and administering schools since the beginning of the 2017/18 academic year.
What is the governance structure of the MFNSS?
The MFNSS remains under the umbrella of MFNERC governance structure during Phase One. This will evolve as the system develops.
The MFNSS governance structure includes a Governance Model, which describes the roles and responsibilities of the partners, and the reporting/communication relationships.
What are the roles and responsibilities for the MFNSS?
The MFNSS's primary responsibility is to ensure students and schools have a high-quality and culturally appropriate education system that reflects the needs of the participating First Nations. The MFNERC Board establishes operating budgets and set policies. The System Director ensures all staff deliver education in a manner consistent with the policy.
The roles and responsibilities in the MFNSS Governance Model are:
MFNERC Board of Directors
The MFNERC Board continues to provide the overall governance and works with the System Director. They also communicate with the Local Advisory Representative(s) (LAR) through their Director of Education.
System Director
The System Director ensures the implementation of the policies and provides strategic direction for achieving goals. The System Director supervises the principals who are responsible for the day-to-day elements of school operations such as supervision of teachers and support staff, ordering equipment and supplies, and establishing timetables and schedules.
Local Advisory Representative(s) (LAR)
Each participating First Nation has the opportunity to identify a Local Advisory Representative(s) (LAR) using their own processes. The LAR is responsible for serving as a liaison with the System Director by providing advice and information.
The LAR may provide advice and information on:
- Programs, policies, procedures and activities;
- Human resources;
- School facility operation and maintenance;
- Short- and long-term priorities and planning; and
- Student transportation.
Who creates policies?
The MFNERC Board of Directors sets policy for the MFNSS. The policies include recommended guidelines and processes such as minimum number of days for instructional time, curriculum guidelines, and teacher certification.
How is the MFNSS model used by the federal government?
The federal government has provided resources for development and implementation of the MFNSS model. Other First Nations in Canada are developing their own models based on their own needs.
Will individual locally controlled schools receive provincial comparability in funding?
First Nations that manage and administer their own schools continue to operate based on INAC policies, guidelines and funding regimes for First Nations education. A new regional funding formula is being developed which may lead to enhanced levels of funding.
Does the MFNSS receive increased funding and resources for participating First Nation schools?
The MFNSS funding model provides increased funding and resources for participating First Nations schools. It is based on the provincial model for funding school divisions with enhancements for Private Home Placement, language and culture, transportation and other programs.
The MFNSS is responsible for managing all elementary and secondary education funding, including approving annual budgets and determining funding allocations.
What are the impacts for education funding for First Nations?
The MFNSS funding model has flexible funding for elementary and secondary education programs. This includes band employee benefits, instructional services, student supports, operations and maintenance, minor capital, and programming previously available through the INAC proposal-based programs such as New Paths, High Cost Special Education, and the First Nation Student Success Program.
Do First Nations have a say in how the education money is spent? Where does the money go?
Funding flows directly from INAC to the MFNSS, which administers the education funding for the participating First Nations schools. The local First Nations representatives are responsible for identifying the priorities of each school and seeking meaningful involvement of parents and community in providing input to the MFNSS.
The MFNSS is responsible for incorporating the local priorities as it continues to provide a high-quality education and strategies for school improvement using best practices for effective schools for First Nations students.
The MFNSS considers the local priorities in establishing operating budgets, setting education system policies, making decisions and ensuring that these decisions are implemented by the System Director.
Is there funding for language and culture programming in the MFNSS?
There is funding available for language and culture programming. First Nations have the option of either offering a First Nations language as a subject of instruction or a language of instruction for bilingual and immersion programs.
Do MFNSS schools follow the provincial curriculum?
The MFNSS follows the provincial curriculum while incorporating curriculum that addresses locally-identified needs and language and culture. The MFNSS provides additional supports to foster comparable education outcomes to allow for student transferability and to foster academic success in post-secondary studies.
How does the MFNSS plan to improve academic achievement and how does it measure student success?
The MFNSS is using enhanced supports and a performance measurement strategy to track, monitor and assess academic achievement. The MFNSS has analyzed current academic achievement data and is utilizing early intervention strategies and ongoing assessments to identify appropriate programming to meet student needs.

Headmaster Hurlbut Takes His Final Tartan Trot Lap
By Michelle Meeks, Tartan Trot Chair
The Lower School's annual Tartan Trot, themed "Take the Final Lap with Mr. Hurlbut" in honor of the Headmaster's last year at St. Margaret's, filled the Tartan Field with enthusiastic students, teachers and staff on April 19.
It was a beautiful warm day as the students entered the field through the Tartan tunnel and proceeded to line up in front of the bleachers where house league captains led the students in warm ups. Students were released to the track and away they went with much determination and excitement. Some of the Lower School teachers in their festive attire, as well as Mr. Hurlbut with his "grande" St. Margaret's flag joined in the fun. Parents stood along the track cheering, taking pictures, handing out cups of water and spraying the kids with a cool mist.
Click here for photo gallery.
On the Monday prior to the Tartan Trot, Upper School students Julianna Coleman and Brandon Price spoke in Chapel regarding their memories of the Tartan Trot when they were in Lower School, and their athletic experiences and commitment to being active and physically fit. The Lower School Student Council Green Team was also involved by selling green products on the day of the run.
This year, there were individual, class and house league incentives for students to earn donations from their family and friends who pledged to support the Parent Teacher Fellowship Booster Club. All of the students received a BPA-free water bottle for participation and a pedometer if they had three or more sponsors. Several classes earned lunch on the lawn by having 100 percent participation of three or more sponsors and Belmont House League earned free dress.
St. Margaret's Booster Club wishes to thank all of the administration, teachers, staff and parent volunteers involved in the Tartan Trot. Also, a very sincere thank you to all of the people who contributed financially to this important fundraiser benefiting St. Margaret's.

This is a TESWiki project reference page.
The complete list of available TESWiki shortcuts can be found at TES:LIST.
What is a TESWiki shortcut?Edit
"Shortcuts" in TESWiki are a specialized type of Redirection page that can be used to get to a TESWiki project reference page more quickly.
How to use TESWiki shortcutsEdit
A TESWiki shortcut can be entered into the TESWiki search box to quickly bring you to a reference page. It helps if you like the page or you are working on that page and it takes a long time to get to.
For example, you can type "TES:C" into the search box and click the "Go" button to get to the TESWiki "Copyrights" reference page, instead of having to type "The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Copyrights".
Alternatively, you can use the shortcut in the URL (web address). For example, you are currently viewing the The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Shortcut page in English. The URL is http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki:Shortcut. You could get from here to the The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Copyrights project reference page by replacing "The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Shortcut" with "TES:C" in the URL (web address) field (followed by "Enter").
Shortcuts are presented in all capital letters ("All-Caps"), but the search box is case-insensitive. For example, in the search box, you can type "tes:c" instead of "TES:C".
However, using the URL method typically requires that you match the capitalization of the shortcut.
TESWiki shortcut policyEdit
Reserved for TESWiki project reference pages (The Elder Scrolls Wiki: namespace) only.
Adding shortcut link boxesEdit
A shortcut link box (the "shortcut template") is added to the entry source ("Editing" page) using
For example, placing the shortcut template and substituting SHORT for <X> gives the template viewable at the top of the page: {{title-shortcut|TES:SHORT}}

Lisa's Sandwiches are So Good and Oh Boy I Can't Wait to Finally Come Back and Have Another One
It's currently 2:48 AM here in Florence and I can't sleep. I'm lying in bed next to Giovanni, arguably the most handsome man in my class, but still feel so unsatisfied despite our moonlit, passionate tryst. There was only one thing on my mind the whole time, and I feel that if I don't address it now it's just going to keep eating me up inside. I need to let everyone know how I feel about this blessing that the gods have bestowed upon Northwestern's campus -- this light in my life that keeps me going when all else goes awry which is usually most of the time if I'm being honest.
THE SANDWICHES FROM LISA'S ARE THE BEST THINGS TO EVER MEET MY LIPS. Seriously. If there's one thing I could always count on without fail, it's Lisa's perfect, unchanging sandwich menu being there to gift me with a warm, delicious sandwich made with love and the mayonnaise I never asked for but got anyway. All I do in Italian class is fantasize about the tangy yet sweet honey mustard that highlights the flavors of my perfectly peppered chicken and the way it drips ever so slightly from the corners of my mouth as I take the first succulent bite that still makes me quiver every single time. And all I do is think about the day I will finally be reunited with that reliable, everlasting menu.
My craving for Lisa's sandwiches is so strong that they're all I can ever think about here in Italy. Last weekend I went on a date with Lorenzo from my pasta-making class, who insisted he treats me to the three-star Michelin restaurant in the piazza. Thinking it would distract me from the emptiness I've been feeling inside without my beloved late-night sandwiches, I hesitantly agreed. When I got there, I saw no Savory Chicken and Cheddar sandwich on the menu and immediately collapsed as I wept. Couples around us looked at me and said something along the lines of "Chiudi il becco, puttana," which I didn't understand but assumed were words of empathy and felt somewhat comforted, but I still missed my sandwiches. The next day, Leonardo invited me to one of the best nightclubs in the city to cheer me up. Still upset, I said no and came to terms with the fact that the only Italian I wanted was the one on Lisa's menu, with extra salami and provolone cheese.
It is only Day 21 out of the 90 that I have left here abroad. That means only 1,656 hours left until I can FINALLY return to Northwestern and walk into the Lisa's I know so well, and experience the familiar flavors that somehow fill my mouth with delight as if it were the very first time that I tasted them.
I'm struggling here without my sandwiches, but I know the long wait will be worth it. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and though I've been gone, I know my sandwiches will be right there for me when I return.
In a life as unpredictable as mine is at the moment, I know I can always depend on Lisa's sandwich menu to always be there as my source of stability even when I'm halfway across the world. I'm on the cusp of a mental breakdown, but knowing that Lisa's sandwich menu will remain untouched and never tainted by something unthinkable (like wannabe Mexican food! Ha!) is literally the only thing keeping me sane here. A presto, miei panini!

Beard Today Gone Tomorrow/
Adam Plant went one step further than growing a mustache for Movember. Adam cultivated a beard from October 2012 to May 2013 to raise funds for the JTYAF. Adam's legendary beard raised an amazing £316.25 and he is pictured above, clean shaven, presenting his sponsor money to Pete Thornton.
Adam said that he intended to grow his beard even longer but he had to shave it off to be an usher at a friend's wedding.
Congratulations to Adam for raising such a fantastic amount, it will be a big help with awards this year.

The BBC, ITV and Sky have today written to the leaders of the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties with a joint proposal for three live televised debates during the next general election campaign.
The three broadcasters are proposing that each would be responsible for producing and broadcasting a single debate featuring the three party leaders.
Each of the three debates would be transmitted live by the originating broadcaster in peak time and made available to all other British broadcasters subsequently.
BBC News issued a statement this afternoon saying that the broadcasters have formed a joint team to discuss detailed plans with the political parties.
Each of the broadcasters will seek to make suitable arrangements for ensuring due impartiality across the UK, the BBC said.
Last month John Ryley, head of Sky News, revealed that his channel has written to the three party leaders offering to host such a debate saying: "The cameras will be rolling and anyone who doesn't show up better be ready to explain themselves to the public."
Conservative leader David Cameron and Liberal leader Nick Clegg both indicated that they would be willing to take part – Prime Minister Gordon Brown stalled on the issue.
Only this week did Brown indicate he had made up his mind about appearing on a televised debate. However, he would not reveal what that was, calling it: "a question which has got to be dealt with nearer the election".

hi. i connect 2 pc with Dlink switch i use automaticly and manually ip but cant connect each other.. i use 192.168.1.200,255.255.255.0 for 1st pc and 192.168.1.201,255.255.255.0 for 2nd pc but the result is same. no ping. when u use automatically it got 169.254.180.225 ip address .what is do..??
As far as I know, the ping is blocked by the windows firewall by default.
So first check whether the windows firewall settings are correct.
The original poster should always write the last response !!!
Let us know, if the problem is solved !!!
ye. i checkd but windows firewall of adaptor is disable already
firewall option is not highlighted.. its faded...
Ok, so you wrote, if you set ip configuration to automatic via DHCP, you get an ip address of 169.254.x.x. That means either, DHCP in the routers setup is not enabled, or, you are using the wrong cables.
Checked that?
The original poster should always write the last response !!!
Let us know, if the problem is solved !!!
no router = no dhcp server = 169.254.x.x ip
manually assign your ips as before which was correct. Then make sure the firewalls on both are disabled and try your ping again.
No ping could mean bad switch or bad cable(s)
thnks dear .. got the problem.. problem in my cable..now i connect each pc with network and internet via switch. i use bsnl ev-do usb wireless terminal for net. i connet 3 pc with that. using switch and ccproxy. Is that possible if i do not use ccproxy. can i use net on another pcs?

The Writer's Practice: Erika Robuck
Writer Erika Robuck works from her home office in Annapolis, Maryland. Three boys delivered to school, van parked in the driveway, she pours a mug of coffee, lights a candle, turns on classical music, and writes.
"My desk is an altar to all my muses," she told Spine. "I have pine cones from Concord, flowers from Key West." After spending a few hours on the creative part of the authoring process, Robuck turns to research, social media, and administrative tasks.
