Danae Rugola competed in the PIAA state golf championship for the third year in a row. She recently competed on October 22 and 23 in York, PA. She placed third on the first day and finished the tournament on day two in second place.
On the first day she told herself "Everything is going to be alright, just do what I know best". The only time Danae recalls being somewhat nervous is when she first teed off at the first hole. After that she relaxed and was on her game. She said before her match her goal was to do as best as she could. She was satisfied with how well she performed. She completed the first round and went out to the course to hit some off the tee to get a better feel of the course and how the wind was.
On the second day of the finals, Mr. Scott told her that on the last par of the 18th hole it will be her last hit as a golfer at the high school and her last game of golf played as a Uniontown High School student. She didn't pay much attention to his remark until she made her swing and she was done. Once people started to come around her and hug her saying " That was a good four years you did." Danae said she broke down crying because it was her last game that she will play during her high school years.
Watch our exclusive video with Danea prior to her state competition. Your UHS family wishes you the best as you continue your athletic and academic career.

NoW it is starting to hum! I've spent another 40 minutes of painting (soon to be edited down to the essential delivery mode in the DVD), and adding the lights on the focal areas really helps this painting along. Plus, I've added not only the waterfalls, but the greens of the trees along the shoreline. The painting has a bit too much blue at the top--due to my lights/camera interplay. But you can see that this one is progressing well, with a lot of textural nuance!
Ah, off to Santa Barbara tomorrow, to study with an aikido master, Donovan Waite. I am sure I'll learn a great deal, and nothing beats the ocean in summer and that incredibly romantic Santa Barbara! I will still post a daily painting, just will have a heck of a time figuring out how to do it!
However, you just KNOW my paints are going along with me!

Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the U.S. and one of our most popular services in Dr. Afridi's Manhattan office. Breast augmentation can give women with small or unevenly sized breasts a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned look through the placement of saline or silicone implants in the breast.
Dr. Afridi's patients elect to undergo breast augmentation for many different medical and aesthetic reasons, including balancing breast size, compensating for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery, and correcting a congenital breast defect. Under Dr. Afridi's expert care, patients enjoy great-looking, natural-feeling breasts that are one or more cup sizes larger after the operation.
Fully Customized Breast Enhancement
When you meet with Dr. Afridi for a breast augmentation consult in her New York City office, she will discuss the options and alternatives in great detail, providing you with all the information you need to make an informed decision that will satisfy your needs and expectations. Dr. Afridi offers all patients who qualify for breast augmentation the opportunity to "try on the look" during the initial consultation in order to help select the implant size that's right for them.
Complementary Procedures
Breast augmentation can achieve dramatic and beautiful results on its own as well as in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery or non-invasive procedures. Dr. Afridi sometimes recommends combining breast augmentation with other procedures such as a breast lift for more satisfying results.
Factors to Consider
Dr. Afridi believes there are four major variables to consider when planning breast augmentation surgery:
- Site of breast implant placement
- Site of the incision
- Type of implant
- Size of the breast implant
These are primarily dependent on the patient's preexisting breast shape and size, physical activity level and personal preference.
Breast Implant Placement Options
Implant placement beneath the muscle of the chest offers a few advantages over placement beneath the breast tissue only. These include reduced risk of capsular contracture (post-operative tightening around the implant) and less interference with mammogram examinations. Possible disadvantages include need for drainage tubes and elevated pain in the first few days following surgery. It is also difficult to achieve the same degree of midline cleavage with the implants under the muscle as compared to under the breast. In the case of patients with deflated breasts after pregnancy, implants under the muscle will not achieve the goal of filling the emptied-out breast as well as under the gland. Dr. Afridi will discuss which option may be best for you.
After the implants have been inserted and positioned beneath the nipples, the incisions are stitched closed, then taped and bandaged. In a few days, these bandages may be replaced with a surgical bra.
Implant type: Smooth round silicone, moderate profile
Implant size: 225cc
Placement: Subglandular (under the gland and on top of the pectoralis
Breast Augmentation Incision Techniques
The breast augmentation procedure in Dr. Afridi's New York City practice lasts one to two hours and is typically performed with general anesthesia. Incisions are made in inconspicuous places on the breast to minimize scar visibility. These may be located:
- In the armpit (transaxillary),
- In the crease on the underside of the breast (inframammary), or
- Around the areola, the dark skin around the nipple (periareolar).
The breast is then lifted, creating a pocket into which the implant is inserted.
Saline and Silicone Gel Breast Implants
Breast implants are silicone shells filled with either saline (salt water) or silicone gel. Both implant types are very safe, and each offers its own advantages. After many years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved silicone breast implants for breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Afridi is proud to offer patients the option of silicone gel-filled or saline breast implants. Each has its individual benefits. While silicone gel implants are much softer and feel more natural, saline implants have the benefit of requiring smaller incisions and can be adjusted during the surgery.
Dr. Afridi has extensive experience with both saline and silicone implants for breast augmentation. In particular, she completed her fellowship in breast surgery with physicians who were study investigators for silicone implants, and she trained in Canada, where silicone breast implants have been in limited use since 1999. Now that silicone implants have been approved in the U.S., Dr. Afridi is fortunate to be among those young plastic surgeons who already has experience in selecting the appropriate implant as well as placing them surgically. She is well-prepared to offer women this safe, soft, natural-feeling implant option.
Dr. Afridi will help you decide which kind of implant is right for you. During surgery, she'll place the implants behind each breast, underneath either breast tissue or the chest wall muscle.
Size of the Breast Implant
The size of the saline or silicone gel implants is as important as their placement, the material they are made of, and the incision technique(s) used to implant them. To help patients envision how their new implants would look and select the size that is right for them, Dr. Afridi encourages patients to "try on the look" during their breast augmentation consultation.
Recovery from Breast Augmentation Surgery
Most patients feel tired and sore after breast augmentation surgery, but this usually passes in a day or two. Many patients return to work within the week.
Stitches are removed in a week to 10 days after breast augmentation. Any post-operative pain, swelling and sensitivity will diminish over the first few weeks.
Scars from breast augmentation incisions will begin to fade in a few months and will continue to fade for months or years.
Complications following breast augmentation surgery are uncommon and usually minimal. They may include capsular contracture, swelling and pain, infection around the implant, a change in nipple sensation, milk production if you nursed a baby within a year before the procedure, and breakage or leakage of the implant (implant rupture) as a result of injury or the normal compression and movement of your breast.
If a saline implant ruptures, the implant will simply deflate in a few hours and your body will absorb the salt water. If a silicone implant leaks, you will need to see a doctor immediately. Regular monitoring of breast implants after breast augmentation is recommended to ensure continuing breast and implant health.
Revision Breast Augmentation
Dr. Afridi also performs revision breast augmentation for patients who are not satisfied with the size or shape of their breasts after a previous breast augmentation surgery. Some of the more common breast augmentation complications that Dr. Afridi can correct include:
Bottoming out (when bigger, heavier implants start to drift downwards and the nipples point up).
Implant palpability.
Symmastia (formation of a single breast when the implants drift together, causing the skin to separate from the breastbone).
Severe implant displacement.
Capsular contracture, distorting the breast shape and feel.

Red Writing
Designer focus on today's styling from t.i.a.f. with this Gucci-printed midi skirt. It may be a simple pairing but I think it's effective and a nice combination of different pieces all themed on red. I like this stylish look for the casual puffa jacket, and I think the wide open neckline in this look is very effective and is quite eye-catching. Plus it draws attention to the big hoop earring used and the cool spiked hairstyle chosen. These ankle booties definitely get my 'thumbs up', this is a fab way to show them off and I like the little bit of ankle on display below the skirt hem.

Double mastectomy may not be best choice for survival, study says
Double-mastectomy trend grows, but lesser treatment is shown to be as effective
Women diagnosed with early-stage cancer in one breast are increasingly choosing to have both breasts removed to reduce their chances of getting cancer again, but they'll likely have no better chance at long-term survival than those who had a far less invasive lumpectomy followed by radiation, researchers said Tuesday.
Researchers at Stanford University and the Cancer Prevention Institute of California in Fremont reached the conclusion after taking the largest and perhaps most comprehensive look at the survival rates for the most common surgical choices for early-stage breast cancer: double mastectomy, a single mastectomy and lumpectomy followed by radiation.
"We thought we'd maybe see some survival benefit with bilateral mastectomy, particularly in younger women," said Dr. Allison Kurian, assistant professor of health research and policy at Stanford and lead author of the study. "We looked and looked, and saw no difference there."
The findings support research dating back to the 1990s even as the rate of bilateral, or double, mastectomies has increased substantially in recent years.
For their study, the researchers relied on data from the California Cancer Registry, which involved nearly 190,000 cases or virtually every woman in California diagnosed with one cancerous tumor in a single breast between 1998 and 2011. More than half were treated with lumpectomies, which involve removing just the tumor and surrounding tissue.
The study showed the rate of bilateral mastectomies rose from 2 percent of all patients in 1998 to 12.3 percent in 2011, an increase most pronounced in younger white women. In that group, the percentage of patients younger than 40 choosing to have both breasts removed skyrocketed from 3.6 percent in 1998 to 33 percent in 2011.
Not sure why
Physicians and researchers aren't exactly sure why more women are having double mastectomies, but they say that anxiety about getting a second cancer, improvements in reconstruction surgeries and concern about breast symmetry may play a role. Younger women are more likely to have a more aggressive disease, which may also be a factor in a decision.
While the risk of getting a second breast cancer is slightly higher in someone who has already been diagnosed with the disease, Stanford's Kurian said the risk is still very low. She acknowledged that peace of mind may be a powerful force, but that the potential complications of a more aggressive surgery should be considered.
"On some level, they don't care how low their risk is, but they want to do whatever is possible to obliterate their possibility of getting another cancer," she said.
It's the spread of disease - not a new primary tumor - that causes breast cancer deaths, she noted. "Still, in the back of some people's minds is the idea that this may help them live longer. We just don't see evidence of that."
Study is reassuring
For Roxanne Sager of Rodeo, the study helped reassure her of her decision to have a lumpectomy when she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in 2006.
"If it were going to make a difference in my outcome, I would have totally had a mastectomy," said Sager, who was 52 when she was diagnosed and is now cancer-free. "(The study) makes me feel better ... but I would have done whatever."
Sager said she opted for the less invasive surgery because the location of her tumor made it difficult to ensure they removed not only the tumor but the surrounding area with either surgery, so she was advised to have chemotherapy no matter what she decided.
Cheryl Ziperstein of Albany made a different decision eight years ago. While her cancer had spread to at least one lymph node, it was still early stage and confined to one breast. But she opted for a double mastectomy.
'I felt more secure'
"I knew in my core there was not compelling evidence to support the bilateral, but I felt more secure," said Ziperstein, 63, who directs the patient services program for the American Cancer Society. She said chest radiation for an earlier, unrelated cancer also played a role in her choice.
Ziperstein noted the decision by actress Angelina Jolie to have both breasts removed because of a genetic mutation that greatly increased her chances of getting cancer, helped "normalize" decisions by women to opt for a double mastectomy. "It's such an emotional decision that even the science, as good as it is and compelling as it is, may not be enough to sway people," she said.
Despite Tuesday's report, Scarlett Lin Gomez, the study's senior author, said women with a strong family history of breast cancer, or BRCA or other genetic mutations that predispose them to the disease, may make bilateral mastectomy an effective choice for treatment or as a preventive measure.
In a finding surprising to Gomez and other researchers, the study found women who opted to remove one breast - a unilateral mastectomy - had slightly lower survival rates than women who chose the other options. The study does not explain why, but the data show these women are more likely to be a racial or ethnic minority, have lower socioeconomic status and be diagnosed with other health problems.
More research needed
Gomez, a research scientist at the Cancer Prevention Institute of California, said more research needs to be done to answer that question as well as to look more deeply into the reasons for patients' decisions.
"The study is not to say don't have a bilateral mastectomy. This is one piece of evidence to add to the larger discussion," Gomez said. "It's important physicians discuss all the pros and cons with their patients. Psychological considerations, whether driven by fear and anxiety, may be just as important as the data we have here."
Key breast cancer study findings
A study published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association looked at virtually every California woman diagnosed with one cancerous tumor in a single breast between 1998 and 2011. The study found:
-- Of the 189,734 women in the study, 55 percent received a lumpectomy with follow-up radiation, 38.8 percent chose a unilateral mastectomy and 6.2 percent opted for a double mastectomy.
-- No difference in long-term survival between those who chose a double mastectomy or lumpectomy followed by radiation. The study did find, however, a slightly higher death rate among women who chose mastectomy in one breast.
-- A recent increase in the number of women opting for double mastectomies. Overall, the percentage among all women increased from 2 percent in 1998 to 12.3 percent in 2011, but nearly a third of white women younger than 40 received bilateral mastectomies in 2011.

TRAVEL: So much more than sandstone monuments
If you are thinking of planning to visit any of the national parks, I'd like to suggest Arches National Park in eastern Utah.
Arches National Park is a treasure trove of otherworldly sites. There are more than 2,000 red-colored sandstone spires and massive arches within the park's 76,679 acres. Hundreds of websites can instruct you on how best to "do" the park — which arches to see first; what times are best for photography purposes; or which hikes are hard or easy. I'd like to share with you why to go.
I've been through the park twice, allowing a full day each time to explore. The first time I went, my friends had opted for a canyoneering day. I was recovering from an ankle injury, so I decided to do Arches on my own.
Once through the park's main gates, there is a steep and winding incline that leads to a terrain that will amaze visitors on many levels.
I thought this day trip was going to be purely a "check the arches off the list" kind of day, taking the appropriate selfies in front of the popular and noteworthy arches. The park, it seems, had other ideas.
My first stop was simply alongside the completely vacant road in the early morning stillness. There was not a soul on the road in either direction, giving me a prime photo opportunity. I looked around and the first thing that struck me was the coolness of the air on my skin as I walked in the shade. Then, I noticed the absolute silence completely surrounding me. In the stillness of that moment, I also caught the sweet freshness of the high desert air. I hadn't even hiked to an arch and the park was already treating me to some of the secret magic of this place for those willing to slow down and experience it.
I did hike most of the sections of the park that day, but one small and uneventful hike to a lesser known arch ended up holding the most memorable moments for me.
I parked at the trailhead that leads to the Sandstone Arch and further on, the Broken Arch. The easy stroll to Sandstone Arch turned out the be the gem of the day. A grassy trail gave way to a mix of sand and scrub, leading me to what seemed like a secret passage through tall and narrow sandstone spires.
I could actually smell the dampness of the sand in the coolness of the shade. As I steadied myself on either side of the narrow path, my hands got to feel the dichotomy in the textures of the spires. I was surprised at how both smoothness and sandiness can exist in the same touch. After emerging into the open area behind the spires, the actual Sandstone Arch is modest compared to the other arches in the park. For me, it held some of the best experiences the park had to offer by engaging all my senses in the getting to it and seeing it.
If the excitement and curiosity of the arches is what gets you to Arches National Park, make sure you slow down enough to discover some of its more subtle delights that involve all of your senses. This is why the park is so much more than just a bunch of arches.

The second book in Fran Wilde's award-winning Bone Universe trilogy is coming out in paperback today. This gives thrifty readers a chance to catch up before the third book, Horizon, is release on September 26!
Email us to order your copy of Cloudbound.
After the dust settles, the City of living bones begins to die, and more trouble brews beneath the clouds in the companion to the Andre Norton Award-winning novel Updraft.
"A thrilling and complex tale about the most difficult stage of a revolution: what do you do after you win? Highly recommended both for the story it tells as well as how it tells that story. Wilde takes risks that pay off hugely." ―Ken Liu, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of The Grace of Kings
The Towers are in disarray, without a governing body or any defense against the dangers lurking in the clouds, and daily life is full of terror and strife. Nat Densira, the wing-brother to Kirit (Skyshouter, Spirebreaker, no-longer-of-Densira) sets out to be a hero in his own way―sitting on the new Council to cast votes protecting Tower-born, and exploring lower tiers to find more materials to repair the struggling City.
But what he finds down-tier is more secrets―and now Nat will have to decide who to trust, and how to trust himself without losing those he holds most dear, before a dangerous myth raises a surprisingly realistic threat to the crippled City, in Cloudbound.

Kearney, NE. – Tri-City Storm defenseman Hugo Blixt announced his commitment to Boston University earlier today. Blixt becomes the nineteenth player on the Storm's current roster to announce a college commitment.
Hugo Blixt, 19, from Vasteras, Sweden, was selected 64th overall in the 2017 USHL Draft by Tri-City. He currently has three goals and nine assists for the Storm this season. Blixt has skated in nineteen of the Storm's twenty games played. He is among the USHL leaders for points scored by a defenseman.
"My goal was to earn a college scholarship this season. Boston has a tremendous team, great coaching staff, and I liked it right away. I felt that this was the best fit for me in my college career. Boston University is an elite academic institution and a place where I will enjoy my life outside of the rink. Being comfortable outside of the rink and in the classroom were both important factors in my decision making process. It has been a long journey for me, and I would like to thank my old coaches and teammates back in Sweden for helping me get here. I would also like to thank the Tri-City Storm organization for giving me the opportunity to play here. Finally, I would like to thank my family who have been there to support me all of the way"- Tri-City Storm defenseman Hugo Blixt
Boston University has one of most accomplished college hockey programs in the nation. The Terriers have made twenty two Frozen Four appearances and have won 5 NCAA National Championships.

Though I've never " gone without " in my lifetime
or now, have many houses or cars to call my very own
I am blessed, yet , in all the things I've been given
and, its all because of Jesus Christ, alone.
He has given me such abundance
with every thing that I might ever need
while showing me how to walk in faith and trusting
while my faith grows stronger than a tiny mustard seed.
Yes, my God is a God of blessings
He teaches me about His abundant Love
And while He showers me with His Kindness
He also lets me know, all I have, comes from Him above.
So when I think I need more provision
and I feel life's ends will never meet
I know our Lord is my Jehovah Jireh
and all I have to do is leave my prayers at Jesus' feet
And He will hear my prayers in asking
while listening for my praise to reach his heart
and when I acknowledge that He is my Great Provider
it 's then His awesome blessings will then begin to start.
That's when His love, and joy comes flowing
when peace settles deep into my heart and soul
and going without the things I think I need
reminds me, that only Jesus will make me full.
Yes, my God is a God of Blessing
Oh how He provides such deep abundant Love
And while He showers me with Riches of His Glory
His Fullness lets me know what Heaven will be like up above.

h0t pr3gn@nt @cti0|\| !!!1!
not long after announcing to the world that the wife was pregnant, we received the expected hosannas and congrats and enormous cash gifts. there was the usual speculation over how gorgeous our child will be, especially given how really very handsome i am. but this one observation is what best exemplifies how my degenerate friends and i tend to think: "wow, this means that now you get to have sex with a pregnant woman." awww, yeah.
without impugning the unimpugnable virtues of mrs nice guy, this friend's observation has indeed -- with the help of prostrations, pillows and pulleys -- proven true. all in good fun.
or is it?!?!
it turns out -- not that either of us would have any first hand experience with anything so tawdry -- that not only does sex make babies, it also causes said babies to attempt escape. yes, sex in pregnancy (not that we've ever done anything so disgusting, mind you) is perfectly fine and dandy and safe for your baby. but when the woman is at term -- which for us will be on thursday, thanks for asking and holy shit -- sex can trigger labor.
here's the other thing sex during pregnancy do: trigger false labor. false labor is your baby's way of saying "hello, i'll be your child and the process of my fucking with you begins ... now." i won't be so crass as to divulge what triggered it, but mrs nice guy actually had a bout of the false labor the other day. this is also known as braxton-hicks contractions, which, according to allaboutmoms.com ...
can truly be as painful as real labor and make it even harder to distinguish the difference between the two ... Real labor will persist and will not be persuaded to go away. However, if you are in doubt, contact your health care provider.first of all, i love the idea that contractions can be persuaded to go away. psst, hey, painful uterine muscle spasm, i'll give you a new watch if you bugger off. anyway, we were able to ascertain that these were indeed braxton doohickies, and not the real deal. which is nice, because i had a lovely afternoon planned that did not entail the miracle of life. no. (the miracle of beer, on the other hand, yes.) so, it's nice that these contractions are so easily dissuadable. note to self: next time she has them, tell mrs nice guy to simply persuade the labor pains to go away. honey, these contractions? they're all in your head.
at the very least this was a good dress rehearsal. i think it went well: mrs nice guy walked around like a trooper, breathing heavily and saying "oof" and "ugh" and "i am never having sex with you again ever never." i strolled beside her, stroking her hair and cooing sweetly into ears, "you're doing great baby" and "are you going to eat the rest of your bagel?" obviously, we're naturals.
(ps: ... HOLY CRAP SHE REALLY IS GOING TO HAVE A BABY!)

The perfect party dress
It was my Grandma's 90th birthday party a couple of weeks ago and so I went in search of a little party dress for Bella. I thought the dress would also get some wear over Christmas too. You may remember me pondering over which dress to pick on my instagram stories.
I really struggled to find something that fits the bill: cute, classic, comfortable with a little bit of sparkle. With this in mind I thought I would put together a little post with the best of what I have found online. I have to say Monsoon feature heavily below simply because they really hit the nail on the head particularly in the 'Floral' and 'Silk' sections. Having said that they're not particularly affordable so I have found some cheaper options too, with a couple of real treats thrown in if you really want to blow the budget!
At Christmas the retailers assume every female in the country wants to cover themselves in sequins and sparkles. Personally it's not a choice I would make for myself, but on a little girl...that's a different story. I chose this navy M&S number it is currently out of stock but all three colours have dropped in and out of stock over the last week or so (pink and red). There were also some in my two local stores. I felt it was classic enough with a little sparkle around the bottom. Being velvet also ensured Bella was comfy. See below some more options if you want to bring the bling to the party (Obviously I don't expect ANYONE to buy the D&G one but I thought it was so amazing everyone should see it).
Tartan dresses hold special a place in my heart as it was often a print of choice for my mum when she was dressing me and my sister. I think they are a really sweet look around the festive period, especially in red (cliche I know).
A lot of people assume florals are just for spring / summer but I love a floral print in winter. I will often pick a dark floral dress for myself so I would more than likely do the same for Bella. The perfect choice to bring a bit of colour to the festivities.
Tulle skirts have become a huge trend in ladies fashion and they have become even more popular with girls' fashion. I think it's the idea of them looking like a little tutu? Or maybe that's my childhood obsession with being a Ballerina??
Silk / Satin / Taffeta
Finally the most traditional and probably my favourite style of party dress for a little girl. I love this look, and in a couple of years I hope to be dressing Bella in styles like the below - once she has stopped spilling food all over everything....although if she's anything like me that may never end! Monsoon feature heavily in this section, they do an amazing job at this style of dress. If I had I not left it so last minute I might have ordered one of the below for Bella.
When buying something like a party dress try and keep in mind what accessories / tights / shoes you have that will go with the dress you pick. If you have to buy new versions of all those items the cost will add up! Read more about how I 'shop smart' for Bella here.
Let me know if any other hidden gems in terms of girls party dresses! X


text: AimPositive outcomes for paediatric rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) were high in Sweden during the 1990s, but the last decade has seen decreasing trends in overall survival rates. We investigated the incidence, patient and disease characteristics, treatment and outcome of RMS to see whether any reason could be found for this decline. MethodsThis study included 210 children under the age of 15 who were diagnosed with RMS and whose details were recorded in the population-based Swedish Childhood Cancer Registry from 1984 to 2010. ResultsThe overall annual incidence of RMS was 4.9 per million, and the 5-year overall survival rates were 59 7% in 1984-1989, 78 +/- 5% in 1990-1999 and 71 +/- 5% in 2000-2010. When patients with localised disease were analysed separately, there was no difference in the 5-year survival rates between 1990 and 1999 (82 +/- 5%) and 2000-2010 (81 +/- 5%), but the outcome in 1984-1989 (53 +/- 8%) was significantly worse. The prevalence of metastatic disease was unexpectedly high during 2000-2010 (28%, p = 0.010), compared to an overall mean of 18% for the whole study period. ConclusionOur results suggest that a higher rate of metastatic disease may explain the declining trend in overall survival rates in paediatric RMS in Sweden over the last decade.

2018 CNY Arts Grants Award Ceremony
By: Ben Verdi, Arts Leadership Fellow
On May 31st, CNY Arts gave out $384,500 in arts regrants to young artists, arts organizations and individual artists all across Central New York. The ceremony was attended by over 220 artists, the CNY Arts staff, board members and New York State Legislators or their representatives at the Doubletree Hotel in Syracuse. The awards were given out for the Young Artist Scholarships, the Decentralization Program and Tier Three Support Projects. And while it is easy to discuss how great it is that many talented individuals in the area now have money to pursue their projects, the aspect of the night that struck me were the words spoken by Senator John DeFrancisco.
The Senator discussed howthat, despite not necessarily be funded, people, especially the young artists, should pursue the arts in their lives. If they have the talent, they should go for, as Senator DeFrancisco joked, they shouldn't necessarily listen to their parents about pursuing their dreams in the arts, especially when his own daughter did exactly that and is a successful actor in Hollywood. The Senator also told a story of a young man who met with legendary jazz pianist, the late David Brubeck. And while the story was a great example of how talented youth from Central New York can have encounters with individuals that famous and revered, it also reminded me of why organizations like CNY Arts exists; to enable and allow artists to keep going forward with their talents, where they otherwise could not.
While the money awarded at the ceremony was tremendous and great, it was a nice reminder for me for why I take pride in working for CNY Arts; making the arts a possible path for those that want to do so. It should not be a 'path less taken' for a selective few but a reliable option for all to undertake, which is made possible by organizations like CNY Arts. To all of the young artists, organizations and individual artists, this a reminder that everyone has the potential to pursue a career to the arts.
Another great aspect of the ceremony was the atmosphere of it all; one of importance for awarding money to these individuals and organizations but an atmosphere of hospitality and genuine community. People had fun at the event, on top of receiving money for their grant checks, and it was a palpable mood throughout the evening. People thoroughly enjoyed themselves because of the appearance of legislators, the ability to meet and greet before and after the event and, most importantly, it was a night to celebrate the artists and groups dedicated to continuing the arts, with or without funded grants.
It was, for me, a great night; finally meeting people I was emailing with for the past few weeks, saying hello to people I have known for a while and just being around these people in my new role. It was an awesome night to experience so early on in my tenure as an Arts Leadership Fellow and I hope I can experience another award ceremony like this soon!

Olinda is an amazingly beautiful and brightly colorful town located north from the Recife metropolitan area in Brazil. The region is famous for its paradise beaches with coral reef pools (see my post here). But apart from the natural wonders, you can also find such architectural gems as the little town of Olinda here. Although Olinda receives many tourists, hardly ever any of them is from abroad. People know only about Rio when asked about Brazil. And there's so much to discover! Take a look at the beautiful photos from Olinda and don't miss it during your trip in the north of Brazil.
How to get to Olinda
As it is a popular destination, it's not difficult to get there. Olinda is situated only around 10 km (6 miles) from Recife - the capital city of Pernambuco state. There are numerous buses that you can take from central Recife and the journey will not take more than 30 minutes. If you're a foreigner, a great option is Uber - it's handy, fast and very reliable in Brazil. It's also way cheaper than taxis. The 20 minute ride will cost you around 5 USD.
What to see in Olinda
Olinda is such a tiny town that it is possible to walk around all of it in a couple of hours. Here, I marked all the places worth noting.
Best views of Recife and the coast
Olinda offers the best views of the Atlantic coast as well as of the neighboring city of Recife with the thick forest of tightly packed skyscrapers contrasting with the perfectly flat, smooth ocean. Number 1 on the map shows Alto Da Se - the viewing platform with a lift from where you can admire a panoramic view over the whole town - the sights are so nice - the most important points and churches of Olinda and colorful houses surrounded by tropical flora can be seen from here. And what's best - it's free!
It is pretty mesmerizing to see how many beautiful, typical for the Portuguese colonial architecture churches are in Olinda. Just like the entire town, the churches are pretty much run down, rough and a bit weathered - some parts seem to beg for renovation. However, this gives the city the authentic old vibe - which I really like. Maybe even more than the absolutely perfect, polished town. It makes the place you're visiting less boring and it feels more historical.
The most famous church - the landmark of Olinda, of which the perfect view you can admire from the platform is the cathedral of St. Savior of the World (number 2 on the map) dating back to the 16th century (now reconstructed). Another two sacred buildings can also be easily visible from the Alto da Se - San Francisco Convent and Church of Our Lady of Carmel (Igreja do Carmo - also 16th century) - number 3 and 4 on the map.
Two other churches worth noticing - not visible from the platform are Misericordia Church (you can see in on the way to the colorful, historical street of Largo do Amparo) and the Monastery of St. Benedict (number 5 and 6 on the map) which is located south from the Church of Our Lady of Carmel.
Farol de Olinda - The lighthouse
The Olinda lighthouse (number 7 on the map) is the second oldest in Pernambuco state (opened in 1872). However, the modern tower - as you can see it now dates back to 1941. The lighthouse has distinctive white and black stripes. It's a landmark of Olinda and can be perfectly seen from the platform with the beautiful background of the ocean.
Amparo Largo
This not to be missed district (number 8 on the map) of the historical center boasts the most beautiful, extremely colorful old houses. You can find nice cafes, restaurants and something original here. On the roofs of some houses there are bronze statues of women. The bright colors give the town the typical Latino American vibe here. Very lively and pleasant to just be around and take a little walk.
Of course, Rio is the most famous place when it comes to carnival, however, in Olinda you can get the more local feeling (especially in Amparo Largo) and party like the local do. When we visited Olinda, the local people were preparing the streets for the carnival and some houses had statues in them which were later used for the parade. Very interesting to see it from behind the curtain.
If you love little, cozy towns full of the local vibe and not destroyed by international tourism - Olinda is a must-see addition to your adventure in Northern Brazil.
Brazil has more towns like this - they are as exceptional as amazing as their European equivalents, however, they are virtually unknown to foreigners. Find out about other incredible Brazilian towns similar to Olinda in the Related Posts section below.

The marriage between the US Navy and the US Marine Corps is well documented. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection, using the mobility of the United States Navy to rapidly-deliver combined-arms task forces on land, at sea and in the air. It has been a component of the U.S. Department of the Navy since 1834, working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics.
The USMC operates posts on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world, and several of the Marines' tactical aviation squadrons, primarily Marine Fighter Attack squadrons, are also embedded in Navy carrier air wings and operate from the Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. And this is just part of the story. Bottom line is, these two services are a deadly combination, like this 2016 footage demonstrate.
Do you think the USMC should ever a separate department from the US Navy? Sound off and share your opinions and comments in the section below.

Executive program, based on academic research & case studies
Preparing innovation leaders and top management teams for sustainable innovation:
How can leaders deal with the complexities and challenges of constant change? The work of senior leaders often involves the entrenchment of paradoxes in organization strategy, yet they are frequently ill-prepared to deal with the resulting paradoxical demands. Gaia Grant's latest doctoral research reveals how understanding individual, team and organisation 'Paradoxical Innovation Orientations' (PIOs) can assist with strategic alignment and enable ambidexterity. Drawing from thousands of survey responses, multiple interviews with heads of innovation and a deep dive immersion into one organisation over a year – along with her consulting work with organisations over 30 years – Gaia shares about how successful leaders can effectively utilise the tensions between 'fixed' and 'future' mindsets to fuel sustainable development and growth. The rare insights combine rigorous academic research with practical business experience to equip leaders to prepare a culture for innovation implementation. The significance of senior teams and the need for strategic alignment.
For many years people have believed that innovation is about by being open and taking risks. Risk takers like Steve Jobs have been venerated for their innovation accomplishments, and cutting edge companies like Google appear to be leading in the 'innovation race' due to their 'open' strategies. Yet Gaia Grant's research– has revealed that most leaders and organisations today have only half the story right. Few are set up for long term survival. This session is identifies the unlikely paradoxical elements needed to be 'fit for the future'. This session dives deeper into the 4 key innovation 'Paradox Pairings' and the 'Innovation Change Leader (iCLi) Profiling tool. This session can also be delivered as business facilitation- for a live group of leaders needing to explore these issues in real time.
Key benefits & takeaways:
- Challenges popular perspectives on 'innovation winners'
- Gaia's research from interviews with more than 70 global innovation leaders and surveys with more than 1,000 has revealed that most contemporary organisations have only half the story right.
- Through the unusual 'monk and mobile' perspective, the session reveals unique research findings on how to fuel innovation through successfully navigating 4 key innovation 'Paradox Pairings'.
Reflection on the company applications:
- Charting the org: Identifying current positions, roles and points of tension
- Polar Positioning: Mapping exercise to comparing current and desired state
- Modelling: Understanding the iCi and iCLi models and how to apply them. Aligning specific roles with individual biases and preferences.
- Action plans: Goal setting and action planning based on the findings of the facilitated session

ADDIS ABABA – South Sudan's government and rebels on Thursday signed a cease-fire agreement, pledging to halt fighting within 24 hours and end five weeks of bitter conflict that has left thousands dead.
The agreement was signed in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa by representatives of South Sudan's President Salva Kiir and rebel delegates loyal to ousted vice president Riek Machar, and was greeted by cheers from regional peace brokers and diplomats.
US President Barack Obama, whose country provided crucial backing on South Sudan's path to statehood, described the deal as "a critical first step toward building a lasting peace."
Mediators from the East African regional bloc IGAD, which has been brokering the peace talks, said the deal will put in place a verification and monitoring mechanism for the truce and allow unrestricted access to aid workers.
South Sudan's government also agreed to free 11 officials close to Machar who were detained after fighting between rival army units broke out on December 15, although no timeline for their release was given.
The status of the detainees had been a major sticking point in the talks and Obama stressed that their participation would be "critical" to any future dialogue.
The fighting has been marked by atrocities committed by both sides, and more than half a million people have been forced from their homes during a wave of ethnic violence in the impoverished nation.
Aid workers and analysts believe up to 10,000 people have died.
"These two agreements are the ingredients to create an environment for achieving a total peace in my country," said Taban Deng, head of the rebel delegation.
He said he hoped the deal would "pave the way for a serious national political dialogue aiming at reaching a lasting peace in South Sudan," the world's newest nation, which only won independence from Khartoum in 2011.
Government negotiator Nhial Deng Nhial said the talks, which have been dragging on in a luxury hotel for three weeks, were "not easy."
"We hope to be able to make haste towards an agreement that will end bloodshed," he said, but voiced scepticism over the ability of the rebels, comprising renegade army units, ethnic militia and ordinary civilians, to stop the violence.
"What worries us is whether the agreement on the cessation of hostilities will stick (and) the capacity of the rebel group... to stop fighting," he added. "We would like to take this opportunity to urge the rebel group to heed the voice of reason and abandon the quest for political power through violence."
Obama stressed that "South Sudan's leaders need to work to fully and immediately implement the agreement and start an inclusive political dialogue to resolve the underlying causes of the conflict."-- AFP

Bad odor emanating from me without me knowing it
Created February 12, 2013 at 10:18 AM
This problem is having a very significant and painful effect on my life. I have been diagnosed with SIBO but I don't know if that's the cause of this. The smell gets worse or more noticeable for people surrounding me after I have eaten something. This effect seems to last at least for 2+ hours after my initial bite.
In an effort to fix the problem, I have adopted the the SCD diet and have strictly adhered to it for the past 2 months. I also make sure to consume at least 2 cups of homemade SCD yogurt along with taking 60mg of Erythromycin at night to restore and/or enhance the cleansing peristalsis waves of the small intestine (read about it in Dr. Pimentel's book).
In the past, I have experimented around with antibiotics and have noticed that I get significantly lower feedback from people while I'm taking Cipro; however the problem returns soon after getting off of it.
While, I sometimes feel that the problem has been reduced after getting on the SCD, I'm still having issues with it. Can anybody give me suggestion or feedback?

March Leadership Development
Hey, friends...in case you missed the last Leadership Development, here are the basics. The topic was leading in difficult dynamics. We brainstormed a list of challenging group dynamics, covered a few basic principles (here are the notes - Dynamics worksheet - with notes), then spent the rest of the time discussing specific dynamics around tables and sharing our best thoughts with each other. Here are a few practical take aways that surfaced:
- For the over-talker - focus their energy by asking them to help others engage in the discussion (give them something to do other than share their thoughts)
- For sporadic attendance - ask people to own part of the agenda or provide something particular for the group so that they have a stronger reason to show up
- For child care - rotate a different adult with the kids every 15 minutes so that no one misses too much of the group time and the kids are always supervised
These are just a few of the great ideas that surfaced from the table discussions. If you're facing a difficult dynamic in your group, I encourage you to talk with your coach or other leaders and get their ideas and input. There are solutions out there!
p.s. - you can always call (402-938-1562) or email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) too!

Big Drums: These are the larger drums that do not fall in the Taiko family. Many of them include large, deep and booming sounds, but others are more complex in nature. There are some real gems in here from Mickey´s magical warehouse of one of a kind hand drums. Highlights in the epic genre here are The Beast, Double Headed Tree Drum, Lord Of Toms Ensemble and Dragon Ensemble.
Gongs Clocks Waterphones: These instruments provide the iconic sounds of several gongs and waterphones, some played underwater! The "Clockworks" patches are the result of Nicks field recordings in 6 antique clock shops.
Metals: This group includes bells, deep bowls, chimes, and cymbals collected by Mickey on his world travels. Some are well known like the Brazilian berimbau (which is played on a metal wire), others are unusual, such as hammered copper pots and handmade doorstop drums.
Shakers: The instruments in this group include several made from naturally occurring objects, such as snake rattles, seed pods, and deer hoofs, in addition to the more common ganza, modern shakers and Mickeys mighty rainsticks. Playability here is key.
Small Drums: Here you´ll find a very large collection of smaller drums. Some have names you´re probably familiar with, such as bongos, frame drums, and tambourines. But there are so many others that will surprise and delight you. Many of the Indian drums in this category are particularly special, such as the tuned tablas and madal. Performance techniques are stellar.
Taiko Family: This collection includes taiko drums ranging from huge to small. Many of the sampled instruments came from the collections of Mickey Hart and Remo to create a wide variety of sounds. Others came from the top taiko builders in Japan. They are played both individually and in ensembles. This is the Holy Grail of taiko samples. Finally.
Woods: In this group you´ll hear unpitched sounds from wooden resonators; tuned chromatic instruments, such as a gourd marimba and a balaphone; the mighty gourd drum, a playable 12 ft. long redwood tree branch and wonderful scraped sounds, such as the Thailand frogs.
All things considered, SD3 is an impressive package, and a music tool that will grace many Hollywood soundtracks for years to come.
"We've never come across a more expansive collection of massively multisampled drums"
ComputerMusic review StormDrums3
The following reviews have been placed by customers who also bought this product from us. All reviews are provided through eKomi, Europe's largest independent customer review company.
Great sounding samples! Suitable for any kind of music production, from epic cinematic soundtracks, epic trailers to pop, jazz, etc. Imagination is your only limit with this percussion library! Best value for money for sure!
I like SD2 and the successor to the fabulous library is also quite good. Audio quality is fine and professional and it has a broad range of goodies. But if you look for a big bang percussion you should go to other libraries like Heaviocity stuff. There is only one patch for big Hollywood percussive sounds. Most instruments are generic percussions for standard use rather than exclusively cinematic big sounding percussions. So that is the one thing I thought this library is short of. This is Storm drums library but this time there is not much storm. And I found the every patch's output level is set too low. I think it's not proper level setting of samples, though basically most samples are recorded in good quality. All in all, SD3 is not as impressive as SD2 but still it's highly usable, fine library to own.

PLEASE NOTE: This document applies to v0.9 version and not to the latest release v1.0Documentation for other releases can be found by using the version selector in the left bottom of any doc page.
OpenShift adds a number of security and other enhancements to Kubernetes. In particular, security context constraints allow the cluster admin to define exactly which permissions are allowed to pods running in the cluster. You will need to define those permissions that allow the Rook pods to run.
Rook Privileges
To orchestrate the storage platform, Rook requires the following access in the cluster:
- Create
hostPathvolumes, for persistence by the Ceph mon and osd pods
- Run pods in
privilegedmode, for access to
- Host networking for the Rook agent and clusters that require host networking
- Ceph OSDs require host PIDs for communication on the same node
Security Context Constraints
Before starting the Rook operator or cluster, create the security context constraints needed by the Rook pods. The following yaml is found in
scc.yaml under
NOTE Older versions of OpenShift may require
apiVersion: v1.
kind: SecurityContextConstraints
apiVersion: security.openshift.io/v1
name: rook-ceph
allowPrivilegedContainer: true
allowHostNetwork: true
allowHostDirVolumePlugin: true

- hostPath
- persistentVolumeClaim

# A user needs to be added for each rook service account.
# This assumes running in the default sample "rook-ceph" and "rook-ceph-system" namespaces.
# If other namespaces or service accounts are configured, they need to be updated here.
- system:serviceaccount:rook-ceph-system:rook-ceph-system
- system:serviceaccount:rook-ceph:default
- system:serviceaccount:rook-ceph:rook-ceph-mgr
- system:serviceaccount:rook-ceph:rook-ceph-osd
Important to note is that if you plan on running Rook in namespaces other than the defaults of
rook-ceph-system and
rook-ceph, the example scc will need to be modified to accommodate for your namespaces where the Rook pods are running.
To create the scc you will need a privileged account:
oc login -u system:admin
Now create the scc:
oc create -f scc.yaml
Rook Settings
There are some Rook settings that also need to be adjusted to work in OpenShift.
Operator Settings
There is an environment variable that needs to be set in the operator spec that will allow Rook to run in OpenShift clusters.
ROOK_HOSTPATH_REQUIRES_PRIVILEGED: Must be set to
true. Writing to the hostPath is required for the Ceph mon and osd pods. Given the restricted permissions in OpenShift with SELinux, the pod must be running privileged in order to write to the hostPath volume.
- name: ROOK_HOSTPATH_REQUIRES_PRIVILEGED
value: "true"
Cluster Settings
The cluster settings in
cluster.yaml are largely isolated from the differences in OpenShift. There is perhaps just one to take note of:
dataDirHostPath: Ensure that it points to a valid, writable path on the host systems.
Object Store Settings
In OpenShift, ports less than 1024 cannot be bound. In the object store CRD, ensure the port is modified to meet this requirement.
port: 8080
You can expose a different port such as
80 by creating a service.
There is a known issue in MiniShift that does not allow Rook to be tested in some common end-to-end scenarios. Flex drivers are not currently supported, which means that block and file volumes cannot be mounted. See this tracking issue.
