Watching: Last Minutes With Oden – I discovered this video a few years ago and it's one of the sweetest videos I've seen. It's just a few minutes but speaks volumes to the impact that dogs have on our lives and how special they are. Dogs like Oden just have so much unconditional love and really embody what we should be striving towards. (As a side note, my own dog heard me crying while I rewatched this video and came over to check in, which of course only made me cry even more.)
Listening to: Galapagos from Radiolab – this episode takes a look at the Galapagos island and the conservation effort that's happening on many different fronts. During this hour long episode, we hear about the population explosion of goats on many of the islands, the attempts to restore tortoises to one island, and what's behind the declining finch populations.

You can help by donating, sponsoring an animal, or getting something off their wish list.

I must say that in all my years I would have never have thought I would have written a blog, BUT, never say never. As I go though life each day I seemed to be asked the same questions a lot, perhaps because I have made it into those years of having a little snow on the roof (gray hair) and of course making it until 48 years of age, maybe I should have a little knowledge or may be able to baffle people with BS. I prefer the first thought of knowledge.
Today comes the question of water & fuel mixing and being in your fuel tank from the service station or what I now call a fuel center. The truth is we have all the latest and greatest (and most expensive) equipment that money can buy to make sure you would never get any water. As a matter of fact it has electronic probes in the bottom of the tank and actually would tell you the inches of water in the tank. Our tanks have zero water and the pumps actually sit 6" off the bottom of the tank. Our tanks are also fiberglass coated steel called Eultron. If any water comes from anywhere, alarms will sound.
Last night as I had dinner, I got a message from a man who had purchased fuel elsewhere in an emergency and the truck would not run. So, I want everyone to understand that water and fuel will not mix! The water will settle to the bottom of the tank and the fuel or gas will rise. If the tanks are many years old and do not have any monitoring systems of today, then the tanks will sweat or possibly take on rainwater from a parking lot. Once this water reaches the point of the suction of the pumps then the pumps will pick up water and fuel. Our dispensers then have triple filters and when stations change those as needed the fuel will flow faster and the filters will catch the water if there is any. The same thing happens on your truck, tractor, fuel tank or car.
The only way for a station to get the water out of the bottom of their old tanks is to pump them down to the lowest point and then have a pump truck come and clean out the excess fuel and water. This costs money and I believe some companies are afraid of losing a profit by pumping out the bottom of the tanks. Folks, the moral of this story is the clear truth... where you buy your fuel needs a water monitoring system installed to meet the 2018 standards or they might need to pump the water out of the bottom of their 30 year old tanks. It is worth a few cents more to buy your fuel from a new automated station whether it is Patriot or somewhere else but please buy clean fuel and talk to your station owner about it. They may not realize what is happening.

I mentioned in posts last week about the need for a robust theology of conversion in order to develop a practice of catechesis. I want to continue that line of thought this week with some further reflection about conversion in antiquity.
The early Christian historian and sociologist Wayne Meeks, in The Origins of Christian Morality: The First Two Centuries (1993) looks at different kinds of conversion in antiquity in order to set the context for the unique kind of conversion that existed among early Christian churches. Here we'll look at Meeks's account of conversion in the philosophical schools and antique religions. And in the next post, we'll look at the unique Christian approach.
First, Meeks outlines two ways modern sociologists talk about conversions. One kind is when a person who is living a "dissolute, barren, or otherwise deplorable life ... turns about, shapes up, and henceforth exhibits deportment approved by all." Another kind of conversion is when someone who is living a decent, upstanding life according to the customs of civil society makes a turn to deviant outsider or fanatical sectarian (21). The first kind of conversion is "the restoration of an individual," and its narratives "confirm the mores that are commonly approved, at least in theory, by those who articulate the moral consensus of the society...." (22).
Conversion in Philosophy
It is this kind of story that Meeks says is most common in Greek philosophical conversion: "In antiquity, conversion as moral transformation of the individual is the business of philosophy rather than of religion" (23).
Conversion in philosophy, especially among Cynics and Stoics, is characterized by three things: its difficulty ("the life of virtue as agon"); its loneliness; and its emphasis on the right kind of education (paideia) (24).
The Cynic variety of conversion was especially "a conversion to a radical individualism....to an austere self-sufficiency" (25). For the Stoics, however, such as Epictetus or Seneca, there was more emphasis on the importance of friendship in virtue training. Seneca, for instance, stresses the importance of learning by example rather than just words:
"Of course, however, the living voice and the intimacy of a common life will help you more than the written word ... Cleanthes could not have been the express image of Zeno, if he had merely heard his lectures; he shared his life, saw into his hidden purposes, and watched him to see whether he lived according to his own rules. Plato, Aristotle, and the whole throng of sages who were destined to go each his different way, derived more benefit from the character than from the words [plus ex moribus quam ex verbis] of Socrates. It was not the class-room of Epicurus, but living together under the same roof, that made great men of Metrodorus, Hermarchus, and Polyaenus." (Ep. 6.6, trans. Richard Gummere, LCC)
But while the Stoics value exemplary models, Meeks notes that, in general, this really only applied to the teacher-student friendship, not to the community itself.
The Epicureans come closer to the Christian form of conversion in their emphasis on "highly structured communities": "in the Epicurean 'Garden,' if not in other philosophical schools, we find that dimension which, I will argue, is essential to early Christian conversion: the change of primary reference groups, the resocialization into an alternative community." (26)
Conversion in Religion
Religious conversion, by contrast, does not involve "either moral transformation or sectarian resocialization" (28). A few notable exceptions notwithstanding (Apuleius's Metamorphoses), antique religions just weren't interested in the kind of conversion that philosophies or Christians were. Meeks quotes A. D. Nock's classic book on conversion to that effect:
"Our survey of paganism has given us little reason to expect that the adhesion of any individual to a cult would involve any marked spiritual reorientation, any recoil from his moral and religious past, any idea of starting a new life" (27).
The closest kin to Christian conversion is found in Philo, for whom conversion does entail moral transformation and resocialization, albeit with some tension. "On the one hand, the society whose religion is polytheistic appears incorrigibly benighted, irrational, and wicked: virtue can be attained only by a change of citizenship, transferring to the people of the one God. On the other, the virtues the community seeks and its way of reasoning about them are describe in the language of that same society's high culture" (30-1).
Meeks is setting up the categories in which Christian conversion is the strange and dramatic thing that it is. And, as we shall see, it is also what gives rise to an robust practice of catechesis.

Since 1946, we have worked with the community to conserve and steward natural resources through local projects, partnerships, research, and education.
Our Mission
The mission of Teton Conservation District is to promote conservation and management of natural resources—air, land, water, vegetation, and wildlife—through watershed based research, education, conservation practices, cooperative projects, and on-the-ground actions to ensure the health, safety and general welfare of the people and resources of this area.
how we are governed
Teton Conservation District is led by a locally elected Board of Supervisors. The five members manage the fiscal and legal aspects of the District, are responsible for staffing, and determine the District's goals, mission and policies.
Teton Conservation District is governed, as all conservation districts in the state are, by Wyoming state statute. The specific governance is prescribed in within the Wyoming Conservation Districts Law which is contained in Title 11, Chapter 16 of Wyoming State Statutes.
the Dust Bowl and the soil conservation act
During the 1930s, much of the United States was ravaged by dust storms as a result of years of unsustainable agricultural practices exacerbated by severe drought. As a response, Congress passed the Soil Conservation Act of 1935 which created the Soil Conservation Service administered by the United States Department of Agriculture. By 1937, however, it was clear that local organizations were necessary to encourage community support and participation. A model Soil Conservation District Law was developed and sent to each state governor, along with a letter from President Franklin D. Roosevelt urging them to empower local farmers and ranchers to create districts to conserve soil and water resources.
Conservation districts in wyoming
Wyoming passed the Soil Conservation Act in 1941, leading to the formation of local conservation districts across the state that same year. Today, there are 34 conservation districts across the state, each operating within defined borders and governed by a board of five locally elected individuals living within the boundaries of their respective district. The duty of the Board is to ensure the conservation and protection of soil, water and natural resources within their District, as well as to stabilize local economies and resolve land use related conflicts.
Teton conservation district
The Teton Conservation District was established on March 15, 1946 at the request of the citizens of Teton County. Initially created as two separate districts - the Teton Soil Conservation District and the Jackson Hole Soil Conservation District- by 1967 the latter had been dissolved. In 1974, the boundaries of the Teton Conservation District were expanded to include both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The District exists today to work with the community to develop and implement programs to protect and conserve soil, water, farmland, rangeland, woodland, wildlife and renewable resources.

Fresh, Hot Filipino-Americana Is Served at Hookt Mini Doughnuts
Philip Sison's smile is audible through my smartphone's speaker. The volume spikes and crackles as he excitedly describes the experience of serving ube to people who've never encountered its mild, refreshing sweetness -- in the form of an otherwise classical American glazed donut. He and his wife Judy Sison operate Hookt Mini Doughnuts, which serves piping hot donuts in both traditional American and Filipino flavors at Bay Area markets -- most often at Spark on Friday nights and Off The Grid: Presidio on Sunday afternoons.
"It's cool when I see someone of non-Filipino heritage come up to our booth and say, 'Oh what is ube?'' And they can't pronounce it right, and I hit 'em with a little bit of background about it, and I get them to try it, and they come back and they say, 'Oh my gosh that ube is so good.' So as far as bringing the culture out to everyone, it's a really great feeling to have people try something that they kind of scratch their head, like, "Purple yam? I don't know." But once they try that thing, and they come back, it's an awesome feeling, dude! You know, ube is so Filipino, so I am glad that what I am doing right now, through donuts, I am spreading that little taste of the Filipino culture," Philip says.
It's important to Judy and Philip that the offerings at Hookt Mini Doughnuts reflect both the Filipino flavors and American traditions that characterized their experiences of food growing up as Filipino-Americans.
"First and foremost, with donuts, everybody loves donuts, right? And you know, I'd never seen anyone take a 'cultural' side to it, you know what I mean? Which was probably something missing with donuts -- donuts have always been seen as an American tradition, and you know, why not sprinkle a little bit of Filipino flavor, Filipino culture, to identify us [as Filipino-Americans], and also to separate us from other donut places, too. And it tastes damn good. Especially with our ube donuts. It makes us different, while at the same time pushing our flavors and our Filipino tradition into the American donut," Philip says.
Philip sees the blending of an American staple food like donuts with flavors that represent traditional Filipino dessert flavors -- the Hookt menu regularly features donuts in Ube Coconut, Guava Cheese, and Champorado Samoa -- as an important step in the the continued establishment of a uniquely Filipino-American identity in Bay Area communities.
"We are putting in our own flavor as Filipino-Americans, and it's OK to start our own culture, our own tradition, because us being Filipino-Americans, a lot of us embrace [Filipino] culture, but our upbringing is totally different from the way it might be in the motherland. And we are starting our own tradition and our own culture, over here in America, but we are still Filipino. So that's what's kind of cool! It's something to say that we are starting our own traditions and our own cultures -- a lot of our friends, now, have kids, and they are second- or third-generation Filipino-Americans, so it's crazy to see things evolve, you know?"
Like most Filipino-Americans, Philip holds a deep fondness for his Filipino upbringing -- especially the flavors of traditional favorites -- which allows him to see Hookt not just as a business venture but a vehicle for honoring his individual family history as well as the culture of the Philippines.
"I am born in San Francisco, raised in Daly City. Being what Daly City is, I would say that it's like Little Manila, so that tells you a lot about how much Filipino culture has enriched me. Growing up, from kindergarten through high school was nothing but growing up with other Filipino-Americans. Growing up eating Filipino food every day. [With Hookt], I took it and just kind of ran with it, and kind of tried to do our best and do it for the culture -- do it for us."
The Hookt team's proud dedication to Filipino-American flavors is something they're excited to share at UNDSCVRD, and something Philip says is a process that's constantly influenced by their exploration of the recent influx of Filipino food experiences across the American dining landscape -- especially here in California.
"I am so proud of the Filipino food movement right now. I am so happy to see it at the forefront. Like, you know, growing up you never heard people talk about going to Filipino restaurants, other than Filipinos. Now, it's almost become a standard where they people talk about Filipino restaurants, Filipino dishes, and it's great to hear that. I am so proud to be Filipino! We have to embrace it -- us Filipino-Americans, we have to embrace it. We have to know where we came from. So a lot of it is just getting ideas from things we eat on a normal day-to-day basis, and things we like, and we try to grab those and put it into our donuts, and it's definitely been trial-and-error ever since we started, but everything has been working well, and the feedback is tremendous [...] We have some special stuff for UNDSCVRD that me and Judy are discussing -- she is the real brains of the operation, man. So I am excited, and we are going to bring some good stuff."

Optimise the ventilation in your home. On the Niko Home Control touchscreen and your smartphone, you can monitor just how healthy the air in your home is and how much CO² is present. You can rapidly adjust the ventilation level in one or more rooms or briefly put your ventilation on 'boost'.
Do you wish to automatically decrease your ventilation at bedtime? Or activate economy mode while you spend a weekend at the coast? It's all possible. Thanks to smart ventilation, your ventilation will only work when it's necessary. This stops you from wasting energy.
A ventilation system provides a healthy indoor climate. You waste less energy than when you regularly open the windows. Unfortunately, even ventilation systems create energy loss. By extracting hot air, part of the heating capacity is lost. In new homes, this translates into a heat loss of 20 to 25%. Electricity consumption during ventilation is an important reason why you should opt for smart ventilation control. This way, the home will only be ventilated when required and your customers will not waste energy.
To control your Niko Home Control partner brand's ventilation system, you will need a smart device from that particular partner. More information can be found in the technical details.
The connection to these devices can be activated at mynikohomecontrol.niko.eu. Once activated, your Niko Home Control installation will start to communicate with your partner system and you will also be able to create advanced actions.
Niko makes every effort to ensure the connection process runs as smoothly as possible. Due to technical differences between the brands, there may be differences in functions and options.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — New York Jets coach Rex Ryan paid the Packers' Jordy Nelson perhaps the highest compliment that a wideout can receive.
It's hard to top the career-high 209 yards receiving that Nelson amassed against the Jets.
Nelson's 80-yard touchdown catch put his team up for good late in the third quarter and New York's last foray into Packers territory fizzled in the fourth in Green Bay's 31-24 win Sept. 14 that completed a comeback from an 18-point deficit.
"They deserved the game. They made the plays when it counted," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "That one kid was (Hall of Fame receiver) Jerry Rice out there today."
Not even the return of New York's top cornerback, Dee Milliner, could help Ryan's secondary. Nelson beat Milliner with a double move on an out-and-up route for his long score.
Aaron Rodgers was 25-of-42 for 346 yards and three touchdowns, including the long score to Nelson.
"Well, pretty impressive. Take it for granted sometimes. He's not a big 'me' guy … so he kind of gets overlooked sometimes," Rodgers said about Nelson. "We know the kind of player he is."
Nelson had nine catches and Cobb finished with five catches for 39 yards and two touchdowns. A Packers defense dented for three touchdowns in the game's first 20 minutes surrendered just a field goal the rest of the way.
Still, the Jets had a chance to tie late. It looked as though that had happened with 5 minutes left on a 37-yard touchdown catch by Jeremy Kerley on fourth down — but it was negated because the Jets (1-1) called a timeout from the sideline just before the snap.
"It's a game of adversity. It's a game of momentum swings. It's a game of big plays," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "We were in a spot, but our players stayed the course."

ALMA's image of the HL Tauri disc has been big news in astronomy. But let's take a step back and look at HL Tauri's interesting neighbor, XZ Tauri. The Hubble Space Telescope got into the act yesterday by releasing this new image of Taurus with both XZ and HL Tauri visible. In the Hubble image, XZ Tauri is the bright star surrounded by reddish colored gas and HL Tauri is the blue "cloud" next to it. The actual star and disc captured in the ALMA image is embedded in the gas so all we see is a brightly glowing cloud.
There are many other interesting objects in this image including Harbig Haro (HH) objects, which are areas of nebulosity associated with jets from young stars. V1213 Tauri (lower right) is another star shrouded in dust with jets emanating from its poles that are colliding with the interstellar medium.
But back to XZ Tauri. It was once thought to be a binary system, however, one of the stars is now believed to be a binary as well, making it a triple star system. There is also evidence that suggests there is a protostellar disc. In reviewing the observing proposals for ALMA, there is a high-priority proposal from 2011 that aims to use ALMA's resolving power to investigate binary star systems in Taurus. I suspect that in the future, we're going to get a first glimpse of how a multiple star system looks and what the planet forming disc looks like in such an interesting place. Don't expect Tatooine to be found there though (it is in a binary star system).

Feature: Quentin Tarantino's Finest Casting
One of the most exciting things about a new Tarantino film is seeing the cast. The director traditionally casts rather surprising stars in larger than life roles - from Hollywood A-Listers to smaller B-Movie players or former acting icons. We've taken a run through of some of our favourite pieces of casting in Tarantino's films - and some that we're looking forward to seeing in his latest opus, Django Unchained.
Django Unchained (2012)
Leonardo DiCaprio - Who doesn't love Leo? You can always trust him to deliver a solid performance - this is sure to be the case when we see him step into the role of malevolent plantation owner, Calvin Candie. Its rare that we get to see Leo star as a villain, but it's a certainty that he's going to be the chief scene stealer in Django.
Don Johnson - This television icon was simply fantastic in Robert Rodriguez's Machete, so seeing him team up with Tarantino as evil slave-owner, Spencer "Big Daddy" Bennett all sounds very exciting. His character also looks like Colonel Sanders' twisted brother and of course that is AMAZING.
Franco Nero - Mr Vanessa Redgrave, the original Django (starring in both the 1966 Django and belated 1987 sequel, Django Strikes Again) makes a brief appearance in Tarantino's film. From the looks of the trailer the star makes reference to silent D in Django. The refined Mr. Nero is sure to be a fun little addition to the cast.
Inglorious Basterds (2009)
Christoph Waltz - A name unfamiliar to the vast majority of people prior to his Tarantino debut, Christoph Waltz was like a bolt of lighting shooting through the screen in Inglorius Basters. The Austrian actor was truly magnificent as the twisted Colonel Hans Landa, and hands down the finest asset of the film.
Mike Myers - Myers' cameo as British general Ed Fenech was a pleasant addition to Inglorius Basterds. The Austin Powers star has made few appearances in recent years after flops such as The Cat In The Hat & The Love Guru, but his brief Inglorious appearance showcased Myers' unique comic ability and acted as a brief, yet very welcome return.
Death Proof (2007)
Kurt Russell - Russell's leading man status had been fading in the years' prior to Death Proof, but the Escape From New York star proved that he's still got what it takes as an action star in this understated return to form.
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) / Vol. 2 (2004)
Uma Thurman - Uma Thurman? An action star? Prior to her turn as The Bride in Kill Bill's Vol. 1 & 2, I may have argued against this, however, Uma Thurman proved to be unforgettable in these stylish revenge classics. The image of her in a yellow jump suit is near iconic.
Michael Madsen - Like Kurt Russell, Madsen's status as a leading man was fading with The Reservoir Dogs star struggling to escape the world of DTV. This may still be the case, but Madsen was allowed a brief escape through the Kill Bill films, proving he's still as good as ever.
Daryll Hannah & Lucy Liu - Hannah and Liu were two likeable actresses that to many, both lacked a truly career defining role, well, until Kill Bill. These two stars were deliciously evil as the twisted femme fatale's Elle Driver & O-Ren Ishii.
David Carradine - This iconic role would guarantee Kung Fu icon David Carradine DTV roles until his premature death in 2009. Carradine is utterly mesmerizing in the final chapter of Kill Bill Vol. 2.
Jackie Brown (1997)
Pam Grier - No one does it better than Foxxxy Brown and Tarantino's comeback vehicle for the star showcases her fantastic acting talents, that she rarely had the chance to show in her campy Blaxploitation pictures.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Christopher Walken - Tarantino & Walken proved to be a perfect combination, with The Deer Hunter star's tale of watch passing from generation to generation (in a rather unorthodox method) is one of Pulp Fiction's finest moments.

Wrapping up the first round of the State Basketball Tournament/
The PIAA adding two more classes of competition worked to the Philadelphia Public League's favor—at least in the first round of the state tournament.
The Pub teams won 10 of 13 games across the six classes.
West Philadelphia and Lincoln in 6A both won their first-ever state playoff games. Masterman in 2A and Audenried in 4A also won a state playoff game for the first time.
Since the Pub shares District 12 state playoff spots with the powerful Catholic League, these teams may not have made the tournament under the prior four-class system.
Of course, the usual contenders—Imhotep in 4A, Del-Val Charter in 3A and Math, Civics and Science and Constitution in 2A—also won their first rounders. But it's a stretch to include these four among the rank-and-file Pub teams.
All four are stocked with the best players in Philly they can round up and lure to their schools.
Hempfield's win over Allen gave District 3 6A five wins in six opening round games.
The big school class teams from District 3 had never won five first round games.
Whether this is any indication that District 3 basketball, at least among the big schools, can produce a state champion remains to be seen.
The last state champion in the big-school class was Harrisburg in 2002 in 4A.
"I'm proud to be part of the L-L League and proud to be part of District 3," said Hempfield coach Danny Walck. "We have great players and great coaches in our district. It speaks for itself."
In particular, it was a very impressive showing by the Mid-Penn Commonwealth Division.
Including regular season champion State College, which is the District 6 champion, the Commonwealth's four teams in the tournament won their games—Harrisburg, Carlisle and Central Dauphin East in addition to the Little Lions.
No other league produced those kind of results on any level.
And there's another bright note for District 3 6A teams. No Chester.
The Clippers are now a 5A team. In the state tournament, Chester had a 38-10 record against District 3 teams in the largest classification state tournament
By the way, the Clippers opened the tournament on Friday by defeating Milton Hershey. They get Hershey next.

In a class of yoga there are some exercises that you do with your body, that is your teacher will suggest you to do certain movements (for example, lift your arms, or bend forward, etc) and will ask you to coordinate these movements with your breath in a specific way. For instance, you may be asked to «raise your right arm, as you inhale».
You may also be asked to stay in a certain pose and breath a certain number of times...
The intensity of the exercises usually increases and by the end of the class it will start diminishing. The class can end with a relaxation (which can be guided or not, depending on the situation), or, when the practitioner's breath has achieved a good quality, the class can end with a breathing exercise, with a specific technique and/or rhythm.
A yoga practice, alone or with your teacher in individual or group class, is very personal. In other words, even if you are in a group with 10 other people, you should be focused on yourself.
We live in a world of competition and that usually conditions us. In yoga there is no competition with the others, nor with ourselves. Depending on the day, we can do (or not) some movements or poses comfortably; these movements or poses are not necessarily the same for someone else. It does not matter.
What really matters is how much aware of what you are doing you are, what you are feeling, how you are coordinating your movements with your breath, etc.
In yoga, it is better do a pose not so close to the standard one and being aware of the sensations of your body, than doing a very difficult standard pose and having your mind somewhere else, not your body or breath.
You can see the position of someone's body, but you cannot "see" where the mind is! So, don't get too impressed by the other's work... and if you are really flexible, stay focused on yourself!
One of the most difficult lessons in yoga is "to detach from the fruits of the actions". What does this mean?
Most of the times, we do something with an objective; if our action does not have the result we wish, we will be said or disappointed.
Practicing yoga produces endorphins, so it is pleasant, You should practice just to feel this pleasure. The results will come, but don't run after them, because that will not make them arrive faster. A regular practice, enjoying what you are doing and being as aware of your self as you can, is the best way to achieve the results you want.
In other words, respect your body! Many poses make certain muscles to stretch. This is very good, while you are working in a comfortable way. This means that you will fell the stretching, but you must avoid the pain. Remember, you are not trying to get anywhere! Knowing your body and breath requires concentration and learning.
Pain is the red light of the body! It means you are doing something you should not do, and it may have consequences. Latter, you may be able to learn how to tell the difference between different kinds of pain and learn which of them you can eventually work with. This takes a long time of practice and the supervision of your teacher. Otherwise you may end up with more problems than you had when you started.

Modeling the Young\'s Modulus of Collagen Lattices
The organization of collagen fibers within the various connective tissues of the body plays an important role in the functionality of the organs they support. Each connective tissue exhibits varied fiber connectivity, nodal concentrations and fiber orientations resulting in many functionally diverse tissues despite the similarity of their compositions. Improving our understanding of collagen fiber organization within connective tissues will provide insights into bioengineering, wound care and other medical sciences. In this project we use lattices consisting of a grid of randomly placed nodes joined by springs representing the intersections of fibers and the fibers themselves. By parameterizing the randomly generated lattices, we will examine how varied nodal connectivity, nodal density and orientation affect the Young's modulus of the lattice.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy Atlanta
Oxygen is the most vital gas for human beings. The air that surrounds us consists of about 21% of oxygen. But, scientists have found out that human body when exposed to 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, it can heal faster.
In technical terms, a Hyperbaric chamber is a body chamber in which the oxygen concentration can be increased and controlled. Using this chamber to enhance the body's natural healing process is known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Atlanta, as well as other parts of the world, has gained huge popularity over the years thanks to highly successful results. Here is a look at some of the major benefits, apart from enhancing the healing process that a patient can reap by going for this therapy –
- Reduced problems of the circulatory system
- Reducing the risk of cardiac stroke
- Quick recovery from mental fatigue
Apart from all these, the treatment is a sure shot cure for medical conditions such as decompression sickness, thermal burns, intracranial abscess, air/gas embolism and necrotizing soft tissue infections, to name some of the major ones.
The hyperbaric chamber might cost a lot, but if you are looking to make a worthy investment that can reap great rewards for your medical facility, then getting one for it can be the smartest investment you can ever make.
There are plenty of online places like Atlanta Hyperbaric Centre where you can get these chambers at the best prices, without having to run everywhere in the market. So, if you are looking to buy one, then begin your search for such reliable dealers and see what you can get in the market.

Toronto police have launched an investigation after residents in the city's east-end found "ultra right wing" posters that urged white people "tired of political correctness" and "questioning when immigration will stop" to join an online movement some suspect arose out of Donald Trump's U.S. presidential election win.
The signs have a bold headline that reads "Hey, WHITE PERSON" and ask, "wondering why only white countries have to become 'multicultural'?" and "figuring out that diversity only means less white people'?"
They also called for those with similar thinking to join the "alt-right" political movement on several Canadian and American websites.
"I found the posters very disturbing, residents in my ward sent it this morning. I think the sentiments expressed in the poster are totally unacceptable in this city and it's very worrisome," Coun. Janet Davis told Global News Monday, after the signs turned up in Ward 31 Beaches-East York.
"I'm quite worried that the Donald Trump election has legitimized this kind of ultra right wing viewpoint and encouraged these kinds of expressions of hate."

This is such an important day! Thanking those who have given do much to keep us safe.
A colleague of mine has a cousin whose boyfriend is a marine. He is overseas right now. Our kindergarten classes wrote him letters as an activity on veteran's day.
We showed them pictures of him and talked to them about soldiers and veterans.
They read Deanna Jumps What is Veterans Day, made soldiers with a follow me activity, and wrote a letter.
It was a busy day for my kindergators!
Here are some pictures of their soldiers:

These cars are pretty much guaranteed to cost a fortune in repairs and maintenance, but we want them anyway.
Guess all those new Lexus commercials featured the LFA for a reason.
It's exceedingly clean. Only problem? It's an automatic.
Yes, there's a hyper-rare Corvette that you can actually afford.
This doesn't make a year and a half seem that bad!
If you're a manual purist looking for the ultimate sleeper, this is the car for you.
The mid-1960s had some seriously pretty performance coupes. This might be the pick of the bunch.
Only give these cars to people who know what they're doing, please.
The Toyota Previa is a people carrier with the engine layout of a supercar. You should own one.
This is, uh, an interesting choice of livery. Still, it is an SLR Stirling Moss.
Even with a century of wear and tear, that 14-liter straight-six still pulls like new.
Only 90 examples were ever shipped to the US, meaning this could be your only chance to own a V8-powered piece of Alfa history.
With 1600 horsepower and a predicted top speed of 301 mph, the F5 could trump the Chiron for fastest road car.
Want an investment? These are probably good places to start.
The Santler 3½-HP Dogcart is basically a park bench with wheels and an engine.
With prices rising and collectors snapping up good examples, it's getting harder and harder to make a solid race car out of an E30.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can EasySep™ Streptavidin RapidSpheres™ be used for either positive or negative selection?
Currently, EasySep™ Streptavidin RapidSphere™ kits are only available for negative selection and work by targeting and removing unwanted cells.
How does the separation work?
Streptavidin RapidSphere™ magnetic particles are crosslinked to unwanted cells using biotinylated antibodies. When placed in the EasySep™ Magnet, labeled cells migrate to the wall of the tube. The unlabeled cells are then poured off into a new tube.
Which columns do I use?
The EasySep™ procedure is column-free. That's right - no columns!
How can I analyze the purity of my enriched sample?
The Product Information Sheet provided with each EasySep™ kit contains detailed staining information.
Can EasySep™ Streptavidin RapidSphere™ separations be automated?
Yes. RoboSep™, the fully automated cell separator, automates all EasySep™ labeling and cell separation steps.
Are cells isolated using EasySep™ RapidSphere™ products FACS-compatible?
Yes. Desired cells are unlabeled and ready to use in downstream applications, such as FACS analysis.
Can I alter the separation time in the magnet?
Yes; however, this may impact the kit's performance. The provided EasySep™ protocols have already been optimized to balance purity, recovery and time spent on the isolation.

Lipopolysaccharide shock reveals the immune function of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2 through the regulation of IL-6/stat3 signalling.
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (Ido2) is a recently identified catalytic enzyme in the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway that is expressed primarily in monocytes and dendritic cells. To elucidate the biological role of Ido2 in immune function, we introduced lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin shock to Ido2 knockout (Ido2 KO) mice, which led to higher mortality than that in the wild type (WT) mice. LPS-treated Ido2 KO mice had increased production of inflammatory cytokines (including interleukin-6; IL-6) in serum and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (stat3) phosphorylation in the spleen. Moreover, the peritoneal macrophages of LPS-treated Ido2 KO mice produced more cytokines than did the WT mice. By contrast, the overexpression of Ido2 in the murine macrophage cell line (RAW) suppressed cytokine production and decreased stat3 expression. Finally, RAW cells overexpressing Ido2 did not alter nuclear factor $\kappa$B (NF-$\kappa$B) or stat1 expression, but IL-6 and stat3 expression decreased relative to the control cell line. These results reveal that Ido2 modulates IL-6/stat3 signalling and is induced by LPS, providing novel options for the treatment of immune disorders.

Fam65b Phosphorylation Relieves Tonic RhoA Inhibition During T Cell Migration.
We previously identified Fam65b as an atypical inhibitor of the small G protein RhoA. Using a conditional model of a Fam65b-deficient mouse, we first show that Fam65b restricts spontaneous RhoA activation in resting T lymphocytes and regulates intranodal T cell migration in vivo. We next aimed at understanding, at the molecular level, how the brake that Fam65b exerts on RhoA can be relieved upon signaling to allow RhoA activation. Here, we show that chemokine stimulation phosphorylates Fam65b in T lymphocytes. This post-translational modification decreases the affinity of Fam65b for RhoA and favors Fam65b shuttling from the plasma membrane to the cytosol. Functionally, we show that the degree of Fam65b phosphorylation controls some cytoskeletal alterations downstream active RhoA such as actin polymerization, as well as T cell migration in vitro. Altogether, our results show that Fam65b expression and phosphorylation can finely tune the amount of active RhoA in order to favor optimal T lymphocyte motility.

T Cells Deficient in Diacylglycerol Kinase ζ Are Resistant to PD-1 Inhibition and Help Create Persistent Host Immunity to Leukemia.
Efforts to improve the efficacy of adoptive T-cell therapies and immune checkpoint therapies in myelogenous leukemia are desired. In this study, we evaluated the antileukemia activity of adoptively transferred polyclonal cancer antigen-reactive T cells deficient in the regulator diacylglycerol kinase zeta (DGKζ) with or without PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. In the C1498 mouse model of myeloid leukemia, we showed that leukemia was eradicated more effectively in DGKζ-deficient (DGKζ-/-) mice than wild-type mice. T cells transferred from DGKζ-deficient mice to wild-type tumor-bearing recipients conferred this benefit. Leukemia clearance was similar to mice treated with anti-PD-L1. Strikingly, we found that the activity of adoptively transferred DGKζ-/- T cells relied partly on induction of sustainable host T-cell immunity. Transferring DGKζ-deficient T cells increased the levels of IFNγ and other cytokines in recipient mice, especially with coadministration of anti-PD-L1. Overall, our results offered evidence that targeting DGKζ may leverage the efficacy of adoptive T-cell and immune checkpoint therapies in leukemia treatment. Furthermore, they suggest that DGKζ targeting might decrease risks of antigen escape or resistance to immune checkpoint blockade. Cancer Res; 77(20); 5676-86. textcopyright2017 AACR.

Fatty Acid Uptake in T Cell Subsets Using a Quantum Dot Fatty Acid Conjugate.
Fatty acid (FA) metabolism directly influences the functional capabilities of T cells in tumor microenvironments. Thus, developing tools to interrogate FA-uptake by T cell subsets is important for understanding tumor immunosuppression. Herein, we have generated a novel FA-Qdot 605 dye conjugate with superior sensitivity and flexibility to any of the previously commercially available alternatives. For the first time, we demonstrate that this nanoparticle can be used as a specific measure of fatty acid uptake by T cells both in-vitro and in-vivo. Flow cytometric analysis shows that both the location and activation status of T cells determines their FA uptake. Additionally, CD4+ Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) uptake FA at a higher rate than effector T cell subsets, supporting the role of FA metabolism for Treg function. Furthermore, we are able to simultaneously detect glucose and fatty acid uptake directly within the tumor microenvironment. Cumulatively, our results suggest that this novel fluorescent probe is a powerful tool to understand FA utilization within the tumor, thereby providing an unprecedented opportunity to study T cell FA metabolism in-vivo.

Autoantibody-boosted T-cell reactivation in the target organ triggers manifestation of autoimmune CNS disease.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is caused by T cells that are reactive for brain antigens. In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, the animal model for MS, myelin-reactive T cells initiate the autoimmune process when entering the nervous tissue and become reactivated upon local encounter of their cognate CNS antigen. Thereby, the strength of the T-cellular reactivation process within the CNS tissue is crucial for the manifestation and the severity of the clinical disease. Recently, B cells were found to participate in the pathogenesis of CNS autoimmunity, with several diverse underlying mechanisms being under discussion. We here report that B cells play an important role in promoting the initiation process of CNS autoimmunity. Myelin-specific antibodies produced by autoreactive B cells after activation in the periphery diffused into the CNS together with the first invading pathogenic T cells. The antibodies accumulated in resident antigen-presenting phagocytes and significantly enhanced the activation of the incoming effector T cells. The ensuing strong blood-brain barrier disruption and immune cell recruitment resulted in rapid manifestation of clinical disease. Therefore, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-specific autoantibodies can initiate disease bouts by cooperating with the autoreactive T cells in helping them to recognize their autoantigen and become efficiently reactivated within the immune-deprived nervous tissue.

Meet Herbert Rouson, Jr.'02: Chief Deputy Clerk of D.C.'s Highest Court
Herbert Rouson, Jr. '02 is chief deputy clerk of the D.C. Court of Appeals, where he supports the vision and directives of both the clerk of the court, and chief judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby. He is primarily responsible for developing and implementing enterprise-level process improvements that increase customer service metrics as they relate to providing access to justice, while maintaining a high-level of employee engagement. Rouson is also in charge of cultivating collaborative relationships with decision-makers, executive leaders, and court partners.
Additionally, for the past three years, he has served as the chair of the D.C. Courts' Management Training Committee, which provides robust training opportunities for court managers, works collaboratively with the Judicial Education Committee, and oversees the development of future leaders through the court's formal Management Training Program. And here at American University Washington College of Law (AUWCL), he serves on the Public Interest Alumni Advisory Board.
As a law student, Rouson did not have any preconceived notions about a particular career in law, but he believes that participating in various experiential opportunities and student activities at AUWCL helped shape and define his perspectives on the law. In particular, his fellowship with Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project made him more keenly aware of the importance of having an active and engaged citizenry.
Rouson's advice to law students: "stay open. Having 'a plan' or 'end game' certainly has its place," he says. "However, sometimes the best plans are the ones that find those who are open to receive them."
Additionally, Rouson strongly encourages students to take advantage of office hours with their professors, and make time to engage their classmates about topics discussed in class in order to gain a broader perspective of how others view the law.
"[S]ometimes the best plans are the ones that find those who are open to receive them."Herbert Rouson, Jr.

In Loren Estleman's 1981 novel, "The Wolfer," Asa North is known as the best wolfer in the Idaho Territory, if not in all of the West. He lives, travels and hunts alone, and understands wolves far better than he does people. He shows up in towns infrequently and only to restock his supplies and collect his bounties. On one of these trips, he meets a young reporter, R.G. Fulwider, who is visiting from the East and wants to find a story that will capitalize on his newspaper's subscribers' love of anything "Western."
Asa North wants little to nothing to do with anything human, and certainly nothing to do with a tenderfoot reporter, but Fulwider is relentless and convinces North to take him on a trip. This trip has North hunting Black Jack, a wolf credited with almost human-like intelligence and cunning, and with having killed hundreds of cattle. The bounty placed on Black Jack is enough to make a working man wealthy and so attracts a variety of less-than-ethical men who will stop at nothing to collect the bounty.
Fulwider and North are soon the hunted as well as the hunters, fighting for their lives against the elements and those who would readily kill more than just wolves for the bounty. Through all this, North remains focused on Black Jack, and Fulwider is left to grow up quickly and learn the ways of the West, good and bad, in short order, or die.
Loren Estleman is prolific Western writer with almost 30 Western novels to his name, including his well-received "Page Murdock" series. I recently had a chance to meet and spend a little time with Loren. He was an absolute delight and generous with his time and advice.
"The Wolfer" was actually a difficult book for me to read, which I think it was intended to be. The heartless way in which the wolves are hunted down, even the pups having their necks rung for the bounty, is challenging to read for any who love wild animals. And yes, I recognize the problem the ranchers faced and am not suggesting it shouldn't have been done, just that it was not easy to read.
A last note. While reading "The Wolfer," it was hard to imagine that Estleman was not a fan of Herman Melville's "Moby Dick." Replace Captain Ahab with Asa North and Moby Dick with Black Jack and you have "The Wolfer." North, like Ahab, pursues his prey with an intensity and focus that far outweighs the intrinsic value of the prize, both men willing to risk their lives — and the lives of others — to achieve their goal or, perhaps more accurately, obsession.
One Comment on "The Wolfer"
Interesting, I don't know if it is the love of something, or the power of the 'obsession' that will catch a writers interest? Does the author side with the animals by exposing the cruelty of men? Or does the author side with the men, and the descriptions are a matter of course?
Thank you for the reviews, and that they aren't just the newest releases. Some of the old books made a person think when they got through them. Of course entertainment does many things, not just one. Thank you again for the review, I will have to see if I can find a copy.
Take care,

Apr 18, 2008
By Diane Coetzer
JOHANNESBURG – South Africa's Grammy Award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir is aiming to emulate Ladysmith Black Mambazo by touring its way to global success.
Like the isicathimiya (a cappella) Zulu traditionalists, Soweto Gospel Choir can now lay claim to two Grammys, having added the 2008 best traditional world music award for "African Spirit" to last year's triumph in the same category with "Blessed." Both albums are released in the United States through Shanachie.
"When the choir received their first Grammy, they were in the middle of their second U.S. tour, and that announcement certainly boosted sales and interest," choir co-director Beverly Bryer says. "A second Grammy will bring in even more people."
Bryer founded the choir with David Mulovhedzi in 2002. Its members are drawn from churches and communities in Soweto, a township outside Johannesburg, and its repertoire is based on interpretations of traditional and contemporary South African music.
The 26-member choir's "African Spirit" shows include a 48-date U.S. trek that begins in early October, takes in a date at New York's Carnegie Hall and ends December 23 with a concert in the Disney Hall in Los Angeles. May/June shows in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and dates in Europe later this year, are also lined up.
The choir's U.S. tour last year grossed more than $1 million, according to Katy McDermott, managerial associate at IMG Artists, which handles the choir's U.S. dates.
But album sales currently lag some way behind the choir's live popularity: "African Spirit" has sold 12,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan; its top-selling CD is 2004's "Voices From Heaven," with 25,000 copies. Ladysmith's top-selling album is 1987's "Shaka Zulu" (Warner Bros), which has sold 162,000 copies, although its release, as with many Ladysmith albums, predates the 1991 adoption of SoundScan's tracking program as the industry standard.
Ladysmith rose to global prominence from its work on Paul Simon's 1986 album "Graceland," and Soweto Gospel Choir has also notched some high-profile collaborations. It appeared with Celine Dion February 14 in Johannesburg.
"They have such beautifully soulful voices and gorgeous harmonies, and they sing with such a natural rhythm," Dion says. "I can't wait to work with them again."
Robert Plant also worked with the choir on "Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino," when it joined him on a version of "Valley of Tears," which he describes as "mesmerizing, beautiful and phenomenally resonant."
Plant adds, "Working with the choir, with their energy and positivity, has been one of the major events of my recent years."
Bryer describes international touring as "essential" for keeping the choir's high profile.
"This is a choir that thrills its audiences the most through its live shows," she says. "The more successful they are, the more is expected of them, but they've risen to the challenge and are ready to show U.S. audiences why they've received two Grammy Awards."
