MAGic 2015 conference – 'Anthropology and Global Health: interrogating theory, policy and practice'
European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA) & RAI at the University of Sussex, 9-11th September 2015
This panel explores the role of practicing healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists and other allied professionals) involved in anthropological research in global health. We invite papers from anthropologists, healthcare professionals and students who have observed/experienced first-hand the theoretical, methodological and practical issues involved when combining clinical practice with anthropological research. We particularly invite papers highlighting examples of best practice and lessons learned from the field (see abstract, below).
Please submit paper abstracts by clicking the 'Propose paper' link at the bottom of the page:
This should include:
- a paper title
- authors/co-authors
- a short abstract of fewer than 300 characters
- a long abstract of fewer than 250 words
Panel abstract:
Healthcare professionals are often key stakeholders at the intersections of Global Health and Medical Anthropology, but discussion around what this means for the disciplines and practitioners involved remains limited. This panel, convened by junior doctors and medical students, seeks to explore the impact of this work and to interrogate what this might mean for both disciplines, their practitioners and, crucially, for their patients and research subjects. The role of 'physician-anthropologist', spearheaded by Paul Farmer, Vinh-Kim Nguyen and other high-profile individuals, is inspiring a new generation of healthcare professionals to combine clinical work with anthropologically-grounded research and practice. How does their depth of understanding and experience as well as their stakeholder status impact upon their theoretical approaches and chosen research methodologies? Do healthcare professionals have a bias when formulating objectives, interpreting data and developing practical applications from their research? What are the ethical issues raised? Anthropological research is gaining increasing appreciation and credibility as it aids the design, implementation and evaluation of Global Health interventions. Consequently, healthcare professionals are increasingly involved in Medical Anthropology as participants. How can their engagement with research be better understood? How can resultant evidence-based interventions requiring collaboration with healthcare professionals be optimised to maximise positive outcomes for patients? This panel invites papers that explore the questions above, stimulate considerable discussion and further the discourse in this field. We particularly welcome papers that showcase best practice and lessons learned, specifically with a focus on applied research that has impacted patients and participants.
Call for papers closes on 27th April 2015

Manchester United beat Chelsea in the race to sign Romelu Lukaku over the weekend and as a result of the transfer Antonio Conte is now refusing to let Nemanja Matic move to Old Trafford.
United boss, Mourinho, has now set his sight firmly on 23 year-old English defensive midfielder, Eric Dier. Dier joined Spurs from Sporting Lisbon, where he spent 11 years, rising through the youth set-up for a basement fee of just £4m.
Dier made an instant impact at Spurs, Pochettino instantly put his faith in the Cheltenham born player and started him at right-back in the opener of the 2014/15 season, Dier made a late burst forward and coolly took the ball past Adrian and slotted it into the empty net to give Tottenham a 1-0 win. He has since been a mainstay in the Tottenham team and has broke into the England side, gaining 19 caps in the process.
Dier is said to be frustrated following less playing time in his favoured defensive midfield role thanks to the fine form of Kenyan, Victor Wanyama. Dier was still a vital part of the Tottenham team last season, he made 36 appearances, most of these coming in the centre back position as part of a back 3.
If Manchester United are successful in their pursuit of Dier it would take their summer spending to over £150m, eclipsing what they spent last summer. Tottenham are yet to delve into the transfer market, but they are believed to be on the verge of signing Estudiantes defender, Juan Foyth in a £10m deal.

A friend of mine is a magpie with excellent taste.
She collects children's illustrated books that she finds in charity shops. She has found some amazing gems.
I have consistently forgotten the check the children's books in charity shops for years now, but of course, what a wonderful resource for inspiration.
My friend's most recent find is a book called 'Romany Free', published in 1974. The story, written by Robert Vavra, has been woven around paintings by the artist Fleur Cowles.
I have been loaned the book to have a look through, and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous.

My parent's have a simply beautiful home! At the base of a mountain with a big, wide front yard, surrounded by woods on three sides, with a barn, a garden, a pond, and a large backyard pool, Mom and Dad's offered a mere kid heaven that had everything we could have wanted as children! One of my favorite things? The back porch. So many memories took place back there! Running up all wet and drippy from the pool to eat a quick lunch. Hot summer nights eating watermelon. Putting on Mom's heels and playing that the porch was my classroom and clip-cloping around "teaching." Curled up on the porch swing reading a good book. Laying on the couch taking an outdoor nap. Sitting out there with the family listening to thunder rumble in the distance waiting for storms to blow in. I have so many memories on that back porch and today I had to stop and daydream about it while the cold, wet wind blew outside.

Survival of the Syrian regime will greatly serve purposes of some regional actors while the world countries have mostly approached happenings in Syria the same as that of Libya and Yemen. The US, EU countries, many of the Arab nations and the UN have asked Syrian regime to stop crackdown against protestors and abide by their legal and democratic demands. The recent tough weeks for Syrian protestors have provoked a sense of global empathy with them. However, the only supporting country to the battling Assad's regime believes that the Arab revolutions differ from one country to another. The Islamic Republic of Iran says that Syrian protestors were stimulated by specific plots designed and led by Western and some Arab countries.
Unless otherwise, Assad's longtime regime didn't deserve widespread demonstrations. Acknowledging Iran's role in Syrian politics, Turkey had talks with Iranian officials, including Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to discuss recent developments in Turkey's southern neighbor. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that it is very important for the dynamic transformation process in the Middle East to be shaped by developments in the region, as opposed to outside actors.
Davutoglu's remarks came as tensions between Syria and the United States flared on Monday July 11, 2011 after loyalists of the Syrian regime attacked the US Embassy in Damascus. The United States, which sees Syria as a fragile but crucial element of any lasting Middle East peace equation, had been reluctant to demand that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad step aside, but US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's comments on Monday indicated Washington's patience had run out. US Secretary Clinton said Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad had "lost legitimacy".
Before the uprising began in Arab world including Syria, the United States and Syria long had an uneasy relationship. In recent years, Syria has been at the forefront of a number of important U.S. policy issues in the Middle East, and the two sides have been at odds on such issues as the Arab-Israeli conflict, Syria's role in Lebanon, and U.S. allegations that Syria has failed to curb infiltration of foreign fighters across the border into Iraq. However, as part of Obama's change in US foreign policy, Washington resumed diplomatic ties with Syria.
Following recent developments in M.E. and the so far-unsuccessful attempts to bring regime change in Syria, United States think it is time to put pressure on the country to end the longtime pro-Iranian dictatorship there. The US said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had lost legitimacy and was losing his grip on power.
Likewise, France called on Tuesday for a Security Council meeting. Denunciations of Assad from U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and French Prime Minister Francois Fillon marked those countries' sharpest condemnation yet of the Syrian president, struggling to put down four months of revolts that have swept the country and threatened his 11-year rule.The domestic clashes in Syria are severely connected to the regional and global realpolitik. The pro-Assad Iran is making its last attempts to help him survive the blowing revolt. However, it is now too difficult to ease tensions and suppress public uprising.

Education: MA MEng MSc
currently based in London
The way I frame my autodidact path within design since now more than 10 years consists in three words: Thinking, Talking, Making. I constantly seek to combine my first education in general engineering and my broad technical and artistic culture with my design vocation. With a background in engineering (MEng) and work-experience with craft-centric companies (Leather, Wood and Brass), I chose to pursue the MA/MSc in Innovation Design Engineering at the Royal College of Art. My practice focuses on the materialization of emotions into objects and code, by tracing their residual presence and proposing new means for emotional projection. This has led me to investigate ancient rites and surviving symbols today in order to question material culture. In this exploratory phase of work, I am using a range of technological approaches to the body as a medium, from material research to custom-made electronics, that has culminated in an exhibition at the V&A Friday Late February 2018 and a participation to the talk Interfaces Monthly 042018 event organised by the Barbican. My goal is to practice design combining storytelling with a critical and meaningful creative process, to reach poetic and elegant solution.
One of my motivation is to try to identify the hidden layers of information in our environment, and reveal them to users. Beyond the augmented or the virtual, aiming at a revealed reality. This way I intend to bring value and enrich the everyday-life of users. I believe that a thought-provoking design enriches the mindscape of people. Altogether my ethos would be close to Metamodernism, combining a dissection of grand narratives with an earnest respect for mythologies and the sensibility they invoke. As well as thoughts I aim at awakening emotions, so that together they would create a memorable experience. This process comes to fruition only with a final embodiment phase, proposing a tangible materiality to the message. For this, Critical and speculative design are the foundations of my approach but my stance is nourished by an affective look at abnormal, fringe and irationnal phenomena in culture. I wish to challenge social norms in the most constructive way, trying to avoid naïve narratives, and not being afraid of taping into the social fantasies attached to everyday objects.

Blaine woman sentenced to prison for stealing mail from hundreds of homes
A Blaine woman was sentenced to prison on Thursday, Nov. 20, after being charged with stealing mail from at least 270 different outgoing mailboxes across three counties in 2013.
Michelle Lyn Roe, 33, also known as Michelle Lyn Spaulding, will spend more than two and a half years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple charges of possession of stolen mail, financial fraud and forgery, according to documents filed in Whatcom County Superior Court. Roe also pleaded guilty to bail jumping, which increased her sentence from 18 months to 33 months in prison, according to the documents.
A woman who was staying at Roe's home at 5115 Maple Crest Ave in Blaine as a guest in June 2013 called police when she thought Roe had stolen her credit card, charging documents said. The woman searched Roe's room before police arrived and found mail belonging to 129 different addresses in a dresser.
Police searched Roe's car and found backpacks filled with more stolen mail and checks. The mail was postmarked from May or June of 2013. There were also notebooks with lists of stolen identities, including social security numbers and bank account routing numbers. The mail was stolen from homes in Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties, according to charging documents.
Police connected the stolen mail to multiple reports of stolen bank account information or identity theft, according to charging documents. Roe had forged the checks or used the routing numbers to commit financial fraud, and her wallet also contained two stolen credit cards and two stolen checks belonging to her mother, police said.
Roe was charged with 27 counts of possession of stolen mail, with mail from 10 different addresses making up each count. She also was charged with two counts of forgery, seven counts of financial fraud and one count of identity theft.
Bail jumping was added to the list when she failed to appear for a court hearing on Sept. 4, 2013, court documents said. She pleaded guilty to eight charges on Thursday.

Atlanta pays $1.2 million for firing man who wrote Bible study
'We hope this will serve as a deterrent' to governments violating Constitution
The city of Atlanta has agreed to pay $1.2 million to a fire chief who was fired for writing a Bible study.
The Alliance Defending Freedom said the city council voted on the payout to Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran after a court determined city rules requiring employees to obtain permission for such activity are unconstitutional.
The mayor of Atlanta terminated Cochran's employment because of his Christian faith and beliefs, ADF said.
Mayor Kasim Reed had suspended Cochran for 30 days and announced he must complete "sensitivity training" after activists who oppose the fire chief's Christian views on sexual behavior complained about a men's devotional book Cochran had written on his personal time.
ADF explained biblical sexual morality is mentioned only briefly in the 162-page book.
When an investigation revealed Cochran did not discriminate against anyone, Reed fired him anyway.
WND reported last winter a federal court ruled the city's policies violated the First Amendment.
ADF spokesman Kevin Theriot explained at the time: "The government can't force its employees to get its permission before engaging in free speech. In addition, as the court found, the city can't leave such decisions to the whims of government officials. This ruling benefits not only Chief Cochran, but also other employees who want to write books or speak about matters unrelated to work. Atlanta can no longer force them to get permission or deny them permission just because certain officials disagree with the views expressed."
As WND previously reported, Cochran sued the city after he was suspended and ordered to take "sensitivity training." He ultimately was fired when a chapter in his book for men titled "Who Told You That You Are Naked?" was brought to the attention of a homosexual city council member and the mayor.
Cochran's suit alleged he was a victim of retaliation, discrimination based on his viewpoint, and violation of his constitutionally protected freedoms of religion, association and due process. The due-process claim centered on his allegation that the city fired him without following its own procedures.
Cochran prevailed on the due-process claim in the decision by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The city won other claims.
But the court found the city's policy banning outside employment without prior approval was overly broad and subjective, giving veto power to supervisors based on their own biases.
The city council voted Monday on the payment for damages and attorneys' fees.
"The government can't force its employees to get its permission before they engage in free speech. It also can't fire them for exercising that First Amendment freedom, causing them to lose both their freedom and their livelihoods," Theriot said after the vote.
"We are very pleased that the city is compensating Chief Cochran as it should, and we hope this will serve as a deterrent to any government that would trample upon the constitutionally protected freedoms of its public servants."
The district court, in its earlier decision on Cochran's behalf, said the city's policy "would prevent an employee from writing and selling a book on golf or badminton on his own time and, without prior approval, would subject him to firing. It is unclear to the court how such an outside employment would ever affect the city's ability to function, and the city provides no evidence to justify it. … The potential for stifled speech far outweighs any unsupported assertion of harm."
Cochran's 162-page devotional book was developed from his teaching at his church.
"Plaintiff's book was written primarily for Christian men and is intended to help them fulfill God's purpose for their lives. According to plaintiff, one of the book's goals is to guide men to live faith-filled, virtuous lives," notes the court's decision.

Marie-Antoinette Would Be Furious To See Her Jewelry Go To Auction
History buffs are probably aware that Marie-Antoinette, the last Queen of France before the French revolution, would frequently show up wearing strings of pearls and diamonds, and it's safe to assume she was quite proud of them. As such, we could only guess she would be furious to see her precious jewels looking for new owners at an auction.
Yes, it's true – her personal jewelry collection is being revealed to the public for the first time in 200 years. Furthermore, this November, Sotheby's Geneva will allow you to try your luck at getting at least one of more than 100 jewels that will be up for auction. What do you think: would France's queen approve?
The items from Marie-Antoinette's private collection were smuggled out of France in a wooden chest in the spring of 1791, prior to King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette's imprisonment. Never before seen in public, these stunning jewels offer a captivating insight into the glitzy life of Marie-Antoinette and her taste for beauty.
Adorned with numerous precious gems and finished with exceptional craftsmanship, these jewelry pieces will most likely attract quite a lot of attention. As such, it's safe to assume none of these pieces will come cheap; for instance, a diamond pendant strung with a large natural pearl has been estimated at $1 million–$2 million. Now, that's an outrageous gift or a unique collector's item.

T.E. Lawrence, a British Army officer, once said "All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible," and this belief drives the five people who have cultivated time and created an organization called Edge.
"[Edge stands for] educating dreamers to gain efficacy," said Francisco Nunez, junior and finance chair of Edge. "Our goal is to cultivate leaders and instill the key foundational principles that is key to their success."
Nunez, Malcolm Young, David Connor, Jessica Robinson, and Notorious Scott founded Edge last school year after going through a year of leadership and personal development, which changed their mentality of people from a negative focus to a more positive focus and outlook.
"We started our journey last year around homecoming," started Robinson, junior and secretary of Edge. "We had to become desensitized to the social mirror to extricate ourselves from that socially driven mentality. We focused on 9 key principles that the organization is built upon, which are the key principles of leadership."
The 9 key principles are based on the book, the Slight Edge by Jeff Olson, which outlines the difference between a successful and unsuccessful person linked with their daily habits. The principles include environment, health, networking, self-image, inner circle, spirituality, social consciousness, leadership, and finance. Each meeting the Edge has as an organization is based on cultivating one of these key principles.
"So many meetings and groups discuss the problems that may be plaguing people, but in Edge we equip you with what you need to succeed and then help you with apply those things immediately to your life through our workshop like meetings," said Robinson. "Eventually we want to create other small groups of like-minded people, not necessarily add people to our core group of people. We see the passion of the people in Edge and let the bond between people happen organically."
The idea behind creating Edge on the Morehouse and Spelman campus was 'divinely created'. A few years ago Malcolm Young saw a quote on Facebook from the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, and commented on the post saying he needed a mentor and from there he received a mentor who exposed him to book the Slight Edge.
"Malcolm shared his enlightenment with David and Francisco who were his roommates, and the rest just happened organically," explained Robinson. "He used something we call the Iron Man effect. He spoke vision to his friends."
The Iron Man Effect as Robinson and Nunez went on to explain is were a person conquers the fear of networking and speaks vision to anyone willing to listen.
"Edge is referred to as a tool by our mentor," continued Nunez. "Edge [and the Iron Man Effect] is a method for attracting a lot of people. The 20% that are the most receptive of the vision we portray, we infuse them with love."
On campus Edge is partnering with community organizations. They are currently working on an initiative with Greening Youth Foundation, partnering with them to mentor and tutor elementary school students. Edge also holds fundraising events including a carwash that was held last month to help raise funds for Free Enterprise Day which was held in Irvine, California.
"In California we discussed leadership, entrepreneurship, and we talked about our visions of life," said Nunez. "We talked about input and experience. It was important for us to go to this, because in the national movement, Project 1 million, there are few black people involved."
As the semester winds down, Edge is trying to raise awareness around the campuses with YouTube and Facebook videos talking about key qualities of leadership, and the creation of shirts with their Edge logo on it.
"Our goal is just to share this knowledge with other people and let them cultivate their true leadership potential," said Robinson. "Its not an easy process, and may take a long time to truly understand what everything means, but since I made the choice to take advantage of my time I have seen the vital importance of every minute in the day, I have grown from the constructive criticism I have received from the other people in edge, and most notably I have grown in every aspect of my life."
Edge recommends everyone read the Slight Edge by Jeff Olson.

Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC!/
Andrew and I both grew up in North Carolina but neither of us had ever been to the Biltmore Estate! Andrew is a history buff and always wanted to go to the Biltmore so I made sure we went while back in North Carolina.
The tickets were a bit pricey but parking was included. The gardens and grounds were also included in the ticket pricing as well as the winery! They also offered a small military discount which was nice.
The Biltmore House began in 1889 which took over a six-year period to complete. "George Vanderbilt's 250-room chateau is as impressive today as it was more than a century ago. Biltmore House is truly a wonder of architecture and hospitality. As our guest, you're invited to enjoy a self-guided tour of the house, as well as the beautiful gardens and grounds surrounding it, designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted."
Our tour included a self-guided tour of three floors and the basement in the Biltmore Estate. We saw displays of vintage clothing, accessories, art, furniture, and more that tell stories and illustrate the lives of the Vanderbilt family, their guests, and employees.
After our tour of the Biltmore House, we went to the gift shop area to grab some ice cream to take with us as we explored the grounds of the estate. We enjoyed a walk along the French Broad River, through lush green forests, and the open meadows of Deer Park. We strolled about 2.5 miles on trails in the manicured grands and went through all of the green houses.
We spent the entire day at the Biltmore Estate. There was just so much to see and so much to learn about. As we were leaving we saw horse trails, fields of daffodils, and more of the Biltmore Estate which included a winery, hotel, and inn.

My 10 year old son and I both took the Open Water Certification class, and Phil showed us the ropes with a very down to earth and patient demeanor. My son and I both look forward to our dives with Phil, as he makes us feel very safe and comfortable setting up and using all the equipment and staying safe. He showed us all the emergency procedures and how to avoid panicking through it, which in hindsight seems to be one of the most important abilities. He made the class very practical and informative while making it fun as well; just don't forget Phil's five rules, they'll keep you safe!! He completely worked around our schedule. We are both glad to have taken this class through Phil. Immediately once my daughter turns 10 years old, she will be getting certified through Phil as well; she/we can't wait!! Thanks Phil, you are such an awesome instructor and great people person. We look forward to the dives to come, and here's to lifelong SCUBA adventures!!

The rigmarole of dealing with infertility can take its toll on even the most dedicated. To be poked and prodded, scheduled and charted, time and time again is stressful, and it can very easily begin to cloud the excitement and joy you felt when you decided to try getting pregnant. It's easy to fall into a routine of despair and stress — which is something that many infertility experts believe can actually be counterproductive to getting pregnant.
A body under stress is not one ripe for a baby, and no matter how hard you try, the ups and downs and disappointments of dealing with infertility will leave you feeling stressed.
Alternative Therapies for Dealing with Infertility. Alternative therapies can offer a sense of calm and peace within this whirlwind of medical procedures. They can't cure your infertility, but they can teach you coping strategies that will better enable you to tackle the worries ahead.
Breathing. It sounds simple, and it is. Rarely do we pause throughout our day to focus on our breathing, but you'll find that when you do, it has the power to calm your racing thoughts and bring you back to your center.
Meditation. The art of clearing the mind, meditation can give you relief from having the ever-present thoughts surrounding infertility swirling within your head.
Yoga. Combining breathing and meditation, yoga can prepare both body and mind for conception.
Acupuncture. This ancient form of Traditional Chinese Medicine has helped many couples who struggle with getting pregnant.

JoanJetsetter.com Wins Best Nontraditional Travel Article
Society of American Travel Writers honors JoanJetsetter.com with a Gold Award for excellence in travel journalism
The Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) recognizes the best of the best in travel journalism during its annual Western Chapter Writing Awards—and it just so happens to be that time of year again. That said, I am honored and thrilled to announce that JoanJetsetter.com won a Gold Award in the Nontraditional Article category for our augmented reality-meets-city-tour article, "St. Kitts for Pokémon Trainers."
SATW Western Chapter's writing awards featured 144 entries from professional travel journalists, websites, blogs and magazines. For the second year, University of Missouri School of Journalism faculty presided as judges, determining awards in nine categories.
"In the midst of summer's hot gaming fad, [Joan Jetsetter] offered a video tour of the Caribbean island and tips on where to find the mysterious virtual Pokémon," said the judges in a statement. "Great timing, good use of video format and education to boot, as the hunt included commentary on historical and scenic areas on the island."
Earlier in the year, "Pokémon Go Tips on St. Kitts" also earned a Gold Award from the North American Travel Journalist Association (NATJA).
"We're very pleased that the Pokémon Go story about St. Kitts has won yet another award from a distinguished journalistic organization," said Racquel Brown, CEO of the St. Kitts Tourism Authority. "As [Joan Jetsetter's] visit to island corresponded with the launch of the game and its rapid viral popularity, she was able to use the opportunity to write about the phenomenon from a unique perspective—playing on our beautiful island while also experiencing our scenic landscape, historic attractions and culture—one which clearly resonated with readers and professional colleagues alike."
You can watch the corresponding "Pokémon Go Tips on St. Kitts" video below or check out the complete, media-rich article here.
Oh, and one more thing. The judges also handed out a Silver Award for a cover story I penned for TravelAge West about virtual reality and 360-degree video trends in the travel industry. 🙏🙏🙏 This is one of the subjects I'm the most passionate about, and the story was a delight to research and write. A huge thank you to my editors at TravelAge West for giving me the green light to write what is a fairly nontraditional article for their audience. I wholeheartedly appreciate the many learning opportunities and fun assignments they've given me over the years and look forward to many more.

Joe Flacco's wife gives birth an hour before kickoff
It's been quite a day for Joe Flacco. He and the Baltimore Ravens beat the Cleveland Brown 14 – 6, but that's not why he's smiling. Just before kickoff, at around noon today, his wife Dana gave birth to their second son.
Of course his decision to not attend the birth to play in today's game has drawn some criticism and jokes–all on Twitter, of course:
After holding his new baby for about five seconds, Joe Flacco dumped it off to Ray Rice. #topical
@baltimoresun what a jerk, he wasn't even there for the birth and now he is paying. His priorities are a little off!

Repairing Your Koi Pond Equipment
Often with pond maintenance we see clients struggling to get their pool pumps used for their koi ponds able to prime again. This is a very common issue as these pumps (external centrifugal pool pumps) require an air-tight fit and be filled with enough water to catch. If you are struggling with this, here are a few areas to consider when having pump priming issues.
Sometimes debris backs up the pump's impeller. Take the impeller off and get rid of anything that could be blocking it.
Priming Problems: What to Do When Your Koi Pond Pump Stops Working Properly
There are several reasons why your pump won't prime. If you are unable to solve the issue by the time this article is over, contact a professional koi pond maintenance company. Read on to learn the most common issues associated with the pump, as well as how to solve the situation.
The water level in the koi pond/ waterfall is not high enough.
Professional Water Feature Equipment Repair Services
Check your skimmer seal / opening
The water should be at the mid-level or higher in order for the pump to work properly. If it is not, the circulation system could take in air via the skimmer. If too much air goes in, the pump will not prime. Take off the cover. Look for the gasket and take it off as well. Look to see if it is in good working order. Typically, it is the gasket that is causing issues; if this is the case, put in a new one. Add a little lubricant when you put it in. Vaseline is not appropriate for this situation. Put the cover back on and make sure everything is secure. Do not tighten it with a tool, because you may inadvertently do too much.
The strainer basket might have something in the way
Take out the skimmer basket and clean it to remove any issues. Use a hose for the best results. Often-times, large debris can get sucked into the filter. From rocks, to vegetation, to fish, and other wildlife. Making sure your filtration returns are covered appropriately on the ponds edge is very important for good pond circulation. Pond pumps can pull around these objects and cause the water pressure to drop significantly.
The glued fittings have leaks.
There are glued fittings near the suction area of the pump. Occasionally, the glue is not evenly distributed around the pipe. As a result, there will be air channels that pop up. Sometimes, when the pump is turned on, water then comes out of this opening. If the pump works as it is supposed to, air is sucked in the hole. If you do not notice any water coming out, flip the pump on and put a little water near the joint. If water moves in, there is a hole present.
The threaded fittings have leaks.
Does the pump have threaded fittings near the suction side? There could be a leak. As with the glued fittings, test to see if there is a problem. If there is, remove the fitting and put plumbing tape around it (about four layers). There is more help available in the "How to Glue Pool Fixtures Together" guide. Also consider if one of these fittings is closed when it should be open, sometimes these get turned off and issues arise. If you still can't figure it out – Give us a call today (714)613-0123

· Abstract: Comparism of five (5) different gillnet mesh sizes ranging from 50.8mm, 63.5mm, 78.2mm, 88.9mm, and 101.6mm was done at four (4) different sampling stations along the banks of the reservoir to evaluate the efficiency and selectivity of gillnet mesh sizes for assessing fish composition in Egbe water reservoir, between April, 2014 and January, 2016, they were designated as A (Odode), B (Church), C (Ayepe) and D (Dawodu). The nets were set at 6.00pm and hauling done in the morning at 8.00am, fishermen were well monitored to avoid sampling bias and ensure a constant fishing effort. The fishes were sorted into separate container based on gillnet mesh sizes and also species. The total length and weight of individual were taken, Simpson's index, Simpson reciprocal index and Evenness were determined. The percentage composition by biomass fish landing was recorded. 31,905 fishes belonging to 7 species and 5 families were recorded. The most abundant family was the Cichlids represented by 3 major species, Oreochromis niloticus, Coptodon zillii, and Tilapia guineensis. All the net types captured all the fish species but the smallest gill net mesh size (50.8mm) captured a greater number than others, this shows that the smaller bar mesh nets were more efficient for capturing more fishes than other graded mesh nets, but should be discouraged for artisanal fishing activities in the study area, other gears like hook and line, cast nets and traps should be encouraged.

Drag City
Joanna Newsom has announced Divers, her first album since 2010's Have One on Me. It's out October 23 via Drag City. She's also shared the video for first single"Sapokanikan", in which she sings while walking through New York City. The video was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed Newsom in Inherent Vice. See below.
Last year, Newsom said she was working on new music. (Two unreleased songs made their way to concerts:"Look and Despair"and"The Diver's Wife". Neither is explicitly included on Divers' tracklist.)Most recently, she appeared in and narratedInherent Vice.
Divers features arrangements from Newsom,Nico Muhly, Dirty Projectors' Dave Longstreth, andRyan Francesconi. It was recorded bySteve Albini and Noah Georgeson. - Pitchfork

Among scholars of the game of rock-paper-scissors, only a tiny minority also study monkeys. This fact, by itself, may explain why no studies were published until 2005 about what happens when monkeys play rock-paper-scissors.
Daeyeol Lee, Benjamin P McGreevy and Dominic J Barraclough of the University of Rochester, New York, wrote the first, and so far the only, report on the subject. "Learning and Decision Making in Monkeys During a Rock-Paper-Scissors Game" was published in the journal Cognitive Brain Research. The test subjects were male rhesus monkeys. No one explained the rules: rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper, paper covers rock. The scientists wanted to see whether the monkeys would learn from playing game after game after game. Each monkey got a sweet drop of juice after every tie, two drops after a win. It received nothing after a loss.
The scientists did not use real rocks, paper or scissors. Instead, they rigged a computer to display crude patterns of dots and circles. Different patterns represented a rock, a sheet of paper and a pair of scissors. The monkeys were not informed which symbol stood for what object. Each monkey sat in a chair, facing a monitor that flashed the symbols for rock, paper and scissors. Rather than being asked to make the traditional gesture for rock, paper or scissors, the monkey was expected to cast its gaze towards the symbol of its choice. The scientists tracked each monkey's eye movements and recorded the entire sequence of its choices.
There were only two monkeys. They worked hard. One monkey played the game for 41 days, making a total of 87,200 choices, an average of 2,127 rounds a day. The other played for 52 days, making a total of 82,661 choices, an average of 1,589 rounds a day. Over the long haul, each monkey chose paper about as often as it picked scissors. Both displayed an aversion to rocks.
The scientists used economics theory to critique the performance, saying: "Each animal displayed an idiosyncratic pattern substantially deviating from Nash equilibrium." This is a concept formulated by John Forbes Nash, awarded a Nobel prize in 1994 for his "pioneering analysis of equilibria in the theory of non-cooperative games". He was the subject of the 2001 film A Beautiful Mind. Since only two animals were tested, the team admitted that it was difficult to conclude exactly which strategies a monkey used. "This remains to be investigated in future studies."

Duchess of Cambridge chooses fashion-forward purple blouse for visit to a children's charity12th Mar 19 | Fashion
Kate's blouse and trousers impressed royal fashion watchers.
We're used to seeing the Duchess of Cambridge in dresses, gowns and frock coats – plus the occasional pair of skinny jeans when an appearance calls for casual clothing.
So it was surprising to see the 37-year-old today teaming a pair of high-waisted wide-leg trousers from high street brand Jigsaw, with a trendy Gucci blouse, while visiting a children's charity in south London.
Kate chose the uncharacteristically fashion-forward ensemble for an appearance at the Henry Fawcett Children's Centre in Kennington, where she chatted to parents and played with little ones.
She completed her look with a £495 Aspinal of London Mayfair lilac handbag and black suede high heels.
Unlike some of Kate's custom pieces, this outfit is still available to buy – if you've got about £900 to spare.
The Gucci Pussy-bow Silk-crepe Blouse, £790, is available in selected sizes from Net-a-Porter:
While the Jigsaw Modern Crepe Straight Trousers, £130, are available in sizes six to 16:
The outfit was praised by some fans for being elegant and understated, but others weren't happy Kate was wearing Gucci, a company that has recently been caught up in controversy around a 'blackface' jumper that had to be removed from sale. Some people have called for a boycott of the brand and its clothing.
Controversy aside, we're pleased to see the mum of three switching up her style and trying a new look, especially in winter when she often re-wears the same coats.
We've increasingly seen Kate trying more unusual outfits and can't help but think it could be down to the influence of her sister-in-law, the Duchess of Sussex, whose style is arguably more modern.
Whatever the reason, it's good to see Kate pushing the fashion envelope.

Differences in the binding affinities of bisphosphonates for bone mineral have been proposed to determine their localizations and duration of action within bone. The main objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that mineral binding affinity affects bisphosphonate distribution at the basic multicellular unit (BMU) level within both cortical and cancellous bone. To accomplish this objective, skeletally mature female rabbits (n = 8) were injected simultaneously with both low- and high-affinity bisphosphonate analogs bound to different fluorophores. Skeletal distribution was assessed in the rib, tibia, and vertebra using confocal microscopy. The staining intensity ratio between osteocytes contained within the cement line of newly formed rib osteons or within the reversal line of hemiosteons in vertebral trabeculae compared to osteocytes outside the cement/reversal line was greater for the high-affinity compared to the low-affinity compound. This indicates that the low-affinity compound distributes more equally across the cement/reversal line compared to a high-affinity compound, which concentrates mostly near surfaces. These data, from an animal model that undergoes intracortical remodeling similar to humans, demonstrate that the affinity of bisphosphonates for the bone determines the reach of the drugs in both cortical and cancellous bone.

The top-seeded Pomona-Pitzer men's basketball team won the 2019 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Postseason Tournament title for the first time since 2008 with a 68-45 win over third-seeded Occidental on the campus of Pomona-Pitzer on Saturday afternoon.
With the win, Pomona-Pitzer improves to 25-2 overall and earned the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Championship. Occidental moves to 22-5 and will await a possible at-large bid to the NCAA Championship. The men's selection show will take place at 9:30 a.m. and will be streamed on NCAA.com on Monday, February 25.
In the early stages of the first half, Pomona-Pitzer scored the game's opening bucket before Occidental opened up a 16-2 lead, highlighted by three-pointers from Caleb Yellin-Flaherty and Zach Baines, and a pair of buckets by Austin DeWitz.
The Sagehens snapped the run at 11:13 in the first half when Micah Elan hit a mid-range jumper that sparked a 6-0 run and pulled Pomona-Pitzer to within eight at 16-8. James Kelbert converted a pair of baskets in the paint to half the deficit.
The Sagehens continued to chip away as Elan knocked down a trey, and Corbin Koch made a layup to make it 18-13 with 7:08 to play in the opening frame. Three straight buckets by Pomona-Pitzer gave the hosts a 21-20 edge with 4:16 to play in the first half. A Daniel Rosenbaum three-pointer gave the Sagehens a 26-20 lead late in the stanza before a layup by Kelbert with 41 seconds capped the late first half surge and set the score at 31-22 at halftime.
Pomona-Pitzer continued to find its rhythm in the second half, scoring 13 of the first 17 points to open up a 44-26 lead with 12 minutes to play. The Tigers' Jacob Adler drained a three-pointer to halt the Sagehens' run, and Yellin Flaherty hit a jumper to make it 44-31 with 11:30 left in regulation.
Pomona-Pitzer extended its lead to 20 on a three-pointer by Elan to make it 53-33 with 8:32 remaining in the second half. From there, the Sagehens continued to pull away, eventually seeing out the 68-45 win.
Elan, who was named the tournament MVP, finished with 21 points, while Rosenbaum and Alex Preston added 14 and 12 respectively. Koch chipped in eight rebounds, while Rosenbaum dished out five assists.
Yellin-Flaherty led Occidental with 11 points, while Ryan Kaneshiro added 10 points and seven boards in the loss for the Tigers.

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has changed its stance from 'neutral' to 'calibrated tightening' on Thursday. It came in the MPCs sixth bi-monthly monetary policy review meeting. The surprise factor alongwith it was the repo rate that was cut of 25 basis points (bps).
The rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will help banks to address liquidity issues and at the same time, low cost of funds is likely to boost consumption, suggest experts. Fall in the cost of funds will also aid lending, so it is positive for banks as well as NBFCs.
"A rate cut of 25 basis points is an act of fine balance between maintaining real income and boosting economic growth. Benign inflation trajectory and low private capex were key enablers for a rate cut, which is good for mid and small-cap companies," Dharmesh Kant, Head – Retail Research, IndiaNivesh told Moneycontrol.
The RBI has removed 100 percent risk weights for NBFCs and now their risk weights will be as per their rating, which is a positive development for higher rated NBFCs, suggest experts. The future commentary suggests that more cuts are in the offing that will be taken positively by traders and investors.
RBI said that with a view to facilitating the flow of credit to well-rated NBFCs, it has now been decided that rated exposures of banks to all NBFCs, excluding Core Investment Companies (CICs), would be risk-weighted. This will be as per the ratings assigned by the accredited rating agencies, in a manner similar to that for corporates.
"It's a double bonanza for NBFCs—low cost of funds and a boost in consumption on account of low inflation/high disposal income. What interim Budget 2019 missed for corporates has been largely compensated by the monetary policy committee's change in stance to neutral. It will bring stability to the financial environment," Kant said.
In the fifth bi-monthly monetary policy resolution in December 2018, CPI inflation for 2018-19 was projected in the range of 2.7-3.2 percent in H2:2018-19 and 3.8-4.2 percent in H1:2019-20, with risks tilted to the upside.
The actual inflation outcome at 2.6 percent in Q3:2018-19 was marginally lower than the projection. There have been downward revisions in inflation projections during the course of the year, which hints at a possibility of further rate cuts in the offing.
"The RBI MPC has delighted market participants by changing stance to neutral and cutting repo rate by 25 bps. Q3FY20 inflation expectation cut to 3.9 percent means some more rate cuts can be expected in the course of the next few meetings," Dhiraj Relli, MD & CEO, HDFC Securities on RBI Monetary Policy told Moneycontrol.
"Bond yields are likely to fall materially when FPIs revise their short-term view on India (overcoming their fears on the fiscal situation). Equity markets could rise some more, welcoming an attempt to address recent issues in the credit markets, ultimately leading to higher growth," he said.

I don't like leaving things to chance, and I am lazy and like to make it as easy as possible. I have setup database backups via a cron job that run every day and append 0-6 corresponding to the day. There is a script wp-db-backup that does the backup to a dropbox folder and reads the database names from databases.txt. I have a script wp-db-restore that will create the databases and populate it with the current days backup, so you need to have run wp-db-backup on the same day or hard code the number. It is similar in that it reads from the databases.txt file. The wp-hosts-secure that reads from the hosts.txt file and secures all of the sites. Last but not least there is crontab.txt that contains the files that will run at 1:00am each day.
Before you edit your crontab, you will need to edit you .bash_profile and add the editor you want to use, such as nano. It defaults to vim, which will be uncomfortable for a lot of people, so be sure and do it first.

Why are you in a classroom teaching? Why did you become a principal? Where are you headed as a district administrator?
If you're not sure or can't remember, let me introduce you to the Japanese concept of Ikigai. In a recent article, Laura Oliver from the World Economic Forum delved into the concept that is often linked with happy and long-lived populations.
As Laura explains,
"While there is no direct English translation, ikigai is thought to combine the Japanese words ikiru, meaning "to live," and kai, meaning "the realization of what one hopes for." Together these definitions create the concept of "a reason to live" or the idea of having a purpose in life."
As a mid-career professional, a parent, and a spouse it is easy to fall into a familiar but stifling routine. If you are feeling like you are in a rut or just looking to happier life, ask yourself these 4 questions:
- What do you love?
- What are you good at?
- What does the world need from you?
- What can you get paid for?
Ikigai's key philosophy is to find balance in those four areas. If you are unbalanced, you will be less happy.

Engineers make artificial skin out of nanowires
Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a pressure-sensitive electronic material from semiconductor nanowires that could one day give new meaning to the term "thin-skinned." "The idea is to have a material that functions like the human skin, which means incorporating the ability to feel and touch objects," said Ali Javey, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences and head of the UC Berkeley research team developing the artificial skin.
The artificial skin, dubbed "e-skin" by the UC Berkeley researchers, is described in a Sept. 12 paper in the advanced online publication of the journal Nature Materials. It is the first such material made out of inorganic single crystalline semiconductors.
A touch-sensitive artificial skin would help overcome a key challenge in robotics: adapting the amount of force needed to hold and manipulate a wide range of objects.
"Humans generally know how to hold a fragile egg without breaking it," said Javey, who is also a member of the Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center and a faculty scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Materials Sciences Division. "If we ever wanted a robot that could unload the dishes, for instance, we'd want to make sure it doesn't break the wine glasses in the process. But we'd also want the robot to be able to grip a stock pot without dropping it."
A longer term goal would be to use the e-skin to restore the sense of touch to patients with prosthetic limbs, which would require significant advances in the integration of electronic sensors with the human nervous system.
Previous attempts to develop an artificial skin relied upon organic materials because they are flexible and easier to process.
"The problem is that organic materials are poor semiconductors, which means electronic devices made out of them would often require high voltages to operate the circuitry," said Javey. "Inorganic materials, such as crystalline silicon, on the other hand, have excellent electrical properties and can operate on low power. They are also more chemically stable. But historically, they have been inflexible and easy to crack. In this regard, works by various groups, including ours, have recently shown that miniaturized strips or wires of inorganics can be made highly flexible – ideal for high performance, mechanically bendable electronics and sensors."
The UC Berkeley engineers utilized an innovative fabrication technique that works somewhat like a lint roller in reverse. Instead of picking up fibers, nanowire "hairs" are deposited.
The researchers started by growing the germanium/silicon nanowires on a cylindrical drum, which was then rolled onto a sticky substrate. The substrate used was a polyimide film, but the researchers said the technique can work with a variety of materials, including other plastics, paper or glass. As the drum rolled, the nanowires were deposited, or "printed," onto the substrate in an orderly fashion, forming the basis from which thin, flexible sheets of electronic materials could be built.
In another complementary approach utilized by the researchers, the nanowires were first grown on a flat source substrate, and then transferred to the polyimide film by a direction-rubbing process.
For the e-skin, the engineers printed the nanowires onto an 18-by-19 pixel square matrix measuring 7 centimeters on each side. Each pixel contained a transistor made up of hundreds of semiconductor nanowires. Nanowire transistors were then integrated with a pressure sensitive rubber on top to provide the sensing functionality. The matrix required less than 5 volts of power to operate and maintained its robustness after being subjected to more than 2,000 bending cycles.
The researchers demonstrated the ability of the e-skin to detect pressure from 0 to 15 kilopascals, a range comparable to the force used for such daily activities as typing on a keyboard or holding an object. In a nod to their home institution, the researchers successfully mapped out the letter C in Cal.
"This is the first truly macroscale integration of ordered nanowire materials for a functional system – in this case, an electronic skin," said study lead author Kuniharu Takei, post-doctoral fellow in electrical engineering and computer sciences. "It's a technique that can be potentially scaled up. The limit now to the size of the e-skin we developed is the size of the processing tools we are using."
