Chris Borland shocked the sports world when he left the N.F.L. after his rookie season, saying the long-term health risks of playing football were not worth it.
Now, Borland is going further, appearing in a public service announcement that denounces the N.F.L. for hiding the risks of catastrophic brain damage.
In the announcement, Borland discusses his decision to leave the N.F.L., and how the league spent years trying to play down and discredit research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease known as C.T.E. that is linked to repeated head trauma.
In the one-minute spot, which is now online and will be shown on various television channels, Borland said that the league's efforts to suppress the risks of the disease "is especially sad when you think about the fact that there are 5-year-old kids out there playing tackle football."
N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell has said repeatedly that dozens of rules changes have made the game of football safer than ever before. The league has also committed to spending tens of millions of dollars to develop safer equipment and to pay for research into the effects of playing the game.
The N.F.L. did not immediately return a call for comment.
Borland, who played one standout season as a linebacker with the San Francisco 49ers before abruptly leaving the league, is working with the Union of Concerned Scientists, an activist group of independent scientists who cite the N.F.L. in its Disinformation Playbook, a new website exposing the ways that some companies and trade associations "sideline science."
According to the group, the N.F.L. attacked the facts about concussions and C.T.E. similar to the ways the tobacco industry, fossil fuel companies and the makers of sugary sodas try to obscure health consequences of their products.
"The costs are high, and the N.F.L. has made a lot of money while passing those costs on to the players, their families and their communities. We need to stop this from continuing — in football and in other industries — by standing up for science," Borland said in the public service announcement.

Army Veteran Beth Fynbo Makes Mealtimes Easier for New Parents
As the daughter of an entrepreneur, Beth Fynbo always knew she wanted to be an entrepreneur, too. She just didn't know what her big entrepreneurial idea would be.
When the Army veteran had her first child, she knew the time had come for that idea to arrive. As her maternity leave ended, she found herself working full-time and commuting 90 minutes each way. Her schedule left just an hour to spend time with her son before putting him to bed.
During that long commute, she resolved to find an idea that would allow her to set her own hours and spend more time with her son. Soon after, Beth was at a restaurant with her friends whose babies were throwing toys on the floor throughout the entire meal. The babies were cute but distracting. It was the moment that sparked Beth's entrepreneurial idea, the Busy Baby Mat.
First, however, Beth went to Amazon to see if a product existed that could stop babies from throwing everything onto the floor during meals. There was nothing. In lieu of an existing product, Beth decided to make her own.
Her first MVP was a placemat that she made by filling a baking pan with silicone caulk. For her next iteration, she ordered a silicone placemat designed to keep pet food bowls in place and glued on suction cups and fishing tethers tied to toys, and she continued to iterate from there. After five versions, she had a mat she could give to friends to test on their children, and it worked.
Beth knew that the Busy Baby Mat was a legitimate product, but had no idea how to turn it into something people could buy. She contacted a friend from the Army to ask for advice, and the friend recommended Bunker Labs. Beth joined Bunker Lab's Launch Lab Cohort Presented by U.S. Bank and became the eventual winner of her cohort's April 2018 Pressure Test pitch competition.
Through Launch Lab Cohort, Beth validated that her idea and product had value outside of her circle of friends and family. Knowing that she had a product-market fit gave her the confidence to pursue more the financially risky next steps of scaling her product.
Along the way, Beth encountered numerous challenges including patenting her Busy Baby Mat, finding a team of product developers that could understand and execute her vision, and finding retailers to carry her product once it launches. Throughout, she's leaned on a mantra she learned in the military: Adapt and overcome.
"When you're out in the field, you just need to carry on," Beth said. "If something goes wrong or you're missing something, you need to be flexible and tackle challenges as they come."
The mantra worked. "With this journey, I've not at any point been discouraged that I don't know everything or that something isn't as expected," she said. "My first thought isn't to quit or be down on myself, but 'What do I need to do to make this work?'"
She found her product developers after attending the North American International Toy Fair in New York. The team is based in Utah and also has an office in China, making it easier to inspect manufactured products before accepting a shipment. The product developers are currently working on a full prototype that Beth can test. Provided everything goes well and Beth can raise the requisite funding, she will move forward with her first manufacturing run of 5,000 units in time for the 2018 holiday season.
Beth values the network of resources Launch Lab Cohort provided and the in-person instruction from University of Minnesota professor Toby Nord, Bunker Labs executive director Tim O'Neil, and Mike Conroy.
Working with other veterans was also a benefit. Beth spent ten years in active duty in the Army, serving first as a electronic warfare linguist. She learned Russian and Serbo-Croatian and was deployed to Bosnia. When she returned from Bosnia, she re-enlisted as a broadcaster. She was stationed in Italy and deployed to Kuwait and Iraq where she worked as one of the first embedded journalists in 2003. She documented and broadcast news stories that were aired on the American Forces Network.
"Veterans share a certain attitude about life that civilians who have never served or been part of the military don't share," Beth said. "It's a lot easier to communicate and network with other veterans." Working on her business surrounded by other veteran entrepreneurs, she said, was refreshing.

Build It at Great Explorations Summer Camp!/
This week, campers explored tools and techniques for designing and building their own cityscapes, birdhouses and more!
Nicole Morelli and Mark Fairweather design and build a lot of the amazing things you can see around Great Ex. They took time out of their schedules to show campers a museum floor plan and talk about designing exhibits. They then invited campers to draft plans for a new exhibit!
Reading the book My Apron by Eric Carle inspired our youngest campers to decorate their own tool aprons. Of course they needed some tools to put in their aprons, so they explored using real tools and safety equipment.
Our youngest campers love to look at books for inspiration, information and ideas! Reading How a House is Built by Gail Gibbons helped them decorate and build their own houses.
Campers took a break from building to do a chalk cityscape art project that presented some challenges and produced some amazing results!
The older kids designed their own skyline on cardstock and then cut them out to make a template.
Once the templates were cut, campers then outlines the skylines in colored chalk on black construction paper. For the final touch, they used a smudging technique to make it look like the buildings were lit up.
Once the chalk was smudged, campers loved the finished product - it looked like they were glowing!
After the hard work of exploring new building and art tools and techniques, campers needed to cut loose a little!
Summer camp art explorations are made possible with the support of Creative Pinellas and the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners.
Stay tuned next week as we go Under the Sea!

Maroons coach Kevin Walters will really be sweating on the fitness of Johnathan Thurston now.
Accotding to News, Broncos five-eighth Anthony Milford dislocated his shoulder on Friday night, during his side's victory over the Rabbitohs. The injury occurred when he landed awkwardly on his left shoulder, while diving for a loose ball.
"It will be a six week process at least," said Broncos coach Wayne Bennett. "We'll see where he is at the end of that, and whether he can play the rest of the season, or it's season-ending."
Conveniently for the Broncos, former Kiwis half Benji Marshall was in fine touch when he came onto the field, and they also have the option of calling up 3-Test Kangaroo Ben Hunt from reserve grade.

– Who is really insulted, the president or the Movement? When self-interest rules! –
I find the silence of some in the top 6 leadership and the NEC rather annoying, cheap, and factionalised to pronounce on everything but not to defend the Centenary President of the ANC, J. G. Zuma.
Some have gone out of their way to prove oppositional from pure ambitious and self-interest reasons.
The deputy president and treasurer of the ANC have yet to tell Julius Malema he has no right to insult the democratically elected President of the ANC and SA in this centenary year in this fashion.
This lack of defence of the President is less a lack of defence of the president but the Movement. The silence of those who claim to love this movement is noted. It is folly to think a rebuke of Julius means naturally an agreement to a second term of the president.
I have and will always contend that there is no reason to allow this vilification of any sitting president only because you hope to benefit from his threatened removal. Please do not raise it is right because it happened before, that is such a shallow argument for it being wrong remains wrong in history even now.
It appears the friends of Malema in the top 6 and NEC, is more concerned about a political agenda than healing the organisation. It appears that they like those who do not know want to blame the president for the ANC crises or challenge. If the ANC is in crises, today it has to be levelled at all in the NEC and particularly the Top 6. Many of these NEC members belong to the million dollar high mile club, money accrued from the very apartheid economy
Every day in SA when this expelled former ANCYL president speaks it is in insult of the president yet Motlanthe and Phosa or any so called diligent ANC NEC member is yet to pronounce and tell Malema he dare not insult the ANC.
The sickness of tolerating this uncouth behaviour and proving silent on this resonates in this that we have NEC members who believe it is their God given right to benefit and they cannot be rebuked.
Today we see the same faces in a campaign again; Siphiwe Nyanda leads his own pack still mad because he was relieved of his duties as minister of communications, and acts as if he controls the military history of the ANC. Nyanda is quick to remind us that the MK veterans do not belong to Zuma as a private army, which is correct yet it also does not belong to no general including Nyanda.
Is it not time we ask has the ANC fallen in such shallowness of personality rhetoric that nothing matters than to support a campaign to dethrone Zuma at a "Promised Mangaung of Revenge"
Leadership demands that we prove prudent as to how we allow the values of what the ANC stands for to rule us even our ambitions.
I dare assert, perhaps JZ has come to the table at the most difficult time in post-apartheid sense and many refuse to see his leadership and chooses to disregard him for myopic reasons less of substance but informed by sentiment.
I find the silence when the movement is under attack by an expelled youth leader deplorable.
I find the silence when the ANC president is under fire of cheap insults from a egoistic weak mind of Malema equally repugnant, I find the silence of some for cheap personal interest disgusting, for they yet must show their hands and defend this ANC and its presence, unless they sit behind Malema's campaign and claims.
Malema can boldly say "I will be back when Zuma is gone" because he is truly controlling even those who claim to be in the ANC for decades. Never before in the history of this movement has anyone found it his birthright to insult to the pander of media embrace an ANC president the way Malema has ordained himself a right. I can accept that as an expelled member mixed with youthfulness he will react the way he does, but the silence of ANC leaders in this season is excruciating to say the least.
If these think Malema is correct, let them wait for in their season of power they too will deal with their own.
The silence of some, one must surmise is a direct allegiance to self and a campaign to fight to have JZ removed as a so-called escape of complicity to the state of the ANC.
I doubt the commitment some ANC NEC members and top 6 leadership have towards the ANC. For Phosa to argue no one is guaranteed a second term is not objective nor proving leadership instead it's to play on the idea that the president is not guaranteed a second term, it's less about all as is portrayed. We see through the shallow rhetoric of these pronouncements and understand them for what they really are meant.
Our leaders refuse to defend the ANC and fuel this destruction of the movement in cheap factionalism. Motlanthe cannot afford to say Malema you are wrong because his path to power is a sponsored one from the very people and claim constituency of Malema backers.
I guess Malema will force him to bring him back after he made him, and later will say I regret I ever nominated Motlanthe, when Motlanthe in interest of the ANC will act and upset the Malema campaign.
The proverbial Titanic is in trouble and yet there are those who prove silent for selfish reasons, they act as if they are not to blame for the ANC trouble and like uninformed people outside the ANC believe a removal of JZ ( which will not happen) will fix all things.
I hope they live to see the error of their ways and the scales fall from their eyes to see their personal investment in the destruction of the ANC.
A defence of the president against this malicious attacks is a defence of the movement who elected him like all others before democratically. A non-defence of the ANC it is president and its leadership is an investment into disrespected leadership for the future.
There is an old saying that goes "those who sin with you can sin against you." Hopefully sense prevail and the blessedness of having Malema not in the ANC will one day be credited to astute leadership in torrid times.

Studied grapheme–color synesthesia, a neurological condition in which people associate letters and numbers with colors.
Investigated letter-color pairs across English-, Spanish-, and German-speaking populations
Utilized complex circular correlational statistics to determine that the hue associated with a letter is strongly correlated with the frequency of that letter in written language
Repeated correlational analyzes across three languages and three distinct groups of synesthetes
Ruled out other possible influences, such as letter order, color term frequency, and cultural biases, via supplementary studies
Integrated findings into current developmental accounts of synesthesia: the findings help to explain the cause of individual grapheme-color associations and suggests that synesthetes' exposure to written language guides the grapheme–color associations that they form.
Bolstered previous neurophysiological data, which suggested excess neural connections between cortical area V4 and the visual word form area in synesthetes, due to the neuroanatomy of these areas, organized by color hue and letter frequency
Provided the first large-scale collection of Spanish-speaking synesthetes' letter-color associations.
Presentations at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting, the Vision Sciences Society Annual Meeting, the International Conference for Cognitive and Neural Systems, the American Junior Academy of Science, the UK Synesthesia and Cross-Modal Perception conference, the American Synesthesia Association Conference, and President Obama's White House Science Fair
Published in Journal of Vision
Figure 1. Letter frequencies and associated colors. The letters are ordered from most frequent (left) to least frequent (right). The letters are shaded in the hue most commonly associated with that color. For example, nearly every German synesthete sees "N," one the most common letters in the German language, as red (Emrich, Schneider, Zedler, 2004). On the other hand, most English-speaking synesthetes see "N," a moderately frequent letter in English, as green. (Some letters are excluded due to their predominant hue being indeterminate, such as brown or gray.)
Table 1. Circular correlation between hue and letter frequency. Includes the correlation and p values for the circular correlation between each language's letter frequencies and each language's associated color hues.

Hi All,
I have been able to successfully do the following but I am having a hard time with the guide "Convert to MGRS Grid" as it uses the older 10.9.2 Runtime SDK. Usually I would simply use the older Runtime but unfortunately support for Mobile Map Packages came in 100.2.1 so it is not possible for me as I need offline map access.
- Setup ArcGIS to use .mmpk offline file.
- Created .TPK so it could be used to make Mobile Map Package in ArcGIS Pro
- Added MGRS grid to map
The Link below is exactly the feature I am after but unfortunately no samples for Runtime 100.2.1 exist from what I can find. When trying to change the dependencies to suit new runtime environment I am unable to restore all dependencies using 100.2.1 Runtime.
Sample Link: https://developers.arcgis.com/android/10-2/sample-code/convert2mgrsgrid/
Thanks in advance for any assistance !

Becoming My Best as a Medical Interpreter - By Geri McClymont
"I work as a medical interpreter because I love it. I love the fact that I am a bridge between the patient and the medical provider, relaying critical and even life-saving information back and forth between the two parties. I love the fact that I am an advocate for the patient, speaking up for him or her when necessary. I love knowing that what I do is making a difference in the lives of others. However, I have learned that in order to be the most effective medical interpreter, the very best that I can be, I must be proactive."

Blue Steel
Blue Steel
"Blue Steel" is a hand crafted top hat made out of foam with the appearance of aged wrought iron that has been tinted steel blue. Even from just a few inches away it looks like actual sheets of metal were riveted together to form the hat.
"Blue Steel" has a rich black leather band and a pair or spiked welding goggles around the brim. Accented with a large silver decorative disk and three curly braided silver wires that have small ceramic skulls hanging from each.
The hat shown is an example of this design. All hats are individually hand made and while largely similar in appearance some minor variations should be expected.

Cut out some eyes from construction paper and stick them on the jars before you put on the tissue so you can have the eyes slightly covered and just peeking. Cats What s Halloween without black cats? Use paper plates to create cat masks or some cotton and crepe paper to create billowing streamers. Skeletons The most common skeleton man would be made out of white or luminous paint on black background. You can however create a good looking skeleton with different kinds of pasta. Wouldn t it be awesome to do some Halloween arts and crafts to transform your home into one of the scariest haunted houses in town? Your kids will absolutely love this idea. All you need is a theme some accessories appropriate lighting and sound effects. Cemetery Halloween Arts and Crafts Theme Coffins bones stone hedges and dead bodies are appropriate for a cemetery theme.
Pumpkins Gone are the days of messy pumpkin carving. You can easily have pumpkin paper lanterns as Halloween arts and crafts for kids projects. If you don t like lanterns you can still make pumpkins out of paper plates milk containers and construction paper. One other great alternative would be pumpkin baskets made of paper mache. Witches Paper plates and cardboard can be used when making a witch Halloween arts and crafts for kids. As an alternative you can create a witch doctor look instead of a western witch by incorporating beaded necklaces and homemade stuffed voodoo dolls. Spiders Spiders are among the most popular Halloween arts and crafts for kids. Spiders can be as simple as construction paper or egg cup carton hangers. They can also be made of pom poms or colored cotton balls.
Halloween Wreaths - Horrible Halloween Art! Do you dare to make some horrible art for Halloween? We dare you! Nothing Cute allowed! UGLY or CREEPY is what we re after here... as in HALLOWEEN! This is creative fun for a family a scout troop a classroom afterschool program. It s a good idea to partner an adult with children 6 and under.. Get all the materials collected about a week ahead of time and do the project a few days before Halloween... paint-drying time is needed as you will see below so you may need three sessions to complete the project. Every wreath will be unique... it s a very creative project. You could make one ahead of time so you have a sample but remind the kids to do their own design. Materials: 3 wire hangers per wreath Newspaper or packing paper Hot glue gun - low temp is OK. Scissors Black and or Orange Spray paint (a kind that holds up outside) Decorations - such as plastic eyeballs rubber bats plastic spiders and some more ugly ugly stuff: fake worms plastic peanuts with googly eyes plastic cockroaches torn up egg cartons. straw... nothing cute allowed! How to do it: Straighten out the hangers.

Natasha Andrusky (Saskatoon, SK)
Born 1981
Natasha Andrusky grew up in Calgary where she was taught how to crochet from her great aunt and how to knit from her childhood best friend. She majored in sculpture at the Alberta College of Art + Design where she rediscovered a love for yarn and weaving. After receiving her BFA in 2003, Natasha worked in a variety of fields, completed the Arts and Cultural Management Program at Grant MacEwan University, and went on to work at the Canadian Diabetes Association. Throughout every job she has maintained her love for knitting and weaving.
My goal with making the Viking Toques is to make them look as realistic as possible with the irony that they are made out of soft flexible fibres. Armour which is typically made of protective materials such as steel, leathers, chainmail, etc, is being made from yarn manipulated to look like it's protective. We all wear a protective layer but it is vulnerable and easily wounded. Each toque is unique and expresses a different personality, making it so anyone who puts on the toque, automatically become a fierce warrior.

Radio resource allocation for OFDM-based dynamic spectrum sharing: Duality gap and time averaging
This paper considers radio resource allocation (RRA) in the downlink of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDM)-based spectrum-sharing network. The objective of RRA is to maximize the average achievable throughput subject to the primary service interference threshold and the secondary service transmit power constraint. RRA is usually implemented based on a time window T over which system parameters are averaged and checked against resource constraints. We use short-term (T=1 time slot) and long-term (T\gg 1 slots) averaging as approximations to instantaneous and average constraints, respectively. RRA is also investigated for this system with long-term interference threshold and short-term interference threshold constraints. RRA optimization is a nonconvex optimization problem in which the duality principle is adopted to obtain approximate solutions. The duality gap indicates the degree of approximation in the thus-obtained solution. We prove that the duality gap corresponding to each resource allocation asymptotically decays at least with an exponential rate of T. We further show that OFDMA is, asymptotically, the optimal subcarrier assignment. We also propose a practically implementable online power and subcarrier allocation with on-the-fly channel state information measurement. An extensive simulation study has been conducted to verify the theoretically predicted duality gap behavior and to investigate the impact of different system parameters on the secondary service performance. The developed algorithms are also validated to be robust in practical settings and converge fast to theoretical bounds, and thus practically implementable.

Local independent bookstores help foster a sense of community, and that's what drew me to Little Shop of Stories in Decatur, Georgia. The first time I walked through their doors during the Decatur Book Festival many years ago, I could see that this bookstore was doing more than selling Children's and Young Adult books. They were promoting a literary community in Decatur for children, adults, and even dogs (more on the dogs later). Little Shop of Stories is the type of bookstore that I walk into knowing I'm going to end up finding at least one or two things I have to buy. It's the type of place I recommend to friends whenever they're visiting from out of town and looking for something fun to do. Because, as corny as this might sound, it's more than a bookstore. It's a fun place to be.
This past weekend while I was in Atlanta visiting friends and family, I had an opportunity to sit down with Justin Colussy-Estes to talk more about Little Shop of Stories, what makes this store so awesome, and its connection to the Decatur community.
When I mentioned to Justin that I first discovered Little Shop of Stories when I wandered in during the Decatur Book Festival, he explained to me that, "the book festival is here [in Decatur] in part because the guys that started it did all this research and this is one of the highest concentrations of reading populations, certainly in Atlanta, but also in Georgia and regionally." And yet despite that, there were no bookstores to speak of in downtown Decatur before Little Shop of Stories. That's where store owners Dave and Diane came in to open this shop, a store that appeals to kids, young adults, and adults, despite being first and foremost a children's bookstore.
"Most bookstores are 80% adult books and 20% kids books, I'm guessing, but we flip that," Justin told me. "So we do have adult books, but only probably about 20%. But that means that we don't have to be everything to anybody. We select our books based on what we think our customers will want." I have certainly never had difficulty finding a title I want at Little Shop of Stories, and I think a lot of that has to do with the carefully selected and displayed books. All of them seem personally curated, so I never have to wade through a stack of boring books to get to the fun stuff. Everything on their shelves looks good.
Justin explained to me why this 80/20 model works so well for them: "Customers trust us in terms of books for their kids, so that carries over and they trust us for our adult selections as well. We don't have to have everything. We just have to try to make sure the books we have are things we're passionate about and that we serve the community in that way."
Little Shop of Stories also serves the community through constantly hosting events such as author signings, book clubs, story times, sleepovers, and summer camps (just to name a few). On the left, you can see their line-up of 2018 Summer Camps, starting with Camp Be the Change, a summer camp for young political activists, on May 29-June 1, and ending with Camp Hogwarts (if you can't figure out what that camp is about, then we're not friends), July 30-August 3.
If your kids can't hold out for summer camps to get in on the Little Shop of Stories Action, there's a Little Shop Slumber Party April 27-28 for girls currently in the 3rd-5th grade. All proceeds will benefit On The Same Page, a community-wide reading initiative, bringing families together around the same book. So there's a lot of super cool kids-only events happening in the store basically all the time.
But grown-ups, there's plenty of fun stuff for you to get involved in at the shop as well. They have five book groups that are exclusively for adults. There's a Not So YA Book Club for those of us who are grown ups but still enjoy a good YA book every now and then. There's also a Poetry & Wine Club, which they describe as a very "non-pretentious" group of adults getting together to drink wine and talk about poetry.
On Thursday, March 29, the guys at Little Shop of Stories are hosting an evening of conversation with Leslie Odom, Jr., Tony/Grammy award winner and now author of the book Failing Up, at Gaines Auditorium in Presser Hall of Agnes Scott College. Tickets are still available, and tickets come with a pre-signed copy of the book. For more information on this and other upcoming events, check out their event page here.
If you're more of a chill type person who doesn't want to get involved in big ticket events and just wants to hang out at a pretty bookstore, Little Shop of Stories has you covered there too. "We had two customers in here an hour ago. Today's their anniversary," Justin said. "They were able to take time off from work, and they were like, 'We just wanted to hang out so we came here to buy books.' They come here, and they know that they'll get a breather, and the book they saw out of the corner of their eye while they were chasing their toddler around the store will be here." And really, is there anything more romantic than shopping for books with the person you love most?
Speaking of special someones, Little Shop of Stories has even hosted a wedding in their event space before for a couple who met at one of their book clubs. And here's where the dogs come back into the picture. On the day of the Royal Wedding, Little Shop of Stories hosted a Royal Dog Wedding for two of their lovely canine customers. Justin informed me they'll actually be renewing their vows soon, so look out for more information on that, animal lovers.
I absolutely love everything about Little Shop of Stories: the general aesthetics of the store that make it so fun to browse, their activism for both children and adults, their connection to the community, and their connection to the schools. Justin told me, "We have a tight connection to the schools [in Decatur] because we know that community is why we thrive." In solidarity with students around the country today, they opened at 10:18am rather than their regular time at 10am to stand outside for one minute for every life lost at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
After my visit to Little Shop of Stories this past weekend, I left the store the way I always leave it, a little bit happier, with a little bit more faith in the community, and obviously with a couple new books as well. This time, I bought The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin and Warcross by Marie Lu. You can buy these two titles and much more in store or in their new online store (click the links above).
I'd like to thank Little Shop of Stories for being so great, and special thanks to Justin Colussy-Estes for taking the time to speak with me.
- Emily

I remember how my mom had a panic attack on his 2 year death anniversary and had to go to the ER. Even though she remarried and I love my stepdad, of course I miss my dad! In fact, I had a dream about him last night finding out that he never passed away...only to wake up remembering that he was cremated. I can so relate about feeling guilty when your mom wasn't on your mind. For months after my dad's death, I would regret deeply about all the times I treated him badly or not wanting to spend time with him (especially because he was a bit overprotective). You will get through this. Time heals all wounds. Of course you will miss your mom and think of her everyday (like I still think of my dad and it's almost been 6 years), but it will slowly become more and more bearable. You got this!

And survivor guilt is a thing that many people experience, it's not something you should beat yourself up over. Everyone heals at their own pace. I still have bad days now, over 20 years later, but I can say that it will get easier in time. Take all the time you need, and remind those of your friends that while their lives might have moved on, yours hasn't done so in the same way. They need to be aware of that so they can offer a shoulder to cry on, if nothing else. Thank you for sharing this, it's very courageous of you xx

- Livermore (90+2)
Premier League, May 5 2018
Darren Moore's impressive spell as West Brom caretaker manager hit a new height with this dramatic late victory over a below-par Tottenham at The Hawthorns. Jake Livermore's stoppage-time winner was enough to earn the Baggies all three points from a contest dominated – at least in terms of possession – by Mauricio Pochettino's visitors, and keep alive the hosts' slim hopes of a great escape. Subsequent results meant that Albion's encouraging recent run would prove too little, too late in the fight for Premier League safety, but both performance and result added to the argument in favour of giving Moore the reins ahead of what is now a Championship campaign for next season.
Starting line-ups
Shots / On target
Passes / Accurate
Fouls / Yellow / Red
Analysis: West Brom
West Brom set up in a 4-4-1-1 that would occasionally become a 4-4-2 or a 4-5-1 depending on the state of the game.
The Baggies made their intentions very clear from the start. They would concede possession and deny Tottenham the space to attack in dangerous areas. They kept the distances between their lines extremely compact, and forced Spurs to seek creative solutions or resort to hopeful clips into the box. They cleared the latter with little trouble, Ahmed Hegazi in particular a warrior at the back throughout.
The hosts would rarely press in central areas, instead looking to force Spurs into wide areas, where they would double up on the attacking wing-backs. Matt Phillips and Allan Nyom did this with superb consistency against Danny Rose on the Tottenham left, repeatedly preventing any crosses of genuine quality coming into the box.
In transition, West Brom looked a little vulnerable as they had less control over the larger spaces – but they generally recovered well as a team and managed to escape any real threat. They might have been exploited by a team moving the ball with greater speed and with more willing runners than Tottenham on the day, however.
In possession, the hosts had limited options and didn't see much of the ball. The key strategy was to clear the ball with height and distance to Salomon Rondon, who would either run into the channel or look to hold the ball up. They also looked to play to their wide men, Phillips and James McClean, in the space vacated by Rose and Kieran Trippier, but their crosses were often blocked.
Rondon was particularly adept at winning fouls for his team through his hold-up play, providing West Brom with further opportunities to get the ball into the box – a key area of strength. The eventual switch of Rondon for Daniel Sturridge appeared a strange one, then, but it did allow them to try to build attacks rather than just send the ball forward – and the introduction of Nacer Chadli also made the home side more threatening on the counter-attack.
That said, the goal came from a set-piece. Phillips took the inswinging corner, which Dawson attacked at the back post before Livermore managed to scramble it over the line and earn his rookie manager an impressive scalp.
In pictures
West Brom set up in a 4-4-1-1 formation, with Jay Rodriguez playing behind Salomon Rondon up front. Out of possession, they looked to deny Tottenham space and force them into errors rather than pressing to try and regain the ball.
The hosts doubled up in wide areas in a bid to prevent Spurs from creating chances through their attack-minded wing-backs Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier. Allan Nyom and Matt Phillips, operating against Rose on the West Brom right, proved particularly effective in this regard.
The Baggies did have a potential weakness in their defensive transition, where the visitors' attacking midfielders could find space to drive forward before the home team had time to organise their disciplined blocks. Spurs failed to take full advantage of this, however.
West Brom's main attacking strategy was to send the ball long to Rondon, who would either chase it beyond the Spurs defence or look to hold it up and bring others into play.
After Rondon was replaced by Daniel Sturridge on 74 minutes, West Brom looked to build through the thirds more. The central pairing of Chris Brunt and Jake Livermore looked to get on the ball more regularly.
Tottenham set up in a 3-2-4-1 formation, with Victor Wanyama and Christian Eriksen sitting deep in midfield and wing-backs Danny Rose (out of shot here) and Kieran Trippier in very advanced positions. They would drop into a 3-4-2-1 in the defensive phase.
Lone striker Harry Kane started to come very deep early on, but rarely to receive the ball. Instead, he would look to make late runs from these positions in the hope of not being tracked. This confused West Brom initially, but they adapted well and were rarely troubled by this.
Tottenham often found themselves with too many players in front of the home side's block. With fewer players in between and behind the Baggies' defensive lines, there was less opportunity to pull players out of position and create space for penetration.
Spurs had to resort to crosses from deep positions – here delivered by one of the back three in Toby Alderweireld – because of their failure to move West Brom out of their defensive block. These crosses were of zero threat until the introduction of Fernando Llorente, which came far too late.
The visitors tried to create problems by moving Eriksen further forward between the lines and having Wanyama and/or one of the three central defenders bring the ball out and build the attack. This caused some problems; Spurs might have created more had they employed this idea more regularly.
Analysis: Tottenham
Tottenham set up in a 3-2-4-1, with Christian Eriksen in an unfamiliar deeper-lying role alongside Victor Wanyama in midfield. The formation could also be seen as a 3-4-2-1, depending on the height of wing-backs Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose.
This was a lacklustre performance from Spurs, however. They dominated possession but created very little with it. The deployment of three central defenders was somewhat intriguing, as West Brom had no intention of pressing their build. With three centre-backs, the defensively minded Wanyama and Eriksen playing deep, they had limited options between the West Brom lines and, with infrequent movement between the midfielders, caused minimal complications for the home side.
Instead, Mauricio Pochettino's men had to resort to crosses from deep and shots from distance in the first half. In the early stages, Harry Kane would drop deep with Eriksen and then look to make late runs towards the box. This caused some initial confusion, but the hosts remained disciplined and weren't pulled out of position.
The second-half introductions of Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura did very little to alter the approach or offer new solutions. It was only when Fernando Llorente came on for Jan Vertonghen that Spurs managed to threaten West Brom's box with an aerial presence – but the change came far too late and could arguably have been in place before the game had started. With one less central defender and two centre forwards, Spurs were able to occupy more West Brom defenders when building an attack and had a realistic target for the crosses from deep positions – which were still their only real means of attack.
Out of possession, Spurs struggled to contain Salomon Rondon and resorted to fouling him on several occasions. As West Brom tended to clear their lines rather than secure possession, there wasn't a need for any great pressing structure – the ball would invariably end up with Spurs' back line after each clearance anyway.
They were able to create more threatening attacks when they enticed West Brom out to press. The increased spaces they had to work with were suited to their creative midfielders, but the ball speed was too slow too often and the hosts found it too easy to recover back into their compact shape.
This was also the case in transition, as the Spurs players took too many touches and slowed the game down. This allowed West Brom to regain their structure and leave the disappointing visitors searching in vain for a way through.
Key points
Spurs lacked potency in attack. They moved the ball too slowly and didn't provide enough movement to entice West Brom players out of their structure when out of possession.
The visitors' decision to play with three at the back was a strange one, particularly with the defensively minded Victor Wanyama – who could have provided added security for a back two should Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier wished to attack from full-back – ahead of them in midfield. Fernando Llorente gave Spurs another attacking dimension, but his introduction came too late.
West Brom's compact block was exceptionally well organised and extremely difficult to break down. The only spaces they allowed Tottenham to play in would result in crosses into the box – exactly what centre-backs Craig Dawson and Ahmed Hegazi like to defend.
Salomon Rondon's ability to draw fouls was a key part of West Brom's approach in attack. Free-kicks could lead to balls into the box and corners – which, eventually, is where Jake Livermore's winning goal came from.

This day, Wednesday the 6th, is the day that our coup grew again. As I wrote a few weeks ago in this post, my family was trying to hatch chickens from eggs, something that we haven't done before. (link) We have always gotten chicks when they were few days old, never from scratch. Yesterday, we heard our first peep and as my EGGcited mother video tape them, and posted them online for everyone to see. (link) First times chicken mother are always so fun to watch them coo over their babies. We have two video cameras taping their first day, but I learned that only after I baby talked to them for a few minutes….oops.
It will still take a few moths for these lil guys to lay eggs for us to share the people, but once they will, you will hear about it on this blog and my twitter feed.

If you love playing video games and would need a job as a games tester, this article will guide you how to get started quickly. The video games business is slated to cost US$44 billion dollar in year 2011. Every month, there are new games performing on the tables and if you enjoy playing them, why don't you get payment for it?
Game developers are ready to pay good dollar in hiring beta testers because buyers, like you and me, do not like our gaming knowledge marred by problems and having to download patches too often. Thus already a video game can go into creation, it has to undergo many testing phases to find and resolution as many bugs as possible. It is typically means the make or break for the game as their marketing struggles will be compromised by results of buyer complaints.
Video game testing is a much competitive marketplace. Timing and getting your application to the right persons is one thing, being able to fulfill their conditions of a successful beta tester is additional. You should have focus for detail, able to document problems and bugs accurately, have the patience to play part of the game again and again, submitting your reports daily and on time.
If you really enjoy playing video games, it is always good to prove your understanding of the game by showing your abilities. For example, multi-player online games will typically have a leader board that ways your scores. You don't have to be the excellent, but enough to be believed as more than just a competent gamer.
Contributing in game developers' forums will give you the chance to interact with them. Usually, the developer will be seeing at feedback from these forums for problems or improvement ideas. If you are able to report some bugs and start a rapport with them, your chances of being called to beta test their games are greatly improved. There are also for beta programs which the open can apply for. Get yourself involved; be active in helping the developers and you will be happy if you are persistent enough.
The advantages of being a beta tester contains flexible work time, playing the game way before everybody else get a chance to, you have permission to cheat codes and level secrets, look into where the golden eggs are and, the best thing is, getting payment for playing it. Plus, you are achieving real world experience of attach with very creative people pushing technology to distract the masses. So put yourself in the top of the line by improving your gaming skills, contribute in game developer forums and sign up for open beta tests.

February is National Children's Dental Health Month and dentists are trying to spread the importance of oral health in kids as much as possible.
Dental professionals are seeing one and two-year olds who have dental decay and about 50% of kindergarteners have had a cavity.
If you're a parent, you know that the dentist ranks pretty high on the list of things that can scare a child. But, Lily, who is 6 years old, is not afraid of the dentist.
"We know a lot of adults have anxiety when they come to the dentist. Our goal - we wanted to make this place approachable for kids," said Dr Erica Pitera, of Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry.
"Everyone who works here is used to kids - so they're a little extra peppy," said Pitera.
Colorful fun signs, video games in the waiting room are part of the plan. In an effort to make children feel as comfortable as possible, they do a lot more than just paint the walls with bright colors. Everything is taken care of, including what flavor fluoride, what flavor toothpaste, even what flavor floss. They want the kids to be as fully involved as possible in the process when they come to the dentist.
"It gives them a little bit of control over the appointment, what kind of flavors - it's up to them," said Pitera.
It doesn't end with the fun flavors – it's a philosophy that gets the kids involved.
"Tell. Show. Do. How the toothbrush spins, and then when it's in her mouth it's less scary - because some of the tools we have are scary looking - if they know about it, if they feel it before it's in their mouth, they're less scared of it."
The approach helps drill into kids a better philosophy towards the dentist.
"If they have a trust in us at an early age, if they do have a cavity it's not going to be traumatic - it's just another visit."

Hello my blogger friends
I have managed to finish off 3 cards that I started yesterday as well as get lots of bits and bobs sorted too!
I have used a sheet that has been a favourite for a long time – this may well be the 6th or 7th card I have made with it – all different too!
The sheet is by Robyn Cockburn and was purchased from www.craftsuprint.com the sheet number is 75407_123
So materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat to work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
smooth black A4 card
Decoupage sheet
A4 piece of aqua bazill card
piece of purple mirri card
length of lilac organza ribbon
4 metallic purple card candy
5 clear AB gems
Sticky pads
Eazi Score Board & tool
Tonic 8" guillotine
Shaping tool from www.dimensionstamps.com
Foam shaping mat – stamping mat or even a mouse mat
To make the card …
I folded the smooth black card in half to make the card blank.
The aqua card was trimmed to fit the card front and attached with double sided tape.
Next I cut the base image out – on the sheet Robyn says you can stick this to a sheet of folded card and cut around it to make your shaped card but I had other ideas.
I laid the vase of flowers onto a piece of purple mirri card and marked the size, this was then cut out and I used a nicked corner punch to lightly shape the corners.
The mirri layer was stuck to the card again with double sided tape – I positioned it towards the top so I had room below for a sentiment of bow.
The vase of flowers base layer was attached to the mirri card with double sided tape then the decoupage elements added with small sticky pads...I lightly shaped the pansies as I was adding them.
A bow was tied using wide lilac organza ribbon and was stuck under the vase with tape.
To finish I added 2 metallic purple card candy to the bottom corners of the aqua card then clear AB gems to the corners of the mirri card and one in the centre of the bow around the vase.
And there we have a pretty vase of pansies card that would suit so many different occasions
It is another for the use or sell box
Catch you again tomorrow – same place folks
