text: This study reports the temporal characteristics of aerosols mass concentration (PM10, PM2.5, PM1), size distribution and optical depth from December 2011 to November 2013 over Patiala (30.33°N, 76.4°E, 249 a.s.l.), a site located in Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) in northwestern India, a region with the highest population density in the world. PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 varied from 71 to 221, 27 to 92, and 17 to 75 µg/m3, respectively, with the highest concentration of PM10 during summer of 2012, and PM2.5 and PM1 during autumn of 2013. These mass concentrations were significantly higher than National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards (PM10 = 60 and PM2.5 = 40 µg/m3), suggesting poor quality of air over IGP. Both natural and anthropogenic sources were found to be responsible for poor air quality of IGP with more contribution from the latter source as inferred from Ångström exponent (α380–870) and fine mode fraction (FMF: PM2.5/PM10) of aerosols, which have shown large temporal variability. The particle size distribution is skewed towards particles with size less than 1.00 µm and very few particles are having the size greater than 6.25 µm. Aerosol optical depth at 500 nm (AOD500) ranged from 0.36 to 0.64 and shows the highest value during summer of 2012 (0.64 ± 0.09) and autumn of 2013 (0.64 ± 0.25) and minimum (0.36 ± 0.05) in spring of 2013, further reflecting the different effects of aerosols on climate during different seasons. The relation between AOD500 and PM mass has also been investigated, which has exhibited significant seasonality and AOD500 is more sensitive towards the concentration of PM1 rather than PM2.5 and PM10. These results give insight to the relative contribution of natural as well as anthropogenic aerosol sources to their total atmospheric abundances and their possible effect on ambient air quality and Earth's radiation balance.

Dermal Fillers – Possible Long Term Side Effects
With the lagging economy some people looking to improve their appearances have opted to use dermal fillers instead of cosmetic surgery. [Read more…]
Choosing the Right Facial Filler
When the FDA first approved collagen for cosmetic use back in the early 80's, people considering the treatment were hopeful about taking years off their appearances, however, many were scared about allergic reactions, painful injections, and swelling.
Fortunately, today people have a much greater variety of safe and effective dermal fillers to choose from. Facial fillers can be injected into the deep depressions that run from your nose to each side of your mouth or the nasal labial folds. Filling in these areas that have lost volume, such as thinning lips and those deep furrows that develop between the eyebrows. When someone has any of these areas injected, it can take many years off a persons face. The results may be so good that it can even allow someone time to postpone having cosmetic surgery in the future.
In an outpatient setting, all of these fillers can be used effectively with almost immediate results. Unfortunately, there is a downside, since fillers are only temporary, lasting anywhere from a few months to a year, and some patients have experienced some bruising and swelling.
So the question is: "Which one should someone use?"
The majority of the new facial dermal fillers are made from Hyaluronic Acid, a natural occurring substance found in the human body.
Here is a list of five dermal fillers that are available from qualified practitioners:
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid based filler regarded as "the world's best selling dermal filler." It is used for correcting moderate facial wrinkles and folds.
Perlane – very similar to Restylane, it is designed primarily for treating deeper and more severe wrinkles and folds.
Radiesse – this thick compound is made with (natural, biocompatible) calcium based microspheres in water based gel.
Juvederm – Like Perlane, this popular filler is designed for treating deeper wrinkles and restoring volume to the face. It's been referred as the "liquid facelift" treatment.
Evolence – one of the newest and best fillers on the market, Evolence is made with porcine collagen which has been purified. It helps create plumper cheeks and lips, and has a reputation for quick results and minimal bruising.
To learn more about facial dermal fillers please contact Dr. Sorosky and Dr. Park today.
Cosmetic Fillers and Injectables in Upland, CA
In a previous article, we discussed the increasing popularity of injections used to fill in various lines and wrinkles on the face. To review, the most common areas we inject filler materials is in the nasolabial folds, the marionette lines (around the mouth), and in the tear trough (groove below the bags under our eyes). The common substances we use are: Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse (please see our previous article for a review of the difference between these products).
Examples of using the injectable filler called Juvederm to fill sagging skin under the eyes. Click on image or thumbnail to advance to the next frame.
With the ever-increasing use of these products, the Dr. Robert H. Sorosky and Dr. Edward H. Park have been expanding the use of injections to various other parts of the body. Fillers are now used in other areas of the face such as in the prejowl area wrinkles around the chin. Dr. Sorosky and Dr. Park have also been using the filler products to restore volume in the cheek to provide a cheek augmentation.
More recently, Dr. Sorosky and Dr. Park have found the use of Restylane or Radiesse in the Inland Empire to be applicable for rhinoplasty patients. Patients who are seeking subtle changes in their nose may be a candidate for non-surgical rhinoplasty. For those patients seeking subtle refinements to slight tip asymmetries or to a slight curvature to the bridge of the nose, Restylane or Radiesse is a superb option for to avoid surgical rhinoplasty. Results are attainable within minutes and recovery is not more than a couple days. The procedure is temporary lasting 6 to 12 months or even longer.
Finally, Dr. Sorosky and Dr. Park are now using Radiesse for hand rejuvenation. People who have noticed aging in their hands now have an option to rejuvenate the appearance of their hands. The back of our hands may lose volume over time creating areas of shallowness between the fingers. These areas can now be filled with Radiesse, and can even be combined with a light chemical peel to tighten the skin and remove discolorations on the back of the hand.
Feel free to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sorosky or Dr. Park to learn more details about the use of Restylane, Radiesse, and Juvederm.

h2>Europe Trend Week 46
The supply to the European markets is slightly more moderate this week. On the one hand, volumes from Colombia and Costa Rica are beginning their seasonal fall. However, incoming Ecuadorian shipments still remain high because of shipments being focused on Europe. On the other hand, the French West Indies supply has had a one-off low week (24% below average). In addition, the African supply is back into shortfall; so the combined Africa/FWI supply remains 9 % below average.
In parallel, demand in Western Europe remains quiet, though the many promotions are finally helping ease the stocks in certain countries. On the East European markets, demand has continued to pick up considerably.
Hence prices have strengthened slightly in certain countries, albeit maintaining below-average levels (-15%), especially in Eastern Europe where they are still remarkably low.
In Russia, the improvement is continuing, because of more dynamic demand in the run-up to the Orthodox holidays.

Nokia: Analysts Get Grouchier After Outlook is Slashed
For Nokia, it just keeps getting darker.
The company "substantially" reduced its Q2 revenue outlook earlier today. The company is getting crushed by cheap Google Android-driven phones in key, lower-end markets such as China and skepticism is rising about how much its partnership with Microsoft will help drive better sales.
Nokia also yanked its full year forecast, which hardly settled anyone's nerves.
Nokia's shares are down 14% at just above $7, which would mark a 52-week closing low. The Finnish handset company is down 32% year-to-date. Yowch!
So, what are the scribblers saying? Most are negative already, but we'll start with something rare: a Nokia Backer. Note how little "defending" occurs in that particular report.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Buy, Price Target: $17
While today's release is a negative for near-term earnings, we don't think the longer-term picture has changed. We expected Nokia to experience disruptions given its strategy change, and competitors seem to be taking advantage of Nokia's migration. The root issue remains Nokia's weak handset portfolio and the challenge is to establish Windows Phone as a viable third eco-system which can stop the share loss in the high end and eventually filter down to improve competitiveness at the lower-end. Nokia said that its plans for Windows Phone remain unchanged, and it has "increased confidence" that it will ship Windows phones in Q4 on the recently announced Mango release.
J.P. Morgan, Underweight
Consistent with our negative thesis, Nokia significantly reduced Q2 guidance & pulled full year forecasts. On a brief conference call Nokia specifically flagged issues in both Europe & China with lack of competitive smartphone product the main issue. We believe this warning highlights risk accompanying investment in Nokia. We see this risk continuing to be very high as the discontinuation of Symbian poses a risk to smartphone share in the absence of already shipping Windows phones. Reiterate Underweight.
Goldman Sachs, Pan-Europe Buy List, Neutral
"…in broad terms it is likely that the speed of cannibalization of Nokia's feature phone business is accelerating, leaving a larger than expected 'air pocket' in Nokia's earnings power ahead of the arrival of new Windows-based smartphones. Nokia also called out competitive pressures in China and Europe, along with a mix shift to lower average selling prices and gross margin products. At a high level, breakeven earnings before interest and taxes in handsets implies a revenue miss of about 1.5 billion euros vs. the prior guidance or a downgrade of about 20% vs. initial guidance just a month ago, underscoring the loss of visibility Nokia is experiencing.
Evercore, Underweight, Price Target $6
NOK's feature phone and Symbian smartphone (80% of revs) challenges are accelerating, creating downward pressure on earnings at least until new Windows-based smartphones may help sequential results (possibly 2Q FY12). As 3Q FY11 EPS moves to a loss (by our forecast), NOK's 6% dividend ($0.41) is likely at risk. Net cash of $2.50 and [a comparison to Motorola's [valuation] (implies $3.50-4.50 for NOK) during its feature phone to smartphone transition provide a bear case floor.
Gleacher & Co., Neutral, Price Target $6.50
Valuation floor? We do not see a clear valuation floor with Nokia's feature phone business under attack, the Symbian business (about 50% of handset sales) now becoming legacy and Windows Phone still under 2% industry smartphone share (vs. Symbian at about 20% share). Competitors RIMM and MMI trade at around 6x and 7x CY12 EPS excluding cash, which would put NOK at about $5.50/share based on 6.5x our CY12E EPS plus about $2.40/share cash, though NOK has typically traded at a premium. Our $6.50 target is based on 8.5x CY12 EPS plus cash. Maintain Neutral. Lukewarm carrier support for Nokia's transition plan threatens its traditional scale and distribution advantages. With the low-margin feature phone business under pressure and minimal visibility on Symbian sales and WP consumer adoption, we see little reason to own shares.

Training For Reigning
Contributed by Doug Morrell on Dec 5, 2005 (message contributor)
Summary: We are never to feign happiness in pain, but if we are growing in Christ-likeness, we should be demonstrating a more eternal, positive perspective (considering it pure joy), because we are realizing that we are training for reigning.
Depth of character is realized under pressure. Anyone can be a Christian when things go well, but how do you do when a little pressure, a little pain, a little discomfort, criticism or gossip, a sick child, loss of income, are applied? When your fruit is squeezed, what kind of juice comes forth? We must remember that it is God's will, "that you should be sanctified" (1 Thessalonians 4:3; Romans 8:29), to make you whole, mature and complete, not to make you happy, but to conform you into the image of Christ Jesus – the true blessing. We should see our struggles as opportunities for growth. God will not leave you alone with your problems; He is as close as you will allow and will help you grow.
James, Jesus' brother, wrote, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything" (James 1:2-4). James does not say IF we face trials, but WHENEVER. We are either in a storm, just coming out of one, or there are storm clouds brewing on the horizon. Storms are a normal part of the journey.
We are never to feign happiness in pain, but if we are growing in Christ-likeness, we should be demonstrating a more eternal, positive perspective (considering it pure joy), because we are realizing that we are training for reigning. Instead of focusing on the problem, we should focus on what we should be learning (Romans 2:7; 5:3-5; 8:24,25; 2 Corinthians 6:3-7; 2 Peter 1:2-9).
In an interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren said:
People ask me, "What is the purpose of life?" And I respond, "In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity." We were made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven. One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body - but not the end of me. I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillion of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act, the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity. We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ-likeness.
This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer. I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you got to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore. Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life. No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.
And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for. You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems. If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is "my" problem, "my" issues, "my" pain.
But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her. It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people...You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.
Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy. It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before.

a few weeks ago we took caleb for his first (gasp! yes he's almost 5) dentist visit. aside from not being able to close his mouth over the plastic x-ray thingers without gagging, the visit went fantastically well. he wasn't scared and said that the dentist cleaning his teeth tickled.
no cavities. phew.
side note: have your kids had to get x-rays? i didn't know that they would do that, i just thought he would get the initial cleaning & exam but the dentist swore that he did this for all the kids...and said that he couldn't really tell if caleb had cavities or not because he didn't get the x-rays.
so he said we had to go back in 6 months and try for the x-rays again. (is it just my cynical attitude thinking that he wants to get more moolah out of us?)
i don't know where he got this from, but every time caleb brushes his teeth he looks in the mirror and says,
"how are my pearls, mom? do you like my pearls?"

Senator John McCain to Be Honored Posthumously as a 2019 "Father of the Year"
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2019--The National Father's Day Council announced today that Senator John McCain has been posthumously named a 2019 "Father of the Year" Honoree. Senator McCain's award will be presented at the 78th Annual Father of the Year Awards at the New York Hilton Midtown Hotel on Thursday, June 13, 2019, at 12:00 p.m. Tom Kingsbury, President, CEO and Chairman of Burlington Stores, Inc., will also be honored as a 2019 "Father of the Year."

The son and grandson of Navy Admirals, Senator McCain served as a naval aviator for 22 years following his 1958 graduation from the Naval Academy. While on his 23 rd mission over North Vietnam, Senator McCain's plane was struck by a missile, forcing him to eject, which resulted in the breaking of both of his arms and a leg. Senator McCain then spent years as a prisoner of war in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton," where he was subjected to torture and denied necessary medical treatment.
Following his release, Senator McCain regained his naval flight status and served as a naval liaison to the United States Senate. He retired from the Navy in 1981 with naval honors including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona in 1982 and the U.S. Senate in 1986. Senator McCain was also the Republican Party's nominee for president in the 2008 election with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. During his time as senator, McCain served as Chairman of the Senate Committees on Indian Affairs; Commerce, Science and Transportation; and Armed Services.
Senator McCain died of brain cancer in August 2018. He is survived by his wife, Cindy, seven children, and five grandchildren.
"Senator John McCain led a life of dignified service, from his time as a Navy pilot to his long and principled career in the U.S. Senate, where he was known for his honesty and forthrightness," said Dan Orwig, President and CEO of the Father's Day / Mother's Day Council. "We are humbled to honor Senator McCain, a true American hero, who displayed an unwavering commitment to both his family and our country."

Tom Brady threatened with divorce by Gisele, per US Weekly
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's marriage has hit a "rough patch" since the New England quarterback was given a four-game suspension for Deflategate, according to US Weekly.
The pair, who has been married for six years, have had intense fights in recent months:
"Tom's become very nasty and irritable and started acting out on her," says the source of the pair, who didn't celebrate their summer birthdays together.
Their spats have become so heated that Bundchen recently consulted with a divorce lawyer, says a Brady insider. "Tom thinks it's only a threat," says the insider. "But this is definitely a rough patch."
Brady, 38, and Bundchen, 35, have two kids and, according to US Weekly's source, have been trying to patch things up.
Brady and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell are waiting for a judge's ruling in the Deflategate case.

When you visit us, you'll enjoy a bespoke service. We'll only use high quality dental tray laboratories to create our whitening trays, making sure you receive a tray specially fitted to your teeth.

In 1916 my Uncle Fritz was born in a sod house on the White River, just north of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. His mother died when he was twelve, and he ran off and lived on his own, doing men's work, like teamstering and bucking hay.
In 1941 he was a sergeant in the Army, and when the 82nd Airborne Division was formed he volunteered. In World War II the Airborne's mission was to jump behind enemy lines, and wreak havoc. They were all on their own, until the regular infantry could fight its way through enemy lines to relieve them. He fought all the way from North Africa to Berlin, at the tip of the spear.
My parents were divorced when I was a baby, and my father had no role in my life. He seemed uninterested in me, and we had no relationship. My mother never remarried, and I grew up with her, my sister, my grandmother and my aunt. I really never had a male role model.
I met Uncle Fritz in Alaska in 1969, when I was 23. I was having a hard time of it, and he and Aunt Helen Mary took me under their wing. That summer of 1969, in Anchorage, Alaska, was a turning point in my life. I knew what I wanted now. I wanted to live in Alaska.
I never served in the military, so I missed the Vietnam War. I'd smashed up my ankle when I was at Cal, and I was 4-F. I didn't dodge the draft. When I was freshman at Cal in 1962 I joined the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps. When I was a junior I was going to take the Marine option and graduate as a 2nd Lieutenant in the USMC, in 1966.
That didn't happen, and I felt a little guilty for not serving. I told Uncle Fritz about it, and he said not to worry about it. "Vietnam was not a good war", he said. That made me feel a little less guilty.
I spent a lot of time with Uncle Fritz that summer. He was, among other things, a sort of godfather to the local Hell's Angels. He was hiring them to go out in the bush and stake mining claims. Then he'd sell the claims to people who wanted a legal basis for putting up a cabin in the Alaska wilderness. He was making pretty good money at it.
He told me a lot of stories about the war. Before a jump. like D Day, they were meticulous about their equipment. Every strap tightened just right. At Normandy Fritz had 20 pounds of explosives strapped to each leg, to be used in blowing up bridges. He was about 230 pounds, with a 53 inch chest.
Everything was screwed up when they landed, the entire unit scattered across the countryside. He hooked up with three other troopers, and they spent the next few days wreaking havoc.
The war was the great experience of his life. Nothing could ever compare to it. We can only imagine what it all was like.
75 years after Fritz jumped, my second grandson is set for birth. Cruz Oakley Pettyjohn, June 6, 2019. Maybe he'll be like his great Uncle Fritz, of the 82nd Airborne, who was a father to me.

Update 14/11/2017. This aquarium is now over 2 &
1/4 years old. Originally set-up with with a nutrient rich substrate
(below the gravel layer). This was supposed to be sufficient to last 12
to 18 months, it has exceeded our expectations by a good margin, and
still going strong. A daily addition of liquid CO2 and fertilizer (cost
less than 10p) ensures the aquarium thrives. As with all aquariums, we
add a plant 'here', we take away a plant 'there' etc. We prune back
'here' we split others to spread 'there'. The aquarium evolves and

Someone sent me the following pic, it's uplifting and inspiring and I like it a lot!
I hope you do too!
I had a lovely new year with family, then took a moment of madness and drove to Dumbarton to the hospital where my daughter was working a night shift as a nurse in the stroke, heart attack and dementia ward.
I called her outside and she came down to collect the box of fancy biscuits I'd brought as a first foot gift for her and her colleagues
She was suitably embarrassed but tickled that I had made the effort. All her colleagues were smiling and the banter was good.
Embarrassing my daughter .. That's one resolution done already!! 🙂
Happy New Year to you, I hope you had a good one whoever and wherever you are and all my best for 2015. X

Interaction Programme on Harmonization of Non-Tariff Barriers in South Asia
As part of a regional project "Cost of Economic Non-Cooperation to Consumers in South Asia, Phase II (COENCOSA-II)", South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE), in collaboration with the Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), organized an interaction programme titled "Removal/Harmonization of Non-Tariff Barriers in South Asia" on 29 April 2013 in Kathmandu.
Making the key presentation, Mr Purushottam Ojha, former Commerce Secretary of the Government of Nepal, said that most of the NTBs in South Asia are related to technical standards. Therefore, he stressed on harmonizing standards among member countries of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC); strengthening regional bodies like the South Asian Regional Standards Organisation (SARSO); developing and strengthening national laboratories; enhancing capacity and skills of human resources; among others. Dr Posh Raj Pandey, Executive Chairman, SAWTEE, and also Chair of the session, said that though tariff rates in South Asia have come down as a result of liberalization, intra-regional trade has not expanded as expected because of the prevalence of the non-transparent, discretionary and unpredictable nature of NTBs. Therefore, it is necessary to address the problems associated with NTBs to enhance intra-regional trade in South Asia.
Mr Pradeep Kumar Shrestha, Vice Chairperson, SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry, was also of the same opinion as he stated that intra-regional trade in South Asia has not risen as per the potential mainly due to the imposition of NTBs by SAARC countries. Mr Jib Raj Koirala, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Commerce and Supplies, said that the private sector should work closely with the government in identifying and resolving issues related to NTBs. Mr Shanker Prasad Pandeya, Executive Member of FNCCI and Chairperson of Trade Committee, highlighted the additional cost of doing business being created due to the prevalence of NTBs as a result of which consumers are paying high prices. Likewise, Mr Ramesh Chandra Poudel, Vice Chairperson, Forum for Protection of Consumer Rights, raised the issue of additional costs that consumers are bearing due to NTBs.
Over 90 participants, representing the private sector, academia, government officials and the media participated in the programme.

Delaware Lenape chief: Elizabeth Warren exploring her Native American roots isn't all bad
Jessica Bies, Delaware News Journal Published 3:41 p.m. ET Oct. 18, 2018 | Updated 4:04 p.m. ET Oct. 18, 2018
https://www.delawareonline.com/story/ne … 682264002/
Responding to years of derision by President Donald Trump, Sen. Elizabeth Warren released a report on a DNA analysis that provides strong evidence she does have Native American heritage. She also released a campaign-style video about the DNA test.
While some tribal leaders have condemned Sen. Elizabeth Warren for publicizing DNA results confirming her Native American heritage, the principal chief of Delaware's Lenape Indian Tribe said paying tribute to your ancestors isn't a bad thing.
"Someone who is proud of having that native ancestor — no matter what percentage or what degree it is — in my view, is a person I honor," Chief Dennis Coker said, describing some of his own tribe members' reluctance to do the same because they've traditionally been discriminated against.
"I do honor those that shed the idea that it's something to not be proud of," Coker said. "I honor people who are seeking their roots."
Coker's views put him at odds with the Cherokee Nation, who this week slammed Warren's DNA test as "inappropriate and wrong." Coker wasn't surprised by their stance, he said.
They've questioned the legitimacy of the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware, too, which is recognized by the state but not the federal government.
"The Cherokee view themselves as the Indian identity police," Coker said. "They're the first ones to call out anybody that they don't think is legitimate, whether they're legitimate or not.
"Unfortunately for Elizabeth Warren, she claimed a Cherokee connection, and she ruffled some feathers out there."
Why did Warren take the test?
Warren has long claimed Native American ancestry, citing family stories as proof and listing herself as Native American in law school directories.
The test sought to clarify the issue and rebut President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly referred to Warren as "Pocahontas."
The Massachusetts Democrat and potential 2020 presidential contender challenged Trump to make good on his pledge to donate $1 million to charity if she provided proof of Native American heritage, a moment that was caught on video.
Trump falsely denied ever making the offer and later said he would donate the money only if he can personally administer the genetic test.
What exactly did the test results say?
Sen. Elizabeth Warren's past claims of Native American heritage have caused her headaches and ridicule.
The results provide some evidence that a Native American is in Warren's bloodline, though the ancestor probably lived six to 10 generations ago, according to the analysis.
An ancestor six generations removed would make Warren 1/64th Native American while an ancestor as much as 10 generations removed would render the Massachusetts Democrat only 1/1,024th Native American, according to Blaine Bettinger, a genealogist and author who specializes in DNA evidence.
What qualifies as Native American?
The nation's 573 federally recognized tribes do not have a single standard for determining membership. Tribes such as the Cherokee Nation use lineal descent, meaning a person is Cherokee if an ancestor is listed on an original tribal roll regardless of their amount of Indian blood. Descendants of enslaved black people the Cherokee once owned are also members of the tribe.
Citizenship in the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware requires at least one-quarter of an individual's bloodline to be 100 percent Cheswold-area Lenape, Coker said.
What do Native Americans say?
In the largest study of its kind conducted so far, researchers at 23andMe and Harvard University published the results of a genetic analysis of ancestry among the American people. (Photo: Francois Duckett, AP)
Warren was born in Oklahoma, which is home to 39 tribes and where more than 7 percent of the population identifies as Native American, one of the highest proportions in the nation.
Some of the Lenape or Delaware Indian Tribe resettled there when they were pushed out of the Delaware River Basin by Europeans, though Coker's tribe remained on their ancestral lands in Cheswold.
Warren's not a member of any tribe, and many Native Americans take exception to anyone who claims to be part Indian without being enrolled in a tribe, especially for political purposes.
Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. said DNA tests are useless to determine tribal citizenship and don't distinguish whether a person's ancestors were indigenous to North or South America.
"Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong," he said Monday. "Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage."
Opinion on Warren was not monolithic, however.
The chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians issued a statement Tuesday saying that the senator had not tried to "appropriate" Indian culture.
The tribe described her as an "ally" who had sponsored legislation to prevent Indian suicides, to identify missing and murdered Native American women and to help tribes reacquire lost lands.
Coker thinks celebrating genetic diversity is good and that some of the controversy over Warren may be overblown.
"I've never heard Elizabeth Warren say she is an enrolled member of any tribe," Coker said. "I've never heard Elizabeth Warren say she intended to apply for enrollment in any tribe."
"I run into people every day that say, 'I have a grandmother who was Indian,'" Coker said. "And nine times out of 10 that grandmother that was Indian was a Cherokee princess. So it's not unusual, and I don't think it will ever be unusual for people to acknowledge that they may have some kind of connection to some tribe somewhere."
"In this age of ancestry.com, people are discovering that they do have these connections, and they may be very minute like apparently, Elizabeth Warren's blood quantum is. I don't have a problem with that."
Coker wasn't unilaterally in favor of Warren despite that. If the senator got academic scholarships for being Native American as rumored, he would disapprove. That money should be reserved for people with an official tribal affiliation, he said.
"If she did apply for that money, I do fault her for that, because she certainly should know better," Coker said. "But I don't know that's a fact."

Astoria Mayor Arline LaMear, who has guided the city with an understated confidence since her election in 2014, will not seek another term in November.
The mayor cited personal reasons for choosing not to run again.
"I really enjoy knowing how the city works and figuring out ways to make it work better," LaMear said of her role. "I love it."
Her four-year term ends in December, as do the City Council terms of Zetty Nemlowill and Cindy Price. The trio formed the city's first council with a majority of women.
While Nemlowill said she is not yet sure if she will seek re-election, Price is positive she will run again and is contemplating a bid for mayor.
"I certainly plan to be on the ballot in November," Price said. "Whether that's as city councilor or mayor I don't know yet."
LaMear and the two councilors still have an entire year ahead of them regardless, and there remains plenty to keep them busy — from the city budget and vacation rentals to homelessness and affordable housing.
Renewal of the Astoria Library was one of LaMear's priorities and under her watch the council settled on a compromise to renovate the existing 50-year-old building instead of breaking ground on a new library. Plans are also moving forward to turn the historic Waldorf Hotel next door — neglected and empty for years — into affordable housing. On Tuesday, LaMear and Interim Police Chief Geoff Spalding led the second meeting of a new task force intended to address issues surrounding homelessness.
A former librarian, LaMear was elected to the City Council in 2008. When Willis Van Dusen announced his retirement after 24 years as mayor, LaMear felt the council needed someone familiar with the city. She defeated Larry Taylor to win the job, the second woman — after Edith Henningsgaard — to lead the city.
"We will have a new city manager, a new council person, a new finance director," she told The Daily Astorian at the time. "And I think we need someone to be there who can provide continuity. I can provide continuity."
LaMear had also served five years on the Planning Commission. She had served on the Astoria Library Board and the Clatsop County Commission on Children and Families and volunteered as a court-appointed special advocate. She has been the president of the Astoria chapters of the American Association of University Women and the Women's Political Caucus.
The city hasn't had many inquiries from other potential candidates for mayor and council yet. City Manager Brett Estes said he has fielded a few questions. It is still early to start contemplating a November election, said Finance Director Susan Brooks, who also serves as the city's elections official. Filing opens on May 30 and closes Aug. 28.
"People usually file early," Brooks said.
In 2014, Price ran unopposed for the Ward 3 seat, representing the bulk of downtown, while Nemlowill defeated challenger George McCartin for the Ward 1 seat. Ward 1 covers the northwestern swath of Astoria.
Price, a writer, researcher, editor and radio broadcaster, has lived in Astoria since 1996. She is married to District Attorney Josh Marquis, who recently announced he will not be running for re-election.
Nemlowill, who grew up in Astoria, is the marketing director at Astoria Co-op Grocery. She previously served nine years on the Planning Commission, three of those years as president. She is married to Chris Nemlowill, co-owner of Fort George Brewery.
The City Council includes Bruce Jones and Tom Brownson. Both men were elected in 2016 and their terms run through the end of 2020.

Light Yards
Light Yards is the newest installation at Yards Park. Created by Lucion Media of Montreal, the work consists of four huge globes that at first seem fairly ordinary, until you see the shadow technology and figure out the ways to project selfies or write with your phone flashlight. The installation runs through December 31, from 6-10 each night.
Georgetown Glow
Georgetown Glow is back for its fourth year, with light installations throughout historic Georgetown. Here's the information on it – it runs through January 7th, so there is plenty of time to enjoy it. Some of the highlights: Horizontal Interference, by Joachim Slugocki and Katarzyna Malejka Aqueous, by Jen Lewin Light Cloud, by Ted Bazydlo and Brandon Newcomer My Light is Your Light, by Alaa Minawi Bands of Friendship, by Vikas Patil and Santosh Gujar Open Lounge, by Geraud Periole And as a bonus, look across from the Georgetown waterfront to see the Kennedy Center in rainbow colors.
New Mural in SW
There's a great new mural going up in SW. Wrapping around three sides of a small store, it's a color riot of geometric shapes with flowers, butterflies, faces, and birds. The mural is by Eric Ricks, and is part of the MuralsDC program, sponsored by the Department of Public Works and the Commission on the Arts and Humanities. If you go this week, you can still see it in process. It's at 1399 Half St. SW (that's not the Half Street by Nats stadium, it's a couple of blocks away on the other side of South Capitol. Who knew there were two Half Streets in D.C.?)
Agora Dance: 3 Minutes Max
Along with more traditional performances in more conventional spaces, Agora Dance is known to break from tradition in both its choreography and its selection of performance spaces—like an alley.

Care and Loyalty
A trustee must use reasonable care and oversight when administering a trust. He must always apply his skills in furtherance of the trust's best interests. For example, if the trustee is a tax attorney, she must apply her legal skills in a way that reaps maximum tax benefits for the trust. A trustee may also retain other experts to fulfill a trust's purpose. For example, if a family trust's purpose is to care for a home-bound, special needs child, it would be proper for its trustee to hire licensed home-care nurses to tend to the child.
Prudent Investment Duty
A trustee must prudently invest and manage a family trust's assets. The duty to prudently invest, sometimes called the prudent man rule, specifically targets managing trust investments. Trustees must generally make sound investments to further the preservation, protection and safe growth of trust assets. Trustees must consider criteria such as inflation, tax ramifications, need for liquidity and income, and capital return. The rule does not make a trustee a guarantor of investment outcomes, but it does require a trustee to act carefully when handling trust finances.
Duty of Loyalty
Loyalty is the most fundamental responsibility of a trustee. A trustee administering a family trust must constantly act in the best interests of the beneficiaries and trust. A trustee must deal fairly and honestly when performing trust tasks. She must maintain reasonable communication with the beneficiaries and administer the trust in an open manner. A trustee should avoid business dealings that would create conflicts of interest between herself and the family trust.
Consequences for Breaches
Trustees who breach their fiduciary duties face several penalties. A trustee may be ordered to amend his behavior or be suspended or replaced. A trustee may be denied payment for services rendered and, if a breach of duty causes damages, ordered to personally pay to make the trust whole again. Trust penalties are generally civil in nature, meaning a probate judge not a criminal court handles grievances.

Do you believe God still performs miracles today?
Let me ask you this: If miracles could happen, what "miracle" do you need in your life today?
Often times, we are faced with circumstances in life that seem "impossible" to overcome, when looked at through a human lens. A terminal diagnosis. A broken marriage. A daughter or son who has fallen far from the woman or man that you raised them to be.
Maybe you've experienced a devastating and untimely loss of a steady, good-paying job.
Financial struggles. The loss of a dear loved one. We've all experienced "hell on earth" in one way, shape or form. And maybe you're going through a similar experience right now.
I've been there. But know this:
God is bigger than your struggles. And when you relinquish control, he can take the seemingly impossible, and make it possible. I've witnessed it firsthand. I've seen situations with "no hope" turn around, virtually overnight at times.
You see, God still performs miracles today. It may not be parting the red sea or turning water into wine, but whatever your need is, God can meet it, no matter how impossible it seems.
How does that happen?
First, you have to surrender. My friend, Joel, has a tattoo on my forearm that reads "Freedom in Surrender". It's a continual reminder for him to surrender control over the things that he has no control over anyway. And man, do I need to be constantly reminded. It's a lesson I learn over and over again (fortunately, I learn it much more quickly these days).
Second, believe. There's a saying that says "Let go, and let God." There is tremendous freedom and peace knowing that God is in control, and that he has your back. And he does.
Whatever your situation, it's not too big, too hard, too complicated, too hurtful, or too far gone for a miracle to occur. And sometimes, a miracle is the only thing that could ever fix such a dire situation…maybe just like the one you are experiencing right now.
I encourage you, give your struggles to your creator today, and allow him to control the chess board of your life. He's never lost a match, as long as we allow him to move the pieces.

You've probably heard of making a story or character "bible": a document (or folder) that contains all your information about your story, from character appearances and ages to backstory details.
(Tip: If you don't have a story "bible", it's a good idea to make one as soon as possible after starting a book. I'm still figuring out the best way to make one for me, so I have a few different types on my computer, just for Aleyi: a "bible" Scrivener project, a Numbers spreadsheet, and a Tiddly Wiki file. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses, so I'll probably continue using all three for different aspects of the story.)
But that's a side topic, right now. Most writers know about making story bibles, though I suspect few of us actually make strong ones.
What about making style sheets? (And I don't mean cascading ones. House style sheets ≠ CSS.)
A publisher's "house style" ensures consistency across its titles. If you self-publish—or if you want to get your story as clean as it can be for submission—you want to have your own personal "house style" set so your stories can be internally consistent, in grammar and formatting.
The style sheet (AKA "style guide") addresses such details as…
- Which grammar and spelling styles you use (US? UK? Australian? Canadian?)
- Which grammar handbook do you use? (US default: Chicago Manual of Style, except in specific fields)
- On what points do you disagree with your handbook, if any? (Create a "writer's punctuation style" list for what disagrees.)
- Which dictionary do you use? (Common US default: Merriam-Webster, though American Heritage is also popular.)
- On what points do you disagree with your dictionary, if any? (Compound nouns in particular differ among sources—create a "preferred spellings" list for what disagrees.)
- Who are your cast? (List them, with brief explanations when necessary; for example, only one person in Destiny's Kiss calls her "Kiss"; others call her "Des" or "Kissy".)
- What special words are in your text, and what do they mean? (For example, in my Aleyi stories, elfin is an adjective that specifically refers to people.)
- What foreign words are in your story, what is their language of origin, and what do they mean?
- What naming conventions are to be followed, if any, and for whom?
- Is there anything else stylistic or grammatical that should be caught in line editing, copyediting, or proofreading?
Some helpful things to include:
- What do you use to indicate scene breaks? (What character, if any, with how many returns?)
- What's your formatting at the beginning of each chapter? (What font, what font size, and how much white space above it?)
- What's your body text font and font size?
- Do you have any other formatting details in the story, and if so, what are they?
That list of things to include looks monstrous, doesn't it? but formatting this sheet actually isn't all that hard. You can do it one of two main ways:
- In lists
- In tables
The main difference is, do you prefer working in a word processor or in a spreadsheet? Personally, I'll use either one. I prefer making them with Numbers, but those don't convert well. If it's a document I'll be sending to others more often than I'll be using it myself, I'll write it up in RTF format.
The trick to formatting a style sheet is to use lots of lists and lots of white space.
So if you make a stylesheet in a word processor, use a lot of bulleted lists, with a bold header indicating what the list is of.
Let me give a peek at two examples (for my own stories, so no client confidences broken):
Text Style Sheet Snapshot:
Table Style Sheet
They're both pretty readable, huh? The spreadsheet version makes it easier to reorganize within individual lists, while it's often easier to rearrange the lists themselves (their order and placement) on the word processing version.
However, though you want things to be simple, you also need to be clear about what your style sheet refers to, so you must begin it properly. Here's a peek at what the start for my Chronicles of Marsdenfel stylesheet looks like:
Notice that the beginning clearly says what world it refers to, what language the story's written in, with the default grammar handbook and dictionary—and notice on that top right. Language morphs over time, so the era of your story can make a difference.
For example, I have plans for stories set during the Crystal Wars. There's one I've worked on a little—because some of those characters in it appear in A Fistful of Earth—but I already know that felves were called something else, then, as were faeries. Jargon differed. (It gets a bit awkward when those centuries-old people talk in A Fistful of Earth, because they're the only ones who understand some of the things they say.)
You don't have to make a style sheet, of course, but I recommend it. It'll make editing and proofreading a lot easier, whether you do it yourself or hire someone.
Do you make style sheets for your work? Do you plan to? Which method do or will you use, word processing or spreadsheet?

Dbvisit Replicate and Sequences
I am going to use Dbvisit Replicate. What do I need to know about sequences? Are they replicated?
This is a frequently asked question and deserves a full answer. In our example we will assume this is an Oracle database replicating to an Oracle database.
A sequence is basically a number generator in Oracle. When the sequence populates a column in Oracle the actual value is inserted into the row in the table. That value also makes it to the Oracle redo logs.
The MINE process will grab the value from the redo log. Notice how the MINE process doesn't even know (or care) that the value came from a sequence. It grabs the data and then puts the data into the PLOG. The APPLY process will read the PLOG and place the data into the target database.
The exception to this rule is if you are running bidirectional replication. There you will want to make sure that sequences are different on each side.
See http://support.dbvisit.com/hc/en-us/articles/216515107-General-bi-directional-2-way-replication-considerations for more details.
