Cotton Gyari Weave Duffel Bag
Ganesh Himal $29.00
Ganesh Himal $29.00
Best carry on bag! Cute and sturdy striped, hand-loomed Gyari weave duffel bag. Great for a diaper bag, the gym or travel. One large pocket on the front of the bag that zips closed. Open pockets on either end for additional organization. The handles on this bag wrap all around the bag so the handles won't rip out, even with a heavy load. The top of the bag zips closed.
- Mid-sized 17″ X 18″ X 8.5″
- Assorted colors with simple cotton lining and additional interior zip pocket
- Handmade and Fair Trade from Nepal
SKU: 61321Since 1984, Ganesh Himal has worked with Pema-la and Namgyal as families, friends and business associates to develop businesses that work to benefit all involved. As their business grew, Pema-la needed to bring other tailors and knitters in to help fill orders. She worked side by side with people who had never been given adequate economic opportunity, to help create meaningful and profitable work. One example -of many- being Durba Pariyar, who was no longer able to support his family through his small sewing shop. Pema-la asked him to become her master tailor and taught him cutting and patterning. When he wanted to provide work to young men in his village she brought those young men to Kathmandu and taught them to sew. When they had all worked together as a good team she set up a profit sharing plan so that as the business grew they would all benefit. This profit sharing plan gave them all a voice in the decision making process and a percentage of the profits. It was the first example of its kind in the Kathmandu Valley. When the Maoists came into Kathmandu during the early 2000's demanding that workshops be closed because owners were not present, Pema-la's group told them they couldn't close their workshop because they were all owners. Their workshop was one of the few that was allowed to remain open in the Kathmandu Valley.

UML specification defines two major kinds of UML diagram: structure diagrams and behavior diagrams.
Structure diagrams show the static structure of the system and its parts on different abstraction and implementation levels and how they are related to each other. The elements in a structure diagram represent the meaningful concepts of a system, and may include abstract, real world and implementation concepts.
In UML you design diagrams that can contain different elements of the software, for example, the most common is the one where you write the name of the class, its attributes and its methods. But it all depends of the diagram you use. In UML there are many different diagrams with different uses and elements that you can write.
Is not necessary to become an expert of UML because is not actually a must for learning actual coding, but is important to know about it because it helps in the design part of software. Creating an UML diagram is like drawing a sketch, is not that important and is unnecessary to put much effort on it, just with understanding the idea is enough.
There are many UML diagrams (13 to be exactly) so in the next section there are only the three most important.
Benefits of using UML:
- Improves development time
- Establishes concepts and executables
- Creates a modeling language used by humans and machines
- Improves support and control for project management
- High reuse and reduced costs
- Models systems using object oriented concepts

Crushed eggshells may sound like the last thing you want to use around your plants, but they offer surprising benefits to a wide array of plants. Eggshells are a natural bi-product, and they're rich in nutrients that plants and soil need. Before tossing your eggshells in the garbage, save them for many uses around the garden.
Eggshells are comprised of 93 percent calcium carbonate and 1 percent nitrogen, along with other nutrients that soil needs. Many plants take calcium out of the soil during the growing process. Save your eggshells and dry them out in the oven light or natural sunlight. Crush the shells into a fine powder and spread them around the soil under vegetables, fruit trees and roses to create a natural, nutrient-rich mulch.
Snail Repellent
Eggshells are a natural pest repellent. Instead of grinding the shells into a fine powder, crush them loosely by hand and leave the sharp edges intact. Spread the shells around plants that are being attacked by snails and cutworms to deter these pests. The sharp eggshells protect broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage and other plants that are attractive to snails and worms.
Eggplants, peppers, tomatoes and other plants are susceptible to blossom-end rot, which can be caused by calcium deficiency. These vegetables benefit from crushed eggshells placed directly in the soil around them. Eggshells replace depleted calcium in the soil to protect against this potentially deadly disease.
Many plants are damaged by frosts and cold weather, forcing gardeners to begin growing some plants indoors while they wait for conditions to improve. Eggshells are an inexpensive, easy alternative to pots. Instead of planting your seedlings in large, clay pots, use eggshells. Open the shells at the top and spill out the insides, then thoroughly rinse the shells and allow them to dry. Fill the shells with soil, drop a single seed inside, and you've got small, transportable pots for your seedlings. Once the plants are large enough to be transferred to the garden, simply plant them shell and all. The eggshells will break easily as roots begin to spread and grow, and as the shells break down in the soil they'll release much-needed nourishment to young plants.

Sloppy Joes, okay I know when you read that title you thought "everyone knows how to make these". Everyone may but we all make them just a little bit different. What brought me to write about them and share my recipe is because on Wednesday I received a text from Aimee asking what I put in my sloppy joes. I preceded to share with her as detailed as you can with a text what I put in my sloppy joes. And than decided to make them for dinner.
Whenever I make sloppy joes I think of my brother Curtis. My "recipe" is from him. I don't even know what I used to make before. I just remember one time helping him prepare dinner and this is what we made and these are the ingredients he had me use and how to cook them.
Ingredients: for 2 people (adjust according to how many you are serving)
1/3 lb. ground beef
1/4 yellow onion – diced as small as you like
8 oz. tomatoe sauce
garlic salt to taste – probably about 1/2 tsp.
1 TBS yellow mustard
1/4 to 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce (depending on how tangy you want it)
1/4 to 1/2 cup of brown sugar (depending on how sweet you want it)
That's all, I don't add catsup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, or other ingredients but I know some of you have a recipe that calls for those items.
In a skillet break up your ground beef and add your onions. Cook/saute until the ground beef is thoroughly brown and the onions are transparent (this was the secret Curtis shared with me, if you cook the onions to transparency the flavor is just right and the little guys are not crunchy – so I think about Curtis while I am doing this). While you are cooking the ground beef, break it up with a spatula to little, little pieces (unless you like bite size chunks of ground beef in your sloppy joes)
|You can see I am not picky about onion size
Add the rest of the ingredients; in the order listed. It probably doesn't matter that much what order but I would definitely do the tomato sauce first to have sauce to add the rest too.
|About 1 TBS of mustard
|Take a little taste of the brown sugar before putting it away, its that good.
Simmer until it is the right thickness about 10 minutes.
Serve on a hamburger bun or kaiser roll (because that is what we had)
If you are my husband, add miracle whip or mustard to your bun
Eat and enjoy
If you want to know a little more about my brother Curtis Brinkman – google him

Lured by warm temperatures, sea turtles began laying eggs on area beaches a couple weeks early this year, getting a jump on the official nesting season that began Monday.
Most sea turtles that climb onto the beaches here are loggerheads, named for their large skulls. They usually begin nesting in May, laying about 100 golf ball-sized eggs in a cavity they dig in the sand with their strong rear flippers.
Several nests have already been dug on beaches in Venice and on Lido and Casey keys, according to a press release from Mote Marine Laboratory.
The laboratory is featuring a sea turtle nesting exhibit now, to teach people about the sea turtle life cycle and the threats they face.
Loggerhead sea turtles are protected as a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act.
Mote offers several tips to help Loggerheads survive:
• Remain quiet and observe from a distance if you see a sea turtle.
• Shield or turn off indoor and outdoor lights that are visible on the beach from May through October.
• Move beach furniture off the beach or at least away from the water.
• Fill in holes that may entrap hatchlings on their way to the water.
• Carry out trash.
• Report dead or injured turtles to Mote's stranding program (988-0212) and state wildlife officials (888-404-3922). Also report anyone disturbing a sea turtle or nest to wildlife officials, local law enforcement and Mote's sea turtle program at 388-4331.
Do Not:
• Approach nesting turtles or hatchlings, make noise, or shine lights at turtles.
• Use flashlights or fishing lamps on the beach.
• Encourage a turtle to move while nesting or pick up hatchlings that have emerged and are heading for the water.
• Use fireworks on the beach.
Sea turtle nesting season starts early
Lured by warm temperatures, sea turtles began laying eggs on area beaches a couple weeks early this year, getting a jump on the official nesting season that began Monday.

In order to correspond with an individual patient, you must select them from the Collaborative Inbox in the column on the left of the screen. This will open an individual patient's channel. In the patient channel, you will see all automations and messages that have ever been sent to the patient by any WELL user or WELL-BOT, and any event messages related to changing information or status taken on an appointment.
Within the channel, all inbound patient messages appear on the left-hand side, all outbound staff or WELL-BOT generated messages appear on the right-hand side, and all event messages appear in the center of the channel.
About WELL-BOT
All automation messages will be marked as sent from WELL-BOT. Examples include:
- Reminders for a specific appointment, procedure, or recall (e.g. a 2-day appointment reminder)
- Messages after the appointment occurred (e.g. a thank-you message sent a few hours after the patient was seen)
- Campaign messages sent to a larger list of patients
- After-hours responses sent when the practice is not open
About Event Messages
Event messages note relevant changes to patient information within WELL. These messages are not visible to patients. Below are examples of Event messages WELL users may see:
- A patient has taken action on an appointment
- Demographic information has changed
- A channel has been marked as opened, closed, or pending
The event message is timestamped and also indicates who took the action, whether it was the patient, a WELL user, or a live update interfaced from the electronic medical record (EMR).
About Internal Messages
Internal Messages streamline collaborating and triaging patient issues between staff members and across teams. They help you ensure conversations or action items make it into the hands of the correct people, and allow you to loop in a clinician or another department when necessary.
These appear in the patient channel as yellow text boxes and will appear to any user who has access. Internal messages will not be sent to the patient.
Read more about Internal Messages.
Secure vs. Unsecure
Within the patient channel small lock icons appear next to the WELL user's name that sent the message.
- A closed lock indicates that the message was sent securely.
- The unlocked icon indicates that the message was sent as an ordinary, unsecured text message.
By default, any message sent through WELL will be secured (locked) unless rendered unsecure by the user. When a patient receives a secure message, they will have to click on a hyperlink and enter protected health information (PHI) unique to them to view the content of the message.
To send an unsecured message, simply type two exclamation marks "!!" at the start of your message or click the red lock, and the patient will receive the message as a regular text.
Read more about sending Secure vs. Unsecure messages.
Smart Phrases
Within the Patient Channel you can use Smart Phrases to tailor your message to a specific patient. Smart Phrases auto-populate specific information related to that patient's demographic, provider, or appointment information.
Read more about using Smart Phrases.
Quick Response Templates
Quick Responses are canned responses for common messages. Simply select the Quick Response Template you want to use and send with a click. This feature reduces the amount of times users have to copy and paste a specific response for multiple patients, and it can decrease the amount of possible typos in a given message.
Read more about Quick Response Templates.
Sending Media
You can send PDFs, images, short videos, and even forms to your patients through WELL. This functionality is useful for scenarios where text isn't enough for the patient. For example, perhaps they need peri-procedural information or detailed instructions before a scan.
Read more about Sending Media to Patients.
Updating Channel Status
You can easily update a patient channel status from the tool bar located in the messaging box. The button above the "Send Text" button allows you to manually change the status of a channel to either Open, Pending, or Closed. The status options that are visible will be dependent on the current status of the channel. For example, if the channel is currently Open, you will see the option to change the status to be either Pending, or Closed.
Pinning Patients
You now have the capability to pin patient messages to the top of your inbox AND see who else has those same messages pinned. Pinning patients provides even more clarity to your peers about when you're taking action on a message.
Read More about how and when to use Pinning.

View New Lanark in a larger map
The Scottish Wildlife Trust in New Lanark had organised a walk round the Falls of Clyde Reserve followed by mulled wine and mince pies afterwards at the visitor centre today so I joined in the fun.
The cold weather has gone for a while and it was much milder and sunny today. A group of us met up at the visitor centre and walked to the Falls of the Clyde. These are spectacular falls a bit like the Victoria Falls, only on a smaller scale and were described by poet William Wordsworth as "the Clyde's most majestic daughter" after a visit in 1802.
JMW Turner painted the Falls between 1844 and 1846. Sir Walter Scott and Samuel Taylor Coleridge were also visitors to the area.
The path around the Falls is well marked and not too muddy, although there is a steep climb to the viewing area at Cora Linn. On the way there we passed the nursery where the Trust is establishing trees from seedlings and replanting in different areas of the reserve.
|Dundaff Linn
|View from Dundaff Linn
The Falls of Clyde provides suitable habitat for badgers, roe deer and over 100 species of bird. From March to June the area site is well known for its resident breeding pair of peregrine falcons which are protected during the breeding season by Operation Peregrine which provides security for the birds. The River Clyde is suitable habitat for Otters and Kingfishers.
The water level of the River Clyde was very high due to the high levels of snow and rain which had fallen in the previous weeks.
|Falls of the Clyde at Corra Linn
This made the view of Corra Linn spectacular. Winter is a good time to view it because of the high levels of water at this time of year. At other times the water may be reduced to a trickle when there has been a dry spell.
Water is also diverted to the hydro power station at Cora Linn for the generation of electricity so this also can have a significant effect on the water level.
|Group admiring Dundaff Linn
After admiring the falls at Corra Linn we walked back to the visitor centre for mulled wine and mince pies.
The visitor centre will be closing on Christmas Eve and not re-opening until the end of March 2013. When it re-opens there will be no shop, but there will be a large educational room for lectures and talks.

Connaught shares suspended
Published: 07 September, 2010
EXETER: Troubled social housing group Connaught has pulled its shares from the Stock Exchange amid reports the company is on the brink of administration.
In July, the company's bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, agreed a short term £15m facility to tide it over after it ran into financial difficulties. The company also entered talks with is creditors including Travis Perkins.
In a statement to the market this morning, the company said: "Since that date Connaught has had continuing discussions with its lenders and other sources of finance with the objective of securing additional funding and a restructuring of the group's financing for the longer term."
"The group now believes that the availability of additional funds from its lenders will not be forthcoming and, whilst it remains in discussions with other parties, the ability to provide an adequate solution to the funding issues the Group faces has become increasingly uncertain."
The BBC reported that the company's creditors have decided to put it into administration. Other options are a debt for equity swap with its lenders or a sell-off of parts of the business.
Sir Roy Gardner, who recently became chairman of the company, has attempted to put together a rescue plan with the help of several new directors. Founder Mark Tincknell left the company earlier this year on health grounds less than six months into his second spell as chief executive.
The company has blamed government cuts for some of its financial difficulties. At the same time analysts have raised questions about its accounting practices that meant upfront mobilization costs on contracts were spread over the lifetime of the contract rather than at the beginning.
Until their suspension today, the company's shares had fallen by more than 90% following the warning in June that it had identified 31 projects where spending will be delayed as a result of austerity measures, wiping £80m off revenues and £13m from underlying profits in this financial year.
Sales and profits were also expected to fall by a further £120m and £16m respectively next year, it added. Connaught's debts were estimated to be in region of £220m.

The powerful tropical storm is heading northward from western Japan and will likely skirt the eastern coastal regions, including Busan, Ulsan and the easternmost islands of Ulleung and Dokdo, early Thursday, according to the country's weather agency. Krosa is not expected to make landfall in South Korea.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety said it had raised the typhoon advisory by a notch to "cautionary" as of 6 p.m. and convened the central crisis management team to get into an emergency mode.
The ministry held a series of meetings with related agencies earlier in the day to prepare for the approaching typhoon.
Seoul has called on residents in potentially exposed areas to abstain from leaving their homes and brace for strong winds and heavy rains. (Yonhap)

Since the beginning of the academic year last fall, several student groups have voiced concerns about the impossibility of obtaining university permits for different activities.
The trend is feared to further hamper university freedoms, student organizers say.
In 2014, a law was passed to ban student activities affiliated with political parties or groups. In an attempt to circumvent the new restrictions, various political student groups were forced to change the names and descriptions of their activities in official documents presented to university administrations in order to continue operating.
According to university bylaws, student groups must be approved by university administrations in November of every academic year, in order to give the students enough time to carry them out by the end of the academic year in June.
Al-Midan, a student organization affiliated with the liberal Dostour party, was among these groups.
The organization's leader at Tanta University, Maha Abu Raya, explains to Mada Masr that the group, along with several others, have not receive official approval from the university's administration yet, even after dissociating their activities from the party.
"We are now in April, and we have not received the requisite approval. When we asked about reasons for the delay, we were told that state security is behind it. Is it part of the security apparatus' work to approve campus activities now?" Raya asks.
An event in Mansoura University's faculty of engineering was canceled, according to the faculty's Student Union Vice President Mohamed Seyam, because it hosted young religious preacher Amir Mounir.
"Any serious event will not be approved — we are only allowed to hold entertainment events," he explains. "The effort it takes to get a permit for an event is way more than the effort it takes to hold the event itself."
Amr al-Helw, head of Tanta University's student union, previously called on student groups nationwide to operate under established student unions, thereby excluding university administrations from the approval process. Helw is also the vice president of the Egyptian Student Union, the umbrella union that consists of representatives of different student unions, which was dissolved early last year.
But even the activities held by student unions face the same restrictions.
The student union of Assiut University's faculty of engineering declared the suspension its activities due to the university administration's reluctance to issue permits. In a statement, the union said that two scientific tours in Cairo were prevented from taking place, without any reason provided.
Mohamed Salah, the vice president of the university's student union, tells Mada Masr that the faculty's student union is angry that the administration has undermined its authority.
Raya believes that Helw's suggestion, therefore, does not offer a real alternative. "We are still required to get approvals by the university [administration]. In addition, this would put us at the mercy of student unions. What if unions aren't cooperative enough? We have a right to work independently from unions and administrations alike," she states.
Seyam agrees, adding that as a student union leader, he has been working tirelessly to avoid any potential conflicts with the administration. "We are struggling not to get events or activities canceled. We are fighting just to exist and function properly," he adds.
Salah, however, thinks that the situation may have to do more than with just security concerns. Bureaucratic obstacles and universities' misinterpretation of bylaws could also be reasons for the challenges student groups face, he says.
Officials at the Supreme Council of Universities were not available to comment on the issue.
The current academic year witnessed a contentious start with the elections for the new student unions, which resulted in a sweeping victory for a number of pro-revolution student leaders over other government-backed student groups. In response, the Higher Education Ministry annulled the election results for the Egyptian Student Union.
The faceoff between elected leaders and the ministry has resulted in a long and complicated legal saga, with students accusing the ministry of deliberately restricting campus freedoms. Raya believes that the problem with student groups is not separate from the larger conflict over the fate of Egyptian Student Union.
"The academic year is about to end. The legal issues with the ESU have not been resolved and the elected union leaders cannot work collectively under a legitimate organization. Student groups cannot operate. It is obvious that there is an intention to stifle any independent student work," she concludes.

Most of these dolls were made by either Glenni or Leighanne (raggedyoldfriend)...Leighanne made the crow...and the wool crow strawberry picture was a project Glenni made up and the 3 of us did when Glenni visited a few years ago...
this raggedy annie with the rug hooked heart was also a project Glenni brought and we made her together...I look at these things and they remind me of my dear friends and they make me happy!!!
This little gal was made by Kaf Grimm...a most talented dollmaker who I had the pleasure to spend a little time with a few years ago on Cape Cod with Glenni...we ate pizza on the beach and it was a great memory!
These gals are by a doll maker named Priscilla...I have tons of her dolls, they are the first ones I collected, and they are what inspired me to start making Annies myself...
Hope you enjoyed my little corner of prim:)

Taiwanese investors search for more yield in ETFs and insurance
Panel at the 5th Taiwan Investment Summit discusses opportunities in the market such as bond ETFs and investment-linked insurance
Several panelists at the 5th Taiwan Investment Summit today discussed the growing appetite among Taiwanese investors for newer and opportunistic investment strategies. The island has invested around US$750 billion offshore, indicating that investors are constantly on the lookout for investment in foreign locations.
In terms of onshore Taiwanese fund types, there has been a significant change in the allocation strategy by Taiwanese investors exiting their positions in equity and balance strategies and focusing on fixed income and ETF products. According to data from SITCA (Securities Investment Trust & Consulting Association), assets under management (AUM) grew in fixed income and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) strategies with ETFs seeing a 131.78% increase from March 2018 to March 2019.
"A lot of institutional investors are buying bond ETFs because they benefit from the US dollar appreciation," explains one of the panelists at the summit today.
Some panelists were quick to share that bond tracking ETFs have rapidly grown due to interest from investors. According to figures shared by the Pension Fund Association in Taiwan, there were less than 15 Bond ETFs at the start of 2018, but by the end of March 2019 there were close to 75 Bond ETFs.
"Investors have chosen the ETF market due to better market access generally," shares another panelist at the summit.
Another major area of interest for Taiwanese investors is investment-linked insurance products with some members of the audience at the summit mentioning that they had at least five insurance policies. However, members of a panel warned that while this may be good for insurance agents, people should exercise caution with the policies they purchase.
"I think there needs to be education about what can be achieved via these investment-linked insurance policies and how this fits with their goals," shares one asset manager on stage.
Whether it is bond ETFs or insurance investment-linked products, it is clear that Taiwanese investors are constantly in search of opportunities to enhance their capital.

Dear friends around the world,
The year 2015 is drawing to a close, and I find myself taking stock of the preceding 12 months.
This has been a momentous year in our world. I lament the hate and xenophobia that spews forth from many of our elected leaders. I grieve for those who flee their own countries, and who live in fear in their own cities, even as I urge local officials and national elected officers to take positive, love-filled actions.
Closer to home, I rejoice in little acts, such as a colleague organizing a concert for peace last week, and the various collections of food and household needs that allow me to share the riches of everyday life.
The year 2015 is my first in three years with no broken bones, so I rejoice further!
I think of family. Both nieces reached milestones this year, with Kristen graduating from college with her nursing degree, and Anna graduating high school and starting college here in Saint Louis. My father turned 80 this year; we shared a quiet family celebration, as were his wishes. Sisters Karen and Beth and their families continue to live in the Kansas City area.
I think of creativity. Jimmy Stevens premiered my setting of "Storypeople Songs" in April. I received a couple of awards for music directing in musical theatre, with nods from both the Saint Louis Theatre Critics Circle and the Riverfront Times. My students just go from strength to strength, and I delight in their successes too. Various writing projects and composing projects are coming to conclusion, with hopes that the next year may see some publications too.
I think of school. Now in my eighth year at Webster University, I continue to love and cherish the rigors, challenges, and opportunities of the day job. I made full Professor this year, starting Fall 2015 at the new rank. We hired a new colleague this year and sent a 42-year member of the faculty off into retirement. We have two more searches underway right now. Our students continue to amaze me. My own students continue to provide me both joy and challenge, and I grow through my interaction with them. We added two new performance programs this semester, with another on the way. Our holiday concert is available to view!
I think of travel. This summer was filled with away days. A friend and I vacationed in three European capitals (Amsterdam, where we stayed five nights in a canal boat!; Berlin; and Prague, in an apartment overlooking the river and the Charles Bridge). That trip included a day visit to Antwerp, Belgium; one to Potsdam, Germany, where I visited the site of the Potsdam Conference; and a sober away-day in Terezin to see the Czech concentration camp. I returned to Europe a few weeks later to engage in some Webster University work in two more capitals (Athens and Vienna), but not before having a couple of idyllic vacation days on the island of Hydra, of the Greek Peloponnesian coast. Meanwhile, this year included a couple of trips to New York City, to Chicago, and long weekends in Las Vegas and Helena (both of the latter trips to see students in shows). I also hit Interlochen, Michigan; Bourbonnais, Illinois; the Lake of the Ozarks; and Lincoln, Nebraska — all for various things related to work and service.
I think of companions. A few days after returning from Europe in September, I made a difficult decision about my beloved Samson. His daily lot was confusion and distress as he suffered from canine dementia. He died in my arms on September 28, slipping away peacefully as I sang to him and thanked him for being my loyal friend. We'd been together for nearly seven years; he had been with me in this home for all but one month that I've lived at 25 Lawn Place. After publicly proclaiming I'd wait a while until another furry friend shows up, I adopted Augustus Rex, a miniature Schnauzer, on October 31. This little four-year-old rescue dog has brought new joy and very different energy to my life, and I think I to his. He's certainly getting me outdoors more often!
I think of my home. This little house in the City of Saint Louis continues to be a delightful place to live and love and be peaceful. I undertook some remodeling this year, and now have a home office and study where I can relax and feel at home. The former home library is now the guest room, and I have a proper wood-floor, leather wing chair, memento-covered-wall home office. Conversely, I am also reminded of the darker side of urban living, as a recent nighttime burglary attests. Thanks be to god for alarm systems and God-winks that caused me to have my housekeys upstairs with me that night!
December is a full month of music, but every month is! This month alone includes concerts at the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra and at Webster. A performance of The Nutcracker by the Missouri Ballet. A holiday cabaret performed by colleagues at the Tavern of Fine Arts. Lessons & Carols at a local Episcopal church. (A screening of Star Wars four days before Christmas.) A jazz event at school, and a student composer's final concert as well. And then Christmas Eve at my home parish of Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral in Kansas City, where I will conduct my own setting of "The Oxen" with the choir. I am rich in music and art!
As I write today, Morton Lauridsen's setting of "O magnum mysterium" is on the stereo. Oh, how great this mystery, that animals should witness this virgin birth as Christ comes to earth. This mystery continues to confound and thrill. And our world needs now, as much as ever, the light of Christ — of true Christ-like teaching of love, acceptance, forgiveness, charity — to break through the gloom, in glorious brightness of day, in truth and passionate commitment to caring for others . . . to healing our world . . . to loving our neighbors as ourselves.
May Christmastide 2015 lead us into a glorious new year.

PATRICIA A. GABOW, M.D.; DAVID W. IKLÉ, Ph.D.; JOSEPH H. HOLMES, M.D.
To develop a profile of nonazotemic polycystic kidney disease as it occurs in families, we identified and studied 164 persons with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease, 81 persons suspected of having the disease, and 250 family members without the disease. Because symptoms were absent in 32% of patients with the disease but present in 30% of persons without the disease, symptoms are not reliable in screening for the disease. Hypertension and palpable kidneys and liver were significantly commoner in patients with the disease, but systolic murmur unrelated to hypertension (10.5%) and peripheral edema (9.3%) also were common. Normal laboratory values do not exclude the diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease. Ultrasonography appears to be more sensitive than excretory urography in detecting the disease and also can detect hepatic cysts. Berry aneurysms can occur and are an important cause of mortality and morbidity. The relation of renal cysts to signs, symptoms and renal function is discussed.

Ski Bunnies and College Hoops, Irish Wizards and the Edmonia Lewis Quiz
March 14, 2007
Wednesday is the new Thursday
Fun things to make plans to do this week…
Wednesday — Ski for Spring Break, Winter Park, CO
Be different — skip the beach and bikini scene this year and spend spring break on the slopes instead. Winter Park, Colorado has a regional women's giant slalom event going on this week and plenty to do apres-snow. Just 1.5 hours from Denver, it is easy to get to and if you use FlyLite to help you pack and SeatGuru to find the best seats, your spring break will practically plan itself. Book your gear online 48 hours ahead and save 20 percent. Now go put away that beach towel.
Thursday — March Madness Opening Rounds
So what if the NCAA Tournament costs U.S. employers upwards of one billion dollars in lost productivity each spring? With 32 games alone today and tomorrow, it's useless to try and resist it.
Friday — Wizard World, Los Angeles, CA
It's a pop-culture extravaganza this weekend in L.A. as Wizard World comes to town. Whether you're into comics, anime, gaming or collectibles, don't miss this three-day event with too many special guests for us to name them all — except maybe we'll point out that Greg Grunberg will be there for our Alias fans.
Saturday — St. Patrick's Day, Chicago, IL
Chicago's celebration is probably the most famous way to get your green on… they dye the Chicago River green at 10:45 a.m., the parade starts at noon, and who cares what time the beer starts getting ingested? You're not in Chicago? Well that's no excuse, you can watch it nationwide on WGN from the comfort of your very own green-watered bathtub… or even just the couch.
Sunday — Women's History Month Art Tour, Washington, DC
Redeem yourself of all that Irish beer and get thee some culture today at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Sure you know about Georgia O'Keefe, but do you know who Edmonia Lewis is? Well then, you better run over to this art tour. It starts at 2 p.m. so your hangover is no excuse. Reports are due on Monday.
Renkoo helps you make plans with friends.

In the last couple of years, I've had a lot of conversations about gossip at the work place and, almost every time, I received a lot of answers accepting, justifying or encouraging this type of behaviour, across all levels of an organization.
A study realized by CPP Global in US, during 2008, shows that an employee spends almost 2,8 hours per week in a form of conflict, which translates financially in a loss of almost 359 billion dollars each year. Doing the math for Romania, considering the international average of 2,5 hours and the latest statistics about employees at a national level, we're talking about an average of 3 billion euros each year, money lost in conflict management.
So what is gossip and what stands behind it?
Gossip, actually, represents an activity through which people seek allies, who support their convictions and behaviours, or enemies against whom they need to justify their actions.
The most frequent situations where gossip appears are:
- People looking for others to resonate with their complaints against a certain someone, without actually considering a confrontation with that certain someone and solving the problem.
- People don't openly communicate during meetings, work sessions etc., but spend a lot of time and energy to complain afterwards.
- People spend a lot of time in drawing others on their "side", sustaining conflict.
There are also people who consider these types of behaviour as a form of trust building, but what happens in the meantime and how does gossip actually affect relationships and organizations?
- First of all, people spend time justifying their actions instead of solving the problem
- These type of behaviours lead to resentment and breaking relationships, over time.
- The work place becomes an upleasant space
- Personal productivity drops
- Sustaining gossips actually leads to even more conflict, as it supports a negative behaviour across the company
- The financial loss becomes considerable.
This scenario which a lot of companies have to deal with creates major costs on middle and long term. If we consider the following formula: each employee spends at least 30 minutes per week supporting gossip. What does that mean for you as an employer?
What can you do?
If we let go of our emotions and analyze these behaviours in a detached way, we will see that behind gossip there are actually many issues: the difference between expectations and work realities, the need for respect, understanding, recognition etc. And the problem remains then – our choice regarding these matters. Our behaviour makes the difference. Do we give in to gossip or solve the issue?
One way to transform this negative energy of a conflict into a good working energy is using Leading out of Drama tools, becoming compassionate and assertive in our communication and relationships.

Cardinals' bats back Lynn in sweep of Marlins
MIAMI -- Lance Lynn was in control over six shutout innings, and he received some help from an unsung Cardinals hero, shortstop Pete Kozma, who stepped up at the plate and in the field on a night Jhonny Peralta was given a breather.
• Cast your Esurance All-Star ballot for #ASGWorthy players
Lynn scattered two hits and Kozma had three hits, was hit by a pitch, scored twice and drove in a run in St. Louis' 5-1 win over Miami on Thursday night at Marlins Park. St. Louis completed the three-game sweep, as Miami has dropped four straight.
Video: STL@MIA: Lynn pitches six scoreless innings
"We don't make that big a deal about a sweep and we don't make that big a deal if we have one or two get away from us," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "We just come back and play the game the next day and I think that's a very simplified idea about how we go about our business."
Miami right-hander Dan Haren had a tough-luck outing, giving up four runs on six hits in six-plus innings. He limited St. Louis to one run heading into the seventh, but the three batters that reached off him in the inning all scored after he exited the game.

In their three-run seventh, Kozma legged out a bunt single on what intended to be a sacrifice. He ended up scoring the third run in the inning, hustling home on Mark Reynolds' sacrifice fly on a ball second baseman Dee Gordon caught in short right field.
The Marlins avoided being shut out on Adeiny Hechavarria's two-out homer in the ninth. Miami scored just five runs in the series. Three runs were driven in by Giancarlo Stanton, who had two homers in the sweep.

"Going back to our lack of production with runners in scoring position, it's catching up to us right now," Marlins manager Dan Jennings said after his team went 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position for the series.
Haren hits Kozma: When Haren grazed Kozma's shoulder with a pitch with one out in the third inning, it ended up being a pivotal moment, because the Cardinals were able capitalize. Lynn dropped a sacrifice bunt, and Wong delivered an RBI double, putting St. Louis on the board. More >

Lynn bears down: The right-hander worked into trouble a few times in his six innings, but Lynn's most dangerous spot came in the the sixth. Protecting a 1-0 lead, Lynn walked Stanton and Justin Bour with two out, but he bounced back against Marcell Ozuna to record an inning-ending strikeout. Lynn -- who threw 92 pitches and allowed just two hits -- also stranded a runner on second in the fifth after stranding two in the third. More >
"I was able to move the ball in and out and had good movement on all the pitches," Lynn said. "I was able to mix it up when I needed to, so that was good."
Garcia bunt misplayed: With none out and runners on first and second in the seventh, pinch-hitter Greg Garcia was trying to give himself up with a sacrifice bunt. So he bunted back to Marlins reliever Mike Dunn, who spun to third before delivering to first -- allowing Garcia to beat the throw and load the bases. It opened the way to two more Cardinals runs in the frame as they scored three in the inning to take a 4-0 lead.

"For the first time in a long time, we did not handle the ball very well defensively," Jennings said. "We failed to execute. We have a saying around here, 27 outs and no more. We couldn't get the out on two sacrifice bunts."
Stanton and less else: Throughout the series, the Marlins' offense was Stanton and little else. Stanton had two homers and drove in three of the five runs Miami scored in the set. On Thursday, Stanton had a single in the fourth inning and a walk with two out in the sixth. With it still a one-run game in the sixth inning, Stanton was stranded on second.
"We signed up for 162, so we're going to play them all. Yeah, there is a level of frustration. No one likes to lose. These guys come out here every day, they put the same amount of work and effort in. You hate to waste quality starts. Dan has been our most consistent guy. He gave it to us again tonight." -- Jennings

In his 638th MLB plate appearance, Kozma was hit by a pitch for the first time. He was was grazed on his left shoulder.
Cardinals: John Lackey (6-4, 3.41 ERA) will start the opener of a three-game home series against the Cubs on Friday at 7:15 p.m. CT. The veteran righty has allowed just three runs in 15 innings over his past two starts (2-0).
Marlins: Left-hander Justin Nicolino (1-0, 0.00) gets the ball on Friday for the opener of a three-game home series against the Dodgers at 7:10 p.m. ET. Nicolino won his MLB debut, throwing seven shutout innings at Cincinnati. Lefty Brett Anderson (3-4, 3.29) starts for Los Angeles.

When Bernard Connolly wrote his book – The Rotten Heart of Europe – nearly 18 years ago, you could pick up a copy for a few pounds. If you'd tried to buy one as a Christmas present last year, you would have had to fork out more like £1,000. Why? Because Connolly was right.
His 1995 book (reissued this month) pointed out the underlying flaws in the idea of a European monetary union, called it a threat to freedom and democracy, and predicted a nasty endgame. As this began to happen, the price of the book began to rise. I wonder if any of this surprises him?
It doesn't. The Rotten Heart of Europe may look prophetic, but "it was really stating the bleeding obvious". It's just that, back then, "lots of people didn't want to see or recognise the bleeding obvious". Now they have to.
Has the eurozone been a mess in the way he expected? Completely. It was "badly constructed", because the people who constructed it didn't care about economics, only about politics. The plan from day one was to "put in place a mechanism" that would force Europe's countries into a political union. Anyone who doesn't believe that must believe instead that "these people were so blind, incompetent, and stupid that they should never have been allowed to be in charge of a whelk stall".
What will happen next? If you want the euro to hold, there are two routes: the German route of a fiscal union "in which the Germans set rules that everyone else has to follow"; or a transfer union in which everyone else "puts their hands in Germany's pocket". You can't have both.
Of course, the Germans might accept the idea of making transfers to other countries as long as "they made the rules work in such a way that there would never be a need for transfers". How might that work? I ask. It probably couldn't – there may even in principle "be no economic solution" to the euro problem – but that won't stop Germany thinking it could.
The key to grasping this, says Connolly, is to look not at government finances (as we mostly do), but at each nation's balance sheet (the current account). If you want to make things work, you have to find a way to balance the current account with full employment.
Spain has almost eliminated its current-account deficit (brought its imports down to a level similar to its exports). But this has been more about crushing internal demand than growing exports – hence the 27% unemployment. So there is still a huge "full-employment current-account deficit".
To sort that out, you must balance this compression of demand with improving competitiveness – so that more Spanish goods are consumed internally and externally. Normally this is straightforward: your currency falls and the job is done. In a monetary union you end up with "internal devaluation" (basically a nasty euphemism for forcing down wages, which pushes up the real value of debt along the way).
But even if this was possible – and given the social unrest it comes with, it may not be – there's no saying that it can work. The process of internal devaluation pushes down internal demand further and "as you depress demand more, you need to improve competitiveness more to restore growth in employment". You can get to the point "under which this process never converges". It just spirals down. That's why residential mortgage arrears are rising fast and unemployment has quadrupled.
Things will get a lot worse. The path of long-term unemployment – "the deer moving through the snake" – is very disturbing. However strong family networks are, and "however hard your granny or your auntie tries to pay your mortgage for you", eventually it can't be done. If we keep on this path, "mortgages will become simply impossible to service in Spain".
There is also a huge oversupply of houses, to the extent that "it's been very hard to believe the official data on…prices over the last few years". The upshot is that Spain is in "deep trouble". There has been no real improvement in the full-employment current-account deficit since 2007/2008. "They are not going to be able to do it." The recent optimism about Spanish banks? "Delusional."
I wonder, when it seems so clear that internal devaluation is so unlikely to work, why the Germans are pushing so hard for more of it. "They understand monetary union less well than just about anyone else." Perhaps they are blinded by how well it has worked for Germany? It has worked well "for some people", says Connolly.
It has worked for exporters, and for the banks during the boom, when they lent everyone else the money to buy German products. It effectively became a vendor-financing operation to the rest of Europe. But while German exporters are still fine, the banks aren't doing so well.
Is there any way out? What if he were in charge? Spain would have to leave. You "could imagine there being a northern block of the surplus countries of Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Austria". A northern currency would soar, but at least Germany wouldn't face "having to dole out 10% of its GDP every year" in a transfer union. And it could deal with the rising currency by stimulating domestic demand – which would help with the "global adjustment process".
The problem is France, which hasn't got a current-account surplus and does have a "competitiveness problem". Economically, it can't live with the German block, but it is unlikely to end up leading a "rival Latin block" either. That's why France is "so desperate to keep all the others in" and hang on to the myth that it holds some power within the union as it stands.
So it is really France that is working to hold the union together? "Yes," says Connolly. But it can't. "Who knows how long it takes", but in the end the weaker members "have to go". Would it help for the European Central Bank (ECB) to loosen monetary policy? "They have already done so to a considerable degree." You can't get Spain, Portugal, Greece, and "even France" into balance without "destroying their economies", so in the end you have two choices: "you can recreate the bubble, or you have the transfer union".
It is clear that, if it must, Germany would prefer to "recreate the bubble through the ECB". But this can never be more than a stop-gap. One day "the bubble becomes the economy… there is no productive capital left", and the Ponzi scheme of constantly loosening monetary policy ends.
I ask about his idea that monetary union is a threat to freedom and peace. He doesn't, he says, mean there are likely to be "Panzer battles on the plains". Instead, he sees the union as part of a "deliberate attempt to break down a political sense of national identity". It is this that he sees ending in social unrest.
Human beings need a "focus of belonging". If they don't get it via their nation, they end up "viewing themselves as belonging to a religious sect… or a racial or linguistic group". You "can't have a civilised, peaceful democratic society on that basis". The EU, in "attempting to destroy traditional structures, institutions and modes of thought", is "destroying… civilisation".
Our meeting took place just before David Cameron's big Europe speech. Does Connolly see any point in the EU for Britain? Not really. If you go back to the start, you can see why people thought it made sense for Britain to be in the single market. But look again today and it isn't clear.
"In the late 1950s, there were protectionist barriers everywhere." It was an "explicitly, aggressively protectionist system". That's not the case now. So the external environment has changed to our advantage. And the internal? Massively to our disadvantage. The EU is stealing freedom and destroying civilisation: the endless "stupid rules" and the sacrifice of our democracy are too big a price to pay. "If we started now, we certainly wouldn't join." So why stay?
Who is Bernard Connolly?
Oxford-educated economist Bernard Connolly made headlines when he lost his job at the European Commission in 1995, after writing The Rotten Heart of Europe: The Dirty War for Europe's Money. The book (now re-issued by Faber & Faber, price £14.99) attacked the European Exchange-Rate Mechanism (the euro's precursor), arguing it was part of a plan to force a greater degree of political and economic integration than popular opinion would support.
The Times's Anatole Kaletsky called the book "the most intellectually persuasive, economically coherent and politically prescient account yet published of the development of European institutions in the 1990s". In 2001, Connolly received the Frøde Jakobsen prize, awarded in Denmark for 'outstanding moral courage in public affairs'.
After a predictably unsuccessful complaint against the European Commission in the European Court of Justice, Connolly joined AIG Trading Group. After 11 years working for AIG units, he went on to found economics consultancy Connolly Insight, where his analysis is highly sought-after. Future Bank of England head Mark Carney specifically mentioned him as one of the very few economists to predict the global financial crisis.

Ordinarily when people consider Bankruptcy in Whitsundays they have no awareness of just what a Trustee is, but really they are among one of the most essential individuals for the next few years of your life. They have power over a lot of your assets and choices you can make.
When managing the possibility of Bankruptcy it is hard to see clearly and hard to be confident that you have made the most ideal option. It is for that reason that you have to make sure that you are being given expert recommendations along with making sure you talk this through with your family and friends for help. One of the greatest main reasons that you should get expert guidance when it comes to Bankruptcy in Whitsundays is because they will manage to really tell you about not just what will impact you right now, but what Bankruptcy will mean for the next few years of your life.
So who or exactly what is the Trustee?
The Trustee is essentially the individual put in charge of overlooking your bankruptcy and taking action in the very best interest of all individuals. They will make reviews and queries into your unpaid debts, they will appropriately take command of the debtor's property and financial affairs, and they will keep track of what you can and can not do. In Whitsundays this can even involve your capability to travel internationally, operate certain kinds of business, or holding particular kinds of licences. Commonly, if you look into Bankruptcy, you will notice that you will endure through a bankruptcy period of 3 years and 1 day, and through that time the Trustee is going to be a crucial figure– particularly as if you breach any of the policies they can easily in fact increase your bankruptcy to 5, or maybe 8 years!
There is a list of responsibilities that you must fulfill when it concerns Bankruptcy– and finding out about the implications of all of it is among the essential reasons you should seek skilled guidance. At Bankruptcy Experts Whitsundayswe provide a Free- No Commitment Examination which you can establish from our website www.bankruptcyexpertswhitsundays.com.au or call 1300 795 575.
However here is a simple guide of a few of your obligations to the trustee when bankrupt
- First of all you must comply with all demands made by your trustee– this is rather straight forward, if your trustee asks you to carry out anything, or for a bit of relevant information about you or your business then you must produce it. This additionally indicates that you must supply all books, statements, and other documents to the trustee.
- You must tell the trustee in writing right away if you move home– they need to regularly know how and where to contact you, otherwise it looks like you are planning to hide.
- You must ask for the trustee's consent in advance before going overseas. Regardless if it is an emergency situation or crisis, you nonetheless will need to ask for consent– you may also need to surrender your passport to the trustee if asked.
- You should tell the trustee promptly if you realise that you failed to remember to admit any details related to assets or creditors.
- You must inform the trustee right away if you get any new assets– this means your car or property despite how you receive them. As a matter of fact, there is specific reference within the guidelines that you need to also notify the trustee if you acquire any cash or prizes, or if you inherit anything as the named beneficiary of a deceased estate.
As you can see, the whole system of Bankruptcy is complex, and the trustee really is a formidable figure through the entire process. They have the ability to make the operation run smoother, or to deny specific actions, but ultimately they exist to function as a neutral third party position in between you and the individuals you owe money to.
With any luck you have found out a little from this and you now realise that there is a number of demanding elements to Bankruptcy and that you have to make sure you are obtaining the appropriate suggestions and understanding all the implications of commitments placed on you when Insolvent – particularly how crucial the trustee might be. If you have any inquiries or issues about anything here, or if you want to cover Bankruptcy generally, then please get in contact with us here at Bankruptcy Experts Whitsundays for a Free Consultation without any commitments which you can establish from our website Bankruptcy Whitsundays or call 1300 795 575.

Archaeologists and scientists from the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, have discovered the remains of some of the country's earliest settlers.
Four leaders of Jamestown, the first successful English colony located about 80 miles south of DC, have been unearthed using high-tech equipment and detective work.
Dr James Horn, president of the Jamestown Recovery Foundation, said: "This is the earliest English church in America - 1608 - and without any question the four men buried in the Chancel between 1608 and 1610 are four of the first leaders of the whole English enterprise in America. These men in various ways witnessed the first three years of the establishment of the colony. They endured food shortages, starvation, Indian attacks and disease."
Researchers used skeletal analyses, chemical testing, and 3D technology research to identify the men who lived and died when the settlement was on the brink of failure due to famine, disease and war. Scientists said the four helped guide the colony during its difficult years after its founding in 1607.

Koodalmanikyam Temple is the only temple in India devoted to Bharatha, who, according to mythology was the brother of lord Rama. This ancient temple with a unique deity hosts a colorful eleven-day annual festival with a display of twelve caparisoned elephants. Falling in April/May, this festival marks the end of Hindu festival period in Kerala.
Festival is held for all days in Medom (April-May) from Utram to Thiruvonamasterisms, the flag hoisting being on the Utram day. Procession accompanied by caparisoned elephants is the particular features of the festival.
The earliest historical reference to Koodalmanikyam Temple is found on a stone inscription attributed to the Chera king Stanu Ravi Varman dated 854 A.D, donating vast extents of land for the temple. It is, therefore, reasonable to assume that the temple must have been in existence for quite some time before this date and that even then Koodalmanikyam occupied a place of importance among temples of Kerala.
