The mechanics of a layer, many particle diameters thick, of a particle fluid system where the particles are large and exist at high concentrations is examined. Two distinct matters are examined, the first being the development of equations describing the overall characteristics of the system if the "local" equations governing the system at a point are known, and the second being the development of these local equations for large particles. It is shown that, if the local equations describing the dispersive stress - shear stress relationship and the stress - rate of strain relationship are single valued functions of the concentration, then the concentration profile in the bed of an open channel can be obtained by integrating a first order differential equation and the velocity profile obtained by carrying out a further integration. A method of obtaining the local equations is developed using previous results from a theory of a gas of rigid elastic spheres. Using these results and an equation derived from the calculated energy dissipation, local equations are developed. Results obtained theoretically are compared with previous experimental results and also with the results obtained using an open channel with a bed of gravel particles. A significant discrepancy between the results predicted by the theory developed and the results found by experiment was observed at high concentrations.

I've always fancied myself to be a creative person. A reader from a young age, I wrote my first "novel" in the fifth grade. I won prizes for my short stories in high school. I went to graduate school for creative writing, and I write for a living today.
For a long time, though, writing was something I had to do—as Maya Angelou once said, "There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside of you."—but it wasn't necessarily something I enjoyed.
You see, I bought into the myth of the suffering artist. I thought great art could only come from a place of pain. I identified heavily with Hemingway when he said, "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
I conveniently forgot that Hemingway killed himself, which is the most destructive act anyone can ever achieve.
Suffering for my art took the form of bulimia and depression. Writing was less about connecting with the world around me as it was expressing my inner turmoil. I was miserable, and lonely, and angry, and I wanted readers to understand what I was feeling—if only in a fictional context.
I was too fearful, of course, to confide in anyone about my actual suffering. I was too ashamed of my eating disorder, too ashamed of my loneliness, and too proud of my misery (another Hemingway quote comes to mind to explain this bizarre pride: "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.") to let anyone see any of it.
I hugged it to myself. I petted it. I fed it and let it grow.
And I thought it would make me a great writer. The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care, right?
What I didn't realize is that great art doesn't come from the self-centered place of focusing on your own need to be known and understood. It comes from unselfishly sharing yourself so that others might better understand themselves and the world.
After coming into recovery for my food addiction, I rediscovered Catholicism. There is a misconception that the Catholic Church teaches that all suffering is worthwhile and good.
Suffering in and of itself is not what's good; it's the empathy it gives us with our fellow human beings, the reliance on God that it inspires, and our willingness—like Christ—to "offer up" our pain to help other people that makes our inevitable suffering worthwhile.
Bringing suffering upon ourselves, as I did, with the idea that we—or our art—will benefit from it misses the mark. This is selfish suffering, the kind that produces neither endurance nor character nor hope. Instead, it isolates us from God and other people, leaving us bitter and hardening our hearts.
The longer I hugged my eating disorder to myself—the worse it got and the more I suffered from it—the more insular, and the less creative, my writing became.
Since coming into recovery for my eating disorder more than 11 years ago, there have certainly been times when I've suffered through no fault of my own. The worst of these, of course, was my husband's psychotic break.
And while that suffering has undeniably given me more empathy, a closer relationship with my Higher Power, and a true desire to help others, it has also shown me that great art doesn't come from a place of pain.
It springs, rather, from the seeds of hope.

Architects: Kengo Kuma & Associates, Tokyo
Location: Minami Aoyama 3-10-20, Tokyo, Japan
The new shop operated by Sunny Hills, a Taiwanese bakery that specialises in pineapple cake, is located in the heart of a residential district just a few blocks away from downtown Tokyo. In coming up with the design, architect Kengo Kuma deliberately discarded the idea of an austere-looking concrete skin in favour of warmth-emanating wood. In this he made use of Japanese or hinoki cypress, a widespread species in the country and a popular traditional building material in Japan.
As in the case of sculptures by the artist Tadashi Kawamata, the outer skin of the Sunny Hills shop is formed out of interlocking wooden sticks. This system is based on Jiigoku Gumi, a customary method in Japanese wood architecture in which two superimposed layers are tightly fixed together by a third layer.
The narrow slats, which are a mere 60 mm thick, are arranged at 30° and 60° angles rather than at the more conventional angle of 90°. They thus form hundreds of diamond-shaped recesses in the ceiling and walls, which were assembled by local Japanese craftsmen.

Your blood represents 8% of your body weight
According to the American Hematology Association, on average the weight of your total blood volume is about 8% of your body weight. The average adult with a total weight of 68 – 81 kg has about 4.5 to 5.6 liters of blood inside it.
There are about 0.2 mg of gold in your body, with the highest percentage being in your blood
If you did not know it, the human body contains a small amount of gold. Very small. On average, it contains 0.2 mg of gold, mainly dissolved in the blood. To make a souvenir weighing only 8 grams of pure gold, you would need the blood of 40,000 people!
Coconut water can (in extraordinary circumstances) be used as a substitute for your blood plasma
Coconut water is better known as recreational sports drink, due to the moisturizing electrolytes it contains. The belief that it can be used as a substitute for blood plasma stems from the fact that coconut water has the same properties as human plasma, provided it can be safely injected directly into the bloodstream.
Pregnant women have about 50% more blood in the 20th week of pregnancy than they had before conceiving a child
During pregnancy, the woman's blood volume increases by 50% to properly support uterine function, along with the amount of blood drawn from the heart. This extra volume is necessary to supply blood to the uterus and the placenta. By the end of pregnancy, the uterus will receive 1/5 of the blood that the woman had before she became pregnant.

New ROS therapeutic targets in breast cancer progression
Tumor cells are characterized by increased reactive oxidative species (ROS) that facilitates cancer progression. Also in breast cancer, which is one of the leading causes of women mortality worldwide, ROS levels are high. These high ROS levels in cancer cells are dynamically outbalanced by up-regulated anti-oxidant systems, among which peroxiredoxins (Prx) are the most important. Prx act by transducing redox signals to other proteins, like in the case of the transcription regulator STAT3 (Sobotta et al., 2015). STAT3 is aberrantly activated in numerous cancer cells (including breast cancer), but its redox regulation mechanism has never been addressed. The aim of this project is to decipher the redox-regulated protein-protein interactions in the macromolecular Prx-STAT3 complex and to identify new Prx targets in breast cancer cells (Messens lab). The role of redox-sensitive cysteines of STAT3 as well as the new Prx targets will be characterized during breast cancer progression using in vivo redox tools and genetic mice models (Santoro lab). By combining the specific expertise of both labs, in vitro redox structural biology with in vivo testing in genetic breast cancer mice models, we are confident that we will contribute to the cancer field. Together with a passionate student, we would like to identify new key players in tumor progression, understand their redox-dependent regulation and use this information to develop new and innovative therapies to block breast cancer progression and metastasis.

Proposed revisions to the Employee Policy Manual were discussed and certified staff contracts for 2017-18 were approved by the Neenah Joint School District Board of Education at its May 2 meeting.
The Employee Policy Manual changes were developed over the past year by a committee comprised of 20 employees that encompassed all three employee groups (certified, non-certified and administrator). A final vote on the proposals will take place at the next meeting on May 16.
For employees with at least 10 years of service who choose to use a second personal day, the day will still be deducted from the employee's sick leave, but will not affect the opportunity to earn perfect attendance, according to the proposal. Changes were also made to revise language to reflect implementation of the new health insurance that was adopted on Jan. 1, 2017. The revisions simply update the changes that occurred when the new health plan began.
Currently, the District provides reimbursement for tuition of $150 per credit. New language emphasizes that the District will provide additional compensation for credits earned in areas difficult to find qualified candidates with those degrees. The proposed changes extend the window of the Board's commitment to the Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) another year to June 30, 2019. The hope is that employees are assured there will be no changes to OPEB for a rolling two-year period. In addition, the consortium rate of pay for NJSD summer school will be provided only to District certified staff. Non-certified staff members are not eligible for the consortium rate even if they are licensed teachers.
The Board approved certified staff contracts for 2017-18 and extended administrator contracts through 2018-19. In other personnel decisions, Nicole Lang was hired as a speech and language teacher at Tullar and Elizabeth Stebnitz was tabbed as an EBD teacher at Shattuck. Resignations were approved for Taft teachers Stephanie Cull and Kendra Schmitz, Tullar and Coolidge counselor Kristin Wegner, Washington speech and language pathologist Karen Julian and high school teacher Lowrie Leahy, all effective June 2. Leaves of absence were approved for Horace Mann staff members Angela Lee and Pamela Seifert Green.
Board officers for 2017-18 were voted upon. Michelle Swardenski will remain president, Jean Maurice Boyer will retain his vice-president role and Christopher Kunz will stay at treasurer. Betsy Ellenberger will take over as clerk and Diane Haug will remain secretary.
Also, the boys and girls powerlifting teams and Special Olympics basketball teams were honored for their state championship and runner-up finishes. Board scholarship recipients, Marissa Hart and Talaysha Kuss, were recognized as well.

, NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 20 – The Kenya Meteorological Department forecasts that the annual long rains will start this coming week.
The Director of Meteorological Services Joseph Mukabana said the rains that have started in parts of Meru, Nyeri, Embu, Narok, Marsabit, Kitale, Garissa, Voi and Mandera will pick up during the week.
"This will mark the proper onset of the March-April-May 2010 Long-Rains season," Mr Mukabana said in a statement on Saturday.
The rains that started in late February had confused farmers coming at a time when most of them had not harvested last season's maize. A section of the farmers have started planting for the next season.
In his forecast Mr Mukabana said that parts of Laikipia, Isiolo, north-western Mandera and extending to parts of north-eastern Moyale are expected to experience above normal rainfall.
The seven-day rainfall totals in some of these areas are projected to be about 100mm
"This is quite intense for these semi-arid zones and close monitoring is important," he said.
This intense rainfall he said may lead to enhanced surface runoff and potential flash floods.
This warning comes barely weeks after another series of torrential rains and floods in more than 15 districts in Kenya from December 2009 led to the deaths of 24 people and left massive destruction of houses, household property, infrastructure and farmlands.
The Kenya Red Cross Society predicted that more than 6,000 livestock were killed by the raging floods that have affected some 70,000 people among them 30,000 who required urgent humanitarian assistance.
The Meteorological Department had however predicated El Nino rains would commence with the onset of the short rains that started last October and urged the government to prepare for its consequences.
Samburu and other parts of Northern Kenya were submerged by floods earlier in the month leading to the closure of a number of lodges.
This month's forecast however assures that water levels at River Nzoia, which is vulnerable to flooding, are still relatively low.
"Alert or warning level is when the River flow level is 2.8m above the reference datum while a flood level is attained when the flow level reaches 3.5m above the reference datum. Currently, the water level is at 0.7m above the reference datum," says the statement.

Classroom of the Earth (COE)
There's nothing like the original! Our Classroom of the Earth (COE) program was groundbreaking 25 years ago, and there's still nothing quite like it anywhere else!The wilderness gets wilder as our students get older, and each trip builds skills to tackle the next one. Nature hikes on the school's campus in PreK give way to the 8th grade ten-day adventure in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. During their years at Good Shepherd, our students will have hiked over 50 miles, traveled over 5,000 miles, canoed 10 miles, and rafted 11 miles, and experienced much more than nature study. This is real-world education going beyond the walls of our everyday lives.
Students experience a challenging and inspiring self-discovery out in the wilderness, and you'll be amazed at the places they go and the growth as they venture out of their comfort zones!
In all our COE programming, we teach and follow the 7 principles of Leave No Trace (LNT):
- Plan Ahead and Prepare
- Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
- Dispose of Waste Properly
- Leave What You Find
- Minimize Campfire Impacts
- Respect Wildlife
- Be Considerate of Other Visitors

text: Hi everyone I am new here, so sorry if I am doing something wrong; just let me know! I would love some insight as to what camera bag to get. I will be leaving the country for several years (but travelling with nothing but a backpack and a suitcase), and plan on doing many weekend excursions as well as week long excursions. My equipment is as follows: Canon t2i Canon 24-105 F4 IS Canon 50mm F1.8 Canon 70-200 F2.8 I am looking for a camera bag. As far as I know, I am looking for something with these requirements: 1. Can be brought as a carry-on 2. Waterproof or has waterproof net 3. would be nice to have add. sd card compartment, room for charger, 11 or 13 inch laptop (purchasing this based on bag), and other accessories. 4. strap for a small tripod. What I am really concerned with is whether to get a large bag that has two compartments: one for clothes, and one for camera equipment, or to get a bag for each purpose (trekking bag + a smaller camera bag). Insight + suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! RichieTang

In the wake of the legionella outbreaks earlier this year, the Health and Safety Executive has released important information for users and suppliers of water treatment systems.
From 1 February 2013 it will be illegal to sell or use water treatment systems that use elemental copper in order to add copper ions to water as a biocide.
It will also be illegal to supply the copper needed for their use. Action has been taken at an EU level under the Biocidal Products Directive, because no manufacturer supported the use of elemental copper for use as biocides in these systems during a review period that ended in September 2011.
Along with this information, HSE have also produced a simple FAQ document which aims to answer any questions installers have about legionella, the control of legionella and monitoring systems.
APHC PR and marketing manager Charlotte Murray said: "We would like to direct all installers who use water treatment systems to this new information from the HSE.
"We have received queries from concerned members about legionella control and monitoring systems so this information is a welcome development.
Readers' comments (1)
This is a hugely misleading article! The cases of Legionella earlier in the year had nothing to do with Copper Ionization. To make a link between the two is untrue and unfair. The HSE are banning Copper Ionization 'because no manufacturer supported the use of elemental copper', not because it has failed to control Legionella and there is a safety concern.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Emily Allen registered a match-best 20 kills and Maddie Merlino posted 31 assists and a match-high tying 21 digs to help UC Davis rally from a set down to post a 25-18, 20-25, 21-25, 25-15, 15-13 victory over Santa Clara volleyball on Saturday night.
Michelle Shaffer had a double-double with 16 kills and 15 digs for the Broncos (4-5) in the final contest of the three-day Santa Clara Invitational.
After Santa Clara battled to take the second and third sets, the Aggies used an 8-1 run behind a pair of kills each from Allen and Lauren Jackson to build an 18-9 lead in the fourth set. The Broncos were unable to get closer than seven the remainder of the way.
In the fifth set, an Allison Kantor kill, one of a season-best 13 in the match, gave the Broncos a 7-3 edge, but UCD proceeded to scored nine of next 10 points by taking advantage of five attack errors.
The Broncos closed within one point three times. They cut the deficit to 12-11, but Brianna Karsseboom answered with one of her eight kills. An attack error enabled Santa Clara to pull within 14-13, but a combo block from Jackson and Nicola Moore ended the match.
SET 2 | Solid effort both offensively and defensively for #SCUBroncos to take set 25-20 and even the match with @ucdvolleyball at 1-all. Here's the set clincher. #StampedeTogether pic.twitter.com/ZfRMz9HnY9— Santa Clara Volleyball (@scuvolleyball) September 9, 2018
"We have to get smoother offensively," Santa Clara head coach Jon Wallace said. "With our hustle and responsibility, I think we're doing a great job. We have to get smoother on our sideout game."
After downing an undefeated Boise State 3-1 on Friday evening, UC Davis started strong, hitting .486 in the opening set led by Allen (six kills) and Merlino (nine digs and 14 assists).
The Broncos got their footing in the next two sets, posting an attack percentage of .237 and .243, respectively, while forcing a total of 16 errors after the Aggies had only one in the opening set.
Malia Bolko had 21 digs for the Aggies. Allen, who was named the tournament MVP, chipped in six digs.
The Broncos were upended by Boise State, 3-0, on Thursday in the tournament opener.

"I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay," Lambert says in the new issue of Rolling Stone, hitting newsstands this week. (Click here to check out exclusive video of his cover shoot).
The flamboyant Idol singer hits our cover and bares all, talking about his childhood ("I started to realize I wasn't like every other boy," he says), the drug-fueled Burning Man epiphany that led him to AI ("I realized that we all have our own power, and that whatever I wanted to do, I had to make happen," he tells RS) and his run on the show ("I was like, 'I'm going to glue rhinestones on my eyelids, bitch!' "). And yes, he talks about his sexuality. "Right after the finale, I almost started talking about it to the reporters, but I thought, 'I'm going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler,' " he tells us. "I didn't want the Clay Aiken thing and the celebrity-magazine bullshit. I need to be able to explain myself in context.
"I'm proud of my sexuality," Lambert adds. "I embrace it. It's just another part of me." Ultimately, however Lambert tells RS contributor Vanessa Grigoriadis that there are other parts of his life that he's trying to keep front and center. "I'm trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader," he says.
It was that mission — and his Burning Man "psychedelic experience" — that lead him to Idol after years in musical theater. "I knew that it was my only shot to be taken seriously in the recording industry, because it's fast and broad," he tells RS. (See photos of Lambert's remarkable American Idol run here.)
He details his experience on Idol, his true thoughts on winner Kris Allen and how his sexuality impacted his Idol run in our cover story, "Wild Idol: The Psychedelic Transformation and Sexual Liberation of Adam Lambert," which hits newsstands this week.
Some excerpts from the interview:
"Right after the finale, I almost started talking about it to the reporters, but I thought, 'I'm going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler.'
"They put me with the cute guy. Distracting! He's the one guy I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type — except that he has a wife. I mean he's open-minded and liberal, but he's definitely 100% straight."
"I loved it this season when the girls went crazy for me," he says. "As far as I'm concerned, it's all hot."
"I'm trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader."

Greece has been very high on my travel TODO list for long, but have never found the time to go visit. I've recently concluded two years of living in Europe and then had to move back to Asia and realized that I might have spent all that time in Europe but not visit Greece. I couldn't accept that, so the last destination before leaving Europe was a tour around Greece, starting from Athens, and then doing the Delphi, Patras, Olympia, Mystra/Sparta, Nafpion, Mycenae, and Corinth circle through the Peloponnese islands. It was quite the trip.
To continue the trip that started in Athens, here's the photo summary from Olympia, Mystras, and Delhi…

More Than 100 Bayer-owned Glyphosate Safety Study Reports Accessible as Monsanto Integration Continues
Bayer welcomes a science-based discussion with regulators around the globe, the international research community, as well as with consumers on the safety profile of glyphosate. To that end, all 107 Bayer-owned glyphosate safety study reports that were submitted to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as part of the substance authorization process in the European Union (EU) are now accessible on Bayer's dedicated transparency platform, according to a news release on Bayer.com. In doing so, the company delivers on its commitment to more transparency, including its crop protection safety studies following the acquisition of Monsanto. Many of these and other similar studies were submitted to and evaluated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during its own risk assessment of glyphosate.
"Transparency is a catalyst for trust, so more transparency is a good thing for consumers, policymakers and businesses. As an innovation company, safety is our top priority and we are completely committed to doing everything we can to ensure that our products are safe for people and the environment," said Liam Condon, member of the Board of Management of Bayer AG and president of the Crop Science Division. "By making our detailed scientific safety data available, we encourage anyone interested to see for themselves how comprehensive our approach to safety is. We embrace the opportunity to engage in dialogue so we can build more trust in sound science."

Hey guys,
Hope everyone had the merriest Christmas possible filled with love and yummy baked goods.
Ive been home from uni full time now since the 18th.. really its felt like an eternity. Im on full time mom care now which is an honour but very draining.
Shes in her end stages of this terrible battle and becoming more dependent each day. She cant walk without us supporting her, even though she stubbornly insists. She cant change or wash herself etc.
Again, Im honoured to be able to help her through these moments. But that being said, Im absolutely exhausted. The kind of exhausted that no amount of sleep will fix.
I dont think I know how to care for myself right now because when I do get a moment away from mom, I just want to lay down in the dark. I should be keeping up my gym routine or music or crafting but Im just so exhausted I cant.
I dont know if this is part and parcel and just something Ill have to grit and bear for the time being or if I should be trying harder or what.
Ive had a headache for weeks.. and I know that pails in comparison to what my poor mother is going through but all of these feelings combined makes caring for her extremely difficult as well.
Dad obviously helps too but were both drained beyond words at this point.
Sorry to be whining. Im just tired and looking for advice.

60 Vegetarian Capsules (VCaps®)
Pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P5P) is the activated form of vitamin B6. Standard vitamin B6 supplements such as pyridoxine hydrochloride must be converted to P5P by the liver in order to be effective. In contrast, supplementing with P5P ensures the most bioactive form of vitamin B6 is supplied.
- Within the central nervous system vitamin B6 assists synthesis of neurotransmitters. This includes the formation of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA). Due to the central role in neurotransmitter synthesis P5P helps maintain nervous system function. P5P may support emotional wellbeing, and relief of symptoms of stress and mild anxiety.
- Vitamin B6 is involved in red blood cell production and may assist haemoglobin synthesis. Haemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues and organs in the body and carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs. Testing for haemoglobin is used to check for conditions such as anaemia.
- P5P helps reduce homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is an amino acid produced via demethylation of dietary methionine, which is abundant in animal protein. In the presence of sufficient methionine, homocysteine is converted to cysteine through the sequential action of two P5P-dependent enzymes known as cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE). Studies show raised blood levels of homocysteine is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
- Vitamin B6 may relieve morning sickness.
- Vitamin B6 may relieve symptoms of premenstrual tension.
Each vegetarian capsule contains:
Pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P5P) 39.18mg
Equivalent pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) 25mg
Excipient ingredients
Microcrystalline cellulose, colloidal anhydrous silica and magnesium stearate.
Contains no gluten, soy, dairy, yeast, wheat, animal products, artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives.
Adults: Take 1 capsule once to twice daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist, talk to your healthcare professional.
Not all cautions and contraindications are listed. For full details, references or more information click here to email MD Nutritionals technical support.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A terrorism investigation has been opened into a man who was caught near Buckingham Palace in possession of a large knife, the London Metropolitan Police said early on Saturday.
"Detectives from the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command are now investigating the incident which occurred near Buckingham Palace on the evening of Friday, 25 August," the statement read.
Two police officers suffered minor injuries to their arm as they wrestled the suspect out of his car. The man was slightly injured and was taken to a London hospital for treatment.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) reversed a former President Barack Obama-era policy Thursday, that held employers responsible for violations committed by their subcontractors.
The Republican controlled panel voted 3-2 to overturn a 2015 decision known as Browning-Ferris, stating a company was considered to be a "joint-employer" with their subcontractors, according to The Hill.
NLRB released a statement saying in all future cases, two or more parties will be considered "joint employers" if one party has direct control over the other party's employment terms, The Hill reports.
The board called the Browning-Ferris ruling a "distortion of common law," that created instability between labor and management, and restricted the NLRB from doing their job.
The NLRB became GOP controlled for the first time in a decade this past November, after the Senate confirmed President Donald Trump's nominee William Emanuel. The Senate approve the former attorney by a 49-47 party-line vote.

It was good news again at last week's hospital appointment in the haematology clinic. There's no significant difference in my blood tests from two months ago and the consultant wasn't able to find any noticeable change in the size or the extent of my enlarged lymph nodes.
In simple terms, that means I have at least another couple of months on watch and wait – excellent news. However, I'm all too well aware that this seemingly indolent phase won't last forever. But the positive-thinking part of me particularly likes the idea that it could be years, rather than months, before anything other than watch and wait is needed.
The type of treatment for younger, fit patients like me hasn't changed since I was first diagnosed last summer, although there does seem to be lots of new research being published all of the time, as well as excitement around the potential impact of new (but very costly) drugs like Ibrutinib. This is currently being used when chemotherapy fails or when the disease relapses, but there's some interesting speculation that this type of drug could eventually prove to be the best treatment option. That promise is some way off being realised, so at the moment I'm still expecting to undergo the Nordic MCL2 regime – eventually.
This involves six doses of chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant. How can I put this? I'm not looking forward to it. If my lymphoma beast is listening, I'm in no hurry to start the treatment that will send you into oblivion. If you'd like to stay as quiet and unobtrusive as you are at the moment for – let's say – the next 50 or so years, I'd be happy to share my body with you. But I know that you're not going to accept that offer – in much the same way that I don't expect Labour and the Conservatives to be snuggling up in some kind of grand coalition after May 7th. I'm under no illusions that me and the lymphoma beast are simply skirmishing at the moment, sizing each other up, before the real hostilities start.
At least the tone of the medical literature published in the last year or so seems much more encouraging than papers from as little as 5-10 years ago. While the literature still points out that treatment is difficult and suffers from a "lack of standardisation" (which I translate as "more research is needed"), overall survival time is undoubtedly improving.
The most interesting paper on MCL that I've read recently is this one: "Real world data on primary treatment for mantle cell lymphoma: a Nordic Lymphoma Group observational study", published last year. Rather than being a clinical trial, it examines data from all of the patients in Sweden and Denmark diagnosed with MCL in the first decade or so of the current century – just under 1,400 people in total. Without wanting to cherry-pick too much, the most encouraging paragraph was:
Treatment options of MCL have undergone a dramatic development during the last 2 decades. High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell support, high-dose cytarabine, and the introduction of rituximab are important contributors to improved clinical outcome in MCL evolving it into a potentially curable disease, at least for the younger subset of patients.
Encouraging for me, as the 'younger' subset of patients in the context of MCL are those under 65-70!
So for the time being, the "phoney war" goes on. And when the real fighting starts, it looks as if the ammunition will be rather more effective than it used to be even in the very recent past.

It's no secret that traditional service marketing is seeing diminishing returns, has become fragmented, and is difficult to track. We continue to use tactics that may have worked 15 years ago while often missing opportunities made possible by innovative technology—and demanded by the way our customers digest media today.
Take artificial intelligence (AI), for example. Artificial intelligence has proven its ability in many industries to increase engagement, lower outbound marketing costs, and cut through the clutter of today's marketing noise.
Look in the mirror and consider your strategy and beliefs when it comes to customers. Ask yourself, "Am I personally tired of being marketed to?" If you're not sure of the answer, think about what you do each time you go to the mailbox and sort the pretty pieces of direct mail, or when you turn on the TV and subconsciously tune out the commercials.
Like you, more and more consumers are turning to DVRs, streaming media, and subscription radio to choose their own level of exposure to marketing and advertising.
Don't get me wrong—there is still a place for these mediums. But the trend toward more personalized marketing is undeniable.
Understandably, given the sheer volume of service records, it's been nearly impossible to engage customers in a personal, one-on-one manner with the right message at the right time. Hence the use of mass media as a crutch, or a "Hail Mary."
Therein lies the beauty of high-impact technology such as AI and machine learning: Its ability to scale and repeat in a highly personalized way—at a much lower cost and with measurable, trackable results.
For example, leveraging an AI email platform gives you the ability to engage with (have a genuine two-way conversation) up to 40% of your sales and service customers. This is vastly more than with traditional methods, and will increase as your staff understands AI's benefits and collects more viable email addresses.
Compare that 40% with the 1% to 2% return on direct mail or the typical open rate of 20% on mass email campaigns and the answer is simple: Engagement is king—the only way to effectively build retention and increase customer satisfaction.
The challenge is even greater on mobile devices, which most consumers now use to open and read emails, then sort them like their physical mailboxes. With one glance, they can instantly identify a marketing email versus a personal message, and act accordingly.
But with AI, the message is perceived as being personal and hand-typed by an actual dealership employee. It is relevant and polite, which delights consumers, who in most cases have never received personal outreach from a service department.
The CSI implications are immense: When you prioritize engagement over marketing, you are starting the one-on-one experience with your customers before they set foot in your service drive.
With an engagement strategy, you greatly mitigate the need to use marketing expenditure as a Hail Mary to reach customers. In most cases, you can cut your budget in half, yet see better results.
And although you still need to pursue customers who don't have an email on file with traditional snail mail, overall, your budget requirements will decrease significantly. In many cases, the reduction in budget can be reallocated to conquests to add new customers into your service funnel.
A great artificial intelligence service engagement solution helps in many ways. It:
- Deploys in a plug-and-play manner (your staff is involved only when an alert is received).
- Tirelessly works your DMS one record at a time to find each life-cycle trigger point.
- Sends the right personal message at the right time.
- Reads the response from the engaged customer and responds accordingly, without human interaction.
- Serves up a link to your service scheduler after reading that your customer is ready to schedule service, eliminating the time it would take your staff to reach out.
- Sends an email or text alert to your staff if further information or human interaction is required.
- Follows up on each alert with customers to make sure they were attended to in a satisfactory manner. If not, an alert is sent to management.
- Behaves as a human so your customer never knows that AI is on the other end of the email.
- Provides analytics that show the sentiment of every customer, how many have engaged by source, how many have fallen through the cracks, and gives a report card of each employee's satisfaction rating in conveying information back to customers.
- Exports a CSV to your traditional marketing company, including customer records that lack a viable email or did not engage through the platform to direct that Hail Mary crack at them.
The AI service assistant can initiate and complete a wide variety of conversations with customers:
- First service visit
- Next service visit
- Service abandonment
- Telematics notifications
- Pre-CSI
- Declined services
- Trade cycle or out of warranty
- Follow up on alerts
The use of artificial intelligence is expected to grow by 93.83% in 2017, according to Statista 2016. We use AI on our phones, in apps, at home, and within vehicles.
It's here to stay, and for good reason: It increases productivity and is extremely cost-effective to use. And best of all, in this application, it leads to a superior customer experience.
I challenge you to mystery-shop your own service department with a simple service request and evaluate the following:
- Did the service department receive the request?
- Where did the request end up? In a DMS, CRM, or just an inbox?
- Was the request followed up on, and how long did it take?
- Were the service request questions answered?
- Was the response personal or canned?
- Were there multiple follow-ups?
- Was there a call to engage or need for a response from your hypothetical customer?
If your results are less than ideal, fear not: Most of your competition has the same problem.
The good news? Artificial intelligence has the power to automate this area of weakness, and solve the age-old problem of retention and engagement.

My prince announced Sunday that he was far enough along on his RCIA presentation that we could have our date the next day (Valentine's Day). It was my turn to plan the date. Think fast :)!
Fortunately I had a few things up my sleeve for future reference. I just didn't know I'd need them quite so soon ;)! I'd been keeping my eye open for Valentine do-dads for a while, but hadn't found much 'till the previous Friday.
One find was a cute pair of stuffed kitties on a heart pillow at St. Vincent de Paul. I wasn't planning to buy them, but my prince just had to see them–paired kitties have been one of our symbols since before we were married:
We couldn't have kitties when we were first married (no pets allowed in the apartment), so for years we had a running call & response: "I want a kitty!" "Two kitties." It degenerated into "M-ow!" "M-ow m-ow!"
Anyway, when I did show my prince the stuffed kitties, he asked "How much are they?" & looked at the tag:$2. "Get them." So we did.
I started Valentine's Day itself with these in my prince's lunch box.
My prince can't have the m&ms that came in the heart container, so I replaced them with roasted almonds–his favorite treat :). I printed the Valentine (free) from here: vintage Valentines.
Then I found instructions for folding a napkin into a heart and got busy in the kitchen.
I put a red tablecloth on the table, folded the napkins and turned our place mats to the "hearts" side. For a centerpiece, I got out the pair of kitties from St. Vincent de Paul, added a little doily I'd netted (needlework technique), a kitty candle holder with a red votive, paper rose petals I cut from scrap paper & a red paper rose I printed & constructed (free–this site is amazing!).
With the table ready, I made more of my prince's wheat-free bread (shaping it as rolls this time) & margarine, raisin cakes, applesauce (dried apples & apple juice through the blender) & mashed potatoes. I dished out corn (his favorite vegetable) & got steak ready to broil (nothing says "special occasion" to my prince better than steak & I found these on sale a few weeks ago!).
While I waited for my various cooking projects to rise/bake/etc., I put the finishing touches on another project I had underway–a "romance box," in which I put candles, couple's games, sidewalk chalk & various other things I thought might be nice for a romantic occasion (the paper rose petals will go there when I change the table decorations). I'd seen the idea a while ago (maybe from the Generous Wife?) & finally made my own. I considered decorating the outside of the box, but the supplies I had didn't lend themselves to it…and it is a nice color…
Oh yes–sidewalk chalk! The recent melting had left a few squares of the sidewalk clear & dry at last–I popped outside & took advantage of that.
When my prince actually arrived, I put the mashed potatoes into a sparkly red heart-shaped bowl (one of my "finds" at Target!), added a heart pick & turned on the broiler. You can see the "conversation cubes" at his place–they read (feelings cubes): "satisfied, tired, in pain (headache)," (needs cubes): "rest, companionship".
My prince had eaten his lunch on the way home (students came in for tutoring at lunch time, so he didn't eat then–that's pretty common), so he wasn't all that hungry when he arrived. He did justice to the steak ;), but didn't really have room yet for the rolls or raisin cakes.
After supper I led my prince to our room to show him the romance box. Since we were both pretty tired by then, we simply retired to the bed to flop & cuddle a bit, making happy, sleepy little noises to each other (mrphs & such). It was icy in there (happens when I have the oven on & the furnace doesn't kick in for a while), so I closed all the other registers & turned up the furnace. When it got warm, I got up to turn it down & bring in the raisin cakes & applesauce on little heart-shaped plates (also from Target). That's a kitty-handled hors d'oeuvres spreader in the applesauce. My prince ended up eating his raisin cake & applesauce using the little heart pick like a spoon! By then he had room for a roll, so he tried one of those too. Then we went back to lounging.
It was a good way to enjoy a special occasion with little to no energy!

Yes, that's right. Call off work, become alone, block out all sunlight, and inhale very hard, because it is that special time of the year when the radiator lets out its private stink. Wonderful!
Throw your computer and family into the yard to get rid of distractions. The smell is here!
Belt up your pants and comb your hair! Don your biggest tuxedo! You want to be looking your best when the radiator smell comes to fill your nose and face.
Flap your hands excitedly for the beautiful stink!
Mmm-mmmmm. What a lovely aroma your radiator has made! Bring your face close to the metal grates and feel the hot, gassy air hurt your nostrils and scorch your eyes in the way you love so much.
The radiator smell reminds you of so many cherished childhood memories, such as the smell of your grandfather's windbreaker melting as he stood too close to the grill and caught fire.
Once you get one whiff of the smell, you cannot stop sniffing it!
Draw near to this tiny pipe organ of fire and breathe of it until you are fevered and screwy!
In some cultures, the radiator smell is a sign of good fortune, and when you smell it you are supposed to make a wish upon a valuable coin. How foolish!
Raise the heat so that it's 120 degrees in your house. That way, the smell will just keep coming and coming and coming. Yes, please!
When the radiator is making its smell, you know that Christmas could happen at any time.
Rattle-rattle, clang-clang! The radiator makes a loud sound to attract toddlers and elderly people who might not know to come close and partake in the marvelous stink!
No! This has no place here. It is radiator season.
How can one not be content when sitting on the floor next to the radiator, inhaling the hot smell and hearing the faint, suction-cup-like noise of one's bone-dry eyelids attempting to blink? It is the ultimate luxury!
As Christians know, God is as fair as he is strong, and he gives us radiator smell every year as a way to say sorry for making weather cold and killing all the stray dogs. So you see, the smell you are smelling is indeed the smell of heaven.
God is our king.
Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to know a terrific fact? Okay, here it is: The smell of the radiator would be a nice thing to smell when you are dying!
Or you can just smell it now and pretend you are dying.
Wow, wow, wow! When you are smelling the smell, it is truly a banquet for your face. How about it? Everybody, give it up for the radiator and its fabulous smell!

Answers to Your Questions
Can I pick where my car is towed?
Yes. This is something that most people don't realize, especially if they've been in an accident. Law enforcement will many times use what's called a rotation wrecker to find the next towing company in Grand Rapids on the list. You always have the choice, and if you choose Towing Grand Rapids MI you can chose locally or long distance.
Can I ride with my car when it's towed?
Well you won't be able to ride "in" the car due to safety reasons, but you will be able to ride in the tow truck. Our trucks can hold an extra 2-3 people depending on the truck. If you have a whole family just let our dispatcher know and we'll see what we can work out. We won't leave you stranded on the side of the road if that's what you're asking.
If you're just a towing company, why does customer service matter so much?
We were actually asked this question just the other day. The customer thought companies like "us" don't believe in true customer service and was shocked by how courteous and respectful we were to them and their car. The short answer is, because it's how we would like to be treated if in the same situation, and believe me, we've been there too.
Is there a risk of damage when loading or towing my vehicle?
No, we go through great lengths to make sure you're vehicle is not damaged. Our high-end equipment and knowledgeable technicians have what it takes to safely and securely load and tow your vehicle.

"Was on my way to work when I got a flat and it wasn't like I had the time to be stranded on the side of the road. It's something that most of us don't think about until it's too late, but I had no jack or lug wrench. When I called Towing Grand Rapids MI the woman gave me a 30 minute ETA, and let me tell you, the tow truck was there and had my tire changed in under 30 minutes." I was amazed!

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Mar 31:
There is good news for film makers in Odisha. The draft Industrial Policy prepared by the state government proposes to exempt all Odia feature films produced in Odisha from Entertainment Tax and provid additional fiscal and non-fiscal incentives.
Odisha Film Development Corporation (OFDC) shall formulate a scheme for extending soft loan assistance to Odia films at a nominal rate of interest subject to maximum ceiling limit and on conditions as may be decided by OFDC to producers of films in the State, the darft policy says.
Producers of films who utilize the facilities of Kalinga Studio Limited (KSL), Film & Television Institute of Odisha and Kalinga Prasad Colour Processing Laboratory will be eligible to get incentives in the shape of subsidy subject to the ceiling limit and terms and conditions as may be laid down by OFDC, the draft policy says.
For revival of KSL, the state government would spend Rs 1 crore. In addition to this, Rs 80 lakh will be provided as government assistance for film making, Rs 30 lakh for children's film making, Rs 25 lakh to OFDC as grant and Rs 14.98 lakh for refund of entertainment tax to the cinema halls in the state.
