MANSFIELD, Mass. – Graduate students Jake Walkinshaw (Seymour, Conn.) of the Southern New Hampshire University baseball team and Tiago Fernandes (Porto, Portugal) of men's tennis team were selected as their sport's Northeast-10 Spring Sport Excellence Award winners, the conference office announced Tuesday afternoon.
Walkinshaw, who finished his sport management degree with a 3.88 GPA and wrapped up his MBA this year with a perfect 4.0, turned in a stellar season that saw him collect Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) East All-Region First Team, American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) East All-Region Second Team, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) East All-Region Second Team, NE10 All-Conference First Team, Google Cloud Academic All-District and NE10 Academic All-Conference accolades. In 15 appearances, including 14 starts, Walkinshaw went 7-2 with a 2.01 ERA, allowing just 78 hits, while striking out 102 and walking 31, in 98-and-two-thirds innings. Walkinshaw, who held batters to a .218 average against him, went the distance twice and limited opponents to two runs or less in 10 starts. Walkinshaw led the league in innings pitched and strikeouts, while ranking second in wins, seventh in ERA and 11th in strikeouts per game (9.30). He was named the NE10 Pitcher of the Week on four occasions this season, while no other pitcher in the league won the award more than once. Walkinshaw finished second in innings and fifth in strikeouts in the program's single-season record book. Walkinshaw, who captures the third NE10 Academic All-Conference honor of his career, was drafted by Major League Baseball's Oakland Athletics in the 36th round earlier this month.
Fernandes, a business administration major with a 3.96 GPA, who finished his pursuit of his MBA with a perfect 4.0 GPA, earns the honor for the third straight season. Fernandes was named the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) East Region Senior Player of the Year, Northeast-10 Player of the Year (for the third straight season), an NE10 All-Conference First Team selection (for the fourth time), an NE10 Man of the Year finalist, a Google Cloud Academic All-America and All-District Men's At-Large Team honoree (for the second consecutive year) and an NE10 Academic All-Conference pick (for the third year-in-a-row). Fernandes finished the season 21-5, overall in singles play, including 17-4 at the top flight and a perfect 9-0 in league play. SNHU's all-time singles wins leader at 80, Fernandes won 14 of his last 16 matches, and fell just three wins shy of matching the single-season program record of 24 victories that he set a year ago.

Epilouge was established in 2004 by Eva Emanuelsen, the brands founder and head designer. Epilogue has a ready to wear approach to the premium segment, made for enlightened, modern women. The collections are made to last beyond seasons with new pieces and reinvent classics in a contemporary merge of traditional fabrics, silhouettes and techniques. The brand originates from a classic sartorial wardrobe, where the focus for all seasons is to facilitate unique collections, to empower women through defined and strong silhouettes. Their continuous encounter of Nordic women that emanates confidence in their lifestyle and mindset, is all over a great influence for Epilogue. Since the launch in 2004, the brand have applied architectural lines in their pieces, which preserve a flair of Oslo where Epilogue is based and created.
An epilogue is often a concluding section that rounds out the design of a literary work or the final scene in a play that comments on or summarizes the main action — the brands own favourite; the concluding section of a musical composition.

29-31st September, 2017
During mid session break, 10 UTS students participated in a Little Lifts trip to Moss Vale as part of The Big Lift initiative to give back to our surrounding communities. We arrived at Moss Vale Friday night and were warmly welcomed by Donna Jensen, member of the Moss Vale Connect Christian Church Group. We stayed in their community centre for the weekend and their hospitality during our time there was very kind and generous.
We volunteered at the community centre the next day completing various activities that our 10 energetic participants smashed out throughout the day. There was a lot of work to do and we were up to the task of making sure we got it all done, and we did! This included re-mulching the playground, removing and re-planting 2 large trees, mowing and maintaining the lawns which are used by the wider Moss Vale community, re-painting various parts of the centre such as a feature wall in the auditorium, windows frames and hand railing and other various maintenance activities. It was also great to spend time with the people in their local community and have a chat with the locals, get to know them and hear their stories.
The Connect group are also part of food drive where they collect food which is close to expiry and re-distribute them to people whom may need food items or may be struggling at times. This is a great initiative which the group runs and our host Donna was kind enough to make us amazing meals over the weekend using items from the food drive.
The next day we put our hands to use at the Moss Vale Community Garden which is an organic garden run by members of the community. It was great to get our hands dirty and help with composting, de-weeding the garden beds, mowing the lawns, planting seedlings and watering the gardens. It was a great day out in the sun and experience to learn about permaculture; organic gardening. The Community Garden also organised delicious catering from the Country Women's Association and in return the Community Garden were going do some planting for the CWA at their venue.
It was great to see community groups coming together and helping each other out. The Little Lifts participants achieved completed a wide variety of tasks over the weekend and finished everything we were allocated with time to spare! Looking forward to our next Little Lifts trip to the wonderful and beautiful town of
Moss Vale.

29-31st September, 2017
As part of a new effort for the Big Lift this year, we introduced a new format for our trips – Little Lifts. These trips were focused on a short weekend trip but focusing on one community over three days. This gave us the opportunity to spend more time in the communities to work on more smaller projects.
Over the weekend of 29th September to 1st October a group of ten students went to visit the township of Millthorpe. Welcomed with open arms by the Millthorpe Village Committee, providing us with some lovely supper and giving us a quick tour around town. Afterwards we settled in for the night in our accommodation at the local Arts hall. In the morning we worked along with the Village Committee by working on various projects around the town. Our first project involved working on the Mill Green. A space that was previously unused commonwealth land until the Millthorpe Garden Committee managed to repurpose the space to turn it into a wonderful community garden. Working with the Gardening Committee we helped with some gardening involving weeding and mulching. Another team helped at the local Niche Wall at the Cemetery providing some much-needed tidying and pruning. At the end of the day, everyone regrouped to work on building a new garden and pathway at the Millthorpe Golden Memories Museum.
Afterwards we were treated with a great lunch. At the night we were given the opportunity to spend dinner at one of our hosts house. Meeting again with the various members of the community who we had worked with on the day. It was a great night of exchanging stories and experiences over a wonderful meal. It was a special weekend for all involved, and an amazing experience to meet the community of Millthorpe.

When I was young, I once drove to Wyoming in a snow storm with a boyfriend on a whim. We got caught in the mountain overpasses by a whiteout, and we were getting scared for our safety because my headlights were aimed oddly and I had no fog lights in my ancient Toyota. We were eventually led out of the passes by some truckers, and continued on our way. Even though we had been frightened, the entire experience was exactly that, an Experience. It was one of those moments of youth that you look back on a thrill over.
The true tragedy in life isn't that the world gets mundane and loses it's thrill as we age. There are as many fantastic and terrifying experiences that come with thirty as there were with 19. In fact, the stakes are higher now than they have ever been, I should be over the rooftops with thrill. I am daily surrounded by everything I ever dreamed of when I was young.
No, the real tragedy is that we never realize the thrill, until years have passed. When we are young, we long for our adulthood and minimize our youth. As adults, we long for our youth and stress over our adulthood.
The real tragedy is never being thrilled with where you are.
Oh, there are some moments of perfect realization, a few of those experiences that break through life like the sun breaks through the clouds. Radiating their heat, their thrill, into our very souls, and screaming "This. This is what I live for."
Those moments are rare. They can be a trip to Wyoming, or the first time your child really laughs at something you do, or when your partner looks at you in just the right way. The first time you do what you trained so long to do, or the first promotion, the first word, the first step.
Why can't they be found in the laundry? Or the dishes? Or the TPS reports? Those are the places where we build the foundation for those moments. No one lives to starve, or go broke, or wear filthy clothes all the time. You need the mundane in order to create stage for your life to play across. Without the sweat and repetition of life, there is nowhere for the magic to happen.
We should be thrilled to have the mundane. We should look around our lives, and we should say, I am thrilled to be here, knee deep in dirty dishes, surrounded by cleaning products, buried in paperwork, stuck in traffic.
Why do we wait for the tiny moments, the rare moments, the movie moments, to thrill?

Catt, I think thrill is a function of surprise, as is humor. In the instant of awareness: THIS is finally happening to me; this juxtaposition is funny, comes the moment of "shocked" recognition. It's the coming together of two things that don't usually stand side by side. The practice of mindfulness creates awareness and appreciation of the mundane, the savoring of the usual, if you will, but the heartbeat accelerates, the laugh tumbles forth in surprise. Or so I'm thinking right this mundane moment. And Hillary won Nevada!

"Why do we wait for the tiny moments, the rare moments, the movie moments, to thrill?"
That's a great question and one that I've frequently asked myself. I notice that I often tend to feel like I'm waiting for the next greatest thing to show up. I don't know why it's so hard to be content with the present. Maybe that's because society often tricks us about what will make us happy?
- woman at the well said...
Mindfulness is in turning those daily moments into moments dedicated to doing each task well; there's a notion that if you can do small things well, you mght be prepared for the greater things. You make a good point about life being a series of routine things - but we have to find a way to inject an element of, I'm going to use religious language here, an element of holiness into daily life. If all a person does is seak after "peak experiences" you miss the joy of daily life.

Very well said. I strive to find the magic in everyday moments.
- Red Flashlight said...
It's all a grand, sparkly opera! The whole thing.
I've noticed that people don't need to create drama in their lives - it comes after them whether they like it or not. We spend so much time deadening our responses to the real events around us that when the sublime pops up we forget how to recognize it.

I don't know if this blog service emails you when someone comments on a past post, but (without a working computer at home - though we have two that currently don't work) I don't get a chance to check your entries very often. I do like to keep up though and see how you and your beautiful children are doing! When I read this entry, I had to comment...
I have to say that as I sat here in my office, taking a break from my mundane, tears began to fall down my cheeks upon reading this. This is exactly how I feel right now. And your thoughts are so beautifully written. Being currently in a holding pattern...waiting for a job for my husband to come in, looking for a new job for me, and hoping to move to a less horrible house as soon as possible...I am drowning in the mundane and miserable now. You make me realize that I need to stop dwelling on those fear-inciting, uncertainty-exploiting life challenges and focus on the everyday miracles, like the fact that I am lucky to have married a man I love and who loves me and that I am doing what I want to do and have a future in it (whatever or wherever that may end up being).
Thank you for reminding me to appreciate today, a mundane day, somewhere between my last greatest day and my next greatest day!

Pininfarina unveiled not just one but three of its much-anticipated Battista electric hypercars ahead of their public debut at the Geneva motor show, and they appear to have lived up to the hype.
As you surely recall from breathless earlier reports, the Battista is the first product of the new Automobili Pininfarina, a Munich-based branch of the famous design and small-volume manufacturing company Pininfarina SpA in Italy. Both Italian-named firms are 100-percent owned by Indian car- and truckmaker Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. Automobilia Pininfarina was launched earlier this year to "bring to market unique, beautiful and technically advanced sustainable luxury electric cars."
The Battista, named for Pininfarina founder Battista "Pinin" Farina, fits that description.
"We wanted Battista to be very Italian, with sensual curves to give back a feeling of the cars of the '60s and the moment in time when sensual design in cars was to the fore and when Pininfarina really became iconic," said Automobili Pinifarina's Design director Luca Borgogno. "The body form speaks this Italian language, with details developed in collaboration with each car's owner adding the accents and personality."

A new report dubbed 'Looking Ahead to 5G: Global Market, Application and Technology Development' has been released, covering 5G development and global mobile data traffic forecasts up to 2019.
The report, which is available now, notes that ultra high-speed networks and the IoE (Internet of Everything) are two major factors of 5G development.
It posits that 5G applications developed around the world will help propel socioeconomic development and will also function as a catalyser in the development of new living patterns and business models.
That's not hard to imagine, especially when considering the possible implications of the Internet of Everything / Internet of Things, whereby almost every electronic device could be connected. It's clear that such a world would change the ways in which we live and work.
The 33-page report profiles 5G development from regional, application, technology and spectrum perspectives, with an aim to exploit its future opportunities.
From a technology development perspective, it includes a brief overview of 5G development from key companies, such as Samsung, Huawei and Qualcomm.
For regional development it looks at the situation in South Korea, the EU, the UK and China, in terms of R&D funding and initiative plans.
For application development the report gives a small overview of how the EU's METIS, Korea's 5G Forum, Japan's 5GMF, and China's IMT-2020 (5) have deployed 5G.
This isn't the only recent report on 5G, as another one, titled 'The 5G Wireless Ecosystem: 2015 - 2025 - Technologies, Applications, Verticals, Strategies & Forecasts', forecasts that almost $5 billion will have been spent on 5G research, development and trial investments by 2020, with vendors already aggressively investing in the technology.

This course provides important information regarding studying in Japan. The most helpful part for me was where the international students share their experiences. It is very hard to find such first hand info online. Also the links to important e-docs such as JASSO website, MEXT scholarship info etc. makes it easy for an outsider to sort things out. I recommend every student who is considering Japan as their next destination to take this course.

The baby turns 3 in just a couple of days.
I wasn't concerned when the oldest turned 5. I even dropped him off at Kindergarten and didn't shed a tear.
But the BABY turning 3? Where has the time gone?
For the last year, he's been obsessed with Monster Trucks. Its actually his response to everything.
Me:"How old are you?"
Almost 3: "Big Monster Truck"
Me: "What do you want for lunch?"
Almost 3: "Wrecking Crew Monster Truck"
So, naturally, when asked what kind of birthday party he wanted to have… you know what he said.
I decided after 5's birthday party that I would no longer hand out goodie bags. I mean does anyone keep the stuff in them anyway? I'm not knocking it- my boys are SO excited in the car on the way home from a party. They pull out each item as if they have found gold. "Mom, did you see this sticker?" "Mom, no way! Bubbles!!!!" After a couple of days though, I get excited to find all those little things that would eventually end up under the couch and/or chewed up by the dog and I throw them away. So, I decided to change our party game plan and hand out t-shirts instead. Right now, it's easy- we constantly hang out with same crew. There's 7 boys in total. The oldest is 6 and the youngest is 6 weeks.
I'm digging the way they turned out.
I started by cheating. I bought a pack of different colored t-shirts all in size 4. Turns out this was a great game plan and fit everyone who was size 3 up to size 5 perfectly (everyone but the baby!). The stencil and the paint were not that expensive either! At the time of purchase, I bought all my supplies for under $30 and I had supplies left over.
To be honest, it probably cost the same as the goodie bags. It might have taken a little longer to put together- each shirt took about 15-20 minutes- but I feel like it was really worth it. I'm also really excited to see how the group pictures will turn out.
Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to post the recipes and décor from the party this Saturday!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
The weather was so beautifully sunny and warm this weekend, that I could have worn shorts to the regatta in Princeton on Saturday. But, I refrained… After shaving, my legs were so dry and scaly looking, I was actually embarrassed to show them!
Lotions and creams help, but need to be reapplied (not an option at an all-day, outdoor event). And, since I certainly don't want to wear jeans or pants all spring and summer, today I pulled out the serious stuff — Leven Rose Jojoba Oil!
For years, I've been buying products that boast jojoba oil as a key ingredient, without ever really knowing what it is. So I did a little research. What I discovered is that jojoba oil is harvested from a shrub common to the southwestern US and Mexico. Although Native Americans used the oil for centuries, it didn't come into widespread commercial use until the 1970's. The oil from this plant is highly prized for use in beauty products because it's not only colorless and odorless, but also absorbs quickly in to skin, nails and hair.
I found that just a few drops of the Leven Rose Jojoba Oil in my bath made a world of difference. My skin is silky smooth, but not greasy. And, since it absorbed so quickly, I was on my way in no time. Plus, the effects have lasted all day, unlike many lotions and creams, whose effectiveness wanes as the day progresses!
One of the things I like most about Leven Rose Jojoba Oil is that it's completely natural, with no preservatives, chemicals or artificial fragrances used. So, if you have sensitive skin, this is perfect solution. In fact, according to WebMD, "Jojoba is applied directly to the skin for acne, psoriasis, sunburn, and chapped skin."
And, since the jojoba oil worked so well on my body, I thought I'd try it on my face, as well. The oil is recommended as an organic makeup remover, and I think it's a much better alternative than chemical-filled makeup wipes or even baby oil. It removes makeup easily and completely, and moisturizes the delicate skin around the eyes skin at the same time.
I highly recommend this product if you have dry skin, sensitive skin, or just want a natural and organic alternative to chemical laden moisturizing products. One word of caution, however. The Leven Rose Jojoba Oil comes packaged with an eye dropper delivery system for a reason — a little goes a long way!
Leven Rose Jojoba Oil is available on Amazon for only $13.97.

Emergency Medicine: A Life of Interruption
Alexandra Godfrey, BSc PT, MS PA-C
Emergency medicine is a life of interruption. Physicians, nurses, PAs, radiology techs, registration clerks: we are all constantly interrupted or interrupting. Unfortunately, interruptions and distractions and the consequent attention shift may lead to error. Sometimes, we fail to return to the original task, make an error in that task, or waste time on less urgent […]

Environment sensor for outdoor equipment monitoring
Lim, Kenneth Song Liang
Date of Issue2016
School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
This is a report to document the further enhancement made to the existing wireless sensor network that consists of environment sensors. The end devices are to be deployed in several kinds of whole sky imagers (WSI) system as a working environment sensors to collect the temperature and relative humidity readings of these various kinds of the system. These readings from each of the whole sky imagers system will be transmitted to a data logging coordinator which stores readings for further analysis. The first half of the project targets to tackle on the two main aspects which are; monitor and test a working collection of end – devices to be in each of the whole sky imagers system, and modifying of the program codes of end – devices to improve the data of transmission in the whole sky imagers system. The second half of the project is to improve the energy efficiency of the end – devices by integrating with solar panels. The effect of the solar panel on the lifespan of the batteries will be discussed in greater detail. In additional there is a need to redesign the circuit of the end – device base on the most effective way of using the solar panels. This enhancement of the project enable it to be deployed readily in the whole sky imagers system so as to meet the main objective for this project.

Senior goalie Charlotte Johnson has stood on her head at times to keep the Pierson/Bridgehampton field hockey team alive in big games. On Saturday against Carle Place, her head was spinning instead.
Five players scored goals in the first half alone as the two-time defending Long Island champion Frogs went on to win the Long Island Class C Championship, 7-0, at Berner Middle School in Massapequa on Saturday, November 3.
Carle Place (10-3) advanced in the New York State tournament and will compete in the Class C Final Four at Williamsville North High School outside Buffalo next weekend.
It was clear from the opening whistle that the Lady Whalers, whose starting lineup is filled with underclassmen and even middle school players, were outmatched. The Frogs put a shot on goal less than 30 seconds into the game and freshman Giana McKeough scored the game's first goal off a corner with just two-and-a-half minutes expired.
From there, the floodgates opened and the Frogs secured corner after corner and led by four goals at the midway point of the first half. After going into the break leading 6-0, Carle Place senior Skylar Reed scored her third goal of the game with 25:25 remaining to provide the final margin. The Frogs continued to attack and finished the game with 29 shots on goal and 18 corners, while the Lady Whalers managed just a single shot all game.
It was a difficult end to an otherwise remarkable career for Johnson in goal. She helped lead the Lady Whalers to the state semifinals as a freshman in 2015, but then lost to the Frogs in each of the next three seasons. Unlike Saturday's lopsided loss, though, the previous games were close, largely thanks to Johnson, who made 39 combined saves in the previous two Long Island finals. She made 22 saves on Saturday, finished her career with more than 700 and will continue her field hockey career next year at Duke University, one of the top Division I programs in America.
Schaefer, an All-State midfielder who will play field hockey next year at Lehigh University, will also graduate along with defenders Sophia Bitis and Olivia Auperlee.

Stocks Higher on EU Business Report
NEW YORK (AP) -- U.S. and European stocks were solidly higher Tuesday, helped by a report out of Europe that showed businesses activity was expanding across the continent. Best Buy jumped after the electronics retailer reported a jump in sales.
KEEPING SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average rose 90 points, or 0.5 percent, to 18,620 as of 10:07 a.m. Eastern. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 10 points, or 0.5 percent, to 2,192 and the Nasdaq composite rose 28 points, or 0.5 percent, to 5,272.
EUROPE: A survey across the 19-country eurozone found that business expanded in August at a steady but subdued pace, a sign that companies were not overly worried about Britain's decision to leave the European Union. The IHS Markit survey of purchasing managers reached a seven-month high. Germany's DAX rose 1.1 percent, France's CAC-40 rose 1 percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 rose 0.8 percent.
SUMMER LULL: Global markets were otherwise subdued as trading volumes were thin amid the summer holidays. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is due to speak Friday at an annual conference of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The Fed is not expected to raise interest rates at its September meeting but Yellen's comments will be dissected for clues on the likelihood and timing of such a hike.
POWER ON: Best Buy jumped $5.05, or 16 percent, to $37.87 after the retailer reported results that beat analysts' estimates. Notably Best Buy said sales in stores open at least a year rose in the latest quarter, a sign that the company's turnaround strategy is working in the face of strong competition from Amazon and other online retailers.
ENERGY: Oil prices fell again. U.S. benchmark crude fell 71 cents to $46.70 a barrel. Brent crude, used to price oil internationally, dropped 59 cents to $48.56 a barrel.
CURRENCIES: The dollar slipped to 100.07 yen from 100.29 yen late Monday. The euro edged up to $1.1328 from $1.1323.
BONDS: U.S. government bond prices rose. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.53 percent from 1.54 percent.

The impact of global warming on seasonality of ocean primary production
Henson, S. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3875-6802; Cole, H.; Beaulieu, C.; Yool, A.. 2013 The impact of global warming on seasonality of ocean primary production. Biogeosciences, 10 (6). 4357-4369. https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-10-4357-2013Before downloading, please read NORA policies.

The seasonal cycle (i.e. phenology) of oceanic primary production (PP) is expected to change in response to climate warming. Here, we use output from 6 global biogeochemical models to examine the response in the seasonal amplitude of PP and timing of peak PP to the IPCC AR5 warming scenario. We also investigate whether trends in PP phenology may be more rapidly detectable than trends in annual mean PP. The seasonal amplitude of PP decreases by an average of 1–2 % per year by 2100 in most biomes, with the exception of the Arctic which sees an increase of ∼ 1 % per year. This is accompanied by an advance in the timing of peak PP by ∼ 0.5–1 months by 2100 over much of the globe, and particularly pronounced in the Arctic. These changes are driven by an increase in seasonal amplitude of sea surface temperature (where the maxima get hotter faster than the minima) and a decrease in the seasonal amplitude of the mixed layer depth and surface nitrate concentration. Our results indicate a transformation of currently strongly seasonal (bloom forming) regions, typically found at high latitudes, into weakly seasonal (non-bloom) regions, characteristic of contemporary subtropical conditions. On average, 36 yr of data are needed to detect a climate-change-driven trend in the seasonal amplitude of PP, compared to 32 yr for mean annual PP. Monthly resolution model output is found to be inadequate for resolving phenological changes. We conclude that analysis of phytoplankton seasonality is not necessarily a shortcut to detecting climate change impacts on ocean productivity.

Any time you set up a class in Coacha, the software generates a readymade register that you can use straight from your smartphone or tablet to sign people in and out of class. Clever, right?
To find a register, just hover over 'Classes & Registers' in the site's main navigation and select 'Attendance Register'.
You will automatically be faced with today's registers.
You can navigate through the 4 tabs on the screen to view Past Registers, Today's Registers, This Week and Search.
You can search for a specific register by using the date pickers in the blue 'Search for Register' bar.
If the class did not take place for some reason, tick the 'void' box so it doesn't skew your attendance statistics.
Click the green 'view' button to load the register that you need.
You can then use the register during a class or event to sign people in or out by clicking the plus sign on their profile, taking them from 'Not Attending' to 'Attending' (or using the minus sign for vice versa). To arrive all the attendees in one go, just hit the 'Add All' button.
If you need to access contact info or medical details from this screen, you can do so by clicking the 'I' button on a member's profile. That means in the event of an emergency or if you need to chase up a no-show, all the need to know information is exactly where you need it.

Since today was MLK day I had off of work. It was nice to have off since we had a work party on Sunday. Harley and I didn't do much today and then I started to feel like I was coming down with a cold so I rested and got caught up on TV shows. The dog didn't mind I wasn't really messing up his routine because that's what he does everyday anyways lol. Here is a few photos I took of how the dog relaxes all day long lol.
So while I was laying around I also got caught up on a few more hats for the hospital nursery.

Spasticity after spinal cord injury doesn't have to weigh you down. In fact, it's completely treatable if you're willing to put in the time and effort.
What Is Spasticity After Spinal Cord Injury?
You know that euphoric feeling you get when you get up and stretch after sitting for a long time? Imagine being unable to stretch and having that discomfort linger.
That's kind of what muscle spasticity after spinal cord injury feels like.
Your body sends sensory inputs to your brain through the spinal cord. Normally, the brain responds to these inputs and tells them to relax. With spinal cord injury, the inputs can't reach the brain, so spasticity occurs.
Spasticity is when you lose voluntary control over your muscles, causing them to contract. This can result in stiffness and spasms.
The goal is to strengthen existing connections in the spinal cord and to promote the regeneration of new connections.
Treatments for Spasticity After Spinal Cord Injury
You need to practice healthy self-care behaviors to reduce spasticity.
Stretching is essential for reducing any tightness or discomfort, but depending on the severity of your spasticity, you may need to seek other forms of treatment.
Treatment can range from light stretching to invasive surgery. It's common to use a combination of treatments.
What works for one person may not work for another, so it's crucial that you stay hopeful, determined, and patient.
Let's find out which treatment is the best option for you.
Physical and occupational therapists can teach you lots of different stretches and activities to reduce spasticity. Repetition is key and rewires your brain to recognize existing and new connections with your muscles.
Therapy will increase your range of motion and teach you how to isolate certain parts of your body. It's also very convenient because everything is guided to ensure that your recovery goes smoothly.
Milder cases of spasticity may not even need the assistance of professionals, but it's always a good idea to get properly checked out.
The effects of stretching can last for several hours, but it's imperative that you continuously practice rebuilding that muscle to brain connection.
In cases of incomplete spinal cord injury, connections to the brain still exist. Locomotor training can help strengthen those connections and contribute to the regeneration of new ones to help regain voluntary control.
There's no way to cheat physical therapy, but there are a few options to accompany the process.
Oral Medications
Oral medications will temporarily relax your muscles by blocking the neurotransmitters that cause muscle contractions.
The most common oral medication is Baclofen. Others include Tizanidine, Clonidine, and Diazepam.
Remember to take oral medications only at the recommended dosages to avoid negative side effects like nausea, fatigue, or dizziness.
Many times when you're dealing with spinal cord injury, you're already taking medication so it's important to check if it's safe to take them together or not.
Like oral medications, injections will temporarily pause the communication between the nerve and the muscle to decrease the intensity of any reflexes. This makes it easier to participate in physical therapy.
To avoid affecting all your muscles the way oral medications do, injections will target specific muscles.
Botox and oral medications are only temporary and not a substitute for physical therapy. The only way to truly treat spasticity is through repetitive stretching and strengthening exercises.
Cheaper injection options include phenol and alcohol.
Spasticity after spinal cord injury can also be treated with more invasive methods.
One way is to surgically insert a baclofen pump that administers baclofen directly into the spinal cord. This option has a lower risk of side effects than ingesting baclofen because it does not enter the bloodstream and is taken in much smaller doses.
Another option is through electrical stimulation of the nerves. It involves inserting an implant that releases electrical currents in place of the injured area, stimulating nerve activity.
However, surgical intervention is typically a last resort after trying all other treatments because of its invasive and costly nature. Nobody wants to get surgery unless it's necessary.
What to Expect When Treating Spasticity After Spinal Cord Injury
If you've ever been hit by another car, you know that sometimes you might not feel any immediate pain. This is because your body is in shock. It usually isn't until a couple of days later that you notice back pain.
Spasticity works the same way and can develop around a year before it stabilizes.
The majority of people with spinal cord injury experience spasticity so you're not alone. Over time, your body naturally adjusts and learns to avoid the actions that trigger it.
There's no easy way out and you need to put in the work to reap the benefits. It may take some trial and error, but it will all be worth it.
Everybody heals at their own pace and with the right mindset, you can conquer spasticity too!

Yesterday Mountain Man had a call to say that five yearlings (for which read 'a bunch of teenagers'!) were down on a farm- they had gone visiting these three!
He got them back through the fence, then I drove around to the other side of Twmbarlwm and walked back along the fire road to meet them. They had taken him up the steepest way they could, with the most, lowest, hanging branches!! At last we got them going up to Pegwn y Bwlch at the foot of Twmbarlwm, then up Twmbarlwm itself
looking up
and down
Back on the mountain. I walked behind them and went around the side of Twmbarlwm, sometimes on sheep tracks, others walking through knee-high Bilberry bushes- heavy going!
Mountain Man went over the top in case others of the herd were there.
Then we followed them at a steady walk, persuading them to carry on until they were with another mixed bunch of eight, including a couple of older mares to keep an eye on them!
We watched the approach of a scrambling motorbike with trepidation- would they bolt back? Luckily he had the sense to see what we were doing and eased off-mind you, he was not supposed to be on the mountain atall.
We were glad of a following wind back to the car . Driving was "interesting" with tender(ized?) feet!!

looks like you got some exercise !
Are the ponies for pleasure or part of a farming enterprise or perhaps a bit of both ?

I think a lot of both, for him!
They look good on the mountain, they should be there, and his grandfather and father had Welsh Mountain Ponies (and cobs ) too

The inside and outside of this stellar Dupont home couldn't be more dissimilar; the facade looks like a dignified, if staid, brick townhome, but inside it looks like the set of a Prince music video. This house is the proverbial book that you can't judge by its cover, sort of like your ex who seemed totally well-adjusted and normal, but turned out to have a secret wife and kids in an adjacent city, and whose name wasn't really even "Derek." (It was "Ted." Ted!)
Inside, the main level has a totally open floor plan, for that coveted "aircraft hangar" vibe that's so popular these days. Now that the open floor plan is becoming ubiquitous, I can't really even think of any reason to have walled rooms in your house, other than, "I can't stand these people," in which case you have bigger problems than your house's floor plan. There's a roomy bay window in the front of the house that you really are obligated to turn into a reading nook, even though that means you're probably going to make awkward eye contact with passersby on a regular basis. (When I used to sit in my first floor bay window, I thought about putting a handprinted sign in the window that said, "I WASN'T LOOKING AT YOU, YOU WALKED INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT!") There's a sleek fireplace along one wall, and a freestanding arched doorway that's either a brilliant stylistic flourish, or the contractor who knocked down all the walls had to leave early one day to take care of some parking tickets, and they never bothered to finish the last bit of the job.
The kitchen features Porcelanosa cabinets and Miele stainless steel appliances, which means that even if you met Jeff Bezos, or a Saudi prince, you could look them in the eye, and think to yourself, "my kitchen is more or less just as nice as theirs." The staircase leading upstairs has one of those waist-high glass barrier-railings that, if you Lord forbid ever tripped down the stairs, would probably behead you as cleanly as a red-hot spoon you heated up on your stove burner sliding into the pint of ice cream you drunkenly bought at 7-11 that you can't wait for to soften naturally. Upstairs, the master bedroom goes from contemporary all-white minimalism to full-on "this is where they shot all the dream sequences on "Twin Peaks.'" The walls are white, with a red patterned accent wall and lots of weird features that might be purely ornamental, or might be lamps or bedside cupboards or something. There's also a huge all-white walk-in closet with a floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall in which you can wink at yourself and give yourself thumbs-up to get you motivated for the day. (I can't be the only one who does this.) The master bath has edgy twin basins that look sort of like they're made out of Tetris blocks, a glass-walled shower, and, right in the middle of the room, maybe my favorite tub ever. It's huge and round and basically a massive soup bowl that you can sit in. I don't know why I don't see more of these tubs. I added it to my list of house features that I'm going to have in the house I build once my bitcoin gets to be worth a million dollars.
Outside, there's a stone balcony and a wooden deck, as well as a large-ish flagstone patio. And finally, the house has not one but two separate, legal apartments. If you played your cards right, you could actually achieve everyone's dream of buying a house and paying the entire mortgage by renting a portion of it out, freeing you to quit your job and watch "Judge Judy" all day, with occasional breaks to extract random objects (shoes, latex gloves, entire mangoes, baseball-sized clots of hair) from your tenants' plumbing. (Ninety percent of being a landlord is extracting objects from your tenants' toilets.)

Folks often ask me, "What does the ObJN after your name stand for?" I reply, sometimes sheepishly I admit, because I don't want to be misunderstood. "ObJN stands for Oblate in the Order of Julian of Norwich." Sometimes the conversation shifts at that moment. But, at other moments there is an invitation to continue. "What is an Oblate?" So, I might go on: "An Oblate is a person in the world vowed through a monastery to a certain life of prayer and discipline." An Oblate in the Order of Julian, as an example, promises to uphold the teachings and theology of Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth century English Christian mystic. An Oblate is committed to living a life of witness in the church and in the world in the name of Christ. An ObJN is committed to the modified Benedictine Rule of Life: poverty, chastity, obedience and prayer. Three hours of weekly still prayer and daily worship experiences of Morning and Evening Prayer according to the Book of Common Prayer are also part of the practice. If Morning and Evening Prayer are the foundation of each day, the Rule of Life is the framework of each day.
How did this all begin for me? Many years ago I began to explore the use of Morning Prayer, fitting it into my morning occasionally when I felt the desire to do so, or when I simply remembered to do so. The way that the practice came together was particularly evolutionary for me in the beginning and it continues to evolve. I suspect that will always be the case by design. I noticed that my day was transformed into something else on the days that I began with the Prayers. Those around me seemed different when I began with the Prayers. And I, too, was being transformed through this practice. What began gradually with Prayers every once in a while, sometimes in community with others but often practiced alone, became more frequent experiences because the practice itself (with the action of the Holy Spirit), of spending set aside time together with God through the Book of Common Prayer compelled me. Something was happening.
Over the course of this process, the practices of Daily Prayer grew to become a way of telling time each day. Bookends, perhaps. No, more like a foundation. And, in a sense, it is that foundation that holds my Rule of Life, which is a Community Rule that I share with Oblates in the Order of Julian of Norwich. These are modified monastic vows. The rule includes vows to practice Daily Prayer, to commit to three hours a week to still prayer, regular spiritual reading, to witness to the theology of Julian (that happens to be Trinitarian), commitment to monthly spiritual direction and regular reporting to the Prior of the Oblates, an annual silent retreat and available spiritual direction with the Order's Guardian. The formal Rule is modified Benedictine: poverty, chastity, obedience and prayer. These indicate a commitment to both active and contemplative ministry, a framework for all of life.
As I said earlier, something was changing. That something was me. It was my relationship with God. It was my relationships with others and the world. It was finding courage to earnestly discern vocational leanings/callings in my life. There is nothing special or unique about this, available only to a select few. God calls each of us into being and doing. As my life transformed, I found that when I once would have turned to God with a "How do you expect me to do that?" now my "hows" have given way to "yesses."
Are there risks? Sure. This writing may look like spiritual overachieving to some. I've gotten this criticism from more than a few. Yet, others dismiss this quest as "esoteric" and a sheer waste of time. I'm here to tell you that there is nothing esoteric about the path to seeking and becoming or about seeking the experience of one's deep authenticity. There is nothing esoteric about being responsible to others and admitting human imperfection and vulnerability. And, that is the risk one takes whenever they share their life. It is this vulnerability that reminds us that we are all vulnerable to one another and ultimately to God. Our life's journey is an invitation to face the reality of our vulnerabilities. It is in the facing of them and in our honest sharing with others and with God where deep work in our lives is possible. This is really about a grounded relationship with God and an experience of God in all things as much as these things are possible in one's lifetime, a unification with the source of all creation. Not doing anything, or dismissing another, becomes the greater risk.
What are you being asked to do that you have not yet gotten around to doing with your life?

Global software giant Oracle reaffirmed Tuesday its plan to establish a massive data center in South Korea by the end of this year, as the data management provider seeks to expand its presence in the country's cloud services market.
During a meeting with reporters in Seoul, Oracle Korea CEO Kim Hyung-rae said the data center would be established as planned within this year. Oracle had announced its plans last year as other global tech companies made forays into Korea's cloud services market.
If the plan is implemented as scheduled, Oracle will be the third US tech firm to build its own data center in Korea, following Amazon and Microsoft. Amazon set up its data center in 2016 and Microsoft followed suit the next year.
"We are working relentlessly to launch the data center within this year," Kim said in a press conference at Oracle CloudWorld Seoul 2019. "The data center will boost Korea's transformation efforts in cloud service."
|Andrew Sutherland, Senior Vice President of Systems & Technology for Oracle Europe, Middle East & Africa & Asia Pacific, says during a press conference in Seoul Tuesday. Yonhap
But Kim did not comment on the exact launch date or provide a detailed timeline for its operation. Speculation has emerged that Oracle aims to launch the center in Seoul within the first half of this year.
According to Kim, Korea still lags behind other countries when it comes to transformation efforts in cloud markets due to strict regulations. The government, for instance, had restricted public offices from using private cloud services out of security concerns. That regulation was scrapped last year.
Combined with Oracle's efforts to advance its "autonomous cloud service" based on artificial intelligence technology, Kim asserted that the data center would help Korea adapt to a tectonic shift in cloud services technology.
"Compared with the US, Europe and Japan, Korea's transformation efforts in the cloud service market have been a bit slow. It depends upon whether the countries have their own data centers. By launching the center, we are hoping to accelerate Korea's transformation efforts," Kim said.
While Oracle has led the enterprise database market, it faces growing competition from other tech giants. Amazon, for example, has mounted a direct challenge with its own database service called Amazon Web Service.
Over the past few years, Oracle and Amazon have traded barbs over which companies can provide better cloud service to consumers. The feud has at times turned ugly, with senior executives exchanging insults and trash talk.
Oracle's Senior Vice President of Systems & Technology, Andrew Sutherland, appeared to continue the squabble in a comment he made during the same news event taking place in Seoul.
"Amazon is, frankly, dead-end for enterprise workload," said Sutherland, who manages Oracle's operations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. "Many of our customers ... come to Oracle when they wish to see true enterprise capable workload moving to cloud."
AWS is being widely used by Korean conglomerates satisfied with its price-competitive services. Last year, the country's retail giant Hyundai Department Store agreed to work with AWS to develop an advanced retail model.

Miss Sarah came to me with a passion for classic pin-up boudoir…and boy, did we have a blast creating it for her! In the spirit of the fabulous Gil Elvgren and glamorous American pin-up art from the past, we spent a day playing it up on vintage Vespa's and shag fur rugs. SUCH fun! I could have shot with Sarah all day…she was so patient and sweet to work with. Love this girl!
Here's just a sneak peek of some of the fun we had…enjoy! xo
And once again, I couldn't have done it without my fabulous go-to-girl for makeup and hair, Jeanette Crutchfield. Her skills are indispensable to me!

Williams, R. (2011). Top 10 London. New York: DK Pub. 9780756669423
One cool thing about not being in school is all the vacation time I can actually use for . . . vacation. Imagine that! My first big trip after Library School was to Washington, D.C. My friend there had the DK Top 10 Washington D.C. guide which was really cool. When I went to Hawaii, I bought DK's guide pertaining to Honolulu and Oahu. Shortly after deciding to serve on a mission trip to England, I order the Top 10 London guide from Amazon. This is also an entry for the 2011 Non-Fiction Challenge,
DK Eyewitness Top 10 London offers the tourist several lists of the ten best restaurants, hotels, museums, parks, etc. Additionally, it talks of the top London literati and songs of the merry, old town. This guide also has a foldout map pocketed in the back cover. Of course, all of this information in packaged into a slim volume which travels well.
When my copy arrived, I was impressed by its thickness. The guide to London was bigger than the Hawaiian edition I'd previously gotten. I recommend any of these DK Top 10 books to any traveler. I'm certainly a repeat customer.

Many people do not know that other creatures share this world with us. Among which are Jinn and Devils. What about these creatures which are known to be living right here with us on the earth? They share our houses and they eat and drink with us. In fact, they are even capable of spoiling our thoughts and hearts. They drive us to destroy our own species. They can make us associate them (in worship) with Allah.

There is a place in Northern Kentucky that is a favorite discount shopping destination of mine.
It is not for the faint of heart. In fact, my husband does not like going and it is a form of torture to bring my kids shopping there with me because this is not the type of store that you can shop quickly at.
That place is the Gap Clearance Center in Hebron, Kentucky…..and you can't beat the deals!

Starting a business in Bali
I'm currently on the tropical island of Bali...
You may have heard of it... It's where she found love in "Eat, Pray, Love." Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall got married here. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and many other celebs have holidays here... To some, with its temples, beaches, tropical weather and friendly people, it's an escape to paradise...
What you may not know of is that there are various people around the world, including the USA, UK, Europe, Canada, and Australia, who have chosen to move to Bali and live and do business here!
If you're looking for a place to "escape" to, it's not a bad choice! Food and accommodation is cheap. Plus, with all the Westerners who come here, they make a good target market who have dollars to spend!
Just walking down the street near my hotel (the Marriott), I saw a bar which advertised it was Australian-owned! Obviously started by an Aussie who liked it and stayed. I also have a friend who had a successful business in Australia, who closed shop there and moved to Bali. He holds business workshops and does business consulting, mostly to the Westerners here, though he has locals as clients too...
So, depending on your situation, you don't have to just take a holiday... You can live and work in Bali and many other "paradise" locations too, if you want to, by starting your own business there...!
Just trying to show some of the possibilities...
Okay... Back to the tropical drinks and eating some exotic fruits for me (maybe another dragon fruit)...
Best wishes,

It may be a bit expected for a Health Coach to be telling you to eat your veggies, but let's talk about some fun ways to make getting veggies into your daily routine easier. Let's face it, most people struggle with getting their veggie intake. Wouldn't you agree? I'm told by most of you that time is the struggle for you — no time to do grocery shopping, food prepping, planning, cooking, etc.
I hear you loud and clear, and here are some of the ways I personally skirt that time-trap issue. First on the plate is soups and stews, which is particularly welcome this time of year. They are very heavy on the veggies, and with so many varieties, you won't get bored. Also, don't forget to get some veggies in with your breakfast such as in smoothies, a quiche, or omelets.
Making it convenient is a crucial step in getting more veggies in. Try prepping them for the week ahead of time, keeping them on the top shelf of your fridge, so they're at eye level, or use frozen veggies when you're in a time pinch. Keeping it simple by purposefully doubling your veggie count at dinner or having a salad with every meal will make the number of veggies you consume a daily occurrence, and over time it will be no problem getting enough of them on your plate!

As more and more passengers continue to crowd airports everywhere, airports are looking for new ways to increase passenger satisfaction and spending. One way to accomplish that is through terminal modernization projects. But modernization alone isn't enough. Wilson Rayfield, executive vice president of aviation at Gresham Smith, discusses how airports can increase passenger spending and satisfaction for the long-term.
Lewis: How will airport investments in terminal modernization pay off with increased passenger satisfaction and spend?
Wilson: It's a common question, something that's been going on a lot. A lot of our clients are modernizing, updating facilities and doing that to achieve what you've asked about—satisfaction and spend. Part of that is updating concessions, and a lot of airports have a five to seven-year renewal on concessions, so they're constantly kind of in a state of remaking. The big trends right now are offering concessions that are a combination of local and national brands.
I was recently in Madison, Wisconsin, and they have a really great local-based concessions program airside that provides not only restaurants that are local restaurants that have an airport location now, but they also have a gourmet food store that features a lot of Wisconsin cheeses and local craft beers and some other regional items there. For the airport to not just go to the concessions rebuild and rebrand if you will, but to also let that extend a little bit to the interior of the facility— there's not a hard line between the airport space and the concessions space. They're really trying to give a cohesive feel to it.
We always talk [with] our clients about how their facility should represent their location and where they are and where their passengers are coming from. Not only does that kind of tie into the local community to give that home airport feel, but it's also for the visitor, so within their experience when they visit a place, the airport is a part of the experience.
It's always been said and it's a little bit overused, but it's a very true statement that the airport is the first and last impression that a traveler has of a place. So when you go to Madison or to Richmond, Virginia, or Nashville, Tennessee, whether you have a great trip or not, the very first thing you're going to see and the very last thing you're going to see is the airport. It bookends that experience and very often will be part of that journey for a traveler.
Lewis: What elements are most conducive to creating an environment where people spend more?
Wilson: The answer to that varies drastically. It varies based on the airport, on the region, on the type of airport, whether it's a connecting hub or an O&D location. Then you also have to think about different traveler profiles. For a business traveler versus a leisure traveler, the answer to that question is very different.
I travel frequently for business, and I don't spend a lot of time in airports as a traveler. I get there just in time and leave there just in time. Where I do end up spending time is in connecting hubs and waiting for connecting flights. The elements that appeal to me are a place that I can get a lunch that's not a hamburger and French fries— something that's relatively light or a little bit healthier, and something that's quick usually because sometimes I have a 30-minute connection, sometimes I have longer.
But for a leisure traveler, and for someone who is on vacation, there are [airports] that have that regional branded gift shop. The occasional time when I do travel and want to bring something back for my kids or my wife, I am often looking for something that is not a cheesy "Welcome to Madison" magnet, but something that is a little bit more authentic. Something that represents the place that I just traveled to. So I think that providing those brands that represent a local environment is of real value.
But I think the other part – and maybe not [catering] to the spend as much but to the passenger satisfaction is – is a quiet space where I can sit and potentially do some work or make a phone call or stream some entertainment on my iPad. Sitting in a crowded hold room is the last place that I want to be. If I have two hours to kill at an airport, I'm trying to find some kind of a lounge area that's not crowded, that's not noisy and maybe has some different kind of seating options or potentially a business center where I can sit at a desk or carrel and get a little bit away from the hustle and bustle of the folks that have got 10 minutes to make a connection versus two hours.
When we work with our clients, we're often looking to provide a variety of spaces for passengers that have a different set of requirements and expectations for how they want to use the airport. How that translates to spending is, if I can easily find a place that I can camp out for a couple hours, I'm more likely to go buy a drink or something to eat, whereas, if I have a crowded hold room, everything's jammed and people are moving everywhere, I'm more likely to stand in the corner and try to get out of the way. I think providing an environment that passengers can relax and take some time in puts you at ease and lets you start to think about, well, maybe I will go have a beer or buy something to drink or have a snack or whatever it might be.
Lewis: How can airports incorporate these elements?
Wilson: A lot of times, it's trying to find or make opportunities for space. Airports are extremely busy, and many are constrained already on space and just trying to handle the growth that they've all experienced. All of our clients are seeing a lot of growth in passenger levels, and everyone's bursting at the seams.
What we try to do is look for underutilized space at an airport. There's some spaces that may not be as conducive to concessions offerings because they are a little bit off the main path of circulation. But we also look for ways to create more space. A recent project in Norfolk, VA, had an opportunity to renovate the restrooms on the airside. But what they couldn't do was renovate them in place because on one of the concourses, they only had a single set of restrooms. We came up with an approach to actually expand the concourse to build new restrooms. Once those were complete, allowed us to demolish the old restrooms and reclaim that space, some of which went to hold rooms, some of which went to concessions, and some of which went to extra lounge space for different kinds of seating. It's a matter of trying to utilize underutilized space and find opportunities to create space; relocating some functions that maybe don't have to be right off the main passenger circulation flow. A lot of times as airports evolve over decades of expansion, they'll end up with storage operations or airline break room space that could easily be relocated to another space within the airport that allows you to reclaim that space for passenger amenities.
