Topic Page: Oceanography
Study of the oceans. Its subdivisions deal with each ocean's extent and depth, the water's evolution and composition, its physics and chemistry, the bottom topography, currents and wind, tidal ranges, biology, and the various aspects of human use. Computer simulations are widely used in oceanography to plot the possible movements of the waters, and many studies are carried out by remote sensing.
Oceanography involves the study of water movements – currents, waves, and tides – and the chemical and physical properties of the seawater. It deals with the origin and topography of the ocean floor – ocean trenches and ridges formed by plate tectonics, and continental shelves from the submerged portions of the continents.
History Interest in the ocean received great impetus from the laying of submarine telegraph cables in the 1850s. Before this, interest had been concentrated on the more practical aspects of navigation: the influence of currents on ships' courses and chartmaking. Many early navigators, among them Capt James Cook, made valuable scientific observations on their voyages. Using information from ships' navigation logs, Matthew Fontaine Maury was the first to appreciate the interaction between wind and ocean currents. His work was first published 1856.
The first major oceanographic expedition was that of HMS Challenger, which sailed round the world 1872–76; under the supervision of Charles Wyville Thompson and John Murray, 362 hydrographic stations were made, 360 million sq km/140 million sq mi of ocean floor were mapped and 4,417 new marine animal species were discovered. From 1925 to 1927 the German ship Meteor undertook an extensive study of the physical, chemical, and sedimentary structure of the South Atlantic. Modern international expeditions involve ships, aircraft, and scientists, often combining meteorological and oceanographic experiments.
Distribution and depth The oceans cover about 71% of the Earth's surface. The proportion of land to water is 2:3 in the northern hemisphere and 1:4.7 in the southern hemisphere. The average depth of the oceans is approximately 10.91 km/6.78 mi in the Challenger Deep, a valley in the floor of the Mariana Trench, east of the Philippines (for comparison, the peak of Mount Everest is 8.85 km/5.50 mi above sea level). Some 76% of the ocean basins have a depth of 3–6 km/1.8–3.7 mi and only 1% is deeper. The deepest parts of the ocean occur mainly in Pacific trenches. The deepest sounding in the Atlantic Ocean is almost 9 km/5.6 mi in the Milwaukee Deep, part of the Puerto Rico Trench. In some ocean basins the sea floor is relatively smooth, and stretches of the abyssal plain in the northwestern Atlantic have been found to be flat within 2 m/6.5 ft over distances of 100 km/62 mi. Comparing the average depth of about 4 km/2.5 mi with the horizontal dimensions, which are of the order of 5,000–15,000 km/3,100–9,320 mi, gives a ratio similar to that of the width and thickness of a single sheet of paper.
As the continents are approached, the abyssal plain rises through the continental slope to the continental shelf. The width of the continental shelf varies enormously, but its average width is 65 km/40 mi and its average depth about 130 m/425 ft. These are important areas for fishing and petroleum deposits and have a great influence on local tides. The mass of the oceans is calculated to be 1.43 × 1018 t, with a mean density of 1.045 gm/cc and a mean temperature of 3.9°C/39.02°F.
Temperature On average, temperature distribution in the oceans has three distinct layers. From the surface to a depth of usually less than 500 m/1,640 ft, the water is quite uniformly warm. The temperature decreases comparatively rapidly in a layer 500–1,000 m/1,640–3,280 ft thick to about 5°C/41°F. This region is called the main thermocline and beneath it lie the deep ocean waters, where temperature decreases slowly with depth. Towards higher latitudes the thermocline becomes less deep and in subpolar regions the water column is uniformly cold.
The temperature beneath the main thermocline is fairly uniform throughout the oceans, but the temperature above the thermocline depends on latitude and the predominant currents. The mean annual surface temperature in the tropics is about 30°C/86°F; towards the poles this may drop to −1.7°C/28.9°F, the freezing point of sea water.
Except in the tropics the amount of heat the ocean receives at a given latitude varies with the seasons. In late spring and summer the surface temperature increases and heat is mixed downwards by turbulence, to form a mixed surface layer bounded underneath by a seasonal thermocline. This mixed layer is rarely thicker than 100 m/330 ft, and the seasonal thermocline has been shown to consist of many layers several metres deep at a uniform temperature, separated by thinner regions where temperature changes rapidly with depth. During the winter the surface temperature of the layer slowly decreases and the seasonal thermocline is eroded. The annual variation in surface temperature is at most about 10°C/50°F and often less.
The capacity of tropical waters to store heat has a great influence on the global circulation of the atmosphere, because this is driven by large-scale convection in the tropical atmosphere.
Composition and salinity Salinity is usually expressed as the amount of dissolved salts contained in 1,000 parts of water, with an average value of about 35 parts per thousand (ppT). Areas of particularly heavy precipitation, such as the tropics, and those with slight evaporation or a great inflow of fresh water, have a low salinity. In the Baltic Sea, for instance, the salinity is always below 29 ppT.
Regions of the trade winds and permanent anticyclonic conditions show high salinity, but the enclosed seas (such as the Mediterranean and the Red Sea) have the highest. The most striking contrasts of salinity are only a surface feature, and are greatly reduced in deeper waters. In the case of the Dead Sea, river water has been pouring down for thousands of years into a comparatively small lake where evaporation has been consistently high, and, as a result, the very high salinity of 200 ppT has been reached.
Pressure The pressure at any depth is due to the weight of the overlying water (and atmosphere). For every 10 m/33 ft of depth the pressure increases by about one standard atmosphere (atm), which is the pressure at sea level due to the weight of the atmosphere. Thus, at a depth of 4,000 m/13,125 ft the pressure is 400 atm, and is 1,000 atm or more at the bottom of the deepest trenches. Even at such enormous pressures marine life has been found. One of the effects of living at these great pressures is revealed when animals are brought up quickly in a trawl only to break into pieces on account of the sudden reduction in pressure. In the laboratory small unicellular creatures have been subjected to pressures as high as 600 atm without suffering any apparent harm.
Density The density of a sample of sea water depends first on its temperature, then on its salinity, and lastly on its pressure. Increasing salinity and pressure cause an increase in density, and higher temperatures reduce density. The range of density values found in sea water is remarkably small, varying from about 1.025 at the surface to about 1.046 at 4,000 m/13,125 ft.
As density is so closely linked to temperature, the density distribution in the oceans tends to mirror the temperature distribution. Surface density is minimal in the tropics with a value of 1.022 and increases towards higher latitudes with values of about 1.026 at 60°N or S. Vertical sections show the same three-layer structure as temperature, with a less dense, mixed upper layer lying on the thermocline which surmounts the bottom layer. In subpolar regions the density may be quite uniform throughout the water column. Small though these density differences may be, they have a profound effect on vertical motions in the ocean and large-scale circulation.
Currents Ocean currents can be divided into two groups. Wind-driven currents are primarily horizontal and occur in the upper few hundred metres of the ocean. Thermohaline currents are caused by changes in the density of sea water due to changes in temperature and salinity. They are mainly vertical currents affecting the deep oceans. Trade winds blowing from the east in low latitudes and the westerly winds of mid-latitudes along with the Coriolis effect produce a great clockwise gyre in the oceans of the northern hemisphere and an anticlockwise gyre in the southern hemisphere. The consequent return currents such as the Gulf Stream from the Equator towards the poles are relatively narrow and strong and occur on the western boundaries of the oceans.
There are also westerly counter-currents along the Equator, cold northerly currents from the Arctic, and a strong circumpolar current around Antarctica, which is driven by the 'roaring forties' (westerly winds). The currents in the northern Indian Ocean are more complicated and change direction with the monsoon. Some parts of the centres of the main oceanic gyres have very little current, for example the Sargasso Sea, but other areas have recently been shown to contain large eddies that are similar to, but smaller than, depressions and anticyclones in the atmosphere. The source of these eddies is uncertain but one possibility is large meanders that break off from strong western boundary currents such as the Gulf Stream. These eddies are the subject of recent research, as are the deep ocean currents, which have recently been shown to be faster than was thought.
Deep ocean currents mostly run in the reverse direction to surface currents, in that dense water sinks off Newfoundland and Tierra del Fuego and then drifts towards the Equator in deep western boundary currents. In the Arctic the sinking occurs because of the cooling of Arctic water in winter, whereas in the Antarctic it is because of an increase in salinity, and hence density, due to surface sea water freezing. The return vertical flow of this thermohaline circulation occurs as a very slow rise in dense deep water towards the surface over most of the ocean. This rise is a result of winds blowing over the water which increases the depth of the wind-mixed layer and the thermocline bringing up denser water from below.
Ocean circulation and currents play a dominant role in the climate of oceanic land margins. The ocean is warmer than the land in winter and cooler in summer, so that the climate of coastal regions is equable in that annual temperature variations are smaller than in the centre of large land masses, where the climate is extreme. Warm and cold ocean currents can produce climatic contrasts in places at similar latitudes, for example Western Europe and eastern Canada.
Light The colour of the sea is a reflection in its surface of the colour of the sky above. The penetration of light into the ocean is of crucial importance to marine plants, which occur as plankton. Thus they are able to survive only in the top 100 m/330 ft, or less if the water is polluted. The amount of light to be found at any depth of the ocean depends on the altitude of the Sun, on the weather and surface conditions, and on the turbidity of the water (see turbidity current). Sunlight can penetrate the sea's surface only when the Sun is vertically overhead and the sea is calm. Light that does not pass through the surface penetrates no deeper than about 150 m/500 ft. Not all the colours of the spectrum are absorbed equally: red rays are quickly absorbed, but blue and violet light penetrate much further. In clear waters, such as the Sargasso Sea, violet light may be present at 150 m/500 ft, though at a very low strength.
An excellent example of the absorption of light by sea water is the Blue Grotto on the island of Capri, Italy, within which everything is enveloped in pure blue light. This phenomenon occurs because light entering the cave must first pass through the surface water that almost fills the entrance.
Sound The speed at which sound travels underwater depends on density, which in turn depends on temperature, salinity, and pressure. In water at 0°C/32°F with salinity of 35 ppT and pressure of 1 atm the speed of sound is 1,445 m/4,740 ft s−1. The speed of sound increases by about 4 m/13 ft s−1 for an increase in temperature of 1°C/33.8°F, by 1.5 m/4.9 ft s−1 for an increase of 1 ppT in salinity and by 1.7 m/5.6 ft s−1 for an increase in pressure of 10 atm. This dependence on density means that the distribution of sound–speed displays the three vertical regions shown by temperature and density.
Below the mixed upper layer the velocity of sound decreases with depth in the region of greatest temperature change (thermocline). From about 1,000–1,500 m/3,280–4,920 ft the pressure dependence is the most important factor and the velocity of propagation increases with depth.
The variation in the speed of sound leads to the phenomenon of refraction, whereby the direction of propagation of the sound waves is altered. Thus sound waves that start in the vicinity of the minimum speed of sound at 1,000 m/3,280 ft or more tend to remain at this depth as energy spreading out in the vertical is refracted back to the original level. This gives rise to a sound channel called the SOFAR channel. Even quite small sound sources, for example, from whales, may be heard in the SOFAR channel at distances of many thousands of kilometres.
A similar sound channel, called the surface sound duct, may be formed if conditions make the speed of sound increase with depth just below the surface. Positions of maxima in the speed-of-sound profile produce shadow zones as sound energy in this region is refracted away from this depth.
Underwater sound is used to measure the ocean depth, by echo sounding, and for detection of underwater bodies such as submarines and shoals of fish (see sonar). The limit on the accuracy of depth determined by an echo sounder is due to lack of knowledge of the speed of sound at each particular location, and smaller-scale variations in the mixed upper layer can cause great difficulty in the interpretation of sonar returns.

The Wave of Purple Has Only Just Begun!
Have you noticed that the Seniors Guide's timeline has an extraordinary amount of purple on it lately?! That's because we've asked our readers to "go purple" in anticipation of National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month in November.
Throughout October, for every "go purple" photo you share on Facebook, we'll be donating $1 to the Alzheimer's Association (up to $5,000). So far, we've received photos of folks in purple hats, masks, socks and dresses and with purple tattoos, cups, fingernails and toenails.
It's easy to join in the fun! All you have to do is pull that purple sweater out of the back of your closet, take a selfie and share it on Facebook, tagging "Seniors Guide" and using the hashtag #seniorsguidegoespurple. Be sure to make your post "public" using the small icon under your name.
But don't stop there! Challenge your Facebook friends to "go purple" in their own creative ways. You'll be amazed at all the purple they come up with!
During National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, we honor the millions of Americans living with Alzheimer's disease by raising money and awareness to combat this disease impacting millions. In November, watch for the Seniors Guide's website and the rest of our social media pages to go purple too!

Any wizard might choose a wand for her bonded item, but a rare few this bond further, breathing into it by imparting a portion o their own intellect into the wand.
Though a risky practice, these wizards achieve a familiar more akin to that of a witch than a wizard, leading this specialty to be banned in many wizarding communities.
Prerequisite(s): A wizard must have chosen to bond with an item, and that item must be a wand. The wizard may bond with another wand in this way, but only by following normal rules for replacing a witch's familiar, or by using echo etching.
An echo bonded wizard eschews a spell book and, instead, prepares spells by communing with her echo-self in her wand familiar.
This ability modifies and replaces a wizard's ability to cast and prepare spells.
Echo Bonding (Su)
At 1st level, an echo bonded wizard forms a close bond with a wand, imparting part of her mind into the object, creating a separate but closely bonded entity. This process allows the wizard a level of metacognition unattainable by most, as her own mind becomes her mentor, teaching her spells as a witch's familiar. Some wizards name this wand, or allow it to choose its own name, while others consider it a part of themselves. The familiar granted by echo bonding functions as a witch's familiar, except as noted below.
A wand bonded through echo bonding is an intelligent, semi-living object that may move through the air near wizard's body, typically over a shoulder or near a hand. The wand cannot move more than 5 feet from the wizard. If forcibly removed, the wizard takes Intelligence damage equal to the Intelligence score of her bonded wand. This damage cannot be healed or prevented, though it is recovered instantly when the wand is returned to the wizard's personal space. The bonded wand need not learn spells from other familiars, but can, instead, learn them from spell books. A wizard may add her two free spells known upon gaining a level to the list of her familiar's spells.
A bonded wand familiar also retains the magic of its original wand form. Casting spells from this wand functions as normal, though retrieving it is always a swift action as it flies swiftly to the wizard's hand from the nearby air. Once per day, the wand familiar may cast a spell it contains as a wand without expending a charge. This number of free casts increases to 2 at level three, and every two levels afterwards (at level 3, 5, 7, and so on).
This ability modifies and replaces arcane bond.
Craft Improvised Wand
At 1st level, an echo bonded wizard gains Craft Improvised Wand as a bonus feat.
This modifies and replaces the wizard's Scribe Scroll bonus feat.
Echo Etching (Su)
At 5th level, an echo bonding wizard gains Craft Wand as a bonus feat. Further, she gains the ability to etch the echo of her wand familiar onto a new wand if it is destroyed or lost, creating a new wand familiar. This process is much faster than the normal creation of a wand and may be performed using either Craft Improvised Wand or Craft Wand. All associated materials and costs must be assembled and paid at the beginning of the etching. The wizard must have a relatively calm and stable environment and 24 hours of uninterrupted concentration to perform echo etching. If the wizard sustained Intelligence damage from being separated from her wand familiar, that damage is healed upon the completion of an echo etching.
This ability modifies and replaces a wizard's bonus feat at level 5.

Sommar Place, Milton Keynes
Trivselhus – Swedish by Design
The development comprises 56 stylish Eco friendly new homes located in the Broughton Green area of Milton Keynes. Designed to help you live a more eco-friendly life each property comes with digitally connected accessories fitted as standard.
Each house is laid out in a Swedish style open plan arrangement with high ceilings to increase the feeling of space, triple glazed windows let in lots of light while limiting the loss of heat
Designed for comfort and built for the way you want to live, Sommar Place is your ideal home in Milton Keynes built by Trivselhus in partnership with Places for People
New i.d Interiors were commissioned by Trivselhus to design and furnish the show apartment house and marketing suite. Amrit Lattimore the lead designer for the project said "The brief from our client was to create a design which complimented and took into consideration the branding and methodology behind Trivselhus as a developer. The key to this was creating an interior which represented their foundation as a Property Developer; therefore, it was key to incorporate Swedish inspired styling to represent their identity.
The ceiling light in the reception room is the main feature and adds an interesting talking point, this along with the use of natural materials such as mango wood and textures such as sheepskins and heavy weaves bring a rustic but inviting quality to the interior.
I have contrasting textures along with soft pinks, greens and greys in the fabrics to soften the overall feel in the bedrooms, but the use of wood still features heavily throughout and is crucial to achieving this look.
Another significant Swedish element that I have included are headboard-less beds, and the use of scatter cushions and throws to achieve that 'lived in' feel. Swedish interiors often include interesting, yet simple interior details which I have incorporated through the use of feature lighting and interior accessories.

I handed the camera over to Ted for this photo shoot. Of course he did better at taking pictures. He did one horrible, terrible, unmentionable thing...he forgot to put her bow on! What is a mom to do? Anyways, Saydee turned 5 months yesterday. She is so much fun! She would much rather sit up, than be on her tummy for tummy time. She thinks that when she is on her tummy she has to only balance on her tummy. She puts her arms and legs in the air. If I thought I had to do that I would hate to be on my tummy too. One day she will figure it out.

Hunch turned investment vehicle
The beloved television home of The Brady Bunch has come to market after almost 50 years. This iconic residence is reportedly the 2nd most photographed home in the United States after the White House. Featuring perfectly preserved 1970's decor, it boasts one of the largest lots in the neighborhood — over 12,500 sq ft. Enormous, lush backyard gardens & lawn, completely private & serene.
You had to figure that this wouldn't sit unsold for very long, and sure enough, it didn't:
Discovery CEO David Zaslav made the announcement during this morning's second quarter earnings call with Wall Street analysts.
"One of our projects for HGTV will speak to those Brady Bunch fans on the call," he said. "You may have heard that the house from the iconic series was recently on the market in California. I'm excited to share that HGTV is the winning bidder and will restore the Brady Bunch home to its 1970s glory as only HGTV can. More detail to come over the next few months but we'll bring all the resources to bear to tell safe, fun stories about this beloved piece of American TV history."
So long as they don't try to flip it.

At the end of January we met friends for a special occasion dinner (our 'going away party', as we are soon to relocate to the Bay Area) which was, luckily for us, accompanied by some very nice wines. My predilection for all things Champagne is no secret, and there were two very nice bottles of bubbly to start us off, neither of which I had ever tasted previously.
Salon is a mythic creature, a single wine produced by a single house, and only released in certain years. And while I certainly appreciate a good Blanc de Blancs, I often choose to drink at the fuller, broader end of the Champagne spectrum. However, I was certainly not going to turn down a taste of this beauty given the history of the producer and my naturally inquisitive taste buds. (Also, I had brought the thing!)
Upon first opening, the 1997 Salon did not particularly impress me, I'm sad to say. Even in my burgundy stem, the nose was essentially hidden and the palate, though texturally quite impressive, offered very little besides a faint bread taste and chalk feeling. However, after 30 minutes or so of air (and warmer temperature) the stone fruit, lime, and chalk became more pronounced even as the texture smoothed to a point so far on the horizon most Champagnes don't even know it exists. It was quite wonderful, and its pedigree was clear.
The second Champagne is near and dear to my heart, even though I had, as of that dinner, never tasted it before in my life. My husband and I visited Champagne in the spring of 2011, and one of our favorite visits was to the house of Charles Heidsieck. We had a lovely tour of the caves, tasted the full lineup of Charles and Piper Heidsieck (both houses, completely separate for decades, have recently merged under the same parent company) and ended up deep in the ancient cellars, faced with a wall of dusty, cobwebbed bottles. Christian, our fantastic, exuberant guide generously offered to pop any bottle we saw in front of us, which is how we came to taste the 1983 Champagne Charlie that glorious spring day (and also how we came to be 30 minutes late to our Michelin-starred lunch reservation, but that is another story entirely). In any case, tasting that wine in that company in that place remains one of the highlights of our wine journey together. And any chance to drink another Charles Heidsieck creation is something we look forward to in a misty-eyed, reverential way.
The 1985 Champagne Charlie was an Oenotheque bottling, meaning it was recently disgorged from those very caves, having rested comfortably on dusty shelves since birth. I was, of course, fully prepared to adore this wine, which may have colored my notes. But wine is to be enjoyed, and while I appreciate the benefit of a fully unbiased approach to wine tasting, this was neither the time nor the place for such lunacy. The 1985 Charlie was simply my kind of awesome – caramel, biscuit, nutmeg, all that good stuff. I didn't take very complete notes because I was too busy loving the taste and the texture and the memory. I only hope that everyone tastes such a special bottle as this at some point in their lives – preferably while surrounded by happy and generous friends.

A robbery suspect gave a pizza delivery person a "baggy with marijuana in it" after robbing her according to a Spartanburg Police report.
The report says the delivery person for Marco's Pizza was walking back to her car from an apartment at Kensington Manor in Spartanburg when a man who appeared to be around 20, started walking towards her.
She says that she got to her car and the man pointed a gun at her face.
The gun was described as black and possibly a revolver.
He told her to give him all of the money. She said she gave him the cash and he lowered the gun and began to walk away.
She said he came back to see if she had any pizzas in her car. She gave him the food and he asked her if she smoked.
She said yes and he gave her a bag with weed in it according to the report.
Police tried tracking the suspect with K9s, but didn't find him.
The victim told police that she had saw the suspect standing with 5 other men when near the entrance of the complex when she tried to deliver the pizza.
She says none of the other men were involved in the robbery.
Contact Spartanburg Police if you have any information on this incident.

(aka.. THE JOURNAL ENTRY THAT'S REALLY CHEESY BECAUSE WE HAD TO RE-ENACT THE WHOLE PICTURE THING)
Although I hate to be a person who stereotypes, it's my opinion that parents can frequently be placed in one of two categories: obnoxious, or normal.
The obnoxious parent is sometimes the parent of a first born or only child (although on occasion, you'll find parents who are obnoxious about ALL their offspring.) The child is often still fairly young (reality hasn't come 'round and smacked the parent in the face yet, at least that's what I think!) These parents truly believe (erroneously, although they don't know it) that their child can do no wrong. That no child smarter, prettier, more handsome, or more endearing or charming has ever been born or walked the face of the earth. To put it less tactfully, to the noses of the obnoxious parent, their child's shit don't stink.
Surely you know someone like this? Someone, whose baby pulled up, sat up, crawled earlier than anyone else's baby? (For you see, *that* is the truly obnoxious part. These parents are competitive, secretly think *your* kid is an idiot, and make sure to tell you about every Herculean feat and Socrates moment their kid has … YAWN!) Someone whose toddler is going to completely skip pre-school because they can already read and do complex algebra? Someone whose child can run faster, skip better, jump higher, and in all ways, is more coordinated than your own?
A playground conversation amongst obnoxious mothers might sound something like this:
Mom #1: "Can you believe that when we went to buy Timmy's t-ball uniform, we had to buy three sizes larger than the other kids because he's so tall? I guess that's the reason he's the best player on the team, because he's physically superior to everyone else."
Mom #2: "Well, be glad Timmy's problem is physical and not due to sheer genius. I don't know what we're going to do with our little Johnny. His kindergarten teacher says he's already too advanced for all the workbooks she has in her classroom, and even his private Latin tutor admits that he's way beyond the basic level of her lessons. She says he could *teach* the older kids!"
Mom #3: "Oh dear, you know, our little Susie's problem is both physical AND due to genius. She is so far advanced for her age, and what "should" be her skill level in her violin lessons, that there isn't a violin on the planet small enough for her dainty little hands. It's simply a case of the musical brain being too advanced for the beautiful, petite fingers at this point!"
Mom #4: "Well, I have to admit, our problem is financial. Considering James (currently, four years old) will be getting his undergraduate degree in political studies from Harvard, then his medical degree from Yale, and then his second doctorate in global technical relations from MIT, I'm just not sure we can save enough to put him through school! Good thing for total academic scholarships, which I'm positive he'll get!"
{Tinkling, self-satisfied laughter all around}
Then, there are the normal parents. Parents who, although they adore their kids and deep, deep down, think they are also the most beautiful, clever, intelligent, delightful kids on the planet ….. these parents also have enough backbone to face a healthy dose of reality about their little angels.
Like the fact their two year old is obsessed with shoving beans up her nose, or eating play-doh, or that their four year old shows more interest in Dora than in potty training. That their six year old daughter is the biggest whiner on the planet when she doesn't get her way, or that their eight year old son finds farting hysterical, or that their nine year old daughter is a pack rat who can't keep her room clean to save her life. You know. Parents like that. Not that I *KNOW* any, or anything.
Kidding, of course. These are the kind of parents I much prefer to hang out with, and the kind with which I feel I have MUCH more in common. Our playground conversations are more along these lines:
Mom #1: "Well, we got an authorized notice from the principal yesterday that if Timmy head-butts one more kid on the playground, they're going to ban him from recess for life. Can they do that?"
Mom #2: "Don't feel bad, you know it's just a stage, like when our Johnny went around stealing everyone's dessert out of their lunch boxes. He finally stopped, but only after we threatened to take all of his Star War toys to Goodwill."
Mom #3: "Yeah, well, I've got you both beat. Despite being five years old and knowing better, Susie threw such a tantrum in Toys 'R Us yesterday when I wouldn't buy her a Cabbage Patch stroller to go with her Cabbage Patch doll that the manager came over and asked us to please vacate the store because her screaming was setting off the Pound Puppies and the entire aisle was howling."
Mom #4: "Sorry, no sympathy from me. I came home yesterday to discover James had shaved a four-letter word into the cat's fur."
See? *Those* are the kind of moms I prefer to hang with. I second guess my parenting skills often enough without "friends" making me feel worse because my kids are (gasp!) normal.
So ---- What is the point of that little tangent, where I try to prove to you that I am a normal parent, and that I recognize my children and their annoying idiosyncrasies? Because for a brief moment, I'm going veer off the path and be an obnoxious one, and I don't want you thinking that is the way I normally behave!
Announcement, Please --- We just found out that Kendrie was accepted into the gifted program for first grade in her elementary school!!!! Gifted, people, GIFTED!!! The fruit of MY loins, gifted!
She was so excited when she found out, this was her reaction:
(This is the part of the journal entry that is totally cheesy because we had to re-enact it. I got the notice from the school almost two weeks ago. But what with the delivery, and the chaos that followed, I completely forgot to tell you guys, so I'm pretending that its news to us now!)
And here, basically, is the thing. I wouldn't even say anything, let alone brag like this, under ordinary circumstances. Shoot, telling you pretty much ensures she'll flunk out the first week of school next fall, and then I'll have a big ole' egg on my face, won't I?
But you see, her circumstances AREN'T ordinary. Between the ages of four and six, she was diagnosed with cancer and underwent two-plus years of chemotherapy to get rid of it, including her entire year of Pre-Kindergarten, and half her Kindergarten year. She missed so many days of school that if it weren't for her Exceptional Student (Medical) Status, she could have been held back due to the school's absence policy. Days where she was in Atlanta getting chemo injected in her chest and her back and her legs; days where she took a nap in the Nurses Office, or came home early; even days where she felt too crummy to get out of bed and attend at all.
So to know that despite her challenges, she not only attended school, and passed, but THRIVED ---- it's so exciting for me that I want to shout the news out to everyone! I'm so proud that I'm considering renting a marquee somewhere, or tattooing my forehead with "Kendrie Rocks!"
I also tell you this because I know there are other cancer parents out there who follow our site. Many of their kids were diagnosed after Kendrie, so are still in the thick of treatment. I want them to see that there are kids who do well, despite the trials all these young patients face. Sure, who does well and who struggles more than their share ….. a lot of it is bold-faced luck and I won't deny it. But if your child is in still on treatment, or facing challenges, and you need a face to look to for inspiration, well, today I think that face is Kendrie's …. Frog chaser, scooter rider …. Gifted student.
I might be her mom, and this might sound incredibly corny, but when I see her face, I'm a believer. It is possible.
I love you Kendrie,
PS. But could you please just knock it off already with the whining, ok sweetie?
PSS. Can you even believe, after me publicly professing my love for Sonic cups and rabbit pellet ice (you people who have never heard of rabbit pellet ice … you have been severely deprived and need to get to a Sonic right now) that I got up tonight to make myself my nightly DDP ….. AND I DIDN'T HAVE A SPARE CUP IN THE HOUSE? OR THE CAR? OR ANYWHERE????
I was searching all over, getting all grumpy and angry and testosterony, and griping to Blaine about how he had thrown out eight cups too many the other night, when I suddenly remembered that my girlfriend Jadine (yes, the one from Pflugerville that I mention all the time) who knew about my Styrofoam cup obsession already and had sent me a care package recently with several dozen cups and lids in it!!!! Jadine, you are a lifesaver! Smooches!
PPSS. Speaking of kids who are struggling right now, two of the boys on my list-serve have relapsed and could probably use a note of encouragement: Cameron has had a long, difficult journey for quite some time and I can't help but believe this brave kid is more than due for a break .... but he just doesn't seem to ever get one. He has relapsed ... again ... please stop by his site and say hello. Also, Tyson finished his treatment for ALL last summer. This past May 24, almost a year later, doctors discovered he relapsed. Tyson is just beginning his relapse journey and I'm sure it would make him and his family feel great if you could leave a note of support in the guestbook.

GASS's role in various capacities as an organization working in the community for the poorest of the poor and having a development perspective has determined our strategic choices at every juncture – right from the fundraising methods we employ down to the nature of our interaction with the NGOs we have relationships with in order to refer people to these NGOs in case we lack the expertise in some areas that could be the area of specialization of another NGO.
Our interventions are thus engineered to include
1. Direct action addressing immediate, critical needs.
2. Community mobilization linking child rights, women's rights and rights of the PwDs and local pre-dominant issues.
3. Stringent planning, monitoring and evaluation both programmatic plus financial.
4. Our linkages take the form of.
5. Grant making to our own DPOs.
6. We prioritize grant-making basis district-level analysis of rights indicators of the various marginalized groups we work with – especially the PwDs and children as also women.
7. We identify grassroots NGOs and communities addressing these key issues too and work with them to bring lasting change.
8. Capacity Building: enable building of perspective and capacity in areas of
9. Children's rights.
10. women's rights.
11. Rights of the various PwDs including the people with mental health problems [psychosocial disability], people with Epilepsy, etc.
12. policy analysis.
13. advocacy.
14. Services for rehabilitation and mainstreaming of the PwDs.
15. accountability.
16. organization building.
Community mobilization: We believe this is the most workable long-term solution to the multiple causes of poverty, deprivation, exploitation and abuse that prevent the realization of the rights of India's marginalized populations. In recent years, we have spearheaded a concerted, state-wide grassroots campaign in partnership with our supported NGOs that aims to establish:
Authentic data on the situation of PwDs and women as also children, nutrition, providing for services of at least adequate quality, meeting their multiple needs, gendered differences, as of late we have started a children's helpline too with help from the central government.
Workable models to achieve universal access to education and elementary needs such as healthcare, livelihoods etc and combining direct action, community mobilization and policy influence with advocacy.
State-wide support from all segments of society for the policy changes including the amendment to constitution and ensuring fundamental rights and laws relating to accessing justice for the various marginalized groups.
Grassroots community mobilization aimed at ensuring universal access to equitable education, legal and health needs as also other crucial needs through policy making, services, legal and advocacy measures and implementation of policies ranging from rights of PwDs to the right to information. This is also in the context of women and children.
Networking and Alliance building: The aim of strategic alliances or networks is to facilitate the transfer of learning, build solidarity with other organizations and make an impact on policy to positively enhance the situation of India's marginalized communities. In short we interface with local government and other power structures and foster alliances with state, regional, issue interest groups.
Through supporting networks, we provide a platform for the various NGOs to get together, share and learn from each other's experiences. This enables the strengthening of field level initiatives. It also acts as a forum for perspective building on issues at the macro level.
nfluencing child-friendly Policies: While we consider the state to be primarily responsible for ensuring the rights of citizens, we realize that we too have a role to play in impacting and influencing government policies towards PwDs' rights, children's and women's rights. We approach this through national level advocacy and policy influence through direct interface with ministries, legislators, alliances, advocacy networks and coalitions and the media.
Resource Organizations: In the development sector there are numerous organizations that play a critical role of being a resource hub. These organizations have expertise in various areas of development, expertise that could enhance the quality of smaller, newer initiatives. These resource organizations work towards building the capacities of GASS's as also other development partners as well as non-GASS-supported initiatives. These organizations build capacities through innovative teaching methods, materials and training programs for teachers, community health workers, ANMs and DPOs among others. They also play a vital role in policy influencing efforts at the macro level.
Nodal Agencies: While we reach out to several organizations working at the grassroots level, there are many others across the state of Karnataka that require support. GASS may not be able to reach out to all of them. Thus, evolved the need for nodal agencies. A nodal agency is in many ways a mini-GASS, – an organization that offers both financial and non-financial inputs to smaller initiatives in the same geographical region. The creation and support of nodal agencies allows us to increase our reach at the grassroots level, without a corresponding increase in infrastructure and personnel.

The Duchess of Cornwall has spoken openly about the devastating loss of her mother, and the crippling disease that she suffered from. Speaking at an event for the National Osteoporosis Society, of which she is president, the royal revealed how her mother's death pushed her to raise awareness about the debilitating disease.
"I became involved [with this charity] in 1994 after watching my mother stoically suffering the appalling pain and ignominy of this devastating disease, which in the end resulted in her early death at the age of 72.
Camilla was the guest of honor at the National Osteoporosis Society reception Photo: Getty Images
"I was determined, for my mama's sake, to find out more and to find a way of helping others avoid the same excruciating pain and disregard that she, and many of her generation encountered," she continued.
To finish, Camilla concluded by saying, "We still have a long way to go. It is estimated that about three million people in the UK have osteoporosis. One out of two women over the age of 50 will break a bone as a result of it and I'm sorry to say that men don't get away with it either. One out of five of them will suffer a fracture too.
"I can only hope and pray that, with your help, the next thirty years will find a cure for osteoporosis, so that future generations will be spared its ravages."
The Duchess mingled with guests such as actor Richard E Grant and Sir Julian Fellowes Photo: Getty Images
The 68-year-old was supported at the event by her close family and friends including her son Tom Parker Bowles, daughter Laura Lopes, sister Annabel Elliott and Prince Charles's cousin Lady Sarah Chatto.
Also in attendance at the event was Downton Abbey creator Sir Julian Fellowes, a long-time supporter of NOS. "As you become older you become more aware of the illnesses that strike older people," he said.
"The Duchess particularly has been fantastically helpful – the amount of publicity and interest she can generate has been really wonderful."

wait so i been reading about this deleveling. what do you guys mean by that.is it important?if so how do i dlvl?and why should i delevel give me suggestions people thnx.
wait so i been reading about this deleveling. what do you guys mean by that.is it important?if so how do i dlvl?and why should i delevel give me suggestions people thnx.
only thing I know about it is you do it so you don't level up and stay under a certain level so you can continue to do content at a certain level such as staying 109 NW, staying 64 for CA2 or 124 for CA3 and staying under the level cap for the weak dungeons (so you can get the PC helmet)...etc.
The way I've heard you do it is by having a quest that sends you to a dungeon and if that dungeon subtracts EXP from you for failing the dungeon, then you fail that quest on purpose over and over until you current EXP bar is back at 0%. Not sure if you can actually lose a level beyond that though.
If I'm wrong (cause I've never done it myself so can't be sure) then someone else surely will provide the correct information....
Davynelord is right about the delevel, and No, you don't lose your level once the level bar goes below 0%.
Just so you know, you lost about 100k exp every time you purposely fail a dungeon so yeah, you gonna need to do it a lot.
I tried to deleveling by quitting the dungeon but it doesn't work, is there any other way to do it??
Not all the dungeon delevel you. When you do quests at your low lever, there are some quests that ask you to go to dungeon and if you die or run out of time in those dungeons, you will lose exp. If you have already done those quests, and is already high level, there is really no way to delevel, unless you want to spend millions in dungeon cards.
For Tier 2 War deleveling the lvl 96 Seal Quest and the lvl 80 Frozen Tower of the Undead Quest are real nice. You lose about 100k when you die in the Seal quest dungeon and 50k per death anywhere with the lvl 80 Frozen Tower of the Undead Quest. And they can both stack to boot sooooo you lose about 150k+ per death.

Mr.Black's problems
My name is David Black.I live in a small house.When I eat and drink,I am always worried they are dirty.So when I am hungry or thirsty,I don't want to eat food or drink water.And I never go out when the weather is cold or hot,because I am worried I'll have a cold.I don't go out often because I don't want to talk with others.I hardly exercise,but sometimes I take a walk in my garden.After I walk for a few minutes,I have to take a rest.I am always very weak and tired.I often have a headache,but I don't want to see a doctor.What should I do?

There has been a renewal of historical movies related to the Second World War with the success of Dunkirk. One of the recent offering is Darkest Hour, featuring the first part of Winston's Churchill time as prime minister.
Portraying Winston Churchill would be a challenge for any actor. I though John Lithgow did a great job in the Crown. But Gary Oldman was just as good in the Darkest Hour, in fact Oldman provided a more three dimensional picture of Churchill in his strength and weakness.
Churchill is sometimes put forth almost as a superhuman figure in the way that he rallied the people of Britain. While he was a powerful leader, he had his share of weaknesses. What I appreciated about this movie was that it showed that Churchill was not opposed just by Hitler but by many British politicians. For some, Churchill's disastrous plans for Gallipoli in the First World War was still fresh.
I wouldn't say that Darkest Hour had the same power as Dunkirk. They are two very different movies. But Darkest Hour had its moments, one of the best being the scene in the tube.
I recommend Darkest Hour as a good solid movie that presents one of the most crucial times in recent history.

For 41 years, Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips has wrangled some of the toughest, strongest, meanest characters in NFL history. Guys who floss with barbed wire. The men who haunt the dreams of quarterbacks.
Recently, Phillips took on a daunting assignment.
He was in charge of Petunia.
That's the pampered bulldog in the fluffy blue tutu pictured on his daughter's Instagram account. Tracy Phillips, a successful Los Angeles choreographer, asked her parents to dog-sit while she attended the MTV Video Music Awards, where she was part of a group nominated for its work on a Justin Timberlake video.
"She's a real talent," her dad said. "She knows dance, obviously. We had to watch way too many MTV videos when she was growing up."
The 71-year-old coach knows talent when he sees it. After all, he's something of a choreographer too.
He has a reputation for getting groups of men, some difficult, to head in the right direction.
Now comes the most delicate dance of his career. The Rams acquired three elite defensive players during the offseason — defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, and cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib — who all made headlines for bad behavior on previous teams.
Remember the Thanksgiving game when Suh stomped on the arm of Green Bay Packers lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith?
Or last season, when an angry Peters threw an official's flag into the stands?
Or Talib and receiver Michael Crabtree squaring off for a fistfight in Oakland?
That stuff happens in football from time to time, and history has shown that combustible personalities sometimes make for great players, particularly on defense. But it's a legitimate concern that the Rams have removed locker-room stabilizers such as even-keeled linebacker Alec Ogletree and replaced them with Nitro and Glycerin.
"It's a perfect match for Wade," said All-Pro Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller, who was most valuable player of Super Bowl 50 as part of Phillips' defense. "You could put the Alcatraz All-Stars on his team and he's going to get along with those guys. That's just the type of coach that he is."
Phillips, whose late father, Bum, was the legendary coach of the Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints, has an easygoing Texas temperament and a down-home sense of humor that simply clicks with his players.
"With coach Phillips, it's relationship first," Miller said. "He puts being a coach second. He relates to the guys, and you're like, 'Man, how's a 71-year-old relate to the guys?' But I think when you just drop your guard and show guys that you're vulnerable just like everybody else …
"You have these coaches come in and preach this, preach that, like a drill sergeant. With coach Wade, he's had so much success and he just lays it on the table."
Said Talib, who played for Phillips in Denver: "He grew up in the game, seen his pops do it. I think he learned a lot from his dad in terms of connecting with the players, how to vibe with the players. If you grow up in the game like that, it's like a second nature to you."
The way his daughter sees it, Phillips is anything but a football coach out of Central Casting.
"When I was growing up I had people ask me, 'Oh, does your dad come home and yell after games?'" she said. "I'd say, 'No, he's usually pretty quiet. Especially if we lose. It's not how he deals with things. He digs deep in his well and thinks about things.' He's not the yelling, screaming, made-for-TV dad."
Few people can match the NFL resumé of Phillips. The Rams are his 10th club, and that includes four head-coaching stints with New Orleans (1985, interim), Denver (1993-94), the Buffalo Bills (1998-2000) and the Dallas Cowboys (2007-10).
He took over as defensive coordinator when Sean McVay was hired in 2017 and has maintained an incredible streak. For the last three decades, every team Phillips has joined made the playoffs in his first season there — last year's Rams, the 2015 Broncos, 2011 Houston Texans, 2007 Cowboys, 2004 San Diego Chargers, 2002 Atlanta Falcons, 1995 Bills and 1989 Broncos.
"Wade's got great instincts," said Denver coach Vance Joseph, who was on staff with Phillips with the Texans. "He's got great timing, when to bring the pressure. Everyone assumes Wade just brings pressure. But Wade's calculated … he understands when offenses are vulnerable.
"Obviously, he's great with the players, he's great during the week. But on game day as a coordinator, he brings value to your defense. Great coordinators make their money on Sundays."
A hallmark of Phillips' 3-4 scheme is that he makes it as simple and uncluttered as possible so that defenders can play fast.
It's that old football axiom: When you think, you stink.
He also thinks it's important for his players to understand why they are doing something, not just expect them to blindly do it.
"It's always been that way with players," Phillips said. "It's never been, 'Hey, you do this no matter what.' It's, 'You do this, because this happens.'
"That started for me with Curley Culp," he said, referring to the Hall of Fame defensive tackle who played for him in Houston. "He played nose guard and he didn't like that because they double-teamed him.
"But he was smart. I said, 'Curley, if they double-team you, then somebody else is free on our defense. If they're using two on you, it helps us.' He was [makes a growling sound]. He didn't like it, but he knew it was true."
What's more, Phillips can relate to the players. He's on Twitter with the handle, "Sonofabum," has 169,000 followers and frequently makes self-effacing wisecracks.
When he turned 70, he tweeted: "They lit all the candles on my birthday cake — the fire department truck showed up within 5 minutes!"
Or, referring to McVay, 39 years his junior: "Rams have the only staff with DC on Medicare and HC in Daycare."
When he was defensive coordinator in Denver, and the Broncos defeated Green Bay, Phillips gently trolled Packers fans by putting a twist on a Peyton Manning Nationwide commercial jingle: "Chicken Parm tastes so good — I like it especially with Cheese."
"I try to keep it fun," Phillips said. "You've got to watch what you say. You don't want to offend anybody. I said, 'We caged the Lions,' and all the Lions fans got mad. Or when I did that one with the Packers, all the Cheeseheads were hating on me. It's just for our fans. You have to have fun with it."
Said Joseph: "Wade gets it. He's on Twitter, he knows Fortnite, he knows the music. He gets the personalities of players, he doesn't judge them. He's obviously an old-school coach, but he doesn't judge players. Whoever you want to be, you can be."

Presenter, Reporter
An internship on Breakfast while at Christchurch Broadcasting School led to Jack Tame's debut on One News as a 19 year-old reporter. From 2012, he spent five years as TVNZ's New York correspondent, working on stories from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Tame has covered the Rugby World Cup for CNN, and the Rio Olympics for TVNZ. For two and a half years he co-hosted Breakfast with Hilary Barry. In April 2019 Tame took over from Corin Dann as host of current affairs and political show Q+A. He also hosts the Saturday morning slot on Newstalk ZB.
It was a real rush, deeply satisfying, but it also felt like I'd got away with murder. I'd beaten the system, somehow usurped the vetting and the voice classes ... I think I appreciated that it was a bit rich to have a 19-year-old reporting on the six o'clock news. It felt audacious. Tame on joining One News, The NZ Herald, 2 February 2013
Seven Sharp debuted in 2013 on TV One's weeknight 7pm slot. It replaced long-running current affairs show Close Up. As TVNZ's primetime post-news show, it has hosted major events like the general election leaders' debate. Original presenters Alison Mau, Jesse Mulligan and Greg Boyed were replaced in the second series by two hosts: Toni Street and Mike Hosking. In 2018 Hilary Barry and Jeremy Wells took over. Seven Sharp's debut marked a television journalism shift from one-on-one interviews, to a more conversational engagement with events of the day.
Breakfast first aired in August 1997 on TV One. Screening five mornings a week over a three hour time slot, the programme mixes news and entertainment interviews with updates of news, sport and weather. The format of one male and one female presenter began with original hosts Mike Hosking and Susan Wood, and has included Pippa Wetzell and Paul Henry (who won controversy for Breakfast comments about an Indian politician), and Brit Rawdon Christie and Alison Pugh. A Saturday version of Breakfast was trialled in 2011, but abandoned the next year.
What Now? is a long-running entertainment show for primary school-aged children. Filmed before a live studio audience on weekend mornings, What Now? is a New Zealand TV institution; it was the first TV show to have live phone-ins. The series is known for its challenges that sometimes result in participants being 'gunged'. A roll-call of presenters includes Steve Parr, Danny Watson, Simon Barnett, Jason Gunn, Michelle A'Court, Tamati Coffey, Antonia Prebble, and more. 'Get out of your Lazy Bed' by Matt Bianco is the theme song memorable to generations of Kiwi kids.
In 1975 TV One launched with a flagship 6.30 news bulletin which went largely unchanged with the move to TVNZ in 1980. In a 1987 revamp, it became the Network News with dual newsreaders Judy Bailey and Neil Billington (replaced by Richard Long). In 1988, the half hour programme moved to 6pm. With the advent of TV3 in late 1989, it was rebranded One Network News; and, from 1995, extended to an hour. The ill-fated replacing of Long with John Hawkesby in 1999 saw it make headlines rather than report them. In 1999, there was another name change to One News.

A Facebook user identified as Anulika Nahnah Obiefuna, has taken to an infamous page on the social networking platform and opened up on why married men cheat on their wives with beautiful girls like her.
The well known Facebook slay queen, who is not shy to air her thoughts, shared a raunchy selfie of herself to the group and gave hints to married women on how they can keep their men, saying that wives should "be their husband's sluts."
Here's what she posted in full below;
"The reason why men cheat is simple.Once he gets married to you, then you stop 'slaying'. You turn to a sack of beans and start using ugly wrappers to cover your commodities. And start screwing with 'mommy and daddy' style. What happend to all those things he saw when he met you that made him wife you? Wear panties occasionally around the house.
"Red or black panties re nice. Be your husband's slut. It's you and him till both of you get old. All these women should stop turning to Virgin Mary once he puts a ring on it. Thats how your husbands keep eyeballing fine girls like us and promising us trips to Dubai."
