Did you know that bravery was a prerequisite for parenthood? I have to admit, I didn't realize how often I would have to muster up my courage as a mom.
I think the first time it truly hit me was when I was in the hospital about to give birth. I have never been more frightened in my entire life. I wanted to run as far away from that place as possible. But then some deep-seated instinct kicked in, because I knew I had to be brave for the child I was about to welcome into this world.
Over and over again, throughout my eight-and-a-half years as a parent, I've had to be brave for my child's sake. Whether it was the first time I gave him solid food, let go of him in the swimming pool, sent him off to preschool, or watched him wave goodbye from the camp bus, each of these scary feats were actually critical steps in his development.
As most of us are well aware, there are so many more moments ahead (cell phones, overnight camp, dating, driving, college, etc.) when we'll have to be courageous for our kids, even if it feels like we are jumping off a cliff.
The latest bravery test for parents involves peanuts. Even though many of us grew up with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a staple lunch option, we now see peanut-free classrooms and lunchrooms, and are very cautious about serving food with peanuts during playdates and birthday parties.
This is because over the last 10 years the number of peanut allergies has doubled in countries where parents are advised to avoid peanuts during pregnancy, lactation, and infancy. According to CNN, two percent of American children currently suffer from a peanut allergy.
A peanut allergy is serious business. It can lead to anaphylaxis and even death if allergic children are exposed. Unfortunately, no treatment exists for this type of allergy, so the only option is to avoid the trigger. This causes inconvenience and panic on a daily basis for parents, schools, and others responsible for children's lives.
In fact, for years we've been told to not give our children peanuts at a young age because it could cause them to develop an allergy. Many parents, myself included, avoided giving their children peanuts until they were at least three years old, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). But many scientists now believe that exposing our children to peanuts at an early age will help their immune system to better tolerate the peanut proteins, and therefore prevent a peanut allergy from forming.
New guidelines issued this month advise parents to introduce peanuts into their children's diets as early as possible to protect them against peanut allergies later in life.
New recommendations
Collaborating with 25 professional organizations, federal agencies, and patient advocacy groups, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) just released new guidelines for introducing peanuts into a child's diet.
The recommendations fall into the following three categories:
Children who are believed to be most likely to develop a peanut allergy
This recommendation is for infants who have severe asthma, an egg allergy, or both. Parents have two options: 1) Either introduce your child to food containing peanuts at four to six months or 2) visit an allergist who will administer a skin prick test or a blood test to determine whether your child is allergic to peanuts.
If your child is not allergic, you can introduce peanut-containing foods at four to six months. If your infant is allergic, you should refrain from feeding any products containing peanuts.
Children with mild to moderate eczema
These children are less likely to have an allergy. You should introduce peanut-containing foods when your child is six months old.
Children with no eczema/food allergies, and no family history of either
These children can be fed peanut-containing foods at the same time they are introduced to other solid foods.
No matter which category your child seems to fall into, the experts still encourage you to consult with your child's pediatrician for help determining if your little one is at risk and how to safely add peanuts to their diet. It is good practice to keep your pediatrician in the loop when you plan to introduce peanuts in case there is an adverse reaction. (This is where the bravery really comes into play!)
Why the change?
Medical experts began to question the existing guidance on peanuts as they saw a major difference in the number of allergy cases in various countries depending on when children began eating peanut products. There were lower rates of allergies in countries where children typically eat high levels of peanut protein starting in infancy compared to countries like the United States where peanuts are avoided during the first few years of childhood.
As scientists explored this trend, they found that eating peanuts can actually help prevent allergies. This idea is known as the dual-allergen exposure hypothesis, which suggests that eating small doses of the allergen at a young age can help children develop a tolerance and reduce their chances of forming an allergy.
A large medical trial, known as the Learning Early About Peanut allergy (LEAP) study, led to these new recommendations. It is the first and only large, randomized prevention trial for peanut allergies. More than 600 children participated in the study. Each child was randomly assigned to one of two groups: The first group ate low-dose peanut-containing food three times a week starting in the first year of life and continuing to age five. The children in the second group avoided eating peanuts for the first five years of their lives.
The children in the first group were given peanut butter or Bamba, a peanut-flavored puff snack produced in Israel, instead of whole peanuts because they're a choking hazard for young children. All the children participating in the study were considered high risk for developing a peanut allergy due to family history or having eczema or an egg allergy.
At age five, the children in both groups were given peanuts and observed. The study found that 18 percent of the children who had been avoiding peanuts had a peanut allergy at age five, while only one percent of the children who had been introduced to peanut-containing foods at a young age were allergic.
According to experts who conducted the study, this result showed that early introduction of peanut flour had a prevention effect of more than 80 percent. They also evaluated the children a year later and discovered that all the kids who did not have an allergy at age five still did not have peanut allergy at age six.
Advice for feeding your child peanuts for the first time
You may be very nervous to feed your child peanuts for the first time. Fortunately, the NIH guidelines walk you through the best way to approach this risky moment:
1 | Prepare a full portion of a peanut-containing food such as:
- Peanut butter dissolved or thinned with water
- Peanut butter
- Peanut flour or powder mixed with a fruit or vegetable puree
- Several pieces of Bamba, a puffed snack containing peanuts that can be softened with water.
2 | Offer your infant a small part of the peanut serving on the tip of a spoon.
3 | Wait 10 minutes.
4 | If there is no allergic reaction after this small taste, then slowly offer the rest of the snack. According to the Mayo Clinic, typical allergic reactions to peanuts include runny nose, skin reactions, like hives or swelling, itchy or tingling in or around the mouth and throat, choking or gagging, shortness of breath, or wheezing.
It is a good idea to give your child the first bite of peanut-containing food during the day when your pediatrician is in the office. Keep the number handy just in case you notice an allergic reaction.
Feeding our baby peanuts for the first time may feel like risky business, but we now know that it's the best way to prevent an allergy from forming later on.

Among the values that led the project:
The structuring of the Space-Time ratio
Indeed, children will have various activities that will have to organize themselves in space to make the movements legible but also consistent with the various sequences that make up their day. This requirement is emphasized for children hosted on the site. The spatial organization prioritizes the different functions on the parcel to facilitate the identification according to the time of the day. For example, for the 16-20 age group, access to the workshops does not follow the same route as the meal time.
Spaces of transition and landmarks Displacement is an important issue; the ability of children to invest spaces is linked to the way architecture accompanies them. The simplicity of the spatial organization leads to a distribution of spaces that are easy to grasp and through which the treatment of colors, materials and signage make it possible to create a set of spatio-temporal landmarks.
Putting the path into perspective We organized the project so that the activities of the different age groups (units) can be seen to put into perspective the path of the child in the institution, to make him want to do, to go there, to participate. We have located the workshops near the main entrance so that they can be seen by all the children, especially the little ones. The 6/12 years go into their unit without crossing other spaces. They are supported on the 1st floor in their units, which are directly linked to a dedicated courtyard. They can observe the biggest in their outdoor activities. Growing up means being able to invest more broadly in the establishment.
Protective spaces We designed the spaces so that they are safe to allow a ritualization of everyday acts. Their design makes it possible to distance external stimuli to facilitate the concentration. A tool of work at the service of the Children. In order to make the staff more available to children, we have designed workplaces adapted to their activities. We have been vigilant about:
- the general organization of functions facilitating travel, control,
- the ergonomics of the spaces,
- the acoustic quality of the premises,
- the durability of the materials.
Flexibility and scalability
The constructive structure of the project will allow a transformation of the easy facilities, without major works. We know that today's truth is not tomorrow's; "When we freeze the walls, we freeze those inside". Eric Fiat - Philosopher.

Transparency Market Research

The ice cream industry was mainly started in 1905, and end-users started using salt brine as refrigerant and vertical tube freezer with ice. Ice cream is considered to be the main dessert in most of the regions including North America and Europe. Businesses that provide ice cream are able to generate a significant amount of revenue on a year-over-year (YoY) basis. It is important for end-users to keep food items such as ice cream and yogurt fresh and cold. Thus, end-users need quality ice cream freezers to cater to the needs of the customers. Ice cream is perishable; therefore, end-users must focus on storing the product at the right temperature so that the texture and flavor of the ice cream is maintained. To keep the ice cream hard to touch and thoroughly frozen, the ice cream freezer should store ice cream between -10 and -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Ice crystals will form which leaves a crunchy consistency, if ice cream begins to slowly defrost, and therefore, is an unsatisfying experience for the customer. When ice cream is ready to serve, the ideal temperature is -10 to 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
The ice cream freezers market is expected to expand at a good growth rate in the coming years. Increasing demand for replacements and upgrades of ice cream freezers, growing preference for ice cream freezers with natural refrigerants, and growing market for liquid nitrogen-based ice creams are the key factors that would drive the ice cream freezers market over the forecast period. The other factor driving the market is the fact that ice cream serves as a staple dessert across countries such as United States, and ice cream freezers are more competent as compared to regular freezers in keeping icy goods in good shape. In addition, with more people turning calorie conscious and opting for lower fat content, demand for premium quality frozen desserts like yogurt has been increasing, especially in the Americas, that is home to many food service industries and holds majority share in the global ice cream freezers market. There has been an increase in the number of organized ice cream parlors thus increasing demand for replacements of and upgrades to commercial ice cream freezers. One challenge in the ice cream freezers market is compressor failure. Compressor failure is a major cause of concern in the refrigeration industry. This can be due to electrical problems, contamination, loss or lack of lubrication, flood back, overheating, and flooded starts. Failure to maintain compressor pressure can also lead to failure of the compressor, which can spoil the food items stored in the freezers and cause economic losses. These problems can be avoided by timely inspection of the commercial ice cream freezer and taking corrective actions.
The ice cream freezers market has been segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. Based on type, the ice cream freezers market has been segmented into floor mount ice cream freezer and countertop ice cream freezer. In terms of application, the ice cream freezers market has been segmented into commercial and residential. In terms of region, the ice cream freezers market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.
Some of the key players operating in the global ice cream freezers market are Beverage Air, True Manufacturing Co., Inc., Carlisle Food Service Products, Haier Inc., Turbo Air Inc., Precision Refrigeration Limited, Summit Appliance, Victory Refrigeration, H.C. Duke & Son LLC, Master-Bilt Products, Husky Commercial, Nor-Lake, Inc, Metalfrio, Dvorson's Food Service Equipment, Tefcold, Hussmann Corporation, Middleby Celfrost Innovations Pvt.

I am dying to share our amazing experience @sarairesort. Guys, I'm so happy our choice fell on your outstanding hotel, a tranquil oasis in Siem Reap. Everything was top-notch from the very start, your staff members showed so much kind and caring attention; from offering complimentary drinks and lovely refreshing wet face towels every now and then, fruit platters in the room, best massage I've ever tried with a 20% discount to a free room upgrade to a suite with a terrace ❤. We were so touched to discover our palatial bed and bathtub had been decorated with fresh lotus flowers for our wedding anniversary ❤. A couple of words about our ultimate pampering experience in your SPA centre. A special thanks to Sreymao, an incredible masseuse, who took me to the height of relaxation! Am in love with your traditional Khmer massage! The therapists are so well-trained and dedicated. Offering a refreshing drink, a foot cleansing with salt and lime prior to a treatment commencing, no talking to each other to let clients enjoy a massage in peace and hot ginger tea afterwards. When you are lying on a massage table you are enjoying the view of a fresh lotus bowl through the breathe hole. Small details count! Look forward to coming back to your Moroccan-inspired resort, characterful and very Instagrammable swimming pool and immaculate service! Already missing your in-room mouth-watering breakfasts !

I loved our stay. The hotel is very clean and it was nice to have service come tidy our room twice a day. The staff was always very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The hotel location was a bit out of walking distance but very short tuk tuk to the liveliness of Pub Street.

The cooking class was great. The kids ages 13 and 16 loved it.
The rooms are not clean and the hotel is not maintained to an upscale level we expected. Paid $300 per night and for Cambodia is a lot. The showers need to be re-done. They are mold stains everywhere. The breakfast is good but very limited. Not a 5 star product.

Perfection! We already miss this place. The staff is so lovely, helpful, caring. We really felt so hosted. The restaurant food is really amazing. We had twice our lunch there and high't recommend. The breakfast also is tasty, not a huge buffet but doesn't need to. The pool is gorgeous. We arrive in the hotel after 48h of trip and had the surprise of being upgraded. Thank you so much for everything..

In an art world where the price of an original print by an established photographer is beyond mortal means, photo books are the next best thing. And like prints, the finest of them only seem to increase in value. Go to eBay and you'll find dozens of out-of-print titles, monographs especially, selling for much more than their original price.
A photography book is its own unique medium, of course, involving aesthetic considerations beyond those of the individual images it contains. Its success is in the sum of its parts -- picture choice and sequencing, sizing and pacing, production values.This year's best books go way beyond monographs and photo histories. Publishers are taking more chances to catch the buyer's eye, and not just with big, elaborately packaged tomes. This year we saw everything from photographic board books, a format that brings back memories of childhood, to diminutive volumes that make a virtue of their preciousness. (One of these, Kadir van Lohuizen's 5x5-inch Diamond Matters, has a rhinestone embedded in its cover.) Even Aperture, which can always be counted on for cutting-edge photography books, has produced its largest volume ever, Richard Misrach's handsome, 17x24-inch On the Beach.
The most daring of these books come from smaller publishers at a time when many of the big names in the business have not only cut back on the number of photo titles they release but also become more conservative in the subject matter they consider. We sometimes worry about the economics of photography books, wondering how, let alone why, so many get produced. But with the remarkable range of offerings we have seen this year, we won't look a gift horse in the mouth.

It has been reported that North Korea, which has remained silent about South Korea's proposals for dialogue, recently responded to a visit request from Hyundai Asan, saying it would "give an answer." Experts say that Pyongyang is using "Talk with the private, and isolate the public office" strategy, a variation from the proverbial strategy of talking with the U.S. and isolating the South.
On Monday, an official of Hyundai Asan confirmed over a phone call interview with the Dong-A Ilbo that the company sent a plan to the North to hold the 14th memorial service for former Hyundai Asan Chairman Chung Mong-hun at Mt. Geumkang, and that the North replied. According to the source, Hyundai Asan conveyed its will to visit North Korea by making a phone call to the director of the Beijing office of the Asia-Pacific Peace Committee, a North Korea's negotiation group with the South under the Unification Front Department of the ruling Workers' Party. On last Friday, the South Korean company emailed a business plan to an address it received from the North, and when Hyundai reached the peace committee by telephone to check if it had received the message, the committee said the message was well received and that it would give an answer (about the plan).
It remains to be seen whether the North will accept the request or not, but it appears that Pyongyang is interested in Hyundai's proposal, given that it has informed the company of an email address and promised an answer for the proposal. Hyundai Asan further explained that the official from the peace committee used to have contact with the company when it ran an office in Beijing six years earlier.
"Once the North sends a letter of consent guaranteeing safety, we will file a visit request with the Ministry of Unification," said the official from Hyundai Asan. "Considering the time for preparations, we hope that the North will provide the permit within this week." An official from the Ministry of Unification showed a positive response, saying, "The importance of continuing communications with the North, be it through the private or the public sector."

Support for the right-wing Liberal party VVD has taken a knock in the latest poll of polls, which gives the party of prime minister Mark Rutte 17.3% to 20% of the vote if there were a general election tomorrow.
Despite the recent drop – equivalent to up to four seats in the 150 seat parliament – the VVD remains well clear of the anti-immigration party PVV and the left-wing green party GroenLinks, both of which have 10% to 12.7% support in the new poll.
The Christian Democrats and Labour are both on 8.7% to 11.3% while the nationalist Forum voor Democratie is in sixth place on 8% to 11.3%.
Compiler Tom Louwerse says the four different opinion barometers which he uses to put together the poll of polls have wildly differing results when it comes to the drop in VVD support, but that the trend is clearly downwards.
It is unclear what the impact of Rutte's support for reducing the speed limit and other measures to cut nitrogen compound pollution is. According to research by EenVandaag, up to one third of VVD voters may be opposed to the speed limit reduction.
At the same time, the PVV has gained the equivalent of two parliamentary seats in the latest compilation, and is now heading back at its level at the March 2017 general election.
'The row which engulfed Forum voor Democratie in the summer would appear to have made the PVV an option again for the right of the VVD,' Louwerse told broadcaster NOS.

Raquel Welch: Biografia completa, filmografia completa, scheda Attrice
More a sex goddess than an actress, the statuesque Raquel Welch was one of the most popular celebrities of the 1960s and 1970s. While she appeared in dozens of films, they earned little notice, her success depending almost exclusively on her stature as a buxom pin-up. Born Raquel Tejada on September 5, 1940, in Chicago, she began taking dancing lessons as a child and by her teens was already winning beauty contests. At the age of 18, she married high school sweetheart James Welch; the couple had two children before divorcing in 1961. After working in Dallas, TX, as a waitress and model, Welch relocated to Hollywood in 1963; within three days, she had already landed a manager, Patrick Curtis, and soon they formed a promotions company, Curtwell Enterprises. After appearing in Life magazine in a revealing bikini, she began working on the ABC series Hollywood Palace, and in 1964 made her feature debut with an unbilled appearance in the Elvis Presley vehicle Roustabout. Welch next appeared as a prostitute in 1964's A House Is Not a Home, followed by another uncredited appearance a year later in Do Not Disturb. In 1965, she scored her first lead role in the pop musical A Swingin' Summer, resulting in a contract with 20th Century Fox, which cast her in the sci-fi hit Fantastic Voyage before loaning her to the British horror studio Hammer. There she starred in a 1967 remake of One Million Years B.C.; clad in little more than strategically placed strips of fur, Welch's publicity stills appeared everywhere, and she became a major sex symbol — still, few went to actually see the movie itself. Despite the publicity, Fox was clearly wary of her talents, and did not ask her to return to Hollywood; instead she remained in Europe, starring with Edward G. Robinson and Vittorio de Sica in 1968's The Biggest Bundle of Them All and with Monica Vitti and Claudia Cardinale in Le Fate. While in Paris, Welch and manager Curtis married, issuing a series of provocative wedding night publicity photos.
After appearing as Lust incarnate in Stanley Donen's seven-deadly-sins comedy Bedazzled, Welch finally returned to the U.S. Fox used her judiciously in pictures like the 1968 James Stewart Western Bandolero! and the Frank Sinatra mystery Lady in Cement. Following in 1969 was 100 Rifles, a controversial Western which paired Welch with Jim Brown, and a year later she earned her first real starring role in the disastrous Myra Breckenridge. Her situation was unusual; she was certainly a star and a household name, yet few people ever went to see her movies — neither 1971's Hannie Caulder nor the following year's Fuzz did anything to alter the dilemma, and when the 1973 roller-derby melodrama Kansas City Bomber also tanked at the box office, Welch divorced Curtis and returned to Europe to appear in Bluebeard. While both 1973's The Three Musketeers and its sequel The Four Musketeers were well received, she earned little credit for their success, and when the 1976 black comedy Mother, Jugs and Speed failed, Hollywood largely washed their hands of her.
Welch instead turned to nightclubs, concert stages, and television; she also continued making films in Europe, including 1977's The Prince and the Pauper and L' Animal, co-starring Jean-Paul Belmondo. In 1980, she was tapped to star in Cannery Row, but was fired a month into production; she filed suit against MGM for damages, and was awarded 11 million dollars. Welch spent the
entirety of the 1980s away from theaters, focusing primarily on television productions like 1982's The Legend of Walks Far Woman and 1987's Right to Die, in which she delivered one of her strongest performances as a woman suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease. After an absence of over a decade, in 1994 Welch returned to cinema in the comedy The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult.
Throughout the decade, she also made a number of infomercials and exercise videos, and in 1995 also starred in the short-lived nighttime soap opera CPW. In 1997, she took over for Julie Andrews in the troubled Broadway musical Victor/Victoria, which closed less than a month after Welch's debut performance. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

there is no antibiotic that i am aware of that you can buy over the counter for an ri. this is what i have done to cure it though. i got one of thoes heavy duty spotlight fixtures from the hardware store (make sure it has a ceramic base or can handle what you are about to put to it) the ones with the clamp and they have a aluminum piece that goes around the bulb. any way hopefully you know the one i am talking about. i get a 150 watt flood light and install it in the spot light. depending on the size of the sulcata i place the tort in a large rubbermaid container at LEAST twice the size of its body.turn on the spotlight so it is on half of the container make sure that the sulcata has plenty of room to get out of the light if it needs to dont overheat it! i usually place the bulb so that it is about 12 in. from the top of its shell. keep a close eye on it and feel the top of the shell after about 30 min. you want it to be hot kinda of like it has been sunning in the middle of summer, you dont want it to hot to where your like any body got some eggs? if its to hot of course back up the bulb. this is a solution i have used in the past as an alturnative to baytril or other antibiotics. yes the vet is the best solution but not always an option. i sent 3 to the vet this winter and it got pricey, about 300 with the scrip. also idk what part of the us you are in but it is warming up. the sulcata uses heat along with most other reptiles to activate its immune system. so it might just kick it all el natural. good luck!! i hope this helps

(Archived) Suggestion: new view mode
douglasrac replied to douglasrac's topic in General Discussion ArchiveThe reason is because Microsft is slow. There is already OneNote Mobile for iPhone and soon they will make for Android. That is not the point. I prefer Evernote. I think being able to type anywhere in the page, like OneNote might be a problem to view in any platform, but see the list of notes, just title without fragments is not a problem. That could be implemented no? I've seeing in the forum other users asking for the same feature.
REQUEST: Pure vertical list view
douglasrac replied to JMichaelTest's topic in General Discussion ArchiveI agree. Please add a simple Title view only. I don't want to see those fragments. Or better, just add notes on the tree view of the notebooks (first panel). That would be just perfect! Notebooks and below the notes inside them. There is no need to add a new panel just to show the notes. The Hierarchy panel is enough.
(Archived) Suggestion: new view mode
douglasrac posted a topic in General Discussion ArchiveI would like to have the view mode (list) but in 3 columns instead of vertically. The view modes are very limited. Like fragments would be perfect, but without the fragments. I just want to see the titles. It's hard to adapt for someone that came from MS OneNote. I also miss being able to type anywhere in the paper, not only in lines, like Word. I would like to type freely in any part of the note. I also miss being able to put little marks on the text, like an email icon, or phone icon. That helps a lot to keep organized. And in Evernote the best I can do is use bold, italic, etc. If there are already solutions to those problems, please advise.


text: Given birth to in 1959 in Waregam, Belgium, bandleader, composer, and reedman Peter Vermeersch started his musical profession taking part in clarinet and saxophone in the group Union, which in 1981 performed music for Echafaudages, a creation by the theatre group Radies. Vermeersch after that started collaborating with filmmaker/composer Thierry de Mey, and both published music for the 1983 dance creation Rosas danst Rosas. Out of this encounter emerged the music group Maximalist!, whose users included Vermeersch on clarinet, de Mey on percussion, Dirk Descheemaeker (Univers No) on bass clarinet, Jean-Luc Plouvier (Univers No) on piano, and Eric Sleichim on saxophones, amongst others. Maximalist! became a car for composing and executing music to accompany the dance productions of choreographer Wim Vandekeybus, and likewise to a saving of Rosas danst Rosas, the group's discography included Maximalist! (1984) and What your body Does Not Keep in mind (1989). Apparently sense constrained with the completely scored strategy of Maximalist!, Vermeersch produced the sax-fueled avant-prog clothing X-Legged Sally (XLS) in 1988; the group's lineup included Vermeersch on both clarinet and tenor saxophone, Plouvier on keyboards, and Sleichim on alto saxophone aswell as guitarist Pierre Vervloesem, baritone and tenor saxophonist Michel Mast, drummer Danny Truck Hoeck, and bassist Paul Belgrado. Like Maximalist!, XLS performed music for dance productions, but included improvisation and started incorporating more rock and roll- and jazz-based strategies. The band produced forays in to the NEW YORK downtown scene, executing on the Knitting Stock, and released two albums, 1991's Slow-Up and 1993's Killed by Charity, which were produced by Costs Laswell. Additional albums released by XLS through the '90s included 1994's Eggs and Ashes, 1995's The Property of the Large Dwarfs (for the Knitting Manufacturer Functions label), the 1996 live outing Fired, and 1997's Bereft of the Blissful Union, a cooperation using the Smith Quartet. X-Legged Sally disbanded in 1997; the group got undergone several personnel adjustments during its lifestyle, its latter-day incarnations including keyboardist Peter Vandenberghe, trumpeter Bart Maris, and vocalist Thierry Mondelaers. Upon the separation of XLS, Vermeersch shaped the avant pop/rock and roll band AN ORGANIZATION, having a lineup including Vervloesem and Mondelaers along with vocalist/keyboardist Anne Fontigny and drummer Didier Fontaine. AN ORGANIZATION released two albums, Quantity 1 and Quantity 3, and disbanded in 1999. Vermeersch released his most ambitious and longest-lasting task to day, the theatrical avant big music group Flat Earth Culture (FES), in past due 1998, although early variations of the group got performed at a children's music event in 1997 and got also appeared for the A Group Quantity 3 monitor "Porque Te Vas." With an 18-piece lineup including previous XLS users Maris, Mast, Vandenberghe, and Vehicle Hoeck, the big-band FES kept its 1st concerts in Ghent and Brussels in Feb 1999, accompanied by a live transmit on Belgian Country wide Radio (Radio 1), choices from which had been released on the Viakra label EP entitled Live in the Beursschouwburg in January 2000. In January 2001, the band's first full-length Compact disc, Bonk, premiered around the Zonk label, founded by Vermeersch after Viakra proceeded to go bankrupt. Over another 10 years and beyond, while keeping a relatively steady lineup of between 15 and 18 music artists, FES released a slew of albums like the theatre creation soundtrack Larf (2001); Capture as well as the film soundtrack recording Minoes (both 2002); the Louis Armstrong tribute The Armstrong Mutations (2003); Psychoscout (2006) and Cheer Me, Perverts! (2009), both released by Crammed Discs; Solution Songs (2009); as well as the band's 13-monitor 13th wedding anniversary 13th recording, 13 (2013). In 2004 a "best-of" compilation, comprised primarily of tracks from your Armstrong Mutations and Minoes, premiered on Mike Patton's Ipecac label. FES in addition has been involved with numerous musical theatre, dance, film soundtrack, and unclassifiable tasks over time, like the 2008 "existential range farce" Zilke and 2011's R.We.P. — Funeral Tracks, where the complete ensemble starts the show however the band is constantly on the shrink in proportions as the music artists "perish," one following the other, as the efficiency progresses. Furthermore to recordings with Maximalist!, X-Legged Sally, AN ORGANIZATION, and Flat Globe Culture, albums released under Vermeersch's name consist of De Oplosbare Vis (1995), Weg (with Josse de Pauw and Pierre Vervloesem, 1999), and Charms (2000). Vermeersch also co-produced (with Vervloesem) and performed bass clarinet on Most severe Case Situation, the 1994 debut record by Antwerp-based experimental rock-band dEUS.

Dentists Be Damned
During the eighteenth century, progress in anatomical investigation, and the acceptance of a localized, lesion-based, or solidistic approach to pathology, provided an intellectual framework for surgical innovations. From the patient's point of view, however, pain was a powerful reason for avoiding even the most desperately needed operation. Physiologists define pain as an ''unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage,'' which, nevertheless, is important to the maintenance and preservation of life. Pain provides an essential warning about trauma and injury, but it can also have strong negative effects on health. Usually, pain motivates behaviors that help prevent further injuries, but fear of pain kept patients from accepting the advice of surgeons and dentists.
Despite the fact that narcotics have been used for rituals and recreation for thousands of years, Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) reflected conventional medical wisdom when he said that nature offered only three natural anesthetics: sleep, fainting, and death. Experimentation with mind- and mood-altering substances is older than agriculture, but the potions prepared for ceremonial, religious, or social purposes were rarely used for the relief of surgical pain. Perhaps the powerful religious associations of intoxicants militated against their use as secular anesthetics. On the other hand, the magical agents used in ceremonies culminating in ecstasy and self-mutilation might have worked primarily through the power of suggestion. If the potion did not work, the person using the drugs was to blame for lack of faith. If someone died as a result of an overdose, it was the will of the gods.
Thus, it is unreasonable to assume that the preparations used to induce ceremonial intoxication would satisfy the essential criteria for surgical anesthetics: relief of pain must be inevitable, complete, and safe. Drugs that are appropriate for ceremonial purposes might cause unpredictable and dangerous effects in a person undergoing surgery. As statistics for deaths due to drug overdoses indicate, people are willing to take risks with recreational drugs that they would not find acceptable in medical procedures. In the religious context, death was in the hands of the gods; in the operating room, the responsibility belonged to the surgeon.
If anesthetics are ''tamed inebriants,'' then alcohol should have been the drug of choice for surgery. Alcoholic preparations have been used as the ''potion of the condemned'' and in preparation for ceremonial tribal rites, such as circumcision and scarification. Unfortunately, the large doses of alcohol needed to induce stupefaction are likely to cause nausea, vomiting, and death instead of sleep. Healers could also try to induce what might be called a state of psychological anesthesia by means of mesmerism, hypnotism, shamanistic rituals,
prayers, and the symbolic transference of pain to an animal or inanimate item. Such methods might not be inevitable and complete, but a mixture of hope and faith is likely to be safer than complex, impure mixtures of drugs and alcohol.
Various forms of self-hypnosis were used in India, but these practices require high levels of training, concentration, and self-discipline. The best known European version of psychological anesthesia was developed by the Austrian physician Friedrich Anton Mesmer (1734-1815). Although Mesmer's methods were criticized by physicians and exposed as fraudulent by skeptical scientists, including American scientist and statesman Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) and French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794), sensitive patients were easily put into a somnambulistic state by Mesmer's ''animal magnetism.'' Not surprisingly, physicians and scientists were generally suspicious of mesmerism, because of its close association with quackery. James Braid (1795-1860) coined the term hypnotism to separate the scientific study of mesmerism or ''nervous sleep'' from spiritualism and quackery. According to Braid, hypnosis was a subjective condition that depended on the suggestibility of the patient. Nevertheless, in sensitive subjects, the hypnotist could induce a state of somnambulism deep enough to overcome the pain of surgical operations. To demonstrate the power of this technique, a notorious French ''midwifery-mesmerist'' mesmerized women in a lying-in hospital and a lion at the zoo.
By the time European physicians began to take hypnotism seriously, the triumph of inhalation anesthesia was virtually complete. Somewhat out of phase with the tides of history, John Elliotson (1791-1868), lecturer on medicine at the University of London, founded a hospital for studies of mesmerism. He reported that even amputations at the thigh could be carried out under hypnotism. James Esdaile (1808-1859), who became interested in mesmerism while working in India, claimed that the mortality rate for more than two hundred operations he had performed using mesmerism as an anesthetic was less than six percent. Unfortunately, when he returned to Scotland in 1851, he found that mesmerism did not work as well there as it had in India. Eventually, hypnotism proved to be more significant in the development of psychoanalysis than in surgical anesthesia. The Parisian neurologist Jean Martin Charcot (1825-1893) used hypnotism in his clinical studies of hysteria, but considered the hypnotic state pathological in itself. Recent studies of the neuroendocrinology of pain may help explain the mechanism of hypnotism. Surprisingly, although hypnotism has generally been denigrated as ''mere suggestion,'' it is more likely to ameliorate ''real'' pain than ''imaginary'' pain.
Surgeons experimented with many methods of distracting the patient from the pain of an imminent operation. A direct, but crude way of inducing a state of insensitivity was to knock the patient unconscious with a blow to the jaw. This technique is not very specific or complete, but the surgeon might be able to extract a bullet before his patient recovered from the shock. Distraction could also be achieved by rubbing the patient with counterirritants such as stinging nettles. Pressure applied to nerves or arteries could induce insensitivity to pain, but it could also result in asphyxia and death. Even phlebotomy could act as a painkiller when it was carried out aggressively enough to induce fainting. Such bleedings were used in preparation for childbirth, reducing dislocations, and setting fractures. Such methods were too unpredictable to fit the criteria for surgical anesthesia.
Mythology and folklore are rich in allusions to wondrous potions such as the potion used by Helen of Troy to quench pain and strife. Unfortunately, the ingredients in the perfect painkillers of mythology were secret and mysterious. More accessible recipes for sleep potions typically contained so many dangerous ingredients that it was safer to inhale them than to ingest them. With inhalation, the amount of the active ingredients need not be calculated too precisely, because the inhalant could be withdrawn as soon as the patient was sufficiently affected. In contrast, an overdose of drugs swallowed or injected could not be recalled.
The medieval prototype of the ''sleep apple'' that appears in the story of Snow White usually contained opium, mandrake, henbane, hemlock, wine, and musk. Usually, the user was expected to inhale the fumes of the apple rather than eating it. The ''soporific sponges'' recommended by medieval surgeons contained similar mixtures. By the sixteenth century, surgeons were describing old favorites like mandrake as poisonous drugs that lulled the senses and made men cowards. In Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, Cleopatra safely used mandrake to sleep away the hours before Antony's return. Shakespeare alludes to various soporific agents, such as poppy, mandragora, and ''drowsy syrups,'' but these agents were unreliable at best. In the real world, surgeons found that drugged patients who slept like the dead during surgery often failed to awaken afterwards. Opium retained its favored status long after mandrake was discarded. Eminent physicians like Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689) and John Hunter (1728-1793) saw opium as a powerful drug and proof of God's mercy. As Hunter told a colleague seeking advice about treating a patient with a painful malignant cancer, the only choice was ''Opium, Opium, Opium!" In large doses, opium generally causes drowsiness and depression, but excitation, vomiting, headaches, and constipation are not uncommon side-effects. Opium and other opiates do not prevent breathing, but they do reduce the sensitivity of the respiratory center to carbon dioxide. Because the automatic drive to breathe is reduced, a person who falls asleep after taking such drugs may die. Opiates may also cause constipation, severe sedation, nausea and vomiting, repression of the cough reflex, or bronchospasm. Despite such problems, opium was used in cough medicines, sleeping potions, and soothing elixirs for crying babies. Some critics recognized the dangers of drug dependence, but opium remained widely available into the twentieth century. Soporifics and narcotics were also prepared from marijuana, hellebore, belladonna, henbane, jimsonweed, and enough miscellaneous greens to make a very exotic salad. Henbane, which was known as the poor man's opium, was recommended for insomnia, toothache, and pain.
Poisonous substances are present throughout the tissues of the ubiquitous jimsonweed, but the powerful alkaloids atropine and scopolamine are concentrated in the seeds. Reports of atropine-like poisoning in people who have eaten the seeds and washed them down with alcohol are not uncommon. Long used as a hypnotic and sedative, scopolamine became popular with twentieth-century obstetricians, who claimed that the so-called twilight sleep induced by a combination of scopolamine and morphine allowed scientific management of painless childbirth. Critics argued that twilight sleep was more effective as an amnesiac than an anesthetic. When this method was used, women experienced labor pains, but later forgot them and thought that the birth had been painless. Even though she knew that women had to be restrained when given scopolamine-morphine anesthesia, Dr. Bertha Van Hoosen (1863-1952) praised twilight sleep as ''the greatest boon the Twentieth Century could give to women.'' Van Hoosen devised a special crib to confine women undergoing this allegedly painless form of childbirth in order to prevent injury as they thrashed about and screamed. In 1915, Van Hoosen founded and became first president of the American Medical Women's Association. By the 1920s, skepticism about twilight sleep and the availability of other drugs ended the era of scopolamine-morphine anesthesia. Scopolamine has even been marketed for relief of seasickness, despite the fact that it can produce dangerous hallucinations.
Hemlock was the active ingredient in the infamous death potion given to the Greek philosopher Socrates (470-399 b.c.e ), who was condemned for corrupting the minds of the youth of Athens. Although clearly a dangerous drug, hemlock was sometimes used in anesthetic concoctions. The drug depresses the motor centers before the sensory centers are affected; this may be good for the surgeon, but bad for the patient. Surgeons were eager to find drugs that would produce muscle relaxation as well as analgesia. Curare, an arrow poison used by South American Indians, was brought to the attention of European scientists by naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt (17691859), who came close to killing himself in the course of this research. Curare does not relieve pain, but it is useful in surgery because it prevents movement and provides profound muscle relaxation. Since the state of paralysis induced by curare can be fatal without artificial respiration, it would not have been useful in nineteenth century surgery. Many decades later, surgeons would redefine the ''classical triad'' of anesthesia as: unconsciousness (or amnesia), analgesia, and muscle relaxation (where appropriate).

text: Hi everybody, My name is Dov and Talking Point is so new to me that I'm a little apprehensive. But here goes. My father-in-law, aged 95, lives alone and physically is in good shape. Several months ago he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and he has gradually deteriorated mentally since then. His irrationality centres mainly on 'intruders' getting into his flat and stealing items of clothing or food. When I ask how the intruders can get into his locked and bolted flat, he simply shrugs and says he doesn't know . . . but they DO. At least he is not frightened by the 'intruders.' They are more of a nuisance. It has now got to the point that I am so stressed, that I can neither relax nor 'enter into his world occasionally' as I have been advised by his mental health visiting nurse. I just want to scream whenever I approach his home and whenever the phone rings at MY home with reports of the latest 'theft.' Today, I saw my GP who upped my medication (I suffer from periods of depression) and also advised me to try Talking Point. I am a 68-years-old bloke who feels terribly guilty that I 'hate' my wife's father because his condition has impacted on mine. But it is not his fault -- and that's what kills me. Any advice would be sincerely welcomed.

Hello all,
Our much loved ECM Barrista has just now decided to empty the water tank through the very bottom of the machine. Im guessing theres a failed hose or fitting inside the covers and I dont have the skills or the tools to go digging.
We have always had it serviced by Supreme Coffee Machines since buying it three, but they seem to be on hiatus while relocating. Can anyone recommend where/to whom in Perth we could take it for emergency surgery?
Many thanks,
Sent you a PM

The Middle East's largest pay TV operator, ART, has claimed to have closed off the final entry point for pirates as it continues to rollout its latest set top box (STB).
Two of the instrumental vendors in the new system Viaccess and Open Tech have been demonstrating the related products at this year's IBC exhibition.
"Piracy is just theft at the end of the day and that is what we should call pirates – thieves," said Steve Bjuvgard, head of ART's anti-piracy unit.
"We have the Middle East rights to the 2010 and 2014 World Cup and with this new box we have made it literally impossible for pirates to access. There will be no illegal viewers of next year's World Cup in the Middle East."
Conditional access developer Viaccess said it believed the entire region would call upon its products once the effectiveness of the ART system had been proved.
Despite the optimism surrounding the progress made in securing satellite broadcasts, Bjuvgard admits that there is still work to be done to keep the company's content off online video portals.
"We have two members of staff dedicated to watching online video content and flagging up material that is ours," revealed Bjuvgard who also said he intends to ramp up co-operation with online platforms in the build-up to next year's World Cup in South Africa.

During that brief period, I had sex with both of them—one upstairs and one downstairs. Fwo both Esther and Iris have loved two people at the man in love with two women time, each really craved the old-fashioned romantic love.

Thus, later on in her life, when she had three potential lovers, Iris admits that "I don't like having three men from which to choose. I liked the simplicity of one.

How can human society cope with such emotional dissonances?
One approach may be to adapt our accepted norms concerning romantic and sexual man in love with two women to reflect the occasional dissonances of our reality, a change which has indeed begun to take place in modern society. Very very hot lesbians now allow their spouses to have more freedom in their personal relationships with others, and attitude is more flexible also concerning sex.

*Level 18 Landscaped Area * Private Residents Function/Dining Area *BBQ Area *Gym *Pool *Sauna *Spa
The five towers that constitute Riverina not only herald a new standard in luxury for the community of residents, they signify a bright new chapter in the history of Footscray. Serendipitously perched on the banks of the Maribyrnong and on the fringe of Melbourne CBD, Riverina's location is just as important to the quality of life enjoyed by residents as the thoughtful sophistication of life within its borders. With easy access to the walking trails and bike paths that whine & whine their way along the riverside, health and happiness reign in this community where indoors and out are given equal consideration. Within Riverina's apartments, openness and convenience define daily movements – from floor-to-ceiling windows that break down the barrier between outdoors and in right down to the quality fittings that contribute to the overarching sense of ease.

Apple recently updated its cheapest iPad and, to our surprise, increased its display size. Alongside that minor upgrade, we also now have support for the Smart Keyboard and the much more capable iPadOS, which split from the base iOS to become its own thing and propel the iPad tablets in the "laptop replacement" category.But, for $330, is this iPad worth your attention? Let's take a look!
|iPad 10.2 (2019)
|Main Takeaways
|It's the good old iPad looks with a hint of cheap-ish feel
|Runs great, offers all the perks of iPadOS, but its future is shrouded in uncertainty
|Well… it does have cameras, but they are not there to blow you away
|Can it replace a laptop?
|It can be used as a work machine or a multimedia machine, but compromises are felt
|It might be a great deal but there are better iPads to buy for the same price
Design and display
The new entry-level iPad has a familiar design — nothing crazy like the iPad Pro's all-around thin frame or Face ID. We've got the good old bezels and the good old mechanical home button with Touch ID fingerprint scanning embedded right into it. So, if you have owned a previous generation iPad for a while, you will feel right at home. The rather thick bezels doo look aged, but they still make it easy to handle the tablet with no accidental screen touches, so that's nice.Upon picking up the iPad 10.2 for the first time, it felt a bit on the cheap side. While most Apple products usually feel like they are densely packed with hardware and shrunken to as small a footprint as possible, this tablet feels light and hollow, implying you might be in economy class.
The display has grown just a little bit – from the 9.7 inches of previous generations to 10.2 inches now. It does make the whole tablet very slightly bigger than before and the increased screen real estate is noticeable.
It is an LCD panel and while it is slightly on the cold side, its colors look great, in typical Apple fashion. A pixel-per-inch density of 265 means that it's kind of sharp, but if you stick your face closer to the screen, you will make out jagged edges and individual pixels. And the whole panel itself is of the cheaper variety – it's not the laminated display of the iPad Air, where you feel like the content is ready to pop out of the tablet. Rather, the iPad 10.2's screen is very visibly "sunk" inside the body, hidden behind the top glass layer. In other words – it looks cheap.
Hardware and performance
Disappointingly, the iPad 2019 has the same processor as the iPad from last year. That's the Apple A10 Fusion, which debuted with the iPhone 7. In other words, it's a 3-year-old chip.
That said, I can't say that the iPad 2019 shows that its hardware is aging. On the contrary, the A10 is still a very adequate processor, especially when paired with iOS (or, in this case, iPadOS). The tablet runs snappy and fluid, plays Apple Arcade titles just fine, and any of the contemporary games or apps you find in the App Store support it. Sure, if you put it right next to the latest iPad Pro, you will notice that the latter is even faster, but the iPad 2019 can do its thing pretty well.
What may be concerning here is that the entry-level iPad is probably not very future-proof. Apple tends to support its mobile devices for about 4 or 5 years post-release. So, if the A10 is a 3-year-old chip, does that mean that the iPad (2019) will only get updated up to iPadOS 3 or so? We can't really know what Apple is planning, so there's a level of uncomfortable uncertainty there. Then again, it's a $330 tablet, so upgrading it in 2 or 3 years should be a smaller pill to swallow, right?
Actually, it's worth noting that $330 will only get you an iPad with 32 GB of storage, which is kind of bad in 2019. I only have a few of my favorite productivity apps and a couple of games on the iPad and I've already burnt through 20 GB. This means that transferring photos and videos to it in order to do some editing on the tablet will very quickly trigger my no-storage-phobia. We'll talk about storage and pricing a bit more in the conclusion.
Tablets usually don't get amazing cameras for a very simple reason — very few users are actually interested in wielding a large slate to record a video or take a picture. Still, they do come in handy for video calls or to take a quick snap of something around you when the tablet is right in your hands.
The cameras remain unchanged for the budget range — that's an 8 MP main camera on the back and a 1.2 MP Facetime cam on the front. For the sake of comparison, I picked up an iPhone 7 and took a few comparison shots with the two devices:
The laptop replacement
The iPads have been inching towards being "laptop replacements" for some years now, as Apple introduced things like Slide Over and Split Screen, a file browser, and even (gasp) USB Type-C with external file support for the iPad Pros last year.
But guess what – you don't need to shell out for an iPad Pro to get that "laptop replacement" experience. The iPad 2019 adds support for the Smart Keyboard cases with its own triple-dot Smart Connector on its side.
It gets the full suite of iPadOS with no corners cut — this means the improved multitasking, where you can slide apps in and out of a split screen scene with ease, USB flash storage (via Lightning-to-USB adapter), improved text editing with a cursor that is much easier to move from place to place, more icons on the home screen, the persistent Today View, the floating dock, and more. It even supports the new Sidecar feature — if you have a Mac or MacBook on MacOS Catalina, you can connect to your iPad via Wi-Fi or USB and use the tablet as a second screen for your computer.
Even when in Sidecar mode, the tablet still allows you to use apps in Slide Over or use your Apple Pencil (Gen 1) to draw on the screen. So, despite being the cheapest tablet in the Apple Store, it does not skimp on giving you the full iPad experience.
As a multimedia machine
Tablets are usually your portable multimedia machine. Easy to move around with you while doing chores in the house or to bring along on a trip so you can catch up on TV shows, movies, play a few games, or read some books. As such, the iPad 2019 does a decent enough job.
As mentioned, the screen is not the best, but it's passable — you can still watch a show without thinking to yourself "Wow, this screen looks amazing!". The speakers are stuck on just one side of the tablet and that tends to be annoying. They do sound good, with a decent amount of volume, good clarity, and pronounced bass. They can be a bit tinny at times, depending on the type of media, but are generally the better type of speaker you can find on a mobile device. They can definitely do the job if you want to watch a movie and have nothing else to connect to the tablet, but grabbing headphones (or a good Bluetooth speaker, placed properly) is the only thing that will get you balanced stereo.
Conclusion and buying advice
The new entry-level iPad is a pretty solid machine. It offers the baseline iPad experience for not a lot of money. But is it worth to take the compromises that it makes just so you can save some 100 bucks?
First of all, let's ponder who this tablet is for. The iPad (2018) was marketed as a device for students and schools. But, with its 9.7-inch screen, it was already kind of big. The iPad (2019) is even bigger so and I am having a tough time seeing it as a kid's tablet. Then, it could be for those that are only looking for a base iPad experience and don't want to spend a lot of cash. Or those that have never tried the Apple tablet and want to dip their toes in, possibly upgrade it to something better down the line? Well, both of these groups may be better off buying a different model.
Let's talk about media consumption. The screen – while not the worst thing in the world – is definitely sub-par compared to other iPads that are not that much more expensive. The 32 GB storage option is extremely limiting, so you won't be able to load it up with a lot of games or movies (although Apple would love for you to stream those). It can do well for book-reading, but — again — it's not the best the iPad family has to offer.
And the productivity people? Well, you can use it to dabble in the iPad experience with a Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil, but you will find the base 32 GB storage option to be useless. So, you'll have to go up to $430 for the 128 GB variant. And even then, you get a 3-year-old processor with an expiration date that's visible on the horizon.
Now… what else can $430 get you? Well, according to Ebay and Amazon, you can still find some old stock (open box status) iPad Pro 10.5 models for about $400 (give or take). These are powered by the Apple A10X Fusion (same generation as the A10, but slightly upgraded) and their storage options start at 64 GB. They have superior displays and quad-speaker stereo setups that are vastly superior to the iPad (2019).
If you absolutely need to go "New and from the Apple Store", $500 will get you an iPad Air (2019) that is thinner, lighter, has a better screen, and starts off with 64 GB of storage, which is much more acceptable than 32 GB.
And here's a tip: if you absolutely must get the iPad (2019) and are planning to outfit it with a Smart Keyboard — every Smart Keyboard is compatible with it. For the purposes of this review, I attached it to an old Smart Keyboard made for the iPad Pro 9.7-inch. And while it looked a bit funky, with a keyboard smaller than the actual tablet, it still worked. Do with this information as you will.
