Khomeini Returns
Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini returned home from exile to a wildly enthusiastic welcome and declared his anti-Shah revolution will not be complete until American influence is expelled from Iran. "I beg the Almighty to cut the hands of foreigners" to loosen their grip on Iran, the bearded 78-year-old Shiite Muslim patriarch prayed before throngs of followers. Railing against "despotism and colonialism" that he said has perverted Iranian culture, Khomeini said Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi "has made the army follow the orders of another country". The movement to oust the Shah's government and establish an Islamic republic will be successful only "when the roots of colonialism are pulled out", he said. On the flight from Paris, Khomeini slept on the floor of his chartered Air France jumbo jet.

Public lecture: The Christ Initiation Mystery
- Mar 6, 2019 from 10:30am to 12:30pm UTC0
- Location: Community Coop, Main St, Ballyminoge, SCARRIFF, Co. Clare
- Description:
When we trace history and look for what purpose the word 'Christian' was and is used, it is no wonder that many people will have absolutely nothing to do with it ever again.
Yet the Spiritual School of the Golden Rosycross would like to offer a most profound depth to what the Christian initiation mystery really is. For the school, Christ is not a person, but a power which has descended from the original realm of humanity to awaken a latent spirit spark within our hearts and to assist us in recovering our True Being.
Come and join this free talk to discover more about this topic.

SUPP wants return of chairmanship position
SIBU: The Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) is demanding the return of the Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) chairman's post.
All five SUPP branches here want the next SMC chairman to be from the party.
Dudong SUPP chairman Wong Ching Yong explained that under instructions from the party president (Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hien), a joint meeting involving five party branches was held mid-April.
"The meeting was attended by branch chairmen and secretaries.
"After deliberation, it was resolved to nominate and fully support Datuk Chieng Buong Toon (SUPP deputy president) to be the next SMC chairman," he said at a press conference yesterday,
Wong said the party branches saw Chieng as the most suitable person to helm SMC.
"He is hard-working and approachable. He has been a councillor for 14 years."
Wong said Chieng's appointment would facilitate the development of Bukit Assek.
The current chairman, Datuk Tiong Thai King is from Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) who has held the post since 2004.
Tiong was previously with SUPP before he switched over to PSB.
PSB is a splinter party from SUPP set-up by Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh and his supporters following a leadership tussle.
SMC's past chairmen were from SUPP: Ting Lik Hung (1958-1959), Ting Chew Huat (1959-1963), Kong Sung Seng (Jan 1- June 30, 1963 ), Khoo Peng Loong (1963-1972), Lai Han Yu (1972-1978), Tan Sri Law Hieng Ding (1979-1981), Dato Yao Ping Hua (1981-1987), Datuk Ting Ing Mieng (1988-1990), Kong Sien Han (1991-1999), Datuk Robert Lau Hoi Chiew (1999-2004).

This week, the FDA warned parents not to use over-the-counter cough and cold medications in children under 2 years of age unless they have been given specific instructions to do so by a healthcare provider. Inappropriate use of such products has led to serious adverse events and even to death in some toddlers. There is little evidence that these products are effective in very young children and more evidence that they are unsafe. In October, the FDA will convene an expert panel to more thoroughly review this issue.
It appears that many of the reports of side effects stem from giving too much of the medication resulting in an overdose situation. Too much medicine can result from giving too large a dose, giving doses too frequently or by giving several different medications that might each contain the same or similar ingredients. Therefore, it is critical for parents to carefully read and follow the directions for use in the "drug facts" section of the product's label.
The FDA is offering the following advice:
- Don't use OTC cough and cold medicine in children under two unless specifically instructed to do so by a healthcare provider.
- Don't give medicine for adults to children. Only use products labeled for use in babies, infants or children (sometimes referred to as "pediatric" use).
- Carefully read and follow the directions for use in the "drug facts" section of the label.
- Dosing must be done carefully and accurately.
- For liquid products use the measuring device that comes with the medicine and don't use a kitchen teaspoon or tablespoon.
- If the product doesn't come with a dosing device you should purchase one at the pharmacy.
- If you don't understand the directions for dosing or the way the dosing device is used, don't use the medicine until you get proper advice.
- Cough and cold medicines only treat symptoms and don't cure the cold. If it is a cold the child will get better without the medicine. If the condition worsens or the child does not improve seek immediate medical attention.

With a strategic plan for 2019-2024 in mind, officials with the River Forest Public Library are seeking community input.
In the past, a specific committee considered the needs of the library, said library director Sue Quinn. This time, library officials want input from many different levels.
"What might work in one community might not transfer," Quinn said. "It's very community-needs focused."
A survey and a self-addressed, stamped envelope were mailed to all residents, and more than 600 were completed by the Oct. 15 deadline, Quinn said.
Listening sessions are scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 8 and 10 a.m. Nov. 10. The sessions are open to all; no registration is required, and refreshments will be served. Community members of all ages who'd like to share their thoughts in person are welcome to attend and voice what they like about the library and what they hope to see, Quinn said.
A session also will be held for community leaders on Nov. 2, to ensure opinions are sought from all stakeholders, Quinn said. Survey and listening session responses will be shared with the library board at its November meeting, she said, and the board will then draft preliminary goals.
Those will be shared with staff, who will provide feedback on the viability of the goals. That feedback will be shared with the board, which will ultimately choose the goals for the strategic plan, Quinn said.
She added library officials want to be sure the library serves the community as best it can, which is why a thorough process is ideal.
The current strategic plan, drafted in 2013, outlined many changes the library has since implemented, like a greatly expanded eBook collection, new shelving and displays in the adult department, an expanded teen and middle school collection, and front-facing browser bins in the children's department, according to a library news release.

I'm trying to synthesize data for a Monte Carlo simulation. I have a stationary random process $x$ and can readily estimate its covariance matrix $S$. I know that if the increments of the process are normally distributed, the Cholesky Decomposition
can be used to generate processes $y$ which posses the same covariance as the original process using
$Lv = y$,
where $v$ is a zero mean, unit variance vector with normally distributed elements.
Unfortunately the processes I am considering are not always normally distributed, but can be transformed fairly nicely using the Box-Cox transform. My question is: is it feasible to apply the Box-Cox transform $x_\lambda = f_\lambda(x)$ and use this process to estimate a new covariance matrix $S_\lambda$ which I could then use to generate the process $y_\lambda$. Finally I could use the inverse Box-Cox transform to get the process back into the original domain (which I need), i.e., $f^{-1}(y_\lambda)$?
Is such an approach sound? I'm concerned that something may be lost during the transformations or a bias introduced.

Whenever I thought about going back to school all I could think about were the obstacles that would be in front of me. I had left school long ago – graduating with my business undergraduate degree and I had desperately wanted to go forward to earn my MBA. Life, however, had other plans for me and before I knew it I was working crazy hours and raising two children on my own. The answer came for me in the form of online degree programs.
Being a single mother was enough of a challenge. My schedule left no room for another extra; I was already bending over backwards to get through my regular day. How would I possibly add school to an already bursting routine? Finances were another challenge. Going back to school was going to be expensive enough with tuition but the commute would throw the price into another stratosphere – between childcare, gas, tolls, and wear and tear on a car that was already on its last legs. There had to be a better way.

When I looked into online degree programs I knew I had found my answer to all of the obstacles before me. Through the online MBA program I could achieve my educational goals without any of the additional challenges that made the pursuit of my degree seem next to impossible.
An online university degree program would allow me to work from home on my degree without having to leave my children, juggle my work schedule, and come up with the extra money it would take for me to commute. Earning an online MBA is the perfect alternative to trying to fit in a traditional school schedule along with everything else I have on my plate at the moment; so I set to work to find the program that was right for me.

Hugh Jackman serves autographs and coffee to fans in Chicago. The star takes his fans by complete surprise.
Jackman is currently traveling around the United States for his tour of The Man. The Music. The Show. During the tour, he stopped by Chicago where he served coffee and gave autographs to fans.
The 5-year-old actor also shared photos of himself with his fans on Instagram on Friday. The pictures showed him offering cups of coffee from the inside of a black truck with the logo Laughing Man. He co-founded Laughing Man Coffee Company in 2011 with Steingard, a former criminal prosecutor in Brooklyn.
The Wolverine star captioned the pictures, "Big love to CHICAGO!! Thanks so much for turning out and spreading the @laughingmancafe love! @keurig#makeeverycupcount #allbehappy."
Jackman's Laughing Man Coffee has a storefront in New York City. Furthermore, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds paid a visit to the store in May 2018. After his visit, Jackman joked about Reynolds replying to their job listing for a barista.
He wrote on Instagram, "We put out word that @laughingmancoffee is looking for a new barista ….and, @vancityreynolds shows up? #makeeverycupcount."
Later, the photo appeared again in one of the Laughing Man Coffee Shop's Instagram Stories. The coffee shop wrote this message along with three laughing emojis, "Ok, he's hired!"
In 2009, on a trip to Ethiopia, Jackman met a young coffee farmer named Dukale. Dukale's goal was to get his family out of poverty. Jackman took inspiration from Dukale. After his return to New York, he wanted to provide a marketplace where farmers in developing countries could sell their products in the United States.
Jackman then created the Laughing Man Foundation. The foundation aims to assist social entrepreneurs worldwide through educational programs and community development. All of Jackman's profits go to the foundation.
In May 2019 Jackman started his first world tour called, The Man. The Music. The Show. He will be performing songs from the album, The Greatest Showman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The tour compromises of 88 shows. The singer will visit North America, Europe, and Oceania. Jackman began his tour from Glasgow, Scotland and will finish in San Antonio, United States in October 2019.
In the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours, Jackman has been appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia. His title is for "eminent service to the performing arts as an acclaimed actor and performer, global community, also particularly as an advocate for poverty eradication."
The Australian actor has played Wolverine in the X-Men film series from 2000- 2018. He also holds the Guinness World Record for "longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero." Jackman is also recognized for his lead roles in films such as Kate & Leopold, Van Helsing, The Prestige. Furthermore, The Fountain, Australia, Les Misérables, Prisoners, The Greatest Showman. He received a Grammy Award for Best Soundtrack Album in Greatest Showman. His work in Les Misérables earned him his first Academy Award nomination for best actor and his second Golden Globe award for best actor.

As we get older, our eyes can become hooded, where the skin of our brow becomes heavy and droops over our eyelids, covering our eyelids partially, or in some cases fully. When this happens we need to change our eye makeup technique to create a lift to our eyes and to fake the appearance of a crease. Here's how to update your eye makeup for hooded eyes.
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, see my disclosures here.
A few years ago, I looked in the mirror and realized I now have hooded eyes. I have other problems I noticed as well. My eyelids are getting a crepey texture. And my eyelids have freckles now, thanks to a misspent youth in the sun, as well as dark patches that affect the color of any eye shadow I use.
What to do? Well, for starters, I needed to adjust my makeup to my new reality. The routine I've developed over the years wasn't working any longer. Time to learn some new techniques.
So, I spent a lot of time watching tons of makeup and skincare videos on YouTube to see what tips I could learn to help me feel a bit more confident in aging gracefully. In the end, I developed my own technique, which works for me and my eyes. I hope you find it useful.
How to Enhance Aging Hooded Eyes
Here's an overview video of the process and the steps are described in depth below. You can find a longer YouTube video at the end of this post if you want more details.
Always Apply Eyeshadow Primer
Eyeshadow primer is extremely important for aging eyes for several reasons:
It keeps your eyeshadow in place. I notice more and more that my eyeshadow can tend to slip around the day. Eyeshadow primer keeps my eye makeup in place throughout the day.
It helps create a smooth surface for your eye makeup. My skin on and around my eyes is probably the most wrinkled and crepey skin I have right now.
If I put on eyeshadow without primer, it sticks to some parts of my eyelid and skips over other parts, leaving my eyeshadow looking messy and unfinished. I hate to use the word "spackle" in terms of the face, but primer really does act as a kind of spackle to even out the surface of the eye.
Primer gives your lids a consistent color and can brighten the eyelid. My eyelids have freckles now, as well as other dark areas. Using primer helps keep my eyeshadow colors looking the way they do in the palette, rather than taking on an undertone caused by my uneven skin tone.
I like to use a primer that's slightly lighter than my lid color because I feel like it helps brighten my eyelid.
Getting the Look
- Apply primer with a concealer brush or even your finger evenly over the whole eye.
2. Cover the Entire Lid with Powder to Set the Primer.
You can use eyeshadow for this step (I used White Chocolate in the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette) or simply a translucent powder applied with a fluffy brush. This sets your primer and gives a nice smooth surface on which to apply the eyeshadow.
3. Define Your Crease
Apply a medium eyeshadow shade with a small, flat eyeshadow brush slightly above your natural crease. Make sure you can see this when your eye is open! Extend it out only as far as the edge of your brow. Blend this down to your lid and up toward your brow with a fluffy brush.
4. Lightly Line the Lower Lash Line
Using a flat, liner brush, take the same color you used for your crease and line underneath your lower lashes. When you get to the outer corner of the eye, bring the color up toward your outer brow for just the width of the liner brush.
5. Apply Lid Color
Apply color over the lid, up to your transition color.
6. Define the Outer Edge of the Eye
Take a darker color and further define your crease and the outer corner of your eye by applying a darker shade slightly under your original crease-defining shade and using the same color to cover the outer third of your eye.
7. Highlight the Inner Corner of the Eye and Just Under the Brow Bone
Using a small brush and a bright, light color, highlight the inner corner of the eye then just under the brow bone to add definition.
8. Apply Eyeliner
Apply eyeliner using the method that best suits your eyes. Because I can sometimes have issues with eyeliners, I took a dark eyeshadow color and applied it just along the upper lash lane in a pressing motion to give depth to my lashes.
9. Curl Your Lashes and Apply Mascara
Curling your lashes helps give a lifted look that helps combat the look of down-turned eyes.
10. The Finished Look!
Other Great Tips for Hooded Eye Makeup
Looking for the videos I mentioned in my original post? I've created a YouTube playlist with all of those videos and several I've found helpful along the way.

Hedera Helix 'Tear Drop' is a fast and moderate growing vining plant, groundcover plant and perennial plant that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 3A through 11. It matures to an average height of 1 inch to 1 foot and an average width of 3 feet to 4 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides shade, morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun and grows best when planted in loam, clay or silt soil that is well drained. The foliage is medium green in color.
An award winning variety, 'Teardrop' Ivy has dark green leaves that are a unique teardrop shape. It has conspicuous green veins radiating out from the base of the leaf blade. This ivy is easy to grow and was awarded Ivy of the Year in 2002 by The American Ivy Society, and for good reason. It is especially lovely when planted in hanging baskets or along rock walls where it can cascade and trail.
'Teardrop is self-branching and easy to grow in pot or hanging basket or as a groundcover in garden beds, where it can also be used to drape over walls. In our garden it hasn't shown any signs of being invasive and others have reported it's hardiness and survival in temperatures of -15 degrees F. As with other ivy it will also cling to and climb walls and other porous surfaces.
Teardrop Ivy is very easy to grow and maintain with the right conditions. It will flourish in most garden soils, including heavy clay, but prefers well-drained fertile soils that are not too alkaline and do not stay constantly soggy or wet. Any time of year you can trim to shape when growth gets excessive and tie in to encourage climbing up trellises. It will survive heavy shade or full sun, however prefers some afternoon shade in hotter climates.
Tear Drop is another great selection for ivy lovers nationwide - we love how it performs in our gardens, both in containers and in the ground!

I wrote today's post last week, well before this past weekend's devastating weather. My heart goes out to those who suffered losses in the storms. Please note that my last tip involves the City of Atlanta. Unfortunately, many in the city are involuntarily without power this morning, and whether or not Atlanta will still be participating in Earth Hour 2008, I am not sure. Please check their websites for more info at a later date.
Being environmentally-friendly has never been so trendy, although I'm hoping it's here to stay! Here are ten quick and fairly easy tips for going "green" on St. Patrick's Day–and every day!
- Buy locally grown produce! Check out the Decatur Organic Farmers Market on Wednesdays from 3:00-6:00 p.m. at the corner of Commerce and Church St.
- Conserve resources by contributing to Georgia Power's Green Energy program.
- Start a compost heap in your backyard and put your leftovers to good use (check out your county Extension Office and watch for spring programs at the Library!).
- Dumpster-dive from the convenience of your own home with Freecycle.
- Bike, walk, or carpool to work.
- Swap out your light bulbs to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and save money and energy (don't throw them away, though–they contain mercury so be sure to recycle!).
- Don't throw away that old broken cell phone, radio, or VCR–recycle it! Check out the City of Decatur 2008 Spring Electronics Recycling Day at Decatur High School on March 29th from 9am-1pm. Information on regular local recycling locations can be found at Earth 911, DeKalb County drop-off locations, or at Your DeKalb Farmers Market.
- Conserve water by checking out these tips from the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management.
- Save money and the environment by using natural cleaning formulas. Check out a book for more info. (For more titles, click on "Title Info" and then on one of the subject areas for more books on those topics.)
- Participate in Earth Hour 2008. Join the City of Atlanta and thousands around the world and turn off your lights for one hour on March 29th from 8-9pm.
Small changes can make a big difference in the long run, and sometimes a small change in thinking can lead to an eventual and overall lifestyle change. Send us your tips for recycling, reusing, or reducing!

Head, Institute for Rehabilitation and Performance Technology IRPT
Research Associate, Reha Rheinfelden

Maintenance of fitness is vital for health and wellbeing, but how can patients with severe disability participate in exercise? The Institute for Rehabilitation and Performance Technology IRPT, together with clinical partner Reha Rheinfelden, has developed robotic systems for exercise testing and training.
Performance testing in athletes
Within the field of high-performance sports, it is common practice to evaluate an athlete's physical training status by carrying out a "max-test" on a treadmill or cycle ergometer. The aim is to take the athlete gradually to their limit of functional capacity, i.e. to exhaustion, over a short period of time. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing delivers two key outcomes which describe the functional status of the heart and lungs: the gold standard for describing the limit of aerobic capacity, which is obtained from a max-test, is the maximal oxygen uptake, referred to as "V-O-2-max" and denoted as V'O2-max; the maximal heart rate, HR-max, is also recorded.
When using a treadmill, the speed and slope are gradually increased with the aim of reaching maximal performance in around ten minutes (Fig. 1). The athlete has to run on the treadmill while the exercise intensity gradually increases, until he signals that he has reached his limit and can no longer continue – the test is then terminated.
V'O2-max is measured using a breath-by-breath spirometry system which involves the athlete wearing a face mask and a heart rate chest belt. The volumetric rate at which oxygen is taken up at the lungs (V'O2) and carbon dioxide is expelled (V'CO2) are directly measured. V'O2- max gives a direct indication of the body's ability to extract oxygen from the air, and to transport it via blood circulation to the muscles doing the work during exercise: doing this well depends on the integrative capacity of both central and peripheral physiological systems, including the heart, lungs and muscles.
The reason measuring V'O2-max is important is that, because it reflects the efficiency of interactions between the cardiovascular, pulmonary and neuromuscular systems, it gives a very direct indication of the athlete's overall fitness. This information can be used in two ways: to assess the effects of a training programme over time, by periodically re-evaluating V'O2-max; and to prescribe an appropriate level for training intensity, because this is often recommended to take place at a certain frequency and duration and at some percentage of V'O2-max or HR-max.
The rehabilitation context
Suppose now that we wish to measure the maximal cardiopulmonary performance of a patient with severe physical disability resulting from a stroke, a spinal cord injury, or some other neurological condition. The reasons for testing are the same as for athletes: to obtain crucial data on fitness and to allow the informed prescription of an exercise training programme. Because patients with serious impairments cannot use a normal system like a treadmill, the IRPT has focused its research programme on the development of robotic rehabilitation systems which facilitate exercise testing and training, and on the translation of assessment protocols from high-performance sports to this new and very challenging context.
The key is to adapt robotic systems so that the patient is able to perform an increasing amount of work over a short time by volitional activation of their available muscles. To do this, we provide patients with a biofeedback system which shows them a target level of exercise intensity together with a visualization of their own performance: the target intensity increases steadily over about ten minutes while the patient is instructed to exert themselves more and more to keep following the target. The test stops when it is clear that the patient has reached his limit.
The scientific evidence
We have used this principle to adapt both the G-EOSystem (Reha Technology AG, Olten, CH), an end-effector robotic device for walking and stair climbing (Fig. 2, [1]), and the Lokomat (Hocoma AG, Volketswil, CH), an exoskeleton-based system for treadmill walking (Fig. 3, [2]). At the IRPT, and in collaboration with our clinical partners at the Reha Rheinfelden, we recently completed a breakthrough clinical study where a group of severely disabled stroke patients trained for four weeks using the augmented Lokomat system. Overall fitness was assessed using max-tests implemented on the Lokomat. We found that V'O2-max increased on average by 20% even though the four-week training period was relatively short and the training intensity was moderate [2]: this is a rapid and substantial improvement in cardiopulmonary fitness early after stroke. In comparison, other studies have shown that, without a guided training intervention and just following the normal rehabilitation programme, this magnitude of fitness improvement can take up to six months.
The clinical potential
These very promising new results represent the successful translation of methods and protocols from the field of high-performance sports to the context of neurological rehabilitation. These are important and necessary steps towards the clinical implementation of effective cardiopulmonary exercise training and accurate assessments in patients with severe impairments.

Past events
Special trains mark last SAR railway passenger services to Quorn, 50 years ago
On March 10, 2019 Pichi Richi Railway marked the end of rail passenger services to Quorn
Pichi Richi Railway captured an unsung event 50 years later, when on March 10 it ran two special trains to mark the end of South Australian Railways' rail passenger services to Quorn.
Far back in late January 1969, SAR train driver, Len Brewster, entered a stifling hot Quorn station yard, completing the railcar's 95 mile journey from Terowie – for the very last time.
Driver Brewster turned off the motor of his railcar, grabbed his kit-bag and climbed down from the cab, and so ended SAR's rail passenger services to this small Flinders Ranges town.
Yx141 returns to service
Sunday 2 June 2019 - diary date
After 10 years of rebuilding and almost 2 years of testing, Yx141 will make its public debut and will be turned over to the Locomotive Department of Pichi Richi Railway.
Following the launch, Yx141 will make a return trip from Quorn to Woolshed Flat at 10:30am, followed by shorter Quorn to Summit shuttle trips from 2pm onwards. A limited number of tickets for the 10.30 am service are available for sale on-line and through the FRVIC. Shuttle service tickets will be available for $10.00 per person (children under 4 are free) on site on the day.
Centenary of opening of the Trans-Australian Railway
Pichi Pichi Railway ran a special train on Sunday 22 October 2017, to coincide with and mark the centenary of opening of the Trans-Australian Railway from Port Augusta to Kalgoorlie. At 9.32pm on Monday, October 22, 1917, the first passenger train set off from Port Augusta for Kalgoorlie. Once the line was open, it was possible to travel by rail from Sydney to Perth, via Quorn.
Our special train was steam-hauled by W22. The train departed Quorn at 8:30am, travelled to Port Augusta and returned at 5:00pm. The consist was all SAR cars – the closest we could get to the 1917 train which ran from Adelaide via Quorn to Port Augusta. Two Port Augusta to Stirling North return Shuttle Services were powered by NM25 and Yx141 was also present and in steam making its first public appearance after restoration.
2017: Centenary of completion of Trans-Australian Railway linking WA and the eastern states
2017 will be an important year for Pichi Richi Railway, Port Augusta and Quorn.
In 1912, work began on a new railway line between Port Augusta in South Australia and Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
Stretching across 1693 kilometres of Australia's driest and most isolated terrain, the Trans-Australian Railway was completed on 17 October 1917, providing a link between the eastern states and Western Australia and helping to give the newly formed Commonwealth a sense of national unity.
