Billions of
years ago, bacteria were among the
earliest forms of life on Earth. Today,
bacteria are present in the soil, in the
air, in water, on plants and even on
animals and humans.
There's no
escaping the presence of bacteria and in
fact, many of the bacteria we encounter
are beneficial to the environment and
even to the human body helping us to
digest food for example. However, some
bacteria can adversely affect the
everyday products we use in our lives

Early fossil
records suggest that fungi have been on
Earth for over 550 million years. And
some experts estimate that today over
1.5 million fungus species exist. Common
fungi include mushrooms, puffballs,
truffles, yeasts and most mildews. Fungi
are commonly referred to as mold and
begin life as microscopic airborne
spores that germinate on contact with
the surface of a nonliving organic
matter where moisture is present. Mold
is then able to penetrate the organic
material, secreting enzymes and
absorbing water and the digested sugars

present everywhere in our indoor and

nutrient sources. Look for products like

I started working in the graphics sector recently, I'm 34 years old and I'm completely in love with what I do. I have a beautiful and wonderful fiance who helps me out a lot…I love her so much! We are renovating our house so we can get married soon. I think that's it.
I was searching Google for a few weeks weeks to see if there was any company that offers a good service for website building…until then, I hadn't been able to find anything so interesting, because most tools are trivial, boring! I was looking for something with a little more, a tool that would give me the resources to create something easy and dynamic. I wanted to create a website that would excite and arouse my audience's curiosity, and I think I got it.
My experience with the Wix editor has been amazing! As soon as I login to my account, I can do all the tweaks I need and in seconds my website is already live with the changes…nice and easy. I want to keep using this for a long time to come.
Congratulations to the whole team, you are awesome!

Fantasy Flight Games Announces "Star Wars: Legion"
Per their press release:
"Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Star Wars™: Legion, a new miniatures game of infantry battles that invites you to join iconic heroes and villains, lead your troopers into battle, and battle for the fate of the Star Wars galaxy."
I loved what little miniature gaming I did in high school. Between this and "*Star Wars*: Armada", I'll be set for a long time. The only thing I didn't about miniatures was when they needed painting.
"With Star Wars: Legion, you can build and paint a unique army of miniatures."

Jeremiah 8:8-9:26
8 How can any of you say, "We are wise, because we have the Eternal's law"?
How little you care about the truth!
A pen in the hand of your teachers drips nothing but lies.
9 The day is coming when these so-called wise teachers will be put to shame;
their lives will be shattered when they are captured and taken away.
Why will this happen? Because they have rejected and perverted My word.
Are these the works of wise men?
10 This is why I will give their wives away to intruders
and their property to invaders.
Greed has corrupted this culture, from the least to the greatest:
everyone is tainted with this lust for what they don't deserve.
The prophets and priests are no better.
Their lives reek with deceit.
11 To heal the brokenness of My people, they offer superficial words.
They say, "Peace, peace" as if all is well, but there is no peace.
12 Do they feel any shame for their disgraceful deeds?
Absolutely not. My very own have forgotten how to blush.
And so it is that they will fall among the fallen and be defeated:
when the time comes, they will stumble beneath the weight of My punishment;
13 The harvest will soon be gone, a thing of the past.
There will be no grapes on the vine, no figs in the tree;
Even the leaves will wither and fall.
For what I have given so generously, I will now take away.
Some people in the land believe they know God's ways, but they don't. In fact, the ways they twist God's words and perform empty rituals only make things worse. Over and over again, prophets such as Jeremiah have attempted to describe the devastation that will result from the actions of those who refuse to listen to and really know God. As the invading army comes across the borders, some realize that what God has said—what the prophet has spoken in His name—is all coming true. God may long to bring His people close, to forgive and restore them, but it will not happen. They have refused both His forgiveness and His final warning, and so the enemy from the north is on the move.
14 People: Why are we still sitting here, exposed and waiting for death to come?
Let's get together and run to the walled cities and die there.
We are without hope because the Eternal our God has pronounced our judgment.
He has given us a cup[a] of bitter poison to drink because we have sinned against Him.
15 We were counting on peace, but none came.
We waited for a time of healing, but now all we have is terror.
16 We can hear the snorts of their warhorses as they charge into Dan;
at the thunder of their hoofs and noise of their neighs the whole land trembles.
They have come to devour us—our land and everything in it,
the city and all her citizens.
17 Eternal One: Look, I have released an army of serpents against you;
they slither like vipers across the land.
There is no hope of charming them.
There is no escape from their deadly bite.
Jeremiah: 18 There is no cure for my grief.
My heart breaks for what I see and hear.[b]
19 Listen, my Lord, don't You hear the daughter of our people weeping, crying out to You from exile?
"Is the Eternal no longer in Zion? Does her King no longer reside there?"
Eternal One: But Jeremiah, why have they provoked Me with their dark and evil practices?
Why do they worship these handcrafted idols, these worthless gods?
Jeremiah understands that the time for Judah to repent and change her ways is past. She has had her last chance, but that doesn't stop him from pleading with God.
20 Jeremiah: The harvest is over, summer has ended,
and we are not saved.
21 And because the daughter of my people is being ripped apart, I am ripped apart.
From within, a dark and cold hurt arises.
From without, I am strangled by the horror of it all.
22 Is there no healing medicine in Gilead, no balm that could help my people?
Is there no physician who can help?
Why is there no healing for the wounds inflicted on my people?
9 Jeremiah: O that my head were a spring of water
and my eyes a fountain of tears;
Then I could weep day and night for my poor people
who have been slaughtered.
2 O that I had a place in the desert I could run to,
a haven for travelers.
Then I could leave my people,
for they are all an adulterous and treacherous lot.
3 Eternal One: With tongues bent like bows they shoot their lies at one another.
Truth does not win out in this land; deceit always seems to triumph.
One evil leads to another because they don't know who I am.
4 Let everyone be careful of his neighbor,
and think twice before he trusts his brothers;
For every brother is ready to cheat and deceive;
every neighbor is prepared to lie when it suits him.
5 In this land of liars, friends have no misgivings about deceiving one another;
no one even thinks to tell the truth.
They've trained their tongues to utter lies;
they wear themselves out with all their sinning.
6 Jeremiah, you live in a place where deception is assumed;
as their lies pile up, they refuse to acknowledge Me.
7 Here is what the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, has to say:
Eternal One: Watch, I will refine this nation and put them to the test.
What else can I do with My people?
8 Their tongues are like deadly arrows;
they speak such lies;
Each one leads his neighbor with kind words
into a trap that was already set.
9 Should I not punish them for what they do?
Should I not repay a nation that acts this way?
10 Jeremiah: I will weep bitterly for the mountains of my homeland
and grieve for the death of her wild meadows.
For they have become a silent wasteland
where no one dares to travel.
Pastures once filled with the lowing of cattle, now are empty and lifeless.
All the animals have fled; even the birds have left the sky.
11 Eternal One: I will leave Jerusalem in ruins;
her rubble will be the haunt of jackals.
I will wreak the same havoc on the cities of Judah;
no person will be found there.
Jeremiah: 12 Who is wise enough to take all this in? Who has heard the Eternal speak and can explain His ways to others? Can anyone say why this land has been ruined and left a wasteland, a desert where no one dares to travel?
Eternal One: 13 I will answer you Myself. Because they have ignored the law I gave them generations ago. They haven't listened to My voice, and they refuse to walk in My ways. 14 Instead, they have stubbornly followed after their own hearts. They have chosen to worship images of Baal just as their ancestors taught them. 15 This is why I, the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies and God of Israel, must now take action. Look, I will now give them bitter food to eat and poisoned water to drink. 16 I Myself will scatter them among the nations—nations neither they nor their ancestors ever knew existed—and I will hunt them down with the sword and destroy them completely.
These images are too real, too vivid. Jeremiah tells of the people's judgment. He can't help but grieve for them and the land that was once a place of promise.
17 The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, has this to say:
Eternal One: Think this over, and summon the mourners.
Send for the women who will chant the dirge, that they may come.
18 Let them be quick about it: weep and wail,
that our eyes may fill with tears that streak down our faces.
19 Listen to the voice of sorrow weeping from Zion herself:
"We are ruined. All that remains for us is great shame.
Now we must leave this land that was ours;
they have torn down our houses."
20 Jeremiah: So listen now, women of Judah, to the word of the Eternal.
Mark His words well.
It is time to teach your daughters how to mourn,
time to teach your neighbors the song of lament.
21 For death has found us all.
It has crept in through our windows and slipped past our defenses.
It has cut down our children in the streets,
and our young men in the public squares. Death has found us all.
22 Tell everyone what the Eternal has said:
"The dead bodies of men will fall like dung on the open field.
Corpses will lie on the ground like grain cut in the harvest;
but on this day, there will be no one to gather and bury the dead."
Eternal One: 23 Let not the wise boast in their wisdom, nor the mighty in their strength, nor the rich in their wealth. 24 Whoever boasts must boast in this: that he understands and knows Me.[c] Indeed, I am the Eternal One who acts faithfully and exercises justice and righteousness on earth. These are the things that delight Me.
25 Look, the day is coming when I will set things right with all people. I will punish all those who are circumcised in their bodies but not in their hearts— 26 the people of Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, and Moab, and all who live in the desert and clip the corners of their hair. All these nations are really uncircumcised, and all of Israel is uncircumcised where it counts, in the heart.

Colossians 3:1-17
Paul knows the people in Colossae are facing many religious and philosophical options, none of which are neutral. Notice Paul doesn't say, "Just add Jesus to what you already believe," or, "Factor Jesus into your philosophy," or, "Include Jesus in this or that ritual." The claim that "Jesus is Lord" does not allow that. If Jesus is Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer of all creation, then all other teachings must give way. All people must bow before Him and only Him.
3 So it comes down to this: since you have been raised with the Anointed One, the Liberating King, set your mind on heaven above. The Anointed is there, seated at God's right hand. 2 Stay focused on what's above, not on earthly things, 3 because your old life is dead and gone. Your new life is now hidden, enmeshed with the Anointed who is in God. 4 On that day when the Anointed One—who is our[a] very life—is revealed, you will be revealed with Him in glory! 5 So kill your earthly impulses: loose sex, impure actions, unbridled sensuality, wicked thoughts, and greed (which is essentially idolatry). 6 It's because of these that God's wrath is coming [upon the sons and daughters of disobedience],[b] so avoid them at all costs. 7 These are the same things you once pursued, and together you spawned a life of evil. 8 But now make sure you shed such things: anger, rage, spite, slander, and abusive language. 9 And don't go on lying to each other since you have sloughed away your old skin along with its evil practices 10 for a fresh new you, which is continually renewed in knowledge according to the image of the One who created you. 11 In this re-creation there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian and conqueror,[c] or slave and free because the Anointed is the whole and dwells in us all.
Paul tells them the key to remain unified is to show compassion and forgiveness toward one another.
12 Since you are all set apart by God, made holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with a holy way of life: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Put up with one another. Forgive. Pardon any offenses against one another, as the Lord has pardoned you, because you should act in kind. 14 But above all these, put on love! Love is the perfect tie to bind these together. 15 Let your hearts fall under the rule of the Anointed's peace (the peace you were called to as one body), and be thankful.
16 Let the word of the Anointed One richly inhabit your lives. With all wisdom teach, counsel, and instruct one another. Sing the psalms, compose hymns and songs inspired by the Spirit, and keep on singing—sing to God from hearts full and spilling over with thankfulness. 17 Surely, no matter what you are doing (speaking, writing, or working), do it all in the name of Jesus our Master, sending thanks through Him to God our Father.

Psalm 78:32-55
32 Even after all this, they continued to sin
and still did not trust in Him
or in the incredible things He did.
33 So He abruptly ended their time; they vanished like a breath;
He ended their years suddenly, with terror.
34 After He took some of their lives,
those left turned back and sought God wholeheartedly.
35 After all they had endured, they remembered that God, the Most High,
was their Rock, their Redeemer,
36 But even then they tried to deceive Him with their words
and fool Him with a web of lies.
37 They were not consistently faithful to Him,
and they were untrue to their covenant with Him.
38 Yet by His great compassion,
He forgave them
and decided not to put an end to them.
Most of the time, He held back His anger
and did not unleash His wrath against them.
39 He was mindful that they were human, frail and fleeting,
like a wind that touches one's skin for a moment, then vanishes.
40 Oh, how often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness
and frustrated Him during their time in the desert!
41 Over and over again, they tested God's patience
and caused great pain for Israel's Holy One.
42 They failed to be mindful of His great strength.
They forgot all about the day He saved them from the enemy,
43 When He displayed all sorts of signs and wonders in Egypt,
and all the amazing things He did in the region of Zoan[a]
44 When He transformed their rivers into blood
so that they could not drink from their streams.
45 He sent armies of flies to bite and torment them
and hordes of frogs to ruin and devastate them;
46 He handed over all of their crops to grasshoppers
and the fruit of all their labor to locusts;
47 He sent violent hailstorms, which smashed all their vines,
and ruined their sycamore-fig trees with biting frost.
48 He handed over all of their cattle to the hailstorms as well
and struck all their herds with lightning.
49 He poured His burning wrath upon them—
anger, resentment, and trouble—
sending a company of heavenly warriors to destroy them.
50 He carved out a road for His wrath;
He did not spare any from the sting of death
but handed them over to the fangs of the plague.
51 He killed all the firstborn of Egypt,
the first products of their manhood in the tents of Ham, the Egyptians' ancestor.
52 But then He guided His people like sheep to safety
and led them like a flock into the desert to freedom;
53 He took them on a safe route so that they would not be afraid,
and He allowed the hungry sea to swallow all of their enemies.
54 He led them to His sacred land—
to this holy hill, which He had won by the power of His right hand.
55 He forced out the other nations which were living there before them,
and He redistributed the lands as an inheritance to His people;
He settled the tribes and families of Israel peaceably in their tents.

Tag Inspiration for Mixed Media & Art AugustAugust 16, 2018
It`s time for new challenge on Mixed Media & Art blog and here is my inspiration for you.
I created tag with lots of texture, using not one but two stencils.
First one with some rust paste and the second one with some sand paste.
Then I used pure sunshine color (what a beautiful name) art alchemy paint and finished with a composition of my old brushes and some small Prima flowers for a soft touch.
Finally I splashed everything with the orange rust paste diluted with some water.
And even with the flowers my tag looks perfectly grungy.
Don`t you think?
So I would like to enter with it on Stamps and Stensils challenge this month - Industrial/Grungy.

The dreaded meeting went much better than planned, though I'm still not best pleased with my oncologist. Still, I didn't have to fight; nor weep*; nor list my symptoms ad nauseum; nor threaten to go under the counter if need be – and I was seriously prepared to use some of those tactics, and feared others as unwanted possibilities. I filled out the usual form listing complaints and symptoms, told the doctor I was having a pretty rough time, and got a referral to another oncologist (this one's a gynecologist/oncologist) pretty quickly. Transdermal HRT has been mentioned – hoopla!
All of this sounds like good news for me – or at least a bit of sorely needed hope. I do feel an awful whinger – it seems as though most folks have their cancer year and move onwards without all this drama (assuming no recurrence and – knock on wood – I'm not in that reality as far as I know) and I haven't been able to. I feel as though I ought to be able to, and gods know I want to, and why aren't I already? I hate talking about it, I fear getting stuck in that logic trap, listing complaints until they're all I can see, all I think about – and yet not talking about it, trying to smooth the covers over the rough spots and pretend they're not there, lipstick and powder save the day: that's not a working solution either.
Honestly, this – these lingering "side effects" from the chemo and the quality of life they've engendered- has been harder and worse than the chemo itself. With the chemo, I knew it was going to suck, I knew it was for a limited time, and I had faith that it would reduce my risks for recurrence. It was suffering, make no mistake, but it was suffering with a purpose. During the good days, I felt pretty close to my 'self', albeit a bald self – I had energy and stamina; I slept well; my body was *mine*.
This, by contrast, has been utterly wretched, and I was utterly unprepared for it. Suffering without sense or purpose. Everything has been getting consistently worse; I keep trying different remedies and nothing works, or works in only in the most limited ways; things fall further and further apart. The second law of thermodynamics in action.
It could be a great quality of life – if I was eighty, and had eased into it gradually. At forty-eight, and with a six month or under decline – it's a bit rough, to say the least.
I see the new doctor this Wednesday. I choose seeing the oncologist over seeing my friends and the cherry blossoms in DC and didn't even grouse over losing the ticket cost, which gives you some idea of the reality.
Fingers crossed, boys and girls.
Meanwhile, spring has turned to insta-summer with a vengeance here – at least a month early. The crocuses are popping out, the mosquitoes are too; I've been sweating to get the spring clean-up underway before *everything's* up; the roofer's been sweating finishing up the roof repairs; it's been over 70 degrees already; and where it will all lead I shan't like to say. If I didn't know global weirding was a liberal myth, I might be seriously worried.
Luckily, I rest secure in my knowledge that this is just part of the *big* cycle and, anyway, *I* won't be around to see the worst of it. Roll on, you crazy carbon weevils, roll on!
*I've been doing a lot of that lately – it's utterly appalling. Thanks for the shoulders, folks, and all apologies for the salt stains – you can forward the dry cleaning bills.

Blackhawks: Home Sweet Home Chicago
(Photo: Blackhawks Facebook)
With roaring red welcoming them back to Chicago, the Blackhawks took a 2-1 series advantage over the Nashville Predators Sunday afternoon. They have another battle ahead Tuesday night.
Home Lights and Sounds
An on-ice projection featured the team's long-time "One Goal" motto–a mantra focusing on the ultimate goal, the best trophy in all of sports.
"For 82 games we grind, we battle, we will ourselves to win," Captain Jonathan Toews narrates. "To compete for a championship. It's one goal. To win the Stanley Cup."
With that and a traditional chill-worthy national anthem, home looked mighty nice for the Hawks.
Speaking of the anthem, it's become a matter of contention for those who haven't experienced it or don't understand it.
Chicago fans are not quiet while the stunning and powerful voice of opera singer Jim Cornelison performs.
"It's great that the crowd gets involved the way they do," Cornelison said. "They become part of the performance. They show what they're feeling and what they're thinking. To have the fans come up to you afterwards and high-five you — it's a tremendous experience.
"I have to stay emotionally even but, I have to say, a couple moments in the anthem, particularly before I do the hand gesture where I know the crowd is just going to explode, I always get a rush."
It isn't a sign of disrespect–not to the singer, the flag, the song, or the military. In fact, it's the opposite. The Blackhawks roll out a red carpet for Cornelison and members of the armed services (typically an active service member and at least one veteran) and fans cheer along as he sings The Star-Spangled Banner.
The tradition has a history dating before the United Center to the old Chicago Stadium, where some say fans united to empower Wayne Messmer's rendition after the Edmonton Oilers drowned out the U.S. anthem on their home ice and went ahead 2-0. Chicago gave the Star-Spangled Banner and the Blackhawks new life in their own stadium and the team went on to beat Wayne Gretzky's Oilers their next two home games.
Then, in 1991, when Chicago hosted the All-Star Game, the United States had just announced its attacks in the Persian Gulf War. The crowd held flags and signs supporting the troops and the showing of patriotism was broadcast overseas by Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr.
The rest is history. But it continues to inspire players, fans, and troops alike in this barn.
"It gives me goose bumps," forward Bryan Bickell said. "I can't imagine a better way to start a hockey game."
Hometown 'Tender
The Blackhawks were clearly inspired returning to Chicago 1-1 in the series.
Perhaps the most inspired was suburban Chicago native goaltender Scott Darling, who displayed his heroics in Game 1,and was back at it for Game 3. He stopped 35 of 37 shots in his first NHL playoff start.

Though the backup goalie has moved to the forefront for now, he's received nothing but support from team starter Corey Crawford.
"He's gone through a lot to get here and he's been playing awesome. How can you not feel good for him?" Crawford told Comcast Sportsnet. "I have to encourage him, keep pushing him to be his best."
In the meantime, Crawford, who hasn't been happy with his own performance, must be prepared to step in. "The only thing I can do now is be ready in case I go back in," he said. "Other than that, encourage the guys, stay positive and make sure the body language is good. Everything's positive around here. There's a nice feel around the room, nothing negative."
Home Ice
Seemingly empowered by their return to the Windy City, the Blackhawks struck first.
Johnny Oduya left the defensive zone with about 5:12 left in the first. He passed through center ice to Marian Hossa, who sent the puck to Andrew Desjardins, who shot from the right circle, then rebounded his own shot five-hole from the faceoff dot past Pekka Rinne as he was pushed to the ice by Roman Josi.
In the second period, Jonathan Toews would give the Hawks another short lead after Duncan Keith sent the puck to him, and he passed to Hossa, who dropped it back to Toews for a stick-side shot from the right hash-marks less than a minute after puck-drop.
Twenty-two seconds later, Mattias Ekholm would answer for the Preds with a shot from the top of the left circle set up by passes from Ryan Ellis and Smith.
Brandon Saad would snatch a puck from the Preds in his defensive zone and skate to offense for a top shelf solo shot less than two minutes later to regain the lead for a 3-2 score.
With 7:19 left in the game, Brent Seabrook scored through from the slot after Toews passed across the middle from behind the net off a gritty dish from Andrew Shaw.
"We put a lot of attempts at the net and lots of shots and lots of quality scoring chances," Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. "[Darling] made some big saves, some we probably wished we had another look at. They played a fast game [today]. I think it caught us a couple of times, even when we had pucks on the walls. It seemed like their speed from behind caused some quick turnovers, and they were able to come back at us."
Toews' one goal and one assist performance gave the captain his 23rd multipoint playoff game; there are only three players with more since 2009–teammate Patrick Kane (26) and the Penguins' Evgeni Malkin (28) and Sidney Crosby (30).
Hossa also had a multi-point game. the 36-year-old has four points (all assists) and is a plus-two in the three playoff games so far.
Seabrook on Hossa: "Every season he gets older but he looks younger out there on the ice." #Blackhawks

Mike Fisher remains day-to-day (lower body) for the Predators and Captain Shea Weber did not make the trip to Chicago. His status will be updated Wednesday.
The Blackhawks' lineup is expected to be the same as Sunday.
The two teams face-off again at 8:30 p.m. CT Tuesday at the United Center before the best-of-seven series heads back to Nashville. The game will be broadcast on CSN-CH, NBCSN, SN, and TVA3.

Warm weather hearing aid care
Preventing long-term moisture damage
Most modern hearing aids are water resistant, so you don't need to worry about being caught in a rain shower on the golf course, or an occasional splash while gardening.
But warmer days means more perspiration, which can lead to moisture building up inside your hearing aids. Moisture build up damages hearing aids and is a major reason they are returned for repairs. Over hot days, hearing aids need extra care to keep them dry. We recommend that you pop them into your dry aid kit on a nightly basis. At bedtime, open the battery drawer so the aids are switched off and place them in the container.
If you are prone to excess moisture build up, a good investment could be a hearing aid dehumidifier or dryer. Dehumidifiers are relatively inexpensive and start from $165.00 but can add years of life to your hearing aids. They are also as simple to use as your dry aid kit.
Preventing long-term moisture damage
- Remove your aids before showering, swimming, or water sports such as water-skiing, boating, or surfing.
- Do not leave your aids in direct sunlight or extreme heat in humid conditions (for example, on the dashboard or in the glove box of your car, or on the window ledge in the bathroom).
- Store your aids (and batteries) in a dry place in their protective case.
- Take care when using hairspray, hair products, sunscreens and insect repellent. Make sure products have dried before putting your aids in.
- Wipe your hands before touching your aids to avoid dirt getting into sensitive microphones.
- If your aids do get wet:
- Do not use a hair dryer to dry them.
- Remove the battery and leave the drawer open to dry out for a few hours.
- If you have a hearing aid dry kit or dehumidifier, put your aids into it as soon as possible.
If your aids have had ample time to dry, but you find that they cut out when noises are loud, or turn off and on, or that sounds are distorted or fade, or you hear a lot of static, first, replace the batteries, but if that doesn't solve the problem, send them in for repair.
If you need help with hearing aid care or accessories, or would like to talk to us about a hearing aid dry kit or dehumidifier, we are here to help.

For much of the country, spring has finally made it's long-awaited arrival. With warmer temperatures and longer days, many of us will take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy our favorite outdoor activities. But be wary — humans aren't the only creatures that like to get out and about at this time of year…
Singer Avril Lavigne found this out the hard way last year, when her 30th birthday was disrupted by the onset of Lyme disease, an illness that left her bedridden for 5 months.
"I felt like I couldn't breathe, I couldn't talk and I couldn't move," she said in an interview with People. "I thought I was dying." Lavigne went on to explain that she believes she was bitten by a tick at some point in the spring.
Unfortunately, Lavigne's situation is shared by many: In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control announced that Lyme disease may be up to ten times more common than previously thought, striking about 300,000 Americans each year.
This figure does not tell the whole story when it comes to ticks, however, as these small arthropods are capable of carrying a wide variety of other pathogens that can cause human disease.
So how worried should we be this spring and summer? I decided to dig into the evidence to find out. Here's what you should know:
What are ticks?
Similar in appearance to both insects and spiders, ticks are actually a type of arthropod — invertebrates with jointed legs — that belong to the same class of arachnids as mites. As an external parasites, ticks feed purely on the blood of other creatures.
Some ticks will only feed on a particular type of animal, while others are far less selective and will happily feed on other creatures if their regular host animal is unavailable. Additionally, the feeding habits of ticks can also vary across the four stages of their life cycle: egg, larva, nymph and adult.
Ticks locate potential hosts by detecting breath, odors, body heat, moisture, vibrations and even shadows in some cases. As ticks are unable to fly or jump, they wait for hosts on the tips of grasses and shrubs in a position known as "questing." When questing, ticks hold onto the grass or shrub with their back pairs of legs while their first pair of legs is outstretched, ready to climb onto a host when they brush past.
When feeding, ticks do not burrow into the skin. Rather, a tick will grasp the surface of the skin and insert its feeding tube. Some tick species will secure themselves further with barbs on their feeding tubes, or by secreting a cement-like substance.
Ticks can be very difficult to notice if you are not actively looking for them. Besides being quite small, ticks can also secrete saliva with anesthetic properties, numbing the area where the tick is feeding and preventing the host from feeling that the tick has attached itself.
Once attached, a tick will begin to feed. The amount of time taken to feed varies between species, but some ticks can take as long as several days to feed fully, after which they drop off of their host and prepare for the next stage of their life cycle.
While tick bites themselves can provide a small degree of discomfort, the real danger comes from the pathogens that some ticks carry. If feeding on a host animal with a bloodborne infection, ticks can ingest the pathogens along with the blood. These pathogens can then be transmitted to other hosts the next time a tick attaches itself to feed.
Lyme disease
The most common of all tick-borne illnesses is Lyme disease, a bacterial infection caused by the pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi. The classic symptom of this infection is a temporary bulls-eye-shaped rash that appears around the area of the bite, typically within 2-5 days.
However, not everybody who gets Lyme notices the rash, and some of the other signs of the disease resemble the flu: fatigue, fever, headache and chills (these symptoms are common to many tickborne diseases). If left untreated, Lyme disease can spread through the body, affecting the heart, joints and nervous system.
As a bacterial infection, Lyme disease is frequently treated with antibiotics such as doxycycline or amoxicillin. If the disease is allowed to develop over a course of several weeks, patients may require the administration of intravenous antibiotics, depending on the severity of the disease's progression.
Of course, not everyone who is on the receiving end of a tick bite ends up contracting Lyme disease. The risk of catching the infection depend on a number of factors, including the type of tick that has been encountered and the length of time it had to feed.
In the U.S., Lyme disease bacteria are only transmitted by blacklegged ticks, also known as deer ticks. Since ticks are not born carrying Lyme disease pathogens, they can only acquire the infection after feeding on an infected animal — typically a mouse. This is why larval deer ticks will not transmit these pathogens.
Blacklegged ticks are concentrated in specific areas of the country. According to the CDC, most Lyme disease infections are found in these endemic locations:
- North-central states, mainly Wisconsin and Minnesota
- Northeast and mid-Atlantic areas, from northeastern Virginia to Maine
- The West Coast, particularly northern California.
In 2013, 95 percent of confirmed Lyme disease cases in the U.S. were reported in just 14 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Being bitten by a blacklegged tick in one of these states still does not mean you will end up with Lyme disease. In most cases a tick carrying the Lyme disease pathogens needs to be attached for at least 36-48 hours before the bacteria are transmitted — that's why removing a tick promptly after being bitten can greatly reduce the risk of acquiring the disease.
Other ticks, other disease
The blacklegged tick can spread several other diseases to humans, including anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan virus, an emerging disease that appears to be on the move in the northeastern part of the country. Although it shares many symptoms with Lyme disease, Powassan virus differs in that there is no treatment currently available for it. According to Dr. Theodore Andreadis, of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, the virus typically causes more severe illness than Lyme disease and can even be fatal in some cases.
Powassan virus can also be transmitted much more rapidly than Lyme disease. "These ticks will transmit this virus when they feed within a matter of hours, whereas with Lyme disease, for example, ticks generally have to feed up to 2 days before they're capable of transmitting it," Dr. Andreadis told CBS New York.
Only 60 cases of Powassan virus have been reported in the U.S. over the past 10 years, most of which have occurred in the Northeast and Great Lakes region. In the past several weeks, ticks carrying the virus have been found in previously unaffected areas of Connecticut and New Jersey.
Of course, blacklegged ticks are not the only species of tick known to spread disease to humans: Across the U.S., a number of different species can be found that carry a variety of different pathogens potentially dangerous to humans.
The lonestar tick, found in southcentral and eastern U.S., can carry pathogens that cause diseases such as ehrlichiosis, southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI) and tularemia. Recent studies suggest that they may also transmit heartland virus.
The Rocky Mountain wood tick, found in the Rocky Mountain states at elevations of 4,000 to 10,500 feet, is also known to pose a danger to humans. These ticks can carry pathogens that cause Colorado tick fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) and tularemia. RMSF can also be transmitted by the American dog tick and the brown dog tick, which are found in most parts of the country.
Soft ticks, which lack the protective plate of other types of ticks, can transmit diseases such as tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF), reported in 15 states so far: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
The massive geographical spread of tick-borne diseases demonstrates that the risk of transmission is present anywhere that the environment is suited to the ticks.
Preventing and treating tick bites
There are a number of precautions that can be taken to reduce the chances of a tick attaching, feeding and potentially transmitting an infection. When questing, ticks are most likely to be found in wooded and bushy areas, with high grass and leaf litter, so either avoid or be cautious in these types of environments.
Clothing can also provide some protection from ticks. Wearing long-sleeved tops can protect the arms, and tucking pant legs into socks and boots can prevent ticks from having easy access to legs. Repellents are also available that can be applied to both skin and clothing. Those containing 20-30 percent DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) offer several hours of protection.
After being out in an environment that could be home to ticks, it is recommended that you conduct a full-body tick check, especially as it is hard to notice them without actively searching.
As stated before, prompt removal of ticks is crucial to reducing the risk of infection. Although specialized tick removal devices are available, a regular pair of fine-tipped tweezers is more than adequate.
Using the tweezers, grasp the tick as close to the surface of the skin as possible. With steady, even pressure, pull upwards. Twisting and jerking the tick can cause some of its mouth-parts to remain embedded in the skin. If this occurs, carefully attempt to remove the remaining parts with the tweezers.
Once removed, clean the affected area and your hands, and dispose of the tick by submersing it in alcohol, placing it in a sealed container or disposing of it down the toilet. Do not crush a tick with your fingers.
Ticks are most active in the warmer months, between April and September, so now is the time to be particularly wary of these questing bugs. Although ticks are capable of spreading harmful diseases, with proper caution they should not prevent you from being able to enjoy the great outdoors.

The BEST way to see the beautiful Grand Canyon! Fred was a great pilot and was perfect how he advised us to look right and then turn our heads as we entered into the Canyon!
Montana was a fantastic ground tour guide with lots of knowledge and insight to share. Unfortunately we were unable to do the helicopter portion due to poor visibility and weather conditions. Highly recommended tour!!
All in alll it was a great tour. All be it, my tour didn't quite follow the tour description. There was a plus and and a minus here and there. The pick up at the hotel was a great convenience. There was a small detour to Sedona to pick up others. This was a plus. It gave a great opportunity to see red rock country. Spent about 25 minutes there. Took a photo or two. Then onwards to Williams. Spent about 30 minutes there and few photos taken. Note, the views and vistas along the way were spectacular. Next up is the helicopter tour. Cause of smoke in the canyon the helicopters can't fly into the greater part of the canyon. We can't do the 45 min tour. We are offered an abbreviated '30 min' tour just across and back. Actual time almost 25 minute with a 30 refund. Still a spectacular experience but not what was expected or described. Then we spent about a half hour or so on the rim and then the return back. I would have liked to have spent a little more time along the conyon rim. The views may not have been crisp but were amazing. I don't when if ever I would have the opportunity to go to the Grand Canyon again. Notes: there's a lot of driving involved. There's a lot of distances to cover. You do spend most of your time in transport. There are ample pit stops. I wouldn't have called lunch a lunch. A ceasar salad , two Oreos, tiny bag of chips, and a small apple a meal. When there's an opportunity to get something to eat along the way, do so or bring your own meal with you. It's 13 hours. Water is provided.
This was breathtaking and was worth every penny! Highly recommend this tour!
The guide was very friendly and informative, the Helicopter tour was brilliant, and it was awesome to see the Grand Canyon from above in it's varsity. We did only get a very limited time in the park it's self.
If you are in the PHX area, this is the trip to do. They pick you up at your hotel, drive you up whilst stopping for some photo ops and lunch. The driver (I think it was Mike or Mitch sorry =( he was very knowledgeable and fun. Then they drop you off at airport for your AMAZING flight, they are waiting for you when your return to take you to a few more scenic spots before escorting you back to your abode on a very comfortable tour bus! I took my father on this trip and he loved it, it was a once and a life time event!
The guide was late at the pick-up but he was nice along the day. The helicopter great experience! We also enjoyed the rest of the tour, Sedona was a discovery
Loved this trip! I was scared of the helicopter but once I was in and flying I was fine. The pilot was so calming and showed us the Grand Canyon in perfect style. Our van driver Jason did a good job making sure we were comfortable and seeing what we wanted to see. It was a great day!
awesome flight over the canyon but would have been nice if we could have flown down into it for more perspective
This tour was great. Picked our family up north of Phoenix so I didn't have to drive. Robert our bus driver friendly and knowledgeable. BJ our pilot was very skilled at flying and has a good sense of humor. He made us all feel comfortable and we saw the Grand Canyon Like I never dreamed of! Thanks

Minority Nursing Scholarships
Minority Nursing Scholarships - Excellent Incentives for Students Who Want to Dedicate Their Lives to Caring for the Sick
Minority nursing scholarships provide wonderful financial opportunities for members of minority groups interested in working in healthcare, but worried about the costs of education. Offered by numerous private and professional organizations, by minority associations as well as by the Department of Health, these scholarships vary in terms of the size of the funding made available as well as in terms of eligibility conditions, so here are a few ideas about how to find the right programs and how to apply for them.
Types of Minority Nursing Scholarships
Nursing scholarships are available for minority students of all categories and at all levels. There are programs that propose to offer financial relieve for prospective nurses belonging to an ethnic minority such as Alaskan nurses, Indian American nurses or African American nurses, other programs are geared towards single mothers or other minorities. Scholarships are available for undergraduate and graduate studies, and there are many funding programs that provide financial aid for students interested in a certain field of nursing such as anesthesiology, oncology or the treatment of respiratory diseases in children. There are scholarships that encourage people to study nursing and then work in areas affected by the shortage of nurses, so regional incentive programs are also out there.
Where You Can Find Scholarships Geared Towards Minority Nursing Students
The best way to find scholarship programs is by checking the website of the Department of Health and the sites of professional associations and organizations. You can also check the scholarships provided by the nursing school you are attending or are planning to enroll into - even if your college does not have a suitable program, you can ask the school's scholarship office for guidance.
Eligibility Requirements and the Deadlines for Minority Nursing Scholarships
Each program has its own requirements - some are offered only to freshman students, others are for students in higher years. Some scholarships require the applicant to be a member of a specific professional association, while others are offered to nursing students who realize incomes under a certain level. The programs are just as varied in terms of application deadlines - if you carry out a little research, you will find that there is at least one scholarship that you can apply to each month during the year. Bear in mind that putting together a perfect application is a time-intensive activity, so the best way to maximize your chances of success is to start looking for the right minority nursing scholarships right away, to put together your own list of programs you may be eligible for and then to start submitting your application to each one of them.

"You're going to wake up one day behind on your rent and behind on your dreams."
That's a line from a motivational video I heard years ago that has stuck with me.
I'm not even sure that's exactly how the line goes, but I think about that possibility every now and again, the possibility that despite my educated efforts I could fall behind financially even at the total expense of some personal goal or wish for that matter.
The better way I've since heard this sentiment expressed was in a Jim Carey commencement speech where he talks about his dad being laid off from the accounting job his dad hated, the job his dad worked to support his family.
Jim told the audience of new college graduates, "You can fail at what you don't want to do. So you might as well take a chance on something you love."
This topic is on my mind again because after working Monday through Saturday this week at a 100% commission job, I sold 0 cars.
I'm behind on my metaphorical rent (thanks for the free couch dad).
And though I am taking that chance on a dream, I am behind on my dream as well.
The car gig was an opportunity to earn cash in a hurry. But to date it hasn't been anything to write home about. Last month I sold 9 cars and took home $5,200 before taxes. This month I'm way behind that schedule.
All the while, my mind hasn't be put to use on my own prosperity. And my mind is exactly why I have the confidence to pursue this million dollar mountain in the first place.
I trust my ability find a way to create seven figure value. But I'm not going to get there the I've been spending these past 5 months.
I need to get back to the drawing board. I need to finish this van.

Good and Bad
Before I toke this course on Rome, i thought all emperors of Rome were the greatest and the kindest leaders the world has ever seen. After a days in this course i came across a man called Nero, this man used to be the emperor of Rome, not only that he was the most hated man at the time. He was so hated because he was so cruel and rude to his people, and when he was in the Olympics its because he bribed the judges, and because of his status as emperor. Nero is considered responsible for the great fire of Rome, because he watched his city burn will he was playing the harp, and laughing uncontrolably.

Outstanding team performance pushes Marlborough Rovers all the way
Leicester City Ladies produced an outstanding performance against an unbeaten Marlborough Rovers side in the League Cup semi final.
Leicester City Ladies took the lead early when Lauren scored a fantastic free-kick. This is the first goal we had scored against Marlborough Rovers this season!!
Marlborough Rovers were quickly back in the game with a well taken goal and were soon in front when a long range free kick sailed past everyone including Leicester City Ladies goalkeeper Viv.
Leicester City Ladies defended brilliantly as a team, with everyone working hard for each other to deny Marlborough Rovers too many goal scoring opportunities.
Leicester City Ladies managed to keep the score to 2-1 at half time.
The second half was much the same with Leicester City Ladies frustrating Marlborough Rovers and limiting them to half chances. Any chances they did have, Leicester City Ladies goalkeeper Viv was equal too, producing some top quality saves.
Final Score: Leicester 1 Marlborough 2
The fact that in the last 3 meetings with Marlborough Rovers this season we had conceded 26 goals says a lot about the quality of the performance in this game. The work rate and the attitude of the girls was spot on and for once they actually believed that they could compete with Marlborough Rovers.
This performance will hopefully give the girls confidence for the County Cup Final on the 6th May where we meet Marlborough Rovers once again.
Player of the Match: I couldn't possibly pick out one player from this game, there were too many outstanding performances! The whole squad should be very proud of this performance.

The Federal Agency
of Speeding Myth
by Chad Dornsife
hose Flat Earthers really missed a bet. If theyd just had the foresight a few decades back to wangle a few federal millions to subsidize their cause, today thered be a massive federal bureaucracy devoted to flat-earth propaganda. The truths of flat-earthism would now be self-evident to all of us, and the eyes of Tom and Dan and Peter would twinkle from the tube each night with amusement at benighted red-necks who persisted in doubting the flat-earth gospel. Senators and congressmen, mayors and governors and corporate CEOs throughout the land would hustle and lobby every day to lower their hooks into the by-now-mammoth pork barrel at the National Flat Earth Safety Administration in Washington. And Bill Clinton on the radio each Saturday would plump for new national programs to keep The Children from falling off the (gulp) Edge of the World.
What brings these musings to mind? The central role the U.S. government has played during the last quarter-century in undermining American traffic safety. The fact is, we now have the equivalent of the federal flat-earth situation described aboveexcept that the billions of federal dollars are going into propaganda for programs that fly in the face of sound science and make our roads and highways more dangerous than they need be.
What happened was a classic Nanny-State phenomenon: Officious members of Congress thought citizens needed more hectoring about traffic safety, so they added propaganda functions to the mission of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). With the advent of the Arab oil boycott in the mid-1970s, NHTSA gained additional funds and clout as an agency able to deploy "safety" rationalizations in support of politicians push for fuel conservation. Professional organizations like the Institute of Traffic Engineering had already shown that the new national 55 mph speed limit would not in itself affect either accident rates or traffic speeds, and NHTSAs original parent agency, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), was similarly on record. Nevertheless, offered bigger budgets and a larger bureaucratic empire, NHTSA hitched its wagon to the coercive new national program.
Thus accelerated the wholesale transformation of NHTSA into a pure political propaganda agencyalways willing to wink at sound science whenever a lucrative political constituency showed up and wanted to be served. At the same time, a split personality was institutionalized for the U.S. Department of Transportationscience-loyal traffic engineers in the FHWA vs. NHTSAs ambitious and cynical bureaucrats.
Today, the overwhelming bulk of NHTSAs funding is spent on programs that do not increase highway safety. Instead, the agency has become a classic Washington bureaucratic horror story, actively working to the detriment of the public in order to serve only itself and its special-interest constituency.
That constituency is two-fold: The traditional place-holders at the federal contract mega-trough, and the modern multi-billion-dollar traffic citation industry and its beneficiariesall the local government jurisdictions, courts, bureaucracies and highway patrol organizations that prey on drivers by "enforcing" speed limits imposed in defiance of sound traffic engineering principles. Some car insurance conglomerates are players in the game, too. They like the speeding-ticket shakedown because it allows them to raise rates on ticketed policy holders even though most open-highway driving over the posted speed limit does not translate into any additional risk for the insured or the insurers.
NHTSA is key to the whole scam. The agency provides the credible-sounding misinformation upon which the fleecing of American drivers depends. While true highway safety engineering needs go unfunded, NHTSA spends hundreds of millions of federal dollarsone-third of a billion just in 1998to create and disseminate venally motivated urban safety myths. Accepted uncritically by a trusting public and busy members of Congress, these myths insure that drivers and legislators remain unwitting cash cows for the citation industry to endlessly milk.
A good example of the myths NHTSA works hard to spreadembodying them in torrents of press releases salted with misleading and even false informationis the anti-speed campaign launched earlier this decade when Congress was considering repeal of the national 55 mph speed limit it and Richard Nixon had imposed in a panicky 1974.Waving the Black Crepe s nationally syndicated automotive writer Eric Peters observed last December in the Washington Times, NHTSA had "predictedwith great relishthat an additional 6,400 motorists deaths would occur annually as a result of rising speed limits." Yet this was total propaganda, and the entire national traffic engineering community knew it. Decades of solid, peer-reviewed studies on speeds relationship to safety have demonstrated time and again that speed limits set closer to traffics natural rate of flow are significantly safer than those that attempt to impede that rate of flow [See "Does Nevada Really Need a Highway Patrol?", February, 1999 Nevada Journal].
To take a famous example, consider the West German superhighways, the autobahnen, where drivers are subject to no speed limit. In the most recently reported period, 1997, the fatality rate was only 0.74 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles driven. Contrast that with Nevada whichthanks to political lobbying by state highway patrol officershas the dubious benefit of a 75 mph state speed limit, and fatalities are 400 percent higher. Nevadas rate during 1997 was three deaths per 100 million vehicle miles.
Thus, notwithstanding the NHTSA propaganda, it wasnt really surprising what occurred nationally when the federal 55 mph limit was repealed. "Fatality and accident rates have actually declined since repeal of the 55 mph National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL)," the Peters article noted, "with the most recent data revealing 1997 as the year with the lowest traffic death rate in the nations history." [Emphasis added.] Dumbfounding NHTSA bureaucrats, science as a guide to events had once again proven far superior to agency dissimulation.Fighting the Light his instance of NHTSA disinformation was par for the agencys course. It has long used its powers to undermine sound engineering practices that actually do reduce accident rates. When studies commissioned by the Federal Highway Administration in 1984 refuted FHTSAs central hoaxequating a simple increase in highway speed with an increase in accidentsFHTSA blocked publication of the completed studies for five years, from 1992 to 1997, withholding them from Congress until long after the national speed limit had been repealed [See picture, this page]. To those of us who personally knew FHWA staff members and had already been passed copies of these very same studies, this was fascinating. We already had seen NHTSA turn deception of the American people into an art form, and now the agency bureaucrats, in their own self-interest, were also arrogantly perpetrating lies on their congressional sponsors.
The reason, of course, was that the linchpin upon which their entire bureaucratic empire appeared to depend seemed about to come loose. And finally, in 1995, it did. The s-wordsafetythat had been magic for 20 years suddenly was not. The new 104th Congress no longer was inclined to curtsey and genuflect. Wonder of wonders, they actually listened to expert testimony from traffic engineers and repealed the national 55 mph absurdity.
Of course no bureaucratic agency ever goes quietly into the night, and NHTSA, backed by its extremely powerful political constituency and the Clinton administration, has held on and even prospered. One trick used by NHTSA and other U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) agencies has been to use tax money to fund their lobbying of state legislatures around the country in behalf of NHTSAs citation-industry clients. The latter in turn would then, from the "grassroots," contribute to and campaign for members of the U.S. Congress and Senate willing to play along with the bureaucratic overlords in NHTSA and similar federal agencies.
Tired of this, in 1998 Congress amended the U.S. Code to say: "No funds appropriated to the [DOT] Secretary shall be available for any activity specifically designed to urge a state or local legislator to favor or oppose the adoption of any specific legislative proposal pending before any state or local legislative body." And while the DOTs Inspector General recently showed that department officials illegally continue these practices (which are never referred to the Justice Department for prosecution), NHTSA administrators now find it safer to orchestrate the process in the states from afar, through the use of proxies.
Those proxies are the state and local agencies here in Nevada and across the country that are addicted to the income and other benefits available from the citation business. In Washington, NHTSA uses its massive budget to fund and develop nationwide advertising campaigns designed in part to reinforce public misunderstanding of the relationship of speed and safety. Channeling federal funds into high-powered private advertising agencies (often incestuously staffed by revolving-door former NHTSA officials), the agency then takes the resulting propaganda product, and turns it into massive quantities of expensive printed and other media materials. Those materials are then supplied to police and other agencies in the states to put into the hands of those states lawmakers.
But not only do state agencies get pre-printed media materials from NHTSA with which to woo legislators and the public to their cause, they are also provided with pre-fabricated lobbying campaigns, complete with step-by-step instructions.
For program after program now, highway patrol and police agencies go to their state lawmakers using the same tactics: "If you pass this legislation, you will get $X in federal funding." Often the proposed legislation would make the state eligible for federal funds underwriting cool toys for the agenciesvehicles, enforcement radar, etc.
But perhaps the most potent way that NHTSA has been able to reach into the states and turn highway patrol organizations into willing agents of federal initiatives has been federal overtime pay. Nevada Highway Patrol troopers who go out on the highways to participate in NHTSAs and other federally subsidized "safety" programs can increase their take-home pay by thousands of dollars a year. Is it so surprising, then, that the NHP has become an active proponent of NHTSAs specious safety doctrinesto the detriment of Nevada citizens?
Well talk more about that in the final installment of this series, next month.NJ

Mentees block
Note: You are currently viewing documentation for Moodle 1.9. Up-to-date documentation for the latest stable version is available here: Mentees block.
A Mentees block is a frontpage block that provides mentors with quick access to their mentee(s) profile page(s).
The Mentees block, works from Moodle 1.8 onwards and may be added to the site front page or to My Moodle.
Adding the Mentees block
To the site front page:
- On the site front page click "Turn editing on"
- Choose Mentees from the Add a block drop-down menu
- If required, give the Mentees block a title by following the block configuration/edit link
To My Moodle:
- Access My Moodle configuration via Administration > Appearance > Sticky blocks
- Choose Mentees from the Add a block drop-down menu
- If required, give the Mentees block a title by following the block configuration/edit link
Block visibility
The mentees block does not become visible until individual "mentors" have been assigned a role that enables them to mentor other users who become their "mentees" (e.g., a parent mentoring a child, or a tutor mentoring a student). To assign a mentor to a mentee, the mentor must first be assigned a role that allows that mentor permission to view relevant user information (moodle/user:viewdetails set to allow). After having been assigned a role that grants viewing permission, the mentor's role must then be assigned to the mentee/user whose information they wish to view.
Mentor users logging on to the site will then be presented with a mentees block containing names and links to information about the individual users the mentor has been granted authorization to view.
Example usage
The Parent role is an example of a role which utilizes the Mentees block.

Standard sound-proofed music room
Example of a standard sized music room built to the highest soundproof specification
This case study exhibits the construction of a standard sized music room, built to the highest soundproof specification. Although not everyone requires soundproofing to this extent, reviewing a project like this is great to show what lengths we can go to in order to achieve a desired requirement.
In this case we executed, what we like to call, a "room within a room" method. When a "room within a room" is to be built there has to be acoustic insulation in each leaf (or thickness) of wall and roof panel which makes two thicknesses in two parallel walls. Subsequently, a third layer of insulation is fitted in the space between the 2 walls to create insulation that is of 3 layer thickness. If a client only requires mid-range soundproofing then this insulation technique is sufficient.
However, if like the client cited in this case study, you require soundproofing for bass and high pitches, then a multi-layer method must be used. In this case a second form of insulation is installed which includes rubber sheeting, strips, layers of special dense acoustic boards and insulation applied to the outside of the outer walls prior to membranes and claddings.
Unlike all of our other garden rooms, soundproof rooms, with their dense "soundbloc" linings, are too heavy to be prebuilt in our workshop. For example a "room within a room" building such as this has 8 walls and 2 ceilings and dense extra layers on the floor. To put it into perspective; 3 tons of extra dense plasterboard went into this building.
In the gallery below you can see a number of images documenting the gradual construction of this soundproofed music room.
- Sliders for the soundproof window shutters ready to be fitted for the external wall (the internal walls have the same soundproof shutters fitted). Both the inner wall and outer wall doors are solid and are treated similarly so sound cannot escape
- The walls before the doorway is fitted with a solid rubber lined, double acoustic "sound lock" door to each leaf. Each wall has rubber strips on the studs and specialised rubber sheeting between the plasterboards to eliminate the "coupling" effect of sound transmission.
- Blue plasterboard being fitted on the internal walls. The blue plasterboard is a special dense acoustic board with 2 layers of special rubber sheeting and rubber strips on all the studding timbers. A similar process is applied to the outer walls but in addition, they have an additional 75mm of dense acoustic rockwool insulation fitted.
- Dense sliding window shutters, integral to both the inner and outer walls, are fitted. Each shutter is manufactured to the same specification as the walls themselves. This means that they slide over the window openings and combine with the acoustic glazing to make what is often a weak link (the windows), into one of the strongest.
- The delighted customer with a Bob Marley poster attached to an inner sound proof acoustic shutter. Once slid away, another set of acoustic shutters are exposed to the outside walls and then the triple acoustic glazing.
- An especially soundproofed singing room, further isolated and sound deadened in order for sound not to travel into the main recording studio. As well having be acoustically insulated and sound deadened from outside noises, the singing practice room also had triple acoustic soundproof glazing between itself and the recording studio.

Two Thousand Songs / 27 June 2005
So last night I started making a music playlist, trying vainly to subdivide the swollen stinking mass of music that's in the archive, slice it down into manageable chunks so I could address all this new stuff on a case-by-case basis. Right? And as I sifted through the 12,000 songs I found myself choosing the ones that seemed the most familiar, that seemed fun to listen to instead of work, you know, that basically had a sweet nostalgic kick, and after a while it only took a second or so to decide if a given track fit the necessary criteria and when I was done I had 2,000 songs and I put it on random play and every single thing it served up was a delight. It was no longer about trying to set aside time to really you know absorb a new album and hope to unwrap its various hidden treasures. Instead I was just sort of chilling with already-unwrapped treasures and enjoying the whole thing. OK. Which is when I realized they were the songs I listened to between the ages of 0 and let's say 26 or 27. Let's call it 20th Century Music. And then I realized I was officially Old because isn't this what happens? There comes a point where you're all: OK fuck it I am no longer keeping up with the hip new music, I'm just going to listen to the stuff I listened to when I was a kid over and over, or maybe just turn on the golden oldies radio station that will play that stuff over and over for me because I am a viable demographic. My playlist is called "OK" and it is sorted by song title, and it begins with '39 by Queen and ends with the Ziggy Stardust cover by Bauhaus.

The flowering habits of bamboos have puzzled botanists all over the world for years. Some species of bamboo flower all at once – wherever they are in the world – and then die. Bamboo renews itself each year by sending up new shoots from underground stems. Each plant flowers only once in its life, then, its life cycle completed, it dies. But occasionally, at intervals of between 40 and 120 years depending on the species, the plants flower, seed and die en masse.
Sometimes the insignificant blooms appear on only a few stems of one plant, and although those particular stems die, the plant as a whole is unaffected.
Sometimes, on the other hand, the whole plant is weakened or dies. And sometimes entire forests can be killed off in this way. In one such flowering, in China's Qionglai Mountains in May 1983, much of the region's forests of arrow bamboo died. And an unknown number of giant pandas, which depend on bamboo for food, starved to death as a result.
Instances have also been known where tender bamboos grown for years in British greenhouses have suddenly flowered – and died – at roughly the same time as large numbers of plants of the same species growing wild in the tropics.
Generally, not all of the bamboos within a species flower, and so the species can survive. Moreover, many of the seeds formed in the flowers do in time germinate to grow into a new generation. A few years ago, however, a beautiful variegated bamboo (Sasa kutilensis variegata) did become extinct through this mass flowering and dying phenomenon. Collected seed was germinated, but the resultant plants did not possess the attractive golden leaf variegation.
If your own bamboo plant begins to produce flowers, there are two rescue options, either of which may save it – although neither method has won universal support from horticultural scientists.
First, you could try feeding it. Research carried out at the Pacific Bamboo Garden Nursery in California suggests that if bamboo plants are fed liberally with a high-nitrogen fertiliser, such as hoof and horn meal, at and after flowering until new growth appears, there's a good chance that they will survive. But nobody yet knows whether this method will work on all bamboo species or in all climatic zones.
Second, you could try preventing it from flowering. Some older gardeners claim that the lives of bamboos can be saved by cutting all the stems down almost to ground level at the first sign of any flowers.
