If you are visiting this site for the first time, Welcome! If any of this research can assist you toward learning of your past, Great! Should we be related in some way, it would be nice to hear from you, I always enjoy meeting "long lost" relatives.
This is all of my research in one location, though I do have more "blanks" to fill in.
Take care everyone and I hope all those whom are "long lost" relatives will let me know you are out there, so you won't be "long lost" anymore! ;)

Gwendolyn (Gwen) Bertha Boymer (Montgomery)left this life February 29, 2016 at the age of 88 to join her husband, Rev. Tolie Albert Boymer and her Lord and Saviour.
Gwen was born in St. Catherine's, Ontario to Rev. James and Mabel Montgomery in 1927. She attended Bible College and secretarial school in Ontario before marrying Tolie in 1954. Together they traveled across Canada ministering, until they settled in Oyen, Alberta where they raised 5 daughters—Laurel, Lucille, Starlene, Melody, and Juanita. They moved to Sicamous in 1974.
Two of Gwen's favourite jobs while working as a bookkeeper/secretary were at Scory Motors in Oyen and the high schools in Enderby and Sicamous. She loved playing various instruments, singing/directing choirs and teaching bookkeeping. Her favourite pastime was knitting.
After the death of her husband, Gwen moved to Vancouver Island where she resided until her passing.
She will be dearly missed by her daughters, grand and great grandchildren, friends and all those she touched during her life.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Alzheimers Society.
A graveside service will be held at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Vernon, BC on March 7, 2016 @ 11:00 am with refreshments afterwards at the Vernon Gospel Chapel, 4106 Pleasant Valley Rd., Vernon.
Our Reunion is scheduled for August 29, 20, 31, 2014 in Jefferson, Texas. Please sacrifice and attend our reunion meeting....

Remembering, we had a grand time at the 100th reunion in 2013. We welcomed and embraced familiar and newly met family. We shared conversations that bind us together. We connected some links and discovered others.
Now that we've entered 2014, we are excited about launching our second century with the 101st. The plan is to return to Jefferson, Texas, Labor Day weekend, August 29 - 31, 2014.
With that, the time is here….time for plans to start moving forward. Starting at the top and with our family leaders, the Men of the McIntosh Family, this letter comes to you.
McIntosh Men,
You are asked to contribute $100.00. This amount from each of you will help with the family goal……. insuring all family members get the opportunity to attend. It is very important that you respond one way or the other so we can gain direction on how to move forward.

Thank you,
We want everyone's participation. Let's make this the largest McIntosh gathering we have ever had. Let's show the people of the United States how the McIntosh Clan can come together and make history.
Caucausians, Blacks, Indians, anywhere and all races of MacIntosh (McIntosh)
2013 marks the 100th year of family gatherings for the descendants of Josiah McIntosh, Sr.
In June 1913, Josiah McIntosh, Jr., known as Joe, caring for his 102 year old Father, Josiah McIntosh, Sr., conceived the idea of a "family gathering". Josiah Sr., being a former slave, had seen families destroyed, split up and denied the opportunity of being together. He constantly emphasized to Joe Jr., the importance of family knowing and supporting one another. This emphasis encouraged Joe Jr,. and his wife, Mattie Ruffin McIntosh to call his and her siblings, their families; 14 of their children (some grown-up) and their families to their home in Jefferson, Texas to share in a feast and fellowship. This feast and fellowship began a celebration that has continued for 100 years for the Joe Jr., clan and some of the clan of his siblings.
This year, 2013, the Joe Jr., clan, as our ancestors did that first gathering in 1913, is calling together as "one big family" all descendants of Josiah McIntosh, Sr.
Our family will commemorate the 100th celebration

Back in Fashion: Borrow Yen, Buy Dollars
The yen carry trade is coming back.
The popular trade involving borrowing Japanese yen cheaply to invest in higher-yielding currencies has been quiet since the global financial crisis when many lost money on it as the yen shot up. But now with the currency falling and yields near rock bottom levels, investors are getting back in.

Like many students, I learn best when I understand the reason for what I'm learning, or am really engaged and curious about how I can achieve a vision of my own. This goes back as far as I can remember, but one example has always stuck in my mind, is my grade 10 math class.
I've never been a math whiz. Yes, when Charles Babbage passed away, he took the math gene with him, I think. So generally my math grades were average and my commitment to learning more about math was average. In previous math classes, it seemed every time I asked WHY, a teacher's answer came in one of two flavors:
a) Because that's how it's done
b) Because that's the answer at the back of the book
Neither were satisfactory responses to me then – or now. In retrospect, I think that's one of the things that made me a good teacher later in life. I wouldn't settle for those lame responses. I wouldn't give them to students.
Then one day in Grade 10 math, we were doing a lesson on statistics. I didn't see much use for them or the lesson and was probably getting ready to tune out. Something however, made me ask my teacher (Mr. Geoff Kavanaugh. Yes I still remember his name), "What's the point? How will this be useful to me? Why are we learning this?"
And a magical thing happened.
He answered my question.
Not with "because" or by pointing to the answer section of the text book. He answered it by telling me what could be done with statistics, the kinds of jobs and information and understanding that could be gained by using statistics. And he did this without being defensive, or preachy, or talking down to me, or by being vaguely dismissive (as many math teachers had been to me in the past).
Now I'll be honest; I did not suddenly become a math whiz. To this day, I still struggle with higher math concepts. But I certainly retained more about statistics than I would have. The fact that this teacher took the time to explain the why, made a huge impact to my attentiveness in class. I respected him for truly taking the time to respond intelligently to my questions. I wanted to listen more closely, even if I didn't "get it" at the time. And I knew that if I had an honest beef with the topic, I could ask him a question and get a solid, useful answer. He is one of a select few teachers that made a difference to me as a life-long learner, and as a teacher.
As teachers, we're often tasked with trying to communicate intricate or complex concepts to novices. This is just as true in Higher Ed as it is in K-12. And it's more pervasive now than it was back when I was in Grade 10, or even when I was in college!
Another technique I would use in class is what I call the "Ripple Effect". In an attempt to keep students on task, open-minded and motivated to learn, I'd tell them a couple short anecdotes about my life, and how I got to where I was, professionally. I would use this in my first year photojournalism courses a couple times. There's nothing more challenging than trying to teach photography to a room full of prospective "writers". They didn't sign on to be photogs; they enrolled so they could be writers, after all.
Well, the route to being a writer, or reporter, (or author or teacher or photographer or pick a career) can be a pretty twisty path. And I take a few minutes and explain the chain of events that led me to becoming a professional photographer – a career I loved but never planned on. Without that career as a commercial photographer, I would never have been asked by my former college photography instructor to be a guest speaker in his classes. This later led to a part time teaching position at Centennial, which lasted for 20+ years.
Later in the semester, when the topic of social media came up, I'd give an example of the importance of online branding, using myself as the case study. I am 100% positive that had I not started writing online articles, for example, I would never have been approached by Lynda.com or Peachpit Press or Adobe to do work for them.
In short, you often can't predict what skill you will need, and hence what niche you can fill to get yourself in the door. My layout skills from J-School led me to my first job in a photo studio. And I never actually did any layout work in that job. I became one of the company's staff photographers! But that skill in layout was what got me the job interview.
I'm sure that many teachers do this kind of thing already, but in case you're not, take those few minutes early in a lesson to explain the why. Do your best (as tempting as it is sometimes, considering the massive amount of material we are expected to teach), to avoid the "because" answer. Students will respect the time you take to do so.
It doesn't take long and it doesn't have to happen with every lesson, but take it from me, it can truly be life-changing, when we know "why" we're learning something.

Against an improving Gwynedd Mercy Academy swim team, it took awhile for Mount St. Joseph to take control last Wednesday evening, but the Magic eventually did, winning their final outing of the regular season, 55-38.
The Mount moved ahead for good in the team scoring in the 50-yard freestyle, the fourth event in the program, and went on to achieve a record of 3-2 within the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies and 5-4 overall. In the league, the Magic defeated Gwynedd, Merion Mercy, and newcomer Villa Joseph Marie, while falling to powerhouse Villa Maria. The Magic also lost to Nazareth Academy by four points on a day when they were missing one of their top performers, junior Christina Formica.
Gwynedd, which closed the gap in the team point totals last Wednesday by winning the final two races, came away with an overall record still well to the plus side, at 6-2-1. Like the Mount, GMA defeated Villa Joe and Merion and lost to Nazareth, but the Monarchs had to cancel their head-to-head meeting with Villa Maria, so their league record leveled off at 2-2.
Both the Mount and Gwynedd use the La Salle High School pool as their home venue, and for Senior Night last week the gallery was packed, making for quite a din at the old four-lane facility. The Magic recognized their three seniors, Maria Finnegan, Jen Lehman, and Lexi Meister, who are the team tri-captains. The only one of the three who has finalized her college plans is Meister, who has signed with Bucknell University for crew.
On the other end of the age spectrum, Gwynedd has a budding superstar in freshman Allie Szekely, who is already well known in swimming circles. She made an immediate impact last Wednesday as a member of the Monarchs' medley relay team, combining with Kieragh McMenamin, Molly Riemenschneider, and Shannon Brown to win that race in one minute, 55.83 seconds. In second was a Mount foursome made up of sophomore Haley Sannem, freshman Liz DeGroat, junior Christine Sipos, and Lehman. The third-place quartet consisted of MSJ sophomore Jenny DiPietro, junior Julie Sowa, Formica, and freshman Katie Zimmerman.
MSJ sophomore Steph Eble was timed in 2:04.52 as she won the 200-yard freestyle, where she was followed to the wall by Gwynedd's Mary Kate Curley and her own Mount teammate, Meister.
Szekely was in the water for the next event and that meant a victory for Gwynedd, as the ninth-grader wrapped up the 200 individual medley in 2:01.58. DeGroat was the runner-up for the Magic, with GMA's Riemenschneider in third. The outcome gave the Monarchs a 14-12 advantage in the overall meet score.
Mount St. Joe gained a lead and then reinforced it with one-two finishes in the next three events.
Junior Jesse Dolan won the 50 free in 26.65 seconds with Lehman right behind her, and third place went to Gwynedd's Brown. In the butterfly, Sipos (1:02.23) and Meister secured the top two spots for the Magic, with Reimenschneider snagging third for the Monarchs.
Dolan was back in action for the 100 free, coming in second to her victorious teammate, Sannem (58.74 seconds). Gwynedd got third thanks to Emily Fesnak, whose older sister, Chrissy, was a volleyball standout at Mount St. Joseph.
The Magic's lead in the team score grew to 26 points (47-21) when Eble won her second event, putting up a time of 5:27.53 in the 500 free. Curley came in second for the Monarchs, with Mount junior Georgia Kelly in third.
The Mounties then captured their only relay win of the evening, posting a time of 1:47.67 through the efforts of Dolan, DeGroat, Meister, and Lehman. In second were the Magic's Zimmerman, Katelin Cordero (a freshman), Sipos, and Eble. Making up Gwynedd's third-place foursome were Brown, McMenamin, Claire Lacon, and Curley.
The Monarchs finished with a flourish, winning each of the last three events. McMenamin proved the best of the backstrokers, with her time of 1:07.59 putting her ahead of the Mount's Formica and Sannem. The breast stroke is one of Szekely's specialties, and she won in 1:04.71, ahead of DeGroat and Sowa of Mount St. Joe. Szekely has already set a new school record in the event, as well as in the individual medley.
In the final race, the 400 free relay, the Mount's Dolan, Formica, Meister, and Eble faced the GMA quartet of Curley, Fesnak, Brown, and Szekely. Halfway through the race the teams were almost dead even, but by the end of the third leg Gwynedd had edged ahead by a yard-and-a-half. The gap grew considerably during the anchor leg, as Szekley brought the Monarchs home half-a-length of the pool ahead of the Magic.
Third place went to MSJ's Zimmerman, Sipos, Sannem, and Lehman.

Huntington Beach, California, October 9, 2001 (NYSE: ZQK) Quiksilver is proud to announce the addition of Brian Craighill, to the company's Snow division, as Snow Marketing Manager. An East Coast native, Craighill was lured away from the fast academic track to the slopes of Utah where he finished college and began planting deep roots in the snowboarding industry.
An amateur team rider for K2, he had exceptional promise for going pro, but opted for the business side. He helped create the K2 snowboard team and has managed those affairs until now. "Over the past year I've had the opportunity to meet, work with, and also travel with some amazing people in the industry. When I was offered the opportunity to pursue the team manager position at Quik, I ran it past a few people that have been in the game a lot longer than I have. Eyes lit up when I mentioned the Quiksilver name," said Craighill. "I feel that Quiksilver is a place where I will be able to continue building upon the snow program's momentum, and also personally grow. Plus, I also need to learn how to surf. That might be an easier task in Huntington Beach than Utah…we'll see."
Craighill will report to Taylor Whisenand, Quiksilver's Brand Manager, who commented, "Brian will bring to Quiksilver the experience, relationships, and legitimacy that he has built during his years in the industry and play a key role in continuing the growth and evolution of our snow program."
Quiksilver designs, produces and distributes clothing, accessories and related products for active-minded people and develops brands that represent a casual lifestyle ¿ driven from a boardriding heritage. Quiksilver's authenticity is evident in its innovative products, events and retail environments across the globe.
Quiksilver's primary focus is apparel for young men and young women under the Quiksilver, Roxy, Raisins, Radio Fiji and Hawk Clothing labels. Quiksilver also manufactures apparel for boys (Quiksilver Boys and Hawk Clothing), girls (Teenie Wahine and Raisins Girls), men (Quiksilveredition and Fidra) and women's swim (Leilani), as well as snowboards, snowboard boots and bindings under the Lib Technologies, Gnu and Bent Metal labels. Quiksilver's products are sold throughout the world, primarily in surf shops and specialty stores that provide an outstanding retail experience for their customers.

Aging and HIV: A Conversation with Dr. Malcolm John
Summer/Fall 2009
Thanks to years of HIV health advocacy, better understanding of HIV disease and its complications, and improved antiretroviral treatment regimens, people with HIV now are better able to maintain their health and live longer -- perhaps even decades longer than they ever expected. For many, living longer with HIV brings new health challenges that positive people, clinicians, and researchers are only just beginning to understand.
As an infectious disease expert and the director of 360: The Positive Care Center at the University of California at San Francisco, Malcolm John, MD, MPH, sees daily the changes his HIV positive clients experience after age 50. I spoke with Dr. John about the evolving health issues these individuals encounter and the state of the science on getting older with HIV.
BETA: What do we know about how HIV and its treatment interact with the aging process, and what are some of the common health changes that people experience as they get older with HIV?
Dr. Malcolm John: First of all, most of our data definitely center on what is being observed in terms of increasing non-HIV-associated complications. And the short answer is, we don't really know yet what's causing it. But we have some ideas.
There seems to be clearly a higher level of immune activation with HIV that is a part of the disease pathogenesis -- the mechanism by which HIV causes not only destruction of T-cells [key players in the body's immune function], but probably some of these complications that we're seeing. Chronic HIV infection results in chronic inflammation, and that may in turn lead to immune activation, or complications from chronic inflammation. We've seen other disease states where that may play a role; for example, in connective tissue autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. We know that, for example, with lupus, women have a higher rate of coronary artery disease, and one possible mechanism is chronic inflammation leading to abnormalities in cholesterol and lipids [fats in the blood], which also affects HIV disease.
Another complicating mechanism that is being investigated is premature aging of T-cells, which leads to a sort of premature senescence, or inactivity or low responsiveness of those T-cells. So those are three major mechanisms: inflammation, immune activation, and premature aging of T-cells.
The disease entities that seem to be clearly increased are cardiovascular disease, non-AIDS malignancies (particularly fatal non-AIDS malignancies), liver disease, and kidney disease. Those are the four big things that people are seeing. This past year at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, one study looked at cerebral blood flow and found that the blood flow patterns in HIV positive individuals were very similar to those of HIV-negative people who were 10 or 15 years older.
Another problem that we see is coronary artery disease, or vascular disease. A study showed that HIV seems to be associated with vascular aging. That study looked at endothelial vasodilation -- the ability of blood vessels to open up and allow more blood to flow through. And they found that there was less ability to dilate, which basically translates to stiffer vessel walls. And it again seemed similar to that of HIV-negative persons who were 25 years older. So now we have evidence that there's vascular function that is consistent with much older populations.
Another research group looked at T-cell senescence in people who had good immune reconstitution, where CD4 counts had gone up and viral load was low. They found that those individuals had T-cell populations that were consistent with those of people as much as 32 years older. The median age of the HIV-positive study population was 56, and yet they had T-cell patterns consistent with those of people that were about 88 years old. I could go into more subsets, but I think that's the take-home message. So now we have three studies showing that there seems to be a corollary to an older HIV-negative population, and the only difference that's being studied here is HIV.
BETA: I also understand that the thymus shrinks with age in HIV-positive and HIV-negative people alike. The thymus is a key region where CD4 cells originate; do we know anything about how this change affects health in the context of HIV disease?
Dr. Malcolm John: Yes. So far, I've gone through four parameters: cerebral blood flow, which may be one of the risk factors for the cognitive impairments we see in the aging HIV-positive population; vascular aging, which may be a component for cardiovascular disease; immune senescence, or T-cell aging, which may explain some of the increased non-HIV cancers that we see (because immune cells are important for surveillance); and we talked about frailty indices. Number five: We find that older individuals -- particularly those newly infected -- do worse, with lower CD4 counts and more rapid CD4 declines, and that is believed to be related to thymic differences.
People who are older have smaller, or "involuted," thymuses, and therefore their T-cells are unable to generate new CD4 cells like young individuals. If they go untreated, their HIV will progress more rapidly. Once we get them on therapy, there is some equalization, because older individuals tend to be more adherent to their antiretroviral regimens, but their T-cell rebound is not going to be as good, and that is definitely a factor in long-term health outcomes.
BETA: Are you seeing these issues in your own patient population, as well?
Dr. Malcolm John: Absolutely. We've seen non-AIDS-related malignancies. I've seen some very rapid cases of lung cancers. Generally, when a lung mass is found, I'll do a follow-up CT scan on the earlier side -- maybe even a month earlier, because I've seen some rapid progression. We definitely see liver disease, no question. We know that hepatitis B and C are accelerated in HIV co-infection, leading to higher rates of cirrhosis and greater need for liver transplantation in the [HIV/hepatitis coinfected] population. We're also seeing more kidney dysfunction. Renal function declines as we all get older, but that renal dysfunction seems to be increased in some studies in HIV-positive patients.
Now, some of that's related to the HIV medications, right? There are some meds that we use very commonly that may be associated with some of the negative cardiovascular effects. A study conducted by the Framingham Heart Study group looked at intimal wall thickening and saw that HIV is an independent predictor of thickening of that vascular wall, meaning increased risk of coronary artery occlusion -- so basically a predictor for vascular disease. We definitely see a lot of heart attacks. I've had quite a few patients, relatively young, have heart attacks or present with angina [chest pain due to insufficient blood flow to the heart] requiring intervention. And some really unfortunately cases of malignancies, not only of the lung but also some of the lymphomas [cancers typically originating in the immune system] that haven't been traditionally associated with HIV.
BETA: What do you think are the most important things about aging with HIV that positive people and their health care providers should be aware of?
Dr. Malcolm John: I think that the most important thing is to understand that even as we control HIV with medications, people are at increased risk for non-HIV-associated complications, and that those complications are those seen in the general population, but it's an accelerated process. We need to be very cognizant of that and screen for those changes. So, if someone has some evidence of increased forgetfulness compared with their peers, we do a neuro-psych screening and find out if they have significant cognitive changes. If they have risk factors for coronary artery disease, we not only use the Framingham guidelines to stratify their risk, but we are also a little bit more aggressive in terms of getting their cholesterol under control or their hypertension [high blood pressure] under control.
And now we're learning that some of these meds may contribute [to these complications], so it's important to think carefully about what regimen would be best for a patient, either because of direct contribution from the medication, or indirectly from the risk of increasing their cholesterol.
Stay tuned to the changing literature and data. Health maintenance: make that a top priority as you get your HIV under control. Be aggressive about getting those reversible factors under control. And do your standard screening health exams.
BETA: It sounds like, as people age, it becomes more and more important to work closely with a primary care provider who understands these complicating factors of HIV and HIV meds.
Dr. Malcolm John: That's exactly right.

Congressional Republicans have relentlessly attacked Obamacare. The White House has been equally staunch in its defense. Yet despite the political entrenchment characterizing the health care debate, one group is quietly tacking toward a more practical solution.
Insurance companies are trying to ensure that the law works.
While few will speculate on how they'd react if the Affordable Care Act's troubles were to continue, insurers — some of whom opposed passage of the law — say they're working closely with the White House and executive-branch agencies to make sure the problems that plagued the law's first few months don't further hamper enrollment.
Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for the trade group America's Health Insurance Plans, said the group's members are regularly providing technical feedback to the administration.
While the insurance industry is not monolithic — several companies, for example, have opted out of state exchanges — most insurers have a stake in making sure the legislation works.
From their point of view, the government is a business partner, which explains both their softly worded criticisms and their behind-the-scenes efforts to get the exchanges functioning.
"The insurance industry is in a bit of an abusive, codependent relationship," said Tom Miller, a resident fellow and health insurance expert at the American Enterprise Institute. "They can't step out too far."
Insurers could criticize Obamacare more forcefully, outside observers say, but that could risk alienating the administration. To remain on the sidelines would mean ceding a say in how the law operates.
"I kind of wish there was a deeper conspiracy," Miller said. "But the bottom line is that they want to stay in business."
Politically, the law has become a lead weight for Democrats, with Republicans relentlessly hammering the woeful rollout. The Affordable Care Act is particularly troubling for vulnerable Senate Democrats, who are stressing their attempts to fix it legislatively. A pack of Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, have proposed legislation aimed at allowing Americans whose plans were canceled to keep them.
But insurers by and large oppose those fixes because rates for 2014 have already been set and restoring canceled plans is easier said than done. Zirkelbach, for instance, said those kinds of proposals amount to "changing the rules in the middle of the game," and AHIP would not support Landrieu's proposal.
Therein lies the insurers' leverage, say health policy experts. The White House cannot afford to "throw them overboard," Miller said, because it needs their help with the website. Insurers have been forward about this point in particular.
"In addition to fixing the technical problems with HealthCare.gov, the significant "˜back-end' issues must also be resolved to ensure that coverage can begin on Jan. 1, 2014," AHIP President and CEO Karen Ignagni said recently in a statement.
The administration has three months to demonstrate to insurers that the Affordable Care Act is succeeding, according to Ed Haislmaier, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Center for Health Policy Studies. He also argues that there are bellwether insurers to watch.
Wellmark, a Blue Cross Blue Shield subsidiary in Iowa and South Dakota, is not participating in the Obamacare exchanges in 2014, but plans to offer coverage in 2015. An important indicator of how well the law is doing, Haislmaier said, would be if Wellmark revises its 2015 plans.
Meanwhile, observers expect insurers to cooperate with the White House on setting up the exchanges.

Weight loss may hurt relationship if only one partner sheds pounds
Losing weight can tack on quality years of life for overweight individuals, but a new study suggests it might lead to the demise of your relationship if both partners aren't all in on the transition.
"People need to be aware that weight loss can change a relationship for better or worse," said study author Dr. Lynsey Romo, an assistant professor of communication at NC State.
For her study, researchers recruited 21 couples from across the U.S., each of which had one partner who lost 30 or more pounds in less than two years. On average, most lost about 60 pounds during that time.
All participants were given questionnaires asking about how the weight loss impacted their relationship.
After weight loss, most couples said they were more communicative in a good way: The partner who lost the weight was more likely to talk about healthy living and inspire his or her partner to engage in or maintain one as well. When both partners were receptive to these healthy changes, they reported boosts in physical and emotional intimacy.
But, some partners who lost weight resorted to "nagging" their significant other to follow their lead, which the researchers say caused tension.
Others who hadn't lost weight said they felt threatened and insecure by their partner who did lose the extra pounds -- they tended to be the most resistant to change in their relationships, the researchers pointed out. Often they'd make critical comments towards their partner, lose interest in sex or try to sabotage them with unhealthy meals to prevent their relationship from changing.
Romo says her study suggests communication plays an important role in a healthy relationship. When both partners were on board with the healthier changes and support was strong, couples were brought closer together. When a partner resisted the changes or was not supportive, the relationship took a hit.
"This study should not dissuade anyone from losing excess weight, but it should encourage people to be aware of the potential pros and cons of weight loss on their relationship," she said. "It is really important for the partner of someone trying to lose weight to be supportive of their significant other without feeling threatened by their health changes. This approach will help people lose weight without jeopardizing the quality of their relationship."
The study was published Oct. 24 in Health Communication.
"We fall into these patterns with people we have relationships with," Dr. Charlotte Markey, chair of psychology at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J., told HealthDay. She reviewed the study's findings. "When these patterns shift, it can be unsettling."
Markey recommended discussing any feelings of inadequacy as they arise if one partner is losing weight while one that may also need to isn't.
"Hopefully the partner will say 'Well, you shouldn't.,'' she said.

Residential Apartment Building
1714 Lynwood Avenue, Winston-Salem
1714 Lynwood Avenue was constructed in 1922. The brick-constructed building has a poured concrete foundation with poured concrete piers dating to its original construction. When purchased by Sam Ogburn, Jr., the property underwent major renovations with exterior alterations including: removal of the metal awnings; installation of appropriate columns; installation of decking material with bead board; installation of railings on the porches and steps; removal of the window air conditioners; screening of the heat pumps with wood fences; the addition of central air conditioning; new heating system, wiring, and plumbing; and, the installation of landscaping and retaining walls. The porch details were painted a compatible color rather than the contrasting one that had been applied by a previous owner. Interior alterations included: sanding of the wood floors; installation of lighting and carpets in common spaces; construction of new kitchens; window and plaster repair; and, many more details. Mr. Ogburn, Jr. completed renovation of the apartment building in the spring of 2005.

Nissen Building
310-314 West Fourth Street, Winston-Salem
Constructed in 1926 as an office building, the 18-story Nissen Building is located at 310-314 West Fourth Street in downtown Winston-Salem. Designed by New York architect William L. Stoddart, the Nissen Building was built for William Madison Nissen, former owner of Nissen Wagon Works, and stands as a monument to the Nissen family's important role in the development of Winston-Salem. In 2003, a multi-million dollar rehabilitation began, retaining original architectural features and recreating a highly ornamented street level façade that had been removed in 1968. The Nissen project is incomparable in terms of scope and economic impact as well as being a unifying element between the preservation and development communities. Now home to 145 luxury apartments, the Nissen Building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a Forsyth County Local Historic Landmark property.

St. Paul United Methodist Church Graveyard
South Main Street, Kernersville
Kernersville's original Main Street Methodist Episcopal Church building was constructed in 1837. In 1873, a group of African-American members at the Main Street Methodist Episcopal Church purchased the church building, which had been replaced by a newer structure, and moved it to the cemetery site. At this location the congregation became known as St. Paul Methodist Episcopal Church and it was only the third established church in the town. St. Paul was also the first place of worship for the black community in Kernersville. What happened with the original St. Paul's church building, which sat next to the graveyard for 15 years, remains a mystery. However, the cemetery remains at the original location. In 1990, Sarah Hamlin spearheaded an effort to restore the neglected cemetery, organizing volunteers and the Kernersville Historic Preservation Society to assist in retaining a very important part of Kernersville's African-American history. The project included obtaining funding for the initial cleanup, installation of a cast iron fence and continuing maintenance. Moreover, the project succeeded in bringing recognition and appreciation for the past lives of over 200 Kernersville residents buried in the cemetery and preserving a vital piece of Kernersville's history.

Ardmore Neighborhood Association
The Ardmore Neighborhood Association was nominated for its hard work over the last several years in obtaining National Register of Historic Places listing for the neighborhood in August of 2004. With this listing, Ardmore became the largest historic district in Winston-Salem. After achieving this goal, the neighborhood association continued to promote Ardmore as a good place to live; the association also worked to educate property owners about the historic significance of the neighborhood and opportunities for using historic preservation rehabilitation tax credits. Currently, the neighborhood is working to install historic markers throughout the District to identify the area. The current President of the Ardmore Neighborhood Association, Jennifer Redd-Lovett states "I personally believe our biggest (and most rewarding accomplishment) regarding our preservation efforts has been the social capital that has been generated throughout our efforts to receive historic district status. Deep, long-lasting friendships were made while love, appreciation and pride in our home neighborhood have been fostered. It became obvious to most of those involved how much blood, sweat and tears went into the original planning of the area and why it is imperative that those long ago efforts be protected, loved and appreciated. The future depends and relies on the efforts of the past."
Gwynne Taylor
In her long and distinguished career in historic preservation, Gwynne Taylor helped to start Preservation North Carolina's revolving fund, and was the principal investigator for the Forsyth County Historic Inventory, documenting over 1,500 historic properties. She is author of the book From Frontier to Factory, An Architectural History of Forsyth County. Gwynne has also served as president of Preservation North Carolina and currently serves on its board. Additionally, Gwynne served as the director of Historic Bethabara Park in Winston-Salem. In 1999, Gwynne was recognized by Preservation North Carolina with the Ruth Coltrane Cannon Award. This award is North Carolina's most prestigious preservation award presented for outstanding achievement of statewide significance in historic preservation in North Carolina. Gwynne is currently managing the restoration/renovation project of the 1785 Single Sisters House for Salem Academy and College. Gwynne strives through her collaborative efforts to help preserve a broader spectrum of historic resources in Forsyth County including 19th and 20th century neighborhoods, farm complexes, African-American sites, commercial, and industrial sites.

Brace yourselves: The anonymous New York Jets player has struck again. His target? Mark Sanchez.
CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman talked with yet another unnamed Jets player who told him this week, "Everyone on the team likes Mark personally, but there's a general feeling among some of the players that maybe it's time to give someone else a chance."
The masked source estimated that 80 to 90 percent of the roster agrees. Naturally, none of the players has gone on record with that sentiment.
Sanchez struggled through a disastrous Wednesday practice lowlighted by three interceptions and general chaos, a display coach Rex Ryan classified as "unacceptable" and a "disappointment."
The miscues conjure up Sanchez's 52 turnovers over the past two seasons, a statistic tied to the quarterback's fierce tumble from grace in Florham Park. Granted, Sanchez was without wideouts Santonio Holmes or Stephen Hill on Wednesday, but so was rookie Geno Smith (who, if you're keeping score, threw one pick of his own on a day that saw neither passer flourish).
The Jets have spoken optimistically about wrapping up the team's quarterback competition prior to training camp. That won't come easy, because Sanchez -- to be fair -- still is learning the team's new West Coast attack, while Smith still is learning where the break room is.
Sanchez would benefit from a fresh start, but it doesn't matter what his unnamed teammates think. The Jets aren't about to part ways with the veteran -- still guaranteed a bundlle of cash -- until they're certain Smith can steer them out of the abyss.

Hamburg is Germany's wealthiest city – as those who visit the neighbourhoods of Altstadt and Neustadt will notice straight away. The streets of Hamburg's prominent shopping district are lined with elegant department stores and upscale boutiques. Admire the sparkling jewellery, taste some caviar or try on a new suit.
The centre of Hamburg is divided into 2 parts with the Rathaus (town hall) as the central point. Altstadt encompasses the eastern part up to the Hauptbahnhof (central train station) and Neustadt lies between the western quays of the Binnenalster and the Hamburg State Opera. Mönckebergstraße and Spitalerstraße are Hamburg's 2 major busy shopping streets where you will find many large chain stores. For more exclusive fashion, head to Neuer Wall and Große Bleichen and browse the luxury designer labels.
Disembark at the Jungfernstieg U-Bahn stop right in front of the Alsterhaus department store: this store has been a Hamburg landmark for more than a century. In bygone days, wealthy ladies shopped here for the latest fashion in French hats and Persian rugs. Today the selection is more contemporary yet still luxurious and varied. The top floor is a gourmet paradise, with caviar, fancy chocolates and expensive wine.
Alsterhaus, Jungfernstieg 16-20, Hamburg
Fashionistas from all around the world line up for Petra Teufel's boutique in Hamburg. In 1988, this fashion queen was one of the first to import avant-garde fashion from Japan and Belgium to sell in Germany. Even today, Petra Teufel is a popular destination for shoppers who like to browse her wares. The racks are packed with pieces by famous designers such as Dries van Noten and Emilio Pucci, but you will also find items by lesser-known designers.
"Fashionistas from around the world line up for fashion queen Petra Teufel"
Petra Teufel, Hohe Bleichen 13, Hamburg
Second-hand shop Secondella in the elegant shopping street Hohe Bleichen proves that luxury doesn't always have to cost an arm and a leg. Coats, shoes, evening gowns and purses by expensive labels such as Chanel, Roberto Cavalli and Prada are waiting to begin their fashion 'rerun'. We also recommend the children's clothing section where you may find gems such as a pink Dior ski suit. On the website, you can reserve a vintage item before going into the store to try it on.

USDA has announced a request for proposals for Conservation Innovation Grants.
The CIG program is designed to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies.
"CIG rewards the creation of new and innovative approaches to managing the nation's natural resources more effectively and efficiently," said Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns.
"It allows applicants to come up with practical solutions to address conservation and resource management on a local, regional or national scale."
USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service administers CIG. For fiscal 2007, up to $20 million is available for the national CIG competition.
Funds for single- or multi-year projects, not to exceed three years, will be awarded through a nationwide competitive grants process with applications accepted from all 50 States, the Caribbean area (Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands) and the Pacific Basin area (Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) from all eligible government or non-government organizations or individuals, including federally recognized tribes.
Three CIG categories are available in fiscal 2007:
Natural Resource Concerns Category — up to $10 million available for proposals addressing one or more of the CIG natural resource concerns.
This component was also offered in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Chesapeake Bay Watershed Category — up to $5 million available for proposals addressing one or more of the CIG natural resource concerns in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
This component was also offered in 2005 and 2006.
Technology Category — up to $5 million available for proposals addressing one or more of the CIG technology categories. This component was offered for the first time in 2006.
Applicants should explain how large a geographic area the project would benefit.
The projects may be watershed-based, regional, multi-state, or nationwide in scope. Applications should describe the use of innovative technologies or approaches, or both, to address a natural resource conservation concern or concerns.
Funding for CIG is made available through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
All proposed CIG projects must involve EQIP-eligible producers. CIG funds that are used to provide direct or indirect payments to individuals or entities to implement structural, vegetative or management practices are subject to the $450,000 EQIP payment limitation.
CIG is not a research program but rather a tool to stimulate the adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a high likelihood of success, and are likely candidates for eventual technology transfer.
CIG will fund projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations. Technologies and approaches that are commonly used in the geographic area covered by the application, and which are eligible for funding through EQIP, are not eligible for funding through CIG.
Proposed projects must conform to the description of innovative conservation projects or activities published in the Announcement of Program Funding.
CIG funds pilot projects and conservation field trials that can last from one to three years.
Grants for approved projects cannot exceed 50 percent of the total project cost. The federal contribution for a single project cannot exceed $1 million.

Resilient transport investments: a climate imperative for Small Island Developing Countries
Transport in its many forms – from tuk-tuks in Thailand to futuristic self-driving electric cars – is ubiquitous in the lives of everyone on the planet. For that reason, it is often taken for granted – unless we are caught in congestion, or more dramatically, if the water truck fails to arrive at a drought-stricken community in Africa.
It is easy to forget that transport is a crucial part of the global economy. Overall, countries invest between $1.4 to $2.1 trillion per year in transport infrastructure to meet the world's demand for mobility and connectivity. Efficient transport systems move goods and services, connect people to economic opportunities, and enable access to essential services like healthcare and education. Transport is a fundamental enabler to achieving almost all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and is crucial to meet the objectives under the Paris agreement of limiting global warming to less than 2°C by 2100, and make best efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.
But all of this depends on well-functioning transport systems. With the effects of climate change, in many countries this assumption is becoming less of a given. The impact of extreme natural events on transport—itself a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions—often serve as an abrupt reminder of how central it is, both for urgent response needs such as evacuating people and getting emergency services where they are needed, but also for longer term economic recovery, often impaired by destroyed infrastructure and lost livelihoods. A country that loses its transport infrastructure cannot respond effectively to climate change impacts.

Rumor now has it that AMC wants to make a movie version of Robert Kirkman's comic. They've already got a very successful television series — we can easily see how this zombie show could spark a two-hour, extra-gory flick. Bloody Disgusting reports that AMC is pursuing a Walking Dead movie, and points out that the first pitch for a Walking Dead screen adaptation was cinematic.
Bloody Disgusting further surmises that the movie would take place after the show concludes, much like Sex and the City and The Smurfs. Unlike these two films, we hope a Walking Dead movie doesn't inspire us to jam forks in our eyes.

Average retail gasoline prices in Arkansas have fallen 5.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.57/g
Average retail gasoline prices in Arkansas have fallen 5.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.57/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,826 gas outlets in Arkansas. This compares with the national average that has fallen 2.8 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.70/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices yesterday were 1 cent per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 21.9 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 21.6 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 0.7 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.
"Gasoline prices have continued to remain relatively stable in the last week, falling a few cents per gallon, providing well needed relief to motorists," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Perhaps more noteworthy, however, is the fact that current average gasoline prices have now fallen under their year ago levels. And perhaps the best news is that the national average will likely continue to decline in most areas east of the Rockies in the week ahead as wholesale gasoline prices have given up ground," DeHaan said.

Place the urad dhal in a large bowl and rinse with many changes of water until the water no longer appears cloudy. Drain.
In a large bowl, combine the drained urad dhal with the rice, fenugreek seeds, and 2 1/2 cups water. Soak the ingredients together for 4 hours at room temperature, until the dhal and rice expand and soften. When a grain of rice just breaks under the pressure of your fingernail, the ingredients have soaked long enough.
Drain the urad dhal and rice, reserving the liquid. Place roughly half of the solids and half of the liquid in a blender and grind them long enough to get a smooth consistency with some graininess remaining, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Test by rubbing a little batter between your fingers. The largest grains should be the size of granulated sugar. Pour the mixture into a large bowl. Repeat the process with the remaining solids and liquid, and add the mixture to the bowl. Stir in the salt. The mixture should be very thick, so it will be necessary to thin it with approximately 1/4 cup water to get the consistency of pancake batter.
Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and place in an oven, kept warm to a temperature of 90 degrees for 12 to 15 hours. This can be achieved with the help of a trouble light or floodlight fitted with a 25-watt bulb. Plug the power cord into an outlet close enough to the oven so that the bulb can rest on a rack in the oven. Turn on the light and prop the oven door open about 1 inch with the handle of a wooden spoon. Check the temperature periodically to be sure it stays at 90 degrees. During warm summer months it may not be necessary to use the lightbulb. The batter should nearly double in volume and smell a little sour.
Remove the bowl from the oven and stir the contents. The batter will be thick and foamy. If you choose not to fry the crepes immediately, refrigerate the batter at this point. Remove it from refrigerator 1/2 hour before frying.
When ready to fry the crepes, check the consistency of the batter: it should pour smoothly like pancake batter. Add the baking soda and a little more water if needed.
Heat a nonstick griddle or frying pan over medium low heat (2 pans will speed up the process). Spread about 1/4 teaspoon oil evenly over the griddle. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the hot griddle, and immediately, using the back of the ladle, gently but steadily spread the batter in a circular motion from the center out, creating a thin pancake. If the batter does not spread easily into a thin layer, thin it with a little more water.
As the crepe cooks, small holes will form on the surface. Sprinkle a few drops of oil on top, to help make it crisp. When the bottom turns a golden color (about 1 minute) turn it over and fry the other side 30 seconds or until lightly browned. Fold the crepe in half, golden side out, and place it on a platter. Keep the fried crepes warm as you repeat the process, oiling the griddle each time. Serve immediately.

From NBA.com staff reports
Roughly a month ago, as the Rockets were basking in the glow of landing Dwight Howard in free agency, plans to bring a Hall of Famer in to improve Howard's post play started coming into place. Houston's brass was diligently working to add Hakeem Olajuwon, the master of the "Dream Shake" and the man who led the Rockets to titles in 1994 and '95, to its coaching staff.
Dream Shake 101 is apparently in session for Howard, as Jason Friedman of Rockets.com was on hand yesterday to watch as Howard got some post-move lessons from Olajuwon. Also in attendance was Rockets coach Kevin McHale. Known to make a post move or two in his day that left defenders befuddled, McHale surely had a couple of low-post pointers for Howard as well.
Enough talk, here are the photos of the workout you're looking for:
As a member of the Magic, Howard was tutored in the offseason by Olajuwon. He also received instruction from Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing and well-regarded big man coach Clifford Ray during his Orlando days when those men were on the Magic's staff (at different times).
How Howard is able to incorporate the fleet-footed moves of Olajuwon into his game — and how quickly he can do so — will go a long way in making life easier on the perimeter for James Harden, Chandler Parsons, Jeremy Lin and the rest of Houston's crew.

Redirect HTTP to HTTPS for WordPress on Windows
To redirect your WordPress website to the secure HTTPS protocol on Windows, there are several steps that need to be taken before the redirect will work properly.
Note: If your site is hosted on our Managed WordPress hosting platform you do not need to manually change these settings, the HTTPS protocol will be configured automatically.
WordPress Preparation steps
These steps should be taken before modifying any code.
- Log in to WordPress
- Select Settings from the menu and click on General.
- Locate the following entries in the General settings::
- WordPress Address (URL):
- Site Address (URL):
- Update both URLS to include https instead of http
- Save the changes
Windows Redirect Steps
If your WordPress website is hosted on Windows, it will use a web.config configuration file. Placing the
web.config in the root of your site will change the behavior of your site when the file is detected and executed.
- Download a copy of your
web.configfrom your hosting account.
- Open the file with your favorite text editor
Note: Make sure you edit the web.config file using a plain text editor that doesn't use word wrap. Some editors (such as MS Word or Notepad with word wrap enabled) will insert invisible characters to signify a line break. Your web.config file will not work if it has these special characters in it.
- Make the necessary changes(see examples belowe).
- Save your changes.
- Upload the modified
web.configto your hosting account.
- Test your work by navigating to the web site through the HTTP protocol, it should redirect to HTTPS automatically.
Example WordPress web.config Content
Your WordPress site should already have a default entry in your
web.config file. it should look similar to this example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="WordPress Rule" stopProcessing="true"> <match url=".*" /> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite> </system.webServer> </configuration>
To ensure your hosting account will force the HTTPS protocol on all traffic to the site, you'll need to add the following to the web.config file.
<clear /> <rule name="Redirect to https" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*)" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule>
You'll need to place the code snippet after the
rules in the
web.config file. It should look similar to the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<clear />
<rule name="Redirect to https" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Permanent" />
<rule name="WordPress Rule" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
