Infertility Treatment: 7 Tips to Manage Stress
Infertility treatment can be physically uncomfortable, time-consuming, exhausting, and costly - all without a guarantee of success. The infertility experience for many can range from multiple diagnostic procedures through progressively more aggressive treatment options, all of which impose demands upon the emotional and physical self. It's no wonder that many women experience severe stress, depression, or anxiety during treatment for infertility.
It is difficult, although possible to relieve some of the stress and pressure of infertility treatment. Some tried-and-true stress control suggestions from former infertility patients and counselors include the following:Accept that you are experiencing a time of heightened stress and don't try to downplay or deny its effects. You may find that you need to cut back on some or all of your nonessential obligations or activities for a while. Give yourself permission to say 'no' to nonessential commitments and demands on your time. Don't suffer alone. Confide in a trusted friend, loved one, or support group. Social support networks can tremendously reduce feelings of stress and emotional pain. Many infertility clinics also offer support groups and/or counseling services. If you're trying to conceive as a couple, accept that your partner may also feel stress, depression, or anxiety and may not be able to provide all the emotional support you require. Join RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association. You should be able to find a local chapter in your area. Individual chapters sponsor support groups, newsletters, seminars, and lectures on treatment options. Both health care providers and patients make up the membership of this valuable organizational resource. Empower yourself with knowledge about the procedures and treatments you may need. After researching on the Web, write down a list of questions to take with you to your next appointment if you feel there are issues you'd like to discuss. Decide in advance with whom you want to share your experience. Plan some strategies for avoiding inappropriate questions and unwanted advice from colleagues and acquaintances. Discuss the possibility of treatment breaks with your doctor, if you feel that you need "time off" from the experience. Some people prefer to be treated every other month or every few menstrual cycles, while others are stressed by the waiting periods. Work with your doctor to find a treatment schedule that is comfortable for you. Know that it's common for women in the midst of treatment to experience feelings of depression or sadness. Sometimes these feelings are strongest when participating in baby or child centered functions. Don't feel guilty if you want to pass up the baby shower or child's birthday party to which you're invited. Taking care of yourself and your emotional needs is your top priority now.

text: Being an avid runner that likes to run in races, I find that there are many different calculations that I perform on a routine basis. It used to be I would have to use a number of online calculators or simply take the long route and do conversions myself. That was until I received my Android phone and found Running Calc. Running Calc is great! It contains a number of different running related calculations ranging from results predicting, splits, pace, and speed with both mile and kilometer options. It does all these calculations in one main screen that has an easy to use UI. I especially like how certain results are displayed dynamically in the title bar as you change input parameters. If you are a casual or serious runner, and you are looking for an accurate, easy to use running calculator with a number of options, I am certain that Running Calc will work for what you.

I wanted to Flickr cheat, but I didn't. I hope my 3-4 readers appreciate it.
On Monday we drove down to Gizdich Ranch and it was one of the best times I've had with just me and the kids. The drive down was beautiful and they behaved int he car, and behaved when we got there. The weather was perfect and the place was better than advertised, even though berry picking season has ended (that's their big deal there, the berry picking).
I'm not sure why they call it a ranch because it sure looked like a farm to me. Or orchard? I don't know. But I told the kids we were going to visit a fruit farm, and boy did they get excited about that!
Baby R was stoked about all the farm equipment that was just hanging around and then some farm hands would come over and turn them on and use them. It was mechanical heaven for him.
He was jumping around overjoyed at this backhoe and then I told him to say cheese and got into his tin soldier stance for some reason.
Kid C had to move in on his picture. She butted in and said "cheese!"
Can you see us?!
I put the camera on the timer ontop of a fertilizing machine and ran over below the windmill and beside the scarecrow.
The entire place was free, and you could just drive up and park, walk around whereever you pleased, they had a store, a pie shop (which also sold sandwiches), an antique shop and lots of barns where they actually processed the fruit. It was super laid back, so I let the kids play in the play-area and sat myself down at a picnic table under an apple tree.
So many tractors! So much freedom!
Which machine will I touch first!?
Aforementioned fertilizing machine. Later we saw the farm hands roll it over and hook it to a tractor and haul it into the apple orchard.
Kid C ate her whole sandwich and was being generally good so I let her take possession of the mixed berry pie. I also told her that it would be kind and loving to share with Baby R even though he didn't eat much sandwich and chased the farm dog around when he should have been eating. I thought it was cute watching them share.
These photos were taken at a birthday party they went to on Saturday afternoon...
My friend hired this company/couple to come and do their animal routine at the party. I hadn't ever really seen a kids' show at a party before so I was wondering how it would go. But they did such a good job! You can't really see Kid C, but both Baby R and her are helping hold up a python.
Baby R was the one kid that refused to sit down. I would get him to sit, then he'd pop back up, then sit, then pop, sit, pop...
He was really excited.
Kid and her front row seat. She was the first one on the mat when he laid it down, way before any of the kids were even aware that he was setting up.
I think he's got the guinea pig here.
Saturday morning, before the party, a bunch of Kevin's family went over to help his grandparents fix some stuff around the house.
Baby R played with these work gloves for a while until Gramps busted him. :)
He's clapping with them here and thinking himself very hilarious.
Again, thank heavens for Katheryn and Lisie, Kid C's idols.
She's extra good around them and she likes "chat" with them.

Hello guysssss!!!
I hope you're all good!! I'm back in uni now and the stress has most definitely kicked in. I know this is the last semester of uni/school for a lot of people, INCLUDING ME, so good luck!! I hope this last term is a successful one!
As we all know, during the Christmas period, many of us did a lot of travelling to spend the holidays with our loved ones. Some of you are lucky enough to travel really often for work and whatnot. As exciting and amazing as travelling can be, travelling via air can wreak absolute havoc on our hair and skin. The dry and cold air up there and the rough material on the seats can result in disaster. When I was living in LA, I was travelling loadssss between LA, London and Lagos and my skin and hair suffered for it. In one particular instance, I flew 67 hours in 5 weeks! My hair and skin paid the price. So I've had to devise some tips and tricks in order to deal with this issue! Most of these suggestions apply to longer flights but adapt as needed!
Use heavier moisturisers on your hair & skin prior to flying
Before flying, I always try to make sure my skin and hair are super moisturised – I already have dry skin and hair and the plane air just turns everything into tumbleweed! So with my skin, instead of using my daily moisturiser, rosehip or argan oil, I use my nighttime moisturiser, shea butter or olive oil. With my hair, I will grab a hair cream (e.g. Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter) rather than one of my usual lighter leave ins (e.g. Kinky Curly Knot Today).
Try to fly make up free – or with as little make up as possible
Now I know we all wanna look cute because "the airport is our runway" (as my fave Victoria Beckham once said) but having good skin is very important to me! I always go make up free when I'm flying because I find that make up dries my skin out even more when I'm on the plane. If you don't wanna give up the make up, a good compromise is to wear make up for the airport and take it off using your favourite wipes (I love the Simple wipes) when the plane takes off. OR you could try using a light powder or tinted moisturiser rather than foundation.
Wear a simple protective style for the flight
I alwayssssss have my hair in a bun for a flight. Not only because of the dry cold air but also because I find that the material used on plane seats is kinda rough and my hair gets caught in it. I'm not saying you have to install box braids just for the flight lol but if it's a longer flight, I would advise buns, twists, cornrows or wigs (if you wear them).
Carry your satin scarf/pillowcase on the plane
I do this all the time with zero shame. As soon as I get on the plane, I put my satin pillowcase (email me on firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like a Nature's Locks Satin Pillowcase) or scarf around my little travel pillow that I put behind my head/neck – it makes ALL the difference to your face and hair.
Constantly hydrate your skin on board
I don't play with this one haha! Especially if it's a long flight (I consider a long flight 6+ hours). I carry a travel-size bottle/tub of a moisturiser I like and I apply it periodically to my skin. It really really helps keep your face hydrated and stops your skin looking all cracked and dry when you land. Another great alternative I just discovered is rose water – it refreshes the skin and moisturises it so well. You can also use it on your hair. PLUS it is said to be a great stress reliever so, if you're a nervous flyer like me, this might help.
Get lots of rest before and after your flight
We all know how stressful and tiring travelling can be – long lines, delays, overzealous security people patting you down, lost luggage etc etc! Try to get loadsssss of rest before and after flying so you can be rested and rejuvenated when you arrive at your location. Believe it or not, a lack of rest affects the health of your hair and skin.
Drink loadssss of water onboard
This one is really important. We all know how important it is to drink water constantly but that importance doubles when it comes to flying. As I said, the air on the plane is dry and cold, which can leave you super dehydrated and which can translate to your hair and skin. I've noticed that most airlines don't give you enough water so I always buy a few bottles in the airport. Don't skimp on the water!
There we have it, guys!! Most of us love to travel. But your wanderlust shouldn't translate to dry skin and brittle hair!! I hope these tips work for you. If you have any tips to add, share below!

Ask Siggi: Polyglot's Secret to Learning Languages
There are plenty of language learning myths that circulate around the internet....
Myth: You have to be really smart to learn a second language. You have to be a genius to know more than 2.
Myth: Multilingual people are extraordinarily intelligent
Myth: "Normal" people can't learn multiple languages
Myth: There is a secret formula that polyglots use to learn languages. If I find out what it is, I can learn them really fast too.
I have been asked countless times how I can learn languages the way I do. I must have something special or know something you don't know, right? There's no way normal people could get a skill like this, right?
Well, it would be cool if I was that special or that smart. I would love to gush and tell you how much of a genius I am and that you are so lucky to have found my website but, well, that would be a big fat lie. Sure, I can stroke my ego or let my mom tell me how smart I am but really, I'm not that much different than anyone else.
A lot of language learning blogs or products will say they found the language learning "secret" and now you can learn 100 languages right now! A lot of them will say "this secret makes learning languages so easy" or how you can't learn a language without having the knowledge they have. A lot of times, they will want you to opt-in to receive this "secret". You have to put in your email address, sign up for a class, buy a book, join this community...
I mean, we've all seen this, right? And honestly, I've looked at a few of these. That is totally okay!
But realize that there is no magic formula that will make you a multilingual person.
You can't buy this book and guarantee to learn a language in a month or a week or whatever. You can't listen to this one guy's tips for learning a language and expect that you will be able to learn 6 unhindered. Unfortunately, it doesn't work this way.
No doubt, many of these people are offering valuable tips and lessons. I'm not trying to say they don't know what they are talking about but you can't tell people "this is THE SECRET to learning languages!" or "the BEST WAY to become fluent is THIS ONE WAY FOR EVERYONE!" I wish it was that easy. I'd probably know 100 languages and be a millionaire.
While there is no universal secret, polyglots and avid language learners have several things in common. We:
-Are committed to learning a language.
-Are willing to put aside time and exert the effort.
-Are passionate about learning languages.
-Found a method that works for us and we stick to it.
-Don't give up (at least not for long!).
Learning a language is hard. It takes effort. Polyglots don't necessarily find learning languages easy or simple-they just know what works for them. They still have to put in all the effort that you do. I wish I was a language super hero but alas, I am not.
What can you do to learn languages like a polyglot?
This is hard for pretty much everyone. It is hard to continue to be passionate about learning something where you won't see the results for a long time. You may not understand everything you're doing and you may not see progress. You must keep going!
Make mistakes. All of them. All the time.
Making mistakes is terrifying. I hate it. It can be embarrassing (boy I have some stories for you guys!). But it is a part of life. Become comfortable with the fact that you will mess up. That is how you learn. If you make a mistake and someone corrects you, trust me, you'll remember it better than if you read it in a book.
Practice everyday.
This doesn't mean you have to attend a 4 hour class everyday or read your textbook cover to cover every evening but do something in your target language each day. It can be simple, like doing a round on Duolingo or Memrise, use your flashcards. And a couple times a week, have more in depth lessons. Keep your target language at the forefront of your mind.
Listen to your target language endlessly.
Podcasts, videos, news updates, TV shows, radio, songs, anything! There are so many resources for you to listen to your target language. Hearing the sounds of the language will make it easier for you to speak, pronounce, and pick up.
Create a schedule and stick to it.
It's easy to get behind on your language learning if you don't have a schedule or goals to keep track of. Make some goals. Make a realistic schedule. Track your progress and reap the rewards.
How do I learn languages?
I can give you my secret to learning languages but realize that it may be different for everyone! Let me break it up into levels.
Learning A1 Level: Don't touch the grammar
Tools: Flashcards, Duolingo, Memrise, Quizlet, good ol' fashioned writing and speaking
Don't use any books to teach you the grammar or spelling rules. Do not use any language learning textbooks.
You can't learn a language by studying grammar rules.
Learn the most common, polite phrases and basic sentences and be able to recall these from memory and spell them.
You will use these the most, especially when you first start using the language.
Learn these phrases and words only by using them, not by memorizing grammar rules or structure.
Do not memorize the grammar.
Learn by speaking and listening.
Learn by usage.
Learning A2 Level: Probably still don't touch the grammar
Tools: Flashcards, Duolingo, Memrise, Quizlet, practice writing and speaking, children's songs, books or articles
Learn by speaking.
Talk to yourself. Ask yourself questions. Answer questions. Pronounce things that are hard
Learn by listening.
Listen to native speakers. Go on YouTube and look up basic phrases of your target language and get a feel for what they sound like. Listen to children's music. You will slowly pick up more and more words.
Learn phrases and words together, not as chunks of grammatical fluff.
Again-you can't learn a language by memorizing grammar.
Read any books or articles.
This will be hard at first but as you increase your vocabulary it will get easier.
Learning B1 Level: Okay, you can look at some grammar now
Tools: Language learning textbook, Memrise, Duolingo, WordBrewery, Quizlet, Music, Podcasts, books and articles
Read up on the basic rules and grammar of the language.
You've already learned quite a bit. Figure out why it looks the way it looks. Figure out the patterns and the rules with real examples. It will help you remember and apply it to future phrases and terms. Relearn your phrases and sentences that you've already studied and apply the rules where you can see them.
Listen to your target language.
Your vocabulary and understanding of grammar is increasing. Listen to different music in your target language, learn to sing along with some of your favorite songs. Listen to a language learning Podcast. Listen to a radio station in your language. Watch videos or shows in your language on YouTube. Pick up what you can, take note of what you don't understand. Rewatch and relisten.
Learn your vocabulary in context.
Use websites like WordBrewery and LingQ so that you can see how words are used and remember their translation or definition this way.You will learn sentences and increase your vocabulary.
Never stop talking to yourself.
Okay you might look nuts. But that's okay...it will be cool because it is in a new language!
Learning B2 Level: Kick it into gear
Tools: Language learning textbook, Memrise, Duolingo, WordBrewery, Quizlet, Music, Podcasts, books and articles, TV shows, News, immersion days, access to speakers of your target language
Continue what you started in B1.
These are great tools to learn and practice what you've learned. Continue these and build upon these skills.Learn more about grammar and come up with some real examples to show these rules. Don't memorize the rules, remember the sentences.
Incorporate Immersion Days.
Days or large chunks of days where you can commit to only using your target language.
Read articles and listen to the news.
You may not understand. These typically have words we aren't used to or advanced terms and phrases. Read what you can. Re-read and re-watch as much as you need to.
Find other speakers.
Maybe it's a club or a class. Maybe there is a church that offers services in your target language. Find a language exchange on Skype. There are plenty of ways to find a speaker but you need to start talking.
Learning C1 & C2: Talk, listen, talk, listen
These levels are hard to achieve on your own.
Keep speaking your target language with other speakers.
Practice talking and listening.
Read and listen to the news regularly.
This can be tough as they don't dumb down any words. Take advantage of that.
Read books.
Very hard. Very worth it.
Continue your other practicing methods and listening methods. This will keep it fresh.
The most effective way to learn a language is not the American way by memorizing grammar rules and then learning phrases. Learn the language by reading, speaking, listening. Learn the language by learning another subject through the language.
There are no secrets to language learning. There are no tricks that will enable you to learn a foreign language quickly. It is dedication.
Read: Books, articles, children's books, websites, Wikipedia
Listen: Music, radio, podcasts, conversation recordings
Watch: TV, news, movies
Speak: Sing the songs, talk to yourself, talk to anyone
This is what works for me. I replicate this process with every language I have the urge to study.
This may not work for you! But the goal is to find a program or schedule that works for you and stick to it. Everyone learns different. It will take some trial and error but you can get there, I promise.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call - Review
Following on from the rather curious success that was Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Curtain Call is essentially an expansion to those that enjoyed the original game. Players start off by choosing from a selection of characters that span the gamut of Final Fantasy titles. There's the obvious inclusions, such as Cloud and Squall, as well as some of the lesser known characters from the series' MMO installments.
For those that never played the original Theatrhythm game two years ago, it's basically a rhythm-action game, but one that also layers over some perfunctory RPG elements as well. All of the game's "levels" are musical tracks from various Final Fantasy titles that come in three different varieties. Battle stages have you line up like in a typical turn-based battle and tap the stylus to the corresponding button presses that fly across on-screen. The more accurate you are, the more damage you do to the enemy. Miss an input and your HP pool will take a hit.
Field stages have you travel across the screen and try to reach the end as quickly as possible, gaining bonuses for how fast you are and the number of prompts you hit correctly, event stages work in a similar fashion but follow a short video clip on-screen.
Characters level up as you successfully complete stages, and this is where the RPG elements come in. Depending on your party, you'll have different abilities that can be equipped in order to improve your efficiency, by increasing damage output, say, or by equipping abilities that minimize the effects of failed button prompts. Different stats are necessary in different levels too, ensuring that there's some strategy involved in party composition. Battle stages, for example require characters with high strength or magic in order to kill more enemies, whilst field stages benefit someone with high agility who can travel faster.
It's an incredibly charming game. Characters hop along with weird bobble heads and buttons for eyes but are still instantly recognizable. Much like Final Fantasy Dissidia, Curtain Call is very much fan service to the series' long-term followers. The thrill of switching on seven's "Fight On" or four's remix of the classic battle theme are likely to trigger waves of nostalgia. The collection of just over two hundred songs is, for the most part, a huge tribute to Nobuo Uematsu who composed the majority of the series' music.
If there's one slight disadvantage to having Final Fantasy's aural history all shoved into one game it's that it also highlights some of the game's weaker music. This is most notable in the series' more recent output, with Final Fantasy XIII and its sequel in particular reaching for more generic-sounding classical and metal influences, rather than the more quirky and off-beat sensibilities of the earlier games.
Given that a campaign-like mode is rather difficult to create in this kind of game, Square Enix have instead opted to give you so we different ways to play that you won't question the lack of a concrete beginning and end, so to speak. Curtain Call is incredibly open-ended, allowing you to constantly dip in and out of it whenever you want, which definitely fits in well with its portable aspect.
Quests are perhaps the game's meatiest portion of gameplay, as you travel from stage-to-stage in order to eventually defeat a boss level. Healing doesn't occur between levels without the use of items, encouraging players to actually get to grips with the game's systems in order to succeed. Likewise, the quests are tiered at different levels, meaning some of the later ones will require some grinding in order to play effectively.
Online play is the other mode on offer and it's also handled relatively well. The aim here is to take on another player (or A.I.) in a one-on-one battle with the winner being the one who scores more points by the end of the song. In order to mix things up a little, there's also an additional meter that fills that will have a negative impact on your rival. This can include making prompts travel faster, or forcing their timing to be more precise. Some of the handicaps here can be pretty cruel and, whilst they are a pretty decent way of ensuring that even weaker players have a shot at winning against someone much better than them, some of the effects (namely HP swap) do come across as a little cheap.
The bigger question with Curtain Call is just how long you'll be willing to play it. Once the nostalgia has been wiped away there's little here that hasn't been achieved by other rhythm games in the past. Perhaps the biggest sour note however goes to the game's DLC, which locks away some of the tracks, and a few characters, behind a pay wall. It's a shameless cash-grab, there's nothing "new" being developed here, given that the audio is lifted from other games. Quite why people will want to download additional music, that can already be experienced on the internet, just to have a few button prompts layered over it, is something of a mystery.
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is more a collector's curio than it is a genuinely good game. It certainly works as a portable title, with its pick-up-and-play aspect gelling well with the 3DS, but doesn't fare well with longer play sessions. It's arguably a better celebration of the series' past than Dissidia ever was, simply by bringing to the fore the music that has played an incredibly important role in the game's since the original.
Square Enix have been banking on the series' nostalgia factor for several years now and perhaps with Curtain Call we've seen the grand finale of those efforts. Now they just need to get back to making a good game...
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call was released, in the UK, on September 19th, exclusively for the 3DS.

Entrepreneurship is a roller coaster ride, at times you really feel higher like nothing at all can cease you from your objectives whereas there are instances when you feel low and commence doubting you confidence. You can share your difficulties and solutions on discovering housing, managing family members expectations, how to pay for the trip, ideas on running your existing enterprise and a lot more. It fees uplines nothing to sign a person up – they may possibly drive to present the opportunity to a person, these that do on the internet may well send a welcome pack with a rounds book and so forth. What I was stating is that numerous foreigners skirt the law by getting a Thai partner run the front of the organization while the foreigner (real owner) runs the business in the background.
Wednesday comes and it's out to get them back , oh dear they haven't been place out even though it mentioned Wednesday on the book, knock on the door , ask for book. Also just due to the fact I made that statement does not imply that I want to start my own organization or run a company. In fact 50{64b0bb9d01f43c984a7c0276e079782fce42363dd19a1198e8ea5a9943f8b602} of franchisees will fail out of company sometime inside the 1st 5 years and the status quo functions tough to keep this statistic out of the view of potential franchise purchasers. There are Enormous differences in owning your personal company and buying into a franchise.
Owning your own business will give you control on how much you work, what your time is worth, and how significantly you can potentially earn. Book publishers bundle authors and share the experience of their employees, their sales force, and their capital in order to bring books to readers. I have been visiting enterprise owners, sharing the what, when and how we can do this with each other. In his company persona, he was energetic, eager to network, and a fantastic talker.
After you consider you have identified a supplier, negotiate with them, letting them know that you are starting a new candy business. You can hear Dave speak about some of his stories on a current episode of Things We Mentioned Right now." A new interview with Morrell will be in the next situation of Beatlefan. When mom was a young girl around the late 1920s early 30's, she constantly dreamed of show organization or fame of sorts.
There are some negative company owners who are able to obtain a specific quantity of achievement for a restricted time, but it is inevitable that these unethical practices will catch up with them. I, nevertheless, whilst nicely established, was nevertheless increasing my enterprise and had not invested the time necessary in expanding beyond this single client. That's since, normally, there aren't a lot of cracking business stories to be followed more than a 72 hour period in which British markets have shut down. A organization can need employees to have limitless availability even if those staff are not full time.

There's nothing I love more than reading a good book and drinking a nice cup of tea. I feel like books and hot drinks just go together. I also have a deep love for classic novels. I'm convinced Coffee and a Classic was made for me and others who want nothing more than to read in peace and sip their tea. Each month Coffee and a Classic send you a themed box. You get a classic novel and a really cool mug. They also include little things to go with it. Sometimes we forget about how awesome classic novels are, so this is a great way to revisit those stories that made us fall in love with literature.
I love the theme of this box because it's nature/woods themed. Another thing I would want to mention is that the box all of the items come in is a photo box. I can't wait to reuse it as a memory box.
I love this subscription box and I'm so happy I've been able to work with them to bring this review to you all. I definitely recommend this box for book and tea (or coffee drinkers).
*This box was sent to me for a review but all opinions are my own

I held a Golden Comet chick yesterday...born on Monday. ♥ Here are the other 5:
A total of six 3 day old chicks...
The chick Olivia is holding here is a black Australorp.
This black chick with white on its head, on Olivia's knee should be a Barred Rock chick! I specifically wanted one of these, so hopefully it will be coming home with us, after Betsy raises them. We're also hoping to take home one of the araucanas, too. Her husband just built a wonderful coop and they will be keeping 4 of these chicks.

Rockets Notes: Lakers tickets go on sale today
Tickets for Games 3 and 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers will go on sale at noon today at the Toyota Center box office, by telephone at 713-627-DUNK (3865), online at www.rockets.com or at select Randall's locations.
Tickets start at $18 per ticket, with each individual allowed to purchase up to eight tickets per game.
Definitely maybe
Rockets guard Ron Artest said Wednesday that he considered Portland's Brandon Roy the finest player he has faced.
Asked Thursday what makes Roy better than Kobe Bryant, LeBron James or Dwyane Wade, Artest went a different direction.
"I don't know; that was yesterday," Artest said. "This is a new day. I feel I'm the best, so this is a new day.
"He's a good player. He might be better. I don't know. I don't know how to judge who's better. It's not like everyone was taken off their teams for a year and all the role players had to show what they got, so you don't know who is as important to their team. There's no secret he's a good player."
In an interview with TNT on Wednesday, Artest said: "Roy is probably the best player I've played against; to me he is the best shooting guard. Not on defense now, defense is kind of suspect. He's the best player I've played against."
Wafer cleared
Rockets guard Von Wafer returned home after his morning treatment for back spasms aching more about being out for Thursday's game than with the injury.
The Rockets had announced he was out with a bulging disk and listed him as day-to-day. But Wafer, 23, decided he would go through a pregame workout and prove he could play through the pain.
"I felt good in the workout," Wafer said before Rockets team physician Dr. Tom Clanton cleared him to play. "It's not really tough. I just want to be out there with my teammates. I was home today. I thought I wouldn't be able to play. I just thought about my teammates. I wanted to be there. I just want to play."
Though the Rockets went into Thursday's game with a 3-2 lead in the series with the Trail Blazers, Wafer said he told himself Thursday's game would decide the first-round series.
"I think this is Game 7," he said. "That's what kind of approach I'm taking into it, like this is Game 7."
Wafer wound up playing 16 minutes and scored five points in the win.
Fernandez creates
As expected, Rudy Fernandez was in the starting lineup for the first time in the series for the Trail Blazers in Game 6, replacing Nicolas Batum at small forward.
Fernandez averaged 8.6 points and shot 8-for-16 from 3-point range in the first five games of the series.
Fernandez scored seven points and had four rebounds in 35 minutes off the bench in Game 5, and coach Nate McMillan said his presence creates space on the floor for others to operate.
"I think we have guys that can play and I think having Rudy on the floor, that's one more threat," McMillan said. "Not to say Nick is not a threat, but Rudy has made more 3s and Rudy's more of an offensive player."
Coming around
Asked what sort of performance he thought he would need for the Rockets to win Game 6, Rockets guard Ron Artest said "awesome."
He amended that to say the team needed to play awesome. He amended that to say it needed only to play "solid."
Artest had seemed to struggle with his shot in the first five games of the series, making 37.7 percent and averaging 13.4 points, but he said he has not.
"I don't think it is that I'm struggling, or anything like that," he said. "We're just playing team ball."
Preparation time
Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan said he prepared for Thursday's game as if Rockets guard Von Wafer would play.
Wafer originally had been ruled out with a back problem, but was cleared to play before the game.
"We got the note early (Thursday) morning that he was out, but he was warming up and looked pretty good," McMillan said. "If they don't go with Von, they've got a few ways they can go with their two guards, (Aaron) Brooks and (Kyle) Lowry, or bring Brent (Barry) in."
Blazers' sick call
Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy, who had to have intravenous fluids prior to Game 5 after suffering from flu-like symptoms, had improved by game time Thursday night, coach Nate McMillan said.
"He's OK," McMillan said. "It's game time. He's not 100 percent, but he feels better than he did last game."
Forward LaMarcus Aldridge was dealing with a sore right elbow.
"It feels a little sore, but I don't think it will be nothing that affects my play (Thursday night)," he said.

You are here: St
Kilda Today > Studying the
Natural Environment
Because of
its geographical position, St Kilda has a restricted flora compared
with the Scottish mainland, with many families of plants poorly
represented. Even so, a total of 174 species of flowering plants
have been recorded from the islands. There are no proper trees or
shrubs - least willow and creeping willow are both present, but
these only grow a few inches high. As the land is no longer cultivated,
there are no arable weeds. However, there may still be dormant seeds
lying beneath the previously cultivated parts of the islands, which
might germinate if the soil was disturbed.

The traditional ball-type automatic balancer consisting of several balls moving on a circular orbit is widely used in the optical disk drive industry for vibration reduction. Under proper working conditions, the balls can counterbalance the imbalance of a disk by positioning to appropriate angles relative to the mass center of the disk. This particular equilibrium position is referred to as the perfect balancing position. The proper working conditions are closely related to the stability of the perfect balancing position, which, in turn, depends on the parameters of the system, such as rotational speed, imbalance ratio, and damping ratios. To achieve perfect balancing, the system parameters must lie in the stable region of the perfect balancing position in the parameter space. An automatic balancer with a wider stable region can tolerate a larger amount of variations in the system parameters and hence is more robust. In this study, we propose a modified ball-type balancer composed of several ball-rod-spring units. In each unit, the ball can slide along the rod while the rod rotates freely about the spindle. The ball's displacement along the rod is restrained by a radial spring. The additional degree of freedom in the radial direction could broaden the stable region of the perfect balancing position. To understand the fundamental properties of the modified balancer, we studied the dynamic characteristics of a modified balancer with one ball-rod-spring unit. Specifically, we built a theoretical model for an optical disk drive packed with the modified balancer, and investigated how equilibrium positions and the associated stability are related to primary system parameters and the effects of the stiffness of the radial spring on the stable region of the perfect balancing position. Numerical results indicate that the ball-rod-spring balancer may possess a larger stable region of the perfect balancing position compared to the traditional fixed-orbit balancer.

For the past one month, the most talked about topical issues rocking the nation and diverting attention of the populace from all the unfortunate event in the country, like; oil subsidy fund misappropriation, the embezzlement of pension fund, the Boko Haram insurgents, the failed cashless policy project of the Central Bank etc., has been the currency restructuring; introducing higher currency value and coining of lesser currency note.
The apex bank in Nigeria has come up with so much to there defense, which in totality, sums up to nothing on the side of the people they represent. Nigeria's most revered economist, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, has also come out in support of the Central Bank saying it will in no little way culminate into inflation in the economy of the country, while other economist has also come down heavily on the Central Bank of Nigeria, saying it is a free invitation to inflation in the country and was done with little or no consultation and not in the best interest of poor masses. Now the question is, who is confusing who in Nigeria? Is it going to come down to who attended the best school and excellently passed his economics course? We ordinary Nigerians have our fingers crossed as these drama unfolds.
Summation from the side of the masses on the coinage of lower denomination notes, drawn from the history books and recent happenings, and strongly tying it to our way of life, and the general behaviour of the people towards the coin, is absolutely wrongly perceived by the people. Everything is tied on the value attached to the coin. Before now Nigerians go through trade by bater and later moved to native white bead till they transformed into the use of coin and, Nigerians welcomed it whole heartedly, because there is a value attached to it, it can be exchanged for goods and services. But todays Nigeria where things are now totally different from what it use to be, the N1 coin can not buy us anything from the market hence, the rejection of coin.
I still remember in those days, people who believed one thing or the other is affecting there children, they go for consultation from the hands of native doctors and they are asked to buy our native calabash, put some food in it together with some few coins and drop it at place where two or more roads come together, this days we hardly come across such sacrifices with coins but instead with Naira notes, this signifies to our government that even the spirits no longer accept coin. How many times have our leaders attended burial or marriage ceremony and see people spray coin on the celebrants, where it has always been a show of affluence when they attend. Gone are those days when we give coin to children when going to Church because even Churches today have reasons to drop the coins, nor do we see our university students doing there annual rag-day celebration and we give them coin. It will be most surprising if the student don't stone the person with the coin. Another soul searching question for the Government to answer is, how much coin can they find in there pockets?
Reiterating the fact that Nigerians will accept coin if it has great value still hold water if the higher denomination are converted to coin. Imagine where the five and one thousand Naira note are coined, the five and two hundred Naira note are also coined, no Nigerian in his right frame of mind will ever reject coin. Both men and women will go as far as to sewing a cloth tied to there waist to carry the coin. It is not a thing of culture nor a thing of character that we do not accept coin but a thing of negative change in threshold of events in the country, Nigerians are susceptible to change. Give Nigerians reasons to accept coin and they will accept and spend it without complain.

Personal Information
Gerald Hatten Buss was born on January 27, 1933. He was an American businessman, investor, chemist, and philanthropist. He was the majority owner of the Los Angeles Lakers professional basketball team in the National Basketball Association.
Born in Salt Lake City, Buss was raised by his divorced mother, Jessie. When he was nine years old, he moved with his mother to Los Angeles; they moved to Kemmerer, Wyoming, three years later when she remarried. Buss earned a scholarship to the University of Wyoming, graduating with a B.S. degree in two and a half years in 1953. He then returned to Los Angeles and attended the University of Southern California (USC), where he earned an M.S. and Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1957 at the age of 24.
In 1979, he purchased the Los Angeles Lakers from Jack Kent Cooke for an estimated 67.5 million along with teams from different sports and property
Under Dr. Buss, it didn't take long for the Lakers to achieve ultimate success. The team selected Magic Johnson with the first pick in the 1979 NBA draft and, with fellow Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar already on the payroll and won the NBA title in 1980.
The Lakers would go on to claim five titles with Magic and 10 championships in 16 NBA Finals appearances in total under Buss, making Jerry the winningest owner in the history of North American professional sports.
The Lakers also enjoyed tremendous prosperity in the 2000s, thanks in no small part to the contributions of Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.
Buss was the first NBA owner to recognize the value of pro basketball as a form of entertainment, particularly with Hollywood situated so close by.
He turned courtside seats into hot commodities by raising prices to the point where the rich and famous would clamor after them.
He filled breaks in the action with the Laker Girls (the league's first dance team), Dancing Barry (who would dance his way through the crowds) and music pumped in through the PA system at the fabulous Forum.
The success and style of "Showtime" became the hallmark of Buss' tenure and the envy of so many outside of the city. Their games turned into occasions for stargazing, especially after Buss established the Forum Club, which attracted all manner of courtside celebrities.
Buss' model for sports as entertainment has since swept through not only the NBA, but also the sports world as a whole. His stewardship helped to transform the Lakers from a $16 million investment in the late 1970s to a global brand whose value Forbes recently estimated at $1 billion.
His vision, which included the expansion of the playoffs, elevated the Association to new heights, by reaching out to untapped demographics and pioneering a style of successful leadership that many have imitated.
But it's a style that none have yet duplicated, and no one likely ever will. His contributions to basketball were recognized by his induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010.
In 2012, Buss was in a hospital for months with an undisclosed intestinal problem. On February 14, 2013, four days before his death, it was revealed that Buss had been battling cancer since 2012.
After being hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with an undisclosed form of cancer, he died of kidney failure at 5:55 a.m. on February 18, 2013, aged 80.
