Mindful Communicating
If you have followed the journey on this web site through the science of global warming, the deadly consequences that may be awaiting us and our children, if you have examined the MIT greenhouse gamble pinwheel that shows that there is a 57% probability that our climate will warm by 5C or more, if you have learned how to tell the myths from the facts and learned how to spot a troll, if you have discovered how living mindfully can help change what is happening, you are ready to take the final big easy step. You are ready to tell others.
If you let people know what you know, if they agree that we are taking a risk we should not be taking, then the world will change.
Talk the Walk!
Many people are already living a mindful life. Many people already care deeply about the world that we are leaving to the next generations. Many people have said that they already do all the things suggested so far; they consume mindfully, they notice where their food comes from, they travel in the least destructive ways, and they always vote. These people walk the talk. But just as important as walking the talk, is talking the walk!
We need to let people know what we know.
There are people who do not want us to act. Acting to eliminate the risk we are taking threatens the perceived livelihood of vested interests, especially in the fossil fuel industries. The threat to their earnings today may be real, but ultimately the changes that are coming at us, the changes that are already upon us, will affect them and their families as well. It is in everyone's best interest that we recognize clearly what we are doing and take the necessary steps to end the gamble. We cannot allow the vested interests, the trolls and other distracting parties to divert us from what we need to do. We need to let people know what we know.
Six Degrees of Separation
There is a belief that everyone on this planet is separated from everyone else by only 6 people. You are, at most, 6 friends away from knowimg anyone and everyone. You know someone, who knows someone, ... who knows President Obama and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. You are also just 6 friends away from knowing a starving family in Darfur and an Arctic resident who has just lost their home due to permafrost melt. You are just 6 friends away from a resident of Tuvalu who may have to move her whole family to New Zealand in a few years, as rising sea level floods her country.
This 6 degrees of separation cannot only help us care about the consequences today of global warming, but it can help us get the word out to everyone. We are in this together. Through a true grassroots movement, we can ensure that we overcome the myths being spread by slick public relations firms and a few energetic trolls, and educate everyone to the risks we all face.
Start with the big easy first. Talk to your friends or family members who you know are somewhat concerned but confused. There is no need to begin with "Old Uncle Joe" who will never change his mind. Start with the people who are easy to talk to. Let them know what you know. Talk about the risks we are running. Even if they are not sure what to believe, ask them if they are 100% sure that there is not a problem. Remember, we insure our houses and our cars even though there is a very small possibility that we may lose them. We do so because the consequences are just too dire to take the risk of losing them.
We do not need to be scientists to benefit from what science is telling us. We do not have to listen to singular voices of this scientist or that spokesman. When the world's leading scientific organizations speak with one voice, we need to listen. Remember, the
US National Academy of Sciences
(the NAS) is the highest scientific body in the States, over 140 years old and founded by Abraham Lincoln to be the supreme court of science in the USA, and, despite many voices trying to drown them out, this prestigious body has basically said several times that:
The climate is changing
We are the ones causing it
And the consequences will be bad.
The top scientific organizations in the largest economies of the world have agreed with the NAS and have made
similar statements
. One or two oil company or coal company spokesmen, or a few unpublished scientists, should not dissuade you. Beware of trolls and astroturf.
Live Mindfully
When your friends and family agree that we shouldn't be taking this great greenhouse gamble, share with them what we can do. Explain the 3 Mindfulness Practices. Send them to this web site or print out the one page summary and give it to them. Explain how simply changing our diet and reducing our consumption of meat will have a huge impact. Let them know that being aware of where what we buy came from can also make a big difference in the amount of carbon we emit. Suggest a no-car day once or twice a week, just to see how easy it can be. Then...
Encourage People to Vote!
Once you have explained the risk that we are taking, or directed your friends and family to the resources listed in this site, ask them to vote. Convince them to vote as if their hair was on fire. That's an old Zen saying, but it means ... this is really important!
There is always a next election. Just a few more voters can make a huge difference. In fact, just mentioning our intention to vote a certain way to pollsters and directly to the candidates can make the difference, even before an election is held. It costs you nothing to vote. This is one of the easiest of the 3 big easy things you can do. Everyone can do it. Simply vote! Vote federally or nationally, vote provincially or at the state level, and vote locally at the city level. Find out what each candidate is saying about global warming, evaluate his or her platform carefully, and then make your decision mindfully.
After talking to your friends and family, mention what you know to your coworkers. Spread the word! You do not have to be annoying and obnoxious, just talk to as many people as you can calmly, share what you know, and then ...
Get Them to Talk to Others
Pay it forward. If your friends, coworkers, family members agree that we are taking a risk that we should not be taking, if they agree that the 3 Mindfulness Practices can make the difference, then ask them to tell their friends and families. They need to talk the walk too.
If you run a blog, blog about this. If you are a writer, write about this. If you are a teacher, teach it ... make a documentary or create a web page! If you just like to talk, talk about this! Email this web site address to others. Get the word out. Let people know what you know and share what we can do.
Be Committed
While these mindfulness practices are easy and they will make a big difference, we still have to be committed to change and determined to end the gamble we are taking with our environment. We still have to do the work. Live with intention and attention. Live mindfully.
"To be mindful is to be truly alive, present and at one with those around you and with what you are doing. We bring our body and mind into harmony while we wash the dishes, drive the car or take our morning shower."
Plum Village - Art of Living Mindfully
Aware of the damage to our planet and the suffering to come caused by silence, ignorance and apathy, I resolve to communicate what I know about the current state of our environment and to share with everyone what we can do about it.
Talk to friends, relatives and co-workers
Tell them about the risk we are taking
Tell them about the 3 Mindfulness Practices
Ask them to talk, email and communicate to others
Get them to vote!

Marion County RECORD
Vol. 148 , No. 3
Wednesday, October 12, 2016
Marion, KS 66861
Veteran soared on long-delayed honor flight
Going on an Honor Flight for veterans gave Stan Harms of Marion something he didn't get when he returned from the war in Vietnam: Appreciation and respect. The group of 56 veterans, escorts, and Honor Flight organizers was applauded at St. Louis when they changed planes, at receptions, and upon return to Wichita. At Wichita, all other passengers left the plane first, then the Honor Flight passengers deplaned together. A bagpiper, applause, gifts, and salutes were waiting for them.
Economic docs must be simpler
County commissioners sent their economic development committee back to the drawing board Monday, rejecting a list of charter principles presented by the committee as too complex for average people to understand. Last week, three members of the committee presented a letter to commissioners outlining the county's top 10 development challenges and its proposed charter principles.
From horses to horsepower
The longtime, stoic image of a cowboy galloping upon horseback may just need to be retooled a tick to more accurately portray how some area ranchers often drive cattle. Just ask county rancher Chuck McLinden. Between what he owns and manages for other landowners, he tends a rather sizeable operation of approximately 5,000 head of cattle that roam about 18,000 acres of pasture.
Commission eyes Straub building
County commissioners directed county attorney Susan Robson to get bids for inspection of the former Straub International building in Marion, but say they aren't ready to disclose why the county is eyeing the property. Commissioners toured the building last week.
Phone scam reportedly has Marion number
A possible telephone credit card fraud scheme could be using the City of Marion as its cover identity, city officials said last week. "We had a person call and say that he received a phone call and didn't realize it was a credit card scam," Tiffany Jeffrey said. "On his caller ID, it came up as 'Marion, City of,' and the phone number was a 382 number."
Elliott recovering from scary head injury

Fifth's Disease crops up in county
A case of Fifth's Disease recently was confirmed at Peabody-Burns Elementary School, according to principal Ron Traxson, who sent out a notice to parents of PBES students as a public safety reminder. Fifth's Disease is a mild rash illness spread by respiratory secretions, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fifth's disease is usually mild for children and adults who are otherwise healthy, and may sometimes go unnoticed.
East Park contractor penalized by city
A company working on improvements to East Park will lose $9,000 for delays in getting the work done. Marion city council on Tuesday voted to enforce a clause in its contract with Trinium, Inc., of Manhattan, that the company would lose $1,000 for each day they were late getting the job completed. Six days were permitted for weather delays. Trinium finished work 15 days late, resulting in the $9,000 dockage.
School bus stop signs mean stop
Marion police investigated reports of vehicles passing school buses while the stop sign arm was outstretched in September. Assistant Chief Clinton Jeffrey said there is a common misconception about school bus stop signs.
Electrical problem amuses students
Centre students had just arrived at school last Wednesday and were preparing for their first class when something odd occurred. Some classrooms had light while others didn't. Some electrical outlets worked and others didn't.

Grain is busting out all over
If American farmers have been given the task of feeding the world, they seem to be doing a good job of producing the grain to do it. "Two back to back good harvest years are putting a strain on storage all over the country," Cooperative Grain and Supply grain coordinator Dean Tippin said.
Hooves vs. wheels
It might not quite be a question as old as time, but several area cowboys and ranchers recently weighed in on benefits and drawbacks of driving cattle with horses vs. all-terrain vehicles or 4-wheelers. Cowboy and longtime horseman Eric Soyez has ridden both enough to have a preference.
Weather impacting harvest
With all of the rain the county has been receiving, harvest has been complicated for some farmers. "Everything right now has been slow," Marion extension office manager Ricky Roberts said. "We're slow to get the wheat in, slow to get the corn off, slow to get the beans off, and it's just slow and why that is is because cause of all the dang wet weather."
Honey bees not on endangered species list
Headlines across the globe recently proclaimed bees have become an endangered species. However, of the 20,000 species of bees in the world, just seven were placed on the list. None of them were honey bees.

Life is a gift
Every day I awake after sleeping for an amount of hours. Sometimes on a stretch and other times my sleep was interrupted, just to dose back off again.
Just like many other things in life, no one taught us how to sleep. It's just something we do naturally like breathing and crying. Sometimes sadness makes us cry, but so can joyfulness.
In my early teens I used to have these visions of me playing music in a band on stage. My friends would be standing in the crowd enjoying what I was doing on stage. Cheering me on as I was taking all sorts of beautiful solo's. As I encouraged my imagination to take me to these moments where time didn't exist, the feeling that came with it kept getting stronger and stronger. Even though I could not play any instrument at the time, in my mind I not only created the scene visually, but I could feel all the feelings and emotions of joy that came with it.
Back then I never once questioned it all. It just happened. In my mind I was this virtuoso and in realty I never played an instrument. This had to change so I started picking my mind where I could get my hands on an electrical instrument. Then it hit me. Down the street where I lived was this church that Miss Woods used to give service to the community. They had instruments there. And yes you guessed it.
Off I was down the road to the church. As I entered I noticed Miss Woods preparing for the service later that evening. And I asked: "Miss Woods? Would you mind if I just played a little on the bass guitar." "Oh of course I don't mind sunny boy, here, sit and play please". You can imagine what went through me as I sat and held that instrument and began to play. "You sound like those American musicians sunny boy, would you like to come and play with us this evening? Our bass player is sick and you may temporarily take his place". Yessssss! I said I will be there 07:00 sharp.
I went home feeling all jolly and proud. I told my grandmother, "I will be playing in the Woods Church this evening" "What, but you can't play Donchy" Oh yes I can, ask Miss Woods. Seven o'clock sharp I showed up and grabbed the bass ready to play. By now the children's choir started entering the Church and other known local people. There was also another musician, a guitarist named Lenny Lake. When we were about to start Lenny said to me: "The song is in F." I knew where F was on the fret board "Yea ok".
As we began to play, it was not sounding right, I could not find the right notes. The second song, same thing and the children were starting to look at me in a strange way. By now I was nervous and could not concentrate on the music. Then I turned and looked around and saw the Bass man outside the window. I called him, I said: "Chris, come play." He said: "No, you keep playing". I said: "come on boy, come play." After he took the bass, sat and carried on with the service, I left the Church for home. On the way home I looked up to the stars and thought: "Boy, you have allot to learn".

Find Newborn Cloth Diaper Supplies Belmont
- 0.1 6 Reasons that Fabric Diapers Are Much better Than Disposables (And also 1 Reason Why They Ain't).
- 0.2 1. Towel Diapers are more affordable.
- 0.3 2. Cloth baby diapers are way much better for the setting.

6 Reasons that Fabric Diapers Are Much better Than Disposables (And also 1 Reason Why They Ain't).
When many people think of fabric baby diapers, they think of a big scarf that you place on with safety and security pins. As well as perhaps a diaper service that comes as well as selects them up.
Well, some households still go that route, and that's terrific. However that ain't what I'm discussing.
I'm discussing the brand-new college of cloth diaper. New textiles, incredibly absorbing pads, easy to place on and also remove, simple to cleanse in your personal washer and clothes dryer.
These diapers are great. And also they're way far better compared to disposables. Right here's why.
1. Towel Diapers are more affordable.
Disposable diapers will establish you back a minimum of $2,000 prior to your kid is potty trained. As well as if you purchase premium or naturally degradable alternatives, that number will look even more like $3,000.
Whereas twenty of the most pricey cloth baby diapers will certainly set you back much less compared to $400. Factor in detergent and water expenses, and you're still taking a look at half the cost of disposables.
2. Cloth baby diapers are way much better for the setting.
A typical kid will certainly undergo anywhere from 4 to 8 thousand diapers in his/her life.
Nationwide, parents in the UNITED STATE use an estimated 27.4 billion non reusable baby diapers yearly. That's around 3.4 million tons of baby diapers that wind up in garbage dumps annually.
Now consider all the trees that are made use of to make the diapers. And all the plastic, which is made from petroleum. All the chemicals utilized at the same time. As well as the water. Then all that water and also chemicals going back to the atmosphere as waste. The plastic product packaging, the transportation– aircrafts as well as vehicles hauling those baby diapers around the world– not to point out the power you utilize owning to the shop and also back. And afterwards the power used to generate your garbage bags, the trucks to transport that trash to the garbage dumps, the devices utilized to manage the land fill.
The environmental footprint of disposable diapers is startling.
Compare that to using the same twenty towel baby diapers over and also over, cleaning them with secure detergent in a high performance washer. There's simply no contest.
The number of diapers a kid utilizes comes from the conventional estimate of six daily x 365 x 2 years = 5475 diapers used.

3. Cloth baby diapers are a lot more absorbing.
I speak here from experience. With a cloth baby diaper, I do not need to alter my infant in the middle of the evening. With disposables, I do.
There's the blowout factor. Fabric baby diapers are generous, and also they have. Disposables, not so much.
4. Disposable diapers contain unpleasant chemicals.
Save Mama Natural Cloth diapers are MEANS much better than disposable diapers IMHO. Right here are 6 fantastic needs to consider towel diapering (plus one reason they kinda have an odor).307 Mother NaturalMama Natural? Blog site Posts.
The majority of disposables are blonde with Dioxin, which, in pet researches, caused nerve damages, abnormality, increased prices of miscarriages and also adjustments to the immune system. The United States Epa has actually identified dioxins as a potential human carcinogen.
Successive is Salt Polyacrylate, the super absorptive gelling material, or AGM, that permits your child to go extended periods in one baby diaper. Sodium Polyacrylate has actually been connected in the past to hazardous shock syndrome, as well as allergic reactions, as well as it's is possibly lethal to animals.
AGMs are also connected to a rise in youth asthma and also a reduction in sperm matter amongst kids.
Currently, huge diaper manufacturers aim out that these chemicals exist in extremely little doses in the baby diapers, and also so don't publish a threat. Some mommies discover disposables cause more baby diaper breakout.
5. Cloth diapers may assist shield your baby child's jewels.
German scientists located that the skin temperature level around infant kid's genital areas was significantly higher when they used non reusable baby diapers as opposed to cloth. While the scientists required even more research, they recommended that prolonged use disposable baby diapers in infants can be a vital factor contributing to the decrease of sperm production in adult males.
6. Cloth baby diapers are cuter than disposables.
Colors, patterns, appearances. Specifically when your baby is dressed in a diaper only. Towel are method cuter.
1 Reason Why Cloth Diapers Ain't Much better.
1. Tyranno-poops.
Fabric diapers are METHOD far better compared to disposable diapers IMHO. Right here are 6 fantastic needs to think about cloth diapering (plus one reason that they kinda stink). Periodically, all children will certainly produce humungous as well as, truthfully, baffling poops. The last thing you wish to do is obtain all hands-on with that baby diaper, rinse it, wash it, and so on. Throwing the stinking thing out would be so much easier …
BUT, that's a seldom and short-term bummer. In the long term, and also by almost each and every single measure, fabric baby diapers are much better for you, your infant, as well as the world.
Wish to start with cloth diapering?

Reynoldsburg City Council appointed Barth R. Cotner Monday night to fill a vacancy left when Antoinette Newman resigned on Dec. 31.
Reynoldsburg City Council appointed Barth R. Cotner Monday night to fill a vacancy left when Antoinette Newman resigned on Dec. 31.
The appointment becomes effective Feb. 1.
Cotner, 36, owner and manager of the Cotner Funeral Home, has lived in Reynoldsburg all of his life. He and his wife, Julie, have two children, Casey and Lucie.
He attended Reynoldsburg schools through junior high school and graduated from Liberty Christian Academy in 1990.
Cotner earned a bachelor's degree in mortuary science from the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science in 2003.
He is a member of the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and of the national and state funeral directors associations.
Cotner recently served as co-chairman of the campaign committee pushing for voter approval of the Reynoldsburg school district's 6.9-mill operating levy in November 2008. He said he plans to stay involved in helping to get a May school operating levy passed.
He said Monday he definitely will have some things to learn as a member of council, but looks forward to it.
"I look at this as a new step and a new opportunity to keep serving Reynoldsburg," Cotner said. "That's why I've gotten so involved in so many community activities -- I believe in Reynoldsburg. This is my home, where my business is and this is where I'm raising my family.
"I feel like council is another way that I'm going to be able to serve with those goals that I have," he said.
Cotner said he was in the process of preparing to seek signatures on a petition to run in the May primary for a council seat before his father, Bill, passed away last week.
He said he thinks officials need to stay vigilant and proactive in order to continue making the city the kind of community people want to live in.
"I'm proud of this, and I kind of wish my dad were here because he would have been the first one that I'd have called, and I'm definitely sad that I missed that," he said.
Councilman Mel Clemens said all of the candidates for Newman's seat were outstanding. The other two finalists were Nathan Burd and Christopher J. Long.
He said Cotner's involvement in the community will help make him a good councilman.
"He's a very good person, very good family, very active in the schools, and everybody felt he would be a good representation for the public, really," Clemens said. "We thought he would be a good choice and thought the public would think so, which I think they will."
Councilman Ron Stake said there were a lot of good candidates and thought Cotner was the best choice.
"Barth is a quality person all the way around and has been involved in the community; he's got vested interests more than himself," Stake said.
Burd said he is happy for Cotner and wishes him well.
"He's a good guy. I wish him nothing but the best, and he's one of the nicest guys I know, actually, so I'm happy for him," he said.
Burd said he plans to stay active in the community and may run for office in some capacity with the city at some point.
Long said he is absolutely running in the May primary for a council seat.
"Barth is a decent guy and I think it's going to be a very crowded group that's going to be out in the May primary," Long said.

A Recap of LOST
In case you missed the season premiere of Lost, have no fear, you missed nothin. Case in point, here's a brief example of the ENTIRE EPISODE:
Jack is climbing the walls of his dank cell, when his captor steps in the room outside his cell.
"WHAT AM I DOING HERE?"His Captor is silent but looks at him.
Jack looks at her.
Captor looks at him.
Then Jack looks at her.
FADE OUT: Commercial BreakFADE IN:
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?Captor looks at him.
Jack looks at her.
Captor looks at him, then turns and leaves the cell.
FADE OUT: Commercial FREAKIN break.
Enough with the suspense already! It's wearing a little thin. I'd like to finally have a question or two answered.
So aggravating.
And, anyone have an @merican E!xpress card and supposedly catch "extra" scenes? I havent seen them, but my bet is if you want to know what was in them, reread the above summary.
But if in the off chance that i am wrong about the special @merican e!xpress scenes (occassionally it has been known to happen) lemme know!

Introduction to Wholesale Trading
Note: If you are using X_TRADER 7.17 to connect to TT Gateways 7.16 or lower to make wholesale trades, click here for a description of wholesale trading in previous releases.
X_TRADER® 7.17 and higher includes an updated Wholesale Order window that allows the entry of wholesale orders, which includes Over-the-Counter (OTC) and Cross orders on the various supported exchanges.

Note: Wholesale trades are only supported on a subset of exchanges, and support for specific wholesale trade order types is dependent on the particular exchange. In addition, before submitting wholesale orders, ensure that wholesale trading is enabled for your username in TT User Setup.
For information about how account-based risk is applied to wholesale trades and how it functions with different X_TRADER and TT Gateway versions, refer to the TT User Setup Online Help.

What can a 1 watt solar panel power?
I'm thinking of getting a solar panel for my house to help cut back on power use (I live in New Mexico). What sort of appliances can I run on a 1 watt solar panel? Is it worth it to get a single watt panel or is it more efficient to get a multi-watt panel?

Looking for a shot of sugar or caffeine to get you through the afternoon? It may soon be easier than ever to pick up a snacktime energy boost.
In three cities, Cadbury Schweppes
Cadbury will be evaluating the tests after a few months before deciding whether to put these new-fangled vending machines in additional cities. MasterCard has also been working with Coca-Cola
This could end up being great news for anyone invested in soft drink, chip, and candy bar makers, since such companies could start seeing vending sales take off if these machines become a widespread phenomenon.
For hungry office workers and others digging into their pockets and purses for loose change, the switch might be a losing proposition. You can't give in to temptation when you can only dig up one grimy quarter and your favorite candy bar costs $0.75. If you can pull out the credit card or debit card, however, you can get one to eat now and one to have later.
Vending machines, along with expensive lattes and fast food, get a bad rap in personal finance columns. They're often blamed for undoing all the good intentions of people trying to save more, get out of debt, or stick to a budget.
While you probably can't blame sugary, salty, fatty treats for all of your financial woes, there's some truth to the well-worn maxim that if you watch the pennies, the dollars take care of themselves.
Let's say you stop at the office vending machine every day at 3:30 p.m. for a bag of chips and a soft drink at a cost of $1.75. In a week, you'll have spent $8.75. Keep up the habit for a year and you'll have spent $455!
Did you really get $455 worth of enjoyment out of pretzels, potato chips, and colas? Some days, you'll probably swear the answer is yes! But, in retrospect, you can probably see that there are better ways to spend nearly $500. Heck, you could buy $500 worth of stock in MasterCard, Coca-Cola, or Cadbury Schweppes.
The new vending machines illustrate why credit cards and small expenses pose a problem for many people. First, when you're tired and hungry, you'll pump whatever money you can find into the machine to get that rush of sugar. If there's no money in your pocket, you'll have to step away from the machine or beg your friends to lend you some money.
Cash works as a backstop against impulse spending. If you have no cash, you can't spend it. That's one reason why converting to an all-cash diet helps many people get out of debt and get a handle on their expenses.
Also, small expenses can add up fast. It's easy for money to drain out of your fingers a couple of quarters at a time. Keep track of all your incidental spending for a month and you might be surprised at how much it adds up.
Put those expenses on a credit card, and it will probably be even harder to notice the dollar bills disappearing from your wallet. But you'll definitely notice when your credit card bill comes.
Related Foolishness:
Fool contributor Mary Dalrymple has been known to hang out by the vending machine occasionally. She does not own stock in any company mentioned in this article. She welcomes your feedback. Coke is a Stock Advisor selection, while Mastercard is an Inside Value pick. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

96kHz/24-bit FLAC, Sony 88883763622 (supplied by www.highresaudio.com)
The Milanese Giovanni Antonini, like Frans Brüggen, came to conducting via the baroque recorder; he was also co-founder of Il Giardino Armonico. So it's not surprising to find his Beethoven the very antithesis of Karajan's: a dry attack with sharp dynamic differentiation. (Wonderful how the concerto steals in from nowhere!) Recorded in the modern Luxembourg Philharmonie, the players patently give their all for him. The two 'serious' overtures are the most satisfying tracks here, but that's only because Sony has frequently given the soloists too much prominence in the Triple Concerto – Gabetta being one of its 'star' signings. This is especially so in the slow movement – but note the inconsistency as the finale starts. CB
Sound Quality: 80%
Hi-Fi News Lab Report
Digitally recorded at 96kHz at the Philharmonie, Luxembourg in 2015, the mix is very clean (aside from a 19.8kHz drone, buried here). Low noise, a wide dynamic range and full 40kHz+ bandwidth are all well used. PM

Purpose: :
Usher syndrome (US) is the main cause of combined deaf/blindness in the world. Early diagnosis of Usher syndrome promises benefits for early rehabilitation, education and family planning, and provides the basis for natural history studies. However, current approaches for screening children are expensive and have limited sensitivity. An inexpensive DNA based screening to detect US in high risk children is urgently needed.
Methods: :
The screening test was developed using the Applied Biosystems SNPlexTM platform and is directed against 95 recurring mutations observed in the Usher genes. Specificity of the test was determined using controls with the known mutations. Sensitivity was determined in 250 subjects across three phenotypic groups: hearing impaired with RP, ARRP alone, and hearing loss alone.
Results: :
Specificity was determined to be 93%. The sensitivity was 98%. The theoretical detection rate was estimated to be 52% but the observed detection rate was 42%. The detection rate varied depending upon the phenotype of the subject referred for testing.
Conclusions: :
Newborn hearing screening programs now routinely identify very young children at high risk for US. The integration of US testing and tests for other genetic causes of hearing loss into newborn hearing screening programs has great potential to benefit Usher patients and their families. However, a major obstacle to US screening has been cost. This DNA screening test effectively addresses that issue. Other costs associated with screening will need to be also considered: positive results require follow up to confirm the existence and phase of mutations by conventional DNA sequencing; clinical testing of retinal function is required to confirm the diagnosis at the phenotypic level. This tiered approach reduces the cost of screening to a manageable level making possible large scale screening projects to detect US children at the earliest stages of their RP. In addition to providing useful information to caregivers and educators of the deaf and hard of hearing, screening programs could provide subjects suitable for natural history studies to identify differences in the early development of RP on a genotype specific basis.

"Fill The Void" (2012): 4*+ movie, but questions….
Posted by RDN under Mind & body / On movies on 15 January 2014. No comments.
As many reviewers have said, and I think Frank Kermode in the Guardian is about right, this is a richly-involving movie with a decent narrative in which paint-dryer and something close to a domestic thriller are combined. Comparisons with Jane Austen are justified. But there is a question as to political correctness, too… More »

A forklift is a powered industrial truck commonly used to lift or move heavy materials over short distances. This type of equipment has become indispensable in warehousing and manufacturing business. With a forklift, a person is able to move heavy materials and mitigate labor costs. Different forklifts over the years have been adapted and used in different ways that they are designed to be used.
Uses of forklifts
Indoor Materials Movement- Forklifts are commonly used in indoor areas especially attached and detached warehouses as well as distribution centers to load and unload trucks, pick stack or transport stuff. Most business use forklifts to pull or lift pallets, staked boxes, drums, crates, and equipment among others. The designs of different forklifts vary to accommodate different obstacles or scenarios including small isles, side-lifting or high shelves.
Outdoor Materials Movement- Forklifts are used in the outdoors such as construction sites and garden areas. With a rugged design forklift, you can move heavy construction materials among other construction related items such as recycling bins, portable toilets, dumpsters, and trash. Forklifts are attached to a hopper or portable container and used to transport and dump trash into larger containers such as ditches or dumpsters. Some of the places that the equipment is commonly used include docks, junkyards, container yards, recycling centers among other areas that move pallets of materials.
Transport People- Forklift trucks are an alternative to bucket work lifts, cranes, aerial and platforms for lifting people both outdoors and indoors. Nonetheless, forklifts used in transporting people observe safety practices and attachments such as specifically-designed safety cages with the forklifts to prevent falls. Specifically designed forklifts are used to perform inventory, clean hard-to-reach areas, trim tall trees and perform maintenance duties. Nonetheless, a forklift manufacturer has to approve the type of works that the equipment can perform.
Specialty Uses- A forklift is at times attached to a broom and used to perform dust mopping, dry or wet sweep to warehouses parking lots, and dock floors. A plow can also be added to the front of the forklift and used to plow lose dirt piles or snow. You can use either the plow or broom attachments to remove pills. Businesses also place a boom attachment to the forklift and use them as cranes.
Training Tools- It is important for employees to practice using a forklift machine before getting their certification at Forklift Trainer Training. A new forklift operator can be required to practice on different types of forklifts and learn how to control each of them safely. As a result, a business may need used forklifts since they are cheap. Businesses employ used forklifts to train new mechanics and forklift drivers. By employing a used forklift to train employees, an enterprise avoids losing monetary investments in case a trainee causes damage to the equipment while learning their trade.
Forklifts offer certified high-quality services at a low cost. There are plenty of low-cost modern used forklifts that you can access for your business. The forklifts perform a wide variety of tasks and are inexpensive to replace and maintain hence a great asset to the business.

An Emotional Sale..
While I love making a sale - it's great to know people like your wares as much as you do - I'm truly sad to see some pieces go to new homes. My Sea Garden Collection pieces are particularly dear to me as there's so much time and thought that goes into creating each one - making sure the colours are just right etc.
I had a very nice order last week for a pendant, bracelet and earrings but felt so emotional giftwrapping and packaging them up... and even worse... the lovely lady who purchased them lives locally... what if I see her somewhere wearing them... I might be tempted to ask for them back.. so silly I am!!
The truly strange thing is the day after sending them they arrived back in my mailbox ... seems whoever delivered them mistook the From address for the To address... I was tempted to take this as a sign :), but no back to the Post Centre they went. Is there anyone else out there that gets so attached to the things they make?
7 comments:
LOL! An interesting post, Mel :) As far as getting emotionally attached to my pieces - yes, I do. But strangely, once I make the sale, I'm overjoyed that they get to see the world and not sit in my studio, so I get over the attachment pretty quickly :) As far as having post returned to you goes - I've had this happen to me twice this week! Both times, the items were coming TO me (once from Aussie, once from Auckland) - both times they were sent back to the sender, rather than to me LOL! So I'm happy it's not just me that this happens to :D I was starting to think I was cursed LOL!ReplyDelete
haha..this is why very few of my paintings actually made it out the door:)))ReplyDelete
That is a good reason I wouldn't be able to make jewellry (apart from not knowing how!) I'd want to wear it!!ReplyDelete
Ahhhh Mel I can totally relate. I try most of my pieces for size and comfort before I sell them, and I have a few things (mostly bracelets and pandora style beads) that I can't bear to part with. I must say that as soon as I get over the initial loss I can move on to create something else that I again will have an attachment too :)ReplyDelete
I am totally grinning away here! I was recently showing one of my framed Farmyard Noises prints to a friend, who surprised me by asking if she could buy it. I had a moment of panic, wanting to clutch it to my chest and hiss "NO! MINE!" "My Preciousssss" lol!ReplyDelete
Thank goodness it's not just me! Appreciate your comments everyone :)ReplyDelete
Yes I get attached to some of my needle felted creations and sometimes find it hard to "let them go" it is always good to have a sale thou, and know that people admire your work,( which is lovely Mel.) cheers MarieReplyDelete

Pharmacists have been an untapped health resource, but this will change with the Pharmacy Action Plan, said Pharmaceutical Society president Graeme Smith on World Pharmacists Day.
New Zealand pharmacists were joining pharmaceutical colleagues around the world in celebrating their roles in health care and research to mark the day on September 25. An animated video is also on its way to inform the public who pharmacists are and what services they can provide.
Smith, head of the society that represents about 4000 pharmacists, said the Government recognised pharmacists as an "untapped resource", given their five years of professional training, and this was reflected in the Pharmacy Action Plan launched in June last year.
"The Action Plan aligns with the New Zealand Health Strategy and aims to make greater use of the skills and training of the pharmacist as a member of an integrated healthcare team," said Smith.
Enhanced services that pharmacists may now provide include:
- medication reviews
- Warfarin monitoring
- range of vaccinations
- treatment (antibiotics) for urinary tract infections
- treatment for erectile dysfunction
- (soon) repeat prescriptions for the contraceptive pill.
"Already this year we have seen pharmacists able to administer subsidised flu vaccinations to pregnant women and people aged over 65," said Smith. He said the next section of the plan under consideration was a Minor Ailments Scheme provided by pharmacists to targeted populations.
In 2013 new regulations were also introduced to allow suitable trained specialist pharmacists to be designated prescribers (similar to the regulations under which registered nurse prescribing was introduced last year) after completing a postgraduate certificate in prescribing and meeting the clinical experience requirements. In August 2016 there were 18 pharmacist prescribers, of which about half were working in primary care or across primary and secondary care.
Smith said recent research indicates that the public was largely unaware of how pharmacists were trained, their ongoing professional development requirements or the range of services they could provide. With this in mind, the Society has created an animated video to show patients how their pharmacists can help them. "The video will explain in a simple and entertaining way who we are as pharmacists and what we do," Smith said. The Society expects to release the video in early October.
Pharmacist facts
- New Zealand has more than 3500 practising pharmacists.
- Around 75 per cent of these work in community pharmacies.
- About 13 per cent are hospital pharmacists.
- About 2 per cent work in primary care teams.
- There are close to 1000 community pharmacies.

Heart Tender
My muse is a heart hunter, her bow arched readily,
her arrow point dabbed with a gossamer glint
the color of spirit.
I am her target and, emboldened with time,
I confront her with soul-fire and fear-ashes,
stomach knots and eye-stars.
Sky and trees are tossed by the air,
green-shuffled and blue-shifted in a windblown vertigo,
the sunset on my neck-nape.
I spy, with delight,
ten thousand wren-wings of a migrating flock,
their nerves fraught with dusk-twitter.
Twilight nestles against slumbering petals,
their flower-souls folded in and dreaming.
I wave my white handkerchief.
Seizing her moment, my muse bends an arrow back
and releases, our eyes locked.
My ears hear the whistling sound the arrow makes
as it soars through the air to my lung-cage,
hitting its target dead center, heart-tender.

I find that poetry comes to me easier in the wintertime...there's less distraction, less color, less external activities. I'm more contemplative, quieter...there's a stillness present that isn't there in the bustle of spring, summer, or fall. This is a poem I've been working on for the last couple of weeks. I never know when I'm going to get "hit" with the sudden need to write. It was fun to think of my muse as a hunter with her bow and arrow.
My photo was edited using Radlab - I like the dreamy effect I was able to get. And through the wonders of Photoshop, I was able to add a flock of birds by finding an image at Flickr Creative Commons and adding it in as a separate layer.
Thank you for stopping by!
It just happens to be the way that I'm made. I have to write things down to feel I fully comprehend them. ~Haruki Murakami

I so love images of trees they seem so alive and full of promise thanks for sharing your wonderful poem..ReplyDelete
I so love "dusk twitter" and "the flower-souls folded in and dreaming". So many gorgeous images. Beautifully done.ReplyDelete
Beautiful poem to go with your equally beautiful image.ReplyDelete
Your image is beautiful and so is your poem! It's funny how seasons affect us in so many ways. Winter does seem like a good time to write poetry. I find I take more pictures in the winter.ReplyDelete
Very nice. I love the poem. I find that I am more productive with my writing in the summer. I think I just find more muse when I can sit on the beach at sunrise.ReplyDelete
This is a poem of the heart. Nice lines here. I especially likedReplyDelete
"Seizing her moment, my muse bends an arrow back
and releases, our eyes locked." Yes, it does seem to happen
that way sometime, doesn't it?
that whole first stanza...muse the heart hunter...the color of spirit and you being the prey/target...ha...often we might think of our muse as what gives us to share with others but i like that it begins with us....cool write...ReplyDelete
What a lovely poem! The muse as the heart-hunter with a bow and an arrow reminds me of cupid. Even the god of love in Hindu mythology operates through a bow and an arrow. I wonder why it is that all such figures come with a bow and an arrow.ReplyDelete
Beautiful imagery ... I love the idea of a muse being a hunter, shooting arrows of inspiration. And I agree the stillness of winter is contemplative. :)ReplyDelete
"My muse is a heart hunter" - this is how I feel about mine too! I enjoyed reading about your muse.ReplyDelete
You are lucky that you have been able to define your muse. Love the heart hunter title:)
A magnificent painted poem with your words and the super image. So much life within...
