The n00biest n00b, and a tea review.
You guys, you guys.
I just figured out how to reply to comments.
I will now reply to you. I promise.
I won't, however, be replying to ALL past comments (well, the ones that I would have, at any rate), just ones I receive from now on. Okay. Now tea.
I'm house sitting for my grandmother through next week, and I have discovered she has a cupboard full of wonderful-sounding teas. The one which first caught my eye was Duchess-brand Peach Apricot Pure Ceylon tea. I am a big fan of Republic of Tea's Ceylons, and I thought this might be similar to the mango Ceylon that they carry (yes, I am aware that mangoes, apricots, and peaches are all entirely different fruit; it was just the only thing I had to compare to).
It was not. I let it steep for about 4 minutes, added one teaspoon of sugar and one teaspoon of honey. It was terribly, terribly bland, which was not what I was expecting, since the color was so dark and the smell upon opening the can was so rich, and, well, peachy. All I could figure to do was add a little more sugar, and when I did, all I tasted was sugar. Honestly, Lipton's little tea bag peach tea was better than this (admittedly, I think Lipton has very good teas, but they're not very adventurous, and yes, they are a little bland unless you let them steep a good while).
I had never heard of Duchess Teas before, and after this, probably won't go out of my way to find anymore.
If you've had a different experience with them, let me know! In the comments! Which I now know how to reply to!
On a final note, a few hours ago I started reading Brock Clark's (what a name) An Arsonist's Guide to Writer's Homes in New England. I'm about a third of the way through, and if I have my way (read: if I don't fall asleep on the couch) I'll comment on it, and the final book in Christopher Paolini's final book in the Inheritance trilogy, sometime tomorrow or Wednesday.

Curious George
Know-It-All Georgette
Plant cells are eukaryotic. They have 13 parts to them, this is not including the parts within the organelles.
Now, each slide will have information on one of the 13 organelles.
We'll start from the inside and work our way outside.
These big words might scare you, but have no fear I am here, to explain.
The rough Endoplasmic Reticulum have little spherical ribosome on them which make it bumpy, that's why they are called "rough" the ribosome on the Endoplasmic reticulum are there to create proteins for the whole cell.
The smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum doesn't make proteins therefore, doesn't need the ribosome on itself. It just creates hormones and fatty acids. The fatty acids are oily, making the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum smooth.
You may be wondering "what does this organelle do. What it does is transport calcium, ions and other thing like that. Think of it as a highway!
Buuuuuuurrrrrrrrrpppp… Whoa what was that?
That, my friend is a very, very satisfied Vacuole the more it eats the more bigger its stomach gets the less it eats the more flabbier its stomach gets. So basically it acts like a balloon
Did you know that young plant cells usually have many small vacuoles, but as the cells mature, the vacuoles almost fuses into one large central vacuole!
Also they don't only store foods but their wastes, now that's gross!
This organelle is very rare in Plant Cells but common in Animal cells. It's job is to kill bacteria that attacks the cells, now you can probably see why it's rare in plant cells. Not many bacteria would be after plants. Try to think of a Lysosome as a warrior.
This organelles looks a lot like Endoplasmic Reticulum but it's functions are similar to the Vacuole. It packages, stores, secretes (releases stuff out of its pores) and makes the cell products. I can't really think what this resembles, guess this is the only one you have to memorize! I guess you could say it's like a packaging factory.
Mitochondria provide the energy a cell needs to move, divide and produce. Here I'll give you a better explanation. You could call them the power plant of the cell. It helps the Cell get energy, it's what allows the cell to do all types of activities. The size of a Mitochondria is similar to a bacteria . These battery like organelles come in different shapes.
Chloroplasts tell what their role is right in their name you might not have guessed but they produce chlorophyll this the substance needed in a plant to give it a green, fresh looking color. This organelle has a membrane of its own.
Awwww man, my bag just ripped, guess I carried to many things in it. Everything happens to me!
Like why doesn't it happen to these Plant Cells, they have such a thin, leafy layer?
First of all those cells are way more organized and careful than you are, they don't stuff everything inside themselves, hoping it'll fit in.
They may have lots of parts but they can hold it. This is because they have a membrane which is like skin. The role for this organelle is to keep everything in, inside and everything out, outside, kind of like a thermos.
"Finally away from that brainiac Georgette! This swimming pool is so soothing.
"Hey George, where were you?"
"Away from you-I mean away from the pollution"
" Oh I see, you know this swimming pool is a lot like cytoplasm and we're like the little proteins or particles in it. When we're not needed, we just sit in the cytoplasm waiting for us to be needed kind of like sitting in a swimming pool until your mom calls you ."
"Yeeeeaaahhh, mentioning that I think I'm needed somewhere far away (from Georgette)!"
The Cell wall is like a membrane but unlike the membrane which holds just the cytoplasm and the things inside it, the cell wall holds everything. It's almost like a gift wrapper which wraps up everything just like this presentation.
Thank-You (for those who paid any attention whatsoever!)

Rosa Valdez (also known as Aunt Rosa) is Leo Valdez's aunt.
When Leo's mother died in a mysterious factory accident, but Leo survived, his Aunt Rosa blamed him for the fire that killed her sister. She calls him a diablo - a devil in Spanish, and turned his whole family against him. She refused to take him in so the social services sent him to a foster home, which he promptly ran away from and for that reason Leo hates her.
The Heroes of Olympus
The Lost Hero
Aunt Rosa is mentioned by Leo when he thinks of the time when his mother died in a factory fire, and his Aunt would not take him in because she blamed him for the fire.
The Mark of Athena
Leo sees Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, as Aunt Rosa, a person he wants revenge at who judged him unfairly.
When Leo sees Nemesis in the form of his Aunt Rosa, he says that she has the same broad nose with a mole on one side, along with the same sour mouth and hard eyes.
Leo realizes that it is not Aunt Rosa, as Aunt Rosa used to wear floral dressing gowns, not red leather jackets like Nemesis.

David Storrar from Dysart was just 15 years-old when he joined the Highland Cyclist Battalion before the start of WW1.
The various cyclist battalions, named after their prefered mode of transport, were involved in protecting Fife's coastline from enemy invaders.
David was one of many of his battalion who lost their lives in the trenches on the Western Front and now his great nephew Ken Tippen (57) from East Lothian is trying to find out more about the little known battalions in Fife.
And he is hoping that Press readers may be able to help him to give them the recognition they are due.
Before the war David was an apprentice tenter at James Normand & Sons' linen factory in Dysart, which was a major employer in the area.
The Dysart teenager joined the unusual but little documented territorial unit in Kirkcaldy before he turned 16 and, as he was so young, he was given the task of company bugler. His battalion was based in Hunter Street drill hall in Kirkcaldy.
Ken has gathered several photos of the Highland Cyclist Battalion and one shows his great uncle and his battalion out on manoeuvres with their bikes. Ken is asking anyone if they can identify the place it was taken.
He told the Press: "After coastal defence duty around Fife during the early part of the war, the unit was split up in mid 1916 and attached to various regiments across Britain to make up losses suffered on the western front.
"A large contingent of around 150 was attached to the Royal Warwickshires, including my great uncle.
"He was in the trenches from May until his death in action in September 1916.
"I have his unit's war diaries which give detailed, gripping information on what his unit did and saw – including taking part in the infamous Battle of Fromelles – a major disater especially for Australian troops.
"There are fascinating references to gas attacks, costly trench raids, tunnelling warfare and the routine of trench life and life in the rear areas.
"I also found a very moving newspaper article from the Press at the time entitled 'Dysart Cyclist Killed' which contains extracts from letters sent to his parents from his company commander and an NCO who was probably one of the original Kirkcaldy HCB men.
"This is a great story of Kirkcaldy boys, wearing colours of regiments from areas they had no connection to, caught up in a brutal war and the devastating effect it had on communities.
"I know Press readers will have relatives who served in the HCB and I am keen to share their stories and photos."

Contemporary Questions
Race and Racism
26 Jul 2018
Join philosophers, writers, artists and activists from across the country for a collaborative discussion exploring issues that are at the forefront of contemporary social debates: gender identity, and race and racism. These two panels pose questions to how we live together; what counts as an answer; and who gets to decide?
The second panel on this Contemporary Questions series is on Race and Racism. Racism has a long history, and constantly takes new forms as societies change. But what exactly is racism, and how do we identify it? What effects can racism have on the people who are targeted, and what should be done to end it?
With Panya Banjoko, Aness Webster, Yassmin Abdel-Magied and Kristy Warren.
Nottingham Contemporary is wheelchair accessible, and sign language interpreters have been arranged for both panels. Please contact us for more details or to discuss any additional requirements.
Free. Booking required

Other Information:
In Peculiarities of the National Hunt (in Autumn) the Finn Raimo, who is researching the traditions of the Russian hunt from the time of the tsars to the present, joins a group of Russians, including a general, a businessman, a gamekeeper, and a policeman, in the hunt. The drinking bouts the Russians associate with hunting, however, are not what Raimoà la russe. expects. He initially refuses to drink, while dreaming of the imperial hunting party of the late-nineteenth century as they hunt down a fox with their dogs, elegantly ride on their horses, and, of course, converse in French. In the meantime, the non-Russian speaker is marginalized as the Russians indulge in alcohol. The Finn is an outsider, misunderstood and displaying utterly non-Russian manners: he tidies up, cares for the environment, and waits for the hunt, not realizing that it has already begun—at least,
The film explores the Russians' notorious love for vodka through a series of anecdotes. Rogozhkin merges situational comedy (bureaucrats and officials who do not behave like serious citizens and are helpless in matters of everyday life) with the eccentricity of character induced by vodka consumption and isolation from the world of 'normalcy'.
Rogozhkin draws on the Russian tradition of drinking captured so well in Venedikt Erofeev's Moscow to the End of the Line (Moskva-Petushki, 1973). More important still is the impact of advertising campaigns for vodka as broadcast on Russian television in the mid-1990s, especially the commercials for the vodka label 'White Eagle' (Belyi Orel, 1994-95), produced by designer Iurii Grymov, known for his extravagant style that knows no border between the beautiful and the vulgar. The White Eagle campaign centred on the delirious hero reaching a state of absolute freedom from social conventions and restrictions thanks to the influence of alcohol. The beautiful images of delirium contrast with the images of a sober reality. Similarly, an early-1990s ad for Smirnoff vodka presented the idea of a clearer reality that can be perceived under the influence of alcohol. The 'clearness of sensations' achieved through alcohol consumption allows the protagonist to unmask reality: he sees the things hidden under the glossy surface. The guests no longer wear elegant party dresses, but look like wild animals from a horror movie. It is a frightening, but certainly a more interesting view than the dull party seen without vodka.
This function of vodka as a stimulant for the clear perception of reality, together with the structural principle of ads as a series of clips, without beginning and end, underlies Rogozhkin's film. The fragmentary structure, the anecdotal character of the dialogue, and the lack of logic replicate the incoherent speech of a drunkard. His hunters repeat the same absurd action over and over again.
The characters are representative of the new, no longer classless Russian society: the military, the new Russian, the state official, the policeman. However, beneath their social image they hide their authentic selves: the love of animals, humans, and nature. Under the influence of vodka they reveal their true identities and values: the good and honest demeanour of a Russian folk hero, who kills no animal, who helps his fellow human beings, and who is at one with nature. Therefore, the general 'Mikhailych' Ivolgin deploys his skills to organize a party or a hunt; the state official Lev Soloveichuk is a pitiable creature when it comes to practical matters; the policeman Semenov is always helpful; the businessman Sergei Olegovich has problems at home; and the forester Kuzmich meditates instead of clearing forests and hunting animals. Rogozhkin removes all negative attributes and marks of power from these social types and replaces them with positive and vulnerable qualities.
Russian life fails to coincide with the Finn's imagination. The military and the police hardly reinforce order: a military aircraft is used to transport vodka and animals, and the police vans facilitate a visit to some prostitutes. The breakdown of social order in contemporary Russia is treated with self-irony. Drinking may have no purpose, but it is a habit that makes social and national differences disappear, that lifts temporal boundaries by bringing together past and present, and annihilates the borders between animals and humans. The world returns to its purest form, devoid of boundaries or limits. What matters in the hunt is not the result, but the time spent in good company.

Found last week by my helpful friend @AtDisneyAgain at the Epcot Art of Disney… these things.
Can we just take a minute and look at what is actually going on here? These Princesses are sickly, pasty white, unhealthily skinny, and look positively drugged out of their minds. They look terrible. Ariel is even posing in a "sexy" position that no one would position themselves in otherwise, thrusting her chest out while her hip and rib bones jut out. Not a hint of a smile is on any of them, and their cheeks are highlighted with what could either be abstract blush or more visible cheekbones from not eating. Toothpick arms, heavily caked on makeup, I could go on.
Does this disturb anyone else? The fact that any woman is ever posed or portrayed like this is unnerving, let alone in a Disney park where young guests are susceptible to this kind of imagery. It reminds me of the kind of thing you would see in models for adult clothing brands to shock you into noticing their clothes.
|Not completely coherent, expressionless, pale. (See Link A)
|Not even remotely coherent, awkward positioning, bony (See Link B)
You can make the argument that this is an art store, and artists often take liberty with their subjects. But it's the fact that it is in a Disney park, as if Disney is endorsing such images, that makes this damaging. This is that line that I discussed in the Sexy Minnie post, and it has once again been crossed. With the media already doing its part to shake girls' self-esteem and ideas of acceptable body images, would you want your daughter looking up to Princesses that look like this?

Link B
Both links today taken from Sociological Images, another site I recommend if you'd like to explore sociology a little deeper. They have a few Disney related posts that I don't completely agree with but are interesting to examine nonetheless.


text: BC Joins Other Jurisdictions in Proposing Changes to the Report of Exempt DistributionOctober 16, 2017 Viviana Beltrametti Walker Laura Levine The British Columbia Securities Commission (the BCSC) has published proposed amendments to Form 45-106F1 Report of Exempt Distribution (the Report). Announced on October 4, 2017, the B.C. amendments are identical to those proposed by the Canadian Securities Administrators on June 8 on behalf of all regulators except the BCSC. As we reported in our post on the original CSA announcement, the proposed changes focus on the Report's certification and information requirements. For example, the changes envisage the adoption of a corporate-style signature block and a new knowledge qualifier, as well as a reduction in the amount of detail required in several parts of the Report (our previous post has more information). Comment Period While the comment period on the original CSA proposal has expired, the BCSC proposal provides for a 60-day comment period that began on October 4.

Outstanding hospitals
HCA UK is the only private hospital provider in London to have 'outstanding' ratings from the Care Quality Commission (CQC). 50% of HCA UK's inspected facilities have been rated 'outstanding' over the last 12 months. Out of all the independent hospitals inspected so far by the CQC, only 6% were rated 'outstanding', putting HCA UK in a different league to others. We were positively rated across the board for our caring and professional staff, for being responsive to individual patient needs, and for the quality of our patient outcomes.
HCA UK have looked after our whole family. We can't thank them enough.
Patient's father
Safety first and foremost
Monitoring standards of care
"We are constantly monitoring what we do, to make sure that our standards are as high as possible, and to identify whether anything needs changing." Dr Tom Newsom-Davis, Consultant Oncologist at Leaders in Oncology Care
Sharing our knowledge
"In private practice, we can often use new drugs before they are available on the NHS. This is why we do informative audits as part of clinical governance work, which involves sharing our experience of these drugs, their side-effects and results with other health professionals so that they can benefit from our work to help their patients." Dr Alison Jones, Consultant Medical Oncologist at The Wellington Hospital and Leaders in Oncology Care (LOC)
High quality staff and training
"All our junior doctors are working or have worked recently in NHS teaching hospitals and it is very important that they bring with them the gold standard clinical practices in the NHS." Dr Andy Petros, Consultant Paediatric Intensivist and Director of The Portland Hospital Paediatric Intensive Care Unit
Being prepared for every eventuality
"Making sure there are always doctors available in every specialism should a patient take a turn for the worse or develop complications is a key part of patient safety." Dr Arjun Shankar, Consultant General Surgeon and Medical Director of The Lister Hospital
Taking action to safeguard patients
"It's about having an early warning system in place so that we can constantly monitor what is happening and step in to make sure the highest standards of care are provided." Dr Phillip Harrison, Consultant Liver Specialist, London Bridge Hospital
Working as a team to provide the right treatment
"Every patient my team operates on is discussed with a group of around 25 clinicians, medical oncologists and radiologists, all of whom have different views and specialties. During these weekly MDT meetings we decide on the best option for each patient, so that it takes out any clinical bias."
Professor Roger Kirby, Consultant Urological Surgeon, and Professor of Urology at The Princess Grace Hospital
Professor Roger Kirby, Consultant Urological Surgeon, and Professor of Urology at The Princess Grace Hospital
Better outcomes for patients
No other UK provider can match our global scale, breadth and depth of knowledge and expertise. We treat 27 million people each year across our global network, and we learn from each and we learn from each and every one, so that we can deliver world-class outcomes to each patient that we care for.
Minimising the risk
Our priority is to minimise the risk of hospital-acquired infections, including MRSA. We have robust systems in place across our facilities. And all our staff have ongoing training to ensure the highest standards of cleanliness and safety are met.
Quality awards
HCA UK has received more awards and nominations than any other private healthcare group over the last five years. 2016: Private Hospital Group of the Year, Health Investor 2016: International Cancer Centre of the Year, International Medical Tourism Journal

While I am not going to take this post down because I know so many people love it, I am NO LONGER a Beachbody Coach. I still love Beachbody workouts but I now am a Thrive Promoter and it has CHANGED MY LIFE! I feel better than ever and I don't have to "diet" and feel like I am depriving myself every day. While I was on the 21 Day Fix I was tired and irritable EVERY DAY because I felt like I wasn't eating enough. Then when I stopped the 21 Day Fix, all the weight came back. AND I felt like binge eating.
I LOVE THRIVE and all it has done for me! I feel better than ever and it's an easy 3 step system that you do first thing in the morning and you are done! Easy, peasy! PLEASE go to www.thrivewithchanin.com and check it out for yourself. Create a free account and have access to all the info you need!
Please feel free to email me at email@example.com if you want more info or would be interested in trying a sample of Thrive.
Have you been doing the 21 Day Fix, but still haven't lost any weight or inches? Well, just the other day, I had one of my clients message me saying that she was frustrated because she hadn't seen any results and she was in her 3rd week of the 21 Day Fix. So, I asked for help from other coaches on my team that had other clients that had experienced the same thing. I had a lot of great feedback from them to give to her and I thought I'd share it here too, because I'm sure there are other people out there having the same experience. Some of these troubleshooting ideas are even from Autumn Calabrese herself.
So here goes. Let's troubleshoot!
- First and foremost, MAKE SURE YOU ARE BEING HONEST WITH YOURSELF!
- Are you staying on the meal plan....really? In other words, NO cheat meals during the 21 Day Fix. No sneaking little snacks or treats that you aren't counting.
- Are you giving your all during your workouts? Are you going full force and not just "kinda" doing the workouts or taking longer breaks than you should.
- The list of foods to eat are listed in hierarchy. Are you eating from the top of the list or mostly from the bottom of the list. You need to be eating mostly from the TOP of the list! Save the bottom foods for "every once in a while".
- Were you calories before you started the 21 Day Fix way off? If you are supposed to be eating 1200 calories now and before you were eating 3000 calories a day....it could take your body up to 30 days to respond.
- Did you weigh and measure yourself at the same time of day under the same conditions? And for women, have you weighed or measured during your monthly cycle? That can make a big difference.
- Some people don't see results until the 2nd round because it takes their bodies longer to respond. That could be you, don't give up. Keep going and do a 2nd round.
- Have you noticed any other differences? For example, do you have more energy? Do your clothes fit better? Do you sleep better? Those are all great things too and mean you are on the right track. Keep going!
- Did you do before and after photos? If so, really look at them. There may be a difference there that you can see but can't measure on the scale or with a tape measure.
- Are you sure you are in the correct calorie bracket. Double check that if you need to. It's on page 4 of the eating plan book.
- Last, but not least, WATER!!! Are you drinking enough water? You should be drinking half your body weight in ounces per day.
I hope these have helped you to figure out what may be going wrong for you. Really focus on staying on the meal plan, during your workouts full force and drinking your water!
Another option, if you are not feeling motivated enough, is to get into a Challenge Group! If you already have a Beachbody Coach, then please get with them to find out if they have one currently going that you can join. If you don't have a coach, but would like to, then please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I can tell you how to get the program and make me your FREE coach and I will help keep you motivated!

Testimonials can play a highly significant role in the online promotion of your business, and in helping to strengthen both its reputation and authority. You can say what you like about your own business – people will know you're clearly going to be biased, and that you're trying to sell your services or products. Independently written testimonials by customers or clients carry far more weight than almost anything you say yourself.
Customers submitting testimonials carry more authority as far as evaluating and reviewing your service, and this authority in turn translates to your business's brand image. The trouble is that all too often the only customers who contact the company after the transaction or service is concluded are those who have a complaint. All too often we are all guilty of tending to accept good service without comment, whilst becoming highly vociferous if something goes wrong. Occasionally you will get a testimonial or nice comment from someone who was very happy with what you provided, but these are rare.
So how can you go about encouraging more testimonials from your customers, and then crucially, what should you do with those testimonials once you've got them?
Don't just sit back and wait for testimonials to come flooding in. They won't. You'll need to be a bit more proactive than that, and actually ask for them. But don't just ask customers for feedback or for a testimonial. Most customers won't really know what to put that will be helpful to other customers. Provide a little help in the way of prompts to get them to think about key aspects of their experience, such as "If you would recommend this service to a friend or colleague, what would you say about it?, "How did this product or service help you?, or "What would you say to someone who was considering purchasing the same product or service from us?"
It's worth bearing in mind also that not everyone will be able to compose a fluid and well written piece that you can publish on your website. It might be worth including a note to customers that you may make minor editing changes to their testimonial to help other customers identify the key points, but that you will send a revised copy of the testimonial to them for approval before publishing it.
These days it's also worth asking to use a photograph of the customer too. Text only testimonials carry weight and authority, but this is significantly enhanced if there's a photograph of the person next to it – it helps bring the customer to life and makes the whole thing seem much more real. Customers can relate more easily to the testimonials if they can see the person who gave it. Otherwise there's always going to be a sneaky suspicion that they've just been fabricated.
So once you have a healthy pile of glowing testimonials, what are you supposed to do with them? There are several options – the first of which is to make sure they're included somewhere reasonably prominent on your website. You might have a testimonials page on your site, but make sure that the link to this is fairly obvious. It's also worth scattering quoted testimonials throughout most of your site, reinforcing the positive feedback you've received.
It would also be a good idea to drip feed them through various social media outlets such as your blog, Facebook or Twitter. Don't just flood your profiles with all of your testimonials at once though. Post one every day or every few days, providing a constant stream of positive feedback – this will carry more weight.
But you can add to that weight even more by thanking people for their comments. Do this privately by sending the customer an email, but also do it publicly. If someone has sent you a positive testimonial, and you publish this on your blog or Facebook profile, comment on this, say thank you and make it seem as though you actually care that your customers are happy.
Lastly, rather than ask all of your customers and clients to send you testimonials directly, request that they submit them to your Google Places page or via the major local directories such as Qype or Yelp. By doing this you'll not only improve your position in Google Places, but you will also see a lot more activity on your directory listings.
Hope that's helped! It's really an area we should concentrate more on ourselves.


text: MY TURN Mom passed away on July 26. There was a memorial service where many stood and spoke of memories of Joan Randolph, of Culver. I was one of those speakers, and I now regret not speaking of the most important person in the room -- my older sister, Cynthia McDaniel. So often it falls to one person to take care of an aging parent. And it fell to my sister, whom, as a child, I called Dede. Pronouncing Cindy was difficult, so the nickname Dede stuck throughout our childhood and today I still use it. It was Dede Do when I couldn't or wouldn't do it myself, and Dede quite often would do a chore for me. It later became Dede Do for Mom and Dad as they went through their various illnesses. It was Dede Do when 14 years ago she promised our dying father to take care of Mom, to make sure Mom was happy ... and Dede did. Mom fought different cancers over 37 years. In those years, Dede was there and after Dad passed it fell to our sister to take Mom back and forth to the uncountable doctor's appointments, treatments and surgeries. Dede would balance Mom's checkbook, cook her meals and bring them to her, help her with house cleaning, do mom's laundry ... the list grew over the years as Mom's battles with cancers continued. It was always Dede Do, over and over again. A once cute and childhood nickname became dreaded. In the past year, Mom would call upon Cindy at all hours, to the point of Cindy hearing phones ring in the middle of the night when they didn't ring. As much as my brother and I tried to help our mother, she would only want our eldest sister, and Dede would do it again and again. As her final fight against the latest cancer progressed, we all worked at helping Mom in her home. My brother Stephen and I would stay with her during the day, and Cindy and my sister-in-law Beth (Stephen's wife) would stay at night. Beth, an ER nurse at Starke Memorial Hospital, gave up a week's vacation to care for Mom. Beth was second in command and was the only other person Mom trusted with her care. If Mom didn't believe my sister, Beth would state in her best nursing voice, "Mom, you need this." And Mom would dutifully accept whatever Beth said needed done. Stephen and I were backup help and quite often could only stand and watch as Cindy and Beth took over. Now, not only is Mom at peace, but so is my sister and her family. My sister-in-law can also now care for her own family after years of taking care of in-laws. "Thank you" sounds weak but, Cindy, I want to thank you for being my big sister and taking care of Mom and Dad throughout the years. You gave of yourself and now it is time to have fun. Yep ... Dede Do is now Dede Done. Love to you Your little sister, Sue Susan Neikirk lives in Grovertown.

Prada's Spring 2010 collection is not vibrant or bright, but it is extremely flashy. The slim-threaded gray couture is a rocking but simple collection of casual gear for any situation.
The theme throughout the collection is double-breasted jackets, mesh cardigans and vests, tank tops and cut-off shorts.
The overall patterns are sleek but the patterns on the different items are pretty sweet as well. The 'Art Deco' swirls that cover different pieces just add to the whole image. Spring of 2010 looks a little more cloudy (but sexy) thanks to Prada.

As you may have noticed if you are on my personal Facebook page or you are following us on the blog page, you might have noticed my absence this past week, not just on the blog but on social networking entirely. I even turned my phone off for several days and retreated within myself. It was actually a pretty hard week for me, but not for the usual reasons in a woman my age. I'm 29 years old, for the very first time, and next year I will be turning 30, not 29 again. I've never been one for shorting myself of years because, by the Gods, I have earned every year like a gold star. It's not my age that is a problem for me, so my birthday is not a cause for eating chocolate and drink wine while listening to mopey music. Though the eating chocolate and drinking wine and listening to music thing sounds like something I've done before, quite often, just for the joy of it. Continue reading

Can you 3D print success?
For the young entrepreneurs behind TIKO 3D, it turns out you can.
The group invented the most affordable and simple 3D printer on the market, and launched one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns ever- raising $3.5 million CDN in 30 days, with more than 16,000 world-wide backers. (Read more about their start-up success-http://sparkcentre.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/2015-Spark-Centre-Annual-Report-Tiko.pdf)
So what does it take to be a successful tech inventor and entrepreneur?
It starts with an Idea. Tiko was founded by Matt Gajkowski (CEO), Sharon Charitar (CFO) and Michael Zhang (SCM.) The team created Tiko whilst they were university students, frustrated by the lack of 3D printing in education and the over complicated 3D printers that were being marketed to consumers. This small team designed and created the first prototype of Tiko and took the Kickstarter world by storm.
Their new printer is a breakthrough in accessible 3D Printing, poised to transform how designers, engineers, manufactures and students approach 3D Printing and prototyping.

LONDON (CBS.MW) -- Better-than-expected quarters for a handful of Dow industrials components, including JP Morgan Chase, Honeywell, United Tech and Coca-Cola supported the index futures early Wednesday.
A blow-out Motorola quarter overnight bolstered some of the tech-related stocks.
European stocks were putting in a mixed performance, however, as global markets factor in comments from Fed chief Alan Greenspan that flagged rising interest rates. Greenspan speaks in Congress again later in the day.
Automakers in Germany were higher as the euro dropped below the $1.19 mark on the interest rate talk. Ford Motor F, -5.49% surged over 7 percent in the pre-open after the automaker lifted its earnings projection.
Dow futures were higher, but the early head of steam was dissipating as the New York open neared. They were 14 points at 10,282 at around 8 a.m. Eastern. The Nasdaq and S&P futures were also one to 5 points higher.
MOT action
Overnight, Motorola MSI, -0.53% shares surged as much as 23 percent after the handset-to-chips maker's first quarter sales topped forecasts by almost $2 billion. Chipmaker Intel Corp. INTC, -0.60% was marked up some 20 cents in Frankfurt.
The stock was up $3.57, or 22 percent, at $19.79. Some of the surge in wireless phone sales had been anticipated after inventory issues, dealers said, but the outlook was stronger-than-expected as well, they said.
Analysts raised second quarter estimates after the results. Bear Stearns, for one, lifted its 2004 sales and earnings projections to $35.4 billion and 81 cents a share from $28.9 billion and 42 cents a share, respectively.
"We are very impressed with Motorola's turnaround for its core business, but we see the handset competitive environment intensifying in the second quarter of 20 - particularly in Europe, where much of the upside came from," the broker told clients.
Detusche Bank said the strength came in part from delayed introductions of clam-shell camera phones from the fourth quarter. "Still, the simple answer may be that the company simply got everything right this quarter," it added. For the industry, Deutsche said: "While fourth quarter inventory work downs and healthy near-term demand can account for much of this strength, we are becoming worried about over-production. So far, channel checks have not supported a buildup."
Shares of European rival Nokia NOK, -2.23% were down around 1.8 percent in the home Helsinki market.
Focus stocks
Coke KO, -1.10% reported first-quarter net income of $1.13 billion, or 46 cents a share, above the average analyst estimate compared by Thomson First Call of 43 cents a share. Revenue rose 13 percent to $5.08 billion, boosted by a 6 percent increase in gallon shipments and improved concentrate pricing.
J.P.Morgan Chase JPM, +1.28% was up 27 cents at $38.81 after the bank said its first-quarter net income rose amid a strong performance for its capital markets business and an improving commercial credit environment.
Tellabs TLAB rose up 46 cents, or 5.3 percent, to $9.11 after it posted its first quarterly profit in two years as sales exceeded Wall Street's forecast. The phone-networking supplier said it earned $13.4 million, or 3 cents a share, compared with a loss of $42.9 million, or 10 cents, a year earlier.
Ford's sales and revenue totaled $44.7 billion in the March period, up from $40.8 billion in the same period a year earlier. Looking ahead, the company boosted its outlook for the year to earnings of $1.50 to $1.60 per share from its prior projection of $1.20 to $1.30 per share. Shares spiked $1.02, or 7.5 percent, at $14.58 in the pre-open.
United Technologies UTX, +0.32% reported first-quarter net income of $579 million, or $1.14 a share, up from $1 a share in the same period a year ago, and above the average analyst estimate compiled by Thomson First Call of $1.12 a share, amid strength at its Otis and Carrier units and an improved commercial aerospace market. Revenue rose 29 percent to $8.6 billion, topping analyst forecasts of $7.8 billion, helped by the addition of Chubb, organic growth of 8 percent and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation.
Honeywell HON, +0.34% reported first-quarter net income of $295 million, or 34 cents a share, up from 30 cents a share in the same period a year ago, and above the average analyst estimate compiled by Thomson First Call of 30 cents a share. Revenue rose 14 percent to $6.2 billion, exceeding analyst forecasts of $5.7 billion, boosted by strong volume growth and favorable effects of currency translation.
SBC Communications SBC, +1.11% said that strong gains in high-speed Internet and long-distance customers helped first-quarter earnings. Excluding special items, earnings totaled 37 cents, down from 42 cents a year earlier. Still, that beat the 32-cent consensus of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call. Revenue slipped 2.4 percent to $10.1 billion from a year earlier, but it matched the prior quarter's sales.
Whirlpool WHR, -0.12% reported first-quarter net earnings of $101 million, or $1.43 a share, up from $1.32 a share in the same period a year ago, and a nickel a share above the average analyst estimate compiled by Thomson First Call of $1.38 a share. Sales rose 11 percent to $3 billion, exceeding analyst forecasts of $2.9 billion.
German memory chipmaker Infineon Technologies IFX, -2.78% said fiscal second quarter revenue rose 13 percent on the year to 1.671 billion euros, ahead of the consensus estimate for 1.61 billion euros. Earnings-per-share was also 4 euro cents ahead of estimates at 5 euro cents. Shares rose 3 percent in Frankfurt immediately after the midday results. Infineon anticipates "further increasing demand for Memory Products with a positive effect on the development of average prices" in the second half of its fiscal year.
Dutch chip equipment maker ASML ASML, -0.82% fell 2.5 percent after it said it swung to a net profit of 21 million euros during the first quarter, after selling 42 new and 16 refurbished systems worth 453 million euros, up 42 percent from a year ago. It noted that average selling prices were hurt by customer demand for less pricey systems, a situation it believes will reverse as the year progresses.
Nasdaq stocks market maker Knight Trading Group NITE, -0.68% raised its outlook for 2004 earnings per share growth to a range of 74 cents to 95 cents a share, up from Nov. 10 guidance at 65 cents to 85 cents a share. Analysts had been looking for an average of 84 cents, according to Thomson/First Call. Knight said its first quarter was its best since the fourth quarter of 2000, as equity and derivative markets improved and led to volume growth.
Broker calls
UBS commented on Microsoft MSFT, +0.25% ahead of the software maker's results, expected Thursday. The broker expects "the last shoe to drop will be Microsoft's top line guidance for fiscal year 2005." It expects Microsoft may guide to 4 percent to 7 percent year-over-year growth "because of tough comparisons off of fiscal year 2004." UBS added: "The good news is, we believe consensus earnings per share estimates are safe and could potentially rise slightly."

Kindle Is The Future: I Love My Kindle
Kindle Is The Future: I Love My Kindle
I have been an avid lover of books since I was old enough to read. My first chapter book was Black Beauty and I must have read that book a dozen or so times before it fell apart at the spine. Since then I've escaped into a book for the pure reason of simply switching off.
Yes, switching my brain off to the outside world, diving into the book and familiarizing myself with the characters and the adventures that they have from page to page. I have built a beautiful home with a gorgeous study, and I have wall to wall bookcases topped with my favorite books.
I've always read books to enhance my knowledge in all areas, preferring to read fiction, but often reading a non-fiction autobiography too. The thing I found though with non-fiction is, you cannot really switch off, you start to imagine what those people were feeling and going through in their lives, through their experiences I tend to over think the subject and get over sensitive to their situations, which sometimes causes me anxiety. So I tend to stay right away from the non-fiction, unless of course it's a text book and I'm furthering my education.
With a study full of books, my mother one year decided to purchase a Kindle for me for Christmas, stating that the Kindle will save you so much room and money, as I was reading a book a week at times, and costing the household budget a small fortune. I was sceptical at first, simply because I've always enjoyed turning the pages of a book. The crispness of the pages and the smell of the pages as I read them for the first time was something that I had grown to love.
After setting up the Kindle for my use and with my very own Amazon account, I was to purchase my first book, which saved me a whopping $20AUD minimum per book. I was so happy about this, because this meant I could continue to read books at my fast pace, and not worry so much about the cost. There's also a bunch of FREE books on Kindle and through your Amazon account there a special offers popping up all the time for $1.99USD books! This is great for all users, and every Kindle owner should be taking advantage of these little specials in my opinion.
My good friend's husband once asked me whether a Kindle was worth it, as he was worried about the cost. I explained to him that over time the Kindle is so much cheaper than the real book purchase, as Amazon sells the books for mostly half price what you pay in a regular book store. If I mentioned that if he was anything like me, and read a book of about 300 pages every week, then you'd be making a massive saving of the entire year. It wasn't long before he was loving his Kindle too.

Kindle Is The Future: Features
My Kindle is so unreal, that I cannot imagine every buying a fiction book again. As mentioned above I love reading fictional novels, from J.K. Rowling, to Nora Roberts and everything in between.
I've always read to the kids throughout their stages of growth too, and my daughter in particular, has really taken after me, in that she loves to read in her spare time for relaxation as well. To get back to my Kindle however, I needed to explain some really wonderful features that I thought were worth my purchasing a Kindle for my daughter too.
- Kindle's have a light brightness function that you can set for yourself and your eyes. This won't hurt your eyes whilst reading like being in front of a computer screen can.
- Kindle will automatically save the books you've purchased in your own little download and account area, so that you can go back and reread them if you desire.
- Kindle has this super cool function in case your eye sight isn't that great, whereby, it will allow you to change the font size so that you can view the page more clearly.
- When tapping through the pages you can slide your finger with ease without pressing any buttons.
- Kindle has this super feature that tells you how far into the chapter you've read and how far you still have to read of the chapter before it ends.
- Kindle allows you to highlight your favourite text quotes
- Kindle lets you rate your experience after completing every book
- Kindle can store hundreds of books
- Kindle save me money on all my book purchases
- Kindle offer great book deals every single month
To recap why Kindle Is the Future, I would have to strongly suggest that you simply must have a Kindle on your book shelf. This little device has honestly saved me hours of time in travel to book stores, money from discounted book rates, and given me hours of enjoyment. Often lasting a good month before I need to recharge it again. The battery life on my Kindle is simply amazing. I wondered about this when I first received it, thinking that I'd need to charge it up every day. But I've honestly gone a good few weeks without charging it and it still performs in the same way. There's a little hint when the battery starts to deplete and the screen goes a shade darker, but I don't think that's a concern. You just plug it in overnight and away you go again in the morning for another few weeks. Whomever thought of the eReader must have been very clever.

Geoweb® vegetated road verges
Unprotected road verges unable to support active vehicle loads can potentially become very dangerous. To avoid rutting and to stabilise poor road verges, Geoweb is a proven and cost-effective solution for providing stable, vegetated road verges.
The Geoweb and appropriate infill material provide an effective system which combines flexibility and stability. Confining infill material in the system's structure reduces the effects of vertical loads by transferring them into horizontal loads up to a certain degree. The resulting horizontal load distribution minimises stress on the subsoil and significantly reduces deformation compared with conventional unconfined soils respectively substructures/constructions.
The Geoweb for load support pages have more information on Geoweb in this application.

We are not going to write about cycling this week, but about something that is a major part of German life, a major export item: Christmas markets. After a recent study trip lasting two days the three of us, Judith, I and a friend came to the conclusion that there are three types of Christmas market in Germany:
Big and Commercial
These are to be found in the big cities. Of course, they feature professional caterers' stands selling Glühwein (mulled wine) and variations on Bratwurst (grilled sausage). However the majority of stands sell Christmas trifles like Father Christmas hats, tree decorations and shiny glass globes. Most of the stalls are run by market tradespeople. This is normally the type of Christmas market found abroad, outside of Germany. I have not been to a German Christmas market in Britain for ten or so years, so I cannot comment on them, but in Germany in between the stands selling bling and Bratwursts there are a few craftsman selling items they made themselves. Cologne, Düsseldorf and Rothenburg ob der Tauber are typical of these. The latter town has the advantage shops are open on Sundays in Advent. Some of these shops sell interesting hand crafted items of clothing.
Medium sized and full of craftsmen and -women.
If you are interested in picking up interesting items made by artists and craftsmen then look at smaller places like Dinkelsbühl on the Romantic Road where craftspeople predominate though there is no shortage of stands selling hot wine and sausages. The food stands are more often that not run by local clubs.
Village Christmas markets
These are the most fun and the most ethnic. We went to Feuchtwangen on the Romantic Road on Saturday night. It had gone dark when we arrived. We walked through the dark cobbled medieval streets of the small town, down narrow alleys, across the market square and then turned in to the space between the town's two churches. It was an oasis of light in the darkness from the brightly trees strewn with lights on both sides. We stood at a table chatting to locals in a mixture of German and English drinking Glühwein (the rest) or hot cordial (me). The food was locally sourced and home made. The items on sale are simple handicrafts or foods. The profits went to charities, churches and local clubs from the Boy Scouts to the Model Railway Club. We had a very successful evening and in addition managed to visit a choral concert in the protestant church on the square. (On this evening I was the Designated Driver (DD). I was not
drinking, so Glühwein did not cause me to see the world through blurred rose
coloured lenses.)
If you wanted to experience the spectrum of Christmas markets in Germany contact the Tourist Office in Feuchtwangen (www.feuchtwangen.de, email@example.com) or the Romantic Road Tourist Authority: www.romantischestrasse.de for more information. Both organisations will be pleased to help you up with hotel bookings and trips to Dinkelsbühl, Nördlingen and Rothenburg ob der Tauber. You would probably need a taxi or a hire car, though the latter brings with it the DD problem. The German police don't have warm Christmas feelings about driving over the limit. Glühwein gets you there quite quickly, before you notice. Unfortunately public transport in this part of Bavaria is very sparse.

The reviews are in from both patients and professionals in the industry and Dr. Jennifer Walden is one of the top plastic surgeons in Texas and across the country. She has been practicing plastic surgery for just around eight years, which is a very short time to have skyrocketed to the top of her field in the way that she has.
Based out of Austin, she owns her own practice and also has a satellite office in Marble Falls, Texas. She attended University of Texas's medical school and then started her career in Manhattan before ultimately deciding to move back to her home state of Texas and launch her own practice.
She works solely doing cosmetic surgery procedures and while the list of procedures she offers patients is extensive she is extremely well known for her skill and precision in breast augmentations, rhinoplasties, face lifts and procedures around the eye. She also performs a variety of liposuction procedures, botox and more.
One of the interesting things to note about Dr. Jennifer Walden is that out of the 8,000 or so is that she is one of just about 850 female plastic surgeons in America. She is one of just around 12 in Texas that is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. She prides herself on excelling in a male dominated industry and blazing the path for more and more women to become plastic surgeons.
While she has already reached great heights in her career, there is no slowing down for Dr. Jennifer Walden.

Victor J Danilov
December 30, 1924 – July 26, 2018
Dr. Victor J. Danilov was a journalist who became a university educator, science magazine editor, museum director and president, and author. He was the director and president of Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry from 1972-87 when numerous improvements were made, admission was free, and the museum became one of the most popular in the nation with an attendance of nearly 4 million in 1986. Among the innovations at the museum at the time were the addition of the space center and theater, new hands-on exhibits, major traveling exhibits, children's science exhibits and programs, distinguished science lecture series, building department and classes, development department membership program, and President's council and its annual Columbian Ball. In 1974, when Danilov was at the museum, he also was appointed by Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley to be chairman of the city's newly created Chicago Council of Fine Arts. Mayor Daley died several weeks later but Danilov was reappointed by three other mayors (Michael Bilandic, Jane Byrne, and Harold Washington) to continue for eight years as head of the agency that eventually developed into the city's Arts Council. Danilov was born in Farrell, PA on December 30, 1924. When he was five years old, he was stricken with polio. He was largely able to overcome its effects with the operation at Cleveland Clinic and the care that followed, and took an early interest in the newspapers and basketball. He became an honor student who started a junior high newspaper, became an editor of the Farrell High School newspaper, and played on the school basketball team that went to state finals and was named to the state All-Star team. He also work part time as a reporter for the Sharon (PA) Herald, the local newspaper. Danilov received a scholarship to Pennsylvania State University, where he edited the campus newspaper, played on the varsity basketball team, was a fraternity president, and was active in various student societies. He received a bachelors degree in journalism in 1945 in the two-year accelerated academic program during the world war years. He then enrolled in the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and earned a masters degree in journalism in 1946. Danilov initially worked as a desk editor at the Youngstown Ohio Vindicator and reporter at the Pittsburgh Sun- Telegraph and Chicago Daily News. In 1950, he became a journalism instructor at the University of Colorado and then assistant professor of journalism at the University of Kansas the following year. It was during this time period that he wrote "Public Affairs Reporting," the first of the 28 books he authored over the years. In 1953, Danilov became a director of public relations at Illinois Institute of Technology Armour Research Foundation (now IIT Research Institute). He then left Chicago in 1957 to become director of the university relations and publications at the University of Colorado. This led to his appointment in 1962 as executive editor and vice president of the Industrial Research Inc., which published such science magazines as Industrial Research, Oceanology International, and Electro-Technology. He later became director of the company's annual "IR100" competition that honored the best science and industrial development every year. In 1964, Danilov also received his doctorate in education from the University of Colorado. In 1971, Danilov became vice president of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. He was made director of the Museum in 1972 and then president and director in 1978. He retired in 1987 at the same time as his wife, Toni Dewey, who retired as the first woman officer of Motorola and the director of public relations and advertising. They moved to the Colorado foothills near Boulder. Danilov established and directed a summer Museum Management program for the museum director's and department heads at the University of Colorado, which he ran for 17 years. Dewey attempted to start a museum about Western women, but did not receive sufficient support. They then returned to the Chicago area in 2004, settling in Evanston, where Dewey died in 2014. Danilov continued to write books after returning to the Chicago area. 16 of his 28 books are about the history, collections, exhibits, and programs of the museums. They range from ethnic, corporate, and university museums to historic, science, and women's museums. His last book "Famous Americans", published in 2013, was devoted to persons considered "famous," such as former presidents, military leaders, movie stars, athletes, artists, and others from 26 fields. Danilov leaves two adult children, Duane P. Danilov in Wenatchee, Wash., and Denise S. Danilov in Durango, Colo., and a step son, Thomas J. Dewey, in Wildwood, IL. Graveside services will be held 10:00 a.m., Saturday, August 18, 2018 at Calvary Cemetery, 301 Chicago Ave., Evanston, IL 60202.
