When it comes to valentines day flowers roses. Sixty two percent of women surveyed prefer shades of roses such as yellow, pink, peach, and white. Today there are 120 varieties of roses available and the number is growing everyday. Better yet, with new technologies rose farms are creating roses that have larger blooms with longer and stronger stems.
If growers cannot create the
perfect colour of rose they
will dye roses to produce vibrant blues, sharp greens, and deep
luscious purples. Now many people who know me will find it amazing that I'm informing you of this option. But let me go on record I am not a fan of the dye absorbed roses. I do find them tacky, messing to work with, and the biggest reason this option of colours are just not in mother natures colouring box. But if your significant other loves the colour blue then go for it!!
Another option to giving the traditional rose bouquet for Valentine's
day is to have a mixed bouquet of cut flowers created. A variety of
colours and blooms will express your message of love just as effective
as roses (check out the meanings of flowers)-- and it can sometimes be a little more original. In fact one of the main reasons I suggest a mixed bouquet of flowers is that every bloom finishes at a different time, making your gift of flowers last as long as possible.
Other impressive bouquets of lilies, orchids or gerbera daisies are great bouquets to send.
Make the decision before ordering;
-whether you would like to send flowers so that your person receiving has to put in a vase of their own?
-or that is already in a vase or container.
The pros and cons.....Sending cut flowers eliminates the cost of a vase and the labour charge for the designer to create it, but the person receiving has to search the house to find a proper container then design the flowers.
Now picture this.....you give a floral arrangement already designed in a vase or container the receiver is a lot quicker to start giving you lots of hugs and kisses... instead of searching though the house for a vase.
Don't Forget To;
Crank-up the passion on Valentine's day? Add an adorable teddy bear, mylar balloon, or box of chocolates to your floral bouquet.
One Last Tip;
The card message whenever possible write it yourself, write it with your heart you can never go wrong.
For a complete selection of Valentine's day gifts and flowers check out below. Remember to order your Valentine's day flowers early to avoid disappointment!Send Flowers For Valentines day

[B][SIZE=3][COLOR=DimGray]Panasonic's new GX8 is packed with cutting-edge developments for Micro Four Thirds[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]
Don't just look at the Lumix DMC-GX8 as an update to the [URL="http://fourthirds-user.com/2013/08/panasonic_lumix_dmcgx7_handson_preview.php"]two year old GX7[/URL], or a flat-top version of the [URL="http://fourthirds-user.com/2015/05/panasonic_reveals_4kequipped_dmcg7.php"]recently released G7[/URL]. I had an afternoon to try out the GX8 recently at a rather blustery Brighton and discovered why the GX8 is rather special.
[LIST][*]One-third more pixels - a 20 megapixel first for Micro Four Thirds.
[*]Dual Image Stabilisation - not just a choice of in-body IS or in-lens IS, but a system that can automatically choose which to use automatically.
[*]A large and high-resolution electronic viewfinder.
[*]A 'proper' side-hinged LCD touch screen.
[*]And not forgetting 4K movie and stills capability including the enhanced 4K stills modes introduced with the G7.[/LIST]
The above number the main GX8 highlights for me at least.
For Micro Four Thirds watchers I expect the biggest talking point to be the increase in resolution from 16 to 20 megapixels. It doesn't sound a lot but it's an increase of a third. Pre-announcement speculation about the impact of a more densely-packed sensor revealed concerns about noise and dynamic range. I was able to shoot with the GX8 at its highest ISO settings but a more definitive feel for the camera's performance will have to wait until I get to use a final production sample over a longer period of time. But I an at least report that there were no glaring issues at high ISOs compared to an Olympus OM-D E-M1 I had with me at the same time.
The dual-IS system is very interesting. Until the GX8, its predecessor - the GX7 was the only Panasonic Lumix G-series model to incorporate an in-body IS (IBIS) system. The GX7 employed a moving sensor system that was basic compared to Olympus' much-praised 5-Axis system and the GX8's 4-Axis system (vertical, horizontal, tilt and yaw, but no rotational correction) still can't quite match Olympus but the ability to have both lens IS (OIS) and IBIS switched on at the same time and the camera sensing and choosing which system to use as a priority is entirely logical. It's a 'Program' mode for IS!
Another welcome improvement in the GX8 over the GX7 is the bigger and brighter viewfinder view which is now on a par with the class-leading E-M1 and E-M5 Mark II viewfinders. I did experience some brightness inconsistencies; live view tended to be darker than the pictures turned out when reviewing them, but this may have been a pre-production camera issue.
Having sampled the enhancements made to 4K stills shooting we first saw in the G7 a couple of months ago it was good to see the same options available on the GX8. I personally feel there is quite a lot more to do to make 4K stills shooting work better - particularly in the way AF works while composing your shot - but the G7 and GX8 have moved a long way in the right direction.
A move back to the more popular and versatile side-hinged LCD is bound to be welcomed by most but, and there is always a but - it does seem to make the camera feel bulkier than the GX7 and that extra size doesn't even afford enough space for a built-in flash, which GX7 users do have at their disposal.
Panasonic tell us that the GX7 was a pivotal model for them two years ago and the GX8 has all the ingredients to repeat this feat in 2015. I'm very much looking forward to spending more time with a GX8 soon.

So happy to be introducing you to Winter Water Factory today. They are a Brooklyn-based company who design and produce screen printed textiles and organic children's clothing. Designer Stefanie Lynen clearly has an eye for fun graphic prints, and draws her inspiration from vintage wallpaper and children's books. Winter Water Factory only work with 100% certified organic cotton, and their range is designed, screen printed, and made in the USA.
I just love their ethos of creating high-quality products for a healthy planet. Whilst buying clothes for Bailey, that is at the forefront of my mind. I like to know that what she is putting on her body is ethically made. With lots of high-street shops it's hard to know the origins of how something was manufactured.
Also I want her to be able to play hard in her clothes, and don't want to worry about her wearing stuff out. Ideally the only reason she stops wearing something is because it no longer fits. We know lots of other little ones we can pass things on to, and to me it just makes good sense to design, and buy clothes that are made to last.
Of course the organic cotton is super soft, making this sweatshirt one of Bailey's favourites. Plus, I think the simple graphic boat print is just wonderful, making it one of my favourites too.
I hear through the parenting grapevine that it can be hard to find clothes with cool designs for boys in the UK. My experience when looking for friends, and Bailey's cousins, is that there is not a lot of choice. Well, Winter Water Factory also have some fantastic prints for boys.
We had a fun hour on the beach playing amongst the boats. Bailey found a fish, which was a fair distance from the water, and was of course dead. She is full of questions about everything at the moment. Sometimes I feel like I can actually see her little mind ticking away as she processes it all. This motionless fish was the gateway to lots of questions about things being alive, and things being dead, and who might eat the fish, people and / or birds, (but not us as we are vegetarian)…
When we get to a point were I think there are no more questions for now, and that she has boxed something away, she always comes back with just one more. I love to see her grasp ideas and concepts and figure them out, it can't help but make me look at things in a different way too.
Finally, I just wanted to share the story behind the name of the company… Back in the 1980s (in Germany), Stefanie and her sister created the original 'Winterwasserfabrik', where they bottled melted snow and sold it to their parents as… "winter water" – such a sweet memory to have, and a great starting point from which to grow an independent company. I am so glad to have discovered Winter Water Factory, and their organic cotton clothes. You can tell they are a team with a lot of affection for what they do, and therefore they can't help but create things that are designed, printed and made with love.
This post is in collaboration with Winter Water Factory

SIRT1 Deacetylates FOXA2 and Is Critical for Pdx1 Transcription and β-Cell Formation
1. Genetics of Development and Disease Branch, 10/9N105, National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland MD 20892, USA;
Pancreas duodenum homeobox 1 (PDX1) is essential for pancreas development and β-cell formation; however more studies are needed to clearly illustrate the precise mechanism regarding spatiotemporal regulation of Pdx1 expression during β-cell formation and development. Here, we demonstrate that SIRT1, FOXA2 and a number of proteins form a protein complex on the promoter of the Pdx1 gene. SIRT1 and PDX1 are expressed in the same set of cells during β-cell differentiation and maturation. Pancreas-specific disruption of SIRT1 diminished PDX1 expression and impaired islet development. Consequently, SIRT1 mutant mice develop progressive hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, and insulin insufficiency, which directly correlate with the extent of SIRT1 deletion. We further show that SIRT1 interacts with and deacetylates FOXA2 on the promoter of the Pdx1gene, and positively regulates its transcription. These results uncover an essential role of SIRT1 in β-cell formation by maintaining expression of PDX1 and its downstream genes, and identify pancreas-specific SIRT1 mutant mice as a relevant model for studying insulin insufficiency.
Keywords: SIRT1, FOXA2, PDX1, insulin.

Does it count if it wasn't in a race situation? In my mind, hell ya!
We had our first snow in Bend this morning and I took that as an opportunity to go check out an area of town that I had not ran previously; A good mixture of gravel road and pavement on the east side of town. The result was I ran a 13.19 miles in 1:54. My previous best time at this distance was about 2:04. There was about 600 feet of elevation on the initial 6, so that called for some decent negative splits.

Although I said I would continue reading the The Steerswoman series when I was 126 or so, curiosity got the better of me and I dove into Volume Two of the series, The Outskirter's Secret.
In this next book, the Steerswoman Rowan and her Outskirter friend Bel journey into Bel's homeland, the distant and dangerous Outskirts, which is this world's word for barbarian. They are looking for the source of the mysterious blue gemstones with the silver lines in them. Rowan is quite sure that the source is a fallen guidestar, which is some sort of apparatus placed in orbit in the sky maybe thousands of years ago by wizards. The wizards in Rowan's neck of the woods having learned of her interest in this phenomenon, are out to get her, and she and we readers have no idea why.
As you may recall, a Steerswoman is a kind of traveling encyclopedia, gathering and dispensing information and knowledge. The rules of their order are that anyone can ask them anything and they must answer truthfully. In turn, they will ask questions, and the person must answer, or forever be banned from asking anything else of the Steerswomen.
This second volume is very much a typical quest tale, as the two women enter a land of strange biospheres, unusual plants, odd animals, overcome goblins, demons and some pretty horrific weather. They must deal with the suspicious and paranoid Outskirter tribes who inhabit this strange land. Their paranoia is justified, and their tightly held customs are meant for the survival of the tribe.
The two women come upon a tribe and ask to travel with them for safety, where they meet up with another traditional quest element — the willing helper. He is from the Inner Land, but has chosen to live as an Outskirter and was finally admitted to the tribe.
Do the women finally reach the source of the gemstones? Yes, after much hazardous and arduous traveling. Do they solve the mystery of the guidestars and the wizards? Nope. Not in this volume. Dang. But we get the feeling that the magic that the wizards use to control the guidestars is some vestige of high technology.
If you decide to read the series, I recommend a quick pass through Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey, where he explains the quest and its meaning. And to make it really easy for you, here is a concise rundown on it from Mythologyteacher.com. Because this series is shaping up to be a textbook case.
So we have more battles, bravery, gore, treachery, betrayal, and help from unexpected sources. I'm really getting into it. Just started the next volume.

EEOC files religious discrimination lawsuit against hospitality staffing firm
Posted July 18, 2016
An Orlando staffing company dedicated to Central Florida's hospitality industry violated federal law by firing an employee over his Rastafarian religious practices, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has charged in a lawsuit.
According to EEOC's suit the company denied a religious accommodation to an employee assigned to work at a hotel as a prep cook, from late 2011 through February 2013, when he was fired. The employee practices Rastafarianism, and wears his hair in dreadlocks in observance of his religious beliefs. The employee worked at the jobsite with his dreadlocks tucked under his hat for over a year without question or incident.
Following a February 5, 2013, inspection of the kitchen area by a hotel staff member for compliance with the hotel appearance standards, staffing company management told the employee he had to cut his hair if he wanted to return to work, despite his explanation that he could not do so because he was a practicing Rastafarian and that he grew his hair into dreadlocks as part of his religious beliefs.
The lawsuit claims that because the employee did not cut his hair, he was prohibited from returning to work at the hotel. The staffing company made no effort to accommodate the employee's religious beliefs, and he was terminated.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits religious discrimination and requires employers to make reasonable accommodations to employees' sincerely held religious beliefs so long as this does not pose an undue hardship to the business.
The EEOC is asking the court to grant a permanent injunction enjoining the staffing company from further engaging in any employment practice that discriminates against employees because of their religious beliefs and requiring the company to reasonably accommodate the religious beliefs of employees in the future.
The suit also asks the court to order the staffing company to reinstate the employee, grant back pay, provide compensatory and punitive damages, and award any other relief the court deems necessary and proper.

Last night in Seattle, Michael Morse stepped to the plate as the sound of A-Ha's "Take on Me" echoed throughout a virtually empty Safeco Field.
It was a different scene from the last time Nats fans saw Morse and "Take on Me" in the same place at the same time. In the bottom of the eighth inning in the deciding game of the NLDS against St Louis, Nationals fans belted the "Take on Me" lyric in a day or two just as Morse drove a base hit to center field. It was an awesome moment.
Last night after being introduced to "Take on Me", Morse crushed a 2-run homer to right field.
In an interview with Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post in January, shortly after his trade to the Mariners, Morse had this to say about whether he would take his signature song to Seattle with him: "I'm 50-50 right now. I feel like that's something me and the people of D.C. kind of shared. We'll see how it goes."
Well, it went. And he kept the song.
For their part, the Nationals have started playing "Take on Me" during the seventh inning stretch, which, so far, is just kind of weird and awkward.

Lawyers & Judges » NEIL GORSUCH
|Full name
|: Neil Gorsuch
|: Neil Gorsuch
|: Men
|: American
|: 29-08-1967
|: Denver, Colorado
|: The Sheep
|: Virgo
|: Lawyers & Judges
Neil Gorsuch served as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit before his nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Donald Trump.
Born in Colorado in 1967, Neil Gorsuch was the first child of Anne Gorsuch, who ran the EPA in the early 1980s. A conservative voice at Columbia University and Harvard Law School, he went on to success at a Washington, D.C., law firm before briefly working at the U.S. Department of Justice. Named to the the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in 2006, Gorsuch established himself as an originalist and supporter of religious freedom in his opinions. In January 2017, he was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Donald Trump.
On January 31, 2017, Neil Gorsuch was nominated by President Donald Trump to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February 2016.
For some, Gorsuch was a logical choice to replace the deceased justice. Like Scalia, he was known as a strict originalist and a colorful writer. Additionally, on a court consisting of five Catholic and three Jewish justices, all from the East Coast, it was believed he offered a different perspective as a Protestant from a Western state.
However, coming on the heels of a year-long stalemate, in which Senate Republicans had refused to allow a hearing for Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, Gorsuch was expected to face a bruising battle for his confirmation.
Setting the table for the showdown, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said, "The burden is on Judge Neil Gorsuch to prove himself to be within the legal mainstream and, in this new era, willing to vigorously defend the Constitution from abuses of the executive branch and protect the constitutionally enshrined rights of all Americans."
Neil McGill Gorsuch was born on August 29, 1967, in Denver, Colorado. The oldest child of two lawyers, he was a studious child who also enjoyed outdoor activities.
Gorsuch began spending more time in Washington, D.C., after his mother, Anne, became the first woman to run the Environmental Protection Agency, in 1981. However, she resigned under pressure 22 months into the job after refusing to turn over subpoenaed documents. Around that time she also divorced her husband, David.
Despite the turmoil of his home life, Gorsuch adapted well to Georgetown Preparatory School in Maryland, where he was voted class president as a senior. At Columbia University, he displayed his conservative views as a writer for the Columbia Daily Spectator and co-founder of The Federalist Paper. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1988.
Gorsuch then attended Harvard Law School, where he was classmates with Barack Obama, earning his J.D. in 1991.
Neil Gorsuch lives in a mountain-view community in Boulder County, Colorado, with his wife, Louise, and two daughters. There he raises farm animals and indulges his love for the outdoors by fishing, hunting and skiing.
Gorsuch has also been involved in his local legal community, and has taught ethics and antitrust law as a Thomson Visiting Professor at the University of Colorado Law School.

Spoken Agreements and Silent Arrangements
Debra L. Kaplan
During a particularly tense session of couple's therapy, Kelly turned to Robert, her partner of eight years, and said, "You agreed that you would work at paying down your debt, but I don't see you doing that!" Robert, clearly offended, sprang forth with anger: "What right do you have to accuse me when I work hard everyday, just as hard as you do?" Kelly was about to go for his therapeutic jugular when I interrupted her.
"Kelly, when you met Robert, what information did you have about his financial situation, and what information did you choose to ignore?" I understood the situation, as this was a topic often addressed in couple's therapy.
When they met and started dating, Robert was dealing with a recent bankruptcy, and his financial situation was fragile. As Kelly described it, "Robert was reeling from a business deal gone awry, and he was doing the best he could to get back on his feet." Robert promised Kelly that, due to his business acumen, his situation would be short-lived. He maintained that he would bounce back from his mounting debts.
Although Robert's promise of financial rebound didn't materialize, the two moved in together early in their relationship. Before long, they started arguing about finances. Every few months, they came to resolve their issues in therapy - only to back away from the most obvious of issues between them. Kelly had agreed to move in with Robert based on what she knew, and she had chosen to avoid asking questions that would have helped her make a healthier decision.
This relationship, and many others like it, operates on two levels of understanding: The first level speaks to agreements based on information we know, and the second level speaks to the silent arrangements we make based on information we ignore.
Kelly knew about Robert's financial situation but chose to ignore the fact that he was struggling to make ends meet. Kelly also chose to ignore the fact that, rather than paying off his debts, Robert continued spending his money and building financial stress.
How many times do we venture forth in romantic relationships, despite our "our gut instinct" telling us that it isn't right? How many relationships begin with the ominous belief that "I don't care for her/his friends, but once we're together, s/he will change?" If we remain committed to blind hope or desire, we ensure relational demise.
We treat our relationships with ourselves as less important than relationships with others. We allow our hopes and/or desires to push us forward, "eyes wide shut." We risk losing our true selves as well as our potential for enduring positive change.
We often know more than we think we do when we make decisions regarding relationships and life choices. Because we cannot come to grips with the outcome, we often tune out important knowledge in lieu of walking away or sticking to what we know is right. At times, the very information we need in order to have a solid relationship is the very information that we neglect, even when it is in plain sight.
In the case of Kelly and Robert, his bankruptcy resulted from a less-than-stellar work ethic and poor choices. This did not change when he moved into Kelly's house, but she chose to ignore this vital information. Her need to have Robert move in was stronger than her need to ask for more information. Had she asked questions, Kelly may not have moved forward in the relationship. While that would have been painful for her, it would have been less painful than eight years of emotional turmoil, financial ups and downs, and unresolved relationship cycles.
The act of recovery means living life on life's terms and, at times, this means disappointing ourselves and/or another. Recovery demands that we be willing to disappoint ourselves and others in order to live healthy, fulfilled lives. Meeting the demands of life on life's terms is a formidable challenge for many of us. More difficult yet is the challenge to set and meet our own demands while being honest with ourselves. This rigorous honesty is no less necessary in a relationship. We must ask the tough questions and act upon reality as it is, rather than how we wish it to be.

Warehouse building owner, PG&E targets of lawsuit linked to fatal fire
OAKLAND (BCN) -- A master lawsuit on behalf of the families of half of the 36 people who were killed in a warehouse fire in Oakland in December was filed today against the building's owner, its master tenant, PG&E and other defendants.
After the suit was filed in Alameda County Superior Court, Mary Alexander, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, said, "We're here to bring justice to the families of those who died and to hold accountable those who caused this horrific fire" at the Ghost Ship warehouse on Dec. 2.
Alexander said the new suit expands upon lawsuits that were filed on behalf of two victims' families in December that mainly focused on allegations of negligence against Chor Ng, the owner of the warehouse at 1315 31st Ave. in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood, Derick Ion Almena, the warehouse master tenant, and his wife, Micah Allison.
She said the new complaint also names PG&E as a defendant because she and other plaintiffs' attorneys believe that the utility "was negligent in supplying power to the building and failed to make it safe."
Alexander said, "PG&E failed to follow its own rules for providing electricity in a safe manner and acted with conscious and willful disregard for peoples' safety."
The suit also names that night's performer, Joel Shanahan, whose stage name is Golden Donna, Jon Hrabko and a business called "100% Silk," claiming they, along with Almena and Allison, were organizers of the Dec. 2 event, which was attended by at least 100 people.
In addition, two men who leased buildings neighboring the Ghost Ship warehouse, Daniel Lopez and Omar Vega, are also named in the suit, which claims they provided electricity and bathroom access to event attendees.
Christopher Dolan, another attorney for the plaintiffs, said that although the city of Oakland isn't named in the suit that was filed today, he believes it is "absolutely culpable for what happened because it turned a blind eye to the death trap" that he believes the Ghost Ship warehouse was.
Dolan said separate claims have been filed against the city of Oakland, Alameda County and the state of California and he believes those parties will eventually be added to the new suit.
Alexander said she believes that all of the family members of the 36 victims of the blaze will ultimately be added to the suit.
The Alameda County District Attorney's Office is conducting a criminal investigation into the fire but spokeswoman Teresa Drenick said the probe is ongoing and she doesn't know when it will be complete.
Almena's lawyers have said he didn't engage in any criminal misconduct and alleged that government agencies are responsible for the fire.

When Personal Information is Submitted
If you register on the forum or backer panel, some personal information such as your name and email address will be submitted to our website. Typically, your email is used for logging in and to recover your password if you have forgotten it.
We try to avoid asking for any personal information we don't need. For example, we don't ask for a shipping address unless there is a physical item that needs to be shipped to you. And if we do ask for more, we try to keep it anonymous and optional. For example, we have a short survey on the backer panel. It asks questions such as what your age and favourite game is. Answers are collected and stored anonymously, in a separate place to your name/shipping address/etc., so they can't be tied back to you. On top of that, the survey is optional. We don't force anyone to answer it as part of our service, although we really do appreciate it when people take the time to do so.
Mailing Lists
When you register on the backer panel we will email you updates about Broken Sword 5. If you do not wish to receive these emails you can unsubscribe by following a link in the email you receive. Please note that unsubscribing from updates may cause you to miss important information, such as release dates and when digital rewards become available.
Personal Information and Third Parties
We do not share the information you submit to our forums with third parties. However, threads in our forums are publically viewable, so please be aware that any personal information you decide to post in a forum thread is exposed to the general public.
Personal information entered in the backer panel, such as your shipping address, may be shared with a third party for the purpose of manufacturing and shipping your rewards. For example, if you pledged for a t-shirt we'll have to tell our partners what your address is, or the t-shirt will just be stuck in a warehouse somewhere!
We trust our partners not to share this information with anyone else. And we won't share your information with any third parties unless strictly necessary for our commitment to you, such as delivering rewards.
Game Sessions
When you play our games on Android and iOS, we collect some anonymous metrics to help us give better support to a variety of platforms and improve our gameplay. These include:
A device identifier (either the Google ANDROID_ID or the iOS Device ID)
The device type and OS version
Device Country/Language
Game Name/Version
Game progress and interaction, such as hints and features used.
We do not have a way to, nor do we seek to, use any of this information (including device identifier) to link it to any personal data. For example, we might be able to see that 20 people have found a particular easter egg, but we don't know who those people are. No information we collect from game sessions is shared with third parties.
We would like to add the option to opt out of metrics in the near future.
Access to Information
You have the right to access information held about you. You can access the majority of information we hold via the respective areas (eg. forums, backer panel).

Changes to our Privacy Policy
We may need to change our Privacy Policy from time to time. For example, if we add a new section to the website such as a store or a highscore table. Any changes we may make will be posted on this page, so please check back from time to time.

In an opinion published online in JAMA in August, Lawrence O. Gostin, professor of medicine and faculty director of the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown, joined colleagues to make the case for declaring the U.S. opioid epidemic a national public health emergency. The action "authorizes public health powers, mobilizes resources, and facilitates innovative strategies to curb a rapidly escalating public health crisis," the authors explain. Six states and several tribal governments have already declared public health emergencies for the opioid epidemic, but a national emergency declaration would create a critical, coordinated "surge response." The authors note that with 180,000 opioid overdose deaths predicted by 2020, "Opioid abuse is among the most consequential preventable public health threats facing the nation."
Running Helps Older Women regenerate bone density, offsetting bone loss during meno pause, says Georgetown Professor of Family Medicine Ranit Mishori, MD (M'02), in a recent article in the Washington Post. Herself a runner and former triathlete, Mishori adds that running can help reduce other adverse effects of menopause including hot flashes, circulation problems, and depression.
For the latest on Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and the Affordable Care Act, follow Georgetown's popular "Say Ahhh!" health policy blog. The articles and reports are produced by the university's Center for Children & Families (CCF), part of the Health Policy Institute at the McCourt School of Public Policy. CCF is an independent, nonpartisan policy and research center with a mission to expand and improve highquality, affordable health coverage. Founded in 2005, the center is devoted to improving the health of America's children and families, particularly those with low and moderate incomes.
For the last five years, incoming first and second-year Georgetown School of Medicine students live the spirit of cura personalis by planning and running a sports camp for homeless children living in the DC General Family Shelter.
"Trying new things and sharing in the laughter of the week requires a certain trust that these kids don't often get to develop in the chaotic environment of a family shelter," says Jessica Haladyna (M'20), camp director. "The camp isn't about the games that we play, but the sportsmanship and teamwork that grow into longlasting friendships and life lessons."

Zoom OAuth 2
Zoom provides an OAuth 2 implementation to authenticate a Zoom user in your application or workflow without a need for them to expose their username/passwords/API credentials. Below are some guides on how to get started.
Meetingbird has used oAuth handshake with our platform and has published an example code. check out their git repo"
Step 1
Register your OAuth Application at developer.zoom.us.
Provide an App Name, Description, Icon URL and Redirect URI (you can provide multiple in a comma separated string). The App Name must be unique and not previously registered. After completing the information click "Register" and you should be presented with a Client ID and Secret. Take note of this information.
Step 2
Present the user with an action to Authorize Zoom, this can be a link or a button. When the action is triggered redirect the user to the Zoom OAuth authorization url
https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize with the following parameters: response_type, client_id and redirect_uri
|This is the authorization type. This will always be set to "code".
|The client identifier issued to the client during
the registration process
|Where to redirect the user back to after authorization. This must match one of the redirect URIs used during registration.
An example complete url would be similar to:
Step 3
Assuming the user confirmed authorization of your application, the will be redirected to the redirect_uri with a query parameter 'code'
You will then use the 'code' value to obtain an OAuth token. Making a server side request to https://zoom.us/oauth/token providing the parameters: grant_type, code and redirect_uri and using Basic Authentication where user is client id and password is client secret.
|This is the grant type. This will always be set to "authorization_code".
|This is the code returned in the previous step
|Where to redirect the user back to after authorization. This must match one of the redirect URIs used during registration.
Make sure that you add the Basic auth header to this request with username set to client id password set to client secret as follows:
An example cURL request would look like
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \ --user jzqjgCxPSQSJ4wj6BeWrtQ:333fR0hA019TduHjKsFWMWDurToMEKWw \ --data 'grant_type=authorization_code&code=eYanu1uG5TucLenI&redirect_uri=https://myapp.com/oauth' \ https://zoom.us/oauth/token
The response will be:
{ "access_token":"5kwaMOrdEFWx1jYVK8qg80cImPYBA83Z", "token_type":"bearer", "refresh_token":"Ggf2816C5ANa6XVplzO8vwE6IRIXtjvE", "expires_in":3599, "scope":"meeting:write user:read recording:write webinar:write" }
Step 4
Now that you have an OAuth token you can use it to call the APIs on behalf of the user. You authenticate the api call by passing an Authorization header and bearer token.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer 5kwaMOrdEFWx1jYVK8qg80cImPYBA83Z" https://zoom.us/api/profile
In Step 3 you'll notice that you also received a refresh_token and a expires (how long the token is good for in seconds) value (Note: Access token expiry time is 1 hour. For future requests use refresh token, which has the expire time currently set to 30 days). If you need to make additional calls after the token expires you will need to refresh your original token. You can do this similar as in step 3, modifying grant_type to 'refresh_token' and instead of 'code' pass the 'refresh_token'
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \ --user jzqjgCxPSQSJ4wj6BeWrtQ:333fR0hA019TduHjKsFWMWDurToMEKWw \ --data 'grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=Ggf2816C5ANa6XVplzO8vwE6IRIXtjvE' \ https://zoom.us/oauth/token
Login with SSO
If you are not signed in, you will see a sign in page with an option to "Sign in with SSO". You can Sign in with SSO using your "company domain name" (e.g. yourcompany.zoom.us) or if you do not know your company name, you can click "I don't know my company name", afterwards you can "Enter your email address" to finish authentication.
API availability
The following APIs are now available to be used with the oAuth token.
User API
Meeting APIs
Webinar APIs
Cloud Recording
Node.js Example
The below is some example code in Node.js that would be your redirect URI location.

I've been watching the Amazon Kindle Press Release from September 28, 2011. The new Kindles are exciting, and the prices are coming down. I am intrigued by the Kindle Fire--it integrates all sorts of things, such as music, reading, and watching movies. It's in color. And yes, I did say, you can watch movies on it. And it's cheap for a tablet -- $199.
But you know what? Kindle still sucks.
I enjoy my Kindle. With a reading disability, it makes reading possible and enjoyable for me again. It's great. I like listening to books. I like being able to read classics for free. I like the nearly instantaneous delivery. I like being able to email documents for free to read on my Kindle with text-to-speech.
But what I hate, absolutely hate, is that Kindle has made it possible to download thousands of books, and find none of them.
Oh, they have collections. You can sort by title and author. But you can't sort by read and unread. And it's a pain in the butt to try and press through my hundreds of books and put them into collections, which I can't arrange the way I want to arrange them. I can't see covers, either. Not even when I open a book for the first time do I get to see the cover. Covers help me remember.
I want to be able to organize my content in the way that works for me. I want to be able to put it into hierarchies to sort it. I want a folder system.
But you know what? I'd settle for being able to manage my Kindle from my Mac. I can't. All I can do is delete and download from my archive. It would be so much easier to be able to use a keyboard where I can actually type at a reasonable speed instead of pecking out the collection names.
And given that Kindle says it wants syncing to be simple and invisible... that means, if I bust my butt to go through the incredibly awkward, tedious, and time-consuming process of setting up collections, I want them to appear on my other devices. Like my Mac.
Kindles are supposed to make reading easy -- but if you have over a hundred books loaded on your Kindle, reading is no longer easy. I want more books, I do, but I have curtailed my appetite for Kindle because I don't want to bury myself any further in books I can find and which take such a gargantuan effort to organize.
When I need to look something up in a book, I don't reach for my Kindle. I go to my bookshelf or I look it up on the web. It's just plain easier to call up the Gutenberg edition of Moby-Dick and search it than searching through a Kindle. Typing a search term on the web is so much easier than typing a search term on the Kindle.
The Kindles are now very cheap -- an ad-supported Kindle can be had for as little as $79. A lot of people are going to be getting Kindles. This is a good deal, and even though Kindle has its flaws, I still recommend it. It's still better than the competitors. But when oh when will somebody actually create a reader for people who love books?

Unless you were in some time vortex over the past 36 hours you no doubt know that Apple released the iPad, a 3:4 screen with basic computer features. This iPad launched with the usual hype of Apple product launches, and of course every Apple gear head and iPhone user thought "oh wow" and then "oh stink"
What were you expecting?
Steve Jobs is well known for saying:
Apple will not produce a netbook computer for under $500
Why is EVERY ONE comparing the iPad to a netbook? Oh well okay there is THIS picture from the Apple launch I guess:
But here Steve wasn't saying that Apple is creating a netbook, rather he's saying there is a gap in the gadget sector between smart phones and traditional computers (be they laptops or desktops). He's saying everyone else is filling them with 'netbooks' – take what's good about computers and make them smaller. Apple are look at this differently, take what's good about smart phone devices and make them bigger.
There are some key items here to remember. A netbook is NOT a full computer, so there are some things you just can't do on them. A tablet is NOT a smart phone, so again there are things you just can't do – they don't make sense to do.
The Apple team have seen what they think is the best fit in this market, they've ignored the "trends" and created what THEY believe is the best fit. Sometimes in life that is the hardest thing to do, just because everyone else is doing XY and Z doesn't mean that's right.
The complaints
Lets look at some of the complaints from different places. Gizmodo have a list of reasons why NOT to buy the iPad – lets address some of these.
- No Multitasking: This is probably the ONE thing I'll agree with, there should be some way to run more than ONE app at a time. Just because it doesn't right now, doesn't mean it wont. I think it will. Some apps like Pandora may make sense – but then 99% of the target audience won't know what Pandora is & the built in iPod will be their music player of choice and that DOES run in a multitask mode. So you want to listen to music – use the iPod.
- No Cameras: This I just don't get. I don't see WHY you want a device the size of a magazine with a camera in it? You've got your point & shoot digital camera, your mobile phone probably has a camera and your computer has a webcam. How many cameras do you want? I just don't see the NEED for this device to have another camera. (update: don't bother saying "video calls" .. if you are tech savy enough for video calls, you won't be using this device)
- No HDMI out: HDM what now? Seriously, go ask your Mum or Dad what HDMI is. Actually ask almost anyone outside of a BestBuy employee or gadget freak and they'll go …. ??? what? Again, this is a personal device, why do I want HDMI on it? If I want to share media with my TV I'm a bit of a gadget freak, therefore I probably have some Media computer already (XBMC, Boxee, Apple TV etc), or my iMac has EyeTV or … again, I'm probably out of the target audience for this device. HDMI just doesn't make sense
- No Flash: Why is everyone SO upset about this, and why am I not? For those of you in the know I once was a big Flash proponent (I'm a published author on Flash technology) – but to me Flash has done it's job & it's being replaced (more on that in "Youtube – the death of Flash"). Don't get me wrong, Flash is great for Games and it was great for video, but both Youtube & Vimeo are moving to HTML5 video support. The Flash argument (which is not flash on the iPhone or iPad, but Flash in mobile safari) is mute – you want flash on your device – for what? Video? Move to HTML5 and be done with it.
- Adapters for everything: Of course you need adapters, you are trying to get this device to do something outside it's primary function. You have to adapt it to do it. It's a WiFi device .. not USB, not HDMI or others. You want to import photos from your camera? Okay use a USB adapter … OR use an eyeFi card in your camera – I'm sure it wont be long before eyeFi support the iPad.
- No expandable memory, microSD etc: If you are looking to add extra content to the iPad you are poo outta luck. But why do you need too? The iPad is on wifi – store your media, books, music on your main computer, then simply get what you want when you need it. You are not going to import photos from your camera to the iPad – no, you'll put them on your main computer and then sync only the good ones (the ones in focus) to your iPad. You are only going to store video media on here until you watch it. You won't store 50 movies on this, 3 or 4 maybe (if you are taking your iPad on a trip), so sync up the ones you want and be done with it. There isn't a need for memory card readers (& if you really want to, there is an adapter for it)
What is the primary target for the iPad?
Okay, so I've said many times above that most of the complaints against the iPad are coming from the current iPhone generation. We are having "well knowing" 16 year old kids – the future of technology – calling the iPad an iFail. Seriously? What does a 16 year old know?
A 16 year old has vastly different needs than the average iPad user. The 16 year needs a netbook, or laptop and an iPhone. They want to be connected, they want to take photos and share them instantly, they want to interact and they want to control what they install on their device. This is not what the iPad is for.
Let be give you an example of where I think the *almost* perfect situation for the iPad is. (biased to my situation of course). Here at home we have 1 computer, its an iMac, we have an old 21″ CRT tv and I have an iPhone. Our iMac happens to be running an eyeTV USB adapter to become our primary TV. My wife is a book NUT & had been considering the Nook (the fact that is not out in NZ is beside the point).
Often in the evenings, we want to relax and watch some TV, while doing that it's sometimes nice to check email from family, update the family blog, read up on the newspapers & tech blogs, maybe do a bit of Twitter and Facebook – casual internet. But of course when the TV is on the iMac (we hardly use the old CRT one) it's hard to multi task and do email. An iPad would fit nicely on our wifi network and allow us to casually surf the net. We coud find recipes and save them, my wife could book mark craft ideas to do with our 2 year old and we could order movie rentals etc for the weekend.
Of course we love to read books (my wife more than me) so for her to have at her finger tips hundreds of thousands of books – is awesome.
My wife is not a great gadget freak – she's your typical mum. Happy with what ever mobile phone she has (can it place calls and get SMS?), she loves our iMac, but hates the fact it cost so much (Apple prices in NZ are not cheap!). This is the FIRST device she's looked at, and within 60 seconds she was "You mean you could get rid of all this (pointed at the book shelf) and I could have that? And do email?"
If I had the cash, it'd be the ONE gadget I could now go and buy with her blessing, without having to "explain" to her why we need it. (we don't have the cash, and it's a luxury so we won't – but you get the idea)
The iPad isn't intended to be a kill all to the kindle, nook and Netbooks of the world. It's meant to be a complimentary connectivity and media device. It compliments the other digital devices in your life. It brings the power of the internet into a simplified device.
You want to make phone calls – use your mobile phone
You want to do skype chats & video chats – use your computer
You want to stream media to your TV – use your media center
You want to do video scrubbing, audio production – use your media suite
You want to casually surf the web, read the paper with a coffee, flip through a magazine, update your email, check your your new niece on facebook, send out a tweet and read a book – use your iPad
The iPad is not revolutionary, it's just a hunk of metal & glass
BUT it does it's job and it does it well.

Back when the Internet Marketing community first started to discover the potential of the Kindle, many of the early adopters figured out that you could produce tons of recipe books by basically "copying and pasting" ingredients and recipes from major recipe sites, then re-writing the instructions in your own words.
(Even now, you'll find some less-than-honest Kindle guides recommending this method.)
Some people made a killing doing this for a little while...but Amazon and Kindle Readers caught on that there was NO REAL VALUE in these recipe books.
After all, the recipes are the same ones you can get online...for free. Who would want to pay for that?
It should come as no surprise - that method doesn't work anymore.
Amazon cracked down and removed a lot of these books, and even banned a lot of accounts in the process. That sent a lot of the less-motivated marketers running scared, tail between the legs, telling everyone else to STAY AWAY from the cooking and recipes niche.
Even though it's a BILLION DOLLAR MARKET, there are only 13,882 cooking and recipe books on the Kindle Marketplace (which means there's LOTS of unfulfilled buyer demand...)

Fellow warrior,
Sometimes the best ideas happen by accident…
I needed to set an appointment with my doctor a few weeks ago but couldn't remember his number, so like any good patient I went on his website hoping I could schedule my appointment there or at least find a number to call.
It took me 15 minutes to find their phone number on their 'fancy but clearly useless' website! He had an auto-responder email form on his home page, but to actually make the appointment I had to click on the tiny 'contact us' link at the very bottom of the page to get their office number.

A webinar is an online conference that is used for live meetings, live training, and live sales presentations.
I know you've heard of webinars and chances are that you've attended a few. If you think for one second that you too can't benefit from webinars, then you need to listen up.

Flaky Cream Cheese Pastry Dough
This recipe is for my friend Erin....I know you've been waiting patiently! This is a little bit of work but it is the best crust I have ever had! It makes even a crappy pie taste decadent! You can double the recipe if you need a top and bottom crust. Every time I make apple pie this is the crust I make.
Whisk together throughly in a large bowl:
1 Cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar or 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cut into 1/4 inc pieces and add:
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter
3 oz cold cream cheese
Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter and cream cheese into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some peas-sized pieces. Drizzle of the top:
2-3 tablespoons Cold Heavy Cream
Cut with the blade side of a rubber spatula or stir with a fork until the dough begins to gather into moist clumps. Press the doughn into a flat disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refridgerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
This recipe and illustration is from "The Joy of Cooking"

Breathing requires the coordinated use of several muscles, primarily the large diaphragm muscle. The diaphragm is considered one of the core muscles as it plays important functions in low back stability as well as neck and shoulder mobility. When you breath improperly using your chest, you neglect the diaphragm muscle thousands of times per day. As you can imagine, using any muscle the wrong way will cause a problem, but the wrong way - 20,000 times...that may be a serious issue!
How can someone be breathing improperly?
People who are not using their diaphragm are often using accessory muscles- pecs and scalene muscles- around the neck to breath. Clinically this can translate into neck and shoulder pain. When breathing, 90% of the movement should come from your abdomen and only 10% from the upper chest. Watch the video below to see if you are a chest or belly breather.

Many people today are looking to make more money. Having more than one form of income helps balance the budget. A lot of people find that multi-level marketing makes extra income accessible. If you understand the concept, you can also take advantage of a great opportunity. Continue reading to get the necessary information about how this lucrative business works.
Work on keeping MLM largely separate from your relationships with friends and family. You can share with them as you begin. Just try to avoid pushing too hard and too quickly into your inner circle to build your customer base. You do not want to appear overzealous and isolate yourself from people.
When you start with multilevel marketing at first, be sure you're listening to what others say to you carefully. There is a community of support out there, and you should immerse yourself in it. This means that one persons success can lead to the greater things for everyone. Because of this, you can trust that the other people in the group. This is beneficial for everyone.
Set daily goals. You are the boss in MLM. You have to hold yourself responsible to build your business. That all starts when you create actionable goals. Write new ones each day, and make sure you stick with them. This needs to be a daily habit, if you are to succeed.
When thinking through what multi-level marketing opportunities are out there, look at the services or products you're going to offer to customers. Do not just focus on the bottom line. What benefits do buying them provide? Is it likely that customers would come back time and time again?
Test the products you're thinking of marketing. This will help you avoid trying to sell a low quality product. You need to move to a different type of product if this should happen. Even if you're getting paid well by a company, you will have your career being at risk if you market products that aren't of good quality.
Timing and momentum are important in any MLM opportunity. Where is a company at the current moment? What's the internal atmosphere like? Look for important statistics, such as the growth rate, before making a serious commitment. There is no point in investing in something which is bound to fail.
Be creative when it comes to sharing things about your business. Come up with a number of great ways to let others know what your business is about. Then incorporate each of these ideas to specific parts of your business. This can help you reach many different people without annoying everyone.
Set up a how-to site to promote your MLM business. This will help you to increase traffic. Anybody looking to purchase something might stay a bit longer at your website when you try this technique. This technique will not only improve website traffic, but will also increase your network over time. You may also gain ad money.
In order to save yourself some time and energy in your marketing efforts, consider hosting an event specifically for that purpose. This will save you time. Doing a little something a few times a month will help get the word out about what you are doing.
Consult an accountant before jumping into multi-level marketing. An accountant can be an invaluable resource in this line of work. An accountant will be able to advise you on the things that can be tax write-offs, so you know what is a good thing to invest in. Also figure out how you should handle taxes. While your personal taxes might be an annual thing, you might be facing quarterly filings now professionally.
Tell your recruits to attend live events that may be beneficial. These events serve an important purpose. You get to network with others, as well as discover and share information so that everyone succeeds.
Before choosing a MLM company, carefully compare the different compensation packages. These can be quite different depending on which types of programs are chosen. By figuring out how much money you can earn, you will know whether or not you're spending your time wisely.
Pay attention to your calls to action. This will help you to form your emails. Also, if you ask the recipients to do certain things for you, then you're going to increase you chances that the person will do what you want. Emails that aren't focused won't have a good chance of getting you some good results.
Developing a budget and sticking to it is sound business advice no matter what form that business takes. Knowing how much you have to spend at all times is key to success in business. It also makes you evaluate your business on a regular basis.
Giving tutorials that you're an expert in is great for boosting your number of site visitors. Ever popular how-to articles make it more likely that potential customers spend time visiting your site. While there, they may peruse your website and possibly even buy something.
Any MLM program that says you will earn absurd amounts of money is probably too good to be true. There is a lot of dedication that is required in multi-level marketing. You may not see a profit for quite some time. Any program that says otherwise is not telling you the truth.
It is crucial that you select a good MLM business opportunity. There are so many MLM programs, and some are not the right thing for you. You need to assess your own level of interest and admiration of the company. When you feel strongly about something, your enthusiasm will show to others.
Selling is greatly assisted by creativity. People experience advertising daily. This will help you to become more visible. Make every presentation come to life and stand out against the competition.
Now that you've perused this article, put the information to work to help you build a multilevel marketing organization. This can bring money in sooner than you think! Down the road, it is possible that you will have an additional income that will help you pay your bills.

I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around this...how he can be 6?!?!?! My teeny tiny first born...WOW! Happy Birthday bubby - We love you so much!!
Very excited about his new electric scooter!
His choice for birthday breakfast was pancakes at McDonald's!
Birthday Party with the neighbors! This also counts as Park #3 in our summer tour :) Sunrise Park!
The crew!
and a pic with Sally who got there a little late - we were so happy they could join us since they had just gotten home from Chicago! Miss Sally will always hold a special place in our hearts - because she was the first baby in the NICU that I focused on when Braden was born. At that time she was 7 weeks old and doing pretty well and I saw HOPE when I looked at her! And then her mommy and I started talking and it was all history from there :)
