Photo Credit: Getty Images / Patrick Smith By ERIK BOLAND firstname.lastname@example.com @eboland11 May 19, 2015 10:58 PM Print Share fbShare Tweet Email WASHINGTON - Nothing good came of Tuesday night for the Yankees. Short term there was the disheartening 8-6 walk-off loss to the Nationals in front of 37,355 at Nationals Park, the Bombers' sixth loss on a nine-game trip. And long term, though it wasn't immediately clear, there might have been a bigger loss, that of centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, who left the game with what the Yankees called a "right knee injury." The Nationals won it in the 10th on Ryan Zimmerman's two-out, two-run homer off Andrew Miller. Miller, who took over for Dellin Betances, walked Yunel Escobar with one out. Miller struck out Bryce Harper, but grooved a 3-and-1 pitch that Zimmerman smacked off the rightfield foul pole for the game-winner. They were the first runs allowed by Miller this season. Meanwhile, a Yankees' offense that came in having totaled 11 runs in their last six games, produced some of the big hits missing much of last week. They knocked out Gio Gonzalez, who retired the first nine batters he faced, after five innings. The Yankees actually led 6-2, after Mark Teixeira's two-run homer in the fifth, but Nathan Eovaldi and the bullpen couldn't hold it. Eovaldi, who allowed first-inning homers to Ian Desmond and the scorching Harper -- the blast gave him 10 homers in his last 12 games and 15 overall -- was gone after 41/3 innings having allowed five runs and seven hits. David Carpenter's struggles continued as he gave up Wilson Ramos' solo homer in the sixth that tied it at 6. Harper, who entered Tuesday night leading the National League in home runs, RBIs (37), walks (36), runs (36) and OPS (1.206) and was 22-for-39 with a 1.385 slugging percentage in his previous 11 games, went 1-for-4 with a walk. But he failed to come through twice in big spots. The first came in the three-run fifth when lefty Justin Wilson, with two on, induced an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play. In the seventh, with runners at first and second and two outs, lefthander Chase Shreve, a former college teammate of Harper's, struck him out. Gonzalez was perfect through three, needing just 30 pitches, but lost his command in the fourth, leading to a four-run inning. Ellsbury led off with a walk and went to second on Brett Gardner's fielder's choice. Before Chris Young stepped in, Joe Girardi and trainer Mark Littlefield visited Ellsbury, who pointed to his right leg. He stayed in the game, scoring on Young's single, the Yankees' first hit, which made it 2-1. Teixeira drew a walk and, after Brian McCann grounded into a force play, putting runners at the corners with two outs, Chase Headley ripped a double into the corner in left to tie it at 2. After Jose Pirela reached on an infield single to load the bases, Stephen Drew lined a 1-and-2 fastball to center for a two-run single that made it 4-2. Ellsbury was replaced in the bottom half of the inning. Young shifted from right to center and Carlos Beltran entered the game in right. Teixeira's two-run blast in the fifth gave him a team-best 12 homers and 30 RBIs. By ERIK BOLAND email@example.com @eboland11 Erik Boland started in Newsday's sports department in 2002.

Back in 2003, the Baylor Bears were perpetually amongst the worst teams in America. They ran into the title-contending Oklahoma Sooners in Norman in November, and they were 54.5-point underdogs, the biggest point spread ever recorded in a power conference game. Baylor covered that day in spite of the laughable final score of 41-3.
Now, the Bears are in as bad of shape as they have been since that low point, while Oklahoma is back on the National Championship trail. Fortunately, this spread won't be 54.5, but it isn't exactly short at Oklahoma -25.5 either.
Oklahoma Sooners vs. Baylor Bears Date and Time: Saturday, September 23, 2017, 6:30 p.m. ETLocation: McLane Stadium, Waco, TXOpening College Football Odds: Oklahoma -25.5Oklahoma vs. Baylor TV Coverage: FOX Sports 1
There's not much good to say about Baylor right now. The Bears are 0-3, complete with losses to Liberty, UTSA and Duke, the latter of which came as double digit underdogs. When you're a double digit dog to Duke three games into the season and you're a power conference team, you know that things are going wrong.
Are the Bears going to win a game this year after getting a bagel in non-conference play? We're sure they will at some point, but this surely isn't the game where anything is going to change.
Oklahoma had its moments when it seemingly toyed with Tulane. Into the third quarter, this was still a competitive game, though in the end, the Sooners put things away with gusto, 56-14.
Baker Mayfield continues to be one of the best quarterbacks in America this year. He's got 10 touchdown passes and no picks in his 82 pass attempts. Just the mere fact that he's only needed to throw the ball 82 times in three games is remarkable.
The Sooners have a glut of talent all over the field, but much of that is still really raw. Getting this season with Mayfield under center is only going to really help out guys like running back Abdul Adams (166 yards) and the team's leading receiver, tight end Mark Andrews (13 catches, 233 yards).
Injury Report
It's still really early in the week to determine if Anu Solomon is going to be able to play in this one or not. The Bears' quarterback suffered a concussion against UTSA and sat out the Duke game, and that left way for Zach Smith to call the shots.
Smith has been less than stellar, to say the least. He's just 13-for-36 for 279 yards this year with three touchdowns and four interceptions. That woeful 36.1 percent completion percentage is just begging to put Baylor in a position to get slaughtered by Oklahoma's defense.
We're not asking Baylor to have a chance in this game, but to cover this spread, some quarterback is going to have to complete half of his passes and take some pressure off of John Lovett and this running game.
Oklahoma vs. Baylor Free Picks
There really isn't any justification to bet on Baylor right now, but we feel like we have to do it. This is still a conference game, and it's still a road game for Oklahoma. The Sooners can name the final score of this one if they want, but even then, there's still a sense that this offense has to come down to Earth at some point, while Baylor needs to do something against somebody of note.
Matt Rhule is a much better coach than this, but we know that he inherited a mess that Art Briles left behind. The Bears are bad, and they certainly lack a lot of talent. But especially if Solomon is able to get back in the fold, we suspect they're going to at least put a couple scores on the board, and that will be enough to get all of the best online sportsbooks paying you off.

8. Living a Wonderful Life
If a Hollywood producer wanted to film the story of your life, would it be an Oscar-winning epic or a direct-to-on-demand cure for insomnia?
How well has your life been going so far? Have you been living your life to the fullest and making good use of your enormous potential? Or, have you been letting other people write your story for you, telling you what you can and cannot do, what your personality is like, and what is good enough for you?
You know, your life could be a glorious thing – the kind of story Hollywood producers would love to film or novelists would love to write about. Because the truth is that living an exciting, challenging, satisfying life is not something that is reserved for people who have a special something in their genetic makeup, who are especially smart or good looking, or who were raised by wealthy parents who gave them every advantage.
Whether or not to live a wonderful life is a choice all of us must make at some point. It is also a commitment to grow into that choice – to make yourself into a star or a hero, no matter where you are starting from, no matter how long it takes, and no matter what you need to learn to do it.
By the way, being a star doesn't necessarily mean being in a Hollywood movie, and to be a hero you don't have to break a record or save someone's life. But you do need to have the courage and determination to discover your own special talents and gifts, and then persist in making the most of them. ~ The Pacific Institute

Challenges of Electronic Data Collection in the Ebola Treatment Unit
I'm currently in Lunsar, Sierra Leone (about 90 minutes drive from Freetown, the capital), at the new Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) being run by the International Medical Corps (IMC). I've been brought in for 6 weeks primarily as a clinical doctor to treat Ebola patients, and also to look at how Magpi might help in collecting and coordinating the information that is essential to the running of the ETU. I'm in my initial training right now to use the PPE (personal protective equipment) before being able to enter the "high risk area" where the Ebola patients are being cared for, so I've been focused on looking at the data system aspect, thinking of how we could use Magpi for Ebola.
Right now, unfortunately, the data system is very cumbersome, and collection is entirely paper-based. As one example, if a patient is diagnosed at a local hospital, the hospital fills out a paper form with patient details. Then an ambulance is dispatched to transport the patient. The hospital staff verbally sign out to the nurse in the ambulance, who fills out a similar form with similar information, then on arrival at the ETU he or she verbally signs this information over to the ETU staff, who fill out yet a third similar form with similar information. Collecting data on a mobile device would eliminate so much of this hassle and would allow much better analysis of the information.
The ETU forms are collected daily and provided to the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) team here, who type it into a computer in order to generate the required reports and analysis.
Which is to say that nearly the same information is written down three times on three different forms, and then typed once into a computer. Partly this is because the paper forms, potentially contaminated with Ebola virus, cannot be physically passed from one area to the next. Clearly there's an opportunity to use a tool like Magpi to reduce or eliminate this quadruple data entry, and transmit the data wirelessly. I've started working with IMC staff to prototype electronic versions of this triage/transport/intake form.
Some of the challenges include the difficulty of working with touchscreens with multiple sets of gloves on (but I've tested an iPad and Android phone while in full PPE and it worked well), as well as with goggles that very frequently fog up — which could require bigger on-screen text, buttons, etc.
Of course, the intake form is not the only paper form being used which could be converted to an electronic version and deployed on tablets or phones: contact tracing, logistics, lab reporting and many other such forms are in use. I'll be updating this blog as I help IMC to look at this, and also as I continue my training and begin to treat patients.

Two competing budget plans released earlier this week aim to reduce the country's ballooning budget deficit. One of the plans proposes a one-cent per ounce tax on all beverages sweetened with sugar or high fructose corn syrup, including flavored milks. IDFA continues to oppose all efforts to tax flavored milks or any other dairy products.
The Bipartisan Policy Center, a 19-member task force chaired by former Federal Reserve Chairman Alice Rivlin and former Republican Senator Pete Domenici, released its long-term plan to get the nation's economy in order and bring the federal budget into balance. It is similar to another draft proposal released this week by former Republican Senator Alan Simpson and Democrat Erskine Bowles, who were appointed by President Obama to lead the commission charged with making recommendations on the budget before the end of the year. The plans take aim at the country's budget deficits, which over the past few years have propelled the United States debt to more than $14 trillion.
The Bipartisan Policy Center plan, unlike the Simpson-Bowles draft, proposes a federal excise tax on the manufacture or importation of beverages sweetened with sugar or high fructose corn syrup. The tax would raise approximately $260 billion between 2012 and 2025. The plan asserts that the excise tax would reduce a significant but unspecified amount of federal spending on health care by reducing health problems associated with obesity, such as heart diseases, diabetes, strokes and cancer. The tax would be one cent per ounce, indexed to inflation after 2018, on sweetened beverages, including flavored milks.
"The recent elections sent a message that Congress needs to get our financial house in order," said Jerry Slominski, IDFA senior vice president of legislative affairs and economic policy. "Both of these serious blueprints prove that doing so is going to be extremely difficult with both spending cuts and tax increases on the table."
Imposing an excise tax on sweetened beverages was briefly considered, but ultimately rejected, as a possible way to help pay for the recently passed health care reform bill. Several states also have considered such taxes. IDFA opposes efforts to tax flavored milks and other dairy products and has worked to defeat the previous federal and state proposals.
Read a comparison of the two proposals here.

LMC Mass Distribution Model
Mass Distribution is what most would consider the traditional model of corporate training. It involves providing information in the most cost-effective way possible, which usually means the broadcasting of identical content to the entire workforce, no matter their department, unit, or position. Because the content must be relevant to so many, it tends to be broad, generalized information, without delving too deeply into specifics. Examples might include courses on time management or emergency preparedness, something just about all employees would benefit from.
To address accessibility concerns, the technology requirements of Mass Distribution learning will often be low, for instance, simple eLearning courses or product specification documents for multiple job roles and functions. In all cases, the company is at the center of the process, deciding what content to produce and how to distribute it.
To operate in this model, organizations need broad knowledge, broad design, and broad distribution. Instructional designers must be able to find the commonalities between high-level learning categories applicable to and understood by all employees (regardless of job function). In addition, the material must be developed to be delivered within the constraints of lower technology requirements.
The model is also dependent on the amount of time needed for preparation. Because such a broad base of knowledge needs to be boiled down to wide-ranging material, designers will require extensive time prior to execution. Just because content isn't deep doesn't mean it can be delivered without planning.
Connection to the Learning Revolution
Mass Distribution is the most conventional learning model and one that is being upended by the learning revolution I've been describing. Mass Distribution continues to be "cost effective," but how much value is it still providing when so much of its primary product – knowledge – is conveniently available to employees outside of the company's programs?
In the Learning Revolution blog I outlined the general shift in control from the company to the learner, and this is especially true for businesses in the Mass Distribution model. People are owning more of the knowledge and also have more control over the speed of that knowledge. L&D departments operating in the Mass Distribution model no longer set their own pace for information dissemination, and will eventually be positioned only to play catch-up with the workforce's needs. The speed of business has motivated learning leaders to provide content faster (as in the Performance Support model), or focus more on skills development, which would suggest the learning models I'm covering over the next few weeks.
Questions to Qualify if Operating in a Mass Distribution Model
If your L&D department is asking these questions or you recognize your organization's activities following the Mass Distribution model, the time may be quickly approaching to transition to a more workable structure in the new learning environment.
Next I'll be looking at the Partnership model of learning. Keep following along as I cover more learning models, as well as transitional strategies to move your L&D organization in the right direction.
Even if you aren't in a Mass Distribution learning model, your organizations should still commit some time and resources to information dissemination. But rather than trying to provide all the information to everyone at all times, put yourself in the shoes of someone trying to find the information. Consider what kind of information they aren't getting or can't get from external sources, then concentrate your resources there.

Pecan Tree Information
Pecan trees are native to The U.S.A. and Mexico and grow mostly in Georgia as well as expands in Florida to Illinois, also to the west of Texas. Pecan trees are rather big, a fully grown pecan tree can mature to 40 m tall with a spread of 12– 20 m. If you've big yard you could grow pecan trees as they are not suitable for small backyards or yard. These trees are the resource of numerous medium-sized pecans that are eaten fresh or made use of to create pleasant treats as well as sweets, including pecan pie, caramel-pecan tarts, pecan pie, pecan pralines and also several others.
Planting Pecan Trees
- Before growing remove all the dead as well as entangled roots and also trim off 1/2 part of the plant. This will encourage the vigorous growth and also healthy roots.
- Space candy pecan no more detailed compared to 40 feet (if planting in a yard). For growing pecan trees in orchard, an ideal range is 40– 50 feet.
- Grow a minimum of 2 pecan trees to make certain that the majority of flowers produce nuts. Although self-pollination in candy pecan is possible, however it is preferred that at least 2 or three trees are planted close by for maximum nut manufacturing.
- For planting pecan tree, dig a hole at the very least 2 feet large and 2 feet deep as pecan trees have extensive origin system. Load the hole with well-drained soil. Pecan trees can typically be grown conveniently and successfully in a selection of dirt types, other than the dirt which drains improperly.
Requirements for Expanding Pecan Trees
Location should be sunny as well as open as pecan tree spreads out a lot as well as expand taller.
Expanding pecan trees is feasible in range of soil types, however, for maximum development dirt must be well drained pipes, deep as well as abundant in organic matter with pH degree somewhat acidic to neutral.
Pecan tree grows in slightly moist soil. Normal and deep watering is important for expanding pecan trees. In first 3 years water deeply, when a week (prevent during rain), decrease watering in winter months. Throughout fruit manufacturing watering ought to be increased.
Pecan Tree Care
In the springtime fertilize it with garden compost or ranch manure, likewise apply plant food that is rich in potassium and also phosphorus around the tree, 5-10-15 is suitable. After very first year of growing, apply balanced fertilizer in spring and in summertime use zinc sulphate, which is necessary for healthy growth and also production of pecan trees.
Mulching is essential for pecan trees as they need evenly wet dirt, mulching likewise lowers the affordable weeds.
A grafted tree begin to produce fruit in 3 to 4 years after growing. It is an alternating fruit bearing tree, it means it bears heavy fruit one year and light in the following year. Pecan trees flourish in autumn and also prepare to collect when the husk loose its green color and also start to divide.
Pecan Tree Illness as well as Parasites
Fine-grained mildew, microbial fallen leave blister, scab, anthracnose as well as kernel rot are common pecan tree illness. Pecan nut casebearer, aphids and pecan weevil are the pests that attacks it. For illness, pecan tree ought to be treated with fungicides. Consistent keep an eye out for pests like aphids and also their removal using proper pesticide is also crucial. Whereas, weevils can be controlled by catches.
Tips On Growing Pecan Trees
Pecan trees are belonging to the USA, where they flourish in Southern locations with lengthy expanding seasons. Just one tree will certainly generate lots of nuts for a big household as well as give deep shade that will certainly make hot, southerly summer seasons a little bit much more bearable. Nonetheless, expanding pecan trees in tiny lawns isn't really sensible since the trees are huge and also there are no dwarf varieties. A mature pecan tree stands concerning 150 feet high with a dispersing canopy.
Pecan Planting Overview: Location as well as Preparation
Plant the tree in a place with soil that drains pipes openly to a deepness of 5 feet. Expanding pecan trees have a long taproot that is at risk to condition if the dirt is soaked. Hilltops are perfect. Room the trees 60 to 80 feet apart and also well away from frameworks as well as high-voltage line.
Trimming the tree and also the roots prior to growing will urge solid development and also make pecan tree care a lot easier. Cut off the leading one-third to one-half of the tree and also all of the side branches to allow strong origins to create before they have to sustain leading development. Do not permit side branches any type of lower than 5 feet from the ground. This makes it less complicated to maintain the lawn or ground cover under the tree as well as protects against low-hanging branches from becoming obstructions.
Bare root trees that feel dry and brittle should be soaked in a pail of water for numerous hours prior to growing. The taproot of a container grown pecan tree needs unique interest prior to planting. The long taproot usually grows in a circle around all-time low of the pot, and it should be straightened out before the tree is grown. If this isn't really possible, cut off the reduced component of the taproot. Remove all harmed and also broken roots.

For fully grown trees, soil dampness identifies the number, dimension and fullness of nuts in addition to the quantity of brand-new development. Water frequently adequate to maintain the dirt equally wet from the time the buds begin to swell up until harvest. Cover the root zone with 2 to 4 inches of compost to slow down water evaporation.
In springtime of the year after the tree was planted, spread out a pound of 5-10-15 fertilizer over a 25 square foot area around the tree, beginning 1 foot from the trunk. The second and 3rd year after planting, utilize 10-10-10 fertilizer similarly in late winter season or very early springtime as well as once again in late spring. When the tree begins to bear nuts, use 4 extra pounds of 10-10-10 plant food for each and every inch of trunk diameter.
Zinc is important for pecan tree advancement and also nut production. Utilize an extra pound of zinc sulfate each year for young trees and also 3 extra pounds for nut-bearing trees.

What Causes Head-On Collisions?
These types of accidents are usually the result of negligence. Drunk drivers can sometimes drive on the wrong side of the road, which puts them and others at high risk of head-on collisions. They can also be caused by distracted drivers, fatigued drivers, and by brake failure. Head-on accidents can also be caused by undivided, two-lane roads.
Injuries Caused by Head-On Collisions
Some of the most common injuries caused by head-on crashes include the following:
- Head injuries
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Contusions
- Whiplash
- Concussion
- Airbag injuries
- Neck trauma
- Back trauma
- Dental damage
- Internal organ injuries
The type of injury will depend on what types of safety features were in use in the vehicle. A person who was not using a seatbelt is more likely to have sustained more severe injuries than a person who was. Likewise, airbags also tend to be dangerous to smaller individuals, such as children.

Laura Allen
Laura grew up in a family that was always keen to move to new countries and explore different parts of the world. Unsurprisingly, this rubbed off on her, and she takes great delight in travelling and learning about other cultures.
She is also one of the few people that have been lucky enough to end up in the career they planned as a child; when she was about eight she decided that she wanted to be a conservation biologist and work in tropical rainforests, so is grateful that she has been able to do that. She is fascinated by the diversity and complexity of ecosystems, and finds it so exciting that we still know relatively little about tropical forests.
She studied Zoology at the University of Glasgow then, after a few years away, returned to complete an MSc in quantitative methods in biodiversity and conservation. She first worked with crees Foundation as a field assistant in 2012 and is now very pleased to be returning, this time as a PhD student.
She will be conducting research into developing biodiversity indicators of the value and ecosystem health of regenerating rainforest, as well as helping to coordinate research plans, develop new project ideas and support visiting researchers.

EXOTIC animals will be making their debut at an annual fair in Bognor Regis.
The reptiles and meerkats will among the species in the petting zoo with a difference at the Hotham Park Country Fair.
This is taking place for the 14th time in the popular open space from 11am-5pm both days this weekend.
Organised by the Hotham Park Heritage Trust volunteers, the free to enter fair continues its tradition of offering a range of attractions for all ages and crafts and food.
Rosemary Warren, the trust's chairman, said: "The fair is successful because the pitch holders who take part love the park and its atmosphere. They also like the fact it's not a really big park.
"The visitors love the wide range of attractions and we try to include something different each year. The exotic animals are this year's newcomers.
"There is something for everyone to enjoy and there is live entertainment throughout both days on the bandstand and for children."
The bandstand performances on the first day will see Peter Pan panto stars from the Regis Centre appear along with the Knightstar children's musical theatre group, award-winning Elvis impersonator Ben Thompson, and The Wonder Girls and Boys dance troupe.
The second day will feature 70s band The Triumphs, BROS cabaret and Funky Junction, a colourful funky band.
Children's entertainment will be available both days in The Mary Macfie Pavilion, north of the park's railway station, with Crazee Hazee with Punch and Judy Shows at 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
They can also ride on the teacups or chairplanes, roll in a Zorb, have their face painted and join in the games and messy play.
Equestrian displays by The Bolingbroke Stud will take place in the showground, close to the park cafe. Big and Little piebald horses will be on display at midday and 2.45pm on Saturday. The same times on Sunday will see an Andulasian riding display.
This year's fair is backed by Richmond Hyundai.

Anarch established in 2012 as an independent commissioning space. After a successful year in residence in Deptford, anarch is roaming and locating interesting spaces to provide an alternative platform for new commissions, a place that encourages collaboration, risk taking, discussion and realisation of new ideas that might otherwise be on the periphery.
Anarch's approach (and name) takes influence from Anarchitecture, an evolving concept by Gordon Matta Clark and his peers, who actively expressed their frustrations with architecture, society and culture in 1970's downtown NYC. The collective approach of these artists and their urgent but playful attitude to change are relevant concerns that Anarch still wishes to explore with the commissioned artists.
Anarch is led by curator and collaborator, Jude Bennett, with the aim of taking an open and supportive approach with emerging and established artists.

Glucose Administration Attenuates Hypothermia-induced Retrograde Amnesia in Rats in a Time- and Dose-dependent Manner
Publication Title
Publication Date
Document Type
glucose. hypothermia-induced retrograde amnesia, time-dependent, dose-dependent
It is well established that posttraining administrations of glucose enhance memory in a time- and dose-dependent manner. More recently, glucose has also been found to attenuate scopolamine-induced anterograde amnesia, displaying the same time- and dose-response characteristics (Stone et al., 1988). In the present study, the use of glucose as an agent for alleviation of hypothermia-induced retrograde amnesia was examined. In each experiment, animals were given a single trial of passive avoidance conditioning. Retrograde amnesia was induced through hypothermia immediately following training. All injections were given immediately following hypothermia treatment, and tests for fear retention were administered 24 h following training. In Experiment 1, the dose-response effects of glucose (10, 100, or 400 mg/kg) were examined; in Experiment 2, the time-dependent effect of 100 mg/kg of glucose administered immediately, 1, or 2 h after hypothermia was examined. The results show that glucose injections attenuate retrograde amnesia in both a dose- and time-dependent manner. These results coincide with the growing body of evidence supporting the memory-modulating effects of glucose.

What is homeopathy?
"Homeopathy cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment and is beyond all doubt, safer, more economical, and the most complete medical science" Mahatma Gandhi
Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing that uses very dilute doses of carefully prepared medicines that are tested on healthy consenting adults. This principle of 'minimum dose' makes remedies safe, while the process of succession and potentisation means they retain their effectiveness, despite being highly dilute.
It is based on the principles of 'like cures like': illnesses are treated remedies that, in homeopathic clinical trials, have been found to produce similar symptoms in healthy people. For example, coffee is widely used as a stimulant, but in homeopathic form it can help with some forms of insomnia.
A Safe and Effective Healthcare Option
Homeopathy has an enviable safety record. Remedies are non-toxic and carry no risk of harmful side effects or addiction.
Homeopathy is therefore ideal for pregnant women, children and babies.
It is more than a placebo, as can be seen by it's success with plants, infants, animals and cells in petri dishes.
"Homoeopathy is a highly developed health practice that uses a systematic approach to the totality of a person's health. Anyone seeking a fuller understanding of health and healing will find Homoeopathy extremely important and applicable."
Some facts about homeopathy:
Homeopathy has been recognised by World Health Organisation as the fastest growing and second most widely used system of medicine in the world (World Health Report, WHO Global Atlas of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Map Volume, 2005).
Homeopathy has a validated principle of prescribing, and with over 200 years of treatment and prophylactic use, its remedies are no longer considered 'experimental'. In 2005, the World Health Organization estimated that there are more than half a billion users of homeopathy worldwide, with over 30 million users in Europe.
Homeoapthy is over 200 years old, was introduced to the U.K. by Dr Quin in 1828, is sanctioned by the UK Government and the Royal Family, and has been an integral part of the National Health Service (NHS) since it was founded in 1948.
In 2000, the House of Lords published a report on Complementary and Alternative Therapies, in which homeopathy is considered as one of five 'group one' therapies (out of thirty examined) judged to have convincing research evidence of effectiveness that should be more widely available on the NHS.
In 2006, a Health Technology Assessment report on Effectiveness, Cost-effectiveness and Appropriateness of Homeopathy was compiled on behalf of the Swiss Federal Office for Public Health (BAG). Published in English in 2011, it represents the most comprehensive evaluation of homeopathy ever written and affirms that homeopathic treatment is safe, effective and cost-effective, and that homeopathic treatment is justified to be reimbursed by Switzerland's national health insurance program.
Users of homeopathy include: NASA Scientist Amy Lansky, Florence Nightingdale and Charles Darwin (who's experiments with plants proved homeopathic effects).
What's the difference between Herbal Medicine,
Homeopathy and Pharmaceutical Medicine?
Whilst herbal remedies tend to use plants or minerals in material doses, allopathy (pharmaceutical medicine) uses synthesized and highly concentrated doses of active ingredients often first found in nature. Homeopathy, on the other hand, uses highly diluted and succussed doses of natural substances. It is this dilution that makes it safer than allopathy and herbalism, and the succussion that allows it to still contain effective nanostructures. This 'minimum dose' concept is one of the key principles of homeopathy. For more research evidence on high dilutions, please see the articles here.
"There have been two great revelations in my life:
The first was bebop, the second was homeopathy."

Winters springs into action with triple shoot-out save as Bels book semi-final spot
Stamford Bels booked their place in the semi-finals of the PFA Challenge Cup after a thrilling penalty shoot-out victory on Saturday.
Goalkeeper George Winters made three outstanding saves in the shoot-out as Bels defeated Division Two high-flyers Bretton North End 3-2 on spot kicks after the match had finished 1-1 after 90 minutes.
Manager Lewis Morley was full of praise for his side after beating a top-class Bretton team that included prolific United Counties League marksman Jamie Graham who was superbly shackled by Tyler Sculthorpe.
Morley said: "It was a brilliant game. The lads battled hard, they showed lots of determination and passion.
"The game should never have gone to penalties because we had plenty of opportunities which should have been taken in the game. But, if we keep making the chances, then the goals will come.
"Bretton were a good side and I believe they are too good for Division Two. They have a great team bond and some outstanding players.
"Tom Holland was new to our side and it was the first time he had played under me and he stood out by a mile. He was strong throughout and led very well.
"George Winters was superb. He commanded his area and individually won us the game in the end, but it was an all-round team performance. I'm looking forward to the semi-finals."
With Rhys Gilson unavailable due to a broken toe, Holland was the stand out performer throughout.
He ensured that Bels weren't going to back out of the fight when he put three crunching tackles in on the Bretton midfield in the first 10 minutes.
With 30 minutes gone it was an even game with half chances falling to both sides, but just before half-time both Joe McDonald and Lewis Archer had massive opportunities denied by the Bretton keeper.
After the break Bels once again came out fighting and broke the deadlock when some smart play from James Slack released Scott Toomey down the wing.
Toomey drove past the Bretton right back and then picked out Holland on the edge of the Bretton box and his first time strike rocketed into the top corner.
The woodwork then denied Bels a second when Toomey struck from range.
With minutes remaining, Winters made an incredible double save but all of Bels' good work was unravelled via a goalmouth scramble where Bretton tapped home to take the tie to penalties.
Using the new penalty system, Bels' Dave Atkinson stepped up first and drove his strike into the bottom left-hand corner.
Bretton now took two penalties with Winters making a brace of outstanding saves before Holland calmly slotted home his penalty to put Bels into a 2-0 lead.
Slack was next to step up, but he fired his strike over the bar. Bretton scored their third and fourth penalties to level the scores at 2-2.
Archer's cool penalty put Bels back into the lead before Toomey's was well saved by the Bretton keeper.
Bretton stepped up for their final penalty to try and take the tie into sudden death, but they were once again denied by Winters for his third incredible save.
Bels are now in the last four alongside FC Peterborough, Moulton Harrox Reserves and the winners of the Eye United versus Tydd St Mary clash.
They return to Peterborough League Division One action this weekend when they host table-topping Moulton Harrox Reserves.

27 Apr #OC17 – Opening Session, The Experience
Off To A Great Start!
OC17 opened last night and it did not disappoint. In true Orange fashion, the conference theme is woven through everything they do. The connections they make to the theme (including a hopscotch board for us to jump through as we exited registration) help drive home the big idea that if we are for Jesus, we need to be FOR OUR NEIGHBORS!
Mr. Rodger's helped kick off the conference as the opener of his show played on the screens. This iconic TV opener was accompanied by footage of neighborhoods from all over the world and a vocal mash-up of Mr. Rodger's "Won't You Be My Neighbor" and "Give a Little Bit" by Supertramp!
The graphics, projection screens, and lighting were amazing as always. The same neighborhood structure that greets you outside as you approach the arena, is on stage in front of the massive projection screens. It is used to create the most beautiful, colorful looking neighborhood in certain sequences, and project awesome video in others.
*My favorite part of the projection show – a little box on one of the "houses" projected on the screens that appeared as each speaker took the stage and said, "What is your go-to potluck meal?" That speaker's favorite potluck dish was listed as they came up on stage (Chicken Alfredo. Salad. I think Reggie Joiner's was Take-out!). It's a small detail, that packs a powerful punch. The theme is carried out in the most fun way and it allows you to connect "personally" to the speaker.
There was also an adorable setting off to the left that looked like a setting for a block party. A picnic table, place settings, string lights, and more enhanced the neighborhood theme on the stage but it also served as the illustration for Reggie Joiner's talk entitled "Sometimes It Takes A Party." As I saw in this morning's main session, it will also act as a platform for Reggie Joiner to interview various speakers throughout the main sessions.
The stage was lined with rope lighting and actually looked like neighborhood streets. The lighting, video on the projection screens, props, and of course amazing content from speakers and worship leaders all worked together to help us connect to this great challenge of being FOR OUR NEIGHBORS!
I think we are in for a great couple of days.

Psst Are you a brand, artist, shelter, or dog looking to get on Dogly?
Click Here:
It all started when we wanted to take our dog on a bike ride. We looked, bought, and threw away countless "popular" dog carriers that were on the market. They simply didn't work, let alone how we wanted them to work. So we designed the K9 Sport Sack.
We wanted it to be hands free, easy to get into, comfortable and most importantly, safe. After creating the first K9 Sport Sack with our sewing machine, it immediately gained tons of attention on the trails, at the store and wherever else we went. "Where did you get that?!" was the most common question, so we decided to make it an actual thing people could buy.
The K9 Sport Sack is now the worlds best dog carrier, and we couldn't be happier to see fellow dog owners doing new things with their dogs and bringing them to new places.

Me, the Bingerts and Gi Gi
at Poli Sci Awards Party (1994)
The Bingerts
My life at ISU was full of kindness, love, and happiness because of my host parents, Mr. Hans Bingert and Mrs. Lois Bingert. I can't even express in words how wonderful my host parents were. Mr. Bingert and I were like father and son as well as good buddies. My host mother loves cooking for us over the weekends and also took much trouble of driving us to other places for sight-seeing, like the Arch in St. Louis, Pearl City (where the Bingerts still have their family farm) and so on.
Sadly, my host father, Mr. Bingert, passed away last year when he was over 80 years old. My host mother, Lois Bingert, was at a senior citizens' home in Bloomington, Illinois. Her senses are still sharp but her memory took some toll because of the age. Of course, GiGi and I were two of their favorite kids.
| Betty Plummer
All of us in the scholarship group at ISU loved "Betty". She was the Director of International Studies Office at ISU. I always said that I have two mothers at ISU: Lois and Betty. Betty took extra care of us, who, according to her, were just plugged out the tropical jungle in SEA and thrown into the concrete jungle of America.
She is now happily retiring in Blooming, Illinois, with Dr. Plummer (her husband).
My Friends at ISU
Hi there, we had the most fun at ISU. Didn't we? Most of my friends are Asians and out of them, most are from Osaka, Japan. Kansankadai University in Osaka had a student exchange program with ISU at the time. So, my Japanese friends are mostly from Kansaikadai.
Please follow this link to see the Photo Album. I really miss Yumiko, Shuji and Chie, and Takashi (my roommate).
Accepting the award for Comparative Research Paper Category from Dr. Carlos Parodi.
(Dr. Parodi is liked by all of us. He is a wonderful guy, who can play Flamingo/Latino Guitar at expert level.)
Where is ISU?
Gee.. You might not even know our ISU because it is not an Ivy-League school. But I can assure that the school is a pleasant one and ideal for undergraduate studies.
It is located in Normal, Illinois, at the "heart of Illinois". The town is a mid-size city and has all the American amenities. Much, much better than that boring DeKalb. See the map below.
See the point where those 5 interstate highways meet?
That's where Normal, Illinois, is. Other than ISU, the town hosts the Headquarters of State Farm and the Diamond Star Auto Plant (Mitsubishi). So, all Eclipses and Galants come from Normal.

whodunit again...?
This time its india's turn, hehe!! How fast things can change, eh? What a series... Well, anyway the lesser said the better about the first day. India played like Pak did in their 2nd innings in the 1st test. Pathetic all around. There is this disease among all subcontinental teams. Apparently, they tend to assume that winning one match will give them the rest of the game. They place too much importance on their so called psychological advantage -- which in the turns out to be over confidence.
Well, either way India have their work cut out on the third day. If they are going to save this game they need to do something very fast. However, Pakistan is in the best position right now they must not lose any wickets and should play like they own this game. They should atleast put up 500 so they can defend a reasonable score for their second innings. This is the best time for them to do so. If they wait until the 4th innings of the game to win it they will be in trouble. Good luck Pak!! India's definitely on the back foot.

Now, double-Stout Shield doesn't completely stack. However, you get a 60% chance to block 20 of the damage that gets through the first 60% chance, meaning your net block chance is 84% to block 20 damage.
There's been some controversy about the usefulness of double-stout shield on Axe as early items. I did the math, and here's the result:
Summary of Double-Stout on Axe:Yes, double-stout IS actually quite effective for damage mitigation.
It's only once attack damage passes 60 per hit that the RoP + single shield option overtakes the double-Stout choice. Thus, for almost all camps and neutrals (except Rosh), you actually mitigate more damage by using two Stout shields.

My little nephew greeted the world at the end of November. I was a little more on the ball with his older sister and had her sweater done in time for her pre-arrival baby shower; despite this cardigan's speedy execution it wasn't done until he was more than a month old. My fault, of course, but it's just as well: he has to grow into it.
Pattern: One-Skein-Wonder Baby Sweater by Linda Burt, published in One-Skein Wonders: 101 Yarn-Shop Favorites
Yarn: .63 skeins James C. Brett Marble Chunky, 100% acrylic, color MC10
Needles: US size 10.5
Size: one size
Started and finished 12/23/2011
This was a great one-day project and I recommend this pattern to anyone who has chunky yarn and needs to whip out a baby sweater in a day. You don't even need to make buttonholes because the buttons fit in between the stitches.
A few changes to the pattern:
- The one row of garter stitch at the bottom isn't enough to prevent the body from rolling. I cast on 73 st instead of 72 (so the rows would end on the same stitch) and did 3 rows of seed stitch, then started the pattern. It took me under 3 hours to knit the entire body and do 3 needle bind off at the shoulders.
- Collar: I picked up 36 instead of 34 st and worked in seed stitch.
- Sleeves: I picked up 38 instead of 34, worked them in the round, and did seed stitch at cuff.
I estimate I spent between 5 and 6 hours on this, including weaving in the ends. I had enough yarn left over to make a hat to go with it:
Pattern: own (co 52)
Yarn: .15 skeins James C. Brett Marble Chunky, 100% acrylic, color MC10
Needles: US size 10.5
Size: infant
Started 12/23 and finished 12/31/2011
They look good together:
While I really like how this looks, I can't say I love the yarn. The acrylic just feels wrong in my hands and it bloomed up with little fuzzy bits after going through the washing machine, making me think it is not going to wear very well. Fortunately, with baby things you never need to worry about anyone fitting into anything for too long so even though it gets washed often for the few months it's worn, it's not like an adult garment you hope to wear for several years. I am supposed to meet my nephew for the first time next month.

text: Having 100 % control over your domain names is something rather crucial and being able to access and edit the DNS records for any of them is one of the things you need to look for when you search for a registration or a hosting provider. You may have heard of the so-called "name servers" that show where a domain address is hosted, but below them there's a whole group of records, like the A record, which is the IP address of the server hosting the website, and the MX records, which show the server that manages the e-mails for a specific domain. These records are employed if you want to have your web site with one company and the e-mails with another, as an illustration. Additionally you can use a domain name for a non-website service or direct the traffic to it through special records. Many companies ask for an extra payment to provide access to edit certain DNS records other than the name servers.

Enter this monkey bread. It is completely different, but in an amazing way! The monkey bread dough is pumpkin spice. Meaning it is stuffed with pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Then the dough balls are generously drizzled with creamy peanut butter. Oh my gosh, I know! So awesome! Oh, and there are some caramelized bananas hidden on top too, but if you have any banana haters they can easily be left out.
Prep time: 15 minutes (plus 3 hours for rising)
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Yield: 8-10 servings
1/3 cup warm milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup pure pumpkin (canned or homemade)
2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoons active dry yeast
2 cups flour
2-4 bananas, chopped
1 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup Smooth Operator peanut butter, plus more for drizzling
For Cinnamon Sugar Coating
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 stick butter, melted
1. Place the butter and milk into a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds until warmed through and butter starts to melt. You want the milk hot, but not steaming. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk. Now sprinkle the sugar over the yeast and stir to combine. Let sit until foamy and the mixture smells like bread.
2. Meanwhile, add the pumpkin, salt, sugar, and egg into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix ingredients well and then add the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with the bread hook attachment. Slowly add the flour and knead the dough for about three minutes with the mixer on medium speed. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the edges as needed.
3. Once a dough ball has formed in the center of the bowl or the bread hook, continue to knead on the hook for 5 more minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for about an hour and half.
4. Grease a Bundt pan and sprinkle the bottom of the pan with two chopped bananas. Sprinkle the bananas with 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Add the peanut butter to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Drizzle a few tablespoons of the warmed peanut butter over the bananas. Set aside.
5. To a medium bowl add the 1½ cups brown sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon and mix well. To another bowl add the melted butter.
6. When the dough has doubled in size, remove from bowl. And begin to break off golf ball-sized pieces of dough.
7. Set up an assembly line of dough balls, melted butter, cinnamon sugar coating and lastly your Bundt pan. Working with one ball at a time dip each ball in the butter and then drench the buttered ball in the cinnamon sugar coating. Place coated dough balls into the greased Bundt pan, right on top of the bananas until you have your first layer of dough balls.
8. Now if desired add the remaining chopped bananas on top of the first layer of dough ball. Drizzle the first layer with a few tablespoons of the warmed peanut butter.
9. Continue adding the remaining dough balls to the pan until you have used all the dough. You should have about 2 layers of balls now. Drizzle the final layer with the remaining peanut butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours. About 20 minutes before the bread is done rising preheat the oven to 350°F.
10. Bake the bread for 35 to 45 minutes. If the top of the bread is getting too brown cover the Bundt pan with foil. Remove and let cool for about 10 minutes in the pan.
11. Invert the Monkey Bread onto a large plate and if desired drizzle with more peanut butter. EAT!
*Bread dough adapted from here.

Previously, on Engagement: Concerns about coverage and cultural literacy are based on faulty assumptions and nonexistent mandates; they are merely imaginary obstacles to teaching approaches that employ more "doing history" than "listening to history"–and the "listening to history" approach was called out for being less effective than efficient (if the mention of as many historical tidbits as possible is one's criterion for efficiency).
The objective, meanwhile, was given some attention: The learning objective of this experimental, theoretical, hypothetical, non-prescriptive example of a practical alternative to the lecture-driven survey course ended up being the recognition of patterns in history, along with the ability to discern whether a pattern was applicable to a new situation or not, and the ability to explain why or why not. Mastery of this learning objective would be demonstrated by each individual student (in a class of 320) through his or her contributions to a student-written, student-edited, multiperspective, hypertext history of the United States. For a working title of this wunder-wiki, I'm currently thinking something like, "Genealogy of the American Present," in the grand tradition of textbook titles that equate "America" with the "United States of America."
Our previous discussion introduced a dilemma–breaking away from the instructor-centered lecture approach to teaching US history survey courses to 320 unenthusiastic undergraduates whose chairs are literally bolted to the floor–but, like most heroic epics, found us having to overcome a number of mythological obstacles before getting down to the purpose of the quest itself. This week, armed with a thorough reading of Team-Based Learning in the Social Sciences and Humanities: Group Work That Works to Generate Critical Thinking and Engagement (Sweet & Michaelsen, 2012), we venture deeper into our scenario.
Team-based learning (TBL), as described by Sweet and Michaelsen, is pretty much a package deal. In addition to some basic guidelines for backward design (a la Wiggins & McTighe, 2005), course structure (divide the course into units), and the establishment of permanent, heterogeneous teams of about 6 or 7 students each, TBL's RAP framework uses 4-S team applications and incorporates iRATs (individual pretests) and tRATS (purposive pretests that teams deliberate over and collaborate on) that are completed on special scratch-off forms called "IF-AT cards." Warnings and lessons learned are provided by those who have tried to incorporate only some parts of TBL or who implemented TBL without fidelity; only *minor* tweaking as required by the nature of your discipline is recommended–and, depending on the tweaks, results may vary.
There is nothing pedagogically unsound about TBL. It is solidly grounded in theory and has been demonstrated to be very effective in practice. I do not believe, however, that UT Austin is offering "Designing History's Future" as an experiment to see whether a heterogeneous team of graduate students will arrive at a conclusion that includes scratch-offs. More important, I've already invested some time and creativity in coming up with an objective and course product (with a great title) that serves both the content and critical thinking criteria that history professors crave (they ask for it by name), so I will take what is useful to those ends from what I've found in TBL and risk the consequences of not having all teams working simultaneously on solutions to the same problem. That seems like a waste of a lot of brainpower when we have the power of 320+ brains to harvest.
Not surprisingly, our own Dr. Restad offers a brilliant solution to the problem that inspired this "Engagement" series in the first place–namely, how to divide a class into heterogeneous groups. On the basis of assumptions that she can safely make (due to experience), she recommends that we
Set out an index card for each team. Print out a numbered roster. Begin by distributing the biggest category of majors among the teams. Last term it was male seniors in natural science, then senior females (science also). . . . Assign first-year students and undeclared majors next. Once you've gone through the entire roster, correct the most obvious misplacements. (Sweet & Michaelsen, 2012, p. 167)
And, in the spirit of the democratic classroom, Restad suggests that we explain the team-sorting process to the class: "They will want to know what your system is" (ibid.).
Of course, we added a bit to the pleasant frustration of the task by insisting that students be given [at least the illusion of] some choice in what work they would be so happily engaged in. The difficulty is this: How do we benefit from the simplicity of the plan Dr. Restad has presented us, but still extend [the illusion of] choice to our students? It would be great if we could allow students to select a topic they might find interesting from among the topics we provide on our menu of options, but we also recognize the propensity for students to form teams based on prior relationships, rather than the intellectual affinity groups we're hoping for. How do we resolve that dilemma? Again, Restad comes to the rescue. Whereas other contributors (in Sweet & Michaelsen) express a willingness to entertain changing the makeup of the "permanent" groups when faced with discord, Restad warns against it, citing the realities of "the professional world" as a rationale for making the group work through differences. Peer assessments play an important role here, too, but I think the key to team success is probably the norms for "How to Succeed as a Team," which Restad explicitly lists and provides to students.
Given that so much emphasis is placed on the permanence of teams, which provides group cohesiveness, accountability to the group (and, therefore, incentive to come to class every day, to arrive prepared, etc.), and the magical synergy that peers appear best equipped to build around a similar zone of proximal development, we definitely want to adopt this aspect of TBL. An early test of the groups' ability to arrive at consensus will be the deliberation over the available options and the selection–as a team–of their research focus from our menu.
But I also want to adapt this aspect of TBL: Whereas orthodox TBL would have all teams working on solutions to the same problem, we will have some teams working on certain "mainsprings" of US culture (remember our "warp" strands, which run across time?) while other teams address specific events or individuals or materials (our "weft" narratives–note the plural). The members of each team will likely draw upon the same stack of secondary sources, and some sharing of primary sources would be appropriate as well.
Before wrapping up this week's installment, I need to address the concern that teams will "divide and conquer" the material rather than actually collaborate–defeating the purpose of permanent teams and negating all those desired benefits. The process by which the class arrives at the final product makes collaboration impossible to avoid. Even if, say, the "States' Rights" warp team breaks up the topic by time periods, every member will have to be fluent in the full length of that "strand" because they will have to (a) read and revise their entire body of work for internal consistency and mechanics and, later in the semester, (b) consult with weft team members who are writing about specific events and individuals and materials that relate in some way to the "States' Rights" warp, such as "The Constitutional Convention," "Thomas Jefferson," "The Nullification Crisis," and, of course, "The Civil War," among others, as well as (c) consult with members of other warp teams that would benefit from their perspective, such as "Political Philosophies," "Education," and "Racism," among others. With all this revising and consulting, there will be more cross-fertilization going on in this course than on Friends and Jersey Shore combined.
We just need to identify our warp and weft topics and, more important, diagram a plan for *most* of that cross-fertilization so that students can return to their "home" groups at the end of consultation periods and have discussions about how to improve their work (to maintain that sense of team unity, yes, but also to encourage the idea that the consultations are two-way dialogs, not impartings of knowledge from a warpie to a weftie, or vice versa).
There's still plenty of time to figure that out, so be sure to tune in for next week's installment of Engagement.
