3 Reasons Why Forex Trading Is Better Than Stocks Or Futures
Low Account Start Up And Maintenance Account Balance
Forex trading allows traders to start with a smaller trading capital than in any other markets. In fact, there is one forex trading platform which has only a $50 minimum account size (you can find their link at the bottom of the page). Another nice feature is that they have no minimum trade size. That type of flexibility opens the door to practically anyone who wants to check out forex trading. This isn't to say that all brokers are that flexible.
Perpetual Motion
What is really nice in forex trading is that there's always something moving. There are a bunch of primary currencies interacting, each of which is constantly interfacing with all of the others. The other markets certainly cannot make this boast.
Trade on Your Schedule
The stock market is available for a little over 6 hours a day and that is it but the forex trading market is running 24 hours a day. How is that for convenient? As a trader you can wake up at 3:00a.m and make a trade or when you get back from the movies, etc.. This opens up the market to people that otherwise would not have the time to do so. The market is never really closed, it is very convenient.
I mentioned a forex trading platform that is very reasonable and extremely efficient. in fact it is the best in the business. If you would like to check it out click on the link below.

Half a year. It can be a long time for some, but for others, it is not long enough. It depends on what you are doing to mark the passing of time, or whether you are looking forward to or dreading change.
You may think it's no time at all, but here are things that can happen within those 182 days:
You Can Have Your Smile Fixed
In Sutton, Coldfield, six months is just enough time to regain your lost confidence from a mangled smile. Procedures such as Six Month Smiles are offered as a cosmetic treatment in many dental practices in your area. The journey to a more beautiful smile won't seem like a long time because the changes are made gradually, but once you reach the end of it, you will see the improvement clearly.
A Soldier Can Finish a Tour of Duty
The British Army sends its men to a tour of duty that lasts six months, with 14 days of R&R after the first four weeks and before the last four weeks of tour. Military men can be deployed overseas and not hear significant news from their families because civilians try not to give them the bad news while they are off fighting the war or keeping the peace. This means a lot of catching up when they return home.
The Season Can Make a 180-Degree Turn
The passing of time is often marked by the season, but it still continues to surprise people how easily three months can change the surroundings. Imagine going off to the army in autumn, and returning with all the spring flowers in full bloom. Living for another six months seems like one of the greatest miracles of life as you get to enjoy a new season.
Six months may be a long time if you are awaiting someone's return or eager to get started on a new chapter of your life. To make the waiting more bearable, keep your schedule busy and enjoy the subtle changes you see.

What is addiction and how is it treated?
Addiction can affect different types of people of all ages and backgrounds. It's a disease that has an effect on the normal function of the brain and causes substance cravings. Addiction is much more than a lack of willpower. The disease can change the working of the brain in some individuals. While the reason for this is not fully understood, it may be linked in part to genetics, environment, and the presence of a comorbid disorder like a mental illness. When you want to receive addiction treatment and begin the recovery process, it's important to consider the various options that are available locally. Call our addiction specialists today at (866) 271-6656 to learn more.
Several options for addiction treatment are available to residents of Houston and the surrounding areas to help you recover from substance abuse. Because different types of people will respond best to different kinds of treatments, a targeted strategy is created with the help of professionals. For example, teenagers and adults may receive different treatment focuses in their inpatient and outpatient programs. Both, however, will receive help from professionals who are trained in addiction recovery. Some of the most common substances for which people enter a drug abuse program include heroin, cocaine, prescription drugs, alcohol, opioids, and cocaine.
Who may become addicted?
If you are someone who uses drugs even casually, it pays to understand your risk of addiction. This is because enrolling in early treatment for your [substance abuse in Houston] can make it easier to recover from drug addiction.
Some factors that can influence if you are likely to develop an addiction include genetics and family history, gender, ethnicity, and a diagnosis of additional mental disorders. Outside influences from family members and friends can also determine if you form substance abuse due to stress levels or exposure to certain drugs.
There are many different signs to look for if you think you may be addicted to drugs. Consider where your money is going and whether you can make it through a day or a stressful situation without turning to a controlled substance. You may recognize a substance use disorder in someone else by a sudden weight loss or weight gain, deterioration of their physical appearance, or slurred speech. Since these can all be signs of other illnesses, these physical symptoms will further point to addiction when they are combined with secretive or dishonest behavior and a loss in the ability to manage responsibilities.
Learn more about your options for addiction treatment by contacting our addiction specialists today at (866) 271-6656.
How do inpatient and outpatient treatment centers differ?
Drug and alcohol inpatient treatment is one of the most common types of programs available. This style of treatment will require you to live in the facility for a minimum of one month. Some people stay longer depending on how well they progress. Both group and individual therapy are provided. You'll be encouraged to share your personal experience and input with other patients to develop accountability and form new relationships.
Outpatient addiction treatment is an option if you have a milder addiction and obligations that you are still capable of fulfilling. You may have work, school, or children in your care. With outpatient drug addiction recovery in Houston, you will live at home and attend a designated number of therapy sessions. Many of the services that are available in outpatient programs include day programs, behavioral therapy, and access to medications that can curb cravings.
Follow-up drug treatment or alcohol treatment is recommended after both inpatient and outpatient care to ensure that you continue to recover and avoid relapsing after completing the program. You'll be connected with support groups to maintain your sobriety.
What is a drug or alcohol detox program?
When you enter an inpatient drug rehab program, drug detox is the first step. This is when your body rids itself of the drug you've been struggling with. Some people begin the program after detoxing at home, but it's considered safer to perform an alcohol or drug detox while under the supervision of medical professionals. The side effects of detoxing depend on the substance that is used. They may include irritability, muscle aches, anxiety, and insomnia. You may benefit from medication, which can curb cravings and also alleviate discomfort from some of the side effects.
Detoxing typically lasts an average of five to seven days, but it may last as long as two weeks. Those who suffer withdrawal from sedatives may experience an overactive nervous system. Suboxone is commonly prescribed to patients who are addicted to opioids. Benzodiazepines may be given to individuals who have abused stimulants. Many of the side effects of detoxing are alleviated with the use of FDA-approved medication, making it easier to complete the process. It is important to note that detoxing with medications is typically done with around-the-clock medical care to monitor vitals and ensure safety. Drug rehabilitation through therapy will begin once your body has been fully purged of the drugs.
After you complete the program for addiction treatment, you may choose to move into a sober living home. Sober living homes help patients transition out of living in the inpatient program full time and can make it easier to adjust to the outside world. You'll learn how to create your own schedule and gain more independence while following the rules that are established by the home. Residents are sometimes required to return to the home before the curfew each day and also participate in daily support therapy groups to continue staying clean.
It can be easy to isolate yourself from your family members or friends as you continue your substance use. This can make it hard to ask for help when you realize that you are in over your head. We can help you seek the assistance that you need and reconnect with your support system as a part of your recovery. Signs that you are ready to begin your recovery journey include being curious about the program. If you feel you have lost control over your substance use or lost the important pieces of your life like a job, home, or relationships, then it is time to seek help.
Addiction specialists are available to help you find options for outpatient or inpatient addiction treatment. Call us at (866) 271-6656 today!

Pulp Fiction: A Dangerously Delicious Diner Meal
Big Kahuna Burger
Recipe Overview
Everyone wants to sink their teeth into a big juicy burger after watching Samuel L. Jackson take a bite out of that iconic Big Kahuna Burger in Pulp Fiction. We recreated this "tasty burger" with a sweet pineapple chutney and creamy Havarti cheese. So let's just cut to the chase and get grilling, shall we?
Recipe Instructions
To make the pineapple chutney, start by heating half of the olive oil in a pan and add the diced onions. Cook on a low heat until they are so soft and caramelized that they begin falling apart, and then add a pinch of salt. This process will take about an hour.
While the onions are caramelizing, heat a griddle pan. In a bowl combine the pineapple with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the remaining ¼ cup of the oil. Grill both sides of the pineapple on a griddle pan until nicely browned but not burnt. Remove the pineapple from the pan and chop it into very small pieces. Add the pineapple to the onions and continue to cook on low until you're ready to serveNow get started on your burgers! In a bowl combine the ground meat, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the ground pepper, and the jalapeño. Combine well, and then divide the meat into 6 even patties. Using the griddle pan that was used for the pineapple, grill the burgers over a medium heat. Here's one of our favorite grilling tricks: turn a large metal bowl upside down over the griddle to keep the burgers moist and to prevent the oil from splattering all over the place. Grill the burgers for 6 minutes on each side. If you like cheese, melt a slice of havarti on your burgers after they've been flipped.
To prepare your hamburger buns, melt butter in a separate pan and brown the buns over a medium heat. To assemble your burger, spread the chutney on both sides of the bun and garnish each burger with arugula.
These ARE some tasty burgers.
Serves 6
- 4 Maui (or sweet yellow) onions, diced
- 3 1/2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into 1/3 inch rounds
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon of fresh ground pepper
- 2 pounds of ground beef (the higher % of fat, the tastier)
- 1/2 jalapeño, diced
- 1 bag of arugula
- 6 slices of Havarti cheese
- 6 brioche buns
- 1/2 tablespoon of butter

Estate planning can be a crucial part of anyone's overall life blueprint, but all the minute details and elements to sift through can be overwhelming. While drafting a will is the most common and most essential part of an estate plan, there are many different ways to protect assets and provide a legacy.
Trusts are some of the most useful instruments of estate planning. When someone sets up a trust, he or she names a trustee and the intended beneficiaries, effectively dividing ownership of the assets that make up the body of the trust. The trust will be controlled by the trustee, who has a fiduciary duty to manage the assets in the trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries. This allows the creator of the trust a great deal of control over how the assets should be managed and distributed. Trusts can provide many different benefits such as avoiding probate, minimizing tax liability, maintaining privacy and more.
Since the assets no longer belong to the person who created the trust, the assets are not necessarily part of that person's estate when he or she passes away. Thus, the assets in the trust do not necessarily have to pass through probate court before they are distributed, nor are they subject to estate taxes. And unlike a will, a trust can go into effect while the creator is still alive. While the loss of ownership may sound alarming, stipulations can be set up to ensure proper distribution of the funds, even if the original owner is still alive.
Trusts can be extremely useful in setting up an estate plan. They can, however, also be very complicated in size and scope. Seeking the assistance of an experienced attorney can help those who want to tighten up the future of their assets. Donnelly Ritigstein Law Offices has experience in dealing with many different types of trusts and can help those in need of clarification.

The young Catholic people respond to Pope Francis' call to boost evangelization in the Diocese of Weetbula-Sumba Island of Indonesia.
Catholic Bishops' Conference Social Communications Commission (KWI Kosmos); led by Msgr. Petrus Turang, the Archbishop of Kupang, organized a seminar on new media and evangelization in response to the call given by Pope Francis for the World Day of Social communications to boost evangelization.
Participants who came from the remotest areas of Indonesia were unlike the majority of citizens, especially young people, were not familiar with computers and the internet.
In response, the local Catholic leadership facilitated a three-day meeting and discussion, which drew 62 young Catholics from various parishes of the diocese. Some of them seminarians, students, activists, teachers and nurses, who had to travel for 5/6 hours from their places of origin, to reach the diocesan pastoral Kotiku Loku center, in the north-western part of Sumba district.
The main purpose of the workshop was to strengthen missionary communications, to promote social networks and new media. The organizers said that the Indonesian Church promotes seminars and initiatives for "the production of Catholic news, aimed at evangelization."

Wow. I just realized that it's been 4 months since I did my last true blog post. How time flies… Since then, I have actually managed to lose some weight! I've been going to the gym 3-6 times per week, plus eating healthy. As I have Celiac disease, I have to eat gluten free. Since March, I've also cut meat out of my diet. I just wasn't feeling the greatest and thought that it was worth a try to cut it out. I have been feeling a million times better.
|January 11 vs. April 6
Food Rant
A few weeks ago, I made this Pad Thai. I loved it, I had leftovers for a few days and I definitely would make it again. I also recently made this quiche and loved it! I really want to try this layered dip recipe and this pizza recipe soon.
A few weeks ago, I came to realize how much I love Quest bars. I'm unsure if it's because I'm getting healthier, or because they're becoming more delicious. I especially love the Cookies & Cream ones. I'm also super loving these Crispy Minis for snacks.
When I'm in the mood to make a snack, my go-to has been strawberries or watermelon! I've also been cutting up an apple and a banana then drizzling it with a tablespoon of melted peanut butter and a teaspoon of chocolate sauce.
Fitness Rant
I hate classes. I hate cardio. I hate pilates. Therefore, I've been getting super into lifting weights and yoga.
I used to roll my eyes every time that someone even brought up yoga. However, more recently, I've been researching poses that work for me. Due to cracking my elbow in the winter, getting in a car accident last summer and pushing wheelchairs at work – I have developed muscle spasms in my trapezius muscle on the left side. I have found poses that work for me, poses that I love. These poses have helped ease pain and stretch out muscles that are tight from lifting weights.
When it comes to weight lifting, it's always been my workout of choice. I have started looking at pins on Pinterest for ideas. I really like the workouts from Fitness Food Diva. They work, they're great and I can always feel it the next day.
Shopping Rant
I have noticed a significant change in my personal style over the last year. This time last year, I was still wearing crop tops and bodycon skirts. Now, I wear jeans and a nice shirt almost every day off. When I work, I wear my favourite dress pants and a blouse.
Right now, I'm really digging the high-neck relaxed tanks from Old Navy. I bought a solid one in March, and keep eyeing the printed ones! They're so slimming and comfortable. Definitely worth the money.
I love tote bags in the spring and summer. I love that they're so big, you can throw in whatever you need. I'm taking my mom away for Mother's Day weekend and am desperately seeking a tote to take with us on our excursions on Saturday. I am currently obsessed with this bag in ivory for the spring! It would look so cute with just about anything.
Last, but certainly not least, I am obsessed with these flats. I bought a similar pair a few weeks ago. They're so cute for spring with just about anything. I love them, and want them in every colour of the rainbow!

August means back to school is right around the corner and I always love to have a new outfit to start the new school year. Enter Stitch Fix. I love that Stitch Fix does my back to school shopping for me. I have not been in the mood to go to the store and shop, so having 5 pieces picked by my personal stylist sent right to my door was awesome.
This month I asked for a pair of booties and anything I could wear to work. Since I have requested to have the same stylist for 2 years I feel like I can leave my requests very open. I trust my stylist, Jason, to send me things I'll love and push me out of my comfort zone. Here is what Jason sent this month:
I immediately noticed that this box was full of pieces that could be worn together. I love styling my fixes like a capsule wardrobe so for this fix I added very few pieces from my existing wardrobe and mixed and matched what Jason sent.
These Sole Society Azure Suede Booties were the anchor for all of my looks. The steel blue color is gorgeous and I treated it like I would denim. So basically, in my mind, they go with everything. These booties are well made and true to size. They immediately went in my closet. I am now the proud owner of blue suede shoes. Pretty awesome.
This Noisy May Catriona Blouse is perfect fall. The mustard color is a neutral when paired with other jewel tones and would be flattering on many complexions. It is a very drastic high-low cut and seemed to run just a little small. If I had kept this I would have sized up (I am wearing a Large above). I ended up getting a different size for someone else because I just didn't love the cut.
I love the color of this RD Style Kalla Knit Dress. It is a gorgeous burgundy and the fabric is so extremely soft. As you can see the dress is short and I would consider it more of a tunic. It fits true to size (I'm wearing a large) and loved that it wasn't too tight. It looks cute over leggings and the bell sleeves are amazing!!! I was going to sell this, but the size exchange wasn't available and so I ended up keeping it.
My photos do not do this Bishop + Young Flin Kimono justice. It has a wide variety of gorgeous colors and looks like a watercolor painting. Seriously, there are blues, reds, oranges, purples, pinks, and yellows, which makes it very versatile. The kimono fits a little large and I could have sized down, but I also like the the loose, breezy fit of the large I am wearing. I had just purchase another kimono so I sold this one to another fixer who had been pining after it.
I am sucker for a comfy jumpsuit and this Kaileigh Adalia Knit Jumpsuit did not disappoint. It was super soft and easy to get on and off. I loved that this jumpsuit had pockets. It was just long enough for me, I am close to 5'7″, and the navy color is very versatile. While I loved the fit, I knew I wouldn't get much wear out if it because it was a little low cut for work. I sold this to another fixer so I could get the 25% discount.
So there are the pieces by themselves, let's take a look at them styled together.
I had so much fun layering the pieces for five unique looks. I was surprised how much I liked the kimono belted over the dress. Which look is your favorite? I am already excited for my next fix. If you haven't tried Stitch Fix what are you waiting for? Ask me any questions you may have in the comments.
Until next time,
I love you more than kimonos of many hues and blue suede shoes,

Comparison of Raschig Ring Packing Pattern via Mean Resident Time using CFD Particle Tracing Technique: Dry Methane Reforming for Case StudyName : Dr. Nattaporn Chutichairattanaphum
Affliation : Faculty
University : King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok
Country : Thailand
Abstract: This paper aims to study the effect of raschig ring packing patterns using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). CFD module of particle tracing was established to measure particles diffusing through the packed bed. The support raschigs catalyst was modeled in three patterns within a tubular reactor – namely, vertical staggered, chessboard staggered and reciprocal staggered pattern. A case study of Dry Methane Reforming (DMR) was investigated at 600°C, 1 atm. The study of Mean Resident Time (MRT) and E(t) function were investigated to identify the packing pattern performance. The results showed that the minimum value of the E(t), which means the flow behavior, was close to ideal plug flow behavior. MRT can be used to systematically identify the deviation from the ideal plug flow reactor of the three different packing patterns.
Keywords: Particle Tracing Technique; Mean Residence Time; Packed Bed Reactor; Computational Fluid Dynamics.

It was a weekend of highs and lows for the No. 2 Nittany Lions (11-1, 1-1) who hosted No. 14 Nebraska and Iowa this past weekend in the squad's Big Ten openers.
On Friday, in front of a crowd of 3,800 at Rec Hall, the Lions welcomed formerly No.1 Nebraska to the court. Nebraska gave the Lions trouble last year, and were ultimately the reason the Lions were bounced from a national championship bid.
The Lions struggled against the Cornhuskers and fell in three sets: 26-24, 25-19, 25-20.
Despite the set losses, the Lions still showed a strong effort, especially by Simone Lee (Menomonee Falls, Wis.).
Lee posted a team-high 15 kills and 13 digs. Ali Frantti (Spring Grove, Ill.) and Haleigh Washington (Colorado Springs, Colo.) continued to be forces on the court, with Frantti adding nine kills and seven digs and Washington contributing six kills and two digs.
Head Coach Russ Rose took responsibility for the loss, saying he should have prepared his team better this week.
"Obviously I didn't do a very good job of preparing the team to play," said Rose. "I'm very disappointed in our effort. I thought the crowd was better than the team tonight, and I apologize for that."
Rose noted that tactically, the team could have been better, but that there are plenty of opportunities left for success in Big Ten play.
"I don't think we coached very well," noted Rose. "I thought we had a good game plan, but we didn't execute at all, but it's a long season and there's still 19 more Big Ten matches."
Luckily, Penn State was able to make a comeback the very next night against Iowa in front of a crowd of just over 2500 spectators at Rec Hall.
The Lions overtook the Hawkeyes in four sets: 25-13, 25-19, 23-25, 25-17.
Lee wowed her team and the crowd by clinching 22 kills and 10 digs. Frantti continued to impress with 10 digs and seven kills.
Defensively, Bryanna Weiskircher (Rockford, Ill.) and Abby Detering (Mentor, Ohio) stepped up to the plate big time by registering 25 and 28 assists, respectively.
Defensive specialist Kendall White (Indianapolis, Ind.) came in clutch with 12 digs, too.
The Lions will return to Rec Hall this weekend to host Illinois and Northwestern in another bout of Big Ten play. Come out to Rec Hall this Friday at 7:30 p.m. to cheer on your Lions!

Vancouver, BC – December 17, 2014: Pure Industrial Real Estate Trust ("PIRET") (TSX: AAR.UN) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted its notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid").
The notice provides that PIRET may, during the twelve-month period commencing December 19, 2014 and ending December 18, 2015, purchase for cancellation on the TSX up to 5,000,000 Class A units (each, a "Unit") in total, being approximately 2.64% of the outstanding Units as of the date hereof. The daily repurchase restriction for the Units is 133,623 Units, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of 534,493 Units on the TSX for the six months ended November 30, 2014.
All purchases under the Bid will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, Alpha or alternate trading systems in Canada at market prices prevailing at the time of purchase. The actual number of Units which may be purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be subject to compliance with the TSX rules. Any Units that are purchased under the Bid will be cancelled.
PIRET believes that its Units have been trading in a price range which does not adequately reflect the value of such Units in relation to PIRET's business and its future business prospects. Accordingly, depending upon future price movements and other factors, PIRET believes that the purchase of outstanding Units may from time to time be an appropriate use of available resources and benefit remaining unitholders by increasing their proportionate equity interest in PIRET.
During the past 12 months, PIRET purchased 350,000 Units at a weighted average price of $4.30 per Unit pursuant to a previous normal course issuer bid. PIRET currently has 189,410,770 Units issued and outstanding.
Cash Distribution
PIRET today announced that its Board of Trustees has approved a cash distribution of $0.026 per trust unit for the month of December 2014 (equivalent to $0.312 per trust unit on an annualized basis). This distribution will be paid on January 15, 2015 to unitholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2014.
The policy of PIRET is to pay cash distributions on or about the 15th day of each month to the unitholders of record on the last business day of the preceding month.
PIRET units are listed on the TSX under the symbol AAR.UN. PIRET currently has 189,410,770 units issued and outstanding.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of acetamido cinnamate ester in water.
He, Shenlu.
MetadataShow full item record
This research aimed to investigate the DuPHOS-Rh catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of acetamido cinnamate ester using water as the sole reaction solvent. The attempted synthesis of acetamido cinnamate ester was carried out using a 2-step literature procedure starting with N-acetylglycine. Six different substituted aldehydes were employed as the starting materials, all of which gave low conversion and impure acetamido cinnamate ester products. Hence, the hydrogenation reactions were not completed and further investigation is required to determine if this process is a viable method to produce protected amino acids.

"Simon Peaple's book on the 46th (North Midland) Division is a welcome addition to the historiography of the First World War," writes Nigel Atter – reviewing the latest of our Wolverhampton Military Studies Series titles.
Simon completed his PhD at Birmingham University and is Head of History and Politics at Princethorpe College.
The book charts the progress of the 46th Division along the "learning curve" throughout the course of the Great War. The men arrived in France mostly without combat experience and with antiqued artillery. The Midland Territorials were inducted into the art of trench warfare by regular soldiers (although Henry Wilson noted their "lack of keenness").
Of course, by holding trenches the Division was excluded from conducting offensive operations and thereby – as Peaple's analysis explains – lagged behind the learning curve. Whilst the men are self-reliant, the NCOs are seen as "not very bright". Montague Stuart-Wortley is described as "cynical" and "childishly peevish and inclined to whine". However, these perceived impediments did not stop the Division from being competent at trench holding.
The greatest test of men is what they do whilst under fire and that task was soon to come with the assault on Honhenzollern Redoubt.
Montague Stuart-Wortley actively sought out learning for more experienced officers – those who had been in action at Loos. Peaple shows that the Divisional Commander sought out practical advice and – importantly – incorporated that knowledge where he could. Unfortunately for 46th Division, Maj-Gen Richard Haking insisted on a daylight frontal assault with inadequate artillery preparation.
After the assault Haig was highly critical of 46th Division's troops. Montague Stuart-Wortley's poor relations with Haig and Haking did not help. Haig did not want Stuart-Wortley and this is reflected in the Division's posting to Egypt. They were recalled and came under the command of Lt-Gen Sir T D'O. Snow who Peaple's states also hated Stuart-Wortley. (It would have been helpful to have had a reference for this claim).
46th Division's well-advertised assault against the strongly-held German positions at Gommecourt on 1 July 1916 was a catastrophic failure. Stuart-Wortley was degummed as early as 3 July. 46th Division suffered the indignity of an inquiry into their performance. Peaple convincingly argues that Stuart-Wortley should not have been sacked as 46th Division's performance was not worse than a number of other Divisions on that fateful day.
Under the tutelage of Maj-Gen William Thwaites 46th Division improved. Thwaites led the North Midlanders to their first successful assault against Hill 65. However, on 1 July 1917 controversy hit 46th Division again when Horne of First Army noted their "want of initiative and absence of push".
Maj-Gen Boyd assumed command following 46th Division's transfer to Fourth Army. Under Boyd, the Division assaulted the Hindenburg Line. With improved combined arms operations and one the largest artillery bombardments of the war to support the infantry – success was assured.
As Peaple's clearly shows, 46th Division had travelled the learning curve and joined the 'fast-lane'. Indeed 46th Division's success reflects the progress of the British Army and the learning curve in practice. I agree with Peaple convincing analysis "that 46th Division could match the highest standards in the British Army of late 1918". There is no doubt the men showed valour, bravery and courage and this was recognised with the award of numerous VCs, DCMs and MMs.
The production of the book is up to Helion's very high standards. The quality of the paper and printing is excellent, together with eight superb maps drawn by Barbara Taylor.
I would recommend this book to scholars of the First World War. No doubt the general reader and the good people of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire will find much of interest.

Angus Housing Association has paid the Living Wage for a number of years already. We committed to this idea early on and brought all the wages of our cleaning and caretaking staff up to the Living Wage. This happened immediately after our employer umbrella organisation, Employers in Voluntary Housing and UNITE reached an agreement to promote the Living Wage to their member employers in 2011. When I accepted an award from the STUC at their conference in the Caird Hall in Dundee to mark EVH's commitment to the Living Wage, it was one of the proudest moments of my working life.
More recently, we have been formally accredited as a Living Wage Employer. Being a responsible employer is very important to us and nothing is more important than ensuring our lowest paid employees are properly paid.
As an organisation, we receive public subsidy to help us build homes for rent. It is my view that any organisation receiving public subsidy should first be able to demonstrate that it has Living Wage Accreditation. Too often nowadays, I hear social businesses, like Housing Associations, discussing costs in the context of the "bottom line". Far too often, I hear stories about employment practices in our sector that are being driven by a "bean counter" mentality. This both surprises and annoys me.
If there is any sector which should have a clear vision of the impact of a low wage economy and an austerity led welfare regime on the working poor, it is social landlords. We see the effect, at first hand, on our tenants on minimum or lower wages. Families who struggle to deal with the basics of life like paying their rent and feeding their children, simply to boost the profits of their employers. These same employers, of course, then rely on the state to provide healthcare and other services to their workforce.
If we are to describe ourselves as responsible social landlords, we must surely recognise that paying our own employees properly is, inherently, one of these responsibilities.
That is why I believe that all Housing Associations and their subsidiary companies should commit to achieving Living Wage accreditation or risk losing their future receipt of both public subsidy and the support of their tenants and the wider public that they currently enjoy.

Schizophrenia was earlier known as dementia praecox. It was later renamed as schizophrenia by a Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1911. It is derived from two Greek words, Schizein (to split) and Phren (mind).
Schizophrenia affects nearly 22 million people across the world, mostly in the age group of 15-35 years. In US, it afflicts approximately 2.5 million people. The disease generally starts between 15 to 25 years of age. The average age of onset of the disease is 18 years in men and 25 years in women. Schizophrenia effects rarely in children below 10 years and in men above 40 years.
Most patients go through three stages or phases of schizophrenia as described below.
- In the first phase, known as acute phase, the patient shows psychotic symptoms and may lose contact with reality. Patients suffer from hallucinations such as hearing voices or believing that God is communicating with them. Patients in this phase require intervention and treatment.
- In the second phase, known as stabilization phase, the patient shows marked improvement, and the psychotic symptoms are brought under control. However, if treatment is interrupted, the patient is at risk of going into relapse.
- In the third phase, known as maintenance phase, stability returns to the patient. However, in this case too, the patient may go into relapse.
Schizophrenia can be classified into two types as follows.
Type I or positive schizophrenia
- Persons with this type of schizophrenia suffer from positive symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech, thinking and behavior. The onset of the disease is acute (rapid), and the patient responds well to the treatment. Positive symptoms respond positively to the treatment and reflect the excess or distortion of normal functions.
Type II or negative schizophrenia
- Persons with this type of schizophrenia suffer from negative symptoms such as social isolation, lack of energy and emotions, alogia (poor speech), lack of interest in life, poor social skills and inability to make friends. The onset of negative symptoms is gradual and reflects the reduction or loss of normal functions. The symptoms are difficult to evaluate as they are not as abnormal or excessive as positive symptoms. At present, there is no treatment that can cure negative symptoms consistently.
According to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Edition IV, 1994 (DSM-IV) schizophrenia is of five subtypes.
The characteristic features of paranoid schizophrenics are as follows:
- auditory hallucinations or hearing voices
- delusions or false beliefs
- suspicious nature
- high opinion and exaggerated importance of themselves
- feeling of extreme religiosity and jealousy
- belief that others are scheming against them
- belief that others are harming or persecuting them
- violent and suicidal tendencies
- nearly normal emotions and cognitive abilities
- function at higher level than other subtypes
Disorganized or Hebephrenic:
The characteristic features of disorganized schizophrenia are as follows:
- disorganized and incoherent speech, thinking and behavior
- absence of hallucination in most cases
- incongruous, emotionless or silly behavior
- intellectual deterioration
- inappropriate or flat emotional response to situations
- extreme social withdrawal
- weak personality
The characteristic features of catatonic schizophrenia are as follows:
- extremely isolated and socially withdrawn
- imitates other's actions, movements and speech
- psychomotor disturbances, including bad posturing, stupor, rigidity and agitation
- risk of self-injury, malnutrition and exhaustion
- not so common in Europe and US
The characteristic features of undifferentiated schizophrenia are as follows:
- display general symptoms of schizophrenia (positive and negative symptoms)
- symptom's criteria not conforming exclusively to any other subtypes
- exhibits some features of other subtypes but without a clear dominance of anyone
The characteristic features of residual schizophrenia are as follows:
- lack of motivation
- lack of interest in day-to-day activities
- faced at least one acute schizophrenic episode
- absence of strong positive symptoms such as delusion and hallucination
- presence of negative symptoms
Causes of Schizophrenia:
Experts believe that schizophrenia results from the combination of genetic, social, environmental, and neurobiological causes. However, these causes are not yet completely understood.
Neurobiological or Dysregulation hypothesis:
According to this hypothesis, there is a connection between schizophrenia and the excessive secretion of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine.
Genetic hypothesis:
Experts believe that persons with schizophrenic biological relatives are 10 times at more risk of being schizophrenic than the general population. Further, 70% of schizophrenic patients were found to have a genetic basis for the disease.
The following table shows the relationships and the risks:
|Fraternal twin
|15 % risk
|Identical twin
|50 % risk
|10 % risk
|One parent affected
|15% risk
|Both parents affected
|35% risk
|None affected relative
|1% risk
Viral hypothesis:
As per this hypothesis, prenatal exposure to the influenza virus during the second semester of pregnancy may cause schizophrenia. Further, experts agree that viral infection of the hippocampus, a brain area that deals with sense perceptions, may also cause schizophrenia.
Socio-cultural hypothesis:
Many psychotherapists believe that stress due to poverty, anxiety, environment, family, and society may lead to schizophrenia. However, some experts do not subscribe to this theory and think that stress does not cause the disease, but only influences the severity or expression of it.
It is also important to know that the following does NOT cause schizophrenia:
- Poor family relations
- Inadequate and bad parenting
- Overzealous parents
Further, schizophrenia is NOT same as the split personality disorder.
Some of the common triggers of schizophrenia are as follows:
- social isolation
- infection
- malnutrition
- insomnia
- aggressive environment
- improper social skills
- chronic negative attitude
Symptoms of Schizophrenia:
There is no single symptom, which can be precisely identified with schizophrenia in an individual. Diagnosis is carried out based on a set or group of symptoms.
According to Eugene Bleuler (the Swiss psychiatrist who coined the term schizophrenia), schizophrenic patients display a set of four primary symptoms, including:
- associations – disturbing thoughts
- affect – flattened or inappropriate emotional response
- ambivalence – conflicting feeling towards others
- autism – social withdrawal
Eugene Bleuler considered delusion and hallucinations as secondary symptoms.
In 1959, the German psychiatrist Kurt Schneider proposed two sets of symptoms: first rank symptoms and second rank symptoms.
According to Schneider, first rank symptoms are the most important and central symptoms that are unique to schizophrenia. Such symptoms include:
- delusions
- thought insertions or withdrawals (e.g., believing that external agents such as FBI, CIA, Aliens, etc., has the power to put or remove thoughts from one's mind)
- somatic hallucinations (e.g., believing that one's brain is radioactive)
- hearing voices
Recent studies, however, revealed that some of the first rank symptoms were found in other disorders such as bipolar disorders.
Second rank symptoms (e.g., disturbances in mood and thoughts) are those that may be present in other disorders.
Positive Symptoms:
These symptoms are those that represent or reflect an excessive or distorted version of normal functions. The symptoms include Schneider's first rank symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations, and disorganized thought process. Positive symptoms show a positive response to some treatments.
1) Delusion:
The individual may show symptoms including:
- that he is being followed or watched
- that he is being persecuted or harmed
- belief that someone is sending him/her messages through TV and Radio
2) Hallucination:
The symptoms include:
- hearing voices in thoughts
- visual hallucinations
- somatic hallucinations
3) Disorganized thinking:
The characteristic symptoms include:
- loose associations, which means the patient rambles from one topic to another without any connection
- tangential speech in which patient gives unrelated answers to questions
- incoherent speech, which means the patient talks so incoherently that it does not make any linguistic or grammatical sense
4) Disorganized behavior:
The symptoms may include:
- purposeless behavior
- silly behavior
- difficulty in taking self-care or doing day-to-day activities
- odd or inappropriate dressing
- sexual self-simulation in public
- shouting, agitation or cursing in public
5) Catatonic behavior:
The patient may display the following symptoms:
- bizarre or rigid postures
- unaware of surrounding environment
- purposeless motor activity such as pacing and rocking
Negative Symptoms:
These symptoms are those that represent or reflect diminution or absence or lack of normal functions. Negative symptoms are difficult to treat because they are difficult to evaluate.
1) Affective flattening:
The symptoms may include:
- lack or inappropriate emotional response
- flattened facial expression
- lack of eye contact
- inappropriate body language
2) Alogia:
Alogia means poverty of speech. The symptoms may include:
- lack or reduction in speech fluency
- blocked thoughts
- empty or short replies to questions
3) Avolition:
Avolition means absence of will or volition. The patient may display the following symptoms:
- disinterest in normal things
- lack or reduced ability to initiate or persist in the goal-oriented objectives
- sitting inside house for hours or days doing nothing
- disinterested in meeting with friends
- lack of interest in doing things that used to be done enthusiastically
Schizophrenia Diagnosis:
The psychiatrist during diagnosis shall look at outward observable symptoms and not at internal psychological features. Doctor may recommend the patient to undergo computer tomography scan (CT scan) to find any abnormalities in the brain structure associated with schizophrenia.
The doctor starts the diagnosis by excluding any physical conditions that may cause behavior similar to those associated with schizophrenia. These organic disorders include:
- Wilson disease
- temporal lobe epilepsy
- encephalitis
- Huntington's chorea
- organic brain disorders, including traumatic brain injuries
- substance (especially amphetamine) abuse disorders
After ruling out the above conditions, the physician will exclude other psychiatric conditions with symptoms resembling psychosis. Such conditions include:
- multiple personality disorder or dissociative disorder not otherwise specified (DDNOS)
- mood disorders with psychotic features
- schizotypal personality disorder
- schizoid personality disorder
- paranoid personality disorder
- delusional disorder
- atypical reactive disorder
After ruling out the above conditions and disorders, the patient, in order to be diagnosed with schizophrenia, must meet a set of criteria specified by DSM-IV as follows:
- Patient must display at least two of the following characteristic symptoms for a significant portion of time during the one month period
- delusions
- hallucinations
- catatonic or grossly disorganized behavior
- disorganized speech
- negative symptoms
- Decline in social or occupational or interpersonal skills
- Disturbances should persist continuously for a period of at least six months
- Conditions should not be attributed to mood disorder
- Conditions should not be attributed to substance abuse
- Conditions should not be attributed to other general medical conditions
Another set of criteria used to diagnosis schizophrenia is ICD-10 criteria. The criteria according to ICD-10 are as follows:
- Patient must display at least one of the following characteristic symptoms for a period of one month
- thought insertion or withdrawal or broadcasting
- delusions of control or influence
- voice hallucinations
- inappropriate or impossible delusions such as extreme religiosity or superhuman powers
- Patient must display at least two of the following characteristic symptoms for a period of one month
- irrelevant or incoherent speech
- catatonic behavior
- hallucinations accompanied by delusions
- negative symptoms
- Mood disorder, if present, must be preceded by one month of characteristic symptoms
- Conditions not attributed to substance abuse
- Conditions not attributed to brain disease
Schizophrenia Treatment:
The aim of the treatment should be to minimize the symptoms, reduce the side effects of medicines, prevent relapse, and maximize the functions and recovery process.
Treatment depends, in part, on the phase or stage of the disease. Patients in acute stage are hospitalized to avoid any harm, they may cause to themselves or to others. Doctor starts the treatment by conducting MRI or CT scans to rule out any structural brain damage or disease. The patient may be subjected to diagnostic tests to exclude other disorders with symptoms similar to those of schizophrenia.
The treatment generally consists of three phases:
- Biological
- Psychological and
- Social
Biological treatment:
This is the primary form of treatment in which the patient is administered with antipsychotic drugs (not antischizophrenic drugs). These drugs help to control almost all the positive symptoms of the disorder, but do not have much effect on negative symptoms and disorganized behavior. However, the patient can be deinstitutionalized with the use of antipsychotic drugs.
Antipsychotic drugs can be divided into two classes: the traditional dopamine receptor antagonists (Das), and the latest serotonin dopamine antagonists (SDAs). These medications reduce the patient's sensitivity to sensory stimuli and thus help to improve the patient's ability to interact with others.
Dopamine Receptor Antagonists:
Dopamine Receptor Antagonists drugs are conventional or traditional antipsychotic drugs. They are also known as neuroleptic drugs or major tranquilizers. The drugs include:
- chlorpromazine (Thorazine)
- haloperidol (Haldol)
- fluphenazine (Prolixin)
- trifluoperazine (Stelazine)
- perphenazine (Trilafon)
- thioridazine (Mellaril)
- thiothixene (Navane)
- mesoridazine (Serentil)
- loxapine (Loxitane)
- molidone (Moban)
- pimozide (Orap)
Neuroleptic drugs have a good effect on positive symptoms. However, they are not much helpful in treating the negative symptoms.
Further, there are two drawbacks with traditional antipsychotic or neuroleptic drugs:
- It is difficult to find the correct dosage level for an individual.
- Dosage levels that are required to control the psychotic symptoms induce extrapyramidal side effects (EPSs). These side effects may include:
- Akathisia (restlessness, pacing and fidgeting)
- Parkinsonism (patient has difficulty in walking and may develop tremors)
- Dystonia (painful muscle cramps of tongue, head and neck)
- Tardive dyskinesia (worst form of EPS resulting in involuntary movements beginning from mouth and spreading to face, neck, and trunk). The most common movements are lip smacking, grimacing and eye blinking.
Other side effects include:
- Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (a rare, but life-threatening disease involving fever, muscle rigidity, delirium and autonomic instability).
- Weight gain
- Constipation
- Sedation
- Dry Mouth
- Blurry Vision
Serotonin Dopamine Antagonists:
Serotonin Dopamine Antagonists are also known as atypical antipsychotic drugs. They include:
- clozapine (Clozaril)
- olanzapine (Zyprexa)
- risperidone (Risperdal)
- quetiapine (Seroquel)
- ziprasidone (Geodon)
- aripiprazole (Abilify)
- risperidone MS (Consta)
These drugs can control the negative symptoms in a much better way than neuroleptic drugs and are less likely to produce the EPSs. They also help in alleviating cognitive and mood symptoms. However, atypical antipsychotic drugs may cause some side effects such as weight gain, ECG changes and metabolic problems.
SDAs are expensive in short term, but they reduce the long-term costs by cutting down the need for a longer hospitalization period. At present, SDAs are unavailable in injection form. Usually, SDAs are given to patients who respond poorly to the treatment by DAs. However, doctors now regard the use of atypical antipsychotic drugs as first choice.
Apart from antipsychotic drugs, psychiatrists recommend the use of anti-depressants or benzodiazephines, because most of the schizophrenic patients suffer from depression, anxiety and phobias.
In the acute phase of schizophrenia, patients are usually given medications orally or through intramuscular injections. When the patient enters the stabilized phase, the medications are given in a long-acting form called the depot dose.
Depot dose is a form of medication in which medicines are stored in patient's body tissue for a certain period (generally two to four weeks). This will minimize the risk of the patient forgetting or skipping the daily doses of medicine. Depot dose should be introduced gradually so that the patient gets used to such type of medication.
During the maintenance phase of schizophrenia, the patient has to take the antipsychotic drugs indefinitely to minimize the risk of relapse.
Psychological Treatment:
Most schezophrenics can benefit from psychotherapy once their acute symptoms have been brought under control with the help of antipsychotic drugs. However, psychoanalysis is not recommended, because the patient is unable to form meaningful relationships.
Family therapy for family members of schezhophrenic patients is often recommended to help them to understand the patient's disorder. Family members can learn about the causes, treatment and coping strategies of schizophrenia.
Family therapy also changes the family member's attitude and behavior towards the patient and can help them to cope with the stresses caused by the patient's illness. The therapy improves the communication skills and problem-solving strategies of family members when dealing with the patient. Further, support groups and related organizations can also aid the families of schizophrenic patients.
Social Treatment:
Social treatment involves behavior therapy to improve the patient's social interaction skills and occupational therapy to prepare the patient for an eventful employment.
Prognosis depends upon the age of the patient at the onset of the psychotic symptoms. Patients with early onset of symptoms are more likely to be male, have higher rate of brain abnormalities, more symptoms that are negative, lower level of functioning before the onset, and worse prognosis.
Patients with later onset of symptoms are more often females, with low thought impairment and fewer brain abnormalities, and good prognosis.
Patients who have a stressful life or surrounded by hostile or emotionally intense family environment are more likely to relapse. The most important factor in the long-term care of schizophrenics is to comply with their regime of antipsychotic drugs.
At present, there is no way to prevent the onset of schizophrenia. However, research is going on to find ways to treat the disorder before the onset of its symptoms (for example, when there is suspicion of hereditary or genetic transmission).

Credit for College Courses
Bucknell allows course credit for college courses completed prior to Bucknell admission in the following ways:
A first-year student is limited to a maximum of eight transfer credits (including AP, IB or college courses elected while in high school). To be accepted for transfer credit that will count toward graduation requirement, the course must be comparable to a course offered at Bucknell. Examples of course work not acceptable for transfer are courses in professional or vocational fields, courses from professional schools, mathematics courses below introductory calculus, language courses that repeat high school work, and physical education credits.
If the course content does not have a Bucknell course equivalent, the level of transfer credit will be determined. If the accepted course cannot be assigned to one specific department or program it will be designated NDPT, non-departmental.
Grades of "C-" or below will not be accepted for transfer credit. Credit will not be granted for pass/fail grades, audits, or for courses that have already been taken at Bucknell or elsewhere.
For schools on a semester hour system, 4 semester hours are considered equivalent to 1.0 Bucknell course credit. Policy does, however, allow for two 3-semester-hour courses to transfer as a full course credit. Transfer credit is then approved at .75 for any 3-semester-hour course taken thereafter.
To receive transfer credit, you must request an official transcript from the institution where the course was taken. The transcript should be sent to the following address:
Office of the Registrar
Bucknell University
Lewisburg, PA 17837
Additionally, you must provide the Registrar's Office with a course description or syllabus.
Accepted transfer credits are not included in a student's Bucknell grade point average (GPA) calculation.
Advanced Placement Scores
AP test scores should be sent to our office (CEEB Code 2050). Once we receive an official report of your scores, we will evaluate them and make the appropriate additions to your academic record.
View the AP Score Chart.
International Baccalaureate and Credit
IB Diploma recipients, with a minimum score of 5 on each of the six subject examinations, will be awarded six course credits toward their degree requirements at Bucknell.
Diploma recipients who do not meet the minimum score requirements will receive course credit for only those higher level courses passed with a score of 5 or higher.
IB Certificate students (non-diploma) will receive course credits for each higher level course passed with an examination score of 5 or higher.

Orthodox Quote for April 15
"If a person does not do what he can, uniting himself to the prayers of the saints, neither does he derive any benefit if the saints pray for him. If they abstain and intercede for him but he abandons himself to dissoluteness and pleasure, what good is their prayer for him… when a holy and righteous person intercedes and the sinner cooperates with the saints' prayers, to the extent possible for him, by penance, being unable to pay his debt by himself. His contribution is small, but that of the prayer of the saints is great."
(Sts Barsanuphius and John)

Like the legend of the phoenix, Pharrell Williams' career has re-risen bigger and brighter than ever before. Pharrell Williams' single, "Happy," for the movie Despicable Me 2 was released four months ago and is happily sitting at number one on Billboard's Hot 100. Currently, the video has 150 million-plus views on Youtube, and there is no slowing down this train.
A former member of the pop group N*E*R*D (Nobody Ever Really Dies), Pharrell disappeared from the spotlight for a while. Last year, he demonstrated the kind of star power he had and forced us to pay attention. 2013 was Pharrell's year as he delivered three smash-hit wonders: "Blurred Lines," "Get Lucky," and "Happy." "Blurred Lines," despite its criticism for being misogynistic, became the number two song of 2013, behind "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore. It currently has nearly 300 million views. "Get Lucky," a collaboration with Daft Punk, has more than 170 million views and won Pharrell two Grammys, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Record of the Year.
Does this song deserve its crown? The best answer is…maybe. The song itself is very upbeat. When a song begins with "Sunshine is here, you can take a break," the listener knows exactly what they are in for. The song is about Pharrell being happy because…he is. The lyrics are incredibly vague when it comes to explaining where Pharrell's source of incomprehensible joy comes from. Is he in love? Did he win the lottery? Did he find his long lost father? It is anybody's guess at this point. Some of the lyrics are very ambiguous as well. For example, "come along if you feel like a room without a roof"…so, useless against the rain? This lyric is supposed to signify a strange metaphor for uncompromising ecstasy. The biggest problem with the song is the lyrics. Songs are like any other form of storytelling, there needs to be a story to tell. A movie needs to show why a character is feeling what they are feeling. They are happy because they got married, or they are bitter because they lost their job. Cause and effect. For some reason, music can get away with evoking emotion (effect) without explaining why (cause).
Not to say this is a bad song. Quite the opposite. The song does exactly what it sets out to do. It wants to make the listener jump up and down, dance around and enjoy life in general. Can anybody listen to this song and not get butterflies in their tummies and want to sweat away their troubles? Can it get repetitive? A little, especially if you listen to the 24-hour video. That is not a joke; there is a 24-hour video for this song.
Speaking of the video (the four-minute one), it is one of the most lighthearted videos ever made. The song consists of people, and to the video's credit, they are of all sizes, genders, ages and race. What are they doing? Dancing, of course! Not the highest concept video of all time, but there is something to admire about watching people from all walks of life enjoying themselves, not because of money, beauty, fame, or power, but because they are alive. The video also includes celebrities such as Magic Johnson and Jimmy Kimmel. Steve Carrell and the yellow Minions show up to remind you that this song is for Despicable Me 2.
Back to the original question: does this song deserve its crown? Maybe it does. This song has been out for four months, and other songs have come and gone, like Katy Perry's "Dark Horse," and even though some may have knocked it down for a while, it got right back up. It is rare to see a song make the number one spot on the Billboard 100 that does not involve shameless self-promotion, degrading others, or any mention of empty materialistic gain.

1956 - Ben Abrham Born in Bombay – India
1957 - Immigrated in Israel
Studied Bezalel Art School, Jerusalem
Ben Abrham is a Jerusalem painter, an artist who lives and breathes Jerusalem in most of his lively oil paintings and watercolors. The characters he depicts are not creations of a stranger overcome with the exotic. They are figures of people in their own world, harmony between man and his environment, a full life.
His themes are mainly landscapes of his beloved Jerusalem, her arched alleyways, steep narrow streets, spires, citadels and gates in the wall of the ancient city. His seascapes, in delicate watercolors, of Jaffa and Acre have a minimal regard for such actualities as Nature's laws but with the light and rhythm of a real Mediterranean seacoast.

How to React After a Failed Transfer
Learning that your embryo transfer did not result in a positive pregnancy test can feel devastating. The doctor said your embryos were perfect, your surrogate's uterus was perfect, and you were sure the result would be a successful, perfect pregnancy. It is completely normal and understandable to be met with grief, shock, and disbelief when things don't go as planned.
First of all, understand that while science has evolved to give us incredible insight into pregnancy and IVF technologies, there is still a human element. Success rates of pregnancy through IVF are good, and can even be great, but they are not absolute. Failed transfers can and do happen. This does not mean that you will never achieve pregnancy or that it's a lost cause to continue trying.
As the days and weeks progress, you may notice that your surrogate is distancing herself from you a bit, and may begin to wonder if she's having a hard time dealing with the failed transfer. As a result, you may begin to give her some space to deal with her feelings.
The truth is, she is very likely feeling some level of guilt, wondering if something she did or did not do was the cause of the failed transfer, and wondering if you may be blaming her. Those emotions, and even her respect of your sadness, will typically cause a surrogate to back off from her previous level of communication. The distancing, often done out of respect, can lead to unintentional hurt feelings.
Surrogates generally follow all instructions from the doctor and their actions play no role in the success or failure of the transfer. However, they still blame themselves. When met with silence from their Intended Parents, surrogates may begin to wonder if you're blaming them, too. In the weeks that follow a failed transfer, try to use empathy to understand that the failed transfer is hard on the surrogate, as well. Right now she needs to know that she has not lost your trust. The best way to do this is to continue communicating with her. You may find that the bond you share grows deeper and more substantial through the heartache–not just celebratory times.
From experience we know that most relationship issues tend to self-regulate as the next cycle gets underway. While you may find that you're more reserved this time, you will also find that you're excited to try again, and that your surrogate is excited as well.
Also understand that it is acceptable to take time and really allow yourself to feel whatever emotions you may have as a result of the failed transfer. If you need to talk things through with your IVF doctor or your case specialist, understand that it is appropriate to reach out to these people and ask whatever questions you may have.

I have been assigned to work with a colleague on an assignment and have been asked to keep an eye on him. This is not a position with which I am wholly comfortable. We have different skill sets and, whilst I am capable of managing the development of an RFP response, working my way through the intricacies of network design and infrastructure is certainly not one of my strengths. I am conscious of my own "developmental needs" am am therefore somewhat reluctant to point out those of a colleague.
Before Christmas I had made some enquiries about this assignment with our Legal and Regulatory Team and they had responded with some clear guidance.* Before I could handle this my colleague had simply chucked the mail over the fence to the Project Manager with a one line e-mail that basically said "what do you think?" I inwardly cursed at this lacklustre approach, completed an impact analysis of the guidance and set out the next steps we needed to take. I described these as "my thoughts" and sent them over to him copying our manager.
The net result of this was that a call was set up using my bullet points as an agenda and I received a call from my Boss. He advised that he had chuckled at my colleague's half arsed approach and then blatant use of my analysis to structure the follow-up call. I am pleased to be doing well at work but I am not comfortable to be treading over others, however inadvertently, as I progress.
The rest of the working day was reasonably quiet and I managed a circuit of the Three Miler early in the afternoon. Little progress was made on the Enfield although the head steady bar was loosely attached and trial fit of the rear hub took place. I plan to have the tyres fitted tomorrow so the rear hub and wheel may actually be in place later in the week. I carried out some research over the weekend about the possibility of purchasing a set of replacement forks from India. It appears that The Shitter is somewhat peculiar in the front fork department and also an Export Only model. As a result it may be necessary to purchase replacement fork sliders and re-use the original fork stanchions … hopefully more news on this tomorrow.
And finally to the title of today's Journal entry … tonight was TP's works Christmas Do and I was required to collect him from the pub sometime after midnight. I was eventually called by one of his mates at one o'clock and was advised that he was "unwell". I had the foresight to take a bucket with me and soon had a very drunk son, smelling faintly of vomit, sat in the back of the car. Once at home we managed to remove his outer clothes and decided that he was better left downstairs rather than in his room … as a result he spent the night curled up on the dogs' bed with a duvet thrown over him.
---* Clear Guidance from the L&R Team is a bloody miracle in itself. Previous encounters with them have usually resulted in the mindset best summarised as why did I bother!

WELLFLEET — The Cape Cod National Seashore is poised to trade a potential million-dollar property on Long Pond for a much lower valued property that will be flooded by the Herring River Restoration Project.
Rebecca Rosenberg's property on Way #672, also known as Snake Creek Road, will be inundated when the tidal flow in the Herring River estuary is gradually increased as part of the largest salt marsh restoration project in New England. Seashore officials propose to give her a Seashore-owned house at 235 Buttry Way in exchange for the taking of her home by eminent domain. But before Rosenberg moves in, her lawyer wants an amendment to the Cape Cod National Seashore Act, which requires an act of Congress.
Attorney Ben Zehnder represents Rosenberg, who is director of the town's recreation dept. He said this week that the amendment would alter the definition of "improved property" in the Seashore. According to the 1961 law that established the Seashore, houses within it that were built before Sept. 1, 1959 were allowed to remain in private ownership and designated "improved" properties. Houses built after 1959 were designated "unimproved" properties and were leased to their owners and eventually taken by the Seashore after a predetermined period.
The Buttry Way house, built in 1960, is thus in the unimproved category and was taken by the Seashore in 2000 from the previous owner, Manya Gussack.
Zehnder wants Congress to change the definition of "improved property" to include those that are part of land swaps, to ensure Rosenberg's rights to the Long Pond lot. U.S. Rep. Bill Keating introduced the necessary legislation last year and it has been referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources and its Subcommittee on Federal Lands.
"Our request to the Seashore as part of the transaction was to obtain federal legislation to change the definition of improved property to include 'a property that is exchanged for an improved property,' " Zehnder said. "The risk the Rosenbergs run if they swap the old lot for the new one is that they're no longer protected against eminent domain."
Improved properties in the Seashore have certificates of suspension of condemnation, certifying that the government cannot take possession of the parcel even though it is inside a national park.
With a Republican-controlled Congress, however, Zehnder is unsure when the bill might come to a vote. Although the amendment is not controversial, Democrat-sponsored bills are infrequently moved out of committee.
"There will be a collective sigh of surprise and relief when it happens," Zehnder said.
The Seashore administration's path forward, on the other hand, is simple. Supt. Brian Carlstrom said making the swap is within its jurisdiction.
"We are acting within the designated authority we already have," he said.
The scale of the swap is small enough to be permitted after notifying Congressional appropriation committees, according to Seashore officials. If the committees do not object within 30 days, the swap will be approved. Both properties are just over one acre, although the Buttry Way house is about 400 square feet larger than Rosenberg's.
According to Seashore planner Lauren McKean, land swaps are not unprecedented. Several swaps have occurred between the Seashore and private land owners since the Seashore was created, she said, though it is not clear that any of them involved houses.
Rosenberg could not be reached for comment this week, but in a 2016 interview with the Banner she said she has known about the potential flooding of her property since 2000, when engineers recognized that it is at a low point in the Herring River basin. Other options beside the swap, including moving or raising the house, were deemed infeasible. Because the Seashore could not compensate the Rosenbergs for the taking monetarily, she said, they proposed a land swap.
(A house next door to Rosenberg's on Snake Hill Road, owned by Gerald and Hila Feil and similarly threatened with inundation, was purchased by the Seashore last year for $310,000.)
The Seashore presented Rosenberg with four possible houses as swaps in 2009, she said. She needed a year-round, easily accessible home, she said, and the house on Long Pond fit the bill. She said she could not remember what the other three options were.
In the 2016 interview with the Banner, Rosenberg said she was sad to leave the place where she grew up, the house her family has owned since 1966. "I love my family house," she said. "We want to stay there."
At first glance, the exchange of the two properties seems like a fair trade. The Rosenberg property at 70 Way #672 is currently assessed at $578,600. The Buttry Way property is assessed at $578,400.
But Wellfleet Assessor Nancy Vail said the house on Long Pond is currently devalued by 50 percent because of its unimproved status. If the Seashore act and the swap go through, the valuation of the property on Long Pond "will go up to $1.2 million or more," Vail said. Far from the busy public beach on the west end of the pond, 235 Buttry Way has its own beach with a beautiful view of Long Pond and a quiet atmosphere.
McKean said that Rosenberg would be able to resell the property after the swap, which will likely occur within the next six months.

Route 66 in the News
Motel Gets Grant
2013-08-15 19:20:52
KINGMAN, Ariz. - Kingmans Hill Top Motel is getting a renovation. It was recently awarded Arizonas only National Park Service Route 66 grant.
The motel has been around since the early 1950s. Notable guests include Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh who stayed four nights in February 1995.
Motel owner Dennis Schroeder plans to use the $20,000 grant to replace most of the motels 30-year-old air conditioning units.
"It's a premium product, and if we hadn't have done this this way, we probably would have upgraded over time replacing the wall furnaces and the air conditioners with air conditioners that have heating and cooling capability in them," Schroeder said.
Since 2001, the Park Service has given grants towards the preservation of businesses on or along the historic Route 66. Recipients must match the grants amount to get the funds. Past Arizona grants have gone to a Route 66 rest stop in Flagstaff and the roof of a sundries store in Seligman.
