Rev 1.4 2006.04.06
Last month we showed you a pictorial on how zoanthids can morph due to a variety of conditions. That article focused on lighting changes titled: Zoanthid morphing focusing on Lights. This month, we focus on another type of morphing zoanthid change!
Have you ever looked at your zoanthids and asked yourself "are these [insert name here]?" or "they cant be X because those don't have speckles all over them and mine do."
Well don't go and try to give those speckled zoa's a new name yet! Some zoanthids will become speckled under different lighting. This speckling is most common in Protopalyathoa type zoanthids. It is caused by high intensity lighting such as certain metal halides or straight 10k powercompacts and or VHO bulbs with a lack of actinic supplementation. The color of the speckling is typically a greenish tint or white. Speckling can be just a few random dots as in Figure 1, Figure 4, and Figure 6, or it can be very heavy and make the polyp look almost white as shown in Figure 3!
Keep in mind that some protopalyathoa's are naturally speckled! Just because you have a purple paly with dots all over it doesn't necessarily mean that you have a PPE (purple people eater) on your hands.
The easiest way to tell if your lights are the reason your zoa's are speckled is to look at the new growth. If your new growth is not speckled then your lighting is the cause and you should move the zoa's if you do not desire the light induced speckling. Figure 2 shows new solid color growth on the lower polyps coming from a speckled colony. If however, the new growth is speckled then that is the natural color of your zoanthid and moving it in or out of light will not have an effect on the speckles.
In this article I am going to focus on PPE protopalyathoa's for this is the coral I have done my lighting experiments on.
I noticed when I first received my PPE's five years ago they were a nice solid color. I placed them under my PC lighting high up in the tank. Months later when I ordered new bulbs, the new actinic replacement was received broken. I sent it off for a replacement and ran just 10k white PC's until the replacement came in. After a month (yes there were some problems getting a replacement and it took a long time), I finally got the new actinic. During that month the PPE's became so speckled the centers were almost completely white similar to those shown in Figure 3! At the time I attributed the changed color to the adjustment from the ocean to my tank.
With the new bulbs in place new growth started to appear, but it was not at all speckled, nor did they start to speckle after several months.
This got me wondering: Why they did this? How I could make the speckles go away? Beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder, and in this case I liked the look without the speckling.
I cut up a portion of my colony and distributed them to a few friends, I also sold some colonies to others in the US.
I kept my colony under 50/50 PC combo lighting for several years until I changed to 150 watt metal halide lighting. I put a colony in a friends tank with 250 watt metal halide lights that I was watching while he was away in the military and another colony in a tank with VHO lighting. My tank and the 250 watt tank both were using the same salt, 2 part additive and water from the same RO/DI. Both tanks also kept the water parameters as close to the same as possible to assure no other variable was the cause of the speckling.
Under my PC lighting the coral grew fine and I had no more speckling as long as the actinics remained on. When I turned the actinics off for 2 weeks and ran just the 10k I started to notice speckles popping up again!
Under my friends 250 watt MH 14k lighting, I placed the colony up high and they speckled very quickly. When I placed them off to the side in the sand the speckling stopped.
Under the VHO tank they never speckled no matter where the colony was placed. That tank was never experimented on with just actinics vs. 10k, nor was I able to keep a check on water parameters.
When I changed my bulbs over to 150 watt 14k metal halides I never had anymore major speckling. I'd get a few speckles here and there but the colony remains directly under my halide about halfway down in the tank.
I got reports on a few of the frags I sold as well. All of them seem to produce the same results. One person with 400W metal halide lighting had a "problem" with speckling all over his colony even in the sand bed until he put it off to the side and under the shade of an acro. The new growth stopped speckling at that point.
No one has yet to report that the speckling had gone away once the lighting situation was corrected. It seems that once a colony speckles, those polyps will never recover the original coloration. It is a permanent color change but does not seem to effect the health of the coral in any way. I still have the colony from 5 years ago and it is very clear which polyps were around during the days without actinic PC lighting. (see if you can guess which polyps were around 5 years ago from pic Figure 1 or Figure 2)
Ways to prevent speckling:
- Keep the colony under a tank with actinics. No white lights only.
- If you are running 250-400 watt metal halide lighting keep the colony on the sandbed and not directly under the halide.
Here are some other pics of speckling in action. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the 'Green Stardust PE' which was originally named due to the speckling!:
I hope you've enjoyed this photo log of a Zoa speckling in action! If you'd like to comment on this article, please use the 'Contact Us' link at the right. Be sure to indicate if you'd like it appended to this article.

Oh Monday how I despise you (unless you are a long weekend of course and I don't have to work) but nothing gets my day started like some Starbucks. This morning I kept it simple though and just got coffee, unlike most mornings where I'll have some sort of specialty coffee.
Sunday night I couldn't understand why I couldn't shake this throbbing headache I had until I realized that when driving home the boyfriend didn't stop for us to get breakfast, see he will only stop at Dunkin Donuts and they all had lines, so by the time we made it home it was lunch time and I wasn't thinking about coffee. I was fine for all of softball and even into eating dinner, but a little after dinner this headache that spanned the whole head came on. Lesson learned for right now!
Work was pretty uneventful, I brought in my lunch again which made me feel good about my eating choices, also is a great way to clean out the fridge and I didn't snack on the free food in the kitchen. Dinner was also good as the boyfriend made a buffalo chicken calzone and even though I could have ate half of it since it was so good I only had three small portions and then filled up with salad.
The only small bummer to my day was when I got home and realized I didn't feel safe running outside. Recently there have been girls kidnapped in a safer area than where I live in the daytime, so the thought of going out with headphones in didn't really appeal to me and definitely didn't appeal to the boyfriend as he said I could go run loops around the park (which would be beyond boring!) but that was about it. So instead I cleaned the apartment again like I use to do every Monday. Instead of taking me 2 hours to do with the boyfriends help this only took me 45 minutes to do, there really is something about maintence in cleaning that is much easier!
4 more days until Maine!
Do you run outside your house?
I use to when I lived in Brighton, but now that I am in Chelsea I don't. I can't wait until I can do this again.

Because you now know the many different versions and kinds with the retro sideboard melbourne, what one should you choose? the decision to pick a qualified retro sideboard melbourne depends on your needs, the element of the room, and customized for specific cultures of the place. As an example, when you've got a smallish apartment with quite a limited space for any lounge room, it is possible going to find the sectionals or even the small sofa rather than full sofa set. Or once you have kids at your house, you are likely to choose the safe bit of retro sideboard melbourne (such as being the one created from leather) instead those made of the heavy metal or stone.
Seeking the retro sideboard melbourne need to be adapted on the purpose of space. As an example, living room. Provided it's function as a place to assemble along with speak together, it's good to pick out a cozy sofa and slightly big and this relies on the amount of families. Choose also furniture that is immune to the chance of food or beverage spills. As to beautifying making a clean and elegant impression, you can add special furniture to keep the object.

A variety of places that come with furniture with diverse forms as well as the expense is also varied, additionally, it according on your wishes. If you need the gear looks simple then you can definitely buy home furniture by using a cheap price and the opposite way round if you want a more elegant then an price was a bit more to eat. The biggest thing is we have to determine the ideal budget for the good therefore we must be consistent with not purchasinggoods that be more pricey than the budget though we really enjoy the goods. All home furniture must have a great shape and design and interesting. However, problems arise when not every individual is chaning to combine the pieces of furniture while using room concept. So that even a superb furniture does not guarantee your own home space will look stunning along with appealing.
On top of that, to think about the shape and size of your home, in selecting furniture we have to also take notice of the temperature of the room that will be helpful to squeeze furniture. Much more will affect taking care of your home furnishings. For furniture created from wood, you ought to stick it inside a cool room. When it comes to furniture created from glass, you can put it in a slightly hot room. When you can pick the right retro sideboard melbourne design, this can give a great effect around the room in your house, and will certainly attract a persons vision of anybody who saw it. Despite the fact that the shape of your dwelling is much less large, if you typically organise your living area and choose the appropriate retro sideboard melbourne, it is possible to still feel your own home senses roomy and cozy.
retro sideboard melbourne is another requirement that is always essental to all homes. Without furniture, a bedroom only will seem unfilled and appearance unpretentious. Consequently, the presence of furnishings are viewed as vitally important. There are many significant things to know about choosing the furniture. Choosing furniture that fits the property concept. Because the thought of the home is very decisive what furniture would work to fill our homes. Before selecting furniture we need to adjust the length of the pieces of furniture design with the length of our homeroom. How big is the pieces of furniture that doesn't fit with the shape and condition of our home might make the space of the home to appear full. As an example for the technique of a simple property in that case in settling on keep away from large house furniture because it may eat a great deal of places.
Managing the retro sideboard melbourne layout plus agreement for any increased appeal of insides interior decoration just isn't a hassle-free feat. On the other hand to what you consider, you will discover lot of different aspects to consider about. It is not just about the design but also the general design and style aspect and make a whoa effect with the most convenient and the a lot of simple arrangement. You won't need to often be a skilled indoor decorator to produce a fashionable personal place of your own. If you know the important aspects of the repair, you should be able to generate an extraordinary outlook that is similar to the techniques designed by a specialist decorator. Finding the basic of the retro sideboard melbourne isn't as hard just like you think.
You possibly can choose the retro sideboard melbourne which has a vintage or even modern day design and style. A vintage design is often created from wood by using a natural shade, including the shade of real wood brownish. While current designs typically use a great deal of materials created from aluminum that's along with wood design. Although los angeles cpa types, make sure you choose furniture with finishing quality and good upholstery, including varnish materials and techniques, potential to deal with dirt and dust, easy care, and color quality. For more age along with endurance, it is possible to pick wood furniture. In combination with healthy opinion, real wood has the benefit of improved strength, compared to many other materials including aluminum or even real wood particles.

AWS – Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
What's AWS VPC?
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables you to launch Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources into a virtual network that you've defined. This virtual network closely resembles a traditional network that you'd operate in your own data center, with the benefits of using the scalable infrastructure of AWS.
Figure 1 – AWS Virtual Private Cloud
AWS VPC provides us availabilities to
- Divide your private IP address range into one or more public or private subnet
- Control inbound and outbound access to and from individual instances
- Assign multiple IP address and attach multiple ENIs and EIPs to EC2 instances
- Bridge your VPC and your premise IT infrastructure with a VPN connect
- Specify your own private IP address range from any range you choose
What's wrong if we don't have VPC?
Before launch VPC Amazon still had Classic EC2 and other services but they have some disadvantages
- All instances, nodes and services are internet addressable. For example: a database node should not have any public internet hostname/IP.
- All instance, nodes and services are on a shared network, and addressable to each other. Having no public and private interface.
VPC Related Components
Figure 2 – VPC Related Components
Internet gateway
|The Amazon VPC side of connection to public internet. By default all instances in VPC cannot communicate with Internet, you must attach an Internet gateway to the VPC and ensuring that your instance have a public IP address to enable the availability to access to EC2 instance via internet connection.
VPC peering
|VPC peering is a networking connection between two VPCs that enables you to route traffic between them using private IP addresses.With VPC peering you cannot
VPN connection
|The VPN Connection helps to create connection that links your data center to VPC. In this scenario we must have
The address of external interface for your customer gateway must be a static address. Basically, you can establish multiple VPC connections to a single virtual private gateway from multiple customer gateways.
Customer gateway
Virtual private gateway
AWS Direct Connect
|Make easy to establish a dedicated network connection from your premise to AWS. Direct Connect helps to reduce your bandwidth costs, consistent network performance, establish private connection from premise IT infrastructure to VPC.
EC2 Instance
|Amazon EC2 presents a true virtual computing environment, allowing you to use web service interfaces to launch instances with a variety of operating systems, load them with your custom application environment, manage your network's access permissions, and run your image using as many or few systems as you desire.
Elastic IP Address
|An Elastic IP address (EIP) is a static IP address designed for dynamic cloud computing. With an EIP, you can mask the failure of an instance or software by rapidly remapping the address to another instance in your account. Your EIP is associated with your AWS account, not a particular instance, and it remains associated with your account until you choose to explicitly release it.
Route table
|Each subnet in your VPC must be associated with a route table; the table controls the routing for the subnet. A subnet can only be associated with one route table at a time, but you can associate multiple subnets with the same route table.Your VPC have main route table, if a given subnet doesn't associate with a particular route table, it uses the main route table.
Elastic network interface
|An elastic network interface (ENI) is a virtual network interface that you can attach to an instance in a VPC. You can create a network interface, attach it to an instance, detach it from an instance and attach it to another one (ENIs have a lifetime that is independent of any particular EC2 instance).Another important thing is a single EC2 can now be attached to two ENIs, each one on a distinct subnet.
VPC subnet
|Subnet is a segment of a VPC's IP address range from a range you select. If a subnet's traffic is routed to an Internet gateway, the subnet is known as a public subnet. Otherwise it's a private subnet.When work with subnet you need to consider about subnet sizing. With AWS VPC, it allows us to manage the size between a /28 (16 IP addresses) net-mask and /16 (65536 IP addresses) net-mask.
Security group
|Security group acts as a virtual firewall for your instance. It helps to control inbound and outbound traffic. For each group we can manage rules that control the inbound traffic to instances, and separate set of rules that control the outbound traffic.Basically, security group operates the rules at instance level and it evaluates the rules before deciding whether to allow traffic or not. One more important thing is security group supports allow rules only.
|Network ACL
|Similar with Security group but ACL operates at the subnet level. It supports both allow and deny rules.Network ACL processes rules in number order when deciding whether to allow traffic or not. And it applies to all instances in a given subnet.
Availability Zone
|Availability Zone is isolated, but in a region are connected through low latency link. Within VPC, when use create a given subnet you must determine which Availability Zone it will associate with.By launching EC2 instances, creating subnets in separate Availability Zones (AZ), we can protect our applications from the failure of a single location.
Route 53
|You can use Route 53 to manage internal DNS hostname for your resources (application servers, database servers or web servers). Using custom internal DNS names rather than IP addresses or AWS-provided name has benefit of
Elastic Load Balancing (ELB)
|Be used to monitor and route traffic to your EC2 instances launched within VPC. You must crate and attach an Internet gateway (IGW) to your VPC if want to enable communication between the Internet and the load balancer in your subnet.ELB just supports Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), IPv6 is currently not available.
Four main VPC options
AWS provides 4 basic options for network architectures, you can create your infrastructure with few clicks and few minutes.
Figure 3 – Few clicks to create your own IT infrastructure
|The obvious choice when
|VPC with a Single Public Subnet Only
|VPC with Public and Private Subnets
|VPC with Public and Private Subnets and Hardware VPN Access
|VPC with a Private Subnet Only and Hardware VPN Access
Figure 4 – VPC with VNP Connections
The common cases of using VPC
- Host a PCI-compliant e-commerce website
- Build a development and test environment
- Plan for disaster recovery and business continuity
- Extend your data center into the cloud
- Create branch office and business unit networks
VPC Pricing
There's no additional charge for AWS VPC, you just need to pay for VPC's related components if you use them.
In case you create a Hardware VPN Connection to your VPC using a Virtual private gateway, you are charged for each VPN Connection-hour (about $0.05 per hour). Amazon also charge you data transferred via VPN Connection (about $0.01 per GB).
You also need to consider about VPC limitations before using it, I list here the most important things only and please refer here for more detail information.
|VPCs per region
|This limit can be increased upon request. The limit for Internet gateways per region is directly correlated to this one. Increasing this limit will increase the limit on Internet gateways per region by the same amount.
|Internet gateways per region
|This limit is directly correlated with the limit on VPCs per region. You cannot increase this limit individually; the only way to increase this limit is to increase the limit on VPCs per region. Only one Internet gateway can be attached to a VPC at a time.
|Virtual private gateways per region
|Only one virtual private gateway can be attached to a VPC at a time. This limit can be increased upon request.
|Elastic IP addresses per region for each AWS account
|This is the limit for the number of VPC Elastic IPs you can allocate within a region. This is a separate limit from the EC2 Elastic IP address limit. This limit can be increased upon request.
|Expiry time for an unaccepted VPC peering connection request
|168 hours
|This limit can be increased via special request to AWS Support.
Best practices for using VPC
- Automate the deployment of your infrastructure
- Use Multi-AZ deployments in VPC for high availability
- Use security groups and network ACLs
- Control access with IAM users and policies
- Use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the health of your VPC instances and VPN link
- Amazon VPC
- Should I use Amazon's AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
- Your Customer Gateway
- Extend your IT infrastructure with Amazon VPC

Deborah Hay Score Production Session No. 1
Deborah Hay
Score Production Session No. 1
After recording the solo adaptations and the trio (April & October 2011), the score team divided the work into mainly two parts. One part, lead by Florian Jenett, was analytic and included the extraction of the pathway of each performance using computer vision and the division of each performance into the its different sections according to the written score. The other part was Amin Weber's intuitive response to the No Time To Fly written score using his 3-D graphic animation tools.
From 11-13 June 2012, they spent two days reviewing material and making interviews with Deborah Hay & Jeanine Durning in Frankfurt, DE.
Having the pathway and the marker (or time variance of each section) data for each of the performance makes it possible to study the differences between each version of each solo of each performer and the differences between the solos of the three performers. To the right is a visualisation of all pathways of all 21 solos filmed in April laid on top of each other. Download this PDF for a closer look at this image and some other graphic sketches discussed during these two days.
Florian Jenett said "time is the overall access we are hanging everything off of" and knowing when each performer starts each section of the score makes it possible to extract that particular section of a particular performance from the web of pathways in the above overlay visualisation. To the right is a screenshot of one of the tools (developed in the programming language processing) created for looking at each pathway separately. Download this PDF to have a look at another example, in this case for a section called "road".
Amin Weber showed several studies he had done in working toward his own 'digital adaptation' of the No Time To Fly score. Deborah's feedback was that she liked a centre or vocal point in space and clear geometry. To see Amin's final result & gain insight into his working process visit the digital adaptation on score website.
Deborah and Jeanine were also interviewed on the following topics: 1. The cellular body; 2. Making the piece and the score; 3. Elements in the score; 4. The dancers/ performers; 5. Audiences (what they see); 6. More on Questions/ Tools. These interviews form the core material introducing Deborah Hay's choreographic concepts to the visitor to the score website.
Deborah Hay's Process Documentation Pages:
Motion Bank Phase Two is evolving in stages. Currently we are improving our on-line annotation and publishing systems (MoSys) for eventual public release to join PM2GO. We are building a network of choreographers, dancers and researchers interested in using MoSys for their own purposes or adding resources to Motion Bank. We are organising Choreographic Coding Labs in collaboration with new partners worldwide. These Labs bring together creative coders interested in translating choreography and dance into new digital forms. In addition, we are supporting the continued research of the International Education Workgroup. Sign up for the newsletter to be kept informed.

The Repeating Rear CrossOn a Rear Cross, the dog switches Flanks with the behind her. From clock to counter clockwise Flank or vice versa. Taken directly from the canine agility world, the Rear Cross is a foundational flatwork skill for team movement. It allows the handler to move the dog around the field in stylish fashion. On the Rear Cross, your dog will... is a flatwork pattern for training and performance. It allows dog and handler to move around the field as a team connecting on well timed and placed creative throws that end in leaping catches. The Rear CrossA Cross is an canine agility term that describes a change of working sides. Your dog moves from your left to your right (Heel to Side) or from Clock to Counter. Crosses are labeled be the relationship of handler to the dog. A Front Cross is a cross with the handler in front of the dog. A Rear Cross has... has the dog changing the working side by turning away from the handler.
For Big Leaping
The Repeating Rear Cross is quickly becoming our favorite practical leaping drill here at Pawsitive Vybe. It allows dog and handler a very smooth hook up with highly predictable position and motion which helps to create opportunities for the leaping catch.
Similar to a Zig ZagA Zig Zag is a series of catches in smooth succession that forces the dog to move back and forth across the field. Usually performed at a distance of 8-20 yards, the Zig Zag is a skill that highlights teamwork, throwing, and leaping ability. It is also a tremendous leaping drill that can be used to teach a dog to..., the Repeating Rear Cross has the dog reversing field in front of the handler. The only real difference is that the dog is turning or arcing on the Repeating Rear Cross instead of slamming on the brakes and turning around like in the Zig Zag. The habitual slamming on the brakes, skidding and spinning to a stop with the intent to spring to the next disc can be detrimental to very high drive dogs, as it can take the dog over threshold and pit prey drive against physical ability and self preservation. This softer line can be a huge benefit to dogs who run too hard or are too aggressive in pursuit of the disc, physically, mentally, and in terms of leaping performance.
How do I do it?
Set up a Working FlankThe Working Flank is a moving position. On a Working Flank the dog is out to your side some distance and holds position, moving with you as you move around the field. The Working Flank happens on both the clockwise and counter clockwise flank. The clockwise flank is out to the handler's left with dog and handler oriented in a... and cue the Rear Cross. When the dog commits to the move, deliver a disc two to three and a half strides away from the finish of the cross. This will set a line out of the Rear Cross and will help your dog maintain the arcing and turning movement that separates the Rear Cross from the Spin or Twist.
MarkShort for "Positive Marker", a Mark is a word or signal given at the exact moment a desired behavior is performed. It's like a clicker. Mark can also mean the act of marking behaviors. "Did you Mark that?" asks if the positive marker was given to tell the dog he was correct. When playing disc it is important to Mark... the catch, and reinforce the catch with a cued Drop. Mark and reinforce the cued Drop with the Rear Cross cue, which is reinforced with another well placed disc. Experiment and repeat the Repeating Rear Cross using throws intended to make the dog leap and dial in a good pattern that elicits purposeful leaps on discs. Once the pattern is established and leaping becomes a habit, go ahead and add some flashy throws to spice things up.
For Flowing Disc Management
A Repeating Rear Cross can also be used for Disc ManagementDisc Management is a disc dog term that describes management and organization of discs throughout the routine. Disc Management is a scored category in most disc dog freestyle organizations and has great impact upon the flow and energy level of the routine. A good rule of thumb is to carry 3 discs in your hands at all times. Disc Management.... The Rear Cross is a great tool for team movement, and team movement moves the dog around the field just as well as a thrown disc, perhaps even better.
Instead of sprinting to another pile of discs on the field when you are out of discs, the traditional disc management solution to a lack of discs on hand, try checking in with your dog, hooking up with the Working FlankOut to the side of the handler is the Flank. If the dog is out to the handler's right or left the dog is on Flank. If the dog is moving with the handler the dog is on the Working Flank.... and Rear Cross and delivering a well planned and executed leaping catch while steadily moving towards a pile of discs. It doesn't really take any more time and it gives you a good chance to get good a look at the field — take inventory and get your bearings while delivering big performance — it's a win-win.
The Rear Cross affords the handler time and control while maintaining a strong connection to the dog — Time, control, and connection leading to a leaping catch. It's also quite portable. It can be done on the move or on the run. Use a Repeating Rear Cross to cover ground and get to more discs. It's hard to find a more commanding and mature way to manage discs than connecting with your dog and throwing leaping catches; well executed, the Repeating Rear Cross creates seamless, elegant, and beautiful disc management.
Working Off the Drop
A big part of this pattern is the ability to leverage all the skills as cookies. At Pawsitive Vybe we aim to turn the cued Drop into a Secondary ReinforcerA Secondary Reinforcer is a conditioned reinforcer that gets it's value from it's proximity to a Primary Reinforcer. The "primary reinforcers" in the game of disc are Bite and Chase, and Secondary Reinforcers can include Drop, Give, Next, and certain Set Up Moves. Secondary reinforcers can be leveraged and used as cookies as long as they continue to be paired... — the cued Drop becomes a cookie. If we create a cookie out of the cued Drop, it makes the Repeating Rear Cross one big Yes-fest!™
Using the cued Drop as a starting point or rally point after a mistake makes for efficient training and frees the team from the inherent pressure of getting the game going or recovering from an error. Marking and reinforcing the cued Drop creates successful links in long disc dog behavior chains. The cued Drop can be leveraged as success and a cookie if attention is drawn to it. Recover and restart training efficiently and without pressure, just cue a Drop.
In order to get started playing, the dog has to have a disc in his mouth. It doesn't matter how it gets there, just a disc in mouth so you can cue the Drop. If the dog has to have a disc in his mouth to make the game happen, it is likely that he will catch it when you throw it — they are efficient little buggers — and at the very least the dog will go and get it, as that is how the game works.

One of the biggest mistakes a person can make when relocating to another country is to expect everything from "home" to be in their new home… which is why, in attempt to never be the cranky ex-pat, I came to Buenos Aires happily leaving behind the land of crunchy peanut butter, maple syrup and In N'Out… and embraced membrillo, panqueques con dulce de leche and parrillas. (Ok, ok, I'll come clean: we came back from the U.S. this Christmas with our suitcases stocked with maple syrup and some crunchy Jiffy… but we never once complained that we couldn't find it here!) 🙂
There was one thing about Argentina which shocked us: it is not a wine tasting culture. With all the beautiful wines the country produces, we (naively) assumed that Buenos Aires would be filled with wine bars and tasting rooms. We envisioned tastings to be a weekly thing so that we could learn as much as possible about Argentine wines during our time here… turns out, we were so very wrong. Simply put, it is just not a part of Argentine culture. I'm ok with that… I'm just… shocked!
Thankfully, there is 0800 Vino, a premium wine company run by sommelier Nigel Tollerman. Tollerman left the UK nearly a decade ago and has spent the last nine years in Buenos Aires building up an exquisite collection of fine Argentine wines. To our delight, he also holds small tastings in his cellar from time to time. A wine tasting fix without traveling all the way to Mendoza… phew!
Our first tasting with 0800 Vino was a Malbec and Torrontes tasting where we sampled six of each of the varietals which are classically Argentine. It was a wonderful event and we couldn't wait to return. This week, we had the opportunity to attend an Enrique Foster tasting and we are so excited to share our experience with you.
Enrique Foster is located in the Lujan de Cuyo region of Mendoza, Argentina's primary wine producing region. They are best known for the high-tech gravity-flow facilities, which are a state-of-the-art way of moving grapes and wines throughout the fermentation process. (Some argue that moving the grapes in traditional ways–baskets, tubs, etc–disturbs them, crushing them too early and releasing unpleasant flavors into the wines).
Foster's motto is "Just Malbec", so it was no surprise that each wine we sampled came from Argentina's signature grape. We began with the "Lois", a sparkling wine made from Malbec vines that are over 30 years old. Those familiar with sparkling wines and champagne know that most are made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier grapes (see our article on sparkling wines to learn a little more) so it was a nice surprise to sample a sparkling wine made from Malbec. The result is a nice, refreshing sparkling without the toasty, high-in-yeast characteristics of a champagne, and without the over-apply, highly-citrusy characteristics of a California sparkling wine. It was a nice middle ground wine, and at $12 (US) a bottle, not a bad deal.
We moved on to the "Pink", a rose wine made from (surprise!) Malbec.
"Pink" is a nice, floral wine with good acidity and notes of strawberry and cherry, and it would pair well with salads, blue and brie cheeses and the delicious pate and cucumber sandwich I just had at Oui Oui.
The first traditional Malbec we tasted was the "Ique", which was quite a shocker: it has absolutely no oak presence. An unoaked Malbec is nearly unheard of, so we were eager to try it! The wine was what we expected from a young, unoaked red wine: high acidity, lush red fruits on the nose, and incredibly soft tannins and a peppery finish. It was a great wine to sample in our quest to better understand how oak imparts flavors into a wine (see our article on this relationship here).
We then sampled their Reserva Malbec, which is aged in French oak for 12 months and then aged for another 9 months in the bottle before it is released. The differences between the two wines were astounding: the Reserva was lush, with ripe fruits, a full body, rich tannins and a long finish. It was amazing to see how oak and aging can add such complecity and beauty to a wine.
We sampled a few more wines, thanks to Nigel's generosity… but I think I'll save those for another post. 🙂 In the meantime, I encourage all Buenos Aires residents to check out 0800's website and/or store, and I highly recommend that those interested in wines check out the ones that we tried. The Lois is a great example of a nice, easy-drinking sparkling wine made from a not-so-traditional sparkling wine grape, and the Ique is a fabulous example of what wine is like before it meets oak. Try the Ique side-by-side with the Reserva to see what a difference 12 months and a little French oak can make. 🙂
Thanks to Nigel and the 0800 crew for their hospitality! I am looking forward to the next tasting!

Child Protection
Shetland Inter-Agency Child Protection Procedures - August 2015 [PDF, 2734KB]
Child Protection Committee (CPC) aims to make sure all aspects of child protection work are done as well as possible so that children and young people are kept safe from harm from abuse and neglect. We think all children and young people should get the help they need when they need it. This means doing three things.
1. Picking up early on children and young people's needs and supporting families to meet these. This helps prevent child abuse and neglect.
Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) in Shetland is the way we do this. Services that are available to everyone help with this.
For more information go to: http://www.shetland.gov.uk/children_and_families/GIRFEC.asp
In Shetland the Children and Young People's Strategic Planning Group oversees a plan to make sure this happens.
To view the current plan for 2017-2020 click here
2. Providing good quality timely responses to the needs of children and young people at risk of abuse and neglect so that they are protected and kept safe.
CPC's work concentrates on this aspect of safeguarding. Detailed information about the work done by CPC each year is published in its annual report. To view the most recent Annual Report click here
3. Meeting the needs of children and young people who have experienced abuse and neglect to help them recover from those adverse experiences.
Services that are available to everyone help with this, as well as more targeted or specialist services to meet particular needs. Each child or young person will have their own plan setting out the support they need and how it will be provided.
Shetland Child Protection Committee (CPC) is a partnership with representation from:
- Shetland Islands Council
- NHS Shetland
- Police Scotland
- Scottish Children's Reporter Administration
- Shetland Children's Panel
- Voluntary Action Shetland
- Procurator Fiscal

GoTo.com Offers Tools Giving More Control to Advertisers
Page 1 of 1
Pasadena, CA-based GoTo.com, a provider of targeted pay-for-performance online advertising, launched a new suite of tools that enables Web sites to take direct control of their online marketing efforts.
The new tools include: a five-minute sign-up process; real-time bid management; the ability to quickly add, modify and delete search terms online; a search term suggestion utility; and daily online activity reports.
The pay-for-placement search engine operation said advertisers now can exercise direct control over traffic, targeting, speed and cost-effectiveness of their campaigns.
Advertisers can control the amount of traffic they receive by proactively managing their search terms and bids, the company said. Advertisers also can fine tune their targeting by precisely selecting search terms and they can sign up in just five minutes, get listed and begin receiving targeted traffic within three days. By paying only for the traffic they want at the price they choose, advertisers can eliminate the risk of spending money without getting traffic.
In April, GoTo said it generated more than 100 million searches across its network and delivered more than 10 million clickthroughs to advertisers. Advertisers bid on search terms which are relevant to their sites. Each advertiser pays GoTo.com the amount of its bid whenever a consumer clicks on an advertiser's listing in the search results.

Twelve powerful and entertaining drum corps took the field inside the RCA Dome tonight at the DCI Indianapolis major event. To continue the corps' 12 show winning streak, the Blue Devils (92.550) won tonight's competition, maintaining their lead ahead of the Cavaliers (91.950) and Phantom Regiment (89.950). The West Coast corps will now fly full speed ahead to the Drum Corps International World Championships with the highest score of the 2007 Summer Music Games Tour to date. "The members are really excited to go back home to perform in California," said David Gibbs, executive director of the Blue Devils. "We really think the show is getting close to where it needs to be and we should be hitting our full stride by the time we get there." Also performing at tonight's competition in the dome were the Boston Crusaders (85.600), Colts (82.650), Spirit from JSU (81.300), Blue Stars (79.450), Madison Scouts (78.600), Southwind (76.100) and Pioneer (72.250). This was also the last competition of the season for the Colt Cadets (74.650) and Capital Sound (74.450). Tonight also marked the last drum corps competition in the RCA Dome as Lucas Oil Stadium which is currently under construction will take its place next year.
Blue Devils
With the exception of the Cavaliers and Boston Crusaders, all of tonight's competing Division I corps will now travel to Missouri to compete at the DCI Columbia event tomorrow evening at the University of Missouri's Memorial Stadium while on their way to their final stop at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Calif. "We have a game plan that we use every year and it's how we get better in the amount of time that we have," said Jeff Fiedler, director of the Cavaliers. "We've programmed a lot of time to clean our program in the next two weeks before all the fun begins in Pasadena."

Eight US states have just sued to stop the distribution of plans for 3D-printed weapons. But it may already be too late.
A multistate lawsuit, filed Monday afternoon, seeks to block a federal government settlement that would give the public access to downloadable plans for 3D-printed weapons, and on Tuesday, a Seattle judge granted a temporary restraining order against the 3D-printed gun plans -- despite the fact that they had already appeared online days earlier.
Shortly after the temporary restraining order was issued, links to download the files appear to be gone.
Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced the lawsuit, with Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Maryland, New York and the District of Columbia signing on.
"These downloadable guns are unregistered and very difficult to detect, even with metal detectors, and will be available to anyone regardless of age, mental health or criminal history," Ferguson said in a statement Monday.
Separately, 20 state attorneys general -- including those from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington state, as well as the District of Columbia -- sent a letter (PDF) to the State Department and the Department of Justice on Monday, asking them to immediately block the 3D-printed gun plans from appearing online.
Here's the letter in full:
President Trump's response
On Tuesday, President
. "I am looking into 3-D plastic guns being sold to the public," Trump tweeted. "Already spoke to NRA, doesn't seem to make much sense!"
I am looking into 3-D Plastic Guns being sold to the public. Already spoke to NRA, doesn't seem to make much sense!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 31, 2018
Trump's tweet doesn't make a lot of sense, though -- the issue isn't about whether guns are being sold to the public, and you can also print them out of metal.
In 2013, Cody Wilson, founder of weapon designer Defense Distributed, debuted the world's first 3D-printed gun. Two years later, Defense Distributed, which was joined by a gun rights organization, sued the State Department over the forced removal of the instruction manuals from the internet.
But last month, the State Department agreed to waive its prior restraint order against Wilson and Defense Distributed, allowing them to freely publish designs and other technical files, according to a press release from the Second Amendment Foundation. In the meantime, Wilson has reportedly been stockpiling new weapon designs, as well as working on a computer-controlled mill known as the Ghost Gunner that can automatically make functional AR-15 rifle parts out of a block of aluminum.
The State Department said it settled with Defense Distributed and SAF because the issues raised in the lawsuit won't be relevant to it in the near future when the Department of Commerce takes over the responsibility of regulating exports and manufacturing of commercially available firearms.
In a tweet Monday,
, "I am now being sued by at least 21 state attorneys general."
I am now being sued by at least 21 state attorneys general. If you want your Second Amendment online, THIS is the fight. Join me: https://t.co/vEBBktsKS6— Cody R. Wilson (@Radomysisky) July 30, 2018
"We are prepared to litigate," Wilson said in an emailed statement to CNET. "The American people have the unquestionable right to access this information."
The gun plans are already online
In the legal complaint, released Monday afternoon, the states argue that once the 3D-printed weapon plans have been published to the internet on Aug. 1, it will be "a bell that cannot be unrung."
But it turns out that Defense Distributed actually rang that bell before the lawsuit was filed. In an email, Wilson said he had uploaded the plans to the website on July 27 and that they were already available to download. Defense Distributed was initially planning to make the files available on Aug. 1.
Sure enough, CNET was able to download copies of plans for one gun from the website.
In a statement to CNET on Tuesday, Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen called out Defense Distributed for releasing the plans ahead of schedule, and President Trump for allegedly pretending not to be aware:
"It is inconceivable that Secretary of State Pompeo would have reversed course and allowed Defense Distributed to make these plans available on the internet without the president's knowledge and consent. As such, the Trump Administration is responsible for the situation we now face; Connecticut and our partner states will continue to pursue litigation to halt broader dissemination of these plans regardless of whatever the president may say on Twitter."
"While we are aware that there have been some downloads of the plans already, we nonetheless believe it is imperative to secure an injunction to prevent further, more widespread dissemination at this time and, perhaps more importantly, to prevent dissemination of any new plans for perhaps more advanced firearms in the future," he added.
On Monday, Wilson said his site was IP-blocked in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Los Angeles, meaning visitors with IP addresses in those places can't easily reach it. He also said the site had "been under attack" but that he was working on it. As of Tuesday morning, the site appears to be up.
On Tuesday afternoon, CNET can confirm that a Seattle judge granted a temporary nationwide restraining order against the State Department and Defense Distributed, and as of 4:30 p.m. PT, we're no longer seeing live download links on DEFCAD.com.
It's not clear whether Defense Distributed removed them voluntarily, was ordered to do so, or whether it's a glitch, but a spokesperson for the Washington State Attorney General told CNET that the judge's order made it illegal for the links to stay up: "The TRO makes it illegal to distribute these printable files. The judge was clear that he was not ordering anyone to stop, but continuing to do so would violate the law," she said.
Download counters at DEFCAD.com suggest the gun plans had already been downloaded over 20,000 times.

GP sets up private out-of-hours service
Diabetes to soar over obesity
The rising incidence of obesity will lead to a 54 per cent increase in the number of cases of diabetes by 2023, according to new Department of Health projections.
The department also predicts there will be increases of 28 per cent in hypertension, 18 per cent in heart attacks and 13 per cent in angina.
Danila Armstrong, a nutritionist at the department, unveiled the projections at the British Cardiac Society meeting in Manchester this week. She warned that unless the increases in obesity are reversed, the rates of chronic disease would continue to rise.
Complaints portal rejected
The GPC has objected to the concept of a single 'portal' through which patients would direct all complaints about NHS services.
In a submission to the Chief Medical Officer's review of revalidation and medical regulation, Dr Hamish Meldrum, GPC chair, said it would prefer patients to be able to decide where to direct a complaint. A portal was recommended by Dame Janet Smith in her final report to the Shipman Inquiry and is supported by the GMC.
The GPC also warned that introducing 'intimidating undertones' into revalidation, such as making the process something doctors pass or fail, would harm recruitment.
Charity planning GP clinics
A charity has announced plans to set up three GP clinics in east London to provide essential services for migrants, homeless people and other vulnerable groups, saying it wanted to improve access to mainstream health care and advice.
Karen McColl, director of Médicins du Monde UK, said some GPs had already volunteered to staff the clinics. She said: 'This project is not in any way meant to undermine the work of the NHS.'
The Healthcare Commission is assessing whether to grant the charity a licence to practise.
Curing 'sick man of Europe'
More emphasis on local primary care services is essential if Scotland is to shrug off its reputation as the 'sick man of Europe', a study for the Scottish Executive has concluded.
The report, which sets out a 20-year plan for the NHS in Scotland, recommended a 'preventive and anticipatory' approach, targeting deprived areas to reduce health inequalities and encouraging patients to self-care.
Author Professor David Kerr, a cancer specialist, also advocated a national IT system including electronic patient records, more diagnostics in primary care and concentrating complex care in fewer sites.
Obsessive disorders guide
NICE has published the second set of draft guidelines for consultation on obsessive-compulsive disorder and body dysmorphic disorder.
The consultation sets out a role for GPs and practice nurses in detection of the disorders, in educating patients and in discussing treatment options. It also provides guidance on providing support to patients and families and referral to other services.
The draft guidelines can be viewed at www.nice.org.uk
Heart death inequality wider
Inequalities between ethnic groups in deaths from heart disease are widening in the UK, an editorial in this week's BMJ warns.
Dr Sandeep Gupta, a consultant cardiologist at Whipps Cross University Hospital in London, said much more needed to be done to tackle heart disease in south Asians.

City of Boston Inspectional Services, Health Division, paid a visit to Dimitrio's House of Pizza at 1730 Dorchester Ave in Dorchester. The 31 violations found depict a food establishment that does not know what it means to be in business serving the public in a safe manner.
Raw foods next to/above cooked foods, no certified Person in Charge on site, mice droppings with openings in the foundation that let the mice in, rusty shelves, filthy cardboard covering shelves, unsealed shelving, equipment full of grease and more.
ISD's standard is to "fail" then give the establishment opportunity to correct the violations. This inspection warranted an immediate shutdown.

Bijoux, Brands and Broadway
It feels good to be back in Chennai after being away a whole month. But it also feels like it went by in the blink of an eye. A fun America trip that included great peoplea��old friends and new, discovering new places, and of course, amazing food. With the help of the locals, and several trusty apps, we got to sift out the a�?must-dosa�� from the rest. The highlights for me included School of Rock – The Musical, on Broadway, San Diegoa��s La Jolla beach and the all-new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood. And no Ia��m not too cool for corny photos (of which I have many).
In Chennai, it looks like things havena��t slowed down one bit, with a buzzing weekend and lots to choose from. Most of the swish set was at The Indian Luxury Expo, co-hosted by Wedding Vows, showcasing everything from makeup and cosmetics to luxury cars and bikes. Playing host were Vimmi Deepak and Madhurima George, members of the advisory board, along with Lakshmi Ravichander and Saraswati Krishnakumar. Guests included actors, photographers and popular faces, but ita��s safe to say that the real guest of honour was the Ferrari, which got more than its fair share of attention. Competing with the sleek set of wheels was a�?Happybootha��, a fun photo booth where everyone got to take turns letting loose their goofy side.
Meanwhile, across town, the Tamil Nadu Retail Jewellers Awards was underway at the Leela Palace, honouring the best from across the state. The event was restricted to members of the industry, focussing more on the craftsmen and their work than celeb power. Various styles and pieces were showcased through a fashion show by Karun Raman, starting with antique temple jewellery and ending with some serious bling.
And speaking of celebrities, Bollywood actor Amisha Patel also paid the city a quick visit this weekend for the launch of the new branch of Advanced Beauty & Cosmetic Clinic, on ECR. The actor was all smiles as she did the honours and, post the formalities, which were kept short and sweet, guests were given a tour of the new facility.
The weekend ended with The Saree Festival at The Folly, Amethyst, which saw a panel discussion with experts like Anita Ratnam, moderated by the organiser Himanshu Verma from the capital, who flaunted a beautiful orange kanjeevaram silk sari. But the highlight was the sari styling workshop led by Verma who pushed us to experiment with draping styles and think out of the box.

There are different ant species throughout the world and it will take patience and sufficient research in order to determine the type of ants you are dealing with on your own. The most common ant species is the black ant otherwise known as garden ant that can invade houses in many parts of the country. They can be easily identified by their worker ants that have a dark brown to black body color measuring about 5mm in length. Their queen ant is often seen during the summer months and she can be distinguished by her brown body color that measures about 15mm in length. Though many prefer to control ants on their own, others find it a wise decision to seek professional help. Nevertheless, it is always to your benefit that you are aware how to control ants by using eco-friendly treatments.
How You Can Identify Ant Infestation
There are three ways of identifying an ant infestation in your home. These are
- When you find ants crawling about on work tops or countertops, including floors or walls
- When there are sightings of ants in cupboards, pantries and other food storages
- Ants and signs of their homes are found at entrances to your house and even in the garden or yard
The Necessity Of Ant Control
There is a large variety of ant species and their workers will consistently invade your home to seek food and shelter. They can contaminate food and become a nuisance when they infest homes in great numbers. There is also the risk of winged ants infesting whenever the weather becomes humid and hot. Although winged ants are an annoyance especially inside buildings, they are very harmless, but there is no treatment to getting rid of them. It is essential to get rid of ants as soon as possible from a home before they cause more damage and it is also essential that they are prevented from having access to food and shelter in our homes.
How You Can Control Ants The Eco- Friendly Way
Though we all know that ants are a nuisance, we still must remember that ants are important and beneficial to the ecosystem. As such, destroying ant nests without reason, is simply unnecessary. So, if you just want ants to stop making it habit to keep visiting your home for food and shelter, then you can always use natural ways of making them stop.
Whenever ants appear in your home, you can easily remove them manually and make it a point to practice good hygiene to give them no reason to bother you in the first place. To locate where the ants hide, you can follow ants by their trails which will lead to their home. Once the entry point is determined, you can then seal the entry point with a sealant. You must also know that ants leave odor trails so that other ants can easily follow them. This is why wiping up the trail areas with warm soapy water or disinfectant can effectively eliminate the trails.
You can also use these other eco-friendly ways to keep ants away:
- Always practice good housekeeping and never leave traces of sweet food spills
- Food sources must be removed
- Use turmeric powder along ant trails as an ant barrier
- Aside from turmeric, you can also use paprika, dried peppermint and red chili pepper as an ant barrier
- Pennyroyal, eucalyptus and citronella essential oils can be wiped on the ant trails to get rid of the scent of ants
- Ants can not walk over talcum powder, so you can sprinkle this on access points or possible entryways
- Boiling water combined with detergent can be used to flood ant nests

Just kidding.
It was chaos.
Ellie, it turns out, had no intention of staying on the perfect blue backdrop and smiling or waving at me. She was in the backyard, and she was going to take full advantage of it. The instant I set her down, she was off.
After I scooped her back out of the dirt (multiple times), I thought I'd try a different tactic. We went inside and I got her elephant (it's her Christmas present, but don't tell her) and brought it back out to our photo set-up. Ellie played with it for about three seconds, then tried to run away with it.
The next ten or so minutes were spent unsuccessfully trying to get her back to the backdrop and also trying to prevent her eating dirt.
|"I'm freeeeeee!"
|"Hey mom, don't mind this handful of dirt headed towards my mouth, it's fine."
|"How about if I stand like this?"
|"Wow! Mom! Hey, look, I can tear this down!"
At this point, I realized that I might be able to get her to sit still if I gave her a banana. Yeah, sure, there'd be a banana in the picture, but at least there might actually be a picture.
|Trying to rip the banana peel off with her teeth.
Yeah, that worked.
So I gave up and just followed her around . She'd already lost her shoes and I had to take off her tights because they were so muddy, so she just ran around the yard in her little dress and diaper.
Then she found a shovel...
Licked it...
....and then immediately ran over and started playing in the dirt with it.
So, to sum up: our photoshoot was such a disaster that Ellie lost three pieces of clothing in the process, tore down our backdrop, and got so covered in dirt, banana, and boogers that she had to have a bath afterward. So would we consider this a success?

With aging, the intestinal walls tend to weaken. The pressure inside the colon increases, when the stool passes through the weakened bowels. It results in the formation of small, bulging pouches, called as diverticula. This condition is referred to as diverticulosis. Large intestine or colon is the most common site to develop diverticula. When diverticula get infected or inflamed, it is known as diverticulitis, which causes painful symptoms. Let's understand more about diverticulitis through frequently asked questions.
1. What is diverticulitis?
– Diverticulitis can be described as infection or inflammation of diverticula that are developed along the intestinal wall. Aging, intake of foods less in fiber, obesity, inactive lifestyle, lack of exercise and unhealthy habits like smoking and alcoholism are the major contributing factors for diverticulitis.
2. What are the symptoms of diverticulitis?
– Diverticulosis is usually asymptomatic. But, diverticulitis may cause painful and severe symptoms. Abdominal pain is the most prominent symptom of diverticulitis. Pain is usually located in the lower left side of the abdomen. The patient may also experience tenderness in the abdomen, nausea, vomiting, flatulence, bloating, altered bowel movements like constipation or diarrhea as well as high fever and malaise. Abdominal pain may reduce after bowel movements.
3. Diverticulitis flare up: what to do?
– Diverticulitis flare up is the stage, in which active symptoms of the disease are experienced. Diverticulitis is characterized by infection or inflammation of diverticula. When the symptoms of inflammation and infection are evident, the sufferer is considered to have a flare up. The most common symptoms found in flare up include pain and tenderness in abdominal region, difficulty in urination, changes in bowel habits like constipation or diarrhea, stomach upset and fever. A diverticulitis flare up may be accompanied by bleeding in the digestive tract in some cases.
The best treatment to manage diverticulitis flare up symptoms is to bring out certain changes in your diet. During diverticulitis flare up, it is advised to consume a liquid diet, which includes water, plain soda, plain gelatin, ice chips and fruit juices without pulp. The purpose is to rest the bowels and flushing of the colon. It helps to prevent blockage or obstruction in the bowels. Remaining on liquid diet accelerates the healing process. When the symptoms are reduced, you can gradually take low-fiber diet. Additionally, you can take aloe vera juice, oregano oil and probiotics to eliminate the infection and heal inflammation. If the symptoms are severe, you may be prescribed antispasmodics to control spasms and stomach pain as well as antibiotics to eliminate infection and relieve the symptoms like abdominal pain and fever.
4. Is diverticulitis hereditary?
– Diverticulitis is not hereditary. In fact, it is an acquired disease. It is more prevalent in those who eat foods less in fiber and more of processed, high-fat foods. The possibility of developing diverticulitis increases with advanced age. However, if genetic factors are considered, it is observed that people with collagen disorders are more prone to developing diverticulitis.
5. Is diarrhea a symptom of diverticulitis?
– In diverticulitis, the sufferer experiences the symptoms related to gastrointestinal disturbance. There may be changes in bowel movements such as diarrhea or constipation. The person experiences diarrhea, either alone or alternating with bouts of constipation.
6. Diverticulitis and constipation: what to do?
– Chronic constipation can be one of the major contributory factors for diverticulitis. Intake of low-fiber foods and more of processed foods can increase the risk of developing this condition. In order to prevent the disease and its recurrent attacks, you need to include more of fiber in your daily diet. Your daily fiber requirement is minimum 25-35 grams. Fiber makes the stool soft and bulky, allowing it to pass easily through the bowels and thus, prevents constipation. The foods that contain high amount of fiber are whole grain breads, cereals, pastas, fresh fruits like pears, apples and prunes, vegetables like broccoli, peas, squash and spinach as well as beans like kidney beans and black beans. When taking high-fiber foods, drink plenty of water and fluid to prevent constipation.
7. Eating popcorn and diverticulitis
– Previously, it was assumed that the foods like nuts, seeds, corn and popcorn, which are hard to digest, should be avoided by the people with diverticulitis. It was considered that these foods can get stuck in the diverticula, causing inflammation. However, according to the recent research studies, there is no scientific evidence to support this recommendation. On the contrary, nuts and seeds contain rich amount of fiber, which can be proved to be beneficial for those with diverticulitis. In fact, according to the evidence from a huge cohort of health professions, popcorn may give a protective effect against the complications of diverticulosis.
8. Effects of alcohol and diverticulitis
– Drinking alcohol can affect the condition and can aggravate the symptoms. Alcohol can increase the intensity and duration of diverticulitis attacks. Since alcohol may aggravate the inflammation in the gastric system, it results in increased pain and further complications. Additionally, alcohol can interfere with the action of medications and antibiotics. If you taking alcohol with medications, you may experience the symptoms like drowsiness, dizziness, stomach upset, vomiting and diarrhea. So patients with active flare ups should strictly avoid alcohol.
9. Stress and diverticulitis flare up: Truth
– It is seen that stress and emotional problems can worsen the diverticulitis flare up. Stress may cause increased contraction in the intestine, which may lead to the formation of diverticula. Also, stress may activate inflammation in the intestine. Therefore, stress management is an important aspect of diverticulitis treatment. Stress can be reduced with the help of yoga, meditation, tai chi etc.
10. What to do on diverticulitis attack?
– If diverticulitis attack is mild, it can be managed with dietary changes and home remedies. You can apply heating pad to the abdomen, which would help reduce pain and cramps. You may also try relaxation techniques like meditation to relieve pain. Take enough rest and keep your bowels relaxed. Initially, for 2-3 days, you are recommended to stay on liquid diet that includes plain water, clear broth, plain soda, ice chips, ice pops and pulpless fruit juices. When the symptoms are reduced, you can start with low-fiber diet, which includes canned or cooked fruits without seeds or skin, canned or cooked vegetables like potatoes, peas and green beans as well as eggs, poultry, fish, milk, cheese, low-fat yogurt, low-fiber cereals and white rice. Once you start feeling better, you can gradually switch to regular high-fiber diet. Always increase your fiber intake gradually; otherwise, you may trouble from bloating and flatulence. Also, drink plenty of water and fluids to prevent constipation. If the symptoms are severe, the doctor prescribes medications like anti-spasmodic drugs like dicyclomine, chlordiazepoxide, hyoscyamine and scopolamine as well as antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, cephalexin, metronidazole and doxycycline.
11. Diverticulitis Recovery Time after Surgery
– The most common procedure for diverticulitis surgery is colon resection, which involves removing of affected part of the colon and reattaching the ends. Recovery time after surgery depends upon various factors such as type of surgery and patient's overall health. Recovery time and possibility of developing complications is more in case of conventional surgical method as compared to the laparoscopic colectomy. Generally, the single-step open partial colectomy may require 4-7 days of hospitalization, if no complications are developed. If partial colectomy is done in two stages, hospital stay can be longer. Two surgeries are done between 6-12 weeks. If laparoscopic surgery is done, 4-5 days hospitalization is needed. It can take about 6-8 weeks for complete recovery after one-stage open partial colectomy, or after the second surgery of two-stage surgery. When undergone a laparoscopic surgery, you may require about 3 weeks for the complete recovery.

[Sorry this is a bit OT, but I just wanted to followup on a recent discussion with Douglas Koller, et. al] I've been observing Mandarin speakers a bit more since our discussion about that "pathological" example sentence that I had before: ta~1 chu3de fan4 wei4dao4 hen2 hao3 (may not be exact version) "The rice that he cooks has a good taste." AFAIK, we concluded that thread with the consensus that this sentence probably has elided a couple o' "de"'s. However, I'm not sure if this explanation is necessarily that strong, because I've come across sentences that are analogous in construction, but has no reason to drop the "de", eg.: 1) che4 wan1 tang1 wei4dao4 hen3 shiang1 this bowl soup flavor very aromatic "This bowl of soup has an aromatic flavor" 2) ta~1 er2zhi3 ge4zhi3 hen3 gao1 his son stature very tall "his son is very tall" (or, "his son has a tall stature") 3) ta~1 du4zhi3 hen3 fei2 his belly very fat "he has a large belly" (ie., "he's very fat") Now the monkey wrench for whatever other explanations you may have had: 4) na4 ny3hair2 tou2fa3 you4 chang2 ge4zhi1 you4 gao1 that girl hair also long stature also tall "that girl both has long hair and is tall" (hard to capture the meaning in the Mandarin -- the you4 marks correlatives, similar to the Greek me'n...de construction) The only plausible explanation I can think of is a topic-comment construction. But not being a linguist, I could be wrong, of course. Comments? T -- Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Two men who police say tried to sell a gun at the MBTA Airport Station stop have been identified, police said.
However cops, who released surveillance images of the men and asked for the public's help in locating them,
Lt. Detective Richard Sullivan said police are not naming the men, or saying whether they will face criminal charges.
"Both subjects have been interviewed and the investigation continues," Sullivan said.
Cops said on Dec. 22 the two men approached a passenger inside the T stop and offered to sell him a .40 caliber or .380 caliber firearm, police said.
Both men were in their late teens or early 20s. One man wore a dark parka style coat with a Pittsburgh Pirates cap. The other man wore a blue leather coat with white stripes.
MBTA cops are grateful for the heavy volume of tips they received regarding the men's identity.
"Thanks to our MBTA community for helping us keep a safe and secure transportation system for all to enjoy," police said.

Sophie the Giraffe
Dear Sophie's friends,
We would like to pass on some advice regarding some common Sophie the Giraffe queries.
Paint on Sophie the Giraffe?
The food-grade paint on Sophie the Giraffe is mineral based and safe for baby to chew and suck on. It is normal for the paint to gradually wear off. For this reason we do not replace Sophies with worn and faded paint.
How to look after Sophie?
Clean with a damp cloth and soapy water. Do not immerse Sophie in water as this will damage the squeaker. Don't sterilise it by boiling or microwaving it (it could damage the natural rubber and the squeaker).
Why do Sophie's differ in appearance?
Some customers comment that their Sophie looks different from their friend's one. Sophie is handmade and hand painted so that's why they all look a bit different. We'd recommend you have a look at the movie on how Sophie is made on Vulli's website:
You are more than welcome to forward this link or pass on this advice to your customers

The Settlement Movement: Pioneering Innovative Solutions to Changing Social Needs
The settlement movement has been a catalyst for social reform for over 125 year. The early settlement houses were established in response to the social inequalities wrought by urbanisation and industrialisation. Privileged and educated men and women aimed to help alleviate the effects of poverty and strive towards creating a more equal society by establishing settlement houses in deprived urban areas where rich and poor could live closely together sharing skills and knowledge.
Throughout its history the settlement movement has continued to identify areas of local social need and find pioneering ways to bridge gaps in social provision. The settlement movement has played an instrumental role in, amongst others, the initiation of welfare legislation, the development and professionalization of social work, and the creation of adult education centres, nursery schools and playgrounds.
Settlements have responded to the needs of the particular communities and areas in which they are located. For example, when it was first founded, the University of Glasgow Settlement was particularly concerned with issues around gender inequalities, while Hull House in Chicago was focussed on providing an intercultural welcome house for the growing immigrant population to the city. Meanwhile Toynbee Hall in London, one of the first settlement houses, established in 1884, provided a temporary home and lasting inspiration to both William Beveridge and Clement Atlee, founders of the British Welfare State.
A network of settlements has continued to grow and develop throughout the globe with active settlement organisations existing in Europe, Asia, Australasia, Africa and the Americas. Indeed, the settlement movement's "significant effect on the transnational world" (Hamilton: 188) is recognised by the United Nations where it enjoys privileged general consultative status on the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

Focusing on Details Can Make the Difference for your Career
In my last week of my internship here in Austin, I'm going to feature one last piece of advice that I've gained this summer from my boss. One afternoon, we were reviewing a video package edited by one of the editors. She kept replaying certain sections of the video and told me to listen to the audio carefully. After doing this several times, she explained to me that the editor who had made the package had cut a few corners with the audio of the video. To me, the shortcuts were unnoticeable, but to her trained ear, they stuck out like an air horn.
This episode taught me two things. Firstly, I have a lot to learn. Secondly, shortcuts are not worth taking. They may help you in the short run, but they usually bite you in the ass in the long run. Now, perhaps you are now thinking, "Um hello, this is HackCollege. You know, the site that helps you take shortcuts to make life easier." To that I say, no, this is HackCollege, the site where we show you how to work smarter, not harder. Sure, we have some shortcuts to get through tedious, frustrating stuff, but the shortcuts we offer still get you the same result. The shortcuts you shouldn't take are those that leave you with a less complete product.
(For more on what hacking college really means, see Shep's wonderfully worded article here.)
My boss told me to only turn a project in when you are truly proud of what you have accomplished. Go the extra mile on your work, really pay attention to the details because that is the difference between the people in management positions and those who are being managed. If you do just enough to get by, you'll find yourself plateauing in your school work or job. However, if you really make that effort to do the best that you can, you will excel among your peers, come out on top, and be more likely to move up in the ladder.
To end with, keep in mind this quote from Hall of Fame basketball player/coach John Wooden: "If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"
How has being detail-oriented helped you in classwork or at your job? Let us know in the comments!

Plan for buying new Pentax DA lens: Pentax DA 35mm f2.4
It was based on Pentax FA 35mm f2.0, and designed again for digital cameras.
Aperture 2.0 decreased to 2.4, but weight really gone to right. Badly mount assy. is not metallic material anymore. it's released for K-r (and also other P-K mount) as a fixed focal bundle lens.
Seems like a limited models. ( Pentax's high valued limited fixed focal lens )
Actually design started from same base.( as I know. )
So I'm planning for buying Pentax DA 35mm f2.4 for myself at last of this year.
It seems be ... I will still alone until buying this lens.
So I'll buy this, and I could be take more shots in Winter.
