With some of us at the Big Android BBQ in Texas and others of us knee-deep in devices, we've brought on our pal JR Raphael to help hold down the fort this week. On tap we've got more time with the new Nexus phones, the new HTC One A9, and we hit the Q&A hard and heavy. (Voicemails will return next week!)

Indian automaker Tata Motors and global leader Volkswagen have reportedly signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Geneva, to explore the possibilities of sharing the technologies of vehicle development.
The pact was signed by Guenter Butschek, chief executive officer of Tata Motors, and Matthias Muller, chief executive of the VW Group, in Geneva and an official announcement on the same is expected to come shortly, reports Autocar India.

While the details of the agreement between the Indo-German carmakers are under wraps, the emerging reports suggest that the agreement could be looking at the sharing of components and technologies.
"This MoU will allow us to have a wider range of discussions and exchange more information and data to understand the synergies that exist between our two companies," Autocar India quoted a person in the know.
Tata and Volkswagen are said to have been looking at the possibility of partnerships over a year now. In July 2016, it was reported that VW is planning to restart its small car project in association with Tata Motors. While the deal could help Tata in developing an advanced modular platform (AMP), the German carmaker Volkswagen may benefit developing budget cars for the Indian market. Volkswagen does not have a low-cost model in the Indian market, which for long has held it at bay from the market.

Bouquet Flower Care
Want to keep your flowers pretty? Here's some tips and instructions from our flower experts to care for your BloomThis flower bouquet.
Cut the stems at a slant to increase the absorption of water. This will give better hydration to your blooms.
Rose Alba
Floral Artisan
1. Get a clean vase
The cleaner your vase, the lesser the bacteria and the longer your flowers bloom. Of course, you can also use a jar, a mug, a teapot or anything that you fancy.
2. Fill clean water
Fill the vase with cold tap water. Too much water can speed the decay of the stems, and too little will hamper hydration. We suggest filling your vase up to two-thirds full.
3. Add flower food
Add flower food into the vase from the sachet. Flower food can increase your flower life up to 60%. This is because it contains all the nutrients that your flowers need. That said, remember to keep your flower food in a safe place and out of reach of babies, children and pets.
4. Trim flower stems
Cut approximately 2 cm off each stem at a slant (and repeat every few days). Flower stems will brown and decay which will hamper hydration. By snipping off the bottom few centimeters, your flowers are hydrated better and last longer.
5. Prune lower leaves
Remove all the lower leaves of your flower stems. Make sure there are no leaves in the water because they decay much faster underwater. Decaying leaves will create bacteria that will spoil your flowers.
6. Arrange in your vase
After you've trimmed the stems and pruned the leaves, arrange them in your filled vase however you like. Here's a pro tip: place taller stems at the back and the short ones at the front.
7. Place in a cool area
Place your flowers in a cool room or shaded area. Avoid direct air-conditioning, direct sunlight, extreme heat, dust and ripening fruit. All of these conditions may make your flowers wilt faster.
8. Change water daily
Change the water in your vase when the water becomes discoloured or murky. Dirty water will block the stems and hamper hydration. The water in your vase should always be crystal clear. Again, use cold tap water.
9. Remove wilting petals
When a flower begins to wilt, remove the petals or the whole flower from the bouquet. Flowers bloom and wilt at different times. Removing wilted flowers will help to avoid the spread of bacteria to the other flowers.
10. Mist flowers daily
Spray or spritz your flowers with clean tap water once a day to give it additional hydration. Flowers can absorb water from places other than the base of its stems. To do this right, use a bottle with a fine mist setting and spray from 6 inches to 1 foot away from the flowers to ensure an even coverage.

Kid, Hat Trick, Sookie and Yukon in Studio. Its Catchup time here in August with the shows back log finally hitting your ear holes. Hat Trick has brought in a great bottle opener with the GDS Logo on it. Sookie is showing lots of legs and flashing some panties. Kid previews the Hot Box competition which involves slip and slides. We make sure the women in studio are sweaty enough for the optimum cleavage sweat situation. Hat Trick whips her tittie out at Kroger and it leaves Yukon speechless. Yukon is all man and the Kid is jealous because he's banged both of the ladies. We bring up the half handy/footie and who didn't come through in the end and finish it. We wonder if Sookie injured her Rotator cuff which made her have to go to the foot job. We ask why Sookie doesn't have tattoos and we get the girls to discuss their whole pantie situation. Did we mention that Hat Trick had her ankles tied to her wrist. I think we get into fisting. Go Deep… with a fist.

I feel like no matter what I do or what I accomplish,
I am never going to find whatever it is I'm missing.
Or maybe I will find it, the answer is just when?
I think it maybe a type of freedom I'm looking for,
but I still can't find it despite the fact I'm no longer underneath my parents control.
I can't find it when I'm drunk.
I dunno what type of out I need but I feel like nothing will be able to give it to me.
I feel like I'm not living life how I should be,
there's so much others would of accomplished if they were still here living.
My life isn't some hell on earth
and I don't mean to portray it like so.
I just don't understand why things are so difficult for me,
Or maybe I'm making it difficult myself.
Sometimes I feel as though I don't belong,
Not in a suicidal way.
I just sometimes don't feel like I'm using it to its full potential, like I'm wasting it.
I know I am in fact but I also know I've done things to try prevent it but yet sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in it.
I'm so confused, anxious and overwhelmed about nothing but everything.
I can't think of a reason but I could list many.
I cant understand myself and why I feel this way.
I feel numb in a certain type of sadness but I also feel numb when I'm not sad at all.
It's true that if you become one thing for so long, you don't know how to be anything else.
I know how to be happy within a mood but I don't know how to be happy.
I know how to laugh and actually mean it but I don't know how to spend the rest of my life this way.
And I know it's wrong for me to find an reason for everything but that's what I do.
and when I can't figure out a reason, I assume they're my fault.
I blame myself for things that are completely out of my control.
I'm sensitive I take things so harsh and personally.
I hate this about myself but what can I do, I can't stop it.
I'm really tired or being tired and I know that cliche but it's true, I'm always exhausted.
Maybe it's because my rooms always dark and I always stay in there.
I don't know sometimes I feel like I'm putting all this on myself,
but if that's the case wouldn't I be able to stop it?

The law allowing male Jehovah's Witnesses to avoid conscription was ruled discriminatory by Finland's Parliament.
Parliament on Wednesday turned over a law that has allowed male members of Jehovah's Witnesses to skip military or civilian service without facing a prison term. The exemption dating from 1987 has long been considered problematic from a constitutional standpoint.
Last year, the Helsinki Court of Appeal ruled that the Finnish practice of allowing male Jehovah's Witnesses to avoid conscription is discriminatory. The ruling related to a discrimination case brought by a man who was imprisoned in 2016 for refusing conscripted service.
Under current legislation Jehovah's Witnesses may postpone their entry into service for three years at a time (starting at age 18), until their obligation officially ceases at age 29.
Proponents of the religious faction say their objection is rooted in their pacifist reading of the Bible. With the exception of women, who have never been legally bound to enter conscription, no other groups in Finland have had the same right.

Meet Trish and Jay – the married mentors
Get to know the inspirational couple who are volunteer mentors for Goodwill-Easter Seals Minnesota.
"Giving your gifts is how you live life. It's not about getting."
We heard the above remark from Trish Perry, but you could easily imagine her husband Jay using the exact same words. They stopped by our offices a couple weeks ago with Twyla, the young woman Trish has started mentoring through Goodwill-Easter Seals' volunteer mentoring program.
Originally from Chicago, Trish wanted her first job after college to be "somewhere different." So, she took a job as a buyer at a retail store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Jay is a Louisiana native. One day Trish noticed him pushing a cart on the docks near where she worked.
They're in Minnesota now – happily married for 25 years.
They're inspirational in all sorts of ways, including being part of Goodwill-Easter Seals' mentoring program. For Trish, the program matched her with Twyla, a single mom looking to start her own business.
Jay was just ending a role as a scoutmaster when Trish mentioned Goodwill-Easter Seals' mentoring program. He thought it would be another good opportunity to volunteer. So far, he's been involved in group mentoring with participants in Goodwill-Easter Seals' Construction, Automotive and ReEntry programs. He may soon start working as a 1-on-1 mentor as well. "I love going to the group sessions and talking to people there," Jay explains. "Almost everyone there has a similar story or shared experience. It helps people understand that they're not alone – and it can be scary to take that next step."
The mentoring program is an important piece of a Goodwill-Easter Seals' volunteer program that saw over 40,000 hours of volunteer service in 2015. Both group and individual mentoring programs are offered.
Matching mentors with the right mentee is an important part of the program's success. "We don't match people just to match people," says Goodwill-Easter Seals' Mentoring Coordinator Melissa Brandel. "We want to ensure it's a great fit."
Part of what makes Trish and Jay great for mentoring is their desire to help others. "One of our values as a family is to give back," Trish says. "It's a part of who we are."
A few years ago, those values were put to the test when Trish was faced with a series of personal challenges. She was laid off from her 20-year job in corporate America in 2009. In 2012 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In 2013 her sister was diagnosed with cancer.
Her inspirational and compassionate response to the crisis will come as no surprise. Instead of letting the challenges derail her, she used them as a way to pursue a passion for coaching others. She started building a life-coaching business called "Harmonize" whose focus is to help people who have gone through trauma in their lives.
"I'd wanted to do coaching for a long time," she explains."Even though it was just a small part of my job before, I loved the team building, mentoring and training best. I worked in HR on pilot programs and knew this is what I wanted to do."
Jay brings his own unique background to his mentoring role. A mechanical engineer with his own contracting business, he has masters degrees in physical therapy and education.
From Twyla's perspective, she's thrilled to have some support in turning her dream into something real. "If you want to go somewhere in life it helps to have a mentor," she says. "When you're all alone without help your dream feels far away. It seems much more possible when you have help."

Colorful Punjabi
Vaisakhi is also a feast of color for the eye and for the camera. Aside from the cultural experience and the general good feelings I enjoyed at the festival, the vivid colorfulness and rich ornamentation of the Punjabi dress was amazing and exciting, particularly to anyone who likes color photography. I must admit that compared with Punjabi people, the Chinese (I mean the Han people, the largest ethnic group of China) are extremely boring in their dull-colored dress.

Well, we have a new tax plan. Despite the trillion dollar deficit it will add, Trump's super-rich cronies and their cronies are delirious with joy. Like the imagined revival of Kentucky coal, trickle-down economics is going to save us. Or so the purveyors of snake oil tell us.
Reaganomics, Voodoo Economics, Supply-Side Economics, or Trickle-Down Economics. Like Satan it's known by many names. But even if "trickle down" economics don't quite work in practice, the description is surely apt if not unseemly. In fact, the meaning was not lost on New Zealand Labor Party MP Damien O'Connor who referred to it as "the rich pissing on the poor."
Almost immediately after Reagan revived "trickle down" economics David Stockman, the chief architect of Reagan's economic policies, disavowed it. Reagan's eventual vice president George H.W. Bush called it voodoo economics. Countless economists have explained why the theory is (1) just plain wrong; (2) actually results in more misery for workers; or (3) is dishonest and deceptive. But facts haven't stopped the GOP from trying to promote the scam. Repeatedly.
We are supposed to believe that when the super-rich stockpile cake we'll get some crumbs. Most people know this fake economic theory from the 20th and 21st centuries but it actually had its origins in the 19th when it was called "horse and sparrow" theory. John Kenneth Galbraith explained delicately:
"If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows."
The GOP has been shoveling horsepucky ever since. In an 1896 speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago William Jennings Bryan alluded to the fundamental difference between the major political parties:
"There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that if you just legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, that their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous their prosperity will find its way up and through every class that rests upon it."
So take your choice of metaphorical excreta. This is what the GOP successfully unloaded on America last Friday at midnight, giving Senators only a hour to read 400+ pages of last-minute changes with scribbles.
At this very moment the Democratic Party should be rolling up their sleeves. Maybe even with Jennings Bryan in mind, the DNC needs to publish an economic policy ready to be implemented the second they regain the House and Senate. Everyone remembers Paul Ryan distributing copies of his "Better Way." Well, Democrats, where's your Better Better Way?
I'll wager almost anything will be better than the GOP's horsepucky.

I think Charlottesville (and Family Separation and Pulse and Parkland and Pittsburgh and the MAGAbomber) motivated a LOT of people. Charlottesville was when I realized it wasn't going to get better and that a lot of people were in danger. Family Separation convinced me that they were actually willing to do anything regardless of human decency. I guess most of us thought it would never really get this bad, but now we all really know.
I think everyone knows that they truly might shoot refugees at the border or protesters at marches. We get 2018 and 2020 to make this right by voting. I hope that works.

Until the beginning of my year as a missionary with NET Canada, I really lacked the understanding of who the Holy Spirit is.
To me, He was obviously the third person of the Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but other than saying His name, I had no idea of who He was or the influence He has over each of our lives. At certain points He is spoken of more; Pentecost, confirmation, even my parish was named Holy Ghost, but I didn't really experience the Holy Spirit until I gave Him permission to enter my life - to be a part of my mission year. Of course, I had been called by the Holy Spirit many times in life prior to NET, but without an open heart, I could not see that it was Him who was working.
Throughout fall training, we had the opportunity to learn about many things, the Holy Spirit being one. He was spoken of as a guide, a counsellor, a giver of gifts, our helper; but I could not see how all these titles could be true without actually experiencing them. I was pretty closed minded about the work the Holy Spirit could do in me and in others. I doubted….Until we had a session at fall training dedicated to learning more about the Holy Spirit, and inviting Him to work in us.T hat night I was particularly restless, feeling unworthy and confused. I didn't know what to do, the band was playing worship music. I was trying to take control, trying to lead myself through the evening but what I didn't realize is that things work best when we let go and invite the Spirit to lead. When I finally did, I cried and gave in, telling the Spirit I would accept whatever He felt I needed most. It took a little while but then there was this peace, one that I could not undo. There was nothing I needed to do other than just BE, and I was indescribably content. That night I got a small taste of this giver of gifts, just enough that I would learn to trust.
Through these last few weeks on the road, I've called on the Holy Spirit in my prayer many times, and intern He has called on me. What I've come to understand most is that He asks each of us to be bold… Well, here I am on NET, but truthfully I've recognized this most through the others I encounter.
Some of the youth we've ministered to have been such an inspiration. There was this one encounter I had that changed me. During the prayer ministry portion of retreats, we give the students an opportunity to commit their lives to Jesus. At our first retreat of doing this, a teammate and I sat at the front of the church and explained to the youth that they had this opportunity to put Jesus at the centre of their lives. If they choose to do so, they could come up at any point and say a prayer of commitment to Jesus.
At first, they all just sat silently. I sat silently as well but called on the Holy Spirit over and over asking that He would at least move in the heart of one youth there. After I had prayed this, a boy stood up, passed his friends in the pew and came up to the front where we were. He seemed so nervous. The whole time breathing deeply and shaking slightly. We prayed with him and gave him a commitment card which he signed. As he walked away from the prayer station he turned to the two of us who prayed with him and smiling mouthed the words "thank you." He then went back to his friends and tried to convince them all to do the same. He was the first and only one at the retreat to make the move to commit to Jesus. His boldness and gratitude have honestly changed me. I will not forget him. As we walked out of the church that day he walked out just in front of me. Above the doorway was a stained glass of a shining dove - the Holy Spirit.
Moving forward in this mission year, I have personally made my own commitment to allowing the Holy Spirit to work in and through me. I realize that without Him, without that tug in our hearts to be bold, without the gifts He offers, and without the help He provides, we wouldn't power to complete the missions we are called to. We are all called to accept the Holy Spirit and give Him permission to work in our lives. As a result of saying "yes" to Him, we can receive the fruits of peace, love, joy, patience, gentleness, goodness, self-control and faithfulness, if only we choose to be bold and give Him permission.

text: The story has captured many hearts and minds for over a hundred years, and it has almost become a part of our collective consciousness. It's La Dame aux Camelias, or Camille, by Alexandre Dumas, which chronicles the doomed love affair between a young Frenchman, Armand Duval, and a dying courtesan, Marguerite Gautier. The novel has inspired a play, an opera, a ballet, and film adaptations, perhaps the most notable of which features Greta Garbo as the beautiful, melancholy Marguerite.

The daughter of painters Wolf Kahn and Emily Mason, and granddaughter of painter Alice Trumbull Mason, Cecily Kahn was destined to become an artist. A native New Yorker who has lived in New York City most of her life, Kahn lives and works in a large top floor loft on Canal street and Broadway, overlooking one of the busiest intersections in Manhattan. Her paintings reflect both the angularity of the city as well as the organic chaos of city life.
Kahn received a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design, and went on to study printmaking in Italy for two years at the Calcographia Nazionale in Rome and the Segnio Graphica in Venice. She is represented in New York by Lohin Geduld Galery and in Atlanta by Thomas Deans Fine Art.
Her work has been exhibited at The National Academy, The Painting Center, Katherina Rich Perlow gallery, and Sideshow Gallery. Her work has also been exhibited at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, at the New Britain Museum of American Art, and at The Hillwood Art Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, in Bogota, Colombia. Her work has been included in the exchange shows between The Painting Center and artists groups in Ireland, Barcelona and Colombia.
Kahn's work has been reviewed in Art in America, The New York Times, The Brooklyn Rail, d'Art International, REVIEW Magazine, and in Abstract Art Online. Cecily is a current member of the American Abstract Artists group, and is Chair of the Advisory Board of The Painting Center.
As a native New Yorker, my paintings have always reflected the angularity of the city. I spent years making paintings of buildings, roof tops, and finally maps of the city. I began to play with the map image, layering one on top of the other thus creating new forms. Eventually, these map paintings shed their representational base and became more internal, psychological maps. I try to embrace opposing forces and create balance. I like working with the diversity that paint as a material provides: thin and thick, hard edge and ephemeral veils, and drips in all directions. Paint surfaces are explored by using various mediums to thin the paint or thicken it to impasto. Color and form are used in both organic process and consciously formal decisions, to explore ideas of plasticity and formalism.
In my recent work I concentrate on the essential issues of abstraction: color line and form. Surprise and humor are also important to me. I've found inspiration in work from the post-cubist period, such as the American Abstract Artists Group of the 1930's and 40's. They were also interested in working with the essential elements of abstraction, and doing away with anything extraneous. The viewer of my work will sense this connection and come away with a feeling of history revisited with a twist.

This week, I had two very similar discussions with other software consultants. In both cases, we were lamenting how our clients often focus on the superficial. In terms of code, they care if the requested feature is up and running–not if it added a significant amount of technical debt to the codebase. In terms of design, the clients care if the thing looks pretty–not if it's tested out or validated with end-users.
When I say that my clients focus on the superficial, I'm actually making a very biased argument. In reality, clients see what they are able to see. Firstly, while it's easy to see what's bad work and what's good work, it does take a trained eye to see what's good work and what's great work. Secondly and more importantly, only you and your team are able to see the actual work in its entirety. Clients see only what's presented or communicated to them.
This is a problem I first encountered as a university student.
During my studies, me and my friends participated in a business case competition. The competition had two rounds: qualifications and finals. Teams like ours that made it through the qualifications were given training and mentoring by the organizers. We read a lot about case competitions and we did a lot of practice cases. In the finals we came in third. But that's not the important part. The important part is what I learned about the bottleneck problem of business case presentations.
In case you're not familiar with business case competitions, let me give you a brief introduction to them.
In a business case competition, each team is given the same business case to solve by themselves and then present their solution to a group of judges. The business case is a document of 10 to 20 pages telling a story of a company facing a need for strategic action. The company can be real or fake, a multinational corporation or a family business. Sometimes the company is experiencing stagnating or decreasing sales, sometimes there's a PR crisis, sometimes you as the team have to identify what's the actual problem or future threat.
Once your team receives the business case, the clock starts ticking. You are given 2 to 4 hours to identify key issues, do the analysis, write out synthesis, and construct a presentation for the judges. The presentation will take around 15 minutes and it's followed by a Q&A from the judges. After all the presentations are done, the judges will convene to discuss the presentations and decide on the winner.
The 15 minutes you are given to present is never enough. This is the bottleneck. In order to meet the time limit you have to leave a lot of stuff out. You can't go in front of the judges and act out in detail what happened during the last four hours. There are discussions and analysis that never leave your team room. Not because they aren't important. But because there's not enough time.
The truly great business case teams are able to empathize with the judges. They are able to understand that the judges were not present with your team when you were solving the case. They are able to understand that when your presentation starts, there is zero shared understanding between you and the judges.
In practice, this means that you need to separate the appealing work from the important work. Part of the important work is work that the judges don't care about or which is difficult to communicate, but something that is still required for your team to perform on a high level.
This applies to all of our doings. The fact that we do work which is hard to make visible or appreciated, doesn't make the work itself unimportant. Focus too much on the superficial, and you lose the mastery and meaning behind your work and products. Feel professionally hurt when everyone isn't able to appreciate your mastery, and you are on a path of misery.
In addition, I do believe that more experienced leaders and clients are able to look beneath the surface. They don't direct their focus only on the shiny parts of the delivered work or on the short-term. I judge a lot of books by their covers especially when I have very little knowledge or experience about the subject. It is my immaturity, not maturity, that allows me to be fooled by work that lacks substance.
Even though some of the important work can be hard to make visible, it doesn't mean you should stop trying. As a software developer you know that continuous delivery tools make you faster, clean code makes you more reliable, and validated designs make the software itself more engaging. All of these things contribute to competitive advantages, help you retain more users, and build up your brand. Your clients (internal or not) won't disagree with you that these are important goals.

Going back to Ferdinand Tönnies, the notion of community has been adopted in many different research fields (e.g. migration, nationalism, welfare states) where it has experienced scathing criticisms yet never completely vanished. I argue that in order to be complete, a theory of modern world society needs a concept of community that theorizes solidary social relationships. Building on organizational theory, I offer a precise notion of communities as social collectives that generate resources for their own members. This concept applies to collectives from the micro level (families) to the meso (nations) and macro level (supranational regional organizations). With relation to global cooperation, it sheds new light on the extent and limits of willingness to cooperate.

I am a glass artist in the Boston area, specializing in leaded glass. I have recently started categorizing my business into two main areas I call "Art Glass", and "Art Glass Miniatures". Art Glass refers to traditional leaded glass panels, and also a series of leaded glass and wood luminaires (lamps) that I have developed. I can do any sort of custom glass work that you'd like. Art Glass Miniatures is like it sounds—small pieces of art glass. These are ornament to suncatcher sized items, and besides my ability to create custom designs, feature two main products. The first is a series of mouth-blown glass bullseye ornaments, while the second are ornaments made from scraps of glass that I would otherwise be discarding.
I'll go into further detail about all of my art glass works in future posts, but this is all the time I have for now! All of my currently available art glass pieces may be found on my Etsy shop.

One of the Writing-related groups I am in offered this writing prompt:
It was the first time the 17 year old Martin met a newborn baby.
This is what that prompt prompted me to write:
Baby. That's what they called this smooth-skinned, wriggly thing. They'd presented it to Martin with obvious pride, which was unexpected, because the last time a wriggly hairless thing had entered the house – that one had been carried in by Martin, who'd found it in the garden- they'd screamed and they'd called it Snake and they'd grabbed the broom and swept it back into the garden.
To Martin, this new Baby appeared a lot more threatening than the Snake, because unlike the Snake, the Baby made odd noises, smelled like sour milk and boasted a disconcerting number of flailing limbs. And yet, no one implemented the broom, and no one screamed. In fact, they cooed at this Baby in the high voices that were usually reserved for Martin. They also cooed at Martin and pointed the baby out to him. As if he'd miss it. Admitted, his eyes were not what they'd once been, but he still had a good sense of smell, and his hearing wasn't that bad either. Right now, he heard: "Come on, Martin. Nothing to be scared off. She can't hurt you. You'll like her."
Her? It was a her? And they wanted him to like this her? He sniffed the air. Still sour milk. And something else, too, something that reminded him of… of… No. It was gone. His memory certainly wasn't what it had once been. But fine; if they were so convinced that this Baby posed no threat, and if they so wanted him to inspect it up close, he'd do it. Probably a bad idea, he thought, curiosity killed the cat and all that, but he stood up anyway and moved on his stiff legs towards the Baby.
The Baby was in a basket on the floor, so that was familiar enough, and Martin peered over the edge of the basket at the writhing Baby, and he sniffed. Still sour milk, but also still that other scent, the one he couldn't remember, and there were smells of cloth and cream and human. Not any human, no. This baby carried the familiar smell of them, of the loved ones who'd brought this Baby home and who'd encouraged Martin to approach it, and that smell was the sweetest of all, even if it came from this undersized, wriggling, not-a-snake Baby.
Martin pushed his rickety body up on the basket. One of them said "No, Martin!" but the other said: "Leave him. We are here, we can keep an eye on things," and Martin was left to clamber over the edge of the basket, which hurt his creaking joints, and then to lower himself on a soft surface next to the Baby. The Baby made a little noise, but this time it didn't frighten Martin. He sniffed along the baby and found it had a nose, a tiny one, that could be licked, like Martin would often do with larger noses, and this confirmed that the Baby was indeed a Good Thing.
Martin lay down, sculpting his bony body to curl perfectly against the soft warmth of the Baby, and he inhaled deeply, that elusive smell that he now did remember from so very long ago. It was the smell of his youth, his mother, his siblings. The smell of family, and of love. Martin closed his glaucomic eyes and started to purr.

This article includes discussion of headache in transplant patients, primary headache disorders, secondary headache disorders, headache attributed to long-term use of nonheadache medication, headache attributed to infection, headache attributed to nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), and idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The foregoing terms may include synonyms, similar disorders, variations in usage, and abbreviations.
This article discusses the approach to headache when presenting in the context of solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients, which can include both primary and secondary causes. In this article, the author outlines the epidemiology and etiologies of headache in the transplant population including pharmacotherapies, infection, vascular associations, and miscellaneous causes. Suggestions for management and possible pathophysiological mechanisms are discussed.
Key points
• Headache, which can significantly affect quality of life, is common in patients who have received transplants.
• As in the general population, the most common headaches seen in transplant patients are migraine and tension-type headache.
• The best characterized secondary cause of headache in patients who have received transplants is the usage of immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus.
• Other most important differential diagnoses are infection and intracerebral hemorrhage.
Historical note and terminology
Organ transplantation is 1 of the greatest therapeutic advancements of the second half of the 20th century. Transplants are defined as tissue, including an organ or group of cells, being transferred from a donor to a recipient. They can include solid organ transplantation like a liver or heart but can also include hematopoietic stem cell transplants often used in the treatment of cancer.
Organ transplantation was first referred to in Hindu texts around 3000 BC with skin autografting (Linden 2009). The first successful human transplant was kidney transplantation between twins in 1954. In 1962 azathioprine started being used for immunosuppression, but over time due to persistent morbidity and mortality other agents were tried.
By 1983, the triple therapy of cyclosporine, azathioprine, and corticosteroids became the preferred therapy for allograft transplantation. Since that time, further innovations in immunosuppression have included agents such as tacrolimus, mycophenolate, sirolimus, and others.
The concept of headache in transplant patients does not have a clear history and in general is poorly documented in terms of clinical features. There are multiple etiologies that can be identified including many secondary causes. It is known that headache can significantly impact the quality of life in patients with history of transplant. The association between headaches and transplant patients is not well understood and more clinical studies are needed.

Victories for two county council candidates could mean Hamilton County will spend more on infrastructure projects in coming years.
Of the three council candidates endorsed by the Fiscal Conservatives of Hamilton County, just one—incumbent Fred Glynn—prevailed.
Control of the council will be important as the county considers funding for significant road projects, an expansion of the jail and other projects. In recent years, the council—which holds the county's purse strings and approves the budget—has been at odds with the commissioners, who serve as the executive board.
Most recently, the council and commissioners have failed to come to an agreement on how to fully fund a 256-bed jail expansion. The commissioners have asked the council to allocate all $17 million needed to complete the project. So far, the council has set aside $13 million, enough to add 120 beds immediately and build a shell for future expansion.
Incumbent Steve Schwartz beat Republican challenger Mark Hall, a fiscal conservative who said he'd keep the county commissioners' spending in check. Ken Alexander beat Rick Sharp, another candidate endorsed by the fiscal conservative group, in the District 4 race.
Schwartz is well known for working with the county commissioners to move projects forward they deem necessary, even if they're costly. In his re-election bid, he received campaign donations from all three commissioners. His opponent and the fiscal conservative group have called him a rubber-stamp candidate for the commissioners.
The commissioners also backed Alexander in the District 4 race.
Here's a look at how races shook out.
County Commissioner
In the District 1 county commissioner race, incumbent Christine Altman prevailed with about 61 percent of the vote.
Altman, 63, an attorney at Altman Poindexter & Wyatt LLC in Carmel, was challenged by Matt Milam, an Orchard Park resident who served as longtime president of Concerned Citizens for Home Place, an organization founded in 2004 to contest Carmel's plan to annex the small community in Clay Township.
She earned 17,599 votes to his 11,231.
Milam, 52, who works in freight transportation, ran on a promise he made to residents that serving as county commissioner would become his only job.
District 1 represents southwest Hamilton County, including Carmel. County commissioners oversee the county's day-to-day operations, including supervising and maintaining county property, receiving bids and authorizing contracts, recommending to the county council the amount of salary to be paid to each county officer, and overseeing hiring of deputies and employees.
Altman, who is seeking a fifth term, previously told IBJ her longtime involvement in county government will be helpful as Hamilton County's population continues to grow. Projections show by 2050, the county will grow to more than 500,000 residents.
No Democrats filed to run in the primary. The Hamilton County Democratic Party has a few weeks yet to pick a challenger.
County Council
Three Hamilton County Council seats were in play Tuesday, and two incumbents faced challengers.
In District 1, which encompasses part of Clay Township, incumbent Glynn was challenged by Sue Maki.
Glynn, who narrowly won the primary race with about 51 percent of the vote, faces Democrat Jeremy Eltz, who ran unopposed in the primary election, in November.
Glynn, a Carmel resident, was first elected to the county council four years ago.
Maki, a political newcomer who serves as the city of Carmel's manager of environmental initiatives and education, had hoped to use her experience on community boards in Hamilton County to serve residents in District 1. She received about 49 percent of the vote.
In District 3, incumbent Schwartz, a four-term county council member, was challenged by Hall. The two led a heated race that culminated last week when Schwartz accused Hall's wife of stealing and destroying his political signs. Ultimately, no criminal charges were filed in the incident.
District 3 includes Noblesville, Jackson and White River townships.
Schwartz won the primary with about 55 percent of the vote, having received 5,218 votes to Hall's 4,276.
Also in District 3, Jeremy Hawk won the Democratic primary with 873 ballots cast in his favor (or roughly 55 percent) to Gregg Werling's 716 votes.
Schwartz now faces Hawk in November.
Hawk previously told IBJ he sought election to give Democrat voters a choice.
In District 4, which represents Adams and Washington townships and part of Clay Township, four Republicans hoped to succeed Paul Ayers, who chose not to seek relection.
Alexander prevailed in the primary with about 35 percent of the vote. Christine Pauley followed with about 30 percent of the vote. Rick Sharp took 29 percent of ballots cast, while Sheldon Barnes received about 6 percent.
Alexander now faces Democrat William Howard II, who ran unopposed in the primary, in November.
In other Hamilton County races:
Dennis Quakenbush prevailed in the Republican primary for Hamilton County Sheriff, having received about 43 percent of votes.

This is supposed to be a hip hop class but just seems like a load of middle class people desperately trying to be "street". They try so hard but just can't help slipping back into some kind of pretentious contemporary theater dance.

This month the BBC website turned 20 years old. To celebrate they put together an article of how the site has changed over the past 20 years. There's some great screenshots of past headlines and some nostalgic web design in there.
As well as reminiscing on web years gone by, this week I discovered a hilarious app called Send Me To Heaven. The app is a game where the rules are incredibly simple, throw your phone in the air as high possibly can, it then logs your score on the leader board. The game has been banned by Apple, so it's only android users that can experience the thrill of throwing your phone into the air.
I love snow, so with the magical British winter now upon us (cold rain) I have to turn to the internet to dream about what it might be like in a proper country. I'm imaging I'd get to severely piss off all my neighbours by doing stuff like this.
This will polish out:
So this week we had two birthdays in our household. In one of the birthday cards we got, the sender had written a funny little poem about a Paraceratherium which is a prehistoric land mammal. I don't recall the poem, but I did look up what it is and gosh it was really massive. The largest land mammal to exist in fact. Here's a pic that compares the size:
Our modern relation is the Rhino.
Just imagine if it were around today – thankfully no horn to cut off so it would probably be quite safe.
Continuing the optical illusion theme, I tried this one a while ago and it is fantastic.

I ran across this site while desperately looking for a way to organize my work station at work. I was thrilled to see others out there like me who actually prefer the paper and pen method as I do.
I work for a huge company who barages us with not only emails on an hourly basis (updates on the customer service process) we are also baraged with the same updates on paper dropped at every desk.
Personally I like the paper drops which do serve as a reminder of these updates..but I'm sure as you have probably guessed by now...these papers turn into piles that sit on my desk and eventually are never looked at again. I have loads of piles on my desk and when I need to find something strangely enough I usually can..but it is always that one IMPORTANT paper that I seem to need all the time and I can never find that particular one. Go figure. I've tried binders which in turn ends up to an accumulation of many many binders with no rymne or reason to them. I've tried a filing system and turns out that in my fast paced info on the spot type of work that I do I don't have time searching through files. It seems when I file something I never look at it again. I've tried to compile info on larger index cards..but I don't have much off the phone time to do this type of thing. I am the type of person that needs to see it and have access to it right in plain sight. Strange, I know. Hence the messy desk.
Anyway, this is only part of my problem. I am starting new job in the same company where I will be doing highly complex orders on the computer but these orders will not be finished via the system. They will be put in a hold type of status and have to be looked at/worked on/etc again in a few days,weeks, or whatever the situation calls for.
I am trying to devise some kind of paper system where I know the jist of what the order is doing..any problems or issues with it...and the biggest problem is remembering to follow up and do what I have to do down the road to that order so that it is able to complete through the system. My biggest problem is remembering to go back and look at the orders on whichever day it is I'm supposed to be looking at it or re-working it...and if I need to re-work it again..or do more to it down the road...follow up again when I need to without overlooking anyone's orders so that their services are in and working when they should be.
I also need to prioritize some of these orders because some of them I'm certain will be worked and then worked again until everything is in place for the customer.
I was thinking about a color coded system with possibly little containers to hold a 3x5 card (or larger) and label them according to what or when I need to look at the orders in the bin. The biggest challenge for me is not to lose, overlook, forget etc about any of these customers because after awhile most of these orders look the same and it is very easy to just simply forget that I was suppose to be working on something, or I promised a customer I would get back to them on a particular day about an issue needing to be resolved etc.
I was also thinking of systems along the lines of order dates..or follow-up dates..possibly also incorporating color coding into the mix. I really do better with small cards in bins than I do with big notebooks..but I had also thought of something like using a notebook..problem with that is if I have to follow up again on the order I have to re-write everything about the order and transfer it to another page on the notebook for a follow up date.
I really am at a loss as to how to do this efficiently and would be so thrilled if one of you had an idea or two for me for condensing and organizing on paper daily updates and also my biggest problem of all which is keeping track of orders and following up on them all via a paper method.
I am so sorry about the long long post!
Thanks for listening!
Add a tickler file?
Have you considered adding a tickler file to your system? Simply a set of file folders, one for each date from 1 to 31, plus one for each month.
So, once you've written your index card and filed it in your box, simply write a short note on a piece of paper, something like "work on Murphy order" or "call Bill about Henderson account", and drop that piece of paper into the appropriate folder.
Each morning you need to look in the file for that day and pull out the notes, then get the matching index cards from your bins and get to work.
As long as you are meticulous about putting a note into the ticler file, you shouldn't 'forget' about any pending item.
I Love My Tickler
I just added a tickler file to my system this week, and I have to say that I LOVE IT. Throughout the day, while working with my hPDA cards, I will attach a small post-it with the simple note "tickle to ___" and toss it into my "to be filed" folder. The next time I land in my office, I simply pull out the folder full of "tickle to" notes and distribute them into my tickler. It's like mailing a reminder to myself.
As for the actual tickler I use, I considered getting a couple of accordion files, but decided against it when I couldn't determine what horizontal surface to place them on, i.e no room on my desk. Instead, I have set up the 43 folder system (12 months, 31 days) using pendaflex hanging files in a desk drawer. Each day I pull out the appropriately numbered file, plus the next day's folder to review what's coming up.
It works great!
You Have Come to the Right Place...
Hi Donna, worry not all papery life is here. May I suggest you start by looking at the hPDA V3 Perhaps a calendar (there is a selection to choose from) combined with Notes and the Waiting For Template will be just the ticket. There is a piece by Doug on cross referencing which maybe of use. Bins or planner? With the hPDA V3 you can use both... Finally (and before I delete myself for sounding too much like spam ;) ) take a look at Setting Up a GTD-Based Hipster PDA.

A British study published in the Lancet journal on Tuesday has concluded that Type 2 diabetes can be reversed through a strict calorie-restricted diet plan.
Researchers arrived at the findings through an ongoing trial study called DiRECT (Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial), whose aim is to seek an effective way to reverse the effects of Type 2 diabetes for the long-term.
"Rather than addressing the root cause, management guidelines for Type 2 diabetes focus on reducing blood sugar levels through drug treatments. Diet and lifestyle are touched upon but diabetes remission by cutting calories is rarely discussed," said Roy Taylor, a professor at Newcastle University who co-led the study.
The researchers observed 149 participants who have had Type 2 diabetes for up to six months as they underwent a rigorous diet that contained only 825 to 853 calories per day for three to five months. By the sixth month, the participants were reintroduced to solid food and were made to maintain a strict diet until the end of the yearlong study.
After a year, researchers discovered that nearly half of the participants (68 in all) underwent a remission even without undergoing medication. Moreover, the participants lost a lot of weight during that period, losing an average of more than 20 pounds. Thirty-two of 168 participants dropped out of the program, however.
Type 2 diabetes may be reversible with weight loss, study finds https://t.co/RXFMwHXiAO— CTV News (@CTVNews) December 7, 2017
According to the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, about 10 percent of American adults have diabetes, while 84 million are considered prediabetic. Prediabetes, if not treated, leads to Type 2 diabetes within five years. Type 2 diabetes occurs when a person's body doesn't produce enough insulin. The lack of insulin can lead to unstable blood sugar levels, which could have fatal consequences to a person's health.
Extensive research has discovered that obesity increases the likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes. According to CDC, 90 to 95 percent of more than 30 million Americans afflicted with diabetes have Type 2 diabetes.
"To go on a liquid diet of 800 calories a day...seemed like quite a mountain to climb," says Isobel who took part in a landmark @DiabetesUK trial https://t.co/iikeZY9f6C— The World at One (@BBCWorldatOne) December 5, 2017
Type 2 diabetes, if allowed to progress over time, can have devastating consequences to one's health. If a person living with the condition undergoes a remission, the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and stroke is vastly reduced.
The initial results of the trial are encouraging on account of the discovery that remission could be achievable for some people if they have the discipline to stick to a structured diet plan. The study also seeks to understand the long-term effects of the treatment and determine the steps each healthcare professional has to take to treat people with Type 2 diabetes.

Larry Sanders was so incredibly tasty during the 2012-2013 fantasy season.
He was so good. In a lot of ways amazing. The F/C was a regular drop/add for me throughout the year, coming on board to pile up double-doubles and blocks and games where he just went off – that triple-double on Nov. 30 where he put up 10 Pts, 12 boards and 10 blocks and a 17-20-2 on Dec. 21. He also had a stretch from Feb. 20-April 5 where he had double-digit rebounds in 18 out of 23 games.
And on Feb. 19 at 8:44 p.m., I added him for keeps in a transaction that vaulted the Punk Rock Gods to the Floor Generals League Championship.
In a similar way, Col. Sanders is so incredibly tasty all the time.Please, blog, may I have some more?
This team led the league in blocked shots per game in three of the last four seasons, and was second in the one that it didn't.
This team also finished in the Top 6 in rebounding in the last four years.
Who is this team? Without cheating and looking at a stats site you'd have to guess the Lakers, with Dwight Howard, or a defensively minded team like the Spurs, with Tim Duncan leading the block-n-board bash, or Da Bulls, with high-end Crafty Breuer Joakim Noah, his pony tail and the other dudes swatting shots and grabbing clankers.
Nope, nope and nope. It's the Oklahoma City Thunder, a team that – despite having blocks leader Serge Ibaka (3.0 bpg) in the hizzouse – just doesn't pop into your mind as a team that would pile up a mound of boards and blocks. We see Kevin Durant blowing guys away on the break and rising up for those improbable three-ball makes, and we see Russell Westbrook somehow getting to the cup and somehow getting it to go.Please, blog, may I have some more?
I don't need to get into why the Portland Trailblazers might be unlucky. Or maybe snake bitten. Or maybe even – gasp! – cursed.
I don't need to mention the long line of giants with legs more fragile than the sexy lamp in "A Christmas Story." I don't need to mention the Draft Day Disaster where they went with a sure thing no one questioned at the time and ended up missing out on the greatest player of all time. And I don't need to mention the crushing injury to a guy whose last name is the acronym to a certain award given to rookies, which all but crushed any chances of building something out of those early LaMarcus Aldridge teams in the late '00s.
But in casting away one J.J. Hickson, I believe Portland has made its own bad luck heading into the 2013-2014 NBA season.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Some music fans believe the 1982 Fleetwood Mac album "Mirage" got its name because Lindsey, Stevie, Christine, John and Mick hated each other, were trying to pass off a dated band as relevant, recorded it while whacked out on assorted liquids and/or substances, or all of the above.
While any of this could be true, the opinion here is that "Mirage" is a criminally underrated album by an often derided band. Can they be as corny as Nick Young's early 2012-2013 'do? You bet ya. But here, without trying, they actually pull off a "mirage" that's a good one and not one that, say, Spike in "Tom & Jerry" might have had where he mistook Tom for a giant hambone.Please, blog, may I have some more?
With Andre Iguodala bolting Denver to shoot at the walls of heartache in Oakland, Dwight Howard taking his Stay Puft Marshmallow Man act to Houston and Andrew Bynum finally dumping the 76ers, spurning the Mavericks and their Cheesecake Factory and bowling his way into Cleveland, everyone is just now catching on to the fact that the biggest winners of last off-season's über-trade were the Orlando Magic and the biggest losers were everyone else.
Even Stan Van Gundy put on his Captain Obvious cape and backed up this assessment.
But Philadelphia 76ers fans knew different. They knew all along that the Magic were anything but losers the second the trigger was pulled on that mostly ill-fated four-team swap on August 10, 2012.Please, blog, may I have some more?
