Allegany County legislator, 22-year-old both eye Senate Seat
BELMONT — Voters in the 57th State Senate District may have quite a contrast in choices when they decide who will fill Cathy Young's seat in Albany.
Monday, the Democratic Chairs of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany and Livingston counties tabbed political newcomer Austin T. Morgan as their choice to run for the seat.
Morgan, a lifelong resident of Freedom, is slated to graduate from Cornell University this spring with a degree in Human Development.
On the other side of the aisle, Allegany County Board of Legislators Chairman Curt Crandall is hoping to secure the Republican nomination.
Morgan is 22-years-old. Crandall has been been married to his wife, Cathy, for twice Morgan's age — 44 years.
Crandall highlighted the differences in political experience in officially announcing his candidacy Monday.
"While some legislative issues coming from Albany are seemingly complicated, I feel that my voice of reason and experienced leadership qualities can help direct New York State to a better tomorrow for your family and mine," stated the Belfast native.
Crandall has been Chairman of the Allegany County Legislature for 14 years, the longest tenure in the County's history. He has held all key leadership positions at the county level and previously served as a Deputy Town Supervisor.
Crandall's campaign slogans read "Commonsense leadership works" and "Your family and mine deserve a better tomorrow in New York State."
"I am a registered Republican and deeply conservative in my beliefs and values, and New York State needs commonsense leadership," he stated. "I believe that while government has a very important role in our lives as Americans, it should not attempt to run or legislate how we live our lives. I stand for reduced taxes, reduced regulations, private business and enterprise, more local government control, less State mandates on local government, and limiting unaffordable social welfare programs."
Crandall highlighted his fiscal work at the county level, which includes a county property tax rate that has decreased for nine consecutive years.
"I am proud of my record of reduced taxes, stable financial position, elimination of operational debt, improved bond rating, and other accomplishments experienced in Allegany County where I have served as Chairman since 2006," Crandall said. "With your help and support, I would like to have the opportunity to apply these principles and beliefs on the State level."
Crandall operates Crandall's Memorials, a family-owned cemetery memorial business spanning four generations. He serves on several community boards and organizations, stating he is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.
Crandall is currently circulating petitions for the Republican nomination.
"There is a petition process underway which would put candidates before the voters," he said. "I have designating petitions being circulated in the four counties, and I welcome anyone or group to reach out and learn more about the experience and leadership that I can bring to the entire 57th District."
The Democratic Party, meanwhile, stands unified behind Morgan. Democratic leadership met and interviewed candidates over the last week, and Morgan made a strong impression.
"Morgan is 22 going on 40," said Chautauqua County Democratic Chair Norman P. Green.
"He is one of those rare people who walks into a room and instantly gets your attention," added Cattaraugus County Democratic Chair Frank Puglisi.
According to a release, Morgan is currently the co-president and former client manager of Cornell Productions, a student run company that employs 40 student workers. The company designs venue event layouts and cost estimates for its clients. Morgan has also worked as a substitute teacher and as a one-on-one teacher aide with special needs students. He was a session assistant and legislative analyst in 2018 with NYS Senator Leroy Comrie-D, NYC.
Democratic leadership said Morgan would be well positioned to represent the 57th District given the current Democratic majority in Albany.
"Morgan will immediately have power and access as a new majority caucus member in the New York State Senate. It makes great economic sense for our region in the new reality of NY politics to elect a young man who will gain seniority in the majority over the coming decades," said Livingston County Democratic Chair Judith Hunter.
Morgan echoed those sentiments in a statement Monday.
"Senator Young was a titan of Albany, and I thank her for her many years of service to our region. The reality we face now, though, is a solid Democratic majority in the State Senate," he said. "If our district is to attract opportunity and promote growth, we must elect a representative able to be heard in the planning of major legislation, the distribution of school and other funding, and in plotting the course for the future of our state."
"This campaign is about believing in a future that restores the promise of rural WNY and the Southern Tier ... It's time for a new generation to lead."
Allegany County Democratic Chair Mike McCormick said he was impressed with Morgan's knowledge of the District.
"His command of the issues facing the 57th State Senate district amazes me. He is extremely intelligent and articulate. Morgan represents the future of our party. We are proud to back him for this office," said McCormick.
Austin comes from a family rooted in the working-class tradition of the region. The son of a teacher aide and a maintenance mechanic, he was the valedictorian of Pioneer High School's Class of 2015, and he is a proud first-generation college student set to graduate from Cornell.
At a time when the area is grappling with population and opportunity loss, Austin believes that a fresh perspective and new energy are key to restoring the promise of local communities.
"Albany has forgotten freedom for decades, along with too many of the towns and villages we call home. I am running to change that," Austin said. "It's time to rip out the pages of the political playbook that say to wait in line — we cannot wait any longer. It's time to vote our future."
The four county chairs said that the next task for County Committee members is to circulate a qualifying designating petition to get Morgan on the ballot.
Young, a Republican, resigned effective March 10 and the 57th District has gone unrepresented in Albany since. Young often ran unopposed for reelection, including in 2018. In 2016, she handily defeated Democrat Lee Hyson with 83 percent of the vote.

He was a bright 17-year-old who attended a prestigious school. But the boy had a secret fetish for lingerie, which aroused him when he put it on.
Eventually, the boy's parents found out about his habit and took him to see psychiatrist B. L. Lim.
A fetish refers to the use of an inanimate object (or, for some psychiatrists, a non-genital part of the body) for sexual arousal or fantasy.
Dr Lim's patient's experience was similar to that of Defence Science and Technology Agency scholarship holder Jonathan Peh, who was found with more than 200 bras in his home.
The 26-year-old research engineer was given a one-year mandatory treatment order for his underwear fetish.
Psychiatrists The New Paper On Sunday spoke to say it is difficult to pinpoint a predominant cause leading to the development of a fetish, but it usually begins with associating an object with sexual release.
While it is normal to be aroused by certain types of clothing, such as fishnet stockings or provocative lingerie, it becomes a problem when the object is the preferred or sole manner in achieving sexual satisfaction, said Brian Yeo, consultant psychiatrist at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre.
The practice of indulging in a fetish is not a crime. But it can sometimes lead a person to break the law, such as when he has the urge to steal the objects he has a fetish for.
Referring to his patient, Dr Lim said: "He had initially bought the lingerie, but had been contemplating stealing the underwear belonging to neighbours as he felt that would arouse him more."
The impact of a fetish on a person or his family becomes pronounced only when his habit is discovered, or when an arrest is made, said psychiatrists.
In such cases, arrests may shame the person with the fetish and his family, or affect his job, said Dr Yeo.
Fetishism, like many other atypical sexual interests, is not recognised as a mental disorder.
It crosses the line to become a psychiatric disorder when it harms the individual or others around him, said Tan Hwee Sim, specialist in psychiatry at Raffles Counselling Centre.
Psychiatrists were not able to provide exact numbers on the percentage of people who suffer from the disorder.
Treatment for a fetish can be divided into two levels: The first focuses on preventing the person from breaking the law because of the fetish. The second deals with modifying or converting the fetish into a healthier sexual habit.
In some cases, medication is prescribed to lower preoccupation with the sexualised object and sexual arousal, said Dr Tan.

PORT ST. LUCIE – Cliff Floyd's kidneys now appear to be in good condition.
The Mets left fielder revealed last week he had learned he was having kidney issues based on some test results. But Floyd received new test results yesterday that let him know he is not dealing with anything serious, noting he's "not sick at all."
Floyd, who has said his family has a history of kidney trouble, said last week his kidneys were functioning at approximately 50 percent. Yesterday, though, he said his doctor was "talking about 65 percent right now."
"I'm happy," Floyd said. "I'm just happy that we can move on. It's more so just I'm really happy that I just got an opportunity to get a hold of it and make sure that I start checking myself and making sure everything's good, that's all."
Floyd, who had not been restricted baseball-wise by the situation, said he will take medicine for high blood pressure (he also said last week he had high cholesterol). He was instructed to be careful with his diet and needs to "monitor" the situation but said he has no follow-ups scheduled (though he may have more check-ups). As for anti-inflammatories, Floyd said he can keep taking them.
The Mets (9-6) have their second three-game winning streak of the spring after yesterday's 8-5 triumph over the Nationals in Viera. Aaron Heilman, who is the fifth-starter favorite, threw four scoreless innings, permitting three hits and no walks, fanning three and responding to Brian Bannister's strong effort on Tuesday. Bannister hurled four frames of one-hit shutout ball. Heilman has allowed one run in nine innings this spring; Bannister has nine scoreless.
Victor Diaz added a solo homer yesterday, and Sandy Martinez hit a two-run shot.
The Mets made their second round of cuts, with RHP Alay Soler, LHP Mike Venafro, RHP Tim LaVigne and RHP Anderson Garcia the four casualties.

"Case of the Month" – September 2017
Arrow, a 2-year-old male Dachshund mix, was playing in his family's back yard when his owners, Deborah and George Smith, heard a crying yelp. Upon investigating, they found him standing still in the yard with a 3-inch twig protruding from his right eye socket. They immediately brought him to the nearest veterinary emergency room where veterinarians sedated him, and told the Smiths they needed to bring Arrow to the ophthalmology specialists at the UC Davis veterinary hospital if there was any chance of saving his eye.
"They said there was nothing they could do and sent us immediately to UC Davis," said Mrs. Smith. "That 45-minute drive felt like forever not knowing if he was going to be alright."
After an initial assessment, the Ophthalmology Service discussed with the Smiths the potential for the stick to have penetrated the eyeball, and even extended into the brain. A CT scan was needed to determine what damage the stick had caused. Had it only penetrated the soft tissue of the eye socket, or was there further damage to the eye, orbital bone, and even the brain?
The Anesthesia Service prepared Arrow for his CT, and with the stick still intact, radiologists with the hospital's Diagnostic Imaging Service then performed the scan to assess the full extent of the injury. The stick had penetrated the soft tissue surrounding the eyeball, and extended to embed itself along the muscles of the face used for chewing. Luckily, the stick did not harm the eyeball or brain, and also missed a large vein to the eye.
Arrow was taken to surgery where ophthalmologists, along with surgeons from the Soft Tissue Surgery Service, incised and dissected the skin above the superior eyelid until the edge of the stick could be grabbed with forceps. The stick was removed without complication, and an ultrasound confirmed complete removal of any remnants of wood. During closing, the team performed a partial tarsorrhaphy – sewing together the eyelid, narrowing the opening. This temporary procedure helps protect the cornea, keeping it moist to prevent ulceration. Arrow recovered from anesthesia uneventfully.
After two nights of hospitalization, Arrow was able to go home, where the Smiths were diligent about administering his medications.
"We were adamant about following all the rules and administering all of Arrow's medications," said Mr. Smith. "I believe we did this all as a team – UC Davis did the hard part, and we followed their instructions to do the rest. Because of that, Arrow is still here and playful as ever."
At Arrow's 6-week recheck appointment, he had a mild amount of corneal scarring, which was to be expected. Since it was not causing any discomfort or problems with his vision, Arrow was able to resume his normal activities.
"We cannot express our gratitude enough," Mrs. Smith added. "Arrow is our life, and everyone at UC Davis made us feel like he was theirs too."

5th October 2015, PDP, Rudolf Laban, The Kinesphere.
The notion of kinesphere was created by Rudolf Laban to define: "the sphere around the body whose periphery can be reached by easily extended limbs without stepping away from that place which is the point of support when standing on one foot" (1966, p.10). This spherical space around our body shifts as soon as we shift our weight. It is also the first area of movement exploration before going into "space in general". It follows anatomical limitations, being actually more elliptic than spherical as constitutionally, the average body has a wider area of reach forward than backward.
Laban, who laid the foundation for Laban Movement Analysis, was interested in the series of natural sequences of movements that we follow in our various everyday activity. Being a dancer/choreographer, he saw the everyday patterns of human action and abstracted the essence of these into the "art of movement".

Data 61's CEO Adrian Turner spoke at the Cyber Security: the Leadership Imperative, hosted by InnovationAus, on the need for boards and senior business executives to become more au fait with the changing risk profile of businesses in the internet age. One of the key issues, he argued was a lack of diversity on Australian boards and a need for IT practitioners to change how they communicate the risks that emerge with new technologies.
Turner said we are in digital transition where new skills and technologies are creating new industries.
"In the past, when Australia was a domestic modifier of global ideas, we cannot do that. We have to back ourselves in taking a leadership role in creating new industries. We don't have a choice," said Turner.
After spending many years working overseas, Turner has noted that boards in Australia play a fundamentally different role here than other countries. While governance, risk management and compliance are important, in other parts of the world boards are much more active in seeking growth opportunities and how their industries are being reshaped.
"I think we've got a problem with our boards. Not that our boards don't have great people. But if you have a look at the average age of a board director in Australia, it's about 60. If you look at the age of a non-executive director, it's about 63. It's not about age – it should be about meritocracy and ability," said Turner.
That lack of diversity is even more obvious when you look at board composition in our largest companies. About 104 directors represent 35% of the ASX100.
"It's a tight knit group".
In contrast, Turner said while that Silicon Valley has lots of faults it is great at diffusing knowledge. The average age of board members at Facebook is 49, – removing the three oldest board members from that group drops the age by seven years. One of those older board members is Reed Hastings, the CEO of Netflix, highlighting the cross-fertilisation of ideas across companies. Board structures in Silicon Valley, as an example, facilitate the sharing of ideas and information.
Turner says those boards also have many "digital natives", even on the boards of multi-billion dollar businesses but there is a reticence to do that here. This leads to a lack of diversity on Australian boards, not just in terms of gender but also in different ways of thinking and, seeing and solving problems and meeting new challenges.
"Digital natives just think differently," said Turner. "There needs to be more diversity, more of a mix. The companies that step up to that new opportunity will thrive. The ones that don't – I think they're going to get smashed
When it comes to cybersecurity, Turner says the challenges many businesses are facing are symptomatic of the structure of boards and their experience with the new world. Citing research by Australian email security company MailGuard, Turner said 91% of cybercrime initiated by zero-day attacks over email and 97% of people can't tell difference between criminal intent and real email. The threat landscape is evolving exponentially with cyber crime expected to be worth $6T by 2021.
With the damage of a major attack extending beyond financial to reputational, the currency we are moving to is trust. Businesses are looking for a "social license" to handle operate and hold valuable data sets that companies need to be thinking about.
To start, Turner said security must be escalated to being a board level discussion.
"It's not technical issue. It's as much a cultural issue and a people issue about organisational process and structure. It's all about communications, making sure there are clearly understood methodologies. Reporting metrics so that awareness is elevated and the role of CISO is changing, even to the point where security is no longer being reported through the CIO.
Businesses need to move on from thinking abut cybersecurtity response as being all about technology but also a behavioural issue. Cyber-hygiene needs to move on to thinking residence and having a repose ready for when something goes wrong. That means having scenario planning, business continuity plans and running drills to ensure the business is ready.
While past efforts at security took more of an all or nothing approach, Turner said businesses are moving to a risk tolerance approach where business context is understood.
"Different sectors and different business will have different tolerances. its all situational. It's about aving a discussion at board level to agree an that appetite for risk," he said. "Related to that, really understanding what are the valuable data assets that an organisation holds and carrying out an inventory of those assets and understanding where those assets are is a fundamental step to protecting assets".
That focus has to extend beyond traditional IT into operational technology. Turner said that while securing medical devices, mining equipment and other mission critical systems is important, there will be a need to think about equipment that is "life critical" as more systems are automated and connected to existing networks.
When it comes to monitoring a reporting, Turner said it is important to not under-invest in response systems. He also added that everyone from operational teams to boards need to participate in broader programs, such as those offered by government, as well peer business and other forums in order to broaden their exposure and understanding of the threat landscape and how they can prepare and respond to incidents.
While security and privacy are often played of against each other in some forums, Turner described them as "two sides of the same coin", noting that security was typically about systems while privacy was more a function of policy.
Turner made some interesting comments regarding the rapidly growing cyber-insurance. He worked with the World Economic Forum on risk quantifying for cybersecurity instance. He worked with a number of large issuers and other businesses on this.
"What was interesting was that we concluded we couldn't build a risk quantification model to properly price risk. If we look at cyber-insurance today, it's not actually pricing the risk of a cyber event. It's really like an ISO certification where it's ensuring you follow a particular set of precesses. As a board, you need to understand that the percentage of payouts on full payouts is very, very low".
When risk is managed well it can be a massive business enabler said Turner. He likened it to the importance of a braking system in a race car. While the brakes might be designed to slow or stop the business, the benefits of brakes is that they enable you to go faster, more safely.
"That's the opportunity here if we get it right".

In accordance with Victorian Government restrictions, our venues will be closed to the public from Thursday 9 July.LEARN MORE
In your typical hatha yoga class, you'll focus on yoga postures and positions, without any flow between each posture or position the instructor leads you through. You only need the very basic yoga skills to attend a Hatha class, as it's very beginner-friendly, and the focus is on learning and relaxation, with a little bit of flexibility.
Hatha yoga, which was historically developed in the 1400s, has many benefits, including stress and pain relief. Some say that Hatha yoga has helped with their anxiety and depression, as well as sleep quality and menopause symptoms.
What can I expect in a hatha yoga class?
Most classes run around an hour and include a warm-up, a series of poses and then a meditation. While hatha yoga classes are considered "gentle" yoga and might not leave you in a sweat, they will still be somewhat of a challenge if you've never done yoga before.
A big part of hatha yoga is breathing and part of the warm-up period is focusing on your breathing and how to properly control it throughout the rest of your session. It's important to pay attention during this instruction, as you'll need to keep tabs on your breathing patterns when you complete the poses along with the class.
Most poses that hatha yoga focuses on are designed to help you gain strength, flexibility and overall balance. If you think a certain pose is too difficult for you, the instructor will often guide you through the pose and show you how to do a modified version that might work better for your skill level or body type.
After you go through all of the instructor's chosen poses, the class typically ends with a brief meditation session.
Many people find that hatha yoga is a great gateway into harder, more challenging yoga classes, as well as a good complement to their other athletic endeavors, whether it be aerobics, strength training or a sport.
If you try one hatha yoga class and discover that the session moves a bit too slowly for you, rather than immediately skipping ahead to a more difficult yoga class, consider staying in the hatha yoga class a bit longer, as this could be an excellent way to develop your sense of stillness and patience.

text: Zagam 1982 Report post Posted January 24, 2013 As you guys know, I've put an extensive amount of effort and research into Affliction. With the notes from Ghostcrawler and other developers hinting that Affliction is going to be nerfed and Destruction brought up a bit, I'm going to dive back into playing Destruction, even though it is a slight DPS loss. I'm going to play it on every fight to force myself to learn everything about it so I can give Destruction the same love I gave Affliction in terms of theorycrafting and spell explanations. Also, I know the PTR is unstable, but there is one thing confirmed: GREEN FIRE! Can't see that as Affliction and to be honest, I'm rather bored playing the same spec all the time. I'm switching it up unless a heroic progression fight requires Affliction (likely Will of the Emperors). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Annual Innovation Fund Grant
Our Innovation Fund grant has been awarded annually since 2015, and has grown from initially funding 2 projects, which each received $50,000, to one $200,000 grant awarded in 2017. With community support, through our Gutsy Challenge program, our hope is to continue this growth by building this fund so we can award 2 x $200,000 grants within the next few years.
"The AGITG Innovation Fund is an important step in the process to develop new clinical trials," commented Professor Tim Price, Chair of the AGITG/GI Cancer Institute. "The Fund awards protocols that will build on our research programs and enables our members to accumulate the data required to approach funding bodies for a larger scale clinical trial."
Previous Grant Recipients and Results
In 2015 the GI Cancer Institute awarded two $50,000 grants as part of our annual Innovation Fund round. The Innovation Fund was made possible through generous contributions from the Spencer Gibson Foundation, the His Honour Alan Bishop Fund and with donations raised through the support of many individuals who participated in the GI Cancer Institute's Gutsy Challenge.
The two 2015 Innovation Fund Grants were awarded to:
Gastric Cancer Study
Prof John Mariadason, Dr David Lau and Associate Professor Niall Tebbutt to conduct a project titled: 'Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family amplification and overexpression as biomarkers of Regorafenib response in gastric cancer'.
The research team looked at advanced stage gastric cancer and response to the drug Regorafenib, a drug currently used in the treatment of colorectal cancer.
The 2015 Innovation Fund grant enabled the research team to develop sufficient evidence to reference in a successful grant submission to the NHMRC for a three year project, titled The FGFR family as drivers and biomarkers of regorafenib response in gastric cancer.
DOCTOR Genomics Study
In 2015, Professor Barbour and co-investigators from the School of Medicine, The University of Queensland, were also awarded $50,000 from the GI Cancer Institute's Innovation Fund, towards a translational study entitled the DOCTOR Genomics Study.
As an extension to the larger scale DOCTOR trial, the DOCTOR Genomics Study looked at the genetics of tumour samples collected from patients before starting therapy, to understand what are the genetic determinants of oesophageal cancer relapse and why some patients benefit from pre-operative therapy while many do not.
Since 2015 annual Innovation Fund grants have been awarded to the following recipients and studies. Updates on their progress will be provided upon completion:
2016 – Dr Matthew Burge – for MONARCC a study in to improved treatment options for advanced bowel cancer in elderly patients – READ MORE HERE
2017 – Prof. Chris Karapetis – for RENO (REctal cancer No Operation) a study in to improved treatment options for rectal cancer patients – READ MORE HERE

A couple of months ago EMC and their Swedish partner Acando took the initiative to start a Swedish Documentum User Group. Since we have a rather cool installation of Documentum D6 at work I was invited to speak about our approach and how we use Documentum in Concept Development and Experimentation.
There were around 15-20 people present representing some of the current customers to EMC Documentum in Sweden and I looked forward to meeting other people and see how they were using the platform. However, since we only have used Documentum since May 2006 I was wondering what they would think about our approach. The unique thing about our approach is that it is not an IT-projekt, rather it a project set out to change the way we work and how to approach information management from the bottom. Documentum then becomes a tool rather than an end in itself.
The briefing went very well and I was amazed how amazed the other customers were from my presentation. Several people told me that they thought we were an inspiration in how Documentum could be used. The representative from EMC also invited me to submit a paper and briefing to the next Momentum conference in Prague. It felt really good to get that response and I was almost honored to be invited to speak at Momentum. To me that is something that other people do and now it could be me. Actually rather cool 🙂

After Liposuction, making results last a lifetime
So you've just gone through a liposuction surgery for removing cellulite buildup in your belly area. You are immediately pleased with the results after liposuction seeing that your belly area has miraculously flattened to its normal size. You could see the semblance of some muscles trying to break out into the surface.
Nothing beats the speed and effectiveness of results after liposuction surgery. What may take months or years for some people who exercise and eat a healthy diet could be achieved in a matter of hours. Liposuction remains to be a popular choice among people searching to get rid of stubborn cellulite deposits. This is because years of fat buildup are easily removed without breaking a sweat.
The problem with liposuction is that the cellulites are gained as quickly as they are eliminated. This is because liposuction does not introduce lifestyle changing habits associated with traditional fat loss methods. Exercise and eating a healthy diet may take a bit longer but people who are able to achieve a slimmer physique are more likely to keep them compared to those who have undergone surgery.
All is not roses with liposuction. There have been instances when people have suffered from medical complications as a direct result of the operation. Health risks include infection, bleeding and scars. However, cases of liposuction procedures remain to be few and far between. These are often the result of surgeries performed by cosmetic surgeons who don't have the medical qualifications to perform the procedure.
Liposuction is not only performed to help people get rid of stubborn cellulite deposits. The aesthetic changes are only secondary to the health benefits they bring. Weight problems place us at a higher risk for developing life threatening diseases.
After liposuction, the first thing that people should do is to understand factors that caused the weight problems. Without knowing these are likely prone to suffer from recurring weight problems in the future. Living a more active lifestyle and eating a healthy diet remains to be the healthiest way of keeping fats out.continue reading
Are Diet Pills Dangerous? Weighing the options
Diet pills seem to be one of the most popular ways of losing unhealthy fat deposits quickly. They are a cheaper alternative to liposuction while providing faster results compared to exercises. But popularity does not necessarily translate to safety. This leaves many people asking, are diet pills dangerous?
Before we could decide if diet pills pose a serious threat to our health we must first understand how these work. There are different types of diet pills that work in a myriad of ways to help people burn or eliminate fats in their system.
Some diet pills work by restricting the absorption of fat. This is quite popular since its gives people the conception that they could eat anything they want without the risk of added poundage. Fat is eliminated along with waste products in the body through the feces. The problem with this is that the body requires fats in order to function properly. When we try to reduce fats drastically, it deprives the body of much needed stores of energy.
Other common types of diet pills work by reducing appetite. It lessens our food cravings and even manages to alter the taste of food. This is done by conditioning a person's psychology to resist food. These types of diet pills are especially effective for people with food cravings. But are diet pills dangerous when they start affecting a person's normal mindset?
Diet pills are quite effective in reducing or burning cellulite deposits. These can bring instant results making them very attractive to people searching for a quick weight loss method. The problem with losing fats quickly is when they interfere with the body's normal body processes.
With quick weight loss methods like liposuction and diet pills for example, all the benefits are instantly lost because they don't provide the building blocks of living a healthy life. Eating a healthy diet and living an active lifestyle remains to be the best ways of keeping our body's functioning optimally. And without incorporating this to our lifestyle all the pounds lost are easily gained in a manner of days or weeks.continue reading
Chiseling your Chin, Double Chin Liposuction Treatments
The biggest problem with fat deposits is that it seems to always manage to wriggle its way into the most unsightly places on the body. Whether it manifests itself as a bulging tummy or a double chin, stubborn cellulites are there to bother anyone who fails to eat a healthy diet or renege on performing exercises regularly.
A double chin liposuction is a medical procedure that is designed to remove fatty deposits under the chin area. These after all can make people look fat even if they had slim figures. Double chins are very difficult to eliminate even with the best diets and exercises. Unlike belly fat for example, there are no specialized gym equipments that could melt double chins.
A double chin liposuction is basically similar to any type of surgical liposuction. A medical instrument is introduced over the area to siphon fats. The results are immediate and a cellulite free chin could be seen after surgery. Because it is a lot simpler, recovery time is shorter and people could return to their normal daily activities within days.
However simple a double chin liposuction is, it still has its own share of risks and complication. Infection and bleeding are just two of the most common complications in this type of procedure. Advancements in medical science has reduced or eliminated this possibility but it never hurts to be careful either.
The most obvious way of ensuring the safety and effectiveness of a double chin liposuction is by choosing a qualified cosmetic surgeon. Some people make the mistake of prioritizing price over safety. It is possible to scout for a cheaper treatment by asking friends or consulting with your personal doctor.
Genetics has been shown to play a role in determining the appearance of double chins. Some people who are overweight may not develop double chins. Having a double chin liposuction is personal choice. For those who wish a more natural route there are simple exercises available for melting fat deposits in this area. This provides a safer alternative for people considering a double chin liposuction.

The 3D production of precision components was the focus of the LaserForum 2018, which took place in mid-October at the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany (RUB). In three consecutive sessions, experts from research and industry presented and discussed the latest developments and insights from additive, subtractive and hybrid manufacturing processes.
Prof. Esen from the Department of Laser Application Technology (LAT) at the RUB opened the event with a lecture on the principle of optical assembly of microscopic components. The highlight: there is no mechanical contact, so even the finest structures remain intact. This enables a novel and non-destructive assembly of smallest components such as e.g. swivels, screw and snap connections.
The creative freedom of additive manufacturing technologies will be particularly interesting when laser metal deposition (LMD) is complemented by a self-learning robotic system. After automatic optical detection of the workpiece surface, the system plans the most efficient process paths itself. The machine intelligence is crucial here: this makes it much easier to produce free forms in comparison to programming according to CAD templates, as Dr. Rainer Beccard from Lunovu explained.
Ultra-short pulse lasers are ideal for micro-processing such as micro-drilling, cutting and turning. Thus, medical products such as stents, implants, joints and also dental implants can be optimally adapted to the specific loads and different geometries of their users by means of 3D laser production methods.
The event series LaserForum is organized by IVAM, Fraunhofer ILT, LZH and LAT. (Source: IVAM)

Laguna Beach school visitors will have names checked against national sex offender database
Beginning next month, visitors to any of Laguna Beach's four public schools will need to provide identification to be checked against a nationwide sex offender database.
To beef up security, the Laguna Beach Unified School District board on Tuesday approved a contract with Houston-based Raptor Technologies to install a computerized system that will check a person's name against the database, according to a news release. The initial cost is $8,250, with a $2,700 annual fee to access the software.
"This system will further enhance the district's efforts to improve safety at all schools by allowing school officials to monitor who visits the schools and when they are in the buildings," Jeff Dixon, interim assistant superintendent of business services, said.
School personnel will scan a visitor's driver's license, state identification or passport. The software then will run the person's name, address and photograph through the sex offender database and get nearly instantaneous results, the release said.
Once cleared, the visitor — for instance, a contractor, volunteer or parent — will be issued a badge to wear while on campus.
The badge will bear the person's picture and name, the time and date of the visit, and the area of the school that he or she is visiting.
If the system identifies a match between the visitor and the database, a school administrator is alerted.
Laguna Beach Unified's safety committee has been evaluating security procedures and communicating with other districts over the last year, Leisa Winston, assistant superintendent of human resources and communications, wrote in an email.
Under the current system, visitors sign in at a school's front desk and receive something indicating their status — depending on the school, it could be a generic badge or a sticker with little more than a name on it.
The new system will store no information other than a person's name and whether he or she is a sex offender, officials said.
In the Irvine Unified School District, 35 of 38 campuses are using the system, spokeswoman Annie Brown wrote in an email.
"We viewed this system as an opportunity to enhance student safety while streamlining our volunteer-screening process," Brown said. Irvine is working to bring the remaining three high schools on board.
Nationwide, Raptor has identified and alerted officials to more than 50,000 sex offenders attempting to enter schools and issued over 250,000 custody alerts, according to the company's website.

For the rolled meat
2 pounds of flank steak only (do not use top or bottom round)
4 ounces salt pork (7 ounce piece with skin)
5 garlic cloves roughly chopped
1/2 cup roughly chopped Italian parsley
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
5 slices prosciutto chopped
2 ounces pesto
1/4 cup shredded Pecorino Romano
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
For the tomato sauce
4 cloves sliced garlic
4-6 basil leaves minced
2 tablespoons mint minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 28-ounce cans ground or whole tomato (if possible, use Pomodoro San Marzano tomatoes such as Cento or Pastene brand)
28 ounces of water (use tomato can to measure)
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter to round out flavor if too acidic
1 Depending on how thick your flank steak is, you may have to butterfly the meat (run a long sharp knife horizontal to meat and board from one end to the other so you end up with two equal flat pieces) If the piece of flank is too thin to butterfly then pounding to desired thickness will do. Regardless, either method will still require further pounding to get the meat to the desired thinness.
2 Cut cross marks every 2-3 inches on the beef against the grain about half way through. Cover with plastic and pound to about ¼ – ½ inch thick.
3 In a small food chopper or mill, make a paste out of salt pork, garlic, parsley and olive oil. (Do not use the salt pork rind.)
4 In a small bowl, mix prosciutto, pesto and Romano. Add pureed salt pork mixture and mix.
5 Sprinkle pounded beef with salt and pepper and spread filling on meat, leaving one long edge free. Roll ending on side with no filling and finish with seam side down.
6 Then, cut beef into six separate rolls. Using butcher's twine, seal each end of each roll.
7 Place olive oil in 10 quart Dutch oven and heat over medium to medium high heat. Brown braciole rolls until browned on all sides. About 2-3 minutes per side. Set seared beef aside.
8 In same pan, lower heat to medium and add slice garlic, basil, mint and red pepper flakes. Cook for only a minute or less until garlic just starts to turn color.
9 Add tomatoes, water, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Reduce to low heat to simmer. Ideally, place a heat diffuser between pan and flames (indirect heat will prevent the sauce from burning in the bottom of your pan; a diffuser is an inexpensive purchase). In a pinch you can use flattened aluminum cans with the paper label removed and both ends cut off.
10 Bring to a simmer and place seared beef into sauce. Cover slightly and simmer gently for 90 minutes.
11 Remove beef, clip off strings and cut each piece into about four slices for serving. (Alternately the individual rolls may be served as a portion without slicing.)
12 At this point, you have a choice. During cooking, a lot of the fat from the salt pork will float to the top. Remove it if you don't want all of that pork fat in the sauce (although the flavor is fantastic!). We ladled off about half of it and stirred the rest into the sauce. Puree the sauce with an immersion blender if you used whole canned tomatoes. If the sauce is too acidic for you, add a little butter to smooth out the flavor. Serve beef and sauce over your favorite cooked pasta.

The Barclays Center is going green.
The Prospect Heights arena is set to get a massive vegetation roof that mega-developer Forest City Ratner says will beautify the view for future Atlantic Yards tenants and help quell neighbors' concerns about the bass boom of concerts and sporting events.
"The roof is an amenity, but we acknowledge, of course, that it will probably do something about sound if we have that issue again," said Forest City Ratner spokeswoman Ashley Cotton. "It was the right time to introduce this concept as an amenity for all of the residents that will be surrounding the arena, and for people of the community."
Forest City Ratner is not sure when construction will start on the roof, according to Cotton, who would not say how much the addition will cost. Once it starts, the process should take about nine months and require three cranes, according to a company press release.
The green roof will be partially funded by Greenland, the Chinese-government-owned developer that is buying the un-built portion of the hot-button development complex over and around the Long Island Rail Road train yard at Flatbush and Atlantic avenues.
The emerald ceiling will be built on top of the existing roof and will offer a lush view for inhabitants of planned apartment towers that will supposedly one day loom over the Barclays Center, but it is not a front lawn, Forest City insists. Residents and leisure-seekers will be barred from climbing around on the inviting turf, despite the ramp up to the window of one building and the 4-10-feet crawl-and-frolic space between the sod and the actual roof. The B2 skyscraper is the only building in the planned complex currently under construction. That 383-unit skyscraper, made by slotting prefabricated apartment boxes into a frame, will rise to 32 stories at the corner of Dean Street and Flatbush Avenue and include about 180 below-market-rate apartments.
Forest City Ratner had originally planned a green roof as part of its bid to get Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification, an eco-friendly design standard overseen by the U.S. Green Building Council, company head honcho Mary Anne Gilmartin said in a statement. The arena got its green certification without the flashy feature, but wanted a "more direct connection" to the plant-covered subway entrance in front of the arena, according to Gilmartin.
The overhaul will apparently obscure the gigantic rooftop logo of British financial giant Barclays, which paid $453 million to U.S. and British authorities in 2012 for its rigging of international interest rates.

Planning A Weekend Getaway To Sri Lanka? Then Check Into The Quirky And Budget Bunkyard Hostels
Bunkyard Grooves
Bunkyard Sri Lanka is located in central Colombo, in close proximity to all commercial and tourist locations. The building is made up of all recycled and upcycled materials, locally sourced and so Bunkyard does their bit for the environment as well. The facade is inviting and appealing, and calls you inside. At the entrance, don't forget to look above you at the Tuk Tuk {yes, you read that right} which has been used as decor and the pretty foliage surrounding it. The entire hotel is based on the concept of a junkyard with bunk beds, and this place is just oozing with quirk.
You find something new here every day, and here you can make new friends, along with your old ones. It's like you're sitting in the world's cleanest and best-looking warehouse when you enter the common area. You can play board games, chat or just relax with a book. They've got some cool pipe art as well, with plants and even funky light fixtures inside. Wall murals, sculptures made out of waste, art all along the walls, that's Bunkyard for you.
Cheap And Best
You can get private rooms or bunk beds {single and double} here. All rooms come with attached bathrooms and the common bathroom is straight outta a grunge rock music video, but very clean. The beds come with attached plug points and clean linen, along with lamps. The hotel has free WI-Fi and breakfast too! There's a common dining area, with crates, benches and barrels as seats. The private bathrooms have bathtubs too {this is the affordable luxury, at its finest} and now that we've started talking about Bunkyard, it's difficult to stop. They have 4,6,8 and 12-bed dorms, some exclusively for women. A single bed can be booked for as low as INR 700.
Things To Do
The National Museum is 400 metres away from here and Independence Square, a kilometre away. For some grub, head to the nearby Santori Bistro for some pizza and relaxed vibes. Visit Upali's by Nawaloka for some yummy Sri Lankan fare. The hostel options for buses to the east coast which you can explore.

Yesterday, mortgage backed securities took their direction from treasuries and sold off about .25 in discount. As mbs sell off and move lower in price, it causes interest rates to move higher. So far this morning we have regained all we lost yesterday and some. Treasuries are rallying higher which is helping mbs improve this morning.
Today we got the release of consumer inflation numbers in the form of the consumer price index(CPI). Economists where expecting the overall reading to come in at a month over month increase of .3 and the actual reading came in right on expectations. The core reading, which strips out food and energy, came in slightly higher then expectations at .2%. Year over year consumer inflation shows a 0.0% flat reading and this is the lowest level since 1955. So, we have yet another report showing that inflation is of no concern now and this is also the opinion of the federal reserve. The reason why inflation is the biggest enemy to low mortgage rates is that it eats away at the fixed return of the investment. A mortgage backed security, like a treasury note, pays investors a fixed rate over time. So, let's say an investor earns a fixed income of $10,000. What the investor can do is take that $10,000 and buy $10,000 worth of goods and services. Next year, when the investor earns the same fixed income of $10,000, can he/she buy the same amount of goods and services? Not if inflation is present because the prices of the goods and services he/she buys is more expensive. So, as inflation moves the prices of goods and services higher, the value of the fixed income return gets lower and lower over time. This is why inflation is the biggest enemy to low mortgage rates.
There are no other economic reports coming out today and as I have been typing this update, mbs have continued to move a little higher and treasuries continue to rally as well. I suspect that we will see par interest rates today anywhere from 4.75% to 5% depending on the lender. Early reports from fellow mortgage professionals are saying that lenders rate sheets are about .25 better this morning in discount. Like the past several days you should be able to keep your eye on the 10 yr treasury for a sense of how mbs are doing. Currently the 10 yr yield is at 2.76, and it that can continue to move lower, mbs should follow. Keep in mind, the yield and the price has an inverse relationship. As price moves higher, yield moves lower. So far this morning, the 10 yr is moving higher in price which is lowering the yield. If this continues, it should help mbs to move higher in price and the yield(interest rates) move lower. If we start to see a significant move one direction or the other, I will get back to you to let you know.

Editorial: High-speed rail plan on right track
A newly released analysis that showed the projected cost of high-speed rail has more than doubled - to $98.1 billion - has led some critics to suggest the idea should be scrapped. This would be a huge mistake for a state whose population is expected to grow by more than 10 million in the next two decades.
The California High Speed Rail Authority did exactly what it was asked to do: to make a clear-eyed assessment of the cost estimates, ridership projections and other assumptions behind this ambitious project. It also came up with a more systematic - and somewhat slower and scaled-back - plan for completing the link between San Francisco and Anaheim.
The upshot is that high-speed rail is going to be more expensive to build and more expensive to ride than voters were told in 2008 when they approved a $10 billion bond to get the project rolling.
"This is not a marketing plan, this is not a promotional plan - this is a business plan," said Dan Richard, a former BART director recently appointed to the authority by Gov. Jerry Brown in an attempt to bring fresh eyes and expertise to oversee the project.
"Sticker shock" was the phrase heard around the state Capitol when that business plan was released Tuesday. Senate Republican Leader Bob Dutton of Rancho Cucamonga (San Bernardino) called the project a "boondoggle that needs to be derailed."
No one was cheering the dose of reality. But this was a moment for Californians to take the long view. The stresses on our airports and highways are only going to intensify, as is the pressure to reduce carbon emissions. A $98.1 billion outlay for high-speed rail must be measured against the alternative. Creating equivalent capacity with 2,300 miles of highways, 115 new airport gates and four new runways would cost $170 billion - with a far greater impact on the environment, the business plan calculated.
None of the rail authority's numbers should be treated as gospel. They will be subjected to independent scrutiny in the months ahead. But as state Treasurer Bill Lockyer observed, for too long the authority's held a reverence for the "big dream" of high-speed rail but "showed little taste for confronting economic and political realities. That attitude has changed."
The size of the numbers and the magnitude of the challenge should not deter Californians from pursuing this dream. As Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin put it, Interstate 5 was once called too expensive and a "road to nowhere" when its construction began in the Central Valley.
The new business plan addresses one of the provincial concerns on the Peninsula: It proposes to blend the system with an electrified Caltrain, allowing the two train lines to share tracks and minimize cost and disruption. "It saves literally billions," said state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, who had joined Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, and Assemblyman Richard Gordon, D-Menlo Park, in pushing for a blended system.
The planning for a high-speed rail system appears to be moving in the right direction with a business plan that is decidedly more pragmatic, realistic and transparent than anything Californians had been presented to date.
Sticker shock
The High Speed Rail Authority's newly released business plan includes these estimates and recommendations.
-- The cost of a high-speed rail line between San Francisco and Anaheim will be $98.1 billion.
-- The rail line would be completed in 2033.
-- Private investment would need to be raised to cover about 20 percent of the cost.
-- The system would be built in segments.
-- The initial 130-mile stretch of high-speed rail would run from Bakersfield to north of Fresno.
-- Construction of the first segment (which combines state bond money and federal stimulus funds) would begin in October 2012.
-- Cost of a ticket between San Francisco and Los Angeles would be $81 in today's dollars.

Today, Vice Prime Minister Vyacheslav Kyrylenko held a meeting of the interdepartmental working group on the preparation and holding of the International Forum devoted to the 85th anniversary of 1932-1933 Holodomor in Ukraine. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Ukrainian World Congress, the Public Committee for the Commemoration of the Victims of Holodomor-Genocide 1932-1933 in Ukraine, representatives of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Information Policy, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance, Kyiv city state administration.
Vyacheslav Kyrylenko stressed on the need to coordinate the efforts of all executive authorities in the process of preparation for the International Forum devoted to the 85th anniversary of the Holodomor as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people. The Forum will take place in late November 2018 in Kyiv.
"The main purpose of the Forum is to disseminate truth about the Holodomor and to continue the process of recognition by the global community of 1932-33 Famine a genocide against the Ukrainian people", Vyacheslav Kyrylenko accentuated.
In this context, the participants of the interdepartmental working group discussed organizational issues and voiced proposals to the program of events. On the outcomes of the meeting the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance was commissioned to summarize the proposals of the working group members and to submit a revised draft concept and program of events at the next meeting.
It is planned to invite heads of state, government and parliament, government officials, leaders of international organizations, scholars engaging in investigating the Holodomor, representatives of educational, museum and cultural institutions to participate in the International Forum.
Pursuant to the Decree of the President of Ukraine dated November 26, 2016, "On measures related to the 85th anniversary of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine - Genocide of the Ukrainian people", the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine set up an Organizing Committee for the preparation and holding of events to commemorate the 85th anniversary of 1932-1933 Holodomor in Ukraine.
For the first time, the International Forum devoted to the Famine theme was held in Kyiv in November 2008 to mark the 75th anniversary of the genocide.

I'll bet some of you are like me; your home workshop leaves a little to be desired, size-wise. Mine is the garage. This means you have to be creative in how you set it up and what you stock it up with.
Using Benchtop Power Supplies
Since your work space comes at a premium, this means a lot of benchtop power tools. A grinder, drill press, table saw, and more. This means installing a convenient benchtop power supply. Mine is in the form of a heavy-duty strip.
Since my workbench is on locking casters, when I move it around I connect it with a heavy-duty extension cord. If you do this, do it safely and be sure it can handle the load!
Using Benchtop Tools
Although my bench has a large drawer (boasting my very first attempt at hand-cut dovetail joints), it's pretty much wide open to store the tools that rotate off the top, depending on what project I'm working on.
When do I need to wheel it out? Mainly to use the benchtop table saw with extensions.
Future Workshop Plans
As you can imagine, the work, uh, I mean fun, is never done. The woodshop is the ever-evolving beast. In the future, I'd like to...
- Design and build a good dust collection system.
- Find a more efficient way to store lumber.
- Re-design my odds-and-ends storage.
So, instead of doing, I sit here writing. But I am a freelance writer to support my DIY habit. You can relate, right?

J Soc Clin Psychol. 2010 May 1;26(3):362-384.
Radcliffe AM1, Lumley MA, Kendall J, Stevenson JK, Beltran J.
Studies suggest that written emotional disclosure can improve health. Unknown, however, is whether the presence or absence of an audience for one's disclosure matters, and whether time management control writing has any effects. Undergraduates (N = 165) with unresolved stress were randomized to 1 of 3 groups that wrote for 4 sessions: shared written disclosure (submitted to researchers), private written disclosure (not submitted), or time management control writing; or to a fourth group (no-writing control). At 3-month follow-up, the two control groups were equivalent on outcomes. Both shared and private disclosure resulted in less cognitive intrusion and avoidance than the combined control groups. Yet, shared disclosure reduced depression and interpersonal sensitivity more than either private disclosure or the control groups, and only shared disclosure reduced physical symptoms. Although truly private writing improves cognitive stress effects, shared writing has broader benefits, suggesting that social disclosure for one's writing matters.

Wake Forest Power begins load management switch changeout
Wake Forest Power has initiated a project to upgrade the load management switches for all participating residential customers. The initiative will require technicians to replace nearly 1,000 switches throughout Wake Forest Power service territory over the next several months.
Wake Forest Power customers are not required to take any action, but are encouraged to be aware of the following:
All Wake Forest Power load management participants will receive a new load management switch;
Switch changeouts will be performed by uniformed Wake Forest Power technicians Jeremy Vargo and Kevin Blackburn. The technicians will be driving a white utility truck displaying the Wake Forest Power logo. Vargo and Blackburn will be wearing dark blue pants and tan, gray or blue shirts that also bear the Wake Forest Power logo. Technicians will be required to display proper identification badges and knock on your door prior to beginning work. Technicians will also provide a business card with complete contact information upon request.
About Load Management
Load management is a means of controlling the amount of electricity being used at any one time. When periods of peak demand occur, load management is used to reduce the demand and lower the cost.
Customers who participate in any of Wake Forest Power's load management programs allow the installation of a load management switch on their electric water heater, electric heat strips or central air conditioner. During periods of heavy demand for power, radio signals to the load management switch cycle the controlled units off. The more switches in place, the greater the impact of the load management program.
Wake Forest averages approximately ten days per month load managing. Typically, peak times occur on hot summer afternoons between 2-6 p.m. and cold winter mornings between 7-8 a.m. Customers participating in any of the load management programs usually do not notice when their load management switch is activated.
The Town of Wake Forest offers load management incentives to its existing residential and commercial customers, while installing load management controls on all new residential services.
For more information about Wake Forest Power's load management switch changeout program, email Electric Meter Supervisor Jeremiah Swann at email@example.com.
