What is the first day of the week? Any Spaniard will unhesitatingly answer Monday. This is what our wall calendars suggest by placing this day at the left end of the metaphorical boulevard—time is itself a metaphor—of the week, and traditionally highlighting it with red ink in recognition of its sacred nature in Christian tradition. It is also indisputable that the term weekend, which we literally translated into fin de semana, packs Saturday and Sunday together into a double-day gift—by the way, my students are always surprised to learn that weekends as such have not always existed just like mountains or tax collectors, but were invented by the bourgeois when they came to have enough money to fall ill with spleen. There is still further evidence in support of Monday. When someone has a tendency to block the free transit of people around the house by forgetting their body in the most inconvenient spots, in Spanish we have this saying that goes, 'You're always in the middle, just like Thursdays!' Which confirms beyond all reasonable doubt that weeks start on Monday. Maybe not a groovy kind of day to begin anything, but hey, Friday is around the corner, or so they say.
It is thus surprising to find that our closest neighbors—the proud winners of the latest UEFA European Championship and, more importantly, the latest Eurovision Song Contest—should refer to Monday as segunda feira 'second day'. Sunday would thus arguably be the primeira 'first' one—even if the Portuguese, for reasons only they could explain, do not call it that way but domingo, just like we do. And if we were to extend the inquiry to farther places and cultures, we'd find that in many of them Sunday is reckoned as the beginning of the week, presumably for the same reasons that lead us to print it in red. Again, day names can be quite revealing—in German, Wednesday is called Mittwoch, literally 'middle of the week'. I guess Germans insult their annoying relatives and friends by comparing them to Wednesdays rather than Thursdays. The designation might also be assumed to allude to the working week, but this is unlikely if we take another look at calendars.
Indeed, in those other traditions Sundays will usually be placed on the left side. This, together with the fact that they rarely use red for emphasis, has made me incur in a few misunderstandings when looking up a certain date on German and North American calendars without caring to remember about cultural differences—not quite unlike those times when I pressed the B button in elevators, only to find myself at the basement instead of the bajo, i.e. 'ground floor'. Even in Japan, where Monday is curiously dedicated to the moon (getsuyôbi) and Sunday to the sun (nichiyôbi)—there is obviously a historical explanation—precedence is granted to the latter day. Well, we can concede this system has the advantage that the week will both begin and end with a free day, provided the Japanese are allowed to take two consecutive days off, which looks like a bit too much.
So who is right? The discrepancy could only be solved if it were posible to go back to the first week ever and see where it started from. We know it took God six days to create everything, and then He rested on the seventh one and made this day holy (Genesis 2: 2-3). Unfortunately, the Bible does not specify whether this seventh day was a Saturday or a Sunday—but, being a Jewish text, it most likely refers to Sabbath. Not that I mean to balance forces with bizarre arguments, but well, would it make any sense to undertake such a colossal task as the creation of the universe on a Sunday? Besides, on what day are all those diets supposedly going to be started?

My Ivory Tower
- Karin Huxman - Romance Author
- My name is Karin Huxman and I write romance for New Concepts Publishing. You can find my author page at http://newconceptspublishing.com/karinhuxmanbooks.html. I write a mix of time travel, contemporary, paranormal, and sf/fantasy and love every minute of it.
Thursday, July 24, 2008
I'm not complaining, I know I'll get back to a regular writing schedule again. It is a matter of will power. Not only that, the story will not be denied for long. I'll wake up one morning and be beckoned to the computer instead of outside. My story will take me by the hand and insist that I write it. I love it when that happens. Until then I'll putter and walk and read. I'll fill my creative well with sensory images that will make my muse swoon and my story gasp with delight when I finally come back from my summer writing doldrums. For now, I think I'll find a glass of iced tea and a spot in the shade of the aspen outside along with a book.
What about you? How do you cope with summer and all that tempts you away from what you should be doing?

Hey Karin,
I cope with summer and NOT writing all that much by looking forward to the fall once school starts. Now, mind you, my kids are both in college but there is something about the summer being time off for me too that keeps me from a daily grind. LOL
- July 24, 2008 at 10:00 AM
Hi Karin!
Yes, summer can be challenging! I'm trying to stick with a minimum of 2 pages per day. Often once I get going, it ends up to be more than that. Funny how sometimes it just takes a little nudge to get you going, to open that document on your computer, to read the last paragraph you wrote, and then wham, the flood gates open and the words appear and the page numbers increase. Progress! :)

Hi Lana,
Yes, once I'm in the zone I just keep going until some internal timer says to stop for a while. Just hard getting it going right now. Sometimes I'll take my alpha smart to a cooler corner of the house and play with a scene or something new just to feel like I've written something. LOL

Hi, Karin, I don't know what to tell you. When you live in God's country you just have to get outside and enjoy it. Nighttime is a wonderful time to sit at my computer with the crickets singing and give into the muse. Daylight, too much green and mountains, you really have to enjoy!
- July 24, 2008 at 6:25 PM
i don't think i cope. i just hear the alarm and know that i have too many people counting on me in all aspects of my life... so i just get up and go to work and take care of everyone. argh.

First mid-engined Corvette feels like a huge step forward from its predecessors, but the critical question is whether its bargain price will translate to non-American sales
The Chevrolet Camaro comes to the UK with a proper muscle-car naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 engine, can it prove more compelling than the Ford Mustang?
The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 cracks 0-62mph in 3.1sec
The brutal Z06 offers more performance than cars costing considerably more, but its refinement leaves a bit to be desired
Is this seventh-generation model the most important Corvette since the 1953 original - or is it best consigned to history?
The Chevrolet Volt is an extended-range vehicle with an electric motor and a 1.4-litre petrol engine, and it makes the electric car viable for the masses
Chevrolet enters the compact crossover segment with the boldly styled and well equipped Trax
It's now on sale officially in the UK, so would you want to buy one?
This smaller, lighter, faster Chevrolet Corvette continues to fly the flag for the old-fashioned, all-American sports car
Chevrolet's seven-seat soft-roader is decent enough, but its high price pitches it against rivals it can't beat
Chevy city car offers lots of space at a temptingly low price, but the supermini segment is filled with similarly affordable rivals that make for tough competition
Any rivals who take the Chevrolet Orlando for granted may be in for a shock
The Chevrolet Cruze raises the bar for Chevrolet, but not for rivals including Skoda, Hyundai or Kia
The Chevrolet Aveo is a well-executed, competitively priced supermini which majors on refinement rather than driver involvement
Flagship version of Chevrolet's Europe-bound Malibu is practical, smooth and well-finished

We had depleted most of our leftovers, so I concocted this chowder for supper. The kids wouldn't "touch it with a ten foot pole," but Larry and I thought it was very good. I love succotash! This is almost fat free and contains loads of fiber! I threw together a few corn bread sticks to go with it. Yummy!!
Succotash Chowder
1 (14 ounce) bag frozen lima beans
2 cans chicken broth
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 onion, chopped (I used ½ cup of frozen.)
1 can Ro*tel tomatoes, drained (If you don't want the "heat," just use stewed tomatoes.)
1 can creamed corn
1 can Mexi-corn
Cover limas with broth, bring to a boil. Boil for about 3 minutes. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes. Add potatoes and onion. Continue to cook until potatoes are fork tender - about 10 minutes. (Depending on how thick you like your soup, you may want to remove a bit of the broth at this point. Just use a measuring cup to scoop out a bit of it.) Add drained Ro*tel, and both cans of corn; heat through.

Michigan dropped to 30th place in the nation for Child Well Being after being among the best states in America for quality of life. And on the measure of secure parental employment, Michigan ranked 47th -- near the bottom. What's more, 36% of Michigan's children in 2009 lived in households where none of the caretakers had employment.
Michigan ranked No. 30th this year (No. 1 is best) for child well-being. On the measure of secure parental employment, Michigan ranked near the bottom — 47th. Unfortunately, state policymakers are making cuts to programs that will move our state in the wrong direction.
These numbers are from two years ago and are likely only to have increased since then...and of course Michigan's political figures have since then slashed the Michigan earned income tax credit for lower income workers, they've removed the child tax credit, and they've limited welfare help to 4 years RETROACTIVE to 2006. As of September this year, over 30,000 more people will be shoved out on the street, most of whom are children.
For those who callously shrug these figures off as some unfortunate grim reality needed to make Michigan a more economically competitive state...child poverty does not bode well for a strong economic climate.
I've reported before about how child poverty in America is a tremendous drag on America's economic potential, costing us as much as 4% of unearned GDP since many children born into poverty tend to have long term health problems, they rarely achieve the education required to compete in a modern economy, and a larger percent turn to crime and end up costing the system money in lost potential talent as well as the cost of locking up these people.
Michigan's child poverty numbers are a horrible harbinger of long term economic decline, and a moral stain on a state that doesn't give a crap about innocent people who cannot fend for themselves or care for themselves.

Negotiating in Daily Life
Andrew Kline
About the Author
You Too Can Negotiate Your Way to Happiness!
Dear Reader,
Let me ask you a simple question. Do you treat the people you love as well as you do complete strangers? Come on now, that isn't a trick question. If you have to spend too long thinking about it before you answer, you need to read on. There is a ton of information available to teach you how to be successful, especially on the job or in business. But, what about your personal life? How much time do you spend cultivating your personal relationships? What about friends, neighbors and acquaintances? How well did you fare during your last automobile purchase? Were you able to bargain or did you feel intimidated and just wanted to get through the process quickly and be on your way? Again, we think nothing of spending time and money to acquire training to improve our business life. But when we come to our interpersonal relationships we just coast along day after day taking life as it presents itself. Sadly, taking this course of action can lead to disastrous results. The headlines are filled with stories of broken homes, divorce and yes, even violence all stemming from our inability to negotiate our private lives.
Is There Another Way?
Yes, there actually is another, better way which brings us to our author. Andrew Kline relates very well to the art of negotiation or at least comes pretty darn close. Experienced in sales, Andrew perfected his negotiation skills on the job but even more beneficial, he was able to extend the art of negotiation to include family, friends neighbors and other people encountered in his daily life. He has taken those skills and created an instructional handbook that you can use to improve your day to day interaction with your friends and family.
What Will I Learn?
The title of his handbook says it all – "Negotiating in Daily Life." Ask yourself these three questions:
- What if you could learn what barriers influence your communication?
- What if you could learn that BEFORE you have a confrontation?
- What if there were a way to negotiate a mutually beneficial solution?
Well, you can, there is and we'd like to show you just how simple it can be. It's actually pretty simple once you have the right tools. Negotiating your personal life is far more rewarding than just business negotiating although Andrew does cover that as well. You provide a positive attitude and we bring out the right tools. You'll find those tools inside "Negotiating in Daily Life." It's really all about how to take the skills that you probably already have and applying them to your personal interactions.
Some of the best parts are:
- It's very easy to read.
- It starts teaching you the tools from the very beginning
- The price is ridiculous!
Our author has created a comprehensive guide that will help you learn how to approach the opportunities for negotiating in your daily life. You CAN do this. Take a look at what you'll uncover:
- Learn about selecting the right situations for negotiating.
- Helping you overcome disappointments and move on.
- How to overcome fear.
- Discover how to maximize motivation!
……. at just $9.97 this is a terrific bargain!

nano sim card
Nano SIM is both smaller and approximately 15% thinner than the earlier Micro SIM(3FF) standard as well as the Mini SIM (2FF) cards that were ubiquitous for many years and people commonly refer to simply as SIM cards.Apr 9, 2018
Nano SIM is the fourth version, or the "fourth form factor" (4FF) of the SIM standard and measures a mere 12.3 mm by 8.8 mm by 0.67 mm, but still holds the same amount of data as earlier SIM cards.Apr 9, 2018

After leaving the soccer field in November of 2015, Gabi has finally made her official return to the soccer field. She played in her first tournament in mid August. Our emotions were all over the place. As parents we were nervous, Gabi …well she just simply beamed. This survivor with a completely reconstructed right chest wall was out there kicking and throwing elbows like cancer never happened. It will still take time for her strength, stamina and speed to improve, but she's on her way!
"As her coach for close to five years, initially everyone was so sad when she was diagnosed with cancer. I'm so proud to have been part of this girls miraculous recovery. Her strength, commitment, love for life, belief and overall determination to overcome cancer is so admirable. Now she's back stronger than ever playing the game she truly loves with Dash 02 West." Ivan Ruddle, Head Team Coach, Dash 02 West.
"I feel extremely grateful to just get back to a normal life. I was determined throughout treatment to eventually get back to the soccer field with my friends. My friends and soccer coach will never know how much their support meant to me in my recovery." Gabi Gray, Dash 02 West.

SOMERSET County Cricket Club will oversee the 'Somerset Performance Pathway' from the start of next month, it has been announced.
This means that responsibility for all age group squads, the 'Emerging Player Programme' and Pathway Centres for boys, girls and women's cricket will move across from the Somerset Cricket Board (SCB) to Somerset CCC.
The SCB, created in 1994, is the governing body for recreational cricket in Somerset - supporting clubs, schools volunteers and running the county's representative teams.
Based at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, the SCB's stated aim is to "develop cricket at all levels throughout the county", and its overseeing of the Performance Pathway has been rewarded with a steady stream of talent into Somerset's 1st XI and also international level.
Today's SCCC/SCB statement says: "The restructure of the Somerset Performance Pathway has been designed in order to effectively align within the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) County Partnership Agreement (CPA).
"In short, this is an agreement between the counties and the ECB, which will administer the growth, governance and funding of a number of areas within the game in line with the ECB's overarching Inspiring Generations strategy, which is designed to ensure a prosperous future for the game at all levels.
"Previously, the responsibility of the Somerset Performance Pathway has fallen within the remit of the SCB and since 2016 there have been eight debutants in the Somerset First Team that have progressed through the South West pathway.
"In addition to this, 12 players have been selected to play for the England Under-19 squad and six full International caps have been awarded to Somerset CCC players.
"The Women and Girls game also continues to flourish within the region, culminating in Somerset Women lifting the Division 2 T20 title in 2019.
"The Women's and Girls' Pathway has already provided a number of exciting players including Sophie Luff, who helped Western Storm become the most successful side in Kia Super League history.
"The most recent success story has been Lauren Filer, who has been selected for the England Women's Academy and the Welsh Fire Women's Hundred squad."
Somerset director of cricket Andy Hurry commented: "Firstly, it is important that we recognise the success driven by the Board over a significant period in helping to foster and develop players aspirations.
"The system implemented under the leadership and support of Andy Fairbairn, Matt Drakeley, Sophie Luff, Laura Lewis and the dedicated coaches and managers of all the teams across county age group and performance squads has enhanced opportunities for boys and girls from within the county.
"They can be proud of the delivery and support that they have provided.
"Cricket development is evolving at a rapid pace and the adoption of the Player Pathway will enable us to provide enhanced support for our aspirational players.
"It will enable us to lean on the experience of the county in order to enhance the support that we provide to our talented players and move their experiences closer to that of the professional male and female game."
SCB executive director Andy Fairbairn said: "We are very fortunate in Somerset to have a complete Player Pathway.
"Our volunteers at clubs and staff at schools do a cracking job of providing playing opportunities, igniting a love for the game and facilitating individual development.
"The passionate and talented coaches and managers on the pathway work tirelessly in the winter and summer months to enable all players on the pathway to flourish.
"Crucially, Somerset County Cricket Club have an outstanding team of backroom staff who believe in West Country talent and developing our own.
"Switching responsibility of the male and female player pathway to Somerset County Cricket Club will ensure that more resource and expertise is available to the Player Pathway than ever before.
"It also enables Somerset Cricket Board to focus our efforts and resources more directly into our clubs, volunteers and communities to ensure the future participation and interest in the game is as high and sustainable as possible."

Dive Brief:
- The U.S. Department of Education has denied the Utah-based Center for Excellence in Higher Education a request to convert its business structure to nonprofit: "This should send a clear message to anyone who thinks converting to non-profit status is a way to avoid oversight while hanging onto the financial benefits: Don't waste your time," said U.S. Education Secretary John B. King Jr. in a statement.
- It is the strongest message yet of the federal government's determination to dissolve institutions that seek to receive federal financial aid funds while awarding students virtually unusable degrees and certifications.
- Other colleges should be wary of these steps, because the designation of financial risk applies to many of the nation's small colleges.
Dive Insight:
For-profit institutions are unlikely to appeal for nonprofit conversion after today's announcement from the Department of Education, but smaller institutions should be increasingly worried about the level of influence the government is yielding over an entire segment of the higher education industry.
While many for-profits were engaged in fraudulent recruitment practices, some for-profits with more integrity in their operations may also close as a result of the sweeping regulations against schools and accreditors. And while it may now be exclusive to for-profit schools, the broad approach in punitive regulation of institutions which may be struggling with enrollment or state appropriations may soon bear similar outcomes for nonprofit institutions, without continuing advocacy in rulemaking and policy monitoring.

Let's hope this is just a natural aberration.
Salmon run verges on a collapse
Sport and commercial fishing are in jeopardy.
By Matt Weiser - email@example.com
Published 12:11 am PST Wednesday, January 30, 2008
The Sacramento River's fall chinook salmon population is headed for a collapse, according to new federal data, threatening the upcoming commercial and recreational fishing season on one of the country's most important runs.
The fall chinook run in the Central Valley has long been touted as a conservation success story. As many other species declined, fall salmon spawning in the Sacramento River and its tributaries held reliably above 200,000 fish for 15 years.
But in fall 2007, the number of spawners suddenly fell to just 90,414 fish, the second-lowest total since 1973. That includes wild and hatchery-raised fish.
The news came in a memo e-mailed Monday from the director of the Pacific Fishery Management Council to council board members.
The numbers are preliminary and normally are not made public until February. But they represent a steep drop from the 2006 return of about 270,000 chinook.
"It's frightening to think how far we've fallen so quickly," said J.D. Richey, a salmon fishing guide on the American River, a key tributary that contributes to the Valley's chinook run. "It's pretty bleak."

Joe decided to go all the way with his haircut today. He seems genuinely pleased with the new look - check out that smile. Actually, we all got haircuts this weekend. Anna took off 14", Lydi got a bob, and Amaya shortened hers up too. I went in the to the barber for mine. I like the warm-shaving-cream-on-the-neck treatment.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Electrical Repair
Terry Meany | English | ISBN : 0-7865-4938-6 | PDF | 432 Pages | 6.38 Mb
This book is set up to give you a broad overview of electricity and systems first and follow up with actual projects, starting with the simplest. It's not an apprenticeship, but you'll have enough information to evaluate your system and make intelligent decisions about its condition and any need to upgrade. And you'll be a little more savvy when hiring an electrician
Electrical wiring, fixtures, and appliances have been part of our homes for almost a century, and they've been a wonder, unless your system is almost a century old! Then you have to wonder if it's safe, let alone satisfactory to meet the demands of a modern lifestyle. Even if you have a newer system, you may still want to make additions to it and extend its capabilities. In principle, this is just another remodeling job, but we treat wiring differently. Adding a circuit isn't the same as adding a cabinet. The chapters that follow will give you a better understanding of just what electricity is and how wiring systems work. We'll walk through the steps for everything from re¬placing a switch to wiring a bathroom. As you read, the mystery will slowly wear off as you start planning more lights, receptacles, and upgrades. You can even automate your house and set it up like one of the bad guy's fortresses in a James Bond movie.
Your work must always follow your local codes. Beyond that, you can add circuits and gadgets to your heart's content. How this book is organized:
Part 1, "The Basics: Out of the Dark Ages" : Before you do any electrical project, you need to know how your system works, where all those wires go, and what a service panel does. Snoop around your panel or fuse box and check out all of your electrical devices so you'll know what you're dealing with.
Part 2, "Safety, Tools, and Contractors" : Many construction companies claim that safety is their first concern, and it should be yours, too, especially when you work around electricity. The right tools are always a must, whether you buy, borrow, or rent them. A few words about contractors are included here, too, should you decide to hire the work out.
Part 3, "Components and Simple Repairs" : You have to start somewhere, so I'll start with defining switches, receptacles, and fixtures and then discuss how to repair and replace them. Troubleshooting skills will make some repairs easier and faster.
Part 4, "Power Hungry" : Part 4 deals with the big jobs: a new service panel and running circuits to kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoors. If you don't have gas or oil, you should read about electric heat (air conditioning, too).
Part 5, "Refinements" : Once you've taken care of the basics, you'll want to do more. Workrooms, low-voltage wiring, and security systems all have their say in this part. And who doesn't need a doorbell? Finally, a few thoughts on conserving electricity.

Oh God – that sounds EXACTLY like the kind of snake-oil salesman headline we should all run away from, doesn't it? But actually this is a pretty straight up technique that works if the keyword (or phrase) you want to get found for in Google is not super-competitive. I just did it twenty minutes ago and thought I would share it with the world … cos I am such a nice guy.
Step One: Choose A Low Competition Keyword
Actually this is the bit the snake-oil salesmen don't often mention when they boast of their Google SEO skillz – that SEO is easy when the comptetition is low. Trouble is, low competition these days usually means low amounts of search traffic gonna come your way. But in some cases, it still makes sense to try and rank for relevant keywords anyway. For example, it might be a tiny amount of traffic, but you still want that traffic regardless. This was the case for me today when I noticed that I do (did) not rank in Google for an important keyword to me.
Step Two: Make A Page That Targets Your Keyword
I needed to fix this situation, so I made a page called "website designer Belgrave". Now "how to target a keyword" is a topic for another post but at the minimum, you need to call the page the keywords you want to rank for and then include them a couple of times on your page. This is called on-site SEO and there's more to it than that, but not THAT much more.
Publish the page (or blog post).
Step Three: Submit the new URL to Google's Index
Generally, you don't really need to submit new pages to Google – unless you want to hurry things up. In my experience, they won't be very fast about indexing a whole site, even when you tell them about it, but they WILL be fast about indexing a single page.
How do you tell Google about the new page? You go to your Webmaster Tools account (if you don't have one then this is something you need to go back and do). Go to crawl >> fetch as Google. Submit the new URL in the submit-box-thing (technnical term). Then once google finds your page, submit it to the index. Not sure why but it is a two-step process.
Then go make a coffee, ring a friend or take the dog for a short walk. When you get back you just MIGHT find that your page has sprung to the first page of Google for the search term you were targeting. Then again, you might not. It worked just fine for me today, took about 20 minutes from when I submitted it to show up at position 7 on page 1 which is A) better than nowhere and B) a good start from which to crawl my way higher up the ranks.
So there you go!

A web-friendly way for anyone to build unusual displays
Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
interesting. I will be playing with this today :)
"AnyPixel.js is an open-source software and hardware library that makes it possible to use the web to create big, unusual, interactive displays out of all kinds of things. Anyone can fork the code and the schematics to create their own display at any scale."
Looks great -- I hope the documentation continues to improve -- the hardware documentation is well-suited to people with recent hardware experience, but something more accessible would be even cooler.

Reaping the Naga
Overview[edit | edit source]
- Speak with Su again when you are ready to eliminate the Naga.
- Escort Su through the cave and destroy any Naga you find.
- See Su for your reward.
Obtained From
- 100 Gold
- 1 Monastery Credit
- "So, you passed my brother's test. Well, perhaps you can be of some use to me, then. I need to clear this cave of Naga. They are little more than pests to someone with my powers, but for you, perhaps they will provide a challenge. In fact, this will be a good test for your abilities."
- "Take a moment to review the skills I am about to give you. Then, speak with me again once you are ready to test your skills."
Reward Dialogue
- "I see the Naga were not much of a challenge for you after all."
Walkthrough[edit | edit source]
This quest is extremely easy if you stay back and let Su do all the work, since the Naga are only level 2 and the occasional level 6 and 10. Su and your other allies will help you out a lot in this quest.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- When you accept this quest Su gives you the skills Barbed Signet and Soul Feast.
- Only one group of Naga spawns in the cave when you take the quest. You could go through the cave and kill all the naga before taking the quest, thus leaving only the one group which spawns. However, if you do this, you will not have the assistance of Su, Soon Kim, and Li Yun in clearing the rest of the Naga.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events occurring during childhood that not only put children at risk of immediate physical damage (for example, injury) but can also have considerable and potentially life-long impacts on the brain, the body, and behaviour. ACEs include exposure to all forms of child abuse and neglect, as well as living in a dysfunctional home environment affected by issues such as domestic violence or the chronic mental health of their care givers.
It was over a year ago at our first conference "Child Sexual Exploitation, Trauma and Resilience" that we first introduced foster carers and professionals to the American research on ACE's. We invited speakers to share their experience with our delegates. We screened the fantastic KPJR film Resilience, a very powerful documentary about the impact of ACE's on the short and long term health and wellbeing of children and adults based on the research undertaken by Vince Felitti and Bob Ander
Although a child may not recall every single incident that evoked in them a sense of fear or anxiety, the body itself is impacted over time. The science of "toxic stress" relates to the build-up of hormones as a result of repeated stress causing levels of toxicity which inevitably affects the way the body works, potentially resulting in many physical illnesses in later life. "A child may not remember but clearly the body does" says Shonkoff (2014)
Talking about the documentary film Resilience, the director, James Redford said "Think about a child who comes home and opens their front door and there's a bear in the room, and the bear roars. The child's adrenal glands begin to secrete cortisol. Blood pressure rises. Pupils dilate. Blood shoots from the stomach to the bigger muscles. This is a biological response to fear. The response of fight or flight. Now imagine that kid comes home every day. But when she opens the door, what she finds in the living room is not a bear but a mentally ill relative or a verbally abusive father or emotionally abusive parents or an unstable situation or no food or you don't know where your parents are." He goes on, "Your body will continue to have that biological response if you are in stress. But day after day, those chemicals – the adrenaline, cortisol, the process of high sugar, that whole response, changes the way your brain processes information. It affects the development of the organs on a cellular level. This continual exposure to stress wears the body down, makes the immune system not work as well, makes you more prone to cardiovascular disease, cancers and other immune disorders later in life."
I think we would all agree that childhood is not meant to be like this.
(ACE) studies have been carried out in a number of countries including England and Wales, since the original was published in 1998 in the United States. As part of the ACE study, a questionnaire was developed which can be used to establish an ACE score. The score is the number of ACE's that someone has experienced, with the maximum being 10.
There are 10 questions, which cover types of personal experiences such as physical, emotional and sexual abuse as well as experiences related to family members such as growing up in a household where there is drug, alcohol or domestic abuse. It is felt by some that the questionnaire has limitations as it doesn't assess everything, nor does it take in to account the age of the child, the duration and intensity of the trauma and adversity, nor if there were any safe or supportive relationships around the child at the time.
In an interview in 2017 with the Guardian journalist Paula Cocozza, Redford highlighted that what is considered a measurement of Adverse Childhood Experiences currently in the ACE Questionnaire may well change. He said, "Of course, we do not yet know what activities in the home may constitute future ACE's. Maybe one day questionnaires will ask, "Did your caregivers work more than 50 hours a week? Did they repeatedly look at their smartphones while you were trying to talk to them?"
I agree with America's Laura Porter, the co-founder of ACE Interface when she says that "This is the biggest public health discovery we've ever seen." It seems that many other experts across the UK agree too.
In their report Hardcastle and Bellis suggest "Whilst more research is to be undertaken, growing international evidence highlights the long-term impacts of early life experiences on health and wellbeing. In NHS Scotland there has been an overwhelming embracing of the research and the need to be more trauma informed.
Journalist Paula Cocozza concludes in her guardian article in 2017 "The idea that exposure to difficult experiences in childhood might lead to health problems is a familiar idea. A child might self-soothe with drugs or food, become dependent or obese, and in turn have ill health. But the ACE research uncovers a different kind of connection – a response to stress that is biological rather than purely behavioural, which can cause serious illness, and is a stronger predictor of coronary heart disease than high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even smoking".
As noted above the ACE scores don't record the positive experiences in early life that can help build resilience and subsequently protect a child from the effects of trauma. For example having a grandparent who loves us, a teacher or foster carer who understands and believes in us, or a trusted friend we can confide in may mitigate the long-term effects of early trauma, according to psychologist Jack Shonkoff, "There are people with high ACE scores who do remarkably well, Resilience, he says, builds throughout life, and close relationships are key". We believe that this is particularly important when caring for children in foster care. We are focused on enabling our foster carers to build this close relationship with the children they support.
Psychologist and Author Dr Karen Treisman, at our conference on Adolescence and Relational Trauma in November last year, shared her thoughts about building great relationships and shared a picture of an iceberg with the top exposed part labelled "The suffering you see" and the enormous part of the iceberg under the sea labelled "The suffering we never talk about" It's necessary to get to the bit of the iceberg we cannot see and that is a skilful process that relies on there being a trusting relationship as a foundation on which to build resilience.
We talk a lot about the creation of our trauma informed organisation. It was a determined effort on our part to build Moon and Back as an organisation that wholeheartedly encourages wellbeing at every level, so that the very people we are here to support, the children, can rely on great relationships which help them understand their trauma and supports them to build their resilience over time to achieve their true potential in life.

On Sunday April 21st, I went to Centennial Woods in Burlington, VT at 11:30 a.m. The temperature was quite warm, about 70 degrees C, and the morning was sunny with slight cloud coverage. As our time spent birding progressed, the cloud coverage became thicker but the temperature remained warm. The first bird seen was a Pileated Woodpecker beginning to peck at the trunk of a tree. Since the tree was dead, it is most likely that this Woodpecker was creating a nesting site for offspring. Two Red-winged Blackbirds, a male and a female, were seen rustling in a field of goldenrod plants. These individuals were most likely choosing a spot to nest and begin breeding. This species tends to defend its territory, so it makes sense that they were trying to find a spot with the best location and resources. Slightly later on, a House Sparrow was seen sitting in the top branches of a tree. The bird seemed to be very still, even during the approach of humans, most likely because they are very used to living with humans.
Throughout this time period, three Black-capped Chickadees, an American Robin, and two Canada Geese were heard. The Chickadees seemed to be calling to each other, possibly signaling a food source or a good nesting site. These birds are very social, so it makes sense that they would be communicating to each other for resources verbally. The American Robin displayed its "cheerio" call from what seemed to be high in a tree. Robins usually nest in trees in wooded areas, so this bird could have found a nesting site and was signaling to its mate. Although I didn't spot a nest, there could have been one already built that I couldn't see and the individual could have been calling for its mate to find it. Canada Geese were heard in what seemed to be calling out to each other. During the spring, mating pairs break out from flocks and begin to defend territories, which is probably the behavior that was displayed. Males may have been showing defense mechanisms of territory by honking at one another.
Nesting requirements of House Sparrows are very different when compared to other birds. They are typically found nesting in holes of buildings or other urban fixtures, like streetlights and signs. Since nesting requirements are not very strict for this species, this could be the reason the Sparrow seen was calmly sitting in a tree rather than finding a place to nest. There are many houses and buildings the bird could easily make its home. Unlike the Sparrow, the Woodpecker has a unique place of nesting, usually in cavities that they hollow out themselves. Because of this, Woodpeckers may be more territorial because of the work put into building a nest. The Canada Goose also creates nesting sites unlike either of these two species. Geese prefer open sites, usually near water, and lay their eggs in a hole in the ground. Canada Geese are mainly a monogamous species, so males spend less time guarding females and females can put most of their energy into nesting and brooding.
In response to the mini activity, three Black-capped Chickadees were heard in the 10 minutes of sitting in one spot and listening. The individuals seemed to be fairly close to each other, but ranging from about 15 to 20 feet away from me. Three individuals were heard one after another and this was the only species heard during that 10 minutes. Thinking about where these individuals were in respect to my location put into perspective the sociality and movement of this species.
On April 7th from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., me and two other classmates went to the Urban Reserve by the waterfront of Lake Champlain. The temperature was about 50°F, but the sky was overcast and slightly windy. The Reserve is near the lake, in a slightly wooded area, which might have influenced more birds to be present during our walk. During this time, we saw a flock of American Crows, 3 Herring Gulls, 2 American Robins, a flock of Cedar Waxwings, and 3 Black-capped Chickadees. As the weather gets warmer, we are starting to see more bird species present, along with more species that migrate North in the spring and summer.
Throughout our walk, we saw 3 Black-capped Chickadees separately. The birds were most likely alone because they are a resident species that do not migrate, so it's not necessary for them to travel in flocks. This species is able to withstand the cold temperatures of Vermont because of their ability to undergo facultative hypothermia and to change their diet based on available resources. The next species seen was the American Crow, where a flock of about 10 birds was seen circling overhead, all of them exhibiting loud "cawing" calls. They were most likely traveling in a flock because they were migrating from a warmer climate. These species are year-round residents of Vermont but may travel short distances South. This could be the reason that many more flocks have been seen recently compared to the winter time. As with the American Crow, the Herring Gull is also a year-round resident of Vermont, but some flocks may travel South for the winter. Three Herring Gulls were seen, with the first flying overhead and the next two following along a few minutes later. Both Gulls and Crows are facultative migrants, so it is likely that these individuals were in Vermont year-round, but the increased prevalence of these birds could be due to the introduction of spring.
The next two species seen are both obligate migrants, that travel to South of the United States in the winter and travel back up in the spring and summer. Two American Robins were seen in what seemed to be a display of aggression. Robins are less social during the day because they are defending their breeding territory, so this could have been an altercation over territory. The advantages of an early migration North could be that there's more available habitat, which will lead to less altercations, but a disadvantage could be limited food sources. Unlike the Robins, Cedar Waxwings are sociable and non-territorial. A flock of about 8 Cedar Waxwings was seen flying near the tops of trees and had probably recently arrived in Vermont. Because this species is social with members of their flock, these birds probably have advantages when foraging, which is why they have migrated early. The disadvantages could be that there is not much fruit available for feeding, but this is counteracted by the increased foraging efficiency of group living.
Mini Activity: Each obligate migratory bird probably travels roughly 1,000 miles. The obligate migrants (2 American Robins and 8 Cedar Waxwings) probably travelled about 10,000 miles combined. The facultative migrants (10 American Crows and 3 Herring Gulls) probably travelled much less based on their range. I estimated these individuals will travel about 300 miles, for a total of 9,000 miles. The total range traveled for all migrant species seen would be around 19,000 miles total.
On March 11th at 3 p.m., I observed the bird species present at the Gateway National Recreation Area in Sandy Hook, New Jersey. The weather was very warm (about 54° F) with light cloud coverage and strong winds. Sandy Hook is a national park on the coast of the Jersey shoreline, so many gulls were seen. The first species I came across was the Canada Goose, where I saw a flock of them occupying a grassy area at the entrance of the park. Multiple flocks of Herring Gulls were seen throughout my time there, and a Turkey Vulture was spotted flying overhead.
The flock of geese was seen near a road, most likely because this species has evolved to live near human-altered landscapes. The individuals seemed to be calling to each other with the classic goose "honk." This could be to signal a food source to one another or to find their mates. The individuals were walking slightly, but not moving very far from one another. This could be due to the fact that this species is monogamous and mates for life, so the geese kept each other in close company. A few minutes later, a Turkey Vulture was spotted flying overhead, identified by its dark plumage and large wingspan. This individual was most likely scavenging for food, possibly to bring back to its young.
I continued walking along the water and during that time, many flocks of Herring Gulls were seen. Although there were many flocks seen, at least a few in each flock exhibited a "keow" call, which signifies personal identification of individuals. This indicates that these individuals could be signaling to each other to find certain individuals, possibly mates. Some of the birds seemed to be showing lots of movement, flying short lengths along the coast, but they mainly stayed in a flock. This could be due to the fact that it may be easier to find prey in such an open, sandy area. As with Canada Geese, it is clear that this species likes to stick with other individuals of the same species because of the benefits of group living.
Every individual seen was fairly active, most likely because it was a sunny afternoon, which relates to the circadian rhythm of each individual. The amount of activity and foraging would most likely be different if it was late at night, when most individuals rest. The plumage of a Herring Gull is very light, which could be advantageous because of the habitat they occupy. These birds are normally seen by a coast, and in my case, they were all seen on the sandy shore of the beach. This lighter plumage blends in more with the light sand color, as opposed to the Canada Goose. The Turkey Vulture's dark plumage stands out, but there is no evolutionary disadvantage since this species has very few natural predators. In regards to the "pishing" activity, there were no small flocks of foraging birds seen during the time interval, possibly because of the location.
On March 3rd at 11:30 a.m., I examined the bird species present at Oakledge Park for 90 minutes. The weather was slightly cool (about 36 degrees), but sunny, which made it feel much warmer, and a light breeze. The slightly warmer weather and the presence of water nearby could have influenced more bird species to be present than at other sites. I walked through several trails in the wooded areas of the park, stopping continuously to note the various bird species. During that time interval, I saw a Northern Cardinal and a Herring Gull. Two Black-capped Chickadees were observed, one by sound and one by sight.
The Black-capped Chickadee seen was in the underbrush of a tree, seemingly rustling his feathers, which could be a mechanism for the bird to keep warm. The bird was most likely resting to save its energy for foraging, since Chickadees practice foraging less during the colder seasons. The other Chickadee observed by sound was heard shortly after the first was spotted, where we heard the classic chicka-dee-dee-dee call. It is difficult to know for sure, but I assumed the second Chickadee was signaling to the other that there is food nearby, since Chickadees commonly forage in flocks. During the night when temperatures get too cold for Chickadees, the birds most likely induce facultative hypothermia, in which their body temperature drops and they exhibit little movement.
After about 20 minutes of walking and observing, a Northern Cardinal was seen about halfway up a Pine tree, making short flights from branch to branch. It was moving slightly up and down and hoping from branch to branch of a handful of trees. The Cardinal was most likely putting more energy into foraging because of the slightly warmer temperature. While observing the Northern Cardinal, a dead snag was seen nearby, but no cavities were spotted. The snag was somewhat small, an estimated 10 feet, which might explain why no cavities were present, since animals would need a larger area to make their home.
While walking close to the water, a Herring Gull was seen gliding overhead, which I could identify by the high aspect wing shape. It is unsurprising that a Gull was seen near a body of water, because this species usually nests near coasts. I am still not completely positive that it is a Herring Gull, because of the very similar shape and color of the Ring-billed Gull, and at a distance, it was hard to spot a ring around the bill. During the walk, six snags were seen in total, and more were present in the deeply wooded areas vs. on the outskirts. Of these snags, four cavities were seen on the larger trees, with each cavity correlating to a larger size of the tree. Although no animals made the cavities their home, I did see a few insects exiting when tapped on. Snags are important habitat to natural wildlife that provide protection to vulnerable species, like insects and squirrels, in harsh winter conditions.
On February 4th at 1:15 p.m., I examined bird species in Centennial Woods near a stream for 90 minutes. The weather was warm (about 40°) but a very overcast day, which probably influenced more birds to be active than if it were extremely cold. The stream also might have influenced bird abundance in that area, causing more birds to be present near a body of water. During that length of time, many of the birds were identified by calls and only two species were seen visually.
The most abundant species seen was the Northern Cardinal, where I saw four in the underbrush of a Pine tree. The birds were flying from branch to branch, indicating foraging patterns of the Northern Cardinal. The Northern Cardinal exhibits sexual dimorphism, with males being a vibrant red and females being a pale brown color. This helped me determine that the birds were foraging and not performing a mating display, since there were no females present. This species exhibits short flights from branch to branch with rapid wing movements during foraging. I also noticed the round shape of the Northern Cardinal's wings. Relative to body size, the wings of this species are large. The Northern Cardinal is easily identifiable by its bright red color, but the rapid wing movements and short flight patterns could also help in identifying this bird.
The other species seen was a Blue Jay, which was flying overhead. The Blue Jay exhibited a direct flight pattern with steady wing beats and was flying a few feet above the top of the tree line. Blue Jays are known to travel lengthier distances to forage or find twigs to build nests, so I assumed this particular bird was foraging. I noticed the Blue Jay has rounded wings with feathers spread out in a fan-like pattern. The spread-out pattern of feathers most likely increases the thrust of this species, which allows them to travel higher and farther distances. Blue Jays also have a bright blue color, which makes them easily identifiable.
When comparing the Northern Cardinal and the Blue Jay, there were many distinguishing features observed between them. While Northern Cardinals forage by short flights on the branches of trees, Blue Jays travel farther and fly overtop of trees to forage. The rapid wing beats of a Northern Cardinal can help one distinguish the species compared to the steady wing beats of a Blue Jay. Although these features help identify the birds easily, the wing shape of both species is somewhat similar. They both have rounded wings during flight with feathers that are spread out. Although the Blue Jay is slightly larger than the Northern Cardinal, if both species were flying overhead, it might be hard to determine the bird based solely on wing shape.

'The Bachelor': How Can Ben Higgins Choose A Wife From Among His Loonies
Bachelor Ben Higgins, when you met your 28th prospective wives last night, Jan. 4, you were blown away by their beauty. BUT how about their bizarre behavior? How can you find a bride amongst these kooks?
Bachelor Ben Higgins, it must have been close to impossible to get a sense of 28 personalities in your first evening cocktail with your collection of bachelorettes. And of course, being a guy, it's understandable that your first instinct was pretty much to simply drool at the sight of 28 slim beauties with boatloads of long, glossy hair. Twenty-eight stunners vying for every second of your attention, including a set of identical blonde twins, must be every man's dream.
However, if you are genuinely on TV as The Bachelor to find a real-life wife, the producers of the show sure haven't made it easy for you. Aside from the fact that you have a gaggle of nonstop gigglers — something that should be annoying in itself for a 27-year-old software salesman (this is, after all, not high school) — you have a huge percentage of kooks in your bachelorette crowd. Can we talk about Lace, who you let through the first round, who's already obsessively stalking your every move? She confronted you about not making eye contact during the Rose Ceremony. This is not a woman that you could conceivably have a life with.
Neither could you possibly ever live with "chicken enthusiast", Tiara, who goes nowhere without her pet chicken…nowhere. Nor can you settle down with Maegan, a young woman who has to bring her mini pony with her everywhere, including to your opening night cocktail. Talk about baggage. Oh, and speaking of baggage, cross Mandi, the dentist who walked out of the limo with a massive fake rose on her head, off your list.She insisted on examining your teeth at the party. "I hope you floss," she told you. "I never kiss a guy who doesn't floss." Nice pickup line, Mandi. NOT!
Next, you have to x off the onesie and the unicorn head girl off your potential wife list. Who knows why they thought wearing bizarre outfits and accessories was a good idea? Oh, and then there are the blonde identical twins, Haley and Emily, who finish each other's sentences. These girls were so busy feeding into titillating guy fantasies about twins that they made no move to distinguish themselves as individuals. Now, Ben, you can't marry both of them, unless you want to become a Kody Brown-style bigamist, so you need to axe them off your potential wife list, too.
I get that ABC needs to have an entertaining show. I get that they need drama. But most important for the franchise is that they must have a successful romance. They need an engagement at the end of season 20, and they need a wedding. When the Bachelor finishes the season still being a…bachelor, it hurts the show's brand more than anything. Above all, readers tune in because they want a happy ending. They want a real romance that they can imagine happening to them.
With Ben Higgins' large collection of kooks, plus a mom of 2 and a virgin, it stacks the deck against that happy ending. Nothing against single moms or virgins, but realistically, is Ben really going to be ready after two months of dating anyone, to take on the responsibilities of fatherhood with Amanda or deflowering Becca? Probably not. Ok, so that eliminates almost a third of Ben's bachelorettes. And can I also point out that it's kind of lame that Olivia quit her dream job as a TV anchor just to vy for your heart Ben? That may have flattered you, and yes, you gave her your first impression rose, but it doesn't bode well for a real wife. Do you actually want to marry a woman that would give up her dream career, just for the chance to meet you? Sorry, but that's nutty, too!
So good luck, Ben, with your marriage hopes. Unfortunately, the odds may be majorly stacked against you. The last thing we want as viewers is another indecisive Juan Pablo or a Chris Soules, whose engagement crashes and burns just weeks after publicly choosing his woman.
Hollywoodlifers — are you not impressed by Ben's bachelorette nutbars? Let me know.

I got to know Bebek Bengil Restaurant was famous for their Bebel Bengil Crispy Duck which only in Ubud from online search. We try it out on the 1st day. The place was huge, with an outdoor garden nicely lit to achieve a great ambiance, with lots of running water and flowers. You can sit in traditional booths and make the experience a bit more "local". The walk through the garden towards the various dining rooms was delightful. The table we chose gave us a great view of the rice fields. Too bad the day was turn dark when we arrive there for dinner. Not able capture the rice fields view. Check more detail in http://www.indo.com/restaurants/bebek_bengil/ribs.
Bebek Bengil Restaurant
We order the BBQ ribs and Bebek Bengil Crispy duck. My husband and I love the BBQ ribs compare to the Bebek Bengil Crispy duck. The ribs portion was big. The price was reasonable cost less than RM60 including the drink.

Drobo Data & Disaster Recovery Services
Data Robotics offers a novel line of servers known as "Drobo Servers". In fact, the company is regarded as one of the most innovative server companies in the world today. Drobo Servers come with exceptional versatility and stability, and they are available as NAS, SAN, or RAID. The new generations of Data Robotics devices cater to a new mix of RAID levels know as BeyondRAID. This device allows to setup drives with different sizes in a RAID-like configuration. It comes with redundancy that permits up to three drive failures. The parity calculation will vary depending on the number and size of member drives.
BeyondRAID makes the Drobo devices quite flexible as well as easy to maintain. The devices also present some important challenges for data recovery professionals. In fact, slippage and data alignment may create significant obstructions. R3 has been able to design special software utilities for Drobo in order to allow for excellent success rates when logical and physical issues occur. The Drobo devices available today cater to typical types of redundancy, and they support many different configurations to match the specific requirements of the consumer. This is what has made the Drobo device a popular choice with home computing networks and small businesses.
Data loss is quite rare on Data Robotics devices. This is because their built-in redundancy helps the user to avoid common setbacks from issues such as single drive failure. But similar to any other server, Drobo box can fail completely, or several hard drives can fail before replacements are made. Our company offers a full range of data recovery services on all Data Robotics products.
Planning – Drobo Data Recovery
The configuration, size and the number of drives in your Drobo server have an enormous effect on the technique of recovery that we use. We may require the drives to be shipped to the closest laboratory depending on the situation. In our laboratory, we use advanced data recovery methods to recover all damaged hard-drives inside our class five clean rooms. First, we make a clone of each good drive and failed drive. This permits us to employ various methods to recover the data without any unwanted risks to the disks. All the methods we use are 100% non-destructive.
When the damaged hard drives are recovered, the server is rebuilt on-site using a combination of high-tech hardware and visualization software. This addresses any corruption issues that can occur during the Drobo server's failure. This will result in a full recovery of all the data in the server under most circumstances. The recovered data is transferred to return media afterward.
Make sure you contact an R3 engineer at 0800 999 3282 to discuss the available options for your case.
Error Messages On Drobo RAID
The error messages on Robotics devices can differ depending on the OS used by the client. Most of the drive administration are handled by the device itself which is a salient feature of the Drobo system. Because of this, the user need not worry about any sort of monitoring software. The LEDs located on the front of the Drobo will indicate whether you are experiencing any problem with a particular hard drive. If you notice a blinking red LED, it indicates a failure in one of Drobo's hard drives. You need to replace a failed drive as quickly as possible if you want to avoid data loss. If there are multiple drives that have failed, the Drobo may not display any data. It may even fail to display on your system.
The RAID-similar setup that is provided by the systems can make data recovery on the Drobo a bit complex. But the chances of recovery on a Drobo is much higher compared to other common devices. You need to gather as much information as possible such as the sizes of the disks attached to the Drobo's for this purpose. You will also need to know when these disks were added to the system.
Data Robotics Data Recovery Tips
In order to reduce potential downtime as well as maximize the chances of recovery, you need to shut down the Data Robotics device as soon as you find data loss issues. This will prevent accidental overwrites. If you find that a hardware failure is responsible for data loss, you should shut down the server immediately to prevent the worsening of the hardware's condition. You should never try to rebuild a failed SAN, RAID, or NAS system if you are not familiar with the symptoms of it or if more than a single drive is unresponsive.
Most Data Robotics situations will result in a full data recovery. You need to provide our engineers with all the important information about the device and its symptoms. This will help them design a unique plan for the recovery project. It may help you by working with your budget and time constraints. Give important information such as:
- Hardware or firmware failure
- Hard disk or SSD failure
- User error – NAS re-configuration
- Power issues or disconnection issues during firmware updates
All the aforementioned cases make it possible to recover the data with a high success rate of more than 97% in one of our labs. Drobo devices would support different storage configurations which will provide the end-user with different data protection levels. Single drive failure would cause single share folder issues.
Call us on 0800 999 3282 for a free quotation or more details about Drobo RAID data recovery systems.
We recover data from all Proware devices such as:
- Drobo Server
- DroboElite
- DroboPro
- Drobo S
- Drobo
- Drobo 5D and 5N
- Drobo Mini
- Drobo B800fs
- Drobo B800i
- Drobo B1200i
