As he prepares to leave, tomorrow, on the third leg of his quest to circumnavigate the perimeter of the United States, Bob Lee stopped by to say goodbye to Doug. We were actually just getting ready to head over to his house to say goodbye to him. Bob and Doug share something very different in common. They're both attempting uncommon feats as they raise funds and awareness for the Les Turner ALS Foundation. Bob and Doug are both members of the Les Turner board, and they further tune their efforts as they drive to their board meetings together. And through Bob's mentoring he and his inspiring wife, Anne, have become great, great friends of ours.
While I have always felt like I volunteered my photography for causes, Bob came along and quietly nudged me to bump it up more than a notch. I didn't even feel it happening and the next thing I knew I was everywhere with my camera and he was right there, quietly nudging more and more. For his cause, Ride For Three Reasons, I have been there nonstop. And during the next two months, as Bob rides his bike from Vancouver to Tijuana, I'll be writing some more about my friend and I promise some surprising and moving stories about his wife, Anne, who I want to be just like when I grow up. And, believe me, I'm not alone. Stay tuned.
Watch Bob's progress on his blog … www.3reasons.org
And PLEASE like his facebook page to show him the love while he's on the road … http://www.facebook.com/Ridefor3reasons.BobLee

The aim of this study is to investigate various central nervous system lesions of methanol intoxication in 17 cases autopsied in the mortuary department of the Council of Forensic Medicine in Istanbul, Turkey. The reasons of methanol intoxication in the cases was likely the unwitting ingestion of methanol while drinking illegal alcohol. Survival times ranged from several hours to days. In 8 cases (47%), cerebral edema and in 9 cases (53%) at occipital, temporal and parietal cortex, basal ganglia and pons, petechial bleeding was observed. In addition to these findings, hemorrhagic necrosis were observed in thalamus, putamen, and globus pallidus in 5 cases (29.4%) and, in cerebral cortex in another 3 cases (17.6%). In 3 of the cases (17.6%) in which cerebral edema was found, herniation findings accompanied to the situation and in 2 cases (11.7%), pons bleeding was observed. Around the basal ganglia, in 2 of the cases with hemorrhagic necrosis, the situation ended with a ventricular compression. In 7 cases (41%), the associated findings of chronic ischemic changes in cortical neurons, lacunae formation, degeneration of granular cell layer of the cerebellum, and reactive gliosis were considered as the results of chronic alcoholism. © 2010 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Yet another compilation…
CD 1 from one of many compilation recordings of the band. A lot of their "greatest hits", although I would have preferred a few more songs from Luke Kelly, rather than Ronnie Drew - mind you, I haven't heard CD 2 of this set, so the balance might be redressed there.
One thing I have wondered about before, and don't know if it's ever been mentioned here. "The Cook In The Kitchen" features uilleann pipes, presumably being played by a guest piper. Does anyone know who he / she was ?

Two Westbrook Junior College dental hygiene students read to, and visit with, eight school children in this 1964 black and white glossy photo taken in the DH Clinic (later Coleman Building). One DH student sits on the lobby floor of the Clinic with the eight children. One DH student stands looking down at the circle of young patients--made up of four little girls and four little boys.The seated DH student wears a white lab coat. The standing DH student wears a white dress uniform, banded cap and white shoes and nylons. The little girls all wear dresses; the boys, long sleeve shirts and slacks. In all probability, the children have walked to the Clinic from their school and are waiting for their turns to have their teeth cleaned.

Some time ago I read this quote from Judy Cannato. "The Spirit is creatively at work in this moment urging us to evolve, to become a new kind of human being such as the world has rarely seen before. But what has been rare must become commonplace." I hear you saying, "Give us an example. In whom have you seen the Spirit so creatively at work that they open doors to the possibility that we can, each one of us, evolve, become a new kind of human being? It's something to do with seeking to be true to the journey. It is a long process of transformation, as we gradually shed some of our old ways of reacting and responding and learn to trust a new reality that, at first, seems unfamiliar, and, therefore, fraught with anxieties and fears. It's about daring to hear the intriguing and alluring whisper that is always there even though we don't usually recognise it, the breath of the Spirit that suggests to us that there is something more. We can talk quite readily about humankind pushing out the frontiers of knowledge in the natural world, in science and technology, in space exploration as we come to grips with some of the myriad wonders of the universe; but what about the frontiers of the Spirit? What about the endless possibilities and wonders, at the moment lying dormant within me, within you that have never been explored? Are they waiting for an awakening, a moment of awareness, a resurrection, a new surrendering to God who is in the end mystery, the mystery of love? There is a great need in the present for people of faith to dare to listen for the whisper and to step up to the line, to be the change we want to see in the world, for the sake of the present and the future.
And all of this requires courage – good courage. It's easier to listen to the other perhaps more seductive whisper that, to paraphrase from Kipling, there's no point in going further; where we're at is the edge of cultivation. So we settle down; this is it. We don't expect anything more; we don't or can't believe that there's still something lost and waiting for us. And yet we are taught that God is a God of continuing revelation. He is our pilgrim God who invites us to journey with him in trust until we arrive where we started and, because of all our willingness to push out our 'inner' frontiers, to know the place, know ourselves, know God as if for the first time. Courage does not mean that we are not afraid. If we felt no fear then that would not be courage. A better definition is perhaps the more popular saying, "Feel the fear and do it anyway." The word courage comes from the French word 'coeur,' denoting the way of the heart. I like the definition of wholeheartedness – to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart. That seems to me a good working partnership between heart and mind. To follow such a way of the heart seems like total abandonment and most of us are not really ready for that – yet! Jesus was not immune to fear, but he went ahead, wholeheartedly. He walked the talk. Even knowing what was ahead, facing the cross in all its stark reality, he felt the fear and did it anyway. It is a calling on all of us who are people of faith. How we outwork that in our day to day lives will differ depending on our circumstances. As we approach Holy Week and then come to celebrate Easter, my prayer is that I and we may be of good courage for whatever lies up ahead and follow the ever-expanding way of the heart for the sake of this wonderful world.

5 Ways To Get More Self Belief"> 5 Ways To Get More Self Belief">
You can download and listen to the mp3 audio here if you prefer
Today I'm asking the question, what do you do if you're suffering from a lack of self belief?
This is something which happens to everybody at some point in their lives.
It probably stems back from when we're younger, when we're growing up and maybe our parents and our teachers might have said to us, "don't be silly, you can't possibly be that ballerina or that astronaut", or whatever it is we aspired to be.
Of course, they had our best interests at heart. They were trying to protect us when they told us that we wouldn't be able to do that.
The problem is that we then grow up with an attitude and mindset that we're not going to be able to achieve our goals and our dreams and that we're not good enough.
We have that lack of self belief going forward then throughout our lives.
So, what can we do about that?
There are several things and firstly, I would say, ask yourself, if you do attempt to do whatever it is that you're wanting to do, what is the worst thing that could happen?
Yeah, maybe you won't, but maybe you actually WILL achieve it, and is it really worth not attempting something just in case you fail? Failure is actually a massive part of success. No-one has had great success without failing, usually several times, along the way.
There's a great saying,
"whatever other people think of you is none of your business".
It really isn't and the chances are they're not thinking that anyway.
If you think people may laugh at you, yes its possible, but actually they usually don't. Normally it's all just in our own minds!
Create a 30 day, and a 90 day plan. Start with the 90 day plan firstly and then break it down into monthly ones, then weekly and daily. If you know what you're going to be doing each day it creates self belief as it makes it much more achievable.
Don't just try something for a few days and then say, ah, it didn't work. Commit absolutely to at least 90 days. If you continuously do something for 90 days, you will establish a habit and you will have made some progress. Commit to doing something every single day towards achieving your goal. Your self belief will increase.
Yeah, you're going to feel afraid. Feel the fear. Do it anyway. Work through it. Fear is something which everybody suffers with and it's just false evidence appearing real. Most of the time it's not real, it's just something we tell ourselves. So, just work hard to push through it and remember that you're not the only person to feel like this.
Everybody feels fear at some point in their lives, even the most successful people.
I can tell you a secret. Some incredibly successful people have told me that they still suffer from a lack of self belief at times even though they may have achieved everything or almost everything that they wanted to.
So, accept it's normal. Decide to work through it. To push through it. To feel the fear. To do it anyway. Stick to a plan and just work towards your goal. Don't let a lack of self esteem stop you. Please don't.
If you need any help, any more tips, please contact me at [email protected] or go grab some free trainings here.

The German philosopher Nietzsche poses a radical answer to the contemporary question: Is God dead? Nietzsche writes:
Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market-place, and cried incessantly: "I am looking for God! I am looking for God!"
As many of those who did not believe in God were standing together there, he excited considerable laughter. 'Have you lost him, then?' said one. 'Did he lose his way like a child?' said another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? or emigrated? Thus they shouted and laughed. The madman sprang into their midst and pierced them with his glances.
"Where has God gone?" he cried. 'I shall tell you. We have killed him – you and I. We are his murderers."
In the 1960s, the "death of God" sparked considerable debate within Christian and Jewish theological circles. Its primary exponents were Thomas J. J. Altizer, William Hamilton, and Paul Van Buren. Despite the differences, these three agreed that a transcendent God is no longer a part of the contemporary human experience. Jewish thinkers approach the "death of God" theology with a variety of different responses.
Indeed, some Jewish thinkers led by Richard Rubenstein, contend that the horrors of Auschwitz and Hiroshima are proof enough that the traditional view of God as a Redeemer was not longer valid or religiously meaningful to the Post-Holocaust era, or as the common secular might say, "God has gone on vacation." Richard Rubenstein claims that Auschwitz demonstrates human life has no essential value due to the lack of a transcendental purpose or process controlling the human condition. Ultimate meaning and purpose must derive from human beings and not from God. In effect, community has to take the place of God. Granted, religious precepts and rituals could still be maintained, but only as sociological and psychological props. Jews, as a result of the Holocaust, continue as a community but without the God of Judaism. Rubenstein's view represents a broad segment of the secular Jewish intelligentsia. On the other hand, some Jewish scholars would argue differently, believing that the "death of God" theology points to a loss or absence of the Divine in our contemporary age. Jacob Neusner notes:
"I do not understand the question what the "God is dead" theologians are saying. It seems to me they may be saying two things. First, the experience of the sacred, or God, is no longer widely available; second, that experience is no longer available in classical ways. Both of these statements describe Jewish existence, and have for some time, though we prefer to phrase them differently. I think it is clear that God is hiding His face from the world. . . .We are no longer able to approach the gates of heaven, surely not open them with the keys that used to work. God is "dead" for many Jews. In the Jewish community, even the flame of the Yahrzeit candle long ago flickered out. In the synagogue, however, Jewry still keeps up the graveyard. I do not despair. We Jews have passed this way before."[1]
Neusner's evocative image of the "graveyard" is suggestive of numbness, death and detachment. This metaphor would certainly describe the spiritual life of many modern Jews. Neusner's insightful words are revealing and may have antecedents in several rabbinic teachings that suggest that God has taken a leave of absence from the world. Some sages of the Talmud argued that the Divine Presence (a.k.a. the "Shekhinah") has retreated to Heaven. In the words of the Midrash, "When the Temple was burned, the Holy One (blessed be He) cried and said: I no longer have a seat upon earth. I shall remove my Shekhinah from there and ascend to my first habitation."[2]
Emil Fackenheim, one of the leading post-Holocaust theologians of the 20th century, observes:
Each denomination of Judaism seemed to want to keep God out of its modern religious lives. It allowed no room for a God dwelling beyond the world, yet entering into it to seek out man. He was an irrational incursion into a rational universe. At the same time, in its more congenial moods, modern thought gave substitute offerings to a deist "First Cause" or Cosmic Process outside man and unrelated to him, or an idealistic God-idea within him. Faced with this basic challenge, and these substitute offerings, orthodox and liberal Jewish theology both compromised. Orthodoxy held fast to the Jewish God, but confined His essential activity to a conveniently remote Biblical and Talmudic past, acting as though the sacred documents of the past could be exempted from modern criticism. Liberalism, for its part, wishing a present God, compromised the Jewish God Himself, now using the terms of Deism, then those of idealism, and in its still surviving forms the terms of a cosmic evolutionism.[3]
Another thinker, Eugene Borowitz also admits it is difficult to believe in a God after the Holocaust. He notes, "Any God who could permit the Holocaust, who could remain silent during it, who could hide His face while it dragged on, was not worth believing in. There might well be a limit to how much we could understand Him, but Auschwitz demanded an unreasonable suspension of understanding. In the face of such great evil, God, the good and the powerful, was too inexplicable, so men said, 'God is dead…'" [4]
The conundrum is an old one that was formulated by the ancient Greek cynic named Epicurus, who wrote:
"If God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able to, then He is not omnipotent.
If He is able, but not willing, then He is malevolent.
If He is both able and willing, then whence cometh evil?
If He is neither able nor willing, then why call Him God?"
The Catholic theologian Hans Kung gives the old Epicurean criticism a more modern reformulation:
Was God at Auschwitz? If God is God: all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good and loving, present everywhere, then of course God must have been at Auschwitz! But how could God have been at Auschwitz without preventing Auschwitz? How could God have looked on when the gas streamed out and the cremation ovens were burning?
Are the "death of God" philosophers and theologians correct? Maybe to some extent. However, one could argue that the Holocaust laid bare some of our childish conceptions of God that we unfortunately never outgrew–the concept of a Deity who is "All-Powerful," "Almighty," does not exist. Such a deity is more the projection of human beings' greatest wishes–just as Freud correctly diagnosed in his "Future of an Illusion."
One could argue that God's power always functions in tandem with human freedom; redemption in the Bible always requires human participation. Without human actors, there is no God of redemption. With respect to the Exodus, God requires that there be a Moses and Aaron; with respect to every redemptive story in the Tanakh, there are human beings who act as God's agent of redemption. Why is this so? The answer is simple enough: Human beings reveal God's Presence in times of sorrow, catastrophe, and loss. The question as Heschel correctly raised decades ago, is not, "Where was God during the Holocaust?" but, "Where was man?" Redemption never occurs in a spiritual vacuum.

ISPA reveals shortlist for Internet Villain and Internet Hero Awards
The Internet Hero and Internet Villain awards which have had a period of public submission so people could nominate people, companies or Government in each of the two categories now have had their final shortlists published. The ISPA Council will now decide on who the eventual winners are meeting ahead of the ISPA Awards which are taking place on Thursday 13th July at Café de Paris. Of course with the awards being in Central London we can expect no social media activity at the awards since London is a digital back water!
Nominations for 2017 Award for Internet Hero
- Marcus Hutchins, @MalwareTechBlog: for finding the WannaCry killswitch, shining a light on the tech community's fight against cyber crime
- Mark Jackson, the editor of ISP Review: for providing a helpful, user-friendly guide to the ISP market for the last 18 years for consumers and industry alike
- National Cyber Security Centre: for stepping up Government's cyber security capabilities
- Global Network Initiative & Access Now: for an international campaign highlighting the huge economic cost and social impact of internet shutdowns around the world
Nominations for 2017 Award for Internet Villain
- WannaCry hackers: for the ransomware attack that hit a fifth of NHS trusts
- Treasury and the Valuation Office Agency: for adding to the cost of broadband rollout with its excessive business rates revaluation
- Russia's communications regulator: for threatening to ban encrypted messaging apps
- President Erdogan: for cracking down on online freedom of expression, including blocking Wikipedia and social media
The Internet Hero and Villain awards are a fun and light-hearted way of recognising the great and good (and the not so good) in the Internet Industry. With Brexit looming, the UK's thriving digital economy has never been more important, which is why we at ISPA are so pleased to recognise those who enable and drive the UK's digital economy. The rather less coveted "Internet Villain" award is also a valuable opportunity to look at those who hinder this vital industry. We at ISPA look forward to finding out who will win on the evening of July 13th.ISPA Secretary General Nicholas Lansman
The winners in the main categories have already being decided by a meeting of the judges panel in June after the technical testing and shortlisting that saw some categories with over a dozen entrants whittled down to five or six entrants for the judges to consider for the actual award.
Why has PlusNet not been added to internet villain for it's poor speed overall. On their up to 40Mbps speed I get 22Mbps. And yes I know some people can get even lower speeds. But come on with the quality of the fibre cables I should get at least 30Mbps!

College students with software-coding expertise expect to be compensated handsomely for those skills, but the reality might not leave them as flush as they expect.
A new survey of 1,700 students conducted at "hack" events by Devpost found that 26% expect to be paid between $50,000 and $70,000, and 32% expect to earn between $70,000 and $100,000 a year. An optimistic 24% expect to make six figures.
Time for a reality check: According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average starting salary for computer and information sciences graduates is $65,849. That's nothing to sneeze at, and it's considerably higher than the average starting salary for all new bachelor's degree holders of $50,651 — but it's also no six-figure paycheck.
More than 90% of the students polled by Devpost also said that getting company equity as part of a compensation package was very important to them. They also expect the pay raises to keep coming, even though, as Quartz pointed out, annual raises aren't something workers — especially those just launching their careers — should count on these days. Just under 20% of respondents expected to make more than $150,000 annually within five years, and two-thirds expect to earn at least $70,000, Devpost found.
"Today's students are in high demand and their expectations reflect it," Devpost said. Whether or not those coding skills will come through for them once they're out in the job market remains to be seen.

The Best Places to Stomp Grapes During Harvest Season
Destination & Tourism Janeen Christoff September 24, 2016
It's officially fall, and that means the wine harvest season is in full swing with plenty of events to keep wine-lovers on the go all autumn long. One of the coolest activities oenophiles can partake in is grape stomping and USA Today's Ashley Day has several recommendations on the best places to get your grape stomp on.
In Sonoma, the 42nd annual Sonoma County Harvest Fair takes place Sept. 30-Oct. 2 and includes this event. The three-day event includes the World Championship Grape Stomp as well as tastings, demonstrations and more.
Teams from around the world come to compete in the championship for the $1,500 prize and even the kids participate, reports Day.
This weekend, Willamette Valley Vineyards hosts the 26th annual Oregon Grape Stomp & Harvest Festival — the winning team heads to the championship in Sonoma, says Day.
On the Central Coast, Paso Robles, Calif., hosts the Harvest Wine Weekend Oct. 14-16. Visitors will be rewarded with dinners, picnics, vineyard and winery tours, seminars, cooking classes and more. Five wineries in the area host grape stomps, says Day.
In the East, Sagaponack, N.Y., is where wine lovers can head to participate in Wolffer Estate Vineyard's Harvest Party on Oct. 8, says Day.

Chittoor Subramanya Pillai, fondly known as Chittoor-ar in Carnatic music circles, was instrumental in starting the annual Tyagaraja Utsavam at Tirupati, where the title, 'Sapthagiri Sangeetha Vidwanmani' was awarded to deserving musicians. Had he been alive, Chittoor-ar would have gone beyond a century, in terms of age. His service to music was remembered at a function organised by the Chennai Fine Arts, at Arkay Convention Centre, Mylapore, Chennai.
Chittoor-ar had his first music lessons from his father, Perayya and mother Mogilamma. He later became the disciple of Kanjeevaram Nayana Pillai.
Chittoor-ar was one of the earliest vocalists to cut 78 RPM records for Columbia Recording, at a time when the technology of recording was in a nascent stage. He cut two records containing his own compositions, 'Madhura Nagarilo', 'Kulamulona Golladana' and 'Mavallagadamma.' A feat to remember, indeed!
Credit also goes to him for writing the popular Telugu javali, 'Madhura Nagarilo' (Ananda Bhairavi), which has found a place in Kuchipudi recitals. Chittoor-ar held many prestigious faculty positions at various music colleges in Chidambaram, Tirupati, Madras, Tiruvaiyaru and Jaffna (Sri Lanka). His disciples included Madurai Somu, Bombay Ramachandran, Chittoor Ramachandran, T.T. Seetha, Loganatha Sarma and Revathy Ratnaswamy.
At the event, violin virtuoso Prof. T.N.Krishnan recalled his association with Subramanya Pillai. He said, "Accompanists were wary of Chittoor-ar. The reason was that his laya intricacies could put you in a spot of bother. I was too young to know all this and played for him many times. The experience was indeed comforting."
Chittoor-ar had cast his stamp on many kritis such as 'Guruleka' (Gowri Manohari) and 'Raanidhi' (Manirangu); while his Tyagaraja bhakthi was ineffable, Prof. Krishnan added. Those days, the special function he organised at Tirupathi was funded through his own savings, and this Krishnan remembered with a sense of gratitude.
Chittoor-ar's disciple Tadepalli Loganatha Sarma presented a concert that provided glimpses of his guru. The song selection had many of Chittoor-ar's favourites. 'Mavalla Kadhamma' was sung with feeling.
Sarma was accompanied by Pakkala Ramdas (violin), Trissur Narendran (mridangam), Trichy Murali (ghatam) and Venkataramanan (ganjira).

Meek Mill continues to make the rounds in promotion of his fourth studio album "Championships". Following his appearance on Hot 97 earlier, the Philadelphia native made his way to Angie Martinez's show on Power 105 to talk about a few things including going on a double date with JAY Z and Beyoncé, his relationship with Drake and more.
During the interview, Meek also spoke on Drake's beef with Pusha T. The 6 God during an episode of LeBron's Undisputed show on HBO accused the Virginia MC of crossing the line with his diss when he brought up 40's battle with multiple sclerosis, but Meek - who previously had problems with Drizzy - believes Pusha was well within the limits of battle rap.
"Ain't no such thing as going too hard. I would tell Drake that when I see him, too," he said. "I'm just tellin' you, I'm come from where niggas sayin', 'We will smoke your mom.' Like, 'We will lay on your mom and smoke her. Your dad is a rat. Your sister is a hoe.'"
Meek went on to point out how ruthless beef in this era can be and how he wasn't prepared for the jokes and memes that followed.
"It wasn't no rules on me," he said. "They got memes, all types of shit going on. I don't know what to do. I'm in the mix. I'm confused now," he explained. "Ain't no rules, though, you can take any stance you want, you can do it how you want. Just, you know, continue your legacy and be great."

Transformers: Infiltration #6
IDW Publishing (June, 2006)
WRITER: Simon Furman
ARTIST: E. J. Su
COLORIST: John Rauch
COLOR ASSISTS: Simon Bork, Mark Englert, Aaron Myers, Sunder Raj, & Kevin Senft
LETTERER: Robbie Robbins
EDITORS: Chris Ryall & Dan Taylor
Megatron is coming to, as Prowl put it, put his house in order. But Starscream is ready for him, supercharged on Ore-13. He's not as ready as he thinks as Megatron pretty easily hands Starscream his head module…before blowing it off. The Autobots arrive only to contain the battle, allowing the Decepticons to leave since this is too much for his little team. He heads back to call in the big guns, but as they return to the Ark they find Ratchet and the humans aren't alone. The biggest gun is there…Optimus Prime!
What they got right: Verity has a minor breakdown when the others tell her it's okay to be scared. Heck, all three of them held up better than I would, and Verity's being trying to be tougher than makes sense so she's probably earned that little moment. The reveal of Optimus was good, although we'll see more of him in the next two miniseries.
What they got wrong: So is this Ore-13 not all it's cracked up to be? Starscream can apparently move so fast his blasts come out of nowhere (or the artist goofed that panel) and send Megatron flying but for all the build-up, plus how it still factors with MASK in modern IDW titles, it's a bit of a let down. Megatron didn't seem to feel it. And the Machination shows up again. Do we really care about them at this point? RATT. Sector 7. MECH. The villains of Griffin Rock. Frankly, the Machination fails to impress even when they do matter to the story later on. The concept has been done before and better.
Recommendation: This first miniseries was pretty good; odd considering Furman's stories don't usually elicit a positive response from me. It's a good re-reintroduction of the Transformers to comics, and to this continuity. It's worth checking out, and there are more to come.

Shatta Wale was charged with offensive conduct conducive to the breach of peace, and Stonebwoy charged with the use of offensive weapon, display of firearm in public, and threat.
Both musicians appeared before an Accra Magistrate Court presided over by Isaac Addo.

What I wouldn't give right now to really be in Italy, to be walking ancient streets enjoying a gelato, stopping in a cafe for a sip of espresso, meandering through a museum and losing myself in the art, taking a tour of the country in an old European car passing by vineyards and Tuscan fields of lavender. A true dream that would be! Instead I find myself in an environment that is all too familiar, but I can't complain because I have three special blessings with me and, in fact, I have visited Italy several times before and have many memories, crazy, funny, scary memories! From my first day in Rome when my mom slipped off the curb and dislocated her shoulder landing us in an Italian hospital for hours, taking a step back in time with the beds all in a row and the more primitive measures (my poor mom had to wear an arm sling the entire time on our trip and was forced to buy several shirts that buttoned in the front so she could fit her little hand through and, me in my inability to remain straight-faced during these times could not help but laugh at her in her sorry state)….to the time when I was running with a college friend on my semester abroad and we found ourselves down on the riverbanks deep in the heart of a gypsy camp with wild dogs and tents all around (I've never run so fast in my life!)….to the time when my dear friend Jessica and I left my apartment in Paris for a weekend in Rome and stayed in a "bed and breakfast" (basically someone's master bedroom) and found ourselves on the Spanish steps surrounded by young Italian boys who, we realized, kept inviting us to go get some Gelato (making finger motions with their hands to indicate walking)…..
These are just a few of the many memories I have from my visits to this great land, one that I would visit every year for the rest of my life if I could.
Today, we found ourselves leaving Asia and arriving back in Europe to bustling streets and moderate temperatures, where delicious meals await us as we journey through Italia.
Our flag craft was appropriately made with pasta and paint. I got the idea from busybeekidscrafts.com and it was simple and easy for all three kids.
Today, the kids, particularly Tallinn, got a bit more creative with their maps as well and we decided to mount them on green paper to show off their talents.
After our craft we did some errands around town and it was fun to show the kids all the different Italian restaurants and things displaying the Italian flags. And, of course we will try to enjoy as much Italian food as possible this week so we started tonight with a bread and white bean salad (sorry no picture).
So, Italy, we are happy to be here and were digging in and enjoying our visit already.

Technical Report No. 184 - Abstract
Alberto Lluch Lafuente
First Attempts to Combine Symmetry Reduction and Heuristic Search for Error Detection
The state explosion problem is the main limitation of model checking. Symmetries in the system being verified can be exploited in order to avoid this problem. A symmetry relation on the system is defined, which induces a semantically equivalent quotient system of smaller size. On the other hand, heuristic search algorithms can be applied to improve error detection. Such algorithms use heuristic functions to guide the exploration. Best-first is used for accelerating the search, while A* guarantees optimal error trails if combined with admissible estimates. We analyze some aspects of combining both approaches, presenting an admissible estimate that allows A* to provide optimal counterexamples when combined with symmetry reduction. Experimental results are also included.

THE THIRD MIND BOOKS OCTOBER MONTHLY SPECIAL is titled "OFF-BEAT & LATE BEAT," and we've chosen to feature selections from the "Off-Beat" category of our site and key late works by definitive participants from the Beat literary epoch. Among the authors and artists represented are JOHN CAGE, PHILLIP GLASS, JEAN COCTEAU, ALLEN GINSBERG, WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS, RAY BREMSER, ED DORN, LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI, HERBERT HUNCKE, CHARLES PLYMELL, BONNIE FRAZER (BREMSER), CLAYTON ESHLEMAN, & MORE! All these enticing selections will be 10% off for the month of October only!
On September 21, 2017 our founder, Arthur S. Nusbaum presented "The Thomas Rain Crowe Collection: Beat Mentors & Their Progeny" at the sixth annual European Beat Studies Network Conference (http://ebsn.eu) in Paris, France. The presentation examines the life and work of Thomas Rain Crowe; a poet, publisher, and central organizing figure in "The Second San Francisco Renaissance." The legendary saga of Crowe and his contemporaries, often termed "Baby Beats," has hitherto remained largely unknown outside of a single anthology published in France in 2005. Arthur and I worked with Crowe and others integrally involved in the SF Scene over a multi-month period–conducting extended interviews, excavating data with Talmudic diligence–and arrived at a study that stands as the most comprehensive on its subject to date. Below is a link to the recently uploaded footage of the presentation, recorded live at the University of Chicago Center in Paris.

As for this month's special: "Off-Beat?" Aren't you "Beat-&-Beyond," now, Third Mind Books? Why the additional categorization? Good question. We're certainly Beat-&-Beyond, but there are items in our inventory that–to further encourage precision scholarship in the collecting community–are fit to be contextualized in a more exacting manner. This is better, we feel, than lumping an amorphous mass of semi-related items into bland and basic industry terms–and would, for us–run counter to our goal of being a respected bookselling source and a scholarly organization worthy of reference. We do, after all, regard ourselves as "curators,"–and a curator that isn't a learned historian is no curator at all. I've mused in previous newsletters on the worth of categorization, and also the damage it can do if too promiscuously handled. I'd say that, in relation to our present conversation on the topic, our demarcation of "Beat" and "Off-Beat" is less philosophical than it is practical.
There is a basic understanding that some items in our "Off-Beat" category just aren't "Beat" items. One of which is a First Hardcover Edition of the Journals of Jean Cocteau, the esteemed French poet & filmmaker. But immediately a historical/philosophical splinter emerges–didn't Cocteau influence the Beats? Didn't Allen Ginsberg recommend to all his students at Naropa that they see "Blood of the Poet" as part of his "Literary History of the Beat Generation" class? The other items we included as part of the "Off-Beat" section of this special pose similar questions: activists Huey Newton and Erika Higgins' Insights & Poems was published by City Lights Books. John Cage was a friend of many Beat authors & artists, yet is more famous for his time spent at Black Mountain during the closing years of that remarkable institution's existence. Ed Sanders has said that his reading of John Cage's Silence in 1961 changed his poetic life, and more specifically emboldened and encouraged his sense of poetic possibility. Then you have a figure like Clayton Eshleman, who stridently denies that he is or ever was a "Beat," despite his early association with Gary Snyder in Japan at the dawn of the 1960s, his continuous correspondence with Michael McClure, and his early meetings with Beat icons like Ginsberg and Hebert Huncke. I suppose one of the most interesting conclusions to be drawn is the mycelial influence of the Beat authors and artists–as the existence of d.a. levy's Cleveland Beat outpost, and furthermore the publication of Beat work in far countries early on, attest to (the Scottish literary magazine "Jabberwock," which published Burroughs' eponymous routine And Start West in 1959, comes to mind).
Another interesting change we decided to throw into the mix was to feature little-studied but equally-important LATE WORK from many of these seminal authors. For some reason, the early periods and their incredible mythology pose an inescapable pull on our scholarly energy. Oftentimes there are certain figures whose formative influence was exerted primarily in the early years–such as Brion Gysin's exploration with WSB–and on the surface seems more enticing then, say, the story of the assembly of a late-period classic like Tornado Alley. Certainly, when you are beginning the study of an individual or an affiliated group of individuals, you need to begin at the dawning. It is so common (and this notion has been exacerbated, this author would argue, more by the late releases of rock 'n' rollers from the 60s and 70s than by authors, historically) that the late work is panned, fizzles, and is either ignored or regarded to be of considerably less importance than the earlier work. Much of this is the result of scholars who have intense personal attachments or admiration for the early work, and are bitterly stung by disappointment when the artist who they held in such high estimation is purporting a new work to be an improvement in content or direction and the "fan," if you will, just doesn't get it or doesn't see it. For me, this is one of the most important reasons why I think reading a poet's prose, or a prose-worker's interviews or literary criticism, is important. Again, we're back to biography, autobiography, and its importance–as we discussed in a previous newsletter. The one commonality that "beginnings" have is a ferocity of spirit, a vocational intensity that imbues the work with an unconscious power and an allure that refuses to rot with the passing of time. "Success" has historically changed some artists, and many (usually for personal reasons involving the problems of their individual personalities) don't attain the grace or glory of these glowing, cardinal periods. Yet many (withstanding myriad changes of perspective and philosophy) still held on to a purity of vision that remained evident not only in their work, but in "accompanying" (for the scholar, that is) interviews, talks, performances, etc. from the period in question. Some things, like Jazz musician Wynton Marsalis said, "…don't come to you. You have to come to it; and if you come to it, you get to receive the benefits of it." If you don't–out of ignorance, fear, or merely because too few people ever shook you by the shoulders to tell you it was "good"–then you'll continually be in the dark about it.
Therefore, it behooves us as scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts to be open-minded about this work, even if it's seemingly of no relation to the work that got you into the writer in question. And, we'll always have our biases and preferences; and preferences, at least, are a good thing. I'm befuddled by Robert Creeley's late rhyming quatrains, and it's almost disturbing that the genius of For Love and the early prose/literary-critical writings could proffer them as the serious fruit of his labors. But maybe one day one of those quatrains will hit me (or anyone, for that matter) as potently as Blake's Songs. The key, without foregoing a sense of discernment, is attempting to remain open and welcoming as a scholar–reminding ourselves that the more we dig, the better–and to head to author commentary and biography wherever it can be found, especially if the work doesn't hit you like you think it should.
Such is the fruit of our inquiry as scholars in the Beat-&-Beyond literary community, and be sure to check our this month's OFF-BEAT & LATE BEAT SALE, featuring 25 items at 10% off for the month of October only!

Significant Things to know Relating to this Vein Cure
Best vein doctor Fayetteville Georgia
At an original session, the surgeon conducts an exam, will take a professional medical history, discusses plans, and decides if the affected person is often a great prospect for sclerotherapy. The College of Michigan Well being System implies that for your very best end result, it can be practical for patients to know these six things right before arriving on the vein centre for treatment method:
Some veins call for various remedies. The process is based to the theory of scarring vein partitions so that they seal shut and disappear. Particular veins may possibly demand many therapies in advance of elimination. Sclerotherapy classes are as shorter as ten minutes.
Significant veins may be tough and lumpy. That is a insignificant, temporary complication. When it does come about, the affliction dissolves more than a duration of numerous months.
Some patients acquire brown places. Pigmentation from time to time takes place any time a vein ruptures, causing the sclerosant to leak on to the pores and skin and depart a brown location. Some patients are more prone than average to this. Even though at times everlasting, these places normally disappear within 3 to 12 months.
Skin ulcers are a uncommon complication. Really rarely will an injection of a sclerosant cause enough discomfort to lead to an ulcer. This skin reduction sooner or later heals but might go away guiding a little scar.
Post-treatment care requires compression help. Patients go house with leg compression. This includes gauze pads plus a compression stocking to the leg addressed. Utilization of stockings continues for roughly two weeks.

Most normal day by day actions are authorized. However, clients need to have in order to avoid challenging exercising like tennis or high-impact aerobics until finally the medical professional permits them.

Project created with the participation of LETI beacame the best
Project "Digital Sphere —Finnish-Russian Ecosystem Broadcasting and Internet Television" created with active participation of LETI became the best among projects of St. Petersburg.
02.11.2015 486
Project "Digital Sphere —Finnish-Russian Ecosystem Broadcasting and Internet Television" created with active participation of LETI became the best among projects of St. Petersburg on the Priority No. 1 of the program "European Instrument of Neighbourhood and Partnership, Southeast Finland — Russia, Border Cooperation, 2007-2013" and was awarded by Administration of St. Petersburg, and also the Ministry of Economic Development of Russian Federation. LETI acted as a leading partner of consortium from six Russian and Finnish participating organizations.
The project "Digital Sphere — the Finnish-Russian Ecosystem of Broadcasting and Internet Television" was implemented within the Cross-Border Cooperation Programm within the European Instrument of Neighbourhood and Partnership "Southeast Finland – Russia" (2007 - 2013) on priority "Economic development". The essence consisted in creation of convenient menu of telecasting and information services for comfortable obtaining of information by Russian-speaking tourists and businessmen in Finland. The main goal was to promote economic development of Russian-Finnish relations.
Project coordinator, Dean of Faculty of Radio engineering of LETI professor Victor N.Malyshev said: "For us this cooperation had huge value. For the first time LETI became the leading partner of the project of such significance. We did a great job: created the Scientific and Educational Center "Digital Telecommunication Technologies", held a set of seminars with representatives of the industry and providers, participated in a number of exhibitions. Besides, as the leading partner, LETI prepared all financial statements. Creation of a platform for communication and receiving experience of joint activity became the main thing in this work. We held several dozens of meetings where working moments were discussed". Victor N. Malyshev noted a big contribution to the common cause of employees of LETI: associate professor of Radio Electronic Facilities Igor Y. Pivovarov, senior teacher of Department of Foreign languages Maria A. Kiselyova and Deputy of Chief accountant Natalya V. Suchkova.
Another partner from the Russian side was JSC Plant of Kozitsky that acted as a platform for communication of partners, and also the Committee on informatization and communication of the Government of St. Petersburg which played a contact role, carrying out information support of the project. Together with LETI Petersburg partners concentrated on researches in the sphere of digital technologies and opportunities of their application. They developed digital reception television equipment, conducted development in the field of subscriber and linear telecommunication equipment, including uninterruptible power supplies for telecommunication equipment for extensive market of the Northwest of Russia and other regions. The important place was taken by market researches on the basis of the scientific analysis and modern methodologists. Activity of the Finnish partners of Teknologian tutkimuskeskus VTT, Maxisat-yhtiöt Oy and Kouvola Innovation was directed on research of development of electronic media and multimedia equipment; studying of questions of providing of language services in a border zone.
Awards – diplomas and a memorable sign were handed at the XIV All-Russian forum "Strategic planning in regions and the cities of Russia: space of a choice and choice of space" on October 20, 2015. The forum has been held annually since 2002 and it is considered as the main platform for discussion of methods and mechanisms of strategic planning and constructive discussion on the most important and sensitive issues of implementation of strategic plans and complex projects of development of the cities and regions of Russian Federation.

Reproductive technology has made amazing strides in recent years. Infertility problems that once seemed insurmountable are now routinely overcome, producing healthy children for couples otherwise unable to conceive.
In vitro fertilization has become so efficient, in fact, that it is creating a problem of a different sort: What to do with all the "leftover" embryos that are created for the procedure, but are unneeded when there is quick success.
The question has profound ramifications, not just for the couples who must decide the fate of the embryos, which are often frozen and stored, but in the political and legal realms as well.
Kristen Gerencher, in her Vital Signs column, lays out the dilemma confronting many couples -- and society. Read it, plus learn what Robert Powell thinks about income-for-life products, and find out in Global Investor how our good neighbor to the north (Canada) can lend a friendly hand to your portfolio, on Thursday's Personal Finance pages.
In an election year that has already given us a hint that anything will go, the topic of frozen embryos could become a hot one indeed.

Infertile couples grapple with leftover frozen embryos
Joyce Reinecke is grateful that reproductive technology gave her a chance to preserve her fertility when a cancer diagnosis threatened it nearly six years ago. But the in vitro fertilization treatment she received in late 1998, which was successful in producing healthy twin daughters through a surrogate mother in early 2000, has presented her and her husband with a tough call: What to do with their 12 extra fertilized eggs that remain frozen at the clinic?

Health-insurance scams proliferate, GAO says
Fraudulent insurance companies increasingly are victimizing small employers and individual policyholders who search for affordable health-care rates. The General Accounting Office Wednesday identified 144 entities that preyed on unsuspecting insurance buyers even though they were not unauthorized by state insurance departments to sell health-benefits coverage from 2000 through 2002.

Single-country funds can boost portfolio returns
Investors in the best large-cap international mutual fund over the past five years didn't stray far from home.

Commentary: Protect investments from inflation's bite
Federal Reserve Governor Ben Bernanke says rising U.S. consumer prices can still be "consistent with continuing low inflation." The good governor obviously hasn't pumped gas in San Francisco, where regular unleaded averages $2.15 a gallon, up 31 cents in three weeks. Consistency indeed. See Life Savings

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Visiting the sick and the imprisoned are works of mercy that not only benefit the suffering and the abandoned, but benefit the visitors who are enriched by being with those who suffer like Christ, Pope Francis said.
While the works of mercy are ancient, they still are relevant today for those who are deprived of freedom and "suffer one of the greatest hardships of human beings," the pope said Nov. 9 at his weekly general audience.
When the living conditions "often devoid of humanity" in which many prisoners are housed are added to the equation, "then it is indeed the case that a Christian should feel the need to do everything to restore their dignity," he said.
Continuing his series of talks on the works of mercy, the pope began with visiting the sick and highlighted Jesus' ministry as an example of the Christian duty to be close to them, especially since "they often feel alone."
Simple gestures such as smiling, caressing or shaking their hand, he added, can go a long way for those who feel abandoned.
"Do not leave sick people alone!" he said. "Let us not prevent them from finding relief and for us to be enriched by the closeness to suffering. Hospitals are the true 'cathedrals of suffering,' where, nonetheless, the strength of charity that supports and proves compassion becomes evident."
Turning his focus to the imprisoned, the pope said that visiting those who are incarcerated is "above all, an invitation to not be anyone's judge" and a reminder that while prisoners are paying the price for their crimes, they "will always remain loved by God."
"I think often of the imprisoned, I think of them often, I carry them in my heart," he said. "I feel they are all in need of closeness and tenderness because the mercy of God works wonders. How many tears I have seen fall from the cheeks of prisoners who have never cried in their lives; and this is only because they feel welcomed and loved."
Departing from his prepared text, Pope Francis recalled a visit from a group of prisoners from Padua after the Holy Year celebration for prisoners Nov. 6.
The pope asked them where they were going before returning to Padua, and they said they wanted to visit the ancient Mamertine jail where Sts. Peter and Paul had been imprisoned.
"It's beautiful. Hearing this did me much good. These prisoners wanted to go in search of the imprisoned Paul," the pope said. "Even there, in prison, they prayed and evangelized."
Pope Francis called on Christians not to fall prey to "indifference" and instead follow Christ's footsteps and "become instruments of God's mercy."
"We all can be instruments of God's mercy and this would do us more good than to others because mercy passes through a gesture, a word, a visit. And this mercy, it is an act to restore joy and dignity," the pope said.

Lines Beyond The Script
Heeeeyyyooo(: It's Your's truely, bringing you yet another drama filled amazing tale. This time, about a few highschool students, who seem to be having completely fun filled lives until tragedy strikes....What's the tragedy? I don't know yet...but something tragical, that's for sure. Please comment for the new chapters, thanks people!(:
Chapter 1
Black, Purple, & Yellow
And then there are my favorite...guys like Jarrod Oberbreckling. The ones that laugh the most, and seem to have that never ending sparkle in their eyes. They don't act as if they don't care about everyone, because they can't. Those specific guys, care about every living, breathing thing. They would do anything for anyone to protect them or help them. There hearts are as big as there bodies, and they are magnificent. And this very specific one...Jarrod, he is the most real person and the biggest pretender I have ever met. No, I'm not insulting him...It's the truth. He's an actor; a highschool stage artist. The best Blackwood High has ever seen. And I am proud to call him my best friend.
"Hey, hand me that marker," Jarrod says, as the ink begins to come out faded from his own. I set the big tipped, black permanant sharpie next to him as he caps the other and tosses it in the trash. He swiftly picks mine up and begins outlining the letters of our new high school banner. He offered to make the new one, simply for a creative outlit. "So, are you making the interior of the words black or purple?" I question, watching him trace the last H, as I sit on the floor, eating a bag of buttery popcorn. He glances up at me, "Neither actually..." I can feel my face wrinkle in confusion, but before I can say anything, he continues. "I know those are our school colors, but, what most people at our school don't know is that in 2005, our school board discussed adding a third color." I smile as I listen to him, popping another piece of popcorn into my mouth, "And what color would that be?" I ask after chewing. "That color would be..." he trails off picking up another marker, "Here, catch..." he tosses it to me. I catch it, then set my bowl down on the floor. My lips curl up in a smile as I notice it's yellow. "Really? Black, purple, & yellow?" He nods, "Yep, it's true...Blackwood wanted to be remembered, and no one else in the entire state of Iowa has that color combination." I throw the marker back to him, "How come they decided against it?" I question, moving to lay on my stomach, and resting my cheeks in my hands. "It's funny actually...Blackwood wanted to be remembered...not made fun of...They thought they'd look like a bruised bumblebee." he chuckles, glancing up at me again. i shake my head, "Rememebered...but they decided against adding any color so...what good did that do?" He shrugs, "I'm not even sure how to answer your question, Rylee." He moves his body to where he's laying on his stomach, facing me from across the banner. "So...what do you say? Wanna help me add a little color to remember to our not so rememberable small town school?" His light brown eyes gleam with the thought. I nod, "Hand me a marker, boy." he does so, chuckling.

Can you imagine staying away from a person you love for more than 60 years? Well, this is what happened to a Russian couple! Anna Kozlov and Boris fell in love more than six decades ago but it was short-lived. Three days after their wedding, Boris disappeared without a trace and she was forced to relocate to the countryside to live with her family.
This particular day, Anna had gone back to the village where they lived with her husband, albeit for three days! Coincidence or luck? Well, it was on the same day that Boris came back to the village to visit his parents' graveyard. When Anna saw a man alighting from a car, she had no clue that it could be her long-lost husband. But she was shocked! Boris was right in front of her.
With teary eyes, they embraced each other and none was willing to let go of their partner. Nostalgia took control of their emotions and they could not help but stare at each other in awe.
The story of their marriage is riveting. Their first encounter was when Anna was making a speech as the secretary of the Young Communists in the village. Boris was amazed at her beauty and eloquence. Afterward, he proposed to her and they got married in 1946. Unfortunately, the honeymoon lasted for only three days since he had to report to his work station in the Red Army Unit.
Pressure piled on Anna until she went back to the village to live with her parents. Boris was frustrated as his efforts to trace Anne bore no fruits. After years of waiting, he gave in and re-married. Anna's parents wanted her to remarry too and forget about Boris. She resisted vehemently but her actions only fueled her mother's wrath. One day, she burnt all the photographs of Anna's wedding! Her love for Boris was still intact.
When Boris came back, his love for Anna had not withered. He felt the urge to rekindle their romance and marry her. As a result, they remarried! Anna described the special day as the happiest in her entire life. They lived happily thereafere.

I want to help those physicists remain up-to-date with developments in these sub-fields. The results of their research do form pillars of medical advances in disease diagnosis and treatment afterall," added Patrick Hermann Wagner, Professor at KU Leuven- Belgium, appointed Co-Editor-in-Chief of Physics in Medicine.
Antje Schuetz, Publisher, Physics in Medicine at Elsevier added, "The application of theoretical and practical physics to medicine, physiology and biology forms a new interdisciplinary community in science.

This is just mega, man
Mega Man Legacy Collection is a bundle that packages together the first six of Capcom's little Blue Bomber's NES titles - which were released between 1987-1993 - and faithfully recreated them in all of their rock hard glory.
Six classics…
You can enjoy each of the package's six games in their classic 8-bit style, all designed to look fresh and crisp on HD screens. This is all thanks to the work done porting them to the Eclipse Engine, removing any strange artifacts that may be experienced through simple up-resing.
The games in the bundle also faithfully reproduce the gameplay: in that it is punishingly hard. You can choose any of the six games to play, and keep throwing yourself against them in a desperate attempt to make it to the end – all the while knowing a single misstep could cost you one of your precious lives.
One major new addition to this collection is the new Challenge Mode. This mode takes all the levels, and remixes them in entirely new ways to test both novice and veteran players. It is an entirely new mode that brings with it surprising difficulties thanks to setting you different goals to achieve as you make your way through levels.
Put simply, challenge mode is crazy, and you'll have to really struggle to complete levels. If you think original titles were hard, wait till you give these a go.
This should be in a museum, and now it kind of is
Mega Man Legacy Collection is ideal for Mega Man fans - offering the perfect archive of the early games while still providing enough fresh options to keep them playing. It is also perfect for any newcomers who want to try out a piece of gaming history.

one of the factors influencing the development of hypertension. As people get older, their blood pressure increases due to the physiological changes in the arteries. Numerous research studies have shown that the prevalence of isolated systolic blood pressure rises in the population over 60 years. Hypertension is increasingly prevalent with patients who have diabetes (Mallion et al, 2001; Yi-Bing et al, 2013). A survey was conducted on hypertension management and awareness among 556 patients. They
This paper explores the chronic condition hypertension. Hypertension (HTN) is the medical word for high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the motion of blood pushing against the walls of arteries as it flows through them. The arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The greater the pressure the blood exerts on the artery walls, the greater the blood pressure is (Wright, Norris, & Newton, 2014). The size of small arties contribute to blood pressure
Hypertension, a complex multifactorial and polygenic disorder, is a major silent disease affecting young people because of their hereditary and modern lifestyles and it is a major modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. 1 A positive parental history represents a major risk factor for future hypertension in normotensive offspring.2 Several studies have been conducted in the offspring of hypertensive to find the role of genetic and environmental factors in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension
What is hypertension? Hypertension is a medical condition where the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated. (Nordqvist 2013) Hypertension is commonly known as high blood pressure. If hypertension is left untreated, it can cause severe health problems such as stroke and heart failure. In order to treat hypertension, the drug Losartan is used. Losartan is an angiotensin-II receptor antagonist (AIIRA). In other words, it can also be known as angiotensin receptor blocker. (Allen 2012) There are
Hypertension is considered to be a disease in which a constantly raised blood pressure, or higher than what is perceived "normal" blood pressure, causes a halt in organ function such as heart failure, a stroke etc (Opie, L. H.). Most people don't even know that they have hypertension as a condition because they haven't had their blood pressure measured at a health care facility. In South Africa Hypertension is usually considered to be a "silent killer" because most people do not even realise that
closely parallel the obesity and insulin resistance epidemic. Current U.S. estimates project 70 million obese adults and an additional 70 million with hypertension and/or type II diabetes (28, 42, 45). More so, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), suggest a graded and continuous relationship exists between prevalent hypertension and increasing body mass index (BMI); a metric that is closely associated with insulin resistance and self-identified type II diabetes (8, 34). Latent
Hypertension may not be common in children, but if present, may be a problem in children of any age. It is often missed due to medical professionals omitting to take the blood pressure in a child or the technique, used by the doctor to take the blood pressure, is incorrect.[7] In adults a high blood pressure is defined as a BP of 140/90 and higher but in children, to determine if the BP is high, one has to take into account the child's age, weight and height. A child is said to have hypertension
According to Statistics SA hypertension is one of the leading non communicable diseases in South Africa1. It is a major risk factor for the development of various cardiovascular diseases and thus has been shown to contribute to heart failure and stroke. There is a high prevalence of undiagnosed and untreated hypertension in South Africa1. In order to improve therapeutic interventions it is essential to understand all the mechanisms that are associated with this disorder. Therefore recent studies
Hypertension: silent killer, current treatments Introduction Hypertension is the medical term used to describe high blood pressure, referring to a state in which arteries consistently have raised blood pressure levels (Torpy, 2010). In the UK alone approximately 30% of the population suffer from hypertension, greatly increasing their risk of severe organ damage or failure, heart attack and stroke (NHS, 2012). Symptoms for hypertension often do not arise until damage to vital organs has already taken
Botswana, for instance hypertension, dental caries, osteoporosis, stroke, diabetes and others. Hypertension which is also known as high blood pressure is one of the leading lifestyle diseases, and it affects men more than women in many developing countries Botswana included. Furthermore hypertension is a challenge as it takes time to be diagnosed and can only be checked by health professionals. Hypertension is classified into primary and secondary, the primary hypertension is inherited or caused

A man stabbed to death in north London, on Tuesday, has been named as Nigerian father-of-two, David Bello-Monerville.
Six years ago, his brother, Joseph, was shot in the head in a car. In 1994, another of his siblings, Trevor, 26, died after being stabbed in Hackney.
David, 38, was stabbed to death when two groups attacked each other with blades, chains and broom handles during a street battle close to his family home in Barnet.
His mother, Linda, rushed to the scene sobbing and shouting: "Not another son!", according to neighbours.
Six years ago, David was in a car with his 19-year-old twin brothers, Joseph and Jonathan, when a gunman fired three times. None of the brothers' killers have so far been brought to justice.
The set of twins had returned to Britain just six months before the murder, to start a degree in forensic science at London Metropolitan University. .
They had gone to Nigeria to study because of their parents' fears over youth violence in north London.
Joseph and Jonathan were the youngest of seven children – Joseph was the last born. Superintendent Tim Alexander said: "Our thoughts are with the victim's family at this very difficult time. .
This is such a tragic loss of life and we urge anyone with information to come forward."

Following on from the successful cleaning and gauging of a newly laid line, the hydrotest takes place followed by the subsequent dewatering and, potentially, drying of the line. At this stage, it is vital operators can collate the necessary data to allow them to move efficiently between these stages and minimise costs.
Many pipeline systems consist of challenging internal geometry – the combination of tee pieces, wye pieces and complex subsea fittings found in manifolds & heavy wall pipe on FPSO topsides combined with the usual bends require careful pig design consideration.
