Exactly one month ago, I sat across from Dr. Curley as he delivered my death sentence: 6-12 months to live. What a mindfuck to think about that now, here, as I feel myself not weak, but stronger; not sickly, but energized; not hopeless, but motivated.
I had the magnetic vaccine today. Nurse Blanca first hooked me up to a drip bag that contained magnetic nanoparticles in it. Then, Drs. Rubio, Sr and Godinez taped magnetic strips to the outside of my body, where there are known tumors: my lungs, my liver, my bones around my hips and pelvis, and my lower back.
It was a little anticlimactic, honestly – I didn't experience any of those crazy hot flashes during the session, and I was able to last the whole hour without incident. Doctor Godinez came in every 20 minutes on the dot to check my vitals, which I found curious. I'm guessing some people have had serious reactions to this? Not me, though… 'cuz I'm a warrior. My body handled the session like a boss.
Side note: I discovered another way they use stem cells here. Last night, Dr. Smith came in my room and took a culture swab of my vagina. Today, Dr. Rubio, Sr. explained that he creates stem cells that come from those cultures in my cervix because that area has the same kind of hormones as my breasts. All of this just continues to boggle my mind.

At 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, like so many mornings before, Michael Schenkman, 78, was doing what he loved: riding his bike near his home in Queens.
Mr. Schenkman pedaled east on Northern Boulevard, maneuvering alongside traffic with the same care as he would drive a motor vehicle. An avid cyclist, he also taught driver's education for several years; he knew the rules of the road, his sons said.
When he was near 223rd Street, and one turn away from the Cross Island Parkway bike trail in Bayside, he began to merge from the center lane onto the left. Suddenly, a black Chevrolet Impala struck him, dragging him about 25 feet and leaving him fatally injured.
For cycling enthusiasts, Mr. Schenkman's death was particularly unsettling because it was the 15th cyclist fatality caused by a motor vehicle so far this year, exceeding the total number of bike deaths reported in New York City during all of 2015, according to data provided by the Transportation Department. Last year, the city reported 11 cycling fatalities by Aug. 24.
"There's been a creeping anger that the city isn't doing more to prevent these deaths," said Paul Steely White, executive director of Transportation Alternatives, an advocacy group for pedestrians and cyclists.
The increased number of cycling fatalities deals a blow to one of Mayor Bill de Blasio's signature efforts: Vision Zero, a plan to eliminate traffic deaths in the city by 2024. While the city has increased the number of protected bike lanes, further enforced traffic violations and lowered the default speed limit to 25 miles per hour, cycling activists say more needs to be done.
Mr. White said too many roads lacked safety improvements like protected bike lanes, pedestrian safety islands and greater visibility at crosswalks. Northern Boulevard, where Mr. Schenkman died, is "notoriously dangerous," Mr. White said. It has been designated as a priority corridor for Vision Zero improvements but has not seen any safety upgrades, he said.
"It's a lack of conviction to what on paper and in rhetoric is a top mayoral priority," Mr. White said.
Cycling fatality numbers have fluctuated over the course of the past several years; in 2014, the city reported a total of 20 cycling deaths, and in 2013 it recorded 12, according to Transportation Department data.
"We maintain that one fatality is one too many," Austin Finan, a City Hall spokesman, said in a statement. "And we'll continue to invest in lifesaving initiatives like these until we achieve Vision Zero's ultimate goal."
The city continues to expand the Citi Bike program as well. Officials met on Thursday to announce that stations would be available in several more neighborhoods in Brooklyn.
In an effort to call on the city to devote more resources to improving bike safety, Transportation Alternatives will be gathering with other cycling advocates on Sept. 15 to hold a Ride for Mayoral Action. The organization will also be dedicating its NYC Century Bike Tour on Sept. 10 to Mr. Schenkman.
Peter Schenkman, Mr. Schenkman's son and a former assistant commissioner for safety and emissions on the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission, said he hoped his father's death would shed light on the importance of creating protected bike lanes, especially on hectic roads like Northern Boulevard.
"We're not a bike-friendly city," Peter Schenkman said. "We're the greatest city in the world, but there are a lot of things we still don't understand."
Michael Schenkman spent a majority of his life around cars or bikes. For many years, he taught industrial arts and automotive technology to middle and high school students in Valley Stream, N.Y., Peter Schenkman said. He also worked as a driver's education teacher in Jamaica, Queens.
After retiring from teaching, he operated a Volvo specialty auto repair business in Flushing, Queens. Most recently, he spent seven years working as a driver for Betsy Gotbaum, a former public advocate for the city.
During the last years of his life, one of his biggest joys was to go for jogs and for long bike rides, often biking nearly 20 miles a day, every day, Peter Schenkman said.
"He decided he was going to become an Ironman, I guess," Peter Schenkman said. "He knew the ins and outs of every trail."
His brother, A. J. Schenkman, recalled their father as a kind and talented handyman who made sure his children understood the importance of driving defensively and responsibly. He said he was going to miss being able to talk to his father every night.
"I feel shattered," A.J. Schenkman said. "It's like being blown apart."

ANSWER:- Thank you very much Augustine Machibaya for your question. As far as i know Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa was literally pushed out of AFM by the new system or should i say new rules to run the church which had been passed by the leadership a few weeks before his exit.
This was not done by any individual specifically as some have said.In any organisation,the leaders always review the rules and laws that govern them in order to see a smoother running of its systems.
When that happens there are always victims of those changes,Just like in a cooporate organisation,the management or board can make a decision that will become uncomfortable for some and they will have to leave,they will have NO CHOICE but to leave.The company wont be a good place for them to go to greater heights in what they are meant to do in their lives,their dreams will be shattered by the new laws.You will find that when the individual joined the company on his first day,he was sure that this was to become his home forever and he had dreams meant to support the greater vision of that company,but its the systems that turn things around.
|Why prophet did Prophet E. Makandiwa leave AFM

Former Spur Thompson happy to be known as father of NBA star Klay
Long ago, Mychal Thompson predicted his son, Klay, now a sharpshooting guard with the Golden State Warriors, would one day become an NBA star.
Thompson didn't have a crystal ball, but he had eyes. And a feel for the game, having spent 14 seasons in the NBA, including about half of one with the Spurs.
"I remember telling his mother at a youth basketball game when he was about 10 or 11 that he's going to be in the league someday and make 100 million bucks with that jump shot of his," Thompson recalled. "She thought I was crazy. But he's always been able to shoot. Even then he could make 20-footers like they were free throws."
The former Lakers stalwart, who won two championships (1986-87, 1987-88) backing up Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and scored 12,810 points over his pro career, is now a broadcaster with the Lakers and morning radio show host on ESPN 710 in Los Angeles.
But these days he's mostly known as Klay's father. His son makes up one-half of the Warriors' dynamic sharpshooting backcourt duo along with Stephen Curry — aka the Splash Brothers.
"That's fine. I had my time," said Thompson, 63. "Now it's the new generation's turn. To have a son like Klay who's representing himself so well is a blessing. He has a chance to be a Hall of Famer if he keeps working hard and stays humble."
Klay Thompson and the Warriors are four wins away from their third NBA title in four years. They host the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday at 8 p.m.
Before his son's stardom and the success of Golden State, Thompson made a name for himself as the first foreign-born player to be selected first in the NBA draft.
Born in Nassau, Bahamas, Thompson was the top pick in the 1978 NBA draft out of the University of Minnesota by the Portland Trail Blazers.
A fixture in the Portland lineup for eight seasons (one season was missed due to injury), Thompson started at both the power forward and center positions. He was named to the 1979 All-Rookie team and enjoyed his best season in 1981-82 when he averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds a game.
In the 1986 offseason, the 6-foot-10 center-forward was traded to the Spurs along with Larry Krystkowiak for Steve Johnson.
"I think (the Spurs) wanted some front-line depth and liked my versatility," Thompson said. "I hated to be traded because I loved Portland. I was there eight years. It had become my home. I loved the Great Northwest. To me, that's the most beautiful part of America."
Thompson adjusted, but the Spurs struggled. Their roster included such players as Alvin Robertson, Mike Mitchell and Artis Gilmore. They finished the season 28-54.
Thompson was 32 and could no longer play long minutes. So the Spurs decided to get younger.
After just 4½ months in San Antonio, where he averaged 12 points and nearly six rebounds in 49 games with the Spurs, he was dealt to the Lakers in midseason for Frank Brickowski, Petur Gudmundsson and a No. 1 pick in the 1987 draft (Cadillac Anderson).
"He had an unorthodox shot but he could make it," said Johnny Moore, one of Thompson's teammates with the Spurs. "He was a high-energy player. He was a first or second option (offensively) in Portland but when he came here he had to assume more of a role. He was a pro."
At first, Thompson was shocked at the trade.
"I wasn't looking to leave San Antonio but if I was going to get traded I was happy it was to the team I idolized as a boy," Thompson said. "I was excited to have a chance to compete for rings.
"I enjoyed San Antonio. It was my kind of town, not too big and not too small. I loved the chicken fried steaks and the Mexican food. The fans, the Baseline Bums and everyone was so welcoming. I had a lot of fun there."
In five seasons with the Showtime Lakers, Thompson averaged 8.9 points a game in helping the team to back-to-back titles. Thompson's contributions during the Lakers' second title run included a monster 29-point, 16-rebound performance in a 130-112 first-round playoff victory over the Spurs.
Today, Thompson marvels at what his son has accomplished in seven seasons with the Warriors.
In addition to his two NBA titles, Klay Thompson, a 6-7 shooting guard, is a four-time all-star and Olympic gold medalist.
"He's already lapped my career 10 times over," Thompson said of Klay, 28. "He's only halfway through his career and he's already done twice as much as I did in half the time. I had a decent career, but Klay is light years ahead of me."
He said his son was always a good shooter with a near-perfect shooting form.
He said he is careful not to interfere too much in his son's career. He is no LaVar Ball, he said.
"You got to give the kids room," said Thompson, who has two other sons, Trayce, is an outfielder with the Chicago White Sox, and Mychel, a former pro player in the Warriors organization. "This is their careers. You have to support them but you can't be a stage father or mother. They want me to keep my distance and let other people coach them."
He said overall he's a fan of LaVar Ball, who sometimes has been criticized for his relationship with his basketball-playing sons, in particular Lonzo, a rookie guard with the Lakers.
"I love LaVar, how outspoken he is and how much he believes in his sons and how much he supports them," Thompson said. "The only time I disagree with him is when he publicly criticizes the (Lakers') coaching staff or Lonzo's teammates. But I like how he promotes his family and Lonzo."
Thompson said he is curious to see what happens in free agency this summer. The Lakers have a lot of cap space and are expected to be big spenders. One of the players the Lakers are rumored to be interested in is Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard.
Like Spurs fans, Thompson has been following the Leonard saga closely.
"I'm on the outside looking in like everybody else," he said. "And like everybody else, I'm intrigued and puzzled as to what's going on there. It's a big story, not just in San Antonio, but worldwide."
Thompson said he's always been a big admirer of the Spurs and what they've accomplished over the years under coach Gregg Popovich.
"They've been the class of the league," he said. "They're a great example of how an organization should be run."
As for the Warriors, he said it's still too early to compare them with the all-time great teams.'
"For this team to be mentioned along with (Michael) Jordan's Bulls, (Magic Johnson's) Lakers and Tim Duncan's Spurs, they have to win at least five titles," Thompson said. "But the way they shoot the ball, the way they defend at all five positions, they certainly could compete with anybody."

Charter Day
|A Note About The Contents Of This Wiki
|Unfortunately, many of the early original records of the College of William and Mary were destroyed by fire, military occupation, and the normal effects of time. The information available here is the best available from known documents and sources at the time it was written. Information in this wiki is not complete as new information continues to be uncovered in the SCRC's collections and elsewhere. Researchers are strongly encouraged to use the SCRC's access tools for their research as the information contained in this wiki is by no means comprehensive.
The annual celebration of Charter Day at the College of William and Mary was primarily a twentieth century development that was initiated by President John Stewart Bryan in 1937. President Bryan's love of pomp and pageantry also led to the annual Yule Log Ceremony.
During the eighteenth century Transfer Day, August 15th, was the usual time of celebrating the birth of William and Mary by observing the anniversary of the Transfer of the Charter from the founders of the College to the President and Masters of the College.
In 1859, the 166th anniversary of the College of William and Mary was celebrated on February 19 with an address by John Tyler, former president of the United States, and a reading of St. George Tucker's celebratory poem by the poet himself. St. George Tucker was the grandson of the man for whom Tucker Hall is named. The book is the published version of these presentations and also contains a brief history of the College and lists of its officers, faculty and alumni.
The tradition of having Charter Day Speakers of note to address the audience carried over from the nineteenth century to the present.
Awards bestowed on Charter Day include the James Monroe Prize in Civic Leadership, Thomas Jefferson Award, Thomas Jefferson Prize in Natural Philosophy, Thomas Jefferson Teaching Award, as well as honorary degrees.

Human trafficking of Indian guest workers alleged in Mississippi shipyard; Contractor defends 290-man camp
Paid $18.50 an hour, but living twenty to a trailer and fighting for spoons
A month ago Monday, a group of guest workers from India placed a frantic 3:00 am phone call to Saket Soni, lead organizer for the New Orleans Workers' Center for Racial Justice. The workers said that armed security guards were holding some workers prisoner in the TV room of the Signal International Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi, where the company's 290 welders and pipe fitters live.
The men told Soni that Signal International a sub-contractor for mammoth defense contractor Northrop Grumman had staged a pre-dawn raid and that six Indian workers had been detained in the TV room, flanked by security guards, one of whom carried a gun. About 200 other Indian employees at Signal were standing outside the room.
Signal says they detained the guest workers at the advice of US immigration officials, in an attempt to forcibly deport them following a labor dispute. Though the workers were later released into the custody of community groups, the incident has shed light on a longstanding immigration problem the vulnerability of guest workers who travel to the United States on H-2B visas, and their exploitation at the hands of so-called recruiters and the companies they work for.
Indian workers Joseph Jacob and Sabu Lal believe the Mar. 9 raid was initiated as Signals reaction to worker complaints, while the company says the workers were fired for performance-related issues.
But the bigger story is in the details: These 290 Indians paid upwards of $15,000 each to travel to America, lured by the promises of a Mississippi sheriffs deputy.
Deputy Michael Pol is also the president of Global Resources, Inc., a placement firm that recruits Indian workers to fill jobs in the US. Global Resources works with local recruiting firms in India to enlist talent and with U.S.-based immigration attorneys to secure visas for the workers.
The Indian workers recruited by Signal International paid on average between $15,000 and $20,000 to Pol. For some, the sum represented their life savings. The six workers who face deportation are terrified of returning to India, where they now face loan sharks and the disappointment of their families. After the raid, Sabu Lal attempted suicide.
Overseas recruiters lure guest workers to the U.S. with lavish promises of permanent residency, high-paying jobs and better living conditions, charging thousands of dollars in processing fees. Guest workers are usually deeply in debt by the time they arrive in the U.S., where the companies that hire them often charge additional fees for boarding, food and expenses.
Those companies have an incentive to charge by the day, because they save money on taxes when they deduct living expenses from an employees wages instead of paying an equivalent sum to the employees and letting them secure their own housing and food. Signal charges residents $35 a day for living expenses.
John Sanders, who manages Signal's workers camp, says his firm was also tricked by Pol, who promised to supply the company with badly-needed Indian welders and pipe-fitters and arrange their passage free of charge. The camp manager says he was shocked when workers told him that they had borrowed thousands of dollars at what he calls usurious interest rates from money lenders back in India.
Sanders says Pol lied to Signal about how much the workers were paying him because that enabled him to arrange their passage to the US for free. We thought, somebody's paying something, otherwise you wouldn't be in business, Sanders added
Signal management called Pol to their offices last November to ask why hed told the company workers were only paying $2,000 apiece. Signal demanded that Pol refund half the money that each worker had paid. When he refused, Signal terminated Pols contract. Reached by telephone, Pol declined to comment and referred RAW STORY calls to his attorney.
Joseph Jacob, a welder from Kerala who is now facing deportation and staying with community activists, says Pol also promised him permanent resident status. Under his visa, he was actually only entitled to stay in the US for one year.
A 3:00 am raid
Sabu Lal says Signal security guards burst into the trailers at 3:00 am and began calling the men by their company-issued ID numbers. Lal and Jacob believe they were targeted because they spoke better English than most of their peers and because they had spoken out at a church meeting.
Jacob says a Signal manager escorted him into the camps TV room and told him and other workers they werent allowed to leave, not even to use the bathroom.
Saket Soni, who received the workers call, was familiar with the conditions under which the Indian guest workers had been living. Some of the laborers had bemoaned their living conditions during a meeting at a nearby church a week before, a gathering which Soni had attended along with leaders from several other immigrant rights groups.
At the meeting, workers complained they had been tricked by American and Indian recruiters operating in India, who had lured them to the US with false promises of green cards, good wages and comfortable living conditions. Workers said Signal was unresponsive to complaints about wages, discipline and housing.
Lal, 39, describes the horror of realizing that he was about to be deported. Hed sold everything and couldnt bear the thought of returning empty-handed to his wife and two young children. He says he left a good job to come to America and felt hed rather die than be shipped back.
Lal attempted to kill himself by slitting one of his wrists with an industrial cutting tool. He was later taken to a nearby hospital and treated for his wound.
The workers were finally released into the care of community groups after pressure from Soni and other activists. Lal and Jacob remain in a tenuous legal status today. The two men are not allowed to work in the US on their current visas, and say they cant return home for fear of the loan sharks who financed their passage and the disappointment of their family.
Calling RAW STORY from an undisclosed location, in legal limbo, Lal deeply regrets the pain the news of his suicide attempt brought to his family.
My daughter told me, Daddy, just come home, we dont care, he said.
Signal camp manager John Sanders confirmed in a phone interview that the company raided the workers quarters and detained them in order to deport them. He asserts the six workers were fired for performance-related reasons and disruptive behavior, not for complaining to outsiders about conditions.
On paper, H-2B workers are supposed to have the same rights as Americans. In practice, however, companies can fire foreign workers without cause and deport them without any restitution of wages lost or fees paid to a recruiter.
Some workers told RAW STORY that they had spent their life savings to get to America and the threat of losing their ability to recoup what they have already invested is a very strong deterrent to speaking out.
Signals guest workers are paid $18.50 an hour, a comfortable wage in India. But the amount can pale in comparison to the sums they borrowed to get to America.
Signals Indian recruiters promised the workers $18.50/hr for first class welders, dispatching staff to test the applicants in India. All the workers who traveled to the US passed Signals tests. However, after their passage, Signal tried to cut the wages of some Indian laborers from $18.50 to $13.50/hr or in some cases less. Signal says that it cut wages because the workers didn't have first class welder skills.
Jacob says the company tried to make about 30 people sign papers to cut their salaries. If they didn't sign, the threat of deportation hung over their heads.
Sanders confirmed that Signal tried to cut a number of workers wages. He added that Signal wanted to cut some laborers pay to $9.50 but the firm's lawyer said it wasnt legal. The firm had certified to the Labor Department under penalty of perjury that workers would be paid at least $13.50, the prevailing Mississippi welding wage.
Forced to sleep in windowless trailers
Jacob, who was once employed as a foreign laborer in Saudi Arabia, said the conditions at the Pascagoula man-camp were the worst hed seen in his long career. Lal agreed.
24 people in a windowless bunker, he said.
Signal refers to its windowless trailers as bunkers. According to the Mississippi Press, the local daily, Signal has 13 such trailers. A reporter from the Press toured the facilities with Sanders after the incident, writing that it revealed cramped living conditions, but not the squalor described.
The beds are large enough for a man of average height to sit upright, the article said. The rooms have a total of two toilets and five showers.
Several days later, in an editorial, the Press likened the windowless trailers to a college dormitory, blaming workers for the mess.
The bunk houses, which sleep 20 to 24 men, are cramped and reminiscent of a college dormitory, the papers editors wrote. The only messes found inside them were those created by the workers mostly clothes, food containers and beverage containers.
The Press is published by Advance Publications Inc., which owns a slew of local newspapers and magazines across America among them, the New Yorker.
In charge of even the most intimate aspects of workers lives, Signal insists it did everything possible to make life more comfortable for workers while keeping costs in check.
But Jacob says Signal tried to take away the drinking water because they accused workers of stealing spoons from the mess hall.
Sanders disputes the charge. He says the company took the camps filtered water coolers away because workers were using the water to wash themselves after using the toilet instead of using toilet paper, a contention Jacob denies.
Sanders said the coolers were reinstated after workers agreed to police themselves. The company, however, has not reversed its decision not to replace metal spoons that disappeared from the mess hall.
When there was a spoon shortage, we said, We provided spoons once. It's up to you to get new spoons. Well give them sporks. We'll provide plastic.
Most eat with their fingers anyway, Sanders added.
Both workers say that they approached Sanders several times and asked to move offsite. They were willing to room together, so they calculated they could get by on $500 per month for housing, instead of the $35 a day they were paying Signal. According to the workers, Sanders refused to allow the men to move off-site.
Sanders confirmed that workers are required to live in the camp in order to cover the facilitys fixed operating costs of $2-3 million per year.
Signal manager says they followed US officials advice
Sanders said Signal was just following the advice of immigration authorities when it delivered the surprise dismissals and detention prior to deportation.
We were just trying to follow what [they] had told us, he said. They said don't tell them ahead of time because they will run away.
Only tell them the day of [the dismissal], he added. Sequester them.
RAW STORYs calls to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement were not returned.
Signals workers arent the only Indian employees caught up in the H-2B visa system. Patricia Ice, a staff attorney at the Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance, says her group is working with a separate group of approximately 200 Indian H-2B visa-holders in Mississippi. These workers, also pipe fitters and welders, are working on oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
These men tell very similar stories, explains Mark Massey, a Pentecostal lay preacher and workers rights advocate. Massey has spent nearly a decade helping Indian H-2B workers, first in his native Oklahoma and later in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida.
In emails and phone conversations with RAW STORY, Massey recounted stories of skilled workers who spent everything they had, only to find that the jobs they were promised didnt exist or had dried up, or that greedy recruiters had hired so many extra workers for the bounty fees that there wasnt enough work to go around.
Jacobs case is typical. He made contact with Dewan Consultants in India, then met Louisiana attorney Malvern C. Burnett and Mississippi sheriffs deputy Michael Pol. Jacob says his payment was divided between Dewan, Burnett, and Pols company Global Resources. At first, he was promised permanent residency through an American company called J&M Associates, but after waiting 2 years, he was told that his previous application had been canceled and that he would have to go through Signal and pay even more money.
Workers have little protection
Approximately 66,000 H-2B visas are issued every year. As far as the U.S. government is concerned, the H-2B process begins with the Department of Labor. The Labor Department is responsible for certifying that an employer needs temporary workers and that the employees wages will be at least as good as the prevailing wage in the area.
There are few, if any, regulations about what recruiters can promise workers before they arrive, and guest workers often find living conditions and wages are not as they had been promised. Under temporary one-year visas, they have little legal recourse.
Peggy Abrahamson, a spokeswoman for the Department of Labor, confirmed that the Department has little power to arbitrate in disputes involving H-2B employees who were brought to the US under false pretenses.
The Department only has so much power to adjudicate between workers and recruiters, she said. Beyond that, the worker has to sue for general breach of contract.
Mary Bauer, an attorney at the Southern Poverty Law Center and author of a report on foreign worker conditions in the US titled Close to Slavery, says workers have virtually no way to assert their legal rights.
When they get here, they are completely dependent upon their employers, Bauer said.
Bauer explained that while H-2B workers are technically covered by wage protections, its practically impossible for them to sue, because theyre poor, isolated and only in the US for a few months.
There arent a lot of lawyers willing to take these cases [pro bono], she said.

Come summer and you can expect to see ants inside your house. One or two here and there is no problem, but an ant invasion cannot be ignored. Types of ants which invade your home are the pavement ant, thief ant, argentine ant, pharaoh ant and the carpenter ant. Ants come inside your house for food and shelter.
The carpenter ant does more than get into your food – they can destroy your furniture. Many people resort to chemical pesticides which are harmful to the environment and humans. Instead of using these harsh chemicals, you can use some natural remedies to counter an ant invasion. Read on to find out what these are:
Ants communicate via pheromones apart from touch and sound signals. Once a forager ant smells food, it marks a trail which other ants follow and your house is invaded. The trick to stop an invasion is to disturb the trail. Vinegar disrupts the smell trail and the ants can no longer find their way to your house.
Mix 1 part water and 1 part white vinegar and with a cloth, rub down windowsills, countertops and floors. You could add some essential oil and put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray it on all entry points and baseboards.
Garlic, cloves, cinnamon
Garlic, cinnamon and cloves are other effective natural remedies.The strong smell of cinnamon and garlic keeps ants away. You can place cinnamon sticks in areas where you have seen ants enter your home such as doorways and windows. You can slice up garlic cloves and place them too strategically in corners around the house, though cinnamon has a much better aroma. A few cinnamon sticks or garlic cloves on the kitchen countertop will keep ants away as well. Cloves too have a strong smell and you can use cloves to chase away ants too.
Mint has a strong smell too and can be used to get rid of ants. You can plant mint around your house to discourage ants from entering your home. Or you can place mint leaves besides windows and doors to avoid an ant infestation. Mint leaves placed inside shelves and corners will keep ants away from your pantry. Anthills near your home are the source of the invasion, so placing mint leaves near anthills is a good plan to stop an infestation.
Coffee grounds
Used coffee grounds act as a deterrent to ants. Placing them near the foundations of your house and anthills makes the ants lose their scent trail. This means that they cannot find their way inside your house.
Sidewalk chalk
Ants and sidewalk chalk don't mix at all. Ants get covered in the chalk and die. Draw lines using sidewalk chalk on entry points to your home. Sidewalk chalk works well with other natural remedies to keep ants out.
Black pepper
Black pepper spells doom for ants. Sprinkling black pepper wherever you see them will make them run here and there. If you observe carefully where they're going, you may find the entry points. You can then take measures to block these entry points and prevent ants from entering the house. But if you have young children or pets, this remedy is not for you.
Plants with strong smells
Eucalyptus, rosemary, thyme, chili peppers, basil and peppermint have really strong smells and can help in keeping ants out. These plants too mess with the smell trail which makes it difficult for ants to enter your home. Many of these plants serve a dual purpose – they help to get rid of mosquitoes as well.
Honey / sugar and water mixture
Use a few tablespoons of honey or a 1 part sugar and 1 part water mixture in a paper tray as a diversion. Place it at a spot where the ants can find them, but away from the house. Once the ants find it, keep it further and further away from the house to lead them away from your home.
Natural remedies are an easy solution for ant invasions. These remedies are usually found in your pantry and all you have to do is place them wherever you see ants entering your home. Using natural remediesis much better than using pesticides which harm the environment.

My involvement motivated me to think about the questions being posed and the supplementary questions that always emerge. It also motivated me to engage in new inquiries which inevitably lead to new discoveries. And of course the range of perspectives and practical illustrations offered by participants encouraged me to see things in a different way to the way I normally think. Half way through the conversation we were challenged to take our imaginations for a walk (see my other blog post) and the result of this was I started a whole new blog on my garden
During the conversation I was paying more attention to my imagination and how it featured in my everyday thinking: I became conscious that it emerged into my consciousness much of the time I was not deliberately thinking about something or doing something that required my cognitive attention. I have been surprised by just how active my imagination is present, it seems to be firing away most of the time but particularly when I'm by myself – like when I was chopping brambles in the garden, a physical task that seemed to provide a good space for imagining. While I was chopping I mentally visited a number of past experiences and anticipated some of the things that were going to happen in the not too distant future – a sort of mental time travel that seemed to happen spontaneously without me making it happen. In this mode my imagination entertained me, engaged me emotionally, reminded me of who I am and who I was in my past life and helped me think about what I needed to do in the near future.
My own deliberate exploration of 'Using & Cultivating Imagination' was geared to my more general exploration of the idea of learning ecologies and ecologies of practice. Emerging from the conversation was a deeper appreciation of the way imagination relates to my evolving ideas on learning and practice ecologies we create to achieve something we value. In a learning or practice ecology, imagination is harnessed along with perception, reasoning and reflective processes for a purpose eg to learn or master something, to tackle a problem or deal with a situation, to exploit an opportunity etc.. In the March #creativeHE exploration we focused on 'creativity in the making', through several narratives I drew on the ideas of 'pragmatic', 'representational' and 'generative' imagination to try to understand how imagination was involved in particular examples of making.
During the course of the conversation I came across the writings of Stephen Fesmires and his ideas on 'ecological imagination'(1) made sense to me. This extract from Steven's 2011 article, 'Ecological Imagination in Moral Education East and West' opens up the idea that imagination is fundamentally ecological in nature. I add my own interpretive commentary (NJ italics) and illustrations to his conceptual elaboration – which is itself a product of a disciplinary pragmatic imagination.
Ecological Imagination Extract (pg 27-28) my responses in italics
Like the terms space, time, and mass to the modern physicist, the terms individual and system signify to the ecologist things and the relationships that synergistically constitute them rather than ultimate existences. Conditions demand that we extend perception deeper into the socio-cultural, natural, and interpersonal relationships in which we are embedded.
Ecological literacy has become essential to this. But even the most thorough knowledge about complex systems will overwhelm rather than enhance moral intelligence if that knowledge is not framed by imagination—here understood not as a faculty but as a function—in a way that relates one's individual biography to one's encompassing environment and history.
NJ: I think all imagination is ecological in the sense that it relates to, and is the product of interactions with our inner and outer world eg memories, perceptions, reasonings, emotions, experiences and 'things' in our real and imagined world.
It might be implicit but I would make more explicit the nature of encompassing environment and history (one's encompassing past and present environment, personal history and unfolding present). I believe the function of imagination is involved in creating ecologies for learning and practice and is stimulated and put to use in a pragmatic way through an ecology for learning and practice.
….…in order to build a working definition of ecological imagination, it is essential first to better understand (or at least to stipulate) what imagination is and does…. What is imagination from a cognitive standpoint? Cognitive scientists studying the
neural synaptic connections we call imagination define it helpfully as a form of ―mental simulation shaped by our embodied interactions with the social and physical world and structured by projective mental habits like metaphors, images, semantic frames, symbols, and narratives.(2)
What does imagination do? More than a capacity to reproduce mental images, Dewey highlights imagination's active and constitutive role in cognitive life. "Only imaginative vision, he urges in Art as Experience, ― elicits the possibilities that are interwoven within the texture of the actual.(3) Only through imagination do we see actual conditions in light of what is possible, so it is fundamental to all genuine thinking—scientific, aesthetic, or moral. It is also an ordinary and integral function of human interaction, not the special province of poets or daydreamers.
NJ While imagination emerges into our consciousness without any sort of attentive prompting in the everyday circumstances of our life, we can also engage our imagination consciously by creating an ecology of thinking and action that enables us to interact and deal with problem or situation. Imagination has always been an important part of my model or framework for an ecology of learning and practice(4 ) and Figure 1 but recently I have found the idea of pragmatic imagination (5) and more recently, (through Joy Whitton (6), Ricoeur's theory of imagination (7), useful in explaining how imagination works in an ecology of learning & practice. Through a process of ecological thinking and action, [what Jullian-Pendleton and Brown call 'pragmatic imagination' - 'productive [and purposeful] entanglement of imagination, reasoning [emotion] and action'(5) ] we interpret/assess the situations, decide a course of action and create (Imagine and implement an ecology of practice) the main components of which are illustrated in the model.
Figure 1 An ecology for learning and practice (adapted from Jackson4) The framework or model shows key relationships and interactions between the person and their environment. The ecological framework is a heuristic to help us imagine some of the complexity involved. The labels explain an aspect of the ecology but do not say how they interact. This is revealed in the narrative of the action. The components of the ecology do not stand in isolation. They can and do connect, interfere and be incorporated into each other. In this sense imagination interacts with and modifies each and all of the components in the model.
Or, as Mark Johnson recently put it, 'The meaning of something is its relations, actual or potential, to other qualities, things, events, and experiences.'(9) Meaning is amplified as new connections are identified and discriminated. Ideally, this amplification operates as a means to intelligent and relatively inclusive foresight of the consequences of alternative choices and policies.
NJ This ideas goes to the heart of ecological thinking which I believe is best explained in terms of the idea of pragmatic imagination (4) in which perception, reasoning, imagination, [emotion] and action are all entangled in a productive way to either make sense of a situation or phenomenon or to break existing senses and create entirely new meanings.
NJ The illustration shows this complex process of pragmatic imagination in sense making through human mind – human environment interactions. One can imagine this visualization being created in the mind of early mankind.
Michael Pollan observes that ―proper names have a way of making visible things we don't easily see or simply take for granted.(10) Ecological imagination names a cognitive capacity that tends to be taken for granted by environmental and social advocates. Environmental thinkers have long recognized that ecological thinking helps us to forecast and facilitate outcomes so we can better negotiate increasingly complex systems. Yet little direct attention has been given to theorizing about the imaginative dimension of such thinking. Ecological thinking is fundamentally imaginative, at least in the sense that it requires simulations and projections shaped by metaphors, images, etc. These metaphor-steeped simulations inform choices and policies by piggybacking on our more general deliberative capacity to perceive, in light of imaginatively rehearsed possibilities for thought and action, the relationships that constitute any object on which we are focusing. By means of this general deliberative capacity, relational perceptiveness can enter into practical, aesthetic, and scientific deliberations so that we understand focal objects through connections distant in space and time.
Ecological imagination is a concept too broad to encompass in an essay, but the foregoing suggests a working definition that will suffice to urge its import for moral education. Ecological imagination is here understood as relational imagination shaped by key metaphors used in (though not necessarily originating in) the ecologies. That is, imagination is specifically ―ecological when key metaphors and the like used in the ecologies organize mental simulations and projections. Our deliberations enlist ecological imagination when these imaginative structures (some of recent origin and some millennia old) shape what Dewey calls our dramatic rehearsals.
A culture's understanding of ecosystems is an in-road for revealing how they conceive their place in a matrix of relations.Indeed, the sort of imaginative simulation used to understand an ecosystem is often relevant to our dealings with other complex systems. The horizon of ecological imagination is to a considerable degree structured by metaphors.(11)
There are many conventional metaphors by which English-speakers make sense of ecosystemic relationships (e.g., web, network, community, organism, economic system, field pattern, whole, home, fabric) and trophic relations (e.g., cycles or loops, energy flows, (food) chains/links, pyramids, musical performances). Image-schematic structures such as containment, up-down, balance, and the like also play a vital role.
NJ These metaphors and image schemas can be and are being used to structure the logic about learning and practice in the contemporary world. Unfortunately, higher education generally thinks in terms of linear structures and processes.. courses, with pre-deterimed and predictable outcomes.
My own model of a learning ecology or ecology of practice is an example of how we might encourage the metaphorical language of ecology in learning and teaching. So my own take on using and cultivating imagination in the higher education context is, not surprisingly, connected to the affordances provided for enabling learners to understand learning as an ecological phenomenon and the pedagogical thinking and actions that empower and enable learners to create (imagine and implement) their own ecologies for learning and practice. The first step is for higher education teachers and educational developers to understand the significance in the ideas and conceptual vocabulary, the second is approach teaching and learning in with an ecological mindset.

We had tentative plans over the weekend to go on an overnight hiking adventure on the coast, but as the weekend approached, my adventurous side began warring with my practical side--the one that kept reminding me of all the things that needed to get done at home, and the fact that I would be away again the following weekend, and that E and Z had big school projects due this week, and who would take care of those ever-lovin' ducks?
So, of course we stayed home, because if I'm not 100% committed to an adventure, it doesn't happen, since I need enough energy and enthusiasm to drag my reluctant family members along with me.
Instead, we had ourselves a few smaller adventures close to home, beginning with a hike around the China School Forest after E had a soccer game there Saturday (Z's shins are still healing and we've ix-nayed the rest of the soccer season for him).
This is a place I've been meaning to explore for years and years, but had just never gotten around to it. It turned out to be very cool, with a boardwalk across a pond, a big tree house, and a lot of other neat things to explore.
On Sunday, we all went hiking on a new-to-us trail in a nearby town (Clarry Hill in Union, if you're local). It's a place known to be great for viewing migrating hawks in the spring and fall--we were a bit late for the migration, but did see a northern harrier and a bald eagle.
Being a Western gal, I'm always starving for a view of the horizon in this treed state, so I was thrilled to climb up over this blueberry barren, with views all around.
When we dropped into the woods for a brief while, we were treated to a few enormous white ash trees and this fantastic sugar maple that was half hollowed out by fire.
We had some discussion about whether this is what moors would look like--moorland features prominently in the books E and Z are now reading (Warriors, not Wuthering Heights).
They visualize more grass, but this is just how I picture the moors, only with heather instead of blueberries and more fog and and quicksand and howling spirits.
Finally, on Monday, E and Z and I went on the biggest adventure of all--setting off into uncharted territory.
We've been talking for about a year about biking to their best friend's house, but instead of going the long way around, by road, we (meaning I) wanted to try to connect two partials roads that used to be one but are now grown over in the middle--partly for the adventure of it and partly to spend as little time as possible on busy roads with narrow shoulders.
We made it a short way on an old dirt road, and then it turned into a howling swamp. We had to push and carry our bikes over roots and around trees and through ankle-deep water. The boys complained a lot, and we all got good and scratched up, but we made it through to the other side, coming out on a grassy lane. Horse droppings at both ends led me to believe there was another way through.
So after our friends fed us lunch and the boys played for a while, we ventured out again, despite pleas for a ride from Papa or our friends, or, barring that, to take the main road around.
We found that if only we had taken a left turn where the off-road road began, we could have climbed over a grassy trail, skirting the howling swamp altogether.
When we got home, E and Z rushed to tell C and M about our adventure, how hard it was on the way there, and how we found an easier route. I wonder sometimes, as a parent, if anything I do has an effect on my kids, and then we have an experience like this, where they confront adversity and (with a little nudge from me) overcome it, and their excitement and confidence soars. Who knows if this one experience will help them face challenges later in life, or if spending time outside on adventures with their family (even when they're being their little recalcitrant selves) will inspire them to be adventurous in life as they get older. But I like to think it will.

When you're making your holiday gift list during this holiday season, be sure not to forget the countless animals that rely on the support of local animal shelters throughout the region. Perhaps you can adopt a homeless cat or kitten, a playful puppy or older dog or another pet that needs to find a home and have a second chance to enjoy a better life.
Consider making a financial donation to a local shelter to honor or remember a beloved family pet or donate a bag of pet supplies and some premium cat and dog food. These hardworking employees and dedicated volunteers struggle to meet their budgets and keep the lights on as they provide quality care for animals in our communities.
For people of all ages who have an hour or two to spare, why not donate your time to a local animal shelter? Volunteers are need to perform a variety of tasks ranging from kitty cleanup to dog walking to fundraising and bookkeeping. The work is rewarding and you'll leave at the end of the day knowing that you've helped to make the world a better place for a less fortunate animal.
At CARE Southcoast (Center for Animal Rescue & Education), it's all about giving deserving animals a second chance.
Ruth Marshman, president of the Acushnet-based nonprofit organization, reveals "she's been an animal person since day one," and as a child, she always enjoyed a menagerie of lovable animals.
"I saved my money to buy a horse," Marshman recalls. "His name was Pooh Bear. I took care of him every morning before school."
She also recalls bringing countless strays home for a good meal and later engaging in diligent searches to find the animals' owners or a suitable new family companion.
"It all stems from my childhood," she says. "I like animals better than people, and I have no problem telling people that."
Several years ago, when Marshman began working for a local seafood broker, she noted an abundance of abandoned cats and kittens searching for food around the fish plant.
"My friend and I would catch them and take them to the veterinarian," she says. "We'd pool our money, pay the vet bills and try to find good homes."
Marshman says those early days of catching errant felines eventually grew into CARE SouthCoast. The organization has a vast network of volunteers, some of whom serve as foster parents while others work in the shelter or provide transportation. "All of our dogs and a few of the cats are in foster homes," Marshman says. She adds that the CARE SouthCoast shelter, 111 Main St., Acushnet, has growing pains and needs new quarters.
"We are looking for a permanent and bigger facility," Marshman says.
The shelter president shares that the organization cares for 300 or more homeless or surrendered animals every year.
"We often put their medical care on our own charge cards," Marshman says. "Honestly, there's never enough." She adds that while many veterinarians substantially reduce the fees for veterinary care, costs remain high.
Some veterinary bills exceed more than $10,000, depending on the procedure. Many animals have limbs that have been amputated or severely injured, and require extensive and compassionate care. A few of the pets and their foster caregivers have bonded so well that the animals have been permanently adopted.
Marshman adds that in addition to escalating veterinary costs, other shelter expenses include property insurance, food and litter, cleaning products and building maintenance.
According to Marshman, the organization is always in need more foster homes, additional benefactors and a grant writer.
For canines that need assistance settling into their new environment, the shelter can provide a trainer to work with the dog and its owner to assist in the transition to the animal's new home.
"The animals we take wouldn't do well or be accepted in a traditional shelter," Marshman says. "A lot of them would be dead. They are imperfectly perfect."
Fairhaven Animal Shelter Director Terry Cripps is a man who wears many hats. And loves all of his jobs. Cripps serves as the town's animal control officer and animal inspector, and operates its busy animal shelter.
Cripps recently hired a paid assistant and oversees a corps of 25 volunteers.
The shelter is partially funded by the Town of Fairhaven with donations from a gift account that helps fund veterinary expenses, building maintenance and pet supplies, Cripps said.
"If I ask for kitty litter on social media, I'll get enough to last a month in two hours," he said.
According to the shelter director, the Fairhaven facility is capable of holding 25 cats and 13 dogs.
"It's not a big shelter," Cripps continues. At the present time, the shelter only serves Fairhaven.
Cripps notes there is a $25 surrender fee for any cat or dog that is relinquished to the town. The animal must be evaluated to ensure that it is healthy, then spayed or neutered and then placed up for adoption. Applications are accepted, and Cripps asks questions and discusses the animal with the potential owner.
"I'll choose the best fit for the animal and its owner," he said.
Cripsp acknowledges the Fairhaven Animal Shelter could not operate without its volunteer support.
"They are the backbone of this shelter," he says. Potential volunteers must complete an application, undergo a background check and meet with Cripps. Volunteers must be age 16 and older, and serve an hour to 12 hours per week.
"Our volunteers work tirelessly," Cripps said, adding that the dedicated individuals reside in Fairhaven and several other local communities along the SouthCoast.
According to Cripps, the shelter needs cat and food, rat and mice food, and kitty litter.
"Kitty litter will last forever," he says, adding that local animal shelter directors help other shelters with food and supplies when shortages occur.
Since 2009, Pamela and Oren Robinson, founders of "It's All About the Animals" in Rochester, have focused on improving the lives of felines, most of which have been abandoned or abused.
"Most of the dogs are coming from the South," says Pamela Robinson. "To work with dogs, you have to do it properly. There is a tremendous need for cats and kittens that need to be rescued."
Robinson says, for example, that during a recent two-and-a-half week period, the feline shelter took in 64 cats and kittens. The animals were brought from several SouthCoast communities ranging from Fall River to Bourne.
"We've invested $115,000 of our own money in the shelter," says Robinson, adding that her husband maintains the property and facilities.
"One hundred percent of every dollar goes directly to the care of the animals," she says, adding that a small $2,500 grant from the Massachusetts Animal Coalition can only be used for feral cats and low-income families for spaying and neutering.
Robinson says it costs about $75,000 annually to operate the shelter, some of which is recouped from adoption fees.
She adds that after five years of fundraising and struggling, a new building was recently constructed that provides laundry and bathroom facilities and offers more free roaming space for the shelter's cats.
"At least 400 cats and kittens come through the shelter every year,' Robinson says, adding that pet owners must be diligent to get their animals spayed or neutered.
"Last year we lost 56 kittens alone that could not be saved because of the condition that these animals were in."
According to Gail Furtado, president of Forever Paws in Fall River, "There is always a need for funding and corporate sponsors." She emphasizes that a thin line keeps the nonprofit financially stable.
Beverly Andrade, treasurer of the organization, says it takes about $300,000 to operate the facility. Four full-time employees, including a full-time administrator, and five part-time shelter workers serve on the staff, along with 20 volunteers.
A 12-member board of directors governs the organization.
"We have an extensive program for volunteers," Furtado adds.
Forever Paws currently holds contracts with the City of Bedford, City of Fall River and Town of Westport to house animals at the shelter.
Adult dogs, for example, are charged $260. All dogs are spayed or neutered, receive a 1-year rabies vaccination, heartworm testing, kennel cough vaccination, canine distemper combo vaccination, preventive heartworm medication, worming and flea control prior to adoption. Microchip with registration is included.
Furtado adds that the shelter facility is a constant hub of activity.
"In September, we adopted 61 animals out," she notes, adding that in addition to cats and dogs, the shelter also works with mice, guinea pigs, rabbits and has also cared for a pot-bellied pig.
According to Furtado, the shelter's growing "wish list" includes paper towels, office supplies, bleach, laundry soap, clumping and clay litter, pet food and toys.
"I am very proud of our staff and all the work that they do," she said.

Sample size is a fixation in research. We fret about it, argue over it, and generally have very little to back up the relevance we ascribe to it. Rather than thinking about the outcomes and goals, we get hung up on the n, sometimesusing it as a weapon to bolster a preconceived belief rather than identifying points of interest. And when thinking about online communities and panels, even when the focus is qualitative research, this fixation becomes almost manic. So does size really matter?
The anthropologist and evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar focuses on the number 150. Dunber had the idea that as humans we can only comfortably maintain about 150 stable relationships before intimacy and connection is lost. Whether online or off, 150 is about all we can really handle and still have meaningful exchanges.
Over the years I have managed communities as small as a dozen to as large as several thousand. Each has been successful in its own way, because at the center of these samples is what we really want and are striving for – a community, meaning the people involved all have a shared interest or experience. That said, the ranges produce very different results. That isn't bad, but it does mean you have to think very carefully about what you want from your community.
The primary thing to consider is quality first over quantity. After all, you only get out as much as you put into it, so we should strive to make our communities more dynamic, interactive, stimulating, and engaging. That simple truth is what leads to the best insights – the kinds of insights that drive change. There are exceptions to the quality over quantity argument – it's called doing a quantitative study. If you need to conduct quantitative research with your community then of course you are going to need to have a larger sample. Additionally, you may also need to ensure that you have sufficient numbers of sub-groups or segments accounted for too. But on the whole, the strength of an online community lies in the qualitative richness that emerges as members become closer, share more, and engage regularly.
Having a larger community this doesn't mean that you have to lose the human touch / connection with your members and it has become the norm for us to invite sub-groups or segments to take part in communities of smaller size. The intention is to foster discussion, debate, and innovation. It is about looking at the edges of the bell curve rather than at its center.
Whether as a sub-group or as part of the general population, focusing on a smaller sample ensures that we don't lose sight of those things that drive strong community connections purely for the sake of hitting a number. Regardless of the size it is a best practice to be appreciative of your members by showing them you are listening, to encourage and facilitate discussion, and most importantly to show them that we value them. That's exceedingly difficult to do with hundreds or thousands of people.

A 10-YEAR campaign to ban traffic from Nantwich's most polluted street is being stepped up by town councillors.
Hospital Street, the town's busiest residential road, was declared an Air Quality Management Zone in 2006 by Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council after research revealed levels of nitrogen dioxide exceeded Government standards.
It is used by more than 20,000 vehicles a day. Residents have been trying to get measures in place ever since the tragic deaths of two pensioners, Derrick and Evelyn Jones, who were crushed by a lorry in the street.
Now, environment bosses have tabled an action plan which contains various methods of cutting traffic, including traffic lights, a 20mph speed limit, making the street one-way, re-routing school buses and telling satellite navigation companies to avoid it.
But councillors and campaign group, the Hospital Street Association, say the suggested measures are not satisfactory.
Cllr Bill McGinnis said: "I first raised this issue in 1998 after working along the street. I was almost choking on the fumes.
"But it seems to me these suggestions will do nothing to alleviate the problem. A 20mph speed limit or traffic lights will only keep cars on the road for longer, puffing out toxic fumes."
Cllr Arthur Moran said: "This is the most used street in the borough, even more so than Nantwich Road in Crewe. Anything that can be done to cut traffic has got to be supported by this council."
The town council has suggested putting up signs saying 'No through traffic' and 'Congestion in Nantwich town centre' to put drivers off coming into town.
Anthony Blacklay, chairman of the Hospital Street Association, said: "We consider that the AQMA draft action plan is very weak and fails to come up with an adequate package of firm proposals to deal with the problem. We welcome the town council resolution."
Annette Potts, head of environmental health at the borough council, said comments on the action plan should be received by January 1.

China has created three of its own top-level domains that will use the domain names .cn, .com and .net, in Chinese. The domain names were launched Wednesday by the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry.
The creation of Chinese character domain names has led to speculation that China could break away from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) completely, and undermine the global unity of the Domain Name System (DNS), the network of servers that resolves domain name requests.
"It means Internet users don't have to surf the Web via the servers under the management of ICANN of the U.S.," reported the People's Daily Online, a Chinese government-approved publication.

Fromm A452 Pneumatic Tensioner
The A452 pneumatic tensioner is a popular tool used widely in the packaging and strapping industry. As with all Fromm tools, this is a rugged, lightweight tool that has a high-tension force of 1,910 pounds! The tool has a freewheeling system and due to this feature, there is no tension lost when the tensioning cycle is completed.
The A452 is a standalone tensioner and therefore a separate sealer and cutter have to be used along with it. The A461 Fromm sealer can be used with the A452 and can be used with strapping applications for.75"-1.25" wide by .025" to .044" thick strapping. The A412 manual sealer can also be used instead of a pneumatic sealer for lighter duty applications.
The A452 has a unique duckbill nose that requires push or closed seals. These seals are threaded on to the strap and then the tensioning physically pushes the seal. The A452 is a pneumatic tensioner is a fast tool due to the pneumatic component, but since it has to push seals to strap, the preparation time required is longer than using a combination tool. Also with pneumatic tools comes air lines all over the workroom floor which can raise safety concerns.
In order to eliminate the presence of airlines, many industries have begun to rely on battery-operated tools wherein there are no airlines and the work gets done faster at the touch of a button. The Grip Pack Tensioner and Sealer are popular battery operated tools. Meanwhile many industries are also discovering that combination battery operated tools save a lot of time and are economical. These tools like Signode's PRHR-114 that uses the 1 ¼" banding is the most popular combination tool in the market. As one tool does the tensioning, sealing and cutting there is no need for separate tools and this proves to be economical in the long run and very productive.

Today, I read Marilyn Nelson's "how i discovered poetry" a "sequence of fifty unrhymed sonnets" that use personal and political events from the time she was four in 1950 to the time she was fourteen in 1960 to build a picture of the life for a girl in a military family. The author never denies or hides the racism experienced by the Speaker (the author's term), but those experiences are threaded deftly through stories about and images of families and dogs left behind and Red Scares and bomb shelters and Civil Rights struggles and playgrounds and friends and mothers who work versus mothers who stay at home and moving over and over again.
My face, as foreign to me as a mask,
allows people to believe they know me.
Thirteen-Year-Old American Negro Girl,
headlines would read if I was newsworthy.
But that's just the top-of-the-iceberg me.
At my library, this book is cataloged as a Juvenile Biography. But the beauty of Ms. Nelson's work is that poems reward younger and older readers. There is quite a bit of humor, some of it punning, which will entertain middle grade readers. "Why did Lot have to take his wife and flea" from Church. And there are complicated bits. In Safe Path Through Quicksand "Do I believe? Well, let's just say I hope./I think Jesus is an elder brother/whose footsteps mark a safe path through quicksand" is juxtaposed with "I do hope to God there is a hell/waiting for some people. For racist cops." Adult readers can make comparisons and connections between the Speaker's observations/opinions of her time and the events of our time.
I won't quote anymore because I want you to find Ms. Nelson's book and read it. Read it all the way through in one sitting and then wait a day or two and read it again. That's my plan.

A simplified tool for predicting mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) performed as well as the updated version of an existing risk index, an analysis of two cohorts showed.
Consisting of age, dyspnea, and airway obstruction (ADO), the simplified index predicted a three-year mortality of 11.8% in a group of patients with moderate-to-severe COPD.
The cohort had an actual three-year mortality of 12%. An update of the BODE (body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity) index predicted a three-year mortality of 10.7%.
By way of contrast, the current version of the BODE index underestimated or overestimated mortality risk by 35% to 40% in two different COPD cohorts, according to an article in the Aug. 29 issue of The Lancet.
Action Points
- Explain to patients that a simplified index for assessing mortallity risk in COPD may have greater applicability to clinical practice than do currently available indexes.
"Both the updated BODE and ADO indices could lend support to the prognostic assessment of patients with COPD in specialized and primary-care settings," Milo A. Puhan, PhD, of Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in Baltimore, and colleagues concluded. "Such assessment enhances the targeting of treatments to individual patients."
The BODE index has made substantial contributions to COPD research. Several studies have shown that the index is more discriminating for for prognosis than lung function. However, the index has limited applicability in clinical practice because it requires a method to assess exercise capacity, the authors noted.
In an effort to develop an index that works in in research and clinical settings, the authors examined the BODE index calibration: the ability to track outcomes across a range of possibilities. They applied the index to a cohort of 232 Swiss patients with longstanding, severe COPD and to a Spanish cohort of 342 patients with moderate or severe COPD.
The Swiss cohort had a three-year mortality of 34.1%, which compared with a 21.7% mortality predicted by the BODE index (P=0.013). The Spanish patients had a three-year mortality of 12%, compared with a 16.7% predicted mortality by BODE assessment (P=0.035).
The authors recalibrated the BODE index by including recently published methods and new data. They also developed the ADO index, which would have greater applicability outside research settings compared with the BODE.
The updated BODE and the ADO indexes were validated in the Spanish cohort, whose patients more closely reflected those seen in clinical practice settings. Both indexes predicted a three-year mortality that differed little from the actual mortality of 12% (P=0.98-0.99).
The study has potentially important implications for predicting risk in COPD, Holger Schunemann, MD, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., wrote in an accompanying commentary.
"Identification of baseline risks through prognostic studies might help target therapy and can make important and long-needed contributions to, for instance, guideline development," he concluded.
Neither the authors nor Schunemann reported any conflicts of interest relevant to the article or editorial.
