Frontotemporal dementia
Frontotemporal dementia tends to occur at a younger age than Alzheimer's disease and can affect both men and women. The average length of the disease can vary. This type of dementia resembles Alzheimer's disease in that it also involves a progressive degeneration of brain cells that is irreversible.
With this form of dementia, a person may have symptoms such as sudden onset of memory loss, behaviour changes, or difficulties with speech and movement.
Unlike Alzheimer's disease, which generally affects most areas of the brain, frontotemporal dementia is an umbrella term for a group of rare disorders that primarily affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain – the areas generally associated with personality and behaviour. In some cases, brain cells in these areas shrink or die. In other cases, the brain cells in these areas get larger, containing round, silver "Pick's bodies". Pick's disease refers to a subtype of frontotemporal dementia that has these specific abnormalities. In frontotemporal dementia, the changes in the brain affect the person's ability to function. Researchers estimate that approximately two to five per cent of all dementia cases are frontotemporal dementia.
Other names often used for frontotemporal dementia, in addition to Pick's disease, include:
- Semantic dementia
- Frontal lobe dementia
- Primary progressive aphasia
- Corticobasal degeneration
- Pick's complex
Symptoms of frontotemporal dementia
Since the frontal and temporal areas of the brain can be affected, early symptoms often affect either behaviour and/or speech (language).
- Changes in behaviour may include becoming either withdrawn or disinhibited (e.g., losing the ability to restrain one's behaviour and actions). The person may lose interest in personal hygiene, become easily distracted or repeat the same action over and over again. Overeating or compulsively putting objects in the mouth may occur. Sometimes incontinence is an early symptom of the disease.
Other possible changes in behaviour include
- Inappropriate social behaviour, e.g. they may say inappropriate things or come across as rude or tactless
- Distractability
- Loss of insight into the behaviours of oneself and others (making it seem as if they don't care)
- Changes in food preferences
- Blunted emotions
- Decreased energy and motivation
- Changes in personality, e.g. more outgoing people may become quieter and quiet people may become more extroverted
- Problems with speech (language) can range from speaking less to total loss of speech, i.e. becoming mute. They may have difficulty finding the right words and may use circumlocution, i.e., talking around the words or describing what they mean. Echoing what has been said by others and stuttering are common symptoms. The person may have difficulty sustaining a train of thought or maintaining a conversation for any length of time. Writing and reading are also affected.
In the early stage of frontotemporal dementia, behaviour changes or problems with speech (language) can appear separately. As the disease progresses, these two areas will overlap. Unlike Alzheimer's disease, a person with frontotemporal dementia often remains oriented to time and memory is not a problem in the early stages. In the later stages of the disease, general symptoms of dementia arise, i.e. confusion and forgetfulness. Motor skills are lost and swallowing difficulties occur.
Diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia
Assessment is important to rule out other problems, for example, primary psychiatric disorder, for which it may be mistaken. No single test can diagnose frontotemporal dementia. Doctors diagnose the disease through a process of identifying characteristic features of the disease and ruling out other possible causes. Cognitive (thinking) tests may be done to assess which brain functions are affected. A history will be taken from the person, family and caregivers, to get a detailed picture of what has been happening. Brain imaging (such as with an MRI) can also be helpful in making a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.
Risk factors for frontotemporal dementia
Little is known about the cause of frontotemporal dementia and risk factors have yet to be identified. While most cases are not inherited, there is one extremely rare type of frontotemporal dementia which can be passed from generation to generation.
Treatment for frontotemporal dementia
At present, there is no known cure and no effective way to slow its progression. Cholinesterase inhibitors, used as treatment for Alzheimer's disease, usually do not work for the treatment of frontotemporal dementia, as different areas of the brain are affected.
Much can be done, however, to help manage the symptoms. It is important to learn as much as possible about the disease, to help understand and respond to the person's new behaviours. People around the individual will need to seek support to learn coping strategies to work around the individual's behaviour, rather than trying to get the person to change. Speech pathologists may be helpful in teaching strategies to work around the communication problems.

on the 3A bus to town
on the 3A bus in the rain,
windows running with steam,
seems like the end of the universe,
in this grotty wet dream.
moan hot on us
this growling in sway,
three witch way women
on their vicissitudes inveigh.
white strip lights
pink bell poles
man in yellow plastic coat,
the driver wipes holes
in the concertina door
that water screen ran;
as a prattle empty can
rattled down upon the floor.
and the next stop is for no one,
for no one this day dares,
plod the flooding flood waters,
they're all at home in their chairs.
piped rain rolls down
the vibrating windows,
soon to be in town
and shopping indoors.
there's a green light
smearing at me,
it looks so happy,
so alright is he the
man (the only man)
in two seats ahead,
but he is nodding so stiffly
i think he might be dead.
through the hospital now,
pedestrian slow,
should we stop and
and ask if they know, if they know
if he's dead? but no, better not
for the rain is dripping down
my trousers and coat;
let's get on into town,
on this darkening of days
where a bus stop waiter, now listen, alright!
is flashing his iPhone it ever so bright;
please stop bus, stop bus, he prays;
and now a cough crawls on the bus,
giving every strain of virus to us.
but ding and
we are there, we are there at last,
so she announces, on her phone, ever so fast.
and so off i get
at the very edge of space,
the rain hasn't stopped yet,
nor has the human race.
and i wrote this poem, all of the way
on the 3A to prove it;
and if you can improve it
then you'll have to pay
for a ticket to mark your favourite page,
for every bus in the world is a similar stage.

The communication style that occurs between individuals in Indonesia is generally straightforward. People don't like to make indirect statements in communicating. This sometimes offends people, and to overcome this, one must have a 'bigger heart' by not easily breaking to understand 'right' meaning other people's intentions.
Indonesia is a country famous for its diversity of cultures, food, places, and good-heart attitude. That is why people are generally friendly and social.
It's just that they're 'plain' and less sensitive. This is certainly far from the western lifestyle. If we look from anywhere, they are more sensitive and would rather use an indirect statement in communicating. It makes them feel more comfortable.
In Indonesia, if someone praises you by saying "hey, you look pretty today" or maybe "oh man, at this young age you've been successful and rich", then the feedback you have to say "oh, I am normal, thank you". Yes, that's the correct statement.
Because it means you are polite and respectful to others. Let's see if you say "yes I am, thank you by the way", or a similar statement, you may be judged with pride or self-praise.
Conversely, a smile is the best way to do. Everyone likes to smile to show that they are happy to associate with others. Smiles are also considered a symbol of hospitality. People will easily please you as you smile at them first. Is it very easy, right? You can smile at everyone, friends, co-workers, bosses, and even strangers.
Unfortunately, the smile will have a different meaning in some country. Like in some Eastern Europe, you can still smile but not for everyone. You have to smile only to whom you know him/her well. Otherwise, it may be considered crazy or suspicious.
So, you have to organize your actions to your place. Each country has a different culture and may have the opposite meaning too. However, differences in each country are unique and attractive.
Along with this direct-communication style, people usually use their body language to express their words. For example, during a conversation people often use gestures or 'thumbs up' symbols that are 'great' or okay.
The other side, if they do 'shake-head' means 'no' or disagree. In Indonesia, communication with physical-contact is considered very rough. As an example, if you put your hands on the shoulders of others or hug them, this causes people to get angry with you right away. They will think you have no manners unless you already know them well. Honestly, Indonesian still hold the eastern culture as their life guide.
So, if you are planning to visit Indonesia, enjoy your vacation there. My best advice, if you first meet people, welcome them. Show your politeness so they will be happy with you. And remember, do not get to 'physical-contact' in your first interaction.

Beirut (Agenzia Fides) - A television channel born to serve "the glory of God and the growth of the Holy Church". This is the challenging and high-sounding business card with which Suboro TV was presented, the television channel of the Syrian Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch, whose Lebanese headquarters was inaugurated on Monday 25 March, on the day of the Marian liturgical solemnity of the Annunciation of Lord. "Suboro" is the Syriac word which also indicates the Annunciation of the Angel to Mary. And the Christian solemnity of the Annunciation (see Fides, 25/03/2019) is celebrated in the Middle East - especially in Lebanon - even by many Muslims.
The inauguration of the TV network site culminated with the blessing of the television studios by Ignatios Aphrem II, Patriarch of Antioch of the Syro-Orthodox. The inaugural ceremony was also attended by Aram I, the Armenian Apostolic Catholicos of the Grand House of Cilicia, and Ignace Youssif III Younan, Patriarch of Antioch of the Syro-Catholics. The inauguration ceremony also included a presentation of the show schedules of the new television network.
Patriarch Ignatios Aphrem II, in his inaugural speech, emphasized that Suboro TV "Voice of Antioch", will have the task of "spreading the good news that the Lord Jesus called his disciples to bring to the whole world, the good news of salvation of men", and may also express "the authenticity of our spiritual heritage", proper to the "apostolic see established by St. Peter in Antioch". As already reported by Agenzia Fides (see Fides, 6/6/2017), Suboro TV will dedicate particular space to news on the activities of the Churches around the world.
The first proposal to create a television network connected to the Syrian Orthodox Patriarchate had already emerged during the Synod of the Syro-Orthodox Church in 2009, and was re-launched during the Synod of 2015. The Syrian Orthodox Patriarchate, while acknowledging that many Syriac television networks already exist, wanted to inspire the birth of a new TV channel as a broadcaster directly connected with the Church, and not attributable to partial political visions or agendas of single groups and Syriac acronyms. The initial project of Suboro TV includes the opening of television studios also in Germany, the presence of correspondents in Syria, Iraq, Turkey and at the most substantial communities of the Syro-Orthodox diaspora scattered in the West.

"6 As they were coming home, when David returned from killing the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with songs of joy, and with musical instruments.[a] 7 And the women sang to one another as they made merry,
"Saul has killed his thousands,
and David his ten thousands."
8 Saul was very angry, for this saying displeased him. He said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; what more can he have but the kingdom?" 9 So Saul eyed David from that day on."
-1 Samuel 18:6-9
Essential David: The Warrior
1 Samuel 18: 6-9
The Reverend Phillip Blackburn
November 1, 2015
Have you ever used one of those magic erasers? Man, those things are impressive. Every time the kids spill something at home, or the dogs make a mess, or some such other event happens, Tasha says, "go get one of the magic erasers," as I, of course, come trotting over with a wet paper towel. The magic eraser is way better than a wet paper towel because it really does make things just magically go away. I thought about showing you the power of the magic eraser but I felt the sermon would devolve into something akin the shamwow commercial, and also, I don't like to handle the magic eraser unnecessarily, as I presume it will give me cancer. But still it's an amazing thing, because sometimes you just need to make things disappear; accidents need to seem like they never happened. Marker on the wall, no problem, magic eraser! Wine on the table? No problem, magic eraser. King David kind of being a killing machine. No problem, magic eraser.
See how well it works? Not only does the magic eraser work on muddy floors, it also works on the Bible itself. When you think of King David, good old King David, do you think of that little diddy that the Hebrew women penned about him? Probably you do not. "Saul killed his thousands, and David his tens of thousands." Tens of thousands. That's a lot of dead people. I mean, most of us know David killed people; after all, killing somebody is what he is most famous for. Giant old Goliath came lumbering out onto the battlefield one day and saw David and laughed. Then he was dead. Bam. Basically that seems to have happened to most of the people David ran into back in the day. Hey, look, it's David. Then…Dead! Amalekites…Dead. Jebusites….Dead. The list is long. Good thing we have that magic eraser. Scrub, scrub, scrub until we get back to David; oh yeah, he was great.
The truth is that when you go wading into the Old Testament, or really the Bible in general, you better have your magic eraser on hand if you want it to say what you really want to believe. The Bible is this strange mixture of history, poetry, prophecy, myth and mystery that, when combined, becomes the Word of God. And David and his story embody all that is complex and challenging about Scripture. David was God's anointed, the greatest king in the history of the Jewish people, the ancestor of Jesus. He killed Goliath, he honored Saul even as Saul sought to kill him, he established Jerusalem, he led the Jewish people into an era of unparalleled prosperity. Of course he also was famous for killing lots of people, had one of his best soldiers murdered so he could have his wife, and got into a long and protracted war with his own son. So you see what I'm saying, when we look at David, the temptation is to take the first list about David to heart and let the magic eraser do the rest. But when we do that, we risk something, we risk missing out on something God may be intending to share with us.
So I believe we have established that David was a warrior. If we wish to be kind, we can say he was cunning, less kind, and we can call him ruthless. You can choose. But either way he was successful. What I want to talk about is the little song that I have already referenced about David. You remember it: "Saul killed his thousands, and David killed his tens of thousands." That song appears 3 times in 1 Samuel and what happens with it is fascinating. Let me tell you about that song. So it was first sung in 1 Samuel 18 as Saul was returning victorious from his, er, David's, victory of Goliath. The people rejoiced as Saul came triumphantly home but they also knew the real score. Word traveled fast and so the King was rightly praised but so was the shepherd boy whose courage had felled Goliath. David was first identified by his people as a warrior, but he was identified as something else in this song. A rival. No one else seemed aware of what was happening; after all, kings were a new thing for the Hebrews, and David seemed blissfully unaware. But Saul knew the score: anybody whose name appeared alongside his own was dangerous. And from that moment on, Saul knew he'd have to keep his eye on David. David's success on the battlefield drove a wedge between David and Saul.
Such a wedge that, as you may remember, David had to run away from Saul on several occasions. And then, when first he sought anonymity in the court of a foreign king, and then later when he prepared to join the Philistines, yes you heard that right, the Philistines in battle, it was trotted out again. And both times that song, which we can imagine brought David so much delight in his youth, yet which had started his separation from his king, also served to separate him from his would be benefactors. In the first case, in the court of King Achish of Gath, he had to feign madness so he wouldn't be held as a prisoner. Then, when he had wooed Achish later, and become part of his retinue, the song was sung by other Philistine captains to keep David out of battle, and he was sent home away from the battlefield with his tail between his legs. His accomplishments in battle, his reputation, the fanfare which surrounded him meant nothing, and actually served to work against him, as his success made him a threat to almost every traditional power in the region.
So did you see what happened there? For all his power, for all the presence of God that was always with him, David never was welcome in the power structures of his world. He was, and in some ways always would be, an outsider. David was God's anointed leader and we, as readers, are to see his military success as a manifestation of God's claim on his life. Thus we can also see that when God really moves in this world, when God really gets busy, the existing worldly power structure is often unfriendly at best or hostile at worst to God's action. I mean, there is no greater evidence of this than Good Friday. Even in the very old days, however, we can see how the world marginalizes the business of God. David, cloaked in the glory of God, was a man without a home, unsafe in the court of Saul and unwelcome in the court of Achish. His power a threat.
David was commended and praised for his success on the battlefield. He killed a bunch of people. Does that mean that we, as followers of the same God, should claim our right to kill a bunch of people in service of God? Of course not, yet that disastrous reading has been put forth by others in the past, and regrettably, even today. David killed a bunch of people and, in his day, was praised for it. Should we praise him for killing a bunch of people? No. We shouldn't. But we shouldn't erase it either. David was shunned by the powers of the day because of God's presence with him. Should we remember and learn from this? Absolutely. We should put the eraser down and embrace a simple and nearly universal truth of Biblical teaching and one that is clearly evident in David's early life. The closer we cleave to God's work in this world, the more at odds we will be with the powers of this world. That's the message for us.
It is unwise for us, ever, to take our erasers to Scripture, even though we all do it. It is unwise for us to do anything other than approach all of Scripture with awe, wonder and humility. David, as you will see further in the coming weeks, was no saint. But he has a story to tell us, and God is present in that story; present in the good, the bad, and the ugly. So let's read it with our eyes and hearts open, and see what happens. We might even get ourselves into some trouble and wouldn't that be fun. Amen.

Putting Your Employees First
I spoke at a "Lean" conference on Friday. Lean is a way of doing business where you do everything you can to run a business efficiently while still deeply respecting the people you work with. You're making improvements that may help the bottom line, but your focus is on creating a better workspace. This conference was a great fit for me!
The last speaker was my favorite. His name is Kevin Hancock. He's the President of a huge lumber company here in Maine, Hancock Lumber. As you can probably tell from the name of the company, Kevin is family – a 4th generation owner. What was fascinating about Kevin's talk is that he hardly has any voice. He suffers from a rare ailment that makes his throat spasm when he talks. He's been dealing with this for a couple of years, and while it was painful in a way to listen to him, he assured us it doesn't cause him pain – it's just hard for him to communicate.
So what was cool about Kevin is that like many survivors, he says that losing his voice is the best thing that happened to him as the leader of a large company because it forced him to listen more and talk less. It also gave him a new mission – to help others who have lost their voice in society and at his company. He sees his physical limitation as a gift and a calling.
"There are a lot of ways to lose your voice in this world."
Over the years, what he saw at Hancock Lumber, which is similar to many companies, is that employees who didn't feel they were being authentically heard were much less engaged with their work. And that this was true for about 60%-70% of the workforce! In his new quiet-mode, he decided to listen more to make sure everyone at his company felt as powerfully connected to their work as he did. This started with a new mission statement: His #1 corporate goal now is to provide meaningful work to enhance the lives of his employees.
This is an amazing change to make in a business environment because it meant their former #1 corporate goal – which was to always put the customer first – had to be bumped to #2. As they explained to their customers, they were still a "wicked close second," and that if the company was taking good care of their employees, employees would, in turn, take great care of their customers.
Of course, they still wanted a way to measure how they were doing, but it turns out measuring productivity and profit are much easier to track than employee morale. What they do now is have employees fill out a simple survey every three months that asks two things: How engaged are you with your work? And how excited are you to come to work each day? They've watched those scores jump from 60%-70%, up to nearly 100%.
They've done this by changing management's focus to daily improvement of the workplace v. focusing on processing lumber. Leaders lead by listening. They swap out ego for self-awareness to create change first from within. And they disperse power rather than collect it. FYI: They also walked away from measuring success from a shareholder's perspective. A good return on investment is now an outcome and not a goal.
"Change happens inside a company one person at a time, and one situation at a time."
When your goal where you work is balance versus working crazy hours and making yourself sick, you have to trust that your work will be better. And your life will be better.
Isn't it interesting when trouble in life becomes a cool opportunity to change? And that losing your voice can help you find a whole new voice?

Let the Halloween horror begin! The first trailer for CBS's upcoming animated special Michael Jackson's Halloween is here and it sure is something. The "unexpected, magical adventure" will center on two Millennials who meet on Halloween night at a funky, mysterious hotel. That Rocky Horror Picture Show-esque premise will then transition into what's probably a whimsical musical adventure filled with the familiar songs of the late Michael Jackson.
Is this thing destined to be a holiday classic played on the network every year? Maybe, but it's hard to tell from this trailer. While the music of Michael Jackson will live on for decades to come, I'm not sure how timeless pumpkin-headed dancers and busty garden witches will be. (But everyone loves animated dogs and talking monkey shenanigans, right?) I also have no clue what they have to do with Michael Jackson's discography, but I guess we'll find out one way or another when this animated special hits the airwaves later this month.
Starring Jim Parsons, Christine Baranski, Alan Cumming, Brad Garrett, George Eads, Lucas Till, Lucy Liu, and Kiersey Clemons, Michael Jackson's Halloween haunts your holiday TV screens on CBS, Friday, October 27th at 8pm.
Check out the trailer for Michael Jackson's Halloween below:
And here's the official synopsis:
Millennials Vincent (Lucas Till) and Victoria (Kiersey Clemons) meet "accidentally" on Halloween night and find themselves, along with Ichabod the dog, at a mysterious hotel located at 777 Jackson Street called This Place Hotel. Once inside, Vincent and Victoria are sent on an unexpected, magical adventure of personal discovery, culminating in a spectacular dance finale featuring an animated Michael Jackson.
Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments because I am very confused at what exactly this is supposed to be. Try to keep the "Michael Jackson is rolling in his grave" jokes to a minimum, please.

Super Moon November 14, 2016 at 5:52 AM PST in Taurus
This morning the full moon was exact at 5:52 AM PST in Taurus 22 degrees 28 min. Here in the Tri-Cities we had clouds last night so we didn't have an opportunity to see the super moon. This full moon in Taurus brings out our down-to-earth, appreciation for aesthetics, relationships and our intimacy with our partners. Taurus is also steady and calm. It is determined and even stubborn. Taurus reminds us of the work to be done, we survive our earthly existence because we did the work in Taurus for our needed sustenance. Taurus also symbolizes the inner ear, are you listening to your inner calm or something else?
The super moon is likely to intensify our feelings and emotions as the Sun is in Scorpio (first house of self for us in Pacific Northwest). Venus rules this super moon, emphasizing our inner love nature. Are we willing to be vulnerable to risk our hearts for deeper connection in love? There is no guarantee in life. Love is what opens us up, creates our deepest connections and even in the light of loss, it is love that makes us whole again and again.
From the new moon to this full moon we've gone through immense change here in the USA. This change is reflecting the deep desire for change, for millions to be seen that have felt or been truly unseen for some time. However we are in the story, we must remind ourselves every day, every moment that love is what makes us whole, what opens us to life after dark. There is a time and season for everything in life, that's the beauty and the value of knowing astrology to navigate through times that are uncertain. It helps see "when" and "where" you are in the bigger picture of life. It is a guide beyond the visibility when your headlights only reach so far on the road ahead. Take this time to explore it, it may sooth your soul in times of chaos.
Blessings to all, Sarrah

With his most ambitious, personal project cancelled abruptly in mid-story (like so many network TV series), more due to falsified sales records and management panic than lack of actual buyer interest, Jack Kirby plowed on. MISTER MIRACLE continued for another year, joined by 2 series created in answer to editorial mandate than his own interest. But, as always, Kirby gave his best, and often, more than what was called for. THE DEMON was an "answer" to the already-fading HORROR boom, while KAMANDI was specifically DC's "answer" to PLANET OF THE APES and the early-70's disturbing sci-fi bent toward post-apocalytic futures those sad films inspired. Between the last gasps of the Viet Nam War and the downfall of Republican President Richard Nixon, the early-70's could be a very grim time indeed.

Welcome to the birthday edition of Saturday Ramblings. It was the birthday week for the Synonymous Rambler. Hey, the SR takes birthdays seriously. One day isn't enough! Wednesday was my son's 19th birthday. Friday was the birthday of my friend Mike Davis—and I am still recovering from his party. (He said it was BYOLS: Bring Your Own Lamp Shade. But all I had was agua de sandia…) And it was the birthday of … well, you'll see in a bit. And then you'll know why this is an abbreviated edition of your Saturday Ramblings…
At the recent Southern Baptist Convention convention there was much discussion over the doctrine of salvation. David Platt, a Baptist pastor in Alabama, supposedly said he thought the "sinner's prayer" was superstitious and useless for those who were not the elect. Well, Platt is none too happy those words were put in his mouth. (We didn't do that here, by the by.) Here is his response, as well as the message he shared at the Convention's convention. (I like saying that.)
I like reading both fiction and non-fiction. But when it comes to the leaks coming from the Vatican, the powers that be prefer non-fiction. Go figure.
Well, this proves it. I was waffling a bit on the idea of creation vs. evolution, but now that we have proof, well, I'm all in. And we wonder why some, ok, many, people question whether a Christian-based science curriculum can offer a valid education. (Give HUG a few minutes, and I'm sure he'll work out how My Little Pony is proof of evolution …)
And in our effort to further separate Christians from the world around, we now have the Resonate Film Festival, honoring Christian and family-friendly movies. The Christian ghetto continues to grow.
Ok, so maybe you don't like President Obama's plan for providing health care to all. (You can read Chaplain Mike's excellent piece about that here.) Maybe you think Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has a better plan to get the economy rolling again. But which president would do better in the face of an alien invasion? This could be the deciding factor in a tight race. By the way, are you prepared? You never know …
Speaking of aliens, the World's Ugliest Dog was crowned this week. Mugly, a Chinese Crested Short Snout, beat out 28 other rats dressed as dogs to win this year's contest. (Hey, that's how the Synonymous Rambler described them, not me.) His picture takes the place of Mr. Bones at the top of this week's Ramblings. In addition to this great honor, Mugly gets $1000, a VIP stay in a luxurious hotel, and a year's worth of dog biscuits. Seriously. Take that, American Idol.
Birthdays this week were celebrated by Mary Livingstone; June Carter-Cash; Jason Mraz; Jack Dempsey; Mick Fleetwood; Jeff Beck; Chris Wood; George Orwell; Carly Simon; Pearl S. Buck; Peter Lorre; Helen Keller; Bob "Captain Kangaroo" Keeshan; Bruce Johnston; Lester Flatt; Mark Dunn and Jude Helix Wolfe.
Who? None other than my newest grandson, that's who. Jude is the beautiful son of my daughter, Leah, and her husband, Ty. Mother and son doing well, father's finger is sprained from taking so many pictures. Grandpa is bursting with pride. Enjoy.

Vikings S5E9 Review: A Simple Story
A Simple Story
Another strong episode this week! Given we only have one more until the hiatus, I'm glad to see the show is deciding to end strong. We see the aftermath of the battle on both sides, in all its bloody glory. We also see Heahmund, who seems to be relatively fine despite his injuries. He and Lagertha have an engaging conversation, and I can honestly say I never really thought of the two of them together, but they seem to have a genuine connection. Lagertha isn't asking anything of him, simply providing him answers to his questions, and gently querying him about his own duties. It is a discussion among equals, in contrast to those between Heahmund and Ivar.
Harald is frustrated, and Ivar seems to just be completely lackadaisical over the entire situation, refusing to take any responsibility for the failure–and it's Vitsek who ends up coming up with a solution to all of this–to ask for Rollo's support. Ah, Rollo, remember him? Someone we haven't seen in a season and a half? He's been off in France, and conveniently Vitsek manages to go to France and come back quickly–with troops. No Rollo, though. I suppose the actor wasn't available, still? Will he forever be 'Sir Not Appearing in this Show' now? I understand having other obligations, but I think it's strange that Rollo hasn't been on scene during all of this upheaval.
Upon hearing of the French coming to assist Ivar, Bjorn goes to see if anything can be done, thinking Rollo is there. Of course, he finds no Rollo. Ivar attempts to have him killed while he's trying to discuss peace, and it's only Harald's hand that stops it–it's clear that Harald is tired of having to deal with this brat.
In the first of two small relationship interludes in Lagertha's camp, we see Ubbe lament marrying Margarette, knowing that she's entirely too prideful and unstable. He confesses his feelings to Torvi, and they come together; we cut to Margarette seeing this in Kattegat. It seems she may have a gift of seeing–or she may just be going mad. Regardless, she is cruel to Torvi's children, and this doesn't bode well for them.
As for the other interlude? Well, Heahmund and Lagertha have another conversation, this time in her tent. He hobbles through jeers to get to her, and he says that he will fight for her. It shifted something in my chest; it has been so long since someone has wanted to fight for her, without wanting something else from her–he says he has known her his whole life, and in some ways, I think he is for her what Aethelstan was to Ragnar–her foil. I know it can't last, but I am here for this relationship.
His pledge to her? It isn't just done privately. He pledges his fealty before the entire camp, sealing his fate to hers. Let's hope after so much betrayal, Lagertha doesn't have to face another from him, later.
As for Wessex and Iceland? Well, in Wessex, Aethelwulf gathers all of his noblemen together to discuss the Viking threat, only to be killed by an allergic reaction to a bee sting. In some magnificent maneuvering, Judith manages to get Alfred instated as King instead of Aethelred (the first born and not-bastard son). This will be important in the future, as Alfred is incredibly important to history–so I'm interested to see where this goes.
The less said about Iceland the better. Infighting occurs, the temple is dedicated to Thor, a fight ensues, someone is stabbed in the throat, and Floki is very unhappy that his 'utopia' is failing despite him having made no real plans to succeed at it.
Overall, an incredibly strong episode; the only part of the episode that was weak was the events in Iceland, and I really think at this point they should be dropped from the show entirely.

• Channel-switching, all-tube design
• High-headroom Clean channel
• Overdrive channel with 3-band EQ
• Reverb assignable to one or both channels
• Solo Boost available on both channels
• All-tube buffered Effects Loop
• Wattage: 50 Watts Class AB
• Speaker: 12" Eminence CV75
• Black Leatherette Tolex with Suede Accent
• Hand Assembled in Port Jefferson, New York, USA
The Galaxy is a 50-watt channel-switching tube amp, designed to deliver more clean tone and more tube overdrive than any Supro ever made. The Galaxy amplifier combines the cleanest Supro preamp channel from our pedal-friendly Keeley model, with a Zinky-designed overdrive channel that has more than enough gain to seamlessly transition from the edge of breakup into complex tube saturation and sustain—without sacrificing dynamics or losing tonal balance at stage volume.
The Galaxy amplifier's all-tube signal path includes footswitchable solo boost and buffered FX loop functions, as well as a six-spring reverb that can be assigned to one or both preamp channels. The unique gain structure, world-class reverb, advanced switching options and low-impedance FX loop capabilities found in the Galaxy deliberately move Supro into the realm of boutique American tube amps, pioneered by Randall Smith, Paul Rivera and Alexander Dumble.
Clean Channel
The Galaxy clean channel is optimized for clean tone and maximum headroom. Derived from our best-selling Keeley Custom amplifier model, this pristine preamp delivers warm, balanced tone that can get very loud without distorting. The crystal clear sound of the Galaxy is specifically designed for players who want to use effects pedals and drop-tuned guitars while retaining a firm, fat bottom punch and crystal-clear top end across the entire fretboard.
Overdrive Channel
The Galaxy Overdrive channel comes fully loaded with independent Gain, 3-band EQ and Master Volume controls that allow precise frequency contouring and level matching with the robust clean channel. The result of a decade-long collaboration between Supro president David Koltai and legendary tube amp designer Bruce Zinky, the Galaxy Overdrive channel uses multiple cascaded tube stages to deliver a wide-open lead tone with more available gain than any other Supro.
Tube Reverb
The tube-driven, six-spring reverb in the Galaxy amplifier is assignable to either one or both channels. A dedicated dwell control for the high gain channel is located on the rear panel, and allows for preset attenuation of the signal feeding the reverb pan when the high-gain channel is turned on.
Tube-Driven FX Loop
An all-tube FX loop stage provides a perfectly buffered signal to interact optimally with stompboxes, multi-effects and modern switching systems that require the 4-cable method for inserting time-based effects in between the preamp and power amp stages of the Supro Galaxy.
Cabinetry and Speakers
The Supro Galaxy is available as 1x12 combo or compact head dressed in tuxedo-black leatherette tolex with matching 1x12 and 4x12 half-back extension cabinet options. Premium, Eminence CV75 Redcoat speakers have been specially selected for the Galaxy model for their exceptional performance across all genres of music: from crystal-clear ethereal cleans to dirty blues to the heaviest low-tuned riffs.

Up early J started to put all our camping gear on trademe.com (NZ version of eBay) whilst V went and got some supplies to ensure we didn't run out of booze EVER again!
Crazy no-shorts offered us $40 for everything and a free night at the campsite (so $70 technically) but we figured we could get more on trademe and we didn't want to stay here any longer because he was weird and the water was slimey.
J set the auction time to end 3hrs before we are supposed to be at the airport on Thursday just to keep us on our toes. He had also hacked into the Internet and had managed to exceed the download limit so he hid round the corner and nervously waited for V to return. Giggling like a schoolgirl he told V what he'd done and her reply was inevitable 'You're a geek Jeremy'.
Drove to Leigh harbour then to the long sand dune beach of Pakiri where we ate sandwiches in the sunshine.
Went to a Family Parks campsite in Whangarei as we got free muffins at the last one. No such luck this time, but we did have a cool pitch spot on the beachside.
V made J cry when she promised him a lasagne for dinner and then realised there was no oven. Prawn curry was pretty sweet though.
Talked to the sweet old couple next to us in a caravan from 1910.

MSU's top 50 players: No. 25 Blake Ezor
This is the 26th in a 50-day summer series counting down the top players in Michigan State football history, as I see them. As with last year's MSU basketball top 50, the criteria is performance and impact at MSU only, professional career irrelevant. Have your own opinion? Leave a comment or tweet at me @Graham_Couch.
No. 25 – Blake Ezor
Running back, 1986-89, Las Vegas
The skinny: Ezor set the standard for toughness among MSU running backs in the George Perles era. And Perles then held all others to that unreachable standard. Ezor was too small for his workload — 5-foot-9, 180 pounds — but withstood the pounding while producing two memorable Big Ten seasons. – Read more at LSJ.com

United Nations Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, former U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, said July 28 he?
Short Summary
No available shotlist
Initials PC/V/CW
Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
Background: United Nations Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, former U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, said July 28 he was "overwhelmed" at being selected to be Vice-President Richard Nixon's running partner for the Republican presidential nomination. If nominated, he expects to resign "some time in August" from his post as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
Surrounded by newsmen and television cameras in the Palm Room of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Lodge was composed and genial as he handled a barrage of questions. "I feel very strange" he said, smiling," but I suppose I'll get used to it." Lodge said he considered foreign policy a crucial matter in the campaign. He said there was "enormous interest" in it among people in small towns and large from coast to coast. He had only read summaries of the Republican platform, but on that basis, considered it "very satisfactory" including the Civil Rights positions.
As for critics of administration foreign policy, he said, "If they have a complaint, the burden of proof is on them. The United States is winning in the United Nations. We've never been defeated in the U.N." Concerning his vote-getting power in comparison with Sen. John F. Kennedy, the Democratic presidential nominee in their home state of Massachusetts, where Lodge was beaten by Kennedy in a Senate race, Lodge said, "These things are mysteries. The change every few years." He implied that the outcome now might be different.

Nii Tete Mante, Gerard Medioni, James D Weiland, Armand Rene Tanguay; Object Localization and Tracking System - Evaluation of Speech Synthesized Feedback Mechanisms. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2014;55(13):4143.

© ARVO (1962-2015); The Authors (2016-present)
The purpose of this study was to test our 'Object Localization and Tracking System' (OLTS), which assists blind/low vision subjects with reaching and grasping for objects. The main goal was to explore how varying the visual angle of a computer generated feedback mechanism alters the accuracy of reaching and grasping in object localization tasks.
The OLTS utilized a wide-angle (~100 degrees) monocular camera (Tanguay, Sahin), a central processing unit (CPU) and bone conduction headphones. Computer Vision algorithms (Context Tracker, Dinh & Medioni) on the CPU parsed, and processed the camera input to determine object(s) position. Bone conduction headphones produced verbal auditory feedback for the blind test subject based on object position. Thus, objects positioned left of the center of vision of the camera would elicit a "Left" to the test subject. Objects within the "central-region" of the field of view cause the computer to say "Center". Once the object was centralized within the cameras center of vision, test subjects were asked to reach out and touch the object. Two blind test subjects evaluated the device. Four different "central-region" visual angles of the feedback algorithm were used (7.8, 15.6, 23.4 and 31 degrees); three experiments per angle were conducted. Each experiment consisted of localizing and grasping for an object.
Subject O-N was able to grasp the object on the first "reach" 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, and 2/3 times for visual angles 7.8, 15.6, 23.4 and 31 degrees, respectively. The average amount of "reaches" it took to successfully grasp the object were 3, 2.33, 1.67, and 1.33 for angles 7.8, 15.6, 23.4 and 31 degrees, respectively. Subject R-T was able to grasp the object on the first "reach" 0, 0, 2/3 and 0 times for angles 7.8, 15.6, 23.4 and 31 degrees. The average amount of reaches it took to grasp the object were 3.33, 3, 1.33 and 1.33 for angles 7.8, 15.6, 23.4 and 31 degrees, respectively. Object tracking paths, time to grasp, video and audio data were also recorded for each experiment.
The experiments conducted have given initial indicators to finding an optimal visual angle for our sound guided feedback mechanism. Specifically, the initial results show that increasing the visual angle decreases the amount of attempts to grasp the object.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., March 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Global connected car leader Cohda Wireless will supply its equipment for a trial that lays the groundwork for the expected mandating of connected vehicle technology in the US within four years.
South Carolina-based Clemson University has chosen Cohda to supply its MK5 onboard and roadside unit hardware and software for the project supported by US Ignite, a White House initiative that is run by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Clemson will use Cohda Wireless units for the South Carolina Connected Vehicle Testbed (SC-CVT), located along a 10-mile segment of Interstate I-85 near Clemson's International Center for Automotive Research (ICAR) campus in Greenville South Carolina.
Cohda Wireless is a world leader in Connected Vehicle technology, also known as V2X (vehicle to everything), which enables connected cars to interact vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I). Cohda's hardware and software products are used in more than 60 per cent of all V2X field trials worldwide today.
Clemson University School of Computing Associate Professor Jim Martin said Cohda's technology was chosen primarily for two reasons. "Firstly Cohda's MK5 onboard unit and roadside unit performed well in validation tests and, secondly, because the support provided by Cohda to help us get our equipment up and running was outstanding," he said.
Cohda Wireless CEO Paul Gray said inclusion on this US Ignite-backed project provided valuable recognition of Cohda's role in the global industry. "This further extends Cohda's leading position as a provider of innovative Connected Vehicle technology," he said.
When establishing the SC-CVT project, the NSF stated that by the end of the decade, the US Department of Transportation would likely require all new vehicles to be Connected Vehicles (CV), capable of communicating with other vehicles and roadside infrastructure through wireless communications in order to reduce the number of crashes and save lives.
Crash avoidance applications supported by V2V and V2I connectivity exchange safety-critical information such as speed, location and direction of movement to assess the crash risk based on the proximity of vehicles.
The National Science Foundation is an independent federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering.

The way we consume food is an important, even essential, part of religious observances for many faiths and cultures. Dining out in a Persian restaurant presents a great opportunity to unwind, relax and enjoy a delicious meal in a great atmosphere.
According to PersianRestaurant.org, there are many reasons people like eating Persian Food at a restaurant:
1. Persian Restaurants Being Something New
It is all too easy to simply fall into the same routines when you are cooking at home. Many find themselves simply serving up the same few dishes over and over again, without ever trying anything that's a little bit outside of the box. At a Persian restaurant you have so many more options available to you, including many that you may never have tried before. This is ideal for the experimental person. After all, you never know when you might discover your new favorite dish.
2. Special Occasions at Persian Restaurants
Young and even older generations today are more likely to go out to a nice Persian restaurant when they have a special occasion than ever before. Birthdays, family reunions and celebrations of job promotions and the like are more often than ever marked at a Persian restaurant than with a dinner at home.
3. Convenience at Persian Restaurants
Home cooking needs a lot of preparation. You have to know exactly what you want to eat at the start of the day so you can prepare for the ingredients and search for the recipe. Whether you are part of a family or single and on your own, eating a meal out can be easier and more enjoyable. If you've been working all day, it will be more relaxing to sit down and be waited on rather than rushing around the kitchen trying to throw together a meal. Dining at home involves cooking, eating and cleaning up. With today's busy lifestyles, your time will be better spent catching up with friends and family or simply relaxing by yourself over a nice meal.
4. Meetings at a Persian Restaurant
When meeting someone for the first time, whether it's a prospective date, a business lunch or getting together with a group of friends, going out to eat can provide the perfect environment for getting to know your companions, whether romantically or to seal a business deal. According to studies, more than 40% of all eating that takes place in a Persian restaurant nowadays is job related.
5. Relationship
Going out to dinner gives you the opportunity to interact and be social outside your home and workplace. This kind of downtime is so critical to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It is nice to laugh, talk and actually enjoy others while forgetting about your many stressors. You can go out on your own and meet someone fun and new at the restaurant, or bring your favorite person to spend some joyful moments with. Living socially is a component in the formula for having a healthy lifestyle.

A system of intracellular drug delivery was developed at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics (ITEB) of The Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). This principle is expected to be used to obtain highly effective anti-inflammatory drugs.
Anton Popov, a researcher at the Institute, said that their team had developed a new system for intracellular delivery of biologically active substances based on polyelectrolyte microcapsules. They include cerium dioxide nanoparticles, which can be used to create a new generation of anti-inflammatory drugs.
This type of nanoparticles has unique antioxidant properties that neutralize the reactive oxygen intermediates harmful to cells. Nanoparticles form a thin layer in the shell of designed microcapsule. This protects the substance from exposure to aggressive environmental factors.
Such microcontainers (polyelectrolyte microcapsules) have been known for a long time and are well-studied as a system to deliver substances, including various medicines, into the cell. According to Vladimir Chubarev, Professor of Pharmacology Department at the Institute of Pharmacy and Translational Medicine of I.M. Sechenov Moscow State Medical University, the development of the first drugs in the form of microcapsules began in Russia almost a half century ago.
"Our Institute developed the theoretical platform for creating microcapsules based on liposomes. Later, they found their practical application as liposomal drugs containing various medicinal substances. The study of pharmacological properties of these microcapsules demonstrated very interesting results. Microcapsules use leads to significant improvement in bioavailability of drugs, allowing dose reduction and thus, reduction of side effects," said Vladimir Chubarev.
According to the scientist, new Russian medicines in the form of microcapsules will be available in the market within five years.

This Little Blue Disc Will Send Your Beer Into The Ice Age
You don't have to be an IPA-sipping booze aficionado to know the pain of drinking a warm beer. It tastes like pee and turns an afternoon of fun and laughs into a day of dry-heaving and gentle sobs. A cooler works up until you take the drink out of the vessel, and putting ice cubes into your beer is a boozing faux-pas reserved for elderly Floridians in pleated white pants. Enter the Beer Blizzard, the best way to ice your Bud Diesel.
It's a pretty ingenious idea: the Beer Blizzard is a reusable ice cube that's shaped like the bottom of a beer can. It's made from a strong thermoplastic polyurethane material and filled with a non-toxic fluid that freezes fast and actually makes your beer colder as you drink. You can use it as a coaster, or slip it into the bottom of the Beer Blizzard koozie. Just toss in your beer and enjoy the arctic temperatures.
Jeremy Glass loves ice cold beer and also regular ice.

Before they dive headlong into their next record, Chicago rockers Chevelle are seeking closure for their 2002 album, Wonder What's Next.
Their latest single, "Closure," is rapidly climbing the rock charts, and seems likely to soon replace their last single, "Send the Pain Below," which is still getting strong airplay.
"People have been really good to us," drummer Sam Loeffler said. "Our songs keep building and building to the point where you can't get them off the radio. It's funny because I remember when [the first single] 'The Red' went to radio, and I was like, 'How can that get on the radio? It's got these big, big screams in it.' "
Loeffler is especially thrilled that "Closure" is causing listeners' ears to perk. As much as he likes the previous singles, he has a special fondness for the new cut (see "Chevelle Thinking About Horses, Pineapples For 'Closure' Clip").
"I like it because it's really different for us," he said. "It's a really quiet song, almost a ballad. Not unlike [frontman] Pete [Loeffler], the song is moody. It's basically about closure for a relationship. People go through experiences and they can't really get out of them until they have some closure. But the whole thing is him saying, 'No, I'm cool with it.' And at the end he says that he'll take it all back because he's still using the anger."
A video for "Closure" will be released shortly. The clip was taken from the band's upcoming DVD, "Live at the Norva," which documents a performance in Norfolk, Virginia, during an off-day on this year's Ozzfest. The home video, due October 14, contains 14 songs including "The Red" and "Send the Pain Below."
"[The DVD] is just a good interpretation of what we're doing right now," Sam said. "We're going to change as we continue writing new stuff. Things are going to get different, and we really wanted to be able to look back and remember what it was like at this time. It's a snapshot of our professional life."
Chevelle are currently making plans for their first major headlining tour, which will launch November 1 in Cleveland. Dates will run through at least December 17 in the band's hometown of Chicago. S.T.U.N. will open all the shows.
"We headlined a little in February, but it was really short and we had to play small markets because it was during the Music as a Weapon and Ozzfest tours," Loeffler said. "Now we can play wherever we want, so that's what we're doing. I've never looked forward to something more than this tour."

Stock to soothe the soul
Number of Servings
Makes 2-3 litres
Preparation Time
10 mins
Cooking Time
6 hours
It's become fashionable to make 'bone broth', but for us, a good old-fashioned stock is simply food to soothe the soul, especially in January when you want to hunker down with something wholesome and nutritious. It's a great way to use up leftovers and to get the maximum goodness from a carcass, proper nose to tail eating.
Simple to make and makes a fantastic base for a wide range of soups and stews, which is perfect for short Winter days. Make enough to store in your freezer and you'll have a supply of ready to go on hand to nip jack frost in the nose.
- 2 Roasted chicken carcasses
- 3 Tbsp cider vinegar or juice of 1 lemon
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 Tbsp black peppercorns
- 1 Onion
- 1 Stick of celery
- Any leftover veg
- Place the carcasses and all the other ingredients into a large deep pot and cover with water so the carcasses are neatly submerged.
- Put the lid on the pot and bring to the boil, skim off any of the foam of that bubbles to the top so that your stock will be clear once finished.
- Simmer on the lowest setting of your hob for roughly 6 hours, but really as long as you can leave it. The longer you cook it the more gelatinous your stock will be.
- Leave to cool and once fully cold skim off any fat. Strain through a fine sieve or sheet of muslin and decant into pots for the fridge or freezer.
