According to the National Retail Federation, Americans will spend approximately $2.6 billion on Halloween candy this year — that's a lot of Skittles, Starbursts, and snack-sized candy bars. But as you're buying bags of goodies to giveaway, you may wonder how this sweet tradition got its start.
Well, the answer isn't totally clear, but let's shed a little bit of light on this dark holiday.
Many scholars think that Halloween can be traced back about 2,000 years to its roots as a pre-Christian Celtic festival called Samhain (pronounced "sah-win"), which means "summer's end." The festivities, usually held around Nov. 1, were a celebration of the end of harvest season and the beginning of darkest days of the year. Because the ancient records surviving to this day are largely incomplete, our understanding of the holiday isn't fully understood. But Samhain is also thought to have been a time for the spirits of the dead to be able to cross over into the other world.
Many scholars point out that Halloween was a separate holiday — and they would be correct — but many of the traditions, along with other pagan celebrations marking the beginning of winter and the rise of the dead overlapped, making their way into present day Halloween.
Costumes and Candy
During Samhain, folks would dress up like the dead and sing songs so others would give them 'soul' cakes — little round cakes with crosses on the top that, when eaten, symbolize a soul escaping into heaven — so the idea of giving out goodies isn't entirely new for the fall holiday. Early costumes were usually disguises of some sort.
In the 8th century, the Catholic influence demanded that all pagan celebrations be replaced, so in came All Saints Day, Allhallows Eve, and All Soul's Day — more religious in nature than their end-of-harvest/dead people festivities.
After a few centuries though, the old holiday traditions blended with the new, and Allhallows Eve became a night of giving out goodies to those dressed in costumes resembling the undead.
Tricks and other games
These days, no one takes the "trick" part of "trick-or-treat" all that seriously, but it wasn't always that way.
In the late 1800s, playing pranks on Halloween was a regular part of the holiday. In the United States, mischievous tricks might include tipping over outhouses or egging houses. By the 1920s, the mostly harmless tricks turned to far more serious acts of vandalism.
Some people believed the holiday was getting out of hand and began to encourage young people to dress up and got door-to-door trick-or-treating instead of getting into dangerous situations.
Also see, Bobbing for apples was a tradition of love.
Halloween today
It took until after the Great Depression and World War II for trick-or-treating to really take off. Once the government lifted sugar rationing and people had income to spare, their newly built neighborhoods served as a perfect foothold for the holiday to really take hold. Instead of soul cakes and creepy costumes, mass produced candy bars and a variety of costumes including clowns, cowboys, and popular characters became the norm.

These days, princesses, superheros, withes, ghosts, vampires, and pirates are the top costumes for kids. Witches, vampires, and superhero are the top choices for adults.
Even pets get in on the fun nowadays. The NRF found that 29 million people plan to dress their pets in costumes in Halloween. The top costumes include pumpkin, hot dog, and superhero.
So now you know, that fun-sized Snickers you'll be snacking on come Oct. 31 has a whole Halloween history behind it.

Hedgehog pets are becoming more popular every day!
This charming Hedgehog floats on his back just like a boat! He even wafts around the little battle.
I usually float him like this after bathing. Look what this little guy did, it is so adorable. The ragweed floats on his spine while looking pretty relaxed!
Thay can float because hedgehog quills are filled with air chambers, which make them buoyant. But the quills are still super-strong.
They're used for self-defense, after all.
I didn't know hedgehogs were this funny!
He is singularly hilarious, to me, he looks like a spiky chicken nugget.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is designed to help you better understand your feelings and emotions and free you from feeling trapped by them. Rather than simply analyzing your problem, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills that can be used in everyday life to give you greater happiness and wellbeing. So many people feel that they know what's wrong, they just need the clarity and skills to work with the issues. DBT empowers you to do just that, with the ongoing support of a therapist's guidance.
The skills learned in DBT fall under four umbrellas – Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Emotion Regulation. Here we look at three skills you can learn in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and that you can use right now to bring real change to your life.
Identify and Label
Mindfulness is the ability to know and be aware of what is going on around you and within you. With the distractions and busy-ness of modern life, this is not as easy as it sounds. Consciously and intentionally bringing awareness to ourselves and our environment is the first step to building our mindfulness muscle.
When we are beginners, one of the most effective ways to do this is through meditation or a mindful activity like slow walking. Meditation does not have to be complicated. Placing your attention on three breaths as you inhale and exhale can reap benefits. (Remember, when your mind wanders, as minds do, gently bring your attention back to your breath. Do this as many times as is needed during those three inhalations and exhalations.) As you do these mindful activities, notice what you feel, physically and internally, and identify these qualities by giving them a name, like 'step,' 'breath in,' 'breath out'; or even 'anger,' 'worry,' and 'self-criticism.' As you become more skilled at doing this, you can extend it to everyday situations, like driving to work, being in a meeting or having an argument. Simply knowing and recognizing what is going on is a powerful tool to allow you to begin making changes.
Accept Things As They Are (even if you want them to change)
Once you've learned to recognize and understand what is going on inside and around you, it is easier to work with these feelings. In some cases, you may identify things you can change. For example, every time you walk past the bakery, you notice a craving for cookies, so you can choose not to take that route anymore. To make that decision to change your course, you had to be aware that this caused a craving in you and accept this reality. If you spent effort pushing away and denying that this craving was a problem for you, or you were not aware this desire increased when you passed the bakery, you would not have been able to apply the solution of walking a different route.
Working skillfully with our feelings is also about recognizing what we can't change, and accepting rather than fighting against them. One way to do this is to cope with a distressing moment by having a one-mindful focus. Learning to focus on one point, like your breath, a candle or flower, or sounds, can draw your attention to this one-pointed focus and give you time to calm down. Your Dialectical Behavior Therapist can work with you to develop a range of different coping skills to help you walk through difficult moments that will inevitably arise.
Taking Care of Yourself to Regulate Emotions
When you feel angry, hurt, or another painful emotion, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. You might even feel like your emotions are out of control. Fortunately, Dialectical Behavior Therapy can teach you how to manage emotions, so you feel more in the driver's seat of your experience. A first step you can take, even before feeling a painful emotion, is to manage your vulnerability factors.
Eating well, getting enough sleep, exercising, resting and taking time off when you need it can all help. By taking care of your body and health needs, you are making yourself more resilient to challenging situations. Imagine being cut off in traffic when you are well-rested, have had enough nutritious food to eat, are wearing comfortable clothing and had a nice walk out in the sun earlier that day. Someone cutting you off probably won't have much of an impact. Now imagine someone cutting you off and you are sleep deprived, hungry and haven't had any exercise. If you're like most people, being cut off will have much more impact, and you will be more likely to experience intense emotions. Although life circumstances prevent us from always taking care of our bodies in an ideal way, the more we can do our best to take good care, the more emotionally resilient and better able to ride out life's difficult moments we will be.
A skilled therapist can help you develop the DBT skills that work best for you to give you greater freedom and happiness in life. You don't have to live each day as a struggle – talk to a therapist who uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to learn more about these life changing skills today.

CIO Applications Weekly Brief
Be first to read the latest tech news, Industry Leader's Insights, and CIO interviews of medium and large enterprises exclusively from CIO Applications
Thank you for Subscribing to CIO Applications Weekly Brief
The advent of cloud computing has changed the conventional notion of handling data, providing enterprises with an agile, efficient, and cost-effective way-out. IDC report has predicted that the annual investment in public cloud will grow by 21.9 percent and will become $227 billion by 2021. This growing reliance on cloud platform has begotten serious problems like data theft and data manipulation. Big houses can spend a huge amount, but small enterprises face challenges to address those cybersecurity threats effectively.
To reap the maximum benefit from the cloud platform, small businesses need to encourage collaboration. They should allow employees to have access to the cloud-based platforms and methods of communication from any place in order to increase their efficiency of rendering their jobs, and this collaboration will also be helpful to share ideas with co-workers. DropBox, Google's G-Suite, or Microsoft's 365 simplifies the process of file-sharing and help in complex projects.
It has been told earlier, for small enterprises security is the main hurdle. Microsoft spends $1 billion every year to research on and develops cybersecurity, but this enormous expenditure is almost impossible for the small houses. To deal with this issue, they need to exercise proper measures to minimize human errors which create open spaces for cybercriminals. Virtual private networks are cost-effective, fast, and can be fruitful to ensure security, but the low number of total networks is a real problem for it. So, the small enterprises have to search for a proper solution according to their convenience.
Before moving to the cloud, companies have to design their network keeping cloud in mind because the integration of cloud-based applications into the conventional network can hamper productivity. The most interesting aspect of the cloud platform is that it can be accessed easily. But, this accessibility can make this platform vulnerable and so, companies have to limit access according to their need.
It is essential for small enterprises to shift toward secure, affordable, efficient, and customized cloud platforms, and to do this, they have to gather proper information about different cloud services, such as IaaS solutions which cut short capital expenditure, PaaS solutions which provide business development tools and business intelligence, and SaaS solutions which are essential for invoicing and sales tracking.

522. Il giardino dei Finzi-Contini
The Garden of the Finzi-Continis
Directed by Vittorio de Sica
For some reason, I have been completely incapable of doing anything this week and it is getting to be quite the problem. Can I summon the energy to write this review? We shall see. Please, please. Don't call me a hero.
In late 1930s Italy, a wealthy Jewish family hosts tennis games at their estate, since recent anti-Semitic laws prohibit Jews from entering tennis clubs. One of the family friends, Giorgio, is in love with Micol, whose father owns the estate. Their very awkward kiss is pictured above. Sometimes Micol seems really interested in Giorgio and other times...well...she makes that face.
Not much happens in this film and you kind of can guess the ending as soon as the it starts. However, I kind of loved that about this movie. There is a shadow hanging over this film the entire time and I found that pretty fascinating. We always tend to idealize the past and this is a somewhat extreme example of this. Definitely worth a watch.
Interesting Facts:
Won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

The strange - indeed rather worrying - thing about this one is that I found it.. harmless.ReplyDelete
That really must be the wrong word.
For a film set against the background of impending horror and threat.. it hardly seems to foreshadow that.
Perhaps that was the point.. WE - the modern audience- know what is coming.. but we have hindsight.
The protagonists don't know. Oh sure, they know that things get worse day by day.. but they are almost 'minor inconveniences' ...
OK, before someone jumps on me for that.. What I mean is that 'not being allowed to play at the tennis club' is not really going to ruin anyones life. Sure, it shows the poisoned thinking going on... And we can see what it will come to mean...
To return to my track..
I feel that is the drive..it warns that we should notice 'little' things and stop 'not being let into the tennis club' becoming something else..
That was not very well put .. sorry.
Thanks Amanda..I appreciate the thought that what I was wanting to say actually came over...ReplyDelete
I liked this movie. It moved slowly but I think that was done on purpose.I think the film portrayed truths well. People were understandably upset about the changes and though a few could see what was coming, many did not understand.I don't think anyone could foresee the true horror ahead.ReplyDelete
Great review! It makes me want to see this film... When I am in the mood to be scared.ReplyDelete
It did move slowly but I am still glad that I saw it!ReplyDelete
This should not work but it does. Something about the mood and the cinematography just suck you in. The impending doom maybe.ReplyDelete

Study: Opioids don't help chronic pain patients
A recent study found that other drugs or treatments may be more helpful for non-cancer pain
By EMS1 Staff
ONTARIO, Canada — A recent study found that opioids are overused and are not effective when it comes to chronic pain.
Researchers from McMaster University in Ontario found that opioids don't work well for many types of non-cancer pain, according to a recently published study.
The study said other drugs and treatments, such as physical therapy and ice, may be more effective, but doctors simply raise the dosage of opioids when they fail to help the pain.
Medical groups support the use of opioids for pain associated with cancer, but doctors often prescribe the drugs for back pain, post-surgical pain and more.
"The effects of opioids on chronic pain are uncertain, whereas the harms found to be associated with prescription opioids include diversion, addiction, overdose, and death," researcher Jason Busse said.
The study said "opioids were associated with small improvements in pain, physical functioning and sleep quality; unimportant improvements in social functioning; and no improvements in emotional functioning" when compared with placebo.
"Compared with placebo, opioids were associated with increased vomiting, drowsiness, constipation, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, and pruritus (itching)," researchers wrote.

John Gerber gives away a lot of what he grows in his backyard garden.
As a mentor to future farmers, Gerber gives UMass students both a grounding in agriculture and a sense of purpose. As a gardener, he shares his fruits and vegetables as readily as he shares his knowledge.
"I do this for fun, and to share," he says. "It keeps me sane."
Take tomatoes. Go ahead, take some. The free tomatoes in the photo above sit on a stand in front of his Amherst home. They are the only indication of the extensive gardens behind it.
He has about 40 tomato plants there. This has been a very good year for tomatoes, with no late blight as in past years, so Gerber has plenty to share. He also skins and freezes them before making tomato sauce and canning it in November, when it's cooler. Betsy does something similar with raspberries.
There are three Asian pear trees in the Gerber back yard, and they are heavy-laden with fruit. He makes jam out of them, and stores some for later eating. But he also gives a lot of them away to his students, most of whom have never seen one. Asian pears are similar to apples but without the disease and insect problems that force most growers to spray nasty chemicals.
He devotes a large amount of space to gourds. His son Jeremy used to sell gourds to neighbors, and when he left home the demand continued. So Gerber still grows them and gives them away.
There's also broom corn, but it's not to make brooms as New Englanders used to. The tops get fed to the six hens, which produce at least three eggs a day, many of which are consumed in other households.
This has also been a great year for grapes, and on Saturday Gerber extracted four gallons of juice from them, prior to making jelly. He doesn't spray the vines, and this year there's been no disease. Some years, there are no grapes at all.
Gerber's garden also includes a kiwi arbor and a 30-foot-tall pawpaw tree. He also grows white eggplant, pumpkins, blueberries, and New Zealand spinach.
Gerber, who has a Ph.D in the physiology of vegetable crops, calls himself a lazy gardener. "I used to be a lot more fanatical," he says.
For new readers of this blog, here's a quick overview of more than 120 posts in 13 categories, including simple living, frugality, cooking, gardening, living without, and climate change.

"I'm On My Knees But I'm Not Praying": my latest short story published in Matrix Magazine
FAIR WARNING this is a rather racy story that deal with some full-on topics. For the record, I'm not trying to say anything about the political issues associated with the themes in this story, I'm just exploring an idea and seeing where it goes. This piece is more about complicated emotions and feelings that are in direct conflict with each other, rather than the politicizing of bodies.
Also, creative writing is rarely sensical haha.
You can read this piece in full online right now and it will also appear in print soon, and I will of course update you when that happens! Enjoy at your own discretion, my munchkins.
* * *
A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to perform some of my Spoken Word/Live Storytelling at The Spoke.*
The theme of this night was Heartbeats, so I figured I could speak for 5-10 minutes about that!
I was the first storyteller of the night and it went very well. People came up to me afterwards to hold my hand and tell me they enjoyed my lovely little story. It's so great connecting with people by just telling some of the fubar stories from my clusterfuck life, haha.
It was such a great night and I'm grateful to the organizers for asking me to participate. They recorded audio of the night so as soon as I have that, I will share it with you. It may also appear on their curated podcast soon.
Speaking of which, if you visit my Soundcloud, you can hear in their entirety some of the audio from my previous Spoken Word performances. I also have on there an Ambient Playlist that I've specially curated that is becoming quite popular on there. It's a great playlist for writing and doing creative endeavours.
Don't forget to check out Christine Estima dot com for more of my published works that you can read in full, and also all of the media attention and press my work has garnered!

Jessica Alba Is Not Ashamed of Being Latin
The actress said she would never deny her Mexican roots and added that everything was made up by a journalist
Actress Jessica Alba, who is in Mexico promoting the film Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, denied that she is ashamed of her Hispanic roots, as was been reported in various media outlets in the past few days. She blamed a journalist for saying this to make her look bad.
"It was all gossip," said Alba, who appeared a bit dismayed at finding out what a sensationalist publication had started. "If there's something I would never be ashamed of, its my Latin roots," she added at a press conference in Mexico City.
The 26-year old actress said it's not the first time she's the victim of gossip, but in this case, it really bothered her because the rumor came from blogger Pérez Hilton, with whom she does not have a good relationship.
"This gentleman likes to say lies about me because I didn't want to take a picture with him once," she said.
Jessica also spoke to the Mexican press about the values that were taught to her at home when she was a little girl.
"I was brought up under Latin influences. At home, my grandfather plays the guitar and my grandmother sings and dances. I couldn't deny my roots because the first one to kill me would me my grandmother," she said.She also added that her values, religious as well as those pertaining to family, are very much Mexican-influenced.

|Understanding the development of young children in Singapore : insights from the analysis of Singapore Health Booklet items from the IED-III norming sample
|Kan, Delia Dang Dang
|DRNTU::Social sciences
|Issue Date:
|Purpose: Norms stated in the Singapore Health Booklet were established almost 30 years ago using Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) Singapore. Thus this study aimed to find out 90th percentile age norms (PAN) of developmental milestones from the Booklet matched to items in Brigance Inventory of Early Development (IED) III of the children of today, and investigate possible reasons for differences observed. Methods: IED III was administered to 1123 children aged between 2 to 6 years 11 months. Items tested on IED were then matched to items in 2014 Health Booklet. Logistic regression analyses and paired T-tests (P<0.1) were carried out. Results: 28 items were matched. 70% of 90th PAN derived from the sample were higher than Health Booklet 90th PAN. Overall, differences were statistically significant (0.000), but statistical significance of differences for individual items could not be determined. Sample demographics, items procedures and predictor variables were also analysed to account for differences observed in PAN. Conclusion: 90th PAN of developmental milestones were derived. However, it was inconclusive on whether differences found were a cause for concern with regards to changes in children development over the years. Follow up studies would be beneficial to reach a more informed conclusion.

**The retinol range now in the UAE**
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, January 05, 2020: New Year, exciting new launches! Skin Republic has done it again and answered our prayers with its range of three new masks.
"As the world's number one mask brand, we are constantly innovating combining the latest advances in skin care technology with sought-after ingredients. These are three of our most exciting new product launches this year and focus on providing instant as well as long-last skin benefits", says Samantha Wilson, Director of Skin Republic.
Retinol, the new darling of skin care. The multi-masking supremo targets aging, acne and pigmentation. From teenage to mature skin, retinol encourages cell turnover helping to prevent acne scarring and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. "If you are a two birds, one stone kind of a girl then retinol is for you, it's the ultimate multi-tasking skin care ingredient", says Wilson. Skin Republic have developed two products with retinol as the primary ingredient.
The Retinol Hydrogel Face Mask (AED 33) is super-charged with retinol to help support skin's natural collagen levels reduce wrinkles and improve skin's elasticity. The soft-gel mask is instantly cooling upon application helping to calm redness and sensitivity. The formulation is enriched with radiance-boosting peony, jojoba and hyaluronic acid to replenish lost moisture for luminous and glowing skin.
Even though retinol has long been hailed a skincare superhero ingredient, there are still a few popular myths that needs debunking. It's a common misperception that retinol can't be used under the eyes. However, this super star ingredient can and should be used everywhere - especially under the eyes, where we often see the first signs of aging. The Retinol Hydrogel Under Eye Patches (AED 33) are designed to closely fit the delicate under eye area, allowing for an intense and targeted treatment. Retinol also works wonders at reducing dark circles and discolouration under the eyes. Our top tip? Pop these on before a night out for makeup that lasts all night long. They're great at catching eye shadow fallout too!
In a world where waiting more than a second for an Instagram photo to load can cause you to give up on your feed altogether it's a wonder we all still settle for beauty products that promise results in four to six weeks. Yes, we expect to put a bit more time and effort into our skin than we do social media, but that doesn't mean instant effects are out of the question. "This was one of the reasons we developed the Skin Republic Prime + Refine 3 Minute Primer Face Mask (AED30). We wanted to bridge the gap between long-term skin care benefits and instant results." says Wilson.
Think of this mask as your fave Instagram filter, but IRL. The Prime + Refine 3 Minute Primer Face Mask blurs imperfections and pores, hydrates and smoothes, providing the perfect canvas for makeup application. Containing cutting-edge hydro-blur technology, this mask does to your face what good lingerie does for your figure. It smoothes, flatters and conceals so that everything you put on looks immediately better.
All this is infused in a sheet mask which, as we all know, is far superior at delivering skincare ingredients than traditional creams. It also stops any dirt and bacteria from being passed onto your skin, helping to prevent breakouts. In addition, the formulation includes antioxidant-rich pomegranate which protects the skin, as well as vitamin E and chamomile which hydrate and visibly plump it. Instant gratification, tick. Long-term skincare benefits, tick.
Expert Tip
For flawless makeup that lasts all night long, apply the Skin Republic Hydrogel Face Mask followed by the Prime + Refine 3 Minute Primer mask and the Retinol Hydrogel Under Eye Patches.
All Skin Republic Masks are dermatologist tested and are not tested on animals. Skin Republic masks have a three-year shelf life and the Retinol range is available at Carrefour and Lifestyle stores in the UAE.

Solar activity to blame for jellyfish surge, expert says, as warming waters 'rev up' metabolism
A researcher has poured water on "emotive" claims that warming seas have spawned an abundance of jellyfish, and instead pointed the finger at a correlation with sunspot activity.
Key points:
- Researcher says solar cycles correlate with jellyfish numbers
- Warming waters play a part in stimulating growth
- Expert says no definitive proof that tropical stingers are moving south
- Relocated jellyfish could be from ballast water
Stings by the deadly Irukandji jellyfish have more than doubled the 10-year average in Queensland, while tens of thousands of bluebottle stings have been reported from Queensland to New South Wales since December.
Marine science professor Kylie Pitt from Griffith University is seeking to publish a research paper connecting jellyfish numbers to the 22-year cycle of solar sunspot activity and subsequent changes in magnetic fields.
Pulling together worldwide datasets of jellyfish that go back decades, she said her team found the creatures would increase in abundance for 10 years, then decrease, then start again in what was found to be a 22-year cycle.
"Sunspot activity occurs on an 11-year cycle, but at the end of every 11th year the polarity of the sun changes, so the magnetic field changes."
Sunspots affecting ocean productivity
Some scientists believe there is a worldwide increase in jellyfish numbers due to warming waters and pollution and that tropical stingers could be pushing further south.
"There's been a lot of emotive commentary about jellyfish for a long time, even in the scientific community, with people making claims that jellies under anthropogenic stress are going to take over the oceans and all that sort of stuff," Professor Pitt said.
But her team believed jellyfish numbers increased because solar cycles could affect wind changes, which "turned over nutrients and stimulated the growth of phytoplankton" and subsequently ocean food productivity.
She said there was other biological phenomena correlated to sunspot cycles, such as whale beachings.
"By modelling the data we've made some predictions for what we think the global jellyfish populations are going to do over the next few years.
"We need to wait and see if that data starts rolling in and our predictions are supported.
Professor Pitt's study found a "really small signal" that there was an overall increase in jellyfish numbers irrespective of the 22-year cycle but not one that was "statistically significant".
"It's absolutely not a given that warmer water causes more jellyfish and there's nowhere near enough data to say that," she said.
"Some of my colleagues are quite sure that it's happening but the data for it isn't very strong."
Warming waters 'rev up' jellyfish
Dr Lisa-ann Gershwin, director of Australian Marine Stinger Advisory Services, said all the research she had seen pointed to jellyfish being stimulated by warming water.
"Warming water actually revs up their metabolism so they grow faster and they eat more," she said.
"They reproduce more and faster and they live longer so they keep doing more of it."
Dr Gershwin said jellyfish were further advantaged because warmer water held less dissolved oxygen and, unlike crustaceans and fish, they could survive without breathing because they stored oxygen in their jelly.
She suggested that under climate change scenarios, predators and competitors could die off as water warmed.
This would leave "more food for jellyfish and less opportunities to be someone else's food", and that they would be "stimulated by the warming water to grow into super-abundances".
"We are heading towards a more gelatinous future," she said.
No proof of warm water migration
But Dr Gershwin said there was no evidence that Irukandji numbers had increased or that tropical stingers were moving further south.
"My guess is Irukandji will move south when their habitat moves south, so if you want to get an idea of that speed, try to imagine a thought experiment about the Great Barrier Reef heading south," she said.
"That's going to be pretty slow."
She said box jellyfish were quite confined to the tropics and, despite the "occasional adventurous one here and there", there had been no hint of migration.
Dr Gershwin pointed out, too, that bluebottles typically existed in massive numbers off the coast and blew ashore "or wherever the wind goes" due to their sails, and there was nothing abnormal about the recent spate of stings.
She had, however, recently found other jellyfish that migrated to southern waters, including the tropical copula sivickisi that was found near Adelaide, Hobart and in Bass Strait.
"What's a tropical species doing in these waters? I don't know, but it's not particularly stingy," Dr Gershwin said.
She also found staurophora falklandica near Kangaroo Island and Tasmania, a disc-shaped species that normally lives in waters surrounding the Falkland Islands off South America.
"But these jellyfish may have relocated due to ballast water and it might not have been warming relocation. We just don't know."
Some will thrive, some will die
Professor Pitt agreed some jellyfish species would respond positively to warming, acidification, nitrification and "all those stresses we're putting on the ocean", but pointed out a lot of others faced extinction.
"It's the same as mammals: you've got all these rats which thrive with humans, and then you've got animals like bilbies which we've just about sent extinct."
She added that before anyone could determine whether Irukandji was migrating south, researchers needed to establish their southern boundary.
They were hard to catch, she said, because they were "patchy, small and transparent", and if somebody was stung, the symptoms of Irukandji syndrome did not kick in for half an hour, making it hard to definitely blame the species.
Professor Pitt said researchers were planning to use cutting-edge DNA water-testing technology to better determine Irukandji habitats.

Already winning many titles at club level with Barcelona, Lionel Messi is still very determined and desperate in winning the world cup for Argentina, as it's personal challenge for him.
Messi stated that getting his hands on the world cup is simply a dream, not just for him but also his teammates in Albiceleste along with the country itself.
The Barcelona star even went on saying that he wouldn't even mind swapping a title with El Barca for an international glory with Argentina as winning something for his national team will be a unique experience for him.
Notably, Messi doesn't mean that he won't want to win again at club level, but it's just been difficult for him to get trophies at international competition, so it's understandable that he is very keen on winning something for Albiceleste.
Certainly for him and his teammates, this upcoming World Cup in Russia will be a target they strongly aimed, although it will be far from easy, considering there's several other top national sides that they must be competing with.
Nevertheless, before aiming to high, Messi warned his teammates that they must first focus on advancing from their group as it can be a very complicated situation for them.
Being drawn with Iceland, Croatia along with Nigeria, the five time Ballon d'Or winner stated that it won't be an easy ride at all for his national side.
Messi urged his team to have the right mindset and attitude, not trying to think that they are already the best team out there before even winning any games.

Picture Abhi Baki Hain
As a salute to the Mumbai's last surviving single screen theatres, we relish the simple and delicious snacks sold at their counters
The posters are peeling, the walls are leaking and the curtains may come undone. The counters are half-empty, the food aplenty, but we're all flocking to over-priced nachos anyway. Welcome to this stupid world.
City historian Deepak Rao is as unhappy as us. "We'd make sure to carry extra pocket money for the chicken rolls at Old Excelsior when we went to watch films as college students," he reminisces, adding, "Watching movies used to be an experience." And we attempted to relive it.
As Eros cinema remains shut behind large doors and Regal, a glittering hoarding in Colaba's iconic skyline, sits on the cusp of an uncertain future, we take a look at the humble and wholesome fare sold at near abandoned food counters of the city's single-screen theatres, before they disappear like the brightness from the Diwali lights you forgot to take down.
Hotel filmistan
In 1992, when Khuda Gawah, a Bachchan-starrer Bollywood drama, premiered in the now-ageing Maratha Mandir at Mumbai Central, actor Poonam Dhillon had brought along a box of pedhas. The staff ate it up when Dhillon wasn't looking and she let it go with a laugh. Umar Rasool Sunasra, 52, food and beverage manager at the theatre, tells us many stories while looking back at his 35 years of service.
"Dilip Kumar was also here. I served him tea," he recalls. Incidentally, the film's co-producer, Manoj Desai, is also the executive director of the movie hall. The canteen is as relevant to their patrons as the box office. And their in-house vegetable sandwich (R20), a humble snack made with bread, tomato, cucumber and green chutney continues to be a favourite. Young moviegoers who are there to watch Rajnikant and Akshay Kumar's new offering, 2.0, flock to the counter for hot and crispy samosa (R30), chips and sandwiches.

Popular among Mumbaikars for screening a daily show of the 1995 blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge even today, the cinema hall continues to serve wafers at R10. "If the ticket is R20, the food has to be cheaper, right?" he reasons. And if you ask him what he thinks of multiplex fare, he shakes his head disapprovingly. "Galat baat hai. Nuksaan na humara na customer ka hona chahiye. Tab hi toh woh laut ke ayenge," he says even as he reminisces the golden days of packed shows and surging sales.

En route Pune
Subhash Bhatia, F&B manager at Chitra Cinema on Ambedkar Road, remembers Pune-bound city slickers stopping by to hoard affordable-but-hygienic wafers, sandwiches, and softies, which were a hit during summers in the '50s and '60s, when air-conditioned cars were still a distant dream. Located in a prime location, they still get a decent footfall, but have had to add new snacks like burgers.
The mela-like popcorn machines are a new addition and they have brought on board a different distributor for sandwiches, who serves variants like Russian salad and cheese chutney (R80 each). "The problem is, if it isn't a good film that's playing, customers don't show up, but with a multiplex, they can simply watch another film. Our generation was happy with very little. It's not the same anymore," he shares.

A forgotten landmark
Ganpati Eesan has been working as the F&B manager at Regal Cinema's counter for 15 years. In a little corner behind the counter, he has set-up a table where he makes the theatre's popular sandwiches. "Back in the day, customers would purchase a ticket only to try the veg exotic sandwich [capsicum, tomato, cucumber and mayo].
Ganpati Eesan
We discontinued it three years ago because the ingredients became costlier but we couldn't hike our prices." Now, they serve only cheese and chutney sandwiches (R70). Looking back at some of the weirdest moments from his time behind the counter, Eesan recalls, "Once a foreigner brought urchins inside for a movie and raided our counter. We thought it was sweet, but didn't know how to respond." As the PVRs and Cinepolises of the world took over, Regal relegated to the background, forgotten in all its vintage Art Deco splendour.

A galaxy for cinephiles
Yahan sab gareeb log aatein hai, madam," Babu Shaikh, food counter manager at Bandra's Gaiety-Galaxy Complex points out, speaking about why they continue to sell affordable eats, despite a decline in footfall. Their samosa, sourced from Sion's popular street food joint Guru Kripa (who, along with A1, caters to seven single-screens including the ones mentioned here), were once selling like hot cakes. Now, Babu says, "It's hard to sell even 50."
Babu Sheikh
He thinks allowing patrons to bring their own food has lent itself considerably to the fall in sales. Even so, he stands by keeping costs low. "Poor people should have a place they can go to, to enjoy films as well," he argues. At one end of the movie hall's expansive cafeteria, an ice cream counter continues to sell Pastonji's chocolate ice cream (R30) served in old-school wafer cones.

Henna is a shrub-like plant found throughout the Mediterranean region that was
commonly used by the ancient Egyptians to color hair and to dye fabrics and
leather. Today, henna is a popular alternative to harsh, chemical-based hair
Depending on your natural color, chestnut henna leaf powder will produce a
warm to rich brown on light to dark blonde hair and add warm highlights to
darker shades.
Not for culinary use.
coming soon
Henna is a natural alternative to chemical dyes for coloring the hair.
It is obtained from the leaf of a small tree native to Asia, Africa, New
Zealand and Australia. Color enhancement is owing to a chemical in the
leaf called hennatannic acid, a protein that coats hair shafts to
deposit a semi-permanent color that eventually fades with washing.
To effect different shades, it is necessary to blend henna with other
botanicals or otherwise the result would be—depending on starting hair
color—orange to red or burgundy. Chestnut henna is formulated to
consist of 75% Lawsonia inermis and small amounts of (in order of
concentration) indigo, Centaurea, rhubarb, lichen and litmus.

Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai's populist grievance addresser mechanism 'Hello Sarkar' (Hello Government!) has helped boost the revenue mobilisation.
From the complaints received to the 'Hello Sarkar', the Finance Ministry has been able to benefit, said spokesperson of the ministry Rajan Khanal. "We received a call asking for taxing various businesses including house rents," he said, adding that the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) has — in a case — fixed and received tax too. However, he did not elaborate on the business that has been taxed due to the complaint.
Prime Minister Bhattarai had formed a mechanism 'Hello Sarkar' on November 5 to respond to public grievances. He had inaugurated the control room where anyone facing hassles may call at anytime at 1111 or lodge complaints via fax 1100 or e-mail email@example.com or SMS 1111 or use www.opmsm.gov.np for service.
The control room, in the beginning, was flooded by the complaints but slowly faded out as it became redundant and the government ministries did not give it a ear.
"However, the Finance Ministry is exception, it's not only the callers, but the ministry has also got benefitted as the ministry could also get feedback of its programmes and policy apart from helping boost the revenue mobilisation and vigilance," according to finance secretary Krishna Hari Baskot.
Of the total 590 complaints received till yesterday related to the Finance Ministry, it has addressed some 53 per cent, Khanal informed, adding that the complaints have been divided into three — common, priority and high priority — categories.
The high priority complaints get first priority followed by the priority complaints and common ones. "Of the total 590 complaints, some 15 were under high priority, 236 under priority and more than half 339 were related to common problems like delay in work, reinstatement of bank branches and frauds. "Some people even complained the Prime Minister of the inefficiency of the Finance Ministry," he added. "Unity — the ponzy scheme that cheated thousands of people of their hard earned money — topped the complaints list followed by queries about Youth Self-Employment programme," according to Khanal. "Of the total, some 111 complaints were related to banks and financial institutions whereas some 90 complaints were related to revenue."

Here is my list of lesson plans for the 8 must-have skills for 21st Century learners. Hope you all enjoy!
This lesson plans help students identify the traits that are important in leaders and which ones are the most effective. The sample questions also help students identify their own leadership qualities.
Cable Impacts brings you InCtrl, a series of free standards-based lessons, originally developed by Cable in the Classroom, that teach key digital citizenship concepts. These lessons, for students in grades 4-8,
are designed to engage students through inquiry-based activities, and collaborative
and creative opportunities.
This lesson will help students develop better research skills and determine which sources of information are reliable and trust-worthy.
Teacher-Submitted Lesson: This simple, fun partner activity develops students' communication skills. It helps students understand the importance of team work as well as listening to each other.
This is a resource with many different ideas for lessons on emotional intelligence. I really liked the "High Five" activity on page 12 because it makes the students look for the strengths in each other. By focusing on each others' strengths instead of weaknesses, it helps them work together better and resolve conflicts. I think this is an ideal activity to do before a group activity.
In this activity, learners create goals and mission statements for their businesses and define the services they will provide. This activity will allow students to think creatively and determine what kinds of needs they want to meet and which goals they would like to achieve. They will learn to collaborate together as a group and create a business project starting from a basic idea.
Students learn what is meant by Fairtrade. They identify various Fairtrade products and consider the advantages of operating within a Fairtrade partnership. They will have a better understanding of where their food and products come from and how the things they buy have an impact on the world.
This lesson has students create a flow chart to consider the different outcomes when making decisions. It will also teach them to analyze their decisions and understand why they did or did not work. Students will also have a better understanding of how to devise a solution to better solve their problems.
Teamwork and communication activities for students are challenging to teach in the classroom. This activity will force students to compromise and come to an agreement by the end of the activity. They will also be forced to listen to others' ideas and suggestions and make conclusions based on the ideas of the other students.

Autumn colors and organic patterns give this lovely Sappho Table Lamp a bright, rich depth that seems like an homage to the harvest. Highlighted with sculpted-flower jewels and ruby berries, it would be a wonderful solution for any dark space. This lamp takes two 60-watt bulbs.
The bases and supports for Chloe lamps consist of resin, resin/art glass combinations, or metal/resin combinations. Different finishes complete each lamp, giving them the best combined look the artisans can produce. All of the Chloe shades are made of Tiffany art glass and built with the traditional copper foil technique. Though tapping on the glass may give a plastic-sounding noise, that is actually the protective coating required to strengthen the glass, thus providing a more durable lamp.
21.5"H x 16"W x 16"D
No options available for this lamp.

Having written about an encaustic artist pouring out grief yesterday, I'd like to introduce you to a very different artist using the same media. I've known Carey Corea for more than twenty years. He is a man of great presence but few words. That fits with his work, which is also often completely non-narrative. That by no means should be taken to mean that it is content-free.
Non-representational painters seem to be able to conjure up sturm und drang without too much difficulty. Realism allows artists to use symbols and memories to elicit responses. Abused, both can be cheap tricks. To paint a measured, serene, evocative and beautiful abstraction with no props is very difficult, and it can teach the realist painter a lot about truth-telling in art.
Corea's work is characterized, above all, by an evenness of temperament. That's a reflection of the artist himself. "I've come to view my paintings as meditations or conversations centered on the interplay between substance and spirit," he wrote.
As with Jules Olitsky's Mitt Paintings, the material is doing the heavy lifting here, but in Corea's work there is content beyond the surface. It is, in fact, too deep to have a surface narrative applied to it.
His painting is characterized by technical virtuosity, meticulousness and absolute control. That may be the result of a lifetime career in the world of graphic design, but I think it also represents his character.
Our age denigrates the importance of beauty in art, but it is an important tool to distract us from an ugly world.

Creek Hockey started their playoff run this past weekend with an opening game against Pine Creek on Friday night. That game ended in a 6-2 win for Creek and moved them on to the second round of the playoffs against Lewis Palmer, the number two ranked team from the Peak Conference. Lewis Palmer scored the first goal in the first period, but Creek came back to tie it before period's end, which was also the case in the second period. The team went in to the third tied 2-2. In the third Creek scored three unanswered goals with the goal to seal the deal coming just 10 second in to a power play with 12:00 minutes gone in the third. Lewis Palmer added a goal with time winding down in the third, but even though they our shot the Bruins, Creek skated away with the win thanks to a tremendous team effort!
Creek Head Coach Jeff Mielnicki said of his team's effort this weekend "This team has put in the time and effort and has earned every inch of where we are today. The players are playing for each other. I keep saying who is it going to be today! Nothing to fear. Nothing to lose. Compete as one unit." He went on to say "I am very proud of this group of young men. More importantly they are proud of each other."
In the other second round games the Foothills Conference dominated, with defending State Champions Ralston Valley defeating Machebeuf, Monarch taking down Columbine, and finally Regis getting past the number one seed from the Peak conference Mountain Vista. That means the Frozen Four will be made up of the top four teams from the Foothills Conference, with Creek slated to take on number one seed Ralston Valley in the Frozen Four semi-finals.
