One of the most haunted places in the world has lost one of its beloved employees this week. Lighting LeRoy worked at the Birdcage Theatre for nearly two decades. He was shot in killed in the street yesterday afternoon the Arizona Daily Star reported today.
LeRoy Colomy was the manager of the Birdcage Theatre in Tombstone, Arizona. He was featured on "Ghost Adventures" in 2009 when Zak Bagans and the Ghost Adventures Crew conducted a paranormal investigation of the location.
According to a spokesman from the Cochise County Sheriff Department, Colomy was confronted by Barry Chappell just after 1 pm yesterday. The two men had an argument outside on Safford Street. Chappell pulled out a hand gun and allegedly shot Colomy. Colomy was shot multiple times and died in the street.
Chappell eventually went into a business on Allen Street and informed the clerk on duty that he had just shot someone and to call the police. The clerk called 911 and Chappell was arrested by the Tombstone Marshall outside on Allen Street in front of the Birdcage Theatre.
"Everybody in Tombstone loved him. Never heard anything bad said about him. They might say something bad about other people but I never heard anything bad said about LeRoy. He was just a likable person," Birdcage owner William Hunley said.
It is uncertain what the argument the two men had was about. Everyone in the tourist town loved LeRoy and he was considered a friend to everyone in town.
"Couldn't comment on it because, I don't know. I don't know if even LeRoy knew," Hunley said.
Chappell is currently in the Cochise County Jail with charges of first degree murder. Colomy's friends and family have not yet announced funeral services.

Inspired by Project Drawdown, we are excited to support women-led enterprises in the Philippines, where we source an essential ingredient, organic coconut. "Due to existing inequalities, women and girls are disproportionately vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, from disease to natural disaster. Enhancing the well-being of women and girls is pivotal to addressing climate change." — Drawdown by Paul Hawken
The goal of this project is to improve women's lives and the lives of their families by supporting their small businesses. Your funds will help them make and sell products such as charcoal from coconut shell, vinegar from coconut water, coco peat, and organic fertilizer. Join us in empowering women in their communities.
Coconut farming is a primary industry in the province of Misamis Oriental where most of our farmers/partners are located. This project will support coconut-based women-led enterprises with the goal of improving their lives by making and selling value-added products from coconuts and secondary crops. These products include charcoal from coconut shell, vinegar from coconut water, coco peat, organic fertilizer and coco-coir from husks, vegetables and processed snack food and drinks, among others.

I love Christmas. It is my absolute most favorite time of the year! So, I decided to do something fun on my blog to celebrate! It's a new series called Fa-La-La Fridays. Every Friday from now until the end of the year, I will share some of my favorite Christmas traditions, recipes, gift ideas, songs and more! I guess it will kind of be like the Super Summer Saturdays series that I had going all summer, but it will be cooler because it's Christmas!
Today I'll share one of my favorite traditions with you.
You may remember reading about my little cousins and the fun times we had together when my college hosted Sibs' Weekend last February. You may have realized that I really, really like doing fun things with these two cute
We started this when they were quite small. It started as just an afternoon spent together making Christmas cookies and watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas (our favorite!!).
The next year, we made it a sleepover. More time for crafts, games and a few additional movies.
Then we started tacking several hours onto both the beginning and end of the sleepover, making it practially two full days. We made fun crafts, like fun holiday pillows. For the pillows, we used two pieces of fleece and put them on each side of a plain white 12x12 pillow. Then they used the cut and tie method that you often see people use to make blankets. They tied their fleece all around the pillow, and they turned out so so so cute!
We also always included a trip to Burger King. (If you read the Sib's Weekend post you'll know that we went there that weekend too. We really like Burger King!) After our lunch, we went to Dollar Tree (everything's a buck) so that the girls could pick out gifts for parents, friends and siblings. The things that they purchase always bring a smile to my face. The very first year we did this, Riley, just 3 at the time, picked out a Disney Barbie for her mama and a red bowl for grandma. As they've gotten older, they really, really think about the recipients interests and pick out the most thoughtful gifts that they know will be a hit.
It makes me sad to say that my freshman year of college (Christmas 09), the party did not happen. I was just so ridiculously overwhelmed with the new life chapter that I didn't have time to plan anything. I felt so awful.
Last year, I was still pretty busy, especially since Ihad taken a new job that took up a considerable abount of my free time. But I still wanted to do something for them. I knew it had to be easy to plan (for me) and more grown up than the past parties (for them).
I decided on a lunch at Applebees. My best friend was working in a nursing home at the time, and already knew that she would be working the morning shift on Christmas Day. I decided to use that as an opportunity to bring a smile to someone's face, plan a fun craft for the girls and teach them about giving as well. We decorated cards for the residents. I asked my friend how many we would need and counted out an index card for each person. Then I gave the girls crayons and Christmas stickers and let them go to town. They worked on these while we were waiting for our food. I told them how some of the residents don't get a lot of visitors, and my little empathetic sweethearts worked so hard to make them smile. I gave the cards to my friend and she delivered them on Christmas morning. She said they brought lots of smiles! :)
I'm not sure what our get together will entail this year, but I'm sure it will be fun!
Well, that's my favorite tradition! I'm a tradition girl, for sure. I can't wait to start some traditions with my own babies someday. I already know that I want do do Elf on the Shelf with them. I also want to give them new matching pajamas on Christmas Eve.
What are your family's favorite Christmas traditions? Stay tuned each Friday this month for more fun traditions, recipes, activities and more! Merry Christmas!

The Unrepentant Son
March 26, 2010
The Unrepentant Son
There was once an elderly man who had raised two sons and had worked diligently his whole life. Now, the younger of the two sons was impetuous by nature and said to his father, "I do not want to wait for my inheritance. Give me my share now."
His father reluctantly complied. A few days later, the younger son packed his bags and departed from the home. Over the next few years, he squandered the money that he had been given, leading a life of worldly pleasure. However, his money soon ran out, and the young son found himself with friends, food or shelter. He eventually found a job feeding pigs and was so poor that he had to supplement his diet with the scraps used to feed the animals.
This was no life for the youn man, so he thought to himself, I have had a good time in the last few years, but perhaps I should now return to my father's home. For there it is warm, and while he will be angry, he may take pity on me and let me work as a hired hand. And so he began the return journey.
But, while he was still a long way off, his father saw him. Overcome with joy, he ran to his lost son and embraced him. The father then said to his servants, "Bring the best robe that I own, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, but now has been found." That evening there was a great celebration.
Later that night, after the party, while he was alone, the younger son wept with sorrow and repented for the life he had led.
This parable is the second in the series that takes a look at the idea of the prodigal, but this time it sticks fairly close to the story that Jesus told. A couple of thoughts, then, to flesh that out:
I found at the Drops Like Stars event a few weeks ago how transgressive this story is. The son asking for his inheritance would have had just about the same effect then as it would have today. It is, essentially, saying to the parent, "You are worth nothing more to me than the money I'll get when you're dead. In fact, I wish you were dead." The story is so familiar that the shock of this request is often lost on us, though. In Jesus' telling, this story has no resolution. In fact, the story switches perspectives abruptly from the Prodigal to the Faithful son. That's one of the strengths of the parable, really. There's unresolved tension, and most people can see themselves in everyone in the story.
This telling of the story is unconcerned with the reaction of the Faithful son, though. Instead it is most interested in the space that the father's reaction has created. The reaction is different than we'd expect; it is forgiveness without apology. The repentance comes afterward, and it is precisely because the forgiveness was extended first with no condition. We don't generally operate in that way, and I wonder if that damages our ability to truly forgive and to truly apologize and repent. In this case the father requires no penance, whereas our forgiveness usually comes with strings attached. But the unconditionality of the forgiveness has opened up space for the son to repent in a real way.
There is no economy here; no horse trading. There is only love, a counterintuitive force that is able to change a person.

As always you continue to amaze me with your insights to these parables. It must be a genetic thing.

Ich brauche ein paar Fallschirm Hose!
In World War Two, we fought three main enemies: The Germans, The Italians and the French. I mean The Japanese, not the French. The French were on our side. In fact, the French started a new business of selling used military weapons shortly after the Germans conquered them. Their slogan was, "French guns! Cheap! Never fired and only dropped once!"
Ok....I'm kidding about the French. They have a bad reputation for surrendering, but they are actually very good soldiers. Don't forget, Napoleon and the French army conquered like, all of Europe and a third of Russia. Not to mention North Africa. And, if it weren't for the French, America wouldn't exist as a country free of British rule.
So, sorry France. I was joking.
But there are a couple of misconceptions over who our enemies and who our allies were.
Take the French. While the French that escaped the mainland with the British Expeditionary Force during the evacuations at Dunkirk were fully committed to defeating the Germans, those that were left behind, not so much. These are known as Vichy French, after the occupation government that ruled from Vichy. In their defense, it was a 'go along with us or die' type situation for them, but when it came time to invade Algiers and Morocco, the remnants of the French navy were harbored there. And make no mistake, even though the ships were turned over to the Germans, they were still controlled by the Vichy government and manned by French sailors.
As the allies, led by Eisenhower, came close, he declared that if the French wanted a fight, they would have to fire first.
They did.
Allied naval vessels fired back and allied air forces bombed the ships. The outcome was fairly predictable. The French lost. The allies had a foothold. But, for the next few days, the French fought the allies as they advanced through French Morocco. Their planes bombed the allies and their infantry did their best to stop the allies.
So, even though France was an ally, we fought the French.
But, the main protagonist in Europe was Germany. The Nazis. Except, most German soldiers weren't Nazis. Yes, they all had to take a pledge to Hitler, but for most of them, it was lip service. Just like it was for a lot of German civilians. That's not to say there weren't any Nazis in the army. There were plenty. But they tended to volunteer for the SS. The bulk of the German army fought because they were ordered to. And the Gestapo made sure you did what you were ordered to. (a good example is Erwin Romell. He was only connected to the failed assassination of Hitler in that he had heard a few people talk about it. And, although he was Germanys best general, he was forced to take poison because of it)
But, even members of the regular army that might have once been supporters of the Nazis, by 1945 had had enough. They knew they were beat. And, they didn't understand why they were fighting the Americans and British when it made much more sense to just get out of their way and let them take Berlin to keep it out of Russian hands.
But, Hitler and his Nazis were a fanatical bunch. Finally, at the end of April 1945, Hitler saved the allies the cost of some rope and killed himself.
Five days after Hitlers suicide, a small force of Americans liberated a castle in Austria called Schloss Itter, in the Tyrol region. It was serving as a prison to high level French prisoners, including a couple of ex prime ministers. Three tanks is all the Americans showed up with.
Shortly after the Americans captured it, (no fighting. The Germans just opened the gates for them and gave up), the 17th Waffen SS Panzer Grenadier Division showed up to take it back and execute the prisoners.
The Americans thought they were done for. Except, the German soldiers who had surrendered, picked up their weapons again and manned their fighting positions. They refused to fight the Americans, but here they were fighting against fellow Germans. It seems the average German soldier hated the Nazis as much as the Americans by this time, and were willing to die to stop the Nazis. The commander of the German soldiers died in the battle and is honored to this day in Austria as a leader amongst the anti-Nazis.
This battle marked the only time Americans fought alongside the Germans in WWII. It also marks the only time in history that Americans have defended a mid-evil castle against a hostile enemy. (I highly recommend reading the book, 'The Last Battle' by Stephen Harding. It goes into great detail about this American/German alliance. It's truly a good story. And 100% true)
So, you don't always know who your enemy is, do you?
Hmm. Longer post than I thought it would be.
Aw, what the hell. You guys have been good. You deserve to hear about the absolute oddest battle ever.
In 623, the Chinese commander Chai Shao had the daunting task of fighting the invading Huns. Anyone who has heard of the Huns know, they were basically unstoppable.
Until they met Chai Shao, that is.
Chai Shao and his men were sorely outnumbered. Defeat looked to be inevitable. And the Huns didn't take prisoners. Shao had only one option. He had to attack the Huns from behind. But how to keep them from noticing?
Shao, in a clear stroke of genius, left a small force facing the Huns. He then had a few, (actual number not known), women walk over to a small hill not too far from the Huns. They then stripped down to almost nothing and "performed curious and obscene dances and gestures while singing lewd songs". The Huns stood around and watched.
And, while they watched, Chai Shao moved the bulk of his forces and attacked from behind. By the time the Huns up front realized what was going on, it was too late. The Huns were routed.
By scantily clad women.
Of course, there's always the story of the Austrian Emperor, Joseph II. He decided he was going to rid the world of the Turks. So, he led his army of 170,000 into Transylvania. And promptly lost 33,000 of them to malaria. He heard the Turkish Grand Vizier was traveling close by, so he took the rest of his army and headed off to meet him. One night, some of his troops bought ale and wine from the locals. The officers heard about it and confiscated the booze and punished the soldiers. The other soldiers took offense to that. So, to get ri of the officers, they started hollering about how the Turks were attacking. The officers left, and the soldiers patted themselves on the back. Except, the officers only ran as far as the main bulk of the army. They then organized them into an attack. It was, needless to say, a confused battle.
The next morning, Joseph II realized he had another 10,000 dead soldiers, bringing his dead totals up to 43,000. And he still hadn't seen a single Turk.
Hey Joe.....where you going with that gun in your hand?

Here's the truth: using a HIPAA compliance manual for your compliance program is like using Windows 96 computers to run your practice.
HIPAA compliance manuals were the first iteration of the HIPAA compliance program 20 years ago when HIPAA was first enacted. For their time, compliance manuals did a fine job. However, HIPAA has undergone drastic additions and revisions in the past two decades, and you need a modern solution to truly protect your practice.
New Rules have been added and entirely new segments of the healthcare market are now required to be HIPAA compliant. To effectively use a HIPAA compliance manual to operate your organization's HIPAA compliance program today, you'd need a binder that stretched thousands of pages (and probably resembled something more like a filing cabinet…).
Changes to HIPAA Compliance
HIPAA rules and regulations have undergone significant changes since 1996. The most significant changes were in the form of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, the Breach Notification Rule, the Omnibus Rule, and the HITECH Act. Each of these rules and regulations come with their own implementation standards.
Some, like the HITECH Act were enacted to account for changes in medical technology. Others, like the Omnibus Rule, mandated that HIPAA business associates (BAs) be HIPAA compliant in addition to covered entities (CEs) — BAs include all third-party healthcare vendors that handle healthcare data.
That's why, when it comes to HIPAA compliance manuals, you're playing a losing game. There's no way to constantly address the changing face of HIPAA regulation, especially because HIPAA requires that policies and procedures be updated and reviewed annually.
So what's the solution, then? Ditch your HIPAA compliance policy manual and adopt a software solution that is made for the modern healthcare practice.
HIPAA Compliance Solutions for You
HIPAA compliance software is the most effective means of keeping up to date with your HIPAA compliance in today's digital world.
Gone are the days where a HIPAA compliance policy binder alone could keep you protected–and the technology has evolved in kind. New and efficient ways of tracking your HIPAA compliance are out there. Struggling to make sense of your HIPAA compliance manual can be a thing of the past just by signing up for a HIPAA compliance software.
With a HIPAA compliance solution that works for you, you'll be able to access templated policies and procedures that you can customize to the unique needs of your practice. HIPAA training becomes just as simple with individualized employee logins. Instead of closing the office for an afternoon of stale HIPAA training, employees can read and attest to policies and procedures on their down time throughout the day.
Additionally, an effective HIPAA compliance solution should incorporate business associate and vendor management–something you'd never be able to achieve with a HIPAA compliance manual alone. Executing and documenting Business Associate Agreements and Vendor Agreements from the same portal as the rest of your compliance program saves you time and keeps your documentation organized without the need for more paper.
In addition to the policies and procedures you'll get with an effective HIPAA compliance solution, you'll get everything you need to address the full extent of the federal regulation.
Stress-Free HIPAA Compliance
An effective HIPAA compliance solution does more than just replace your HIPAA compliance manual–it gives you the peace of mind that your HIPAA compliance is being fully addressed in one place. Rather than having to worry about tracking different HIPAA initiatives throughout the year, all you need to do is log in and find everything there exactly as you left it.
By creating a Culture of Compliance, you're showing your patients that you care about the integrity of their sensitive health data while protecting your practice from the growing numbers of data breaches and government fines.
Get More than a HIPAA Compliance Manual
With Compliancy Group, you'll get everything you need to ditch your HIPAA manual for good. Compliancy Group's web-based compliance software is a total solution–built to address each and every element of HIPAA compliance.
Compliancy Group also goes one step further–we address the full extent of the law and pair you with one of our expert Compliance Coaches to guide you every step of the way.

Constantly Risking AbsurdityAug 18
What a great title this is!!! What a definition of our lives. I say this because my week is absurd right now. It started last week when Jason came cruising into the apartment in the middle of the day. I was sure that either someone had died or he had been laid off. It's been 5 years since he has darkened our door home sick from work. He doesn't get sick. I get sick. I come close to anyone in the county and I get sick. I'm still sick. He is fine now but I am still sick… The good news is that I have new windows. Because the only thing that can make illness more interesting is having to turn your apartment upside down and let strangers parade through the room to stare at you in your pajamas. Laughing and commenting about you in Spanglish, as you ever so delicately blow half your brains out into a Kleenex. Not really but you think they are, because we are all so self absorbed that we think things are about us. Especially the things we can't define, can't understand or can't interpret. I feel that way when my nails are being done and Cantonese fills the room. My wedding anniversary is tomorrow. I propose a Gatorade toast. I've been reading poetry this evening. Can you smell it on my breath? I'm sleep deprived and dry-eyed and my fever keeps creeping up on me in the night. A friend of a friend died. I don't know him but it reminds me that I can still feel. I ran into a stranger on a virtual farm who had both lost and gained a grandchild in one week. One was born and another is missing. Her mother is mentally ill and they just can't find her. I went missing once. Life is strange. The second we get a good hand, someone reshuffles the deck just to keep us on our toes. God has to make sure we're paying attention. I had ADD (Absurdity Deficit Disorder) but I'm all better now. Time is the prescription. It all makes sense now.
I shared the evening with uncle Lawrence tonight. Here's what he had to say…
Constantly Risking Absurdity by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Constantly risking absurdity
and death
whenever he performs
above the heads
of his audience
the poet like an acrobat
climbs on rime
to a high wire of his own making
and balancing on eyebeams
above a sea of faces
paces his way
to the other side of the day
performing entrachats
and sleight-of-foot tricks
and other high theatrics
and all without mistaking
any thing
for what it may not be
For he's the super realist
who must perforce perceive
taut truth
before the taking of each stance or step
in his supposed advance
toward that still higher perch
where Beauty stands and waits
with gravity
to start her death-defying leap
And he
a little charleychaplin man
who may or may not catch
her fair eternal form
spreadeagled in the empty air
of existence

This week I started out with a run and finally managed to get a sub 1 hour 10k though as much as I hate running (sorry I don't think I will ever be one of those people who love it as it does not come naturally to me but ask me again when I am a couple of stone lighter and I may have a different opinion) I feel like I have to do this again at an event. The reason being is my furry running partner. I have mentioned this before but much as I love my little April dog running with her is not always easy and can be stop start from the beginning to the end. Why do dogs have to pee every twenty metres? And I have to slow to check its not anything else that I need to stop an clear up. Why does she run off and then come back and stop directly in front of me? Why Does she suddenly dart across me? Why does she want to be friends with every dog in the park but when she runs over to them then just lays on the floor? Maybe like me she doesn't actually like running and probably thinks right I will show her for dragging me out – she's probably laughing the whole way round the park loop!
I've been reading Womens Running magazine trying to get some inspiration so I can be one of those people who I see in the park who stride along smiling as they run making it look so effortless whilst I puff and pant like a shuffle along. I have therefore decided that I shall start interval training. Apparently it will help make me faster, build strength, prevent injury and help with my breathing. I will believe this when I see the results as I tend to slow at even the slightest of inclines. So far my running has consisted of putting my trainers on and just running and hoping for the best but I have seen so many people doing this and you don't get better at running hills by walking them so I am going to do the opposite and run up and down them instead. I make this sound like I am so sensible but really I will just be in the park and whilst the other runners are doing their hill repeats and speed work I will just be going up and down hoping to catch my breath and not die.
So Monday morning bright and early I shall be out there running up and down a hill in the park like a crazy lady!
Talking of hills yesterday I ventured out on my own to the dreaded Old Church Hill that was the scene of the marital fall out the first time. I have been up this hill 3 times in one day and the first time I didn't make it – I actually gave up which is unlike me as I am a stubborn old boot and hence why I then went back. I had yesterday off and was going to be busy but wanted to get some cycling in so I headed in that direction again. This hill starts as a long drag and then kicks up a bit and then again every time if goes round a slight bend and you end with just a concrete uphill facing you where you cannot see the end (of hell). I figured I should do this again and on my own. Now I talk to myself (sometimes in my head and sometimes out loud) when running and cycling and for me its a mental battle and when I know I can do something it helps. Yesterday I won't lie I got half way up and thought oh god I've not yet got to the house on the right with the driveway by the road, which is the point where I know I am on the final stretch. Will I make it? Or will Old Church Hill be the place of my death? If you see me there just push me and my bike in a nearby bush – we'll be fine.
After what felt like an eternity I got to the driveway and having used all my gears was just spinning and trying not to look up to where you cannot see the end. In my head I was saying 'come on Lisa you can do this, you've got this' but really I was thinking yep I'm going to have to stop any minute. But I didn't. I could hear my breathing though and it did sound like I was going to die or at least carried around with me an oxygen tank for some medical condition. This was even better when I got to the top, sounding like a cow in labor, to find some fellow cyclists tinkering with their bikes to witness me in my finest glory. They said well done and whilst I caught my breath they were chatting. They were also far more sensible than me and were going down the thing rather than up it although I hear the hill on the other side is worse and so I am not sure who lucked out there, them or me? Maybe next time I will go up this thing the other way? Just to totally finish myself off!
I did manage to find a pic of this hill online – my intention was to do the hill, then the loop back around and go up again but there was a car parked in the driveway I mentioned and this hill is not big enough for anyone to be parked on it and so I figured if there is nowhere to stop do the next best thing and just hit Google instead! The pic doesn't make it look that bad actually but my legs would say otherwise.
After I conquered what I now refer to as Old Church Bitch I went swimming though not for myself instead I took my friends two gorgeous boys for their swimming lessons. So much fun! Though I did have to dunk both of them – they probably now hate me! My friend managed to take some pics and thought it was hilarious. As you will be able to see from my face – I did not but can assure you I am not trying to drown baby George as the pic would otherwise suggest!
Tomorrow I have another cycling event and i am definitely seeing improvement – perhaps down to the 3 spin classes I do every week? This weeks were taken by the lovely instructor Paul and they are a workout for sure – Wednesday's class finished with an 18 minute sprint in dedication to Sir Bradley Wiggins after his one hour record. Ouch is all I can say. Oh and sweaty, very sweaty!

Despite advances, patients with PsA still have unmet needs
Click Here to Manage Email Alerts
DESTIN, Fla. — Despite a recent explosion of new and emerging medications, patients with psoriatic arthritis still have many unmet needs, including more personalized treatment and control over immunogenicity, according to Philip J. Mease, MD, of the University of Washington.
"There is an increasing smorgasbord of options that we have for treating PsA," Mease told attendees at the 2019 Congress of Clinical Rheumatology. "First, the obvious thing to say is that this is a delightful time to be a PsA-ologist, because we have such a number of medicines that available to us to try in our patients."
"We still don't have the kind of immunophenotyping testing to pick out which is going to the most rational, first mechanism to use, but we have a number of treatment options that are highly effective for all the various clinical domains of PsA," he added.
However, even as advancements and new studies continue to expand treatment options — including interluklen-17 and -23 inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, TNF inhibitors and others — much more needs to be done to improve patient care, Mease said.
According to Mease, patients need more personalized treatment and immunophenotyping, which would allow providers to determine the best treatments for specific individuals.
"I think we need biomarkers in PsA — we need it for diagnosis, we need it for disease severity monitoring," Mease said. "Also, we need immunophenotyping to know who is going to respond best to what therapy. However, the challenge here would be the multiple different clinical domains, and the fact that there might be, even in the same individual, different responses in those domains."
In addition, he added that physicians should work toward the goal of stopping or aborting PsA before it even starts in select patients with psoriasis.
"There is a strong question out there: Can we head off PsA at the pass?" Mease said. "Can this be done through more affective and aggressive treatment of psoriasis? Most patients will have psoriasis long before they develop PsA."
According to Mease, rheumatologists should also work to "break through the limits of the 60/40/20 response," which is encountered in virtually all clinical trials, as well as gain greater control of immunogenicity in patients.
"We're seeing some of that now," he said. "I also think that some of that is going to come with playing with combination therapies in the future." – by Jason Laday

I have no direct knowledge but I find the below report very credible and very useful to all who doubt the President's resolve in taking down the Deep State and its assigns in Washington (rogue elements of the CIA, FBI, NSA, US military, Department of State, Department of Commerce, Department of the Treasury, etcetera). This is a helpful counterpoint to the totally insane and unconstitutional idea of privatizing covert operations, possible to include the domestic assassination of opponents of the President. Still missing from the President's armory are the Trump Channel and Open Source Agency, Grand Strategy (Two-Way) Conversation with America, and the Election Reform Act as a Presidential initiative to replace the compromised Congress.

text: Focus Stories Memory Lane Cottage at Oviedo 2020 by Shelley Ouellette Coming to terms with a family member's dementia or Alzheimer's disease diagnosis isn't easy, and choosing a compassionate environment for a loved one's care can be equally daunting. Fortunately, the experienced professionals at Memory Lane Cottage at Oviedo are dedicated to providing a loving, intimate memory-care environment, where residents retain a sense of independence and dignity. Designed specifically for individuals with Alzheimer's and dementia-related diseases, Memory Lane Cottage at Oviedo houses just 20 residents, allowing its experienced staff to focus on quality of life. "Memory Lane Cottage at Oviedo is an answer to a prayer for our family," says Nancy Seaman, daughter of resident Barbara Garland. "The staff shows such care, and the facility is so warm and homelike. They have thought of every possible detail to ensure a wonderful experience for my mother's life here. Each time we visit, we leave on such a high when we see how happy she is." With staffing ratios exceeding typical standards, the Memory Lane Cottage team is dedicated to caring for no more than 20 residents at a time, says Robert Matrazzo, COO. "Each of our resident suites opens to a common area to avoid long hallways and confusion when a resident emerges," he says. "The suites are fully furnished with specialty furniture and frustration-free features designed for queuing memory, including easy-to-open blinds, individualized climate settings, and 32-inch televisions with activated cable service that can be used as a memory screen with personalized family photos. Our dining room and kitchen have also been designed to allow residents to interact with our chef through a pass-through window, simulating the home environment." Memory Lane Cottage at Oviedo residents also have access to a robust activity program that includes cognitive and tactile exercises tailored to meet their preferences and abilities. For those residents who enjoy the outdoors, the grounds include 13,000 square feet of patios, walking trails, seating areas, water features, and gardening stations to promote socialization and daily activity. "Our team of certified dementia specialists also assists with coordinating physician services, occupational therapy, or other related disciplines, and they fill pharmacy orders to ensure each resident's healthcare needs are addressed in a consistent, timely manner," says Jerry Erskine, Memory Lane Cottage at Oviedo administrator. "Additionally, our fee structure is all-inclusive and features services such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, as well as medication management. Our team is proud to provide individuals in all stages of dementia the care they deserve so they can age with dignity in a safe and comfortable space that honors their life and legacy."

A small proportion of the population has what is usually referred to by psychologists as a dismissive avoidant attachment style. No issues for those who is aware of GOD as a result of GOD drew them to himself and no man can pluck them from the Father's hand. If you are both still dedicated to making the relationship work you can get by means of however it would take a lot of time.
Since narcissists cannot be changed, you want to reevaluate your needs and long term goals for the relationship – it may be attention-grabbing for a while to be around such kind of people but in the long run it will get exhausting and anger and resentment will overshadow any feelings of love and tenderness.
Holding negative emotions and ideas or making an attempt to sweep them away, is mostly not wholesome for a relationship. She has about as a lot of a chance of a successful relationship with him as a snowball has on a sizzling grill. People who don't belief themselves or have good self worth or self confidence routinely set themselves up for belief problems.
You also can seek for boards dedicated to character disorders – communities the place one can ask for sensible advice and shared data from individual perspectives and private experiences. If your reply is that you wish to unleash the hounds from hell each time your accomplice goes out with someone, then that is jealousy and my recommendation to you is to consider staying on this relationship. In most circumstances, males begin a relationship as a sport and for those who reveal all your self to them, they'd unfastened curiosity in you simply. When you obtain this, he'll select to take the relationship to the next stage with out hesitating, but you must launch some roadblocks first. This could be very upfront and keeps you in actual and direct contact, making it really feel as if the relationship really is not over for good.
Communication is the only approach you possibly can talk about the modifications that have come up in your relationship. When both individuals are dedicated to spending the time and the power it takes to make the relationship develop so that it could possibly survive the occasional storm.

Are there any plans to address the UI performance in GPUPerfStudio at some point? I'm finding the frame profiler completely unusable due to the UI draw time. The problem seems to be with rendering tables, which take up to 2minutes to render. I'm currently having to work around this by making the window very small and dumping the data to a spreadsheet.
I've seen this on a number of machines with different hardware so I assume it's a problem with the software.

Almost inevitably, when talking about memory and memorisation, the notion of 'rote knowledge' came up more than once, but I've tended to find that what is meant by 'rote knowledge' is rarely well-defined. I've found that people generally have a notion of what rote knowledge might be, and that it's bad… but that's about it.
Daniel Willingham put together an article on the idea of 'inflexible knowledge' that's been hugely influential on me. In it he describes very clearly the distinction between inflexible knowledge and flexible knowledge, and separates them from rote knowledge. I would strongly, strongly advocate that everyone read it now, before going any further. If you haven't read it before, it is essential reading.
Transferring his ideas to this context, it is almost impossible for what I am describing to be rote knowledge. This is in no small part because there is a distinction to be made between facts and concepts.
What is a concept?
In Willingham's article he gives an example whereby a pupil learns what the equator is 'by rote,' and because they do not understand the concept, they 'learn' and regurgitate that it is:
'A menagerie lion running around the Earth through Africa.'
The Equator, before he sets off
The equator is an example of a concept. Concepts are frequently conflated with facts.
As another example, a triangle is also a concept. We could try to communicate the idea of a triangle by describing facts about it e.g.
- It is a three sided shape and all the sides must be straight lines.
We can try to communicate more and more facts about triangles to flesh out the concept and develop a more complex understanding/conceptualisation, such as:
- it having three angles that always sum to 180 degrees,
- or that no one side can be longer than the sum of the other two side lengths.
If you really want to get to know triangles, then you can yet take this further and further, looking at:
- special cases such as the equilateral,
- or the isosceles triangles,
- or right-angle triangles,
- and the relationship between the side lengths described by Pythagoras' Theorem.
If you start delving into trigonometry then the complex mesh of interrelated facts that fully describe triangles explodes, and that's all before you think to bring in their relationship to circles, squares, the congruence 'rules' or non-Euclidean and fractal geometry.
But really, all we mostly want to absolutely guarantee is that every citizen can see a triangular shape and identify it as a triangle. This is an exercise in categorisation, and for this the best course of action is usually to show a sequence of examples of the triangle shape, and non-examples as well.
Well what is a fact then?
Facts are different. Unlike concepts which are very difficult to communicate by description, facts can be directly communicated. For example, it is a fact that:
- 2 is the smallest prime number, or that
- the angle sum of a triangle is 180 degrees.
The highlighted words are all examples of concepts; in order for the fact to be understood, those concepts must first be known.
So to understand Fact 1 a person will first need to learn the concept of 'the number 2,' 'small, smaller and smallest,' and 'prime number,' but assuming those three concepts are known then the fact can be communicated directly.
It may or may not be immediately accepted, and a demonstration or opportunity to challenge the fact may be required before it is accepted, but it can be communicated that directly. A common demonstration for the triangle angle sum is given here, though I have to stress that despite the video title this is not a proof (also remarkable that this girl had to wait until she was 19 and in her second year of university before seeing this!)
As for 2 being the smallest prime number, it doesn't take much thinking to realise and accept that this must be true.
What's this got to do with countries and capitals?
Tuvalu is a country, and its capital is Funafuti.
In the statement above there are two concepts, 'country' and 'capital.' If someone were to learn/memorise all of the countries and capitals then they must first have some conceptual understanding of what a country is and what a capital city is; without that they would be learning to repeat sounds without any meaning, such as in the menagerie lion example. i.e. their knowledge would be rote.
Most everyone I've ever met, though, has developed some understanding of countries and capital cities early in their life.
With that known, being told that Tuvalu is a country cannot be rote knowledge.
It is an exercise in categorisation.
There is no doubt much more that can be learnt about Tuvalu, and this is where my earlier triangle example becomes so important. Learning all that there is to learn, know and understand about triangles takes, frankly, a degree in mathematics, and probably beyond that. It is never-ending, and so it falls on us to define an end point for state education somewhere.
For triangles we start with simple categorisation. We then seek to communicate a great deal more about them by the time pupils leave school, and with good reason. There are many other shapes where we do not do this, however. We mandate that they be known, perhaps occasionally some limited knowledge of how to calculate their areas, but nothing more.
For 'countries' and 'capitals' as concepts, I've no doubt that, as suggested in this comment:
Countries, maybe, capitals, not so much. I would put the focus on teaching people what makes something qualify as a country to be able to discuss issues like Taiwan, Palestine, Greenland, Antarctica …
There is a substantial amount to be learnt about 'What makes a country, or a capital city?' I expect, again, that in fact it's probably a degree's worth of study. As with triangles, I'm more than happy for some of that to be happening in schools.
For Tuvalu the country, I'm sure there's much more to learn about it than just its name, location and capital. For one, just take a look at how much you need to zoom in before you can even see it on Google maps! How does a country so small still get to be considered a country, while Greenland doesn't…? Why doesn't size matter? What does matter?
However, while learning just the names, locations and capitals of all 195 countries is so feasible as to make suggestions to the contrary a bit obtuse, learning all there is to learn about 195 is similarly unfeasible.
So we can learn;
- a little something about everywhere in the world, and 'much more' about a few places,
- or 'much more' about a few places, and have all others stamped out of public consciousness.
I found it ironic that there were two commentators who accused an exercise of this sort, one which valued knowledge and awareness of the existence of all countries, as being imperialist, fascist or nationalist, when it is the alternative that sweeps vast swathes of the globe and its population out of our society's mind.
Most importantly, though – provided the concepts of country and capital city are understood – memorising facts such as these is by very definition not, and can never be, rote knowledge.

Gabriel Takes Helm at Bastrop High School
May 15, 2020
(Bastrop) – After a thorough search, Krystal Gabriel will become the next principal of Bastrop High School. Gabriel has served as principal of Bastrop Middle School for the past two years. During her tenure at the campus, students made overall gains in both academic achievement and academic progress under the state accountability system.
"I am so proud to remain a part of the Bastrop ISD family, and I am honored to have been selected to lead Bastrop High School," said Gabriel. "BHS has a proud tradition of school spirit, student leadership, and excellence, and I look forward to helping advance those efforts with our staff and students."
Gabriel has been in Bastrop ISD since 2010, when she joined the staff of Cedar Creek High School. There she taught Advanced Placement courses in Government, Macroeconomics, and US History, as well as coached multiple sports. She later moved into a lead counselor role and served as Associate Principal from 2015 to 2017. Prior to joining BISD, Gabriel was a teacher/coach in Lexington and Jacksboro ISDs. She holds a bachelor's degree from University of Texas at Austin and a master's degree from Angelo State University. She is set to begin her new role in early June.
"Krystal has proven herself to be a strong and creative school leader," said Superintendent Barry Edwards. "Her energy and enthusiasm, coupled with solid instructional knowledge, are the qualities we want and need at Bastrop High School to continue its trajectory of success. I am confident she will make a positive difference for the students, staff and families."
Bastrop High School will open its doors this fall to nearly 1,550 students. The campus earned a B rating from the Texas Education Agency and is home to award-winning fine arts, athletics, and robotics programs.

Genetics and Genomics
In C. elegans, similar to in mammals, mutations in the tubby homolog, tub-1, promote increased fat deposition. Here, we show that mutation in tub-1 also leads to life span extension dependent on daf-16/FOXO. Interestingly, function of tub-1 in fat storage is independent of daf-16. A yeast two-hybrid screen identified a novel TUB-1 interaction partner (RBG-3); a RabGTPase-activating protein. Both TUB-1 and RBG-3 localize to overlapping neurons. Importantly, RNAi of rbg-3 decreases fat deposition in tub-1 mutants but does not affect life span. We demonstrate that TUB-1 is expressed in ciliated neurons and undergoes both dendritic and ciliary transport. Additionally, tub-1 mutants are chemotaxis defective. Thus, tub-1 may regulate fat storage either by modulating transport, sensing, or responding to signals in ciliated neurons. Taken together, we define a role for tub-1 in regulation of life span and show that tub-1 regulates life span and fat storage by two independent mechanisms.

Unique experiment at Wild Place Project for endangered lemur
A unique experiment to see if endangered lemurs bred in captivity could adapt to life in the wild is taking place at Wild Place Project, near Bristol.
Bristol Zoological Society has devised a lemur boot camp to see if the animals have what it takes to survive on their own.
The two-month long experiment involves setting lemurs tests to see if they can find food, discover a way out of a 3D maze and work out how to peel vegetables.
The lemur boot camp is being overseen by Dr Christoph Schwitzer director of conservation at Bristol Zoological Society and a world expert on lemurs.
Dr Fay Clark, lecturer in animal behaviour and welfare at Bristol Zoological Society, who is leading on the project said: "We know that wild lemurs are adept at finding food in rich, spacious habitats but don't fully understand how flexible lemurs can be at exploiting new areas and foods.
"We are investigating whether lemurs born and raised in zoos have essential skills needed to survive in the wild."
Lemurs are only found on the island of Madagascar and are disappearing fast, due to habitat loss caused by deforestation and climate change.
Dr Clark added: "We are putting our Zoo lemurs through their paces with two tasks designed to resemble challenges they would face in the wild; in doing so we will assess whether captive lemurs have retained or lost evolved cognitive skills."
Dr Clark said if they perform the challenges poorly then scientists will consider how to help them develop better survival skills.
She said: "We can think about ways to make sure lemurs are equipped with the tools they need to face their rapidly changing landscape."
One of the tests, called False Fruit, involves hiding food in a container to see if the lemurs can find it and get it out.
The 12 lemurs at Wild Place Project (just off Junction 17 of the M5) are being studied on how they respond to different materials and how they react to artichokes, unshelled coconuts and cobs of corn with their leaves on.
Two MSc students from Bristol University Liv Pearson and Lucy Chivers are working on the project. Liv, 24, and Lucy, 23, have filmed more than 50 hours of footage which they will examine in detail.
The results of the Lemur Bootcamp study will be used to help conservationists in their fight to save lemurs.

I just love when you find traditional food from different corners of this amazing world, especially when you find a restaurant that really has captured the flavours and aromas from that specific region. Tonight I felt like trying out a Vietnamese restaurant located at Tegnergatan 19, right in the center of Stockholm, and I am so happy I did. The restaurant I chose was Pho & Bun, which is also located in the old town. The staff were very friendly and there's a nice vibe from when you enter the door.
There are several vegetarian options and the food over all was very well made and price worthy. I just think it's great that you can get to taste a piece of some traditional food from the other side of the world in your own city and you can just close your eyes and for a few seconds imagine what it would be like eating the same food in it's right surrounding. I also liked that the restaurant was almost full a Thursday night in January when most people are poor (including myslef) that must mean that the food is great and the prices affordable.
Enjoying a drink while waiting for the food, Pho & Bun has a big variety of wine and beer to choose from.
I had a traditional healthy soup and fried rice, I'm quite picky when it comes to fried rice since I've been living in South East Asia and this rice was probably the best I've ever had.
My boyfriend ordered a grilled and deep fried duck which dissapeared very quick, i guess it was very tasty!
I will definitely come back to try out some more of their menu!

We commute on a daily basis, mostly to make ends meets and often times for leisure purpose.
However, driving oneself in the comfort of a personal vehicle is more fulfilling than hopping from one cab to another
Almost every city has gotten its own unwritten rulebook with codes to be adhered to by drivers in a bid to drive 'peacefully' and/or co-exist with other road users. For my Ibadan folks and visitors alike in the city, here are some useful tips to have in mind to navigate successfully through the city;
- Micra taxis are a Necessary Menace? in and around the metropolis. They can easily claim the title 'King of the road' with the manner in which they meander into every available space with the consequence(s) the least of their worries. Lest I forget, you have to contend with okada riders too.
- Traffic lights at major intersections are literarily on sabbatical. Hence, it's a fight for the right of way except there are traffic wardens around to coordinate traffic. In the event that the traffic light works, get ready to be swarmed upon by alms seeking kids and adults in some cases.
- Driving in the metropolis is relatively enjoyable with its wide roads but driving on the snaky roads of the interior is tasking as there are special skills to be honed to navigate the thoroughfare in that part of town.
- Designated bus stops are not the only places commercial vehicles wait as they arbitrarily wait anywhere they deem fit to pick and drop off passengers.
- If you have a bad headlight, don't dare to drive at night as street lights probably come on once quarterly.
- You can park almost anywhere on the road until the day you run out of luck and get your car towed by men of Oyo State Road Traffic Management (OYRTMA) which would be bailed out with a fine in the region of twenty thousand naira.
- The roads around town are not all that rosy as there are well-worn roads in need of rehabilitation and in some cases reconstruction
- Be wary of drivers who drive on 'one way' as they find it cumbersome to go in the right direction and turn at the next available intersection which is the right path to go through.
The tips above are basic guides to understanding the code of conduct guiding road usage in the city of Ibadan.
Stay Safe.

The first prompt on the Writers' Workshop list this week read:
*The Police said it best when they said, "Every breath you take/And every move you make/Every bond you break, every step you take/I'll be watching you". Write about a time you believed someone was watching you.*
Um. But what if they WERE watching me? At the most inopportune time?
Oh, you moms know what I'm talking about.
When your darling child(ren) misbehave in public.
*nods knowingly*
I broke my number one rule of summer vacation: Do not take BOTH children grocery shopping.
One is manageable. Helpful, even. (Although a guarantee to spend even more than you had intended.) But, to take TWO children….two, highly energetic children who are missing their routine?
I do believe I tweeted that day:
If that were all it was, no biggie. I know I'm not the only mother who has had a child misbehave in the grocery store. #Fact.
It was the constant squabbling. The bickering. The poking. The prodding.
It was driving me mad.
It began with my quiet, calming mommy voice asking them to walk on either side of me, and not next to each other, and remember their good manners. (You can stop laughing now.)
It quickly progressed into (ridiculous) threats made sotto voce. (Because you know that works, right?)
It culminated with me dragging the two of them by the arm into the detergent aisle (the least crowded aisle at that moment in time, bending over until I was nose to nose (to nose) with the both of them, steam coming out my ears, and hissing at them to STOP IT RIGHT NOW OR MOMMA'S GONNA KICK SOMEONE IN THE BUTT.
Not my best parenting moment, but it wasn't that, even.
It was the feeling that while I was saying this, I'd dropped the facade of "Perfect Mommy" and was wearing instead some trash mommy scowl. Oh – you know you've seen these moms, the ones who scream at their kids (who are either ignoring them or cowering in fear) across a crowded aisle of a supermarket or discount store, swearing at them and calling them stupid (note: I did neither), bra strap hanging down her arm while she tells her kids to grab her a bag of Cheetos and some Twinkies and the Star and get a move on. You know, the ones that make you cringe, and feel better about yourself as a mother/human being?
That's what I felt like. And I felt like every eye in that store was on me, NOT controlling my normally well behaved kids. I'm sure they were waiting to see if I'd implode. Or explode.
I felt dreadful.
I felt like every eye was on me. Heck, even the checkout girl said "is he really hyper today?" (He is usually the mellower of the two in public, and HE was bouncing around like a rubber ball.) I could hear my sister's voice in my head saying "A little vinegar in that mouth would stop the sassing right away". I felt like every old lady in the joint was clucking and tsking at my out of control howler monkeys.
And it made me remember something I read once. It said (loosely, I've got permanent mommy brain):
Behave like there is a camera filming your every move.
What would you do if you had to watch the replay?
Yeah, that's not paranoid or anything. But it normally helps on those occasions where SOMEONE needs to be the adult and I need to count to ten (or ten-thousand).
In the end, they disregarded every last blasted thing I said to them.
(and lost TV for the rest of the week)
So if you should see a mom barely hanging in there with her misbehaving kids, do her a favor.
Look the other way.
Or, put a bottle of vino in that cart for her. You know she'll need something when she gets home that night.
(Me? I made myself a martini.)
Oh, there's some good prompts this week at Mama Kat's, which means lots of fun posts will be linked up today. Go take a look, and have a laugh.
I know I need one. I'm out of milk.

The HMinfo Research Library contains an in-depth collection of materials on home modifications and related subjects.
The Research Library does not lend books and other items. Under special circumstances, requests to use the library may be made by emailing .
Non-reimbursed 'out of pocket' costs to stroke patients have not been included in existing cost of illness studies. We aimed to determine the nature and magnitude of 'out of pocket' costs to stroke patients during the first year after stroke. 'Out of pocket' costs during the first year after stroke were documented for 165 persons registered in a community-based stroke incidence study during 1996/1997. Virtually all cases reported some 'out of pocket' costs. The average cost over 12 months was A$1110. The highest cost items were home modifications, aids and equipment. The most commonly incurred expense was for prescription medications. Total 'out of pocket' costs incurred by first-ever stroke patients in Australia in 1997 were estimated to be A$29 million or 5% of the total cost of stroke. The majority of 'out of pocket' costs relate to post-acute care aimed at minimising disability and handicap rather than to 'acute' healthcare.

"O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His steadfast love endures forever."
~Psalm 107:1~
One of my hopes for this new blog is to practice the art of slow to speak and patience in writing. There's an acronym I read somewhere that has stuck with me and is based on the word HALT. The context was communication in marriage but I believe its application is helpful in many areas beyond that.
When any or all of these adjectives describe you, chances are, the urge to speak is great. However, these are also the times when the greatest damage can be done. You say things that are unwise, untrue, unhelpful, and even downright hurtful. These are not the kind of words that edify.
There is a lot of talk these days about being real. I totally get it. I was just sitting on my husband's lap this afternoon, head buried in his shoulder, crying about the overwhelming feeling of suppression I have. The feeling of always having to be 'on' and polished for people. For me, being a pastor's wife, it is a rare thing to ever feel safe with people.
But your humanity cannot stay suppressed. It will find a way out. That is what happened with my former blog. I see that now. I was rebelling against the suppression I'd felt for so long. I was wasting away in the isolation of silent pain. I had lost all sense of dignity in the raw fight for survival. I was hungry, angry, lonely, and tired.
Aren't we all. At least in times and seasons. I truly believe you need people in your life where you can let your guard down, spill your guts, cry all over their shoulder, and share those raw moments with. Most of all, we need those people who will hold us in those times, listen to the sobs, forgive us, and love us anyway.
Thanking God today for the steadfast love language of Calvary.

Cervicogenic Headache Exercises
Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
Cervicogenic headaches are caused by problems in the muscles, ligaments, blood vessels and bones of the neck that create pain and discomfort at the base of the skull and head. These headaches are difficult to diagnose; usually other types of headaches have to be ruled out before a diagnosis can be made. Effective exercises for this type of headache include stretches and strengthening exercises.
Flexion and Extension
To help ease your headache, begin by stretching the muscles that flex your neck by bringing your chin to your chest. You should feel a stretch in the back of your neck. Hold for 30 seconds. Do an extension by looking up at the ceiling to stretch the muscles on the front of your neck. Hold for 30 seconds.
To strengthen these muscles, place your hand on your forehead, and push your head foreword against your hand. Hold for 10 seconds. Place your hand on the back of your head, and push your head back by looking upward. Hold for 10 seconds. Don't strain when doing these exercises; use about 10 percent of your strength.
Lateral Flexion
To stretch the muscles on the side of your neck, try to bring your right ear to your right shoulder while keeping your shoulder still; do not bring it up to your ear. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat with the left side. To strengthen the muscles on the side of your neck, place your hand on your right temple and, using your hand for resistance, try to bend your head to the right. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat with the left side.
To stretch the muscles of your neck that are responsible for rotation, turn your head and try to look over your right shoulder. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat with the left side. To To vary this exercise, place your right hand on the right temporal area. Using your right hand for resistance, try to look over your right shoulder. Hold for 10 second, and repeat with the left side.
Many people get relief from cervicogenic headaches by icing the muscles of their neck. Lie on your back with your neck over a rolled up hand towel with an ice pack inside of it. Your chin should be slightly tilted toward the ceiling. Relax on the ice for 20 minutes.

Hi, many-many years ago I used to own an Maxi LP (Yes Vinyl !) which on the back side had only one (1) song. It was a version of the Main Theme from Star Wars that featured only drums !, it was very funky.
A great piece of music.
Unfortunatelly that LP went lost !.
Where can I find this song again (perhaps in MP3 format) ???.
Thank you all,

Lindsay Gervino is 36, a healthy eater and exerciser, and mother of two children under the age of two—not the typical picture of someone who has a heart attack. Yet that's exactly what happened because of a sudden tear in a blood vessel in her heart, called a spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). Now with the help of her Massachusetts General Hospital team of doctors and nurses, preventing another is foremost on her mind.
"SCAD has been considered very rare, but in fact it's under-diagnosed," says her cardiologist Malissa Wood, MD, co-director of Massachusetts General Hospital Corrigan Minehan Heart Center's Corrigan Women's Heart Health Program. That's likely because, as Dr. Wood, a SCAD expert, has found in following 75 patients over the past two years, "99 percent of them—like Lindsay—are thin, fit and athletic." Mass General is the only site in New England caring for SCAD patients, most of whom are women, and one of the few places researching it.
Key to Surviving SCAD
The causes of SCAD are not fully known, but can be genetic or related to hormone and blood vessel changes during pregnancy. For whatever reason, a tear occurs in one of the three layers of an artery wall and blocks blood flow in the heart. In contrast, a build-up of plaque is at root of most heart attacks. With SCAD, the blocked blood flow can cause a heart attack, heart failure or even death.
"My mantra to all women is that if they feel new or different symptoms, like chest pressure or tightness, check it out."
Key to surviving SCAD is for women to recognize symptoms of a heart attack, which can be different than men's, and to quickly call 911. "My mantra to all women is that if they feel new or different symptoms, like chest pressure or tightness, check it out," Dr. Wood says.
She and her colleagues are also finding that the cumulative effects of stress can precipitate SCAD or its recurrence. "We see a strong link between how we feel emotionally and how the heart behaves," she says.
No Known Risks
Before her heart attack, Lindsay exercised five days a week and consumed a healthy diet of lean proteins, vegetables, fruits and grains. It was when she was doing chest presses during her exercise routine at home that she began to feel lightheaded and nauseous. She also experienced a tightness across her chest. "I thought I'd pulled a muscle," Lindsay says.
She remembers saying to her husband, Michael, that she didn't want to waste anyone's time by calling 911. Fortunately, he did anyway. The EMTs assumed she was having a panic attack until they performed an electrocardiogram as she lay on her bathroom floor. "My husband and I stared at each other in disbelief."
After care and a diagnosis at a hospital near their Reading, Massachusetts home, Lindsay was referred to Dr. Wood.
Most times a SCAD tear will heal on its own and doesn't require surgery or a stent. Lindsay is on blood thinners to keep blood flowing in the heart. She is also undergoing a cardiac rehabilitation program at Mass General to lower her risk of future heart problems.
"Some of our patients are afraid at first to even walk around the block," says her cardiac rehabilitation nurse, Nancy McCleary, RN, of the Mass General Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Center. "Coming here increases their confidence as they learn ways to safely exercise, improve their nutrition, reflect on their work/life balance, perhaps meditate, and prevent a SCAD from happening again."
Managing Stress
The exercise component of Lindsay's rehab program mainly involves walking on a treadmill, with the incline gradually raised over the twelve to eighteen weeks of rehab. Lindsay has also begun to use light weights. A big part of her recuperation is emotional. "I've learned from Dr. Wood how to manage my day-to-day stress better and to not sweat the small stuff," she says.
She describes herself as a "doer." She juggles caring for her children, her job, housework and pursuing a master's degree. "My son has trouble sleeping and before I may have fretted about going to work after a sleepless night," she says. "But now I am so grateful to be here to comfort him.
"I can live more normally than I expected," she adds. "That has a lot to do with Dr. Wood and the whole cardiac team."
For more information about how you can support Dr. Wood's research into the cause and treatment of SCAD, please contact us.

Stone Wood & Oil
Regular price
In the beginning I will explain to you the ecological and health reasons why we use Plant Wax (rapeseed wax) and wood wicks for our candles. Then you will get a scent and essential oil excursion which will perfectly prepare you for the scent blending of your own candle.
You will blend, mix and pour your candle in our beautiful amber glass jars together with the wood wick. It will then get your personalized kraft paper sticker with a name of your choice on it and our cork lid. When it's all finished, the candle actually has to cool for 24 hours. You will have 3 possibilities 1) pick it up the following days 2) I send it to you when it's ready (extra shipping costs). 3) You can take it with you immediately after the workshop. Therefore I will put your candle in the fridge for some minutes. But! It is very likely that your candle develops a little sinkhole due to the fast cooling.
Just yourself. I will offer everything we need, including beverages and snacks.
We will be in our studio - apartment in the South of Neukölln, Richardkiez . It is a living-working space in a typical Altbau apartment.
See you soon : )

After Your Spray Tan
1. Immediately after: Make sure to wear dark loose fitting clothing (like this dress or this) and Flip flops so you don't rub off the tan! Do not wear boots or tennis shoes for at least 12 hours!
2. Developing your tan: Wait at least 12-24 hours before taking a shower as this gives your tan the most possible time to develop. Sleep in a t-shirt or long sleeve shirt so you don't cause sweat marks under your arms.
3. Showering: For your first shower use a warm water rinse and no soap if possible, if using soap make sure to use a mild alcohol free soap and absolutely NO dove and NO bar soap! I LOVE Dr Bronner's Castile Soap!
4. Swimming: Do not go swimming until after your first shower and when you do wear a waterproof sunscreen as this will best protect your tan.
5. Exercise: You should wait at least 12 hours to exercise as sweat can cause drip marks!
6. Lotion: Make sure to MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE as this will keep your tan looking natural and healthy a lot longer! Oils are great (like Farmhouse Fresh Clementine or Agave), or creams without alcohol (like cocoa butter lotion or Burt's Bees Body Lotion).
7. Extend your tan: Use Norvell color extender moisturizing lotion at night to help your tan last even longer!
When you take a shower or a bath you will probably see some color wash off. Don't worry. This is quite normal as it is only the bronzer that I use when the tan is applied. You will be left with a gorgeous tan.
