COLUMN: Collegiate athletes at Olympics deserve pay
On Monday, the latest UCLA star announced an early departure from the athletics program.It wasn't for the NFL or the NBA Draft. Instead, it was redshirt freshman Mallory Pugh — a star forward for the U.S. soccer team who debuted in the Olympics at the age of 17 — making the headlines. On Monday morning, Pugh made the decision to forgo her remaining four years of college eligibility in order to pursue a professional soccer career.Pugh isn't the first women's soccer player to make this move — Lindsey Horan did the same two years ago, skipping the college process completely to play for Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in France. This decision is common among Olympic athletes in every sport. The reason? A set of NCAA rules that hold back college Olympians from receiving the same compensation as the rest of their team.Due to NCAA restrictions, Olympians still can't accept any form of payment or gifts from their federations. That means that Olympic athletes forgo massive paychecks in order to earn a college education.Katie Ledecky, the current Stanford swimmer who won five gold medals in the Rio Olympics, made this fact famous when she was forced to refuse a waffle maker during a stint on The Ellen Degeneres Show. Despite the fact that she'd recently set multiple world records and won gold medals along the way, Ledecky couldn't accept the gift in order to protect her "amateur" status in the NCAA.The irony of this situation is that athletes like Pugh and Ledecky aren't "amateurs" in any regard. Sure, they're still college students and yes, they've only been legal adults for a few years. But these athletes represent some of the top competitors in the world, and they have already shaped and molded the future of their sports. Ledecky will always set the bar in any pool that she swims in, and Pugh is tough enough for veteran opponents to guard despite being only 18 years old.Ultimately, Olympic athletes who decide to stay in college take on the duties of both an Olympian and a college athlete, but forgo many of the rewards of both teams. When the Olympics and the World Cup roll around, these elite athletes will even skip out on college practices and games to travel to national team camps and events. And many athletes won't benefit from the free education that is considered "compensation" for their time as a college athlete — take, for example, former USC women's soccer player Amy Rodriguez, who delayed her graduation in order to compete in the 2008 Olympics.When discussions of NCAA player compensation and amateur restrictions are brought up, the most common argument in defense of these rules is one that protects sports such as women's soccer or swimming. The main concern is that compensation and gifts would be aimed mainly at sports that turn a profit, such as football or men's basketball, without the same funds being spread to less popular sports. This would seem unfair, especially since every college athletics team works the same demanding hours and invests the same level of effort while chasing a national title.But the issue of national team compensation flips that argument completely on its head. When it comes to paying Olympic athletes, football and men's basketball are completely removed from the conversation, as one is not an Olympic sport and the other fields a team of NBA players. In the Olympics, the teams stacked with NCAA talent are the less popular events that could be hurt by player compensation — anything from swimming and women's soccer to water polo and gymnastics.The intricacies of NCAA player compensation can be debated for hours, but this specific issue is simple. Olympic athletes should be allowed to accept money for their work on their national teams. The compensation comes from national federations, meaning that it puts no pressure on colleges to spend athletic funds on player paychecks rather than scholarships or other expenditures. This type of compensation also doesn't allow fans to sway athletes or violate any type of "gift-giving" regulations that the NCAA feels are necessary.In the end, there aren't any clear reasons why the NCAA does not allow student Olympians to accept the same rewards as the rest of the team. After all, the athletes accept their medals — which are priced upwards of $500 — along with piles of team-branded gear, free flights and team events that include free games, concerts and more. The extension of a team salary seems as if it would follow common logic.And in the end, how are these restrictions truly helping the NCAA? Whether or not Pugh or Ledecky enter their school with a U.S. salary in their bank account, they will remain the top athletes of their age groups. No amount of national team payment could change the fact that these athletes are the best of the best, and they certainly wouldn't do anything about the fact that Ledecky will lap most of her competition, NCAA or international.Pugh's decision could put her at a level of risk that male college-stars-turned-pro don't necessarily face, as women's soccer doesn't have the same financial payout as men's sports like football or basketball. Although Pugh already has the star power to become the next Alex Morgan or Mia Hamm, her paycheck after a couple of years in the NWSL or the Euro Leagues will be only a fraction of the salary of men's basketball or footballone-and-done stars.Nonetheless, taking the leap into professional soccer this early is a gamble that, barring injuries, will pay off in the long run for Pugh. And next season, the NCAA will miss out on one of the most explosive players in the game.It's time for the NCAA to make a change. Allowing athletes to reap the benefits of their Olympic glory won't do anything to hurt the college game — and it might, in fact, help it.Julia Poe is a sophomore studying print and digital journalism.

Victor Campenaerts surprises by conquering the bronze medal at the ITT
On the 52.2 kilometres long course in Tirol, the European time trial champion proved to be the third fastest rider of the entire world. Though, the TT specialist wasn't considered as a top contender, he surprised everyone by riding his best race ever. It was neck-and-neck for silver with previous TT World Champion Tom Dumoulin, but the Dutchman managed to hold off Campenaerts by only 53 hundredths of a second. Campenaerts does write a piece of history as he's the first Belgian ever to take a medal in an elite TT World Championship.
The Australian Rohan Dennis dominated the time trial from the first intermediate checkpoint onwards. He secured his golden medal and won with an advantage of 1'21" over his nearest rival. The battle for the silver medal between Campenaerts and Dumoulin, however, was thrilling till the very end. Campenaerts was only eleven seconds behind the top contender at the second checkpoint, the summit of the decisive Gnadenwald climb. The Lotto Soudal rider put in a strong effort in the final part and closed the gap to only a few hundredths of a second, which was beyond expectations. Campenaerts secured the bronze with a solid advantage of 43" over Kwiatkowski, who took fourth place.
Victor Campenaerts: "I could never have imagined to round out the podium at these World Championships. I believed to only have a small chance, but to finish in third place with such a big difference with fourth-placed rider, Kwiatkowski, is beyond my expectations. It took me a while but I finally fell asleep yesterday and when I woke up this morning it really hit me that I became third at a World Championship! After having crossed the finish line, I had to recover from my effort and could only feel the burn in my legs for those first couple of minutes. Before the podium ceremony, when I was sitting backstage with Rohan Dennis and Tom Dumoulin - two of the best time trialists in the whole world, I realized what I just achieved. It really was a unique moment."
Today, I'll leave for Grenchen, where I will be tested for an attempt to break the hour record.
"I've completed my best time trial ever. Hence, I'm really happy with this third place and I know I have a bright future ahead of me. For the moment, I am grateful for this bronze medal, but I hope to be the very best one day. Considering the timing, I hope to achieve my highest level at the Olympic Games in 2020. Yesterday, I knew that a third place was the best result possible, but I even almost took silver! Several journalists had been saying that I was capable of finishing in third place as I already beat many of my rivals in TT's before. Yet, I wasn't sure as the climb was steep. In a time trial, you always lose the most minutes, seconds,... in the parts you have to slow down, i.e. when you're riding uphill - not my speciality."
"Before the race, I had a clear pacing strategy: pacing my time trial is something I always do well and this result proves that I can achieve great results if I can be at the start line well prepared. I always perform much better in time trials, separated from stage races than I do at TT's that take place after a few days of racing as was the case in Grand Tours like the Giro and Vuelta. If you take a look at my prologues or time trials, without including those in stage races, I've always finished inside the top five this season. And now I even finish third at a World Championship."
"There are many people who asked me where I could have lost those 53 hundredths of a second, but I'm so happy with this third place that I haven't given it much thought. Basically, I could have lost such a small difference everywhere. I did win the European time trial with a very small difference as well. I would have been more disappointing missing out on that first place in Glasgow than not taking the silver medal yesterday. I also achieved a Belgian record, but I'm just really happy to better the performance of my good friend Yves Lampaert. He always teased me with the fact I hadn't proven anything yet at the Worlds, referring to his seventh place in Qatar. Now, I finally proved him wrong."
"Today, I'll leave for Grenchen, where I will be tested for an attempt to break the hour record. Those tests were already scheduled ahead of these World Championships, so yesterday I celebrated my bronze medal quite peacefully. I continue till coming Saturday and end my season after those tests. Tomorrow I'll do some trainings on the track and the day after, I'll try to go faster than the average pace of the current hour record for half an hour, which is faster than 55 km/h. If I succeed, I really want to try and break the hour record and see, together with the team, when my attempt could be scheduled. But, of course, I'll keep cherishing my bronze medal in the following days as well!"

Finnish operator DNA has partnered with Ericsson to provide a Customer Experience Management (CEM) solution based on User Data Consolidation (UDC) for real time data consolidation and exposure. This solution will enable DNA to resolve customer care issues in a faster and more efficient way than was previously possible. As a result, the end user experience will be greatly improved.
The DNA Customer Care center serves more than 3 million users a high proportion of who are mobile broadband users who demand high standards of service quality and user experience. With the new solution, DNA benefits from reduced time per call and escalations to second line support, which significantly enhances customer satisfaction and loyalty and reduces churn and opex.
"Delivering high quality customer care is at the heart of our business," says Tommy Olenius, Vice President, Technology, DNA. "The implementation of this solution gives us the optimal tools to monitor the customer experience and to proactively make adjustments as issues arise."
To support DNA in coping with increased demand for high quality services and user experience, Ericsson put together a team of technical experts whose main focus has been to capture the needs of the customer care organization.
Magnus Furustam, Head or Product Area Core and IMS, Ericsson Business Unit Networks, says: "DNA's focus on end user satisfaction and operational efficiency andEricsson's expertise in optimizing service have combined in this project to support a new generation of mobile broadband users who constantly pose new challenges to the customer experience management area."
After this first phase, Ericsson aims to further explore the value that can be created from the user data assets that DNA has in different parts of its networks, where the User Profile Gateway (UPG) is a key element for aggregation and exposure of user and network data. This will provide DNA with advanced solutions for proactive customer care, automated root cause analysis and benefits beyond the mobile broadband area.
One of the innovative aspects of the project is the role that the UPG plays in the solution, allowing DNA customer care personnel to have real time access to relevant user data from different OSS and BSS databases. The data is presented in a simple format to facilitate the rapid resolution of customer issues. This is just one way that Ericsson solutions can consolidate user and network data from different parts of the network and present it in real time to benefit users and operators.

Horny sadist Jaime is wearing his football shorts and a jockstrap. He strips out of his tight shorts to reveal a well-toned, hairy arse and makes his pathetic sub sniff around his sweaty groin, all the time sneering down at the wormlike bottom.
His jockstrap is pulled off and Jaime rams his rock hard cock deep into the back of the sub's ungrateful mouth. The sub has to suck Jaime's solid long dick until he reems. This massively turns on the dominant top so the squirming sub is then bent over and harshly fucked up the arse. Jaime energetically pumps his cock into the sub, ignoring his whimpering.
Pushed into various positions by his Master, the sub is fucked every which way and his gaping arsehole is soon aching from the damage it receives. Eventually, the sub is on his back with legs in the air. Sweating Jaime pulls out and clambers onto the sub's chest, ordering him to open his mouth. Master Jaime then deposits thick sticky spunk into the sub's defeated mouth.

Re Jane
Publisher's Summary
Journeying from Queens to Brooklyn to Seoul, and back, this is a fresh, contemporary retelling of Jane Eyre and a poignant Korean American debut.
For Jane Re, half-Korean, half-American orphan, Flushing, Queens, is the place she's been trying to escape from her whole life. Sardonic yet vulnerable, Jane toils, unappreciated, in her strict uncle's grocery store and politely observes the traditional principle of nunchi (a combination of good manners, hierarchy, and obligation). Desperate for a new life, she's thrilled to become the au pair for the Mazer-Farleys, two Brooklyn English professors and their adopted Chinese daughter. Inducted into the world of organic food co-ops, and 19th-century novels, Jane is the recipient of Beth Mazer's feminist lectures and Ed Farley's very male attention. But when a family death interrupts Jane and Ed's blossoming affair, she flies off to Seoul, leaving New York far behind.
Reconnecting with family, and struggling to learn the ways of modern-day Korea, Jane begins to wonder if Ed Farley is really the man for her. Jane returns to Queens, where she must find a balance between two cultures and accept who she really is.
Re Jane is a bright, comic story of falling in love, finding strength, and living not just out of obligation to others, but for one's self.
What listeners say about Re Jane

Great Book, but Seriously. . .
A cautionary tale for Audio fans - this could be a really fun book to read, but beware this narrator!
I loved the take on "Jane Eyre", the characters are bright and involving, and the twist on the old story is entirely appropriate for modern audiences. This is a mish-mash of cultural clashes and identities, of academic farce (Victorian Women's Studies!) and political correctness. It moves easily from New York to South Korea and back again- and our Jane does indeed learn a lot about life and love and belonging.
But I nearly returned this audio book, and the reason is the narrator. Seriously, it's difficult to bear throughout. Diana Bang literally "reads" this as if she were experiencing the words and public recital for the first time. Exactly the same emphasis is placed on each and every word - including "is" and "a" and "the"! The cadence is always the same. It diminished the experience for me, and I am looking forward to getting a hard copy.
I'd advise listening to the sample carefully before committing to this listen. "Re Jane" has proven (to me, at least) that, once again, the reader can make or break even the most interesting of books.

Absolutely terrible narration...
This was my book club's selection which I wouldn't have picked on my own because I'm not a fan of coming-of-age stories. However, I was intrigued by the novel being cross-cultural and I have lived in both NYC and Seoul, so I was actually looking forward to reading it. Unfortunately, Ms. Bang destroyed this novel with her narration. She read this as if she was on stage at a poetry slam. I wish I had abandoned the audio version and read the book on my Kindle.

Great Cross-Cultural Story!
I grew up straddling two cultures and I found that this book not only nailed a lot of the feelings I've had over the years when visiting both sides but it was well-written, funny, and true to life -- as we are all non-perfect human beings. I also loved learning more about Korean culture. I was in South Korea for the first time last month through my taekwondo training. So many things in her descriptions made me laugh and want to go back. Thank you for a wonderful story! I learned about this book via her interview on NPR.

Not a good book unless you are at teenager maybe.
The story doesn't really have much of a pay off and the writing style just wasn't for me. Perhaps others will enjoy.
Some of the accents used in the audio version are cringe inducing.

hard to enjoy with such an awful performance
it was hard to listen to. first book I have ever returned. terrible performance. Diana Bang shouldn't narrate ever again. unless maybe a Shatner memoir.

Total Misunderstanding of the nature of Jane Eyre
it seems to me that the author completely misunderstand the Bronte Jane Eyre, instead of finding a modern Jane, the author sites a sempering and mini-mouthed shell. Jane is so desperate for affection she falls for her married employer who offers her nothing but McDonald's and food he hides from his wife. As from tier first sexual encounter of is clear of the authors bias against the Jane and Edward romance. Jane is led like a dog the whole book and the author spends more time fleshing out side characters that we leave the book worth no sense of completion. I have no aversion to a changed ending of it could leave me complete but this book falls woefully short.

A Jane for modern times and manners
Re Jane started off as a really fun read, a retelling of Jane Eyre that turned the story on its head and shook it up and down. Think a modern, Korean-America Jane who toils in her uncle's corner store in Queens, New York (imaginatively titled 'Food'). A Jane that didn't get the career she went to college with due to the economic downturn, so decided to take an au pair job just to get out of Queens. A Jane that flies across the world on a whim, telling no one and reinventing herself – hang on, that sounds completely different!
Well it does because it is. While some of the similarities in Patricia Park's retelling are obvious are soon as they are revealed, there are also big changes to the narrative. If you have a slavish devotion to original plot, there are some aspects of Re Jane that you really won't like (like K-dramas, Beth as Bertha and the way Jane strings along some people). Hang on, did I just make a statement that Jane wasn't a perfect golden heroine? Yes, I did. Jane Re is selfish and whinging at times. She's after what's best for her, except quite often she doesn't know what it is herself. She abandons Devon, who she is the au pair for after sleeping with her father and flies to Korea, telling nobody. Oh, and this all happens on the night of 10th September 2001. So nobody – not her uncle, not the Farleys (Beth and Ed) know whether she's dead or alive. But Jane doesn't stop there. In Korea, she gets engaged, but then decides that's not really what she wants either. I get that Jane is mixed up, being an orphan with a doubt over her parentage, bummed over her inability to get a job in her chosen field and young and foolish, but- she is still really, really selfish and unthinking. So while I started out loving Jane, in the end I wasn't too fussed what happened. She seemed to take everything in her stride, then expect more without giving anything.
And our modern Mr Rochester? Well, Ed Farley was a limp fish for me. He's not particularly stand-out awesome, nor brooding and moody. He's just an average guy who is happy to go with the flow, cheat on his hyper-achieving wife and makes sandwiches. He was kind of bland. While I understand that in no way should Jane's future depend on Ed in this day and age, he's not a hero I wanted her Jane. They just seemed so…unsuited (even though Ed could be just as selfish as Jane). I much preferred Jane's suitor in Korea, who was sweet, devoted and caring. I felt bad for him when things turned pear shaped! For me, the other star was Devon. The modern Adele, she's smart and sassy and not afraid to try to bend the rules. I felt both Jane and Ed gave her short shift in the later part of the novel – I would have loved to see more of her.
Despite my character gripes, I did enjoy the story of Re Jane, trying to match the plot movements to that of the original story and marvelling at how well Patricia Park changed things for the modern era. Kudos also goes to Diana Bang, who was the perfect voice for Jane and did a great Korean accent. I loved Jane's explanation of nunchi (trying to fix a particularly awkward situation smoothly – something that happens a lot in the story) and tap tap hae (that feeling that everything is closing around you in a social situation) and the section of the book set in Korea. It's a good story, just don't expect Jane herself to be redeemed.

This section of my blog will look into different ways that I may be able to present a animation at the end of the year:
The first Example I can give you of a current industry context is Tom and Jerry:
Provided by Cartoons for Kids on Youtube
The reason why this is a excellent example of a current industry context is because it is basically a multi-lingual animation. What I mean by this is that because no words are often spoken by the main characters apart from the occasional scream of pain or the owner of Tom telling him of for destroying the house, there is no language barrier because the story of the animation is easy to understand and hardly anything is said by the characters so there is no struggling to understand what the characters are saying to each other. The communication is done by the actual actions of the characters in order for them to communicate with themselves, each other and the audience. This might be useful for the animation I might choose later on to be presented to the public because if I choose a location that is set in a heavy English speaking location but lots of tourists visit the location that don't speak this language they are still able to see what the story is trying to tell them easily.
Another excellent example of breaking the language barrier is Simon's Cat:
Provided by the Simon's Cat Youtube
Again this form of animation uses characters who have no voices to communicate with the target audience by using their actions and simple noises such as grass rustling and Simon's Cat actual purring and meowing to do so. Like Tom and Jerry these animations do also occasionally use the language origination from the user to pass certain parts of the story line or plot that can't be easily communicated across to the audience but in this case Simon uses a minimum amount of language that is still understandable to those who don't speak English such as No and Down. Another reason why I chose this animation is that colour scheme of it is quite inspiring, what I mean is that the white is used because not only is it soft on the eyes, meaning unleash the brightness is turned right up does it hurt the eye of the audience, the colours also help identify the nature of the characters. For example Simon's Cat is constantly depicted as a light white colour the reason for this is that it represents his characters playful nature which is pure and innocent, although some of his actions could argue against this.

Parodia chrysacanthion
(This plant comes in a 3.5 inch pot. You will receive a very similar plant to the one in the picture. It may or may not be blooming at the time of your purchase. The plant is shipped in its pot to prevent any damage to the roots).
Also known as Golden Powder Puff.
Flower: The crown bears a mass of large golden flowers in spring and, often, pale yellow wool.
Blooming season: Spring.
Cultivation and propagation: Water these plants regularly This plant should remain rather dry at other times (especially in winter), except for a quick, periodic misting on warmer days in late winter. If it is kept absolutely dry for a long period, it tends to lose its roots in winter. It can tolerate light frost (- 4C°), but rots easily if wet and cold.
If the local climate is warm enough to grow this plant outside, be sure that soil is well drained and sun if full, but with protection from strong midday rays.

About Us
My Story
I began my career by opening and managing a Seattle office for a Denver-based technical recruiting firm. We provided technical contractors for temporary assignments with engineering and manufacturing companies.
In the early months of this position with no business coming in, an empty Rolodex on my desk and a telephone book with yellow pages as the only source of potential clients, I learned the tummy twisting "true grit" of building something from nothing. Nothing, including top training programs, best selling marketing books and a doctorate degree touched the value of trekking out into uncharted territory in the pouring Seattle rain, in fashionably uncomfortable shoes, looking the part of a savvy professional while begging for 5 minutes of time to try, try try to do a little bit of business.
Looking into the rear view mirror from the vantage point of more than 20 years out, I truly believe my first nibbles of business came from a mix of pity and tongue-in-cheek humor from some of the salty, seasoned, old timer engineering managers who must have scratched their heads and wondered, "what is a girl like this doing out here, touring the inside of a ball bearing plant, wearing a safety helmet and pretending to have a smidge of knowledge about the latest manufacturing technologies, while mustering as much enthusiasm as possible in such a strange environment? Good question! Surely we can toss a little business her way…"
My second critical lesson came after I got a few nibbles of business. Drawing on ancient wisdom, I affirmed the truth that once I had the taste, the imprint of success, I could replicate it. I could say with confidence, "I know how to do this and I can do this." And so I did this over and over again. Over time I brought in great talented help and together we built a "just under $4MM business in six years.
Finding My Greatest Passion
In the early years I found my own gifts; 1)to create and grow business and 2) to help others to discover, articulate and communicate their distinctive gifts in the world of work. Drake Beam Morin and, later, The Brighton Group/OI Partners, both provided tremendous experiences and lasting professional relationships.
Fourteen years ago I unleashed the "entrepreneur within," starting my first business – Team 21 Consulting, which became My Distinctions Leadership Consulting and CareerTrac Coaching. I published my first Master Career Coaching book - CareerPak – in 2013.

Miles Rowland eats his way through sushi bars, endless Family Mart meals and ramen in the Japanese capital, Tokyo. Searching for a more local and down-to-earth eating experience, he explores with Tokyo insider, Yuriko Yamada, who shows him the not-so-well-known area of Tateishi, on the outskirts of East Tokyo.
This quaint little alleyway-style marketplace is filled with standing sushi bars, fresh produce, and intimate bars and restaurants that cater mainly to locals looking for refreshment after a hard day's work.
Nomad Miles steps away from the noise of Tokyo and finds his inner zen at one of Tokyo's quirkiest institutions - Cat Cafes.
Miles Rowland experiences sushi with a high-tech twist, and tries the world-famous, deadly poisoned Fugu fish.

Where Is My Heart? On a Mini, of course.
Copenhagen Gaming Collective is working on a game called Where Is My Heart? No, it's not a dating sim, but a platformer about a family of monsters who have things go very strange while on a hike.
The core mechanic of Where is my Heart? is the Comic Panel Effect. How can this mechanic be described? Imagine a 2D platformer with three monsters. The player can switch between them and work her way through the world to find a way home. Easy enough, right?
Now imagine the game world was cut up into little square pieces. These pieces are shuffled like cards and thrown back onto the screen. Disorienting? That's the Comic Panel Effect. It's a challenge to play, because the player has to figure out where the monsters are located.
Where is my Heart? is scheduled to reach alpha in August 2010, with release some time soon after.
They also have a blog with more information.

San Diego, CA — A Popular Seasonal has a new look and a new name.
Renaming a beer can be a tricky undertaking. The beer may already have a following or it could cause confusion. Naming a beer in itself can be a time consuming affair, for Twisted Manzanita we try to find names that allude to the taste of the beer itself. We felt that Night Before Christmas was no longer fulfilling its beer name obligations. Enlightenmint, helps to encapsulate this bold American Stout's true essence.
When speaking about the name change Nina Izadi, Head of Marketing for Twisted Manzanita stated, "Names need to draw interest to a beer, and we felt that Night Before Christmas was taking away from the attraction of the beer itself, also 'Enlightenmint' as a name helps to bring to light the mint flavor that is within the beer."
Updates to the beer also include a stronger ABV, along with some small recipe adjustments creating an all around bolder beer! There is also the updated label as well; this helps to add to the story of Enlightenmint. We wanted to bring to light an aspect of the Enlightenment period, something our Founding Fathers looked to when writing the Declaration of Independence.
Enlightenmint's robust, creamy body exudes warm chocolate notes and strong peppermint to create a memorable dessert inspired brew. Sip a pint of this confectionery treat or top it off with a scope of ice cream for a delicious beer float!
Mint Chocolate Stout
Available November —February
Bottle Release Party: December 6th See Facebook for more details.

Diabetes is a difficult disease to live with, and it is not easy to manage. Diabetics have to make significant dietary changes, and also have to regularly monitor their health. Although living with diabetes will never be easy, there are a number of things you can to improve the way you manage the disease. Below you will see some great tips that can help you manage your diabetes and keep you healthy.
The glycemic index is a number that reflects how much effect different foods have on your blood sugar level. Remember, the lower the GI number, the better for a diabetic!
It will be hard if your child is diagnosed with diabetes but bear with it. Since diabetes is such a common disease, there are many available treatments to help your child enjoy a normal lifespan. The world's oldest diabetic is currently 90 years old, and he was around before the medical advances we have today!
If you're diabetic, you must learn to indulge healthily. You probably don't have to avoid sweets altogether. If you are carefully monitoring your blood sugars, the occasional dessert is acceptable. If you eliminate some carbohydrates from your meals, you will have more room to eat dessert.
Walnuts can make a nutritious and tasty addition to a salad. The monounsaturated fats in walnuts can increase cell receptivity to insulin to help your body maintain good blood sugar levels. Walnuts also contain large amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are an all-around great, healthy food.
Diabetics must exercise caution when having a pedicure. Foot infections are common in diabetics and therefore if you should puncture your foot, care should be taken.
If you have hypoglycemia, you need to carry a sugary food such as gum with you. The effects of hypoglycemia can be much more dangerous than those of hyperglycemia, and it can rear its ugly head at any time. This is particularly true if you didn't eat breakfast, as it can cause your body to crave sugar.
You can do a lot of things to get your diabetes under control while losing weight at the same time, like taking walks or jogs at the park or around your neighborhood. Weights can be constructed out of bags filled with various heavy items from around your house, or try picking up cans from the pantry and working your arms with them.
Watching your diet carefully is important when you are diagnosed with diabetes. Different types of foods have different effects on your blood sugar levels. Large meals may call for large insulin doses, and a snack requires less. If you watch your meals, you can actively manage your glucose levels.
If you suffer from diabetes, it is better to eat as many as six small meals, rather than three large meals a day. By eating on a more regular basis, your blood sugar will be a lot more stable. Eating more often also makes it less likely that you will binge, as you are likely to feel more satisfied.
When you have this condition, you have to care for your health and monitor what you eat. The tips you've read here will help you lead a long, healthy life with diabetes. Stop letting your diabetes control you; you can start controlling it, for a change.

Fong Leng was the first Dutch designer that gave Dutch fashion an extravagant and glamorous international appeal in the seventies. She is an inspiration for designers like Viktor & Rolf, who dedicated one of her shows to her.
In 1971 Fong Leng opens a studio on Amsterdam. For 10 years she designs the most incredible and spectacular haute couture creations. The robes. Her theatrical coatdresses and skirts with quilted applications are named 'Bird of Paradise' and 'Chinese love couple'.
Her most famous client was the eccentric Mathilde Willink, also know as 'the Living Work of Art'. For five years Mathilde, The lady Gaga of the seventies, bought her entire wardrobe at Fong Lengs studio, the creations costing 10 – 30 thousand Dutch guilders (5 to 15 thousands euro's) a piece. Thanks to her extravagant lifestyle her husband and magic-realist painter, Carel Willink became more famous. In 1977 Mathilde was found dead in her own bed with a gun lying next to her, a still unsolved mystery.
Mathilde versus Gaga
In 1982 Fong Leng closed her studio and starts a new career in interior architecture and art.

TIt's been a crazy busy week. Deadlines, deadlines and then I also got a last minute request. This asked for creative thinking. The result was amazing. As soon a I get the pictures I will show them. From being courier to sitting front row at a Private Viewing (of Dutch Couture Designer Monique Collignon). I did it all this week. My workspace looks like a hurricane went trough it. Stacks of paper, paint and ink everywhere. Just when I start asking myself why I am doing this to myself, I receive an e-mail: : "We received you work, WOW!!".
I have the answer. I love fashion, I love to paint and I love to share my passion.
I love my work.

Do you really need to say the word "thank you" a million times to express gratitude? Nope. Sometimes all you need to do is open those arms and give a hug to show how thankful you are for everything the person has done for you. And if you think this rule exists only in case of humans, you're wrong.
Meet Abigail, aka Abi. This baby is probably the most lovable and warm-hearted animal ever.
Abi starts her day by hugging her rescuers every day to show how grateful she was to be rescued. How adorable is that?
Did we tell you Abi is the queen Kangaroo of the Kangaroo Sanctuary Alice Springs? A sanctuary that was founded in 2006 with an objective to rescue, relocate, and rehabilitate baby kangaroos. The sanctuary tries to send the Kangaroo back into the wild once they are ready to be amongst their own.
"Abi came to me as an orphan of 5 months old and was quite busted up with cuts and scrapes. Abi has grown into a very healthy baby and is my only kangaroo who comes up and gives a great big rugby tackle cuddle. Abi is also unusually light in colour and I think she is very beautiful,"her caeretaker said.
Abi was rescued when she was only a 5 months old orphan. It's been 10 years now, and Abi has never missed a day to thank her caretaker in the form of a warm hug. I mean, what better way than this right?
Be as beautiful as you are, Abi.

Crook to Receive NSF Dissertation Improvement Grant
Stephen Crook, a student in the Joint Doctoral Program with UCSB and SDSU, recently received the NSF GSS Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Award (GSS-DDRI). Steve's doctoral dissertation, titled "Assessing and mapping ecosystem service uses and values among National Forest stakeholders," focuses on developing methods to equitably inform U.S. public land management based on improving the understanding of stakeholder's values and uses of public lands. This research will provide data and demonstrate methods that can be used to fulfill statutory requirements for National Forest planning going forward, while allowing stakeholder groups to provide input into public lands management. Furthermore, results will be shared with the Forest Service and presented to stakeholder groups, improving understanding of priorities and highlighting values that are shared among groups. Steve's project will address the knowledge gap through the development of participatory approaches for identifying, valuing, and mapping ecosystem services that will link the ecosystem services concept with the resource use, cultural values, and livelihoods of diverse stakeholder groups. The total award amount is $10,326.
Receiving this funding will allow Steve to travel to increase the number of interviews that will be conducted in his field area, the communities surrounding Washington's Gifford Pinchot National Forest. His research will facilitate improved stakeholder identification and outreach efforts and will strengthen representation of the diverse stakeholder groups in the area. Steve's work will help provide guidance to the U.S Forest Services' as they incorporate the value of ecosystem services into their National Forest planning and decision-making.
Dissertation committee member, Dr. David Lopez-Carr, says the following about his work:
"I am enthusiastic about Steve's topic. It is classic human-environment geography, combining GIS and field interviews to further understanding of service uses and values among National Forest stakeholders in Washington's Gifford Pinchot National Forest. His mixed methods approach applied to a critical question surrounding use and appreciation of a national forest has great promise to advance our understanding of how humans value nature more generally. This fellowship is well deserved. Steve worked on multiple drafts over the last couple years before finding success. He has listened carefully to feedback and incorporated external reviews and feedback from his committee into his dissertation proposal. Steve has consistently shown thoughtfulness, motivation, self-discipline, and perseverance while I have worked with him. These characteristics will continue to serve him well."

Joassart-Marcelli and Bosco Featured in Podcast Discussing Ethnic Markets and Food Access
Professors Pascale Joassart Marcelli and Fernando Bosco are featured in a new podcast of The Fifty One series by Dame Magazine Leave geography site. Both of them speak of their research on the role of ethnic markets in addressing food access in San Diego.
The podcast is based on research that Professors Joassart-Marcelli and Bosco conducted in City Heights and other San Diego neighborhoods Leave geography site with funding from the National Science Foundation and the SDSU University Grant Program. One of the project's objectives was to explore the significance of small ethnic markets in providing access to fresh and healthy food in a neighborhood that lacks supermarkets and is typically described as a food desert. Joassart-Marcelli and Bosco conducted store audits and interviews of managers and customers in Mexican, Vietnamese, Ethiopian and other food stores that are operated by ethnic entrepreneurs and/or serving an ethnic clientele. In the process, they gathered rich data about the everyday experience of living in a so-called food desert and the food practices of City Heights residents, most of whom are people of color and immigrants who patronize local ethnic markets. The research highlights the positive role of these spaces in the community and points to the need for policy makers to consider them in designing solutions to address food insecurity.

An and Stow Receive Five Year NSF Grant to Study Parallel PES Programs
Professors Li An and Doug Stow have received a 5-year grant from the National Science Foundation's Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems Program for their research proposal "People, Place, and Payments in Complex Human-Environment Systems."
Project Summary: Payments for ecosystem services (PES) have been utilized as a tool to conserve ecosystems and their vital "life-support services of tremendous value" for nearly three decades, with reported positive effects from many parts of the world. Increasingly, multiple PES programs have been implemented in parallel (i.e., parallel-PES programs). Although parallel PES programs have also produced documented positive outcomes to coupled natural and human systems (CNH), there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the nature of the complex interactions among human and natural systems in the context of parallel PES programs co-development and co-evolution. This project builds on our recently completed CNH project at the Fanjingshan National Nature Reserve (FNNR) in China, which focused on one PES program and its interaction with local CNH system. Surprisingly, we found that the intended PES program and another concurrent one (thus they form two parallel-PES programs) exert significant detracting impacts on each other and on local ecological systems to a large extent. Yet little is known about the mechanism behind this observed detraction and its implications for the ecosystem. Targeting this challenge, we will answer the following questions: 1) Through what pathways or mediating variables do the parallel PES programs, through their influence on the human and nature subsystems, affect one another? 2) Where and to what extent do parallel PES programs lead to net changes in the environment? 3) How has and will the entire human-environment system evolve over space and time given these interventions?

Nara, Herman, and Tsou Receive Two Year NSF Grant to Improve Geographic Thinking in preK-14 Education
Adjunct professor Thomas Herman and professors Atsushi Nara and Ming-Hsiang Tsou have received a 2-year grant from National Science Foundation's Computer Science for All Program Leave geography site for their research proposal "Encoding Geography: Building Capacity for Inclusive GeoComputational Thinking with Geospatial Technologies."
Project Summary: U.S. schools and colleges are slow to adapt to ongoing advances realized with geospatial technologies, which urge the need for computational thinking in geography education. This project aims to identify strategies to build capacity for computational thinking in preK-14 geography education and to broaden participation in the discipline and workforce. Working in collaboration with American Association of Geographers Leave geography site, UC Riverside, California Geographic Alliance Leave geography site, and Sweetwater Union High School District, the project team will conduct exploratory research on pathways that articulate a progression of geo-computational thinking in geography education from school to the early years of college.

De Sales and Biggs Receive Five Year NSF Grant to Examine Land-Climate-Water Feedbacks in Agricultural Systems
Professors Fernando De Sales and Trent Biggs have received a 5-year grant from the National Science Foundation's Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems — Large Program for their research proposal "Land-Climate-Water Feedbacks and Farmer Decision-Making in an Agricultural System."
Abstract: This project examines how clearing forests for agriculture impacts regional water cycles and how these changes, in turn, affect agricultural production. The research will expand the emerging field of socio-hydrology (the study of the feedbacks between human decisions and water systems) by focusing on how land-use choices made by farmers influence water availability and thus alter the productivity of agricultural land. Understanding the relationships between land-use change, water, and agriculture is crucial to balancing tradeoffs between the environmental costs associated with converting forests and other natural habitats to crop fields and pasture, and the need to increase food production to meet growing demands as global populations and incomes rise. This project will contribute to the health and welfare of the United States and elsewhere by informing choices about how to increase agricultural output while limiting impacts on water, atmosphere and biodiversity. It will enhance research and education infrastructure by expanding a scientifically relevant and publicly-available dataset linking a survey of farm households to data and models of land and water use. Lastly, it will develop capacity in interdisciplinary research through the training of students and postdoctoral researchers.

Swanson Quoted in Brazillian Newspaper, The Intercept
Professor Kate Swanson was recently quoted in the Brazillian newspaper, the Intercept Leave geography site. Kate was commenting on Rudi Giullani's security work in the region.
Other academics also expressed doubts about Giuliani's work on the continent.
"He's like a political showpiece," said Kate Swanson, an associate professor of geography at San Diego State University, who has written about Giuliani's work in Latin America, arguing that his New York methods were not applicable to Latin American cities where police forces are corrupt and violent, and the divides between rich and poor are accentuated.
"When you don't address the corruption in the police who are very badly paid for their work, and you have very high rates of racial inequality, it just exacerbates the problems," Swanson said.

Debbané and Swanson Contribute to Report on Migrant and Refugee Detainees
What began as a casual gathering of friends has become a first-of-its-kind living archive of handwritten letters shared by hundreds of asylum seekers detained along the U.S.-Mexico border. Those letters, in the collective correspondence, provide a detailed description of each person's path to pursuing asylum, and the conditions inside detention centers.
That letter-writing effort has also become a major research and archival project involving the SDSU Library, whose Digital Collections team is digitizing hundreds of pages of letters. All told, more than 500 letters have been exchanged to date.
On February. 1, 2019, the SDSU student and faculty researchers, including geographers Dr. Anne-Marie Debbané, Dr. Kate Swanson and graduate students Sam Orndoff and Jose Gutierrez, co-released a new report, titled "Testimony from Migrants and Refugees in the Otay Mesa Detention Center," Leave geography site alongside the grassroots group, Detainee Allies Leave geography site. The report details accounts of insufficient food, unsafe working conditions, not having appropriate access to legal representation, access denied to phones and mail, among other conditions.
"Detainee letters give us a very stark view into the lives of asylum-seeking refugees and migrants now held in American prisons," said report co-author Professor Kate Swanson. "Letters from detainees who have been moved from San Diego to prisons in other states suggest that these conditions are not unique to the Otay Mesa Detention Center."
Please visit the New York Times Immigrant Detainee article Leave geography site for more information on the migrant and refugee project.
The Chronicle of Higher Education has also published an article on the work PDF file.
