Seiko Men's SKA192 Kinetic Watch
The Seiko Men's Kinetic Watch combines unique design with contrasting styles for a powerful visual punch. The large steel case features a two-toned stainless steel bezel with pieces of warm gold amidst the cool silver. The dial hosts dark silver and bright gold, showcasing the white-filled hour, minute, and second hands moving with the magic of kinetic energy. Your natural arm movement powers the watch, harnessing the energy for up to six months without being "charged." A gold-lined power indicator curves inside a polished gray circle around the hands so you can tell how much energy is reserved inside. Gold and white lines sit at each hour mark just inside a gray ring displaying white numerals at five-minute intervals and lines for the minutes in between. A small calendar display sits for the three o'clock hour. The white inside both hands as well as the lines gives off a soft glow in the dark, allowing you to tell the time regardless of where you and your watch are. Two-toned steel makes up the band, consisting of small gold pieces lying with flat silver links, all coming to a close with a fold over clasp with double push button safety for a close fit and a smooth feel. This bold timepiece boasts the reliability of Japanese quartz movement and is water resistant up to 330 feet (100 meters).

The future beads have been raised using a round graver......stones are snug. Now all that remains is to trim away all excess metal using a very tiny round graver and a flat one for the bright cut around the perimeter. Last thing is to bead up the tips. Commission job, client's mixed quality stones and gold.

14k two tone gold diamond
This beautiful gold- and silver-toned ladies' dress watch is eminently classy and features three useful analog subdials: the date, day of the week, and 24-hour time. From timeless classics to the latest fashions, Fossil is sure to have the timepiece that perfectly compliments your unique sense of style. Founded in 1984 when timepieces were created more for function than fashion, Fossil began to transform this notion with its unique combination of vintage 1950s Americana design and affordably accessible cool style. Adding to their collectability were the one-of-a-kind, trademark tins that came with the watches that mixed a creative spirit with a sense of humor. These iconic boxes are nearly as popular as the watches they hold and are regularly collected and traded throughout the world at flea markets, antique shops, and on eBay.
Today, Fossil produces over 300 different styles of watches in a continuously changing lineup. While the majority of designs are created by in-house designers, Fossil has reached out to such contemporary artisans as product designer Philip Starck and famed architect Frank Gehry (designer of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain) to create uniquely modern timepieces. In addition to style innovations, Fossil has also helped introduce innovative technologies into watches, such as the Wrist PDA that ran the Palm operating system. Fossil also offers complementary lines of small leather goods, belts, handbags, sunglasses, jewelry and apparel.

So i'm trying to estimate the impact of both monetary and oil price shocks on various macroeconomic variables in Norway. I'm employing the use of a SvAR in order to carry out this analysis and I have a number of questions:
Firstly, my IRFs seem to come out mostly insignificant for oil price shocks. This is counter to what the literature and basic economic intuition say. So i'm wondering if there's something I haven't accounted for? However, once I use a HP filter on the macroeconomic variables (GDP, unemployment and inflation) the IRFs suddenly become similar to those found in other research, though other research doesn't transform the data beyond logging. I've attached a picture of my IRFs and my B matrix.
With regards to filtering, would using a HP filter on a few of the variables make sense? My reasoning is that I want to examine the impacts of shocks and how they influence the business cycle. If not, what other filters should I be looking at?
Since I will be testing for cointegration would it make sense to test for cointegration on the variables prior to filtering or only after filtering?
I also notice that a few of my variables are unit root processes, what would be best way to deal with this? Differencing the variables also leads to insignificant results.
Thanks in advance.

Re: SVAR IRFs, filtering and cointegration questions
If you find evidence of cointegration b/w the I(1) variables (use the Johanson cointegration test, for instance), you can run a VECM imposing a restriction in the alpha and beta matrices to zero (meaning that those variables that do not have a unit root will be in the short-run but not in the long run dynamics).
I would avoid using the HP filter, as whatever you find will not necessarily correspond to the data generating process itself: http://voxeu.org/article/why-you-should ... ott-filter

Somehow, despite the running around of the past months, I still managed to do things.
I went apple picking and made apple sauce with a LOT of cinnamon. We made candied salmon and we got a slow cooker that we used a few times.
|Salmon in the dehydrator. It's sincerely the best thing in the world.
On the weaving side, good news. The blankets have both been sent and received by their new owners, Emoke and Aron. After I finished hemming the blue one, the hem frayed when I washed it, so I had to do it a second time. I decided to hopefully solidify it by adding and extra blanket stitch. The final result looks like this (not super nice, but I was learning):
|Picture taken in the car, because that's where I finished the hem, while my friends were waiting for me to drop it at Aron's place. I like the red with the blue.
|Sticks attached to the apron rod.
Knitting is also pretty good. After the last booties, I had time to knit another pair, this time red, for a future baby named Florence.
This pattern was so easy...but so cute! I knit it in about a week and gave them to the mama this morning.
Tomorrow is our weekly knitting meeting at the local coffee place. My heart is bursting with pride when I see people who started knitting a few weeks ago finishing scarves (and not any scarf, this one!), and starting baby sweaters. As much as I am proud of all these girls who are learning and running with their needles and yarn, as much as I am realizing that I am a bad knitter! It took me so long to finish my first few pieces, and even now, I can't make anything without having to knit it at least twice, if we consider all the mistakes I have to fix as I go...Anyway, I try not to get to depressed by that though, and try to feel better by telling myself that I must be a not-so-bad teacher:-)
Also in the knitting news, last week I went to Montreal with 2 friends for a yarn shopping day. We visited 3 stores, dropped the blue blanket, and stopped at my favourite Indian restaurant for a yummy lunch. I had just received a new book I ordered with baby patterns, and I bought yarn for a few projects. I'm ready for any other friend who is planning to procreate! I also bought yarn for this project. I can't wait to start it!
So this is it for now, have a great week!

The Writing section consists of a form with a choice of two topics. The examinee must choose one topic on which to write a 250 to 300-word essay. The response may be in the form of an argument or exposition, depending on the topic. The response should develop the topic in an organized way, with some acknowledgement of the topic's complexity. The ideas should be communicated clearly and with accuracy of form. Examinees should use varied syntactic structures and appropriate vocabulary. A total time of 30 minutes is allotted to perform this section of the exam.
Following is a sample topic.
Some psychologists believe that there is more to intelligence than what traditional intelligence tests measure (mathematical and verbal ability). They say there are many kinds of intelligence and many ways to be smart. Besides mathematical and linguistic intelligence, in what other ways do you think people are smart? Be specific in your discussion and provide concrete examples.
The Writing section is scored by trained raters at the University of Michigan English Language Institute. Examinees are rated according to the following criteria: rethoric, grammar/syntax, vocabulary, mechanics.

text: I hate asking for raises. I hate having my annual review, I just hate all of that. I used to work at the utility company on LI, a million years ago, and I had to be part of the Workers Union. The raises were automatic every 6 months like clockwork. If you got a promotion, then you'd get a little more money. Otherwise, there were none of those uncomfortable sit downs and discussions about strengths and weakenesses, negotiations about what I want and what the boss will give. Ugh. I was due for my annual review in April. I reminded Boss in June, July, August, September, October and again last week. Each time he says, "Oh yes, we have to sit down, don't we? How 'bout next week when I get back from Timbucktoo?" I say okay, next week comes and goes and no sit-down. It's not so much that I need the sit down. I've been doing the same job for 11 years this January and another 4 more before those 10 for the same man in the same industry. I can do my job blind folded - there really aren't any surprises. I am well trusted and respected by my co-workers, my boss, our business colleagues and associates. I do my well and am easy to talk to and people in this office and our other two offices always come to me first when there is a question or problem. I've trained everyone personally who works under me, and some who work over me. I know just about every single aspect of this company and how to run it. I am the only one who does the books for 7 different accounts, most of them escrow, and I do all the payroll and human resources, plus I administer the healthy coverage plans we negotiate each year with our agent. I do not think that I need to have a sit-down. in my opinion, it is what it is and basically, "JUST GIVE ME MY RAISE". Know what I mean???? So, why, oh why, am I so nervous-in-the-belly when it comes time to say, "Boss, will we bea ble to make time today to sit down and talk?" by the way, my boss is also my brother in law whom I have known for 33 years! I met him when I was 12. I've worked for him for 14 years. He's been married to my loco sister for 28 of those 33 years. I mean, this should not be so nerve wracking for me. Any words of encouragement are appreciated. ♥

Behind the Lens: Interview with Brad Elterman11 Share Tweet
On this new series 'Behind the Lens', we'll look at some rock 'n roll photographers who have taken iconic photos of our favorite musicians. For the first installment, the spotlight is on Brad Elterman, a professional photographer who started his career when he was only 16 years old. More after the break!
Who would ever think that a borrowed camera could spark a career in photography? That's exactly what happened when Brad Elterman borrowed a camera at the age of 16 and took a photo of his hero, Bob Dylan, performing on stage. That photo of Dylan was published in 1974, and his career skyrocketed from there. From then on, he has captured photos of numerous personalities including The Who, The Runaways, KISS, Queen, Michael Jackson, The Ramones, Blondie and many more. Elterman left school at the age of 19 and traveled with bands visiting Tokyo, Rio, Munich and South America.
Brad Elterman's work has appeared in several publications such as Cream, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, Rock Scene, and The New York Post among others. With his experience in rock 'n roll photography, there's no doubt that we could learn something from this iconic photographer. We took the time to ask him some questions and here's what he had to say. Read on!
Were you always interested in photography? How did you start out as a photographer?
My mom was an artist and I could not paint or draw. Every weekend my parents would cart me off to a museum or art gallery to look at art. My dad took loads of family photos and he had a great eye for composition. While I was at summer camp, I took a darkroom class and fell in love with the entire process. When I returned home, my parents got me a darkroom kit which I set up in my mom's studio in the basement of our home in the San Fernando Valley. I borrowed a camera from my brother and used my parents' car to drive over the hill to the Sunset Strip where I discovered all of the magic. The scene, music and light was also magnificent. Arriving from the SF Valley, I felt like I had entered into a different civilization… and I liked it. I met young journalists who were also breaking into the business and made contacts with the bands and record companies. There was always a cool band in town and there was always a party.
What for you is the advantage of using film versus going digital?
Film was and is the real thing. Digital is all information. When I photographed The Ramones with black and white film, my shutter opened, the film was exposed, and an image was born. There was very little latitude with film. You either got it right or your negs would be thin or bullet proof. It was nerve-racking waiting for the film to process, but that was part of the excitement. Today film is hot again. Students and hipsters are all shooting with it. I want my photos to look the same as they did in 1977, so I shoot film too. Especially black and white Tri X. Some of my younger subjects today have never seen a roll of film before!
Do you take time to compose your shots or do you just fire away?
Both. Depends on what I am trying to achieve. I like to compose a photo, but that is not my original 70's style which was just shooting from the hip. Today you see fashion magazines where the photographer has chopped off someone's feet and their eyes are closed. The photos that one photographer would delete is now a double page in French Vogue. It's wild!
It must be great for you to have covered various rock scenes. How was it like to take photos of musicians?
Most of the rock stars who I covered were my heros. Dylan, Bowie, Led Zep, Blondie, Ramones and Queen were all amazing subjects in one way or another. There was a great deal of style going on and the music was amazing. Most of all, I wanted to meet these guys and document it all with my camera. After I got the rhythm down, I figured out how to sell my photos to the magazines and record companies. My best markets were overseas in Europe and Japan. When I was working with a band, they knew that I could service the photos around the world to numerous markets and most importantly, they trusted me.
Looking at your photos, you have captured some rare and intimate moments with your subjects. Do you consider yourself an insider when you're with them rather than someone who just takes their photos from afar?
I am not crazy about the fly on the wall technique. I like to chat up my subjects, maybe a bit of posing and then wait to capture that special moment.
Can you share one of your favorite photos and the story behind it?
The 1976 photo of Bob Dylan backstage at The Roxy with Ronee Blakley is my favorite photo. Of course, it's Dylan. One of my first concert's where I brought my camera was Dylan in 1974. Not only was he a god back then, but I loved his music and most importantly for a photographer, he was a real recluse. He never went out and when he did, he wore his shades and forget about him posing for any kind of photo. He was the Howard Hughes of rock and roll. That evening at The Roxy, Ronee invited me backstage after her set and there he was! He said "hello", shook my hand and told me that I looked just like him! Ronne grabbed him, gave him a hug and without evening asking, he posed for these amazing photographs. All in black and white film and right into my lens. Word spread around the dressing room that a young actor named Robert DeNiro was downstairs and Dylan dispatched Sally Kirkland to drag him up for a meeting and photo. DeNiro could not believe the invitation and there I was right in the middle of it taking the photos. Dylan had me direct the line up which included several of his music pals and he laughed asking me how much money I would make on the photos. I felt that he knew that these photographs had the potential to be a very important moment for my life and career and it was. The photos were my first to be published in People Magazine. Every publicist in town saw the photos and I was now part of the "in crowd".
What's one unusual experience that you had while shooting?
Probably when Robert Plant was kicking a soccer ball in his speedo at my local park in Encino in 1978. He went nuts when he saw me taking photos and he ran right over to me demanding my business card. Business card? What business card, sure I had one, but I was a teenage kid who lived with his parents in Sherman Oaks and after all , this was my park. At the end of the day, I had nothing to lose as I had already been turned down for a photo pass for their week long engagement in L.A. The photos ran absolutely everywhere and I count my lucky stars that I was turned down for that photo pass. Today, no one cares about a photo of Plant singing into a microphone.
If you had a rock group or a musician that you could take a picture of, who would it be and why?
Back in the day, for sure Elvis. Because of his charisma and that recluse factor. Today, John Mayer would be amazing to photograph. I like his music and he has a star quality about himself. I sent a copy of my new coffee table book to his manager, but never heard anything back.
Do you have upcoming photo exhibitions or projects this year?
Yes! June 6 in Basel, at Galerie Eulenspiegel, I have a show opening with my pal, Swiss Pop Artist Marco Pittori. It's a collaboration with Marco working his silk screen magic on my early photographs. It's our second exhibition together. The exhibition is entitled 77 Dreamin.
What's one advice that you can dispense to our readers regarding photography?
Definitely shoot some film. I started that way and I will never give it up entirely. All photography students start with film today. Not only does it make you think about your camera, but it's real. If you are planning on a profession in photography, never give up.
You can follow Brad Elterman on Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook. You can also visit his official website. All photos are from Brad Elterman.
Which of these photos do you like the most? Are there other rock 'n roll photographers that you would like to see featured on the magazine? Leave a comment below!

Talking to Children about September 11th
The September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon left indelible, traumatic images in the minds of Americans, including many of America's children. Here are some basic recommendations from a developmental-behavioral pediatrics perspective to help families deal with their children's experiences of the terrorist attack.
How children understand world events depends, of course, on their age and stage of development. Pre-school aged children won't understand the meaning of the terrorist attacks. They will, however, understand the emotional reaction that adults have and may ask, for instance, why mommy or daddy is crying, sad or upset. School age children can understand that an attack occurred, that 'bad' people flew airplanes into buildings to hurt 'good' people and may ask for reassurance and/or a simple explanation as to why this happened. Pre-adolescents and adolescent aged children may have quite sophisticated responses to the event and want to share complex feelings about personal fears, issues of morality, justice, national and world politics, and so on.
Regardless of stage of development, the first and most important adult response is to reassure children and help them to feel safe and secure. Given what they may have seen on television or read in the news, children need to know that the odds of being harmed by a terrorist action are extremely remote even though it may feel threatening. Children should not be allowed to watch the footage of traumatic events over and over as this can have emotionally traumatic effects or, paradoxically, desensitize children to the horror. An adult attitude that says 'TV was scary but what you saw on TV is not going to happen here. You are safe here at home." will go a long way to helping children feel safe and secure. It's fine for parents to be more certain than they feel.
But, reassurance about safety will not necessarily remove all fears (parents' fears included!). So the second thing parents need to do is find out how their children feel. Children at any age may show how they feel and not be able to talk about it. Their drawings or play might reflect aggressive themes; their sleep might be disturbed and they might have nightmares; they might seem more clingy and insecure. Parents and adult caretakers should be on the lookout for these more indirect expressions of emotional upset. Older children could have similar symptoms of withdrawal, fatigue, change in routine or sleep disturbance but they are more likely to verbally express feelings of fear and insecurity. Simply asking adolescents what they think or how they feel about the terrorist attack and letting them know that it's OK to talk about their feelings any time may bring out further discussion.
So the third thing to do in the aftermath of traumatic events is to make time to discuss the events. Talking about feelings and thoughts will help children understand their feelings. It is wise to let children share their feelings first before parents express opinions. This will open the discussion up. Adults should watch TV on the topic with their children and use the news to broach sensitive topic areas. Discussing the facts and significance of the events and the child's reactions to the events is critical. Discussion of 'why' this happened should once again be geared to the developmental level of the child and should be based on the child's questions. Questions like 'Why do bad things happen to good people?" offer families an opportunity to grapple with one of the most difficult moral questions we face. Young children may simply accept that there are 'bad people' who do bad things. Adolescents will probably want a more in-depth understanding. Exploring what they think first will give adults an entry into the discussion. But some adult editorializing is fine. For instance, older children and adolescents should be told that not all people in a particular group are bad, that lashing out at members of a particular religious or ethnic group will only cause more harm. On the other hand, discussion may turn to the victims. It's natural and normal to feel very sad for those families who lost a loved one in the disaster. As a result of these discussions, there might be a patriotic desire of children to help out by sending allowance money to charities, writing letters of support to those who suffered at 'ground zero', etc. By addressing questions, issues and concerns and encouraging constructive actions children learn that they can understand and cope with adversity.
Ironically, out of disaster may come closeness, compassion, coping and even wisdom. When parents and other adults sensitively respond to their children about the events of September 11th, children can learn that that life is precious and sadness a natural response to other people's losses; that all their feelings matter and they are not alone; that there are ways to understand and cope even with horrifying events; and that they can regain a feeling of safety in times of national threat.

Tisch has a huge bicycle parking lot, I think I'm gonna try locking up there. If not, I'm sure there's plenty of other spots. Are you taking the Greenway? That's always awesome to bike.
Not doing the WillyB, though I used to when I lived in Bushwick. I'll be taking the Manhattan. Tried the Brooklyn Bridge, utter pedestrian chaos.

How OMICs Is Going to Impact Research Topics for Medical Physicists
J O Deasy1*, O Gevaert2*, H Aerts3*, (1) Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, (2) Stanford University, (3) Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard UniversityMO-D-WAB-1 Monday 2:00PM - 3:50PM Room: Wabash Ballroom
The ongoing revolution in genomics provides many new research opportunities for physicists. Two crucial research areas to advance clinical oncology include the intersections between imaging and genomics, as well as the use of genomic analyses to improve patient management in radiation oncology. Confusingly, the term 'radiogenomics' is used for both applications. In the field of radiology, 'radiogenomics' refers to the underlying genomic correlates of image features, for example the correlation of tumor biopsies mRNA microarray signatures with image features. In radiation oncology and radiobiology, the term 'radiogenomics' refers to the impact of a patient's genotype on the relative radiosensitivity or radioresistance of normal tissues. Tumor biopsy mRNA signatures, for radiosensitivity, hypoxia, or proliferation, have been studied to predict response and to potentially individualize treatments. Blood proteomics has been applied to normal tissue responses such as radiation pneumonitis. Imaging radiogenomics can further be thought of as 'radiomics' + genomics, where radiomics is the extraction of quantitative image features that can be incorporated into disease classification schemes or predictive models. We will also touch on the general application of systems modeling that is so important to advancement in modern biology and response modeling. This session will emphasis new opportunities, as well as challenges and obstacles to progress. 'Omic' sciences will greatly impact the study and clinical use of tumor control probability and normal tissue complication probability models; the biological interpretation of image features; and the clinical implications of imaging and cancer screening.

Psychic healing & mediumship
looking into the explinations of Psychic healing & mediumship
- Created by: Chee Wai Chan
- Created on: 26-01-11 14:53
Support for Psychic healing (AO1)
Psychic healing - AKA mental healing, spiritual healing, faith healing, divine healing, miracle healing, laying on of hands or therapeutic touch (TT). It is claimed that these healers can sense a 'aura' to attempt to cure people, they may lightly touch the patient of now touch them at all. The healers claim to be able to replace the 'bad' aura/energy with good aura/energy.
Wirth (1990) gathered some patients with wounds, covered their eyes and had therapeutic touch (TT) preformed on some, and not on others. By covering their eyes the placebo effect was removed. Those who received TT healed faster than those who hadn't.
Cha et al (2001) found infertile women who received prayer from strangers were twice as likely to get pregnant.
Psychic healing (AO2)
Wirth's been criticized as he failed to replicate his own study and some scientists who wanted to discuss his study with him have been unable to contact him (e.g. Solfvin et al (2005)).
Flamm (2004) has also criticized the power of prayer, as a author withdrew his name, so he was no longer involved with the study. Wirth has also been convicted of criminal fraud and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment. Cha has also been convicted of plagerism.
Rosa et al's experiment was published in the reputable journal of the American Medical Association. The publication shows that it went through a a long peer review process and was found to be reliable by many psychologists of the field.
TT only seems to be effective in believers. There is not information on relapse rates and no support to show TT has any long lasting effect, suggesting the initial'improvement' is part of the placebo effect.
Criticism of Psychic healing (AO1)
Lyvers et al (2006) had 20 volunteers with chronic back pain and split them into 2 groups, a treatment group and control group. The treatment group had a psychic focus on a picture of them, to try and reduce the pain, the control group were told the same thing, but the control group didn't actually have anyone 'healing' them. The level of pain before and after the healing was recorded using McGill's pain questionnaire and there was no overall reduction in pain in either group. There is a positive correlation between belief in psychic healing and pain reduction, showing belief plays a key role in the pain reduction and evidence for the placebo effect.
Rosa et al, a 9 year old girl designed a experiment that was involved a number of TT healers, requiring them to detect if she had her hand under the left or right of the TT healers hand without looking (they should be albe to detect the 'aura' from her hand). The TT healers put their hand through a cardboard box and under a towel so they couldn't see. Many volunteered, and they preformed worse than chance.
Psychic mediumship
Psychic mediumship - The claim to be able to communicate with the dead.
Survival hypothesis - The claim that we survive after death and can communicate with the living.
Skeptical hypothesis - The theory that mediums' messages are general and can be applied to anyone.
Support for psychic mediumship (AO1)
Schwartz et al (2001) had 5 mediums do readings on 2 women (one of the women had 2 readings, the other 3 readings). Both women were over 40 and had experienced a number of deaths recently (unknown to the mediums). When the readings were being done the mediums did not see the women and the women could only answer yes or no. The women judged the statements as 83% and 77% accurate. Undergraduates judged the statements as 36% accurate. The mediums preformed well above chance. this supports the survival hypothesis.
Robertson and Roy (2001) 44 receptients received readings from 10 mediums, 407 didn't receive readings. The 407 non-recipients were given the readings to rate if the readings could be applied to them. A system was developed based mathematical probability (Robertson-Roy protocol) to see how many readings were accurate. The hit rate of the recipients were significantly higher than the non-recipient group, supporting the survival hypothesis.
Criticism of psychic mediumship (AO2)
O'Keefe and Wiseman (2005) - Had 5 mediums and 5 sitters, each medium did 5 readings (1 for each sitter). the 5 sitters were given all 25 readings and were asked to rate the accuracy of the readings. The readings specific to the sitter was rated with the lowest accuracy, supporting the skeptical hypothesis.
There is also evidence that mediums can pick up information from the sitter, by their tone of voice and reply given to questions. The medium always starts with a general statement about the person and slowly draw out information. Students rate the statements as less accurate because the statements are usually aimed at older women.

A Winter Wonderland of Fun That's All About Kids
Posted by Jennifer Fieten, Child Life Specialist
A little girl giggles with uncontrollable excitement at seeing Santa walk down the stairs...
A pre-teen boy anxiously awaits as the announcer calls the next Bingo card selection...
And, a toddler smiles as she clutches her newly acquired baby doll...
What do all of these things have in common? The annual JourneyCare All About Kids Program Holiday Party! With the theme of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland," nearly 200 children and their families from our All About Kids palliative care and hospice program were recently treated to food, fun, presents, and a special visit from Santa at the Stonegate Banquet and Conference Centre in Hoffman Estates.
Instead of medications and treatments, kids were able to just be kids for an afternoon of celebration and fellowship with other families experiencing similar journeys. It was about creating memories that will last a lifetime, and making every moment count.
JourneyCare's All About Kids Program strives to do just that by hosting multiple events throughout the year to give pediatric patients and their families opportunities to socialize and create these memories with one another and with members of their JourneyCare team.
This can be priceless for children diagnosed with a serious illness and undergoing medical treatments. As a child life specialist, I know firsthand that these children enjoy socializing, playing, and going out of the home with their families. This point can never get lost in all of the medical care being provided.
I once had a patient thank JourneyCare for seeing beyond physical appearances and acknowledging that he has a good life despite what others might think. Our special pediatric events create an environment where the children and families can feel accepted and understood; one where they can sit back and enjoy their families and meet other families with like experiences.
Members of the Barrington Noon Rotary contributed to the event for the fourth consecutive year and assisted JourneyCare team members and JourneyCare teen and adult volunteers with various activities, which included dessert and snow globe decorating and a special reading of the How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Each child was able to visit with Santa and have a family picture taken. For each family, Santa brought gifts of toys and games, courtesy of Toys for Tots. We thank everyone for their support.
View pictures of the holiday party.

Yes, he's set to make a film about the religion that everyone in the limelight is shouting about, and if the source material is anything to go by then this just might be something more than a fad exploiting movie.

In addition to the staple fare of the journal (scholarly articles and book reviews) we want to broaden the focus of the journal to include wide-ranging reviews of American cinema, music, art and other cultural forms. We also want to include spaces for comment and reply so that developments in American culture can be highlighted and discussed as they are happening rather than retrospectively.
Unsurprisingly our aim is academic excellence (and all our articles are refereed), but what we also seek is relevance and readership. We want articles that are credible in terms of the research assessment exercise but we also want to build a journal that undergraduates, postgraduates and academics from a range of disciplines find truly useful and interesting.
In detail our aims might be defined as:-
Through the publication of long articles (circa 6,000-8,000 words), to facilitate the academic study of all aspects of American culture, both modern and historical, particularly in newer fields of academic enquiry such as film and new media. Articles may approach their particular subject matter from one discipline or from several.Through the publication of shorter comments and responses, to foster academic debate about on-going developments in modern American culture.Through the publication of reviews, to review current scholarship within the broad field of American culture, both modern and historical.
Our principles are:-
To paraphrase Jefferson's words 'all men [and women] are created equal' and that academic excellence does not reside solely within the ranks of established scholars. We are willing to consider articles from all sections within the academic community, and from beyond it.To be neither pro-American or anti-American in our editorial direction.To value the European perspective on American culture. European culture has fostered the development of American culture, which in turn has fostered the development of a global culture in which Europe is enmeshed.
All articles submitted should be original work and must not be under consideration by other publications.
Journal contributors will receive a free PDF copy of their final work upon publication. Print copies of the journal may also be purchased by contributors at half price.

Nearly a dozen new Instagram features were added in 2016, which means businesses have to step up their marketing game even more. Learning all the Instagram hacks, both secret and obvious, can make you a power user on the app.
As more people flock to the visual app, brands continue to look for new ways to entertain users and get more followers on Instagram. But it's not just about the follower count–instead, brands have to learn how to successfully engage and interact with people on Instagram.
Because when your brand can pull it off, Instagram suddenly turns into a serious traffic funnel and brand awareness tool. It's time to take it up a notch by learning these 12 Instagram hacks to become a well-rounded social media marketer:
1. Reorder & Prioritize Instagram Filters
With 40 different Instagram filters to use on your photos and videos, it's tough to remember your favorites. Typically brands should stick to a limited amount of Instagram filters to ensure there's cohesion across your content. Mixing up too many filters can seem clunky and unprofessional.
Instead, try using Instagram's filter management button to not only prioritize your best filters, but delete the ones your brand doesn't need. Simply scroll through the end of the filters after you choose your content and click the gear manage box.
Easily drag and drop your favorite filters to the top of the list and uncheck any others you don't want on your Instagram. While this trick might seem a little obvious and mundane, it actually saves you a ton of time and increases collaboration efforts between team members.
Make sure your team only publishes with the correct filters by managing and editing them in the app.
2. Hide Your Hashtags
By now you should know that hashtags and Instagram are the perfect pair. Not only do hashtags help spread awareness, but they can sincerely get your audience engaged. One of the most popular ways to get people engaged is through branded hashtags.
In fact, 7 out of 10 hashtags are branded on Instagram. But that doesn't mean you always have to use just branded hashtags. However, some of the general hashtags can be a little boring for users and many brands have simply hidden their unbranded hashtags to avoid taking up too much real estate. Easily hide your additional hashtags by adding a second comment with the tags or by following these steps:
- Click the 123 button on your mobile keyboard (iOS).
- Click return and add either a period, dash or bullet.
- Hit return again and repeat the process a few times to hide your message (Instagram hides after three).
Once you've used a few branded and non-branded hashtags, use an Instagram analytics tool like Sprout Social to easily track, monitor and benchmark your company's hashtags.
3. Receive Notifications from Competitor Content
Brands should always measure their efforts against the competition to know what's working and things that could improve. Using social media competitive analysis truly gives you an advantage to increase the quality of content and better reach your core audience.
For brands on Instagram, it's smart to see what type of content your competitors publish on a regular basis. Then you can choose which methods could work for your brand and help build inspiration for future posts.
To set up notifications of a specific user, simply go to one of their posts and click the three dots in the top right. From there, click Turn On Post Notifications to receive immediate alerts.
You do have to allow notifications on your mobile device to receive the alerts, so check your settings first. Additionally, you can adjust your notifications to only come from those you follow to limit the noise of your notifications.
Go to your profile, click settings and then Push Notification Settings to select how you receive updates.
4. Make Your Bio Link Dynamic
You get one clickable link in your Instagram account, but you can change it as many times as you please. Instead of using your home page URL and never touching it again, use the link in your bio to promote your latest content or special promotions.
Create a post (or a series of posts) on Instagram with a call to action for people to click the link in your bio for more information. This is perfect for running special promotions, preparing customers for a product launch or new feature to your site.
Instagram hacks like this make it easier to measure social media traffic to specific pages from the platform. And to make sure your links are simple and trackable, use UTM tracking parameters or a link shortener like Bit.ly.
Another great way to use the link in your bio is to gather email subscribers. You can split test different landing pages and offers to see which gives you the best results.
5. Regram & Tag Influencers
Sharing content from other users is a great way to build relationships on social media. Twitter has Retweets. Pinterest has Repins. Instagram has regramming. However, Instagram doesn't have a built-in feature to regram posts by other users. But that doesn't mean it's not possible.
Sprout Social's mobile app now has regramming features that make it absolutely simple. Just copy the post link from the native platform to your clipboard, open Sprout's app, schedule or post immediately and add your caption. It's that easy.
There are other Instagram apps such as Websta and Repost for Instagram too. These apps let you repost photos and videos from other users without having to take screenshots or needing to crop the image.
When you repost another user's photo, make sure you tag them in the caption so they receive a notification and also to credit the original source. This practice of user-generated content creates long lasting relationships and helps increase engagement among other users.
6. Geotag Content for Higher Engagement
To get your content in front of a larger audience, it's smart to geotag your images and videos. Users commonly scope tagged locations to follow other people in the same area. By tagging multiple areas with your various content, you spread out your social casting net.
In fact, Instagram posts with a geotag receive almost 80% more engagement than non-tagged content. However, this doesn't mean you should tag a bunch of random locations that don't make sense to users.
Try to tag locations where the content belongs, but don't just limit to your main headquarters. It's also smart to create a custom location for users to check in when they're near or at your business. If you don't have a custom tag, follow these steps:
- Switch to your mobile Facebook app and click Check In on a new post.
- From here, start typing your specific custom location in the Where Are You? field.
- Once your location is correctly set, click add to create the location and select an appropriate category to your brand.
- Lastly, insert an address to your location by clicking Home and entering an address.
Your custom location will populate anytime users search for your brand. Make sure you encourage users to start using the location 24 hours after you create the address.
7. Insert Line Breaks in Your Bio & Captions
Have you ever scrolled through your Instagram feed and noticed a post with an extremely long caption, without any line breaks? Chances are you kept scrolling without giving it a second look.
Huge blocks of text on Instagram are difficult to read and skim. Luckily, there's an Instagram hack that lets you turn that ugly text block into organized paragraphs. For Android users, tap the return button on the mobile keyboard to create line breaks. But for iOS users, you have to write your content in a different app.
Don't worry, it's still extremely easy to do. Go to your Notes app and type the full bio or Instagram caption there. Then copy the text and paste it into the appropriate field on the app. Any line breaks you add will show up in the post. The end result is a caption that's a lot easier on the eyes and has a better chance of being read.
If you're using an Instagram scheduling tool like Sprout, click Compose and add your image and text. If you're working with a larger social media team, you can select the publisher and send for approval.
After the content is approved, you'll receive a link at your scheduled time to easily transfer the content to Instagram's native app. To learn more on how to schedule Instagram posts, read here.
8. Resize Photos for Instagram
Do you have a photo that you took a while back that would be perfect for Instagram? Don't just rush to post it.
First, make sure that it's sized and correctly cropped. You can do this manually by cropping your pictures to fit Instagram's dimensions, but a better solution is to use Landscape.
Landscape is our free tool that resizes your photos to fit perfectly on Instagram and other social networks.
First, upload the picture you want to resize, and select the social networks you want to upload to.
Then choose the size you want your image to be.
Finish it off by cropping your picture to get the right look, and you're all set!
If you have photos you took a while back with a digital camera and want to share them on Instagram, this hack will make sure you don't lose quality when you upload it.
9. Quickly Add a Border In the App
One of the most important Instagram best practices to follow is making eye-catching content for your users. You don't have to be a professional photographer to ensure your brand follows visual guidelines.
Some users prefer to add borders to their content to make the post stand out in the feed. But doing this is a bit tricky. Follow these steps to quickly add a border to your image:
- Select your image and click next.
- Once you choose your filter, click the filter again to get to a new window.
- Click the small box to the right to add a border to your image.
- Click the check mark once you're finished to move forward.
Again, this is a simple but effective Instagram hack to give your photos a unique look in users' feeds.
10. Find Influencers to Connect With Through BuzzSumo
Doing outreach on Instagram is a great way to grow your audience. The mistake a lot of people make is reaching out to the top tier accounts with a much larger following. Instead, try to find influencers that have similar audiences to your own.
You don't need celebrities or major athletes, but instead Instagram power users who have engaged audiences. You can connect with influencers by searching for them through BuzzSumo. Simply enter the keyword or your industry and select what type of influencers to connect to.
Connect with them on Instagram to hopefully not only increase your audience size, but slowly build relationships in the future. Don't add a person and immediately ask for help on a co-marketing effort right away.
This will just seem spammy and likely lead you to an unfollow. Try to engage with users for awhile so they recognize your brand and then propose a collaboration. Professionalism can do wonders for your brand on Instagram.
11. Know the Best Times to Post to Instagram
Finding the best times to post on social media doesn't have to be a guess in the dark. We recently broke down the best times to post for each social media channel to help brands reach their core audience.
Some of the findings showed that Instagram has its own unique publishing times, so take note of the results here:
- It's much safer to post between Tuesday through Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for engagement./li>
- The least amount of engagement in the week tends to fall on Sundays.
- Wednesday at 3 p.m., Thursday at 5 a.m., 11 a.m., and 3 to 4 p.m. and Friday at 5 a.m are the best times to post.
- Tuesday is the best day to post in the week.
With the Instagram algorithm change, it's harder to reach your core demographics. Following these posting times could give you a bit of an advantage to hitting your audience at a more optimal time.
12. Manage Multiple Instagram Accounts
If you have more than one aspect of your business, you may need to add another account. For example, a major company like Target has its original company account and a Fashion profile to highlight its clothing department.
Whatever the case is for having multiple accounts, you have to manage them correctly. You can do this on Instagram by doing the following:
- Go to your Instagram profile and click settings.
- Find Add Account near the bottom and insert the username and password of the second account.
- Access additional account through your account name and arrow at the top of your profile.
At the same time, users can gain helpful insights and data on each of their profiles by using an Instagram management tool. With Sprout, you can connect, manage, analyze and even schedule posts from our single-stream software.
Having the ability to access user information and post scheduling capabilities on the fly can make all the difference for your business. Stay on top of your accounts and track key metrics through Sprout Social today!

Virat Kohli, winning skipper: Very pleased. Another convincing win for us and I thought the guys really got stuck in, with the bat, with the ball and on the field as well. It was a complete performance from us which was important to put together after the last game. Only one team had the pressure of losing the series right from the start and that was South Africa. We knew that a few mistakes and we'd be right back in the game. Right from the third Test in Jo'burg it has been a great time for us. We've been playing some really good cricket and it has been a collective effort from the team-mates, the support staff and everybody; feels wonderful to be 4-1 up. When three guys at the top are playing well and scoring consistently, every now and then you get an opportunity where you might not click, and when this series is wrapped up we'll look to think about what we can do to improve and strengthen as we move forward. Every team has a vision of the 2019 World Cup and that's what we need to plan for, but for now 4-1 seems great and we'll look to wrap it up well. We want to win 5-1 for sure, that doesn't change, but there'll be a chance for others to step in as well. The first priority is to win and we'll do anything to do that again.
Rohit Sharma, MoM: It was a long time coming (smiles). I had a good time in the middle; as the game went on the wicket got slower and slower and it wasn't easy. Had fun in the middle and it is always a good feeling when you score a hundred and your team wins the match. We stuck to our plans and am glad it came off. You've got to keep yourself mentally fit. South Africa is a good place to play cricket and I try to keep myself in the right frame of mind and it paid off. I knew I didn't have to change a lot and the runs would come. I kept doing the same things off the field, I kept hitting the ball well and the confidence was there that I would score. We were in a spot of bother when I got to my century and that's why the celebrations were low key. What was important for me was to bat long and get the team to a good score and am glad we came out hard and defended it. When you get in you've got to make it count and unless you play a bad shot you don't really get out. The top three get the most number of balls to play and you have to make it count. The rest of guys put in the runs in the last few games and it was my day today.

Some good front yard designs include different types of gardens, native style grasses and plants, or outdoor living arrangements. Often people overlook the potential of the front yard as a viable design element to enhance the home.
Traditionally, flower gardens have been one of the most popular options for front yard designs. However, according to Houzz.com, many people are now opting to utilize front yard space for vegetable gardens.
Depending on taste, native style grasses and plants are an attractive way to line a walkway. Since these plants are usually quite voluminous, they're effective in creating a barrier to keep people from walking on other yard areas. In addition, arranging a seating area in the front yard is an enjoyable and practical design element to incorporate.

Local broadband internet provider Inter-touch announced today that it had beaten major US competitors to secure a 120,000-room deal with global hospitality giant Bass Hotels & Resorts.
Inter-touch's president and CEO, Terence Nickolls, said the deal was the largest ever signed for guestroom internet technology outside North America, and was a great export win for an Australian company.
He said that Inter-touch was now the world's largest provider of broadband internet access services to the hospitality industry, with the number of hotel rooms contracted by the company now standing at 150,000 in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin American regions.
"The contract with Bass validates our global position and our rapid growth and development," Nickolls said.
Under the agreement, signed in Atlanta in the US, Inter-touch has secured preferred vendor status to provide its in-room broadband internet services and advanced e-commerce platforms at Bass Hotels & Resorts, with brand names including Inter-Continental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express, and Staybridge Suites by Holiday Inn. Installation at several Bass properties has already commenced with the full rollout scheduled to be completed within two years.
Meanwhile, local investment bank The Harrington Partnership has just completed a major foray into investment banking and advisory services in the People's Republic of China.
This follows the structuring of a deal to launch Internet Enterprises, a Hong Kong-based e-commerce investment company established to pursue "promising" e-commerce joint ventures in China in the media, marketing and travel sectors. The company has already struck its first deal, a joint venture with Guangdong-based China Travel Services, to establish a major online travel services company in China.
Geoff Baker, the managing director of The Harrington Partnership, referred to the deal as a "breakthrough" and said Australian companies needed to take urgent action on e-commerce investment opportunities currently available in Asia. "To be a viable internet or e-commerce company, you must have an Asian growth strategy or you will miss out on a massive expanding market," he said.
"Right now, we have the opportunity to beat our American and European competitors in this sector because they are playing in their own booming markets. But Australian companies need to act more quickly to capture e-commerce opportunities in Japan, South Korea and China."
Hoping to play a role is Dr Paul Twomey, former CEO of the Australian National Office of the Information Economy (NOIE), who today announced the formation of Argo P@cific, a high-level international advisory and investment firm to help companies build global internet and technology businesses.
Twomey, who is working with Ira Magaziner, former domestic policy adviser to US president Bill Clinton, said that while Australia was one of the leading producers of innovative products and companies, these companies often lack the international contacts necessary for building globally successful businesses.
"Many Australian companies, particularly IT-based organisations, are undervalued due to a perceived lack of global links and opportunities for their businesses," he said.
Argo P@cific's aim is to remove this barrier and provide these companies with the opportunity to build strong Asia-Pacific and global strategies from an Australian base.

I believe that the 2005 Sensenbrenner-King Border Protection, Anti-terrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act is a good piece of legislation because it is blatantly obvious that we have serious issues with having illegal immigrants crossing our borders all the time, even though it really doesn't make the mainstream media.
I believe the fence that would target the area with the largest amount of illegal immigrants crossing the border would be somewhat of an deterrent, but especially liked the fact that this would do away with " catch and release" because of lack of intake resources for illegal immigrants.
I also appreciate that there is stipulation for employers and DHS to report the number of illegal immigrants that have crossed our borders.
The 2005 Sensenbrenner-King Border Act was a incomplete legislation, which is why we continue to have immigration debates to this day. Firstly, many argue it did not do enough to fund border patrols and keep the border between Mexico and the US properly secured. Also, it left in legal limbo the fate of 11 million undocumented workers and failed to address some of the concerns of that community (such as the dreamers -- kids born here in the US while illegal immigrants were here).
