Or saying nice words, thinking in a way and acting in a different one depending on a situation?
--- What do I mean?
Some exchange pleasantries, compliments, encouragements and you are convinced they are nice people until you find out that they are just playing a game.
--- Is this a bad thing?
Not necessarily. If you are nice to someone because you think that person needs more attention, it's most definitely a good thing, even if you don't exactly believe what you're saying. Just being nice for the desire to encourage someone who's having a bad day/period.
--- What about being nice JUST because you want something from a specific person?
Let's take for example a work environment where there are competitions going on every single minute. Some people are more ambitious than others, some want more power, fame, money.
One day they treat each other as enemies, next day, they are besties.
One day you don't even speak one to each other, the only time you speak is at a back of a person. Say nasty words, make odious remarks, repulsing statements. Then, the person who was a negative protagonist just a second ago transforms in a great person because you NEED something from her/him.
That person notices your change in behaviour, doesn't know how to react. Sometimes these people will treat you right and will give you the help you seek or the thing you ask for. Sometimes they will do it because they are also looking for something which could be friendship or just being liked.
There are cases when these people will forgive your disgraceful behaviour over and over again just because they genuinely care about you.
The risk is to lose a friend or a good person forever because some will get sick and tired of your continuous requests without giving anything in exchange.
--- But you wouldn't care, would you?
Will find someone else to use, again and again, and again until, maybe, one day you'll realise that what you are doing is not quite right nor fair, but it will be MAYBE too late.
Some will never find out who they really are and how they treat others. (long story, next post)
I really dislike this kind of behaviour, but is just HUMAN NATURE.
I behaved like that a few times and I hate it with all my heart. I felt small and ugly inside. Swore I'll stay away from these kinds of things and being nice with everyone ALL THE TIME instead. Without hidden purposes. Always and with everyone.
Just nice with everyone all the time. Good and bad. Is such a great feeling.
Sometimes being nice repays, some other times you'll pass for a full. Some will take you for granted and if one day you're down, because you're having problems as every single person in this world, they will come and reproach you of being absent and not nice.
You cry inside and feel used, but then you go back of being nice because it is always better than being mean. It makes you feel HUMAN.

Teacher's versions of science textbooks commonly include the answers to problems, as well as additional notes to assist the teacher in presenting the material to the class. These editions also sometimes prove useful for homeschooling parents and students looking for additional practice problems or to verify their understanding of material.
Using a teacher's edition of a science textbook may constitute academic dishonesty, depending on the instructor's or the school's policies, so it is important to check with the teacher before obtaining a copy of one. As long as referencing the teacher's version is not against the classroom rules, it can be a valuable study tool that allows students to check their answers to practice problems to make sure they understand the material correctly. Some teacher's versions also provide detailed explanations of the answers, which are useful when students are unsure of how to approach a particular problem.

Phase III Clinical Trial for Effect Early Oral Feeding on Recovery After Resection of Gastric Cancer
Most patients who undergo gastric resection for gastric cancer have maintained going on a
fast of over three days after operation. Surgeons have believed that early oral feeding
might worsen patients' condition by prolonged postoperative ileus. Therefore, patients
received nothing by oral route until resolution of the ileus. However, the current trend
toward minimal operative injury and early discharge from hospital. In addition, development
of operative technique and instrument make the operation time to be short and the patients
to be fast recovery, and thus it is possible to feed early in less than two days after
operation. The aim of this study is to determine whether early oral feeding after curative
resection for gastric cancer would be tolerable and give an effect on the recovery.
We collect fifty-eight patients for this study and divide into two groups using
randomization method. In the early feeding group, patients will receive the liquid diet two
day after operation followed by soft diet postoperative three day. Meanwhile, the patients
who categorized into control group will start the liquid diet postoperative four day
followed by soft diet postoperative six day. We evaluate the morbidity or mortality rate and
laboratory findings. Of course, it is supposed to be same in amount of fluid and calories
between two groups.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Frankie Landau-Banks at age 14: Debate Club. Her father's "bunny rabbit." A mildly geeky girl attending a highly competitive boarding school. Frankie Landau-Banks at age 15: A knockout figure. A sharp tongue. A chip on her shoulder. And a gorgeous new senior boyfriend: the supremely goofy, word-obsessed Matthew Livingston. Frankie Landau-Banks. No longer the kind of girl to take "no" for an answer. Especially when "no" means she's excluded from her boyfriend's all-male secret society. Not when her ex-boyfriend shows up in the strangest of places. Not when she knows she's smarter than any of them. When she knows Matthew's lying to her. And when there are so many, many pranks to be done. Frankie Landau-Banks, at age 16: Possibly a criminal mastermind. This is the story of how she got that way. (Publisher)
I LOVED this book - I picked it up, expecting a story for 12 year olds....but I couldn't put it down and ended up finishing it in one day. It was funny, the main character, Frankie, is impressive and it made me want to go to boarding school...... In a word, I was 'gruntled'....(you will have to read the book to find out what this means!)
Rating - I give this 4/5 GREAT!!

Risks of Diabetes - Causes, Symptoms,diet, statistics , complications and treatment. How many people have diabetes.
Diabetes is a big concern these days, mainly because so many of us either have it or are at risk for getting it There are two types of Diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and occurs when the body does not produce insulin which is necessary for the body to be able to use sugar.
Type 2 diabetes is more common and happens when the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin or can't use the insulin it does produce. The biggest risk factor for getting Type 2 diabetes is being obese (around 20% over your ideal body weight) since you force your pancreas to work overtime.
More and more are getting Diabetics every year. According to 2007 National Diabetes Fact Sheet, US.
- 17.9 million people are diagnosed with diabetics
- 57 million people have pre-diabetes
-1.6 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in people aged 20 years and older each year.
Prevalence of diabetes
Under 20 years of age
- 0.22% of all people in this age group have diabetes
- About 1 in every 400 to 600 children and adolescents has type 1 diabetes
- About 2 million adolescents aged 12-19 have pre-diabetes
Age 20 years or older
- 10.7% of all people in this age group have diabetes
Age 60 years or older
- 23.1% of all people in this age group have diabetes
- 11.2% of all men aged 20 years or older have diabetes and 10.2% of all women aged 20 years or older have diabetes
Race and ethnic differences
- 6.6% of non-Hispanic whites
- 7.5% of Asian Americans
- 11.8% of non-Hispanic blacks
- 10.4% of Hispanics
Heart Disease and Stroke
In 2004, heart disease was noted on 68% of diabetes-related death certificates among people aged 65 years or older.
High blood pressure
In 2003–2004, 75% of adults with self-reported diabetes had blood pressure greater than or equal to 130/80 mmHg, or used prescription medications for hypertension.
• Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness among adults aged 20–74 years.
Kidney disease
• Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, accounting for 44% of new cases in 2005.
Nervous system disease (Neuropathy)
• About 60% to 70% of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of nervous system damage.
• More than 60% of nontraumatic lower-limb amputations occur in people with diabetes.
Eye complications
People with diabetes are at increased risk for eye complications. Most people with diabetes will get some form of retinopathy, a disorder of the retina. Keep your risk of glaucoma, cataracts and other eye problems low with regular checkups.
Foot complications
People with diabetes can develop many different foot problems like Neuropathy and Skin Changes in the foot. Calluses occur more often and build up faster on the feet of people with diabetes. Poor circulation (blood flow) can make your foot less able to fight infection and to heal. Many people with diabetes have artery disease, which reduces blood flow to the feet.
One of the biggest threats to your feet is smocking. Smoking affects small blood vessels. It can cause decreased blood flow to the feet and make wounds heal slowly. A lot of people with diabetes who need amputations are smokers.
How to avoid Diabetes ?
Two main ways to avoid Diabetes is healthy food and regular exercies. Eating well-balanced meals is an essential part of taking better care of your self. Prevent type 2 diabetes by getting and staying active.
Healthy Food
- Eat lots of vegetables and fruits.
- Eat non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, carrots, broccoli or green beans with meals.
- Choose whole grain foods over processed grain products.
- Include dried beans (like kidney or pinto beans) and lentils into your meals.
- Include fish in your meals 2-3 times a week.
- Choose lean meats like cuts of beef and pork that end in "loin" such as pork loin and sirloin. Remove the skin from chicken and turkey.
- Choose non-fat dairy such as skim milk, non-fat yogurt and non-fat cheese.
- Choose water and calorie-free "diet" drinks instead of regular soda, fruit punch, sweet tea and other sugar-sweetened drinks.
- Choose liquid oils for cooking instead of solid fats
- Cut back on high calorie snack foods and desserts like chips, cookies, cakes, and full-fat ice cream.
Regular exercises is very important for a person with Diabetes. It helps control sugar level, weight loss and blood pressure.
There are two types of exercises
1. Aerobic exercise: Aerobic exercises inlcude walking brickly, cycling, dancing, swimming, jogging or some team sports. The main idea is to do steady exercise over a period of time that makes the body takes more oxygen.
2. Anerobic exercise : It consists of short burst of energy that work one part of the body at a time eg. weight lifting.
Both types of exercises are essential. For maximum benifit , aerobic exercises should be done 3-4 times in a week 20 minutes each time.
Herbal Medicine
Indians have a long history of using herbal medicines to cure diseases. Their ayurvedic medicines are very effective against several diseases.
- Pterocarpus marsupium (Indian Kino, Malabar Kino, Pitasara, Venga)
The tree is the source of the Kino of the European pharmacopeas. The gum-resin looks like dried blood (Dragon's blood), much used in Indian medicine. This herb has a long history of use in India as a treatment for diabetes.
- Bitter Melon
Bitter melon is composed of several compounds with confirmed anti-diabetic properties.
Gymnema Sylvestre (Gurmar, Meshasringi, Cherukurinja)
Onion and Garlic ( Allium cepa and Allium sativum)
Onion and garlic have significant blood sugar lowering action. Onion extract was found to reduce blood sugar levels during oral and intravenous glucose tolerance. The additional benefit of the use of garlic and onions are their beneficial cardiovascular effects. They are found to lower lipid levels, inhibit platelet aggregation and are antihypertensive. So, liberal use of onion and garlic are recommended for diabetic patients.
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum)
Blueberry leaves (Vaccinium myrtillus)
A decoction of the leaves of the blueberry has a long history of folk use in the treatment of diabetes.
- Bilberry
Bilberry may lower the risk of some diabetic complications, such as diabetic cataracts and retinopathy.
Stevia has been used traditionally to treat diabetes.
Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo biloba extract may prove useful for prevention and treatment of early-stage diabetic neuropathy.
- Cinnamon - Triples insulin's efficiency. Remember, this is an integral part of most of the Indian currys.
I am not an expert in Ayurvedic medicine. But I believe there are several books out there describing the dosage of these herbal medicines

Yep. Let's pretend this five month delay never happened.
New things happening in my kitchen: the baking edition
I was asked to make cookies for a friend's "we got married so let's have some people over and not call it a reception because it's not a reception but it's a reception" party. I made three dozen classic chocolate chip (from this recipe which has never failed me and which I have ever so slightly adapted) and three dozen cranberry white chocolate chip cookies (using the same dough as a base). I also made three dozen sugar cookies frosted with white royal icing and adorned with the new couple's initials (those took forever but they looked great). I am never quite happy with the taste of sugar cookies but I've tweaked this recipe according to some of the comments and now am pretty satisfied. They always look great though, even if I spend hours frosting them -- the crowd reaction is worth it. Finally, I made some amazing pecan squares from a recipe in the Yellow Farmhouse Cookbook by Christopher Kimball.
I also co-hosted a baby shower for a friend and made most of the food. Here is the menu:
-bruschetta (homemade tomato topping, toasted the bread)
-caprese toasts (with basil picked from my window plant, thus far the hardiest of all my plant projects and still going strong)
-steak bites (marinated in soy sauce/worcestershire/pepper/garlic)
-giant cheese plate (brie, jarlsberg, goat cheese, with dried fruit and crackers and apricot preserves)
-meatballs in marinara sauce (cheated, used frozen meatballs and jarred sauce)
-sliced sausage in BBQ sauce (cheated, cut up some sausage from the store and used bottled sauce)
-pasta salad (pasta, olives, sliced salami and pepperoni, red onion, cherry tomatoes, in a balsamic dressing)
-finger sandwiches (three varieties: cucumber, egg salad, and blt), crusts cut off of course
-mini-wedge salad skewers (iceberg lettuce, cherry tomato, bacon, with a bowl of blue cheese dressing for dipping) (these were a huge hit)
-potato chips with ranch dip
-veggie tray with hummus
-fruit plate
And the desserts:
-mini chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting (cheated, used box cake mix and canned frosting)
-chocolate chip cookies
-cranberry white chocolate chip cookies (people love this flavor combo)
-sugar cookies shaped and frosted like daisies, butterflies, and tulips
-raspberry jam sandwich cookies (used the sugar cookie dough for these)
-a massive cake (I did not make this but it was really really good)
If there's anything this shower taught me, it's that I love cooking for a large crowd. I also love assembly line style baking and a big project. I also hate cleaning up.
That's all for now. More later on recent kitchen adventures, unless I am again afflicted with mysterious amnesia that causes me to forget my fledgling food diary.

Midway files for bankruptcy protection
Sumner Redstone sold majority stake in NovemberVideo gamer Midway said Thursday that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the result of Sumner Redstone having sold his majority stake in the company three months ago at a substantial loss.
That change in ownership, the company said, "triggered accelerated repurchase obligations relating to two classes of Midway debt, which Midway anticipated it would be unable to satisfy.
Midway said the bankruptcy does not include its non-U.S. operations. It also said it expects to run its U.S. business as usual despite the bankruptcy filing.
Midway shares dropped 40% on the news in afternoon trading to about 16 cents. Three years ago, when Redstone was slowly purchasing more than 80% of the company, shares were at north of $10 each.
Midway's economic troubles come despite several hit products, including its "Mortal Kombat" franchise, "TNA iMPACT!" and the "Game Party" franchise.
"This Chapter 11 filing is the next logical step in an ongoing process to address our capital structure," Midway CEO Matt Booty said.
In November, Redstone, executive chairman of both Viacom and CBS, sold his 87% stake in Midway to investor Mark Thomas. Some speculate that the bankruptcy is his first step toward taking the company private.
Midway said in court documents it has $167.5 million in assets and $281 million in liabilities.

The front page has a five column headline: "U. S. CARRIER SUNK IN SOLOMONS" with subheads that include: "DAMAGED SHIP LOST" Carrier Badly Crippled Monday Later Sunk by U.S. Warship" and more with related map. (see) The name of the carrier lost was not known at the time, probably because of military secrecy, but history shows this was indeed the USS Hornet (CV-8). Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.

Today I would like to present to you one of my favourite breakfast (or snack – you can eat it anytime) bowls 🙂 I am not here to tell you the health benefits etc, 1- because I am not sure there are any, and 2- because I am not a nutritionist. All I can tell you is mostly anything which contains grains and fruits, automatically contains lots of carbs and sugar. But honestly, we live once, so try to find a good balance and don't deprive yourself of the joys of life 😉
The bowl I am going to present to you right now is VERY easy and quick to make, and it almost tastes like ice cream (compromises are great, yaaaay!)
I eat it often because I am a sweet tooth, I love fruits (especially berries) and my all time favourite food is ice cream. If you think you have something in common with me you should definitely read this till the end, get up, go buy the ingredients, taste and, if you like it (or not) share your thoughts with me!
All you need are:
- 300g of frozen strawberries (room temperature will not give you that ice cream feeling)
- 100g of white yoghurt (I use a fat free one)
- A drop of milk (dairy or non, whichever you prefer)
- 25g of your favourite Müsli (I used Crunchy Chocolate Müsli from Brüggen) – if you don't want to increase the sugar amount in this recipe leave the müsli out! But it will not be the same 🙂
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Coconut (in chunks or not)
- One tea spoon of Chia
So now that you have everything here is what you need to do:
- Crash the strawberries with a mixer and both the milk and the yoghurt to it, and keep mixing
- Once ready, serve to taste (I tend to overdo on this one) and top with the other ingredients
That´s it.
Easy huh? If you have any comments, or thoughts, don´t hesitate to share below and check out my Instagram account @thepeteway ❤
Lots of Love!

Now a little about my card.
I used the digi version of Nasturtium #2 to create both the card front and the background mat of my reveal card.
To start out, I designed a three panel card front which I printed and then colored with Copic markers. I used the same design for the background. Instead of printing the images out in black ink, I changed the ink color to a light green, increased the size of each panel, and then printed it.
The sentiment, which is part of the set, was printed out onto vellum paper and then heat set with Clear embossing powder. I placed the vellum on top of the colored panel and then framed the entire piece using a die cut from Simon Says Stamp (Stitched Rectangles). Using the Glueless Glitter Technique, Orchid Rose velvet glitter was added to the frame for a big splash of color. The frame was also pop dotted for more visual interest.
A piece of light pink tulle was added for the bottom as the finishing touch.
Your next stop on the blog hop is Shona. Be sure to leave a comment for each designer so you'll be eligible to win each of the six new stamp sets revealed this month. You never know who the Mystery Designer will be.

Ted Kaczynski
The UnabomberDVD - 2007
For years, few people knew the name Theodore Kaczynski. However, the infamous "Unabomber" was widely known as one of the nation's most wanted criminals. From the late '70s to the early '90s, Kaczynski sent dozens of carefully crafted homemade letter bombs to various scientists, engineers, and high-tech professionals across the country, killing three and wounding more than twenty. In this program, FBI agents trace the often-frustrating course of their long and drawn-out investigation, while interviews with Kaczynski's college roommate and a childhood friend help to piece together the profile of a man whose once enviable genius became a dark and twisted monomania.

Vitamin D (calciferol) comprises a group of fat soluble seco-sterols. Two forms are important in humans: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Vitamin D2 is synthesized by plants. Vitamin D3 is synthesized by humans in the skin when it is exposed to ultraviolet B rays from sunlight. Vitamin D is found in a few foods naturally (e.g. fish, eggs, fortified milk, cod liver oil and fortified foods). This seminar aims to provide an update on the scientific understanding of vitamin D in human nutrition, including the various aspects mentioned above. It will provide a forum to discuss gaps in knowledge especially in relation to the needs of the population of this country. It is essential to have a clear assessment of the situation among Malaysians before considering interventions measures.

Antenna Testing using WSPR
Hi folks
We have developed a way of testing antennas using WSPR. It consists of a special WSPR transmitter (WSPRlite) and a website (www.DXplorer.net).
The website is available for anyone to use - you don't need a WSPRlite. It works well on a phone, tablet or desktop. It's a neat and unique way of looking at WSPR data. If you have a beacon running on 160-20 m give it a try with your own callsign. www.DXplorer.net
The antenna testing facilities are supported by our hardware and include a unique simultaneous antenna comparison system.
It's a really simple way to get going with WSPR without tying up your shack computer.
Initial testers really like it - even Joe Taylor is an enthusiastic supporter!

Ever thought of SEO as a game? With a light-hearted D&D flair, this SEO infographic imagines Search Engine Optimization to be a card game. It seems to propose the concept that different search strategies produce different results, and that no matter what strategy you use, there are always pros and cons. From the prestigious white-hat to the infamous con-man, this infographic features 8 individual cards with a humorous spin with the intention of spreading a bit of comical relief among the SEO community.
While definitely not a total bird's eye-view of each type of strategy, the infographic highlights some of the more common types of characters and puts emphasis that nothing will be truly perfect. The infographic sheds to light the divide between genuine marketers and those who seek quick results with minimal effort.
Which card do you think represents you or your friends in the SEO circuit? Have you ever come across anyone who fits the general idea of one of the displayed cards?

jonathon.prevost necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 96 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Our target market is aftermarket powersports enthusiasts. We build shock absorbers for snowmobiles primarily but will be making for many offload applications in the near future. Our customers are hardcore, into racing, and anything with a motor.
Target is 18-55 year old males. We have seen some growth in the female market but that is a very small portion.
Website: http://www.raptorshocks.com/store/
We're looking for whites, blacks, and grays mainly. We do use red sometimes but our products go on a number of color vehicles and we don't want them to clash.
We are open to changes but are also quite happy with current logo font and design. Would be open to the incorporation of raptor claws into the lettering (i.e. the R's).
We need to get something iconic to go with the logo or be a part of the logo. Raptor is for velociraptor dinosaur. Needs to be aggressive, almost scary looking. We want to incorporate a velociraptor skull into the logo somehow. Open to seeing skull portion at different angles(i.e 3/4 view, full front, full side, etc.; see attached examples).
Our largest competitor is Fox Shocks. Their logo is added to the attachments. Their logo is iconic. Been around for decades. Used widely in clothing brand as well. We need something that resonates with customers in the same manner.
Detail: Please keep in mind that the skull needs find a balance in the amount of detail included. The skull will need to apply to a wide range of products (from vehicle wraps to print materials to merchandise/t-shirts, etc.).

|Swedish Massage 60min change
Swedish massage is the most common and best known type of massage involving the use of hands, forearms or elbows during the massage. Long massage strokes follow the direction of blood flow toward the heart to stimulate blood circulation in addiction to relieving muscle tension, increasing circulation, range of motion and enhanced relaxation.
As an added benefit, Swedish Massage improves muscle injury recovery time by speeding up the removal of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. The increased blood circulation carries the toxins away from the tissues to organs such as the kidneys and lungs where they are expelled from the body

Marburg an der Lahn
Marburg grew in the 12th cent. around a castle it was chartered in 1227 and, at intervals during the 13th to 17th cent., served as the residence of the landgraves of Hesse . Marburg became part of the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau in 1866. The castle, which still dominates the picturesque city, was the scene of the famous Marburg Colloquy, held (1529) under the auspices of Philip of Hesse it failed to bring about agreement between Luther and Melanchthon on the one side and Zwingli on the other. St. Elizabeth of Hungary is buried in the fine Gothic church (13th–14th cent.) dedicated to her the remains of Field Marshal Hindenburg and of Frederick William I and Frederick II of Prussia were transferred to the church soon after World War II.

The Kabbalah Centre, a not for profit organization based in Los Angeles, California, was founded in 1965 by Rav Phillip Berg. They're primary mission is to make the study of Kabbalah accessible to all individuals who wish to become spiritually enlightened. In 1922 Rav Yehuda Ashlag set out to bring Kabbalah to all persons and not keep its teachings contained to a narrow population. His beginnings were what led to Rav Berg to create the Kabbalah Centre, and his dream boldly lives on today.
Rav Yehuda Ashlag was a master kabbalist who wanted to take the guarded secrets of kabbalah and bring them to all people who were searching for more meaning and enlightenment. He began providing the knowledge he had mastered and passing down the information to students that would carry it on and expand its accessibility. The Kabbalah Centre became the modern vessel for people to seek out and gain information about the ancient wisdom and quickly became a community that shared in the spiritual insight that kabbalah provides.
Kabbalah has been passed down through generations for thousands of years. Its main focus is acquiring God's designs for the universe. In ancient civilizations, this information had to be sought out by individuals and was taught and practiced in a secretive and obscure manner in oral teachings. Modern day kabbalah works at inspiring everyone to gain knowledge and perspective of God's composition by providing classes and texts. The Kabbalah Centre has traditional brick-and-mortar establishments in more than 40 cities world wide. They also host instructional videos and online classes to help more people become active students of kabbalah.
The Kabbalah Centre has helped to engage thousands of people in the ancient studies of spiritual joy and fullfillment. They have created an open forum for people from all walks of life to learn the mysteries of the universe in which they live in, and feel a stronger connection to it, both inside and out. As time moves forward, the Kabbalah Centre will continue to contribute the knowledge of the spiritual ancestors to all people looking to live a more peaceful life.

The following is a summary with excerpts from Aeon's "A bug for Alzheimer's?" which discusses how microbes may be implicated in a chronic brain disease. It may seem not so relevant to ME/CFS, but CII's own Dr. Mady Hornig discusses the strategies and challenges associated with linking microbiome differences or infections (even infections outside the brain!) to complex brain disorders.
Alzheimer's disease is poorly understood, but the current accepted theory is that it's caused by the build-up of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain. To oversimplify, think of beta-amyloid as a gluey substance that kills off brain cells and eventually leads to the hallmark cognitive problems associated with Alzheimer's. But, new research indicates that the currently-accepted theory of beta-amyloid plaques causing Alzheimer's disease may not be correct.
Robert Moir, a neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, has a newly published theory that has the potential to reshape the way that we think about Alzheimer's and dozens of other diseases. "The Pathogen Hypothesis" as they call it, suggests that "microbes play an important role in Alzheimer's disease and that beta-amyloid plaques are actually soldiers in the body's fight against them – a fight that eventually goes haywire, causing mass brain-cell death." No longer a biological anomaly, the beta-amyloid plaques may be the result of the body fighting against pathogens.
This article (which is not meant to be an exhaustive scientific literature review) mentions pathogens potentially linked or related to Alzheimer's including:
- Lyme Disease
- Chlamydia pneumoniae
- HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus 1)
Now, before anyone jumps to "now we just have to figure out which bacteria/virus causes Alzheimer's, right?", it doesn't appear to be quite that simple. The research suggests less of a direct cause/effect relationship and more of a "triggering the start of a potential cascade" link between infections and Alzheimer's.
"Most proponents of the pathogen hypothesis don't suggest that infections work alone to cause Alzheimer's disease, nor do they think that Alzheimer's can be 'caught' like a cold. They instead argue that infections – perhaps a number of different types – can spark a cascade of events that, over time, can culminate in the disease. 'These microbes might not serve as specific causes, per se, of the disease, but rather as contributors to a degenerative process,' says Mady Hornig, director of translational research at Columbia University's Center for Infection and Immunity." – Melinda Wenner Moyer
Did you catch that? CII's very own Dr. Mady Hornig was interviewed for this article! And, there are takeaways from this Alzheimer's research that will likely resonate with the ME/CFS community.
Science means never having to say you're sorry?
"Considering that the neurodegenerative process that leads to Alzheimer's likely takes years, if not decades, and that it also involves other factors, it is not terribly surprising that the idea has been so difficult to accept. 'We tend to gravitate toward parsimonious answers to complex questions in all walks of life, and our quest to solve the perplexing mysteries of neurodegenerative diseases is perhaps no different,' Hornig explains. 'Tracing the path from an infection to a disease as complex as Alzheimer's requires substantial tolerance for caveats and an appreciation of how factors from the environment, including infections, might lead to different brain outcomes.'" – Melinda Wenner Moyer
The currently accepted model for Alzheimer's disease may not be accurate. And, no one wants to face that. One of the biggest hurdles facing the pathogen hypothesis is that "conceding that the pathogen hypothesis has merit means admitting that the field has been wrong about Alzheimer's for a very long time".
Is anyone in the ME/CFS community nodding along in agreement yet?
Microglial activation
The mechanism behind Alzheimer's is still not fully understood. But, if the latest research is on the right track, there is more to it than just the beta-amyloid plaques we talked about earlier.
"According to the amyloid cascade hypothesis, the brain's accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques is the primary cause of sporadic Alzheimer's disease. By this definition, then, brains overflowing with plaques should have Alzheimer's. But often they don't: postmortem studies show that one-quarter to one-third of non-Alzheimer's-diseased elder brains are filled with amyloid plaques, too.
Interestingly, the behaviour of microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, can in part distinguish these so-called 'resilient' brains from brains that have Alzheimer's. In a 2013 study, researchers at Harvard University analysed 50 brains, some of which came from people who did not have Alzheimer's yet had beta-amyloid plaques. They found that one key difference between the resilient brains and the diseased brains was that the former had much fewer activated microglia." – Melinda Wenner Moyer
We recently reported on a Parkinson's study that discussed this same concept of microglial activation. And yes, this idea of microglial inflammation has been suggested as linked to ME/CFS as well. More research is being done and even more is needed in these areas to better understand how microglial inflammation may or may not impact disease etiology and how we might be able to prevent or reverse it.
Ghost-virus hunting
As mentioned, researchers have found pathogenic links to Alzheimer's in the past but are still sort of at the stage of chasing ghosts. And, if Alzheimer's is actually just the end of the cascade caused by an infection, they may only be looking for the ghosts of an infection from years or decades past!
"'Even a brain biopsy may fail to uncover an agent if it is present at very low levels – under the radar for detection, perhaps because samples are acquired in the wrong brain region or after the acute phase of the infection has resolved – or if it is a novel, unexpected agent,' Hornig explains." – Melinda Wenner Moyer
Yes, pathogen testing has been done in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. As of right now, if a pathogen is responsible for Alzheimer's disease we're likely looking for it in the wrong place or at the wrong time. Even more confounding, if we don't know what we're looking for, as in the case of a previously-unknown pathogen, we might not be able to detect it even if it's right in front of us the whole time!
- New research has linked microbes to Alzheimer's disease
- This doesn't prove that an infection directly causes Alzheimer's, research indicates a more complex path than that
- Breaking through previously-accepted scientific theories and disease models is a battle
- Pathogens are hard to find when we don't already have a test for them, aren't searching during the acute infection period, or aren't looking in exactly the right place.

This book is a comprehensive and stimulating discussion of issues-based geography education in Aotearoa New Zealand. It is an essential read for geography teachers and educators from the wider social sciences.
Geography as a subject gets little attention in curriculum and assessment literature. Seeking to address that gap, the authors - teachers and academic practitioners - have thought deeply about the complexities and limitations of issues-based approaches. This book is not intended to offer strategies for teaching but the voices of teachers and the challenges of classroom practice come through strongly.
Chapters include an exploration of social inquiry methodology here and internationally; the importance of subject-specific literacy in geography classrooms and the role of NGOs in development education.

News from Jamal and Sharon...
Joy and excitement rang through the air recently at The Belize Zoo, as we held a special celebration to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
|BAPDA at The Belize Zoo
The Belize Assembly for Persons with Diverse Abilities, BAPDA, had inquired about celebrating this important day at the Zoo. BAPDA manager, Eva Middleton, organized the early December visit. She had been following the Zoo's progress over the past year, as we have diligently been working to see that this superb facility become accessible to all Belizeans. Rose-coloured pathways, which are wheelchair and stroller friendly, wind their way past jaguars and tapirs, toucans and monkeys. The Best Little Zoo in the World can be enjoyed by everyone now in Belizean society.
Ms. Middleton said that the Zoo was perfectly aligned with the theme for 2013: "Break Barriers, Open Doors: for an inclusive society and development for all" It had been over twenty-five years since Eva Middleton last passed through the zoo. She was joyfully astounded. "Before I lost my leg, I could go into the rain forest. Today, I felt like I was back in the forest again."
A group of about fifty guests from BAPDA and Stella Maris School joined educators Jamal Andrewin and Johanna Pacheco on an exciting Zoo highlights tour. "Lucky Boy" the black jaguar and jaguar ambassador "Junior Buddy" seemed to know that this was a special day. They wasted no time coming up to greet their guests, and their guests were visibly thrilled. Everyone had the opportunity to enjoy close up meetings with our national animal, the Central American tapir, and our beautiful national bird, the keel-billed toucan!
|BAPDA Guests Meeting Rose the Croc
The excitement did not end with a zoo tour. As the group gathered at the front of the Zoo for refreshments, Zoo Director Sharon Matola joined Jamal Andrewin to make a special presentation for the group. A new colouring book, THE ABC'S OF WILD AND WONDERFUL BELIZE, was given to all of our special guests. Having received support from the State University of New York at Cortland (SUNY Cortland), SUNY Cortland's, Inclusive Recreation Resource Center, this activity oriented colouring book, dedicated to children with disabilities, is the Zoo's newest and proud resource. Students and professors from SUNY Cortland will be assisting the Zoo in raising much-needed funds to fully finish the accessible walkway. We are currently 80 percent complete, and look forward to seeing the entire Zoo accessible!
Being so special, the colouring book deserved a special intro! Providing that moment of exciting introduction was a job for a zoo ambassador. "Rose" the crocodile took on the task with reptilian delight. As the books were passed out, "Rose" assisted with photo and petting opportunities, adding an element of learning and surprise which was unexpected by all.
Past president of BAPDA, Jerome Flores, who was the Zoo's expert consultant on the accessible walkway, joined current BAPDA president, Marshall Nunez and manager Eva Middleton, as kind and heartfelt thanks were given. No one wanted to leave! The Belize Zoo looks forward to more visits from BAPDA folks, Stella Maris children, and to all with disabilities. Transforming our beautiful animal sanctuary into an accessible destination, has added a big and shining star to the profile of The Best Little Zoo in the World.

Cynthia Johnson is the founding director of the Venture Program at Bellevue College in Washington. She is also the co-author of "Breaking the Trance". Breaking the trance is an easy-to-follow guide that will help parents understand recreational screen media use at home. Recreational screen media use is quickly replacing family time, by no fault of parents. They are doing the best they can based on the information available to them, which claims nothing can be done to stop their children's screen dependence. Parents seeking change need a new framework for action. Breaking the Trance does not blame parents nor vilifies technology, but it does give parents clear and effective strategies to implement immediately. The results will restore a sense of care and connection within the family. Cynthia's work has been featured by National Public Radio, the Chicago Tribune, Inside Higher Education, University Business Magazine, the Seattle Times, and KIRO 7.

America: A Nation Divided
In George Washington's Farewell Speech on September 19, 1796, he warned against political parties as follows:
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty (J.E. Quidam, 2008). This ideology seems to have evolved and held truth for the past 227 years as now Americans are even more divided by political parties than any other stature. According to Edward S. Greenberg and Benjamin I. Page's "The Struggle for Democracy", political ideology is defined as a system of interrelated and coherently organized political beliefs and attitudes, which include conservatives, liberals, populists, and libertarians (145). Greenburg and Page further describe that the "two dimensions" that Americans generally divide along are government's roles in economy and society (147).
Conservatism can be defined as the disposition to preserve or restore what is established and traditional and to limit change (2013). There two different types of conservatives, economic and social. Economic conservatives believe more in economic liberties and freedoms from government interference, and that a free market offers the best path to economic efficiency and a decent society. They strongly believe in private enterprise and are opposed to big government regulation of business (Greenberg 147). Social conservatives prefer government enforcement of order and traditional values on issues such as abortion, prayer in the schools, homosexuality, pornography, crime and political descent (Greenberg 148). Liberals can be defined as those who favor free choices and the rights of the accused (Greenberg 148). There are also economic and social liberals. Economic liberals feel it is the role of government to ensure that underprivileged individuals have an equal opportunity, with safety nets in place to regulate potentially damaging business practices so they can be competitive in the job market (Greenberg 148).
Economic liberals and social liberals usually go hand in hand and the same with economic conservatives and social conservatives. Some examples of economic and social liberals are President Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi. They favor ideas such as the right to abortion, separation of church and state, and more progressive taxes. Examples of economic and social conservatives are Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. They are against abortion, favor less government involvement in the economy and society, and support traditional family and gender roles. Although the economic and social liberals and economic and social conservatives are usually identified as one in the same, this is not always the case. Many people are liberal in some ways but conservative in others. A few examples of the latter are Milton Friedman, who is a social liberal but an economic conservative and Mike Huckabee, who is a social conservative but an economic liberal.
Populism is typically defined as those that support the rights of the masses and give power to the people in the struggle against the privileged upper class. This person is usually liberal on economic issues but conservative on social issues. According to Greenberg, the Populist Party grew out of the Western and Southern farm protest movements in the late nineteenth century (266). An example of a Populist movement was in the 1890's when they aimed...

Governments and organizations have an interest in my data, but I don't think they have a right to it. Obviously, citizens can align themselves with their government or organization's interests and they can offer to show off their data for free, but any attempt by their government or organization to mandate inspection of all data is inappropriate. So, for instance, breaking encryption standards so that law enforcement can "look inside" whenever they want is wrong.
Is there any analogous technology out there? Are there, for instance, banking systems that local law enforcement cannot access even when they have legitimate suspicion of law breaking? Are there impenetrable housing materials for doors and walls that local law enforcement cannot breach? Are such things morally wrong? Should bullet proof vests receive censure because they enable robbery?
How about guns? Pedophiles don't use them, I guess, but rapists and terrorists do.
Once that's in place, the next license will be for internet access.
These are the same people who put "Professional Driver, Closed Course, Do Not Attempt" messages on any car commercial which shows the car in motion. Before they are done, it will be safe for toddlers to play in traffic on an expressway or to wander around inside a steel foundry. It's the ultimate nanny state - everyone gets protected like toddlers in need of close nanny supervision.
