"I regularly utilize the IvyGene test with my cancer patients. I have found it to be a very convenient and beneficial tool to assess the systemic burden of cancer in the body."
– Jonathan Stegall, MD, Integrative Oncologist, Alpharetta, GA
"There are instances where this test has helped me decide my next course of action. It is a simple, but useful tool that can save lives. My patients were grateful!"
– George Liakeas, MD, Family Medicine, New York, New York
The IvyGene test may confirm the presence of multiple cancers, as early as stage 1. The IvyGene test is a highly accurate, simple blood draw that has been validated for confirming the presence of breast, colon, liver, and lung cancer. Other cancers may result in an elevated IvyGene test.
More than 600,000 people will die from cancer in 2019. More than 1 million individuals will be diagnosed with new cancer cases during that same time. By confirming the presence of multiple cancers early, the chances of survival increase by more than 50%.
The technology behind the IvyGene test has been published in several major publications,
including Nature Materials and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The technology has been commercially developed by the Laboratory for Advanced Medicine, whose goal is to turn cancer from a life-threatening disease into a manageable illness.
Providers may order the test kit here. Only medical providers may order the test for patients. With advanced cancer testing, a medical provider may help guide patients down the proper path, and used with the normal standards of care, the IvyGene test will give patients and providers more insight into a patient's health at the time of testing.

I said LEFT SID-INCOMING!" The sergeant was cut off by a large ball of plasma, instantly vaporizing him and the supports to the building. The Marauder stopped firing his minigun to get under a buckling floor. He locked his suit into place, feeling the weight of three floors beginning to overcome even his suit's strength. The lieutenant, with half his face soaking a bandage dark red ordered everyone to fallback. The Marauder could hear his suit's gears beginning to cry in pain, just as he saw Lee come up in his suit to assist. The handful of troopers left rushed out the hole made by the plasma round, bounding to the next defensive line. Once everyone was out, the two Marauders jump jetted forward to burst out the collapsing wall just before the building came on top of them. "Mobcomm, this is Hero 1-3, Secondary evac is compromised, moving to tertiary rally point." Called the Lieutenant over the radio. "Krone! You and the rest of the Marauders cover us while we move the wounded." "Copy, Hewitz, on me North side, Caine, Lee, take the West." The four Marauders stood shoulder to shoulder, unleashing a hail of lead with the simultaneous roar of their miniguns. Caine armed his y-racks, volleying a rocket ever other second in quick succession to slow the endless horde of Arachnids. The Arachnid wave turned into a wall as each warrior was cut down one by one, but their sheer numbers slowly pushed closer to the iron bastions. The wall, like a tidal wave inched closer to the glowing red barrels of their weapons. One tenacious bug managed to slip through, bringing it's talons up to slash the Marauder in half. He brought his gun to bear, aiming directly into it's exposed belly and into the nerve stem. Without mercy the metal man cut the warrior with half with his weapon, spraying it's insides around. They wouldn't be able to hold this position much longer. "This is Hero 1-3, request immediate air support 100 meters south of our location to cover our retreat. How copy?" "Negative Hero 1-3, all air support is already engaged. We're barely able to maintain tertiary extract as it is. You're gonna have to find a way." Just then a bug finally managed to breach through, sending it's talon straight through Lee's chest. The Marauder knew there was no hope, Lee was dead before he hit the dirt. "Shit, man down!" Caine was awakened, in his bunk. His lungs sucked in a grasp of air as if being choked. He jerked upwards, hitting his head on the bunk above him. "Motherfu-" He fell back down into the pillow, seeing this was not where he last remembered himself. His heart thumped, each pulse threatening to burst his chest, or so he felt. Rubbing his face, he noticed a small clamp over his finger. Shit.....he'd passed out. Not good, at all. He tried to calm his heart rate, laying there and trying to relax, go over what he remembered. No it was all still real. The near constant fighting, little food, and even less sleep, where was Zella? Earth was lost, Federation crumbling. He-Zella? Where was she? He looked around, thankful to find her immediately sleeping in her bunk. He crawled back out of the bed, holding his hand to his head. A skull splitting headache. He needed some water. Caine ripped off the clamp that was taped to his finger and tossed it on the bed, yawning before stumbling around to grab a bottle of water. January 2nd, 2298 Spoiler -About four years ago- Two men sit at a table, one in casual MI attire, the other wearing the distinct lab coat of a Federation doctor. He held a manila folder, casually looking through it. It was labeled, 'Service Record - Caine, Joshua A. - 422719256' "Good morning Sergeant. How are you feeling today?" "I'm feeling well sir." "How are your injuries coming along?" "Nothing permanent beyond some scars, sir." Caine kept a very low and calm voice, almost disinterested. "That's very good to hear. Have they told you why we're here today?" The man had a particularly chipper tone to his voice. Something that gave Caine the impression he'd lived a comfortable life. Secretly it annoyed him. He would have been a perfect target for him and his buddies back home to egg their house or something when they were kids. "It's a psychological review to see if i'm still fit for service, sir." "Well, not exactly. You're not wrong, but it's also to determine something else." The doctor purposefully stopped, trying to build some anticipation. "Sorry but could you cut the suspense. I'd rather you just tell me. Sir." "Very well, I'm here to determine you mental fitness in regards to your application for the Marauder program. Your service record alone speaks some volume of your abilities as a soldier. I'm here to get a sense of the man behind the gun." "So you're gonna do some Freudian stuff on me? Develop a profile, tell me how when my goldfish died when I was four affects me now?" "Is that how you'd like your review to be conducted?" "I don't see why it's being conducted in the first place. You have everything there in your little folder. Including my records as a kid. You probably made you decision about me before you came in the room, probably between your second and third cup of coffee judging by the aroma still lurking in your breath." "Indeed I do. So let me ask you this. Profile yourself." Caine cocked his head, maintaining his stoic look, but slightly more curious. "You're obvious a very intelligent man sergeant, by your records a genius IQ. Any I had to say you'd find mundane at best just as you were a few seconds ago. So why waste both our times? Profile yourself." Caine adjusted his posture in the chair, looking around the blank gray room and settling back on the interviewer. "Well at a glance, most people would be sympathetic to me given they know my frequent trips to and from foster homes. That is until people talk to me and find out i'm pretty much an asshole, when i'm not being a sarcastic punk. It's a both conscious and automatic reaction, pushing people away before they have a chance to hurt or leave me like my birth parents did. Abandoned as a baby, my parental guidance was at the end of a blunt object most days, resulting in my obvious animosity towards authority figures, particularly older men. This harbored into plain stubbornness and a refusal to apply myself in school, despite being able to do most of my instructors jobs if I really wanted to. I only did the minimum to stay eligible for Wrestling cause it was the one thing I could compress my rage into. Being able to legally beat the hell out of kids helped keep me out of most trouble in school, aside from the occasional fight to stop some kid like me getting bullied. Showing I have a capacity for compassion, but prefer to ignore it in favor of not wanting to show my feelings, bringing it back to my defense mechanism. What this means as a soldier is that I have a lack of empathy towards people I deem adversaries, and a very analytical mind, making me an efficient killer, but also displaying minor sociopathic tendencies. Only reason it's not worse or I didn't become a serial killer is my Drill Instructor's were more stubborn. So the Federation gives me a chance, deciding to ignore my past unlike everyone else. I'm given a home, food, a pseudo family, which I secretly deeply care for and strive to bring everyone home. Anyone that dies, I take as a blow to my overly type A personality, regardless of if it's my fault or not. Likely cause I can't bear the thought of some Southie widow having to go through a similar pain I had for the first 20 years of my life. And hell, I'm even given a decent paycheck. So I follow my orders, trying to be the best soldier I can be, even if it means as coming off as cold cause I won't fail the Federation and the chance they've given me, expecting full well to die in service in an unmarked grave on some planet, and that's ok with me. Cause I frankly abhor wealth, fame and entitlement due to my poverty stricken upbringing. And it'd mean maybe i'd finally done some good for once, and didn't make the Federation regret giving me that chance." The interviewer leaned back in his chair, adjusting his black-rimmed glasses. "Hm, impressive." "It's nothing you haven't already figured out." "Indeed, but it takes a very wise man to be able to admit thing about himself." ------------------------------ Caine woke up from his slumber, scanning around his bunk to see if anyone else was awake. They all looked asleep. He felt a bead of sweat roll down his temple, wiping it away with his hand. Immediately he was wide awake, for years he'd been trained to wake at a moments notice, since he was a kid. He hopped down from his bunk, knowing he wouldn't get anymore sleep tonight. He walked over to his locker barefoot, opening adjusting his manhood stuck to the side of his thigh. Everyone was asleep, who'd notice, or care really. Caine opened up his locket and tossed on a pair of pants and shirt, along with his boots and headed upstairs to browse the messhall for something to eat.

The downside of co-signing a loan comes with the risk of defaulting. If you cannot afford to make monthly payments, your co-signer is liable to repay the loan. This causes financial stress because it costs the co-signer money, and also strains your relationship.
Being or having a co-signer is not a step that should be taken lightly. Both should go into the agreement with clear expectations, and have a strategy in mind to protect themselves from defaulting on the loan.

In the first part of this blog we looked at some of the causes and effects of dental anxiety and phobia.
In this section we will discuss how to find a good dentist who can work with you to overcome your fears.
As in any profession, there are good and bad dentists. Most dentists want to relieve pain and keep their patients happy. However, not all dentists have the personality, time or interest to work with those who are fearful and need extra care and attention.
Unfortunately, if you have had bad experiences in the past with one or more dentists this may lead you to believe that all dentists are uncaring or "bad".
Media portrayal of dentists usually does not help. While movies may make other doctors the hero in their plots they usually portray the dentist as the villain!
If you had a schoolteacher who was cruel and ridiculed you, this does not mean that all teachers are the same.
There are many gentle, caring dentists who are good with nervous people.
The key is finding the right dentist for you.
Qualities of a good dentist
Of course, a dentist needs to be well qualified, knowledgeable and skillful at their job.The following qualities are also important, especially if you are anxious or have dental phobia:
- Someone you can develop a good rapport with.
- Makes you feel at ease and works to gain your trust.
- Treats all people with respect.
- Interested in whole person – does not just see people as a mouth or set of teeth!
- Understands anxiety and is gentle and caring.
- Willing to spend extra time when needed and listen to your concerns.
- Explains the diagnosis and treatment options in a way that you can understand.
- Involves you in decision making and gives preventive advice so that you become a partner in your dental care.
- If sedation is used, it should only be in conjunction with, and not as a replacement for, good communication and psychological support.
- Dental office environment should be clean and as welcoming and comfortable as possible.
So how do you find a dentist the right dentist for you?
The best way is by word of mouth. Ask your friends and family, if they have a dentist they can recommend. If a friend or family member is also anxious or an ex-dental phobic but has found a dentist who they get along well with, this is a good sign. You can also check a dentist's reviews on various websites, but a personal recommendation is better.
There is no one dentist who is a perfect fit for every patient. Depending on past experience and personal preference, you may be happier with a male or female dentist, or someone with a different personality type than your friend.
Taking the first step
Once you have some recommendations you could telephone the practices to ask about the dentist and get some more information. If you are very anxious, you could ask someone to do this for you. Try to call into the practice, with a friend, if needed, to get get a feel for the place before making an appointment. You could explain to the receptionist that you are anxious and ask how the dentist deals with anxious patients.
Unless you have severe pain or infection, you do not need to rush into dental treatment. You will probably have been putting off seeing a dentist for some time, so a few more weeks are not going to make a huge difference. It is important to find a dentist who will help you overcome your fears, rather than reinforce them.
It may be less scary to ask to just have a chat with the dentist away from the dental chair for the first visit. It is best to be open about your fears, anxieties and past bad experiences, as this can enable the dentist to find the best way to help you. If you feel unable to talk about some of your fears, you could put them in writing.
If you feel positive about the dentist you can then make an appointment for a check-up. Trust your instincts, if you don't feel comfortable with the dentist then make your excuses and leave. You can keep looking until you find the right dentist for you.
If you have a dental phobia, just making the first appointment can be the hardest part. An understanding dentist will let you take one step at a time in order to build up your confidence. Once you have managed a check-up and x-ray, you will probably find that your level of anxiety is reduced. It is best to start with a simpler procedure, such as cleaning, before moving onto to more complex treatment.Congratulate yourself for each new step you take.
As the following testimonial from a Smile Station patient shows, it is possible to overcome your fears once you find the right dentist:
"When I was referred by my colleague to go to Smile Station, I thought it is going to be yet another place and have to bear the grueling pains which normally arises due to dental treatments. After the first consultation with Dr Gurudev I changed my opinion completely. Within few sittings all my problems along with fear has gone and our entire family is now under the care of Smile Station. Both Dr Pramila and Dr Gurudev are excellent in their approach and services to the patients!! Cheers and Good wishes to the entire Team !!!"
Look out for the next section in which we will look at specific anxieties and some techniques for overcoming them.

A high-pitched scream punctuated the dim atmosphere.
What? - Charles' thoughts were wrenched from their introspection, and snapped back to the present.
It had been a woman's voice, frightened, distressed, bordering on the hysterical. The sound of it had immediately sent Charles running in its direction. It did strike him that he was hardly qualified to deal with any emergency, as this would seem to be the case. He should have tried to contact some other doctor on the night shift. But there was a sense of urgency that he felt, and he did not attempt to contact anyone.
He just ran.
The hospital's grounds covered a large expanse of land. He would have found it rather difficult to pinpoint the scream's origin, were it not for the second, then third, then fourth, scream that sounded over and over again.
There... he thought, as he continued to run. A figure slowly took shape, gradually changing from an unclear, dark shadow, to that of a young woman's. She was sitting on the ground, her weight thrown backwards, as if staggered and fallen. As Charles drew closer, he could see the horror and fear on her face as she continued to scream.
He slowed, drew closer to her. But she did not notice him. Her face was turned away, her eyes wide and fixated on some illusion only she herself could see. Her thin hands pawed at the sand, desperately trying to back away from, to escape some demon of her creation. The pale hospital gown she wore was filthy and torn in several places.
She would not stop screaming.
" Keep away from me! Keep away from me! Go away!" The tears rolled down her pale cheeks, her shrieking interrupted only by her sobs.
Charles knelt beside her. He slowly raised his hand to touch her. " Do not be frightened. I will help you."
She turned her large, dilated eyes upon him, and her features twisted in panic as she shrank away. " No... keep away from me... don't hurt me... Keep away from me!" She scrambled to escape him.
He knew that she had no reason to fear him. But he realised that it was not his face that she saw, nor his voice that she heard. To her, his face was that of another man, another demon, and his voice not his own, but that of the devil's. Automatically, he began to probe her mind, sensing the trauma and fear locked within.
Though he only skimmed the surface of her thoughts, he could see, all too clearly, the nightmare she was living through at that moment. But her nightmare had become a reality, with the images of bloodshed and destruction that overflowed from her mind's eye.

Celebrating 2018 is a huge part of preparing for the best year of our lives – we cannot move forward, heading for true JOY, if we don´t bow in gratitude towards everything we´ve lived.
This year brought the (physical) death of one of my best friends – Khaled Roshdy -, the growth and increasing success of Joana Saahirah´s Online Dance School; finding the Love of my Life; life in Morocco, then in Bali; a major earthquake with a terrifying tsunami threat in Lombok, dengue fever (my man), a fire, the birth and publishing of a new book; a resetting of life priorities and dreams.
I take the unpleasant as I take the pleasant: with open arms, ready to make the best of everything that comes my way. Meanwhile, I keep on dreaming and taking action upon those dreams – lazy bones have never been my thing.
As we draw 2018 to an end, I share a special video on Authentic Egyptian Dance and, ultimately, Life. I´m sure you´ll understand why.
Wishing YOU the brightest, most loving and abundant NEW YEAR!

You will find lots of skill games over the internet. Some are free to play but some require payment or donations. Some will also let you play the first few levels as a trial and then offer you the full version for a fee. Some games will ask you to create an account and log in first before you can play them. If you do not feel doing any of these conditions, look for skill games that you can play totally for free. One of these skill games which are free to play in its entirety is the Vex game series.
In the Vex games, you play as the stick figure which is on the go for the adventure of his life. You will be running, jumping, climbing, swimming and sliding as you head towards the end of the level or Acts as they are called in the game. You will also do lots of acrobatic acts while avoiding the deadly obstacles scattered all over your way. Make sure not to get in touch with those deadly obstacles, even the smallest contact will kill you right away. You will be passing checkpoints too as you proceed to the exit door. In case you die, you will continue from the last checkpoint you have passed.
All Vex games begin with a Tutorial stage. It is like a warm up stage; you get a grip on the controls of the game and familiarize yourself with the flow of the game. In the first installment, there are eight Acts to survive then a Credit stage. In the second installment, there are nine Acts to get through. And the third installment is the longest one and said to be the hardest too. Aside from the ten Acts to bear, there are additional nine Challenges to endure.
Every sequel has its own improvements and added features. In the second sequel, aside from new obstacles, an Achievements room was incorporated. There are twenty nine Achievements to complete while playing. Each Achievement becomes harder to get as you collect them. In the third sequel, the Achievements room was abolished and a new Trophies rooms was integrated. There are forty trophies to collect. And like in the Achievements, the higher the trophy, the harder it is to claim.

Are you comparing Invisalign to braces when it comes to straightening your smile? Fayetteville Orthodontics offers both metal braces and Invisalign® at our Fayetteville, GA orthodontic offices. Board-certified orthodontists Dr. Kalpesh Thakkar and Dr. Ruchir R. Patel can help you decide which one is right for you or your teen's smile!
Both Invisalign and traditional braces are efficient at straightening your teeth, improving your bite, and boosting your smile's appearance. Traditional braces have been used for decades, while Invisalign became part of mainstream dentistry in 2000.
Conventional and ceramic braces use a series of brackets and wires that are attached to your teeth to move them into place. Metal braces are more noticeable than ceramic braces, but both impact the way you care for your teeth during treatment.
On the other hand, Invisalign braces and Invisalign Teen use a series of smooth, removable plastic aligners. Not only does this allow your treatment to be "invisible," but it's also usually more comfortable due to the smooth contour against your smile.

The history of Africa in the second half of the twentieth century is strewn with dead revolutionaries. Lumumba in the Congo, Cabral in Guinea-Bissau, Biko in South Africa, Mondlane in Mozambique: all were feted as the saviours of their people; all were felled by colder, worldlier foes. These idealists, these visionaries with plans for the improvement of their countries were snuffed out before they could see their projects through. Their fervour, their energy, and the love they inspired in their people would prove insufficient defence against the Machiavellian manoeuvrings of the old guard, those grim-faced, calculating rivals who were still in cahoots with the hated colonial masters.
In Burkina Faso the revolutionary torch was taken up by Thomas Sankara. A charismatic, handsome army officer with an intense gaze and a burning zeal for change, it is he who lies here before us, beneath the headstone whose inscription reminds us of his humble rank of "Capitaine". Dynamic, impulsive and passionate for his country to be free, this ill-fated young firebrand is seen by many as Africa's Che Guevara, and still inspires adulation a quarter of a century after his death.
Sankara becomes president of Burkina Faso in 1983, after ousting the repressive military government in a bloodless coup d'état. He takes over a people whose hopes have been muzzled. Independence, that great eruption of optimism and joy, has been and gone, and Burkinabes are no better off, no freer. Two decades of corrupt and incompetent leadership have left their country penniless and indebted; to stay afloat it has been forced to beg for loans, first from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and then, most humiliatingly, from France, the former colonial power.
Sankara, who sees these moneylenders as neo-colonialists engaged in a "reconquest" of Africa, dreams of throwing off the chains. Although he is just thirty-three years old and has no experience of high office, he tackles the task with relish. As soon as he comes to power he launches his revolution. He promises to bring development to all Burkinabes, and not just to the elites who are in league with the French. His people will no longer need foreign handouts or be fleeced by their own leaders. 'We do not want this aid that turns us into beggars and dependents,' he thunders, pumping his fist in the air. Peasants, women, the working classes and the young will break free and lead their continent to a self-sufficient, dignified future. 'Down with imperialism!' he cries as he rallies his spellbound followers. 'Down with the embezzlers of public funds! Down with toadies and thieving rats! Down with the ravenous jackals!'
The young leader has revolution in his bones. As a child he had celebrated independence by lowering his village's French tricolour and raising the new flag of Upper Volta; as president he replaces his ministers' Mercedes with the humble Renault 5, the cheapest car on the market. While other African leaders stash millions in foreign bank accounts, Sankara, whose cheques often bounce, draws a monthly salary of less than five hundred dollars and needs a mortgage to buy a home. While other African leaders buy private jets and lounge on luxury yachts, Sankara's most valuable possessions are a refrigerator, three guitars and the battered old bicycle he rides around Ouagadougou. And while other African leaders wear the finest suits flown in from Paris and Milan, Sankara, echoing Gandhi, dresses his ministerial team in homespun Burkinabe cotton. The youth of Africa lap it up.
It is Sankara who gives the country its name. The French had called their colony Upper Volta, a dry, geographical description taken from the three rivers that rise to the west of the capital. Sankara renames it Burkina Faso, the Land of the Honourable People. He wipes the colonial stain from the map and puts his countrymen proudly in its place. Burkinabes revel in their new-found importance, thrilled that one of their own sons is daring to stand up to Africa's historic oppressors, amazed that they, humble peasants, are in the vanguard of a movement that will transform the entire continent.
But the Revolution is not only about symbols. The corrupt institutions of power must be brought to heel, and Sankara is fearless in his choice of targets. He takes on tribal leaders by abolishing the tribute payments and forced labour they exact from their subjects. He takes on the political classes by cutting civil servants' salaries and launching an anti-corruption drive. He tells haughty army officials that they must 'live among the people,' and drags ambassadors out into the countryside to explain their raison d'être to mystified villagers. And he rattles foreign donors, and in particular the French, by telling them his country does not want their help and cannot afford to pay back its debts. 'Those who lent to us were playing a game of chance,' he explains unapologetically. 'As long as they were winning there was no problem, but now they've lost they squeal "unfair". They played, they lost. Those are the rules of the game. Life goes on.'
Having torn down, he sets about building up. Burkinabes lack the skills and physical strength to carry the Revolution forward, so Sankara builds schools and invests in healthcare, vaccinating millions of children against killer diseases. To boost agricultural productivity he breaks up feudal landlords' estates and parcels them out among the peasants. He plants trees to hold back the encroaching Sahara. Lithe and fit and rarely seen out of military fatigues, he darts around, full of energy, driving his people on and exhorting them to work harder, to produce more, to haul their country out of poverty. 'Consommons Burkinabe!' he cries, and backs his words by slapping a ban on fruit imports.
There is room on the revolutionary juggernaut for women, too. Africa will never develop, Sankara says, if half its people are treated like chattels. He promotes women to key government positions, reforms inheritance laws to give equal rights to male and female children, bans polygamy, and rails against female circumcision, a painful rite of passage for girls that can lead to fatal complications during childbirth. He instigates a national day for husbands to do the family shopping, and takes an all-female presidential motorcade with him when he tours upcountry. Already bewitched by his youthful good looks, the women of Burkina swoon.
We sit with Maurice on a rock by the grave, buffeted by dust, the only sounds the wind and the rustling of the flying plastic bags. A brown goat walks across one of the whitewashed tombs. People cycle past from time to time, wearing masks to keep out the dust and toxic fumes from the tip. There is a strong smell of burning plastic. A young mother walks by with a baby on her back, seemingly unaware of her proximity to history. 'She knows about him,' says Maurice when I wonder aloud whether today's younger generation are still interested. 'Everyone loves him except those who killed him.' I have heard many similar sentiments. 'He was unique,' Maurice continues, staring wistfully at the gaudily-painted grave. 'He was the only African leader who worked for his people and not for himself. He was a martyr.' Back in Bobo-Dioulasso, Abdoulaye had given a similar endorsement. 'All African leaders are the same, except one,' he told me. 'Thomas Sankara wanted people to work, to prosper, to make Burkina Faso and Africa better. He was loved not just here but all over Africa, and even in Europe. But he was the last one.'

Tucked away in a remote part of Africa, Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau and Burkina Faso, three of the world's poorest countries, are in the throes of great upheaval. Globalisation has shown their people that a more comfortable life is possible, but as they strive to attain it, climate change, the population boom, the tyrants of the old guard and the firm grip of tradition block their way.
The clash between old and new is explosive. Civil wars erupt without warning, with drugged up rebels fighting over blood diamonds, gold or a humble bowl of rice. Al Qaeda has set up camp in Burkina Faso. Colombian drug gangs have overrun Guinea-Bissau. Christian and Muslim fanatics battle for African souls, preparing their converts for Armageddon.
In The Ringtone and the Drum, Mark Weston dives into this maelstrom. In an often-unsettling adventure, he travels around the three countries and immerses himself in local life. Combining the remarkable stories of those he meets with his deep knowledge of Africa's development, the book sheds new light on a neglected corner of the globe.
…a truly engaging and informative book that provides a rare tour of one of the world's poorest and least understood regions, Doug Saunders, Globe and Mail, Canada.

2700-2, 2654-6 , 2648, 2630-1 Support
2739-40, 2748-50, 2765-7 Resistance
A daily S&P Futures chart shows prices pushing up above the highs of the last few trading days as per Sunday evening. Given that the last week was lower, but not meaningfully so, and grinded sideways as opposed to showing real technical damage, this move Sunday in Futures is bullish, and unless immediately erased Monday morning, likely paves the way for a push back to 2750 and then potentially the larger 1x1 price/time angle off the January 2018 highs. It was right to come in bearish last week, but we just didn't see enough technical damage with indices. Overall, the bears require a move down under 2700 for June futures for the negative trend to gain traction.
Summary: Stocks have largely remained resilient, not showing much pullback after having peaked again in mid-month, similar to what's been happening over the last few months. The breakout in Industrials while Advance/Decline pushes up to new all-time highs are thought to be positive factors which might keep prices afloat a bit longer, but its still not unreasonable to think weakness can happen into end of month, which is what happened in February, March and April. Bond yields broke out in bigger fashion last week, so stocks very well could follow yields in the short run. The Dollar meanwhile has not yet turned lower but is getting very close from both a price and time perspective. Given that Tech and Financials were both lower by 1% last week, this remains a market that has to be watched carefully in the short run. While trends from early April still seem positive (along with Sunday evening's Futures gains) some evidence of upward thrust in breadth and momentum is going to be necessary along with Tech turning higher and Financials showing breakouts above the key XLF- 29 level to have real conviction about the quality of this advance. Small-cap breakouts along don't guarantee a broad based move back to new all-time highs for the indices during a seasonally weak period.
Given that the price action was largely unchanged for most of the week, with SPX closing down just a few ticks from levels hit last week, it's important to see what exactly happened "under the hood" and whether this was a reason for more optimism, or more negativity. As has been the case in recent weeks, it's not terribly lopsided and compelling interesting arguments can be made on either side. Let's start with the positives:
1) Small-caps broke back out to new high territory, with Russell 2000 joining the move seen in the Small-cap 600 index while Small-cap advance/decline also hit new highs. Small-caps and Mid-caps have now outperformed the broader market since February, after a lengthy pullback.
2) Industrials Sector SPDR ETF, XLI, broke out meaningfully above key trendline resistance. Stocks within the Rail sector like CSX and UNP outperformed, while the Aerospace and Defense group, led by BA, also snapped back in strong fashion. GE has now managed to lift to $15, and plays a large part of XLI given its weighting at 5%..
3) Advance/Decline has pushed back up to new all-time highs when watching "All-stocks" A/D. It's been rare to see a broader market peak when Advance/Decline is back at new highs. For the intermediate-term Bears, , it's worth noting that both 2000 and 2007 peaks were prefaced by a meaningful dropoff in longer-term breadth of at least six months, and in the case of 2000, this started two years prior.
4) The consolidation over the last week has helped to work off some of the divergences, while prices largely didn't go anywhere. To see a downturn, prices will need to start to turn down into end of month fairly quickly. While this could be put off this week, one would expect a bearish bias into end of month. Note, the last four months have all begun from lower prices where stocks bottomed out in the first part of the month and rallied into mid-month. This happened in February, March, April and now May. (Though the decline thus far from May peaks has proven brief. )
5. Europe has been trending higher along with many Asian indices without much stalling out and it's important to see when the rest of the world has been moving higher, and analyze price action globally vs just the US to gain some perspective as to when indices start to peak out in unison like what happened back in late January. At present, peaks in other indices like SX5E, and NKY still look a bit early.
6. Demark counts had an imperfected Setup last week, which as practitioners know, creates less than an ideal "top" when bar 7 is the highest bar of the Sell Setup as opposed to bar 8 or 9 of the Sell setup. This could invite further gains until TD Sequential and/or TD Combo 13 countdowns are in place before this peaks.
The negatives:
1) Breadth remains sub-par on this rally.from early April and from early February, when looking at smoothed breadth gauges like McClellan's Summation index which is roughly half the level it was back last October. The Percentage of stocks trading above their 50-day moving average is 58, certainly not in the 80's like last year. Momentum has been negatively sloped per MACD since early February.
2) Both Financials and Technology were down over 1% this past week and for leading sector participation, we saw Energy and Materials. While it's refreshing to see rallies in these sectors, they don't account for much of the market, while XLF was down 5 of the last 6 days, and Technology showed clear signs of rolling over this past week, and NDX has stalled out below its own all-time highs. Charts of the SOX have been under pressure
3) Interest rates spiked up sufficiently to breakout of long-term downtrends in yields stretching back since the 1990's. Given that there remain ongoing concerns regarding Productivity and wage growth, seeing short term yields escalate rapidly while the FOMC doesn't talk down plans of continuing to hike rates, a rapid move up in rates which could happen into early June given these breakouts this past week could put pressure on High yield again at a time when LIBOR-OIS has pulled back to attractive near-term support.
4) Cyclical concerns remain an issue for markets, and similar to mid-April, Mid-March and Mid-February, equities have reached areas where the rally from early month seems to have stalled out and could face downward pressure. The 20-week cycle seems to be nearing a time when it should exert downward pressure on indices. If we don't turn down into end of month, like what's occurred over the last few months, then its possible that the rally could prolong into mid-June (which was initially thought to be a bottom for stocks) But then a likely sharp pullback down into late July would be likely.
5) Equity put/call ratios were showing readings in the 50s for most of this week, not typically the area where large rallies back to highs begin. When two calls are being bought for every one Put,
6) Seasonality suggests that this time should be particularly Sub-par during mid-term election years from now til October. While there could prove to be a choppy time and overall no serious declines until September into October, it would completely go against the grain of most seasonal studies to see sharp rallies during this time of year in the 2nd term of of a presidential cycle.
Short-term (3-5 days): Bullish- (With Stop and Reverse on any move under 2700) Last week's bearish stance provided little to no real overall deterioration in the market, and while prices were lower by week's end, this turned out to be more of a grinding sideways than any true setback. Additionally, the Advance/Decline pushed back up to new highs, which is thought to be constructive. Industrials broke out , as per XLI's move late last week, and Demark's Sell Setup never truly registered a proper TD Sell Setup sign. Movement back over 2732 would create a short-term bullish scenario which could led up to 2750. The key concerns revolve around Tech and Financials starting to show more strength, and both sectors were down 1%+ last week, so this is important. However overall, the stalling out last week didn't lead to pullbacks thus far, and momentum and breadth have improved a bit in the short run. While not necessarily leading to a move back to new highs, it is a short-term positive development.
Intermediate-term (3-5 months)- Bearish- Trends and momentum remain negative and markets are entering a seasonally bearish period for mid-term election years that normally sees trends turn lower into September/October before late year strength. While Technology is indeed a positive, other sectors like Financials, industrials and Healthcare have all been dragging substantially and are a problem for a market desperately seeking leadership. The lack of breadth and market momentum suggest this market still could be vulnerable to a late Spring "shock" given that sentiment isn't all that pessimistic while the participation and trends remain in less than optimal shape. Movement down under 2550 would be a concern for a test of 2450, but this likely proves to be appealing initial support to buy into on any correction over the next couple months.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS of INDUSTRIAL SECTOR- What's driving the XLI Breakout?
This week we'll take a look at some charts of the Industrials sector as XLI has broken out per last week, yet many stocks remain under pressure, and sub-sectors like the Airlines certainly haven't matched the bullish structure of stocks within the Rail space. Additionally, Aerospace and Defense has begun to trend higher again, but yet not all these stocks are all that positive from a structural perspective. Key to note, the top 5 stocks within the XLI make up about 25% of the ETF: BA, GE, MMM, UNP and HON. Of these, BA and UNP appear best technically, while MMM remains under pressure, as does GE on an intermediate-term basis, despite its rally over the last month. Also it's important to point out that from an Equal-weighted perspective, Industrials have not matched the breakout seen in XLI, necessitating a more selective stance vs thinking the entire group is bullish. Below i'll run through some of the popular Sub-sector charts and then go over some of the charts of the stocks that are driving this rally, ones that still look to have upside and that investors should consider. I'm skeptical that a broad-based rally is occurring, however, so thinking that mean reversion should work might not pay off. At present, it looks best to stick with the leaders

SHORTS within Industrials
XLI - Industrials ETF broke out, and further progress here looks likely
XLI- Industrials Sector ETF-$75.33- Bullish Breakout bodes well for further gains- It's thought that last week's breakout of the downtrend from January highs is a positive development for this sector that's been under pressure over the last few months. While stocks like GE have accounted for a good part of the rally since early May (and remain trending down overall and not bullish) stocks like BA, CSX have also led this higher and still look to make further upward progress. Until/unless this is given back right away, XLI should be overweighted, and this move is considered bullish and should lead higher to $76.50-$77 in the near-term.
Equal-weighted Industrials vs SPX looks far less bullish than SPX- This relative chart of the Equal-weighted XLI relative to SPX broke down hard in April which took Industrials to the lowest levels relatively of the year. While this has bounced in the last couple weeks coinciding with the market pushing higher, it needs more progress to think this bearish breakout has been negated. While a certain amount of stocks within this group certainly are quite positive, others look far less bullish and should be ones to concentrate on avoiding and/or shorting this week on rallies as this ratio chart reaches the prior uptrend from the downside.
S&P 500 Rails index- Rails breaking back out to new highs bodes well for this group to strengthen further. While this index contains just four of the prominent Rail stocks, CSX, UNP, NSC and KSU, the breakout back to new highs should allow for further strength out of this sub-sector, and is thought to be constructive. Specifically, one should look at CSX and UNP should outperform and are the most bullish within this group. However, stocks like KSU and NSC have not shown the same degree of performance and technically are sub-par when compared to the first two.
DJ Transportation Avg. Push back to highs of its three-month range bears watching closely- The Transports as a group have not shown the same degree of breakout as might be expected when viewing the Rails and some of this can be explained by Airline weakness. Currently, prices will need to break out above April highs near 10900 before thinking this can join in the Bullishness like what's being seen in XLI and the Rails. Overall, any strong reversal from here would be important, as would a breakout above this upper trend. But this bears watching closely as the markets finish May, as the leading tendencies of this group are widely known.
Aerospace & Defense ETF- (ITA- $199.10) Last week's Friday breakout makes this group bullish near-term, suggesting further upside for this Aerospace and Defense stocks. Bottom line, the Aerospace and Defense stocks have shown mixed performance since January, and despite two different tests of highs, have failed to make meaningful upside since late January. Weakness into early May proved to be buyable, coinciding with TD Buy Setups a couple weeks ago, and last Friday's ability to clear early May highs is quite positive technically. Further gains look likely up to 202-205 in the next 1-2 weeks, and Aerospace/Defense should be overweighted for additional upside. Stocks like BA, COL and TXT in particular are quite bullish technically, and should be owned technically, looking to buy dips.
Boeing (BA- $351.22) BA's advance above the highs from the last month is quite positive technically and makes for a bullish case for this to rally further in the next few weeks above $360 to targets near $370-$375 to test prior highs. Momentum has been positively sloped for the last couple weeks and the broader pattern from late February resembles a giant bullish base which could lead to these highs from a couple months ago being tested. Overall, long positions are recommended, unless/until this gets down under 339 near last Wednesday/Thursday's lows. Breaks of this level would postpone gains, but for now are not expected right away.
CSX Corp (CSX- $63.76) CSX is bullish and counter-trend counts are premature to think any peak is at hand. While the daily charts are nearing overbought territory, the structure of the weekly chart is very constructive given the breakout of the sideways consolidation stretching back since last Spring in 2017. Movement up to $67.50-$70 looks likely before this stalls out, as the pattern breakout means more than the near-term overbought conditions, and bodes well for further gains. CSX remains one of the best within the Rails and should be overweighted in the weeks ahead.
Union Pacific (UNP- $143.185) UNP's structure is quite positive technically and bodes well for further gains to near 150-155 in the weeks ahead. Looking back, the breakout of the highs from Spring 2015 was a big positive development for UNP which happened late last year. The stock consolidated this breakout and has now rallied back to test these prior highs at $143-4. This pattern is quite bullish to own UNP here and add on the ability of this to get over the highs made into early 2018. Overall, along with CSX, remains a very bullish stock to consider owning within the Rails and one of the better patterns within Industrials.
Fed-Ex Corp. (FDX- $248.37) FDX is an attractive risk/reward given the consolidation since February while near-term structure shows higher lows since late March. Rallies back to 257-9 looks likely in the short run and moving above this level argues for a larger rally. FDX has taken backseat to UPS in the last few weeks, but has a more bullish longer-term relative uptrend and is thought to be the better of the two to own. Buying here at $248 given the breakout in the XLI, expecting a move up to test and break out above monthly highs looks likely in the weeks ahead, and it looks attractive to position long here ahead of the move.
Emerson Electric (EMR- $73.14) Similar to UNP, this stock managed to breakout above a high made a few years ago and has recently been consolidating gains. Now a push back higher to test former highs is ongoing and near-term progress up to $75 looks likely which could be important as near-term resistance. However, the larger structure for EMR is quite positive and movement over $75 is anticipated on an intermediate-term basis which could allow for a quick move up to $80. Structurally this looks quite appealing within the Electrical Equipment stock group, and should show further gains in the weeks ahead.

9 Perks of Breastfeeding
Okay so the title of this post is sort of an oxymoron seeing that your boobs really won't have as much "perk" in them after pregnancy and breastfeeding BUT there are many major benefits to breastfeeding your baby! And while it may seem like an impossible journey at some points, it is well worth it to give your baby your breastmilk. Here is why:
- Breastfeeding helps protect your little one against viruses, bacteria, and other diseases. The first milk that you produce is called colostrum, and it is full of immune boosting factors and it helps baby's digestive system. When I was in the hospital my nurses referred to it as baby's first round of natural vaccinations (so that is super important!). Then, once your milk comes in and takes over, it will continue to develop your baby's immune system.
- Breastfed babies are less likely to become overweight. When babies are breastfeeding they suckle but sometimes they are just sucking for comfort and not for food. Thus, they are able to regulate their calorie intake and not over eat.
- Breastmilk can seriously help your baby's skin irritations. If you are lucky, your baby will have super soft, blemish free skin for their entire infancy, but if you are like most parents, you will run into baby acne, eczema, cradle cap, and many other skin irritations that are common for babies to get. Breastmilk is a natural remedy for all of these things. My daughter had baby acne, cradle cap, dry skin, and diaper rashes and we give her breastmilk baths every other night. The baby acne went away within a few days, the cradle cap is slowly disappearing, and her diaper rash cleared almost instantly! Breastmilk is a great way to get back to that soft, smooth baby skin.
- Breastfeeding helps prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Breastfed babies are more easily aroused from sleep than formula fed babies. SIDS typically occurs while infants are asleep so babies that can naturally wake themselves up stand a better chance against SIDS.
- Breastfeeding has been link to children having higher IQs. How is this possible? Well, there are special nutrients in breastmilk that are specifically linked to your baby's brain development. By drinking your breastmilk, your little one is increasing their chances of having a higher IQ, thus, receiving further benefits down the road. Examples include having more schooling and a higher income later in life.
- Breastfeeding creates a special and intense bond between baby and mother. Breastfeeding allows for cuddling, nurturing, soothing, and skin-to-skin contact. There is truly nothing sweeter than having your little one suckling away and then nuzzle into your chest and fall asleep because she feels so secure and safe.
- Breastfeeding helps mommas reduce their risk of getting breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Basically, breastfeeding reduces your overall exposure to different hormones (estrogen) that promote breast cancer cell growth and it can reduce your chances of ovarian cancer by preventing ovulation.
- Breastfeeding helps your uterus contract back to its pre-pregnancy size faster. After you give birth, you will feel these period-like cramps happening. That is your uterus contracting and shrinking back to its normal size. This helps you have a faster recovery from delivering and it also helps reduce blood loss. Yay to wearing less maxi pads!
- Breastfeeding helps you lose weight. Yep, that's right. Breastfeeding can burn approximately 500 calories a day! So if you don't feel as confident with your post baby bod, and you can't go to the gym because you need to heal, then breastfeed! It will start your baby weight loss journey and help you get back to your pre-pregnancy weight!

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
When the battery goes critical and gnome-power-manager hibernates the machine,
it gets stuck in a loop. If I plug in the AC and power up the machine, it
resumes, then immediately hibernates again. Near as I can tell, it will continue
to do this until the battery is 100% charged.
Manually triggered hibernation works fine.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unplug the AC
2. Let battery drain until critical
3. Plug in AC
4. Power machine back on
Actual results:
Machine resumes and then immediately hibernates again.
Expected results:
Machine should simply resume.
Additional info:
This is on a Compal N38N2 laptop, which near as I can tell is fairly obscure.
This particular model does not seem to have been OEM'ed to any big names, though
many other Compal models are. It has a mobile PIII 700E CPU, and a VIA chipset:

can you "do: lshal -m" and then hibernate, resume and then attach the log
please. Many thanks.
I think I've fixed this.
Can you try gnome cvs please:
2006-03-13 Richard Hughes <firstname.lastname@example.com>
* data/gnome-power-manager.schemas.in, src/gpm-prefs.h: Add
/apps/gnome-power-manager/policy_suppression_timeout so we can start to ignore
events after we have returned from suspend/hibernate.
* src/gpm-manager.c (gpm_manager_is_policy_timout_valid): Add functionality so
we can ignore events from resume. This is adapted from the ubuntu mega-patch by
Daniel Silverstone. This should fix rh:185273.
Can someone package 2.14.0 for FC5 please -- it should fix this bug.
Sure, let me add it to the FC5 Update tracker, and we can push an update soon
after FC5. We already have a final tree candidate for the initial release of
FC5, so its too late for that.
Hi Callum,
Can you try the gnome-power-manager in updates-testing and report whether or not
it fixes your issues?
Seems to have fixed it. Thanks.
Great, pushed to updates

Last year, on November 4, I quit smoking. It just occurred to me today to look up the date and lo and behold, it's been a year! I had quit a few years ago, in February 2007, but by July 2008 I was smoking again, after having gained around 50 pounds. The two experiences were very different...how, you ask?
How did I quit?
Both times I quit cold turkey. The first time, my doctor made me pick a date and mark it on the calendar. That was extremely helpful. He wrote me a prescription for Chantix, but I couldn't afford it, and after doing some research I was glad I hadn't taken it - it can have serious side effects for someone suffering from depression. On quit day, I remember I had one cigarette left and I smoked it on my way to work, and for a long time I regretted that I hadn't sat down and really "enjoyed" it. I wasn't willing to buy another pack, though, so that's how it went.
This time, I probably made sure to "enjoy" it, but I honestly don't remember my last smoke!
How did I get through the first few days and weeks?
The first time I quit, I was acutely aware of exactly how many days it had been since I had quit. It was shockingly easier than I thought, although that may have been because I ate my way through all my triggers. I thought I would go easy on myself and allow myself to eat a little more than usual, but in reality I pretty much pulled my chair up to the buffet and never got up. I was proud of myself, though - I considered myself an ex-smoker, a successful quitter.
This time, it was totally different. I never remember my quit date - it just occurred to me this morning that I was probably close to a year of not smoking. I didn't count hours or days. I was exercising at that point, so I did not fall back into negative eating patterns (that happened later, after I quit exercising!). I must have felt ready and confident, since I chose to quit right before the holidays! My reward to myself for quitting was joining the gym and I actually quit the day of my first session with my trainer. It really felt much more like I just walked away from smoking rather than "quit." There was no struggle. In my mind now, I consider myself a non-smoker, not an ex-smoker.
What was the hardest part?
Well the most frustrating thing for sure is the way my metabolism seems to come to a grinding halt. My doctor told me that it can take up to a year for your metabolism to readjust after quitting, and I feel that for sure! The weight gain the first time is largely what drove me to start smoking again, I was just SO TIRED of being fat. At that time, I was very stressed out, going through a lot, and smoking seemed easier than, oh I don't know, exercising and trying to lead a healthier life!
I definitely feel that my metabolism was similarly affected this time, and as you know, I am experiencing major frustrations, but it never crosses my mind to start smoking again. And my kids are so proud of me, I would have a hard time disappointing them again! Or myself, for that matter.
No, not this time. The smell of someone smoking nauseates me. I can't believe that I ever convinced myself I could cover the smell! I am so sensitive to it now, I can smell someone in the next car over smoking!
Will it last?
I believe it's gonna stick this time. Despite having a hard time losing weight, there is too much that I want to do and a healthy lifestyle is too important to me now. I did not have that to fall back on last time. The key to my success this time is definitely continuing to be active and set new goals for myself.
Happy anniversary to me, Liz, the non-smoker!

One of my goals for 2018 is to wear this charming Little Black Jacquard Bow Jacket from Erin Fetherston for Target. Technically I can wear it now, but I look more like a circus monkey;) Get me a petite hat, a pair of cymbals and I will be good to go. Wink. Wink. But, all jest aside I love this Jacket!!!! I picked it up years ago (2007 to be exact) on clearance after swooning over it on my many trips to Target. The Erin Fetherston for Target collection was one of the first partnerships with Target to bring high-end designers to Target at affordable prices. Now it is a staple of their Marketing Campaign.
The Jacket originally retailed for $44.99 and was a stylish steal on Sale. The craftsmanship is excellent and the attention to detail purely delightful. It did have a matching skirt counterpart and those two together... Looks like something Tony would suggest for Princess Margaret. You get my drift if you have been binge watching The Crown Season 2:). Very chic to say the least. I myself always planned on pairing it with a pair of jeans and white graphic t-shirt. A casual, yet bad-ass version of my affinity for lady-like with a dash of Courtney Love circa Live Through this era (minus the smeared red lipstick and tiara of course. Been there, did that 1994;)
Now I bet you want one too. You can't have mine! But, I am sure you can maybe find one on E-Bay. I mean how can you not resist, especially after seeing the detail of the liner. Maybe that's where I got my idea for my bangs?!? OK it was the inspiration;)
Now as always I am curious if you have a Goal outfit? Something that motivates you to be your best healthy version?
Love, C.

Hi! My name is Bart but my friends call me Bubba. I am a born again Christian since 1980 that turned away from God for many years. The reasons I turned away from God was because childhood trauma and abuse and I had no understanding of Gods purpose for my life. Basically I blamed God for the abuse and decided that I could do a better job with my life than Him. I also believe. that at that time God lifted His protection from me and let me make a lifetime of bad choices. Such as a 25 year plus addiction to drugs, prospected for a short time for an outlaw motorcycle club, and believed most of my life that I had committed what the Bible calls the unpardonable sin ( blasphemy of the Spirit) and could never find my way into Gods Loving Grace. I believe out of desperation and no where to turn, I finally prayed a prayer asking for God to show Himself to me in a way that I could not mistake Him for anyone but God. AND HE DID! I have returned now stronger in faith than ever. I have been healed of my drug addiction and been redeemed by Christs saving grace, The faith I have doesn't come from me it comes from Christs Spirit who lives in me.
All my poetry I believe reflects what God has done and is doing in my life today. My purpose for this blog is to share these things that God has done for me in hopes that it will show others that there is still hope. Please feel free to share my poetry with anyone who may need a word of encouragement. If you'd like to share my work in any form, you must contact me first by making a comment to this About page. I will then contact you and we can have a discussion.
Thank you and God Bless!

Festival of Trees for 2018
POC: Anne MarieT
The design for the 2018 LLQG Festival of Trees entry is crazy quilt blocks sewn together in a fashion that will cover a 4 foot wide Christmas tree form. Be part of the project!!
Anne MarieT will be at the Tuesday Evening Edition meetings at the Wolfeboro Community Center on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, between 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. If you wish to contribute to the 2018 Festival of Trees project, please bring any of the following:
- red and green fabric donations for Crazy Quilting
- Silk, Satin, Sateen/Cotton Velvet, Velvet - best with Rayon backing, Suede, Taffeta, Cotton with Silver or Gold
- Christmas themed embroidery patterns suitable for Redwork embroidery
- Please bring copies of your patterns so they do not have to be returned. If they appear to be too large, not to worry, as they can be made smaller to fit the blocks with a copy machine. And remember patterns can even come from children's coloring books!
- No copyrighted patterns, please.
Anne MarieT is looking for members to serve on the 2018 Christmas Tree Festival Committee. The committee will brain storm ideas, set a schedule for making kits, and talk about the assembly of the quilt. The blocks will consist of simple running stitch embroidery, most often used in Redwork in the center of the blocks. Foundation piecing technique will be used to add red and green borders to the blocks. The blocks will then be embellished with decorative, but basic stitches sewn with cotton floss and silk ribbons that are so often seen in Crazy Quilts.
Remember, if you need instructions on any of the hand stitching techniques, Anne MarieT will be at the Evening Edition meetings at the Community Center on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, between 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm for assistance.

As the cooler spring weather gives way to the hot summer months, you'll be spending more time outside with your dog, walking and playing in the sunshine. But while you are having fun, you will need to keep your dog cool to protect him from heat-related illness and injury.
Most people don't think about their pets getting sunburned but they can. White and lightly colored pets can suffer sunburn just as we can if they experience too much exposure to the sun. Long-term sun exposure can lead to skin damage and in some cases skin cancers. Limit the amount of time your fair-haired pets stay in direct sunlight. Basking in a sunny window counts as time in the sun. If any type of discoloration or sore appears, consult your veterinarian for a check-up. Areas that are commonly affected are the ears, eyelids and nose.
Heat Injury
When a dog's body temperature exceeds his ability to cool himself a heat injury occurs. Unlike people, a dog's normal body temperature ranges between 100 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. When body temperature elevates above 106 F, normal cooling mechanisms are overwhelmed, which results in a serious condition requiring intervention and medical treatment. This type of temperature elevation is different from a fever, which is a normal response to inflammation or infection.
Heat stress can happen quite rapidly, sometimes only in a few minutes, especially in dogs that live primarily indoors. Even pets that live or spend a lot of time outside can succumb to the heat if their cooling mechanisms are exceeded by weather extremes.
Some breeds are more prone to heat injury than others. Large double-coated breeds like the Chow and dogs bred for life in cold climates such as Malamutes, Huskies, American Eskimos and Newfoundlands often have little tolerance for heat and humidity. Dogs with shorter faces such as Bulldogs, Pugs, Shar-peis and Boston Terriers have less ability to cope with a heat load due to their short and narrow respiratory systems.
Fortunately, your Farm Bureau member benefit provider, USAPetMed offers tips to help your dog stay cool in the summer.
1. Offer an ice pack or wet towel to lay on.
2. Add ice cubes to the water dish.
3. Make shade by stringing up a tarp, cloth, or use a shade screen.
4. Place a wading pool with shallow, cool water in a shady spot in the yard.
5. Bring a collapsible water dish on your walks.
6. Avoid walking on hot pavement and consider booties.
7. Plan outdoor playtime and walks in the early morning hours.

In her 300th landmark movie (coincidentally produced by her husband Boney Kapoor) Sri demonstrates why she is the high-priestess of desi cinema. Here she turns in a captivating performance; happiness, helplessness, vendetta and victory, she walks you through the entire gamut of emotions with panache. Supporting her ably is her onscreen husband Anand (Adnan), who plays the polished gent with flair. Nawazuddin, with his quirks and one-liners, turns in a class act and Akshaye Khanna, who is in terrific form here, forces you to ponder why he takes such long matinee breaks.

When you start creating scenes to topline the actor not plot, such as it is, you do disservice to both. 'Mom' is so busy keeping Sridevi centre-stage that it makes this rape-and-revenge flick much less impactful than it could have been.
Reviewer: Hindustan Times
Rating: 3/5 Stars
Full Review: Click here
To give credit where it's due, Mom does fan the audience's anger against people who indulge in anti-women crimes. However, it never intends to create a full-blown fire that would change the attitude of potential criminals in similar situations. Instead, Sridevi takes it upon herself to deliver justice – thereby undermining the authority of law and related machinery. This is where Pink excelled.
The good thing is, Mom does what it intends to: Become a film that can hold the audience's attention for 148 minutes. There are no intricacies that unfold step by step (it's mostly predictable, really), but Girish Kohli's screenplay ensures an entertaining drama.
