I haven't kept everyone updated for a good few weeks now as things have been very very busy for me… in particular the last couple of weeks have been crazy. So I will start by rewinding back to Sunday December 15th.. the day before my mum was due to fly home from Kunming, and when I would have to start surviving by myself!!
Kunming is known as the 'city of eternal spring' and when I researched its climate before arriving, I found on numerous websites that it said it does not have bitter coldness in winter or extreme heat in summer. It sounded like perfect weather for me, and I therefore packed accordingly. And the first few weeks demonstrated this nice mild climate. But of course, the weather then took a slight turn and sure enough, on Sunday December 15th, snow fell in Kunming for the first time in 10 years. It had been getting very very cold in the run up to this, and when I saw that snow was forecast I was pretty surprised. It wasn't really settling though so we went about our day and night and didn't think too much of it…
And then we woke up early on Monday morning to go to the gym and were greeted with this.
Quite a lot of snow had fallen overnight (by Kunming standards anyway), and the sky was heavy with snowfall still. We trekked to the hospital (my mum tipped me out of my chair into an icy puddle on the way…but that's another story) and the view from the gym window was extremely festive.
But, as I mentioned before, this was the day that my mum was due to catch her internal flight to Shanghai, and then her connecting flight back to Heathrow. We were informed early in the day that her flight was delayed, but an hour later we heard reports that the airport was in fact closed. The snow was now a massive inconvenience and we were frantically trying to find another way for mum to get to Shanghai. We enquired about a train, but that takes two days, and after hearing that the airport was re-opening in the afternoon once the snow had stopped, mum went there with Jenny (Ali's family's translator who is so lovely and beyond helpful!) to see if she could catch a different flight.
From the sounds of it, the airport was absolute carnage. Ten thousand people were stranded there as 5cm of snow had covered the runways and meant that all planes were grounded. As this type of weather is so rare (Jenny, who is my age, has only seen snow two or three times in her life), it is not surprising that the airport was not particularly prepared. Over two thousand military and civilian volunteers were called in to help clear the runways.
As well as the runways being covered in snow, the conditions were a near white-out. Visibility was extremely poor and it would have been very dangerous for flying.
So after spending a couple of hours at the airport trying to get a flight, mum and Jenny abandoned hope and returned home. Mum re-booked her flight for the weekend and it meant that I would get to keep her to an extra few days.
Of course the snow had completely melted by Tuesday, and the airport was running smoothly again by Wednesday. But the temperatures remained unseasonably cold, getting to about -5°C at night, and barely getting above zero in the day. This would be bearable if it was warm inside, but nowhere in Kunming has central heating. It is deemed unnecessary as the weather is 'spring-like' all year round (except for now!). We have a couple of portable heaters in the apartment, but can only run two at a time because it overloads the electricity and causes a powercut. The gym is also quite cold. There are quite a few draughts as it is a large open plan area of the hospital.
I will also mention at this point that body temperature regulation is something that is affected when you have a spinal injury. I have found a good explanation from the apparelyzed website to explain this.
" A normal, healthy human is able to maintain a constant body temperature of approximately 98.6°F despite the temperature of the environment. In a hot environment, the body sends a signal to the brain via the spinal cord to say the body is overheating, the brain then sends a signal back down the spinal cord and tells the body to cool itself by perspiring which evaporates and cools the skin preventing hyperthermia. In cold weather, the body senses the lower temperature and our brain tells our body to constrict the blood vessels in our extremities, and keep the warm blood around our vital organs preventing hypothermia. Our brain also tells us to put more clothes on to warm ourselves up. Most people with complete spinal cord injuries do not sweat below the level of the injury. With the loss of the ability to sweat or vasoconstrict within affected dermatomes the patient becomes poikilothermic and needs careful control of their environmental conditions. Therefore, if a paraplegic or quadriplegic is in an outside temperature over 90°F, especially when the humidity is high, the body core temperature will begin to rise (Poikilothermia) and the individual will become hyperthermic. Likewise in a cold environment, the body may not be able to get the messages through to the brain that the body is cooling down, and if left untreated, the person will soon become hypothermic. "
I really struggle with regulating my body temperature and I am often freezing cold when no one else is. I pretty much always have a hot water bottle with me, and once I have got cold I find it extremely hard to warm up again. I find it very frustrating, but it is just one of the many secondary complications of a spinal injury so I try not to dwell on it too much.
A few days into the 'cold snap' I was getting pretty fed up. I would come home from the gym for lunch and would get straight into bed with numerous blankets, duvets and hot water bottles. It would take the entire 2 hour lunch break for me to warm up, only to then get cold again in the arctic gym in the afternoon. So I mentioned to mum that if it were a direct Kunming to Heathrow flight then I would just go home with her until the worst of the Kunming winter weather was over. She went off to the shops, but returned 5 minutes later and announced that she thought I should come home for Christmas and come back when it had warmed up.
I thought the idea was crazy at first, but after speaking to my dad and finding out that in fact it was pretty easy to change my flights, I decided that I actually really wanted to spend Christmas at home with my family. I have a great home-gym at my parents' house so after discussing with the physios and Dr Zhu, I was given their blessing to return home. They were not keen on the idea at first as they feel I am progressing well on the programme and taking time off could slow my progress. But I have promised them that I will keep exercising whilst I am in England, and I will return to Kunming soon to pick up where I left off. I actually think that the cold weather was having an adverse affect on my walking… I was doing much better before the cold weather arrived.
I flew home with my mum and arrived in England on Monday (23rd). I decided not to tell my sisters as I wanted to surprise them. And that was possibly the greatest Christmas present of all (I know that sounds so cheesy!) Pip burst into tears when she saw me, Sam screamed (like a proper loud terrifying scream) and Nicky just didn't seem to believe that I was actually home. I have had the nicest week being in a nice warm cosy house surrounded by my family and it genuinely has been one of the best Christmases ever.

The announced two weeks ago that Sir Alan Collins was moving to a new job did not lead to a jump in the FTSE 100 or a strengthening in the euro-dollar exchange rate. I would not be surprised if the former diplomat's career details did not make a line in any newspaper in the UK. It should have done.
Sir Alan is the new director general of the Commonwealth Business Council, a federation of business and government leaders that promotes trade between the members of the Commonwealth. He is a career diplomat who has spent periods as ambassador to Singapore, Taiwan and the Philippines as well as spending a period on secondment to Shell's international operations. He is also a Brit.
He replaces Dr Mohan Kaul, who has been director general since the business council's first started in 1997. It was Dr Kaul's insight that led to the launch of the council. A former advisor to the Indian government, he asked the very simple question – why wasn't such an obvious grouping of countries focusing on what the private sector's role could be in developing mutually advantageous business relationships under the Commonwealth umbrella?
The council was inaugurated at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Edinburgh. At that stage the value of trade between Commonwealth countries totalled $2 trillion (£1.26trn) according to a study from the London School of Economics. Now it is $4 trillion.
As this country watches the slow motion car-crash that is the eurozone economic crisis, Britain has on its doorstep a ready made relationship with emerging market economies such as India, South Africa, Nigeria and Malaysia. As the Twitterati would say – who knew?
This country's greatest challenge for 2012 and beyond is carving out Britain's role as a global player in a new world order. This is a world where trade flows are developing most rapidly along a golden corridor stretching from Latin America, through Africa to China and the rest of the Far East. As HSBC has described it, this 21st century Silk Road will define world economic and business relationships for our children and grand-children.
In twenty years' time it will be Britain's ability to be a part of that trade flow, acting often as financial mediator to facilitate transactions, which will determine our position in the economic league tables. Get this right and the trials and tribulations of reorganising the Greek retirement age will be of rather less import. Stephen Hester's bonus? Do you think they really care in Singapore?
Britain's access will be determined in part by how we use our historic ties to Commonwealth partners. Serious questions should be asked about why trading groups where the UK has an in-built advantage and is culturally comfortable - the Commonwealth - are not promoted over those relationships which will be forever associated with rather more scratchy characteristics – Europe.
This not a debate about one route or another – Europe is of vital importance to us as a trading block and Germany, for example, is our second largest export destination behind the US. This is a debate about priorities. Historically, India, Australia, Singapore and Canada were leading UK trading partners but since the European single market Germany, France, the Netherlands and Belgium have assumed far greater importance. Only five Commonwealth countries make it into the UK's top 25 export destinations.
There are huge positives to be gained from the Commonwealth. It is estimated that shared language, legal and accounting systems can reduce trading costs by up to 20pc for British businesses. Exports to India from the UK are increasing by 9pc a year, to Canada 18pc and to Australia 31pc.
We must enhance this momentum. At the last Commonwealth Business Forum in October in Perth, Australia, in October over 1,400 business and government leaders came together from more than 50 countries.
The UK was well represented. But, significantly, one of the largest delegations was not from a Commonwealth country at all but from China. There is now a Commonwealth-China co-operation group and the Commonwealth Business Forum has just signed up its first Chinese sponsor, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. This is what is known in diplomatic circles with which Sir Alan is well acquainted as "a bloody obvious signal".
Of course, being a member of the Commonwealth does not confer any rights on the UK. The fact that the Indian government chose the French Dassault Rafale over the BAE-backed Typhoon shows that a glitzy trade visit by the Prime Minister to India last year is no substitute for a hard-headed consideration of the bottom line.
The Typhoon lost quite simply because it was $5bn more expensive according to Indian ministry of defence officials. One was quoted in The Times of India saying that the Rafale "beat the Typhoon hollow".
It must be wondered how much that extra life-cycle cost for the Typhoon came about because of the "European approach" of bringing together not just BAE but Italy's Finmeccania and the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) in a classic euro-soup.
This summer, London will host the next Commonwealth Economic Forum. What better opportunity to raise our horizons beyond our nearest neighbours in Europe and strike out as a leading member of a new trading block fit for the challenges of a fundamentally changing global economy.
The PM's business
What type of capitalist is David Cameron? It's an important question which has been muddied in recent months by a Government suffering from an attack of "push-me, pull-me" syndrome.
On the one hand Mr Cameron leads a Coalition Government some members of which are not naturally pre-disposed to the private sector. He also knows the polls put some business leaders somewhere south of estate agents when it comes to public esteem.
On the other, Mr Cameron is also, the last time I looked, a Tory, and therefore a natural supporter of free markets, business success and lower levels of regulation.
Those close to him describe the Prime Minister as a "Google capitalist" – someone who applauds insurgent businesses which take risks and, if successful, make a good deal of money. At a Number 10 breakfast for angel investors last week the PM went out of his way to insist he was "intensely relaxed" about people being paid a lot of money for their labours.
Mr Cameron makes a distinction between such entrepreneurs and what might be described as the "bureaucratic capitalism" of large corporations. He is less impressed with the Bob Diamond's of this world who have risen to the top as salaried and bonus rich employees.
It's a tricky distinction that I am not sure holds water – the CEOs of FTSE companies are in the main skilled practitioners. The danger for the PM is that in revealing his ambivalence towards the "bureaucrats" he ends up sending out a negative message to the whole of the private sector. He should beware.

And the schumann resonance was 7hz up until the 1980's.
The pathetic fallacy or anthropomorphic fallacy is the description of inanimate natural objects in a manner that endows them with human feelings, thoughts and sensations. It is when the author expresses the character's feelings through his/her surroundings. The pathetic fallacy is a special case of the fallacy of reification.

I was just going to take my afternoon power nap, if you never see a post from me again, you know what happened
The Schumann resonance is not increasing in frequency, and in fact already has multiple higher frequency spectral lines at the frequencies predicted by basic quantum physics. The fundamental frequency of 7.8 Hz being determined by the size of the Earth, the speed of light, and nothing else, with the higher frequency spectral lines in addition being determined by the size of Plank's constant....
None of which are changing.
The amplitude (i.e. intensity) of the Schumann resonance is, however, not constant, and appears to be extremely dependent upon tropical (and hence global) temperature. Indeed preliminary results seem to indicate that a mere one degree increase in temperature seems to be correlated with a doubling of the Schumann resonance.
Topic: Geology
Expert: Dr Thomas Bell
Date: 12/14/2006
Subject: Schumann Resonance
Dear Dr Bell,
I have been reading up on schumann resonance. My information comes mostly from the Internet. There are some websites which claim that while this naturally occurring wave in the earth's electromagnetic field has maintained an average frequency of 7.5 Hz, it has been steadily increasing over the past few decades. Is this true? If it is, what does it imply and how will it impact the biosphere?
I would be grateful for any information that you could provide me with to shed light on this issue.
Thanking You.
Amit Balani.
Measurements of Schumann Rsonance (SR)have only been made for the last few decades. If there is a cyclic fluctuation in the frequency that is longer than a few decades, we cannot see it yet. There seems to be general agreement among earth scientists that SR is influenced by global temperature and solar activity.
If there is an impact on the biosphere, no scientists seem to have detected it.
Probably the most authoritative source of information on the web can be found here:
Stability of the Schumann Resonance
The Schumann resonance frequency observed at this observatory does not exhibit any unusual change or drift since the start of observations by the BDSN* in 1995.
Figures 1 and 2 below, which show the daily averages of the first Earth-ionosphere cavity resonance frequency measured at the PKD station in Parkfield and at the Arrival Heights station in Artarctica, exhibit a typical natural variability < 0.3 Hz. This variability results from the solar short wave radiation, which ionises the atmosphere at 90-100 km height. (Figures by Dr. Martin Fullekrug.)

In its review of institutions, the Higher Learning Commission seeks a culture of aspiration and continual improvement rather than satisfaction of minimum requirements. It also seeks to acknowledge the great diversity of its member institutions. For these reasons it uses the term criteria rather than standards.
The accreditation process is governed by the Criteria for Accreditation. Within the Criteria there are Criterion Statements and Core Components that ensure institutional effectiveness.
The Criteria for Accreditation are the standards of quality by which the Commission determines whether an institution merits accreditation or reaffirmation of accreditation.
The institution's mission is clear and articulated publicly; it guides the institution's operations.
Core Components
1. A. The institution's mission is broadly understood within the institution and guides its operations.
1. The mission statement is developed through a process suited to the nature and culture of the institution and is adopted by the governing board.
2. The institution's academic programs, student support services, and enrollment profile are consistent with its stated mission
3. The institution's planning and budgeting priorities align with and support the mission. (This sub-component may be addressed by reference to the response to Criterion 5.C.1.)
1. B. The mission is articulated publicly.
1. The institution clearly articulates its mission through one or more public documents, such as statements of purpose, vision, values, goals, plans, or institutional priorities.
2. The mission document or documents are current and explain the extent of the institution's emphasis on the various aspects of its mission, such as instruction, scholarship, research, application of research, creative works, clinical service, public service, economic development, and religious or cultural purpose.
3. The mission document or documents identify the nature, scope, and intended constituents of the higher education programs and services the institution provides.
1. C. The institution understands the relationship between its mission and the diversity of society.
1. The institution addresses its role in a multicultural society.
2. The institution's processes and activities reflect attention to human diversity as appropriate within its mission and for the constituencies it serves.
1. D. The institution's mission demonstrates commitment to the public good.
1. Actions and decisions reflect an understanding that in its educational role the institution serves the public, not solely the institution, and thus entails a public obligation.
2. The institution's educational responsibilities take primacy over other purposes, such as generating financial returns for investors, contributing to a related or parent organization, or supporting external interests.
3. The institution engages with its identified external constituencies and communities of interest and responds to their needs as its mission and capacity allow.
The institution acts with integrity; its conduct is ethical and responsible.
The institution provides high quality education, wherever and however its offerings are delivered.
The institution demonstrates responsibility for the quality of its educational programs, learning environments, and support services, and it evaluates their effectiveness for student learning through processes designed to promote continuous improvement.
The institution's resources, structures, and processes are sufficient to fulfill its mission, improve the quality of its educational offerings, and respond to future challenges and opportunities. The institution plans for the future.

Be a leader for positive change in your community
We are all reminded about the importance of reducing our water usage during the summer months when damn levels are at higher risk but in reality conserving our water supply should be a way of life not just a seasonal focus.
Sure, we can't individually make a big difference to Water Conservation and the environment. However, by upgrading your home with the three technologies below you are not only implementing positive changes towards long term solutions, you are also being a leader in promoting change to your neighbours, friends and families.
Further more if you post images of your upgrades through social media too, your peers may follow suit, creating a positive wave of change that can have a significant and long lasting impact.
If you roll out these three recommended upgrades to your home you will permanently reduce water consumption and promote sustainability in your household.
Call us now when you're ready to make the change and one of our plumbers will be able to give you a no obligation fixed price quote for all or any of the following:
- Start saving to install a rainwater tank system to supply your hose taps or irrigation system. This positive addition to your home will significantly reduce your water bill, promote water conservation to neighbours and friends and is of course a positive selling point when selling your home. As a guide a 2,000l slimline tank costs around $1000. If the water tank can be installed adjacent to a bathroom or laundry then it can easily be connected to a toilet or washing machine too.
- Update all single flush toilets to dual flush cisterns. The dual flush toilets use two third less water than an old full flush toilet (a family of four would save at least 11,000l a year) and it is the perfect excuse to upgrade your bathroom design at the same time with some new tapware and accessories. There are also better WELS rated tap ware which help to conserve water too.
- Our third recommendation is to install a filter tap. We offer a wide selection of solutions for all budgets. The reason we place these so highly in the eco-friendly home upgrades is because by filling your own water bottles you reduce the need to buy bottled water which has had an awful impact on our beach and ocean environment as well as global warming. See our other article on bottle water from last month here.
Another thing we can assist you with in making your home more efficient is by fixing your leaking pipes, running toilets or dripping taps; any of these culprits can waste up to 24,000 litres of water a year! If you believe you may have a water leak click here to follow our DIY water leak test or call us now and we can send you a plumber to investigate your concerns.

When you resolve yourself to work toward fitness goals, it can be difficult to find the motivation to keep working toward them, especially as you get caught up in your old routine after the holidays. Fitness may move to the back of your mind as you focus on the new year and other aspects of your life. However, it's important to continue making fitness a priority and take care of your health. Here are some tips for staying motivated and continuously work toward your fitness goals.
Find a workout partner
One of the most effective ways to stay motivated for fitness is to work out with someone else. If you have someone relying on you to go to the gym, you'll be more likely to go and you might even develop friendly competition. When you're picking a workout partner, make sure you choose a friend who will actually motivate you to workout. Do not pick someone that'll influence you to skip your exercise and go out for drinks or dinner instead.
Vary your exercise
One of the issues that ends successful fitness routines is becoming mired in repetitive activity that you get tired of doing. Varying your workout routine helps you from becoming bored with what you're doing and also makes it easier to break through plateaus. Try different exercise routines or fitness classes and you'll definitely find it's easier to reach your goals.
Focus on the end goal
In order to continuously motivate yourself, remember why you created a fitness goal in the first place. Did you want to improve your overall health? Is there a weight you'd like to reach? Are you training for a marathon? No matter why you're focusing on fitness, remember how great you'll feel once you reach your goal.
Get into a routine
Establishing a solid exercise routine is the best way to stick to working toward your fitness goals. After you get used to heading to the gym or a regular fitness class, it'll turn into part of your daily or weekly routine. A regular routine makes fitness a part of your life and it seems less like work. Create your routine by working out at the same time every day; do it before or after work or over lunch.
Set smaller goals
It can be difficult to reach your end goal because most fitness goals require a lot of hard work and take a significant amount of time; there's a lot of opportunity to become discouraged if you aren't seeing progress quickly enough. Set smaller goals on the way to your larger goal in order to continually motivate yourself. When you reach a small goal, reward yourself in some way then start working toward the next milestone.

About specialty «Economics of Enterprises»
The world is undergoing significant changes and these changes are fleeting.
Now we can see with our own eyes how disappear once mighty banks and industrial companies, how become powerful and begin to dictate terms was once poor and undeveloped countries. We can argue about whose fault is it and what to do. However, one fact can not be questioned: first of all the reasons of all these processes are economic factors. The economy of the world is created not only and not so much by talk of politicians at the international level or lightning reactions of billionaires and financial geniuses. It largely created by the efforts of those people who are engaged in economic work at the enterprise level. Moreover, almost anyone of mentioned rulers of the world and money can say that wouldn't understand economics on a global scale, not knowing the mysteries of enterprises activity.
If You are active and thinking person, if You want to engage in activity that has a practical focus, precise and unquestionable benchmarks of success, the specialty «Economics of Enterprises» - just for You.
Remember - a lot in Your life depends not on what they tell You but how You think by Yourself. Unfortunately now the spread opinion get about little prospect of economic profession and glut of spesialists in economics of domestic labor market. In this way likely people think who do not care about Your home, Your city or village, Your state, solving the problems of the economy all these «cells» of being belongs to economist. Laziness and lack of patriotism and unwillingness to change something in Your own life and the life of our relatives generate not very educated graduate economists. And it concerns not only Ukrainian universities - with such traits of character You with the same success can be in the same line of the unemployed with the graduate, for example, of Harvard Business School.
We hope that You understand that the prospects of quality economic education are in our country, especially in our city. As in life, so much depends on You and Your desire to learn. Life gives You chances - You choose, use them or not.
One of such chances is going to the State Higher Educational Establishment «National Mining University» to the specialty «Economics of Enterprises».
Economists for the qualification of «bachelor» are prepared for a wide range of companies in different industries.
Are You interested? Then the National Mining University offers You the opportunity to not only get an education of economist, but also deepen Your knowledge of foreign languages, take part in international programs, visit universities in Poland, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, share knowledge with foreign students.
Moreover, You have the opportunity to get qualification of economist with the right teaching of economics (master's degree). It means that with this diploma You can not only work on the economic positions, but also You can teach economics at all levels - from school to university.
If You will want to deepen Your knowledge and become a scientist, You also have all possibilities – there are postgraduate and doctoral studies at the university.
You can see that the prospects are more than enough. These are real prospects
The demand for such professionals will always exist: while it will be economy there will be enterprises – it's foundation.
And You can become a real master in this direction. Levers of economic systems management at different levels are in the hands of economist. Moreover, without strong economic knowledge management activity becomes either meaningless or even harmful to whole society.
We hope that our frank conversation helped You to understand how economic sciences are necessary and important. You should think about Your future. We are sure that You heed the advice and choose our university and our specialty «Economics of Enterprises».

The sound echoed throughout Montefiore Medical Center, like somebody pounding dozens of nails around the clock.
Wham! Wham! Wham!
The source was actually a pill banger, used to crush medications for geriatric patients who can't swallow whole pills.
The process occurred repeatedly each shift, disrupting sleeping patients and annoying employees. It was finally replaced by a pill grinder, more pepper mill than hammer, part of a noise-reduction campaign that includes rubber wheels on instrument carts, soft-soled shoes and posters reminding staff members, patients and visitors to pipe down.
Margaret Amato, clinical director of nursing at Montefiore, said research has shown that the noise level during the change of shift at a hospital can reach an unhealthy 113 decibels.
"Whereas a motorcycle is 95 decibels, for example," Amato said. "We at Montefiore are trying to get in the 50 to 60 range."
Hospital noise is not a new complaint. A 2004 study at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., found that noise-reduction efforts as simple as closing the door to a patient's room resulted in cutting the peak decibel level to 86 and the average to 42, quieter than a library.
Experts say the problem is worldwide.
"Hospital noise levels are far too high internationally and this has been known for decades," said Roger Ulrich, a professor of architecture at Texas A&M University and a visiting professor at University College in London.
Ulrich said the effects of hospital noise include lost sleep, higher blood pressure and lower overall patient satisfaction.
He recently worked on a study of cardiac patients at a Swedish hospital and found that patients in rooms with sound-absorbing ceiling tiles were less likely to be readmitted within 30 to 60 days than those in rooms with the typical hard, sound-reflecting tiles.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

"The cost of readmission for a cardiac patient is very high," he said. "Preventing one or two readmissions would save so much money that that alone would pay for the cost of upgrading the acoustic ceilings throughout the cardiology floor."
Plastic cart wheels, TV headsets
Ilene Busch-Vishniac, a professor of mechanical engineering at Johns Hopkins University, said that major sources of hospital noise include heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems — things that are part of a building's design — and that "administrative solutions" like mandating rubber-soled shoes have a limited effect.
"They work for very short periods of time, and just a little while later everyone's back to doing what they were doing originally," she said.
At Montefiore, a teaching hospital in the Bronx, the anti-noise campaign includes both the administrative measures mentioned by Busch-Vishniac and structural improvements that are part of ongoing renovations.
Elodia Mercier, an administrative nurse manager who implemented the program, said that in addition to replacing pill bangers and hard plastic cart wheels, changes include instituting a computerized drug-dispensing system.
Formerly, she said, drugs were kept in a locked cabinet and nurses would shout, "Who has the keys? Who has the keys? I need the keys for narcotics!"
In addition, the ring volume has been turned down on telephones and TVs have been fitted with headsets.
"Our goal is not to eliminate noise, because we can't," Mercier said. "Our goal is to decrease noise when and where possible."
More changes are in store at an eight-story facility — part of Montefiore's interconnected cluster of buildings — that is being renovated floor by floor.
Instead of the overhead paging system that patients now use to call for help, each nurse will be summoned individually with a beeper-like device.
Stanley Fine, interior designer for the hospital, said floors will have soft vinyl tiles, walls will be covered with fabric and even single-bed rooms will have curtains.
"Any fabric you add to the room helps absorb sound," he said. "We're doing everything possible to keep the patients comfortable."
But even during a visit to a ward that will be closed when patients are moved to the renovated building, the atmosphere seemed calmer than is typical at many hospitals. There was no shouting, no clatter of hard wheels on hard floor, no buzz of doctors and nurses being paged.
Mercier took out a device for measuring decibels. "Fifty, she said. "Before we were in the 70s and 80s."
Patient Lillette Wilson, 53, said she had noticed the difference.
"The noise in the hospital is limited," she said. "It's gone down. I feel if you're sick you need quietness to heal."

Jake is an amazing and well educated trainer. I have trained with him just shy of a year. He created goals and established a benchmark as to my individual fitness level and developed distinct training programs that focused on every aspect of physical fitness including all muscle groups in the upper and lower body, cardio training, core, strength, balance flexibility, etc.
Jake rotates his workouts to ensure complete fitness and variety. His passion, knowledge of physical fitness and most importantly technique (which is paramount for short and long term injury avoidance) is extremely impressive. He is constantly encouraging while challenging you to accomplish well executed exercise routines. Jake's attention is always focused on his client during the workout. He counts every rep and ensures that your form and positioning for each exercise is exact to gain the most benefit and to ensure complete muscle utilization.
When I began working out with MJ Fitness, I was the prototypical office employee that was overweight, lacked strength and was in poor cardio health. With a healthy diet and a total body workout regimen, I was able to successfully lose weight, increase my endurance and energy level, improve my overall mood and productivity, and add muscle mass. Due to the positive results, I gained the confidence to enter my first Triathlon in May 2012. Jake challenged my eating habits and exercise regimen and supported me in accomplishing my goal. It was one of my most gratifying events crossing the finish line! I would highly recommend Jake as a personal trainer for anyone who wants a trainer that is passionate, extremely knowledgeable, and cares about their client's physical fitness.

Exercise Effects on Progesterone
According to the American Fertility Association, progesterone is a hormone that is released by the female ovaries, regulating menstrual function and pregnancy. Through the menstrual cycle, progesterone prepares the lining of the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg, and if a pregnancy occurs, progesterone is needed throughout to support the growth and development of the baby. Various types of exercise can have effects on the way progesterone works in the body.
A Decrease in Progesterone
Strenuous or high-intensity exercise has been shown to decrease fertility in women by reducing the production of progesterone and directly affecting your menstrual cycle. According to BioNews, with a lack of production of progesterone, the menstrual cycle can be changed, or even delayed, which effects fertility and the ability to become pregnant. Although this is a temporary effect, excessive exercise can not only change your menstrual cycle, but it can also leave your body too exhausted to make the changes it needs to support a pregnancy.
Maintaining a Moderate Routine
As long as exercise is performed a moderate amount, rather than excessively, it can effect progesterone positively and regulate a problematic menstrual cycle, by boosting levels of progesterone if the body is not producing enough on its own. According to The American Heart Association, moderate exercise consists of 150 minutes of activity per week. The hormone progesterone – with the help of estrogen – act to burn fat, which moderate exercise can aid in. According to Metabolic Effect, Inc., higher-intensity, shorter duration activities, such as sprints can regulate progesterone levels, as long as this type of activity is not done in excess.
Lift for Stress
Weight training has benefits on levels of progesterone as well, according to Metabolic Effect, Inc. Moderate weight training performed two to three days per week can oppose the action of stress hormones, such as cortisol. When stress hormones are balanced, progesterone levels are more easily balanced as well. Moderate weight training also helps assure plenty of the human growth hormone, which progesterone plays a major role in, and is the hormone that supports a pregnancy, especially in the first trimester.
Keeping a Regular Cycle
Moderate levels of activity that are not performed in excess, including aerobic activity, short-duration high-intensity activity, and weight training two to three times a week, are best for keeping progesterone at a healthy level and keeping your menstrual cycle regular, especially if fertility is your goal. In most healthy adult women, exercise only negatively effects progesterone and throws off your fertility and menstrual cycle when high-intensity, excessive activity is performed.

A green smoothie that tastes like a banana shake.
Based on the actual marinade for sushi rice, this uses raw ingredients and produces an extremely similar taste.
Use in the Nori rolls recipe for a sweet, nutty, "meat" to compliment the sweet rice, salty seaweed and spicy wasabi.
This is a delicious nori roll. The slightly sweet, nutty flavor of the pate combines deliciously with the salty seaweed and the sweet kelp "rice." Add a little wasabe and shoyu to finish this flavor combination like no other.
Not completely raw, but almost (the peanut sauce is not raw, but could be made that way.) For as healthy as it is, this is SO good. Also, the secret to zuke pasta is lightly steaming the zuke and carrot strips until just warm - you should be able to comfortably touch with fingers. It keeps the zuke firm and doesn't allow it to release too much water.
A delicious and spicy blended soup that is super healthy. Heat on low until it reaches a warm temperature to keep it "raw" or simmer to desired warmth.
A tasty low calorie smoothie.
This smoothie comes out a rich brown color, but don't be turned off by that. It has a refreshing and deliciously sweet taste!
A corn chowder with delicious flavor that is super healthy.
A lily pad green smoothie that tastes like a creamy banana shake and is loaded with nutrients. I make this without ice for a cool, but not cold smoothie, which aids in digestion.

Andrew Leeds (Christopher Pelant / Bones)
2/2 photos signed and personalized
Hell yeah! I didn't expect to get this back since "Cult" wrapped in December, and got cancelled after the first season. Right now I'm not sure up to what episode of Bones I watched, but I still know I really enjoyed Andrew Leed's performance as Pelant. What is freaking me out, is that Pelant felt like Bones' very own Jim Moriarty (played by Andrew (!) Scott…) and now look at them. Somebody please tell me I'm crazy and just imagining the similarity!
I'm really happy about this unexpected success and I guess I'm gonna watch the rest of the show soon 😉 Funny how autograph successes can motivate me to start watching shows I actually stopped watching for some or no reason.

If you missed last week's post with the big announcement, you can read it here.
I'm excited about this new series (and I hope you are, too!). I'm not committing to write posts for this series on any form of a regular schedule. I'll probably post after each visit with my doctor, so about once a month for sure but I will also write whenever there's something share-worthy. I'm already a bit behind because my first doctor's appointment was already 3 weeks ago! Oh well.
Also: I'm quitting my kids' pseudonyms. They're just annoying. My daughter is Audrey, not Eleanor, and my son is Alistair, not Edward (though his middle name is Edwards, so it's close). Bear with me as I get old posts updated.
When I found out I was pregnant with Audrey we had lived in Hungary for over a year and though I had basically no experience with the medical system there I felt comfortable having my first child there because we had an amazing community who immediately surrounded us with support. I also had complete medical coverage through my work and if we returned to the US we would have paid out of pocket for everything. It was an easy decision to have her there. Continue reading

It was an odd feeling. The same faces, the same office, the same streets. Having my life, as it was some two months ago, miraculously "restored" as if nothing has changed. As if someone has pressed the fast-forward button, and here I am again. And just as quickly, the days have flown by. I leave […]

It's a little embarrassing to write after such a long break only to report that sorry folks, I'm heading home. But I am. In a little over a week. [Mini-factoid: I hate to pack unless it involves a backpack and an itinerary scribbled on the back of a napkin.] A thousand clichés flash through my […]

I've been a little quiet on the blog front for the last month or so, mainly because I've been pouring most of my waking hours on a system that is scheduled to see the light of day next month. It's sort of a "showcase/teaching" piece, which is why I've been cramming tons of technology bits […]

Taking advantage of a short respite from the summer rains, I took a short photowalk in the neighbourhood over the weekend.

You might be wondering what this forum is all about. What exactly is a "hardware leaderboard"?
From our Hardware Leaderboard Page here:
What is the PC Perspective HW Leaderboard? The PC Perspective Hardware Leaderboard is going to become the first place you look to find the components that will make up your next computer. On this page you will find our editor's combined opinions on the best systems you can build based on three different budgets. You can expand each of the systems (High End, Mid-Range and Budget) to show you all the components that we believe represent the best products in their price ranges.
Why a Leaderboard? We like the idea of a Leaderboard because it presents a no non-sense way of looking at the best hardware available. On this page, you won't find paragraph after paragraph telling you why this processor is better than that processor. Instead you'll find the quick and dirty on our editor's choices for the best hardware you can get. No beating around the bush here. Of course, if you still want to get our full and detailed opinions on various hardware, you can look through our reviews page. But the HW Leaderboard is going to give you our final decisions in one quick look.
This forum is here is for discussion, questions and suggestions on our leaderboard.

Part 1:
In the first workshop on color relationships and movement, we will start to understand colors and how they work.
We will then go over the primary color system to make sure everyone is clear on that and we have a solid foundation upon which to build
We will learn how colors get their colors.
Then we will move beyond the primary color system to a more effective way to work with color.
We will look on color separation, how one color becomes two, and how to use that to create exciting color and light that we see in the works of artists such as Georgia O'Keeefe and Van Gogh.
We will also work on Color mixing: how to more effectively mix paints to get the colors we want.
Recommend Text:
Blue and Yellow Don't make green
Part 2
In part 2 of the color workshop series, after we will look at the remaining fundamental color relationships. We will then work with these relationships to learn how to create movement with color. We will learn to create tension and resolution, separation and moving together of spaces.
Part 3
In this workshop we will take the color theory information we have learned and start thinking about how to use that as a basis of our composition. Thus we will start thinking about color relationships and color movement as fundamental aspects of our work.
We will also learn about further color principles, including ideas from Kandinsky, van Gogh, Matisse and others.
Topics include:
Composing with colors –
Using 3 primaries relationships
Using the Arnheim's movements –
Starting with one color, finding colors that come together
Finding a tension movement
Bringing in other tensions and completions as needed
Color movement
Color brightness
Color weight
Complementary completion in a painting
Kandinsky movements
Artists we will study: van Gogh, Matisse, Hiroshige, and others
Part 4
In this final section of the color workshop series, we will introduce some concepts of color interaction from such classic sources as Goethe, Itten and Albers. This will help us to further see color interactions and colors in context.
We will also take an opportunity to work on all we have learned in the context of a piece. You can bring in something you have started at home, or start something new. It can be an original piece, or based on a work of another artist.
We will also look at how different artists have taken a funadmentally different approach to using color, including: Monet, van Gogh,Gaugin Matisse, Bonnard and Miro.
Color is a complex subject that must be seen in the ever changing contexts they produce.

LISTEN to Siri Hustvedt on the pod HERE.
For many years I've read Siri Hustvedt's work and marveled at her intelligence. The breadth of her knowledge–of the sciences, arts and literature– is mind boggling. Now, she shares another example of her genius with the world; a compelling and radical collection of essays on art, feminism, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy called, A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women: Essays on Art, Sex, and the Mind. Speaking with Siri was such a privilege. Our convo ranges from the artwork of Louise Bourgeois, why she took so long to begin psychoanalysis, and the challenges of the female artist.
I think you'll be able to see from this picture just how special this conversation was. Please share with your friends if you like it.
xoxo Angie
Buy A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women here.
I have included the extensive bio from her website below because it's ever so interesting and will give you some background to this episode…
Siri Hustvedt was born February 19, 1955 in Northfield, a small town in southern Minnesota, to a Norwegian mother, Ester Vegan Hustvedt, and an American father, Lloyd Hustvedt. Most of her early life was spent in Northfield with her parents and three younger sisters, Liv, Asti [the scholar and author of Medical Muses], and Ingrid. She and her sisters attended local public schools. Ester stayed home with her children but later worked as a French instructor and in the library at St. Olaf College. Lloyd Hustvedt taught Norwegian language and literature at St. Olaf and was the first King Olav V professor of Norwegian Studies. He became Executive Secretary of The Norwegian American Historical Association, an unpaid position, to which he devoted four decades of his life. The Association was a repository for a vast archive of immigrant letters, documents, diaries, newspapers, recipes, and books, few of which had been put into order when Lloyd took over the job. He spent countless hours in Rolvaag Library at St. Olaf, documenting the archive materials. In 1966, he won the McKnight Prize for Literature for his biography of Rasmus Björn Anderson, a Norwegian American scholar and publisher. In 1980 he was awarded the Order of St. Olav, Knight First Class by the King Olav V. In 1985, he was the first American to be recognized by the America-Norway Heritage Fund for his contributions to Norwegian American understanding and for preserving the history of Norwegian immigrants in the United States. He died February 2, 2004. Ester still lives in Northfield.
Siri first visited Norway in 1959 when her mother took her and her sister Liv for a summer visit. In the academic year 1967/68, the family lived in Bergen. The four girls were enrolled in the Rudolph Steiner School and spent the following summer in Reykjavik, Iceland, where Lloyd was studying the sagas. In the autobiographical essay "Extracts From the Story of a Wounded Self," she describes her voluminous reading over that summer and her decision to become a writer. She continued her intensive reading and wrote poetry and stories during her high school years.
In 1972, she returned to Bergen to live with her mother's sister and her husband and spent a year as a student at the Cathedral School and graduated with an Artium degree. She returned to the United States, attended St. Olaf College, and graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. in history in 1977.
She worked for a year in her hometown as a bartender, saved money, and headed for New York City in 1978 to study English at Columbia University on a fellowship. She continued to write poetry, was a research assistant to the poet Kenneth Koch, a professor of English at Columbia, and worked at a number of odd jobs: waitress, researcher to a medical historian, department store model, and artist's studio assistant. In 1982 she began teaching as a graduate assistant at Queens College. Her first poem appeared in The Paris Review The Paris Review in 1981.
Later that same year, she met the writer Paul Auster at a poetry reading at the 92nd Street Y. She married him on Bloom's Day, June 16, 1982. In 1983, she published a small book of poems Reading to You with Station Hill Press.
In the spring of 1986, Hustvedt defended her doctoral dissertation on language and identity in Dickens: "Figures of Dust:A Reading of Charles Dickens' Our Mutual Friend."The dissertation turned on Dickens' use of pronouns, metaphor,and images of fragmentation as they relate to a vision of the self, concerns that have continued to occupy Hustvedt in both her fiction and non fiction.In the dissertation, she drew on the work of Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva, Emile Benveniste, Roman Jakobson, Mary Douglas, and Paul Ricoeur among others.
Hustvedt and Auster's daughter, the singer-songwriter Sophie Hustvedt Auster was born on July 6, 1987.
After receiving her PhD, she turned to fiction and began work on her first novel, The Blindfold, two sections of which were published in literary magazines as stories and later reprinted in Best American Short Stories 1991 and 1992. The novel was published in the United States by the now defunct Poseidon Press in 1992 and was translated into seventeen languages.
Five novels followed: The Enchantment of Lily Dahl, What I Loved, The Sorrows of an American, The Summer Without Men, and The Blazing World. What I Loved and The Summer Without Men were international bestsellers.The Blazing World was long-listed for the Man Booker Prize and won The Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction in 2014.
She began writing about art in the 1995 when Karen Wright, then the publisher of Modern Painters asked her to choose a single painting in the exhibition Johannes Vermeer at the National Gallery in Washington. That essay "Vermeer's Annunciation" argues for an interpretation of Woman with a Pearl Necklace as an Annunciation rather than a Eucharistic image, which permanently altered scholarly perceptions of the image. She has continued to write about visual art and, in 2006, published a collection of her writing on painting with Princeton Architectural Press, Mysteries of the Rectangle.She has continued to write and lecture on art. Essays on the subject appear in her essay collection A Plea for Eros, and the last third of Living, Thinking, Looking is devoted to art, as are a number of essays in A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women.She has lectured at the Prado and Metropolitan Museums, an in January 2010 she was the Schelling Professor of Art at the Akademie der Bildenen Kunste (The Academy of the Visual Arts) in Munich where she delivered her lecture: "Embodied Visions: What Does it Mean to Look at a Work of Art?"
Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience
Hustvedt has had migraines and their accompanying auras since childhood and has long been fascinated by psychoanalysis, neurology, and psychiatry. Since the late-nineties, she has been immersed in neuroscience and the philosophical quandaries of the mind-brain debates. She began attending the neuroscience lectures at The New York Psychoanalytic Institute in New York and was subsequently invited by Mark Solms to attend the Mortimer Ostow Neuropsychoanalysis Discussion Group, which she attended for two years until the group was disbanded after Ostow's death in 2006. She was a volunteer writing instructor for psychiatric in-patients at The Payne Whitney Clinic at New York Hospital for four years. In 2006, she suffered from violent shaking while delivering a memorial speech for her father, a symptom that became the subject of her book: The Shaking Woman or A History of My Nerves. The book is both a personal account of Hustvedt's experience as a patient with an unexplained symptom and an exploration of the ambiguities of diagnosis through the lenses of medical history, neurology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis,neuroscience, and philosophy.
Since the publication of The Shaking Woman, Hustvedt has lectured on neuroscience, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and literature at international conferences. In 2011 she delivered the annual Sigmund Freud Lecture for the Sigmund Freud Foundation in Vienna. She has published her work in a number of scholarly and science journals, including Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Neuropsychoanalysis, Seizure: the European Journal of Epilepsy, Clinical Neurophysiology, and Suicidology Online. In 2013, she gave the opening keynote lecture at an international conference on the work of Søren Kierkegaard in honor of his 200th birthday at the University of Copenhagen. She is the recipient of three honorary doctorates: from the University of Oslo in Norway,from Université Stendal in Grenoble, France, and from Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany.
In 2012, she received the International Gabarron Award for Thought and Humanities.
In 2015, she was appointed a lecturer in psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College where she gives a seminar in Narrative Psychiatry to psychiatric residents and junior faculty.
Hustvedt continues to divide her time between writing fiction and nonfiction.

Celebi (M04)
Celebi (Japanese: セレビィ Celebi) was a main character in Celebi: Voice of the Forest.
While trying to escape from a Pokémon Hunter, Celebi stumbled across Sam, who was out looking for Pokémon. Just as the hunter was about to capture the Pokémon, it time traveled with Samuel Oak and ended up in the time of Ash and his friends.
However, there was still danger in the present, this time from a Team Rocket member known as the Iron-Masked Marauder. Using a Dark Ball, the Iron-Masked Marauder captured Celebi to use for his own evil plans. With the help of Ash and the others, Celebi was set free from the Iron-Masked Marauder. However, it looked very grim for Celebi, who wasn't able to heal itself in the lake where it had healed before.
Fortunately, many other Celebi from the past and future came to heal their friend. Once Celebi was healed, it was able to go back to the past and take Sammy with it.
In The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon, it was seen in Pikachu's memories.
Moves used

If healthy, vibrant looking skin is your goal, laser skin enhancement can help you achieve it, as it treats signs of aging, and restores a youthful appearance. laser skin enhancement is a great way to refresh your complexion and reduce imperfections, but can it also fix the tone and texture of your skin.
What is laser skin enhancement
Laser skin enhancement or laser skin resurfacing refers to the use of laser technology to resurface the skin, and treat a variety of skin conditions. Aging, poor lifestyle choices, and environmental factors can all alter the tone and texture of the skin, and significantly impact its overall appearance.
Can Laser Skin Enhancement Fix the Tone and Texture of your skin?
Yes, laser skin enhancement can fix both the tone and texture of your skin. Over time, the skin tone may become uneven, because dark spots develop due to excess sun. In addition, the skin sometimes becomes rough and dry and loses elasticity, causing wrinkles and fine lines to appear. Laser skin enhancement can correct all these issues for you.
How laser skin enhancement works
There are many different technologies now being used for laser skin resurfacing, including the innovative Clear + Brilliant fractional laser system.
Clear + Brilliant is a fast and effective treatment that is suitable for all skin types, and improves skin tone and texture. The laser energy targets those layers of the skin that have undergone changes in tone, or textural shifts. It creates microscopic treatment zones that activate the body's natural healing, so the damaged skin tissue is removed, revealing clearer, firmer skin below.
