Don't be intimidated by quilting! This article contains directions for three easy to sew quilts that will look beautiful!
One of the most important aspects of quilting is fabric selection. Great fabric can turn into a masterpiece even with very simple quilting techniques. Look for patterns, colors and textures that appeal to you. Keep in mind the size of the blocks and the shape of the quilt when selecting fabrics. For example, if you plan to make a quilt with 4 inch square blocks don't choose a fabric that has a motif that is either too large, or too small for your block size. Combining prints can have a great visual impact, but there are a few rules to follow to keep things from looking too busy. First, stick with a common background color. Second, keep scale in mind. A lot of small scale floral prints will look pretty grouped together. But a smattering of small, medium and large will just end up looking disorganized! Third, stick to a basic color pallet. The use of color is great, but if you limit yourself to 3-4 colors in the beginning you'll probably be happier with your end result! If you have a hard time deciding what colors complement each other, and which don't, visit a home improvement or decorating store and pick up a color wheel! This tool is used by decorators to aid in color selection and is fun to play with!
Another important aspect of fabric selection is picking the best fabric for the job at hand. If you want to make a quilt for a baby, child, or for the family to snuggle up with in front of the TV you will need to use fabrics that can withstand plenty of washing. Sturdy cottons, and cotton blends are the best bet! For a light duty, or decorative quilt you have much greater liberty in fabric selection. Remember to always prewash all your fabrics before cutting and sewing with them so they are thoroughly preshrunk!
In addition to fabric, you will need high quality thread. You can make a quilt with or without batting. Batting its self comes in a variety of lofts, or thicknesses. You can also get natural fiber batting (cotton or wool) or synthetic (usually polyester). Which, if any, to use is just personal preference!
Now we're going to discuss three very simple to make quilting methods: block quilts, appliqué block quilts, and crazy quilts!
Block quilts are fun and easy and have so much potential! A basic block quilt consists of same size blocks of fabric arranged in a pattern. You can make a very traditional 9-patch block quilt by combining 9 same size squares of fabric to create a larger block, and then repeating until you have enough blocks to make a whole quilt. To do this, cut enough squares to create the size quilt you wish to have, remembered to include seam allowances! So, for example if you want a 45x45 inch quilt using 5 inch blocks you will have 9 blocks across the top, and 9 blocks across the side. Multiply length x width to get the total area which is 81. You will need 81 5 inch blocks to make a 45x45 inch quilt. Now, to make the quilt true to size you will need to add a seam allowance of ¼ to ½ an inch so the block size to cut out will actually be 5 1/2x51/2! You can also alternate the blocks to create a pattern around your quilt. For instance, using 3 colors start with a center block of color A, add a block of color B at each corner and a block of color C as the centers of each of the next rows. Then alternate colors and continue building in a pattern around the center blocks. Building a block quilt is a bit like building a puzzle with no edges! All the pieces fit together, but it's up to you to make sure the end result is pleasing to the eye. Lay your quilt out on the floor and just play with your blocks until you get them the way you like. Stack the blocks up in order and sew them together in long strips, then sew each of those strips together! Before long you'll have a gorgeous quilt top!
Appliqué quilts can be a lot of fun, and are a great way to use of scrap fabric. Appliqué is the process of sewing a piece of fabric onto another piece of fabric. You can use random geometric shapes, or pictures. Large, clear simple pictures (like a flower or butterfly) are the easiest to use. You can however use a lot of small pieces to create a larger picture (like whole pot of flowers, or a dolls face). The edges of appliqué pieces are sewn on with what is called a satin stitch. This is a wide but very short zigzag stitch that is very smooth and continuous and completely covers up the unfinished edge of the appliquéd piece. To create an appliqué quilt you will need to decide on the patterns you wish to appliqué, and then trace them onto your fabric. Apply a light fusible interfacing to your fabric and then cut out your shapes. Place the shapes right sides up onto the backing you have selected and fuse together with a hot iron. You can use a large piece of fabric for a backing, or you can appliqué patterns onto blocks of various sizes and sew them together to create a quilt. Be creative! After your appliqué piece is fused to your background fabric, satin stitch around all the edges to finish it. Appliqué can be used alone, or in combination with other quilting techniques like the block quilt described earlier. It's a fun method of quilting that can be used to create a picture and tell a story! There are many ready made appliqué patterns if you don't feel up to drawing your own. Large, simple children's coloring pages also make great appliqué patterns!
Last but not least, creating a crazy quilt is perhaps one of the easiest and most fun methods of quilting. It is also a very old method of quilting dating back to Victorian times when it reached its peak of popularity. The Victorians, being thrifty at heart, used to use all their scraps of fine fabric sewn together along with left over bits of lace, trim buttons, etc. to create wild and wonderful pieces of fabric art. We still see this method of quilting today, but it's often not so elaborate. Crazy quilting is still a great way to use up scraps, or to express your self without the straight lines and perfect measurements so often necessary to other methods of quilting. To create a crazy quilt, simply sew your pieces of fabric together any way they'll go! The more prints, patterns and piece sized you throw together the better the quilt will look. This is defiantly one case were normal rules don't apply! If the idea of fitting together an entire quilt from your pile of odds and ends intimidates you there is an easier method. Cut 12x12 pieces of backing fabric, and sew your irregular sized scraps to the backing fabric one at a time making sure each piece overlaps and no raw edges are exposed. Then sew each of the 12x12 squares together to make your quilt!
When your quilt top is done, add batting if you choose and back with a coordinating piece of fabric. Pin through all layers and trim edges even. You can quilt your project by sewing next to or in seams, or tracing around appliqué patterns or you can just leave it unquilted! Bind with pre-made blanket binding and step back and admire your creation!

If a report of a lost and found bird is through any type of register, like The National Lost, Found and Theft Register for Parrots, it is the operator's responsibility to ensure that the rightful owner can prove ownership and that those details are shared with the person holding the bird. If this isn't done, then we advise you to hold the bird until you have the relevant proof.

REVIEW: Dude York - Dehumanize
The music scene in tiny Walla Walla, Washington has gifted the music world two excellent bands recently. One is Chastity Belt, whose No Regerts (no, that isn't a typo) was justifiably lauded last year. Now it is the turn of another Walla Walla-to-Seattle transplant, and lablemate of Chastity Belt and Wimps at Seattle's Help Yourself Records, Dude York. A trio consisting of Peter Richards (guitars/vocals), Claire England (bass/vocals) and Andrew Hall (drum/organ/piano), Dude York has been stoking our Pacific Northwest ears for several years, but with Dehumanize I think they deserve to earn a much larger audience. This is the kind of band that shows up looking young, put together and maybe a bit bratty, but then blows away all the headliners. With all the right influences, excellent musicianship and songwriting, and the ability to personalize it all into a positive and distinctive rock statement that, in my mind, makes them one of the two most exciting Seattle bands playing today.
The album opens with the punky, crunchy rock of "Sleepwalk". No Seattle beard rock, pop or electro here. This track says welcome to our rocking world. And just as expectations are set, the band lays down the infectious hooks and soulful groove of "Hesitate". At this point, I'm two tracks in and I completely hooked.
Track three, "Iris", is a '60s AM radio throwback, with sugar-coated ooohhhs and aahhs on a garage rock skeleton. "Idol" is a slick rock tune that begins with a disciplined rhythm and guitar frills that reminds of Fleetwood Mac, but audaciously adds a thumping rock chorus between the verses. The ballad "Heartland" follows with a slower pace but red-line intensity.
"Burning" takes us back into enthusiastic rock territory. A searing song, it reminds us of just how good Dude York is with their instruments. Thematically, we may go back to middle school with "Eighth Grade", but musically this track continues the rock assault of the preceding tack. At this point we may well be jumping up and down and pumping our fists. But we don't tell anyone that because we need to be professional and objective.
Understandably, Dude York doesn't want us to forget their punk side, and with "Cannibal", forgetting just isn't possible -
"Believer" is a near perfect slice of upbeat rock. You may well want to sing along, and I expect it will have you searching for local performances of the band. Don't be embarrassed, I assure you that it is a natural reaction, and while I am not a doctor, I have seen the movie M*A*S*H numerous times.
And like a good book, Dehumanize pulls it all together on the final track, "Dehumanize Yourself and Face to Bloodshed". Snaky grooves, slashing guitars, hooks and noise -- it is one of my favorite songs of the year so far.
Dehumanize is out now on Seattle's Help Yourself Records.

Values behind the Fuji Declaration
Mr Saionji is President of the Goi Peace Foundation founded in Tokyo, Japan with the approval of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. He is also President of The World Peace Prayer Society a non profit organization with headquarters in New York. He is known for launching the initiative for Creating a New Civilization and his "4-S Concept" integrating the four pillars of sustainability, systems, spirituality and science.
Mr. Saionji who is one of the three initiators of The Fuji Declaration talks about the two most important values and state of consciousness revealed in the declaration. The first is the notion that every member of humanity is good by nature and is an expression of the sacred spirit, the divine spark, within. The second being the consciousness of Oneness. Mr. Saionji continues to explains how research studies under the supervision of Dr. Laszlo will be part of the Fuji Declaration activities supporting the divine spark and oneness concept at work within the various spheres of society.

Yes, the Forex market is open 24 hours a day, but that doesn't mean that levels of activity are constant. In fact, it depends a lot on which pair are you trading. Let's go by parts:
First, it is important you clearly understand there are FOUR different sessions on a typical Forex trading day. These are Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York. And below you can check times:
Sydney - Opens at 21:00 GMT - Closes at 06:00 GMT
Tokyo - Opens at 23:00 GMT - Closes at 08:00 GMT
London - Opens at 08:00 GMT - Closes at 17:00 GMT
New York - Opens at 13:00 GMT - Closes at 22:00 GMT
Why is it important to understand which sessions offers more volatility? Simple. You can open long positions and make money when prices go up. You can open short positions and make some cash when prices move south. But there is no way to profit when things don't move at all.
Once you selected the pairs you are most interested to trade, you have to understand in which session they move more actively and therefore, offer more trading opportunities for you.
For instance, if you want to trade GBPUSD, the London to New York sessions will be your best choice. On the contrary, if you want to give the AUDUSD a try, New York to Sydney hours could work better for you. Also, keep in mind that eventually you have to rest.
It is important the pairs you choose to trade will somehow be concentrated on a certain session, to avoid working all day long and well, to get some well-deserved rest.
Overlaps work best. If you are trying to get the most out of your positions, trading during overlaps could be amazingly profitable as you mix activity from two different areas. Any data published during overlaps have a more significant impact on quotes.

Hatches Theater – Winter Window, ED, and Obsessionfeatured, Videos — By Kevin Hospodar on February 20, 2014 8:48 pm
Brian, Travis, and I found some warm January windows to catch some Montana trout to kill cabin fever's stalk. classicjourneyoutfitters.com and montanaflyfishingguide.com
A short documentary about Ed Zevely. At 68 Ed still chooses to ride out into the Colorado high country for two weeks at a time. And he does it alone.

We spent over five months filming and fishing for these trout to produce this film; researching and patterning them, trying to target large, predatory fish. It's an obsession that you can't control, when you begin to think about the "small factors" and how large of a role they can play, in your success on the water.
This, is our OBSESSION and we couldn't be more excited to bring it to you all!

Dr. Yoon's research interest lies in understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the key steps in the phytohormone ethylene biosynthesis and its signaling pathway using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The gaseous hormone ethylene regulates many important plant growth and developmental processes, including fruit ripening, seed germination, nodulation, senescence and response to a variety of developmental and environmental stresses.
Two main research projects are currently under way in the lab. First is to investigate the molecular mechanism regulating protein turnover in ethylene biosynthesis. Specifically, we are aiming to understand the molecular mechanism which controls the protein turnover of the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase (ACS), a key enzyme in the ethylene biosynthesis and the Ethylene Overproducer 1 (ETO1)/ETO1-like (EOL) proteins, ubiquitin ligases that target a subset of ACS for degradation. Secondly, we are focusing on the elucidation of the roles of Constitutive Triple Response 1 (CTR1), a Raf-like protein kinase that acts as a negative regulator, in the ethylene signaling pathway. Ethylene is perceived by receptors that reside at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane (ER) and negatively regulate the ethylene response pathway; this negative regulation is relieved upon binding of ethylene to the receptors. While the elements in the ethylene signaling pathway have been identified, the detailed mechanisms underlying their function and several fundamental questions still remain to be explored. Among many remaining questions, our lab is interested in exploring following questions: 1) how do the ethylene receptors activate CTR1 in the early step of the ethylene signaling pathway?; 2) how does the ethylene response induced by EIN2, the positive regulator in the pathway, is turned off in the nucleus?; 3) and what are the roles of CTR1 other than phosphorylating EIN2 at the ER? We use the combination of biochemistry, genetics, cell biology and molecular biology approach to address these questions.

Oh good GOD - I overate. Which is a tradition on Thanksgiving, I suppose. But DAYAM. My dad and I were going to go to Outback Steakhouse, but they were closed (how dare they!) so we ended up at Ale House. I ordered their Thanksgiving special - roast turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce (more on that in a sec). It was very good. Then my dad and I shared a brownie hot fudge sundae, which was ENORMOUS (combined we only ate half), but I now want to go lie down for a very, very long time.
Before dinner we saw the movie Timeline. It was okay - I give it a B. I think I might get the book (written by Michael Crichton).
So anyway ... HAPPY THANKSGIVING for those of you celebrating today. I've got a lot of things to be thankful for, but I think I can cover just about everything when I say I'm thankful for family, friends, health and wealth (although my definition of "wealth" probably differs from most people's).

Choosing the right kind of roof repair is an important decision that can also be a confusing one. On the one hand, you can decide to repair the damaged area. On the other hand, you can do a roof tear off and replace all the roofing material—getting all the benefits that new roofing allows, such as a long warranty and peace of mind. The roofers at Dr. Roof are happy to inspect your roof and discuss the best option with you. In the meantime, here are 5 tips for deciding which is the best roof repair option.
Roof Repair Questions to Consider
- How does your ceiling look? Water stains and flaking paint are signs that you may need a full roof replacement. If there is one small, isolated area where water has leaked, it may only need that area of the roof repaired.
- Are the roof repairs more expensive than a roof replacement? When you have had more than a couple roof repairs in the last two or three years, those repairs can amount to as much, if not more, than the cost of re-roofing. It is a sign that your roofing material is breaking down. It would be better to do a tear off and replace the entire roof than to continue fixing individual areas as they spring a leak. You will save money over time.
- How big is the damaged area? If your roof has damage over 25 to 35 percent, it is probably better to re-roof the whole thing.
- How old is your roof? Shingles that are older than 20 years are a likely candidate for a new roof. If they are less than 15 years old and there are not many troubled areas—not many missing, curling, or cracked shingles—then you can probably just have a repair done. Also, if you have two layers of shingles you will need to re-roof the top layer, rather than add another. Building codes do not allow for more than two layers of shingles.
- Will you be selling your house? A new roof is an added selling point and also adds value to your home. If you repair an area, that will not add value and could hurt the resale value as a possible red flag.
Roof Repair Inspection
Having your roof inspected is the best bet to determine the amount of damage and the best way to handle the repair. You should always feel free to ask your roofing contractor to show you where the damage is and explain the ins and outs of his or her suggestions. Make sure that you get a written estimate up front, and ask questions about the warranty available as well as the guarantee on the work done. A reputable roofer should offer all these things.
Contact Dr. Roof, Inc. for a free estimate and to discuss whether your Portland, OR roof would be better off with a repair or a replacement.

Nature studies are a fantastic way for your kiddos to learn about the beautiful world around us! They are hands-on, multi-sensory & a great way to get outside and enjoy the weather all while seeing wonder of nature through THEIR eyes. Why do a nature study? Nature studies can be done as a regular part of your homeschool routine or it can be a special treat for your children depending on where you live & what your schedule allows. Everyone can do a nature study. Whether you live out in the country or the middle of a large city, you can take advantage of learning from the outdoors!
Nature studies are beneficial because they:
- Allow children to learn with all five senses
- Break up traditional book learning or seatwork
- Encourage children to be creative & display personality through drawings & journaling
All children interact differently but allowing children to explore in nature encourages them to touch, smell, listen & even taste while learning. You will create amazing memories for your homeschool and your children will not even know they're learning! Nature studies are great for breaking up the less fun traditional book learning and seatwork that sometimes accompanies our homeschool journey.
Studying Nature can be a complete unit study or as an addition to your routine. By using a nature study as a complete unit, you can take as long as your family needs by incorporating subjects like math by using the nature around you to sort, count, add & subtract. They can also be done with multiple-ages simply by adding in vocabulary and spelling. Try adding writing assignments based on what plants, animals & other items you find during your outing as well.
Depending on what your schedule allows, you could assign your children specific items to be on the lookout for. This could be done through a scavenger hunt for younger children or for older children from a list of topics that you offer for them to write about. Nature studies are also beneficial for science, history & geography. Your children can learn about the area around them, what types of soils are in the area, what is native to the area or not and even find a fossil or two! Nature studies hold endless possibilities!
Ideas to incorporate into your studies:
- Art show – have children use a sketchbook or paper to draw, color or paint various items they find/see on their nature walks
- Bird calling contest – this is so fun to watch and listen to and you'll be surprised how good some kids are
- Photography challenge – this works great for kids of all ages, but the older kids really enjoy it. Give kids a list of items they must photograph and allow them to explore their creativity
- Nature journal or scrapbook – a fun option if you do nature walks regularly is to have each child keep a nature journal or scrapbook and allow them to use a variety of media to record their learning & memories. Overall, this is a great option and so fun to see how much they grow in their learning through the year. You can affix leaf and flower samples, have children draw & color or paint their samples and label and even add in their own photos they've taken.
Whether you are spending an hour out exploring or you're planning an all-day hike, you'll want to have some items prepared to get the most out of your learning. Here are some items you'll want to consider to take along on your excursion:
- Small bag or backpack to hold your supplies and treasures
- Pencil
- Notebook/journal
- Field guides
- Nature study books (nature anatomy, the nature workbook)
- Scavenger hunt (like the one found here)
- Insect box & net
- Magnifying glass
- Camera
- Binoculars
- Snack
- Water
- Boots
- Bug spray
- Sunscreen

When you're out and about, you'll want to keep an eye out for venomous snakes, poisonous plants and even loose rocks or soil that could cause you to lose your footing. Be sure to apply sunscreen and bug spray and grab your water and perhaps a snack. Even if you are in the middle of a large city and nature trails, parks or other locations aren't readily available, there are still many options to choose from to interact in nature. Here is a list of options to explore nature in no matter where you live:
- State parks
- National forests
- Rivers, lakes & beaches
- Greenbelts
- Nature trails
- City parks
- Community Gardens
- Zoos
- Science museums
- Camping trips
- Your own backyard
Nature studies can be a major part of your homeschooling if you're willing to put in a little bit of planning. They create wonderful memories and often times dad can get involved with nature studies on the weekend to go exploring. The possibilities truly are endless when you incorporate nature studies. Who knows what interests you'll spark in your child's imagination by exploring and most importantly you're instilling a love of nature while spending time together.
Be sure to grab the scavenger hunt!

Editor's note: This was an early article on the topic of bovine

Editor's note: This was an early article on the topic of bovine
cartilage, which is now sold commercially as VitaCarte. There have not
been confirmatory studies of its effectiveness in the medical literature,
although anecdotal material continues to accumulate. Dr. Prudden passed
away in September, 1998.
John Fletcher Prudden, MD, is a man with not just backbone but cartilagelots
of it. He uses a form of bovine (beef) cartilage called Catrix® to treat
cancer patients. But does he have what it takes to `swim with the sharks'?
We interviewed him on his unusual career, and his current treatment of cancer.
Q. Tell us about yourself.
A. I graduated cum laude from Harvard in 1942 and received my medical
degree from there in 1945. In 1950, I got my doctorate in medical science
from Columbia and during the Korean War, I helped set up the Army Burn Unit
at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas. For most of my career I was a surgeon at Columbia
Presbyterian. I was also associate professor of clinical surgery at Columbia's
Physicians and Surgeons from 1967 to 1975. I am now in private practice
in New York and have published over 60 medical articles.
Q. How did you first get interested in cartilage?
A. In the early 50s, I was studying wound healing. There was a young
Canadian doctor in the lab who kept hounding us to place chips of cartilage
in wounds. We were astounded when the wounds healed more promptly. When
I tried to find him through Canadian and American medical societies, he
had disappeared.
Q. How did your colleagues react to this discovery?
A. They shrugged it off. I said `If you fellows are not going to do anything,
I certainly am.' I couldn't walk away from such astonishing findings. I
started to experiment with cartilage, figuring out how to produce it in
a powdered form. Eventually I helped found a company, Lescarden, Inc., which
manufactures a bovine cartilage product, Catrix [now Vitacarte, ed.], from
beef tracheal rings.
Q. Did this fascination with cartilage mark you as strange?
A. Not immediately. In the 50s, I made a good reputation by my work on
lysozyme, an enzyme elevated in people with peptic ulcers. In 1957, I published
my first papers on the acceleration of wound healing with cartilage. Soon
after, I started treating cancer patients and got an IND (permit) from the
Food and Drug Administration. Everything was perfectly above board.
Q. But Columbia University didn't see it that way?
A. The chairman of the surgery department objected to my use of cartilage.
He said it was unconventional. I said it was the FDA that sets policy on
new drugs and that I had complied with every regulation. But eventually
I resigned, after nearly 22 years there. After that, I consulted for the
NIH and was attending surgeon at St. Luke's-Roosevelt and Nyack Hospitals.
Q. How did you get involved with cancer?
A. I decided to treat cancer after I saw that cartilage was useful in
the treatment of another proliferative disease, psoriasis. I treated my
first cancer patient with cartilage in 1972. In 1985, I published my results
on "The Treatment of Human Cancer with Agents Prepared from Bovine
Cartilage" in the Journal of Biological Response Modifiers (4:551-584,
1985). At the time of that paper, 31 cancer patients had been treated. The
response rate was 90 percent. Sixty-one percent were complete responders,
i.e., had complete disappearance of tumors. Both oral and injected forms
were used, but the oral was somewhat better.
Q. What has been the reaction of other doctors?
A. Sometimes they pressured patients to return to chemotherapy, even
when that had already failed to help the patient.
Q. Why isn't Catrix sold in health food stores, like shark cartilage
A. I've always played by the rules of the FDA. We got an IND and clinical
trials are underway in the US and Canada. I legally use Catrix in my own
practice. While there are many reasons to be impatient with the FDA, I think
we should change the regulatory process by the light of sweet reason, not
by ignoring the agency which we have selected to supervise drug development.[Editor's
note: as we mentioned, it now is sold in health food stores, as VitaCarte.]
Q. What clinical studies are currently underway?
A. At Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY and at the Royal Victoria
in Montreal we have established studies on renal cell cancer. These are
extremely lethal tumors. [Preliminary] results so far show a complete and/or
partial response rate of about 25%.
Q. Is Catrix also effective against infections?
A. Yes, it's highly effective against herpes infections. However, when
it is introduced into herpes cultures, it has no effect. Its effect is solely
on the patient's immune system.
Q. Why hasn't Catrix been pushed to the forefront?
A. The prevailing wisdom is that one must practice medicine with singular
molecular entities, i.e., refined drugs, not with crude biological mixtures,
which are regarded as things out of our `unscientific past.' But cartilage
is a more complex nut to crack than most other biologically-derived drugs.
Q. Have you tried to isolate the active elements?
A. Yes, but bear in mind that cartilage evolved through millennia under
the direction of Mother Nature. Cartilage is a residue of a primitive layer,
the mesenchyme, from which it has inherited all sorts of biological powers.
The effect of this compound on any tissue is a potent normalization. We
don't know if any of the components will be better than the natural substance.
Q. What about prevention?
A. Catrix could be very valuable. It is lacking in even minor side effects,
and so there is no reason not to use it preventatively. It is relatively
inexpensivethe current cost is about $170 per month. This cost should
decrease markedly as production rises.
Q. Are you optimistic about Catrix's future?
A. Yes. I believe that this therapy will be approved for marketing in
Canada and then in the US for renal cell cancer in about 18 months. This
will be followed by rapid growth into other areas as successful protocol
studies expand.

About The Care Home Designer
In the UK there are too many care homes being closed down. Not because they're not needed, but typically because they struggle to maintain the occupancy levels required to make them economically viable. This can't continue.
Why is this happening?
As the number of people with dementia requiring care home places continues to increase, the balance between home care provisions and supported care home places for people who don't have dementia has changed, such that there is now a greater demand for homes catering for people with dementia and reduced demand for those who don't.
Homes that re-register for dementia and provide the better standards of care, will be in demand and more likely to be operating on the basis of full occupancy.
The aim of The Care Home Designer is to work with care home owners who want to develop excellent environments that are highly suited to residents with dementia. This will contribute significantly to the success and sustainability of the home and for many it will make the difference that will keep them in business and available for the ongoing demand.
Failure to act to correct the growing imbalance between supply and demand, will have dire consequences.
So what's the answer?
Through better design, we can meet the needs of people requiring care home places and by refreshing our existing home stock, standards can be met with minimal investment. There are new care homes being built at costs in the region of £250,000 to £300,000 per bed. Even then, they are not being well designed for the demands of the market and they are destined to be a financial burden as long as they continue to operate.
An investment of £1500 to £2000 per bed on a typical home of around 40 beds can make all the difference and provide an ongoing return on that investment. Where the environment is concerned, this may be all that is required to make the difference between success and closure.
Who or what is The Care Home Designer?
The Care Home Designer is a talented team dedicated to improving the quality of care for people who live, visit and work in our care homes and live their daily lives with the complications and complexities of dementia.
We can do more for the residents of our care homes by using our knowledge and experience to create better environments that make sense and are significantly less challenging.
What's different about The Care Home Designer?
Our novel approach is to address the all different area's and make them work together. Common sense you might think, but no-one seems to work this way. There are some lovely interior design schemes out there but often they're quite unhelpful if you have dementia. Then there are some great dementia-specific features, but they often look like a sticking plaster or have only been implemented under pressure from a CQC inspector.
The benefit of tackling all aspect together is the opportunity to create designs which are distinctive and thoroughly enabling whilst providing additional qualitative elements as a consequence of consistent design throughout the home. This holistic approach is intrinsically practical, structured and cost effective, which means its implementation can be staged, making it affordable, whilst still ensuring maximum benefits and minimising disruption. To coin a phrase - The whole is greater than the sum of its parts! And to coin another phrase - everybody wins!

Swarms of AI driven robots that can patrol borders from the land, sea and sky could soon be manning Europe's borders.
A mass network of drones, land vehicles and water crafts is being developed into fully automated surveillance systems with the support of EU countries.
Multiple sensors on roaming robots will be able to identify and track human activity and report risks to border officials.
Concerns have been raised that such powerful technology in the wrong hands have could be used to develop 'killer robots'.
The AI driven network of land, sea and air robots, officially described as an 'Autonomous Swarm of Heterogeneous Robots for Border Surveillance', is known as Roborder.
The system, which has multi-national support from border authorities and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) across Europe, will 'Exploit aerial (UAV), water surface (USV), underwater (UUV) and ground (UGV) vehicles'.
The robots will include drones and land vehicles which can individually hold multiple sensors and coordinate to form an 'inter operational network', according to Roborder's website.
There will also be static sensors stationed at fixed points made up of 'passive radars, passive RF-signal sensing devices and thermal cameras'.
An official statement on the Roborder website listed its aims for three upcoming pilots that will cover different scenarios and security breaches.
The project is being developed by a consortium of border controls and collaborators in Portugal, Estonia, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, where the pilots will be tested.
Its lead coordinator is located in Lisbon, Portugal.
The first of the three pilots will aim to identify early tracking of illegal activities that includes 'unauthorised sea border crossing and land border crossings'.
It will be deployed at the Bulgarian-Turkish borders to track and monitor illegal activities and use microwaves from cell phones to track individuals and identify human activity.
It will also monitor the movement of illicit substances across the Estonian-Russian borders and well as detect explosive devices.
The second will track illegal communications and try to prevent drug and weapons smuggling, as well as human trafficking by picking up wireless communications that mask such activity.
The third pilot will try to detect early signs of pollution accidents at borders such as spills.
There are a number of security and human rights concerns related to the project, which has been largely funded by an €8 million (£7m) EU research and innovation grant since 2017 known as Horizon 2020.
The International Committee for Robot Arms control (ICRAC) which is supporting the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots has also voiced concerns about the rise of technology that could support 'killer robots' in general.
Professor Noel Sharkey from the University of Hallam, which incidentally, is a collaborator of Roborder, is a lead member of this committee.
In an interview with the Italian magazine Il Manifesto, Professor Sharkey explained the fatal dangers of the technology as weapons: 'At the beginning of the Stop Killer Robot campaign we were accused of wanting to slow down innovations. We just want to prevent two functions of the machines: target selection and targeting.'
A number of institutions are involved in the development of the mass network of AI robots, including CENTRIC (Centre of Excellence in terrorism, resilience, intelligence and organised crime research) at the University of Hallam in the UK.
According to research by The Intercept Roborder's developers could also be violating the terms of their EU funding, which is specifically aimed at 'research and innovation designed for non-military projects'.
But the technology could easily be used for militarisation, which it says the developers have previously admitted.
The Intercept also claims to have obtained leaked documents that raises ethical concerns and about the program.
According to the obtained report, the risks that the results of the classified results could land in the wrong hands, have been noted.
Intercept wrote: 'Roborder's developers argued that these ethical concerns did not apply to their work, stating that their only goal was to develop and test the new technology, and that it would not be sold or transferred outside of the European Union during the life cycle of the project.'
Many governments around the world are already developing their own AI robots for militarisation, including the UK.
British Army plans this year will see 200 miniature drones 'smaller than a human hand' deployed on the battlefield to provide soldiers with an eye in the sky.
These mini-drones, dubbed Black Hornet, could take over the life-threatening surveillance and reconnaissance duties currently undertaken by soldiers.
The MOD is investing £66million ($87m) in robotic systems, which will also include automated supply delivery drones.
Roborder is an autonomous swarm of heterogeneous Robots for border surveillance that aims to develop a fully-functional autonomous border surveillance system.
The system will use data relayed from multiple sensors on unmanned mobile robots including aerial, water surface, underwater and ground vehicles that will operate alone and as a swarm, and from static networked sensors.
It is a three-year, EU Horizon 2020 funded project that aims to develop an intelligent solution for the patrolling and protection of EU borders.
It will be piloted to detect early signs of the following incidents:
- Unauthorised sea border crossing
- Unauthorised land border crossing
- Detecting pollution on accidents

Essential Thor Volume 4.
Like a good football match, The Essential Thor Volume 4's a game of two halves. The first dominated by the latter days of Jack Kirby, the second by John Buscema, with a well-known guest artist to keep us entertained at half-time.
It all kicks off with Thor sent on a quest to discover the origin of Galactus. Whilst it's good to see Galactus again, his origin turns out to be something of a let down, as we discover he's just some bloke who got exposed to radiation, grew big and started eating everything. By this point we'd seen so many Marvel characters who'd got their start by being exposed to radiation that it all feels way too humdrum an explanation for Marvel's biggest of Big Bads.
The Fantastic Four, by the time he'd left, Kirby's best work on the strip was already waving to him in the rear-view mirror.
As though to prove it, the major storyline of this late Kirby period's a straight reworking of the first Mangog outing when, thanks to getting his hands on the Odin-Ring as Odin sleeps, Loki seizes the throne of Asgard - only for Surtur to inconveniently appear and attack the kingdom. As in the Mangog tale, all seems lost until Odin awakes from his slumbers to dispatch the threat with no noticeable difficulty.
After this is we get an odd little tale - presumably a last minute fill-in - in which John Buscema takes over for an issue to give us Thor versus the Abomination. It's a tale that reveals that Thor can turn back time, which he's never done before and which you would've thought makes him effectively unbeatable.
Jack Kirby returns for just one issue before departing for good, followed by Neal Adams' debut on the strip as Thor and Loki swap bodies in a tale involving Mephisto. I'm not convinced it's a happy debut. It all looks as slick as you'd expect but Joe Sinnott's inks are so distinctive that, however polished it is, it looks more like Rich Buckler's Neal Adams impersonation than it does the real thing. For me it also lacks the dynamism of both Kirby and his long-term successor.
Happily Infinity's seen off.
Not so happily, Hela's in a bad mood about the foiling of her plans, and kills Thor, only for wimpy old Sif to touch the Death Goddess with her tears, causing Hela to bring him back.
Unfortunately when they all return to Asgard, Loki's got his hands on the Odin-Ring (again) and has seized the throne (again). Instead of giving Loki a good smacking like he should, Odin stays as annoying as ever and goes off to have a kip, leaving Loki to do whatever he wants.
What he wants is to get his leg-over with Sif and create a creature called Durok the Demolisher who spends a fair amount of time knocking Thor around before knocking the Silver Surfer around. Highlight of all this has to be Durok smashing the Surfer's board to pieces. I always liked to see the Surfer suffer.
You can't get away from it that there's an awful lot of repetition going on in these tales, with two reruns of the original Mangog tale and two epics involving Loki taking over Asgard by getting his hands on the Odin-Ring. Just how stupid is Odin that he learns nothing from the earlier problems and still leaves the Odin-Ring lying around for Loki to find? It's also annoying that Odin keeps going into the Odin-Sleep every time he's needed. You really do wonder why the people of Asgard revere the useless old berk.
But there're new ideas too - the main ones being to do with the characters. Freed from the constraints of working with the more concept-oriented Kirby, Stan Lee clearly starts to remodel the strip the way he wants it to be, as grandiose soap opera. This is no bad thing. As the strip goes along it's obvious it's becoming more and more an ensemble piece and less and less a solo strip, as Balder, Volstagg, Fandral and Hogun get more and more page time.
They're not the only ones. Once Gerry Conway takes over the writing chores, there's also the introduction of the strapping Hildegarde, brought in to accompany the increasingly useless Sif on a mission, while, before Lee goes, Hela, rarely seen in the strip before this era, gets noticeably more involvement.
But perhaps the most interesting thing about these tales involves Karnilla the Norn Queen, as we see her gradually evolving from out-and-out villain to a more ambiguous figure, purely through her love for Balder. Balder meanwhile finds himself torn from emotional pillar to post as he tries to balance his love for Karnilla with his sense of duty to Thor, Odin and Asgard. To a large degree, although the comic's called Thor, these are really the adventures of Balder and Karnilla, and the strip's all the better for it.

I've got this volume and you sure get value for money with it - it's as thick as an old 'phonebook. I've also got most of the stories in their Masterworks printings and I have to say that, although I like the black and white Essentials, colour really gives these tales a whole new dimension. The Masterworks editions allow the reader to savour the stories, but the Essentials are good, basic reading copies.

I have great childhood memories of Thor #s 154 through 157 courtesy of their reprinting in Marvel Treasury Edition #10. Seeing Kirby's artwork in oversized coloured glory struck a chord with me. There are some great memorable images from that issue. Also quite memorable in a humourous mode was Thor's encounter with some exaggerated New York hippies: "Tell it to the squares, dad! We dropped out!"

When seeking to know the fatal negative effects Asbestos Removal Westchester County airborne dirt and dust, it is important to initially be aware of the distinction between long-term, and short-term exposure to it.
- Long term publicity – is normally confined to a operate situation exactly where through the years doing work in a surroundings infected with asbestos fiber dust is found.
- Short-term coverage – is usually when someone is improving a home and makes connection with asbestos fiber (a couple of weeks to several months' visibility).
Short-phrase publicity consequences – may be pretty negligible when at the low-levels (usually during a home maker-more than project Asbestos Removal Westchester County.
Nonetheless, there must be a concern when the asbestos dust particles is found to be at the higher-level (despite the fact that visibility could be brief-expression), and where by health care guidance should be wanted if minute fabric have been breathed in.
Quick-term coverage dangers – are seen as the pursuing: asbestosis (a significant sickness of your lung area where by long lasting scars in the inhalation of asbestos fibers is out there), carcinoma of the lung, and mesothelium (aggressive cancers.
Facts does is available that signifies simple-phrase coverage (extreme mouth) to asbestos fiber dust particles may possibly provoke precursor lesions of intestines cancers, and for a longer time-phrase "simple-expression" exposure (persistent mouth) could improve the perils associated with developing gastrointestinal cancers (depending on the level amount of the dust particles [high/low]).
Being Asbestos Removal Westchester County exposed to asbestos fiber dust particles on an even shorter time period (a few minutes – time) could possibly have really negligible consequences on the growth of malignancy (cancer growth normally takes place across a long time). Nonetheless, when working in this kind of environment, protection safeguards ought to be adhered to always.
Visibility boundaries for asbestos fiber airborne dirt and dust – must not surpass .1 fibers for each cubic centimeter (f/cc) of air (above an 8-hour operate time) in the doing work environment. Whilst for reduced-terms should not go beyond a lot more than 1 f/cc (spanning a half hour time period) to be considered secure.
Warning: Any form of asbestos fiber dust particles coverage is most likely risky; exactly where if discovered to get present is usually regarded wise to call in experts to remove it in a harmless and orderly manner (asbestos signs usually takes provided that in between 15 – 40 years before any harm may come to light).

"As I write this, it is June 5, 1990 - I believe tomorrow is the twentieth anniversary of our graduation. It seems as though it took forever to reach age 18, and but a moment's time to reach age 38.

In twenty years we will be talking about (God help us) grandchildren, retirement and the relative merits of Geritol.

The Episode
We open the episode with Ashley crying with Jared. Everyone, including us, is tired of it. Poor Jared. Jared is saying, he doesn't want to be there. So she would be fine, being with someone other than Jared, but she isn't fine with him being with someone else. Typical girl. He tells her that he really likes Caila, and cares about Ashley but not romantically. She begs him, are you sure?? Um really?
Jared goes to talk to Caila, and tells her that he really likes her. The whole time he is talking to her, you hear Ashley bawling and whining in the background. They make out. Nick nailed it last week Ashley, you are infatuated with Jared, or in love with the idea of Jared.
Evan and Carly are talking, and she tells us that she pushed him away, and yet he was the only thing she shouldn't have pushed him away. They make out.
Dan is sitting on a bed all by himself. He is waiting for the women that are up for grabs to come for him – Sarah, Twins, and Ashley. Sarah brings him a birthday cake, well a 1/2 birthday cake.
The twins decide something big has to happen, and the one twin is telling the other twin that she has to kiss Dan, um she is dumb, I would have told my sister, why don't you? Twin and Dan chat, and tell each other that they are interested in each other. She gives him a peck on the lips, and thinks the game is over.
Ashley chats with Dan. I wonder if she will peck him too. Dan says, since she is a virgin, he thinks she should slut it up a bit, and then she may find someone who she will like. He is so sleezy. OMG so funny, how they kept flashing up a Please Stand By!
Rose Ceremony time.
Ashley comes back after not getting a rose. She wants a second chance. She says it is up to them, if she can stay. Crickets, everyone stares. People start saying yes.
Nick tells Ashley to be her best self. LOL.
In walks someone whom I have no idea who he is. Carl? From Andi's season. LOL it was so funny, someone is interviewing her, and she says I don't know his name, oh yeah Carl, same as mine! Emily is very interested. Carl asks her on the date.
Brett with a lamp comes in. Also from Andi's season.
Izzy is very smitten. Brett tells the guys he was interested in Caila. He goes and asks her to talk. Apparently, they have talked before. Ashley is ecstatic, that might make Jared available for her! You know that is what she is thinking. She of course tells Brett, to ask out who he wants, and kept saying Caila. He of course asks Caila. Caila watches Jared gleefully. Bye Felicia. Caila asks to talk to Jared. He says he doesn't want her to go, but she has to do the best decision for her. She decides she wants to stay. They make out. Then she says she isn't sure, I am getting whiplash. Omg then she tells Brett, she isn't going. Then she says she is, then she says she isn't. Omg, she is so damn annoying. They both have whiplash too. She is going.
Ashley of course is going to work on Jared. She says he is the new Ashley.
The date is on a boat with lots of alcohol. Carl and Emily seems to be hitting it off.
Caila and Brett seem ok.
Jared and Ashley are laying around chatting it up.
Caila isn't feeling the booze cruise. She is too good for this apparently. She says she wants to run home and tell Jared, she is sorry and should have stayed and spent the day with him, ya think?
Caila and everyone come back from the date, and of course walk up to Jared and Ashley. Caila asks to talk to Jared. Ashley of course, loiters and tries to listen. Jared practically jumps Caila. Naturally eavesdropping Ashley, sees and hears the whole thing.
Ryan walks in. With a date card. Ryan asks Jared, to fill him in on what is going on in Paradise, of course he is going to push Ashley, Ryan says he would have asked Sarah our if she were there, but he was also interested in Haley. Naturally, Ryan pulls Ashley aside to talk. They of course talk about Jared. RUN RYAN RUN. He does run and ask Hayley on the date.
Ryan and Hayley stumble upon some horses and a waterfall. Honestly, their date is boring, and they don't really show much.
Grant tells us how much he likes Lace. He tells her to be ready in a 1/2 hour. They go to get a couples massage. They oddly seem well matched. Grant tells her he loves her. She tells us, she can't say it yet, but she knows she is falling for him.
Izzy tell Lace and the girls that she is interested in Brett, and that she has some doubts about Vinny. Vinny is upset. Izzy goes to talk to Vinny and says she is 75% sure about him, and she doesn't know why she is holding back. She said that she hasn't been attracted to anyone other than Vinny since Brett came in. She says, the fact that she thinks that, is what is worrying her. Vinny is shocked, and hurt.
Vinny tells us, how can the few minutes that she has spent with Brett mean more than what he and Izzy have had. He tells the guys. Grant says, well of course when the girls get here, she is 100% whereas when guys come in she turns to 75%. The girls are all chatting it up too. Vinny says, he might just remove himself from the situation. He says, he wants closure though. Awww, I like Vinny, don't necessarily like Vinny and Izzy, but I like Vinny. He would have been good with one of the twins. He asks Izzy to go talk, and she asks if she can finish her makeup first.
We get at big fat To Be Continued.
Thankfully, that is just one night, but I am watching both episodes back to back!
Everyone is still spooling about the Vinny an Izzy situation. (She always looks so natural, what make up was she doing?). Vinny is so sweat, he said he didn't come into this thinking that something would happen so quickly. She says, she has had doubts, but hadn't been able to talk to him about them. Vinny says, this has shown him who she really is, and he cries. AWWWW there is something about a man who cries. Vinny you deserve better. He tells her, he is leaving the show.
The whole house is shaken. Janner walk in. (Jade and Tanner for those that may not know!). They have a special date card, so they talk to each couple, and will decide who they think can make it, and therefore go on their date card.
Grant and Lace have a spat about how their interaction was with Janner. Lace is a nasty girl with him.
They give the date card to Jared and Caila.
Jen wants to find out how Nick feels. He has had a wall up with her. They have an odd conversation, about walls and backing off.
Caila and Jared end up, I suppose where Jared and Tanner fell in love. For some reason, they decide to talk about Ashley. I mean, I am sure they needed to, but Lordy, focus on you. They make out. I do believe they get down to their undies and get in the water.
The twins find a date card, and it is for Evan. Guess what, he asks Carly. They roll up into some ancient ceremony to remove negative energy. They are really odd and cute together. Carly tells us she now has a lady boner for him. They make out.
Ashley tells us, that Caila may be the one making out with Jared, but she can make out with his mind.
She decides sabotage is the best route. She tells him, that he is more into Caila than she is into Jared. Jared goes and tells Caila and says people keep asking if she is as into him, she says hmmmm did Ashley say these things, he finally spills it. Caila says she is going to talk to Ashley. Oh Shazam.
Caila approaches Ashley, and tells her what Jared said. Caila says, if you are really trying to get over him and pursue someone else, then she should focus on that. Ashley says, well there is nobody here, so Caila says so you are going to sabotage everyone else.
