Grooming the Child Athlete
Ever since I was a young boy, I have loved sports. Sports has remained a major part of my life since I became a teacher, because, until I retired from my hockey position in March, I've always been a coach. A couple of days ago, I came upon this article that was run by the New York Times: A New Competitive Sport: Grooming the Child Athlete. Maybe people who read this article would think that coaches love to see parents who will do anything for their kids athletic careers, but here's one who definitely doesn't. I think that by loving sports so much, we are wrecking what should be a good thing.
One problem with this is that we are pricing a lot of people out of our sports. Hockey people are as guilty as anyone for the excesses in youth sports, and we are paying the price in many communities. Hockey used to be a sport for kids from working class families. The Minnesota State Hockey Tournament used to be dominated by towns like Eveleth and other iron range communities in northern Minnesota, but that is no longer the case. Unfortunately, the game is turning more and more into an activity for the upper-middle class only. Working class parents just can't afford the sport anymore in most communities. From reading this article in the Times, it looks like a lot of other sports might be on their way to doing the same thing.
Another problem is that we end up with parents who become more dedicated to their kids' sports than the kids are. For the past several years, I have worked at hockey schools in the summer, and I've always felt uncomfortable when I've walked out into the lobbies of the arenas I've worked in and watched some of the parents. Hockey parents, like parents of athletes in all sports, tend to have high hopes for their kids, and they certainly can't be faulted for that. But so many of them seem to think that if they can find the right hockey school, or if they buy the right pair of skates, and get the perfect equipment, that this will be the key to stardom, scholarships, and maybe even pro contracts for their children. There are few things I find more sickening than seeing hockey parents doting over their young future stars. I can say that because it was just a few short years ago that I was doing some serious doting of my own. I've often said that temporary insanity is a pre-requisite for being a hockey parent, and I passed the test with flying colors.
All high school coaches have some problems with parents, and there is no better sport to illustrate why this is so than hockey. For starters, children often start playing before they are five-years-old. The parents spend huge sums of dollars on equipment, and they are expected to provide transportation to and from practices and games until the player is in high school. The number of games youth hockey teams play varies from place to place, but it may well be fifty or more. Many parents have to plan nearly every weekend in the winter around youth hockey games and tournaments, and it's not unusual for the hotel bills by the end of the season to be in the thousands of dollars. Then in the summer, they often plan their vacations in such a way that they can spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to send junior to the best hockey schools.
The result is that by the time the youngster is in high school, the parents have made enormous investments in time, travel, emotion and money to their child's athletic career. We have very, very committed parents, and some of these committed parents are going to be very hard to please. There may be hell to pay if the coach doesn't put junior on the varsity as a sophomore, or if he simply doesn't play him enough. As anyone who coaches knows, what "playing him enough" means for some parents can be an impossible standard to achieve. Worse yet, sometimes junior isn't very good, or sometimes he just gets tired of the sport. Now it's the coaches' job to put him on the junior varsity, or more fun yet, to cut him from the team. For some reason, the parents who have made all those investments in hopes of stardom, college scholarships, and pro contracts aren't very understanding when that happens.
The pressures on coaches these days are enormous. Not only do many parents expect the coach to feature their sons or daughters as the star players on the team, but they also expect that the coach should be able to produce a championship team. After all, with all that talent, how can they lose? It is a rare parent who is able to look objectively out onto the field, court,or arena and say to his neighbors, "You know, our kids just aren't that good."
Once again, the majority of parents of kids I've coached have been wonderful, and the only times I'd hear from them was when they thanked me for my efforts at the end of the year. The problem is that during the season, the more difficult parents make it hard to remember that those reasonable parents even exist. If a student getting a bad grade in an academic class can cause a parent to become unreasonable, you can multiply that unreasonableness by a factor of ten or more when it comes to sports. Parents who are unhappy with a teacher usually don't like him. Parents who are unhappy with a coach often view him with unmitigated hatred.
Don't get me wrong! Despite all this I still think being involved in sports and other extra-curricular activities is a wonderful thing. I also think it's wonderful when parents encourage and support their kids. But parents have to be very careful. The activities our kids are involved in need to be things that they really want to do rather than things we really want them to do. And today, that's a lot easier said than done.

The Nigerian Communications Commission, the telecoms industry umpire, has declared that the telecommunications industry in Nigeria currently contributes about 8.5 per cent to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the country.
Disclosing this at the 2013 Nigerian Telecoms Development Lecture, NITDEL, organised by Logica Group, in Lagos, the NCC Chairman, Mr. Peter Igho, said the industry is now second to oil and gas sector in terms of GDP contribution.
Speaking in a keynote address, Igho, who was represented at the annual event by the Commission's Director, Public Affairs, Mr. Tony Ojobo, said, "The rapid deployment of digital mobile services across the country and speed at which they are being subscribed to, has demonstrated the importance of ICT services to the people."
According to him, at 120 million active lines as at June this year, and teledensity of more than 85 per cent from 0.4 per cent in 2001, many citizens were in full realisation of how Information and Communication Technology contributes to societal development whether in terms of business or governance.
"There are many areas that have been positively affected by Nigeria's ICT, including direct and indirect employment, new business opportunities, learning and skills development opportunities, and in our human relationships.
We are delighted to note that at telecommunications is currently contributing more than 8.5 per cent to the national Gross Domestic Product," he said. Igho stated that the economic development of a nation can be accelerated by improvements in the country's ICT infrastructure has been widely established.
He said, "The explosion in technology which ushered in the information age has become the basis for defining power in the modern world. No modern economy can thrive without an integral information technology and telecommunications infrastructure.
This is because ICTs provide the veritable platform for development across the economic and other sectors if well harnessed." He explained that ICT tools were enablers of broad-based social and economic development. "ICTs not only contribute to the development of education, health and governance, but are also key enablers of sustainable human development in a more general sense."
Also speaking, Chairman, Logical Communications, Otunba Biodun Ajiboye, who also stated the role of teelcoms in boosting a nation's GDP, said telecoms industry today remained the fastest growing sectors in Nigeria whose activity now provides the backbone for faster growth and modernisation of other sectors.
"This is why telecoms industry must be seen as very fundamental to the economy and why government at the federal, state and local levels should collaborate with the players in the industry to ensure that maximum protection is provided for their physical infrastructures in order for individuals and businesses to continue to enjoy improved quality of telecoms services," he said.

Mary had a whole FLOCK of little lambs! This set of sixteen sweet baby lambs contains eight appliqué designs and eight bean stitch designs. They are perfect for nursery décor, quilts, baby sets, and fun projects for your lamb-loving friends such as tea towels, totes and table runners. The two dancing lamb appliqué designs require a 5x7 hoop, but all other designs in this set will fit in a 4x4 hoop... including the BONUS "Little Lambkin" appliqué design that's now included in this set!
This set also includes eight "underlay" bean stitch designs that enable you to remove the project fabric behind white or light colored appliqué fabric. This step prevents show-through of dark or boldly printed fabrics so that the lighter appliqué will remain light and clean. Instructions are provided for this technique!
In addition to the designs, the zip file download contains PDF color charts/instructions and PDF design templates to print.
Note - The pillow shown in the last two photos below features one of the bean stitch lambs along with a vine framed "I love you" saying from the Baby Deer design set. The blanket in the second-to-last photo also features flower appliqués from the Tiny Tea design set.

How to open the conversation about hearing loss
If a loved one has hearing loss, it can be difficult for the whole family. Perhaps your parent gets upset that they can't understand what's going on, or your kids are annoyed they have to repeat themselves so much around grandma. One in three Americans over the age of 65 has hearing loss, so there's a good chance you are close to someone with hearing loss.
It is estimated that people wait an average of five to seven years from the time they first notice changes in their hearing until they decide to seek treatment. It is important to address hearing loss as soon as possible! Here are some tips to help you have a productive discussion and explore treatment options.
Your Loved One and Hearing Loss – Know the Signs
Before bringing up the topic of hearing loss, know the signs of hearing loss and approach the topic with confidence. Common signs of hearing loss include asking people to repeat themselves, thinking everyone else is mumbling, or responding incorrectly to comments because they haven't understood the words. Hearing gets much worse in large groups or in noisy environments like crowded restaurants and these situations lead to confusion for someone with hearing loss. Another clear sign of hearing loss is turning up the volume too high on the phone or TV. You may find more information online, with resources at the Hearing Loss Association of America (hearingloss.org) and the American Speech Language Hearing Association (asha.org).
Dealing with Denial
It's possible you'll meet some resistance when you bring up the topic of hearing loss. Because hearing loss still is somewhat a taboo subject, your loved one will probably try to avoid the conversation. Since hearing loss is gradual, they may not realize just how much their hearing has deteriorated, or the impact their hearing loss is having on themselves and on the family. It's likely they will be upset or even defensive. Be gentle but firm. Early intervention is the key to adjusting to hearing aids and getting all the benefits from healthy hearing.
What Words to Use, and What Words to Avoid
Facing hearing loss can be scary. Your loved one may be feeling isolated or anxious. Certain words can calm them, and let them know you care about them.
Always use "I" statements so that you don't sound accusatory. Say "I notice you didn't hear the phone ring" rather than saying "you didn't hear the phone". This creates support, putting yourself into the situation with them and keeping it neutral. Your loved one won't feel as if you are attacking them.
Avoid the negatives. When talking about hearing loss, discuss the improvements hearing aids will bring to their lives. Talk about hearing birds chirping, being able to play with the grandkids again, and following conversations when you go out to dinner. Do you know anyone else who has hearing aids? What impact has it had in their life? Early treatment of hearing loss allows your loved one to be fully engaged with the family, keeps them active and alert, and slows the onset of dementia.
Safety Issues
Being able to hear isn't just about easy conversations. It's also about safety. Remind your loved one how dangerous it can be to miss the stove timer or fire alarm. Driving and even walking is unsafe when you can't hear what's happening around you
New Technology
Hearing aids of today are sleek and discreet. Your loved one may be imagining a cumbersome hearing aid that will draw attention to their hearing loss. Show your loved one some of the new hearing aid designs, and talk about the selection of colors that will match to skin and hair tones. Not responding when your name is called is a far more obvious sign of hearing loss than a barely noticeable hearing aid
The Next Step
Now that you've discussed hearing loss, it's time to book an appointment for a hearing test. Leave materials for your loved one to read about hearing loss and hearing aid options. Reassure them that you will support them through every step of the process! On average, people with hearing loss wait five to seven years before getting hearing aids! Think of all the things your loved one will be missing in that time. Don't wait. Book an appointment with us at Preferred Hearing Centers today.

Antiphospholipid Antibodies Apla: Types and Functions in Health and Disease-Original PDF
Login is required
If you are not our user, for invitation Click Here
Amazon Price $0
Size : 3.9 MB
The opening chapter of Antiphospholipid Antibodies (APLA): Types and Functions in Health and Disease is focused on the modern immunoassays for the determination of aPL in biological fluids. The principles of these methods will be described and the possibility of their applications for aPL analysis will be mentioned. Next, the authors examine antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a clinical disorder characterized by thrombosis and/or pregnancy morbidity in the persistence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) that are pathogenic and have pro-coagulant activities. Two different strategies on the assessments of the aPL testings are indicated: quantitative assessments of the thrombotic risks using aPL profiles and new combination of aPL tests for screening APS diagnosis. This book goes on to discuss how in 2003, as a parallel to the seronegative rheumatoid arthritis and the seronegative lupus, G.R. Hughes and M.A. Khamashta introduced the term seronegative antiphospholipid syndrome (SN-APS). The diagnosis of SN-APS has been subjected to multiple discussions, disputes and investigations. The review presented in this collection summarizes the contemporary knowledge on SN-APS and its diagnosis and treatment and shows the authors' experience in this field. In closing, the authors describe the current knowledge on the mechanisms of antiphospholipid antibodies -associated renal damage, the main clinical manifestations, diagnostic and therapeutic considerations in APS in renal patients and our experience in this group.

As you know, Sam had surgery at the end of May. His recovery has been slower than I thought it would be. Despite excellent bloodwork results, plenty of rest and high quality nutrition*, he's still generally uncomfortable and slow to regain his energy. So I was a little worried about the weekend that just passed.
We had two important birthday parties to attend in Pennsylvania. It wasn't just the three hours sitting in a car that worried me but also the time spent in public. Not sure I'm explaining this well but just the lack of restorative naps, the staying dressed in party clothes, the effort of party conversation and the dramatic change in routine – I just wasn't sure he was up to it.
The Saturday party was an outdoor bash for a 9 year old. Sami weathered the car ride without problem, unless you count the fact that I chose the wrong route and drove in the wrong lane the whole way (according to him, but that's his opinion every day). He was ok at the party and excused himself only once to stretch out on a sofa inside the house. He paid for it that night when we got to our hostess's house where he spent the night moaning and groaning and trying to be comfortable without his magic Motion convalescent bed. He got up on Sunday had a cup of coffee and then went back to bed for two hours because he was so wrung out from the day before.
On Sunday we were invited to the 100th birthday celebration for the father of of our third Musketeer. [Sidebar: Can you believe that my two best friends do not have blogs? I can't either. – S.] I didn't think Sami would be up to it but when the time came, he put on his party pants and was as lively as any guest there. I guess the key to get him moving is tell him he's getting a catered meal and a piece of cake.
On the drive home, he was energetic enough to alert me every time he thought it was appropriate to change lanes. Some things are far too essential to the fabric of our lives to be changed by recent life events, milestones though they may be.
When it came time to blow out the candles, the birthday celebrant wished for another hundred years. He might make it too.
*3 meals and 2 snacks on time and without fail.
ADDENDUM: All of the living presidents sent greetings to note the special occasion for this decorated WWII veteran. What do you think of the sentiments?

Launched in April 2012, Volotea is an innovative LCC enjoying healthy growth across Europe.
The airline specialises in connecting small and medium-sized European cities with direct flights, on routes where connecting via a hub airport was previously the only option available to travellers.
Its sophisticated route-planning process also involves identifying routes that are not well served by rail or coach services either, effectively creating demand for low-cost air travel from scratch.
Volotea chose to use Amadeus from day one to sell its content and, a year on, this has proven to be a very happy marriage: bookings via travel agencies have grown quickly following implementation and now account for more than 20% of Volotea's revenues.

Targeted RNA Sequencing Market to See Huge Growth by 2024
Targeted RNA sequencing is being hailed as a major growth area up to 2024.
RNAseq has become indispensable analytical tool and is hotly expected expected that new RNAseq applications will be developed by the growing next-generation sequencing users community to support transcriptome oriented studies, notes Military Technologies.
Regionally, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East and Africa. North America followed by Europe dominates the global targeted RNA sequencing market, due to rising government support towards research and development. Asia is expected to witness high growth targeted RNA sequencing due to rising investment in India and China on research and development.
RNA sequencing (RNAseq) is a common tool for measuring relative gene expression levels. It is a versatile method that can be utilized to detect and characterize gene expression, mutations, gene fusions, and noncoding RNAs. Targeted RNA sequencing is a highly accurate method for selecting and sequencing specific transcripts of interest that offer both quantitative and qualitative information. Targeted RNA sequencing is a sequencing-based gene expression profiling method that allows quantification of messenger RNA (mRNA) or targeted non-coding RNA (ncRNA) levels for up to 300 customer-defined genes in a single amplification reaction. The ability to target a portion of the genome has revolutionized next-generation sequencing experiments. The analysis of exomes has exploded, custom panels for exome-style pull-down are being used to great effect for analyzing several thousand samples, and amplicon analysis is making it possible to run these samples in a single experiment.
Deciphering the role of both coding and non coding RNA is a critical area of science and David Smith of the Mayo Clinic wrote a piece for the FLG Magazine exploring the role of many RNA types in the understanding and treatment of cancer
Building a full picture that links the continuum from DNA through RNA protein and into phenotypic descriptions is a promised land of molecular medicine and will surely give us untold new insights in to 2018 and the coming years.

USS Alexandria
The USS Alexandria is a Crossfield Class Science Research Vessel. Unlike the USS Glen and the USS Discovery, she is not equipped with the spore drive system. She designed for scientific research. This sim will be treated like a research vessel, and will coincide with the story arc of the USS Augusta. Both ships will have crew that can interact with one another. The sim year will start off in 2257, just after the Klingon-Federation War. And the Start of Season 2 in the popular television series, Star Trek Discovery.
The Alexandria will be used in the primary focus of being a research vessel, while the USS Augusta is more of an exploration vessel and heavy cruiser. Both ships have impressive weapons power.
The new story arc will see the USS Alexandria heading off to uncharted space, within the Beta Quadrant. My thought was to use the USS Alexandria as a survey and research vessel, they would scan in new areas of space. The scans would be sent to Starfleet command for Starfleet vessels to follow up with.
The Alexandria's primary role is to survey the Beta Quadrant, and seeing how everything is unknown to them, they would be the best equipped to handle any space anomalies or rifts they may potentially encounter. The crew will be science focused, and since this not a time of war, there will be no section 31 elements to the story arc.
The first shared season story arc, will be apart of Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery, but it will be its own stand alone story arc from the popular television series. This story arc, will be unique to Bravo Fleet and the USS Alexandria and USS Augusta.
This season will launch the official cold war of the Federation and Klingon Empire. Both sides will adhere to the treaty, but neither side at the moment can lay claim to the planets in neutral space. They both have to attempt to win over the population, to joining their side. This will lead to some interesting story writing.
The Cold War between the Federation and Klingon Empire, will be handled similar to the way that Star Trek The Original Series handled it. Mainly through diplomacy. Klingons believe in strength by fear and honor. A conquering society. The Federation have a more peaceful solution. Unlike the Federation, the Klingons will accept any race, even pre warp societies. They will simple eradicated the population, and force them to work for the Empire.
The House of Mogai have threaten to expand their borders, can the Federation Task Force 64, reach out to the key planets in the uncharted space,, and help prevent a shift in balance within the quadrant. Also lurking around the corner, are the Suliban. They have pulled back their borders and protect them at great cost.
The crew of the USS Alexandria need to figure out, how to slow down the Klingon Advancement, and allow the Federation to expand. While they struggle with that dilemma, they also have to struggle with the dilemma that the Klingon Empire will not honor General Order One, and they are openly conquering any worlds they can reach first.

Timeliness and completeness of routine childhood vaccinations in young children residing in a district with recurrent vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks, Jerusalem, Israel
Childhood vaccination schedules recommend vaccine doses at predefined ages.
We evaluated vaccination completeness and timeliness in Jerusalem, a district with recurrent vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks.
Vaccination coverage was monitored by the up-to-date method (vaccination completeness at age 2 years). Timeliness of vaccination was assessed in children (n = 3,098, born in 2009, followed to age 48 months, re-evaluated at age 7 years) by the age-appropriate method (vaccine dose timeliness according to recommended schedule). Vaccines included: hepatitis B (HBV: birth, 1 month and 6 months); diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, polio, Haemophilus influenzae b (DTaP-IPV-Hib: 2, 4, 6 and 12 months); pneumococcal conjugate (PCV: 2, 4 and 12 months); measles-mumps-rubella/measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMR/MMRV: 12 months) and hepatitis A (HAV: 18 and 24 months).
Overall vaccination coverage (2014 cohort evaluated at age 2 years) was 95% and 86% for MMR/MMRV and DTaP-IPV-Hib4, respectively. Most children (94%, 91%, 79%, 95%, 92% and 82%) were up-to-date for HBV3, DTaP-IPV-Hib4, PCV3, MMR/MMRV1, HAV1 and HAV2 vaccines at 48 months, but only 32%, 28%, 38%, 58%, 49% and 20% were vaccinated timely (age-appropriate). At age 7 years, the median increase in vaccination coverage was 2.4%. Vaccination delay was associated with: high birth order, ethnicity (higher among Jews vs Arabs), birth in winter, delayed acceptance of first dose of DTaP-IPV-Hib and multiple-dose vaccines (vs MMR/MMRV). Jewish ultra-Orthodox communities had low vaccination coverage.
Considerable vaccination delay should be addressed within the vaccine hesitancy spectrum. Delays may induce susceptibility to vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks; tailored programmes to improve timeliness are required.

During this last weekend, I spent time reading through my diary from 2013. It has become an annual ritual for me. At the end of December, I pick up my diary for the last twelve months and read through all the entries. What happened. How I felt about it. What lessons my soul is learning. Diaries are private, and sometimes I think that mine should be burnt when I die, so that no one else will ever read them. Conversations we compose with ourselves may not necessarily be understood by anyone else.
But as I thought about writing an end of year column, it occurred to me there is one little passage from my 2013 diary that I could share. It comes from one of the dreams this year that I recorded. The Divine has blessed me with a very rich dream life. On occasion, I have dreams that offer some kind of insight. Something that helps me in my life, or helps me understand Gurbani better. Something from the Guru's teachings will crystallize in my dreams, but as a very visual, creative metaphor. It is as if my subconscious is developing its own language and images to integrate what the Guru teaches.
I have been working on a translation of Sukhmani Sahib for many years. One that I actually hope to finish in 2014. From this process of translation, my experience is that Sukhmani Sahib practically communicates the nondualistic vision of reality. Going past the perception of ego to see the One Hand guiding everything that happens.
In this particular dream, there is a moment when I am flying in a helicopter with another person. We are journeying from a more etheric realm to the earth together. Here is the passage that I want to share.
"We (me and this woman I am traveling with) are talking as we are flying, and I am trying to understand where she needs to be taken to. While in the helicopter, I look down at the crowded, busy streets, beaming with life. I get a glimpse, just for a second or two, of how everyone is exactly where they are supposed to be, being guided by their own magnetic field into exactly the situation they are supposed to have. In that sight, nothing is wrong. It is a cosmic dance of synchronicity with purpose, although the people in it are very unaware of it. It is true for the people on the street. It is true for the woman and I in the helicopter."
This little moment from my dream illustrates my life journey in 2013. Getting these glimpses of what Sukhmani Sahib means, on a practical level. How we each have a forehead, where the hand of the Divine writes what will come to us. That record encodes all the debts we have to pay, all the blessings, all the difficulties, everything. Because life is about this amazing journey where the soul gets to learn. And time and space is just the University for the soul's expansion.
From the forehead, from the arcline, we beam what is written like a magnet. And we move according to that record, without consciously knowing it. What comes to us. What leaves us. Where we go. What we experience. Mostly, we are not aware that this is how life works. But at a certain height, we can see it. Gurbani can take us to that height. It can give us the equanimity to understand what this experience of consciousness is really all about. For a second or two, in the dream, I beheld that cosmic dance and it crystallized a lot of what I had been studying in Sukhmani Sahib.
The problem, of course, is that it is easy to appreciate the dance when things happen that "I" like. It is much harder to understand that dance when things happen that "I" do not like. Or worse, that hurt me. The trick that I have discovered is to feel all of it, positive and negative. Let the feelings come, because they have their own messages and lessons, but keep bringing the mind to that nondualistic vision, and try to stay grounded there. No matter what happens, to truly see every moment, and every movement, as perfect and purposeful. To trust that, from the Divine perspective, each soul is exactly where it is supposed to be, experiencing and learning the lessons that it took form to learn.
To have seen this at all has brought a grace and blessing in my life, and I am thankful to Guru Arjan for what he wrote. And for how he set the example of it, by sitting on the hot plate for five days and five nights. He saw the perfect purposeful play, and he smiled the whole time. It is a test of consciousness. Because ultimately what Sukhmani Sahib teaches in that nondualistic vision is that no one is a victim. Ever. We each call into our lives what was written for us. It a challenge, because, emotionally, I want to blame someone or something for my pain, for my disappointment, for the feelings of betrayal. God knows, whatever little trials I may face in my life, they are nothing compared to that hot plate Guru Arjan sat upon. But the cosmic dance means that we are never victims. Just like Guru Arjan was not a victim. He left behind a record of how to live life from that perspective. A teaching that he embodied and shared in a practical way with all of us. And it is right there in Sukhmani Sahib.
These are my reflections of 2013, and a bit of my diary that I am grateful to share with all of you. May you be blessed with your own insightful dreams, and continue the journey of your soul's learning in 2014.
With Divine Light,
Ek Ong Kaar Kaur

Belt of antiprotons around Earth discovered by Pamela craft
BBC Science
A thin band of antiprotons enveloping the Earth has been spotted for the first time. The find, described in Astrophysical Journal Letters, confirms theoretical work that predicted the Earth's magnetic field could trap antimatter. The antiprotons were spotted by the Pamela satellite (an acronym for Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics) — launched in 2006 to study cosmic rays.More
A thermal planetary habitability classification for exoplanets
Planetary Habitability Laboratory @UPR Arecibo
Current and future observations by ground and orbital missions will be able to identify habitable exoplanets. But there are no scientific planetary habitability classifications schemes — Star Trek notwithstanding. Professor Abel Mendez Torres of the University of Puerto Rico proposes a classification scheme derived from the simple thermal classification for microbial life.More
NASA spacecraft data suggest water flowing on Mars
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Observations from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have revealed possible flowing water during the warmest months on Mars. Dark, finger-like features appear and extend down some Martian slopes during late spring through summer, fade in winter, and return during the next spring. Repeated observations have tracked the seasonal changes in these recurring features on several steep slopes in the middle latitudes of Mars' southern hemisphere. "The best explanation for these observations so far is the flow of briny water," said Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona, Tucson. More
Astronomy of Ramadan
Science Magazine features a nice profile of Algerian astrophysicist Nidhal Guessoum and his work to make the determination of Ramadan more systematic. Currently the determination of the holy month is made by naked eye observations that are very dependent on local atmospheric conditions. Guessoum is vice president of the Islamic Crescents' Observation Project, which has developed computer models to help Islamic religious leaders derive start dates for the holy month, no matter where their mosques are located.More
How planets can survive a supernova
Scientific America
When a star dies in a violent supernova, some of its planets may survive the blast but be ejected from orbit and sent wandering the galaxy, a new study suggests. The theory offers an explanation for the handful of free-roaming planets found so far, and it could mean many more such rogue worlds exist across the Milky Way. More
What is the Higgs boson and why is it important to science?
Why are physicists around the world eagerly searching for the Higgs? The so-called Higgs field itself, aside from being the explanation for why everything in the universe has mass, is also one of the final pieces of the puzzle we call the Standard Model of physics. It neatly ties together elements of quantum mechanics and electromagnetism, and would be an integral part of the material world that we all live in. Plus, it may even interact with other particles we have yet to discover, like the ones that may make up dark matter. More
Magnetic semiconductors for opto-spintronics
Diluted magnetic semiconductors — which are semiconductors in which some of the nonmagnetic cations have been replaced with paramagnetic ions — are often touted as being the ideal building blocks for spin-based electronics, or "spintronics" because of the interactions between the magnetic dopants and mobile charge carriers. ZnO in particular has attracted a flurry of attention recently as a possible spintonics material for high-temperature applications. Daniel Gamelin and colleagues of the University of Washington, Seattle, together with Rudolf Bratschitsch and colleagues at the University of Konstanz, Germany, have used time-resolved Faraday rotation to measure the ultrafast spin dynamics in ZnO thin films with and without cobalt doping.

Zeroed out by House Republicans, NASA's controversial Webb telescope struggles on
Scientists at Huntsville's Marshall Space Flight Center are continuing to test James Webb Space Telescope mirrors this summer, even though the telescope hailed as the world's next great leap in astronomy is arguably, at the moment, broke. The House Appropriations Committee zeroed out the Webb telescope in July, citing frustrations at cost overruns caused by bad budgeting and management mistakes. It literally provided no money for the telescope in fiscal 2012, even though $3.5 billion has already been spent.More
Study: Even Nobel Prize-winning ideas take a long time to get accepted
Many laureates see their Nobel-winning idea grow in acceptance from their first related scientific article to their most successful publication. But their later work related to the Nobel idea gains less acceptance, and many times is no more accepted by the scientific community than their very first efforts. More
US National Research Council proposes science education shift
The Scientist
A National Research Council panel, led by former American Physical Society President Helen Quinn, unveiled the details of a new framework to serve as the foundation for K-12 science education in the United States. Under the new framework, science curricula will focus on four core disciplinary areas — the physical sciences; the life sciences; earth and space sciences; and engineering, technology and the applications of science. This format differs from the traditional separation of science education into distinct classes like physics, chemistry, biology and environmental sciences — a division that has been criticized for being "a mile-wide and an inch-deep."More

Pakistani authorities have begun a crackdown on groups it claims are linked to banned organisations.
So far, more than 100 people have been arrested and the government's also seized more than 150 seminaries, schools and colleges and even four hospitals that it claims are linked to the outlawed organisations.
The groups say they will challenge the confiscations in court, arguing there's yet to be any legal convictions against them.
Many groups boast a great deal of popularity thanks to the assistance that they have provided to the poor.

We hope so! Children learn best, and are most successful, when they can better regulate their emotions. Emotional ABCs shows them how by teaching the basic steps of emotional literacy. We like to think of our program as the emotional equivalent of learning to read or to count by numbers. It's a basic skill for a lifetime of use.
Emotional ABCs is an educational program only. It is not therapy or medical advice. Emotional ABCs is not to be used to diagnose or treat a mental health problem or as a substitute for consulting a medical or mental health professional. Mental health diagnoses and treatment should be provided only by a qualified mental health professional. (See Disclaimer.)
Emotional ABCs teaches children how to recognize their feelings, and then shows them how to work through their feelings and make good choices. Emotional ABCs is simple and practical; it uses the most current techniques for working through emotions used by therapists, educators and psychologists, and presents these tools in a child-friendly, fun format. It aims to help children establish healthy, life-long habits of how to successfully manage their emotions.
We designed Emotional ABCs so that parents and/or caregivers, who might not have any formal training in emotional literacy, will be able to assist their children as they develop these vital skills. Our program can give children and their parents/caregivers a common language to use when discussing their emotions.
Because each child learns differently, this will depend on your child. Emotional ABCs is designed to be fun, useful and educational for children ages 4 and up. Developmentally, it is appropriate for very young children to act impulsively, but around the age of 4 years old, many children can start to better control some of their reactions. Our hope is to seamlessly join the developmental curve of a child so that as they become better able to understand emotions, they have the skills in place to manage them.
We have added audio to all aspects of our program so a non-reader or an emergent reader can easily follow our program.
It is important to note that Emotional ABCs should never be used to diagnose or treat a mental health problem or as a substitute for consulting a medical or mental health professional. Mental health diagnoses and treatment should be provided only by a qualified mental health professional. (See Disclaimer.) That being said, many children with learning difficulties have found our program extremely useful in working with their particular challenges. The best way for you to decide on the value of our program is for you to look at the details of what we offer and, in consultation with your healthcare professional, decide if Emotional ABCs might helpful in your particular circumstance.
We recommend that a child go through the program slowly and do a few lessons per day. It takes time to incorporate new skills and our games, coloring pages and activities are structured to keep the pace slow but interesting so new habits can be formed.
Because emotional responses can vary, many of our activities have several 'correct' answers so that different choices are respected and encouraged. Emotional ABCs is not focused on 'right' or 'wrong,' but is designed as a template to build a personal emotional skillset.
Emotional ABCs is sequential so that skills can be developed and reinforced. As a child masters one set of skills, they are ready for more advanced levels. In addition, flexibility has been built into Emotional ABCs so that once a game has been opened, it can be repeated at any time.
There are over 100 printables available that support the online program. Also, a library of Moody Cards can be printed. Children can use these cards to play matching games, card games and other unplugged activities.
Of course! Emotional ABCs is now available in more than a 100 countries. You can sign up directly on our website using a credit card or Paypal. Our prices are in U.S. dollars, so your payment will be converted based on the current exchange rate when payment is made.
Orders should be processed immediately. You will receive an email confirmation once your order is placed.

National Brands responds to counterfeiting of its largest-selling product with a hologram-enabled authentication solution on the packaging.
Building a brand is like raising children. You nurture and protect them because you want them to be healthy, happy and good. With brands, you can't just leave them to their own designs as things will not simply take care of themselves.
When it comes to brand protection, brands have to take deliberate steps to ensure nothing happens to the brand equity. The one-to-one relationship with each customer has to be re-established every time a product is used.
Brand owners who care about building a healthy, happy, and good relationship with their customers ensure product quality is where it needs to be. From food to beverage, over-the-counter pharmaceuticals to nutraceuticals, for products that go in or on the human body, the stakes are high.
As one of the world's leading global nutritional companies, Nutritional Brands is dedicated to quality and purity. These core values drive the mission, which is focused on improving the lives of its customers with a natural approach to healthcare. The company is constantly expanding its global reach to ensure it has the relationships, research, and resources needed to remain a leader and an innovator in the natural health marketplace.
Unfortunately it's this success and leadership counterfeiters have tried to take advantage of and capitalize on. This was indeed the case for the Aerobic Life MagO7 supplement.
"Aerobic Life is our largest and best selling brand," says Danna Pratte, chief executive officer, Nutritional Brands. "It's in the digestive health and immunity category and our number-one product is MagO7. It's a proprietary product and literally a brand in and of itself under the Aerobic Life brand. It's the most widely known and used digestive health and immunity supplement worldwide.
"In the supplement industry, unfortunately there are companies that try to counterfeit successful products," Pratte notes. "We were contacted by a long-time customer of ours that had purchased a MagO7 product through a major online retailer. She called to let us know she had been purchasing for years, and that the bottle of product she received didn't look the same as what she had purchased before. The capsules were a little different. We immediately sent for the bottle, and after receiving it realized this was not our product. The unfortunate thing about it is we contacted the online retailer immediately, but it wasn't until weeks later when we got our attorneys involved that they would disclose the customer to us, and finally took action to close this customer's storefront."
Private labeling a factor
Another factor that let Nutritional Brands know counterfeit products were being sold under the Aerobic Life brand had to do with private labeling.
"My company was a long-time manufacturer for private label customers of MagO7," Pratte says. "But some of these customers felt that they could produce a like product and began manufacturing and selling it under other brand names and possibly under a fake MagO7 label."
Counterfeiting is a global problem spanning industries. According to U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 6% of world trade is impacted. And according to the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), it's estimated that 7% of the U.S. food supply contains fraudulent ingredients.
Becoming a negative statistic was not part of the marketing plan for Nutritional Brands. But how it chose deal with the problem of counterfeiting and brand protection was vital to ensure business success.
"In an attempt to protect our trademark and brand name, as well as the quality and integrity of our product/ingredients, we wanted to find a solution that would make it difficult for imitation products to be easily put into the marketplace," Pratte says. "It was also important to give customers the confidence in knowing that the products they purchase are authentic."

We often find the best deals on various goods and services when the monthly finances are exhausted. You have to give up the opportunity to fulfill your desires at a, particularly attractive price.
Direct lenders: bad credit is not a problem
Everyone can find something useful to them only if their financial situation allows for unscheduled purchases. Self-gratification can come when your monthly income is greater than your expenses, there is an extra amount of money that you can spend at your discretion – spontaneous, unplanned. The time of falling prices often coincides with the pre-pay period, when it is desirable and advisable to keep a distance from shopping centers and Internet portals.
But what if you have an overwhelming desire to really buy something you need, but your financial situation does not allow it? There is one solution to this situation – fast credit. Quick credit is a cash loan designed to help people secure their economic security. Most people opt for a cash loan a few days before salary, because that's when additional financial resources are needed to make everyday purchases that can meet basic needs. Also, a loan can be a salvage in crisis situations – for example, borrowing can help cover some important payment. And, of course, even when you want to make an unplanned purchase, fast credit can help.
Need money to buy a product or service that is available right now at a particularly attractive price? Use the services of fast credit companies because it's – fast, easy, simple, safe and profitable way to borrow! There is no need to seek other people's help for a long time because now the borrowing process is going on the internet – do not leave home and without words – please.
All you need to do to get a payday loan direct lender, even you have bad credit:
1) Choose a credit company -you may try Bridge Payday;
2) Register on its website;
3) Apply for a loan!
Following these three steps, the company will respond as quickly as possible, within minutes, as to whether the loan will be granted to you or not. In the event that a company refuses a loan, you know that there is a reason for it, but the company is under no obligation to explain it further. Each lender has set its own requirements for clients. Restrictions do not allow anyone to get cash loans. For example, there is an age limit. Citizens of the Republic of Latvia are eligible to receive a quick loan from the age of 18. But a number of companies start lending to people who are 19 or 20 or 21. This age limit is not the same for all companies. If you are only 18, you need to pay extra attention to the age limit. The quick credit from 18 years is issued by fast credit companies.
The companies have other requirements and restrictions
It is not only age that is the criterion used by companies to decide whether a loan will be granted to a particular person or not. Companies pay attention to the credit history of the loan applicant. Credit history must be positive for the company to be able to trust the customer. A bad credit history – bad or negative – indicates that payments have been made in the past. Persons with a bad credit history do not seem as "attractive" to lenders as those with a positive credit history. But people with a bad credit history also have the opportunity to get a quick loan from one of the companies. It is possible that the lender may apply a higher interest rate to the person with a damaged credit history and may require a pledge. These measures are intended to provide an additional sense of security that the loan will be repaid successfully.
Grant loans to people who have a formal employment relationship
This means that people without a job cannot get a loan there. However, this is not a requirement for all companies. People can get a loan without a job! Lack of financial resources often affects those who have lost their jobs to recover, to solve the crisis, and need additional financial resources. Fast credit for unemployment could only be a solution if this shortage of money is temporary. If the person knows that, for example, they will have money to pay back to the lender within the next month.
Fast credit for unscheduled purchases, fast credit for crises… Whatever the basis and purpose of borrowing, it must be done with special responsibility. Borrow if you know you can repay the loan. And – choose the amount of credit that suits your economic situation. Look at the credit comparison chart and make the right choice! Borrow wisely and responsibly!
