Ubuntu and Debian packages are all bundled in something what is called a repository. Some people, like me, create their own:
My repository links with the Jaunty distribution (that is Ubuntu 9.04). Your can connect yours to any other, like Debians experimental repository.
First create your own repository.
My repository is accessible over the web, so I installed it on my web server:
[email protected]:~$ cd /var/www/
[email protected]:/var/www$ sudo mkdir packages
[email protected]:/var/www$ cd packages/
In this
/var/www/packages we will create a pool, the 'jaunty' distribution and the cache directories:
[email protected]:/var/www/packages$ sudo mkdir -p pool/main
[email protected]:/var/www/packages$ sudo mkdir -p dists/jaunty/main/binary-i386
[email protected]:/var/www/packages$ sudo mkdir .cache
Now two files need to be created. The first one is the
apt-release.conf. Make sure that it looks like:
APT::FTPArchive::Release::Codename "jaunty";
APT::FTPArchive::Release::Origin "elevenbits.com";
APT::FTPArchive::Release::Components "main";
APT::FTPArchive::Release::Label "ElevenBits Ubuntu Repository";
APT::FTPArchive::Release::Architectures "i386";
APT::FTPArchive::Release::Suite "jaunty;
The second file is called
apt-ftparchive.conf. This one should look like:
Dir {
ArchiveDir ".";
CacheDir "./.cache";
Default {
Packages::Compress ". gzip bzip2";
Contents::Compress ". gzip bzip2";
TreeDefault {
BinCacheDB "packages-$(SECTION)-$(ARCH).db";
Directory "pool/$(SECTION)";
Packages "$(DIST)/$(SECTION)/binary-$(ARCH)/Packages";
Contents "$(DIST)/Contents-$(ARCH)";
Tree "dists/jaunty" {
Sections "main";
Architectures "i386";
After you'd created these file your system should look like this:
[email protected]:/var/www/packages$ ls -al
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 14 13:32 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 14 13:22 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 14 13:26 .cache
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 427 Aug 14 13:32 apt-ftparchive.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 282 Aug 14 13:30 apt-release.conf
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 14 13:26 dists
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 14 13:26 pool
Add your own packages and update the repository.
Here the
yourpackage package version 1.0 is copied into the new (empty) repository:
[email protected]:~$ cd /var/www/packages/pool/main
[email protected]:/var/www/packages/pool/main$ sudo cp ~/yourpackage_1.0_all.deb .
Now the repo needs to be initialized. This you can do using these commands:
[email protected]:~$ cd /var/www/packages
[email protected]:/var/www/packages$ sudo apt-ftparchive generate apt-ftparchive.conf
pool/main: 1 files 9900B 0s
Done Packages, Starting contents.

After this, the repository is ready to be used. See
http://localhost/packages to make sure.
Remember to re-initialize the repo each time the
/var/www/packages is altered.
Enable the repository on your client machines.
On the Ubuntu machines that need access to your repository, use
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
to add in the repository address:
deb http://ww.xx.yy.zz/packages jaunty main
where ww.xx.yy.zz is the address where your server lives.
From now on the system has access to our own private repository. Cool, no?
To develop Django applications, I use Eclipse with the Pydev plugin with some other extras. Here is a small how-to on my setup:
Download and install these different components:
I'm using Django 1.0.2 final but I guess that Django's 1.1 beta or the development release would also work fine.
Just download the eclipse platform release and install it.
Then download the Python IDE plugin and install it through the update manager, using these guidelines. Then you can use this page to configure the Python interpreter.
A project is never complete when it is not version controlled. So install Subversion and the Subversion plugin. When installing the plugin, take care to select the correct features. The SVN Team Provider is required, together with at least one SVN Connector. I selected the SVNKit as my connector.
Then create your own Django projects. This can be done using the Eclipse
Run -> Run configurations. Here are the settings to start the lightweight development web server through the
Then specify
runserver as program argument:
Happy coding!

20+ Places to Find Free Video Clips
Stock footage can be an amazing tool for anyone who needs to create videos, or add video header backgrounds to their website. And while it's not difficult to find lots of beautiful footage for sale online, tracking down free stock footage can be a little bit trickier.
The Legal Stuff: What You Need to Know When Using Free Stock Footage
- Not all stock footage is created equal as far as legality goes. Of course, you can't just grab any footage off the internet and use it in your own marketing – but even footage that's been licensed for public use may come with a set of rules and regulations that you need to understand. Be sure to check the Terms of Use, of any content you choose to use.
1. Pixabay
- Pixabay is famous for their extensive library of stock photos, but they offer a great selection of free stock videos as well. All of their content is licensed under CC0.
- Pexels, like Pixabay, offers both stock photos and stock footage for free. All their content is licensed under CC0.
3. Videvo
- Videvo offers a large selection of stock footage and motion graphics for you to choose from. In return, they request that users give them a shout-out on social media, although this isn't mandatory.
4. Videezy
- Videezy has tons of beautiful, free HD and 4K videos in many categories for you to browse. They also offer some pro content that costs money. Not all of their clips are licensed under CC0, so make sure to click "License info" on each individual clip's page to find out how you can use it.
- In addition to free stock videos, CuteStockFootage also offers a variety of other goodies – like photos, audio clips, fonts, and textures – under the "Free Resources" tab in their menu. If you use any of the footage here, you're required to provide credit to cutestockfootage.com.
6. XStockVideo
- XStockVideo has a simple user interface and a number of popular categories you can search by. Their stock footage is free to use for non-commercial purposes. If you're planning on using a clip for commercial purposes, you can buy an extended license for "a small fee."
7. Vidsplay
- Vidsplay lets you search their collection of footage by category or by keyword. They require that you credit vidsplay.com if you use any of their clips.
- Bottled Video offers 640×480 video clips for free, as well as HD and 4K footage that you can purchase. They ask that you credit their site after using their material.
- Pro tip: If there's a clip you really want that isn't currently free, it may be worth checking back later. However, because of this additional hassle, this might not be the best stock footage site to explore first.
- Need a background for your video? Ignite Motion has you covered. They appreciate – but don't require – credit from people who use their clips.
10. Wave.video
- Users of an online video maker Wave.video have an access to the built-in 200+ million stock library of royalty-free photos and videos that they can use for creating videos. There are a lot of both free and paid video options, so you will always have a wide selection to choose from.
11. Mazwai
- If you're looking for gorgeous, cinematic HD footage, take a look through Mazwai's library. Their minimalistic grid layout means you might be scrolling for a while to find what you need, but the clips are so high-quality that you probably won't mind. Most of Mazwai's footage is licensed under an attribution license.
12. Motion Elements
- MotionElements currently offers upwards of 3000 free stock videos, and they post new ones every week. They also have a larger selection of footage available for purchase, as well as other content like images, GIFs, and audio clips. They require a credit back to their site if you use their work.

14. OrangeHD
- If you're looking for HD footage or a nature video of any kind, Orange HD is worth a visit. Their library may not be the most extensive on the internet, since the site is the work of just two people, but the clips are beautiful and unique. The license type of the footage is unspecified.
15. Production Crate
- Production Crate puts a lot of resources – like stock footage, special effects, templates, and audio – right at your fingertips. It's free to use, but you will need to make an account. Free accounts are limited to five downloads per day.

- Life of Vids is run by Leeroy, a digital agency based in Montreal. While the footage selection on this site is somewhat limited, the clips are very attractive. They have lots of good aerial shots available for download. Licensing information isn't provided on the site, although the owners stipulate that users can redistribute a maximum of 10 videos on other sites.
19. SplitShire
- SplitShire is the brainchild of web designer Daniel Nanescu, who wanted to share his collection of free stock photos and videos with the world. The only restrictions on what you can do with the content: you may not resell it, upload it to other stock websites, or create anything offensive with it.
- As the name implies, this site provides free motion backgrounds. You can use them for whatever you want – there are no restrictions. You're also not obligated to credit the site.
- On Stock Footage 4 Free, you'll find free clips in a wide variety of categories, from nature to transportation to sports. New clips are usually added every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so check back frequently.
- Beachfront B-Roll is a video blog that offers HD stock footage and animated backgrounds. Because of the format, you may have to hunt a little to find what you're looking for here, although the site does let you choose a category to browse at the top of the page.
- Pond5 charges for most of their footage, but they do offer free older footage as well. All of these clips are in the public domain.
- Fancy Footage Club is no longer operating, but their website is still up, and you can still browse their collection of clips. You can also download all their existing stock footage here.
- The site's terms of use are no longer online, so the licensing of their clips is unclear.

Bolsover elections: Labour's cuts councillors punished by voters
Socialist Party offers fighting alternative
Jon Dale Mansfield Socialist Party
Elections in Bolsover, Derbyshire, don't usually make national news. But on 2 May Labour lost 14 councillors and control of the council.
The district council has been Labour since it was formed in 1972 and MP Dennis Skinner used to have the biggest Labour majority in the East Midlands.
Neighbouring districts of North East Derbyshire and Ashfield also saw terrible results for Labour. This ex-mining area showed its anger at Labour and lack of a fightback after years of economic decline.
With few resources but a clear programme, Socialist Party candidates showed the potential to build a working-class alternative to Tory cuts passed on by right-wing Labour.
In Bolsover North and Shuttlewood ward, Socialist Party candidate Elaine Evans won 45% of the vote and came within a whisker of winning a seat.
Overall, there was a low turnout - down to 19% in one ward. Jeremy Corbyn has not got across a clear anti-austerity message to maintain voters' past loyalty to Labour, particularly with compromises to Blairite Remain MPs over Brexit.
The other big factor was many independent candidates standing on very local issues and promising to put 'community before politics'.
They will now be tested by the same cuts that Labour failed to fight. Differences between them will emerge.
Over the past 20 years local cuts have included closure of the swimming bath, community hospital, council offices, Job Centre, public toilet, Sure Start centre and youth centre.
Huge warehouses with zero-hour contracts and low pay have replaced relatively well-paid and secure mining and factory jobs.
Most of these changes don't fall within district council responsibilities - it's government and county council cuts, and changes in the capitalist economy.
But Labour district councillors argued for years that their hands were tied and there was nothing they could do but try and minimise the damage.
Bolsover district didn't make as big cuts as some councils have. They merged top management with North East Derbyshire and sold council property instead.
But they failed to mount a campaign to win extra money from the government by implementing no-cuts budgets and mobilising mass support.
They have taken the blame for being in power all these years while the decline has taken place.

Christmas' Motivating Monsters: a.k.a., Santa's Rogue Gallery
By Lance Hickerson, Reference Department
WARNING! Dangerous, do not approach. If seen, call Santa immediately.
**The Rogues Gallery is the cast of colorful and numerous Recurring Characters that show up to torment the heroes week after week.**
Zwarte Piet, (aka. Black Pete)
Active Areas: Belgium, Netherlands
Bio: He was formerly a Moorish servant from Spain, or a Turkish orphan, or Ethiopian Slave rescued by Saint Nick and now attending Saint Nick as a helper
M.O.: A Prankster who might whip naughty children with birch wood rods or put coal in their shoes. However, those especially naughty he could stuff in his sack and carry them off to Spain.
Père Fouettard, (aka. "Father Whipper")
Active Areas: France
Bio: This rouge's chilling past involves his killing and cooking three wealthy children who stayed at his inn. Saint Nicolas ended up resurrecting the three children and bringing Fouettard to repentance. Fouettard then became St. Nick's helper.
M.O.: For those untouched by the good will of St. Nicolas, Fouettard doles out whippings to children who misbehave.
Frau Perchta
Active Areas: Austria, Germany
Bio: Thought to be from a nature goddess who affects humans only during Christmas. She rewards good behavior and punishes bad behavior.
M.O.: Good children might receive a silver piece in their shoes, while naughty children would receive something much, much worse. She would take out their insides by slitting open their bellies, and replace their entrails with garbage, straw and rocks which are sewn up to cause grievous pain. Oh for a mere lump of coal!
Hans Trapp
Active Areas: Alsace; Lorraine France
Bio: Trapp was supposedly a real man who was exiled into the forest where he would disguise himself as a straw-stuffed scarecrow and cannibalize children. He was struck down with lightening by the Lord.
M.O.: Trapp accompanies Santa to punish naughty children with beatings.
Active Areas: Iceland
Bio: She is a giant ogress who has powers that let her detect children who misbehave. Her favorite food is a stew of rebellious children.
M.O.: She is full of mischief and trouble, and likes to eat children who disobey their parents.
The Yule Cat
Active Areas: Iceland
Bio: The Yule Cat is ogress Gryla's pet. And she is likewise dangerous and threatening.
M.O.: The Yule Cat encourages hard work. Children who do not work hard and are lazy will be eaten by the Yule Cat.
Active Areas: Germany
Bio: Belsnickel is from the word belzen meaning "to wallop," along with nickel referring to St. Nicholas.
M.O.: He is a wandering man dressed in tattered furs wearing a mask and carrying a switch to frighten children into good behavior. He rewards good behavior with candy.
Active Areas: Found especially throughout the Alpine region and including Austria, Bavaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia
Bio: The half goat, half demon appearance of Krampus seems most likely to have grown out of early Alpine traditions related to the Horned God of the Witches of the region. Krampus eventually becomes a "side kick" of St. Nicholas in a rogue sort of way.
M.O.: He especially punishes unruly children with birch switches. But for really bad children Krampus might put them in a basket, drown them in a stream, and then devour them.

Anti-Santa: The Krampus
By Lindsay Roseberry, Reference Department
Krampus is a new movie coming out in December that's rated PG-13; the story is based on the Germanic legend of Krampus. It could be scary for the little ones. Read below and you'll see why. And if you're wondering what is a Krampus? It's not a what; it's a who.
Krampus, a kind of bogeyman, is most often found in Germanic and Austrian legends and is a terrifying companion of St. Nicholas, usually seen as a black or dark figure with horns, (and often a very long tongue) shadowing the good Santa Claus. He walks behind Saint Nicholas on St. Nicholas Day Eve (December 6) and leaves ashes or sticks for the naughty children, while St. Nicholas leaves sweets or fruit for the good little girls and boys. Krampus is the one who punishes the bad children, those who misbehave or are mean to others. He carries a large sack with him, and legend has it that he carried bad girls and boys (those on the naughty list) away to store in a tall tree for eating later. You wouldn't want to be on this naughty list! In some towns, not too long ago, he followed Saint Nicholas from town to town and quizzed children on their deeds, whether they were good of bad that year, whether they did well in school and their chores.
Some think that the word Krampus comes from the Germanic word for talon, similar to crampon, the device climbers use when climbing icy mountains. Some folklorists say that Krampus is the god of the witches, brought low to serve Saint Nicholas. Others say he is a pagan god, greatly diminished. Perhaps this is why Krampus celebrations were banned by the Catholic Church for centuries. He is similar to the horned god the witches in colonial New England were accused often of consorting with!
He is mostly known in Europe, Austria and Germany, and is popular in Christmas parades in those countries. In Holland, he's known as Black Peter, or Zwarte Piet. In Germany, he's known as Knecht Ruprecht and in some parts of Germany, Hans Trapp. When the Pennsylvania Dutch came to America, they brought the name Fur Nicholas (Pelz Nicholas) with them. This name became Belsnickel down through the years. Also, in Philadelphia, there is still a Mummer's parade on New Year's Day, often with people in Krampus costumes. In Austria, sweets made out of dates and nuts are made to look like Krampus are sold in markets. At one time, people could send Christmas cards with Krampus on them. Who's to say they won't make a reappearance? In Ypsilanti, they put on a Krampus Ball. People can come in costume and dance. One of the organizers has called it "Halloween for Adults," even though it's a Christmas party.
Many families brought the legend of Krampus with them when they came to the United States. Perhaps Brom was from one of those families? The legend of Krampus became more widely known in the United States from the book Krampus the Yule Lord by the author and artist Brom. The cover of his book is quite arresting. If something looking like that was asking me if I was a good child, I'd say yes no matter what. In Brom's story, Krampus has been imprisoned by Saint Nicholas, and is working on getting free to take his revenge. He has a few servants, called belsnickels, who carry out his orders. Whether or not he succeeds, you'll have to find out yourself.
He was known to carry with him a whip, a stick, a bell or a sack.

Over the past four years, there has been a great shift in awareness in businesses and organizations of the need to use data more effectively and for a greater advantage. Yet, many organizations struggle with getting started—which datasets are important, what questions to ask, and how to set up a project and run it.
During this time, Pivigo has delivered over 80 five-week data science projects to over 50 organizations from a range of industries (including media, retail, tech, charities, and healthcare), sizes, and age (from large corporates such as KPMG, Royal Mail, Barclays, and M&S to SMEs and two-person startups). What Pivigo has consistently seen is the opportunity that lies in running very short, Agile data science projects for organizations to become data driven in a short period of time. Kim Nilsson shares her experiences, both good and bad, running these projects, covering several case studies of projects completed and offering advice and lessons learned on how to prepare data, how to brainstorm ideas and prioritize them, how to set up a project, and how to recruit a team.
Kim Nilsson is the CEO of Pivigo, a London-based data science marketplace and training provider responsible for S2DS, Europe's largest data science training program, which has by now trained more than 650 fellows working on over 200 commercial projects with 120+ partner companies, including Barclays, KPMG, Royal Mail, News UK, and Marks & Spencer. An ex-astronomer turned entrepreneur with a PhD in astrophysics and an MBA, Kim is passionate about people, data, and connecting the two.

Two hundred years ago Scottish settlers came to what is now Manitoba to establish a colony. Against almost insurmountable hardship they endured and prospered. Red River Remembered explores their challenges, courage, fortitude and determination to succeed. While most history tends to focus on the role of men in early Canada, Noni Campbell-Horner has attempted to shed light on the incredible contribution of the women of Red River, especially through their efforts in the kitchen and at the dining room table.
Campbell-Horner is a direct descendant of two of the original families that arrived in North America in the 1800s. Lessons learned long ago in the author's grandmother's kitchen included instructions in food preparation and preservation, proper behavior, manners, how to dress, sew and generally navigate through life the "Old Kildonan" way.
The Red River Settlers made a major contribution to Canada. In this bicenntenial year of the founding of the first European settlement in western Canada, Campbell-Horner has prepared a unique celebration of our pioneer past.

At KLS Martin, we strive to restore patient health by finding and developing innovative device solutions that address the individual patient.
Through relationships with clinical experts, we are able to solve challenging problems.
The L1 Rib system design and CB3 technology was inspired by the feedback and advice of clinical experts in the search for a better solution in rib fracture treatment. This product is available for use in the United States. The CB3 technology is patent pending.
Each of the products that KLS Martin develops address the same goal, to restore the patient's bone through uneventful healing after surgery.
Any osteosynthesis solution needs to easily be applied to each rib. This is challenging as each rib's curvature, length and surface contour varies greatly.
We analyzed the average data and developed a smart shape with complex geometry that was adaptable to each of these variables.
The two main designs in the L1 Rib system, Z and X shape CB3 plates, are shown here. These smart shape adaptable designs enable the same plates to be applied to any rib shape, decreasing inventory and improving overall system ease of use.
This complex geometry and CB3 screw engagement allows for more screws per area of rib than conventional reconstruction plates, minimizing the footprint of the implant which has handling and functional benefit.
Minimizing footprint enables physical placement in a smaller segment of bone, smaller dissection or retraction area, easier precision in placement. It also frees up the rib for natural movement.
Traditional bicortical fixation requires careful drilling, depth measurement and screw placement, all of which must consider any risk to the anatomical structures beyond the inner cortex.
Shown here is a comparison of CB3 (converging biaxial three dimensional) cortical locking screws vs traditional bicortical screws that may penetrate the inner cortex. Note also that the CB3 requires only one depth of screw vs a series of lengths to match the measured depth of each area of a rib. This simplifies the application and ease of use.
Screws can be placed very rapidly with the smart maxDriver, a battery operated cordless screwdriver.
The Drill Free ThreadLock TS (Taper Screw) design offers a single pitch locking mechanism that allows for up to 20 degrees of angulation in any direction. Only one monocortical screw length is needed due to the unique properties of CB3 osteosynthesis.

Q: What kind of training do acupuncturists have?
A: Training to become an acupuncturist is very extensive especially in the state of California. To attend an acupuncture college, the prospective student must have an undergraduate degree in the sciences. Then follows an additional six years of study which includes a two year internship. It takes another year of study for the board exams in acupuncture. In California, acupuncturists are granted a primary care license which is the same license granted to physicians although, of course, the two types of medicine encompass different diagnostic and treatment systems.

Sydney CBD enjoys another day of sydneyALERT – a chorus of 98 whooping loud speakers and 13 vertiginous scrolling marquees claimed to "educate and remind the public .. what it sounds like and what it is used for."
Lucky. Them.
The Gummint has immense faith that in a quake or explosion the sydneyALERT would arrest thoughtful citizenry to ponder instructions – and not dash around like scalded chooks.
The nearest thing to this in Throsby's quaint little hamlet is a shop whose security alarm yelps for hours after each electrical storm and keeps the entire neighbourhood heads-under-pillows into the wee smalls.
Dystopia was a common theme of film and story after the 2nd Great War in a world traumatised by both the reality of conquering dictatorships felling nation after nation and enemy propaganda of goose-stepping militia adoring their frothing dictator.
Movies depicted lethargic citizenry ambling in public spaces with expressions as drab as their clothes, harangued by loudspeakers and screens oozing reassurance The State had their six, though it actually had their short & curlies.
The point is, these authors and screenwriters knew what millions had just died for and reprised it as powerful imagery to make the lesson ever more clear. It would destroy them to imagine just two generations later such horrors of public control would be "sold" to governments of "free" societies, and that their populations would submit with barely a whimper of either protest or comprehension.
Throsby doesn't fear dictators much now, just the blind march to a self-inflicted dystopia peddled by well-dressed corporate lobbyists as "public safety" to broaden an otherwise limited market.
And while it's a case of the gummint being damned if they do, and if they don't, everyone quietly accepts another blow to common sense.
Meanwhile we, the 99.9% outside a designated zone, must struggle on unprotected, in eternal mortal danger, lacking the gentle authoritarian prodding of public nannyship bestowed on our Sydaney CBD cousins in their time of confusion, distress, and panic.
Poor Pommies
Half a million surveillance cameras scan Londoners. There's a camera for each 32 Englanders. Still not enough, say the guardians of that island paradise, now deploying cameras that "scold" via speakers behaviour deemed "antisocial." In the list of grateful precincts hosting the nag-cams is, ironically, and of course, Barking in London. Not only Barking's barking camera, but barking mad.
As Pommie blogger Martin Selby grumbles ..
Urban Dystopia has been here for over ten years. CCTV unlimited, idiot public announcements of the obvious, never ending telling what to do and what not to do. Health and Sodding Safety creeping in to every aspect of your life.
Sometimes it's hardly a surprise many urban people don't smile, don't speak and live in their own tawdry little worlds with no interest in what goes on around them.."
If anyone has a map of where all the CCTV cameras are in Newcastle – don't bother. We shall soon and inevitably be fully surveilled, recorded, facially recognised, and AI-tracked. Your face will betray you 24×7. Your car, cards, and phone will – already do – snitch on you. And if you're not on 'the grid' then, hey, of course, you're at home.
And they know where that is.
[Sigh. Throsby's having a half-empty day]

However, the symmetry of "friending" on Facebook remains an important feature of the software and of the social graph that the company continues to build. Different software platforms and different social networks are shaped by how the software imagines relations between users—that is, by different ethical programs.
It's interesting to see how FB incorporates the asymetry that other social networks (like twitter, tumblr, Instagram, et al) started with. You can see how the initial symmetrical relationships (born in large part within the metaphors of "friending" as Brown mentions here) determined a certain kind of future for FB.
It's fascinating to see FB try to work against that initial framing to redefine its ethos/habitat.

Therefore, beloved friend, when you judge, you have moved out of alignment with what is true. You have decreed that the innocent are not innocent. And if you would judge another as being without innocence, you have already declared that this is true about you. Therefore, to practice forgiveness actually cultivates the quality of consciousness in which, finally, you come to forgive yourself. And it is, indeed, the forgiven who remember their God.

Pain and Pain Management Methods
Pain and Pain Management
Pain can be Short Term
, as caused by an underlying trauma or disease, which is eased once healing occurs, and/or treated with drugs.
Effective Long Term Pain
Management, however, often demands Pharmacologic measures, Physical Therapy, Interventional procedures, and Psychological measures, either individually or in various combinations.
Acute pain
medication is for rapid onset of pain such as from an inflicted Trauma or from Post-operative pain.
Chronic pain
medication is for alleviating long-lasting, ongoing pain.
It is beyond the scope
of this report to discuss the various types of drugs that are used to treat pain, as the following generic groups each contain so many types, the lists growing constantly.
Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs
Generally have a limited effect in Chronic pain treatment due to the adverse effects of long-term use.
Can provide a short, intermediate or long acting pain relief, depending upon the specific properties of the medication, and whether it is produced as an extended release drug.
Antidepressants and Anti-epileptic drugs
These drugs are often prescribed 'Off-Label' for chronic pain management and act mainly within the pain pathways of the central nervous system. They are generally more effective in treating neuropathic pain disorders, and have a longer list of side effects than opiate or NSAID treatments for chronic pain, and including the risk of siezures resulting from suddenly ceasing Antiepileptics.
Interventional procedures
Typically used for Chronic Back pain, include Epidural Steroid Injections, Neurolytic Blocks, Facet Joint Injections, Spinal Cord Stimulators, and Intrathecal Implants.
The number of Interventional Procedures done for pain has grown over the last few years.
Physical Therapy
is either used alone, or simultaneously with Pharmacologic measures, Interventional procedures, and Behavioral Therapy to treat pain, usually as part of a multidisciplinary program.
has shown effectiveness for the treatment of pain, and, in some cases of acute pain in the abdomen area, face, headache, knee, low back, neck, dentistry and sciatica.
Further proof is needed for claims of effectiveness in other conditions because trials originating in China are all positive (not as a result of fraud, but of publication bias), whereas trials in the West show a mixture of positive, negative and neutral results.
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy
using stress reduction and relaxation has been found to reduce chronic pain in some patients, although a large number of patients gain no benefit.
was reviewed in 2007, which found evidence for its effectiveness in the reduction of pain in some conditions, although the trial only included 13 cases. The report concluded that a lot more research would be needed.
Inadequate treatment
of pain is common in all departments, in the management of all forms of chronic pain including cancer pain, and in end of life care. This neglect is extended to all ages, from babies to the frail elderly.
The World Health Organization
(WHO) estimated in late 2008 that about 80 percent of the world population has either no or inadequate access to treatment for moderate to severe pain. Yet the pain treatment medications cheap, safe, effective, relatively uncomplicated to administer, and international law obliges countries to make adequate pain medications available.
Reasons for under-treatment
in pain management include cultural, societal, religious, and political attitudes. Furthermore, the physicians concentrate on the physical aspects of the trauma or disease rather than quality of life.
Other reasons
may have to do with inadequate training, personal biases or fear of prescription drug abuse and fear of being accused of over-prescribing.
Current strategies
being applied for improved pain management include, drawing it up as an ethical issue, advancing it as a legal right, classifying failure to provide pain management as professional misconduct, and publishing guidelines and standards of practice by professional bodies.

Papa's Perspective
The advantages of using virtualization, and specifically VirtualBox, to develop on the Windows 8 platform.
Virtual Hard Drive Options
If you want great performance and an isolated OS that doesn't affect what's already on your PC, installing a Virtual Hard Drive (VHD) on metal is a great option. There are two ways to do this, and it really depends on whether you're willing to wipe your partitions first or not (thus obliterating what's on the drive).
If you're willing to clean the partition first, the advantage is that you can create multiple VHD files for multiple OSes and boot from any of them. You are then running right off the metal, so the performance is great. Plus, your OSes are all contained within a single VHD file, limiting the risk of one OS going down and affecting the others.
However, if you already have an OS on your PC and want to try booting from a new VHD, you can still do that. Your existing OS won't be as isolated from the VHD, but it's still a workable option. My recommendation is to wipe the partition clean first if you can. You can refer to this blog post that explains in detail how to get an OS up and running on metal.
But perhaps you want another option which is easy to get going and to get rid of when you're done. That's when running the OS as a virtual machine (VM) in a program like VirtualBox can be great. I like VirtualBox because it's free, supports multiple OSes (including Windows 8), is easy to set up, and flexible.
VirtualBox follows the "keep it simple" guideline. I haven't been able to get a VM as responsive as running off the metal, but there are ways to squeeze out extra performance to make it very usable. Plus, since Windows 8 works best on widescreen resolutions, VirtualBox is great since it allows configurable screen resolutions. In fact, Dan Wahlin and I have been using this technique for some Windows 8 videos we've been recording.
Start by downloading and installing VirtualBox, then downloading the Windows 8 Developer Preview iso file. You'll also want to download and install the VirtualBox Extension Pack if you want to use any USB 2.0 devices. Run VirtualBox and click the New button to create a new virtual machine. Enter a name for your virtual machine such as "Win8 Preview" and select Windows 8 (64 bit) as your Windows version, as shown in Figure 1.
Click Next and set the memory (Figure 2) to at least 2GB of RAM, but if you can afford it you should give it 4GB.
Click Next, indicate that you want to use a start-up disk and create a new hard disk. Click Next again, and select a VDI for a VirtualBox Disk image, as shown in Figure 3. You can select one of the other options, like VHD, but I've found the most success with VDI. Click Next and select either dynamically allocated or fixed. I recommend dynamically allocated so you don't get stuck with a limit, but fixed offers better performance, if that's a priority. Click Next and choose the location of the virtual machine and its size. Click Next and then click Create.
Now that your VM's created, select it in VirtualBox and click the Start button in the toolbar. When the First Run Wizard appears, click the Next button and select the iso file (Figure 4) for the Windows 8 Developer Preview you downloaded earlier. Then click the Next and Start buttons. Once the setup process for Windows 8 begins, follow the prompts as you normally would.
Once the VM's running, there are some key settings you should consider tweaking. First, to boost performance, set the RAM to 4GB if you can spare it. You should also go to the Settings window, select the Display option and check the options to enable both 3D and 2D acceleration, if applicable. Then crank up your video memory to at least 128MB of RAM, as shown in Figure 5. For some reason all of my VMs start out at 1MB, which just won't cut it on Windows 8 (or much else with animations, for that matter).
You might also want to go into the Settings window and choose the System option, then the Processor tab. Use at least two CPUs, if you can spare them, as shown in Figure 6.
After changing these settings, I received dramatically better performance from my VMs running Windows 8.
Using VirtualBox is a nice option because it's easy to get going and is completely isolated. You'll get lesser performance than installing on metal (using the first option I mentioned), but it's great option to use with a VM, which has advantages like snapshots and rollback to specific machine states.

Planning for a May 2020 debut of client-side Blazor, Microsoft released preview 3 of Blazor WebAssembly 3.3, which lets developers debug projects from Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code rather than browser-based development tools.
So what happens to productivity when an enterprise shifts its software development to a remote, work-from-home scheme? Having made the switch a few weeks ago, Microsoft mined its internal data to find out.
A radial basis function network (RBF network) is a software system that's similar to a single hidden layer neural network, explains Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research, who uses a full C# code sample and screenshots to show how to train an RBF network classifier.
Visual Studio 2019 for Mac version 8.5 shipped this week, improving ASP.NET Core authentication and unit testing, adding support for Azure Functions 3.0 and more.

Chris Brown Checks Into Rehab For Anger Management.
Chris Brown is taking a timeout from music to focus on some personal issues. A rep for the singer confirmed to E! News that the Grammy Award winning singer has checked himself into a rehabilitation facility to receive anger management care. "His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point," read a statement from Brown's camp. After his release from a Washington DC jail on Monday (October 28), stemming from his arrest for a misdemeanor assault, Brown flew back to Los Angeles to meet with his attorney Mark Geragos.
The singer was dropped off at a rehab facility in Malibu by Geragos. Brown's mother and girlfriend Karrueche Tran were also there for support. There is no word on how long Brown will remain in rehab, but he is due back in a DC court on Nov. 25 to fight the assault charge for the weekend fight outside the W Hotel. He is facing 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted. Lets hope this works.

Pathfinders' mission is to make it possible for people all over the world to make sound career choices that lead to authentic, purposeful, and fulfilling lives.
Pathfinders was created by Anthony A. Spadafore, a career coach, author, and career direction expert, in 1991. Anthony co-developed a ground-breaking "career design" approach and toolkit in response to his fascination with the random way that many fall into ill-suited careers, often without realizing it until well after college or grad school—an undiagnosed wicked problem. Anthony's vision is that colleges will soon take on this challenge and integrate an intentionally guided career design and choice approach into the core purpose of getting a Bachelor's degree.
Anthony is recognized as a leading expert in the application of the emerging science of natural talent variation—that we all have a personal mix or pattern of innate abilities and personality traits that equip us with the potential to become "naturals" at specific career endeavors. Innate propensities operate as a powerful internal navigation compass to help steer our lives and careers toward well-being. Once Anthony's clients uncover their "talent ballpark," a specific range of careers that fit their individual nature, their direction and sense of purpose become clear.
Anthony has 25 years of experience working with more than 3,500 highly educated people from all over the world and is the co-author of Now What?

In the latest post of the "j's Journey" series over at Fear of Writing, j asked the readers a question: What kind of writer do you want to be?
I answered in the comment section there. I would also like to share with you here as well, since Life's a stage is my virtual writing corner.
Someone once emailed me months after my publishing a piece of flash fiction that she was still thinking about said piece. Someone just recently noted I understand the role of my characters so well and wrote so succinctly.
Someone else commented that sometimes the most powerful things are stated with just such simplicity – like in my blog post.
Again someone else said that I write so well, he sometimes forgets that English is only one of my languages.
And again someone else told me how my heart definitely comes through loud and clear in all my writing, creative or otherwise.
I want to be the kind of writer who grows and keeps getting such great feedback – because that's how I know I'm on the right track to becoming the writer I want to be.
How about you, what kind of writer do you want to be?
A few weeks ago, I left behind a pick-me-up love letter in an elevator. I am honored to have it included in the Love Letter Vault, and featured on MoreLoveLetters.
Here it is for everyone's viewing pleasure "For the grey days in Romania…"

How to Handle Stress When Misfortune Occurs
Misfortune catches all of us at some point in time. It can happen to the best of us- no matter what you've done to make your life the best it can be. But, when misfortune does strike, it can bring you down. It may ever bring you down to the lowest you have ever been. Your momentum is halted, your self-confidence is shredded and your mind may spin in circles.
You can't just snap your fingers and keep bad fortune from you and your loved ones. And there is no "magic" pill that you can buy to make all of your worries go away. But you can prepare.
One way to prepare yourself for life stress is to expect the best, prepare for the worst, and know that if hardship hits, you will be able to draw from an inner strength you didn't even know you had. If you prepare for the worst, you are better able to accept the circumstances and are ready to deal with them.
When you come face-to-face with hardships, you need to ask your, "What exactly can I do to create a positive outcome from this negative occurrence? How can this incident work for me in an influential way rather than against me in an unbeneficial way?" By doing this, no only do you increase your inner confidence, but you significantly boost your overall energy. By meeting these challenges face-to-face and making possibilities out of life's obstacles, you are able to move forward in life toward your goals. Plus, you gain strength so that when you face another obstacle down the road, you are able to deal with it successfully.
If you look at hardships in this light, you quickly realize that a calamity is not a barrier but a bridge that takes you on a road to a greater life. When one door closes, another door opens and this is exactly the case with hardships- a new door is opening. Don't shut the door and push everything behind you. Stand up tall, face calamity head-on, and create a positive outcome.

1. Are there a minimum number of counties that need to enroll in the EAP for this program to be offered?
There are no minimum number of counties or employees necessary to provide the program. All counties enrolling in the benefit will be able to utilize the benefit.
2. Is the benefit available to both part-time and full-time employees? Do I have to enroll all of my county's employees or can I just enroll some of them (ex. full-time employees only)?
Yes. The $21 annual rate per employee applies to either full-time or part-time employees. Counties may select which employees they enroll and are not required to enroll all employees. However, IECA would encourage you to provide to benefit equitably to all of your county's employees since this is an inexpensive way to provide a valuable benefit to all employees.
3. What do we do if we add an employee or an employee resigns?
An annual "census" will occur to allow counties to make updates to their enrolled employees. Adding or deleting the number of employees is done at that time. Essentially, a county is paying per position, rather than for the individual him or herself. Therefore, there is no need to notify IECA or Employee & Family Resources of any changes in between the census dates.
4. Can we add employees after the initial enrollment deadline?
Yes, see above. New employees will need to be included in the adjusted count taken at the next census after they are hired.
5. How does the billing work?
Counties will pay IECA $21 per employee per year. IECA will write one check for the total amount annually. Each county which enrolled in the program last year should have received a bill from IECA in early December that is due on February 1.
Counties which did not enroll in EAP last year should contact IECA Executive Director, Terry Maloy, by January 31, 2018 with the number of employees they wish to cover. You will be sent an invoice due on February 15 after we receive your headcount.
If your county needs a duplicate bill, please contact IECA Executive Assistant Julie Baumler.
6. What is the coverage period for the EAP benefits?
The EAP coverage period is from February 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019.

Read Matthew 28.16-20.
How does this passage connect the trinity to Baptism?
Think about the last Baptism you saw. When was it? Who was baptized? Did the officiant name all three persons of the Trinity?
Next read John 1.29-34.
As John the Baptist talks about Jesus. How are the three persons of the Trinity involved in the way John understands the baptism of Jesus? According to John the Baptist, who is Jesus? How might John's words have contributed to our use of a fish as a symbol for Jesus?
The fish is an easy symbol to preach because of its nature as an acrostic. The creed contained in the symbol, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior should ideally be connected to every sermon in some way.
This symbol is rather versatile, but fits nicely any time you celebrate a baptism, Baptism of the Lord Sunday or Epiphany (depending on your tradition), Christ the King Sunday, or any Sunday in ordinary time.
It was used as a means of discreetly identifying fellow believers during the time of persecution. The fish symbol comes from a sort of ancient acrostic for the phrase "Jesus Christ Son of God Savior."
Naturally, in English this spells nothing (JCSOGS?), but in Greek, the phrase is: Iesous Christos Theou Uiou Soter. If you take the first letter of each word (remember, CH and TH are each one letter in Greek) they spell ICHTHUS – the Greek word for fish. Sometimes the Greek letters accompany the symbol, as in the picture on the right.
The fish can also serve as a symbol of baptism. In the ancient world, the baptismal font was often called a "piscina," which is literally a fishpond. The symbol found below is often thought to be a reminder of the Trinitarian formula used in baptism.
The fish has become a widely used representation of Christianity, and can be found on everything from apparel to bumper stickers. Its association to baptism is rarer, but could make the fish an appropriate symbol on or around a font or baptistry.

With the introduction of Steam's new refund policy, I thought that it would be a good idea to test out the system using two games that I had recently bought that simply don't work for me. These two games fit into two separate scenarios based on how likely they would be accepted for a refund.
Just to recap, the two scenarios were as follows:
Scenario 1
Purchase date of "Phantasmal" is outside of Steam's new refund window. Attempting to refund based on the grounds that the game doesn't perform adequately, Steam's refund page states that "Refunds are not normally processed for transactions over 14 days old." I have only played the game for a total of 59 minutes (most of which were spent on menus and settings), so I'm hoping that I have a little bit of leverage there.
I am still allowed to submit the refund request despite only meeting 1 of 2 requirements. I am told that I will be contacted via my registered email address when my refund has finished being considered.
Interesting to note is that, whilst researching how far back the lenient window of return could be, Brutal Legend is completely non-refundable. It was bought back in 2013 but is still under the 2 hour limit. I can't submit a request at all.
Scenario 2
Purchase date of Lego Worlds is well within the 14 day refund window. Refund is based on the fact that, like above, the game performance is sub-par based on the hardware that I'm currently using when compared to other games. I have only played the game for 80 minutes so I should get this refund with no questions asked.
Again, I'm told that the refund needs to be considered by a member of the support team, who will be in contact.
Today I awoke to two emails from Steam support notifying me that both my Lego: Worlds and Phantasmal refunds had been accepted. This is fantastic news! It also demonstrates the leniency and the fairness behind Steam's new policy. Both games have been removed from my library and I will receive the refund direct to my bank within 7 working days.
Based on my experience here and to put it briefly, if you have a game that isn't working and hasn't been played much, you may still be able to submit it for a successful refund. It seems that playtime is a more important factor than the purchase date, as long as you have a valid technical reason for doing so. I don't have the cajones to submit a refund for a game over 14 days old simply because I didn't like it.
Happy gaming guys! It's good to feel as though an online marketplace finally has my back in my time of need.

Are We There Yet?
Family car trips can make any parent want to pull the hair out of his or her head. A group of people confined to a small space for a long period of time, without a bathroom – that's not anyone's definition of fun! Somehow plugging in and tuning out by turning on the DVD player or individual iPods in the car- while keeping the peace, separates the family, instead of bringing them together – not always the best way to kick off a vacation. Besides, they get enough sitting on the leather chairs watching TV at home – this is vacation! So with a little creativity and imagination you can make your next car trip not only less challenging, but actually interactive and fun.
Twenty Questions:
One player thinks of a famous person, place or thing. Everyone asks the player a total of 20 questions, which have to be answered "yes" or "no." For example, "Is it bigger than a car?" is a question you can ask, but you could not ask "How big is it?" The person who correctly guesses (or comes closest) is the winner. The winner is the next person to think up something and the game continues.
One person starts the game by stating some place –any place- in the world; it can be a city, state or country. For example: "Massachusetts". The next person has to think of a place that begins with the last letter of that place, in this case "S" such as "South Carolina." The next person needs to think of a place that starts with an "A", for example "Africa", and so on. The same location cannot be used twice and all places must really exist. When a player is stumped they are no longer in the game. The last remaining player wins.
License Plate Lingo:
This game is a bit of a contest that requires quick thinking. The goal of this game is to come up with a phrase based on the letters of another car's license plate. For example, if you see the plate BME 975, the first person to call out a somewhat logical phrase such as "Best mother ever" earns a point. The key to this game is having someone call out the letters from a car or truck having people think fast! Remember to have someone keep score if you're competitive or just do it for fun!
The Never Ending Story:
Everyone is a winner in this game—it's all about the fun! One person in the car starts story by creating the first line of the story. It can be a "Once upon a time…" or something timelier like "Last week Billy and Joe …" or something totally different on another planet or time zone – be creative! Now, each person in the car adds a line or two to the story and it builds. You can keep this going as long or as short as you want and decide who gets to create the ending. To increase the difficulty and keep this interesting you can add fun rules as the story progresses such as sentences have to rhyme, or every other sentence has to include a color.
So make your next road trip fun and interactive by trying some of these games. Then once you reach your destination they can relax all they want on the comfy sofa and spread out. Perhaps then they'll want to continue to play games because they had so much fun while they were in the car!

If you've have been following my blog along and my social media posts, I rarely promote or write about product reviews as I specifically am focused on writing inspirational entries. But just because I don't do it, does not mean I cannot write about products I am totally raving for.
I love organic products and I'm totally all for going natural when it comes to food we eat or products we use for ourselves. A lot of times I DIY on food and products but there are just those that I can't seem to put the time and effort to make. So for those products that are over and beyond my Mom-DIY capacity, I source them out.
There are a few products that I loved at first use, have been an avid user of for the longest time and there are those that I just use one time and never tried again. I'm not too particular with the aesthetics but I'm that very keen when it comes to quality. The after effects are my make or break when it comes to judging and loving a product. You know how a lot of products are coming out these days and says Organic and Natural but you end up experiencing otherwise? It's scary and I have learned to be vigilant about it by reading through the labels.
So when a good friend of mine launched her own line of Pure and Organic products, my heart skipped a beat! And when I say Pure and Organic, I honestly mean it's definitely true to its promise. Tried and tested! And in experience, there are only two things that make me genuinely love an Organic product.
1. When it's obviously not pretending to be ALL ORGANIC yet you can tell there is a trace of non-natural ingredients in it. For someone who loves organic items, I can actually feel and tell that after a couple of use.
2. When it's husband and baby approved. Or when they don't feel or see anything weird after using it.
Exactly how KATHAROS Natural Products are to us! I can honestly and confidently write about its efficacy and trust their bold declaration of carrying only organic, pure, and natural products, because I know and I have tried it so.
So let me write about each of their product that I have tried and share how lovely it has helped us and even our one year old baby.
1. Soaps – I love all of their soap variants. We use it as a bath soap for adults and for our little girl too. I love it because it does not leave my skin dry that I don't even need to use a lotion after bath because that's how nourishing it is for my skin.
2. Insect Balm – This one is like our family's boo-boo balm. Our go-to ouchie balm for insect bites and even for bruises, rashes, and other skin care ouchies that we have. So much for our quick and go-to balm that whenever our baby gets a bite or an ouchy, she immediately tells us, "Balm, Nanay / Balm, Tatay." Then we sure know she's referring to that Magic Balm we got from Katharos.
3. Eczema Balm – This one we could not stop raving about. It's really the Bomb among their Balms. It has worked very wonderfully for my husband's itchy spot in his scalp that's been an ongoing concern for him. And so I've long been in search for products that would help address the irritating itch and none of what I found (apparently even the famous brands) have solved this concern. Then this Eczema Balm from Katharos came – and it just worked A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-L-Y!
To really tell and validate that it's that effective for my husband, I had to ask him several times and in different occasions if it really did soothe the itch. Knowing him, he's the type who would be quick to tell if a product is not working well for him. But for this one, he consistently gave a big fat YES for all those instances I asked him. He liked it a lot, no wait, he actually love it. So much so that he brings it with him even in the office and religiously remembers to apply it twice a day.
So yeah, my final verdict: if you or someone you know is experiencing Ezcema or skin irritations, I'd highly recommend that you consider Katharos' Eczema Balm. It's really the bomb among their balms!
4. Lip & Face Night Balm – straight out – I'm not too fond of using skin care products or even practicing a skin care routine, although I think I'd really have to start one as aging is really taking its toll on my skin. So one night, even though I'm not a fan of all these face products and routine, I randomly tried this balm on my face.
Of course the result wasn't too quick to recognize but for me the smell is just okay, nothing too extraordinary, it wasn't too sticky as I normally experience with other balms, and it does not leave a very awkward feel in your face.
The best part for me was the next day result. I felt like my skin was overly stretched like I just washed off a mud pack on my face. I love it a lot and will definitely use it again and again!
5. Dreamy Balm & Chesty Balm – these two I don't quite exactly know what's the difference but I figured the Chesty Balm works like a vapor rub while the Dreamy Balm works like sleep balm. Or perhaps can work as a massage balm too.
Both do not come off minty in its feel or too strong in its smell, which tells me it's all natural. But personally, I may have liked it better if it leaves a cooling or minty effect on my skin, specially the chesty balm. I still like them both but not enough to replace my current favorite balm. Nonetheless, I'll still watch out for future versions of these two balms.
6. Mist Spray – I loooooove this mist spray but my husband loves it waaaay better than I do. In fact, he practically uses it for a lot of things – in the car, as a linen spray, as a clothes spray, and plainly whenever he wants a relaxing feel.
What I like best about their Mist Spray is it does not leave a stinging smell in the nose like other air sprays. I've bought a couple of ones before and ended up discarding because the smell is too strong it makes you think of all the harmful chemicals in it.
This one though, you'd have to be spraying from time to time as the smell does not last too long. And I love it that way because it really speaks about its naturalness when it comes to the ingredients used.
To top it all of, what I love best about this brand is that it's bold in declaring their love for God in the bible verses that they posts, not just in their generic label, but in all their product labels. Different verses for each product. For me, it just speaks volume about the product and its creator.
Thanks for staying through this whole product review. My super final verdict: we absolutely love KATHAROS! You have to get your hands on it and try it for yourself. It's highly recommendable! 🙂
Have fun and may we all find the joy and pleasure in transitioning to more environment-friendly, natural and safer products.
Please take time to follow and like:
