7 Myths About IVF That Need To Be Shut Down ASAP
The new season of This Is Us is getting praise for tackling the subject of IVF, as Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Toby (Chris Sullivan) start the process of in-vitro fertilization to try to have a family. The show brings much-needed awareness around the topic, but some critics are suggesting that the show is promoting certain myths about IVF. One of the major plotlines that's resonating with viewers is the suggestion on the show that Kate's weight makes the IVF process difficult, if not impossible, but plenty of other myths about the process abound, and make it harder for people to make an informed choice about the procedure.
The process of IVF is a complicated one. First, the person whose eggs are going to be used for the procedure takes a course of fertility-boosting drugs; then, their eggs are harvested and fertilized with sperm, and then the healthiest resulting embryos are put back into the person's body, in the hope of producing a pregnancy, according to Planned Parenthood. The Center for Disease Control records that in 2016, there were 263,577 assisted fertility cycles across the United States, the vast majority being IVF, resulting in 65,996 live births.
As more people explore IVF as a possibility for starting a family, it's important to clear up myths about how it works, and discuss aspects that aren't as black-and-white as they might appear on screen. Here are seven myths about IVF we need to talk about after watching This Is Us.
1. Your Weight Doesn't Mean IVF Won't Work
On This Is Us, Kate's doctor initially balks at her undergoing IVF because of her weight, before changing her mind and allowing her the procedure at the end of episode 1. So would this happen in real life?
A study in the journal BMC Women's Health in 2015 looked at the IVF procedure and outcomes for 298 IVF cycles for women younger than 38 with a wide range of BMIs (body mass index), though none classified as "underweight." Their body mass index, the scientists showed, had no apparent effect on their IVF cycles, or their pregnancy rates. The eggs retrieved, number of suitable embryos, fertilized eggs and pregnancy rates were essentially the same across all women in the study. But another study in 2018 used a much bigger sample size across the US, involving 51,198 women, and found that the results are a bit more complicated. In that study, women who were labelled overweight or obese were more likely to have low egg levels and low usable embryos.
There are a lot of different factors to consider there, particularly the fact that "obesity" is often an ill-defined term and that other factors affecting fertility, including polycystic ovary syndrome (which Kate also has), have a close relationship with weight as well.
Doctors in Australia are fighting for a change in IVF guidelines that currently recommend clinics don't offer the procedure to women considered obese. To be denied IVF because you're obese, ob-gyn Dr Christine Greves told Health, isn't necessarily fair if doctors would perform the the procedure on women of average weight who had other health issues. "Everything has a risk, a benefit, and an alternative," she said.
2. Freezing Your Eggs Doesn't Make Them Weaker
Chrissy Teigen and husband John Legend have been open about the fact that both their children have been born via IVF — and that their son Miles was born from a frozen embryo from an early IVF round that was thawed and implanted successfully into her body years later. Freezing "leftover" embryos like this is an option for many couples after an IVF cycle, and there's no evidence that it causes the embryos any harm, fertility expert Dr. Caitlin Dunne wrote in the Huffington Post in 2017. "Freezing does not harm the embryos and they do not get freezer burn," she noted. "Almost all healthy embryos will survive the freezing-warming process. Research suggests that babies born from frozen embryos do not have a higher rate of birth defects compared to fresh embryos."
3. Children Produced By IVF Are Not Different From Other Kids
IVF babies have been the subject of many studies to make sure the process is safe, and the results are pretty clear: being conceived through IVF doesn't seem to affect them in any substantial way. "There is some evidence that IVF babies conceived after fresh embryo transfer are born a little smaller than spontaneously conceived babies," Professor Nick Macklon of the London Women's Clinic Group wrote. "At this time, however, these differences do not appear to have significant long-term consequences and many IVF babies are now healthy parents of naturally conceived children." A study in 2017 also found that there's "little effect" on future heath if you're born an IVF baby.
4. You Won't Automatically Have Multiples
It is definitely more likely that you'll have multiple births (twins or triplets, for instance) with IVF than with non-IVF pregnancy, if you decide to get multiple embryos implanted and hope that at least one will "take." However, that isn't a guarantee.
Dr. Victoria Walker of the fertility clinic Institut Marqués told the Evening Standard in 2017, "Only three per cent of natural pregnancies result in the birth of twins. With IVF it can be up to 33 per cent." However, she also pointed out that it's now much more common for fertility clinics to do a single embryo transfer (SET) rather than recommending multiple ones at once. Those can result in twins, but it's far rarer.
5. The Hormone Treatments Don't Guarantee That You'll Be Moody And Unstable
IVF doesn't make you "crazy", but if you're prone to mood swings in response to shifting hormones in your natural menstrual cycle, it can produce feelings of irritability and sadness. The reason? The fertility drugs you're given to boost your egg production impact your estrogen levels. "Low estrogen levels can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety or irritability. Bloating, nausea and breast soreness can also occur," Dr. Caitlin Dunne told the Huffington Post.
6. It Doesn't Raise Your Risk Of Cancer
Two studies, one in 2013 and one in 2016, busted this myth pretty positively: they followed women who'd undergone fertility treatments for any diagnoses of ovarian and breast cancer, and found that IVF provided no apparent rise in risk of developing either. Another study in 2018 of over 250,000 women put it clearly: breast and gynecological cancer risk for women who'd undergone IVF, it said, is "minimal". This is one myth that isn't supported by science at all.
7. It Can't Help You Get Pregnant At Any Time
While Hollywood appears to abound with women who successfully got pregnant over the age of 45 — Halle Berry, Brigitte Neilsen, Janet Jackson — for women over the age of 40, IVF does have a lower success rate.
"Over 40, a woman will have a 50 percent miscarriage rate due to declining egg quality and quantity," women's health expert Dr. Sherry Ross told Bustle earlier in 2018. Women doing IVF over age 44 who use their own eggs, according to a study in the UK, only has a 2 percent success rate. If, however, they use donor eggs or eggs frozen when they were younger, their chances are far better — though still not guaranteed.
IVF is one of the wonders of modern technology, but it has also attracted a lot of misconceptions and myths. If you hear anybody spouting these, check them and give them a dose of the facts instead.

I am coordinating a new digital history project where we'll be digitizing, transcribing, and annotating about 300 primary source documents to tell the story of a large local bank that failed in the early years of the Great Depression. We're coding our documents in XML following TEI guidelines, and are planning to create contextual essays and teacher resources as well.
I'd be very interested to hear about how other history projects are using TEI, incorporating interactive features along with "expert" voices, or using crowdsourcing transcription. I'd also like to learn more about creating digital resources with teachers in mind and how people are tailoring web content for smartphones/tablets, etc.

What is Drug Rehab?
If you or a loved one is suffering from drug addiction, you may be looking for help curing the disease. One of the most well-known methods is drug rehab. However, many people don't realize that "drug rehab" is a broad-encompassing term that represents various treatment methods. The type of drug rehab that you choose could depend on an array of factors.
For instance, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, treating addiction will typically require several components due to the complexity of its nature and treatment will include a variety of pharmacological and behavioral approaches.
The NIH further elaborates that there are more than 14,500 specialized treatment facilities in the United States and that these facilities can provide services including, but not limited to, counseling, medication, case management, and behavioral therapy. This article will give an extensive breakdown of what drug rehab is and the factors to consider when choosing a facility.
How Do I Know if Rehab is for Me?
Unfortunately, many drug addiction cases spiral out of control before the user accepts that it's time to attend a rehabilitation clinic. Looking into an addiction treatment program might be worth considering.
Statistics from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration finds that nearly 23 million Americans need treatment for alcohol or drug abuse, but less than one percent seek out the help they need.
Those who suffer from addiction may find it difficult to determine when they need to enter rehab. Psych Central cites denial as one of the primary roadblocks preventing someone from seeking the help that they need. Consider the following questions listed below. If you answer "yes" to any of them, rehab could potentially be for you:
- Have you ever operated a motor vehicle while high or intoxicated?
- Have your loved ones asked you to stop getting high or intoxicated?
- Has your doctor told you that your addiction is affecting your health severely?
- Do you abuse drugs that are illegal?
- Do you experience withdrawals when you go too long without taking your drug of choice?
- Have you harmed yourself or others while high or intoxicated?
- Have you been fired from a job because of substance-related issues?
- Do you lie about your drug use?
- Have you been fired from a job because of substance-related issues?
- The critical thing to remember when deciding on rehab is that you are not alone. Thousands of trained professionals are available to help you determine if rehab is right for you and, if so, which facility you should enter.
- Many experts strongly recommend that you contact a licensed professional who can provide an assessment of your individualized needs.
The professional who you see should not have a connection with a rehabilitation or treatment center. However, you should try to find someone who specializes in substance abuse problems.
Examples include physicians, licensed psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, mental health counselors, addiction counselors who are licensed or certified, and family therapists.
Why is Drug Rehab Important?
Many people might be hesitant to get help. Entering a drug rehab program is a critical step on the road to recovery. First and foremost, drug rehab is beneficial because it can break a user's addictive cycle. That's because rehab places addicted individuals in a healthy environment that is free of substances. There are also trained staff in place that can hold addicts accountable to their goal of quitting drugs.
Some addicts may require a detoxification cycle before beginning addiction treatment. This is perhaps one of the most significant misconceptions of drug rehab. Many people assume that detoxification is standard practice and is the "only" thing that occurs in a rehabilitation clinic. However, this is not the case. Drug rehab clinics seek to address the root problem to help break the long-term cycle of addiction.
One of the ways drug rehab programs do this is by teaching addicts about their disease. They will not do this until the body is free from drugs since addicts will be in a much clearer mental state at this time.
Learning about addiction allows participants to identify the events, experiences, and habits that trigger their cravings. Awareness can reduce the likelihood of engaging in these activities.
Lastly, drug rehab is important because it affords participants the opportunity to construct new habits. One of the more common characteristics of addicts is poor self-discipline and care. Rehab provides these individuals with the chance not only to set goals but to accomplish them as well. Routinely achieving goals provides addicts with an improved sense of self-worth and resolve.
Types of Drug Rehab
Another common misconception about rehab is that every clinic is the same, or that there is only one type available. However, as you'll see below, there are at least seven types of drug rehab available, ranging in intensity from support groups to inpatient rehab. The option that you choose will have a lot to do with the severity of your addiction, mental state, and other factors.
If you're suffering from addiction or are considering drug rehab for a loved one, we strongly advise that you do extensive research on the various options available. The ability to make an informed decision, and the type of rehab that you choose, could impact the likelihood of success considerably. And remember that it's in your best interest to seek the advice of a trained medical professional.
Inpatient Rehab
According to the Delphi Behavioral Health Group's Addiction Center, the highest level of care comes from Inpatient programs that include medically supervised detoxification and all-day support. The duration of a stay in an inpatient facility can depend significantly on the severity of the addiction. Although the average visit is 30 days, patients can stay longer than 90 days if necessary.
Other factors that determine how long patients stay at these residential treatment centers include any mental health conditions and an individual's prior history with rehab.
Inpatient rehab clinics also seek to assist families and loved ones via counseling and other planned activities. This is useful in allowing patients to help mend fences and reconnect with loved ones they have harmed. Typically, a treatment plan will be designed and implemented for the patient.
Outpatient Rehab
The Addiction Center says that outpatient rehab facilities can be beneficial for those with a mild substance abuse problem who are serious about getting sober. They allow the freedom to continue working and caring for a family while recovering.
The Addiction Center elaborates that outpatient rehab is best for those who wish to stop abusing substances but cannot escape commitments, thereby requiring a flexible schedule. Outpatient rehab facilities will likely require patients to check in at pre-specified times for treatment. Treatment in outpatient rehab facilities can include medication and counseling. Outpatient treatment is a popular choice amongst those with less serious addictions.
Detoxification Rehab
A detoxification rehab program stipulates that before patients can begin healing, they must remove all drugs and toxins from their body. It is much easier to detox from drugs under the care and supervision of trained medical professionals, as opposed to attempting to do it on your own. Medical professionals could provide patients with safe drugs that could help ease withdrawal symptoms.
Detoxification rehab programs could be useful because they do not take nearly as long as inpatient or outpatient programs. Additionally, because a detox rehab program is not nearly as long, it is also not nearly as expensive.
Unfortunately, these programs fail to address the root of addiction in individuals and do not involve much counseling with the family, which could increase the likelihood of relapse.
Hospitalization Rehab
Hospitalization Rehab, often known as a Partial Hospitalization Program, allows addicts to check into a treatment center or hospital for a certain number of hours each week. This is most similar to an outpatient rehab center, in that individuals will return to their home after their treatment program. However, in an outpatient clinic, patients may check in briefly and then leave.
In a hospitalization rehab program, patients will attend sessions that can last up to a few hours a day. This could be best suited for those who have recently completed their inpatient treatment program but do not feel prepared to return to the real world or an outpatient program.
Those who have recently relapsed and are looking for structure and guidance could also benefit from hospitalization rehab.
Intensive Outpatient Rehab
Intensive Outpatient Rehab does not rely on a detoxification program. It does, however, focus on counseling and treatment in a group setting. An intensive outpatient rehab program could require anywhere from 6 to 30 hours of addiction treatment each week.
Patients would be able to go to work, but they are mandated to check in at the facility at the end of the day and again in the morning.
An intensive outpatient rehab program is much more intense than an outpatient rehab program. An IOP will also schedule various classes and workshops throughout the day in which the patient must attend. This type of program could be most beneficial for those who are seeking structure in their lives while recovering from addiction.
Sober Living Homes
A Sober Living Home is otherwise commonly known as a halfway house. These homes can help addicts as they seek to return to daily life without substances. A sober living home is a beneficial environment because other people in the situation are also finding sobriety. These homes could help drive home lessons learned in rehab.
According to the Addiction Center, moving into a sober living home after treatment is often the difference between going back to old habits or continuing on the path of sobriety. Sober living homes are not as rigorous as inpatient facilities. They are often secondary treatments used in conjunction with other programs, as opposed to primary options.
Support Groups
Support groups are the least-intensive type of drug rehab available. The Mental Health Institute states that support groups allow individuals to share experiences and stories with one another, thereby reducing loneliness and isolation. Support groups often prove to be an eye-opening experience, allowing patients to see that there are others in similar situations also fighting to heal.
Support groups are most useful as a long-term drug rehab program in that they can help hold former addicts accountable years after their treatment is complete. Patients find themselves surrounded by like-minded individuals who are in similar situations like the ones with which the patient is struggling. Many find it easier to discuss issues like temptation and family problems with others who understand.
Types of Therapy Methods Used in Rehab
Instead of focusing solely on chemical dependency or detoxification, rehab often takes aim at preventative measures that individuals can implement moving forward to increase their chance of success. Much like there are several types of drug rehab available, there are also various types of therapy methods used.
Group Therapy
Group therapy tends to involve a licensed professional and multiple patients. Although group therapy sessions can occur at inpatient facilities, they are more likely to happen in the other rehabilitation programs. Group therapy sessions can last up to an hour. These sessions tend to be particularly useful because they help confront one of the primary issues of addiction.
Many addicts feel the need to lie about their problems, whether it be to themselves or family members. A group therapy session creates a support mechanism in which patients are encouraged to open up about their issues in a safe setting. Since every member of the group understands that the patient is going through, there is no need for the patient to hide anything or lie.
Individual Therapy
When undergoing individual therapy, patients engage in one-on-one sessions with a professional counselor. These sessions will occur at least once a week, and perhaps more frequently depending on the program in which the individual chooses to enroll. An individual therapy session lasts approximately 45 minutes.
Individual therapy often includes cognitive behavioral therapy. Licensed professionals utilize these techniques in seek of a solution-oriented approach.
The National Association of Cognitive Behavioral Therapists indicates that CBT can be helpful because it treats addiction as a learned behavior. By using CBT, the goal is to re-train the mind and break the addiction.
Family Therapy
According to the Positive Psychology Program, family therapy is designed to address specific issues that affect both the function and health of a given family.
Family therapy is often one of the most challenging parts of a drug rehab program because it forces patients to listen to those who they have hurt most.
However, many experts believe that making amends with loved ones is critical in the healing process and plays a significant role in determining the likelihood of success.
Experiential Therapy
Of the therapy options available, this is undoubtedly one of the more unique. Psychology Today shares that the program is therapeutic, relying on specialized activities such as acting and role-playing. It could also utilize tools such as music, arts and crafts, or guided imagery. The goal is to simulate emotional situations that have occurred in relationships due to addiction.
Rehabs.com likens experiential therapy to an iceberg. They say that while some portions of the ice could be evident from the surface, many of the most critical issues lie below the surface. Experiential therapy helps to chip away at the "giant mass" that exits beneath the surface, helping to expose problems suppressed for years.
What Questions Should I Ask When Looking into Treatment Programs?
If you or a loved one is considering drug rehab or entering a drug rehab center, it's vital that you find the right treatment program for your specific needs. Choosing the correct treatment will increase the likelihood that it will be useful. Furthermore, a rise in the opioid crisis has created an array of knockoff or unethical treatment centers who use deceptive marketing practices to solicit business.
We must again stress the importance of talking with a licensed medical professional when choosing a treatment program. We do not recommend talking to someone affiliated with a treatment program, as they have an interest in recruiting patients to attend their facility.
Instead, ask for impartial expertise from someone who you can trust. Questions that you may want to consider asking include:
- Is the treatment center certified by either The Joint Commission or the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities?
- What are your goals for entering a drug rehab program?
- What is the expected length of the program?
- Does the treatment center use medication to help withdrawal symptoms? If so, what kind?
- What does the treatment program do to promote long-term health and wellness? Do they include a nutritional component?
- How is the family involved in the rehab process and drug treatment plan?
- Do they support a variety of addictions including alcohol abuse, alcohol addiction, and other substance use disorders?
- What does the anticipated recovery process look like?
- Do treatment options differ based on insurance coverage?
- Does the recovery center have good reviews and is the drug rehabilitation tied to evidence-based treatment?
The answers to all those questions will reveal what the best rehab program is for the patient and what type of addiction help they truly need.
Who Suffers From Addiction?
Addiction can happen to anyone. A drug or alcohol addiction can take many forms, and while there are undoubtedly both internal and external forces that can lead to a larger chance of forming an addiction, this disease is completely color blind.
It doesn't matter what you look like or where you come from, addiction can happen to anyone. There are many misconceptions about people who are drug addicts or alcoholics. Our mission is to help you or your loved one find answers and support on what steps you can take to overcome your addiction.
Millions of Americans struggle with this disease and we are here to help you understand how addiction can form and from there guide you to proper treatment and rehab.
Help is out there and it is available to you. There are many treatment options, from inpatient rehab to outpatient counseling and support groups. Just because a problem has developed doesn't mean it has to stay a problem.

A loading screen for a non existent game based on Rain Man
Rain Man was a film released in 1988, starring Dustin Hoffman as "Rain Man" or Raymond, who had some kind of autism, and Tom Cruise as his estranged brother Charlie, who only remembered him as his imaginary childhood friend "Rain Man" after Raymond had been placed in a mental institution. It was based on the true story of Kim Peek (1951-2009), who was autistic and could memorise whole books.
During this film, the character Raymond/Rain Man demonstrated his amazing abilities to memorise lists of facts and figures. His brother Charlie found out about this and was amazed when Raymond was able to tell a waitress her phone number when he found out her name, because he had memorised all, or at least a large part of the local phone directory. It's exactly this kind of ability which is required to program in Commodore BASIC V2 on the C64, unless the programmer just sticks to text based programs.
Kim Peek memorising the contents of another book
According to surveys, about 1-2% of people are autistic. This means that when the Commodore 64 had sold 1,000,000 units it's likely that at least 10,000-20,000 of C64 owners were autistic. The figure was probably higher than this, because once autistic people or their families had heard about the Commodore 64 and all the PEEKs and POKEs required to program it using its built in Commodore BASIC V2, then this would have made it more appealing to them, because they knew they could gain respect by programming it. Of course, their programming needn't have been limited to Commodore BASIC V2. Obviously, once the C64 had sold 2,000,000 units then there were likely to be at least 20,000-40,000 autistic C64 owners, creating a big enough pool of C64 programmers to write plenty of software, so that explains how some people could program lots of graphics and sound in Commodore BASIC V2, while most Commodore 64 owners were limited to coloured text programs, possibly sometimes with a few sprites and monophonic music, because these facilities were easier to program than hires graphics.
I don't know how many PEEKs and POKEs are required in Commodore BASIC V2 on the C64 to do the things that could be done by less than 100 commands on Sinclair Spectrum and Atari 8 bit computers, but the number of memory locations has to be multiplied by at least 16 or even by 256 to account for all the numbers that could be POKEd into those locations. This takes us into a realm of hundreds or thousands of numbers to remember.
As for me, I'm not autistic at all and I prefer to remember words and images rather than numbers, so that explains why I couldn't learn to program graphics or sound using Commodore BASIC V2 on the C64.
An update on the situation of autism and programming has recently been re published by http://www.slashdot.org on the page http://developers.slashdot.org/story/14/07/09/131243/normal-humans-effectively-excluded-from-developing-software , in which a programmer called Johnathan Edwards says "The way things are today if you want to be a programmer you had best be someone like me on the autism spectrum who has spent their entire life mastering vast realms of arcane knowledge — and enjoys it. Normal humans are effectively excluded from developing software".
I think that sums it up. I rest my case!
In the near future you can look forward to some more posts about drawing lines, and some news about extending or replacing Commodore BASIC V2, as well as Microsoft Extended BASIC on the Commodore 64!

Memory is information. Information has sense. Sense is only included in the future. Different senses cause different futures.
The past is one. Futures are many. Every possible branch of the future is defined by the conscious selection of an organism. The conscious selection of the organism is defined by its prediction of the future, and this prediction is the sense of the information.
Hence the past and the future are linked through the prediction of organisms, the sense of information which forms the organism's memory.
An active agent, organism, submerged into the environment possesses information about the environment forming its memory. Since no organism is programmed by a (or the) creator, that information is the only product of the environment allowing us to distinguish the organism from the environment.
To me, the separation between the past and the future, and between the organism and the environment is only a perceptional effect. In reality it is just one entity like one building viewed from different angles.

It is late. I am tired, but I am not ready to sleep. My schedule has been fucked up for the past two days, because I have not managed to get myself out of bed before noon lately. They have not rehearesed my scenes for the past couple of days, so I've had a couple of free days in a row. Life is so easy with a schedule – I feel so aimless without one. Odd, since so much of my life is unscheduled.
I think that part of the problem is that I was planning on having Jeremy with me here in LA for a large chunk of my time here – plans have changed very unexpectedly, much to my disappointment, anger, and frustration. So much of our lives are spent apart – I was looking forward to a reprieve from that pattern here. Oh well, we will be ok. We will hopefully see each other soon enough for a few days, but I miss him terribly anyway.

EU-UK: how tedious
- In the interminably tedious process of separating the EU and the UK, there has been disagreement. The informal leaders' summit in Austria agreed to hold a formal leaders' summit (probably in Austria) in November, in order to do a deal. However, the Northern Ireland border is provoking strong language.
- It seems that when US president Trump threatened an "immediate" response to any Chinese retaliation to US taxes on trade, the US president did not mean that the response would be immediate. There has been no response so far. What the US president actually meant is now a topic of some speculation.
- The Turkish government presents its medium-term economic program today. The Turkish lira has been comparatively stable recently. However, we are no longer in a low rate world (US 10-year Treasuries are still over 3%). Markets will want to see a plan that does not depend on credit.
- UK retail sales are due – the UK consumer seems content to ignore the EU divorce talks. The US Philly Fed survey of business sentiment is a sentiment survey, and as no right-minded person fills in surveys any more this can be downplayed. Praet of the ECB is to speak.

OC Scotch Club was begun in 2011 by Bob Schlotfelt. Since then OCSC has joined the Scotch Club community and met with a consistent core group of dedicated members. Various leader have led the events over the years with the current Events Planner being Brett Perkins. Events are often at locations with a cigar patio as many members enjoy a smoke AFTER the event.
What to expect at a Club event:
• Experienced scotch drinkers.
• Inexperienced scotch drinkers. Every event has a new face.
• A respect for the scotch and the desire to study and appreciate it.
• A lively and enjoyable night. Mix whisky and good friends and this will happen.
• A scotch experience better and far more affordable than a night out drinking at a bar.
• Someone who wants to hear you talk about scotch.
• Someone willing to discuss scotch with you.
• Respected scotch expressions often seen at good whisky shops.
• Many scotch expressions that are new, rare, or obscure.
• At least 1 event per month, at different locations, on different days of the week.
• Non-scotch whiskies, especially from distilleries making scotch-like spirits.
What NOT to expect at Club event:
• A stodgy tasting with a kilted guru and a room full of hushed listeners.
• A Scottish based event. We are a scotch club, not a Scottish club. The kilts and pipes come out on special occasions, like Burns Night.
• A booze-fest. We may have a good time, but we are not a frat party and our members are expected to behave respectfully.
• Bad or boring whisky.
• Events purely for networking. Yes, we are mostly professionals, and friendships often lead to other things. Our primary focus is sharing scotch.
• A formal lesson for beginners. We explain what we are drinking but we won't teach you how to drink it.Feel free to ask questions, however.

By Al3xa. area rugs. At Monday, April 30th 2018, 19:00:00 PM.
WILLIAM HODGINS. Lay Flat! Rug should not take over the room. Wool—not nylon! DONNA LIVINGSTON. Most often, I love to kick start a project with an Antique area rug. I look for area rugs that are high quality hand knotted with both wool and silk.
I thought that a mix of contemporary furniture and a historic carpet would imply the ascent of man and that we are continuing to evolve. Often I use a carpet to pull in all of the color elements of an interior and its adjoining views and gardens to create a harmonious continuum. I prefer a wool/silk blend for its feel and sheen, especially if people are going to roll around or play on it.
I do not know what a standard rug really means. I know of antique rugs that are 8 by 10 and cost $250,000. A good contemporary rug should probably cost $10 to 15,000, unless it is a normal rug in which case $5,000 should do it, I must say that I am not quite sure.

The Bible in Black and White
A black man taught me what it means to be civilized. He said that the meaning of civilization could be communicated in one word: Welcome. The world places conditions on who may be welcomed, and even citizens of the most "civilized" nations welcome some and struggle to tolerate others. But the church is called to welcome all, not because of any system of classification or merit, but "because God has welcomed them" (Rom. 14:1ff; 15:7).
God's welcome transforms the "other" into our neighbor. This is not only true for the "other" who is a stranger to us, but also the "other" who is a family member, a friend—even an enemy. This welcome is not to be confused with tolerating sinful behavior. Rather, it is a matter of trusting that God is at work in every sinner's life, transforming us into all we are meant to be. Whenever we welcome others as our neighbors, we seek to participate with what God is doing in their lives.
The Bible is full of resources for challenging status quos that reinforce divisions based on ethnicity, class and gender. This winter we will celebrate the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 17, and Black History Month in February. As black and white Christians in America reflect on our successes and ongoing struggles together, I would like to offer some examples of how reading the Bible together can help us heal from our divided past and move toward a united future.
The Exodus in black and white
The biblical account of the Exodus can not only offer hope to those in need of deliverance, but also convict the powerful of hardness of heart toward suffering in our midst. Naturally, we all prefer to cast ourselves in the role of the liberated Hebrews rather than the oppressive Egyptians. White evangelical Christians have often attributed our prosperity to God's blessing as a result of our commitment to upholding the Christian values upon which this country was founded.
However, when we read about the Exodus in dialogue with our black brothers and sisters, many of us would find ourselves cast in the role of the oppressive Egyptians rather than the liberated Hebrews. Our prosperity may be attributed to racial privilege rather than God's providence by those who have no nostalgia for our country's early history, in which Africans were valued as property rather than people.
Seeing ourselves as Egyptians in this passage may be unfamiliar and uncomfortable, but the Exodus demonstrates the importance of recognizing our role in others' suffering. Pharaoh's hardness of heart led to further oppression of the Hebrew slaves but also to his own destruction. The first thing we learn about Pharaoh in Exodus is that "he did not know Joseph" (Exod. 1:8). There was a time when Egyptians rejoiced with Hebrews who rejoiced (Gen. 45:16–20) and mourned with Hebrews who mourned (Gen. 50:1–3); there was once a Pharaoh who knew Joseph.
In the history of our own American context, white and black Christians have not known an analogous period of openness and mutuality—but it can still be a possibility for our future. Rather than hardening our hearts toward the history of profound suffering in our midst, white Christians can repent of the ways we have participated in its perpetuation so we can participate with God and neighbor in its transformation.
Pentecost in black and white
One of the greatest challenges the early church faced was overcoming cultural and ethnic divisions. For example, in Galatians 2 Paul rebuked Peter for refusing to fellowship with Gentiles. Although these divisions were present in the early church, the critique and the corrective were also present. The church surely would not exist today if God had not created a way to overcome divisions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free, male and female: "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us" (Eph. 2:11ff.).
Paul may have confronted Peter about his racism, but the Spirit convinced him. The Spirit empowered Peter to proclaim the gospel to people "from every nation under heaven": Parthians, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamians, Judeans, Cappadocians, Asians, Phrygians, Pamphylians, Egyptians, Libyans, Romans, Cretans, Arabs (Acts 2:9–11). The Spirit called Peter to the home of Cornelius—a Roman—to baptize his household, in spite of his distaste for Gentiles. Peter testified that, "God has shown me not to call any person profane or impure" (Acts 10:28).
In Genesis we learn that civilization as we know it was founded in the midst of murderous rivalry between brothers (Cain and Abel). This conflict continued between rival wives and their sons throughout the history of God's chosen people. But unlike the troubled relationship between Sarah and Hagar, Elizabeth and Mary recognize one another as mutual recipients of God's favor.
In spite of their significant differences (Elizabeth was the elderly wife of a priest, but Mary was a teenager betrothed to a carpenter), Elizabeth and Mary were able to embrace one another and anticipate the time when God's favor would be extended to all, according to God's promise. They looked forward to a new kind of kingdom, established by a new "son of Adam, son of God" (Luke 3:38).
The ground at the foot of the cross is level. The cross calls us to engage suffering with hope that does not disappoint, for it is grounded in God's love (Rom. 5:5), not in human claims to power that alienate rather than integrate. Liberation that comes from Christ is just as urgent for the victim as it is for the victimizer, and this liberation is what will finally defeat the power that divides God's creation into these destructive roles.
The mission of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference was first of all "to redeem souls." In the context of the segregated South, one of the outcomes of this mission was civil rights for black Americans. Redemption and transformation does not neglect the kind of political justice the world so desperately needs—indeed, wherever they are practiced faithfully, revolution will inevitably follow—in individual hearts, in families, in nations. In Christ, former strangers can welcome one another as neighbors and work together to transform civilization as we once knew it into the kingdom of God.

Peat moss is a non renewable resource and we need to preserve it. There are alternatives that you can use.
Peat has come to be a very versatile material for use in the garden. However, like so much else that we use in our daily life, peat is a non-renewable resource. We cannot continue to deplete the supply and must, therefore, look for other alternatives.
It is not easy to find one single alternative for peat has many attributes combined into one material. It is moisture retaining, usually free of contaminants such as seeds and toxins, is able to store the water and air and needs nothing doing to it before use. We need, therefore, to look at the various functions currently fulfilled by peat and find suitable alternatives for each.
The main functions for peat are as follows:
* for soil improvement
* as a soil mulch
* for a lawn and dressing
* in mixtures for planting
* for pots for seedlings
For soil improvement, we are looking for a material that will increase the drainage and aeration of heavy soils and help lighter soils to hold water.
Through recycling it is possible and easy to make compost which, for soil improvement is actually better than peat for it helps to add life to the soil which peat, as an inert substance, does not. Recycling can be done with almost anything that was once living. Kitchen waste, grass cuttings, leaves, manure from farm animals and even paper (in small quantities) can be put on to your compost heap. Regularly turned and kept warm and not too wet, all this waste will soon turn into a sweet smelling, soil like substance that is a wonderful conditioner for your garden.
Even collecting up all the autumn leaves and storing them in plastic bags or in a pile of their own can create leaf mould that will serve similar purposes, as a soil improvement medium, as peat.
It is possible to buy commercial products that you can use as peat substitute but, why spend money on such things when it is so easy to make your own, keep waste materials out of landfills and all for free?
Mulch is used to keep soil moist, restrict the growth of weeds, offer some protection in the event of adverse weather and because, for some people, it produces an aesthetic appearance off neatness.
Once again, there are commercially available products for use as mulch but it is easy to find free alternatives.
Many of the materials which you can put into a compost heap can be used for mulching. These include: -
* grass cuttings
* straw or hay that is weathered
* sawdust that has also been well weathered (never use fresh sawdust)
* small twigs and branches that you are able to shred
Just as you would not use peat alone for planting your seeds or transplanting your seedlings, anything you create as a substitute must be a mixture that is suitable for the job it has to do.
Almost any avid gardener will have his or her own formula for seed or potting compost. You can experiment to produce what works for you and this would depend on exactly what it is that you want to achieve. Generally speaking, though, you will use some of your own compost and will be approximately one-third of your mix; the other two-thirds will be made up primarily of loam (fine fibrous soil) and a number of such things as bone meal, seaweed meal etc.
There are a number of things that can be used in your mixes such as:
* leaf mould which is old enough to crumble into small flakes. Do not use the leaves from evergreens
* old tree bark can be used in small quantities if it is broken down into smallish pieces
Once again, it is possible to buy materials that can be added to your mix but the most economical way is to use the things you have made yourself and that are free.
Most people, when planning to plant seeds will buy trays that usually come with a number of pots already in them. These pots will be made of either plastic or, frequently, a peat based material. The latter allows the seedlings to be put straight into the ground without the need for disturbing the ropes as the peat will break down in the soil.
The same result can be achieved at lower cost to the pocket and to the environment by using alternative materials for the pots and making them yourself. The very best alternative material is paper and old newspapers are excellent for this. Simply make strips to the height of the pot required and wrap-around a tube (the inside of the toilet roll is excellent) leaving one to two inches overhanging the tube. Then twist up the overhanging paper to create a flat base. The resulting pot can then be filled with your potting mixture and the seeds planted in the usual way.
These then are some of the ways and some of the materials that can be used and help preserve the ever decreasing peat reserves. With a little ingenuity and thought you can probably come up with other ways and other materials that will help the environment, ease the strain on landfills and reduce the cost of gardening.

Author Roland Merullo has written twenty-two previous books of both fiction and non-fiction. He is best-known for his prior series of road trip novels, Breakfast with Buddha, Lunch with Buddha,and Dinner with Buddha. In these cross-country adventures, Merullo struck just the right chord, finding a balance of intelligence, humor, wit, inspiration, and poignancy.
Merullo recaptures this magic in his latest work, The Delight of Being Ordinary. Whereas the Buddha books featured well-meaning but sometimes-befuddled American Otto Ringling, Ordinary introduces the reader to Paolo dePadova, Italian-born and raised (although his father was an American). Paolo is also cousin to the current Pope (the actual current Pope Francis is featured) and serves as his First Assistant. This story is Paolo's first person account of exactly what happened when his cousin the Pope and the Dalai Lama, who was at the Vatican for an official visit, together requested that Paolo help them to "escape" together on a four-day trip.
Paulo, a bit of a worrier, quickly realizes that he will be unable to make two of the most recognizable men in the world disappear, and so he enlists the help of his estranged wife, Rosa, a successful salon owner. Once the divine duo are safely slipped from the Vatican and appropriately disguised, the adventure begins. Merullo helpfully segments the story for the reader, sectioning it into Days 1 through 5. With new step of the journey, the quartet encounters various eccentrics and oddities, allowing for development amongst the characters.
At some point during Day 4, fans Merullo's Buddha series will begin to notice some things that sound familiar. For those who are not acquainted with the Buddha novels, The Delight of Being Ordinary certainly stands on its own--and yet for me, I admit that I was thrilled with the small extent to which this book read as a sequel. I simply found Delight to be delightful; if Roland Merullo is new to you, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book as a place to start with his work.

Emergency Public Awareness Program
Emergency planning includes YOU.
Planning for an emergency is not restricted to the Township's Emergency Control Group and Council. The most effective way to prepare for an emergency starts with you – either at home, your cottage, or place of business. For example:
- Does your family have an Emergency Survival Kit? Download the EMO Factsheet (pdf).
- Have you considered how children react in an emergency situation? Download the EMO Factsheet for Children (pdf) here.
- The needs and supplies of our seniors may be different than yours. Download the EMO Factsheet for Seniors (pdf).
- Have you thought about your pets in an emergency? Download the EMO Factsheet for Pets (pdf).
Find more information on the Emergency Planning Program here.
Additional factsheets and information are available at www.emergencymanagementontario.ca as well as the Region of Durham website.
The Accessibility Directorate of Ontario, in conjunction with Emergency Management Ontario has prepared a Emergency Preparedness Guide for Persons with Disabilities and/or Special Needs (pdf).
The federal government has also prepared a number of brochures providing self-help advice to address a number of situations, some of which could occur within the Township of Brock. Click on the following links to obtain a downloadable brochure:
- Preparing for the Unexpected (pdf) (large file – 7.0MB)
- Be Prepared Not Scared (pdf) (large file – 4.4MB)
- Floods, Before and After (pdf) (large file 3.8MB
- Severe Storms (pdf) (large file – 3.9MB)
- Winter Power Failures (pdf)
- Winter Driving (pdf)(large file – 6.8MB)
- Be Prepared for the Woods (pdf)(large file – 2.8MB) and
- Earthquakes (pdf) (large file – 4.1MB)
- Disaster Preparedness for Livestock (pdf)
Paper copies of these brochures and factsheets are available at the Municipal Office in Cannington. Displays addressing emergency preparedness are also developed for Emergency Preparedness Week held in May. Further, in conjunction with fire safety programs, our Deputy Fire Chief along with firefighters will attend school functions and receive school groups at the local fire stations in each community.
No one can predict the on-set of an emergency situation within the municipality. However, our best defense against one is to be prepared in the event we are confronted with an emergency situation.

Ashlee Vitz never wanted to become a teacher. But the award-winning French teacher and drama director at Center Grove High School in Greenwood, Ind., is so glad she was wrong.
"I absolutely adore my job," she said. "My students are the joy of my life. I truly feel valued, respected, appreciated by not only my building administrators, but also my corporation-level leaders."
The three-time Sycamore, who is a currently pursing a doctorate, recently received the Technology Titan Award. The award recognizes those who effectively use technology in the classroom and teach colleagues how to do the same.
Vitz, who grew up in Brazil, Ind., recently earned the role of drama director at Center Grove High School. It's a role she is looking forward to because her first degree was in theater. She has been performing since she was 5 years old and has been continually involved in community theaters through acting and directing. During her time at Indiana State, she was involved in the Crossroads Repertory Theater.
"My favorite experiences were taking part in the plays, especially the musicals, while earning my theater degree. I have particularly fond memory of my summer performing with Crossroads Rep," Vitz said. "I surprised myself this past year when I realized how long it's been since that summer. I'd really like to do it again."
Vitz is hoping to move into a leadership role in the school system, so she is working on her fourth degree from Indiana State, this time in K-12 administration.
"When I initially decided to become an administrator, it was because of the financial struggles my family is experiencing," Vitz said. "Now that I am three semesters into the program, though, I have discovered a true passion for wanting to take a larger leadership role within our public school system."
She is hoping through her work and experiences that she can inspire other students to continue their education beyond their first college degree.
"Don't be afraid to explore. The educational experience at ISU is designed for you to be able to take advantage of many kinds of classes. If you are not clicking with one major, don't be afraid to change. After you graduate, don't be afraid to come back. Education should be a lifelong marathon, not just a four-year sprint to a goal line," Vitz said.
"In addition to an educational buffet, try to indulge in life. You will likely never be surrounded by as many different cultures in one location as you are right now. Go to the cultural events, make friends with people who look and sound nothing like you, travel with student groups abroad. You will be better for it, and the world will be a better place because of having you in it."

text: Home » Blog » Doctor Marketing » Neurochemistry and the Art and Science of Storytelling [Series Article] Studies reveal hard science data behind why the sometimes fanciful, sometimes fictional art of storytelling is highly effective as a communications tool. In healthcare marketing, storytelling is growing in popularity from doctor-patient conversations to branding messages.Of all the stories in the world, there's one—The Story of Storytelling—where "Once upon a time…" doesn't quite fit. Stories and storytelling have, as far as we can tell, nearly always been part of mankind and the human existence.From 40,000-year-old cave paintings to the Academy Award celebration of achievements in the film industry. Myths, legends, oral history, books, painting, poetry, conversations, plays, music, online content, lectures…you name it; the human brain is wired to process and understand information in a story-like way. And, for marketing, effective storytelling is, almost by definition, a means to engage an audience.Empathy, Neurochemistry, and the Dramatic ArcIn less than six minutes, Dr. Paul Zak's evocative film (and engaging story) explains how "even the simplest narrative, if it is highly engaging and follows the classic dramatic arc, can evoke powerful empathic responses."
