To design, implement and evaluate a community based intervention program for promoting health and well-being of young people aged 16 – 24 years in four communities in Goa.
Having worked in the area of youth health for several years, conducting research as well as providing services, Sangath developed the Yuva Mitr project with the mission of developing a community based intervention for promoting the health and well-being of young people by integrating various concerns affecting them and maximizing the impact of community resources.
The project is based in four communities in south Goa, two urban communities in the city of Margao, the commercial hub of Goa, and two rural communities that fall under the catchment area of Balli PHC.
Before delivering the intervention, a number of activities were carried out to fine tune the methodology, including consultative meetings at national and state levels, studying other successful programs for youth health in other parts of the country, conducting formative research to explore how the intervention should be delivered, piloting a small component of the intervention and developing the required resource materials.
Based on these activities, we chose to use five intervention strategies which are described below. First, we carried out a Peer Education Program. Peer leaders were chosen both from within educational institutions and in the community. Peers were trained on study skills, career guidance, mental health, reproductive and sexual health, relationships and life skills,and on how to use interactive and participatory teaching methods.
In the rural community, the peers staged street plays on stress, suicide, substance abuse and HIV/AIDS and conducted group sessions for other young people on life skills. In the institutions, the trained peer leaders conducted group sessions on study skills for other youth. In the first year, 103 peer leaders were trained, 256 youth participated in the group sessions and 577 youth witnessed street plays conducted by the trained peer leaders in the rural areas.
In the second year, nearly 500 youth were trained. Our second strategy was to train teachers to support the peer leaders in conducting programs for other students, to address difficulties faced by students in the classrooms and to refer any student needing professional help to specialist services, including those provided by Sangath at our clinical centre in Raia. A resource guide was prepared for the teachers called Teachers Tool Kit.
Third, we prepared an attractive booklet consisting of handouts and distributed these among all the young people in the communities. The booklet contained information on sexual health, mental health, education and careers and life skills. The peers were also given a "Resource Guide for Peer Leaders". Fourth, we raised awareness about youth health problems amongst the local medical fraternity through workshops and individual visits to doctors who were unable to attend.
Finally, we raised awareness about youth health in the larger community by displaying over 100 health promotion posters in various prominent locations in the communities. Another significant feature of the project was the formation of a community advisory board (CAB) in the rural community to help the project team in implementing the interventions. All the members of the board were very active in giving inputs to make the interventions best suited to the local community.
Our efforts to establish a CAB in the urban community, unfortunately, were not successful.

text: 19 Jul 2017 PAW Breed of the month - Poodle 6850 views 3 min to read Loyal and low allergen, poodles make for an elegant and intelligent companion. Pet HealthEar care Share Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin 0 comments Poodles are known for their fierce loyalty to their owners – often picking one person within a family as their 'person', following and protecting them fiercely. Temperament wise, the general rule is the taller the poodle, the calmer the nature (of course all dogs vary depending on their upbringing and genetics.) They're also highly intelligent creatures. Do be warned poodles can become neurotic if overly indulged, and obedience training from an early age can help with this. Poodles come in three sizes – toy, miniature and standard. The smaller varieties; the toy and the miniature, clock in at under 28cm, and 38 cm respectively, while the standard is quite a tall dog -they reach around the same height as the Doberman. Their wool like hair comes in a wide range of colours, across white, black, brown, and apricot. If you're not a fan of grooming, the poodle is probably not for you, they'll need their dense, curly mop cropped on a regular basis or it will tangle and pull on their skin. On the plus side, their woolly hair doesn't shed, making them great for folk with dog hair allergies. For owners with children, take care to teach your children how to interact with toy and miniature varieties, as they are delicate and be injured through rough play. If you've got a standard, be aware that despite their gentle, loyal natures, they are still big, strong dogs and capable of pulling away and running off, so children should not be in charge of them unsupervised when out and about. Health complaints Naturally trim in build, the bigger the poodle, the more exercise they will require to maintain their health and wellbeing. This is also good for their mental health, and for ensuring they socialise well with other dogs and people. Smaller varieties will only need exercising every other day – and this is more for socialisation and mental wellbeing than weight management. A key health issue for all varieties of poodles is ear infection. They tend to have more hair growing in their ears than most breeds, and this interferes with air flow in the ear canal. Their "flap" ear shape also holds in warmth and moisture, and debris – creating the perfect environment for bacteria, yeast and parasites to breed. Poodle owners will need to become very familiar with their dog's ears, checking them frequently for signs of ear infections, and taking them to the vet's for treatment (ear infections will not self-resolve and will require medication.) One of the key ways to prevent – and detect – ear infections, is to ensure your poodle's ear area is kept clean. Their ears should look and smell clean, and be free from wax. Hair loss, redness, shaking their heads frequently or showing signs of pain when you approach them are all signs of ear infections. To clean the ears, use an alcohol and acid free ear cleaner like PAW Gentle Ear Cleaner and some cotton wool balls on a semi-regular basis (and always after swimming.) Ensure the ear canal is kept clean and dry, and avoid excessive ear cleaning (this can irritate the area). If you have your poodle clipped, ensure your groomer is familiar with the warning signs of ear infection, and that they take care when washing this area. Got questions?

On the one hand, the Federal Reserve's monetary-policy decisions are scrutinized by the media and Wall Street with a level of attention befitting an ancient oracle about to make a life-or-death pronouncement. At the same time, politicians and others freely berate the Fed as being clueless, out of touch, or up to no good.
When people both overrate and underestimate the Fed, it might be that something else is driving the perception because, in reality, the Fed is neither as all-powerful as some people seem to think nor as capricious as others accuse it of being. What could account for such dramatically different viewpoints?
Common misconceptions about the Fed
In this case, it could be that certain misconceptions about the Fed exist that allow differing opinions to develop. Nonetheless, it's unfortunate when popular notions are perpetuated if they're incorrect - particularly if they lead people to make poor financial decisions. So here are four points that might help clear up some of the misconceptions people may have about the Federal Reserve Board:
Misconception #1 - The Fed Chair acts alone
First of all, the Federal Reserve is a massive organization with duties that go well beyond setting interest rates, such as, working on financial regulations and managing the money supply. However, the function of setting interest rates is generally what draws the most attention.
It's true that whoever happens to be the Federal Reserve Chairperson tends to be a lightning rod for politicians, investors or commentators who might not like the latest interest-rate decision, but the Fed Chair does not act unilaterally. Interest-rate decisions are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), a committee of several Fed officials that includes the Chair. There are currently ten FOMC members. All of these officials vote on policy decisions so, while the Chair - currently Jerome Powell - has considerable influence, he (or she) does not have the ultimate control over those decisions.
As a noteworthy example of how people tend to overstate the Fed Chair's role, in December of 2018 the Fed made a controversial decision to raise interest rates at a time when the stock market was struggling. There was even a fair amount of speculation about whether the President should fire Powell. However, that December 2018 decision was a unanimous choice by all ten members of the FOMC. It is unlikely that changing the Fed Chair would have changed the overwhelming conclusion of the group.
Misconception #2 - The Fed's job is to keep the party going
Many people see the Fed's actions as appeasing Wall Street, which would generally involve keeping interest rates low - but this is not part of the FOMC's job description. The FOMC's stated objective is to strike a balance between encouraging employment and controlling inflation.
While the Fed was criticized recently for not being sensitive to a weakening stock market, in contrast it was criticized for not doing more to rein in Wall Street speculation after the dot-com bubble collapsed. Beyond some remarks by then-Chair Alan Greenspan about "irrational exuberance," the Fed did nothing to check rising Wall Street speculation. Trying to manage employment and inflation is enough of a challenge; the Fed cannot also be expected to save investors from themselves.
Misconception #3 - The Fed controls most consumer interest rates
When the Fed raises interest rates, you usually see several stories in the media about how consumers are likely to see higher rates on mortgages and other banking products. However, the only rates the Fed controls are very short-term rates at which banks borrow money.
While this may have some influence on consumer rates, the fact is that rates on everything from mortgages to savings accounts often move up and down independently, even when the Fed has not changed its federal-funds-rate target. Consumer rates are influenced by the same things that influence the Fed's rate decisions - job growth and employment. With hundreds of financial institutions making decisions about consumer rates in a competitive market, rates often do not wait for a Fed meeting or interest-rate decision before moving in reaction to economic conditions.
Misconception #4 - The Fed operates within a shroud of mystery
There is a man-behind-the-curtain view of Fed decisions that probably stems from the overdone media mystique about the Fed Chair. But in fact, the Fed tries very hard not to surprise the public because surprises are disruptive to financial markets and business-decision makers.
The Federal Reserve website is full of detailed policy statements, speeches and other materials explaining how the Fed views monetary policy in the context of current economic conditions. The FOMC even releases year-by-year projections of where it thinks its interest rates will go over the next few years. The Fed's forecasts are subject to change as conditions evolve; but to the extent it can foresee where rates are going, the Fed makes every effort to help anyone who is interested look in the right direction.
What really drives the Fed's decisions
The Fed's impact on monetary policy can be greatest at times of financial crisis such as in the Great Recession and its aftermath. Most of the time, though, the Fed is trying to maintain the economy's course rather than steer it in a radically new direction. The Fed's statements and decisions are primarily important for what they say about employment and inflation because those two economic forces drive not just Fed policy but also the financial circumstances of individuals and businesses.
Understanding what really drives Federal Reserve Board decisions can help consumers base their financial decisions on more than public sentiment and media mystique.

The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing a boom, characterised by a high influx of investors who are willing to stake their hard-earned cash into the volatile marketplace in anticipation of earning substantial returns. However, being a never-closing ecosystem, investors are finding it a challenge to leverage the 24-hour trading environment, thanks to the bots which are now automating the buying and selling process of virtual currencies.
Outlined are the key reasons as to why automated trading counts big to investors.
Making every second count maximizes returns
Since the inception of the pioneer cryptocurrency Bitcoin, hundreds of other cryptocurrencies have been launched, and more are still being introduced into the market. Keeping an eye on the top 10 cryptocurrencies, let alone other potential coins that existing among the 1000 plus virtual currencies for a period of 24 hours is beyond the human scope.
Automated trading presents a working solution to this human limitation, automatically scanning and analysing the market round the clock, and only executing trade according to parameters set by an investor. Traders can, therefore, make the most returns out of their investment.
Backtesting before staking
The fact that cryptocurrency bots automate the trading process does not give room for a vague understanding of how the ecosystem operates. An in-depth comprehension of the markets is required in order to maximize returns from an automated trading process. That is why robustly built trading bots such as gunbot don't allow traders to blindly jump into the bandwagon; instead, they offer traders with an opportunity to experiment their various trading strategies and fine-tune them accordingly, before exposing their real money to risk.
Better insights from statistical data hence better trading strategies
The quality of any trading strategy is dependent on the quality and quantity of data collected on relevant past trading activities. Analysing such voluminous data is not only tedious but also impractical. With an automated buying and selling system, investors have ready access to both open source and premium powerful analysis tools that yield reliable insights hence highly informed trading measures. Since accurate analysis and predictions are not cheap to attain as a result of the resources required, premium trading bots have proved useful than their open source counterparts.
Elimination of human bias
As human investors, we can be hesitant to open or close a trade that could have earned us some significant profits as a result of the negative experiences we have suffered during our past trading histories. With an automated trading bot, buying and selling are automatically executed based on the set of instructions provided by a trader. This eliminates panic that leads to human error as well as executes profitable deals if a proper understanding of the market is incorporated.
Speedy execution of orders
Finally, since every second count in the cryptocurrencies markets, it would be difficult for human beings to respond immediately to changing market trends lasting within seconds that could have minted enormous profits. Automated trading processes, being made up of software, can give immediate responses to market shifts, depending on how well they have been developed.

After being stripped naked by federales
for a third time on the way to Tijuana,
after a limp peso slipped from a tear
in Tomas's wet underwear
and he earned the electric kiss
of a taser thrice below the navel,
its triple pronged lips
staining his hips purple and pink,
after running for hours over freeways
dodging the lonely lights of fathers
returning home from their graves,
my countrymen pretend
it is the cold and not the fear
–not the women disappeared
halfway through Guadalajara,
not the coyote's twitch at urgent questions,
not the liquored gleam on the surface
of the officials' M-16s–that makes them
shiver. Cornered by a dumpster
and the wicked blade of the moon,
the huddled men wait for the van
that will hide them between scrap metal
to take them over the border.
This is not an allegory or the sermon
of a self-enamored priest.
My primo really crossed the border
on December 24th, 1989
after surviving more than a decade
of war. On December 25th,
the coyote gifted him his first Whopper
in San Diego and Tia Tere
gifted the coyote another mil quinientos
for his life. The only other gift
my primo received that Christmas
came from the man in the dumpster.
The man leapt out of the receptacle
with a rattling bag of aluminum cans
and scared the living shit
out of my primo and his companions.
The men jumped back and then
laughed like idiots
with their hands in their pockets.
Once the man realized who they were,
he left and returned with a box
of galletas for them to share.
It was all they ate for the day.

February 18, 2020 - Amshir 10, 1736
Departure of St.Isidore of Pelusium
On this day also, the ascetic, scholar and holy man, Anba Isidore of Pelusium (El-Pharma), departed. His parents were among the rich and noble people of Egypt. He was related to Pope Cyril and Pope Theophilus, patriarchs of Alexandria. He was the only child of his parents, who cared about his education. They taught him the books of the church, and the Greek language in which he excelled and surpassed many. He was also ascetic and humble. When he knew that the people of Alexandria and the bishops wanted to make him the Patriarch of Alexandria, he took flight by night to Pelusium and became a monk in a monastery there. Then he went to a small cave where he lived alone for several years. During these years, he wrote many books about emperors and governors. He also commented on many books of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. His epistles that he sent to bishops and patriarchs were counted as eighteen thousand epistles. The gifts of the Holy Spirit poured upon him, and he reached a good old age, then departed to the Lord in peace.

text: halomunkey 425,723 Posted October 30, 2011 @tracer There's not much you can do about it tbh. It's your body's way of getting used to having a dry scalp every time you showered daily. Best way imo would be to buzz cut (or at least cut very short) and that will help the ugly greasy look while your your scalp normalizes again. If you don't want to cut your hair then I would suggest wearing hats a lot and then fabreeze the hat if it smells (kinda lol, but whatever works, right?) When beginning the no-shampoo thing, a lot of people just start out diluting their shampoo/conditioner. Probably your best option. Only thing is it will take longer for your hair to get used to it then going all out will. @comp: truckers are for HK d-bags (no offence if you are from hk...) camp caps, ebbets, even new eras are a much better choice. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll never forget riding a flying horse in VR while pedaling a bicycle and nearly wanting to throw up. That happened years ago when I tried VirZoom, a low-cost stationary bike that worked with fitness games and both mobile and console VR headsets.
VR and fitness biking can be a rough mix. NordicTrack aims to do Virzoom one better with a far fancier machine, the NordicTrack VR Bike, coming this summer. I got to play with it in Las Vegas during CES 2019.
The bike works with HTC's Vive Focus mobile VR headset, playing several VR development software programs games that will sync with the bike's various motion-control features. The VR bike bundle will cost $1,999, which is a lot more expensive than VirZoom. But the NordicTrack VR Bike also has a lot more features than the pretty basic VirZoom ever had. It also comes with a Vive Focus headset (around $599) and a one-year iFit Personal Trainer subscription with workout programs ($396), so the bike only technically costs about $1,000.
Still, that's pretty lofty, and not far from the all-in cost of a Peloton (mid-$2,000s). (Peloton also has a lower-cost subscription fitness app that works on its own, but it's not as integrated a solution as the company's customized bike.)
NordicTrack's VR bike has fans for creating a feeling of motion (and ventilation), and the handlebars double as a movable 8-axis yoke for extra flexibility, and are studded with all the necessary game controller-like buttons and triggers to play. VR development software supports Bluetooth audio, connects to the iFit fitness platform, and has varying levels of resistance when biking. Read more

Martin Bashir
Social conservative-haters in the liberal media are sharpening their knives today as Rick Santorum is set to announce his 2016 presidential ambitions. From his arrival to the Senate in 1995 through his 2012 presidential run the media have attacked the former Pennsylvania Republican Senator as a "terrifying" "theocrat" who wants to impose a "Christian version of Sharia law."
It was no contest really. For the 2014 "Damn Those Conservatives to Hell" DisHonor, the winner hands down was former MSNBCer Martin Bashir, who infamously wished on national television -- if MSNBC can count as that -- that former Gov. Sarah Palin might be subject to someone defecating down her mouth.
Sometimes I think people at MSNBC have Sarah Palin on the brain.
In a Morning Joe segment about Melissa Harris-Perry's apology to the Romney family for mocking their adopted black grandson, and former Governor Mitt Romney's classy acceptance of said apology, host Joe Scarborough for some reason decided to take a totally unprovoked and unnecessary cheap shot at Sarah Palin (video follows with transcript and commentary):
After Martin Bashir lost his MSNBC job for making a vile anatomical suggestion, you might think that others at the "Lean Forward" network would be circumspect about engaging in comparable crudeness.
But that didn't stop John Heilemann on today's Morning Joe. Whereas Bashir's remark focused on the beginning of the alimentary canal, Heilemann's went to its other extremity. Asked how he'd deal with Senator Rand Paul's theory that extending unemployment benefits does the unemployed a disservice, Heilmann said "I'd tell Rand Paul to stick that where it belongs." View the video after the jump.
Is there an anatomical limit to how many times someone can put their foot in their mouth?
Consider the case of CNN's Piers Morgan who on Twitter moments ago actually accused former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin of getting Martin Bashir fired by MSNBC:
When Rush Limbaugh caused a stir with his comments about feminist activist Sandra Fluke, the media were whipped into a frenzy, with the Big Three broadcast networks devoting 32 stories to the row in two weeks' time. Yet there were a grand total of zero stories devoted to former MSNBC host Martin Bashir expressing on his November 15 program that he would like to see someone defecate into the former Alaska governor's mouth.
"It was 100-fold more serious than anything Rush Limbaugh has ever said about anyone in 30 years on his show. Yet [there were] 32 stories, which is a tsunami, on Rush Limbaugh, nothing, crickets about Martin Bashir," Media Research Center founder and president Brent Bozell told Fox News host Megyn Kelly on the December 6 edition of The Kelly File. Bozell added that Bashir was symptomatic of "a real misogyny" at MSNBC against conservative women [WATCH video below page break; LISTEN to MP3 audio here]:
NewsBusters reported earlier today that the three major broadcast networks failed to mention Martin Bashir's resignation from MSNBC after his despicable attack on Sarah Palin. Fox News, on the other hand, gave the resignation the attention it deserved. The incident was discussed on most of Fox's late afternoon and evening programs yesterday, as well as a couple of shows this morning.
Sean Hannity's eponymous program offered the harshest analysis of the situation on Wednesday night, with one panelist slamming the "conga line of disgusting pigs at that network." Hannity himself found a number of appropriate adjectives to put Bashir's comment in its place:
To date, NBC/Comcast has made absolutely no apology to its viewers or to Gov. Sarah Palin for Martin Bashir's vile screed on November 15 suggesting that she should be forced to consume excrement. Even following Bashir's own apology and subsequent resignation, NBC/Comcast's top executives have remained completely silent.
MSNBC President Phil Griffin offered only public support for Bashir, releasing a statement yesterday that said in part, "I understand his decision and I thank him for three great years with MSNBC. Martin is a good man and respected colleague – we wish him only the best." Media Research Center President Brent Bozell reacted:
After Martin Bashir announced his resignation from MSNBC on Wednesday following his vile attack on Sarah Palin, NBC, ABC, and CBS refused to make any mention of his disgraceful exit. The networks had already skipped any mention of his wildy offensive November 15 rant calling for Palin to be urinated and defecated on.
As Media Research Center deputy research director Geoff Dickens reported early Wednesday – just hours before Bashir's resignation – such a media blackout stood in stark contrast to the two-week period after Rush Limbaugh called left-wing activist Sandra Fluke a "slut" in early 2012, prompting 32 network segments lambasting Limbaugh for the comments and even demanding that advertisers pull their sponsorship of his nationally syndicated radio show.
As NewsBusters revealed Wednesday, Martin Bashir has resigned from MSNBC due to vile comments he made in November about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin first reported here.
Palin responded on Thursday's Fox & Friends saying amongst other things, "I just hope that unprovoked attacks like that don't result in people being hesitant to jump in the arena anyway, to get out there and serve the public or, you know, start a business, or really commit themselves to changing within their family, their community, their world, doing whatever that they can, despite the fact that in this world, you are going to be hurt and attacks will come your way" (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary):
As NewsBusters revealed earlier, Martin Bashir has resigned from MSNBC due to vile comments he made in November about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin first reported here.
Moments after the announcement, Baltimore Sun television critic David Zurawik said MSNBC president Phil Griffin is just as responsible as Bashir:
As NewsBusters revealed earlier, Martin Bashir has resigned from MSNBC due to vile comments he made in November about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin first reported here.
Real estate mogul Donald Trump took to Twitter moments ago to offer his opinion in an Instagram video saying, "Martin Bashir, you're a total loser! You're fired!"

Hi there
I've arrived here from the Wet Canvas forums, following a thread I was interested in, regarding damage to the acrylic "gesso" of a canvas, and subsequent oil strikethrough. Many respondents, in their answers, referred to the danger of "oil rotting the canvas", and indeed, searching this forum, found similar references. The problem I have is: I've never seen oil rotting a canvas. I've searched the internet of course, but may just be looking in the wrong places.
I have some student canvases, they are about 25 years old, with paint stains on the side of the stretched canvas. There is no sign of degradation of the weave.
I have also read (I don't have a reference) that oil could be getting the blame from damage bry damp and mold in some cases. Is it possible that the fatty acids in Linseed Oil become effectively neutralized in the polymerization process, or simply locked up in the mass of fillers and pigment, and do little damage to the weave? I'm wondering what the evidence is to support the case for "oil rotting", and if there are photographs?
First it is always a good idea to size. But obviously this is a choice left up to the artist. Directly relating to the earlier query posted here, we have actually been discussing the topic of "oil rotting canvas" recently and truth be told this topic remains one that requires further study. Such concerns can be traced back among artists for hundreds of years. Yet at the same time there are many, many examples of unsized paper (so made with cotton and/or linen fibers) that printmakers used as primary supports for oil-based prints (intaglio, lithography, etc.) that are hundreds of years old and in spectacular condition. HOWEVER there are certainly concerns regarding the chemistry involved with oil as it ages and degrades over time and the adverse affect that it can have on cellulosic fibers.
This excerpt taken from the Chemical Principles of Textile Conservation (pg 117) may be of some interest:
"When applied to a textile without a size, the liquid oil binding medium may penetrate into the fibers and impregnate the textile around the painted pattern. During network formation the oil film may shrink. The staining and shrinkage can damage both the appearance and structure of the underlying fabric; fibers can be damaged by the hardness and deterioration of the oil film. The presence of the peroxide crosslink in the film can result in chain scission of the carbon chains. The peroxide crosslink is a weak one, hence it readily undergoes ruptures caused by environmental heat or light. When the peroxide crosslink breaks the carbon to carbon bond located in the alpha position to the peroxide crosslink may also break. The resulting radicals may quickly undergo oxidation. […] The increasing acidity of the deteriorated oil layer may cause not only further fragmentation of the oil network but also hydrolyic breakdown of fibers, when it is in contact with cellulose, such as unsized paper, canvas, or barkcloth."
As for your image it does not appear to us that the areas designated with arrows are due to staining from the oil medium; however, it can be difficult to make these determinations from photographs alone. For the moment we still recommend applying a quality size and ground to your canvas before applying subsequent layers of oil paint.
Thanks for your reply, it is much appreciated.
"First it is always a good idea to size."
Of course. I'm not trying avoid preparing the surface.
"This excerpt taken from the Chemical Principles of Textile Conservation (pg 117) may be of some interest..."
Yes, it is interesting, but is it the same thing? If the oil in oil paint is surrounded by pigments and fillers, it isn't isolated and exposed to the air. Would this create a different chemical environment?
"As for your image it does not appear to us that the areas designated with arrows are due to staining from the oil medium"
Its paint, not medium, though the paint probably has some medium in it. Maybe there's not enough of it to have an effect... ? In any case if there are any web resources with photos of canvas rotted by oil paints, I would appreciate a link. I feel the jury is still out, I hope there is more to this discussion. Thanks again for your response.
To our knowledge there are no images out there floating around that demonstrate "oil rotting on canvas"...although some of our conservation colleagues that work with archaeological or ancient textiles may have some evidence/information that we are not privy to in the paintings world. But with fabrics of significant age it can be hard to pinpoint one factor and one factor alone that might have accelerated certain degradation processes....this is why we still feel it is a topic that is up for debate when it comes to traditional easel paintings.As for the presence of fillers/pigments you will still have the same chemistry at play. Painting directly on top of an unsized and unprimed canvas will still involve some sinking of the oil medium directly into the overabsorbent canvas beneath. You would also risk creating an underbound paint layer to boot. But as to whether these reactions would happen to the same degree it is hard to say...it likely depends on the pigment-binder ratio and what type of pigments/fillers are present. Hope this is somewhat helpful!
It does help, thank you very much Kristin. By the way, I note that - in my initial post - I inadvertently used the phrase "oil stain" when I should have written "oil paint stain". Apologies for that lack of clarity.

First time trying Pit to Palace Cleaning and I must say I've used many services when we still lived in Austin and was always just satisfied. Since we moved up here we've tried a couple services from Cleburne and one lady from Alvarado who frankly I was scared for my family for her to be in our home and quickly excused her after her asking me to pay for gas for her to come. Then while in burleson my wife was at Starbucks she saw a vehicle with Pit to Palace on the glass and asked the barista to get a card for her so we could call the lady who I only assume was the owner then bought her coffee. Then today was our first service and I'm beyond words thrilled and appreciate the attention to detail and how great our experience using them has been. Top notch work and if your not using these ladies then your missing out. Thank you again ladies ~Josh~

I LOVE Pit to Palace Cleaning. Just one example: I am a full time working mom of two crazy (but seriously cute and amazing) boys and my husband is a business owner so our home reflects the hectic schedule of our everyday life. I left my home one morning when Pit To Palace was going to come and I was mortified; unmade beds, laundry on the couch (clean but not put away, feel me moms?) and a boatload of dishes in the sink. My work day was seriously stressful and I drug my tired butt home with my little loves and walked into a beautiful home that smelled like I was a stay-at-home with an affinity for cleaning and smell-scapes. Thank y'all SO much. You allow me to come home and just 'BE'. I get to tickle my baby boy's belly and play hide and seek because I don't have to worry about my house. That's what you mean to me!! Integrity, above-and-beyond work and my saving grace. Thank y'all SO MUCH!!! ~Erin~
We are very impressed. Excellent work! Thank you for everything. ???? ~ Chris~

Yesterday was a very muggy day for us. We started off the day with
rain and no sun. Which for us was a bummer since we were heading over to Julia's party. So needless to say I did not bring the kids swim suits for the little pirate pool. Of course once we got over to their house the Sun was out and it was beatiful.
Carrie had the kids put their own toppings on the cupcakes which they loved.
Kingston decided he was going to head over to the little pool and go swimming I stopped him once, but the second time he was faster than he. Clothes and all he was soaked from head to foot. Of course he loved it. Thankfully I had some swim diapers in the car for him to wear. Out of his wet clothes and into his swim diaper he went.
Kodi decided not to change into the pair of shorts I had for him, but to stay in his pants. By the end of the party each kid had a balloon and they were playing with them outside. It was a great party and they loved it.
Of course Kingston fell asleep on the way home, and only got a 30 minute nap in for the day. But he was happy to see Grandma and Pa. Grandpa had hurt his back on Friday and is moving pretty slow. Kingston found Pa's hat and was wearing it around until they left for the store and Dr office to have Pa's back checked out.
Aaron has duty this week and is not allowed to leave the building unless for chow, and an hour of exercise. So he has been inside studying and playing on the computer.

According to Bittsanalytics, an analytics platform for cryptos, the sentiment around Ripple (XRP) has shot up in the last few days. Social media sentiment is important because almost everyone in crypto is also on one social media platform or the other. What's interesting is that the sentiment around XRP (XRP) is now higher than that of bitcoin (BTC) yet bitcoin still has some ETF news coming up, possibly within the month. On the basis of this positive sentiment, an investor can deduce several things.
The first one is that Ripple (XRP) has most likely hit the bottom. It is quite noticeable that the price of XRP (XRP) has stabilized, even as the rest of the market gets more volatile. This could mean that XRP (XRP) has already priced in all the bad news that are hanging over it at the moment. As such, from a trader's perspective, XRP (XRP) offers an excellent trade. That's because if the SEC announces that XRP (XRP) is not a security, the upside momentum would be quite significant.
Second, it could mean that the market is slowly waking up the increasing possibility that XRP (XRP) is not a security, with more fundamentals supporting this analogy. Recently, after the Winklevoss ETF debacle, one SEC commissioner came out dissenting to the commission's decision. She said something to the effect that the SEC is not a gatekeeper to innovations. This means that there is an increased awareness amongst regulators that they could be making moves that would ultimately hold back the U.S, from taking advantage of the emerging benefits of blockchain technology. The gatekeeper statement applies quite perfectly to XRP (XRP) which seems to be gaining traction all over the world. It is highly unlikely that after the bitcoin (ETF) disagreements, the SEC would move to rule in a manner that would disrupt the growth of a crypto that has already gained worldwide usage, including in an economy as significant as Japan. Besides, it's a crypto that has a utility function to it, which makes it very different from a security in the traditional sense. As such, the positive sentiment is simply a realization that the odds of XRP (XRP) being declared a security are reducing by the day.
The fact that exchanges are slowly making use of XRP (XRP) as a base currency is probably opening investors to the reality that XRP (XRP) has a huge use-case outside of ripple labs driven partnerships. Most people have only come to associate XRP (XRP) with ripple labs, and peg its value on what ripple is doing. This is pretty much why the market panicked when the whole security issue came up. But with the idea that XRP (XRP) can be a better base currency than bitcoin (XRP) could have brought the excitement back.
Ripple (XRP) without a doubt the crypto to watch in the next few months. It could pull a surprise Bull Run in the near-future, one that could spur more adoption, and see it become a global currency.

A list of Germanic boy's and girl's moniker to consider for a baby's names.
Many people turn to a foreign language to find a name that reflects their heritage, or to find a name that stands out.One great example of a language people like is German.When many people think of German names, they think of names like Adolph, and Brunhilde, but if you look a little harder you'll see there are many more great names to choose from. If you're looking for a classic name to reflect your heritage, or a trendy or unique name to set your offspring apart from the crowd, you're sure to find some great choices among the German language.
It's so hard sometimes to find a perfect boy's name, especially if you want one that is unique; here are some masculine German names that seem perfect for today.
Adler- eagle.Great nature-y and masculine name.
Bailey- able.Short meaning, but the name sounds handsome and unique.
Baldwin- bold friend. Seems fancy, manly, and handsome.
Burke- birch tree.A great boyish, outdoorsy name.
Chay & Clay- man, or mortal.Simple meaning, modern sounding names.
Conrad- brave councilor.A classic manly name, conveys power.
Dieter- people's ruler.Unique, powerful meaning.
Dixon- Richard's son.Would be great for a son of a Richard!Sounds modern and unique.
Elden & Eldon- of old age.Not a great meaning, but both very nice, masculine sounding names.
Fremont- guardian of freedom.Very unique and patriotic.
Hasting- swift one.You could choose it for its meaning and hope for a quick-footed child, but it also sounds intelligent and powerful.
Johann- God's gracious gift.Beautiful and classical name.
Keifer- barrel maker.Not a great meaning, but a handsome name.

text: Hello everyone! My name is Michelle and I am your favorite washed-up baller. I am a recent graduate of American University. Class of 2016 *woot-woot*. I am originally from the great state of Ohio, but I decided to take my talents to Washington, D.C. This blog is my way to share my experiences as a former college basketball player, and share how that experience is currently shaping the journey that I am on. I am usually a very private person, but I think it is finally time for me to share my experiences with the world. I have a great story to tell, and I think it is time for the world to hear it, and I think many people could benefit from hearing it. Ball has always been life, but now it's time for me to share my life after ball. So buckle up and enjoy the ride because it is about to get crazy!

Backstage Secrets from Stars Hollow: The Musical!
Variety provided a video featurette where cast and crew of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life spill more beans on the Stars Hollow musical.
Here are some highlights, first from Sally Struthers (Babette):
It's crazy. It's a musical within a show that has the same name.
Marguerite Derricks (Choreographer for the Revival):
They're doing hoe-down, little minuet. It's one of the wackiest things that I've ever choreographed.
They brought in the brilliant Sutton Foster and Christian Boyle, Borle, Boyle, I can't say his name but he sure looks good.
As a choregrapher, you're putting together ideas and steps and it's really up to the performers to bring it to life and when you have Sutton and Christian bringing your work to life, it's so magical.
Variety also interviewed Jeanine Tesori, composer of the songs for the musical. Tesori got to know the Palladinos through Sutton Foster (star of Bunheads) and then they came on as producers for Tesori's Broadway musical Violet, starring Foster:
And then out of the blue I got a call, and Amy said, "Can I send you some pages? We're doing a musical inside the show," and I thought, "Hell, yeah." She said the first song plays in about a week. It's a quick turnaround. They just started sending me lyrics. They sent me a big long monologue and I said, let me fashion lyrics out of it.
They never worked in the same room, as they were on different coasts:
Even though we're not in the same room, their tone comes across in emails and texts. They're hilarious. They love outrageous ideas. It was really fun and easy — and it's often neither of those things. The way that the musical would go was that Taylor was really trying for it to be great. He's writing what he thinks is a great musical. We started there and just bounced back and forth.
On working with Sutton Foster in this context:
I've been writing for Sutton since she was about 24, 25. I know her voice really well. That's what makes it so quick. I know what her range is. I know what she can do. I've heard her sing hundreds and hundreds of songs. I like writing for specific voices so when I wrote her solo, I didn't have to change keys. I know the timber of her voice. She's got a big, big range so she's really fun to write for. So is Christian. He sight sings. He was already making really funny choices as soon as he learned it. Not everybody can do that.
Tesori then joked about what's next for her:
I think 'Gilmore Girls: The Stage Musical' is next. (Laughs.) That's what I'm hoping. Fingers crossed.
Can you imagine it? The lights go up, Lorelei enters Luke's Diner and sings about wanting "More, More, More" coffee, with Kirk ready on his stool for his solo and dance break.

With medium depth peels, you may experience slight flaking to peeling of the skin for 3-7 days after treatment. If you do not experience flaking or peeling, this does not mean the peel was ineffective. The ingredients and delivery agents still worked. Please know that flaking or peeling of the skin is only a side effect of a peel.
If you have never received a peel or resurfacing treatment before or do not follow a good home care regimen, you will be more susceptible to seeing visual exfoliation, whereas someone who has regular treatments and has a professional home care regimen, will have healthier skin and not as much visual exfoliation.

Terrorist act according to at least four crucial elements. Learn what defines terror. Tips for defending against attack.
Although it has not been possible yet to create a universally acceptable definition of terrorism, it is both possible and necessary to specify certain features common to the phenomenon. This in turn makes it feasible to create an operational definition of this term. Acts with all of these attributes could then be identified as terrorist acts with some consistency. Without falling into the political quagmire of attempting to label individuals or groups as "terrorist," certain types of actions could be identified as terrorism, regardless of who commits them, for however noble a cause.
Let us consider a loose definition of contemporary terrorism. It must necessarily be loose, because its elements tend to form a wide variety of compounds that today fall within the rubric of terrorism. For the purposes of this investigation, terrorism will be defined as a syntheses of war and theatre, a dramatization of the most proscribed kind of violence- that which is perpetrated on innocent victims played before an audience in the hope of creating a mood of fear for political purposes.
This description of terrorism has a number of crucial components. Terrorism, by this definition, involves an action of violence, an audience, the creation of a mood of fear, innocent victims, and political motives or goals. Each of these elements deserves some clarification for us to formulate a clear set of parameters for this frequently misunderstood and misused term.
First, it is important to note that terrorism is fundamentally a violent act. Sit-ins, picket lines, walkouts, and other similar forms of protest, no matter how disruptive, are not terrorist acts. Violence- the threat of violence in which the capacity and the willingness to commit violence are displayed- is endemic to terrorists. The violence doesn't necessarily have to be fully perpetrated- that is, the bomb need not be detonated or all of the passengers aboard an airliner killed- for it to be considered a terrorist act. But the capacity and the willingness to commit a violent act must be present.
The creation of this mood of intense anxiety seems to be specifically linked to the nature of the victim of terrorist acts. Terrorism is distinguished from guerilla warfare by deliberate attacks on innocent persons and the separation of its victims from the ultimate goal. This is the "playing to an audience" aspect of a terrorist act. Terrorism can also be distinguished from legal acts of warfare and ordinary crimes of murder. The difference between a terrorist act and a similar crime or war activity is that terrorist acts are perpetrated deliberately on innocent third parties in an effort to coerce the opposing party of persons into some desired political course of action. Victims are thus chosen not primarily because of their personal guilt (in terms of membership in an opposing military or governmental group) but because their deaths or injuries will so shock the opposition that concession can be forced to prevent a recurrence of the incident or will focus attention of a particular political cause. Terrorist acts, in other words, are constructed to "make war" deliberately on innocent persons.
Terrorism, then, is an act of violence, perpetrated on an innocent person to evoke fear in an audience. One further component, however, is necessary to this definition otherwise, such a definition could be reasonably applied to actions taken by professional sportsmen on the playing field!
The addition of a "political purpose" to the concept of terrorism continues to create enormous legal problems. Terrorist acts are committed because the terrorist group usually wants a change to occur in certain governments.
