The Mississippi Delta—A physiographic feature that breaks into the general pattern of the Gulf Coastal Plain is the lower alluvial valley of the Mississippi River, called the Delta locally and in forestry literature. It interrupts the prevailing east-west orientation of the Coastal Plain with a north-south strip of alluvial soils bearing distinctive bottomland hardwood forests.
Pioneering settlers seemed to have had an understanding of world geography, especially the similarity of the lower Mississippi Valley to the mouth of the rich Nile River of Egypt. Cairo, IL;
Memphis, TN; and Alexandria, LA, remind one of the cities by the same names not far from where the Nile pours its silt-laden waters into the Mediterranean Sea. The influence upon the land of the Nile and Mississippi rivers is not dissimilar.
The Mississippi, an aggrading river, built up this alluvial plain more than 500 miles long and 25 to 125 miles wide in the large structural trough between the Appalachian and the Ozark mountains. Because of modification by silt deposition, the average valley gradient is less than 8 inches per mile; land sometimes slopes downward away from the river to lower-elevation basins within the flood plain. These flood basins range in size from a few hundred acres to major regions embracing numerous subbasins, such as those drained by the Yazoo River in Mississippi, the St. Francis and Black rivers in Arkansas, and the Tensas and Atchafalaya rivers in Louisiana. Except between Memphis and Vicksburg, the Mississippi River channel currently lies near the eastern margin of the flood plain at the foot of the Bluff Hills, which rise immediately to the east of the Delta. Over the centuries, the River has meandered throughout the plain, producing a landscape of old terraces that represent stages of valley fill. Many low ridges, and cutoff meanders forming oxbow lakes, mark the location of old natural levees along the stream channel.9
Average annual precipitation ranges from about 45 inches in the north to 60 inches in the Delta's south. However, dry periods have little effect on the growth of forests in the Delta's poorly drained soils.
Alluvial silts, often originating in the mountains a thousand miles or more from their present locale, fill the streams and overflow the rivers of both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The Mississippi provides a classic example. While continuing to build, its delta got its start from glacial silt eroded from northern precincts and deposited during the Pleistocene Period of geologic history. These soils are especially important in the Great Mississippi Delta, extending from southern Illinois to the Gulf shore below New Orleans. The fine particles making up this sediment may have traveled
Figure 1.15 Post oaks of the so-called tension zone in Texas and Oklahoma. The relatively pure stands lie just west of the pine-hardwood forests. Rainfall too low to sustain pine seedlings through a second year precludes their establishment. As a rule of thumb, two consecutive years of adequate summer and early autumn rainfall assures a new stand of loblolly and/or shortleaf pines, provided a seed source is available and the site has been prepared by fire or disturbance.

from what is now the glaciated Allegheny Mountains via the river of the same name in northwestern Pennsylvania to the Ohio River, moving with its flow to the Mississippi at Cairo, Illinois, and thence southward.
Other silts and clays have been transported to the Mississippi from as far away as the upper reaches of the Southern Appalachians, above 5000 feet, just to the west of the summit of the subcontinental divide in Tennessee. First through trickling springs, then infant streams, and then cascading down creeks to the Little Tennessee River, these suspended sediments move. Then they flow with the current to the Tennessee River, from there to race from corner to corner through northern Alabama, turning north at the Mississippi line and pushing through Tennessee and Kentucky. That water and its silts, along with the flow of the Cumberland River that drains the mid-section of the Appalachians from West Virginia and Tennessee, then funnel into the Ohio River. A hundred miles of river course and the Ohio joins the Mighty Mississippi.
Some sediments, too, have come from the east slope of the Continental Divide, high in the Rocky Mountains. They move, via the Arkansas and Missouri rivers and the tributaries that feed them, into the "Father of Waters" en route to the Gulf of Mexico.
Not all of these materials are consigned to salt the sea as the Mississippi empties its sediment loads into the Gulf. Historically, in times of flood and overflows, for 50 or more miles from the main channel, the water-carrying sediments become trapped when the River's high water recedes behind both natural and man-made levees. These soil grains reach the delta in suspension, as sugar is held in a supersaturated glass of tea, and not in solution as salt dissolves in a bowl of hot soup. While flood waters recede, moisture moves to the air by evaporation or percolates by gravity through the ground below, in both cases leaving behind particles of silt and clay.
Little of the sands dislodged by the erosive forces that sent the silt and clay downstream travel as far as the delta. Each sand grain is relatively large and heavy. Because it is not in suspension, its movement is by water force. After the raindrops' impact that releases sand sediments either from a river's bank, high above and far away, or a river's nearby thrust, sand particles are pushed to the side of the channel to build new land. On this new land, cottonwood and willow trees promptly seed in to hold the soil in place. The suspended finer materials rush on below, either to precipitate in the river's overflow or to build a new strata of sediment along the coast beneath the sea.
The soils of this alluvial plain are well supplied with nutrients other than nitrogen. Texture varies with the velocity of the flood waters by which the soils were deposited. The coarser materials, those fine sands and sandy loams that have reached the delta, are found on natural levees adjacent to present or former river channels where flood waters flow most rapidly. Progressively, the coarser sediments tend to drop out as flood waters spread from the main channel, leaving little but clay to be deposited in the black backwater swamps. Differences in aeration due to these texture gradients and to variability in surface drainage have marked effects on soil productiveness for forest tree growth. Soil patterns may be extremely complicated in areas where remnants of natural levees from old meanders are unrelated to the present channel.
Artificial levees and other engineering protection works have greatly reduced flooding in much of the Mississippi River's delta. Few major overflows of the main river have occurred since 1927, the latest occurring in 1993. This protection and, with it, improved local drainage have lowered water tables and encouraged widespread land clearing for agriculture. With less area available for forestry in protected basins, there is increased silvical interest in the unprotected lands, called
battures, that lie between the levees and the river channel. Light-textured and fertile, these sites, like new land, often support excellent stands of cottonwood and willow.
Forest types of the Delta are related to the elevation of the land; slight differences cause significant changes in species composition. Flats, fronts, new land, ridges, swales, and swamps are often characterized by certain tree groups. About 70 species of commercial importance occur, usually in mixed stands. Along a river front are eastern cottonwood and willow, while farther back, pure stands of sweetgum, water oak, white oak, or ash may be found. Mixed stands on the ridges—slight rises of a few inches to a few feet above a surrounding flat—may be predominantly of white, red, and water oaks, hickories, sweetgum, baldcypress, blackgum, and water tupelo.
Fire, tornado, logging, agriculture, flooding, sedimentation, and erosion have each played a role in determining the present mixture of species and age classes, ranging from seedlings to mature trees. Many species intolerant of shade become established in the openings; others develop in the understories of older stands. Generally, seedbeds must be moist, but not flooded, and for many species like the willow and cottonwood that seed-in on new land recently built up alongside a river during a flood, the mineral soil must be exposed.
Bluff Hills—Formed from the wind-blown silts of the Mississippi Delta, the Bluff Hills lie east of the river in the states of Mississippi and Tennessee. The bluffs stand 125 to 250 feet above the river flood plain. While the wind-deposited loess thins rapidly eastward, brown loam soils indicate the presence of aeolian deposits as far as 100 miles east of the western edge of the bluffs.
Exposed loess rapidly erodes. Yet these sites are among the most fertile in the South. They were cleared before 1860 for agriculture, but by 1930 erosion was so severe that cultivation was hopeless. In 1906, the agriculturist E.W. Hilgard noted that both industrial communities and agrarian

lands had washed down the hills.10 Annual losses of over 100 tons per acre from cultivated land were not unusual. Here, the old southern term "gullywasher" expresses a tragic truth as it describes intense summer thunderstorms common to the area.
Travelers crossing the Mississippi River from the west at Vicksburg have an excellent view of a classical loessal bluff. Here, 100 feet above the water, Confederate troops watched the adversary on the river, readily fired upon his battle boats, and for almost 3 months stayed the federal offensive. The river has changed its course since 1863, moving slightly west, thus hiding the proximity of the guns mounted on the Bluff Hills from the vessels in the channel below.
The Mississippi had changed its course often before those eventful days, creating new alluvium and leaving the old strata to dry out and seed-in to trees. Unknown are the frequencies during the Pleistocene Period of the powerful dust blows that moved the soft silt from the dry bottomlands lying to the west. Mounded in hills, horizon upon horizon, winds gently deposited nutrient-rich sediments.11 Sediments still blow into the Bluff Hills from plowed fields of eastern Arkansas and Louisiana. These deposits of yellowish-brown silt differ little from that of the buff-colored prairies of Iowa and the plains of Nebraska.
Bogs—We turn now to the peat and muck in the bog sites along both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Often these organic soils are met by sand dunes at one extreme, and by marshes at the other. The sands are usually coarse, largely coming from the mountain-forming granites and associated bedrock materials. The sands of quartz, the fourth-hardest natural mineral (after diamond, corundum, and topaz) were released in some past geologic millennia from granite rocks, also containing feldspar and mica. In contrast to the silicon dioxide quartz (like flint and sandstone), the feldspar and mica are relatively soft. These minerals are thus more readily decomposed and dissolved, their nutrient elements rather promptly released for plant growth. (The slowly soluble silicaceous mineral is not essential for plant growth.) The abundance of sand at the edge and in the bottom of the sea is related to the mineral's insolubility. It is released from the rocks of the land when the rocks are fractured by freezing and thawing and by water and acidic solution of other more-soluble components of the earth's mantle. Conversely, the sea is saline because of the solubility of the mineral-containing salts in the softer materials of the earth's rocky crust.
The marshes have an abundance of these salts, storing them for a season in the grasses and herbaceous plants that grow in savannas along the coasts from New Jersey to Texas. Like all of the sediments of the Coastal Plain except for the Bluffs, the saline soils of these wet sites are water-laid deposits. The rock beneath these soils, often at depths of hundreds of feet, has had little to do with the genesis of the soils in which trees and lesser plants grow. (In contrast, soils in areas above the Coastal Plain, as in the Piedmont and the several mountain ranges, have been formed in place. Such in situ development depends upon the weather, the action of plants and animals, and the nature of the parent material and time.)
Under poorly drained conditions at low elevations, groundwater podzols occur. These tend to show an organic-rich layer at the surface. Underlying that strata is a thick organic and iron-rich hardpan mottled with an array of yellow and brown colors that suggest hydration in times past. Bog sites are common from the Atlantic white-cedar swamps of New Jersey to the pocosins of pond pine in the Carolinas.
Flatwoods—The term flatwoods is applied to a number of extensive areas of low relief within the Coastal Plain, usually limited to pine and pine-hardwood sites. Such areas occur on the lower terraces along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. They also are found in interior belts where clays or other fine sediments result in the development of flat topography.
The coastal flatwoods, mostly at elevations below 25 feet, are poorly drained but not permanently inundated. Although soils are usually sandy, root development is often limited by high water tables or hardpans that underlie the surface horizon. Loblolly pine and numerous hardwoods are supported by these sites throughout the region. Pond pine and Atlantic white-cedar are common along the Atlantic coast, longleaf pine may be present south of Virginia, and slash pine east of the Mississippi River. The Big Thicket area, inland from the southeast Texas coast, is generally similar to the coastal flatwoods, though site quality may be higher due to lower, more favorable permanent water tables.
Interior flatwoods soils are typically fine-textured, with moderate to poor internal drainage, though often permeable for tree roots to depths of six feet or more. Plant nutrients are usually adequate, enabling good growth of a variety of species, including loblolly pine. These belts also support shortleaf pine and many hardwoods, notably red and post oaks.
Extending from central Alabama into northeastern Mississippi and terminating near the Tennessee line is another kind of flatwoods, a 6- to 12-mile-wide soil and physiographic region. At an elevation of only 200 to 300 feet, a smooth surface has developed on an outcrop of cold, gray, stiff, poorly drained clay. When wet, the soil is sticky; when dry, hard and cracked. The cracks in dry weather and the crayfish holes in wet weather enable conduction of oxygen to lower horizons. Locally this soil is called "crawfish gumbo."
Post Oak Belt—The Post Oak Belt of Texas and Oklahoma, from 50 to 100 miles wide, forms a fire-maintained transition between the pine and oak-pine types to the east and the tall-grass prairies (now mostly farmed or ranched) to the west. Stands of trees, dominated by post and blackjack oaks, may include several other oaks and hickories. Except in the most favorable sites, tree growth is slow and form is poor. Stand density declines from east to west, the border with the prairie often being a dry savanna. Rainfall diminishes about 1 inch for each 25 miles, from east to west, averaging about 30 inches for the Belt. Bluestems and prairie bunch grasses along with a rich variety of flowering annuals and perennials appear as understory plants. Generally, trees occur on the more broken terrain where soils are sandy, while flatter areas with clay soils originally covered with grass are now farmed or in pasture. Relict loblolly pine stands near the western edge of the Post Oak Belt, the results of studies with drought-hardy pine seedlings, and measurements showing adequate growth on more than 200 loblolly pine plantations within the Belt suggest that conversion to the more-valuable conifer may be an economically feasible option. But such may further diminish this endangered ecosystem.
The "Lost Pines"—Found in three "islands" totaling about 40,000 acres in the vicinity of Bastrop, TX, are loblolly pines. They occur about 75 miles west of the western edge of the East Texas pineries. Between these two coniferous forests lies the finger of post oaks here referred to.
Some consider the Bastrop pines as the nail of another finger, this one pointing southwestward from the pine-hardwood forest at the Oklahoma border. All along the finger, pines once grew with the post oaks. One now sees an occasional remnant pine tree along the roads that traverse the area. Except in the Bastrop vicinity, the conifers were harvested and the lands farmed and grazed. When abandoned by agriculture, a pine seed source was lacking, so too was adequate moisture for stand establishment which, under natural conditions, occurs infrequently. If once in a century the weather and seedfall collaborated, a new forest would develop. What of the Lost Pines at the fingernail? Those trees too were cut to supply wood for pioneer "peckerwood" mills in the 1800s, but the poor, rock-strewn soil precluded conversion of the land to other uses. The finger's nail is now an island of naturally regenerated pines in a sea of post oaks.
Swamps—Swamps occupy large areas of the Coastal Plain. Although coastal saltwater marshes and some adjacent swamplands such as the Everglades of southern Florida are essentially treeless, most inland swamps are timbered. These include the extensive Big Cypress in Florida, the Okefenokee in Florida and Georgia, and the Dismal in North Carolina and Virginia. Baldcypress occurs in nearly all deep swamps. Other species, with varying tolerance for inundation, include pond pine, blackgum, water tupelo, Atlantic white-cedar, green ash, sweetbay, and magnolia. Specially recognized types of swamps include the sharply defined elliptical depressions known as bays and pocosins. Most common on upper terraces in the Carolinas, bays vary from slightly wet depressions to deep swamps or lakes. Pocosins, waterlogged areas in lower terraces, however, range up to several thousand acres in extent. In them, soils to six-foot depths are black muck or brown peat, usually supporting stands of pond pine or Atlantic white-cedar. Prior to the 1980s' concern for maintaining wetlands, many pond pine sites had been converted by elaborate drainage systems to faster-growing and economically more valuable loblolly pine.
Certain waterlogged soils, usually adjacent to swamps, may support grassland vegetation. Such sites, called savannas in the Southeast and prairies west of the Mississippi River, become pine sites if local surface drainage is provided.
Areas of slow, subterranean drainage contain peat formed from hydrophytes. Better-drained areas have a more finely divided peat or muck formed from woody-plant residues, while thick beds of acid sandy loam produce half-bogs of organic surface soil and mineral subsoil. The low pH, less than 4.5, limits nutrient availability. Sometimes these swamps smell very unpleasant, the pH being so low (less than 3) and the soil so sour.
Baldcypress is found in swamps where water is too deep for competitive species. It occurs in pure, dense, even-aged stands. Where single stems are found mixed with hardwood forests, a change in the physiography of the site during the life of the stand has probably occurred. Perhaps man or nature has diked or drained the land or plowed the soil.
Florida Peninsula—Southward from southern Georgia lies an extensive flat-topped plateau rising abruptly from the sea floor. In the northern part of the exposed section of the zone, the land is a central upland that reaches elevations of about 300 feet and contains broad flats, hills, swamps, and many lakes. Underneath the sandy surface soil lie soluble calcareous materials on which has developed a surface of modified karst, with its limestone sinks and caverns. Terraced marine lowlands, normally less than 100 feet in elevation and containing old and new beach ridges with intervening swales, occur on either side of the central upland. These marine terraces, broader on the Atlantic than on the Gulf side, account for most of the surface area of peninsular Florida.
South of the latitude of Tampa Bay, the peninsula is a broad plain with an average elevation of less than 20 feet. Here, the surface is an almost flat marl and limestone shelf, generally overlain with a thin layer of peat and muck and a little sand. Swamps cover perhaps 80 to 85% of the surface—or did before lands were drained. The low, swampy surface is relieved by a rather continuous strip of slightly higher sandy land parallel to the east coast and a highly fragmented counterpart along the west coast. Pines cover the higher parts of these low ridges. Pure stands of short-lived and serotinous sand pine cover extensive areas near the center of the peninsula, while slash pine and its South Florida variety otherwise compose the principal forest type. Extensive forests of the peninsula are called the Big Scrub.
The Florida peninsula continues southward as a broad submerged ridge or bank surmounted by non-forested islands, called keys, composed entirely of calcareous materials ranging from solidified coral to clay-size particles. Maximum elevation in the southern extremity is about 15 feet. The everglades are lower.

A wonderful treat for your partner is a slow and sensuous massage, which not only helps to remove stress but is also a great way to get closer to your loved one…
Massage is an ancient form of therapy that is enjoyable to perform and relaxing to receive. Use pure essential oils for massaging as they are known for their aphrodisiac qualities, working both through aroma and by the effect they have once they penetrate the skin.
Preparation for massage
Find somewhere quiet, warm and comfortable. This could be the bedroom or a rug in the living room or outdoors. In cold weather turning the heating up will make it easier to get started.
The place should be well‐lit but not too bright. Using several candles and tea‐lights is ideal for creating a soft, romantic setting.
Put on your favourite romantic CD on a loop or a long playlist of your choice of soothing instrumental music. Switch off any distractions such as phones and mobiles.
Spread a large towel or a clean flat sheet kept aside just for massage. Fabric with natural fibre such as cotton is ideal as it feels comfortable next to bare skin and is easier to wash on high temperature settings.
You can buy ready mixed massage oils that are designed according to what you need: relaxing, invigorating or sensuous.
To mix your own distinctive blend you will need a few tablespoons of base oil such as almond, apricot kernel or sunflower. Add to this some drops of essential oils of your choice. The ones known for their aphrodisiac qualities are rose, jasmine, neroli, patchouli, sandalwood and ylang ylang. Experiment with either just one oil at a time or try to combine 2 or 3 different oils to find your perfect blend. If you want to mix and keep for multiple sessions, you could try the following:
Massage oil recipe
50ml of base oil (almond, apricot kernel or sunflower)
10 drops of Ylang Ylang
8 drops of Rose
4 drops of Jasmine
Mix in a glass jar and keep the top sealed tight to prevent the blend from losing its essence.
How to massage
- Make sure your partner is relaxed and comfortable.
- Wash your hands and ensure that they are warm by rubbing them together.
- Get your mind into a calm, confident and loving state, as what you are feeling will be communicated to your partner through your hands.
- Stage 1: Getting relaxed
Start by lightly stroking the body using just your finger tips. Take your time and cover all parts of the body covering the shoulders, arms, back, buttocks, thighs, calves and feet.
- Stage 2: Sensual massaging
As you feel your partner relaxing, pour some massage oil into your hands and rub together to warm the oil. Using a rhythmic movement of the whole hand, use long gliding strokes while applying light pressure. When working up the back, put both your hands side by side, with the thumbs passing over the spine. Then part the hands to move over the shoulders and even more lightly down the sides of the back. Cover every part of the body. At this point your focus should be on awakening every nerve in the body, rather than focusing on just one or two areas (which will come later!).
- Stage 3: Kneading
Whether you move on to this form of massage is optional. It is useful for relieving aching or tense muscles – if your partner's had a particularly rough day, this is a great way to 'let go' of stresses. It is done using the whole hand, using a light squeezing and rolling movement. The hands can then slide across the surface of the same area. It is best to be gentle, flowing and sensitive in your movements.
Massage tips
- Remember that your hands should be neither tense nor floppy, but firm and flexible, adapting to the contours of your partner's body.
- Keep both your hands in contact with your partner at all times.
- Use the weight of your body for gliding strokes rather than your arm strength.
- Work on the back first and then ask your partner to turn around so you can massage the front.
- Massage the hands and feet; it can be a wonderfully sensuous experience for the both of you.
- Don't neglect any area of the body if you want to give your partner a complete, full body, nerve‐tingling experience.

Our street Bazaar is surrounded by visual stimulation, noisy visual chaos of vendors, hawkers. These vendors, hawkers dominate busiest urban landscapes. Here, a whole new world of images, sounds and gestures is evolving and gaining ground. Visuals of roadside stalls anticipate and announce the cultural and technological shifts.

Cobuild: Megatrend in the startup world
We are part of a technological world full of challenges, where each one of these challenges can be seen as an opportunity if we see it with an organizational vision based on new collaboration tools. In this sense, the term cobuild was born as an emerging concept based on three elements combined as an art: organizational vision, professional execution, and collaboration.
Etymologically speaking, the word cobuild starts from the prefix co- referred to interactive processes, an aspect that translates into collaboration or coordination, which emerges from the dynamics, where its parts influence each other, that is, they co-construct. In this regard, social interaction is an essential dimension, enhancing the value of present social relations and structures.
Do you know about cobuild stages?
When we talk about cobuild, we refer to a process based on taking an idea to a scale up or a company with more than 50 employees or more than $250.000 annual revenues. It is carried out through four stages, which begins with the idea validation, then is time to market and product validation to create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), to finally implement the Growth Hacking. Let's talk about a little bit about each one, to see what is this about.
Step 1: Idea validation
A study from 2013 revealed that 8 out of 10 ideas fail. That's why the idea validation is really important as the first step. But don't worry! We are going to give you some tips to help you validate the idea successfully:
Focus on the situation, not the solution. Define what do you want to solve or improve and keeps it simple.
Identify if it is the real problem or situation that you want to solve. Keep in mind that the entrepreneurs will spend some time in the next steps.
Define what differentiates you from competitors. Beware of competitors, there are many startups that currently exist in the technology market.
Find a growing market and go deeper.
Step 2: Marketing strategy
In this step, the market analysis is carried out, an implicit element in the competition analysis, jointly with the value proposal. Validate the demand for your product is the most important part, even more, important than technology, equipment, design, and price. Without validating the market, you will have a product that nobody is willing to pay for, so you will spend a lot of time, energy and money unnecessarily.
At this point, you need to define the actions that establish the marketing strategy, branding and pre-funding are carried out. The web page creation, characterized by a great design and name, that is attractive to the audience or market sector previously analyzed is of utmost importance.
Step 3: MVP's
Once you have completed the previous step, you can start where many entrepreneurs start, plan their business and build their Minimum Viable Product (MVP). This term has been popularized by Eric Ries, a famous writer on startups and it represents the basis of the Lean Startup methodology.
It's time to define the MVPs. The MVP depends on the level of criteria and product context, prior to funding. It represents the first version of your product, so you can consider beta testing as part of this step to let the people know about your product and to fix possible bugs that may arise.
Source: https://lvivity.com/minimum-viable-product
When we are talking about an MVP, it should have three basic characteristics:
- It generates enough value, so people can buy it or use it initially.
- It demonstrates its benefits to retain early users.
- It can give you a feedback loop to guide future step in the development.
Step 4: Growth Hacking
The last step is given by Growth Hacking. Growth hacking linked to cobuild is a novel way in which most modern startups grow a market with the least use of resources, getting a large number of leads with a low budget.
For this, the analytical vision is fundamental, especially in the current context, where the number of startups grows at an unstoppable pace, highlighting the fact that technology companies lack the resources to develop expensive marketing campaigns. For this step, is really important to consider the pillars of startup success.

Calciphylaxis in a Patient Without Chronic Kidney Disease: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
1Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2011, May 10-13, Dallas, Texas.
Abstract number: 257
Case Presentation:
This is a 65‐year‐old woman with history of Crohn's disease and prolonged surgical hospitalization 14 weeks prior to admission for perforated colon secondary to diverticulitis requiring lower anterior resection with end‐ileostomy. Her course was complicated by iatrogenic bladder laceration with repair and pulmonary embolism, for which she received warfarin. She improved and was transferred to a rehabilitation center. She was subsequently readmitted with urosepsis, for which she received antibiotics and heparin anticoagulation bridging back to warfarin. She was again discharged to rehabilitation. Four weeks after warfarin reinitiation she presented with painful skin lesions. Physical exam revealed morbid obesity and exquisitely tender, firm, indurated, violaceous plaques with areas of necrosis extending from the abdominal flanks to the proximal lateral thighs bilaterally. Laboratory analysis was notable for leukocytosis, INR 2.3, serum blood urea nitrogen 145 mg/dL, serum creatinine 3.4 mg/dL (baseline, 0.5 mg/dL), hypoalbuminemia, hypokalemia, hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and muddy brown urinary casts. Serum PTH was normal, protein S activity was decreased (26%), lupus anticoagulant was positive, and ANA and anticardiolipin antibodies were negative. The differential diagnosis included late‐onset warfarin‐induced skin necrosis, calciphylaxis, and catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Warfarin was discontinued, and vitamin K was administered. Skin biopsy showed subcutaneous vascular congestion and thrombosis with focal vascular calcification. Intravenous Sodium thiosulfate was initiated. Triplephase bone scanning with technetium‐99m methylene diphosphonate showed normal vascular flow and blood pool images but delayed radiotracer uptake in the subcutaneous tissues of the thighs, consistent with calciphylaxis. Sodium thiosulfate was continued thrice weekly, and the patient received pamidronate, sevelamer, and opiate pain medication. A low‐phosphate diet was initiated. Serum creatinine improved to 0.9 mg/dL with fluid resuscitation.
Calciphylaxis is a rare, life‐threatening condition and may be confused with other disorders causing skin necrosis. It almost always occurs in patients with end‐stage renal disease but can occur in acute renal failure and in the absence of kidney disease. Morbidity and mortality are estimated at 50%–80% and are the result of pain, opiate pain medication, and sepsis. Empiric treatment is often necessary. Sodium thiosulfate is a relatively new treatment option for calciphylaxis.
The purpose of presenting this case is to increase awareness of this rare condition, which may occur in patients without chronic kidney disease, and to highlight its evaluation and treatment. To our knowledge, this is the third reported case of the use of sodium thiosulfate to treat calciphylaxis in a patient without chronic kidney disease.

Cesar's top cheap fifa 15 coins defense
Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thierry Henry formed the world's most horrific attack combination, although the encounter cheap fifa 15 coins led by Lucio, Samuel and Cesar's top defense, but Ibrahimovic shot was high and wide from pole is still far off the mark. Last season, Ibrahimovic played 7 games scoring 1 goal in the Champions League, his "weak men of the Champions League" label can only be kept for the time being. Forlan's winner of the European Golden Boot last season, he and Maradona's son-in-law Sergio Aguero's forward line comprising luxurious enough, unable to do anything but Cyprus champion was Michael w. ETO was the European silver boot Awards last season, Diego Milito finished 10th in the Golden Boot Awards, it's disappointing Inter striker. Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool 1:0 is the toughest to win, Chelsea's leading striker Didier Drogba suspended, Manchester United travel to "the devil at home", and this is an excuse. Also in Anfield, Liverpool 4:0 win over Burnley in the Premier League, only 1 ball to Champions League victory over Debrecen, the contrast is too great. Scoring is difficult, conceded it is fairly easy. Real Madrid gate fell twice in two minutes, arsenal conceded two goals 3 minutes, losing 4-ball total could not exceed 5 minutes. Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas admitted: "our set piece defending as a disaster, but this is just the beginning of the season, don't fuss, we can improve. "C. Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Raul and Gonzalo higuain formed attacking combination really luxurious, but real Madrid can't always have to attack generation to defend like a 5:2 win over Zurich.

It's always nice to see a familiar passage of Scripture with a fresh perspective. This happened for me recently when my small group was discussing Galatians 5. At the end of this chapter, Paul contrasts "the works of the flesh" with "the fruit of the Spirit" (Galatians 5:19-23).
Until now, I have always focused on the primary distinction Paul makes as captured in the final word of each phrase – flesh vs. Spirit. While Paul's emphasis is on distinguishing our natural tendencies from the characteristics the Holy Spirit produces in believers, my eyes were opened to another helpful dimension of the comparison when someone in the group commented, "Fruit takes a long time to grow."
It took a minute to sink in, but I understood her point eventually – and it is profound. The list of "works" identifies common attitudes and actions which characterize who we are apart from Christ. In other words, we were all born with the capacity – in and of ourselves – to "gratify the desires of the flesh" in whatever form those impulses are manifested (5:16).
Those who have a relationship with God by faith, on the other hand, have the Holy Spirit living inside of them. Part of His task is producing in them "fruit" – godly character – that accompanies authentic faith and glorifies God instead of self.
Although the lists prove that both sinfulness and godliness can be displayed in a variety of ways, there is a noteworthy principle implicit in the word "fruit" and explicit in a cursory comparison of the items. While the "works" certainly attest to underlying tendencies and orientations of the heart, many of them can be achieved almost immediately. The Spirit-produced alternatives, though, are developed over time and become increasingly characteristic of the Christian the longer the Spirit works.
In this context, the comment "fruit takes a long time to grow" has at least two implications. First, fruit is sweetest when it's most fully developed. Making kind or faithful choices, for example, is the starting point, not the finish line. Kindness and faithfulness are the result of a Spirit-empowered pattern of kind and faithful decisions. Second and most important, the Spirit is like a wise and patient farmer who does the dirty work today so the harvest can be enjoyed in due season. He's taking His time for a reason, cultivating something that gets better with age. Like one of my former professors often said, "God grows things, and He's not in a hurry."
The lady in my small group was right. In contrast to the instant gratification promised by the "works of the flesh", fruit does take a long time to grow. Like an apple seed which eventually matures into the real thing, the Holy Spirit is in the process of making us who we are destined to be (Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 1:6). One day the fruit of His work in our lives will be in full bloom, and He will get all the glory.

How does humanity embrace global challenges that brook no national boundaries? The harm to the ecology of our planet cannot be addressed without international collaboration; nor can technology's benefits and threats.
Similarly, to answer the question of where millions of migrating people find their home requires a globe-wide reconnection with our common humanity. What sort of people must we become, and how should our institutions and policy makers adapt, if we are to address the needs of the 21st century and beyond?

Stonewall Kitchen has acquired Spruce Naturals LLC, the parent company for Napa Valley Naturals, a premium brand of certified organic extra virgin olive oils, Italian balsamic vinegars and aged wine vinegars, as well as Montebello, an artisan brand of organic pastas imported from Italy.
"We are incredibly excited to welcome the Napa Valley Naturals and Montebello brands to our family," said John Stiker, Stonewall Kitchen's CEO. "With unsurpassed quality and taste, Napa Valley Naturals is the number one selling olive oil item within the natural foods channel, as well as the number one brand of balsamic vinegars and wine vinegars according to SPINS data. Similarly, Montebello is the number two brand of shelf-stable pasta in the natural channel, experiencing rapid growth."
"Partnering with Stonewall Kitchen is a natural and authentic fit for us," added Kendall Cook, founder of Spruce and the Napa Valley Naturals brand. "After growing Napa Valley Naturals and Montebello on our own over the last few decades, I'm looking forward to working alongside Stonewall Kitchen to help accelerate the continued growth of both brands."
In January, Stonewall Kitchen acquired the Tillen Farms brand of pickled vegetables and cocktail cherries and in May, the company acquired the license of the Legal Sea Foods brand for a line of restaurant-quality seafood sauces.

Folding Campers, also known as Pop-Up Campers, are the most basic form of a camping trailer. Styles come from the most very basic, no frill design to A-Frame, toy hauler and folding campers with slides. These campers are suitable for the first time camper, hard to reach camp sites, a more rugged camping experience or camping on a budget.
Hybrid Campers, also known as Expandable Campers, are a specialized style of travel trailer. These campers are very versatile. This trailer style combines the easy setup of a standard travel trailer with space of a larger trailer. Hybrid campers come with anywhere from one to three expandable ends, can have slide outs and can sleep the whole family comfortably.
Travel Trailer Campers are fully enclosed bumper pull RVs. These campers range in size from about 14ft to 40ft in length. They can come in many styles including bunkhouses, couples campers, up to 5 slides, aluminium or fiberglass side walls and more. Depending on the size, these campers can be "V6 Tow-able," 1/2 ton or 3/4 tow-able depending on construction and options.
Destination Campers, also known as Park Models, are generally not a long haul tow-able camper. These RVs are most often placed on a permanent or semi-permanent camp site. Destination Trailers offer many of the comforts of home while still giving you the camping experience. Large bedroom areas, full kitchens with residential fridges and large living spaces are common in these campers.
Ice House Campers, also known as Fish Houses or Ice Shacks, are an ice fisher's dream rig. You can get one of these light weight campers out on as little as 9 inches of ice and can be moved with only a four wheeler. Everything from toy hauler variants to cedar lined interiors, up to 10 ice fishing holes, extra insulation and are designed to be lowered directly to the ice. Different sizes and layouts for all your ice fishing needs.
Fifth Wheel Campers are built to minimize camper and tow vehicle length while maximizing liveable space. The design also allows better weight distribution and turning radius by moving the hitch over the rear of the vehicle axle. This allows a larger RV with more weight (more slides!) to be hauled without stressing the vehicle. Depending upon style, fifth wheels can be towed by either a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton vehicle (Lite or eXtra Lite models.)
Toy Hauler Campers are made for everyone who wants to bring their toys with them on the camping trip and don't want to take a second vehicle just to haul them. Toy haulers come in either travel trailer or fifth wheel camper versions. Toy hauler travel trailers start as short as 16 feet and can get as long as 32 feet. Depending on length, some are 1/2 tow-able. 5th wheel variants can come loaded with extra options and are mostly 3/4 ton tow-able. 5th wheel toy haulers generally have larger garages and can accommodate more people.
Class C Motorhomes are perfect for the people that want the freedom of the road without the size of the larger Class A motorhome and more space than a Class B RV. Class C motorhomes come in all variants. You can get multiple slides, bunk houses, over cab sleeping, high end or entry level style motorhomes. These campers usually come with either a Ford or Chevrolet chassis and paired motor in either a large V8 or V10 motor. Most are built with gasoline engines. These motorhomes are capable of towing a vehicle or trailer behind them.
Class A Motorhomes are the largest version of the mortorhomes we have available. These are long haul RVs meant for long travel distances with the comfort of home. Class A Motorhomes are generally powered by a V8 or V10 diesel motor and are often called diesel pushers, although gas motors are available on select lines. Most Class A motorhomes come standard with an on board generator to offer power while not running the vehicle motor. Class A RVs can come with many different options and floorplans.

When I embarked on writing about outstanding businesses and entrepreneurs in the early 1990s for Australian Small Business magazine and then The Australian newspaper, I didn't fully understand how beneficial ultimately it would be for me and my own desires to build a successful business.
Apart from building an affinity with hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of businesses and their owners out there over nearly three decades, which nowadays continues through our online business coaching website www.growyourbusiness.com.au, I've been changed/educated for the better. You'd have to be thick as a brick not to have learnt something from the great business builders like Aussie's John Symond, Wizards's Mark Bouris, Boost's Janine Allis, Richard Branson, GE's Jack Welch, Gai Waterhouse and Gerry Harvey.
Apart from being gobsmacked at the mountainous achievement of these visionary, high achievers, when you hang out with them, on top of that you can't help to be educated or given a competitive advantage by simply listening to them.
Of course, I was lucky as my media reputation opened doors that I stepped through to get to know them but I had to be insistent and had to push them to give me the info and insights that I knew I wanted and my followers in the media wanted me to get for them.
One of the great lessons I learnt that helps those out there who would love to have tread the path I was lucky to go down, was given to me by Jim Collins, the author of Good to Great, one of the best business-building books of all time. Jim said he created a virtual board of advisors made up of the biggest names in US business and he did it by reading their books and imagining what they would say when he had questions he would have loved to pose to real mentors/advisers.
It's not the same as having these people helping you but it's the next best thing and I was thinking of that advice as I read Tim Ferris's book over the Christmas break called Tribe of Mentors.
Let me share with you some of the competitive edge pieces of advice from some of the legends of global business.
Andrew Ross Sorkin is an odd business beast as he is a New York Times columnist, is a co-anchor of CNBC's Squawk Box, wrote the GFC best-seller Too Big To Fail, which was turned into a film which was nominated for 11 Emmys and was a co-creator of the Stan TV series Billions.
This is an exceptional 41-year old and his grasp on the relevant was best shown by a few of his answers to Tim's questions.
Q. If you could have a gigantic billboard…what would it say?
A. "Things are never as good or as bad as they seem." This shows he's learnt healthy scepticism from journalism and being a glass half full guy by being in business for yourself.
Q. What advice would you give to a smart, driven college student?
A. Persistence matters more than talent. The student with straight A's is irrelevant if the student sitting next to him with B's has more passion.
And I loved this.
Q. When you feel overwhelmed or unfocussed, what do you do?
A. …I remember a great exchange in the film Bridge of Spies. Tom Hanks, who plays a lawyer, asks his client, who is being accused of being a spy, "Aren't you worried?" His answer: "Would it help?" I always think, "Would it help?" That is the pivotal question that I ask myself every day. If you put everything through that prism, it is a remarkably effective way to cut through the clutter."
Arianna Huffington showed the world how an innovative woman could use the Internet to create a media company that could attract more eyes that some of the biggest media brand names in the world!
She launched The Huffington Post in 2005 and in 2012 won a Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. Her take below on dealing with failure was memorable.
Q. How has failure, or apparent failure, set you up for success?
Arianna talked about a series of small failures when her second book was rejected by 37 publishers! Depressed but hopeful she went into a Barclays Bank in London, near where she lived and asked the bank manager, Ian Bell, for a loan to make ends meet. He said yes and not long after the book was published. Arianna said "I still send Ian Bell a holiday card every year. My mother taught me that failure is not the opposite of success but a stepping stone to success."
Q. To Ferris' billboard question again.
A. I'd have to say that, burnout is not the price you have to pay for success.
Like many of the successful people I deal with, Arianna thanks learning about meditation as being important in her overall approach to being successful.
If you don't know Tom Peters and you want to be a success in business, either as an entrepreneur or as an executive, then you've been reading the wrong stuff. Some of the biggest businesses in the world use Peters as a sounding board, executive coach or as facilitator for creating visionary business plans. He is a legend of the US and global business speaking fraternity. His book In Search of Excellence: Lessons from America's Best-Run Businesses has been hailed as "the best business book ever" in very respected circles.
He is a big reader and lover of books and says his competitive advantage has come from being open to learning from others! The theme of my story today, if you haven't noticed!
Q. What is the best or most worthwhile investments you've ever made?
A. I'd like to think I spent a couple of decades a half step ahead of the pack. But about four years ago, I felt I couldn't even see the tail end of the pack because I was so far behind. So I took a de facto one-year sabbatical and …READ and READ and READ some more. When it comes to tech change, where I felt out of it, I think I can now effectively deal with its implications with some degree of confidence."
That's guts when a business guru can admit he had to 'go back to school' to catch up but isn't it an inspiration?
Q. What are bad recommendations you hear in your profession or area of expertise?
A. They say: "Think big! Have a compelling vision!" I say: Think small. Do something super cool by the end of the day! I write about excellence. Most see excellence as some grand aspiration, Wrong. Dead wrong. My two cents: Excellence is the next five minutes or nothing at all. It's the quality of your next five-minute conversation. It's the quality of, yes, your next email. Forget the long-term. Make the next five minutes rock!"
Peters is unusual but he has a healthy respect for introverts who do more thinking than talking. He likes the person who pauses and thinks and he has a unique habit, which I guess he reserves for people he wants to help.
"I love giving books away! I bet, crazy as it may sound, I've given away a minimum of 25 to 50 books of each of these books," he told Tim, referring to a list of recent publications that had excited him.
I think I will rest my case on the competitive advantage from learning from legends.

Hello 2019! There's no better way to get a resolution off on the right foot than quick, easy, and pleasing swaps to make mealtimes healthier, right? We've been doing our research on healthier swaps for traditional pasta, full of simple, nutrient-dense ingredients that our toddlers will eat just as happily as the real stuff. Here's what earned a passing grade:
Tinkyada Brown Rice Spaghetti, $3.59: Totally worthy of your top secret meatball recipe, this is the closest we've found in flavor and texture to traditional spaghetti (read: even Dad loves it). Editor's tip: use the "quick and energy saving" cooking method for al dente perfection.
Banza Chickpea Pasta, $22/6 pack: Loaded with protein and fiber and it probably comes in your little's preferred shape. Because central to being a toddler is having a preferred shape of pasta, right?
Ancient Harvest POW! Red Lentil Rotini, $24.95/ 6 pack: Red lentils and Quinoa combine for a plant-powered and delicious combo. Try it in a healthier homemade mac and cheese.
Explore Foods Edamame Spaghetti, $25/6 pack: Protein, fiber, and iron abound in this mildly-flavored spaghetti. Toddler approved with just a drizzle of olive oil!

Top 10 Smartphones to buy in 2013
There was a time when Apple ruled the roost as far as smartphone market was concerned. Every smartphone aspirant dreamt about owning an Apple iPhone as it beat the competition by miles and also helped owners to flaunt it as a status symbol. But the situation has changed completely with Korean giant Samsung catching up with Apple and even other market players like Sony, Blackberry, HTC etc coming up with great smartphones having latest features and specifications. Here is a list of top 10 smartphones of the year though it is only just past the first quarter.
iPhone 5
Apple has tried to live up to the legacy of its earlier iPhone 4S by producing a smartphone that is second to none when it comes to designing and functionality. His smartphone is fitted with iOS6 and has a 4 inch screen that produces a resolution of 1280X720pixels. It is still a single camera device with a high quality 8MP camera that can create videos in HD. The phone is available in 3 different versions of 16/32/64GB memory storage.
Samsung Galaxy S4
This is the latest offering from Samsung that is packed with features even surpassing those of Apple's iPhone 5. It has a 5 inch screen and a 13 MP camera that is unheard of in smartphones. It also has a 2 MP camera in front. It has a fast dual core processor and a 2GB RAM.
Blackberry Q10
When it comes to emailing features, there is no smartphone to beat a Blackberry, and Blackberry Q10 lives up to this reputation. Q 10 has a smaller screen but retains the QWERTY keypad. It is a dual camera device with a dual core processor.
Sony Experia Z
While Sony was lying low for quite some time, it has hogged the limelight with its new smartphones lately, particularly Experia Z. it has a design that makes it waterproof, a feature that is likely to appeal youngsters. It has a huge 5 inch screen and a 13 MP camera.
HTC One
Many think of HTC as a B grade company but its smartphones are very high quality with HTC One having some very attractive features and designing. This is an Android based smartphone with great audio and video quality. It has a huge 4.7 inch screen and a 4 MP camera with a quad core processor.
Google Nexus 4
This is a great smartphone from Google that runs on latest Android OS. The phone boasts of a super fast processor with a large screen and a high quality camera that makes videos in HD.
Nokia Lumia 920
Nokia may be struggling on the whole but this smartphone operating on Microsoft's Windows OS is a really special smartphone. It is slightly heavy at 185g but it also has a 4.7 inch screen. It has a 8.7MP camera and good storage capacity at 32 GB.
The last three slots in this list of top 10 smartphones of the year are occupied by iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy SIII, and LG Optimus respectively.

Road-Aversion Disorder
We're making a quick (6 hr) trip to Tulsa for a party tonight (Mister's high school friends) and then back home tomorrow morning. Did I mention it was a 6 hour drive one-way? UGH!
You know I hate road trips.
I think I have "Road-Aversion Disorder".

I love road trips! But 6 hours one way for an evening would be too much for me too!

The last time we did a road trip similar to this I took my Mac and cleaned up my computer while on the road. The time flew... and my computer was happier in the end. What I have noticed though in the past few years is that these longer day trips are hard on these old bones. lol. 6 hours, I think I would have got a hotel.. I hope you had fun!

I love road trips, a good book, some good music, what more could you ask for. Hope you had fun and that it was worth it.

- marejohn said...
oh yes...a girl after my own heart...
and everywhere we go in the middle of the United States seems to require that kind of travel to get ANYWHERE! I FEEL your pain..
Hope it went FAST! (and that you managed to have a bit of fun along the way)

We make those trips a lot. I have family in Nashville - 5 hours, a best friend in knoxville - 5 hours, and a niece in PC - 5 hours away. I love the trips.....no road aversion disorder for me! :-)

My husband and I do the books on CD. We also get really easy crossword puzzles and the passenger gets to read the clues, while we both guess the words.

I am not that great of a passenger. I am running out of reasons to hermitize myself. If you have any good excuses for staying at home...clue me in.
- July 1, 2012 at 9:04 PM
- Maryleta said...
I love road trips even when they throw curve balls your way. I have always liked just getting in the car and driving to where ever the car will take me. I love to see the country side even thought I have passed several times before. I now only wish for a vehicle I can leave town in and not worry if I will end up on the side of the road. Lol
- July 1, 2012 at 9:32 PM
- Jill of All Trades said...
Oh in Tulsa huh. I know I hate trips that are over 2 hours drive. I'm kind of a homebody or townbody!
- July 2, 2012 at 5:27 AM
- Joy Tilton said...
Six hours is not a quick trip, for most of us anyway! We are planning a trip over to Tulsa this summer too, just to shop mostly. I sure don't want to go until this heat breaks... we are cooling down a little this week!

The main purpose of the design of this WordPress webshop is to emphasize the quality of the floors. The idea is that when people buy a floor they will want to browse pictures so they can imagine how the floor will look in their home.
Our brief was to create a custom webshop with a distinctive style that brought the brand to life, encouraged sales and felt friendly and fun. Also focusing on big visuals from floors in the entire site will be key.
Both the User Experience and the customer flow were investigated and optimally organized in a well-considered sketch phase. The site is primarily visually designed to give visitors the right impression of the floor before they purchase it.
With a focus on eCommerce, WordPress with WooCommerce was the logic platform choice for Studio Ubique to work with.
