A Dementia friendly Australia, or are we?
"It's our responsibility to strengthen the links of the community, otherwise we're taking away the identity of people with dementia." Professor Richard Fleming. To see the environment through the eyes of someone who is living with dementia is the only way to create dementia friendly communities. Professor Richard Fleming spoke to Alzheimer's Australia in Canberra this month about shifting the environment to help explore the design principles that...

Welcome to the Dementia Institute's first newsletter
Charles Dickens wrote in the first sentence of The Tale of Two Cities "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times." So it is also at a time when the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has reported dementia as the second leading underlying cause of death in Australia and, in the same week, the Health Minister announced 76 new fellows would be funded to undertake dementia research. It is truly a time of growing concerns...

Arcido Akra Air Travel Backpack
The AKRA is a simple-looking backpack that has elements resembling an outdoor junkie's gear bag. It provides a spacious compartment to store and organize everything you need for a week's worth of activities. While it may sound like a bulky proposition, the AKRA will fit right in the space of an airplane's overhead luggage compartment.
This bag comes with several fabric components, all of which feature durable polyurethane coating. The bottom scuff fabric boasts of 1000-denier Codra for superior strength. The main body of the bag features an equally-robust 500-denier Blendex Kodra. Inside the spacious 35-liter main compartment is a liner featuring 150-denier Oxford polyester. This gives the Arcido AKRA the toughness of an adventure bag.
While it is true that the AKRA can accommodate up to 35 liters of your stuff, it will never weigh you down on your travels. Providing ample support during carriage is a couple of straps that secure the bag to your body. Both the sternum and waist straps feature full padding to make it more comfortable during walks.
The main compartment opens wide to allow for the more efficient packing of items. Inside the compartment is a slot that comes with a laptop harness. This is quite unusual since most travel backpacks feature a dedicated laptop sleeve in the interior. The AKRA doesn't have that. Instead, it integrates a removable laptop harness that can accommodate your 15-incher.
The bag itself is lightweight enough to allow for everyday use. Its exterior is waterproof, so one can always walk in the rain without worry. This is a backpack that is functional in different environments; although it is best for weekend travels.
The Arcido AKRA comes with neat features in a simple, minimalist design. It's the backpack that's great for everyday tasks as well as weekend adventures.

Tips and Tricks to getting the most out of Oracle Eloqua's new features in 2019.
Tips and Tricks to getting the most out of Oracle Eloqua's new features in 2019.
by Tom Oakley, Marketing Automation Consultant - January 2019
2018 was a busy year in the world of Eloqua releases. On the back of a few years of minor updates, as we head into 2019, the Eloqua 18D release undoubtedly hits the spot when it comes to headline features. Whatever your specialism, there's something for you.
I can't start by failing to mention the addition of Chrome as a preferred browser for the first time. If you're a Chrome user, you'll understand the pain of having to separately open a Firefox browser just for Eloqua, when everything else is managed within the one Chrome window. Long overdue, but an end to the unnecessary browser switching or risking forgetting and blindly waiting for a list to load that'll probably time out.
Arguably the most important feature of 18D is the rollout of the new Landing Page Design Editor, which has been in Beta up-to-now, as part of the controlled availability program. Unlike before, it allows for the quick build of responsive landing pages for a better customer experience, without needing to touch the HTML.
If you're a designer, you'd probably be frustrated with the limitations caused by the strict wireframe and restrictions in HTML usage, but for the average marketing user with no coding skills, a simple registration page can be built from scratch without a marketing agency hand-holding you through it.
In fact, the Beta has been so successful that Oracle will remove the option to create assets using the original editor as of May 2019, with the option to edit existing assets taken away in August.
Reporting & Dashboards
No update would be suffice for me without new reporting capabilities, which thankfully can be ticked off in 18D. Probably the most consistent question we as marketers now have to answer surrounds the impact of our marketing activities on revenue, so the new Closed-Loop Reporting Dashboard is a great addition to view attribution information, without having to delve into Insight.
Furthermore, the Email Performance Dashboard has been enhanced through the addition of the email click-through visualiser. This isn't a new report as such, since it was previously available as a standalone, but it's now easier to use within the Email Performance Dashboard.
As for Eloqua's Insight reports, there are now extra customisation options on the Website Overview, Page Details and Campaign Engagement reports, and the repetitive task of needing to open a support case to assign an Analyser license to any Eloqua user has been removed, with it now becoming a self-service capability for admins.
Salesforce Integration App
Although only part of the controlled availability program for now and requiring an access request via My Oracle Support, I anticipate the most significant feature in this release will eventually be the closed Beta of the new Salesforce integration app.
The current native integration between Eloqua and Salesforce requires program builder, meaning there are delays in the sync. However with this new app, the integration is able to be managed within a program or campaign canvas to create or update records in Salesforce objects in real time. What we will see going forward is whether the flexibility of the existing integration is maintained, whilst becoming easier to use and configure, as the current flexibility is a key advantage of Eloqua's over other marketing automation technologies.
As a heads up, those requesting this feature need to be comfortable with the current native Eloqua-Salesforce integration, have a sandbox environment, and use the 18 character SFDC IDs (not 15) - otherwise the request will probably be rejected.
Given the extensive release notes of 18D, I would highly recommend any Eloqua User to give the official release notes (https://www.oracle.com/
For the here and now however, those still using the legacy design editors should certainly focus on the new landing page capabilities and depreciation deadlines for the original Design Editor.

text: Monty Python's Flying Circus is a British sketch comedy series commissioned by David Attenborough, created by the comedy group Monty Python and broadcast by the BBC from 1969 to 1974. The shows were composed of surreality, risqué or innuendo-laden humour, sight gags and observational sketches without punchlines. It also featured animations by Terry Gilliam, often sequenced or merged with live action. The first episode was recorded on 7 September and broadcast on 5 October 1969 on BBC One, with 45 episodes airing over four series from 1969 to 1974, plus two episodes for German TV. The show often targets the idiosyncrasies of British life, especially that of professionals, and is ... more on Wikipedia

In the year 1965, almost 50 years back, I was in a place far away from home, in my first job. That was the first time I left home alone and yet unmarried. One day, I got an open post card from my father that my brother named 'Ramu' of age 10, died due to drowning in the lake near our house. His body was found by the divers in a decomposed condition after searching for 2 days.
Ramu was the darling boy of our family. He was exceptionally good in behavior, studies, and helping mother at home. I remember him sewing on the sewing machine and helping mother in domestic chores.
When I got the news of his death, I was in a turmoil. One question arose in my mind: 'Why did God take away such a good boy at the premature age of 10? Why? Why?' This constantly swirling question did not allow me to do my normal work, eat or sleep. I was totally restless and inconsolable for 2 days.
Later on, I came to know that my brother, who did not know how to swim, went to a nearby lake along with some of his friends who could swim. When my father came to know of this, he thrashed him and warned him, to never to go near that lake. It was also learned that some time back, he came across a fortune teller sitting by the side of a road with a parrot in a cage. There were printed cards kept outside the cage with different printed versions of future written on each of them. My brother paid that man, he released the trained parrot, it came out of the cage and picked up one of the cards spread out neatly before the cage. The card picked up for my brother was contained among other things, that his life was in danger from water. This was perhaps working in his young mind, making him to seek out the danger from water. Or perhaps, he was destined to die as a child and the parrot forecast served as an excuse.
Let me come back to my agony over his death. On the third day, I heard a silent voice asking me a counter question "Mr Suryanarayana, why do you blame God for your brother's childhood death? Did HE promise you that your darling brother Ramu would live into old age? If ever some entity made such a promise, blame that entity for breaking the promise. If no promised, you have no business blaming anyone. You can't even raise that question. I was stumped by the irrefutable truth behind the counter question.
My mind was stilled into silence. The restless questioning of the last two days suddenly stopped. There was some peace in my mind.
After some time, a supplementary thought popped into my mind. It is said in some spiritual texts that this world is like a stage. We are all the actors. Some people play the roles of older people, some that of middle aged ones and some of children. Every actor enacts one's assigned role and goes back stage. My brother Ramu was assigned a child actor's role. He played it wonderfully and went back stage, never to appear again. What am I complaining about? On the other hand, should I not be happy that he played his assigned role superbly, giving us the pleasure of his company for 10 long years. In spite of all the above self explanations, I was still suffering for the loss of my dear brother.
After a few days, another wave of a thought arose. Why was I suffering? A thought came in response. I am suffering because of my own invalid expectation about his life term. If I had been aware about the uncertainty of my brother's life, like that of any other human being and accepted that he may die any moment, I would not have suffered beyond the practical loss of a very dear family member. If I had imbibed the uncertainty of any individual's life, not only his, I would have thought this way – 'Yes, nobody guaranteed his long life, neither God nor anyone. He might have died any moment. But we are lucky that he lived 10 full years giving us the gift of his company.'
When these thoughts repeatedly circulated in my mind over a few weeks, the reality of his death did not cause me any further suffering. I was at peace with the occurrence of his death and could function normally.
Later, when faced with some disappointments in life, another offshoot of a thought arose. If there is no certainty about the full disc called life, how can there be any degree of certainty about the other segments of life: education, employment, marriage, children, so on? If the disc itself uncertain, any segment of it has to be equally uncertain. If I could be at peace about my brother's death as child, I might as well be at peace about the other incidents in my life or of any other person.
Once I accept this fundamental uncertainty, I can deal with it. It need not paralyze me. Generally, we attach disproportionately higher weightage to our disbelief in success. We tend to believe more in failure. This may be because of the negative mode in which we are brought up since birth.
It is rare that I have zero chance of fulfilling my goals. The probability of some magnitude of success is as real as that of failure. I should not blow up the negative probability and not try at all, thereby missing the apparently available opportunities. That would be foolishness. This healthy attitude can motivate me to keep on trying to the best of my capability to achieve my goals. Whatever I achieve in my lifetime will be a surprise gift.
My brother Ramu's childhood death taught me some precious lessons for living: embrace the inevitable uncertainties; resist blowing up the potential failures; nurture the potential for success by putting in my best efforts and be grateful for whatever life offers.
- I shared this story with a woman attending my classes. She was on the verge of an emotional break down due to the verbally abusive and controlling behavior of her boss at work. She realized that her expectation of caring and kind behavior from him was a major cause for her distress. She accepted that she could not change his behavior and should stop expecting him to change his behavior. Instead, she had to change the way she responded to his abusive behavior. In the next class she reported that this change in her attitude reduced her distress drastically.

This French Onion Soup can be made in a Kenwood kCook Multi in less than half an hour. It's a lot faster than the traditional slow-cooked version, but it's still incredibly tasty. We used beef stock in ours, but for a vegetarian version, replace with vegetable stock. A sprinkle of gruyere on top wouldn't hurt either!

With school almost back in full swing, it's important to send your children to school with a healthy and delicious lunch. Skipping lunch can hinder your child's ability to concentrate in class, decrease energy levels during afterschool sports, and make it more likely that he will grab those less healthy snacks later in the day.1 Plus, packing lunch can be easy, simple, and more affordable than buying lunch each day. Keep these ten tips in mind to create the perfect brown bag lunch!
Leaving the lunch packing for the morning can make your morning hectic and may make packing lunch feel like a hassle. Instead, try packing your child's lunch the night before and keep it in the refrigerator. Some parents find it easiest to prepare lunches either before or after dinner– experiment to see what works best for you!
When packing your child's lunch, use lunch boxes and plastic containers. This will help keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot and it is also environmentally responsible and will help ensure your child's food stays a safe temperature. When choosing plastic containers, look for ones that are free of known toxins, such as BPA. Look for BPA-free plastics or opt for stainless steel or glass containers – just as you would do when looking for BPA free cans with your canned foods.
Have leftovers from dinner? Use them as lunch for the next day. Leftover chicken can be remade into a chicken salad sandwich or a chicken wrap. This will cut down on food waste from the previous night's meal AND provide your child with a healthy, balanced, already prepared meal, saving you time and money!
Incorporate seasonal foods into your child's lunch. Seasonal foods tend to taste fresher and contain peak amounts of nutrients. On a cold winter day, pack soup in a thermos. Then, during the spring, pack a colorful salad using in-season produce.
If your child is bored with her lunch, she will be more likely to throw it out or trade it with friends. Instead of packing a sandwich every day, mix it up! Give your child wraps, salads, soup, cheese and crackers, pita and hummus, and other new foods to keep it interesting. Packing your child's lunch in a bento box is another fun way to switch it up. Ask your child what she likes best, or what she would like to try!
Add an encouraging note or small treat to let your child know you are thinking about them during the day. A few positive words go a long way!
Be sure to keep food safety in mind when packing your child's bagged lunch. Wash your hands before preparing their lunch and pack a disinfectant wipe so they will have clean hands before eating.
Remember to make sure your child's lunch is balanced. Aim to include foods that have dairy, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and protein. Boxed raisins are a perfect way to get in tasty fruit with no prep on your end! Have your kids try the Super Crew's crack the code raisin activity to make them more excited to eat their raisins. Balanced lunches and snacks will help fuel your child for sustained energy to get them through the whole school day.
Sending your child off with a treat will help make your child's lunchtime experience feel a little more special, and this doesn't have to make it less nutritious! The right treats can be used to get in even MORE nutrients. Follow these lunchtime dessert tips to help optimize your child's nutrition AND help make lunchtime even more exciting.
Along with healthy treats, snacks provide yet another opportunity to help boost your child's nutrition. Here are some snack packing tips for ideas and inspiration. Then check out even more snack tips here!
Remember, you don't have to implement all of these changes at once. Choose 2 or 3 to focus on first and see how much more your kids enjoy their lunches!

I just think it's humorous that people go BUY HALF-LIFE 1 while they go torrent lots of music and tv shows on the side :D
Well, you see, video games have almost always been bought, while TV and music were, for a long time, free. At least, that's how I figure it when it comes to people pirating TV and music. That and, as Cocyx said, the music industry is incredibly corrupt, with DRM left and right and overpricing.
However, I desire to buy the stuff I like later, or the ones whom I feel deserve it. Includes games and software. I have a pirated copy of Office 2007, but I will be buying Office 2010. Been meaning to buy Office 2007 even before 2010, but my financial situations strained me (could have got it for $60 + free 2010 upgrade! :( ).
Have already started buying some of the pirated stuff I've got that I use/depend on a lot. ;)
I rarely pirate nowadays. I don't have the time (college), or the internet (satellite w/ bandwidth quotas). There isn't really anything to pirate anyway, except for games, but I don't even have the hardware power (low-end laptop with Intel graphics lololol). Kind of bored of games anyway; they're all the same. Plus you generally can't play online if you pirated a game, so that's that much more fun taken out of it. Plus Steam has great deals from time to time.
One of the annoying things in IRC is when kids come to you asking for clan webhosting/gamehosting sponsorship. I made my webhosting so cheap ($1/mo) to eliminate this. So whenever some punk nimcompoot kid comes asking for sponsorship on webhosting, I tell them that if they can't even afford to pay $1/mo, they should be permabanned from the internet and computers. Should probably even go as far as saying that they ought to be forced to use a manual non-electric typewriter for the rest of their life. :DQuote:

I prefer to know I have the real thing only to discover a warez infested pile of crap, I have way to many dvds though and if my dvd/bluray drive breaks again I'll be mad as hell.
Shame Top Gear wasn't released in full in the UK like they did in america otherwise I would have that as well.
oh side note, sven co-op is free, if you want them to support WON why don't you hire them?
the reign of cat pirates has begun...
its pretty hard to buy what you have pirated earlier, must have pretty much will
First -YEEEEEEEEEEES.
Second -I see that on the screenshots there're new weapons.My question is -can we use them on all the maps or just on specific ones?
Third -what are the rar files for (don't laugh-I'm a noob.I usually just download sven co op installer and that's it,but this time i saw the rar files.)
RAR files are archives, like zip files. The SC4.5 rar files are the same but without the installer (which means various checks and actions have to be done manually). They're handy for server ops in some cases -- you can safely ignore them.
Out of gratitude for the work on SvenCoop I'd love to host the files on Rautamiekka File Server, but the packs are RARs for which reason I packed the data into 7z with 7-Zip x64 on WinServer 2008 R2 in settings of
- ultra compression
- LZMA2 method
- 256MB dictionary
- 1 thread
- 273 word size
- solid blocks
resulting in 409MB pack which is 168MB smaller than the RAR. If non-RAR is not a choice (which is extremely pathetic), so be it, but you should know RARs and ZIPs are useless compared to max packed 7z. It's advancement.
7z is pretty sweet from what i hear. shouldnt be a problem.
good stuff! cannot wait for the new maps :)
{ Rautamiekka File Server:
MIRRORED FILES AS IS:MIRRORED FILES RE-PACKED IN 7z:- "sc4_contest_mappack.7z" (SC4.5 Contest Mappack), md5="5b1eb1237e8c65457d75a1af1353d594"- "sc4_creepsworld_v2.7z" (SC4.5 Creepsworld Mappack v2), md5="ad4cc9500c5880a61940b7558fc14228"- "sc4_sc3mappack.7z" (SC4.5 Three-Point-Oh Mappack), md5="288e202c29fd4b539f25db8c3a6a7a4d"- "sc_caseclosed_pg_etc.7z" (Case Closed, Project Guilty, E.T.C.

even i have 7zip, i still just .zip shit because i dont remember if winrar and stuff supports it. i could 7z stuff though instead
Might have to start mapping again!
Downloading now.
I found out that the Mod is almost dead now :( .. only 10 servers, 3 of them where SvenCoop old version, 4 of them XP mods, and 2 of them have like 400+ latency, so i can only play one or two servers.
There are about 40 servers. Check your filter settings.
Shouldn't my mirror links be in the files section ?
I think I've played all the maps a thousand times, and no I've been fed with many more. You guys are LEGEN - wait for it - DARY!
But tell me, can I play the originial Half-Life 1 campaign, coop with a friend now ? Or more friends ?
Not sure what u meant in the changelog.

Insiders say that Sinclair and East will resurface very quickly with White Horse Pictures, a company that will focus on the production of quality feature films and TV programming. The name comes from the prehistoric hill figure known as the Uffington White Horse. The duo had been on the outs with the company's majority owners who no longer wanted to take big bets in the production business after a few films didn't hit. The company has downsized since, and for instance exited the Johnny Depp Whitey Bulger film Black Mass, which Warner Bros acquired to distribute worldwide.
Backed by the Dutch investment fund Dasym Investment Strategies, Exclusive has laid off most of its production department, but it has a strong library of over 1000 and will move forward primarily as a library and sales company. After Deadline dropped the bombshell at Berlin that Sinclair and East would be leaving, subsequent reports put the blame squarely on the Ron Howard-directed Rush. I don't think that film was the main reason. Though a disappointment in the U.S., the film was hardly a disaster, its $90 million worldwide gross double its $40 million budget, with risk spread among multiple partners. (more…)

This technical deep dive highlights key capabilities released as part of Twistlock 18.11. To learn more about what's included with Twistlock 18.11, check out our full release blog post.
Pivotal Application Service, a key part of Pivotal Cloud Foundry, delivers unprecedented application resilience and flexibility. With the ability to quickly and easily deploy your Java, .NET, and node.JS applications, automated security scans are even more vital. So, it is with no small measure of excitement, to announce vulnerability scanning for Pivotal Application Service (PAS) via the Twistlock cloud native cybersecurity platform.*
Twistlock for PAS enables organizations to continuously scan droplets in blobstores for vulnerabilities. Users can easily review and share scan reports across the development, devops, and security, and raise alerts and route them to the right party when the scanner finds issues that violate policy using email, Slack, JIRA, and other alert providers.
Expanding on existing Pivotal support
Twistlock already provides vulnerability and compliance scanning of applications prior to deployment — a requirement that I highly recommend. But, as many new vulnerabilities are discovered every day, it is important to continuously monitor and assess the risk of your deployed applications.
As we mentioned prior to support for PAS, Twistlock supports full lifecycle security for Pivotal Container Service (PKS) which we covered in this blog post. With added support for PAS, Twistlock can secure the entirety of your applications on PCF.
Droplets and blobstores explained
A droplet is the Cloud Foundry unit of execution. Once an application is pushed to Cloud Foundry and deployed using a buildpack, the result is a droplet. Those droplets are stored in blob storage for further deployment processes. You can think of a droplet as an application and a blobstore as a grouping of applications. This comparison is roughly equivalent to Docker images stored in Docker repositories.
Setting up Twistlock to scan a blobstore
Installing the Twistlock Tile into PCF
Assuming you already have Twistlock installed and stood up, you simply import the Twistlock PCF tile using the PCF OpsManager Dashboard. There are two ways to accomplish this:
Choice 1: In PCF OpsManager, on the bottom left, click on "Pivotal Network", and then search for "Twistlock" and choose "Twistlock for PCF" from partner services.
Choice 2: In PCF OpsManager, choose import a product. The Twistlock PCF tile can be found where you installed the Twistlock platform at:
Twistlock Tile configuration
To simplify the configuration of the Twistlock Tile, the Twistlock Platform provides a script which you can obtain from your Twistlock Console at Manage > Defenders > Deploy. This script will be utilized in the PCF OpsManager to configure your Twistlock Tile, so copy it into your paste buffer.
In PCF OpsManager, click on the Twistlock Tile to configure it as follows:
Fill in each field appropriately; in Twistlock Component Configuration, enter the install script you copied from the Twistlock Console.
Configure Twistlock to scan one or more blobstores
To setup blobstore scanning, navigate to Defend > Vulnerabilities > PCF Blobstore and add a PCF Blobstore by specifying your cloud controller and droplets to scan; wildcards are acceptable.
After just a few minutes, your blobstore scan reports will be available at Monitor > Vulnerabilities > PCF Blobstore, which you can see in the following screenshot:
You can dive deeper into any scan report by clicking anywhere on the report line, as well as view included risk factors such as whether or not an exploit exists, attack vector information, and more. When additional risk factors are present, risk increases for that particular droplet. Additionally, the application scan report includes a complete bill of materials for all the binaries in the tile-based application via the Package Info tab.
Pivotal Application Service enables fast, scalable, and highly available cloud native application deployments. Twistlock adds security scan support for your PCF droplets including easy sharing of reports along with multiple methods for alerting the proper personnel when risky components are present in your droplets.
To learn more about Twistlock support for applications on PCF, check out our listing on the Pivotal Services Marketplace.
Fast, easy, and secure!
*Pivotal Application Service support is currently in beta.

Back at the end of May I posted about my summer reading plans. I listed ten books that I hoped/planned to read over the course of June-August. Now that then end of August is in sight, I thought I'd check back, to see how I'd done….
Of the ten books listed, I actually read only three, plus have a start on a fourth. That doesn't, however, mean I've read only three books all summer! I just read some I hadn't planned on….
From the books planned list, I read Darjeeling, Maisie Dobbs, and Nights of Rain and Stars, plus have begun Words To Live By, which will take several months to finish, as I read only a few entries each day from that book. In addition to those, I also read:
Filling Up The Afflictions of Christ by John Piper
Dragon Song by Anne McCaffery (BOTM)
Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett
Dragonsinger by Anne McCaffrey (BOTM)
Pardonable Lies by Jacqueline Winspear (book 3 Maisie Dobbs)
Private Justice by Terri Blackstock
Shadow Of Doubt by Terri Blackstock
Dragon Drums by Anne McCaffrey (BOTM)
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (BOTM)
Birds Of A Feather by Jacqueline Winspear (Maisie Dobbs book 2, oops!)
Double Minds by Terri Blackstock
And will finish by tonight, Moreta: Daragon Lady of Pern….Anne McCaffrey. (BOTM)
Altogether, fifteeen books completed and one still in progress. Oh, and I started listening to Michael Palin Diaries 1969-1979, The Python Years in the car yesterday. I'm partway through the second section, somewhere in 1974….
Year total for completed books (not counting Moreta yet) is 38. I'm pretty happy with that, as my goal for 2010 at the start of the year was 52….and I wasn't sure then that I could make it. Now, however, I feel confidant that I will!
*** Just found out that one can read, in advance of it's publication, chapters from the new Castle book. LOL…off to read the first four chapters….

New Canadian Pediatric Allergen Guidelines: What's changed and how does it impact introducing solids?
Jump on google and look up "when do I start my baby on solids" and you're going to come up with all sorts of answers and reasons that contradict the last. Start at 4 months, wait until over 6 months... "food before one is just for fun".. stories of aunts putting cereal in bottles at 3 months and a friend's child who didn't really eat anything until 10 months!
The Cereal Debate
When I became a mum to my first son Ben, I was so eager for him to get to the next stage of everything. When was he going to smile, walk, talk or eat real food? I was lucky enough to be able to breastfeed and I did that exclusively for the first 7 months until I went back to work. It was around the same time that I began introducing solid food into his diet.
Let's Talk About Poop, Baby!
As a Mom & Nutritionist, poop is one of my favourite topics and comes up in every new consultation I have with a client, big or small. You can tell so much about the health of someone by their pooping details or lack thereof.

So what's it all about then? I mean seriously Food from the Mother Ship – are we harbouring aliens and giving away the secrets to Earth's culinary delights? – I think not. Seriously folks the title was a bit tongue in cheek for want of a better expression. We have seen many great food journals, blogs and portals all with names that all have deep meanings. Ours do not but only to reflect a sense of fun and a touch of Joie de vivre.
Food from the Mother Ship is a collection of recipes that we have either created or collected over the years. Both of us are dye in the wool foodies and have both travelled extensively with our jobs and the whole time eating out and cooking in.
This place of food for want of a better phrase will feature articles on cooking techniques, recipes from our heritage and all time favourites, reviews of cookbooks and cookware, and it will include information on food festivals.
There is only a few requirements we have for this website – that you enjoy yourself, use the recipes and let us know how you did or what you changed – we love comments and hearing from you.
If you have a recipe you want to share let us know and we will test it and publish it here. It's all about enjoyment of food and the community that is created around it.
All hail the mother ship…!

COSTA MESA – Church United pastor Jim Domen bowed his head Wednesday morning and called upon the "heavenly father" to give Orange County educators the wisdom to do what's best for the county's children.
Only a few feet away, behind the dais of the Orange County Board of Education, was a wall with large, gold letters: "In God We Trust."
Invocations, the phrase and resolutions by the board that have honored holidays such as Christmas and Easter have come under fire by an organization that says such acts are officially endorsing Christian messages and are unconstitutional.
On Wednesday, dozens of residents, religious leaders and others fought back at the Costa Mesa meeting and urged the board to not buckle to pressure.
"It is our heritage," Ron Williams of Newport Beach told the board. "It is woven into our society. It is who we are."
Others, including a deacon from the Catholic Diocese of Orange, said the country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and noted that "In God We Trust" is on U.S. currency.
On Aug. 15, the Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a letter to the county board calling on it to stop the religious invocations and remove "In God We Trust."
"This is a fundamentalist kind of phenomenon," Annie Laurie Gaylor, the foundation's co-founder, said in an interview. "It sends a message of contempt for separation between church and state."
The Board of Education hasn't officially responded to the letter, a foundation lawyer said.
The Wisconsin-based foundation won a case this year against the Chino Valley Unified School Board, where some members regularly injected religion into their comments.
U.S. District Judge Jesus Bernal ordered trustees in the San Bernardino County city to stop their custom of reciting prayers and Bible readings at meetings, and he ordered four of them to pay nearly $203,000 to the foundation for attorneys' fees and other costs.
Chino Valley Unified, which no longer allows school board members to proselytize or begin meetings with prayers, has appealed to the 9th Circuit of Appeal, where a ruling may arrive sometime in the latter part of next year, said Robert Tyler, a Chino Valley lawyer.
"We're fighting for the invocations," Tyler said. "It's something that's been going on since the founding of our country."
Attorneys on both sides of the issue said the Chino Valley case has implications for Orange County and school boards across California and several other states.
In 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Greece v. Galloway that public officials may open public meetings with prayers as long as they are open to all faiths. At the Orange County school board, where the invocations became board policy that same year, the opportunity is open to all religions.
Those who are interested can write the board, with names randomly chosen, the board's website says.
Freedom from Religion attorneys argue that the Greece, N.Y. case, which permitted sectarian prayers at legislative meetings, does not apply to public school board meetings. Meanwhile, in cities across California, an increasing number of City Councils have added the "In God We Trust" motto to their chambers in recent years.
Al Holguin, a Mission Viejo resident who addressed the board at an earlier meeting, said in an interview that such resolutions and invocations send a message that excludes many: "If you're not part of the club, then you're not part of us."
At that board's meeting last month, several residents spoke in favor of stopping the religious activities, including Al Wehrle, who said he was a retired U.S. colonel who served to protect the U.S. Constitution: "It is not your purview to place your religious beliefs on display in this setting."
Meanwhile, two legal teams — one that represented Chino Valley Unified in the original lawsuit and a second one representing the district in the appeal — have offered to represent the Orange County board for free.

Welcome to Hotel, Weinhaus and Restaurant Bockshaut!
Conveniently located in Darmstadt's pedestrian zone, we are proud to have received the "Historical German Hostelry Prize" by the German government as recognition for our historical and cultural role in Darmstadt.
Our classic German hostelry was founded as a presbytery in 1580 and used as a tannery from 1760. In 1795 it was transformed into a wine tavern and restaurant and the emblem of the guild, the skin of a male goat (Bockshaut) was chosen as the name for our tavern.
Today our hotel offers classic rooms and our historic restaurant a wide range of local and traditional German dishes.
The Bockshaut is the only restaurant in the State of Hessen to receive the "Historical German Hostelry Prize" from the German gouvernment.
For the German government, it is an absolute necessity to preserve original and traditional hostelries. They play a social role, as well as a cultural role and can be linked to the history of Darmstadt and Germany.
The prize has been awarded to Reiner Heiss, owner of the Bockshaut, in a public award ceremony.
Hotel * Restaurant "Bockshaut"
Anniversary year
430 year domestic Bockshaut(1580 )
with 215 year restaurant (1795 )
Dear Guests,
We are happy to inform you that we have been given the honor of receiving the "Historical German Hostelries Prize". It is the oldest hostelry in Darmstadt; it is an institution of the city, respresenting the history of the house, the city and its inhabitants.
You will only find German food, beer and wine on the menu. We use only fresh produce of the region. In addition to the restaurant with beer garden and various rooms, the Bockshaut has a 3-star hotel.
The year 2010 will be a Jubilee Year for us, under the star of the "German Hostelries Award".
We would be pleased if you joined us to celebrate this event.
Reiner Heiß

County auditor to assume state post
Madison County Auditor Rick Faccin announced Monday that he will serve as president of the Illinois Association of Auditors. He was elected by other county auditors from across the state at a meeting last month of the Illinois Association of County Officials.
Faccin succeeds Jim Raisens, who announced his retirement last month.
Faccin will serve a two-year term. The election also makes Faccin a member of the IACO's executive board.
Faccin was elected Madison County Auditor in 2000, and had no opposition in the November election.
Madison County Clerk Mark Von Nida was elected to IACO. Today he is fifth vice president of the association and is in line to be president in 2014. The group "provides educational opportunities to elected officials at the county level," Von Nida said.
Faccin was asked Monday whether his duties as president would no interfere with his job as Madison County's "financial watchdog."
"Not at all," he said. "I think it's an honor for Madison County to have two elected officials (serving at the state level). It's more work, but it enhances the status of Madison County throughout the state."
As president, Faccin said he will organize efforts to lobby state legislators on behalf of the auditors. He will also "make sure that we have sufficient educational programs set up to enhance our professional standing."
County auditors are required to update their training with at least 20 hours of professional education each year. Before the group meets next spring in Springfield for its annual conference, Faccin said he will work with the IACO's education coordinator to set up the required course work and make sure they are available.
Last month the Madison County Auditor's Office was awarded Certificate of Achievement of Excellence in Financial Reporting. It was presented by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada.

Thursday, May 22, 2008
Aided by a pair of Grand Slams, the Red Sox completed their 4 game sweep of the Royals, and 7-0 homestand Thursday afternoon. JD Drew hit the first Grand Slam in the 2nd, putting the Sox ahead 4-1. Mike Lowell capped a 6 run 6th with his, giving his team an 11-3 lead.
But it was an ugly win, as the 11-8 score suggests. Matszuaka only went 5.2 innings, allowing 6 hits and 6 walks. His 118 pitches translates into 21 pitches per inning, which has been a major problem for him this year.
The bullpen made things entirely too interesting. Hansen gave up 2 runs in the 7th, boosting his already obese ERA to 7.56. Aardsma had his first major struggles in awhile, giving up 3 in the 8th. All of this caused the Red Sox to use Papelbon to get the last 3 outs.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid, or maybe it's just the Red Sox pessimism that still festers in my heart, but with all the use Papelbon is getting, I can see a repeat of 2006 in September. And no Papelbon means no World Series, folks.
But as I've said a few dozen times already this year, a win is a win. The Sox have the best record in baseball, and are 21-5 in Fenway. But now they have to go on the road. Far on the road. The Sox take on the A's Friday night. Tim Wakefield goes against Rich Harden.

Something totally unexpected happened last week. My ex-boyfriend contacted me after seven years of silence. I hadn't heard from him since we broke up.
Our relationship was unhealthy (to say the least) and shortly after we parted, I did something stupid which completely distanced him from me. We were very much in love at one point, but our inability to deal with our demons quickly poisoned what we had.
It took years for me to accept my role in our destruction. I had played the victim with him, but I was anything but that. I was cruel and said hurtful things. I was jealous and mistrustful. I wanted to be the centre of his world, and whatever attention he gave me was never enough. I was angry.
It stung like hell when he told me he didn't love me anymore. But eventually I realized that I didn't blame him. He had his own part to play in our breakdown, and he has to deal with that. But I can only be responsible for myself. And I see now that I had no self-love when I was with him. Whatever he did (or didn't do) could only reflect that. We were doomed from the start.
A couple of weeks ago, I knew it was time to contact him. To take full responsibility for my own actions, and let him off the hook. The last I'd heard, he'd moved across the country, so I made a coffee date with our mutual friend, and planned to ask her for his number.
He beat me to it.
I was stunned when I saw his name in my email inbox. It was surreal and wonderful to hear his voice when we spoke on the phone a few days later. I was able to say all those things I needed to say, and release the blame, sadness, and guilt I'd carried for years.
I no longer feel incomplete with him, and I am beyond grateful for the possibility of a new relationship. He is someone I truly care about and want to stand by in this world. I have compassion for him now, and want to be a great friend where I couldn't be a great girlfriend. It feels like a miracle.
I'm convinced that human beings are deeply connected on a level far beyond the physical. We pick up each other's signals and communicate in ways we're not consciously aware of.
I've been contacting many friends and family members these last couple months, acknowledging messes I've made and cleaning them up. The universe is magic; it senses our actions of love and responds in kind, sending us even more opportunities to restore and create love. Sometimes when we least expect it.

Isuzu says has capacity to make 30 mass transit buses monthlyThursday, December 6, 2018 20:45
Isuzu East Africa will assemble up to 30 high-capacity vehicles a month for the planned bus rapid transit system (BRT) in Nairobi, the latest indication that the move to have separate lanes is still on course.
The firm's director for manufacturing Emmanuel Ogot said the high-capacity buses, whose prototype the firm unveiled in October would be assembled using the new body construction standards.
The standards, referred to as KS372:2014, came into effect in May 2017.
They are intended to ensure uniformity of all passenger vehicles and improve safety on the roads.
"From our side, we are coming up with a solution to address mass transportation of passengers in the city and from a production capacity, we can do up to 30 high-capacity vehicles per month," he said.
The government has been sending mixed signals on the BRT project, at times appearing to be keen on its quick implementation but at other times being hesitant to make investments needed for its realisation.
"We are still modifying some aspects in the product and this will dictate how much a single unit will sell. It could be somewhere in the tune of Sh12 million," said Mr Ogot.
The government is set to launch six BRT corridors in Nairobi in a move aimed at reducing traffic congestion within the capital city.
Priority corridors are Jomo Kenyatta International Airport-Likoni-James Gichuru-Rironi and Bomas-Ruiru roads.
Others roads also identified for the corridors include Ngong road-Juja, Mama Lucy-T-Mall and Balozi to Imara roads.
At their optimum capacity, the corridors will hold up to 950 BRT buses, reducing time and cost of travel by up to 70 per cent.
By last month, the Sh9.6 billion Nairobi Bus Rapid Transit plan had received a major boost after the European Union committed a Sh5 billion grant towards its implementation.

Forget studded tires or chains — when you need the capability to get pretty much anywhere in the harshest of wintry conditions, you need tracks. Like the ones on the Nissan Rogue Warrior Snow Track Crossover. This snow-centric concept has seen its wheels replaced by a Dominator track system measuring 15″ across, 30″ high, and 48″ long. Joining the tracks are a modified suspension, custom snow guards, and minor body tunings, but apart from that the Rogue remains stock, including its Xtronic transmission and AWD drivetrain. Capable of hitting 62 mph in groomed snow, it has a 23″ ground clearance, and will be on a lot of wish lists when the next big snow hits.

Ms. Pelosi's allies have characterized the opposition as driven primarily by men, a feature underscored by the letter, which is signed by only two women, Representatives Kathleen Rice of New York and Linda T. Sánchez of California.
Among those who have called for fresh faces are members of the Congressional Black Caucus, who have said someone from their ranks should get one of the two top slots in the event of any vacancy. But no member of the group signed the letter, including Representative Marcia Fudge, 66, whose name was conspicuously absent.
Ms. Fudge said last week that she would consider running for speaker and had previously signed a draft of the defectors' missive, according to Democratic aides who insisted on anonymity to discuss the process of gathering signatures. A spokeswoman for Ms. Fudge did not respond on Monday to an inquiry about why the congresswoman removed her name. But one person familiar with the discussions, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, noted that Mr. Ryan had removed his name from a similar letter in 2016, in preparation for his run against Ms. Pelosi.
Allies of Ms. Pelosi swung into action Monday, rallying to her side as her office trickled out endorsements from critical constituencies. Representative Jimmy Panetta of California put out a letter signed by eight other Democrats who are veterans in which they praised her commitment to their issues and her national security bona fides.
Representative Dwight Evans of Pennsylvania also released a letter, praising Ms. Pelosi's "stamina" and crediting her with holding Democrats together on critical issues. Pelosi aides provided a copy of a letter from Harold A. Schaitberger, the general president of the International Association of Firefighters, who praised her "fortitude, leadership, tenacity and courage."
Even as Ms. Pelosi braced for a challenge, Mr. Clyburn appeared to fend one off. Representative Diana DeGette of Colorado said she was dropping her bid to challenge him.
Her withdrawal means that in the face of escalating discussion about the need for fresh faces to lead Democrats, the tally of lawmakers who have declared their intentions to run against one of the top three leaders — all with a decade or more of service at the helm of their party — stands at zero.

Dr Paul Charlson discusses the use of cryotherapy for benign dermatologic concerns in aesthetic practice and how it can benefit both your patients and business
Cyrotherapy is an established treatment for dermatological lesions and can be used for a variety of conditions including benign lesions such as viral warts, seborrheic keratosis, sebaceous hyperplasia, haemangiomas and lentigo, and pre-malignant lesions including actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease.
Many, if not most, GPs in the UK will no longer provide cryotherapy through the NHS for benign lesions.1 In fact, in November 2018 the NHS released the Evidence-Based Interventions: Guidance for CCGs document, which states in its update description for the removal of benign skin lesions that they 'cannot be offered for cosmetic reasons' and should only be offered in situations where the lesion is causing symptoms outlined in at least one of its criteria. Some examples of criteria include: the lesion is unavoidably and significantly traumatised on a regular basis, repeated infection, regular bleeding, regular pain and impacts function.2
I have found that many GPs also don't offer treatment on a private basis, so there is certainly a gap in the market for aesthetic practitioners to do so. I believe that cryotherapy has become a more common and popular treatment in non-surgical aesthetic clinics and is a useful addition to your current treatment portfolio. In this article, I will explore the clinical aspects behind its use for treating cosmetic benign lesions, and also touch on the benefits it can bring to you from a business perspective.
Firstly, it's important to recognise that the training requirements needed to identify and diagnose appropriate lesions for cryotherapy are different to those required for performing the actual cryotherapy treatment.
The practitioner must have the ability to make the correct clinical diagnosis of the lesion before treating it. This requires significant dermatological training to be considered safe and usually only general practitioners with extended roles (GPwER) or dermatologists can do this. Some dermatology nurse specialists and consultant dermatology nurses who have undertaken extensive post-graduate dermatology training may, as part of their extended scope of practice, be trained and assessed as competent to assess, diagnose and treat some skin lesions.3,4
Of course, a verruca on a young person's foot is likely to be fairly obvious, but an apparent wart in an elderly person may be a squamous cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer. Pigmented lesions are of particular concern as treating them inappropriately with cryotherapy can alter the histology and prolong overall time to diagnosis,5 which is crucial in melanomas.
Practitioners must therefore be trained in recognising such lesions for safe diagnosis before treatment.
If you do not have the skills in diagnosing, you could ask your patient to obtain a diagnosis from their GP (with qualifications explained above) so that you can still perform the actual treatment in your clinic.
If the lesion is diagnosed as benign, then the GP can refer to you for treatment. As mentioned, many GPs will not provide cryotherapy through the NHS nor on a private basis, so they will sometimes be relieved to have a provider they can trust to refer their patients onto.
As with many skin-related treatments that are classified as cosmetic, one does not need to be a medical professional, just trained in performing the procedure.
The practitioner must have the ability to make
the correct clinical diagnosis of the lesion before treating it
Personally, however, I only endorse that medical professionals, with appropriate training, perform this procedure in a clinical environment as there are possible clinical side effects (Table 1).6 Practitioners must have good knowledge and understanding of the equipment, treatment protocols and methods for the device employed, which can usually be obtained from your device provider. Like many treatments in aesthetics, insurance is what determines whether or not you are able to perform cryotherapy treatments, and there are several providers available.
Cryotherapy is defined as the local or general use of low temperatures in medical therapy, and refers to the removal of skin lesions by freezing. The procedure works by cellular and vascular injury to the tissue.7 There are several methods for delivering cryotherapy, such as liquid nitrogen, those that employ vapourisation of a volatile liquid to create cooling, and others that use nitrous oxide. As my experience lies in liquid nitrogen, I will be discussing this approach. The advantage of liquid nitrogen cyrospray is that it reaches colder temperatures than other methods,8,9,10 which I find achieves superior results.
However, the disadvantages are that it requires a large storage dewar and an appropriate safe storage space,11 while other methods are more ready to hand and economical for purchase. The clinic will also require regular deliveries of liquid nitrogen to utilise this approach.
The treatment is usually delivered by a cryotherapy spray or probe that is connected to a reservoir of liquid nitrogen, which is at a temperature of -196°C. Using an open spray of liquid nitrogen creates an ice ball, the depth of which is roughly equal to the lateral spread.12 Much is known about the efficacy of liquid nitrogen,13,14 and guidelines for treatment are well established.15
As mentioned above, many skin conditions can be treated using cryotherapy. The types of benign skin lesions that are suitable for this treatment include actinic keratosis, solar lentigo, seborrheic keratosis, viral wart, molluscum contagiosum, and dermatofibroma.16
It should be noted that the efficacy of treatment depends on the condition; cryotherapy for solar lentigo is considered by some to be the treatment of choice, for example,17 whilst others suggest laser may be better.18 Other lesions such as keloid scars that have been treated with cryotherapy plus steroid injection have shown positive results.19 Some conditions are easier to treat through cryotherapy than others – for example, some cells such as melanocytes are easily damaged by cold, whereas others such as fibroblasts are very resistant to cold. There is a comprehensive list of lesions that can be safely treated with cryotherapy in Cutaneous Cryosurgery.12
As diagnosis involves comprehensive assessment and training, and differs for each condition, I will not be discussing this in detail. Once a diagnosis has been made, cryotherapy treatment is fairly simple. An informed consent must be obtained and the side effects of cryotherapy outlined. These are outlined in the British Association of Dermatologists' Patient Information Leaflets, which I issue to my patients (Table 1).6 Once consent is obtained, it is useful to apply a topical anaesthetic cream such as EMLA and de-bulk the most hyperkeratotic lesions before treatment. This removes the excess lesion; I often break a tongue depressor by twisting it and scraping off the excess material or use a scalpel.
There are a variety of ways to treat with liquid nitrogen and the kits supplied usually have different nozzle sizes. I find that it is useful to use the disposable ear cones that come with otoscopes as they can be cut to a lesion size to funnel the spray.
The lesion is sprayed from about 1cm away until an ice ball forms around it, which should be maintained for the number of seconds required in the protocol, which are well-established and are different for each lesion. More information on these protocols can be found in Cutaneous Cyrosurgery.21
Feathering is a method I use to blend the edges of the treatment area, which is particularly important for pigmented lesions because a white centre and a pigmented edge can otherwise form. With most benign lesions, a single freeze thaw cycle, rather than several in one treatment, is all that is required. Other methods that can be used are cotton buds and artery forceps dipped in liquid nitrogen, or the use of a solid probe, which contacts the lesion directly. Repeat treatment intervals vary.21
From a business perspective, setting up a cryotherapy service is extremely rewarding as it can give your patients great satisfaction and can be extremely profitable and simple to set up, when you have the appropriate training.
Although there are other possible treatment approaches, such as lasers, for conditions like viral warts, seborrheic keratosis, sebaceous hyperplasia, haemangiomas and lentigo, cryotherapy can be a more economical option for you as a business.
Purchasing a dewar and canister costs about £2,000 and a year's delivery of liquid nitrogen is around £400. I charge £150 for two treatments, which makes the system quickly profitable.
After the initial consultation of around 20 minutes, the actual treatment takes only seconds and the follow-up consultation takes around 15 minutes, which I usually do a month later. Note that sometimes patients need repeat treatments and a second or third may be required.
Storage and handling of liquid nitrogen is straightforward and as long as you have a safe, locked, vented area in your clinic, it is reasonable to store the dewar there.11 Filling the canister reservoir requires gloves and eye protection, but is easy and quick. A good protocol for storage has been compiled by North Devon Hospitals.18
I have found my cryotherapy equipment very useful as part of my clinic treatment portfolio and it's a particularly good additional profit stream. When looking to offer this service in your clinic, the key point is that all skin lesions require a correct diagnosis before treatment; never treat if you do not know the diagnosis of the lesion and do not have sufficient training. It is important to be familiar with the equipment that you purchase, use the correct treatment protocol for the lesion, and ensure you obtain informed consent from your patient.
