Click HERE to register!
Once again Wildsight Golden is offering to subsidize up to 5 children this summer to participate in the camp with a subsidy of $100 per child per summer to help defray the costs of the camp. This can be used to either put your child in camp for two whole days for free, or to reduce the costs of a week long registration to $90. If you would like to take advantage of this, write a note to Camp Coordinator Victoria Rozon at email@example.com, explaining the reason why you would like the subsidy.

One of the great joys of summer is concerts in the park. Just grab a blanket or a couple of low-backed chairs, a bottle of wine, and your favorite foods to snack on. Then sit back and enjoy the summer and the sounds. But this activity, as delightful as it is, has its own hazards: rarely is the ground ever level enough to support your wine bottle and wine glasses, so you risk not only making a mess, but losing some of your delicious wine.
You want something that is effective, but doesn't take a sherpa to schlepp it.
One great answer comes from True...
The True Picnic Stix are chrome and stick easily in the ground.
The wine glass Picnic Stix easily accommodate either a stemmed glass or the wonderful govino. They slip easily into any backpack or picnic basket and will make a huge difference to your enjoyment of your outing. Don't leave home without them!
The wine bottle Picnic Stix is large enough to hold most 750ml wine bottles, and keep them level and within easy reach. If this enables you to keep one bottle of wine from tipping over and spilling, then you've more than paid for this great wine bottle holder.
A Cool Tool for sure, and a great hostess gift for your wine-loving friends.

My son graduated from Rutgers-Camden's Honor's College in 2010, and my daughter will be graduating from Princeton University June 2014! I am so grateful to God that my husband and I have raised two wonderful, self-sufficient children. I was a stay-at-home mom from the time they were born until now. It probably would make more sense for me to call myself a stay-at–home-student-dancer-tutor-author- mom. For the first 14 years of my marriage, I went to school part-time until I got my degree.
The next 13 years, I ran a tutoring business from my home. Before I registered the business, I asked my children if they were okay with me teaching other children in our home afer school. I explained that they both did so well in school, that I felt I had the time to help other children in our neighborhood. They were excited about it. In fact, I even employed them for awhile because to be quite honest with you, there were many things they knew that I did not know like how to operate those fancy new calculators. When I taught algebra, I was still drawing graphs by hand!
With the cooperation of my own children, I managed to tutor about 25 students a week for quite some time. It was the ideal job for me. I was home every day my children came home from school and…oh well, let me correct that because my daughter refused to ride the school bus when she was in middle school. She said the kids were too crazy. I thought she was exaggerating until I started picking her up from school. Crazy was an understatement. She insisted on going to prep school for high school, and even though it was an academically sound school, my daughter discovered that those students were crazy, too. A different kind of hateful crazy. I will have to write a blog on that some day. After a huge truck almost ran into her car on 295 and she drove on the curb a few times, I started driving her to and from school every day. I don't like driving at all, but I would do anything to make my children's lives more comfortable.
And I did. For the past 26 1/2 years, my husband and I put our children first. That doesn't mean we didn't do anything for ourselves. We vacationed alone sometimes and we had our individual hobbies, but it was completely different than it is now. Now, it is our turn. Well, sort of lol
We have a grandson on the way, our first grandchild. My son and his wife are having a baby boy! I am so excited, and my husband is just nuts because his name is going to be Jeffrey! Folks keep asking what "Super Little Jeffrey" is going to call me. My daughter calls him "Super Little Jeffrey" because my son was always called "Little Jeffrey." Maybe we will just call my son by his nickname so we can call his son "Little Jeffrey," until he gets to be taller than his dad like my son.
What was I saying? Oh yeah, I am going to have my grandson call me, "Grandmom!" Yes, I am! That is what I am going to be, and I am proud of it. I don't want to be called "MeMom" or "Glam Mom" or any of those even stranger names for folks who don't want to be known as grandmothers. Well, I am speculating, maybe they have other reasons for not being called Grandmom.
So…another question folks ask me is if I am experiencing empty nest syndrome. Not really. I feel like my nest has been empty for 4 years. My daughter was in school all fall and winter and she studied overseas in the summer. She has spent more time away from home than at home over her college career. The great thing is, my sister had a baby a few years ago. I call him my nephewbaby. He and I are very close. Now she has a baby girl, who looks just like my daughter when she was a baby. And my grandson is on the way, and guess who is lucky enough to be watching him? Me! His mother is working on her PhD, so "Super Little Jeffrey" and I are going to have a wonderful time. So when is it my time? Rearing the children in the family IS my time. It is the joy of my life!
I still tutor from time to time. I just don't have the mental stamina to tutor 25 students a week anymore! I also teach dance, and as you probably know, I am an author. I am the president of the Women's Ministry at my church. My husband and I are taking some classes (MIT) together and I am going back to school to get my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at Rutgers-Camden. My goal is to publish more books and teach Creative Writing at a university.
Well I have been just writing this without editing, so I hope you weren't too bored. I haven't been on here in awhile so I figured I would catch you up on some things.
By the way,Camden's MFA program is great. You can check it out here: http://mfa.camden.rutgers.edu/
I am also diligently working on my next devotional. Maybe I will share an excerpt from it this week. You can let me know what you think about it. Honestly.
Oh, i am too..tired to revise or even read this over tonight. I hope it makes some kind of sense.
Oh well! Sleep Well!

Do you have a craving for challenge? Are you longing for real adventure? This package is for you then. We are excited to take you to conquer Mt. Semeru, the highest peak of Java island. Looming at the altitude of 3676 meters asl, this active volcano offers endless nature beauty all the way up. The journey will be started at remote mountain village named Ranu Pani. It has beautiful lake that will absolutely make you more excited to soon ascend the mountain. You will then walk through narrow path in the middle of lush jungle for four hours. It's tiring, yes, but as you reach Ranu Kumbolo, you know it is worth the hard work. Ranu Kumbolo is a mountain lake nestling among grassy valley which becomes the most famous spot here on Mt. Semeru.
From here, the view will be more spectacular. You'll finally arrive at huge savanna which is overgrown with edelweiss and beautiful purple flowers. Walking through this garden, you will then find lava flow from the latest eruption. The mountain top is so obvious from here as well as the barren steep path to the summit. No trees there, only slippery sandy trail with dozens of gravels and huge stones that are easily to fall off. But once you pass through the deadly trail, amazing sunrise moment is yours to enjoy. And on the last day of the journey, we'll set a tent just at the bank of lake Ranu Kumbolo to more appreciate the pristine mountain nature and sunrise over the lake. It sounds cool, right?
Mt. Semeru is located in Malang area and this adventure is just a perfect choice for those living in the city or in the neighboring Batu and Probolinggo cities. Please find the complete itinerary in the following detail:

"I have called you by name; you are mine." – Isaiah 43:1
Have you ever had the experience of a confessor who was able to read your soul – who revealed something that you have never disclosed to anyone? I did, and my call story is inextricably linked to that experience.
The year was 2002, the location was by the shore of Lake Ontario, Canada; it was World Youth Day (it turned out to be Pope St. John Paul's last) and the organisers had temporarily renamed the park as Duc in Altum park, turning it into a huge open-air confessional with adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament. I had gone early for confessions, hoping to use the rest of the day for some browsing and shopping. I picked an English-speaking confessor with the shortest line – the Priest was unknown to me but there was a sign that indicated that he could hear confessions in French/English. Confessions were heard face-to-face, so once I settled in my chair before the Priest, I shut my eyes tight and confessed my usual sins, as I usually did, expecting that he would do the confessor's usual bit and quickly send me off.
Except that he didn't. After confessing my sins, the Priest was silent, and he was silent for a long time, perhaps as long as a minute. By then I was as much annoyed as I was embarrassed. Did I make a boo-boo and go to the wrong line? Perhaps because my eyes were shut, he couldn't tell me that he didn't understand a word I had said? I opened my eyes, and there was the Priest in front of me, his head bowed, seemingly in prayer. I didn't know what to do – I was about to pick up my bag, get up and look for another confessor. But at that moment, the Priest spoke. And what he said shocked me to the core: for the first thing he said was nothing about my sins, instead it was about something that I did not mention during my confession – in fact, something I had never spoken of to anyone before – about my tussle with my mum regarding my vocation. I recognised immediately that only God could have revealed it to him. I broke down and cried, my first-time crying uncontrollably at the celebration of the Sacrament. Try as I did, I just couldn't stop my tears flowing – if others nearby thought that I was a terrible sinner overwhelmed by the mercy of God, they wouldn't be too far off – for that was my first experience of how merciful our God is – He knew the tensions I was struggling with and He cared enough to tell me that He knows in such an expected way. At the end of the confession, the Priest said to me "God has given you a compassionate heart – use it in the service of His people."
Now a bit about my mum: she is a very good, prayerful and holy Catholic woman. It is largely to her credit that I enjoy both the gifts of life and of faith. For I am the third child in my family and I was born at a time when families were encouraged to have only 2 children – from the Government's perspective, I simply should not have been. So I am grateful to my mum and dad for giving me the gift of life, despite their poverty, despite the state policy. And my own faith was kindled by my mum's deep faith in Jesus – she was active in the Charismatic movement when I was a young boy. So when my mum told me, as I was preparing for Confirmation at St. Michael's, that God was not calling me to the Priesthood, I happily accepted that as God's direction. I wasn't thinking particularly of the Priesthood anyway – I wanted prestige, honour, power. I was blessed to be able to read Physics and Mathematics at Cornell University, USA, from 1999 – 2003, and I was fixed on becoming a teacher after I graduate and dreamt of climbing the Public Service ladder.
So what changed? There's a line from the Prophet Jeremiah that describes what happened to me very well: You seduced me, Lord, and I let myself be seduced (Jeremiah 20:7 NABRE). Just a year before my World Youth Day experience, in 2001, I took part in a Catholic studies programme with a group of American students, and at the end of the programme was a mini-retreat. At that retreat, I heard, for the first time in my life, a little voice that said to me: "Simon, there are no coincidences in your life, everything that is happening to you is part of my plan". The thought of Priesthood came into my mind and that thought never died down. The more I thought about it, the more it grew, yet my mum was still saying that God was not calling me to the Priesthood. My mum was way more prayerful than I was, so I was getting frustrated within and with God. This was the context for the World Youth Day experience.
Now you might have thought that I was raring to join the seminary after this God-encounter. I admit that I was afraid and I didn't, thankfully on hindsight, ride through rough shod over my mum's objection. I used my time of service as a teacher as an excuse to God that He had to wait. And boy can God wait patiently. I loved my work as a teacher, but eventually God was the stronger and He prevailed, and I had to explore this possible call to the Priesthood, despite my great love for teaching, despite my mum's continuing objection.
I am going to end my sharing with some words about how God worked on my mum. By 2012, my mum was aware that I was seriously considering a possible call to the Priesthood, and one day she asked me to read Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 3:16. If you don't know what it is, you're not alone – I didn't either. But when I opened my Bible, I was disappointed, even hurt, by what I read there. And I asked God what He meant by this – I was angry with Him and with myself. But in mid-2012, my mum, who still keeps up her prayer-life, felt quite certain that God was asking her to do something to glorify Him. My mum was then nearing her 70s, and she was having her own set of health problems, so she couldn't understand what God was asking of her to glorify Him – surely she couldn't take part in Charismatic healing services as in yesteryears? She spoke with Msgr. Francis Lau about her inspiration, and I remember what she reported as Msgr. Lau's answer to her: "Don't worry. In good time, God will reveal to you what it is He is asking of you." Around the third quarter of 2012, my mum received further clarification in prayer: she felt certain that God wanted her to do something to glorify Him, and she could do so without having to leave the house. It was only gradually that my mum was able to link this gentle request from God with my possible call to serve Him in the Priesthood. It wasn't easy for my mum to let me go, for I was my mum's primary care provider since I returned from the States, but I see the time from when my mum finally gave me her blessings to join the seminary on the Feast of Christ the King in 2013 till now as a time of growth and grace in which God is working.
The journey in the seminary hasn't been a bed of roses. There are ups and downs, joys and sorrows. But through these, or rather, because of these, I have been strengthened in faith in God's presence and endless love for me – He is the One who is guiding and forming me through all the twists and turns. And I am humbled and overawed that God, the Creator and Master of all that is, should have looked upon me, a mere creature with so many weaknesses and sins, and pursued me with such care and tenderness. Who am I that I should be invited into such an intimate friendship with my Creator? What am I, with all my weaknesses, that He invites me to bear His burden with Him? How does it happen that the Lord asks me so gently to allow Him to bear my own burdens?
And so I ask you, my dear friends in Christ, to pray for me – that my little heart will be so inflamed with the love of God that I will be a worthy Priest for you, a true shepherd after the Sacred Heart of our Good Shepherd. Humbled by God's boundless love. Proud to be called.
Oh, Lord my God.
You called me from the sleep of nothingness
merely because in your tremendous love
you want to make good and beautiful beings.
You have called me by my name in my mother's womb.
You have given me breath and light and movement
and walked with me every moment of my existence.
I am amazed, Lord God of the universe,
that you attend to me and, more, cherish me.
Create in me the faithfulness that moves you,
and I will trust you and yearn for you all my days.
– "You Have Called Me by Name" by Joseph Tetlow SJ

Last night, I went over to Nancy's to make a penis cake. It wasn't very hard (heh) because all we had to do was mix up all the ingredients and pour it in the mold, but I felt confident that if anyone could mess up cake from a box, I could. I didn't, though. So there. On the way home, I talked to my mom and NOW I BRING YOU a Conversation with My Mother:
Me: Hi, Mom.
Mom: Hey, what are you doing?
Me: Driving.
Mom: Oh, where are you going?
Me: I was at Nancy's.
Mom: Doing what?
Me: Making a penis cake.
Mom: Okaaaay.
Me: It's for Erin's bachelorette party this weekend.
Mom: Oh, I see. You just made the penis?
Me: Um, yes?
Mom: . . .
Me: Why?
Mom: Oh, no reason, I was just going to say something very crass.
Me: Well, thank you for keeping it to yourself.
Mom: It was going to be something about testicles.
Me: Mom! And anyway, the penis had balls attached.
Mom: Oh, OK.
Me: Also, we made pubic hair.
Mom: OK, Jennie, I didn't need to know that.
Me: It's just coconut shavings and food coloring.
Mom: You could have been like the guys from Jackass and used real pubic hair.
Me: OH MY GOD.
Later, I told Heidi about it and we laughed and laughed because is there anything funnier than moms saying "pubic hair?" I don't think so.
Heidi: I can't believe your mom said that.
Me: I know. Although, now I know where I get it from.
Heidi: That's true.
Me: I always thought it was from my dad, but it turns out it's my mom.
Heidi: Who knew?
Me: Or maybe it's from both of them.
Heidi: That would explain a lot.
Me: Man, I'm screwed.
When I got home from making the penis cake, I changed and put my gym clothes on. I had my mp3 player, membership card, and keys in my hand and then decided I didn't want to go. I took my shoes and socks off and sat down at the computer and then had this crazy mess of thoughts: You should go to the gym. Just go. You're already wearing your gym clothes. JUST GO. But if you go, you won't be home until almost 10 and you might miss some of Lost. Who cares, you're TiVoing it. Yeah, but you still have to fold some laundry and iron. Or you could not wear that shirt you were planning on wearing and you wouldn't have to iron. But you'd still have to fold laundry. Just go. Go. You went to all that trouble of putting a sports bra on, seriously just go. Plus, if you don't go, Heidi is going to come home and ask what you did tonight and all you'll have to tell her is 'made a penis cake and sat around playing on the Internets' and then she'll make fun of you, do you want that? No. Get off your ass and go.
So, I went. And almost immediately regretted it because all the elliptical machines with the TVs attached were taken, so I had to go into the Cardio Cinema and the movie they were playing was Employee of the Month. Starring Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson. I don't know if you know how I feel about them but if I were stuck on a deserted island and had to decide which one to eat for survival or sacrifice to appease the Volcano Gods? I would volunteer to jump into the Volcano myself because I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with either one of them. Luckily, when I went in, it was toward the end of the movie so the credits took up a lot of the time I was in there. But could they have assembled any more annoying people to star in that movie? Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson, Dax Shepard, ANDY DICK, and that guy from Half-Baked who gets throw in jail. You know the one I mean? He was in Sorority Boys, too. Also There's Something About Mary, talking about seven being the key number and chipmunks on a branch. Oh man, why do I know this? I watch too much TV. Also, too many movies. I will HANDS DOWN KICK YOUR ASS at Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Anyway. Did I tell you the other night we broke our garbage disposal? Well, I say WE broke it but really it was all Heidi. Hee. Sorry, Heidi. This is the fourth kitchen appliance we have broken (it goes: stove, dishwasher, freezer, garbage disposal, and also my toilet). Heidi said when she called the apartment complex lady to tell her it was broken, the lady asked how we knew and when Heidi told her I had Googled "clogged garbage disposal" and Google said never, ever put celery in the garbage disposal, she laughed and laughed for the rest of the phone call. I don't know why. I thought everyone Googled everything and if you don't believe me I'll Google you RIGHT NOW I swear I will.

It seems like the trend of rehashing old classics is here to stay in Bollywood with Jacqueline Fernandez being the latest entrant in the club. The makers of Baaghi 2 released the track on Monday with the new rendition opening to mixed reactions. Most people feel that there is a creative shortage in the music industry which is making musicians revisit the old classics. There is no problem in getting inspired by a song or recreating it, but the fact that songs are being ruined for making money is what has prompted strict action from the lawmakers.
The music lovers association of India (MLA) has approached the law ministry to form strict laws to tackle this growing menace. Law ministry headed by Mr. Ravi Shankar Prasad has promised strict rules to tackle the problem. He has promised that soon Remixing of old songs will be made a criminal offense. Any musician will first have to launch a trailer of the remixed song for people to judge whether he has ruined the old classic or not and based on the response he/she will be allowed to release the full version. The full version of the remixed song will be launched according to the guidelines set by the law ministry and it would keep in mind that they are not ruining the old classic.
Speaking about the punishment that would be handed out to the makers of remixes, Ravi Shankar Prasad said that they will be made to listen to their own songs and feel the pain which music lovers feel. According to him no other punishment would be as harsh as this. This announcement has created shivers in the music industry and most of the musicians have finally started to think about original ideas or inspired ideas to keep away from getting punished.

What are your favorite movies about white collar crime? One of my favorites is the Alfred Hitchcock classic movie, Psycho, starring Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins, as the infamous Norman Bates. You might not have considered this horror classic to be a movie about white collar crime. But, in one sense, the plot actually revolves around it. You will recall that Ms. Leigh's character ended up at the Bates Motel after she had embezzled $40,000 in cash from her employer. Of course, thereafter, what Norman Bates did to her was certainly not a white collar crime!
Again, what are some of your favorite movies which involve white collar crime?

Essentials for Cold Damage Disorders and Prescriptions, in Two Juan
Li Cheng, style name Yuji, a physician during the Southern Song dynasty, was a native of Gushu (in present-day Anhui Province). Although he served as a secretary in the cabinet, Li was mainly known for his medical knowledge. He rearranged the work of the Han dynasty physician Zhang Zhongjing (active 168−96), entitled Shang han za bing lun (Treatise on cold pathogens and miscellaneous diseases). Zhang's work was later organized by Jin and Song dynasty physicians into two books, one of them with the title of Shang han lun (On cold damage). Li Cheng's compilation differs in listing first the prescriptions, then the classified categories. He named his work Shang han yao zhi (Essentials for cold damage diseases and prescriptions). Li Cheng's other works were Shang han zhi fa cuo yao (Summaries of treatments of cold damage disorders) and Xiao er bao sheng fang (Prescriptions for infant care), but neither of them has survived. This work, Shang han yao zhi yao fang (Essentials for cold damage disorders and prescriptions), in two juan, was printed in the seventh year of Qiandao of the Southern Song (1171). Juan one contains prescriptions drawn from a Northern Song edition of Shang han lun, issued by the Bureau for Revision of Medical Classics, from which Li selected and recorded more than 100 prescriptions. Juan two contains the essentials for treating cold disorders, with 172 entries selected from the Shang han lun. Also included are ten entries of "do's and don'ts." The work is of great practical use, and with the simple text of the Northern Song edition, it provides a significant resource for the study of the development and dissemination of Shang han lun and of its revised editions. Just a year prior to the printing of this work, another great work, Hong shi ji yan fang (Hong's collection of effective prescriptions), was published and was in the private collection of Huang Pilie (1763−1825). This copy of Li Cheng's work was owned by the bibliophile Pan Zongzhou (1867−1939) in his private library called Baolitang. In 1950 the descendants of Pan donated the book to the National Library of China.

Early Praise for Naming the Unnameable
"Matthew Fox elegantly offers a contemplative practice that transforms the names of God to the experience of God." –Deepak Chopra MD
"These are not just names but 89 theories of God across the ages and the planet, each focusing on the characteristic it deems most divine. Matthew Fox leads us on a startling and beautiful journey through humanity's capacity to envision God, showing every way of looking at God is legitimate if it raises the aspirations of its adherents and their ability to carry them out. Is there objectively a God? What 'God' even means explodes in this little book like fireworks in the mind."
–Nancy Abrams, author of A God That Could Be Real
"How refreshing! Fox shows how we can think about God in so many different ways, freeing our minds and liberating our imaginations. It is easy not to believe the narrow conception of God that atheists do not believe in, but it is hard not to be inspired by a God who is energy, breath, life, flow, love, joy and the cause of wonder. This book is timely, important and admirably brief; it is also open-ended—there are always more names to come, and none can exhaust God's nature."
–Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, author of The Presence of the Past
"Matthew Fox leads us on an important yet easily absorbable exploration of the multiplicity of forms in which we perceive the Divine in our lives. While we so readily seek to differentiate, define or even dispel the sacred, we desperately need teachers like Fox who show us the unity in diversity. I suspect that anyone can find some names in this book that resonate for them, whether scientist or artist, believer or atheist, old or young, female or male. Fox's depth of insight and abundant compassion is felt throughout the pages as he helps us embrace and share in the wholeness of who We are."
–Sky Nelson-Isaacs, M.Sc. Physics and author of Living in Flow
"Naming the Unnameable offers a smorgasbord of spiritual delights that will enrich the prayer life of both believers and nonbelievers. Fox's radiant images and creative appellations transform the generic 'God' into a vibrant, intimate Source for personal communion. Even those who have abandoned conventional religion will find wisdom and inspiration in these beautifully articulated reflections."
–Estelle Frankel, author of Sacred Therapy and The Wisdom of Not Knowing
"In Naming the Unnameable, Matthew Fox generously brings 'God' down to Earth and us into contact with the Great Mystery that dances all around and within us. He brings the arch of Western Religion back home …and with it, opens up a sense of the sacred for all to experience all-ways."
—Skylar Wilson, co-author with Matthew Fox and Jennifer Berit Listug of Order of the Sacred Earth
"There is a call of profound importance echoing around the world and Matthew Fox is one of those whose empowering courage has given it real depth, resonance, and imagination. Naming the Unnameable is an invitation to deep reflection and the emergence of our true embodied humanity. It is a book of wonderment, of stillness, and it calls us home. Fox gives voice to some of the innumerable names by which we know the numinous mystery of divinity. Should we accept his invitation to courageous contemplation and the unfolding wonderment that would be sure to follow, we may indeed find our way to the global renaissance we so urgently need."
–Mac Macartney, author of The Invisible Path
"I've always experienced the Divine as expressing through everything around me: the squirrel chattering up the oak tree, the waves crashing on the shore, my baby boy looking me in the eyes. Matthew Fox in Naming the Unnameable allows us to explore all of the many and dynamic ways that God speaks and breathes and plays in the world."
–Jennifer Berit Listug, co-author with Matthew Fox and Skylar Wilson of Order of the Sacred Earth
"This is a simple book written by a brilliant man who gives us a democratic vision of the names of God. It will be sure to appeal to readers of many faiths, scientists, and nature lovers as well."
–Steven Herrmann, author of Spiritual Democracy

Finally - a simple way to understand what's different in SAP S/4HANA
SAP are telling customers they must move to S/4HANA before the 2025 end of support deadline for ECC.
But, if you're like most SAP customers, what you know about S/4HANA ends there.
- 63% of SAP customers don't know what's different in S/4HANA
- 75% don't know what has been simplified
- 80% don't know what's been completely removed from S/4HANA
S/4Sight can help.
Confused about SAP S/4 HANA?
SAP has published plenty of information about S/4HANA. However, much of this information is complex, fragmented, and technical.
Take the S/4HANA Simplification Item Catalog: a 900 page PDF that explains every technical nuance of S/4.
To the average user it's too complex, and extracting information is a difficult and time consuming challenge.
So how can you build your S/4 business case?
Just like the SAP Simplification Item Catalogue, the Fiori App Library and the What's New Viewer are too dense and provide too much information for the average user.
The problem is, you can't build your business case for S/4HANA without understanding what's changed, which means you need to interpret the information in these complex documents. That's where S/4Sight comes in.
Understand what's new in SAP S/4HANA
S/4Sight is the only cloud-based software solution that enables SAP customers to quickly understand the impact of moving to S/4HANA.
S/4Sight enables you to visualise S/4HANA features for each functional area or module of S/4HANA, helping you to better understand how S/4 affects your programme.
All of SAP's published information in one online tool
S/4Sight takes all of the data from the SAP Simplification Item Catalogue, the Fiori App Library, and the What's New Viewer and visualises it as an easy to understand graph.
The data follows a logical structure that will be familiar to all SAP users, and you have the ability to search and filter to find the exact information you need in an instant.
Book an S/4Sight demo
Search and filter
S/4Sight can search, filter and visualise what's different in S/4HANA in a clear, intuitive way - so that you can explore features and obstacles with your business.
Logical and easy to use
Identify new Fiori Apps, including Transactional Fiori Apps, Analytical Fiori Apps, and Reuse Components - all visualised and relating to each functional area.
Accelerated discovery
Visualise the S/4HANA Simplification Item Catalog - breaking the 900 page PDF contents into digestible components.
Codifies SAP's published data
See information from the Simplification Item Catalogue, The Fiori App Library and the What's New Viewer in one place.

""Anastasia Nikolaevna, the youngest of the Grand Duchesses, seemed to be not of flesh and blood, but of mercury. She was very funny and have certainly a knack for pantomime. She knew how to find funny aspects in everything and adored different pranks. I think, She would be a wonderful comedy actress"."
"She had less regular face features compared to her sisters, but her features were very mobile. She was braver than other sisters and sharp-witted. <...> Anastasia, with her undeveloped character, was expected to be very bright""
""It is quite conceivable that Anastasia Nikolaevna would eventually become the most attractive of all the sisters. She had regular and delicate features, blond hair, wonderful eyes, in the depth of which laughter sparkles played, and dark almost joined eyebrows. All this made the youngest of the Grand Duchesses absolutely different from any of her sisters. Her appearance more likely referred not to the paternal, but to the maternal line". "
""The Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna despite her mature seventeen-years-old age was still a real child. She made such an impression mainly due to her appearance and her cheerful disposition. She was short and very heavily built, "a treasure pot", "as her sisters teased. It's interesting that she notices other people's weaknesses and brilliantly imitates them. She was a gifted court comedian by nature. She always used to make everybody laugh keeping a serious look at the time"."

Ty has been doing well. He has two issues right now, and they are minor. The first being his emotional well being. He is simply down in the dumps. I know it will pass, and soon, it is just the latest hospital stay and surgery that has taken a toll on his psyche. I think a relaxing holiday weekend will fix that right up. The other issue is physical. He has been having increased tone and muscle spasms, and they cause him some pain and discomfort. Luckily they don't usually last long, and we have some new medication that starts this weekend so hopefully that will resolve itself soon.
So, the past couple of weeks have been draining and pretty depressing, but Ty is okay, he is on the up and up, and we have so much to look forward to.
I've been wanting to post another long-overdue "thank you" to the dozens of people who have done so much for our family over the past couple of months. But first, I want to remind you that there are so, so many families just like mine. Living this life in parallel. Wishing their child will be cured of cancer. Mothers and fathers who would do anything for their bald-headed baby. Who have to listen to them crying because their little lives are filled with pain, surgeries, needles, nausea, sore throats and weight loss and so much more. The suffering is cruel and it's brutal. But these kids are beautiful. They are so full of life - more than any others because they take nothing for granted. They are gifts from God, and we, as parents, are trying so desperately to hold onto each and every one of them. To give them the life full of fun and laughter that they deserve. They endure so much hardship at such a young age, each and every cancer warrior has earned the right to the most perfect, healthy and happy life imaginable. I want this for them. I want this for Ty more than anything in the whole world.
Then there are the seven kids that die every day from cancer. Seven families just like mine who are forced - kicking and screaming - to shift from survival mode to grieving mode. I have imagined myself in those shoes so many times, and it is unbearable.
I never wanted to embrace this life. I remember sitting in the playroom at Memorial Sloan Kettering for the first time, watching a group of moms huddled together in conversation. One wore a "team connor" tee, another a "stop cancer" hat, and another wore a tee with her son's picture on it. All of them had different colored cancer bracelets on. I thought, "I don't want to do that. I can't let cancer define me." How foolish I was! I don't have a choice. None of us do. So I wear my "SuperTy" and "Cure Cancer" tees, I write this blog, I follow other children on their journeys, I pass out bracelets, and more because this is THE MOST important cause and it makes me feel like I am doing a little something for these kids who deserve so much more.
Which brings me back to how grateful we are. There have been a number of people who have been actively working toward helping my family and others like mine, and I am so grateful. You are all doing so much for the cause, even if it's just keeping tabs on Ty and sharing his story of courage and strength with others. All of it is increasing awareness. Here's just some of the things that have taken place since March:
- Events for St. Baldricks. Thank you SO much for shaving your head in honor of Ty. What a huge sacrifice!
- Dragon Boat Race in Charleston - they won a gold medal for SuperTy!
- Relay for Life - several friends have created teams for their local relay for life, in which they asked to honor Ty
- Swim Across America - thank you to a local Pawling family who will be swimming in the Long Island Sound in honor of Ty
- Movie Nite at Abbey Lane Elementary - a movie night fundraiser was hosted for our family, all by a little girl with an idea for Ty
- Icing Smiles - a neighbor who I never met before poured her blood, sweat, and tears into the most amazing birthday cake for Gavin, all for an incredible pediatric cancer organization called icing smiles.
- Gavin's Party - another friend threw Gavin the most incredible birthday party at her party place and we are so grateful for giving us a day filled with fun and laughter amidst these tough times
- SuperTy Tee Shirt Drive - wow, I never imagined so many people would want a SuperTy tee. A friend sold 220 tees in just a couple of weeks!
- Fred's Team - One of Ty's nurses is running the NYC MARATHON to raise money for pediatric cancer research (CLICK HERE to visit her page)
- Pan Mass - Ty's Amazing Aunt Debi, is at it again (You may recall that she also ran the NYC marathon with Lou last year to raise money for Fred's Team). She recently created Team SuperTy and is training to bike 121 miles in the upcoming Pan-Mass Challenge for pediatric cancer research funding. (CLICK HERE to donate to her team)
Thanks, everyone, for your love and support. I believe in a cure for cancer, a cure for Ty, and all of you are helping us to find that cure.

This new paper, written by Vidhya Alakeson for In Control will
feature the 10 steps of an effective process for personal health
budgets for continuing healthcare.
The report due out shortly is part of a broader programme of
support for primary care trust (PCT) clusters in the North West region to
prepare for the roll out of personal health budgets in 2014. It
draws on the learning of the pilot sites in the region and
nationally to outline the 10 features of an effective process. In
doing so, it recognises that the current pilot programme has not
been driven by a blueprint for how personal health budgets should
be implemented and, therefore, there is a significant amount of
variation in how the process has been designed and the outcomes
that have been achieved for people. In identifying the features of
an effective process, the report intends to inform future
implementation to ensure that personal health budgets deliver the
best possible outcomes for individuals and families.

Relationships require a lot of work. In fact, the better the relationship, the more time and energy we focus on it. Most people believe that inevitably over time romance dies and relationships simply become tolerable, but that doesn't have to be the case. A study done by Acevedo and Aron looked at whether or not romantic love, defined as "love with intensity, engagement, and sexual interest" can last in relationships. They studied short- and long -term relationships and found that romantic love CAN exist in long-term relationships. Lead researcher Bianca P Acevedo, Ph.D., states that even though romantic love is an attainable goal, but that it, "like most good things in life, required energy and devotion."
We've put together a list of 10 simple secrets to making your romantic love last. We feel confident that by putting these secrets into practice you'll prove the romantic love can truly last…if you want it to.
1. Tell the truth 1. Tell the truth
Tell The Truth!
Even if you've told a little white lie or bent the truth a bit to avoid an argument, it's best to come clean and be honest. Telling the truth allows for trust and creates a bond and a mutual safe feeling which can fuel romantic love.
Work it = Worth It
Real-life romance and relationships aren't like the ones we see in movies. Only in fairy-tale land would you have a flawless relationship without even trying. Real relationships take time and patience.
Make sure the flow of give and take is even. If you're both working on it, you can have whatever you work towards. It takes time and a lot of patience to go through the Love Levels. Practice understanding and take the time to listen. Sounds simple but trust me, it can be quite challenging.
When you both have a goal to have a healthy relationship you are
Remember Opposites Attract
Sometimes, that "thing" that drove you crazy in a great way in the beginning becomes that "thing" that drives you crazy later on, in a bad way. Instead of having it aggravate you, embrace it. If he loves sports, get him some tickets to a game. Do this and I bet next time you want to go to paint night you won't have to beg, as much anyway.
Never attempt to change your partner
This is a recipe for disaster. Who your partner is cannot be changed. They are who they are and they liked what they liked before you, and if you can't handle that, they will still like what they like after you. One thing that anyone in a relationship can appreciate is someone that accepts them for who they are. It boils down to compromise. When you show you can put up with their quirks, they will be more likely to return the favor.
Learn to Let it Gooooooooo
There will be times when no matter how much you two argue, yell, scream over a disagreement, you will not come up with the answer. Not everything can be fixed. When this does happen, don't worry. Sometimes, the answer is just kiss, make-up and move-on. Don't let an argument steal your joy.
6. Show some respect.
Show Some Respect
This one should be a given, but sometimes we forget. Don't let your comfort with each other get you in trouble. It's true, we usually disrespect the ones we are close to and feel comfortable with. This is especially important in front of others – it's worse to be disrespected with an audience.
Spend Quality Time
It's simple, no excuses, make time for each other, period. We all have hectic lives, family, constant demands for our time but spending time with each other is really important. Eating dinner together, cuddling, working out together, even folding laundry can be an opportunity to spend some quality time.
Don't Become One
Loving someone and doing things together is great, but don't forget who you are as an individual. After all, it was this individual that your partner was attracted to in the first place.
Stay Out of Dreamland
Remember that real relationships have problems. No couple is perfect. Frankly, it would be boring if they were. It's the issues that you make it thru that makes you that much stronger.
This could be the most important one of all! Nothing is solved without communication. Learn to listen better. Instead of just waiting for them to stop talking so you can get your thoughts out, truly listen with an open mind and heart. Sometimes just knowing that your partner will listen to you can solve any issue before it begins. Like the golden rule, listen to others as you would like them to listen to you.
Please comment below. I'd love to hear your feedback. <3

...bigger and better than before! I refer, of course, to the World of Gruntfuttock, which returns after a brief hiatus over the festive period. Not that I've been idle, mind you; my plans for global domination are coming on apace, as evinced by my recent successful destruction of the capitalist markets, my stranglehold on the Ukraine by withdrawal of gas (ostensibly for non-payment of bills, although I didn't even send them a final demand) and my invasion of Gaza (he's never been the same since his run in with Vinnie Jones).
To more serious matters, and the new series of 'Celebrity' Big Brother commenced this week to the delight and dismay of many. A quick run down of the participants (and, let's face it, many of them should be) reveals that this year's intake is as disparate and desperate as ever, and should lead to no beginning of entertaining scenarios. First in was LaToya Jackson, all squeaky and chiselled, who appears to be as insane as the rest of her brood, closely followed by Muttya, the 'Sugababe' everyone loves to hate. Then came Verne Troyer, who is a shoe-in to win because women find him "sooo cute" in a rather patronising way, and Tommy Sheridan, infamous Scottish communist, most well known for recording with The Beatles. Next was self-proclaimed "Tory-bird" Lucy Pinder (did anyone else notice Verne's face light up upon her entry?) with Ben Adams, apparently the offspring of some arterial thoroughfare, close behind. A personal favourite, actress Tina Malone came next; who knows what fun is to be had watching her struggle with her OCD and bipolarism. Fish-out-of-water Coolio followed, looking thoroughly puzzled by the whole affair, with failed 'Popstar' Michelle Heaton in tow. Finally, two stalwarts of British broadcasting appeared: the ever-detestable Terry Christian of 'Word' fame (lions, anyone?) and the ever-pregnant Ulrika-ka-ka Jonsson.
I look forward to three weeks of non-stop, knockabout fun, safe in the knowledge that whilst that lot are in the BB house I can safely watch the other channels without seeing any of their ugly mugs.

Lab Visit @ HKPC - Support on R&D and Testing of Smart Electronic Products
Lab Test One feature event of year 2019 "Lab Visit @ HKPC - Support on R&D and Testing of Smart Electronic Products" will be held on 11th December 2019 (Wednesday). Registration is now open on first-come, first-served basis.
Technical Seminar: Is "Non-ionizing Radiation Surrounding You" a problem?
By Ir Angel Wong
The captioned seminar was jointly organized by the Manufacturing and Industrial Division of The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE-MI), Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering Section of The IET Hong Kong (IET-MIES), and Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC). It was held on 26 January 2018 at the HKIE Headquarters with over 90 participants attended.
The speaker, Mr LAM Wui Ting from the EMC Centre of the Hong Kong Productivity Council firstly explained the differences between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation as significantly increase in the availability and adoption of electronic and wireless devices for both personal and industrial use has led to the increase in awareness of health hazards associated with exposure to non-ionizing radiation. Mr Lam then showed some news clipping and videos related to non-ionizing radiation incidents and further demonstrated some non-ionizing radiation on-site measurement showcases to the participants. The showcases included measurement at the roof top of residential buildings; residential flat close to roof top mobile base station; office area near electricity sub-station; and measurement close to railway facilities. The measured non-ionizing radiation spectrum was then compared with the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) recommended level at different frequencies.
The seminar was very fruitful. During the Q&A session, there were over-whelming responses from the participants who raised questions and concerns on the potential fire risk caused by non-ionizing radiation in gas station and dangerous goods storage area.

Ultra-Sonic Sealing. This technology uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations which generate heat inside the plastic in order to create a sealed joint. The application of ultrasonic technology creates molecular vibrations within the strap as opposed to sealing the strap with heat or friction which are the 2 most common welding methods for plastic strap.
Friction Welding. Friction welding generates heat through mechanical friction. The heat is produced by rotating one component against the other whilst under compression. The strap is sealed (or fused) by using a combination of friction and compressive force. As this sealing method involves the rapid movement of several mechanical components, it requires frequent maintenance and replacement of key components.
Heat Seal Technology. Heat and pressure are applied to the plastic strap in order to create a 'welded' joint. Accurate and precise control of the welding blade temperature, blade insertion and strap compression time ensures consistent results. Heat sealing can join two similar or dissimilar plastic materials together (including strap containing a high level of recycled material) without compromising the seal or weld quality. This makes heat seal a popular welding method for both virgin and recycled strapping grades.
An example based on a 16mm wide strap (widely used in the building products industry, for example clay bricks and concrete block paving where void pack security is paramount). Some older Friction Weld strapping heads have a circular seal area. In the example shown below, a typical friction weld area of 12mm diameter would equate to a total welded surface area of 113mm². Heat sealing heads apply heat and pressure across the entire width of the strap to create a seal 25mm in length. This equates to a total welded surface area of 400mm² (a 71% increase in hold down force). Nearly all PET has recycled content in unknown quantities. This can influence the seal quality. By increasing the surface weld area, heat sealing ensures maximum seal efficiency.
Below is a quick overview of Ultrasonic, Friction Weld and Heat Seal welding technologies:
|Ultra Sonic
|Friction Weld
|Heat Seal
|More suitable for small sealing area
|More suitable for large sealing area
|Self-cleaning/blowing mechanism
|Noise level
|Quieter <79dB
|Louder >79dB
|Medium (79dB)

I like life simple, I especially like the Truth. I have never been someone who wanted this or that, I have never been someone who makes demands as others do, all I ever wanted in Life was to be Loved I have my Sons Love and thats so precious. In fact I have been a Loner all my life. Someone told me I would be lonely when my Husband Died and my Sons left Home, they couldn't understand when I said that I am never lonely, I always find something to occupy myself writing saves me being a Loner they could not understand.
When for all of your life you have been lied to, not even knowing until later in life that all you believed had been lies, it takes some adjusting and it makes one annoyed that people could lie as they do, especially those that you Love, Trust and Believe in. To some who do not understand that being honest being Truthful is how some of us live some of us cope with life, they find no problems with telling lies and referring to others as liars.
Call me whatever name you like, believe me I have heard nearly all from my so called sister. I'll take it from those who dish it out but can't take it themselves and I laugh it off now but to call me a Liar I will not tolerate. I don't lie I can't lie so what would be the point of me telling lies, I leave that to others. So many years ago a dear Friend of mine, now long gone, said I had Cow eyes and I was not sure how to take that, when they said "next time you go home to Ireland look in the Cows eyes see how beautiful they are how trusting" I understood. Stupid I guess but my entire life I have told the Truth, I have suffered for it too believe me, and I know there are those that find telling lies so easy.
I know I am soft, I am a Romantic and a Doctor once told me "you have vulnerability written across your forehead", not nice to hear but I do believe in people perhaps too much, I have learned the hard way. Perhaps I can count on one hand those that have been completely honest with me, when I make a Friend that I know I can trust I know that they know I am being Truthful in all I say and do, I am Loyal to that person I treasure their Friendship their Love, but let me down and, isn't there always an "and"…………….
Those closet to one can cut the deepest and despite the physical and mental pain they cause, you still continue to love them. Then the day comes and they have waited Twenty Nine Years to tell you "I never wanted you", unless you have been through that I don't expect anyone can understand the pain those words that look when it was said can cause one. You carry on and still love them but those words never leave your mind perhaps they never will, until that day comes and they turn their back on you, literally, in particular at a time when their life is ending. What I am saying I suppose is life makes one as they are, lies lies lies and not accepting the Truth is something I find so hard to accept. I have been told in the past and again just recently that I am a strong person, I don't see that but what one has been through probably makes you strong, it helps us cope with all that is trying to bring us down.
I don't and won't apologise for telling the Truth, its up to you whether you believe it or not, but don't think that I can be called a Liar and then insulted and accusations made. I have been there before far too much, and have had to learn the hard way, I have the scars to prove it in all ways.
I Love my Country, I love the Ireland that my Parents came from, the Southern Ireland where I was so happy as a Child on holiday and my Granddad who was the Truth. My Father, John was a very quiet very reserved Blarney Village man, never drank. Unfortunately, smoked and paid for that with his life he spoke the most to me, which my mother always resented, Daddy never lied to me. My Mother, well my Mother never forgave me for being Born a Girl and I loved her and trusted her implicitly, took Thirty Two years of my life to discover she was such a Liar. Never mattered what I would say she would call me a Liar, my World was my bedroom my little red radio, Diary, my writing, cuts deep to this day. There was no Freedom no going out or boyfriends definitely not that, my mother had lived her life but me, well controlled. I suppose that's why I Married in my Twenties and married a man nearly Thirty years older than me, someone I could Trust, so I thought, my Sons tell me I married to escape my Birdcage but sadly my Husband after a few years put me back into that birdcage with my mother/spinster sister, He broke his Promise to me that he never would. My older so called sister never could to the day of the death of my mother do anything wrong, I was never right. Yet my sister Betrayed my Mother and stole from her, stole from me what my Father had intended for the two Daughters he had, to share. The one thing my mother wanted from the day my Father Died was to be buried alongside her Husband, she even brought the plot, being devout Roman Catholic she never believed in what she referred to as being "Burnt" and was angry at me when my Husband Died and his wish was to be Cremated. My sister "burnt" as my mother would say, our Mother I had no say, she then wrote to my mother's only Brother left, and told him its what I had insisted on. I don't even know where she has put my mother's Ashes, they were not put with my Father I know that. Can you understand now why I HATE LIARS, why I tell the TRUTH.
When David, my Husband Died Christmas 1994, as soon as the Undertakers opened for business my sister called them to take my Husband's body away, I had no idea. The first I knew was when I was alone with David, just cutting a little piece of his hair and two men walked in. I investigated much later and discovered she had phoned and pretended to be ME and insisted on the arrangements for the removal asap. LIARS God how I detest them. I have always Loved every single Dog I have had, all Rescues I don't believe in buying a Dog, too many are desperate for a Home, my Dogs have been my Baby Loving and Loyal always there for me, ready to comfort when I cry, best Friend anyone can ever have.
As I said I make no apologies for telling the TRUTH, its something my Country could do with most urgently right now, the entire Media try to force their lies down our throats, believing that the majority of the people are still so stupid we don't see the TRUTH. The majority of the people have had their DEMOCRACY stolen from them, the PM LIED the Politicians well they are famous for their lies. Others take offence at the Truth and call one a Liar well that's up to them, nothing I can do. One day they will wake up to the TRUTH of whats happening to dear old Great Britain. The courageous people of France have shone a light that should be followed.
So I'll end here, I still have too much of the House to clean and Christmas Decorations to put up, which I dread. That's me simple life hoping not to be let down again, but it will happen I have absolutely no doubt. TAKE CARE. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS.
Andy Williams, can't be Christmas without Andy Williams. "CHRISTMAS PRESENT" (Thanks to Sorrowful Flower)

And the color of the Year 2013 chosen by Pantone LLC is Emerald Green. There was a great article in the Saturday February 16th issue that I read over the weekend. It was really quite interesting & I have to agree the color has the WOW factor that we home stagers & redesigners are always looking for!
I love green, maybe it is the Irish leprechaun in me, but beware – with the intensity of emerald green, you do need to be watchful of using too much in a room. I definitely would consider using the color in staging homes in pillows, lamp base, picture frames, etc. as it is very dramatic and gives that WOW factor in small doses in a room.
Now to paint an entire room emerald would take some soul searching. Ha. A little emerald goes a long way and you could tire of it before your budget allows a change out! Now if you had a small alcove or maybe even a dining room…then possibly the emerald would show well but not in a room where you would normally relax or linger in. It is suggested that a sofa would not be a good piece the color of emerald because of its' size. Again, you would probably tire of it before your budget allows you to replace or reupholster.
Colors that would complement Emerald might be yellows or browns which would be mindful of earth colors or trees. If you are a brave soul or more passionate – for a real punch you might want to use raspberry, Prussian blue or turquoise with your emerald? I think this photo shows the great relationship between greens and blues.
As Debra King, a New York consultant stated in the article "Emerald might be one of those polarizing colors like purple – you either love it or hate it, and certainly could get tired of it fast." Bottom line is use the color sparingly as a WOW factor in your home accessories and the leprechauns will smile upon you. I absolutely love this door! What do you think? Too green?
Just a quick after thought, if Emerald is not your favorite green, then look at Sherwin Williams' Color of 2013. They chose Aloe, which is still in the green family but pale next to Emerald and, to me, looks pale blue? Again, what do you think?

Marijuana Users at Increased Risk of Testicular Cancer: Study
According to a new study by researchers from the University of Southern California, recreational marijuana could increase the risk of sub-types of testicular cancer in men.
The study suggests that those using the herb for recreational purposes, and also those using marijuana and its derivatives for therapeutic purposes should consider the long-term effects.
For the study, which aimed at studying the role of marijuana in testicular cancer, Victoria Cortessis, MSPH, PhD, assistant professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC in Los Angeles, and her colleagues analyzed the data of 163 men diagnosed with the disease and their self-reported history of recreational marijuana usage. The data was compared with that of 292 healthy men of the same age and race/ethnicity, the news release said.
During the investigation, it was found that men who had used marijuana had double the chances of contracting subtypes of testicular cancer called non-seminoma and mixed germ cell tumors. These tumors are generally more common among younger men and the effects of it are worse than the seminoma subtype.
The study's findings confirm a link between marijuana use and testicular cancer.
"We do not know what marijuana triggers in the testis that may lead to carcinogenesis, although we speculate that it may be acting through the endocannabinoid system-the cellular network that responds to the active ingredient in marijuana-since this system has been shown to be important in the formation of sperm," said Cortessis.
It was also found by the researchers that men with a history of cocaine usage were less likely to be at a risk of subtypes of testicular cancer.
This suggests that men with testicular cancer simply are not willing to admit using recreational drugs.
Although the influence of cocaine on testicular cancer risk is unknown, the authors suspect that the drug may kill sperm-producing germ cells since it has this effect on experimental animals, Medical Xpress reported.
"If this is correct, then 'prevention' would come at a high price," Cortessis said.
"Although germ cells can not develop cancer if they are first destroyed, fertility would also be impaired. Since this is the first study in which an association between cocaine use and lower testis cancer risk is noted, additional epidemiological studies are needed to validate the results."
The study was published online in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.
