Book Publishers in NycPublishers in Nyc
Here you will find a selection of our books by category. My dear book publishers and magazine editors:
Eleven small literary presses that prove that book publication is not only in New York City.
It' s difficult to find a book enthusiast who hasn't thought about getting into the world of publication at some point. It is a little overwhelming to think that someone is being remunerated for putting these supernatural, magic ledgers that we call ledgers into our possessions, and that one of these days we could do this work is all the more.
However, if you are looking for an intern, the present situation is difficult - the Big Five publishers are in New York City, a city not known for being inviting and inexpensive for newcomers with big ideas and empty bag. These are just a few of the small printing machines you can find all over the land that provide singular and inventive votes that may have been avoided or just don't really suit larger publishers.
A number of writers favour the sensitivity of India and the practical approaches of independent publishers that they would not get in a big deal.

It's hard to believe that a clerical error blossomed into one the biggest names in hospitality across the country. Legend has it that in 1926, just six years after arriving to New York from Parma, Pio Bozzi and John Ganzi wanted to register their Second Avenue restaurant after their hometown. Their heavy accents gave the cleric registering their business the impression they'd said "Palm." And so, a legend — and The Palm — was born. The steakhouse's success wasn't determined by the name, however, but by the hard work and dedication of its founders. "I spent a lot of time ...Read More »

Attending games at Pompeii, crowds cheering,
Wine and fruit, young woman appeared at lower
Terraces, merchant's daughter I believed, selling
Flowers, my help I offered, instead she asked,
"What is that you desire?" Followed by boastful
Laugh, I replied, "For things to continue as they
Are, riches and long life here in Pompeii."
Thus were my days, mingling with elite, visits
To Rome, fortunes at my feet, villa of my own,
Sex with ladies and their slaves, food and drink,
Long baths. I wanted for nothing except for love,
For when awakened, mind benumbed from
Wine and trance of poppy, my life and bed
Were empty-cold, such things fates denied.
Again, this flower seller appeared on lower
Seats, struggling with heavy baskets, as if
I was only one such burdens observed, to
Her side I rushed. "My Lord, what is it you
Desire?" she asked, eyes and face gleaming.
"To continue as I am, but to know love in all
Its glories, wife and children in Pompeii."
Lo! Such love I found, passions unbridled,
Faithful woman of rich family, who felt as I,
Within weeks we wed, grandeur of Pompeii,
My villa hers, each child born well, blessings
Of immortal gods. My life and heart knew no
Bounds, until Vesuvius erupted whilst I was
In Rome, family reduced to smoldering ash.
Alas, in streets of Rome I met same flower
Seller, heavy-basket burdened. "May I help
You?" I asked. "Yes, tell me what you desire?"
Such questions upon heart and brow, returning
Sands of time. "To continue as I am, with you
Forever at my side." Beyond understanding,
Time unwound, sun and seas reverse-flowed.
Who she is I know not, within weeks I married
Ianthe, whether mortal or demigoddess, my
Splendorous lotus blossom, all pain lost, all
Desires found-filled, our life upon Ægean Seas,
Pompeii, Rome distant memories. Fisherman
I became, nets and sails, blue skies, silver-
Crested waves, life more magical than real.
Another poem night-dreamt, written in early morning
hours. Written whilst listening to "Time" by Hans
Zimmer, original motion picture soundtrack "Inception."

"Sunflower IV" - SOLD
This is a funky little sunflower painting I did some time ago which I never posted. It just found a new home so I wanted to thank Miss Nancy for adopting it. It's one of those "out of my head" paintings where I didn't have a photo or flower to look at while painting. I like to do that sometimes - it feels very free.

Look what showed up in the mail!!!! Back in December when we did the "Different Strokes" portrait paintings, my partner Kris Wood sort of lost the portraits she did of me.

Hey guys,
Ok this isn't demand related. I got a lead on a news writing job for a company. So I emailed the owner and said I was interested. It's a very specific job for a well known company. I meet all of the credentials and I've actually met the guy before. So after I emailed him, he wanted my resume and writing samples ect. I emailed that to him. He emailed me back, says he has my info and will keep me posted as the news area of the company progresses. So...wtf does that mean? I read too much into stuff. I need another opinion. Is this good or bad or just eh? This all took place over the course of three hours. He was very quick to get back to me. And he friended me on fb...so...what does THAT mean?

The Form panel shows user-friendly input forms for the request parameters.
Depending on the value type – for example, for the
enumerator, and
list values – ReadyAPI displays different field types. These are custom fields that make working with them faster and easier.
To display the request in the Form panel, ReadyAPI has to analyze it and display the contents. For complex requests, this may take an extended period of time, so ReadyAPI displays a warning instead. You can dismiss this warning and continue, but creating a form may take long or cause ReadyAPI to crash.
The warning appears if there are over 2000 items in the service definition, or if the XML definition is over the maximum value specified in ReadyAPI options. Also, when you open the panel, only the first level of forms will be available to prevent possible issues. We recommend keeping only the necessary forms open.
You can use the View Type drop-down list to filter fields by their definition. This is useful in a manual testing scenario where you need only to modify certain fields.
Below are the available options:
|Shows all elements.
|Shows only required elements.
|Shows only elements containing data.
Mandatory And Data
|Shows required elements and elements containing data.
To check if the data types of parameter values match the specification of your request, click on the toolbar. The editor will highlight the parameters with mismatching data types:
This feature works for WSDL services and for the REST services based on Swagger 2.0 specifications in the JSON and YAML formats. Also, these Swagger 2.0 services must be added to the project in ReadyAPI 2.2 or later.
For other services, the check always succeeds.
If you test a RESTful service, you may change the parameter data type on the Request page of the editor, but the command will validate request values against the spec, not against the settings on this page.

As the Mogu ITS approaches, we look at some of the drivers and challenges ahead
The Mogu ITS is different to many recent initial token sales (ITS) and initial coin offerings (ICOs) because it is backed by a stable technology that already has 5,000 active units in place.
Why are you holding the Mogu ITS?
In reality though, the Mogu ITS has a slightly different focus and underlying value when compared to some of the activity we've seen over the last few months in the cryptocurrency sector. Or ITS is part of a strategy to increase investment, bolster brand awareness and attract more participants in our partner ecosystem.
Where is the demand for the Mogu ITS?
Why is the Mogu ITS different?
Our main focus is on producing a new kind of smart router, one that will disrupt the server-space, democratise data and make the internet more affordable and accessible. Our ITS will simply help us achieve our goals.

The starting point is the sport center in Borgo Valsugana, where after a part of cycling path you will ride up Val Coalba, that leads us on unpaved road to Monte Civeron, at the bottom of Mount Ortigara. Once you have reached the Plateau pass on the right side of the Austro Hungarian cemetery, ride down on the unpaved road until you cross the asphalt road that leads to the hamlet Olle. Once you pass Olle, before crossing the bridge of Moggio stream, turn right along the cycling path that will lead you back to the starting point.

Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay.
― Jiddu Krishnamurti
Over the past couple of posts I've opined that the essence of value in computing should be best found in the real world. This is true for scientific computing as it is for the broader world. The ability of computers to impact reality more completely has powered an incredible rise in the value of computing and transformed the World. Despite this seemingly obvious proposition, in recent years and with current plans, the scientific community has focused its efforts on the part of computing most distant from reality, the computing hardware. The bridge from the real world to the artificial reality of the simulation are our models of reality.
Tradition is a fragile thing in a culture built entirely on the memories of the elders.
― Alice Albinia
In science these models are often cast in the esoteric form of differential equations tobe solved by exotic methods and algorithms. Ultimately, these methods and algorithms must be expressed as computer code before the computers can be turned loose on their approximate solution. These models are relics. The whole enterprise of describing the real world through these models arose from the efforts of intellectual giants starting with Newton and continuing with Leibnitz, Euler, and a host of brilliant 17th, 18th and 19th Century scientists. Eventually, if not almost immediately, models became virtually impossible to solve via available (analytical) methods except for a handful of special cases.
There is no creation without tradition; the 'new' is an inflection on a preceding form; novelty is always a variation on the past.
― Carlos Fuentes
When computing came into use in the middle of the 20th Century some of these limitations could be lifted. As computing matured fewer and fewer limitations remained, and the models of the past 300 years became accessible to solution albeit through approximate means. The success has been stunning as the combination of intellectual labor on methods and algorithms along with computer code, and massive gains in hardware capability have transformed our view of these models. Along the way new phenomena have been recognized including dynamical systems or chaos opening doors to understanding the World. Despite the progress I believe we have much more to achieve.
What might be holding us back? The models are not evolving and advancing in reaction to the access to solution via computing.
The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones.
― John Maynard Keynes
Today we are largely holding to the models of reality developed prior to the advent of computing as a means of solution. The availability of solution has not yielded the balanced examination of the models themselves. These models are
artifacts of an age where the nature of solution was radically different. One might wonder what sorts of modifications of the existing paradigm would be in order should the means of solution be factored in. For example the notion of deterministic unique solutions to the governing equations is pervasive, yet reality clearly shows this to be wrong. Solutions to reality are always a little bit, to very different even given nearly identical initial conditions.
The assumption of an absolute determinism is the essential foundation of every scientific enquiry.
― Max Planck
Originally the models focused on the average or mean tendency of reality. This is reasonable for much of science and engineering, but as the point-of-view becomes refined other issues begin to crowd this out. These variations in outcome can dominate the utility of these models. For many cases the consequence of reality is driven by the uncommon or unusual outcomes (i.e., the tails of the distributiuon). Most of our current modeling approach and philosophy is utterly incapable of studying this problemeffectively. This gets to the core of studying uncertainty in physical systems. We need to overhaul our approach of reality to really come to grips with this. Computers, code and algorithms are probably at or beyond the point where this can be tackled.
It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
― Arthur Stanley Eddington
Here is the problem. Despite the need for this sort of modeling, the efforts in computing are focused at the opposite end of the spectrum. Current funding and focus is aimed at the computing hardware, and code with little effort being applied to algorithms, methods and models. The entire enterprise needs a serious injection of intellectual energy in the proper side of the value proposition.
Cynics are – beneath it all – only idealists with awkwardly high standards.
― Alain de Botton

I haven't written much when it comes to animals rights. With the exception of a couple of stories, most of my writing is focused solely on human rights. I decided to write something regarding Smithfield Foods' terrible treatment of pigs after receiving an email asking me to sign this petition.
If you are a fan of McDonald's, you may have a change of heart after reading about Smithfield Foods, the main supplier of pork products to McDonald's.
The petition is a result of the findings from a Humane Society of the US investigation that was conducted about a year ago regarding how pigs are treated at the Smithfield Foods' farms.
The pigs are kept in something called gestation crates, which are so tiny the pigs have no room to move in them. So what is a pig to do? Well, "they engage in repetitive behaviors like bar biting and head swaying — sometimes injuring themselves in the process."
The way in which we treat animals is a direct reflection on our society on how we treat our fellow human beings. While I understand there are farms that raise animals for human consumption, I find it discouraging that our society treats these animals so cruelly.
If McDonald's is serious about ending the use of these gestation crates, it can use its influence to put pressure on Smithfield Foods to end this practice and start treating the animals there more humanely. Until then, I'm not lovin' it.

Bellavance Ink
1733 Painted Sky Terrace
Charlottesville, Va 22901
I grew up in a family of artists with my Mom being a potter and my Dad a fine arts
professor. I always liked drawing for fun but I never really devoted any significant
time to it until later in life. About 8 years ago I started a small company, which
required me to generate graphics using computer software such as Adobe
Illustrator/Photoshop. However I really wanted to be able to draw my graphics first
and then import into the software to manipulate.
So three years ago I began the process of teaching myself how to draw. I followed
the advice found in the book, "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty
I started first with pencil, but I found it to be too messy for me and switched to Micron Water proof ink pens. From that point forward I began drawing faces, then
moved on to people, cars, basically anything I saw of interest. Three years later my favorite subjects for drawing are landscapes, buildings, and then just whimsical funny drawings. I will sometimes employ watercolors but for the most part they are black and white ink drawings.
I even did my own self-published children's book called "The Sneeze". It is about how one old man's sneeze causes a chain of events that save the world. I do accept work on commission if I feel the subject is in my wheelhouse.

Above: The cover of The Art Of The Adventures Of Tintin by Chris Guise. Copyright Paramount Pictures/HarperCollinsNZ/Weta Workshop 2011.
This latest publishing collaboration between Weta Workshop and HarperCollins gives an intriguing and immersive look into the conceptual art behind the upcoming Spielberg/Jackson film production of The Adventures Of Tintin. Weta Workshop have once again wisely chosen to give the author duties over to the film's Lead Conceptual Designer Chris Guise (following on from Greg Broardmore's Art of District 9), who's in a knowledgeable position to really draw on the best of the film's concept artwork to produce this eye-popping collection.
Guise makes it clear from the beginning that this hardback collection looks at the many paths taken in the film's design process, focusing more on the concept exploration and 'roads not taken' rather than just the finished product, a decision which makes all the difference here. With the wealth of material on offer, it's great to see the development of visual ideas with all the side-steps along the way, which really provides the most fascinating material.
Above: Steven Spielberg on set with Peter Jackson, directing Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock and Jamie Bell as Tintin in Motion Capture suits. Copyright Paramount Pictures/HarpercollinsNZ/Weta Workshop 2011.
It's no secret that the film itself is entirely CG animated, with actors providing performances via Motion Capture technology, building on Weta Digital's previous work on The Lord Of The Rings and Avatar. Because of this process, a great deal of the film's success will rest on it's concept and production artwork, providing the locations and appearance of the characters themselves, right down to the burst blood-vessels of Captain Haddock nose!
Guise presents each part of the film's production process in a largely visual layout with minimal but informative text, letting the artwork speak for itself. He also wisely utilises the artists to talk about their own work and choices, providing some fun personal observations. Probably the most enjoyable section comes early in the book, where the concept artists (clearly fans of the comic albums) are given free reign to reinterpret examples of Herge's artwork in a more realistic style as a starting point for the film's visual look. This results in some great takes on many of Herge's classic covers, and provides a hint of where things may go if the film warrants a sequel (Destination Moon looks to be a firm favourite of the art team).
Above: A look at the development of visualising Tintin. Copyright Paramount Pictures/HarpercollinsNZ/Weta Workshop 2011.
The process of conceptualizing the film's characters is a fascinating study. Transforming Herge's two dimensional characters into three dimensions is key to the film's look and success, and that's particularly true of the film's reporter hero Tintin, who simplistic appearance (his head is little more than a slightly developed smiley face) is iconographic symbolism personified. The visual exploration of this tricky design task is well examined, and includes the book's most curious out-take: photos of the original test for a live-action Tintin, with prosthetic applications used to enhance the actor's features to match the comic (see the sample page above). It's a tantalising glimpse into what could have been, and while it's hard to gauge whether the prosthetics would have been more or less creepy than the realistic CG the production has decided to go with, avoiding shades of 1990's Dick Tracy is probably for the best. There's a dedication to Herge's original character designs here that is impressive, while also taking into account muscle movement and the full range of expressions needed for filming.
Above: A look at developing Tintin's apartment. Copyright Paramount Pictures/HarpercollinsNZ/Weta Workshop 2011.
The film's many locations are also well covered, from Tintin's apartment to stately Marlinspike Hall. Again, no small detail is overlooked, with the design team puzzling over unique problems like the best way to construct Tintin's apartment, which wasn't consistent over the entire run of the comic series eg. his curtains are different colours in different books!((gasp!)).
Overall, this is a very well considered 'art of' collection, with plenty of details to please the legion of Tintin fans and film enthusiasts alike. Best of all, there's an abundance of material here which will be even more pleasing to revisit after seeing the finished film itself, which is really what makes this collection shine.

Uptown Swing Dance
The Frankie Manning Foundation was established with Frankie's passing to carry on his legacy. We've been honored to have Beantown Camp as part of the Ambassador Program, which provides scholarships to support the growth and development of new ambassadors of Lindy Hop. Recipients are primarily selected from African-American communities throughout the USA as well as areas around the world where Lindy Hop is in a very early stage of development.
The experience is often life-changing, and it is wonderful to watch them grow as individuals and dancers, and begin to help teach future generations. Starting in 2014, Beantown began collecting funds to bring past Ambassadors back to camp, as many do not have the means to do so on their own. There is no charge to attend camp, however funds are needed to cover housing, meals and travel.
From the Frankie Manning Foundation:
Frankie Manning had a long association with Beantown Camp. He would be so pleased to see the amazing job that Beantown has done in creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for African American Lindy Hoppers. No camp has done more to increase African American participation and inclusion in the world swing dance community.
Profits from this dance will be used directly for the Beantown Ambassador Program. As this program has grown, we're thrilled with the impact the experience has brought. Success would not be possible without the generous donations from our dance community. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Kids Rules 'Horrendous,' Says ANA's Liodice
Calling the FCC's kids TV rule changes for the digital age "savage," "irresponsible" and "horrendous," Association of National Advertisers President Bob Liodice Monday explained his association's decision to take them to court.
In a blog posting Monday (http://www.ana.blogs.com/liodice/), Liodice decried the new rules' definition of program promotion in kids shows as advertising (unless it is for an educational or informational show), and restrictions on the broadcasting of Web site addresses.
He says they "threaten the continued viability of children's programming, "and are a back-door attempt to impose "sweeping" regulation of the Internet.
"[L]et's ask the FCC to act responsibly and give up this irresponsible approach to regulating children's advertising," he wrote. "The downstream implications of such horrendous rulemaking are very serious and will undermine the terrific balance that currently exists among advertisers, programmers and kids."
ANA withdrew its challenge to the rules at the FCC, deciding instead to join Viacom's court challenge to the rules in the D.C. circuit.
Disney asked the same court for a writ of mandamus regarding the rules, essentially a court order to a federal agency to make a ruling.
The FCC is scheduled to respond to that writ Tuesday.
We don't know whether the court timed it that way or not, but Tuesday is also the 15th anniversary of the original Children's TV Act, which the FCC was updating for the digital age when it passed the new rules last fall.
The Act's legislative godfather, Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) plans to host a celebration of the Act and rally for the rules on Capitol Hill Tuesday.

Question: Possible Herpes???
|Lestate - Thu Dec 28, 2006 11:37 am
Please let me know your opinion...
Positive Symptoms: I have 3, red itchy bumps at the base of my penis that appeared 2 days ago and I just developed a severe sore throat and I can tell that my throat glands are swollen.
Negative Symptoms: These are my only symptoms. The red bumps are not red any more, and the itch is not as severe, but still there. As well, my girlfriend and I have been sexually exclusive for a year and a half. She is the only person I have had sex with ever. Herpes symptoms usually pop up within 2 weeks of infection right? She has no symptoms. No blisters...yet.
I figure that I just got in some chiggers (sp) and they bit me and then the sore throat is just from traveling so much over the holidays...
Please let me know...
|Dr. Safaa Mahmoud - Thu Dec 28, 2006 8:13 pm
This could be:
- These lesions mostly represent a form of dermatitis.
Dermatitis is referred to different types of skin rashes that are caused by infections, allergies (including medicine), and irritants (such as soaps, certain creams and some may be due to allergy).
Lesions are usually in the form of itchy small red bumps.
The inflammation usually subsides spontaneously, but avoiding exposure to any irritant is important .
You may use only bland lotions, like moisturizing lotions, till you consult your docotr.
Other causes to be excluded like:
- Friction and fungus are very likely to be the causes red and , painful Itchy patches.
Obese and active people are more susceptible.
Antifungal treatment is needed.
- Herpes simplex infection (less likely) results in small, very painful blisters (fluid is inside the lesion)
genital irritation, itching, they burst into
The sores turns into crust, that scab
and heal in about 3 weeks.
Direct clinical examination is essential.
Keep us updated.
|Lestate - Thu Dec 28, 2006 9:25 pm
Thank You so much for your response...
The red bumps are down, there is still a little itching. It is not pussing or crusting over. I will go in for consultation if it persists or reoccurs. I figure I just got into something at my families place over the holidays...they live in the country.
Thank You again...

We learned this last year that 9th Muharram is known as Tashu'a Day, the day before the big day - A'shura Day (10th Muharram) - which was a day of celebration historically, in conjunction with Prophet Musa's victory over Fir'aun.
Let's remind ourselves of the virtues of these auspicious days from excerpts in Al-Futtuhat Al-Haqqaniyah by Shaykh Adnan Kabbani as translated by Bro. Abdul Shakur.
- The Prophet said, "Whoever fasts the 'Ashura (10th Muharram), Allah will write for him 1000 wishes and 1000 years of age, and will grant him the reward of 1000 martyrs and will write for him the reward of Ismail a.s., and writes for him 70 palaces in paradise, and makes his flesh forbidden from the hellfire."
- In another Hadith the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Whoever fasts the 'Ashura, he will be granted the reward of 1000 angels. And whoever recites Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad 1000 times on the day of 'Ashura, Allah will glance at him with the Eyes of Mercy, and will write him from amongst the Siddiqqin [The Truthful]."
- In another Hadith the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Distinguish yourselves from the Jews by fasting either the day before 'Ashura or the day after it as well."
- Whoever prays 4 sunnah rak'at on the day of 'Ashura, where after the Fatihah in each rak'ah recites Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad 11 times Allah will forgive his sins of fifty years, and will build for him a pulpit from light. And whoever takes the sunnah shower on 'Ashura he will not suffer sickness in that year except the illness of death, and whoever wears the Kuhl on his eyes on 'Ashura he will not suffer sickness on that year.
- Du'a of 'Ashura: Recite:
- Hasbun Allahu wa ni'mal wakil ni'mal Maula wa ni'man Nasir [70x]
- Hasbun Allahu mil-al Mizan wa muntahal 'ilma, wa mablaghal rida, wa zinatul 'arsh, la malja-a wa la manja min Allahi illa ilaihi. Subhan Allahi 'adada-sh- shaf`i wal 'arshi, wa 'adada kalimati Rabbinat taamma! ti kulliha. As-alukas Salamata bi Rahmatika Ya Arham Ar-Rahimin, wa la hawla wala quwwata illa billahil 'Aliyyil 'Azhim. Wa huwa hasbii wa ni'mal wakil, ni'mal Mawla wa ni'man Nasir. Wa Sallallahu 'ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa 'ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in. [7x]

The 2018 Hyundai Tucson Holds the Line in Elyria, OH
The Hyundai Tucson is expecting to see a massive overhaul for the 2019 model-year, which means that the 2018 Hyundai Tucson, mid-product-cycle, won't be making too many wild changes. If you're looking for a fuel-efficient small crossover SUV in Elyria, OH, the Hyundai Tucson will likely be a great choice no matter what new-car model-year you choose.
The 2018 Hyundai Tucson will, for this model-year, follow the age-old adage of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"; its already a very popular option for drivers and small families in Cleveland, Parma, North Ridgeville, and Lorain who need a capable and versatile crossover, so its design won't change much until the next generational reboot.
Hold the Line
If you love the look and feel of the most recent Hyundai Tucson, then you're in luck: the 2018 Tucson SUV is going to look, feel, and perform a lot like it. Standard power is expected to come from a standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine or an available 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, like the rest of this generation, with similar or same fuel economy ratings. Standard features--like a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio, and stain-resistant cloth upholstery--should also come standard on this well-equipped crossover.
We'll provide updates as we learn them to tell you more about 2018 Tucson specs and performance.
2017 Hyundai Tucson vs 2018 Hyundai Tucson
- Powertrain options are the same for both models
- Dimensions and cargo area stay about the same
- The 2018 Tucson is likely to introduce some updates for its standard infotainment system
- The 2018 Tucson may cost slightly more than the 2017 Tucson
- Model trim options for 2018 Tucson should remain the same
Pre-Order a New 2018 Hyundai Tucson to Get Ahead of the Crowd
Why choose the 2018 model over the 2017? While they will both offer a similar variety of features and trim levels, we know that newer is always better. 2018 models typically offer unique financing incentives and lease deals over their outgoing 2017 counterparts, so you could score an amazing deal on the 2018 Tucson at Elyria Hyundai when it arrives at our showroom within the next few months. Ask about pre-ordering a new 2018 Tucson if you think this SUV will be your perfect SUV.

I received a letter from the Alzheimer's Association this week. It was an acknowledgement of a gift made in honor of Mom by my sweet mother-in-law Betty. The timing was perfect since Monday was Mom's birthday, and September is World Alzheimer's Month. The back of the letter was devoted to an article titled "10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer's disease." An article in our local paper about Alzheimer's Month listed several ways to observe the month, one of which was to speak up about the disease. I can't speak with authority about causes, treatment, cure, research, numbers affected, or what's on the horizon in relation to this insidious disease, but I can speak about my experience, so I'm devoting my next several posts to the warning signs.
When Mom first started exhibiting symptoms many years ago, public awareness of Alzheimer's was in its infancy. When someone misplaced a set of car keys or forgot a name, they joked about having "Some-timers," and some people stopped drinking soft drinks from aluminum cans and cooking in aluminum cookware in hopes of avoiding the disease. We were as uneducated as anyone, but if we had known the difference between typical age-related changes and the first signs of Alzheimer's disease, we might not have waited several years before consulting a doctor. The "Warning Signs" article has the following advice when you begin to notice changes:
Ask yourself: Is this something new? For example, if the person was never good at balancing a checkbook, struggling with this task is probably not a warning sign. But if their ability to balance a checkbook has changed a lot, it is something to share with a doctor…
To help, the Alzheimer's Association has created this list of warning signs for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Every individual may experience one or more of these in different degrees. If you notice any of them, please see a doctor.
The first warning sign is "memory changes that disrupt daily life." If you sometimes forget names or appointments, but remember them later, you're probably experiencing typical age-related changes. Here's the real warning sign:
One of the most common signs of Alzheimer's, especially in the early stages, is forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own.
The first symptom I noticed in Mom was what I called "the loop." She asked the same question or told the same story several times in a fifteen-minute conversation. She often forgot where we were going, and she always thought it was her birthday, regardless of whose big day we were celebrating. One of the most graphic examples of her inability to learn new tasks came early one Saturday when I got a call from an alarm company.
"An alarm is going off at your parent's house," said an unidentified female voice. "I can't reach them by phone, and you're listed as the secondary contact."
"You must have the wrong number," I said. "My parents don't have an alarm system."
"Oh, yes," she said. "We installed their system yesterday."
"Oh, really!" I said. "Can you hold a minute?"
I called Dad on my cell phone. When he picked up the phone, I heard an alarm blasting as he frantically explained how Mom had accidentally set it off. With a phone at each ear, I relayed instructions to him and restored silence. Obviously, I had some investigating to do.
Mom and Dad lived in a small house on a busy, well-lit corner within sight of the police station, but a salesman convinced them they needed a full alarm system. Within hours of its installation, they had set it off several times, and going over the instructions repeatedly only added to the confusion. When they moved in with us, Mom got confused if I bought a different brand of milk, so you can imagine how she dealt with key pads, number codes, and a panic button. I started making phone calls and eventually worked my way up to the owner of the company. After explaining the situation as patiently as possible and also explaining how interested the media is in companies that take advantage of the elderly, I convinced him to take out the system at no cost to my parents.
That was the beginning of our long journey, and we learned a lot along the way. There is not yet a cure, but early intervention and treatment can slow the disease and increase your loved one's quality of life.

What Are The very best Creams To stop Aging?
When you first see signs of getting older, your first instinct may be to panic. But there's nothing to be afraid of! There's plenty you can do to fight off aging's effects. In this article, you'll find some great suggestions that will help you cope with the many ways that aging changes you.
One of the things that you can do, in order to achieve slow getting older, is to avoid sugar. It is well known that sugar is one of the direct causes of growing older and by avoiding it, you will significantly increase your lifespan. Try to remind yourself of this fact, when sugary sweets and desserts are calling your name.
Be sure to protect your skin from the sun. Getting a bit of sun each day can be very beneficial but be sure to wear sunscreen while you do it. Overexposure can lead to wrinkles and even skin cancer. Taking care of your skin is vital to living a long and healthy youthful life.
Make sure you're getting enough sleep at night. The time you spend asleep is when your body relaxes and handles any problems that it needs to fix. You should be getting around seven to nine hours of sleep each night. This will leave you feeling rested and give your body a chance to recuperate from the previous day.
Make sure you're keeping hydrated. Your body relies heavily on water and if you're not getting enough of it, your skin is the first part of your body to suffer. This can lead to dry, lifeless skin and premature wrinkles. Not only that, but it can lead to internal problems as well. So make sure you're drinking enough water each day!
Sit down and write. This can be in a journal, blog, a letter or even writing a book or poem. Writing will exercise your brain because it makes you http://steven2008.com/?written-by-Sophia-Laporte-discovery-101-optimizing-performance-for-a-successful-health-tips-website.html think. It is also a great way to express yourself and generate new ideas. These things will keep you feeling wonderful and alive.
If you can, make sure you're including a decent amount of fish in your diet. The omega-3 fatty acids that are most commonly found in fish have been shown to aid skin development. This can keep your skin looking smooth and young much longer. If you're allergic to fish, look into omega-3 supplements.
When you get older, you tend to want to hold onto the past and resist change, but you should really embrace this change as the whole part of the process of getting older. It's all in the attitude. Look forward to them, and think of them as a new adventure.
Identify something you have always wanted to learn and take http://collapen.com/ lessons or read about it. Whether it is playing a musical instrument or just learning more about a particular subject, continuing your education either formally or informally is a great way to keep your mind and body active and engaged.
When caring for an aged family member who has Alzheimer's disease, it can become spiritually, financially and emotionally challenging. As a primary caregiver, you need to try to keep yourself from feeling totally depleted. To combat the feelings of depression, stress and exhaustion, while caring for your loved one, it is important to get proper exercise, nutrition, and also carve personal time away from the situation, by getting others to help in the caring process.
Tell your doctor about the medications you take. Bring a list of all prescription and non-prescription drugs, supplements, herbs and vitamins including dosage. If it's easier, bring the bottles. Your doctor should say if they are okay or have potentially bad interactions. As you age, you'll have an increasing chance of having bad side effects from medications, including those that are non-prescription or over-the-counter.
The one true way to slow growing older is by exercising. Exercising provides many health benefits and tones the body. Services and products such as plastic surgery or fancy creams will not help you. Rather, going down this road will have you looking like Michael Jackson before long. By starting out by doing something as little as walking, you can begin to feel and look younger than your real age.
As you start getting older, your metabolism slows down. So if you aren't at a weight you are comfortable with now, it will be even harder to keep your weight under control as you age. Take up exercise and get moving regularly, preferably 3 to 4 days a week.
As a body ages bone loss is a great risk. It is a greater risk for women going through menopause. Eat lots of dark leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, molasses and tofu. Adding seaweed to your diet is great, as seaweeds contain a lot of calcium and magnesium.
Start making a will. Death is a topic people don't like to talk about, but it is inevitable. When you feel ready, begin preparing your will and final papers so that your family knows how you would like things to be handled after you pass on. This will also make sure that there are not any family fights and disagreements later on.
If you are planning on going out with friends, one of the things that you should do is limit your alcohol intake. Alcohol will make you dehydrated, which will cause you to look much older. Try to stick to water or fruit drinks when you go out to improve how you feel and increase your life span.
Make sure that you are getting enough calcium in your diet by eating more calcium-rich foods or by taking a supplement. As you age, your bones can lose calcium and become brittle. Brittle bones mean you can get a serious fracture from just a moderate bump. Fractures also do not heal as quickly as you age.
When you wake up, take a multivitamin with the first meal or snack that you eat. If you work full-time, it may be hard to get all of the vitamins that you need, as a multivitamin will supply you with essential nutrients. Make sure not to take more than one vitamin, as this can have damaging affects to your body.
It might not be a picnic to grow old, but living a long life certainly beats any alternative you could throw out there. If you're concerned at all about getting older or just want to know a little bit more about the process, the tips in the article above should be able to help you out in numerous ways.

Hybrid Tablet App Connect Group Organization and Promotion
Client Need: A User Interface for church members to connect with the right connect group. The interface would need to allow the ability to browse for small groups by differeing criteria.
- Categorically browse small groups
- Search the leaders that lead the groups
- Engage in a interactive questionnaire that offers options according to their tabulated input
The Challenge: Create a super friendly interface that can contain the data, but make it easy to get to, understand and act on the data given to interface with additional software for registration opportunities. This app must be simple and quick and for the user who is not only new to tablets and/or hybrid interfaces but possibly also new to the connect groups they are searching, this app must take them from start to finish even if they do not know where in the hierarchy they belong.
How do you leverage today's technology, circumvent the App Store guidelines for speed and dexterity, and produce a way to channel all group activity into one streamlined presence? Plus it needs to be easy enuff for the most challenged of users to navigate? With a Hybrid Tablet App, that's how!
Database Dev
The leader profile page would link to their group page and vice versa. A registration button from the group info page leads to their online event registration software. The client needed full control to add, edit and delete leaders, groups and questions. A custom admin form was needed for consistency and searchability.

My wonderful hubz has recently purchased a stand mixer for me. This and many other factors have contributed to my desire to become better at making baked goods.
Last week I tried my hand at my very first angel food cake. I used the recipe from my Grandmother's cookbooks. (I cherish those books)
The main inspiration for my angel food cake decision was this really cool cake pan that I purchased a few years ago. The pan was feeling lonely and neglected, so I thought that since angel food cake is usually round and this pan was also round that it was a match made in heaven.
Not so much. My really cool pan was actually a bundt cake pan. It is a beautiful pan designed to create a cake that looks like a rose. For any cake that is not like angel food cake, this can probably would have been sufficient. Angel food cake has very specific instructions for not greasing the pan in any way. I read somewhere that it is because the batter is made with egg whites and it needs to stick to the sides of the pan to raise properly.
As a result of my ignorance, the cake did not want to be removed from the pan and the pan was extremely difficult to clean.
I served the cake to my poor unsuspecting co-workers. They seemed to enjoy it. 🙂
I created a cinnamon whipped cream to serve with the cake. I elected to keep it simple with just the cake and cream. I was not sure on what kind of fruit I would have wanted to add to the cake without putting my own personal opinion onto the selection. (I think I would have chosen Kiwi or Strawberry) I am an acknowledged oddball, so, I think people were happier without the kiwi.
Here is a link to the whipped cream recipe. I don't think I will ever purchase whipped cream from a store again.
It is WAY too easy to make it myself.
One thing I learned in this whole fun process was that I can substitute Amaretto for almond extract. According to my googling, almond extract already has a bit of alcohol content.
Basic Angel Food Cake Recipe (10-12 servings)
I calculated this cake to 7 Smart Points per Slice (Assuming 12 servings per cake)
- 1 cup sifted Cake Flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups egg whites (10 – 12 medium sized eggs)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (I used Amaretto)
- Sift together flower and 3/4 cup of sugar until fully sifted. This will be multiple times… get sifting
- Beat yo eggs and add in the salt and cream of tartar at high speeds until it is fluffy
- Slowly add in the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar into the egg whites small portions at a time. Be sure to mix a lot each time 🙂
- Continue to beat yo eggs until you see stiff peaks.
- Add the vanilla and almond extract into your eggy goodness
- Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into your eggy eggwhites (2 tbsp at a time)
- Use a spatula or a whip
- Pour batter into an UNGREASED tube pan
- Bake in pre-headed 350 degree oven for 40 – 50 minutes or until it looks golden brown
- Flip pan over and let it cool upside down for an hour or so.
- Placing the pan on something cone shaped like a funnel or bottle or your nose can help with the cooling process.
- Cut cake out of the pan however is easiest for you. If you have used the proper pan (unlike me) this should literally be a piece of cake

If someone uses your smartphone without your knowledge, or your phone is lost or stolen, you need to be confident that your personal data and accounts are secure. OPPO phones use multi-factor authentication to make sure only you can unlock your device.
Depending on the model of OPPO smartphone you have, you may be able to unlock your phone, secure apps and perform other functions using your unique fingerprint. You can add up to 5 different fingerprints on your OPPO phone, which can't be easily hacked like a passcode can.
Fingerprint scanners are now a common feature on phones across all price ranges. By storing your unique fingerprint in your phone, you can lock or unlock the device, secure apps and files or even make purchases simply by touching the screen when asked. But how do fingerprint scanners work?
There are three major types of fingerprint scanning technology, which offer different levels of security.
1. Optical scanners – rarely used today, these scanners take an image of the fingerprint and analyse this image to determine whether it's a match for the saved fingerprint. However, as optical scanners only scan a 2D image, they can sometimes be fooled by false fingerprints or photos. The hardware required is also too bulky to suit today's modern slimline smartphones.
2. Capacitive scanners – the most common type of fingerprint scanner on smartphones, capacitive scanners use conductive plates that detect the ridges and valleys of fingerprints pressed against them. These scanners are much harder to fool than optical scanners, especially at higher resolutions, but they may still be prone to hacking.
3. Ultrasonic sensors – a new type of fingerprint scanning technology used in high-end smartphones such as the OPPO R17 Pro, the scanner sends out an ultrasonic pulse that is absorbed or bounced back by the ridges, valleys and pores of the fingerprint. This creates a detailed 3D image of the scanned fingerprint that is very difficult to fool.
Unlike passwords that may be guessed or hacked, a fingerprint is unique to the individual. Someone looking over your shoulder may see you enter your passcode or phone pattern code and remember it, but they won't be able to use your fingerprint.
Even if someone doesn't know your password, the chance of guessing or cracking a four-digit passcode is 1 in 10,000, while the probability of a fingerprint matching is 1 in 50,000. Security experts recommend using two-step authentication that combines a passcode with fingerprint or face recognition for extra security.
It's recommended that you set a passcode and save your fingerprint or face ID when you set up your OPPO phone for the first time. You need to set a passcode first before you can add a fingerprint.
This guide is applicable for OPPO smartphones using ColorOS 5.0 and above. You can check what ColorOS version you're using by going to [Settings] > [About phone].
There are several types of passcodes to choose from on OPPO phones. Depending on the model you have, these can include:
· 6 Digit Numeric Code – the default passcode option, a numbers-only passcode containing 6 characters
· Pattern Code – a phone pattern with at least 4 dots connected in a line
· 4 Digit Numeric Code – a numbers-only passcode containing 4 characters
· 4-16 Digit Numeric Code – a numbers-only passcode containing between 4 and 16 characters
· 4-16 Digit Alphanumeric Code – a passcode containing between 4 and 16 numbers and/or letters
A passcode is more secure than a phone pattern. The longer and more complex a passcode is, the more secure it will be. To set your passcode:
1. Go to [Settings] > [Fingerprint, Face & Passcode]
2. Tap [Turn on Passcode]
3. Set a 6-digit passcode or choose [Other Encryptions] to enter a different type of passcode or phone pattern
4. Enter your passcode or draw your phone pattern again to confirm and activate the code
After you've set a passcode, you can add one or more fingerprints to your phone.
1. Go to [Settings] > [Fingerprint, Face & Passcode]
2. Tap [Add a Fingerprint]
3. Gently place your finger on the [Home] button until you're notified that the fingerprint has been recorded
4. You can choose to repeat the above steps to save up to 4 more fingerprints
Now that your fingerprint has been saved, you can set it as the default authentication to unlock your phone.
As well as locking your phone, you can also use fingerprint sensors to secure apps and protect your private data. To enable app lock on OPPO phones:
1. Go to [Settings] > [Security] > [App Lock]
2. Enter a passcode and security question or choose [Other Encryptions] to use a phone pattern lock, 4-16 digit alphanumeric code or fingerprint encryption if this option is supported
3. Select the app or apps you want to lock. Toggle [Start Passcode Verification] until you see a padlock symbol on the app.
Anyone trying to use the app on your phone will now be asked to complete authentication.
If you want to delete any fingerprints saved on your phone, or to add a name to a fingerprint, here's how do to it:
1. Go to [Settings] > [Fingerprint, Face & Passcode]
2. Select one of the fingerprints you've saved
3. Edit name details or tap [Delete Fingerprint]
After deleting a fingerprint, you should save a new fingerprint to make sure your device is still as secure as possible.
If you want to reset your phone passcode or you've forgotten the passcode, you can use your fingerprint to access the device and enter a new password. At least one fingerprint must be saved to your phone already for this to work.
If you can't get past the lockscreen of your phone, here's what to do:
1. Enter your passcode incorrectly five times
2. Your phone will ask you to wait for 30 seconds before trying again
3. Choose the option [Use Fingerprint to Reset Passcode]
4. Place your finger on the screen as instructed to unlock the phone
5. Set and confirm your new passcode
If your phone is already unlocked, but you've forgotten your passcode, you can change it using your fingerprint in the [Settings] menu:
1. Go to [Settings] > [Fingerprint, Face & Passcode]
2. Enter your passcode incorrectly five times
3. Your phone will ask you to wait for 30 seconds before trying again
4. Choose the option [Tap to reset passcode]
5. Place your finger on the screen as instructed to unlock the phone
6. Set and confirm your new passcode
If you already know your passcode but you want to change it, you don't need to use your fingerprint. You can simply use your existing passcode for verification.
1. Go to [Settings] > [Fingerprint, Face & Passcode]
2. Select [Modify Passcode]
3. Enter your existing passcode or phone pattern
4. Enter the new passcode or phone pattern you want to use, choosing [Other Encryptions] to see more options
5. Enter the new code again to confirm it
It's recommended that you change your passcode periodically to help keep your phone more secure.
If you want to turn off the passcode, select [Turn off Passcode] from the menu and enter your code to confirm.
Not all OPPO smartphones use fingerprint scanners, but all phones do have multiple means of locking and securing the device. Find out more details about specific models below.
No. For its new budget range phone the OPPO A3s, OPPO has opted to replace the fingerprint sensor with face unlock. This makes it easier to unlock the phone if you have wet hands or you're wearing gloves. You can also secure the phone using a traditional passcode.
Yes. The OPPO A73 offers flagship features at an affordable price, including both a fingerprint scanner and facial recognition as two additional encryption options to passcodes. Touch your phone to unlock or hold it up to your face as if you're saying hi.
Yes. The Hero Device OPPO R17 Pro features OPPO's new hidden fingerprint sensor that can unlock the phone instantly by touching the fingerprint logo at the bottom middle. This advanced ultrasonic sensor makes unlocking your phone and apps more convenient, as well as being ultra secure.
