The Economic Landscape Post Katrina
Carl PellegriniThe U. S. economy is currently experiencing a contraction in production that is due to a disruption of Supply. Economists always analyze fluctuations of Demand and assume that Supply is not a constraint. The hurricanes and the level of energy prices have acted to reduce available and effective Supply.
The airlines have announced cutbacks of flights due to fuel costs; individuals are cutting back on driving; the list goes on and on. This behavior means less eating out and less income for travel related business. The hurricanes destroyed the homes of workers along the coast; these workers need a place to live so to be able to work for the firms that sell outside the local trading area. Temporary housing is being obtained for these workers, but this process takes time, more time than going through the fast food drive in lane at McDonalds.
The current level of energy prices has severely disrupted the economics of many industries, fertilizer and transportation being the most obvious. Firms that did not have long term supply contracts for their energy supply must obtain their raw materials in the spot market. If contracts for delivery of product had already been entered into, embodying assumptions of lower cost, losses are incurred.
Customers have budgets, both consumer and business; if substitutes are not available for these impacted higher priced products, then consumption is reduced or funds are borrowed in order to maintain purchases until other plans are decided upon. Just look at yourself or ask your circle of friends how they are responding. Understanding human behavior is not rocket science; common sense is a reliable guide.
The financial consequences of this economic disruption are expected to feed upon the real world adjustments. Bad debts must be written off. All too many auto and home loans will not be repaid. The behavior of short term and long term lenders will determine the second installment of this shock to the system. Will they assume more, less, or the same amount of risk?
To the extent that people do not return to the New Orleans area, business decisions and new loans affecting that area will be slow being made. The desire to fund hurricane relief by cutting growth in existing Federal government programs means that decisions will be slow being made and a much wider circle of impacted firms is created. If your firm was assuming a given level of revenue related to growth of government spending, and now that growth is now in jeopardy, how do you respond?
Again, understanding human behavior is not rocket science; common sense is a reliable guide

Overall, I'm really happy with the changes being previewed and I'm pretty excited in particular for the way my beloved Evil Sunz have been introduced into the game. They've got an awesome trait (+1 to move (2 if you're a Speed freek unit), +1 to advance and charge, move and fire assault weapons at full BS) and an awesome relic/warlord trait, and for that I'll gladly take a mostly-useless stratagem.
My first list is pretty much "how I initially imagined my ork army playing when I started them in fifth"
Ork Brigade
Gretchin X4 120
Boyz X10 70 with Klaw 13 and Big Shoota 5

Now with all these new vehicle rules I can make the glorious, varied, crazy ork horde I always wanted to have. All the new rules are at the very least "Scott level competitive" except for the squigbuggy, which is unfortunate because I love the looks of the thing I just can't justify it. It's so weak for 140 points.
List number 2 is mostly just a celebration of the crazy ork walker conversions I loved that drove me into something of a Mek Mob style list after I got bored of traditional Speed Freeks:
2x Ork Battalions
Mega Mek with Klaw+KFF+KMB 119
Big Mek with KFF 75

Killa Kanz: 6 with rokkits 336
Boomdakka Snazzwagon 100

I love the Spring when the landscape burst forth with vibrant shades of green and the perennials let me know that once again they have survived the winter! Here's a little photo stroll around the grounds.
This year I'm trying all zinnias in the driveway garden (between the daffodils). I hope they do better than the marigolds last year.
My decorated duck for the community art project (QuackQuackGreenville) is now up on the porch for a better view of the garden.

During our Monday Board of Control meeting, I had the honor of seeing three very deserving people honored for their decades of dedicated service to this institution. The board bestowed emeriti status to Merry Jo Brandimore, associate provost for Student Affairs and dean of students; Gene Hamilton, director of external affairs, and Gladys Zubulake, professor of modern foreign languages. Between the three of them, they have offered a combined 105 years of service to SVSU. Along with the emeriti status, the board also honored Merry Jo and Gene by attaching their names to facilities in a way that reflects their legacies here. Merry Jo, whose 33 years at SVSU included helping students feel at home in our residential housing, will see Living Center North become M.J. Brandimore House. Gene, whose early accomplishments also involved coaching our basketball program, will see Cardinal Gymnasium become Hamilton Gymnasium. Gene coached the very first game in that gym when it opened in 1971. These are fitting tributes to extraordinary people. We wouldn't be the institution we are today without their contributions. Thank you, Merry Jo, Gene and Gladys.
The Board acted on other important business Monday, including keeping SVSU tuition the lowest among the 15 state universities. A tuition increase of 4.19 percent was part of the 2016-17 general fund operating budget adopted during the Board's meeting. We continue to do all that we can to maintain our commitment to affordability for our students and their families. While our tuition remains the lowest among Michigan's public universities, the quality of teaching and learning at SVSU has never been higher. We provide an exceptional educational value for our students.
The education we offer our students is expanding too, as we meet the ever-evolving demands of both our students and the industries that will employ them one day. On Monday, the Board added four academic programs including a new graduate degree. The Master of Arts - Public Administration program will be offered to students beginning this fall semester. Undergraduate students in the fall also will be able to pursue bachelor's degrees in neuroscience, elementary teaching for international students, and middle/secondary teaching for international students. I'm excited to see how these new programs will shape our institution and our students.
I'm very happy to hear our Fieldhouse is featured in the June edition of The Athletic Business Magazine as part of its Architectural Showcase feature (see page 64). We are proud of our beautiful facilities, so I'm always pleased when we receive this kind of recognition from the media. The Fieldhouse is one of the newest additions to our campus, yet its wonderful amenities and attractive structure are quickly making it recognizable for the community. This latest coverage should boost that trend.
It's always a delight to welcome new people to the university. We were lucky enough recently to host a number of students from Shenyang Aerospace University in China during a two-week workshop hosted by our Art Department These workshops covered photography, ceramics, painting and graphic design. I'd like to thank everyone who helped make these visiting students feel welcomed.
I had the pleasure of speaking at Michigan Career Educator and Employer Alliance's 6th Annual Conference in Frankenmuth today. In my presentation, titled "The Future of Higher Education, STEM and Michigan Economy," I was able to talk about a number of topics very familiar to our university. It was a great opportunity to share the optimism I have about the road ahead for higher education and our state's industries.
The two-day conference also showcased one of our outstanding graduates. Courtney Seamon, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in marketing in May, was the recipient of the conference's statewide New Graduate Essay award. She earned a $1,000 award for the accomplishment. Courtney is no stranger to the acclaim. She has presented her research on Super Bowl advertisements at national conferences with the collaboration of Rama Yelkur, our dean of the College of Business & Management. I'm happy to see Courtney's success continue beyond her studies here at SVSU, and I know we'll be hearing about more of her accomplishments in the future.
Our students aren't the only Cardinals accomplishing great things these days. I'd like to congratulate Roberto Garcia, school improvement and transition specialist, on graduating from Leadership Saginaw County, a personal and community leadership development program. I'd also like to applaud David Abbs, our former Board of Control chair, who was selected as the 2016 recipient of the Marsh-Princing Leadership Award, which is given to alumni of Leadership Saginaw County.
Speaking of leadership: Students Jaeleen Davis and Mallory Rivard, along with May graduate Ashli Maser, are outstanding leaders who will be competing for the Miss Michigan crown this weekend. Their passion for helping others is part of the reason they are among 34 women in contention for the pageant. Jaeleen is an advocate for Wigs 4 Kids, a nonprofit helping youths suffering from hair loss. Ashli has worked with members of our state legislature to support putting more guidance counselors in our K-12 system. Mallory volunteered during the Saginaw VA2K and Annual Health Fair, raising funds for homeless veterans. It's great to see such strong advocates of community engagement receiving this kind of recognition.

Greek Phone Books, Phone Codes and Phone Directories
Finding a Greek phone number is free online, and there are several free residential and business phone directories in English. The country calling code of Greece is 30, and every regular Greek telephone number (area code + subscriber number) has ten digits. There are currently two-, three-, and four-digit geographical area codes, so the length of the subscriber's number varies. The only two-digit Greek phone code is 21 for the Athens. To make an international call from Greece dial 00 + country code and number.
Free telephone number search
The Hellenic Telecommunications Organization S.A., usually known by its Greek initials OTE, is the former monopoly and still the biggest telecommunications player in Greece. They're the best way to find a listed residential or business phone number.
The OTE White Pages
(http://www.11888.gr/home) is the free official OTE "11.888" white pages for people and businesses in Greece (residential is the third button alon on the navigation, use Google Translate). You can also do a reverse search with the full ten digit telephone number.
The Greek Yellow Pages
(http://www.xo.gr/default.aspx?la=2) are the Greek yellow pages in English (or just choose language link on top right of the search page). The site has been "beta" for ages. but it's still effective at finding phone numbers!

Our own Ed Matheson (actually Richard E. Matheson, but no one knows that name) in Fisheries Independent Monitoring took the time to give us a glimpse into his illustrious past this week, so let's dive in:
What are your degrees?
B.S. and M.A. from the College of William and Mary in 1975 and 1979, respectively; PhD from Texas A&M University in 1983.
What has your professional experience been like?
I have been at the Institute since 1987, but before that time I had postdoctoral fellowships at Harbor Branch Institution in Fort Pierce, Florida, and at Rutgers University in Tuckerton, New Jersey. At various times during my tenure at FWRI, I have lectured in some classes at USF and been an adjunct at USF, UF, and UCF for the purpose of serving on graduate student committees. My work at FWRI began with supervising a four-year study of the Little Manatee River (in the Fish Biology Section). Later on, I moved to the Fisheries-Independent Monitoring Program (FIM), where I have been ever since.
What are you working on now?
Most of my time is spent assisting the various FIM field labs with fish identification and improving the identification keys that we have for various families of fishes. I also write or co-write various manuscripts and edit other manuscripts for FWRI staff. In addition, I often assist with fish identification for the public when information requests are sent to the lab.
How is this information beneficial?
Accurate information on the distribution and abundance of fishes in Florida is necessary for informed fishery and ecosystem management. This is obviously true for fishes of direct economic value, but it is also true for non-harvested species who are predators, competitors, and prey for the harvested species. Information on the latter species becomes even more important as we develop more ecosystem-level management strategies.
What is your typical work day like?
My work days vary a lot, but I spend considerable amounts of time identifying fish for the FIM program, assisting FIM personnel in fish identification, and compiling information useful for the identification of Florida species. Other frequently recurring activities include writing and editing manuscripts and identifying fish for the public. The latter activity is obviously an important part of our outreach efforts, but it has also produced some interesting fish records. Most photos from the public are common species, but every now and then we get something really rare, such as the jellynose fish (we're up to three specimens now of this rare deep sea fish).
What is your greatest career accomplishment?
Other than surviving this long, I suppose it would be developing expertise on the identification, distribution, and abundance of Florida fishes, including juvenile stages. By training FIM staff in fish identification and producing materials (e.g., identification keys) useful for identification of Florida fishes, I hope I have made some contribution to the excellent reputation of the FIM program for producing high quality, accurate data. There are about 1,200 species in what I would call the FWRI universe: Florida waters from freshwater to the edge of the continental shelf. Nobody arrives at FWRI with knowledge of this entire fauna; it has to be obtained over years of hands-on experience and study, and I still learn something new almost every day.
What are some of your biggest challenges?
In fish identification it is developing methods for identifying poorly known species. This is especially true for offshore species; species groups containing multiple, closely related species which are difficult to separate; and for juveniles of various species.
What do you like most about your career?
Assisting FIM staff, other FWRI staff, and the public with fish identification, and watching young staff members develop their skills in this area.
Was this your original career interest? Why or why not?
Working on something involving water was always my main interest. From fishing and keeping aquaria as a kid to studying biology in college, this never changed. I could have studied aquatic insects at one point (sorry fish people, but these may be the coolest animals on the planet and very few people know anything about them), but ichthyology was a much better career choice.
What would you be doing if you weren't involved in science?
Probably still something involving the natural world. Park Ranger? Nature photographer? Also, I love old movies, so perhaps I would be involved in the film industry. Nature documentaries?
What advice would you give to someone interested in pursuing a career in your field?
Only do it out of love for the work. If you get into this field for the money, you are not thinking very clearly. Most of us make enough money to pay our bills, but there's not much room for error. But, if you really love the work, by all means become a marine biologist. If you love it enough, it's not really like having a job.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I do a lot of nature photography. I am by no means an expert, and I insist on using an outdated camera that I have been using for years. Nevertheless, I still come up with some good shots. As I mentioned above, I also love old movies, TCM channel is great.

Who are the Garou?
In Werewolf: The Apocalypse, players control characters who are known as Garou, or in more familiar terms, werewolves. They live in packs, and uphold balance in nature, fighting otherworldly spirits.
Their primary enemy is the Wyrm, a dark and corrupting force of evil and chaos that strives to bring about the apocalypse. The Garou fight to prevent this, but they are slowly losing the battle. For the Garou, there is no reward for service, whereas the Wyrm offer followers riches, power, sex, and just about anything else that would turn their hearts. It's not unheard of for a Garou to switch sides and join the followers of the Wyrm.
For more information on Garou society and tribes, read the wiki at Wikipedia.org.
The Official Werewolf: The Apocalypse Character Sheets
As with any role-playing game, no character is complete without a character sheet to record ability scores, calculate ability modifiers and to record items and equipment.
White Wolf offers official Werewolf: The Apocalypse character sheets here for free.
I personally like to stick with the official characters sheets that are put out by the game's publishers. Generally speaking you can rest assured that all the bases are covered, and they didn't accidentally leave out a field or a chart you may need. Also, they order in which the information is printed on the official character sheets corresponds to the order in which it appears in the official rule books.
For instance, if the rule books list the modifiers in a particular order, you can bet that the character sheet will also list them in the same order, so you're not putting your wisdom modifier where your strength modifier should be, and so on.
Note: Their likes appear to not be working. I've contacted White Wolf about this issue, and will update this article and post a comment when this changes. in the meantime, the official Werewolf: The Apocalypse character sheets can be downloaded here at RPGSheets.com.
Other Character Sheets
For those of you who are not impressed by the official Werewolf: The Apocalypse character sheets, or are perhaps just looking for something a little more custom, there are many resources online for third-party Werewolf: The Apocalypse character sheets.
Mr. Gone offers a wide array of Werewolf: The Apocalypse character sheets. There are interactive tribe sheets, interactive changing breed sheets, and many others as well. They're all downloadable in PDF form. Most of these sheets are two pages long, but some of them are four.
He's also got a host of other White Wolf character sheets. check out Mr. Gone's character sheet archive.
Get The Game and Comment!
Werewolf: The Apocalypse is an older game now, and as such it's out of print. However you can still get the rules books and accessories at GatorGames here!
TIP: This system also relies heavily on the d10. A successful skill roll means the player has rolled an 8, 9, or a 10 on a d10. The more well-trained in the skill the character is, the more d10s the player gets to roll on any given check. If the character had 3 dots in a particular skill, the player gets three d10 to try to roll above a 7. It wouldn't hurt to make sure you have several sets of dice on hand, or at least multiple d10s!
If you've played Werewolf: The Apocalypse and want to share some of your experiences, or have a character sheet of your own that you'd like to recommend, please post a comment below and share!

Do I Look Fat To You?
Please welcome Cheri to the sofa.
I hate my body. When I look in the mirror all I see is a fat girl staring back at me. I'm not over weight according to standard medical charts but I feel fat. I'm not sure when it all started but it is getting out of control. I have started binging and purging on a regular basis now. Is it all in my head or do I really look fat? I just don't know anymore. I have tried to stop my eating disorder by focusing on other things like a new hobby or exercise. Nothing seems to work. I don't want to destroy my health but I can't bear the thought of being over weight. I wish I could see what other people see when they look at me or maybe I don't.
Junie: Cheri my guess is that the fat girl in the mirror is only visable to you. If you are not over weight by medical standards then the image you have of yourself isn't real. Get some medical help before the b&b takes a toll on your health. Good luck.

cheri, this is a hard thing to deal with by yourself. please, if you can, find a close friend or family member you trust, to help you with this? because binging & purging is a horrible way to live. you honestly deserve a better life than that! it's hard to be a slave to ANYTHING, food, smoking, sex…and I know you're stronger than this! I don't know you, but I have faith in you, if only because you've been strong enough to take the first step in writing here.
Comment by libby | January 7, 2009
No, no, no. Please do not do this to yourself. It is indeed in your head as JJ states and according to women I know who have had eating disorders, that is where the real problem is. Please get help for this as doing this stuff for a long period of time can have serious consequences.

Hey lovelies, so I thought it was time to write another post about my little guy because he's six months now and he's grown so much and I've learnt so much more about him and his personality. Plus he's such a cute kitten! Also national black cat day was last month so why not share some black cat love even if it is late.
1) He's massive for a kitten
My little Oscar eats the same amount as a full size cat, he's almost fully grown except the fact he's a little stumpy still. He doesn't fit inside his kitten play toys anymore and he can now get onto every surface in the house. When I first got him he was so tiny he couldn't even get onto my desk.
2) He eats everythingHe's a food thief, he's almost as bad as a dog. When we get pizza or takeout he will literally climb onto my lap, push my hand/ fork out of the way and attempt to steal the food. If you cook dinner he sits ontop of the microwave and watches you the whole time in the hope that you'll give him some, and who it's time for his meals he goes absolutely crazy - like climbing up doors and chasing you around the house till you feed him crazy.
3) He's so curiousHe loves to explore new places, whenever he goes to a new house he doesn't get scared or anything he just gets straight into finding the best places to hide and pouncing on everything. He also really loves spaces that are so much smaller than he is - he once pulled off the side of the bath and crawled into were all the pipes are and we had to save him.
4) He has a really lazy eyeI've always been convinced that he's blind in one eye - vets have agreed theres a possibility because he has one sort of cloudy eye but he was slightly too aggressive towards the vet for them to take a real look ( he's going for a proper examination soon). The eye is really lazy as well and sometimes he blinks out of tune with the other eye with it.
5) He prefers objects to toysHe has a ton of toys ( he is one very spoilt cat) but doesn't really touch them at all, he loves to play with notebooks, pens, the drying rack and pans. He will play with absolutely anything and when he was a kitten he used to pull on my hair and jump on my head thinking my hair was a toy.
He's such a cutie so I thought I'd share this little post with you because who doesn't love a little kitten post!

Local Power Pivot User Groups
Do you want to learn more about Power Pivot? Rob Collie is trying to gauge interest of people who would join a local user group. Drop in at his page to register your city.
Even Excel 2013 Non-Commercial Includes Power Pivot
My contacts at Microsoft have confirmed that any stand-alone boxed version of Excel 2013 will include Power Pivot.
While Microsoft sees this as a single SKU, Amazon.com actually carries three such SKUs:
- A non-commercial version of Excel. List Price $80. Currently less than $72. Sold as a key card here.
- A stand-alone Excel 2013. List Price $109. Currently $98 as a key card. Sold here.
- A stand-alone Excel 2013. List Price $109. Currently $99.99 for instant download. Sold here.
The non-commercial license is not to be used in revenue activities. It might be great for students or people who want to track millions of records around the home.
Power Pivot and Power View 2013 Now Included with Excel 2013 Standalone Box Edition
Big breaking news today from Microsoft. You can finally buy Power Pivot 2013 in a box.
Starting today, if you purchase the full boxed edition of Excel 2013 (currently $98 at Amazon.com), the download will include Excel 2013, plus Power Pivot 2013 and Power View 2013. It will presumably include the rest of the Power BI stack once those get released. If you previously purchased the Excel 2013 boxed edition, at the next update of Office, you will get the full version.
Why is this big news? Since February 2013, there was no way to buy a boxed edition from a retailer that included Power Pivot. Everything you could buy at Amazon did not include Power Pivot. You either had to license Office 365 Pro Plus at $12 a month, or go through Volume Licensing (E3 or E4) package to get Power Pivot. This was incredibly frustrating, since Power Pivot is so powerful, particularly for people without big I.T. departments.
Note that as of today, none of the boxed editions of Office 2013 include Power Pivot. It is only the boxed edition of Excel. This is roughly symmetrical with Excel 2003, when the boxed edition of Excel 2003 included some high-end features that were not in Office 2003 Standard.
To purchase from Amazon.com, follow this link.
Update Aug 20, 2013: Microsoft confirmed that the $79 non-commercial version of Excel *does* include Power Pivot. This SKU is for home use.
For confirmation of this story, see this Microsoft blog post which was edited today to include Excel 2013 Stand-alone.

2012: Advent Biology: Buzz?
Courtesy of a conversation in the pub I had this evening, bees!
To elaborate a little on that…
Cultivating honeybees is a very long standing agricultural practice. It serves as much more than a source of honey: these insect pollinators are valuable to both the crops we grow and to wild plants. Without them and their wild counterparts, many plant species would not be capable of reproducing.
We take advantage of this to grow crops in quantities far vaster than ever seen naturally: as well as fruit and veg, specialty crops like almonds would be in trouble without insects visiting and 'setting' the crop. To meet large demands like these which outclass the availability of wild pollinators which after all, evolved with a quite different ecosystem, commercial beekeepers load their hives onto trucks and take a road trip. From a hive or two in the garden to truckloads of hives spending a few weeks upwards on many acres of orchard, apiarists and their bees provide a service needed by the agricultural community.
These cultivated hives are going to be having an effect on the wild bees and other pollinating insects though. From disease spreading (viruses, mites, bacteria and fungi are all causes for empty hives) to competition for food, they are not free of blame when the decline of wild insect populations is brought into the spotlight. Neither are the chemicals we use on crops, our crop choice and poor weather. It's also important to note that honeybee populations are cyclic-there is a distinct crash in numbers every 10 years, in both wild and cultivated bees.
So while there's currently a high interest in beekeeping on a small scale, there's also worry over the state of the wild pollinators, and trouble in the commercial bee world, especially over the phenomenon of Colony Collapse Disorder, finding a hive of dead and dying bees after winter, without an immediately visible cause though parasitic mites are one of the likely suspects. It rather goes without saying that the more we study them, the better we'll get at looking after our own and the wild bees. Fully understanding how bees work for us and with the ecosystem, that would be the ideal, but it's probably very far off still.

DUBLIN – ARTS BUILDING, BARCLEY LIBRARY – TRINITY COLLEGEPosted: June 25, 2011 Filed under: ARCHITECTURE OF : IRELAND | Tags: abk architects, ahrends, architecture, burton, cities, college, concrete, concrete cladding, contemporary, courtyard, europe, flat roof, glazing, ireland, koralek, landscape, nassau street, old continent, pure concrete, sculpture, sills, stone, stone cladding, trinity, trinity college, university, window frames Leave a comment
Dublin's most popular place to study is obviously Trinity College.The historical building is most desirable university in Ireland, but here I would like to present the newest part of it , an extention built in 1979 and then extended once again by the same architectural practice ABK – Ahrens, Burton, Koralek .
Located along the Nassau Street with the other two blocks forms the second courtyard of the college
The original design of the rear elevations from late 70′ was refreshed with the second extention to front, with it's new concrete or stone cladding, slender openings and windows contrasting with the other big windows.
One can see an architects desire to show the play of the bulks, the simplicity of forms and a great affection to finishes and details.Contemporary look is also achieved by using the flat roofs, horizontal stone bands between the cladding, incorporating the pressed insulated aluminium panels withing some doors and windows.
Of the courtyard side we can also see how big attention was paid the landscape architecture, paving, sculptures, external stairs, balustrades.
The building is known at present as Arts Building Extention and Barkley Library.

April Health ObservancesOverview
The month of April brings awareness to esophageal cancer, sarcoidosis, and the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation.
Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month
April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to learn the facts about esophageal cancer and become familiar with the symptoms and risk factors.
Esophageal cancer is one of the fastest-growing cancer diagnoses in the United States, with nearly 18,440 new cases diagnosed each year, according to the American Cancer Society. One American dies of esophageal cancer every 36 minutes, which makes awareness and education so important.
Esophageal cancer is not entirely preventable, but knowing the risk factors and recognizing the symptoms can aid in early diagnosis.
Risk factors for esophageal cancer include:
• Obesity
• Smoking
• Alcohol usage
• Hiatal Hernia
• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Common symptoms of esophageal cancer include:
• Difficult or painful swallowing
• Weight loss
• Blood in the stool
• Loss of appetite
• Feeling very tired
• Heartburn (GERD)
• Pain in the throat or back
• Hoarseness or coughing
If you experience symptoms of esophageal cancer or feel that you may be at risk, schedule an appointment with your health care provider. Your doctor will review your health history, symptoms, and perform a physical exam to determine if further testing is necessary. Don't be afraid to mention any questions or concerns you may have.
Learn more about esophageal cancer.
Read a patient's personal journey through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from esophageal cancer.
National Donate Life Month
Celebrated in April each year, National Donate Life Month (NDLM) encourages Americans to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors and to celebrate those who have saved lives through the gift of donation.
Organ and tissue transplants are needed by people everywhere in the US. According to Donate Life America, there are currently 113,000 people waiting for an organ, with another person added to the waiting list every 10 minutes.
People of all ages and medical histories should consider themselves potential donors. Currently, there are 120 million people in the US who are registered as organ donors. For information about becoming one, visit Donate Life America or United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).
The public is encouraged to wear blue and green on April 17, 2020, in an effort to promote the success of organ, eye, and tissue transplantation and the need for registered donors.
Sarcoidosis Awareness Month
National Sarcoidosis Awareness Month brings attention to sarcoidosis and encourages further research into this rare condition. There are more than 200,000 people in the US with sarcoidosis, according to the CHEST Foundation.
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease in which the immune system goes into overdrive, causing cells to group together into clumps called granulomas. While more than 90% of cases affect the lungs and lymph nodes, sarcoidosis also can cause skin and eye damage. Occasionally, those with sarcoidosis develop granulomas and inflammation in their hearts, which can trigger abnormal heart rhythms and heart failure.
Sarcoidosis can affect people of any age, but 70% of patients are ages 20 to 40, reports the CHEST Foundation. In addition, women are more likely to develop sarcoidosis.
Many patients never have symptoms, and the disease is diagnosed only because a chest X-ray is taken for another reason. In most of these cases, the disease improves by itself. However, your overactive immune system may lead to flu-like symptoms such as:
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Night sweats
- Joint pain
- Fatigue
After you're diagnosed with sarcoidosis, your doctor will determine if you need treatment. If your symptoms are severe or organ function is threatened, you will likely be treated with medication. Organ transplant may be considered if sarcoidosis has severely damaged the lungs, heart, or liver. However, up to 30% of patients with sarcoidosis have symptoms improve without treatment. But even if there are no symptoms, patients with sarcoidosis should have breathing tests, electrocardiogram, blood tests, and an eye examination to uncover possible problems that may need to be addressed.
For more information, visit the CHEST Foundation.

There's a problem with fools who don't realize the potential value in uncut diamonds. They tend to get caught up in praising dirty chunks of pyrite-inflected concrete and glorifying petrified pieces of shit, thinking they've struck gold.
Those of us who have tried in vain to school the ignorant can only shake our heads, cherish our pocketful of precious stones, and keep it moving. After all, there is little time to waste in this life when there are so many treasures yet to discover.
Capable of producing both gems and a bunch of rubble, our minds are our mines. Be wary of what you present and put on a pedestal. Mind your mine and mind your business.

SCi Interactive, the company behind the "Tomb Raider" franchise, is raising about $119 million in cash through sale of new shares. Time Warner (TWX) is buying about $30 million of those, on top of their $90 million investment in 2006, which, at the time, got them 10% of the company. That original investment is now only worth about $11 million.
SCi had been in buyout talks recently, and rejected a potential suitor because they said the offer undervalued the company. The company is drowning in debt and posted a big operating loss for the last half of last year, so a buyout was seen as one of its few options to stay afloat. Unclear: Who that suitor was, and why Time Warner's Jeff Bewkes didn't just go ahead and buy the whole thing himself.
Regardless, investors aren't terribly excited about SCi's newest plans: Shares dropped 17% after the announcement.
UPDATE: Billionaire UK investor Robert Tchenguiz is also buying heavily into SCi's new share offering, and is expected to become the companies biggest shareholder, owning 22%, Reuters reports.

Most of the time, we travel to acquire knowledge, to gain a better understanding of a part of the world, its people, culture and history. On the other hand, sometimes it's even better to marvel at the many unsolved mysteries, unexplained wonders and enigmatic phenomena of the world. Prepare to be amazed by these places that are as baffling as they are beautiful.
By Fiona Brutscher
Stonehenge, England – A mystery hiding in plain sight, this Neolithic stone circle is so enshrined in popular culture, it's easy to forget how little is actually known of its original purpose and the construction methods used. The discovery of human remains point to an ancient burial ground, while animal sacrifices could signify a religious function, and the alignment with the sunrise and sunset of the summer and winter solstice indicates some astronomic significance. Theories abound, but there is no universally agreed explanation. Whatever it was used for, it was an important site for centuries, and it continues to inspire. english-heritage.org.uk
Moai Statues, Easter Island – Probably the most famous and enduringly fascinating man-made mysteries are the giant monolithic figurines adorning the remote Polynesian island 3,500 kilometres off the coast of Chile. Known as Moai to the Rapa Nui people who built them over 700 years ago, the roughly 900 statues are thought to represent deceased ancestors or important chiefs. Their legends tell of the Moai walking to their destinations, inspired by divine power – and at this stage, that explanation is as good as any of the unverified modern theories explaining how the colossal stone slabs, up to 10 metres high and 82 tonnes heavy, might have been transported. The only texts that may provide insight have never been deciphered. whc.unesco.org
Stone Spheres, Costa Rica – There are several layers of mystery surrounding these more than 300 spherical stones (or, as the locals would have it, balls) found in 3 World Heritage-listed sites. Specifically: Who? Where? …And why? Little is known of the Precolumbian Diquis people whose culture was lost after the Spanish conquest of Costa Rica. Most of the stones were moved and many damaged in agricultural clearing in the 1930s, so it's hard to determine their original locations and alignment. Those stones that remain on their original sites seem to be placed in lines pointing towards certain locations, but any theories about their original significance remain speculative. whc.unesco.org [Photo: Wikimedia Commons]
Hessdalen Lights, Norway – Researchers can at least touch, examine, measure and revisit monoliths, sculptures and stone spheres, even if they remain mysterious. They can't do the same with the as yet unexplained eerie lights that appear periodically in the Norwegian Hessdalen Valley. Sightings of unusual, colourful moving lights in the night sky were already reported a century ago, possibly even earlier, but reports peaked in the 1980s. Since then, Project Hessdalen has been monitoring the lights, and since 1998 an Automatic Measurement Station (AMS) has been documenting occurrences, capturing photographic evidence and trying to find scientific explanations. The fact that, almost 20 years later, they still haven't arrived at a satisfactory conclusion is all the proof some UFO theorists need that extraterrestrial activity is to be blamed. hessdalen.org
Skellig Michael, Ireland – The jagged rock in the wild Atlantic, off the West Coast of Ireland, features in early Celtic legend and Christian fables, but the actual, real history of the monastery built in this forbidding place is still very much shrouded in mystery. Around the 7th century, a small group of ascetic monks rowed 12 kilometres to the larger of the two Skelligs and proceeded to build a settlement there – entirely by hand, out of stones found on the island. The monastery remained in use until the 13th century, but little is known of the monks who lived there and their reasons for choosing this hermitic life. The most recent hermit to seek refuge here – Luke Skywalker, as per Star Wars Episode 7 – is unlikely to shed any light on these questions. whc.unesco.org [Photo: styrovor/Flickr]
Oak Island, Canada – Man-made structures don't have to be ancient or imposing to pose seemingly unsolvable riddles. The so-called Money Pit on a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia may be something as banal as a natural sinkhole. On the other hand, it is rumoured to be an elaborately constructed, booby-trapped hiding place for anything from pirate loot or a Knights Templar treasure (like the Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant, because why not?), to the lost jewels of Marie Antoinette and manuscripts revealing the true identity of William Shakespeare. Numerous prominent Americans, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, Errol Flynn and John Wayne, visited Oak Island or invested in treasure hunting expeditions, adding even more to the popular appeal of the mystery. oakislandtours.ca
Giza Pyramids, Egypt – The most tantalising mystery is one that's close to being unravelled. When Operation Scan the Pyramids concludes at the end of 2016, we might know a lot more about how the iconic tombs were constructed and what lies behind their thick walls. The project, initiated by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities and coordinated by Cairo University, is using non-destructive technologies like thermography and radiography to unlock the secrets of the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Scans have already detected temperature differences indicating hidden chambers. We may soon find out if modern science can reveal what's concealed inside. scanpyramids.org
Nazca Geoglyphs, Peru – One thing needed to understand the giant figures and lines created by the Nazca civilisation is imagination; because we can marvel at the precision of the humanoid, animal and geometric designs from above, we simply can't imagine how they were made by a civilisation that had no access to aeroplanes or satellite imagery. As always, when Planet Earth presents humanity with a mystery, many people have chosen to assume that aliens must have covered a 450-square-kilometre area in the Peruvian desert with these geoglyphs. Scientists, on the other hand, agree that the lines were scratched into the ground by indigenous people over a thousand-year period between 500 BC and AD 500. How exactly they did it, however, may never fully be understood. whc.unesco.org [Photo: Wikimedia Commons]
Göbekli Tepe, Turkey – Touted as the oldest temple in the world, this archeological site has already yielded remarkable discoveries, despite the fact that only a fraction of the existing structures have been uncovered. If current scientific assumptions are correct, the huge pillars, weighing up to 20 tonnes, were created and moved over 13,000 years ago, in order to build a site serving some form of sacred function. That would mean the development of human societies unfolded in a different sequence of events than previously assumed, indicating that hunter-gatherers were already capable of organising labour on a large scale and working towards a common goal well before the advent of settlements or farming communities. gobeklitepe.info [Photo: Wikimedia Commons]
Plain of Jars, Laos – Excavations and research on this vast plain dotted with 3,000 or more giant megalithic stone jars have been hampered by the threat of unexploded cluster bombs, remnants of the Laotian Civil War. A first theory that the jars, up to 3 metres in diameter, may be Iron Age burial or cremation pods, was formed in the 1930s. Even though recent research (part of an ongoing 5-year project) seems to at least support the notion that the site served as a burial place, the precise function of the jars in this scenario remains unknown. However, extensive bomb-clearing has made the Plain of Jars a lot safer – and less mysterious. unescobkk.org [Photo: Nick Hubbard/Flickr]
Mayan Ruins, across Central America – The hundreds of Mayan ruins found in today's Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico are admired for their imposing structures, elaborate decorations and sometimes simply their sheer size. However, what lends them an enduring air of mystery is the rapid decline of such a large, advanced, complex society, capable of bringing forth these cultural artefacts and edifices still found across Central America. The fate of the Mayans is often used to illustrate that even the biggest, most powerful and seemingly stable societies can fall apart… without even leaving any indication of the reason for their demise. whc.unesco.org [Photo: EliM111/Flickr]
Eternal Flame Falls, New York – An eternal flame burning behind a cascading waterfall? If you think that sounds like a clever parlour trick, you're not entirely wrong. The dancing flame seemingly encased in water doesn't self-ignite. If and when it's extinguished, it belies its name and has to be re-lit. However, even if – at first glance – the mystery of the flame is easily explained by natural gas deposits below the falls seeping out and being set alight by humans, scientists are still unable to explain how the natural gas is produced. Although there are dozens of other naturally fuelled flames all over the world, this one in upstate New York may well turn out to be the only one of its kind. erie.gov [Photo: Kim Carpenter/Flickr]
Yonaguni Monument, Japan – It's hard to imagine that a striking, fantasy-inducing underwater structure located at a popular dive site off the coast of one of the world's most densely populated countries has barely been researched. Although the so-called monuments submerged in the ocean near Yonaguni Island are fascinating to behold, there is no consensus on their origin. The scientific explorations conducted to date have been superficial and led to opposing conclusions. Without further investigation, there's no knowing whether the beautiful formations were created by humans or by the sheer forces of the ocean. Neither explanation would detract from their uniqueness. jnto.go.jp [Photo: Wikimedia Commons]
The Site of the City of Troy, Turkey – Before the mysteries of Troy can be uncovered, we first need to know which current archeological site was once the city immortalised in Homer's Iliad. Until the late 19th century, it was assumed that all events, as well as the city described in the epic poem, were purely fictional. However, a historic site excavated by Heinrich Schliemann in Turkey quickly became the widely accepted location of Troy, and it is now assumed that events like the siege of Troy were at least based in reality. Still, there's no agreement on which of the several layers uncovered was the settlement where Helen of Troy may have walked or, indeed, whether the currently accepted location is the correct one at all. whc.unesco.org [Photo: David Holt/Flickr]

The end of New York Fashion Week on Thursday also marked the end of the tents at Bryant Park, which had been the centre of fashion week since 1993. Tommy Hilfiger was the last to show his collection at the tents before they came down, marking the end of an era. Beginning in September, NYFW will take place at Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park, after outgrowing the iconic tents. It's unfortunate that some of us never got to experience fashion week at Bryant Park, but the show must and will go on.. this time in a larger (and potentially better?) location.
Showing at Bryant Park has been a major part of the fashion world for us. The tents have been an amazing venue, but things in fashion and the city change – we hope that Lincoln Centre will be as wonderful an experience. — Mark Badgley & James Mischka

Once you've downloaded the image, you can use FTK Imager to load the file and check out the partition table, or you can use the VDK file system driver (see the Resources section below) to view the partition table from the command line. Using the "vdk view" command, you can see the partition table, which gives us similar information (along with offsets) as what is available through FTK Imager:
Disk Capacity : 9514260 sectors (4645 MB)
Number Of Files : 1
Type Size Path
------- ------- ----
FLAT 9514260 d:\hacking\image.dd
Partitions :
# Start Sector Length in sectors Type
-- ------------ --------------------- ----
1 63 9510417 ( 4643 MB) 07h:HPFS/NTFS
Another tool you can use to collect similar information from an image is TSK's mmls tool. Using the command "mmls -t dos d:\hacking\image.dd", we see the following output:
DOS Partition Table
Offset Sector: 0
Units are in 512-byte sectors
Slot Start End Length Description
00: Meta 0000000000 0000000000 0000000001 Primary Table (#0)
01: ----- 0000000000 0000000062 0000000063 Unallocated
02: 00:00 0000000063 0009510479 0009510417 NTFS (0x07)
03: ----- 0009510480 0009514259 0000003780 Unallocated
In the output of both "vdk view" and "mmls", I've bolded the particular information that we're looking for, the offset to the partition that we're interested in.
This is why I chose this image in particular; it provides us with a good example to use in order to demonstrate the use of the tools, as the NTFS partition doesn't at the first sector; rather, it starts at sector 63 (Note: you can get this same information by selecting the partition in FTK Imager and choosing View -> Properties). One of the tools that we'll want to use to obtain timeline information from our acquired image is the TSK tool 'fls' (see the link in the Resource section below). The 'fls' tool will allow you to extract timeline information for the file system from the acquired image. In order to create a bodyfile containing all of the timeline information, use the following command:
fls -r -p -o 63 -l -m C:/ d:\hacking\image.dd > bodyfile
Another great use for the tool is to get just a listing of all of the deleted files from the system using the following command:
fls -d -r -p -l -o 63 -m C:/ d:\hacking\image.dd > deleted
I won't go into detail on the uses of all of the various switches, as you can find those by typing just "fls" at the command prompt, or by accessing the appropriate link in the Resources section below. The output bodyfile from our first command contains all of the deleted files, as well.
The bodyfile created by fls lists 4 timestamps in Unix epoch time format; atime, mtime, ctime, and crtime. In this case, the crtime is the creation time, and the ctime value is the metadata change time, which are derived from the $STANDARD_INFORMATION NTFS attribute (for the NTFS file system, of course).
At this point, we have a body file that we can use with mactime to create a timeline of file system activity. We can also use this body file as an input to Michael Cloppert's ex-tip in order to incorporate other data sources into our timeline.

Look who confirmed up for the mom of all household reunions! Since then, Anderson's whirlwind romances with such Hollywood bad boys as Child Rock and Rick Salomon have been tabloid fodder for years. However, Smith eventually rekindled his relationship along with his mom, and in 2016, the two wrote a e book together to assist different households navigate the usually precarious entertainment business.
As an alternative, Residence Enchancment was virtually defiantly formulaic, the only ground it broke being no matter Allen occurred to fall on. However the nicely loved Taylor household and different essential cast have lately reunited for a fun picture shoot for the particular Reunion Version of Leisure Weekly magazine.
When most individuals take into consideration Al Borland, they think of two things. Now: Within the years since, Karn has hosted 'Household Feud' and 'Bingo America.' He is additionally co-written two home enchancment books ( on the subject of actual house enchancment, not the show).
One other actor had won the position of Wilson, but reportedly dropped out after studying that his face can be half-hidden. It wasn't really as much as me," Karn mentioned a few potential ninth season. But Allen's time in prison didn't entirely scare him straight.
And sure, he nonetheless gets an occasional cheque within the mail from House Enchancment. I don't know why we might not do a version of the identical present, reasonably than put me in a legal drama," Allen mentioned, a person who's nothing if not admirably upfront about his limitations.

Continuing from part 2, I've got my SOAP request working, but the solution is limited to the OS platform and I don't like the security implications. What I would really like is a solution that works without the need of a custom tag that is OS dependent. If only CFHTTP wasn't broken.
I decided to look at what I already had available; namely Java. ColdFusion runs on top of Java and it's possible to create Java objects from within ColdFusion.
I'll spare you the grueling details, but I did get caught up at one point playing around with the Java keystore and importing my client certificate into that keystore. Using things like keytool and OpenSSL I tore apart and reconstructed my client certificate and my Java keystore. Ultimately I didn't need to do any of that and should have just left the keystore alone.
The path to enlightenment began when I found an example of Java socket operations using the javax.net.ssl.SSLContext object. The example code I was looking at used this object to create regular sockets, not SSL-enabled sockets. I looked into this object and found a few more examples using it to create SSL connections. A bit of back and forth between these examples and the online Java API spec resulted in the discovery that I could load a PKCS12 file as a keystore and pass that to the SSLContext object then create sockets from that SSLContext. This looked promising.
After a bit of trial and error I finally had something that worked!
Here's the relevant portion of code. I'll go line-by-line afterwards.
<cfscript> // 01: create input file stream from certificate variables.ksf = CreateObject( "java", "java.io.FileInputStream" ).init( variables.cert_file ); // 02: create keystore object from certificate variables.ks = CreateObject( "java", "java.security.KeyStore" ).getInstance( "PKCS12" ); variables.ks.load( variables.ksf, JavaCast( "String", variables.cert_password ).toCharArray() ); // 03: create key manager factory out of keystore variables.kmf = CreateObject( "java", "javax.net.ssl.KeyManagerFactory" ).getInstance( "SunX509" ); variables.kmf.init( variables.ks, JavaCast( "String", variables.cert_password ).toCharArray() ); // 04: create SSL context object using key manager factory variables.sslc = CreateObject( "java", "javax.net.ssl.SSLContext" ).getInstance( "TLS" ); variables.sslc.init( kmf.getKeyManagers(), JavaCast( "null", "" ), JavaCast( "null", "" ) ); // 05: get SSL socket from SSL context variables.factory = sslc.getSocketFactory(); // 06: connect to the server via SSL variables.sock = variables.factory.createSocket( variables.server_address, variables.server_port); variables.sock.startHandshake(); // 07: create input and output streams to read from and write to the socket variables.sout = variables.sock.getOutputStream(); variables.out = createObject( "java", "java.io.PrintWriter" ).init( variables.sout ); variables.sinput = variables.sock.getInputStream(); variables.inputStreamReader = createObject( "java", "java.io.InputStreamReader" ).init( variables.sinput ); variables.input = createObject( "java", "java.io.BufferedReader" ).init( variables.InputStreamReader ); // 08: send the HTTP request over the socket variables.out.println( Trim( variables.request_header ) ); variables.out.println(); variables.out.println( Trim( variables.soap_envelope ) ); variables.out.println(); variables.out.flush(); // 09: read the response from the server variables.result = ""; do { variables.line = input.readLine(); variables.lineCheck = IsDefined( "variables.line" ); if ( variables.lineCheck ) { variables.result = variables.result & variables.line & Chr(13) & Chr(10); } } while ( variables.lineCheck ); // 10: close the connection variables.sock.close(); </cfscript>
So let's work through this.
01: The variable variables.cert_file contains the full path to the client certificate. This line opens that file for reading.
02: This creats a java.security.KeyStore object that expects a PKCS12 format and then loads the client certificate into the keystore. Note that the second parameter of the KeyStore.load() method is the password of the PKCS12 file. You must pass this as a character array and not as a string, which is why the password must be cast as a String object whose toCharArray() method is called to obtain that character array.
03: This creates a javax.net.ssl.KeyMangerFactory object which is used by the SSLContext object to deal with the certificates in the keystore. Note that the second parameter of the init() is the password to the certificate in character array format. You must provide the password twice, once when creating the keystore, and then again creating the key manager factory.
04: Here we create the javax.net.ssl.SSLContext object. The getInstance() call tells what protocol to use with this object, in this case "TLS". (Note: "SSLv3" also works. No idea which one I should be using. If one fails, try the other.) Once the object is instantiated we initialize it with a key manager from the key manager factory. The second and third parameters of the init() method could point to a trust manager and a source of randomness. It doesn't appear that either is needed (this is what I saw in other examples) so I pass null values. Note that you have to use JavaCast() to pass a null.
05: Get a socket factory object from the SSLContext object. This factory will be used to create individual sockets using the parameters established with the SSLContext object.
06: Create a single socket from the socket factory by passing the server address (variables.server_address) and port (variables.server_port) we want to connect to. Then call startHandshake() which will create the connection to the server using SSL.
07: Create objects needed to read from and write to the socket we've created.
08: Here we send our SOAP envelope to the server. Note that since we're doing everything by hand we also have to send the proper HTTP headers. Both the variables.request_header and variables. soap_envelope variables were created using the CFSAVEDCONTENT tag as shown in part 1. You want to create the envelope first so you know the correct content-length value for the HTTP header. Since I decided to stick with SOAP 1.1 the header also contains the SOAPAction field and the content-type is set to text/xml.
Here is an example of how I created the headers:
<cfsavecontent variable="variables.request_header"> POST <cfoutput>#variables.server_request_path#</cfoutput> HTTP/1.0 Host: <cfoutput>#variables.server_address#</cfoutput> User-Agent: SOAP Washer/1.0 SOAPAction: "<cfoutput>#variables.soap_action#</cfoutput>" Content-Type: text/xml Content-Length: <cfoutput>#Len( Trim( variables.soap_envelope ))#</cfoutput> </cfsavecontent>
Standard HTTP/1.0 headers. You can make the User-Agent field just about whatever you want.
Also worth mentioning is that I didn't try to combine the two (HTTP headers and envelope) into a single variable. This is because how CFSAVEDCONTENT handles newline characters is different between ColdFusion 8 and ColdFusion 9. By keeping them separate this code is able to operate under either version.
The empty println() commands are there to send a newline. And the flush() call simply sends anything left in the buffers, thus completing the sending of our request.
09: This is where we read the response from the server. The response can only be read one line at a time, so we need a loop to keep reading one line at a time and appending it to the variable where we'll store the entire response (variables.result).
A tricky thing working between ColdFusion and Java objects is that if you assign the return value of a Java object method to a ColdFusion variable and that return value is null then the ColdFusion variable is unset or deleted. Since the readLine() method returns null when there's nothing more to read, the only way to know we've completed reading the response is to test if variables.line, where we store the return value of readLine(), still exists. If it doesn't, we've reached the end of the response.
10: Close the connection
The ColdFusion variable variables.result will contain the entire response from the server, including the response HTTP headers. Meaning if you want to get a proper XML object from xmlParse() you're going to need to first strip away those headers.
<cfset variables.temp = REFindNoCase( "content-length: ([0-9]+)", variables.result, 1, "True" )> <cfif variables.temp.len[1] GT 0> <cfset variables.length = Val( Mid( variables.result, variables.temp.pos[2], variables.temp.len[2] ))> <cfset variables.xmlResult = Trim( Right( RTrim( variables.result ), variables.length ))> </cfif>
This should do the trick. Although you may want to throw in some code to strip out the status code to ensure a good transaction.
And there you have it. Handling transactions with a third-party web site using client certificates under ColdFusion using only native ColdFusion objects.

I'm rooting for China
Australians would get it.
I've not set foot in a gym for twelve days now. I've continued to run and chop wood and hike and walk sandy beaches – heck I've even done some body weight exercises – but hardly enough. I could tell you that my holiday is to blame, but we all know the truth: I am to blame.
My holiday comes to an end tomorrow. I've had nearly two weeks in Western Australia's Margaret River wine region
– sipping on the odd red here and there, partaking in the occasional sliver of cheese and I even had one ice cream. Eating and drinking well are a way of life down here: thing are fresh, local and clean. It's soul food – often still produced by independent 'mum and dad' providores from their small wineries or organic vege gardens. Great stuff. If you can get here: do.
Tomorrow it is back to the city, back to a gym and back to routine. I'm kinda looking forward to it.
One game over and one game on.

Bull Shark Diving in Playa del Carmen
Every winter, dozens of pregnant female bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas)migrate to the coast of Playa del Carmen to give birth to their offspring. From late November to late February, we have daily trips to the sand flats just off the coast in Playa del Carmen to dive with these magnificent animals.
All of our bull shark dives are strictly no interaction dives. This means we do not feed, chum or use any means to attract the sharks to our location. Doing so could compromise your safety and that of the sharks. Not to mention that feeding the sharks alters feeding patterns and can cause them to associate humans with food, which could turn into an accident.
There are several rules we must follow in order to make the dives a safe and enjoyable experience for everybody
- Wear dark, full wetsuits
- Avoid brightly colored fins
- Remove shiny objects, necklaces, etc
- Descend and ascend as a group
- Stay flat on the bottom with arms close to body
- No feeding ever!
- Participants MUST be at minimum 15 years of age with parental consent (parent must sign consent form) or 18 years old without parental consent.
- Participants Must be at minimum Open Water Diver certified with minimum of 25 logged dives, having been diving within the last 12 months. If participant has less than 25 dives, a prior checkout dive must be done to assess the participant.

An adventurous tiger that decided to take a tour of the circus grounds after performing gave a Kansas woman, Jenna Krehbiel, and her 3-year-old daughter the scare of a lifetime.
The tiger, which belongs to the Isis Shrine Circus in Salina, got loose at the Bicentennial Centennial Center. Workers were able to block off the concourse, but not before the big cat made its way to the ladies' room.
Oblivious to the fact that a giant carnivore was on the lam, Krehbiel entered the bathroom, closed the door behind her, and came face-to-face with the 250-pound tiger. A mere two feet separated them.
"You don't expect to go in a bathroom door, have it shut behind you and see a tiger walking toward you. Looking back, it was a scary ordeal," Krehbiel said. "At the time, I was thinking I just needed to get out."
Krehbiel, a social worker, somehow remained calm and slowly backed out of the bathroom.
"Once she saw the tiger, I'm sure she knew to go the other way," Bicentennial Center manager Chris Bird said. "Overall, it was a scary, surreal moment. I am glad no one was hurt or injured."
See the tiger making a break for it in the video below:

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! I yet again captured an ALIEN "fly-guy" communicating with the home world on top of one of my echinacea .. the nerve .. go get your own phone !!!
Last is the above .. something new for me this year .. Sweet Autumn clematis .. I have it over the arbor gate in the shared space .. and over an arbor in the back garden .. it probably is thinking I am a very bad gardener since it needs some watering .. the guilt pangs are digging in .. but I'm dead tired and I have to flop on my bed now .. not even 7 PM .. now how sad is that ?

On one random night, My sister, My future sis in law and I were sitting together in the dining room and we were thinking to do our own "brunch foods", not sure where this thinking came from cause clearly weekends especially Sunday is our brunch day and we are usually too lazy to mess up the kitchen!
We planned what to make that night, and on Sunday morning, my sis woke up and ask whether we're still going to do this >.<" hahaha. makin sure laziness didnt stop us ;p
Ok, first up is our creation of Berry Smoothie Bowl! topped with chia seeds, kiwi berries, blueberries, granola and banana! Even the hubby loved it, even though he's not a fan of smoothie bowl usually tee hee
The second one is probably my fave.. Garlic herb Sauteed Mushroom on Ciabatta and Fluffy Truffle oil Scrambled egg <3
Next is Miso Honey Salmon on Quinoa chickpea salad with corn, capsicum, mix leaves and garlic dressing!
And to end the meal, the FsiL made this colourful waffle with Green tea ice cream and drizzled with toasted dessicated coconut. Perfect!
So there goes our creation of a perfect sunday brunch! We did made a mess in the kitchen and it probably took us 2hours from prep to finish foods plus photo shoot! haha. And as usual, its all finished in just under 45mins!
But great time well spent with the sissy poos :)

How to Become a Private Security
Private security is a fast growing career area with various opportunities for employment. Private security guards provide protection to individuals and private businesses. Security guards may personally monitor the events taking place in a particular area or use a wide assortment of electronic surveillance devices in order to insure the safety and security of individuals, property, and businesses. Security guards can be commonly found working for department stores, hospitals and banks. Some private security guards work directly for individuals or business organizations, while others work for privately owned security services which contract them out to various businesses and organizations.
The educational background and other qualifying characteristics required of private security personnel vary considerably. Some are hired with little or no experience while others are hired only after completing law enforcement school. Generally, security guards must be at least 18 years of age, have no convictions of violence or perjury on their record, and have some education or training in the area, whether it is several days of training on-the-job, or months of a more formal education. Topics covered during security training consist of instruction in the areas of crisis deterrence, protection, weaponry, report writing, use of electronic surveillance devices, and public relations.
The skills necessary to be a successful security guard are comparable to those needed by a police officer. Superior judgment, a willingness to adjust to the personality of the client, good vision, and first-rate communication skills are all very important. For certain types of security jobs, an ability to work alone, and to understand and operate surveillance systems, computers, and photography equipment, is also required.
Future opportunities for private security officers are estimated to remain plentiful. It is expected that the present security expenditures which are currently about 1.7 times that of law enforcement will increase to about 2.4 times that of law enforcement over the next 10 years. And, it is anticipated that over the next 5 years the number of private security companies will more than double. For those hoping to enter the field, opportunities appear very promising.
