by Public Relations Office—Cedarville, Ohio
Cedarville, Ohio-"Miss Kitty" is a charming, outgoing, elderly resident of the hurricane-devastated region of Port Arthur, Texas. Besides salvaging the wreckage of her newly purchased home, she also has had to discontinue cancer treatments after catching pneumonia, mourn the deaths of two of her adult children, and care for one son in the hospital. "She felt like Job from the Old Testament," recalled Jon Purple, student life dean at Cedarville University.
Purple met Miss Kitty during Cedarville University's fall break. He and 15 students drove 1,100 miles in 20 hours to work alongside Samaritan's Purse in hurricane relief.
Purple explained, "Instead of just mourning the situation, we knew we had to take action - God wanted Cedarville University to be a part of the solution. We needed to be God's hands and feet. The fact that 60 students applied for the trip speaks volumes about the spirit of service our students exhibit. The 15 that were chosen for the team spent time not just cleaning up houses, but also ministering."
When they arrived, they were greeted by "piles of ruined memories," as junior Rachel Bowers described. Another junior, Rachel Slagh, said, "The garbage piles wrapped around the block and were five feet tall. As I began to look closer, I saw not only drywall, tiles and carpets, but also TVs, refrigerators, beds, dressers full of clothes, and toys. It wasn't just trash, but people's lives."
The main task consisted of removing all drywall, insulation and flooring from houses. Several team members said they'd never be able to forget the sight or smell of black mold spores etching a vine-like pattern in the crumbling house walls. Between the nauseating smell and face masks, it was hard to breathe. Students took turns carting debris outside to the curb, making more than 100 runs in one day.
Some enjoyed brief breaks from the hard, muscle-tiring labor. Junior Diana Basford recalled, "I had the pleasure of hand-washing a stain glass collection. A few team members and I sang hymns as we washed the scum off the pieces. It was such a precious time, lifting our voices and admiring the beauty of the craftsmanship in the midst of devastating loss." Others enjoyed listening to homeowners' stories while washing personal possessions like records and keepsakes.
The team members were deeply humbled by the joyful gratitude and bravery of the homeowners. It was obvious that the Port Arthur residents still had their most valuable "possessions" - their priceless memories and relationships. Bowers said, "Overall, I learned that I should not build up treasures here on earth. If I would be devastated about losing earthly things, I need to reevaluate where I am placing my efforts and focus."

Patty called yesterday afternoon wanting to get together. It wasn't until after I agreed to meet her after the gym that I found out her relationship with her boyfriend had been put on hiatus in the morning. I hadn't heard from Patty since before Christmas. Now I was stuck meeting her and I was sure she wanted to talk about her relationship. I met Patty at her house and we talked for while and then went to dinner. As I suspected, most of the conversation was about her relationship being put on hold until the boyfriend can finish grieving for his late wife. Doesn't this sound familiar? When we stopped by the house on the way to dinner she asked if the Mini Cooper was at the airport. Patty was so consumed with talking about her relationship that she didn't even notice that she was in K's new Audi. I told her K sold the Mini four years ago when he bought the truck that was traded for the Audi she was sitting in and that I traded the Acura for the BMW. Perhaps guys pay more attention to cars than women. Soon the conversation turned back to her relationship. The relationship was also the main topic of conversation at dinner. I wanted call her on the fact that she only calls when she has relationship issues but I was tired and didn't want to open that can of worms. So I listened to her talk and missed all of the Super Bowl commercials that I wanted to watch. I got home just as the game ended.

The surgery went well today. I didn't feel anything during the procedure. The doctor managed to get all of the cancer with the first cut. I was home by noon. That's when the fun started. The anaesthetic wore off soon after I arrived home so I followed the doctor's orders and took Tylenol. About two hours later I was still in pain so I broke out my stash of Percocet. That seemed to do the trick. I've been napping and watching TV most of the day. I need to rest for the next forty-eight hours. I get to remove the big bandage tomorrow but need to keep the smaller bandage on for a week. The post-op instructions include not working out for two weeks. That will be tough!
Oh No, Not Again!

I went to the dermatologist this morning. It looks as if my skin cancer has come back. I was treated for skin cancer on my nose back in 2003. The doctor took a biopsy and I should have the results next week. There are three types of treatment depending upon what the biopsy analysis uncovers. One option is to freeze the area with liquid nitrogen. The second option is to use a cream that acts like a chemical peel. I'll have an ugly red patch on the bridge of my nose for several weeks. This is how the skin cancer was treated in 2003. The final option is surgery to remove the cancer. The doctor assured me that if surgery were needed she would refer me to a surgeon who will take great care to minimize the scaring. It's a good thing I have health insurance.

The trip started out a little rocky. K lost his wallet, the plane was delayed, K's luggage got stuck in the baggage system and the hotel reservation started on the wrong day. Yesterday I spent the day in Union Square doing my best to help the economy. Last knight was a nice dinner with two of K's employees. Today, K and I are going to Ted Baker and having lunch in the city. I'm not sure what is on the agenda for tonight.

K is so good to me. We went to Cherry Creek Mall on Saturday because K wanted to buy a new pair of shoes. At first I didn't want to go because I wanted to avoid the temptation of the post holiday reductions. But K thought it would be good to spend time together since he was going snowboarding on Sunday. He offered to buy me anything I wanted. At first I was tempted to push this to the limits. A found a pair of Ferragamos on sale at Nordstrom's for $450.00. Then reality hit me. Was I crazy? I liked the shoes but I really didn't need the shoes. I got caught up in the excitement because the shoes were marked down from $875.00. We moved on to other stores. K finally found the shoes he wanted. K once again offered to buy me something. I looked around and found several things that I liked but really didn't need. I couldn't let him buy me anything. I've been taking care of myself since I was eighteen. I find it really hard to depend on another person for my needs even though K is my life partner. I want to be frugal and economize so that no unnecessary money is spent. I don't know why I find this so difficult. Perhaps it is a control issue. I've always been in control of my adult life. K is now the primary breadwinner and I am depending on him to carry most of the financial burden of the household. I fear that means I'm no longer in control.
Unsettling News
Posted in friends, my life, personal on December 23, 2008| 2 Comments »
I found out this morning that our friend Mary is having a bilateral mastectomy on January 13th. This will be followed up by several reconstructive surgeries. I'm stunned at this news. The last time I talked to Mary the plan was for a lumpectomy. Additional tests determined that this is not the case. Now she is losing both breasts. Aimee, Mary's daughter, told me that the only things Mary likes about her body are her hair and her breasts. Now she will lose both. Granted the hair loss in only a temporary side effect of chemotherapy but it is still unsettling. K and I will see Mary tomorrow night when we build gingerbread houses with her grandchildren, Max and Eliot. It will be fun but bittersweet. I can't wait to give Mary a big hug. I wish she didn't have cancer. I wish Mary didn't have to deal with this trauma. Why can't they find a cure for breast cancer?
Show and Tell

This morning I played show and tell with my colon rectal surgeon. I show her my rectum and she tells me if there is any irregular tissue, or, if I need another biopsy. I'm all clear for now. I'll see her again in three months. There's nothing like a rectal exam to start your day off on a high note.

While the tourism industry applauds demonetisation, none deny that the move has affected tourism business with shifts to cheaper destinations, postponement and cancellations of trips. The visa fee and payment for visa procedures has been shifted online for the convenience of applicants.
Among the many verticals affected in the wake of demonetisation is visa issuance. Companies facilitating visas are seeing a reasonable slide in visa applications. RajanDua, Managing Director, Udaan, says, "Due to demonetisation our business has been adversely affected. There is drastic fall in the number of visa applications received on a daily basis across India because many visa application centers and Consulates accept visa fee in cash. Further, the cash withdrawal and exchange has been limited which is not sufficient for the quantum of visa applications we submit on a daily basis. Currently it is very difficult to get Demand Drafts made as well." Dua explains that travellers who had planned their trips for Christmas and New Year are also disappointed by this move and are facing problems as there is shortage of new currency and it has forced them to reschedule their plans in India and outside. "VFS and consulates primarily accept visa fee in the form of Demand Drafts and cash so it was another setback added to this as smaller denominations are not available in large numbers. Tour operators mainly deal in cash and it has become a huge obstruction for them now," he adds. Clarifying the payment procedure, VinayMalhotra, Chief Operating Officer – South Asia, VFS Global, explains that the mode of visa fee and VFS Global service fee payment is as per the mandates from the respective client governments. "To increase convenience for applicants, we are also accepting Demand Drafts for all missions until further notice. Applicants have the option of using the credit card/debit card gateway for specific diplomatic missions, such as the UK, Ireland, Switzerland and the UAE. For travel agents, we are currently also allowing electronic funds transfer for all missions, except China, Thailand, the UK, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, Turkey, and Malaysia. We will be extending this mode of payment to all individual visa applicants as well in the near future," says Malhotra. He further adds that VFS Global is working with its banking partners, and is in consultation with all the client governments to introduce cashless payment solutions, including NEFT/RTGS, payment wallets, debit and credit cards for applicants. "Udaan has taken several measures to help clients function smoothly. We are requesting our clients to make advance payments for visa applications. If the client is short of new currency, they have the option to pay through cheque or online transactions," says Dua. ClevioMonterio, Chief Executive Officer, Visa Lounge, points out that the travel industry, overall, has been hit and more so because it has been implemented during peak season of travel. Customers have not been able to carry out transactions during the initial phase of demonetisation and are more careful about their expenditure. "We are the new kids on the block and are still in the process of growing our company. We are continuously adding new agents and corporates to our platform. Thanks to this, we have actually seen growth, compared to the previous month. We do feel that this is a good move and even though there is some inconvenience for now, the situation will stabilise soon," says Monterio.

January 2015
1. Happy New Year! I don't think this will be a good year for me. I am being investigated for some other issues, and I've developed IBS from the fibromyalgia, as well as overwhelming sound, light, smell, chemical and food sensitivities. When I was in the hospital ER for 8 hours, and even the next day for 4 hours, I was just buzzing. I staggered out like a drunk. But while there, I had my ear plugs in and eyes closed. I wanted to run out screaming but I knew I had to stay. It was a strange feeling and it made me worry. How can I nurse if I'm allergic to my work environment? I will see my doctor and hopefully also the gastroenterologist. I had ignored that symptom altogether as I was dealing with so much from the Fibro already. I'm hoping to also see a doctor who studies Fibromyalgia and treats it. Regular doctors just don't get it and their eyes glaze over when you report all the new symptoms. Believe me, I'm overwhelmed and I'd much rather have my health back than to deal with this all day, every day. Women's college hospital also has a study for people with multiple chemical sensitivities. I never had allergies until this year. Now even the computer makes me feel strange. The thing that used to be relaxing is now another trigger for my symptoms. What is happening to me? I don't even write half of what is going on, on facebook because it seems like I'm complaining all the time, but if you were experiencing this for even 24 hours you'd know how hard it is. I know I look well, but it took me a week of slowly preparing the house, in order to have people over for a few hours. I wore ear plugs the whole time just to keep the noise to a tolerable level, and I pretend to be well for a while. When people ask me how I am, I just say I'm fine.
2. Discouraging day yesterday. But then I chose a word of the year and a verse for the year. See the post. Today we had a couple over for dinner. She also has fibromyalgia and her husband shared with mine what the challenges are with learning how to cope with a wife who has lost her illness, how to help her acknowledge her grief, and his as well. It helped me to consider ways to learn how to accept this new normal and try to find ways to lessen symptoms. So I made 10 goals related to my motto of Cope with Hope. It does help to have a plan, even though my underlying illness will not go away until glory.
3. Our daughter went back to Kingston today, just an hour ahead of the snow. I went for a mani-pedi, thinking it would make my feet feel better, but the chemicals in there made me so groggy, I started to nod off. I don't think I can do that again.
4. My verse of the year:
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Romans 8:18 NKJV
I especially like this version because it doesn't just compare the sufferings and glory, but says the sufferings aren't even worthy to be compared to the glory. This does not minimize our sufferings, but rather gives us perspective by magnifying the glory to come. And that glory isn't just going to be revealed to us, objectively, but in us, subjectively.
5. So thankful that I will be seeing the gastroenterologist today and I have a scope planned for Wednesday. Usually you have to wait months, but a friend's brother is a gastroenterologist, and there was an opening this week. I'm so thankful for this.
6. Prep for the scope tomorrow. Not pleasant but necessary. The problem is there is some additive or preservative in this prep and I get the usual reaction. Then I have to go through it all again in 12 hours for the other half. I must admit I have a great fear of pain. The last time I had this scope done, I couldn't get enough sedation and so they had to stop 1/3 of the way through. I really need them to be able to do the entire test to get some answers. In other news, I am on a few facebook pages that are support groups for Fibromyalgia related issues. I am thinking of starting one of my own, but specifically for Believers who are suffering. I want it to be in line with the motto for the year Cope with Hope. For every complaint or rant, I want to include something uplifting and praiseworthy. This is something positive I can do to get my mind off focussing on the negative aspects of this crappy disease. There are many, believe me. But I want to still praise God in the storm.
7. So pleased with the procedure today. He also did a gastroscopy along with the colonoscopy. I received enough sedation that I didn't feel a thing and no residual pain afterwards. Thank God! I will find out the result in two weeks. Very sleepy this evening.
8. A relatively good day today. My mom helped me tidy the kitchen and clean the fridge. A big accomplishment these days.
9. My husband and I went to a movie tonight. Big mistake. It was an action movie and it had so many bright lights moving quickly. Even with my ear plugs in, it was too loud. I shut down and started to nod off. It's actually quite scary because I can't control it, kind of like a sleep seizure.
10. I went to the women's meeting this morning. Not sure if it was something I ate there, but I staggered out. Then I came home to a clean house, which isn't a bad thing, except for the cleaning supplies my husband used on the floor. More tingling and throbbing, like sirens going off. Then I nodded off, kind of like a narcolepsy. What is happening to me?
11. Church today. I am suddenly so aware of perfume. It was like a cloud hovering in the room. I never noticed it before. Even a man's suede jacket was strong as he was talking to me. During church, even my tongue was tingling. What is happening to me?
12. Going to the doctor today, then to work to occ health and to meet my new manager, and to hang out in the hospital for a few hours to see how I react without taking a chance on getting cognitively impaired while looking after my patients. Sure I can't work tonight. Is my workplace toxic to me now?
13. So yesterday I went to my doctor, who gave me a note for work to be off for a month. She is also sending me to a general medical internist to rule out some other problems. I also got a referral for the Enivronmental Health clinic at Women's College Hospital but it takes about a year to get in after referral. She also wondered if my anxiety was making my problems seem to be worse than they are, which was a little condescending. I said, no, the anxiety only came after all these things started happening in my health. I just wish I could have a doctor who understood this illness and believed my complaints. Then I went down to work and talked to occ health. Then I met my new nurse manager and updated her on my situation. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. I heard that after I left, she called the unit to tell them to replace me for three months. That's entirely possible, as I don't see this going away, but it made me feel hopeless and like I've been put out to pasture. Also I got the same response as at the doctor's office that morning, with my blood pressure going up to 170/90 and my heart rate to 115. Yeah, my workplace is a problem.
14. I am going to look into having my house cleaned professionally, maybe even just to do spring cleaning since I can't reach up or bend down these days.
15. I did some cleaning up of our laundry room closet because we will get it painted by an outside company soon. My days of painting are over.I bought some scent free cleaning products.
16. Ran some errands today. I seem to only be able to be in public places about two hours max. At home I'm mostly concerned about how little time I can spend on the computer in any capacity. I won a contest I entered and in another contest that I didn't win, they said they liked my first five pages of my story and encouraged me to contact an editor/proofreader. How will I be able to do that if I can't spend any long period of time on the computer?
17. Someone came to give me a quote about housekeeping services. They don't use unscented products though. Who would have thought I'd be considering getting a housekeeping service?
18. Church today. So good to hear the gospel.
19. I have so many forms to fill out for referrals.
20. I am finally getting a new phone to replace my old slide phone which doesn't hold a charge.
21. I woke up with another nightmare, but this time I knew what to do to calm myself. So happy that I have tools to help me deal with different issues.
22. Off to get results of medical tests. Torn between learning about a new problem and being told there's no cause found for my symptoms. Life with Fibromyalgia Syndrome.
23. Saw the Naturopath. So glad I did. Should have done it sooner. She spent over an hour just going over my history. So nice to be heard. She's going to just focus on one system at a time, which is a good pace for me. I can't change everything in my diet too quickly.
24. I had a fair amount of energy today. I baked for coffee time at church tomorrow. I did a little laundry and cooked. That's about it for a good day.
25. Church was good today. I was happy to have been able to help with coffee time.
26. I'm decreasing the amount of coffee I'm drinking and I've cut out wine completely.
27. It's 3 a.m and I can't sleep because I seem to have developed another distressing side effect to a medication. It's probably caused by my sleeping pill. I won't take any more of them. I'll need to find an alternative, but for now I just want it to stop.
28. Went down to the Eaton Centre with my mom to meet my pregnant daughter for lunch. It took a lot out of me and my body was protesting for a long time when I returned, but it was good to see her before she delivers. She's due Feb 8th but it will probably be earlier since the baby has already dropped. Being in the mall with all those scents was interesting. My tongue started tingling as soon as we got there. That seems to be my first sign, and I can only be in any place about two hours. And at lunch she put lotion on her hands and it seemed to jump across the table like a wave. Weird.
29. I started a facebook group called Cope with Hope, for Christian believers who suffer with chronic illnesses or invisible disabilities but still believe in the goodness of God.
30. Today I went to WINGS to make lunch. My mom came along with me and she loved helping with the meal. She used to work in a nursing home kitchen so she knows how to get food on the table on time. I also overestimated my ability to do it, and wouldn't have been able to do it without her help. Also, she wants to get behind the ministry to support it, and she will help me any other time I go. Although it's hard for me physically, it's good for me emotionally, to get out of my own head, and help someone. Also, since it's Friday, I got sushi for take-out. There's no preservatives in it, so it's safe for me to eat without worrying about getting a reaction. I can't have Miso soup anymore though. Sad.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
The best salons choose GAMA PROFESSIONAL, a world in which hairstylists work with instruments that bring out the best in their ideas and skills.
Design and technology blend into products with pure Italian quality, designed and manufactured specially for women and the stylists who take care of their hair.
Our hair dryers, straighteners, irons and clippers are all made using the best technologies, to satisfy the demands for healthy and protected hair even during styling.
The motor and the inner components of the hair dryers are designed to guarantee thebest performance and top reliability of our products.
When asked for lightness, for example, GAMA responds by producing ultra-light products with high power, suited for styling all hair types.
We study and constantly monitor product technologies and features, in order to ensure professional results, every time. Different product ranges produced with style and design, using the best materials and developing the most modern technologies. Over the years, our constant attention to research and technological innovation has allowed us to develop increasingly new and revolutionary innovations and technologies. Let's find out what they are together!
The true heart of every professional hairdryer.
The AC motors (alternate current) are 100% Made in Italy, from lighter and more resistant materials, and last for more than 2,000 hours.
They have been designed and tested in beauty salons, subjected to the typical wear of professional use: prolonged use, high temperatures, environments full of hair.
The special design of the inner cone is shaped in such a way to keep the motor cleaner, preventing hair from getting in and reducing the risk of malfunction.
The motor is designed to last longer, for continuous, repeated and prolonged use.
The heart and soul of professional hair straighteners.
The element heats quickly, maintains a constant temperature and adapts to all hair types. This is the best kept secret of a professional hair straightener.
With the brand new IHT (Instant Heat Technology) element, all these advantages are concentrated into a single technology.
Higher temperatures (up to 230°C) are reached instantly, and above all uniformly across the whole surface of the heating plates.
In this way, just one stroke across the hair is required to obtain the desired style, avoiding unnecessary and harmful heat stress. The hair suffers no damage, and is able to hold the style longer.
In the past, straighteners took a long time to reach the maximum working temperature, and the hair was in contact with the heat for longer, leading to unavoidable damage.
When we introduced Quick Heat technology more than 10 years ago, it was a revolution for the professional beauty world: using hair straighteners became safer andthe hair was better protected.
Quick Heat was the first element applied to hair straighteners that heated in just a few seconds, and IHT is the latest evolution, ensuring instantaneous heating.
Fundamental for beautiful, healthy hair.
GAMA PROFESSIONAL hair dryers are equipped with Ion Technology, which makes the hair shinier, reducing humidity and static electricity.
By releasing negative ions, it revitalises the hair cuticle, previously weak and tired.
After styling, the cuticle is revitalised and the hair appears healthy and shiny once more.
Gama lets you forget untamed hair, and welcomes easy, quick and perfect styling.
Lots of different styles with GAMA PROFESSIONAL products.
Every detail is studied to offer immediate, tangible advantages in using our products.
The professional world inside the beauty salon is our benchmark for every innovation and product improvement.
Our hair dryers, 100% Made in Italy, are for example the only ones on the market supplied with two different nozzles.
A classic 6 mm nozzle for everyday styling, and a professional ultra-slim 9 mm nozzle for even quicker and simpler styling.
In the same way the hair straighteners incorporate in their design a component of extreme flexibility.
In the slim models, the particular shape of the heating plates together with the high temperature reached even on the outside of the straightener body means you can use the same instrument to create different styles.
In just a few moments you can create the classic smooth style or more voluminous curls, with just one hair straightener.
The secret of beautiful, shiny hair.
The type of material used to make our professional appliances has a direct influence on the styling results. With a wide, complete range of products, stylists and women who prefer our products are free to choose the desired effect.
TOURMALINE TECHNOLOGY: the layer of tourmaline covering the plates on our straighteners helps to protect the hair, making it shiny, soft and silky. Choosing this material for our straighteners, we ensure top protection together with a highly professional result.
TITANIUM TECHNOLOGY: lightness and strength are fundamental features of professional products. The titanium covering the plates makes the straighteners highly resistant and durable, extremely light and handy, at the same time treating the hair gently.
CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY: the ceramic covered plates are particularly delicate in the hair, preventing damaging heat stress. Free, natural and dynamic hair.
To suit all hair types.
The choice of the most suitable temperature for the hair type being styled is the most important moment for achieving the desired style without the risk of damaging the hair.
The table above shows the ideal temperatures: thin or treated hair needs low working temperatures, around 140°-150°C.
On the other hand, thick, natural hair may be styled at higher temperatures, up to 230°C.
Most of our hair straighteners have this important feature, and the digital display allows you to control the working temperature.
As gentle on the hair as you'll find.
The choice of the most suitable materials and the correct working temperature are supported by the possibility of choosing a hair straightener with suspended plates.
The springs under the plates allow the straightener to mould perfectly to the hair in all the movements necessary to create the desired style. A light, gentle touch for the best in hair care.
The practicality of always using the same straighteners.
When you get to know your own hair, it is easier to create and experiment with new and different styles. The Memory function allows you to memorise your favourite temperature to suit your needs.
When switched on, the straighteners automatically reach the set temperature, leaving you to focus on your creative style.
Freedom and practicality at the beauty salon.
A professional tool must be able to ensure maximum freedom of movement when styling. All our products come with a flexible but resistant 3 m plastic and silicone cable.
Some hair dryer models also have a special cable gland providing a more ergonomic, safer grip, making the hairdryer even lighter and handier.

IIC Technlogies UK, starts bathymetric survey in the lakes of Sava, Finland.
posted in development by admin
Last month IIC Technologies owned launches, fully equipped with up-to-date survey equipment, returned to Sava in Finland for the second season of bathymetric survey. The lakes of Sava had been heavily frozen throughout the winter months but following the big thaw, the IIC Technologies team rapidly mobilised 5 survey vessels to begin surveying the 800 km2 area of the Finnish Lakeland to the 2.5m contour line using single beam and multi beam echo sounders.
The surveys are being conducted on behalf of the Finnish Transport Agency (FTA) to the exacting standards of the International Hydrographic Organisation. These standards are specifically designed for navigational chart purposes to ensure that all dangers are found, an area in which IIC Technologies specialises.
The team have quite a challenge on their hands. Some of the areas are un-surveyed and with shallow waters and rocky outcrops the conditions can be testing. Nonetheless IIC Technologies loves a challenge and the team will be surveying until the lakes freeze over with the onset of winter.

Lactational breast changes/lobular hyperplasia mimicking masses: how can we differentiate from true pathological masses?

Source of Support: None, Conflict of Interest: None
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the role of sonomammography in the characterization of clinically palpable breast masses during pregnancy and lactation with differentiation of true and false (lobular hyperplasia/lactational changes) masses.Materials and methodsOne hundred patients with clinically palpable breast masses during pregnancy and lactation were evaluated by means of ultrasound (US). Mammography was performed only for 23 patients. Mammographic and sonographic findings were evaluated retrospectively. When US or mammography revealed a benign lesion, no further diagnostic evaluation was necessary. However, when US or mammography demonstrated a suspicious lesion, biopsy was performed.ResultsUS showed lobular hyperplasia/lactational breast changes categorized as Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System 2 (BI-RADS 2) in 13 cases, a lesion with the criteria of benignity categorized as BI-RADS 2 in four cases, BI-RADS 3 in 68 cases, BI-RADS 4 in three cases, and BI-RADS 5 in 12 cases. Mammography showed normal dense breast categorized as BI-RADS 1 in four cases, lesions with criteria of benignity categorized as BI-RADS 3 in six cases, BI-RADS 4 in two cases, and BI-RADS 5 in 11 cases. Trucut biopsy established the pathological diagnosis in 22 cases.ConclusionMost of the pregnancy-associated breast masses are benign. Nevertheless, a strict assessment of any lesion is required, to exclude malignancy and to rule out lactational breast changes/lobular hyperplasia that may present as lump. US is the most appropriate radiologic method for evaluating breast disorders in women during pregnancy and lactation.

Leukemia Facts
Leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. Leukemic cells look different than normal white blood cells and do not function properly.
Types of Leukemia
There are four main types of leukemia:
- Acute myelogenous leukemia
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia
- Acute lymphocytic leukemia
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
These types can be further divided into subtypes.
When classifying the type of leukemia, the first steps are to determine if the cancer is:
- Lymphocytic or myelogenous leukemia; and
- Acute or chronic leukemia
Cancer can occur in either the lymphoid (lymph node tissue) or myeloid (bone marrow) white blood cells.
Lymphocytic leukemia: Cancer develops in the lymphocytes (lymphoid cells)
Myelogenous leukemia: Cancer develops in the granulocytes or monocytes (myeloid cells)
Leukemia is also either acute or chronic.
Acute leukemia: The new or immature cancer cells, called blasts, remain very immature and cannot perform their functions. The blasts increase in number rapidly, and the disease progresses quickly.
Chronic leukemia: There are some blast cells present, but they are more mature and are able to perform some of their functions. The cells grow more slowly, and the number increases less quickly, so the disease progresses gradually. Chronic leukemia may affect the skin, central nervous system, digestive tract, kidneys, and testicles.
Diagnostic Procedures
When diagnosing leukemia, a doctor performs a complete medical history, a physical examination, blood tests, and X-rays. Other diagnostic procedures that may be used include the following:
Bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy—a procedure that involves taking a small amount of bone marrow fluid (aspiration) and/or solid bone marrow tissue (called a core biopsy), usually from the hip bones, to be examined for the number, size, and maturity of blood cells and/or abnormal cells
Complete blood count (CBC)—a measurement of size, number, and maturity of different blood cells in a specific volume of blood
Computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan)—a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices) of the body
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body
Ultrasound (also called sonography)—a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to view internal organs as they function and to assess blood flow through various vessels
Lymph node biopsy—a procedure performed to remove tissue or cells from the body for examination under a microscope
Spinal tap/lumbar puncture—a procedure in which a special needle is placed into the lower back, into the spinal canal (the area around the spinal cord), to remove cerebral spinal fluid to determine if leukemia involves the central nervous system and to exclude the possibility of an infection or other problems
Many factors contribute to a comprehensive leukemia treatment plan. Treatment for acute and chronic leukemias may include chemotherapy or targeted therapy medications, radiation therapy, bone marrow transplantation, biological therapy, blood transfusion, and medications.

This post has been buzzing inside my head for a while. I has to do with a video I came across a couple of weeks ago that really bothered me, but with the attacks in France, and everything else that's been going on in the real world lately, it just felt too trivial to write about. Anyway, now that some time has gone by the time has come for me to try to get back in the rhythm of things, so here it goes.
This one has to do with homeopathy, or rather with the way in which its detractors go totally insane as soon as the h-word is mentioned (they basically react as if it were a particularly nasty, and an unusually long, four-letter word). Now, before we go any further, a bit of a disclaimer:
My relationship with homeopathy is a complicated one. My father's a doctor, as are a number of other members of my family, so I grew up in a world in which the notion that 'homeopathy is nonsense' was a given, then two years ago something I had a problem a medical professional that caused me to reexamine some of my beliefs (okay, she was a vet, my thirteen-year-old dog was having a number of age-related issues, and I was not to sure about how she was approaching the whole thing). There was one aspect in particular that, while not terribly serious from a medical perspective, I found particularly annoying: my girl had become incontinent due to an estrogen deficiency. Seeing how she can usually be found curled up on the couch behind me as I write, it was beginning to look like my choices were to evict her from what had always been her spot (i.e. to punish her for being sick), or to resign myself to spend my days sitting in a pool of urine. As you can probably imagine, neither one of these options sounded particularly appealing. The vet suggested hormone replacement therapy, but I wasn't quite ready to walk down that path, not without a second opinion anyway. The way I saw it, her incontinence was a condition that presented a number of characteristics that called for a different approach. In a nutshell, it was a chronic problem that was likely to stay with my girl for the rest of her life, but at the same time it was not a degenerative condition where an aggressive intervention was a must. That gave me an unexpected bit of leeway, so I decided to try everything, beginning with the least aggressive option, and moving up from there… and even if it went against a lifetime of indoctrination, I decided to give homeopathy a fair shot (it was, after all, the least aggressive option). No, I didn't go to Petco, and grab the first product off the shelves, what I did -knowing that I was dealing with something I knew absolutely nothing about- was to get in touch with a homeopathic vet, and set up an appointment. The outcome? Forty-eight hours later the problem was gone, and I was flabbergasted. So where do I stand? Well, my common sense is still telling me that homeopathy shouldn't work, the evidence of my own eyes tells me that maybe I shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it, and two years later I'm still trying to figure out how exactly does the placebo effect work on a dog.

My grading is done.
Of course, it will be back again on Wednesday, but still. I'm trying to enjoy the reprieve.
My New York trip was good. The bus on the way back had no heat- it was about 35 degrees inside. I lost all the feeling in my toes and nose. But I enjoyed seeing the offices of Discover Magazine and might apply for an internship there.
I really don't like that so many of the internships for writing are in New York. The city is an absolute sensory overload, not to mention ridiculously expensive. It's a matter of deciding whether or not I'm willing to put up with the city for a while in order to get a decent job and then move OUT of the city.
The thing that I like about living in an urban area is that I can walk almost everywhere. It's a hassle sometimes to get in the car and go somewhere. Even if it takes 5 minutes longer, I enjoy just using my two little feet to get wherever I need to be.
I hate all of this uncertainty. I want A Plan. I want to know what I will be doing next year. That would be really nice. But I don't have that. I'm looking at needing a series of short internships to do what I want to do, which means more moving, more uprooting of myself, more of pretty much everything that I don't like.
Yet I want a career as a writer. I don't know that I can imagine doing a whole lot different. So how much am I willing to put up with?
I wish I knew the answer to that. And I wish I could find out the answer to that as I went along. Every other time I've had to deal with a question like that, the anxiety has overwhelmed me and I've wound up back in treatment. I don't want that. I am so incredibly sick of treatment. I know I still need therapy, though there are times when I still am not thrilled with having to go. But I don't want more hospitals and treatment centers and 6 am blood pressure checks.
This fear is fueling the anxiety, which makes everything even more futile. If freaking out about having to go back to treatment is adding to the anxiety, and an increase in anxiety leads to an increase in relapse, then I'm really not doing myself a whole lot of good.
Though, truth be told, I'm also worried that if I get in a job that requires long hours, I won't be able to work out enough, or be forced to eat more take out and then gain weight. I don't know which freaks me out more, though I'm going to have to go with the latter. If push came to shove. I hope it doesn't, but still...
It's been a long day, and I'm completely exhausted. Tomorrow I don't need to use my alarm clock- an event worthy of the recapitulation of Handel's Messiah. Even if I don't sleep more than usual (and with the meds I'm on, it's likely that I won't), I just hate having some stupid machine harp at me, "Get up! Get up! Getupgetupgetupgetupgetup!"

For instance, people with neutral players (AI neutral) at borders will not need to disturb them and they will not pose threats until attacked - so people with bordering neutrals can easily focus on live neighbors. But, if there is neutral AI that can attack if he sees weakness in your defense this is different story.
If players that are booted get back, they will have cumulative armies that were not used in clashes, thus they will be in better position than people who play continuously.

New Right to Build Legislation
Self build moves closer to becoming a mainstream housing choice thanks to the Right to Build legislation
The Right to Build, set to shake up the housebuilding industry when it commences on 31 October 2016, is an initiative to support aspiring custom and self builders. The new legislation, championed by Homebuilding & Renovating, will, over the coming years, allow thousands of people access to much-needed land on which to build their own home through either self build or custom build.
The scheme, which applies to all local authorities in England, is set to be a game changer and is anticipated to drive significant growth in the custom and self build sector. As of 1 April 2016, local authorities have had a duty to maintain a demand register of members of the public looking for a building plot and under the new duty commencing on 31 October, they must grant planning permission for sufficient plots to meet that demand within three years, on a rolling basis.
If they opt to do so, local authorities will be able to give priority to those with connections to the local community. The legislation is also available for Wales should the Welsh Assembly vote to commence it in the future.
Michael Holmes, spokesperson for The Homebuilding & Renovating brand and chair of the National Custom and Self Build Association (NaCSBA), says: "We're committed to promote the Right to Build which will help to drive a thriving custom and self build market in the UK. The serviced building plots made available by this Government through the Right to Build will allow both SMEs and consumers to access land on which to build individual, sustainable, affordable homes they wouldn't have been able to previously.
"It's another step forward in making self and custom build a mainstream housing choice. The key to the success of the Right to Build is for everyone who wants to build their own home to get their name on the waiting list for a plot with their local authority via the RightToBuildPortal.org".
Homebuilding & Renovating, alongside NaCSBA, is now campaigning for local planning authorities that have failed to meet their legal duty by signing up for the scheme to take urgent action. It is also working to persuade the Scottish Government to live up to its promise to establish a self build initiative for Scotland as set out in Homes for for the 21st Century, it's Strategy and Action Plan for Housing in the next decade.

HTC may be struggling to re-assert its presence around the world, but in its home turf, Taiwan, it is still a highly popular choice among consumers.
As indicated by the recent data released from global research firm IDC (via Focus Channel Taiwan), HTC "remained the second largest smartphone seller in [Taiwan] last year…despite its falling share in the cut throat marketplace," and ended up with approximately 21% of the local market.
The Taiwanese company is not quite able to beat Samsung yet –the Korean giant seized up to 28% of the country's market–but it has managed to stay ahead of global rival companies such as Apple (13%), Sony (16%), and LG (3%);
In 2013, HTC's sales from both the HTC One and Butterfly were notably impressive due to the growing popularity of large sized smartphone devices and smartphone/tablet hybrids. The proportion of smartphones sold in Taiwan that had a "5 inch or larger" screen, according to IDC, had exploded from 7% in 2012 to 35% in 2013.

Partnership and obligation
Mutual trust, a customer-friendly approach and close ties to the public administration are the columns on which the success of the Kaiserslautern municipal savings bank (Stadtsparkasse) is based. Customer-friendliness in this context not only means competent and face-to-face consulting services, but also omnipresence: 20 branch offices and six self-service terminals all over town guarantee fast service virtually around the corner for every one of the more than 100,000 Kaiserslautern inhabitants. Responsible for this success are the 270 employees of the savings bank who have generated a balance sheet total of approximately 850 million EUR in 2002. With its regional roots, the municipal savings bank considers itself to be more than just another bank. Participation in local activities is very important as the bank feels close to the Kaiserslautern residents, its businesses and the city's economy. The municipal savings bank supports activities in the fields of economic and structural development as well as public welfare. It also supports charity organisations, sports and cultural events, and many youth and science activities.
Customer-oriented in all aspects
Customer-friendliness has many forms for the Kaiserslautern municipal savings bank: customised solutions for the requirements of individual companies, attractive products for private customers, and a range of competent consulting and service activities are offered in a modern environment. For example, the bank's principal office has been modernised and redesigned from top to bottom in order to create an attractive and even more secure environment for clients to manage their financial affairs. As part of this modernisation an innovative camera surveillance concept has been introduced.
Convincing concept
|MOBOTIX cameras do not need additional software and can be managed conveniently via an Internet browser
Werner Stumpf, CEO of the Kaiserslautern municipal savings bank says, "when we first started planning the remodelling of our principal office in 2001, we also thought about integrating a better surveillance solution." The insurance company only requested that the cash desks be monitored by cameras. "We did not consider this to be sufficient," Werner Stumpf says, "In case of a raid, we wanted the best possible documentation of the surrounding and the entrance areas. Also, we wanted additional cameras to improve building protection and to provide surveillance of our IT and technical engineering centres as well as the client vaults," Mr. Stumpf adds. The surveillance cameras previously used were not capable of meeting these objectives. They were solely designed to monitor the cashier area during a raid and were rather complicated in handling and maintenance, "then, our mayor and chairman of the board of directors, Bernhard Deubig, brought a new product by a Kaiserslautern company to our attention," Werner Stumpf remembers. "We got in touch with MOBOTIX and enjoyed the presentation of their network camera. I myself was immediately convinced by this solution's potential. Our director of operations felt the same way. And the low cost definitely was a big plus for MOBOTIX."
Officially certified
However, until then, the device had not been officially certified for banking environments. Thus, MOBOTIX developed a new version for the cashier area - the banking camera. This camera version is equipped with two alarm storages and one suspicion storage. This setup enables the cashier to trigger a special alert when a raid or a suspicious situation occurs. Due to an integrated ring buffer, temporary images are stored non-stop. When an alarm is triggered, the images of 15 minutes before and after the alarm are stored permanently so that the official requirements are met. These sequences can then be evaluated directly.
Easy handling
MOBOTIX cameras do not need additional software and can be managed conveniently via an Internet browser. "All we need is a customized configuration for administering the individual banking and surveillance cameras," adds the director of operations, Michael Valk. This sums up one of MOBOTIX' basic concepts: the company concentrates on actively developing excellent stand-alone solutions that are designed to allow the the user to configure the camera in a simple and efficient manner.
Compared to the former solution, the MOBOTIX cameras deliver more images at higher quality, and the images can be evaluated much faster
In close cooperation with MOBOTIX, IT specialist Thomas Koob, of the municipal savings bank, developed a customised concept. For example, for every branch office, he set up an additional server for the banking cameras in order to guarantee permanent availability. For security purposes, these cameras operate in a physically separated subnet to avoid negative effects should, in case of an alarm, the entire bank network be overloaded. The camera uses the TCP/IP protocol and, thus, is able to access the bank network through a multi-tier firewall system via gateways. This allows for centralised administration, live image control, maintenance and permanent availability and status checks of the surveillance system with automatic timely notification in case of a system malfunction.
Extraordinary recordings
"For us, the advantages of the new system are obvious," says CEO Werner Stumpf. "In case of a raid, the camera not only records the event itself but also everything else happening in the surrounding areas. Compared to the former solution, the MOBOTIX cameras deliver more images at higher quality, and the images can be evaluated much faster. We are also very satisfied with the camera's performance in monitoring the building, the IT and technical engineering centres as well as the vaults."Recently, the new solution proved very helpful in an ATM incident. In this case of credit card fraud, the cameras recorded images of the perpetrator that were immediately available. Thomas Koop recalls the police's positive reaction."The officers were astonished by the high quality of the photos that could immediately be used for the search," he says.

In the US, obesity affects over 37% of the adult and over 16% of the child and adolescent population. Although not-for-profit agencies cannot directly control what a person eats, they can influence the supply side of the obesity epidemic by incentivizing food retailers to open stores in regions of the US where healthy food options do not exist. CHOT researchers present an incentive contract design for food retailers to reduce food deserts in the US. These subsidies are designed to create financially viable conditions for food retailers to offer high quality, healthy food alternatives. The researchers developed optimization models to determine the most effective and equitable resource allocations. The impact of retailer location on obesity rate is based on estimates of marginal effect of incentives on obesity rate. Given an example initiative in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding counties, the overall countywide obesity rate would decrease by 1.17%. This incentive contract design strategy is a positive step toward ensuring that the underserved US population has better access to healthy foods while helping solve the obesity epidemic.

Hoping to capitalize on the success of its carbon-reporting program, a leading nonprofit is asking major corporations to disclose their water consumption.
Concerned that climate change could result in a water shortage, the Carbon Disclosure Project — the same group that convinced major companies to disclose greenhouse gas emissions — is asking the business community to come clean on how much water it uses, The New York Times reported.
With an eye toward establishing reporting standards, the Carbon Disclosure Project is asking 302 companies worldwide to put together detailed reports on their water use. The campaign includes an 11-page questionnaire that asks companies to specify to what extent they operate in water-stressed areas. To start, the questionnaire was sent to corporations in water-intensive industries — such as mining, oil and gas production, car manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.
So far, companies such as Ford Motor, PepsiCo and Molson Coors Brewing have signed on to the campaign.
"Unlike carbon, water use isn't fungible," said Bart Alexander, vice president for global corporate responsibility at Molson Coors. "You can't offset a water shortage in one region with credits in another region."
"I think the investor community is concerned about companies that are good at managing their costs, and increasingly water is a cost issue as demand grows in many parts of the world," he added.
To be sure, the business community is grappling with water-relate issues. In New York, plans for Entergy's Indian Point nuclear power plant were scrapped because of the massive quantity of cooling water that would have been needed. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has added new water quality rules that apply to mining companies.
"For investors, it's a material issue," said Marcus Norton, head of C.D.P.'s Water Disclosure project. "It matters because long-term investors in particular see that water scarcity is going to impact companies' operations and supply chains."
Norges Bank Investment Management, an Oslo-based bank, counted more than 1,000 companies in its portfolio that face what's known as water risks, said Anne Kvam, global head of ownership strategies.
"As investors, we need to know if companies are in industry sectors or regions where water supplies are scarce and how they are managing those supplies," she said.
