The Cyclamen has in fact been successfully rebloomed. (It even has more blooms on it than it did when I bought it!) So it can be done.
The plant still makes me kind of nervous -- I'm afraid that at any moment it's going to fall to pieces and I won't know why -- but I never expected to get this far with it, so I'm feeling a sort of anxious pride about this.
Not that I ever feel any other kind of pride, it should be noted.

Unfinished business: Cyclamen persicum

Pretty. I've got to try one of those again sometime. I was a plant newbie when I bought mine and didn't realize that the fuzzy white stuff was webbing from cyclamen mites.
I thoroughly enjoyed it while it lasted, however. I was utterly fascinated by the fact that they bloom so quickly that you can actually watch the flowers open.

Wow. I have never rebloomed a cyclamen -- nice job!

In the current political climate, gay pride is an anxious pride.

I almost gave up on our white cyclamen a few times, but my boyfriend kept saying "Give it another chance." It was on our back porch in LA, mostly shaded. It came back time and again, from pathetic looking and near-death, to fully blooming and looking gorgeous--recapturing its former glory. Until---we went out of town for a long time, boyfriend left it in the sunny part of porch, and it finally gave up the ghost. So sad.
BUT--this is to say they can be hardy. Congratulations to you! So happy for you. May your cyclamen continue to bloom for many years.

Job well done, MS! Any tips to share?

Nothing that would be much of a surprise, really. I have it in the basement, under a fluorescent shop light. The basement is usually cooler than the rest of the house, but lately it's been much cooler, because it's been so hot outside that the air conditioning has been running more than usual. Other than that, nothing much: I water and feed like I do for most of my other plants.

Great job! I tried cyclamen once, it came from grocery store but promptly died, nevermind reblooming. You obviously doing something right.

I only see cyclamen plants here during the Christmas season. I also wonder if I can ever successfully grow a cyclamen in my climate. Getting a plant to rebloom with more flowers than when it was first purchased gives me a sense of satisfaction and achievement. Thanks to digital cameras, we can document the moment for keeps.

Amber's curriculum and learning must all be structured to compensate for or accommodate her multiple chronic conditions that do affect her physical stamina and mental acuity. Many of the positive changes we have made to our schooling methods in the past year were based on recommendations from Amber's occupational therapist. (See her complete curriculum list here).
English Language Arts: English 1
We have chose to use a mixture of curriculum and products to create a high school level English 1 course for Amber. While it would be a dream to find everything she needs in one package, the reality is that is unlikely to happen. Instead, we focused our energy on finding sufficiently rigorous curriculum that provide the flexibility needed for Amber's daily physical and mental fluctuations.
Writing: Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW)
Grammar: Fix It! Grammar from IEW
Vocabulary: Latin Morphemes Lessons (Latin and Loving It)
Literature: Teaching the Classics method, plus a few Memoria Press guides for Shakespeare and poetry.
|Working on Fix It! Grammar
Amber has been using the IEW writing program for a couple of years now and we have continued through the standard path provided. After finishing a previous grammar program, we floundered looking for one that suited Amber, but finally found it in Fix It! Grammar. I had Amber take the placement test and then backed her up one level, just to ensure she gets the most from it. She will continue with this product the next year or so until she finishes all the levels available.
I had not intended to formally include vocabulary in Amber's English 1 credit, but she honestly loves studying Greek and Latin Morphemes, so we are continuing with this curriculum. When it is complete, we will make decisions on purposeful vocabulary lessons.
Literature is one of Amber's absolute favorite subjects, but finding a curriculum that fit all of our requirements seemed impossible. We have successfully been using the methods set forth in Teaching the Classics for the majority of Amber's literature this year. Still, I wasn't all the confident on my ability to lead her through Shakespeare or even the poetry she adores. So, we are using an old favorite, Memoria Press, for Romeo and Juliet and American Poetry.
During our initial planning I did fall into the worry trap, concerned about how we would complete all of language arts each day, or even each week. Then, thinking back to my own high school honors English courses, we did not do any of these topics daily. We had on-going literature assignments, between which we worked on grammar, related vocabulary, and writing style. Our writing assignments were usually based on our current literature project and not independent writings, unless it was a course entirely devoted to writing.
I decided to structure Amber's English 1 course in the same way. She always has a literature project going, but we may not work on it during our class time every day. We alternate grammar and vocabulary while giving emphasis to writing most weeks. This has been very successful so far and thus we will continue with this schedule for the foreseeable future.
English Language Arts: Creative Writing
Amber decided she wanted to earn two creative writing credits, separate from her English credits, over the course of the four years of high school. We have started the first credit by using One Year Adventure Novel. Although Amber isn't as far along in this as she would like, she does love it and is improving. She has set it aside at times for a couple of other writing projects, but we always come back to the curriculum.
Foreign Language: German
Over the years, Amber has taken several foreign languages and enjoys learning new languages. She's been studying German with me for a couple of years already, and is continuing with it through high school. Unfortunately, our previous curriculum was discontinued and we've now had to switch over to Portfolio Deutsch from Klett-Langenscheidt. This curriculum was one of my original contenders, but it is more expensive than our previous set. Since I also teach German at our co-op, we went with the least expensive set to make book purchases easier for my students. However, Amber and I have been much happier with Portofolio Deutsch than our previous curriculum.
Extras - Speech
What is speech, besides words? I made the decision to use the IEW Speech Bootcamp at home with Amber, but the opportunity unexpectedly arose to teach it at our co-op last semester. This was a fantastic video course that put the students at ease while giving them the basics of speech presentation and writing. After going through the course with a small class, I'm glad we had the chance for Amber to take speech with a group instead of at home with just me.
Next week I'll be talking about how unique science topics and math have been working out for us in high school, so far.

Life is a juggling act but juggling isn't always easy. It is a skill that must be fostered and constantly worked on. If you take on too much, you burn-out. If you take on too little you are left wondering what your purpose in life is and if you are like me you are working hard to keep everything up in the air where it should be. So, the juggling jug called my Blog, has been falling down a lot as has been exercising and other things I don't even realize yet that have taken a back seat in my life. The "to-do" list is too long and I am not organized enough nor have the brain cells in my memory to make it all work. But life is also like riding one of those buck-you-off bull rides, you have to get back on and try again. Persistence is a big key to your growth. Giving up cannot be an option. Get back on the bull, pick up the balls you are juggling and start over. In the midst of starting over, look to God and rely on Him to help you stay on the bull and keep the balls flying through the air.
Hebrews 10:36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

The Dreaded Question
I met a new client for my senior care provider job yesterday. She and her husband were warm and friendly. As she was showing me around their house and discussing what I would be doing, she asked the dreaded question, "when are you due?" Okay, now I have been battling this issue my entire life. Even when I was a skinny teenager, I still had a bump of a stomach. It is just the way God made me. It can be more pronounced with my posture and clothing and if you are viewing me from the side as she was. The last time this happened was in church a couple of years ago. I ended up crying silently beside the woman who asked the question no woman wants to hear when there isn't any possibility of it being true. But this time was different. I was able to handle it all with grace given to me by God to smile and shrug it off as nothing but a sweet lady that loves babies. It is a testimony to the power of the Holy Spirit and his work in me to see this progress in my response to this question that has plagued my life. It's okay because God made me this way and he loves every part of me, pot-bellied stomach and all.

From The Inner Voice of Love
It is not going to be easy to listen to God's call. Your insecurity, your self-doubt, and your great need for affirmation make you lose trust in your inner voice and run away from yourself. But you know that God speaks to you through your inner voice and that you will find joy and peace only if you follow it. From The Inner Voice of Love by Henri Nouwen
I struggled with my call and finally listened to that inner voice from God and have the peace and joy of knowing I am seeking God's will.
I struggled with my call and finally listened to that inner voice from God and have the peace and joy of knowing I am seeking God's will.

"France will strike" if chemical weapons are found to have been used against civilians in the Syrian conflict in violation of international treaties, French President Emmanuel Macron has warned.
Macron delivered the warning in a telephone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In it he expressed concern over signs that chlorine bombs had been used against civilians in Syria and it follows his public promise last May that the use of chemical weapons would represent a "red line." Reuters reports he said:
On chemical weapons, I set a red line and I reaffirm that red line. If we have proven evidence that chemical weapons proscribed in treaties are used, we will strike the place where they are made.
Today, our agencies, our armed forces have not established that chemical weapons, as set out in treaties, have been used against the civilian population.
The Syrian government has repeatedly denied using chemical weapons and said it targets only armed rebels and militants, although plenty of allegations have been made during the bloody Syria civil war. This is despite the fact Russia guaranteed that Damascus destroyed its entire chemical weapons arsenal in 2014.
As Breitbart News reported, as recently as last month rescue workers were reporting that warplanes from the regime of Syria's president Bashar al-Assad and from his ally Russia had stepped up bombing attacks on civilians in densely populated neighborhoods in Eastern Ghouta and Idlib, and the use of chlorine gas was reported. At least 29 people were killed.
Typically, chlorine gas is delivered through the use of barrel bombs. The barrel bombs are filled with metal and chlorine gas in order to maximise casualties.
Last week the State Department and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley condemned the Russian government following those reports of Syrian government attacks on civilians using chemical weapons.
Ambassador Haley also made remarks condemning a Russian draft resolution at the U.N. Security Council intended to address the chemical weapons issue.
"For their new investigation, Russia wants to be able to cherry pick the investigators. It wants to insert unnecessary and arbitrary investigative standards," she said. "And it wants the Security Council to be able to review all of the findings of this investigation and decide what makes it into the final report. This is not an impartial mechanism. It is a way to whitewash the findings of the last investigation that Russia desperately wants to bury."
"Few things have horrified my country and the world as much as the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons against its people. This Council has been outspoken on ending Syria's use of chemical weapons, and yet, they continue," Haley noted.
France and the United Nations have repeatedly called in past months for a Syria ceasefire and the opening of aid corridors to alleviate the region's humanitarian crisis. Russia, Assad's most powerful ally, said last week a ceasefire was not realistic.

|I wish this would have turned out better, but almost all the leaves are off our red lace leaf maple. It had rained really hard, and the rain drops looked like glass drops.
In my last blog, the update on Joe was, Dr. Hu, his oncologist has rescheduled his first chemo treatment on December 16th. She wants to make sure his incision is healed and he is a little stronger after having the bowel resection. She said just take the next 2+ weeks and rest and recuperate. That's exactly what we are doing.

A lire sur: http://searchmanufacturingerp.techtarget.com/news/2240216631/IDC-Directions-2014-maps-out-third-platform-disruptions-in-detail
BOSTON -- The pillars of IDC's "third platform" of information technology were on the minds of attendees crowding the Hynes Convention Center ballroom for the IDC Directions 2014 conference yesterday. Conversations around "big data," social collaboration, mobile computing and cloud platforms proclaimed that the merging of these technologies -- the conference theme for the past few years -- is disrupting entire industries, which in turn puts more pressure on IT professionals to adapt or fade away.
Frank Gens, senior vice president and chief analyst for Framingham, Mass.-based IDC, opened the day with a keynote that doubled as a call to arms. Focusing on the changing demands of the third platform, Gens outlined the five key battlegrounds that will determine the winners -- and losers -- in 2014's business innovation war.
According to IDC, 25% of all IT spending in 2013 went toward the third platform, a percentage that will only grow in coming years. "Virtually 100% of all the marginal spending growth in IT is now coming from third platform," Gens said. "Now that every vendor in the industry has their full attention on that marketplace, this year is going to be all about pitched battles in every single corner of the third platform to establish new leadership in this market."
The first battleground is core infrastructure, according to Gens. IDC predicts that the number of global cloud delivery centers will double in the next two years, with more vendors moving cloud capacity to developing marketplaces. This will lead to industry consolidation within the next four years, Gens added, with the dozens of cloud infrastructure providers that are active today shrinking to between six and eight conglomerations.
Gens introduced Internet-connected items -- beyond smartphones and tablets -- as the next battleground. Manufacturers are introducing connectivity in some surprising products: jewelry, sports equipment and even toothbrushes, he said. The growth in connective devices ties directly into the Internet of Things (IoT), which Gens predicts will also see a boom in coming years.
"If you're trying to carve out a space in [IoT], I would say that if you have an industrial internet strategy, that's important -- but you better have a good consumer Internet of Things strategy or you're going to miss the action," he said.
The third theater of war on Gens' strategy map is platform providers -- specifically,Platform as a Service (PaaS). Developers of cloud applications will rely on PaaS to deploy and support their software – a significant development, he said, because IDC research indicates that 80% of new cloud apps in development will be hosted on the top six PaaS providers. Developers will only want to create apps for the most popular platforms. "It's like musical chairs," Gens said. "When the music stops, there are only so many seats left."
Industry-specific platforms are also on the rise. By 2016, more than 100 platforms targeting individual industries will be on the market, Gens said. Most significantly, big players in those industries -- GE, Disney and John Deere, to name a few -- are the ones leading the charge toward innovation and are often welcoming their competitors in as collaborators.
Gens' fourth battleground is cloud applications, with tenfold growth projected over the next four years. About two-thirds of them will be process or role-based business solutions, he added, and 75-80% of new cloud apps will be big dataintensive. "This is really the new treasure hunt for us in the IT industry," Gens said.
The final battleground is centered on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Over the next two years, IDC expects to see a large increase in the number of specialized infrastructure services. "The last five years, anyone who's looked at the software industry have seen a huge flip," Gens explained. The enterprise was once the traditional beginning point for new software, but that starting line has moved to the cloud. "Software developers have said, 'If I have a new product, I can get it to market and scale is much more quickly if I introduce it first through a cloud service.'"
Cloud, big data forcing tectonic shifts in IT
Addressing an audience roughly evenly split between IT professionals, vendors and business users, other analysts followed Gens on the keynote stage to lay out the reasons why the third platform is a juggernaut that could squash anyone caught looking the wrong way.
Dan Vesset, IDC's program vice president for business analytics, said that while big data and analytics is a $113 billion worldwide market growing 11% a year, 60% of organizations say they lack the analytics skills to take advantage of it. Vesset cited several examples of successful big-data projects, including runway monitoring devices at nearby Logan International Airport, and said companies such as General Electric are increasingly recognizing data as an asset with significant monetary value. "There's an opportunity to become a platform for a full range of applications from all different industries.
These companies are looking to figure out how to monetize the data," he said.
These companies are looking to figure out how to monetize the data," he said.
Holding out Apple and Netflix as examples of companies that turned the threat of Internet content delivery into unprecedented opportunity, Danielle Levitas, IDC group vice president for mobility, consumer and digital media said demographic shifts will soon make mobile e-commerce the norm, opening new opportunities for location-based marketing. Younger generations are more willing than older ones to sacrifice some privacy for convenience, which should cause the market for mobile e-commerce to expand rapidly. Vendors and IT departments can rise to the occasion by ensuring that mobile applications put convenience, context and relevance first, Levitas said.
The third platform, especially cloud computing, are transforming not just IT but the industries it serves, bringing unprecedented threats and opportunities to both. That was the key takeaway from the talk by Scott Lundstrom, an IDC group vice president with responsibility for the financial, government and healthcare sectors. "I've been doing this a long time, and I've never seen a market where so much is changing so quickly all at once," Lundstrom said. "This is a change or die moment." Customers are in some cases becoming competitors of IT vendors by packaging some of their services in the cloud, he said, and line-of-business managers have displaced IT managers as the main purchasers of technology.
In the closing keynote, Robert Metcalfe, co-inventor of Ethernet local area network (LAN) technology, exhorted attendees not to forget the foundational networking technology on which the third platform depends. He said emerging gigabit Internet standards will help make the Web less asynchronous and more truly interactive as network latency is alleviated.

WoW64 and 64-bit Hardware
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Increasingly, Windows server hardware is moving toward a 64-bit platform running 64-bit editions of Windows Server. However, this does not mean that your existing 32-bit applications will not run on Microsoft® Windows® 64-bit versions of Windows Server® 2008. 64-bit editions of Windows Server 2008 provides Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit (WoW64), an emulation layer that enables 32-bit Windows-based applications to run seamlessly on 64-bit Windows. This means that, as an IT Pro deploying 64-bit editions of Windows Server 2008 in your enterprise, you can continue to deploy and run your 32-bit applications as you did on your 32-bit systems.
For more information about WoW64 (particularly useful for application developers), see Best Practices for WOW64.

Kaneki and Ayato, together with the other ghouls, attack a CCG police van to rescue Naki, who is devastated upon discovering the death of his boss, Yamori. However, he is not aware that it was Kaneki who defeated Yamori, and he even thanks him for teaching him how to write his boss' name and proceeds to call him a good guy.
Hinami attends Takatsuki Sen's book signing event, in which she asks the author to write Kaneki Ken's name in the book since she plans to give it to him as a present. Nishiki, on the other hand, briefly tours Touka in Kamii University before leaving her all by herself to meet his girlfriend Kimi. Touka continues to walk around the area until she spots a poster of Kaneki on the school's bulletin board. She also meets Hideyoshi Nagachika and they briefly talk about Kaneki who is missing. After the short conversation, Hide returns to his work as a messenger in CCG where he surreptitiously acquires information about the "eyepatched ghoul" from Seidou.
Juuzou Suzuya finally obtains his new quinque and names it Juuzou's Jason. Kousuke Houji and his partner Seidou Takizawa present a report to him, Amon, Mado and Shinohara regarding their discovery. Their investigation points out the accident that happened months ago, where a man received an organ transplant from a deceased woman without his consent. They figure out the young man to be Kaneki Ken from Kamii University, who has gone missing after the surgery.

Baltimore County bids adieu to Joe Hairston
Dallas Dance succeeds Joe Hairston as superintendent
After 12 years serving as Baltimore County's school superintendent, Joe Hairston is ready to transition into retirement, but that doesn't mean he's closing the book on education.
Before leaving, Hairston shared some parting words with WBAL-TV 11 News Education Alert reporter Tim Tooten, who said he hasn't seen the superintendent more relaxed and eager to move on.
Hairston said he looks ahead to brighter days as he ties up the last of some unfinished business -- and some unfinished packing -- and he found it hard to sum up his final hours on the job.
"I can't say I'm in an emotional state, but it is certainly a relief," Hairston said. "You're on all the time, at least, my mind never stopped thinking about scenarios and situations and planning ahead. That's just the way it is," Hairston said.
Meanwhile, Hairston is making plans for his next assignment with a national company to help train school superintendents.
"This work is done. There's still something else out there to do. I am not done. I'm done doing this work here in Baltimore County," Hairston said.
As a mentor, Hairston said he hopes to pass along key experiences that he believes made him successful.
"I am at peace. I came to Baltimore County in peace and I will leave in peace," Hairston said.
Dallas Dance will begin his tenure as Baltimore County school superintendent on Sunday.
"I want you to know that Dr. Dance will have a clean slate," Hairston said. "He'll be in here July 1."

Announcing the Quantified Self Conference 2012
Alexandra Carmichael
February 14, 2012
We're excited to announce the third Quantified Self conference, to be held September 15-16, 2012 at Stanford University. Registration is now open, and please feel free to tweet… now!
Quantified Self 2012 is our third conference for users and tool makers interested in self-tracking systems. It will be a "working meeting" for the QS community (50 groups worldwide now), where we will gather, inspire, and learn from each other as we share and collaborate on self-tracking projects. This year we're welcoming 600 attendees, so we are exploring the idea of specialized tracks to help the conference retain an intimate feel of like-minded people finding each other.
If you are an advanced user, designer, tech inventor, entrepreneur, journalist, scientist, or health professional, please join us for a weekend of collaboration and inspiration! Like last year, we will have some scholarship registrations available for people if registration price is a barrier. If you either need financial assistance or would like to sponsor a scholarship for a grateful self-tracker to attend the conference, write to me here. You can register here.
As always, any attendee is welcome to present their self-tracking story or lead a breakout session. Send in your proposed topic to me here. We will be announcing speakers and topics in the coming weeks, and we look forward to seeing you in Palo Alto!

Now, what else should I be reading? Suggestions below:

Ah, the World Wide Web. Where would I be without its myriad useful tools?! Sites like BugGuide, flickr, Wikipedia, and twitter … it's amazing that people could get things done prior to its existence! (Just as it's amazing that I ever get anything done now because of its existence.)
I saw an opportunity to test the power of the Web today, when a video snippet from the The Daily Show came into my Twitter feed. At 2:00 Jon Stewart references an entomological factoid/stereotype in a joke about the state of gun control in the U.S. I'm a sucker for entomological references outside the world of science, especially ones that are wrong. So how did this one score?
First, the context: The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is apparently prohibited from investigating gun dealers for inventory discrepancies more than once a year, and the reality is that they only investigate dealers every 17 years. Jon Stewart then joked that he assumed this situation was the result of the ATF not having enough agents/inspectors rather than their agents being cicadas. As Jon Stewart said next: "let that insect joke just wash over you…"
Of course some periodical cicada species are famous for their synchronized 17-year life cycle—Magicicada septendecim (Linnaeus, 1758), M. septencassini (Fisher, 1851), and M. septendecula (Alexander & Moore, 1962)—but there are about 2,500 species of Cicadidae. A small minority of species take 17 years to develop. What about the species represented in the accompanying image? Doesn't look like Magicicada to me, not that I'm an Auchenorrhyncha specialist, but at least it's really a cicada!
Next steps: identify that species and find the science needed to bust this joke apart. It took me about 7 minutes to determine the species, and I literally know next to nothing about cicada taxonomy. A cropped screenshot, run through Google's image search came up empty, even after I supplemented the image file with key words, like 'cicada' and 'cicada tropical red yellow'. I thought for sure they must've grabbed that image from Wikipedia and therefore would have some useful figure legend. Nope. My quick browse revealed nothing. What about flickr? Surely a lazy image search (or less lazy CC BY 3.0 search) would reveal the image and its associated data … nope. Ok, what about just regular Google searches for 'cicada black yellow tropical' etc. This must be a common cicada species if people at the Daily Show found an image! No luck. Back to Wikipedia to browse up and down the classification. (several pages' worth of browsing) Hmm … Tosena looks close. Search flickr for Tosena and find this image. Not quite there but it seems like right ball park. The image caption mentions Borneo. Back to Google image search: 'cicada malaysia'. Ah ha! This cicada looks right:
Tacua speciosa (Illiger 1800). Does it have a 17-year life cycle? Wikipedia doesn't help. Google Scholar? Seems like almost nothing is known of this species, or at least very little has been published. The Encyclopedia of Life's Tacua speciosa page doesn't offer too much information either. This was perhaps the most useful page I could find about the species—http://www.cicadamania.com/cicadas/tacua-speciosa/—which still leaves me hanging with respect to understanding this species' natural history.
In summary, this exercise drove home two important points: 1) the Web is an increasingly useful tool. I was shocked at how little time it took me to determine this species (not sure I'm right, though!) and how many resources, both amateur and professional, I had at my disposal to get the answer. Again, I literally know next to nothing about cicada taxonomy. So, who needs keys?! (note to self: turn off comments for this post). 2) We know so little about the life histories of even the most conspicuous insects. This species is HUGE, colorful, charismatic, and frequently photographed (but not collected? Only 4 specimens listed in the Cicada Database) , yet we apparently know very little about its biology.
Not sure the Daily Show picked the best image to accompany their joke, but it's certainly a beautiful insect (and it's a cicada, so no taxonomic #fail). In the meantime let these beautiful images of Tacua speciosa wash over you.

Which Country Is Worst at Unplugging?
These days, everyone and their mother (literally) has a smartphone, and your odds of remaining disconnected during a trip to Maui are only as good (or bad) as your data plan. Not everyone feels the same way about taking a digital detox, though: a recent Tripadvisor study revealed which countries can't stop using smartphones on vacation.
The global TripBarometer Connected Traveler survey polled TripAdvisor users and travel providers, and used the 44,000 responses received from 15 different countries to explore the smartphone habits of international travelers.
The result? Like all the best rankings, this one's rife with ties: Thailand and China both took first place, with 65% of travelers from both countries identified as "Connected Travelers," relying heavily on their smartphones to not only book their trips, but also to look for restaurant reviews and things to do. Brazil tied with Indonesia for third place (59%), while Malaysia closed out the top five with 53%.
As for the least-connected nation, France took top (bottom?) honors with only 28% of travelers qualifying as being "connected." In fact, most of the least-connected nations were European, with Japan serving as the sole outlier. America's score of 48%, meanwhile, pushed it to the middle of the pack in 8th place.
Check out the full ranking below:
15. France (28%)
13. Germany (38%)
13. Japan (38%)
11. United Kingdom (44%)
11. Russia (44%)
9. Australia (47%)
9. India (47%)
8. United States (48%)
7. Italy (49%)
6. Spain (52%)
5. Malaysia (53%)
3. Indonesia (59%)
3. Brazil (59%)
1. China (65%)
1. Thailand (65%)

From Julie: I would love for people who've never tried yoga because of self doubt, body image issues or uncertainty about the adaptability to come and experience one of my classes and see if it's for them!
As a Health at Every Size (HAES) informed yoga teacher, I take my personal experience with body image and body positivity onto the mat in a focused way. I believe we all deserve the opportunity to explore yoga regardless of perceived physical limitations.
As a #plussizeyogi myself who has shoulder, back and knee issues I always teach from a place of mental and physical safety with those concerns taken into account. I pass along the knowledge I've learned from my personal yoga practice and years of adapting poses to fit my body.

I made a proposal for supporting variables in XForms http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/wiki/Variables_in_XPath#Proposal_.282011-12.29 The proposal just adds variables as child of action and everywhere else in the document except in the model. I know that there are use cases for defining variables in the model (either explicitly or implicitly by defining binds), but scoping and update/dependency rules will become probably quite complicated. I see variables defined in the model as global variables and so my proposal only defines local variables. A lot of use cases are solved by only supporting local variables, that's why I want to propose to only standardize those for now.

UFLOOR Systems Inc. announced today that they will begin to manufacture and sell a new 1 Gallon size of UZIN PE 260 Substrate Primer in their new environmentally responsible CUBE it Simple packaging. This new package design features a recyclable inner plastic bladder designed to reduce plastic waste up to 75% compared with conventional plastic jugs. The company also said that the outer kraft carton can be easily recycled with other cardboard waste. Because the inner bladder collapses while pouring, liquid products can be poured out quickly and easily without causing a mess from air escaping during the pouring process. The company also mentioned that the new packaging was still very rugged and easy to transport and due to its square shape, easy to stack and store. The CUBE it Simple Packaging program is part of the company's Less Energy, Less Waste, Less CO2 initiative and they stated they will continue to seek improvements in packaging that meet this same environmental goal.
Based in Aurora, CO, UFLOOR Systems Inc. is the North American subsidiary of Uzin-Utz AG, Ulm, Germany. The company was founded in 1911 and is a vertically integrated manufacturer of product systems designed for the preparation, installation, finishing and care of all types of floorcoverings.

International nod for motorcycle safety
New Zealand's work to make our roads motorcycle-friendly has been acknowledged by the international Prince Michael Road Safety Award.
The "Making Roads Motorcycle Friendly Guide" was recognised for its innovative approach to motorcycle safety at the 30th anniversary of the awards in London.
The Motorcycle Advisory Council (MSAC) developed the guide alongside the NZ Transport Agency and VicRoads Australia.
MSAC chair Mark Gilbert says he is proud of the Guide and what it has achieved.
"The guide provides practical advice to Road Controlling Authorities and roading contractors on improvements that could save motorcyclists' lives," he says.
"Along with the Transport Agency, we have used its approach to guide investment in upgrades to two of our most popular motorcycle routes – the Northern and Southern Coromandel Loop.
"These upgrades demonstrated how new design and safety interventions on existing roads could reduce risk and make the roads safer for motorcyclists.
"It helps the designers see things through the motorcyclist's lens."
The Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council is now working with the Transport Agency to roll-out the recommendations from the Guide to the rest of New Zealand.
"It is critical that all contractors take these new recommendations on board to make sure our roads are of a consistent standard for all motorcycle riders, limiting surprises with a focus on zero harm," says Gilbert.
The Prince Michael Road Safety Awards were established in 1987. The awards are an internationally recognised standard for excellence in road safety innovation.

A well known function of the
scanf() functions is that you can pass a format to scan input according to this format.
For my case, I cannot seem to find a solution searching this and this documentation.
I have a string (
sInput) as the following:
#something VAR1 this is a constant string //some comment
VAR1 is meant to be the name of the constant string
this is a constant.
Now I am scanning this string like this:
if(sscanf(sInput, "%*s %s %s", paramname, constantvalue) != 2)
//do something
And of course, when I output
paramname and
constantvalue I get:
But I would like to have
constantvalue to contain the string until two consecutive spaces are found (so it would contain the part
this is a constant string).
So therefore I tried:
sscanf(sInput, "%*s %s %[^( )]s", paramname, constantvalue)
sscanf(sInput, "%*s %s %[^ ]s", paramname, constantvalue)
But without luck. Is there a way to achieve my goal with
sscanf()? Or should I implement another way of storing the string?

Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly expand heart failure program for Jardiance® with new exercise capacity trials
Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly expand heart failure program for Jardiance® with new exercise capacity trials
EMPERIAL clinical trials will evaluate the effect of Jardiance (empagliflozin) on exercise ability and heart failure symptoms in people with chronic heart failure
EMPERIAL is part of the most comprehensive clinical trial program of an SGLT2 inhibitor in chronic heart failure
RIDGEFIELD, Conn. and INDIANAPOLIS, March 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced plans to expand their clinical trial program for Jardiance(®) in chronic heart failure with the EMPERIAL clinical trials. These trials will evaluate the effect of Jardiance on exercise ability and heart failure symptoms in people with chronic heart failure independent of whether they have type 2 diabetes. EMPERIAL comprises two Phase III trials that will assess the effect of 12 weeks of treatment with Jardiance on the ability of people with heart failure to perform daily exercise.
The plans for the EMPERIAL trials follow initiation of the EMPEROR trials in March 2017. While the EMPEROR outcome trials focus on long-term morbidity and mortality outcomes in people with heart failure, the EMPERIAL functional trials will investigate possible benefits on exercise capacity and heart failure symptoms. These studies are based on data obtained from the landmark EMPA-REG OUTCOME(®) trial, where the effect of Jardiance on heart failure outcomes was evaluated.
"Symptoms of heart failure can have a profound effect on quality of life, with more than three-quarters of people with heart failure finding it difficult to carry out routine activities," said Jeff Emmick, M.D., Ph.D., vice president, Product Development, Lilly Diabetes. "Currently, there are limited treatment options that can help improve the everyday lives of people living with chronic heart failure. We look forward to seeing whether Jardiance can help address this unmet need."
Heart failure is a serious condition where the heart is unable to pump enough blood around the body. It affects 26 million people worldwide, including more than 6 million Americans, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Approximately 50 percent of people who develop heart failure die within five years, and it is a leading cause of hospitalization in the United States and Europe.
"Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly are committed to exploring how Jardiance can improve patient health outcomes and fill treatment gaps to serve as a broad cardiometabolic treatment option," said Thomas Seck, M.D., vice president of Clinical Development and Medical Affairs - Primary Care, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. "We were encouraged by the heart failure findings with Jardiance in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial and look forward to the additional data from our other ongoing trials."
About EMPERIAL
EMPERIAL consists of two Phase III randomized, double-blind trials. The trials evaluate the effect of 12 weeks' treatment of once-daily Jardiance 10 mg compared with placebo on exercise ability and heart failure symptoms in patients with chronic heart failure with preserved or reduced ejection fraction.* This will be measured by the 6-minute walk test, a common measure of functional exercise capacity.
-- EMPERIAL-preserved [NCT03448406]: will investigate Jardiance in patients with chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The study looks at a functional endpoint -- how far patients can walk in 6 minutes -- and at heart failure symptoms. -- Primary endpoint: Change from baseline to week 12 in exercise capacity as measured by the distance walked in 6 minutes -- Anticipated number of patients: approx. 300 -- Estimated completion: 2019
-- EMPERIAL-reduced [NCT03448419]: will investigate Jardiance in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The study looks at a functional endpoint -- how far patients can walk in 6 minutes -- and at heart failure symptoms.-- Primary endpoint: Change from baseline to week 12 in exercise capacity as measured by the distance walked in 6 minutes -- Anticipated number of patients: approx. 300 -- Estimated completion: 2019
*Ejection fraction is a measurement of the percentage of blood leaving the heart each time it contracts. During each heartbeat pumping cycle, the heart contracts and relaxes. When the heart contracts, it ejects blood from the two pumping chambers (ventricles). When the heart relaxes, the ventricles refill with blood.
HFpEF occurs when the heart muscle contracts normally but the ventricle muscles are stiff. They do not relax as they should when the ventricle fills with blood, so less blood can enter the heart compared to a normally functioning heart.
HFrEF occurs when the heart muscle does not contract effectively and less blood is pumped out to the body compared to a normally functioning heart.
Both HFpEF and HFrEF lead to similar symptoms of heart failure, specifically difficulty breathing, swelling and fatigue.
About Heart Failure
Heart failure is a progressive, debilitating and potentially fatal condition that occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood around the body. Symptoms of heart failure include difficulty breathing, swelling -- most commonly in feet, legs and ankles -- and fatigue, among others. Heart failure is a prevalent disease; 26 million people around the world and more than 6 million people in the United States have chronic heart failure. There is a high unmet need in the treatment of heart failure, as approximately 50 percent of people diagnosed with heart failure will die within five years. Additionally, heart failure represents the most common cause of hospitalization among individuals aged 65 years and over in the United States and Europe. Heart failure is highly prevalent in people with diabetes, but approximately half of all people with heart failure do not have diabetes.
What is JARDIANCE? (www.jardiance.com)
JARDIANCE is a prescription medicine used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes.
JARDIANCE is also used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes who have known cardiovascular disease.
JARDIANCE is not for people with type 1 diabetes or for people with diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine).
What is the most important information I should know about JARDIANCE?
JARDIANCE can cause serious side effects, including:
-- Dehydration. JARDIANCE can cause some people to have dehydration (the loss of body water and salt). Dehydration may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, light-headed, or weak, especially when you stand up. You may be at a higher risk of dehydration if you: -- have low blood pressure -- take medicines to lower your blood pressure including water pills (diuretics) -- are on a low salt diet -- have kidney problems -- are 65 years of age or older.
-- Ketoacidosis (increased ketones in your blood or urine). Ketoacidosis is a serious condition and may need to be treated in the hospital. Ketoacidosis may lead to death. Ketoacidosis occurs in people with type 1 diabetes and can also occur in people with type 2 diabetes taking JARDIANCE, even if blood sugar is less than 250 mg/dL. Stop taking JARDIANCE and call your doctor right away if you get any of the following symptoms, and if possible, check for ketones in your urine: -- nausea -- vomiting -- stomach-area (abdominal) pain -- tiredness -- trouble breathing
-- Serious urinary tract infections. Serious urinary tract infections can occur in people taking JARDIANCE and may lead to hospitalization. Tell your doctor if you have symptoms of a urinary tract infection such as a burning feeling when passing urine, a need to urinate often or right away, pain in the lower part of your stomach or pelvis, or blood in the urine. Sometimes people also may have a fever, back pain, nausea or vomiting.
-- Vaginal yeast infection. Women who take JARDIANCE may get vaginal yeast infections. Talk to your doctor if you experience vaginal odor, white or yellowish vaginal discharge (discharge may be lumpy or look like cottage cheese), and/or vaginal itching.
-- Yeast infection of the penis. Men who take JARDIANCE may get a yeast infection of the skin around the penis, especially uncircumcised males and those with chronic infections. Talk to your doctor if you experience redness, itching or swelling of the penis, rash of the penis, foul smelling discharge from the penis, and /or pain in the skin around penis.
Who should not take JARDIANCE?
Do not take JARDIANCE if you are allergic to empagliflozin or any of the ingredients in JARDIANCE.
Do not take JARDIANCE if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis.
What should I tell my doctor before using JARDIANCE?
Tell your doctor if you:
-- have kidney problems. Your doctor may do blood tests to check your kidneys before and during your treatment with JARDIANCE -- have liver problems -- have a history of urinary tract infections or problems with urination -- are going to have surgery -- are eating less due to illness, surgery, or a change in your diet -- have or have had problems with your pancreas, including pancreatitis or surgery on your pancreas -- drink alcohol very often, or drink a lot of alcohol in the short term ("binge" drinking) -- have any other medical conditions -- are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. JARDIANCE may harm your unborn baby. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment with JARDIANCE. -- are breastfeeding, or plan to breastfeed. JARDIANCE may pass into your breast milk and may harm your baby. Do not breastfeed while taking JARDIANCE.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Especially tell your doctor if you take water pills (diuretics) or medicines that can lower your blood sugar such as insulin.
What are other possible side effects of JARDIANCE?
-- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): If you take JARDIANCE with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as sulfonylurea or insulin, your risk of low blood sugar is higher. The dose of your sulfonylurea or insulin may need to be lowered. Symptoms of low blood sugar may include: -- Headache -- Drowsiness -- Weakness -- Dizziness -- Confusion -- Irritability -- Hunger -- Fast heartbeat -- Sweating -- Shaking or feeling jittery
-- Kidney problems. Sudden kidney injury has happened in people taking JARDIANCE. Talk to your doctor right away if you reduce the amount you eat or drink, or if you lose liquids; for example, from vomiting, diarrhea, or being in the sun too long.
-- Allergic (hypersensitivity) reactions. Symptoms of serious allergic reactions to JARDIANCE may include: -- swelling of your face, lips, throat and other areas of your skin -- difficulty with swallowing or breathing -- raised, red areas on your skin (hives)
If you have any of these symptoms, stop taking JARDIANCE and contact your doctor or go to the nearest emergency room right away.
-- Increased fats in your blood (cholesterol).
The most common side effects of JARDIANCE include urinary tract infections, and yeast infections in females.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

The Paradise Tour
One of my favorite music artists, that I have really gotten in to this past summer is; Cody Simpson. I attended the Paradise tour this summer which featured Before You Exit, Ryan Beatty, and of course, Cody Simpson himself. I originally went to see Ryan Beatty because I have been a long-time fan of his and still am. I want to say that The Paradise Tour was an amazing experience. Before You Exit, an upcoming boy band who are actually three brothers (sound familiar?), were full of energy and were an amazing opening act.
Ryan Beatty was ofcourse amazing as always and the crowd definitely loved him and his Ed Sheeran covers. When it came to Cody's countdown to his premiere, the crowd went crazy! I've known who Cody Simpson was but never really listened carefully to him before. After Cody performed I immediately fell in love with his music. Cody has recently released a new album, Surfers Paradise, which is full of songs perfect for summertime. I know that fall is creeping up fast and is practically already here but I strongly suggest you go invest in Surfers Paradise because you won't regret it! This album's name is a perfect match for the type of style music in the album. Many of the songs have a mellow vibe to them and even the more upbeat songs still portray what summer should be like. The songs on this album, especially "La Di Dee" and 'Summertime of Our Lives", have definitely been on my replay list. I don't think I will I ever get tired of this album! You could say I am definitely a simpsonizer now. Keep up the good work Cody! 275

Ex-pastor charged with stealing $100K from church
A former Greenfield pastor has been charged in connection with the theft of more than $100,000 from a Madison Township church.
The Highland County Sheriff's Office reported that James A. Blaine, 61, now of San Antonio, Texas, was arrested Tuesday on a third-degree felony theft charge tied to a case involving the Good Shepherd Church in Madison Township.
The charge was the result of a seven-month investigation by Highland County detectives into allegations that Blaine stole money from the church by forging names and documents that were then submitted to financial institutions.
In this way, Blaine is accused of receiving money in the name of the church and putting it to his own personal use between 2004 and 2009, authorities said.
The arrest was made in Hamilton County by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office Fugitive/Warrant Squad at a bankruptcy hearing Blaine had initiated.
Blaine was taken to the Highland County Justice Center on a $100,000 bond pending an arraignment appearance in Hillsboro Municipal Court.
The case also has been presented to the Highland County Prosecutor's Office for presentation to an upcoming session of the Highland County grand jury, where additional felony charges are likely.

Posted: September 10th, 2015 | By: Lisa Snedeker
North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Martin has announced the full membership of the newly created North Carolina Commission on the Administration of Law and Justice (NCCALJ).
The commission membership is comprised of key stakeholders within the justice system as well as leaders in the private and public sectors. See the full list of members. The multidisciplinary commission will undertake a comprehensive evaluation of our state's justice system and make recommendations for strengthening our courts within the existing administrative framework.
"These respected and innovative leaders will provide the direction necessary in this era of change, ensuring that the justice system works for all," Chief Justice Martin said. "They bring with them decades of experience in the state and federal judiciaries, business and nonprofit communities, legal education, and private practice."
Chief Justice Martin previously announced the appointment of the commission co-chairs (see left), who will focus on five areas of inquiry: civil justice, criminal investigation and adjudication, legal professionalism, public trust and confidence, and technology.
Brad Wilson (JD '78) is co-chair for the public trust and confidence committee of the commission and will work with Dean Suzanne Reynolds (JD '77) among others. Catharine Arrowood (BA '73, JD '76) is a co-chair for the legal professionalism committee. Rowan County Chief Resident Superior Court Judge Anna Mills Wagoner (JD '85) is also serving on the commission, and Mike Mitchell (JD '89) will serve on the Civil Justice Committee.
Chief Justice Martin has also invited participation from the General Assembly. The commission's work will provide a basis for discussion with the General Assembly to help ensure North Carolina's Judicial Branch meets the needs of our citizens and their expectations for a modern court system. The commission will finalize its findings and recommendations in a series of reports that will be presented to the Chief Justice and made available to the public in early 2017.
Attorney Will Robinson will serve as executive director of the commission, which has its first meeting scheduled for Sept. 30, according to the website.

I'm getting prepared for my role as Janet's nurse while she recovers from surgery. All I can do at this point is continue cleaning the house. The doctors keep stressing how important it is to avoid an infection. Our house is hardly a clean zone, but it's probably better than the hospital itself. Most people who get infections get them while they are actually in the hospital. Today I scrubbed the shower stall. I learned that soap scum is really hard to remove completely. It seems to get hard as enamel over time. Everything looks a lot better now, although it would have been better to just re-tile the entire bathroom.
Dash seems to be adjusting to our smaller family. He's starting to take normal walks again and now that Dot's exotic food is gone, he's stopped being a picky eater. I'm sure he's still lonely at times, but so am I. The best thing either of us can do is just continue living each day as normally as possible.
Today was certainly normal. It didn't seem like a birthday at all. If it weren't for all the birthday messages on Facebook, I might have forgotten that I am sixty-nine years old. A lot of things about Facebook still irritate me, but I kind of like these birthday messages. It's nice to know that people haven't completely forgotten about you.
We had a little birthday celebration after dinner tonight. Dash and I had a cupcake and Janet had some pineapple slices. Janet's new diet seems remarkably similar to what I was eating while I was being treated for Hepatitis C. Doctors emphasize eating healthy almost as much as they emphasize avoiding infections. I lost a lot of weight while I was avoiding sugar like the plague. I had to give up bread as well, because it almost immediately converts to glucose in your body. I maintained the spartan diet for over two years, but I'm eating pancakes and desserts again. I'm still not sure whether cutting out sugar actually made me any healthier.
You'd think that each additional year would make me a little wiser, but I'm not feeling very wise tonight. I'm humbled by how much there is that I still don't know. I guess the goal now is to keep learning more than I forget. It's going to be an uphill battle because my mind is like a sieve. There are hundreds of books that line the walls of my office and I've already forgotten what's inside most of them. I guess I could re-read everything, but I probably won't. I'll definitely keep writing though. Reading is good, but writing is even better.

I agree Curt. One extra thought to keep in mind is that my understanding is that the Judge has hinted that the Government will keep her as the judge if the case is filed as a criminal case (she will not lose her jurisdiction over the case) so the Government is going to have to think long and hard about that one.
