Natural Remedies For Sickle Cell
Get support for sickle cell anemia by focusing on your unique nutritional needs. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may help you manage this kind of chronic anemia:
What You Need To Know:
• Fight back with fish oil
Reduce the frequency of severe pain episodes by taking a daily fish oil supplement providing 33 mg of EPA and 23 mg of DHA for every 2.2 pounds of body weight
• Think zinc
Under the supervision of a doctor, take a daily supplement of 100 mg of zinc, plus 2 mg of copper, to help prevent cell damage and speed healing of leg ulcers associated with sickle cell anemia
• Fill up on fluids
Drink plenty of water and other fluids to maintain good circulation
• Take a test
Have your blood homocysteine levels checked to find out if daily folic acid supplements of 1 to 4 mg are right for you, or to discover if you have a vitamin B12 deficiency that requires treatment
These recommendations are not comprehensive and are not intended to replace the advice of your doctor or pharmacist. Continue reading the full sickle cell anemia article for more in-depth, fully-referenced information on medicines, vitamins, herbs, and dietary and lifestyle changes that may be helpful.

This week the Brigade is rolling out a brand new model of fire engine for the first time in a decade. The new engine includes a high pressure hose which can deliver twice as much water than the previous model and a more ergonomic crew cab.
The first appliance responding to 999 calls will be at Leytonstone fire station, with a new vehicle being rolled out to stations across London over the coming months.
The new model specifications include:
London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton said: "I'm really pleased we can now introduce this new model of fire engine which will meet the demands of a modern firefighter and keep them safe.
"Firefighters have had a big say in the design and development of the new vehicle, after all they are the ones who will be using them day in and day out to respond to everything from house fires, road traffic accidents and flooding.
"We're always looking at ways to improve our service. Ensuring our new pumping appliances are equipped with the latest technology and design features, will enable us to be even more efficient when responding to an emergency."
Emergency One (UK) Limited were subcontracted to build the new vehicles by Babcock International Group PLC who are responsible, under a twenty one year contract, for London Fire Brigade fleet maintenance and repair.
Sam White, Managing Director of Babcock International Group's Critical Services business, said: "This significant move to modernise fire appliances for London has been something we have been proud to support and has resulted in a model that is both technically advanced and better equips the needs of today's firefighter."
Crews will undergo a period of familiarisation before they use the new vehicle to respond to incidents. The new appliance will also be used to do home fire safety visits, attend community safety events and travel to specialist training exercises.
As a result fire crews could spend a couple of hours sat in the cab. With this in mind, the seating area in this newly designed engine has been built with extra space and crew comfort.
Bulky equipment - like the breathing apparatus sets, that would normally be stored behind their seats - is now being stowed in the back of the vehicle body.
The new fire engines carry 304 items on board.
As well as the traditional firefighter equipment such as axes, hosereels, ladders, and a bucket; the kit on the new appliances includes: a braille identification card, portable electronic tablet with newly improved sophisticated mapping software, eye wash, a loudhailer, oxygen masks, road traffic accident cutting equipment, a seat belt cutter and traffic cones.

"QT returns to start a blog! But what is a blog? Is it (1) short for 'bologna,' which is what is usually found in a blog or (2) a shortened form of our most recently imprisoned Illinois ex-governor's name?"
It is neither.

It may be one of the half-dozen ugliest words in the English language.
Onomatopoeically speaking.
QT refuses to call itself a blog.
Are there any ideas out there as to what QT should call itself?

From Bangalore, India:
My nephew was diagnosed with diabetes in October 2014 and was prescribed insulin, which he was taking three times a day. In August 2015, he experienced hypoglycemia and insulin was stopped. After three days, his sugar level shot up to 500 mg/dl [27.8 mmol/L] so he was given insulin. His sugar dropped to 20 mg/dl [1.1 mmol/L], after which his insulin was stopped. He then was given tablets which did not help. Every third day, he goes into hypoglycemia in the evening for two days then his sugar shoots up to 400 to 500 mg/dl [22.2 to 27.8 mol/L] with or without medicine. We have done nearly all tests, including DOTA scans, MRI, and MODY test without any conclusive results. What are your thoughts?
It sounds like a lot of expensive testing without much rationale. The most common cause of such recurrent hypoglycemia would be insulin unbalanced with food and activity - especially if using the older NPH basal insulins rather than the newer glargine or detemir basal insulins. This occurs because of the peak effects of NPH. Balancing food, consistency of timing of food, and carbohydrate counting all can help balance the insulin effects based on frequent blood glucose monitoring - and this helps make adjustments especially for activity changes and avoids such hypoglycemia. Please discuss these areas with your diabetes team since the dose of insulin likely needs to be changed/reduced but not stopped.

-TITLE Don't cut it off
-DIRECTOR Andrei Curta
-SCREENPLAY Andrei Curta
-EDITING Andrei Curta
-MUSIC BY Andrei Curta
-SYNOPSIS: Sign out. A short mute story about the first "sign-out" phenomenon, about something like the begining of the world, presented in a "think out of the box" and illogical manner. Because i think art is also meant to show people illogical things, targeting a higher logic, a metaphysical logic perhaps, maybe even in a mathematical manner, with no limits!
A flash movie, with a steady monochrome background, dealing with transformation and transcendence (in a world where things get changed by them selves, we should use change as a way of doing things).
It is also a film made from a static picture, anthropomorphous, animal and plant figures, that can move around the picture, and rebild the picture.

I knew that these five week rotations would go fast but I did not realize just how fast until I looked back a few days ago and I always already done with my first rotation.
To say I learned a lot on from Dr.Regal, Charles in charge, and the members of the Medicine Dock team would be an understatement. Most of my learning came on the fly during rounds. Once my team members became comfortable with me and confident in my pharmaceutical knowledge they would ask me questions about almost every patient. Most of the time I would reply with my favorite phrase, "let me look into that and get back to you" and then do some research of my own, as well as discuss the topic with Dr.Regal, in order to come up with the best recommendation. However sometimes thanks to the knowledge I acquired from therapeutics and the confidence I gained from this rotation I was able to make a recommendation on the spot. Most of the recommendations I made involved antibiotics (dosing, optimization, duration, and toxicity), anticoag(warfarin dosing, Lovenox bridging, and the occasional Dabigatran), and optimizing chronic therapies.
The therapeutic and medical knowledge I acquired is very important, but maybe more importantly I learned confidence and how to operate with the medical team. It took some time for me to understand how rounds work and how to best contribute but once I did I was able to participate in my own active learning even more.
The most valuable advice I can give to students getting ready for their clinical rotations would be to pay attention to every patient on rounds, learn from the discussion the team may be having even if you may not be responsible for that patient, look up everything you aren't sure about, and to work with your team. We have all heard this before during orientation but it is most definitely true.
One of the most difficult parts of having a clinical rotation first was my unfamiliarity with much of the medical terminology, but by writing everything down and looking it up later I was able to learn more than I thought.
It wasn't all work however. Many of you might not know this but Dr.Regal is quite the wordsmith and poet. He shared with us 2 poems he wrote about protecting fluoroquinolones (one of his favorite past times) and ending levofairs and ciproflections. I will try to get copies of these so I can share them with the world.
Before I finish today I would also like to give you a quick intro to my next rotation. I started this past Monday at Karmanos Cancer Center located in the Detroit Medical District. This is an ambulatory care rotation focused on bone marrow transplant. I am excited for this rotation since I have an interest in oncology/hematology. My preceptor is Dr. Simon Cronin, the former preceptor of our very own Dr. David Frame, which makes me semi nervous.
So far in my first week I am getting accustomed to the work flow. I spend most of my day doing med recs, some patient education, and have opportunities to shadow Simon as he works. The clinic has approximately 2 MDs, 4 NPs, Simon. The 2 Wayne State students I am partnered with and myself play an important role in searching out drug therapy issues and bringing them to the attention of the other clinicians.
I will update you on how this rotation goes in a few weeks.

The United Nations
One of the purposes of the United Nations, as stated in its Charter, is "to achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural or humanitarian character". The organisation is relied upon, by the international community, to coordinate humanitarian relief operations due to natural and man-made disasters.
Non-governmental organisations provide assistance to populations in distress, victims of natural or man-made disasters and victims of armed conflicts. The organisations do so irrespective of race, religion or political convictions. NGOs observe neutrality and impartiality and the rights to humanitarian assistance throughout the world and in very difficult environments.
Charity organisations
A charity organisation is a type of non-profit organisation (NPO). Thousands of these organisations donate not only money, but also their time, to assist those in need and give people hope to move on. They serve vulnerable communities in dignified ways by responding to their humanitarian and development needs.
Many of the leading governments of this world work hard to end extreme global poverty and enable resilient, democratic societies to realise their potential. Health ministries work hard to assist the population of their country in health-related matters, such as fighting the HIV, malaria, dengue, malnutrition and other serious issues.

Looks like our favorite giant headed villain is getting his own mini-series for the Secret Wars saga. M.O.D.O.K. (wow that's annoying to continuously type out) runs a world called Killville, and it's where he gets his thrills. Christ Yost had the following to say:
"The fun here is showing how M.O.D.O.K. stands out against some of the worst that the Marvel Universe has to offer, "It's good to be bad' is kind of the mission statement here. Can M.O.D.O.K. grow past his design? Would anyone want him to? Those are some big lofty theme-y questions, but let's be clear…you're going to see M.O.D.O.K. kill a bunch of people."

It is important for diabetic pets to get proper nutrition. However, sometimes they won't eat or won't eat as much as they need. That condition is referred to as inappetance. This article explores some of the reasons why inappetance happens and what a caretaker can do to deal with the situation.
However, a properly regulated diabetic cats should NOT suffer from inappetance. If your feline is not eating what they should then further investigation into this is highly warranted. There are many other associated diseases that may account for inappetance in a properly regulated feline. If your feline is inappetante yet properly regulated for diabetes, please see your veterinarian for more investigation.
It is important to regulation and to general health that a diabetic pet eat a consistent, balanced diet. Because the dosage and timing of insulin shots often is based on the amount and timing of feeding, you should consider the effect of inappetance on your pet's insulin needs. A lack of feeding may cause hypoglycemia or rebound on an otherwise "safe" dose of insulin. It also may lead to ketoacidosis and fatty liver.
Keep in mind that even if your pet is not eating, his or her body still requires some insulin; this need does not disappear because your pet doesn't eat. About a third to one-half the usual dose is a usual fasting dose. (See the discussion at "Getting regulated--diabetes" at the link below[1]. The advice regarding the need for a reduced insulin dose holds true for dogs as well.)
See also the article on fasting, which is the act of purposefully withholding food and, in some cases fluids, from a pet for a period of time.
Is my cat inappetant?Edit
If your cat is obviously inappetant then the answer to this is clear. However if you suspect your cat is inappetant weighing daily with a scale that can resolute to the gram and is accurate and linear to +/- 1 gram might be suggested. Investment in a scale of this kind can also help you in the long term management of this condition. Affordable examples of this type of scale are the MyWeigh KD-8000 [1] and MK-12K [2] for heavier cats.
Reasons for inappetanceEdit
Maybe nothing is wrongEdit
Sometimes, a temporary bout of inappetance means nothing; the pet just happens not to be hungry. A single missed meal without a history of inappetance should not cause concern that there is an underlying problem. However, you should investigate and address inappetance that continues for more than 12 hours. Over 24 hours with no food, especially for an overweight cat, is a medical emergency as it can quickly lead to fatty liver.
New food? New formulation? Food consistency problems?Edit
Many pets do not automatically accept new foods. If you are switching to a new food, like a low-carb diet, you may need to introduce the new food slowly by mixing the new food with the old food in increasing proportions over time. The article link below[2] discusses how to transition dry-eating cats to canned food.
Some pet food manufacturers change ingredients in their foods without specific notice on the labels. If your pet is refusing a food that it previously has eaten well, you should check for ingredient changes.
Further, some pet food manufacturers have problems with consistency in the production of their products, even though they have not changed ingredients. Is there a change in the appearance or smell of the food? Check the batch numbers on the cans and go back to a can with a batch number that your pet previously has eaten. This may give you a clue whether the inappetance is caused by an unintended change in the food.
Medical problem brewing? Upset stomach?Edit
Animals often become inappetant when they do not feel well. Nausea is a symptom of many other conditions, and will often lead to lack of appetite. (Nausea in cats may be indicated by frequent lip-licking or smacking). Your pet may be brewing a urinary tract infection. If your pet is eating little and favoring one side of its mouth (or pawing at its mouth), it may need to be seen by its vet to determine whether there is a dental infection or other problem.
Some animals have medical conditions, such as pancreatitis, that cause digestive problems and the animal does not eat well because it is nauseated or has diarrhea. Is your pet vomiting (with cats, from other than hair balls)? Have you noticed problems with your pet's stool? It might be time for a vet visit.
Some medications for other conditions, such as antibiotics, can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Treatments for inappetanceEdit
Before you medicateEdit
Before you medicate for inappetance it is very important to understand why your cat is inappetant. This is a highly critical clinical sign cats exhibit when something is not right with them. If possible, it is important that you try to discover the root of the inappetance first before treating the inappetance itself. There may be other conditions the cat may be suffering from such as periodontal disease (tooth problems), UTI, IBD, Pancreatitis, Cancer and many, many others that the owner may overlook by just treating the inappetance. The treatment of these other underlying condition[s] may elevate the necessity to medically treat for inappetance.
Medications and supplementsEdit
If your pet's inappetance is caused by a course of antibiotics, consider adding a probiotic like Culturelle[3], which is available at vitamin stores, to the animal's food to minimize diarrhea. Nausea and vomiting caused by antibiotics also can be treated with Pepcid AC--plain famotidine, not the Pepcid Complete (1/8 to 1/4 of a 10mg tab for cats 30 to 45 minutes before meals)[4].
Common Appetite Stimulant Drugs-Cats
|Periactin (cyproheptadine)[5][6][7]
|Remeron (mirtazapine)[8][9]
|Valium (diazepam)[10][11][12]
|Winstrol (Stanozolol)[13][14][15], an anabolic steroid[16]
|Serax (Oxazepam)[17][18][19]
Common Appetite Stimulant Drugs-General
|Valium (diazepam)[20][21][22]
Some drugs shown at these Merck Veterinary Manual links[24][25] are not appropriate for all species; some are also not appropriate for pets with diabetes.
Need information on other medications/supplements that caregivers use for nausea/diarrhea (slippery elm?) and to enhance appetite.
Intelligence and simplciity - easy to understand how you think.
Finger and syringe feedingEdit
Depending on the animal's condition and level of inappetance, some caregivers resort to finger or syringe feeding. Finger feeding involves placing wet food on your fingers and letting the pet lick it off. Gorbzilla.com[26] has information about syringe feeding.

Every reader or writer goes through that phase where you wonder what can you bring forth. This phase was what I went through in the last couple of days/months.
It wasn't that there was nothing to write about….it was just that I did not know how to write about all of it.
I still don't.
There is too much data….and too less words to bind it !
To summarize…..what I feel these days is excitement and nervousness.
I have landed my first ever job at the age of 24……quite a long wait, I know !……and the job at a place and industry I used to dream of. It gives me confidence and at the same time jitters of whether I'll be able to live up to my own and other's expectations.
In all this fusion of emotions, I just remembered what my Mom said on the morning of the grateful day – "Don't think of what will happen, Don't go there to prove something, Give your best and put your soul into it, Do it for yourself……If it is the right thing for you, it will come to you despite all odds." These were the words I was remembering when my name was announced as selected. I couldn't believe that the moment when I raised myself above all expectations and competition….I got what I really wanted.
Today…..she said the same thing to me when I am taking the big step into that world. She told me to not be a competitor, but someone above and beyond it.
Her words prompted me to revisit this blog and share it with you all.
I know, a lot of you might think of it as highly idealistic statement, but my Dear Friends…..it's easy to be like others, but the difficult path carries better lessons and experiences and you never know – better results! (Mom's words again!)
So I owe my restart of this Blog to her…..and I hope I can bring a new life to this

Hello folks, how are you today? Today, I am with you a brand new post. I am going to share my personal experience with "American Logistics" mail forwarding system. It was a worthy mail forwarding system for me. At the beginning of my business, I found it difficult to purchase products from United States Websites.
At that time, one of my friend introduced me with "American logistics and Distribution Inc." to purchase different products from any American websites and get them deliver to local address. The company offered the best price on international delivery.
American Logistics have the mail forwarding services to countries all over the world. I rent a US mailbox from them to receive correspondence or packages. This service was included letters, credit card statements, bank statements, magazines, packages, and more.
My mail and parcels was arrived at my secure storage facility. My mail was opened and scanned into online account. I was received a notifications to log in to read it in PDF format. Then I forwarded the original documents to an address desired location in the world.
How was I benefited from that company?
- Had option to buy items from any retailer in the USA.
- I had option to choose products with the ability to buy any item from any retailer in the USA.
- I purchased products and sold them in my own country.
- It helped me to ship the products directly to the address of my customer.
- With the help of this company, I opened a virtual logistics and shipping center in the U.S.
- There was lots of savings in the international delivery.
- I had option to reduce shipping costs by combining orders into one delivery.
- I had ware house facility to store items for up to 45 days.
- I had created a virtual presence in the United States.
My best experience with "American Logistics" was getting a notification. It helped me to read the PDF format. At that time, I forwarded it to the address. There were several carrier options available for me include UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL. I tried DHL. Awesome experience was that.
This company helped me a lot to forward and handle services, operating in a virtual business presence in the US, managing a US bank account, opening a US credit card and/or receiving items that were not available in my home country.
That was my nice experience with "American Logistics". So if you find difficult to forward your mail and parcel from any American Retail store, you can use their service. So don't waste your time here and use their service.

While on my Work Placement at a P-12 college, I noticed that most 'handout' and booklet material had included some attribution to the creator. I decided to go back and have a closer look at Creative Commons and learn how to do that on my own work. So . . . I now have the symbols on the home page of my blog site and plan to use it on any future work I create. Will discuss this concept with colleagues at our face-to-face TL Network meeting this Thursday and add a similar widget to the TLsConnecting Blog.
Having gone into my 'Dashboard' to add a Creative Commons licence to my right sidebar (long overdue), I also noticed that the last 6 blog posts have been completed through my social book-marking connections. Namely – Scoopit and Pinterest. Both active and visually appealing places where I have RSS feeds finding me links based on topics I've chosen. Every other day I check the links that have been collected together for me and check out the ones I believe warrant closer inspection and then save some of the links and images to my own sites (boards and topics). Adding the link to my blog site was made easy earlier this year when Scoopit added a 'pop-up' that allowed me to send out a tweet about my find and/or place it directly onto my blog site. I like the idea – seems an efficient and effective way of saving and sharing the things I've found. What these links do lack (since they are placed quickly) is the categorisation and tagging I usually give to my posts. I need to check in and do that 'little thing' – to include them in my 'searching system' – as an item within my collection, each is desperately in need of 'description' – so I can later find them through their access points! So, the concepts I'm learning in ETL505 I am able to apply to my own digital collection. Wow, I feel like I am bringing it all together?!*

HP inkjet technology is really pretty amazing. If you take a close look at how HP (also known as Hewlett Packard) inkjet cartridges work, you will see how innovative this company really is. Ink droplets are jetted out of tiny holes in the bottom of the cartridge (called print-heads), at a speed of around 30 mph. And the frequency that they are jetted? According to HP, more than 25,000 times per second! These print heads get electrical signals from the printer about how much ink droplets to jet, and at what specific part of the page.
The print heads are usually on the cartridge itself for most of the HP inkjet cartridges, but on some HP inkjet printers, the printheads are actually in the HP printer itself, separate from the printer ink cartridges. HP replacement cartridges are available from vendors such as Atlantic Inkjet who sells original HP ink, and also remanufactured HP ink, and also sells HP ink refills (used by refillers who refill their cartridges).

New mum beaten up by partner for showing off new baby to friends
A new mother was beaten up by her baby's dad for proudly showing off the newborn to her friends before his family.
Jealous Anthony Davies, 33, attacked his girlfriend just two days after she gave birth to their baby.
He pushed her over and dragged her around their house in an attack as their baby slept in a Moses basket.
Swansea Crown Court was told the stitches she had from the birth had burst during the attack.
Davies was said to be "frustrated" her friends visited the newborn ahead of his brothers.
Judge Huw Davies told him: "You acted in a wholly unacceptable way. This was a frightening experience for your partner."
Davies, of Pontarddulais, admitted battery. He was sentenced to a 12 month community order.
Burglars who raided Garry Monk's house jailed
Two men have been sent to prison for a total of 10 years following a police investigation into a series of house burglaries across Swansea and Neath.
Ben Llewellyn, aged 28, and James Green, who is 34, are both from Morriston.
Detectives initially arrested the pair for a burglary in Alltwen after they were disturbed by the lone female occupant of a house. They were then linked to the burglary at the home of Swansea City coach Garry Monk by officers who matched their footwear to forensic evidence at the scene.
Two women were also arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods – police discovered a photograph of one of them modelling a watch belonging to the partner of Garry Monk.
After Llewellyn and Green were remanded in custody they confessed to committing over 30 burglaries dating back to 2002.
Earlier this month Donna Williams, aged 33, from Brokesby Road in Bonymaen, admitted handling stolen goods from the burglary of Garry Monk's house, namely a £3,500 Chanel watch, which she bought for £20.
Detective Constable Chris Grey of Swansea CID said, "We have contacted all the victims of these crimes to inform them and in some cases we have been able to return substantial amounts of stolen property to them."
Waste firm fined £90k for worker's severed arm
An experienced worker had his right forearm pulled off by a conveyor belt as he was trying to clean it, a court heard today.
Stephen John, 57, of Baglan Moors, Port Talbot, was working for Neath Port Talbot Recycling Ltd in Swansea when the incident happened in 2011.
Swansea Crown Court fined the company a total of £90,000 and ordered it to pay £50,000 in costs in a prosecution brought by the Health and Safety Executive.
The court heard that Mr John was asked to clean a conveyor which had become blocked with a sticky black substance. The company did not have any safe system of work for completing this task, and experienced employees like Mr John had developed their own way of cleaning the conveyor belt roller.
To clean the rollers, one employee stood by the control switch, which is out of sight from the conveyor, and a second person inserted a bar and scraped the flack from the roller. He then inserted his arm to wipe away the flack.
On the day of the incident, Mr John inserted his arm and was wiping the flack away. He then passed the bar to a work colleague. The switch controller misinterpreted this as a signal and started the conveyor. Mr John's right forearm was trapped and amputated by the conveyor belt."

Defendant accused of telling 'lies' under cross examination
Today Ben De Vere Hope was accused by his co-defendant's defence barrister of being Aamir Siddiqi's killer and of telling "deliberate lies."John Charles Rees QC said that Mr Hope was constantly changing his story even from what he had told the jury just yesterday.
Mr Rees said: "When that terrible act was committed it was you that was standing in a pool of blood. Itwas you that got blood on his shoes. It was you who ran out and left a foot mark on the top step.
"Your shoes were got rid of because your shoes were standing in that blood and because you were hit by arterial spray.That is why you lied about the shoes and got rid if them isn't it?"Mr Hope answered "No" to each allegation.
Mr Rees put it to Mr Hope that in police interviews he asked "what happens to my hands?" and told police he thought "it would all be gone by now. What with washing, scrubbing nails. Cleaning surfaceswith bleach?"
'What was it?' Mr Rees asked ''what would all be gone?" Mr Hope said it was a "hypothetical question" and not an admission."You knew they'd check your fingernails that's why you scrubbed your nails after killing Aamir Siddiqi wasn't it?" Mr Rees asked. Mr Hope replied: "it wasn't, no."
Swansea Crown Court heard Mr Hope didn't tell the police he had bought a laptop because he didn't want them knowing he'd spent a large amount of money and didn't tell police he'd taken heroin and changed his clothes because of blood stains as he doesn't like to "broadcast" that he took heroin.
When asked why he hadn't told police he was in a "drug stupor" after taking heroin, Mr Hope replied: "I wasn't expecting to be charged with murder."
Mr Hope said in police interviews that when he saw the murder of Aamir Siddiqi on the news he knew what Jason Richards had been talking about when he said "I might have killed somebody."
Mr Rees said: "Why did you say he (Mr Richards) had repeatedly stabbed somebody in the first interview if he hadn't said that to you?" "I don't recall," Mr Hope replied.
Ben Hope denies murder of Aamir Siddiqi
The second defendant charged with the murder of Cardiff teenager Aamir Siddiqi and the attempted murder of his parents has denied having anything to do with the incident.
Asked by his defence barrister if he was 'involved in any way' in killing Aamir or attacking his parents, Ben Hope both times replied 'No, I wasn't.'
Mr Hope claimed the other defendant Jason Richards told him that he may have murdered someone. Mr Hope said: 'he said 'I might have killed somebody or words to that effect'.' His barrister asked 'did you believe him?' He replied 'no, he's a bit of a fantastist.' The trial continues.

When I mentioned an interest in leadership, one of the super-cool people I follow on Google+ recommended this book. He suggested it might be interesting because I the military is likely quite different than the game industry. (That's actually a fairly deep topic, something that I might write about in the future. Let's just say that there were two former military people at my last job, and they fit in just fine.)
Anyway, I ordered the book on Amazon and read it. I'll give it a review on here for those who are interested. As an aside, this is one of the first books I've read about leadership, so I'm judging it based on my personal experience rather than how it stacks up to other books.

A recent shopping error resulted and the effort to buy a bag of the small seedless oranges called "Cuties" that are available at this time of the year ended up with us accidentally bringing home tangerines.
Tangerines are OK, but these were not the seedless type, and have about 30 seeds each and the pulp tends to be stringy and chewy.
So we considered what else we might do. I got a bright idea and looked up Tangerine marmalade on the internet. After reviewing a few of the "easy" recipes and conferring with my wife, we adapted the following recipe from several that we found on the internet. The results were excellent. Obviously some of the work can be saved if you get the seedless type, and the recipe should easily adapt to any of the citrus fruits so long as you account for the differences in size. But with only two ingredients (citrus and sugar) and several pointers that I included from our experience this is an easy recipe should you be so inclined.
Citrus is plentiful in the stores now and if you end up with too much left over after the season's visitors have left, you can use the attached recipe as an approach to solve the problem without waste.
1 jelly jar (8 ounce) per 3 tangerines approximately
-- Tangerines
-- Sugar, Approximately 1/3 cup per tangerine, (see directions)
-- Approximately 1/2 ounce (volumetric) of peel slivers will be needed per tangerine
-- The white material on the inside of the peel, (and what might stick to the peeled segments), will cause bitterness in the marmalade. Trace amounts are not a problem but the bulk of this should be removed unless a degree of bitterness is desired.
-- If marmalade is slow to gel in the jars as it cools, invert the jars from time to time to keep the peel well distributed until cooling and gelling is complete.
## The peel ##
-- Wash tangerines. (soaking in a mild vinegar solution can be very effective in removing residues)
-- Remove peel from tangerines and select about half of the best of it for use.
-- Scrape the excess white material from the inside surface of the peel.
-- With a cutting board and sharp tipped knife slice the peel into fine slivers and then chop to about 1/4 inch length.
-- Measure 1/2 ounce (volumetric) per tangerine. (e.g. 1/2 cup for 8 tangerines)
## The segments ##
-- Carefully scrape any excess white material from the peeled tangerine.
-- Separate the segments and remove the white stringy material from the center.
-- Unless you have a seedless variety, remove seeds from sections. This can be easily done with a cutting board and sharp tipped knife. Place each segment on the board and with the knife cut away the white string along what was the central edge of the segment. The seeds can then be easily popped out with light pressure without losing a lot of juice. Some food mills may accomplish seed removal easily.
-- Place the segments in food processor, electric blender, or food mill, and reduce to a puree. Be sure to process sufficiently that the skins of the segments are thoroughly shredded
## Combining ##
-- Measure 1 cup of sugar per cup of puree.
-- Combine slivered and chopped peel with the puree and sugar in a large kettle, (The mixture may foam up while cooking.)
-- Place over moderate heat and bring slowly to a boil, stirring frequently.
-- Stir frequently at a gentle boil until the mixture sheets from a metal spoon, (About 35 minutes or more. The more it thickens the thicker the marmalade.)
-- Remove from heat.
-- Skim off foam and ladle immediately into hot jelly jars or canning jars.
-- Eliminate bubbles while filling to within 1/8 inch from top,
-- Screw cap on evenly and tightly,
-- Invert jar for a few seconds to distribute peel and stand jars upright to cool.
Cooking the marmalade imparts a lovely citrus aroma to the kitchen
(Well at least it should if you don't burn it )

text: Khadr, a former child soldier, is expected to serve another eight years of a forty year sentence [Reuters] A Canadian former child soldier being held in Guantanamo Bay will be allowed to return to Canada next year to complete an eight year prison sentence for killing a US soldier on an Afghan battlefield. Omar Khadr's sentence requires that he spend one more year at Guantanamo Bay before he can apply to be trasferred to Canada to serve out his sentence. "The American government agreed for Omar Khadr to return to Canada. We will implement the agreement between Omar Khadr and the US government," Lawrence Cannon, the Canadian foreign minister, said on Monday. If he is transferred, Khadr can be free very soon after arriving in Canada because of the country's sentencing guidelines. "His lawyers have promised that they will be applying for this repatriation, and if he is brought back to Canada, he will very likely serve the remaining seven years here," Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab said. "There is a chance that if Mr Khadr is indeed brought back to Canada in around 12 months from now, he may only serve a third of this seven year sentence and be released." Guilty plea Khadr pleaded guilty to killing the soldier when he was 15, along with other terrorism charges, in exchange for an assurance that his sentence would be capped at eight years. Even so, a seven-member military panel deliberated for almost nine hours before reaching the decision to hand Khadr a forty year sentence. US Army Colonel Patrick Parrish, the judge in the case, said that Khadr would serve another year at Guantanamo. Khadr has already spent eight years at US-run prison camp at Guantanamo Bay after being captured, wounded, at the scene of a firefight between US forces and al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan. Guilty of murder Khadr says he threw a grenade during the battle that killed a US soldier. He pleaded guilty to murder in violation of the laws of war, providing material assistance to a terrorist organisation and espionage. Human rights groups have been hugely critical of his treatment, pointing out that he was only a child when his father took him to Afghanistan to undergo al-Qaeda training. His lawyer had called for Khadr to be sentenced to two additional years to the time he has already served, and said that his years in Guantanamo have permanently damaged him. "There is no deradicalisation program in Guantanamo," Lieutenant-Colonel Jon Jackson said, recalling a psychiatrist who testified that Khadr was beyond redemption and a danger to society. Al Jazeera's John Terrett, reporting from Washington,DC, said that the case had attracted a lot of media attention. "It's a series of firsts and onlys. Omar Khadr was the only child soldier in Guantanamo Bay," he said. "He's the only Canadian. He's the last Westerner left there, and he's the only one charged with murder in a battlefield situation."

29 May 2020 - Events
The principle that reference-givers must choose their words carefully to avoid liability for negligence is well known to HR professionals. The key point in the recent High Court case of McKie v Swindon College, is that the principle that careless words can give rise to a claim for damages for negligence, is not confined to references. It will equally apply to other forms of communication about former employees that cause financial loss, such as, in Mr McKie's case, a carelessly written e-mail. In this case, the judge found that the College was liable in negligence to Mr McKie, who had worked for the College six years earlier, after his new employer, the University of Bath, acted on the e-mail by ending Mr McKie's employment.
Mr McKie worked at Swindon College between 1995 and 2002. His career progressed well, he was promoted and received bonuses and when he left to go to work for Bath City College, he received excellent and detailed references. He worked at Bath City College for five years, went briefly to Bristol City College and then in May 2008 took up a new role at the University of Bath.
The University of Bath oversees degree courses at certain further education colleges, including Swindon College. Part of Mr McKie's duties in his new post involved liaising with and visiting these colleges, including Swindon. On 5 June 2008, shortly after he had started work at the University of Bath, an email was sent by Robert Rowe, Human Resources Manager at Swindon to his equivalent at the University of Bath. It said:
"Further to our telephone conversation I can confirm to you that we would be unable to accept Rob McKie on our premises or delivering to our students. The reason for this is that we had very real safeguarding concerns for our students and there were serious staff relationship problems during his employment at this College. No formal action was taken against Mr McKie because he had left our employment before this was instigated. I understand that similar issues arose at the City of Bath College."
The University met with Mr McKie to discuss the concerns raised by the e-mail and then decided to dismiss him by means of a procedure that the judge in the High Court described as wholly unfair. However because Mr McKie had only a few weeks service at the time, he had no remedy for unfair dismissal against the University. He did, however, instigate proceedings against Swindon College for issuing the e-mail, which he claimed was false, misleading, inaccurate and unfair. His case was that the College had acted negligently by issuing such an e-mail without checking its truthfulness or accuracy.
The High Court found that there was no evidence that the statements Mr Rowe made in the e-mail were true. He had not worked with Mr McKie and had no personal knowledge of him or his work history. It was not clear what the basis for the e-mail was nor why Mr Rowe had written it. At the hearing Mr McKie called eight witnesses who testified to the high standard of his work at Swindon College, none of whom had any knowledge of the kinds of concern mentioned in the e-mail. By contrast, the witness evidence produced by the College did not support the claims it made about Mr McKie. The High Court therefore decided that the e-mail had been produced carelessly: 'we can see that the procedure adopted at Swindon College giving rise to the sending of the email, can be described as slapdash, sloppy, failing to comply with any sort of minimum standards of fairness, certainly any such standards as would be recognised by any judicial body taking decisions and disseminating information about another individual'.
Having decided that the e-mail had been carelessly written, the Court then had to consider whether it made any difference that the e-mail was not actually a reference. Previous cases had established that a careless reference did give rise to a possible claim; did the fact that the statement was not a formal reference make any difference? The High Court thought not. There was no reason to limit the principle to statements that were formal references. Moreover, by choosing to write the statement as it did, the College assumed duty of care to Mr McKie, even though there was no longer any employment relationship between them. It was foreseeable that in the circumstances the e-mail might have an effect on Mr McKie's employment and that he might therefore suffer economic loss. The College was therefore liable to compensate Mr McKie for loss arising from its negligence.
One issue that did not arise in this case, but might in others, was the possibility that the University might also have had a claim against the College if it had been able to show that it had suffered financial or other loss as a result of having terminated Mr McKie's employment on the strength of negligent statements by the College. These losses might include unrecoverable recruitment fees, or other costs of recruiting a replacement.
The message of the case is clear:
- Making a statement that might affect the employment or employment prospects of an individual without first checking the accuracy of what you are saying may lead to a claim for damages for negligence;
- This is particularly so if the writer of the statement did not have personal knowledge of the matters addressed in the statement and does not fully investigate beforehand;
- The risk arises whenever it is foreseeable that some financial loss might result from the steps a third party might take as a result of the statement, such as terminating someone's employment or not offering them a job;
- The mere fact that some years have elapsed since an individual worked for the organisation on whose behalf the statement is being made will make no difference as long as the ex-employee can show loss and the loss has been caused by the negligent statement;
- Although the case deal with an employment relationship, the principle it sets out could conceivably be extended to other relationships where a duty of care can be shown. This could possibly cover individuals other than former employees such as non-executive directors, consultants or volunteers.

Covered entry to the home's entrance helps when the weather gets bad and guests are waiting to be greeted.
Floor-to-ceiling windows on the front of this modern home bring in tons of natural light. An unadorned, geometrical exterior allows the beautiful simplicity of the house to shine.
Metal casework, side tables and accessories in a matte ebony exemplify the almost theatrical, graphic, refined Cast Shadows trend.
Warm exterior lighting create a dramatic front entrance in the evening hours.
Stacked stone pillars and wood shingles give this home's exterior a rustic cabin appearance. The vaulted porch roof made out of wood beams makes for a grand but inviting front entrance.
Formal, walled gardens of grasses flank the boardwalk-style front entrance of this home. Shades of green and gold pop against the muted gray tones of composite decking and Utah limestone.
High-back, bamboo chairs provide comfortable, modern outdoor seating in this courtyard. A small, in-ground water feature creates a serene atmosphere before entering the home.
This grand exterior brick entryway is bordered with manicured shrubbery and lush grass.
A flock of (faux) flamingos cause an instant smile at the entrance to this playful abode.
The front door of this home is both elegant and welcoming. The brick path leading up to the blue door welcomes guests inside, while the flowers in the roundabout and the perfectly landscaped shrubs and gardens give the home an elegance the mimics its mountain surroundings.
With a name like Crown Manor, this mansion certainly brings the Royal Family to mind. It only makes sense, then, that two stately lion statues guard the front entrance, while trimmed hedges flank the steps for a very English aesthetic.
The front entrance of this home elegantly mixes the modern and rustic elements and gives guests a preview of what they will find inside. The clean lines of the steps and columns introduce the modern aspects of the home's design, while the rich, wood door nods to the rustic details in the interior spaces.
This entry greets guests and homeowners alike with a historic atmosphere. Traditional features like the antique chandelier, oriental rug and built in shelving bring a traditional feel without looking too dated.
How's this for a warm welcome? Container gardens brighten up the front walkway with cheerful bursts of color.
A beautiful gray exterior accented with stacked stone and wood features minimalist landscaping and stunning contemporary design.
This home is in Dallas, but its grand architecture would let it fit in in Tuscany or Provence. The main entrance is smartened up by trim garden beds and a grass-lined stone driveway.
The bench and mirror in the foyer makes the entrance of this home inviting and intimate despite its magnificent size and design.
The lush tropical plantings help to create privacy while the structure provided extra shade, security and additional privacy so the owners could enjoy a peaceful area directly in front of their house.

Today we went to Ed's grandmother's house for the monthly get together. We were waiting to leave until his uncle Rich and Aunt Dallas got there. Westin was practicing saying "Rich" over and over again waiting for them to come. Westin was really good at saying Rich, but after visiting for a while after they got there we decided we had better get Westin home in time for bedtime. As we were getting ready to leave we told Westin to say by to Rich and he turned and waved and said, "Bye *itch." Just like he says "Borry" instead of "Sorry" he said Rich's name a bit wrong as well. It was so funny. It was an accident, Rich, he didn't mean it.
Bad Words August 29, 2010
Sleeping August 25, 2010
Westin knows how to get out of his crib and it has been a crazy few weeks. He wakes up at 5am and comes into our room and we have to try and get him back to sleep. We finally took his mattress out of the crib and put it on the floor. Even though it is 5 inches high he falls out of it. Now that he can open doors we put a child proof lock on the inside of his door, took all his toys out of his room and locked his closet. He just stays in his room until it is time to wake up. He plays with the door stops and usually falls asleep by one of them and then I go and move him back to his bed when I go up to bed. During his nap the other day he slept for 3 1/2 hours so halfway through I went to check on hm and this is what I found.
Ed's Hockey Game August 22, 2010
This is Westin at Ed's game cheering him on. It was so cute. He could find Ed on the ice I was so impressed.
These are pictures for Ed's hockey games this summer. It was fun to watch. He has not played hockey since the first year we were married. His team won the championship for the summer league. He start the Fall league soon.
Christmas Present! November 18, 2008
So this post is just supposed to make you jealous. 🙂 So Ed travels a lot for work and racked up some frequent flyer miles. He is going to Puerto Rico for work the second weekend in December, so we decided that for our Christmas I would meet Ed down there the day the conference ended and stay for five days. I am so excited!!!!!
Dad Time! June 23, 2008
When Ed gets home from work (but is still on the phone with work) he will give me a break by taking Westin and I will start dinner, finish checking my email, and finish a movie I was watching, or change in gym clothing to go to the gym. I can not quite remember this day in particular but by the way Westin looks we did not do much. He is in clothes that do not match and his socks are falling off making his feet look gigantic.
This is part of the Turtle look that he does. Look at the lips. The whole turtle look is he will scrunch his forehead, stick out his neck and do what his is doing with his lips. I love the Turtle Look but he rarely does it anymore.

Quinoa, Red Pepper, & Corn Salad with Toasted Pumpkin SeedsPosted: March 9, 2012 Filed under: Sides | Tags: healthy, quinoa, salad 7 Comments
What a wonderful day. It's currently raining outside and I'm drinking a big cup of coffee in my favorite pink mug from Anthropologie that my sister gave me for Christmas. I don't work on Fridays (I'm a nanny), so today is my "get things done day." Cleaning, which includes vacuuming, laundry, dusting, cleaning out the refrigerator, & possibly mopping; picking up all the clothes that have somehow gathered on my closet floor; running errands; possibly going for a jog; and my favorite: sharing recipes with you!
This quinoa salad is really really great. My sister introduced me to one of my very favorite cook books, Power Foods. I love it because it's full of recipes that truly are good for you and made from 38 highly nutritious ingredients. But man, every single recipe I've made from here is FULL of flavor. This salad is no exception.
Do you know about quinoa? I hope so! First of all, it's pronounced KEEN-wah. And secondly, this tiny little guy is a kind of seed, not a grain, so it's gluten free and packed with tons of protein, fiber and other good-for-you vitamins. But, like I said before this isn't one of those healthy-but-terrible-tasting recipes. It's healthy alright, but the flavor is delicious. Don't get me wrong, I like hamburgers and pepperoni pizza and even fried ice cream at the fair, but there is just something that feels so great about eating healthfully AND deliciously.
Oh and Matthew loves this salad! Win! I served it as a side for dinner with blackened tilapia which sounds fancy but is truly easy. (Tilapia filet+Tony's Blackening Seasoning+non-stick pan with olive oil+sauteed 2-3 minutes on each side=divine).
Try this! You'll love it!
Quinoa, Red Pepper, & Corn Salad with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
Slightly adapted from the cookbook: Power Foods
Serves 4-6 as a side dish (equally as delicious eaten the next day as leftovers)
1/4 cup fresh lime or lemon juice (from 2 or 3 limes or lemons)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt to tasted
2 3/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups quinoa
1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh corn
1 red bell pepper, seeds & ribs removed, diced
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 large jalapeno, diced (ribs & seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup raw hulled pumpkin seeds, toasted
To make:
Whisk together lime or lemon juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic, oil, & 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Toast pumpkin seeds in either the toaster oven or under the broiler on low. Watch carefully so they don't burn.
Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa, allow to boil then reduce heat to simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes until the quinoa has absorbed the water. Turn off heat and fluff quinoa with a fork.
Put quinoa in a large serving bowl and add corn, red pepper, green onions, jalapeno, cilantro, pumpkin seeds and the dressing. Add salt to taste.
Cut avocado into slices.
Pile quinoa on plates, add avocado if desired and serve!

That is definitely power food! I've only tried quinoa once but am always looking for recipes, so glad I found your blog. 🙂
I love quinoa and I'm always looking for new ways to serve it. This one looks like it would be a favorite!
[…] recipe comes from one of my all time favorite cookbooks, Power Foods. I've shared the quinoa salad here before, it's […]
[…] Quinoa Salad This is my all time favorite quinoa salad! To mix it up a little, I used a roasted poblano pepper (roast at 425 for 3o minutes, allow to cool, remove skin, chop) instead of the red pepper. I also added half a can of black beans for added protein. Delicious! […]

An ordinary variant in a non-coding RNA may be involved in the intestinal inflammation that happens in people with celiac disease, researchers at Columbia University Medical Center say. The findings suggest a possible new risk factor for developing celiac disease in people with celiac disease risk genes.
Peter Green, MD, the Phyllis and Ivan Seidenberg Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), Director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University and co-author on the study, said:
"We don't know why only a fraction of individuals with genetic risk factors for celiac disease actually become gluten intolerant. It is only through the dedicated work of translational scientists that we can begin to uncover the mechanisms that unleash the symptoms of celiac disease."
Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disorder in which genetically predisposed individuals develop an immune response to gluten, a protein found in cereal grains, wheat, rye, and barley. An estimated 40 percent of the population has the primary gene variant associated with celiac disease.
But only 1 percent of people with these genes go on to develop intestinal inflammation and damage, the hallmarks of the disease, after ingesting gluten.
Long Noncoding RNA
Recently, researchers have focused on the ability of noncoding RNA, the portion of our genome that does not encode for the production of proteins, to regulate a variety of biological processes. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), which contains more than 200 nucleotides, are thought to play a role in autoimmune diseases and cancers by interacting with other RNA, DNA, and proteins.
However, it was not clear whether changes in lncRNA genes could put people at risk of developing complex diseases in the same way that changes in protein-coding genes do.
Through a variety of experiments, the researchers demonstrated that lnc13 dampens the expression of celiac-associated genes by binding to a common family of proteins. The celiac-associated variant of lnc13 binds poorly to these proteins, leading to increased expression of inflammatory genes.
The researchers then discovered that patients with celiac disease had unusually low levels of lnc13 in their intestines, suggesting that downregulation of this gene may contribute to the inflammation seen in celiac disease.
"These findings add an important detail to our understanding about how celiac disease develops,"
said Sankar Ghosh, PhD, the Silverstein and Hutt Family Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, Chairman of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at CUMC, lead author of the paper.
"Given that the majority of the population consumes these grains, understanding the factors that put certain individuals at greater risk for the development of celiac disease will have a broad impact. In future studies, we hope to investigate factors that lead to suppression of lnc13, which may cause celiac disease in people who were previously able to tolerate gluten."

"Twelve years ago, Anne Tyler told me I'd one day be signing a book for her," says Rochenski, adding, "I strived to fulfill that prophecy, but quit when the tough times began. Here it is—a new life later—that I'm finally going to be able to mail a book to her, signed of course. It was her mentoring all those years ago that instilled the dream I'm now realizing. If not for her belief in me, I would have put the pencil down and given up long ago.
How friggin' COOL is that????? I'm still jumping out of my skin.

Indy Joins the Compassionate Cities Movement
Feb 02, 2017 03:10AM
By Sandy Meadows
Compassionate Indy is rapidly becoming a force for kindness and cooperation throughout the greater Indianapolis community. The local organization joins forces with the worldwide initiative that began in 2008 when Karen Armstrong, author of Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life, won the $100,000 TED Prize and decided to donate the award money toward the cause of creating more compassion in the world.
Armstrong gathered leaders from across the globe, who came together and drafted a remarkable document on a single page, the Charter for Compassion. It's being used as a template for assisting communities worldwide in addressing their local problems peacefully and compassionately.
Initially sparked by a small interfaith group, the local chapter of Compassionate Indy is one of the most recent communities to join the international Compassionate Cities movement, initially receiving approval as an official global City of Compassion last March. This dynamic, multi-cultural group is energetically engaged in making Central Indiana a place known for its unconditional love and acceptance.
The group focuses on a greater mission of inspiring and empowering all people to practice kindness while actively seeking to alleviate suffering. Their vision is for all people, corporate entities and community institutions to treat all beings and the environment with respect and concern. The Golden Rule is a prominent feature of the international movement, which has been endorsed by Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama and many others. It has been hailed by some as the most important movement of the 21st century.
Last June, Compassionate Indy partnered with the Center for Interfaith Cooperation and the Indiana Buddhist Center to bring the Dalai Lama to Indianapolis to give a public talk about compassion to more than 6,000 people. Various other projects are in the works for this growing local group, including partnering with other organizations working to make a difference in our community.

Sales of the Toyota Prius rose right alongside gas prices in March 2011. During the month, 18,605 Prius models were sold. This was up 52 percent from the 11,786 units sold in March 2010 and an increase of 5,066 from February 2011. Toyota has now sold 1 million Prius hybrids here in the United States. The rise in sales of the best-selling hybrid mimic the trend set during the summer of 2008 when gas prices topped $4/gallon across the country.
Prius sales led the way for what proved to be a stellar March for Toyota and Lexus hybrid sales. Overall, Toyota Motor Sales sold 20,839 Toyota-branded hybrids and 3,900 Lexus hybrids. This is a 42.5 percent increase from March 2010 sales.
Toyota wasn't the only company to see a surge in hybrid vehicle sales. The Honda Insight set a March sales record with 2,782 units sold, up 62.2 percent from last year. Honda also sold 441 Civic Hybrids and 1,685 CR-Z hybrids last month. Two of the most fuel-efficient Hondas also saw a surge in sales — the Fit posted an increase of 43.4 percent and Civic sales increased by 33.8 percent.
Nissan North America (NNA) also had a record-setting month. NNA sold a total of 121,141 vehicles in March; the best sales month in the company's history. While February proved problematic for sales of the Nissan Leaf, the company redeemed itself with its March figures. During March, NNA sold 298 Nissan Leafs, up significantly from the 67 sold in February.
The other new electrified vehicle, the Chevy Volt, also saw a jump in sales. In February 2011, General Motors only sold 281 Chevy Volts. Last month, the company moved 608 new Volts.
Is it a coincidence that sales of hybrid, electrified and fuel-efficient vehicles increased as gas prices trended upwards? If gas prices begin to normalize, will automakers see these sales figures drop? If sales trends follow those set during the 2008 gas price crisis, then automakers will likely see a decrease in demand for fuel-efficient models once gas prices return to normal.
