Anatomical facts:
Leukemia is a type of cancer that starts in the blood forming tissues, such as the bone marrow, and then spreads in the body[1]. The bone marrow is a name given to the soft material which is found in the middle of most bones. Bone marrow contains cells which are responsible for forming blood. The name given to these specialized cells is stem cells. All stem cells undergo their maturation phase within the bone marrow and then travel to different parts of the body through the blood vessels once they have been matured.
Each cell that a stem cell matures into has a separate function. For instance red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide away from all the cells of the body. Platelets are responsible for helping in the formation of blood clots in order to prevent excessive bleeding and loss of blood from wounds and injuries. White blood cells are responsible for combating different infections.
White blood cells are of two main types namely monocytes and granulocytes. The main cells of the lymphoid tissues of the body are known as the lymphocytes and constitute a major portion of the immune system of every individual. Lymphocytes, similar to the blood cells originate from marrow of bones.
What is Leukemia?
Leukemia is the name given to a group of specific cancers of the blood which are diagnosed in nearly 44,000 children and adults every single year. Almost 11% of all new cases of leukemia that are diagnosed, are those diagnosed in children. This percentage is equal to 3,800 childhood leukemia cases each year. It is important to understand that the mechanism of childhood leukemia is different from the leukemia that affects adults. Children also have a different survival rate as compared to adults.
Types of Leukemia
Leukemia is broadly divided into two main subgroups in case of adults. These are acute leukemia and chronic leukemia. Acute leukemia is the name given to a group of cancers whose progress is highly rapid and is characterized by the production of a large number of abnormal cells in the blood which hinder the normal functionality of the bone marrow as well as the blood.
In case this type of cancer is left untreated, it can progress rapidly to manifest a number of symptoms in the body. The reason why prominent symptoms are not seen in many cases when the cancer is diagnosed is the fact that many normal cells of the body are still capable of functioning normally despite the production of and destruction caused by the abnormal cells.
Chronic leukemia is the name given to the form of leukemia which progresses over a long period of time, but has the potential to become acute during some phase of the cancer. The process of the development of chronic leukemia can take several years. It has been observed that nearly 55% of all leukemia cases are acute where as 45% of them are chronic. The 5 year survival rate for all leukemia cancers is about 48%. The survival rate of the patients is entirely dependent upon the age, gender, form of leukemia and race.
Risk factors for Leukemia
Some of the most prominent risk factors in case of adult leukemia include exposure to certain chemicals including benzene and various drugs used in chemotherapy. Exposure to radiation is also a major risk factor. All the different types of leukemia that affect adults or children initiate from different types of blood cells.
ALL, or the acute lymphocytic leukemia and the CLL or chronic lymphocytic leukemia are the two types of this cancer which originate from lymphocytes. AML, or acute myelogenous leukemia initiates from the granulocytes whereas the chronic myelogenous leukemia originates from the cells which help in the formation of blood, found in the bone marrow.
A rare form of leukemia known as the hairy cell leukemia, or HCL, is characterized by the formation of abnormal lymphocytes which are covered with small projections resembling hair. The most common type of acute leukemia found in the majority of adults is the AML and is responsible for 83% of all leukemia cases. On the other hand, CLL is responsible for 63% of all the chronic leukemia cases that are diagnosed in adults.
Leukemia Treatment
There is an immediate need for treatment and medication in all cases of acute leukemia the moment that it is diagnosed in a patient. The first treatment that is given in this case is an aggressive dose of chemotherapy.
Induction is the first phase of the treatment given to patients and is responsible for bringing about a remission. Once the symptoms have successfully disappeared, a second dose of chemotherapy is given to ensure the prevention of a relapse. This phase of leukemia treatment is known as the maintenance therapy.
Cases of chronic leukemia need not be treated with aggressive chemotherapy immediately. In case the symptoms grow worse, the treatment can be initiated in order to gain control of the disease and all of its symptoms. In some cases, chronic leukemia can be cured, but the treatment can keep the leukemia in the phase of remission for a considerable time.

What are Junk Fees
Junk fees are a series of charges that a lender imposes at the closing of a mortgage. These charges are often unexpected by the borrower and not clearly explained by the lender. This surprise factor can lead to the impression that these fees are excessive and tacked on to other legitimate closing costs without good reason.
BREAKING DOWN Junk Fees
Junk fees are a subset of the costs that appear on every HUD-1 settlement statement. Traditionally, that statement was a stand-alone form that federal law required a lender to provide a borrower at closing. It contained a detailed itemization of all costs associated with the loan. Prior to closing, at the point when the parties agree to the terms of the loan and begin preparations for closing, the lender was required to provide a good faith estimate (GFE) of those costs. In 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) consolidated these documents into one form, the closing disclosure.
The costs listed on the HUD-1 range from boilerplate items such as home inspection and title search fees to more questionable costs that some consider junk. The latter group can contain items such as a document preparation fee, an application fee, a funding fee, a verification of employment fee or an automated underwriting fee. The borrower has always had the right to challenge these fees and negotiate them with the lender, but many lenders have found it profitable to assume that borrowers will fail to challenge all of these fees. Critics of the mortgage industry have also argued that lenders do not adhere to the good faith requirement of the GFE, and liberally add fees to the final HUD-1 statement that were never included in the GFE.
CFPB Reforms the Closing Process in 2015
The CFPB's 2015 reforms to the closing process not only streamlined the paperwork associated with the closing process, they also established restrictions on fees and adjustments that could be made after the GFE was provided to the borrower. Part of the aim of these changes was to minimize lenders' ability to add junk fees that borrower might overlook. The major change that CFPB instituted in this new set of rules is a limitation on the permissible inflation of charges listed on the lending estimate (LE), the document formerly known as the GFE. In general, no fee can be increased by more than 10% from the LE to the final closing statement. If a major change in the circumstances of the loan has occurred, the lender must allow the borrower to review a new LE.
Junk fees are not generally illegal. Even with the efforts of the CFPB to protect borrowers against deceptive lending practices, the borrower bears the burden of carefully examining and questioning fees that appear unnecessary.

The Scope of The Issue
It's more widespread than you'd think, with around 275,000 cases of child sex abuse every year in the US. The approximate number of US sex abuse survivors exceeds 60 million. These numbers may sound shocking, and they should- because this is the size of the issue that we're facing. We don't have exact numbers as to the number of cases juveniles are the cause of, however, it's estimated to be around a fifth of all cases.
When it's children or youth who commit the sexual offense, it's no different than when an adult does. It is considered any behavior that is sexually abusive. It is contact that occurs without consent, and is sexual in nature. It can be as a result of deception, manipulation, coercion, or game-playing.
It can also include behavior that is often brushed off, such as exposing private parts, obscene phone calls, rubbing against someone, and other types of harassment. Most offenses by adolescents are more serious, though, and are generally an attempt to have intercourse.
The perpetrator's age shouldn't be ignored, or dismissed. Sexually aggressive behavior, is sexually abusive behavior. Flashing, groping, and other "less" severe actions should not be dismissed as the typical boys will be boys type of behavior. These are all signs of a potential abuser, or an abuser.
Cause & Pattern
There are a variety of theories as to why some children and teenagers may sexually abuse other children or teens. While there is no clear formula as to why, because offending behaviors are complex, the theory that has been most widely accepted is learning theory. This is that the behavior is linked to a variety of factors, which includes their own sexual victimization, an early exposure to violence and sexuality, substance abuse, an exposure to child pornography, a heightened arousal to children, as well as being around aggressive adults, or experiencing violence in their own families.
These theories suggest that juvenile sex offenders are moving through an expected progression. This cycle sees a significant event cause a negative emotional response in the juvenile. It's an attempt on the part of the juvenile to gain control of the response, however, it fails. This then results in rage and anger, resulting in fantasies of overpowering someone else, as well as thoughts of retaliation, which then result in an assault.
This cycle may be too rigid, as interviews with juvenile sex offenders have shown that any series of problems in life could trigger the feelings that result in an offense. Regardless of why or how the offenses are triggered- what may start as a hands-off behavior, often escalates to assault.

The Kickstarter campaign for the latest game by the creative geniuses at Massive Damage has reached and exceeded its funding goals. As of this writing, the campaign has reached $83,000 out of the original $40,000 goal. Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander has been approved by the Square Enix Collective. This allows the game's developers to receive some marketing backing from one of the best-known video game publishers on the market.
"Massive Damage are a smart and ambitious team with a proven track record not only in developing and delivering games, but in engaging with their community. With an engaging visual style and deep and rewarding gameplay, Halcyon 6 looks like it has all the ingredients to make a splash once released." – an excerpt from the campaign's page on Kickstarter
Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander will challenge players to harness the power of an ancient space station to turn the tides of a disastrous war. This space station is humanity's only hope to fight off humanity's enemies. This space station will be able to build the fleets to defend your species. This rogue-like sci-fi strategy survival game will feature a dangerous and uncaring universe to explore, a crew with unique characters to manage, hard decisions to make, tough battles to fight, a starbase to build up and an incredible emergent story. Starbase Commander will feature a unique cast of officers with their own abilities and character traits. Players will have to manage these characters and use their traits and abilities in the best possible way. This doesn't mean that players won't have any choice in the matter. At the start of each playthrough in this randomly generated title players will have to choose the officers for Halcyon 6. That choice will have lasting consequences. Backers from the $15 tier will receive a copy of the game. Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander is expected to be released in December 2015.
The team at Massive Damage is using the Square Enix Collective that allows indie developers to get a "boost in marketing" without any additional financial support. Collective is a platform that allows indie developers to receive support in funding their title and publishing. Developers whose games have become approved on the platform will get a marketing boost from the Collective as a "Square Enix Approved" title. This will help build awareness of the game and increase the amount of funds that will be raised through crowdfunding platforms. This allows developers to receive some significant benefits while retaining the rights to their games.

We took a road trip to Doha last week for a short holiday. Doha is the capital of Qatar, which is a small Gulf state whose only land border is with Saudi Arabia. It has a population of 1.8 million, of which only 300,000 are Qatari citizens. Like Saudi Arabia, Qatar is also a petroleum-rich state and is ruled by a monarchy. Qatar and Saudi Arabia also follow the same version of Islam (Wahhabism). In addition, many Qataris are actually descendents from tribes originating from regions in Saudi Arabia, including the Najd region (central Saudi). For example, the Tamim tribe, to which Camelman belongs, gave rise to the Al-Thani family, which rules Qatar.
Same tribal roots, same religion, both petroleum-rich, both ruled by a monarchy .. but Qatar is no Saudi Arabia. The contrast between Qatar and Saudi Arabia was apparent as soon as we crossed the border. For example, when we passed the road sign saying "Welcome to the State of Qatar", the car ride suddenly got much smoother as the pavement evened out. Even when we arrived at the actual border crossing, we were all a bit tongue-tied at first – because we were greeted by a female Qatari border guard! It might sound strange that this was noteworthy to us, but contrast it to Saudi Arabia where you would never encounter Saudi women working in situations where they need to interact with the general public. But pictures might be the most telling of all – here is the Qatar side of the border crossing:
And here is the Saudi side of the border:
Beyond just the border crossing, Qatar has significant differences from Saudi Arabia in several ways, both politically and socially. Qatar is a constitutional monarchy with a 45-seat parliament (currently appointed but will have two-thirds elected seats by 2013). Qatar is also playing a leading supporting role for the Arab Spring. Qatar has a free and open media – indeed, Al-Jazeera is broadcast from Qatar. Qatar allows for non-Muslims to practice their religion. For example, there are already two Catholic churches and soon a third one for Maronite Christians will open. Men and women can mix freely in society, like in the West. Qatari women are not required to wear an abaya or cover their face in Qatar. They can if they want to, but they don't have to. Indeed, there is no dress code for any women (Qatari or expats). Also, women can drive in Qatar and they can hold jobs where they might have to deal with the public. In fact, the president of Qatar University (which is co-ed) is a woman.
So it IS possible to have a free, open, and progressive society in the Arabian peninsula!

The Marx are a four-piece rock band from Dundee. Or more accurately, they are a punk band who play rock and roll. Originally conceived in Dundee as a three-piece punk band they have since added a dirty blues guitarist to add some roll to their . . . well, rock.
The punk tradition of short, energetic, punchy songs is present in all five of the tracks on the EP with the longest being just over three minutes long. Getting a blues guitarist to curtail the solos to under twenty minutes is an achievement in itself and the punk rock that is at the heart of The Marx just simply won't allow such extravagance.
Opening track 'Down' bursts into life in a furious flurry of fingers on the guitar fretboard. This is pure rock 'n' roll with a punk rock vocal style somewhere between Jimmy Pursey and Pete Shelley. The tempo continues in title track 'The Void' but slows down briefly for a nice guitar solo before picking back up towards the end; all in under two and half minutes. 'Profit' is an angry two-minute rant against modern attitudes in true punk tradition. The last two tracks, 'Speaking Secret' and 'Celebrate the Dead' slow things down a bit and give a glimpse of the classic rock band that is being bullied into the background by its punk rock peers.
Back in the day as punk rock was burning itself out there was a transition from punk to metal or hard rock that hard-core punks found hard to take. There is a classic rock band in here somewhere but I just love the way that the punk band digs in and doesn't back down.

Auctions - the Solution to Windmill Profits and End of all State Aid Problems?
After the unhappy closing of the of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009, it is again time to examine what Europe is doing to prevent global warming. Already in 2005, the EU introduced the largest Emissions Trading System (ETS) in the world to curb greenhouse gasses. Following mixed experiences with the allocation of emission allowances on the basis of historical demand statistics (grandfathering) during the first two trading phases of the EU ETS, auctioning will become more important during the third trading phase. Auctions are often viewed as mechanisms to solve problems of windfall profits and State aid that have been an issue under the application of the 'grandfathering' system. In this article I present arguments that such a result is by no means a self-fulfilling prophecy.

WIPO-UDRP Entscheid
WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center
Basic Trademark S.A. v. Antares S.p.A.
Case No. D2007-1771
1. The Parties
The Complainant is Basic Trademark S.A., of Luxembourg.
The Respondent is Antares S.p.A., of Parma, Italy.
2. The Domain Name and Registrar
The disputed domain name <robedikappa.org> is registered with Tucows, Inc.
3. Procedural History
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on November 30, 2007. On December 4, 2007, the Center transmitted by email to Tucows, Inc. a request for registrar verification in connection with the domain name at issue. On December 5, 2007, Tucows, Inc. transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details. The Center verified that the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy"), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on December 7, 2007. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was December 27, 2007. The Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent's default on December 28, 2007.
The Center appointed Philippe Gilliron as the sole panelist in this matter on January 8, 2008. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
4. Factual Background
The Complainant is the right-holder of numerous trademarks ROBE DI KAPPA, both verbal and figurative, on a worldwide basis.
The Complainant in particularly holds the figurative trademark ROBE DI KAPPA in classes 1 to 42 in Italy since July 23, 1981.
The trademark ROBE DI KAPPA is licensed to more than hundred licensees, including in Italy where it has been heavily used for several years in the fashion industry.
The Complainant further holds the domain names <robedikappa.com> and <robedikappa.eu>.
The domain name <robedikappa.org> was registered on June 28, 2007 by the Respondent.
On September 7, 2007, the Respondent sent an e-mail to the Complainant, informing the latter that it had received a request from the Republic of China to purchase the domain name, but was ready to give priority to the Complainant in return for an amount to be negotiated between the parties.
The Respondent still holds the domain name, which is offered for sale at "www.sedo.com" for an amount of Euro 10,000.
5. Parties' Contentions
A. Complainant
The Complainant first asserts that the domain name <robedikappa.org> is identical to the trademark ROBE DI KAPPA in which it has rights.
It further considers that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name at dispute as it "has never used nor has title to use ROBE DI KAPPA as a denomination, company name, trademark, service mark, distinctive sign".
The Complainant finally affirms that the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith for the following reasons:
First of all, the Respondent's bad faith would be evidenced by the fact that it offered to sell the domain name to the Complainant and threatened to sell it to a Chinese company in case of refusal in an e-mail of September 7, 2007. The Complainant adds that, at the time of the filing of the Complaint, the domain name <robedikappa.org> was still available for sale at the price of Euro 10,000 at "www.sedo.com".
Secondly, the registration of the domain name at dispute should be considered as evidence of bad faith per se, considering the fame and distinctiveness of the Complainant's trademark. According to the latter, the ROBE DI KAPPA trademark is a distinctive mark without any meaning and the use of the word "robe di kappa" can only refer to the trade mark of the Complainant.
Thirdly, the exchange of e-mails between the parties would clearly demonstrate that the Respondent knew that the registration of the domain name <robedikappa.org> without the authorization of the Complainant would constitute bad faith.
Finally, considering the reputation of its trademark and the absence of any legitimate interest from the Respondent, the Complainant concludes that "the primary purpose of the Respondent's domain name registration is to disrupt the business of the Complainant".
B. Respondent
The Respondent did not reply to the Complainant's contentions.
6. Discussion and Findings
Paragraph 15(a) of the Rules instructs this Panel to "[…] decide a complaint on the basis of the statements and documents submitted and in accordance with the Policy, these Rules and any rules and principles of law that it deems applicable".
In view of the Respondent's failure to submit a Response, the Panel shall decide this administrative proceeding on the basis of the Complainant's undisputed representations pursuant to the Rules, paragraphs 5(e), 14(a) and 15(a) and will draw such inferences as it considers appropriate pursuant to the Rules, paragraph 14(b).
Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy requires that the Complainant must prove each of the following three elements to obtain an order that a domain name should be cancelled or transferred:
(1) the domain name registered by the Respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights; and
(2) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
(3) the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
A. Identical or Confusingly Similar
According to the Policy, paragraph 4(a)(i), the Complainant has to prove that the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights.
The Complainant proved to be the right-holder of numerous trademarks containing the word "robe di kappa" on a worldwide basis, including in Italy where the Respondent is located. The domain name <robedikappa.org> being identical to the Complainant's trademark, the Panel finds that the Policy, paragraph 4(a)(i) has been satisfied.
B. Rights or Legitimate Interests
According to the Policy, paragraph 4(b)(ii), the Complainant has to demonstrate that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the domain name.
In Do The Hustle, LLC v. Tropic Web, WIPO Case No. D2000-0624, the panel stated: "Where a complainant has asserted that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name, it is incumbent upon the respondent to come forward with concrete evidence rebutting this assertion". Subsequent panels have developed a consensus view that where the complainant makes a prima facie case that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests, it falls to the respondent to show circumstances establishing such rights or legitimate interests. See e.g. paragraph 2.2 of the WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions and cases cited therein.
Based upon the evidence brought by the Complainant and the heavily use of the trademark ROBE DI KAPPA in Italy over years, it is clear that Respondent was aware of the existence of Complainant's trademark, as evidenced by the fact that Respondent itself contacted the Complainant to offer the domain name for sale. The Complainant has therefore made a prima facie case, and the Respondent does not bring any evidence that would demonstrate any right or legitimate interests in the domain name as the Respondent did not file a Response. More specifically, the Respondent does not demonstrate that:
(i) before any notice to it of the dispute, it used or made preparations to use the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or
(ii) the Respondent is commonly known by the domain name, even if it has acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or
(iii) the Respondent is making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.
Consequently, the Panel considers the Policy, paragraph 4(a)(ii) to be fulfilled.
C. Registered and Used in Bad Faith
For a Complaint to succeed, the Panel must be satisfied that a domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith (Policy, paragraph 4(a)(iii)).
To have registered the domain name in bad faith, the Respondent first must have been aware of the existence of the Complainant. Such obviously is the case here as demonstrated above.
The Panel is persuaded from the circumstances in this case that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name primarily for the purpose of selling it to the Complainant for an amount greatly in excess of any documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Respondent and directly related to the domain name. The Respondent's unsolicited offer to sell this domain name to the Complainant, with the threat that he otherwise would sell it to an undisclosed alleged Chinese company, is compelling evidence of the Respondent's bad faith under paragraph 4(b)(i) of the Policy.
This sole circumstance would already enable the Panel to consider Policy, paragraph 4(a)(iii) to be satisfied.
The Respondent's bad faith is nevertheless confirmed by the fact that it deliberately parked <robedikappa.org> on a portal website to generate "click-through" commissions, in accordance with conventional practice when customers reach a site through a link on a portal. As stated by a prior panel, "[u]se for a portal linking to websites of the Complainant's competitors is […] one which seeks to profit from confusion with the Complainant". (Humana Inc. v. Domain Deluxe, WIPO Case No. D2005-0231). Consequently, the Panel considers that the Respondent intentionally intends to attract Internet users to its site by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's ROBE DI KAPPA mark.
Consequently, the Panel considers Policy, paragraph 4(a)(iii) to be satisfied.
7. Decision
For all the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the domain name <robedikappa.org> be transferred to the Complainant.

The Art of Positive Psychology
The positive psychology teacher is an artist.
Posted Nov 26, 2012
When you teach the algebraic equation, do you also teach the formula for sharing knowledge with others? When you teach the unique characteristics of the planets, do you also teach about the unique characteristics of the person?
The art of positive psychology is a multi-dimensional, mixed-media art form that avoids compartmentalized, discipline-discrete instruction and embraces integrative, multi-discipline-enriched teaching. How fast did Paul Revere travel on his midnight ride through Boston? How far did he travel? Were there other faster or shorter routes through town? What year was it? What other important events occurred in that same year? Was his message important? How did he feel riding fast through the dark? What strengths does Longfellow capture in his famous poem about him?
As in art, every subject that must be mastered - and every skill that must be acquired - is the basis for cognitive, affective, and conative development. What can I know about this person, place, or thing? What do I feel? What action can I take, what problem can I solve, what project can I complete? Carl Jung described the art of teaching in this way, "One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our feelings."
The positive psychology teacher adopts a new taxonomy. Taxonomy is the science of categorizing related concepts and education taxonomies classify the content -- or the subject taught. Defining and developing an educational taxonomy is the first step in building learning structure and content. Before the teacher can teach effectively, they must determine what to teach. Educational taxonomies that identify categories of learning and instructional goals generate a curricular map for the teacher to follow.
While traditional educational taxonomies are primarily concerned with how to best teach subject area content and how to build a child's academic knowledge -- reading, writing, and arithmetic taxonomies also need to address what to teach so as to develop well-rounded children who learn to thrive in the school setting and throughout their adult lives. Education must address more than the accumulation of subject-area knowledge. New taxonomies must incorporate emotional education into the more traditional education paradigm.
The new taxonomy of positive psychology teaching creates a new mosaic of cognitive and emotional learning. The art of positive psychology is the art of self-discovery.
What will your students discover about themselves, others, and their world today?
What picture will they paint?

I would love to hear from you. Do you think teaching is more art or science? How is it an art? What medium of art expression is analogous? Are you familiar with Bloom's affective taxonomy? Do you think the three domains of Bloom's learning taxonomy are given equal attention in the classroom? How do you balance the teaching of the cognitive and affective taxonomy in your classroom? What is an example of a lesson that you use to teach cognitive, affective, and conative learning using an interdisciplinary approach or the "mosaic" effect?
My upcoming book, Positive Psychology in the Elementary School Classroom, is the first in a series intended to help teachers build positive psychology classrooms. http://books.wwnorton.com/books/Author.aspx?id=23961

"Your underestimation of how loud traffic noise would be has actually led to an interesting aspect of the resultant piece: the dynamic perceptual relationship between it and other sounds. Whether you intended it or not, the generative nature of the 'rhythm' of the traffic is also quite satisfying."
One of the things that Jeevan picked up on was the traffic noise actually creating its own rhythm. I think that this is an interesting place to start. Over the last few weeks, I have been considering what to do to make this more prominent and I came up with an idea of somehow artificially manipulating the traffic over the first half of my soundscape to make these generative rhythms more prominent, before returning to the second half of the soundscape which I would keep as it was.

Whether or not next week's Fed announcement proves to bring a winter storm for bond markets remains to be seen. That said, if anything is going to do the trick, that's the best chance we have. Between now and then, bonds aren't quite sure what to do with themselves, as evidenced by their relative absence of movement today.
It wasn't as if bonds simply ended unchanged after being much higher and lower on the day. There just wasn't much movement in either direction. The only temporary exception was seen in the morning hours before the domestic open in response to the European Central Bank's announcement and subsequent Mario Draghi press conference. As soon as European markets closed for the day, bond yields quickly returned to pre-ECB levels and drifted sideways into the close.

ProPublica, the nonprofit investigative news site, has obtained an audio recording of children crying for their parents at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility.
A border patrol agent is heard saying "Well, we have an orchestra in here. What's missing is a conductor."
According to ProPublica, the recording captured 10 Central American children ages 4 to 10 who had been separated from their parents and brought to the unnamed facility within the previous 24 hours. The article describes the children crying "'Mami' and 'Papá' over and over again, as if those are the only words they know."
"My mama says that I'll go with my aunt," one young girl says. "And that she'll come to pick me up there as quickly as possible."
The audio was recorded last week by someone who "heard the children's weeping and crying, and was devastated by it," according to the ProPublica article. That person, who asked to remain anonymous, gave the recording to Jennifer Harbury, a civil rights attorney.
The Trump administration's policy of separating children from their parents at the border has drawn condemnation from across the political spectrum, including former first lady Laura Bush and evangelist Franklin Graham, who has defended Trump on many issues.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who put into effect the "zero tolerance" policy of arresting and jailing adults who cross the border illegally, spoke at the National Sheriffs' Association Annual Conference in New Orleans on Monday. He said the administration doesn't want to separate children from their parents.
"Within hours, the children are turned over to the Department of Health and Human Services," Sessions said. "They're not put in jail, of course, they are taken care of. They remain in the country even though they don't have a lawful process to be here and enormous cost that is being incurred by our government."

It is time to reflect on stock purchases. Over the past six months, I bought a total of 6,000 shares in 16 very different companies, at a total cost of $24,756. If we add their profits, the companies earned a total $1,012 and had a book value of $20,561. On the portfolio level, I paid a hefty price of about 20 times the past earnings and a more reasonable price to book value of 1.2 times.
I invested in these companies for three reasons. First, companies such as Bon Ton Department Stores and Famous Dave traded at a valuation below their competitors. I expect that their values will align with the competition in the future.
Second, other companies I found were trading below their 10-year historical multiple to earnings. Take Regal Entertainment Group, as an example. Over the past decade, the average earnings multiple was between 28 and 19 times. I purchased the position at 17 times the 10-year average earnings per share.
The third category for stock purchases was dividend yield. Capstead Mortgage and Terra Nitrogen fit in this category wtih an expected dividend yield of 7% and 6%, respectively.
I would get back 93 cents for every dollar I invested in the portfolio of companies if I was to trade my portfolio of companies for cash. I experienced a substantial decline in market value with Vitamin Shoppe and RAIT Financial Trust. While the latter lost 32% in market value and the former lost 85% (ouch, that was painful to write), their overall negative effect on the portfolio was 5% and 4%, respectively. I received $388 in dividends from these companies to date and expect to receive an additional $848 in 2018, an expected yield of 3.5%.
While I am indifferent to a 7% decline in market value, I have one regret. I should never have purchased a position in RAIT Financial Trust. As I wrote to you, the company had a tremendous amount of liabilities with little equity. And while it was fairly easy to see that, I led myself to believe otherwise. I plan to keep this position in 2018 - just to remind myself of the potential, dire consequences of rash decisions.
Two lessons can be observed from these recent purchases. The first lesson is one stock should rarely represent more than 15% of your portfolio. By having this rule of thumb, the steep decline in value for RAIT Financial Trust had less than a 5% effect on the portfolio.
It is a popular cliché that the only assurance in life are death and taxes. I would add that mistakes are of certainty as well. So diversification, defined as an equity position in 15 to 30 companies, is one of the tools I use to allow for future mistakes.
The second lesson is that market fluctuations should be taken lightly. As long as you don't invest using a margin account or develop the bad habit of shorting stocks (some would argue that shorting stocks is a vice), the practical effect of the changes in the quoted prices, assuming you plan to hold them for three- to five-years, is nil.
If a person runs down your street, frantically yelling that he is willing to purchase all the homes on your block for 60 cents on the dollar, how would you react? Would you immediately sell your home?
My guess is that you wouldn't. And similarly, quoted prices on stocks you purchase, if you are confident in your analysis and investment, are best to be ignored.
What's next? Other than to research and to write about investment topics, I don't expect much investment actions. Over the next months, I plan to write about the tools I use to find stocks, how I research stocks and what my criteria are to purchase a position in a company.
If you would like to be notified when I post articles, please leave you email address below and if you have any questions, just write to me. It may take me awhile, but I reply to all emails.
For now - Happy Holidays!

1,4,6 Androstatriene-dione (ATD)
ATD is a steroidal aromatase inhibitor, known as a suicidal inhibitor because it permanently binds to the aromatase enzyme.
ATD is used for its aromatase inhibiting and testosterone boosting effect. Its effectiveness at lowering estrogen appears to be stronger than 6-oxo. It converts to 1,4,6-testosterone, which would also be expected to cause falsely high readings for a testosterone analysis.
The 1,4,6-testosterone metabolite of ATD can also bind to the androgen receptor (AR) and induce androgenic (or possibly anti-androgenic) effects similar to what is seen from 6-oxo. This would be expected since 1,4,6-testosterone has about one third the binding affinity for the AR, therefore it may interefere with the anabolic or androgenic action of hormones which bind the androgen receptor.
ATD would also be expected to interfere with production of natural testosterone by acting upon the hypothalamus pituitary testicular axis (HPTA), therefore this compound should not be used during post cycle therapy (PCT), however it could successfully be used during a cycle to help keep estrogen in control. Anecdotal reports and animal studies have also shown ATD inhibits libido and general sexual potency.

Shabby chic coffee table design trend goes under many names and permutations. Cottage style is exemplified by smaller pieces with less ornate frames and finishes. Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese-inspired look, shares this preference for simple but has a more washed-up palette, usually centers on ancient white, stone, pale earth colors and colored wood. French land gives more color and decoration, sometimes with narrow carved legs and shades of corn blue and saffron yellow. Rustic interior centers surround more solid pieces with wider legs.
12 Photos Gallery of: Making Shabby Chic Coffee Table
Determine the style of shabby chic coffee table that you prefer. A pedestal style table works well in tight spaces, but removes the possibility of hidden storage under the table. A low, simple table emphasizes the surrounding furniture and natural light. A round table wakes country style. Visit the yard sales, economy stores, flea markets and garage and winds of friends and family to find inspiration and locate material for table bases and table tops. Your coffee table will develop the shabby chic style more if you recycle or rehabilitate old pieces instead of using new pieces. But if you find your ideal table new, you can still add faux finish, painful and accessories to make it shabby chic. Some possibilities for coffee table material include old windows, small wooden doors, glass tops, large pallets, benches, pallets shipment or simple tables that you customize in shabby chic style.
Attach support table foot to the desktop. A pedestal base with a circular top may require drilling holes and nailing the pieces, or you can use a liquid nail product. If you have a heavy glass board, you do not need to follow it but should be sure the base covers enough area to support it well. You can also use wood brackets. For a traditional rectangular coffee table, attach four legs by drilling holes and screw or nail them in each corner, make sure the legs are level and the table is stable. Create dimension by adding architectural elements to your shabby chic coffee table. You may spike light wood trim with a raised or engraved pattern along the edges of the table. Ornate wood brackets between the legs and the underside of the table give it an imaginative look.

When Mary Meeker peers into the future, we listen. This week, the famed analyst released her annual report on Internet trends, and there were some standout mobile findings.
For example, did you know we're reaching to our smartphones an average of 150 times per day? (Hey, smart watches, that's your cue.)
What else marketers need to know...
In the next decade we will likely see the rise of wearables, drivables, flyables, and scannables.
Brands like Ford and Saab are already pushing drivables—or truly "smart" cars. And just this week, Dominos introduced the "DomiCopter," a drone that flies pizza right to your door. No more pizza sitting in traffic and getting cold.
China is also leading in mobile, by smartly making use of tech like on-demand delivery services, bid-to-win apps, and QR codes.
Marketers should note overseas innovation to make sure they're taking advantage of technology trends.
For more on what we learned from Meeker, check out this week's video, above.

Meanwhile in Sarah Brady Paradise: In Self Defence* edition
It looks like the people in (Formerly Great) Britain have finally made it clear to their overlords that killing in self defense is not a crime.
A third man has now admitted his part in the armed robbery of a florist who stabbed to death one of the intruders in self-defence.
Their accomplice, Gary Mullings, 30, from New Moston, suffered fatal stab wounds in a violent struggle with Mr Coley at the Shrewsbury Street shop he had run for 40 years.
The 72 year old man was originally arrested on suspicion of murder, but later released when the Crown made the determination that he used "reasonable force." What made stabbing them "reasonable?"
"Armed with a gun and an imitation firearm they, and Gary Mullings, forced their way into the shop. They threatened and attacked Mr Coley and a friend who was in the shop with him, injuring both of them and robbing them of cash and valuables. Both men were so scared that they feared for their lives.
So how is it that in gun free (Formerly Great) Britain, every stupid criminal seems to have a gun? Why is a 72 year old man forced to grapple with four thugs, using only a knife? After he killed one he was still faced with three, whose combined total age was still less than his.
They say that old age and treachery beats youth and skill. I say, give that old man a gun. We need our old men to be dangerous.

The Florida shooting case becomes news in Raleigh
Inevitably some reporter decided to go down to the gun shop/range and interview gun owners. I have no idea why they think they will get useful information out of people whose only knowledge of the case comes from the very newspapers and TV reports that are grossly misrepresenting what happened, but they come out anyway.
"The operator told him not to follow the individual , the young man, and he still did. To me, Zimmerman took his authority a little bit too far and it could be because he had a gun on him. He maybe felt like he was extra powerful or something," Lancaster said.
Hodgkins said, "I don't know if people feel empowered because they have guns. I don't think that's a good thing if you feel like you're going to go out and stop crimes, because that's not a good reason to own guns. Police are there for that."
Watch the video
I think that on the whole, these gun owners represented us pretty well, but I'm still angry that the press has printed what has turned out to be a pack of lies about the case and then demands that the average gun owner react as if those lies are truth. I sent the reporter an email.
In most ways, NC Law is the same as Florida law. In NC you do not have to retreat from anywhere you have a legal right to be. You are certainly not required to attempt to retreat when your assailant is sitting on top of you and pounding your head on the pavement.
The cops handcuffed Zimmerman, put him in a police car, and took him to the station for interrogation. They then compared his statement to the physical evidence found at the scene, and to witness statements. They all matched. They all point to Treyvon attacking Zimmerman, taking him to the ground, sitting on top of him and pounding his head into the pavement. This is considered a deadly force attack in any jurisdiction, including North Carolina. It also points out that there was no duty to retreat even in states that demand you attempt to retreat because retreat is impossible when someone is sitting on top of you.
Now most of us would equate being handcuffed and hauled down to the station as an "Arrest." The police called in "Investigative Detention." In either case, the popular notion that Zimmerman was patted on the back, handed his gun back, and sent home to rest while the cops swept up the crime scene is certainly false.
The only specific difference I can see between Florida law and NC Law is that it is written in Florida law that if the police can't find probable cause to dipute your claim of self defense, they can't arrest you. Even here in North Carolina, absent probable cause the police can't arrest you. And when the shooter's statement, the physical evidence, and the witness statements all line up to say that it was a lawful shoot, they shouldn't arrest you here in NC either.

UPDATE: His answer.
Thank you for sending this email. It's good to have this information.
I don't expect a lengthy answer from him, he has a real job and is off doing it. The fact that he read the email means he has a chance of knowing the facts next time. He also might call and ask for help.
Getting them to call and ask when they don't know the answer is half the battle.

Meanwhile in Sarah Brady Paradise: Guns, Grenades, and Gangs edition
I'll admit, we've got it pretty good here in the US. I can go and buy a rifle, shotgun, or pistol. But I've never been able to get a grenade! In fact, the only time I've even seen a live grenade is the time they let us throw them in basic training.
Apparently you can get them in (Formerly Great) Britain.
The gangsters who planted a hand grenade in the bushes outside Kenny Dalglish's home were jailed for life today, ending a merciless campaign of violence across the north of England.
The gang of five, led by Kirk Bradley and Anthony 'Fat Tony' Downes, both 26, was responsible for numerous shootings across Liverpool, a kidnapping in which they shot their victim and dumped him in woods and a string of bungled assassination attempts.
But their weapon of choice was more often the hand grenade whether they were carrying out their own violent vendettas against rival crooks, or doing the dirty work for unscrupulous kingpins within Liverpool's criminal underworld.
So if "Fat Tony" and his gang can get all the guns and grenades they like in order to set themselves up as underworld hitmen, what good is gun control doing? If criminals have guns and grenades, why bother preventing the honest residents from purchasing a pistol?
Unless crime reduction really isn't the goal of the exercise.
And by the way, two of the gang were convicted in absentia.
Downes and Bradley were convicted in absentia having gone on the run following a daring prison van escape before their trial.
Way to go British Police!

Fayetteville PD drops charges, seeks another in Club Ciroc shooting
The Fayetteville Police have decided that their suspect in the Club Ciroc shooting is not the killer.
Murder charges have been dropped against a Fayetteville man in connection with a shooting outside a local club and another suspect is now wanted.
I posted about this one before.
It looks like another criminal. Not really surprising that they suspect that criminals are responsible for crime.

Meanwhile in Sarah Brady Paradise: Dukinfield Drive By edition
Guns are next to impossible to get legally in (Formerly Great) Britain, so where did these people get their gun?
Gunshots were fired from a car in Dukinfield last night.
Officers were called to Lyne Edge Road after receiving calls saying that a number of men, travelling in a Renault Megane, had been seen brandishing a gun.
Police were told that shots had been fired before the vehicle drove off at about 6.50pm.

Armed officers attended the scene and searched the area. The car was found burned out nearby on Dunkirk Lane a short time later.
Gun control means that the criminals have guns while you and I are disarmed.

Appleseed is well worth the effort
This weekend was the long awaited Appleseed rifle clinic in Ramseur, NC. I have been planning one going for quite a while now. I bought my 10-22 rifle with money made by selling the Gunwalker T-Shirts, and decided to fill it full of aftermarket parts to turn it into a Liberty Training Rifle. After that, it was just a matter of making time to go. Since Chris and Heather of Arma Borealis moved to South Carolina, they suggested that we make it a blogger group and go to the Ramseur range, the home range of the Appleseeds.
In the end, we had 8 people.
Chris and Heather of Arma Borealis

Mr and Mrs. Knightbane's Manor
Arms are the Mark of a Free Man
Keads of Another Day…..Another…..
Appleseed is a lot of work. You're going to spend a lot of time on the firing line, shooting at some pretty small targets. The concentration necessary to do well is pretty wearing, but in the end, it will be worth it.
That's me receiving my Rifleman's patch from Walter. This is the third test (AQT) that I shot, and I scored 232 out of 250. Minimum score to pass is 210. I shot it again twice on Sunday with Bob Reynold's AR-15 and scored 225 both times. I think that once you get the hang of it, it gets easier.
Out of our group of 7, we had 4 people qualify Rifleman, Me, Mr. Knightbane, Heather, and Bob Owens. Chris shot a 209 several times, but could never find that last point to put him over the top. Mrs. Knightbane made progress, but will need to return to shoot some AQTs, and Arms are the Mark of a Free Man just need a few more tries to get it.
If you get a chance to go to an Appleseed, go. It's a good time, especially if you bring some friends with you. Pay attention to the rifle requirements. It is certainly possible to shoot a bolt action rifle, but you will be much happier with a 10-22 and a bag of ammo.

This story has WTF written all over it
Even if the cops don't really like the person you shot, they will eventually get you.
A Wilmington man was jailed Thursday night in the February shooting of a man who three weeks later allegedly led police on a chase in Brunswick County after dropping off a dying child at the hospital.
In February, the suspect shot two people. They both lived, but later…
(Victim 1), 26, is himself in jail in Brunswick County after dropping off (Child), 3, at the Brunswick Novant Medical Center and leaving when doctors told him the child died, according to court documents. When police tried to stop (Victim 1) he allegedly led them on a chase.
No charges have yet been filed in the child's death, but (Victim 1) is jailed after allegedly ramming two patrol cars and eluding officers.
And now they've indicted him on some serious drug charges. Read the whole thing, plus read the rap sheets. WTF!
I couldn't find the name of the second victim, so I have no idea if he's a criminal as well.
Bad things happen to bad people. It's because they hang out with other bad people doing bad things. Tam says it best.
ProTip: You could cut the chances of you getting a cap busted in your ass dramatically by the simple expedient of Not Being Involved In Gang-Related Activity In The Inner City Between The Hours Of 10PM And 4AM.
Sniff. I wish I could write stuff like that.

Meanwhile in Rebecca Peters Paradise: Robbing a Pet Store
Who robs a pet store? I mean, what are you going to get, besides a lot of dog food?
After using the store's phone he told a staff member he had a gun and demanded money, police said. He later fled the scene with a sum of cash.
If guns were expensive or difficult to get a hold of, street level robbers wouldn't have them. Only people who made a lot of money in crime could afford them. If even a pet store robber can get a gun, you know that gun control is an utter failure.

Shot with a "Military Style" rifle
It was a home invasion shooting, but luckily the victim will survive.
A home occupied by college students in a quiet neighborhood became the target of a violent home invasion in which one of the students was shot with a military-style rifle.
Four men were facing charges in the attack, which happened shortly after 4 a.m. Monday as the suspects kicked in the front door at 15 Meadowview Terrace, off Reems Creek Road.
Unusually for this sort of thing, there don't seem to be drugs involved. At least the cops aren't reporting it.
He said the intruders left quickly after stealing a backpack, a wallet and a few other items. Warrants at the Buncombe County magistrate's office estimated the total value of the items taken at $300.
So they were murderous incompetents who couldn't even find a lucrative score.
The shooter was Suspect 1, who was also the only person in the gang that the victim knew.
(Suspect 3) has pending court dates in April and May for traffic violations including speeding and driving with a revoked license.
So we have a person shot by a person he knew, so the anti-gunners will tout that in their statistics. They will conveniently forget to mention that he was already a felon with multiple convictions.

Meanwhile in Rebecca Peters Paradise: Drugs, Stolen Property, and a Gun edition
How exactly do the gun grabbers think we can control guns if the Australians can't? I mean, it's a big island, but it's still an island. It's not like foreign smugglers can walk there, right?
A lengthy drug investigation has culminated in the seizure of a haul of cannabis, ice pipes, ecstasy pills, amphetamine and a gun, police say.
The Drug Investigation Team raided a home in Franklin yesterday, after a six month long drug trafficking investigation.
Police say they found 30 grams of cannabis, 11 ice pipes, 10 suspected ecstasy pills, 20 grams of amphetamine, and an unregistered revolver with ammunition.
Welcome to the failure of gun control. It's examples like this that really point out how bad a failure it really is. They can't keep the drugs out, how can they expect to keep out the guns?
Maybe all they really want to do is disarm the law abiding. It certainly makes them easier to control, both for the government and for the criminals.

Ancient Riches, Modern Gambling
I was in Las Vegas over the weekend for my brother and newly-minted-sister-in-law's wedding. Although I did make a pilgrimage to Caesar's Palace, hanging with my favorite faux Prima Porta Augustus, I spent more time at the Mirage. Unlike Caesar's, Luxor, or Excalibur, the Mirage doesn't have a specific historical theme, so I was surprised at the sheer number and variety of historically-themed slot machines - and took pictures of all that I could find. In vague chronological order, we have:
Republican Rome and Ptolemaic Egypt (c. 1st century BC). In contrast to the god-themed slots, from the Roman era we get depictions of real people: Julius Caesar (I assume from the picture and the connection to Egypt) and Cleopatra, whose (green?) eyes are apparently the most recognizable part of her visage. Undoubtedly, Caesar and Cleopatra were wealthy, and they were the most powerful rulers of their day.
Classical Athens (c. 4th century BC). The Greek-themed slot machines all deal with a godly lineage: Kronos, a Titan and the father of Zeus, king of the gods and father of Apollo, god of the sun. The Greek god of wealth was Pluto, so the connection with ancient riches here is unclear: Kronos poses with a temple that has been erected for him, but Zeus and Apollo are depicted mostly as powerful rather than wealthy.
Republican Rome and Ptolemaic Egypt (c. 1st century BC). In contrast to the god-themed slots, from the Roman era we get depictions of real people: Julius Caesar (I assume from the picture and the connection to Egypt) and Cleopatra, whose (green?) eyes are apparently the most recognizable part of her visage. Undoubtedly, Caesar and Cleopatra were wealthy, and they were the most powerful rulers of their day.
Mayan Civilization (c. 3rd century AD). With the Mesoamericans, the slot machine has no iconic picture to convey the "riches" (and connection with gambling), which has to be specifically spelled out. In another screen shot, though, the riches in question include gold masks, gold coins, alligators, pots, a skull, and the pyramid at Chichen Itza:
Medieval Europe (c. 13th century AD). Very curiously, there are two slots whose theme involves Medieval times: the infamous knight Sir Lancelot, and the majestic hall to which heroes in Scandinavian mythology go. This period in European history was not exactly known for its wealth - with widespread serfdom, most people lived in crushing poverty. My assumption is that Lancelot and Valhalla evoke a kind of romanticism, an idea that the Medieval past was full of chivalrous acts by gallant men.
Aztec Empire (c. 15th-16th centuries AD). Like the Mayan-themed slot above, the Aztec one also specifically notes the civilization's "fortune," illustrated by a gold-colored pyramid. It's especially important to note here that the pyramid represented on the slot machine is almost certainly from Chichen Itza and therefore Mayan. When I think of the Aztecs, I think of smallpox and the Florentine Codex, but since the Spanish wanted to conquer them, I assume there is a connection to wealth and riches there.
Imperial China (c. 18th century AD?). Finally, I could only find one slot machine with a theme of wealth in Asia. Unlike all of the above, which reference American civilizations, Greek gods, European literary figures, and Roman and Egyptian elite, this one seems to be quite generic. I couldn't find any reference to a specific Golden Emperor, but I'm placing it chronologically in the Qing Dynasty. I would have assumed that the wealth of the East was the stuff of legend, what with the recent history of antiquities hunting along the Silk Road and finds like the tomb of the first Qin emperor and his terracotta army.
One theme that I assume connects all of these slot machines together is wealth, riches, or fortune. The two New World civilization ones make that connection explicit, but the rest rely on the assumption of a shared Western knowledge of Graeco-Roman history and Medieval mythology. Were ancient civilizations wealthy, though? Not really. The total GDP (wheat equivalent) of Classical Athens, for example, was 200,000 tons; the Roman Empire at its height was 50,000,000 tons. That sounds impressive until you realize that the GDP of the U.S. in 2009 was 66,000,000,000 tons (Scheidel 2011). Then again, Rome had a $43.4 billion GDP (in equivalent 1990 international dollars) (Scheidel and Friesen 2009), which is about the same as the GDP of, say, New Zealand in 1990.
The connection between riches and the ancient world seems tenuous to me and is based on a fetishization of past cultures, which have been divorced from their sociocultural context and reduced to their material trappings. These so-called riches and fortunes are based on our collective Western notions of what constitutes art and what is valuable. I did not see, for example, slot machines with themes of Native American or African cultures, those we still tend to view as "traditional" and "primitive." The ancient world that has been chosen as representative of historic riches is one that is predominately male, white, and European - a description that also applies to today's wealth distribution.
The theme of gambling itself may be the connection instead of wealth. Gambling existed in every culture that is referenced in the slot machines pictured above: Egyptian, Chinese, Mesoamerican, Greco-Roman, and Medieval European cultures all have long histories of guessing or betting on an outcome with money or other objects. Then again, Native Americans have a long history of gambling as well and are not represented in Vegas slot machine themes - perhaps because the culture is still alive in a way that the others aren't?
I'm sure that the choice of slot machine themes is not undertaken lightly in Las Vegas. After all, the psychological manipulation that occurs in order to entice gamblers to continue gambling is the stuff of legend and of reality. All the casinos that I traipsed through over the weekend had a variety of slot machines with a variety of themes - from Green Acres to American Idol, from Alfred Hitchcock to The Little Mermaid, from Greek gods to inaccurate Aztec temples - each designed to make a connection with a patron via some sliver of pop culture and to take that patron's money. But it was the machines with ancient themes that struck me as the most disingenuous. In those cultures, gambling was most often a social experience, far different from our contemporary form, which is pathologized, isolating, and psychologically and economically damaging. The appropriation of ancient cultures by slot machine manufacturers and their use by casinos in Las Vegas is not particularly surprising, but the choice of cultures, iconography, and fonts was particularly interesting to me as an anthropologist who works in the ancient world.

Stress can affect anyone, at any stage of their life. Are you one of the thousands of people suffering from stress? Hypnotherapy can really help you.
Hypnotherapy has helped thousands of people deal with stress, whether it is work-related, problems with your home life, or your personal life has taken a turn for the worse.
The UK's National Health Service website defines stress as "the feeling of being under too much mental or emotional pressure," while anxiety is "a feeling of unease, worry or fear."
Stress effects different people in different ways and treatments plans will be developed especially for you. I specialise in helping people to manage stress and regain a sense of calm and control.
Using hypnotherapy, I will help you to access inner resources that will enable you to cope more effectively in stressful situations. It will enable you to see situations differently, to remain calm under pressure and to remain present, think clearly and feel relaxed.
Stress results from a psychological and biological reaction to a perceived threat. A stress response includes an increase in blood pressure, pulse rate, energy levels, mental activity and muscle strength. The body is ready for action as it goes into "fight or flight" mode.
Stress is a natural part of life. Without stress, you would not be motivated to eat, work, have relationships, or get out of bed in the morning. It is when the amount of stress builds past the point of being comfortable, that most people start suffering from the symptoms of over stress.
Unfortunately, in today's harsh economic climate, people are working harder and longer, dealing with multiple stress factors, these factors can have an accumulative affect, and often issues outside our direct control contribute significantly to the problem. If stress is not dealt with while it is at a low level, the symptoms of stress can escalate to cause other problems such as anxiety and depression.
Hypnotherapy can help you to;
– Cope with stressful situations in a more calm and relaxed way
– Discover inner resources that help you to handle situations better
– Change your perception of stressful events and situations
– Behave, think and feel more calm and relaxed
– Move forward from or let go of a stressful event or experience
Often our reactions to stressful situations come from the subconscious mind, a place that we aren't consciously aware of or in control of. Using hypnotherapy, it's possible to speak directly to the subconscious, and regain control.
Symptoms of Stress
• Body tension
• Unable to relax
• Sleeplessness
• Poor appetite
• Digestive problems
• Excessive eating/drinking
• Excessive smoking
• Loss of sex drive
• Overspending
• Aggressive behaviour
• Road rage
• Snapping at people you love
• Agitation at small things
• Always being rushed, in a hurry, or late for appointments
• Unable to sit still and focus on a TV show, a conversation, or read
Hypnotherapy for stress management
If you have several of the above symptoms, it is very possible that you are suffering from being over stressed. Stress is one of the biggest threats to people's health, happiness, and well-being. Hypnotherapy for stress will tackle all of these issues in a powerful and effective way. Hypnotherapy for stress helps you to get a new outlook on life.
Hypnotherapy can help you to change the way you deal with the world around you and with situations. Imagine being able to deal with stressful situations in a calm, relaxed manner, confident in your ability to deal with whatever comes up.
My approach is caring and effective and I enjoy good results. My goal is to help you to achieve your goals in the shortest time possible, working at the root of the problem to produce long lasting change. Hypnosis for stress can really help you.

The City of Dallas has tapped Ericsson to help it control traffic lights and road signs in a boost to the troubled vendor.
The Texan municipality is installing a traffic management system based on the Swedish company's Connected Urban Transport solution.
This will provide real time data from sensors that can be used to enable it to improve traffic flow around the city.
Data can also be shared with other government departments, Ericsson said.
Implementation began at the end of 2017 with the system set to be fully operational by 2020.
Jeff Travers, Head of IoT, Ericsson, said: "The quality of a community's transportation infrastructure is a major factor in business and industry investment decisions.
"The Dallas metroplex is one of the fastest growing areas in the country.
"Our Connect Urban Transport solution will enable the city to manage growing traffic and increase driver safety more efficiently and at lower cost."
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed, but it provides a welcome boost to Ericsson's attempts to move beyond telecoms.
The vendor saw revenues fall to SEK144.1 billion in the first nine months of 2017, down from SEK157.4 billion in the corresponding period of 2016, while it made a operating loss of SEK18.4 billion versus a profit of SEK6.6 billion.
CEO Börje Ekholm is battling to turn around the performance of the company through a more targeted business model, cost savings and focus on profitability.

Date of Surgery: August 2, 2012
I had no pain and my scar is barely there. After my surgery all that I felt was wore out.
We got pregnant right away (6 weeks). At 30 weeks, we found out that my baby is an SUA baby (single umbilical artery). But my OB doctor is the best and kept on top of his growth and levels and he was born very healthy. He was a little jaundice, but that has gone away.
We are so grateful for Dr.Rosenfeld for helping us get pregnant. As this is my husbands first natural son. I can't say enough thank you!!!!!!
