A 70-year-old female dialysis patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention using the right common femoral approach because of effort angina. She reported pain and a hematoma in the right femoral region a few hours after compression by hand. Abdominal computed tomographic angiography showed a pseudoaneurysm and retroperitoneal bleeding near the right common femoral artery. We attempted hemostasis for the pseudoaneurysm without an anticoagulant agent, but we could not stop the bleeding with hand compression and balloon inflation (Figure 1A). Hence, we attempted a novel method of hemostasis for the pseudoaneurysm. First, the sheath was inserted and approximately 20 ml of the patient's own blood was drawn. This autologous blood was separated into serum and clotted blood, and the clotted blood was subsequently transferred into a syringe (Figure 1B). After we confirmed the pseudoaneurysm by angiography, the syringe with an 18-gauge needle was advanced while applying negative pressure toward the pseudoaneurysm. The draining site of the contrast medium was within the pseudoaneurysm, so we injected the clotted autologous blood directly into the pseudoaneurysm while inflating the balloon (Figure 1C). Hemostasis was successful immediately after injection of the clotted blood (Figure 1D). We speculated that the blood flow into the pseudoaneurysm became stagnated by the injection of the blood clot, and the fibrin contained in the clot promoted hemostasis.
Hemostasis by direct injection of thrombin reportedly has a high success rate, but complications can occur, such as thrombosis and allergies (1,2). Hemostasis by autologous blood is simpler and safer than that by thrombin with respect to the occurrence of thrombosis due to intra-arterial infusion and allergy. Hemostasis using clotted autologous blood may become an effective treatment for some pseudoaneurysms for which it is difficult to stop bleeding.

You make life hell for everyone then walk away unscathed. What gives you the fucking right to think you can treat people this way? Well one day the wrath will come and justice will be served. The vengeance will find you and you'll get what you deserve. Peddle your shit elsewhere I'm not buying your deception. No longer will I falter. You can't alter my perception. I can see just who you are... what you do. I can see my only option is to not see you. I suffered with a smile all the while as you played your game. We had something, now it's nothing. It'll never be the same. I may have loved you back then but now I fuckin' hate you. You lied whenever you cried, and now I castigate you.

Salaries for IT professionals increased in the past year; bonuses were significant for those who earned them
Times are hard all around. But a recent survey conducted by TechRepublic suggests the information technology profession is doing all right in the current recession. The survey of 14,000 IT professionals found that salaries increased from 2008 to 2009. And although the percentage of those receiving raises and bonuses dipped, those who did get the extra cash got more of it. An analyst at Global Knowledge speculated that some organizations are saving IT jobs by using technology to streamline operations and help reduce the number of positions needed in other departments.

When in doubt, look to the stars. In our Shop Your Sign series we pair an original horoscope for every astrological sign, with related (and fated) Etsy finds.
Whether you're the type who obsessively checks your daily horoscope, rolls your eyes whenever your friend bemoans the current Mercury retrograde, or falls somewhere in between on the zodiac devotee/skeptic scale, there's one thing we can all agree on: Any excuse to gift yourself a special new something is always welcome. So why not use some star power to guide your next purchase? This month, we're focusing on dreamy, compassionate, and emotional (yes, sometimes to a fault) Pisces. After a round through the astrological wringer, clearer skies—and a newfound personal liberty—are on the horizon for this water sign. Here's what they can expect for the coming year:
Pisces (February 19-March 20): Pisces, you're the caregiver of the zodiac. You've had some tough years, and now's your chance to feel that support come back around. 2018 is your year to be free. This year, you're feeling lighter and happier. It's a brand new day. Enjoy this freedom—and the travel opportunities that are sure to come with it. You've earned it.
Read on to discover Pisces's must-have items for the year ahead, carefully curated to reflect their trademark creativity, sensitivity, and charm.
A sweater to love
It's true: Pisces hasn't had the easiest go of it recently. But now the tide is turning, and they're due for some serious self-indulgence. And there probably isn't a more deserving sign in the zodiac: These folks are pros at showing love to others. With Plexida's plush hand-knit sweater, they can finally give themselves some much-needed coziness, too. Its flirty crop waist and loose, breathable weave make this a feel-good piece for any sign to rock all year long.
A one-of-a-kind hair accessory
If you know a Pisces, you know their inclination to emotional extremes—there's no such thing as "kinda happy" or "sorta sad." No color captures the combination of hot and cold quite like purple, with its marriage of fiery red and cool blue, so it's only fitting that amethyst is the Pisces birthstone. Here, the head-turning rock takes center stage in an elegant brass hair pin crafted by Julie Stull of J.E.S Designs. Use the delicate piece to add some attitude to a bun or a pony, or swap it in the next time you reach for a run-of-the mill barrette.
A motivational art print
Carpe diem, YOLO…whatever your chosen catchphrase, this year Pisces is all about finding freedom from old hang-ups. Take a page from their self-assured book, and celebrate putting a premium on your own thoughts and feelings with a bold print from Recipes For Self Love. (Think self empowerment mantras–turned–statement art.) The "Be Yourself, Be Seen, Be Heard" refrain will remind any sign to listen to their inner truth, while the vibrant colors will tap into the creative virtuoso inside every Pisces.
A postcard with purpose
Study your cosmic energy essentials with a crystal postcard from Ukraine-based designer Nascens Luna that doubles as a handy cheat sheet to your astrological talismans. Pisces's go-tos? Moonstone, which is said to counterbalance negative self-talk and protect you while you're jet-setting; calming abalone shell; and aquamarine, which is believed to promote healing and has long been a favorite crystal for seafarers—in other words, perfect for the quintessential water sign.
A tailored sunglasses case
A refreshed confidence, a renewed support circle, upcoming trips galore: 2018 holds an especially sunny outlook for Pisces. And if you're hoping to tag along on their next adventure, you're going to need a major pair of shades to handle all the brightness in store, along with a chic case to protect them. Sleek and understated are Pisces's buzzwords when it comes to style and Annie Bukhman's all-natural leather cases, available in three classic shades, fit that vibe to a T. And since the hand-cut leather evolves with wear, no two cases will be alike—perfectly in line with Pisces's individualistic M.O.
A lavish bath set
After a whirlwind 2017, Pisces has earned a serious breather—and for the relaxation-loving dreamer of the zodiac, nothing hits the spot quite like a long, luxurious spa sesh. Follow their lead and pamper yourself from head to toe with a customizable bath set from Evy Jo & Co, which is as countertop-worthy as it is rejuvenating. Choose from bath salts (in pink Himalayan salt, green tea, coconut milk, or black sea salt options), a therapeutic body oil (with a soft jasmine or reviving patchouli base), a rich soap crafted with charcoal or green tea, a glow-inducing clay mask, and a hydrating lip balm available in three equally delish flavors. Can you say "Ahhh"?

The $2.4 billion Level Crossing Removal project, which aims to remove 50 congested and dangerous level crossings in Melbourne, will be fast-tracked over the Easter period. Three of the worst level crossings in the area - North Road in Ormond, McKinnon Road in McKinnon and Centre Road in Bentleigh - will be removed months ahead of schedule.
Yesterday morning, Premier Daniel Andrews joined Minister for Roads Luke Donnellan at McKinnon Road level crossing during the morning peak where boom gates were down for more than 45 minutes.
As the Easter holiday period is quieter, construction crews will take advantage of this time to lay bridge decks at Centre and McKinnon Roads. This will enable the flow of traffic while the lowered train line is being dug underneath.
"More than 500 staff will work round the clock this Easter, so these dangerous crossings are gone and these new stations are built months ahead of schedule – we're getting on with it." – Premier Daniel Andrews
Image source: Level Crossings Removal Authority
Buses will be replacing trains on sections of the Frankston line starting 25th March until 5th April as this will allow works to be done efficiently and safely. On the other hand, Centre and McKinnon Road will be closed starting late on 24th March until 5AM on 5th April.
McKinnon and Ormond Stations will be closed for four to five months so they can be demolished and rebuilt completely. The trains will be replaced by buses on this section of the Frankston line.
Early in June, Bentleigh Station will be closed for rebuilding. All three stations – Mckinnon, Ormond and Bentleigh – are due to open ahead of schedule right by the beginning of the 2016 Australian Football League finals. The congested and dangerous level crossing will also be gone by then.
"I thank locals and passengers for their patience while we get rid of these congested death-traps. There will be disruption, but it's nothing compared to the congestion, delay and distress these crossings cause every day." – Minister Luke Donnellan
Construction works in St Albans will be done over the Easter holidays as well. Furlong Road will be closed starting 27th March to 18th April. Bus or train services will not be affected.
This coming weekend, a short construction campaign will impact services as well. Buses will replace trains between Caulfield and Mordialloc stations starting 4th March at 7PM until the last service on 6th March. On the other hand, Centre Road will be closed out this weekend to allow construction works to be done safely.
The removal of at least 20 out of 50 level crossings will be completed by 2018. Construction is well underway on several sites. Level Crossing Authority has listed the various sites included in the project. You can check out the full list here.

As I read the archived article, Just what is a blog, anyway? by Michael Conniff, in Online Journalism Review. I remember the reaction of a friend when I asked her if she has blog. What? What —- is that?
I had no ready answer. I said, blog is (for me) a journal online – though I was not sure of my answer.
I could have typed define: blog in the Google's search field. I could have copied and pasted the Wiki's definition of blog. But I didn't. I found it inappropriate.
I am new to blogging. And I am quite sure that what I do is blogging – and I am a new blogger. My blog, Ambot lang! is one of millions of blog on Earth.
According to Wikipedia, citing its source, Technorati, there are 71 million blogs in May 2007. That's almost equal to the entire population of the Philippines. And there may be more not tracked by Technorati!
The figure is amazing! There are many blogs on Earth but I observe that many still don't understand what a blog is.
In Friendster, one can create a blog account. But some of my contacts' blogs are "copy and paste"! (Most don't attribute sources.)
Now, let's go back to the question, what is blog?
For Wikipedia:
A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and displayed in reverse chronological order.
For Webopedia:
A blog is a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author.
Michael Conniff quoting Jason Calcanis mentioned the three features of blog:
- chronological order
- unfiltered content
- comments
For Jeff Jarvis as quoted in Just what is a blog, anyway?:
There is no need to define 'blog.' …A blog is merely a tool that lets you do anything from change the world to share your shopping list. People will use it however they wish. And it is way too soon in the invention of uses for this tool to limit it with a set definition. ..Blogs are whatever they want to be. Blogs are whatever we make them. Defining 'blog' is a fool's errand.
I agree Jarvis' contention. Now, I don't worry if I can't define blog instantly. I can tell you common features of blog.
If some ask me again, what is blog, I will tell him:
Read my blog. It's a blog. If you read my blog, you will get an idea what a blog is. If you explore other blogs, you will begin to understand what is blog.
Forget your desire to define the word, blog!

Spook of Spooks
Deception: The Invisible War Between the KGB and the CIA
"The threat" was James Jesus Angleton's preferred term for the Soviet Union during his twenty years as chief of the CIA's Counterintelligence Staff. He did not distinguish between the country itself and the Soviet Union's Committee for State Security, the KGB and its allied intelligence services in Eastern Europe. Angleton was a convinced man, and for a dozen years, until his forced retirement in 1974, he had the intelligence services of the West tied up in knots trying to prove that the chief instrument of "the threat" was deception on the grand scale. This deception consisted of a twin effort to penetrate and ultimately to control Western intelligence services, and to divide and disarm the West politically through agents of influence and the artful manipulation of events and appearances. For years, to take a notorious example, Angleton claimed that the apparent split between the Soviet Union and China was a brilliantly conceived act of deception. How the Soviets planned to exploit this deception was something Angleton never spelled out exactly; he never spelled out anything so far as I know. But he suspected the worst—not surprise attack and nuclear war, but a kind of slow chipping away at the independence of Soviet neighbors in everwidening circles.
That puts it more baldly than Edward Jay Epstein does in his new book Deception: The Invisible War Between the KGB and the CIA, a richly suggestive but ultimately inconclusive work, which comes closer than Angleton himself ever did to laying out his case for the dark view of Soviet intentions. The book is important in two ways: as a contribution to the biography of Angleton, perhaps the most interesting and certainly the most divisive figure in the history of American intelligence; and as an argument for thinking twice before accepting Mikhail Gorbachev's glasnost as evidence that the cold war is over. It is the result of ten years of the author's elliptical conversations with Angleton before his death in May 1987, of Epstein's exceptional lay expertise in the history of postwar counter-intelligence, and of much reflection on Sun Tzu's fifth-century BC classic, The Art of War. It was Angleton who suggested Sun Tzu's book to Epstein when he wanted to know what use KGB deception could be in a world armed with nuclear weapons—a characteristically circuitous answer.
But it is a very good suggestion. Unlike Angleton, Sun Tzu is very much to the point. "All warfare is based on deception," he says.
Therefore, when capable, feign incapacity; when active, inactivity, When near, make it appear that you are far away…. Anger his general and confuse him. Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance. Keep him under a strain and wear him down.
Epstein implies, but does not quite say, that this is a good description of the strategy that may lie behind the face Russia is presenting to the world under Gorbachev—a weak…

Lincoln, Phoenix Property Company and Paragon Announce Six New Leases for Runway at Playa Vista
- By
- Nov 25, 2013
A trio of companies that are currently in charge of the development process for a major Los Angeles retail project recently announced a number of new leasing agreements. Lincoln Property Company, Phoenix Property Company and Paragon Commercial Group have agreed on terms with six new tenants for space at their Runway at Playa Vista retail center, currently underway. The property's tenant roster will add the names Chase Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Lyfe Kitchen, Panini Café, Hopdoddy Burger Bar and Sol Cocina. According to the developers, an influx of fashion retailers signing leases at the Runway is expected in the near future.
The new names at the Runway will occupy approximately 25,000 square feet out of the total 220,000 square feet of retail planned for the mixed-use development. Also planned for the site are 420 apartments and around 35,000 square feet of office space. The space will be divided into three distinct buildings featuring a modern design by architect Johnson Fain.
An emphasis will be put on outdoor space, water features, common areas and firepits. Also important in the design scheme is the link between the Runway at Playa Vista development and the nearby Linear Park. The multifamily sector is booming in the Playa Vista community, with figures for the area's build-out pointing towards 2,600 for-sale and apartment homes, according to a recently issued press statement. Additionally, 200 independent/assisted living homes as well as more office space and new parks and open space will be developed in the area.
With a number of tenants already locked down including names such as Whole Foods, CVS Pharmacy and Veggie Grill, as well as entertainment companies such as Cinemark, set to open a new nine-screen multiplex, the property seems to be thriving while still in development. The project is located in one of the fastest growing submarkets of the greater Los Angeles area—Playa Vista is already garnering names such as "Silicon Beach 2.0" and "lower Westside".

Everyone needs to take care of their teeth and there is only so much you can do at home with brushing and flossing. Regular checkups and professional dental hygiene care. Prince George Dr. Richard Wilczek offers patients the necessary attention and education they need to maintain optimum oral health. Good dental hygiene is a key factor in maintaining healthy gums and teeth and we provide a range of services to help including:
Home Dental Hygiene Best Practices
Brushing is recommended at least twice a day and is encouraged after each meal, because bacteria can become more active soon after eating. Flossing is important to reach the areas where your toothbrush cannot. It can reduce the buildup of plaque between your teeth and reduce the risk of gum disease.
Professional Cleaning
Brushing and flossing are important to keeping your mouth healthy and dental hygiene at optimum levels, but these measures do not remove all stains or plaque from your teeth. We recommend coming in for a professional cleaning every 6 months to ensure your teeth and gums are at their best.
Dental Hygiene for Children
Letting your child become acquainted with your dental office is an important way to establish healthy dental care habits. It also allows dentists to perform visual inspections and provide instructions for optimal hygiene practices. Checkups early on can detect any possible problems and allows for the review of your child's oral development. We recommend bringing your child to the dentist when they are at 1 year of age.
For all your dental health needs, call the experienced team at the office of Dr. Richard Wilczek. We have a full range of dental hygiene services to keep your mouth healthy and your teeth looking great. If you have other more serious issues with your oral health, talk to us about it. Even serious problems, like missing teeth or a misaligned bite, can be resolved with professional care. Talk to our dentists about the cosmetic, restorative, and specialized treatments we have available including dental implants, orthodontics, and teeth whitening.
Not sure how to start? Call our office today and we will be glad to guide you through the process and have you on the positive road to strong dental health.

There are some really sad places on earth. Countries torn by war and violence. Countries reeling under poverty. Those places are truly depressing. But there are also places stuck in perpetual despair, but only by name. A new Instagram account called Sad Topographies by Australian artist Damien Rudd is dedicated to showcasing these places.
"I initially came across a place in Australia … called Mount Hopeless. The name kind of caught me off guard and I decided to come back later and research it," Damien Rudd told CBC. "I actually found that there were many more places that had surprisingly depressing names. That kind of got me started on the project."

Local Scoop
William Penn High School Sold to Temple
Feature image courtesy of hiddencityphila.org
The William Penn High School located on the 1300 block of N. Broad St. was just sold to Temple University for a cool $15 million. The School Reform Commission "temporarily" closed the school in 2009 but that status changed to permanent once the deal was finalized yesterday.
When the the SRC originally closed the school 5 years ago there were talks of reopening the school as a career and technical academy. However, those hopes are dashed and Temple University continues to expand its North Philly campus. Currently Temple has plans to raze part of William Penn and turn it into an athletic field and recreational space for students.
Although there seems to be tension in the community due to false promises of reopening the school for high school students, part of the structure will house a job-training academy run by the Laborers' District Council Education and Training/Apprenticeship Fund and will offer job training and general education topics to the local community.
Temple University President Neil D. Theobald released a statement saying the sale of the building will be put to good use. He went on to say, "With an LDC job-training academy in the heart of North Philadelphia, many more residents will have convenient access to a range of pathways to success."
So although the story book ending of the reopening of the high school didn't go as originally planned both Temple students and community members in need of job training will benefit from this recent acquisition.

Supporting children and young people with CHARGE Syndrome
Supporting children and young people with CHARGE Syndrome
At Seashell Trust we support children and young people with some of the most complex needs in the country. Our multidisciplinary staff teams are specialised in a range of rare or low incidence conditions, including CHARGE syndrome. Here we talk about what it means for a child to have CHARGE syndrome and we highlight the work of our dedicated therapy teams who build independence in young people with the condition and support them to lead more fulfilling lives.
What is CHARGE Syndrome?
CHARGE syndrome is a genetic disorder where a number of symptoms are seen together and affects around one in every 10,000 births. The name CHARGE is made from the initials of the main symptoms of the condition, which include heart defects, eye problems and hearing impairment and children may not grow and develop at the same rate as other children their age.
The condition affects all of the senses and general body awareness which can cause significant difficulties for children in making sense of the environment they are in. Without input from all their senses individuals tend to be more withdrawn from activities and do not actively seek items to explore, which can restrict their learning and engagement potential. Developing communication skills can also be an issue and they may struggle to move around confidently and have difficulties with fine and gross motor skills. Everyday tasks which we take for granted such as making a cup of tea, or walking up stairs can be hugely challenging.
How our therapists help
Every child at Seashell receives an in depth assessment by our therapy team so they can plan a strategy to support the young person going forward. For those young people with CHARGE, the team focuses on establishing how their hearing and vision are affected, their current communication skills, symbolic understanding and can also assess how they engage with technology which could support them.
Emily is one of our specialist occupational therapists and works with children with CHARGE to help them to maximise use of their senses and integrate these to undertake everyday tasks. Supporting young people to gain this feedback and have their sensory needs met in a controlled and highly personalised way means they feel more in control of their own body, and more able to use it for functional tasks. It improves emotional and mental wellbeing as young people feel better regulated with less periods of distress, enabling them to try a wider range of activities.
Our therapy team have introduced hi-tech Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to some of our learners with CHARGE, resulting in improved expressive communication skills. Our therapy team have observed an increase in the vocabulary and the functions of language used by these learners.
Our award winning specialist speech and language therapist Beccy Timbers is currently researching the use of different AAC systems and their impact on the expressive communication in those with CHARGE Syndrome, previously an area of limited understanding. This project will contribute to the evidence base by investigating the potential of different AAC systems for learners with CHARGE and their effects on spontaneous expressive communication.
CHARGE syndrome is a complex condition which requires a multidisciplinary approach for each child. It is so important that all of the areas affected are identified in order to support young people to become effective learners and communicators and reach their full potential.
Our Therapy Team can help your organisation to be more supportive and inclusive of children and young people with complex needs. To find out more please visit our Outreach pages, call us on 0161 610 0741 or email: email@example.com
The team are holding a number of training events over the next few months covering topics including visual support for people with autism and/ or learning disabilities, yoga and mindfulness for autism, supporting expressive communication, sensory diets and understanding the impact of the environment for children with autism.

Post-It Linky Party
Here's one way I do:
I have a poster (I'll take a photo when I get back to school and add it here) that has a parking lot on it. It also has "Questions? Comments? Concerns?" with space for post-its to be stuck on it. Students can get a "sticky note" and write down their troubles. These will be discussed at the end of the day before recess. Some students like to post lots of nonsense questions at first. They will stop when the others get upset with them for our "Wrap-Up" running over into RECESS! :D
Here's another way:
We also have a game called SCOOT! Anyone out there play SCOOT? I run the answer sheet for SCOOT front to back and put Post-Its on each desk. The Post-It note has the problem number, then a problem which the student answers in the box with the corresponding number. Students have one minute to solve the problem, then I call out "SCOOT!" and they scoot to the next desk. We continue until each child has been to each desk. I put out the first Post-It set, and we "SCOOT!" When everyone has been to each desk, I put out the second set of Post-Its (a different color), students flip to the other side of their paper, and we "SCOOT!" again before going over all the answers for both games. This is a wonderful way to review before testing and my teaching buddy and I switch students to give the children a break as well. It helps to keep them motivated and enjoying learning! We did this lots before I got a Promethean Board (smartboard?) so that my students had an opportunity to experience the technology. The children loved switching!
NOTE: Before you play SCOOT for the first time, have the children scoot around going to each desk so they can learn where to move each time for less confusion...especially with second grade and younger. :) I will attach a copy of the SCOOT document or e-mail it to you...just comment. I'd go ahead and do that now, but my copy of SCOOT is at school...
UPDATE: Because I have no idea how to attach a document for you to download, please leave your e-mail if you'd like a copy of my SCOOT doc. (Any help in solving this problem will be greatly appreciated! I know it has to be something soooo simple...) You can make your own xls spreadsheet with number boxes and put a header with SCOOT and a couple of cute pix if you prefer. :) Happy SCOOTing!

IN the run up to Halloween Newcastle 2012 events, we're speaking to Newcastle-based horror writer Stephen Laws, who's sharing a dark tale of supernatural goings-on to get us in the mood for Halloween 2012.
'He Who Laughs' is the story of Martin Rogers, who is a student of humour, and his hero is a court jester from the Middle Ages – Tom Fool. By studying the ancient manuscripts, Martin has been able to find the location of a crypt where the remains of Tom Fool are thought to be buried, and he has asked his friend Peter to assist him in digging it up...
Stephen has read us the climax from 'He Who Laughs' and we'll be sharing a bit of the extract each day in the run-up to Halloween Newcastle 2012.
Today is Part Three.
Part One is here.
Part Two is here.

After our somewhat energetic vocabulary review yesterday, I thought I would check in with my students to see what they took away from the activity. And, since I can never stop at just one question, I also asked them if they felt prepared for the test (to be given the day after tomorrow) and whether or not we should have spent more time in class reviewing for the test. I was curious, as so many of them clearly had little memory of the meanings of these words we have been working with all semester (obviously not working enough.)
The reviews of the activity were consistently positive, ranging from "It was great to get out of my seat and wake up" to "It made me realize how many of the words I am not sure of." Students were from "40%" to "80%" prepared for the test, even if they had just acknowledged in the previous question that they didn't know the words. Yet. That knowledge front is moving in fast though, and they're going to be so ready, because they really want to get an A on that test.
But it was the response to the last question (should we have spent more time reviewing in class) that got me pondering. Although a few students thought that more review would have helped, the vast majority felt that it was up to them to do the studying. Well, yes. It is up to them. But clearly that isn't enough to get them to actually do it. Far too many of them are planning to learn 77 words in two nights. So what can I, as a basic skills instructor (reading, writing and study skills) do to help them get more successful in their new roles as college students? I feel like there is some motivational secret key out there somewhere, and I just haven't found it yet. Active learning, inquiry-based, community-building, all buzz words that I deeply believe in. But there is another piece out there and, even though I haven't found it yet, I am convinced it is there and waiting to be found. My Eureka! moment is impending.

The close relationship between Tropical Medicine and Military Medicine is little appreciated by others than those immediately concerned with the health of the forces, except when periods of emergency require the expedition of men into the warm countries. At such times the special problems in sanitation, public health, and clinical medicine achieve an unaccustomed dignity and importance, secondary only to the major strategic plans of the General Staffs. This relationship, moreover, is more than one of mutual responsibility. It is one of common origin. Sir Patrick Manson is frequently referred to as the "father of tropical medicine" because he initiated the era of clinical and scientific investigation. In point of fact both fields of medicine may be said to originate from the experiences of the British Army in the Crimea and in India in the middle of the last century. And both Tropical Medicine and Military Medicine have a common parent.

The interior of the new Closed For Business is all blonde wood and warm lighting, a marked contrast to the sultry vibe of the former Raval. But the reimagining of the space is a good one. Raval's business came from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. — Closed For Business is looking for a more balanced approach, serving lunch, dinner, and late night. The grown-up focus on craft beers and aged bourbons is attracting a well-heeled clientele trolling for good food and a place for conversation rather than body shots and hotties to grind against. The menu of bar fare is basic but well executed by Executive Chef Kevin Johnson, formerly of Anson, with creative items like poutine and pork rinds, and the beer menu is balanced with a variety of choices and sizes.

MMA is a fantastic sport for people of all ages. If you're like most people who are interested in trying out MMA, you might be a bit intimidated by the process. Rest assured, this is completely normal and that, at Alliance Gym, we're accustomed to helping people get past their nerves. Still, the following are some helpful hints to keep in mind when you first start.
Be Patient
Most people aren't naturals when it comes to MMA, especially if they never did any kind of martial arts as a kid.
A lot of what you learn will seem counterintuitive at first. It will take time for your mind and body to sync up and really learn a lot of the basics.
Again, this is to be expected. Have fun with it nonetheless. If you can force yourself to be patient, keep realistic goals and continue to show up, you'll all of a sudden notice yourself moving past sticking points with ease.
Work on Your Endurance
Go for long runs, do sprints and jump rope to work up your cardio. Knock out high reps of body squats and burpees. These exercises will help you train longer and stay in fights when your opponent's body begins to break down.
Spar, Spar, Spar
Nothing can replace the importance of regular sparring practice. For one thing, while the exercises we mentioned above are great, practicing what you'll actually be doing in the ring or cage is ideal. You're literally performing the movements you'll be using as a fighter.
Regular sparring also helps you gain control over your nerves. Everyone is nervous the first time they square off against an opponent. A lot of great fighters have even admitted that the fear never truly goes away. By regularly sparring, though, you'll definitely get better at dealing with them.
Compete Whenever Possible
Once you've been given clearance to compete, you should look for every opportunity to do so. It doesn't necessarily have to be MMA either. You can find boxing matches, Muay Thai smokers and submission competitions every month.
This will have the same effect as regular sparring sessions as far as your nerves are concerned. However, knowing you have an upcoming competition will also ensure you're always showing up to practice and giving it your all with a goal in mind.
Take Care of Your Body
MMA is going to ask a lot of you. Fortunately, it will give a lot back in return, both physically and mentally.
Still, you need to take care of your body or eventually it will give out on you—this is true at any age.
Working out is important, but make sure you're getting enough sleep too. Drink lots of water throughout the day or you'll begin cramping up at practice. Stretch in the morning and right before training. Eat a balanced diet that has plenty of protein and healthy carbs, and begin ditching guilty pleasures that don't provide the fuel your body needs.
If you really commit, MMA can be one of the most rewarding things you ever do. To begin, keep the above tips in mind and you'll have a much easier time.

An Exploratory Study of Project Selection in Donor Funded Development Programme (Management Project Topics)
International Development Programmes (IDPs) are United Nations' (UN) and developed countries' initiatives to develop world's least developed countries. IDPs significantly vary from other mainstream project management topics, as most often they do not have eye for commercial success or are not of simple charity nature of humanitarian perspective aid.
Projects under IDPstry to deliver United Nations' and rich countries commitment to provide sustainable development to developing world in terms of reducing poverty and hunger, improving health and education system, building capacity to face disasters, eliminating gender discrimination, among others.
This significant difference and lack of research in this field has left a gap in established project management methodologies that could be generalised as specifically suitable for IDPs.The knowledge of project selection methodologies has reached to its extreme variety, as it spreads from the simplest model of a checklist to the highest degree mathematical model.
Leading researchers in the field have come to conclusion that project selection methods have to match the needs of a specific programme or portfolio to serve its purpose. The uniqueness of IDPs intensified the necessity of choosing projects by understanding the financial and strategic benefit they can deliver matching their resource requirement.
In absence of straight direction in the research and real life case observations, the practice in project selection in IDPs has not still been an established procedure.To explore this need the authors of this report examined the theoretical framework of project selection and their compliance with IDPs unique characteristics. Project selection methods showed that due to organisations' varied need of delivering financial or strategic objectives, the selection models significantly vary.
The use of different financial or strategic criteria with different emphasis on them is highlighted in project selection articles. Further analysis was focused on project selection stages and possible challenges evolving in the selection process.The researchers tried to explore project selection methods used in IDPs in Bangladesh by analyzing four different cases.
The examination of the project selection process showed that it mainly follows the multi-stage assessment procedure, with project evaluation conducted by the assessment panel, comprised from the functional experts and in some cases stakeholders' representatives.
Further, from the findings it was evident that the primary theoretical suggestions for IDPs project selection methods being strategy driven rather than being commercial in nature is true. In all four cases, the researchers have seen the selectors using scoring and ranking model that are specifically designed with higher emphasis on the strategic factors, and that try to deliver development objective rather than contributing to commercial success.
In addition, the challenges in IDP project selection practice are also discussed. Challenges like delivering development needs while trying to make the project sustainable in the long run, managing the powerful influence of different stakeholders in selecting projects, avoiding country politics, among others are making the project selection more difficult.
The main contribution of this research has been establishing a primary selection framework from case evidence with suggestions on appropriate model, set of criteria which can be used and a set of challenges to be aware of. The study is presented as a basis for further research in this field.

Alpha lipoic acid might not be a widely known nutrient the likes of vitamin C or calcium, but it is nonetheless a heavy hitter within the well being department. This is accomplished by educating the public, providing companies, and by imposing public health laws by way of the various permitted programs we offer and inspect. On January 31, 2008, Lt. Governor Casey Cagle announced the introduction of two healthcare initiatives within the state's legislature: the Healthcare Safety Web and the Georgia Health Market.
The Anti-Kickback statute creates a protective umbrella, a zone wherein patients are protected in order that the most effective health care is supplied. Department nurses provide education and assist on quite a lot of pregnancy and parenting-related topics. In 1953, that company was reorganized and its health capabilities were elevated to a cabinet-level place to ascertain the United States Department of Health, Training and Welfare (HEW), which was renamed in 1980 to turn into the current and modern United States Division of Health and Human Providers (HHS).
The Energetic Ageing program affords low-price foot care and blood strain screening, home visitations, and educational presentations. Targets of this system are to promote healthy families, empower mother and father via schooling and help, enhance breastfeeding success, and develop group connections. Tell us what you suppose and provides us suggestions regarding services you've got obtained from the Monroe County Well being Division.
The Hardy County Health Division plans applications, supplies evaluation, technical assistance and observe-up, delivers and administers providers to all individuals in the county in step with the statutory requirements of the WV Board of Well being. Should you intend to set up your vending cart enterprise in a public place, you should receive a permit to operate from your native police division.
The Victoria County Public Well being Division might be a recognized chief in advancing the health and security of the group. The tendency to introduce each reorganisation earlier than its predecessor has had time to cool down and generate improved performance has attracted censure amongst healthcare professions within the UK and beyond, together with reference to the ironic concept of 'redisorganization'.

As Peter remarked, "It can be hard to talk about art because, as with so many other 'big words,' there is little agreement as to what it is." The same, I find, is true for "spiritual." Many people I know prefer that term because it feels more encompassing of experience than does the word "religious," which is generally identified with the rites and rituals of institutionalized systems. One exception is how British-born U.S. lawyer Louis Nizer (1902-1994) described religion: True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess.
The broad nature of "spirituality" lends itself to diverse meanings. Peter defines spirituality as "engaging, in profoundly serious fashion, with the core of life" and describes an artist who has done so as someone who "invites the viewer/listener/reader/etc. to do the same--in other words, to be more truly and deeply alive in the moment, which is always unutterably precious."
Questions and Comments:
What is "real" or "true" art for you? Does it have to include a spiritual aspect? How do you define it?
What artists appeal to your sense of spirituality? Which particular works reflect it?
Do you have a spiritual intention in your own art practice? If so, what is it?

With so many travel blogs around you might be wondering what it's like to be a blogger and you might even be considering this path for yourself.
2017 has been a transitional year for us. After 12 years of living in Ireland, we moved to Prague in the Czech Republic. It was a big change, but we are glad that we made this move – we are loving the life in Prague now. You might have noticed that we have been quiet on our blog for a while, but we just needed to take a break to settle down and decide what's next for us.
Our blog TravelFromSquareOne.com celebrated its first birthday a while ago so we took our time to look back and think about our journey as travel bloggers.
Here are six lessons that we have learnt:
Travel Becomes Work
The way we approach travelling is different now. Our travel style hasn't changed, we still like discovering new places and experiences, but our trips are no longer just about having a good time. We need to keep our blog in mind now – think about what could be interesting for our readers or which photos would look good on Instagram.
While on the road, we have to stay productive so that we come back home with enough material to write about. Thinking ahead and planning make it easier but leave less room for spontaneity.

A travel blogger's life is not just about enjoying the beach and various adventures, but also about working in the evening instead of going out, constantly posting on social media and spending more of the precious holiday time on taking photos. It's a constant struggle of trying to balance work and holiday time.
Work Never Ends
If you want to succeed in the online world, you need to produce a good-quality content on your blog and social media consistently and often. If you don't, you will lose your rankings on search engines and social media fast, which means that your posts will be seen by fewer people and your traffic will go down.
There is so much more to be done than just to write posts about your holidays. You need to spend time on search engine optimization (SEO), growing an email list, increasing blog traffic and number of followers, looking for ways to earn money, and so on.
Even if you work 24 hours a day for 365 days in a year, the work never seems to end and the to-do list is always growing.
It's a Learning Curve
Unless you have been already working in the industry for a while, you will have to learn all the technical stuff to keep your website going: marketing to be able to promote yourself, writing to make your articles interesting, photography to get people's attention, and so on.
Also, things change fast so when you figure something out, it may not work in a month or two anymore. Social media (Facebook or Instagram) are great examples – every time they change their algorithms our posts are being shown to fewer followers. This way they try to force us to buy their ads to promote our posts.
You can pay someone to help but it can cost you a fortune. We believe it's good to try to do as much as you can yourself at the beginning so that you can learn how things work to make the right decisions later. You need to become a 'Jack of All Trades'.
We are very grateful to our friend David who helped us to create our website and keep it going. His expertise was priceless and we saved so much time (and money) by following his advice. Also having Neil Steedman, an experienced journalist, copywriter and editor, as our mentor, helped us to improve our writing skills significantly.
Last but not least, we couldn't make it without YOU, our readers and followers, who supported us on our journey – thank you!
It's Hard to Get Noticed
The Internet is a busy place and the competition in travel blogging is tough. People are busy and it's very hard to get their attention, especially if you are like us and you aren't into posing for pictures, taking selfies or making videos. You need to be pro-active and learn how to promote yourself because nobody else will do it for you.
There are many people who travelled more than you, they are better writers, greater photographers or they already have huge audiences. It can be frustrating to compare yourself with other bloggers because you can always find someone who is better than you.
Also, it may be difficult to keep finding interesting topics to write about because everything seems to be written about already.

That's why it's important to find your own voice and try to differentiate yourself. It's not easy and we are still working on it.
Money Comes Slowly
It usually takes a long time for a blog to start producing a decent income, so it's not a good idea to quit your job unless you have some savings you could live off for a while.

Many bloggers are happy just with getting free trips but it's not a great long-term strategy because these won't pay your bills. Promotion of various brands is another option but too many ads can harm your blog – your followers will become tired of being sold something all the time and will go somewhere else.
It's important to find the balance between providing useful content and finding ways to earn money. It all comes down to what you can offer to both your followers and potential business partners, and how big is your audience. If your audience and its engagement aren't big, you won't find many earning opportunities – that's why growing an audience is the key but again it won't happen overnight, it takes time.
We didn't want our blog to be full of ads so we decided to go the way of getting paid for our writing – selling our articles and publishing our book (which is long overdue!) and we are going to take on new opportunities as they arise.
Blogging Isn't for Everyone
Blogging is challenging but it can bring you many rewards if you work hard and don't give up. It allows you to be yourself, be creative and help other people. It's fulfilling to see that your work had an impact and inspired someone else.
Having a job is easy in comparison with trying to make money on your own. You get paid regularly and life is (relatively) easier but you are trading your time and interests for money and only time will show if it was worth it or not.

We might decide to go back to a job one day if things don't work out or we don't enjoy blogging anymore, but we will never regret giving it a try. Spending our lives as employees and regretting that we didn't have guts to try different things in our lives – that's our worst-case scenario, not failing with our blog.
What's Next for Us?
Our number one priority is to finalise our book and publish it. It has been finished for a while, we just need to update it to make the content even more useful. We learnt so much during our first year of blogging and we have plenty of new ideas.
The book talks about the travel basics that we learnt during over 10 years of working at an airport (Petr) and as a travel agent (Kat). We added many tips from our own travels – and after visiting almost 50 countries we have a lot to say! The book is designed mainly for people who are new to travel but even long-time travellers may have never thought of some of the items included.
Also, we would like to reconsider the direction of our blog to focus on a niche instead of being just a general travel blog (like thousands of others).
There are more exciting changes coming for us in 2018, so stay tuned not to miss anything!
Final Thoughts
Being a full-time blogger is not for everyone. It's hard work and it takes a long time to see any results and become successful. You will experience many ups and downs, so you need a lot of drive and motivation to keep going.
But it's still one of the most fulfilling ways of life that can help you to achieve the freedom and lifestyle you might be dreaming about.
So, we are going to continue our journey in the blogging world and see where it may take us – we love adventures and travel after all! Thank you for being on this journey with us…
What do you think about our blog – what do you like and what are you missing? We would appreciate your feedback so that we could improve. Thanks!

Disguised in a black wig, baseball cap, and even a pair of glasses, the "Party" songstress walks without security on a bustling high street as pedestrians pass by her unaware of that they are in such close proximity to one of K-pop's biggest stars.
Stay in the know about Girls' Generation by following IdolWow! on Twitter

Some Democrats are just a bit more blatant about their criminal aspirations than others.
Take Democrat candidate for Michigan's District 1 Brian Banks for example.
How else to explain a Detroit Democrat running for the State House who can't even balance his own check book who makes it by writing bad checks, and he wants to be elected to spend the State's (read: your) money?
Standing already convicted of eight felonies involving bad checks and credit card fraud, he's running in Detroit for a seat in the Michigan legislature.
After claiming he's reformed (In Democratese this apparently means - "I haven't been caught or convicted again - yet"), he's now bounced a few checks to his current landlord: The Detroit Free Press: State House candidate was still writing bad checks this year, records show.
The Saddest Part: Given the overwhelmingly Democrat domination of his district, comprised of part of northeast Detroit, Harper Woods, Grosse Pointe Woods and a part of Grosse Pointe Shores, The Michigan Democrats are about to seat a once and future felon in Michigan's legislature.

Moffat Museum
Originally established in Moffat's old bakehouse, Moffat Museum provides a fascinating insight into the town's history - from early Roman times, the Border Reivers, the heyday of its coaching era, to the discovery of the Well and Moffat's popularity as a spa town.
The generosity of an Australian benefactor, John Moffitt, along with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Clyde Wind Farm, Foundation Scotland and the local community, enabled the Museum Trust to purchase the adjoining building and undertake a big modernisation project. The new and expanded Museum opened in 2013 and now features stunning artefacts on loan from the Museum of Scotland.
The Museum is on two floors. The lower floor illustrates Moffat's history through several key exhibits. Included is a Neolithic bow found in the hills above Moffat and a Roman brooch found on Ericstane Brae. The upper floor has eight displays covering different aspects of Moffat's history, such as education, agriculture, the history of the Spa and famous people associated with Moffat. An outside yard hosts a display of agricultural tools and exhibits relevant to Moffat's railway history.
The museum now includes a new space dedicated to the Merlin Trail, of which Moffat is the hub. For more information, visit the Merlin Trail Website.
The Moffat History Trail is also featured on this site.
A seven minute video tells the story of the town and regularly changing exhibitions mean that there is always something new to see.
A town trail map is available for visitors who want to to explore the town on foot.
Please note that access from the front pavement is level and the building is accessible with a wheelchair. Exhibits housed on the upper floor are available for viewing on a computer for people unable to use the stairs.
Moffat Museum has something for everyone
The Museum is open from Easter until the end of September. Admission is free.
Opening hours are Monday to Saturday (closed Wednesday) from 10:45am to 4:15pm and Sundays from 1:15pm to 4:15pm.
Find the Museum at Harthope House, Churchgate, Moffat, DG10 9EG.
Contact the Museum on 01683 220 868 or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. During the closed winter season please ring 01683 220 100.
You can find out more on the Moffat Museum website.
Explore your family history
If your ancestors came from the Moffat area, or your family name is Moffat, then why not pay our area a visit, explore your roots in person and see what you can discover about your family story?
Moffat Museum holds local clan and some family histories. Censuses are also available. With notice, help can be provided with personal family history research.
The Old Kirkyard gravestones are being recorded, photographed and mapped by Museum volunteers. These photographs will be held on computer and can be accessed through the computer in the Main Gallery.
Moffat's railway
There's lots to interest railway enthusiasts at Moffat Museum, including a working model of the busy Moffat railway station as it was in the 1950s, complete with a working train, which has been specially built by local historian Emilio Dicerbo.
From time to time Thomas the Tank engine runs on the model railway - phone the Museum on 01683 220 868 to find out when the Fat Controller is next in town!

This report analyzes three notable California health-care reform proposals and uses lessons learned in California to detail how "play-or-pay" requirements on employers could be structured in a national health-care reform plan. The report was jointly written with the Berkeley Center on Health, Economic & Family Security (Berkeley CHEFS).

Kraftwerk – Computer Love
This, along with another song, has been floating round my head for a few days now, somewhat stubbornly, so for today's song, have some minimalist, early-80s (1981 to be exact) krautrock. If, indeed, it can be categorised as any of those. People are so picky about their genres nowadays. Anyway, possibly not one of their best known (though I do challenge the average person on the street to name 5 songs by this hugely influential band from Düsseldorf)), this single came from the album 'Computer World'. I think that says it all. Only in Germany. It's bizarre but awesome. As usual, listen and be educated, this time by pioneers Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider:
Ps. Although this is a genius song, this blog was also an excuse to use some outstanding words that we don't get in England.

Galileo launches corporate booking tool
Galileo has launched Galileo Traversa(TM) , a corporate booking tool that integrates ease-of-use with control.
Initially offered by Galileo Americas for
customers with English-speaking employees worldwide, Galileo Traversa will be
rolled out by IBM, which played a key role in the development of this
leading edge corporate travel booking tool. By the end of Q4, it will be
available in six languages. Currently it is offered in U.S. English, U.K.
English, French Canadian and European French—German and European Spanish
coming later this year—and available in the 234 currencies supported by
the Galileo GDS.
"Galileo Traversa delivers the best of all worlds to travel managers,
corporations and ultimately their travelers: a booking tool already known
to millions, enabling instant adoption, high productivity, increased
traveler satisfaction, and fewer low-value calls to the agency, all of
which can amount to measurable cost savings," said Dave Falter, president,
Galileo by Travelport, The Americas. "We are particularly proud to premiere
Galileo Traversa because it sets a new standard in the corporate booking
tool arena, and we are delighted to be in this enviable market position.
Whether the issue is savings, high adoption, policy control or
productivity, Galileo Traversa helps companies take advantage of leading
edge travel technology to reap benefits every day."
"At Galileo, we worked closely with customers and incorporated their
feedback to create a platform for Galileo Traversa that offers dramatic
product innovations unavailable in any other applications," said Michael
Ihle, vice president, Product Development, Galileo by Travelport, The
Americas. "This includes new e-ticket tracking systems tied directly to the
GDS, an entirely new, easy-to-use point and click administration system, a
new "compare airports" feature that enables a quick search across multiple
airports, as well as a company policy-enabled expanded matrix for air and
car searches. "
