Conjures up the magical spirit of the absinthe world.Discover them
This chocolate bitter can be characterised by its deep and round flavor, and works wonderfully with cocktails with dark spirits as a base.
It matches best with whiskey and rum, but clearer distilled spirits also harmonize excellently in combination with Bob's Chocolate Bitters.
Like all of Bob's Bitter, the Chocolate Bitters come in a 100 ml bottle with a pipette top, making dosage easy and efficient.
Bob's chocolate bitters are produced by macerating dark cacao.
Through the natural, unprocessed cacao this bitter derives its predominantly chocolaty flavor.
The herbal chocolate aroma is accompanied by a touch of vanilla and espresso.
Use it to enhance the flavor and aroma of your beverages and dishes.
A kiwi adorns Bob's bottles and lets his roots as a proud New Zealander be known. Today he lives in London and produces his cocktail bitters there, following a simple, but original and convicing concept.

Star Trek: Into Darkness
May 17, 2013
Pure space opera, delightfully old school. As we know I'm a sucker for big spaceships, and oh they were so beautiful.
The plot. . .standard, and some of the details didn't pass the refrigerator test. (Is your disbelief suspended until you get home to get a drink from the fridge?) Heck, they didn't pass the two second test. So it's best to skate as fast as possible through this thing. Too bad most of the action scenes went on twice as long as they needed to. That's my big complaint. And there was some really goofy science. Cold fusion? Really? I do not think this means what you think it means…
But there also was a lot to love: Peter Weller and Noel Clarke, for example. Uhura speaking Klingon. Pretty, pretty spaceships. Some fan service in the climactic moment that I thought was marvelous, but some of my companions thought was goofy. To say more would be a spoiler. But did anyone but an old fan even get what was going on there?
Also, does it strike anyone else that the Enterprise is basically structurally unsound in its entirety?
There's a moment in this movie where the story could have zigged instead of zagging — and I think I prefer the zig. Like, what if Khan isn't the bad guy? This is an alternate timeline. Things are different here. What if old Spock tells new Spock this is the most horrible person ever — but before Spock can tell Kirk, Kirk has decided to give Khan a chance. Kirk decides not to stun Khan on the bridge of the Vengeance. Khan has been used and manipulated, and at this point he needs an ally — he's planned on betraying Kirk, but has a change of heart because of the trust Kirk shows. Because Admiral Marcus is the real bad guy who's manipulated them both. What if what if what if… It's a missed opportunity, I think. The new Trek movies seem intent on rehashing old plot lines in shiny new ways (tribble cameo, anyone?). Why not really make it alternate? Really upend our expectations?
Anyway, that's how I would have done it.

I'm waiting to see if the reanimated tribble is the 'patient zero' of the tribble plague?
May 17, 2013 at 6:02 pm
Yeah, I agree — I think it would have been more effective if this Khan had been a lighter shade of gray. Show that this is truly an alternate universe.
I enjoyed it while I was watching it, but afterwards felt used. Stealing the exact situation and dialogue from TWOK (albeit by reversing the characters' places) made the emotion feel unearned. It was mostly resonant goodwill from the much better original. And Spock's shout seemed arbitrary and had me stifling a laugh — surely not the intended effect.
MY rewritten ending would have left Kirk dead at the end of the movie (not that I believed for a second that would actually happen). Then some of that emotion could have been earned, but I have a feeling that I would have been the only one satisfied with that solution.
I have lots of other complaints — the plot really doesn't stand up to much scrutiny — but I'm trying to just let it go. If I'm honest, I can find plenty of similar flaws in previous (and better) Trek episodes and movies.
May 17, 2013 at 6:19 pm
There were a lot of comedic moments, must have laughed out loud at least 10-15 times.
Found myself wanting a little bit more at the end… another 10 minutes after the action was done, I guess I like dialog and emotions as much or more than tons of action.
I was also waiting to see if Khan was a good or bad guy in the alternate universe too.
agree with Mark K. too on simply replicating the exact situation.
A little bit of True Blood in there too 🙂
May 17, 2013 at 7:18 pm
Khan was an antagonist, but not necessarily a villain. He acted a lot out of revenge — but so did Marcus. I'd say that revenge was pretty much the driving theme there.
Don't get me wrong, Khan's not a good guy. But he couldn't be, because his backstory was set before the timeline split. But they gave him a lot of depth and motivation here.
I liked it a lot.
Other than their uniforms. Why were all the federation people wearing Nazi uniforms?

Spoiling the Spoilers:
Given that the alternate-alternate plotline was explicity rejected — several times, in fact — during the "publishing" history of STOS post-TV, I'm not at all surprised.
Ironically, with the exception of 2, the STOS films have ALL suffered from having an episode's worth of plot and character built around all of the kewl visuals that they wished they could have had on TV. The lens flare is a lot less noticeable when it's not on screen all by itself… but then, I watched STOS on a black-and-white set during its first round of syndication (the 'rents wouldn't let me watch it in prime time, because it interfered with their programs).
May 20, 2013 at 8:13 am
(SPOILERS ahead! Procede with caution!!)
Carrie — I really like your rewritten movie portion, because that was one of the few things that frustrated me just a teeny bit about Into Darkness. I remember how excited I was at the end of the 2009 film: "They BRILLIANTLY set up this _entirely alternate universe_. They've just opened themselves up so that they can tell literally ANY STORY THEY WANT TO!! Even the SKY is not the limit! Literally! So: *WOW*!!!" … and then we get to Into Darkness and they tell, y'know, old plot lines in shiny new ways.
C'mon, guys! You got *Benedict Cumberbatch* to play your villain! He's REALLY good! I don't even watch "Sherlock" and I can tell how good he is!! So you can totally do a more complex character, and have him turn out to have a change of heart because Kirk's own concern for the Enterprise crew makes him realize he can relate to this dude! And it would be DIFFERENT then! It would be NEW! C'mon, wouldn't that be cool?!?
(Also, I hear you about the refrigerator test: you guys put _what_ into the long-range photon torpedoes? Really??)
But, like you said: there's so much to love. Robocop and Mickey Smith, for sure … not to mention Uhura speaking Klingon like the awesome kick-ass person she is. But I was also so incredibly touched by the *emotion* of it all. (I teared up at least twice.) We've got a cast full of incredible actors, and they sold stuff to me that might not otherwise have been sold …
I was also really caught up in Kirk's whole emotional arc, to tell the truth. I enjoyed Chris Pine's Kirk a good deal in the first film, but the character doesn't really change there. He changes a heckova lot in the sequel, however, and I'm hard-pressed to think of a character in a recent sci-fi film that grows as much as Kirk does. That growth was emotionally hard on him (his face! His face when his surrogate father Christopher Pike dies!! I knew it was coming and it still broke my heart), but he does it, and it's wonderful and relatable and powerful stuff. It was also brilliantly written and gorgeously acted, which makes all the difference. (Look, I'm a big fan of Will Shatner; he's fantastic in Boston Legal — and he is THE James Kirk, the iconic performance. And Shatner really grew into the part of Kirk as the show morphed into the film series, I think. But … let's be honest … Pine has the heartier acting chops, and they were on full display in this film.)
I was pretty sure, from the metaphorical Chekov's Guns that they'd planted in the earlier dialogue, that of COURSE Kirk and Spock were going to get flipped for the poignant ending scene of somebody dying in a radiation chamber. That didn't mean I was any less moved when it happened, and Kirk saying to Spock, "I'm scared," was so relatable it hurt. It also ended up tying back into Spock's particular arc in the story — the idea that he is trying so hard to suppress these terrible emotions he is struggling with (less because He Is A Vulcan and more because they are painful emotions and he doesn't want to *feel* them, which is wonderfully understandable), that he's trying to suppress them and he _can't_, because he cares too much about his friends, is really quite powerful. That's why, for my part, I didn't feel the emotional impact of the radiation chamber was forced or unearned — yeah, the idea of it is a copycat from TWoK, but the character development that brought these two characters to that place was beautifully earned.
(The story also spent more time on the ethical implications of the characters' decisions, and, as a TNG die-hard, I APPRECIATED THIS. REALLY DEEPLY. It *felt* more like Star Trek to me this time round than the first film did.)
So: yeah, the movie had its flaws. (Is that SERIOUSLY what is in the long-range photon torpedoes? Are you KIDDING me?!?) But character development and emotional arcs were not one of those problems. I had my doubts about the whole thing when I left the theater, but I found myself liking the movie more and more the longer I turned it over in my mind. I'm very excited to go see it a second time this weekend, now that I've worked out what works so well for me (and am ready to ignore the crazy "science").
And, heck: even the lens-flares were dialed back. 😉 (Not to mention there was a bonus DS9-fan shout-out with the existence of Section 31!)
May 20, 2013 at 7:23 pm
Given how things turned out, if Khan learns what Spock did, and that what he believes to be so is not actually so, at a future date…perhaps this could still happen. Maybe…'Course the survivors of incidents a, b and c and the families of the deceased will not likely be so forgiving, but it's deep space. You take your allies where you can find them. Who has to know on earth?
Say the crew of the Enterprise trip over Khan at some point and Khan says, hey thanks for not doing what I thought you did, and decides to help them.
Yeah, the first few minutes and that whole first planet scene was…odd. And a bit too dramatic.
I missed Bones as something other than the 'Voice of Reason'. I felt that Bone's role was handled more deftly in the first movie. Even though he saved the day.
I am never going to be happy about the death of Pike. That was the AU switch I liked from the first movie. I loved how he was taking the step back and spending the extra time to fix what he didn't quite get right in the first movie – I actually want to see what would have happened if he hadn't died and things continued from there. Dramatically different, but interesting.
June 6, 2013 at 5:52 am
I spent part of the movie expecting it to zig, just like you outlined. I thought they were setting us up for it by making this Khan more sympathetic than the previous one.
Actually, taking this further, what if the character wasn't actually Khan? It would explain why he's white (which irks me) and why he doesn't have the same level of genocidal arrogance that original!Khan did. New!Khan killed the old one and took his place/pod (before they were frozen). Or he was thawed by Starfleet who *thought* he was Khan and he decided to use that to his advantage.
This is the movie I wish I'd watched. Damn.

Here is my compilation of videos that I have recently made about the verses that seemingly condemn homosexuality. Please also visit my first post at http://turn.to/gaychristians which provides an extensive view of this topic. Also note that other posts on this topic and more can be accessed by clicking on the "Gay and Lesbian Christians" category on your right. Please share these videos with others! Thanks and happy viewing!
*Please turn on your speakers now
Four Truths about Sodom:
This video summarizes my post on the four truths that changes the entire story of the destruction of Sodom. This knowledge makes it clear that Sodom was not destroyed due to homosexuality! Watch below and change your viewpoint forever!
Leviticus Uncovered:
This is Part One (watch Part 2 below) that explains the language context of the Hebrew words "to lie with" which makes it clear that Levitcus is very specific as to what it condemns in a same-sex union.
Leviticus Part 2: The Idol that Condemned Gay Culture
In Part 2 you will learn the context and cultural implications behind the Leviticus verses which make it clear that these verses are not condemning all homosexual acts. Also learn of the dark practices that are still active today in the U.S!
Romans Revealed:
This video focuses on the book of Romans which may be seen as the most descriptive of the clobber passages. It is also the only verse in the entire Bible that appears to condemn lesbians. Below I will show you how this is easily misread without taking into account the context, culture, and the language order.
Jesus on Same-Sex Marriage and the Afterlife:
Here is my newest video on Matthew 19:4-6 which is commonly mistaken as Jesus condemning same-sex marriage… I also include a few other verses rarely discussed that give an entirely different view on the Bible's idea of marriage. Check it out:
Homosexuality in the Bible: Mistranslating a "Lifestyle"
(In depth look at arsenokoites and malakos)
This summarizes the origin of the Greek words that have been modernly translated as "homosexual." Note that there was no Bible that had the word in its passages prior to 1946. Learn the truth behind the translation mystery that changed the way we look at Christianity and the LGBT culture….
What is "the due penalty for their error" in Romans?
I have often heard that Romans 1:26-27, "they received in themselves the due penalty for their error" is referring to the punishment of AIDS upon homosexuals. This argument is illogical for several reasons. This video shows the true penalty by breaking the verse down by focusing on different parts of this statement.

The required power of a helicopter rotor is significantly influenced by the drag due to skin friction on the rotor blades. The level of skin friction strongly depends on the flow state near the blade surface, which can be laminar, turbulent or transitional. Areas of laminar flow generate considerably lower levels of skin friction than turbulent areas. Thus the capability to predict the extent of laminar flow represents a key component for accurate performance computations of helicopter rotors.
In general the stability of the laminar boundary layer and its transition from laminar to turbulent state are affected by various flow parameters like e.g. the Mach and Reynolds number, the freestream turbulence level, the characteristic of adverse pressure gradients or the occurrence of yawed flow. Helicopter rotors typically operate in a complex flow field with large variations of the above mentioned flow parameters due to strong vortex structures generated at the blade tips and the superposition of rotational and translational velocity components. Due to the large variations of the rotor flow conditions a spectrum of different instability mechanisms can influence the laminar boundary layer and cause the laminar-turbulent transition onset. Possible instability mechanisms are:
Figure 2
Laminar-turbulent transition onset on the blade of a Bo 105 helicopter in hover;
top: flight test
bottom: numerical simulation with the DLR FLOWer code
For the simulation of the complex flow field around a helicopter rotor, computational in-house tools based on the Navier-Stokes equations are used. The investigation of the laminar-turbulent flow transition on helicopter rotors focuses on the following research activities:

The Editorial writers at the WSJ have some tough things to say about California's AB32 carbon mitigation effort. The regulators at the Air Resources Board are called "elitists" who do not understand the unintended consequences of their well meaning regulations. The WSJ predicts that this regulation will further damage the California economy. This editorial merit some analysis.
First, allow me to quote the editorial in a couple of places to give you a flavor of its tone and main points.
"It may be time for California to formally apply for membership in the European Union. Its taxing, borrowing and regulatory policies are already more in line with the southern tier of Euroland than with other U.S. states, and the Golden State has taken another lurch in the Euro-direction by becoming the first jurisdiction in the nation to adopt a full-scale cap-and-trade tax to combat global warming. The new taxes and regulations will require a nearly 30% reduction in carbon emissions from power plants, manufacturers, cars and trucks by 2020."
I agree that this is funny and well written.
"So California will go it alone on cap and trade, and the economic fallout won't be pretty. Nearly every independent analysis agrees that water, electricity, construction and gas prices inside the state will rise. The only debate is about how much."
This is the key paragraph in the piece. The WSJ forgets that the Air Resources Board is aware of the general equilibrium impacts of its policies. The ARB is trying to change "the rules of the game" to get California polluters to expect that they will be charged a gradually higher price for carbon emissions. As these polluters update their capital stock and make investment decisions (and given this policy path expectation), they will make choices that allow them to adapt smoothly to the new incentives.
The WSJ implies that the policy regime shift is "cold turkey" but this is false. California polluters will only gradually face a higher price for carbon emissions. It is true that meeting the aggressive Renewable Portfolio Standard for electric utilities must be pushing them to raise their electricity prices (and the exact amount should be a leading economic consulting project) but the new cap and trade program will be gradual. Here are some facts.
To placate critics who view this as a "silly tax", "In California, 90 percent of the allowances will be given out free, but 10 percent will be sold on the open market, which some say could raise $500 million a year for the state's climate-change programs."
So, at the start of the cap and trade program --- the polluters will only be paying for 10% of their pollution and the price per ton will start low and only gradually rise. This is like walking into the ocean one toe at a time. This isn't the rise of Stalinism!
As I have said many times, California is running a major field experiment here and since ideas are public goods, the good ideas that California discovers will be applicable all over the world to reducing GHG emissions elsewhere. Of Course, California can't "solve" climate change by itself but by volunteering to be the "green guinea pig", we will generate new knowledge and good mitigation strategies that can be applied all around the world. Are we are hero or a sucker? The WSJ incorrectly calls us a sucker. As a subscriber to the WSJ, I must admit that I'm disappointed with their dogmatic editorial staff. This smart group has ignored that the leaders of the ARB are well aware of the political realities they face. There is no free lunch but it is possible to identify "win-wins" that internalize externalities.
UPDATE: The WSJ makes a mistake in citing a "cost of regulation" piece that claims that California households will be paying an extra $3,800 a year in new regulatory costs. To quote the sober Joe Romm, I have "DEBUNKED" that regulatory study in my own analysis . Unlike those authors, I was not paid for my report! You can also read my LA Times editorial (joint with Jim Sweeney) on this subject here.

Seeing a concert is always an adventure. Whether one waits for months to experience their favorite band live or buys tickets to a band they have never heard of with no expectations, hearing live music always leaves concert-goers with a story. I happened to see Marian Hill live on October 10th, and I was part of the latter group: I bought tickets with several hours left until doors opened and went in completely blind. I am very glad I did; the concert featured three different, but equally stunning bands that blew me away with every new song. Although Marian Hill was the headlining artist, their two openers did just as good of a job of setting the mood and amping up the crowd.
First up, about half an hour after doors opened, a little-known band named Shaed took the stage. Composed of a singer, a keyboardist, and a drum pad, they quickly turned the room from a standing mob of people into a swaying collective of individuals. Featuring indie-pop-esque music, Shaed came off as lighthearted and fun to listen to. They did what an opener is meant to do: excite the crowd and get them ready for the main act. They sprayed foam and flashed lights during their songs, and gave out stickers to promote themselves. My only complaints during this set are not necessarily related to the band, but the venue. Numerous times, the band asked for the lights to be either turned off or dimmed, and their requests fell on deaf ears. I felt, had the lights been turned off, more people would have gotten into the music. Who wants to dance with the lights on?
The second band to come on stage was Vérité, and their approach was more somber. Vérité is the brainchild of Kelsey Byrne, who writes her own music and hires live musicians to accompany her on stage. During her set, I noticed more people showing up and packing the dance floor, probably because she was better known than the first group. I found her voice to be much more mellow than that of the Shaed vocalist. She created an intimate atmosphere in which concert-goers could relax. For her first show in Albany, I think Vérité did a splendid job of keeping the crowd entertained. As an added plus, the lights were turned off as her set began.
The main act of this concert, Marian Hill came on at around 10 pm, and by that time, the small enclosure of the Jupiter Hall was packed. The band started off with their most famous song, "One Time", and the somber yet emotional saxophone set the crowd cheering. Samantha Gongol, the band's vocalist, sung in a hushed but powerful voice, while the DJ, Jeremy Lloyd, mixed and re-mixed her voice in live time. To top it off, live saxophone improvisation was provided by Steve Davit, who tours with the band and appears on their album. I liked Marian Hill a lot, and even though I knew next to nothing about them going in, I left a big fan of their work. Samantha's voice changed pitch and intonation several times through songs and contrasted nicely with the minimalist drums and infrequent bursts of sax. It was a no-brainer that the crowed clapped along and cheered at the end of every song and that an encore was both requested and speedily given at the end of the night.
Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience. I felt like all three acts were phenomenal, and look forward to overplaying their music on Spotify within the next few weeks. I expect that we all will be hearing more songs from these artists on popular radio. They are sure to be big.

A court in China's Qinghai province on Tuesday sentenced Tibetan shopkeeper and language activist Tashi Wangchuk to five years in prison for "separatism," prompting an outcry from governments and rights organizations who said the sentence highlights Beijing's disregard for its own laws protecting ethnic autonomy.
The verdict by the court in Qinghai's Yulshul (in Chinese, Yushu) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture ended a controversial trial in which the prosecution based its case on a video report by the New York Times documenting the activist's efforts to preserve and promote the use of his native language in Tibetan-populated regions of China.
Wangchuk, 33, was arrested in January 2016, two months after the Times ran its video report, and had faced a possible 15-year prison term for the charges. His sentence of five years will include his time already spent in detention.
In the video, Wangchuk is seen traveling to Beijing to press his case for the wider use of the Tibetan language in Tibetan schools. Prosecutors used this as evidence, despite his repeated disavowals of separatism and his stated intention to use the Chinese law to protect the Tibetan tongue.
The Times quoted Wangchuk's lawyers, Liang Xiaojun and Lin Qilei, as saying that the activist had already planned to appeal if he was convicted. They said that only two members of his family were allowed to attend his hearing on Tuesday.
The Dharamsala, India-based Tibetan exile government, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), and the U.S. hit out at Wangchuk's sentencing, calling for his immediate release.
Sikyong Lobsang Sangay, political leader of the CTA, told RFA's Tibetan Service that the verdict was a "travesty," as Wangchuk was only "advocating the language rights of the Tibetan people per the provisions in the Chinese constitution."
"His case highlights the lack of basic, fundamental rights for Tibetan people in Tibet," he added.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said in a statement that Washington was "deeply disappointed" by the conviction of the activist "for exercising his fundamental freedom of expression in calling on the government to give greater attention and resources to teach the Tibetan language in Tibetan areas."
"We urge Chinese authorities to release Tashi Wangchuk immediately, and to protect the distinct religious, cultural, and linguistic identity of Tibetans," she said.
Rights groups weigh in
Rights groups also slammed the verdict, with the director of the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in Dharamsala, Tsering Tsomo, saying Wangchuk's sentencing "was a litmus test for China's respect for rule of law, and China failed it."
"His case is representative of China's long-held contempt of Tibetan culture and language and their systematic effort to stamp out any sign of Tibetan identity. Although Tashi Wangchuk received the prison sentence, broadly speaking, the decision is reflective of China's draconian policy toward Tibetan language and cultural identity."
Tsomo said a gulf exists between the letter of the law in China and how laws are implemented, noting that China's constitution and regional ethnic autonomous laws "clearly guarantee" the preservation and protection of minority languages.
"The verdict contradicts Chinese law—the charges against Tashi Wangchuk are trumped up and he is innocent," she said, adding that sentencing him for separatism is "absurd."
Washington-based International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) said in a statement that Tuesday's verdict "signals China's harsh and extreme approach to Tibetan culture and the criminalization of moderate, peaceful efforts within Chinese law to protect the use of Tibetan language."
"In this case, minority rights outlined in China's Constitution were on trial, and the outcome reflects the emptiness of China's claims to protect Tibetan language and culture," ICT president Matteo Mecacci said.
ICT suggested that the verdict was intended as "a strong warning to other Tibetans" who may think about speaking to journalists, even about issues that are protected under Chinese law.
Sophie Richardson, Asia director for New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW), said Wangchuk's punishment was "outrageous," given that he had simply tried to follow the law and encourage the government to follow its own obligations.
"The fact that the authorities have chosen to treat that as 'inciting separatism' really shows how hostile the government is toward any sort of ethnic minority rights," she said.
"It is unlikely the Chinese authorities will reverse this decision, even if Tashi Wangchuk appeals," she said, adding that HRW was calling on China to "drop the charges because they are baseless."
James Tager, deputy director of free expression research and policy at PEN America, said Wangchuk should "never have spent a single day in detention."
"This type of peaceful advocacy of Tibetan language rights is protected under international law, and of course it is explicitly protected under the Chinese constitution and regional ethnic autonomy laws," he said.
Frequent detentions
Writers, singers, and artists promoting Tibetan national identity and culture have frequently been detained by Chinese authorities, with many handed long jail terms, following region-wide protests against Chinese rule that swept Tibetan areas of China in 2008.
Language rights have become a particular focus for Tibetan efforts to assert national identity in recent years, with informally organized language courses typically deemed "illegal associations" and teachers subject to detention and arrest, sources say.

Cardiologists are doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or conditions related to the heart and blood vessels, i.e., the cardiovascular system. Cardiology is a field which is changing rapidly. New technologies as drug-eluting stents, assist devices for left ventricle, and novel inflammatory markers, and imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging and 3D echocardiography, provides an unprecedented view of the function of the heart in health and an unparalleled prospect of therapies with which to treat disease.

Cardiology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the heart both human and animal. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology. Physicians who specialize in this field of medicine are called cardiologists, a specialty of internal medicine. Pediatric cardiologists are pediatricians who specialize in cardiology. Physicians who specialize in cardiac surgery are called cardiothoracic surgeons or cardiac surgeons, a specialty of general surgery. Clinical Cardiology is an American journal about Cardiology founded in 1978. It provides a forum for the coordination of clinical research in diagnostics, cardiovascular medicine and cardiovascular surgery.

The term "Heart disease" constitutes a number of problems, most of which are in relation to a process called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition that occurs when a substance called plaque builds up in the arteries' walls. This build-up reduces the width of the arteries, making it difficult for blood to flow through. If a blood clot occurs, it can cease the blood flow. This can result in a heart attack or stroke. Some heart defects also exist in individuals due to birth defects.

Heart disease is the main killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year which counts to approximately 1 woman every minute. There are several misconceptions about heart disease in women, and they could be putting you at risk. Other types of heart disease, such as coronary micro vascular disease (MVD) and broken heart syndrome, also pose a risk for women. These disorders, which mainly affect women, are not as well understood as CHD. Symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and syncope are frequent complaints encountered by family physicians, internists, and cardiologists. In contrast to these ubiquitous complaints, which are generally benign, sudden cardiac death remains an important public health concern. In general, the seriousness of cardiac arrhythmias depends on the presence or absence of structural heart disease.

Hypertension, also called high blood pressure is a long term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is frequently elevated. High blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms. Long term high blood pressure is a main risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, vision loss, and chronic kidney disease. It is classified as either primary (essential) high blood pressure or secondary high blood pressure. About 90–95% of cases are primary hypertension, caused due to nonspecific lifestyle and genetic factors. Lifestyle factors that increase the risk constitute excess salt, excess body weight, smoking, and alcohol. The rest 5–10% of cases is labelled as secondary hypertension, defined as high blood pressure due to an identifiable cause, like chronic kidney disease, narrowing of the kidney arteries, a hormone-related disorder, or the use of birth control pills. Blood pressure is calculated by two measurements, the systolic and diastolic blood pressures, these are the maximum and minimum pressures, respectively. At rest, normal blood pressure is within the range of 100–140 mm of mercury (mmHg) during systole and 60–90 mmHg diastole.

Electrocardiography (ECG) is the method of recordance of the electrical activity of the heart over a time period using electrodes placed on the skin. These electrodes help in the detection of the minute electrical changes on the skin that arise from the electrophysiologic pattern of heart muscle while depolarizing during each heartbeat. This record called the electrocardiogram (also known as an ECG), gives information about the part of the heart that triggers each heartbeat (the pacemaker called the sino-atrial node), the nerve conduction pathways of the heart, and the heart rate and rhythm . Usually, an ECG is obtained if a heart disorder is suspected.

The term "diabetic heart disease" (DHD) means heart disease that occurs in people who have high content of carbohydrate in blood. In comparison with people who don't have diabetes, people who have diabetes; are at a higher risk of heart disease, have additional reasons of heart disease, may develop heart disease at a younger age, may have more severe heart diseases. In Congenital Heart Disease, a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply our heart muscle with blood rich in oxygen. Plaque constitutes of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and various other substances found in the blood. When plaque happens in the arteries, the condition is called atherosclerosis.

A thorough understanding of onco-cardiology or cardio-oncology is essential for the effective treatment of cancer patients. Virtually all antineoplastic agents are related with cardiotoxicity. All patients who are being considered for chemotherapy, especially those who have prior history of cardiac disease should undergo detailed cardiovascular evaluation to optimize the treatment. Serial examination of left ventricular systolic function and cardiac biomarkers might also be considered in the selected populations of patient. Cardio-toxic effects of chemotherapy can be decreased by the frequent use of angiotensin-converting inhibitors of enzyme, angiotensin receptor blockers, or beta-blockers. Antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy might be taken in patients with a potential hyper-coagulable state associated with chemotherapy or cancer.

A pediatric cardiologist is a pediatrician who has earned valuable training in diagnosing and treating children's cardiac problems. Evaluation and treatment may start with the foetus as because heart problems can now be detected before birth. The division of Pediatric Cardiology is responsible for the diagnosis of congenital heart defects, performing diagnostic procedures such as echocardiograms, cardiac catheterizations, and electrophysiology studies, and for the on-going management of the sequel of heart disease in infants, children and adolescents.
Geriatric cardiology means cardiovascular care of patients 65 years of age or older. The geriatric population is further broken down into elderly (between ages 75 and 84 years) and very elderly (85 years of age or older), with numbers reaching 40 million and 13 million people, respectively. Vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease cause significant morbidity and mortality in aged people.

Interventional cardiology is a chapter of cardiology that deals particularly with the catheter based treatment of structural heart diseases. A huge number of procedures can be acted on the heart by catheterization. This most commonly includes the insertion of a sheath into the femoral artery (but, in practice, any large peripheral artery or vein) and cannulating the heart below X-ray visualization (usually fluoroscopy).

Heart disease is the dominant reason of death in the western world. Each year in the U.S.A, above 500,000 men and women die due to coronary artery disease. During the last two decades, major strides have been done in the analysis and treatment of heart disease. Nuclear Cardiology is the main reason for beginning of the diagnosis of heart disease and the assessment of disease extent and the detection of outcomes in the setting of coronary artery disease. Nuclear cardiology studies use non-invasive methods to analyse myocardial blood flow, determine the pumping function of the heart as well as visualize the size and placing of a heart attack. Among the techniques of nuclear cardiology, myocardial perfusion imaging is the most commonly used.

Sports Cardiology achieves heart screenings that detect potentially serious cardiovascular issues in young athletes. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the major reason of death in exercising young athletes, and is most commonly set off by problems— as structural heart disorders or electrical circuitry issues—which are not commonly found during routine physical examinations. Most of the conditions that cause sudden cardiac death in young athletes are evaluated by an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), a non-invasive test which calculates the electrical activity of the heart. Athletes with authorized cardiovascular disease or those at risk have particular goals and objectives in mind. They want to continue to play their sport and be very safe. The main aim of the Sports Cardiology Center is to work with any athlete forth the spectrum - professional athletes, recreational exercisers, to weekend warriors to help them reach these goals.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most usual type of heart surgery. CABG boosts blood flow to the heart. Surgeons make use of CABG to treat people who have critical coronary heart disease (CHD). For the heart to work well, blood should flow in only one direction. The heart's valves help to make this possible. Healthy valves open and close in a specific way as the heart pumps blood. Each valve has one set of flaps called leaflets. The leaflets open to allow blood to pass from one heart apartment into another or into the arteries. Then the leaflets close tightly to cease blood from flowing backward. Heart surgery is applied to fix leaflets that do not open as wide as they should. This can happen if they become thick or stiff or join together. As a result, not enough blood flows through the valve.

Cardiac nursing is a special nursing field which works with patients who suffer from different conditions of the cardiovascular system. Cardiac nurses help treat and care conditions such as unstable angina, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, infarction of myocardium and cardiac arrhythmia under the direction of a cardiologist. Cardiac nurses perform post-operative treatment on a surgical unit, stress test evaluations, cardiac monitoring, vascular monitoring, and health evaluations. Cardiac nurses work in various kinds of environments, involving coronary care units (CCU), catheterization of heart, intensive care units (ICU), operating theatres, cardiac rehabilitation centers, clinical research, wards for cardiac surgery, cardiovascular intensive care units (CVICU), and cardiac medical wards.

The regrowth of organs and tissues of the heart that are lost in an injury are called Cardiac Regeneration. This is in disparity to wound healing, which involves closing of the injury site by forming a scar. Few tissues like skin and large organs such as liver regrow quite readily, whilst others have been seen with little or no capacity of regeneration. Nevertheless in the present research, it suggests that particularly in the Lungs and heart, there is hope for a variety of organs and tissues will eventually develop and the capacity to regenerate.

A case report on Cardiology gives an appropriate convention for all cardiologists by rendering their important clinical cases of late occurrence. Studying from medical cases provides valuable experience for clinicians, students and paramedical staff -members. Rare medical reports and conditions discovered through the latest methods of examination are energized. Moreover, studying diagnostic methods from medical cases and the interpretation of symptoms is significant to train and burgeon the thought processes which are being used in the clinical field.
Implantable devices have been used for decades to treat heart disease. The first pacemaker was implanted over 40 years ago, and implantable defibrillators were first used in the early 1980s. But the last few years have witnessed a surge in both the types of devices being tested for heart-failure treatment, and in the optimism of experts about their usefulness.
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a microcomputer that is implanted under the skin of your upper chest area. It is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It monitors your heart rate and delivers therapy in the form of small electrical pulses. A cardiac resynchronization therapy implantable cardioverter defibrillator (CRT-D) is a type of specialized ICD used to treat heart failure. Getting a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) heart device is not an open-heart procedure. Before surgery, medication is usually given to make you sleepy and comfortable. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
An entrepreneur is an invader, a contender and a driver. Someone that creates something new, either an initiative, a business or a company. They are the eventual responsible for the destiny of its venture, which can be a company, an activity, or any other endeavour. They are the one who has the highest stakes at the venture, thus the one that needs to be empowered to fully direct the endeavour. This meet is intended to create and facilitate the most optimized and viable business meeting place for alluring people in constructive discussions, evaluation and execution of promising work ideas. Cardiology Entrepreneurs Investment Meeting is just a gathering of all Cardiologists. Entrepreneurs and Investors are assembled for the purpose of achieving a common goal through verbal interaction, such as sharing information or reaching compliance. For Cardiology entrepreneurs, this would be a favourable place to find out appropriate investors and partners to begin or expand their business.
Cardiologists are the medical doctors who practice in analysis and treating disorders of the heart. To become a cardiologist, one has to contemplate on embarking on a long, challenging, and most importantly, fulfilling the journey. The field of cardiology covers so many different types of diseases and procedures; there are a number of different kinds of cardiology one may choose to specialize depending on his or her interests and skill sets, and the type of work they'd prefer. A cardiologist is not same as that of a surgeon. The physicians who perform open heart surgery are cardio-thoracic surgeons, and they gross a surgical residency program, not an internal medicine residency as cardiologists do. To keep up with the broadening knowledge and science in cardiovascular medicine, the cardiology community needs to go through new educational steps and evaluate pathways to teach, mentor, and educate trainees to become competent cardiovascular specialists.

That's crazy! I'm excited for you Terran!
Guys, before you respond to posts, you should look at their dates. The post about Ray's book signings is dated 2001. The author passed away in 2012, as you surely know.
Oh, they know.
Terran having sport. Terran funny.
"Live Forever!"
Except that it's not.
I see that admin has removed Terran's snappy comeback to my previous post. Just for the record: I didn't mind Terran's quip at all, and smiled when I saw it. So it wasn't removed because I complained.
I DID complain about the completely irrelevant thread he created in the Resources division of the board.
im glad that you were not upset by it, its one of my finer works

Ozzy Osbourne has led tributes to pro skateboarder Dylan Rieder, who died on Wednesday (12Oct16) aged 28.
The young star, who was known for his work in the skateboarding industry, he owned New York store The Hunt as well as making a name for himself as a model, had been battling leukemia.
On Wednesday, Rieder's manager confirmed his sad passing to Jenkem magazine, saying in a statement: "Today, October 12th, 2016, surrounded by family and friends, Dylan Joseph Rieder passed away due to complications with Leukemia.
"His passion for life, art, music, fashion and skateboarding has always been contagious. Dylan will be remembered by all as a loving son, brother and friend. In lieu of sending flowers, the family requests donations be made in Dylan's memory to Dr. Stephen Forman."
Dr. Forman was Rieder's doctor and is also an international expert in hematology and oncology at the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in California.
Among those paying tribute to Rieder was Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy, who shared a picture of himself with the young sportsman, alongside a touching caption.
"Dylan Rieder. One of the most talented and brave men," he wrote. "I feel blessed to have known you. Rest in peace Dylan. My love and condolences to his family."
Rieder's passing was also strongly felt in the skateboarding world, with Tony Hawk tweeting: "Thank you for making skateboarding so much better while you were here, Dylan." Fellow skateboarder Paul Rodriguez wrote on his Twitter: "Rest easy Dylan."
Rieder began skateboarding aged nine, and first started causing a stir when he won the Damn Am contest in 2001 when he was just 13. His success spiraled from there, and he partnered with brands including Quicksilver, Birdhouse and Alien Workshop during his career, which came to a competitive end in February (16).
He also enjoyed modeling success, featuring in a Vogue spread for Alexander Wang in 2013 as well as a DKNY advertising campaign alongside Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn in 2014.

Unlike a lot of the older metal up and over garage doors, many of the ACE Garage Doors roller shutter garage doors we can supply in Cheshunt are insulated. This can really make all the difference in winter when you get into your car to start your journey to work or the school run. The very last thing you should be doing is running a car to warm it up whilst still in a garage, even with the door open, so an insulated door really can help to keep your car just that little bit warmer. Many of our range of garage doors offer very good insulation thanks to their double skinned aluminium and foam filled insert.
Another good reason to have an insulated roller shutter garage door is for when you do some DIY in the garage. In a cold snap working in the garage can feel just as cold as working outside, but an insulated garage door can help retain a lot more heat, particularly on integral garages. A well insulated roller shutter garage door can also prevent noise from power tools from annoying the neighbours and as long as you have sufficient ventilation, there is no reason to have the door open when working inside.
The town of Cheshunt is probably best known as the headquarters of the supermarket giant Tesco, whose head office has been situated in Cheshunt for many years. A small store has been in the town centre for many years and is still open today.
In 1983 a new out of town Tesco store located to the north of the town opened, named "Brookfield Farm". It later expanded, and a branch of Marks & Spencer was built next door, the entire estate in Cheshunt was then renamed "The Brookfield Centre". Until the late 1960s the main land use around Cheshunt was for its nursery industry, and many new techniques for growing under glass were developed here.
Thomas Rochford had a large concern here, although now almost all the glasshouses have been re-developed into housing estates. This is often reflected in the names of the roads or estates, such as Rosedale or Thomas Rochford Way. A small amount of nursery trade survives to the west of Cheshunt. The neighbouring town of Goffs Oak still has a large number of nurseries as well as a large garden centre.
ACE Garage Doors are in the Cheshunt area right now. Why not call us and we can take care of your garage door repair at a time convenient to you.

Are you wondering How to Fix LED Dimmer Backlight Flickering?
Have you installed an LED dimmer (MMDM/RT or MMDM/PB) and have this issue? – Dimmer backlight flickering
Are you on site right now and need to let your client know How to Fix LED Dimmer Backlight Flickering?
We have the answers here. If you are using Diginet Sitara Lighting Control System this device and solution is built in out of the box.
Lets get straight to it.
The Diginet dimmer range of Rotary (MMDM/RT) and Push Button Dimmer (MMDM/PB) are a high performance LED dimmer.
The ability to wire them in parallel on existing wiring for multi- way (2-way dimming, 3- way dimming, 4 way dimming etc.) is an Australian first.
So this LED Dimmer range is a great Australian product.
Challenges for all dimming manufacturers are related to the light source being dimmed. That is, the LED's being dimmed and the quality of those products.
Our 1st Recommendation: No matter whose dimmer you choose, make sure you select and recommend your customers to buy the best QUALITY LED lamp your project can accept.
This above all else will solve most of your issues most of the time.
The major cause of flickering whether of the off state dim backlight or the on state bright backlight is the distortion of the AC waveform around the zero crossing point.
How to Fix LED Backlight Flickering when Customers Want Cheap LED lights?
With LED lights you really do get what you pay for.
Pay less, performance will be less.
Pay more, from a reputable supplier, performance will be better.
Cant pay more and still want to Fix LED Backlight Flickering?
Use the Diginet MMBP Load Bypass device.
The MMBP is simply re-introducing the components that poorly designed and executed LED Driver designs have left out in the push for lower prices.
Order it from your local wholesaler: PART# MMBP
Why do I have to buy a separate item?
There is no way for the dimmer manufacturer to know:
- The exact site conditions from an electrical perspective
- The exact types, quantity and combination of LED lights (and other light sources) on each circuit on site
- Other types of electrically connected devices on site.
In most cases, the MMBP Load Bypass device will not be required.
If we included it in every box, your supplier, you and your customers will have to pay more for something that is not needed most of the time.
Other large dimmer manufacturers have similar products and sell them separately too for these exact same reasons.
Why isn't it included in the box if I need it?
Site conditions change from house to house, suburb to suburb, state to state.
The way electricity is delivered and the way homes are wired is not the same everywhere based on different standards at different times in history.
Diginet LED dimmer range, especially LEDSmart+ comes with a bunch of accessories in the box – In our experience, most electricians discard the box and throw away these accessories – often by accident.
Our 2nd Recommendation: Buy a handful of MMBP from your Electrical Wholesalers and keep them in your van in case you do need them.
They are inexpensive and do the job most of the time.
NOTE: No solution is guaranteed to work 100% of the time on 100% of projects.

Something I've been wanting to do for a while is to start making video courses. I do a lot of workshops, teaching people ASP.NET Core 2, Docker, dev-ops and so on, but there's a limit to how many people I can reach with the in-person classes. So I'm thinking of creating online courses that you can do anywhere, any time, but hopefully still with whatever it is I do that people seem to like in my talks and workshops. A lot of the existing content I've seen is very dry and formal, and I can't really do that, so I'm hoping there's an audience for the same sort of thing done my way.
Anyway, it's taken a couple of tries, but I've finally got a pilot episode uploaded, and I'd love it if you could take a look and give me some feedback. This one's about running ASP.NET Core 2.0 applications in Docker, which is definitely something you should be doing. Even if you're a dentist.
If there's enough interest, I'll build some proper courses (with modules and exercises and everything) to teach the same stuff I've been teaching in my workshops, in the same style. We won't be building To Do lists or stock-control applications, put it that way.
I'll be making some more pilots over the coming weeks, so I've set up a mailing list you can sign up to with your email to get notified when new content gets published. That's one of the ways I'll be gauging interest, so please do sign up if you're interested. I promise I won't spam you or do anything evil with your data.
To be totally clear: this is something I'm hoping to turn into a business, which is going to involve money changing hands at some point. No idea exactly what that's going to look like; it could be selling individual courses or a subscription model or a combination of the two. Further down the line there'll probably be some market research stuff to work that out; if you've got any comments on that side of things now then I'd love to hear it.
For now, though, I'm just going to put some videos and stuff out there and see if you lovely people like it, OK?

Mailing list: Subscribe
P.S. I know, it's been a while since I blogged. What can I say? I've been very busy, what with speaking engagements and training courses and trying to keep up with all the changes to .NET Core and running and everything. It's difficult to find the time for everything, but I've got a few projects underway that I'm going to be sharing soon; this new idea for RendleLabs is just the first one.

Peggi Habets is a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who returned to her roots after living and working as a graphic designer and art director in Washington, DC and Northern Virginia. Returning to her roots however, meant more than just physically relocating. She also returned to her creative roots of drawing and painting, something she had done throughout her childhood and young adult life. For as long as she could remember, Peggi has aspired to be a professional working artist.
Upon returning to Pittsburgh and starting a family with her husband Yves, Peggi began taking art classes and workshops to get reacquainted with her skills. She quickly acclimated to the fine arts community of Pittsburgh by joining arts groups, volunteering her time, and serving on several boards. This allowed her to associate with and learn from other, more established artists, while raising her three boys. After several years of intense study and practice, she found her niche in contemporary, figurative watercolor and has developed a thriving art business out of her home studio that includes commissioned portraiture, gallery representation, and teaching workshops around the country.
Peggi's influences come from her Italian/Slovak background and growing up in the steel mill towns of Pittsburgh. She tends to gravitate towards ordinary, hardworking people as subjects for her paintings. These are people who have stories to tell and hardships to overcome. Instead of realistically depicting every detail in the paintings, she often suggests the person's surroundings through her use of color, design, shape, and value. These narrative paintings are realistic in nature, but preserve enough ambiguity to add interest to the viewer's experience.
She is also influenced by many contemporary artists who are working today, and counts among her heroes watercolor artists such as Mary Whyte, Dean Mitchell, Burton Silverman, and Guan Weixing. Andrew Wyeth, John Singer Sargent, and Anders Zorn are the master watercolorists whose books she has pored over, time and again. Their realistic depiction of ordinary people are what draws her to their work. The emotional nature of their paintings, as well as the perfect technical and design skills, are what continue to inspire her own art.
Peggi's paintings are constantly evolving as she challenges herself to say more with less. She strives to keep her watercolors fresh with minimal brushstrokes, fluid washes, and pure pigment. Painting in a series has allowed her to explore many ways to depict one subject. For instance, she is currently working a series of paintings and drawings of dancers. In this series, she is exploring mixed media, incorporation of abstract elements, color, variation of edges, and gesture in order to create the right mood, emotion, or narrative. Even in these dance paintings, she is drawn to the hard work and struggle of the dancers, as opposed to the beauty of the subjects.
In the past 15 years, Peggi has written a book on watercolor portraiture, has been published in many high-profile art magazines, won numerous national and international awards, and has been invited to teach watercolor workshops around the country. She is thrilled to be able to live out her dream of making a living as a self-employed, professional artist. She also loves to spend time with her now-grown boys and husband of almost 30 years. In her free time, she loves to garden, hike, practice yoga and meditation, and travel. She thanks her wonderful clients and collectors for their support and patronage over the years, and looks forward to the many new challenges her work will bring in the years to come.

I Was Her Favorite
I was her favorite. She would take me with her on special occasions. Sometimes when she was feeling low, I made her feel better. I made her feel confident and sensual. I erased all doubts she would ever have about herself. When she looked at the mirror, how she looked with me, she believed she was beautiful. She was incomplete without me, I was an important part of her personality, of her. I was her favorite shade of lipstick.
I still remember the first day she saw me. I was sitting in the store, waiting for one of the girls to try me on. And then she walked in. It was stormy that day, and despite her carrying an umbrella, she got soaked. Her wet hair stuck to her neck and she had dark circles under her eyes. The store owner looked at her disdainfully. The others didn't want to be touched by her, but I was curious. A sense of elation filled me as she picked me up and applied me on her full, rosy lips. A bright, stunning red I was, bold and sensational. She didn't try another and took me home with her.
Since that day I sit and adorn her dresser. When she paints her beautiful lips with me, her face bursts into a smile. She knows she is a beautiful girl, but when she puts me on, she feels complete. My bold redness fills her with confidence, and a fake bravado to go on and do her job. Her painted red smile sweeps the girl with puffy eyes and a haggard look away. When she puts me on as a last touch, she turns into a goddess of beauty whom no man can say no to.
She wanders the street, dolled up, looking for customers. Some take her to extravagant hotels, while some take her to a dingy, one-roomed motel. Never a complaint has escaped her lips as they have their way with her body. When she comes back home she puts the roll of money they pay her on the dresser right next to me. Then she sits and takes her make up off. Every night her lips are untouched.
Tonight is my last night on her lips. She hasn't dolled up, only a little make-up to hide her imperfections. She smiles as she swipes me over her lips, coloring them the bold, blood-red hue. She is wearing a plain dress tonight. The doorbell rings and she smiles as she opens it. I spend my last night on her laughing lips as the young man whose hand she holds charms her. He looks at her adoringly while she talks, gushes of breaths passing by me as she animatedly explains everything to him. This was her first date, she says and looks at him shyly when he comes to leave her at the door. He smiles and leans down, cupping her body with one hand and tilting her head with the other. He kisses her lips. She smiles ecstatically through the kiss. He leaves with the promise of meeting her again. She smiles, knowing full well he will.
Tonight was my last night. It was the first time I was smeared, the first time I was shared with another pair of lips. She is afraid to wipe me as the memory of his kiss still lingers on her lips. He looks at the red lipstick on his lips and smiles. My last goodbye was the first kiss in a lifetime of kisses.
I was her favorite shade of lipstick.

text: On my "dumb" phone I learned to do most of everything I needed via text message. I could update twitter and facebook at the same time. I could type in 1 text and send it to manyh people. I could also put my contact into a group and I could easily send a text message to a group. I could even choose who in the group to send it to. Is there a way to send 1 text message to multiple places at once? Is there a way to group my contacts? Thanks

Do we owe it to ourselves to customize codes to the highest or lowest common denominator? ( Yes, but its unfair )
QR code is now a small town 😉 Works using i-nigma
I find it so fascinating that a code can work on some scanners and completely not register on others. The isometric angle of this code is the main issue, made this way to match the aesthetics of the Cityville game, but it again brings up an interesting question.
How can we optimize QR codes to work to the higher end, not the lower end of the spectrum. This project was for what I call QR code research, but if I can get this to work on 1 scanner. How much do I have to decustomize so that it will work on 2, 5, 10 scanners, etc. Where is the lowest common denominator? Why can't the QR code scanners race to the top?

In my convalescent state I've been going back over a lot of old poems and stories and releasing them here on the blog. I'll keep this up for another while, until I'm fully fit to add new material.
One of the questions that I ask myself as I wade through all this stuff is: What was I thinking? And of course for the most part the answer is: I've no idea. I have forgotten when most of these were written, have no recollection of the time or the situation, and especially the frame of mind.
This poem is an odd one (aren't they all?), and to the question what was I thinking, well, answers on a postcard please….
Poor little thing
I'm sorry for what I did
to your hamster,
it was despicable.
The wardens show me
no sympathy.
The poor little thing.
You must have been
crushed too
but in a different way.
And the fire
the resultant fire
from the sparks
I'm so dreadful
dreadfully sorry.
Did they find your cat?

Choosing the right social media channels for a target audience is just one step in creating an effective content strategy. It's equally important to determine what content is best for each channel and when and how to tweak messages for each channel. Most important is quality.
From blogs, podcasts, tweets and LinkedIn postings to videos, still photos, case studies, white papers and traditional advertisements, the types of content and their interconnections are as varied — and growing as quickly — as digital platforms.
Underscoring the complexity of today's multiformat marketing challenge is a recent story by The New York Times on the Anheuser-Busch InBev's Super Bowl marketing strategy, which included a $5 million television commercial plus millions more to market the commercial itself.
Mary Scott, president of sports & experiential at United Entertainment Group, told The Times that brands eager to get the full value of their Super Bowl commercials may spend anywhere from 25 to 100 percent of the cost of commercials to promote them across social and other digital media before and after the big game.
While Super Bowl commercials are a field unto themselves, the secondary marketing strategies show the impact of a well-thought-out strategy for taking content and maximizing its potential across much broader platforms and audiences.
The Content Marketing Institute offers a host of resources develop an effective plan to leverage content across multiple channels, from a basic tutorial on the importance of — and the subtle differences between — developing a content strategy and a content marketing strategy, to a five-step tutorial on developing a content map.
A content strategy, the institute says, is used to "draw and develop the larger story that an organization tells." The strategy should "focus on ways to engage an audience, using content to drive profitable behaviors." The strategy involves managing content as a business asset.
To maximize a strategy's effectiveness, the institute advises creating a "content map" that lists the components and their interconnections, from simple posts of headlines and links on Twitter and LinkedIn to infographics on Facebook and videos and podcasts on YouTube.
Carlijn Postma, author of the mapping tutorial, offers this advice: "The aim is not to create content for the sake of creating content. Your content has to be top quality if you want to achieve your goal. It doesn't matter how many posts you churn out. If they are not relevant or interesting, every minute spent on them will have been a waste of time."
In our next blog we'll take a look at the changing role of public relations and its quest to capture "earned media" in the digital age.

Anatomy and Physiology is the cornerstone of a good massage therapy school and training. As a massage therapist, you will need to have a basic understanding of how the body works. Anatomy refers to the structure of the body and the relationship between the structures. Physiology refers to the study of the function of body parts. Pathology is also closely related and is the structural and functional changes associated with diseases.
In massage school, you will be learning basic college level anatomy and physiology.
The body consists of several levels of structure. This list starts with the simplest forms and moves to the most complex forms and is the basis of learning anatomy and physiology.
Atoms – such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen (to name a few) are the basic make up of chemicals.
Chemicals are things like the proteins, carbohydrates and other things that are essential for life support.
Cellular structure such as the muscle cell, nerve cells and blood cells make up Tissue.
Tissue is a group of cells that together with their intercellular material have a similar origin in the embryo and usually perform a specific function.
Organs are structures that are made up of two or more different tissues and have special functions and have a recognizable shape.
Systems are made up of organs that have a common function. Like the digestive system is made up of the mouth, salivary glands, throat, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gall bladder and pancreas. There are 12 systems of the body: Integumentary (skin, hair, nails) Skeletal (bones), Muscles (skeletal, smooth and cardiac), cardiovascular (blood, heart and blood vessels) lymphatic (lymph nodes and vessels), nervous system (brain, spinal cord nerves), endocrine (glands, hormones) respiratory (lungs and airways) digestive, urinary (kidneys, bladder) reproductive, immune system.
The Organism is the combination of all 6 of these things that create a living person.
Muscles – Types of Muscles, Naming Muscles, Master Muscle List, Anatomy of Muscles, Functions of Muscles, Muscle contraction, disorders of muscles,
Inflammation – Stages of Inflammation , Comparison Chart of the various stages of inflammation
Laws of Physiology: Law of Facilitation , Hiltons Law, Arndt-Schultz Law , Davis' Law , Reciprocal Inhibition , All or none , Law of specificity of nervous energy , Weber's law , Pfluegger's Laws , Law of conservation of energy , Murphy's law
