Have you been concerned lately about your current health-care coverage? If so, you’re not alone. According to The Commonwealth Fund, 71% of uninsured adults felt that they could not afford coverage. And for those who did pay for the coverage, three in 10 didn’t feel like they would be able to keep it.
Sadly, that last sentiment is an unsurprising one. The expenses in American health-care coverage are about double compared to the health-care costs found in most other countries.
Unfortunately, despite the rising dissatisfaction with American health-care coverage, traditional health plans haven’t been able to lower the increasing costs associated with medical care. As a result, health insurance companies are starting to get a bit more creative with their new health plans. For instance, the North Carolina Blue Cross and Blue Shield company has created the My Choice policies. These policies offer health-care providers reimbursement at 40% more than what Medicare would, making their coverage more likely to be accepted. And a startup called Bind Benefits has removed annual deductibles entirely.
These new health plans sound promising, right? But their appeal comes with a few costly disadvantages.
While both plans meet the rules for the American Health Care Act, they interpret the rules quite differently compared to more traditional health plans. As Kaiser Health News (KHN) points out, the main difference is how the policies avoid the federal law’s rule for a yearly limit on out-of-pocket costs.
The federal law only calls on this limit for in-networks. So instead of having such systems in place, these health plans avoid having a network at all. And when they want to add charges, they label them premiums so they don’t count towards an out-of-pocket maximum.
This issue should be a fairly red flag. Having no limit on the costs that you pay up-front could mean that you end up paying more than what you already do for healthcare. Or, worst-case scenario, you end up not being able to afford a number of services you need to maintain your well-being.
As previously mentioned, neither health plan has an in-network. This means they have no network of health-care providers that have agreed to their coverage prices. Consequently, the job falls onto you to haggle prices with any health-care provider you end up going to.
Negotiating with institutions and doctors that have more authority than you can be immensely draining. It’s an added stress that may not even work out for you, which is not great for your mental health.
But, maybe the concept of negotiating seems appealing to you. After all, you do get the freedom to choose which health-care provider you want to go to. While that can seem appealing, you lose out on having pre-determined costs or knowing that your health-care provider will even accept your coverage. For instance, if a health-care provider doesn’t like your coverage pricing, they could choose to balance bill you.
All of this work adds up to a lot of stress for a lot of unnecessary risk.
While health-care coverage sites won’t always broadcast what they cover, KHN did point out that the health coverage from Bind Benefits won’t be able to cover everything.
To offset this issue, this particular health plan allows you to add in extra coverage through paycheck deductions.
However, this solution has a limit. After all, you can only deduct so much from your paycheck. You have other costs to worry about, such as paying rent and buying groceries. Keeping these costs in mind, it’s likely you’ll have to go without a medical service you need, despite having a health-care coverage plan.
What Can You Do to Avoid Some of These Costs?
Whether or not you choose to go with a new health-care plan, you’ll want to minimize your costs. But how do you go about it?
One of the best things you can do is to change how you purchase prescription drugs. The United States is the most expensive place for many medications. Using an international and Canadian pharmacy referral service like Canada Med Pharmacy can curb that cost. A website like this allows you to connect with licensed pharmacies outside of the States in countries that have lower prescription prices.
You might also want to consider buying generic prescriptions, further lowering the price of your medications, and seeking care from an outpatient center, which is typically cheaper than a hospital.
With these tips at hand, you’ll be able to keep a surprisingly large part of your medical costs in check — even if your health coverage doesn’t.

This week I started taking a deeper look at the Go programming language since I am somewhat addicted to scalability, reliability, concurrency and message passing :-). The first thing I always do when playing around with a new software platform is to write a concurrent "Hello World" program. The program works as follows: One active entity (e.g. thread, Erlang process, Goroutine) has to print "Hello " and another one "World!\n" with the two active entities synchronizing with each other so that the output always is "Hello World!\n". Here is the concurrent Hello World program in Go, Erlang and in C++ using the Mindroid framework.
I think I really like Go (although Erlang is a bit more crafty :-)). Go eases developing scalable and reliable distributed systems while being a good to read language. Since you can also handle much more concurrent activities with one machine using Goroutines (compared to plain operating system threads) it also helps in saving energy.
Why goroutines instead of threads?
How does goroutine scheduling work?
How does Erlang process scheduling work?
don't understand why you don't use the built in async functionality in C++11?
You can use a lot of C++ abstractions to implement a concurrent Hello World. Plain threads and semaphores, Boost fibers, or other async stuff. But I wanted to see the solution using the Mindroid framework since it is much lighter weight (than Boost) and therefore even runs on tiny embedded hardware targets. Furthermore I really like Android's concurrency stuff. But I have to admit that the Mindroid C++ is somewhat bloated here. This is because Mindroid is a concurrency library that focuses on Actors and message passing which is great for real applications that need to scale but not for tiny ones like Hello World.

Older cars will eventually reach an age where they are just too expensive to keep in running condition. You will also find that they will break down more frequently and each time with more serious consequences than the past incidents. To add even more problems, parts for old vehicles can also be hard to find locally, thus requiring you to make several trips to a wrecking yard of similar place to get hold of a few body panels or light clusters.
Pick a Good Vehicle for Your Needs – Not everyone needs a luxury cruiser or a pickup truck to haul cargo and Nissan parts Brisbane throughout the day. Before diving in for a new car purchase, consider about all the available options to you and your requirements. Do you want something that is very fuel efficient? Need good visibility? Are you pleased about a vehicle’s aesthetics? Once you make up your mind, you will find it easier to set up your budget and everything else.
Settle for a Leasing Scheme – Leasing is a great way to get a car that is way out of your current budget, but you have the ability to pay up for it within a few years. Rather than just wait until you have saved enough money, you can lease a vehicle now and keep paying for it until the agreed time period is over. Nevertheless, be careful about the leasing terms and conditions, especially because you won’t be granted full ownership of the vehicle until the leasing period is over.
Calculate Ownership Costs – When buying a vehicle, you need to factor in the total ownership cost that will be involved with your new car purchase. Remember that you will have to register your new vehicle, pay a road tax and other fees before being able to drive it like normal. New vehicles will also need to be properly maintained and serviced at the correct intervals to ensure that they will last for a long time without issues.
Scrap Your Old Vehicle – You can get some deals or discounts on your new car purchase if you decide to trade-in or scrap your old vehicle at one of the local car wreckers. Additionally, you can make some more money by selling off any usable items installed in our old car, such as tires, rims, headlights, the battery and even the seats before dismantling it.
Test Drive Before Purchasing – Before finalising your deal, take some time to test drive your new vehicle to ensure that you are fine with it. Adjust your seats, rear-view mirrors and anything else to see whether you really enjoy your new purchase or whether you want to exchange it for something else.

Time for Tilara was set up in order to raise money to provide some life changing treatment to allow her to live as normal a life as possible. Various initiatives have been set up to aid in the fundraising and includes such things as a Golf Classic “Tee off for Tilara” a bungee jump “Jump for Tilara” and “BBQ for Tilara” to name but a few of an extensive list, which can be seen here.
One of these events will be taking place in Towns Park on the 5th of August, “Tag for Tilara”. This is exactly what it says on the tin, a Tag Rugby Tournament. Please see the image below for more details.
We’re very sorry to inform you that it has been decided to postpone the Dinner Dance & Adult Awards Night. Despite a very successful event last year, numbers for this year’s function were not quite up to those levels. A major factor in this was Munster’s progression to the Champions Cup Semi-Final on Saturday, 22nd. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused to all those who have changed work rosters, purchased new outfits and made other arrangements in order to attend the event.
The 2017 Midleton RFC Annual General Meeting will take place at Towns Park on Tuesday, May 9th at 8pm. All members are encouraged to attend. Please be mindful that only paid up members are entitled to vote.
Notice of any Proposed Motions for consideration at the AGM must be sent in writing to the Assistant Secretary Mr. Eoin McCarthy, c/o Mr. Denis Kelleher, Chairman Midleton RFC, Towns Park, Midleton at least seven days before the Annual General Meeting of the Club. Such motions to be considered valid must have a proposer and seconder who are members of Midleton RFC.

This visually oriented platform allows users to save and display content by “pinning” digital bulletin boards, which can be organized by category. For example, a personal user might have a food board dedicated to pinning recipes, another board dedicated to photography, and so on. The platform also has a series of special types of pins called Rich Pins, which brands can use to add special information to their pins, like product details and even location maps. Every pin includes an image or video.

We are doing our part to help Seattlites discover great beer. Follow Flying Lion Brewing's newly wrapped and branded Ford Transit van to discover excellent craft beers! Riveting Wraps fabricated a custom van wrap that showcases the local brewery's adventurous spirit on their delivery van.
In 2014, a beer-loving family with four brothers and their parents brought their dream to life by starting Flying Lion Brewing in Columbia City, Seattle. From basement home brewer to now professional beer wholesaler, the beer artists' enthusiasm for beer never fades out. Flying Lion Brewing's kid and dog-friendly taproom has fifteen different options of unique craft beers, Rye Stouts, IPAs, Pilsner, and Porter, just to name a few..
When asked if the newly wrapped and branded van has been getting attention this was the owner's response.
"It's been getting a ton of attention! I had a comment from a passerby within 5 mins of parking it the first time. One of my bartenders saw someone taking a picture of it parked in our parking lot a few nights ago!"
The newly wrapped van will be used to deliver Flying Lion Brewing's beers that are sold to local bars and restaurants and to individual customers who want to enjoy their craft beers for parties and any occasions. The Ford Transit van Riveting Wraps produced and installed for Flying Lion is all about getting noticed while the van is on the road. Using red as its main color, the brewery van wrap executed the local brewery's branding with precision. Red is the color of courage, passion, and energy, which exactly describes Flying Lion Brewery's kindred spirit. The vibrantly colored graphics are printed with HP Wide Format latex ink printer on cast vinyl material, both of which are used to produce durable and quality graphics.
After the addition of the custom wrap, Flying Lion Brewing's delivery van becomes an attention grabbing vehicle. The brewery's highly recognizable flying lion logo, red and black color and precision striping evoke associations with established British pubs. This presentation vividly displays Flying Lion's strive for innovation and the vehicle's purpose to make express deliveries. A black banding on the top of the van highlights the address of the brewery to help interested beer lovers know where to go. The installation of Flying Lion Brewing's delivery van wrap took place at Riveting Wraps' studio. Depending on customers' convenience, Riveting Wraps' installers can travel to perform on-site installation as long as an ideal environment is available.
One of a kind branding deserves to be exhibited and seen. Riveting Wraps can custom produce graphics for different vehicle types by designing a wrap that highlight the uniqueness of your brand. Check out our Portfolio for more delivery vehicle wraps, van wraps, and Ford Transit wraps.

The resignation of Number 10’s Director of Communications has been long anticipated by the chatterati, but the manner of his departure is still interesting- in particular, his explanation of his reasons for resigning. When the PR person is in need of PR, the sell-by date is nigh, so he was right to go.
But, there are consequences of sacrificial lambs or people “falling on their swords”. When the reputation of the spin doctor is damaged, the inevitable result is that the client’s judgement is called into question, and the news coverage tonight focuses on just that- driven by Labour’s nudge, no dount, who want to do more than just see off Coulsen; Prime Minister Cameron himself becomes an easy target, too.
I can remember trying to explain to camera (and interview) shy CEOs that they were the people to take the limelight, not me. All too often, clients have the expectation that the “PR Person” is there to take the flack, handle the heat, dodge the bullets, etc. But, as most Number 10 spin doctors have found out, they have the disadvantage of being the lightening rod and surrogate target for the boss- which means the press will feel justified in having a go at you, no matter how good you are. The only one in my experience to emerge unscathed is my old friend, Simon Lewis, who (having experienced the pressure cooker of HM Queen’s publicity challenges) managed to get out of Brown’s number ten with his reputation intact- indeed, enhanced.
So, my advice to my PR students is “be careful out there”. When the spokesperson needs a spokesperson, then it’s time to let the client realise that they need to be in the firing line, too.

Due to wide applicative potential of peroxidases (POXs), the search for novel sources and forms, possibly with better characteristics and performances, is justified. In this study, POXs from Miscanthus x giganteus rhizomes grown in chernozem-like soil and mine tailings were examined. Higher activity of POXs in samples originating from the metal-contaminated soil was found. The quantity of acidic isoforms was much greater than basic. The rates of reactions catalysed by acidic POX isoforms decreased slightly at 50 °C, whereas stability of basic isoforms was affected at 40 °C. Concentrations of Zn, Mn and Fe were higher in rhizomes grown in mine tailings, and negatively correlated with the concentration of proteins. Basic POX isoforms effectively degraded CBB R250, while Amidoblack 10b was predominantly degraded by acidic isoforms. Thus, Miscanthus x giganteus can be used as a source of POXs which can be applied for dye decomposition and, possibly, waste water management.

We have two dogs, J and Spotty dog but my Youngest daughter has asked for another for Christmas. She seems to have a connection with animals, unless it is a fly she has a fear of those, and wants to be with them and near them at all times. Her dream, so she says, is to make animals of the sea better when she is older.
Whilst not wanting to disappoint her I also cannot have another dog to look after. Two dogs and three children I think is my current limit, but I would like to provide her with her Christmas wish. After researching online I discovered that on Argos Christmas top gift list is a My Dream Puppy which is part of the Little Live Pets range from Character Options. Snuggles looks perfect.
My youngest daughter can adopt Snuggles, as he has his own adoption certificate, in the same way we adopted Spotty dog. She will love to feed him with the bottle that is included, and treat him as her very own baby.
Snuggles moves like a real dog, his tummy moves in and out as he breathes. His eyes move and close when he gets tired and he makes real dog noises. Snuggles is also incredibly soft and cuddly.
Until it is time to make my youngest daughter Christmas wish come true I will be taking good care of Snuggles, but with just less cleaning up after him than the real dogs!
Snuggles is the perfect present for Christmas for anyone who is wanting a dog but is unable to have a real one.

A shocking video shows the moment an American couple narrowly escaped machete-wielding bandits on a rural road in Kenya.
Bryant Swenson was driving down a dirt road near Maai Mahiu, Kenya, with his wife Lauren on November 30 when the couple – who are from Utah but live currently in Nairobi – came upon a white van.
Standing behind the van – known as a matatu – were three masked men believed to have been trying to rob the vehicle.
When the Swensons approached the matatu took off, and the bandits suddenly charged the couple’s Toyota Land Cruiser instead.
Bryant put the car into reverse as the men ran at them, driving backward several feet before suddenly shifting back into drive and slamming his foot into the gas pedal.
The men wildly waving machetes – known as ponga – made contact with the Cruiser just as it surged forward away and raced down the bumpy road.
Lauren can be heard asking: ‘Are they still behind us?’ as a passenger in the backseat confirms that the men are still on their tail.
Soon after a police vehicle caught up with the bandits, resulting in gunfire that can be heard at the end of the video.
The Swensons said it was with ‘quick thinking and the grace of God’ that they were able to escape the frightening encounter unscathed.
The couple and their three children moved from Cedar City, Utah, to Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, around three years ago to open a CrossFit gym.
Updating his friends back home, Bryant posted the video of the near-machete attack on Facebook on December 1.
He wrote: ‘Our fitness can prepare us for life, but there are times when things happen so fast that we can only give credit to God for His protection.
‘The guy on the far left had a handgun, but couldn’t get it out of his waistbelt in time. They chose this spot for ambush because the road is very rough, but fortunately, we were in my 80 series. Also thankful for a manual transmission.

Check out this incredible light house the HVAC program created to display at Centralbration!
The United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) tracks over 700 occupations in 300 industries.
Their projected growth for these 700 occupations during the time period between 2010 and 2020 is 14.3%.
Their projected growth for the HVACR industry during this time period is 34.4%.
They estimate that 31.2% of the HVACR industry workforce is baby boomers that will retire during this time and need to be replaced.
As 78 million baby boomers retire, there are only 40 million Millennials to replace them. If the HVACR industry can recruit the same proportional share of the workforce as it does today, there will be roughly half as many people to employ as there was in the past.
In summary, 65.6% of the people in the HVACR industry in the year 2020 will be people not in the HVACR industry in the year 2010!
When Kip Bagley of EMCOR took the stage he said I understand most HVACR programs have more job openings than students to fill. However, did you know that the companies interested in hiring your graduates include: EMCOR, Carrier Commercial, Trane Service, Johnson Controls, Siemens, and McKinstry?
Bagley further explained that these companies are just a few of the over 1,400 members of the Mechanical Service Contractors of America (MSCA) looking to fill jobs across the United States. The message was clear, MSCA contractors want to work with HVACR educational programs to fill the positions they have throughout North America.
Many of the HVACR jobs going unfilled provide the potential to earn a six digit per year salary, health insurance, pensions, computers, service vehicle, uniforms, lifelong learning opportunities, college credits, certifications, and a career with unlimited opportunity for growth and advancement. Bagley wants to make certain that instructors know of these opportunities to help their students make the best choices for their careers.
His goal in attending was to build a partnership between the MSCA member companies and the HVACR educational programs located through the United States and Canada. He encouraged attendees to find a local affiliate by visiting http://www.mcaa.org/directory/local.cfm?s=x. HVACR instructors should reach out to invite local MSCA contractor members to visit their programs, join their advisory boards, and start working together.
Mr. Bagley’s presentation, photos and other conference information is available at http://www.hvacexcellence.org/nhetc/Archive/2015/Home.aspx.
Instructors are encouraged to visit http://www.mcaa.org/msca/recruiting to learn more about the recruitment and training efforts of the MSCA. For assistance in finding a local contactor member or for any questions, instructors can contact Dania Soto at dsoto@mcaa.org.

Aims: We use 2D single and multi-thread prominence fine-structure models to obtain the synthetic DEM curves. These are then compared with the DEM curves derived from observations.
Methods: We use the temperature and electron density structure resulting from the 2D models and numerically compute the average synthetic DEM curves for different orientations of the threads with respect to the line of sight.
Results: We show that the synthetic DEM curves obtained by 2D modelling are similar to the DEM curves derived from observations of quiescent prominences.
Conclusions: The DEM curves derived from observations, which are most reliable above temperatures of 20 000 K, can be extended towards cool prominence-core temperatures by supplementing them with synthetic DEM values obtained by modelling hydrogen Lyman spectra originating mainly at temperatures below 20 000 K. On the other hand, the observed DEM can constrain the temperature structure of the prominence fine structures above the formation temperatures of the Lyman spectrum.

Almost all cases of Nelson syndrome follow bilateral adrenalectomy in patients who have Cushing disease due to an ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma. Recently, high-resolution MRI has allowed for detection of microadenomas at an early phase of Nelson syndrome. Most adenomatous corticotropes still retain their responsiveness to corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Following bilateral adrenalectomy and normalization of cortisol levels that had suppressed hypothalamic CRH production, an increase in CRH occurs, which then has a trophic effect on the tumor, stimulating its growth. Regulatory gene mutations and mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor may also be important in determining tumor behavior.
Studies have demonstrated the difference in the mechanism of increased ACTH secretion in Nelson syndrome and untreated Cushing disease. Detailed analyses delineate marked ACTH secretory burst mass amplification and anomalous regularity of successive pulse size and timing in Nelson syndrome, compared with Cushing disease or controls.  Authors of these studies speculate that these distinctions are due to unique tumoral secretory properties, concurrently required glucocorticoid replacement, and/or hypothalamic injury associated with prior radiotherapy in Nelson syndrome.
Nelson syndrome is a rare disorder, making accurately determining its incidence difficult. One review indicates that Nelson syndrome may be seen in anywhere from 8-44% of patients who have undergone bilateral adrenalectomy for Cushing disease. [4, 5, 6] Fewer series were published in the 1990s than in the 1980s, suggesting that the syndrome is becoming increasingly less common. This decline in prevalence can be attributed to significant improvements in all aspects of the assessment and management of patients with Cushing syndrome in the last 10-20 years.  These include introduction of the sensitive ACTH assay, the advent of high-resolution MRI, the availability in some centers of inferior petrosal sinus sampling, the refinement of the transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, and advances in pituitary radiation therapy, which have made bilateral adrenalectomy a less attractive therapy for Cushing disease.
Even in early series, only 20-40% of patients with a pituitary adenoma who had bilateral adrenalectomy developed Nelson syndrome. Younger age and pregnancy appeared to be risk factors. The former possibly represents a bias because younger patients have a longer time for tumor growth to occur and symptoms to become manifest.
No data on this issue are available.
Corticotroph adenomas are observed predominantly in females; thus, Nelson syndrome is more common in women than men.
Corticotroph adenomas are observed predominantly in young and middle-aged women. The risk of developing Nelson syndrome appears to be higher in younger individuals than in older individuals.

If you’ve heard our hymns, you have noticed that each hymn begins with a short, introductory musical phrase chanted by the Director. This is called an intonation or ‘apechema’ (απηχημα) in Greek. We decided to include these apechemata before each hymn because we envision this CD as a teaching CD for families. Our goal is to introduce families to the wealth and beauty of the Orthodox Church’s Byzantine Music, both in Greek and in English. Much like the Church’s Byzantine iconography, the Byzantine music, with its style, sounds and script have become integral to the way we worship as Orthodox Christians.
The hymns of Byzantine or Greek Music have been composed in many different musical ‘modes’. Usually, the director of the choir chants the ‘apechema’ of the mode immediately before the choir starts chanting a hymn. An apechema is a short musical phrase that delineates the main features of the specific mode: the basis, the intervals, the main notes, melodic tractions and endings. Thus the choir director offers the characteristic sounding or the ‘idea’ of that mode and introduces all the choir members to the chanting of the hymn.

To read or not to read? That’s the question!
Many of you have asked about a book you received in the mail titled, The Great Controversy. It appears that many areas of San Antonio have been the target for a campaign to spread the information contained in the book far and wide. Here is a little background on the book and a couple of suggestions.
The Great Controversy … contains the story of the past, the present, and the future. In its outline of the closing scenes of this earth’s history, it bears powerful testimony in behalf of the truth. … for in The Great Controversy, the last message of warning to the world is given more distinctly than in any of my other books.
The Seventh-Day Adventists are a denomination of the Christian Church that believe that Christians must keep the seventh day (Saturday) as the Sabbath (in keeping with the Old Testament command). They also are strongly focused on the soon return of Christ (His advent). That is the reason for her emphasis on The Great Controversy. If you are interested in reading more about Seventh-Day Adventist beliefs from a Lutheran perspective, click here.
The book focuses heavily on the teachings of William Miller, the founder of the Seventh-Day Adventist church. Miller teaches many things about the return of Christ that simply are NOT true according to the Bible. He also made several predictions about the end of the world and the return of Christ that simply did not happen. Many Adventists believe that The Great Controversy is divinely inspired. That is simply NOT true.
My encouragement is to invest your time and energy in reading the Bible instead of The Great Controversy. If you are looking for another book to read this summer, let me suggest Celebration of Discipline by Richard J Foster. It will be GREAT preparation for our fall sermon series beginning the weekend after Labor Day. One more note: If you decide not to read The Great Controversy, please be environmentally responsible and recycle the book!
Recycled the book the day it arrived. Thank you for your great response.

Last weekend my fellow K-Town Fulbrighters and I went on our first big adventure away. Two of our colleagues in the English language department were delivering a paper they co-authored at a conference at Muğla Sitman Koç University. It just so happens that we have two fellow Fulbrighters placed there who could put us up. Seizing the opportunity, we loaded onto an 11 p.m. bus from Ankara (which we also reached by bus) and headed to Muğla (pronounced “moo-la”)!
the bus get’s a washing at a 3 a.m. stop. buses here don’t have bathrooms on them, so the buses stop every few hours for 15-30 minute breaks.
The three of us all live with English-speaking Turkish colleagues, and we speak English all day while teaching, so it is too easy to remain in our linguistic comfort zone in K-Town. (Relatively of course… our co-workers are essentially the only English speakers in the whole city. Basic interactions to buy groceries, ride the bus to the university, etc. all require some basic Turkish, but not much.) Traveling is an awesome way for us to get out, practice/ be forced to communicate in Turkish, explore new places, and learn more about ourselves, each other, and this beautiful country, Turkey, in which we now live.
A consequence of what we’re calling “linguistic impotency…” handing my ohio id to the bus ticket man to help him spell my name resulted in this new persona: Bayan (Ms.) Tess River.
Muğla is a small city in the Southern Aegean region. Actually, we spent most of our time in Akyaka (pronounced ah-key-ah-ka), a small resort enclave on the coast, where our FF (Fulbright friend/s) are living. Though I knew, of course, that the living situation of each Fulbrighter varies widely depending on placement city, I couldn’t help but groan with envy while stretched out in my bathing suit with the sun overhead by the swimming pool at his apartment Friday morning when we arrived. Like many Turkish cities, Akyaka is home to a crazy amount of stay cats and dogs, but we were additionally amused by the maybe 15 chickens one of FF’s neighbors keeps outside the house, where they wander around on the street!
In the afternoon we hopped on a dolmuş(minibus) to head to Mugla University, where we met up with our K-Town colleagues, explored campus, had a nice lunch together, and attended our colleagues’ presentation.
Later that evening, the whole K-Town crew and FF enjoyed a lovely waterfront seafood dinner in Akyaka along the Azmak River, where we were entertained by hordes of ducks who strategically float around, hoping for bits of ekmek (bread) to be thrown their way by diners. After parting ways with our colleagues, we set out to indulge in a luxury K-Town doesn’t afford: local watering holes.
The next morning the K-Town Krew + FF smashed on an amazing Turkish breakfast, a standard meal and cultural practice which warrants its own treatment in a separate blog post. With the sustenance it deliciously and inexpensively afforded (about $4 USD/person, in a resort town on a Saturday morning!), we set off for the beach.
The waterfront at Akyaka is certainly one of, if not the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. We hiked up through a nearby park, and were able to get a number of great shots of the water, and the area. There was a kite-surfing competition happening about two miles away, which was cool to watch from a high vantage point. This region is known as “the Turquoise Coast” for a reason! I’ll let these pictures do the talking.
all smiles on the Turquoise Coast!
Later that evening, on invitation from FF’s awesome landlord and a group of friendly ERASMUS (a European university exchange program) students, a crew of us boarded a rented minibus bound for Marmaris, a nearby resort town known, among other things, for its nightlife. We boogied at an open air disco named “Crazy Daisy” (hilarious). In the not so wee hours of the morning we headed back to Akyaka, grabbed a few hours of sleep, and headed to the Mugla bus station for the bus ride back to Ankara, which I thought might never end.
Overall, an awesome weekend in a beautiful place with great people. What more could I ask for?
A new tradition: K-Town Kids pose with Ataturk in every city they visit. Many more to come!

My works on paper and canvas explore the use of paper as an ongoing dialogue between painting and collage. I use painted paper as one would handle a brush to elicit brushstrokes on canvas. Never using the new, I enjoy the felt quality of the discarded: blueprints, old ledgers, chart papers, and used canvas drop cloths are materials that offer an aesthetic conversation with my work. The paint I apply to these various materials, whether in large cut pieces or intimate fragments, and affix to already created surfaces, offers countless opportunities to express color, line, and form. Though sourced materials are not intended to be recognizable in these abstractions, sometimes surface traces remain that become a moment of discovery for the discriminating viewer.
Daniel Anselmi was a Monhegan Artists Residency Fellow in 2013. He has shown in juried exhibitions including the University of Maine Triennial, University of New England, Portland Public Library, Cambridge Art Association’s Northeast Prize Show, and CMCA. His work has also been in 5 solo exhibitions and included in 24 group exhibitions.
Anselmi’s forms are elegant, but he insistently denies their ability to distill into recognizable figures. Instead, they dance among system aspects like composition, circuitry and rhythm, and they teasingly flicker between positive and negative space.

San Diego, CA � March 22, 2007 � New Era Productions is proud to announce the immediate availability of the 2 DVD set, UNDERSTANDING CELIAC DISEASE AND GLUTEN INTOLERANCE: A VIDEO PROGRAM FOR PATIENTS, PHYSICIANS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS.
Celiac disease and gluten intolerance are poorly understood, with symptoms that mimic many other conditions. Patients with celiac disease often have GI complaints, but can also suffer from anemia, infertility, short stature, IBS, joint pain, osteoporosis, Type I diabetes, neurologic problems, and itchy skin rashes. It can often take more than a decade for a person with celiac disease to receive the correct diagnosis, because patient and physician awareness has been lacking. But now with New Era Productions� instructional DVD set, everyone with celiac disease and gluten intolerance, as well as physicians, nurses, dieticians, family, friends, restaurant and food store owners can educate themselves about this common disorder. State of the art 3D animation, as well as an easy menu for quick review of specific chapters, creates an easy learning experience for children, adults and healthcare providers. This complete set of information is available nowhere else!
Resource Guide and Sponsors- A comprehensive video resource directory of support groups, books, websites, dietary guides, gluten free foods, testing, supplements, and much more!
Director, Center for Celiac Research. Co-founder of Alba Therapeutics, specializing in developing alternative treatments for celiac disease.
This educational DVD set contains a wealth of expertise from years of patient care and is now available through New Era Productions with a portion of the proceeds donated toward active celiac disease research and education. New Era Productions believes in preserving the environment. We therefore use recycled products whenever possible. The packaging for this DVD set is made from recycled materials.

Being a Chicago 'Northsider', a full-time Realtor and a part-time Cubs fan, I know a little about simply putting one foot in front of the other just to make it to the finish line be it a snow blizzard, a lengthy negotiation or another 'lovably' losing season. And having just completed my final quarter accounting entries and noting that, once again, I finished the calendar year in a virtual photo finish between closed Buy side and closed List side transactions, I can only conclude that the North Side Chicago housing market remained fairly stable throughout 2006 (with an actual slight up-tick in property appreciation). And believe me when I say that I really do make an effort to be objective before I commit such statements to publication. Few things annoy me more than someone who purports to be 'fair and balanced' then subsequently proves otherwise. So allow me to share with you some specific numbers from my personal spreadsheet.
On the List side I did find myself with some "carry over" inventory from the previous year and unless I receive a handful of contracts that intend to close in the next two days (ha, ha), I'll have some carry over into 2007 as well. But all things equal, buyer interest and showing activity remains high even if the actual contract is taking longer to materialize and thus, negotiate out. And to be fair, my Buyers and I have likewise been a little more exhaustive in our respective searches and a little less rushed to bring our initial offers to the table.
So as the sun slowly sets upon these remaining hours of 2006 I am glad to report all is alive and well in my little 50 block corner of the Chicago Real Estate world. I've been to a few holiday functions in town lately where I've heard more than one Realtor state otherwise. I generally just take it all in and add little, if anything, to such conversations. I believe what I believe and when it comes to my business this means trackable improvement over the previous year, be it tremendous or ever so little. And in the end I suppose, it simply goes back to something I learned in the first seminar I ever attended..."Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're probably right."

Microsoft is working hard to improve the Windows experience before the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. The tech giant has rolled out Build 14352, bringing a plethora of fixes to a series of annoying issues. More precisely, Build 14352 fixes 23 Windows 10 issues, ranging from Microsoft Edge instability problems and missing icons to bluescreen issues.
Microsoft’s main source of inspiration when it comes to improving its products is, of course, its users’ feedback. Up until recently, the Windows 10 Feedback Hub was exclusive to Insiders, but Microsoft decided to bring the app to users outside the Preview program. In this manner, the tech giant can collect in-depth feedback from all users and thus gain a better perspective on what needs to be improved.
In just two weeks, Microsoft’s engineering team managed to fix more than 20 issues, paving the way for the eagerly awaited Windows 10 Anniversary Update. The known issues list now includes only three bugs concerning Microsoft Edge extensions, Cortana restart issues and Store navigation problems.

Reunited, Doug and Robyn embark on a dangerous mission to save thousands of lives in Mumbai.
Dougster, are you looking for something?
Mr. Marlowe has invited me to a police fundraiser tonight.
Why would Jerry Wax snitch to you instead of me?
where Chandekar's drug dealing has depressed prices.
But then he'll leave everybody homeless.
He owns this place now.
Your son was going to testify against your brother.
would do to you if he found out you were talking to me?
Allow me to offer my condolences on the death of your nephew.
with a criminal in broad daylight.
What do you mean you're the rat?
Doug, you need to get back here.
I was this far from putting up a skyscraper in Mumbai.
There's some things I still have to do there though.
Why isn't this Stanley D'Mello here in court?
but you're a pretty man.
Oh, yeah. Right. That stupid engagement party.
Where do you think you learned it from?
I figured it out, Dad. I'm a detective, remember?
Priya introduces Doug to the case of a missing Canadian traveler with connections to the drug-smuggling gangster, Gopal Chandekar.
A trisula is a sacred weapon of the god Shiva.
- watching us and he dropped it. - What'd he look like?
- That truck could have been his! - It could be.
to report that her friend was killed at a paan shop.
And she had the swami's blood all over her hands.
We're not free to say.
Now we gotta figure out why gopal's man shot that girl.
- Oh, yeah. - You should try it, at least.
I can't. I have to be home before seven, remember?
I'm shocked that there was nine stanleythemanly's before you.
Yeah. Gopal and amal chandekar.
You never told me you were working with a man of letters!
- Bapa! - You must forgive him, abishek.
We think he's with gopal chandekar.
I said, "where is it"?
It's all right. I've decided to go home.
So, I don't have any plans tonight.
In the series premiere, Doug is coerced into going to Mumbai to visit his father and meets Priya Sehgal. Together, they fight to uncover the truth behind a false murder confession.

Referee and Blackwell's corner have to look at themselves.
Whilst Ufc often looks way more brutal I find the refs a lot better and decisive.
Yeah even with Eubank Snr coming in and telling Jnr to take him out via body blows because he could see the damage being done..
BTW I didnt see the fight, only the various news around it afterwards.
I think that interpretation is wrong. It's going about a bit saying old man Eubank was looking out for his safety etc but IMO he was saying to attack the body to win the fight as all the sustained head shots hadn't dropped him so to try a new tactic. Few pros on radio saying the same today. But I guess since he was the one who fought Watson all those years ago there was a bit of genuine amazement from Eubank snr the ref hadn't stopped it.
He said: "If he doesn't stop it and we keep beating him like this, one, he is getting hurt, and two, if it goes to a decision why didn't the referee stop the fight? I don't get why.
"So maybe you shouldn't leave it to the referee.
"You're not going to take him out to the face, you're going to take him out to the body."
Will be interesting to see who comes out on top this time......and with Tyson Fury......anything's possible !!
I'm really getting excited about Khan and Alvarez next weekend.
Was a good 6 rounds of boxing and a devastating punch to finish. I had Kahn at 12/1.. I thought was great odds.. Doh! I guess next for Kahn is back to the UK for a fight with Brook.. A war of the roses kinda thing. And GGG next for Alvarez. Watching this reinforced just how good Mayweather really is.
So Canelo vacates the WBC title......obviously doesnt fancy triple G right now!!!!
Shannon Briggs looked surprisingly good last night, pretty fast for an old guy. Him and Haye will fight in September now, the build up should be entertaining.
I wouldn't be surprised if he fails a drug test! Guy just looked in too good a shape for an old dude.
Vargas-Salido is an absolute war!!
Not a word about the passing of the greatest sportsman the world has seen?
slampay, tnlawyer, dontpanic and 1 others like this.
GGG v's Kell Brook September 10 in London!.....should be interesting Brook moving up from welterweight to make the fight.
I don't know who Brook is but he will get destroyed.
Moving up a class to fight GGG?

The abel is the traditional woven product of Vigan and the Ilocos region. The abel cloth is known for being a strong, colorful material. The fabric is so strong and beautiful that some families have them as heirlooms that last as long as their antique furnishings. The abel is made from yarns of cotton or sagut that are sourced from the many lands in northern Luzon that are dedicated to the growing of this plant. After the cotton is harvested, it is prepared into yarns and dyed. The different colored yarns are then arranged in a wooden handloom to create varied and unique designs. The process is intricate and labor-intensive. Weavers must master synchronizing the movements of their hands and feet to properly use the wooden handloom.
The use of the handlooms and other weaving accessories can be traced from early Spanish occupation. This equipment was used in homes to weave abel cloth for blankets, pillow cases and clothes. These crafts were said to be a major export during the period of the Spanish galleon trade. It is said that the abel was so popular a product that it proved to be a big competition to the Spanish weaving industry, threatening its very existence. At present, only a few of the barangays in Vigan have maintained this age-old weaving industry.
Barangays Camangaan, Mindoro and San Pedro are among these. Barangay Mindoro is known for producing binakol or blankets with geometric patterns. Barangays Camangaan and San Pedro also have their own distinct designs. However, it is Barangay Camangaan that is most known because it is the source of most of the abel products that are sold by shops in Crisologo Street and the Vigan Public Market, where local and foreign visitors buy their souvenirs. Abel products are best as wedding gifts because they are very sturdy and beautifully-designed; but, most buyers need no excuse to buy them outside of their great craftsmanship, which can be enjoyed as bed and table linen. There are also wall decors, mosquito nets, towels, robes and clothing that are sold using the abel.
The design and colors of the abel are somewhat similar to those found in the Cordillera region, but it is continually evolving as present-day designers strive to update its use for the greater appreciation of the public. Local designers with the support of government mount fashion shows to show how the hand-made abel can be used with other fabrics to create clothes for everyday and special occasions. Luthgarda in Los Angeles, has also used the abel in its ready-to-wear collection since 1998, attracting the attention of Hollywood celebrities. Her abel-accented designs are also exported to Asian and European countries.

The Graham has a rooftop bar that overlooks Washington D.C. It will reopen Spring of 2019.
Victoria and I have a tradition of having a Galentine’s staycation weekend every year at one of our favorite hotel’s in DC. This year, we both knew we wanted to spend our girls weekend at The Graham Hotel in Georgetown.
Greeted with a bottle of champagne and bubbles for the tub.
Victoria is getting married and will soon move to New York City. And though that doesn’t mean our annual Galentine’s weekend will come to an end, it does mean that this may be the last weekend that I will have alone with her for a while.
Nothing better than a weekend spent in the city you love and with company you adore.
bruch in the morning and a live band at night.
Don’t forget to try thier signature bathtub drink. It’s delicious!
Upon our arrival, I immediately noticed how genuinely kind and caring the staff was. We were greeted with smiling faces and warm conversation. Anyone who has met Victoria and I knows how much we love to talk and get to know people. So that means, we spent a good amount of time hanging out in the lobby while we laughed with the front desk, the doorman, the valet, and the bellhop. That’s how much we enjoyed everyone there, we just couldn’t stop talking to them.
But now it was time to get our two-night Galentine’s staycation started! So Victoria and I popped open the champagne, ordered room service, and turned on The Bachelor so we can start our drinking game and make fun of every second of it. Our first night was spent in pajama’s, tucked in their cozy, luscious beds. It was the perfect night for relaxation after a long work day.
If you plan on ordering room service at The Graham, I highly recommend ordering the crab cakes and truffle fries.
Rub-a-dub-dub, two bloggers in a tub.
The next day, all this mama could think about was the giant bathtub that was waiting for me. This is one of only two suites with a bathtub and we were lucky enough to get one. Never have I ever seen a tub so large, let alone bathe in one! I guess you could say I was bubbling with joy.
What a view! We can’t wait to come back in the Spring.
I also recommend ordering either the chicken and biscuits or the chicken and waffles because their chicken is juicy and cooked to perfection.
The last evening spent at The Graham, we headed back to their speakeasy after a day of running around in Georgetown and enjoyed our favorite cocktails with some friends. We shared many laughs with old and new friends and gave Andrew the bartender a hard time. When the night was over, we headed back into that comfy bed where it swallowed us up into a deep sleep.
Photography credit: Thank you to our wonderful photographer, Marcus (IG: @opex.photos) for these outstanding photos!
Every single person that we encountered at The Graham is responsible for making our stay so memorable. THANK YOU!
It was mid-morning as I headed upstairs to start cleaning the master bedroom. For some reason, I became easily tired after walking up the stairs and bending down to pick up a few things off the floor. I have a slight touch of asthma so, I just figured it was the cause. I remember sitting down thinking it would only be a few minutes for me to catch my breath. Moments later, I wake up to find myself on the bed with my body immovable and my mind trying to piece together what had just occurred with cloudy confusion. I tried opening my eyes wider to see past the blurry and narrow vision but had no control over my heavy lids. I tried moving a finger, a hand, lifting my head or opening my mouth to speak but it felt as though I were paralyzed. It seemed like a horrible dream. In my head, I was not in a state of panic, but instead, I was just….numb, and I couldn’t understand why I was motionless. Why I had zero strength, no control, or why I wasn’t able to open my eyes or mouth.
I had no idea how many seconds, minutes, or hours had gone by since walking up the stairs to this moment. After a few moments of using every ounce of strength I had to try to move, talk or blink, finally, a word came out. “What?”, I said with a slurred speech, “What’s happening to me?.” As my eyes started to produce moisture, I was able to blink. And with a sudden jolt, I was up on my feet as though nothing had happened.
I had no idea that this would be the start of many panic attacks. Where I lay motionless with absolutely no control over my body. Where I have no recollection of how I ended up on the bed, the floor, the couch. Where words came out slurred and unidentified. Where I had no awareness of time and when seconds, minutes, and sometimes hours had passed me quicker than a blink of an eye. Where fear grips me and I am tangled in its web. Every single time I woke up and after several minutes of trying to push through the paralyzed state, my mind would run through what I had missed and what took place when I was out. Trying to recall every step and move before I laid unaware and detached.
No warning ever came before the attacks. There were no patterns, no symptoms, no prodrome. They were unpredictable and unprovoked. They just came. I guess that’s why they call them “attacks”. I’d be out like a light and then jolt back up as though nothing had happened. And with a burst of energy that ran through my body after gaining my control, and I would start cleaning, cooking, and go right back to my duties.
If you are reading this and have had a similar experience, I’m sharing this today not because I’m here to give you a quick fix on how to handle or prevent future attacks. I’m not here to give a medical diagnosis or tell you all the things you should be taking/doing/or changing. I am simply here to say that you are not alone. After every attack, I honestly feel like a freak. Guilt runs through my mind as I try to assess what I did wrong to cause it or bring it on. I feel week, frail and inferior.
How could a young woman in her 20’s, with a roof overhead, food on her plate, and a closet that is overflowing with so many garments that it can’t even close, possibly feel this way?
How can one feel this helpless and alone when she has a solid group of friends and a family who loves her?
How could her body possibly give out on her like this?
How could it be that I have zero control over my body during these moments?
These are questions I ask myself every single time I snap back into reality.
But I understand that I am not alone. And this very statement is comforting. We all have burdens.
We all have aches in our heart and bruises in our minds.
But there is one word, one thing, that can help mend the brokenness.
That can help comfort the weary.
The love that constantly surrounds me.
The love of my family, friends, community, and church.
The love from my Creator.
The love I feel every day that gives me a reason to get up and live life.
Though at times we all feel loneliness and no matter your circumstances, you are in the company of many hearts.
Even when I was abandoned and unwanted and left as an orphan, I still knew I was loved by The One who mended me in my mother’s womb. By The One who called purpose for my life before it even began. And by The One who knows the number of hairs on my head and calls me by name.
“That she may be rooted and deeply grounded in love and grace.” This phrase reverberates through my prayers over my daughter. This world is so quick to judge, self-serving, and slow to forgive. I pray that she stands apart from the crowd with truth, forgiveness, and compassion pumping through her veins.
Extending grace isn’t always easy to do, but a root of bitterness doesn’t destroy the other person, it instead destroys ourselves. It’s guaranteed to deprive you of joy and harden your heart.
I’m examining my own heart today and extending the grace and forgiveness that hinders me from a richer, more purposeful life.
you fails to receive the grace of God.
to trouble you, corrupting many.

In feudal france everything was sticky. Wages, tithes, and the price of bread were all fixed by tradition, and changing amounts was politically impossible. Instead, when for various reasons (market fluctuations, wars, greed) people wanted to change amounts, they would alter units of measurement. For example if flour became more expensive, bakers knew they could not adjust the price of a loaf of bread without provoking a riot, but they could make the loaves lighter and make them bigger and fluffier to compensate. This was hugely political and controversial, with people generally being aware of what was going on, but it was common. It was probably the main force leading to varying definitions of measurement units by the same name in different places.
The introduction of standardized measurement units was politically unpopular at the local level because it removed this flexibility. Once the size of a bushel was fixed, a lord could no longer increase tithes by requiring payment in larger baskets.  I think this is partly why greece is in such a bad position now. They accepted a more standardized measurement unit for money, the euro, and now when they are in a crisis where the traditional response is to use inflation to decrease debts they don't have that option.
When measurement units became inflexible, after a period of adjustment people learned that prices and amounts needed to be flexible. Bread could become more expensive, taxes could be cut or raised. Perhaps we need to learn to do this with money. We really don't like it when people don't pay back money borrowed, but inflating away debts is basically the same thing. So maybe we need to be more open to debt modification somehow?
