These buttery brown sugar cookies are shortbread-like cookies made with only 5 ingredients. These are excellent cookies to bake for a special occasion or everyday treat, and they are egg-free.
They're delicious with only the chopped pecans for flavor and crunch, but there are many other variations you might want to try. See the tips and variations for many possible add-ins, decorating ideas, and some tips for chopping pecans.
Heat the oven to 325 F. Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add the brown sugar and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla.
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour.
Scoop portions of cookie dough with a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and shape each into a ball. Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 1/2 inches apart.
Lightly grease the bottom of a glass or other small container with a flat bottom and dip it in granulated sugar, pourable brown sugar, or raw sugar. Press the bottom of the glass lightly on a cookie ball to flatten slightly. Redip the glass in sugar and repeat with the remaining balls of cookie dough.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly browned on the bottoms.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 month, or freeze (undecorated) for up to 2 to 3 months.
*If using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of table salt or fine sea salt.
If pecans are rancid, they will ruin your cookies. Always sniff or taste pecans before you use them. If you don't bake often, store any remaining pecans in an airtight container or zip-close plastic bag and refrigerate them for up to 4 months (depending on their freshness). Or freeze pecans (or any nuts) for up to 8 months.
How to Chop Nuts: For best results, chop the pecans by hand with a sharp knife. If using a food processor, use quick pulses and don't overprocess or you'll end up with ground nuts or nut butter.
Add 1/2 cup of Bits O' Brickle Bits or Heath Toffee Bits to the cookie dough with the pecans.
Add 1/2 cup of regular or mini semisweet chocolate chips to the cookie dough with the pecans.
Replace the chopped pecans with chopped walnuts.
Put 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips and 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until the chocolate has melted. Stir until smooth and blended. Dip the cooled cookies in melted chocolate to partially cover, or drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies.
Sift confectioners' sugar over the cooled cookies.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the batter with the flour for spiced pecan cookies.

CHICAGO – The University of Chicago baseball team began its final home stand of year with a 22-run outburst to seize both games of a Saturday afternoon doubleheader from visiting California Institute of Technology.
The Maroons (21-9 record) have now won 12 of their past 14 games. The Beavers dropped to 4-32 on the year.
The first contest ended 7-4 in favor of the hosts as a five-run second inning gave UChicago the cushion it needed to fend off a late Caltech rally. Junior righthander Brenton Villasenor battled for six innings to earn the win, yielding 10 hits but holding the Beavers to three runs while striking out five. First-year reliever David Clarke came on for the save in the final inning.
In the second game of the day, Caltech and UChicago traded runs before the Maroons blew the game open in the seventh inning. Junior outfielder Josh Parks mashed a three-run homer and the home team never looked back en route to a 15-1 victory. Junior pitcher Jacob Petersen – the winner for the Maroons – racked up nine strikeouts in 6.2 innings. Relievers Patrick Murphy, Arno Curtis and Scott Rothschild combined to finish off a team pitching effort that held the Beavers to just two hits. The four UChicago pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts.
Caltech threatened to score in the top of the first as a pair of leadoff singles put runners on first and third with no outs. UChicago got out of the jam with the help of an unusual double play that resulted from a call of batter's interference on a third-strike steal attempt.
In the bottom of the second, the Maroons worked runners around the bases as three hits, two walks, and two defensive errors led to five runs. Junior first baseman Brady Sarkon got things going with a leadoff single. A walk and a wild pitch put runners on second and third for sophomore third baseman Drew Ventrelle, whose groundout drove in Sarkon. First-year shortstop Brian Lyle plated another run with a bunt single, then stole second and advanced to third on an errant throw. Lyle scored as junior outfielder Connor Hickey beat out an infield single. The Maroons picked up two more runs when junior catcher Ian Bohn drove a high fly ball down the line that the Beavers' right fielder could not track down in the swirling wind.
Caltech responded immediately with a run in the top of the third, but a double play and a strikeout snuffed out the incipient rally. In the bottom of the frame, UChicago once again moved Sarkon around after a leadoff single, with another grounder from Ventrelle bringing him in.
The Maroons pushed their tally to seven runs in the bottom of the fourth as Parks grounded out to score senior outfielder Maximiliano Larsen. From then on out, it would be up to the defense. A pair of doubles sparked a Caltech rally in the top of the sixth, with the Beavers scoring three. Another leadoff double in the top of the seventh hinted at more trouble, but when a Beaver baserunner left too early for third on a fly ball to right, the Maroons alertly touched second base for a double play. Clarke then induced a groundout to end the ballgame for his sixth save of the season.
UChicago finished with seven hits and one error. Hickey went 2-for-3 with one RBI, one walk and one stolen base. Sarkon and Lyle (one RBI) were also 2-for-3.
The Maroons kept up the offensive pressure in the top of the first, filling the bases before a grounder from Parks and triple from Sarkon scored a pair of runs.
Both pitchers worked efficiently in the early going, as the teams combined for only three hits in the first four innings. Over the course of the opening three frames, Peterson struck out six batters in-a-row, with five going down swinging.
When Caltech pushed a run across in the top of the fourth to make the score 2-1, it seemed like a big moment in a tight pitcher's duel. The Maroons, however, created a bit of breathing room in the bottom of the fifth. Ventrelle led off with a walk and moved to second as Lyle laid down a well-placed bunt single. After a sacrifice put both runners in scoring position, Ventrelle raced home on a wild pitch and Lyle followed as Larsen ripped a single up the middle.
Eight runs on eight hits in the bottom of the seventh inning sealed the game. Hickey's RBI triple looked to be the hit of the day until Parks followed up with his blast over the fence in right-center field. A pitching change couldn't stop the Maroons as sophomore designated hitter Payton Jancsy slapped a RBI single to right. Hickey and Larsen did the same, and the score stood at 12-1.
UChicago tacked on three more in the bottom of the eighth as Lyle belted a two-run double and Hickey added his fourth RBI of the day.
The Maroons tallied 14 hits and one error in game two. Parks was 3-for-5 with three RBI, and Lyle hit 3-for-4 with one RBI. Hickey (three RBI) and Sarkon (one RBI) registered two hits apiece.
Petersen's win was his seventh of the year. He has only allowed one run over his last five appearances, spanning 25.2 innings.

text: Lingual Braces were first created to help cater for the growing demand in aesthetically pleasing dental treatments. For many, concerns lay in the fact that dental realignment, while necessary, required the application of unsightly metallic braces. Lingual braces offered up a new suggestion. Where once the metal supports central to the effectiveness of the device had taken a prominent place over the front of the teeth in the mouth, in lingual braces the same supports were moved to behind these teeth. This works to effectively hide the majority of these large metal supports from outside view, while maintaining the same level of pressure and support required for the realignment process. Lingual braces can be used for a variety of problems such as gaps, crowding and over or under bite related issues.

text: Updated December 7 - In the months leading up to Bolivia's December 6 election, polls signaled that President Evo Morales would be a shoo-in for reelection. In the end, he pulled in even more votes than predicted. Initial results showed him winning almost 63 percent of the votes—roughly 35 points ahead of his top rival, former Cochabamba Mayor Manfred Reyes Villa. Moreover, the Movement Toward Socialism party won a majority of seats in the lower house and captured a two-thirds supermajority in the Senate. Moreover, five departments and one province voted for autonomy. 11 municipalities voted for indigenous autonomy, allowing them to make use of traditional indigenous political structures. As a Los Tiempos interactive shows, political divisions remain between the country's east and west, with the former overwhelmingly voting for Morales while Manfred Reyes won three easter departments.

Contemporary reports from prisoners and witnesses humanize the grim realities of the POW camps. Perhaps no topic is more heated, and the sources more tendentious, than that of Civil War prisons and the treatment of prisoners of war (POWs). Partisans of each side, then and now, have vilified the other for maltreatment of their POWs, while seeking to excuse their own distressing record of prisoner of war camp mismanagement, brutality, and incompetence. It is only recently that historians have turned their attention to this contentious topic in an attempt to sort the wheat of truth from the chaff of partisan rancor. Roger Pickenpaugh has previously studied a Union prison camp in careful detail (Camp Chase) and now turns his attention to the Union record in its entirety, to investigate variations between camps and overall prison policy and to determine as nearly as possible what actually happened in the admittedly over-crowded, under-supplied, and poorly-administered camps. He also attempts to determine what conditions resulted from conscious government policy or were the product of local officials and situations.
Roger Pickenpaugh is the author of a dozen works of history, including Rescue by Rail: Troop Transfer and the Civil War in the West, 1863 and Camp Chase and the Evolution of Union Prison Policy.

A dark, gothic antidote to the Yuletide candlelit backdrop.
Atmospheric, ghostly and unspeakably sad, If I Can is a narrative poem, fusing the extant shards of poetry and prose of those Pre-Raphaelites that built and embellished Red House.
Covering themes of loss and longing in the 1860s, the production is presented through an innovative new form; an audio drama delivered by MP3 player. The audience will range around this Arts and Crafts gem, free to roam at will, drink in hand.
The property will be populated by Palimpsest actors, in character and in costume. You will choose whom to follow as their lives spool out; as if the very walls could speak and give up their secrets..

‘The Scientist’ is a single from the band Coldplay. The song has a great music video, telling the storyline backward.
Originally composed and performed on the piano, this one guitar arrangement uses an open tuning, something Coldplay do well, especially on their first (and in my opinion best) album ‘Parachutes’.
By allowing the top two strings (tuned to C and F) to be a part of every chord we get different extensions for the chords that are unique and bind the chord progression together. This is a similar technique to how ‘Wonderwall’ is arranged.
In the video lessons, you’ll see all chords played for the entire song using an open tuning.
In most piano players’ favourite key of F, these are the chords during the intro/verse/outro.
The chorus has some strange extensions, the progression is simple, using only chords IV – I – V.
Finally, the instrumental section has just two chords.
Take the intermediate guitar course and get the TAB and full explanation of what’s happening in the video lesson.
The extensions created in ‘The Scientist’ are mainly achieved by utilizing the two top open strings, now tuned to C and F.
Many artists have based their arrangements, and sometimes entire sets, upon open tunings. John Martyn, Nick Drake, Joni Mitchel, and Ani Difranco have all created signature sounds with their tunings, sometimes ending up with one tuning per song!
If you feel this could be the way forward for you, start by changing only one or two strings. This will ensure you have a chance to know what’s happening on the fretboard.
Once the open tuning bug has bitten, it might never let go!

Virtual reality headsets like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift can create realistic virtual worlds, and motion controllers can even let you interact with objects in them. However, this is the part of the VR experience that can feel less than immersive. While you can see all these virtual objects, you can’t feel them. A Chinese company called Dexta Robotics wants to change that with claw-like exoskeleton gloves called Dexmo.
The idea is that objects in VR should have a certain size, as indicated by the way they are rendered. If a computer knows how large something is and the position of your hand, it should theoretically be able to generate a tactile response. The result could be true feedback on your fingers as you close them around a virtual rubber duck or the handle of a rocket launcher. Those objects would have different sizes, shapes, and even consistencies.
Dexmo is wireless and (allegedly) light enough that it won’t be fatiguing to use. There’s a loop for each fingertip, which is connected to an arm that pulls back on your fingers to simulate the force of grasping an object. It has kind of a spider-y vibe when you see it in action.
In addition to simulating how large an object in VR is, Dexmo can provide a sense of firmness by varying how abrupt the arms pull back on your fingers. For example, the handle of a sword would have very little give. But you’d experience a more gradual increase in force as you closed your hand around a virtual pillow.
As you can see in the demo video above, the Dexmo exoskeleton appears to exist in real life (there have been a few earlier prototypes, too). Dexta Robotics has created custom software to test the exoskeleton, and that’s all it works with right now. The company says it doesn’t want to release Dexmo until there’s actually consumer software available that can take advantage of it. That’s going to mean getting together with one of the big VR makers. The bulk of the demo uses an HTC Vive, which has better motion control than the competition right now — you can see the controllers fastened to the gloves. The company has also tested Dexmo with HoloLens, the Oculus Rift, and real-world applications like controlling robots.
Gaming is the obvious use case right now, but virtual reality in general will likely have more applications in the future. Integrating a sense of touch into the virtual world could be the next big step in recreating the Star Trek holodeck. However, Dexta Robotics hasn’t speculated on how much its exoskeleton gloves might cost. They sure look expensive.

The lactose is a carbohydrate (“sugar”) exclusively found in milk and dairy products. It is a disaccharide, composed of galactose and glucose.
In cheeses, there are only traces of lactose.
Breast milk has the highest concentration of lactose (main carbohydrate of breast milk) and is essential for brain growth and development of all mammals.
This is why, from birth, the baby produces, a specific enzyme in the small intestine, the lactase, which is able to digest the lactose and split it into two molecules: the glucose and the galactose.
Glucose, which can be also found in many types of foods, is the main source of energy for the body.
Galactose, which is only available naturally, in the lactose, will be metabolized and be the component of several molecules, such as cerebrosides, gangliosides and mucoproteins, serving various biological functions (neurological, muscular or immunological, among others). The galactose will be also one of the component of the molecules that determine ABO blood types in blood cells.
Lactose is an essential carbohydrates during early childhood and it provides the main energy for child development during the first months of life.
cow’s milk contains only 4.7% lactose (= 30% of the infant’s energy requirements).
The lactase activity is therefore maximum at birth but it decreases over the years and notably, it decreases progressively after weaning to reach less than 10% of level before weaning.
This is a normal phenomenon, called lactase non-persistence. However, the level of decline may vary among individuals.
In some populations, the decline of the lactase activity is more pronounced. It is the case among people of Asian, African, South American, Southern European and Australian Aboriginal descent.
However, in some populations who consume regularly dairy products even during adulthood, the lactase activity remains. It is mostly the case in Northern Europe.
Note that due to lactase non-persistence, adults can have difficulties to digest milk beyond a certain amount (a bowl) but can continue to take milk in small amounts or included in recipes. On the other hand, cheeses and fermented milks (yogurts) are very well tolerated.
What about not digested lactose?
In case of reduced lactase activity, some of the consumed lactose from dairy products will not be digested in the small intestine and will be used as a nutrient by the gut microbiota (the microorganism population living in the digestive tract).
In the colon, bacteria produce their own lactase and can digest the lactose. It will result in the production of short chain fatty acids (acetate, propionate, butyrate) and gases (hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane). Short chain fatty acids will serve locally as energy provider for the gut microbiome or be absorbed and transported to the liver for their metabolization.
Undigested lactose (as well as other milk carbohydrates) will contribute to promote the growth of bifidobacteria, a health-positive genus of bacteria present in the gut microbiome. Therefore the lactose act as a prebiotic, encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria for health. As with aging, there is a reduction in bifidobacteria, as well as markers of the immune function, the lactose can play an interesting life-long role in countering the aging-associated decline of some immune functions.
However, for some individuals, this bacterial fermentation of lactose produces gas and may increase the gut transit time and intracolonic pressure, resulting in one or many symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea or flatulence. This is what we call lactose intolerance. It is a lactose maldigestion that results in one or many digestive symptoms.
For most individuals, this lactose fermentation by the gut microbiome produces no or very few symptoms.

As I write this blog, we’re driving to our last hockey tournament of the season. The car is packed, texts have been flying around between parents verifying who is packing what, and half of the team is ready with their hair dyed blue. For the next 3 nights I will be with 17 boys, ages 9 to 10, countless siblings of various ages and of course the parents. During the day we’ll be running from rink to rink where in our division there are 7 more teams with kids, parents and siblings. There will be a lot of public toilet use.
Too much information? Perhaps, but these are the things I think (have nightmares) about. Reading an article that was recently published titled “The public washroom – friend or foe? An observational study of washroom cleanliness combined with microbiological investigation of hand hygiene facilities” does not help my paranoia of public washrooms. The researchers looked at 55 washrooms in buildings associated with a variety of societal classes including 5-star hotels and restaurants to libraries and public housing. As many may expect, washrooms in lower income areas were not as clean as those found in middle to high income areas. Environmental samples were taken from paper towel dispensers, hand dryers and door handles. Of the samples taken, 97% were positive for Staph that was resistant to 1 drug and more than 22% were resistant to 3 drugs.
While sampling, the researchers also completed a cleanliness audit and noted that 90% of the garbage bins were improperly closed, 46% of feminine sanitary bins were uncovered and more than 50% of the washrooms lacked shelves or areas to place personal items while cleaning and drying hands. The long and the short is that adequate hand hygiene is not always achievable when using public washrooms. Even if, like me, you wash your hands with soap following the proper technique and time, we may very quickly contaminate our hands by touching the paper towel dispenser, garbage bin or door knob.
The only saving grace (at least for me) is the fact that I am female. It is well know that there are gender differences when it comes to washing hands and this study appears to be no different. Of the 3 different Staph strains found, all 3 were found from the INTERNAL door handles of the men’s washrooms. Basically gals, if you’re out in public and your man uses the washroom you may not want to hold their hands, and if you do, make sure you wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before you eat anything!
As for me, I have packed 100 individually wrapped hand sanitizer wipes. They will be going wherever I go and you can be sure I’m going to be “that” mom constantly asking if the boys have washed their hands or not. The last thing I want is to come home with a sick kid, it’s bad enough he’s going to be tired!

Ryan Gladstone is a very funny man. He’s also talented: he has to be, to try telling every famous story ever written – from the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh to War and Peace to Rocky (including the five sequels) – in a single hour. George Orwell’s Animal Farm takes about 10 seconds, Romeo and Juliet less. That leaves more time, maybe a whole minute or more, for big numbers like Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelung. Heck, he even squeezes in a semi-improvised tale based on audience suggestions. Friday night, when he debuted his new show, that improvisation with input from a sold-out audience had something to do with alien romance, chocolate and a plot to destroy Earth. Gladstone has the energy of a hyperactive youngster and the nerve of a stand-up comic, and it’s hard to tell whether he or the audience is having more fun. Even the rough edges of his brand-new show (on Friday, he consulted a cheat sheet more than once) fit his gonzo performance style. The show’s destined to be a fringe favourite.
This confused and inert one-woman show finds Emma Godmere playing a young woman who confronts a family secret and learns to forgive those who have unwittingly injured her – or something like that. James Fitzgerald’s script tries to do far too much, cobbling together multiple narratives along with snatches of music and dance in a storytelling format. The central motif is a Maritimes ghost tale, but, at least in this production, it’s a ghost story almost devoid of tension. Fitzgerald also directed the show: not the wisest move since he seems not to have the requisite distance from his script to make something of it or to show Godmere, who’s in over her head, a reason for actually being on stage. Billed as a dark comedy, the show is neither.
What stories did you create as a kid to help you manage the world? Were you a dragon-slayer? An hypnotically beautiful princess? And, now an adult, what stories help you navigate a smaller but no less puzzling world? Nicolas Di Gaetano and Emily Pearlman, the creative duo at the heart of Ottawa’s Mi Casa Theatre, invite us to ponder such questions – along with simply reveling in their fantastical style of theatre – in this new work in progress. Using a homemade armoire as the major set piece and enclosing the audience in a rough-hewn space like a child would make for a living room performance, Di Gaetano and Pearlman do what they do best: evoke memories, fragile hope, visions of fantasy and reality, and a profound sadness as they unveil a story about two young siblings. They also make some pretty good whale noises and sing original tunes. Is the new show as good as Countries Shaped Like Stars, their fringe hit of two years ago? It hasn’t yet found that same degree of lightness to buoy up the heavy stuff, but it’s well on its way.

Does anyone really think Hillary Clinton is a particularly good "listener?"
No one plays the political game harder or better than Clinton. If the book "Primary Colors" is an accurate, behind-the-scenes look at the political rise of Billary, make no mistake about it: The woman is large and in charge when it comes to figuring out ways to get elected. After all, how many scorned women would continually stand behind their adulterous men?
It seems pretty obvious that the woman who has presidential aspirations would — and did.
When Hillary decided that her road to return to the White House included becoming a U.S. senator from New York (despite having no more connections to the Empire State than the average tourist who loves to shop and go to the theatre there), she embarked upon a senatorial "listening tour," just like she's doing now. Poor Hillary had to get her pumps muddy as she pretended to listen to pig farmers in upstate New York and their various concerns while hopping around the state, eyes bulging, head nodding, hanging on to their every word.
New Yorkers ate it up.
She was smart enough to know that she already had the limousine liberals from Manhattan in her hip pocket. She needed to win over the rural crowd. What better way to do it than to take her entourage directly to the people?
It's been said that Bill Clinton is a master of making the person he meets feel like they're the most important individual in the room. Well, I've met Hillary in person and can confirm that she has the same knack. I suspect that if the former president is really that good at making the other person feel so important, he learned it from the woman who wants to be a future president.
Like many American marriages, mine is a politically mixed one. I'd like to report that Denise, the love of my life, is a rock-ribbed conservative Republican like her husband. Sadly, that is not the case. So when my former agent, George Hiltzik, told me his son Matthew was working for Hillary's New York senate campaign and could arrange for my wife and me to meet Clinton in person, I had a painful decision to make. Does my contempt for Hillary outweigh my love for my wife, knowing how happy it would make her to meet one of her political idols?

By , BEIJING, Jan 19, 2011 – The number of Internet users in China, already the world\’s largest online market, hit 457 million in 2010 — up 19.1 percent from the previous year, a government-linked industry body said Wednesday.
The figure marks an increase of 73.3 million users and means more than one-third of the country\’s 1.3 billion-strong population is now online.
The number of people surfing the web on mobile phones surged nearly 30 percent last year to 303 million, figures released by the state-backed China Internet Network Information Center.
China\’s spiralling online population has turned the Internet into a forum for citizens to express their opinions in a way rarely seen in a country where the traditional media is under strict government control.
The Internet has also become a lucrative marketplace. The value of online sales rose 22 percent in last year to 4.5 trillion yuan ($684 billion) as more price-sensitive consumers turned to the web for cheaper products amid rising inflation.
The sales data published by the China e-Business Research Center covers business-to-business, business-to-consumer and consumer-to-consumer transactions.

Like many ordinary 12-year-olds, Anna Palmieri had an exciting summer full of family trips, camps, sleepovers with friends, and long, restful nights of sleep. She says it was the best summer she’s ever had, and not the least bit like any she’d known before.
That’s because for her first 11 years she had suffered from debilitating nighttime seizures caused by epilepsy, and her parents had to monitor their daughter all night, every night – no sleepovers allowed. Today, thanks to Dr. Caitlin Hoffman, Dr. Theodore Schwartz, and the pediatric epilepsy team at Weill Cornell Medicine, the Palmieri family can finally lead a normal life filled with camping, slumber parties, and uneventful bedtimes.
Marc and Kristen Palmieri of Bayside, New York, remember how their baby’s seizures started when she was only five months old. “Anna averted her eyes, stiffened an arm, and rolled to her side for 30-second episodes,” Kristen recalls. The seizures came quick and fast as they sped to the hospital.
By the time the Palmieris arrived at the ER, Anna had suffered a cluster of 20 more partial seizures. The hospital admitted her to the Pediatric ICU that night and diagnosed her with frontal lobe cortical dysplasia, meaning that the top layer of the brain hadn’t formed properly. It carries the distinction of being one of the most common forms of epilepsy.
There was a bright side to the diagnosis: Anna’s seizures only came while she slept. As she got older, that meant her busy schedule at school, her practices and performances as an accomplished company dancer, her outreach to autistic students, and her role as Student Council Vice President could continue uninterrupted. Her parents even let her participate in sleepovers — at least until bedtime came. They would have to go pick her up once it was time for lights-out.
Marc and Kristen took turns sleeping next to Anna – every night – so she wouldn’t hurt herself in her sleep. They would check on her periodically to make sure that any slight movement wasn’t the prelude to a seizure. As Anna got older Kristen could no longer hold her back, and even Marc, at 200 pounds, found it more difficult. “I struggled with all my strength to keep her fists from closing in on her throat when she would contract,” he remembers. The nights were unpredictable — one night Anna might sleep soundly, but another night would be long and arduous, with Anna experiencing up to seven seizures.
In their search for a cure, Marc and Kristen took Anna through medication after medication and alternative treatment after alternative treatment. “We tried seven different pharmaceutical medicines, CBD oil, and different diets,” Marc remembers. With every promising treatment came the same devastating result: the seizures would initially abate, then return within months. When Anna was three, a severe reaction to one drug combination left her hospitalized for 17 nights; her doctors believed she lost a year of physical and cognitive development.
Things took a turn for the worse when Anna was 11. It started on a sunny April day — she felt the symptoms of a seizure coming while she was playing softball. “I felt my heart race, chest cramp, and my right arm went numb,” Anna remembers. She was rushed to the emergency room, where doctors confirmed that her seizures were no longer limited to her sleep. A month later, when Anna’s arm started to go numb, her doctors diagnosed her with Todd’s Paralysis, a condition that causes fatigue and numbness on one side of the body following a seizure.
Convinced that they needed a new approach to Anna’s treatment, Marc and Kristen performed a thorough search of neurologists who specialized in pediatric epilepsy. Many sources pointed them to Dr. Srishti Nangia at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian, a pediatric epileptologist, but before the Palmieris could make an appointment, Anna suffered a series of seizures that sent them in to the Emergency Department at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. As Anna continued to seize in the Pediatric ICU, Dr. Zachary Grinspan, the director of the Pediatric Epilepsy Program, told Marc and Kristen, “You’ve been living with this long enough. It’s time we step it up.” He connected them with Dr. Hoffman, a pediatric neurosurgeon with advanced training in the surgical treatment of epilepsy. For the first time, Marc and Kristen thought about surgery as a viable option for their daughter.
The meeting with the comprehensive pediatric epilepsy team left an impression on Marc. “There was a confidence and excitement that we’d never encountered,” Marc recalls of the doctors. When Dr. Hoffman and her colleague Dr. Theodore Schwartz let the worried couple know that Anna was a candidate for surgery, they felt relief that a solution was in sight. Any time they felt overwhelmed by the gravity of what brain surgery entailed, they thought back to the team’s confidence and took solace as best they could. “Everyone was so determined, thorough, and clear that we felt we were in the best of hands,” says Marc. This was the best and only chance at a cure — they had to persevere.
Anna with her younger sister, Nora.
The weeks leading up to surgery were a challenge. Due to her new daytime seizures, Anna had to take school classes at home. The anti-seizure medicine didn’t help much — they made her tired, hungry, and dizzy. In one close call, Anna felt the warning signs of a seizure while on the stairs. She would have had a terrible fall were it not for her younger sister, Nora, grabbing her immediately. Anna remembers that the only bright spot in being at home was that she got to watch one of her favorite movies, The Greatest Showman, over and over.
When the day of surgery came, Anna took comfort in the people around her. She recalled meeting a girl Dr. Hoffman had introduced her to who had undergone the same surgery, which made her feel less alone and less frightened. Dr. Hoffman and her team reassured her and answered all of her questions. Anna recalled that Dr. Hoffman had told her the surgery would take four or five hours, but once the anesthesia took effect it felt more like four or five seconds.
Anna’s recovery was swift. Her doctors recommended that she “lie low and rest” for two weeks, which she did, but within six weeks she was swimming, running, dancing, and – much to everyone’s relief – sleeping like never before. “For the first time in eleven years I wasn’t sleeping at her bedside,” says Marc.

Madison, Wis. (April 15, 2019)—The Wisconsin Federation of College Republicans elected a new Executive Board on Saturday, marking a new chapter in executive leadership for Wisconsin College Republicans ahead of the 2020 election cycle.
The Wisconsin Federation of College Republicans looks forward to putting in the work necessary to ensure continued Republican victories in 2020 and years to come. In close elections like the 2019 Wisconsin Supreme Court race, it is imperative that Republicans reach all types of voters, especially students and young voters.
"I am incredibly excited to have the opportunity to lead Wisconsin College Republicans as we lay the groundwork necessary to win elections in 2020 and beyond. I cannot thank Ryan Ring enough for his work over the past year as Chairman of this organization and for his dedication to College Republicans throughout his entire college career.

HONG KONG — Hong Kong's former top leader Donald Tsang was released Tuesday after serving time in prison for failing to disclose plans to rent a luxury apartment from a businessman granted a government broadcasting license during Tsang's time in office.
The 74-year-old Tsang, who served as Hong Kong's chief executive from 2005 to 2012, is the highest-ranking former or current official sent to prison for wrongdoing in the Asian financial hub, which prides itself on a reputation for clean governance.
The apartment, which is in mainland China, was for his retirement.
Tsang's 2017 conviction was a stunning downfall for the longtime civil servant whose career spanned both British colonial rule and Hong Kong's return to China in 1997. Last week, Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal accepted his petition to try to get his conviction overturned.
It also contrasts with the Hong Kong Justice Department's decision late last month not to prosecute former Chief Executive C.Y. Leung for failing to report a 50 million Hong Kong dollar ($6.4 million) payout from Australian engineering firm UGL Limited in its takeover of a company where Leung was a director.
The decision came after a four-year investigation by the city's anti-graft agency.
After serving one term as chief executive, Leung was appointed in 2017 to China's legislature as a vice chairman. Tsang turned down an appointment from Beijing.
Political commentator Ching Cheong said that Beijing is suspected of pressuring the Justice Department to drop the case.
"Both men failed to declare their interest before serving the city's highest office, but one was sent to prison the other got off," Ching said. "That's where the injustice lies."

We specialize for instance in express shipping between the United Kingdom and France. The distance between London and Paris is 496 km (310 miles), which can be travelled within 8-10 hours in most cases. It should not be forgotten though that some adverse road circumstances may occur and affect the delivery time. By this, we mean for example bad weather, congested roads or crowds at ferries or border crossings.
Express transport between the United Kingdom and France has aroused great interest. It is because of the constantly increasing demand for packages from both commercial clients and individuals. France offers many opportunities for British small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly those that provide high quality products and excellent after-sales care. Moreover, it is estimated that 150,000 British citizens live in France now, while the French population of 137,000 has settled in the United Kingdom for now. This increases the demand for express shipping between France and the UK, as the immigrants and their families and friends who have stayed in the country often exchange parcels between each other.
The metropolitan part of France is located in Western Europe, but the country also possesses overseas territories located on the other continents, such as the Crozet Islands and Adelie Land. The French Republic is a unitary democratic state in which president plays a great role. The country boasts of its motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity", formed during the French Revolution. It is one of the founding members of the EU and it ranks fifth on the list of the most developed countries in the world, and the eleventh in the ranking of living conditions quality. France is considered to be one of the most powerful countries in the world, due to its economic potential, population, position in Europe and a strong army. It is not surprising that express transport between France and the United Kingdom is evolving vividly, taking into consideration the importance of both partners in the international arena.

Approximately the size of a large house cat, this animal lived in South America during the Middle and Upper Triassic, approximately 247-200 million years ago. Probainognathus jenseni is part of a group of cynodonts that first began to exhibit specialized teeth, jaw structure, and musculature toward a mammalian pattern. Specifically in jaw articulation, Probainognathus jenseni exhibits both reptilian and mammalian characteristics with the jaw articulating between the articular and quadrate bones and between the dentary and squamosal bones. This fossil is an excellent example of the transition between ancestral reptiles and mammals. 2-part skull (separate cranium & jaw).

text: How do you sort through all the disparate advice leveled at coaches and creatives about marketing your business? If you look at the marketing advice for coaches out there, there is a huge amount of noise. All this disparate advice can lead to overwhelm, start and stop marketing efforts and not knowing where to focus. Blindly following what everyone else is saying you should be doing rarely works. A much better strategy is to start what I’m calling Strengths Based Marketing.

Bishop Elaine Stanovsky has appointed the Reverend Paul Kottke, currently serving University Park United Methodist Church in Denver, to the Rocky Mountain Conference cabinet as superintendent of the Metropolitan District effective July 1, 2015. Kottke said while he was anticipating retirement from University Park UMC, that "this was a 'God moment'" for him to become a district superintendent.
"It was a surprise," Kottke said about the appointment. "But I realized University Park was at a place of strength we haven't seen for many years. I can do this."
As for the opportunities and challenges the Metropolitan District will bring, Kottke said the "metro area is a great location" but there will be some hard decisions to be made.
"I've said for many years The United Methodist Church should be on the cutting edge," Kottke said, adding that he firmly believes "the place to rebuild society" is within the church. "Churches have to be on the forefront, no matter location or size. We need to identify purpose and live into it," he said.
Bishop Stanovsky said, "Paul's wise spirit, even manner and prophetic vision have been a blessing to University Park, the Rocky Mountain Conference and the greater Denver community."
Kottke graduated from the Iliff School of Theology in 1981 and was ordained Elder in 1982. He was the founding director of Denver Urban Ministries in 1981. He served as Director of Development at Iliff from 1985 to 1988 and as pastor of Warren UMC from 1988 to 1995. Kottke has been serving University Park since 1995.

I know that there is a negative stigma attached to doing a cleanse or detoxing so I thought that I would make a few simple suggestions.
During this time, focus on increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables that you eat and reduce the amount of breads, baked goods and processed snacks that you eat.
For 5 days, you will focus on eating a Whole Foods, Plant-Based diet, keeping it as simple as possible. Also take time for daily walks, practice meditation or mindfulness and make sure that you are getting the night rest that you need.
Even after you complete the fifth day of the cleanse, your body will still be busy eliminating toxins that were stirred up. Your digestive system will be used to a simpler, cleaner diet and may be sensitive to anything processed. It is important to ensure that you slowly transition to eating other foods. Consider reintroducing one food at a time and give your body a day or so to respond.
1. Upon rising; drink the juice of 1 lemon, followed by several tall glasses of water. Get yourself ready for the day and have a bowel movement before eating.
2. For breakfast eat only fruit, making sure that you follow proper food combining. Try eating only 1 kind of fruit or at the most 2. Smoothies are an easy way to fill up, if you are short on time. I post a lot of my smoothies on Instagram, so if you need ideas, check me out. It is easy to add superfoods, such as spirulina or chia seeds, to your smoothie.
3. If you are hungry again before lunch, eat more of the fruit or smoothie that you had for breakfast.
4. For lunch, eat a large salad (make extra for dinner), consisting of raw vegetables and a handful of seeds such as hemp seed or pumpkin seeds (soak them for at least an hour first, better if you soak overnight)or a large dollop of seed paté. Make enough so that you fill satisfied. If you take your time, eating slowly and chewing thoroughly, you will feel full sooner. I post a lot of my lunches on Instagram as well. Avoid any cooked foods at this time.
5. If you are hungry later, have a large green juice (16-32oz or more) and get outside for a walk. Here are some ideas.
6. For dinner, eat a large salad (could be the same as lunch, if that makes it easier). Again, remember to take your time, eating slowly and chewing thoroughly. If you are not satisfied, have a small bowl of a simple vegan vegetable soup, some steamed veggies or a baked yam or other root vegetable. Or use any of my ideas for making your salad into a meal.
7. Have vegetables cut into bite-sized pieces and ready in the fridge for the moments when you need a snack.
8. Avoid eating after 7pm. If you are looking to lose weight on this cleanse, avoid eating after 6pm.
9. Drink lots of fresh water. Ideally you want to drink water between meals rather than with meals, to avoid watering down your digestive juices. When you are feeling hungry and you have recently eaten, consider drinking a glass of water and wait 20 minutes before eating something. You may just be thirsty.
10. Remember that less food is better for your digestive system. It will give it the rest it needs and allow it get rid of unwanted toxins. Daily exercise, plenty of water and a proper night’s rest will help move the toxins out of your body quickly and easily.
11. If you have access to a sauna or a steam room, that would also help tremendously. If not, try taking a warm sitz bath, with Himalayan salt every couple of days.
12. Believe in yourself! You can do this.
Perhaps after you have eaten this way for 5 days, you will feel so clean and great, you will want to continue to do so. It is certainly an easy way to maintain your ideal weight, maintain your blood sugar and blood pressure and keep your heart healthy.
If you are reading this and you already eat this way, consider having a day of only fresh green juice or just water, in the middle of the 5 days. This will step up the cleanse for you and add years to your life.
Just as we take our car in for regular oil changes or lube up our bicycle every Spring, it is important that we do the same for our body. I have found that a few days of eliminating foods that are stressful on the body, followed by a week of clean, simple, plant-based, whole foods is a wonderful way to support my body.
Thank you Barbara I love how you included the chewing! Seriously though so many cleanses forget to discuss this and it is really difficult to cleanse on partially digested foods. I love your articles.
I loved this article! I started a 6-day raw cleanse on March 21, and haven’t stopped! I love eating raw, and really enjoyed how you talked about our bodies being like a car that needs an oil change. It’s such a simple premise but really important! And not a lot of people think about that.
Can I ask what your favorite juice is? I am a bit of a juice enthusiast and would love to know your go-to recipe 🙂 thanks! And thanks so much for this article!
Thanks Jeannette! How wonderful that you have done a 6 day cleanse. I am curious as to the changes that you experienced. I have a inkling that you are feeling really great right now!
My favourite juice is made with celery, parsley, cucumber, lime and ginger.

As the organic Moroccan style features many richly textured fabrics, carpet is the logical flooring choice for creating a Moroccan theme within your home.
Carpet Court’s Dreamtime carpet in Clay is a resilient loop pile nylon carpet which will tie all the elements of the room together. For a rich and bold contrasting floor the Castlerock Stipple colour choice in the Antilles Twist solution dyed nylon carpet range brings an appropriately luxurious finish with its plush, twist fibres.
Neutral floors can be transformed by sumptuous area rugs in typical Moroccan colours and designs, both traditional and contemporary. Add colour and pattern with the City Modern rug in Chevron Rust, or splash out with a stylish rug from the Gemini rug collection such as Kata Modern Red, Loti Multi or Kelim Multi.
With Stockmans Ridge Premium Timber in Spotted Gum (1) and Wayfarer Carpet in Stuart (2).
Morocco, a warm and wondrous gateway to Africa boasting a Mediterranean climate and vibrant Spanish, African and Portuguese influences. Is it any wonder that the rich historic culture and natural beauty of this colourful country has inspired a popular interior design trend?
Add a dash of spice and a touch of the exotic to your interior style during the cooler months to create a cosy ambience using the Moroccan influences of rich, warm colours such as terracotta, burnt orange, paprika, ochre and earthy golden hues. Blend intricate designs using mosaic and geometric patterns and luxurious textured fabrics for a true Moroccan style home.

Choose warm earthy hues with deep purples and turquoise blues or rich shades of red to create the best Moroccan styled floor. Achieve this with area rugs if you want to keep your base floor relatively neutral.
If you prefer a cool, hardwood floor under foot opt for a timber or laminate floor or even vinyl flooring in warm woodgrain hues. Stockmans Ridge Premium in the popular colours of Spotted Gum or Blackbutt is the perfect flooring base for achieving an authentic Moroccan style floor. The rich, natural hues of Brushed Natural Oak in the Balmain Oak Wideboard timber flooring collection is also an ideal way to blend the earthy warmth of wood with traditional Moroccan shades of tangerine and burnt orange contrasted with cool blues, fresh off-whites, taupes and neutrals along with sumptuously soft and delicious purple tones.
Is a Moroccan-influenced vinyl flooring design a good option?
Cool and clean under foot, vinyl flooring is making a big comeback and is a popular choice for many family homes due to its resilience, affordability and stylish good looks. Perfectly suited to the Moroccan theme, you could blend patterned vinyls with Moroccan-inspired accessories to achieve a cosy atmosphere in chilly climates.
Terracotta indoor plant pots, mosaic-adorned furniture pieces and accessories along with an abundance of sheer and textured fabrics will enhance any vinyl flooring design to complete the Moroccan-influenced look.

Hi there! I’m Charles, your trusty Teddy Bear reporter coming to you LIVE on the scene in Charleston, South Carolina.

All clear at the Gibbes Museum of Art!

So, the good ole’ lizardfolk…well, approaches to their lair can show hummocks of reeds and moss, with puddles of stagnant water in-between, thick mires and skull totems. This table is per se nice, though it could be a bit more versatile – a couple of pools and trails carved into the reeds are pretty dominant here, considering the brevity of the table. As far as things going on, we have lizardfolk consulting with one another over tracks in the mud, being covered in blood from a boar its gutting, and several scenes one would associate with the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, with the one where a lizardfolk puts a frog from its spear into a pouch perhaps the most distinct.
As far as notable features are concerned, we can see hollow bonetubes emitting a wailing sound, barricades of sharpened sticks, arches made from trees and reeds, or alligator skins, draped over wooden frames as though some kind of trophy. I did like the notion of wrapping snake skeletons around torches. The minor features includes peat being dried, fish being smoked, and baskets of animal teeth awaiting being hammered into clubs.
Lizardfolk appearances feature, among other things, turtle-shell shields, bright crests on head and back, strange war-painting or primitive armor of turtle shells topped with a boar skull. The treasures include, once more, turtle shells, this time with esoteric paintings on them, well-oiled daggers venerated as relics, smooth pieces of glass, perhaps used to focus sunlight and similar odds and ends. The trinket table, finally, includes unfinished spears, bird skulls topping reed-dolls and fans made of heron feathers – here, I liked the trinkets more than the treasures!
Steve Hood’s little dressing file on lizardfolk isn’t bad – it captures their swamp-bound, primitive lifestyle well…but it doesn’t do much beyond that. One could just as easily replace lizardfolk with any other swamp-dwelling humanoid and there we go. While not bad, the pdf could have used a stronger focus on the intended type of critter. Hence, my final verdict will clock in at 3 stars.
