Chemist, founder of physio-chemistry, father of bacteriology, inventor of bio-therapeutics; born at Dole, Jura, France, 27 December, 1822; died near Sevres, 28 September, 1895. His father was a poor tanner who moved to Arbois when his son was but two months old. Pasteur received his early education at the College Communal of Arbois, but paid little attention to his books, devoting himself to fishing and sketching. For a time it seemed as though he would become a painter. When science was reached in the course he grew interested. He received his degree at Besançon and then in order to devote himself to science went to Paris to study under Dumas, Balard, and Biot. His father helped him, but he had to support himself partly by his own labours. His first original work was done on crystals. Mitscherlich announced that two tartaric acids, apparently identical in chemical qualities and in crystalline form, acted differently in solution toward polarized light. Refusing to accept this dictum, Pasteur demonstrated that the crystals thought to be similar were different, and explained the seeming inconsistency.
His discovery attracted wide attention. As a result he devoted himself to the study of what he called dissymmetry, pointing out that inorganic substances are not dissymmetrical in their crystallization, while all the products of vegetable and animal life are dissymmetric. He concluded that there was some great biological principle underlying this. As the result of his discovery he was made (1848) professor of physics at the Lycee of Dijon; three months later he became deputy professor of chemistry at the University of Strasburg, and full professor in 1852; in 1854 dean and professor of chemistry at the new University of Lille; in 1856 the English Royal Society conferred on him the Rumford Medal for researches on the polarization of light with hemihedrism of crystals; in 1857 he became director of scientific studies at the Paris Ecole Normal, in 1863 professor of geology and chemistry at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, in 1867 professor of chemistry at the Sorbonne, where he remained till 1889, when he became the Director of the Pasteur Institute, founded in his honour.
His early chemical studies led him to the investigation of fermentation and putrefaction, which he showed were due to living germs of various kinds. From this the demonstration that spontaneous generation does not take place was but a step. He showed that in highly-organized material, if the living germs are all destroyed, and if further access of germs be prevented, even though air may be allowed free access, fermentation or putrefaction does not take place. A piece of cotton wool, or a mere bending of the neck of the flask to keep germs from entering, is sufficient after sterilization to keep organic solutions quite sterile. The study of fermentations led Pasteur to studies in vinegar, wine, and beer. As the result of his successful investigation of ferments he was asked by the Empress Eugenie whether he would not now devote himself to the organization of great manufacturing industries for the benefit of France. He replied that he considered it quite beneath the dignity for a scientist to give up his time to commerce, and while he was willing that others should take advantage of his discoveries he wanted to push on to further scientific work.
This was a fortunate decision. His successful investigations led the French Government to appeal to him to study the silk-worm disease. This had produced such ravages in the silk industry in France that the end of it seemed not far off. Many expedients and supposed remedies had been tried. Fresh silk-worms had been brought from China on a number of occasions, but they succumbed to the disease, or their progeny became affected by it. Nothing availed and the case seemed hopeless. Pasteur found the silk-worm had been suffering from two diseases, pebrine and flacherie, and that the spread of these diseases could be prevented by careful segregation of healthy worms from those diseased. The announcement seemed too good to be true and was scouted. Pasteur demonstrated its absolute truth and his practical ability by taking charge of the villa of the French Prince Imperial, where the silk industry had been ruined. At the end of the year the sale of cocoons gave a net profit of 26,000,000 francs (over $5,000,000).
Naturally Pasteur proceeded to the study of diseases of animals and human beings. He demonstrated the bacterial cause of anthrax, which had made serious ravages among cattle in France. The organism was distributed by contact, real contagion. Earthworms, he showed, carry it up from the bodies of animals buried in shallow graves to infect grazing animals. He found further that he could by heat reduce the vitality of the anthrax microbe, so that it produced but a mild form of the disease which would protect cattle against the fatal form. Then he discovered the cause of fowl cholera. He cultivated it artificially and after a time his cultures would not produce the disease in fowl, though it served to protect them against injections of virulent cultures which would kill "control" fowl. The discoveries of vaccinating viruses for these two diseases saved France millions of dollars every year.
Pasteur proceeded with the development of bacteriology and its relation to disease. Having studied many cases of child-bed fever at the hospitals, he declared before a medical society that he had seen its cause, and challenged he drew a picture resembling a rosary of what we now know as a streptococcus, or chain coccus. He discovered other coccus (berry) forms of pathological microbes, some of them arranged in bunches like grapes, thence called staphylococci. Finally came his work on rabies. Unable to find the cause of the disease, which has not yet been discovered, he succeeded in making from the dessicated spinal cords of animals dead from the disease a vaccinating virus, which protects human beings bitten by a rabid animal again the development of rabies. This treatment met with great opposition. The Germans talked sneeringly of "a remedy of which we know nothing for a disease of which we know less". With time Pasteur's vindication came. The Russians, who suffered severely from rabies, from the bites of mad wolves on the steppes, found it of great service, and the tsar honoured Pasteur by a personal visit. Next the British in India found it wonder-working. Other countries adopted it. Finally the German Government established Pasteur Institutes, and acclaimed the discovery.
Many honours came to Pasteur. Besides the Rumford and Copley Medals (1856-1874), in 1868 the Austrian Government gave him a prize of 10,000 francs for this work on silk- worms; in 1873 the French Société d'Encouragement, a prize of 12,000 francs; the Russian Society of Rural Economy, a medal (1882); the Albert medal (1882); the Bressa Prize, 5000 francs (Turin Academy, 1888); the French Government, an annual pension of 12,000 francs (1874), increased in 1883 to 25,000 francs, and besides all the degrees of the Legion of Honour orders were conferred on him by Russia, Denmark, Greece, Brazil, Sweden, Turkey, Norway, and Portugal. Oxford gave him a D.C.L., Bonn, an honorary M.D., the English Royal Society, foreign membership, and the French Academy, its membership (1881). He was made Perpetual Secretary of the Academy of Sciences in 1887. There was a magnificent celebration of his jubilee on his seventieth birthday, 27 December, 1892, to which contributions were sent from every civilized country and all the great institutions of learning.
Happy the man who bears within him a divinity, an ideal of beauty and obeys it; and ideal of art, and ideal of science, an ideal of country, and ideal of the virtues of the Gospel.
These words are graven above his tomb in the Institut Pasteur. In his address Pasteur said further "These are the living springs of great thoughts and great actions. Everything grows clear in the reflections from the Infinite". Some of his letters to his children breathe profound simple piety. He declared "The more I know, the more nearly is my faith that of the Breton peasant. Could I but know all I would have the faith of a Breton peasant woman." What he could not above all understand is the failure of scientists to recognize the demonstration of the existence of the Creator that there is in the world around us. He died with his rosary in his hand, after listening to the life of St. Vincent de Paul which he had asked to have read to him, because he thought that his work like that of St. Vincent would do much to save suffering children.
Pasteur's principal works are: "Etudes sur Vin", (1866); "Etudes sur le Vinnaigre" (1868); "Etudes sur la Maladie des Vers à Soie" (2 vols., 1870); "Quelques Réflexions sur la Science en France" (1871); "Etudes sur la Bière" (1876); "Les Microbes organisés, leur rôle dans la Fermentation, la Putréfaction et la Contagion" (1878); "Discours de Réception de M.L. Pasteur à l'Académie Française" (1882); "Traitement de la Rage" (1886).

Home Entertainment Reviews Have You Been Watching Untitled Jersey City Project? It is Getting Good!
Have You Been Watching Untitled Jersey City Project? It is Getting Good!
Have you been watching Untitled Jersey City Project? This weeks episode is bound to be just as dramatic and will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. I am so drawn in with the characters and wondering what will happen next.
There are 8 short, mini episodes that make up the Untitled Jersey City Project which all come together to make a larger story. What drives me crazy and keeps me coming back for more are all of the unresolved threads.
In Episode 3, Ray and Frank are attending a diner for Larry Tylerman, the real estate giant when Ray has had one to many to drink and he decides then is the time to question Tylermans business ethics. Well we can all guess how that turns out. Everyone knows the last time to address a subject is after we have been drinking!
If you are a fast, paced action thriller kind of TV watcher, the Untitled Jersey City Project is right up your alley. Featuring the Audi cars, the episodes move as fast as the vehicles it features! I love how it shows the result of what is happening and then flashbacks to 15 minutes prior leading up to the event. Very Quentin Tarantino. I cannot wait to see what Ray does next!
I would love for you to watch the video and let me know what you think about it. Are you as intrigued as I am? Have you been watching? If so, what do you think of the concept so far?

The Tennessee Supreme Court has revised one of its rules to require new lawyers to complete a course focused on the law in Tennessee before they begin practicing law. This requirement comes in the wake of the court’s adoption in April of the Uniform Bar Examination and ensures that new lawyers are knowledgeable about both general law and Tennessee law.
The UBE does not test on Tennessee-specific law. The Supreme Court’s revision to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 7 includes the establishment of the Tennessee Law Course and provides an additional layer of required knowledge specific to Tennessee law.
Before adopting the Tennessee Law Course requirement, the Supreme Court appointed a committee to study the need, feasibility and scope of a required course on Tennessee law. The Supreme Court adopted the committee’s recommendations to require completion of the Tennessee Law Course before admission to the Tennessee bar.
The course will highlight the distinctions found in Tennessee law. Course topics will initially include: professional responsibility, administrative law, constitutional law, criminal law, torts, property, Tennessee court rules, business organizations, wills, estates and trusts, and family law.
Professors from Tennessee law schools and Supreme Court staff attorneys will assist in preparing and presenting materials for the Tennessee Law Course. The course content will be reviewed periodically to add, modify, or delete content as required. The course will be delivered digitally, and outlines will be available on the Tennessee Board of Law Examiners website.
“The adoption of the Uniform Bar Examination and a Tennessee Law Course is a positive development for the practice of law in Tennessee. All newly licensed attorneys, not just those sitting for examination, will receive instruction in Tennessee law, which will benefit the public,” says Jeffrey Ward, president of the Board of Law Examiners and chair of the Tennessee Law Course Committee.
Justice Sharon G. Lee, liaison to the Tennessee Board of Law Examiners, expressed the court’s gratitude to the Board of Law Examiners for its work in advancing bar exam testing methods; to the Tennessee Law Course Committee for its study of the requirements and methods for delivery of the Tennessee Law Course; and to law professors at Belmont University College of Law, Lincoln Memorial University Duncan School of Law, Nashville School of Law, University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, University of Tennessee College of Law and Vanderbilt University Law School as well as Supreme Court staff attorneys for their willingness to assist in preparing and teaching the course.
The UBE will be given for the first time in Tennessee in February. By January, the Tennessee Law Course will be online for applicants to complete. Applicants will be provided instructions once they have been approved by the Board of Law Examiners for licensing or with the notification of a successful bar examination.

There are many beaches in the US and there are even more beaches in Hawaii. You will find some of the most beautiful beaches here in Hawaii, but there are also some very dangerous ones. A beach near Waikiki is titled “Most Dangerous Beach USA Hawaii”. But is this really true?
Not too far away from Waikiki, you will find the most dangerous beach in America!
About 30 minutes away from Waikiki, there is one of the most dangerous beach in the US. There, the waves can even be fatal on a very nice and sunny day. Waves can very easily pick you up and throw you back down, injuring you on the hard packed sand and rocks if you are not familiar with the breaks. The waves can break on the beach with an incredible power and whirl up the sand. In extreme cases, you can break your bones and in the worst case your neck.
Strong currents, extreme waves and no mercy! This is how you describe a day at the most dangerous beach in Hawaii. Waves rushing back to the ocean, can be so strong that even a pro can be thrown away by them. If this happens there is only one thing you can do – don’t cramp.
But does Sandy Beach really deserve the reputation being the most dangerous beach on Hawaii?
The safest and simplest strategy is: Don’t go into the water!
We explain everybody during our tours why Sandy Beach is so dangerous.
Those who refuse to follow rules, shall feel the consequences!
If you decide to go into the water on the most dangerous beach in the US, then be prepared for pain and sand in every part of your body – yes, everyone! Sandy Beach is very dangerous beach.
Bodyboarding is a water sport in which the surfer rides a bodyboard on the crest, face, and curl of a wave which is carrying the surfer towards the shore. The bodyboard differs from a surfboard in the fact that it is much shorter. Sandy Beach is very popular spot for body boarders.
It’s a short ride on the wave but it’s also a lot of fun. In the video you can see some recordings of bodyboarding at Sandy Beach and also how extreme the waves are on the beach. Have fun watching the video!

LANSING - Lansing lobbyists have reported spending $20.7 million through the first seven months of 2012, according to reports filed with the Michigan Department of State and compiled by the Michigan Campaign Finance Network. That figure is up by 4.5 percent compared to the same period in 2011, which was a record-setting year for state lobbying expenditures.
Multi-client firms dominate the top of the list ranking lobbyists' expenditures, holding eight of the top ten spots. Governmental Consultant Services, Inc. (GCSI) leads the list, spending $926,521 through July 31st. It is followed by Kelley Cawthorne ($687,492), Karoub Associates ($431,096) and Wiener Associates ($390,643). The Michigan Health and Hospital Association spent the most among associations: $324,611.
Numbers six through ten on the spending list include: Muchmore Harrington Smalley, $322,377; Public Affairs Associates, $258,070; Capitol Affairs, $237,211; the law firm Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn, $226,642; and the Michigan Education Association: $224,168.
Multi-client firms are required to name their clients, along with their total spending, but they are not required to report how much they spend representing each of their clients. Federal lobbyists are required to report how much they spend representing each of their clients.
A major change in reported lobbyists' spending is a big reduction in free lunches for officeholders. In the first seven months of 2011, lobbyists reported spending $526,000 for food and beverages for lobbyable officials. Eleven legislators benefited from more than $1,000 of such entertainment, as individuals.
This year, reported spending for food and beverages totals just $93,205. Group meals and receptions accounted for $72,222, while individuals have realized only $20,803 of consumable hospitality. Only Senators Joe Hune ($1,286) and Gretchen Whitmer ($1,121) topped the $1,000 threshold.
"It appears there has been a change in the culture of relationships between lobbyists and officeholders," said Rich Robinson of the nonpartisan Michigan Campaign Finance Network. "Or, the long summer legislative recess saved lobbyists a lot of money."

# El_Che expressed the desire on L<IRC http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2015-12-03#i_11651949> to have Perl 6 watch his fingers when typing named arguments. It is indeed quite easy to send a wrong name the right way. Luckily we can help him.
# First we need some exception to throw. Perl 6 kindly creates a constructor for us that deals with filling all attributes with values, so we can provide details when we throw the exception.
# We want to modify a method (C<.new> in this case) so we need a trait. A trait is a modification of the Perl 6 grammar and a subroutine. It's name comes from the required named argument. The thing it operates on is stored in the first positional. In our case that's a method.
# We want to check named arguments against the list of arguments that are defined in the methods signature. We have to store them somewhere.
# When we provide some error message we may want to name the class the method is member of.
# The signature of a method can provide us with a list of parameters.
# But first the classname.
# We are only interested in named arguments.
# Each named arguments startes with a sigil ($ in this case). That would get in our way, so we strip it from the method name and store the rest for safekeeping.
# After we got all the information we need, we come to the business end of our trait. We wrap the method in a new method. We only want to peek into it's argument list so we take a capture. Conveniently a capture provided us with a method to get a list of all named arguments it contains.
# We first check with the subset operator C<(<=)> if there are any named arguments we don't like and if so, we use the set difference operator C<(-)> to name only those. The exception we defined earlier takes care of the rest.
# If all named arguments are fine, we can call the wrapped method and forward all arguments kept in the capture.
# Perl 6 will deal with the positional part, our trait C<is strict> will learn about C<:$valid>.
# New instance is new and got 2 extra named arguments the method doesn't know of.
# Traits are a nice way to generalise behaviour of methods and subroutines. Combined with exceptionally good introspection Perl 6 can be mended and bended to fit into any Christmas package. Merry 1.0 and a happy new Perl 6 to you all!

When I first walked into Paul Chamberlain’s office three years ago, I was struck by the abundance of souvenirs on the bookshelves that line the walls. They’re filled with everything from miniature Moroccan “tagine” dishes to ornate Tibetan prayer scrolls to a Hard Rock Café glass from Sydney, Australia. Mixed among the old chemistry textbooks from Paul’s years of teaching are dozens of Lonely Planet travel guides from cities and countries all over the world. On the wall are pictures of sunburned, beaming students on white sand beaches, as well as old photos of George Fox science faculty.
There are stories behind everything in the office, and Paul’s good at telling them. I recently asked about a photo on his wall and was regaled with a story about the time Paul’s entire Juniors Abroad group got massages on a beach in Zanzibar. Paul laughed as he told the story, his eyes twinkling behind his wire-rim glasses.
He says he has too many favorite stories to count, but he’s pleased to share them with anyone who asks. I’ve been working for Paul for years, and every time I walk through his door to ask him to sign a document for a student or to ask his opinion on a flier I’m working on, he’s happy to tell the stories and share memories of his travels.
Paul’s office is a reflection of his time at George Fox University. Starting as an organic chemistry professor in 1976, he’s been in charge of coordinating all of the university’s Juniors Abroad trips since he took over as director of the program 20 years ago. He eventually became director of the Center for Study Abroad in 2014, when Juniors Abroad and the semester abroad office joined together. The office has changed significantly over the last four years: His old chemistry books have started gathering dust as the shiny new travel guides take over the shelves.
Paul’s work at the Center for Study Abroad led to the growth of many of the programs offered. “When we took over there were 26 students per year who studied abroad due to budget limitations,” Paul says. Now there are close to 60 a year – and many pay the same to study abroad as they do for a semester at George Fox. Paul hopes to see even more students studying abroad in the years to come – a goal that seems attainable as application numbers continue to rise.
“Embracing different cultures takes on a whole new meaning when you are physically in those cultures,” says student Bailey Sauls. This sentiment is echoed in other students’ statements and stories. Both Cayla Smith and Hannah Love say they are much more likely to travel after their experience on Juniors Abroad, and that Paul’s attitude and stories have impacted the way they think about international travel. “[Juniors Abroad] made me want to go seek out every other country in the world and see what amazing things they have to offer,” Cayla says.
Paul’s expertise and enthusiasm have impacted many George Fox students over the years, and I am glad that I’ve been one of them. Paul values traveling and studying abroad, something that has already greatly impacted my life. The chance to experience other cultures has changed the way I think about my own culture and about my place in the world.
I’m grateful to attend a university that promotes international experiences; I’m also grateful that George Fox has hired Paul to run the Center for Study Abroad. He hopes to make international travel accessible to more students, allowing more people to be changed by the world before they change the world themselves.
Someday, there will be a generation of George Fox alumni whose bookshelves also have souvenirs from around the world – all thanks to Paul Chamberlain.
The epiphany happened early in my teaching career, during a spring semester finals week. As a thank you for being my assistant for several years, I took a graduating senior to lunch, and together we talked about her experience at George Fox University. Even though Rose was a wicked-smart student, an academic success, one of the best assistants I’d ever have, and a talented singer and actor in musical theatre, she admitted during our lunch that she felt like she was graduating a failure. Her reasoning? She hadn’t found ”The One” to whom she could commit life-long marital fidelity.
Late night, in a dark room with a bright screen, he sits with the light bouncing off of his eyes. He wipes his hands over his face trying to shake off the tiredness and ignore the call of the bed, where his wife is fast asleep. It’s just another late night before an early morning, one in a long string of days that lead him toward his goal at a sloth-like pace. Sleep must be sacrificed. Sacrifice is something he is used to, though this one is different. This one is for him.
Patrick Walsh graduated from George Fox’s Adult Degree Program at the age of 50 with a bachelor’s degree in management and organizational leadership. The scene above is a small part of his college experience. His path reminds us that the journey of students is as unique as the students themselves. These journeys are filled with obstacles, detours, ups and downs, sacrifices and many late nights.
Cambria Herrera sits back in her chair. Listening, thinking. Her arms and legs are crossed as she watches the scene in front of her unfold, pauses and all. Her eyes move from actor to actor, then stare out into the rehearsal room. Every once in a while, a slight smile appears on her face, then fades before reappearing.
She’s also 20 years old.

During the fall 2017 “ACT Senior Retake Opportunity” in Tennessee, a misadministration of the ACT test occurred at a small number of Tennessee high schools—affecting several hundred students through no fault of their own.
On November 28, Paul Weeks, our senior vice president of Client Relations, and Scott Montgomery, our senior vice president of Public Affairs, met with state leaders in Tennessee regarding the situation and provided details that led to the misadministration that occurred outside of ACT’s control. ACT delivered a letter describing ACT’s decision to Tennessee Lieutenant Governor Randy McNally.
Suite 700 Cordell Hull Bldg.
Thank you for taking time yesterday to meet with us to discuss the unfortunate misadministration of the ACT test that occurred during the fall 2017 ACT Senior Retake Opportunity, affecting several hundred students through no fault of their own or ACT.
ACT deeply regrets the inconvenience and confusion the misadministration has caused to impacted students at such an important time in their lives. We also regret that so much misinformation has been generated about this issue and the ensuing public perception that ACT is “punishing” students. As we discussed with you and the other leaders, we are committed to acting with integrity and doing what is in the best interest of all of our stakeholders in providing college readiness test scores that are valid, reliable and useful for all concerned.
We know students rely on standardized test scores from the ACT to make informed decisions about their future, particularly admissions, scholarship and career path decisions – universities around the country rely on the ACT for the same thing. It is imperative that ACT be able to stand behind the scores that students achieve so higher education and scholarship agencies can make critical decisions which affect students and their families.
We can assure you that ACT works relentlessly to provide clear instructions to students and schools to ensure the high-stakes ACT test is administered properly and fairly.
We have instituted several steps and check points to ensure an accurate, fair and honest test experience. Schools notify ACT of their intended test date so ACT can send the appropriate materials to each school based on the information they provide to us. It is unfortunate that in the case of Bearden High School in Knoxville, the test materials ordered by the school – with clear designation regarding the intended test date – were administered on the wrong test date. This resulted in a flawed test event and invalidated the test scores. An invalidated test cannot yield a college reportable score.
When a misadministration like this occurs, ACT takes seriously the concerns of stakeholders about the accuracy and reliability of the ACT test score, due to the possibility of information sharing about specific test questions and answers that may enable some students to have an unfair advantage. An invalid test cannot be translated into a college reportable score, leaving ACT with the difficult but necessary decision to notify students about the situation that occurred through no fault of their own.
ACT is taking several steps to assist students and their families impacted by the misadministration.
We have offered – and are continuing to offer – impacted students an opportunity to retake the ACT test for free during a future ACT national test date. We have been communicating with impacted students and providing them with information about their options. Currently, 294 students impacted by misadministration during the Senior Retake Opportunity have registered for the December national test.
We are aware that some impacted students may be facing college admission or scholarship deadlines and we are working with higher education officials to mitigate any negative impacts on students. In those cases, ACT provides a letter that students may share with colleges confirming that they took the ACT in October 2017 but did not receive scores through no fault of their own.
We deeply regret that students and ACT have been negatively impacted by this misadministration by the school, but we are also mindful of students who could be impacted by the release of scores we cannot validate. There is no ‘win’ in this situation, only our best effort to keep the playing field level by making sure all released scores are the result of a standardized administration.
We look forward to sharing additional detailed information about the situation with you. Meanwhile, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Awww! I remember feeling your pain. As you know, I live in a part of Canada that sees -40 windchills in the winter so I know a thing or two about how to keep warm!
When I was newly engaged my husband and I bought a beautiful heritage home that had single pane windows with storm windows that didn't fit and newspaper insulation. If you held your hand up against electrical outlets on exterior walls you could feel a breeze. We immediatly had to invest in new windows or freeze that first winter. I spent winters in that house clad in wool socks, scarves, fetching little hats and armwarmers (thank goodness I knit) There was only so high you could turn the furnace thermostat up before it became futile.
We heat our home with natural gas, but a lot of people around here (especially people who are bulding new homes) are doing geothermal systems. My mother in law heats her cabin that way. Where I live, that is the greenest option.
Stay warm! Would your little one wear legwarmers or is she completely anti-leg covering?

Okay so today was suppose to be the Dreaded Dr. Appointment. So I get up early get ready and wake up the kiddos and get them ready.. head out the door and get almost half way to the Dr. office, which is exactly an hour away from where I live... and then the phone rings.. its the Dr.'s Office.... my Dr. is helping another Dr. in a surgery but they can book me with some NEW Dr./ PA? Mr. somebody... OR I can reschedule for Next Wed. with my Dr. So I said well I guess reschedule because I am comfortable with my Dr. and not so much with one that I have NEVER met and is a male Dr. to boot. So okay alittle annoyed by this point.. after getting up alittle earlier getting the kids up and having to get out in nasty weather to get half way there and bam.
So then my hubby says well I want to go ahead and get some Breakfast before going back home so he can leave and go to work. So we stop at a restaurant and had breakfast and well needless to say this place had NOTHING healthy... and now I am miserable!!! I shouldn't have ate at all.. I was pretty hungry I didn't eat this morning because I was fasting for the blood work..... and not thrilled with having to change things.. not that I was looking forward to it lol but I wanted to get it over with. Because I have been dreading it so much so I didn't sleep the best last night and was just so looking forward to getting it over with. Anyways.. I know its not the end of the world.. and its not the first time it has happened.. normally I get all the way there and just end up getting stuck with who ever is available.
So I hope everyone is having a good day today and I hope you all have a Great weekend!!
Tara I hope the rest of your day went smoother and sorry bout your breakfast and appointment. Just remember in the grand scheme of life...it was only one meal. Drink extra water and u do plenty of exercise already! Love ya!
I totally understand the frustration about the doctor. That happened to me quite a bit when I was pregnant. I would get the OB/GYN for my appointment and would find out that they forgot to call me because my doctor was behind or not taking any clients due to a birth or something. You can always burn the extra calories by doing extra exercise. When i first started SP, that was the advice I was given because I kept going over my calories. I pray you have a much better weekend including catching up on much needed sleep, eating well and just feeling energized!!
Sorry things didn't work out well today. Hang in there! Hope your weekend proves better.
I am sorry about the morning not getting off to a good start Hope the rest of the day goes better. Have a great weekend!
Aw, I'm sorry your having a rough morning! Forget about the breakfast this morning too. Just try to get some exercise in and start fresh tomorrow. Hope you have a good weekend!
I'm sorry you weren't able to get the appointment over with today. Hope you have a good weekend!

Description: This is a very tall sea-pen, often found in very large colonies and growing up to 1.5m long. It is curved characteristically in the upper one third. The central stalk is about 10mm thick and the polyps arise directly from the stalk. Its colour is white, the polyps are sometimes pale pink. The calcareous axis is square in section.
Habitat: Lives embedded in mud in depths greater than 30m usually with the Norway Lobster, Nephrops norvegicus.
Distribution: Found on all western coasts of the British Isles, rather local and normally in deep water. It has only been encountered recently by divers in fjordic sea loughs on the west coast of Scotland. It may have been eliminated from many previous localities by trawling for Nephrops. Recorded throughout the western Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, possibly world-wide.
Similar Species: Virgularia mirabilis is a much smaller sea-pen which is straight and has the polyps on "leaves".
Colonies may be very large.
Polyps arise directly from the stalk.
Central axis is square in section.

Scientists have found that interactions between different viruses can trigger dormant viruses to reactivate and cause disease. The researchers believe this explains why cases of herpes can sometimes return after the virus has long lain dormant in a host.
Most people in the US get oral herpes - or herpes simplex virus type 1 - by the age of 20. Following the first infection - usually after 1 or 2 weeks - the virus will become dormant in the facial nerve tissues.
Occasionally, however, the virus may reactivate and cause milder cold sore symptoms.
In total, there are eight herpes viruses that can affect humans. Some versions of the virus can cause chickenpox, mononucleosis and cancer.
"Probably 95% of us have been infected with at least one herpes virus, but many people never have a problem with it," says study co-author Rolf Renne, PhD, a professor of molecular genetics and microbiology in the University of Florida (UF) College of Medicine and a member of the UF Genetics Institute and the UF Health Cancer Center.
"The question has been: what happens to reactivate these viruses to cause disease?"
The researchers found that interferon gamma kept the herpes virus dormant, but when the immune system responded to a helminth infection, the virus would reactivate.
In co-operation with researchers from Washington University in St. Louis, MO, Renne and his UF colleagues investigated how human herpes virus 8 - a herpes virus linked to the Kaposi's sarcoma cancer - reactivates. They publish their findings in the journal Science.
Working first with a mouse model, and then replicating their findings in human subjects, the team found that after initial infection, the protein interferon gamma kept the virus dormant in the body.
However, the effect of the interferon gamma was cancelled out following an infection from a helminth worm - a common parasite in sub-Saharan Africa, where Kaposi's sarcoma is also common.
The researchers observed that another protein called interleukin 4 was released by the immune system to deal with the helminth, but this blocked the interferon gamma function and also activated the replication function of the herpes virus.
Replication of the virus causes new cells to be infected, increasing the chances that a cancerous tumor will form.
"The fact that the virus can 'sense' the immune reaction to a worm and respond by reactivating is a remarkable example of co-evolution.
We think other interactions between multiple infectious agents and the immune system will be discovered over time that we will view as similarly sophisticated or maybe even devious. Understanding these interactions will help us survive in a complex microbial world."
Earlier this week, Medical News Today reported on research from scientists at the University of Montreal in Canada who suggest that a small molecule found in the urine of pregnant women blocks the growth of Kaposi's sarcoma, as well as a variety of other cancers. The molecule is a metabolite that is a product of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin.
In 2013, we also reported on a study that suggested a type of nanoparticle could be used to deliver vaccines that protect against HIV, human papilloma virus and herpes, as well as flu and other respiratory diseases.
Helminth infection reactivates latent gamma-herpesvirus via cytokine competition at a viral promoter, Rolf Renne, et al., Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1254517, published online 26 June 2014, Abstract.

I have noticed that DPX descriptor is 102, which confirms 444 mode.
But I have noticed that DPX descriptor is 102 (expected value was 100).
I do not know much about this, but please provide your ImageMagick version and platform for those who might be able to help you.
So one of the developers may have to answer this.
I had tried -sampling-factor 2x1 & -sampling-factor 4:2:2 but neither worked. As you said it is always 102 (descriptor @800). I see the source code (IM 6, convert.c) has no implementation for 100 and 104. So I'm starting to believe that 422,420 are not yet implemented.
I'm working with my team on installing IM 7. I will give a try with that also.
Also, any idea on how to catch the attention of any of the developer?
I moved your post here so that they might find it better.
Have you found your solution? May be a couple months out, but am pretty familiar with working with dealing with the 420, 422, 444 formatting issues.
Just a start in case it comes in useful, is trying to understand what issue you are running into. Also trying to understand the perspective.
Usually the point of dealing with the formatting you are speaking of happens at the time of compiling a video using FFMoeg.
(Granted FFMpeg comes packaged with Imagemagick).
No, I do not think Imagemagick supports the video formats YCbCr 422/420. I believe that is video formats that you would want to use FFMpeg for.

The Four Seasons in Budapest is situated in one of the world’s most spectacular Art Nouveau buildings, the Gresham Palace. Situated on the Danube River, in Budapest’s most premium fashion districts, the palace has one of the best views in the city and one of the world’s most premium restaurants.
The Gresham Palace site originally housed a neo-classic palace called the Nako House, designed by József Hild and built in 1827 by wholesale merchant Antal Deron. The London Gresham Life Assurance Company bought the Nako House in 1880 as its foreign headquarters. In 1903 Gresham decided to demolish the Nako House and build a new venue called the Gresham Palace, designed by Zsigmond Quittner. It opened in 1907.
Kollazs Brasserie & Bar lies in one of its corner halls, and is a hallmark of the building’s spectacular art nouveau style. The restaurant’s name translates into ‘collage’ in Hungarian, and refers to the art technique where artists create art in a free-style manner, using a variety of materials. This, ultimately, captures the restaurant’s essence: it is itself, a collage of ideas, styles and manners. At once beautiful and ornate, lined with gold and bronze, it evokes the aura of a luxury restaurant fit only for a venue like the Four Seasons. Yet it is relaxed, the atmosphere inside casual, the energy almost of a bistro, rendering it more akin to a New York brasserie from bygone years. This collage demeanour captures the Four Seasons Budapest more broadly, a hotel that includes a bakery, cocktail bar, panoramic terrace that overlooks the Danube, and a grill kitchen. One can find all that they need in this luxurious hotel.
The menu of Kollasz includes traditional Hungarian dishes (foie gras of course, and meat heavy affairs like marrow bone, Wiener schnitzel, paprika catfish, steaks, etc) and also more French style dishes (Nicoise salad, croque monsoir, traditional onion soup, oysters), with also hints of Italian (mushroom tagliatelle, various grilled fish).
These dishes are, however, presented in a modern manner; they are not your typical traditional fare. The foie gras, which we enjoyed for our starter after two glasses of Hungarian sparkling wine, was presented beautifully. Beyond a mere foie gras terrine, it came with a roll of dried fruit, stewed peaches, beetroot cream (which was divine), and toasted brioche. The foie gras was by far the best that I have ever tasted so far – and definitely the best in Budapest. Well worth ordering.
For the second starter, we decided to try a main to share before our – main main. This was largely because the main’s can either be chosen from the international a la carte menu or one can make their own from the grilled meat selection. Given that the salted sea bass was an option, and we could choose our own garnishes and sauce, we decided to share the main between two, and enjoy a first a la carte main as a second starter.
We went for the ‘Corsica’, a delectable dish of sea bream, black mussels, prawn and octopus that quickly became a favourite dish of the trip. Presented immaculately yet artistically in a bowl, it represented a light sea-food stew yet was more dry than a stew (the sauce was sparse, which worked well to showcase the delicate baby octopus and mussels), rendering it perfect for a light summer main.
For the main, we had decided to follow our waiter’s recommendations of trying the sea-bass baked in salt. We paired it with the sautéed spinach and the grilled mushrooms, and decided to veto a sauce as our waiter promised we didn’t need it. The presentation of the sea-bass is fantastic as always – impressive in its salt crust that the waiter cracked and removed in front of us (a performance peace that never fails to impress). I noted that this was slightly larger than the Four Seasons in Prague, and as expected, it offered a very different style of dish – a testimony to the diversity of the Four Seasons hotels across the globe. The portion of sea bass was of a decent size, and the garnishes were offered in abundance. The fish was sumptuous and soft, juicy and fresh. The garnishes were surprisingly excellent, the grilled mushrooms large and flavoursome, whilst the spinach was aptly creamy.
For the wine, we enjoyed Grof Buttler, EGRI Chardonnay, 2013 to go with it, as advised by our waiter, an excellent recommendation, and at a surprisingly reasonable price.
The highlight of our meal and day however, was the exquisite dessert: The French toast. Our waiter had insisted that we try it, which I wasn’t so keen on. I have never particularly enjoyed French toast, and there was no need to try it at the Four Seasons. How wrong I was!
This was by far the most delicious dessert I have ever tasted. The French toast (a deep fried strawberry shortcake) was light yet pleasantly dense with a creamy, sponge, melt-in-your-mouth consistency. It was not, however, overtly sweet, and instead quite subtle in its sugariness. The toasted topping with the caramelised glaze offered it a slight sweetness that fed through the rest of the sponge, whilst the crumble that lay around it gave it a crunch to balance it out. The raspberry ice-cream was perfectly cool and fresh, giving an edge to the toast, whilst the caramelised strawberries gave it a well balanced dose of fruitiness. I hadn’t planned to finish the dessert, but I did, as did my guest, and our compliments were sent to the chef. You must, must try it.
After enjoying two glasses of the typical Hungarian Tokaji wine – which was better than expected at the Four Seasons – we had the arta, Late Harvest Furmint, Tokaj, Hungary, 2010 Lenkey – we parted ways with the beautiful restaurant.
Our experience at Kollasz was what we would have hoped for at a Four Seasons dining institution. The food was of the most exceptional, highest calibre – it boasted the freshest ingredients, most immaculate presentation, and delectable taste. The staff were attentive, courteous and welcoming. The venue was both elegant and relaxing, stylish and casual. It was an excellent lunch and one that I hope to enjoy as a dinner sometime soon.

Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev on April 9 chaired the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on the results of socio-economic development in the first quarter of 2016 and the future tasks.
The meeting began with a minute of silence to honor the memory of Azerbaijani servicemen who heroically died while preventing the sabotage of Armenian armed forces.
President Aliyev wished patience to the relatives of the martyrs and recovery to the injured.
The president then noted that Armenian sabotage was prevented on the line of contact of Armenian and Azerbaijani armies in early April, the enemy was repulsed and Azerbaijan's military positions even more strengthened.
"This bloody clash once again showed that Armenia continues its occupation policy, it doesn't want peace and tries to disrupt the negotiation process," said Ilham Aliyev, adding that Armenia stages sabotages when there is certain progress in the negotiations.
Following the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents, held at France's initiative in 2014, Armenia started military exercises on the occupied territories and staged another sabotage, said the president, adding that as a result, one helicopter of the opposing side was shot down, after which the negotiations were suspended for more than a year.
The presidents' meeting held in December of 2015 also brought no results, he added.
Azerbaijan's president pointed out that following the bloody clashes, the international community expressed concern over the issue.
"Azerbaijan is committed to the negotiation process and hopes that this issue will be resolved," said President Aliyev, adding that the principle of peoples' self-determination shouldn't lead to violation of countries' territorial integrity.

Former President Bill Clinton and NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg are calling it a model for other buildings to follow, as the Empire State Building rolls out a plan to make the city’s tallest and most iconic building more energy efficient.
The plan includes $500m in refitting and renovation to curb the amount of energy the building consumes by 1/3rd. Each of the buildings 6,500 windows will receive a thin layer of film, while overall ventilation and insulation will be boosted as well. When all is said and done they estimate annual savings of $4.4 m. Plus if the results are consistent with their goals, the Empire State Building hopes to attract bigger companies as tennants.

At the time his father was a flight engineer on an extension of the Distant Early Warning Line. The early 1960s Cuban missile crisis was the news of the day, and working on the DEW line involved flying radar-equipped aircraft over the Atlantic to monitor for potential missile attacks.
"That was a particularly tense time and rather memorable," Wrighton, now chancellor of Washington University in St. Louis, recalled during an interview in April's Month of the Military Child.
He said Argentia, located on southeastern Newfoundland's Placentia Bay, provided outdoor activities and even a bit of history - the Atlantic Charter, establishing a vision for post-World War II, was signed there in 1941. He remembered he and his brother playing around a silver mine there.
One more move landed the family in Pensacola, Fla., where his father retired as a master chief petty officer with 24 years of service. Through the five moves Wrighton remembers during his father's career, he said he enjoyed the life of a "military brat."
He said the moving was disruptive, but it was what he and his siblings knew, and it equipped him for a life of change.
Wrighton called moving "a nice adventure." "I have a brother and a sister," he said, "and we were a tight family unit. It was always interesting to move to a new place - a sense of excitement when we did the travel."
As Wrighton struck out into the civilian world, he took with him the lessons learned. Watching his father advance through the ranks taught him the importance of hard work, loyalty and integrity, he said. It also helped him understand that respect for others at all times is essential.
"Now I have a very large responsibility as chancellor of a very large and important university," he said. "I look for those qualities in recruiting people who are going to be a part of the leadership team here."
Washington University in St. Louis claims 12,000 students, an equal number of employees, and 100,000 alumni. Wrighton became the university's chancellor in 1995.
Before that, he was a chemistry professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology for 23 years. He admitted that staying in one place was unusual after growing up on the move as a military brat. But MIT was a great environment, he said.
"But I would guess it is true that people who have been in the military and moved around do wonder, 'Is this where I'm going to spend the rest of my life?'" he said. He added that he satisfies any wanderlust through his job-related travel commitments.
He credits his youth with the ability to adapt.
"It has prepared me to be resilient ... in my adult life," he said. "The moving and the kind of life we lived, I think, prepared me for change, challenges, and prepared me also for interacting with people at all levels in society."
He said it also allowed him to better relate to the ROTC programs at both Washington University and MIT. He has supported these programs because he understands the importance of the military firsthand.
"I think the military is vital to our future," he said. "(Its) objective of providing security for the United States is vital to our future ... a lofty undertaking and one that we need to support."

Review: The Belles | Live to read. Read to live.
Everybody knows, I think, that I love me a good dystopia. Seriously, it just never seems to get old for me, I am always here for all of the post-apocalyptic disaster stories. All the time. I’m not sure if The Belles, the first in a new series by Dhonielle Clayton and published tomorrow is classed as dystopian or whether it’s an alternative reality because I don’t think that’s ever explicitly stated, but it felt dystopian to me, so that’s what we’ll go with. Teen feminist dystopia. Is that a thing?
Camellia is a Belle. Every few years the old set of Belles are retired and a new generation are brought forward, a group from one of which is chosen to be the favourite, to live at Court and to make the Royal Family beautiful. Camellia wants to be the favourite.
LIFE AT COURT, LIFE AS A BELLE, IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS. Nothing, in fact, is what it seems.
This book is fantastical and you need to suspend your belief entirely going in and – slightly problematically for me actually because I am all about the world-building – you’re kind of thrown in at the deep end with not much explanation given to the whys and the hows and there wherefores. That didn’t stop me guzzling this book down (although it doesn’t really get going until about a third of the way in) but I won’t lie: I would have loved it more had there been more background and more explanation; I’m always so greedy for that stuff – I need to understand it to believe it and whilst I loved the concept here, I couldn’t quite grasp how it would all work.
There’s a whole mythological element which I loved, and I’m really hoping that in the rest of the series, that’s explored in a little more detail too, I’d also like to see more of Orleans outside of the Royal Palace. Here’s hoping all my questions will be answered in the sequel if I’m patient. I have so many questions, none of which I am going to pose here because: spoilers.
On the whole that’s my overriding feeling I think; the ideas Clayton touches on in this book fascinated me and I would have loved for them to have been explored in more detail. It’s repetitive in places, and if I’m honest I did find it dragging and that bugged me because I was so intrigued – the whole idea of it, the world, the story, the characters, I was fascinated by it all and so when I found myself feeling like I was reading back over what I’d already read a couple of times I was frustrated: it didn’t quite reach its full potential for me, and it’s such a shame because it could have been amazing if it had just had a little more depth. That said, I’ll be keeping my little eyes peeled for the rest of the series because this is a book full of secrets and lies and deceit; real proof that beauty is so much more than skin deep, it’s message actually not that dissimilar to that of Scott Westerfield’s Uglies. It’s an interesting concept, and its cleverly told with so much of it familiar if extreme – it’s a really interesting study in what it means to be ‘beautiful,’ what ‘beautiful’ looks like and the values society places on that. Not just the desperation to be the latest version of beautiful, but how the Belles are seen as commodities rather than people, the way they are expected to give up everything about themselves for what they believe to be some Greater Good, although in reality that’s all smoke and mirrors and the reality is much more sinister. I loved it.
Most of all, I wish post balloons were a thing.

Enlighten me, O good Jesus, with the bright- ness of eternal light, and let all darkness depart from my heart. Let me see through my wandering thoughts and help me to replace them with good, healthy thinking. Defend me against the evil beasts that come to me in the shape of attractive desires. Bestow on me true interior peace through Your power, so that Your praise may echo within my soul as in a holy temple. Command the tempests and storms. Say to the sea, “Be sti1l!” Call to the raging wind, “Blow not!” And there shall be a great calm within my soul. Amen.
O Lord, my God, do not depart far from me. Please look upon me and help me. Evil thoughts have risen up against me and great fears aﬁlict my soul. How am I to pass on without being harmed by them? Show me how I may crush them. You have said, “I will go before you and will humble the great ones of the earth. I will open the gates of the prison and will make known to you hidden secrets.” Dear Lord, do as You say, and let all wicked thoughts and desires ﬂee before Your face. Amen.

Let’s be honest, Squamish in the dead of winter can be a pretty challenging place to live and play. Social media feeds fill with updates about others absconding to sunnier climes to break away and get a good dose of Vitamin D closer to the equator.
Squamish is in a rainforest, after all, and so liquid sunshine falls for months at a time.
As a summer-lover myself, I have only half-jokingly remarked during such long and wet winters that I was beginning to miss my shadow — an old friend that I hadn’t seen outside in quite a while.
The encroaching cold, dark and damp can lead many who focus on summer-based sports like rock climbing and kiteboarding to simply resign themselves, to let their bodies get soft, putting on their winter coats of insulation that mirror the deep layers of snow on our mountains. Retreating into hibernation until the warmth returns.
Other local recreationists see the winter as an excellent time of year to take stock of their achievements, train and come out the other side of winter striding into summer feeling physically and mentally stronger than before — ready to scale the rock or hit the water of Howe Sound with new vigour.
When it is cold and dark outside it can be hard to stay motivated.
This can also lead to feelings of brain fog, lethargy and even anxiety and sadness for some.
“I believe a healthy body will give you a clear head. You will feel better when you roll out of bed in the morning to face your world, whatever it may be”, said Bulford, adding that training over the winter will not only help your overall fitness and health, but it will help prevent injury when you get after it the next summer.
Amanda Pearson, a paramedic for BC Ambulance at the Squamish station and an avid kiteboarder, says she spends a lot of time at the gym during the winter focusing on core strength, flexibility, and agility.
“Yoga is a perfect complement to kiting, and I try to practice every day,” she added.
After a kitesurfing injury on Vancouver Island, Pearson said physio was critical for her rehab.
“Since then, I’ve relied on it for maintaining my physical health and tweaking things when my body just doesn’t quite feel right. It’s helped my balance and strength in ways that I don’t think I could’ve done on my own,” she added.
It can be easy, especially with heavy training, to exacerbate overuse injuries potentially caused during the summer season, Bulford stressed.
“I also can’t advocate enough for incorporating a solid 30 minute [foam] roll session into your plan. After each workout, you should spend a minimum of two minutes on your tight muscle groups. Rolling can prevent injury by increasing circulation, blood flow and keeping your muscles from tightening up and causing discomfort or injury,” she said.
A big factor in winter is the mental aspect of feeling energetic enough to head out into the rain, snow or wind and make your way to a gym.
Bulford said how you feel after is a key motivator to keep summer climbers and kiteboarders heading back to the local fitness centre.
“I love the way my body feels when I am in a good training plan. I love going to the gym and feeling strong. It’s motivating just to feel physically fit,” she said, adding that her job as a park ranger also requires a high level of fitness.
Pearson did acknowledge that last winter she managed to avoid the rains of Squamish for a time by flying south, which for many individuals who love the sun and have the time available is a way to enjoy their sport in the winter. She headed to La Ventana, Mexico and kited every day while she was there.
This winter she will likely go away again to kite somewhere warm, at least for a while.
Whatever the reasons for training through the winter months, it can not only have a positive impact on an athlete’s climbing and kitesurfing abilities but can also lead to a better mental outlook in general. The psychological benefits of exercise are well known and with winter training, summer-based athletes will have the anticipation and focus to make the most of the Squamish summer.
