Definition : Sponges designed for use during open surgical procedures inside the central nervous system; a neurosurgical sponge easily conforms to the tissue contours on which it is placed. These devices are typically sterile and flexible single-use sponges made from a variety of materials including cotton, rayon, and polyester; the outer components of the sponge are usually made of a porous plastic material which prevents the sponge from adhering to the tissue and avoids tearing the tissue when removed. Some neurosurgical sponges may include detectable (e.g., x-ray elements, radiofrequency labels) components and/or a string attached to it for easy identification.

From simple simulators to mini-languages, 3D environments, and physical devices, the variations of robots used in CS1 courses are astounding. At the heart of many of these attempts are two simple desires: (1) to provide an interesting tool that students want to use, and (2) to help students learn the course material. However, not all robot usage is beneficial. The benefits of using Lego robots have been called in question by several researchers. This paper identifies one plausible explanation of their ineffectiveness in CS1: the programming API. This paper presents the advantages and disadvantages of current and historical usage of robotic APIs, an improvement on typical APIs for Lego robots, along with and how it is used in the CS1 curriculum. The new approach for interfacing with robots allows for better problem solving capabilities, tighter integration with typical CS1 curriculums, and resolves some of the problems found in earlier research.

Latency is simply recognized as the stretch of time from the exposure of the ailment or root factor until the time wherein signs or symptoms develop and a diagnosis is made. In regards to malignant mesothelioma, this latency period frequently endures for anywhere from twenty years up to half-a-century, making it an incredibly challenging disease to predict and detect.
In 1964 an official correlation between subjection to asbestos and cancerous mesothelioma was spotted. It's the exposure to asbestos, an incredibly noxious and naturally occurring mineral which should in the end bring about cancers of the lining of the lungs/heart/testicles/abdomen. The latency period beginning from asbestos contact and the start of signs and a prognosis may be subject to a variety of factors.
The degree of the exposure - All those who've worked in immediate contact with asbestos or asbestos containing goods are at greater dangers for mesothelioma, and the latency period is commonly lesser for far more major levels of exposure.
Severity of symptoms - discomforts of mesothelioma very often don't come out so intensely/speedily all through the primary phases of the sickness, making it all the more complex to assess. The moment symptoms do emerge and a diagnosis is created, the condition could already be in the late periods wherein treatment is notably less flattering.
Location of cancer - A handful of specialists have discovered that pleural mesothelioma, which develops throughout the membrane lining enclosing the lungs, carries a fairly longer period of latency as opposed to the other three forms of the disorder.
Gender - Scientific studies have likewise proven that females are apt to have a lengthier latency period with mesothelioma as compared with guys - about five years longer. This is likely because of the point that ladies typically have been subjected to asbestos through secondary methods and for this reason suffer diminished levels of overall exposure (also proven to heighten latency).
The probability that a latency period for mesothelioma should be shorter than 1.5 decades is just 1%. These critical numbers in terms of latency may well impact the diagnosis for victims diagnosed with the condition. Latency describes the time between exposure and evaluation which suggests that just about every month counts, as it's not improbable that reliable diagnoses cannot be made for three to six months. In a disorder where the typical life-span of anyone living with stage III mesothelioma is 1 year and 1 month, that latent stage where the illness is developing but is asymptomatic is essential. The faster people request medical attention for their symptoms and receive correct diagnoses, the earlier solutions could be started.

Even if each patron only contributes a very small amount each month, it can still be a huge source of income. Take a look at the Patreon page for Kinda Funny, an internet video company. They have over 6,209 patrons which means an average of just $3 a month would be a monthly income of almost $19,000 â€“ plus they get cheerleaders that are always happy to spread the word on their brand.
Quick story: Remember that $1.18 I found in the couch? Even when that increased to $30 to $50 a day, it still wasnâ€™t enough to live on. So I looked for other options. In August 2008, after people started to know who I was and how I could help them pass the LEED certification exam through my blog, I wrote an ebook. It included all the information I knew about passing this exam, and I sold it on my blog for $19.95.
I get excited every paycheck because I know my investments are going to increase by a decent chunk. I use Mint to keep a close eye on what the current value is at and make goal marks to hit. Every time I hit a goal, I do a little happy dance and decide what I want my next marker to be and when I want to hit it by. Iâ€™m nowhere close to being financially independent or even debt free, but itâ€™s exciting to see the ground work being laid and watching it grow.
Can you expound on the use of publicly-traded REITs as a passive income source? Iâ€™m 31 years old. No children. No wife. No dependents. (I am the closest thing to Ebenezer Scrooge youâ€™ll ever see). My monthly expenses amount to less than $2,000 per month (most of which go to pay student loans) . I have a decent job making over $55K per year. I also have a $60K inheritance coming my way in a few weeks. I am absolutely crazy about achieving absolute financial independence, which for me would require a passive income of over $2000/month to cover my living expenses. I could achieve that in a mere couple of years if I were to save excessively and dump my savings (and inheritance) into a Mortgage REIT via the stock market, most of which are shelling out above 10% returns in dividend payments. Is this a good strategy for me? Or am I being too hasty and assuming too much risk?
Developing passive income is different. With the exception of one of my passive income streams (cryptocurrency mining), all of the others require real, hard work. Truly, I understand the barriers for people getting into building alternative income streams. I would say that most people WANT passive income, but truly arenâ€™t willing to put in the blood, sweat, and tears to make it happen.

There are many comments about it being impossible to break into real estate with little money, or needing help from the bank of mommy and daddy. It is possible. I bought my first property, a multifamily, 6 months after graduating college, with a garbage job I got 3 months before and barely 7k in the bank. Itâ€™s now two years later and Iâ€™ve purchased a second this summer. Regarding management, I self-manage like most â€˜small timeâ€™ landlords. Unless you own a massive apartment buidling, thereâ€™s no need to professional managment. Like another comment mentioned, Iâ€™ve only ever gotten heating issues or other minor things, for which I have a handyman to take care of. Aside from that, itâ€™s fairly passive IMO. Dividend investing doesnâ€™t require 100k either. Itâ€™s just an example the author used. I invest un securities with dividends ranging from 2-12%, and hedge/balance according to risk. Higher dividend % isnâ€™t always better, but there are some good deals you can find. I think the key is to realize that you donâ€™t need to stick to just one form of passive investment. Sure, 10 properties sounds daunting, and a $1M portfolio seems impossible, but you can combine both, as well as other passive income strategies. And ofc, the more risk you are willing to take on, the higher the potential reward (and loss). I day/swing trade, but wouldnâ€™t advise this. Itâ€™s also not passive, I spend a massive amount of time researching and analyzing the technicals, but itâ€™s worth it for now, as Iâ€™m fairly consistnet with profits. I have not tried blogging, and am not sure Iâ€™d be any good at it. I dabbled in ecommerce but found it was too time consuimg, but I know people who were able to quit their 9-5s from ecommerce. Iâ€™m sure no matter how much debt you have (i have 30k unsecured debt) or how little you think you make, there is a way to start investing today, even if itâ€™s starting small.

Are you in the process of relocating to or from Oklahoma? There are many things you need to consider. If one of them is car transport, it is important that you do your research and find the most reliable company that offers car carriers services in oklahoma that fit your needs and will meet your expectations. There are a few things to keep in mind and one of them is cost. The cost can fluctuate greatly from one car towing company to another. You’d be surprised at how much you can save by looking into seasonal discounts and specials. To get the most accurate estimate it is important to have as much information as possible when filling a car tow quote or speaking to a car hauler representative. Your estimate is based not only the distance of travel but also the specifications of your vehicle. Another important factor to consider when looking for a transport company is finding one that insures your vehicle or offers any type of recovery plan. You never want to use a company that doesn’t offer coverage for your vehicle in the event that something should happen to it. Be sure to also check if the Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredits the company and feel free to check their reviews. Not only can you find reviews on the BBB website but you can also find reviews on the company website as well as on yelp.com and yellowpages.com, just to name a few. Reading carriers reviews allows you to get insight on how other parties feel about the potential company and the carriers services they provide.
These steps can assure that you will get the most out of your car transport, particularly if you are coming from the other side of the country. Please be sure to check your fluids and make sure your car has enough gas to get where you are going on the other end of the trip. Pinpoint a good drop-off/delivery location that is easily accessible. If you are scheduling for terminal-to-terminal drop-off/delivery be sure to choose a terminal that is close to the area where you plan to be. We hope you take these things into consideration when seeking the help of a car carriers company to ship your vehicle to or from oklahoma.

Former NFL lineman Evan Mathis said last month he had decided to sell the jewel of his baseball card collection to help buy a new house for his family. He should be able to live in a pretty nice neighborhood.
Mathis' 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card sold at auction Thursday for $2.88 million, according to the Heritage Auctions website. The card was graded by the authenticating firm PSA as a Mint 9, the second-highest grade available and a rare classification for a 1952 Mantle.
While Heritage had estimated the card's value at $3.5 million before to the auction, it still came close to the record of $3.12 million paid in 2016 for a T-206 Honus Wagner card.
Mathis told The Associated Press last month he acquired the card about two years ago but decided to part with it because he needed to free up some money to move his family from Arizona to Tennessee.
"I don't think I'll have any regrets because I'll have a nice house to show for it instead of the card," he said.
Mathis, 36, retired following the 2016 NFL season after stints with the Panthers, Dolphins, Bengals, Eagles, Broncos and Cardinals. He was a Pro Bowl selection at guard for the Eagles in 2013 and '14, and was part of Denver's Super Bowl champion team the following year.

Last summer I made some clipboards for my class.
and I still want a class set left for instruction.
My box of clipboards was driving me mental.
The clipboards did not fit into the box.
The strings with the pencils attached got all tangled.
I needed a clipboard solution.
This year will be better.
I like to repurpose materials.
With old throw-away binders, I solved the clipboard conundrum.
This one was great since it had pockets inside.
I cut off the binder part off and put it in metal recycling.
(lots of cool colours and designs, but I like simple and I like purple) .
And you have a fine clipboard. Actually, 2 fine clipboards.
This year, the clipboards will be in a bin, the clips will be in a basket and I have a lovely tin that used to hold chocolates that is the perfect size for the pencils.
No mess. No tangles. Happy teacher.
I use all different coloured throw away binders.
about what colour clip board some kids felt that they needed.
Worries unfounded - I guess the purple duct tap made them all the same!
and they were one more step that we didn't need.
So stinkin smart Sandi! I love me some clipboards too! I get some really cute, reasonably sized ones from Dollar Tree. I don't let the kids use THOSE ones though!

“Lush, dark and unsettling, No book but the world haunted me for days. With great skill, Leah Hager Cohen takes us through a twisty and resonant tale about the price of secrets, the burden of family, the remnants of childhood we never leave behind.” Megan Abbott, author of The end of everything and Dare me At the edge of a woods, on the grounds of a defunct “free school,” Ava and her brother, Fred, shared a dreamy and seemingly idyllic childhood—a world defined largely by their imaginations and each other’s presence. Everyone is aware of Fred’s oddness or vague impairment, but his parents’ fierce disapproval of labels keeps him free of evaluation or intervention, and constantly at Ava’s side. Decades later, then, when Ava learns that her brother is being held in a county jail for a shocking crime, she is frantic to piece together what actually happened. A boy is dead. But could Fred really have done what he is accused of? As she is drawn deeper into the details of the crime, Ava becomes obsessed with learning the truth, convinced that she and she alone will be able to reach her brother and explain him—and his innocence—to the world.

VRVD LONG FELLOW: Uncles of Boy born in Rohini star will get ill effect is it?
Uncles of Boy born in Rohini star will get ill effect is it?
One of the superstitions with respect to boy born in Rohini star is that the mother's brothers would have ill effects. Also the mitigation of ill-effect is supposed to be, by not looking at the boy directly. They see the son in a reflection of oil.
Now, let us get to the reason for this superstition. Kanha / Krishna killed his own uncle Kamsa for his bad deeds.
And anyone born in any star be bold enough to punish even revered persons if the mistake is grave and against the self or family.

Red, brown, blonde, short or long??? Sounds like any typical woman at her hairdresser trying to decide what to do with her hair.....only I was at a wig shop. Diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma just a few weeks earlier at age 36, my life had been turned upside down. Or so I thought... I "accidentally" found a lump in my breast. Scared, I called my doctor right away. I made my husband go with me but was told that it was nothing to worry about, just fibrocystic changes.
That was great news. We were about three weeks away from closing on our house we were building and I did not need anything else to worry about! However, about a week after getting settled into our new home, the lump was still there and I was still concerned. I returned to my physician who again reassured me that it was nothing to worry about. After much persistence and a few tears, he agreed to send me for a mammogram the next day. I went to the mammogram appointment alone – after all, this lump was "nothing" and I hated to ask Dean to take time away from work just for my piece of mind. I was still breast feeding so the technician warned me that the mammogram may not be as accurate as it normally would. After the mammogram was completed, I was asked to sit in this tiny room about the size of a closet. A few minutes passed and the radiologist and tech walked in (I am still not sure how 3 of us fit in that tiny room) and she told me that she was 98% sure that it was cancer. I honestly thought I was going to pass out. They wanted to do an ultrasound and biopsy right then.
I called Dean and he arrived just as they were getting me ready for the biopsy. Just knowing that he was there with me made me feel so much better. I said a quick prayer that whatever the results may be, that God would be with me each step of the way. That He would give me the strength that I would need to face this battle and give me peace about all the uncertainty that I was about to face. I was officially diagnosed the next day with breast cancer. I was terrified, confused, in a daze......I was 36 years old. I was breast feeding my precious daughter. I could not have breast cancer!!!!
That night, a neighbor introduced me to Michelle Milner; a young breast cancer survivor. Talking to Michelle that night and in the coming days was a God send. Then I find out that Michelle's mom and my parents were from the same tiny town and grew up together. Just hearing those words sent chills down my spine...not too many people are from McKenzie, AL (or are they?). We called upon Community of Christ church to come to our home to administer to me. One of the elders that arrived was also from that same tiny town as my parents and played football at McKenzie High School with my dad way back when. It was then that I began to realize that I was not in this fight alone. God was already with me each step of the way and He was surrounding me with people that R I had a connection with to show me He was in control. I realized that I had not been misdiagnosed the first visit...I was just diagnosed in God's time so that His plan could be in place. It was then that I decided that this whole ordeal was beyond my control. The only thing that I was going to be able to control was my attitude. I had cancer but cancer did not have me. I have a wonderful husband, beautiful baby girl and loving family...this was not just about me anymore. I had to fight this battle for them too. My motto became "Let go and let God".
I did some research and found whom I thought were the "best of the best" in oncology and I elected to go to Birmingham for my treatment. I underwent nine (9) chemotherapy treatments, two (2) surgeries (lumpectomy and mastectomy) and 36 radiation treatments. Yes, I had some rough days in there. I was scared and lonely sometimes. I had horrible insomnia. I would wonder if I was going to survive the chemo. It was in those low moments that I would turn it all back over to God. There I was again, trying to take control. Trying to deal with it all by myself. Cancer is not to be fought alone, you will fail. I had chosen the best doctors I felt I could find but God is the almighty physician. I prayed His will be done. I spent much of my sleepless nights in prayer. I know that He has greater plans for me. Being diagnosed with breast cancer has brought me such pain and such joy at the same time. It has given me a relationship with my God that I never knew existed. It has given me the opportunity to be a witness for Jesus Christ. It has changed my priorities. It has made me a better person. I have met so many wonderful people that I never would have met if I would not have been diagnosed. So no....my life had not been turned upside down, it had been made right again. Jesus can make good come out of bad things if you just open your heart and ask.
My life is so much richer now because He is always with me. God does not say that we will not suffer but that He will be with us through our trials and sufferings. Romans 8:18 also tells us "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." September was a year since I was diagnosed. It has been a tough year but one with many rewards. I now start each day with a prayer of thanks for the many blessings that surround me!! I will never be able to thank everyone enough that supported me throughout my treatments; my husband, daughter, parents, sisters, aunt, cousin, friends....the list goes on. Just knowing that I had my faith in God and such a loving family made each step of this journey tolerable. So whenever you are faced with uncertainty LET GO AND LET GOD and you will always come out a SURVIVOR!!

I can’t describe how passionate I am about mental health. I’ve had my own experiences and seen what it can do to people I love. I want to raise awareness about it, fight the stigma and help create an open dialogue. With my blog, I used to do that. There are countless posts about my mental health on here. Yet, in the last year or so, I haven’t been writing as much about mental health.
Why is it so hard to write about mental health?
I’m not suffering with my mental health right now, and haven’t been for the past year or so.
As much as I still remember every horrible, painful feeling that my depression and anxiety caused, I can’t express it. I feel like if I do write about mental health, I’d be a fraud. Someone trying to jump on the bandwagon. It doesn’t feel like my right to write (excuse the puns!) about mental health when I’m in such a good place.
This is a good problem to have. It is a privilege. I’m completely aware of how lucky I am to have my mental health under control (for the time being). Especially, when there are countless people still struggling and feeling tormented by their own brains.
I am a real life example of that.
One thing I remember is how frustrating it is when people casually give advice along the lines of ‘Oh it’ll get better, just hang on in there’. When you’re in a seemingly never-ending struggle with your mental health, it seems easy enough for people to say that, but hanging on is the most difficult part. I get it, but just keep hanging on because it can get better.
Around the age of 13, a very patronising old male doctor told me I had ‘severe anxiety disorder’. I didn’t really understand what that meant at the time. The only reason I was diagnosed was because my school attendance dropped to 30% and stayed that low until I was in sixth form. I couldn’t go to school, leave the house or live a ‘normal’ teenage girl’s life.
I was extremely isolated. On a daily basis, I had panic attacks where it felt like my chest was being simultaneously ripped apart and crushed. These panic attacks would leave me drained of all my energy and completely numb. I really did think it would never get better. I couldn’t even imagine having a job or social life because my anxiety crippled me.
There was not even a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel.
I managed to keep my grades up and taught myself most of my secondary school education which helped me get into my university of choice. At university, I faked my way through. I pretended to be a sassy, confident woman who partied as hard as she wanted and laughed endlessly with her friends. Until I was by myself. Then the reality was obvious. I was a shell of a person.
I didn’t do these things because they brought me joy or I loved them. It was all to numb myself. For a brief moment, doing these things allowed me to escape from everything that overwhelmed me – the darkness, despair and misery. That’s when I was diagnosed with depression.
This doctor’s appointment was different to the first one. I had a lovely female doctor who made me feel understood and listened to. She talked through my options. I’d had so many rounds of counselling and therapy during my teenage years which never worked. I decided to give antidepressants a go.
They aren’t for everyone, but for me, these tablets are bloody magic. That tunnel that felt full of never-ending darkness? It was suddenly illuminated. It was slightly overwhelming at first, but after I adjusted, everything felt light. I started to take control of my life and really live it rather than just enduring it.
I’m living proof that, sometimes, it really can get better! You are strong enough to fight, even if that just means hanging on. Asking for help, makes you even stronger than you could imagine. And life might not be all roses, there are still wobbly moments where I struggle but generally my life is so full of happiness.
I feel unbelievably proud of myself. Firstly for getting the help right for me, but also everything else that I’ve been able to achieve since then. Looking back, I can’t even recognise myself in the 13-year-old or 19-year-old girl I spoke about. I am a completely different person, not just because I’ve grown up. But now, I’m a happy, confident and balanced person.

Patients in West Yorkshire are being made to wait more than six weeks for life-saving tests for bowel cancer.
Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs hospitals in Dewsbury and Wakefield, is one of several Trusts which failed to meet the NHS standard of less than one per cent of patients waiting more than six weeks.
Mid Yorkshire had one of the highest percentage of patients (13 per cent) waiting more than six weeks for colonoscopy appointments.
And 25 per cent of patients were waiting more than six weeks for a flexible sigmoidoscopy which involves the use of a camera on a cable.
More than 15,900 people die from bowel cancer every year in the UK; it’s the nation’s second biggest cancer killer but is curable, especially if diagnosed early.
Research charity Bowel Cancer UK, which is calling for a national endoscopy strategy, described the figures as disappointing and unacceptable.

About forty years ago a good sister told me that a young preacher came to her for advice about preaching. She knew the Bible well because she had put a lot of time in reading it. She said to him, "The gospel is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." The young preacher said, "Sister, I am putting everything I have in my preaching and as much POWER as I can in my speaking." The good sister looked at him and said, "Paul didn't say YOUR POWER but he said God's power." She said to the young preacher, "My advice to you is to pray that the God of heaven would grant you the power that your preaching would feed the children of God."
Brethren and sisters, I sit here tonight thinking about my journey of the last thirty-five years in the ministry and how I failed to do that what this good sister told the young preacher to do. In the last thirty years our preaching is not having the same effect on the congregation that it did in the '40s and '50s. It could be that when we have plenty, the church and the Old Gospel Story is not as important as when we are in need.
I believe we have in our Old Baptist Church the most able preachers in the history of the church. We have the best teaching of the Bible in my forst-five years in the church. Could it be that we are depending on our learning of the Bible and not depending on the Great God of heaven to give us the power to preach the gospel?

One of Wilber's main interests is in mapping what he calls the "neo-perennial philosophy", an integration of some of the views of mysticism typified by Aldous Huxley's The Perennial Philosophy with an account of cosmic evolution akin to that of the Indian mystic Sri Aurobindo. He rejects most of the tenets of Perennialism and the associated anti-evolutionary view of history as a regression from past ages or yugas. Instead, he embraces a more traditionally Western notion of the great chain of being. As in the work of Jean Gebser, this great chain (or "nest") is ever-present while relatively unfolding throughout this material manifestation, although to Wilber "... the 'Great Nest' is actually just a vast morphogenetic field of potentials ..." In agreement with Mahayana Buddhism, and Advaita Vedanta, he believes that reality is ultimately a nondual union of emptiness and form, with form being innately subject to development over time.
Kenneth Earl "Ken" Wilber II (born January 31, 1949) is an American neoplatonic writer and public speaker. He has written and lectured about mysticism, philosophy, ecology, and developmental psychology. His work formulates what he calls Integral Theory. In 1998 he founded the Integral Institute.
Wilber's AQAL, pronounced "ah-qwul", is the basic framework of Integral Theory. It suggests that all human knowledge and experience can be placed in a four-quadrant grid, along the axes of "interior-exterior" and "individual-collective". According to Wilber, it is one of the most comprehensive approaches to reality, a metatheory that attempts to explain how academic disciplines and every form of knowledge and experience fit together coherently.
AQAL is based on four fundamental concepts and a rest-category: four quadrants, several levels and lines of development, several states of consciousness, and "types", topics which do not fit into these four concepts. "Levels" are the stages of development, from pre-personal through personal to transpersonal. "Lines" are lines of development, the several domains of development, which may process uneven, with several stages of development in place at the various domains. "States" are states of consciousness; according to Wilber persons may have a terminal experience of a higher developmental stage. "Types" is a rest-category, for phenomena which do not fit in the other four concepts. In order for an account of the Kosmos to be complete, Wilber believes that it must include each of these five categories. For Wilber, only such an account can be accurately called "integral". In the essay, "Excerpt C: The Ways We Are in This Together", Wilber describes AQAL as "one suggested architecture of the Kosmos".

Three-time defending champion De La Salle University and University of Sto. Tomas duke it out for the hold of the solo second spot.
With its confidence back, three-time defending champion De La Salle University seeks revenge on an equally dangerous foe in University of Stro. Tomas on Sunday in the UAAP Season 81 women’s volleyball tournament at the MOA Arena.
The Lady Spikers are coming off a straight sets bounce back win over National University last Wednesday and are looking to add the Tigresses in their list of victims in the 4:00 p.m. duel that will air live on ABS-CBN S+A Channel 23, ABS-CBN S+A HD Channel 166, LIGA SkyCable Channel 86, LIGA HD SkyCable Channel 183, iWant and via livestream.
DLSU and UST together with idle Far Eastern University are tied at second with 6-3 win-loss cards behind league-leading Ateneo de Manila University (8-1).
The Lady Spikers suffered a stinging 20-25, 22-25, 17-25, loss at the hands of the Tigresses in their first round meeting.
“Pilitin naming manalo kasi kailangang-kailangan namin sa standing yun eh. Kailangan namin maka-ahon doon sa tie, ilang tie? Apat yata kaming nag-aagawan sa second place,” he added.
But UST knows that DLSU will seek its revenge. The Tigresses are ready.
“So with La Salle, anytime babalik. Kailangan namin paghahandaan ‘yung additional adjustment na defnitiely meron iyan. Pipilitin natin i-counter sa kanila on Sunday,” said UST coach Kungfu Reyes.
The Tigresses are fresh from a straight sets dismantling of Adamson University last Wednesday.
UST will pin its hopes on Sisi Rondina, rookie Eya Laure, Dimdim Pacres and veteran Caitlyn Viray while DLSU will have Des Cheng, Tin Tiamzon, rookie Jolina Dela Cruz and Lourdes Clemente leading the Lady Spikers’ charge.

Due to difficulties faced during the salvage of the stricken cruise ship Costa Concordia the total insured loss from one of the most costly marine disasters in history look set to rise, perhaps to greater than $2 billion, according to reports.
A report in the Independent newspaper yesterday suggested that the costs to salvage the ship, through attempts to right the vessel, float it and tow the wreck away, are rising. If the current salvage plan failed to work the costs could rise even further as back-up plans such as cutting up the wreck would then have to be initiated.
Carsten Scheffel, chief executive of Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, told the Independent that the current cost of the Costa Concordia loss is around $1.6 billion. Insurers and reinsurers have paid out approximately $1 billion to date.
The complex nature of the wreck removal is blamed for the escalating costs. The Costa Concordia sank in an environmentally sensitive area, so the first efforts to remove the ship involve righting the ship and towing it away to be dismantled, a costly effort. It’s a long and complex task and estimates suggest that the wreck of the Costa Concordia may be ready for towing by the end of June 2014.
The Independent article goes on to discuss the fact that insurers and reinsurers may be unprepared for the costs that a major incident could throw at them. With the size of shipping vessels growing all the time the article suggests that the salvage industry may not be able to respond to worst-case scenarios, as salvage equipment large enough to cope with such a response does not even exist. A scenario like that would see insurers and reinsurers footing even larger bills as salvage efforts would be extremely costly.
Further loss creep on the Costa Concordia disaster will provide further ammunition for marine insurers and reinsurers to push up rates, something they have been trying to do in recent years. This may make marine rates even more attractive to alternative capital and insurance-linked securities (ILS) players.
With the alternative reinsurance capital market already looking to marine as a viable line of business, a number of collateralized reinsurers, retrocessionaires and ILS funds provide some marine capacity, the prospect of rising marine rates may encourage even more participation from the capital markets.
There has been some exposure to the Costa Concordia loss in the ILS and collateralized reinsurance market, through industry-loss warranties (ILW’s) and retro protections. Some of these have already been settled we understand, so this further loss creep is unlikely to worry the ILS market significantly. If it helps to put more upwards pressure on marine reinsurance pricing it might serve to make marine a more attractive business proposition though.

Can your smart phone determine if you’re having the most serious — and deadly — form of heart attack? A new research study says it can — and may be a valuable tool to save lives.
“The sooner you can get the artery open, the better the patient is going to do. We found this app may dramatically speed things up and save your life,” said J. Brent Muhlestein, MD, lead investigator of the study and cardiovascular researcher at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute.
“We found the app helped us diagnose heart attacks very effectively — and it didn’t indicate the presence of a heart attack when one wasn’t occurring,” Dr. Muhlestein said.
A STEMI is a very serious type of heart attack during which one of the heart’s major arteries — which supplies oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the heart muscle — is blocked. ST-segment elevation is an abnormality that’s detectable on the 12-lead ECG.
The idea for this kind of ECG set-up perhaps came from the use of treadmills for personal fitness development, said Dr. Muhlestein. Many people using treadmills wear a simple device that can detect their heart rate, through a single ECG lead, more accurate than just checking the pulse. “It’s a simple jump from there to putting it on a smartphone, and then recording the same ECG lead from several body positions.” he said.
The first is it could speed up the urgent treatment a patient needs after suffering a STEMI. American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines recommend that the “door-to-balloon time” — or the time from when a patient enters the hospital to when a catheter with a balloon on the tip is inserted into the patient’s blocked artery, then inflated to flatten plaque against the wall of the artery — be less than 90 minutes.
Secondly, the price of the app with the two-wire extension is low, which could put the power of an ECG into the hands of anyone with a smartphone or smartwatch, and make ECGs accessible in places like third world countries where people have smartphones but where expensive ECG machines are hard to find, if they’re available at all.

It’s true, there are a ton of apps out there that want to help you plan and enjoy your next vacation, but Yahoo believes its new Radar app can do things a little differently to the current crop of offerings.
Launched on Tuesday, the iOS-only app is billed as a “smart travel guide” that uses machine learning to offer personalized recommendations for your next trip, gathering the best information from across the web and refining those searches the more you use the app, VentureBeat reported.
So yes, everything you’d expect is included – advice on unmissable sights, suggestions for great dining and shopping experiences, notes on must-see events, and so on. To make the information as useful as possible, the app automatically filters these recommendations based on your own preferences and date of travel.
What it also does – and here’s the “smart” bit – is scan your email inbox in search of any trip-related messages. When it comes across something relevant, for example flight and hotel booking information, it’ll automatically incorporate it into your itinerary. Once done, you’ll receive alerts if your trip details change, so you’ll be informed if, for example, your flight’s delayed or if your gate changes.
Radar also offers up tips from people who’ve already been to where you’re going, and you can use their recommendations to build your own bucket list – another feature of the app.
Rather than inputting text for searches the whole time, the app endeavors to guide you through by offering options via buttons, its AI engine learning about your preferences as you use the app and responding accordingly.
At this stage, you need a Yahoo account to use Radar, but the good news is that you don’t need a Yahoo Mail account. That’s because since last year Yahoo has offered support for a number of other web-based email services, including Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail, and AOL Mail.
As we said at the top, there’s a plethora of travel apps already out there fighting for your attention. You may have already found one that you’re perfectly happy with. If not, try Radar.

What’s Up in the Valley!
I hope this blog finds you doing well.
As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can assist you, a family member or a friend with all of your any estate needs.
As part of its Know Before You Owe mortgage initiative, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has released “Owning a Home,” an interactive, online toolkit designed to help consumers as they shop for a mortgage. The suite of tools gives consumers the information and confidence they need to get the best deal.
Owning a Home takes consumers from the very start of the homebuying process, with a guide to loan options, terminology, and costs, through to the closing table with a closing checklist.
One key feature of Owning a Home is the Rate Checker tool. In its beta release, this tool helps consumers understand what interest rates may be available to them by using the same underwriting variables that lenders use on their internal rate sheets. These are the documents lenders use to calculate what interest rate is available for a particular combination of loan type, property value, loan amount, and credit score. The data behind the Rate Checker is updated daily and includes information from large banks, regional banks, and credit unions and covers about 80 percent of the mortgage market.
Homeowners often consider various remodeling and replacement projects as a way to add value to their homes. Some projects add more value and better recoup their costs than others, according to REALTORS® who rated small and exterior projects as the most valuable home improvement projects in the 2015 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report. Compiled annually in collaboration with Hanley Wood’s Remodeling Magazine, the report compares changes in home improvement project costs with REALTORS®’ perceptions of what those projects contribute to a home’s price at resale.
Just as they did last year, REALTORS® identified a steel entry door replacement as the project expected to return the most money, with an estimated 101.8 percent of costs recouped upon resale (compared to an estimated 96.6 percent recoup last year). The steel entry door replacement is consistently the least expensive project in the annual Cost vs. Value Report, costing little more than $1,200 on average and was the only project on this year’s list to recoup more than 100 percent of its cost at resale on a national level.
REALTORS® also identified several other projects that would make the biggest financial payoff upon resale, most on the exterior of the home. Rounding out the top 10 projects in terms of cost recouped include a manufactured stone veneer (newly included in this year’s report) at 92.2 percent, a garage door replacement—midrange project (88.5 percent), a siding replacement with fiber cement (84.3 percent), a garage door replacement—upscale project (82.5 percent), vinyl siding replacement (80.7 percent), a wood deck addition (80.5 percent), a minor kitchen remodel (79.3 percent), wood window replacement (78.8 percent), and foam-backed vinyl siding replacement (77.6 percent).
As in previous years, the Pacific region experienced the best overall cost-value ratio of 74 percent. The region, which encompasses California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii, typically sees higher cost-value ratios on account of higher resale values. That region also holds the only market—San Francisco—that experienced a combined cost-value ratio of over 100 percent for all 36 projects.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released a report finding that almost half of consumers do not shop around for a mortgage when purchasing a home. The report also found that informed consumers are more likely to shop, especially if they are familiar with available mortgage rates.
Almost half of consumers who take out a mortgage fail to shop prior to filling out an application for a mortgage. This means these consumers are seriously considering only a single lender or mortgage broker before choosing where to apply.
While half of consumers shop around to see who advertises lower rates, fewer than 25 percent of borrowers actually end up submitting a loan application to more than one lender or broker. These consumers are not filling out applications with multiple lenders to see which one can offer them the best deal.
The survey asked recent mortgage borrowers whether they used different information sources. Respondents were asked to report whether they used each source a lot, a little, or not at all. Consumers could pick multiple categories. Among the findings: 70 percent of consumers report relying on their lender or mortgage broker a lot to get information about mortgages. While lenders and brokers can be valuable resources, they have a stake in the selling of the mortgage, so what is best for the lender or broker is not always best for the consumer.
The survey asked borrowers whether characteristics of lenders or mortgage brokers were “very,” “somewhat,” or “not at all” important in their selection. The survey found those who listed lender characteristics as important, instead of the loan terms, are less likely to shop. Specifically, the survey found that among all borrowers – those who shopped and those who did not – 42 percent said having an established banking relationship with the lender is “very important.” Since most borrowers likely only have a few banking relationships, this likely inhibits shopping.
CoreLogic released new analysis showing nearly 273,000 U.S. homes returned to positive equity in Q3 2014, bringing the total number of mortgaged residential properties with equity to approximately 44.6 million, or 90 percent of all mortgaged properties. Nationwide, borrower equity increased year over year by approximately $800 billion in Q3 2014. The CoreLogic analysis indicates that approximately 5.1 million homes, or 10.3 percent of all residential properties with a mortgage, were still in negative equity as of Q3 2014, compared to 5.4 million homes, or 10.9 percent, for Q2 2014. This compares to a negative equity share of 13.3 percent, or 6.5 million homes, in Q3 2013, representing a year-over-year decrease in the number of underwater homes by almost 1.5 million (1,433,296), or 3 percent.For the homes in negative equity status, the national aggregate value of negative equity was $338 billion at the end of Q3 2014, down $10.2 billion from approximately $348.2 billion in Q2 2014. On a year-over-year basis, the value of negative equity declined from $403.2 billion in Q3 2013, representing a decrease of 16.2 percent in 12 months.
Of the 44.6 million residential properties with positive equity, approximately 9.4 million, or 19 percent, have less than 20 percent equity (referred to as “under-equitied”) and 1.3 million of those have less than 5 percent equity (referred to as near-negative equity). Borrowers who are “under-equitied” may have a more difficult time refinancing their existing homes or obtaining new financing to sell and buy another home due to underwriting constraints. Borrowers with near-negative equity are considered at risk of moving into negative equity if home prices fall. In contrast, if home prices rose by as little as 5 percent, an additional one million homeowners now in negative equity would regain equity.

CoreLogic released its November National Foreclosure Report, which provides data on completed U.S. foreclosures and the foreclosure inventory. According to CoreLogic, for the month of November 2014, there were 41,000 completed foreclosures nationally, down from 46,000 in November 2013, a year-over-year decrease of 9.6 percent and down 64 percent from the peak of completed foreclosures in September 2010. On a month-over-month basis, completed foreclosures were down 12.6 percent from the 47,000* reported in October 2014. As a basis of comparison, before the decline in the housing market in 2007, completed foreclosures averaged 21,000 per month nationwide between 2000 and 2006.
Completed foreclosures are an indication of the total number of homes actually lost to foreclosure. Since the financial crisis began in September 2008, there have been approximately 5.5 million completed foreclosures across the country, and since homeownership rates peaked in the second quarter of 2004, there have been approximately 7 million homes lost to foreclosure.
As of November 2014, approximately 567,000 homes nationally were in some stage of foreclosure, known as the foreclosure inventory, compared to 880,000 in November 2013, a year-over-year decrease of 35.5 percent and representing 37 consecutive months of year-over-year declines. The foreclosure inventory as of November 2014 made up 1.5 percent of all homes with a mortgage, compared to 2.2 percent in November 2013. On a month-over-month basis, the foreclosure inventory was down 3.3 percent from October 2014. The current foreclosure rate of 1.5 percent is the lowest inventory level since March 2008.
November 2014: Decreased 13.4 percent from 104.8 in October to 90.7 in November.

I’ve built this life over years though, and it isn’t for everyone, here are 7 reasons that you shouldn’t work for yourself.
This seems strange to me, but some people either don’t have the ability or the desire to think of what they need to do.
Some people need someone to actually say “do this Monday for the project, on Tuesday do this…”.
This doesn’t make people unintelligent, they just don’t want to put all their focus into this. They would like to just do their work, go home and not think about it again.
As a business owner, you need to think about this stuff, and there really isn’t anyone there to tell you what’s next.
There are really cool jobs out there. And jobs that aren’t so great that people love doing.
I think a job at a zoo would be cool unless you’re cleaning up after the animals. Or a job doing something I loved, I would love to get paid to binge watch some Netflix.
But others get a deep satisfaction from their job. Doctors, nurses, lawyers, social workers, teachers, most of these people don’t do it for the money. If you’re a nurse, you know it isn’t worth what they pay you. The stress of being a Doctor or Lawyer is also not “worth” the money, but some people just really enjoy it.
So, if you like the job you have, stick with it.
You will never avoid stress altogether. No matter what job you have it will have a measure of it.
However, as a business owner, it is now magnified by about 1,000.
Any problem is your problem, any expense your expense, complaints are yours to fix. Somedays, the problems feel like they will never stop.
On top of that, cash flow is now your problem. If you aren’t making money you no longer have an upset boss, you now have no food, no electric, no place to sleep. The stakes are much, much higher.
This is probably the one that makes me want to have a “real job”.
I love being around people, having conversations about their weekend, their hobbies, their vacations, etc. As a self-employed work from home individual, it’s absolutely possible for me to never see another person for a long long time.
So, if you’re someone who needs to be around other people, working for yourself may not be the best course of action for you.
I’ve found ways around it, and spend plenty of time with people, but not everyone has those same options.
When I first started working at Walgreens I worked with an older woman who was very good at her job, and a very successful businesswoman.
She and her husband owned stores, a real estate company, and a few other things I still don’t know about. Even with having a good amount of money from these businesses, she worked 32 hours a week at Walgreens.
Not 33, not 31, but 32 hours a week. Why? Because she needed the health insurance for her and her husband. She told me it was impossible for her to get health insurance because of their health conditions, and their age. So, even though they had money and a good business she still had to get a regular job because there was no other way for her to get insurance.
There are more options for self-employed people now than there were, but it can still be difficult. In fact, there are days I don’t understand what I’m paying for with my insurance because it never seems to cover anything.
Regardless, if you NEED health insurance (and really who doesn’t), it may be a reason you don’t work for yourself.
We have all read the articles, and books, and seen the videos and testimonials of people who have started working for themselves and are now on a beach somewhere making millions of dollars.
I’m here to tell you, that isn’t really possible. If I stop working on my business it will stop making money. Sure it will continue for a while, but eventually, my inventory at Amazon will run out, my clients will drop me because they need someone to actually do the work, and I’ll have to move in with someone because we won’t have money to pay the rent.
Working for yourself does mean you can start when you want and end when you want, however, you’ll still need to put in a lot of work if you want results.
You can, in theory, go to the beach, work, and make money however you won’t really be able to enjoy the beach because you’ll be working the whole time.
As Whitney from Money Nerds told me, you will have autonomy but not freedom. You’re in control of your time, no one is going to tell you that you have to work at a specific time, but they will expect you to get the work done.
This one really makes me laugh. Friends and family sometimes say that I don’t work as hard as they do, some think I don’t work at all.
So, they start trying the stuff I do, and they usually last about 2 weeks. I did have one friend who ran an Amazon FBA business for 6 months but then gave up as “they couldn’t make any money”.
I’m not saying that they were wrong, it’s possible they couldn’t make money, but 6 months is hardly time enough to tell, not only that, those that didn’t even make it a month will never know if they could have made something of it.
I’ve been doing this for over 3 years now, and only now am starting to make “real” money. The first few years I actually lost money in this business, last year was the first year I was actually cash flow positive.
All of this took time, and hard work.
It’s true, I don’t have a “schedule” of I must work from this time to this time. But, I have work that must be done by a certain time, I have clients that can contact me at strange times and sometimes I do have to drop whatever I’m doing to fix a problem. I work ALL THE TIME, even when I’m on vacation or spending time with friends, I get emails, phone calls, and text messages about work.
Not only that, my mind is constantly on work. Thinking of new things to do, new topics to discuss, and ways to help others.
So, if you want to work less, keep your “real job”, working for yourself won’t help.

4/20 Special: How healthy is Weed?
Cannabis’s medical benefits have been proven, and it needs to be legalized to support those suffering from PTSD, argues Kim Petters of Delaware Online. She explains that the drug helped her cope with her PTSD after serving in the military. Legal medication helped very little, so she turned to Cannabis, which reduced her anxiety and helped her sleep at night. However, she describes the arduous process of obtaining the drug legally, concluding that it should be legalized so that it can be used to help veterans treat their war-induced metal health issues.
Smoking Cannabis can have severe adverse health effects, particularly on children, reports Suzanne Bowness of Concordia University News. She suggests that consuming the drug can negatively affect memory, learning and cognitive abilities. As such a large amount of Cannabis smokers start at a young age, they are highly susceptible to becoming addicted, perpetuating these health problems, infers Bowness. She calls for more studies of Cannabis to raise awareness and understanding of the health problems that it can cause.

We kept hearing so many people call the long-sleeve version of the Gabba as “perfect,” so we’ve renamed it the Perfetto Jacket and set about improving on perfection. We’ve improved the water-repellent finish so it will keep you drier without affecting breathability. We’ve refined the fit. We’ve laser cut the drain holes in the pockets. And we’ve totally redone the splash flap on the back to make it lie flatter and fit better. The reflective logo back there keeps you visible.
