I really appreciate these kinds of posts (I too have marked the day in my own way) – there are two observations that I want to comment on. One is “this day evokes a type of primordial humankind where Life is sacred”. A friend of mine who is getting into Germanic polytheism has commented that all the (male Germanic) Gods seem to have a warrior aspect (which appeals to him), and I can see where he is coming from. In Roman polytheism I see a similar trend but it is not a military one so much. Whenever I read up and study (the major) Roman Gods all of them seem to be fertility Gods in one way or another – making the Roman pantheon, the Roman way to the Gods, the Roman emphasis, a celebration of life itself. I wonder if you agree, or am I generalising too much? The other thing I wanted to comment on relates to the cult of the ancestors – well it goes back to our discussion in relation to the Lares, and I wonder what you think? I know this sounds old fashioned but for various reasons I have begun to get a sense of my familia’s Lares as being related to my husband’s name, which I took, and so they protect me as well, this surname … is what binds the Lares to us. Not to say that that the women in all this don’t matter, or the men whose names have not been passed down, of course they do, but our society is patrilineal … I guess it is one thing to understand who you are by having a sense of who (all of) your ancestors are – that has got to be important, regardless of one’s spiritual persuasions, but who are the Lares? I used to think they were “land spirits” but I grow more and more convinced they are really “family spirits”. But my mind is too logical, for how can they split themselves between families when there are often so many branches of the one family? If the Lares are tied to particular family names then does that make things clearer? Or even more confused?
Your comment raises two interesting issues.
Regarding the first I can say that I have a little knowledge of the German tradition and I cannot make a comparison. As for Traditional Roman Spirituality, I can remember what a wise old man (perhaps paraphrasing Heraclitus) told me a long time ago: "the weapon of Mars (the spear) symbolizes the Life (the phallus), but its action brings death".
Many Roman Deities show actually this duplicity. Think about Venus (water) as the source of life and death, but I can say the same for Diana, Dionysus, Apollo, etc ... The Divine, as highest expression of the Existence, always shows a duality, (male/female, life/death, etc ...) not to express opposition, but rahter integration, interdependence. In this sense, the Roman tradition highlights its origins in the Ancient Vedic India - also the basis for traditional Chinese and Japanese heritage in the East. These opposites are not individualities, but closely related components, sometimes difficult to distinguish, in a single whole process.
The Existence itslef is the result of this oscillating between two poles: better, the Existence is this oscillating movement. Each Divine force, eg. Mars, therefore expresses this concept: contraction/expansion, male/female, generation/destruction. Each polarity finds its meaning, its reason for being, in the presence of the opposite polarity: there can be no life without death and vice versa. The meaning of life lies in the sense of death and vice versa. There can be no contraction without expansion: we can not always breathe in, breathe out is necessary in order to live. A Divine force being only expression of destruction, expansion, only warrior force, according to the Traditional Roman Spirituality, would not be a true God Force because "partial", "reduced", "limited": limitation is a feature of the human dimension and in this sense would be more human than divine.
The same is true for each of us where these forces coexist in a complementary activity. It is important to find this ideal balance (which tradition describes as the Rebis). Each of us is the result of the action of male/female forces: in this monotheism shows all its limitations trying in to suppress the feminine in every way thus pushing to unbalace.
It's a very complex issue requiring much more space. I will try to deal with it appropriately and widely in another occasion. I'm sorry if it's not very exhaustive.
Similarly, it's not easy to me to adequately reply to your second observation. What I can briefly say concerning the Lares, is that they express the idea of rooting, in a very broad and deep sense. The Family Lares describe the rooting in Time (past-present-future), the Lares Compitales the rooting in space, in places. In the case of the Family Lares they are not clearly male or female: they do not belong to a family simply identified by a family name. They are the soul of the family. The Lares family are the sacralization of "your" sense of rootedness in time: they evidence "your awareness" of being part of a flow of generation (in a very broad sense). Different is what concerns Lares Compitales because they - very briefly - are those elements giving an identity, a dignity to a place. Again I hope to address these complex issues more adequately.
Regarding the first point – thank you for that response, it was well put. When you say a ‘Divine force being only expression of destruction, expansion, only warrior force … would not be a true God Force because [it would be] "partial", "reduced", "limited”’ you are right, naturally Germanic Paganism has the expression of life forces (the Vanir Gods, such as Freyr, who is like Faunus, Njord, who is like Neptune, Freyja, who is like Venus, are all principally concerned with life, peace and fertility, but they too have the deathly aspect that you speak of), but the problem is that the vast majority of what has been left recorded pertains to warrior spirituality so mostly we are mostly left guessing about the spirituality of ancient Germanic women, the homestead, the farm and so on.
The problem of the Death, as a mysterious and unknowable event by definition, of course is a very personal topic affecting everyone and, because of its characteristics, in one way or another, brings fear and despair. Enlightened, unenlightened, wise, foolish, rich, poor, we are all destined to die like all the living beings.
Everyone of us is alone in front of the death.
This event has always impressed men and women, but nowadays the death creates even more discomfort because our society, and culture, tend to remove the death from our mental horizon. A society totally focused on the present, on the primacy of appearance, superficial beauty and matter, rather than on substance and the spirit, has created a psychological distance with death never happened before. Moreover, it is inevitable that a society that is totally detached from nature and its cycles tries to remove the thought of death. If you observe nature, trying to live according to her cycles, you will realize that everything is a cyclic alternation of birth and death.
Death, like life, is always naturally present. Always very close to us.
But our culture instead, thanks to science, is trying to prolong life in every way delaying as long as possible, even in an unnatural way, the event of death. It's a culture unable to handle the problem of the old age: being old creates discomfort because considered the antechamber of death.
Even when talking about food, the death of the animals, to sustain our life, is completely forgotten and removed.
In the past, also in the rural communities in not so far times, death was always present and it always accompanied the everyone’s life. Think for example about the high infant mortality of the past. Obviously the fear of death, as a form of "loss", was a real authentic feeling. But death was better accepted as something naturally inevitable. On the contrary, we never think about death, death horrifies us as something should never happen. We live in a culture totally biased on the worship of our personal Ego, and the death is the definitive loss of our Ego: this is why we tend to remove the idea of the death from our personal horizon. But the thought of death should never abandon us. "Live as if you were already dead": this is a typical traditional Roman attitude. There is no despair or resignation in this, but rather serenity. Desperation does not help us in overcoming death, indeed it makes Death a terrible event.
We Cultores and Cultrices do not have an idea of a world beyond life: if this world after death exists or not is a non-issue. We have this our life we try to accept as it is, especially with its limits. We are just part of a flow of existence. The image of the Family Lares describes this flowing of generations.
We can not know everything, we can not give rational answers to everything. There are questions that remain unanswered. The idea of death, even as a moment of personal reflection, gives us the awareness to be just humans with their limits and their unanswered questions.
And the limit by definition is death.
I do not know if all this can help to accept with serenity the event of (our and the others’) death, but living each minute of the existence as if it were the last one makes me appreciate life as authentic as possible.
You are right and I agree with all that you say about this. The funny thing is though that it is a lesson I keep learning. It's like I forget and then am reminded that I already know this, but then I forget again until I relearn this, only to forget it again. This is my fault, but I think I am influenced by societal norms as well. In our contemporary societies it is actually possible, for periods of time at least, to forget about the reality of death, which only makes death seem more frightening and more strange. The challenge is to remember death, which is to remember that change is constant, impermanence total and life beautifully fragile. I (think I) understand the serenity thing – sometimes when death seems more real the beauty of life seems even more vivid, more beautiful, more precious. There is an acceptance of life as it is – deeply flawed and painful, but beautiful and perfect all at once. Well I say this now, but no doubt I will forget again, until someone wise reminds me, and I relearn what I already knew.

I'd like to broach a topic that rarely gets openly addressed in Williston—or Levy County or Florida or the United States: racism. Before I get into it, let me make clear two things: first, I am white; and second, being called "racist" is not the same as being called a "bad person." So, without apologies to anyone, let me get straight to the point.
If you're white, you're a racist. That's just a fact of life. The world in which we were brought up was racist (and still is), despite anything our parents or teachers or church leaders taught us about treating everyone equally. So, yes, I'm a racist, too. Racism is much more deeply rooted in our culture, society, and institutions than we whites ever see at work. And because we don't see what's going on behind the curtain, we end up participating in, perpetuating, and sustaining racism, with or without our explicit knowledge or consent.
Individual racism is easy to spot: a self-proclaimed white supremacist intentionally driving his car into a crowd of counter-protestors in Charlottesville, killing a woman; a white person claiming certain neighborhoods are unsafe because they are not majority white, despite any statistics to prove that claim; or a white mother at a public school board meeting objecting to integration of the school her daughter attends on the claim that her daughter will then have to pass through a metal detector every day, when the schools from which nonwhite students will be brought have none.
Institutional and systemic racism are not things that whites ever have to experience personally, so understanding them as problematic is difficult. Take, for example, the fact that lynching is still not recognized as a federal crime, despite 200 attempts to make it one. Or look at how the war on drugs plays out in our neighborhoods, where majority white middle-class neighborhoods get little attention, because most of the drug-dealing takes place behind closed doors, meaning a warrant is required; and most attention gets focused on lower-class neighborhoods where a large portion of homes are multi-generational, with someone in the house at all times, meaning that drug-dealing must be moved outdoors, where it is visible and no warrant is required. These neighborhoods have a higher percentage of nonwhite residents, so they end up being targeted and arrested at a higher rate than whites, despite the fact that the rate of drug use and dealing is the same among whites and nonwhites.
There are things we whites take for granted on a daily basis that we don't even understand have long-standing racist overtones. To us, all police officers are Officer Friendly, there to protect us and make us feel safe. Whites are taught that if we do nothing wrong, we need not fear police; that police only go after criminals. For nonwhites, the opposite is true: law enforcement has always been used as the means for racial control by society. Today young black men are 21 times more likely to be shot and killed by police than young white men. Even for the same crime having been committed. Even when no crime has been committed by the young black man.
We whites need to grasp the concept that we cannot understand racism, whether at the most visible level or the least, because we have never suffered from it on a daily, lifelong basis. And because of that, we are constantly at risk of acting in a racist manner—or ignoring racism and its unjust outcomes on a larger or more profound scale. When the topic of racism comes up, I do not, as a white person, get to shed tears when recounting the witnessing of a racist act or policy. What I witnessed was but one brief moment in the life of both myself and the person unjustly treated. The difference is that I, a white person, get to walk away from that moment and forget it, while the other person has to live that treatment every moment of his or her life. My tears, after the fact, do nothing to change what took place then or will take place in the future.
Also, we whites do not get to define racism, just as men do not get to define sexism. I do not get to say, when told that I just made a racist comment or assumption, that it was not. While my intentions may not have been racist, my words or actions may have been. I don't get a "pass" based on what's inside my heart. Neither do I get to demand an explanation: we whites have ignored centuries' worth of explanations. I need to take responsibility, with an open heart and mind, and reflect on what I said or did. I need to take the responsibility not to do it again.
It's one thing for us talk the talk, but we also need to walk the walk. Can I really claim that I am living in the spirit when I refuse to take the time to see that I am not fully walking in the spirit? Can I really say that I am not a racist when I refuse to listen to someone who is explaining to me how he is being treated differently? How can I be anything other than morally bankrupt and spiritually bereft when I ignore the injustices heaped on others and tacitly accept the benefits that accrue to me (or my family or neighborhood or class) as a consequence?
I don't want to be racist. I want to walk in beauty. And to do that, I must accept what others tell me about their own experiences that differ from mine. I must examine whether I have had a role in or benefitted from the circumstances that led to that different experience of life, especially when the outcome is unjust. And I must do the work necessary to change those circumstances, whether or not I benefit directly, because it is the moral thing to do.

If you have an actual Kindle – which you have to have in order for the app to work – I’m not sure exactly why you’d want or need a second, smaller, less-readable version for your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Maybe you’re down to the last two pages of your novel. You want to finish it up on your commute to work, but you don’t want to be stuck lugging the Kindle around for the entire day. This app is exactly what you need.
Maybe you want to read in bed but you don’t have a nightlight. Your Kindle doesn’t provide backlighting; your iPhone does. Boom. The app is perfect.
Maybe you … uh … well. No, I guess that’s it. These are the only two reasons I can imagine anyone wanting to read using an iPhone rather than their Kindle. (Cheating in lit class, perhaps?) Sure you can change the font size and color of the text, you can order and download new books, you can access your Kindle account, and the app automatically syncs any notes or marks you’ve made in your books so that they’re readable on your phone.
However, the screen is smaller, backlighting actually hinders readability and there’s no instant access to the dictionary for any tough words you come across.
So, you can’t carry your Kindle in your back pocket. So what? From what I can tell, the app is basically just a ploy to promote the purchase and use of the actual Kindle.
“You can read books on your iPhone!” … But, you won’t want to.

The 2017 NCAA Division III National Championships have nearly come to an end and Andrew Wilson has completed a perfect run.
Going three-for-three, Emory senior Andrew Wilson completed a perfect NCAA Championships: Three individual titles with three Division III NCAA records. His swim of 1:50.80 broke his own mark from December. As per usual, Wilson took command of the race right from the start and never let up.
Reigning NCAA Champion Ian Reardon of Kenyon took second in 1:58.04, just off his winning time from last year. In a tight race between Michael Lagieski (1:58.51), Timothy Kou (1:58.60) and Tanner Sonnek (1:58.98), Reardon got to the wall first just tenths ahead of his competitors. Aside from Wilson, Reardon had the fastest first half in 56.23 followed by Kou in 56.70. A patient Lagieski was able to sneak in for third to add to his second-place finish in last night’s 100 breast.
Trevor Manz also scored valuable points for Kenyon placing sixth with a 1:59.25, but the Lords’ efforts will be just shy of an overall National Championship title this time around as the Eagles lead the way by 36 points with two men’s events to go.
While Wilson’s loyalty to Emory is commendable it would have been fascinating to see what he would have done against Will Licon & Co. had he stayed in Texas — where he trained @ UTbfir the Olympic Trials in 2K15-’16–rather than return as he did.
Well we’ll see what he does @ thevWorld Championships Trials in a couple of months. Cordes, Milker and Licon are the likely U.S. Men who’ll be on the blocks but don’t count Wilson out just yet.
whether you are in Austin, Shenandoah, Buffalo or Anchorage, the times are remarkable. Maybe, just maybe, he might have an inkling of desire to get the best education possible by returning to Atlanta.

“DIAL M FOR MURDER” was performed at the Westminster Community Playhouse (WCP photo).
Even the best laid plans may go awry … How much more so, when planned by the shallow and the scheming?
Westminster Community Playhouse had a mind for murder in its most recent offering “Dial ‘M’ For Murder,” a friendship turned forbidden romance has been put to rest by wealthy English socialite Margot Wendice (Justine DeAngelo) and her friend and former paramour, Max Halliday (Eduardo Mora), an American scribe of radio plays.
Formerly unhappily married to English tennis luminary Tony Wendice (Jesse Seann Atkinson), she’s found herself giving the relationship one more try, as the previously juvenile athlete has become much more loving and responsive within the last year… Just about the time she had lost her purse at the train station — a purse containing the most precious of Max’s love letters to her, the one she couldn’t bring herself to burn. But Max, who fancies himself an expert on crime (having produced it 52 times a year, through his radio screenplays) finds the timing of the loss of the damning letter and Tony’s reformation a bit too convenient … And he’s not wrong.
Indeed, having discovered the letter, Tony may be incensed about affair, but moreso the possibility of losing his meal ticket: and he has plans to keep himself well taken care of, while exacting his revenge. Contacting an old school chum who’s turned to petty crime, C.A, Swann (Mason Meskell), Tony reveals he’s not only been following him, but plans to blackmail him — if he doesn’t do away with Margot. Caught between a rock and a hard place, the enraged man has little choice but to agree.
Jesse Seann Atkinson was delightfully wicked as Tony: alternating between his aloof air and determined menace, sure that his devious plans will unfold as he intends, and adapting when events stymie said plans; Eduardo Mora’s Max was an earnest, if unlikely, heroic figure — initially willing to accept his love’s decision to make her marriage work, but prepared to be there should it not; Mason Meskell was alternately menacing and sympathetic, as a fallen friend unable to overcome his self-created circumstances; and Eric Nelson as Inspector Hubbard was a crafty and astute investigator, fully aware that things are not as they seem.
But it was Justine DeAngelo as Margot that the entire piece revolves around — as a woman torn between her heart and her head, in love with Max but wanting to give her childish husband one more chance to make right: vulnerable but determined, with a resolve to survive in circumstances beyond her control.
It was compelling show, with nuanced performances by an outstanding cast. Though you may have missed the final performances, there’s more great work waiting in the wings from WCP.
“Dial M For Murder.” Justine De Angelo, Jesse Seann Atkinson and Eduardo Mora stared in this tale of murder, blackmail and revenge. Recently finished its run at the Westminster Community Playhouse, 7272 Maple St, Westminster, CA 92683, ticketing information for upcoming shows available online at http://www.wctstage.org, or call (714) 893-8626.

Investors expect a delay to Britain’s exit from the EU following the crushing defeat of the prime minister’s Brexit deal, the Bank of England governor has said.
Mark Carney said the reaction of financial markets in the wake of the vote showed a degree of confidence that a no-deal Brexit was unlikely on 29 March. The pound bounced back against the dollar on Tuesday night amid optimism that article 50 would be prolonged and that the prospect of a disorderly severance from Brussels had receded.
Speaking to MPs on the Treasury select committee on Wednesday, the governor said investors were following developments in parliament closely to detect shifts in the direction of Brexit. The reaction of EU officials and governments across the continent was also being watched closely.
Carney said a “sharp rebound in sterling following the vote” was the main indicator that some investors believed Brexit could be delayed beyond the end of March.
His comments came as the prime minister, Theresa May, left the door open to extend the article 50 negotiation period, in an answer to the Tory MP Kenneth Clarke, who said that everyone he met on the doorstep wanted to stay inside the EU’s customs union.
May did not rule out delaying article 50 or ever joining a customs union permanently.
Peter Altmaier, a close ally of Angela Merkel in Germany’s government, said a request to extend article 50 would be given serious consideration. “When parliament needs more time, then this is something that will have to be considered by the European council, and personally I would see that as a reasonable request,” he told the BBC.
The pound fell below $1.27 after May lost the vote, but quickly recovered to hit $1.29. On Wednesday sterling settled around $1.28 and also remained steady against the euro at €1.13.
Carney insisted he was not giving his own opinion of how Brexit would develop. He was only citing the market’s initial take, and how it was expressed. The issue remained in the hands of parliament.
MPs asked the governor about the bank’s stress test scenarios, which included an assessment of a disorderly no-deal Brexit that would trigger an 8% collapse in GDP. Threadneedle Street has come under fire from Brexiters, who said the scenarios exaggerated the likely impact of a no-deal departure.
The Labour MP Catherine McKinnell asked how realistic it was to include an increase in interest rates to 4% in the worst-case scenario, when the more likely reaction of the bank would be to cut rates, as it did following the 2008 financial crash.
Carney said the increase was to preserve the ability of banks to lend in the midst of a crisis and to keep Britain attractive to international investors.
However, McKinnell said an increase in interest rates would likely harm the economy more than it would help the banks, hurting consumer confidence and fuelling rises in unemployment and home repossessions.

What would J.R.R. Tolkien say about Brexit?
J.R. R. Tolkien died in 1973, the year that the United Kingdom joined the European Economic Community which later evolved in the European Union. He did not have the chance to feel all the charm of his country being in the EU. However, we can arrange for an imaginary experiment to understand how and why one of the greatest Englishmen of the last century might feel towards the EU and the possibility of leaving it.
The mediævals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop.
Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.
If he was outraged by the bureaucracy of the Britain of his times, then you can imagine his reaction to Brussels with its ruling mechanisms and regulations.
A new Power is rising. Against it the old allies and policies will not avail us at all. This then is one choice before you. us before. We may join with that Power ... There is hope that way. Its victory is at hand; and there will be rich reward for those that aided it. As the Power grows, its proved friends will also grow; and the Wise, such as you and I, may with patience come at last to direct its courses, to control it. We can bide our time, we can keep our thoughts in our hearts, deploring maybe evils done by the way, but approving the high and ultimate purpose: Knowledge, Rule, Order; all the things that we have so far striven in vain to accomplish, hindered rather than helped by our weak or idle friends. There need not be, there would not be, any real change in our designs, only in our means.
If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, do not we consider it his duty to escape ?. . .If We value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!
The fundamentally similar heroic temper of ancient England and Scandinavia can not have been founded on (or perhaps rather, can not have generated) mythologies divergent on this essential point. 'The Northern Gods', Ker said,' have an exultant extravagance in their warfare which makes them more like Titans than Olympians; only they are on the right side, though it is not the side that wins. The winning side is Chaos and Unreason'-mythologically, the monsters-'but the gods, who are defeated, think that defeat no refutation. ' And in their war men are their chosen allies, able when heroic to share in this 'absolute resistance, perfect because without hope'.
…I love England (not Great Britain and certainly not the British Commonwealth (grr!))..
I have the greatest sympathy with Belgium - which is about the right size of any country! I wish my own were bounded still by the seas of the Tweed and the walls of Wales ... ("The Tolkien Family Album," (1992), page 69).
If J.R.R. Tolkien were alive today, he most certainly would have voted for Brexit. He knew the price of freedom and wanted another future for England rather than its manipulation and destruction by the bureaucratic machine of Brussel's liberal monster.

With the start of the new year, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the potential of the Sunshine community to support each other more effectively and set an example for the children about the positive potential of social relationships. Below is our wish list for the coming year to enable all of us to teach the children through our everyday choices how to be happy, positive, productive and supportive to each other.
Celebrate the everyday efforts and accomplishments of all of the children. We all benefit from each other’s talents as a community.
Let go of competitive perspectives toward each other. We do not want the children to perceive the world as a zero-sum game where one child’s win is another’s loss.
Help each other. Local trust-based relationships are essential for raising children and can be developed within classroom cohorts. Seek out each other for authorized pick-up lists, emergency contacts, weekend playdates and other endeavors.
Prioritize face-to-face conversations which allow for real-time sharing of feedback and the give-and-take necessary to work together on common goals.
Differentiate big problems from little problems. Email messages that start with “I know this is a small issue” but then go on for 3000 words of increasingly volatile complaint are confusing, time-consuming and ultimately unproductive toward the goal of supporting the children.
Share compliments and words of appreciation with each other and the children. Appreciation takes less time than complaint and has more long-lasting influence on relationships and behavior.
Let’s make 2018 the best year ever for ourselves and our children!

（英） Massive MIMO transmission, whose number of antennas is much larger than the number of user terminals, has been attracted much attention as one of key technologies in next-generation mobile communication system, because it enables improvement in service area and interference mitigation by simple signal processing. Multi-beam massive MIMO configuration has been proposed that utilizes the beam selection with high power in an analog part and blind algorithm such as constant modulus algorithm (CMA) which does not need channel state information (CSI) in a digital part. In the previous studies, narrow band signals are evaluated. In this paper, the performance of multibeam Massive MIMO transmission with the single carrier wideand signals is presented when considering an outdoor small cell environment using the ray tracing method.

We all like to believe our children are talented. But believing this fact alone is not sufficient. Instead, you need to make sure the child would be able to nurture this talent. That is because while many children have various talents they don’t develop them. Then with time children will lose them. Thus, as parents, it is your responsibility to help them develop these talents. But we understand that many parents don’t know what this entails.
If your child has a talent you need to provide them with the means to develop it. That is because if they don’t get an opportunity. They would remain suppressed. Then when the child is grown up it may be too late to develop them. Therefore that is why you should provide them with the necessary tools. In certain instance, these may be literal tools. That is because if your child has an affinity towards percussion instruments you should get them a drumming kit. This way they would be able to practice at home. Furthermore, if your child loves to sing you should enrol them in voice training Sydney.
When they have the necessary tools the sky would be the limit. However, you should not simply hand over your child to professionals and let them provide assistance. You can also create situations where they would be given the opportunity to present their talent. For instance, once a month you can let him put on a show for family members. This would then give the child to perform in front of a crowd. This would not only prevent them from being frightened. But they would also get used to performing.
If your child has joined private singing lessons they may have begun to practice at every moment they get. We understand that this can get annoying fast. That is because you don’t want to listen to the same song over and over again. You may even tell them to stop when it gets too much. But you should never discourage them from exploring their talents. If you feel they are getting too loud you can soundproof the basement. This way whenever they want to practice they can simply go to the basement. This way not only would you find it less irritating. But your child would feel as if you are actually supporting them. Furthermore, if your child wants to join a sports team you should let them. If you follow these tips you can provide your child with an environment that would allow them to develop their talents.
As adults, even we hate to work as full time without a break, so just think about your kids who has to go to school every day paying their attention to dozen of subjects and trying to get good grades. It’s not simple to work like that for too long even as a kid. This is why they are given annual holidays such as the summer break etc. it’s true that these vacations are to have a relaxation from all those hard studying they did for their exams and all. But as a parent, are you going let your child do nothing but stay at home, watching TV, playing video games and doing all the stupid things and fool around? Of course you wouldn’t want your child to waste the whole vacation like that. This is why you should encourage your kid to do something useful and effective in their vacation to begin with.
Well, if you are wondering what you should do to make the vacation benefit for your child, then there’s a lot of options you could have. You could enroll your kids in sports clubs where they could do a sport or some dancing class they love to take. However, if you want to increase the creativity of your kid, then you could let them join in holiday programs where they get to do their own colorful face masks, or pedicure foot spas just like they get to do when they attend kids pamper parties in Sydney. Because preparing your kid to be creative would definitely going to benefit him or her on their future, because maybe they would choose a career of an artist in the future or someone who is going to own a saloon etc. it will definitely help to create their future ahead.
Sometimes there are kids who would love to read books and doing studies even in their holidays. And also some of them would be in their rooms playing computer games or just sleeping the whole vacation, this should have to be stopped, as a parent, you have to encourage your kid to have a good time outdoors, let them play or spend time with their friends, because that’s the only way that can make them socially active despite being a loner who spend most of their time in their bedroom. As a solution, you could send your kid to a kid’s party entertainment to let him or her to spend some quality time with friends and realize him or her that there’s a bigger world out there than the studies and all. So in this way, you will be able to let your kid spend their vacation spend usefully and let them learn things that they don’t get to learn from studying at the school.

Musicians copyright their own productions in order to prevent such counterfeiting from occurring. Piracy is very common in this industry. So in order to prevent this, copyright your productions appropriately. Your music should touch the lives of people around the world. This is the goal of each music lover and composer. A song and video takes much effort from a team of individuals who dedicate their time and effort for it.
There is also music for ads which is very popular today. Advertisement are a form of digital media which takes products and services towards the customers. It should attract them in order to sell the related item. These follow different formats and need to be approved by the relevant organization in order to be publicized. A string of melodies really does make an impact to anything. It is beautiful to the ear and is a language that could be communicated with anyone. Such is the magic of this lovely form of art. Let it do well to the world.
There have been countless number of times that music has become so important and played a major role in life and the world all over. It is a language spoken during happy and sad times alike. It can capture any kind of feeling accurately. If you are in this field, you are absolutely talented and lucky. Get hold of the top producers and composers and get some good output from your talent combined with it. History has taken a twist several times for this subject. Let it actually have a lasting impact on you.
This is probably a question that has come across a lot of people when it comes to several things. From daily purchases of their clothing to buying something special like a gift or a card for a loved one. One need to realize that both are good options and both has its advantages over each other. It all depends on what kind impression or what kind of message are you trying to give by buying either of them.
Looking at machine made one could say the reason machine is preferred is because it faster and cheaper compared to hand made. It is cheaper due to the economics of scale as the machine can use little effort to make more. Thus little labor and more production are put in to the process of making the products. When machines make products, all the products look the same so there is no competitive advantage that this product is better than the other. It is a fair choice of reasons to opt for a machine made products for rose gold foil invitations.
Let us look at handmade products. If you look at the world today everything is of machine made so then handmade is automatically made special because it don’t always come handmade easily. Normally when it comes to hand made products their target is high end and put in great care to deliver the best product. Not all the products are identical because of different people involving in the product in it depends on the person skill set. The reason it could be expensive is because the focus that an individual needs to put in to make sure the product comes out perfect is immense that means the effort put in to making it a lot – from the design to the cutting of the material. This is where the real beauty of a handmade product comes out. For example let’s take engagement party invites. If you give them out as handmade and made naturally how beautiful do you think it would look. You imagination probably thinks of something nice.
This is because it has stamped itself in your mind that it will always be thoughtful and nice and that’s how everyone else would think. So next time when giving something and you want it to mean something make it handmade if you can’t afford it make something yourself. It can be anything from a birthday cards to a milestone baby cards.
Both have their advantages you see, one is cost cutting while the other is all about being styling and beautiful. Like I mentioned early it all depends what you want mean when given something to a friend.

On Tuesday, May 29, Governor Ralph Northam signed Del. Eileen Filler-Corn's (D-41) car seat safety bill, HB 708. This law will prohibit child restraint devices (car seats) from being forward-facing until, at least, the child reaches two years of age or until the child reaches the minimum weight limit for a forward-facing child restraint device as prescribed by the manufacturer of the device. The bill will also expand the reasons that a physician may determine when it is impractical for a child to use a rear-facing child restraint system due to the child's height.
HB 708 passed out of the House and Senate with bipartisan support. It has a delayed enactment date of July 1, 2019.

When in Cairo as a budget traveller, Meramees Hostel is the best place to stay! They eased all my anxieties about traveling alone to Egypt – from the minute I left the airport all the way to the minute I took off. They even had affordable planned itineraries out for easy trips in and out of Cairo. Everything was very clean and wifi was amazing! My stay couldn't be better but it was because of the staff (Migo, Ahmed, Youssef, Tallat and especially Ramy!) made Cairo unforgettable. Def recommend!
I thought this place had an amazing atmosphere the people are wonderful! Highly encourage anybody staying in Cairo to stay at the Meramees! It’s super cheap and you meet many new people and they are great at helping you fill your schedule with great places to go!
The location cannot be better, it’s a nice 10 mins walking to the Egyptian museum and there are many really cheap and tasty options around. The hostel is very clean and safe. I spent a total of 3 nights here, although initially I was only supposed to stay 1 night, I left my other hostel in Giza to come back here. The building is super quiet and the beds are really good, it’s the only place I got rest during my 10 day trip in Egypt. Also, the best breakfast I’ve had at a hostel. 10/10.
This hostel is very highly recommended. Rooms were very spacious and very clean. There were cleaners that always made sure the bathrooms/toilets and hallways were cleaned. The hostel also provided a good, sufficient breakfast every morning which was definitely a highlight. Staff were kind friendly and they would help you organise or plan trips just to make your trip to Egypt enjoyable and comfortable!
A spontaneous trip for my bday and was told about this hostel by a friend who has been here before. I was connected with the owner Ahmed before arrival and told him how long I was in Egypt. He had an airport pick-up for me waiting. Once I arrived at about 12AM, Ahmed greeted me personally and had an entire itinerary for Egypt ready with a fair price with tours that are must see. He even checked up on me throughout the trip. Ahmed got me a surprise bday gift too! Great staff that helped me a lot!
Amazing staff, really helpful and kind. Good location and breakfasts.
Friendly staffs, nice,big, clean room & bathroom. Stayed in Meramees for 3 nights. Good breakfast, great falafel :) - had breakfast once during our 3 night stay because of our 7:30 am schedule & their bf starts @ 8:30 am. Staffs are pushy to sell tours. Bought the arrival pick up service. Taxi condition was really poor. Read the reviews prior to coming to Cairo WIFI didn't work from room # 511 & 512 -- as many other reviewers reported. WE WILL STAY IN OTHER HOSTEL IN OUR NEXT VISIT.

Bronchial asthma is one of the most prevalent diseases in Arab children. Environmental pollution has been suggested to be considered causative of asthma, nasal symptoms and bronchitis in both children and adult. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the association between serum polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) levels, asthma and allergic outcomes among Saudi children aged up to 15 yrs. We hypothesized that increased serum PAHs are associated with allergy, asthma, or respiratory symptoms.
A total of 195 Saudi children (98 asthma pediatric patients and 97 healthy controls) were randomly selected from the Riyadh Cohort Study for inclusion. The diagnosis of Asthma was based on established pediatric diagnosis and medications taken.
Asthma related markers showed highly significant differences between children with and without asthma. Thus IgE, resistin and IL-4 were significantly increased (p 0.004, 0.001 and 0.003, respectively) in children with asthma compared with non-asthma control subjects. GMCSF, IFN-γ, IL-5, IL-8 and IL-10, on the other hand, were significantly decreased in children with asthma (p 0.003, 0.03, 0.001, 0.004 and 0.03, respectively). Strong associations between serum PAHs levels and biomarkers of childhood asthma were detected in Arabic children. Data confirmed the role of naphthalene, 4H-cyclobenta[def]phenanthrene, 1,2-benzanthracene, chrysene and benzo(e)acephenanthrylene in childhood asthma; levels of these PAHs were correlated with asthma related biomarkers including IgE, resistin, GMCSF and IFN-γ as well as IL-4, IL-5, IL-8 and IL-10 cytokines.
This data highlight the pivotal role of specific PAHs in childhood asthma.
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases, that is characterized by variable airflow obstruction, inflammation of the airways, and bronchial hyper responsiveness. It affects nearly 14 million people worldwide and more than 2 million Saudis [1, 2]. Asthma is the most frequent chronic illnesses in childhood [2–4]. It has an impact on patients, their families, and the community as a whole in terms of lost work and school days, poor quality of life and death cases . Several potential determinants being responsible for development of atopy and asthma have been proposed, including lack of severe and repeated infections [6, 7], obesity and lack of physical exercise , a small family size [9–11], changing dietary habits [12, 13] and increased indoor allergen exposure [14, 15].
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are produced during the incomplete combustion of organic material such as fuels, coal, wood, tobacco, and oil. Vehicle emissions are major sources of PAHs in urban areas [16, 17]. Blood and urine PAHs levels are proposed as specific biomarkers of PAHs exposure via inhalation of polluted air and intake of certain foods (e.g. charcoal broiled meats and other smoked foods) . Exposure to high levels of air pollutants has been associated with decreased lung function, asthma, nasal symptoms, bronchitis and sensitization to inhalant allergens in both children and adults [19–23]. These studies implicate traffic-related emissions, largely composed of diesel exhaust particles, trace metals, volatile organic com-pounds, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and PAHs in the development of respiratory symptoms, asthma or the onset of allergies. Studies have shown that exposure to PAHs be associated with adverse respiratory health outcomes. Previous data reported that exposure to PAHs such as benz(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, chrysene and dibenz(a,h)anthracene are associated with increased cough and wheeze at age 12 months, and breathing problems as well as development of asthma [24, 25]. Notably, PAHs exposure was suggested to favor proallergic immunoglobulin IgE responses. Recently, the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999–2000, 2001–02) provided comprehensive descriptions of reference ranges for a larger panel of PAHs metabolites collected from a population of children and adults without suspected occupational exposures [20, 22]. Higher levels were detected among children, suggesting that they may be at greater risk for adverse health effects. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the association between serum PAHs level with asthma among Saudi children up to 8 yrs. Our starting hypothesis being that increased serum PAHs are associated with allergy, asthma, or respiratory symptoms.
A total of 195 Saudis children aged 15 years old and below, (98 asthma pediatric patients and 97 healthy controls) were randomly selected from the Riyadh Cohort Study for inclusion. The parent or guardian of each child was asked to answer a questionnaire consisting of demographic information which included dietary questions, area of residence (near the factory, high-traffic area, etc.), presence of a smoker at home and other pertinent questions related to asthma. Asthma was based on established pediatric diagnosis and medications taken. Since most of the subjects were asymptomatic during the course of the study, parents were asked if the child had history of wheezing upon exhalation, frequent episodes of chest tightness and hyper-expansion of thorax with use of accessory muscles. Ethical approval was granted by the Ethics Committee of the College of Science Research Center, King Saud University, Riyadh, KSA.
Anthropometry included height (rounded off to the nearest 0.5 cm) and weight (rounded off to the nearest 0.1 kg), which were measured using an appropriate international standard scale (Digital Person Scale; ADAM Equipment, Milford, CT, USA), as well as waist and hip circumference in centimeters, which were measured using a standard tape measure; and body mass index (BMI) was calculated as kg/m2. The Holtain Khan abdominal caliper by Holtain Ltd (Crymych, UK) was used to measure sagital abdominal diameter (SAD).
Fasting blood was collected by an assigned physician at their respective primary healthcare centers. Blood was drawn, centrifuged and processed on the same day. Both whole blood and serum were placed in plain polystyrene tubes. Serum was delivered to Biomarker Research Program (BRP) for storage at −20°C. Fasting serum glucose levels, and complete lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein [HDL]-cholesterol) were determined using a biochemical analyzer (Konelab, Espoo, Finland). Low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol was calculated using Friedman formula. This biochemical analyzer was calibrated routinely prior to the analysis of all serum samples using quality control samples provided by the manufacturer (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, Espoo, Finland). LINCOplex, human multiplex immunoassay kit based on Luminex 100 system platform (Luminex Corporation, Austin, TX, USA) was used for determination of three different panels by simultaneous detection of a great variety of cytokines, interleukins and immunoglobulines. The standard protocol for the process was followed. The concentrations of analyte in each sample were calculated with a five parameter model using Luminex IS software ver. 2.3.
A stock solution of 12 PAHs mixed standard solutions was prepared by dissolving 1 mg from each PAH in 100 ml acetonitrile. The series of PAHs mix standard (0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 5, 10, 50 and 100 ng ml-1) were prepared in acetonitrile for linearity. Calibration curves were generated by plotting peak area versus concentration. Each subject’s sample was analyzed for a suite of 12 PAHs as previously described . Analytical determination was conducted by using liquid-liquid extraction followed by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD). Standard calibration curve was presented excellent linearity, with good separation and repeatability. The limit of detection (LOD) was defined as the higher value of either the method blank LOD (three times standard deviation of method blank after subtracting the average blank), or the instrument LOD (signal >3 times the signal to noise ratio). The limit of quantification (LOQ) (signal >10 times the signal to noise ratio). The limits of detection were ranged from 1.2 to 4.0 ng ml-1 (0.001 ppm). The lowest possible standard on the calibration curve was accepted as the LOQ. The calibration curve and recovery validation study were all repeated three times (n = 3). Recovery and precision were estimated by using spiked blank matrix, samples were analysed in duplicate at five levels spread equally over the analytical range. The recoveries were calculated from the analytical signal as the ratio between found and expected expressed in %. The rate of recovery for all 12 PAHs were ranged from 86 to 106%.
Data represented by mean ± standard deviation. Skewed data was either log or square root transformed. Non Gaussian variables were represented by median and inter quartile ranges. Two samples independent T–test was performed to compare control and asthma. Mann Whitney U test was performed to compare control and asthmatic, wherever variables don’t follow Gaussian distribution. P values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Pearson’s correlation test was performed to examine various correlations. Analyses were performed with the SPSS-PC software, version 16.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL).
The epidemiological characterization of the 195 Saudis children included in the study (98 asthma pediatric patients and 97 non-asthma control subjects) is provided in Table 1. All children were comparable regards to BMI, waist, SAD, total cholesterol, glucose, triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol.
Not surprisingly, asthma related biochemical markers showed highly significant differences between children with asthma and non-asthma control subjects. Thus, compared to non-asthma control subjects significant increase in level of IgE (123.1 ± 5.0 vs. 61.1 ± 4.3, p = 0.004), resistin (24.5 ± 1.6 vs. 17.3 ± 1.3, p = 0.001) and IL-4 (18.5 ± 3.6 vs. 9.2 ± 1.4, p = 0.003) pg ml-1. While there was significant decrease in levels of GMCSF (1.0 ± 0.11 vs. 1.9 ± 0.1, p = 0.003), IFN-γ (1.6 ± 0.63 vs. 2.4 ± 0.74, p = 0.03), IL-5 (0.52 ± 0.17 vs. 0.92 ± 0.2, p = 0.001), IL-8 (6.3 ± 1.2 vs. 12.4 ± 1.8, p = 0.004) and IL-10 (9.2 ± 1.4 vs. 12.1 ± 1.7, p = 0.03) pg ml-1.
Quantification of PAHs showed the presence of significant difference between children with asthma and non-asthma control subjects in levels of naphthalene (26.2 ± 2.5 vs. 10.7 ± 2.7, p 0.001), fluorene (3.6 ± 0.90 vs. 2.5 ± 0.75, p 0.04), 4H-cyclobenta[def]phenanthrene (20.3 ± 2.1 vs. 6.2 ± 1.1, p = 0.001), pyrene (1.1 ± 0.50 vs. 0.67 ± 0.34, p = 0.04), 1,2-benzanthracene (0.73 ± 0.36 vs. 0.37 ± 0.24, p = 0.01), chrysene (1.8 ± 0.13 vs. 0.87 ± 0.19, p = 0.001), benzoacephenanthrylene (7.0 ± 0.90 vs. 1.7 ± 0.23, p = 0.006) and benzo(a)pyrene (4.8 ± 0.93 vs. 2.1 ± 0.80, p = 0.02) ng ml-1. In contrast with these results, no differences were detected between the two groups in the levels of anthracene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene and benzo(e)pyrene.
To examine the role of PAHs in asthma, we analysed the association between PAHs and markers of asthma (Table 2). Our results clearly showed strong correlation between serum PAHs levels and asthma related biomarkers in Arab children. Thus, serum naphthalene was positively associated with IgE (r = 0.18, p = 0.03), IL-4 (r = 0.54, p =0.001) and resistin (r = 0.19, p = 0.02) and negatively associated with IL-5 (r = −0.18, p = 0.03). 4H-cyclobenta[def]phenanthrene was positively associated with IgE (r = 0.18, p = 0.03), IL-4 (r = 0.54, p = 0.001) and negatively associated with IL-10 (r = −0.23, p = 0.02). 1,2-benzanthracene was positively associated with IgE (r = 0.27, p = 0.006), resistin (r = 0.34, p =0.001) and negatively associated with IL-10 (r = −0.21, p = 0.03). Benzo(e)acephenanthrylene was positively associated with IL-4 (r = 0.45, p = 0.001), resistin (r = 0.28, p = 0.004) and negatively associated with IL-5 (r = −0.26, p = 0.009), IL-10 (r = −0.28, p = 0.005). Benzo(a)pyrene was positively associated with resistin (r = 0.37, p = 0.001) and negatively associated with IL-10 (r = −0.26, p = 0.009).

Our objectives were to analyze serum PAHs levels in children with asthma, establishing possible correlations between such levels and asthma-related biomarkers. Data herein show that different levels of PAHs are detected in asthmatic compared to non-asthma control subjects. PAHs levels were significantly increased in asthmatic individuals compared to non-asthma control subjects. Differences were observed in PAHs levels, depending on the individual PAH, but most commonly for naphthalene, 4H-cyclobenta[def]phenanthrene, 1,2-benzanthracene, chrysene, Benzo(e)acephenanthrylene. Previous studies considered naphthalene to be a more specific indicator of exposure to airborne PAH exposure [26, 27]. PAHs level detected are likely to reflect differences attributable to the ubiquitous traffic-related and other sources of air pollution in the urban environment of the studied cohort. These findings also could reflect differences in dietary intake . Regardless, they may be indicators of greater potential risk for the later development of PAH-associated diseases.
Mechanisms underlying the differences in PAHs levels may be multifactorial. These may be impacted by dietary preferences or lifestyle behaviors not measured in this study which might explain such changes. Additionally, genetic factors may impact on the metabolism of these compounds. Some of these possibilities have also been suggested by the NHANES report .
The present study showed positive associations between IgE and PAHs (naphthalene, 4H-cyclobenta[def]phenanthrene, 1,2-benzanthracene). The associations between PAHs levels and IgE levels reported in other studies indeed suggest that exposure to traffic-related air pollution results in an up-regulation of allergic immune responses [29–31]. In vitro studies have demonstrated that PAH-enhance IgE production via their effects on tensile B cells . Exposure to pyrene has been associated with up-regulation of the IL-4 promoter . In addition, different PAHs pyrene, benzo(a)-pyrene, anthracene, phenanthrene and fluoranthene has been shown to induce IgE production, T helper 2 cytokine productions in both rodent and studies highlighting the cellular impact of PAHs on metabolism and the immune response [34–36].
Our results show that serum PAHs level is correlated with multiple asthma related biomarkers in children. Results herein also support the importance of Naphthalene, 4H-cyclobenta[def]phenanthrene, 1,2-benzanthracene, Chrysene and Benzo(e)acephenanthrylene in childhood asthma and clearly indicate that the plasma concentration of these compounds correlate with asthma related biomarkers including IgE, resistin, GMCSF, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, IL-8 and IL-10.
