When Nathan Turner moved to Utah a few years ago from Pennsylvania, he imagined taking regular walks with his wife and two young sons under a clear, western sky. Then came the smoke. The air quality in Salt Lake City for the last few summers has been abysmal. In July, his 2-year-old son developed a cough so severe that Turner thought it was whooping cough. Now, he plans to move the family back to the East Coast by the end of the year. “Getting our kids away from that kind of pollution is really important,” he says.
The western United States used to be known for its big landscapes and blue skies. This summer, wildfires in British Columbia and California have blanketed the northwest in smoke for weeks on end, causing unhealthy air conditions in states as far away as Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah. The pollution has far exceeded levels deemed safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
For a few days in August, Washington state had the worst air quality conditions in the nation. Monitors on Cheeka Peak, in the northwest corner of the state, recorded 208 micrograms of soot per meter of air; anything over 36 micrograms is considered unsafe by the EPA. Atmospheric scientists called the reading “unprecedented.” In Salt Lake City, far from the epicenter of fires in the northwest, air quality degraded over the course of the summer, with readings as high as 90 micrograms in early September.
All this soot is making people sick. Wildfire smoke has been linked to rises in the rates of asthma, heart attack and stroke, according to a study published earlier this year in the Journal of the American Heart Association. For those with pre-existing heart conditions, the risk of heart attack increases more than 40 percent when the air is dense with smoke. Ellie Brownstein, a Salt Lake–area pediatrician, who herself has asthma, has recently been pulling out her inhaler every few hours. Typically, she says, she needs it only when she’s ill. She advises patients with asthma to run their air conditioning constantly in their homes to prevent symptoms.
In the western U.S., wildfire smoke is now the single largest source of summertime pollution, according to Dan Jaffe, a professor of environmental chemistry at University of Washington Bothell. The health risks are lending urgency to calls for better management of forests. Current fire-prevention practices, which focus on avoiding wildfires altogether, have allowed undergrowth to build up, priming the landscape for massive, long-lasting fires that generate far more smoke than should occur naturally. If forest managers introduced smaller, more episodic fires, they might be able to prevent some of the big conflagrations.

Author of "When I Pray for You"
(Matthew Paul Turners' "When I Pray For You"
When I Pray for You?
My kids have inspired every picture book I've written so far, but none more than this one. As a person of faith, I knew parenthood would include lots of praying; but I'm not sure I realized how often I'd pray, oftentimes without my kids ever knowing I'd prayed. In many ways, praying is a bit like breathing, a consistent conscious and subconscious longing of hope on behalf of my kids. I think prayers over my kids numerous times throughout the day and my hope is that When I Pray For You will capture the simplicity and passion of that reality.
My hope is that this book will offer kids a tangible celebration of prayer, how it looks when you're not gathered around a dinner table or outside of a house of worship. Regardless if one is engaged in faith or not, I think parenting is just one of those realities that makes many of us pray, even if those prayers manifest as wishes, hopes, wonders, or dreams. I think this book gives kids a glimpse at their parents' love and passion for them, their well-being, and their futures.
How has praying for your kids affected you?
For me, praying over my kids is healing, redeeming, and brings peace to my sometimes anxious heart.
How have people responded to your previous children�s books?
I'm so humbled, grateful, and at times, blown away, by the response to my children's books. So many parents, grandparents, pastors, chaplains, counselors, and teachers have written me messages, many of them offering a story or two about how my books have impacted their families, loved ones, congregations, and classrooms.
It's been a sincere joy to hear all of the ways these books have brought love and light into people's lives.
How have you found reading to your kids to be helpful for them? How has it enhanced your relationship with them?
I love reading with my kids. It's such a rich and rewarding time for them and for me, too. Books can get us to laugh out loud or discuss interesting topics or lead us into heartfelt chats about God or diversity or being kind. Books are such powerful tools because they help talk about things that many of us parents wouldn't know how to discuss or might feel awkward just bringing them up. But with a book, it opens the door to chat about serious and nonsensical subjects, discussions that help me shape and/or influence their hearts and minds to think about important ideas.
How would you encourage the parents who really don't want to read to their kids?
Reading to our kids is crucial because it helps shape their love for books early on. And while I know it's important, it can also be hard sometimes - especially when it's been a long day and you're tired. But it's so important, so we try to make it a priority. I think the best advice would be to choose short, easy-to-read books or books that you loved as a child. Start there. And see where it goes.
One of my favorite moments as a parent is when I learn that my kids love the same things as I love. But it's helpful to get into a regular routine with books. Start the bedtime process 15 minutes earlier, so you can dedicate that extra time with a book before bedtime. Moreover, if there's ever a topic that you feel your child is curious about and you're not sure how to bring it up - use a book to bring that subject up with them. You'll find that the best chats with your kids happen after sharing a book with them.
"An exclusive design, one God refined, you're a perfectly crafted one of a kind." Celebrating the individuality of each person, rhyming text and vibrant illustrations affirm that every child is loved by God---and should be valued for his or her unique gifts, traits, and characteristics. Ages 3 to 7.
Help children experience God's creation! Pairing imaginative illustrations with lyrical verse, this charming book explores how God's light chases away the shadows and provides the wonder of stargazing and firefly chasing. Most of all, kids will learn about the spark inside them that God will use to change the world.

The information technology services industry in Brazil grew by 8.7% in the 12-month period between July 2013 and June 2014, according to a study by IDC. A growing corporate interest in atomization and the expanding number of R&D centers to support offshore oil exploration projects were the chief drivers of growth.
“Considering inflation and the current economic instability in the country, this is a phenomenal performance,” said the research firm’s senior analyst Renato Rosa.
The report confirms that there is a growing awareness in the Brazilian corporate world about staying agile. Many corporate firms anticipating a lengthy winter holiday season invested heavily in information technology to automate their business operations.
The demand for technology service is not pushing up the prices of hardware or IT services; instead suppliers are under tremendous pressure to reduce prices. The rising value of the U.S. dollar, analysts say, could be hurting the profitability of some tech dealers who import most of their products from North America.
The latest trend, according to IDC, is that businesses in health care and agriculture are showing a renewed interest in investing in IT services.
The analysts firm says the market could grow at a faster pace still in the months ahead now that the presidential election is over. “After a period of political uncertainty, we believe that [Brazil] will have a very promising period ahead,” Rosa said.
Thanks to the discovery of offshore oil deposits, several top technology service providers aligned with petroleum firms –– such as Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, Halliburton, Siemens and EMC –– are planning to setting up R&D centers in Brazil.
As recently as two weeks ago, General Electric launched an oil & gas research center on the Ilha do Bom Jesus peninsula near the city of Rio de Janeiro. BG Group is also planning to open a global technology center to reinforce its research base in Brazil.
Analysts say the sudden surge in the number of R&D service centers could also be contributing to the demand for IT services.

I took this picture in Central Park a few years ago.
I love fall! It’s one of my favorite seasons (the other being spring), and I love the change that is in the air when fall rolls around: the crispness, the wind, and the sense of adventure that surrounds me. I also love fall baking and the scents of cinnamon and nutmeg in the air. Pumpkin everything, fresh cookies, pies, bread, yumm!
Here are some Fabulous Fall Reads that I think of around this time of the year, starting off with my number one fall read, a book series that always makes me think of fall.
Another book series that screams fall to me is the Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery. From the way Montgomery writes about scenery, to the changing of seasons in Avonlea, to reading Anne’s adventures living across from a graveyard, and for goodness sake, one of the entries is even called Anne of Windy Poplars. All the seasons get fair treatment here, but there’s something about Anne that calls to mind crisp, cool air and the changing colors of the leaves.
Another book with amazing fall atmosphere is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I’ve read this book several times, and each time I’m taken in by the setting and detail of the circus. I chose this for my book club a few years ago, and we had a great time! I made some caramel apples, we dressed up in black with red scarves, and my mom went all out with the decorations and even made some chocolate mice! This is definitely a good book to theme a party around.
Another book featuring a red, white, and black theme is Heartless by Marissa Meyer. This one is the origin story for the Queen of Hearts from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. One year I dressed up as Alice for Halloween, so anything Alice-related feels like fall to me. The characters of The Three Sisters were super creepy and atmospheric, and also, Cath, our main character loves to bake, and fall always gets me in the mood to bake!
And speaking of creepy, one of the creepiest books I’ve ever read is Mudwoman by Joyce Carol Oates. I mean, c’mon, just LOOK at that cover! Eeeeek! While this wasn’t necessarily a scary book, there was a quiet uneasiness to it that just made oh-so-very creepy and a perfect fall read.
And another book with creepy atmosphere is the beautiful masterpiece Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. This is one of those books that begs to be read during the first big rain storm of the season, with the wind howling away and leaves fluttering down from the trees.
So there you have it, my list of Fabulous Fall Reads! Have you read any of these books? What books make you think of fall? What is your favorite fall baking recipe?
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier is a Classic, Jamaica inn was a practice piece revision for my English GCSE exam.
Oh my word yes, Harry Potter are the ultimate books to read during autumn and winter. I have an annual read of Harry Potter (book one) in the lead up to Christmas day, which strangely really gets me in the Christmas spirit!
Harry Potter series really is perfect for fall, isn’t it? And I LOVE Rebecca! Also such a creepy, unsettling read no matter how many times you read it!
HP is such a perfect series for fall! It’s one of my favorites!
There’s just something so wonderfully delicious about the atmosphere of Rebecca. So much suspense in that book!
I used to read JCO often, but her books became too unsettling for me, even though I am a fan of the horror genre. I’ll look this book up on Goodreads to see if I should try her again.
And I’m not really a horror fan at all, but Mudwoman was very unsettling. You’re never completely sure what is really going on, so it’s one of those thoughtful suspense books!
OMG The Night Circus is such a great choice for fall!! And that book club sounds SO COOL!
It was such a fun meeting and discussion! We all got really into the food and the setting. The book has a very fall vibe to it. Such a wonderful read!
I also love Spring and Autumn the most- I just love that feeling of change 😀 HP is great for autumn! And yes to Rebecca being perfectly atmosphere and Night Circus! Very intrigued by Mudwoman. Great list!!
Thanks! I just adore that change that is in the air in spring & fall 🙂 I need to do some re-reads of these books!
Thanks! I just love fall! 🙂 It’s so atmospheric!
Fabulous list. I have only read the last two HP books from this, but the rest all look promising.
I have The Night Circus and Rebecca on my TBR and have never actually read Anne… I know, I know, but I want to!
P.S.: I don't have any Fall recipes at the moment but I will definitely have to look them up. Anything with cinnamon, apple and pumpkin – never fails. Also, I love how my entire house smells after baking!
Love fall baking and fall flavors – they are so wonderful and cheerful!
Ooooh Mudwoman sounds fun!!! I am going to look into this right now. Great list! I agree with basically all of them!
Thank you! 🙂 Fall is such a wonderful season!
Thank you! I visited Cavendish and saw a Anne of Green Gables the musicial in PEI, I love Anne! A book that feels like fall to me is Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, because even though Christopher McCandles dies in August, it is the changing seasons in Alaska that ultimately lead to his demise.
Yeah, I see how Into the Wild can feel like fall. I don’t think I’ve actually read that book, but I’ve seen the movie and I remember the colors and scenery of beautiful Alaska!

To the editor:Saddam Hussein personified the old dictum, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Since Saddam was responsible for the deaths of more Muslims than any other modern person, I was surprised and perplexed by the outrage expressed by many other Middle Eastern Muslims at how he died. I could not care less about the respect, or lack thereof, shown this mass murderer.
To me this is analogous to an improbable and fictitious scenario in which the Jewish people would protest the way we killed Hitler.
My wife's uncle, a World War II pilot, who was shot down behind enemy lines on D-Day and is still living, had a sign on his desk that said, "Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out."

Well here we are in July and embarking on the second half of the year. Can you believe it? Where did the first half of 2016 go?
In Britain, we’re also a third of the way through Summer. This year we’re yet to hit the sweltering heights of last year’s temperatures but we have had a goodly swathe of low to mid twenties days (that’s in Celsius of course) which have been the perfect excuse for lunches in the park and lolling about on the patio.
But over the last few weeks, the weather has become somewhat schizophrenic – full of yoyo-ing temperatures and dry days fractured in the blink of an eye with intense, heavy downpours. Just this morning, I wandered over to Homebase in the warmer-than-expected sunshine (I was thinking that I may have over-egged my outfit) only to emerge 15 minutes later to big fat drops of teeming rain (and feeling smug grateful that I had my umbrella). Five minutes on, the sun had emerged again. And it was a repeat affair this afternoon. I was ready for it though and dashed outside in time to rescue the washing.
There is something about this rain that reminds me of living in Melbourne. It’s mercurial and torrential and insistent. There’s no polite drizzle but rather a spate of sudden downpours that overflow drains and splash up from the pavement to dampen bare legs and trouser hems. And there’s that peculiar, distinctly rainy smell just as the heavens open that lingers a little once it’s over.
Yesterday was the first of the month and therefore time to turn to a new page on my wall calendar. It – the calendar I mean – was a Christmas present from Mum (& Co) and contains a series of black and white images taken by Aussie photographer Matt Irwin. His pictures capture the Melbourne beyond the postcards – they celebrate her moodiness, her light and her spirit. With the gentle touch of his camera lens, he shows me the Melbourne I love.
July’s page shows a couple huddled beneath the curves of their umbrella as they stroll past the National Gallery on St Kilda Road, the wet pavement glistening beneath their feet.
It’s Melbourne, shining on a rainy night. It was perfect, I thought.

The Hy-Tex GeoMat™ range of three dimensional, synthetic, cuspated erosion control geomats are used to provide permanent reinforcement to the grass root matrix for permanent surface erosion protection.
Hy-Tex GeoMats™ are the ideal solution where vegetation requires permanent assistance protecting the ground from weather and water erosion.
The dense fused strands imitate the role of a root matrix - binding and trapping soil particles, as well as fertile humus, and reinforcing the soil.
Hy-Tex GeoMats™ provide stable conditions for rapid development of vegetation.
The filaments also offer long term support to the developing plant root matrix, assisting them to resist undermining by harsh erosion forces.
Hy-Tex GeoMats™ are recommended on sites were established vegetation alone is unable to resist erosion. Such locations can include riverbanks, drainage channels and steep slopes.
They are made from extruded polypropylene monofilaments or stitched nets to provide effective soil reinforcement.

Incentives yield positive results for young Grand Rapids film co.
Even in the post-film-incentive Michigan, Dot&Cross is a different kind of business.
While other film-production companies are narrowing their range and fine tuning their specialization to become the best Flash animators or offer the best post-production editing, Dot&Cross is widening its scope. The Grand Rapids company wants to nurture projects from the infancy stage and sculpt them all the way through a final product. It considers its forte so-called integrated media.
"What we lovingly call 'integrated media' are things that combine all of the different kinds of mediums," said Santino Stoner, a development partner at Dot&Cross. "From film to print to Web ..., for cohesive integration, for projects that have a positive cultural impact."
Resist the temptation to call this business model idealistic. Several clients are worldwide moneymakers looking to take advantage of this part-film, part-problem-solving vision.
Steelcase Inc. Another project was the development of several self-help books into multimedia campaigns, including one for New York Times best-selling author and frequent Oprah correspondent Marcus Buckingham's "The Truth About You".
Dot&Cross was started by four partners, two of whom are Michigan natives, who were no strangers to the challenges and frustrations of the film industry.
"We've been working together on different projects for the better part of a decade," said Stoner, who was born in Grand Rapids.
The group collectively decided they would form their own company and take on the projects they deemed as worthy causes to promote.
"We've all worked with a wide range of companies in the past, and these are the projects that get us up in the morning," Development Partner David Wenzel said.
"There's plenty of work out there with a lot of money behind it that isn't really moving the needle, that isn't really doing anything.
"There's a far fewer number of people who are willing to say, 'We're going to dedicate our business to really changing things.'"
By taking on more of a role in crafting each of its projects, they subsequently invest more resources with each project.
"It includes the creation of the entity, scripting, creative direction and crafting relationships with publishers, studios," Wenzel said. "All that stuff happens before we even pick up the camera."
As a result of the increase in demands for each project, Dot&Cross will occasionally contract out different aspects of production to manage the project as a whole.
"What is so important is that the context and the content, the medium and message come together and there's a synergy that happens there," Stoner said. "We try to inject something that will be fresh, because it's that freshness and that style that allows for that memorable experience."
Dot&Cross opened for business in April -- one month after the state's film-incentive legislation took effect. While the incentives are crucial in the startup of companies like Dot&Cross, there were many other factors behind the decision to stay in Michigan, said Michigan native Brett VanTil, managing partner.
The state's diverse landscapes, talent pool and reasonable cost of living all played a part in the decision to set up in Grand Rapids, VanTil said.
"The incentives make you think about some options that just weren't really there" before, he said. "It throws another positive onto the equation to make business models that weren't maybe possible before."

Go figure. I was simultaneously shocked and proud to read this article in the October Issue of Fast Company. It's fantastic to see stories like this being told! It's both great for Grand Rapids, but also smaller mid-west cities who are doing their part to move city architecture and energy consumption in line with the green movement. Check out the article! Even better, they reference Peter Wege and Steelcase's initiatives which ties directly to one a film projects we did with Steelcase which you can check out here.

On behalf of Rodger Daley of Law Offices of Rodger C. Daley posted in Divorce on Friday, June 20, 2014.
During and after divorce, it is important to be alert to the risk that your ex could be using technology to invade your privacy. Not only is spying creepy and potentially illegal, but depending on the circumstances it could may affect the outcome of divorce-related issues such as child custody, property division or spousal support. In some situations, it can even be dangerous.
One of the most common ways that ex-partners spy on one another after a divorce is through online accounts. In some cases, this may involve hacking into the other person’s account and reading their personal correspondence, or even impersonating the other person while interacting with other people online.
Even without your login information, social media sites like Twitter and Facebook are obvious destinations for an ex hoping for an inside scoop. Even if you block your ex and set your profile to private, be careful what you post on these sites and do not assume that you are safe from prying eyes.
In Colorado and other states with toll roads, even your express pass can be a gateway to snooping by an unscrupulous ex. By logging into your account online, he or she may gain access to the digital paper trail created by your toll payments and use them to track your movements.
An even more invasive step that some people take to keep tabs on the whereabouts of a spouse, partner or ex is to secretly place a GPS tracker in the person’s vehicle, purse or backpack. These devices are often very small, making them easy to plant and hard to detect.
Similarly, electronic spyware can be used to track a person’s online activities by recording their keystrokes and sending the information to a third party. Like GPS tracking, spyware creates a very high level of privacy invasion and can be an especially major concern in situations involving domestic violence.

At Fox Marble, we believe every piece of stone has a story to tell. A history that may span millions of years. A natural sense of geology, of geography, and of course a sense of place. That’s why we hand-select stone directly from quarries throughout the world.
In many cases we have direct relationships with the people who manage the quarry. And it’s that direct connection to the stone’s origin and heritage that allows us to maintain quality control through every step of the process.
But it also lets us offer something even deeper, the feeling that comes from owning something truly unique, completely natural, stunningly beautiful, and endlessly fascinating.

My teaching philosophy has been influenced by some of my excellent instructors in the Army and SCC’s Electronics program. An important concept is that of using hands-on exercises and projects to evaluate, apply and develop information delivered in the lecture section of a class. I also include workbooks that students use for note taking, reference and recording results and conclusions from the hands-on sections. I design the portable trainer consoles for the classes to realistically represent actual equipment that technicians will encounter in their jobs.
I wanted to teach at SCC because of its excellent reputation and the way courses are delivered to emphasize practical uses of knowledge. The Continuing Education classes allow me to interface with people already employed in industry who choose to upgrade their skills and improve themselves.
What can prospective students expect when they enroll in your classes?
Students enrolling in one of my classes will find an informal atmosphere where pertinent background information, practical application and challenges are presented. I try to be supportive and encouraging.
I bring past work experience as an electronic technician and controls engineer to the classroom to add interest and validity to the presentations. Because I continue to work in industry, it helps to keep me abreast of changes and trends. It also helps me to know what areas of study are most important. When I am called to design or repair something, I reflect on the skills needed to complete the job and make mental notes to adjust course content to include them.
The Electronics/Electromechanical field is a challenging one, with many rewards. Besides learning technical information in a classroom setting, a technician should be prepared to continue learning throughout their career. Some of the equipment that I teach about now was not on the market when I graduated, so I have needed to continue learning through various means. To excel in this field, one needs to take advantage of classes, seminars, trade magazines, manuals, etc. in order to constantly and consistently upgrade skills.
I enjoy hearing about the various job and background experiences students bring to classes. Sharing those experiences enhances learning for everyone.
One of the best parts of being involved with SCC over the years is being part of a college that enjoys such a great reputation and has such dedicated, high-achieving instructors and employees. I have also enjoyed freedom and flexibility through the Continuing Education Division that has allowed me to develop new courses and promote them to industry.
My proudest moments as instructor have been watching the development of certain students with low entry skills succeed in class through their own initiative.
When not teaching I enjoy helping my Aden Engineering customers with their design, build or repair needs for electronic controls. In more than 29 years, a lot of great relationships have developed. I do home projects and do-it-yourself activities on our acreage and enjoy teaching an adult Sunday morning Bible study at our church.

Hoping a cyber breach won’t happen isn’t good policy. Insuring against out of pocket costs is.
Think Cybercrime Only Strikes Big Companies? Think Again.
While big companies are typically equipped to handle a cybercrime event, small and medium-sized companies usually are not, making them an even more desirable target.
Hoping it Won't Happen Isn't the Best Risk-Mitigation Strategy.
But here’s the most surprising stat: nearly 90% of small and medium-sized businesses in the U.S. don’t use data protection for company and customer information, and less than half have secure company email processes to prevent phishing scams.3 What’s more, many businesses simply assume their business owner’s policy (BOP) covers them.
As companies adopt more digital technologies, cybercrime will become even more pervasive. But a cyber liability insurance policy from UPS Capital Insurance Agency, Inc. can help you mitigate your risk, giving you one less thing to worry about.
Voluntary notification to customers, even if not required by law.
Coverage for insured’s websites, social media, and other digital mediums.
Vetted vendors who can manage the complexities of a breach.

The Dorset AONB Partnership has been leading a Community Woodland Network for the past two years, linking likeminded groups in West Dorset. Prime Coppice was one of the founding members of the network. They have held a number of events, both at a national and local level and provided opportunities for different interest groups to get involved in the wood. The owners, Dr Ruth Fuller and Kit Vaughan have also given their time freely to inspire other community groups to take the next steps. During 2015, Dorset AONB Partnership has funded some of the more significant forestry work at Prime Coppice, which was holding up management of the site. This has allowed them to develop their offer to the wider community and they now run regular volunteer work parties where people get actively involved in woodland management. In return, the volunteers are rewarded with local, sustainable wood fuel.
With the support of the Dorset AONB Partnership, Ruth and Kit are showing that sustainably managed woodlands can provide social, economic and ecological benefits to the local community and become a hub for learning, networking and communicating about sustainable management. This journey began in 2011 with the purchase by Ruth and Kit of Prime Coppice. In 2012, they successfully applied for a grant from the Dorset AONB Sustainable Development Fund, which enabled them to improve the infrastructure within Prime Coppice so that they could accommodate visitors and better share their experiences. Since then Dorset AONB Partnership and Ruth and Kit have collaborated on a number of joint initiatives, including the Cabinet Office’s ‘Community Energy Peer Mentoring’ programme and the Big Lottery’s ‘Communities Living sustainably in Dorset’ project, that has enabled delivery of sustainable woodland management, learning and connection with nature and sharing and connecting with people.
Sustainable Woodland Management: Ruth and Kit have put into practice sustainable woodland management. They are restoring coppice areas, thinning unmanaged areas, improving the ride and path network, expanding glades and open areas, managing the woodland edge for biodiversity, restoring woodland ponds and wet areas and increasing the structural diversity in the wood. They are using sympathetic management practices such as horse extraction of timber, brushwood piles and ‘layering’ coppice to expand the density of the hazel coppice. They have also fenced areas to ensure protection from deer. They are working with skilled local woodsman as well as volunteers and trainees, thereby providing employment, training opportunities and experience for different groups of people. It is hoped that Prime Coppice can also become a model for other small woodlands in Dorset, demonstrating the value that accumulates from getting woodlands working again.
Learning and connecting with nature: With the support from the Dorset AONB Partnership, Prime Coppice has held a number of training events and courses, including: green woodwork skills, sustainable fuel wood production, coppicing, working woodlands with horses and climate resilient woodlands. Opportunities have been provided for different groups to get involved in the wood, from people attending courses and events, to volunteers learning hands on skills, to mother and baby groups keen to get outside with their babies and toddlers.
Sharing and connecting with people: Prime Coppice is an ideal venue for people who are interested in woodland issues to come together to network, learn and share, as demonstrated by the use of the outdoor classroom as a venue for a wide variety of talks and activities, including team building days and talks on firewood and climate change.
Being part of the Community Woodland Network, and other initiatives supported by the Dorset AONB Partnership, has been particularly valuable in terms of learning and developing new skills. Through study visits and exchanges with other woodlands, Ruth and Kit have been able to validate their approach at Prime Coppice. Given that they are relatively new to woodland ownership and community projects, it was invaluable to share experiences and get the input of others, learning about a range of issues including managing and supporting community groups; how to run an economically viable woodland business in a sensitive woodland site; balancing social, environmental and economic objectives in woodland management; policy frameworks for woodlands; machinery, harvesting and extraction options; and business diversification options. Through collaboration with Dorset AONB Partnership, it has enabled learning to feed into local and national policy and planning processes, as well as a range of local and national stakeholders, including community groups, wildlife trusts and local councils. Through collaborative communications, Prime Coppice hopes to be part of the movement trying to reshape public and policy attitudes towards nature. Communicating the value of nature and scaling up the learning from Prime Coppice is therefore a key part of the vision for the project. The Dorset AONB Partnership’s role has been primarily a facilitator, bringing together Prime Coppice with other community woodlands and sharing experiences. The key message from this approach is that it needs little resource, but provides significant benefit to the community woodlands in terms of validation of their approach.

CPD (continuing professional development) can help you to reflect, review and document your learning so that you can develop, update and broaden your knowledge and skills.
Public health is a made up of a multi-disciplinary workforce, with a broad knowledge and skills mix, increasingly working across multi-organisation teams.
While it is important that individuals continue to maintain and develop their areas of specialism, there is also a need to build on core generic public health skills that are transferrable across all areas of work.
As a general rule, formal CPD is about training, and learning how to do something specific relating to skill and competence. Examples of this might include training on a new vaccine, or using a data analysis programme.
Informal CPD focuses more on development, and has a wider application that encourages a broader perspective and transferrable skills. It gives you the tools to do a range of things relating to capability and competency, and often involves progression from a basic level of knowledge to a more advanced understanding of an issue. Examples of this might include leadership or managing organisational change.

I have been engaged in a conversation on the Harvard Business Review website that was sparked by the question, “Interested in opinions—is a leader a role or a mindset?” The question was posed by Joan Kofodimos, a partner at Teleos Consulting in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.
For more than a decade, my writing and teaching has been focused on clarifying the concepts of leading, leader, and leadership. Barbara Kellerman has noted in her book, The End of Leadership, that there are 44 (and I would suggest more) theories of leadership and more than 1,500 definitions in the literature. We might conclude that, if this is the case, the study of leadership is fragmented and hardly worthy to be considered a field of study. An alternative interpretation is that the field is alive and well and has failed to find a path to integration. I would suggest the latter.
In their book, A Quest for a General Theory of Leadership, authors George R. Goethals and Georgia L.J. Sorenson noted that a two-plus year, multidisciplinary attempt at formulating a general theory of leadership failed in its mission despite the participation of a couple of dozen scholars. The process they used was for each of these scholars to present their theory of leadership and have them, as a group, find a framework that would include all of their theories. It didn’t work. I asked Sorenson about this at an International Leadership Association conference and suggested that if would be better if they had worked together to build a meta-theory that would embrace all of the discipline-based theories. She said that she and one other participant had argued for this approach, but were not supported.
All of us have meta-theories—or theories of theories—where we have a more or less coherent framework for fitting diverse perspectives together. Either we have a meta-theory that is both/and related or either/or based. I argue for both/and because I agree with something Ken Wilber has said: “No one is smart enough to be wrong all of the time.” I take this to mean that we are looking for the right path to our understanding and we are all learning that it is the one where we find the value added in all theoretical and methodological approaches within an integrative framework.
What is your integrative framework? Will it allow for mindsets, roles and much, much more?

SALSEROS-LA TEAM, bringing the community together through the love of Latin dance and music.
Salsa and Bachata dance classes, Events, Social dancing, Live bands and much more, serving the Los Angeles area, San Fernando Valley, and Ventura county.
Jos3 Hernandez began his life on the small island of Cozumel Quintanaroo, Mexico. Soon thereafter his family moved to Acapulco where at the age of four he started dancing and performing in a production called the el baile de la iguana. From there he progressed to classic Mexican folklore dancing and competed on a state level. Jos3’s love of the stage took him into acting, and he performed and acted in many productions throughout his school years along with playing the guitar in his own rock band.
After moving to the US he began to train with some of the best salsa champions in the Los Angeles area. His talent was immediately recognized and after dancing salsa for only 6 months and he was asked to join and perform in some of the best LA salsa dance teams. He went on to win first prize in a prestigious salsa event in Palm Springs.
Jos3 loves to teach salsa as much as he loves to perform. His students respect and admire his ability to infuse them with his passion for the salsa. It has been said that he not only teaches them the necessary techniques, but also helps them get in touch with the energy of the dance so that they too can allow the music to speak through them.
Having been formally educated as an Electromechanical Engineer and Graphic designer he uses his artistic talents and professional skill to express himself through the dance of salsa.
Creativity can be expressed in many ways, and while Jenn does a lot of that during the week in the Salon, she finds the same enjoyment in the creative aspects of Salsa Dancing.

As someone once said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” Facebook recognizes the importance of music to the Facebook community with the latest feature to be introduced to Facebook, Listen with Friends.
Ever had those moments where you found a great song off the web and couldn’t wait to share it with your friends? Facebook has certainly made that a whole lot easier.
Well, what does it do? Users familiar with turntable.fm should not be a stranger to the new feature; it allows Facebook users to listen to the same music, at the exact same position with a group of friends. That also means that one of them could play the DJ while the group chat and listen to the songs through the Facebook chat bar.
The feature is currently only available for people who use music services as Rdio and Spotify. Facebook explains that the service has at the moment some restrictions. “Only the people you’ve shared your listening activity with can see when you’re listening with a friend,” as it is explained on the official Help Center post.
The response to this new feature has been lukewarm so far. While some have been excited to try it out, others have also called Facebook out for copying Google and turntable.fm. That is a rather unfair conclusion I believe, and if Facebook does it better, why not? Turntable.fm is only available to those in the US and face it or not, Facebook is the place to be right now and that doesn’t seem to be changing any time soon with Facebook’s enthusiasm in updating its features.

There’s no doubt that we all love a good beach vacay. The swaying palm trees, sand between our toes, waves crashing on the shore and the salty-air breeze make us want (need) to keep going back for more, every chance we get! However, all good things in paradise come with a price. Since we’d rather not let price stop us from lounging on our favorite white sand beaches, we’re sharing our 6 best tips on planning a budget-friendly beach vacay.
The first, and most important, step to planning a budget-friendly vacation is (of course) starting with a budget. When you don’t set a budget from the beginning, you risk spending way more than you should be! If you want to start planning but don’t know what your budget is, we suggest holding off until you do. Once you have a number set in stone, divide up the costs and designate how much you want to spend on accommodations, flights, excursions, food and anything else you might want to plan for!
Every beach destination has a high and low season. When planning your trip, it’s important to figure out when that peak season ends so you can score some of the best deals on resorts and airline tickets! Once you know which destination you want to jet off to, do some quick research on when is the best time to travel there and when their holidays are to avoid overspending.
Airline prices are constantly changing, so they can be a little tough to keep up with! The key to scoring the best airline deals is to turn their price alerts on. Whether you want to track prices for a certain airline or multiple, via Google Flights or the Hopper app, you can get notifications of price drops to your chosen destination right to your phone or email. It’s that easy!
Let’s face it, some beach destinations will always be pricey–no matter what seasons it is! But, if you’re craving the ultimate beach vacation to get away from the office or classroom, try to searching for destinations that aren’t as popular to the crowds. They’re just as stunning and relaxing, without the crowds and expensive accommodations!
For those who love to plan, creating an itinerary should be a given when planning a budget-friendly beach vacay! One of the best ways to avoid overspending on vacation is to plan out all of your activities and how much they will cost, so there are no last minute surprises.
Sometimes the next best thing to traveling on a budget is to gather a fun group of friends or family to split costs with. If you have a big enough group, you can usually get some awesome group rates on resort rooms and airline tickets.
Does all this money-saving and travel talk make you want to start planning your next Caribbean getaway? You’re not alone! Here are some of our favorite budget-friendly resorts in the Caribbean to jet off to next! Check out some of our fave beachwear under $25 to take with you, too!
I love to travels. It will help me to enjoy more. Thanks for this budget ideas.

Chico, the most populous city in Butte County, California, population 86,103 (2010), lies 90 miles north of Sacramento in the fertile Sacramento River Valley. It is home to Chico State University and Bidwell Park, one of the largest municipally-owned parks in the US and occupying 17 percent of the City’s total land area. The City has observed a “green line” separating the urban area from the agricultural land to the west which is largely planted in almond and walnut orchards. In 1999, the City adopted a TDR ordinance designed to redirect development from environmentally significant lands.
The Chico TDR code allows the number of dwelling units which could potentially be developed on a sending site to be transferred to a receiving site, thereby increasing the maximum density otherwise allowed to the receiving site by the general plan and zoning code. Transfers in this program must be approved using the planned development, specific plan or development agreement process. Applicants must demonstrate that the proposed sending parcels should be conserved and that the receiving sites are capable of accommodating the additional density proposed. TDR allocation is calculated by multiplying the number of dwelling units per gross acre allowed by the sending site’s zoning classification times the site’s acreage.

I'm a wee bit nervous.
While I was on vacation I got an email asking me to do two freelance stories for the local paper (the editor actually tried to call but I was in a no-service area of Montana). Well, one thing led to another and it turned into three stories (all of which I found the subjects to interview and write about). Last year when I wrote for this publication, they asked for two 300-word stories. After trying to write them I asked if I could do more words and they said, "Sure." So they got two approximately 400-word stories. So this year I'm aiming at 400 words. I've already sent off two of them that were 423 and 501 words. So I'm already over the limit pretty significantly in one case (25% over).
But the second draft of the third story is currently at . . .787 words. I can kind of see pulling that back to 731 by taking out one paragraph that isn't desperately essential to the story. But even that I don't want to do. But I'm 97% over the limit! And, frankly, I don't want to make the story shorter because it's such a great story (because of the subject, not my writing). I'm going to, when satisfied with it, email it off and let the chips fall where they may.
So I'm a wee bit nervous.
Oh, and staring this afternoon I have another big story (1,000 words plus) to work on for another publication!

When Cody Phillips opened EnergyFIT Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness Academy in January 2017, he introduced a way for the whole family to focus on fitness together.
EnergyFIT Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness Academy offers Brazilian jiujitsu and Muay Thai classes for children and adults.
Brazilian Jiujitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on how smaller individuals can defend themselves against larger opponents by using proper technique and strategy, Phillips said. Muay Thai involves kickboxing techniques designed to maximize levels of cardio fitness and mental fortitude.
Phillips said he believes the martial arts classes have all seen overwhelming success since opening due to the leadership of the gym’s instructors and the family-friendly atmosphere.
Energy Fit Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness Academy is located at 2330 FM 1488, Ste. 700, The Woodlands. The academy is for ages 4 and up and offers Kickboxing, Muay Thai kick boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for both kids and adults.

The application of novel brain stimulation techniques to treat depression, physical (or “somatic”) pain, and/or other neuropsychiatric (psychiatric & neurological) disorders, is a new and rapidly growing field. These include transcranial low voltage electrical stimulation (tES) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
These techniques are emerging as promising approaches because of their relative ease of use, safety, and dual neuro/biological effects. TMS appears to be more potent than transcranial low voltage electrical stimulation.
Unfortunately, TMS is limited by the need for a substantial period of rigorously scheduled treatments (daily for 4-6 weeks), which can create a significant human burden in terms of delayed onset of relief, time, and money.
These limitations often result in poor patient participation (“compliance”). Even when we accelerate the process by treating more times per day (rTMS), the outcomes may be less than satisfying. Although some of the inconvenience is improved by this acceleration, the response and complete symptom improvement (“remission”) rates achieved are about the same.
Beyond external neuromodulation sits a more intrusive set of brain stimulation techniques that includes VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulation), and DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation). Both require surgical placement of electrodes and pulse generators.
A variant of TMS, “deep TMS” was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because it was apparently capable of causing a significant response in 36.7% of patients in treatment-resistant depression, compared with a response rate of 20.5% in the control group, and causing remission in about 30.4% of patients with treatment-resistant depression compared with a remission rate of 14.5% in the control group. Unfortunately, this means antidepressant medications and commonly used neuromodulation protocols appear to be about as effective as the so-called “placebo” response of approximately 40%.

Last night I got together with a few friends, and we were talking about how in Islam for example, there is very little imagery (if any) of the prophet Muhammad or Isa (Jesus) but how in Christianity, there are numerous depictions and drawings of Jesus. One thing I found curious was that many of the so-called visions people have of Jesus in dreams, or even according to some individuals “in real life” generally cater to the images they were brought up to believe. A Christian living in Texas, for example, who believes he or she encountered Jesus, is likely to describe him as having long dark hair, pretty light skin, a thin build, etc. However, I brought this up during our conversation, and one of my friends (who is very religious) told me that Jesus did actually look like the way he is depicted in photos. I know quite a few people on here may not even believe Jesus ever existed, but assuming he did, I would have thought that he would have likely looked less “European”. My friend told me that recently, a cloth with Jesus’s face on it was discovered apparently where he was buried, and there are documentaries about this. Apparently carbon dating was done to prove that this cloth existed around his time. He said the only thing they could not verify was Jesus’s skin colour, but that it is actually known what his physical structure looked like. I’m not sure if any of you are familiar with these recent claims, but I would like to know, what would your opinion be on this? Does this give these visions any more credence?
Islam, or the widely practiced version of it, expressly forbids depictions of Muhammad. That was the whole basis of the furore surrounding the Danish cartoons depicting him, and the resulting attack on the publication in which they appeared. That’s why there are so few images of him. As for Jesus in the Muslim tradition, he’s only a relatively minor figure in that mythology, and not being able to depict Muhammad makes it difficult to express images of any of the other figures regardless.
The “cloth with Jesus’s face on it” was the Shroud of Turin, which I’ve covered before. Its whereabouts have only been traced definitively back to the 14th to 15th century, and the majority of carbon dating tests done on it so far place its origin around that time. The Christian image of Jesus had mostly been standardised by the 6th century, so if the shroud is a fake then it creators were already working from the image we’re familiar with from so many paintings.
There are claims that those tests were invalid because they were supposedly done on newer patches of cloth, but even the strongest advocates of the shroud’s authenticity can only point to a test which indicates a date range that includes the time of Jesus, but also includes the year 1000 BC and the year AD 1700. In other words it’s useless.
Coming back to your question about people’s visions of Jesus matching the image on the shroud, they also match the accepted image of Jesus from all the art. Even if the shroud is genuine, the supposed visions would only be amazing just for matching the shroud if the shroud were the only surviving source of that type of depiction of Jesus. To sustain the claim, a Christian would have to go on to claim that every famous artist who painted that kind of face for him had a similar vision, because otherwise the face comes to people’s minds for other reasons than that Jesus has paid them all a visit.

In the third quarter of 2010, PATRIZIA Immobilien AG (ISIN DE000PAT1AG3) continued the strong development it enjoyed in the first half of the year: Cumulative revenues for 2010 to date increased by 43.0 % year-on-year to EUR 221.2 million (previous year: EUR 154.7 million).
EBIT for the first nine months of 2010 amounted to EUR 44.7 million, up 19.4 % year-on-year (previous year: EUR 38.1 million). Operating earnings (EBT adjusted) improved by EUR 11 million up to EUR 8.2 million (previous year: EUR -2.8 million). This was primarily attributable to the positive business performance in the Residential Property Resale segment: sales figures increased to 245 units in the third quarter of 2010 (+13.4 %; third quarter of 2009: 216 units). With 605 units sold in the first three quarters, the segment has already achieved 92 % of the sales recorded in 2009 as a whole (657 units). Block sales exceeded the prior-year figure by 31 %, with a total of 380 units sold in the first nine months (2009: 289 units). All in all, 985 units were sold by way of residential property resale and block sale in the first three quarters of 2010, 4 % more than in the whole of 2009 (946 units).
The Management Board is taking this positive development as an opportunity to raise its forecast for 2010. It is now forecasting operating earnings (EBT adjusted) for fiscal 2010 of between EUR 12 million and EUR 13 million (previously EUR 10 million).
This increase is due to the notarized transactions that will be recognized in income in the fourth quarter. Three development projects will be handed over to their new owners by the end of the year. In addition, a further 281 units have been notarized as part of block sales, the sales proceeds from which will also be recognized in the fourth quarter. In the Residential Property Resale segment, sales figures in the region of those generated in both the first and second quarters of 2010 – i.e. around 180 units – should be achievable.
The complete interim report for the third quarter of 2010 can be found here.

One of the most common mistakes is hanging a painting too high. Regardless of size, the work should be around eye level. The general rule of thumb is to hang art so the midpoint of the piece is between 57 and 66 inches from the ground. Larger pieces (4x4 feet and up) still should be at eye level, but the size of the room, height of the ceiling and influence of other furniture and art all should be considered for a balanced effect.
Remember to make a lasting impression with the artwork and not your mistakes, so use a pencil to measure and mark the wall where you’ll create nail holes. And don’t forget to account for the space between the hook or wiring and the top of the painting when you are measuring.
While hanging a painting over the fireplace seems quite natural, fine art needs protection from extremes in heat or cold. (Canvasses can melt, says fine art auction house Christie’s.) You’ll also want to keep your treasures away from radiators, direct sunlight, kitchen steam and damp areas like bathrooms. If it’s a drawing or watercolor, it is best to avoid hanging them near windows as well. But if you’re determined that it’s over the mantel or nothing, consider smart framing to minimize the toll of heat and light.
When hanging multiple pieces or adding a new painting to your existing collection, even a beginner can master two hanging styles: salon-style and grid pattern. With a salon-style gallery, determine the centerpiece of the collection and then hang the remaining art in an eye-catching pattern around it. Establish a theme or make friends with contrast. Prefer a more structured design? Try arranging your art in a grid formation on your wall. Just remember to leave two to three inches between frames.
With attention to one last detail—making sure the wiring, hook etc. can hold the weight of your artwork—you’re ready to roll and hang that treasure. By following these simple steps, you’ll soon be hanging fine art like a pro.

In a curious twist of fate, two of this weekend’s fixtures mirror the FA Cup semi-final draw, with Spurs taking on Portsmouth and Aston Villa providing the opposition for Chelsea at the Bridge. The Wembley date will be shunted to the back of the mind temporarily though as the Premier League comes first, and with a title race as close as the shave on Joe Cole’s head, points mean prizes. With just seven games left for the big boys, any match can spawn a plethora of possibilities, and the Villa game is no different.
With Arsenal away at Villa’s near neighbours Birmingham City, and Manchester United facing a late kick-off at Bolton on Saturday, the best case scenario would see us two points clear at the top of the Premier League come 7.30pm. On the flipside, a performance akin to the Blackburn draw last weekend – or worse – would put us third again, looking up at our escaping title rivals.
Perhaps fortunately, Villa haven’t been on top form in recent weeks. Of their last five Premier League matches, wins have only come against Burnley and Wigan, with draws against Stoke, Sunderland and Wolves costing them points. They haven’t lost in the league in 2010 though, with their last defeat coming at home against Liverpool – who scored through a last minute Fernando Torres goal – on 29 December 2009.
Sitting 7th in the league, Villa have only lost two games at home and their away form is adequate too. Six wins, five draws and three defeats is not too different from our own eight wins, four draws and four defeats, but Villa have only scored 16 away goals compared to our 30 (buoyed by five at Pompey on Wednesday).
Villa are looking good on the injury front though, with just Nigel Reo-Coker unavailable. Our injury list seems to grow by the day on the other hand, with Riccy Carvalho the latest player to fall foul to an ailment. The Portuguese defender leaves us with just two fit senior centre-backs, and he joins six other players on the sidelines – Michael Ballack and Hilario, who could return for Saturday, and Branislav Ivanovic, Michael Essien, Ashley Cole, José Bosingwa who won’t – which puts us joint top of the Premier League injury table. Great.
Our recent results against Villa have been far from comfortable too. Apart from a sensational 2-0 win in October 2008 under Luis Felipe Scolari and a 4-0 League Cup victory in November 2006 (in which Andriy Shevchenko scored), our recent form hasn’t been great. The reverse fixture this season resulted in a 2-1 Villa win, with Richard Dunne and James Collins scoring to cancel out Didier Drogba’s opener. Incidentally, that was the first time this season we scored first and dropped points, a trend which has recently started up again.
Another memorable meeting was the 4-4 at the Bridge on Boxing Day 2007 (in which Sheva bagged a brace!), but you have to go back to the final day of the 2002 Premier League season for Villa’s last win at Chelsea. In a dead rubber of a game, a week after losing the FA Cup Final against Arsenal, goals from a young man named Peter Crouch, a bright England prospect Darius Vassell, and future Sky pundit Dion Dublin scored Villa’s three goals, with Eidur Gudjohnsen netting a penalty for us to give a little gloss to the scoreline in a 3-1 defeat.
Peter Walton is the ref for Saturday’s FA Cup warm-up, with the Northamptonshire official fresh off the battlefield that was the City of Manchester Stadium on Wednesday, which saw David Moyes and Roberto Mancini dismissed to the stands after a spate of handbags and a chin to chin – well, tactfully designed club-coloured scarf in Mancini’s case –confrontation.
Walton doesn’t just limit his red cards to bosses though, as his five so far this season will testify. Curiously enough, all of them have come in games involving the ‘big four’, and two in Chelsea games, which could suggest he’s taking the Graham Poll approach to self-publicity. He sent off Florent Malouda for two bookings against Birmingham on Boxing Day, and Jlloyd Samuel against us on Halloween in a 4-0 win over Bolton. He also sent Nani off for Manchester United against Villa in February, the last game he reffed involving either side.
With Villa fighting for a place in next season’s Champions League – to think, they’re actually looking forward to a spot in the tournament – and the race for said berth almost as tight as the chase for the title, they have their own reasons for desperately wanting a win on Saturday. They can’t be trusted week-in, week-out though, and before anyone shouts, ‘Well nor can we’, our 5-0 win on Wednesday over Pompey was without getting out of first gear. If the Blackburn game was a blip, then let it end there and forever be forgotten, because we’re living in the present now and to use an old footballer’s cliché, we’re taking it one game at a time.
And we win games, don’t we?

text: Here’s a book for every babushka, yaya, farmor, lola and kuia (respectively Russian, Greek, Danish, Filipino and Maori). Go to page five and you’ll find an assortment of other names for grandmothers. Touted as the first of its kind, Eric Veillé’s Encyclopedia of Grannies is a must for every discerning grandparent and grandchild (hint hint) - this would be a great present for “Grand” Mother’s Day! Quirky and full of great facts about grannies, this is sure to exercise the imagination, be a good talking point, and show the reader that grannies come in all varieties (shapes, sizes, ages, types) from the wildly leaping energetic gran on the cover (hold on kids!) to those who need a ‘throne’ for their weary bones. And their hair - well, its anything they wish it to be. “Most grannies do whatever they like with their hair. And quite right.” And one thing we are told, that they share in common, is time: time to be tempted by a cream bun, time to give cuddles, time to give the table a quick wipe, and time to get names muddled up. Grannies are wise, especially when they eating out in the treetops (Veillé’s text and illustrations create fun and hilarious juxtapositions), and grannies have their own special vocabulary (some of which is rather quaint). My favourite page is ‘Inside’: see a granny and her insides, with illustrations of the girl she was. “Inside every granny, there’s a small house, and in that house is that same granny when she was a little girl.” The book is dotted with questions from children: Why do grannies always tell us to speak up? Do grannies only ever knit cardigans? Do all grannies like nature walks? And where are those busloads of grannies going? All is revealed with the jaunty text and even more in the excellent and funky drawings. It’s not just fun and games, though: there’s also a page dedicated to moods and feelings. “Sometimes a granny feels like a lump of old mashed potato”. On this page, there are some hints about how you can cheer up a granny: draw her a chicken, put her hair in pigtails, give her drops of rain from a country where it doesn’t rain, or tell her a secret. And of course, there is a whole spread dedicated to her travels and to sending her postcards! And there’s a cat on every page to show you the way and to make comment in the way only cats can. Plenty of fun for the young, as well for every granny, nana, nonna, abuela, nainai and jida. Enjoyable.

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RecQ DEAH helicase family and interacts with the BRCT repeats of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1). The bound complex is important in the normal double-strand break repair function of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1). This gene may be a target of germline cancer-inducing mutations.
BRIP1 (BRCA1 interacting protein C-terminal helicase 1) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with BRIP1 include brip1-related fanconi anemia, and brip1-related breast cancer. GO annotations related to this gene include ATP-dependent DNA helicase activity and 4 iron, 4 sulfur cluster binding. An important paralog of this gene is DDX11.
DNA-dependent ATPase and 5' to 3' DNA helicase required for the maintenance of chromosomal stability. Acts late in the Fanconi anemia pathway, after FANCD2 ubiquitination. Involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination in a manner that depends on its association with BRCA1.
