The Kardatzke Wellness Center strategically connects to the existing structures of the O.C. Lewis Gymnasium and Bennett Natatorium and brings together the departments of Kinesiology and Athletics in a state-of-the-art facility that incorporates academics, health, recreation, and wellness.
Built in 1972, Bennett Natatorium is a six-lane 25-yard pool. The pool is used for many physical education classes. Classes include the aquatic section of the Liberal Arts Fit for Life class, beginning swimming, and intermediate swimming, American Red Cross Lifeguarding, American Red Cross Lifeguarding Instructor, American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor, Pool/Spa Administrator, and Scuba. There are also multiple lap swim times throughout the week, as well as Water Aerobics. Intramurals hosts events in the pool during the year as well.
The Tom and Sch’ree Ward Fieldhouse is a multipurpose fieldhouse that features four regulation basketball courts, a 200-meter regulation indoor running track, a drop-down batting cage and, on the upper level, a 355-meter indoor walking/jogging track.
The 200-meter indoor competition track is a Mondo surface with six 36-inch lanes around the oval and eight 42-inch lanes for hurdles in the straightaway. Anderson University is the only school in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference to have an indoor competition track.
With the addition of the fieldhouse, the Campus Activities Board redesigned an intramural program mirroring programs found at large universities. This facility allows for expanded and consistent intramural programming, which previously needed to be arranged around intercollegiate athletic activities and the weather. Instead of five intramural programs, there will be 20, including the addition of indoor floor hockey and indoor soccer.
In addition to all of the scheduled activities in the Ward Fieldhouse, the university is committed to always keep one track and one court open to students, faculty, and staff who want to stop by for a quick game of basketball with friends or a brisk walk around the track.
The Bill and Gloria Gaither Sports Medicine Center is a 5,800 square-foot facility dedicated to sports medicine. The Sports Medicine Center is utilized for injury care, rehabilitation, taping, and academic instruction. An auxiliary training room is also available now for visiting teams.
Anderson University is one of the few universities in the nation to have their own Swim Ex. The Swim Ex is a rehabilitation pool that uses varying depth and amounts of water current to provide resistance to rehabilitation exercises and a variety of other rehabilitation devices.
R. Glenn and Berny Falls Fitness Center has 6,300 square feet and includes stacks and plate-loaded weights. The cardio room includes treadmills, stationary bicycles, stair climbers, elliptical machines, and a versa climber. The upstairs walking/jogging track is available for people with simpler exercise tastes. The cardio and weight-training stations feature four television sets for people who crave entertainment while they exercise.
The J. Willard and Virginia E. Reardon Wellness Education Center more than doubles the number of classrooms for the Department of Kinesiology, leaving ample space for wellness workshops or health fairs. A Healthy Eating Kitchen provides space for cooking workshops on healthy snacks, seasoning food or Mediterranean cuisine.
The Prayer Alcove was completed in March 2005 as a finishing touch to the Kardatzke Wellness Center and a place where students and faculty can pray and reflect.
Planning for the Prayer Alcove dates back to the design phase of the Wellness Center, although its construction was postponed until after the facility was in use and its purpose was better understood. The financial piece fell into place in 2003 when Ron and Carol Baker of Ohio made a contribution in support of the project, and in honor of retiring university Vice President Ron Moore for his 38 years of service.
Students in the Anderson University Department of Art and Design competed for the opportunity to design the alcove, presenting their ideas to a committee. The ideas selected were those of Jennifer Ferguson, Sarah Crosley, and Kim Weller, who interviewed Wellness Center patrons and found the majority preferred a space that mirrored the elements found in nature.
The Prayer Alcove does just that, inviting people to kneel at its alter or sit on the cool benches that line the wall. It has been set apart from the bustle of the Wellness Center but remains connected to the facility to symbolize the vital link between physical and spiritual wellness.
The mounted cross is the focal point of the Prayer Alcove. It serves as an altar for those coming to pray but is close enough for patrons to reach out and touch it.
Purchasing almost six tons of stone for the wall, Frederick’s Construction in Anderson pieced the wall together with mortar, paying careful attention to the shape and dimensions of each rock.
The cross itself is made out of wood. Under the watchful eyes of student designers, Frederick’s employees took special care with a hammer, chipping away pieces of wood to make the cross appear more rugged. The wood was then assembled and stained.
The stained glass window is a critical element of the Prayer Alcove and represents the Tree of Life. Filtering light from the outside, the window brings color and creates a feeling of reverence and tranquility.
It was also one of the trickiest and most time-consuming elements of the alcove as Ferguson, Crosley, and Weller drew a life-size sketch of the window and passed it along to Moss Stained Glass in Anderson. The glass company drew on top of the students’ sketch exactly where the glass pieces would go. In all, it took more than a month to assemble the window using hot lead, and less than two hours to install.

TAM, Brazil’s largest airline, started a campaign titled “Passion to fly and to serve”, featuring its employees, from front-line staff to the president himself, signing a commitment towards offering superior service to their clients. Jose P., long-time visitor, contributed to the translations.
This ad features more than one signature, and an impressive Boeing 777 at the end!
While the seatbacks seem to be very bland and white, the inflight entertainment system, magazines and lavish meals are anything but bland!
Even the people who are not in the front line have a very important role to ensure the peace of mind of their passengers, as this employee proudly says.
Handling packages from all around a world in a timely manner is a priority, says this employee.
Surprising, isn’t it? An airline president who still flies in the left seat once in a while, and who signs a commitment, just like his employees.

This usually is the primary determiner of what kind of tool you can get. Remember that there is no standard price for SEO tools and while some are costly, others are quite cheap. You will, therefore, want to put much focus on the features of the SEO tool that you want. The easiest way of knowing which features to look for is by identifying what you need from your tool. You will also want to avoid SEO tools that are ridiculously cheap and seem to offer everything that you wish for. That is because it is the trick used by people selling fake SEO tools to get you to give up your money fast.
A good SEO tool is one that is easy to use. Remember that most of the online entrepreneurs have no basic e-commerce skills whatsoever. That is why e-commerce platforms and SEO tools these days are designed to be usable by anyone who can read and understand. Also, you need something that will give you an easy time to get whatever you need fast. Be it a report or a notification that requires your attention, the best tool to have is one that you can easily use and get the right results. Complicated SEO software will slow you down and also take you so much time to get used to. A simple software, on the other hand, will allow you to begin using it immediately plus you can quickly train your employees on how to use it.
SEO tools developers are under constant pressure and competition; hence they will do whatever it takes to win more customers. That’s why you will find that most SEO software comes with something extra on top of the standard SEO solutions. As an online entrepreneur, this should be the best chance for you to good for exactly what you want. It is also important to know that while SEO software can include all the options, some only come with a single feature like keyword tracking or image optimization tool.
Getting the right SEO tools is vital for the future of your business because it will determine how your customers find you on search engines. Surviving the market without one is impossible because of the workload you will have to deal with plus, you do need reports of how your website is performing.

For most parents in Colorado, nothing is more important to them than their child's well-being. Therefore, if parents divorce, they may want to make sure any child custody decisions are made in a way that allows the child to grow and thrive. The state recognizes this, and therefore, when making child custody decisions, courts are to make decisions that are in the child's best interests.

The concept of globalization or internationalization of certain wars, which were result of terrorist activities worldwide, as well as the high attention of terrorism coverage broadcast worldwide might open up better opportunities to journalists particularly to those who work in democratic countries like U.S.Aand India to improve their coverage. The context is the key: the context of the operation methodology, follow of guidelines of regulatory bodies, and of the journalistic culture and of the global environment. It is very important how media presents consequences of terrorist acts, how information is transmitted to public. Television and press have had a significant impact on how public receives terrorist acts and their consequences. As a result, nearly each public survey indicates that responders almost anywhere put fear of terrorist acts o the top of their priority list. In order to reach out on a conclusion on this paper, researcher has gone through number of books related to terrorism and media, has examined significant number of journals which deals with core issue of terrorism and its coverage by media.

A good flat in Minsk under $200 / month: myth or reality?
The problem to rent a good flat for a long term at reasonable prices in Minsk is really hot-burning nowadays. Especially for ordinary Belorussians, whose average salary is nearly 500 USD a month (according to the statistics).
Some people claim that it is not a problem to rent a good flat in Minsk for 200 USD a month. The real estate specialists have calculated that the cost of rent should not be more than 20% of the monthly income of the person. In Minsk this sum is something like $100. But what do we have in reality?
In those flats, which cost less than $200, the living conditions are really poor. The only furniture in such apartments is a wooden bed, a table, a chair and, if you are really lucky, a wardrobe. Not mentioning the location of the apartment which surely will be inconvenient. More or less modern apartments are offered for 350 USD / month or more. It may go up to 2000-3000 USD / month for a luxury long term apartment in the very center.
It turns out, that it is actually possible to rent a flat for $200 a month, but your life in it will turn into survival. So, stories about good and very cheap apartments in Minsk, unfortunately, are just myths.

Uncertainty over ceasefire amid fourth attack in two days and closure of crossings.
Abu Qusai, a spokesman for the Brigades, said: "The rocket attack was in response to Israeli violations. Any calm deal must end Israeli attacks on our people in the West Bank too."
The Israeli army killed two Palestinians in a raid on the West Bank on Wednesday, an attack that the Islamic Jihad movement had already claimed as provocation for the three rockets fired later the same day.
The truce, brokered by Egypt, does not cover the West Bank.
Nour Odeh, Al Jazeera's correspondent in the West Bank, said: "This ceasefire that was reached through Palestinian consensus in the Hamas controlled Gaza; it was adhered to and welcomed by all Palestinian factions.
"Now we have two factions saying that actions in the West Bank must have repercussions," she said.
"The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades….says the ceasefire must include the West Bank. This is a departure from the official Fatah statement and will no doubt being a worrying development even for president Mahmoud Abbas."
Israel closed three of its border crossings with the Gaza Strip in response to Tuesday's rocket attacks, and they remained shut on Thursday.
"The Gaza crossings are still closed," Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesperson, said before the latest rocket attack.
He said that the restrictions were imposed "in response to the firing of rockets on Tuesday".
The Erez passenger terminal remained open for humanitarian purposes, he added.
Asked when supplies would again be allowed into Gaza, he said: "This will depend on the security situation - there is an ongoing evaluation."
The six-month truce between Israel and Hamas entailed a gradual easing of a blockade that Israel imposes on the Palestinian territory as well as an end to attacks by both sides.
After the crossings were shut on Wednesday, Islamic Jihad said that it would abide by the truce but warned it would respond if Israel was seen to have violated the agreement.
"We will apply the pact on the suspension of attacks if Israel also respects it," he said.
He said that a "committee comprising representatives of Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Fatah will meet when Israel breaches the truce to determine a riposte".
Israel imposed the blockade after Hamas took power of the Gaza Strip in June 2007.
The World Bank says the embargo has crippled the Gazan economy, where about 80 per cent but Israel says it has allowed enough supplies to be transported to the strip.
Meanwhile, Ofer Dekel, an Israeli envoy, is due in Cairo on Thursday to press Egyptian authorities not to reopen the Rafah border crossing until Corporal Gilad Shalit, who was captured two years ago, is released.
Rafah, the only Gaza crossing that bypasses Israel, has been closed since 2006, although Egypt has allowed some medical patients to cross the border.
Dekel is to meet Omar Suleiman, an Egyptian intelligence chief, who played a key role in mediating the truce which came into effect on June 19.
Hamas said on Wednesday that Shalit's release is unrelated to the truce agreement and that he will only be freed in exchange for the release of 450 jailed Palestinians.

To manage is to be interrupted. Too often, however, we are distracted, a minor detour such as the ping of incoming emails, or interrupted, which suggests a more important break in your attention such as someone at your door. Either way, a writer in the NY Times recently suggested keeping an interruption log. The log will tell you more about why you are behind in your work and give you clues how to diminish efficiency-sapping intrusions.

Reported online in The Journal of Neurosurgery, doctors, led by a Johns Hopkins’ craniofacial plastic surgeon, describe a case study, involving a single patient who benefited from the new technique to reshape the outer lining of his brain known as the dura. This allowed the surgeons to reconstruct his large skull defect using a combination of metal and acrylic commonly referred to as a cranioplasty.
This unprecedented surgery was performed at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and was led by Chad R. Gordon, D.O., now assistant professor in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and former MGH associate staff member and craniomaxillofacial fellow at Harvard Medical School. The patient, a middle-aged male, had undergone surgery to remove a brain tumor by neurosurgery, which was subsequently complicated by a severe bone infection requiring partial removal of his skull bone. This left him with a significant skull deformity and helmet therapy was prescribed daily in an attempt to protect his exposed brain from further injury. During the prolonged time required to clear the bone infection, his brain had expanded outside the limits of his native skull, therefore making any type of standard skull reconstruction impossible.
Gordon and his colleagues decided to use a new approach they now refer to as a “bipolar duraplasty” to temporarily treat this patient’s herniation. Using this maneuver, plastic surgeons employed low-level heat in a careful, precise manner to strategically shrink the brain instantaneously, thereby allowing them the opportunity to perform the planned cranioplasty. In this instance, metal and plastic are used in combination to replace the missing skull in its previous position. This provides permanent brain protection and, at the same time, restores an optimal aesthetic appearance. Bipolar cautery, as used here, is the first-ever reported case worldwide of craniofacial surgeons using bipolar electrocautery to temporarily reshape the brain.
The patient was monitored closely for a year following his surgery and reported no complication. Gordon says he hopes to conduct a future clinical trial that will evaluate long-term outcomes in similar cranioplasty patients.
A video highlighting the Bipolar Duraplasty procedure can be viewed here: http://mfile.akamai.com/21490/wmv/digitalwbc.download.akamai.com/21492/wm.digitalsource-na-regional/jns11-744_video_source_video_1.asx (Media Player required). The patient in the video is the same patient who was the subject of the study published in the online version of The Journal of Neurosurgery.
Additional authors from MGH on this study include Edward W. Swanson, B.A.S., Tormod S. Westvik, M.D., and Michael J. Yaremchuk, M.D.

Quick question: Do you want to pay the bad guys and/or clean up for three weeks, or click ONE button and say goodbye to all unknown Ransomware threats. Blacklisting is impossible. There are thousands of new evil applications created per day. And Whitelisting is no cakewalk either. You have to constantly stay on top of everything you deploy and install. There’s a BETTER way, a THIRD way, using PolicyPak SecureRun. With SecureRun, you’re only letting applications run if they were “properly installed” or otherwise sanctioned by you. Check out this video, and block all unknown Malware and zero-day threats.
Hi, this is Whitney with PolicyPak Software. In the last video, we saw how to handle elevation problems where you needed to elevate an application or an installer or a Control Panel applet even if your user is a standard user. However, we still have some problems that we need to solve here.
I can run “CamPlay” as a standard user. That’s just a video player, and it’s innocuous. So is “NotepadP,” but it’s a portable app and who knows where it came from or what it does. Here I have this “Ransomware Simulator.” As a standard user, oh, my God! It’s eating all of my documents. It could be doing who knows what. That’s clearly a problem.
We need to rectify this with the SecureRun portion of PolicyPak Least Privilege Manager. We’re going to do like we did before. We’re going to create the policy, export it as XML, wrap it up in an MSI and then deploy it using an MDM service. In my case, I’m using AirWatch, but you can use whatever you like that works for you like MobileIron or Intune.
What SecureRun does is it only allows applications to run if they are owned by someone on the “SecureRun Members” list here. If it’s an application that is installed or owned by the standard user, then it won’t run. Which means that Ransomware Simulator, CamPlay, NotepadP, none of that is going to run.
Now we need to wrap that XML up in an MSI. We’re not going to create a new MSI like we did before. We’re actually going to edit the existing MSI, and then we can redeploy that. I’m going to go find my “PolicyPak Exporter Tool” down in my “PolicyPak” folder here.
In this case, we’re actually going to “Open an existing MSI installer previously generated by this tool for editing” rather than creating a new one. We’ll click “Next.” It wants to know which one we want to open. It’s that Least Privilege Manager one.
Right now, I’m going to go ahead and get rid of that old XML and I’m going to add back in the XML we just created. We’re going to leave it at “Install For” “Computer.” We’re still going to “Target” “All Users.” We’re going to say “Next” and give it a “Product Name.” Notice that there’s a “New Product Version” now, so we version that as we go. I will click “Next” again. We’re going to “Save” it just like we did before. We’ve replaced that, and we’ve done it.
All right, now I just need to deploy this using my MDM service. I’m going to pause the video, make sure that it gets uploaded and then deployed to my machine, and then we’ll see the end result. We’ll be right back.
And we’re back. Just as before, if I go to the Control Panel, I can see that my “LPM PolicyPak Settings” are indeed installed on here. But it’s deployed with that new MSI, so it’s going to contain that extra information that says smack down stuff that’s not owned by a person on the SecureRun list. So now when I go to “CamPlay,” it has been blocked, and “NotepadP” is also blocked, and as expected “Ransomware Simulator” is also blocked.
Now just to put a fine point on it, these will open just fine. These were installed as an admin. It’s by someone that’s on the SecureRun list. So if I open “WinZip,” “Firefox,” etc., there’s no problem there. Also, “iTunes” will open just fine because it is installed as an admin when we installed it because we installed it elevated. So that opens up all just fine.
But now we realize, whoops! We like “CamPlay.” That’s a good program. We want to let that one through. So we’re going to go back to our management station and make a few changes. We’ll do all those same export and deploy and all of that.
We don’t actually need to “Run with elevated privileges.” We just want to run it at all, so we’re going to “Allow and log.” I’m going to “Let CamPlay Run.” So we’ll “Finish” that. Whoops! I didn’t put it in “Collection 1.” I’ll just drag it into that collection there. There we go.
Now we can go back to “Collection 1” and “Export Collection as XML” once again. We’re just going to throw it right back there on the “Desktop.” We’ll overwrite that same file there. We’re going to renew that MSI and deploy it, and we’ll see CamPlay run from there.
Let’s go grab this. We’ll do that “Open an existing MSI installer previously generated by this tool for editing,” just like we did before. We will get rid of the old XML. We’ll add back in the new stuff. We’ll go “Next.” Once again, we versioned it one more time, as you can see. We’ll “Save” it just as we did before. There we go.
Now I just need to redeploy that, and we will have CamPlay let through that SecureRun door. We’ll pause and come right back.
And we’re back. We got everything redeployed. Now when I go click on “CamPlay,” there it is. We’ve let it right through. We can’t open “NotepadP” still. We also still can’t open “Ransomware Simulator.” We specifically said to allow “CamPlay” only, and we’ve done it.
That’s how you’re going to deal with unknown-ware or possibly ransomware or malware. Who knows? But that’s how you’re going to smack that right down but then maybe allow something through that you know to be good.

There’s a great range of accommodation options available.
Students can choose to stay in the on site residence, with local hosts or in simple student apartments. All accommodation is to the east of Malaga city, near the college. Allow approximately 10 to 30 minutes for the morning commute to college, if with hosts, or longer if in student apartments (particularly Style B apartments). Of course, if you stay on site, commuting is not an issue!
The Residence is a popular option year round (everyone loves to live on site) and becomes very busy in the summer months, so please check availability with CESA as early as possible. NB: It can also be a little noisy in the summer with a larger percentage of younger students (so if you want to avoid the 16/24 yr olds don’t book a course for peak season)!
It offers triple or double, shared rooms (you don’t have to share with friends, but we would recommend this for older students), or single rooms. Each room has its own small en suite bath or shower room with wc. No meals are included in the cost – students can pay as they go for meals either on site, in the many varied restaurants/cafes along the sea front or go into town. Alternatively you can book a meal plan with the college – talk to CESA if interested.
A double room for sole use is also an option (as the single rooms are small) but NOT in the summer season.
In addition the residence offers Executive rooms for one person or couples to share, with en suite bathrooms, TV, fridge and small private balcony. There are also some larger Studios on site (they cost more, but are very comfortable and are in high demand).
Local Spanish hosts are normally 10 to 25 minutes on foot form the college, and within easy reach of the beach. Dinner is sometimes available on request, rather than lunch, but remember that the majority of students will book the breakfast/lunch option and inevitably enjoy eating out in the evening on the sea front. If following a programme of 25 lessons or more (per week) discuss changing to breakfast and dinner, with CESA as it may suit your timetable better.
Students can rent an apartment, sharing with other language students, for up to 8 weeks initially and can then choose to extend the arrangement, once out in Spain.
Within 10 minutes walk of the college, with air con, safety deposit boxes, pool access (May/Oct) shared bathroom, living room and kitchen.
30 mins+ travel to college, no air con, more basic furnishings, shared bathroom, living room and kitchen.
We recommend students fly direct to Malaga’s Pablo Picasso International airport and then take a taxi or the college arranged transfer service to the college (the trip takes around 20 minutes). Public transport in Malaga is good value for money, efficient (allowing for traffic congestion) and easy to tackle even if this is your first visit to Spain.
You are welcome to take the college transfer service at additional cost from the airport if preferred (one or two way service offered at extra cost).

The most famous pedestrian, and perhaps the greatest walker that ever lived, Edward Payson Weston, once said, “Anyone can walk. It’s free, like the sun by day and the stars by night. All we have to do is get on our legs, and the roads will take us everywhere.” And, his walking and showmanship turned him into a superstar, and walking into a competitive and wildly popular mid-19th century sport called pedestrianism.
Weston’s own self-reported pamphlet titled “The Pedestrian” which is primarily a journal of his walk from Boston to Washington, a distance of 478 miles in 10 days. The story is a log of his journey, which is supported by numerous newspaper articles of the day. True to his entrepreneurial nature, Weston wrote the story to earn money and to promote his new avocation of long distance walking. He added the section called “Pedestrian Adventures” as his personal biography at the age of 22 and as an epilog about odd events that happened to him afterwards, including his role as a Union spy.

Formed in 2010 by Will Toledo, Car Seat Headrest started off as a small indie venture by the Virginian native. Cranking out album after album, Toledo soon grew to internet fame through Bandcamp and even had a run-in with the music boards of 4chan. Toledo captured the lo-fi sound while writing melancholic, introspective lyrics, and he ran with it for 11 straight albums before being signed with Matador Records. With independent label giant Matador, Toledo made his debut with the successful Teens of Style. The album was mainly re-recordings of his greatest hits during his internet era.
Fast forward to May 2015, Car Seat Headrest is now a full-fledged band with four members rather than a single Toledo, and they are on the verge of releasing their latest album Teens of Denial. The album was critically-acclaimed within indie rock circles and a step forward for the band. Car Seat Headrest’s lyrics were dark and moody while the instrumentation was heavily reminiscent of the indie rock bands from the mid-90’s and new wave of the 80’s. Car Seat Headrest continues to mature and flesh out their sound with every album they continue to make.
Car Seat Headrest will be playing ACL 2017 on both weekends, Saturdays the 7th and 14th on the Honda Stage at 2:00 pm, so be sure to not miss out on them! Links to tickets, band website, Spotify, and social media are below!

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when the upper portion of the digestive tract is not functioning properly, causing stomach contents to flow back into the esophagus. Recurring heartburn is the most common symptom; others include the sensation of food or liquid coming up into the throat and a sour taste, as well as several less common symptoms. Recurring symptoms affect up to 29% of Canadians.
With an increasing number of individuals in Canada taking PPI medications, sometimes on a long-term basis, studies have been focussing on potential risks associated with short- and long-term PPI use.1,2 Researchers have identified a range of potential issues that can arise over time, including bone fractures, vitamin B12 deficiency, low magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia), cardiovascular events, and C. difficile infection. While research is ongoing, this article will focus on the more common issues that you might have heard something about and want clarification.
Despite some alarming headlines, what most of the current research shows is that there are some statistically significant associations between PPI use and several health issues but the full importance of these associations is not yet well understood. Experts consider PPI medications to be generally safe, even for long-term use. They recommend that physicians use rigorous procedures to ensure accurate diagnosing of GERD, prescribe the lowest effective dose, and monitor patients regularly, especially if they have risk factors for other health problems or are receiving treatment for other medical conditions (comorbidities). As with all prescribing decisions, physician and patient must discuss how the benefits of PPI therapy might or might not outweigh the potential risks.
Losec® (omeprazole), Prevacid® (lansoprazole), Pantoloc® (pantoprazole sodium), Nexium® (esomeprazole), Pariet® (rabeprazole), Tecta® (pantoprazole magnesium), and Dexilant® (dexlansoprazole).
In 2013, at Health Canada’s request, PPI manufacturers added a warning to their product monographs regarding an association between PPI use and fracture risk.3 Current research suggests a small increased risk for fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine in patients on PPI therapy. The risk is slightly higher for patients taking multiple daily doses of PPIs and those using PPI therapy for a year or longer.
One frequently-cited study that included 1,211 postmenopausal women showed omeprazole, a type of PPI, to be an independent factor in increased spinal (vertebral) fractures.4 Many others studies have also found an association between some PPI medications and osteoporosis-related fractures (osteoporosis is a disease that causes weakening of the bones, often resulting in fractures) as well as non-osteoporosis-related fractures. However, results are inconsistent, the associations are not strong, some of the studies are of low quality, and researchers don’t yet know exactly how PPI medications could cause bone problems, although impaired intestinal absorption of calcium, folate, vitamin B12, and other nutrients is suspected.1 Some studies show a dose-related association, others show a duration-related association, and yet others show no association with PPI dose or duration and fracture risk. The evidence is conflicting.
Experts don’t currently recommend that physicians monitor individuals on PPIs for bone mineral density or suggest they take calcium supplements. Continuing research will likely provide additional clarity.
A 2013 study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association,5 compared 25,956 patients with a diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency to 184,199 patients without the deficiency. All subjects were patients of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Clinic in Northern California between 1997 and 2011. Patients who took PPIs for more than two years were 65% more likely to have a vitamin B12 deficiency. The risk was strongest for individuals on long-term PPI therapy, those taking stronger doses, and among women. The study authors say their results don’t suggest any other risk factors to account for the association. However, the risk is fairly low…. if 67 individuals take PPIs for two years, then 1 of them will have vitamin B12 deficiency.
A recent literature review describes several previous studies with comparable results,2 but this most recent study is the largest to date and the first study based on a broad community population rather than focussing on elderly individuals. Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency might include numbness or tingling in the hands, legs, or feet; balance problems; anemia; jaundice; cognitive difficulties, such as memory loss, paranoia, or hallucinations; and weakness or fatigue. If left untreated, some of these symptoms and complications can be irreversible. Treatment might include a simple B12 supplement.
Current scientific literature on this issue consists of several single case reports and a small case series.1,2 A number of these studies show that PPI-related hypomagnesemia is unlikely to occur until at least one year of PPI therapy and most studies show no dosing-related factors. The elderly and those on diuretic and/or digoxin therapy are at a further increased risk. The causal mechanism might have to do with impaired intestinal absorption. Physicians don’t routinely check for low magnesium in PPI users and some researchers think PPI-related hypomagnesemia could occur more often than is documented.
Symptoms of hypomagnesemia include loss of appetite, vomiting, tiredness, weakness, a change in personality, involuntary muscle contractions (tetany), or tremors. There are numerous conditions associated with hypomagnesemia, such as malnutrition, parathyroid gland disorders, alcoholism, diabetes, and others. Experts advise health care providers be aware of potential hypomagnesemia and take note of any presentations, especially among individuals with other risk factors.
Plavix® (clopidogrel) is a prescription blood thinner medication that helps prevent blood clots in individuals with a history of stroke or heart attack (cardiovascular illness). Many studies have emerged showing an increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients taking some PPI medications (specifically omeprazole) along with clopidogrel.1 The concern is that PPIs might make clopidogrel less effective, resulting in increased risk of cardiovascular events in already-vulnerable patients.1 In 2011, Health Canada advised physicians to avoid prescribing omeprazole and some other PPIs to patients taking clopidogrel. Previously, Health Canada had discouraged any PPI use with clopidogrel, but narrowed the recommendation to include only those PPIs for which there is significant evidence.8 It is likely these recommendations will continue to evolve with future research findings.
A recent randomized control trial (the most reliable type of study), which included 3,873 patients, showed no increase in adverse cardiovascular events with omeprazole and clopidogrel co-therapy.9 Unfortunately, the researchers had to halt this study before completion due to lack of funding. The study authors had intended to follow up with participants for two years or until 143 cardiovascular events occurred (whichever came first), much longer than the 180 days and 106 cardiovascular events covered in the final study. If they had been able to complete the study, they would have had additional cardiovascular events to consider in their analysis.
In 2013, Health Canada released an advisory of a possible association between the use of PPIs and an increased risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).10 C. difficile is a bacterium that can cause diarrhea and may lead to more serious intestinal conditions. Factors known to increase the risk of infection include advanced age, severe underlying illness, hospitalization, and antibiotic use.
Health Canada continues to monitor this issue, evaluating the scientific evidence as it emerges. Symptoms of CDI include severe watery or bloody diarrhea (at least three bowel movements per day for two or more days), fever, loss of appetite, nausea, and abdominal pain or tenderness. Persons taking a PPI who develop diarrhea that does not improve should speak to a health care professional immediately.
A growing body of research shows associations between PPI therapy and a number of health issues. While researchers are developing and testing theories, most studies do not yet demonstrate an obvious causal relationship with PPI medications and many do not account for all possible risk factors. Another challenge is that not all PPI medications have the same level of potential risk. Additional, high-quality research will expand our understanding of the associations researchers are observing.
Physicians must be prudent in their prescription decisions, especially among vulnerable patients. If you require a PPI to control GERD symptoms, and the benefits outweigh the potential risks, you should continue to take their medication as prescribed. If you notice any abnormal symptoms, such as those described in this article, then make an appointment to discuss them with your physician.

Those owned and operated by Indigenous corporate and service entities and Prescribed Bodies Corporate where profits may be distributed back to that particular corporation or service entity or its constituent corporate members such as the previously mentioned “communities”.
This article deals with the structuring of the second and third categories. The first category is not dissimilar to the traditional individual business model and structuring for that category will depend on normal commercial considerations such as risk, tax, and business succession as applying to individuals.
The second and third categories are more akin to “public companies” where the structural considerations, apart from cultural considerations, need to consider continuity as well as risk, tax and business succession as applying to a large corporate group.
The possibility of “hiving off” some of the business elements in future.
In almost all cases we have had experience of, there is a central educational issue surrounding “ownership” and what that entails, as compared to the legal sense of ownership.
Members of the central organisation which owns a business entity that in turn may own one or more businesses are almost always not understanding of the “western” legal issues around the fact that it is the organisation that owns the entity and not themselves per se. In our experience, whatever structures are provided, this educational issue is required at the beginning, and throughout the life of the business, alongside the training in governance so that those “members” can be trained to make their voices heard “appropriately” at the meetings of the central organisation rather than those of subsidiary entities.
That any managers be required to sign employment contracts that include reporting responsibilities to their Boards, which are all of a similar template through the group.
The following is a “template” of a group structure that should be agreed to up front by the central Board so that as any new business activities are considered, the strategy for incorporation and operation is already set.
The Enterprise Holding Entity (“EHE”) should be owned 100% by the Central Organisation (not by members of the Central Organisation as individuals or trustees) so that there is a clearly defined ownership by the larger group and clear profit flows.
Accumulated profits can “rest” at this level so that part can be distributed up the line to the central organisation and part can be retained for further enterprise investment, the ratio to be decided as circumstances demand.
Each entity can be “hived off”, sold, closed, expanded, or partnered/joint ventured with an outside partner/investor without allowing that outside party into the affairs of any other business.
Land assets of the central organisation can sometimes be held in a totally separate non-trading entity. This might be applicable for example in the case of any freehold land that is considered part of the central “estate” that may never be sold. In this case, we believe the best structure is to create a “sister” entity to the Central Organisation but not connected by any ownership, where that land holding entity is owned by all the members in the same way that the Central Organisation is “owned” by the members. There should be no connection to EHE. This sometimes causes issues where the Central Organisation needs to borrow money to fund enterprise as some of this land may be required as security. This needs to be looked at separately should the need arise.
The type of entity that EHE and its subsidiaries should be will depend on a case by case review of circumstances. It should be noted that the EHE and all of its subsidiaries may end up being each totally different legal entities – the point is that each should suit the requirement for its position.
Clearly, a corporate structure consisting of an EHE and multiple subsidiaries under a central organisation could be a recipe for disaster in terms of control and strategic direction. Therefore it is important that before these entities are created, a “Charter” be agreed upon so that as these entities are incorporated, as far as the law allows, the central agreements of the “Charter” are included in the various constituent documents or Constitutions.
The requirement for Boards to be measured under agreed Performance Measures.
While it is important that each separate business be allowed to run their business in the way they see fit, nevertheless, it is equally important that the strategic direction and indeed the day to day operation of these businesses follow the strategic direction set by the central organisation through the EHE, and that common values are being followed. The “Charter” by which the separate Boards operate will help in this.
Performance against agreed Performance Measures.
There could be any number of objectives to be achieved by the central organisation in starting enterprises, ranging from funding its community or charitable activities, increasing economic opportunity for individual members, and so on. It is important to note however that in our opinion, while the EHE and subsidiary businesses should subscribe to the values of the central organisation and operate within its Indigenous culture as well as its corporate culture, they do not have objectives of being a community organisation nor of a charity. In other words they need to be run like businesses (albeit Indigenous businesses that subscribe to Indigenous community culture) that have the objectives of growing the business and investment funds, and making a profit. As the profits are distributed, what the central organisation does with that profit is outside the scope of the EHE structure.

Many wearable/fitness tracking companies have made fitness trackers designed for kids but no one has managed to corner the market just yet. Last year Fitbit released the Ace which was well received but is not really aimed at kids under 10 or so.
Overnight a new fitness tracker from Fitbit has leaked and it looks to be aimed at younger kids this time. The new tracker has been leaked in two very bright colours, a red/pink with green highlights and a blue with yellow highlights.
The band and surround of the display looks to be very durable and robust and obviously designed for kids who as a whole are often less-careful with their belongings. The display itself is also larger than the Ace and appears to have some fun animations on it, obviously designed for younger kids.
There is no word on when or if this will be released here but you can be sure we will be keeping an eye out for more information on this — who doesn’t want their kids to be more active?

You can have a chance of predicting the future without you visiting the astrology for information and consultation and information hence it is important to use the site for more information mad guidance. There are beneficial areas of the horoscope that can be of great importance when reading the daily magazines, newspaper or you can view on the horoscopes website and you can have an opportunity to learn. Knowledge and information is power hence you can read and learn from the horoscopes quote from the famous astrologist and they can publish the information on daily, weekly and monthly hence you will have the opportunity of learning more about the horoscope. There are benefits of using horoscope website and this include the following.
The next benefit is that saves times. You will save much of time since you do not need to answer many questions so that you can get your horoscope, all you need is to feed you date and the birth month and you will be able to get what the information. You will also save time you could spend when looking for the magazines and newspaper since using the website you just need to log at the website.
Also, there is the benefit of flexibility. It is flexible to use the horoscope website services since you can access the website at any given time you want. There are areas you cannot access the article for horoscope hence you need to use the website services that has no limits to access neither because of time or location.
However, there is the benefit of predicting the future. Prediction of the future is very significant since it will help to plan and know what will happen in future hence you will prepare both mentally and psychologically for what will come. Using the horoscope, you can be able to avoid some mistakes since you have the ideas and the clue to go about it; this is because you can get some important advice of finances and relationship.
Though relationships tend to be fun and exciting, they can also be heartbreaking. Breaking the bond that you both shared when you were committed to each other will not be easy. Going through a breakup may the hardest experience that you have in life. However, you should not lose hope that you will meet someone else that you will care for. You need to find the ways you can get through during this hard time.
The first thing that you can do is ensuring that you only have supportive people around you. You should avoid feeling like you should stay away from people and deal with this on your own. Going through a tough breakup is the time that you will need to be surrounded by supportive people. Take the time to open up and tell those around you what you are feeling and going through.
the best thing for you during this time is cutting off contact completely. After you have broken up, you need to make sure that you do not talk to the other person. If you know that there is no chance you get back together, then this will hurt you even more. If you choose to keep lying to yourself, you are likely going to end up more hurt. This could be the time that you use to heel and deal with the needs that you have.
You also need to prepare yourself to get back out. Avoid the situation where you are sitting at home crying after breaking up. If you are hoping that you are going to find love again, then you will need to give a chance and try with someone else. Once you feel ready, do not be afraid to start dating again. During this time, you will know the partner that will be more suited for you. When you find a partner that is suitable, take the time to learn their secret obsessions and how to make them fall in love with you.
It will be best that you do not dwell on what is already gone. Normally, most people will find themselves sitting and thinking about the good moments shared in the past relationship. This does not mean, however, that you take a lot of time obsessing over someone who you have broken up with. You should concentrate on enjoying every passing moment that you are in. Ensure that you are taking note of the negative thoughts and just let them pass.
Looking for new hobbies is also something that you can do. Ensure that you take this time to find the activities that are of interest to you and fulfill your dreams. There might be the chance that the past relationship was taking up a lot of your time.

Some Bad News. And A Contest! – Hey, Look! A Writer Fellow!
Some Bad News. And A Contest!
Longtime readers of this blog know that I am crazy about Sarah Josepha Hale.
Sarah was the first female magazine editor in America. She was also one of the greatest magazine editor’s in America, transforming the struggling Godey’s Lady’s Book into the most widely read magazine in 19th century America. She used this magazine as a bully pulpit to promote positive change: charitable giving, healthy living, patriotic causes, college educations for women, and—most famously—a nationalized Day of Thanksgiving.
And she did all of this while raising five kids as a widowed, single mother.
Seriously, just how awesome is that?
Sarah’s life and achievements dazzle me; that’s why I wrote my first picture book about her. Sarah Gives Thanks was published in 2012 by Albert Whitman and Company and it remains one of my happiest and proudest achievements.
Unfortunately, Sarah Gives Thanks is going out of print.
I recently received word from Albert Whitman that Sarah will not get another hardcover print run—and a softcover edition appears unlikely.
I know this is the way things go in publishing, but it breaks my heart a little. I loved writing about Sarah Hale and I love talking about her at schools, in bookstores, and on the radio. I wanted (and continue to want) to spread the awesomeness about this little known American hero.
So welcome to the “So Long, Sarah” Book Contest!

I know of, but not as much detail as you presented. Thanks.
Well, try to get the book and you’ll learn more. Gimmie an interesting historical fact to enter the contest.
As a PhD student in 1963, Dr. Lerner taught was is considered to be the first women’s history course in the world at the New School in New York City. Later, in the early 1970s, while teaching at Sarah Lawrence College, Lerner created the first graduate program in Women’s History and focused her efforts on making the field a respected academic discipline while also raising the status of women historians. In 1980, she created the nation’s first Ph.D. program in women’s history at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where she later became professor emerita.
Lerner’s interest in justice was greatly influenced by her early life having been born into a Austrian-Jewish family in 1920. After Germany annexed Austria in 1938, Lerner’s father learned that he was going to be arrested. Lerner and her mother were held by the Gestapo for several weeks though the Nazis apparently never learned of her involvement in the anti-Nazi resistance. After her father sold his Austrian assets, the Gestapo released the family and they were able to escape. Lerner immigrated to the U.S. in 1939.
There you go, AJ! You’re in the contest!
To all strong WOMEN out there, enter this contest to keep Sarah Josepha Hale’s memory alive.
Aaaaand, you got and extra two ballots!
I’m sure it feels like you’re losing a piece of yourself with this. Would the publisher give you back your rights so you could republish it on your own if you wanted to?
It’s certainly possible, for I do own the copyright to SGT.
Done done and done! I linked your post on FB as well. :o) Can’t you publish it yourself on Amazon or other platforms? I know on Amazon it’s super easy.
And *another* ballot! You are on fire, AJ! Maybe I should just give you all three books!
Lol, no I just want 1! ;o) But if you can’t find anymore takers, I’ll make sure the right people get the other two.
Sorry to hear about Sarah’s out of print demise. Sniff! I’m glad I have a copy of the book. It’s a beautiful book.
The news is sniff-worthy. Thank you, my friend!
Thomas Edison said “To invent you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” In his pile of junk was elephant hide which was used to prevent machine parts from rubbing. Yes, you guessed correctly – I was at Thomas Edison’s lab yesterday. Sorry to hear about Sarah. It’s a great book!
Ah, I took my boy to Edison’s lab last spring. It’s a great place. And, dang, the sound quality of those cylinder records is amazing!
Oh, and yer in the contest!
And if you win, I’ll take you out to lunch. I miss breaking bread with you, my friend!
Thanks for the bit of history and so sorry to hear that Sarah is going out of print. Can you self-publish her? Those books don’t go out of print, you know. 🙂 Great contest, Mike. Some kid or library is going to be extremely lucky!
Self publishing is a possibility, yes, and one worth considering in partnership with David Gardner, the illustrator.
And hold on, now. Aren’t’cha gonna enter the contest?
Okay, I just read the instructions! A little known historical fact about my notorious ancestors. In 1638 in the Plymouth Colony, Arthur Peach (I’m named after Arthur Wallace Peach) was an 18-year-old runaway servant and leader of a 4-member gang – The Peach Gang. They murdered and robbed a Native American man for his tobacco and his coat. They were caught and tried, but the law at the time was unclear about whether white men could be convicted of murdering an Indian. Fortunately, sanity prevailed and they were found guilty, and since they lacked any lands, good, or cattle to pay for their crime, they were sentenced to be “hanged by the neck until their bodies were dead.” The hanging was carried out on September 4th, 1638.
Wow! Now THAT is interesting!
My great aunt was the private nurse of John Arbuckle – coffee magnate during the late 1800s. When he died she inherited some of the Arbuckle china, not a complete set but plates from a variety of patterns. I was curious about him and did quite a bit of research on him. He was quite an impressive man and was involved in many things including being a trust buster, breaking up monopolies in sugar and towing. He was also a philanthropist and had several projects that helped the needy and aged.
One project involved giving the needy evening trips on his ships, rooms were fitted out for dining and recreational facilities so that they could enjoy a good meal and fresh air, away from the noise, hustle and bustle and poor air of the city.
Another possibility for the dishes is that Aruckle Coffee would include coupons which would be collected and then redeemed for household goods. Much like how my parents and grandparents used to collect Blue Chip stamps they received at the grocery store and redeem books for household goods. Now I don’t know if the dishes my great aunt was given were from Arbuckle’s private collection, from the ships for the needy or from the coupons in coffee but it does make a very interesting story.
I know all of this is interesting and there is quite a bit of supposition in this tale so you might be wondering what was the historical fact…the air was so bad that Arbuckle felt a need to help people escape for fresh air. And to prove this was a fact, I’ll end with a video clip of NYC in 1911 which demonstrates the poor quality of the air…and that’s a fact!
One last thing before the video clip. During the time of the video, my grandfather was a runner (transported money) for a broker to the stock exchange and used those very trolleys…how cool is that!
How cool is that? Very cool. I remember you telling me an abridged version of this story many moons ago. It dazzled me then, too.
I think there is a book in there somewhere. Did your great aunt keep a diary or tell you lots of stories about Arbuckle?
Never met her and she did not keep a diary. I only know what I researched and what my aunt passed on to me. But there is quite a bit of info about him just searching the internet.
Winston Churchill drank booze almost all day long, even in the morning.
Marie Antoinette was actually gluten intolerant, and therefore would have never suggested eating cake.
Speaking of Marie, the guillotine was last used as a mainstream execution method after the first Star Wars movie was produced. It was then (thankfully) put to sleep.
Andrew Jackson is the reason the Democrats have a donkey as their symbol. Because for a time, the main party was the Democratic-Republican party, which split into the two main parties today. The D-R party was conservative, and Jackson was a member. The press hated him, calling him a…donkey. To spite them, Andy made it the symbol of his political party.
Marie Antoinette was gluten intolerant?! Are you bamboozling me, Kid?
Well, all this info is amazing. Needless to say, you are entered in the contest!
I’m gonna have to get a list of your sources, Erik.
Maine was established as an antislavery state. It separated from Massachusetts in 1820 and was admitted to the union to balance proslavery Missouri. The state continued to play a role in defeating slavery going forward. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” at Brunswick, Maine, with the book stoking antislavery sentiment leading up to the Civil War.
Awesome and interesting info! Good luck in the contest!
I mentioned your contest on twitter, @HeyJali, and added a plea to buy copies that remain.
Awesome, Jenn! You get two ballots in the drawing!
In 1926, Arctic explorer Peter Freshen was trapped under an avalanche while on an expedition. He escaped from death by fashioning a shiv out of his own feces and amputating his foot.
Ew. Is that true? If it is, I might need to give you an extra ballot.
Alas, they never found the post, and “valuable stuff”. My mom sold the property after my dad passed away in 1993!
Dang! Your Dad’s instincts were terrible. If I ever found a safe in my house, my first instinct would be to claim the contents (God bless that safe smith for handing the card over). My next instinct would be to grab a shovel and get digging.
Wow! You should poke around the internet to see if the video is lurking about.
In 1933 an assassination was made on the life of President Roosevelt while giving a speech in Florida. While Roosevelt was not injured, the mayor of Chicago was killed and four bystanders injured.
Good ‘n’ interesting. You get two ballots!
I can’t give you extra chances for extra facts — but those facts are appreciated!
Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women and many other books, lived just a few towns away from where I live now in MA. A tour of her house, the Orchard House, is absolutely fascinating. The first story she wrote was for Ralph Waldo Emerson‘s daughter! And Louisa’s pen name was Flora Fairfield. She and her family were quite industrious but also quite poor. When she finally published Little Women under her own name, she found financial success. But she published a lot of stories under other names first.
Louisa’s story of writing and working and publishing is inspirational to all of us writers. I’m so sad about your book not being printed anymore by the publisher, but agree with many others here. Self-publish it yourself with the illustrator!
I consider myself very fortunate to have a beautiful copy of your book Sarah Gives Thanks.
I didn’t know Alcott had a pen name! Do you know if her earlier titles were republished under her real name after she hit it big with Little Women?
Anyhoo, this is an Interesting Fact! You get a ballot.
And I am considering the self-publish route, but I’ll need quite a bit more research into the matter before taking the plunge.
That makes sense. I wish I used a pen name when I was in my 20s.
I had to share some interesting history about The “Napoleon of the West,” Santa Anna.
Did you know that Santa Anna helped to introduce chewing gum to the United States? While in exile in Staten Island, Santa Anna imported a chewy, rubber-like substance harvested from Mexican sapodilla trees—chicle. When Santa Anna’s personal secretary and interpreter showed the material to friend Thomas Adams, the amateur inventor was intrigued and thought he could use it to produce a rubber substitute. With the help of Santa Anna, who hoped the experiments would result in a windfall that could finance a return to power, Adams spent $30,000 in an unsuccessful attempt to vulcanize the chicle. While that venture failed, however, Adams successfully added flavorings and sweeteners to the plant to create “rubber chewing gum.” The chewing gum company started by Adams would become one of the largest in the country.
You heard it here first, everyone. Santa Anna is indirectly responsible for vandalizing millions of school desks.
That’s awesome history, Julie! You’re entered in the contest!
What a bummer about your book not being reprinted.
Narcissa Whitman and Eliza Spaulding were the first two white women to cross the Continental Divide (Rocky Mountains) on July 4, 1836. They were missionaries who along with their husbands traveled 1,800 miles over rough terrain, terrible weather, starvation, illness and Indian threats to set up a mission to spread the Word of God to the natives. The two couples split up, with the Spaldings heading for Idaho while Narcissa and her husband traveled to a settlement near present-day Walla Walla, Washington, where they established a mission for the Cayuse Indians. Narcissa cared for orphaned children in their home. In 1847, a measles outbreak took the lives of many natives, and they blamed it on Narcissa and her husband. I don’t need to tell the ending. I read a piece of historical fiction that was loosely based on their story, but with different names.
Dang, that’s a compelling story. I had never heard of Narcissa.
And you’re entered in the contest, Patricia!
So, I can’t prove this except through my mother’s story, but here goes. Mom was eight years old during The Dust Bowl in Bristol, Colorado. Of course, times were tough. My grandfather had the last available watering hole in ~ guessing here ~ about a hundred mile radius. Cows all around his farm were dropping like proverbial flies. One day he went inside, and said to my grandmother, “If we have water, our neighbors have water,” and he cut down the fence around the water.
It’s the small bits of history that no one has heard about that sometimes need to be shouted so people remember kindness and generosity.
You should totally write a Little House on the Prairie-style book about your dustbowl-era relatives. I would buy the heck outta that story!
And, yowzers, a Facebook AND a blog post! You, my raven shape-shifting friend, get FOUR ballots!
Posted on my blog and on Facebook! Dang it all. How can they do this?
I’m not sure, but they sure did it!
Reblogged this on Up From the Ashes.
SO glad I found you again Mike! I was wondering why there were no posts in my Inbox but I figured you were just taking another sabbatical. I have taken care of the little error WordPress did… grr!
I contacted the WP Happiness Engineers to let them know about your situation so it wouldn’t happen again.
And I’m so glad your back!
Now that you’re back, don’t forget the enter the contest!
Did you know that the first ice cream parlor in America opened in 1776? Dolly Madison served ice cream at the White House Inaugural Ball in 1813. She first tasted it in Wilmington, Delaware where the recipe was created by a free Black woman, Aunt Sally Shad.
I Tweeted my disappointment to Whitman and asked for a paperback.
Did you really contact AW&Co? ‘Cause if ya did, you get FIVE ballots in the raffle!
Yes, I did. I don’t kid around about customer complaints! And I copied your agent on it, too, although I don’t think she repped you for that one.
I can be relentless. Ha!
Oh, you are wonderful. If AW decides to issue a paperback, I’m gonna give you residuals.
The first woman who was not a member of the monarchy to appear on British currency was Elizabeth Fry. The Quaker prison reformer was on the back of a 5-pound banknote between 2002 and 2017. Elizabeth Fry was instrumental in making British prisons more humane in the 1800s. Among her reforms: creation of a school for children in prison with their mothers (in those days, if a woman was imprisoned, with or without a trial, her children were imprisoned with her); and assistance for women prisoners being transported to Australia. Women prisoners sent to Australia with no resources whatsoever often ended up being forced into prostitution in order to survive. Elizabeth Fry taught them to sew before they left, and arranged that each woman had a bag of supplies that she could use to make things for sale after she arrived in the colony. Elizabeth Fry is one of my heroes because she just put herself out there by going into the prisons, and starting right away to do practical, useful things to help people.
Holy cow. I think I just found the subject of my next nonfiction picture book.
And you get a ballot in the contest. Thanks so much for commenting, Virginia!
Happened upon this too late but what an interesting concept. Kudos to you!

When a task-based route gets created and released, it does not necessarily go away. The hardware resources associated with the route are released, but the configuration might remain so that glitches are minimized.
By default, all tristate buffers associated with I/O connector terminals are disabled. When a task-based route with a destination on the I/O connector is released, the tristate buffer associated with the I/O connector terminal is not disabled. This means that even though the route was released, glitches are minimized on the destination terminal on the I/O connector. If you do not want this behavior, you can disable the tristate buffer associated with the I/O terminal with the Tri-State Output Terminal function/VI. Or, if you initially created the route by exporting a signal with the Export Signal function/VI, you can also disable the tristate buffer by calling the Export Signal function/VI with the same signal name but with an empty string as the output terminal. Putting the terminal back into a tristate mode is necessary if an external signal must be connected to the I/O terminal. If the terminal is not tristated first, double driving the terminal damages the hardware.
All other connectors, such as the RTSI connector, use a different rule. When the task-based route associated with the RTSI connector is released, the tristate buffer associated with the RTSI terminal is disabled. The RTSI bus is a public bus that is shared by multiple devices. All drivers using the RTSI bus assume that all devices on the bus are tristated. The I/O connector is different because you have full control of it. You must keep track of which terminals are tristated or being driven by internal or external signals.

Synopsis : Clinical trials are research studies in which people help doctors find ways to improve health and cancer care.
Most people don't know much about clinical trials, according to surveys across all races and groups.
Many members of the Hispanic community fear and distrust doctors, hospitals, and medical research. Part of this distrust may have come from the legacy of enforced sterilizations that Latinas experienced before World War II in Puerto Rico.
These views can prevent them from getting checked for diseases such as cervical cancer, which they develop at a higher rate than women of other racial/ethnic groups. With regular Pap tests and pelvic examinations this disease can be largely prevented and cured.
And this distrust may also keep Hispanics from taking part in clinical trials. Clinical trials can represent a deeper involvement with a system that many Hispanics not only distrust but may not understand.
Clinical trials are research studies in which people help doctors find ways to improve health and cancer care. People volunteer to help test whether new treatments are safe and effective before doctors make them available to the general public. Many people who join clinical trials say it is because they want to contribute to the research effort to fight cancer.
The Hispanic population is the fastest-growing ethnic group in the United States. It is made up of a mix of ethnic and racial heritages from more than 20 countries. And unless enough Hispanics join clinical trials, researchers may not be able to determine whether all Hispanic cancer patients, present and future, will benefit from the advances being tested.
There are other barriers besides fear that can keep members of the Hispanic community from taking part in clinical trials.
All of the information, forms and instructions can be overwhelming, and this can be especially true for members of the Hispanic community who do not speak English. Fortunately, most places where trials are being conducted have Spanish-language forms and education aids available, as well as translators.
The Hispanic community is very diverse, but some beliefs permeate the culture. Resignation often follows a cancer diagnosis, driven by a belief in fatalism. Hispanic women may be uncomfortable receiving care from male providers. Fears of getting a placebo, or "sugar pill," or of being used as a "guinea pig" persist.
Lack of insurance can be a major barrier to Hispanics considering whether to join these studies. However, some costs are paid by the trial's sponsors, and additional costs to the patient in a trial are usually no greater than the cost of standard care. Where insurance does not cover the cost, participants may be able to make arrangements with the clinical trial staff.
Many hospitals and cancer centers are working hard to make changes that make it easier for Hispanic patients to take part in clinical trials. Bilingual patient navigators and translation services can help patients understand consent forms and other materials. Members of the billing office or social workers can help patients with cost concerns. And patients who may have problems with transportation, childcare, and other family challenges can often find community programs that can help.
The NCI Web site has a wealth of information about clinical trials how they work and what patients can expect. Visit cancer.gov and click on Clinical Trials to find free brochures. You can order a free DVD by searching for the NCI Publications Locator, and then searching for Item Q021. You can also see a video on YouTube, or call 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) to learn more.
For those who prefer using the computer, you can also chat live with a cancer information specialist by visiting www.cancer.gov/help. The LiveHelp Online Chat service is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Or you may choose to email a cancer information specialist using the form available at www.cancer.gov/contact. Any of these resources may help you decide whether to look for or to join a clinical trial.

According to a study carried out on by of the National Bank of Belgium the results of a no-deal Brexit won’t be catastrophic for the Belgian economy. Nevertheless, our country’s economy will be impacted to some extent, even in the long term. The man that carried out the research for the National Bank of Belgium, Patrick Bisciari, told journalists that “Our country will feel a greater impact than the average EU member state, but it won’t be immensely greater. The impact in the long term will remain reasonable”.
Patrick Bisciari published an overview of existing studies on the effects of Brexit from experts at institutions such as the London School of Economics, the IMF and the Catholic University of Leuven (KUL). He then took the median value of the impact predicted by all the studies.
With the exception of Ireland and Luxembourg, Belgium with be the EU 27 country that is hit the hardest by Brexit. This is the case whether or not the UK leaves with under the terms of a Brexit agreement. However, Mr Bisciari concludes that the difference in the level of impact between Belgium and the two countries that will be hardest hit is quite large.
The impact on Belgium is more comparable to that on Cyprus or The Netherlands.
Nevertheless, the IMF predicts a loss of 0.9% of GDP for Belgium as a result of a no deal Brexit. This is only slightly higher than the predicted average impact on GDP for the EU as a whole.
Not surprisingly, the negative impact will be greatest on the UK economy.
