While this mindset toward practice management and non-clinical time may have been acceptable in the past, in 2015 this traditional strategy puts the group at risk to fail or, at the very least, not define its own success. Increasing demands that physician anesthesiologists demonstrate their value require that we re-examine our strategies and resources for managing practices. The purpose of this article is to describe how anesthesiology practice management infrastructure needs have evolved, explain why anesthesiology practices must devote resources to what in the past may have been defined as “non-clinical work,” and identify specific “value-added” tactics practices can adopt.

When most of the books you read are borrowed from the library via your Kindle, you don’t know always know when you’re going to read what. On occasion, the book you’re interested in is available right away (for example, I recently enjoyed The Giver Quartet by Lois Lowry on demand), but often, you don’t know when you’ll be reading any given book.
Then one day you get an email saying that the digital item you placed on hold is now available—or, even better, has been automatically checked out to you. It gives your reading life a certain delightful unpredictability.
So with lukewarm enthusiasm and slightly above average expectations, I clicked the “Download” button—and started in on the magic.
The joke was on me. This is not your typical self help book. It is full of surprises and, yes—delightfully unpredictable. If I had preconceived notions about the content, they were wrong. Big Magic made me question some long-held beliefs in a gentle, light way. It inspired. And it made me say “yes!” more than once.
And because I must always be writing about something or else I will go mad, I decided to write about that—that is, to chronicle what was going on in my real life, as a way of sorting through its complications and revelations.
I also enjoyed Gilbert’s discussion about makers—and that all of us, if we go back far enough in our family history, are decedents of makers.
Go back far enough and you will find people who were not consumers, people who were not sitting around passively waiting for stuff to happen to them. You will find people who spent their lives making things.
“…who were not sitting around passively waiting for stuff to happen to them.” Wow. What a powerful reminder to take charge of your life—to make something, anything! It’s in our DNA, so why not?
Gilbert believes that creativity has intrinsic value. The result doesn’t have to be good—and it certainly doesn’t have to be perfect. We don’t even have to save the world with our creativity. Whew!
This is a book for all creatives—and according to Gilbert, that’s all people. I recommend you give it a shot, even if you, like me, have vowed not to read another self help book.
Big Magic is so much more.

For the first time, Shatta Wale has ‘confessed’ the reason why he is always jabs Stonebwoy in a new interview.
The pair has engaged in one of the fiercest rivalries in the history of Ghana music and it looks like it won’t stop anytime soon as it was ignited recently by both parties in separate interviews on Hitz FM recently.
And in a new interview, Shatta Wale finally told us why he always jabs Stonebwoy with or without any provocation.
Speaking in an interview on Abusua FM with Austine Woode, Shatta Wale said Stonebwoy should understand and appreciate that the jibes sometimes he takes at him is part of the music industry antics and he should appreciate it as such and nothing personal.
He should know that it’s like a boxing bout where your opponent can’t hit you where it will hurt you most so you shouldn’t complain about your opponent hurting you too much.
He’s always been saying in interviews that he is better than me and that he’s won this or that award so I also want to prove I’m the best among the lot.
When Woode reminded him that the best way he could go about his ‘grievances’ was to do it lyrically, Shatta Wale quickly retorted that’s the style he has adopted and that he can’t do anything about it.

I hadn’t run for about 10 years, and then at age 45 I decided to start running again to get into shape.

So, I just finished the second section of Christopher Vogler’s The Writer’s Journey. It’s a thorough break down of the different characters and stages that make up the Heroic Journey and uses film for examples. I thoroughly enjoyed the read in part because it was packed full of insights and ideas. It doesn’t read much like a book but more like a collection of insights, suggestions, and warnings that every storyteller wishes they had before they started.
Now, if you’re going to do anything about storytelling, you will very quickly encounter Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Along with Aristotle’s Poetics, these texts are the deepest roots of western storytelling structural analysis. They both address the structure of stories. They’re also both pretty old. Aristotle’s Poetics dates from around 335 BC. Joseph Campbell published in 1946. Vogler’s book takes his understanding of Campbell’s work and sets it into a modern framework.
This approach to storytelling focuses almost exclusively on structure. Every part of an effective story has a purpose. If I tell a story in which I mention that my mom’s 5’2”, that’s only interesting if later on I describe her tendency to look at tall houseguests with big sad eyes and ask them to take things down from the top shelf of her kitchen cabinets because she cannot reach them. Knowing her height gives you a mental image. Describing the way she talks to these hapless guests tells you something about how she acts in the world.
In my last post, I mentioned a three part structure to all stories. Well, the Heroic Journey has a whopping 12 steps.
The language alone indicates that Campbell was thinking about epic journeys, mythology, and even fairy tales when he developed this model. But how can it be useful today and for something less complicated and peopled than, say Star Wars or the Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter?
For your stories, it gives a rough model you can follow in developing your long or short story. Let’s rename the stages.
Not all of these sections will receive equal treatment in every story, but most of them will come up one way or another.
What’s really interesting now is to keep this model in mind the next time you watch a movie on Netflix or read a story to your kids at night or even tell an anecdote yourself. Can you identify any or all of the parts of the heroic journey?
If you’d like to learn more, Vogler has a website for The Writer’s Journey that’s chocked full of information. There are some great analysis out there of different movies in terms of the heroic journey. This very graphic version at Venngage analyzes six films at once. Enjoy!

For geologists, North America is carved up into smaller chunks of crust, which in technical-speak are called “physiographic provinces.” Each of these subdivisions is identified by its own unique topology, history, rock-types and whatnot. Imagine a really easy continental jigsaw puzzle that only has a handful of pieces, and that’s more-or-less what we’re talking about.
The Colorado Plateau, where I’ve spent a great deal of my life, is a classic example of a physiographic province. This massive swath of land — some 130,000 square miles in extent — was uplifted thousands of feet above sea level during the Laramide Orogeny, as the subducted Farallón Plate scraped along the underside of the North American continent between 70 million and 40 millions years ago.
Of course, this profile contrasts greatly with those of adjacent provinces such as the tilted Rocky Mountains, the relatively young Basin and Range, and the magma-driven Rio Grande Rift. Look at a physiographic map of the United States, and you’ll see neat and clean boundaries drawn between these vast tracts of the American West.
But drive through any portion of the Colorado Plateau, and you’ll quickly find that the above-mentioned rules-of-thumb seem only to have been made for breaking. Not only are the boundaries of the Plateau rather fuzzy; the heart of the province is absolutely riven with anomalies.
In Moab, for instance, the dark volcanic triangles of the La Sal Mountains jut abruptly from the cinnabar cliffs of the Wingate and Entrada sandstones. Then there’s the Upheaval Dome over in Canyonlands, which is believed to be the result of subterranean salt concentrating into a sort of plume and rising upwards by dint of its low density. Never mind the hogback spine that crosscuts the Morrison White Cliffs just north of Gallup, or the whorled gneisses and schists down in the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
You have to wonder (and then, hopefully, research in-depth…) when the lines were drawn initially? How did geologists manage to look beyond the details to see a sort of “average” Colorado Plateau? How was it they were able to zoom out, blur their eyes, and then to make out an entity that hangs together in spite of innumerable local contradictions? How did they chisel out the signal from the noise?
Another of the Province’s great oddities — and this is actually what got me thinking about these questions in the first place — is the San Rafael Swell. Though certainly tiny compared to the entire Colorado Plateau (a mere 40 miles by 70 miles), The Swell is a formidable structure nevertheless. An incredible skyward swoop of bulging earth that makes cars and people alike seem like shivering pixels. It’s steeper on the east than the west, like a 2,500-foot-tall wave frozen on the cusp of breaking.
I first laid eyes on The Swell last fall. Me and Mag were blasting east down I-70 vaguely on our way to Albuquerque from Seattle, buzzing through the open land at 85 miles an hour, enthralled by the molten scenery flowing past. Deep green juniper tracers, spectacular road-cuts seamed with dark coal and limned with what I imagined to be yellowcake, summersaulting clouds, white lines ticking like a femtosecond metronome.
At a certain point, the asphalt begins a precipitous climb, and suddenly there’s a scenic pullout every few miles clotted with motorists, each fancying themselves the next Ansel Adams, ourselves included.
I-70 bisects The Swell east-west such that there’s an awful lot of photogenic terrain both to the north and to the south as you wend your way through. All along you’re afforded postcard views of The Swell’s severely eroded center. Gaping canyons, muddy rivulets and ponds cradled in clay, untold leagues of many-splendored cliff faces.
It is sunset as we arrive at the zenith of the route — the inflection point at which the anticline’s curve steepens and bows downward into its own violet shadow. A final pitstop. We disembark, hike a few meters beyond the informational signage and gaze into our future.
The view below recalls a severe gravitational distortion of spacetime. Massive walls of red and white-banded stone converging on a single point, where, as it happens, the constricted capillary of highway is also going. Think Renaissance perspective around an arbitrarily chosen vanishing point, tilted layers narrowing like railroad tracks under pitch blue skies. All things pulled towards the cosmic drain. A black hole in the desert — very un-Plateau-like indeed.
Soon, that will be us. Racing like a tachyons through that plummeting coil of road as it hurtles towards pinprick darkness and shrinks ever more towards the singularity, towards the Alpha-Omega. The suspense is palpable.
Speaking of the Alpha-Omega, isn’t it odd that They should have fashioned us in this manner? That we should have been able to discern so many different orders from the selfsame chaos over time? That we should be able to draw lines in so many different ways?
Furthermore, it seems downright absurd that we should learn to deem some details superfluous and others essential, and that this should confer advantage. Why should it profit us to percolate the world through so many psycho-sensory sieves — so many cognitive biases and blindspots and egoistic gymnastics. Wouldn’t we be better off sucking up all the data we possibly could?
Alas, there seems to be a trade-off. We cannot, evidently, have the cake of limitless, unfiltered data and eat it too. In order to make lines and establish order, we must not only create divisions, but we must throw stuff out as well. Even inconsistencies as glaring as the San Rafael Swell — not to mention the tumescent dike swarm which birthed it from below — must be razed and paved over sometimes.
When we’re trying to make sense of the continent’s large-scale history, we must insist the Colorado Plateau is flat, 70 million years old and dominated by sedimentary strata. Otherwise we are paralyzed by sensory overload.
Looking down over the eastern slope of The Swell, eyes sucked from their sockets in asymptotical trajectories, I feel dizzy and divided. On the one hand, in know very well that I’m smack-dab in the middle of the Colorado Plateau.
On the other hand, though, I know that if I were to strike out into the wilderness from this scenic pullout, lots of the generalizations geologists make about the region as a whole wouldn’t be of much help as I tried to navigate locally. In that situation, the exception suddenly (and magically?) becomes the rule.
In a sense, then, there is more than one world here. Discordant universes forced to occupy the same plane of existence — the same brane, as the string theorists say. We can pass readily from one to the other, but only via willful ignorance. How many more worlds will I find? How many more paradoxes can I hold in my head before it explodes?

It is really frustrating to have puffy eyes especially when you have a big day ahead. Puffy eyes or under eyes bags is the most common cosmetic problem faced by many people. They make you look tired, ill and aged.
Lack of sleep is the main culprit behind puffy eyes. Apart from that allergy, dehydration, medications, hormonal imbalance, smoking, alcohol consumption, dust, pollution, exposure to bright lights, water retention, iron deficiency, low blood sugar and hereditary also contribute to the under eye bags.
If you have puffy eyes along with high fever, pink eyes, redness and burning sensation, then consult a doctor as soon as possible. In normal cases, puffy eyes can be treated easily with simple home remedies.
Natural home remedies like cucumber, aloe vera, milk and potato which are easily available at home can be very effective in treating puffy eyes. However, in this article let me provide more information on cucumber for puffy eyes.
Does Cucumber Really Help To Reduce Puffy Eyes?
The ascorbic and caffeic acids present in cucumber restrict the water retention under the eyes which reduces the puffiness.
Cucumbers are rich in astringent properties which reduce the sagging of skin and increase its elasticity.
Sometimes, puffiness can be accompanied with irritation. The soothing and cooling properties are thought to reduce irritation and tired look.
The antioxidants and flavonoids in cucumbers soothe inflammation in the eye area and reduce swelling.
There are several ways of using cucumber for treating puffy eyes. We have provided a detailed step-by-step process below for your convenience.
Chilled cucumber slices provide an instant relief to the redness, heat and irritation associated with puffy eyes.
Take a cool cucumber from the refrigerator. (Cool one cucumber if you do not have a chilled one).
Slice two pieces large enough to sit on your eyes.
Close your eyes and place cucumber slice on them.
Let them rest for 15 – 20 minutes.
Remove and pat your eyes dry.
Do this once in the morning and once in the evening till the puffiness comes down.
Take a cool cucumber and grate it.
Now put this grated cucumber on and under your eyes.
Let this sit for 5-10 minutes or till your eyes feel cold.
Pat your eyes dry (do NOT rub).
Blend one cucumber, extract its juice and let it cool in the fridge.
Now soak 2 cotton buds in the chilled cucumber juice.
Place these buds on your closed eyes and rest for 10 minutes.
Remove the buds and pat your eyes dry.
Do this 2 times a day for fresh feeling eyes.
Potatoes contain catecholase which reduces the water retention under the eyes. Potatoes also have anti-inflammatory properties which can have a cooling effect on your eyes.
Mix 2 tablespoons each of cucumber juice and potato juice.
Soak a small cotton swab in this solution and apply it under your eyes.
Close your eyes and rest for a couple of minutes.
Wash your eyes with cool water and pat them dry.
Alternative Method: You can dip few cotton swabs in cucumber juice, refrigerate them by placing them in a zip lock bag. Once they are cold, you can take 2 swabs each time and place them on eyes for few minutes and pat dry.
Vitamin C present in lemon shrinks blood vessels and reduces the accumulation of water under the eyes.
Combine equal amounts of cucumber and lemon juice.
Dip a swab of cotton into this mixture.
Rub it gently all over your eyes and under it.
Let it sit for about 20-25 minutes.
Wash your eyes with cool water.
Make sure you close your eyes at the time of application. Lemon juice can cause burning and irritation if it enters the eyes.
Alternatively, you could squeeze a lemon on a slice of cucumber and place them on your eyes for a while.
Rosewater is known for its anti-inflammatory property which helps in the reduction of swelling and redness under the eyes.
Mix 1 tablespoon each of cucumber juice and rose water.
Dip a cotton swab into this mixture.
Aloe Vera contains vitamin E which helps in the prevention of wrinkles whereas the antioxidants present in it will reduce the swelling.
Take about 4oz of Aloe Vera extract and mix it with 2 tablespoons of cucumber juice.
Put this paste into a small zip lock bag and put it into the fridge for an hour.
Apply this mixture to your eyes using a cotton bud before going to bed.
Wash your eyes with cool water the next morning.
Repeat until the puffiness fades away.
Coconut oil promotes blood circulation which reduces the water retention under the eyes. The fatty acids present in coconut oil hydrates the skin under the eyes and reduces the wrinkles.
In a blender, add a cucumber, ¼ cup of aloe vera extract, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 2-3 drops of carrot essential oil.
Blend the ingredients to a smooth paste.
Pour the mixture into an ice tray and freeze it.
Take 2 cubes of the frozen mixture and slowly massage your eyes with them.
Splash your eyes with cool water and then pat dry.
Repeat this process every morning.
Mix equal amounts of cucumber juice and orange juice.
Dip two swabs of cotton in the mixture and put it on your eyes.
Let the swabs sit for 20 minutes before washing your eyes with cool water.
Green tea is known for its antioxidants which help in the removal water retained under the eyes. Green tea contains anti-irritation properties which help in the reduction of redness, swelling and irritation associated with puffy eyes.
Make some green tea and cool it down.
Immerse two slices of cucumber in this tea and put it in the fridge for an hour.
Now place the slices on your eyes for about 10-15 minutes.
Remove the slices and wash your eyes with cool water.
Repeat this once a day regularly.
Chamomile tea has anti-inflammatory properties which reduce the swelling under the eyes. It also provides a refreshing feeling to your eyes.
Mash up a couple of cucumber slices.
Mix the mashed cucumber with a tablespoon of honey and ½ teaspoon of the chamomile tea.
Add 1 tablespoon of Aloe Vera to the mixture and stir well.
Apply some of this mixture to your eyes like a face pack.
Leave it for about 15-20 minutes before washing off with cold water.
The cooling and soothing properties of yogurt help to reduce the swelling under the eyes and provides a refresh look to them.
Mix 2 tablespoons of cucumber juice, and 2 tablespoons of yogurt.
Keep the mixture in the fridge for an hour.
Now take the mixture out and apply it to the eyes and let it sit for 20 minutes.
Wash your face with cool water and pat dry with a cotton cloth.
Milk has astringent properties which aid in the reduction of the puffiness under the eyes. Lauric acid present in milk calms the swollen eyes and provides a cooling effect.
Blend 1 cucumber into fine paste.
Mix 1 tablespoon of this paste with 1 tablespoon of milk powder.
Apply this paste to your eyes and let it sit for about 20 minutes.
Apples can de-stress your eyes, cool them, reduce swelling, and even help you get rid of dark circles around your eyes.
Blend ½ cucumber and ½ apple into a thick paste.
Add 1 tablespoon of oats to it and mix well.
Close your eyes and apply this mixture on them.
Wash off the pack with warm water.
The above mentioned remedies might not suit all skin types. So it is better to get a patch test done before you use any of the remedies.
Make sure to close your eyes during the application of any face pack. In the event of the mixture or any juice enters your eyes, quickly splash cold water on your eyes and visit your doctor if the burning persists.
Reduce your alcohol consumption. Alcohol can dilute blood and increase the blood circulation resulting in a puffy face.
Drink plenty of water. Water can clear out toxins and any excess waste from your body. Including from your face.
If your job involves you to work with a computer, every 15-20 minutes look at something far away from your system so that your eyes do not get strained and tired.
Stress and crying is a leading reason for puffy eyes. Try to de stress by working out or going for a jog out in the open.
Try to get plenty of sleep. Sleep prevents water retention under the eyes, so try to get at least 7 – 8 hours of sleep per day.
Sometimes puffy eyes do not go away. In that case, it is advisable to get your thyroid levels checked up. If you have any other queries or suggestions, do write to us in the comment section below.
A friend said to use cucumber and milk does the milk help an anyway?
Will cucumber at normal temperature aid to reduce eyebag as I do not have a chilled cucumber?
Great info! Cucumber remedies work perfectly for Puffy Eyes. I used cucumber and raw potato for treating my puffy eyes and I was able to get rid of them. Thanks for sharing this informative article.

So the election is pretty much over and what have we learned? We have learned that nearly half the country thinks its ok to want and then TAKE what others have worked for. Not IN ADDITION TO what the others have, but to steal it directly and methodically from them against their will. In their minds it is not just a right thing, but it is a noble thing.
Therefore we must acknowledge that half the country does not know Jesus. Scary. This is our mission. More Jesus to more people. This is how we are to serve. It is no more right to steal from the so called rich than to steal from the poor. Jesus expects us to help the poor and the persecuted, regularly and willingly He does not expect that WE demand that our neighbors do it. He also expects us to act responsibly with what He has provided.
As with all things, Jesus is the answer. Help us Lord to keep our eyes on you, to see our own flaws so that we can be humbled by them and give them up to your care. Let the world see your charity and mercy in us as a testimony to You.

Being bought by Facebook for $1 billion, Instagram made the world sit up and take notice of this app that was, until Facebook got involved, used by around 30 million people. They had managed to get that many users in only 551 days, impressive by anyone’s standards, so how did they do it?
First off, they kept their overheads low, employing only 13 people, and kept their headquarters low key rather than splashing out on fancy offices. This allowed the company to focus on growing and improving the app. Next, they managed to get their timing perfect to cash in on the mobile explosion. Starting out on iPhone they moved to Android once that had reached a 50% mobile market share. They spent more time on their app, pretty much ignoring their website and the expense and time it would take to keep that running effectively.
Perhaps one of the keys was how they kept the interface of Instagram junk-free. Attention was paid to the aesthetics, filling it more with emotion than buttons, allowing the image to be the star of the app. While they were at that, they did not try to force users to post their pictures to social networking sites.
Finally, they created a new data set. Every time an Instagram user takes a photo, they record not only the image but also the date, time and location, which was perhaps one of the biggest draws for Facebook who will now be able to quantify what people are taking photographs off.

« Poker Money Management: How Much do You Require to Begin Playing With?
Successfully stealing blinds in Holdem poker is really a secret weapon of quite a few poker pros. Even so, like anything else this can be a learned skill and one that will take as a lot know-how as it does experience.
To be able to consistently rob blinds from your poker competitors you must master these 5 insider poker secrets.
First and foremost it is possible to not win and rob blinds if you might be not an aggressive player. If you are overly conservative and wait for only the finest hands and monsters to bet on you’ll never be able to rob blinds.
On the flip side, if you are too aggressive and attempt to take blinds every time you might receive referred to as and risk losing your chip stack. Decide on your spots.
You also must have a read on your competitors. When I play it only requires a few fingers before I can have a read on my competitors. Occasionally I misread except that is rare.
Once you realize what your competitors do a on a consistent basis you may pick the correct time to go over the top or place a large enough bet to obtain them to fold and grab their blinds.
If you’re wagering at a full table it is greatest to grab blinds when you are on the button. Normally later within a tournament when the blinds are obtaining bigger and far more pricey for individuals to receive into the hand they will fold to you. When that happens lay a bet three-7 times the large blind and watch them fold their blinds to you all day long.
If you might be the short stack stealing blinds could be your saving grace. At the same time, even so, it might be your death.
Should you raise large or go all in for 5 hands within a row someone is bound to call you. So you far better have some thing to wager on with. However, when you do it periodically odds are you’ll rob the blinds on a consistent basis.
When you might be the chip leader go nuts! You will probably be in a position to bully individuals around and rob their blinds almost at will. Sure just about every now and then you’ll get referred to as and beat except you’ll have the chips to gamble with.
Five. Are the Blinds Worth Stealing?
Early in a very tournament or a sit-n-go casino game the blinds are so little that they aren’t worth stealing. Wait until the blinds grown bigger and can truly make a difference to your chip stake.
Finally, bear in mind should you rob the blinds one time close to on a full table you may be in excellent shape. When the blinds start off to rise it is possible to start off to steal much more and seriously make it beneficial to your chip stack.

We have two congregations in the Portland area - one in Portland Oregon and the other congregation in The Dalles Oregon. Portland is famous for roses and Hood River is a major wind surfing location. Portland/Vancouver Area Church Services Services are held each Sabbath 1:00 pm.
We would like to welcome you to the Portland Oregon congregation of the United Church of God!
Jesus Christ taught us “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32 John 8:32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
American King James Version×).” Finding Real truth in today’s confusion of religious teachings brings real freedom, but it can be a challenge. Our goal is to teach and live the whole truth of the Bible and prepare for the coming Kingdom of God. We are following the steps of the Apostle Paul, as in his words we, “…declare to you the whole counsel of God. (Acts 20:27 Acts 20:27For I have not shunned to declare to you all the counsel of God.
We assemble on each weekly Sabbath Day as Jesus and the Apostles did. We keep the annual Holy Days that Jesus, the Apostles and the early New Testament Church kept, and we teach the same doctrines they taught the early New Testament converts.
Our doors are always open. If you seek to better understand the awesome plan of God, come and learn more.

Caroline Wozniacki and Simona Halep meet in the final of the 2018 Australian Open.
Caroline Wozniacki is coming off a straight sets win over Elise Mertens that took 22 games to decide. In the victory, Wozniacki won 84 percent of her first serve points and 53 percent of her second serve points. Wozniacki won a nervous second set tiebreak to advance past the semifinals, and she dropped just seven of 44 first serve points. Wozniacki has been much more improved with her serve in this tournament and has dominated pretty much all 10 of the sets she’s won. However, nerves were clearly an issue in the second set, and it’ll be interesting to see if she can keep those in check here. Wozniacki is in her first grand slam final since the 2014 US Open, and she hopes to win her first career grand slam title. Wozniacki is 0-2 in grand slam final appearances and 22-17 in final appearances on hard court overall. Wozniacki has won 14 of his last 15 matches on hard court.
Simona Halep is coming off a three sets win over Angelique Kerber that took 35 games to decide. In the victory, Halep won 67 percent of her first serve points and 33 percent of her second serve points. Halep could have easily lost her semifinal match after getting down a break in the third set, but she dug deep and showed that she has come a long way in terms of her mental approach under coach Darren Cahill. Halep has battled an ankle injury, a couple of tight matches and has still managed to put herself in a grand slam final with a chance to secure the No. 1 ranking in the world. Confidence has to be high for Halep, but conditioning will be interesting given the long match she just played. Halep is in her first grand slam final since the 2017 French Open, and she hopes to win her first career grand slam title. Halep is 0-2 in grand slam final appearances and 9-5 in final appearances on hard court overall. Halep has won 12 straight matches on hard court.
These two have played six times and Wozniacki has won four of those meetings. The most recent match was in the 2017 WTA Championships, a match Wozniacki won in straight sets. Wozniacki has won the last three meetings against Halep, and her last loss came in the 2015 Dubai Tennis Championships. Three of the six matches have gone the distance. Halep is 2-1 against Wozniacki on outdoor hard court.
Nerves may be the deciding factor in this match, as neither have won a grand slam, and while they’re both established names and are considered some of the best players in the world, a grand slam title adds a little something extra to your resume. And I’m picking Halep to win this match. The only thing that’s been holding Halep back in the past was the mental game, as she’d get so down on herself after a poorly played game and allow it to leak into the rest of the match. Halep has been a lot more positive recently and shows a lot better body language regardless of the score. Halep would already have grand slam titles if this was improved years ago. Wozniacki has been lights out this tournament, but she does have a history of choking in big matches and was showing signs of nerves in her second set of the semifinals. And while Wozniacki loves to run and chase down balls, Halep is one of a few players who can match her fitness and push the pace with her. Halep also has the power advantage on outdoor hard court, proving that her power may be the deciding factor in this match.
Great final and somebody’s career will be changed forever, but I have Halep winning her first major.

For many of us, RuPaul’s Drag Race isn’t just a television show.
It’s a world, an entire universe even, as cinematically rich as Marvel or DC Comics. It’s a language, with new words added all the time — season 10’s Vanessa Vanjie has already given “cookies” new meaning after just one episode.
It’s a celebration and humanization of queer culture on massive platform, one that does not banish it to the Friday night death slot. In fact, Drag Race is given the 8 p.m. Thursday time slot for season 10 (a 2016 Ad Age report and 2017 Hollywood Reporter story listed Thursday 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. as one of its five “toughest TV time slots” in terms of competition).
So yeah, it’s huge. Still though, despite its march toward toward mainstream, not everyone’s heard of Drag Race. So we sat down with all 14 queens competing on the new season — Asia O’Hara, Aquaria, Blair St. Clair, Dusty Ray Bottoms, Eureka O’Hara, Kalorie Karbdashian-Williams, Kameron Michaels, Mayhem Miller, Miz Cracker, Monét X Change, Monique Heart, The Vixen, Vanessa Vanjie Mateo and Yuhua Hamasaki — and had them explain what Drag Race is, as quickly as possible, to someone who’s never before seen the show.

My mom never uttered the words “only white people do that” nor “black folks don’t do that.” That is not the type of house in which we grew up. Those who have known me since elementary school will tell you our house was the household version of the United Nations.
We participated in any activity we wanted to – ice skating, Girl Scouts, swim, hiking, camping, tennis, gymnastics, whatever. My sister…well, her participation was half-hearted because she just didn’t really like most of those activities when we were younger (lol) it had nothing to do with her being Latina! No one in our home ever said we couldn’t do something because of our racial background. And if someone outside our home dared to say something of that manner, mommy set them straight immediately!
Encourage your children AND yourself to try anything that seems interesting to them and to you. Don’t get stuck by who you see or think you don’t see participating. You’ll miss out on a lot of fun.
We have been eating lots of ice cream and Popsicles and taking walks by the Merrimack River AND playing in the park and at the playground often!
We have not yet made it to the farms, but I’m hoping we’ll go later this month OR that while we’re in Atlanta we’ll get to the aquarium.
No public spray parks, but plenty of time in the kiddie pool with friends!
LOTS of mommy-time with friends and then plenty of mommy and kids time with friends also.
WGBH Fun Fest and Lowell Folk Fest were a HUGE hit with the toddler. Now he thinks every weekend is a festival!
Sister will not be able to visit cuz like me, she’s sandwiched and taking care of grandma…but she is going to send me some tamales, which is a good 2nd place replacement.
Unplanned: Heading to Atlanta to check in on ailing mom, which is an adventure for the toddler to be on the plane and an opportunity for us to share that experience with him and for him to see grandpa whom he LOVES and granny who he thinks is his peer!
Not necessarily fun but necessary: Potty-training…anyone have good tips?
WOW! Tuesday my head was spinning from so much news coming in so fast! I was watching 3-5 channels, on my Twitter feed and on Facebook trying to keep up with the Zimmerman trial, Aaron Hernanzez, DOMA, Nelson Mandela…! It was the same way during the chase of the 2 “Boston Marathon Bombing” suspects. I was up at 1 a.m. watching news and reading Tweets to follow the madness. I remember when I first became obsessed with news coverage – I was in college, when Magic Johnson was announcing he has AIDS. Since that day I devoured news like my life depended on it (and sometimes it does). I recall being a college student in California when the Rodney King police office trial was going on, and waiting anxiously for a verdict, which at that time, we could only watch on t.v., no Twitter, Facebook, or internet feeds or updates. Those were sloooooow news dissemination days by today’s standards. Then I got to thinking….
Am I always a critical news consumer? No, but I should be. Especially since I am a mom. I teach my students to be critical consumers of knowledge, including news, and I should do better to do the same.
Acknowledge that all news reporting has biases; even our favorite papers and/or reporters.
Try not to react viscerally (especially in front of small children) to the breaking news of anything. Stories change quickly and the first report is not always the right report. Anyone remember CNN’s coverage of the Gore-Bush election???
A tough one for me: No “hard-hitting” news before work (only weather and traffic) and no news right before bed (switched from 11 p.m. to 6 p.m. broadcast).
If I’m following a breaking story, I look for different perspectives. I have my favorite stations and I check out what my least favorite news reporters are saying also. I cannot teach a class on social welfare policy and only present the CNN, MSNBC perspective…I gotta get the FOX and others side too.
I use Twitter and Facebook not as a primary news source, but as the quickest way to stay ahead of the t.v. folks. On Tuesday the Tweets were flying about Trayvonn Martin’s friend testimony. I got caught up in the madness! A day later more thoughtful responses to her came out….
The disease that quickly took my grandmother’s ability to care for herself and thus took her life; is very slowly and painfully killing my mommy. And all my degrees, years of experience, good intentions & prayers can’t do a thing to stop it.
It’s odd how 1 disease, not diagnosed until post-mortem can manifest itself so differently in different people. On one hand she knows something is happening but isn’t clear what. Tonight, what used to be one of the sharpest dressed women, spent an entire hour looking for a damn hat to wear to church. On the other hand she thinks it might be a nice idea to go back to teaching. Really? She can have my job (LOL).
The pure joy of her grandson is now slightly irritating ( he’s a terrible 2). Food is a painful necessity. Conversations are short and disjointed (sometimes funny or frustrating). 4 hours out of the house results in exhaustion and a shutting down or a semi-hyper/pseudo-psychotic fit.
Folks don’t like to talk about it cuz it’s sad and embarrassing. Which is why there is no cure or identified cause. Alzheimer’s needs a definitive cause and cure.
In 2013 I’ll be blogging weekly to bring awareness (and vent) and writing my Reps for research funding.
If it were your mom what would you do?
Do What Works Best for YOU!!!
When we found out we were going to be parents one of the things we discussed was the amount of unsolicited advice we would receive. We agreed to handle it with grace and openness and take what we wanted to use and leave the rest! I was once one of those young, single, child-less people who had A LOT to say about how people handled their children – Silly me! It is very true (and I teach my students this in various ways) that you cannot really speak on an experience or situation unless you have lived it yourself. Hence my less than gracious attitude lately when people criticize our decisions as parents or say our child is misbehaved. This last one really burns me up!
You are the friends, or auntie, or godmother…whatever your role…you are NOT the parent. Be supportive & understanding. Listen. Offer “advice” only when asked.
Judge if you want to, but be careful about the judgment you might endure yourself.
Ask yourself “Why do I care so much about this issue that I feel the need to offer my advice?” Is the child being harmed? If not, then what you have to say may not matter that much.
Be gracious and firm. Listen to what people say, it may be useful, you may learn something & if not smile and move on.
Immerse yourself in the love and joy of your own family – time flies quickly as I am learning – and in the end….all you got is yourself, your partner, & your child (children). Don’t spend time wallowing in anger over what someone said to you about your parenting style. Go back to #1 on this list.
Empowerment isn’t just for individuals, it applies to couples & families as well. Be an empowered family!
We’ve been under scrutiny for some of the decisions we make – many of which are small things that shouldn’t even matter to anyone else (for example: we try to stick to a schedule of eating & sleeping – it’s important to us – as older parents especially for our sanity & well-being and that of our child….and I shouldn’t even have to explain it, even in a blog!). Anyway…we just keep doing what we know is best for us, try to smile, breathe deeply, laugh about the advice & criticism at home, and keep loving each other and our Miracle Boy!
I challenge you to live YOUR best life, when you do so you have less time to worry about what other people are doing.
Thanks to our friends who let us to what works best for us!

Since the BBC’s famously combative Newsnight host, Jeremy Paxman, interviewed the famously womanizing comedian Russell Brand, in which Paxman grilled Brand for not being “arsed to vote”, the senior broadcaster has admitted he did not vote in a recent election.[i] Paxman, who implicitly cast Brand as the ruling classes’ opponent, occupies a ranked spot in the British Empire’s first division of media propaganda models.
The Combat Paxman propaganda model interviewed Brand following the comedian’s guest-editing role of the Revolution Issue for the British political magazine, the New Statesman.[ii] The television interview, broadcast on October 23 2013, immediately went viral on YouTube, and has reached over 10 million views in two weeks.
At this point in the interview, Russell Brand morphed into angry Terrier Russell. The comedian continued, explaining that his non-voting stance was not “out of apathy”, but rather that he has observed an entrenched political apathy from political elites toward the majority of people.
Terrier Russell stated that political elites were serving the interests of the wealthy and that such a political alignment exacerbated the crises they were causing. According to Terrier Russell, the political elites and the super-rich were: threatening the planet’s ecological health, inflicting misery on a mass underclass in Britain and America, and were exploiting the poverty stricken around the world. Thus, Terrier Russell argued that a revolution was the only way to positively change the world.
It is therefore hilarious to learn that the curious family name of the BBC’s Combat Paxman propaganda model comes from a propagandist effort of one of his ancestors. A BBC genealogy series, Who Do You Think You Are?, found that Paxman was descended from a 14th century politician, Roger Packsman, who changed his name to Paxman to gain favour with his constituency.[iv] Since pax means peace in Latin, his ancestor was on one level claiming to be a ‘man of peace’, at a time when European oligarchic families were feuding over land, castles and the power to rule over as many hapless people as possible.
But, the word pax also refers to a period of ‘universal peace’ due to the dominance of one state power, such as a Pax Romana in the time of the Roman Empire. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Paxman’s ancestor was not trying to forge a peace through redistribution of lands gained through violence, among the common folk who had no voting rights.
It was this documentary that Terrier Russell referred to in his interview with Combat Paxman, wherein the BBC used a scene of Combat Paxman crying when he learned that his poverty-stricken great-grandmother lost her welfare eligibility because she had a child out of wedlock. Terrier Russell tersely reminded Combat Paxman that he had cried because he knew it was unfair and that she, like millions now, was bearing the brunt of the upper classes’ indifference, greed and selfishness.
Terrier Russell argued at the end of his interview (as he did in his New Statesman editorial), that it was necessary to engage this emotional sense of injustice in order to mobilize people to revolt.
Pertinently, the New Statesman’s ‘Revolution Issue’ featured a piece from journalist Naomi Klein, titled “How science is telling us to revolt”.[v] Some scientists argue the impasse to address ecological collapse over the last two decades is evidence that a counterforce of mass revolt is the only way to avoid humanity’s extinction. This, evidentially, is what populations have done when their very survival is threatened.
However, given that since 3600 B.C. there have been over 14,500 major wars, which have abruptly ended the lives of nearly four billion people, the record shows that for the most part, people have been conned into dying so that rulers may continue to rule, whether they are aspirants or incumbents.[vi] It is, therefore, going to be a formidable task to get people to revolt peacefully, just as it will be an incredible challenge to minimize the inevitable violence ordered by oligarchs in control of private armies and nation state elites.
When we consider that capitalism is primarily a private political power system, wherein dominant capitalist groups use their vast financial claims to wealth to maximize their ‘accumulation of power’, it becomes clear that democracy is merely an administrative system for the super-rich, as Russell Brand argued. Indeed, Brand’s view on democracy concurs with the argument presented by two political economists Johnathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler in their book Capital as Power. Nitzan and Bichler state that the super-rich regard both the public and private sectors as two divisions of their system, capitalism.
It is no surprise, then, that so many newspaper articles that dismissed the comedian’s public-spirited attempt to stimulate serious discussion on how democracy is being abused to serve the narrow interests of the wealthy, also failed to mention Naomi Klein’s excellent feature article.
Is it not, therefore, the superficial media who are being childish? After-all, the news media are meant to hold those with power accountable? If the news media took Brand’s initiative seriously, they could even conduct serious and sustained investigations into why exactly this political alignment between political elites and the super-rich occurred and what it means for democracy.[viii] The news media could even investigate theories, models and projects that are re-building societies at grassroots levels, such as can be found on the Global Transition Map.[ix] In other words, the news media could, if they were open-minded, investigate the revolution that is already happening.
Otherwise, why should we consume their news if they can’t be arsed defending open, free societies from the sustained abuses of power by the incumbent, criminal transnational capitalist class?

When we bought our Christmas tree this year, the nice guy at the hardware store sawed off the bottom layer of branches for us so I wouldn’t scratch my eyes out trying to water the darn thing. Also, cutting away that layer leaves room for presents. Presents! Instead of leaving those branches behind to go to the compost, we loaded ‘em up on our little red wagon with the rest of the tree and carted them home. I was determined to turn those orphan branches into a DIY wreath and voila!
First, I used the kitchen shears to cut down the branches. I didn’t worry about the pieces being the same size; I just cut off the bits that looked full right around the point where the needles started thinning out. I put them in a big pile to pick off of.
I originally thought that I’d squeeze the branches in between the two pieces of embroidery hoop, but that ended up being impractical (the branches took up too much space) and unnecessary (my attachment methods were much more stable than I thought they’d be). However, this photo still shows you how I started out. I attached the end of the branch to the hoop and had it laid out, pointing in a clockwise direction.
To attach the branch to the hoop, I simply wrapped a piece of ornament hanging wire around the bottom of the branch, pressed in on the wire around the branch to tighten it’s grip a bit and wrapped a few layers of washi tape around the wire.
Then I just started layering branches on, laying one on top of each other in the clockwise fashion and securing another branch base on the hoop every half inch to inch (I totally just eyeballed what looked good based on how full / long the branches were).
That’s what it looked like from the inside.
I kept going all of the way around until it was done! I thought it would be tricky towards the end, but it wasn’t. I just had to tie on new branches underneath the first branches. That part would have been agony if I had a prickly type of tree, so if you want to try it out, you might need to wear gloves depending on your tree type.
I’m so glad to have added a bit of Christmas cheer to the outside of our house! We don’t hang lights, so this adds a little bit of happy. I like that it looks a little scraggly, but if you like a cleaner look it would be really easy to trim up bits that stick out at the end. It would also be easy to add in bulbs or decorations with a hot glue gun!
Have you ever tried out making your own wreath? How did it go?
So cute. I love that it’s so simple and yet very happy!

I may be missing a feature that already exists, but I am curious if it would be helpful to be able to see who started a Topic or who all are engaged in a Topic while browsing the forum? What do other people think?
Ohh, let me check to see if I can implement that!
Did you work this out? In particular, when I’m on my mobile phone the journals section comes up with the avatar next to each journal of who posted there last, instead of who started the journal, which makes it difficult to work out whose journal is whose.

A few of the blogs I follow aggregate interesting links each week with short summaries. So, idea credit and shout-outs go to Weighty Matters, Obesity Panacea, and Summer Tomato. I highly recommend subscribing to these blogs.
I realize that not all readers here will follow me on twitter, where I share and pass on interesting new research and articles that I encounter. I also realize that not everyone wants to read in as much detail as I tend to summarize studies in (based on the short amount of time visitors tend to spend here so far, thanks Google Analytics). Additionally, I tend to focus on reviewing more than one paper when posting, so with shorter weekly summaries I can pass along research more quickly and it will likely be reviewed in detail down the road. Finally, there are great nutrition related articles about issues not necessarily about research that should be shared to develop an encompassing perspective on the different angles of nutrition. And of course, many people are able to cover certain topics much better than I, and should be highlighted.
Please feel free to add in the comments interesting studies or articles that you have encountered recently.
So here is the first iteration of the Weekly Summaries segment.
Two new methionine restriction studies were published recently, the first finding a decrease in mitochondrial oxidative stress. The authors speculate that methionine is the main factor that improves health in calorie restriction studies and part of the reason it promotes longevity, though other research suggests they may differ mechanistically. The second found that it increases mitchondrial biogenesis, which is expected.

changes in the food supply and the social infrastructure.
environment to promote physical activity.
Anyone who studies obesity realizes that the solution isn’t as elegantly simple as telling people to exercise more (which by itself does not promote weight loss) or giving them diet instructions. There are many factors influencing weight, a lot which are not under our conscious control (which is why we need changes in infrastructure). The next time you see a “fitness expert” who relies on faulty, simplistic practices, call them out on it.
Did we improve our nation’s health in the last decade? Analysis of over 1,000 objectives is in progress for the past decade set under Healthy People 2010, showing so far improvements in some areas but a worsening in many others. The next version will apparently aim to involve the public more intimately in the goals.
Vitamin E shortens “quality-adjusted life years,” in a new data analysis using a Markov-model, further damning the vitamin-antioxidant as a supplement. Many questions still remain (there are 7 other E vitamers in nature, and only 1 is usually supplemented), but whole food sources are always the best bet.
The Granola Health Myth by Fooducate. While the article is short and rather vague, it brings up a good point: granola should be called out as a health food. Not only do many granola products contain ingredients that contribute nothing to a healthy diet, never before in human history have we consumed it until recently.
The popular supplement Ginkgo biloba has been found in a large study to be ineffective at reducing dementia, Alzheimer’s, or cognitive decline. A good review of this in context of previous research here.
Gretchen Reynolds from the New York Times writes about recent research challenging the paradigm that being overweight with a healthy metabolic profile is ok; risk of certain diseases still may be elevated.
Running shoes increase stress on lower extremity joints (knees, hips, ankles) compared to barefoot (free full text here). The evidence continues to mount that our natural foot mechanics should be considered when designing shoes. Some companies get it, most don’t.
The efficacy of many treatments that physical therapists use is questioned in a recent New York Times article. I would love to see rebuttals.
