Analyzing the research output of preventive chemotherapy neglected tropical diseases in Africa: A Social network analysis
Social network analysis (SNA) is a novel method for quantifying research output and a hallmark of contemporary academic research. Neglected tropical
diseases (NTDs) share a lot in common with rare diseases. Although not all are considered rare, NTDs are often misdiagnosed and treatments are less
available. The aim of this study is to assess collaboration trends and to identify leading scientists, author affiliations and funding organizations of five
preventive chemotherapy neglected tropical diseases (PC-NTDs) in Africa in order to support planning, implementation and management of these
diseases. SNA was used to analyse author’s affiliations, collaborations and research funding organizations (name/locations) in publications on five
PC-NTDs. PubMed and Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science Core Collection were used to obtain bibliometric data of publications on five PC- NTDs
between 2000 and 2020. Author networks based on retrieved publications were assembled, visualized and analysed with Gephi social network analysis
software package. Majority of the authors were domicile in institutions in Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, Nigeria and Democratic of Congo while most of
the research funding institutions were located in the USA, UK and Europe. This study is necessary to better understand the existent and information
relationships obtainable from scientific publications. These analysed scientific publications can be used to change research policy of NTDs in Africa.
More importantly, NTDs research funding decisions could be based on both classic measures of impact and measures derived from network analysis.


ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
From NPR News, this is All Things Considered. I'm Robert Siegel.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
And I'm Melissa Block. On this Veterans Day, both President Bush and President-elect Obama paid their respects to the men and women of the military. Mr. Bush traveled to New York City and joined veterans in front of the USS Intrepid. The president noted that he will, as he said, miss being commander in chief of such a fabulous group.
SIEGEL: And the president-elect laid a wreath at the foot of the memorial at Chicago's Soldier Field. In a statement, Senator Obama said this: "I promise to work every single day to keep that sacred trust with all who have served." It was his only appearance of the day as Mr. Obama continues to work on his transition to the White House.
BLOCK: And we're going to begin this hour with one of the president-elect's closest advisers, Valerie Jarrett. She's co-chair of Barack Obama's transition team and a longtime friend to both Senator Obama and his wife, Michelle. I asked Valerie Jarrett about the meeting yesterday at the White House and what the president-elect's message was for President Bush.
Ms. VALERIE JARRETT (Co-Chairman, Obama-Biden Transition Project): First of all, I want to say that I think it's a very good sign that President Bush invited President-elect Obama to the White House so soon after the election. It was a very cordial meeting. I think it was an opportunity for President-elect Obama to put clearly on the table the issues that he had emphasized in the course of the campaign: putting people back to work, making sure that we stabilize our economy in the midst of this economic crisis, ensuring that people are not losing their homes as a result of foreclosure, having an infrastructure bill that will also put people to work, and then do the work that we need so desperately for our roads, our bridges, our schools. I think it was a very productive meeting, and it was a good first step.
BLOCK: And the question of whether there was some sort of implicit quid pro quo, in other words President Bush saying, I could go along with aid to the automakers, but we need some movement on this trade bill with Colombia. What about that?
Ms. JARRETT: I wouldn't say that it was a quid pro quo. I think they both had a chance to talk about the issues that are - that they think are important. And I think in the days ahead, we'll see the shape that the bill actually takes.
BLOCK: You said recently that as president, Barack Obama is going to create an Office of Urban Policy. Why is that necessary? What would that office do that's not being done by other departments already?
Ms. JARRETT: I think when you said "other departments," you kind of hit the nail on the head. And what President-elect Obama recognized, that it's really important that we take all of those different agencies and have a comprehensive approach to our urban development. And so having someone in the White House who's going to be an advocate for cities and who can take all the variety of different federal programs and help target them in a logical and systematic way, I think, is part of what President-elect Obama was trying to get at by this position. And for those of us who have worked in city governments across the country, we recognize how invaluable that person will be.
BLOCK: Should we be expecting Barack Obama as president in January to start signing executive orders that would overturn some of the policies of President Bush? Policies like embryonic stem cell research, restrictions on abortion counseling, oil and gas drilling, things like that.
Ms. JARRETT: I think that what you heard very early on in the campaign is - when he was Senator Obama - was a clear message that the first assignment that he will give his attorney general is to look back through all of the executive orders that were signed under President Bush and determine which ones need to be revoked immediately. So, yes, that would be a top priority as well.
BLOCK: There was a striking scene yesterday at the White House of President Bush and President-elect Obama side by side walking down the White House colonnade before their meeting. It was really a dramatic visual representation of this upcoming and historic transfer of power. What were your thoughts as you watched those images?
Ms. JARRETT: Well, I would say, on a very personal note, I am really very moved by President-elect Obama's accomplishment. And I think his ability to win this election, despite the odds that he started, and to engage people who've never been involved in the process before and have them come out in record numbers and vote for his candidacy, it's something that I think all of America should be so deeply moved and heartened by. And I think it so - speaks so well of our future as a country.
BLOCK: Where were you watching?
Ms. JARRETT: I was watching from the television. I'm here in Chicago, so I just looked at it on television. And it was just - it moved me to tears. But I cry all the time, so. But - and certainly in the last week, I have shed a lot of tears. And it's really - it's not even so much about Barack Obama. As proud as I am of him as my friend and Michelle and, I think, what they will be able to do for our country, but I also just feel so good about our country.
And we were here in Grant Park the night of the election, and I watched strangers hugging one another. People who'd never met before. And so we need to capture that enthusiasm and that jubilance. And we have to channel it in a constructive direction where everybody can feel that they have a stake at the table and they have a role to play in improving our country.
BLOCK: Valerie Jarrett, thanks very much for talking with us.
Ms. JARRETT: My pleasure, my pleasure. Hope to talk to you soon.
BLOCK: Valerie Jarrett is co-chair of the transition team for Barack Obama.

Where to Stay:
101 Broadway N - Fargo, ND
Book Online: HotelDonaldson.com
The history of Hotel Donaldson is deeply rooted in Fargo’s past, and a stroll through the basement gallery will give you a small glimpse of the story’s and people behind the history of the hotel. The original building owners were the International Order of Oddfellows, and when the building changed hands in the mid 1910’s, it became what is known today as the Hotel Donaldson.

Where to Eat:
HoDo Restaurant (inside the Hotel Donaldson)
101 Broadway N - Fargo, ND
With a focus on local farm-to-table ingredients and dishes, you won’t be disappointed. The chef’s finishing touches on every dish from the salads, to entrees, and desserts heighten the level of the food at this downtown Fargo restaurant.
Our recommendations: Kale + Parmesan Salad, Salt Filet, Chorizo Walleye, and make sure to order dessert!
520 1st Avenue N – Fargo ND
You can find this joint in downtown Fargo or Grand Forks, and for those of you that are craving Mexican Street Food or looking for a fun spin on the traditional taco, don’t leave this off your list. Plenty of parking around the corner, and heat lamps to keep you warm in case you get stuck waiting in line outside for a table. The eclectic interior with a focus on the “Vinyl Record Era” will keep your eyes wandering while you wait for your food.
Don’t miss: the Queso, Crispy Chicken + Mango Tacos, or the Carne Asada Tacos.

Recapping the 2017 Flyers NHL trade deadline
The NHL trade deadline has come and gone. Let's recap the Flyers moves!Опубліковано Broad Street Hockey: For Philadelphia Flyers Fans 1 березень 2017 р.
When the Planet Earth is in its death throes and mass devastation greets all who remain, we will traverse the fire-bombed great plains of North America to find Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Chris VandeVelde, skating in orange jerseys, on the last frozen pond the planet will ever see. They are never leaving us. This is our fate.
The Flyers have signed Bellemare a two-year deal worth $1.45 million per year, according Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. For those counting at home, that’s roughly double what Bellemare makes per year on his current deal of $712,500 per year. Uhhh, OK?
Hearing PHI closing in on extension with P-E Bellemare. Word is two years, $1.45M AAV. I'm a fan.— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 1, 2017
As Charlie pointed out in January, Bellemare one of the worst scoring forward at even strength in the NHL over the last three seasons. And he just got 100 percent raise from the Flyers.
The 10 worst scoring 5-on-5 scoring forwards, 2014-17
|1||JOSEFSON, JACOB||New Jersey||155||5||10||0.19||0.37||0.56|
|7||SHORE, NICK||Los Angeles||164||8||16||0.27||0.55||0.82|
|9||GIONTA, STEPHEN||NY Islanders||154||6||16||0.23||0.61||0.84|
|10||REAVES, RYAN||St. Louis||205||12||12||0.43||0.43||0.86|
A $1.45 million per year fourth liner? That’s a lot of money for a good fourth liner, let alone one with the complete lack of scoring ability or play driving ability that Bellemare’s shown.
I suppose there’s also this:
Re: PEB extension talk , he is a candidate for expansion draft exposure but I think he stays.— Bill Meltzer (@billmeltzer) March 1, 2017
A big contract could theoretically help Bellemare get taken in the expansion draft since Vegas is going to need to hit a minimum salary number, but you’re still putting the ball in another team’s court here.

~ Benny Dayal & Funktuation - Inspired by Funk, Soul, R&B, Disco, and Pop, Funktuation is the rare combination of a live band playing dance music. The band started out playing covers of the hit songs from the ’80s and ’90s with a funk twist, but eventually began to write original music and released their first Tamil-Funk EP ‘Funk Katcheri’ in January 2019. You’ll enjoy their lead singer Benny Dayal’s ability to adapt funk into regional languages such as Tamil, Hindi and English along with effortlessly blending a dash of R & B, disco, and soul with the genre.
~ Intervals - Intervals is a Canadian progressive instrumental band that reflects the mind of the guitarist and composer Aaron Marshall, who combines modern instrumental music with roots firmly planted in all things traditional and an open eye on the future. The Shape of Colour is the natural evolution of the band's sound. The band released its instrumental album The Way Forward in 2017. You will be able to enjoy his fluid, unique sound at the fest.
~ Soulmate: The Northeast Blues Special! Soulmate is a blues-rock band from Shillong, Meghalaya that comprises blues guitarist Rudy Wallang and singer Tipriti Kharbangar often referred to as legends of the rock, roll and blues scene in Shillong.

Video: Gareth Thomas tells Ellen he ‘prayed to be straight’
Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas has revealed he prayed to become straight before he married his wife.
He appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show last night and told the lesbian presenter the lengths he went to in order to avoid his homosexuality.
“I became the master of playing the straight bat,” he told DeGeneres. “I would go to bars with the boys, I would always be the one to start a fight, to be outrageous and drink the most.
“I even went to the extreme of marrying the perfect woman for me.
“I remember I used to go to the church we were due to get married in and I would sit there in the graveyard and look up to the steeple..clench my hands and close my eyes as tight as I could and pray to be straight.”
The former Welsh captain, who came out a year ago, is the only out gay professional rugby player.
Since coming out publicly, he has revealed how he broke the news to his teammates, his parents and his wife Jemma, who he told first. The couple are now divorced but on friendly terms.
Thomas described his parents’ reactions several weeks after he had phoned them to say he was gay.
He said: “My mother said ‘Fetch the champagne from the fridge’ and I replied that I didn’t know why we were drinking champagne.
“My father, who is a tough guy and doesn’t say much, said ‘Son I just want to sit here and toast to the rest of your life’.
“I knew then that was an acceptance from my family.”
After the show, DeGeneres wrote on Twitter: “Gareth Thomas is the first openly gay male athlete on any pro team. He’s a hero, and I talked to him today.”
Thomas is also set to be the subject of a film by Hollywood star Mickey Rourke.
Rourke, who is said to be a rugby fan, intends to play Thomas as well as overseeing the project.
Thomas’ agent Emanuele Palladino said at the weekend that Rourke planned to learn Welsh and “get rid of his two front teeth” to play the role convincingly.

Who can use the 3D printer?
Anyone can print our floor models! Once certified, you can bring your own models in and use the printer for up to 11 hours at a time! Even without this class, you can come and select from a variety of pre-made objects to print!
How do I access the printer?
If you have completed the certification course, just call or visit the library and set an appointment, availability allowing. Once booked, we will log you onto the Creation Station. (Where all the magic happens!)
How do I get certified?
Sometimes we hold a workshop class, often on Thursday nights. If you keep an eye on the front page, we'll eventually post when the next class takes place.
When can the printer be used?
During our normal business hours, so long as the printer is not currently in use. For longer prints, it's best to come earlier in the day.
What kind of Printer does the TPL have and where did it come from?
Our printer is the Ultimaker 3 and was purchased with funds donated by Dr. Colleen Froese in memory of her parents, Emil & Mary Froese.
I don’t have my own PC to make art for the printer, can I borrow one?
Dr. Froese’s generous donation allowed us to purchase a powerful PC workstation to create digital art assets and is a intrinsic part of the 3D printing workflow at TPL. When you book the printer, you inevitably also book the PC to print from, but it can be booked separately and used for any kind of content creation you like!
What kind of materials can I print with?
Currently, we are printing with a material called “PLA” (Poly-lactic Acid) due to its versatility, ease of use and bio-compatible nature. It is a safe and effective material that comes in all sorts of colours. We also have varieties that glow in the dark, change colour with the heat, are as transparent as glass, and much more!
How much does it cost to print things?
Print cost is determined by the amount of filament your model uses. This can be tough to pin down, as nozzle size and support structures can take up a lot of space! The short answer is that small objects are rarely more than a dollar. The largest, most expensive prints we’ve seen are still under $30.
What if my print doesn’t work? Do I still have to pay?
If a print fails due to unforeseen circumstances (power outage, mechanical error, filament runs out etc.) you do not pay for the failed job (and you are welcome to keep the partial print). Staff will also do their best to restart the print for you, when possible.
How long do prints take?
Prints vary in length depending on size and complexity. A small ring may take 5 minutes, but an intricate figure just 3-5 inches tall could take an entire day!
I'm not an artist! Is the 3D printer still worth my time?
Because many people do not know how to create their own 3D models, we have bookmarked Thingiverse. This website is a primary resource for free 3D models, tutorials on 3D creation, and much more related to the 3D printing hobby!
I have an idea for a product/toy/thing – will you help me create it?
The Terrace Public Library only provides access and education. The hard work is entirely on your shoulders! 3D printing at the TPL gives you an opportunity to experience the technology in a fun, safe, risk-free way to drive curiosity, exploration and education.

Published in The Chagrin Valley Times
October 15, 2020
A lucky bounce on the opening kickoff and a lucky bobble on the first play of the game had the Kenston gridders (3-2) taking a 7-0 upper hand just 25 seconds into a road playoff game Friday night in Alliance.
But it was going to take more than a little bit of luck for the No. 19-seed Bombers to defeat the No. 14-seed Marlington Dukes (3-3) during a Division III, Region 9 postseason opener, or at least that was the notion from the 27 coaches in the region who voted the boys from Stark County as the clear favorites.
Behind program-record performances from 5-foot-11 sophomore quarterback Nikko Georgiou and 6-foot junior receiver JP Germano, Kenston made a fool of both the voters and of Marlington in a 41-7 road routing to advance.
“Going in we thought it was going to be a close game,” Kenston ninth-year head coach Jeff Grubich said. “Unfortunately, Marlington lost their starting quarterback. I hope that kid is doing well. But I’ve got to give credit to our kids’ effort. They maxed out the entire time. They took coaching all week, they worked hard, so they earned it. They earned it.”
Kenston returned the opening kickoff and appeared to be stopped at its own 30-yard line, but the pigskin spilled out on a forward fumble, and Bomber 205-pound junior Aiden Vanderbilt, who was leading a blocking effort, recovered it for an additional 50 yards to set his offense up on the cusp of the red zone.
On the first snap, Georgiou targeted Germano, who appeared to lose the reception off his fingertips, but the leather bounced off senior teammate Colin McCleery and came back to him for a 20-yard touchdown and that “lucky” 7-0 lead for the Bombers.
“I actually bobbled it myself, and it actually bounced off Colin McCleery’s back, and then I got it back,” Germano said. “It was a pretty goofy one. It was a weird way to start it off, for sure.”
Kenston’s defense and special teams turned up, first blocking a 22-yard field-goal attempt by the Dukes and then turning them over on downs at the 9-yard line later in the opening stanza.
Meanwhile, Georgiou redialed Germano for a 59-yard touchdown toss and a 14-0 lead at the quarter mark. Marlington was packing the box to take away the Bombers’ run game, but Georgiou capitalized on the aerial attack.
“Early on, they were really bringing a lot of guys just to bring some pressure,” Georgiou said. “There were a couple of plays where I just got the ball out quick, and (Germano) just made some moves and broke away with some long ones. There were some where the offensive line gave me just enough time to hit him deep, and, again, he just caught it and took it away.”
Kenston’s defense stood tall again to open the second quarter, this time with a fourth-down stop to take over possession at its own 15-yard line, allowing the Bombers’ offense to flip the field with a punt.
Later in the second stanza, Georgiou redialed Germano for an 86-yard touchdown toss and a 21-0 Bomber lead at intermission.
“It was a designed post, and then, after that, there was no other corner there to stop me, so I just got going,” Germano said. “I think that was definitely a momentum changer, for sure, because that got our guys all going. After that, we were just clicking from there.”
While Marglington did move the pigskin for 17 first downs, passing for 143 yards and rushing 42 times for 128 yards, the Bombers buckled down when they needed to.
Kenston forced another turnover on downs to open the third quarter and then stopped Marlington’s red-zone offense again in the fourth quarter. The Dukes were zero-of-four on fourth downs for the game.
“Our defensive coaching staff does a great job talking about you bend but you don’t break, and we were able to limit the big plays, and those kids maxed out on the defensive side of the ball,” Grubich said. “That’s why we got the results we got. I mean, they were coached up all week, and they went out, and they executed.”
The only touchdown Kenston surrendered came after a 65-yard kickoff return by the Dukes midway through the third quarter. But the Bombers owned a 34-7 upper hand at the end of that frame thanks to a 10-yard touchdown catch by McCleery and a 23-yard touchdown reception by 6-foot-6 junior tight end Ryan Miller.
That was McCleery’s second reception this season and first varsity touchdown.
“Colin is a team player, and he does what he’s coached to do, and we knew he was isolated man-to-man, and we knew he was going to run the right route at the right depth,” Grubich said. “And Nikko knew that, and Nikko threw a strike, and Colin was exactly where he needed to be for another touchdown.”
Kenston put the scoring to bed in the fourth quarter, when Georgiou threw a backward pass to 205-pound senior running back Stanley Sell, who had room on the outside for an 8-yard touchdown run for the 41-7 final.
While the play wasn’t considered a passing touchdown, Georgiou still finished the night with five end-zone tosses on 12-of-23 passing for 301 yards.
Kenston 2020 graduate Jon Tomcufcik, who started three years with a state title while he rewrote the Bomber record book, only had four touchdown tosses in a single game – he did it in a 56-28 victory against Riverside in 2017 and then again in a 50-12 victory against Brush in 2019.
“Last year, learning from Jonny just really, really helped me out,” Georgiou said. “So, I’ve got to give him some props for teaching me all that.”
Germano, meanwhile, finished Friday night with eight catches for a program-record 255 yards receiving. He was just 5 yards shy of cracking the Ohio High School Athletic Association record book, which keeps track of players who have 260 yards receiving or more in a game. Only 43 gridders in Ohio have eclipsed that benchmark.
Germano did eclipse 2020 Kenston graduate Tyler Mintz, who had a career-high 231 yards receiving against Brush in 2019.
“Me and Tyler have always been bros,” Germano said. “He’s always been like a role model to me. He’s been pushing me ever since I was a youngin’. I came in there as a sophomore, and I just looked up to him. He worked with me, and I can shove this one in his face a little bit and have a laugh with him. It was fun.”
Up next, Kenston will hit the road to take on region No. 3 seed and state-ranked Canfield (6-0) at 7 p.m. Friday in Mahoning County.

EU to simplify airline ticket reservation system15 November 2007
The European Commission said it intends to simplify computerised reservations systems (CRS) in the airline ticket distribution market to boost competition.
The commission said it adopted a proposal for simplification which will reduce booking fees charged by the reservation systems and enable airlines to offer more travel options through CRSs.
The proposal will also bring pricing freedom into the CRS market, the commission said.
‘More competition in this market means lower distribution costs and airlines offering more travel options via the CRSs,‘ commission vice-president Jacques Barrot said in a statement.

– Continue to boil until jam setting temperature is reached – 104 C on a jam thermometer or you can also check for setting point using a plate out of the freezer and checking if the jam wrinkles. (Before starting the jam, place a plate in the freezer, after boiling the jam for about 5 min, take the plate out of the freezer and place a small amount of jam on the plate. Leave for about a minute and then push your finger through the jam, if it wrinkles, then the jam in done. If not, boil for a few minutes longer and try again).
– Once the jam is ready, remove from the heat.
– Take your jars out of the oven and carefully ladle the jam into the jars using the funnel, leaving about 1 cm from the top of the jar.
– Place lids and bands on jars.
– Place jars in one layer on the bottom of a large pot or canner. Make sure you have a tea towel or trivet between the bottom of the pot and the jars, so that the jars don’t break.
– Boil jars, in batches, in water for 10 minutes and then remove them to a cooling rack.
– Cool for 12 hours to allow jars to finish sealing.
– After 12 hours, check lids are sealed – press on lid to see if it springs back. If it springs back, then the lid hasn’t sealed properly and will need to be canned again. If the lid doesn’t move, then the lid has sealed properly.
– Label jars and enjoy.
This recipe for savory muffins uses roasted red peppers and feta. You can try other flavour variations as well, like sundried tomatoes, olives, rosemary or goat’s cheese. In this video, I’ve used the batter to make 24 slightly smaller standard muffins. If you want larger muffins, try one standard 12-cup muffin tray and fill them very full (and remember to increase the baking time).
Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Muffins:
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup feta cheese, diced or crumbled
1 cup roasted red peppers in oil, chopped
1 cup oil from roasted red peppers
1⁄2 cup milk
1⁄2 cup water
2 cups plain flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
– Preheat oven to 200 C
– Grease 2 x 12-cup muffin pans
– Mix first 7 ingredients in one bowl
– Mix last 4 ingredients in one bowl
– Mix wet into dry until just combined
– Scoop mixture evenly into muffin pans
– Bake for 15-20min
– Cool on wire rack

Timberline Knolls, a renowned treatment center for women in the heart of the Midwest, is where true healing and recovery can be achieved from eating disorders, mood disorders, addictions, and other such concerns. By combining research-based methods of care with spiritual support, all who come for treatment have the opportunity to grow emotionally and transform their lives for the better.
The BasicsSunspire Health Desert Palms is a licensed residential treatment facility that provides a personal approach to care for men and women suffering from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Our highly trained team of physicians, nurses, therapists and residential staff are addiction specialists who will get to know each patient in order to develop an individualized recovery plan. All treatment plans follow an evidence-based, comprehensive model of treatment that heals whole patients as well as their family systems to set them up for a successful life in recovery.Accommodations and FoodDesert Palms is located just outside of the luxury destination of Palm Springs on property that was once a Hollywood movie set and boutique hotel. The facility’s palm tree-lined landscape with desert mountain views provides an ideal environment for escaping the chaos of addiction and healing in body, mind, and spirit. With 36 beds available and nursing staff on-site 24 hours a day, the facility offers resort-like accommodations that give peace of mind to men and women seeking a life of sobriety. Patients have access to an onsite outdoor pool, jacuzzi, and recreation room outfitted with a television and computers. Desert Palms also has a commercial-grade kitchen where its staff chef prepares nutritious and delicious meals three times per day. Treatment and StaffIn addition to its residential/inpatient program, Desert Palms offers onsite sub-acute social detox (when necessary), Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at a separate Desert Palms sober living building. Each patient receives individualized treatment based on his or her specific needs for recovery. Patients have many different varieties of therapy available during treatment, including individual therapy, CBT, psycho-education, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and adventure therapy. Alternative therapies such as yoga, meditation, and animal-assisted therapy are also offered. The facility has a high staff-to-patient ratio, ensuring that each patient receives the personalized care he or she deserves.
At Life Center of Galax, our sole focus is your recovery. Treatment here includes a number of evidence based options. We believe in creating and implementing treatment plans that are in accordance with our patients’ own perceptions of their personal strengths, capabilities, and needs. In this way, our patients attain the greatest chance for achieving successful and lasting treatment outcomes.
At Skywood, we are deeply invested in helping you regain your health. Our programming approach to recovery is designed with that in mind, from individual and group therapy to adventure therapy, art therapy and yoga. Each of these activities builds on the others to get to the root causes of addiction, introduce healthy new habits, address any co-occurring mental health issues and provide the mental and physical space you need in order to heal. We also provide access to regular 12-Step meetings and peer support groups. What we do at Skywood is different for several reasons. First, we treat addiction and mental health at the same time in a highly integrated way, looking to restore a person’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Second, we focus on resolving trauma, underlying issues and deep-rooted emotional pain that often causes substance abuse in the first place. Lastly, we emphasize life skills that help each person build a foundation for sustainable, long-term recovery.

There are so many good tidings on January first, but by evening January second many people seem to instantly despise the month of fickle weather, lost resolutions, unmet expectations, and lack of Springtime evidence.
January is the month of my birth, and I have to be honest, I have never thought to dislike it,
though I can understand why others might have those sentiments.
Winter comes and makes everyone feel like Christmas,
then Christmas comes and makes everyone feel hopeful for the new year,
then the new year comes and makes everyone ready for spring,
which leaves January as nothing more than a middle month that seems to hold back the weather and new season that everyone is anxiously longing for.
But January for me is the confirmation that a new year doesn’t mean immediate renewal of everything,
it reminds me that changes take time, new perspectives are built day by day and it is better this way.
the process is better than the immediate.
no matter how hard that is to say and try to understand.
As we close the month of January I can’t help but want to speak out in its defense,
and to say that we should not wish it goodbye with a good riddance, but appreciate the lessons it teaches,
whatever lessons those may be year by year.
January is a time for small beginnings, a weaving of the past year into the new year,
it is good Spring doesn’t come just after Christmas,
we wouldn’t be able to handle it,
we need the in-between time.
Time is good,
current time is what makes other times good,
and we, as humanity, need time to blend.
Blend into each new season,
seasons of the year, seasons of life.
I have to learn how to blend better, how to appreciate transition.
I don’t do well right on the cusp of change,
if I can see the coming of a good future event,
I will want it now.
waiting just seems like a waste of time,
and this perspective is evident in my entire nature and personality.
I fidget in the present,
become discontent with anything not pertaining to moving forward that future event.
January helped me with this,
even if just in the smallest of ways,
it made me feel like I really could have a shift in my perspective,
it gave me countless new experiences,
it reminded me of who I was in 2012 and also reminded me that I want to be different in 2013.
in the end,
January 2013 was good.
and I just didn’t want it to pass by without a lovely thought attached to it.
so there you have it.
you are good, January,
whatever you may be like.
and I am grateful for you,
even if I am the only one.

J's Fresh Bar & Kitchen
37位當地人推薦 · 預估價格為2級（最高4級） ·
I love J’s. It’s a restaurant and bar with chunky wooden furniture, fairy lights hanging in the garden, and a great atmosphere. It feels like a gastropub. They serve Conc here, which is a really good cold-brew made locally. On the weekends, they have DJs and it gets busy, but during the week, it’s pretty relaxed. The food at J’s is always hearty and expertly cooked, so it’s a nice place to come for a bite to eat and a drink after work. Be sure to try the coffee cocktail called the Conc Martini, made with the cold-brew I mentioned.
Enjoy a great choice of international and local music as you delve into the vast and well crafted food menu and ambience at this preferred spot in Nairobi. They have two branches, one in Karen area which is on a roof top and one in westlands area
Great place in general especially on Thursday when they have #JsThursdayNiteLive, a live stage like non other,safe to say the city's biggest & favorite night- hosts live performances by superstars across the board from 8:00pm - 11pm #WhereGreatNightsBegin #TNL #JsfreshBarandKitchen
TASTY BURGERS AND FRESH COCKTAILS, GOOD MUSIC ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO HANG OUT ON A THURSDAY NIGHT.
“Outdoor Seating, Serves Alcohol, Table Service, Full Bar, Wine, and Beer, Accepts Credit Cards”
“Brew Bistro offers a nice selection of delicious beer from Big Five Brewery. They also have a variety of delicious food available and good deals every day of the week. We recommend going during happy hour to take advantage of the two for one pitcher deals. The rooftop location offers beautiful views of the city and an interesting venue when the place becomes a club later in the night. The club is a popular destination for both expats and locals. ”
“Good music, great food, perfect ambiance, it's a bit on the hire side so budget for like 3000 a plate. But definitely worth the experience”
“Along the Kitisuru Road, the restaurant is tucked away with the charm and green forestry views.”
“Closest supermarket called Chandarana, amazing fresh produce supermarket called Zucchini. ABC Place also has many other amenities including Java Cafe, 360 Pizza, Seven Sea Food, a pharmacy, hair dresser and more.”


From February 24 through March 4, 2012 passionate citizens around the country came together to “Code Across America” — to make their cities even better. In over a dozen cities, there were hackathons to build civic apps, “brigades” to deploy existing ones, unconferences to plan for the year ahead, and meetups to strengthen the community.
When: Simultaneous event, February 25; Ongoing, February 24 - March 4, 2012
What: Activities ranging from hackathons and app deployments to unconference sessions
Who: Urbanists, Civic Hackers, City Reps, Developers, Designers, etc -- anyone with the passion to make their city better
How: Bring together the city government with a supporting community group, organization, or business, and reach out to a broad range of participants with diverse backgrounds and skills
What is a Brigade Event?
This year, Code for America is launching the CfA Brigade to bring together groups of civic hackers in cities across the country, focused on customizing and deploying civic apps locally. These Brigade events will be the kick off: each city will identify an app to focus on, customizing it for their needs, standing it up, and getting it in the hands of users by the end of the day.
How do I Participate?
This is the 2012 event page. Find the most recent event at codeforamerica.org/events.

One hundred years ago, the Arts and Crafts movement was the dominant trend in home design in America. This philosophy of craftsmanship originated in England in the mid-19th century under the leadership of theorists such as John Ruskin and especially the brilliant William Morris, who achieved success as a poet, artist, publisher, social critic, textile designer and interior decorator.
Morris rebelled against both the overly fussy decorations of conventional Victorian design and the mind-numbing labor of the mass production furniture factories of the early industrial revolution. Inspired by the honest simplicity of medieval designs, he taught that every artist should be a craftsman and every craftsman an artist. Pride in work well designed and well done was seen as essential to human dignity.
In the U.S., the movement was promoted by Elbert Hubbard's utopian Roycroft community, and by the brilliant furniture manufacturer Gustav Stickley. In the late 19th century, most American furniture was overly ornate, covered with fancy but useless decorative details. By 1904, within a few months of the Wright Brothers' first airplane flight, a new modernism dominated the furniture industry. Stickley's original designs, and those of his countless imitators, put forward straightforward, honest, rectilinear shapes, relying on the beautiful patterns of quartersawn white oak as their primary decorative element. Later, a brilliant designer employed by Stickley, Harvey Ellis, embellished Craftsman furniture with elegant and subtle inlays that still impress with their beauty. Tragically, Ellis died very young.
Until the onset of World War I, Stickley's magazine, The Craftsman, was the most influential voice shaping the modern American home. It promoted affordable, well-designed bungalows for middle-class families. Home architecture, furniture, carpets, textiles, lighting fixtures, pottery, copper work and paintings all fell under the sway of Stickley's vision. As well as propounding a consistent design philosophy, he also insisted on the highest quality standards of physical craftsmanship. His furniture companies, along with those owned by his brothers, achieved enormous success. Even today, furniture made in his shops 100 years ago commands sky-high prices at antique auctions.
Although the Craftsman design philosophy faded from prominence after 15 years of great success, the ideals of that movement appeal greatly to me, and offer certain lessons to custom countertop fabricators of the 21st century. One of the things that I like best about countertop fabrication is that it remains one of the few holdouts in our economy against the complete dominance of mass production.
Don't get me wrong. I am certain that mass production has
brought great prosperity to billions of people in the past 200
years. However, I am comforted that a few things are still made and
installed to order and to individual customer taste. Among them are
By its very nature, custom fabrication requires, on average, a higher degree of worker skill and versatility than does mass production. Regular readers of this column know that I am obsessed with quality control. Consumers expect and pay for the highest levels of quality and long-term performance from custom-made products. If a worker has the mentality that it's "just a job," that exceptional quality is "not my job" and is motivated only by the next paycheck, then the standards of quality are bound to suffer. A worker who is motivated by pride in craft, by love of materials and tools and techniques, as well as by the prospect of financial gain, will invariably produce and install a top-quality countertop.
I've achieved that level of motivation in my own career through self-employment. In my younger years, I've been an employee working under heavy-handed bosses, and I've been a supervisor dealing with incompetent or unmotivated subordinates. Leaving both roles behind has been a personal step forward for me, but I know that career path is not practical for most people.
A challenge facing leaders in many industries is how to encourage the very best from their employees. I can't claim to have a simple answer. However, it seems clear that those who are proud of their work do far better work than those who dislike it.
Here's how Gustav Stickley described his own approach to worker development: "The raising of the general intelligence of the worker, by the increase of his leisure and the multiplication of his means of pleasure and culture, the endeavor to substitute the luxury of taste for the luxury of costliness, and to do something along the Morris idea that all men shall have work to do which shall be worth doing, and be pleased to do it."
Stickley experimented with profit sharing in addition to wages as a way to better motivate his workers. He attempted to recreate the medieval guild structure, where a master craftsman served as a sort of mentor to younger workers. He found these techniques successful when his companies were small, but less so when he had hundreds of employees. Perhaps the growth of his enterprises was too rapid. In any event, it is clear that Stickley did not find the true key to success in worker motivation since his successful business empire declined and failed by 1916.
For over half a century, Stickley's designs were ignored and his
ideals largely forgotten. Recent decades, though, have seen a
resurgence of interest in Craftsman design and philosophy.
Magazines such as Style 1900 and American Bungalow are devoted to
the movement, as are dozens of lavishly illustrated books.
Twenty years of hard work with custom countertops have allowed my wife and me to move to a beautiful new home in the Napa Valley. On our way back to California from a trip to the Adirondacks last winter, we came across a Stickley Furniture showroom in Albany, New York. We learned that items of furniture originally made by Gustav Stickley and his brothers, L. Stickley & J.G. Stickley, and also some pieces designed by Harvey Ellis and the Roycroft community, are still being made in Manlius, New York.
We later purchased four pieces of the furniture and a gorgeous Stickley oriental rug. The furniture was made to order and delivered promptly to our new home, and we are delighted with it.
And, in the spirit of craftsmanship, my wife and I and our sons are making new DuPont Corian countertops for our new kitchen. It seems that a philosophy of 100 years ago, though once forgotten, can still motivate and inspire today.


Which air conditioning system is best for your home or business?
Truth be told, that question is a lot harder to answer than you might initially think – there’s a huge range of factors we need to look at when choosing the system that’s most appropriate for your home.
This is what we in the air conditioning business call system design.
And one of the first things we look at when we start the system design process is crunch the numbers.
Bigger, more voluminous rooms require a more powerful air conditioning system to keep them cool, and vice-versa. And when it comes to air conditioning installation Brisbane, you’ll need to start by calculating how big your room is.
Here’s how the formula works…
What is our air conditioning calculation formula?
Using the formula is simple, so don’t worry if you never excelled in high school maths – to start, you’ll want to first calculate the room’s floor size.
The next step is simple: just multiply the result by 150.
Why? Well, as a general rule, each square metre of area requires approximately 150 watts to cool effectively. With that in mind, the air conditioning calculation formula boils down to:
(Room floor area x 150 watts) / 1000 = air conditioner size in Kw
Say you have a room that’s 7 metres long and 6 metres wide – in this case, you would need 6300 watts, or 6.3Kw worth of cooling.
Of course, this formula assumes that your home has a standard 2.4 metre ceiling if you have a higher ceiling, you’ll need to tweak the numbers.
As a general rule, each additional 30cm of room height adds an additional 10 watts to the formula, so:
- 2.7 metre ceilings = 160 watts
- 3 metre ceilings = 170 watts
The best thing about it is that when you know how the formula works, you too can have a rough idea of how powerful your cooling will need to be!
And once you know that, you can start doing some initial research into different systems.
Why it’s so important to follow the air conditioning sizing guide
It helps keep you comfortable
An undersized system won’t be able to keep you cool, simple as that.
Following the air conditioning sizing guide means that you’ll end up with a system that’s powerful enough to effectively maintain your comfort, and which won’t struggle in the Brisbane summer.
The formula gives you a minimum size for your air conditioning system – as long as you choose a system that meets that number, you won’t have to worry about things getting too warm in your home,
The sizing guide ensures your system doesn’t wear out prematurely
That’s because an oversized system can actually wear out faster!
It’s the startup process that puts the most strain on your air conditioning system and its components.
The problem with oversized air conditioners is that they cool down your home too quickly. That means they’ll need to stop and start more frequently, and as a result, they will wear out faster.
It’ll help you save money
An underpowered air conditioning system needs to run for longer to deliver the same cooling.
At the same time, an overpowered system will wear out faster, thanks to frequent stop-start operation.
By selecting the correct system right off the bat, you’ll be able to save money by avoiding the more frequent air conditioning repairs that can come with an oversized system, as well as the energy bills that come with relying on an underpowered system.
Not only that, but you won’t find yourself thinking “maybe we should get the air conditioning replaced” a couple of summers down the line!
The air conditioning calculator is a great starter – however, it isn’t the be-all, end-all
The air conditioning sizing guide is just that – a guide.
When it comes to selecting an air conditioning system that’s perfect for your home, room volume is only one of the factors we need to look at.
Other than that, we’ll also need to worry about things like:
- Insulation quality
- Room orientation
Another thing that’s important when designing your air conditioning system is accommodating for usage.
While on paper your room may only require a certain air conditioner size, the way you use it can change the equation, so to speak.
For example, certain appliances and equipment will require a slightly more powerful system to compensate for higher temperatures. For example, kitchens and home gyms tend to run hotter than other rooms.
Another thing to think about is how many people use the room.
People radiate heat throughout the day – for example, an average male gives off 100-120 watts of heat energy while at rest.
A room like a living room will often see the entire family using it at once – something that can cause issues if you only rely on the air conditioning calculation formula.

Cash transfer scheme roll-out in 20 districts from Jan 1: FM
The government will roll out its ambitious scheme of transferring cash to beneficiaries of select schemes in 20 districts tomorrow, but food, fertiliser and fuel subsidies will not be covered in the initial phase.
Announcing the roll-out plan, Finance Minister P Chidambaram said that more and more districts and schemes would be covered under the scheme during the course of 2013.
"We are proceeding with caution. 20 districts from January 1... All 26 schemes are ready for rollout. On January 1, the seven schemes in which pay out is due in the (20 selected) districts, the money will be transfered through the direct benefit transfer system using the UIDAI platform," he said.
The Minister, however, clarified that subsidies relating to cooking gas (LPG), kerosene, diesel, food and fertilisers will not be included in the first phase of the roll-out.
"At the moment there is no intention to transfer subsides on food, fertiliser, diesel and kerosene through direct benefit transfer. Here, existing system will continue because they are complex issues," he said.
On subsidy on LPG, the Minister clarified, "I don't know when it will be covered. It is not covered in the first phase."
The Minister said that scheme will be rolled out in 43 districts by March 1-20 districts from January 1, 11 districts from February 1 and 12 districts from March 1.
By end of 2013, Chidambaram said, the direct cash benefit transfer will be rolled out in all the districts of the country.
He said the subsidies would be transferred to the beneficiaries' bank accounts if they do not have an Aadhaar number.
Chidambaram said: "Over the next few days or weeks we will aim at 100 per cent penetration of Aadhaar beneficiaries... Whether there is Aadhaar card is not money will be credited, money will be withdrawn."

Race organizers confirmed the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will take place this weekend despite an attack claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on an oil storage facility near the track on Friday.
A joint statement from Formula 1 and the sport’s governing body FIA said that “following discussions with all the teams and drivers,” the race at the Jeddah circuit would go ahead. The Saudi Grand Prix is the second race of the new season and comes on the seventh anniversary of the start of the civil war in Yemen.
“Following the widely reported incident that took place in Jeddah on Friday, there has been extensive discussion between all stakeholders, the Saudi government authorities and security agencies who have given full and detailed assurances that the event is secure,” the statement read.
“It has been agreed with all stakeholders to maintain a clear and open dialogue throughout the event and for the future.”
Friday’s explosion at the Aramco facility – an F1 sponsor – occurred about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the track and smoke could be seen billowing over the city during Friday’s practice.
The second practice session was delayed by 15 minutes as teams and drivers were called to meet organizers. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff told reporters that teams had been “assured that we are protected” and that the track was “probably the safest place that you can be in Saudi Arabia” at the moment.
However, sources told CNN that drivers felt uneasy after the attack and many did not want to drive in the race.
The Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA) Chairman Alex Wurz issued a statement on Saturday saying Friday was “a difficult day” for the sport and a “stressful day” for drivers.
He added that “seeing the smoke from the incident” made it “difficult to remain a fully focused race driver.”
Wurz said there were long discussions and debates following the attack but “the outcome was a resolution” that the race would go forward with drivers’ participation.
“We therefore hope that the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will be remembered as a good race rather than for the incident that took place yesterday,” Wurz added.
Drivers are set to take to the track for qualifying on Saturday before the race itself on Sunday.
No casualties in attack
The Houthis said they used a “large number” of drones to target the facility in Friday’s attack.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen said one ballistic missile and 10 bomb-laden drones launched from the southern border by the Iran-backed rebels were intercepted, according to Saudi state-run TV channel al-Ekhbariya. The statement did not mention an attack on Jeddah.
There have been no casualties so far in the attack, an official told CNN.
Saudi state media later reported that the Saudi-led Arab coalition launched air strikes on what it said were “threat sources in Sanaa and Hodeidah” in Yemen, following Friday’s attack.
The port city of Hodeidah is used to provide food and humanitarian aid for Yemenis. Fuel typically comes into the country’s north via the port, which is controlled by the Houthi rebels – but the Yemeni government, backed by Saudi warships, must give the vessels clearance to dock.
Saudi Arabia has justified a blockade of the port by accusing the Houthis of siphoning taxes from the fuel that comes into Hodeidah to fund its war effort, an allegation also made by the US and UN.
CNN’s Irene Nasser in Hong Kong, Talia Kayali and Hira Humayun in Atlanta, Nic Robertson, Eyad Kourdi, Amanda Davies and Mostafa Salem contributed to this report.

60 Hikes within 60 Miles: St. Louis

Whoa there! I would like to know who wrote the Trails.com description of Emmenegger Nature Park, as it is truly inappropriate to project a paved trail through the unspoiled, never-developed riverfront of this beautiful park. Riverfronts are natural wildlife corridors, it is disruptive to the flow of wildlife to pave them and introduce ongoing human activity, especially in such highly populated areas where wildlife have no other safe alternative routes for passage. Moreover, Emmenegger itself is a biological gem, with 5+ natural communities, 2 creeks, a plethora of wildflowers, butterflies, mushrooms, so rich in botanical and wildlife diversity that local instructors bring students there to learn about Ozark ecology. Emmenegger was closed to bike use in 1998 because its natural assets were being destroyed by mountain bike abuse. To lift that ban and pave the riverfont for the sake of the continuous trail described in the Trails.com blurb would mean the ruination of the biological treasure that is Emmenegger Nature Park.
Enjoy the trails that are there, as is. Don't be greedy for a destructive manifest destiny.
NO ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN EMMENEGGER NATURE PARK!
Great trip of the paved path. Plenty of shade, the path was clearly marked yet not commercial or over crowded. Peaceful.
The trail is GREAT!!! lots of nature to see, the views from the bluffs are great too.there are many steep paths, giving a good cardio work-out... one word of CAUTION.... there are snakes.... I almost stepped on a copperhead last evening... be aware while hiking the unpaved paths... they are heavily traveled, but snakes are present.
