text: Although platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) and receptors (PDGFRs) are abundantly expressed in the central nervous system, their functions largely remain elusive. We investigated the role of PDGFR-β in tissue responses and functional recovery after photothrombolic middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). In the normal adult mouse brain, PDGFR-β was mainly localized in neurons and in pericyte/vascular smooth muscle cells (PC/vSMCs). From 3 to 28 days after MCAO, postnatally induced systemic PDGFR-β knockout mice (Esr-KO) exhibited the delayed recovery of body weight and behavior, and larger infarction volume than controls. In Esr-KO, PC/vSMC coverage was decreased and vascular leakage of infused fluorescent-labeled albumin was extensive within the ischemic lesion, but not in the uninjured cerebral cortex. Angiogenesis levels were comparable between Esr-KO and controls. In another PDGFR-β conditional KO mouse (Nestin-KO), PDGFR-β was deleted in neurons and astrocytes from embryonic day 10.5, but was preserved in PC/vSMCs. After MCAO, vascular leakage and infarction volume in Nestin-KO were worse than controls, but partly improved compared with Esr-KO. Astroglial scar formation in both Esr-KO and Nestin-KO was similarly reduced compared with controls after MCAO. These data suggested that PDGFR-β signaling is crucial for neuroprotection, endogenous tissue repair, and functional recovery after stroke by targeting neurons, PC/vSMCs, and astrocytes.

Muhammad Ali is the star of TBWA GGT Simons Palmer’s new TV
commercial for Equitable Life, which uses a combination of old and new
footage of the boxing hero.
The spot is the latest in Equitable Life’s ’visions of the future’
campaign, which has already featured the astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, and the
geneticist, Steve Jones.
In the new commercial, a young Ali is in conversation with a boy, who
asks what he would have done if he had not been a boxer. Ali’s reply is
that he would still have been ’the greatest’, whatever he had done.
Riding in the back of a limousine, he says: ’I’d have done

As the film draws to an end, Ali appears as he is now in modern-day Los
Angeles. He steps out of a car and starts shadow-boxing with the boy as
a group of garbage men look on. A voiceover says: ’Whatever your dream

usda home loan vs traditional mortgage USDA loans require no down payment, meaning that it is possible to finance up to 100%. One must meet the income restrictions for the County the buyer is interested in. To be eligible, one must be purchasing a property in a rural area as defined by the USDA..
Buying a home in a rural area? The zero down payment USDA home loan may be the perfect home financing option. Here’s what you should know.
USDA loans are low-interest mortgages with zero down payments designed for low-income Americans, who don’t have good enough credit to qualify for traditional mortgages. You must use a USDA loan to buy a home in a designated area that covers several rural and suburban locations.
USDA Home Loans. The U.S. Department of Agriculture created the USDA housing program to help farmers and low income families in rural parts of the country become homeowners. In order to be eligible for a rural development loan you must buy a property located in an eligible rural location.
Mortgage rates today are low, and USDA mortgage come with some of the lowest rates available for any loan type. Get your USDA loan rate quote, which comes with a home buying eligibility check, and.
The united states department of Agriculture (USDA) home loan program helps low-income residents in rural areas obtain mortgages at lowered rates without the need for a down payment. The USDA’s Rural Development department offers these loans to eligible buyers in certain rural and suburban areas.
FHA loans (Federal Housing Administration), VA Loans, USDA home loans in Kansas, Home Equity or Jumbo loans, and the best mortgage loans that suit your needs. They are equipped with numerous financial.
USDA home loans are available to low and very low-income borrowers in rural areas. If you aren’t able to qualify for a traditional mortgage, you may be eligible for the USDA home loan program. Here’s some more information if you are interested in obtaining this type of mortgage loan:
What is a USDA Home Loan? The USDA Home Loan, similar to the VA loan program originates with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1935, via Executive Order 7027 created the Resettlement Administration, whose mission was to relocate destitute families, affected by the Depression, restore areas suffering from severe soil erosion, and assist farmers with loans for equipment and land.
Single Payment Loan Piggyback Loans. A piggyback loan is a mortgage loan where a separate loan is used for a portion of the down payment. The most common piggyback loan is a 80-10-10, where the mortgage is for 80% of the loan-to-value ratio, a separate loan of 10% LTV, and a down payment of.Building Loan Mortgage Usda Guaranteed Rural Housing Program USDA operates its housing programs through the rural housing service (rhs), an agency within the rural development (RD) division of the department. RHS staff, which is only located in Washington, D.C., establishes the rules and policies for operating the housing programs through regulations, handbooks and other notices. The day-to-day management of the programs is carried [.]Construction delays mean you’ll need to extend the construction portion of the loan, making your whole mortgage term longer.

Hanover highway superintendent gives beaver update
HANOVER – The town of Hanover is still dealing with pesky critters. Highway Superintendent Steve D’Angelo gave an update on the beavers in the town during a recent Hanover Town Board workshop. The town recently announced it was having problems with a dam near Mott Road in Irving.
“I wouldn’t say right now that we’re winning the war but I think things have slowed down a bit,” he said. “All and all, we are working on it. We should be able to win the war.”
D’Angelo said he has had a number of people contact him who were interested in helping the town trap the beavers, but D’Angelo said he is going to stick with a trapper he has worked with in the past. D’Angelo said when you get rid of the beavers they will come back in bigger force. He thinks there are numerous beavers working on this dam, since it can be rebuilt overnight, and all the beavers are part of a clan.
D’Angelo also said the town has put up several hundred feet of snow fence throughout the town with help of inmates from the Lakeview Correctional Shock Facility. The town installed 9,500 feet of fence, the most the town has ever erected. D’Angelo praised the correctional facility for sending crews, even double crews at times. The snow fence helps save the town money, according to D’Angelo.
“I honestly do think with the price of fuel, we are saving a pretty good chunk of money. In a lot of places, we can do with a little truck instead of getting one of our big ones out. Those big trucks use a lot of diesel fuel,” D’Angelo said.
He reminded residents to drive safely throughout the winter. The highway department can have all the plows out but cannot keep up with the snow falling sometimes, he said. The town board will also hold a second meeting for the month on Dec. 30 at 4 p.m. A public hearing will start on that date at 4:05 p.m. for proposed local law to change the zoning law for the Routes 5/20 business district. Both will be held at the town hall on Hanover Street.
The town also approved a quarterly agreement with dog control officer Wallace Baker at a rate $637.50 per month. The board is also looking for letters of interest for the planning board. Interested applicants should send a letter of interest to the town clerk at 68 Hanover Road, Silver Creek.

Say what you will about Miley Cyrus's VMAs hosting talents, but you can't deny that her musical output of late has been prolific. First she released her surprise album Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz, and now she's got yet another new song called "Hands of Love." It features in the new trailer for Freeheld, an upcoming drama starring Ellen Page and Julianne Moore and based on the true story of Laurel Hester, a New Jersey police officer who appealed to get her pension benefits extended to her domestic partner after she was diagnosed with lung cancer.
You can only hear part of the song in the trailer, but from what's there, it seems like "Hands of Love" is more traditionally pop than anything on Dead Petz. It's still early, of course, but since this movie is already being mentioned as an Oscar contender, it's possible that "Hands of Love" could end up as a nominee for Best Original Song too. First the VMAs, then the Oscars — what awards show will Miley conquer next?

Surface heat flow has been observed to be highly variable in the Nankai subduction margin. This study presents an investigation of local anomalies in surface heat flows on the undulating seafloor in the Nankai subduction margin. We estimate the heat flows from bottom-simulating reflectors (BSRs) marking the lower boundaries of the methane hydrate stability zone and evaluate topographic effects on heat flow via two-dimensional thermal modeling. BSRs have been used to estimate heat flows based on the known stability characteristics of methane hydrates under low-temperature and high-pressure conditions. First, we generate an extensive map of the distribution and subseafloor depths of the BSRs in the Nankai subduction margin. We confirm that BSRs exist at the toe of the accretionary prism and the trough floor of the offshore Tokai region, where BSRs had previously been thought to be absent. Second, we calculate the BSR-derived heat flow and evaluate the associated errors. We conclude that the total uncertainty of the BSR-derived heat flow should be within 25%, considering allowable ranges in the P-wave velocity, which influences the time-to-depth conversion of the BSR position in seismic images, the resultant geothermal gradient, and thermal resistance. Finally, we model a two-dimensional thermal structure by comparing the temperatures at the observed BSR depths with the calculated temperatures at the same depths. The thermal modeling reveals that most local variations in BSR depth over the undulating seafloor can be explained by topographic effects. Those areas that cannot be explained by topographic effects can be mainly attributed to advective fluid flow, regional rapid sedimentation, or erosion. Our spatial distribution of heat flow data provides indispensable basic data for numerical studies of subduction zone modeling to evaluate margin parallel age dependencies of subducting plates.

A place to call home, where you are never alone
Glossary A - L
Hearing so many different terms can be overwhelming and confusing to parents and caregivers.
We have listed several on two different pages for your reference. You may never come into contact with some of these terms, some of them relate to issues that may not apply to every child, but we felt it necessary to list as many as possible. If you would like us to add more terms that might be beneficial, please let me know.
ABR - Auditory Brainstem Response is usually done in early infancy. The test is done while child is sleeping and the use of medications to induce sleep may be needed. NON INVASIVE and involves the use of headphones.
Alveolar ridge - the bony ridge of the maxilla and mandible containing the teeth.
Anesthesiologist - physician who specializes in anesthesiology, administering medication to patients undergoing surgery.
Apnea monitor - a machine that will hook to the baby via either a belt or sticky type leads. This machine will monitor your child's breathing and heart rate. It can be set to alarm if levels go below or above a certain predetermined level.
Artificial Nose - a filter device that fits onto the hub of a tracheostomy tube and is used to trap moisture and minimize exposure to germs or dust in the air as the patient breathes (AKA: HME, Thermo vent T, Swedish Nose)
Articulation - the process of forming speech sounds.
Aspiration - The inhaling of foreign matter in the lungs.
Aspiration pneumonia - refers to the inappropriate passage of food, water, stomach acid, vomit or another foreign material into the lungs. Aspiration, particularly involving gastric acid, will often result in a serious pneumonia.
Asthma - Chronic respiratory disorder characterized by labored breathing and wheezing resulting from obstructed and constricted air passages. Long-term control includes inhaled or oral bronchodilators (albuterol, theophylline), breathing exercises, and, if possible, the identification and avoidance of allergens. Short-term cortisone and prednisone can bring immediate relief in acute attacks.
Audiologist - professional who studies and tests for hearing disorders through identification and evaluation of hearing loss and the rehabilitation of hearing loss.
Barium Swallow - radiographic exam of the esophagus during and after introduction of barium sulfate. Structural abnormalities of the esophagus may be diagnosed by the use of this technique.
Bolus - feeding given over a short period of time ranging from a few minutes to half an hour
Bronchoscope - endoscope that passes through the trachea to allow visual inspection of the tracheal area.
Bronchoscopy - examination of the bronchi through a scope.
CPAP - continuous positive air pressure. A piece of equipment used to aid patients with breathing.
Cleft or Craniofacial Team - health care team. The principle role of the team is to provide integrated case management for your child, to assure quality and continuity of care and to provide long term follow up. The team usually consists of: audiologist, geneticist, nurse, oral surgeon, orthodontist, otolaryngologist, pediatrician, pedodontist, plastic surgeon, prosthodontist, psychologist, social worker and speech-language pathologist.
Cleft Palate - opening in the roof of the mouth, generally horseshoe shaped in children with PRS. Involves the soft palate (back part) and sometimes the hard palate. A cleft lip is a separate condition and each can occur independent of each other. A cleft lip is very rare in a child with PRS.
Conductive hearing loss - Conductive Hearing Loss-associated with the formation of fluid in the middle ear. Sound is heard through this fluid making the ears feel "blocked". This type of hearing loss is USUALLY not permanent and is reversed when fluid is drained/tubes are put into place.
Decannulation - removal of the trach.
Desaturation - A drop in oxygen levels due to apnea, obstruction or other medical conditions.
Developmental Pediatrician - physician who addresses special needs or special care issues for children with special needs.
Discharge Planning Nurse - person from the hospital that is usually responsible to make sure all arrangements have been made to take care of the baby at home. This person will coordinate any DME or nursing care and usually communicates with the insurance company.
Durable medical equipment (DME) - items such as feeding pumps, apnea monitors, pulse ox meters.
Dysphagia - inability to swallow or difficulty in swallowing.
ENT (Otolaryngologist) - Ear, nose, throat specialist
Ear tubes - Ear tubes-also known as PE (pressure equalizing), Tympanostomy, or Ventilation tubes. Inserted during surgery called MYRINGOTOMY which creates a small incision in the eardrum. This allows fluid to be drained and the tubes to be inserted into the eardrum. The tubes allow the eardrum to remain open, letting air flow into the ear and maintains drainage of fluid. The tubes do not stick out of the ear and are not usually visible without an exam of the ear.
Early Intervention Services - programs or services designed to identify and treat a developmental problem as early as possible, before age 3. Services for 3-5 year olds are referred to as pre-school services.
Eustachian tubes - the air duct which connects the nasopharynx (the back of the throat) with the middle ear; usually closed at one end, opens with yawning and swallowing; allows ventilation of the middle ear cavity and equalization of pressure on two sides of the eardrum.
Feeding therapy - therapy provided by a speech/language pathologist, occupational therapist and/or dietitian to address concerns of eating and swallowing.
Fistula - abnormal opening in the palate. They are sometimes closed surgically and many times close on their own.
Foley Catheter - generally this is the initial tube used for g-tubes. It is also a flexible plastic tube inserted into the bladder to provide continuous urinary drainage.
Frenulum - material that attaches the lower side of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. It is sometimes "tight" and is considered "tongue-tied."
Frenulum puddle (excessive tongue tissue near frenulum): Excess tongue tissue under the base of the tongue. Gives the appearance of two tongues stacked on top of each other. This is a common occurrence in babies with Pierre Robin and should become less noticeable, or even disappear completely, as the child grows. This is probably not a true medical term, but our families refer to it as either frenulum or tongue puddle.
Fundoplication - surgically reducing the size of the opening into the stomach and sewing the esophagus to it, it is done to prevent reflux and aspiration.
G-tube - (Gastrostomy) surgical creation of a fistula through the stomach so a tube may be inserted to aide in feeding.
Gastric Emptying Test - evaluates the emptying of food from the stomach.
Gastroenterologist (GI) - physician who specializes in the study of the physiology and pathology of the stomach, intestines, esophagus, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. These specialist will help your child if they have reflux and would be involved in care of the g-tube.
Gavage - feeding with a stomach tube or with a tube passed through the nose, pharynx and esophagus into the stomach.
Geneticist - physician that will perform a physical and order any tests needed to get an accurate diagnosis for your child.
Glossoptsis - a dropping of the tongue downward out of normal position.
Granulization - mass of red, moist, granular tissue that develops on the surface of a wound. Often develops around the stomas of the tracheostomy tube and gastrostomy tube.
Haberman feeder - special bottle used for infants with cleft palates, they are manufactured by Medela.
Hard Palate - The front part of the roof of the mouth containing bone covered by mucosa (pink "skin")
Home health care - Agency which will provide nursing care, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and any other specialized care your child needs in your home.
Horseshoe cleft - description of the typical shape of the cleft in a child with PRS, may be similar in appearance to a mouth guard used for sports
Hypotonia - loss of tone in the muscles or low muscle tone.
Intubation - the insertion of a tube into the larynx for entrance of air.
J-tube - surgical creation of an opening in the jejunum (second portion of the small intestine). A tube is inserted to aide in feeding. NOTE: The contents of the tube bypass the stomach in this procedure.
Jaw Distraction (Mandibular Distraction) -surgery performed on a child with PRS to extend the lower jaw. Most of the procedures are done externally and the parents use a device to turn part of the hardware to extend the jaw.
Kangaroo Pump - a feeding pump that is attached to a gastrostomy button in order to provide a continuous "drip" feeding over a period of time (Eg. through the night).
Katie Beckett Waiver - this goes by several names, dependent on the state you live in. It is a type of grant that can be used towards nursing care, supplies and care for a special needs child.
Larynx - enlarged upper end of the trachea below the root of the tongue.

While the news cycle tracks the spread of the virus, we decided to track something else: the stories of humanity, kindness, compassion and the unintended (amazing) consequences of what this situation has wrought. Feel Good News, launched this week, is a news feed that curates all the good stuff happening in the world in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The headlines just keep coming at us”, says Spencer Saunders, President of Art & Science. “We keep seeing the negative news every day, no matter the outlet. So a couple weeks ago, we got together and talked about what would help out right now. No one needs more agency promotion, but what we do need is just a little bit of warmth, a smile and a reminder that despite the headlines, there are people helping people out there doing some amazing things, so let’s find all those great stories and share them.”
And that’s what we did.
What started out as looking for a few stories, turned into finding many. Stories of real people doing helpful things in our community, across the country and the entire planet. They’re helping their neighbours, their building, their colleagues, their city or country, or even society at large. Making people feel better about themselves and the situation we’re all facing every day.
We’ve also added some tips and facts that people may or may not be aware of, yet help bring useful and interesting information to them as they browse through each article.
Have some of these stories been seen already? Sure. Have we seen aggregated good news sites before? Absolutely. And they’re all great. But we felt like harnessing the current good deeds happening during the pandemic of COVID-19 would be a bit more uplifting and so far, with those we’ve shared it with, they seem to agree that this is what we need right now.
“We intend to keep this page current with new stories each and every day. Our content team at A&S is having a great time learning about all the good things that are happening out there. Some stories are coming to us from various sources and some are ones we’ve searched for. But they are all joined by the great spirit of human kindness that is so uplifting to us all.” said Saunders.

Background: Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have both higher incidence and mortality from gynaecological cancers than non Indigenous women but little is known about how survival compares between the two groups. We therefore aimed to compare survival of Indigenous and non-Indigenous gynaecological patients in Queensland and identify factors that may explain potential discrepancies.
Methods: All Indigenous women diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer, including uterine, cervical, ovarian and others, between 1998 and 2004 and treated in a Queensland public hospital (n=137) were compared to a random sample of non-Indigenous gynaecological cancers patients, matched on age, remoteness of residence and cancer type (n=120). Data was abstracted from public hospital records and the National Death Index. Time to event analysis was conducted using Cox Regression models to describe survival differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous women, unadjusted and adjusted for key factors.
Results: Indigenous women were more likely to have regional or metastatic spread of disease at diagnosis (52% v. 35%, p=0.02), more likely to have a comorbidity at diagnosis (51% v. 21%, p<0.001), and less likely to undergo cancer treatment (91% v. 98%, p=0.01) compared to non-Indigenous women. When considering only cancer-related deaths, Indigenous women were 50% more likely to die during the study period (HR 1.5, 95% CI 1.0-2.3); however the ratio decreased when adjusted for stage, comorbidities, and treatment (HR 1.1, 95% CI 0.7-1.7). Results were similar when considering all-cause deaths (unadjusted HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.5 and adjusted HR 1.2, 95% CI 0.7-1.8).
Conclusions: Indigenous women diagnosed with gynaecological cancer have poorer survival rates than their non-Indigenous counterparts. This was explained by differences in stage of disease, comorbidities and uptake of cancer treatment.

A group of hackers who support the Moroccan government’s occupation of Wstern Sahara has been the source of a wave of attacks targeting pro-Saharawi organisations, including Adala UK, targeting the emails and social media accounts of Saharawi activists.
Saharawi activists in the Occupied Territories of Western Sahara say they have been hacked regularly by individuals trying to access their online communications and networks. The hackers have also targeted groups who support the self-determination of Western Sahara but who work outside of the Occupied Territories.
The email account of Adala UK has recently been targeted. The hacker posed as ‘Mahfoud’, emailing to offer voluntary support to Adala UK and professing to support the Saharawi cause. A day later all Adala contacts received a spam email asking for urgent financial assistance.
Cris Baile from the Cambridge School of Technology explains that the account was hacked after the email from ‘Mahfoud’ had been opened which planted spyware on the email account and forwarded all emails received to another unknown account. All the account contacts and previous sent and received emails were deleted.
Brahim Dahan, President of ASVDH, a Saharawi human rights charity, told Adala UK: “our web page was targeted by hackers for a long period of time. Eventually the hackers managed to stop visitors from visiting our site as they were getting viruses”. Sandblast, a British NGO which supports Saharawis in the Refugee Camps through music projects, also had their website hacked and they were consequently offline for a few weeks.
These online attacks on NGOS form part of a hacking campaign which has been running for several years and includes attacks on the most popular dissident blogs against the Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara, such as ‘Equipemedia’ and ‘Western Sahara News’.
“All these attacks launched against blogs and social media networks and email addresses seem to have political motives because photos were posted of the Moroccan King and the Royal Family and phrases such as ‘Moroccan Sahara will always be Moroccan’ were used in the attacks”, commented one Saharawi activist.
Hundreds of Saharawis, including minors, have stated that whilst they were tortured in detention, they were forced to give the Moroccan authorities their login details for their Facebook accounts. These allegations have hitherto never been investigated by the Moroccan authorities.
One witness also told us: “Following the brutal intervention by the Moroccan authorities against a peaceful protest advocating self-determination in which I participated, I was punched and insulted and taken to the central police station where they tortured me for hours. They asked me how we all communicate in order to organise our protests and they made me give my memorable answer and password for my Facebook account so they could see the ‘chat’ history with my friends.”
Hackers rely on the fact that many NGOs that support the Saharawi people are run by volunteers who lack the necessary means to arm themselves against hackers or who do not know experts to whom they can turn to rectify the situation once they have been hacked. Many NGOs would also be wary of publicly revealing that a cyber-breach had occurred for fear of damaging the confidence that activists have put in the organisation by working with them in the first place.
Adala UK urges other organisations to consider revealing the ways in which they have been the victims of hacking, especially when they believe the motive to have been a political one. Our silence on this subject only serves to help the hackers and those who back them.

Smart no hassle
People are beginning to relinquish control to technology, allowing it to act on their behalf, to help minimise inconvenience, or save time or money. Think of smart tech managing energy usage, and virtual assistants busying themselves providing alerts.
That doesn’t mean the trend towards ‘Hassle Free’ is all about getting enhanced performance from products/services. In fact, it’s focused primarily on efficiency and productivity. It’s about achieving the same ends with less effort – time, mental effort, energy – from us, says Mindshare in its Trends 2017 report.
“We are starting to see innovations applying AI to specific everyday tasks in order to alleviate discrete pain points,” says Mindshare. “The standout example… is DoNotPay, the chatbot lawyer designed to contest parking fines.
There’s plenty of tech strutting its stuff in this space:
Snoo is a smart crib equipped with microphones, speakers and sensors that will rock babies back to sleep with a womb-like motion whenever they cry
The Samsung Family Hub fridge links to ordering services, and lets users remotely see what’s inside on its shelves
Notion is an app that learns from user exchanges with emails and highlights importance depending on previous interactions with senders
Viv Labs have created an artificial intelligence platform that enables developers to create an intelligent, conversational interface to anything.
Smart heating, connected cars making route recommendations and connected packing with food expiration alerts are popular Hassle Free applications with consumers, according to Mindshare research. “Other applications that require us to relinquish a bit of control [are] less popular, such as smart shelves/appliances that reorder, or even algorithms that recommend what we should wear that day.”

Without question, one of the most loved decorative items for Easter are flowers. Whether they are fresh or artificial or dried - they take center stage or appear as little hints of prettiness amongst decorations. It would certainly be hard to imagine Easter without them!
Here at Miss Rose Sister Violet we love to decorate with flowers and get so excited at the chance to decorate for Easter - a time where tables and gardens and gifts are brought to life for parties and family celebration. Little baskets can be filled with a posy of flowers, watering cans used for table centerpieces, a sprig of leaves or a single flower can be used for gift wrapping - the ideas are endless and all as effective as each other. There is no idea too boring or too elaborate; for all things flowers can add a touch of beautiful magic.
Here is just a selection of some of our most loved Miss Rose Sister Violet products that help decorate Easter! Our floral fabrics used in our bunting, and pretty aprons, our lace containers which are beautiful for table decoration, for gift giving and Easter egg baskets, beautiful silk ribbons which are perfect for just about anything, and lastly our famous velvet flowers which are the perfect touch to finish off any table decoration, gift, Easter basket or garden party!
Lastly, don't forget to look at Pinterest and search for Easter Decorating ideas. Here's a gorgeous little collection we found on Pinterest ourselves. Enjoy!
And Happy Easter! Love Rose and Violet xxxx

A pause is an opening. It acts as a portal to other options and choices, giving more dimension to your experience. Just as a small amount of yeast makes light of heavy dough, a small amount of pause here and there can leaven or lighten your life. You don’t need much but it is a vital ingredient.
Experimenting with pause gives you a way to play around with the rhythms of your life. It gives you a way to give shape and texture to your experience, weakening the sensation that your life is driven by external forces over which you have no influence. Choosing where you put your pauses makes an enormous difference to what your life feels like and what you can do as a result.
You might pause to rest and regenerate, to become more creative, to connect with other people or yourself, or just to enjoy whatever it is that is going on around you (or inside you). There are many possible reasons to pause, ways to pause and lengths of pause. There are many different practices you can adopt. You can play around to your heart’s desire and choose whatever suits you: pause is quite the opposite of a task to tick off. Pause is a very plastic concept. There is plenty to try, as we will see. It is a subtle, powerful, life-giving idea — one that is worth spending a little time with.
What’s in a Pause
There are obvious benefits of pause to your own wellbeing and sanity. This is an old idea; we know that ‘all work and no play’ makes for a dull life. Yet the pressure of modern life means it is a lesson we have to keep learning. It is breaking a taboo when a CEO like Andrew Mackenzie of BHP (one of Australia’s largest companies) publicly says ‘a rested Andrew can do more in four hours than a tired Andrew in eight’. Similarly, film director Dan Petrie’s top tip to people starting out in the trade was nothing technical or creative. It was: ‘get to bed before ten’.
Important though rest and regeneration may be, there are a wealth of other personal benefits. A pause is sometimes necessary to allow you to exercise your skill and judgement. Another film director, John Boorman, pauses while shooting so that he can bring his attention to his ‘instincts’. A doctor, in the midst of an operation, might pause for a couple of seconds, her finger on the carotid artery, in order to feel and sense the pulse, and make a critical decision about which of two drugs to administer. Access to these other intelligences requires our normal way of thinking to be quiet. Pause gives you access to capacities you might not know you have.
A pause can also help you to understand yourself better. On one retreat we asked people to spend a couple of hours outdoors in contemplation of a landscape. This was effectively a pause (the contemplation) within a pause (the retreat). One of the participants, who had recently left the corporate world, came back asking: ‘What if I think of my work, or career, as a field, not a path?’ This image gave him a completely different way to think about his work and how it might evolve.
One of the nicest things about pause is how obvious and familiar it is. You don’t need to go to a class or subscribe to any particular beliefs in order to understand it or start working with it. Anyone can think about where or how pauses show up, or are absent, in their own life or work without any prior knowledge or instruction. Pausing is very do-able, which is why it is a good subject for a book in this series.
Meditation, yoga, tai chi and mindfulness are all lovely in their own ways. But they do come with a bit of ‘wu-wu’ (as Nick Parker, writer and wordsmith, puts it), which can be a distraction or a barrier. Even if you are partial to a little ‘wu-wu’ every now and then, you still need a bit of instruction, language or technique in order to get going.
Not so with pause. Yet for all its ordinariness, pause has variety, depth and complexity. In this sense pause is like wine. Everyone understands what wine is (some of us rather too well) but within the category of wine, there are an infinite number of varieties. It means everyone can find their own way to pause. You can think about what is interesting or appropriate for you and start there.
Take a breath
An obvious place to start is with your breath, which connects body and mind. Since you are always breathing, the opportunity to use the breath is always at hand. When things get difficult or tense, you can simply ‘take a breath’ before speaking or responding. Shift your attention to your belly, softening it and letting it expand (instead of breathing from the chest), and take a gentle breath. By attending to your body for three or four seconds you can shift your mind and your mood.
If breathing doesn’t work for you, try walking. Integral coach Justin Wise often suggests to his clients that two or three times a day they leave their desk, go outside and walk once around the block. At first they are self- conscious. It seems a ridiculous thing to do, but Justin will insist and, to keep them to it, he asks them to make a note of when they walk. Gradually, as the judgemental thoughts recede there is space for other responses — they start to notice how they are feeling in their body (an untapped source of information), get insights or have new ideas.
Since, like breathing, walking is something you do anyway, any kind of walking provides an opportunity to develop a practice of pause. Walking and thinking are intimately linked, so walking really does provide ‘pause for thought’. As you walk, it gives you the chance to metaphorically ‘walk around your ideas’, approaching them in different ways or looking at them from a different angle.
Count to one
Not ten, or even three, but one. That may seem insignificant, but to count to one, you have to pause. The important thing is to stop, not how long you stop for. That tiny interregnum has a similar effect to the bar across the bottom of the door: by checking you, it allows you to check in with how you are. I rather mischievously suggest this to people who are proud of how busy they are, because even they cannot claim they don’t have time to count to one.
Counting helps you hold silences, something many people find hard. If you count how long you are holding a silence for, you can see that it is never very long. A ten-second pause in a workshop — to allow people to digest an experience, or find the words to express something — is often enough, but it feels like an age. Having an objective measure of the length of a ‘pregnant’ pause helps you hold it for that bit longer. And after a bit of practice, it stops being uncomfortable altogether. Over time, you become able to tolerate more and longer silences. Which opens up all manner of new possibilities.
The daily routine
The journey to or from work is one such trigger. Instead of regarding the commute as a nuisance, why not see it as something you can take and use? For example, you can reframe traffic jams or delays as moments to pause.
This doesn’t necessarily imply becoming a saintlike figure, immune to the pressures of modern life. In fact, quite the opposite — you might pause in order to notice the frustration or impatience, and in so doing create a little space between you and those feelings, rather than letting them take possession of you.
You can choose to see the journey as an ‘in-between’ place in its own right (instead of as a waste of time). Regard it as a space not to be filled and deliberately avoid reading a book, listening to the radio or music, or checking email. See what occurs and what you notice — either about the journey, or about yourself.

Huawei has announced that its latest new flagship, and though the Chinese phone-maker may be embroiled in various Android and chipset headaches, the Mate 40 Series is now available for purchase in Mzansi. The Huawei Mate 40 Pro is build on the same aesthetic we’ve seen the company use before, but with a new “Space Ring” design at the back that clusters the numerous cameras into a circle.
The Mate 40 Pro is available in black and white locally, while other countries get an additional Mystic Silver finish that shimmers according to the angle of the light.
Design only takes you so far, of course, so the Mate 40 Series taps Huawei’s latest silicon inside. That’s the Kirin 9000 Series, a 5nm 5G SoC that the company says uses the most powerful GPU in any of its phones to-date. Alongside the CPU, which runs at up to 3.13 GHz, there’s a 24-core Mali-G78 GPU. A 3-core NPU – with two big cores and a more frugal tiny core – is also included.
Altogether they power the 6.76-inch display on the phone. Huawei isn’t using a 120Hz panel, topping out at 90Hz instead, though there’s a 240Hz touch sampling rate.
As for the cameras, that’s arguably the topic Huawei fans have been most excited about. There’s a whole host of sensors on the back, with the Mate 40 Pro having a 50-megapixel wide camera (f/1.9 with OIS), a 20-megapixel ultra-wide (f/2.4), an 8-megapixel 10x periscope lens (f/4.4 with OIS), a 12-megapixel 3x telephoto (f/2.4 with OIS), and a ToF camera for depth sensing. Altogether, Huawei says, you’ll get a maximum 17x optical zoom range.
For power, meanwhile, there’s the latest version of Huawei SuperCharge. That supports up to 66W of power, and can handle extreme low-temperatures too.
Cut out of the official Google Android apps – and the Play store – you’ll find that Huawei is still pushing its own EMUI platform. EMUI 11 delivers things like hand gestures – such as swiping up or down in front of the phone to scroll, left or right to flip through galleries, or pressing inward to answer calls or play/pause music – and split-screen views with floating windows for multitasking. There’s that 1080p MeeTime video calling app, its own Petal Search and Petal Maps app, and a virtual assistant called Celia that, according to Huawei’s Akhram Mohamed, is now supported in 15 countries.
The Mate 40 Pro will set you back R19 999 at launch which includes the Huawei Freebuds 4i and Huawei Wireless charger.

Maulana Masood Azhar Kandahar hijacking episode (File Photo)
India’s strong diplomacy since 2014 forced many countries to fall in line. The long-time pending bid of India in United Nations was finally supported by China and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar was declared as a 'global terrorist'. Masood Azhar’s Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is responsible in number of terrorist attacks in India including Pulwama attack in 2019 killing 40 soldiers, Uri attack in 2016 killing 19 soldiers, Pathankot attack in 2016 killing 7 soldiers and Parliament attack 2001 killing 9 people.
It is to be noted that Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist organization was formed in March 2000 with a so-called aim of freeing Kashmir from India. Well, you can also say to terrorise India. Three months before JeM was formed, it’s chief Maulana Masood Azhar was released by India after the Kandahar hijacking episode.
On 24th December 1999, IC-814 was flying to Delhi from Kathmandu. Within half an hour of take-off, the plane was taken over by five Pakistani hijackers and forced pilot to fly to Lahore. However, Pakistan denied the plane permission to land.
India desperately requested Pakistan to allow the plane to land — low of fuel, it could crash any time — and to try and prevent its exit. Pakistan let the plane land and refuel — but no attempts were made to stop it.
The plane next landed in Dubai, where 27 passengers and the body of Rupen Katyal, whom the hijackers had stabbed, were off-loaded. At this point, India requested the UAE and even the US to help, asking them to hold the plane at the airport till a team of Indian commandos could reach there. Unfortunately, the two countries did not offer any help. The plane finally landed at Kandahar.
Afghanistan was then under the control of the Taliban. Taliban, in the name of ‘protecting passengers’ surrounded the plane. But what they were doing was to make sure Indian commandos could not storm the flight.
According to the media reports, the hijackers wanted the release of 36 terrorists as well as a huge amount of cash. A team of negotiators flew to Kandahar. In the meantime, in India, pressure was mounting, with the relatives of the flight passengers staging protests.
After the negotiations with hijackers failed, the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led government agreed to their demands and the then external affairs minister Jaswant Singh took the three terrorists including Masood Azhar, Omar Sheikh and Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar alias 'Latram' to Kandahar in Afghanistan in a special plane to ensure the release of passengers of the hijacked plane.
None of the five hijackers were caught. In the year 2017, three including Abdul Latif Adam Momin alias Abdul Rehman alias Patel, Yusuf Nepali and Dalip Bhujail, were convicted for arranging passports, tickets and arms for the hijackers. Nepali was later acquitted. The acquittal has been challenged. Momin’s appeal against his life imprisonment is in the Supreme Court. Azhar, meanwhile, is safe in Pakistan.

eBay announced today it is raising some fees for US sellers effective February 15, 2023. eBay “final value fees” combine a commission and payment-processing fees, and the company said the maximum increase in any one category would be 0.35%. Some categories will see no change in fees, it noted.
Most categories will see a fee increase from 12.9% to 13.25%. Sellers of books and media will see an increase from 14.6% to 14.95%.
eBay made the announcement on February 1st as part of its 2023 Winter Seller Update.
In more positive fee-related changes, eBay will refund its 30-cent per-order fee (in effect part of its payment-processing take) in more situations where a seller voluntarily refunds a buyer:
“Last year we announced that we’ll give your $0.30 per-order fee back to you when you approve a buyer’s cancellation request before you ship your item. Based on positive feedback we received from sellers, we’re expanding the per-order fee credit when you provide excellent service to the buyer by issuing a full refund. Starting February 15, 2023, when a buyer returns an item for any of the following reasons, we’ll extend the $0.30 credit for returns that you voluntarily refunded.”
eBay will also stop charging for Buy It Now listing upgrade for auction-format listings and for its “Scheduled listing” upgrade.
eBay is also changing how it charges for certain optional upgrade fees – for example, “Bold and Gallery Plus listing upgrade fees will no longer be based on the auction starting price or Buy it Now item price.”
You can find the eBay Seller Update overview on this page.
Changes relating to February 15th fee changes are described on this page.
And eBay opened up an area on its discussion boards devoted to the 2023 Winter Seller Update.

Three members of the Harvard wrestling team are headed to the 2010 NCAA Wrestling Championships in Omaha, Neb. The NCAA announced all 284 qualifiers for the national championship Wednesday night along with seeds and brackets.
Senior co-captain J.P. O’Connor earned the No. 1 seed at 157 pounds. He is 30-0 on the season and won titles at the Binghamton Open, the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational and the EIWA Championships. He was named Co-Ivy League Wrestler of the Year and was a unanimous first-team All-Ivy League selection. O’Connor is the second Harvard wrestler to garner the No. 1 seed at the NCAA Championships. Jesse Jantzen did it in 2004. O’Connor, who is a two-time All-American is competing in his fourth NCAA Championships, will take on Vincent Salminen of North Dakota State.
Senior Louis Caputo is the eighth seed at 184 pounds. The native of Blue Springs, Mo., finished second at the EIWA Championships after receiving unanimous first-team All-Ivy League honors. Caputo, who is 22-3 on the season, is a two-time All-American and is competing in his fourth NCAAs. His first round opponent will be Austin Trotman of Appalachian State.
Steven Keith finished third at the EIWA Championships at 125 pounds to earn an automatic berth to the NCAA championships. Keith is 18-10 on the season. The Shoreham, N.Y., native will face the 12th seed Ben Kjar of Utah Valley State in the first round.
The 2010 NCAA Championships will begin Thursday, March 18 at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb. First round action gets underway at noon (EST). The first two sessions (Thursday) will air live on NCAA.com. ESPNU will sessions 3-5 (Friday and Saturday morning), while the finals (session 6) will be aired live on ESPN.


Excellent opportunity to purchase a turn-key, semi-absentee mold, die and machine tool manufacturing and repair facility. Serving the industry for over three decades, the Company provides design, engineering, manufacturing, repair, refurbishment and preventive maintenance services to the plastic injection molding and stamping industries, as well as custom tool and die services to many other industries. Long-standing reputation for high-quality work and great customer service. Experienced management team in place (owner is semi-absentee). Purchase comes with full suite of recently replaced, upgraded, or refurbished machinery and equipment, plus the necessary vehicles to deliver a wide-range of mold sizes and dies to its customers.
Standalone facility, customized for the Company, is 18,250 square feet which includes 3,400 square feet of office space and 3,400 square feet of mezzanine for storage of small parts, etc. Facility can be leased for $6,750 per month NNN, or purchased for $1,050,000. The property is being represented by a separate commercial real estate broker. The financials below include the $6,750/month rent charge. Seller Discretionary Earnings for owner of Real Estate is $661,875.
Significant opportunity to expand with sales and marketing program, upgrading the website and addition additional staff.
Competition - although there are ten or more mold/tooling/machine shops similar to the Company within a two drive, most if not all of the other shops are production or specialty shops with a different market niche. The US metalworking machinery industry is very fragmented and consists of about 6,500 companies with combined annual revenue of about $31 billion. The US machine shop industry includes about 20,000 companies with combined annual revenue of about $37 billion. While mass production is made possible by tooling, the principal tools themselves often require custom production. These tools are custom-made, one-at-a-time by skilled artisans who patiently and precisely machine, finish, and construct the complicated devices. Only one mold, or set of dies, is needed for the manufacture of many thousands and very often many millions, of pill bottles, makeup jars, tampon holders, car battery boxes, etc. of a given design. The one-of-a-kind characteristic of the tooling industry accounts for enormous differences in management and capitalization strategies and the skills, machinery and technology, amenable to tooling making and mass production.

Long-waiting Sufjan Stevens fans frustrated by the artists’ lack of new material and live performances are getting some payoff for their patience, as Stevens announces both a remix album entitled Run Rabbit Run and an appearance at All Tomorrow’s Parties New York, America’s version of the perennial British music festival.
Run Rabbit Run is due out October 6 on Asthmatic Kitty Records. Stereogum reports that Stevens was approached by the National’s Bryce Dessner, about remixing 2001’s Enjoy Your Rabbit, Stevens’ electro gem composed of songs about the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. This new effort features rearrangements by various New York-based composers for the string quartet Osso, who previously appeared on Stevens’ Illinois album. Run Rabbit Run also offers cover art by Dessner’s sister Jessica, who talks about Steven’s aesthetic vision for the album: “Now Sufjan had brought this ornate list of what needs to be done in the drawings and we tried our best to get through it: ‘Of course, a tiger and a tortoise and a butterfly.’ ‘Yes, sure the snake could use a scorpion and some pomegranate.’ ‘Definitely water dragons would enjoy grapes.’”
Stevens’ ATP New York appearance comes as a relief to hardcore Sufjan fans, many of whom are left questioning his whereabouts thanks to his reluctance to tour and his aversion to the media. The festival, now in it’s second year in Monticello, NY, takes place September 11-13. Other acts performing at ATP NY, which will be curated by the Flaming Lips, include Animal Collective, and Iron and Wine, and Deerhoof.
Stevens is known for his unique songwriting style, his proclivity for orchestration, and his musical ambition; his stated mission is to create an album for and themed around each of the 50 states. That project began with a bang, as 2003’s Michigan and 2005’s Illinois pleased fans and critics alike. However, not much has been heard from Stevens since he released Songs for Christmas in 2006, and his states-project seems to be at a standstill for the moment.
With a new remix album and what is sure to be a thrilling live show, hopefully Sufjan will remind fans of his unique talent for innovative pop experimentation this fall.
Track list for Run Rabbit Run:
01 “Year of the Ox” (Arranged by Michael Atkinson)
02 “Enjoy Your Rabbit” (Arranged by Michael Atkinson)

The Fifty States project is ongoing, but morphing. Unfortunately its latest installment wasn’t accessible to indie fans on the internet, but there has been work since Illinois: an orchestra piece on the BQE, New York’s Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, premiered in November of 2007.
I know, that’s almost two years ago now, but still.

JUSTICE MINISTER Alan Shatter has said Ireland’s criminal gangs should not expect to avail of the protection of the Gardaí.
Speaking in the Dáil last night Shatter said the government would surrender “no part of this country to any criminal gang of any description, nor will we do so to the criminal gang made up by the so-called Real IRA”.
Contributing to a debate on the recent spate of gangland murders in Dublin, Shatter said it was “unrealistic to expect that the Garda Commissioner can devote his entire resources to individually protecting people who are routinely trying to avoid the Garda so they can continue to engage in criminality”.
“Such an approach could only come at the expense of ordinary Garda activity to protect the community generally,” he said.
The minister said he would do everything in his power to assist Gardaí in tackling gangland crime, and that Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan “has my full support in continuing to confront this type of criminality and in bringing those involved to justice”.
“As far as I am concerned, we are not on a slippery slope,” he said.
The minister added that a review of criminal law aimed at clamping down further on gangland crime would be completed by the end of the year, adding:
It is a great pity that many of those engaging in thuggery and barbarism [...] do not take cognisance of the fact that the history of drug gangs in this State and elsewhere is that whatever brief feelings of power they have and for whatever brief period they gain wealth from their activities, most of these individuals have brief lives of violence that end violently.
I am sure they do no listen to what we say here but it is time they considered the impact on their families and communities as a result of their conduct.

I know this may surprise a few of you, but sometimes people let me babysit their children. Yes, it’s as big of a shock to me as it is to you. I typically start by giving them ice cream and Red Bull, then taking them on a few roller coasters, topping it off with a trip to the local McDonald’s. That, or I roll with my backup plan: stock the house with crafting supplies, kid movies, and holiday themed food. I went with the latter.
I bought a few mini pumpkins, spray painted them white, and gave the kiddos free range with paint. (Not to worry, I thought ahead and covered the table with a cheap tablecloth). See, told you I could handle this.
While they painted away and we watched Double, Double, Toil, and Trouble (okay, I watched – kids these days will never appreciate some serious MK&A movies like we did), I used Modge Podge to write BOO on my pumpkin, sprinkled with glitter, and made a friendly little pumpkin for my front porch. And by ‘front porch’ I clearly mean the two steps that lead to our front door. Ohhhh the day when I have a nice front porch will come soon enough. Until then I will be grateful I don’t have to sweep the front porch like those crazy cat ladies (who would ever want to be one of those?) <—- Life Goals.
