I have often talked and spoken about the benefits of law enforcement using social media. I think most of us who use it, recognize what a powerful tool social media can be. Law enforcement uses social media for many reasons. We use it to check the backgrounds on our recruits; for investigations; to educate our citizens; to provide information; for homeland security purposes; to market our departments and dozens of other reasons.
We in law enforcement have used social media recently as a counter balance for all of the negativity directed toward us in the media and through social media. We post information about all of the positive accomplishments of our staff and provide great examples of our engagement with our communities. Are we making a difference? Are our citizens actually getting the message?
It is difficult to measure how effective we are with our messages. In some ways, it is similar to trying to measure the effectiveness of police visibility on reducing crime. We know it makes a difference, but how do you measure it?
Recently, I received a vivid example of how effective the social media program of the Dunwoody Police Department has been.
One of our supervisors received an email from a citizen with the following message:
“I just wanted to send a little note and let you know how much I appreciate you and your team. Brave people don’t come around every day and from what I see on Dunwoody PD Facebook and in the news, you have some brave and wonderful people working at the precinct. I hope you are doing well. Thank you for all you do!!”
Her impression of our department is directly tied to what she has read on Facebook and seen in the news. In our case, many of the news stories are generated from posts we make on social media.
As a law enforcement professional, I encourage you to continue your efforts to get your department’s message out through social media. You may not receive such a direct affirmation of your efforts but I guarantee you ARE making a difference.

Introduction Despite known associations between obesity and cardiovascular disease, the relationship between obesity as reflected by body mass index (BMI) and angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD) is not fully understood. Moreover, this relationship has not been adequately defined in black patients, a group demonstrated to have lower rates of angiographic CAD despite higher rates of CAD risk factors, cardiovascular events, and CAD-related mortality. Methods Using an angiography database from an academic hospital, we studied patients undergoing first-time, nonemergent coronary angiography. From this cohort, we selected those without previous CAD diagnosis and with complete anthropomorphic measures and outcome data. Using models that controlled for patient demographics and CAD risk factors, we compared rates of angiographic CAD for blacks and whites by BMI. Results Black patients had higher rates of CAD risk factors, including obesity and morbid obesity. Nevertheless, black patients were less likely to have a significant stenosis than white patients. Morbid obesity was associated with significantly less CAD in both race groups. Controlling for black-white differences in BMI and the prevalence of morbid obesity did not change the odds ratio for CAD among black patients. Conclusions Racial differences in BMI and prevalence of morbid obesity do not contribute to black-white differences in CAD detected during elective angiography. The paradoxical association of morbid obesity with a lower burden of atherosclerosis may be attributed in part to the limitations of noninvasive screening in the morbidly obese and subsequent referral of patients without disease for angiography.

Textile sculpture on a wooden plinth. Height approx 345 mm.
This figurine was the first one I ever made, I searched the internet for inspiration on what I could make in my first lesson in textile sculpting. I found alot of images of dancers and thought the folds in the fabric as they moved would look great in this medium. So, the first of many in a series of dancers was born!

Soon after the iconic BOSS compact pedal line was launched in 1977, guitarists started requesting the CE-1 chorus sound in this smaller, battery-powered format. In 1979, these demands were answered with the CE-2 Chorus.
Specially designed for guitarists, the CE-2 offered a milder modulation compared to the CE-1, always keeping the guitar sound sharp and well defined. This refined chorus tone was an instant success, becoming the go-to sound for hit guitar tracks throughout the 1980's and beyond.
The CE-1 and CE-2 represent the early days of BOSS’s longstanding dedication to innovation and quality, which remains stronger than ever at four decades and counting. Bringing together the cutting-edge technology of the time, savvy craftsmanship, and a devotion to helping musicians create great music, these landmark pedals embodied the spiritual mission for every BOSS product since.

The Jets defense continued its terrible play in Week 10, and the offense didn’t do much better.
The 45-17 loss to Buffalo pushed the Jets to 2-7 on the season after New York gave up more than 30 points for the fourth consecutive game. Mike White couldn’t muster more magic and turned the ball over four times against one of the toughest defenses in the league.
Here, we’ll look at some standout stats that tell the story of yet another deflating Jets loss.
Too many points
The Jets’ defense still can’t stop teams from scoring. After giving up 45 points to the Bills in Week 10, New York became the first team since the 1966 Giants to allow at least 45 points three times during a four-game span, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini. The Jets also gave up 45 points in Week 9 to the Colts and 54 to the Patriots in Week 7.
If you include the 31 points the Jets gave up in Week 8, New York’s 175 points allowed is the most in a four-game span since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger, per Cimini. This isn’t the first time the Jets have allowed at least 30 points in four consecutive games, either. Gang Green did it three other times, according to Cimini: 1996, 1976 and 1963.
Rookies Elijah Moore and Michael Carter remain the biggest – and only real – bright spots this season. Moore and Carter have four touchdowns apiece, which is tied for second among all Jets rookies in franchise history over their first nine career games, per Jets X-Factor’s Michael Nania. Receiver Wayne Chrebet and running back Tony Paige also tallied four touchdowns over that span, while Keyshawn Johnson scored five in nine weeks. Moore has only played eight games this season, so he could still tie or surpass Johnson next week. Paige and Johnson both have the franchise record with eight touchdowns in their rookie season.
Believe it or not, but the Jets’ passing attack hasn’t been bad over the past three weeks. New York’s 1,108 total passing yards from Weeks 8-10 are the most in franchise history, per Jets X-Factor’s Michael Nania. Granted, a lot of that has been during blowout losses with opposing defenses playing more relaxed, but it’s still a promising stat despite the current rut the team is in.
Tons of turnovers
Jets quarterbacks are throwing interceptions regardless of who’s under center. New York became just the fourth team since 1970 to have two different quarterbacks throw at least five interceptions during each player’s first four games in one season, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini. Zach Wilson had eight in his first four games, while Mike White has seven after throwing four against the Bills. The 1989 Cowboys are the last team to accomplish this feat when Troy Aikman threw six and Steve Walsh tossed seven.
Too many yards
Not only is the Jets defense allowing points at a record pace, but it’s also giving up a ridiculous amount of yards as well. New York surrendered 489 yards to the Bills in Week 10, which brought the team’s four-game total to 1,890 yards. That’s the most yards in a four-game span in franchise history, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini.

There is a Lightness to the Night
Sunlight lifts the standing air
that evening sets upon your face.
The symmetry of bricks and streets
and rows of streetlights –
perfect this place.
There is a stillness in this smell
of streets, sun-baked all day,
that rises up as heavy rain
begins to fall.
The smell of clay.
The warmth of wetness.
How your clothes cling.
There is a feeling to this time,
of nights now lost.
The line of streetlights
only show how dark night is
and how your distant voice
can bring a lightness to the night.

Swimming in the Amazon River is a fascinating and adventurous prospect. The Amazon River, known for its immense size and rich biodiversity, is a mesmerizing water body that stretches across several South American countries. While the idea of swimming in this mighty river may sound enticing, it’s essential to consider a few crucial factors before taking the plunge.
Can you go swimming in the Amazon River?
Swimming in the Amazon River is possible, but it is not without its risks and considerations. The Amazon River is known for its vast size, powerful currents, and diverse wildlife, including potentially dangerous creatures like piranhas and caimans.
Therefore, if you are considering swimming in the Amazon River, it is crucial to exercise caution, be aware of the potential hazards, and take necessary precautions. Consulting with local guides or authorities familiar with the area can provide valuable advice on safe swimming locations and guidelines to follow.
Has anyone swam in the Amazon River?
Yes, anyone has swum in the Amazon River. Throughout history, numerous explorers and adventurers have tested their limits by swimming parts of the Amazon River. However, it is not a common recreational activity due to the aforementioned risks and challenges associated with this mighty waterway.
So, the question is that where can I swim in Amazon? These establishments provide a controlled environment where safety measures are in place, allowing visitors to enjoy a unique swimming experience while minimizing the risks associated with the wild and untamed stretches of the river.
Is the Amazon River water drinkable?
So, the question is, Is the amazon river dangerous? The water of the Amazon River is generally not considered safe for direct consumption. The river’s water is known to contain a variety of microorganisms, bacteria, and parasites that can pose health risks to humans. These organisms can cause waterborne illnesses and infections.

Additionally, the presence of industrial pollutants, agricultural runoff, and human waste further contributes to the potential contamination of the river water. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid drinking untreated water from the Amazon River. If you are in need of drinking water while exploring the region, it is recommended to rely on bottled water or treated water from reliable sources to ensure your health and safety.
Don’t swim in the amazon river this fish will eat you
Can fish kill you? While the Amazon River is home to a wide variety of fish species, most of them are not inherently dangerous to humans. However, it is important to exercise caution as there are a few exceptions. Some fish species in the Amazon, such as electric eels and certain types of catfish, can deliver electric shocks or have spines that can cause injury if handled improperly. Additionally, the presence of piranhas in the Amazon River has led to a perception of danger. While piranhas are known for their sharp teeth and feeding frenzies, they generally pose a minimal threat to humans in natural settings. Attacks on humans are rare and are usually associated with specific circumstances, such as disturbed or injured piranhas. Overall, with proper awareness and respect for the aquatic environment, the vast majority of fish species in the Amazon River do not pose significant dangers to humans.
Amazon river animals
The Amazon River is home to an incredible diversity of animals, making it one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. The river provides a rich habitat for an array of species, including jaguars, capybaras, macaws, and howler monkeys. The dense Amazon rainforest surrounding the river is a haven for countless species, both big and small, making it a truly remarkable ecosystem.
Amazon River Attacks
As we listen about the animal attack. it is important to acknowledge that there are occasional reports of attacks by certain animals inhabiting the region. One such example is the notorious piranha, known for its sharp teeth and voracious feeding habits. Although attacks on humans are relatively rare, piranhas have been known to bite when they feel threatened or when food sources are scarce. Additionally, there have been instances of caiman attacks, as these large reptiles can be aggressive if disturbed or if they perceive humans as a potential threat. So there are fewer chances of the attack of animals if you do not harm them.
Amazon River predators
The Amazon River is home to predators. One of the most fearsome predators in the Amazon is the jaguar, renowned for its strength and agility. These elusive big cats hunt along the riverbanks, preying on various animals, including caimans, capybaras, and tapirs. Another prominent predator is the black caiman, a large species of crocodilian that can grow up to 16 feet in length. Additionally, the giant anaconda, the world’s largest snake, is a formidable predator in the Amazon, capable of overpowering and constricting large prey such as deer and wild pigs, and many more animals.

FREE HEALTH CARE
June 20, 2005
Whether you insure yourself, get health care through your employer or purchase health care for your employees, chances are you know that costs are rising. But that's not all -- you are also bearing the hidden cost of providing health care to others, says Mary Katherine Stout, a health care policy analyst at the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
This past session, the Texas Legislature passed a $139.4 billion budget, appropriating almost $38 billion for Medicaid alone. This federal and state partnership provides public health insurance to low-income Texans, driving the state budget and edging out other priorities.
- With a 14 percent increase in Medicaid funding over the previous biennium, the Legislature has catapulted Medicaid to the single largest budget item -- a full $4 billion more than the state will spend on public education.
- Over the next two years, per-capita Medicaid spending will amount to $1,690 for every man, woman and child in Texas.
- Additionally, the state will also spend $1.4 billion to fund the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
All told, the per-capita cost of Medicaid, SCHIP and state employee health insurance comes to about $1,841 for every person in Texas; that's without factoring in federal health care expenditures in Texas, state taxpayers' cost for teachers' health insurance, or the health insurance costs of city and county employees.
To fund Medicaid, CHIP and state employees' health insurance over the next two years, a family of four will pay almost $7,400. The glaring reality is that for many Texas families, the tab for other people's health care rivals what they pay for their own care, says Stout.

Civil Rights Groups Call for Moratorium on Home Foreclosures
October 7, 2010 - Posted by Tyler Lewis
The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the National Fair Housing Alliance, National Council of La Raza, the NAACP, and the Center for Responsible Lending are calling for an immediate national moratorium on foreclosures.
"Until lenders demonstrate that they are adhering to all existing laws, regulations, and contractual guidelines related to loss mitigation and foreclosure legal process, lenders in all 50 states should not move forward with any foreclosures," said the groups, in a statement.
The foreclosure crisis is still wreaking havoc on communities around the country, especially among low-income and minority homeowners who are bearing a disproportionate share of the burden. RealtyTrac, a company that tracks nationwide foreclosure activity, reported that foreclosure filings grew by four percent in August, exceeding 300,000 for the 18th month in a row.
A number of states, including California, Texas, Connecticut, and most recently, North Carolina, have instituted moratoriums after finding evidence that lenders were foreclosing on homes based on fraudulent or incorrect bank data. Groups had previously called for a moratorium in April 2007 when the foreclosure crisis was particularly bad.
"The problem of foreclosure fraud with lenders' wrongfully manipulating essential data was entirely foreseeable. Several years ago we urged Congress to make a simple change to bankruptcy laws that could have kept countless families in their homes," said Wade Henderson, president & CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. "If we don't take drastic measures now, we can expect millions of additional foreclosures in the coming years, with a disproportionate number of them involving Latino and African-American families."

Early research on this novel coronavirus suggested that some people are at a higher risk of health complications if infected with the virus. Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this includes people with the following chronic health conditions:
1. Heart Disease
People with heart disease tend to also have: elevated cholesterol, diabetes, lung disease, and high blood pressure. These diseases weekend the body’s immune system, which makes it harder to fight a viral infection.
“The fever associated with COVID-19 puts additional strain on the body’s metabolic demands, stressing out the already weakened heart,” explains Dr. William Li., physician scientist and author of Eat To Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself, “Pneumonia, which is commonly seen with COVID-19, makes it harder for the lungs to oxygenate the blood. This puts further stress on the heart.” Dr. Li suggests regular exercise (while social distancing) and eating healthy to keep your heart strong.
The American College of Cardiology issued a bulletin that suggests that fatality rates for people with cardiovascular disease are 10.5% higher than the average population. It recommends that patients with heart disease stay current on vaccines and get a flu shot.
According to the International Diabetes Foundation (IDF) when people who have diabetes are infected with a virus, it can be harder to treat due to the fluctuations in blood glucose levels. Viruses can thrive in an environment of elevated blood glucose. Diabetes causes the immune system to be compromised, which also makes it harder to fight the virus.
People with diabetes have higher levels of inflammation in their bodies. “If you have a viral infection, that can turn into pneumonia easier, because diabetes itself is an inflammatory disease,” Maria Pena, MD, director of endocrine services at Mount Sinai Doctors Forest Hill.
The International Diabetes Foundation suggests monitoring blood glucose levels to be a high priority because ANY infection can raise blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes, make sure you have stocked up on medication, testing supplies, water, and food for at least a month.
3. Chronic Respiratory Disease
Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRDs), include asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis, sleep apnea, and occupational lung disease. People with these conditions need to be extra cautious as pneumonia is a possible complication of coronavirus. Pneumonia compromises the lungs, people who already suffer from respiratory disease, this can be fatal.
It is recommended to have a 30-day medicine supply, and if you require an oxygen supply, contact your doctor to make sure you have enough to last a month.
4. Mental Health
This virus not only affects people who have the virus, but it can also be damaging to people with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression even if you are not infected with the virus.
“Fear of the virus and all the changes it’s causing are driving anxiety levels up for everyone, but for people who have an anxiety disorder it’s so much worse,” states Gail Saltz, MD, associate professor of psychiatry at the NY Presbyterian Hospital Weill-Cornell School of medicine.
People with anxiety or depression who are at home either because they lost their job, or are caring for someone who has COVID-19 might see their mental health decline. Social distancing, quarantining and losing the structure of work and school and increase these feelings.
People should take 30 minutes out of their day to focus on mental health. This could be exercising, walking, meditating or whatever gets you moving.
Stick with your daily routine as you would before the quarantine. Wake up at the same time, take a shower, get ready and go to bed at your normal time.
You can video chat with family and friends to stay social and not to feel as isolated at this time.

Sorties by the Chinese navy into the Pacific Ocean are becoming more commonplace and provide it with the means to familiarize itself with the environment surrounding Taiwan, while creating a new front from which to attack in case of conflict, an analyst said.
Four frigates from the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) were spotted in waters between Miyako Island and Okinawa Island on Friday, the Japanese Ministry of Defense said last week. All four ships, which were tracked by a P-3C patrol aircraft deployed by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Forces, were traveling from the direction of the East China Sea toward the Pacific Ocean, where they conducted exercises.
The ships — the Type 054A Jiangkai II-class missile frigate Changzhou, the Jiangwei II-class Jiangxing and Lianyungang and the Jiangwei I-class Tongling — stayed in international waters and did not enter Japanese territorial waters, the ministry said.
Source: screengrab from Google Map
All the ships, which are part of China’s East Sea Fleet, are equipped with anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles.
The 300km-wide channel between Okinawa and Miyako, known as the Miyako Strait, is regarded as one of the most convenient routes for Chinese vessels heading for the Pacific. Chinese vessels went through it in June 2010 and twice last year as they headed for exercises in the Pacific.
Such sorties have become increasingly commonplace as China’s navy gets more comfortable as an oceangoing navy, James Holmes, an associate professor at the US Naval War College, told the Taipei Times.
Holmes, who recently co-authored a study of the Chinese navy, said the Japanese Defense Ministry was now publishing maps of Chinese naval forays through the Japanese archipelago.
“The maps depict the tracks of PLAN flotillas as though ramen noodles were spilling through the home islands into the Pacific,” he said, adding that in peacetime, China had as much a right as anyone to transit through those waterways, provided they conformed to the restrictions in the Law of the Sea Treaty.
However, asked to discuss the implications for Taiwan’s security, Holmes was less sanguine.
“I have no doubt that the PLAN is familiarizing itself with the operating environment off Taiwan, including the coastal geography and underwater hydrography, and experimenting with tactics for waging war there,” he said.
“Some strategists, myself included, portray [Taiwan’s] rugged eastern coast as a kind of sanctuary for small missile boats and, potentially, submarines,” Holmes said. “It only makes sense for the PLAN to take the measure of the ‘strength and situation’ of a potential enemy before an armed clash.”
Crucially, the PLAN presence in the Pacific enhances its ability to fight all around Taiwan and not just along the west coast, which has been the traditional direction from which a Chinese attack would come, he said.
Miyako is located about 350km east off the northern tip of Taiwan, including Keelung Naval Base. The area also faces Cha Shan Air Base in Hualien.
Such encirclement of Taiwan would greatly complicate its ability to counter a naval attack and could exploit weaknesses in defenses along its east coast, which faces away from China.
“Equally important, by displaying that capability vis-a-vis Taipei and Washington, the navy enhances Beijing’s bargaining power in future dealings across the strait,” Holmes said. The PLA Navy is practicing the skills needed to coerce and deter while helping underwrite Chinese diplomacy in the bargain.”
In related developments, the People’s Liberation Army Daily announced on Tuesday that the recently commissioned Type 071 Jinggangshan landing platform dock under the South China Sea Fleet had conducted its first joint training with helicopters and air cushion boats. At 19,000 tonnes, the Jinggangshan is the heaviest LPD in the PLAN.
INCONVENIENT: The US’ new air travel policy requires all non-citizen travelers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, but the Taiwanese vaccine is not on the list The US government next month is to require all non-US nationals to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before boarding a flight to the nation, but the Taiwanese vaccine manufactured by Medigen Vaccine Biologics Corp (高端疫苗) is not on Washington’s list of acceptable vaccines. The new international air travel policy, which is to take effect on Nov. 8, requires all non-citizen, non-immigrant air travelers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before flying to the US. People are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after they receive their second dose in a two-dose series or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine, the White House said. Vaccines
DOWN, NOT OUT: The election was not a total defeat, as Chen still received 73,433 votes against the recall, and his party has ‘grown up’ through the process, he said Voters in Taichung yesterday recalled Taiwan Statebuilding Party Legislator Chen Po-wei (陳柏惟), making him the first legislator in the nation’s history to lose a recall election. A total of 77,899 votes were cast to recall Chen, while 73,433 voted against, the Taichung City Election Commission said, adding that 51.72 percent of the city’s second electoral district turned out. The Central Election Commission is to confirm the final figures within the next seven days, it said. Commission data showed that there are 294,976 eligible voters in the second district, comprised of Dadu (大肚), Shalu (沙鹿), Longjing (龍井), Wufong (霧峰) and Wurih (烏日) districts. Chen won
MILITARY RESOLVE: Washington does not want a cold war with Beijing, it just wants ‘China to understand that we’re not going to step back,’ Biden told a CNN town hall The US would come to Taiwan’s defense and has a commitment to defend the nation China claims as its own, US President Joe Biden said on Thursday, although the White House later said there was no change in policy toward Taiwan. “Yes, we have a commitment to do that,” Biden said at a CNN town hall meeting when asked if the US would come to the defense of Taiwan, which has been facing mounting military and political pressure from Beijing to accept Chinese sovereignty. While Washington is required by law to provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself, it has long
AFTERSHOCKS LIKELY: A hiker was hurt by falling rocks at the Taroko National Park, while a tower crane was damaged at a construction site in New Taipei City A series of earthquakes yesterday injured several people, damaged buildings and disrupted transportation.

I’ve been thinking about the idea of living with purpose for quite some time. It’s an interesting concept and something that can have a positive impact on your entire life. When we live with purpose, we get more done, we create meaning in our life, and most importantly, we feel happier and more fulfilled. That’s why it’s an important topic to discuss. It’s also what inspired me to create a 30 day series of blog posts around it.
Over the course of the month, we’ll take a look at living with purpose and how we can start to live more intentionally. We’ll look at how this will affect all aspects of our lives and of course, I will have plenty of hands-on tips and suggestions for you.
Let’s start today by talking a little bit about what it means to live with purpose. In essence it means that you know what you’re doing. You have goals and are passionate about what you do. Instead of simply letting the days pass you by, you work with purpose to make the most from each day.
Living with a purpose has a couple of big advantages over simply existing. When you know exactly what you want to do with your life, you have a clear plan or path. You don’t have to get up each morning and then try to figure out what you will do. You simply jump in and keep working towards the goals you set based on your purpose.
You have a clear set of core values that you follow, based on your purpose. This will come in handy anytime you have a decision to make. Think of these values as your compass that keeps you on track.
Most importantly though, living with purpose gives you a great sense of self-worth. You know what you’re doing and you’re actively working towards the goals you’ve set yourself. Not only does this increase your feeling of self-worth and self-confidence, living a purpose driven and fulfilled life will also greatly increase your overall happiness.
In the end, that’s what it’s really about, isn’t it? We all want to live a happy and fulfilled life with meaning. That’s why it’s important to start thinking about living with purpose.
Last but not least, I’d like to invite you to join me on this 30 day journey towards living life with a purpose. If you haven’t already done so, take a moment to sign up in the form to the right (and receive a free gift as well!). I will send you a short email each day as soon as the Living with Purpose blog post goes up. The email course is completely free and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Ryan Reynolds reacted to his Oscar snub with a very Deadpool Tweet
Ryan Reynolds may have been snubbed by the Academy Awards, but the Deadpool actor took it in stride.
Fans were clamoring for Reynolds to earn a nom for playing the merc with a mouth in the 2016 box office hit. However, while rival superhero films like Suicide Squad and Doctor Strange earned nods in the make-up and visual effects categories, respectively, Reynolds and Deadpool were left off the list entirely.
Reynolds responded with the perfect Tweet, writing, "Regularly scheduled tickle-fight at Camp #Deadpool is still on. Congrats to all the nominees for these brilliant films."
Reynold has another chance to earn an Oscar nom for the character when he reprises his role in Deadpool 2, due out in 2018. Until then, we can wallow in our Oscar-less sorrow by revisiting Deadpool's biggest easter eggs.

NSF Early Career Development program Career Award for Hao Li
Since coming to the University of Missouri as an assistant professor in mechanical and aerospace engineering four years ago, Hao Li has successfully “borrowed ideas from nature to design materials with an engineering approach” in his nanotechnology-related research.
Promising preliminary results in Li’s study of biomimetic nanocomposites have paid off, as he recently received notification that he is the College of Engineering’s latest recipient of a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER award for: “Fabrication of surface modified hydroxyapatite nanofibers and their composites.”
“Many things in nature have natural nanostructures, including bones, teeth and shells,” said Li explaining the inspiration for his research focus. “Bone is a mixture of minerals, collagen and water. I am looking at novel nanocomposites based on such fundamentals as human bone and tooth composites.”
Hydroxyapatite, the main inorganic constituent of bone, is made up of calcium apatite and carbonate. Li hopes to use calcium phosphate — a brittle mineral compound naturally existing in bones — and increase its strength one hundred times over with nanofabrication techniques to discover novel nanofillers and nanocomposites that have biomedical, especially orthopedic, applications.
Though the initial application of the research will be to produce bone screws and plates for use in fractures, Li has additional applications in mind.
“Eighty percent of orthopedic products are metal,” said Li. “Inflammation and infections may involve a second surgery to remove the metal implants. It is difficult to mimic nature because there are hierarchical structures within bone. We need to figure out the mechanics.”
“There are still many uncertainties,” Li continued. “But based on my experience, I don’t think people will be able to exactly mimic bone structures. A better approach may be to achieve superior non-metal materials based on the understanding of bone mechanics and structures using innovative engineering approaches.”
The researcher insists that though it is in his character to be persistent — this is the second time he has applied for a CAREER award — his research accomplishments and the NSF funding are directly related to the support he has received from his many colleagues at the university and MU alumnus and orthopedic doctor, Kenneth Lambert.
Li is delighted that the research funded by the award could potentially lead to the fabrication of non-metal orthopedic implants.
“I’m motivated to help people. That’s what makes me happy and gives me self-satisfaction,” said Li.

With the benefit of hindsight, and having lived with these recordings for a few years now, "Put Your Records On" is the best song from Corinne's self-titled 2006 album. Helped along by a video that looked as if it had been commissioned by an advertising agency ("Buy this record, and *you* could be cycling down a country lane on a summer's day with this beautiful woman", it seemed to say), the song benefits from a superbly nuanced and soulful vocal performance from Corinne Bailey Rae, plus an understated backing from her band. I recall at the time several magazine features and interviews in which she came across as an uncharacteristically well-balanced and contented individual, happily married, grounded in real life etc. Since then lurid tabloid stories have cast doubt on some of that, but transport yourself back to the pre-Amy Winehouse days of wholesome, healthy Corinne's peak with this wondrous CD single and get the highlight of her 2006 album.
Perhaps prophetically, the B-side is called "Another Rainy Day", but for now forget the rain, wheel out that bicycle and cycle down some summer country lanes in search of the spirit of this superb singer.

Lead your enchanted hordes with the glorious tune of your Potato Skin Flute.
The flute is an enchanting instrument that when played right can control the minds of the captivated audience. Pan rocked his pipes and outplayed Mt. Olympus’s residents. The Pied Piper inspired people to follow him like sheep, dancing like fools through meadows and forests. Even Saint Patrick the heartthrob priest used a wind instrument to drive the snakes out of Ireland. You too can enjoy such greatness if you embrace and master your own flute (or your man’s). Play that flute beautifully with precision and attention to detail and they will follow you anywhere you want to go. Just imagine the possibilities once you have someone under your flute’s spell and yearning for your next note. Audiences can be fickle so keep them fed so the flute party keeps going. Savory Potato Skin Flutes will do the trick. Cheeky, cheap and cheesy! You’ll be back playing the final crescendo in no time. ♪

“I’m long, and I’m strong, and I’m down to get the friction on!” – Sir Mix-A-Lot
Chicken salad makes most people think of a backyard luncheon on a Sunday afternoon after church. The respectable ladies wear their hats, fan themselves with the hymnal handouts, and nibble on dull chicken salad made with chicken, mayo, and sliced celery. I don’t blame you for dismissing chicken salad as a big old snooze-fest. But what if you substituted Mrs. Anderson’s usual yawn-inducing specialty with the Cook To Bang version turbo-loaded with all things banging? You got yourself a Whitesnake video in the backyard. The ladies will rip holes in their Sunday best, crawl across the foldout tables, and shake their teased hair around as if there’s an oversized fan conveniently blowing. The men, the good reverend included, will headbang and mosh, Jell-O cubes flying everywhere. Careful where you serve this salad! Cook To Bang is no liable for the aftermath.

Summary: He is a brilliant math Professor with a peculiar problem–ever since a traumatic head injury, he has lived with only 80 minutes of short-term memory. She is an astute young Housekeeper, with a ten-year-old son, who is hired to care for him. And every morning, as the Professor and the Housekeeper are introduced to each other anew, a strange and beautiful relationship blossoms between them. And the numbers, in all of their articulate order, reveal a sheltering and poetic world to both the Housekeeper and her young son. The Housekeeper and the Professor is an enchanting story about what it means to live in the present, and about the curious equations that can create a family.
“A problem isn’t finished just because you’ve found the right answer.”
I read this story when I took a class in Japanese Literature, and I absolutely love it. Don’t be intimated by the math. It’s a perfect lazy Sunday morning read that is not just enjoyable but has meaningful take-away. A movie from this novel called was made in 2006 but sadly I couldn’t find the trailer :<

Summary: Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Toru begins to adapt to campus life and the loneliness and isolation he faces there, but Naoko finds the pressures and responsibilities of life unbearable. As she retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself reaching out to others and drawn to a fiercely independent and sexually liberated young woman Midori.
“What happens when people open their hearts?”
“They get better.”
Since Norwegian Wood is so popular, this is by no means a review, but just some thoughts on the novel. When I read this novel a year ago, my thought was basically: “What kind of story is this?” “Is this love or sex?” “Why can’t everyone in the book just make up their minds already?” Maybe it has too many layers of meanings that I couldn’t decipher? I decided, then, that Murakami was not the author for me. But people grow up, and so am I. When I read it again for one of my classes this spring, I realized that it’s not the multilayers of meanings that make the book popular. It is the power to touch people’s hearts. Read More »
Summary: There exist familiars who have the power to grant one wish to a chosen girl. However, in return that girl must then become a magical girl and fight against witches, evil creatures born from curses that are responsible for murders and suicides. A schoolgirl named Madoka Kaname and her friend Sayaka Miki are approached by a familiar named Kyubey and a magical girl named Mami Tomoe with offers of becoming magical girls. Another mysterious magical girl named Homura Akemi tries to prevent Madoka from agreeing to the contract.
“Remember this… and take it to heart: kindness sometimes leads to even greater tragedy.”

“It’s not what you thought it would be,” said friends who recommended this show to me. In 2011, Madoka Magica was advertised as a “high school girl show” before its release. But after 3 or 4 episodes, it turned out to be something completely opposite. Madoka Majica took Japan by storm that year. Of course, if you watch the show much later (like me), there is less of the surprise factor since you know what to expect. Still, Madoka Magica with its amazing plot and art is so mind-blowing that I hope to share some of my thoughts here. (Side note: There’s no spoiler in this review. However, I do talk about the central themes that are revealed later in the show. If you want to enjoy the anime WITHOUT any source of expectations or preconceived opinions about the, I suggest skipping this review and going straight to the show. And come back to read later!

Many people said that this novel gives you a really “claustrophobic” atmosphere, with all the sand surrounding the main character. And it feels like the sand will eventually collapse on you. Admittedly, I feel the same. But don’t be discouraged! The Woman in the Dunes is an amazingly unique and intriguing novel I’ve read, since it leaves room for so many discussions and interpretations of its metaphors and images! A successful movie adaptation was made in 1964 by Hiroshi Teshigahara, and you can find the trailer here.

Summary: Kokoro—meaning “heart”—is the story of a subtle and poignant friendship between two unnamed characters, a young man Watashi (“I” in Japanese) and an enigmatic elder whom he calls “Sensei.” Haunted by tragic secrets that have cast a long shadow over his life, Sensei slowly opens up to his young disciple, confessing indiscretions from his own student days that have left him reeling with guilt, and revealing, in the seemingly unbridgeable chasm between his moral anguish and his student’s struggle to understand it, the profound cultural shift from one generation to the next that characterized Japan in the early twentieth century.
“You see, loneliness is the price we have to pay for being born in this modern age, so full of freedom, independence, and our own egoistical selves.”
I’m a little bit reluctant to call this a review or recommendation because Kokoro is one of the most famous work in modern Japanese literature. It’s like the American’s “To kill a mockingbird.” Still, I’m deeply impressed and movedby Kokoro, and I’d love to share my opinions! The novel has a film adaptation in 1955 and a less faithful anime adaptation in 2009 (episode 7 -8 in Aoi Bungaku).
I think a little historical background is crucial for this novel. Soseki is considered one of the major author of the 20th century, who is a pioneer in a Western-styled literature. He lives around the time of the Meiji period, which was marked an influx of Western influences including industrialization and culture values. The cultural and economic revolution in the Meiji era marked the beginning of modernization. Kokoro was published two years after the Meiji Emperor has died.Read More »
Summary: A nerdy otaku saved a beautiful girl on a train, and later that night posted an urgent query on the Internet forum called 2channel – How the heck does he talk to girls? What should he wear on their date? Where should they go? He was nicknamed Densha Otoko (Train Man) and the girl as Hermes on the Internet. The forum’s response was overwhelming, and the thread continued to grow along with their relationship.
Time and money can take care of stuff like studying English and going abroad, but travel agencies don’t sell tickets bound for Hermes’ house.

I finally decide to take a break from overdosing myself on Higashino-sensei’s detective novels, and do my first Manga review! I just finished reading Densha Otoko 2 hours ago. It was a total train of emotions. And if you ever feel like you need to believe in love again, this is totally the one. It was originally a real-life forum thread that got so popular that it was later published as a book, adapted into a movie (trailer here), a TV series and eventually this manga.

Summary: This engaging series of childhood recollections tells about an ideal school in Tokyo during World War II that combined learning with fun, freedom, and love. This unusual school had old railroad cars for classrooms, and it was run by an extraordinary man–its founder and headmaster, Sosaku Kobayashi – who was a firm believer in freedom of expression and activity.
Down through the ages and in the whole world, Watt and Newton cannot have been the only ones to notice the steam from a boiling kettle or observe an apple fall.
A children’s book might be refreshing break from my reading routine. Although I’m a little hesitant to review such a popular book, Totto-chan is such a unique novel that no one can ignore! Plus all the amazing illustrations from Iwasaki!
In the first chapter, Totto-chan seems like a girl that can’t be fixed: just 1st grade and she was already expelled from school. She does not seem to be a ‘normal’ kid who would be a misfit into Japan’s strict and demanding educational system. But as the stories unfold, we see an intellectually curious, courageous and even humorous. A girl so unique, yet so lively, playful and real that is much different from the flat and monotonous characters usually seen in children’s books.Read More »
Summary: When a man is found murdered in an abandoned building in Osaka in 1973, unflappable detective Sasagaki is assigned to the case. He begins to piece together the connection of two young people who are inextricably linked to the crime; the dark, taciturn son of the victim Ryojin Kirihara and the unexpectedly captivating daughter Yukiho Nishimoto of the main suspect. Over the next twenty years we follow their lives as Sasagaki pursues the case – which remains unsolved – to the point of obsession.
“If a wild cat is adopted when she has grown up a little, although she is friendly, she never really lets her guard down.”
I know right away whenever I find another favorite author: Keigo Higashino just joined the list! Journey Under the Midnight Sun is one of Higashino’s most favorite novels and was made into a TV series under the same name, a Japanese film (Into the White Night) and a Korean film (White Night). You can find Into the White Night’s trailer here. One thing to notice that all the quotes are my own translations, because I read the book in Vietnamese this time. Read More »
Summary: Souko at the age of 23 decided to get married with the amiable and liberal Sasaki who works for an advertising company, instead of the hard-working and loyal cook Kawami. Years later, Sasaki Souko meets her other self: Kawami Souko, the life that she gave up when she was young, is arm in arm with her former lover Kawami. Longing for a change, the two exchange lives for one month. In the search for new experience and meaning of life, Sasaki Souko has greatly disrupted the balance of her fate…
Her mouth tastes unpleasantly acrid and bitter. It is the taste of freedom she ever wished for.
One small thing to note is that all of the quotes here are my own translation because I don’t think this book has an English version yet (what a pity). They also made a drama adaption for the book in 2003. Blue Moshikuwa Blue is a perfect fun read for a lazy Sunday morning.

Summary: [Grotesque portraits] the malice and deceit that surround the female students of an elite all girls high school. ‘Here we have class based society in all its repugnant glory.’ [It tells the story of] the diabolically beautiful and nymphomaniac Yuriko and the isolated and aggressively competitive ‘outsider’ Kazue. Yuriko’s sister ‘Watashi’ (meaning ‘I’ – unnamed first narrator) feels deep resentment for the two, and tries her best to ruin them both. A monumental work of Kirino, which with overpowering literary style portraits the life of modern women (Øyvor Nybor’s translation of Grotesque’s summary Japanese version).
A woman who does not know herself has no choice other than to live with other people’s evaluations. But no one can adapt perfectly to public opinion. And herein lies the source of their destruction.
I struggled a bit to find a nice summary in English that could sum up Grotesque; mostly because the English version has the tag “crime fiction,” and its summary makes the novel look like a thriller.
“Tokyo prostitutes Yuriko and Kazue have been brutally murdered, their deaths leaving a wake of unanswered questions about who they were, who their murderer is, and how their lives came to this end” (Grotesque’s summary English version).
There is really no detective game in this novel. Grotesque is about complex human relationships, especially women, in modern Japanese society. The author with her profound work has explored so many problems – feminism, prostitution, family and social hierarchy etc, so intricately weaved together to create a society that leaves our characters no way out. Instead of touching base on those problems, I will just talk about my impressions with Grotesque, and what sucked me in from the very first page. Read More »

Official website of
the author of
the DCI Greg Geldard book series
Goat farmer, cheese maker and weaver Tristan Smith is working on her North Yorkshire smallholding when a chance visit by archaeologists exposes a skeleton in an abandoned WW2 bunker. But it’s not a wartime casualty.
Tristan becomes involved in the search for the truth about her predecessors, as DI Greg Geldard follows a trail from North Yorkshire to the Norfolk Broads. He is seeking justice for a long dead victim; but another casualty is hunting for a new life and a safe place to start again.
Secret Places introduces DI Greg Geldard and first responder Ben Asheton. You will meet them again in the second in the series 'Glass Arrows'.
Praise for Secret Places
'This is a unique and fascinating novel that really delves deep into society's murky depths..'
'I was hooked and engaged in this fascinating and intriguing story'
'a great book and I will look out for the rest of the series'
'Heather has woven this terrible theme (domestic violence) into the story with great skill. Not just another crime story!'
'The plotting...was fantastic' 'highly, highly recommended.'
'not your standard mystery thriller - the author successfully included an underlying message which was not allowed to overpower the story.'
'It is an astounding tale that is guaranteed to keep you entertained to the very last page'
When the body of a farmworker is found during a turkey cull, the incident falls to DCI Greg Geldard to investigate. Newly promoted and newly transferred from North Yorkshire to Norfolk, he is about to face the most challenging case of his career. As he uncovers evidence of organised crime and modern slavery, the body count rises, a friend is threatened and he struggles to bring the murderer to justice.
Glass Arrows is about loss and exploitation. Loss of belonging and certainty. Exploitation of labour, of people and of the environment. And one man’s fight to rise above his own problems to do what he believes is right.
Prey, predator or protector - which are you? Glass Arrows is the second book in the DCI Greg Geldard thriller series.
Glass Arrows: shortlisted for the 2021 East Anglian Book awards fiction prize
The 2nd in the series, ‘Glass Arrows’ was shortlisted for the 2021 East Anglian Book Awards prize for fiction. The category judge, Kate Weston of UEA, said: "Unmistakably East Anglian in its setting, ‘Glass Arrows’ explores a dark side to rural communities and agricultural crimes, and tackles such issues with realism and sensitivity, from the personal impact of a bird flu outbreak to the challenges of recognising modern slavery. Glass Arrows keeps the reader engaged from start to finish, with remarkable attention to the details of a criminal investigation by Peck. A page-turner that, as a reader, would be enjoyable on screen as well as on the page."

Praise for Fires of Hate
I have become a huge fan of Heather Peck and her character DCI Geldard.
Peck’s books do not have the outsider savant who shows the police how to do the job. They do not have the brilliant but quirky officer who ruffles everyone’s feathers but gets the job done. Instead they feature a smart and dedicated team who work well together, share a common mission, have mastered the basics, and keep working the job until something breaks. They are decent, mature adults who have decent, mature relationships with each other and with families. None of them are perfect, none of them are extraordinary. Some authors seem to feel that drama requires a brilliant but acerbic figure, a cop on the take, or some other unusual or corrupt character. Some of those authors need to read Heather Peck to discover how to find drama in the ordinary.
I’ve read both of Heather Peck’s previous books and have enjoyed them so much..... Her series of books have opened my eyes to a world of things I know very little about but, find completely fascinating, this book covers the topic of laboratory research testing and threats and then the investigation into the attack on this government department. With hidden secrets along the way there is always more to things than meets the eye and I love getting stuck into a good mystery like this which keeps me guessing.
A really brilliant series of books.
Wee Glasgow bookworm
Today is my blog tour stop for #firesofhate by the lovely Heather Peck.
I’ve given it 5 stars as it has everything I need in a book. Fantastic characters, a great storyline, and that feeling of sadness when it’s finished. Well deserved!

The Author then
I’ve had a life of two halves. In the first I was both farmer and agricultural policy adviser. I bred sheep and alpacas, reared calves, broke ploughs, represented the UK in international negotiations, specialised in emergency response from Chernobyl to bird flu, managed controls over pesticides and GM crops, saw legislation through parliament and got paid to eat KitKats while on secondment to Rowntree. In the second I chaired an NHS Trust, worked on animal welfare, sailed a boat on the Norfolk Broads, volunteered in Citizens Advice and the Witness Service and vaccinated humans against Covid. Two golden threads have run through everything; my love for both reading and writing, and the wise words of my Gran. ‘You can do anything if you try hard enough.
Now I write about the countryside and the animals I love, the industry (farming) I hold in deepest respect, and the various ways in which humans make things bad for each other and the world around them, always being very aware of the sad fact that cruelty to animals usually goes hand in hand with cruelty to other humans. Much of my time in the Witness Service and in Citizens Advice has indeed brought me face to face with some of the more tragic aspects of family life and work.
I write about the rural world because I want to share its wonders, peculiarities and hilarious moments with people who may not have been privileged to see it as I have seen it. But I wrote these books because each uncovers problems that are probably hidden to most of us and about which I care passionately.
My main protagonist has grown with each story and his life has changed in ways I couldn’t have predicted at the start. When I started writing Secret Places I did not intend Greg Geldard to be the main protagonist. But I find that he, and other characters, take on a life of their own. How they react to circumstance affects what and how they feel, and therefore how they evolve. That too gives me immense satisfaction. Greg Geldard is now a man with a rounded personality; some strengths, some weaknesses, some insights and some blind spots. I’d like to meet him.

NAYPYITAW — State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar’s de facto leader and foreign minister, for the first time spoke at the National Defense College in Naypyitaw on Tuesday.
“It was her first time. She lectured representing the Foreign Ministry. I heard that she also explained the current situation in Myanmar. She had lunch with the trainees,” a military officer told The Irrawaddy on condition of anonymity.
The officials said she also touched on Myanmar’s foreign policy and that her appearance at the college was a sign of positive relations between the military and her civilian government.
The military had invited the Foreign Ministry to deliver a series of lectures at the college.
The college trains many of the military’s colonels and has a reputation for taking in officers with leadership potential. Much of their studies focus on the politics and economies of other countries.
Other senior government officials have lectured at the college before, including Investment Commission Secretary U Aung Naing Oo, but the state counselor’s turn was especially significant, said one colonel, who asked not to be named.
“Relevant scholars have delivered lectures on politics and economics. There were also some ministers who came and lectured. But this is the first time the state counselor has lectured,” he said.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s lectures came amid her ruling National League for Democracy party’s attempts to amend the military-drafted Constitution in Parliament. The military has been resisting the move, claiming the party is not following proper procedures, which the party denies.

text: High-spirited piano-plunkers can be astonishingly polarizing, depending on whether a given listener can take all that cheerfulness: Is it okay to just pound the keys, belt out trivial lyrics, and stomp the stage without counterbalancing things with something moody or intensely introspective? For people who think happy is hokey, only appreciate Billy Joel ironically, and regard Ben Folds as nothing more than teenage nostalgia, Jukebox The Ghost is a bad idea. For everyone else, Everything Under The Sun is one of the most fun albums in years. The record is packed with remarkably addictive pop; half of these songs might be glued to your brain after one listen. The album opens like the first warm morning of the spring with the shining “Schizophrenia,” closes with the jauntily bouncing, brassy epic “Nobody,” and packs a wallop between: the vocal quirks of the sparkling “Empire”; the guitar-driven, explosive, Joel-esque “Summer Sun”; the infectious sing-along harmony of “Carrying”; the skipping, musical-theater chorus of “The Popular Thing.” If a piano-pop song has ever put a smile on your face, Everything Under The Sun belongs in your collection. If that’s never happened to you, well, why not?
