Southwest Center for the Martial Arts' "Mighty Dragons" program is an age and ability appropriate, specially designed training program that teaches more than just karate.
Karate requires that participants develop a high level of focus and discipline. The Martial Arts are primarily focused on following a series of traditional rules, forms, and techniques. As such, behavior and courtesy are considered to be the foundation of this ancient art form. Karate helps children by directing their focus to a positive means of expression and better listening skills.
Karate provides an excellent environment for developing behavior and attitude. It gives your child the chance to explore his or her innate powers. Through karate, children increase in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet this is only the start. A strong sense of self control, self discipline, self esteem, self respect, and self confidence are cultivated which empower children for success in school and other important aspects of life. All these elements help children cope with life's challenges socially and help with personal success in school and at home. It is one of the best activities a child can participate in to build confidence, self-esteem, and discipline.
We feel that one of our most important responsibilities is to empower the children that we teach with confidence, persistence, and the self discipline to succeed in school, sports, and in life.

Anyone who’s a fan of Disney has come across something from fashion and lifestyle brand Her Universe. Whether you’re a parks fan or prefer quirkier things like those found at Hot Topic, there’s no way you haven’t encountered something designed by Ashley Eckstein and her brilliant team. At her core, Eckstein is a huge fangirl of all things Disney and Star Wars. She’s also a believer in making the impossible, possible. Her book, It’s Your Universe: You Have the Power to Make it Happen is part inspirational autobiography and part personal journal/call to action written for girls in middle school and high school.
Eckstein’s first steps into building and owning a fashion company started when she discovered there was almost no Star Wars merchandise for female fans. What began as a desire to change the way female fans are viewed turned into a nationally recognized brand that’s expanded to offer options for all fans. That’s not all. The business owner is also an actress and voiced Ashoka Tano in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Her journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s led her to do amazing things, including writing a book. Eckstein tells her young readers, that they too can accomplish great things.
It’s Your Universe invites readers to experience Eckstein’s story as this particular one beings with Disney. Eckstein has always had big dreams. From wanting to be in a Disney parade, to having a role on the Disney Channel, she had a sense of certainty about those dreams and willingly set out to make them happen. Of course real life is never as easy as making a wish and Eckstein openly and honestly shares her struggles, mistakes, and successes. She highlights the advice and lessons that helped her find focus and ask tough questions when things weren’t going the way it seemed they should. She stresses the importance and value of hard work and that it’s up to you to make your dreams reality.
Eckstein speaks from her heart and has proven herself to be the real deal. Readers will know that her words are genuine. Her energy and passion jump off the page and her enthusiasm is infectious. She maintains a tone of seriousness and repeatedly emphasizes the power to control your own destiny. Somehow, she manages to provide an unlimited supply of kindness, positivity, and encouragement as well.
It’s Your Universe is written for teens and is full of drawings, pictures, quotes, and examples from Disney movies and Star Wars. At times, the Disney connections seem a little too heavy handed, but young dreamers and hardcore fans will love every reference. There are also questions from Ecksten to the reader and space for them to write their answers in the book. It’s a quick read and one that fans can and will return to when they need encouragement or help getting back on track. Eckstein’s transparency makes her trustworthy and sometimes, that’s exactly what young dreamers need.

On 11 March 2023, SANE gathered our members and supporters for a lunch meeting to discuss our ongoing work and set our course for the year ahead. Among these discussions was an exploration of the lasting potential of a People’s Plan for Glasgow, as a common network and platform for grassroots organisations in Glasgow to work together, educate ourselves and stand shoulder to shoulder to face the assault on our local democracy. We concluded this conversation by asking each of our attendees to provide a one line response to the question of what a People’s Plan can achieve. The following poem has been co-created from our responses.
A people’s plan will empower us to create an organism for positive transformation
A people’s plan will embolden us to challenge the power of the City Council.
A people’s plan for Glasgow will animate us to participate in a much improved system that can stimulate and co-create a Glasgow for the people
A people’s plan will drive us towards a more humane and equitable society
A people’s plan will authorise us to imagine a pedagogy of hope, and a train for transformation
A people’s plan will inspire us locally to know that change is possible, and to know how to achieve it
A people’s plan will facilitate us to realise a working vision for a fairer, greener, thriving Glasgow
A people’s plan will enable us to identify skills and knowledge, utilise those elements and bind them together to provide a collective focus.
A people’s plan will deliver us a system that is built to last, based on principles of transparency and empowerment
A people’s plan will fuel us to move towards democratic confederalism
A people’s plan will provide us with hope, power and the opportunity to make transformative change real.

Small blood vessels called coronary arteries supply blood and oxygen to the heart.
Some people may be given drugs to break up the clot if the artery is completely blocked. These drugs are called thrombolytics, or clot-busting drugs.
The main risk when receiving clot-busting drugs is bleeding, especially bleeding in the brain.
Thrombolytic therapy is not safe for people who have:
Other treatments to open blocked or narrowed vessels that may be done in place of or along with thrombolytic therapy include:

The first installment of the Lorien Legacies series, I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore, had us quaking in our boots with excitement, as we learned of nine alien teens who must battle the Mogadorian horde to save Earth and awaken their home planet Lorien. But the second book in the series, The Power of Six, has even more action because John Smith and Six have honed their Legacies — or superpowers — and don’t spare one evil Mogadorian. Even Number Seven and other Lorien aliens get in on the battles, ripping Mogs limb from limb. The action-packed imagery of the The Power of Six lifts off the page, and you’ll kick yourself for reading it so quickly, but with superpower-fueled battles like this, you won’t be able to stop yourself.
Add this to your fall reading list (or book burning pile): Maggie Goes On A Diet, a children’s book for elementary schoolers, about an obese 14-year-old girl named Maggie who loses weight and becomes the school soccer star.

Bitch Magazine called it “douchy.” A Huffington Post blogger called it “disturbing.” The UK’s Guardian questioned whether this book was “the worst idea ever.”

Lady Gaga maintains that “Born This Way,” complete with the high blonde ponytail styling, was not a rip-off of Madonna’s “Express Yourself.” But now it looks like Gaga is taking another page from Madge’s fame playbook.

Richardson apparently followed her for 10 months while she was on tour and recording her new album to create these images. [Huffington Post]

When a friend introduced me to the author Kate Monro over email, explaining she’d just published a book filled with virginity loss stories, I knew that I would love it, sight unseen. The First Time: True Tales Of Virginity Lost And Found (Including My Own) totally delivered! Monro, who used to work for the band Blur and for Dazed and Confused magazine, began collecting stories on a blog called The Virginity Project. For her first book, Monro collated vignettes from Brits and Americans, from grandpas to high school girls, who all reminisced about their first time with fondness, earnestness and occasional heartbreak. It may have been a long time since any of us has been a virgin, but if the bare humanity on display in The First Time is any indication, we could do well to revisit it.
Kate Monro lives in the UK, so we had to conduct our interview over email — but I’d like to imagine we chatted over cups of Earl Grey and some Tim Tams while staring off into the London fog. Our Q&A, which was edited for length and clarity, begins after the jump. Keep reading »


Manchester City are reportedly ready to make a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara and the coach Hans-Dieter Flick has admitted that he believes that a Premier League move must be the next step for the Spaniard.
Thiago has one year left on his contract with the Bundesliga giants and has told the club he would like to leave this summer for a new challenge.
He has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League champions Liverpool but it is understood that although Klopp admires the 29-year-old, a move is not likely till they let go of a key player in their midfield.
Liverpool are discussing with Georgino Wijnaldum and are yet to agree terms with the Dutchman for a new contract as he enters the final 12 months of his current contract. However, it is unlikely that the player will be looking to leave Anfield.
Therefore, the latest report of a Thiago move to Manchester City appears to be the most concrete one presently. According to French broadcaster Le10Sport claim that PSG have interest in Thiago, and include Man City in their latest report.
It can be recalled that City boss Pep Guardiola managed Thiago in his time as Barcelona manager and also brought the midfielder to Bayern when he was appointed as Bayern boss. David Silva will leave the club in the summer and a reunion between the two Spaniards at the Etihad might be on the cards.
Regardless, Flick believes that a move to the Premier League would be best for Alcantara: “As a person and as an athlete, I can understand him,’ the Bayern head coach told Sport Bild.
”Thiago played for Barcelona, and seven years for Bayern. Now he wants a new challenge, which in my opinion must be the Premier League.”
We wait to see how events pan out as the summer transfer window progresses to see where he eventually ends up ahead of the 2020/21 season.

Leiston well beaten by super Stourbridge
- Credit: Archant
Evo-Stik Southern Premier Leiston 0 Stourbridge 3 Leiston lost again at home and dropped to 10th in the league table as an excellent Stourbridge side left with all three points, writes Craig Cooper.
At times in this contest, the home side played very well but couldn’t convert the good chances they created.
Marcus Garnham and Tom Bullard were injured, so in came Charlie Beckwith and Harry Knights, while Patrick Brothers came in for Robert Eagle and Noel Aitkens replaced Ashley Nicholls.
Stourbridge, who reached the FA Cup Third Round two seasons ago, started off well and Robbie Thompson-Brown was denied by a good Knights block. Beckwith easily gathered the same player’s free kick moments later, while Joe Jefford headed over Byron Lawrence’s free kick for Leiston’s first chance.
Patrick Brothers’ deft header set Jake Reed away, but James Wren in the visitors goal saved well.
You may also want to watch:
Then Aaron Forde put Stourbridge ahead in the 20th minute as he was given time to unleash a strike into Beckwith’s bottom right hand corner. Before the break, Brothers fired over for Leiston and Byron Lawrence had a shot blocked, while Knights headed wide.
Leiston started well in the second half and worked a couple of good opportunities, but Stourbridge soon doubled their lead. The lively Luke Benbow got away from Joe Jefford and dribbled into the penalty area to once again give Beckwith no chance.

Christy Finch went narrowly wide with a free kick, and an excellent Kyle Hammond cross couldn’t be turned into the net and Hammond was unlucky not to score a few moments later as his shot was blocked.
Lawrence was foiled by Wren and Forde shot way over crossbar as time was running out. Leon Broadhurst struck the crossbar when well placed for Stourbridge and Rob Eagle cleared off the line, with the midfielder, who had just come on as sub, having to be replaced.
The game was made safe for Stourbridge in the first minute of added on time as sub Kaiman Anderson finished off a good team move. Beckwith saved well late on from the same player as the points headed back to the West Midlands.

HSINCHU, Taiwan – Jan. 11th, 2022
In response to the strong demand of the global industry 4.0 smart manufacturing market, ASIX Electronics Corporation (Taiwan Stock Exchange: 3169: Taiwan) has continuously deepened the development of industrial Ethernet controller solutions, and launched the cost-effective AX58x00 family EtherCAT slave controllers/microcontrollers solutions for industry Ethernet fieldbus applications. In order to further provide customers with complete industrial Ethernet fieldbus solutions, ASIX actively invests in the development of new IO-Link master communication protocol stack technology, and today launches the newest "AX58400 EtherCAT to IO-Link Gateway Solution", which combines EtherCAT industrial Ethernet fieldbus technology and IO-Link intelligent communication technology. Using this EtherCAT slave to IO-Link master gateway solution, customers can easily install the newest IO-Link smart sensors and actuators on EtherCAT industrial Ethernet networks in smart factory.
The IO-Link intelligent communication standard (IEC61131-9) is the world’s first open standard point-to-point serial communication protocol for communicating with smart sensors and actuators. The IO-Link communication system consists of an IO-Link master and IO-Link devices such as smart sensors and actuators. The IO-Link master can access information such as manufacturing process data, device configuration parameters and self-diagnosis results from IO-Link devices, and can establish two-way digital data exchange with industrial Ethernet fieldbus PLC. Therefore, the industrial PLC can remotely receive the manufacturing process data from IO-Link smart devices, monitor the health status of IO-Link smart devices for preventive equipment maintenance or replacement, and configure the parameters of IO-Link smart devices to meet various manufacturing needs. It is worth mentioning that the IO-Link intelligent communication technology and industrial Ethernet fieldbus technologies, such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, etc., are a cooperative relationship rather than a competitive relationship. Using IO-Link intelligent communication technology, industrial computers can be easily connected to IO-Link master via industrial Ethernet fieldbus networks to remotely monitor and configure IO-Link smart devices, so manufacturers can easily build up more flexible and effective manufacturing environment in smart factory.
AX58400 EtherCAT to IO-Link gateway solution supports up to 8 IO-Link devices, such as smart sensors and actuators, through AX58400 EtherCAT Slave Controller with Dual-Core MCU and ASIX’s own IO-Link Master Protocol Stack. AX58400 is equipped with the highest-performing 480MHz ARM® Cortex®-M7 core, 240MHz ARM® Cortex®-M4 core that can operate in parallel, EtherCAT Slave Controller integrated with two embedded Fast Ethernet PHYs, and embedded 2Mbytes dual-bank Flash memory and 1Mbyte SRAM. This solution uses the highest-performing ARM® Cortex®-M7 core to process the IO-Link master protocol stack operation for supporting up to 8 IO-Link devices; and uses the ARM® Cortex®-M4 core to process EtherCAT slave protocol stack operation in parallel. Using AX58400 dual-core MCU architecture can effectively reduce the CPU load of microcontroller and generate a higher-performance EtherCAT slave to IO-Link master gateway solution.


This work addresses the vibration control of a contactless magnetic transmission system. A learning controller is utilized in this work due to limited actuator bandwidth and uncertainties in the resonant frequencies. Performance of the controller is evaluated under self-resonance, forced oscillation, and transient response. Self-resonance is completely eliminated; while for forced oscillation, the disturbance is attenuated. Stabilization time of the transient response is also significantly reduced, thereby confirming the vibration suppression capabilities of the controller.

For Chicago Bears second-round defensive tackle Ego Ferguson, declaring for the draft at the end of his junior year at LSU was a difficult decision, but a necessary one. His family needed him and Ego was more than willing to step up.
"My mom, Brenda Bryant, got hurt on the job and I felt it was my time to take some of the family's financial burden off of her and assume it for myself," Ferguson said shortly after he was selected.
Ferguson characterized his mother as a "strong woman who had the difficult job of raising myself and my brothers mostly by herself. She never complained and never put her own needs ahead of ours. For that I will be eternally grateful."
The 2013 season was Ferguson's first, and last, season as a starter for LSU but he provided leadership for a defensive squad decimated by a big graduation class and numerous underclass defections.
"I stepped up and did what I felt needed to be done for the defensive unit of the Tigers," Ferguson said.
Ferguson was regarded as one of the nation's top high school defensive end prospects in 2009. As a junior he posted 97 tackles with 14 sacks at Saint John's Catholic Preparatory School. His senior year, Ferguson transferred to Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia, more than 250 miles form his Mims, Florida home.
"My dad and I discussed the move at length," Ferguson said. "We decided to view it as an early move to college. Relocating was something I wanted and needed to do in order to further my athletic career. Hargrave provided an extremely high level of athletic competition and I thrived on that."
Ferguson missed the final LSU game of his junior season due to an unspecified violation of team rules. He admitted the punishment was just and that it was a learning experience that was extremely painful at the time.
"How disappointing was it to watch my last LSU game form home?" Ferguson said. "I can't even put that into words. But I believe that everything happens for a reason and it was something I learned from."
The Bears flew Ferguson to Halas Hall before his pro day, giving the young player ample time to speak to coaches.
"These are great people here. I felt at home almost immediately and knew I could contribute in a positive manner to this team."
What, exactly, does Ferguson feel he can bring to the Bears?
"I'm athletic, I move around well, I'm fast, and definitely fiercely competitive," he said. "I am willing to do whatever it takes to get that win. I know some experts kind of dissed me in the draft saying I'd be a reach to get picked in the early rounds but I take that as a challenge. My job is to prove those experts wrong through my play on the field."
Ferguson missed the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine due to a high ankle sprain that occurred during positional drills but he was confident that his production at LSU would speak for itself.
"I knew I was ready for the NFL and that I could come in and contribute. My job was to convince the coaches during my visit to Chicago that I could add positives to their team."
Ferguson's other job was to take care of his mom.
"It's appropriate that this weekend is Mother's Day," Ferguson said. "I owe everything to her. We all do. Getting this opportunity to take care of her through my profession is an incredible thing. I want her to know how grateful I am and how hard I will try to succeed as my way of thanking her."
Beth Gorr has been covering the Bears for the last 12 years and is the author of Bear Memories: The Chicago-Green Bay Rivalry. She is currently working on a second book about early Bears history.

Hello All. So the news is making the rounds. Not only did Uber get breached in 2016 affecting 57 million users, but they covered it up by paying the hackers responsible $100,000 to keep quiet and destroy any evidence of the event.
Uber acknowledged on Tuesday that two individuals in October 2016 had accessed and downloaded data on 57 million Uber riders and drivers that was stored in a third-party infrastructure system. The company says none of its own systems were breached.
As part of the cyber-attack, the names and driver license numbers of around 600,000 drivers were accessed, according to Uber. 57 million Uber users also had their information exposed, including names, emails, and mobile phone numbers, the company said in a blog post. Uber said other personal information, including trip details or credit card information, was not accessed.
According to news sources, Travis Kalanick, the CEO at the time, first learned of the incident in November 2016, when Uber was working on a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission for various privacy violations. The company chose to pay the hackers the ransom to delete any evidence and keep the event a secret.
Uber’s current CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has asked for the resignation of Uber’s Chief Security Officer, Joe Sullivan, and a lawyer who reported to him.
I can only imagine that Lyft business is going to be doing better in the months to come.

BROOKLYN, NY (PIX11)—Community leaders are calling for the removal of a Halloween decoration on a Brooklyn street they say is racist and insensitive to residents.
The decoration which is described as a black scarecrow, hangs from a tree in the Fort Hamilton section of Brooklyn.
According to City Councilman Charles Barron, the display which he describes as "grotesque," needs to be removed and the individuals responsible for putting it up need to be publicly denounced. He is calling for its immediate removal.

"The scarecrow is offensive and reprehensible not only to the Black Community, but to all those who have a history of persecution and, or have been victimized by lynch mobs," Barron's office said in a statement Wednesday.
"The perpetrators of this horrific display are only acting out what they conceal in their hearts."
Barron along with other leaders of the Black Community held a press conference Wednesday afternoon where NYPD officers removed the display without incident.
It wasn't immediately clear who put up the Halloween decoration or whether the home owner is aware of the controversy behind the display.


2 Minivans With the Best Chance to Last Over 225K Miles
The minivan may not be the darling of the family-hauler class the way it was 15 years ago, but their use of space remains unparalleled. The most common critique of the family 3-row SUV is typically related to the third row. Not many are actually suited to adults—or people with legs. Unless you’re over 6 feet tall, minivans are usually pretty comfortable in the third row.
More important than the need for comfortable seating, most families need their vehicles to take some abuse and rack up some miles. iSeeCars has done a study to determine the minivans with the greatest potential lifespan. According to the study, only two have a potential lifespan of over 225,000 miles.
How does iSeeCars determine potential lifespan?
To make the lists as accurate as possible, iSeeCars analyzed over 2 million cars between January and October of 2022. Compared to the 282 million vehicles registered in the United States, that may not seem like a huge number, but it is a good enough sample size to get a reasonably accurate idea of a vehicle’s average longevity.
The criteria for these 2 million cars were as follows: no heavy-duty trucks or commercial vehicles were counted, and only models that had 10 years of production between 2002 and 2021 were counted.
Additionally, only vehicles still being produced as of 2020 were considered for the list. For the cars that fit this criteria, the top 1% in mileage was then used to compile the rankings. In other words, the highest mileage examples within the 2 million vehicles analyzed make up the top 1%.
The Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna were the only minivans with a top 1% eclipsing 225,000 miles. Let’s take a closer look at these vans.
Honda Odyssey & Toyota Sienna go nearly 240k miles
Unsurprisingly, the top two vehicles on iSeeCars list are from Honda and Toyota. Both companies have built a reputation for reliability. The Dodge Grand Caravan and Kia Sedona are also on this list, but only manage to eclipse 200k miles.
Coming in second place is the Honda Odyssey with a “potential lifespan” of 235,852 miles. Given the Honda has been using a variation of the J35 V6 since the 2nd generation began in 1999, it’s not all that surprising that there are quite a few high-mileage Odysseys out there.
Honda, like Toyota, tends to slowly develop and improve their powertrains over many years resulting in some pretty bulletproof engines and transmissions.
The minivan with the highest “potential lifespan” is the Toyota Sienna at 239,607 miles. Like Honda, Toyota has been slowly developing their 2GR-FE and later the 2GR-FKS since the 2GR-FE was introduced for the Sienna in 2007.
Both engines, like the engine in the Odyssey are 3.5L V6’s and both have very good reputations for reliability and durability.
How far can these vans really go?
You may be wondering what “potential lifespan” means for the overall longevity of these vehicles. When asked about the term, iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer said, “And to be clear, this study isn’t reporting the maximum lifespan of these vehicles. This is simply a measure of current odometer readings. Most of these cars are still in use and going strong.”
That being the case, there are likely vehicles on the list that have higher mileage, but were not included in the 2 million car sample size, so if you’re shouting at the screen that your Odyssey has 310,000 miles—iSeeCars has recognized that their list is not 100% comprehensive.
However, it’s safe to say that these Japanese-made minivans are some of the best you can buy. Naturally, no car is perfect and both the Sienna and Odyssey have had some issues here and there, but studies like these prove the continued longevity of vehicles made by Honda and Toyota.

Aside from that, I've actually had a real live social life for a change! It is SO strange to go from hardly ever hanging out with friends to almost always having something to do. :) Here's a photo of my two awesome new buddies:
|Annette & Janette|
|Together, we make the 3 Amigas! :) hehe|
So anyways, that's another aspect to my absence!
But since this is primarily a polish blog, I suppose you'd like to see one, huh? This is one of the last polishes I wore before my nails became all different lengths and I cut them down to nubs. I give you another fabulous Hare Polish creation: Anemone Gardens!!!
Lookit that amazing jelly & glitter goodness!! L♥VE.From the second I saw her swatches of it, I knew I was going to buy it at the announced release. And I did.
Most of the photos I've seen of AG make it look like a cool-toned purple/fuchsia when IRL, it's a much warmer fuchsia almost magenta, more like the color of the circle glitters. I suppose it has an element of neon to it, hence the issue with capturing the color correctly. Neons don't play nice!
I love the "glowing blue shimmer" you can clearly see here! Some reviews said it wasn't very noticeable, but to me it sure is. Nikole's polishes are so interesting and usually have a lot going on - in a good way. Some indies I've seen & used to love have taken it to the extreme and there is just too much "stuff" on the nail, in my opinion. Hare has a wonderful balance.
The other nice thing about Hare Polish is despite having good-sized glitters, they are pretty darn smooth when dry, and this was no exception! I used two coats over the two coats of OPI's Care to Danse? that I happened to have on when this arrived. :)
Okay, I have to include this pic... Previously, I'd only ordered Hare Polish on Llarowe, but this time I purchased directly from her Etsy store as AG was a brand-new release. Look at the other adorable bunnies she uses to personalize her packages!
I especially love the "Hare Mail" pun. hehe! :D
|And of course, the adorable bunny on the bottle... baby. ;)|

The animated series “Odd Taxi” will expand with a feature film this year
Animated series Strange taxi will follow its critically acclaimed debut season with a feature film titled Strange taxi: in the woods.
The film was announced on Christmas Day (December 25) via a trailer posted by the show’s social media accounts.
Strange taxi: in the woods will premiere in Japan on April 1, although there is no indication at this time whether the film will receive international distribution.
According to Anime news network, the film will be a “reconstruction” of the first season of the surprise hit – and also pick up where the season finale left off.
Watch the trailer for Strange taxi: in the woods below.
Strange taxi takes place in a version of Tokyo inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, where a 41-year-old walrus named Odokawa works as a taxi driver, who spends his time listening to the radio and chatting with various animal passengers.
He soon finds himself immersed in the bowels of the city, where a police case surrounding a missing high school girl begins to implicate him.
The film will see the return of the cast and crew from the original animated series, directed by Baku Kinoshita and written by Kazuya Konomoto.
Strange taxi originally premiered its first season, which included 15 episodes, in April 2021 to rave reviews.
The number one ranked show on NMEThe 10 Best Asian TV Shows of 2021. Writer Hidzir Junaini praised Strange taxi for âwalking a fine line between the mundane and the absurdâ and his âexceptionally witty and dialogue-oriented contributionâ which âoffers cutting-edge explorations of deeply rooted emotional and psychological issuesâ.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — At the start of the new school year, when asked, “What did you do over your summer vacation?,” few in Maine will be able to top Mount Merici Academy student Noah Koch’s answer: “I was honored at the White House and met President Obama.”
Noah, 9, will enter the fourth grade at Mount Merici Academy, a Catholic school (PK-6) in Waterville, in September. But on Tuesday, July 9, he was honored as part of the Kids’ State Dinner at the White House after being selected as a winner in First Lady Michelle Obama’s Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, a recipe contest for kids across the country that promotes healthy eating for children in the United States. The contest is part of Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative, a program developed to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity. Fifty-four winners from more than 1,300 entries were selected, including Noah’s recipe for Vegan Powerhouse Pesto Pasta.
“Noah’s younger brother has serious health issues and making food that everyone can eat can be challenging,” said Noah’s mom, Hilary. “This recipe is gluten-free and vegan; things that many people often think mean sacrificing favorite comfort foods or flavor. It took us a while to create a pesto recipe that was tasty, super healthy, and easy to make.”
Each recipe had to meet the USDA’s healthy meal criteria and had to represent each of the five food groups. Fruits and vegetables were required to be part of at least half of the recipe.
President Obama made a surprise appearance at the dinner and went around to each table to meet the winners, including Noah.
“Usually, at a state dinner, I get invited, so I don’t know what happened on this one,” President Obama said. “I hear the food is pretty good.”
The kids, ranging in age from 8 to 12, even got to experience an arrival ceremony in which they were officially announced as they made their way through the booksellers’ entrance of the White House. After the meal, recipe winners were treated to a performance by 15-year-old singer Rachel Crow before getting a tour of the White House kitchen garden.

Just over half of physicians at two of Malaysia’s leading medical universities expressed some intention to discriminate against patients with HIV in a survey. Dr Tee Ying Chew of the University of Malaya and colleagues published the results in AIDS and Behavior.
Around 90,000 people are living with HIV in Malaysia, with HIV concentrated among stigmatised groups, including men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, transgender women and female sex workers. Only 28% of people with HIV receive HIV treatment, with stigma being seen as a barrier to further uptake.
All physicians, working in a range of medical specialities, who were employed at two medical universities were sent the survey, which was completed by 568 of the 1431 physicians. Participants had been practicing medicine for an average of ten years.
The researchers used a validated scale to measure intention to discriminate against people with HIV, with four items:
- I am willing to work with HIV+ patients.
- I am willing to provide the same care to HIV+ patients as other patients.
- I am willing to do physical exams on HIV+ patients.
- I am willing to interact with HIV+ patients the same way I interact with other patients.
Strongly agreeing with a statement scored 1; agreeing 2; neutral 3; disagreeing 4 and strongly disagreeing 5.
The mean score on this scale was 1.6, with 54% of doctors having a score greater than 1.0, indicating some intention to discriminate. Furthermore, 4% had a score of 3.0 or higher, indicating a moderate to high intention to discriminate.
In multivariate analysis, the socio-demographic profile of participants (religion, ethnicity, gender etc.) was not associated with intention to discriminate. But doctors working in surgical specialities were more likely to discriminate, perhaps due to greater concerns about occupational exposure.
Physicians with greater discriminatory intent also expressed more negative feelings toward people living with HIV, more HIV-related shame, were more fearful of HIV, and believed that people with HIV do not deserve good care. The researchers say that educational interventions to tackle these kind of attitudes are needed.

Low Impact Sustainable Development (LISD) is expanded version of Low Impact Development (LID). The focus of LID is on stormwater management. The concept of LID was pioneered by Larry Coffman of Princes George County, Maryland to address primarily water quality issues of runoff entering Chesapeake Bay. Runoff from both developing areas as well as agricultural uses within the immediate watershed of Chesapeake Bay were discharging significant nutrient loads as well as other pollutants into the Chesapeake Bay. The pollutants in the runoff, particularly nitrogen and phosphorous were adversely affecting the water quality in the Bay, which in turn affected the aquatic species in the bay, which much of the local economy depends on.
The goal of LID is to mimic pre-development hydrologic conditions for small frequent rainfall events and also to filter the runoff to remove as much as the pollutant load as possible from the runoff prior to discharging to a wetland or watercourse. Research has documented that between 85 to 90 percent of our annual rainfall occur as 1″ or less within a 24 hour period. The 1″ rainfall event is known at the 90% storm event is the basis of LID stormwater designs.
A major hydrologic goal of LID and LISD is to maintain natural infiltration rates by soil type for post-development conditions for the 90% rainfall event. By reducing surface runoff volumes, potential flooding is reduced.
LISD encompasses a broader approach in the development field to create development patterns which result in sustainable projects, minimizing impacts on the environment, such as land, air and aquatic resources. The implementation of LISD requirements creates development patterns which are in harmony with the natural environment and will provide many environmental benefits, such as reduced pollutant loads from impervious surfaces, cleaner air by allowing natural vegetation to remain to take in carbon dioxide and give back oxygen and a reduction of thermal impacts in stormwater by reductions of impervious areas. By reducing runoff volumes directed to receiving streams, changes in stream channel morphology are reduced.
In addition to using the LID approach to stormwater management, LISD encompasses regulatory changes and development processes to minimize changes to the natural land form for any type of development as well as preserving sensitive environmental resources and large extents of the property in its natural condition.
From a residential development perspective, LISD focuses on creating livable development patterns, which include cluster type development which will minimize the extent of impervious area on a site, while connecting people with the natural environment through the inclusion of usable green spaces areas throughout the development.
For commercial developments, the LISD approach can minimize site disturbance and thus retain more of the site in a natural condition. Green spaces, which have a dual function of providing stormwater management are located throughout the development providing a connection to the natural area. Impervious areas are minimized to reduce urban heat island impacts, while increased native trees provide a resource for the sequestering of carbon and increasing oxygen in the air.
It has also been shown that LISD practices are cost effective to implement for projects, when compared to conventional structural stormwater management systems. While some LISD systems, such as permeable asphalt or porous concrete materials are more expensive than conventional asphalt or concrete material, by the elimination of structural drainage systems, there is net cost saving.
There are several aspects to LISD which lead to a sustainable development project. The first is Environmental Site Design (ESD). ESD starts with identifying the natural resources on a site such as the following:
- Wetlands, watercourses, marshes, ponds and vernal pools
- Steep slopes (generally > 25%)
- Soil Types
- Vegetative communities
- Unusual site features (ledge outcrops, vistas)
- Existing drainage patterns
Once these natural resources have been identified, the development approach is one to preserve the most environmentally sensitive resources and prevent development from occurring in these areas to the maximum extent possible.
Once the developable area has been identified, a suite of LISD tools are applied to create the sustainable development.
- Laying out the road to follow existing contours thus reducing site clearing and grading requirements
- Use of Cluster or Planned Development concepts to reduce the size of building lots and provide for more land to remain in its natural state. Density of development is not reduced under this concept, simply the area utilized for the development
- Orientation of proposed development without increasing the extent of land disturbance to maximize the opportunities for passive solar on the building
- Use of “site fingerprinting” to define a permissible site clearing percentage for residential lots which is flexible, yet allows for a defined extent of the natural vegetation to remain undisturbed
- Reduction of impervious areas, such as narrower roads which do not compromise emergency access
- Disconnection of impervious areas, such as directing roof drains to bioretention cells (aka rain gardens), or onto vegetated surfaces
- Directing of roof drains to rain barrels or cisterns for recycling and reuse of runoff for irrigation purposes
- Use of soil tilling and/or soil amendments to restore and increase infiltrative capacity of disturbed soils around the development
- Reduction or elimination of structural drainage systems to the maximum extent practical along roads and driveway and the use of dry or wet swales for the collection and conveyance of runoff
- Use of native vegetation for landscaped areas to reduce the potential for fertilizers and pesticides
- Minimize the area of potential lawn areas to further reduce the application of fertilizers and pesticides
LISD has the same approach to stormwater as LID, which is mimic pre-development hydrology conditions. From a soils perspective, more of the development density should be placed on the soils with have low natural infiltration capabilities. As these soils do not infiltrate much runoff in their natural condition, they is only a small difference when an impervious surface is placed on them. Development density on well drained soils should be reduced to provide undisturbed areas where runoff can be infiltrated into these soils with moderate to high infiltrative capacity.
LISD treatment systems include the following commonly used systems such as Bioretention (aka rain gardens), dry swales, wet swales, permeable pavement systems, vegetated filter strips, infiltration basins and trenches.

Illustration Friday ~ STORM
No surprise that the prompt for today's Illustration Friday is STORM...given that those of us in the Northeast are bracing for what could be an historic weather event.
My journal page focuses on the bright side; we're all able to weather the STORM (real or metaphorical) with a smile, if we choose to do so. I choose to ride out this storm alongside a crackling fire with a hot cup of coffee and (most of) my family safe at home. (Son #1 will ride out the storm at his college apartment.)
To see the myriad of takes on the prompt, hop on over to Illustration Friday and check out all of the marvelous artwork there is to see.

Two separate studies have raised hopes that scientists may one day be able to combat the debilitating effects of Parkinson's disease.
The degenerative disorder is caused by the destruction of brain cells that produce the chemical dopamine, and symptoms include tremors, rigid muscles, and difficulty walking.
In the first trial, experts at Weill Medical College, part of Cornell University in New York, found gene therapy injections to the brain can significantly ease the condition.
Eleven men and one woman were injected with a virus carrying the GAD (glutamic acid decarboxylase) gene, which calms over-excited brain cells.
Within three months the patients made "substantial" improvements in movement, and these continued for at least a year, the research published in The Lancet shows.
The second pioneering study in the journal Science may eventually lead to drugs with the potential to cure Parkinson's.
Doctors from Massachusetts General Hospital Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease in Boston found that blocking the action of a brain protein called SIRT2 may help prevent damage to neurons.
The findings could lead to new drugs for Parkinson's that may also aid the fight against other brain diseases associated with ageing, such as Huntington's and Alzheimer's.
Study leader Dr Aleksey Kazantsev said: "We have discovered a compelling new therapeutic approach for Parkinson's disease, which we expect will allow our scientists to pursue innovative new drugs that will treat and perhaps even cure this disorder."

More Nurse Practitioners for Ontario Long-Term Care a Start, But Not Enough, says Ontario Nurses’ Association
October 5, 2022
Toronto, ON, October 5, 2022 – The announcement made this morning by the Ontario government reiterating a commitment made a year ago to fund up to 225 additional Nurse Practitioners to work in provincial long-term care homes – while a start – will take three years to implement and is far too few to meet the needs of Ontario’s 627 long-term care homes, says Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) President Cathryn Hoy, RN.
Hoy says that “ONA has long urged this government to fund more full-time Nurse Practitioners (NPs) for long-term care, to bring their exceptional skills, education and knowledge and enable them to provide care to residents who are medically complex. While this is a start, the timelines can and should be accelerated to benefit residents.”
ONA’s recommendation to Ontario’s Long-Term Care COVID-19 Commission states there should be at least one NP who is an employee of the home for every 120 residents, given the present acuity of Ontario residents.
Hoy adds that this government’s stated commitment to providing the right care in the right setting for patients is at odds with Bill 7, the government’s legislation to transfer alternate-level-of-care patients out of hospitals and into long-term care homes.
“ONA strongly opposes Bill 7,” says Hoy. “There are better solutions to address the health-care crisis than coercing patients into a long-term care home that may be far from their community and support networks. Every solution begins with a comprehensive plan to fix the serious nursing shortage, not more stop-gap measures. Without nurses, no sector of health care can properly function.”
Recent polling from Angus Reid shows that 53 per cent of those polled (1,002 respondents) consider moving patients out of acute care into long-term care to be a violation of patients’ rights.
ONA is the union representing more than 68,000 nurses and health-care professionals, as well as 18,000 nursing student affiliates, providing care in hospitals, long-term care facilities, public health, the community, industry and clinics.

Since I really don’t have a gift for polymer clay I have a lot of bits and pieces- mostly happy accidents. Unfortunately they do not lend themselves to jewelry making so they just sit there.
One day last year I got an idea- why not use the pieces as ambellishments on cards? I liked the idea, and so did the magazine Polymer Cafe, so my cards were published in the December 2009 issue.
You might assume that after the article I would have used all my polymer pieces up, but boy would you be wrong! I sometimes wonder if those little buggers get together and make baby polymer pieces. Since I still have numerous clay pieces left I decided to make several more cards to share with you. All have clay pieces on them, and most have other embellishments as well. Hope you enjoy them and maybe start a fire in your imagination.
Have a great week.

First data on the age of rocks from the northern flank of the Olkhon terrane, western Baikal area
- 19 Downloads
The metamorphic complexes in the northern part of the Olkhon terrane (Zunduk megazone), Central Asian Fold Belt, are studied. It is found that the age of gneiss–granites, which correspond to granites of type I formed within the active continental margin, is 800 ± 11 Ma, whereas the age of the protolith of epidote–muscovite–feldspar–quartz schist, which formed by metamorphic reworking of island-arc volcanic rocks, is 650–630 Ma. New results and those published earlier show that the structure of the Olkhon terrane contains traces of at least three stages of different ages when suprasubduction processes were manifested. The earliest episode (∼850‒800 Ma) occurred within the Panthalassa, and the subsequent ones (∼650‒620 and ∼500 Ma) occurred in the Paleoasian Ocean. New data give us grounds to consider protoliths of the studied rocks from the northern flank of the Olkhon metamorphic terrane as products of convergence-related processes that took place within the limits of the paleooceans in the Late Precambrian, rather than in the Pleoproterozoic as was supposed earlier.
