How to Survive and Even Thrive During Holidays When You Have a Chronic Illness
Thanksgiving is coming up soon. If you are on dialysis or a care partner, you may find it a challenge to be thankful. There are so many things to not be thankful about—not being able to eat and drink everything you like, having to schedule dialysis when you’d rather spend time doing something fun, putting large needles in your arm or having to place them into someone you care about, and never knowing how you’ll feel from day-to-day physically and emotionally. For dialysis staff, it’s hard to be thankful when you’re working very hard, and it doesn’t seem like anyone around you appreciates your effort. But this is the time of year when we’re supposed to count our blessings.
To write this blog I did a Google search for “Thanksgiving with a chronic illness.” I found an article in Psychology Today with some tips that might help with coping. The social worker author started the article with a quote from A.A. Milne, "Piglet noticed that
even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude." She then wrote about spending an afternoon with children who had chronic illnesses. As they talked about all the bad things about having their chronic illness, they drew self-portraits that showed how they saw themselves, their hobbies, games they played, their loved ones, pets, foods, where they lived, trees and flowers, sunshine, and more—all the things in their lives that made them happy. The author reminded us that we can grieve the losses in our life while being grateful for those things we have. She suggested taking one letter of the alphabet each day starting with the letter A and going through the letter Z and writing something beside that letter that makes you thankful.
Gratitude and Mood
The article author cited research that found that people with inflammatory bowel disease or arthritis who had gratitude were less likely to be depressed. The introduction to the research she cited reported other research that also found that gratitude is associated with better well-being, coping and sleep in people with different chronic illnesses. Gratitude was even found to predict reduced depression. There is evidence that positive events over time can help improve gratitude, and there are techniques to improve gratitude—which has been found to improve mental health in healthcare workers.
Measuring Your Sense of Gratitude & related factors
How can you measure your level of gratitude, and after you measure it, how can you increase that level? A survey called the Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6) has 6 questions, each scored from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 7 (Strongly agree). Two questions are reverse-scored. The higher the score, the more gratitude you feel. This survey has good internal reliability.
There is evidence that the score on the GQ-6 is positively related to hope, optimism, life satisfaction, forgiveness, empathy, spirituality, religiousness and prosocial behavior—social behavior that benefits others, and negative related to envy, materialism, depression, and anxiety. A small study developed an internet-based intervention to increase gratitude. Another article reported that gratitude interventions have reduced cardiovascular disease, inflammatory biomarker levels, increased healthy lifestyle behaviors, improved medication self-management, and increased sleep quality. You can find interventions, exercises, worksheets and more to boost gratitude at this site.
The Thanksgiving Dinner Challenge
If you’re eating at home and choosing what to fix and cooking your Thanksgiving dinner, you can choose foods that are kidney-friendly and make your favorite foods with low sodium spices. There are several sources of holiday tips and recipes, including the American Kidney Fund, DaVita, Fresenius, the National Kidney Foundation, the Renal Support Network,
If you’re eating at someone else’s home, ask what they’re planning to have—and volunteer to bring something you know you can eat. Talk with the dietitian to find out which will be your best choice(s). If there are many foods that are not kidney-friendly, consider taking your own meal and letting the host/hostess know. When sitting down to eat at the Thanksgiving table, start a gratitude chain. We have done this in my family, and it can be eye-opening and entertaining: when each person says one thing they’re grateful for, it helps to create a positive atmosphere for the meal. Spending time with friends and family can make us feel grateful.
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

February 19th, 2017
My family has been visiting the Palm Springs area for decades but this February’s visit was the first time we delved into the architectural history of the area.
We hooked up with Michael Stern, a vivacious and knowledgeable tour guide who has written two architecture books and runs The Modern Tour (sometimes fourteen times a week!) from his desert home. With four other passengers, my husband and I were driven through Palm Springs proper and visited and toured through more than twenty significant properties, including the innovative Albert Frey House II (the original “tiny house” — but much cooler), which is a part of the permanent collection of the Palm Springs Art Museum. One home-owner was perusing his emails and we walked through his modern gem.
The highlight of the trip for me was the Frank Sinatra home, which is owned by friends of Michael Stern and available by rental for events or vacations.
Sinatra initially requested designs for a Georgian-style mansion, complete with a brick facade and column. The architect architect E. Stewart Williams was appalled. Sinatra had just made his first million and wanted to celebrate in grand style but didn’t have a clue about what Palm Springs design was all about.
However, with renderings of a house composed of long horizontal tines and non-traditional building materials, the architect Williams was able to lure Sinatra away from the idea of a Georgian house towards something more “desert appropriate”. Later, Roger Williams, Stewart’s architectural partner and brother, reflected “We’d have been ruined if we’d been forced to build Georgian in the desert.”
Though the house was only accessible to Hollywood’s elite, the rest of the world caught a glimpse of Twin Palms in Joan Crawford’s 1950 film The Damned Don’t Cry. Sinatra apparently repaid a favor he owed by permitting his house to be used in the movie, though he was insistent that only shots of the exterior could be taken. The house received additional exposure when it was photographed by renowned architectural photographer Julius Shulman. Shulman’s stunning images of Twin Palms capture the allure and simplistic grace of Williams’ design.


Microfluidics-based biochips are revolutionizing high-throughput sequencing, parallel immunoassays, clinical diagnostics, and drug discovery. These devices enable the precise control of nanoliter volumes of biochemical samples and reagents. Compared to conventional laboratory procedures, which are cumbersome and expensive, miniaturized biochips offer the advantages of higher sensitivity, lower cost due to smaller sample and reagent volumes, system integration, and less likelihood of human error. This embedded tutorial paper provides an overview of droplet-based Â¿digitalÂ¿ microfluidic biochips. It describes emerging computer-aided design (CAD) tools for the automated synthesis and optimization of biochips from bioassay protocols. Recent advances in fluidic-operation scheduling, module placement, droplet routing, pin-constrained chip design, and testing are presented.

UDP urged to sue IEC over ‘inflated voter register’
By Cherno Omar Bobb
A senior member of The Gambian community in the United States and strong supporter of the opposition United Democratic Party (UDP), has urged his party to sue the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) over the validity of the country’s voter register.
The UDP’s attempt to challenge the outcome of the December 2021 presidential election was rejected by the Supreme Court based on technicalities.
However, the country’s biggest opposition party has since gone on to perform beyond expectations in subsequent elections winning 15 seats in the parliamentary election and four out of the eight Mayoral and Chairmanship elections.
The party also performed strongly in the councillors’ elections winning the majority in Kanifing Municipality, West Coast Region and Lower River Region rendering the National People’s Party a provincial party in the process.
Speaking to our reporter in an exclusive interview yesterday, Lamin Chamang Komma, said his party’s performance in subsequent elections following their shock presidential election defeat has brought to light its suspicion that they were cheated in the presidential poll.
“I therefore urge UDP and her serious political allies to drag IEC to court for validity purposes,” Komma told Mamos media yesterday.
Justifying his calls, Komma said the 962, 000 voter register is a complete fraud, arguing that the IEC, NPP, district chiefs and alkalolu should be held responsible.
“In 2016, the country’s electoral register was around 886,578 and 300,000 voters were allegedly burnt at the APRC bureau leaving a balance of little over 500,000. So, in December 2016, 525,578 voted and if you add that to the 300,000 cards that were burned it will give you 825,578 which means a little over 60, 000 people did not vote. That means if the 300,000 registered voters had voted Jammeh would have won,” he said.
Turning to the current register, Komma said 859, 567 people voted in December 2021 out of the 962,157 registered voters, representing over 90 percent turnout while in the 2022 National Assembly elections, less than 500,000 voted leaving out over 400,000. He said the same scenario reflected in the councillors, mayoral and chairperson elections.
“Where are these voters?” he asked.
When contacted for comments, the UDP spokesperson Almamy Fanding Taal said the party may consider looking into the issue of the voter register but he challenged the civil society to lead the process.
He said TANGO should engage with civil society organisations and those observing elections to create that locus standi to challenge the validity of the voter register.
He said the majority is with the UDP and that is “undeniable and incontrovertible”.

Reached by phone, Puth said he wasn't laid off but was "leaving State Street." He didn't specify the nature of his departure, but Business Insider has reached out to State Street for more details.
A source at the firm says Mike Rogers, who is current head of global services for the Americas, will be replacing Puth.
State Street has already consolidated its global services and global markets businesses under one leader in its Europe and Asia operations, a person familiar with the company told Business Insider.
Puth took his current position at State Street in 2008, according to Forbes. Before that, he was president of a risk management agency he founded, and has also worked at JP Morgan.
Last year, State Street announced that they planned on cutting 1,400 jobs by the end of 2011, but a company spokesperson said that Puth's departure had nothing to do with those job cuts.
Puth's profile on the list of executive leaders for State Street is already gone, and leads to an empty page. Good luck, Mr. Puth.
UPDATE: We received the statement below from State Street --
David Puth has decided to leave State Street after three years heading our Global Markets business. Mike Rogers, executive vice president and head of Global Services Americas, will assume leadership of State Street's Global Markets business in addition to his current responsibilities. Mike is a 30 year industry veteran who led Investor Financial's capital markets businesses prior to its acquisition by State Street in 2007.

There are, obviously, spoilers for the film in this post.
I saw The Danish Girl, the film loosely based on the real story of Lili Elbe, at the beginning of the month. But I’m only now writing this blog post, because it took (as usual) a little while to organise what I wanted to say. The film is a strange mixture. I thought it was subtle in the way it told the characters’ stories, moving and engaging. As you might guess if you know Elbe’s history, it is pretty dark, with some appallingly disturbing scenes: notably, the episode in which a doctor emotionlessly diagnoses Elbe as a homosexual and enforces a ‘cure’ involving radiation of the genitals, and the scenes of Elbe’s horrific pain following a surgery that was crude beyond belief. But – disappointingly – it’s also saccharine in places, with some surprisingly false notes.
First the good: the film is beautifully shot, and worth seeing on those grounds alone. It is truly painterly: a breathtaking series of natural images prepares us for the scene in which we see young Einar Wegener hailed as an up-and-coming artist, the painter who captures the spare, structural and natural beauty of the leafless trees we’ve just seen growing. As the film progresses, the imagery becomes richer, with heavy tactile fabrics, swishing kimonos, drapes and silky scarves. This visual vocabulary, in turn, is echoed in the paintings associated with Gerda Wegener, Einar’s ambitious, talented, and bohemian wife.
The film is strongest when it concentrates on the relationship between these two. Lili Elbe isn’t played as a saint: there were times when you definitely sympathised with Gerda Wegener; times when Elbe’s actions and words seemed selfish, thoughtless, or shallow. This was refreshing: one of the things that annoys me about, for example, Sophia in Orange is the New Black is that she’s almost never allowed to be anything but an anodyne cardboard cut-out, tiredly bringing out clichéd remarks about hairstyles or Our Shared Struggles As Women. By contrast, Elbe comes across as a human being, and at the same time there’s a rare sympathetic portrayal of the struggles Wegener faces. And I could appreciate the film makers’ decision to portray Wegener as a heterosexual woman: it was a good change from the irritating and guilt-inducing contemporary assumption that female sexuality must always be ‘fluid’ and accommodating.
But, a bit of me is quite sad that the film makers decided to edit out the historical part of Elbe and Wegener’s lives during which they lived as an out lesbian couple in 1920s Paris. A quick google of Wegener’s art, made during this period, is eye-opening, and very different from the tasteful, Impressionist-lite images the film substituted – and the image below is definitely one of the politer pieces. But, in place of this, there’s a single scene, in which Elbe rocks an androgynously-tailored, lesbian-chic suit and is momentarily (and delightfully) thrilled to hear a couple of men speculating: “lesbienne?”
… And then they beat her up. It’s undeniably moving that the film makers’ decided to follow this moment of Elbe’s delight in ‘passing’ with sudden violence from the men, and it’s sadly ironic that she’s treated to the same violence lesbians did and do face for being too easily confused with men. But the film doesn’t really explore the possibility that Elbe – or anyone else – might associate femininity with anything other than dresses and makeup, and certainly not with lesbianism. Indeed, it’s quite hard to interpret that scene of violence as anything other than the film’s own brutal insistence that there is only one legitimate way in which to be female.
And it was this insistence that began to nag away at me as I watched.
In one pivotal scene in the film, Elbe – whose cheerfully bohemian wife is in need of a model to stand in for the absent female subject of her current painting – draws a filmy silk stocking over a strikingly hairy, masculine-looking leg. It’s a moment that’s been criticised, with some viewers arguing that to reduce Elbe’s desire to transition to a single moment of rather coy cross-dressing (ooh! women’s underwear!) is a bit simplistic. My issue was different. We see Vikander’s naked body at several points during the film, and at no time are her legs anything other than perfectly hairless. This is, of course, a tacit nod to twenty-first-century aesthetics: audiences are deemed unable to imagine the possibility of an attractive woman who doesn’t come pre-packed as hair-free, even though it’s highly unlikely a woman living during this period (and wearing the long-skirted fashions Vikander’s character wears) would have been shaving her legs. Vikander’s femininity is socially constructed, but that social construction is actively obscured, hidden, made as invisible as the hair that surely grows on her legs.
I found this telling. I didn’t expect The Danish Girl to break the mould and go for exact historical verisimilitude. I read trash media; I know that women and men alike are (supposedly) transfixed with horror at the sight of a furry female and would be utterly unable to sustain their interest in a film that portrayed one. But that’s the problem. The film works very hard to make us believe that the main character we see is, and always was, a woman; it works against the fact that Redmayne, who acts Elbe, is a male actor. But, because it also makes invisible the performances we demand from female actors (Vikander) and not from male ones (Redmayne), the film lands itself with a problem of confused categories: why is this one leg hairy, when the other is not?
By contrast, the artifice Redmayne uses is highly visible – even too visible, leading to what’s probably the complaint I’ve heard most frequently about the film as a whole. Redmayne, as Lili, spends much of the film batting, fluttering, lowering and raising, his enhanced feminine lashes.
Critics on all sides have weighed in with acidic questions: is this Redmayne’s poor acting?Is it something the director decided? Does Redmayne imagine that being a woman is a kind of performance, a kind of artifice? Does he think transwomen all look like this? What is it? The questions keep coming, because – at root – we’re aware that there’s some visible artifice here, some mannerism, that obtrudes between us and our sympathy with Lili Elbe, the character. But discussing one kind of artifice has, I’d argue, blinded us to another kind, which is hidden in plain sight.
In the film, Redmayne wears lashings of thick mascara. And unlike Vikander’s shaven legs, this isn’t an anachronism. Like quite a lot of cosmetics, mascara is a bit of an irritant. It’s come on a long way since 1933, when a new product on the market caused the death of one woman and the blindness of sixteen more. But, however hypoallergenic a product may be, the advertising boasts of new, un-clumping formulas, lighter-weight versions and waterproof options remind us that painting something onto the hairs around your eyes is never going to be a totally fuss-free option, especially if you’re not used to it. On balance of probability, I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest Eddie Redmayne probably doesn’t wear mascara as a day-to-day habit, and certainly not heavy, thick, dark lashes like the ones in this film. It doesn’t particularly surprise me, then, that he’s batting his eyelashes a fair bit. It’s a natural reaction. And in an actor supposed to be playing a woman, nature looks like artifice.
These details – hairless legs, mascara’d eyes – may seem tiny. But they’re telling examples of the rigid system of expectations society places upon women, the rigid demands to perform femininity. For decades, feminists have been arguing that these performances – these ‘minor’ artifices – are neither transparently innate to women, nor matters of free and natural choice. This film – which might have taken the time to expose the artifice of what it means to be accepted as a ‘real’ woman – instead chose to essentialize differences rooted not in biology, but in the aesthetics of a misogynistic culture.

Quality and fashion in stunning linens.
Area Linens are made in Lithuania, and designed by Anki Spets, a Swedish Designer who not only creates the prints on these gorgeous linens, but also the beautiful Jacquard weaves. Natural fibers, innovative designs, subtle detail and natural colors are what defines Area Linens. Constructed for comfort, durability and naturally easy care, all of these linens are machine washable, even the cotton/linen blends.
"April" is 100% Linen!! This colorful pattern is full or oranges, greens, blues, and of course the signature grey hues that Area is known for. Shown in the image here with Heather Coal, but we think it pairs well with just about anything, and we love it with the Harry Blankets.

Authorities say the Thompson Ridge fire in northern New Mexico now is 60 percent contained as of Thursday morning.
That’s 10 percent higher than earlier Wednesday and officials say the fire grew by only about 90 acres. It now is at 23,946 acresThe fire has burned nearly 36 square miles in the western portion of the Santa Fe National Forest and in the Valles Caldera National Preserve.
It began May 31 because of a downed power line.
Fire officials say cloud cover allowed nearly 900 firefighters and support personnel to get a lot of work done.
Previously unburned fuel in the fire’s interior produced tall plumes of smoke Tuesday.
Some of that was due to crowns of trees catching fire after being dried out from when low-intensity fire moved through an area previously.
The Thursday morning update said, “Firefighters took advantage of favorable conditions to conduct burnout operations along the containment line on the southwest flank of the fire along Valles Caldera Road 02 (VC02).
“Aerial ignitions were initiated around 3:30 in the afternoon. Crews then worked throughout the night to complete the burnout operation and bring the fire down to the containment line at VC02. Around 11 p.m., winds shifted 180 degrees due to the collapse of thunderstorms to the east of the fire. This resulted in some short range spotting and a small spot fire on the southeastern end of the burnout. The 150-acre spot fire was stopped by dozer lines and firefighters.
“Fire behavior is expected to be moderate today with southwesterly winds pushing the fire back into the black and potential cloud cover in the afternoon. Patrol, mop up and extinguishing hot spots identified by infrared imagery will continue on the west, north and east sides of the fire. Crews will continue to hold and mop up along the southeastern edge of the fire.”
The Jaroso Fire, in the Pecos Wilderness, continues to stymie firefighters.
A wildfire burning in the steep and narrow canyons of the Pecos Wilderness north of Santa Fe ballooned to more than 12 square miles on Wednesday.
Fire managers said it’s still too dangerous to put any firefighters on the ground.
The only option for battling the Jaroso Fire has been a fleet of water-dropping helicopters.
The other problem is the area has an immense amount of fuel that has built up over the years. Duane Archuleta, the fire management officer for the Santa Fe National Forest, said the fire is now burning through an area where dead trees are stacked up to five feet high.
There are also pockets of bug-killed timber that are dry and ready to ignite.
“This fuel type, when it’s ready to burn, it’s going to burn and there’s not a whole lot people can do about it,” Archuleta said.
Archuleta expected the fire to make more “hard runs” on Wednesday. That comes after the lightning-sparked blaze more than quadrupled in size on Tuesday, growing from 360 acres to more than 9 square miles and sending up an enormous plume of smoke.
That afternoon plume is what worries fire managers. The concern was that if it collapses, it could violently push the fire down and out in any direction. Similar fire behavior helped the record-breaking Las Conchas fire grow in 2011.
There are some small communities about 10 miles to the northwest of the fire. Crews were planning on building fire lines and clearing out fuel in key areas miles ahead of the blaze in hopes of protecting the communities if the fire heads that way.
Meanwhile, the Silver fire continues to grow in southern New Mexico, now having burned 29 square miles in the Gila National Forest west of Hillsboro.
The number of firefighters and support personnel assigned to the lightning-caused fire has grown 478.
Firefighters are trying to protect structures such as the small village of Kingston. The fire has gotten as close as a quarter-mile to the old mining town whose 45 or so residents already have evacuated.
And a wildfire burning near Colorado Springs has destroyed at least 360 homes, making it the most destructive in state history.
El Paso County sheriff Terry Maketa said Thursday that deputies still haven’t been able to verify the condition of 79 homes as the wildfire continues to burn. So it’s possible the figure could rise even higher.
The fire is burning near where the Waldo Canyon fire torched 347 homes last year. It was previously the most destructive in Colorado history.
Some of the homes that were previously listed as standing were destroyed as high winds pushed the 23-square-mile wildfire back into areas that had already burned.

Re: Fog Lights/Limited-Slip Differential--CVPI
Get the rear tires off the ground, park brake off and in neutral, then spin one rear tire and watch the other. If they both go the same direction it is a limited slip. If it has it and it's functional that's a good test. Usually there will also be a tag, held on by one of the cover bolts, that will tell you. Of course you could get the tires wet and lite 'em up. Two patches equal a limited slip.
I'm curious about the light question myself. I want to hang two high power driving lights and wonder if there is a factory set-up for my '00 Grand Mark. The stock lights, even on high beam don't really cut it for me.


I was trying to add a WordPress.org (self-hosted) install using Media Temple’s 1-Click application for testing purposes[1. I’ve used it before for the same purpose.], then the install had an error that I couldn’t delete it the 1-Click page.
So, I contacted Media Temple support and they mistakenly thought I was trying to install allnarfedup.com. (Oh noes.) They setup a 1-Click install, which created a new database and renamed my blog folder. Fortunately, nothing was deleted.[2. I wasn’t worried. I use the Automatic WordPress Backup plugin.]
I asked if they could do it for me, but that’s not part of the deal, so I fixed it myself after I got back home from school.
Anyway, back to normal content — whatever that means. 🙂


President Muhammadu Buhari has warned that it is better for Nigeria to remain united, notwithstanding the differences among her nationalities.
He gave the advice in Daura, Katsina State on Tuesday when representatives of corps members deployed to the town paid him a Sallah visit.
The President also threw his weight behind the National Youths Service Corps scheme, insisting the scheme had helped in promoting unity in Nigeria.
He expressed that the diversity in the culture and ethics of Nigeria had been a strength for the growth and progress of the country.
The President said, “Not only the cultural differences but also physical differences and this is what makes Nigeria. That is why I feel strongly about NYSC and I will always wish you the best of luck. And I thank you for your service to the country.
“I assure you that, there is much better of a Nigerian and rather than a fallout.”

The sex goddess who had a way with words
Mae West, who died 20 years ago this week, was one of the great female impersonators.
Fans, both straight and gay, consider her to have been a woman ahead of her time. Her bad-girl caricature, which often enraged moralists, was rendered acceptable by her carefully polished witticisms. "Haven't you ever met a man that can make you happy?" she was asked in an early movie. "Sure," she replied. "Lots of times." Mae had a million of 'em.
The exhibitionist actress was even sexier in real life than on the screen. She was constantly on the alert for men. Mae once greeted a new scriptwriter at her Hollywood apartment in her negligée. "Feel these," she said. "They're hard as rocks."
Mary Jane West was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1893. Her voluptuous, Bavarian-born mother, Matilda, indulged the youngster for as long as she lived. She gave Mae her first diamond and taught her daughter that it was okay to enjoy life's pleasures, such as men, so long as she put her career first.
Mae was less fond of her father, Battlin' Jack West. He was a belligerent, cigar-chewing, bare-knuckle boxer and layabout with roots in Newfoundland. He was a drinker who quickly made his wife regret their marriage. Mae grew to despise smokers and drinkers, but developed a lifelong interest in boxers and strongmen as lovers.
Matilda pushed her seven-year-old daughter into a talent show: "Baby Mae Song and Dance." When the child won the gold medal, her father built her a basement stage, so she could practise her performing. Show business took up so much of Mae's time that she attended school only until about Grade Three.
She was not a great singer or dancer, but the brunette tomboy cultivated a memorable "eccentric" persona, partly inspired by female impersonators, that was suited to vaudeville theatres.
At 16, Mae was taking lovers, but she didn't go steady. "My mother thought I was the greatest thing on Earth and she liked me to play with the boys," the actress recalled. She may never have spent a full night in bed with a man.
In 1911, on a theatrical tour in Wisconsin, Mae got married. She only wanted to sleep with Frank Wallace, a dancer, but the other girls persuaded her she needed the licence to protect herself if she got pregnant. Mae quickly regretted the union and concealed it from her mother for as long as she lived.
Mae kept her theatre work snappy by adding the shimmy, a kootch dance with lots of pep. At 28, she became a blonde.
By the 1920s, Mae was describing herself as a writer. She took full credit for plays that others helped her create. Eventually she wrote 12, including Sex (a prostitute's rise from a Montreal brothel), The Drag (a homosexual comedy) and Pleasure Man (an everyday story of cross-dressers). She got nine days in prison for producing Sex.
Her lovers included gangsters, boxers and entertainers such as George Raft. Her daily workout included sex in elevators and back seats of cars.
In 1930, her mother died. Mae fainted, wept, howled that she wanted to die and she stopped speaking entirely for three days. ("There wasn't anyone to play to," she later recalled. "It was the first time I had opened without my mother.") In 1935, when her father died, Mae spent only a half day at the movie studio, so she could attend his funeral.
Later, she developed an interest in spiritualism and tried to keep in touch with her departed parents.
At Mr. Raft's suggestion, Mae was called to Hollywood in 1932. The future sex goddess was 39 and a comparative unknown; she had to carry her bags from the train station herself.
That soon changed. Her first few movies were socko at the box-office. By 1934, Mae was the highest-paid woman in the United States.
On stage, Mae had created the role of Diamond Lil, a character she never tired of playing. Her movies, which became increasingly campy, were generally set in the 1890s and featured the actress, wearing Gay Nineties fashions, as the centre of attention. Adored by all men and the only blonde in sight, her character sashayed around the screen ("as if she had sore feet," said one critic), slowly dispensing well-crafted one-liners.
The censors got her. By 1935, the new Motion Picture Code put a virtual halt to her screen career, which was beginning to pall with the public, anyway. Some of her banned movies would not be seen again until the 1960s.
Mae never gave up performing Diamond Lil or some variant, in nightclubs and off-stage.
Her last movie was Sextette (1977). By then a forgetful, disoriented 84-year-old, Mae had to be fitted with an earphone so she could be prompted with her lines. Critics questioned the wisdom of her playing a sexy youngster, but Mae knew what she did best: Years of hiding from sunlight, bathing in bottled water and having a daily enema had kept her a perpetual 26. Into her sixties, she was insisting on sex every day.
In August, 1980, Mae suffered a stroke. Friends tried to cheer her up by bringing her old movies and gramophone records to the hospital room. Later that year, she had a relapse, slipped into unconsciousness and died on Nov. 22.

En studie av zero knowledge-identifikationsprotokoll för smarta kort
Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree)Student thesisAlternative title
A study of zero knowledge identification protocols for smart cards (English)
Zero knowledge protocols is a lesser known type of protocol that can be used for identification. These protocols are especially designed not to reveal any information during an identification process that can be misused later on, neither by the one who should be convinced of the identity of the user, nor by anyone else that is eavesdropping. Many of these protocols are also especially designed for implementation in smart cards. The more common type of card with a magnetic stripe has during the last few years become more susceptible to attacks since they are easily copied. Smart cards combined with a secure identification protocol has been predicted to be the solution to this problem. Zero knowledge protocols are one of several types of protocols that can be used for this purpose.
In this thesis a number of zero knowledge protocols are examined that have been presented since the introduction of the concept in the 1980's. In addition to the protocol descriptions information is also given about how to choose parameter values, and what progress and discoveries have been made concerning the security of the protocols. Some assumptions that are easy to overlook in an implementation are also highlighted, and an evaluation of the protocol performances is made.
The conclusion is that zero knowledge protocols are both efficient and adaptable, while they at the same time provide high security. Because of this it may not be necessary to compromise between these properties even for simpler types of smart cards.

“Switching to organic milk and dairy products provides a natural way to increase our intake of nutritionally desirable fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants without increasing our intake of less desirable fatty acids,” the project manager said. “By choosing organic milk you can cut saturated fats by 30-50 per cent.”
Last year an FSA-funded review by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that organic food, produced without chemical fertilisers and pesticides, was no healthier than conventional produce. Whether as a result of this information or the recession in general or both, consumption of organic food in Britain has slumped in the past two years amid the economic downturn.

Testing on a dyno unit ensures that your component will work properly once installed in your machine. We also test components to rule out an issue before getting into costly repairs. Many problems can occur as components are changed in a piece of heavy equipment. This could be as simple as lines being hooked up improperly or being plugged, to shorts in wiring as harnesses have been pulled or removed. It is imperative that the components are tested so they can be ruled out if issues arise. Electrical issues are by far the most common problem we see when dyno testing units. The complexity of sensors and solenoids has grown with technology, along with the headaches they cause when they are not working properly. In the past main pressure and modulation was regulated with a mechanical valve (ball & spring), or spools and springs. Today pressures and modulation are regulated with Pulse Width Modulated Solenoid Valves. Running these units isn't enough, you have to get them up to operating temperature before you see a lot of the issues these solenoids can develop. As many of these solenoids are internal, the dyno is a great tool for discovering these issues and fixing them before they are installed in your machine.

The next BookTalk event will focus on the American Gothic classic by Shirley Jackson: The Haunting of Hill House (1959).
Seen by many as one of the best horror stories ever written, Jackson’s novel was a finalist for the National Book Award in the US, and evokes the dark secrets that lie in the heart of post-war middle America, as it traces the psychological assault faced by its protagonist, Eleanor Vance.
Eleanor is invited to participate in a psychic experitment by Dr John Montague, by spending the summer in Hill House, an 80-year-old mansion built by Hugh Crain. Joining Eleanor and Montague are the bohemian artist Theodora and Luke Sanderson, the young owner of Hill House. Isolated in the foreboding setting, the four visitors soon uncover the turbulent and disturbing history of Hill House, and soon begin to experience increasingly terrifying supernatural phenomena that threaten to drive them insane.
Jackson uses a traditional motif of the Gothic, the haunted house, to explore a range of complex social and psychological issues, including women’s position in society, mental illness and the hidden history of violence that courses throughout American history. According to Stephen King, The Haunting of Hill House is one of the finest ghost stories of the 20th century. Jackson’s novel was adapted twice as The Haunting, first as spinechilling classic starring Julie Harris and Claire Bloom in 1963, and in a 1999 remake that starred Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
To explore Jackson’s complex interweaving of the conventions of gothic supernaturalism with probing analysis of middle-American culture, BookTalk is delighted to host the following panel of speakers:
- Robert Lloyd is a second-year doctoral researcher at Cardiff University, whose thesis ‘Spectre-scopics’ explores later 20th-century ghost stories by women.
- Dawn Mannay is Senior Lecturer in Social Sciences at Cardiff University, working on class, education, gender, geography, national identity, violence and inequality.
- Diana Wallace is Professor of English at the University of South Wales and a leading scholar of historical fiction and female gothic.
The main event (7pm) will be preceded by a reception with tea, coffee and biscuits at 6.30pm in Cardiff University’s School of Optometry and Vision Sciences, Maindy Road, Cardiff CF24 4HQ.
About the Author
Shirley Jackson (1916–1965) was an American novelist and short story writer, whose fictions used gothic and dystopian motifs to expose the hidden darkness of her society. The author of six novels and around a hundred short stories, Jackson’s prolific career was marked by classics such as ‘The Lottery’ (1948), The Haunting of Hill House (1959) and We Have Always Lived in the Castle (1962). Her stories were published in numerous magazines of the period, including Harper’s, The New Republic, The New Yorker and Woman’s Day.

IPL 2019: David Warner posts emotional message for Sunrisers Hyderabad after final match of campaign
The left-hander also said that the IPL was a stepping stone for the World Cup. His form leading into the marquee tournament is great news for Australia as he ended the IPL campaign with 692 runs.Updated: Apr 30, 2019 11:19 IST
David Warner ended his campaign with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in style with a match-winning innings of 81 against the Kings XI Punjab. With his win, SRH have consolidated their position at number 4 on the points table and is one step closer to sealing their berth for the playoffs.
The left-hander posted a heartfelt message for his franchise and said that it was great to be back in the mix.
I can not express my gratitude enough to the @SunRisers family for your support, not just this season but also for the last year. It’s been a long time waiting but it was great to be back… https://t.co/zhfY5HA7jS— David Warner (@davidwarner31) April 30, 2019
Extremely grateful my family got to come enjoy Incredible India again with me for the iplt20 2019. Family means the world to me and having them by my side when I do what I love gives me… https://t.co/XBmSaJnOKn— David Warner (@davidwarner31) April 26, 2019
The left-hander also said that the IPL was a stepping stone for the World Cup. His form leading into the marquee tournament is great news for Australia as he ended the IPL campaign with 692 runs.
“This World Cup, you’ll see some high scores. Hopefully the ball doesn’t swing as much. Obviously England are the home team and they’re great. We are the reigning champions and for us it is going out there backing our abilities and being our best selves,” he said.
“I have had time off to work harder at my game. Put the bat down for 16-18 weeks and just worked hard on being the best father and best husband, that has worked for me. Yeah, I try to be the funny man in the team, the prankster. It’s obviously great to get out there and do your job properly. We’ve got a great deck to bat on. The groundstaff have worked tirelessly to prepare good wickets and then it’s about going back to basics and backing your instincts,” said Warner. “I think it just goes back to being still as a batsman. I get the tendency to moving around a bit if there have been a few dots. But I have worked hard over the last few months. The gameplan is to back yourself, just back your natural game,” he added.

Diy Hepa Filter Glove Box
Do Air Purifiers Really Work?
Specialists weighs in on whether or not purifiers can really filter out bacteria, dust, smoke, mold, and more.
How do air purifiers work?
Air purifiers normally include a filter, or multiple filters, and a fan that sucks in and circulates air.
As air relocations through the filter, toxins and particles are captured and the tidy air is pushed back out into the living space. Generally, filters are made of paper, fiber (often fiberglass), or mesh, and require regular replacement to preserve performance.
What are air cleansers supposed to filter out and do they really do it?
The majority of filters on the marketplace are designed to capture particles like dust and pollen, but don’t capture gases like VOCs (volatile natural substances) or radon. That would need an adsorbent, like triggered carbon. The Environmental Security Firm (EPA) alerts that the performance of air cleansers is limited in terms of filtering out gases, and that you must frequently change filters for optimum functionality, usually about every 3 or so months.
Numerous air cleansers are proficient at filtering toxin particles out of the air (dust, smoke, pollen, etc.), however they are not necessarily excellent at eliminating gaseous contaminants like VOCs or radon from the air that might build up from adhesives, paints, or cleaning products. Allergens that are embedded into furnishings or flooring are likewise not captured by them.
Furthermore, the efficiency of air purifiers in real-world circumstances likely will not imitate those of controlled conditions in a lab (what those “99% efficiency” claims are referring to!). The area, installation, flow rate, and the length of time it is running for will all vary, as will the conditions in the space. In addition, there are other things taking place in your house that may effect the effectiveness like ventilation (open or closed windows), and new particles are constantly emerging, so the air may not as filtered as the claims might have you believe.
If you are concerned about mold, we ‘d suggest purchasing a dehumidifier or humidifier to assist maintain the appropriate moisture levels in your home and stave off mold growth issues. Air cleansers do not prevent mold growth, so it is needed to eliminate the source of moisture that is permitting it to grow.
Can air purifiers filter the outside air that enters your house?
Sometimes, non-organic air toxins like the VOCs we mentioned formerly can originate from outdoors your home. “There are all sorts of situations in structure fires where big doses of smoke inhalation might cause cyanide toxicity. However that would mainly require to be someone who was standing directly in or near the fire: Those individuals are brought to emergency rooms instantly,” Dr. Roten describes. “Typically, outside contamination or smoke or temporary bad air isn’t a consistent issue for onlookers.” However the right sort of cleanser can resolve any environmental air qualities in your area. Using nearby wildfires as an example, Dr. Roten adds that a HEPA filter-equipped purifier is your best choice: “Anything that has a true HEPA filter in it is most likely appropriate enough to filter out many all the large particles that would be concerning,” he says. “Most of the smoky odor will also be attended to too.”
What should I search for in an air purifier?
CADR (clean-air shipment rate) score. This measures the cleansing speed of the purifier for eliminating smoke, dust, and and pollen. Try to find a CADR of at least 300, above 350 is truly excellent.
For proper efficacy, you require a model designed to work in the space size. Choose a model that is designed for an area larger than the one you are equipping it for if you wish to operate it at a lower, quieter setting.
AHAM (Association of House Appliance Manufacturers) Verified mark AHAM’s requirements are design to guarantee the safety, effectiveness and efficiency of lots of home care appliances, consisting of air cleansers. The standards are created to supply a common understanding in between makers and consumers to help make the getting process easier. While voluntary, most reliable air purifiers have actually undergone this certification program, which often offers a CADR rating and size guidelines.
Real HEPA. True HEPA filters are effective at eliminating ultra fine particles (think: dust, dander, pollen, mold and other common irritants in the home). The market standard for such is that the system needs to have the ability to eliminate at least 99.97% of particulates measuring 0.3 micron size in a laboratory setting. Keep in mind, it is very important to keep in mind that in reality settings, the real efficacy of these devices would be far less as new pollutants are constantly emerging. Keep in mind that there is no market requirement for the terms “HEPA-like” or “HEPA-type,” and are mainly used as marketing tactics to get consumers to buy the product.

Tonsils, lympho-epithelial tissues located at the junction of the oropharynx and nasopharynx, play a key role in surveillance, colonization, and persistence of inhaled and ingested pathogens. In pigs, the tonsils are a reservoir for numerous bacteria and viruses, including host-specific pathogens and potential zoonotic pathogens as well as commensal organisms. However, there are no in depth studies of the development of the tonsillar microbiome in pigs, or any mammal, over time. The goal of this study was to follow the development of the tonsil microbiome in healthy pigs from birth to market weight. Samples were collected using tonsil brushes from 16 piglets (4 each from 4 sows) at newborn, 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks of age, and from 8 of those piglets at 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 19 weeks of age. Bacterial DNA was isolated from each sample and 16S rDNA genes were amplified and sequenced. Sequence analysis showed that members of the Streptococcaceae, Pasteurellaceae, and Moraxellaceae were present at all time points and represent the three most abundant families identified. Other community members appeared transiently or increased or decreased significantly with disruption events or stress. We observed four significant shifts in the tonsil community that coincided with well-defined disruption events: weaning plus addition of Carbadox plus movement to the nursery at week 3, removal of Carbadox and addition of Tylan at week 5, removal of Tylan and habitat change at week 9, and habitat change at week 16. Weaning triggered a bloom of Streptococcaeae and decrease of Moraxellaceae. The shift from Carbadox to Tylan led to reduction in Proteobacteria and Streptococcaceae but an increase in other Firmicutes, accompanied by a dramatic increase in community richness. Cessation of Tylan coincided with a return to a less rich community, and a bloom in Clostridiales. The final shift in habitat was accompanied by a decrease in Clostridiales and increase in Proteobacteria. The tonsillar microbiome of older pigs resembled the previously described mature core tonsillar microbiome. This study demonstrates a temporal succession in the development of the pig tonsillar microbiome, and significant community shifts that correlate with disruption events.

At an emergency meeting on Monday, Algerian UN Ambassador Abd Allah Baali said he would push for a vote on Tuesday.
Baali called the council meeting in reaction to the Israeli attacks that has resulted in at least 63 Palestinian deaths.
“The Palestinian people are exposed to a virtual war of extermination,” Baali told the open debate. “The unfettered use of brutal force is terrifying.”
But US Ambassador John Danforth accused the 15-nation Security Council as well as the 191-member General Assembly of acting “as the adversary of Israel and the cheerleader of the Palestinians” rather than saying “stop it” to both sides.
He said the council should not adopt another “one-sided” resolution, indicating a possible US veto.
British Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry, the current council president, said there was “strong support for the thrust of the resolution” and negotiations would resume on Tuesday afternoon.
At least 63 Palestinians have
Israel launched the offensive last Tuesday.
Palestinian UN observer Nasir al-Qudwa said his leadership condemned the “rudimentary” Qassam rocket attacks by Palestinians and especially the killing of Israeli children.
But he contended Israel over the past week had killed 83 people, including 20 children, wounded more than 350 others and demolished homes, using 2000 soldiers, 100 tanks and a “massive use of helicopter gunships”.
“Israel persists in committing war crimes and acts of state terrorism against the Palestinian people,” al-Qudwa said. “There is no justification for this Israeli hysteria, for these widespread killings and deliberate destruction.”
The draft resolution reaffirms support for the nearly dormant “road map” for Middle East peace and demands “the immediate cessation of all military operations in the area of northern Gaza” and the withdrawal of Israel from there.
Kofi Annan says Israel’s charges
Israeli Ambassador Dan Gillerman told the council the latest attacks from Gaza were part of a long line of terror onslaughts designed to kill as many Israelis as possible, including five people over the past few months.
He also attacked again UN relief operations, saying Palestinian “terrorists” had used them as a front.
Israel earlier accused UN ambulances of carrying rockets.
The world body denied the charge and demanded an apology. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he was sending a team to Israel to investigate the allegations.
Most council members said the Israeli response to the Palestinian rockets was disproportionate to the losses it suffered.
Typical was Russian Ambassador Andrei Denisov, who said the Israeli attacks went beyond “what was required to crush the activities of extremists”.

Extra domestic and family violence services for Bowen Basin
Published Thursday, 14 September, 2017 at 08:57 AM
Minister for Communities, Women and Youth, Minister for Child Safety and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence
The Honourable Shannon Fentiman
Domestic and family violence services in Moranbah and Clermont will be boosted with an extra $1.01 million in Queensland Government funding for counselling and court support.
Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, Shannon Fentiman visited Mackay’s Domestic Violence Resource Service (DVRS) today to announce it would receive the five-year funding to provide these services.
“The services will provide counselling and support for women escaping domestic and family violence, including information and support for victims at the Moranbah and Clermont magistrates courts on days domestic violence matters are heard,” she said.
“Support services like these are crucial in helping people experiencing domestic or family violence to break the cycle of violence by supporting them during what can be extremely harrowing times.”
The service will also provide perpetrator interventions to help them change their abusive behaviour, as well as information for male respondents in domestic and family violence proceedings at the two magistrates courts.
“When people make the brave decision to escape violent homes they need the right support in place to make them feel safe and supported,” Ms Fentiman said.
“At the same time we need to break the cycle of violence by holding perpetrators to account for their actions and ensuring they have services to help them stop using violence and abuse.
“Tackling domestic and family violence is one of our highest priorities and this is why we are continuing to provide new services across the state and in particular to regional areas.”
Mackay Domestic Violence Resource Service chief executive Dr Anne Butcher said the new funding would allow the expansion of services to make them more accessible to people in Moranbah and Clermont.
“Making support available close to where people live can make a big difference to people seeking safety from violent relationships,” Dr Butcher said.
“This funding means that Domestic Violence victims in the Moranbah and Clermont regions will not have to travel to access the vital support they need.”
The new funding is part of $198.2 million in funding over five years announced to help implement the recommendations from the Not Now, Not Ever report of the Special Taskforce on Domestic and Family Violence.

Car pool! Mourinho could pick up £30m Modric on his return to Stamford Bridge
Jose Mourinho will target Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric when he makes his expected return to Chelsea this summer.
Mourinho confirmed his departure from Real Madrid last week, and hopes the former Tottenham star will join him on his expected journey to West London.
The Madrid midfielder could cost Chelsea around £30million, just shy of what Mourinho paid for the Croatian last August, according to The Sun.
Return: Both Modric and Mourinho could make a swift return to the Premier League
A Chelsea insider said: 'Mourinho's very keen to clinch a deal for Modric.
'He knows it will be tough but if anyone can make it happen, we believe Jose can.'
Modric has not lived up to his price tag in Spain, but Mourinho has put faith in the 27-year-old, making 31 appearances this season.
Disappointing: Modric's time in Madrid has been tough, but Mourinho has always liked the Croatian
His superb goal in the Champions League semi-final second leg at Old Trafford is what he will be remembered for if he does depart the Bernabeu, scoring just seven minutes after being brought on by Mourinho with his side 1-0 down and heading out of the competition.
But with just three goals elsewhere and several substitute appearances, Modric may not be in the new Madrid manager's plans.
Chelsea have history with Modric, having made two bids in 2011, both rejected by Tottenham.
Come back: Chelsea fans have made their feelings about Mourinho clear

Taking the Party out of Politics
Public Health and Timescales
Public Health: maximizing population health gain.
"Basically, whatever resource we have as a system, then we want to use that in the most efficient, intelligent, effective way to get the most health gains for the population." (Andy Fox, Assistant Director of Public Health for Lincolnshire)
In this podcast we explore what Public Health is attempting to do, and the balance between
- the timescales which are going to make a difference to helping whole populations to live healthier lives, and
- the timescales of the elected politicians who control Public Health budgets.
This is important work that takes years … overseen by elected politicians who don't have years.
Public Health targets of 10 or 20 years, or more. Sometimes much, much more. Overseen by politicians who will face re-election in 4 or 5 years.
Would you trust elected politicians? They need to show results within a term of office.
But, then again, who else could we trust?
Balancing … Long Term Aims (e.g. Public Health) with Short Term Electoral Cycles
It's a balance which is at the heart of our political system, in this and many other parts of our lives. It requires good people to do the best they can, often working within a structure which is not only unhelpful but nearly impossible.

UPDATE: One of top players yet to sign among this year's class, ESPN 150 defensive tackle Toby Johnson (Hutchinson, Kan./Hutchinson Community College), will announce his decision on twitter at 2 p.m. today. Only two teams remain in the race to acquire Johnson's signature. Georgia isn't one of them.
"Johnson confirmed to the (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) on Monday that he hasn’t talked to the Bulldogs 'in a while' -- which adds to the speculation that UGA is no longer actively recruiting Johnson," Michael Carvell reported.
The decision will come down to Auburn and Mississippi State according to Al.com.
Auburn may have the edge in this particular SEC recruiting battle.
"Auburn's chances are fairly good," Justin Hokanson of Rivals.com tweeted.
Johnson's decision is one between family and friends. Three of Johnson's former teammates now play for Auburn, while his family resides in Mississippi.
Georgia has been the favorite to land four-star defensive tackle Toby Johnson throughout the recruiting process. Another SEC program may have the edge if Johnson's visit goes well this weekend.
Johnson is set to visit Mississippi State this weekend. His mother is a native of Mississippi.
"It kind of means something that my mama lives over there, but she wants me to make the best decision for me," Johnson told Steve Robertson of Scout.com. "When I go to Mississippi State this weekend, I want to see how I get along with all of the players and I want to meet all of the coaches.
"I want to see if I feel at home there. I have felt at home on my other visits, so I want to see if I have that same feeling when I go to Mississippi State."
Johnson said he'll make his decision after this visit -- another point in Mississippi State's favor. His official announcement will come Feb. 19. Johnson will choose between Auburn, Georgia, Mississippi State, Missouri and Oklahoma.

Opening credits prologue: PYGMALION WAS A MYTHOLOGICAL CHARACTER WHO DABBLED IN SCULPTURE. HE MADE A STATUE OF HIS IDEAL WOMAN-GALATEA. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT HE PRAYED THE GODS TO GIVE IT LIFE. HIS WISH WAS GRANTED.
BERNARD SHAW IN HIS FAMOUS PLAY GIVES A MODERN INTERPRETATION OF THIS THEME. See more »
This film was made a year before the Hays Office gave Clark Gable permission to say "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn", so while in the British prints of this film Leslie Howard often utters the word, in the American prints the word "damn" is replaced by either "hang" or "confounded". See more »
Nearly 70 years later the Gabriel Pascal "Pygmalion" still sets the bar for film adaptation of a stage play. So much so, in fact, that the GBS incorporated many of the film's upgrades into the authoritative published version of the play, despite the play being more than 20 years old when the film was made.
When was the last time you saw a performance leap off the screen like Leslie Howard's as Professor Higgins? Shaw never saw such treatment on screen again, even under Pascal's hand. The film of "Major Barbara" is interesting (and a bit bizarre toward the end) in its own right, with some magnificent bits in the Act II homeless shelter and a heart-wrenching Wendy Hiller, but pales next to the stage version in its intellectual, political and dramatic depth. And all the rest, even the charming "Caesar and Cleopatra" with Raines and Leigh, just don't cut it compared to the plays.
"Pygmalion" is where any screenwriter needs to start in adapting a play for the movies. No one has done it better since.
(BTW, GBS's afterward to "Pygmalion" is intended to be tongue-in-cheek, I think. It's intentionally ridiculous, so that the mob clamoring for a romantic ending would realize just how inappropriate and uninteresting that would have been.)
