Everyone encounters emotional distress or major upheavals in our lives that can trigger a wide range of unexpected feelings, major disruptions to our daily functioning (sleep, exercise and diet), or clinical disorders (depression, anxiety, and PTSD). In Chinese medicine, mental health problems are viewed as imbalances between the yin and yang energies of the body, including consideration of lifestyle, diet, and constitution. Our body is made up of a living energy called Qi, and this energy circulates the body, including the major organs, through channels or meridians. Emotional and physical disruptions produce imbalance of qi in the meridians that acupuncture can address. Acupuncture can be an adequate modality for treating mental health issues because treatments plans are customized and designed to address root causes of patterns by helping to restore balance at all levels, body and mind.
This is how acupuncture helps:
Acupuncture raises the level of endorphins in the brain. Endorphins are neurotransmitters naturally produced in the brain to fight pain. They can also positively affect the mood.
Acupuncture can lower blood pressure, induce relaxation, increase circulation, decrease anxiety and treat sleeplessness to help patients better regulate their emotions and responses to stress.
Acupuncture can help regulate serotonin, a chemical in the brain that affects our emotional state.
No one needs to go through recovery alone. Your acupuncturist is here to help you regain balance in your body and mind.
Herbs & Mental Health
Chinese herbology can relieve emotional distress by treating the root cause of the mental state. In conjunction with acupuncture, herbal therapy can help restore balance in the body and mind. Chinese herbal medicine is often prescribed in these two ways:
Patent formulas – used to treat common for anxiety, PMS, headaches, depression, low energy, palpitations.
Custom formulas – no two patients and pain manifestation and type are alike; this is why our pharmacy can prepare custom formulas tailored to each case.
Upon requesting for herbal medicine, please inform us of all medications you are currently taking as some herbs may have adverse reactions to certain pharmaceuticals.
What About Diet & Mental Health?
A very large body of evidence now exists that suggests diet is as important to mental health as it is to physical health,” says Felice Jacka, president of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research. “A healthy diet is protective and an unhealthy diet is a risk factor for depression and anxiety.”
Swimming great Michael Phelps, NFL Pro Bowler Tony Richards, Tour de France winner Vincenzo Nibali, and 18-time NBA All-star Kobe Bryant are just a few of the elite athletes who receive regular acupuncture, cupping and/or tuina treatments.
How can you benefit from the same level of support at your own level of fitness? Through acupuncture’s ability to:
Reduce inflammation, increase circulation and relax tense muscles.
Speed up healingof sprains, strains and soft tissue injuries such as bruises and tendonitis.
Naturally boost energy levels.
What about cupping & sports?
US Swimmer Michael Phelps made the headlines with cupping marks during the 2016 Olympics. Cupping involves placing a glass or plastic cup in problem areas and creating a vacuum inside the cup – suction is created on the skin surface. Stationary or massage cupping is a top modality to:
Remove toxins and alleviate inflammation.
Ease stiff muscles, particularly when using massage cupping.
Promote the healing of any injury or pain, from sports or other causes.
Alleviate respiratory congestion.
Ask us if cupping could benefit you!
Herbs & Sports
In 1993 when the Chinese women’s track and field team broke multiple world records, the world found out that all the members consumed a special drink made from Cordyceps Sinensis. The modern practice of herbal medicine, diet and supplementation can contribute to:
Enhanced performance in sports and daily life.
Faster healing and recovery for injuries such as broken bones, sprains, and strains.
Less fatigue from strenuous workouts or overtraining.
Ask during your consultation about how herbs and supplements can support your active lifestyle and contribute to a balanced training regimen in any sport or activity.
Pain can range from mild, localized discomfort to agony. It has both physical and emotional components. It may be contained to a discrete area, as in an injury, or it can be more diffuse, as in disorders like fibromyalgia. Pain is mediated by specific nerve fibers that carry the pain impulses to the brain. Pain is present in various conditions such back and neck pain, osteoarthritis/knee pain, menstrual pain, and headaches, including migraines. Acupuncture therapy is always a first line treatment for the treatment of pain and/or the underlying condition when appropriate.
How does acupuncture work for pain relief?
Acupuncture treatments work on two fronts: treating the root causes of the pain and alleviating the pain itself. Pain relief with acupuncture comes from inactivating the source of pain by modulating endorphin levels. Needling affects the cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of the naturally-occurring opiate substances acting at the spinal level or within the brain.
Local Blood Flow – acupuncture increases local blood flow to the painful area.
Corticosteroid Release– needling stimulates vascular and immuno-modulatory factors, including those of local inflammation.
Acupuncture also shows promise as a complementary therapy to control symptoms in the treatment of cancer. In fact, Western doctors have used acupuncture to treat the pain, fatigue, nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.
Herbs & Pain
Chinese herbology addresses pain by first diagnosing and treating the root of the pain. In addition, herbal products can support pain relief whether it is due to trauma, acute or chronic disease. Several product types are used:
Patent formulas – used to treat common pain types such as headaches, sore throat, knee pain.
Custom formulas – no two patients and pain manifestation and type are alike; this is why our dispensary can prepare custom formulas tailored to each presentation.
Patches & Ointments – various products are available to treat pain externally for joint, muscular or tendon pain
Please make sure you inform us about all medications you are currently taking as some herbs are contra-indicated with certain pharmaceuticals.
Did You Know That…
The Joint Commission issued a mandate in relation to opioids requesting that proactive steps be taken to encourage health care providers to prioritize non-opioid pain management options, including acupuncture.
What About Ear Acupuncture for Pain?
Ear acupuncture is a viable alternative to existing fast-acting pain relief methods. It can be an easier treatment to adjust to. Ask us if it is suitable for you!
acupuncture has the potential to reduce or even in some cases eliminate the need for opioids and non-opioid drugs while also helping to treat opioid addiction.” Researchers believe acupuncture can replace opioids through stimulating the production of the human body’s “endogenous opioids”.

Mason and Tawfeeq from Highland Park Senior High School crafted their cases based on schools in their neighborhood and beyond.
If you had all the power of the US Government, how would you change the education system?
That’s what our junior varsity and varsity debaters are researching, writing about, and debating this year. They have been inspired by schools in their neighborhood and beyond. MNUDL’s debaters are building cases around this policy resolution:
The United States Federal Government should amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to include funding and regulation of a universal, public pre-kindergarten education program in the United States.
The 2017 topic is offering students a chance to engage with their in-school education out of school time by identifying problems and creating new solutions. Maya from Washburn High School likes that this year’s topic helps her connect with students from other schools. “It’s interesting because we relate to it. We’re all in school. You get to meet people from other schools and connect with them and make bonds through conversations about education. That extends out, and you can have conversations about other things.”
Read on to learn more about how students would change the education system!
Our students have developed great cases for funding and regulation of education in the United States:
Increase Funding to Diversify STEM Education
“I’m a minority and I sympathize with the idea that there’s not enough representation in the STEM workforce for minorities,” says Tawfeeq from Highland Park Senior High School. “I really just want to advocate for my ideas.” Debate gives Tawfeeq the opportunity to talk about how he would change this growing field in which he sees a future for himself: “I want to be an engineer. A computer engineer, do some programming,” he explains.
Increase Funding to Immersion Schools
Foreign language education is a popular topic among our debaters this year. Maya from Washburn High School and her partner have been advocating for more funding to the immersion school model. Maya argues that funding more foreign language immersion schools would have widespread impacts. “Our advantages are equity and competitiveness,” May says. “We argue that immersion schools work to solve racism and we could stop war.”
Increase Funding and Regulation of Charter Schools
“This topic really struck a chord,” says Mason from Highland Park Senior High School, who learned more about this issue at debate camp. “Charter schools have a large amount of interest, but not the funding. On average charter schools receive [about] $4,000 less per student than public school.” Mason also advocates for tighter regulations to make charter schools more equitable and effective. “Some charter schools have been discriminatory against people of color and people with disabilities. In order to allow everyone to receive high quality education, our plan stipulates that charter schools have to meet the same standards of enrollment inclusivity as public schools.”
Increase Funding to Digital & Technology Literacy
“This topic originally came from a conversation with my coach about Mark Zuckerberg and companies doing surveillance against the US population,” says Henry from Highland Park Senior High School. “Technological literacy will boost the economy and digital literacy will allow people to protect themselves from mass surveillance.” While there are ways to protect yourself from surveillance on an individual level, Henry argues “we need the whole population to be educated” through a nationwide educational effort. Henry’s case warns of a severe impact we may see without a more technology-savvy population: “modulation, which is essentially democracy being destroyed through surveillance.”
Increase Funding and Regulation of Sex Education
Sex education has uneven standards in individual states across the US, and Haley from Central High School argues that this creates negative outcomes for students. “Sex education is important!” she says. Haley finds areas to improve within sex education in her own school: “It’s like, ‘here’s a diagram to label the parts of our anatomy’ or ‘here’s a pamphlet on STDs’. There’s nothing about any form of birth control. No options for LGBT or disabled people, nothing about consent.” Haley’s plan would mandate and fund inclusive and comprehensive sex education, covering these topics and more.
Increase Funding to Computer Science
Eli from Highland Park Senior High School wrote this case because he believes too many students lack access to computer science education. “In the US, a huge field of computer science has been created and millions of job openings need to get filled. If we’re teaching kids, we’re going to create more professionals in that area,” Eli says. “But right now, only about one fourth of high schoolers actually get access to a computer science class. If we don’t have those classes and don’t push people to explore and learn about computer science, these gaps aren’t going to get filled and we’re going to continue to have problems with this industry.” Eli and his partner have an interest in computer science and want other students to have the same opportunities they do.

The sales tax department is assessing the sale of flats in over 400 building projects which are under construction in Mumbai.
A senior sales tax official said assessment notices had been issued to private developers carrying out the construction. The department wants to know from the developer how many flats have been sold in under-construction properties. The sale records will be later scrutinized by the department.
The state government introduced a new composition scheme in the state budget earlier this year. Under the scheme flat sales in an under-construction property (before issuance of completion certificate) would attract a service tax of 1% of the agreement value of the transaction. While the new regime is applicable to all under-construction flats/units sold after June 20, 2006 (date on which transfer of under-construction property was brought under the ambit of value added tax), sales tax officials said that assessment notices had not been issued to all concerned private developers.
The Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry (MCHI) , a leading association of builders, challenged the decision to levy the tax on under-construction property in the Bombay high court. "As the court is yet to order a final decision in this regard, assessment notices have been issued only to non-MCHI members," a senior sales tax official said. The court, while hearing the petition, absolved MCHI members from registration and assessment under the scheme, till the disposal of the case.
However relief has not been extended to non-MCHI members , whose sales records are now being scrutinized . " Only a handful of developers had availed the scheme following the notices. The department has so far collected nearly Rs one crore in tax from few developers. Some others have sought details regarding the composition scheme stating they were willing to comply, while others have sought protection quoting the court relief for MCHI members," the senior official added.
Meanwhile MCHI members have been spared the assessment headache. During the pendency of the petition, the department however has sought information on flat sales in projects undertaken by them.

After months of design and preparation, Dr. Mohamed Mahgoub and a dedicated group of CIM students culminated phase one of a special project. The students, a mix of two CIM courses: senior project and independent studies in decorative concrete, took part in the pouring of a concrete rook. The concrete rook is the symbol of the Newark College of Engineering (NCE). The rook is 6 ft. high and 3 ft. wide and was poured indoors in the carpenter machine shop at the physical plant building after the construction of the intricate formwork was completed. The form was built with the expertise of NJIT carpenter Mr. William Araujo and his assistant Mr. Edward Jones. Their involvement in the project was invaluable and we are highly grateful. The inspiration came from the pouring of a small 2 ft. by 1 ft. model made a few weeks earlier. The final rook will weigh over a ton.
The team rook used a concrete mix with fibers and a special coloring to mimick the original “golden-red” shade of the NCE logo. The concrete was donated by County Concrete, and was facilitated by current CIM student Nicolas Denicoli, who works for the company. The final product will be installed in the epicenter of the NJIT campus near the Green where it will be visible to everyone. It will be a powerful marketing tool and bring great exposure to the CIM program. We would like to thank Dr. Basil Baltzis, Dean of NCE , and Dr. Ronald Rockland, Chair of Department of Engineering Technology for their review and approval of the project. Stay tuned for phase two of the project where the finished rook will be installed in its final location.
NJIT Media was highly enthusiastic about covering the pour. Ms. Tracey Regan, Department of Strategic Communication, and a professional photographer did an excellent job covering the work of the students. Allyn Luke, Manager of Concrete Laboratory, provided all the concrete testing equipment and facilitated the quality assurance. We extend our special thanks to Mr. Joe Tartaglia, Vice President for Facilities Management, Mr. Charlie Nieves, Manager of Physical Plant, for approving the use of the indoor facilities and the placement of the rook on the Green and their great support for the CIM program.

- Guilt Ridden Pop
Gospel Gossip's debut, 2007's Sing into My Mouth, was one erratic album-- not without its charms, but certainly flawed enough to obscure the band's potential. Sometimes their gothic dream-pop sounded seductively ominous; at other times, it seemed sickeningly precious. It was the kind of tonally inconsistent record you might expect from a young band either too unsure or too afraid to commit. No such hang-ups on "Nashville", a searing new single that finds the Northfield, Minn., band firmly in command. The feedback is denser, angrier, but it's the drumming-- a blunt weapon as opposed to mere ballast-- that really makes the difference. Whether the band can sustain this vigorous tunefulness over the course of an album, or even the forthcoming Dreamland EP, remains to be seen, but if progress is measured in increments, "Nashville" is one giant step forward.

It doesn't matter how strong your opinions are. If you don't use your power for positive change, you are, indeed, part of the problem.— Coretta Scott King
Lust African American Women quotations
Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.
Deal with yourself as a individual, worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you the same way.
Never be limited by other people's limited imaginations.
I believe unconditionally in the ability of people to respond when they are told the truth. We need to be taught to study rather than believe, to inquire rather than to affirm.
Don't settle for average. Bring your best to the moment. Then, whether it fails or succeeds, at least you know you gave all you had. We need to live the best that's in us.
Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down.
And trust your instincts ... good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don't hurt. They're not painful. That's not just with somebody you want to marry, but it's with the friends that you choose. It's with the people you surround yourselves with.
In the dark times, if you have something to hold on to, which is yourself, you'll survive.
My father was a slave and my people died to build this country and I am going to stay here and have a part of it just like you.
You are on the eve of a complete victory. You can't go wrong. The world is behind you.
I've always believed that I could do whatever I set my mind to do.
What they call you is one thing. What you answer to is something else.
I'm convinced that we Black women possess a special indestructible strength that allows us to not only get down, but to get up, to get through, and to get over.
The potential for greatness lives within us all.
I had very supportive parents that made the way for me, even at a time when there were very few women - no women, really; maybe two or three women - and very few, fewer than that, African-American women heading in this direction, so there were very few people to look up to. You just had to have faith.
Defining myself, as opposed to being defined by others, is one of the most difficult challenges I face.
There's a category for me. I like to be referred to as a good singer of good songs in good taste.
Don't let anything stop you. There will be times when you'll be disappointed, but you can't stop. Make yourself the best that you can make out of what you are. The very best.
I'm realizing, you don't need to change anything about yourself.
This is who you are, and it's okay. That's daring.
I am the dream and the hope of the slave
Black women have been cultured to compare not connect.
The virtue of female slaves is wholly at the mercy of irresponsible tyrants, and women are bought and sold in our slave markets, to gratify the brutal lust of those who bear the name of Christians.
Like a lot of Black women, I have always had to invent the power my freedom requires.
I am convinced that the Black man will only reach his full potential when he learns to draw upon the strengths and insights of the Black woman.
I suggest that Black feminist thought consists of specialised knowledge created by African-American women which clarifies a standpoint of and for Black women. In other words, Black feminist thought encompasses theoretical interpretations of Black women's reality by those who live it.
When I was at Baylor, I wasn't fully happy because I couldn't be all the way out. It feels so good saying it: I am a strong, black lesbian woman.
We accepted education as the means to rise above the limitations that a prejudiced society endeavored to place upon us.
To reaffirm the statement on the choosing of my identity, I come from two beautiful cultures which I have embraced, bridged, balanced, and identify with. I am proud to be who I am as a Dine' (Navajo) and Nahilii (African American) woman. Hozho', , & blessings
It's your life... why not fill it with as much joy as possible?
Let me tell you something: The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.
Whatever we believe about ourselves and our ability comes true for us.
Move with the flow. Don't fight the current. Resist nothing. Let life carry you. Don't try to carry it.
Being alive and being a woman is all I got, but being colored is a metaphysical dilemma I haven't conquered yet.

I spent a good deal of time this weekend starting new things. I was unsettled and restless. I finished the black sweater I have been working on. The only garment in my pile of unfinished things is a vest that needs to have the button bands ripped back and redone. I will do that shortly, but it just wasn't what I needed on the weekend. I think it is still in the thinking-about-changes-I-want-to-make mode. Nothing happens till the thinking about it is done. I worked rather desultorily on a Daybreak scarf, but that involved some ripping out too.
It seemed the perfect time to wind.
Winding yarn is an exercise in frustration if you don't look for the joys in it. Winding is a separate job in the grand scheme of things. It is an opportunity to see yet another character of your yarn. You can see how springy it is, does it cling to itself, how does it perform under tension, will it kink back on itself ? All these things show up in one way or another when you wind.
But the thing I most enjoy about winding yarn is that first moment when you take that hank you bought at the store and you pop open the ends and out falls a river of splendor. Even ordinary old Cascade 220 has splendor at this stage, falling wantonly away from its tightly wound packaged form. If the river of yarn has a scent or hides a little of the rinse after dying in it, it wafts up and you are instantly tied to something the makers and sellers never intended to tell you about the yarn.
If your yarn is processed simply and lightly, when you open the skein, you smell sheep and farms and it reminds you of meadows and sunlight and soft breezes through your hair on a sunny summer day.
I did a little of that this weekend, and I am content. I know what I am going to work on next. I know what the next stitches will be. My path is clear and I feel good.
Good things come when you are lucky enough to wind your yarn.

Nowadays people live in the cities and town and very few people still prefer the countryside. However, now more than a hundred years ago most people lived in the farms in the country and they lived mainly on the farm products they produced themselves. Of course many of them had farm animals and cows were preferred because they provided the necessary milk. But when they had to milk the cows they needed a small stool because that was a very uncomfortable position and the stool had to be small and easy to move. It was simple in design, with three or four legs and it was called a milk stool. Very few people still use it now for actually milking cows, but the design stuck, as it is simple and useful.
This explains why you can still find this Loll Designs Milk Stool in stores, either online or in real stores. But now this milk stool is made of entirely recycled plastic, so pretty modern when compared to the wood they used back then. Because of this feature you can use it both indoors and outdoors and weather will not affect it too much. The stool is available in many colour options and you can choose your favourite from apple red, black, chocolate brown, charcoal grey, cloud white, leaf green, sky blue and sand. And this for $156.40 from Loll Designs.


Conservative political commentator Rush Limbaugh ripped into a CNN analyst he referred to as an "infobabe" Tuesday for showing what he sees as outright disrespect for retired neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate, Ben Carson, for calling the renowned doctor a lower-tier candidate who will "end up looking presidential" because of real estate mogul Donald Trump's entry into the 2016 presidential race.
"I heard before Trump made his announcement this morning — I saw this on CNN some infobabe, I don't remember who, was lamenting Trump getting in the race, is a clown. And so, the real problem with Trump getting in is he's going to make the Republican lower tier look good. And she cited Dr. Ben Carson as an example and how unfortunate that is, that Ben Carson is gonna end up looking presidential because Trump getting in is a clown," said Limbaugh on his radio show before launching into a staunch defense of Carson as a person and presidential candidate.
"Dr. Benjamin Carson is one of the finest, most accomplished human beings on this planet who has done more for people than most people in politics will ever do. And he's done it personally, not with other people's money," said Limbaugh. more >>
A congregation in Michigan seeking to restore a church sign has rejected a $500 donation from animal rights group PETA amid concerns over the conditions of their offer to help, but only if they can include their own message under Jesus Christ, saying: "Road to hell is paved with bacon."
J. Todd Vanaman, pastor of Dixie Baptist Church of Clarkston, told The Christian Post that the sign, known as the "Hi-Way Pulpit," is "not a billboard advertisement."
"PETA offered $500 for a one week advertisement for their cause, which is not in keeping with our purpose, therefore we respectfully declined," said Vanaman. more >>
LaVern Vivio, a 52-year-old Christian radio personality and mother of four from Springfield, Tennessee, revealed recently that she once struggled with gender identity issues as a teenager and expressed sympathy for Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner.
"I am a 52-year-old woman and mother of four. A wife for almost 26 years but I wished I had been born a boy," Vivio began in a blog post last Thursday.
"Probably until I was well into junior high and maybe even high school I was fairly convinced God had simply mixed me up with John Mark, the name my parents had selected if I had been born male," she continued. more >>
An eighth-generation circus star, who miraculously survived a 25-foot fall while performing a routine acrobatic stunt, said she asked God to save her as she plunged into the audience.
Vicki Garcia, who along with her husband, Pablo, work for the Circo Hermanos Vazquez touring circus company and comprise the high-flying acrobatic team called the "Duo Garcia," was performing a routine "rocket" stunt last Thursday at a circus in Houston when she slipped and her harness wasn't fastened tight.
As soon as Garcia, who is an eighth-generation circus performer on her mom's side and a seventh-generation performer on her dad's side, slipped, the 17-year circus vet quickly fell approximately 25-feet into the front of the crowd. more >>
The International Olympic Committee has no plans to revoke the gold medal of Bruce Jenner despite calls from an online petition to do so following Jenner's gender identity change.

"As we all know, Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner) is an Olympic gold medalist," states the petition, which must get 100,000 signatures by July 1 to be guaranteed an official reply from the Obama administration. more >>
Washington, D.C.'s public transportation system has rejected an ad depicting a cartoon representation of the Muslim prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, by adopting a ban on "issues" ads.

"In the coming months, Metro will fully consider the impact that issue-related advertisements have on the community by gathering input from riders, local community groups and advocates," stated Tolbert, as reported by The Hill. more >>

By Ms. June
NASHVILLE, TN — Michael Grant, a native of Nashville, is ready to hit the ground running and get to the bottom of the affordable housing crisis that continues to plague the citizens. Grant is no stranger to invoking change, handling business and making a difference in the community as he was the former head of the National Bankers Association for almost a decade. He returns to the area with a solid plan, a mission and a team of professionals committed to helping make homeownership become a reality for anyone who has the desire to purchase a home.
Grant is the Regional President of United Security Financial that was founded by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Lois Johnson. This is a nationwide mortgage lender with turn key solutions to move renters from building equity for someone else into a situation where they will eventually own the home they are paying for. With over 30 years of award winning experience, Ms. Johnson’s goal to fulfill the homeowners needs with the best rates and lowest costs has continued to make United Security Financial a powerhouse in the real estate industry. With roughly $1 billion in assets and lending success in over 48 states, Grant and Ms. Johnson have now opened an office in Nashville. He stated that, “We are ready to educate the community, help people with credit repair, help them obtain funding and start putting families in homes.”
Not only does United Security Financial help families purchase homes, they also provide support to help them stay in them. Timing is everything for Grant as he and his team are putting their infrastructure together and looking forward to having a loan processor and a loan officer in place and ready to serve. He firmly stated, “Gentrification has to stop, raising taxes and forcing people out of their homes has to stop, and the city leaders and local government need to do something about this.”
CEO Johnson is not interested in placing residents in low rated or low value communities to become homeowners in areas deemed affordable by the city. Residents of Nashville can have the ability to forego these designated areas and enjoy living in mixed income neighborhoods and better communities. They jointly want to remove misconceived notions such as credit scores and let residents know that the minimum credit score with the United Security Financial company is a 620 FICO. In addition, they want to share that they have attractive special programs for first time homeowners that only require 0 – 3.5% down and if needed, you can have several borrowers or signers on your loan.
Grant and Johnson are committed to promoting homeownership in the Metro area and they are bringing financial seminars, workshops and information sessions to communities and churches. With specialization in government backed homeownership programs with industry leaders Fannie Mae and Ginne Mae; minorities, young families, Veterans and the entire community are welcome at United Security Financial as they work diligently to make real estate dreams come true.
Mr. Grant indicated that, “I look forward to collaborating with the Mayors office and the Council to begin seeking solutions to increase the pool of affordable housing.” He is inviting the community and the public to their first of many information sessions scheduled on September 6, 2018.

Sharing photos of dead children won’t change the world
And it shouldn’t make anyone feel good about themselves
I first saw three-year-old Aylan Kurdi, in the same way you did, his little frame washed up on a beach like driftwood, his face buried in the sand. And maybe – like me – you first saw this picture shared on Facebook, or Twitter.
On my newsfeed Aylan was sandwiched between an article exploring the history of Diddy and 50 Cent’s beef over vodka brands and some interior shots of a private jet some dick from my old school uploaded. Does anyone honestly believe that’s a fitting resting place for a human being?
Today there were more fragments of tragedy and barbarism – another post stuffed with pictures of dead children – shared on my feed, without warning, without context. Every share of it was accompanied by high-minded words – it’s time to act now, enough is enough – that kind of thing.
The sense of something being done created by the partnership of these horrific pictures and a worthy Facebook status is entirely false. Sharing this stuff, clicking “join” on a march you probably won’t go to: it’s about giving the impression of being important and profound without actually doing the necessary intellectual heavy lifting to be those things. It’s all about feeling, not thought.
It’s about guilt. It’s about an electric and severe prod to the synapses, aimed at dredging up your most disposable emotions, packing them up and sending them off to whichever marginal hellhole is most wretched this week.
The problem with using a feeling like guilt to get people to care about the plight of Syrian refugees is obvious. Guilt is simply a feeling before you have other feelings. You’ll feel something if you stub your toe, or watch Eastenders or send a filthy Snapchat. Feelings aren’t permanent or coherent or serious or rational. They’re not a solution to anything.
Personally, all I feel when I see these pictures is anger – not at the situation itself (that’s more of an exhausting sadness vibe) – but at the people dishing out these images. Facebook – a thicket of bullshit on the best of days – is no place to share pictures of dead children. It reduces real grief and tragedy to the level of trivia, to be consumed, digested and jumbled up with pictures of pugs or Taylor Swift memes.
Syrians have been dying for years, cruelly and brutally. They’ve died in shootings and bombings. They’ve died in chemical weapon attacks. They’ve died fleeing their war ravaged country, their bodies crushed and contorted, stacked in trunks, frozen in cargo holds.
You don’t deserve to feel better about the world or your place in it if you think it’s fair to reduce Aylan to titillating propaganda and Facebook likes. Over and over again I’ve heard that picture of him described as shocking. It’s only shocking if you’ve had your head in the sand for the last three years, if by acting as a voyeur is the only way you can understand reality.

A web video heavily edited from NJTV footage and now promoted by a Democratic blog is accusing Governor Christie of being racist for his use of the word “boy” during an event in Paterson Tuesday.
The YouTube video posted on BlueJersey.com Friday and promoted by the site’s bloggers on Twitter, shows Christie saying “I hear ya boy” over and over again when speaking to an African-American man in the audience during his town hall-style event at St. Luke’s Baptist Church.
Blue Jersey is a liberal blog that features regular postings by some Democratic lawmakers including Teaneck state Sen. Loretta Weinberg.
Christie was responding to parent Mike Henry who began shouting “Fix the public schools!” as the governor was promoting his school voucher plan, which would give students in failing public schools funds to attend private schools.
“You can yell all you want about fix the public schools,” Christie said as Henry continued to shout. “Yeah, I hear ya, boy, I hear ya. I hear what you’re saying. But let me tell you something else. Let me tell you something else, what I hear is the despair”
Henry, a deacon at Everlasting Life Ministry in Paterson, said Friday he didn’t think Christie’s remarks were racist.
“I wouldn’t think that the governor meant anything derogatory about that,” he said. “I think maybe it was a form of expression. I don’t think it was a personal attack against me. The governor is a gentleman as far as I’m concerned.”
Christie’s office said the governor didn’t mean anything by the remark.
“The Governor didn’t mean anything by it at all,” spokesman Michael Drewniak said. “He was speaking colloquially like he does with any crowd of people on any given day. And if you look at the context of the sentence and the exchange, you can see that.”
The video is the latest attempt by Democrats — a party divided over the issue of school vouchers — to take on the popular Republican who is seeking re-election this year.
On Thursday, the Rev. Kenneth Clayton, who blessed Christie after the event at his church Tuesday, called on the governor to apologize to Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, D-Essex, for referring to her by her position and race rather than by name.
Christie’s comment came after he made a pitch for the Republican-sponsored Opportunity Scholarship Act legislation, which would give students vouchers. School issues dominated at the Paterson event.
“We have an African-American female speaker of the Assembly who represents communities like East Orange and Orange where there are failing schools all over and she refuses to let people vote on this bill,” Christie said.
Oliver has called Christie’s comment appalling. She also said she has offered to discuss a compromise with Christie that would not be detrimental to the public schools, but the governor hasn’t taken her up on her offer.
While Oliver has concerns about the impact of the program on the state’s public school system, several Democrats, including Newark Mayor Cory Booker and President Obama support vouchers.
Rosi Efthim, editorial director of Blue Jersey, said the site wanted to highlight Christie’s “boy” comment after his remarks about Oliver generated so much discussion.
“There was so much conversation about that,” she said of Christie’s characterization of Oliver. “We felt this was a blip that was missed and we wanted to draw attention to it.”
She said the video was put together by a “friend” and was not tied to a political campaign or organization. She said it allows viewers to draw their own conclusions.
“I think people can makeup their own minds and I think the video speaks for itself,” she said. “It’s a glimpse of what happens, what Chris Christie is like when he loses control of these events.”
But the video only shows part of what Christie said and includes quotes from Dr. Marin Luther King Jr. and a civil rights legal brief about the significance of calling an African-American man “boy.”
“I think it’s context,” Efthim said when asked if the video could sway a viewer’s opinion. “They can make up their own mind.”
And she said Blue Jersey has offered the unedited clip to media outlets who want to see Christie’s full statements.
“What we put together was intended to be short and intended to make a point,” she said. “I have no problem with people seeing the larger video.”
Clayton, who is also president of the Paterson Branch of the NAACP, said several members of the community have reached out to him about Christie’s remark, but he agrees with Henry.
“I don’t think it was a racist remark at all,” he said Friday. “Some people who are trying to make the remark racist are trying to manipulate what was said and how it was said. I’ve listened to it at least 10 times.”
He said although Henry and Christie disagreed on the voucher issue, the governor wasn’t being disrespectful. He actually told Henry to say when several attendees called on the governor to kick him out of the event for interrupting.
“They disagreed on a political point, which is fair, and what politics is about but the governor at that point was not being disrespectful or saying something racist,” Clayton said. “That word has racial implications to African-Americans, particularly when it’s said by a white male, but again you have to be clear on how it’s said and when it’s said.”
Christie has used the word “boy” repeatedly at public events. When he went to Belmar in January to highlight the rebuilding of the boardwalk following superstorm Sandy he said, “I am thrilled to be back here in Belmar, and boy, you look a heck of a lot better then you did when I landed here the day after the storm.”
When talking about state government under his predecessor Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine at a town hall-style event in Cedar Grove last June he said, “Get read, boy here we go, these Corzine Democrats are back.”
In August, when signing the bill that merged much of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey with Rutgers University, Christie used the term when explaining his original restructuring proposal was only a starting point.
“My plan was a conversation starter,” he said. “And boy did we ever. We started the conversation and that there was some anxiety and upset over that, I make no apologies for it.”

The decision to repackage bulk, oral-solid medications in-house or purchase these drugs in unit-dose form is a central consideration when ensuring patients receive high-quality, cost-effective medications. Both methods offer advantages and disadvantages depending on the size of the hospital and its individualized needs; while hospitals that require a limited amount of packaging may do well repackaging bulk products in-house, facilities that utilize higher volumes may benefit from purchasing pre-packaged, bar coded, unit-dose medications from an outsourcer. Carefully determining which method (or combination of methods) best supports your facility’s needs is critical.
Indiana University Health Bloomington (IUHB) is a 335-bed hospital serving south central Indiana. The hospital currently relies on a decentralized drug distribution model, utilizing medication carousels, an automated narcotic management system, automated anesthesia carts in the operating rooms, and ADCs on the units. Approximately 90% of total doses administered are dispensed from ADCs.
Outdated Approach to Distribution
Previously, our hospital’s distribution strategy was based on a centralized model, which included purchasing bulk, oral-solid tablets and capsules and repackaging them in-house. At that time, we utilized an older-model machine to repackage medications on a per-patient basis. Medications were packaged and dispensed by patient in a single strip, and then stocked by patient in secure carts located in each nursing unit. Unfortunately, the repackaging machine did not include bar-coding capabilities, nor did it interface with the other pharmacy information systems. As a result, our ability to monitor inventory and improve efficiency was severely limited.
Eight years ago, in a quest to create a more holistic, automated system, we switched to decentralized distribution supported by ADCs stocked by drug, rather than by patient. With this change, we can now rely on the in-depth reporting capabilities of our ADCs to drive increased efficiencies in inventory and usage. To support this approach, we decided to focus on purchasing the majority of our medications in bar-coded, unit-dose form, rather than make the investment in upgrading our repackaging operation. Approximately 75% to 80% of total oral-solid medications are purchased in bar-coded, unit-dose form. Those medications that are not available in unit dose from the manufacturer are repackaged in-house using a small, tabletop packaging machine.
Maximizing the Use of Pre-Packaged Unit-Dose Products
The primary benefits we have realized as a result of maximizing use of outsourced, pre-packaged, unit-dose products include the safety benefits afforded by purchasing medications in bar-coded format with compliant labeling and tall-man lettering, the extended shelf-life of these products due to the outsourcers’ stability testing, and the increase in operational efficiency resulting from avoiding the majority of in-house repackaging.
- Medication Safety. Given the primacy of patient safety, outsourced, pre-packaged, unit-dose medications have significantly improved our ability to protect patients. For example, all of the unit-dose medications purchased arrive bar-coded to ensure patients receive the correct drug. Because our unit-dose vendors are regulated by the FDA and operate cGMP facilities, we are very confident in the quality and sterility of their products. Regardless of how excellent our internal policies and procedures are, it would be impossible to replicate cGMP production standards in our facility.
- Enhanced Labeling and Packaging Options. Another significant benefit of purchasing medications in unit-dose form is the wide variety of compliant options for labeling and packaging drugs that is available. The unit-dose medication labeling and packaging options from our vendors include tall-man lettering; color-coded and light-sensitive packaging; and multiple sizes and types of blister packs. In addition, 2D bar codes are widely available from many vendors.
When repackaging medications in-house there are significantly fewer packaging and labeling options. In addition, with in-house production a list of light-sensitive drugs must be maintained and updated, and packaging material must be changed when a drug requiring protection from light needs repackaging. With outsourced products, the color-coded packaging supports patient safety and is particularly effective at increasing efficiency for restocking. The multiple types of blister packages allow for further visual differentiation of product. And with 2D bar codes, the additional space on the bar code allows for the inclusion of more safety data. In addition to the NDC code, lot numbers and expiration dates are easily accommodated, which simplifies recall tracking and the management of out-of-date products. Another benefit from the vendor’s packaging materials is the fact that they can provide smaller blister packs than are available for in-house packaging—the resultant space savings allows for less frequent restocking of ADCs. The smaller packages mean more products fit into the cabinet pockets, and thus more medication can be made available for patient needs.
- Reduced Infrastructure. Choosing to outsource unit-dose packaging eliminates the need for a robust packaging infrastructure within the pharmacy. As a result, equipment needs are reduced, and less packaging material is required. Not only does this free up an expense line in the budget, but it also frees up floor space within the pharmacy.
- Increased Efficiency. Improving operational efficiency is a continual concern in today’s busy pharmacy environment. Purchasing as many medications as possible in pre-packaged, bar-coded, unit-of-use form allows staff to be redeployed to tasks other than packaging medications. In addition, because these medications arrive in the hospital already packaged and bar coded, fewer steps are required in the drug procurement and dispensing process, which saves significant time as a technician does not need to package the drugs and a pharmacist does not need to verify that the medications are correct prior to adding them to stock. Rather, the receiving technician simply scans the package upon receipt and adds it to the inventory, saving time and resources.
- Extended Shelf Life. When repackaging bulk medications in-house, many states require they be used within 12 months or by the manufacturer’s expiration date, whichever is sooner; unit-dose medications that have undergone stability testing often support beyond-use dating of up to 24 months.
When evaluating the costs of in-house repackaging of bulk product versus purchasing medication pre-packaged in unit dose, it is important to carefully consider accurate cost estimates for each strategy. While in many cases it may initially appear more cost-effective to purchase bulk product and repackage it in-house, the total cost of this approach must be considered, including labor, equipment, packaging materials, and the time required for the technician to repackage medication and for the pharmacist to verify it is correct.
Estimates on how much it costs to repackage in-house vary, with some as little as $0.08 per dose and others as much as $0.20 per dose.1 To calculate the cost of re-packaging bulk medications in-house, we considered the costs of packaging materials, maintenance and depreciation of packaging machines, and labor costs; our estimate was approximately $0.14 to $0.15 per dose. It is important to note that some products, such as controlled substances and chemotherapy, will have a much higher associated cost, and this must be factored into the analysis. After evaluating the cost, of purchasing unit-dose medications, we estimated that approximately 80% of the time it is more economical to purchase pre-packaged, unit-dose medications rather than repackage the bulk product in-house.
While it is not possible to completely eliminate in-house repackaging—not all drugs are available in unit dose, and the price point of certain unit-dose medications may be cost-prohibitive—reducing the volume of medications that must be repackaged in-house has been an effective strategy at IUHB. However, because procurement decisions must be based on multiple factors, it is vital to continually re-evaluate the available options to secure the highest quality medications for patients.

Geekness abounds. Not only do we get a new Watchmen trailer - with some effective use of Philip Glass music but the trailer for the new Star Trek movie is online too. As a Trek fan since the original series (first seen in glorious in black and white on RTE) I was unconvinced by the " how they all met" concept of the new movie; I just didn't think it'd work. Attaching JJ Abrams to the project made me think it might just work after all and now the trailer gives more grounds for optimism - and isn't Heroes Zachary Quinto scarily like Leonard Nimoy (who I believe will make a cameo in the movie).

The law firm that conducted an internal review of the Bridgegate scandal for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) released a series of memos outlining details of their interviews on Monday.
The memos, released by the New York law firm of Gibson Dunn, detail the interviews attorneys conducted for the million dollar taxpayer fund probe Christie ordered regarding the closure of lanes on the George Washington Bridge last year and allegations that Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno (R) told the mayor of Hoboken that she would need to approve a particular development project in order to receive Hurricane Sandy relief money. The probe was headed by former New York City Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro.
The interviews provided a narrative similar to what was in the report released by Mastro and the statements made by Christie and his inner circle over the past few months. Among these were shifting the blame for the bridge lane closures to Bridget Kelly, a former deputy of staff to Christie who had written a 2013 email that helped launch the final closure. In addition, the report also singled out David Wildstein, a former Port Authority executive, for his role in the lane closures. Aides to Christie also took pains to reiterate comments Christie has made that he was not close to Wildstein when they attended high school together.
Christie and Guadagno both denied that Christie had told the lieutenant governor to tell Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer (D) that she needed to approve a development project from the Rockefeller Group in order to receive Sandy recovery funds. Christie indicated that at the meeting at the governor’s mansion where it is alleged that Christie told this to Guadagno, the pair’s only interactions were to sing a song following a staff dinner and to share small talk while the governor ate raspberries in the mansion kitchen. The interactions occurred during a regular senior staff retreat.
Guadagno told Mastro’s aides that while she routinely attended Sandy related meetings, she did not make regular statements on the policy and that her chief of staff attended more of the meetings than she did.
In addition, Guadagno said that she routinely saw Zimmer at events and that Zimmer was very interested in discussing Hoboken related topics with her. She also noted that Zimmer was hesitant to discuss development projects due to her predecessor, Democrat Peter Cammarano III, being arrested after taking bribes from an FBI informant posing as a developer.
The complete memos can be found here.

Poor The Vaccines. Every review of every album is cursed to feature the same phrase. What exactly do we expect from them? Now more than ever, though, it’s a valid question. While their first two albums saw them embark on a steep upward curve that culminated in a Number One, certified gold record; with their 2013 ‘Melody Calling’ EP they stepped firmly into critically acclaimed territory. Something changed.
‘English Graffiti’ isn’t ‘Melody Calling’ in album form: it’s far more diverse than that. The Vaccines still know how to write a direct hit - ‘Handsome’, with it’s opening “oh God oh God oh God” panic attack, is still an indie-tastic thrash - but they’ve got other gears too. ‘Gimme A Sign’ is the real revelation. Starting like a triumphant take on Justin Timberlake’s ‘Mirrors’, before dropping down to acoustic heartbreaker, then back up to stadium sized, arms aloft, goose-bump inducing chorus - this is a band able to play pop magpies of the highest grade.
From now on, we’ll expect only the best from The Vaccines.

Nti Seesei biibia wop3 no “express” aa unless payment come inside, vim wai.
Ghanaians and fast connections. No patience, y3p3 bibia with a pinch of bribe. (Not saying what she paid was bribe though).
Expecting a fast review cos she knows the record won’t last since it’s already been broken by another lady.
Why pay for expedited review ♂⁉ bibinii p3 no fast fast

This opinion article by Jennifer Westacott, Chief Executive of the Business Council of Australia was published in The Daily Telegraph on 9 March 2016.
Many Australians feel like they are working harder than ever before but not seeing the results of their efforts.
They feel like their wages aren’t keeping up with the rising cost of living.
As they look at a rapidly changing world, they worry too about whether Australia is keeping pace in the international environment, whether we will be able to rise to the economic challenges we face, and whether their children and grandchildren will enjoy the same quality of life that they did.
The truth is, the concerns Australians are feeling are very real.
Our economy is not growing as fast as it could – and that has serious implications for the number of jobs that are created (and the quality of those jobs), the wages we might earn, and the living standards we all enjoy. It has also fuelled the concerns voiced by state and territory governments about how they will pay for essential services and infrastructure like roads, schools and hospitals.
That is why the Business Council of Australia is committed to encouraging us all to think seriously about tax reform. Only real tax reform – that is, reform that is not stymied by political point-scoring or scaremongering – can deliver the real economic growth Australia needs to continue to be competitive in an increasingly volatile international environment.
Along with the rest of the world, the Australian economy is undergoing significant changes, and the dimensions of our future economic growth will be different and new.
Time and again, Australians have proven they can rise to a challenge. This challenge is no different. Our proximity to the rapidly growing Asian markets, our highly educated population and abundant natural resources put Australia in an extraordinarily strong position to make a successful transition.
But our economy is not going to transition to a new one by itself. We must give innovative and hardworking Australians the best chance to adapt to this new environment, to rise to the challenges and make the most of the opportunities.
Put simply, you can’t have a new economy and new jobs with an old tax system.
Our outdated tax arrangements are holding Australia back because they are holding back people and businesses from achieving their full potential:
- When a person considers getting a new job or takes on additional work, they face high marginal tax rates;
- When a person gets a pay rise to keep up with cost of living increases they end up worse off because of higher taxes;
- When a company is considering a new investment in Australia it compares our uncompetitive rates with other countries where it is easier to invest and do business.
To allow our economy to transition successfully, we need to lower personal income taxes to encourage people to participate in the workforce, make an effort and be entrepreneurial. We also need a lower rate of company tax so that businesses are encouraged to invest, innovate and create jobs in Australia.
The potential rewards for all Australians are compelling. If our approach is adopted, we estimate that within a decade the Australian economy could be $9 billion bigger, from the lower company tax rate alone, and there could be 50,000 more jobs.
We will have significantly slowed the number of Australian taxpayers tipping into higher tax brackets through inflation (“bracket creep”).
Australia will be better able to compete with other countries for investment and innovation. We will be a more attractive destination for global companies to do business, creating more jobs, and bringing new technology, and new goods and services to consumers.
If our economy can return to the rate of 3.5 per cent average annual GDP growth Australia has experienced over the last 55 years, in 40 years’ time it will be $1.5 trillion dollars bigger than it will be if we stay on the projected, weaker growth trajectory.
Doing nothing on tax is not an option because the tax system affects so many decisions that influence how quickly we can grow the economy in this challenging new world.
Real growth needs real tax reform.


Azealia Banks takes a dig at Kanye West for 'starving' her and reveals the 'day the shade began' with Rihanna
Azealia Banks has not been known to take things lying down and when she wanted to make her thoughts heard, she made sure that Kanye West and Rihanna were listening. The singer took to Twitter to share her experience working with both of them. It all started when Kim tweeted about artist/songwriter Rhymefest after he spoke about Kanye abandoning Chicago.
"U haven’t been right since u got kicked out of the studio in Hawaii wearing fake Yeezy’s @RHYMEFEST You’re over leveraging Kanye’s name & asked Kanye to donate money to u so stop w your fake community politics & lies. Truth is you haven’t been able to sustain the foundation," Kim wrote in her tweet. Azealia was quick to hop in and tell people what she really thought about it.
"But it’s dedicated to Kanye’s mom... I would assume Kanye would be the one sustaining the foundation + not everyone can afford to pay loads of $ sneakers. I was at that session and Kanye had a private Chef cooking food for only him. Kanye had niggas in the studio hungry and broke," she wrote.
She added, "Literally the most obnoxious thing to watch Kanye eat a plate of cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto off Versace plates and 24k cutlery while not offering anyone in the room a single snack. Ni**as kept looking at him hoping he would offer and it was the most awkward s**t ever." Looking at Azealia's tweet, one could see how frustrated the singer was.
"Like Nigga. I Know I did not fly all the way to Hawaii to lend my creative energy just to watch you stare me in the eyes and eat cantaloupe," she continued. Meanwhile, she took her time to reflame the feud she once had with Rihanna. Rihanna and Azealia started having their differences in 2017 when she stated some names while saying that celebrities used their influence to stir the public. She then shared Rihanna's phone number with her 446,000 followers on Instagram.
Now, she is revealing how it was working with Rihanna. "The other person who starved me out on the studio was Rihanna. I came to her house in Malibu at 8 pm once and she stayed upstairs and partied while I wrote. The whole time her team brought us two beers, a can of coke, and a jar of peanuts. There six of us and no chairs either," she wrote adding that it was "the day the shade began".

Which are the problems usually caused by wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to erupt and are located at the back of the mouth, on both sides of the jaws. There are four of them in total and they usually come in between the ages of 16 and 20.
Not everyone gets wisdom teeth, but for those who do, if they don’t have enough space in their mouth, they can cause some dental health problems.
Read on to find out about the most common problems caused by wisdom teeth.
The four main problems caused by wisdom teeth
The first problem caused by wisdom teeth is tooth decay and damage to other teeth. As they are located right at the end of the mouth, it is difficult to brush these teeth properly, so bacteria tend to accumulate more easily and can cause cavities. In addition, if they hit another adjacent tooth, they can damage it.
They can also cause crowding and malocclusion problems. If there is not enough space in the mouth, crowding of other adjacent teeth and their misalignment can occur. Here a common solution is orthodontics. At Dental Clinic Gallardo & Jiménez we work with fixed orthodontics or braces and also with invisible orthodontics.
Wisdom teeth can also cause problems of infection by pressing on and inflaming the gums. If these teeth do not erupt completely and a lot of dental plaque accumulates, an infection called periocoronaritis can occur.
Finally, if wisdom teeth do not erupt properly, they can become encysted and cause the jawbone to disappear.
Solutions for wisdom teeth at Dental Clinic Gallardo & Jiménez
It is most likely that at some point your wisdom teeth will come out and then we will have to extract them in our dental clinic. This dental treatment is the most advisable before a certain age, when the root has not fully formed. However, if more time has passed and the teeth have not caused any problems, they will not have to be extracted, although we will check them at our appointments.
It is always important to maintain good dental hygiene to prevent these teeth, as well as the others, from causing any pathology or discomfort.
If you would like more information about the problems caused by wisdom teeth, or if they are causing you pain and discomfort, contact us and ask for an appointment at our Gallardo & Jiménez Dental Clinic. We will evaluate your home to give you the solution that best suits your circumstances.

Understanding piezoresistive soft composites as applied to multi-directional tactile sensing arrays
An improvement in tactile force sensing has far reaching implications in many fields. To enable human robot interaction machines must be able to mimic human dexterity. Piezoresistive soft composite materials are one transduction mechanism of great interest to researchers for this purpose. Flexible piezoresistive films are often used as skin analogs and integrated into complex array sensors for tactile sensing. Each mechanism has distinct advantages and disadvantages, but the optical, thermal, and mechanical properties - combined with cheap fabrication cost - make these composite materials good candidates for force sensors. The main goal in this work is to characterize a soft piezoresistive layer in both tension and compression to enable a model system for a piezoresistive tactile force sensor and a characterization platform. In this paper a cantilevered beam is proposed as a base mounted force sensing mechanism. The uniformity of the sensor characteristics heavily depends on the homogeneity of the composite. However, the processes are complex and must be characterized before use. Tests carried out at multiple locations yielded consistent sensitivity values, making these types of composites suitable for array type force sensors. Therefore, the ability to locally characterize a film that will be integrated into a complex force sensor could be critical. Here, several methods to characterize the local sensitivity of flexible piezoresistive films is presented. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes and carbon black are mixed by weight with soft polyurethanes in 13% to 18% concentrations. Numerical calculations are used to simulate several aspects of the materials and the sensors. These simulations are then compared to the experimental tests. Results show that lower weight percentage composites exhibit a higher rate of change of resistivity and gauge factor than films of the same thickness with higher percentages. On the other hand, thicker films exhibit higher gauge factors for the two tested carbon black contents. A linear fit is applied to the ∆ R⁄R vs strain graphs to calculate the gauge factors. ∆ R⁄R vs strain graphs for tension and compression show gauge factors between -8 and 10.3 with the range decreasing with increasing MWCNT percentage.

Avoidance a big reason for blocking calls
From call screening to call blocking, fewer Americans are picking up the phone - even for people they know. That according to new data out from Harris Poll and WhitePages. According to the survey people are blocking calls from businesses and exes - as you might imagine - but they are also blocking calls from friends.
The Consumer Call Blocking study found that about one in five consumers have used a call blocking app or feature to avoid unwanted calls; of those who have used these features 65% report their reasoning as avoiding telemarketers. As for who is blocking calls - moms and dads are more likely to block calls than adults without children in the house and Millennials were more likely than Boomers or Seniors to have call blocking apps on their phones.
Other interesting findings include:
• 44% block calls because of spam
• 26% block calls because of pranks
• 21% block calls because they're receiving calls from an old owner of their number
"As mobile phones have overtaken landlines, Americans have had to deal with a lot of unwanted calls going to their cell phone," said Lori Roth, Director of Mobile Products, WhitePages. "Whether it's telemarketers or spam, one of the recent phone scams like One Ring, or simply unwanted calls from people you know, these calls can feel particularly invasive on mobile and we're seeing the need for call blocking, from basic to extreme, continue to steadily increase."
Most (60%) of those surveyed say they regularly block numbers they don't recognice, 20% block exes phone numbers and 15% have blocked friends when they are busy. About 17% say they've blocked debt collector calls.
