The NY Jets officially settled their kicker battle on Tuesday, releasing the incumbent Eddy Pineiro in favor of former All-Pro Greg Zuerlein. Now, the hope is that Zuerlein can help buck a trend that has troubled the Jets franchise for far too long.
When Zuerlein takes the field next month, he will become the Jets' seventh Week 1 kicker in as many years. Seven years have passed and the Jets have had a different player kicking field goals at the beginning of each season.
That's hard to do. Some would say it's curse-like.
In 2016, the Jets still had Nick Folk. 2017 was headlined by veteran Chandler Catanzaro. 2018 was the famed Pro Bowl season by Jason Myers.
That was, of course, followed up by the disaster of a 2019 season led by the infamous Kaare Vedvik in Week 1. 2020 wasn't much better with Sam Ficken and 2021 with Matt Ammendola didn't move the needle either.
Now, going into 2022, it's Zuerlein's time to show that he can be more of a permanent solution.
Can Greg Zuerlein solve the NY Jets' kicking woes?
Zuerlein is probably the most accomplished kicker the Jets have had during this timeframe. The 10-year NFL veteran is a former All-Pro and was one of the league's best kickers not too long ago.
Unfortunately, inconsistency has plagued his last few seasons and he isn't the same player he was with the Los Angeles Rams back in 2017 when he was named first-team All-Pro after making 38-of-40 field-goal attempts.
Field goals haven't been the biggest issue for him either over the last few seasons. Instead, he's struggled a bit with extra points. Zuerlein has missed nine extra points over the last two seasons and 13 total field goals.
While Zuerlein's consistency has diminished, his incredible leg strength has not. The 34-year-old has made a kick from at least 54 yards in every year of his career and nailed one from at least 56 yards in all but two of his 10 seasons.
Just two years ago, Zuerlein connected on a ridiculous 59-yard attempt with the Dallas Cowboys. That raw power is why he earned the nicknames "Greg the Leg" and "Legatron" while with the Rams.
That leg hasn't gone anywhere either. Zuerlein can be one of the NFL's best kickers again, he just needs to rediscover his consistency. Oftentimes, it's just a mental block that players need to get over.
Will Greg Zuerlein be the person to break the Jets' kicking curse? He certainly has more promise than some of the recent kickers to come through Florham Park. Only time will tell if he can live up to that promise and reignite his stalled career.


Local music producer Gypo Buggane has recently created a remix for cult indie faves, Hull’s Fonda 500. Having been in the industry a considerable amount of time and supporting all kinds of great bands, they recently released their latest album ‘I love Fonda 500’. Following this, they asked some friends to remix the album…and Gypo was one of those friends! Fonda have played both Mannifest and Chasfest and have a healthy following on the island. Gypo also managed to get the song translated into Manx Gaelic language and frontman Simon embraced this exciting challenge!
Have a listen to the remix and let us know your thought in the comments box at the bottom of this page.


Climatologist: 2013 weather pattern doesn’t bode well for crop production
May 25th, 2013 by Ric Hanson
The month of May is winding down and weather-wise, it’s been marked by extremes. Elwynn Taylor is climatologist with Iowa State University Extension. He notes the state broke a record from 1947 for May snowfall and also set record high temperatures for the month. “When we get extremes like that, it is not considered a good omen for what will come with the season,” Taylor says. Taylor notes 2013 has mirrored the weather of 1947 – and that doesn’t bode well for corn and soybean production this year.
“1947 is in the category of being one of the six worst years for crop production and that includes the Dust Bowl,” Taylor says. Like this year, 1947 was marked by a very wet spring. “Then, it went hot and dry in the middle of July and August. That’s when the destruction to the corn came in,” Taylor said. With around 25-percent of Iowa’s corn yet to be planted as we approach Memorial Day, Taylor says corn yields will likely be below trend once again this year.

The pandemic has been a harsh teacher for food justice advocates. We have seen long-term goals grab renewed public attention, win additional resources, and spark more sustainable solutions, only to have these new opportunities fizzle away as policy maker and public attention turns elsewhere. At the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute, we have been working to illuminate the struggles and needs of low wage food workers since our founding in 2016. The pandemic has highlighted the low wages, limited benefits, health and safety hazards, and financial insecurity of food workers and their families across the supply chain. But we worry that we need to do more in the food justice movement to realize new opportunities to solve these persistent problems.
In this commentary, we summarize nine lessons we have learned from the pandemic about improving conditions for food workers. We extract these lessons from our own experiences, in particular a recently released report, a policy brief, and a Grand Rounds presentation sponsored by our institute, all related to food labor. We also draw from our synthesis of the growing academic, journalistic and advocacy work on the food workforce.
1. Define “essential workers” in ways that translate into new rights and benefits.
Early in the pandemic, many elected officials and the public at large realized that food workers, like health care and public safety workers, were essential to keeping our society functioning. But this insight did not lead to higher pay, better health and safety standards, or more access to personal protective equipment. To make the term “essential worker” meaningful, our society must confer benefits that enhance the dignity, power, health and pay of these workers.
2. Low-wage food workers need higher wages and benefits – as well as higher quality employment.
Employment quality refers to the relational and contractual aspects of employment. Recent scholarly work identifies seven dimensions of employment quality that affect worker well-being: employment stability, material rewards, rights and protections, work time arrangements, opportunities for training, collective organization, and interpersonal power relations. The quality of employment across the food sector is generally quite poor, also referred to as precarious, due to high job insecurity, few rights, frequently unstable schedules, and little power on the job. As the pandemic led to mass layoffs of food workers, unannounced changes in work schedules, high exposure risk to COVID-19, and rising financial insecurity, a narrow focus on pay and benefits failed to account for the myriad ways that precarious employment affects both the physical and mental health of food workers. As food justice advocates, we should seize the opportunity to advocate for higher quality employment more broadly. This includes protecting workers (mis)classified as independent contractors, exemplified by the new laws on app-based food delivery workers in New York City and elsewhere.
3. Racism and misogyny are critical obstacles to improving the lives of food workers.
Most low wage food workers are Black, Latinx, or other people of color, recent immigrants and/or women. Their overrepresentation in the lowest paid occupations and industries of the food system imposes a double burden — the low pay, limited benefits and unsafe conditions of their work, and the legacy of policies, hierarchies and business practices that perpetuate racial, gender, and other inequities in the workplace and beyond. The disproportionate burden of the COVID-19 pandemic on communities of color in general and low wage food workers in specific illustrate the cumulative impact of intersecting systems of oppression. Just as the food justice movement fights racial gaps in access to healthy food, we should support efforts to increase minimum wages as a step towards racial equity.
4. Food workers have mental health needs as well as health and safety needs.
In the past, occupational health specialists have focused on the physical impact of workplace injuries and toxic exposures, risks that remain prevalent in many food jobs. The pandemic has exacerbated the negative effects of precarious employment, especially related to job insecurity. The social isolation imposed by the pandemic and the new burdens of juggling work and childcare responsibilities worsened the mental health of food workers, also harming workers’ families. Comprehensive efforts to improve food worker well-being should take on the psychological consequences of precarious employment as well as the physical consequences of workplace hazards. Yet another reason to tackle isolation and mental health problems is that these conditions can make it more difficult for food workers to join unions.
5. Making food workers more visible can win public support for fairer policies.
Labor unions and worker advocacy organizations, such as the United Food and Commercial Workers and the Food Chain Workers Alliance, led public campaigns to tell the stories of food workers hurt by the pandemic. We must find new ways to make these personal narratives public and to sustain the political support they generate. These stories can help attract policy maker and public attention, as illustrated by a proposal for city government to create a “resources center” for gig economy workers like deliveristas, who bring food to people’s homes.
6. Integrating occupational health with public health benefits workers, their families, and all of society.
Our health is shaped by our education, physical environment, health care, and diets — and our work. The pandemic showed how employment and working conditions of food workers increase their risk of mental health problems, infectious diseases, and injury as well as their ability to balance family and work life. Integrating occupational health with public health and primary health care will enable public health professionals and health care providers to help workers and communities prevent exposures, ensure vigorous enforcement of occupational health laws, and identify and treat work-related health problems before they lead to disability. In the food sector, this will require developing strategies to reduce the specific health risks in each industry of the food workforce, from agricultural workers to food deliverers, and to make explicit how these risks are public health issues that concern all of us.
7. To win improvements in work quality, pay and benefits, food workers need to be able to join unions.
Labor unions protect workers by winning better wages and benefits, promoting workplace health and safety, advocating for other labor laws and social policies, and protecting workers against arbitrary firing or discipline. New laws such as higher minimum wages, those banning wage theft, and mandatory sick pay result from advocacy by worker organizations and require adequate funding and ongoing union pressure for enforcement. By finding new ways to support and facilitate food workers’ growing interest in joining unions, public health professionals and food justice advocates can contribute to improved conditions and better health for low wage food workers. Unions also need to find new ways to engage workers, speak to their identified needs, and develop new metrics to measure their success.
8. Improving the lives of low wage food workers requires increasing their access to the necessities of life beyond work.
By partnering with those working for affordable housing, universal access to health care, and quality education, food justice advocates can contribute to creating a movement that has the power and vision to improve the lives of food workers — and all New Yorkers. At our Institute, we are exploring new roles CUNY can play in helping our students who are also food workers to learn their rights, join unions, and advance their careers. Aligning food policy with other equity-oriented social policies increases its impact.
9. Food and labor are ideas that can bring together individuals and movements across issues and sectors.
Until recently, the food movement failed to make the needs of food workers a priority, while the labor movement did not see food and diet as central political questions. The pandemic has highlighted the potential to link food system change and the need to improve workers’ lives as unifying ideas to build more powerful alliances for promoting health, equity, and justice.
In the coming months, we at the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute invite food justice and labor advocates, public health professionals, and others to join us in translating into practice these ideas to make food workers essential partners and beneficiaries of the food justice movement.

Sage announces the acquisition of a carbon accounting solution spherical, as part of the company’s approach to sustainable development. The solution is marketed primarily to small and medium-sized businesses.
UK-based Spherics software automates the process of calculating emissions by ingesting data from a customer’s accounting software and matching transactions to emission factors to create an initial estimate of their carbon footprint. The software then guides the client to refine this estimate by submitting additional data for a more accurate calculation. It also helps users apply carbon emission factors to supply categories (such as delivery, accommodation, electricity, and travel) to estimate the carbon footprint associated with a transaction. This approach supports clients with spend-based analysis and aligns with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the globally recognized standard for measuring carbon emissions.
“We know that SMEs care about the impact they have on the environment, and our research shows that they want to work with suppliers and partners who can help them understand and deal with it,” said Amaya Souarez, executive vice president of cloud operations at Sage. , in a report. “The acquisition of Spherics represents an important step in our sustainability strategy. By combining Spherics’ innovative software with Sage’s digital network, we are connecting companies to their customers’ and suppliers’ emissions data, enabling climate action. simple and collaborative across value chains, which contributes to reducing carbon.”
Spherics will continue to be available as an off-the-shelf solution that integrates with Sage and other UK accounting software providers.

The Finnish company Oura recently pleasantly surprised us with their third generation of smart ring, the Oura Ring. It is considered one of the best smart rings to date, as it contains advanced electronics and precise sensors despite its limited dimensions. Despite its small size, it is very accurate when measuring, so the user always has accurate data.
Sensors or sensors inside and outside the ring measure body temperature, sleep cycles, resting heart rate, heart rate changes, and more. A brand new sensor was used for the last task. All of the above can be constantly monitored in a dedicated app available for iOS and Android operating systems.
As it turns out, Oura will soon have a decent competition in the field of smart rings. Rumors have surfaced on the internet that a similar smart ring will soon be offered for sale by Oppo. The smart ring is said to be equipped with artificial intelligence elements and to provide excellent connectivity with other Oppo smartphones, such as the Oppo Air Glass smart glasses. More information about the novelty is expected in early 2022.

CEO’s Message — July 2019
A lot has changed since Wells Rural Electric Company (WREC) built its service center in 1977. Among the greatest of those changes is how much electricity is used by the average member.
The following graphs illustrate how your not-for-profit, member- owned electric cooperative has grown to meet your changing needs.
To better serve those needs, your locally-elected Board of Directors broke ground for the new operations center June 18. Construction should begin in just a few weeks. In addition to protecting the inventory and equipment your cooperative uses, the new operations center will enhance our ability to serve you, increase efficiency, improve security and support our commitment to safety.
We appreciate the interest in the project from local contractors who submitted very competitive bids. Not only are our members getting a much-needed facility upgrade, a significant portion of the money invested in this project will stay in the local economy.
We look forward to keeping you informed about the progress of the new operations center through Ruralite, wrec.coop and on Facebook.
Clay R. Fitch
Chief Executive Officer

Guest post by blog team member, Kiran. To learn more about Kiran, check out our team page!
I’ve been seeing commercials recently for Sargento Balanced Breaks, and it got me thinking. First off, I think this is a fairly good alternative for on-the-go snacking. Cheese, nuts, and dried fruit mean you’re getting a decent dose of dairy and protein (8 grams total) which is great for fueling on the go.
And yes, I realize that sometimes life gets in the way – hello kids activities, travel, or the never-ending to-do list, I gotcha. Sometimes purchasing a packaged product is the only option, and it’s great to have some decent alternatives.
But with a little planning ahead, it’s simple to make your own snack packs. It’s quick and easy, but how do the prices compare? I break that down for you too.
What’s in the Product
Let’s start out by taking a look at what’s included in this product (as taken from their site):
Gouda Cheese [Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes, Annatto (Vegetable Color), Natamycin (A Natural Mold Inhibitor)], Dried Fruit and Nut Blend [Peanuts, Cranberries, Sugar, Contains less than 2% of Honey, Maltodextrin, Modified Potato Starch, Salt, Vegetable Oil (Peanut, Cottonseed, Soybean and/or Sunflower Seed), Xanthan Gum].
- A few of these items are ones that I’d note and not be too excited about eating:
- Maltodextrin, which can sometimes be a hidden source of MSG and definitely not something I’d cook with at home
- Modified Potato Starch, usually used as a binder or thickening agent – again not something I’d cook with at home
- Vegetable Oil
- And of course, if you make it yourself, you can make it organic – something that we always suggest when feasible. Here’s a quick reminder why.
How to Make Your Own Snack Packs
With a little simple planning, it’s possible to make your own organic snack packs to have on hand for those times when hunger strikes. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Organic Valley Cheese
- Organic Trail Mix (we found this one from Nuts.com) or make your own trail mix or even just purchase some organic nuts from the bulk bin at your local store.
- A container to take them in such as the Yumbox MiniSnack (use code SWEET15 and take 15% off of your order) or these containers from UKonserve.
Benefits of Making Your Own Snack Packs
- Cost -> Quality
An 8 ounce package of Organic Valley Cheese is $6.99 and the organic trail mix referenced above is $8.99 for 16 ounces, totaling $15.98 for 24 ounces (66 cents/ounce). Ironically enough, Wal-Mart’s 3 pack of 1.5 ounces of the Sargento Balanced Breaks was $2.98, or 66 cents/ounce. So the cost is the same, but the quality in what you make yourself is better. Yes, you need to purchase the containers to pack your own, but that is something that you can get years of use out of.
- Avoidance of unwanted ingredients
I’m a big believer in knowing what I’m eating. Okay, okay – you can call me a control freak, but I like to know what’s going into my food! Guilty as charged and totally comfortable with it.
- Ability to tailor it to your needs/wants.
Perhaps you want more or less cheese or a certain kind of nut mix to go with it. The choice is yours! You can see above that I added a hard-boiled egg to one. Or how about some nut butter filled dates for another pop of protein?
Making your own snack packs can take a little planning ahead, but it’s well worth it in my book. Do you agree?

The Ktunaxa Nation says a new withdrawal management centre in Cranbrook will help address a significant need for regional care.
The Ktunaxa announced Wednesday they have opened the Mary Basil House, a four bed year round, 24 hour adult residential facility.
Clinical Practice and Urban Services Advisor Rachel Nicholas says the facility has been in the works for nearly two years.
“We serve all First Nations people and Metis people, so we do want to give them access to culturally appropriate services,” Nicholas says. “Whether its bringing in elders from their communities, bringing in things like smudging, talking about some of the cultural components of detox.”
Nicholas says the program provides specialized care that’s very limited in the East Kootenay.
“Right now in the East Kootenay, there are only two beds available for medically supervised detox or withdrawal and that’s the Ponderosa House. Outside of that, the only option for people is to go to the Emergency Room at the hospital,” Nicholas says. “So our hope is to allow people to medically detox in a culturally safe, more home like environment.”
Nicholas says they have already had two people come through the service in the two weeks since opening.
She says all beds are currently full and there is a waiting list of people in need of support.

Those and other infectious classics, including "Brown Eyed Handsome Man", "Sweet Little Sixteen", "Back in the USA" and "Maybellene", made him a household name in the 1950s music scene.
Although the cause of death remains unknown, Charles Jr. Even in recent years, with Berry well past retirement age, the fire in his performance still burned bright, clearly showing why his combination of blues, country, R&B and a positive, rebellious attitude was so irresistible both to fans and fellow musicians. If rock "n" roll is the devil's music, the original devil has left us. His smash hit song "Johnny B. Goode" was sent, on golden record, into space on the Voyager I spacecraft in 1977, where it remains. "He was a true pioneer of rock'n'roll & a massive influence", the band wrote in a tweet.
His death was confirmed by police in Missouri.
On Saturday, the music world reeled upon the loss of Chuck Berry, the ingenious writer and guitar hero whose work laid the foundation of rock "n" roll.
So why, if rock was already on the charts, is Chuck Berry most commonly cited as the single most important figure in rock music's creation?
Despite his troubles with the law and the conditions of the times, Berry rose to the top of his profession.
When producing BTO, I'd listen to "A Dozen Berries", "Revolver + Rubber Soul" endlessly to get ideas for grooves, tempos, song format, and other tricks to make guitar-bass-drums sound interesting and build excitement in my songs.

But Berry, however, crafted material where the riff was king.
The rock legend had announced in October, on his 90th birthday that he was releasing a new album.
In a statement, Berry dedicated the album to his wife of 68 years, Themetta Berry, whom he refers to by her nickname, "Toddy".
Just let me hear some of that rock "n" roll music any old way you use it I am playing I'm talking about you.
He wrote he was playing Berry's 1961 song I'm Talking About You, which was recorded by The Beatles at the BBC in 1963. "Now I can hang up my shoes!" he said.
In Clinton's final year in the Oval Office in 2000, the president honored Berry as one of the Kennedy Center honorees.
He rushed for 788 yards and a career-high 12 touchdowns last season despite missing two games with a toe injury. The Dallas Cowboys re-signed one backup running back Darren McFadden to a one-year contract worth $980,000.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader
We waited 2 years for this! :) Ever since we stepped out of the theater after seeing Prince Caspian, we have all waited anxiously for the next movie to be released. This past weekend was the opening weekend. Mitch and I surprised the kids with tickets to a matinee on Saturday. While the movie didn't do as well at the box office this weekend as everyone hoped, we did our part. Mitch and I snuck out on Thursday evening and bought the tickets ahead of time, but in the end it wasn't necessary--our theater wasn't even 1/2 full. :( The kids were SO surprised, though, when we got there. Caleb had been counting down the days, and he somehow lost track. Micah was the only one who really had a good guess of where we were going when Mitch said, "Get your shoes on." I told him to keep his guess to himself. Caleb guessed we were all going to see Kristin's new baby. Sweet, but wrong. Her baby hasn't arrived yet! (But that's another story). We left Tirzah at home with a sitter.
Overall, it was a great movie. Some of us "die hard" fans were a little disappointed with the changes made to the storyline, but I think that we'll get over it after we have a chance to see it again. Plugged-in Online wrote a great review that you can read here if you would like to know what's in it before heading out with your crew. Some of the scenes were scary, but I sat beside Malachi (3 yo) the whole time and he did GREAT.
Quite possibly my favorite quote from the whole movie was at the end. Prince Caspian said to Aslan, Lucy, Edmond, Eustace, and Reepicheep, "I spent my whole life wanting what was taken from me, instead of what was given."
I felt so silly when I had to wipe away tears at the end, but I couldn't help it. It was sad knowing that it was over! I just blamed it on pregnancy hormones. I hope you'll go see it, and I hope they make more movies.

These clothes that poison our children
Does your child have skin problems? And if the clothes he wears were the cause?
When you buy clothing for your child and you are interested in the label, you will notice that the information provided is often limited to the composition of the fabric and the washing conditions of it. Indeed, these are the only mandatory indications on clothing labels!
But what about its provenance and additions of chemicals to make it more flexible, resistant, wrinkle-free, ...?
When children's clothing is tested, there are many chemicals that are toxic to the body and the environment. Although concentrations may not be high, their multiplicity, prolonged contact with the skin or the cumulative effect of these products may still have an impact on health. Not to mention that these toxic substances are found most often in the environment.
1. Nonyphenol ethoxylates or nonylphenols (NPE)
NPEs are generally present in industrial detergents and are used for washing textiles. They are toxic, bioaccumulative and persistent.
They are endocrine disruptors. They accumulate in body tissues and affect fertility, reproduction and growth.
Often called plasticizers, they are generally used in the textile for plastisol prints, the rubbery material used to create designs or logos on T-shirts. Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors, they can affect hormone levels. Studies have shown that they are responsible for early puberty in girls 6 to 8 years old and that prolonged exposure during pregnancy entails a tripled risk of congenital malformation in babies.
In 2012, the NGO Greenpeace found in some children's clothing rates 370 times higher than the authorized limits.
3. Perfluorinated polyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs)
PFCs are used to make waterproof textiles; they are also used to increase wrinkle and waterproof qualities. PFCs are endocrine disruptors that interfere with the development of the thyroid gland and with estrogen. On exposure in utero, they lead to delayed growth, development, changes in behavior, abnormal development of the mammary glands and a decrease in testosterone in males.
Formaldehyde is used to give the textile its crease-resistant quality. Formaldehyde has been classified by the National Cancer Research Center (IARC) in group 1 "Carcinogenic substance proven to be human". This volatile and unhealthy gas easily comes into contact with the eyes, nose or throat and causes eye and respiratory irritation. Even low exposures can develop asthmatic pathologies and allergic sensitizations. The biggest danger of formaldehyde remains dermatitis allergy following contact (inflammation of the skin) or eczema.
5. The lead
Lead-based pigments are used for dyeing textiles (especially in bright colors). Lead exposure is often minimized because there are no visible symptoms. Lead poisoning can affect all body systems, including mental and physical development.
6. The dyes
Dyes found in clothing can cause allergic skin reactions (contact dermatitis), damage to the liver and kidneys. Azo dyes are the most dangerous.
During the production of clothing but also during repeated washing, all the chemical compounds contained in textiles are found in wastewater. Unfortunately, our treatment plants rarely manage to eliminate them. They are found in the environment and aquatic environments. Do you want to protect the nature and skin of your children? Organic clothing is the answer!

First published in 1912, French's Index of Differential Diagnosis helps clinicians in the differential diagnosis of any condition which may be seen in hospital or general practice. Arranged alphabetically by symptom, the text helps readers identify each presentation, describes the different diagnoses that it could represent, and explains the tests used to make a diagnosis. Colour clinical photographs help with diagnoses at a glance.
The book is completely revised - many sections are largely rewritten, new ones added, diagnostic methods updated, many old illustrations replaced and others inserted. The emphasis, however, remains the same: the importance of a careful history, detailed clinical examination and the judicious use of laboratory and imaging investigations in the elucidation of the correct diagnosis. This reference is indispensable to medical students as well as trainee and established doctors in both general and hospital practice.

Ann Miles' healing journey through musicby Mona Prufer
Coastal Carolina University staff accompanist Ann Miles is getting the best Christmas present this year – a long-awaited CD that she recorded of all her favorite holiday arrangements.
“It’s so incredible to have this dream of 25 years come true after you’ve thought about it for that long, then finally decided to do it, then been sidetracked with a horrible accident, then have it actually happen for you,” says Miles, who confessed to bawling like a baby when she picked up a box of the Christmas CDs at the UPS warehouse in October.
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” is now available for sale, featuring 17 songs from “Jingle Bell Rag” to “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”
Miles will perform music from the CD as well as non-Christmas music at a free concert at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 16 in Edwards Recital Hall.
Two years ago, while traveling home from a conference, Miles fell asleep at the wheel and plowed into pine trees in the median on I-20 near Columbia. She had her cruise control set at 79 miles per hour, she believes. The car was totaled.
“It is a miracle that I am still alive,” says Miles, who has had a long, painful journey of recovery filled with occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, multiple surgeries and learning to walk again. Her 77-year-old mother, who was accompanying her to the conference, was taken by helicopter to the hospital that night. She was not significantly injured, but died of a stroke two months later.
Miles suffered a broken jaw, collapsed lung, six broken ribs, two fractured vertebrae, a broken left leg and severely dislocated right ankle. She was in the hospital trauma unit for 10 days, followed by two months of painful rehabilitation. It has been a long road back to being able to walk, teach, drive and play the piano again, but her message through it all is one of faith.
While at Health South in Florence (she called it “Hell South”), she was given “boring little tasks” for her physical therapy, like moving beads on an abacus from one side to the other. But when she spotted a piano, playing music became her new therapy. “It helped me, of course, and it lifted the spirits of others who were there.”
“You have to keep fighting,” says Miles, who has been CCU’s staff accompanist since 2002. “God continues to bless me as I give more and more over to Him. I’ve learned not to sweat the small stuff.”
Miles got her first piano, a wooden toy, when she was a year and a half old. At 4, she progressed to an old upright player piano where she would pick out nursery rhymes like “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” Now she plays by ear, sight reads and plays pieces by heart, especially her favorite Christmas carols.
When she auditioned for the accompanist job eight years ago, she was given several difficult classical pieces to sight read and play. “Philip Powell was turning the pages for me, and David Bankson kept handing him harder and harder pieces,” she says. “I thought I was not going to get that job.”
Before joining the CCU faculty, Miles was founder and director of Young Singers of Darlington, an auditioned group of 4th- through 8th-grade students from the area. Under her direction, the chorus played around the state of South Carolina and even at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
Now she’s founded the Coastal Children’s Choir, a choral group for the unchanged voice, which had 26 members last fall and performed countywide. Local auditions were held recently for the mixed choir of boys and girls, and her goals are high for the group.
“To be a member of this type of choir means you can be exposed to music on a whole new level,” says Miles. “Singers learn to mark their music for breaths, proper pronunciation, etc., and also learn to read it! They learn music skills that pianists and high school chorus students learn; they even learn music theory that freshman music majors study.”
Miles earned a bachelor of music degree in church music from Appalachian State University. She is organist for First Baptist Church of Conway and has accompanied concert performances throughout the United States and in Brno, Ostrava, while touring the Czech Republic in 2004.
She now makes herself available for inspirational talks to community groups to spread her newfound message. “My message is one of hope to those who hear my music, and my story is that God will make a way, and He will see you through whatever He brings you to!”

New protein found could prevent Alzheimer disease
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia that affects most frequently people over 65. The most common sign of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, but there can also appear confusion, changes in personality, irritability, urinary incontinence. In advanced stages people with advanced Alzheimer’s can no longer take care of themselves and need special care.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, which means that once started it cannot be stopped; treatments that exist at present for Alzheimer’s disease are aimed to improve symptoms. Researchers are struggling to find a way to diagnose the disease earlier or rather to prevent the onset of it.
Memory loss occurs due to destruction of neurons which is caused by incorrect folding of proteins in the brain. Now researchers at RIKEN Bioengineering Laboratory in collaboration with the scientists from the Laboratory for Proteolytic Neuroscience at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, found that the human protein prefoldin can change how these protein aggregates form. They believe this will reduce the harmful effect of these aggregates in the brain.
Regarding the causes of Alzheimer’s disease, one of the hypotheses is that of beta-amyloid. The formation of insoluble aggregates of beta-amyloid is considered one of the key mechanisms responsible for the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. It is known that these aggregates are toxic to neurons, so researchers are trying to discover a way to prevent the formation of these. Prefoldin is a molecular chaperone that prevents the wrong packaging of proteins and to help those wrongly packaged to return to normal form. Researchers observed that incubation of beta-amyloid molecules with a small amount of prefoldin can change their behavior: instead of forming insoluble aggregates, prefoldin enabled the formation of soluble beta-amiloid oligomers. Although some researchers believe that amyloid beta oligomers are toxic to neurons, the study shows that certain types of these oligomers are less toxic to neurons.
What researchers noticed was that, like in the brain, beta-amyloid led to the destruction of neurons. Furthermore, experiments on laboratory animals showed that the oligomers formed in the presence of human prefoldin reduced the loss of neurons. Another interesting finding was that prefoldin expression increases with the levels of beta-amyloid, which indicates that there is a mechanism by which the brain is protected by high levels of beta-amyloid. “Our findings may also apply to various other neurological diseases caused by protein misfolding, such as prion disease, Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease,” researchers said.

Booked The Cottage Beyond for my friends Hen Weekend. From the start Christine and Alan were so helpful, nothing was too much for them to do. There were 13 of us that stayed. The house was amazing, super clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. Not a single fault. My friend had the most relaxing, fun hen weekend and we are very grateful for all your efforts in making it so special for her. We ordered food from Asda which was delivered and kindly put away by Christine and Alan. We will definitely be returning x thanks again.
My husband very generously booked this for me and our immediate family for my 50th Birthday in February half term, so there were 13 of us altogether ages from 10 - to 85 years. The Cottage was extremely comfortable and well equipped for this number of people and everything was really well thought out. The rooms were lovely and clean along with the linen and towels, and the kitchen was brilliant for cooking and clearing up after meals for a large number. There are some lovely walks on the farmland - we went up to the woods in the snow one morning and it was beautiful. We didn't need to venture out as we had the amazing Spa which was fantastic to get us all together and it did - it was a magical week with family I hope we can do it again sometime soon - Tips - most supermarkets will deliver, we had Sainsbury's, and one of the Indian's in Wellington delivered and it wasn't bad at all we had it twice to save cooking! I would definitely recommend if you want a family get together it was perfect - thank you so much!
We spent 4 nights here with our two daughters, their husbands and our two young grandchildren. From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome. The house was spotless and very well equipped. The spa hall with its pool, hot tub and sauna was brilliant and we spent a lot of time here. The grandchildren loved it. There are lots of walks around the farm and surrounding areas and if you are lucky the owners two dogs, Pepsi and Elbie will tag along also and be your unofficial guides. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it 100%.
A great house set in beautiful gardens with glorious views. The house has terrific open space to enable the family (13 of us, ages 4 to 70 including 5 small boys) to interact and enjoy each other plus quiet areas if required. I don't remember any quiet! Also a brilliant central kitchen for sociable cooking of vast meals! We made full use of the lovely well equipped pool and hot tub with games of water volleyball and woggle battles, of the games room, feeding the pigs, collecting eggs from the hens. Stick throwing for Pepsi and Elbie provided hours of fun, plus the bird table and lovely walks .. and chipping ice off the roundabout on the first frosty morning. Our only sadness is that we didn't have longer as there remained a long list of To Dos, Christine and Alan make brilliant suggestions and are perfect hosts.
we had a fantastic weekend the cottage is amazing and has every thing you need for the perfect break - the swimming pool was great the kids loved it - beautiful surroundings plenty to do amazing weekend cant wait to return again!!
The Cottage Beyond is a perfect place to get off the world, relax and enjoy. 7 friends meeting up to celebrate 3 ladies significant birthdays. Enjoyed walks across the fields and woods with Pepsi and Elba the owners dogs. Great fun feeding Apple, Blackberry and the other pigs with food scraps each day. The chickens provided our eggs for breakfast - part of the welcome pack also a yummy chocolate cake.
The indoor pool, jacuzzi and sauna provided relaxation and time to rejuvenate.
The cottage is well equipped with everything you need and more. We booked a local chef to cook one evening (Gayla Stewart) recommended by The Cottage she is excellent, delicious food. Also, pampering afternoon recommended (Sue Hartman).
Christine and Alan (owners) are delightful and extremely welcoming, very attentive when required, without being obtrusive.
Planning to visit again.
We have just returned from a wonderful family week at this delightful home. The lovely cottage layout has been well thought out, with special touches everywhere! It is clean and very well equipped - having everything you would need for a stress free stay. Within the garden there is a beautiful swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, outdoor games and entertainment for all ages. Wonderful surroundings with lovely country walks, forest adventures, pigs and hens. Perfect for our grandchildren too! Thank you so much - we hope to be back one day.

A new study has found that there can never be a supermind concept due to the limit imposed on the level of smartness of humans. The study highlights that the limit imposed on mind acts as a defence against the destructive power of memories on the personality. The brain enhancers used can only help in concentrating for a brief time and then cease to work.

hurricane and high winds
How do hurricanes form? Hurricanes are the worst Experience to do because lots of people could get hurt in a Hurricane wind could go up to 200mph and it’s the dangerous Experience in the world. Hurricanes occur in the late summer and fall. The winds in a hurricane go fast because they destroy lots of houses. In a hurricane there is so much wind and floods in a hurricane. Hurricanes wind speed is high because it blows so much stuff in a hurricane.
The two ingredients for a hurricane is warmth and moisture. The rain in a hurricane is heavy because it rains and stop then it starts to rain again in a hurricane. A hurricane kills lots of people in lots of cites because sometimes people don’t serve in a hurricane. In a hurricane it can damge houses and also, building in a hurricane because the wind it is so strong that how it could damge lots of places in the world . And floods could also, damge peoples houses in a hurricane because it can kill lots of people or destroy in cites.
In a hurricane hunter people study about hurricane and How they form in the sea . And also, how they name hurricanes in the world .and also, they study how hurricanes form in the sea . And why does the hurricane kill lots of people every year. Also, why does it rain so much in a hurricane happen in the sea or on land.In a hurricane there is so much of winds and floods in a hurricane .
why is the wind so strong in a hurricane ? Hurricane are dangerous because they kill so much people every year and sometimes people might not serve in a hurricane. The hurricane could destroy and buildings, cites and its rains a lot in a hurricane.

Dry Tattooing for Stretch Marks and Scars
Dry tattooing is an effective solution for reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks by stimulating collagen production. Learn more about the treatment below!
Most scar and stretch mark camouflage treatments are focused on blending the scar with the surrounding skin with cosmetic or tattoo pigments.
They are effective in reducing the visibility of scars and stretch marks for a prolonged period of time, but they don’t treat scar tissue from within, so the texture remains the same.
Dry tattooing is a way to treat scars and stretch marks from within, and this is achieved by stimulating collagen production in the skin. The result causes the discolored scar tissue to gain a more natural firmness and tone.
Read this guide to find out what is dry tattooing and what are the benefits of this treatment for scar and stretch mark revision.
Table of contents - Skip to a specific paragraph
What Is Dry Tattooing?
Dry tattooing is a technique used by permanent makeup artists as a form of skin rejuvenation, re-pigmentation, and scar remodeling. It is also known as MCA dry needling and inkless stretch mark camouflage.
This treatment is used to gently pierce the skin with tattoo needles creating micro punctures in the scar tissue, which then act as channels through which healing serums can reach skin cells and regenerate them.
It is also beneficial in stimulating blood flow and allowing re-healing to happen, as collagen, melanin, and elastin are actively forming within the scar tissue.
It is important to note that dry tattooing won’t completely remove the scarred area, but it can significantly improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and burns.
It may also be used in combination with other scar camouflage treatments, such as Brazilian stretch mark camouflage.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
For the body to repair stretch marks and scars, it usually needs several sessions to restore the collagen and elastin sufficiently.
In most cases, 3-4 sessions are done as a series, with 4-6 weeks between them, and the results are revised after a few months. If needed, further treatments are done.
How fast you’ll see an improvement is very individual, and depends on the state of the damaged skin, and how your body reacts to the treatment.
It’s important to note that, unlike pigment/ink implementation which gives immediate results, with dry tattooing stretch marks and scars it can take several weeks before there’s any improvement. The natural processes triggered take time.
Does Dry Tattooing Hurt?
In most cases, dry needling scar tissue is considered generally less painful than regular tattooing, as scar tissue usually has no nerves and numbing creams are used during the procedure.
However, there are also cases where scar tissue is actually more sensitive than undamaged skin. If that’s the case, perhaps it needs some more time before it can be worked on.

Is Dry Tattooing the Same as Microneedling?
No. Although similar to microneedling, dry tattooing is a more specialized technique developed for the sole purpose of treating scarring and stretch marks.
Dry tattooing uses very thin tattoo needles focused only on targeting the scarred area of the skin. Compared to microneedling, which covers larger areas with multi-needle cartridges, dry tattooing is a more precise treatment.
Microneedling is usually followed up with regenerative serums on the surface of the skin after creating micro punctures, while with dry needling scar tissue repair serums are injected into deeper layers of the skin simultaneously.
What Are the Benefits of Dry Tattooing?
Although the results don’t happen overnight, the dry tattooing process has several prominent benefits:
- It improves the appearance and texture of scar tissue, stretch marks, and burns.
- It can slightly flatten and smooth raised and bumpy scars.
- Loose or sunken scars and stretch marks are filled up and firmer.
- Discolored scars regain their natural skin tone as a result of melanin production.
- Tight scars and burns can become more relaxed and supple.
Which Types of Scars Can Be Treated with Dry Tattooing?
Most scars can be treated as long as your body has finished healing naturally. Dry tattooing can be beneficial in treating different types of healed scars:
- Scarring after breast augmentation or breast reduction surgery.
- Scarring as a result of mastectomy, nipple and areola reconstruction.
- White, completely healed scars of various origins.
- White or discolored stretch marks.
- Burn scars.

Who Is a Candidate for Dry Tattooing?
Before booking your appointment, it is essential that your scar or stretch marks are at least 9 to 12 months old.
Only scars and stretch marks that are completely healed and no longer pink or changing color are suitable for dry tattooing. Working on scar tissue that hasn’t completely healed can cause further damage to the skin.
Dry tattooing cannot disguise or correct extreme changes in skin texture, so if your scar area is bumpy or raised, the process may not be as effective for you, although some improvement can be achieved.
If your scar has dark edges or borders, that can be an indication of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (PIHP) from the initial trauma or surgery.
Dry tattooing can possibly increase the hyper-pigmentation around the scarred area and create a wider, darker border.
If you are prone to keloid scarring, this treatment is not the best option as it can cause new scars to emerge.
Who Shouldn’t Get Dry Tattooing?
Dry tattooing is not recommended for people with the following skin conditions:
- Port wine birthmarks
- Keloid scarring
- Spider veins
- Unstable vitiligo (not in remission)
What Is Aftercare Like for Dry Tattooing?
Dry needling scar tissue requires proper aftercare in order to get the best and fastest healing results. Let’s take a look at what to avoid after your dry tattoo treatment:
- Avoid showering or getting the treated area wet in the first 24 hours after treatment.
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for at least 10-14 days after the initial treatment.
- Avoid excessive sweating for at least 10-14 days after the initial treatment.
- Don’t scratch or pick at scabs as the treated area starts to heal.
- Don’t apply any skincare products to the treated area for 14 days, other than the aftercare balm prescribed by your technician.

How Much Does Dry Tattooing Cost?
It is very difficult to determine an average price of dry tattooing, as most technicians only give a quote upon consultations.
But if we have to give a ballpoint figure, you can expect to pay about $1000 or more for a series of dry tattooing sessions.
Some technicians charge per session, while others give a bulk price for a series of treatments.
Since the number of treatments you’ll need is individual, the total price will vary.
Dry Tattooing – Main Takeaways
Dry needling is a great option for those looking to improve the texture and appearance of their scars or stretch marks naturally.
By stimulating the natural production of collagen and melanin in the skin, scar tissue gets flattened and re-pigmented, which makes it less visible.
If your scars or stretch marks are light in color and at least 9 to 12 months old, you are a good candidate for the treatment, but keep in mind that in order to achieve the best-looking results, you will need at least a few sessions.

Danisco: lower feed costs with enzyme technology
Layer producers looking for lower feed costs with higher fibre feed ingredients can use the latest developments in enzyme technology reported Dr Yingjun Ru at the VIV Asia Eggs conference, Thailand, Bangkok, 12 March 2009.
Using a carefully selected balance of xylanase, amylase, protease and phytase can reduce corn-based layer feed costs by more than $7.50/tonne. The supply of more fibrous feed ingredients into the feed industry has increased with the growth of the bioethanol industry and increased demand for cereal grains into the food industry. Whilst these high-fibre ingredients are potentially a cost effective alternative, their use in layer feed can be limited by the low and often variable digestibility of nutrients.
Dr Ru (pictured), Regional Technical Services Manager, Danisco Animal Nutrition, presented a paper “Recent Advances in Enzyme Technology for More Profitable Egg Production” which outlined how the latest developments in enzyme technology can increase the use of high fibre ingredients into the feed formulation to achieve lower feed costs without depressing laying hen performance.
The paper summarised trials conducted in the Philippines and Australia where adding a combination of xylanase, amylase and protease enzymes (Avizyme® 1500, Danisco Animal Nutrition) allowed the nutrient specification of a corn-soy based diet to be reduced by 5% for energy, protein and amino acids without depressing laying hen performance. In both trials, performance of layers fed medium specification (2610 kcal/kg or 2650 kcal/kg) corn-based diets containing higher levels of fibrous ingredients (wheat pollard or rice bran and copra meal) and supplemented with the enzyme combination were comparable to laying hens fed higher specification (2750 kcal/kg or 2775 kcal/kg) corn-based diets.
Adding new generation E. coli phytases (Phyzyme® XP, Danisco Animal Nutrition) provides egg producers with the opportunity to further reduce feed costs. A trial conducted at the Bangkok Animal Research Centre, Thailand supported using phytase to reduce the specification of the feed formulation for energy and amino acids as well as for calcium and phosphorus. Dr Ru concluded that the key to more profitable egg production lies in combining and optimising enzyme activities according to the feed ingredients used in the formulation.

Monday morning and the world is rolling along. The Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi got hit in the face over the weekend with a thrown statue. It seems that initially people thought he had been punched and I know there have been incidences of people being hit in the face with pies in Europe but I think this is the first time anyone has been statued.
I am not poking fun by any means at this because the Prime Minister broke his nose and was pretty shaken up by the attack. But it makes we wonder if I had ever been so upset to strike out at a political leader. I have been in a few fist fights over the years. I do not think I have had more fights then what is normal for boys growing up. So I can understand getting upset and squaring off against someone but this seems to be completely different then that. The obvious difference that the PM and the statue thrower did not square off and raise fists in the approved Louis L'amour style. Also the statue thrower was mentally ill so it is probably wrong of me to try to find a rational reason for the attack. But that does raise an interesting point. If someone strikes out at a leader are they by definition mentally ill? If you opinion is that they are then how do you account for differing political rebels over the years who have struck back against standing governments?
I know for a fact that in the case of the American revolution they built basically a legal case against the King of England that would allow them to begin the fight. So I would think it would be hard to make a case calling them mentally ill. Though I am sure there were people who did not believe in the cause and would have argued passionately that they were insane to even attempt such a thing. I sometimes wonder how upset I would have to be to take up arms against the big G Government. I know there are people very upset right now about the Obama administration just like there were people on the other side very upset about the Bush administration. There are also people very upset about the nature of Government in America and feel that the two parties are just different sides of the same coin.
I wonder what that would do to the world or America in general if there were to be another revolution in this country. I think that one of our strengths in America is that we have an election every four years and that helps us to not build to so much anger and frustration that violence is the result. It is going to be interesting to see what happens in the future as we move forward politically.

The structure of the nose
from the extrusion of plastic parts, although have established shape, the temperature is higher, but because of the product due to gravity deformation will happen, so you need to use the sizing device will be the shape of the parts for cooling to finalize the design, which can meet the requirements of the correct size, geometric shape and surface quality. Usually adopt the method of cooling, pressure or vacuum, the extrusion of plastic pieces from the nose shape set temperature, and finishing, to get more accurate cross section size, surface more bright plastic parts.
for head does not need to tap device, melt through the nose after intermediate port, its width must be increased, need an extension area, in order to reduce or plastics melt density does not, therefore, in the compression of the nose should be set in a certain area, produces a certain resistance to flow, packaging plastic melt or a compact organization. To consider plastic parts from mould expansion effect and the effect of shrinkage, can ensure the cross section shape of the plastic.
as many specifications of plastic parts, therefore the nose is also used in the production of a variety of. According to the plastic pieces from the nose of the extrusion in a different direction, can be divided into straight through the nose and Angle of the nose, etc. In through the nose, the melt in the nose of the extrusion flow parallel to the axis of the extruder screw. In the Angle of the nose, melt in the nose of the extruder screw axis Angle, when the melt extrusion flow with the screw axis vertical, called a crosshead.
according to the size of the pressure on the plastic melt in the nose, divided into low pressure head and high pressure head. Low pressure head is melt pressure is less than 4 mpa the nose. High pressure head namely melt pressure is greater than 10 mpa. According to the need to molding plastic parts structure characteristics and process requirements, the right to choose the structure of the nose. Melt in the cylinder by the action of the screw rotation, through the nose, the melt spinning movement must be transformed into linear motion for molding flow, at the same time, it must be appropriate on the melt flow resistance, make the screw on the melt pressure appropriately.
head body is equal to the die set, used to assemble and bearing parts of the nose, and connected with extruder cylinder. In order to ensure that the plastic melt in the nose to the normal flow and quality of extrusion molding, general equipped with temperature control system on the nose. Adjustment screw is used to adjust control molding in the mouth and the clearance between the mandrel and alignment, to ensure the extrusion molding processing parts uniform wall thickness, usually the number of the adjusting screw for 4 - Eight.
set filter plate and filter in the nose, can will melt the rotation movement into linear motion, at the same time increase the melt flow resistance. In order to reduce the pressure loss, make the flow of the melt along the flow channel is steady, the nose of the inner surface must be smooth, sleek, cannot have the part of the stop band, the surface roughness should be less than 0. 1. In order to make the molten material into the machine head further plasticizing, inside the nose are generally set up shunt and shunt stent shunt device, make the melt into the mold mouth before must through the shunt device in the nose.

Colorado Announces Record Visits
SAM Magazine--Copper Mountain, Colo., June 14, 2007--Colorado Ski Country USA announced that the state set a new visit record during the 2006-07 season with 12.56 million skier visits. It's the second year in a row that Colorado's 26 ski and snowboard resorts have set visitation records, although this past season's 12.56 million visits bested last year's by only 30,000 visits. Overall, Colorado accounted for nearly 23 percent of nationwide visits.
Breaking it down even more, the Aspen Skiing Company also announced its visits. The company reported that the skier visits remained identical to the 2005 - 2006 season. The final tally for 2006 - 2007 was 1, 444,647 for the season.
Skier/snowboarder visits to the four mountains of Aspen/Snowmass were as follows:
Â Snowmass: 769,570
Â Aspen Mountain: 327,750
Â Aspen Highlands: 193,496
Â Buttermilk: 153,831
Looking at the bigger picture again, once again Colorado hosted the most skier visits in the U.S. California hosted the second most and Utah the third. Vermont, which was overtaken by Utah last year, remains in fourth place this year. \
