Patellofemoral injuries and conditions like “runner’s knee” and dislocations can affect anyone and cause debilitating pain or instability of the kneecap (patella) without proper treatment.
The physicians at the Patellofemoral Center at HSS specialize in the management of kneecap pain and deterioration, as well as the surgical interventions that can help you heal and regain mobility. Using the latest technology and increasingly less invasive methods, our specialists offer their many years of experience diagnosing and treating patients to provide optimal care for your specific needs.
Learn about the various conditions and treatments that affect the patellofemoral joint.
Patellofemoral disorders, also known as kneecap disorders, refer to pain and instability issues arising from a variety of sources in the patellofemoral joint. Some common examples include anterior knee pain, osteoarthritis and recurrent dislocations or subluxations. These disorders are multifactorial in etiology and can greatly inhibit patients from maintaining their active lifestyles. Furthermore, these conditions affect patients of a wide range of ages and activity, although this population is predominantly female. Patients, physicians and physical therapists find the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions extremely challenging. Currently, patients with anterior knee pain, instability and arthritis have great difficulty understanding their problem and finding the correct clinician to treat their pathology. Many orthopaedic caregivers see these conditions frequently in their offices, though treatment is extremely variable.
Our group addresses the current lack of formalized research into patellofemoral disorders, treatments and outcomes. Our Patellofemoral Center focuses on clinical outcome studies in order to evaluate current surgical techniques as well as develop new ones and improve patient outcomes. The Center has taken a comprehensive approach to investigating patient outcomes in a variety of patellofemoral disorders and treatment procedures. By utilizing a combination of prospective, retrospective, and biomechanical projects our group assesses the efficacy of current procedures and improves upon them to develop even better treatment options. The Patellofemoral Center is also focused on conducting collaborative research efforts with other institutions in the form of multi-center studies in order to maximize the quality and power of the patellofemoral patient data available. The comprehensive research efforts of the Patellofemoral Center play a critical role in improving the quality of life of the many patients suffering from knee pain and instability.
The specific areas of investigation include:

There are many exotic devices used in the Star Wars universe, from lightsabers to bowcasters, gonk droids to speeder bikes. But of all the tactical equipment from a galaxy far, far away, there might not be another as cool as Star Wars' Darksaber.
Despite the unprecedented availability of Star Wars content - in Disney's Galaxy's Edge theme park, the popular video game Jedi: Fallen Order, and the climactic conclusion to the Skywalker saga, Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker - it is the Disney+ show The Mandalorian that is truly causing a stir with the fan base. Seeing Pre Vizsla's Darksaber in a live-action Star Wars project is a major coup for viewers of both The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, and its appearance in the new Disney+ series may foreshadow some fan-favorite characters making the jump from animation to live-action in Season 2.
While the reveal of the Darksaber isn't the only fan-teasing glimpse from Lucasfilm and Jon Favreau in The Mandalorian, it does tie into the history of Mandalore in a major way. So, without any more preamble, let's jump to lightspeed and break down just what the Darksaber is and why it is important to the future of The Mandalorian.
The Idea For The Darksaber Came Straight From George Lucas

NEW YORK — She arrived wearing overalls. Notables who speak at American Bar Association forums are not known for wearing overalls. But Andrea Dworkin figures that if people don`t like how she looks . . . well, that`s tough.
The audience, on this recent spring evening, was split between friends and foes, but she`s used to that. Cries of ``fascist`` might reverberate through the lecture hall, but she`s used to that, too. And she wasn`t about to curb her act just because this was the ABA building, where wing-tip shoes tread on marble floors, where the walls are festooned with oil portraits of deceased legal luminaries--all male, as Dworkin quickly noticed.
Her knees were shaking, as usual, because she has never conquered the terror of baring her soul in public, but she was determined to show why pornography is the scourge of all women, and if some people don`t like the way she does it, the way she taps her roiling reservoir of rage . . . well, that`s tough, too. Because there are worse injustices:
``I wanna tell ya,`` she said on the stump, hammering an imaginary nail with her clenched fist, pounding home the point with well-timed, bellicose outbursts, ``about the pornography being sold in this country right now. There are millions upon millions upon millions of pictures of women with their legs splayed, in postures of submission, of access--an eternal and impersonal willingness and invitation to be penetrated. It`s about rape, it`s about pain, it`s about humiliation!``
``And what we`re saying is, that`s enough. THAT`S ENOUGH!
``What we have is a deep understanding of how pornography impacts women`s civil status. Pornography sexualizes inequality, so that inequality becomes necessary to people. That`s why pornography is a civil rights issue for women --something that is real! It creates hostility, and hostility is real!``
``Pornography is a civil rights issue.`` That novel slogan knits the brows of skeptics everywhere, because Andrea Dworkin is leading an
iconoclastic crusade that has split feminists and alarmed civil libertarians who believe that censorship is inherently evil, no matter who wields the scissors.
``What we are going to do,`` she declared, ``is change social policy, to repudiate this calculation of what we as women can be sold for in the marketplace, and to recognize the worth of women as human beings with human rights. I promise you we are going to do it.``
And that is exactly what her adversaries fear most.
Before December, 1983, few Americans knew much about Andrea Dworkin, even though she had been writing about pornography for a decade. But a new movement was born that month when Minneapolis lawmakers passed a precedent-setting ordinance defining pornography as ``the sexually explicit subordination of women, graphically depicted,`` and permitting women to sue its purveyors for sex discrimination--a departure from the traditional use of obscenity laws, which are rarely enforced these days, in part because juries have problems defining what is obscene.
Dworkin authored the new approach along with Catherine MacKinnon, a law professor and feminist, and although the Minneapolis mayor vetoed the measure, another version of it soon surfaced in Indianapolis (where it is now tied up in court), and another is nearing a vote in Los Angeles County. As Dworkin says, ``I`ve found a way, politically, to use almost everything I`ve been learning.``
The lessons began early, in Cherry Hill, N.J., where she was raised by parents who were attuned to the underdog, where she clashed with teachers who, she recalls, believed that she was reading too much Voltaire.
She was drawn toward the law, but she says that in 1964, at the time of her high school graduation, law schools were run by ``a whole lot of people who didn`t think women should be there. The fact that I was smart didn`t matter. The fact that I had ambition didn`t matter. So I could always become a writer, because you could just sit in your room and do it, and nobody has to know about it.``
She joined the embryonic anti-Vietnam War movement, and she spent the late `60s living overseas. While in Amsterdam, she married a political radical, who beat her repeatedly. ``I know pornography is used against women,`` she says now, because her husband used it against her.
``I had grown up in a family where I was treated with respect,`` she says, ``and when I went into the real world, I had expected to be treated as an individual, not as some generic `thing.` ``
After her marriage broke up, she began seeing pornography ``for the first time in terms of what it did to women.`` She broached the subject in ``Woman Hating,`` her first book, published in 1974, two years after her return to the United States. She joined the first feminist pickets who flocked to Times Square, and she wrote ``Pornography: Men Possessing Women,`` which feminist critic Ellen Willis described as ``a book-length sermon`` that falls
``somewhere between poetry and rant.``

New Mix: Feist, Beth Ditto, Frankie Cosmos, Rostam, More
Bob Boilen and I rarely know what each other is going to play before we record the show. This week, Bob didn't even know what he himself was doing because he was too busy to plan ahead. Somehow he managed to scrounge up some gems from former Vampire Weekend multi-instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij, and another one from the Sufjan Stevens, Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner and James McAlister project known as Planetarium. In between, I share a cut from the stunning new Feist album, her first in six years.
All that, plus a thumping new jam from former Gossip powerhouse Beth Ditto and a transporting electronic instrumental from the duo known as You'll Never Get To Heaven. -- Robin Hilton

Beef tartare is a meat dish made from finely chopped or minced raw beef or horsemeat. It is often served with onions, capers and seasonings (the latter typically incorporating fresh ground pepper and Worcestershire sauce), sometimes with a raw egg yolk, and often on rye bread.
The name is a shortening of the original “à la tartare” or “served with tartar sauce,” a dish popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The modern version of steak tartare with raw egg was first served in French restaurants early in the 20th century. What is now generally known as “steak tartare” was then called steack à l’Americaine. Steak tartare was a variation on that dish; the 1921 edition of Escoffier’s Le Guide Culinaire defines it as steack à l’Americaine made without egg yolk, served with tartar sauce on the side.
Over time, the distinction between steack à l’Americaine and its variant disappeared. The 1938 edition of Larousse Gastronomique describes steak tartare as raw ground beef served with a raw egg yolk, without any mention of tartar sauce.
Although the word ‘tartare’ presumably refers to the Tatar people of Central Asia, and there are many stories connecting steak tartare with them, steak tartare is not related to Tatar cuisine.The name ‘tartare’ is now sometimes applied to other meats or fish, such as tuna tartare, introduced in 1975 by the restaurant Le Duc in Paris.

The director also believes this story, a big-budget re-telling of the Noah's Ark story, is his shot at helming a large-scale, massive production.
We also reported last week that Christian Bale is being eyed to play the title character, although the director did not respond to that story.
Noah will be made on an estimated $130 million budget, although no studios have signed on yet to finance. Our report from a few weeks ago indicated that New Regency, Paramount, Fox, and Summit are all circling the project.
Noah was released March 28th, 2014 and stars Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth, Nick Nolte. The film is directed by Darren Aronofsky.

SACRAMENTO (CBSLA.com/AP) — California may prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities, creating a border-to-border sanctuary in the nation's largest state as legislative Democrats ramp up their efforts to battle President Donald Trump's immigration policies.
The legislation is scheduled for its first public hearing Tuesday as the Senate rushes to enact measures that Democratic lawmakers say would protect immigrants from the crackdown that the Republican president has promised.
While many of California's largest cities — including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento — have so-called sanctuary policies that prohibit police from cooperating with immigration authorities, much of the state does not.
The Democratic legislation, written by Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles, comes up for debate less than a week after Trump signed an order threatening to withdraw some federal grants from jurisdictions that bar officials from communicating with federal authorities about someone's immigration status.
The Senate Public Safety Committee considers SB54 Tuesday morning. The Judiciary Committee will also consider fast-tracked legislation that would spend state money, in an amount that has not been disclosed, to provide lawyers for people facing deportation.
Some Republicans have criticized the Democratic reaction to Trump's policies, saying bombastic rhetoric and provocative legislation will inflame tensions with the president and harm California.
The debate over sanctuary cities reached a fevered pitch in 2015 after Kate Steinle, 32, was fatally shot in the back Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who was in the country illegally after multiple deportations to his native Mexico. Lopez-Sanchez, who told police the gun fired by accident, had been released from a San Francisco jail despite a request from federal immigration authorities that he be held in custody for possible deportation. Trump often cited the Steinle case during the campaign.
Many other cities and counties in California also refuse to detain immigrants for deportation agents out of legal concerns after a federal court ruled that immigrants can't be held in jail beyond their scheduled release dates. Since then, federal agents have been asking local law enforcement agencies to provide information about immigrants they're seeking for deportation, if not hold them.

Zendesk is a cloud-based customer service software company that provides support solutions to businesses of all sizes. The company has more than 10,000 customers in over 100 countries. To provide its customers with the best possible experience, Zendesk needed to find a way to quickly and efficiently translate its content into multiple languages.
The company turned to machine translation (MT) to help with its localization efforts. MT is a form of artificial intelligence that uses software to translate text from one language to another. Zendesk used MT to quickly and accurately translate its content into multiple languages, including Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese. The company then reviewed the translated content to ensure that it met its high standards for quality.
The use of MT allowed Zendesk to quickly and efficiently translate its content into multiple languages, without sacrificing quality. This helped the company provide its customers with the best possible experience, regardless of their location.
Streamlining the Localization Process with Machine Translation: Lessons from Zendesk
When it comes to streamlining the localization process, machine translation can be a valuable asset. This was certainly the case for Zendesk, a customer service and engagement platform that serves over 125,000 customers in more than 150 countries.
Localization is essential for any company looking to expand its global reach, but it can be a time-consuming and expensive endeavor. Zendesk recognized the potential of machine translation to speed up the localization process and improve the quality of its translations, while also reducing costs.
Zendesk first piloted machine translation in 2013 with a small team of in-house translators. The results were so positive that the company decided to roll out machine translation to its entire localization team. The move has helped Zendesk to achieve its goal of providing an excellent customer experience in every language it offers.
Machine has allowed Zendesk translation to quickly and easily translate large volumes of text, including product documentation, marketing materials, and support content. The company has also been able to use machine translation to automatically generate translations of new content, which has further sped up the localization process.
The accuracy of machine translation has improved significantly in recent years, thanks to advances in artificial intelligence and neural networks. This has been a major boon for Zendesk, as it means that the company can rely on machine translation to produce high-quality translations that accurately reflect the original content.
Zendesk is just one example of a company that has successfully used machine translation to streamline its localization process. With the continued improvement of machine translation technology, more and more companies are likely to follow suit in the years to come.
How Machine Translation Enabled Zendesk to Achieve their Targeted Localization Strategy
Technological advancements have made it possible for companies to expand their reach and target new markets. However, with this expansion comes the challenge of how to communicate effectively with customers in different languages. This was the challenge that Zendesk, a cloud-based customer service software company, faced as they looked to expand their business globally.
To achieve their targeted localization strategy, Zendesk turned to machine translation. Machine translation is a form of artificial intelligence that enables a computer to translate text from one language to another. By using machine translation, Zendesk was able to quickly and efficiently translate their customer service content into multiple languages. This allowed them to effectively communicate with their international customer base and provide them with the excellent customer service that they were known for.
Machine translation has revolutionized the way that companies can expand their reach and target new markets. It has enabled Zendesk to achieve its targeted localization strategy and effectively communicate with its international customer base. This, in turn, has resulted in increased sales and a loyal customer base.
The Benefits of Using Machine Translation for Localization: A Case Study of Zendesk
Technology has revolutionized the language industry in recent years. In the past, localization was a time-consuming and expensive process that required human translators to manually translate text from one language to another.
However, with the advent of machine translation (MT), this process has become much easier and more efficient. Machine translation is a form of artificial intelligence that uses algorithms to automatically translate text from one language to another.
MT has many advantages over traditional human translation. For one, it is much faster and more cost-effective. Additionally, MT can handle large volumes of text more efficiently than human translators.
Another advantage of MT is that it can help to improve the accuracy of translations. This is because MT can take into account the context of a sentence and the grammar rules of a language to6 provide more accurate translations.
Finally, MT can also help to improve the efficiency of the localization process overall. This is because it can allow for real-time translation of the text, which can help to save time and money.
In conclusion, machine translation is a powerful tool that can help to improve the accuracy, speed, and efficiency of the localization process. Additionally, it can help to save time and money. If you are looking for a more efficient and cost-effective way to localize your content, then machine translation may be the right solution for you.

The heroin epidemic continues to damage too many lives. Thousands die each year from a heroin overdose in the United States, and countless others end up in emergency rooms with withdrawal symptoms or worse. Heroin abuse remains a central problem for our country.
There are many signs of heroin addiction to watch out for. Perhaps you’re worried about yourself, or maybe a friend or family member. And you might be wondering: what are the signs of heroin abuse? While the symptoms may not immediately be recognizable — mundane physical issues such as a runny nose, constipation, or a hot flash — these can be a clear call for help.
What Is Heroin?
Hardly a day goes by when you don’t hear something about heroin in the news. But what is heroin? Where did it come from, and why is it so dangerous?
Heroin originates from the opium poppy plant, which has yielded many different painkilling compounds. It was originally commercialized by the pharmaceutical maker Bayer Corp. in the late 1800s to help people with severe illnesses such as cancer. Not long after it reached the market, doctors began seeing alarming reports of severe addiction to heroin. It has been an illegal narcotic across the world since that time.
Heroin is a highly addictive depressant that slows down various processes in your central nervous system and blunts your ability to feel pain. One of the reasons it is so dangerous is because it is known to lower your breathing rate to dangerously low levels.
Signs of Heroin Abuse
Because heroin is so strong and addictive, you will feel effects right from the initial use. The first thing you feel likely will be a rush of euphoria or warm feelings. But then the troubles start. Short- and long-term effects include:
- Nausea, vomiting, other gastrointestinal upset
- Severe itching
- Dry mouth
- Flushing on the skin
- Damage to the linings in the nose
- Mood swings
- Sexual dysfunction
- Mental health challenges such as depression
Many of these symptoms are common in other forms of opioid addiction. If you or a loved one show these signs, consider seeking help from a treatment facility near you.
Recovering from Heroin Addiction
Heroin addiction recovery takes time and a lot of hard work, along with the love and support of family and friends. Rehab programs are not always easy, but you, like many others before you, can come through with a renewed sense of purpose and a commitment to sobriety.
Every individual has their own personal experience in substance abuse. The stages of treatment are universal, though, whether for heroin abuse or opioid addiction. These include:
- Intake – Doctors will conduct a thorough physical to establish the basis of your health
- Planning – Using information from the intake, your team will create a long-term roadmap for care
- Detox – Your first task is to step down from your addiction under the watchful eye of a health care team that can address withdrawal symptoms
- Counseling – You will work with therapists in addiction medicine both individually and in group sessions to understand the circumstances that brought you here and how to cope better in the future
- Aftercare – Involves resources such as ongoing counseling and peer support that lower the risk of relapse

So, I gotta know: Do you have any clothes in your closet that are designed to be worn a bunch of different ways? I’m fascinated by pieces that magically transform from a dress into a shirt, and then, with a few twists here, an adjustment there, BAM! — you get a cape. 🙂
I have something like that called the Nikki 5-Way Dress. I wore it the other day to grab lunch and run some errands.
So far, I’ve tried it the five different ways, but to be honest, the only way I really feel comfortable in it is if I wear it off the shoulder, draped and tied at the waist like in these pics.
When I wear it with my arms through both sleeves, or as a tunic (where you hike up the dress), I feel like I’ve been devoured by material, like I’m swimming in it.
Yeah, might be a little too much dress for me… It would probably be easier if you’re taller.
I do love the draping Grecian goddess angle, though.
Oh, and I also love, LOVE that the jersey material doesn’t wrinkle, so I can skip ironing. Added bonus: it’s machine washable, too.
Doing the robot while showing off the kimono sleeve!
A solid-color dress with a simple neckline like this one begs for a bold necklace. Here I’m wearing a multi-stranded beaded number that I found last year, but I bet something like this coral bib necklace by designer Amrita Singh would also look really cute.
Have I ever told you about how I like to keep extra pairs of emergency shoes in the car? No seriously, my back seat looks like a DSW exploded.
That’s why I’m wearing different shoes in the last pic. I started the day wearing those gray and beige platform sling backs by Kate Spade up at the top, but around noon I got the urge to change into the nude L.A.M.B pump there at the bottom… My feet are just fickle that way, and the nude pumps are my go-to pair when I want to look taller.

Arles is a city and commune in the south of France, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, of which it is a subprefecture, in the former province of Provence.
A large part of the Camargue is located on the territory of the commune, making it the largest commune in Metropolitan France in terms of territory (though Maripasoula, French Guiana is much larger).
The city has a long history, and was of considerable importance in the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis. The Roman and Romanesque Monuments of Arles were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1981.
The Dutch post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh lived in Arles in 1888–1889 and produced over 300 paintings and drawings during his time there. Arles is probably the best place for perfect holidays in the South of France.

With more than 300 days of sun, Arles is a city of the south, where life is good. Its distinctive light goes with its quality of life. The richness of its local produce and the savoir-faire of its restaurants make Arles a gastronomical must-see in Provence.
Van Gogh & Picasso
Today the name of Arles is inseparable from that of Van Gogh. He came attracted by the light in the south of France. Vincent arrived in Arles one day in February 1888 in search of this light both in and out of doors .
Picasso was attracted to Arles due to his Andalusian passion for bullfights, and above all, by the mesmerizing presence of Vincent Van Gogh.
The pink flamingo is one of the 340 species of birds of the Camargue fauna. It is perhaps the most attractive one.
Since the beginning of the 70s, the largest colony of pink flamingos in the Western Mediterranean reproduces on a small island on the Camargue.
Scientists and nature-loving volunteers, have developped a vast program to protect pink flamingoes and offer them a comfortable home.
This is a very beautiful sandy beach, almost six kilometres long, located west of the mouth of the Grande Rhone. It is accessed through Salin-de-Giraud and the car park is free. It is a long beach, with clumps of rare plants. There is nothing, no hotels, restaurant or shops at less than ten kilometres from the village of Saline of Giraud, just a hut serving chips, the ice-cream van and the fire station for the safety of bathers.
The museum has been collecting photography since the 1960’s (4000 works to date), has received gifts from exceptional artists (Picasso, with 57 drawings and two paintings, Alechinsky…), emphasizes sculpture (Germaine Richier, Toni Grand…), and created in 2008 a listening chamber for sound art.

Foot Imbalance: How it Can Put Your Spine at Risk
Most people sat in elementary school music class singing about their foot bone being connected to their leg bone, and their leg bone being connected to their backbone. It may not be anatomically correct, but it may not be too far from the truth, either. Your body’s bone structure is just one component of the systems that need to function correctly for optimum health, and when one part of the system isn’t working, it can throw off the rest of that system, as well as others. That’s why foot imbalance, which seems like something small, can have an impact on your overall health.
What can cause foot imbalance?
Foot imbalance happens for many reasons. Some people were born with structural defects in their feet while others may have suffered an injury, like a broken leg, hip, knee, or foot, that has caused foot imbalance. Some people have poor joint function or mobility, whereas others have legs of unequal lengths. For females, extended wearing of high-heeled shoes (especially if they don’t fit properly or are too tall for a person’s given height) can also affect foot balance.
Each of those can affect the way you walk and move or your gait cycle; the three-part process of taking a step. From stepping out with your heel, to your entire foot, to your toes leaving the ground, each part of the gait cycle causes small spinal movements. Two key signs of foot imbalance are noticed during the gait cycle:
1. Pronation: When your foot rolls in when you walk.
2. Supination: When your foot rolls out.
Neither of these should happen in a properly-aligned body that has symmetrical feet and level knees, pelvis, and shoulders.
Both of these conditions can put stress on your spine, reduce its ability to absorb shock, throw off your balance, and have adverse effects on your body’s response, position and speed changes. Foot imbalance not only affects your posture and stability but also the central nervous system, which stems from the spine. Improper spinal alignment can wreak havoc on your nervous system, causing tingling sensations in your extremities, pain, and joint issues.
A gait analysis or exam performed by your chiropractor is the first step to diagnosing a foot imbalance. Not only will chiropractors evaluate your hip and shoulder heights, knee rotations and spinal curves, but they will also most likely take an X-ray. They’ll tell you about the degree or your pronation or supination, and will help to put together a care program that includes the following:
- Chiropractic Adjustments: Used to bring your spinal column back into alignment, re-training your bones to stay in their proper locations and providing you relief from pain, and better balance, coordination, and mobility. Regularly scheduled adjustments may be required.
- Orthotics Inserts: These will help to level out your feet, improving your balance, stability, and gait. These inserts will be customized to the impact you’ll be putting on your feet and the shape of your arches, and will help your spine to maintain and hold the adjustment for longer.
- Conditioning Program: A tailor-made program specifically for your needs to give you strength and teach you stretching exercises to help build up the muscles involved in your individual diagnosis.
Proper spine health stems from your feet; in fact, about one-fourth of your body’s bones are in your feet. Unfortunately, almost everyone will be affected by foot imbalance within their lives in one way or another. Chiropractic treatment of your foot imbalance can immediately relieve pain experienced when walking or moving, and help prevent long-term health issues that can come because of an improperly aligned spine. Keeping your feet healthy provides your body and spine with a strong foundation.
If you’re concerned that foot imbalance could be causing trouble throughout the rest of your body, call Access to Health at (860) 889-1475 to make an appointment. We want to make your walk through life as smooth and as pain-free as possible!

I always ask James first in regard to training questions I have with my dogs, because he replies with customized and compassionate advice, and my little misfits are better for it.

WHAT IS HARASSMENT?
In general, harassment in workplace includes a wide range of intentional and offensive behaviors intend to disturb, upset, or threatened employees, and is characteristically repetitive in nature.
WHEN IS HARASSMENT ILLEGAL?
It is illegal to harass an employee because of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. Also, it’s illegal to harass someone because they have complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
WHAT FORMS CAN HARASSMENT TAKE?
Harassment comes in various forms from bullying, where physical and psychological harassing behavior perpetrated against the employee; to psychological harassment by humiliating, intimidating or abusive behavior which is often difficult to detect leaving no evidence other than victim reports or complaints.
Also, harassment can take the forms of slurs, graffiti, offensive or derogatory comments, or other verbal or physical conduct. Although the law does not prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal if it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or if it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).
WHO CAN BE THE HARASSER?
The harasser can be the victim’s supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a client or customer. For example, the harasser can be the HR worker/manager whose behavior intends to disturb or upset the employee by sending numerous and often hard to interpret policies, or threatening to terminate the employee.
Harassment outside of the workplace may also be illegal if there is a link with the workplace. For example, if a supervisor harasses an employee while driving the employee to a meeting.
WERE YOU HARASSED BECAUSE OF YOUR RACE/ETHNICITY/RELIGION/SEX?
An often form of harassment is racial harassment, which targets employees because of their race or ethnicity. This type of harassment tends to make the employee feel degraded due to their race or ethnicity. Perhaps your employer harasses colored employees by constantly stating that they are not smart enough or are too dumb to do their job properly.
Religious harassment is also common in the workplace environment where verbal, psychological or physical harassment is used against employees because they choose to practice a specific religion. Perhaps you go to church every Sunday and your employer harasses you on how you don’t work hard enough because you refuse to come into work on Sundays and that your religion is shameful.
But yet, perhaps the most often harassment in the workplace comes as sexual harassment. It involves unwanted and unwelcome words, deeds, actions, gestures, symbols, or behaviors of a sexual nature that make the employee feel uncomfortable. Gender and sexual orientation harassment fall into this family. Perhaps your boss harasses an employee on how pretty she is and how he would like to take her home or comments on her body in an unwanted often sexually descriptive manner.
WE CAN HELP
If you feel that you have been harassed by your employer, you should contact an employment attorney immediately to protect your legal rights under both State and Federal laws.

The reason cellulite is rarely seen in men and widely appeared in women. There are many different sections that will focus on the dreaded cellulite. Almost 90% of women in America and Europe suffer from the dreaded cottage cheese syndrome or the orange peel skin. A person’s genetic makeup predicts their fat storage and metabolism in these layers which are predisposed by diet, exercise and lifestyle. A brief overview of cellulite is the Fat deposits under the skin that outwardly give the skin a dimpled, or orange-peel like appearance. We always have to keep in mind that the skin reflects our internal state of health and nutrition. Also make sure to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.
This unsightly bumpy appearance of cellulite on the skin is most commonly seen on the hips, thighs and buttocks of women. A woman’s hormones are usually responsible for the regulation of their blood flow, fat, connective tissue and lymphatic drainage. Cellulite’s formation is a result of complex physiological changes that occur in the subcutaneous fat layer. There are two types of cellulite and they are soft cellulite and hard cellulite. Hard cellulite is difficult to get rid of because it doesn’t lift from the body easily. It’s also harder to see because it attaches directly to the muscle. Soft cellulite is not as concentrated as hard cellulite and is much more visible. It occurs in large areas and, because it doesn’t attach so strongly to the muscle, it’s looser, often sagging from the body.
Causes of Cellulite
Thickness of your skin
change in daily routining
Feeling of tightness and heaviness in the legs
Treatment for cellulite
The cellulite massage may be useful for the treatment of the cellulite.
Exercise is one of the most straight forward and cheapest methods that is available to treat cellulite.
The anti-cellulite creams that are available that claim to reduce the look of cellulite on a womans body.
Several surgical cellulite techniques and cellulite suction treatments such as cellulite and liposuction.
There are also creams available which contain herbs, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. Creams which contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatories are more effective when treating cellulite as they stimulate the flow of blood.
The body manipulation techniques are employed to enhance the removal of fluid in the dermis area.
Dietary supplements may be useful for the treatment of the cellulite.
New therapies like the jet therapy, which breaks fat cells with the help of compressed air blown onto the skin through a small filtration system, is yet to gain credibility.
The mesotherapy (injection of drugs into cellulite) are either expensive or may produce only temporary improvement.

Voyage pittoresque de la Grece.
Paris, [J.J. Blaise], 1782, 1809, 1824.
Choiseul-Gouffier's masterpiece is the first publication of a voyage to be composed mainly of illustrations of places which are complementary to a narrative and descriptive text. This work established the model for later Voyages pittoresques not only in format but also by the employment of different artists. Notable artists used in this work include Saint-Aubin and Moreau le Jeune. Volume I contains a discourse on Greek history and the struggle for liberty. Primarily, though, it is an account of the author's travels through Greece and is heavily illustrated with maps, views of natural wonders and classical ruins. The first part of the second volume is a reconstruction of the Troad, that area of the Mediterranean associated with the Iliad. It reflects the author's reduced circumstances and is sparsely illustrated. The second part, published after Choiseul-Gouffier's death by his friends from notes left by him, is a much more luxurious effort, probably as the result of subsidy, and is again heavily illustrated.
First edition, first issue of vol. I; 2 vols bound in 3; folio (53 x 35 cm. approx.), half-titles, 3 engraved titles, one portrait, 2 unnumbered double-page general maps and 284 plates and maps on 168 leaves, 8 double-page or folding, elaborate engraved head and tail-pieces, one double-page printed table; occasional light toning, uniform 19th-century maroon morocco gilt extra by J. Clarke, all edges gilt, a fine set.

Kay Eccles from Broughton lost her husband Sam, 85, in February following a year long battle with lung cancer.
At the inquest held in Barrow on September 14, a coroner ruled that the painter and decorator’s cause of death was industrial disease sparking an appeal from his family who are now urging former Vickers Armstrong employees to come forward and speak up about asbestos.
The appeal has come just as new figures released by the Office for National Statistics revealed that mortality rates in Barrow are almost three times the national average for mesothelioma deaths.
According to the ONS, there are 4.51 deaths for every 100,000 people – in Barrow this figure is 11.57. Mrs Eccles said:
“Sam was always a fit and active man and was in great health until early 2015 when he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
The diagnosis took us all by surprise and it was extremely hard for us to see his health deteriorate as he battled against the disease.
We want to know why more wasn’t done to protect him from the risks asbestos posed to his health by Vickers Armstrong and hope that taking legal action will help us secure justice in Sam’s name.”
Mr Eccles spent more than 20 years on board ships and submarines, often for long periods of time.
His wife explained that many other tradesmen such as joiners and laggers were also in the dusty environments where asbestos was used to insulate pipework.
The family hope other workers can come forward and share any information relating to Mr Eccles’ exposure to asbestos or the safety measures put in place by the firm, and the warnings provided to staff about the health risks associated with asbestos.
Neil Sugarman, president of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers said:
“Areas such as Barrow, which has a high rate of deaths from mesothelioma, are no doubt seeing the effects of past industry where workers were negligently exposed to asbestos.
People went to work and came home with a death sentence because their negligent employers exposed them to asbestos. It’s a national tragedy.”

I was asked to talk with the literature students about plagiarism.
After introducing the topic and explaining a little about it, I summarized with the following statements:
1. Don’t present someone else’s ideas as your own—if you do, you’re stealing his or her intellectual property.
2. You are welcome to share other people’s insights, ideas and wording, if you give credit where credit is due.
(These ideas are presented in similar form at this Indiana University site.)
After class, I felt that they needed more information. So when I got home, I found some plagiarism tutorials. Going through the tutorials served as a good refresher for me not only as an instructor/facilitator of this literature class but also as a blogger.
We all hate it when we see one our own blog posts picked up and presented on another site as if it is original material.
But we need to be careful, too, when we are inspired by someone else, to give credit where credit is due.
Because I read so many tips, ideas, solutions and stories on blogs, websites and tweets, sometimes I’m not sure how something comes together in my brain. Nevertheless, I’m convinced that I need to be as careful and honoring as possible to those who have created original content that worked its way into my world. I have always tried to link you to the original article(s) from which I found inspiration and provide appropriate references.
After researching this topic, I resolve not only to continue my efforts but also to improve my practices.
As bloggers, we need to be careful to give credit where credit is due.
If you want to learn more about plagiarism and how to avoid it in your writing, here is a cute tutorial found at the Vaughan Memorial Library (Acadia University) website. It gives a good overview. I suggested that the students pick “Dylan” when they get to that step in the tutorial, as he fits our class. I think he would be the best “blogger” student, as well, so I suggest you pick him to walk you through.
If you want a more thorough tutorial, try this one from Indiana University (see the following links). The sample readings are a bit dry, but this tutorial illustrates very well how to spot plagiarism in your work (and how to fix it):
- How to Recognize Plagiarism
- Five Examples of Word for Word Plagiarism (go through these to prepare for the practice quiz)
- Five Examples of Paraphrasing Plagiarism (go through these, too, to prepare for the practice quiz)
- Practice: How to Recognize Plagiarism (this is the quiz—read each example and select the entry [click choice A or B] that you think has not been plagiarized to test your understanding. Immediate feedback provided.)
With ideas zipping and zapping across the World Wide Web in the form of tweets, posts and articles, it’s hard to remember precisely what impacted or inspired us to write something. And it’s a huge challenge to track every slightly interesting stop as we surf and explore content.
Yet, this is one of the recommendations provided in the tutorials—students doing research are urged to record every resource from which they might cite something either paraphrased or as a direct quote.
How do you track potential resources for your blog posts?
What are your plagiarism-avoidance techniques?

Thank you Ann. I will be back to utilize these tutorials. As a wannabe real writer I, too, find it challenging to know if the information I have is my own. I often print out all of my research sources and have my husband compare what I have written to the research material, to insure I have not stolen someone’s thoughts or words.
I will definitely be using your post for ideas to be certain I am giving the credit to the right persons!
Lynn Hopper says
Of course, in the world of journalism this has always been a big factor for me. But I recall a literature class in college in which several of us apparently wrote better papers than the professor anticipated, so he quizzed us very closely on whether or not we’d used someone else’s material. When he got to me I answered very truthfully, that if I had taken the time and effort to go to the library and look up material, I would certainly have wanted to get credit for it!
hopeannfaith: The process of researching this does have me wondering if I am doing enough. I pick up a tidbit here or there on the Internet as I read and piece it together over time with other things. It’s a challenge to locate and cite sources, but important. I’m learning. I hope that what I’ve learned can help you, as well. I am, by the way, trying to go back to some of my recent posts and add more information.
Lynn Hopper: That’s a good story–and a reflection of your excellent thinking/writing skills. One thing I wonder about is how much information is readily available on the Web. We no longer have to trudge to the library to look up material. It’s right at our fingertips. Do you think that changes the situation?
Lynn Hopper says
It probably muddles it, legally. As you know, I’ve spent much of my life doing research, and the Internet has been a tremendous help. But it isn’t the end. There are still things that must be found searching in books and other written material. Eventually, in come cases, I’ve absorbed so much from so many places it would be impossible to say just exactly where it came from. In that case, i feel free to rely on my knowledge. But just as in college, I feel that citing another source lends credence to whatever you are saying.
Angie Knight says
Thanks for this great information Ann. Having been the victim of plagiarism I know the sting that is felt when copied. I do a lot of reading and like to pass on my favorites—and try to be so careful to remember who-where-what I read it from.
This is my first time here, and actually came over here for the memorization tips that Ann Voskamp pointed me to! I have enjoyed all that I have read!
P.S. the tutorial you linked in is a HUGE help for future reference!

What can you do at the touring Hin Market at the Zhongshan building, Jalan Kampung Attap in Kuala Lumpur this weekend? Browse the creative wares on sale, talk to a designer, meet a traditional craft artisan, or check out an AR show.
The popular Hin Market, a familiar sight on the weekends at George Town’s Hin Bus Depot, serves as a community arts platform in Penang and also a gathering place of creators and makers nationwide.
Hin Market is now aiming to spread its wings with the (free admission) "Hin On The Move" touring project.
The first stop will be at the Zhongshan building on May 27 and 28, before its return to Penang for the Fete event (June 16) and the George Town festival (July 29 and 30), and then travelling off to Muar in Johor (Aug 26 and 27), Melaka (Sept 16 and 17) and Chiang Mai (Oct 28 and 29) in Thailand.
There is a core group of arts vendors that is part of this six-month touring market, but in each location, there will be other vendors from the local arts community that will join the event.
Queen Lee, Hin Market programme manager, says that Hin On The Move's objective is to provide an opportunity for Hin vendors to broaden their horizons by visiting different cities and learning from various creators.
“Hin On The Move encourages vendors to step outside their comfort zones and establish connections with creators from different cities. This journey allows them to gain new perspectives and forge collaborations with other creative individuals and businesses,” says Lee.
Hin On The Move at the Zhongshan (noon to 8pm) will a focus on "design and illustration", with over 75 vendors, including illustrator/sculptor Alexoid Luce, specialist Bundusan Books, Basheer Graphics Books, illustrator Marni Zainodin, flower jewellery art outfit Allithing, clothing brand The WES Studio, Ms Papericious, retro photography outfit Slashshop, Posment Apparel, and Sabah-based indigenous brass accessories maker Vuhanut By Jason Labunda.
There will also be food and beverages from different countries – Malaysian, Vietnamese and Korean.
If you want your Vietnamese egg coffee fix, Nui Kopi will be whipping up this dreamy concoction at the market.
On the art front, there will be an AR programme, featuring George Town-based artists such as Aboud Fares, Bibichun, Ivan Gabriel, Parasite Generation, Esther Geh, Kangblabla, IMMJN and others.
In the coming months, each touring market will have its own curatorial theme focus, based on the location and community. In Muar, the travelling Hin Market will adopt a green concept with a "back to nature" programme.
“Muar is a small town with a strong sense of community. The majority of its residents are middle-aged or retired, and their lifestyle differs from other locations. To cater to their needs, this (upcoming market) will provide a space for them to unwind, enjoy and engage in meaningful activities,” says Lee.
In Melaka, the market will embrace a lively and youthful spirit, with the vibrant Bangunan MLK, now a downtown hipster and skate hub, serving as the focal point for this emerging arts scene.
Next year, the Hin Bus Depot will mark its 10th anniversary in George Town.

In information systems (IS), Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) has become a popular research area among IS and management researchers as a result of industry push and the development and advancement of research in service sciences. From academic perspective, a growing number of papers have been published addressing many aspects of ITSM issues. This paper presents the results based on a study of comprehensive review of publications in ITSM over the past decade (from 2000 to 2010) with the objective of answering the following research question: what is the current state of research in ITSM, from theoretical foundation and research topic perspectives. Our findings suggest that 1) there is generally a lack of theoretically driven researches; 2) the field is still developing with a growing number of published papers dealing with the development of concepts, constructs, models, methods and implementations for theory development; 3) ITSM performance issues, justifications, and IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) topics are among the most popular topics of research.

Mija Survey Ltd Introduces the Topo Van Vehicle Mounted Survey Station
Mija Survey Ltd, a company based in King’s Lynn, England, is proud to announce that they have introduced the innovative TopoVan which is now available for hire. This land surveying van makes use of a mounted scanner to enhance safety and save time. It operates at a height of 20 feet, which allows it to cover a much bigger area with every scan and it is also capable of scanning areas that a standard tripod would not be able to reach.
The TopoVan should not be confused with mobile mapping systems that work on top of a moving van at a lower height. The TopoVan is operated in a static position, just like standard tripods, except that it operates from an increased height. Although it is static when it is being operated, it can easily be moved to the next position because it is vehicle-mounted. As a result of being operated from a higher position, the number of positions from which to scan is greatly reduced.
Mija Survey Ltd has been working on several prototypes for more than a year and the TopoVan is the first product to be released in the range. Future models are expected to operate at greater heights. Meanwhile, the safety and comfort of operators are improved because they can do the scanning while sitting inside the vehicle. They don’t have to carry any heavy equipment and set it up for surveying, whatever the weather. All they need to do is choose a good base and then utilise the built-in stabilisers before raising the 3D laser scanning equipment.
With 3D laser scanning, a reflectorless laser is used to scan a surface to gather three-dimensional data. A camera sensor in the scanner captures the surface data by recording 3D points in space. This is an extremely accurate technique of gathering data in 3D and is also known as light detection and ranging (LIDAR).
With the data gathered, Mija Survey Ltd can provide various kinds of deliverables of varying complexity. Examples are the traditional 2D drawings for measured building and topographical surveys; digital terrain models; 3D point clouds; building models; and 3D models. These can be used for various needs, such as construction inspection; event pre-planning; as-built surveys; site/engineering surveys; topographical surveys; architectural restoration; building and structure elevations; roof plans; archaeology; deformation analysis; pipeline surveys; bridge, overpass and tower surveys; and volumetric surveys.
Mija Survey Ltd provides companies located throughout the United Kingdom with surveying services using advanced technology. The areas closest to its headquarters include Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, although much of its business is conducted further afield. Using advanced hardware and software, they are able to provide highly accurate data in just a fraction of the time that it usually takes using conventional methods with the result that clients get the needed results faster at less cost and more accuracy. They offer various services, such as land surveying, 3D laser scanning, drone surveys, topographical surveys, GPR surveys, drainage CCTV surveys, and site engineering and setting out.
Drone surveys are provided using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can go to areas that would otherwise be very difficult, hazardous, time-consuming, or even impossible to reach. These range from buildings to offshore wind turbines to railway tracks. These drone surveys may also be used to perform regular surveys of the progress of construction projects, providing site development reports to clients. By utilising advanced aerial surveying equipment, they can survey any stockpiles and provide point cloud referenced volumetric 3D models.
Topographical surveys are used to plot and identity the man-made and natural features of a particular area of land. They have topographical survey experts who use the most up-to-date technology to provide highly accurate topographical surveys for architectural design phases, planning developments, and small and large-scale engineering projects. They work with architects, designers, construction professionals, estate managers, and developers to accurately determine ground relief, map the location of man-made or natural features across all construction and development sites, and provide contour mapping.

Recent developments of studies on proton transfer dynamics in the hydrogen bonds of carboxylic acid dimers are reviewed. The phonon assisted tunneling in an asymmetric double well potential in the crystalline lattice is discussed together with a coupling effect between proton and heavy atom motions. The tunneling rates in the low temperature limit have been determined by proton and deuteron NMR to be 107 s-1-109 s-1 for most of investigated carboxylic acids. In the high temperature region, a new dynamic phenomenon was found in the H/D mixed crystals of benzoic acid. The transfer rate of an HD pair in hydrogen-bonded dimeric unit of carboxyl groups is quenched as a concentration of D in the surrounding hydrogen bounds is increased. This suggests a new mechanism of the thermally activated proton transfer mediated by short-lived quantum correlations between protons.
The crystal structures of polymorphisms of free amino acids have been reviewed. The polymorphisms were classified into three types: The first, including DL-methionine, DL-norleucine and DL-a-amino-butyric acid, has polymorphs of different packing arrangement of molecular double layers which is rigidly bound by hydrogen bonds. In this type, the polymorphs can interconvert in solid state by temperature. The second type, glycine, L-cystine and L-histidine, has polymorphs in which hydrogen bonding schemes are different although molecular conformations are similar. The third type, L-cystein, L-aspartic acid and L-glutamic acid, has polymorphs with different hydrogen bonding schemes and different molecular conformations. In this type, metastable form converts irreversibly to stable form by solvent-mediated transformation mechanism.
A combined method of the channeling enhanced x-ray microanalysis (ALCHEMI) and the intersecting Kikuchi-line (IKL) technique, both of which are based on dynamical electron diffraction, is used for determining long range order parameters in a multi-component system. An application of the method to Ll0 ordering in CuAuPd ternary alloys is described, and the kinetic paths in time-evolution of long range order are discussed. This method expands a field of research on atomic configuration in multi-component alloys.
Microstructures of MBE grown Si12/Ge4 and Si18/Ge6 strained-layer superlattice were studied using a transmission electron microscope. The Ge/Si heterointerfaces were observed to be flat and abrupt. Those of Si/Ge were neither flat nor distinct. Dislocations mostly identified as 60 degree type, were observed in the Si substrate near the interface with the strained-layer superlattice. Strain introduced in the preparation of thin-films for electron microscopy was observed. Optical properties of the Si/Ge strained-layer superlattice were discussed on the basis of results of the microstructure study.
The defect structure models of LiNbO3 (lithium niobate) were reviewed, with emphasis on the “Li-site vacancy model” we recently proposed on the basis of the results of single crystal X-ray and powder neutron diffraction experiments. A detailed scheme of Mg-incorporation in the LiNbO3 structure was also presented using our defect model.
Recently, it is found that structures formed upon alkali-metal adsorption are strongly dependent on substrate temperature. At low temperature, alkali-metal atoms form overlayers occupying the highest coordination sites of substrate surfaces. At room temperature, some adsorption systems do no exhibit overlayer-formation. Instead, alkali-metal atoms replace substrate surface atoms initially following ordered surface-alloy formation with increasing coverage.

Morning Brief: Your Voter Guide, A Mental Health Crisis, And Old Chinatown
This newsletter was written prior to the weekend’s news. For breaking and current news, please visit laist.com.
Good morning, L.A. It’s August 30.
By now, you should have received a ballot to vote in the gubernatorial recall election asking Californians to decide whether to keep Gavin Newsom in office, or replace him with a new governor.
According to recent polling, the frontrunners to replace Newsom are all Republicans. They include talk show host Larry Elder, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, businessman John Cox, and Assemblymember Kevin Kiley.
(Former congressman Doug Ose has since dropped out of the race for health reasons.)
The election is scheduled for Sept. 14, but you can return your mail-in ballot anytime.
This is the web version of our How To LA newsletter. Sign up here to get this newsletter sent to your inbox each weekday morning
To answer your election-related questions, my colleague Libby Denkmann put together this handy voter guide. Here are some highlights:
- You’ll only be asked two questions on the ballot. The first is: “Shall GAVIN NEWSOM be recalled (removed) from the office of Governor?” The second is a list of 46 candidates who are vying to replace him, of which you can select one.
- If more than 50% of voters say “no” to the first question, Newsom will stay in office. If more than 50% say “yes,” the candidate with the most votes from the list of 46 will be seated in his place.
- If you vote “no” on the first question, you can still pick a replacement candidate. Your “no” won’t be invalidated.
- If you prefer to vote in person, you can do so starting Sept. 4 and for the following 11 days at various polling places throughout the county.
- You can send in your ballot via regular mail (no postage required), or drop it at a ballot drop box.
Last Friday, a judge threw out a lawsuit that claimed the recall election is unconstitutional. The judge also refused to allow Newsom’s name to be added to the list of candidates in the second question.
Keep reading for more on what’s happening in L.A., and stay safe out there.

Before You Go ... LA's Chinatown Has A Storied History
The city’s original Chinatown sprang up in the mid-1800s, near Olvera Street. People born in China began immigrating to the region as their native country faced land shortages, famine and poverty during a population boom. Despite racism and discrimination, Chinatown flourished and moved eastward, to where it is today.

A Norwegian Cruise Line carrying 4,000 passengers on their way back to NY from the Bahamas ran smack into the storm at sea, and the experience was anything but a vacation.
The trip quickly turned into a nightmare when they headed back to NY in bad weather on Tuesday.
'When you're on a boat in the middle of the ocean and water is pouring down the stairs, you're thinking 'this is not going to end well, ' Karoline said. "It was a nightmare", Olivia Ross told CBS New York.
Ecuador gives #Assange citizenship, seeks solution with Britain
Espinosa said that Ecuador could seek out a "third country or personality" to resolve the stand-off with Britain. Meanwhile, the British government confirmed that Ecuador had recently asked for diplomatic status for Assange.
The cruise was battered by the "bomb cyclone", with wild waves and flooded levels turning family holidays into nightmares.
Cruise vessel the Norwegian Breakaway sailed straight into the thick of the storm that has been smashing the eastern seaboard of the U.S., after it departed the picturesque and balmy Bahamas last week.
As a powerful 'bomb cyclone' ravaged the U.S. East Coast with snow and high winds this week, a Norwegian Cruise Line ship sailed right into its path, giving thousands of passengers a fearsome experience they aren't likely to forget. "'It was so tilted I was shaking". "This was the worst moment of my life", said Karoline Ross, speaking exclusively with CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff.

The Breakaway's late arrival to NY delayed a 14-day cruise, and the company says those guests will receive a refund for the lost day.
Distressed passengers on the 14-day cruise described 30-foot ocean swells that sent water into rooms and elevators when the storm hit Thursday.
Chuck Tredo (l.) and Ree Tredo (r.), from Dallas, were boarding the Norwegian Cruise Line on Saturday.. Some guests were not feeling safe in their rooms, moving to the ship's atrium. "We sincerely apologize to our guests for these stronger than expected weather conditions and any resulting discomfort they may have experienced", the company's statement read. "We were dead center of the storm and I really think it was a poor decision", Del added.

There are few instruments as amazing to look at as the harp guitar, just as there are few musicians as amazing to listen to as Muriel Anderson. Her incredible technical prowess mixed with this unique custom-built musical instrument is her life’s work.
In the video below, Muriel plays “Here Comes The Sun” using her harp guitar. The song was written by George Harrison and is a favourite of many Beatles fans. The video was recorded live at the Red Clay Music Foundry 2/10/17.
The Harp Guitar
Muriel shows off her harp guitar made by master craftsman Mike Doolin of Portland, Oregon. If you’ve never seen a harp guitar before, this video is great because as well as listening to Muriel’s exquisite playing, she also describes how it is played and all the work that goes into building one.
The video concludes with Muriel playing her own arrangement of Don Mclean’s Vincent. It’s incredible to hear a tune you know so well sound so different. Throughout the whole number, Muriel’s skill, musicality and love for her instrument shines through. So take a quiet moment for yourself and enjoy the beauty of this tune.
Who Is Muriel Anderson?
Muriel Anderson is a woman of many musical talents. As a child, she was already learning piano, and then at eight years old, she received a guitar from a family friend who was going to throw it away.
She learned to play the guitar at Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago throughout high school. Later, she played in her school’s jazz band and helped set up a bluegrass band and performed with them through her college years. Watch the full video below.

Studies show very clearly that the higher the education level for women, the fewer children they have. Yet women in the church are encouraged to focus on motherhood while also getting as much education as possible. A recent Catholic article outlined six reasons women should not be sent to college.
By contrast, why does the Mormon church encourage women to get an education? To what end?
If women actually start completing their education as the church encourages, will women delay marriage and have fewer children as studies indicate is to be expected? Are there some degrees women should be more or less encouraged to pursue? Should women & men both incur debt to complete a degree?
