Plus size America’s Next Top Model Whitney has bared all for a new campaign to fight eating disorders.
The model chimed in on Tyra’s recent thin-waisted model controversy. She told Dailymalk.co.uk:
Thompson has also stepped in to defend America’s Next Top Model’s host Tyra Banks who was embroiled in controversy recently after she was seen putting her hands around the waist of an extremely thin contestant on the latest series of the show.
‘Tyra supports women of all sizes as long as they are healthy,’ she says. ‘I do not fault her reaction to seeing such a tiny waist.
‘Tyra remains a leading figure in the fight for body equality in the fashion industry.’

What do you wear under a crochet top?
Wear a Bralette or a Bandeau beneath Crochet Top
You could put on a bralette or a bandeau underneath. A bralette looks like a bra, but it does not feature an underwire. In fact, it does not resemble a traditional bra. A bandeau looks like a tube top and is mainly put on to cover your chest.

What yarn is best for crochet tops?

We just took off work (don’t worry, we packed up all the orders before we left) and watched the Avengers movie this afternoon. It was a very good Marvel movie. Audiences have rated it an extremely high 9.0 on IMDB, and 96% of critics like it or love it. I could definitely watch this awesome flick again, expect significant repeat viewings after a huge weekend opening.
Who is my favorite character? Legolas….no, I meant Hawkeye.
**SPOILER ALERT** The Avengers end credit scene introduces us to Thanos, who smiles when he’s told that to attack Earth is to “court death”. Thanos in the comics is fascinated with death and nihilism. He kills millions on his home planet with nuclear bombardment before travelling to earth. He is capable of superhuman strength and can absorb and project vast quantities of cosmic energy, enough to obliterate planets. His most famous storyline sees him gain possession of the Infinity Gauntlet, recently glimpsed in the Thor movie (in Odin’s trophy room). Each gem of that gauntlet grants its bearer complete mastery over one aspect of the universe: Time, Space, Mind, Soul, Reality, or Power. We know that Thanos is not a villain in Iron Man 3, and appears unlikely for Thor 2. So it’s fairly safe to assume the set up is for the next Avengers movie. So maybe exepct to see Warlock somewhere too….

Johanna Konta ‘seeing light at the end of the tunnel’ as she reaches round four
Johanna Konta’s brilliant clay-court adventure continues as she beat Viktoria Kuzmova in the French Open third round to become the first British woman to reach the last 16 in 36 years.
After a slow start to the year, Konta reached the finals of the Morocco Open and the Italian Open in the lead-up to Roland Garros.
And she was once again at her best against Kuzmova as she brushed aside the Slovakian 6-2, 6-1 to set up a clash against 23rd seed Donna Vekic from Croatia, who beat Belinda Bencic 6-4, 6-1.
Konta started the French Open under a cloud as she was feeling under the weather, but things have improved.
— Johanna Konta (@JohannaKonta) May 31, 2019
“Today is the most human I have felt the last few days so I’m definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel,” she said.
She added: “I get my attention brought to these different little milestones – it is definitely a nice pat on the back.
“It’s a nice thing to hear, especially after winning a match.”

A pawn shop worker posted a viral video showing how the changing value of Louis Vuitton bags makes pawning one off a poor decision.
Angie Olvera (@aolvera3) has reached over 733,000 views and 16,000 likes on her TikTok by the publication of this story.
To begin her video, Olvera says, “This is the reason why you buy Louis Vuitton in a pawn shop.”
Olvera says she had a customer bring in a Louis Vuitton Félicie Pochette purse. She shows the purse on camera and says, “Pretty cute.”
Next, Olvera pulls out a paper receipt and says the customer had originally paid $1,530 for the purse.
According to Olvera and the Louis Vuitton website, the purse is now listed at $1,760.
“So, if you don’t know about Louis Vuitton, they go up in value, not down in value,” Olvera says.
“That is why you should invest in a Louis Vuitton,” she adds.
@aolvera3 I work in a pawnshop! If you dont know now you know 😉#tictok #savingmoney #investing #foryou ♬ original sound – Angie Olvera
A confused viewer in the comments section asked Olvera, “Why should I buy a LV in a pawnshop? You never answered.”
Another viewer responded, “I think she meant why they buy LV from customers.”
“They can give her ex-800 for it. But sell it the same price she paid for to another person since it went up in price,” another agrees.
A majority of the comments section wanted Olvera to tell them how much she ended up selling the bag for.
“The real question is how much are y’all selling it for?” one viewer asked. Olvera has yet to post a follow-up video or respond to any questions in the comments section.
Pawn America answered the question, “How do pawn shops calculate value?”
“Most pawn shops try to maintain a 38-50 percent profit margin, which means they want to earn that much compared to what they offer you. So, they’ll assess your item’s market value, then reduce it by their profit margin,” the site reports.
The Daily Dot reached out to Olvera via the TikTok comment section and Louis Vuitton via email.

IT WASN'T the bloodiest or even most violent we’ve seen, but Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead was possibly one of the longest and most stressful yet.
Running 20 minutes over, viewers had to agonise as chief bully Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) returned to Alexandria to cause chaos and pillage the village – taking everything that Rick (Andrew Lincoln) had left behind.
But the most exciting part was viewers finally discovering the mystery behind baby Judith’s biological father – as she is revealed to be the child of Rick’s wife Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) and Shane (Jon Bernthal) – his former police partner.
“She’s my daughter, but she isn’t mine,” Rick (Andrew Lincoln) told Michonne (Danai Gurira).
Sadly, there weren’t too many other developments, except that it was hammered home that Negan is one of the biggest baddies the show has ever seen, and the feeling that perhaps this is all being set up for a bloody season finale of rebellion against him.
Despite him stealing everything including their weapons (and their mattresses) Rosita (Christian Serratos) kept hold of an empty gun and was seen at the end of the episode asking to be made a bullet from one of Negan’s empty shells. Michonne was also seen secretly training and preparing for battle. The revolution could be starting here.
Don’t count on Darryl (Norman Reedus) though.
Now referred to as “the help” by Negan, the former badass was wheeled back in to Alexandria and doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of fighting back... yet.
We also learned that Maggie (Lauren Cohan) – who has not yet been seen in season seven – is alive, but now thought to be dead by Negan, thanks to some quick thinking by Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam).

Australian filmmaker John Hillcoat is a man famous for doing westerns set anywhere but the American Old West. From the 19th century Australian Outback in “The Proposition,” to a post-apocalyptic future in “The Road,” to a Prohibition-era bootlegger tale with “Lawless” – his films love classic archetypes of masculinity in all its ugly glory.
His new film “Triple 9” explores a different genre again – this time the cop drama. Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kate Winslet, Gal Gadot, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Teresa Palmer, Aaron Paul, Norman Reedus and Clifton Collins Jr. star in this story of a group of of dirty cops who have to manufacture a 999 ‘officer down’ call in order to pull off an impossible heist. Things go awry when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack.
Hillcoat’s longtime musical collaborators Nick Cave and Warren Ellis sadly aren’t returning, rather Trent Reznor’s collaborator Atticus Ross is going solo on this one. The film itself is now slated for a March 4th 2016 release and today a violent new red-band trailer has gone online. Check it out below:

It’s no longer just hardware companies like Nintendo and Sony who are recycling old content with plug-and-play mini consoles packed with retro games. Capcom’s now joining the fun too with its new Capcom Home Arcade that includes 16 classic titles from the developer’s catalog including Street Fighter II and Mega Man: The Power Battle, but we have some concerns about that design, as well as that price tag.
Fighting game enthusiasts often prefer to play with the same joystick and arcade button combination that are traditionally found on full-size arcade cabinets, so that’s what Capcom has done with its Home Arcade. Instead of a pint-sized console with wired controllers like the NES Classic Edition, the console itself is a 3D recreation of the Capcom logo with two sets of “competition class” Sanwa joysticks and arcade buttons built right in. It’s reminiscent of an actual arcade cabinet, and that design works great when two players are standing next to each other. But since the Capcom Home Arcade connects to a TV with an HDMI cable, it will instead be used on the couch or floor, requiring players to sidle up uncomfortably close to each other. The Capcom logo is cute, but not exactly ideal for hardware like this.
Still, it’s hard to deny that this would be a really easy way to kickstart your own home arcade cabinet if you’re lazy.
Available starting October 25, the Home Arcade appears to come bundled with a solid mix of both action and fighting games, including 1944: The Loop Master, Alien vs. Predator, Armored Warriors, Capcom Sports Club, Captain Commando, Cyberbots, Darkstalkers, Eco Fighters, Final Fight, Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, Gigawing, Mega Man: The Power Battle, Progear, Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, Strider, and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo. And there’s a USB port for anyone who wants to get hack-happy.
It also comes with wifi, which Capcom says will be used to download global leaderboard standings, but not for adding new content. That’s unfortunate, because as solid as the Home Arcade’s hardware looks, it’s going to include a price tag well north of $250. (The UK pricing has been set at €229.99) That’s more expensive than some versions of the Xbox One, and nearly the price of the Nintendo Switch.

Chronic illness, even in patients with no record of mental health problems, raises suicide risk substantially, according to a new study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine
Walking between busy urban environments and green spaces triggers changes in levels of excitement, engagement and frustration in the brain, a study of older people has found.
Researchers at the Universities of York and Edinburgh say the findings have important implications for architects, planners and health professionals as we deal with an ageing population.
Patients with depression find it easier to abandon unattainable goals, psychological study at the University of Jena shows
Smokers with depression who successfully quit smoking using stop smoking services may see an improvement in their mental health, according to new research, funded by Cancer Research UK and published in Annals of Behavioural Medicine.
A new Université de Montréal study in the British Medical Journal reveals that antidepressants prescribed to pregnant women could increase the chance of having a baby with birth defects.
The risk – 6 to 10 %, versus 3 to 5 % in women who do not take the drugs – is high enough to merit caution in their use, especially since, in most cases, they are only marginally effective, the study says.
Antidepressant use nearly doubles the risk of hip fracture among community-dwelling persons with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland. The increased risk was highest at the beginning of antidepressant use and remained elevated even 4 years later. The findings were published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.

Writing as Nicci French, husband and wife team Nicci Gerrard and Sean French have quickly established themselves as leading lights in the murky waters of psychological crime writing and have now embarked on their first series, featuring psychotherapist Frieda Klein, after a raft of stand alone thrillers. In her 4th outing, Frieda returns to the sleepy coastal town of her youth with its damaging memories to help out a close friend's daughter but it only serves to revive her own past monsters and an agonising case unfolds in which a tide of suffering soon threatens to engulf her. Gritty psychological suspense of the highest order, this is unputdownable stuff to read with the lights very much on. A memorable series.
Waiting For Wednesday by Nicci French is the thrilling third novel in the highly acclaimed Frieda Klein series. Ruth Lennox, beloved mother of three, is found by her daughter in a pool of her own blood. Who would want to murder an ordinary housewife? And why? Psychotherapist Frieda Klein finds she has an unusually personal connection with DCI Karlsson's latest case. She is no longer working with him in an official capacity, but when her niece befriends Ruth Lennox's son, Ted, she finds herself in the awkward position of confidante to both Karlsson and Ted. When it emerges that Ruth was leading a secret life, her family closes ranks and Karlsson finds he needs Frieda's help more than ever before. But Frieda is distracted. Having survived an attack on her life, she is struggling to stay in control and when a patient's chance remark rings an alarm bell, she finds herself chasing down a path that seems to lead to a serial killer who has long escaped detection. Or is it merely a symptom of her own increasingly fragile mind? Because, as Frieda knows, every step closer to a killer is one more step into a darkness from which there may be no return..
|Publication date:||7th May 2015|
|Publisher:||Penguin Books Ltd|
|Primary Genre||Crime and Mystery|
Closing date: 10/04/2022
The series of Nicci French books featuring intuitive crime psychologist Frieda Klein, always designed to be specifically related to a day of the week, have now reached Thursday. This latest is as good as anything husband-and-wife authors Nicci Gerard and Sean French have written, with the psychologist remembering the small coastal town where she grew up – and to which she has never returned since she came to London. But then an old school acquaintance asks if Frieda will help her troubled teenage daughter, and Frieda is soon in typically unsettling territory as a tangled and shocking plot slowly unfurls. It is business as usual for Frieda Klein, in fact.

Cleveland Fed's Pianalto Gets Grilled By High Schoolers, Can't Explain a Crappy Dollar
Thanks for the appropriate stock photo, Chicago Fed
I mean really, it is a complicated explanation, even for Fed Presidents. And especially high school students.
The best part? Claiming that the Fed has nothing to do with the value of the dollar when asked what the Fed was doing to protect its value. Ha! Do they teach them now that the Fed's job is to care for the dollar that they've eroded 95% since they showed up on the scene in 1913?
So many variables affect the value of the dollar that it is hard to know where the greenback is headed, Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank President Sandra Pianalto said on Saturday.Blame it on the Treasury, that's hot. Speaking of the Treasury, if shred from your local Fed bank isn't your thing, how about buying a 5 lb bag of it from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing? Those guys let us know that 95% of the new bills produced are created to replace bills already in circulation but that doesn't really explain wildly fluctuating numbers of new bills each year, does it? I guess that 5% "new" money is amortized across Lord knows how long. Damn if only I were still a high schooler.
Taking questions after addressing a group of high school students, Pianalto, a voting member of the Fed's policy panel this year, was asked what policies were being put in place to safeguard the dollar's value.
Pianalto noted that dollar policy was not under the purview of the Federal Reserve, but added: "The value of the dollar is set by the markets and there are so many variables. It is just very hard to know what direction it is going to go."
U.S. dollar policy is directed by the Treasury Department.
The beating continues. That's not so hot unless you don't hold any US Treasurys and think it's funny to watch.

Rhule suspended for 3 weeks, misses ZERO rugby
Cape Town - Stormers wing Raymond Rhule has been suspended for three weeks after the red card he picked up against the Lions at Newlands last Saturday.
But, with South African teams currently on a Super Rugby break until June 30 and with Rhule not in the Springbok mix, he will not miss any matches.
The Stormers went on to lose the match 26-23.
According to a SANZAAR statement, Rhule pleaded guilty to contravening Law 9.25: A player must not intentionally charge or obstruct an opponent who has just kicked the ball.
Stormers centre JJ Engelbrecht, meanwhile, was suspended for one week after his yellow card - but he will also not miss any matches.
While the Springboks play four Tests in June - one against Wales and three against England - the Stormers are next in action on June 30 when they take on the Jaguares in Buenos Aires.
The Stormers have two matches left this Super Rugby season and they must win them both to stand any chance of making the tournament playoffs.

You can read on the United Nations website: “In a world where violence makes hundreds of families flee from their homes every day, you need to show support from the international community.” Unfortunately, these true words do not apply at all to refugees from Azerbaijan who have found refuge in Nagorno-Karabakh. The rights of Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan are completely ignored by international authorities. They explain this by the unrecognition of the Republic of Artsakh. But what is the difference whether a refugee lives in a recognized or unrecognized country? It is a fact that they exist and a fact that their rights were severely infringed by Azerbaijan: they were persecuted on ethnic and religious grounds; their lives were in danger ... The head of the public organization “The NKR Refugee Union” Sarasar Saryan believes that refugees and internally displaced persons living in Artsakh, were completely forgotten by specialized international organizations. He believes that depriving our refugees of international protection and support is a violation of their fundamental rights, and this is not normal. Artsakh Ombudsman Artak Beglaryan also spoke about this.
World Refugee Day is celebrated on 20 June. It was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly on December 4, 2000. In this regard, we invited Sarasar Saryan to talk with us, once again to find out how refugees from Azerbaijan live in Artsakh.
- Mister Saryan, you will probably agree with the idea that only the most stubborn and loyal refugees remained in Artsakh. It is no secret that many of them left the country in search of a better life. We do not have the right to condemn them, but we have the right to pay tribute to those who remained, have not exchanged their homeland for any good of the world...
- Yes, I agree with you. I talk a lot with refugees and I know that most of them had the opportunity to leave, but they did not. Refugees from Azerbaijan fought courageously and bravely in both the Artsakh war and the April war.
- For more than 15 years you have been leading a public organization of refugees, could you tell, is there any progress in the situation with this category of population?
- Yes, but I would call them separately. Over the past time, we have helped some refugee families to get apartments, someone to get a job; from the grants we allocated a little material assistance to families in need. You see, initially, when this organization was created, its essence was not as social as political. We needed to inform the public and international organizations how many refugees are in the NKR. And we coped with this task. We constantly participate in various international conferences and other events related to refugees. We are open to dialogue, and this was repeatedly stated at meetings with representatives of civil society in Azerbaijan.
- Mr. Saryan, what is the current situation of refugees and internally displaced persons?
- After our last conversation, the situation has not changed significantly: the main problem of refugees from Azerbaijan remains their lack of international status, and the second and equally important problem for us is the housing issue.
- At a meeting of the President of Artsakh with the mayor of Stepanakert in early June, Arayik Harutyunyan emphasized that thousands of apartments will be built in the next 5 years, this will solve the housing problem of families of officers, dead freedom fighters, the first group war invalids, other social groups in the apartment register ... Inspired by the words of the president and classing themselves in other social categories, the refugees turned to the city hall in order to queue for the apartment. But they were told at the city hall that there are no refugee programs, and that they cannot include refugees on the housing register. So what happens, are the refugees again out of sight of the authorities? Or will another program be developed for them?
- Honestly, I do not know, but I want to remind you that during his election campaign at a meeting with refugees, Arayik Harutyunyan promised to solve the housing problem of refugees as soon as possible. And we really hope so. Alternatively, you can follow the example of Armenia and develop a program for refugees: the Armenian government decided to provide certificates for the purchase of housing for families of refugees from Azerbaijan. According to the decision of the government, the validity of the certificates is one year, during which they must buy a home. Certificates will be issued in stages.

I think that for anybody not a secret that there are doctors who mistrust and biased toward non-traditional medicine . preferring traditional methods of treatment. And of course, there are patients who prefer to replace harmful traditional medications useful herbs. Let’s try to understand how justified the negative attitude towards alternative medicine!
Often, the behavior of people can not fail to surprise. When they fail the computer that they are taking? Grab the book “Self-instruction manual on the repair your computer”? Or leave him alone, hoping that he himself miraculously’ll get fixed and start working? No, certainly, these people turn to qualified specialists that they have repaired the computer, isn’t it? Begs the logical question: why are people so irresponsibly are the most expensive in the life of any person, to their life and health?
Why methods of healing they are looking for in the books of the “100 of my grandmother’s advice” or even going door to door-healers, or leave everything to the mercy, with the thoughts that someday you will need to go to the doctor? Why they believe that to fix the computer can only technically qualified experts at the same time self-righteously believe that you just are well versed in medical issues. Why come to doctors when the disease is in advanced form, when to return to health it is hard or almost impossible?
Every year increases the number of people who prefer sorcerers, healers, psychics and other homegrown healers, while ignoring the traditional forms of treatment. Many people collect various non-traditional recipes in the future safely recommend to friends and family, not thinking about the fact that their recommendations can harm your health. Continue reading
The farmer Valery Snigir for more than ten years of experience troublesome thing — the cultivation of medicinal herbs. It Novogrudok economy “Arnica Montana” is known to many people:
— Of course, I get satisfaction from work, but sometimes I wish I’d got in touch with herbs. For example, wheat or corn are always in demand in the market and does not need special care. And the grass requires more weeding. It is necessary to wash, to dry, to bring to the desired condition, to grind. And all handles. Try to mechanize all the process, purchased a mower, a shredder, but modern equipment is worth a lot of money (200 thousand euros). And, you can grow Valerian root, to harvest, but to interfere with the technology, and is raw no one will.
The farmer grows 200 acres of more than 20 species of medicinal and aromatic herbs (lemon balm, mint, sage, Catnip, hyssop, coriander and others), has a return of about 15-20 percent. Said that can live. Its products are bought by our company. The interest of the poles and the Russians. But they are asking for amounts to 20-30 tons, to recoup transportation costs. And at such volumes to go easy. Not everything depends on the willingness and diligence of the farmer.
Of the 22 farms that virascivanie herbs, 14 are farmer. And largely depends on how successfully the government will develop this industry. However, it remains the largest producer (about 50 percent of the total) is CSEA “state Farm “Big Mozheikovo”. Continue reading

This article is the follow-up to my article “The ‘November Course’ at Kopan Monastery is so completely different“.
Lesson 1: Modesty and Acceptance
The schedule is full every day, starting with ritual prostrations at 5:30 am, analytical meditations and lessons during the day, and the last meditation session until 9 pm. Despite the many breaks in between, I am often tired and feel overstrained by all the input. My nights are interrupted as I share a large shared room with eleven other women.
I have little privacy and just a little sleep. Still, I kind of function during the day. The bathroom, which I share with at least twenty other people, is often occupied and sometimes the water is only lukewarm to cold. The conditions are modest and I accept the compromises I am making here. But this is not so easy, because every day is different with many ups and downs.
But after some time, I start to feel real acceptance and no longer insist on all the amenities I would like to have. The feeling of acceptance and modesty is something wonderful and makes me open and receptive.
Lesson 2: Throwing expectations, pride, and skepticism overboard
Despite certain expectations, I would like to get involved in what is to come. However, I quickly reach my limits and realise that I have unexpected biases that I hadn’t been aware of before. This begins with the ritual bows every morning at 5:30 am. Here you bow at least 35 times to 35 different confession Buddhas to purge yourself of accumulated negative karma.
Skepticism and discomfort arise within me and I wonder if the daily ritual of bowing can really cleanse me of negative actions. But I know that the main thing is to practise modesty and to lower one’s ego a little.
Ritual bows are definitely a good exercise: a room full of people who throw themselves on their knees countless times in front of an oversized Buddha statue, leaving their skeptical and proud ego outside the door. When I bow to all kinds of Buddhas whose meaning I don’t know, I can create my own meaning in my mind and give it a meaning.
I bow to life as a whole that holds so many paths for me. I bow to the creation and the divine – the Buddha nature – and realise how I am a small grain of sand among trillions of others on the beach of life.
Lesson 3: Recognising your own level of experience and starting where you are
Despite my good intentions, after only a few days I no longer go to the morning bows. I realise that I’m not ready to find my own meaning. In addition to the prayers, we recite meditations, the bows are still a step too far for me. I feel strange and overwhelmed.
I decide to be honest with myself and continue to work on the basics: meditation and philosophy. I want to give my mind some space and not build too much resistance that could ultimately drive me away from Buddhism. That would be too bad considering all the life-changing potential I have found here.
I get to know many people and see that I am not the only one who experiences skepticism and resistance. We all came here with our very personal intentions and find our own ways with what we have learned.
Lesson 4: Working on the Self Needs Time to Thrive
And then there’s the karma issue. In Buddhism, it is important to produce good karma during one’s lifetime and thus to receive a good rebirth in the next life. The intention behind this is to develop one’s own consciousness spiritually over numerous lives, to attain enlightenment and then to be able to lead other living beings to enlightenment. The necessary karma is created by pure actions not motivated by the ego.
The frustrating news is, it’s damn easy to produce bad karma! If one accumulates negative karma for the most part, then, according to Buddhist teachings, this promises a rebirth in the lower spheres of life, which include animals and creatures from hell.
But it doesn’t only need serious acts of violence to produce bad karma: even small actions, such as talking badly about others to make you look better yourself or to place your own needs above those of others in a selfish way are enough. The list is long. Everything leaves imprints in the stream of consciousness that reincarnates into the next life after death.
As I have a lot of reflection time, I inevitably sum up my own karma account during the course, noticing with shock that all those years of unconsciousness and carelessness don’t go by without a trace. I wonder in what form all the selfishly motivated actions will pay off. Behind many was the drive of the ego. And as we repeatedly hear during the course, we accumulate an enormous amount of negative karma.
I’m worried about my rebirth without knowing if I even believe in rebirth. The time here in the monastery is so intense and many of the teachings so clear and accessible that the concept of karma and rebirth is increasingly taking form for me. Every day I ask myself: How can I create all the good karma to make up for the bad? And here, too, the motto is once again: relax and accept. And to be thankful that I can work on becoming a better and more conscious person in the future.
The course at Kopan Monastery showed me that everything you aim to integrate into your life takes some time to prosper. After this intensive time, you don’t know what you actually learned and can take away with you. It may take weeks, months or years for the meaning behind it to reveal itself to the mind. I have faced some personal hurdles that I will report on in the next part of this series but very quickly noticed small, positive changes: I appreciate life more and learn to separate useful from useless thoughts and to act wisely in everyday life.

Massage therapy eases the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome and increases grip strength, as outlined by a recent study.
“Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms are lessened following massage therapy” was carried out by staff at the Touch Study Institutes at the University of Miami School of Medicine in Miami, Florida. Get a lot more information about carpal tunnel brace
Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome contain pain, tingling, burning and numbness of the hand. Sixteen individuals diagnosed with this syndrome participated within the study. All of them held jobs involving heavy word processing or laptop or computer work.
Subjects have been randomly assigned to either the standard-treatment handle group or the massage-therapy group. These inside the massage group received a single massage per week around the affected arm for four weeks. They were also instructed in self-massage, which they have been to execute every night ahead of bed.
The massage routine consisted of stroking of moderate stress in the fingertips to the elbow. A massage and pain log was kept by subjects inside the massage group. Inside the log, participants recorded the occasions at which they started and ended self-massage, as well as their levels of pain on a scale from zero to 10.
Subjects inside the handle group received no intervention, but have been taught the massage routine after the study ended.
Physicians evaluated participants’ carpal tunnel symptoms, for example tingling, numbness, pain and strength, at the beginning and finish of your four-week study. The Tinel sign, which tests to view if light tapping of the affected area elicits pain or tingling, was also employed at the commence and finish from the study. Physicians made use of the Phalen Test in the beginning and end of the study too. The Phalen Test includes flexing in the wrists to see if numbness or tingling happens.
A nerve conduction test was also performed in the start and finish of your study. This involved stimulation in the median sensory nerves through electrodes placed on every subject’s index finger and wrist. Peak sensory latencies have been recorded to test for nerve compression at the carpal tunnel. Median peak latency was the key outcome measure.
Assessments have been also produced ahead of and soon after the massage sessions on the initially and last days of the study, including the Perceived Grip Strength Scale; VITAS, a pain assessment making use of a visual analogue scale; the state anxiety inventory; as well as the Profile of Mood States.
Benefits in the study showed that the subjects within the massage group had significantly much less pain and reduced carpal tunnel symptoms, also as shorter median peak latencies and elevated grip strength.
“Functional activity also enhanced as noted in decreased pain and enhanced grip strength in the massage therapy group, both instantly following the first and final massage therapy sessions and by the end from the study,” state the study’s authors. “Finally, the massage therapy group reported decrease anxiousness and depressed mood levels each right away soon after the initial and final sessions and by the finish with the study.”

(Update) Investors have used today's update from Jupiter as an opportunity to take profits on Jupiter following its impressive run, with Edison warning flows could be hit by the retail distribution review.
At 2.30pm, shares in Jupiter were down 11.5p, or 3.54%, at 313.5p after today's fourth quarter trading update, which revealed net outflows from its private client division fell for the second consecutive quarter in the final three months of the year although total assets under management rose by 5%.
While groupwide asset growth was stronger than expected, Edison analyst Jonathan Goslin fears the groups relatively high exposure to the UK could impact the group in the short-term as the effects of the RDR ripple through.
'AUM flows were stronger than expected during due to positive flows into mutual funds and segregated mandates. With its large exposure to the UK retail market, Jupiter is one of the managers most exposed to the effects of RDR so we would expect AUM flows to be more subdued over the near- term,' Goslin said in a note.
In the update, Jupiter said strong sales of its Merlin Income, Strategic Bond, UK Special Situations and offshore European Growth funds, along with winning two new segregated mandates, helped drive net inflows of £688 million in the quarter. Total assets under management rose from £24.99 billion at the end of September to £26.26 billion at the end of December, although £581 million of this was driven by market movements.
The group’s private client arm saw £8 million of net outflows, down from £46 million in the third quarter although positive market movements helped total assets under management in the division rise by 1.9% from £1.85 billion to £1.88 billion.
Jupiter chief executive Edward Bonham Carter (pictured) said: ‘Jupiter achieved another good quarter, driven by continued positive momentum from our mutual fund franchise.’
Earlier in the week, RBC Capital had suggested it might be an idea to take profits from Jupiter after its stunning run saw its premium to peer group hit an all time high.
This was echoed by Numis analyst David McCann, who in a note in response to the update, raised his target price for the company by 10% from 335p to 370p, but moderated his positive recommendation from ‘buy’ to ‘add’.
‘We still see good medium-term from the improving balance sheet and long-term value from the retail savings opportunity, but it now offers perhaps fairer value on a purely short-term basis following a very strong run recently,’ he said.
Following the trading update, Jupiter’s share price rose 1.03% or 3.3p to 325p in early morning trading before falling back.

A major new study has found no evidence that statins - drugs used in the treatment of high cholesterol levels - increase cancer rates and deaths.
According to the UK and Australian researchers involved, these findings will reassure the millions of people worldwide who are currently taking statins. The results also clarify earlier research that had raised concerns of a possible link between the drugs and cancer.
The Cholesterol Treatment Trialists' Collaboration is the largest and most reliable study of its type. It examined data from 170,000 people involved in 26 different trials. Of these, over 10,000 developed cancer and over 3,500 died from cancer.
An extensive analysis determined that cancer rates and deaths were exactly the same in people taking statins as those being given a placebo tablet.
"Statin therapy had no adverse effect on cancer at any site or in any group of individuals, irrespective of their cholesterol levels. There was also no association of cancer with statin dose or duration," explained senior statistician, Dr Jonathan Emberson of the University of Oxford.
Due to its large size, the study was able to refute previous suggestions that statin therapy might cause particular types of cancer, such as breast cancer, or that it might cause cancer in particular groups of people.
Previous research into this topic had been based on relatively small trials or studies that could not exclude the effect of other factors. By contrast, this analysis of trials provides the most reliable evidence about the benefits and risks of statin therapy.
The study also found that when comparing a high statin dose with a standard dose, cancer risk was not increased. Even among people with already low cholesterol levels, further reducing these levels with more potent statin regimens did not increase their risk of cancer.
"This study demonstrates reliably that reducing LDL, or ‘bad' cholesterol, with statin therapy has no adverse effects on cancer, at least within a period of about five years," said co-ordinator of the Oxford team, Prof Colin Baigent.
The researchers concluded that these findings are ‘extremely reassuring for patients'.
"Statins are one of the most effective known therapies for the prevention of heart attacks and strokes and this study should reassure the millions of people who are taking them worldwide."

Welcome to our bookshelf, a listing of titles which we believe are useful (and may be essential!) reading for all business people. We often recommend many of these titles to our clients and associates.
Michael E. Gerber
Michael Gerber's The E-Myth Revisited should be required reading for anyone thinking about starting a business, those who have already taken that fateful step or those who are advising them. The “E” refers to entrepreneurs, and Gerber explains how businesses are, in fact, often not created by entrepreneurs but by those with technical skills rather than perhaps business skills. This is his explanation for why many smaller businesses simply don’t work. He then goes on to discuss his solution to this problem and his “Turn-Key Revolution”. A superb read and very highly recommended.
Mike Southon and Chris West
This superb title again considers the elements that go to make a business work. The authors consider the development of a business through three stages, the seedling, the sapling and finally the mighty oak. Each with its own unique characteristics and needs. This book contains a great deal of excellent advice for any business owner, as well as those thinking about starting a business, with some controversial ideas included as well for good measure. We are privileged to know one of the authors, Chris West, and to have heard both him and Mike Southon present their ideas on stage. Highly recommended.
Mike Southon and Chris West
This book could be a purpose made advertisement or brochure for that which Insight Associates stands for and the work that we do. It should be essential reading for all business owners and managers, as it helps demystify the world of business finance and gives some excellent pointers as to how do deal with this often difficult area for non financial types. We were privileged to have read a prepublication copy of the text, and one of our Directors, Garry Mumford is quoted on the cover as a result!
Stephen R. Covey
An extremely well known title, and a very worthwhile read. The author looks at the very root of human nature and what makes us unique amongst other animals – self awareness. Through self awareness we can change the “habits” that we have and make ourselves more effective. Powerful stuff, but Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally is an absolute doddle!
From the author of the well known “One Minute Manager” this excellent small book looks at the difficult issue of change. Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see change as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives.
Harry Paul, John Christensen and Stephen C. Lundin
A powerful parable that will help you love the work you do - even if you can't always do work that you love. A short but thought provoking read!
Written by a good associate and colleague of ours, this guide covers issues such as spotting the warning signs of business failure, understanding your immediate financial position, managing a real cash crisis, and setting your strategy. Aimed at the manager whose business is experiencing difficulties, and on the premise that we don’t set out to have financial problems in our businesses, the book explains many of the principles that will help bring an enterprise back to health. A good read!
Having realised that the initials of the three qualities of leadership discussed by Landsberg in this book is “VIM” (an old household cleaning product), one of our Directors did a number of talks around this book some time ago entitled “Spot the Scourer”.
This book should be essential reading for anybody managing or leading people, some excellent ideas on improving effectiveness.

Japanese only static sit-down cabinet design with roof
Interior shot from a more beat-up cabinet. Note the unique bezel design
Following my comparison of Rev A and Rev B
of the OutRun ROMs, I've turned my attention to the original Japanese release of the ROMs. There are a number of differences and bug fixes which are detailed below.
1. There is no backup RAM.
Therefore, the code doesn't contain the routines to handle backup RAM found in later revisions. For example, the code to calculate backup RAM checksums.
2. The mini upright and standard upright cabinets are not supported.
The revision only includes motor code for the deluxe sitdown. As a result, Dip switch bank B functions differently. Dip switch #1 toggles the motor hardware. Dip switch #2 toggles advertise sound. MAME currently emulates this dip switch incorrectly, assuming it to be the same as later revisions.
3. The default scores are different.
For example, in the original version YU has 1,000,000 points. In later revisions this became 5,000,000.
4. The code to initialise default scores is called from a different routine.
5. The music selection screen is set to a 15 second timeout, rather than 30. SELECT MUSIC BY STEERING text is omitted.
6. The code to set the y position of the backdrop tilemap is different
(e.g. the position of the cloud backdrop on coconut beach). In the original version, the tilemap immediately snaps to the horizon y coordinate. In later revisions, the tilemap will smoothly scroll to a new position.
7. Traffic logic changes.
The code that determines when to flag other cars on the road as being near the player's Ferrari is different. This will presumably cause different behaviour when approaching packs of traffic. I'm unsure why the code has been changed or what situation the coders were trying to mitigate.
8. The code to set the speed of other cars when bunched in traffic has been changed. In later revisions, the speed is capped but in the original version a higher speed can be obtained by the traffic. This is noticeable at the start of the game. In later revisions the truck on the right hand side initially speeds off, but then the other cars catch up and bunch together around it. In the original, the truck accelerates away and the other cars never catch it. Without observing the presumably rare bug the coders were attempting to fix, it's tough to say why this change was made.
9. Later versions of the game contain an optimization to not add sprites that are off screen to the display list. This version does not contain this optimization.
10. As most players know, the stages are in a different order and there are layout differences in places in the original version. As such, certain routines differ to compensate for this when setting up stage palettes and sprite effects when driving offroad.
11. In later revisions, a safety counter was added to bonus mode in the main game's switch. (Bonus mode is the section of the game that increments your bonus score after completing stage 5.) This ensures that bonus mode exits eventually and presumably fixes a rare hang that can take place in this version.
12. This version does not attempt to terminate the crash animation sequence when entering bonus mode. Video of this bug on hardware here
13. There are minor changes to ensure the y placement of some sprite objects (including those on the intro sequence and some in completion screens) more accurately reflect the y position of the blitted road layer.

iCare Financial Dental Newsletter – January 2018
Dr. Rick Winter D.D.S, M.A.G.D.D.I.C.O.I
Dentists have found that they are able to provide something very special to their patients when they offer dental Financing through iCare Financial. Across the board, they agree that patients are both thrilled and relieved when they learn that there is an additional option that can enable them to get the treatments they desperately need.
In a recent New York Times article entitled “Patients Mired in Costly Credit from Doctors,” Jessica Silver-Greenberg sets out to discuss different Financing options for patients and how patients are often misled about the terms of medical credit cards like CareCredit. However, iCare Financial is not a credit card.
Instead, they “offer Financing plans through providers’ offices.” As a result, patients always experience 0% interest. They do not experience issues such as rising interest rates while on an iCare dental patient Financing plan.
Dentists in different parts of the country report that they have had similar transformative experiences with iCare Financial. Dr. Rick Winter D.D.S. M.A.G.D. D.I.C.O.I. at Hampton Dental Associates in Milwaukee, Wisconsin found that choosing to use this dental patient Financing program has helped them treat more patients and boost revenues.
Dr. Rick Winter has been using iCare Financial for over two years. Even though they don’t specifically advertise that they offer this dental patient Financing program, they have found word has quickly spread and patients now ask for iCare Financial by name.
Financing through iCare Financial appeals to all types of people from all walks of life and a wide variety of demographic groups, which includes everyone from elderly and retired people to young couples and working families. Even people with dental insurance only get a certain amount allotted per year towards treatments. As a result, they are often left desperate for help and looking for viable options.
Typically, dental offices would offer only outside Financing via CareCredit. Most people cannot qualify for CareCredit. Dr. Winter explains, “There’s a world of difference between iCare Financial and CareCredit. We talk to people about their credit and usually people say they just can’t qualify.”
Dental offices have found that iCare is very easy to explain to patients and it is also easy to set up. Dr. Winter adds, “There is a very easy application, and a small down payment. Patients can get everything done the same day. There is no comparison with other programs because iCare doesn’t account for creditworthiness. There is a huge population pool that doesn’t meet the score and they need high-level dental treatment. In today’s economy, the ability to offer Financing to patients without seeing creditworthiness has been a blessing to them.”
Dr. Winter has also seen a tremendous difference in how patients leave his office, stating, “People no longer leave with a long face because they know they can’t qualify. With iCare, they are very happy once we explain everything on paper. We give them different options for how we can break it down to lower payments.”
Another huge benefit of iCare Financial is that it has been tremendously effective in building strong relationships with patients. Dr. Winter explains, “Sometimes iCare is our patients’ last hope. They have usually been somewhere else before and they don’t have dental insurance or other means of paying for it.”
Thanks to iCare Financial, patients are able to successfully finish their treatment plans. “A lot of those people would have been lost,” says Dr. Winter. “Only a small percentage of them would probably have continued with their dental care.” You can visit Dr. Winter’s website at www.hamptondentalassociates.com.
In summary, iCare Financial enables patients, even those with poor credit, to receive the dental treatments they need. Unlike medical credit cards, which can sometimes offer sketchy and unfair terms, iCare provides a safe and effective way for patients to pay for and receive top-notch dental care.

Unlike his recording, McDermott’s touring calendar does have gaps. Busy time is the fall leading up to Christmas. From January to March he avoids the snow by doing shows in Florida, Texas, Arizona and Nevada.
When summer comes to Canada, he’s taking it easy. “The band has family so we take June, July and August off and that’s family time.”
By mid-September he’s back at it.
McDermott got out of the newspaper business in the early 1990s when he worked in circulation. His first recording got a boost on national radio thanks to Peter Gzowski and another with a feature on him on The National. His record label could hardly keep up with demand.

|Died||December 13, 1862
|Place of burial||
Allegheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
|Allegiance||United States of America
||United States Army
|Years of service||1861–1862|
|Unit||Army of the Potomac|
|Commands held||3rd Brigade, Pennsylvania Reserves|
|Battles/wars||American Civil War|
Conrad Feger Jackson (September 11, 1813 – December 13, 1862) was a businessman and soldier from the state of Pennsylvania. He served as a brigadier general in the Union Army during the American Civil War and was killed in action during the Battle of Fredericksburg.
Early life and career
Jackson was born in Alsace Township in Berks County, Pennsylvania, to a family of Quakers. His father, Isaac Jackson, despite his religious beliefs, had joined the United States Army during the War of 1812, and died six years later from disease contracted while in the service. After the death of his father, young Jackson moved into the household of an uncle in Chester County and was educated in local Quaker schools. As a young man, he worked in a commission warehouse in Philadelphia, but subsequently resigned to become a conductor on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. In 1845, he was appointed by President James K. Polk as a lieutenant in the revenue service, and subsequently was sent to Mexico as the bearer of dispatches to General Winfield Scott during the Mexican-American War.
After the war, Jackson returned to Pennsylvania, settling in Pittsburgh. He was actively involved in a local militia company. In the later 1850s into the following decade, Jackson was a manager of a petroleum oil company in the Kanawha Valley region of western Virginia.
With the secession of Virginia in early 1861, Jackson immediately resigned his position, returned to Pennsylvania and organized what became the 9th Pennsylvania Reserve Regiment in the Pittsburgh region. Governor Andrew G. Curtin appointed him as its colonel. He served with distinction during the 1862 Peninsula Campaign and was commended for his gallantry and on July 17 promoted to brigadier general in command of the 3rd Brigade of the Pennsylvania Reserves. He subsequently led his brigade during the Northern Virginia Campaign at the Second Battle of Bull Run, and later that summer and autumn in the Maryland Campaign. He fought at the battles of South Mountain and Antietam.
At Fredericksburg in mid-December, he led his brigade forward toward the right wing of the Confederate forces. His division commander, fellow Pennsylvanian George G. Meade, later wrote:
The Third brigade had not advanced over one hundred yards when the battery on the height on its left was re-manned, and poured a destructive fire into its ranks. Perceiving this, I dispatched my Aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Dehon, with orders for General Jackson to move by the right flank till he could clear the open ground in front of the battery, and then, ascending the height through the woods, sweep round to the left and take the battery. Unfortunately Lieutenant Dehon fell just as he reached General Jackson, and a short time after, the latter officer was killed. The regiments did, however, partially execute the movement by obliquing to the right, and advanced across the railroad, a portion ascending the heights in their front. The loss of their commander, and the severity of the fire, from both artillery and infantry, to which they were subjected, compelled them to withdraw."
General Jackson had ridden forward to give the contemplated order; but before he could relay it, he was struck in the head by a Confederate volley that also killed his aide. In mentioning his death, Meade wrote, "The public service has also to mourn the loss of Brigadier-General C. Faeger [sic] Jackson, an officer of merit and reputation, who owed his position to his gallantry and good conduct in previous actions."
Jackson's body was taken from the field three days after his death and transported back to Pittsburgh for his funeral. He was buried in the Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh.
Fort Jones in Pittsburgh was referred to as Fort Jackson in his honor, although the fort was never formally renamed.

Recent outbreaks of measles in Rockland County, Orange County, and New York City have contributed to the largest measles outbreak in New York State since the elimination of measles in the US in the year 2000. Over 390 cases of measles outbreaks have been reported in Brooklyn and Queens alone.
Multiple studies have shown how impactful a state’s nonmedical vaccination exemption policies can be to the risk of an outbreak of a contagious disease. One recent publication in the journal of Academic Pediatrics found that “a state with easy nonmedical vaccine exemption policies is 140% and 190% more likely to experience a measles outbreak compared with states with medium or difficult policies, respectively.” The same report found that the magnitude of outbreaks decrease in half when there are fewer exemptions.
NYACP is supporting legislative efforts to address the measles outbreak, including support for NYS Bill S.2994 (Hoylman)/A.2371 (Dinowitz), which would eliminate non-medical vaccination exemptions for children. In addition, The Chapter has made available resources with the help of our members to help communicate with patients and physicians the importance of vaccinations. Here are a few:

You don’t have to be a heavy thinker or blame your genes for being emotional, stressed and anxious amid the coronavirus pandemic. Believe us when we say – it’s natural. However, unmanaged stress and anxiety can cause some real-time damage to your mind and body. This is why we are here to teach you how to manage anxiety and stress when you can feel yourself struggling. Stress about the Coronavirus pandemic is real, so don’t try to pretend to be okay. Instead, try this!
1. Build a routine
If a book named ‘How To Manage Your Raging Coronavirus Anxiety’ existed, building a routine would be the first chapter. Here’s what the experts say about the importance of a routine:
“Your daily routine influences your quality of rest. Your sleep schedule and bedtime habits affect your mental sharpness, performance, emotional well-being, and energy level. It’s best if you can maintain a consistent time for waking and going to bed.”Northwestern Medicine
2. Workout to manage the raging stress & anxiety
There’s nothing a good workout can’t beat esp. when you can’t help but stress about the coronavirus pandemic. It may sound funny, but putting physical stress on your body can relieve mental stress. Exercising has many benefits such as reduced stress hormones like cortisol, improved sleep quality, increased confidence, and a good release of endorphins. Endorphins are chemicals in your brain that elevate your mood and help with the pain. Truly the best way to get manage your stress and anxiety. So get that lazy booty out of bed and start moving!
3. Puppy therapy
How to manage anxiety? Find a fluffy friend – because the best therapist has four legs, a heart of gold, and fur! It doesn’t matter if you’re a dog person or a cat person, petting all animals can help release oxytocin, a brain chemical that promotes a positive mood.
Fun Fact: Gazing deep into your dog’s eyes releases ‘Oxytocin’ in both you and your pet. Which can not only make you happier but also help you combat stress and anxiety effectively. Isn’t that the cutest?
4. Praying & meditating is the best way to manage stress & anxiety
When the world feels like a desolate place, and everything seems meaningless, believe in someone greater than yourself. It’s the coronavirus pandemic and some of the best minds on the whole of the earth are struggling to find a way out of it, so if you’re religious, this is a great time to turn to your faith. If not, take some time out of every day to meditate – it can feel strange at first, but stick at it to experience the calming benefits.
And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.– Mark 11:22-24
This may seem obvious, but people just aren’t reconnecting enough right now. People suffering from long-term stress and anxiety seem to shut themselves out fearing that their friends and family won’t understand them. It’s extremely challenging for them to manage their anxiety – even the most menial tasks become cumbersome.
So having a close-knit circle of friends to talk with, is the most comforting experience at this time. If you, or someone you know is battling anxiety, be sure to seek or extend comfort. Let’s all be there for each other and help manage the raging stress & anxiety that most of us are overlooking.
“One study found that for women in particular, spending time with friends and children helps release oxytocin, a natural stress reliever. This effect is called “tend and befriend,” and is the opposite of the fight-or-flight response.”– Pubmed.gov
