Born in a family of artists, his artistic career began at the age of ten in Mexico, in the tablaos of the Capital, accompanied by his father, Tony Rey. At the age of 15 he made his first tour of Japan together with the renowned Japanese bailaora Yoko Komatsubara. At 18 he was requested by the dancer Antonio Canales to join his company, and it was then that he began to forge his musical career in Spain successfully. He regularly composes and accompanies the first figures of the Spanish dance of the moment like Antonio Canales, Joaquín Cortes, Juan de Juan, Rafael Amargo and Andrés Marín, among others.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.
To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.
The New York Department of Financial Services is seeking feedback from state and federal authorities on the state's proposed cyber security regulations for financial institutions.
The New York State Department of Financial Services “considers cyber security to be among the most critical issues facing the financial world today — and one that poses a particular challenge to regulatory agencies,” it said in a letter sent Monday to the federal Financial and Banking Information Infrastructure Committee. Among other things, the committee is charged with enhancing the resiliency of the U.S. financial sector.
“As such, we have taken a number of steps in recent years to highlight and identify existing and emerging cyber security risks at banks and insurance companies,” according to the letter.
After surveying banks and insurers beginning in 2011, the department concluded that “there is a demonstrated need for robust regulatory action in the cyber security space.” In its letter, the department said it believes “that it would be beneficial to coordinate its efforts with relevant state and federal agencies to develop a comprehensive cyber security framework that addresses the most critical issues, while still preserving the flexibility to address New York-specific concerns.”
The letter lists several potential regulations. They include requiring banks and insurers to implement and maintain written cyber security polices that address a dozen specific areas, including customer data privacy; vendor and third-party service provider management; and incident response, “including by setting clearly defined roles and decision-making authority.”
Each covered entity also would be required to designate a chief information security officer, conduct annual penetration testing and quarterly vulnerability assessments.
(Reuters) — The European Commission on Friday will seek to reassure firms operating on both sides of the Atlantic that they can continue to transfer Europeans' personal data to the United States after a court struck down a system used by over 4,000 companies to do just that.

https://MamaNatural.com 🔅 Here’s the Breville juicer: http://amzn.to/Yobzho Honestly Healthy book: http://amzn.to/YodIJX
Juicing is a great way to get lots of veggies into our diets. It also is an instant source of nutrition since our bodies don’t have to digest all of the vegetable fiber.
However, there are a few things to consider before you start juicing away.
Did you know that above ground vegetables, particularly greens, contain anti-nutrients that can be potentially harmful at large doses. If you think about it, it makes sense. Plants want to survive so the parts that animals can see (above ground) contain some toxins to make them less appealing. This includes goitrogens, polyphenols, tannins, lectins, oxalates, etc. In small quantities, these are absolutely fine and even beneficial. However, when we juice, we need to use large quantities of these greens to actually create juice which can cause problems in some people.
Instead, use these greens as accents and instead stick to safer fruit and root vegetables.
And of course, fruit itself. Most is fine to juice including:
If you want to add some greens, romaine, green/red and butter lettuce are better to use than kale, spinach and carrot/beet greens.
It’s also good to blend vegetables/fruits so you’re not getting TOO much sugar in one hit. Granted, it’s natural sugar, but our body needs to still process. Some even add some fat to juices to balance their blood sugar.
OK, now to the recipes….
Liver Love from the book Honestly Healthy
1 large beet
2 handfuls of spinach
1/2 handful of flat-leafed parsley
Juice and enjoy! And, yes, this is a high sugar one 🙂
Immune Booster from Honestly Healthy
2 red apples
1 inch piece of ginger
juice of 1/2 lemon (I just put whole lemon in juicer 🙂
Juice and enjoy! Pregnant? Check out my baby registry checklist:

Welcome back to 25 Days of Stitchmas here at Stitching the Night Away where we’re counting down the days to Christmas with awesome cross stitch projects. Every day from now to Christmas we’ll take a look at two holiday stitching projects per day.
All aboard the Snowflake Express! We’re cheating a little again today, this leaflet includes both the stocking and the ornament pattern for today’s Stitchmas! Snowflake Express by Lizzie Kate was just too adorable to pass up and it makes a cute stocking or adorable pillow.
Stocking Model stitched on 20ct. Natural Northern Cross Linen using DMC #5 Perle Cotton floss. Stitch count: 93w x 139h. Approximate design size: 9″ x 14″.
Snowflake Express Pillow Model stitched on 32ct. Natural Linen/Silk using DMC floss. stitch count: 88w x 90h. Approximate design size: 5.5″ x 5.5″.
Now, I know you’re thinking that’s a really big ornament, but if you stitched it over one on 22 or even 28 count fabric I think it would make a lovely little addition to the tree. And if you’ve got a honking huge tree a 5×5 ornament might not be so bad either!

Recovery and Eating Healthy
Recovery means much more than quitting drugs, drinking, or smoking. Recovery means healing mentally, emotionally, and physically from the damage of substance abuse. Healing is a process that takes much more than just abstinence from a substance. The stoppage of using leaves a void that needs to be filled with positivity and health. A great replacement to substance abuse is eating healthy. Where you once drank a fruity cocktail (or five) at the end of the day, replace that with a fruity smoothie. Where you once smoked a pack of cigarette, replace that with a pack of carrots. Using consumed time, money, social interactions, and a physical aspect of grabbing something and putting it to your mouth, nose, vein. When you stop using, there is all of a sudden time, money, social interactions, and habits that are sitting around needing to be checked.
Filling the Void
Depending on your usage, the amount of time you spent using varies. The issue of time can be significantly apparent for smokers who were allotted a smoke break. Many workplaces will grant that same break for something else. You can use that break to eat a healthy snack that is quick and can satisfy the oral fixation. For others, using provided social interaction such as friends at the bar, instead you can try and make new friends at juice bars, smoothie stores, health food stores, or spend quality time with friends and family members who might have been neglected. Filling the void that substance abuse created is important, as many who used drugs, alcohol, and smoked are now dealing with the physical consequences of the substance abuse.
It is no surprise that many health issues arise from substance abuse. Diabetes, high blood pressure, liver damage, significant weight loss and gain, memory damage, cancer, and many more health issues arise from substance abuse. Although some damage is permanent, eating healthy can help heal a lot of the damaged caused by substance abuse. It is important to reduce sugar, and eat wholesome meals regularly to help counter the damage done. Although it sounds simple to start eating healthy, this is a challenge that might be greater than it appears. When using, you probably did not eat as much (unless with marijuana use) and made poor meal choices based on convenience such as fast food, take out, and processed foods. Eating healthy takes effort, planning, and skill.
Eating healthy is difficult for people who are not in recovery. You are not alone. Depending on the substance you are recovering from, it might affect your diet and what foods you need to eat or should avoid. Talking to a professional dietician, nutritionist, and working with a substance abuse counselor could help in identifying an appropriate and healthy diet that will strengthen your recovery.

James Knows…DVDs: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (2008)
With a bout of maniacal laughter, Dr. Horrible came on the scene earlier this year. I think it ranks very high in the list of media achievements for 2008. I mean, it was such a unique animal. Here is a three act story presented to you without the interference of a major studio and produced in the true nature of indie-film…except with actual money. And now I’ve got this handy DVD packed with extra footage that I can watch any time I want. Awesome.
If you haven’t seen Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, you can watch it for free online. Here, I’ll do the work for you, just scroll down a little bit.
There, now that you two have gotten acquainted, let’s continue to talk about the DVD.
The Dr. Horrible DVD is a real treat for any fan of Joss Whedon. Yes, you get the complete 45 minute serial that is Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and yes, that’s fantastic, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg really. Included with this release are not one but two commentaries. There’s a regular filmmaker commentary where the creators discuss the in’s and out’s of how some of the scenes and songs came together and there’s some great and funny stories included there. The real special part comes in the musical commentary. You read that right. There’s a musical commentary to this musical. So it wasn’t enough that Joss and company crafted many songs for the feature that are currently making the rounds in my ipod and getting stuck in my head on a daily basis. No. They made a whole bunch more to run along side the feature and provide commentary. While most of the songs included in this track are purely for humor purposes, there are a few interesting tidbits that pop in. Mostly it’s just hilarious to listen to though. I really hope that they provide those songs for download in addition to the soundtrack for the feature too.
Also in this release are a group of featurettes detailing the making of Dr. Horrible. These are also presented in three acts showing first the concept and then the music and then the aftermath. These are all very interesting and are a must-see for any die-hard Whedon fan. But that’s not all! There’s also a bunch of videos that were sent in from fans all over the world as applications to join the Evil League of Evil. These all pale in comparison to the actual feature, but some are fun to watch. Most aren’t that good though. The total runtime of these is about a half hour, so it’s not that long to sit through. It serves as a reminder to how crazy loyal (or just plain crazy) some of Joss Whedon’s fans can be.
There’s also a few Easter Eggs scattered throughout this DVD. I found one, but there’s apparently more to it than what I found. A quick Google Search will turn up the how-tos on these. I haven’t tried them out yet, but they sound great.
Sure, you can watch this thing for free whenever you want thanks to the Internet. You don’t have to buy this DVD. No one’s forcing you too. But if you do pick this up (exclusively through Amazon at the time being), there’s a ton of extra footage included here that isn’t seen anywhere else. It’s definitely worth the price of admission here. Plus, you’re supporting a great independent cause since this was produced without the interference of any major studio. I hope that Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is a testament of things to come in the media / Internet world. It’s amazing what this little serial that could has accomplished so far and I’m sure that it’s inspired others to go out on a limb and try to make things for themselves. Well done, sir.

Acquired by Lionsgate with hopes of becoming their next big franchise, Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett’s You’re Next cleaned up the horror awards at the Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas. The home invasion slasher won “Best Picture,” “Best Director” (Wingard), “Best Screenplay” (Barrett) and “Best Actor” (Sharni Vinson). In the film a family comes under a terrifying and sadistic attack during a reunion getaway.
In addition to our first rave review out of TIFF, below you’ll find Brad McHargue’s thoughts on the film that he calls “one of the best theater-going experiences of the year.”
Last year writer Simon Barrett and director Adam Wingard brought us A Horrible Way to Die, a tense, slow burn of a thriller splashed with a dash of the mumblecore aesthetic and containing one of AJ Bowen’s best performances since The Signal. Now, one year later, the filmmaking duo have returned with their answer to the home invasion thriller, the incredibly hilarious and insanely violent You’re Next.
You’re Next tells the unfortunate tale of the Davison family and what happens when a gang of masked intruders armed with crossbows interrupt their peaceful night. Gathering together at their parents’ mansion to celebrate their 35th anniversary, siblings Crispian, Felix, Drake, and Aimee, along with their significant others, settle in for an awkward dinner filled with all the sibling rivalry the family can muster. This, unfortunately, is interrupted by a gang of masked marauders brandishing crossbows and a burning desire to kill every single person in the house. Cripsian’s girlfriend Erin, a tiny yet ferocious Aussie, takes it upon herself to try and keep everyone safe.
You’re Next is a brilliant send-up of the “home invasion” sub-genre. Throughout the film every possible convention you can think of – cell phones not working, heading to the basement for safety, et al – is poked fun at through quick witted dialogue with just the right amount of subtlety to prevent it from straying into outright parody. It’s more straight horror than it is a parody a la Scream, but the subtle jabs at the genre are there. In addition, unlike many horror comedies that tend to move away from humor as the tension rises, the comedy in You’re Next is paced in a way that is remarkably even-handed, with random quips, humorous banter, and brilliant satire appearing exactly when needed.
Much of this is accomplished through the pitch perfect performances of almost everyone involved, particularly the trio of male siblings and our intrepid hero Erin. The former, played by AJ Bowen, Joe Swanberg, and Nicholas Tucci, play off each other, hurling insults and engaging in witty banter anyone with a sibling can relate to; the latter, played by Sharni Vinson, kicks so much ass you’ll stand up in your seat and cheer. When looked at as a group, each character had a distinct personality that brought something wholly unique and, in most cases, just downright fun to the extended siege on the Davison house.
As their situation worsens, this gives way to pithy one-liners; several moments elicited gut-busting laughter from the audience, though this was quickly tempered by the amazing pacing and undeniably entertaining violence. There isn’t a single dull moment in the film, and when you’re not laughing, you’re cringing.
The direction of the film was spot on, though director Adam Wingard failed to learn from the mistakes he made in A Horrible Way to Die. There is absolutely no reason to shake the camera so much, especially during some of the more tense scenes. Thankfully, much of it tapered off as the film progressed or, in some instances, wasn’t anywhere near as bad as it could have been. Beyond this, the only real complaint comes from a seemingly irrelevant part of the film that is seemingly introduced to inform a later scene, despite it not working within the context of the film. It’s a minor quibble, but one that deserves a mention.
You’re Next is one of the best horror films of the year, and with its acquisition by Lionsgate, we can only hope that its release is successful. Don’t let its run-of-the-mill premise fool you – it has its tongue planted firmly in its cheek while maintaining a necessary sense of respect for the genre, and the end result is one of the best theater-going experiences of the year.

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – The king Mark Lowry may have jetted for Indy Eleven, but El Paso Locomotive FC still has its prince: Diego Luna.
The teenage phenom who took USL Championship by storm as a 17-year-old wunderkind in 2021 made his way on to the United States U-20 team for a series of matches in Mexico this week as part of the Revelations Cup.
Luna made his first appearance in the tournament in the USA’s final match on Tuesday vs. Mexico and he did not disappoint. Trailing Mexico 1-0 in the 50th minute, Luna drilled a centered pass past the Mexican goalkeeper to tie the game at 1-apiece.
He reacted with the same amount of gusto and excitement that he did for every one of his goals scored for El Paso. Though the USA lost the match 2-1, Luna more than made an impression on an international level.
Luna is signed to a multi-year contract with Locomotive FC, but that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from swirling that he could be getting signed by a bigger club, perhaps in MLS. Any club that tries to sign him would have to pay El Paso a hefty transfer fee.
Locomotive FC is currently searching for a new head coach and technical director after Lowry left his post for Indy Eleven on Monday after three highly successful seasons in El Paso.

Dan Houston: Stamp of approval at USPS
- By Frank Konkel
- Oct 21, 2013
There is no such thing as a normal day when you're the guy responsible for managing database and storage services at a major federal agency.
So says Dan Houston, who oversees 3,300 databases, 400 applications and all 22 petabytes (and counting) of data collected by the U.S. Postal Service, mainly from its public-facing website and mail-tracking system.
Whether he is implementing the latest version of Oracle on hundreds of systems or supporting new business projects for customers, Houston faces new challenges almost daily. And with USPS' precarious financial situation, data and IT have never been more important to the agency's mission.
In terms of size and scope, few organizations in the world rival USPS' IT infrastructure, and Houston handles the data at the heart of it.
"With an environment that size, you don't have average days," he said. "It's a new challenge every day."
A self-professed data junkie, Houston designed and developed the USPS DMS Operation System, which features detailed configuration management of databases and storage, automatic deployment and monitoring of database administration and service management functions, on-demand performance reports and diagnostics, and encrypted administrator password management for more than 1,800 databases.
With the system, it takes only three employees to manage those databases during off-business hours and 12 employees to handle the 22 petabytes of multiplatform storage technology. That saves USPS 40,000 man-hours annually while delivering database and storage services at 99.999 percent availability.
Houston "is a guy we want to keep around," said John Edgar, vice president of IT at USPS. "He is tremendous at analyzing problems and figuring out technical solutions to what is going on, and he communicates well."
Houston plans to pursue an advanced degree as a data scientist and would like to see USPS further its data analytics initiatives.
"We're good at using data to tell us what happened," he said. "But we're not quite to the point of having the data tell us what [will happen] tomorrow."

The crankshaft position sensor (POS) is located on the oil pan facing the gear teeth (cogs) of the signal plate. It detects the fluctuation of the engine revolution.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.
When the engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to change.
The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change.
Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor changes.
The ECM receives the voltage signal and detects the fluctuation of the engine revolution.
ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.

Hindenburg exploded due to static shockBreaking News
tags: Telegraph (UK), Hindenburg disaster, static electricity
The accident on May 6, 1937 that killed 36 people took place as the huge airship was preparing to land at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey and prompted several theories as to the cause.
British aeronautical engineer Jem Stansfield and a team of researchers based in San Antonio, Texas, told the Daily Mail that the airship ignited when the ground crew ran to take the landing ropes, effectively earthing the ship and causing a spark.
Stansfield and his team said the goal of their experiments, which are the subject of a British Channel 4 documentary to be aired on Thursday, was to rule out theories ranging from a planted bomb to explosive properties in the paint used on the Hindenburg....

Steel rods to keep cars from ramming in. Classrooms fortified with bullet-resistant doors and glass.
Surveillance cameras monitored in real-time. And even a license plate reader to check cars driving in.
These are just some of the features of Somerset Academy Parkland, a proposed school that could become Florida’s most advanced in terms of security, said Michael Moskowitz, the school’s attorney.
The two-story charter school would open in Parkland, a few miles from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, where 17 people died in a mass shooting on Feb. 14. Somerset would serve 1,280 students in grades K-8.
“We believe it’s essential to any school constructed today — especially in Parkland,” Moskowitz said.
School officials met Thursday night with the city’s Planning & Zoning Board to discuss the plan, which has been revised to up security.
The meeting, which ran for hours and spilled into early Friday morning, drew a vocal group of neighbors opposed to the school, citing traffic and safety concerns, among other things. Somerset officials’ presentation included a traffic engineer who said the school would stagger the schedule to ease traffic and that the city could evaluate it annually.
The board approved the plan, and if the City Commission next approves it, the school could be open by August 2019, Moskowitz said.
The school would have a 6-foot fence around the property, as well as an 8-foot non-scalable fence surrounding the school building. Bollards, or steel pipes, would prevent a car from driving into the school. Surveillance cameras would be monitored live with a seven-day loop, Moskowitz said.
The lobby would have bullet-resistant glass and somebody would check ID. After guests are buzzed in, they’d pass through two bullet-resistant doors before they have access to classrooms. Classrooms, in addition to having bullet-resistant doors and glass, would remain locked.
The city could get its first charter school which could open the doors for non-Parkland families to get their children educated within city limits.
The school also would have two uniformed police officers.
Somerset Charter School first submitted an application to the city in 2014 to create The Somerset Academy at Parkland Charter School for grades K-12.
In 2016, Debuys Property Investment Group sold the 10.5-acre parcel at the northwest corner of University Drive and Hillsboro Boulevard for $5 million to Parkland School Property LLC.
Then last winter, Somerset Academy, which operates more than 60 schools in Florida, Texas, Nevada and Washington, D.C., proposed a two-story school of nearly 98,000 square feet for grades kindergarten through eighth.
The school would be one more choice for students in the city: Most years, Parkland “A”-graded schools have had little to no extra seats for students who live outside the city but seek reassignment there.
“It offers Parkland a public school of choice in a growing community where the middle school is already overcrowded, the elementary schools in the next couple years will be overcrowded” and the School Board has no plans “to build new schools in the near future,” he said.

I have a proliant 1600 6/400R which I wanted to use as a test/play server.
I tried to applied the rompaq which seems to get stucked. I kept the Server running for an hour but the upgrade never finished.
After the restart the server doesn't boot any more. The server is doing nothing. No Bios message, no video output, no memory test - nothing.
my suggestion is that the Bios is dead.
So the question: is there any way to get the server running??
Thanks for any help
Solved! Go to Solution.

We need to go for
System ROMpaq Disaster Recovery Procedure
Follow the following process:
Power down the server that contains the system ROM that needs to be restored.
Open the server chassis and record the default positions of the switches on the server's Configuration Maintenance Switch Pack. If possible, obtain the revision level of the System ROM firmware originally loaded. This information can be obtained from an INSPECT or Survey Report.
Set configuration switches 1, 4, 5, and 6 on systems with 6 switches, or switches 1,2,3 and 4 on systems with 4 switches on the system maintenance switch block to the ON position. Setting these switches to the ON position enables Disaster Recovery Mode on older ProLiant servers.
Insert the ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive.
Power up the target server. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor will all be inactive.
When the server has powered up, the server will make two long beeps to indicate that it is in Disaster Recovery Mode. For systems with the Integrated Management Display, check the IMD display for: "Insert ROMPAQ diskette".
Insert the System ROMPaq diskette in the server's diskette drive. Check the IMD display for: "ROMPAQ flashing ROM". Then, the server will read the ROMPaq diskette for the latest ROM image and will proceed to flash the system ROM on the target server.
Flashing the System ROM should take a few minutes to complete. The procedure will take longer to complete on servers with Redundant ROMs since it is flashing two images; the primary and redundant.
Listen for a sequence of ascending (increasing) tone beeps after flashing is complete. Check for a message in the IMD that will indicate a successful operation is completed. The diskette drive may appear to still be in use, but the procedure is complete per the IMD messages and ascending tone beeps.
If the flashing fails, check for a message in the IMD display indicating the failure, and listen for a series of descending beeps will be generated. A second attempt should be made just in case the procedure should complete on that iteration. A quick series of beeps indicates successful completion of the system ROM recovery process.
When the disaster recovery process has successfully completed:
Remove the ROMPaq diskette from the drive and power down the server.
Return configuration switches 1, 4, 5, and 6 to their original positions.
Reassemble the server chassis.
Power up the server as usual.

Re: Proliant 1600 Bios broken after rompaq
I am going and try the Bios upgrade again, and I have now a procedure to recover if it fails again.
Thanks a lot for the help

Two little boys who strayed too far while out playing and sparked a major police search have sent a card thanking the officers who helped reunite them with their worried parents.
Charlie, 10, and Archie, five, were reported missing from Scothern on July 26.
Although they were thankfully found quickly, the incident left them feeling very grateful towards the police.
By way of thanks, they sent some chocolate money to Lincolnshire Police along with a card bearing the message: “To all the police men and women who helped my mum and dad look for us on 26 of July, thank you for your support and what you did.
“Sorry for what we did. It will not happen again.”
Lincolnshire Police tweeted a photo of the card and said: “You're welcome Charlie and Archie, and thank you for the card!”
A force spokesman said: “Two little boys were reported missing from Scothern on July 26. They had gone out to play and weren’t where they were supposed to be.
“They were located quite quickly but obviously due to their age, there was quite a police response.
“ I think they understand the importance of telling your parents where you will be and staying there.”

How to Treat Depression?
How to Treat Depression? Before determining the treatment step, your doctor will ask you a few things about your mental condition and also about your general health condition. Your doctor will ask you about the symptoms of depression you are experiencing and investigate what triggers are. In addition to verbal consultation, your doctor may perform blood tests to ensure that the symptoms are due to depression and not a health problem such as a thyroid hormone balance disorder.
Sometimes, when a person is depressed, they can hardly imagine any medication that can help. In fact, depression will be easier to cure if it is handled faster. Be open to your doctor.
The handling done by the doctor depends on the type and cause of depression being suffered.
If depression is mild, ie depression with symptoms that do not interfere with the daily routine of the sufferer, self-treatment can be quite effective. There are several things you can do yourself to deal with depression. Self-deployed steps are:
- Learn about depression. Understanding more about the illness experienced can help and motivate you in undergoing the treatment performed. In order for the family to provide full support, ask them to learn about depression.
- Exercising. This activity can help reduce symptoms of depression. Do sports such as walking, swimming, running, gardening or other physical activity. The main function of exercise is to increase the sense of confidence and reduce feelings of anxiety and sadness. In addition, exercise is also able to improve the quality of one’s sleep.
- Sleep enough. Adequate sleep is also very important for both mental and physical health.
- Meditation or yoga. This activity can help in terms of relaxation. By learning how to control and calm the mind, symptoms of depression can become lighter.
- Avoiding alcohol and drugs. Cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, and drugs may initially seem helpful, in fact this will only add to the problem for the long term.
- Community supporters. Talking about your problem with a group of people with the same experience can reduce the perceived burden. You can start by talking to your closest friends or family. Find out about support groups in your area.
When you are depressed, try to talk about whatever you feel with your close person. At least you can explain to the doctor who handles. Never make any decisions when you feel sad or are experiencing symptoms of depression.
In addition to lifestyle changes and relaxation, here are some commonly used treatment options for depression:
- Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
Applied to people who are held hostage by a certain mindset that harms them. For example, there is a woman who is very unconfident and dare not do anything because since childhood her mother often criticize. CBT will help her to free herself from negative thoughts and feelings from it and replace it with a positive response such as “I am an independent woman who can achieve anything I want.”
- Problem-Solving Therapy (PST)
PST can improve the ability of the sufferer to face the stressful experience, especially for the elderly depressed person. Patients will be asked to identify problems and get realistic solutions through a gradual process.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
The basic principle of IPT is that it improves communication patterns and interactions with others that can help alleviate depression. IPT helps analyze the causes of conflict with others such as contention with family members or conflicts with co-workers.
- Psychodynamic Therapy
This therapy helps understand how emotions affect the behavior of people with depression. Patients will be helped to understand and find a way out of the problem.
- Brain Stimulation Therapy.
If the administration of drugs does not reduce the symptoms of depression, then the doctor can perform electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients. Based on recent research results, ECT can make people with severe depression feel better. Patients do not feel pain when undergoing ECT, because that is distributed to the brain is an electrical impulse, but can cause side effects such as confusion, disorientation and memory loss. These side effects can only be briefly, or may take longer.
The above therapies are generally performed by a psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist.
Drugs Used To Overcome Depression
In addition to self-handling, depression can also be treated with drugs. Especially for more severe cases of depression, the above steps will need to be supported with the following medications:
- Antidepressants. These drugs are used to treat the symptoms of depression. There are many options of antidepressants. These drugs are given as prescribed by a doctor. The success rate and impact of antidepressants vary by person. Examples of antidepressant drugs are fluoxetin, citalopram and amitriptylin. The use of antidepressant drugs will generally require regular doctoral monitoring, especially in early use. Usually, antidepressant drugs take 2 to 4 weeks to work and begin to relieve the symptoms felt by the patient.
- Lithium. These drugs may be recommended by a doctor if antidepressants are not strong enough to relieve symptoms of depression. Lithium can turn into toxins if levels are too high in the blood. Therefore, patients who consume lithium need to do regular tests to monitor the level of lithium in the blood.
Severe and untreated depression can cause the sufferer to lose motivation to live and eventually decide to commit suicide. Try to discuss any issues with the people closest to you or with your doctor. Recognize the symptoms of depression if it occurs to those around you. The faster the treatment and treatment performed, the overall recovery chance becomes higher.

Best Care Animal Hospital
a1, Matthews, NC 28105
With the summer season on the horizon, taking steps to protect your furry friend is crucial. When the temperature climbs, it's vital to know how to keep your cat or dog safe. At Best Care Animal Hospital, our team never wants to witness any local pets experiencing heat-related illnesses this summer. Read on to discover a few pet summer safety suggestions from a vet near Indian Trail.
Your pet may love car rides, but you should not leave them sitting in your car in hot weather. Home is the best place for them. It only takes 30 minutes for the interior of a car or truck to reach 120° when the outside temperature is 85°. Leaving a window cracked or parking your car in a shady area doesn't alleviate the issue. Leaving your car running with the air conditioning on high isn't wise, either. Even new vehicles can have mechanical problems, and it is possible for unattended pets to unintentionally turn off the air conditioner. Your pet could even accidentally shift the car out of park. Leaving a pet alone in a car is dangerous and can turn deadly in an instant. It just isn’t worth the risk.
Your dog or cat should always have free access to fresh, clean water. This is especially important during warm weather. Like people, your furry friend needs more hydration during the summer. Ensure that their water bowl at home is always full of clean water. Bring water with you when walking your dog, too..
The air temperature isn't the only thing you need to stress about in the summer. Paved surfaces get extremely hot, too, and can burn your pet's paws. Black asphalt is the worst offender and can be up to 60° hotter than the temperature of the air. Serious burns can occur within one minute of contact. We recommend avoiding pavement of all types as much as possible during the summer. If walking on paved surfaces is your only option, check the temperature with your hand before allowing your pet to walk on it. If you cannot comfortably keep your hand on it for at least ten seconds, your canine companion cannot walk on it without risking serious burns to their paws. Consider purchasing a pair of pet booties to protect your dog's paws when they have to walk on hot pavement.
People aren't the only ones who enjoy the summer season. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes (which carry heartworm) do, too. Making an appointment with a vet near Indian Trail is the safest and most effective means of keeping your pet up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives.
Does your cat or dog need a vet near Indian Trail? If so, our compassionate team would love to help. Contact Best Care Animal Hospital now to schedule your furry friend's appointment.

Bringing expertise in data analysis and large scale computation, School of Medicine Research Computing is supporting clinical research at UVa. Several recent collaborations are listed below.
Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Analysis
Pediatricians and neonatologists are interested in identifying normal ranges for vital signs of premature babies. Such metrics are critical to predictive monitoring of patients in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). SOMRC is working with physicians and clinical researchers to write code that manipulates, visualizes and analyzes the heart rate and blood pressure measurements from the available data.
Corrie Alonzo (Department of Pediatrics–Neonatology) & Mike Spaeder (Department of Pediatrics)
Hypoxemia Index for Infants
Low blood-oxygen saturation (hypoxemia) can indicate sepsis in neonates. Working with faculty in the Department of Pediatrics, SOMRC is writing and implementing algorithms to identify hypoxemia cases, as well as the relationship between these events and presentations of other vital signs.

EAST GOSHEN – More county residents are out and about than usual walking, running, biking and burning off steam at local parks and trails.
Last year, 344,000 people exercised on East Goshen Park trails and this year during the corona virus pandemic those trails are twice as busy.
“Trails are the best way to get outside and exercise without having public interaction,” Jason Lang, East Goshen Township parks and recreation director, said. “We want to still encourage people to be healthy and well.”
So are park goers heeding the advice of health experts and staying within a protective 6-foot radius bubble on the trails?
“Social distancing is becoming a bit of a challenge,” Lang said. “There are only so many miles of trails and people still want to get outside.
“The general public has done as commendable a job as possible given the circumstances.”
Lang is encouraging trail users to visit at off-peak times, from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Jim Jordan is executive director/CEO at the Red Clay Alliance and Myrick Conservation Center. He said that attendance on the park’s nine miles of trails is up 15 times from typical.
He said that on an average day the park located midway between West Chester and Kennett Square hosts 30 to 35 daily visitors, but during the pandemic that number has increased to over 300 visitors.
The conservation center’s parking lot can handle 12 cars. An auxiliary grass parking lot has been created that comfortably holds an additional 75 to 80 cars. Parkers are able to leave and enter their cars at a safe distance.
“Everybody is doing a great job – a really, really great job – keeping distance,” Jordan said. “They are polite and there are no problems at all.
“People are getting it. They are understanding.”
Chester Valley Trail runs through West Whiteland Township. The township also hosts several parks.
“People seem to be pretty good about social distancing,” said Mimi Gleason, West Whiteland township manager. “Families are walking together but are respecting social distancing.
“We understand that people want to get out of the house and they are mostly being careful about it. The messages have truly sunk in.”
Attendance at 571-acre Stroud, 1,282-acre ChesLen and Bryn Coed nature preserves is up five times more than usual, according to Kirsten Werner, senior director of communication for Natural Lands.
Werner partly attributed the jump in attendance to wider trails and bigger spaces at Natural Lands preserves that diffuse visitation and makes it easier to stay apart.
Like others interviewed, Werner said to come back another time if parking lots are full.
Signage has been increased on Natural Lands private properties and the organization is using social media, its website and emails to get the word out.
While all Chester County owned parks are closed, the three county trails, Chester Valley, Struble and Schuylkill River, are open for business.
Additional messaging and display board markers illustrate the 6-foot minimum.
“We want to keep reinforcing those messages to follow the health department guidelines,” said Becky Brain, Chester County public information officer.
Brain also suggested that trail users carry hand sanitizer.

Russian TV commercial :
Stada distributes Ismigen® in Russia and recently launched a new TV campaign featuring renown actress Olga Kuzmina.
Ms Kuzmina plays the role of a working mother whose child often gets colds. In the commercial, she must go and pick him up from school because he is sick again, before her husband and then herself find themselves caught by the same cold virus. The video ends with the mum healthy again recommending Ismigen® to everyone.
Pr Ferlazzo and Pr Di Perri review : Mucosal immunity in the infections of the airways
In this review, supplement of Clinical Perspectives in Respiratory Medicine, Pr Guido Ferlazzo (Professor of General Pathology and Immunology – University of Messina, Italy) shared his latest discoveries on bacterial lysates, more specifically PMBL® (Polyvalent Mechanical Bacterial Lysates), and its action on the reinforcement of the airway epithelial barrier. He also precised that the mode of administration of bacterial lysates was an important factor in the enhancement of protective role of epithelium: « In fact, only one locoregional administration, such as sublingual or intranasal, will involve a valid activation of the mechanisms protective here proposed »
In parallel, Pr Giovanni Di Perri (Professor of Infectious diseases, University of Turin, Italy), warned about the antimicrobial resistance emergency, and how there is a sharing of responsibilities at the different level of care. Some new therapeutic approaches shall be evaluated, such as prophylactic measures that could improve the overall profile of infections management. Pr Di Perri also presented his point of view, on the rationale for use bacterial lysates, and more specifically PMBL® , within the overall management process of airway infections, which could result in a reduction of antibiotic consumption. He also concluded: “This not only with a view to less resorting to antibiotic therapy, but also in consideration of how PMBL® can now affect the prevention of even a single infectious episode affecting the airways in the economy of a precarious balance in which many of the patients find themselves in old age and / or with multiple chronic comorbidities.”
You can access the review by following the link: https://ecm.medmaps.it/view/news
Dr Cho’s new book – God of immunity:
In this excerpt, Dr Cho (Professor of CHA University Hospital, Korea) explains how Ismigen®, a sublingual immunomodulator can enhance secretory IgA, allowing to prevent respiratory tract infections. He also hypothesized that such medicine could help to prevent respiratory related diseases from PM2.5, air particles less than 2.5 µm pollution, which is an important health concern in Korea.

I must say that, since opening the shop and learning to knit (I know, that sounds a bit backwards, doesn't it? Opening a yarn shop and THEN learning to knit? But I didn't know it would be a yarn shop when I opened, it just kinda evolved...) I've been knitting much more than I have been quilting. That and making class samples for all my kids' sewing classes. But last night, I was tidying my sewing room at home and realized that I couldn't properly close the drawer with the blue fabrics in it. Honestly, I don't use blues very often. So, what's a gal to do but make a blue quilt? I had inspiration for a quick and easy quilt from the Emerald Waves quilt in the April/May 2014 McCall's Quick Quilts issue, and tweaked it to make it work for yardage of white that I had. I targeted all the smaller pieces of blue in the drawer, cutting what I needed for the quilt and then cutting the rest into scrap squares for future scrap projects. I'm happy to report that the blue drawer has now been tamed! I got 14 of the 50 blocks I plan to make completed. At this rate, I should be finished with the top by the end of the week!
|The blue fabrics just won't fit in the drawer anymore.|
|See my inspiration photo? And I cut my scraps to every size between 1.5" square and 5" square for future projects.|
|So far, so good. Although I don't like it as much as the original green quilt - I LOVE GREEN!|

In 2015, Nigerian business magnate Aliko Dangote approached Mr Raval with a proposal to acquire part of the Devki empire as a means of accessing the East African market, an offer which the latter turned down.

Tanzanians are said to be keen on the developments in Kenya hoping that with a resolution, the firm can be cross-listed and open up an opportunity to own a stake in the company. “The signing of this transaction marks an important moment for the delivery of our mandate as Joint Administrators of ARM Cement to realise value for the creditors, ensure continuity for the business and its suppliers and in the process safeguard the jobs of its employees through a going concern sale,” said George Weru, one of the administrator for ARM Cement. ARM also has operations in Rwanda as well as some interests, in the form of unexploited mineral deposits, in South Africa.

Mobility 2.0 meters
The introduction of a new and unknown dimension of analysis in the business models of mobility and transport - social distance - has been put into practice following the recommendations of the WHO and the General Directions of Health.
The introduction of a new and unknown dimension of analysis in the business models of mobility and transport - social distancing - has been put into practice following the recommendations of the WHO and the General Directions of Health that take into account factors that have to do with the conditions of propagation, or the need to contain the spread of contagion, without, however, taking into account the assumptions of the business model in which the context of the application is primarily inserted.
Without questioning the goodness and necessity of the recommendations of the public health authorities, it is important that the various sectors adapt and understand how they can continue the business. That is why, at this point in time, talking about recovery or sustainability involves resilience - the new buzzword - and why?
Because it is enough to look at one of the measures proposed by the European Commission in the package published on May 13 - "increasing and adapting the operational frequency, as well as readjusting the lines, in order to allow a minimum safety distance in case of an increase in the number of passengers and in order to better serve certain destinations (for example, when demand is particularly high)" to realize that this means rewriting from scratch the transport service provision contract to which the operator is bound, whether in terms of service coverage or compliance with the various contracted SLAs.
The implementation of these recommendations adds to operational costs, given the periodic need for disinfection of vehicles and facilities, the eventual cabin-keeping of drivers, the control of passenger access, the virtualization of ticketing.
And all this, while demand remains abnormally low, even after the mandatory confinement is over.
The latest data for AML shows a 70% drop in demand compared to the same period last year, pre-covid. Meanwhile, traffic on the freeways is growing at a rate of 10% per week and is currently at 80% of the same period.
This is without the overwhelming majority of schools being open, and with much of the tertiary sector telecommuting, which means that after the summer we will see increasing pressure from individual transport, even with the economy running at "half speed".
Reflecting on the way routes and stops are planned, in a fixed way, one realizes that current management models have to adapt, I would even say in real time, to cope with the volatility of demand and to minimize operational waste from empty runs, so that transportation services can survive and continue to operate.
All shopping malls, soccer stadiums, congress centers, tourist sites, which until now were seen as demand-generating poles, have bus stops and often Metro stops associated with them. But where is the demand today? And when will it return to the desired values?
This means that the adaptability of the system cannot be dependent on rigid models that are based on traditional origin-destination matrix configurations, because the assumptions of these models have been profoundly changed by reality.
Even if it were possible to reconvert these models and introduce a whole new set of variables that social remoteness implies, where is the data to feed them?
The decision support for fleet management, routes, and route frequency will have to be based on other forms of business intelligence that are much more agile and effective.
Without advocating the total conversion of regular transport into on-demand transport, common sense and some open-mindedness would allow us to consider alternative scenarios and promote pilots, taking into account the flexibility of service, routes and schedules so that the sector can think about reformulating its own business models and logic, in a much more flexible, adaptable and resilient to change, which reinforces the need to invest in digital transformation.
The focus on improving the supply of public transport, support for micro-mobility, whether shared or not, intelligent parking management as a way to manage traffic and the promotion of multimodality should be priorities to preserve for a transition that we want to be sustainable and "green".
Public space, being the scarcest resource in the city, must be given back to the pedestrian, to shared public transportation and to soft modes.
Mobility 2.0... meters - digital and socially detached - can be seen as that great opportunity to restructure the physical space, making its use more flexible, while enhancing its more efficient and intelligent use supported by the digital component.
If a city wants to close part of its streets at 5pm to make room for people and bicycles to circulate safely home, or to make more space for esplanades and pop-up street commerce events, this should be possible without dramatically compromising the performance of other mobility systems in the vicinity, as long as information flows in advance and can be integrated into multimodal journey planners and real-time navigation systems.
This flexibility of the use of physical infrastructure and the adaptability of transportation systems means resilience.

Every day in Haiti kids are dying of malnutrition, diarrhea, and physical injuries. Only 54% of Haitians even have access to clean drinking water. The country is being rapidly deforested in order to provide fuel for the people, this leads to infertile soil which leads to malnutrition and starvation. Thousands of mothers are dying from child birth, and the country has an 8.4% infant mortality rate! Half the population lives on $1 per day.
It is hard to believe that this can be happening while we sit in our homes complaining about the weather and how we have not eaten for hours because we were so busy. However it IS happening and the desperate call for aid has never been greater.
Real Hope for Haiti Rescue Center is helping to answer that call. RHFH started in 1999 with a severely burned child. They began taking in more sick and injured children and in 2002 the rescue center began. They now have 60 children with various illnesses and injuries and also run a rescue clinic. RHFH is doing amazing things to help the children of Haiti and have saved countless lives. I will be volunteering with them on my trip to Haiti. (http://haitirescuecenter.wordpress.com)

John Polanyi is a Nobel laureate at the University of Toronto who has written widely on the dangers of nuclear war.
The UN Treaty to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons is law for 61 states, and it awaits ratification in 28 more, totalling almost half the countries in the world. The first meeting of these states is scheduled to take place in Vienna later this week.
Missing, however, will be every country with a nuclear weapon. Canada, a member of NATO, will also be among those not present.
This is inconsistent with our history. Was it merely by chance that Canada opposed stationing any nuclear weapons on its soil? Was it also by chance that, after a countrywide debate in 2005, we rejected the protection of U.S. national missile defence?
It seems far likelier that Canadians take a longer view of our security, believing that the better path lies in international restraint, given the devastating power of nuclear weapons. Our first priority should be to support the United Nations when it calls for the prohibition of the most destructive weapons the world has ever known.
So why, then, have we failed to support the TPNW? Is it because of conventional thinking in a transformed world?
In a single century, the nuclear age has already passed through three phases: It began with a U.S. nuclear monopoly, which was then transformed into bilateral U.S.-Soviet deterrence, and now stands at the brink of an era of multiple superpowers. But it all began with science. A century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus at Montreal’s McGill University, before going to Manchester, Britain, where he proposed nuclear fission. There, in 1935, my father, Michael Polanyi, collaborated with another émigré scientist, Leo Szilard, and they – arrayed in deck chairs in the garden of the house “Kenmore” in Didsbury Park – speculated about the temperature of a nuclear explosion. In one telegram, Dr. Szilard had to correct their estimates: “Miscalculated temperature yesterday by taking 4 instead of 10000 [10 to power four] as exponent of 2 stop temperature obviously about thousand to ten thousand million centigrade. Kind regards, Szilard.” They had the foresight to keep the message.
Five years later, in 1940, Dr. Szilard extracted a grant of US$5,000 from president Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s government for research on atomic bombs. The first two bombs were completed at a cost of US$2-billion in 1945, then dropped, without warning, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. This act of genocide killed 200,000 people.
The new weapon was then followed by a greater horror: the hydrogen-bomb, a thousand times more powerful than an atomic bomb. This time, in 1949, the scientists’ opinions were asked. They spoke unanimously against a crash program for the hydrogen bomb. Restraint, we learned, was possible.
But president Harry Truman rejected the scientists’ advice. Ever since, we have lived on the brink of Armageddon.
In the first phase of our nuclear age, with only a single nuclear power, stability was already in doubt. Some urged the U.S. to attack Russia before it got the bomb. In the 1948 diary of British diplomat and politician Harold Nicolson, we have a record of this thinking: “Vita [Sackville-West] and I discuss after dinner whether Bertie Russell was right in stating that we should make war on Russia while we have the atomic bomb and they have not,” referring to Bertrand Russell, then Britain’s leading pacifist. “... I think it is probably true that Russia is preparing for the final battle for world mastery. But there remains a doubt. There is a chance that the danger may pass and peace can be secured by peace. To make war in defiance of that one chance is to commit a crime. Better to be wiped out by the crime of others than to preserve ourselves by committing a deliberate crime of our own.”
What followed that dinner was, as Winston Churchill put it, a peace that is “the sturdy child of terror.” But the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 threw all that in doubt.
Today, the bipolar standoff is an even more fraught multipolar one. Satellite observation shows China approaching nuclear parity with the U.S. and Russia, and so we must prepare for a world in which one superpower tries to deter two. Can three gunmen – two of them dictators, all with a strong incentive to shoot first – survive this Wild West shootout? The stakes have never been so high, since soot from nuclear war can bring nuclear winter.
The nuclear powers have responded by speaking of “modernization,” introducing a lexicon of AI, hypersonics and cyber. But the fact is, our future depends instead on the visionaries of the new treaty, blocking the path to war with clearly criminal weapons. The Vienna meeting gives us the opportunity to change course.

Runner and cross-country skier, she was one of two high school girls who sued the Minnesota State High School League in 1972, leading to one of the first federal court decisions supporting equal rights in high school sports.
She was just a slight eighth-grader under a storm of dark, frizzy hair.
Inside, Toni St. Pierre was fierce. “A pistol,” recalled Patrick Lanin, retired track coach and science teacher at Hopkins West Junior High School.
It was the late 1960s when she broke the school record for a timed run during phy ed class. Lanin pulled her aside and urged her to keep at it, even though only boys were on the cross-country team. She was skeptical, but agreed to an informal training program.
At a state amateur meet, she beat older competitors, including women from the University of Minnesota. At 15 or 16, she began working out with Lanin’s junior varsity cross-country team. If opposing boys’ coaches didn’t object, St. Pierre ran for Hopkins in meets.
It wasn’t the same as having a girls’ team, but St. Pierre threw herself into practices.
One fall day, she was running training loops with the team at Meadowbrook Golf Course. The pack of boys had hair as long as she did, but Lanin could pick her out, running with her peculiarly short but efficient stride.
Then some of the boys began detouring and fooling around.
St. Pierre split off from the group and sprinted up to Lanin. Tears running down her cheeks, fists clenched, the wiry teenager was in a fury.
“Those guys are cutting the course!” she snapped. “They aren’t competing!”
“She was just smoking that they weren’t putting the effort out,” Lanin said from his home near Brainerd. “That’s how intense she was. For her, it was a race.”

Why Do Brood Mares Develop Colic?
Any mother knows that giving birth is a painful process, but imagine if shortly afterwards, your bowel twisted, causing you excruciating pain?
That’s exactly what happens in up to 10 percent of mares after they give birth. With Morris Animal Foundation funding, veterinary scientists hoped to find out why this painful and sometimes fatal condition—known as colic—occurs and how it can be prevented.
They suspected that an imbalance of fatty acids and calcium was to blame, so they compared blood and stool samples from healthy broodmares with those that developed colic.
Sure enough, Dr. Susan Holcombe and her colleagues from Michigan State University discovered that high blood levels of fatty acid and low levels of calcium may increase a mare’s risk of developing colic after foaling. The team also learned that a mare’s gut bacteria changes just before she develops colic.
These findings indicate that monitoring these factors could help veterinarians identify at-risk mares and implement prevention strategies.
Preventing colic would be one less thing for these new mommas to worry about.
