Words of Comfort and hope in a time of Bereavement
Trying to come to terms with the loss of a loved one is surely the most painful of life’s experiences. Regardless what sorrow and heartache you feel God knows and understands our grief, He wants to embrace us with His love and comfort our broken hearts. As we read through these passages God’s hand is stretched out to reassure us as he says; “Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid” John 14:27
|A Higher Purpose|
| ecause we live in a fallen world, life inevitably includes sorrow. When sin entered the human race, it brought death, physical death and spiritual death with all the accompanying ramifications. Death or loss of anything we value causes grief. However, God has a higher purpose for His people, and He is faithful to use our most painful times to mature us, to draw us into closer dependence on Him.

|esus was a strong man in a new way. He was at once very weak & very strong. He was not ashamed to shed tears over Jerusalem, whom He wanted to gather like a hen her chicks; He was not afraid to weep publicly at the raising of Lazarus; and He was not afraid to show His agony in Gethsemane. All this did not make for a”strong” man in the worldly sense. Yet Jesus’ love was so strong that He was able to suffer the most terrible pain and godforsakenness and in His strength He completed the task given Him by his Father. In True weakness we become powerless and in true powerlessness we find strength. That is the secret.

|Easter Message 2008|
|n his farewell discourse, Jesus announced his imminent death and resurrection to his disciples with these mysterious words: “I go away, and I will come to you”. Dying is a “going away”. In the case of our own death, the “going away is definitive, there is no return. For Jesus, on the other hand, his going ushers in a completely new and greater way of being present. By dying he enters into the love of the Father. His dying is an act of love. Love however is immortal. Therefore, His going away is transformed into a new coming, in- to a form of presence which reaches deeper and does not come to an end. Pope Benedict XVI Easter Vigil Homily 2008|
|God Handles Our Frustration
The Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces… Isaiah 25:8 (NKJV)
|hough we know God is not to blame for any death, so many times it seems that He turns a blind eye by allowing His permissive will to occur. He stands dead-center when we are looking for a target. I’m convinced that God loves us so much that He is willing to take the blame, to absorb our anger when we need a punching bag. I think He’d rather us yelling at Him than not speaking at all.

|ou can talk to God because God listens. Your voice matters in Heaven. He takes you very seriously. When you enter His presence, the attendants turn to you to hear your voice. No need to fear that you will be ignored. Even if you stammer or stumble, even if what you have to say impresses no one, It impresses God and He listens… Intently. Carefully. Prayers are honored as precious jewels. Purified and empowered, the words rise in a delightful fragrance to Our Lord. Your words don’t stop until they reach the very throne of God.

|Learning Through Trials|
|ffliction can be a means of refining and of purification. Many a life has come forth from the furnace of affliction more beautiful and more useful. We might never have had the songs of Fanny Crosby had she not been afflicted with blindness..The “Hallelujah Chorus” was written by Handel when he was poverty stricken and suffering from a paralyzed right side and right arm. David said, “Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now I have kept Thy word” (Psalm 119:67 KJV). We learn through the trials we are called upon to bear.

|He Never Leaves Us|
|ear Risen Lord, How hard it is to see clearly when devastating circumstances fill my eyes with tears. How blurry everything gets. Even You get blurry, and the sound of Your voice becomes strangely unfamiliar. Help me to blink away those tears to see that You are standing beside me, wanting to know why I am crying… wanting to know where it hurts.. wanting to wipe away every tear from my eyes. Thank you, Jesus, for being there, for never leaving me or forsaking me, even in the darkest and chilliest hours of my life.

|Grieving Is A ProcessWeeping may last the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning Psalm 30:5 (NASB)|
|rieving is a process, not an address. Because we have experienced loss doesn’t mean we should set up house with it. When we’re willing to let the Lord do some internal surgery and then work through the recovery time, we will eventually enter the lighter & brighter season of spring.

|These Small Candles|
|here is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of one small candle….
This inscription was found on a small, new gravestone after a devastating air raid on Britain in World War II. Some thought it must be a famous quotation, but it wasn’t. The words were written by a lonely old Lady whose pet had been killed by a Nazi bomb. I have always remembered those words, not so much for their poetry & imagery as for the truth they contain. In moments of discouragement, defeat or even despair, there are always certain things to cling to.Little things, usually: remembered laughter, the face of a sleeping child, a tree in the wind or a memory of something deeply felt or dearly loved. No man is so poor as not to have many of these small candles. When they are lit darkness goes away…and a touch of wonder remains.

|Dealing With Regrets|
|omeone once said that the greatest part of grief is regret. Regret includes sorrow and remorse, & has to do with unfinished business this side of the grave. Since those of us still living on earth cannot experience Paradise except in brief glints, part of our task after someone we love dies is to clean up the regrets. Because regret is a many-pronged thing (remorse over something we did or didn’t do, sorrow that time with your loved one was cut short, regret that the dying one suffered) the main component of regret, as well as the ticket for working through it is forgiveness. For us who are left behind, we must forgive others for the circumstances of the death, forgive the loved one for leaving us, & forgive ourselves for an imperfect relationship with the one who has died.

|Time To WeepBurried under the biggest burden is a good place to find an even bigger blessing... (Janette Oke)|
|f you are experiencing grief for any reason, allow yourself time to mourn and weep. If you try to hold in your tears and ignore your pain, there may be serious problems later. God gave us tears to shed in grief, an outpouring of our inner pain. When were hurting there are two extremes to avoid. One extreme is to block our emotions, determined that we never care so much that we can be hurt that way again. It is unhealthy to block our emotions to protect ourselves…The other extreme is to become so consumed by grief that nothing else matters. The best thing to do is to get back into the normal process of life again.

|God Loves You|
|od has been intimately acquainted with each human soul since the beginning of time. He looks upon the world and sees billions of individuals, one at a time. Each heart, each mind, each soul. He knows them personally. Intimately. Because He fashioned each one individually.So when your heart is full of joy, bursting with pleasure over an accomplishment or a deepened relationship or a conquered hurt, He feels it too. And when your heart hurts because someone has wounded it or you’ve disappointed yourself by he way you acted, He feels it, too.Out of the billions of other souls in the world, God sees you. He knows you. He loves you. And He’s willing and able to help you.
Peter Wallace What the Psalmist Is Saying To You Today
|Trust And BelieveSave me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck Psalm 69:1|
|hy is it so so hard to believe Christ and trust him completely? Christ wants to give us His life and spirit and if we look to Him for only a moment, our hearts will tell us: Here is One we can trust. Yet each of us knows feelings of fear and anxiety. Something in us seeks Christ, and at the same time something in us wants to serve self and is unwilling to surrender to Him completely. But that is what we must do, for the Gospel says “trust and believe.”

|In The Midst Of Our Pain|
|ometimes the materials God provides are things of beauty,… and sometimes they are things which break our hearts, not gifts in the same sense that Almighty God decrees the evil and suffering of the world (we only know that He allowed it, we don’t know why), but gifts in that He gives to us Himself, His presence, His never failing love in the midst of our pain. We may offer up those very pains, those inexplicable catastrophes that battle us to silence. We may even give Him our broken hearts, for the sacrifices of God, we are told, are “a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart.” All of it, the gladness and the sorrow, material for sacrifice, given “day by day without fail.” For one who has made thanksgiving the habit of his life, the morning prayer will be: “Lord, what will you give me today to offer back to You?”

|God Promises Mercy|
|hen a person reacts positively to a tragedy, thats a miracle. Psalm 23 concludes with the glorious line: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” That’s God’s way of saying that life will often be filled with goodness, but that even when God’s goodness can’t be seen, His mercy can be experienced. In the midst of tears, heartbreak, enormous loss and a terrible sorrow, suddenly a sweet mood, like a gentle kiss,will touch your wounded heart. That experience is called mercy. It comes as an expression of God’s love. The good news I have for you is: God promises mercy adequate enough to meet any tragedy.
Robert Schuller The Be Happy Attitudes
|Easter Message 2010|
|n ancient Jewish legend from the apocryphal book: “The life of Adam and Eve” lays bare the whole of humanity’s anguish at the destiny of illness, pain and death that has been imposed upon us. Man’s resistance to death becomes evident,- somewhere people have constantly thought; there must be some cure for death. Sooner or later it should be possible to find the remedy not only for this or that illness, but for our ultimate destiny – for death itself. Surely the medicine of immortality must exist. Indeed the cure for death does exist. Christ is the tree of life, once more within our reach. If we remain close to him, then we have life. Hence during this night of ressurection, with all our hearts we shall sing the alleluia, the song of joy that has no need of words.Joy cannot be commanded ,it can only be given. The risen Lord gives us joy: true life. We are already held forever in the love of the One to whom all power in Heaven and on earth has been given.
Pope Benedict XVI Easter Vigil Homily, 2010
|Faith And TearsNo one can travel down the road of our wounds for us.. Robert A. Williams|
|oesn’t faith dry all tears? Religious people sometimes mishandle their own grief and the grief of others by thinking that faith and tears don’t mix. A sturdy faith in God and a firm belief in the promise of life eternal, this reason, should keep us from weeping or giving way to grief. But grief is not a denial of faith. The shortest verse in the Bible is found in John 11:35. It states simply: “Jesus wept.”
Haddon W. Robinson Grief
|he very best prescription for banishing worry is found in Psalm 37:5 “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.” Think of the things you do not worry about. Perhaps you never worry about whether you’ll be able to get water out of the faucet in your kitchen, or maybe you do not worry about a tree falling on your house. Now ask yourself why you do not worry about such things. Is it because, in the case of running water, it has always been there every time you wanted it, or that a tree has never fallen on your house before? Certainty breeds trust, doesn’t it? We can be just as certain and just as worry-free about God’s love, protection and provision because He has never gone back on a single one of His promises. He never changes. Great is His fathfulness.

|In You, Not Around YouLook at what you’ve left in your life; never look at what you’ve lost. Robert Schuller|
|ll of us have wondered at times why God doesn’t do more to fix our problems. But our human eyes often fail to see that God isn’t rushing to change our circumstances because He is concerned with a much more serious problem, our character. While you struggle with the woes of this world, God’s main occupation is preparing you for the world to come. The focus of what God is doing in your life takes place in you, not around you.

|A Place Of Healing|
|here is someone who hears our hearts and understands even our unformed thoughts. Christ is that One. He woos us, and He waits for us to come to Him. With arms outstretched like open wings, He welcomes us. In this life we need a hiding place, and Christ offers us that, a place of comfort, a place of healing, but not a place of painlessness. There will come a day for each of us when…we will reside where He presides and hiding won’t be necessary, for we will be home…at last. Finally, we will be in a place where our tears will dry, our pain will pass, our hearts will heal and we won’t ever need to hide again, not from ourselves, not from each other and, Hallelujah, not from the One who knows us the best and loves us the most.

|Love And Trust|
|e have been shown the way of acceptance on every page of the life of Jesus.It sprang from love and from trust. He set His face like a flint toward Jerusalem. He took up the Cross of His own will. No one could take his life from Him. He deliberately laid it down. He calls us to take up our Crosses. That is a different thing from capitulation or resignation. It is a glad and voluntary YES to the conditions we meet on our journey with Him, because these are the conditions He wants us to share with Him. Events are the Sacraments of the Will of God, that is, they are visable signs of an invisable reality. These provide the very place where we may learn to love and trust. Heaven waits for our responce.

|Look For The Best|
|he stone beside me marked the resting place of somebody’s BELOVED WIFE who died in 1865 of A FEVER. Beneath her name was a line of script, almost indistinguishable. I looked closer, wondering which biblical phrase her grieving children might have chosen. But it was not a quotation; it was a statement: EVER SHE SOUGHT THE BEST, EVER FOUND IT. Eight words. I stood there with my fingers on the cool stone, feeling the present fade and the past stir behind the illusion we call time. A century ago this woman had been living through a hideous war. Perhaps it took her husband from her, perhaps her sons. When it ended her country was beaten, broken, impoverished. She must have known humiliation, tasted despair. Yet someone knew her had written that she always looked for the best, and always found it.

|A Part Of Life|
|he master musician knows that suffering precedes glory and acclaim. He knows the hours, days and months of grueling practice and self sacrifice that precede the one hour of perfect rendition when his efforts are applauded. The master craftsman knows that years of work, sacrifice, and suffering as an apprentice precede his being promoted to the master of his trade. The student knows that the years of study, self denial and commitment precede the triumphant day of graduation with honors… The Bible teaches that suffering is a part of life for us in a sinful world. Paul said, “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Romans 8:18 KJV).

|God Is In ControlBad news won’t bother them; they have decided to trust the Lord. (Psalm 112:7 CEV)|
|eople who walk closely, steadily with God do not fear the future. Even when bad news comes, they can accept it. That doesn’t mean they won’t have emotions about it, sadness, anger, even despair. But they know there is no need to fear, even in the face of disaster, because they trust God. They know God is in control of All things. God can work all things for the good. So when even terrible circumstances erupt around them, their immediate reaction is to jump into God’s arms and let Him carry them.
Peter Wallace What the Psalmist Is Saying to You Today
|he belief that love can reach into the afterlife, that reciprocal giving and receiving is possible, in which our affection for one another continues beyond the limits of death – this has been a fundamental conviction of Christianity throughout the ages and it remains a source of comfort today. Who would not feel the need to convey to their departed loved ones a sign of kindness, a gentle gesture of gratitude or even a request for pardon? Our lives are involved with one another, through innumerable interactions they are linked together. It is never too late to touch the heart of another, nor is it ever in vain. Our hope is always essentially also hope for others; only thus is it hope for me too. As Christians we should never limit ourselves to asking: How can I save myself? We should also ask: What can I do in order that others can be saved and that for them too the star of hope may rise? Then I will have done my utmost for my own personal salvation as well.

Sorry, yes new topic.
Anyway, for this kind of stuff
Android is set to just play the next episode in the series with that count down and play next episode or stop message at the bottom of the screen, so it does that fine and chugs through Hidden Truth, Close Encounters and Held in Trust as expected. But for the stuff in the first post it just plays Part 1 and stops and goes back to the media info page where it has those subtitle and audio selection boxes and it also has a video box with a choice of 1 or 2, so you select 2 and it plays Part 2. This isn't too exhausting but seems out of kilter.

Above a wet-bulb temperature of 35 Celsius, the body cannot cool down, as sweat on the skin can no longer evaporate. Prolonged exposure to such conditions can be fatal, even for healthy people. Lower but still high wet-bulb temperatures can affect health and productivity in other ways.
Ms. Zhang cautioned that the effect on health from her study was uncertain, since she and her colleagues looked only at how high wet-bulb temperatures would get, not how often the extremes would be reached or how long they would last. “Thorough knowledge on the health impact of intensity, frequency, and duration of high wet-bulb temperatures is needed,” she said.
The study was published in the journal Nature Geosciences.
The target of 1.5 degrees of warming was the lower of two established by the 2015 Paris Agreement among nations to fight climate change. But the world has already warmed by about 1 degree since 1900, and the ability to stay beneath the target is slowly slipping away as nations’ emissions reductions, both achieved and pledged, have fallen far short of what is needed.
A growing body of research has found that global warming so far is taking an increasing toll on human health indirectly through drought and crop failures, extreme storms and flooding, increased spread of certain insect-borne diseases and other effects.
But heat also has direct effects on the human body. Even relatively dry heat can be enough to kill people, as evidenced by the toll from heat waves in recent years. And the combination of heat and high humidity has already reached dangerous levels in parts of the world.
A study last year that looked at weather data found two sites in the tropics that have already had numerous occurrences of wet-bulb temperatures above 35 degrees, and many sites, including some along the southeastern coast of the United States, that have had TW readings from 31 to 33 degrees. But in most of the occurrences, the extreme conditions lasted only for an hour or two.
The effects of heat and humidity are worse for women, older people and those with chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, said Glen Kenny, a professor of physiology at the University of Ottawa who studies how the body copes with heat stress.

MxCx Interview#4 "Kanji Kinetic"
※ This interview has been recorded in the December 2, 2011 ※
Since he catapulted into the 2008 rave scene with the release of his 3rd EP on the long running Rag & Bone label; Kanji Kinetic became one of the original pioneers and champions of the Bassline scene. He subsequently branded his own breed of ‘Mutant Bass’.
As label boss at Mutant Bass Records, Kanji Kinetic has led the way in carving out his new sound, which unashamedly captures its influences from a broad spectrum across the rave scene, with the common uniting factor being lovingly engineered bass frequencies.
Kanji’s style is undeniably aimed squarely at the dancefloor, cutting right to the chase with percussion and bass fusions that will churn up any crowd of ravers. Mixing up styles from bassline, dubstep, drum & bass and more, Kanji’s productions and DJ sets are loaded with energy and have been described by Mixmag as “sheer ridiculousness that is hard not to like because, well, it’s genius.”
Q1.Where your home town?
I grew up just outside London, there wasn't much going on in my town but it was easy access to London so I would spend as much time there as possible. Currently I'm living in Bristol which I'm really enjoying for the music scene and general atmosphere.
Q2.Please tell me about your background. When did you interested in music?
Do you remember the first record you bought?
I'm from a musical family so I had the chance to make music from a young age. I played piano and drums, and was able to use a multitrack recorder early on.
Some of my first cassettes were N-Trance 'Set You Free'... Doctor Spin 'Tetris' ... and Nirvana 'Bleach'...
Q3.I feel the element of the "dubstep","Bassline house","Speed Garage" from your music. your affected to this music?
Although the influence of "Bassline house" is feel especially, what time you listen "bassline House" first?
I love almost all kinds of dance music and have spent a long time exploring the styles. I try and incorporate my favourite aspects of each genre into my sound. As for bassline house/niche, I heard it on the internet first because it was only played in clubs in the North of England (I was in the South.) But I loved that sound in particular and started to think about how I could combine it with elements from other styles.
Q4.Do you have any influences other than dance music?
Although reminiscent of hardcore and grind core of a drum beat(e.g. "Catch Me" (Kanji Kinetic Remix) ,"Bassface" (Kanji Kinetic Remix), you are also affected by the band music?
Yes, I'm a big fan of metal/hardcore/grind. I played drums in punk and metal bands for 5-6 years, so I like using elements from those styles in my tracks.
Q5.SF/Horror movie and game music are also feel from your music. Does it have influence of a movie, Game, Anime, etc.?
I'm a big fan of older video games, especially Japanese RPGs, including the soundtracks. I'm also into Asian and European cinema, horror, sci-fi and B-movies so I like to sample from these sometimes.
Q6.What time you made music first?
The first music I made was on my parents' Yamaha RX-8 drum machine - I would make beats and use the limited bass sounds and melodic effects to try and recreate music from TV shows and games.
Q7.What equipment was using first? What kind of musical style was made at first?
I started on the PC with FL Studio (Fruityloops) where I would make drum & bass. At first it was very basic! As I learned the software better I also started to make electro and techno.
Q8.What time is beginning of "Kanji Kinetic"? Please let me know the origin of the name of "Kanji Kinetic."
In around 2005 I bought some CDJs and started to DJ. At that time I was learning the Japanese language, because I was interested in Japan's games, films and culture. So I chose the name 'DJ Kanji'. Later, I discovered there was another guy called DJ Kanji already. So I added 'Kinetic' which means energy powered by movement (such as dancing.)
Q9.I think that your first 12"record release is "Shock Tactics EP (Rag&Bone)." How was the release from Rag&Bone decided? When the first 12"record release was decided, what did you think?
Jason from Rag & Bone Records contacted me through Myspace about the release. I was incredibly happy because Rag & Bone was one of my favourite labels, and I was extremely grateful to be able to release alongside artists such as Warlock, Blackmass Plastics, Aaron Spectre...
Q10.Then, your work of "Passionista /Slide Flo (Electrostimulation)", "Bakemono (Subgrade Records)", and "NLLR Mixtape 062" was released.
All the works shocked the listeners of Bassline/Heavy Bass of those days(2008). I remember very vividly.
Your sound which was not in past Bassline House or Bass Music scene. In "Bassline House" of those days, I think that it was a somewhat extreme expression.
Did you think that you would break ordinary "Bassline House" and usual "Bass Music"?
Please let me know the idea of your "Bassline" style.
I knew that the music I was making didn't fit into a style easily. (For example, the popular Bassline DJs wouldn't play it.) But I just created the music that I wanted to hear. There are many influences, often I would hear Fidget house and electro house, and think 'It's good but I wish it was faster!' Also I loved the structure and template of bassline, but thought that sometimes the sounds used were too limited. In a way I think I wanted to put the bass sounds from dubstep into the bassline format.
Q11."Positive energy" and "resistance soul" are feel from your music.(Like a party&destory) When making music, are own "thought/feeling" poured in? Or is music made in order to enjoy itself purely?
I like the party & destroy idea! Haha. I try to recreate the feeling that I had when hearing energetic music for the first time. Each track can have a different approach. Sometimes I will be thinking about a game or movie, sometimes a political issue, etc.
Q12.I think that there is "vigor to break/Destroy" from your music.
If your music has "resistance soul(or vigor to break/Destroy)", For what?
I think sometimes, dance music is too 'safe'. It can become a victim of its own restrictions. I want to make people feel something from the music. If people don't know what to expect, it's a more exciting experience.
Q13.Your music completely differs from many other "Club Track." There are originality and humor.
How to maintain a good quality and a release pace?
Thank you! Like all artists (that I know) I have good months and bad months for producing. It's important to have quality control, so for example I would rather have no releases than one I'm not happy with. For me it's important to keep a balance between making remixes and original tracks.
Q14.You have many styles, such as "Bassline House", "Drumstep", "Techno", and "Moombahton." When making music, is the style decided first? or it is unconscious and making music?
Sometimes I will have an idea in advance, but often, the track will change style during the process of creation. Usually I will try out a track at different tempos and see if there is more potential in a different style.
Q15.Your making remix for the artist of many genres, such as "16 bits", "Drop The Lime", "AC Slater", "Kid606", and "Si Begg." What is important at remix work? How is originality poured in with remix music?
Remixing is quite different to making an original track for me. It's an interesting experience and varies greatly depending on the source material. I try to make sure my style is still recognisable when I make a remix. The process of manipulating the sounds of the original track into my own style is enjoyable & rewarding. Also, when it's an artist I have a lot of respect for, such as all the ones you listed, it can be difficult to settle on a final track. With one remix for Si Begg I had over 30 different versions of the remix before I could decide on one!
Q16.What kind of Music Equipment are you using? How is your "Bass Sound" made?
At the moment I'm lucky enough to have a dedicated studio room. It's not connected to any neighbours so I can be quite loud most of the time! I use a Macbook Pro with Logic Pro & Ableton Live. This year I bought some Adam A7X monitor speakers which I'm very happy with. For my bass sounds I use a variety of different software synths including Logic's ES2, Sylenth, Massive and Circle.
Q17.Japanese sample and Japanese music are sampled by your music. Why was the Japanese sample used? If possible, please let me know the sample of "Kawaii Riddim."
I'm interested in the Japanese culture and multimedia. I was listening to artists such as DJ Sharpnel using anime samples in hardcore and gabber, and I thought it would be cool to try using them also with garage and bassline. I found Kawaii Riddim's samples while looking on Youtube for anime sounds (especially the high-pitched girls vocals!). I think it was an episode of 'Love Hina'!
Q18.You come to japan two time. Please let me know an impression of Japan.
What favorite japanese game,music,etc?
I really enjoyed my time in Japan. The clubs were lively and the people very friendly. Many people had heard my music before which was great. The live shows at Mogra were excellent - the DJs from Maltine Records were impressive. I also had a great time playing smaller shows in Tokyo and Kyoto, which were broadcast over Ustream.
It was good to be able to experience the culture of Japan and discover the similarities and differences between the music scenes, clubs, promoters, etc.
I was really amazed by the video game stores and arcades in Akihabara especially. There's nothing similar in the UK! I was able to pick up some of my favourite game soundtrack CDs that would be very difficult to find in the UK.
Q19."Kanji Kinetic Presents Drumstep & Mutant Bass V1" was put on the market now. This work is a help to the creator affected to Kanji Kinetic, and creator who is studying Drumstep/Mutant Bass. It is a very good work.
Dance music creator thinks that "Bass/Drum Sample" made by itself is the greatest invention. There was no resistance in releasing your "Bass/Drum Sample"?
Thank you! Yes, it's an interesting experience releasing my own samples, knowing that anyone will be able to use them. In a way, it's good for me because I'm then forced to make many more new sounds for myself, so that my tracks will continue to sound unique. I hope that many people will be able to use my samples and become inspired to make some 'mutant bass' of their own.
Q20.Please let me know the charm of "Bass Music."
In a club, of course, it's the powerful feeling in your chest of the vibrating bass bins... it means that the music is not just heard but also felt, bringing an extra dimension to the music. Certain bass notes and tones are felt differently to others which can have an unexpected or unique effect.
Q21.Please give to advice for a young dance music creator. How to make the music which has originality ?
My advice is to take influence from every style of music you enjoy. It may seem like a mess at first and of course it was the same for me, but gradually it begins to make sense. It's also fine to learn by trying to imitate your favourite artists, as most producers do at some point. After that though you can use what you have learned to make something new and original.
Q22.Many free download track on your SoundCloud and your will release Free Track for Net Label. How are the music to sell and the music released by Free Download decided?
Also, You have released some 12"records. Do you still want release of the record?
I like to release as much music as possible for free. But if a label that I respect asks to release some tracks, I will usually say yes. Different labels have different audiences, so it's possible to reach more people depending on the label.
I don't play vinyl in clubs, but it's good to have a release on 12". Vinyl is central to the history of dance music (actually, all music) so although it's now less common, I'm always happy to have a release on wax.
Q23.you are playing at party/festival in the world. Do you think that Mutant Bass and Bass Music have permeated all over the world?
What do you think of the dance music scene of UK now?
I've been lucky enough to play in a lot of countries so I know that people enjoy my music all over. But, the biggest dance music in the clubs right now is of course dubstep. I hope that as our popularity increases, Mutant Bass will become more and more well known.
The UK always has a healthy dance music scene and there are a lot of nights hosting Mutant Bass artists which is great. Again dubstep is the most common type of music in the clubs here as well. I wonder what will be the next 'big thing' after dubstep.
Q24.What kind of work would you like to make future?
I will continue changing and evolving my sound, and I hope to work together with more of my favourite artists, similar to the 「'Gyaku Gire' EP」 with 「Submerse」. I hope also to work on soundtracks for video games in the near future.

If you don’t happen to own a car or find yourself using ride-sharing apps often, you’d probably be familiar with Uber. While the taxi-like service is widely used amongst those who prefer to use ride-sharing apps, it has had its fair share of bad press since its inception in 2009. The company recently announced in New York City at an unveiling of its upcoming new features, that it aims to make safety a number one priority.
According to an article by the Associated Press, Uber has plans to roll out a new safety feature within the app to reach out to passengers as well as drivers if it detects an auto accident or even an unexpected stop. Hands-free features will also be available to drivers so they can pick up new passengers without the need to touch or pick-up their phones.
Uber has plans to utilize location data in order to pinpoint unusual stops due to a lack of traffic or if a ride hasn’t made it to its final destination. In fact, in the event there is a long, unexpected stop during a trip, both the passenger and driver will receive notifications asking if everything is ok. The company has also included app functionality where drivers can contact emergency services if needed. Uber says this will be more efficient than calling 911 as the app contains the exact location of the driver and the passenger.
Uber’s CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi has high hopes for these new additions to the app stating, “this is just the beginning of the journey for Uber,” and, “we want Uber to be the safest transportation platform on the planet.”
Moving forward, Uber also plans to conceal the specific pick-up and drop-off locations from the driver’s trip history. This way, only the general area where a trip has started or ended will appear rather than an actual address the passenger has provided.
These new safety measures are in response to a wave of massive scandals the company has faced since 2009. Uber has been bombarded by reports of drivers confronting passengers—including lawsuits alleging sexual assault. In 2017, the company was fined $8.9 million by the state of Colorado for allowing people with serious criminal backgrounds, including felonies, to work as Uber drivers. The Public Utilities Commission found nearly 60 people were allowed to drive in the state despite having these convictions, which included drunk driving.

Teaching dog to swim can save their life
We have a client who adopted a 7-week-old Australian Shepherd mix about nine months ago. The day she brought the dog home, the pup promptly fell into her pool. The client jumped in of course and quickly pulled her out. The dog has been terrified of the pool since, but that hasn’t stopped her from falling in again. It became clear to the owner that her dog desperately needed to overcome her fear of the pool and learn to swim. So she brought the dog to us to teach her.
While there aren’t any confirmed statistics on how many dogs drown in pools each year, the best estimate is about 400,000. Many of these could be prevented just by teaching dogs how to swim and where the steps are in your pool. Others can be prevented by having safety fences around your pool especially if you have a breed (such as bulldogs) who typically can’t swim.
Most people tell us they believe dogs naturally know how to swim, especially the breeds that were meant for water, like the retrievers. That’s not true at all. We’ve taught a number of labs and golden retrievers how to swim. In our experience, most dogs know how to do what we call “panic swimming” where they dog paddle using their front legs while never moving their back legs. In this position, they tend to be more vertical in the water and create a lot of splash. This stresses them and tires them out quickly. They end up drowning because they get so tired when they can’t find a way out of the pool.
Other than trying to prevent accidental drowning, another reason to teach your dog to swim is because it’s great exercise for a full body workout. Swimming is one of the best ways to ensure your dog stays fit during summertime heat. Our client’s goal is that her dog will learn to swim so the two can swim together.
When we teach dogs to swim, we proceed slowly, often sitting on the steps with them in our arms to get them used to being in the water. We carry smaller dogs into the water. We back bigger dogs into the pool. We never start by trying to get the dog to walk into the pool. Dogs typically can’t see where the steps are and that frightens them. Backing them in takes that fear away. Once we teach a dog to swim, we begin teaching them to walk in. Some dogs will never walk in to a pool, you will always have to carry or back them in.
If your dog’s rear end tends to sink while swimming, his front paws will likely be out of the water, causing him to splash water when swimming. You’ll want to try to get him more horizontal in the water, and encourage him to use his back legs. You can gently lift his rear and support him around the middle to do both.
If you have a pool, it is critical that you teach your dog to swim and to find his way out of your pool. With time and patience, most dogs can be taught to swim and some will learn to enjoy it. If you would like our help, just let us know, we would be happy to do so.

I Accidentally Gave My Dog A Double Dose Of Rimadyl: What Should I Do?
If you’re worried about your dog overdosing, you may be wondering, how much Rimadyl is toxic to dogs? A Rimadyl overdose in dogs, even just with an accidental double dose, requires an immediate call to your vet. See below for some of the serious side effects that this drug can cause.
Although most dogs have mild side effects from Rimadyl, there are some rare but serious side effects to consider.
Mild side effects mainly involve such gastrointestinal issues as:
Serious side effects include liver and kidney damage or gastrointestinal damage from GI bleeding and ulcers. Here are the signs to watch out for if your dog is having an adverse reaction to Rimadyl. If you notice any of these signs, call your vet immediately.
Are Rimadyl And Gabapentin Safe Given Together?
Gabapentin (brand names: Neurontin & Gralise) is an anticonvulsant drug used to treat humans. Veterinarians frequently use an off-label version (not FDA-approved for veterinary use) of this anti-seizure and pain medication for dogs. Some veterinarians have found that Rimadyl and gabapentin together proves to be a highly effective pain relief therapy for dogs. Talk to your vet to see if your pup could benefit from this medication combo. Learn more about gabapentin for dogs.
Treatment for Rimadyl overdose in dogs
If your dog suffers a Rimadyl overdose, the veterinarian will likely induce vomiting if the dog hasnt started to regurgitate the excess medication on their own. In some cases, they may have their stomach pumped. They need activated charcoal to help absorb the toxin already in the stomach. Then, an antacid, such as famotidine, might be given.
To avoid dehydration and kidney damage, the dog will need to be fitted with a catheter and receive IV fluids. If the dog cannot stop vomiting, an anti-nausea medication can be given. Your dog will not have to be sedated or anesthetized to have an IV catheter placed. Also, while hospitalized, dogs may receive injectable famotidine which is not the antacid brand name Pepcid AC, although the over-the-counter oral form is known as Pepcid AC.
4157 Dogs Reported Dead From Rimadyl
PetMD’s medications content was written and reviewed by veterinary professionals to answer your most common questions about how medications function, their side effects, and what species they are prescribed for. This content shouldn’t take the place of advice by your vet.
Veterinarians commonly prescribe Rimadyl® to treat osteoarthritis (OA) and other causes of inflammation in dogs. Rimadyl® is in a class of medications called NSAIDs, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These medications work to reduce your dog’s pain by reducing inflammation. Your veterinarian may also prescribe Rimadyl® after surgery to manage surgical pain.
The active ingredient in Rimadyl® is carprofen. Carprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that provides pain relief, decreases inflammation, and reduces fever.
NSAIDs block the production of natural chemicals that trigger inflammation. In dogs, carprofen targets the chemicals that cause inflammation with fewer negative effects on the beneficial chemicals. Because of this, carprofen decreases inflammation and pain in dogs with fewer side effects than some other types of NSAIDs.
Follow the directions provided by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian will prescribe a dosage and treatment plan based on your dog’s weight and the cause of their pain.
Most dogs willingly take Rimadyl® chewable tablets like a treat. If not, you can hide the tablet in a small amount of tasty food. Although Rimadyl® can be given with or without food, giving it with food can help reduce the chance of stomach upset.
Give Rimadyl® for as long as your veterinarian recommends. Many dogs, especially those with OA, require long-term treatment. Talk to your veterinarian if your dog still appears in pain or is reluctant to play, climb stairs, or jump. Additional pain medications may be necessary.
If you forget to give a dose of Rimadyl®, give it when you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume the normal dosing schedule. Do not give extra or double doses.
Although Rimadyl® is typically well-tolerated by dogs, serious side effects can occur. Contact your veterinarian if you see any of the following signs:
Serious reactions can occur without warning. However, most dogs recover if the medication is stopped, and any necessary emergency veterinary care is promptly provided.
While this medication can also be used in humans, it may be given differently and have different side effects. If you accidentally ingest this medication, call your physician or local poison control center.
Your veterinarian is likely to recommend routine testing while your pet is on this medication. Testing may vary depending on your pets individual needs, the length of time your pet will be on this medication, any other medications they may be on and/or the issue that initially caused your pet to be placed on this medication. Most common recommendations for monitoring on this medication is blood work, encompassing a complete blood cell count and chemistry panel.
Call your vet or pharmacist if you have additional questions or concerns about the use of Rimadyl®.
By design, dogs are meant to like the taste of Rimadyl® chewable tablets. As such, they can eat too many tablets and easily overdose if given access to the medication. Severe side effects can occur after a large overdose. Emergency treatment is often necessary. If you suspect an overdose, immediately contact your veterinarian or an animal poison control center. Consultation fees often apply.
In the event of an overdose, you can also call the manufacturer of Rimadyl® at (888) 963-8471.
Store Rimadyl® tablets between 59°-86°F (15°-30°C). Check the drug insert for storage information for the generic versions.
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Remember that Rimadyl® chewable tablets are supposed to taste good to pets. Animals can overdose if the medication is not securely stored out of their reach.
Rimadyl® reaches peak blood levels within 1-3 hours of use. However, it may take a few days before your dog shows signs of improvement. Depending on the cause of your dog’s inflammation, the signs of pain may return if you stop treatment too soon. For example, osteoarthritis is a chronic, progressive condition that often requires consistent, long-term treatment. Your veterinarian will instruct you as to how long and often you need to treat your dog based on their medical condition.
No. Rimadyl® is an NSAID that reduces pain by reducing inflammation. Tramadol belongs to a different class of medications called opioid agonists. Opioid agonists work differently compared to NSAIDS and reduce pain by inhibiting the action of certain neurotransmitters.
Carprofen and ibuprofen are both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, carprofen (Rimadyl®) is used in dogs, and ibuprofen is used in people. Do not give ibuprofen to dogs. Ibuprofen acts differently in dogs than in people, causing an increased risk for side effects. It is also excreted differently in dogs. Because of these differences, even small doses of ibuprofen can cause serious, potentially life-threatening side effects in dogs. Your veterinarian can prescribe an appropriate pain medication for your pet.
Rimadyl® is usually well-tolerated by dogs. However, serious side effects can occur suddenly. Contact your veterinarian immediately if you see any side effects when giving Rimadyl®. Most dogs that experience severe reactions recover if the mediation is discontinued and any necessary emergency veterinary care is promptly provided. Talk to your veterinarian to determine if Rimadyl® is an appropriate choice for your dog.

Nintendo’s Switch subscription launches at some point in September (We’ve been hinted to around the 24th) and will cost £18/€20/$20 for 12 months, £7/€8/$8 for 3 months or £3.49/€4/$4 for a month’s access.
Now bear in mind the costs above are only for one user. For a multi user / family set-up (up to 8 users using the same system) this will set you back a flat rate of £31.49/€35/$35 per year.
This will entitle you to cloud saving for your games, use of the online multiplayer servers (sorry guys, the free run is over – its behind the paywall you go) and access to a special selection of NES hits from the big N’s back catalogue.
As previously announced, the service unlocks access to a library of ‘free’ NES game with added newly-online multiplayer available at launch. These will include:
- Donkey Kong
- Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros.
- Balloon Fight
- Ice Climber
- Dr. Mario
- The Legend of Zelda
- Super Mario Bros. 3
Ten more unannounced games will also be available at launch (Suspect Zelda 2 and SMB2 will make up a couple of the slots), and more will then be added on a regular basis, as well as the ability to watch streams of friends’ games.
Personally, holding back cloud saving and some online multiplayer behind the paywall seems a bit extreme given Sony and Microsoft’s offerings, but I have been advised special offers will be coming to members in addition to the above.
Hopefully Nintendo will take a tip from Steam and Microsoft and offer free taster weekends once the perks become a little bit more tempting…..

What rights do you have if a garage damages your car?
A garage has a legal duty to take care of your car while it is in their possession.
If the car is damaged due to staff negligence, the garage will be responsible for carrying out the repairs at no cost to yourself or compensating you for having the repairs done elsewhere..
How do you trust a mechanic?
Need a Mechanic? Here Are 5 Ways to Pick One You Can TrustAsk for the mechanic’s certifications. One fairly reliable certification is by ASE, the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence. … Check the company’s reputation. … Look for the shop’s affiliations. … Look for a mechanic that is willing to show you the problem. … Go with your gut.
Why do auto shops take so long?
Bad weather or holidays can keep dealers from getting their parts, so that they can get them to us. We use an industry standard time guideline to prepare your estimate. On your estimate, there are times for each operation. The more time that it requires, the longer the car will take to repair.
Do mechanics mess up cars on purpose?
Some probably still do, but it is a really truly stupid way to run a business. Mechanics that intentionally sabotage their customers simply won’t last, and eventually go out of business. … Depending on where in the world you are, far more often than not, mechanics won’t sabotage your car.
What happens if a dealership messes up your car?
The damage is probably below the maximum limit for small claims court. So, take out a summons and sue the dealer. He will most probably have to hire an attorney, so he will offer to settle. The dealers have attorneys on retainer so they won’t have to hire one and yes they will go to court and win.
What if a mechanic breaks something?
A competent and experienced mechanic will notify the customer before starting any work to inform him there may be an issue with another component that is worn or damaged and it may get broken during the repair procedure. … If either of these happen then the shop is not liable for the extra repair costs.
Can I sue a backyard mechanic?
Yes, you can absolutely take him to court. It doesn’t matter if he is a backyard mechanic or an expert working for a big company. He made an agreement with you to do the work and you paid him.
What happens if the mechanic doesn’t fix?
Go to Court The mechanic may respond that the job was done right or that the vehicle needs additional work that you refuse to authorize. Prepare for court by discussing the problem with another mechanic or researching the original problem, what would fix it, and what remains wrong.
Do mechanics guarantee their work?
In the United States, you have no such entitlement. A 90 day warranty on parts & repairs from an independent auto-mechanic is not a bad offer. You are unlikely to get much (any) better than that at a dealership service station. … To a certain extent, this is a problem for the mechanic also.
What kind of lawyer do I need to sue a mechanic shop?
Max L Rosenberg. I agree with Attorney Paz. As long as you have some sort of written record putting the causation on the original repair shop from the new repair shop, you probably have a case. You should look for an aggressive civil litigator who has experience with…
What can I do if my mechanic messed up my car?
If you think that the mechanic intentionally damaged your vehicle as part of a scam, you may wish to contact the Office of the Attorney General in the state where the vehicle was repaired. This office is usually tasked with handling consumer concerns. Another option is to pursue the matter through small claims courts.
Can a mechanic hold onto your vehicle?
Yes. Your mechanic has the legal right to keep your car until you pay the entire repair bill. This is referred to as a mechanic’s lien or garageman’s lien, which basically secures payment to the repair shop for the repairs that have been provided.

President David Granger says he has no immediate plan to dissolve Parliament because the House will have to approve additional spending in the absence of a 2020 National Budget.
“I cannot say now when Parliament will be dissolved. I will stay away from dissolution as long as there is a likelihood that we will need the vote of the whole parliament to pass any measure; financial measure,” he told reporters.
Mr. Granger says even though it is November, 2019, government has not drafted a budget for 2020 and “we have to be very prudent in our expenditure. It means that if there are any extraordinary expenditure arising out of any unanticipated situation”, such as an act of God, force majeure or any other.
“I feel it is prudent to keep the Parliament opened as long as possible,” the President said.
The opposition People’s Progressive Party has already vowed not to return to the 65-seat National Assembly on the grounds that the government is in office illegally because general elections ought to have been held already.
Mr. Granger has already declared March 2, 2020 as the date for general elections. Parliament has to be dissolved three months before the polls which makes it December 2, 2019.
The earlier than expected general elections follows an APNU+AFC government Member of Parliament Charrandass Persaud, on December 21, 2018, crossing the floor to help provide a majority passage of an Opposition People’s Progressive Party-sponsored no-confidence motion against the government.
The elections should have been held by March 21, 2019 – within three months of the motion’s passage – but the validity of the motion had been challenged right up to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
President Granger explains that because his administration is an interim one based on a CCJ decision that last December’s no-confidence motion was validly passed, Parliament will have to approve funds for national emergencies if the need arises.
“Unfortunately, because of urgent matters such as a flood or fire, we may need funds and only parliament could authorize the disbursement of funds which have not been provided for, even though we are in the eleventh month of the year,” he said.
Finance Minister, Winston Jordan has said that in the absence of a national budget, due to the impending elections, government is authorized to spend one-twelfth of the 2019 budget next year for recurrent expenses and ongoing capital works.
He has said no new capital contracts will be signed during this period.

Answer: No. Departments, supervisors, faculty members etc. cannot be more restrictive than campus policy. When someone in a power role (i.e. leader, TA, supervisor, etc.), makes that suggestion, in many ways it will come across or be perceived as a directive. The faculty member or staff can make the individual decision to mask. This will often signal to others your preference.
Question: Is UC San Diego still requiring proof of vaccination at events?

Well, I certainly try to be..but I fall miserably short most meals. Don’t get me wrong, I cook with healthy foods, but it isn’t always easy to convince Graham to actually eat it! What happened to the days when he was a baby and gladly accepted any vegetable you could spoon into his mouth?
Ronzoni Smart Taste recently took a survey of moms and found that more than half of moms with children ages 3-12 find it challenging to feed healthy foods to their kids. They’ve even come up with a “Supermom” video spoof on the matter. I’m not sure if I can completely fall into that category, but it is definitely hard to add a lot of variety to Graham’s diet at the moment. What he does eat is healthy, but it may be the same 2 or 3 things over and over again!
We were sent the Ronzoni Smart Taste spaghetti pasta to try out. This is regular white pasta (we normally buy multigrain) that has added calcium and fiber. The box says that there is 3x the fiber and calcium. When I make spaghetti I normally buy the garden veggie sauce to go along with it. We made it tonight and I can honestly say that the pasta tasted just like any other white pasta I have had before. You couldn’t tell a difference. Graham ate it just like he does the spaghetti I normally make. Since I know that Graham will eat multigrain pasta I think that I will stick with it, but, if you have a child who does not like the taste of multigrain I think this is a great alternative!
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Ronzoni Pasta and received a sample of Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta to facilitate my review and a $20 thank-you gift certificate.

Chemical company BASF asks “What if 19th Century bike inventors had modern chemistry and processes?”
It was the late 19th century bike boom that led directly to manufacturing, industrial process and chemical engineering innovations, so we’ve got a bit of a chicken-and-egg here, but still a fun video.
BASF describes their Concept 1865 Project here. Here are the highlights:
- Made almost entirely with high-performance plastics, specialty foams, epoxy resin and polyurethane materials from BASF. Only its brakes, axles, and motor are still made of metal. Even the brake disk is plastic. Non-pneumatic tires are expanded thermoplastic polyurethane.
- Yes, it has a motor. It’s in the rear hub. Battery is encased inside the seat.
- Hydraulic brake.
- Integrated LED light – red strips in the rear seatstays, white strips in the front fork.

China Eastern has long lead the way with their super cheap fares to Asia. Lately fares have been around $50 on the cheapest days. Today I see them the first time under $400 to South-East Asia.
– San Francisco to Bangkok for $384 RT
– San Francisco to Manila for $393 RT
While China Eastern is certainly not my favorite airlines you get a lot of time in the air for your money. Transfers are in Shanghai and since you are going to Bangkok/ Manila – the visa exemption is not an issue at all for a quick city sightseeing.

The cozy stone structure that for generations of UT students looked and felt like a home — and that literally trademarked the margarita with a sangria floater, Margarita Jaime — will be donating all its profits from July 8 until the 30th to a fund benefiting employees.
“This benefit is a way for us to support our loyal staff, some who have been with us for over 25 years,” Tames said in a statement Wednesday. “The next few weeks serve as an opportunity for customers and friends to stop by for a last farewell.”
Originally called Spanish Village, Charlie Tame’s uncle Jaime Tames added his name when the former Spanish bullfighter bought the restaurant 40 years ago. Jaime died three years ago, but pictures of Tames in action adorn the restaurant walls, alongside hundreds of customer photos.
At least some elements of Jaime’s will live on. Its salsas and queso will continue to be sold at all Whole Foods; at Central Markets in Austin, Houston, and Dallas; and at Royal Blue Grocery in Austin.
The restaurant has set up a Facebook page and is inviting patrons to share memories, hazy as they may be, of their times at Jaime’s.
Adios, amigo. I’ll miss your green chicken enchiladas.

Birth Control or the Limitation of Offspring was written by American eugenics and birth control advocate William J. Robinson. First published in 1916, the final edition (forty-eighth) was published in 1936, the same year that Robinson died. As a medical doctor and author, Robinson used his influence to promote propaganda for "fewer and better babies," by focusing on contraception. Even Margaret Sanger, another prominent eugenics and birth control advocate, took great interest in this book. Robinson had three goals in mind when writing Birth Control.
In Birth without Violence (1975), French obstetrician Frederick Leboyer describes in poetic form the possible perceptions and feelings of embryos and fetuses before, during, and after birth. His work has helped to promote a gentler and more sensitive birthing method with the goal of easing the newborn's transition from the womb to the outside world. Leboyer's birthing method influenced later birth techniques such as water birth and unassisted childbirth.
The Time Has Come: A Catholic Doctor's Proposals to End the Battle over Birth Control (1963), by John Rock
In 1963, Roman Catholic fertility doctor John Rock published The Time Has Come: A Catholic Doctor's Proposals to End the Battle over Birth Control, a first-person treatise on the use of scientifically approved forms of birth control for Catholic couples. The first contraceptive pill, called Enovid, had been on the market since June 1960, and Rock was one of the leading researchers in its development. In The Time Has Come, Rock explicitly describes the arguments for and against the use of birth control from both a religious and a scientific perspective.
In 2019, Americans United for Life, hereafter AUL, published a model legislation, called the Women’s Right to Know Act, in their annual publication Defending Life. The goal of the model legislation, which AUL annually updates, is to help state governments enact enhanced informed consent laws for abortion. The Women’s Right to Know Act requires physicians to provide specific information to women before they may consent to having an abortion.

ANAI COVID19 Update
This announcement has 1 attachment:
Nurse Leaders of Idaho and the American Nurses Association of Idaho Joint Statement for COVID-19 & Other Updates
April 14, 2020
Both the American Nurses Association of Idaho (ANAI) and the Nurse Leaders of Idaho (NLI) wish to update their members, and all Idaho nurses about Idaho based COVID-19 issues that impact nurses and nursing in Idaho.
- Idaho nurses have been represented in statewide policy making through the Idaho Center for Nursing.
- The American Nurses Association (national) has maintained a daily flow of information to the ANAI state president and executive director and directly to ANA members via emails and website information.
- Much of the national effort has focused on crisis states in the Eastern part of the U.S. Idaho has benefitted from an awareness of their issues as we monitor the ongoing work being done in our state.
- ANAI and NLI are in contact with the Idaho Hospital Association for any coordinated efforts that impact nursing, staffing, nurse and other healthcare worker safety and for the evaluation of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) supplies.
- Overall, the two organizations have received in excess of 200 emails from Idaho nurses seeking information and guidance with specific issues.
- The executive director met with the executive director of the Idaho Board of Nursing about licensure and waiver requirements that are temporarily in place during the Governor’s Executive Order and Designation.
- The Board of Nursing has an updated website with updated information about temporary licensure requirements, the impact on students, and other resources available to nurses during the pandemic.
- Personal Protection Equipment (PPE): Both ANAI and NLI have monitored concerns from nurses about PPE. Both agencies support the ANA stance that in order to effectively respond, nurses must have the full support of their employers and government organizations to access the appropriate safeguards and secure the proper supplies. The Idaho Hospital Association in collaboration with Idaho hospital leadership, and other healthcare organizations are working with local, state, and federal agencies to address the concerns related to PPE shortages.
- The CDC guidelines on PPE, especially masks, continue to evolve as better scientific data emerges. These frequent CDC guideline revisions pose difficulty for agencies and nurses to be consistent in PPE usage and create feelings of mistrust. However, as the CDC and other scientific advisory experts’ learnings evolve about this novel coronavirus, evidence-based recommendations are being developed with safety of nurses and other healthcare providers at the forefront of decision-making. ANAI and NLI support this ongoing, investigative process and the resultant CDC guidelines that are backed by scientific evidence.
- Association activities continued throughout this time. The office is closed because the office building where we are located closed, so both Karin and Randy have worked remotely for the past 20 days. Some association activities have been:
- The May edition of RN IDAHO is completed and to the printer.
- The 2019 business taxes were completed and filed.
- Board Meetings where held remotely.
- The Nurse Leadership Course in Idaho Falls (May 4-5-6) was cancelled and another course is tentatively planned for September 14-15-16 in Boise.
- The national AONL meeting cancelled and the June ANA Membership Assembly is planned to be held using an on-line format.
Thank you all for your efforts during this time. Please contact us with your nursing issues or concerns.
Brie Sandow, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, President ANAI
Joan Agee, DNP, RN, FACHE, President NLI
Randall Hudspeth, PhD, RN, FAANP, NEA-BC, Executive Director

I've got a Samsung SyncMaster 204B monitor. One of the features it has is that it lets the user physically rotate the display 90 degrees so that the monitor is in portrait mode, which would be useful for looking at long documents. However, when I do this, there is a significant drop in display quality. Is there some setting I need to change? Or is this just how LCDs work?
There are two issues.
First, the arrangement of subpixels - Microsoft's ClearType is optimized for horizontal arrangement of subpixels. I'm not aware of any LCD panels that are made with vertical subpixels. You might be able to configure ClearType to lessen this problem.
Second is the viewing angle of the display. There are different LCD technologies, and the cheapest don't have very good vertical viewing angles. When you rotate the display, those vertical viewing angles become horizontal viewing angles.
Yes and no. Most consumer LCDs are based on the TN lcd panel technology (cause it's cheap) which doesn't have very good viewing angles. You can generally determine if you have a TN display by looking off center (up or down) at your lcd and if it appears that changing the viewing angle the brightness/contrast/color changes as well, then chances are, you have a TN. Now, when you rotate a TN, those vertical angles become horizontal angles and since your eyes look at the screen at slightly different horizontal angles, the monitor would look pretty bad. (I had a TN monitor mounted on a pivot arm and i basically had to look at the monitor at an angle to be able to read something in a portrait mode .. looking at the monitor straight on would give me a headache after a while since my right eye would see the monitor darker than my left eye. Looking at the monitor off center with the top of the monitor closer to you gives better viewing experience)
However, if you have an MVA panel lcd (or even better, an IPS based one), portrait mode would look so much better so in this case, the question to your answer would be no. Basically ... it's the old saying - you get what you paid for. If you are going to buy monitors that you want to use in portrait mode, make sure you buy one with excellent vertical viewing angles (i.e. get an IPS or MVA based lcd panel).
This site has brief description of the common lcd panel types if you are interested in reading more about it.
There are three types of LCD panel: TN, VA, IPS
These are in order of increasing cost and (generally) increased quality of image, so TN is the worst quality but cheapest, and IPS is the best quality and most expensive.
TN monitors have pretty terrible viewing angles, and so rotating one 90 degrees will give the change in quality you mention -- viewing them from anything but fairly straight-on will mean that colours start to go very strange and possibly inverted, and brightness can vary a lot across them.
So, to answer the original question:
No, not all LCD monitors do this. Just the cheap ones!
edit: TN panels generally have poorer viewing angles in the specs, so they are likely to say something like "170 degrees vertical/160 degrees horizontal" rather than the 178/178 which VA and IPS panels will state.
It might be due to the TN panel in the monitor which leads to bad angles, so when you tilt it you get it horizontally instead of vertically which might be more unusual for your eyes then the bleeding and color-distortion you get when looking at it the normal way. It's the same for me when doing it at my university's monitors and probably something you can't get away with when dealing with TN panels.
What I just found to make the big difference (and solution!) was swapping the input (DVI / VGA):
- normal (landscape) at VGA/analog
- rotated (90degrees) at DVI/digital
It took me some time, some investigation (like reading this web site) and even changing a few monitors, to finally discover this big difference. I thought it might be helpful to share this for many others to save time, as almost all PCs and monitors today are by default setup with both ports.
So: normal situation with multiple monitors, there was no (apparently) difference/problem. Rotated a screen: poor quality (like resolution was too low). ClearType did not have to do with it. Solution: connecting the rotated screen on DVI (white connector).

At the League of Education Voters (LEV), we recognize all of the hard work that you do toward improving public education across Washington state. We are pleased to announce our Activist of the Month for August: Connie Gerlitz. Read more about her experience as a long-time advocate for all kids.
Connie Gerlitz got her start in advocacy through her work at Safeco Insurance “way back,” she says, where she worked to improve safety standards for children. She worked with the Legislature to fight for laws around things like seatbelts for children, car seats, and bike helmets.
Working with the Legislature gave her the confidence to speak publicly and testify on behalf of issues that she believes in, and she also gained insight into why working with the Legislature was so important.
Connie has been involved with the League of Education Voters (LEV) since its inception, and she recalls attending an exploratory meeting with LEV co-founder Lisa Macfarlane in Bellevue thirteen-some years ago. She has also been a PTA member for years and served in every possible office. She has organized trips for PTA members to testify at the Legislature.
In fact, Connie and her husband Dennis were awarded the Washington State PTA Outstanding Advocate Award in 2006. LEV State Field Director Kelly Munn says Connie has a long and steady history of advocacy for kids, and she’s worked with LEV on a variety of issues. Most recently, Kelly says, Connie worked on LEV’s endorsement committee for 2014 elections, and her contributions were invaluable. “She attended every meeting and asked the questions that we didn’t know to ask.”
LEV Board President Karen Cooper added, “Connie’s questions were pointed and thoughtful. She helped get specific answers when the candidates often preferred to stay vague and non-committal. She was a valuable part of our team.”
Connie described LEV’s endorsement process as being very fair and credits LEV Government Relations Director Frank Ordway for making sure that the candidates were comfortable with the process while still allowing the committee to ask difficult questions. “I didn’t want to offend anyone, but I’m not afraid to ask pointed questions and follow-up questions.”
When asked to highlight work with LEV that stands out for her, Connie called out the campaign for HB 2261, which expanded the definition of basic education. “I knocked on doors, gave speeches, testified, wrote letters…. It was a huge effort by many people and organizations, and it paid off.”
Reflecting on Washington’s public education system, Connie says, “If I could wave a magic wand over the public education system in this state, I would make it possible for all parents to get more involved and engaged in their child’s education. All I can say is, thank goodness for organizations like LEV.”


Ibrox Exclusive: Pundit blasts 'Horrible' Rangers player who's in 'Real Difficulty'
Noel Whelan has questioned Alfredo Morelos’ place in the Rangers squad after Kemar Roofe and Cedric Itten both scored in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Motherwell.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider correspondent Dylan Childs, the ex-Aberdeen striker believes there’s stronger competition than for a decade up front at Ibrox.
Morelos has scored seven goals in 22 matches for Rangers this season, well done on his strike rate this time last year.
Just three of those have come at Ibrox, which is eight less than right-back James Tavernier.
This disappointing hit-rate combined with Morelos’s well-documented disciplinary issues have led some to believe that manager Steven Gerrard would be well-advised to place his faith in his other forward options.
“Look, they’ve got an abundance of quality strikers. There’s absolutely no doubt about that,” ex-SPL forward Whelan said to Football Insider.

“I don’t think Morelos has ever, ever had as much competition at the club than he has now. So it’s not a given that he plays and it’s not a given that he’s on the team sheet like he used to be.
“They have got options and quality options now, and this is the real difficulty now for him… He’s shown that petulance and that horrible side to his nature again, and his personality.
“They don’t have to reply on Morelos, they have good strikers at the football club that can do the same job that he does but a more professional way.”

Leicester produced a superb 2nd half performance at Kingsholm to hand Gloucester another home defeat this season. 29 points scored after half time was enough to brush past a lack lustre Gloucester outfit.
However, on the day that the home side would have been looking to further strengthen their playoff hopes , there was a far bigger picture behind the scenes.
In 2022, former Gloucester and Leicester player Ed Slater was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease causing his career to come to an abrupt end.
Since then there has been a plethora of fund raising events concluding with yesterday’s 12 hour exercise challenge. It included names such as former player Mike Tindall, David Flatman and current Gloucester player Mark Atkinson.
(Read more from ParkLife Sport here)
Yesterday not only tied those events together but the whole rugby community. Both teams came together to support Slater and his family as they battle to deal with this illness.
Before the match we spoke to Gloucester forward Freddie Clarke on why today was so important.
“It’s gonna be a great occasion for a great man, who deserves everything we owe a a lot to Ed.
“ It’s gonna be a great occasion with two great teams.”
The day started out with crowds gathering in the fan zone to interact with some their favourites players and rugby personalities with a series of talks, challenges and Q&A’s.
The home side wore special Match day shirts which were available to fans as well. Five pounds going direct to the Slater family for every shirt bought.
(To purchase a 4Ed shirt, click here)
And once the game had commenced players and coaches from both sides gathered to celebrate Ed and his family.
Whilst head coach George Skivington was disappointed with the result he was full of praise of how the rugby community had come together in solidarity.
“It’s been an emotional week, I think we’ve talked about Ed a lot this and it’s a horrible situation.
“But like you say it’s amazing how many people rally round and it’s amazing how the boys have responded and hopefully for him and his family it was a nice day to lift that ball”

Celebrating the release of the 34th volume of his Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academy) manga, author Kohei Horikoshi posted a special illustration on his Twitter to commemorate the event. The shared image features Eijirou Kirishima and an unidentified girl… as many thought.
However, the gauntlet the girl was wearing revealed that it was the character Hagakure Toru, who is better known as the hero Invisible Girl.
With a lovely face, long eyelashes, big eyes, and slightly curly shoulder-length hair, Hagakure Toru easily becomes the top waifu in My Hero Academia.
Earlier, in chapter 337 of Boku no Hero Academia, published in December 2021, the face of the Invisible Girl was revealed in a stunning moment. That’s when the traitor in the group of heroes of UA Academy was exposed. Immediately, the beauty of Hagakure Toru made the anime/manga community worldwide shocked and excitedly discussed.
At that time, although only the face of the most mysterious girl Boku no Hero Academia was revealed, it was enough to cause a fever and inspire a series of fan art of many fans.
More about Hagakure Toru, this is a supporting character in the hit manga/anime My Hero Academia. She is also a student in class 1-A at UA. True to the nickname Invisible Girl, Hagakure Toru possesses the invisible quirk. Because of this ability, almost no one can see Toru’s true face. She herself once described herself as a combination of Duong Quy Phi and Francis Xavier.
Horikoshi began publishing the Boku no Hero Academia manga series in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in July 2014 and began the final volume in March 2021. The publisher published the 33rd volume on April 4. this past February, followed by 34 on May 2 in Japan.

More than 5,000 guinea pig owners lent their voice to a census aiming to improve the health and wellbeing of an estimated 400,000 pet guinea pigs in the UK.
Key findings include:
– Only 3% of owners have their guinea pigs insured
– 46% of owners have rescue guinea pigs
– 65% of guinea pig owners feed hay as their primary food source.
Burgess Pet Care published the findings of its Great British Guinea Pig Census, launched earlier this year. The questions were designed to identify any areas of widespread misunderstanding when it comes to guinea pig care and knowledge, and the answers will be used to help improve the health and wellbeing of pet guinea pigs in the UK.
Peter Lancaster, marketing manager at Burgess Pet Care, said: “Guinea pigs make fantastic pets but, as with other small animals, they have very particular needs when it comes to their welfare. Thankfully, according to the findings of our census, we found that the majority of guinea pig owners who provided answers on the five welfare needs – diet, company, health, environment and behaviour – are conscientious with their care, reflecting their dedication to keeping their pets happy.
“It was fantastic to see the number of guinea pig owners entering the census keep rising by the day and we’re reassured that there are thousands of well-informed owners out there. However, despite these resoundingly positive findings, there is always work to be done when it comes to improving standards of animal welfare.
“The information we’ve received from this census does identify the gaps of knowledge in certain areas and we anticipate these gaps to be much larger when it comes to less-informed and engaged guinea pig owners.”
Findings from the 5,045 census respondents included:
– 12% of owners have just one guinea pig
– 46% have a pair
– 42% of owners have more than two
– 33% of owners take their guinea pigs to the vets less than once per year
– 88% of owners provide their guinea pigs with additional space to roam outside of their housing
– 24% of owners believe social interaction puts their guinea pigs in a good mood.

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) December 06, 2015
School Improvement Network, the leader in educator effectiveness resources, today announced the release of Edivate Observe, a comprehensive observation resource that makes it easier for administrators to conduct meaningful and supportive teacher observations—observations that encourage teacher growth and effectiveness.
Edivate Observe officially launches January 2016 and will replace the current observation product Observation 360.
Edivate Observe Supports Educator Growth and Effectiveness by Allowing Instructional Leaders to Quickly and Easily Prescribe Professional Development That Aligns Observed Behavior with Desired Outcomes.
“We strongly believe that observations can be more than just compliance activities. Observations provide a wonderful opportunity for administrators and educators to come together to assess strengths and to identify opportunities for growth,” said Chet D. Linton, CEO and president of School Improvement Network.
The important role that observations play in supporting teacher growth and student achievement is becoming increasingly clear. In a recent study published in the Journal of College Teaching & Learning, researchers found that schools with higher observation rates and professional development activity aligned to observation results saw significant one-year gains in student achievement—an average of 24.9% in math and 24.6% in reading over baseline.*
“Edivate Observe makes it much simpler and easier to give every educator specific, personalized professional learning recommendations that are aligned to observed behavior. The educator can then access their observation and their professional learning recommendations where they access all their professional development, through the Edivate learning platform,” said Linton.
Edivate Observe will be available to all School Improvement Network clients for implementation beginning in January 2016, and it is scalable to any school or system.
School Improvement Network will be highlighting Edivate Observe at the Learning Forward Annual Conference in Washington, DC on December 7-8, booth 201.
