I may have jumped the gun a little on the fall decor around here, but we slept with the windows open last night, and I've spent all day without excessive sweating (notice I didn't say NO sweating--that will truly be an atmospheric miracle). I know that we've still got some hot, indeed sweltering days again, but for right now, I just going to take this kiss of fall, the promise of what I desire, and roll about in it, glorying in the beauty and the promise and the sweet kiss of chill excitement. I can't worry about tomorrow or I might miss what's right here in my lap today.
I've felt very empty lately. Not empty in the barren and used up way, but empty as though I have reached the end of everything that is me, and, finding it inadequate and bumbling, decided that it just isn't worth clinging to any more. Words seem to have escaped me, so I think often of blogging but I never sit down to tap out any words since I question that they would amount to anything at all. Maybe that is good, or not, or maybe it just doesn't matter. I only know that that is where I am today. Emptied of wisdom, pride, resources, desires, expectations...but not friendships. God has a gracefully granted me an abundance of wise and wonderful friends who encourage and speak Truth, whom I trust with the good and a yuk of me. Friends who remind me that "the good thing about empty....it is full of possibilities." Of course the most precious of all, a life companion who somehow embraces the whole of me and makes the good better and the bad not so lonely. Who won't let me stay in the mire of self pity, but makes me climb out and endure the chiseling and shaping that must, simply must, hearken a good work in progress.
I run a lot. Not a lot for some, but for me, A LOT - 10 to 15 miles a week. I'd like to say it lends time for thinking and meditation but truthfully, much of that time is consumed with being: being in the run, being in the pace, being in the breathing, feeling muscles and lungs, fatigue and drawing deeper on strength reserves, listening for the beat of me at the most basic and primal sense. At the heart of the run, I am just me with no strings and no labels, no expectations just a vague and unspoken cadence of "stronger, better, harder, farther" which becomes a kind of meditation when boiled down to its essence. When I return home, I have listened to myself fully and deeply, and my muscles are surfeited with their own effort and again I am empty leaving me free to focus fully on all that the day holds without the many facets of me that like to get in the way of things.
In the meantime as I sit on the back porch and type these words which at best are light and momentary, and watch as the weather changes from a balmy pre-fall coolness, to a thundering deluge, which holds behind it that promise of open windows and a hint of chill. I know that tonight I will open the windows again and hope for the things I anxiously await, but which may or may not come to pass. I will be happy in today.
Pleasure and joy live in all of the corners and crevices of our life, not just the bright sunlight. We must learn to cultivate pleasure and invite it into all the places of our lives, no matter what else is happening. ~SARK
I'd like to preface by saying it's been an extremely difficult few weeks. From burning lunch to dropping a brownie pan 5 feet to the ground, to family squabbles to filing bankruptcy it feels like every time I turn around there is something difficult to deal with. What's more, I'm tired of talking about them, thinking about them, dealing with them.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
I read these words today in my study of Philippians, and I thought, "This is what I want: these lovely things to surround me physically, to embrace my galloping thoughts and soothe my weary mind. I want the God of Peace to dwell in me."
In my mind I had painted the last year as the "lost year." Life seemed so reactionary with everything taking us by surprise, everything presenting new challenges, everything a scramble of adjustment. I have since stopped myself from that way of thinking, not because it isn't true but because it isn't fully true. It lacks the lens Philippians 4:8. It overlooks the good, the beautiful blessings that have sustained me, us, in our hardest year. These are the events, people and places that will be the balm to my soul. They are what move me on to be the person that God has promised I will be.
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Let's see if I can't make my words here reflect the good, lovely, worthy things in my life rather than dwelling that which has come before.

AGV - ifting units for automotive industry
| Metals | Power & Motion Technology | Automation | By Petra Lugner | Sep 08, 2020
Columbus McKinnon Engineered Products is now supplying Pfaff-silberblau HEK10.1 lifting units as standard equipment to KUKA for integration into the KMP 1500 Mobile Platform. The lifting unit is a special development according to DIN EN 1494:2009-05 and EN 1570-1:2011+A1:2014 "Safety requirements for lifting tables" specifically for this automated guided vehicle, which moves around autonomously. With a lifting capacity of 10 kN per lifting unit, large loads can be moved around very flexibly on the small, manoeuvrable platform and moved vertically at speeds of 50 mm/s over a lifting path of 200 mm. Thanks to its two lifting units, the KMP 1500 transports loads weighing up to 1.5 tonnes safely through production and warehouses.
Compact, strong, quiet
The request made by KUKA to Columbus McKinnon Engineered Products was for a highly compact design with a low installation height of only 143 mm – while ensuring a 200 mm stroke with a maximum clearance of +/-1.5 mm in the X/Y direction. Loading with a one tonne load per unit had to be guaranteed. The maximum transverse forces of up to 3000 N resulting from the acceleration of the vehicle are absorbed by the compact scissor guide system of the lifting unit.
Furthermore, a long service life of at least 600,000 load cycles with high duty cycles and quiet operation of less than 70 dBA were specified. These specifications were verified in endurance tests in the specially designed test bay of Columbus McKinnon Engineered Products. Inside the HEK10.1 lifting unit, which is integrated twice – front and rear – in the KMP 1500, a special newly developed Pfaff-silberblau high-performance worm gear screw jack has been installed as the core element.
Thanks to the high overall efficiency of the lifting unit, it can be driven in battery mode by a 96 V asynchronous servo motor. When it is extended, a flexible protection boot protects the unit all around against dust and splash water. IP 54 protection is also guaranteed by the closed motor installation and filter ventilation. An electrically monitored wear indicator facilitates preventive maintenance. For maintenance, the lifting unit can be mechanically locked and the lifting platform can be lowered manually in emergency operation (in case of power failure). The entire unit is supplied ready for fitting ("Plug & Place").
The KUKA omniMove drive technology allows the KMP 1500 to move in any direction from a standing position. The sophisticated wheel technology allows for precise positioning with an accuracy of +/- 5 mm even in tight spaces. This results in space-saving and highly precise automation solutions for logistics. KMP 1500 ensures the flexible transport of loads through all process steps in production and in the warehouse, for example in the automotive industry. The mobile platform is specially designed to meet the automation requirements of Industry 4.0.
Expert solutions from the technology leader
When developing the KMP 1500, KUKA turned to Columbus McKinnon Engineered Products because, as a technology leader for components and system solutions for mechanical drive and lifting technology, the company was able to meet the high demands placed on the development due to this special design. The project started back in 2016. After a number of years of prototype development and extensive testing of a pilot series, the Pfaff-silberblau lifting units can now be produced in series.
Further information on other Pfaff-silberblau worm gear screw jacks can be found at: https://www.pfaff-silberblau.com/components-products/Screw-Jacks/

Ari got some fun new musical instruments for her birthday and I have a “Music” category on my home-school preschool plans, so we did a music exploration session this morning with “Yankee Doodle Dandy” because it’s also President’s Day, thus I decided we’d take a patriotic route with it.
There are LOTS of therapeutic, learning, and developmental benefits from incorporating music into a child’s day. Using music and movement is part of my therapeutic plan to help Caleb with his Apraxia of Speech. Today, though, we just explored music and instruments. Just by playing with a super affordable Melissa and Doug music set, we worked on all of these things PLUS some:
- studies have shown that exposure to music in childhood can accelerate brain development
- integration of different areas of development by making the body and mind work together
- helps children learn new sounds and words
- builds motor skills
- strengthens memory abilities
I love it for our intents and purposes because we’re always working on:
- imitating actions and vocalizations
- different kinds of auditory sensory input
- cooperative play
Caleb is really good at imitating actions now. Imitating actions is important because you imitate what you see before you imitate what you hear. Imitating gross motor and fine motor actions is an excellent precursor to imitating vocalizations and verbalizations. The love of music he’s acquired has also helped him be more spontaneous in his language use as he spontaneously comes up to us and does the motions and words to “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.” Another benefit of music for Caleb? It’s calming. When he started getting a little wild on me in the Costco checkout the other week, I distracted him with the aforementioned “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” and bought myself enough time to get out of the store calmly. When he was itty bitty and had to get shots, hearing tests, etc, YouTube videos of “Puff the Magic Dragon” saw us through.
If you’re interested, here’s some footage of our jam session this morning. We’re just getting ready for Grammy season 2032.
Ari and I have a piano duet of “Yankee Doodle” you can watch on YouTube.
Caleb used his one-man band skills to provide the musical accompaniment to my own Yankee Doodle as well. Check out how much fun he’s having rocking out.
Just look at this chick!
I know Caleb had a good time because he’s literally carried the box of instruments around the house all day with him and I randomly hear the shake of maracas coming from various rooms of my home.
Besides “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” and “Puff the Magic Dragon,” here are some of Caleb’s other favorite songs:
He also loves Christmas carols and a song from the “Build Me a Building” episode of Bubble Guppies because he likes to pretend to use a hammer and saw while he listens.
I also have made up ridiculous songs to their more popular counterparts to sing to my children throughout their little lives such as “Caleburra sits in the old oak tree” cause who’s ever seen a kookaburra sitting in a gum tree? Also, my personal favorite “AriBody” that is to be sung along to the tune of the Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody.” And let’s not forget “Do you want to go to sleep now?” that follows the tune of “Do you want to build a snowman?” which I sing pleadingly when I need them to take it down a notch or seventeen.
Rock out with your kiddos, ya’ll. It’ll be a fun time for EVERYBODY (yeah yeah).

The internationalization of higher education has been the subject of a substantial body of research. However, few studies have examined how faculty members, significant implementers of internationalization, think about internationalization priorities. This article presents the results of a questionnaire which was sent to faculty members at three institutions of higher education, two in the United States and one in Canada. Three-hundred and seventy-five faculty members responded to an open ended question asking how they would prioritize international initiatives at their institution. These comments were coded and categorized based on patterns that emerged from the data. Additionally, the top five topics were examined more in depth to reveal faculty rationale for each. Two findings emerged from this study. First, respondents overwhelmingly support internationalization. Second, they expect the institution to shoulder the burden for the implementation of institutional directives. These findings inform institutional internationalization administrators.

Roast goose is particularly juicy, if one uses a larger goose. From the remains of the second day as you can still cook a goose broth, or serve the goose legs with kale. Classic roast goose with red cabbage or Brussels sprouts, potato croquettes or dumplings will be served. If you get no fresh goose, the goose should be thawed one day before the preparation. For the goose is best put into a large colander and cover with a large deep dish, so the skin does not dry up. The sieve set in a bowl to catch the defrosted. there may not be used. Remove the giblets from the belly of the goose, clean thoroughly under running water and dry on paper towels.
The goose inside and out, rinse with water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. The visible fat removed from the opening in the abdomen and for use as goose fat for frying or further. The wings of the goose buckle in the joints and back spin on the back. The wings are stuck with rolls as skewers or tie with kitchen string. So do not burn the wingtips during frying. In order to drain the fat from the roast goose, it stings the skin on the underside of the wing several times with a fork or a skewer roulades. The goose inside and out strong season with pepper and salt. Fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, sage and savory together bind to a covenant, and put into the abdominal cavity of goose.
A sprig of thyme for the sauce retained. Preheat the oven to 200 °. Pour into a roasting pan or deep baking pan of boiling water. Rub salt into the water and set aside Add the thyme. Clean greens, coarsely chop and set aside along with the specified offal in the roasting pan. The goose with the breast facing up to a grate. Butter in a small saucepan and melt on low fill temperature. Roast goose with the brush on the melted butter. Roast goose on the middle rack in the push to 200 ° preheated oven. The roasting pan with the vegetables below the grate insert. The goose, depending on size, 60 to 70 minutes at 200 ° roast and brush in between some of the leaked drippings. Then the goose gently on her stomach turn and cook another 20 minutes.
This Brush continue from time to time, the goose with the drippings. Finally, the roast goose again turn to the back. Little bit of salt in cold water and brush the breast in touch with them. The goose let fry about 10 minutes, brush on easily. This gives the goose, as previously seen in the picture, a beautiful brown and crispy crust. Carefully remove the goose from the oven, place on a cutting board and let rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to distribute evenly and do not expire when it is carved. Pour red wine into the roasting pan and loosen the gravy with a pastry brush. The gravy through a sieve into a small saucepan or a saucepan pour. Skim the fat from the surface and boil the sauce once. Who likes the sauce binds with a little gravy or cornstarch and seasoning if necessary by again. You can also puree the cooked vegetables into the sauce, which also binds this.

I guess I should start by clarifying what kind of geek I am. Foremost, I'm a cult/exploitation, kung fu, and surrealism geek. I've fallen out of love with comics, only following a series or two via trades. I was never into sci fi that much, though I probably know as much about Star Wars and Star Trek as any late 70's early 80's geeky kid does. So, if they had conventions where people dressed up like Ogami Itto or the Oily Maniac while attending screenings of The Milky Way and a gallery showings of Max Ernst paintings, I'd be in heaven.
I grew up with Doctor Who during its peak in popularity and, in my opinion, quality with the Tom Baker run. When it comes to Doctor Who, I've watched nearly all of them (that exist) but really only revisit the Baker run. I admit that nostalgia and cheesy, low rent fun is a small part of that love but I also think the scripting and inspired characterization was at its best during the 70's. Otherwise, nostalgia be damned, I wouldn't bother.
When it came time for Doctor Who to get a new modern restart, I wasn't too up in arms about a re-imagining, a semi-maturation of the series. In a post X-Files fantasy world, such things have to be done. There is a much larger and more mainstream adult-geek market to tap into, one that wants some self-consciously sly conceptualization along with its monster-of-the-week thrills. But, so far, I've found the new Who to be pretty hit and miss. With that said, lets get to some brief impressions of season three, shall we? And by the way, this isn't in strict order, but you'll see why.
I'm not going to bother with a concept synopsis. I don't imagine many people are going to click on Series Three of any show, much less one with nearly 50 years of history, and expect the mythology to be explained. You've got the Doc, whose lead many lives, travels through time and space, always landing in some kind of alien mess where he and his companion must save the day.
Tweed ferret David Tenant's second tenure as the Doc begins with the usual Christmas special, The Runaway Bride, a breezy, mostly comic episode with Britain's current Tracey Ullman in residence Catherine Tate, who actually signed on for series four. The season's first two official episodes are Smith and Jones and The Shakespeare Code which basically serve as the formal introduction to the Doc's new companion Martha Jones, played by Freema Agyeman. The problems with Martha are apparent form the get-go. It isn't that Agyeman is a bad actress or Martha is a poor character but the angle of Martha being romantically attracted to the Doctor never quite gels. Despite the season long build by the writers, there simply isn't the intangible conviction, that chemistry, between Tennent and Agyeman. Smith and Jones is fun and fast paced with the Doctor and Martha in an alien hospital where an uncompromising space police force is hunting a blood sucking creature.The Shakespeare Code is a bit undercooked period attempt with Martha and the Doc encountering the famous bard while a group of witchlike beings terrorize the Globe Theater and threaten the staging of Willy boy's latest play.
Two parters this season are Human Nature and
The Family of Blood and Daleks in Manhattan and
Evolution of the Daleks. In Nature/Blood, the Doctor has made himself human, wiped his identity from his memory, and teaches at an early 20th century British boys boarding school. The identity mask was done in order to avoid capture from a race simply called The Family, who hope to capture him and use his regenerative energies to survive their ticking clock lives. Martha is instructed to bide their time and trigger him when the time is right, but with the Smith persona falling in love, this becomes a far trickier situation than they planned. The Dalek arc features the duo in Depression era NY fighting off the Daleks, who are turning unemployed transients into subservient pig men while setting up operations in the Empire State building. This is where the show's old school campiness braces against the newer serious tones. I mean, pig men are hard to take serious, or at least, as serious as they are intended to be taken here.
The rest of the stand alone eps this season are The Lazarus Experiment, 42, Gridlock, and Blink. One the serviceable side you have The Lazarus Experiment where The League of Gentleman's Mark Gatiss' co-stars as Professor Lazarus, who, name says it all, develops a machine the reverses the aging process with a deadly mutative side effect. In 42, the Doc and Martha are trapped on a spaceship that is falling into a sun and to make matters worse a crewmember is possessed by an alien spirit intent on destroying everyone. The gimmick is that, like 24, they have the shows running time and title to save themselves, but really that ticking clock idea is ultimately irrelative and the ep plays like most Who shows: threat-panic-action-solution. On the more solid side you have Gridlock where the Doc and Martha become separated on New Earth's massive motorway, a flying car jam of millions who wait years just to move a few feet and rumors abound of an underlying monstrosity underneath the sky highway. Blink is among the new series best. A prime example of a successful show where the title character has little screen time and inventive use of a low budget monster. In this one, the Doc and Martha communicate from the past with junior Scoobie Sally Sparrow, who discovers a series of clues left by the Doctor to warn her of The Weeping Angels, a series of alien statues that can transport people into the past and feature a unique defense system- they cannot move yet remain indestructible when you look at them but look away and they quickly attack their unsuspecting prey.
Series three ends with a three episode arc, Utopia,
The Sound of Drums, and Last of the Time Lords, that reintroduces one of the Doctors top reoccurring nemesis, The Master, as well a guest starring return of spinoff character Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman). In typical Who fashion the story goes from the end of the universe and the last human beings besieged by the mutated Futurekind to present day Earth where a reincarnated Master has become the Prime Minister of England with his typical doomsday plans to enslave/destroy humankind. I have to say I absolutely hated this arc in large part due to the reinvention of the Master. The original conception was very Bond villainesque, an older, goatee'd, typically sneering brilliant madman, very much the Doctors Time Lord opposite. As portrayed by John Sims, the Master is now younger, hammier, and a total spazz. Sure, the other incarnation was a cardboard villain cutout but he could at least be foreboding and was a genre appropriate rival. The new Master is about as malevolent and cunning as a game show host.
The man responsible for the Doc's new launch is Russell T. Davies, apparently a Brit tv drama figurehead unfamiliar to this Yank. A major change that I'll assume was part of Davies strategy that doesn't jibe with me is the sexualization of the Doctor and the notion of his female companions feeling "abandoned" by the time traveler. For me, the idea is handled in a very awkwardly and became downright repetitive. It was especially annoying during the Rose run, attaching mixed feelings to Rose's loss of her father at an early age, while the Martha Jones run played up an unrequited romance bond. Not bad idea's but they are just poorly executed with a heavy hand.
These dollops of dramatic tension actually dull two of the most intriguing aspects of the Doctor as a character- his sense of living life as a chaotic, noble adventurer and being incredibly, unmistakably alien. Sure, I know the Doc wasn't originally sexualized because it was a show for kids. The first incarnation was an older man with a granddaughter, so, though obviously never really addressed, one knows he was up to hanky panky at some point in his life. During the dashing Pertwee run, he showed some bits of affection and even jealousy towards his companions. But, even as the show got hipper, the Doc's got younger, and the companions sexier, the show creators stood fast to the notion that he was almost an asexual creature (much like Who fans- yeah, I went there). More often than not, the Doc was usually weird, eccentric, often gruff and superior, and was never really distracted with hormonal feelings for people he encountered. Now with the weight of the Doc being someone who acknowledges attraction, it gives a humane weight and complication that I don't think the character needed and actually deadens what made him a unique sci fi hero. This soap opera element also adds a further wrinkle. Are all his companions going to be female from now on, potential love interests? Making that the ulterior or main motivation for his companions actually limits the show and opens potentially problematic door regarding introducing male or younger companions like in the shows classic era.
The series is perfectly fine and has steadily improved season to season. While not top notch or seamless, the production does a good job stretching their budget to make the most of general design and effects. The actors, for the most part, are well cast. I just believe that the current show runners are a tad misguided in how they have chosen to sophisticate the series. I think the shows fans want it to be fun, pulpy, with a bit of grown up wit. It is possible to mix in those elements without becoming too weepy (look at the strong seasons of Buffy), which is exactly where the new show too often veers. It is a little worrisome that it has succeeded- at least, I assume it has since it has spawned two spinoffs already- because, since it wasn't a massive blunder, the shows creators might settle with what they have got rather than working towards more improvement in every department.
The DVD:BBC Video
Picture: Presented in
Anamorphic Widescreen. While the polish of the visuals, sets, cinematography, and such can make the show a little one note, that is true of most any show (take X Files glaringly Canadian settings poorly doubling for US locales). Transferwise, the image is very crisp and clear, sharp, with vibrant colors. Minor quirks exist, the odd scene with some poor contrast and high grain levels and occasional minor aliasing.
Sound: Audio is limited to one tight
English 5.1channel with optional English subtitles. Excellent sound design with only one glaring problem... or maybe it is more a personal peeve. When I complain that the show is a bit overly dramatic, I think you could chalk 70% of that to the bombastic music. It is cued way too wall-to-wall and is so overblown it often drowns out the dialogue and atmospheric effects. The bulk of the old series was memorably synth scored, and its too bad they didn't keep that tradition instead of this Howard Shore/Hans Zimmer route.
The extras are quite vast and plentiful. Aside from rewatching the eps with commentary, I imagine it will take most viewers two nights to shift through them all.
All episodes have commentary by various cast and crew members, from Tennant to show runner Russel Davies, guest stars, production designers, producers, and so forth. Spread across the discs are various featurettes: David Tennant video dairies, a set tour by Agyeman, clips from a live performance, preview trailers, as well as outtakes and bloopers. A solo disc houses two hours and thirty-two minutes worth of Dr. Who Confidential featurettes covering aspects of each episode.
The new Doctor Who is a fine sci fi, fantasy series. Three seasons in I think the show is still without its problems, but it certainly has improved and might be finding a stride. The DVD presentation of Series Three is spot on, technically sound, and loaded with extras. Therefore I'll go with a "Recommended".

The incidence of lung cancer in Aussies who have never smoked is on the rise.
A chronic persistent cough should not be automatically dismissed as a lingering symptom of covid, says an Australian respiratory expert.
The advice follows a new perspective piece published in the Medical Journal of Australia that shows the incidence of lung cancer in people who have never smoked – particularly women – is on the rise.
While rates of lung cancer were still highest among people who have smoked, the incidence is growing among Australians who have never smoked.
“We’re definitely seeing more and more cases,” said lead author Professor Fraser Brims, deputy director of the Institute for Respiratory Health, and a consultant respiratory physician at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth.
“Occupational exposure is a very big driver for Australia,” he said. “We’ve got a chequered history, particularly with regard to asbestos in the past, and that’s an ongoing concern for sure.”
The rising rates of lung cancer in non-smokers was important for health professional to be aware of, especially as the number of people who’ve recovered from covid grows, Professor Brims told Oncology Republic.
A lingering cough was a common symptom after covid, but it was important not to overlook other causes, he said.
“For the vast majority of people, their symptoms should be resolved within a handful of weeks,” he said.
“So, if it is dragging out beyond and there’s concern with other symptoms or background risks, then I think it’s very reasonable these days to request a low dose CT scan to just to reassure everybody as to what’s going on.”
Other lung diseases, such as emphysema, bronchitis, ongoing infections and fibrosis also raised the risk of lung cancer.
According to the MJA article, researchers increasingly recognised that lung cancer in never smokers was biologically distinct from smoking‐related lung cancers. Although there was overlap with other risk factors such as environmental and genetic interactions, biofuel and occupational exposures, and indoor and outdoor pollution.
“The incidence of lung cancer in several developed countries (e.g., the United Kingdom and the United States) has started to fall,” the authors wrote.
“However, despite a projected fall in age‐standardised lung cancer rates in Australia over the next two decades, the number of deaths from lung cancer is expected to continue to increase due to population growth and ageing.”
Professor Brims told TMR the key to improving the five-year survival rate of 19% for all lung cancer in Australia was earlier detection.
And that means thoroughly investigating chronic, persistent and changing coughs in all patients, regardless of their smoking history or even whether they have had a recent covid infection.
“It’s the more than three weeks of a new cough or a changed cough would absolutely be something we should take seriously,” he said.
“The same really stands for the breathlessness or chest pain and just that nonspecific fatigue. A clear red flag will be haemoptysis. Not all haemoptysis is lung cancer, but it’s absolutely one of those things we should think of early.”
He said smoking history should be routinely checked and age was also a consideration.
“So, if someone is 70, having smoked with some of those worsening symptoms, then absolutely, we should be thinking (of checking for lung cancer); but if they’re 45 and have never smoked, then it doesn’t mean they definitely haven’t got lung cancer.
“Their background risk is far less and then it does get tricky to know what to do for sure, but we must think about it in these people in everybody, particularly as they get older because age, of course, is one of the biggest drivers.”
Professor Brims said lung cancer screening with low dose computed tomography in current and former smokers had been shown to significantly reduce lung cancer mortality by 20% to 24% in two large, randomised studies.
“The federal government has given Cancer Australia money to work on an implementation project, it’s just that we’re all kind of being impatient,” he said.
“We know we know screening is effective, [because it] identifies lung cancer at an early stage when it can be treated and that confers a more clear mortality benefit.
“We know that screening is only effective when you’re identifying a high-risk population, and so there’s work around how do we do that in the Australian context, and I think it’s doable.”
Professor Brims said it was time to move past the general view that lung cancer was a smoker’s disease.
“We have to move on from the stigma and bias, be it conscious or unconscious, against lung cancer,” he said in an MJA podcast.
“As a community, both the lung cancer community and the medical community as a whole, we have to move past this.
“It’s not fair to judge individuals by a risk factor. We don’t judge people who’ve had bowel cancer and say, ‘goodness, you must have eaten a lot of processed red meat in the past.’ And we shouldn’t be doing the same with lung cancer and smoking because it’s not about that anymore.”

Soil often doesn’t seem like something we should be concerned with. What is it – and why is it so important?
Soil is a mixture of materials from bits of rocks and minerals to organic matter from dead plants and animals. It is, of course, home to the roots of plants and small organisms which provide the foundations upon which countless ecosystems depend. Sadly, soil is degrading which can have a devastating effect right up the food chain.
Pesticides are used when crops are farmed intensively in order to prevent insects and other invertebrates from eating crops. These can drip down into the soil making it uninhabitable.
Forests can be greatly beneficial for soil by dropping leaves annually which provide organic matter which aids water retention and nutrition in the soil. With forests removed and replaced by farmland often nutrients are sprayed on crops – but these are tailored to crop type and do not encourage a varied and balanced ecosystem.

Dental implant is one of the most popular dental care approaches nowadays for people who find hard to complete the set of their teeth. It is a root device used by periodontists that replace missing tooth due to such factors like tooth decay and accidents. It is made up of titanium for better standing and quality and is being placed in the jaw to hold the missing tooth in place. This is being performed by placing an incision in the gums then followed by inserting the dental implant on it. Once the artificial tooth was implanted already, the dentist will sew the gums to ensure that the artificial tooth is stably planted in the gums for better quality of the dental implant. This procedure requires long healing time to enable the bones and gums to heal and be part of the artificial tooth. The healing time duration of the gums and bones to heal takes for about few months as the implant needs to become sturdier enough to hold the artificial tooth. Implants are ideally good for individuals who have good general set of teeth and have adequate oral health. Loss of tooth is definitely uncontrollable especially for adults who encounter incidents that trigger them to have this kind of issue.
Dental Implants vs Bridges
Benefits of dental implants compared to bridges
Implants are permanent once planted in gums compared to bridges and dentures. Although bridges are for permanent purposes as well, this dental care approach relies upon the stability and surrounding of teeth in order for it to become substantial as well. Due to this case, most people and dentists find dental implants as the best artificial tooth to carry on. Since dental implants are placed in the roots of missing tooth, you can assure of having more substantial teeth like before compared to bridges. We cannot deny the fact that once we encounter such loss of teeth, it is our common nature to fill the gap immediately as it can lessen the self-confidence we feel. If you are still under deciding on which of them is the best to patronize, you can consider understanding these benefits of implants compared to bridges for better choice:
- Dental Implants promote better oral health. Based on the experiences of people who undergo dental care examination and surgery, they find dental bridges not so good in terms of filling up their loss tooth because it has the potential to lower down their oral health. One of the advantages of dental implant is that there are no adjacent teeth involved just to hold down the missing tooth. Since bridges require side forces of natural teeth, it is uncomfortable for some people. Implants are more convenient to use over the teeth and the quality of your oral health will never be compromised.
- Implants can promote better bone health structure. Implants are for placing and fulfilling any loss of tooth like in areas where there are no teeth. When you chew and there is an implant in your teeth, you will feel the direct pressure of the artificial tooth and its stimulation in your jaw bone. However, you don’t have to be worried about it because implants do not affect the structure of your bone because it is just like your natural teeth; instead, it help you to have better bone structure to hold up the area where tooth was lost. Bridges are not yet proven to promote good bone structure as this form of dental care requires a lot of time for it to adapt with the kind of jaw bone you have which is definitely inconvenient and uncomfortable.
- Dental Implants are durable and long lasting. Implants are durable compared to bridges in terms of its connection with gums and bone. Moreover, it has the capacity to last for lifetime compared to bridges who have a life expectancy of just 10 years.

I can only read so many stories before my walls come tumbling down, and my written voice is running out of places to hide; my thoughts can't be contained inside me anymore, theyre too loud: im resonating too much.
Please excuse my sputters and hiccups; im in your realm now.
I dreamt last night, for the first time since I can remember. It was a riveting experience; full of passion and excitement. The practical details that I remember was that there was a two-fold struggle; two choices pulling me apart. The other detail I remember was my running (in this case driving) away in a high-speed chase. I woke up the same way I fell asleep: emotionally exhausted. Stranger still, I woke up knowing there would be a story for me, how could I not? It's not every day you see me go up in smoke.
I arrived at the columns of my enemy; immune to all the judging eyes that stared at my light. I was ablaze, you were boldly stepping foot into my world; and I am more than willing to help you find your pedestal. Your enthusiasm ignited me again; so much so I was willing to stand on the steps of my biggest challenge, and open up my insecurities, if you will. I was as loud as I could be, determined to have everyone know that I am not afraid. You weren't fooled, and neither was I. I stepped down off my plateau; feeling alive, I did it; people were silenced, and I was on the steps of my enemy, I found a way to use the suffocation as fuel; it was a revelation for me: I felt hot.
I wanted you to feel the same rush; I wanted you to stand above everyone else and shout your story to the same unwilling crowd. You were intimidated - like I was - and felt you couldn't compete. Maybe I'm just more willing to hide myself, after all I am the actor. I felt your insecurities, your bubbling, and I felt my face begin to get red. I asked if you wanted to go somewhere quieter, safer, calmer. I wasn't asking only for you, I was also asking for me. You were brave, and proceeded to perform something completely out of this world, play-wise, and skill-wise. I wasn't expecting such vulnerability; such open-ness, such raw talent. I ignited again, I felt I could give you very difficult critiques, and you took them, carried the weight of other's judgement and my direction and pushed it into your acting, I was proud, astounded, all the while still ablaze inside; I wasn't too hot yet.
Then the girl who knew how to run showed up. Already ablaze - and then ignited again - I began to smoke. It was small, and I didn't notice the source at first. I found myself shifting my feet to each of you, determined not to give one of you more attention then the other. At that point, i found the quiet voice in the back of my mind saying: "We should have found a smaller room." I asked you to go again; for someone to go again. I needed an out, I saw your uneasiness and felt it, I felt the two brightest spotlights on me, and I was too hot. I couldn't find a balance for both of your desires for my attention. I was having regrets, and I was losing focus, and going up in smoke. Fortunately, the bell was gracious and I found time to rest. We took giant steps, and tripped on our own ambitions.
The final bell rings, and I rush to my haven, where my people are, where everyone reassures each other and acts like springs on a trampoline -supporting the brave flier - to make sure they don't hit the ground too hard. My dissapointment was immense, I wanted to show off the vulnerabilities I presented, I wanted to see you perform. I saw myself suffocating in the smoke, and I sought to be louder, more red, to hide the wounds, and to push away the hardships.
You weren't fooled and neither was I.
The opportunity arose for me to go to the small, safe, piano room. I jumped on it, practically ran to it. I needed an out, and I found it. I still noticed everything and everyone else, but was powerless to stop it, I felt like I runaway train, an unstoppable force out of control. I was selfish, I burrowed myself in my music so deeply: i made a nest for one. It didn't matter who was or wasn't there. Then, like a drop of water on a hot pan, I realized I was hurting you. I couldn't decide what hurt more, the fact you thought I didn't notice, or the guilt of the exterior situation. I was blinded by all the smoke.
I felt torn apart. I begged for air; but I didn't beg. I was volatile, and hot, and dismissive. You noticed and sought to save me, but I felt trapped, not able to embrace comfort without embracing the pain at the same time. You saw me act foolish, stumble so many months back to the pompous boy who demanded idolization to feel powerful. I felt the knives and darts, but they just hit smoke and went right through me.
Walking home, in the cool night air, I finally had the opportunity to slow everything down, and work things out. I finally got to extinguish all the smoke and look at the effects it had. I burnt those I love the most. I wanted to scream, the very core of my personality is it's own undoing. I have to find the delicate balance of being a powerful flame, while constantly being aware of the effects of scorching everyone around me.
Please don't think I replaced you. I truly do need you. I need the person who's eyes glow through the smoke, who's arms are ready to help. I need you to humble me. I have to learn to find balance, to cool down, so as not to burn others. I want to help you, to give you my warmth. I want you not to believe things are water or fire; black or white. I want to keep writing, but I feel I have said my piece. I hate asking for help, because it makes me feel weak and dependant and unhelpful but I pray you will help me face the heat, because a small part of me fears I can't face it alone. In return, I will be there for you, and help you face anything that stands in your way. I will be your guardian if you will be mine.

This number includes white lies and omissions, which really tells us how our society has become what it is known as today.
National Honesty Day is celebrated all across the world on the last day of April. Goldberg invented this day and he chose the last day of April since the first day of the month, April Fools’ Day, represents foolishness and distrust. Remember that this day is a day to go obout about telling the truth to others around you. It’s a time for you to show your bravery in sharing opinions, perspectives and thoughts while being open about them by not keeping anything to yourself. However, always be cautious not to offend or upset anyone by saying anything that may not be considered polite.
I can admit that I have lied to people around me almost all the time about general things that I might have been asked about. For example, if someone asked how my day went, my general answer would probably be “fine,” and I just don’t expand any further on that. Some days that answer of “fine” may as well mean that I’m not having a great day or just simply too tired to answer.
Another example of me lying can be when someone asks me how he or she might look and my general response will be that they look great. In my defense, I prefer not to criticize someone for their flaws but at the same time that person will sooner or later notice that I am not someone that they would want to ask again on how they look as I just approve of everything! These are just some of the situations that I have been a part of when I lie to someone during the day.
In school, lies take the shape of excuses to get out of things such as assignments and due dates. Lying is not the last resort to not finishing your homework, so simply let your teacher know that you didn’t do what you were told to do and that’s that.
Being truthful about a school assignment may be hard at first but it’s all worth it in the end because the teacher will feel reassured that you didn’t break the trust relationship you have with them over a silly little homework assignment or project. The next time you don’t do something that you were assigned to do, just tell the truth straight up because it takes less stress to tell the truth than a lie and it also causes less stress for others around you to not doubt you.

Last but not least, let’s get the word of National Honesty Day out there and get the Internet spewing out all the truthful facts of the world. This will in turn influence people to participate in this event by not lying and being straight up honest about everything that they say. To get the word out, spread the word through media sources such as facebook, twitter, instagram, pinterest, photobucket, linkedin, myspace, formspring, ask.fm and even blackberry messenger. On this day, it is also worthwhile to speak out against the misconceptions and misinformation that is present in our media, particularly on the Internet.
So, this year I will attempt to not produce any lies of any sort for one whole day out of the 365 in a year this April.
Have an honest and truthful National Honesty Day!

[pinterest] David LOVES eggs so he really liked this recipe. Since I wasn’t eating it, I only made a half batch which made 2 servings. He had the second serving another night. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion,
I don’t make a lot of sweets these days because of the low FODMAP diet David’s following, but this Chewy Chocolate Cookie recipe actually fit the guidelines. I was pretty excited to make it and David was pretty excited to
I wasn’t sure about this one but David said it was a keeper. And in case you’re wondering, no, I did not eat it. I don’t like fish. I made a half batch of Joe’s Crockpot Potato Soup for me.
Another great new recipe for the recipe box. Easy to make and delicious. Ingredients: 8 ounces multigrain spaghetti (1) 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 lemon, zested and juiced (about 1 tbsp. zest and 2 tbsp. juice) 1 lb. boneless,
I didn’t have high hopes for this chicken recipe – I was sure it would be plain and boring but it was actually very good. I will definitely be making it again. The broccoli recipe was delicious, too! Of course,

Week in the Life is a week-long documentation project (thought up by the amazing Ali Edwards) that focuses on the little details that make up your day-to-day life. I wanted to keep this as simple as I could (all my photos are in black and white and portrait), because I was determined to finish this project and if I felt like any unnecessary constraints would make it more difficult.
This book is made with 4×6 Cardstock photographs, adhered back to back and bound by two binder rings. I created a cover page, and a page for each day of the week in Photoshop, and had them printed up with my photographs.
Number of Pages:
It’s super simple. All the photos are black and white and taken in portrait form. I put a little bit of thought into this album before I started the project, so it was easy to follow through.
4×6 Cardstock Photos (printed at Persnickety Prints), strong tape runner, crop-a-dile hole punch, binder rings.
Scroll down for more pictures of the album.
I’m excited to participate in this project again this Fall!
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out one of my mini-albums, they’re one of my favorite projects to create. I’m passionate about mini-albums and if you’re interested in more inspiration, posts can be found here. Subscribe via your favorite reader for even more mini-album inspiration.

Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn], EC 188.8.131.52, SOD1, SOD, ALS, ALS1, IPOA.
Mouse Anti Human Monoclonal.
Human Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1) catalyzes the reaction between superoxide anions and hydrogen to yield molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme protects the cell against dangerous levels of superoxide. SOD1 binds copper and zinc ions and is 1 of 3 isozymes accountable for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. The encoded protein neutralizes supercharged oxygen molecules, which can damage cells if their levels are not controlled. Mutations in SOD1 cause a form of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

A doctor looks at an x-ray of a woman's broken wrist displayed during the exhibition 'Invisibility is not a super power' which includes x-ray's of anonymous women who arrived at the hospital's emergency room claiming to be victims of violence, at the San Carlo Hospital, in Milan, Italy, Friday, Nov. 22, 2019. (Photo: AP)
A Milan hospital is exhibiting X-rays of women attacked by men to highlight what one doctor calls the “daily horror” of violence against women.
The San Carlo Hospital mounted the exhibit in its atrium to coincide with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which takes place on Monday.
Patients’ anonymity was respected in putting the five X-rays on display, including one showing the large blade of a knife lodged in a woman’s abdomen. Other X-rays show fractured limbs, including a shin bone broken in two.
For the show’s inauguration on Thursday, Dr. Maria Grazia Vantadori, a hospital surgeon and liaison for women suffering violence from husbands, boyfriends, family members or acquaintances, noted that some patients don’t at first consider themselves domestic violence victims.
“Often the women who come to the emergency room, not knowing how to label what happened to them, don’t immediately say they have suffered violence,’’ Vantadori said.
But, Vantadori said, “the bodies, the injuries speak for them and recount the spirals of daily horror.”
Only in the last few years, have women in Italy started making significant inroads in an uphill cultural and legislative campaign to combat men’s violence against former and current wives and girlfriends, as well as against mothers, daughters and sisters.
As recently as a generation ago, the Italian penal code still called for prison sentences as short as three years for men who killed women out of jealousy. Until 1981, the law sanctioned leniency for male defendants who slayed women to preserve the “family honor.”
But a cadre of courageous women, including some horribly disfigured after being doused with acid, are galvanizing other women — and men — to recognize the warning signs of domestic violence and to support those who want to get out of violent relationships.
The Italian Parliament passed anti-stalking legislation in 2009. But there have been cases in which authorities underestimated the danger posed by jealous or vengeful men with whom the women have ended or tried to end relationships.
On Friday, doctors and other hospital staff as well as those coming to the hospital for medical care stopped to view the X-rays, which reflected patient injuries from over the last 10 years, the hospital said.
The exhibition runs through Dec. 9.

Drawing from the words of a beloved Primary song, Brother M. Joseph Brough, second counselor in the Young Men general presidency, spoke on the ways “Heavenly Father will lead us, guide us, and walk beside us,” in his remarks during the Saturday morning session of general conference.
“Heavenly Father knows what you and I need better than anyone else,” Brother Brough said. “As a result, He has developed a personal care package suited to each one of us.”
Heavenly Father’s commandments are key components of the care package, he said.
Around his 14th birthday, Brother Brough said, he noticed a change in his parents’ behavior. “Considering what I observed, I asked, ‘Are we going on a mission?’ The shock on my mother’s face confirmed my suspicion.” Later in a family council, he and his siblings learned that their parents had been called to preside over a mission.
Shortly after learning about this calling, he realized he would have to give up his dog, Blue.
Brother Brough began reading the Book of Mormon and earnestly prayed for an answer about what to do with Blue. Over time, a specific thought kept coming to him. “Don’t be a burden to your parents. Don’t be a burden. I have called your parents.”
Though it hurt to give Blue away, he knew what Heavenly Father required of him. He found that “through that small sacrifice, my heart softened and I found peace in seeking Heavenly Father’s will.”
The youth of the Church “are blessed when they have parents and leaders who act for Heavenly Father in leading, guiding, and walking beside them,” Brother Brough said. He gave three principles for youth leaders to follow.
First, be with the youth. “To lead youth requires being with them. Devoted time is an expression of love that allows us to teach by word and example.”
Second, connect youth with heaven. “Our youth must know how to seek Heavenly Father’s guidance.”
Third, let youth lead. “Letting youth lead requires patience and love. It is harder and takes more time than doing it ourselves. They may stumble along the way, but we walk beside them.”

"Age is just a number" as the cliche goes, and in trucking it couldn't be more true. Many, many people get into the trucking industry, and do well in it, at an older age.
The average age of American truck drivers is currently around 49 years old, and it is not uncommon at all for people in their 50's and 60's to get their CDL and start driving.
Many people get into it as a post-retirement career, or after their children have grown, or just as a way to travel while earning (experienced drivers find ways to do some sight-seeing along the way). As long as you are physically able to do the job, the trucking industry is happy to have you.
Tons. One of our most popular forum topics is the subject of age and being "too old to become a truck driver". The answer is always "No".
Many people go into the industry after retiring from law enforcement or the military. Many others are just switching careers later in life, or can finally go over-the-road after their children have grown up and left the house.
Really, the only difference for older drivers is that, by being human, the likelihood that you will be dealing with some kind of medical issues goes up as your age does. But as long as you can handle the physical part of the job, and pass the DOT and company physicals, there are no real obstacles for you.
Absolutely not. In fact, the FMCSA only places minimum ages for CDL drivers. Additionally, many companies also have a MINIMUM hiring age, due in part for a preference for hiring drivers with a bit more wisdom of age and experience (as well as for insurance reasons).

If you tuned in to last night’s Republican debate expecting to hear about income inequality, education or racial justice, you would have been disappointed. During the three hours that Republican candidates were on stage, climate change didn’t come up, nor did women’s rights. Instead the discussion stuck closely to just one topic: national security. That’s because, with just seven weeks to go until the Iowa caucus, candidates are playing it safe.
At this stage in the race, the Republican hopefuls have a pretty good idea about who their respective supporters are and what they care about. They also know that attempting to reach out to prospective new voters could alienate existing ones and do more harm than good.
Take, for example, Trump’s proposed policy to ban Muslims from entering the United States. Though the stance has attracted widespread criticism, it’s a position that distinguishes him from the other candidates – and, far more importantly, it’s a popular position. Two-thirds of likely Republican primary voters supported Trump’s statement in a recent Bloomberg Politics poll. According to a survey by YouGov and the Economist last month, the more likely a respondent is to say that Muslims are an “immediate” threat to the US, the more likely they are to vote for Trump. Backing away from his initial statement would have been a bad move for the billionaire.
Though his language was a bit softened, Trump’s tone overall was unapologetic. That too might be based on a knowledge of numbers: non-conformity is a source of strength for the candidate. A poll released by ABC and the Washington Post on Tuesday found that 50% of Republicans who want an outsider are rooting for Trump – by contrast, only 21% of Republicans who value experience support the businessman. Those voters who think political experience is important simply aren’t the ones Trump is chasing.
But Trump wasn’t the only candidate to double down on his key demographic. The eight men and one woman participating in the debate were all likely well aware that terrorism is the issue mentioned most often when Republicans are asked how they’re deciding who to vote for.
Some candidates do better than others on the topic of national security, though. While 9% of respondents trusted Ben Carson to handle terrorism, according to yesterday’s poll, Jeb Bush managed to earn the trust of 14% of Republicans – no mean feat given that overall Bush is currently picking up just 4% of support (a number which Trump was no doubt well aware of when he jibed at Jeb that “nobody cares” about his campaign).
Trump is trusted on both terrorism and his ability to handle immigration. The latter explains his repeated references to “the wall” last night despite the fact that illegal immigration across the US-Mexico border is at its lowest level since 1974.
For those viewers who stuck with the debate until the end, they received little new information from the candidates – the closing remarks simply rehashed those of previous debates.
So it seems that for now, candidates are sticking closely to what they’re perceived to be good at. And this was just a taster. As primaries draw closer, risk-averse candidates on both sides of the spectrum will focus more of their energy on treading water with existing supporters rather than reach out to new ones.

Scientists develop a device capable of converting WiFi signals into electricity
American and Spanish scientists have developed a flexible device that can convert Wi-Fi signals into electricity to power electronic devices, handheld devices and medical devices.
The study, published Monday in the journal Nature, described the fully flexible radio frequency antenna that can convert AC electromagnetic waves into DC electricity.
The antenna is made of a new two-dimensional rectifier called molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), which is only three atoms thick, making it one of the best semiconductors in the world.
According to the study, when AC signals, including Wi-Fi, travel to the semiconductor, they turn into a DC voltage that can power the circuits or recharge the batteries.
In addition, the device is flexible, so it can cover very large areas such as the surfaces of buildings.
"We've created a new way to leverage future electronics by collecting Wi-Fi power in a way that's easily integrated into large areas," said co-author of the article, Tomas Palacios, a professor of electrical engineering at the Institute of Technology. Massachusetts Technology (MIT).
In experiments, the device can produce approximately 40 microwatts of power when exposed to the typical power levels of Wi-Fi signals that are approximately 150 microwatts. It is enough to illuminate a simple moving screen or silicon chips.
Most of the flexible rectifiers reported previously can not operate at low frequencies so they can not capture and convert the gigahertz frequencies used by the cell phone and Wi-Fi signals, according to the researchers.
But the MoS2 material is much faster in signal conversion and allows you to capture and convert up to 10 gigahertz of wireless signals.
The maximum output efficiency for the current device is 40%, depending on the input power of the Wi-Fi input. According to the study, at the typical Wi-Fi power level, the energy efficiency of the MoS2 rectifier is about 30%.
In addition, the device can be used to power implantable medical devices as it will not emit toxic lithium.
"It is much better to collect energy from the environment to feed these small laboratories inside the body and communicate data to external computers," said co-author of the article, Jesus Grajal, a researcher at the Technical University of Madrid.


American Kid, Patty Griffin's seventh album, is her first album of mainly new material since Children Running Through in 2007. In between, she made the Grammy Award-winning Downtown Church (2010), her version of classic gospel (though it featured three original songs). She also became a member of Band of Joy, the group in which leader Robert Plant and his cohorts meld British and American folk, rock and spiritual music.
