How long do Interior Designers go to school?
The price on becoming a designer isn't really a set price. Some designers go to school to obtain a BFA(bachelor of fine arts) (4yrs) or AA(associates of arts) (2yrs) and others can just pick it up. Fashion schools can be expensive but it all depends on where you go. The school I applied for is $35,085 a year and that's in L.A so it depends on where you go and how long you stay.
You should probably try to go into AP art classes because in highschool they don't have the class Interior Designing specifically. Actually, my high school has an interior design class...and ok, AP art classes I'll get into, but what other classes would provide me with more of the skills I need to become a successful interior designer?
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for an interior designer. Postsecondary education, especially a bachelor's degree, is recommended for entry-level positions in interior design. Two-year and 3-year programs also are available. Some States license interior designers. Education and training. Postsecondary education, especially a bachelor's degree, is recommended for entry-level positions in interior design. Training programs are available from professional design…

Though aboveground biomass (AGB) has an important contribution to the global carbon cycle, the information about storage and climatic effects of AGB is scare in Three-River Source Region (TRSR) shrub ecosystems. This study investigated AGB storage and its climatic controls in the TRSR alpine shrub ecosystems using data collected from 23 sites on the Tibetan Plateau from 2011 to 2013. We estimated the AGB storage (both shrub layer biomass and grass layer biomass) in the alpine shrubs as 37.49 Tg, with an average density of 1447.31 g m-2. Biomass was primarily accumulated in the shrub layer, which accounted for 92% of AGB, while the grass layer accounted for only 8%. AGB significantly increased with the mean annual temperature (P < 0.05). The effects of the mean annual precipitation on AGB were not significant. These results suggest that temperature, rather than precipitation, has significantly effects on of aboveground vegetation growth in the TRSR alpine shrub ecosystems. The actual and potential increase in AGB density was different due to global warming varies among different regions of the TRSR. We conclude that long-term monitoring of dynamic changes is necessary to improve the accuracy estimations of potential AGB carbon sequestration across the TRSR alpine shrub ecosystems.
High throughput sequencing technology is also called Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), which can sequence hundreds and thousands sequences in different samples at the same time. In the present study, the culture-independent high throughput sequencing technology was applied to sequence the fungi metagenomic DNA of the fungal internal transcribed spacer 1(ITS 1) in the root of Sinopodophyllum hexandrum. Sequencing data suggested that after the quality control, 22 565 reads were remained. Cluster similarity analysis was done based on 97% sequence similarity, which obtained 517 OTUs for the three samples (LD1, LD2 and LD3). All the fungi which identified from all the reads of OTUs based on 0.8 classification thresholds using the software of RDP classifier were classified as 13 classes, 35 orders, 44 family, 55 genera. Among these genera, the genus of Tetracladium was the dominant genera in all samples(35.49%, 68.55% and 12.96%).The Shannon's diversity indices and the Simpson indices of the endophytic fungi in the samples ranged from 1.75-2.92, 0.11-0.32, respectively.This is the first time for applying high through put sequencing technol-ogyto analyze the community composition and diversity of endophytic fungi in the medicinal plant, and the results showed that there were hyper diver sity and high community composition complexity of endophytic fungi in the root of S. hexandrum. It is also proved that the high through put sequencing technology has great advantage for analyzing ecommunity composition and diversity of endophtye in the plant.
Although large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC) stored in the shrublands, information about SOC storage was little on the Tibetan Plateau. This study aims to evaluate the spatial patterns and storage of SOC in the shrublands and the relationships of climatic variables and soil pH on the Tibetan Plateau.
We used 177 profiles of soil samples obtained from 59 shrubland sites on the northeast Tibetan Plateau from 2011 to 2013. Ordinary least squares regressions, curve estimation, and multiple linear regressions were used to evaluate controlling factors on SOC stock. Kriging interpolation was used to upscale sit-level measurements to the whole study area.
We found that SOC storage in the northeast Tibetan shrublands was 1.36 Pg C in the top 1 m with an average SOC stock of 12.38 kg m−2. SOC stock decreased from east to west and south to north but generally increased significantly with the mean annual temperature (MAT) and the mean annual precipitation (MAP), and tended to decrease with soil pH. Although similar relationships were also observed in alpine shrublands, the trends among SOC stock, MAP, and MAT were not observed in desert shrublands. Our results indicate that a reduction in soil pH accelerates the C sequestration potential. Furthermore, global warming contributed to C sequestration in alpine shrublands, specifically, SOC stock increased 8.44 kg m−2 with an increased unit of MAT in alpine shrublands just considering temperature effects. Meanwhile, the C sequestration was different among different regions due to the uneven increases in precipitation. However, in desert shrublands, MAP and MAT did not significantly affect SOC stock.
The results indicate that though a reduction in soil pH could contribute to C sequestration, MAT and MAP have different effects on SOC stock in different Tibetan Plateau shrublands. Increased MAT and MAP were 0.05 °C and 1.67 mm every year on the Tibetan Plateau, which will increase C sequestration in alpine shrublands, but might have limited impacts on desert shrublands, which help us comprehend soil C cycling in the global climate change scenario.
Background Rheum tanguticum Maxim. ex Balf is one of the plants generically known as rhubarb, a culinary vegetable that has long been used as a herbal remedy both in China and Europe. Increasing demand for rhubarb has triggered the overexploitation of Rh. tanguticum. Cultivation is therefore necessary for quality control and protection of wild resources. Nitrogen fertilizer plays an important role in cultivation. This study aimed to explore how nitrogen fertilizer affects the growth and quality of rhubarb on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. Results Nitrogen fertilizer promoted growth but had no significant influence on the active compounds of Rh. tanguticum. Generally, the N2 (150 kg ha(-1)) and N3 (225 kg ha(-1)) levels showed the most improved growth indexes, with no significant differences between them. The growth index and the amounts of eight of the nine studied active compounds in Rh. tanguticum increased from each year to the next and differed among growth stages. The contents of the active compounds were higher at the green stage and lower at the growth stage, which was opposite to the seasonal trends in root dry matter ratio. Gallic acid levels decreased with the growth of the plant. Conclusion The N2 level (150 kg ha(-1)) was the recommended nitrogen fertilizer level in this study. It was revealed that seasonal changes rather than nitrogen fertilizer influenced active compounds in the root of Rh. tanguticum. (c) 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

• Optimal dosages of phosphate and potassium fertilizer on R. tanguticum were firstly explored. • The U-shaped fluctuation curve of total anthraquinone content is firstly proposed. • Optimization of chromatographic columns was firstly proposed when detecting index constituents. • Total anthraquinone content of two-year-old plants had reached Chinese Pharmacopoeia standard.
The dried root of Rheum tanguticum plays an important role in formulations and prescriptions in traditional Chinese medicine and Kampo medicine. Due to over-exploitation, R. tanguticum resources have decreased sharply in recent years. The main objective of our investigation (a 3-year field experiment) was to explore the effect of different levels of phosphorus (superphosphate) and potassium (potassium sulfate) fertilizer on the biomass (root fresh weight, root increment, and root dry weight), yield, dry matter content, and anthraquinone content of this plant at different harvesting stages (green stage, growth stage, and wilting stage) under alpine conditions. The root fresh weight and root dry weight increased significantly at the wilting stage following treatment with 90 kg P2O5/ha (100% and 59%, respectively) in 2016 and 75 kg K2O/ha (43% and 41%, respectively) in 2015 compared to the control. The yield of root dry weight obtained from three-year-old R. tanguticum plants was 9200 kg/ha when 90 kg P2O5/ha of phosphorus fertilizer was applied, and 10,400 kg/ha when 75 kg K2O/ha of potassium fertilizer was applied. This yield reached a maximum at the wilting stage. The anthraquinone content of two-year-old R. tanguticum plants had already reached the standard level of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia; however, three-year-old plants had double the anthraquinone content of two-year-old plants. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers had no obvious influence on the anthraquinone content of R. tanguticum at the same harvesting stage.
Alpine shrubland ecosystems in the Three Rivers Source Region (TRSR) store substantial soil organic carbon (SOC), but the storage, patterns and control of SOC in those ecosystems have rarely been investigated. In this study, using data from 66 soil profiles surveyed from 22 sites between 2011 and 2013, we estimated the storage and patterns of SOC, and their relationships with climatic factors, elevation, ground cover and slope. Our results showed that SOC storage in the top 100 cm across the TRSR shrubland was 0.68 ± 0.38 Pg C, with an average SOC density (soil carbon storage per area) of 26.21 ± 14.58 kg m−2. Spatially, SOC density increased with longitude and latitude. Vertically, SOC in the topsoil at 30 cm and 50 cm accounted for 56% and 75%, respectively, of the total at 100 cm. SOC density showed a decreasing trend with increasing elevation, but it was greater in regions of higher ground cover. The density had no relationship with either mean annual precipitation or slope. Increasing mean annual temperature had positive effects on SOC density, which is inconsistent with the global trend. With increasing soil depth, however, the effects of temperature on SOC density were not significant. Therefore, in a global warming scenario, increasing temperature gives shrubland considerable C sink potential on the topsoil, and the regions of C sequestration differ as a result of uneven increases in temperature. Hence, further monitoring of dynamic changes is necessary to provide a more accurate assessment of potential C sequestration in TRSR shrubland.
• Storage and patterns of SOC were investigated in the TRSR shrubland. • SOC has no relationship with both precipitation and slope. • SOC was decreasing with elevation, but larger with both ground cover and temperature.

Overview: Atomic Vacation is a narrative game for virtual reality
/ Surreal landscapes explorations / Narrative Game/Poetic Puzzles
Core Gameplay Mechanics Brief
2.Interact with landscape to access story (narrative and database elements)
3.Take snapshots of the journey to share.
4. Complete language related tasks and “puzzles” in each scene.
1. Gone Home
Narrative game with a game mechanics consisting of user exploration of a place and interaction with objects.
2. Don’t Touch The Button
Game for Oculus Rift: you are locked in a room and must use various tools to find information and unlock different experiences e.g. hammer, number codes, screwdriver, color codes, etc.
3. Turing Test: Can Machines Think
Turing’s Imitation Game was never a test as to whether machines can think, it is a test to see what we humans think passes as human. Like Turing’s test, the puzzles in this game involve written language. How does one fail the test? Oppenheimer says that there are acts which although they would not destroy the human race, they would make anyone who remains wonder whether there were anything “human left.” This point will be made overtly in the first scene.
The Elevator Pitch
Atomic Vacation is a compelling, futuristic narrative game for VR. Through exploration and interaction with data objects, the visual representation of a robot girl’s memory banks, the user helps Shizuku, the last sentient survivor of a nuclear apocalypse on Earth, recall her memories of that place and her unusual relationship to the woman scientist charged with teaching her how to be “human.”
Project Description (Brief)
Atomic Vacation is an exploratory landscape narrative game for Oculus Rift that tells the story of Shizuku, a little Japanese robot girl, from a near post-apocalyptic future, the lone inhabitant of a rocket ship on a mission to find inhabitable planets. It offers a significant transmedia component: the online website www.atomicvacation.com that will contain an interactive data visualization of Shizuku’s memory banks, a user-generated archive, and a souvenir shop. Optimally, these will be displayed in an art installation that uses documentation and memorabilia from my own “atomic vacation” through Japan and the American West as well as a video of my interview with Hiroshi Ishiguro’s lifelike androids about various aspects related to how we conceive of someone being “human” (filming planned for early spring 2017).
Atomic Vacation takes its inspiration from Alan Turing’s “Imitation Game” which was not really about whether machines can think, but rather a test of what humans conceive of as “passing” as human. Like the Imitation Game, Atomic Vacation uses written language, in the form of language games, to offer player’s a kind of Turing Test. Atomic Vacation uses both narrative content and game mechanics to challenge players to think about what it means to be human in an increasingly computer mediated and virtual world, and to consider the role of language in limiting or expanding our view and in making sense of things.
What sets this project apart?
Profound and compelling ideas presented in an accessible game setting
Language games are distinctly rare especially in VR
Transmedia: online map, “souvenir” store, possibly art installation
Core Gameplay Mechanics
1. Exploration *** part of all environments
User movement is free, but confined to a domestic interior in Scene 1. In scene 2, it is not constricted, but it is endless, directionless darkness, until one illuminates words, which both creates orientation and a lit passage to the next environment. Scene 3 allows the user to walk down a seemingly endless desert highway shooting things. Scene 4 allows slow movement through a semiabstract decimated landscape or one can move faster in a bird’s eye view but, less detail is seen. Scene 5: movement restricted—on a platform in deep space surrounded by vintage postcards of Earth. >
2. Take a photo ***part of all environments
In each environment, the user is encouraged to take souvenir snapshots. These can be used for orienting the user in the landscape (with the help of the online mind-map) or can be sent to friends and will be archived online with the mind map at atomicvacation.com. In scene 4, the user will see poetry scrolling across the sky with clouds both moving supernaturally fast. The only way to read these words (computer-human hybrid poetry) is by taking a picture.
Scene Specific Mechanics:
4. Interaction with Data Objects: Scene 1 and 5
In scene 1, the user’s primary interaction with the environment is through game objects which the user brings closer, “opens” and accesses via sustained gaze on a target.
In scene 5, the user uses gaze to open up banal Youtube videos of “the real” places e.g. Rehoboth beach.
5. Word Maze: Scene 2
In Scene 2: The user is in the dark, unable to move. Her gaze is like a flashlight, it can illuminate words in the dark. By keeping her gaze a word for a few seconds, she causes it to be illuminated. Using the light from these words or from her flashlight, she can make her way through the maze created by the words to reach the center where the final word “rainbow and teardrop” can be found and collected. A voiceover reads Turing’s Imitation Game paper while the user plays.
6. FPS— destroy boxes with a flamethrower: Scene 3
In Scene 3: the user operates a flame thrower to evaporate rotating cubes printed with major categories of human thought like “Science” and “Sex”. Smoke floats up bringing with it spoken words of poetry related in some way to the topic.
7. Collect fragments of poetry and make a poem :Scene 4
Users collect five fragments of computer-human poetry in a bleak, post apocalyptic black, white and gray landscape. The user will be asked to take a snap and share it.
8. Bonus Scene: Planting Rainbow Teardrops Initiates an Animation:
If the player collects at least 3 of the teardrops, after the last environment, the postcards will crumble, she will be floating in space above the world and can sprinkle her rainbow teardrops on the Earth. This causes a beautiful animation to begin.

Article IV, §4, U.S. Constitution, requires The United States to protect each of the States against Invasion. It says:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion… [emphasis added]
In Federalist No. 43 (3rd para under 6.), James Madison says of this provision:
A protection against invasion is due from every society to the parts composing it…Article I, §8, clause 15 grants to Congress the power to provide for calling forth the Militia to [among other things] “repel Invasions”.
But the federal government has persistently refused to call forth the Militia to protect the States on our Southern Border from Invasion!
So! What are States to do when their Lands are invaded, their citizens murdered and kidnapped, their young corrupted by drug-trafficking invaders, and their budgets imploded from unconstitutional federal mandates that we subsidize the invaders? Are the States to sit with folded hands and be destroyed because the federal government refuses to perform its constitutional duty? No!
We are Americans! If the federal government refuses to perform its constitutional duty to call out the Militia to protect the States against Invasion, then the States must perform that Duty. And as shown below, they have both an implied and an expressly retained authority to do so.
Article 1, §8, clause 16 grants to Congress the power to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States. This clause reserves to the States the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.

The withdrawal of the division comes as part of the IDF’s plans for a long war against Hamas, while maintaining the troops’ competence.
The division’s units will be given a short break, then will return for a training period, after which the IDF will decide if and where to redeploy them according to its latest assessments.
Over the past two months, the 36th Division operated in northern Gaza, dismantling Hamas’s battalions.
The 162nd Division remains in northern Gaza, carrying out clean-up operations to locate Hamas’s infrastructure and kill or capture its remaining operatives; the 99th Division is operating in the central part of the Strip; and the 98th Division is fighting Hamas in the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza.

§ Lord Marlesford
asked Her Majesty's Government:
How many holders of premium bonds hold the maximum holding of £20,000; when this maximum was fixed; what it would be today if the original figure were adjusted for inflation; and whether they will increase the figure. [HL3837]43WA
§ Lord McIntosh of Haringey
At 9 April 2002, there are currently 304,100 premium bond holders who have the maximum amount invested. The holding limit for premium bonds is £20,000. It was increased from £10,000 to £20,000 on 13 April 1993. Using the "all Items RPI", the limit adjusted for inflation would be £24,822.19. We keep the holding limit under review, but there are currently no plans to increase it.


Barton County is fortunate in that our communities make an effort to invite legislators representing the constituents of our area to meet face to face. Likewise those representatives make an effort to attend events like legislative coffees like the one held Wednesday morning at Ellinwood.
State Treasurer Ron Estes presented the program at the Ellinwood Rotary Club Tuesday, April 19. He gave an informative talk about the state's efforts in returning unclaimed property to Kansans. Anything from payroll to the contents of safe deposit boxes are turned over to the state after five years if businesses are unable to find the owner and do so themselves, he said.
Since 2012, the Family Crisis Center Inc. has been working to raise awareness among the people in its service area to domestic and sexual violence through signature "Red Shoe" events leading up to the finale "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes." Many who have seen their male co-workers hobbling about in red high-heels as they raise funds for the cause have been persuaded to help, which has allowed the programs offered through the FCC to touch the lives of many, both locally and regionally.
Saturday morning, team members from both of Great Bend Middle School's soccer teams, the boys and the girls, gathered at the north end of Stone Lake to spend some quality time performing community service together. The original plan was to travel west on the Arkansas River levy bike path cleaning up trash, but with cold wind and cloudy skies threatening rain, they altered their plan and chose a shorter route. Starting at the parking lot and working their way around the lake to the entrance of the bike path, they would travel east to Fry St. on the path.
Several points of new business made for a long but informative Ellinwood City Council meeting Tuesday night. Mayor Irlan Fullbright congratulated returning council persons James McCormick and Kirk Clawson, as well as newly elected Ken Lebbin who will filled an open spot. Also-ran Kathy Hines was also in attendance at the meeting, and during visitor comments congratulated Lebbin for his success, before objecting to the decision to install Chris Komarek as the acting City Manager following Bud Newberry's resignation earlier in March.
The Heartland Center for Spirituality staff and advisory council is in the midst of planning and preparations for the second annual "Hero for Heartland" Afternoon Tea and Savory Delights. This event will take place on Sunday April 24 with a come and go Tea and Tours of the Great Bend Dominican Motherhouse from 1 – 4 p.m. Advisory council members Sr Jane Belanger, Carrie Buhler, Keith Funk, Danny Ginn, Dixie Heinrich, Ken Holderread, Pattie McGurk, Sclie Murray, Ken Moeder and Denise Wilkens along with committee members, Karen Axman, Mary Klinge and Judy Spangler have been instrumental in the planning stages.
The Hoisington City Council welcomed newly elected members and honored those retiring from service at Monday night's meeting. Nancy Farmer, Ward 1 and Jim Sekavec, Ward 2 both retired following last week's election. Both were presented plaques, recognizing their many years on the council.
Barton County business owners have noticed a surge in burglaries in recent years, and frustration is running high. In 2014, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's report on crimes known to law enforcement, Great Bend was number three in the state of Kansas for number of burglaries per 1,000 residents. Only Pittsburgh and Coffeyville were higher.
We've all heard the saying, "a little goes a long way." For 57 families in a six-city area, the saying rings true, says Vicky Dayton of Housing Opportunities Inc. The non-profit housing solutions company builds affordable housing through the use of federal and state grants. Since 1999, over $40 million in federal and state awards have been awarded, but it almost didn't happen, Dayton said.
Since its founding in 1872, Great Bend has held spring elections for local officials, and this year saw the last. In 1886, there was a particularly tight race for mayor, so in the spirit of honoring the past and saying goodbye to a long-standing election tradition, this week Out of the Morgue looks back at that election and the results.
A provisional ballot cast in Great Bend's Third Ward could change the outcome of one city council race. Unofficial results Tuesday showed Cory Zimmerman winning the seat with 16 votes, while Doug Keiswetter had 15 and needed one to tie. Thomas Boor was a close third with 12 votes. All three were write-in candidates.
In light of the criticism raised by conservative groups over Senator Jerry Moran's support of consideration of Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, it's time we all refresh our memory of what the term conservatism actually means.
Each week we'll take a step back into the history of Great Bend through the eyes of reporters past. We'll reacquaint you with what went into creating the Great Bend of today, and do our best to update you on what "the rest of the story" turned out to be.

Dentist held for painkillers
Abuse of Vicodin is suspected in the year's first practitioner arrest
State narcotics agents arrested a 42-year-old Honolulu dentist yesterday morning at his Kapiolani Boulevard office on suspicion of fraudulently obtaining prescription drugs.
The arrest "culminated a four-month investigation of pharmaceutical diversion," said Keith Kamita, chief of the state Narcotics Enforcement Division.
The suspect "more than likely was self-abusing" the prescription drug hydrocodone, known by the trade name Vicodin. However, the investigation is ongoing, Kamita said.
Hydrocodone is the No. 1 abused prescription drug, Kamita said. Hydrocodone, used as a cough suppressant and to treat moderate to moderately severe pain, is listed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as a Schedule III controlled substance. Other examples of Schedule III drugs are codeine and anabolic steroids.
The dentist, who has not yet been charged, was arrested at 7:30 a.m. at his Kapiolani Boulevard office on suspicion of eight counts of fraudulently obtaining a controlled substance.
Agents, armed with a search warrant, searched his dental office for records relating to the alleged crimes, Kamita said. The records are being analyzed.
The dentist was released about 10 a.m. pending further investigation.
The suspect's license was not affected, and he is still legally allowed to practice dentistry, Kamita said.
The Narcotics Enforcement Division has investigated 76 cases of forging or altering prescriptions last year.
It has also investigated 14 cases in which patients had been allegedly seeing multiple doctors to obtain prescriptions illegally, five cases involving nurses and 12 cases involving practitioners (including physicians and dentists) who were improperly prescribing or diverting pharmaceuticals.
"Across the nation, this is becoming a big problem," Kamita said, noting that pharmaceutical drug abuse is the No. 3 substance abuse problem in the country.
Yesterday's arrest is the first Hawaii arrest of a practitioner for the year, Kamita said.
While forging a prescription is uncommon, it is not uncommon to obtain prescriptions by fraud or deceit, such as writing in a fictitious name or sometimes depriving a patient in a hospital, Kamita explained.
He said about half of the cases involve self-abusing drugs, while the other half involves some type of inappropriate prescribing.

, 1905-83, English writer, b. Budapest of Hungarian parents. Koestler spent his early years in Vienna and Palestine. An influential Communist journalist in Berlin in the early 1930s, Koestler was subsequently captured by Franco's forces during the Spanish Civil War; Spanish Testament
(1937) relates his experiences. Released in 1937, he edited an anti-Nazi and anti-Soviet French weekly and served in the French Foreign Legion (1939-40). After the German invasion he was interned in a concentration camp, but escaped from France in 1940 and lived thereafter in England. Koestler broke with Communism as a result of the Soviet purge trials of the late 1930s. Darkness at Noon
(1941), his most important novel, vividly describes the execution of an old Bolshevik for "deviationist" belief in the individual. Other significant accounts of the evil of Stalinism include The Yogi and the Commissar
(1945), and a famous essay in The God That Failed
(ed. by R. H. Crossman, 1951). In his later years Koestler ranged over a wide variety of subjects. His later novels include Thieves in the Night
(1946), a powerful description of the conflict between Arabs and Jews in Palestine, The Age of Longing
(1951), and The Call Girls: A Tragicomedy
(1973). He wrote extensively on science in such works as The Lotus and the Robot
(1960), The Act of Creation
(1964), The Ghost in the Machine
(1968), The Case of the Midwife Toad
(1971), and The Roots of Coincidence
(1972). Greatly concerned in later life with euthanasia and the right to die, Koestler and his wife committed a joint suicide in 1983. Koestler combined a brilliant journalistic style with an understanding of the great movements of his times and a participant's sense of commitment.
See his autobiography in 3 vol., Arrow in the Blue (1952), The Invisible Writing (1954), and Janus: A Summing Up (1978); biographies by D. Cesarani (1999) and M. Scammell (2009); studies by W. Mays (1973), S. Pearson (1978), and P. J. Keane (1980).

Communication plays a significant role in our everyday life; we use words to express our fear, anger, happiness, sadness and, perhaps, disgust. It’s the basis of human interaction. Without communication, our lives would’ve been much duller, and we’d never be able to read people’s feelings. However, there’s also an unspoken but a pretty intriguing part to our communication: our body language. The way we walk, our facial expressions, voice tones, etc. – every little movement could let our peers dig deeper into our inner emotions.
Now, many are familiar with the ongoing Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial. The case remains to be the number one discussion topic among netizens, but for those who have been living under a rock – Depp is suing Heard for $50 million over the op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post in 2018.
Every supporter is eager to know the truth, and a body language expert called Janine Driver, once again, took the matter into her own hands and analyzed Amber Heard’s recent testimony. Moreover, Bored Panda has already covered Janine’s previous examination concerning both Depp and Heard, so click here if you’re interested to learn more.
More info: CourtTV
Body language specialist reviews Amber Heard’s testimony and examines her nonverbal communication
Janine Driver is a New York Times best-selling author and an award-winning speaker. The woman spent over 16 years working as a federal law enforcement officer, and is now focused on sharing her “people-reading” skills with the world. Driver has previously examined the physical behavior of both Johnny Depp and Amber Heard – however, she was once again invited by Court TV to share her opinions regarding Amber Heard’s recent testimony.
Gestured signals are crucially important, as they can help determine the person’s true emotions
Whether you choose to believe in the body language phenomenon or not, understanding what hides behind a masked individual is not an easy job. There are many misconceptions regarding the people-reading process, for instance, every country has its own set of gestures and mannerisms, so what might seem like a misleading body signal could mean a completely normal thing to a person outside of your culture.
Nevertheless, the whole world is watching the seemingly never-ending trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. The couple has an uneasy history together and their fans are hoping that this lawsuit will be able to clear the air, and let the ex-lovers finally move on from such an exhausting period of their life.
Janine Driver begins her analysis by examining Heard’s first statement; at the very beginning, the actress shared her thoughts regarding the lawsuit and even mentioned that this process is the most “painful and difficult” thing she’s ever gone through – Driver says that at the end of that sentence, Amber has sucked in her lip, sort of replicating a similar motion that we did when we sucked our thumbs, revealing that it’s a comforting gesture.
The body language expert says that Amber Heard uses a lot of start-stop sentences, meaning that she’s being deceptive
Another issue with Amber’s testimony is that she uses a lot of start-stop sentences. The body language expert says that this type of structure is congruent with someone who’s being misleading. The woman also mentioned that Heard’s “percentages” are off, which basically means that she’s very talkative at the beginning, yet when it comes to the actual incident she barely says a thing. For instance, Driver has mentioned the infamous case of Jussie Smollett, who happened to stage a hate crime in Chicago in 2019. His percentages were similar to Amber’s and they both gave a lot of irrelevant information.
Janine says that liars often give a ton of truthful information at the start, to sort of distract the people from the actual events. When Amber Heard started speaking about the attack, she gets to about 15%, when in reality it should’ve been at least 50%, which is why the body language experts says that she’s simply stacking the deck.
Moreover, the expert also analyzed her actual statement. At one point, when the actress was talking about the attack, she said “he slapped me” – however, Janine encouraged everyone to re-listen to the clip because what Amber actually does is, she drops the pronoun and says “slapped me” instead. The body language specialist reveals that when people drop or change the pronouns it, once again, means that the individual is being deceptive. Besides, Heard is also guilty of changing her tenses, which is often a mistake that those who make stories up on the spot do.
Although, when Heard gave a statement regarding one of Depp’s unpleasant comments, the expert believed it to be true
The next part of the analysis was focused on Amber Heard’s description of one of Depp’s comments which made the woman feel “dirty”. The professional believes that this part is truthful, she says that when Heard talks about the unpleasant remarks that her former husband made, her upper lip comes up, which shows disgust, plus, the overall body language and her voice tone make it all congruent. Though, the problem is that when she talks about the attack, the body language and the story isn’t harmonious.
Moreover, the actress was also noticed holding her nose up high, and Driver said that when people do that, it portrays their confidence, superiority, arrogance and indignation. These qualities are totally out of place for an abused woman, meaning that it’s pure smugness.
The specialist says that the reason why Depp kept his head down was because he wanted to “alleviate that negative feeling”
When it comes to Johnny, during Heard’s testimony, his head was facing the table and he never seemed to make the eye contact with his former partner. Janine Driver says that the actor does it to ease the negative feeling. Moreover, the body language expert mentioned that people who break eye contact are usually the ones who have been abused.
The victims will often avoid eye contact all together. Janine revealed that many people have this common misconception about the eye avoidance, thinking that the individual is being deceptive. However, when folks do that it’s mostly connected with the fact that they simply want to avoid listening to the person’s “obnoxious”, as Janine said, talk.
The defamation case is far from being done, and we’re yet to hear all the details regarding the Depp-Heard relationship, but what do you think about the situation so far? Do you agree with what the body language expert has said?

RMT Technology Adds To Expert Team To Help Meet Growing Client Demand
December 4, 2018
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has gained new powers allowing it to access information on all credit and debit card payments made to UK businesses, with the aim of cracking down on tax evasion.
According to HMRC, the information will be used to ensure that traders account for all taxes that are due, and that the system is fair for all businesses.
Under the new legislation, which came into effect on 1 September, HMRC can obtain data on all card payments made to UK businesses during the previous four years. HMRC will begin requesting data from merchant acquirers, who process card transactions, this week, and annually thereafter.
This data will be cross-referenced with information already held by the tax authority.
The measure is expected to reduce fraud by more than £50m a year.
David Gauke, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, said, ‘The Government has given HMRC nearly £1bn to tackle fraud and evasion, and these new powers give HMRC an extra tool to ensure a level playing field between businesses, and also reducing opportunities for those who try and cheat the system’.

IPART has released a Draft Report on its assessment of Blacktown City Council’s revised Contributions Plan No. 24 for Schofields, which consists of two parts:
- CP24L – Schofields (Land), and
- CP24W – Schofields (Works)
The plan applies to the development in the Schofields Precinct within Sydney’s North West Growth Area. Our Media Release and Fact Sheet are available here.
Our draft recommendations
We recommend the council comprehensively review the plan within 18 months because it does not have regard to:
- the higher than previously forecast development yield and population
- major upcoming Planning Proposals for the precinct, or
- changes associated with the North West Growth Centre Stormwater Management Strategy Review.
Such a review would also allow the council to update estimates of the cost of works using the best available information. In the short term, we recommend the council: remove land and works for some stormwater management infrastructure; make small adjustments to land costs and plan administration; and use a revised population estimate for the apportionment of transport, open space, community services and the E2 Conservation Zone and the calculation of contribution rates.
These changes would:
- Reduce per dwelling/lot contributions by over 20%.
- Reduce the total costs in the plan by $27.2 million (10.4%), from $262.6 million to $235.4 million.

I love gardens but do not enjoy gardening. But there is a garden that is so special, so wondrous; I never really desire to leave. Some call it their special place to meet with the Lover of our soul, some call it the place of perfect peace, some call it the intimate place of prayer; I call it all the above and countless other terms of tender endearments.
Take Me to the Garden
Take me to the garden Lord where,
The flowers bloom and the aroma of love fills the air
Where my heart’s whisper bursts in song,
And my inner man rejoices it is where it belongs.
Show me by Your presence what one day forever will be,
A garden of paradise where my soul is set free.
In this sweet place I can see farther and my heart is attune,
To the truth of the promise, You are coming soon.
Take me to the garden so I am made stronger still,
So when I leave I will follow hard after Your will.
Infuse me with the ability to carry the truth to another,
So the loving place of rest and favor they too discover.
Wrap Your loving Spirit around me so I am at peace within,
So I can easily find my way back to the garden again.
One day we will be gathered like flowers before You placed;
A beautiful example of how Your mercy worked with grace.
For the Lord shall comfort Zion:
he will comfort all her waste places;
and he will make her wilderness like Eden,
and her desert like the garden of the Lord;
joy and gladness shall be found therein,
thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Song of Songs 5:1
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse:
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice;
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk:
eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
One thought on “Take Me to the Garden By Brenda Drake”
I have this Kincaid hanging in my house. Thank you for the beautiful poem to go with the picture.

Since the last gallery exhibit was entitled "restless", I wanted to explore the opposite notion of stillness.
There are moments when I walk into a patient's room that the stillness is so prevalent I have to check to see if the patient is still actually breathing. While the traditional thought of stillness is an absence of motion, stillness also refers to a quietness or calm that can actually occur in motion. I've experienced this form of stillness in dying patients' rooms as well.
It seems the most traditional way of depicting stillness in art is to display water. It is easy to capture the idea of non-movement with still water. Add some mist and a boat and you've got the most common symbol for stillness, as this photograph from unknown source depicts.
The following 3 photographs I've collaged together for better formatting, but to see the originals follow the title links. On the upper left is a variation of the water concept, sans boat and instead lovely grass sprouting from perfectly still water and reflected below. This work "Stillness" is by photograph Gunther Dippe. The next, in lower left is a photo by Kris Schirmer entitled "Stillness- and the sun shines in my heart." A fallen flower petal symbolizes an ending to me, thus this piece resonated the type of stillness I feel in the room of someone dying. Finally from a Flikr photostream by Qmanes is "Stillness" shot with an extremely long shutter speed. The motion of the water and clouds is perfectly juxtaposed to the stationary object in the lower right.
I found this abstract work to the left by Linda Cole of encaustic wax on screen entitled "Stillness in Motion" To me the motion is symbolized with the circle, while the stillness is represented by the linear portion.
Finally, sticking with the tradition of finding a sculpture, I found a digital print series that at least looks like sculpture. The series can be found at Gladys Triana's website. Of the four listed, it is "Stillness XIII"2007 that is displayed on the right.
Looking back at the art work from "restless" and comparing it to these is an exercise in itself. The emotional response the art evokes seems synonymous to the titles.

Syria on Wednesday released from jail 755 prisoners who had been involved in anti-regime unrest, state television said, as Arab observers deployed in flashpoint hubs to implement a peace deal.
"Seven hundred and fifty-five prisoners who had been involved in the recent incidents in Syria and who did not have Syrian blood on their hands have been released" from prison, the state broadcaster said in a news flash.
In November, Syria announced it had freed 1,180 prisoners citing similar conditions.
Releasing prisoners is one of the key conditions of an Arab League roadmap approved by Syria last month to end the country's crisis. The accord also calls for an end to repression of pro-democracy protests.

"Closest thing to breast milk! Best formula ever!"
"My daughter has been exclusively breastfed for almost a year. She’s hated every other formula we’ve tried. As she was approaching her first bday I stumbled upon y’all’s goat milk formula and bought it! Gave it to her two weeks ago just to try and she LOVED it! I stopped nursing cold turkey that day and she hasn’t even been bothered by no longer breastfeeding! So thankful to have found a clean formula to transition my daughter from breast milk. Love your product so much!!!!- One Happy Momma
"Best ingredient formula I can find!"
"I'm in love. The first oil listed is coconut oil!! Do you know how hard it is to find a formula that doesn't use a ton of horrible seed oils?? This stuff is gold. And another one of the top ingredients listed is DHA. My baby loves this stuff, he downs it. It smells really good. And it mixes great!!"- Neal & Gracen Thomas
"I was previously ordering goat milk formula from Europe, and now that my son is 12m did some research and tried Growth Spurt formula. My son loves it! The ingredients are even better than the formula I was ordering from Europe. So happy to have found this!"- Happy Customer
"Grandson is Thriving! Great decision getting this milk!"
"My grandson is thriving on Growth Spurt!

My grandson was low in his weight, when they switched to this product he gained his weight and is developing amazing! Thank you for creating such a great product."- Grandmom
"What I liked about this toddler formula is the ingredients and that my child liked the flavor. He is a picky eater so it was nice to find the formula he likes. My 3 year old is drinking it too! I’ll be getting more cans once we run out. Thank you for making this product. Nowadays good healthy formulas for toddlers are hard to find."- Maria

On Saturday night, Antifa and other far-left militants in Portland gathered for a vigil held for Patrick Lyoya, a black man who was fatally shot by a Grand Rapids officer earlier this month, and caused damage across the northern part of the city to small businesses as well as a Portland Police Bureau precinct.
According to Portland Police, the group gathered in Peninsula Park, and began marching through the city at 9 pm.
Members of the group reportedly vandalized a coffee shop in the 6000 block of Northeast Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, breaking its windows and launching what police said were explosive devices at the building. A few blocks away, group members defaced a bank, and broke the widow of another nearby bank building.
Police noted that three bus shelters were also damaged, and numerous street signs were vandalized, scrawled with graffiti.
The group later marched towards the Portland Police's North Precinct, where at least one of the group members started a fire in a dumpster, which was later extinguished by Portland Fire and Rescue after officers tried unsuccessfully to put the flames out.
No immediate arrests at this point have been made. The investigation is ongoing.
In posts made to Twitter, far-left activists called for "revenge" attacks and "solidarity action" against the police.
On April 4, Lyoya was fatally shot in the head by a Grand Rapids, Michigan, police officer after he refused to comply with the cop's commands, continually struggled against his arrest, and kept placing his hand on the officer's taser gun.
It was revealed later that Lyoya had a previous conviction for assaulting a pregnant woman, and later violated his probation and did not pay his fine, resulting in the state garnishing his wages beginning in 2019.
Following the fatal traffic stop, groups like Antifa called for violence in the city, with one account saying: "Abolish the pigs, burn that sh*t down."
Black Lives Matter protestors gathered outside the Grand Rapids police station, with some demanding revenge for Lyoya's police-involved death.

In the spring of 2020, COVID-19 regulations meant that workplaces, schools, restaurants, stores, and other communal gathering spaces were temporarily closed to the public, which also meant that social opportunities were suddenly very few and far between. So, it’s no surprise that as people began to find more ways to connect with others virtually, interest in video games began to boom. Online gaming became an ideal way to pass time during lockdown, providing both entertainment and social connection for gamers. But has the pandemic changed our gaming habits?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people began to explore gaming as a way to entertain themselves at home. With no opportunities to go out, meet friends, visit restaurants or bars or go to the cinema, online gaming became a top way to pass the time, socialize with friends, and even make new friends online. From playing casino games at https://www.bestusacasinosites.com/ to buying new gaming consoles online, people who may not have seen themselves as a gamer pre-COVID found a new hobby.
Rise of Online Multiplayer
Online multiplayer games became even bigger during the pandemic, giving groups of friends a chance to chill out together virtually, socialize and enjoy an activity that they could do together even from miles apart. Games like Among Us became huge during the pandemic, giving families and friends who were forced to stay apart during the lockdown a chance to connect, wind down, and chat while having fun together without the need to leave their couch.
More Parents Gaming
During the pandemic, kids were out of school and parents were working from home, giving families a chance to spend more time together than ever before. With family members no longer going outside of the home as much to their regular activities, gaming became a great way to pass the time and have fun together while staying at home, with parents reporting that since the COVID-19 pandemic, they understand their child’s gaming worlds a little bit better and are more likely to get involved and play together.
Increased Game Streaming
Playing games themselves was not the only form of gaming entertainment available to those stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many gamers saw this opportunity to spend more time building a gaming stream channel on platforms like Twitch while in lockdown, and more people became interested in watching Twitch streams and getting involved with the social aspect of things during their newfound free time.
More Active Games
With gyms closed and the weather not always the best for going for a run or a cycle in the park, many people also looked into the option of using video games to stay fit and active while staying at home during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Active games that get you up out of your seat playing a virtual sport or dancing became a fun way to spend time with family and reduce the risk of a sedentary lifestyle while staying at home.
Have your gaming habits changed since the COVID-19 pandemic?

A Democratic organization has released videos of Mitt Romney from 2006 commenting on the Massachusetts health law — remarks that could prove awkward for the presumptive GOP nominee.
The first video shows a March 2006 news conference, in which then-Gov. Romney said, “With regards to the individual mandate, the individual responsibility program that I proposed, I was very pleased that the compromise between the two houses includes the personal responsibility mandate.” In a television clip of the event, Mr. Romney called the Massachusetts requirement that people buy health-care coverage “essential for bringing the health care costs down for everyone and getting everyone the health insurance they need.”
In a second video, taped in April 2006 when the bill passed the Massachusetts legislature’s conference committee, Mr. Romney addressed the employer mandate that penalized some companies for not offering health insurance, saying such a penalty is “It is a fee, it’s an assessment,” he said. He added that the fee was being assessed on those who were “abusing the free care pool.”
Mr. Romney, now the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has attacked the individual mandate in the federal health-care act that President Barack Obama got passed in 2010. The mandate, which was upheld by the Supreme Court on Thursday, is a core part of the federal law and the legal case around it.
The videos were found very recently in Massachusetts state archives by American Bridge, a democratic opposition research group, according to a spokesman. American Bridge has been reviewing old television footage of Mr. Romney for months.
The first video is significant because it shows Mr. Romney broadly defending the principle of the individual mandate.
Mr. Romney’s earlier support for the mandate in the Massachusetts health plan has dogged him on the campaign trail this election, adding to allegations by other Republicans and by Democrats that he flip-flops on critical issues.
Critics say he has backpedaled on his support for the Massachusetts health-care law, a hallmark of his time as governor. But his campaign spokeswoman said Thursday that Mr. Romney has consistently said that he never supported a federal mandate.
Mr. Obama and other Democrats frequently cited Mr. Romney’s health care mandate proposal as an example of a workable approach to expanding health care insurance when they were drawing up the Affordable Care Act in 2009 and 2010. They said the concept—which is supposed to spread the cost and risk among a wider pool of insurees– had originally been proposed by conservatives.
Mr. Romney has said he didn’t advocate the Massachusetts model for the rest of the U.S. “I would never in a million years take what we did for our state and say, “Let’s impose that on every state in the country. That’s wrong,” he said on a Fox News show in 2011.
But the difference between Mr. Romney’s embrace of the individual mandate in Massachusetts and his battle against the similar provision in the federal Affordable Care Act will likely be a target by Mr. Obama during the debates this fall.
After the Supreme Court’s decision was announced Thursday morning, Mr. Romney said he would repeal the law on day one of his presidency if he is elected this year.
Correction: The second Romney video was referring to the employer mandate. An earlier version of this post incorrectly said the second video was referring to the individual mandate.


Science is currently trying to figure out why so-called prostate orgasms feel so intense—but, frankly, the why is unimportant. So, I talked with Sex and Relationships coach Dr. Charlie Glickman, PhD, who literally wrote the book on prostate pleasure to explain just how to enjoy this under-appreciated erogenous zone.
Anal sex is becoming less of a taboo, but it can be a daunting idea and consent is essential. Once a taboo, anal sex is now seen as an enjoyable addition to many sexual relationships. So now your partner wants to give it a try.
Being in the dark is not doing your sexual health or self-understanding any favors. It's important that we talk about all kinds of sex because not everyone is having, or wants to have, "penis in the vagina" sex. If you do have "penis in the vagina" sex and are curious about something else, or are finding that that type of sex is not for you and you'd just like to explore other options, it's helpful to know the facts.
As more couples explore this type of sex, understanding the risks, rewards, and proper strategy is important. According to the Centers for Disease Control CDCanal sex is primarily growing in popularity with couples under age You might think of anal sex as anal penetration with a penis, but you have a few more options. Anal sex can also be performed with fingers or the tongue.
So many guys are eager for anal sex. Maybe they're curious. Maybe they think everyone else is doing it.
The book is amazing not just for its straight-up factual information on practically any aspect of sex you can think of, but also for its easy, nonjudgmental, at-times humorous tone. Here, Joannides talks us through the realities of making anal both as safe and as pleasurable as possible. This seemed shocking at the time.
I was in high school when Sex and the City premiered, and like many women of my generation and the generations that followed, that show taught me a lot about sex. I knew that gay men engaged in it, but I held on to some pretty old-school notions when it came to why straight women would do it. Whoever heard of Mrs. Up-the-Butt might reside.


Microsoft has admitted that a bug in Windows XP may result in data loss if users reinstall, repair or upgrade the operating system.
According to the software giant, the problem is caused by an errant XP Wizard which can spell disaster for saved data and system settings.
It creates a file, Undo_guimode.txt, in the Windows\System32 folder that runs when users first start a computer with Windows XP preinstalled by a computer manufacturer.
If this file has been created when a user upgrades or repairs the OS, Microsoft warns: "You may lose data that is stored in the All Users folder and default program templates and settings that are stored in the Default User folder after you reinstall, repair, or upgrade Windows XP. You may be missing Start menu shortcuts, items in the Startup group, and documents, pictures, or music files that are stored in the Shared Documents folder."
The data loss will occur if a user attempts to perform any of the following actions:
- Reinstalling Windows XP in the same folder by clicking Upgrade (Recommended) after running Winnt32.exe, or by clicking the Install Windows XP link on the "Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP" screen.
- Repairing Windows XP by starting a computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM, pressing ENTER to set up Windows XP, and then pressing R to repair the selected installation.
- Upgrading a manufacturer-installed Windows XP Home Edition to the retail version of Windows XP Professional.
The problem occurs with both Windows XP Home and Professional editions. It does, however, apply only to computers which have had Windows XP preinstalled by a computer manufacturer.
In order to work round the bug, Microsoft advised users to delete the offending file and back up data: "To resolve this problem, restore the missing data and program shortcuts from a backup. To prevent this problem from occurring, manually delete the Undo_guimode.txt file from the Windows\System32 folder."
Microsoft promises that patches to resolve this problem will be available soon as a dynamic update from its website.
A separate update will be available for computer manufacturers and corporate administrators.

It's still unclear if the Dallas Cowboys should be taken seriously in the NFC. But, warts and all, they're still in the mix.
The Cowboys knocked off a stubborn Philadelphia Eagles team Sunday night, improving to 6-6 with a 38-33 win. Dallas now is seventh in the conference, trailing the 7-5 Seattle Seahawks by one game in the standings. The Seahawks have the head-to-head tiebreaker by virtue of their Week 2 win in Seattle.
Perhaps the biggest takeaway for the Cowboys is Dez Bryant, who appears to be taking his game to another level in his third season. The former first-round draft pick finished with five receptions for 97 yards and two touchdowns and now has 26 catches for 388 yards and five touchdowns in the past three weeks. That's star production.
This wasn't an easy win. The Eagles actually jumped out to a 14-3 lead, with Nick Foles playing the best football of his young career. Bryce Brown also impressed with 169 more yards on the ground, but his third lost fumble in two starts led to a back-breaking defensive touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Because October is National Fire Prevention Month, we want to remind our readers that the best investment they will ever make in home safety is to have a properly functioning smoke detector installed in every bedroom of their residence.
New technology — such as dual sensor smoke alarms that warn of both flame and smoke — has made these essential devices even more effective. Dual sensor alarms use both ionization and photoelectric technologies. An ionization smoke alarm warns of flaming fires, such as a cooking fire. The photoelectric alarm is more responsive to a smoldering fire, such as that from overheated wiring.
Firefighters say having a properly functioning smoke detector in the home more than doubles a person’s chances of surviving a house fire. And a smoke detector that has had its battery drained or removed is of no use in alerting a family to a fire.
Tennessee routinely ranks among the top five states in the nation when it comes to the number of residents killed in house fires. Many of those lives might have been saved by a fully functioning smoke detector.
Every fall there comes a story or two of a family left homeless by fire started by an auxiliary heater located too close to a flammable object. Taking a few simple precautions — such as keeping these devices away from curtains and drapes — can spare your family from such a tragedy.
The kitchen is another area home where residents should be concerned. More than 100,000 fires reported in the United States annually involve cooking equipment, and most are caused by unattended cooking.
Here are some other tips that state officials say can protect your family and home from a kitchen fire.
Finally, it’s a good idea for families to develop and practice a home evacuation plan. That includes:
Developing a plan by identifying the two best escape routes from each room. Make sure each route is unobstructed. Then review the plan with the whole family.
Knowing how to escape. First, feel the door with the back of your hand. A hot door means a fire is on the other side and you should choose an alternate escape route.
Choosing a safe meeting place. Pick a tree or other landmark that is a safe distance from the house. All members of the family should come to this place once they get out.
It’s important for families to practice the escape plan at least two times a year. Practicing will make the response to a fire become second nature.

The most common mainstream treatment for low back pain is prescription painkillers.
But not only are these drugs causing the nation’s deadly opioid epidemic…there’s no good evidence they actually work.1 2
That leaves millions of Americans looking for safer, more effective alternatives. A first-of-its-kind study shows that one of the world’s oldest forms of healing, massage therapy, can provide natural relief.
Previous studies of massage to treat back pain were conducted in controlled research situations. The new study is different. It tested massage in real-life settings.
Patients were referred by a physician to a massage therapist. The therapist administered 10 massages to each subject.
A total of 104 patients were enrolled in the study. Researchers from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and the University of Kentucky followed the subjects for 24 weeks.3
More than half the participants experienced clinically meaningful improvements in their low back pain, according to Professor Niki Munk.
She is one of the authors of the study and an assistant professor with the Indiana University School of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences.
Baby boomers and older patients were the most likely to get pain relief. But younger patients benefited, too. The study was published in the journal Pain Medicine.4
The study’s findings are important, given the large number of people who suffer low back pain in the U.S., said Professor Munk.
About 15% of Americans have chronic back pain. Low back pain is the nation’s number one cause of disability.
Study: Massage Eases Back Pain
Doctors often prescribe opioid painkillers such as OxyContin or Percocet. But they are among the world’s most dangerous drugs. They carry a high risk of addiction, overdose, and other serious side effects.
“The study can give primary care providers the confidence to tell patients with chronic low back pain to try massage,” Professor Munk said.5
Choosing the right licensed massage therapist is crucial, she said. It’s best to find someone with experience healing low back pain. And you want to make sure they are a licensed massage therapist (LMT).
The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) is the largest non-profit professional association. Its website can help you can find licensed massage therapists in your area.
Editor’s Note: There are other drug-free ways to reduce pain.
Discover the ocean oil that one study found cut inflammation in half after one month… The desert herb that may replace pain prescriptions for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis… And the “magic” formula—with just three ingredients—that helped almost 70% of patients become pain-free in three months.

Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
Tissue, pathway, proteinase, peptidase, protease ,acrosin, lipoprotein, activator, caspase, trypsin, papain, esterase inhibitors are proteins or receptor ligands or receptor antagonists that bind to an enzyme receptor and decreases its activity. Since blocking an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance, many drugs are enzyme inhibitors. Not all receptor antagonist that bind to enzymes are inhibitors; enzyme activator ligands or agonists bind to enzymes and increase their enzymatic activity, while enzyme substrates bind and are converted to products in the normal catalytic cycle of the enzyme.6
Mouse Metalloproteinase inhibitor 2(TIMP-2), belongs to a family of proteins that regulate the activation and proteolytic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). There are four mammalian members of the family; TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3, and TIMP-4. The TIMP-2 is detected in testis, retina, hippocampus and cerebral cortex. The function of TIMP 2 protein is to inhibit MMPs non covalently by the formation of binary complexes. Complexes with metalloproteinases (such as collagenases) and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor.And the interaction with MMP-14 facilitates the activation of pro-MMP-2.It has been shown that the binding of TIMP 2 to a3b1 integrin results in the inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
