Young Canaries to face Port Vale or Sutton Coldfield in FA Youth Cup
PUBLISHED: 15:36 09 November 2018 | UPDATED: 15:36 09 November 2018
ARCHANT EASTERN DAILY PRESS (01603) 772434
An away tie against Port Vale or non-league side Sutton Coldfield Town awaits in the third round of the FA Youth Cup for Norwich City Under-18s.
The Canaries have seen their youth team reach the quarter-finals in three of the last six seasons, including their famous 2013 victory, when Chelsea were beaten over two legs in the final.
The youngsters of League Two side Vale are due to host Sutton Coldfield in the second round next Tuesday, with the third round tie due to be played by Saturday, December 15.
The Valiants are based in Stoke-on-Trent and their Vale Park stadium has a capacity of over 19,000. Birmingham side Sutton play in the Northern Premier League, at step three of non-league, and their Coles Lane ground has a capacity of around 2,000.
Last season Norwich were left disappointed to lose 3-1 to Birmingham City in a Carrow Road quarter-final on a snowbound February night, to miss out on a semi-final clash with Chelsea.

One of the very first cardio exercises to reduce belly fat is walking. Surprised? Do you think it’s too simple to be effective? Well, then you should know that walking is a great and effective way to burn away that ugly belly fat. In fact, it is an excellent fat burner for your entire body. If you follow a healthy diet along with walking at a steady pace for 30-45 minutes for at least four to five days every week, you will witness a gradual decrease in your weight.
Boredom is dangerous and so easily leads to weight gain. While free time gets perceived as relaxing, it actually makes me feel anxious, which can lead to bad eating habits. My busiest days are the ones when I tend to focus less on my food and more on what I need to get done. That's why I always try to fill my schedule with things that make me feel productive—so I don’t find myself rummaging through the pantry for a lack of something to do.
Science is quite clear that excess weight carries considerable health risks, including a higher risk for heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. Yet where that weight accumulates may pose the greatest threat. A large waist size suggests excess visceral (belly) fat, which is stored in the abdominal cavity and surrounds vital organs like the pancreas, liver, and intestines. It poses an increased heart attack risk because of its association with high blood pressure, elevated blood sugars and abnormal lipid levels. (Locked) More »
We’ve now arrived at tip number 16. If you’re still having trouble losing weight, despite following the 15 pieces of advice listed above, it might be a good idea to bring out the heavy artillery: optimal ketosis. Many people stalling at weight plateaus while on a low-carb diet have found optimal ketosis helpful. It’s what can melt the fat off once again.
H. Guldbrand, B. Dizdar, B. Bunjaku, T. Lindström, M. Bachrach-Lindström, M. Fredrikson, C. J. Östgren, F. H. Nystrom, “In Type 2 Diabetes, Randomisation to Advice to Follow a Low-carbohydrate Diet Transiently Improves Glycaemic Control Compared with Advice to Follow a Low-fat Diet Producing a Similar Weight Loss,” Diabetologia (2012) 55: 2118. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-012-2567-4.
Cabbage is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C but extremely low in calories (just 22 per cup), so you can fill your plate with the leafy green guilt-free. And while you're probably familiar with the infamous Cabbage Soup Diet, there are plenty of alternate ways to eat this veggie that won't leave you feeling hungry. It's delicious in a variety of slaws or salads, and makes a crunchy garnish atop tacos or burgers.
A little garlic in your meals could mean a lot less weight around your middle. The results of a Korean study found that mice given a high-fat diet supplemented with garlic lost significantly more weight and abdominal fat than those who just ate fatty foods. Even better, they also improved their liver health, making it easier to stay healthy and burn off that excess fat in the long term. For more flavorful ways to make your food more enjoyable, turn to the 20 Spicy Recipes That Fire Up Your Metabolism and watch those pounds melt away.
Basically, the effect of exercise on our weight is vastly overrated. That’s why it’s only number 15 on this list. There are other things you need to take care of first. It’s not a good idea to eat bad food, drink sugar water (so-called “sports drinks”) or be on medications which force you to exercise for hours daily just to compensate. Metaphorically that’s like digging a hole, into which you put your ladder, on which you stand and paint the basement-level windows of your house.
Low-calorie diets usually produce an energy deficit of 500–1,000 calories per day, which can result in a 0.5 to 1 kilogram (1.1 to 2.2 pounds) weight loss per week. One of the most commonly used low-calorie diets is Weight Watchers. The National Institutes of Health reviewed 34 randomized controlled trials to determine the effectiveness of low-calorie diets. They found that these diets lowered total body mass by 8% in the short term, over 3–12 months. Women doing low-calorie diets should have at least 1,000 calories per day and men should have approximately 1,200 calories per day. These caloric intake values vary depending on additional factors, such as age and weight.
As long as this popular crunchy treat isn't doused in movie-theater butter, it makes an excellent weight-loss snack. Not only is popcorn high in fiber, it even delivers some protein. A 1-ounce serving of air-popped corn (about 3½ cups) has 4 grams of fiber, almost 4 grams of protein and clocks in at 110 calories. This combination makes it a snack with staying power. Popcorn is filled with air, so you get a pretty large portion without a lot of calories. You can eat 3 whole cups of popcorn for only 100 calories.
The nutritional highlight of the diet is protein. Where calories, vitamins and minerals may be missing- protein is a priority. Protein is included heavily in all three meals every day. When following a low-calorie diet, protein can really help your body preserve your muscle and metabolism, boosting your weight loss success. This is a positive aspect of the diet.
For even more impressive effects on body composition: aim for exercise forms which elicit a positive hormonal response. This means lifting really heavy things (strength training), or interval training. Such exercise increases levels of the sex hormone testosterone (primarily in men) as well as growth hormone. Not only do greater levels of these hormones increase your muscle mass, but they also decrease your visceral fat (belly fat) in the long term.
3. Twist: One foot placed slightly in front of the other with body facing the corner. This should resemble the movement of wringing a towel while taking knees further “inward” and opening body in the opposite direction. Start with knees bent and straighten with the twist by lifting the hip and leading it to the opposite corner.10 reps each side, then 10 again (total of 20, alternating after 10)
Remember that it takes a 3500-calorie deficit to lose one pound of fat. That is, you have to either burn off 3500 calories through exercise or eat 3500 calories less than you burn in a week. Break this up into daily limits. To burn 3500 calories a week, you should aim to have a 500 calorie deficit every day. For example, you can exercise to burn 250 calories and cut 250 calories from your diet.
Weight loss can be a major challenge today because of the abundance of food available and a more sedentary lifestyle. But there are strategies people can use to reach and maintain a healthy weight, including choosing eating patterns that are sustainable over the long term, adding in regular exercise, and focusing on restarting their efforts if they go off track.

The longer answer, according to MilitaryDiet.co, is that it “comprises carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats, all of which are needed for optimal body function.” At least in theory. But the short answer is that you're seriously limiting your calorie consumption. As mentioned, moderately active adult women need about 1,800-2,000 calories a day, so by following the military diet plan, you're effectively cutting your calories by nearly half. And though you're indulging with some ice cream, most of the foods on the menu are ultimately pretty lean as well.
By planning your meals and logging what you eat and drink, you will start memorizing how many calories are in your favorite meals and ingredients. Best of all you will learn your own eating habits and cravings, so over time you can better plan your meals to suit your cravings. After a couple weeks if you see you consistently have a 3:00 pm craving for carbs, you can head off that craving in advance with a skinny sandwich at lunch. Or, a sweet craving at 10:00 am can be managed with a sweet oatmeal breakfast.
Sure, you can lose weight quickly. There are plenty of fad diets that work to shed pounds rapidly -- while leaving you feeling hungry and deprived. But what good is losing weight only to regain it? To keep pounds off permanently, it's best to lose weight slowly. And many experts say you can do that without going on a "diet." Instead, the key is making simple tweaks to your lifestyle.
Vegetarian modifications to the military diet can mean that you’ll consume fewer calories, or even more, depending on what you choose. Use a trusty calorie calculator to make sure you’re on target. For example, for dinner on day 1, you’re allowed 3 oz of meat or a protein substitute. If you were to eat chicken, that would be about 200 calories. If you substitute that with 3 oz of tofu, you’re consuming only about 65 calories, but if you choose black beans, you’ll get 111 calories and if you eat 3 oz of almonds, you’d hit 489 calories. It’s a bit of a difference, but also note that you could eat double the beans or tofu and get the same number of calories as you would with the chicken. Or, you could have the recommended amount of beans and still slip in a handful of almonds. Obviously, 3 oz of almonds would be too many almonds even if they weren’t so calorie heavy. So, do your calorie research well on military diet vegetarian modifications to ensure you’ll still get the same great results.
When in the hospital, glucose levels are checked several times daily and the patient is monitored for signs of symptomatic ketosis (which can be treated with a small quantity of orange juice). Lack of energy and lethargy are common but disappear within two weeks. The parents attend classes over the first three full days, which cover nutrition, managing the diet, preparing meals, avoiding sugar and handling illness. The level of parental education and commitment required is higher than with medication.
If losing up to 10 pounds isn't enough, people have followed the diet cycle for a full month. They repeat the cycle of 3 days on followed by 4 days off for a month. The Military Diet results on this plan are obviously much greater if you do multiple cycles- and you could conceivably lose 20-30 pounds if you do repeat the diet several times over. If choosing to go this route, make sure during the 4 days off the diet, you are eating a diet full of nutrients and vitamins that you may not be getting enough of during the 3 days on the strict regime. Another alternative is to give your body a bit more of a rest between cycles- and subsequently perform the 3 Day Military Diet once a month. This will also boost your military diet results, but more slowly and over a longer period of time.
She's not confident about long-term results, either. "I’d wager that most people won’t keep the weight off, because the Military Diet doesn’t offer enough guidance on how to expand beyond its prescribed foods. Plus, the diet doesn’t offer guidance on how to deal with all the other facets of weight loss, such as emotional eating, dealing with temptations, restaurant eating, relapse, etc... There are better weight loss plans out there that are more nutritionally balanced, and address the multi-faceted nature of weight loss which includes exercise, emotions, support, etc." If you're looking for one, Jibrin recommends the DASH diet, a Mediterranean-style diet, or Weight Watchers. "Ideally, join a program that helps you with the other facets of weight loss, such as exercise, emotional eating, and support."
A fat-burning superfood, grapefruit contains a compound that can lower the fat-storage hormone insulin, which in turn can lead to weight loss. In fact, eating half a grapefruit before each meal could help you lose up to a pound a week—even if you don't change anything else about your diet. Because grapefruits are 90% water, which fills you up, they also act as a natural appetite suppressant.
Before starting, ask yourself what is really realistic for you, Mattinson suggests. Then get your doctor’s okay. You may also work with a local registered dietitian nutritionist to limit potential nutrient deficiencies and talk about vitamin supplementation, as you won’t be eating whole grains, dairy, or fruit, and will eliminate many veggies. “A diet that eliminates entire food groups is a red flag to me. This isn’t something to take lightly or dive into headfirst with no medical supervision,” she says.
If giving up pasta is the hardest part of making changes to help lose weight, zucchini noodles are a healthier alternative, Michalczyk says. "I like to think of them as pasta's lower-carb and higher-in-nutrition cousin because zucchini is a good source of vitamins A and C, fiber and potassium for only about 33 calories per zucchini,” says Michalczyk. You can use in zoodles, much on as is with some dip, roast them, or add to salads.
Finally, lunch on day 3 is very light, consisting of only toast and an egg. You still get a small amount of protein from the egg as well as a smattering of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, D, B-6 and B-12, and iron, all from the egg. You’ve now received an overview of the functions of all of these vitamins except for Vitamin D- which helps the body absorb calcium (1).
Seattle-based registered dietitian nutritionist and Arivale Coach Ginger Hultin, MS, CSO, and Vermont-based registered dietitian nutritionist Maddie Kinzly MS, LD, told POPSUGAR that while you can't choose where on your body you gain (sorry boobs!) or lose fat, some people are more predisposed to holding weight in their belliesw. "Much of this is driven by genetics, so you can look to your parents and other relatives to better understand the body shape that you naturally have and where you may deposit fat stores," Hultin explained.
Religious prescription may be a factor in motivating people to adopt a specific restrictive diet. For example, the Biblical Book of Daniel (1:2-20, and 10:2-3) refers to a 10- or 21-day avoidance of foods (Daniel Fast) declared unclean by God in the laws of Moses. In modern versions of the Daniel Fast, food choices may be limited to whole grains, fruits, vegetables, pulses, nuts, seeds and oil. The Daniel Fast resembles the vegan diet in that it excludes foods of animal origin. The passages strongly suggest that the Daniel Fast will promote good health and mental performance.
“Pistachios are a great addition to a diet aimed to help one lose weight because they're one of the lowest-fat and lowest-calorie snacks that offer the most nuts per serving (49 pistachios per 1-ounce serving) compared to cashews (18) and walnuts (14 halves),” says Shaw. Get in-shell pistachios because the leftover shells may provide a visual cue for portion control to curb intake.
There are so many tricks, shortcuts, and gimmicks out there on achieving optimal ketosis – I’d suggest you don’t bother with any of that. Optimal ketosis can be accomplished through dietary nutrition alone (aka just eating food). You shouldn’t need a magic pill to do it. Just stay strict, remain vigilant, and be focused on recording what you eat (to make sure your carb and protein intake are correct).
When Johns Hopkins researchers compared the effects on the heart of losing weight through a low-carbohydrate diet versus a low-fat diet for six months—each containing the same amount of calories—those on a low-carb diet lost an average of 10 pounds more than those on a low-fat diet—28.9 pounds versus 18.7 pounds. An extra benefit of the low-carb diet is that it produced a higher quality of weight loss, Stewart says. With weight loss, fat is reduced, but there is also often a loss of lean tissue (muscle), which is not desirable. On both diets, there was a loss of about 2 to 3 pounds of good lean tissue along with the fat, which means that the fat loss percentage was much higher on the low-carb diet.
Good news for java lovers: The caffeine in coffee could speed up your metabolism and help your body burn slightly more calories (about 26 per cup). A study in Physiology & Behavior found that the average metabolic rate of people who drank caffeinated coffee was 16% higher than those who drank only decaf. Just be mindful of how much cream and sugar you add to your cup, which could offset any health benefits the beverage provides.
This diet was amazing for me. I lost over 10 pounds! I followed the diet and did hot yoga. Although there is the occasional review where users of the 3 Day Military Diet claim they haven’t lost any weight at all, the majority lose at least a few pounds. Considering that on average by following a healthy diet and exercising it’s normal to lose about 1 pound a week, the 3 Day Military Diet really speeds up weight loss. People also generally report that restricting themselves for 3 days is much easier than watching their diet over a much longer period of time. Overall, the consensus of those who’ve tried the diet is very positive.
With intermittent fasting, you narrow the size of your eating window, or you occasionally do fasts of 24 hours. For instance, you can start eating at noon and finish up by 8pm, essentially skipping breakfast. I wrote all about it in our “Beginner’s Guide to Intermittent Fasting,” where I outlined the benefits of teaching your body to consume food more efficiently, and also reduces the total number of calories you are probably eating.

Still can't button your jeans with ease, or don't want to admit that you're keeping those maternity tops around longer than you'd like? If you're still dealing with stubborn belly fat, there may be more to it than simply hitting a plateau in the gym or losing your mojo. It turns out that what goes on inside your body—mainly your gut—plays a much bigger role than we thought. In fact, it helps determine whether food gets burned off or if it, well, stays put. Time to figure out exactly what problems may be happening on the inside, so you can love how you look on the outside.
And like all crash-diets known to man, Alpert says the military diet is meant to make only a short-term impact instead of teaching positive eating habits that can be sustained for a long, healthy life. As a result, she says it's very likely participants will gain back any weight lost shortly after concluding the diet. (Really. You should stop restrictive dieting.)
Total calories are low on all three days of the plan, but extremely low and not capable of meeting energy needs for an adult on at least two of these days. In addition, numerous other nutrients were below the USDA’s recommendations. When you look at daily average intake provided, these include getting only 10g fiber, 10% DV for Vitamin D, 37% DV for calcium, 42% DV for iron, and 40% DV for potassium.
The 3 Day Military Diet will deliver some impressive weight loss results if you stick with it as outlined during the 3 days on. Many users report military diet results between 3 and 10 pounds lost per cycle. For the best results, you will also need to make sure you don't go over the 1500 calorie limit during the other 4 days off. During those off-days, keep away from alcohol, sugary drinks, and other foods that would otherwise limit weight loss.
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans those who achieve and manage a healthy weight do so most successfully by being careful to consume just enough calories to meet their needs, and being physically active. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), healthy individuals seeking to maintain their weight should consume 2,000 calories (8.4 MJ) per day.

Fans of the Toyota Supra have long been waiting for a successor and…it’s finally happening. The new 2018-2019 Supra will be a created by the hands of both BMW and Toyota, and will be based around the Z5.
(Related – Toyota Unveils Two New FT-1 Concepts)
Up until now, things have been relatively quiet regarding the car, but a camo’d car at the BMW M Test Center at Nurburgring has broken the silence. YouTuber SupraMKV.com captured this test car and says that it’s the upcoming Supra model. From the looks of it, that assumption is correct.
What do you guys think about the revival of the Supra? Is it too late or is it never too late for a new Supra. I personally think it’s never too late, because…come on…it’s the Supra.

Actually most of my board games I lost when my mom sold here house. They were boxed up in her attic and I didn't get a chance to rescue them I in time. I lost several dozen board games including Exit.
I did write a Battleship and a Stratego game about 30 years ago on my TRS-80 Model 4. I always wanted to, back then, was to buy a second Model 4, put them back to back and connect them with a null modem. I want to rewrite them in QB64 making a network or internet game of them. I'll need to find some tutorials or examples and play around with them.
I'm thinking of making Cube Checkers next. I have the actual board game and never written it before. I t[/url]hink you'll like it and it's a fun game to play.
Thank you Anthony for your comments and suggestions. I enjoy writing my games and sharing them with others.

MERCED — Merced county officials are one step closer to determining which agency -- or individual -- will be tasked with drafting the new request for proposal for the county's emergency ambulance service contract. "At this point, we don't have a short list," said Mark Cowart, Merced County administrative services director. "But we are looking at the list of those consultants that responded last time."
Another option is to find a consultant who has recently provided these services in another county, Cowart said.
Although officials haven't decided if they'll put out a request for proposal to find the consultant, they may forego that process to save time.
"We're sensitive to that, and we want to get it done in as reasonable a period of time as we can," Cowart said. "We haven't made that decision, but it could save us a couple of months of work."
Kathleen Grassi, Merced County public health director, has been contacting other counties this week to find out what agencies they've used.
Through that process, as well as looking at the list of consultants who responded to the last bid, a few names have been identified -- Fitch and Associates, Diane Akers and The Abaris Group.
The Abaris Group, a consulting firm based in Martinez, was selected to draft the last request for proposal.
That process was criticized by longtime provider Riggs Ambulance Service, whose officials called it "flawed" and requested it be thrown out.
The Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed during a January meeting, and voted to restart the entire process -- rejecting a staff recommendation to award the contract to American Medical Response.
Before selecting a consulting firm, Grassi and Cowart said each agency will be carefully screened for potential conflicts of interest.
As with any purchasing contract, Cowart said, the agencies must provide full disclosure of any past dealings with Riggs, AMR or any other bidder.
A final decision should be made in the next few weeks, following a meeting with the purchasing department and county counsel, Grassi said.
County officials say they are working on finalizing Riggs' contract extension this week, which expires at the end of April.
The plan is to have the contract extension appear on the agenda during the next Board of Supervisor's meeting on April 9, Grassi said.
The contract would extend Riggs' service until the new bidding process can be completed, which could take up to a year.

Ski mountaineering, snowshoeing and enjoying the snowy winter
Posted by Patrick - 18:53 on 22 February 2010
Well it has been some winter so far.Yesterday I had a lovely ski tour up on the Cromdales, cold, windless and sunny. No lift queues just deer, mountain hares, reindeer, grouse and rabbits as my co-mountain users. The conditions are ideal currently for ski touring, last week-end I had a great day down in Glenfeshie with some friends.
The other thing I have been doing this year is snow shoeing for those of you who aren't into sliding around on planks. With the snow we've had so far this year they are a great advantage over walking, you don't sink in as deep and therefore you don't use up as much energy. Earlier in the year I was assisting on a winter skills course 5 participants were using snowshoes and 5 weren't (we only had 5 pairs available to us) and it was interesting to note two things: first, we sent those with snowshoes out first in about 40 cm of powder and they would sink in say 15-20 cm, even with being well compacted the five following would still sink up to another 10 cm approx; secondly a gap would appear over a 10 minute period or so between the snowshoers and the walkers of say about 30M, so you can imagine the impact of that over a whole day.
As you know there has been a shed load of snow, the main fall being just before Christmas, then more after New Year and some more just last week (15th/16th feb). So the Highlands and the mountains are looking stunning.
Obviously this amount of snow brings with it its hazards: avalanches and other snow obstacles such as cornices which people can fall through or they can collapse onto people below. Unfortunately 4 people have died this winter and I feel for them, their families and friends. However they died doing what they enjoyed and presumably were aware of the risks. But I wonder whether we, mountaineers, are a bit too accepting of these accidents with an attitude of "accidents will always happen in the mountains." Yes, one has to be realistic about the fact that if one goes into the mountains, in winter in particular, that it is a hazardous place to be. Where and when avalanches will occur is very difficult to predict. The Scottish Avalanche Information Service (www.sais.gov.uk) does a fantastic job providing forecasts in 5 areas of Scotland, but that is what they are FORECASTS and they are based on the weather forecast. If the weather changes then the avalanche risk changes accordingly. One also has to be realistic about how much information they can obtain on any given day to provide information for the following day, obviously as the winter progresses they use their knowledge of what has occurred in the snowpack to help them formulate a forecast.For the mountaineer it is very useful information but one also needs to read what is going on on the day and underfoot. Getting back to the point, I think we need to do more as an industry to investigate the root causes of these incidents (and we should look at near misses too) so that we can feed that information back to mountain users.
On a happier note it has been another cracking day here and it looks as if the good weather is going to continue with cold temperatures. The past couple of mornings it has been down to about -13deg C.
Enjoy it whilst it's good. Patrick

Foremost human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the new electoral act amendment bill into law.
He said the bill should be “urgently” signed now to avoid late alteration to arrangements for the 2019 elections, in accordance with the ECOWAS protocol on democracy and good governance act.
Falana said the new bill should be promptly signed into law in view of the fact that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that the 2019 elections will commence in February 2019.
He said, “In making this call the attention of the president ought to be drawn to article 2 (1) of the Economic Community of West African States Protocol A/SP1/12/01 on Democracy and Good Governance which provides that: ‘No substantial modification shall be made to the electoral laws in the last six (6) months before the elections, except with the consent of majority of political actors’.”

He cited an example with the case of Congress of Democracy and Progress v Republic of Burkina Faso where the Ecowas Court ruled that “all the member states of the ECOWAS are bound by the provisions of the protocol on democracy and good governance”.
“Since the modification made to the 2010 Electoral Act is substantial, the bill cannot be passed in less than six months to the 2019 general election,” Falana added.
“Since Nigeria is legally obliged to comply with the said Protocol, President Buhari who is the current chairman of the ECOWAS should ensure that the Electoral Bill 2018 is assented to without any further delay.”

Aims: Vibration perception thresholds (VPTs) are used frequently to assess somatosensory pathways in clinical trials. Different equipment, testing paradigms, and stimulation sites produce varying results which make comparisons between trials and patient populations challenging. Information comparing the VPT obtained with the Neurothesiometer with that with the Vibratron is available, but not for a similar comparison with the CASE IV (computer-assisted sensory examination device).
Methods: Subjects (n = 478) including reference, non-neuropathic subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM), and diabetic patients with mild, moderate and severe diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSP) had VPTs measured with the CASE IV and Neurothesiometer, as well as standard sural nerve conduction studies (NCS), all performed during the same half-day. The dorsum of the foot was used as the site of stimulation for the CASE IV VPT determination and the distal phalanx of the first toe for the Neurothesiometer.
Results: VPTs by the CASE IV and the Neurothesiometer compared moderately by linear regression analyses (R2 = 0.547, P < 0.0001), and by 95% confidence intervals. Sensitivity for the diagnosis of mild DSP was 70% with the Neurothesiometer and 49% with the CASE IV. VPTs determined by either the Neurothesiometer or the CASE IV correlated with similar agreement to the sural nerve action potential amplitude as determined by nerve conduction studies (NCS) (R2 = 0.456 and 0.461, respectively, P < 0.0001).
Conclusions: The results demonstrated a significant correlation of VPT values in different stages of DSP obtained by the two methods. The Neurothesiometer was more sensitive for the diagnosis of DSP, particularly in those with mild neuropathy. Similar correlations between VPTs and electrophysiological parameters were observed, indicating that both methods are valid, and thus the Neurothesiometer may be preferable due to the ease and rapidity of testing by this method.

“Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is Yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; You are exalted as head over all” 1 Chronicles 29:11.
Verses like this one leave me speechless. What is there to say? Everything belongs to God. He rules over it all. For a moment, I want you to think about some things that you consider great, powerful, glorious, majestic and full of splendor. Picture them in your mind. Everything you just imagined is from, for and to God.
The snow-covered peaks of the highest mountains and the deepest floors of the oceans belong to Him. Every star in the sky, blade of grass and grain of sand are His. Every bird that takes flight, seed that sprouts, flower that blooms, and cricket that chirps do so because of Him. Every heart that beats on this planet does so because He ordains it. He is the Creator, Giver, Sustainer and Taker of all life.
He knows what we do not. He gives what we would not. He controls what we cannot. He is powerful; and He is kind. He is exalted; and He is near. He is victorious; and He is for us. He is judge; and He pardons. He is just; and He is patient. He is sovereign; and He is good. He is master; and He is friend. He is King; and He is shepherd. He is righteous; and He is Savior.
From now and throughout eternity, we will never run out of reasons to worship our God. He deserves the praise of every nation, tribe and tongue. He alone is worthy. How could we ever question the goodness of so great a God?
Let the following lyrics from the song “Forever Reign” (Kristian Stanfill) be your prayer to God. May we run to our God who forever reigns over all.
You are more. You are more
Than my words could ever say.
You are LORD. You are LORD
All creation will proclaim.
You are here. You are here.
In Your presence I may hope.
You are God. You are God.
Of all else, I’m letting go.
I’m running to Your arms. I’m running to Your arms.
The riches of Your love will always be enough.
Nothing compares to Your embrace.
Light of the world—forever reign.

Ahh, saturated colours, a big fireball and water – love it.
Had the opportunity to shoot a flock or two of pelicans as the local fisherman threw them the heads of the fish they’d caught.
Most of the images were shot at 1/1000th of a second, shutter priority, 200ISO. For most I had a polarising filter attached. If you like more details, leave a comment/question.
All were shot with the Leica D-LUX (Type 109) (aka Panasonic LX100).
Yamba, on the far Northern NSW coast, is a very pretty place. I took an hour or so and came back with a few nice images.
I have access to a huge range of incredible photographic tools – Canon Full Frame and Olympus m4/3 systems, video cameras, many lenses, flashguns, filters, tripods… but on holidays this Christmas all I’ve brought along is the Leica D-Lux (Type 109, aka Panasonic LX100).
I use the bigger equipment for work, and I enjoy my work, but this holiday is about the family. It’s about getting out on our 30 year old trailer boat, riding some bicycles, walking along the beach, swimming and surfing and drinking and eating too much.
The sort of things most Australians do at Christmas.
So I brought along the little Leica, a polarising filter and a tripod (which are the first two accessories I recommend to anyone taking up photography – before you buy a second lens, buy a tripod).
Anyway, I’ll publish a few images here and maybe I’ll even talk about how they were captured.
You access the panoramic feature of the Leica D-ux (Type 109) via the drive menu – it’s right up the end of the list. The Panasonic Lumix LX100 works the same way.
The camera fires off numerous frames and stitches them together for you. I haven’t really had a lot of time to analyse the results, but a quick look shows they look pretty good.
I was going to post a full-res version, but it’s over 7000 pixels wide. Here’s one which is 2000.
I bought my Leica on a Friday, so on Saturday I made a video – a very short, unremarkable video.
Except it tracks along, as though on a slider, stops when I’ve walked into the frame and wave, then starts sliding again.
I sent it to a couple of filmmaker mates who’d both picked it – all the sliding is done in post. It would have been a nightmare to make such a shot in 1080, because I wouldn’t have been able to slide the camera. It was achieved because I could crop the 4K.
For the past three months I’ve been making Cycle Torque TV, a low-budget motorcycle TV show. Catch it at here.
The show has been successful enough that I think we will be starting production on series two soon, and the little Leica will have a staring role as the go-to camera for pieces to camera with a wide, mid-shot and close up in the same take with the same camera.
It can go on top of a lightweight tripod and stay stable. And the experiments we did In the studio today show with careful set-up of white balance and exposure, I think few viewers will ever be able to tell it apart from the 5D shots it will be combined with.
All that for less than the cost of a good slider.

The 59th Annual Delta Exhibition at the Arkansas Arts Center, to open June 9, will feature 73 works by 57 artists from seven states, the Arts Center announced today. Read the list of accepted artists in the news release here. Of the 57 artists, 42 are from Arkansas. (Others may have Arkansas ties.)
As was the case last year, the juror was presented with more than a thousand entries from which to select. This year’s juror Betsy Bradley, director of the Mississippi Museum of Art, chose significantly more works than last year’s juror, art dealer Elizabeth Garvey, who chose only 52 works by 30 artists.
Besides the image above, of Fayetteville artist Kellie Lehr’s 6-by-4-foot oil, you can see images of some of the Delta selections at my previous Delta post, which took advantage of the connectivity of Facebook. Winners of the show awards, including the $2,500 Grand Award, two $750 Delta Awards and a $250 Contemporaries Delta Award will be announced at the member preview June 8. Bradley will give a lecture at 6 p.m. that evening.

PLO official Saeb Erekat said Tuesday that Palestinian leaders are examining ways to secure a resolution from the UN Security Council condemning Israeli settlement building, after Israel gave legal sanction to three settler outposts.
In an interview with official PA radio Voice of Palestine, Erekat called on the Israeli government to choose between peace and settlement expansion, warning that sanctioning more settlements on Palestinian land will kill the two-state solution.
In February 2011, the PA sought a UN resolution declaring Israeli settlement building illegal. Fourteen members of the 15-member Security Council voted in favor of the resolution, but it was vetoed by the US.
The text of the resolution was based on Washington’s own statements on the illegality of Israeli settlements. After vetoing the resolution, the US maintained that it considered Israeli settlements to be illegal and a threat to prospects for peace.
Israel Confers Legal Status
Israel said on Tuesday it had granted legal status to three settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank, a move that could shore up the governing coalition but which drew sharp Palestinian condemnation.
Israeli officials played down the decision taken by a ministerial committee late on Monday and rejected accusations that the government had effectively created the first new Jewish settlements for more than 20 years.
The three outposts — Bruchin, Sansana and Rechelim — were built on land Israel declared "state-owned" in the West Bank, an area it captured in the 1967 war and which Palestinians want as part of a future state.
"The panel decided to formalize the status of the three communities … which were established in the 1990s following the decisions of past governments," said a statement issued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
Spokesman for President Mahmoud Abbas Nabil Abu Rdainah condemned the decision, saying "(Israeli Prime Minister) Netanyahu has pushed things to a dead end yet again."
Palestinian leaders are awaiting a formal response from Netanyahu to a letter they sent last week in which Abbas repeated his call for an end to all settlement activity. Peace talks have been frozen since 2010 over the issue.
All Jewish settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law. However, Israel distinguishes between settlements it has approved and the outposts which were never granted official authorization.
Some 350 settlers live in Bruchin and 240 in Rechelim, both in the northern part of the West Bank, while Sansana, with a population of 240, lies further to the south.
None has been granted final Israeli legal status as formal communities and Netanyahu, though politically strong, has faced questions from within his own Likud party and other right-wing coalition partners about his commitment to settlers.
Israeli officials blamed unspecified technical issues for delaying the status change.
‘First govt-established Settlements in 20 Years’
For years, Israel has promised its main ally, the United States, to remove dozens of outposts, but has done little to fulfill the pledge in the face of domestic political friction.
Netanyahu, however, drew fire from settlement leaders and Likud members after police evicted Jewish settlers three weeks ago from a building they said they had bought from a Palestinian in the West Bank city of Hebron.
Peace Now, an Israeli anti-settlement group, said the change of the three outposts’ status marked the first time since 1990 that the Israeli government had established a new settlement, adding that the four-man committee did not have the authority.
"The Netanyahu government is trying to deceive the public and hide its true policy." it said in a statement. "This announcement is against the Israeli interest of achieving peace and a two-state solution."
In tandem with the decision on the three outposts, Netanyahu moved to patch up differences within his coalition over the future of a neighborhood outpost of Beit El settlement that is threatened with demolition.
The dispute over who owns land on which five dwellings in the Ulpana neighborhood have been built, has exposed a fault line in the cabinet between members of Netanyahu’s Likud party and his more centrist defense minister, Ehud Barak.
Israel has promised the Supreme Court, which is looking into Palestinian claims of ownership to the land, to evict the settlers in the disputed homes by May 1.
Barak, drawing criticism from several Likud ministers and legislators, has said the government would stand by that pledge.
But in an interview with Army Radio on Tuesday, Netanyahu said the government would seek a solution to the problem and ask the Supreme Court to push back the May 1 deadline.


Bike lanes added in 421 project
In a reversal of previous plans, the N.C. Department of
Transportation will mark dedicated bicycle lanes as part of the U-4020 project, the widening of U.S.
421 from Hardin Street to Old East King Street in Boone scheduled for completion this
Dean Ledbetter, NCDOT Division 11 traffic engineer, said four- and five-foot-wide bike lanes will be marked on both sides of the highway.
A small section — in front of the Citgo Pennywise gas station on the corner of U.S. 421 and N.C. 105 — will not be wide enough for bike lanes, Ledbetter said.
Until this month, the plans for the widening project did not include bike lanes, instead opting for wider outside lanes to be shared by cyclists and motorists.
“I just decided that we really needed to come back and take a look at this particular project,” Ledbetter said. “We came to the conclusion that we missed it the first time.”
Ledbetter said he discussed the issue with town of Boone officials and local bicycle advocates, including representatives from Boone Area Cyclists, after attending a bicycle facility workshop in November.
A draft copy of pavement marking plans for the U-4020 project indicates the plans were revised Feb. 6 to include bike lanes. The revised plans have not received final approval, Ledbetter said.
The marking of bike lanes will take place when the contractor pours the final layer of pavement this spring.
Ledbetter said the addition of bike lanes will require additional pavement markings, signage and possibly adjustments to traffic signal sensors, but these changes will not result in significant costs. The costs to add bike lanes will be funded by NCDOT and not the town of Boone’s portion of the project costs, he said.


Dynamic Stall Measurements and Computations for a VR-12 Airfoil with a Variable Droop Leading Edge
MetadataShow full item record
High density-altitude operations of helicopters with advanced performance and maneuver capabilities have lead to fundamental research on active high-lift system concepts for rotor blades. The requirement for this type of system was to improve the sectional lift-to-drag ratio by alleviating dynamic stall on the retreating blade while simultaneously reducing the transonic drag rise of the advancing blade. Both measured and computational results showed that a Variable Droop Leading Edge (VDLE) airfoil is a viable concept for application to a rotor high-lift system. Results are presented for a series of 2D compressible dynamic stall wind tunnel tests with supporting CFD results for selected test cases. These measurements and computations show a dramatic decrease in the drag and pitching moment associated with severe dynamic stall when the VDLE concept is applied to the Boeing VR-12 airfoil. Test results also show an elimination of the negative pitch damping observed in the baseline moment hysteresis curves.

Marker by Robin Cook (unabridged audiobook read by George Guidall): Healthy patients are dying mysteriously, and medical examiners Laurie Montgomery and Jack Stapleton are on the case. I liked the plot – I wasn’t able to guess the twists ahead of time and I learned a bit about medicine and the medical industry in the process – but some of the language got a little tedious. Perhaps doctors are different, but ordinary people do not regularly use that many four-syllable words per sentence. Cook also has an irritating habit of using “questioned” instead of “asked”, and having a character get impatient at the silence should there be a pause in the narration for a brief bit of description. Taking in someone’s appearance does not cause a noticeable lull in conversation. Most people’s brains work more quickly than that. Overall, however, it’s a pretty good story. I was indeed on the edge of my seat in parts (which is made worse in audiobooks since you can’t read faster to get to the resolution), and the ending was mostly satisfying. Not a deep or especially memorable read, but a nice diversion during my daily commute.

Seizure by Robin Cook (unabridged audiobook read by George Guidall): Dr. Daniel Lowell has discovered a new stem cell procedure to cure many currently terminal diseases. Senator Ashley Butler publicly opposes all such research but secretly offers to become Lowell’s guinea pig to cure his Parkinson’s Disease before his illness is discovered by the public. The rest of the book is a tangle of intrigue involving the mafia, the Catholic Church, the Shroud of Turin, organ harvesting, and US politics. It’s a great set-up, read by a truly talented voice actor, but about halfway through I realized that horrible truth: there’s no way it could end satisfyingly. And it doesn’t. Most of the issues raised are never resolved, and the so-called climax is very, well, anti-climatic. I could deal with it if it was just the social, ethical, and political questions that were left open-ended, but even much of the plot just sort of fizzles out. I’ve enjoyed the other books I’ve read by Robin Cook, but this one felt like it bit off more than it could chew.

I have an exciting blog today. Heather Hamel, author of Murder of Crows, has agreed to be interviewed. She has just released her book on Amazon.
Could you tell me about yourself?
I’m a special education teacher with a passion for history, horses, and the written word, and I live in North Florida. Before teaching, I was a Ghost Tour Storyteller in old St. Augustine.
Why have you chosen to write middle grade stories?
I spent so much time reviewing books to use in my classroom and was frustrated by what little materials were out in the world for older students who read on a much younger grade level. I decided to give it a shot myself, for my students as well as other teachers and students experiencing the same issues. I write Middle Grade stories with older themes, but not necessarily difficult to understand language. Yes, I believe my students need to stay challenged, but not overwhelmed!
Tell me about your middle grade book, Murder of Crows (MOC).
MOC is a ghostly, murder mystery. My protagonist, Liam, has to move with his family to a super small town in Georgia, and is not happy about it. The house is haunted by Sarah, a 14-year-old girl whose family was murdered in the house immediately following the Civil War and she was accused of killing them. She begs Liam to help solve the murder and clear her name. Liam starts researching the area of Andersonville, GA where the murder took place. His two suspects turn out to be a Union soldier and Sarah.
I’m not going to tell you who did it either – you’ll have to read the book to find out. :)
How did you come up with the title?
While I was driving into to work one morning, it was bothering me I was still working on a story without a title. Stopped at a light, I noticed there were several crows on the wire and the phrase Murder of Crows popped in my head.
Also, while researching the Andersonville Prison Camp, my boyfriend noticed we were being followed by a ‘murder’ of crows around the encampment. The cover of the book is a picture taken that day.
Where is MOC available?
It’s available through Amazon.com as both paperback and Kindle or you can go through my website (www.HeatherHamel.com) for direct links to the Amazon versions.
What is the age group?
I write for a middle grade audience. With guidance and support, my stories can be enjoyed by children as early as 4th grade. I want my books to be fun, easy reads that challenge kids with the topics and ideas – not the language and actual reading level.
Are you working on any other projects?
That’s the funny thing about writing. As soon as you start, your mind is flooded with more ideas. I have another book almost ready to be published – Kobi: Memoirs of a Mustang. It’s the experiences of a wild mustang (Kobi) and his journey from the wilds of Nevada to the show rings of Florida. The story is straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak, since he tells the story from his point of view.
I’m also working on a four book crypto-zoological series with fairies, mermaids, and Bigfoot, which I’m hoping to release the first two books next fall.
With teaching, how do you have time to write?
I’m a morning person, so I wake up every day at 5 AM which gives me time to answer e-mails and visit social media before dedicating 30-45 minutes to actual writing before work, while my mind is still fresh. Weekends, holiday, and summer vacations have turned into my writing best friend. Without chunks of time to dedicate to writing, it would take much longer to have a book ready to go.
Thank you so much, Heather! I’ve read your book and loved it. Such a great book for children and adults alike. Good luck with Murder of Crows and your other projects.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Talk to you next week.
