Neurons are the nerve cells; they contain a cell body, an axon, and dendrites. The cell body is the part that contains the nucleus and cytoplasm. The axon is a piece that extends from the cell body; its job is to send impulses away from the cell body. Most are covered with myelin sheath. This sheath helps protect the axon and speeds the impulse. The dendrites branch off from the cell body also, their job is to send impulses to the cell body.
Neuralgia is a connective tissue that supports the neurons. Their job is to protect the nervous system. Astrocytes look like star-shaped cells; they are the biggest of the neuroglial cells in the central nervous system. Astrocytes surround the brain’s blood capillaries to form blood-brain barriers which protect the brain from harmful substances. Microglia are smaller cells that eat cellular debris, waste, and pathogens in nerve tissue. Oligodendrocytes are in the interstitial nervous system, smaller than astrocytes. They wrap around axons to form myelin sheaths. As stated above, the sheaths protect the axons and speed the nerve impulses.
Describe the structures and functions of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Be sure to include the nerves associated with the PNS, and contrast the functions of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.
The peripheral nervous system consists of nerves, which transmit impulses from the brain to other parts of the body; and ganglion, which are masses of nerve cell bodies that connect structures. There are two main groups of nerves: the afferent nerves and the efferent nerves. The afferent nerves send information from the body to the brain. The efferent nerves send information from the brain to the muscles. The system is then broken into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. The somatic nervous system regulates the voluntary controlled parts of the skeletal muscles, while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary controlled parts like smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, the glands, and secretions. The autonomic nervous system is also broken into two parts: the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. The sympathetic division responds when the body is in danger, increases heart rate, blood pressure, etc. The parasympathetic division is when the body is relaxed and resting. It is responsible for things like constriction of pupil, slowing of heart, and digestive systems.
Name the two primary components of the central nervous system (CNS). Describe the protective membranes associated with the CNS. Differentiate between afferent and efferent nerve structure and function.
The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is protected by the skull and the spinal cord is, obviously, protected by the vertebrae. They are also surrounded by meninges and by cerebrospinal fluid. The meninges are three protective layers of tissue. The outermost layer is the dura mater, the middle is the arachnoid membrane, and then the pia mater is the innermost layer. The cerebrospinal fluid flows all around the brain and spinal cord. It provides nutrients to the central nervous system. The spinal cord consists of afferent and efferent nerves. The afferent nerves send information from the body to the brain. The efferent nerves send information from the brain to the muscles.
Name and give a brief description of the structures of the brain. Include the functions of these structures.
The four major divisions of the brain are the cerebrum, the cerebellum, the diencephalon, and the brain stem. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It is the whole top portion of the brain; it controls the memory, sensations, and voluntary movements. The cerebellum is attached to the brain stem and its main function is to coordinate body movements and balance. The diencephalon is in between the cerebrum and the midbrain. It consists of the thalamus, which is in charge of the sensory stimuli; the hypothalamus, which is in charge of sensory functions (i.e.: sleep, appetite, etc.); and the pineal body, which is in charge of regulating the body’s biological clock. The brain stem is between the spinal cord and the diencephalon and consists of the medulla oblongata, the pons, and the upper part of the midbrain. The brain stem is the path for impulses between the brain and the body.
Choose 10 pathological conditions affecting the nervous system; describe each including diagnosis and treatment, if applicable.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressively fatal disease. It destroys brain cells and causes memory loss. Gradually over time the person will no longer be able to write or perform tasks, and then it gets to the point that the person cannot even control bodily functions such as bowel and bladder movements. There is not really a diagnostic test yet that has identified Alzheimer’s. There is no cure for AD, but the use of tacrine hydrochloride is used in mild cases to improve memory.
Bell’s palsy is generally a temporary paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face following trauma. Diagnosis is simply the inability to close eye or drooling because of no control of facial muscle on one side of the face after a trauma has occurred. There is really no treatment needed, however, facial massage, heat, prednisone for swelling, or analgesia for pain all help.
Anencephaly is when there is no brain or spinal cord at birth. The only diagnosis is through an amniocentesis during pregnancy, and there is nothing they can do.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is pressure on the median nerve caused by swelling of the tendons. Doctors diagnose carpal tunnel based on the symptoms of tingling in the fingers or palms of hands, pain in the wrists, or weakness in hands. Treatment uses splints, anti-inflammatory drugs, and sometimes surgery.
Cerebral contusion occurs when the brain hits the inner skull and causes a bruise of the brain, happens most often in car accidents. If doctors suspect a cerebral contusion they can have an MRI or CT scan run. Treatment consists of close observation, if there is a lot of intracranial pressure then surgery may be needed.
Huntington’s chorea is an inherited, degenerative disorder. The characteristics are spontaneous involuntary motor movements, speech problems, and restlessness. Since the disease is inherited, genetic testing could be done to diagnose the disease even before it begins. There is unfortunately no cure for this disease. There are many support groups for families affected by the disease.
Narcolepsy is a sleeping disorder where the person can fall asleep randomly for minutes or even hours at a time. A polysomnogram can be performed to evaluate the person’s sleep patterns. There is no cure, but medications are used to control the symptoms.
Shingles (herpes zoster) is a viral infection that causes a rash on the body; occurs mostly in adults over 50. Flu-like symptoms, GI disturbances, tiredness, and rash are all symptoms that help to diagnose the disease. Treatments are used to help ease pain and get you better faster (analgesics or antiviral medications).
Paraplegia is caused when there is severe injury to the spinal cord, results in paralysis of the lower half of the body. There is no treatment for paraplegia. However I did see online that there are many support groups for anyone who knows or falls victim to paraplegia.
Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. MS destructs the myelin surrounding nerves of the CNS. There are many symptoms that indicate someone could have MS: Unsteady balance, numbness of multiple extremities, facial numbness, and even impotence in males. When a doctor suspects MS an MRI may be performed, complete blood count, and spinal fluid evaluation. As with many of the diseases of the nervous system, there is no cure for MS. There are some medications that have helped prolong remissions, and as always there are support systems to help the family and person’s affected by the disease.

ST. GEORGE — Police said a driver suspected of driving under the influence had his vehicle strike another near the Green Springs Drive exit of northbound Interstate 15, halting traffic for approximately an hour Saturday afternoon.
At about 4 p.m., a grey GMC Terrain, which was reported as speeding by witnesses, lost control and struck the rear and side of a white Mercury Milan. After they collided, both cars then hit the guard rail on the left, police said. The Milan spun to the right while the GMC rolled once and landed on its wheels.
Nobody was transported to the hospital as a result of the crash.
Utah Highway Patrol Sergeant Jake Hicks said that the crash shut down the freeway for almost an hour. Upon investigation, he said the driver of the Terrain was found to be impaired.
“When we investigated, only minor injuries were involved. However, alcohol was involved and we investigated that for the driver of the Terrain,” Hicks said. “We determined the driver, an adult male, was impaired by alcohol and he was arrested for DUI and booked into the jail.”
The biggest thing Hicks brought up as a result of the crash was the traffic caused by the freeway closure and the traffic on surrounding side streets. Many of the cars were getting off the freeway and taking Red Hills Parkway or Telegraph Street through Washington City.
The on-ramp to the northbound 15 was closed as a result and the Washington City Police Department did traffic control on side streets near the accident.
“We had help like always from Washington County Sheriff’s Department and Washington City Police Department who assisted with the ramp closures,” Hicks said.
There were two dogs in the Mercury that spun during the crash and Hicks confirmed that the dogs were not injured as a result.
“The dogs were OK, they were just as happy as dogs can be,” Hicks said.

A loggerhead turtle is rehabbing at Zoo Miami’s new Sea Turtle Hospital after a shark bit off most of her left fin.
The large leatherback apparently got "disoriented" in Cape Cod Bay, but after a change of scenery and some vitamins, he was good to go.
Turtles get cold-stunned when water temperatures fall. One group said it was taking care of more than 2,500 after the ice storm in Texas.
The algal bloom has also killed fish, sea turtles and manatees along the Gulf Coast.
Yaqun Lu, 41, was reportedly also seen by bystanders and police officers "jabbing" at the nest with a wooden stake.
The turtle was found – visibly weak and sick – on a beach in South Africa earlier this month.
The warmer ocean waters of climate change entice the turtles to linger too long too far north.
Authorities are also investigating the deaths of 113 sea turtles; they were found in the southern state of Chiapas earlier this month.
Dozens of manatees and hundreds of sea turtles have died in the longest-running red tide outbreak since 2006.
Abandoned objects can be deadly for the endangered animals.


text: Community. A community of women is what this project was all about. For three months we gathered together on Saturday afternoons and Thursday evenings at The Reach art gallery, in community meeting rooms and in homes. Women from all walks of life, from many different backgrounds, young and old, in groups of friends or with families or just alone. They came to participate in the project, to share a tea and a snack, and while they did they worked and visited and learned from and about each other. We glued at least 60,000 pieces of paper as well as quilted and felted trees, and in the centre, laser cut plastic people gather in the centre to complete this community art installation. Overall it measures 15 by 5 feet and its final home will be in the lobby of Abbotsford Community Services.

The conductor of a world-renowned orchestra announced her intention to retire at the end of the year; the search for a new conductor began in earnest with the outgoing conductor herself taking part in the interviews and selection.
Many observers and commentators considered the orchestra’s assistant conductor to be a shoo-in. She had worked under the supervision of the conductor for the last ten years and had arranged many of the pieces the orchestra had performed over the last seven. Her years attending prestigious universities studying music theory, the resulting degrees, and her years conducting smaller orchestras further made her the obvious choice.
Nevertheless, no replacement was announced for several months. Finally, the public relations firm representing the orchestra released the news that a new conductor had accepted the position, and the chosen individual issued a statement expressing gratitude and excitement. The members of the orchestra attended a dinner event to give the incoming conductor a chance to introduce himself to them and answer questions.
The assistant conductor silently fumed the entire time. At her next opportunity, she burst into the retiring conductor’s office. “I don’t believe this!” she cried, her face red. “How could you choose him over me? What does he have that I don’t have? I went to school for a decade! I’ve given another decade of my life to this orchestra! I’ll bet he’s never so much as attended one of our performances!”
The conductor remained calm and leaned back in her desk chair. “You have served with us long and well. I understand that you feel you’ve been overlooked or in some way shortchanged. During the interview process, and as I explored the new conductor’s career, it became clear to me that music is part of him to the point that it’s inseparable, and he is the conductor the orchestra needs right now. You believed you deserved this position merely by ‘doing the time.’ It’s a matter of qualifying for the position—not merely earning it.”

Twine House: Architecture inspired by organic forms
The twisting, rippling curves of Antony Gibbon’s Twine House have made waves in the world of concrete architecture. The word “twine” refers to a strong, twisted thread, or – when used in verb form – means “to wind round something”. Just like a length of twine, this wavy concrete house twists and winds its way through the surrounding landscape of rolling hills. The concept building – which the architect is keen to see realised in near
future – plays with structures, shapes, materials and surfaces to create a sculptural concrete living space.
Twine House: Spectacular concrete architecture inspired by nature
Four-metre glass windows are set inside each of the 12 arches, which open up onto a 360-degree terrace. The amphitheatre-like terrace, complete with spacious seating area and central fire pit, is nestled between the two halves of the home.
The sculptural centrepiece in the home is the spiral staircase, which leads up to a roof terrace. The top edge of the curved wall forms a natural border without restricting views of the surroundings. On the flat roof, the architect has added a hot tub and spa area, creating a calming and peaceful retreat in the middle of the natural environment.
Inside the Twine House, modern materials combine with natural shapes to create a harmonious, almost sculptural effect. The interior has separate living, dining and sleeping areas.
Large glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows allow light to flood into the space, seamlessly merging the interior with its natural habitat. The location of the building is a crucial element of its design: According to Gibbon, “it needs to be situated in the rustic nature to give the balance to the strong form”.
This extraordinary concept home has not yet been realised, but Gibbon is keen to see the Twine House come to life as soon as possible.
Antony Gibbon has already earned a reputation for his unconventional projects – including his treehouse on stilts in woodland close to New York City. Gibbon works in a variety of materials, including wood and concrete: But his designs are all characterised by their connection to nature. Sustainability also plays a significant role in all of his concepts.
The external wall of the Twine House is designed to be constructed in hemp concrete – reducing CO2 emissions by around 80 per cent compared to traditional cement-based concrete. Antony Gibbon’s Twine House shows how contemporary concrete architecture can work in harmony with nature.

Museum-Preserve "Staraya Ladoga"
Staraya (Old) Ladoga is the most ancient settlement of the north-west part of Russia. Staraya Ladoga (just Ladoga till 1704) was founded in the middle of the 8th century on the left bank of the Volkhov river - an important part of the Early Medieval trade routs . It was a reach and large trade, crafts, and military centre of the Viking age. Over the centuries, the ancient settlement has lived through many misfortunes but managed to save its precious historical monuments. You will see the viking burial mounds, the fragments of ancient fortresses of the 9th, 12th and 16th centuries, stone churches with amazing fresco paintings of the 12th century. Breathtaking views of the ancient settlement and the great deep Volkhov river are completed with reach archaeological exhibitions. Over 3 500 artefacts of the 11 000 BC - 1100 AD will show you the real History! Excursions in English are available.

CBDB stands for different things from fan to fan of the band, but it’s an acronym that’s making the rounds in the Southeast. The Tuscaloosa based sextet sports their own “joyfunk” that stirs in jazz with progressive grooves and their individual influences to produce an uplifting, funky and dynamic style that leaves plenty of room for improvisation.
With a well-produced, slick-sounding first record and a second one down the road, CBDB plans to approach the more aggressive side of prog rock, using these newer tunes at shows to test concepts for a future album. Guitarists and songwriters Cy Simonton and Kris Gottlieb caught up with us about their latest on CBDB.
Could you guys tell me a little about how you initially formed the band?
Cy: Yeah It was in 2011, after graduating from Alabama I went back to Georgia for a while, and I went back to Tuscaloosa to try to set up a band, and I heard Kris [Gottlieb] playing in a jazz fusion thing, and we just struck up a conversation, and he had been playing with some of the rest of the guys, so we basically put it together like that.
*That’s kind of been the same set up ever since or you guys have had people move in or out? *
Cy: Well, we’re on our third drummer, and actually our bass player will be with us soon, so we’ll have second bass player, but other than that it’s all original members.
I’ve listened to your stuff and I’ve read descriptions of your music online but can you possibly give me your interpretation of the stuff you guys write and play?
Kris: Well yeah, we call it joyfunk, and for us, it’s jammy, aggressive rock and roll with jazz and progressive style
Cy: It’s like progressive-funk rock and roll.
Kris: Yeah, progressive funk-rock jamband influence, and some jazz and all kinds of stuff just stirring up.
Did you guys know that was the kind of stuff you wanted to play when forming the band or was that more like stuff that kind of organically grew out of playing together?
Cy: Well I mean, all of us musically kind of have different tastes listening to other stuff so, it gets pulled in a kind of progressive place from I guess the bass being kind of funky. But we definitely knew that we wanted to play progressive rock and roll for sure.
Was there a music scene for that in Alabama? Or was that kind of different than a lot of stuff around?
Cy: Yeah, there’s not a scene quite like that in Tuscaloosa, I mean there’s talent in Tuscaloosa, but the crowd doesn’t necessarily ask for original music, so we kind of just started doing it when no one else was, honestly.
What was it like initially playing gigs around there?
Kris: I mean, it’s a college town so we’ve played for a lot of college kids. You know, you get a lot of “Play Wagon Wheel” and “Play Free Bird,” and that kind of thing. You know Tuscaloosa has been really receptive of our sound, and now it’s gotten to the point where we’re playing less in Tuscaloosa and pulling more numbers [there] so it’s been appreciated.
Cy: There definitely is a crowd for it, but it’s just not the norm for Tuscaloosa as much as it would be in somewhere like Athens or somewhere like that.
What’s it like going back there to play now since you started out there?
Cy: I mean it’s fun, it’s definitely where we have the biggest draws and people spreading the word and getting rowdy and stuff. So we definitely love playing in Tuscaloosa.


WATCH: Freedom of Information Request Filed Following Bizarre Moment at Windsor City Council
A Windsor resident is looking for some answers following a bizarre incident at Windsor's City Council meeting on Monday afternoon.
Melinda Munro has filed a Freedom of Information (FOI) request after city councillors held a recorded vote on Monday dealing with the Adie Knox Herman Recreation Complex.
Munro says during the livestream meeting, councillor Ed Sleiman opposed the motion while councillor Jo-Anne Gignac supported it right after.
Viewers could then hear Sleiman say to someone, "I thought we are opposing the motion" before his mic is turned off.
Munro says her FOI is calling on the city to disclose the transcript and recording of what happened in the room with councillor Sleiman and disclose the name and role of the person who allegedly instructed the councillor how to vote.
After watching the meeting, Munro says she was stunned by what she saw.
"Is someone telling him [Councillor Sleiman] how to vote," she questions. "Has he got someone directing his activity from back there" So I don't know if that's true or not so I filed a FOI request to say tell me who was in the room and what they were doing there."
Prior to COVID, council meeting were held in a public room and Munro says nobody would be sitting on the councillor's shoulder there.
"It's really pretty alarming to me in a democracy, somebody is telling councillor Sleiman how to vote," says Munro. "Now I hope that's not what actually happened but boy it sure looked like that what was happening in that meeting, that someone was sitting there. So as a member of the public, I can't see who he's talking to."
Munro says she has talked to a member of council about the situation.
"I asked one councillor about why people were laughing because I felt why are you laughing, why aren't you jumping up and raising a point of order," says Munro. "Why aren't you asking the chair of the meeting to step in and enforce the procedural bylaw and his response was, we were laughing because it's come to that I guess. I'm not sure what he meant by that but that's up to the councillors."
As heard on AM800 News, city council voted on Monday to commit $29-million to renovate the west end complex while also opting to close the pool and shift aquatic programming to the University of Windsor's new pool as a cost saving measure.
Windsor City Councillor Ed Sleiman released the following statement to AM800 News
During the Council Meeting, there was a lot of confusion with it came time for the motions regarding Adie Knox. The first motion from Councillor Costante was long and many Councillors had questions about what it meant. When it came time to vote on Councillor Costante’s motion, I was surprised when Councillor Jo-Anne Gignac voted in support, when her previous comments during debate, I thought she would be opposed.
So, I made a comment about the outcome of the vote because I was really surprised with Jo-Anne’s vote.
Council meetings are a lot of work. And we always prepare by reading in advance and listening to our constituents. We get e-mails from residents both in favour and opposed. Often I will call on Administration, before the meeting, for clarification about specific issues in front of us. I make up my mind after hearing from delegates and participating in debate with all members of Council. Now that we are doing zoom meetings, it has made things a bit harder: I wear a hearing aide and that can cause some problems during an on-line meeting.
But let me tell you – my vote on Council is sacred.
I know that my constituents placed their trust in me and I honour that work every day. Not just in Council meetings, but in the work that we do each day to make life better for the residents of Ward 5 and the City of Windsor.
I am disappointed that some folks are trying to make this into an issue – and hope my answer above helps explain what transpired.


Water Damage in Newport Beach CA
Newport Beach Water Damage
Water damage repairs are necessary to ensure that the structure of the house is safeguarded and protected from deterioration. As we all know, Water damage is a big concern for many homeowners. It is a form of loss that results from the intrusion of water across specific areas or an entire level of the property. The damage can be minor and progressive and it could also be catastrophic with instant results. The damage is a big contributor to the loss of property value. Flooding, rainfall and stagnant water can result to a number of risks like the weakening of the soil foundation, damage to home interiors, electrical devices, rotting and others. Any homeowner should aim to minimize the risks and prevent future damage. This is critical to keep the home safe and maintain its market value.
How to Go About Water Damage Repair
Going through an extensive water damage repair process it vital, following any form of water damage in your home. You must begin to fix the problem as soon as you discover the water, instead of postponing it or putting it off as unimportant. Mold will begin to grow on any wet areas within 24 – 48 hours of the dampness forming.
First, you should try and stop the source of where the water is coming from. If it’s a case of a leakage or burst pipe, then you may have to turn off your main water supply to completely halt the flow of water.
Next in the process of water damage repair is to remove any items and furniture that are in the room. Even if the objects are not physically wet, they can be affected simply by the humidity and bacteria in the room, especially with larger amounts of water, so it’s best to remove them.
You’ll then want to begin drying out the room as much as possible. Open any windows in the room to allow fresh air to circulate and use fans to increase the airflow. Using a dehumidifier will also be extremely effective at reducing moisture in the air, greatly speeding up the drying process.
It would be wise to use a mild detergent on all the damp areas, to kill any harmful bacteria and mold that has formed. Mold is a matter that should be taken seriously as it can grow and spread very quickly, and can be very harmful to the surface it is on and to your health.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Despite the objection of environmental groups, state environmental regulators voted Tuesday to approve new standards that will increase the amount of cancer-causing toxins allowed in Florida’s rivers and streams under a plan the state says will protect more Floridians than current standards.
The Environmental Regulation Commission voted 3-2 to approve a proposal that would increase the number of regulated chemicals from 54 to 92 allowed in rivers, streams and other sources of drinking water, news media outlets reported. The final vote came after hours of discussion, protests and emotional testimony.
The Tallahassee Democrat reported (https://on.tdo.com/2atr6Pb ) that one man called members of the commission - who are appointed by Gov. Rick Scott - “baby killers” after the vote.
The Miami Herald (https://hrld.us/29XQXxu ) reports that under the proposal, acceptable levels of toxins will be increased for more than two dozen known carcinogens and decreased for 13 currently regulated chemicals. State officials back the plan because it places new rules on 39 other chemicals that are not currently regulated.
“We have not updated these parameters since 1992. It is more good than harm,” said Cari Roth, a Tallahassee lawyer who represents developers on the commission and serves as its chair.
The standards still must be reviewed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, but the Scott administration came under withering criticism for pushing the proposal at this time. That’s because there are two vacancies on the commission, including one for a commissioner who is supposed to represent the environmental community.
“This is beyond outrageous,” Linda Young, executive director of the Florida Clean Water Network, was quoted by the Democrat as saying. “This is a wholesale denial in Florida of the value of our lives. This is our governor, who is the person who’s driving this, saying Floridians’ lives don’t matter. What matters are our industries, our corporations making more money. And they can do that by putting more pollution in our waters.”
One of the commissioners who voted against the new standards questioned if the changes were being done to assist companies that want to pursue a type of oil and gas drilling known as fracking.

What annoys you? What do you find irritating and exasperating? How do you talk about these annoyances?
Drive (someone) up the wall
“Would you please stop that endless humming? It’s driving me up the wall!”
“He is a nice enough chap, but he thinks he is funny, and he keeps cracking these inane jokes that just drive me up the wall.”
“The constant drilling in the house next door is just driving me up the wall.”
Meanings and usage
When someone drives you up the wall, they annoy or anger you extremely. This is a great idiom that comes in handy when expressing anger or exasperation. While the origin of the idiom is not very clear, it probably comes from the phenomenon where, if you are extremely annoyed by someone, you might consider scaling a wall and jumping across it to escape.
In terms of usage, this idiom is best used to convey extreme annoyance or exasperation. If someone’s whistling annoys you, and you tell them to stop within two minutes, you are probably not annoyed enough to be ‘driven up the wall’. But if you told this person to stop the whistling or if, for some reason, you are forced to simply endure the whistling, then, after a long enough duration, you would be justified in claiming that the whistling was driving you up the wall.
Catch hold of a sibling or a friend, and see if you can drive them up the wall by being deliberately annoying for an hour or so. When they finally complain, tell them about how this was the opportunity to use the expression ‘drive up the wall.’ Do this one at your own risk though!
What are some things people commonly do that drive you up the wall? Reckless driving? Talking on the phone in a movie theater? Make a quick list.
“I’ve seen that actress in some other show. I’ve been trying to figure it out for two days, and it’s really bugging me.”
“There are any number of things you could be doing this afternoon. Do you absolutely have to sit next to me and play stupid games on your phone? You’re really bugging me!”
“If you want ice cream that badly, let’s just go get it! Anything to stop you from bugging me endlessly.”
This is actually a very versatile word, with multiple meanings. A bug can be a defect or a fad, for example. But for this week, we’ll focus on ‘bug’ in the sense of annoyance. It is important to remember that while in other senses ‘bug’ can be a noun or a verb, when used in this sense, the word is always a verb.
Meanings and usage
When you are being bugged by someone, you are being annoyed by them. The idiom can also be used in the context of minor or temporary obsession. If you are struggling to recall the name of a movie you watched a long time ago, for example, you could say you are not able to recall what movie it was, and say that it is really bugging you.
You can imagine how this idiom comes about. Think about a little insect—maybe a mosquito or a fly—crawling or flying around you. The insect is never big enough to be a real threat or to take up all of your attention, but it has just enough presence to be a constant source of minor distraction.
Accordingly, the expression is best used in contexts where the source of annoyance is minor and persistent. Someone throwing rocks at you is directly attacking you, not bugging you. But seeing something odd in passing that is a trivial mystery, (you pass by some random person who walks in a strange way, and the mystery bugs you for some time), or someone’s mannerism (such as whistling), or some behavioral quirk (such as a speech mannerism), or just persistent nagging or demands for something—these can all qualify as ‘bugging.’
Think about some people close to you. What are things likely to bug them the most? And the fastest? Have a conversation with them about these minor annoyances, and tell them about using the word ‘bug’ in such situations.
For each annoyance listed above, write up a quick dialogue: someone is being annoyed by such behavior, and complains about it in exasperation. Don’t forget to use the word ‘bug’ in your sentences.

A study published Monday looked at the medical records of more than 300,000 children aged 5 to 17 who had at least one parent on active duty in the Army between 2003 and 2006. It appeared in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine [Warning: It”s written in academic-ese].
The study found that 17 percent of the children were diagnosed with the mental health disorders, most commonly depression, behavioral problems, anxiety, stress and sleep disorders. The children where at a higher risk, the longer their parent was deployed, lead researcher Alyssa J. Mansfield, then of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, found.
Last year, Mansfield published a study that drew similar conclusions about the impact of deployments on military spouses. That study, which found, based on the medical records to spouses of soldiers who were deployed, that they were more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and other mental health conditions.
Mansfield said at the time that understanding the scope of the problem can help the U.S. military better plan mental health prevention and treatment programs for the families of active duty personnel, and that the the study also may provide insight into families’ long-term medical needs.
In a commentary accompanying the pediatrics article, Dr. Stephen J. Cozza, from the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine in Bethesda, Md., noted that as of 2009, 44 percent of active duty military members have children (an estimated total of 1.2 million children), in addition to 43 percent of Reserve and National Guard members. Since 2001, about 2 million U.S. military personnel have deployed at least once.
“We used to think about deployment as a single experience: I go, I”m away, it”s difficult and then I come back. Well, it”s a way of life in the military that deployments continue to occur and families have to manage the consequences,” Cozza said.
Cozza said the children of deployed parents are worth monitoring.
“Brief screening for anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, academic difficulties, peer relational problems, or high-risk behaviors (such as substance misuse or unsafe sexual practices) is warranted and will help identify treatment needs,” Cozza said.[via U.S. News & World Report]

text: “the house no. 1” was created by New York-based artist Ugo Rondinone as a “Gesamtkunstwerk”, a total work of art and the perfect place for working and living. Each shape and each material used in the “the house no. 1” has its origin in a work of art of the Swiss born artist. All elements of the house are custom made and reflect the artist’s requirement for a functional work-life space. Furthermore the elements reference signature art works of Ugo Rondinone. For example the fireplace in the main living space is a replica of the artists piece “John’s fireplace,” which has been shown internationally in various exhibitions. The entire building is surrounded by terraces with two stairways connecting the levels. The north and west terraces were placed above ground. This results in a floating sensation, which lends the house a lightness recalling traditional Japanese buildings. A certain Japanese appearance was sought after and was further achieved with the protruding roof, which shelters the terraces. The house was constructed with prefabricated wooden elements. The facade is made up of wooden cement boards, the roof of corrugated Eternit. Inside all walls are made of white plaster and treated with beeswax. Another special feature are the custom-made latticed windows made of metal. The latticed window is a returning symbol in the art of Ugo Rondinone, a metaphor for the transition that takes place between the inside and the outside, signifying the fragmentation of the world and it’s potential standstill. The latticed windows frame the view from the inside and emphasize the idea of being surrounded by a dreamlike and magical landscape. This is supported by the burbling stream, which runs on the north side of the estate. The estate is surrounded on three sides by woodland and is located at the periphery of Würenlos near Zurich. On the north and west side the property is confined by the natural course of the stream called Furtbach. An old stupendous oak tree and a restored bee-house sit west of the house just by the stream. The detached house has been placed on a natural clearing in the forest. The house was positioned in order to allow the potential construction of another building east of the existing structure. The north facade with the porch runs parallel to the stream. To the west, the house opens up to the actual garden, designed as wild meadow. It is confined by the near forest and the natural curve of the stream. From road level to stream level there is a significant decline, which made it natural to bury the house in the south-facing terrain. Here you can find cellars, technical rooms and the sauna. Viewing the house from the street it seems like a single-story pavilion. Its considerable volume can be fully appreciated from the garden side.

In Business: Traveling Art Pub Blends Art Education with Business Partnerships
It’s what some people call an art studio on the move.
The Traveling Art Pub has expanded over its 10-year lifespan from central Minnesota to the northwest, looking to not only support local artists but other small businesses as well.
From International Falls to central Minnesota, the Traveling Art Pub can be found here, there, and everywhere. With the goal of bringing together people and businesses, the Traveling Art Pub blends art education and community connections. One such get-together was held last week at WineDown Wine Bar in Walker.
“I sit in front of people. I paint along with them. I tell them exactly what I’m doing,” explained Amanda Davenport, creative guide with the Traveling Art Pub. “They paint along with me. Sometimes the results are pretty close to mine, sometimes they just do their own thing.”
The Traveling Art Pub has studios in Bemidji and Walker. By partnering with local stores, business is brought not only to them, but their collaborators as well.
“Since we’ve opened in 2019 we have been hosting Traveling Art Pub,” said Serena Walters, WineDown’s Event Coordinator.
The Traveling Art Pub also holds events at the WineDown Nisswa location and will be at the new Crosslake location as well.
While the attendees get to walk away with a piece they made, the creative guides and business owners also gain experiences for each art pub.
“When I first started this position, I never thought that I would want to become a teacher,” said Davenport. “You have people who come to these all the time, but then the newbies that come and are actually impressed with what they did, that’s probably my favorite.”

According to The LA Times Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen will be coaches on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter and will fight on April 27th for the Light Heavyweight Title.
Before UFC 151 was officially cancelled Sonnen offered to step up and fight Jones, but Jones’ camp declined. Then Jones went on record stating that Sonnen doesn’t deserve a title bout yet, and talking his way to the title wouldn’t work. Fans disagreed.
As the voices in favor of the match grew, Dana White said it’s something they’d consider. The fans spoke loudly enough to get the fight made, and I’m sure FX was extremely happy to have the most polarizing figure in MMA on their air every week. Jon Jones being on the air doesn’t hurt ratings either. The show starts filming October 29th and if following the same format as usual will be done filming by December 10th give or take. Which means the guys on the house will be locked up for Thanksgiving, hopefully that doesn’t have an effect weight cuts. Despite a decent showing to start this season, TUF ratings stumbled big time this week falling behind in key demos.
Jones has been unstoppable thus far in his title run, Rashad Evans took him the distance to give him a full fight and Vitor Belfort lasted four rounds and almost finished the fight early with an armbar. Chael Sonnen is coming off a loss to Anderson Silva and is moving up in weight, most likely due to him having to wait a long time for another shot at 185. Both men are great, Sonnen gets over looked because he knows how to hype a fight through his persona. Jones gets hate because he was caught drunk driving with two women who weren’t his wife one night after an accident, and many fans place 100% of the blame for the cancellation of UFC 151.
April 27th should be the culmination to a great season, but at the very least it will be a fight between two top-level wrestlers in the UFC.

The American Hospice Foundation, an advocacy group that has worked to improve care for the dying and bereaved since 1995, closed its doors in summer 2014.
The foundation has lost too much funding to continue, its founding president and chief executive Naomi Naierman told me in an interview. As a parting gift, however, Ms. Naierman — a hospice executive for more than 30 years — has passed along some consumer advice.
Even as Americans make greater use of hospice care, families often don’t grasp that in most places they have a choice of programs. And when the time comes to decide, many are in the middle of a health care crisis that makes researching the options difficult.
Ms. Naierman and her colleagues have come up with some key questions to ask when you’re selecting a hospice (a more complete list appears on the foundation’s website). The conversation below has been edited and condensed for space.
In your decades with hospice, what are some of the changes you’ve seen, positive or negative?
The growth of hospice is a positive trend. It’s not only available in most communities, but in most urban areas, you have lots of options.
On the negative side, it started out with volunteers who really wanted to focus on care for the dying and has moved toward a big business, in some cases owned by very large corporations.
For a long time, we could assume that every hospice provided high-quality care. There came a time when that assumption was no longer safe.
So families have to shop around for the best hospice care?
You have to become a very savvy consumer about what is likely to be the most important health care decision you make in your life.
As a foundation, we’ve been advocating publicly available data. We are looking toward a “hospice compare” tool, published by the federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The Affordable Care Act requires public reporting on hospice care. And fortunately, there’s been a tradition of hospices conducting evaluations by primary caregivers, who are intimately familiar with the care of the patient. But that data is not yet available to the public.
Similar to Medicare’s Nursing Home Compare site? When will that happen?
It’s coming, but all too slowly. My guess is, it will be two to four years.
In the meantime, how can families interview hospices about which services they provide?
You might find they’ll come to your home to do an assessment of whether someone is eligible. That’s a time to ask questions. Or you can call on the phone. How receptive a hospice is to these questions is the first signal of their quality.
You advise asking how long a hospice has been in operation.
Hospices in some communities come and go. You want to be sure you’re not signing up with one that’s been around a few months or even a year. More established hospices are more stable, and more people can tell you about them. The physician you’re working with may have heard about their reputations.

Providence Resources signs contract for IceMax drill rig
Exploration minnow Providence Resources has signed a contract for a deep-water drilling ship that will sink one well off the south-west coast of Ireland next summer.
Providence Resources said it has signed the contract for the Stena IceMax, a harsh environment, deepwater drilling unit. It’s designed to operate in water depths of up to 3km.
The contract is for one firm well, and includes an option for an additional well.
The operational rig rate is $185,000 a day.
The well will be drilled at the Frontier Exploration Licence 2/14 site (FEL 2/14), which lies in about 2.25km of water in the southern Porcupine Basin. It’s located about 220km off the south-west coast.
The licence is operated by Providence, which owns 80pc, on behalf of its partner, Sosina, which owns the remainder.
The licence area contains the so-called Druid and Drombeg exploration prospects.
“Our previous exploration collaboration project with Schlumberger highlighted the significant hydrocarbon potential of FEL 2/14 which we will now be evaluating using the high-specification Stena IceMax drill-ship,” said Providence Resources chief executive Tony O’Reilly Jnr.
“The signing of this rig contract is a major milestone in the project plan to enable the drilling of this high impact exploration well during summer 2017,” he added.
Druid in particular is a relatively shallow Palaeocene target consisting of two fans with very large “in-place” target potential (over 3bn barrels), according to Davy Stockbrokers.
The Lower Cretaceous Drombeg target is beneath the Druid fans but could be accessed by deepening the well, the broker added in a note.


06-12-15: MacEwen concerned there’s no budget agreement at second special session halftime (audio)
Legislator: Rep. Drew MacEwen, R-Union
Date Recorded: June 11, 2015
Run Time: 68 seconds
SUGGESTED LEAD: Lawmakers in the House of Representatives returned to Olympia Thursday and voted on 14 bills. Noticeably absent from that list was an operating budget agreement. John Sattgast reports from Olympia.
(Voicer: MacEwen-NoBudget-SattgastVoicer-061215.mp3 – Run time :68 seconds.)
Sattgast: Thursday was half-time in the Legislature’s second special session. And with the end of the state’s budget cycle on June 30 and no new operating budget to vote on, there’s a lot of people getting nervous at the state Capitol.
Republican State Representative Drew McEwen from Union says negotiations remain hung up over the insistence of Democrats to raise taxes at a time when Washington is collecting more revenue than ever before.
(Voice cut: MacEwen-NoBudget-CLIP1-061215.mp3 – Run time :18 seconds – Out cue: . .to do so. )
MacEwen: “And I just think, frankly, they’re Hell-bent on having a tax increase regardless of what everything else says. And, and I think that’s just, ah, that’s become the, the plank they’re standing on. And they’re going to need to fall on it here. And you know, if it’s so important to them, they need to bring that to a vote on the floor. But they don’t. And the reason for that is that I don’t believe they have the votes in their own caucus to do so.”
Sattgast: State Representative Drew MacEwen, who says the two majority parties — Republicans in the Senate and Democrats in the House — are only 100-million dollars apart. Some Olympia insiders say that’s “budget dust” when considering a 38-billion dollar spending plan.

Because it looks like sugar, it is called “sugar fertilizer” by our farmers. Contains nitrogen and sulphur. Along with nitrogen, the plant needs sulphur. It is suitable for balancing in the calcareous soils. As it promotes the development of the plant, it prevents the thinning of the roots and stems and increases its strength

The magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 was a catastrophic event exacerbated by the extreme vulnerability of the population and the lack of preparedness and response capacity of national authorities.
The 2010 earthquake was one of the biggest natural disasters in the country’s history resulting in over 200,000 fatalities and the displacement of approximately 1.5 million people.
Prior to the earthquake, Haiti suffered from high levels of poverty and weak institutions of governance, increasing the country’s vulnerability in the immediate aftermath of the disaster.
The slow distribution of resources in the days after the earthquake resulted in civil unrest and looting.
In contrast, Japan fared better after the 2011 tsunami, which led to a nuclear power plant meltdown and the contamination of large areas with radiation. Despite the 15,000 fatalities and destruction, the incident did not fuel social or political instability.
The Japanese government was able to address both the destruction from the tsunami and contain the damage from the nuclear power plant meltdown. It also coordinated an effective program for economic recovery.
The difference in immediate impacts and repercussions in these two episodes stem from the two countries operating at vastly different levels of Positive Peace.
While Haiti displays a very low Positive Peace standing, ranking 149th in 2020, Japan is among the top 20 Positive Peace countries in the world.
This contrast highlights the role of Positive Peace as a measure of resilience, capable of protecting the population from the worst impact of a disaster and rebuilding the socio-economic system in its aftermath.

you are keeping a pool with you. Normally, you have to monitor the hardness of the water or calcium level, pH level or the acidity and basicity level, and alkalinity or the buffering capacity.
If these are all unbalanced and disregarded, the life of the pool and equipment will deteriorate. It may even cause a great discomfort to anyone who will use your pool.
Now, this is where baking soda enters the picture. Adding this ingredient will largely help you balance these major items. However, the best way on how to add baking soda to pool is very tricky.
If you want to know how to clear a cloudy pool with baking soda, aside from balancing the major items given above – this piece is the one you are looking for.
In this guide, I will try to be as concise as possible to help you add baking soda to your pool.
Things You Will Need
Here are the materials and equipment you need to use. I have tried this task many times using different tools. And with these things, I find them all the most essential and helpful ones.
1. Measuring The Volume of The Pool
This only applies if you are not that familiar with the dimension and actual measurements of your pool. (Which I assume is not that applicable to many.) If you intend to do this manually:
- Tape Measure
On the other hand, I would rather suggest for you to use online pool volume calculators as these features are more accurate and complete. Using these will lessen the possible errors as well when manually calculating values.
Although, you may still find yourself needing the use of tape measures and other measuring instruments.
2. Measuring pH and alkalinity levels
- Pool Test Kits
As a popular alternative, some owners tend to measure these by hiring professional services in the market.
But, I find it very inefficient in terms of costs since you can do it all by yourself by utilizing different pool test kits. There are quite numerous products and brands that offer these kinds of kits.
3. Adding Baking Soda
- Food-grade baking soda or Sodium bicarbonate
- Weighing scale
- Pale or Container
4. Safety Equipment
The Step-By-Step Process
1. Knowing The Volume of The Pool
Yes, you guessed it right!!!
Essentially, the volume of your pool is the foundation that you need for you to know how much baking soda you must use. I assume most of the owners already know these kinds of technical details. But if in case that you are not aware, simply take out your measuring tapes and calculators.
Get the measurements of the width, length, and depth. Once you get a hold of these, calculate these values according to the formula.
It is usually width x length x height for normal shapes and dimensions of pools. Hypertextbook could guide you in executing this.
As for pools with irregular shapes, you may use programs online. One of the most popular references that you could use is Swimmingpool’s volume calculator.
2. Getting the pH and alkalinity levels
The pH and alkalinity levels of your pool water can be measured by using pool test kits. These kits include the tools needed in getting the values of the measurement.
Although there are instructions that you could refer to, you may want to utilize your time with the specialists by asking the right questions.
The pH level must be in between 7.2 and 7.5. If the reading shows anything above 7.5 or 8.0, that means the water is basic. Hence, you may want to know how to lower pH in pool naturally. On the other hand, the water is acidic if the pH level is below 7.2.
As for the buffering capacity, the ideal alkalinity level is around 80 to 100 parts per million. Anything less to these values will make your pH drop.
Hence, adding baking soda will stabilize the alkalinity of your pool which will also lead to neutralizing the pH level.
keeping the pH and alkalinity levels balanced is essential as this maximizes the effectiveness of the disinfectant.
3. Wearing the Right Gear
When dealing with baking soda, you have to make sure that you are wearing safety gears. These gears include the goggles, gloves, and mask which will hinder you from inhaling the powder and having direct contact with it.
In addition, always regard all the necessary safety guidelines in handling the materials.
4. Computing the Amount of Baking Soda
Basing on pH levels
If the measurement reads a 7.2 pH level, you have to prepare 3 lbs. of baking soda in a clean pale or container for 10000 gallons of pool water. When your pool measures a total volume of 20000 gallons of water, then you need to prepare 6lbs in totality.
Basing on Alkalinity
Say, for instance, your pool reads a value of 20 parts per million of alkalinity, then you must prepare 12 lbs. of baking soda for 10000 gallons of water.
Now, if the level reaches 60 parts per million, 6 lbs. of baking soda must be ready to be added. This is accurately measured by specialists from Sciencing.
5. Adding the Baking Soda To the Pool
Once everything is prepared, start checking the perimeter of your pool. Stand in a place where you feel you are comfortable. Slowly, pour the baking soda into the deep end while moving around until enough baking soda is all added.
All Done and Set!
Keeping your pool clean and safe is very much essential especially if you and your family always use this amenity. The best way you could do to maintain a nice and safe pool is by adding baking soda.
Primarily, you must know the volume of your pool. Secondly, measure the pH and alkalinity levels by using pool test kits.
Thirdly, never forget to wear the safety gears and observe safety guidelines.
Fourthly, measure how much baking soda you need by basing it on either the actual levels of your alkalinity or pH.
Lastly, add the baking soda by pouring it on the deep end and slowly moving around the perimeter until all baking soda is added.
If you think that this is highly insightful and helpful, you may share this post to cater more knowledge and assistance. In addition, you may share your reactions and suggestions especially if you do have one in the comment section below.

A growing number of downtown Miami’s new residents are moving in without cars.
Greg West, president of Zom, told the WSJ that 23% of residents in his company’s 2,000 downtown Miami apartments are now living without cars – less than they had anticipated.
The number of car-less residents is growing, he said.
To adapt, the developer is building new projects with up to 30% fewer parking spaces, and adding bigger driveways for car sharing services.
Some of the space in one of Zom’s under-utilized garages has been turned into a dog run.

DIFFERENT FROM YOUR USUAL FLOWERS, I LIKE THE COLORS USEDSO MUCH...
It really gave me a well needed smile today when I came back and seen all of the sweet and wonderful comments. It's been a rough road here, but I started this for an auction gift quite a while ago and I had to get it finished. Everyone knows how much I love flowers and love to draw them so I thought if I did finish this it might give me a little good luck. Of course it did...hearing from all of my old and some new friends here. Thank you all! Big gigantic hugs too! :

Hurricane Ian is currently battering the state of Florida with flash flooding, storm surges, and winds of more than 100 miles per hour. Hurricane Ian hit the Sunshine State as a Category 4 storm, but has since been downgraded to a Category 3. However, there is still a lot of damage that can be done before it leaves the state and makes its way up the coast.
In preparation for Hurricane Ian, Walt Disney World Resort announced that several Resort hotel areas would be closing — the Treehouse Villas at Saratoga Springs, Copper Creek Cabins at Wilderness Lodge, the Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and the Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness. Disney reached out to Guests who were scheduled to arrive at those Resort areas during Hurricane Ian and told them that their reservations had been canceled.
But what if you were already at one of the hotels when Disney announced that they were closing them? Well, one TikToker documented everything that her family went through — and the chaos that others went through as well — as they moved from Fort Wilderness to Disney’s Art of Animation.
According to TikToker Amber_Rose (@magicalrvrunner) shared that her family had brought their RVs to Fort Wilderness and, while they were there, they were informed that the campsites would be closing, and they would have to move to a different hotel. In the first video, she shows the notice that was posted, saying that everyone had received the same note.
We trust @Disney Parks to make the best decisions. #rvlife #hurricaneian #hurricaneian #disneyresorts #fortwilderness #fortwildernesscampground #hurricaneiantrack #hurricaneian2022 #disneyworld #rvtiktok
From there, Amber — and everyone else staying on the campground — went to the concierge to see where they could stay and what their options were.
Amber and her family then had to take their RVs to the Magic Kingdom Parking lot, as that is where Disney had informed them all the RVs were being kept during the Hurricane and shutdown.
In a final video, Amber shared that since her family was larger, they were sent to Disney’s Art of Animation, and smaller families had the option to stay at Port Orleans. However, as the storm shifted and gained strength, Amber and her family decided to leave Disney World altogether. She filmed the check-in desk at Art of Animation and the line was massive, with Guests checking in and Guests checking out.
We knew we were safe in a Disney resort, but we also knew had time to get out of FL and try to save our vehicles/RV. #hurricaneian #hurricaneianprep #hurricaneflorida #hurricaneseason #fortwildernessdisney #fortwildernesscampground #artofanimationresort #artofanimation #disneyresorts #rvtok #rvtiktok #camperlife
For Guests staying that the hotels, Disney is selling hurricane meal kits, so Guests do not have to worry about leaving their rooms when the storm gets really bad. At this time, all Disney Parks will be closed until the morning of September 30.
Disney Dining will update readers if Disney changes its reopening schedule.

Former financial adviser gets five-year ban
The corporate regulator has banned a former financial adviser for failing to act in his clients' best interests.
ASIC announced today that it has banned Stephen Michael Beckton, a financial adviser and former authorised representative of non-aligned licensee Sentinel Private Wealth Pty Ltd, from providing financial services for five years.
An ASIC review of Mr Beckton's advice found that he had recommended clients change superannuation and insurance products in circumstances where there was little benefit, but significant cost, to the client.
This advice benefited Mr Beckton through increased adviser fees and commissions he received from insurers, ASIC said.
Mr Beckton was found to have: failed to act in the best interests of his clients; failed to provide appropriate advice to his clients; failed to accurately disclose the fees associated with his advice; and failed to put the interests of his clients ahead of his own, when he knew that there was a conflict of interest, ASIC said.
ASIC deputy chair Peter Kell said, “Financial advisers must put their clients' interests ahead of their own. Super switching that provides little benefit to the client but is very profitable to advisers is clearly unacceptable.”
Mr Beckton was a representative of Sentinel Private Wealth from September 2013 to October 2016.
Mr Beckton has a right to appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for a review of ASIC's decision.
