Where Are the Women?
Hardly any women appear in the current issue of Christian History. Fact is, for most of the church's 2,000 years, women didn't do history in an official sense. They did plenty of other things, though, as contemporary historians-male and female-describe in countless new books. Here's a glance at a few of them to pique your interest:
The Forgotten Desert Mothers by Laura Swan (Paulist Press, 2001)
As a graduate student in theology, Laura Swan wrestled with some of life's biggest questions. She began to find answers in the wisdom of ancient ascetics, but something was missing. Written records of the desert monks were easy to find, but references to desert mothers-who may have outnumbered men two to one-lay in shadows, occasionally popping up as footnotes in rare scholarly works. Swan decided to play the sleuth and track them down.
Swan's subtitle, Sayings, Lives, and Stories of Early Christian Women, summarizes the types of information she unearthed. After helpful chapters on desert life and spirituality, Swan presents sayings analogous to those found in Benedicta Ward's more famous book Sayings of the Desert Fathers. Swan's running commentary on the sayings gushes a bit, detracting from the impact of the sayings themselves. However, as the glossary at the back of the book demonstrates, Swan anticipates a green audience, and she doesn't want to lose them.
Stories of lesser known desert mothers, early deaconesses, monastic community leaders follow the sayings. Swan indicates that she has toned down the stories from their original hagiographic form, again seeking to make the material attractive to modern readers. Swan's edits certainly make the stories more readable, but some credibility is lost; Swan's simple, declarative sentences ...

GM Tips articles offer advice and ideas for gamesmasters to help hone their techniques and run their games, these lists are not exhaustive but provide some tips to point a GM in the right direction.
The impetus for this article came about during a discussion about dream sequences with Rob and Thashif prior to an online Dresden Files game, we were discussing how dream sequences can be very entertaining providing that you’re not trying to trick the players into thinking it is real. How many times have you seen a similar thing in TV or films where the director sets up a series of shots to mislead you into thinking one things, only to pull the rug out from under you at the end and reveal that actually something else was going on?
This is fine when it’s a whodunnit or a murder mystery on TV where part of the fun is trying to unravel the mystery yourself and “outwit” the creator of the story to find the truth, it tends not to be quite so satisfying in games though for a few reasons:
1. The GM is the players window on the world.
The players in a roleplaying game have to rely on the GM to describe what their characters can see, hear and feel, unless there is a reason that their senses are playing tricks on them (perhaps a psychic attack or a some manner of drug) then the GM should generally provide reliable information to the players. If the players consistently find that their character’s own senses are betraying them then they will start to question everything, progress in the game will slow to a crawl as they debate every action.
2. Using dreams and visions as a “get out of jail free card” is very unsatisfying.
Dreams and visions can be used to great effect if the player suspects they are experiencing such a state, however, trying to save a character from death or retcon an element of the campaign setting by declaring “oh that was all a dream” can be extremely unsatisfying and sets a dangerous precident in your games; without an element of risk the sense of achievement when the player character do succeed is lessened, if the players think you’re going to pull them out of the fire all the time then you remove that sense of risk.
3. Dreams and visions generally only involve a single player.
Unless you can work out a way for your players to have a shared experience then it’s only going to involve one of the PCs, even if the other players are portraying their characters in the vision, they’re only dream versions of the characters. This can cause a lot of confusion involving character knowledge, when a few sessions down the line someone brings up some information because they’ve forgotten it was only a dream version of their character that discovered the Baron was secretly planning to overthrown the kingdom.
If you are going to run a dream or a vision keep the following in mind:
- Let the players know that it is a dream. You don’t have to say to them that it is a dream, but dreams rarely follow the same logic as the real-world, have strange things happen or people behave oddly to let the characters know that they are not in the normal world.
- Have consequences for getting harmed in the vision. Now if someone dies in a dream I’m not saying that their character should die in the real world, but certainly have some damage afflict them if they believe themselves immune to harm. Exhaustion levels are one good way of representing this, psychic trauma is another.
- If the sequence is a dream have it reflect what the character knows or believes. Whilst a vision might reveal information that a character has no other way of finding out a dream should only reflect what a character believes or knows, if a character believes that an NPC as a traitor or evil in some way then (whether they are or not) you should reflect this in the dream, perhaps their hands are stained with blood or their shadow seems to lengthen abnormally and linger when they leave a room.
By not trying to trick your players dreams and visions can add a great fantasy element to a game, after all such things are a part of many fantasy stories, be honest with your players and these sequences will be much better received and will not detract from the dangers of the real-world in your campaign.

The Benefits and Drawbacks of Playing at a Casino Online
Those who enjoy gambling might be interested in playing at a casino online. Unlike traditional casinos, where the games are played against a computer algorithm, live dealer online casinos let players interact with a live dealer. The resulting experience is a whole new world of excitement. However, it’s important to understand the benefits and drawbacks of these virtual gambling halls before you sign up for an account.
The main benefit of a live dealer is that it provides an immersive, interactive casino experience. In addition, the quality of the streaming studio is much better than that of a typical online casino. Some live casinos even feature professional dealers who are trained to provide the highest level of game play. These professionals are often located in countries where the casino is a major part of the economy.
The other benefits of playing at a live online casino are the social component and the fact that you can interact with other players. Many live casinos have live chat features that allow you to interact with other players, discuss the rules of the game, and tip the dealer. You can also see how much your balance is at any given moment, and learn more about the history of the game.
One of the most popular casino games to play at a live online casino is blackjack. Although the playing strategy is simple, you must be aware of some important tips before you get started. Specifically, you should avoid playing under the influence, and you should play when you are not overly emotional. You should also pay attention to the dealers’ behavior. If they are overly aggressive or overly polite, they might not be the best players to bet with. You should also avoid betting too soon.
Another bonus to playing at a live online casino is that you don’t have to take a plane to Las Vegas or change out of your pyjamas. You can also play on any device. A live online casino offers a variety of exciting games including Baccarat, Craps, Roulette, and Poker. In addition, you can participate in progressive jackpots, which keep increasing until someone wins. The jackpots are the biggest draws for most online gamers.
In addition, the best live dealer online casinos offer attractive bonuses. Some online casinos will even give players a free chip to try out their live games. Some of these bonuses are available only to certain sections of the online casino, while others are available to all players. The minimum deposit for a live casino is only $5.
Other notable benefits include the availability of jackpots, which can bring life-changing prizes. For instance, some casinos will give players a chance to win a free spin on a wheel of fortune, which could lead to a prize worth several thousand dollars. Alternatively, some will let you place a bet on the Dragon Tail, a popular side bet in Chinese 80-ball lottery games.
The other notable thing about a live online casino is that the gaming action is broadcast to the screen in real time. The video feed is streamed in high definition, so you’ll feel like you’re at the tables of a real casino.

Arcjets are definitely the gray area between thermal and magnetically based propulsion, arc heating, is a very interesting option. Here, a spark, or arc, of electricity is sustained between two electrodes. This heating is virtually the same way an arc welder operates. This has the advantage that you aren’t thermally limited by your resistor for your highest thermal temperature: instead of being limited to about a thousand Kelvin by the melting point of your electric components, you can use the tens of thousands of Kelvin from the plasma of the arc – meaning more energy can be transferred, over a shorter time, within the same volume, due to the greater temperature difference. In most modern designs, the positive electrode – the anode – is at the throat of the nozzle. However, this arc also erodes your electrodes, carrying ablated and vaporized and even plasmified bits of their material., So there’s a limitation to how long this sort of thruster can operate before the components have to be replaced. The propellant isn’t just heated by the arc itself, but also conduction and convection from the heated structural components of the thruster.
Arcjets have been studied by NASA since the 1950s, however they didn’t become commonly used in spacecraft until the 1990s. Several companies, including Lockheed Martin and others, offer a variety of operational arcjet thrusters. As with the resistojet, the chemical stability is excellent for piggyback payloads, and they offer better efficiencies than a resistojet. They are higher-powered systems, though; often higher than your average satellite power bus (sometimes in the kW range), necessitating custom power supplies for most spacecraft (in a nuclear-powered spacecraft, this would obviously be less of an issue). Arcjets offer much higher exhaust velocities compared to resistojets, generally 3500-5000 m/s for hydrazine decomposition drives similar to what we discussed above, and up to 9000 m/s using ammonia, and are also able to scale by both scale and power efficiently. In these systems, though, the propellant doesn’t necessarily need to be a gas or liquid at operational temperature: some thrusters have used polytetrafluoroethelene (PFTE, Teflon) as a propellant.
This type of propellant is also very common in a sub-type of arcjet thruster, one that doesn’t use an internal cathode: the pulsed plasma thruster. Here, the PFTE propellant block is brought into contact with a cathode on one side of the thruster, and an anode on the other. The electric charge arcs across the gap, vaporizing the propellant, and pushing the propellant back slightly, The arc and resulting plasma continue to the end of the thrust chamber, and then the propellant (usually loaded on a spring mechanism) is brought back to the point that the propellant can be vaporized. This type of thruster is very common for small spacecraft, since it’s incredibly simple and compact, although certain designs can have engineering challenges with the spring mechanism and the lifetime of the cathode and anode.
Arcjets can also be combined with magnetoplasmadynamic thruster acceleration chambers, since arc heating is also a good way to create plasma. The pulsed plasma thruster often uses electric arcs for charging their propellant, for instance. This mechanism is also used in magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thrusters, which is why we haven’t placed them with the rest of the thermal thrusters.
In fact, there’s more in common between an arcjet and an MPD thruster than between other thermal designs. The cathode and anode of an arcjet are placed in exactly the same configuration as most designs for an MPD (with some exceptions, to be fair). The exhaust itself is not only vaporized, but ionized, which – like with the RF or MW thrusters – lends itself to adding electromagnetic acceleration.

Nancie Dillon. Drawing Online. January 30th , 2020.
Some individuals have a lot of obvious capabilities. You’ve just defined the type of the light region of the forehead. Learn how to observe the makeup of the piece you wish to draw, visualize the object, get your head in the object and now place the lines that you visualize back on paper. If you’re drawing an actual object, compare what you’ve sketched and what’s on the original object.
The previous thing to think about is what sort of floor you would really like in the building. Now you have a ground, it’s time to construct the walls. Sit and concentrate on your relaxed hand thinking what’s the very first step to drawing my hand. Use whatever drawing tools you have near hand and you’ll learn to draw… You will get a drawing expert. Look and realize the object not the hand which you are so acquainted with, start looking for the story your hand tells. There are several sharp edges to be on the lookout for, so use caution.
Sit and concentrate on your relaxed hand thinking what’s the very first step to drawing my hand. Look and realize the object not the hand which you are so acquainted with, start looking for the story your hand tells. You will even apply your hand and fingers to create an ideal skin texture to reach the photo-realistic appearance.
Light painting is a technique which isn’t widely utilized in photography and lots of people search for a decent light painting tutorial. There are many types light painting. Bearing that in mind, consider a couple of things that you ought to know about figuring out how to craft this sort of art, legally, and safely for that issue. When it has to do with art, you can’t understand what they’re likely to call the next Mona Lisa. Impressionism art emphasizes how the artist interprets a scene instead of painting a precise picture. The artist would need to be well recognized by a large quantity of people and the artwork had to highlight some type of beauty. 37 artists from all around the world traveled to Wilhelmshaven in Germany.
In some instances graffiti could be quite recent, especially in the event of drawings. For instance, the graffiti in many Hispanic neighbourhoods in the United States of america is quite elaborate and is thought of by many as a sort of urban art. It’s never strongly suggested that you do anything illegal, so in the event that you want to understand how to compose graffiti, do so with safety in mind. Graffiti has a truly distinctive style all its own. Graffiti such as gang symbols that are supposed to create a feeling of fear in the viewer ought never to be allowed on public property.
If you wish to earn money on the internet you have to struggle hard. Making money on the internet is not a simple thing to do. The more friends you’ve got the more you’ll earn money. Taking away the longing and craving developed within a body takes a good deal of time.
A designer, nevertheless, is taught everything they will need to understand to be able to be skillful in their work. Some designers may consider themselves artists but, at the close of the day, this isn’t the case because their intent is to convey a specific message. Character design is, for me, among the most important phases of pre-production. Whenever your decorating style is contemporary, no matter how the fireplace is classified as traditional, then it will want to get Incorporated in the exact design scheme. I hope you’ve got fun with it! If so, they know to go play and return later.

While the majority of the iPhone's easter eggs and secrets have over time been discovered, pulled apart and analysed to the umpteenth degree, the smartphone continues to have one, little-known trick up its sleeve: A hidden serial port. The inherent possibilities are endless: Network engineers have talked of even bringing their phone into server rooms, rather than having to use a laptop or remote terminal.
According to Chris Pollock at io Networks, "The real benefit in all of this is that there are so many console packages for iPhone in Cydia now that you can have a fully functional computer, as useful as a linux box, but without carrying around a laptop".
One company has already tried to jump on that boat but even though its purpose-built accessories were announced in February, they are yet to hit store shelves. The solution: Build it yourself.
Pollock compiled a step-by-step guide to do exactly that, thanks to his own handiwork and the diagrams at pinouts.ru. We reproduced it here with his permission.
I discovered that the iPhone serial port is in fact a TTL device - super low voltage. I looked at what I'd need for the dock connector too, and quickly realised that I'd have to be a LOT better at soldering than I am. Not wanting to spend time learning, instead I bought a breakout board. I'd been meaning to buy one of these for a long time for the purposes of building a line-in from a mixing desk, but eventually bought one for this project.
This particular dock connector breakout cost $35USD because it was fully labelled, but you can buy cheaper ones. They also get cheaper if you don't want them pre-soldered. The connector board lets you easily access all the pins on the bottom of an iPhone.
To operate the serial port, we need to run an RS232 to TTL converter. Fortunately, there's a 3.3v output on the bottom of the phone that'll power our unit. Not useful if you want to get into the phone's serial console, since it only provides power once booted.
The voltages in regular RS232 serial would fry a TTL port quick smart, so I needed something to convert between the two. Maxim makes a chip called a MAX3232 that will do the job. You can buy one of these pre-soldered to a DB9 connector and PCB, or you can buy the raw chip and wire it up yourself. The raw chip is cheaper but again, more work. You'll need five 0.1uF capacitors and the knowledge of how to wire them up. This information is pretty readily available, but the datasheet for the MAX3232 is confusing, so here's a schematic on what this raw wiring should look like. There are plenty of prebuilt ones on eBay, but they all have female DB9s, so I had to make up a custom headshell.
Now, this part got confusing because Cisco devices don't use standard RJ45 serial pins for communication, and all of these devices are labelled vaguely as to which direction the RX and TX are relative to. Pin 12 is the PHONE's RX. Pin 13 is the PHONE'S TX. Connect Pin 12 to the TX on the TTL converter, and Pin 13 to the RX. This saves you 30 minutes of pain right there. While you would assume that each device labels its RX/TX relative to itself, this assumption is pain-in-the-ass-fully wrong.
You'll also need to connect a 470kohm resistor between pin 1 (GND) and 21 (Accessory detect) to enable the UART.
Now grab a male DB9 head, and a rollover cable. Cut the head off the rollover, then solder it to the DB9. Wire Pin 3 of the RJ45 to Pin 2 of the DB9, Pin 6 of the RJ45 to pin 3 of the DB9, and Pins 4 and 5 of the RJ45 to Pin 5 of the DB9. Of course, this isn't necessary if you bought the correct gender DB9 in the first place, and you should just wire them up normally straight off the chip, then plug your regular rollover cable into it.
It's also super easy to make this an RJ45 port as this was earlier in the prototype process by doing the same in reverse with an RJ45 socket instead of the DB9. Again, Cisco rollover console is Pin 3 TX, Pin 6 RX, and Pins 4 & 5 are Ground.
Now that all this is wired up, you probably want to put it in a case to protect it. I got a basic project case for $5 from Jaycar.
Jailbreak your iPhone and install Terminal, OpenSSH server and Minicom. Change the root password using the passwd command (assuming your iOS is a version in which passwd works) before enabling the SSH server. The default password is alpine, and it's commonly known, so you really need to change it.
Once installed, open up Terminal or SSH in, start Minicom and change the settings - same as you would on a linux box. The device is /dev/tty.iap, speed 9600 8N1, no hardware or software flow control. Remove all the device initialisation, dialling and hangup strings, and save the new configuration as something, preferrably Cisco. Save and exit.
Restart Minicom with your new config by typing 'minicom cisco' and you're done. SSH into it from a windows machine on-site or via an iPad and you're set. 3G iPhones with smashed screens are cheap, you can just leave one in your bag with the serial port, and you never have to worry about being locked out of a device.
There you have it! All parts were acquired from eBay, Ridax and Jaycar. By the time I bought everything it probably cost around $80, but you can probably build it cheaper.
Pollock's other projects and mayhem can be found at Loss4Words.

OK to take birds outside?
I have several customers that take their birds outside, with clipped wings, against my pleading with them not to do it. Below I have listed my concerns, and I want your opinion on these things. Maybe I am being overly concerned. If not, maybe having a response from an avian vet like you will change their habits.
1) The bird may get swept away by a breeze.
2) A predator, either from the air or ground, could get the bird without warning.
3) The birds that are allowed to sit in trees could get a disease from the wild birds.
4) The birds that are allowed to sit in trees could get mites.
Thanks so much for always being there to help!

In the last few years, email attacks have rapidly increased in volume and sophistication, with well-researched and convincing impersonation attacks accompanying rising cases of account takeovers. Their sophistication has particularly accelerated over the course of 2020, with globally pertinent news and more businesses embracing new ways of working proving to be fertile content for email attacks.
In this threat landscape, traditional email tools – which create rules for what ‘bad’ emails look like based on past campaigns – are missing these novel and sophisticated hoax emails.
This blog looks at an Australian logistics company that had Mimecast operating in its Microsoft 365 environment, but moved to an autonomous approach to email security when a malicious email — deemed benign by all other tools — was detected by Darktrace’s AI.
The company was trialling Antigena Email which was installed in passive mode, meaning it wasn’t configured to actively interfere. However, looking into the email dashboard allows us to see what actions the technology would have taken – and the consequences of relying purely on gateways to stop advanced threats.
Without AI taking action, compromising one employee’s email account was all the attacker needed to continue making headway throughout the business. The attacker accessed several sensitive files, gathering details of employees and credit card transactions, and then began communicating with others in the organization, sending out over two hundred further emails to take hold of more employee accounts. This activity was picked up in real time by Darktrace’s Microsoft 365 SaaS Module.
Details of the attack
The company was under sustained attack from a cyber-criminal who had already performed account hijacks on a number of their trusted partners. Abusing their trusted relationships, the attacker sent out several tailored emails from these partners’ accounts to the Australian company. All used the same convention in the subject – RFP for [compromised company’s name] – and all appeared to be credential harvesting.
Figure 1: A sample of the malicious emails from the hijacked accounts; the red icon indicating that Antigena Email would have held these emails back
Each of these emails contained a malicious payload, which was a file storage (SharePoint) link, hidden behind the below text. It’s likely the attacker did this to bypass mail link analysis. Mimecast did rewrite the link for analysis, but it failed to identify it as malicious.
Figure 2: Darktrace surfaces the text behind which the link was hidden
When clicked on, the link took the victim to a fake Microsoft login page for credential harvesting. This was an accurate replica of a genuine login page and sent email and password combinations directly to the attacker for further account compromise.
Figure 3: The fake Microsoft login page
A number of employees read the email, including the CEO; however only one person – a general manager – appeared to get their email account hijacked by the attacker.
About three hours after opening the malicious email, an anomalous SaaS login was detected on the account from an IP address not seen across the business before.
Open source analysis of the IP address showed that it was a high fraud risk ISP, which runs anonymizing VPNs and servers – this may have been how the attacker overcame geofencing rules.
Shortly afterwards, Darktrace detected an anonymous sharing link being created for a password file.
Darktrace revealed that this file was subsequently accessed by the anomalous IP address. Deeper analysis showed that the attacker repeated this methodology, making previously protected resources publicly available, before immediately accessing them publicly via the same IP address. Darktrace AI observed the attacker accessing potentially sensitive information, including a file that appeared to hold information about credit card transactions, as well as a document containing passwords.
Perpetuating the attack
The following day, after the attacker had exhausted all sensitive information they could elicit from the compromised email account, they then used that account to send out further malicious emails to trusted business associates using the same methodology as before – sending fake and targeted RFPs in an attempt to compromise credentials. Darktrace’s SaaS Module identified this anomalous behavior, graphically revealing that the attacker sent out over 1,600 tailored emails over the course of 25 minutes.
Figure 7: A graphical representation of the burst of emails sent over a 25 minute period
Why AI is needed to fight modern email threats
For the logistics company in question, this incident served as a wake-up call. The Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) running their cloud security was completely unaware of the account takeover, which was detected by Darktrace’s SaaS Module. The organization realised that today’s email security challenge requires best in class technologies that can not only prevent phishing emails from reaching the inbox, but detect account takeovers and malicious outbound emails sent from a compromised account.
This incident caused the organization to deploy Antigena Email in active mode, allowing the technology to stop the most subtle and targeted threats that attempt to enter through the inbox based on its nuanced and contextual understanding of the normal ‘pattern of life’ for every user and device.
The reality is, hundreds of emails like this trick not only humans, but traditional security tools every day. It’s clear that when it comes to the growing email security challenge, the status quo is no longer good enough. With the modern workforce more dispersed and agile than ever, there is a growing need to protect remote users across SaaS collaboration platforms, whilst neutralizing email attacks before they reach the inbox.
Thanks to Darktrace analyst Liam Dermody for his insights on the above threat find.

The Louisiana Department of Health and the state's Medicaid program are in one of the strongest financial positions in six years, after the state opted to expand Medicaid through the federal Affordable Care Act, a new report shows.
LDH's fiscal forecast report predicts that, because of the infusion of federal dollars tied to Medicaid, the department will end the budget cycle next June with a modest $2.85 million surplus, after facing deficits in five of the previous six years.
That's on top of the $184 million boost that was calculated into the state budget, based on savings from Medicaid expansion.
Against all odds, Louisiana has become the 31st state — perhaps more noteworthy, the first s…
The surplus only exists because of federal funding, the report shows. LDH is on track for a $394.6 million shortfall in state-only funding. That's down from the $561 million shortfall predicted in the forecast at this point last year, but still indicates that the program is costing more than expected when state lawmakers crafted the budget.
The fiscal report also provides some additional insight into the Medicaid expansion population three months in. The state had set a target goal of enrolling 375,000 new people under the expanded criteria in its first year. Now, the state is on track to hit 402,333 new adult members by the end of June. The current tally is 331,763.
The expansion population is also trending older than was initially expected, which means it's costing the state more per month than anticipated, the report reveals and cites as one of the driving factors behind the state-side shortfall.
"At the same time, fewer pregnant women and people with disabilities are enrolling in the non‐expansion program than originally estimated because they are enrolling in expansion instead,resulting in a surplus of $20.7 million in payments to managed care organizations for the non‐expansion population," the report notes.
Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, signed an executive order expanding Medicaid shortly after taking office in January. Enrollment began in June, with coverage beginning in July.
Louisiana is currently experiencing what is likely to become its first significant increase …
Adults who make below 138 percent of the federal poverty level — about $33,500 a year for a family of four or $16,200 for a single adult — are among the newly eligible population.
Previously, childless adults were not eligible for Medicaid in Louisiana, and the income restrictions for people with children were tighter.
Under the federal health care law, the federal government will pick up 100 percent of the tab for the state’s new enrollees through the end of the year. The federal match rate will gradually scale back to 90 percent, with the state picking up the other 10 percent by 2020.

Aspirin has cancer fighting effects!
The University of Newcastle (UK), in a new study, have found that aspirin has cancer-fighting effects.india Updated: Oct 03, 2006 17:41 IST
When it comes to the battle against cancer, it seems that an age-old warrior aspirin is still the best defence. Boffins at the University of Newcastle (UK), in a new study, have found that aspirin has cancer-fighting effects that extend beyond already understood Cox inhibitors.
They found that aspirin acts on the signalling molecule NFkappaB, which is known to trigger the formation of new blood vessels, an important part of tumour development.
Aspirin reduces the formation of blood vessels that fuel developing tumours. Without new blood vessels (formed through a process called angiogenesis) tumours cannot grow.
The researchers also found a dose-dependent relationship between blood vessel formation and the amount of aspirin used in the study.
This new finding confirms and extends earlier evidence suggesting that NFkappaB is a target of aspirin action in inflammation; now researchers can work out exactly how signals interrupted by aspirin can control not only inflammation, but the biology of tumour growth as well.
Gerald Weissmann, MD, Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal, said that the new study showed that aspirin was still the “wonder-drug” that it is touted to be, and that boffins were still learning all the actions the drug may have.
"Aspirin has always been touted as a 'wonder drug,' and this study shows that we are still learning about the many actions of this amazing drug," he said.
This finding appears in the October 2006 issue of The FASEB Journal.

We’re all held by something; the very envronment we live in “holds us” but, of course, there are layers of being held and, intriniscally, we hold ourselves…though in what way and with how much success depends from person to person, affected by our particular nervous system’s “wiring” and influenced, hugely, by experiences we had prenatally and as very young children. Some of those effects influence our ability to be held all our lives. When they go array, they directly influence the way we experience the world around us, potentially leading to chronic pain conditions that confound our understanding of why we have them (or why they won’t resolve…), often because of significant levels of hypersensitivity to the environment and other unpleasant sensations that other people successfully filter out.
This is far more than a case of mind over matter: this is a reality of one person having an entirely different experience of life to the next person, in ways so impactful as to suggest that there is next to no way of making that experience any more bearable for them (though there are ways, more on that later). This degree of sensitivity goes way beyond the standard definition of being highly-sensitive and turns into pathology and lost quality of life. It is as isolating as it is impossible to explain to others and can feel as though it came from nowhere, or perhaps has been there all of your life in one form or another, perhaps worsening with the passing of time, which has been my experience, often making no sense at all in the context of how well you look after yourself, strive for a healthy life and cultivate positive attitudes and yet, all through your nervous system, there are triggers, over-reaction and pain. Its as though your nervous system is laid wide-open to the sky rather then held, or supported, by life.
One thing I am realising, ever more clearly as I scrape the barrel of my early life experiences, is that I was “circumstantially” held by home and family as a child, in fact held very well indeed as mine was a safe-and-secure family upbringing, for which I am just so grateful, but that I was not actually held all that much at all. By this I mean I was firmly, tightly, held by routine, familiarity, fondess and acts of care but that I was not carried, cuddled, snuggled or rocked often, if at all.
From what I recall directly myself and of my mother, who was generally too thinly-spread to make herself available for long in my early years and disliked being crowded, plus all those other things I’ve gathered about, been told and studied in my family’s behaviour over the years, I likely wasn’t cradled much or nestled for hours beneath my mother’s shielding arm, as I did for my daughter and still do if she craves it (even though she is now 22). There were no stories sat on my mother’s lap though my sister sometimes stepped in. I wasn’t breastfed much if at all (I can’t seem to find that out but I know I was quickly adept at holding my own bottle and can remember doing that at an early age, facing backwards in the rocking chair that was my favourite, as it enabled me to self-sooth, as though to gain myself a niche of privacy and comfort as I averted my eyes from the always busy and brightly-lit room) whereas I breastfed my daughter extra-long by western standards and ceased only at her own cue, using those precious times to calm and cultivate closeness with her. I wasn’t scooped into the parental bed for cuddles, in fact I really wasn’t made welcome there at all (I recall that vividly!), whereas my daughter slept with me for the first several months and was a frequent visitor for years, always welcomed (as long as she meant to sleep, at least for a bit…and I never pushed her away) even when I had work the next day.
I see, in all this, how I strove to do things very differently when my time came to be a parent, almost with vehemence you could say, though it was to be another few years before I realised it came from a sense of having been deprived of certain contacts when I was a child. What my own parenting style also tells me is that I am not inherently adverse to contact, at least not with those I feel intimate with (I’m not a happy hugger of friends, broader family and strangers), its just that it wasn’t made available to me at that age; at least not in the same way or with the same attitude of wanting to offer it, or considering it precious time spent bonding together, that I made available to my daughter. I was left to sleep it out during the day in my pram, parked in another room or, frequently, the garage as the house was overcrowded with three older children. No-doubt that was also an attempt to gain me some peace and quiet away from them too, and to encourage me to cry myself to sleep as was the trend at the time, but my two earliest memories are of lying there listening to the sound of their chatter and play through windows and walls, feeling seperate, alone and unheard. The degree to which I can so vividly recall that feeling in my gut and my nervous system, as visceral as if it was yesterday, is a telling clue to the way I have felt left-out all my life.
Instead of maternal cradling, I was handed around much of the time, like a nuisance sack of potatoes that no one really wanted to carry. I was frequently lumped into the lap of siblings, still fidgety and fed-up children themselves, where at best I became the butt of experimental play that sometimes backfired horribly without parental supervision or, at worst, repeatedly belittled and made to feel small. Of course, I was small but smallness here suggested “less than”, a nuisance, stupid, unwanted, the one that didn’t fit in to the unit rather than cuteness or a call to be gentle. I was the reason we no longer fit in the car to “go anywhere”, the cause of cancelled holidays once I couldn’t fit in the “boot” (where I remember often sitting once I didn’t have to be held, my journeys viewed backwards as I rocked and rolled around on the corners; seatbelts were yet to become mandatory), always a kind of third-wheeler in everything, though I was actually the fourth. My sister took on so many hours of my care, sent out and about to push me to sleep in my pram, she tells me, though she was only 12, even walking me to the postnatal clinic for my regular weigh-ins, which surely rose some eyebrows but I will never know how many.
Experientially, all of this felt like I was a bother…and if I bothered people, they really didn’t like it, and it only drew the wrong kind of attention to me, so I quickly learned to be quiet as a mouse, very still, unopinionated, complicit and quiet, withdrawing inside and pretending to be alright and self-contained when I wasn’t really. Any needs that I had got pushed deep inside. In particular, tactile needs I didn’t even know I was missing, since I didn’t even know what it felt like to be cradled and rocked, to be soothed and hugged, swooped up and nestled under a parental arm, got lost down the cracks…to resurface later as sensory deficits, an inability to know where I end and others start, to self-soothe effectively (except, ironically, learning how to self-soothe has become the obsession of my adult life…since, to me, its not inbuilt or automatic so I have to constantly work at it).
Such life skills as a clear sense of self and self-soothing skills have now been proven to derive from those crucial early years of parental contact. Children don’t just parent themselves to adulthood, so offering food, warmth and shelter simply isn’t enough all by itself and there are solid reasons why skin-to skin contact is a total gamechanger in how a person develops in order to thrive for the rest of their lives, promoting development of physiological systems involved in regulating emotions and stress responses (studies have shown). The western habit of putting newborns into plastic cribs away from their mother in those first few hours after delivery is now known to create havoc with the nervous system and immunity of the child and is one of the main reasons I researched same-bed nursing when my daughter was born (when most new parents I knew were making Gina Ford’s “Contented Little Baby Book”, 1999, with its almost brutally strict regimes, into their baby-rearing bible, I was diving on Deborah Jackson’s recently published “Three In a Bed”, 1999 and throwing all that regimen out the window before I even started). In the hospital, I made sure to have a private room and held her close under my arm in bed whenever the nurses weren’t around, even as I dozed (strictly forbidden!), scanning for their footsteps so I could sit up or put her back in her cot when I heard them coming.
I now consider that my various maverick parenting methods, along these lines (including long term breast-feeding and same bed sleeping until she was ready to move to a cot) have proven to be so important as to have bucked a long family trend of hypersensitivity because, even though we are so similar in other neurodivergent ways, she does not demonstrate my sensory defensiveness at all, loves physical contact and is far more confident and outgoing. She’s able to follow her dreams and aspirations whereas mine were crushed out of me by the steady compression of feeling “too much” everywhere I turned.
Without the learned awareness of physical demarcation that comes from regular contact with “other” the child’s sense of where their own body ends and another begins is left vague, abitrary and wide-open to abuse. All my life, I have tended to scoop everyone else’s problems and sensations into my own, perhaps because it proved so requisite for me to scan the room, constantly, as a child in order to premept everyone else’s moods and needs to safeguard my own survival…I simply had to have that advance warning because I was just so affected by everyone else around me…and now I just don’t know how to stop. Whenever I am in proximity to other people, I feel everything, even things others don’t seem to realise about themselves and its like an onslaught of highly affecting, eratic energy currents leaving me exhausted and triggered to hell, unless I pull hard-earned tactics out of the bag and use them diligently. For other people, the ability to filter these effects seems to be inbuilt!
That tendency to pull deep inside myself, to regard the inner plunge into the depths as the only effective barrier I have, leads to hyperfocus and even OCD-like behaviours that take me over, all the-more, in proportion to how much I am feeling triggered by environmental factors, not just from people but from all manner of sensory details that I pick up on (light, sound, smells, sensations such as fabrics and clothing labels really irritating me, unseen influencers such as EMFs and air pressure changes, etc) that other people effectively filter out as though they are simply not there. Instead, I register it all and so I distract myself with fixating on other things, withdrawing more and more into myself; a trait that began in early childhood.
The thing is, at the surface of my childhood, I was quite alright as I was being circumstantially held, so very well. My family home was a safe, well-fed, warm and light, encouraging, generally benificent place to be, at that surface. People commented that they liked to visit as there was an unconventional level of bon viveur and wit, and always something going on when everyone was home. We loved, though fiercely in my mother’s case, undemonstrably and cerebrally (as in, with our minds and a kind of “given” familial loyalty) but with very few physical gestures or words of love, and that continues to this day. Even variable facial expressions are muted, to a very high extent. Yet I knew I was loved, my circumstances all told me so.
However, whilst being held circumstantially is a great adjunct to being held physically it is no substitution; there needs to be both (at least for the younger child; until they develop the inner systems to take over from the parent). Nor can you treat a much younger child the same as older siblings, assuming them to be independent and “alright” when they are being particularly quiet or withdrawn, or perhaps not wanting to bestow more time on one than the others, which often felt like the case, as though my parents were unable to spread themselves across the two age-groups at once (not my fault there was a sizable age gap…and I possibly confounded them by quickly learning to act much older than my years).
Because of this constant assumption that I was more alright than I was, I attached to routine circumstances more than I did to people, running home to the comforting sense of familiarity (and to music, books, drawing and other stims) more so than to tell an adult about my toughest days at school (usually because of my neurodiversity) whilst continuing to feel very alone and necessarily self-contained in my childhood. These were my circumstances and they held water for me, for a long time, so I got through alright to the point of my late teens, slipping under the wire of people’s attention. However, the thing with circumstances is, they’re unreliable and they inevitably change; they can never guarantee to see you into the future, in the same way as important lifeskills such as good boundary setting and an ability to self-soothe or modulate overwhelming emotions and responses (learned at that very-deep level that becomes hardwired into the infant from the crucial “early years” experiences their frequent contact with others affords them). A child can’t learn and hold onto a circumstance the same way that they can learn, and internalise, touch and the resultant sense of selfhood and personal integrity that can only come from those early days and nights of frequent contact, skin to skin, heartbeat to heartbeat and all the crucual, inherently developmental, movement that comes from cradling and carrying, hugging and caressing. The circumstance, like the parent, will one day cease to exist; the difference being that those key lifeskills wordlessly taught by the parent to the child, through contact, will stay with them all their life, whereas the circumstance will not!
When a sense of self and safety derives from a particular set of circumstances, you fall apart when those circumstances inevitably dissolve. When that happens (called “growing up”) it feels as though a top layer of skin gets stripped away and you’re left utterly exposed to all of “the new”. Transitions, in general, become perilous to your precarious nervous system. So you come to obsess about domestic routines and safe environments, about continuity and predictability, fearing that they might disappear as much as another person might fear being flayed-alive, because those very structures have become your “skin” in a world with no barriers.
So you also obsess about recreating versions of your childhood, with an oddly-persistent brand of nostalgia, even though that childhood was “less than” in some pretty crucial ways, because it was the only real “parent” you ever knew, having become the blueprint of your sense of “being held” in the world. When I’m anxious or stressed, I routinely self-sooth by listening to the music of my childhood decade. Looking back to when my mother died, I see how I grieved the loss of the family home and its sense of being an anchor to my psyche as much as I grieved her not being there anymore and, to be honest, I have felt unanchored ever since (a lot of my health issues emerged from that point). People who knew me assumed I must have had a spectacular childhood to grieve so much when, the reality was, I was simply clinging onto it (still do!) because, deep down, I sense the answer to my riddle lies hidden in there. I’m still scouring that childhood mystery, seeking to find and plug all the holes and gaps where my sense of intrinsic wellness and safety started to leak at a very young age…and still continue to fall out, as though I have been a walking sieve all my life. What made so many holes? How does this relate to chronic illness?
This isn’t about my family: patterns of behaviour perpetuate across the generations, people do the best they can with the circumstances they are presented with (I wasn’t a planned baby), neurodiversity certainly plays a part if parents themselves aren’t tactile or demonstrative and prefer to show love through acts of service. If I, myself, was also born with neurodiverse traits and with particularly high sensitivity, both of which are known to be genetic as well as environmentally impacted (prenatal or birth influences and trauma can also play a part) then how much did I bristle to be held, or touched in certain ways that didn’t feel right to my particular sensitivites, perhaps by other children too young to manhandle me so much? Did I push away, arch my back, detering cuddles that might otherwise have happened? Yet, as is still the case for me, sometimes when I am bristling with discomfort the most, the very thing that I need most is a good, firm, hug…the kind that envelops and squeezes without tickling or fuss…just, simply, providing a sense of being contained and held reliably, with strength and no demands (reading about autistic researcher Temple Grandin’s self-invented “squeeze machine” was a revelation to me on this topic because I can certainly relate). These days, my husband provides those kind of firm hugs for me but it took me a long time to realise how much I need them, and how to ask for them whenever they become urgent (and if I forget to ask and they don’t happen for a while, I hurtle more and more deeply into the sensory overwhelm). If my parents didn’t know that, how easy would it have been for them to have gone awry with me, not realising how much it affected and deprived me of what I most needed when they thought I just needed to be left alone? Autism doesn’t come with instruction lables (and they had no idea I was autistic with special needs)!
To be clear, there’s no blame, no emotional trauma, no bitterness in me about the way I was reared and, if anything, I feel more fiercely appreciative and at peace about it, emotionally and cerebrally, than I ever did as I see it for what it was; the very best intentions gone awry. The neccessity, here, isn’t to dwell in the past but to bring my nervous system up to speed with developmental milestones missed along the way so that, while I appear to be a fully-functional adult of several decades experience and a full and active life behind me, I live with sensory defecits that make my life seem impractical, unfeasible and, at times, almost unbearable.
My topic, here, isn’t all that ancient history…its about figuring out how I got here, living now with what I finally realise to be so much more than just an off-the-peg sensory processing disorder. What I actually have going on here, in a life where I am so very sensitive to everything (lights, smells, EMFs, chemicals, people, noise, fabrics, unseen forces…) is full-on sensory defensiveness, or Sensory Defensiveness Disorder, a brand-new concept to me as of the last few days, though I’ve been edging closer year by year as I’ve played tirelessly with the topics of sensitivity, of “touch”, “triggers” and “traumas”, in this blog). Its proving to be one hell of a massive epiphany as I inch through Sharon Heller’s book “Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight: What To Do If You Are Sensory Defensive in an Overstimulating World” 2014, making note of all the ways I can start to unpick the effects in my own body. The way we were reared is not the only presumed factor in how we develop this disorder. Whilst prenatal or birth trauma can also have an effect and genetics probably come into it, its a disorder that can arise as a result of later-life emotional trauma, injury, prolongued stress, post-viral or post-operative disruption, toxic exposures, even hormone imbalance, menopause and the general aging process. In my case, I can trace how the effects amped up to a whole other level each time one of these afronts occured in my life (I have been through them all at different times) and then seemed to stay at this new plateau of pain and sensitivity with each amp-up, in a way that suggests permanence.
Yet, the book is quite clear, no one is too old to benefit from some permanently positive changes in their sensitivity levels using some of the suggested methods, as part of a personalised sensory diet used to retrain the nervous system. Just as I have been using the Gupta Program to retrain my brain from its loops of behaviour relating to pain and fatigue, this protocol takes matters a step deeper for me, as a sensory sensitive, regarding the ingrained sensory defensiveness that determines just so many of my experiences (tripwiring me, constantly, back into chronic health issues). Whilst its important to retrain the brain in these cases, tackling the nervous system goes one step deeper into problems of this magnitude and there are sensory exposures, such as firm touch, vestibular exercises, movement and light therapy (tactics beyond the present scope of the Gupta Program), that need to be integrated into daily routines in order to tackle this degree of sensory disorder. Coming to understand your own sensory defensiveness traits, if indeed you have them, is an essential part of the process and these weeks of recognising mine, parallel with reading the book (also exploring the territory of sensory overexcitabiities, topic of a prior post) have been nothing short of cathartic.
In a sense, this post is just an introduction to more that will be coming on this topic as I get deeper into the territory but, if any of these experiences sounds familiar, I strongly recommend you get your hands on a copy of Sharon Heller’s brilliant book (which, ironically, has been on my reading list for such a long time…and it took my first proper holiday in three years for me to pick it up at the perfect time to feel into it, given my sensory triggors were rather different for those few days, due to the change in circumstances, enabling me to see them more objectively). I have returned from holiday, though I have yet to finish reading the book, quite determined and renewed in my optimism to tackle my sensory overwhelm using most of the methods, some of which I find I have been quite-instinctively drawn to before (such as dance movement, a version of skin brushing though now I am following the recommended Wilbarger method, key dietary changes, vitamin B therapy and qigong) but now I have far more data and context to go on as I develop a far more targetted and structured approach. My new sensory diet is already underway, paced throughout the day with (importantly) all the full commitment I can give to it, and I will report back over the coming weeks.

The Poetry of Emily Dickinson is a collection of pieces by 19th-century American poet Emily Dickinson, who insisted that her life of isolation gave her an introspective and deep connection with the world. As a result, her work parallels her life—misunderstood in its time, but full of depth and imagination, and covering such universal themes.
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born in in Amherst Massachusetts. Rightly regarded as a major American poet, her life was sheltered, introverted, and reclusive. Despite writing over poems, only a dozen or so were published during her lifetime. Her structures and wordings are at times difficu.
Miller established her reputation as a foremost scholar of Emily Dickinson with the publication in of Emily Dickinson: A Poet's Grammar. Martha Nell Smith reviewed the book enthusiastically, calling Miller an "exciting reader" of Dickinson with "close and thoughtful interpretation" and a view of the poems as "communicative, not solipsistic.

She dismissed it in a letter to Thomas Wentworth Higginson inwriting, ''You speak of Mr.
Whitman—I never read his book—but was told that he was disgraceful.''.

Although Sherine Abdel Wahab Al Ghani’s concert in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, did not record any controversial behavior, contrary to her custom, Sherine raised the public’s concern about her health during her appearance at the ceremony for two reasons. Strikingly overloaded.
Sherine Abdel Wahab sings in a chair
“Aarabia” aired a video clip of Sherine Abdel Wahab as she asked the party organizers to sit in a chair while singing, after she felt a sudden tiredness, which forced her to sit.
Sherine apologized to the audience for this request half an hour after the start of her concert, saying: “Sorry for the first time I did it in my life,” but she was encouraged and applauded by the audience, and she apologized to them if her voice appeared a little different.
Sitting on a chair was not the only one that worried the public about her health, but the Egyptian artist appeared with a clear weight increase during her wearing a silver dress decorated with glittering sequin beads.
Sherine Abdel Wahab appears overweight
Sherine appeared that she had gained some kilograms in her strength, but she had previously revealed that she used cortisone after her last operation, which caused the body to retain water, noting that this is the secret of increasing her weight.
The actress Sherine Abdel Wahab announced that she underwent a difficult operation in the abdominal area during the last period, and was the reason for her distancing from the lyric scene, stressing that it is difficult to sing in this case, but the people’s love made her forget her pain.
Sherine Abdel Wahab prepares for her new album
In another context, Sherine Abdel Wahab continues her preparations to record new songs with the composer Mohamed Rahim, to include her in her new album due to be released in 2020.


In a bid to strengthen the South West’s circular economy and to tackle throwaway culture, a leading waste management and recycling company has invested £290,000 in machinery and facilities at its specialist plastics reprocessing centre.
DCW, the Zero to Landfill firm based in Exeter, has introduced a new 10,000ltr fountain blender, an extruder machine and a mezzanine to its Marsh Barton plastics recycling and reprocessing plant, DCW Polymers. Together, the machinery will increase production of DCW’s recycled plastic furniture range by 400% and create eight new jobs.
Waste plastics collected from businesses across the South West are taken to DCW Polymers where they are shredded into plastic granules by the new extruder. This material then goes back into the manufacturing process. The extruder, purchased from Boston Matthews in Worcester, allows DCW’s team of plastic recycling experts to process five times more plastic waste, improving productivity and keeping as much of the region’s plastic waste as possible away from landfill.
The fountain blender can blend approximately four tonnes of recycled granulated plastic at any one time. It provides a mix of material and colour suitable for the manufacturing of DCW’s recycled garden range which includes benches, dining sets, tables, chairs, fencing, decking and dog agility equipment.
To complement the new machinery, the family-run firm has invested £60,000 to build a new mezzanine which has increased the square footage of DCW Polymers by 2,880 sq ft. The extra floor provides further storage space for DCW’s recycled garden range, ensuring that products can be ready to meet the growing customer demand.
Simon Almond, DCW Managing Director, said: “We’re passionate about achieving a more circular economy in the South West. Circular economies are vital to have in place if we are to win the fight against climate change as they lower carbon emissions, reduce the use of non-renewable resources and ensure that waste is kept away from landfill sites. We’re proud of how DCW Polymers is already contributing to our region’s circular economy with our recycled garden furniture range and our recent investment will continue to drive our growth in this area.
“It’s important to us that we support the UK manufacturing industry and we were pleased to source our new extruder machine from Worcester based Boston Matthews. Our new machinery allows us to scale up production to meet the growing demand for sustainable, durable outdoor furniture which isn’t detrimental to the environment.”

"Merci" Julie Nutting and a cup of tea with Canvas Corp Brands and Wendy Vecchi enamel accents
This stamp set is adorable. It is by Julie Nutting. It is called "Merci"
I have not had the time to play with my small selection of stamps by Julie Nutting and this was interesting and fun.
I used a "medium" size tag I sell in my Etsy store. They are coffee stained. I placed the medium tag on a standard size tag which I covered with lace.
I used Wendy Vecchi "Cactus Flower" enamel accents. Oh my gosh I love this product. Bonjour!
The tea cup came from a set of three from Canvas Corp Brands.
I added a stamp from recollections sticker set.
That's it. Merry Christmas,

|Minimum Stay||5 nights|
Our main cabin and guest cabin have been in the family for over 60 years. This is the home we hope to retire to when the time comes. We love the deck, the wildlfe, the fishing, the great views, the wonderful lake, all the lake activities and the true 'Up North' feel. The main cabin can sleep up to 6 adults and the small guest cabin can sleep 4 adults. There are several fold out couches for kids if necessary. The guest cabin is only rented in conjunction with the main cabin.
Park Rapids and Bemidji and Walker are all within 22 miles of the cabin and everything from fine dining to golf to live theater is available in the area.
Relax on the large deck.
Keywords: cabin, lakeshore, Lake George MN, north of Park Rapids, right on the lake
Mary and I live in the Twin Cities and Mary has been coming up to the cabin every year of her life. We bought the property from her Mom and Dad who purchased it back in 1950. Over the years we have made many improvements and now it has become more of a home than a cabin.
The Owner purchased this cabin in 1950
Our 'cabin' has been in the family for over 60 years and we have finally decided to rent it out over the summer. This is definitely a home to us, and our children and grandchildren love it.
We love to walk in the woods, walk to Camp Courage and see the facilities, watch the sunsets from the deck and also enjoy the firepit toasting marshmallows and making smores. Golfing at the great courses that surround us in every direction, fishing topwater baits for northerns and largemouth bass, casting from the dock at dawn and dusk, a wood fire in the fireplace in the evening, this is what we look forward to every time we are up at the lake.
What an awesome vacation site. The spacious deck faces the lake, and the western sunsets are gorgeous. The firepit is especially great for singing around the campfire and making smores. The kitchen (fully equipped with modern appliances) was fabulous, and having a washer and dryer saved trips to the laundromat during our two week stay. We also appreciated the walk-in-shower and slight slope from house to dock that made it easily accessible for the seniors in our group. The 13 pound northern that my son caught was the highlight of the fishing experience. The fireplace was delightful in the cool of the September evenings. We had a vacation full of valuable memories.
Vacation home as described - well maintained, owner was more than helpful. Exactly what we were looking for. Perfect for the little ones as well as the die hard fishermen. Not far from any kind of activity you might want in either Bemidji or Park Rapids. Highly recommend, and we definitely hope to go again!

Dwyane Wade will play for the Miami Heat when they host the San Antonio Spurs Sunday, the Heat's star shooting guard told reporters prior to the game. Wade has been out since Jan. 17, missing four games as he deals with minor knee injuries. Wade will not start, however, and the team has listed Ray Allen in the starting five.
Head coach Erik Spoelstra has paced Wade through the season, resting him early and often. Wade's already sat out 13 games this season, often cited as a day of "rest" as the Heat work toward their fourth-straight trip to the NBA Finals.
Wade's knees have been an issue for him for years. He underwent shock therapy over the summer to alleviate knee pain, but it remains a chronic problem. He's still the Heat's second-leading scorer despite the knee problems, averaging 18.9 points per game while shooting a career-high 54 percent from the field.


A novel reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the determination of Esomeprazole capsules. The method was found to be simple, precise and accurate. The method involved a mobile phase comprising of Glycine(0.05M) buffer (PH 9+0.05) and Acetonitrile (70:30v/v) and a X-BRIDGE- 250*4.6, 5μ, C8 (4.6 X 250, 5μ) column. The flow rate was maintained at 1.8 ml/min and the detection was done at 305 nm. The retention time was found to be 3.9 mins. The method was found to be linear in the concentration range of 30- 180ppm. The analytical method was validated according to ICH guidelines (ICH Q2b). The correlation coefficient (r2) was found to be 0.9996, % recovery was 98.7-100.8% and %RSD for precision on replicate injection was 0.6 and intermediate precision for intraday precision at condition-I and II was 0.1, 0.34 and interday precision was 0.13% respectively. The precision study was precise, robust, and repeatable. LOD value was and LOQ value was. The developed method was validated by performing validation parameters like linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity and robustness. The method was found to be reliable for the determination of Esomeprazole in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Last year, four Bollywood directors joined hands to come up with Lust Stories which focussed on women and their sexual feeling. The film which starred Kiara Advani, Radhika Apte and several others received a lot of flak. We had earlier reported that this film is being remade in Telugu. Now, we hear that Tamil actress Amala Paul has roped in as a heroine in the film. She will feature in the first segment which is under the direction of Nandini Reddy, who tasted success with Oh Baby. This segment will also feature Jagapathi Babu in an important role.
Amala Paul’s last movie Aadai (Aame in Telugu) embroiled in controversy as the actress went naked for the film. Though there is no scene that made the audience squirm, the film generated a lot of buzz.
After Aadai, it is Amala Paul’s bold choice to do this film. The remaining segments of the film will have Tharun Bhascker, Sandeep Reddy and Sankalp Reddy at the helm.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services says the number of deaths statewide is now 1,281, up by 205 from the day before. The increase in both cases and deaths from Thursday to Friday was larger than the increase from Wednesday to Thursday. Between Wednesday and Thursday, there were 1,158 new cases of COVID-19 statewide, and 117 new deaths. In Berrien County, the number of cases is up to 88 from 80 on Thursday. The county has had two deaths total. Cass County’s number of cases was reported as 12 for Friday, compared to 10 the day before. Van Buren County is up to 20 from 18 on Thursday. Cass and Van Buren counties have each had one COVID-19 death.


Xiaomi is reported to have delayed a product launch which would see it move into a new product category, as it separately ran into problems in Africa.
According to DigiTimes, the company will delay the launch of its first notebook computer into the second quarter of 2016, as it looks to “fine tune” its strategy. It will also launch a single Windows 10-powered, 12.5-inch screen device, rather than two models as originally planned.
The extra time will also allow Xiaomi to establish retail and aftersales capabilities.
In Nigeria, Xiaomi and its distributors have been on the receiving end of an injunction from “the first African mobile devices brand”, Mi-Fone.
The African player said that it is “holder of the Mi registered trademarks in Nigeria and across Africa”, bringing it into conflict with Xiaomi, which uses the Mi name for its products.
Alpesh Patel, founder of Mi-Fone, said: “One should always do proper research before entering new markets.”
After a period of strong growth – when it appeared Xiaomi could do no wrong – the company is now facing more challenges as it looks to diversify its business geographically and across product categories.
Its arrival into the Indian market, for example, was met with a patent complaint from Ericsson.
And this comes against a backdrop of concern about slowed growth in the company’s home market, where the lion’s share of its device shipments come from.

My suggestion is to not use NDISwrapper, and instead use the Linux b43 driver. It is present in the 2.6.18 kernel, but it may not be compiled into it. Try this command, as root.
Broadcom cards need firmware that is loaded, before the card will work. because the firmware is considered 'proprietary', Linux distros don't include it. Some make it very easy, like Ubuntu and Mint. Here is some info on that.

Looking at our Libraries: Collier school district partners with libraries to stop the ‘summer slide’
It is my firm belief that those who are reading this article are library fans. And you are library fans because you like to read. Some of you read mostly fiction, with perhaps a favorite sub-category like sci-fi or thrillers.
Others, however, might have a favorite author, like Adriana Trigiani, the only author invited to make a second appearance in the 13-year history of our Friends of the Library Nick Linn Lecture Series.
Then there are the biography specialists who devour the life stories of present and past-day leaders. I tend to read mostly non-fiction on a wide range of subjects.
We love books, both those on paper and the electronic ones which more and more library card holders are downloading via OverDrive from our library website, www.collierlibrary.org.
We have been readers for years, from childhood, when someone (a parent, sibling, favorite aunt or neighbor or teacher) got the message across that books and reading were important and fun. It would widen our world.
But because of the structure of most schooling, all of the focus on reading and learning can be sabotaged by that eight or so week hiatus in the summer without reading practice, especially for those students who struggle with reading. The Florida Education Association calls it the summer slide/brain drain and has lots of good information. Go to www.FEAWeb.org/Stop-the-summer-slide.
To address this issue locally, the Collier County Public Library has formed a partnership with Collier County Schools to enhance literacy. It will work with teachers to create age-appropriate summer reading lists. They will make it convenient for children and parents to get their hands on fun reading materials. As part of the library's annual summer reading program, there will be incentives and prizes.
Another goal of the collaboration is kindergarten readiness. For this, they will create programming to prepare youngsters for school and give parents and grandparents the skills they need to teach their kids the alphabet and garner a love of books.
Library staff will attend workshops alongside educators to learn current best practices in building literacy confidence as well as letter and sound recognition.
Once the initiatives for 2- through 5-year-olds are launched, both the public school and the library systems will explore creating programs to enhance reading comprehension and vocabulary building.
We already have 'Story Times' at all locations except the very small Everglades City branch. And steps will be taken to make the Story Times more meaningful.
The final news I got from Library Director Val Kocin, is that the library system will be promoting Collier County's Transit PAW Pass to encourage young folks to visit the libraries and participate in the Summer Reading Program. This is a three-month pass for $30 where kids, aged 17 and under, can ride as many times as they want over the summer; children under 5 years ride free.
'We want to encourage them to use the bus as an alternative means for getting to the library,' she said.
The pass will be usable from June 1 to August 31. How great is that.
