FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - FEBRUARY 27, 2009
DURANGO, Colo. – The Brewers Association, which tabulates industry growth data for U.S. breweries, has announced that small, independent craft brewers are gaining alcohol market share due to a shift toward full flavor beer and an increasing support for homegrown, “local” breweries.
Locally, this trend is reflected in the continued strength of Durango’s four breweries. Specifically at Steamworks Brewing Co., the award-winning craft brewer posted a 32 percent increase in sales in its wholesale beer business in 2008.“Steamworks is very pleased with the continued increased appreciation of craft beer,” said Kris Oyler, Steamworks CEO. “From the Brewers Association’s statistics, it appears beer from small, independent breweries is in demand and that is certainly positive for the beer industry in general. While Steamworks had a good year in 2008, we’re hoping for even greater growth in 2009.”
Steamworks has been distributing its award-winning beers throughout Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas for several years, adding the Minneapolis, Minnesota area in 2008. Recently, the brewery shipped beer to new markets in Wisconsin, Virginia and Pennsylvania, and negotiations are underway in additional states. Liquor laws require breweries to secure independent distributors within each state or territory they enter.
Overall in the industry, from 2007 to 2008 estimated sales by craft brewers were up 5.8 percent by volume and 10.5 percent in dollars. Craft brewers also captured 4 percent of production and 6.3 percent of retail sales within the industry category. More than 1 million new barrels of beer were sold in 2008, and close to half of those barrels were beer from craft brewers.
"2008 was a historic year for beer with the large brewers consolidating and imports losing share, while the top ten selling beer brands dropped in sales. At the same time, small independent craft brewers continued to gain share and attention," said Paul Gatza, Director of the Brewers Association.
With total U.S. beer being more than a $100 billion industry, the Brewers Association estimates the actual dollar sales from craft brewers in 2008 were $6.34 billion, up from $5.74 billion in 2007. Taxable barrels of the total beer category was 1,210,018 more in 2008 with craft brewers producing 473,364 of those barrels. Total craft brewer barrels for 2008 was 8,596,971, up from 8,123,607 barrels in 2007.
Beer's popularity as America's favorite fermented beverage continued in 2008 with Gallup stating "beer is back to a double-digit lead over wine." Taking into account the challenges in today's economy, BevincoNielsen released a survey showing beer was faring better than spirits, with wine lagging. The Brewers Association emphasized trading across from wine and spirits to beer continues, with some of today's wine drinkers discovering the affordable enjoyment and rewards of craft beer.
These increases in share and barrels for craft brewers come at a time when, according to the Brewers Association, the cost of operating a small brewery increased in excess of 39 percent in the period of November 2007 to November 2008. The Brewers Association states that today's craft brewers face many challenges including, access to ingredients and raw materials, increased pricing for materials and supplies and access to market (competition for shelf space at the retail level).
“Access to market is one of the issues the craft brewers in Colorado are currently facing with HB1192 making its way through the legislature,” said Oyler, referencing the bill that would allow grocery and convenience stores to carry full-strength beer. “Given how these larger stores are supplied, the bill’s passage will favor the large breweries and greatly limit the shelf-space available to craft beers.”
For exact statistics visit http://www.beertown.org/craftbrewing/statistics.html. A more extensive analysis will be released April 22 during the Craft Brewers Conference in Boston, Mass. The Association's full 2008 industry analysis, which shows regional trends and sales by individual brewery, will be published in the May/June issue of The New Brewer.
Steamworks Brewing Co. – Durango’s “2005 Business of the Year” – is located at 801 E. Second. Ave., Durango (970.259.9200), and 442 Wolverine Drive in Bayfield Center, Bayfield (970.884.7837). For further information, visit www.steamworksbrewing.com.
# # #
The definition of craft beer as stated by the Brewers Association: An American craft brewer is small, independent and traditional. Craft beer comes only from a craft brewer. Small = annual production of beer less than 2 million barrels. Beer production is attributed to a brewer according to the rules of alternating proprietorships. Flavored malt beverages are not considered beer for purposes of this definition. Independent = Less than 25% of the craft brewery is owned or controlled (or equivalent economic interest) by an alcoholic beverage industry member who is not themselves a craft brewer. Traditional = A brewer who has either an all malt flagship (the beer which represents the greatest volume among that brewers brands) or has at least 50% of its volume in either all malt beers or in beers which use adjuncts to enhance rather than lighten flavor.

One Controversy Could Hurt Apple's TV Debut
Apple is encountering a major obstacle in developing its first television set.
What should it be called?
The obvious assumption is “Apple TV,” but that name has already been used in promoting the company's set-top device that enables users to stream iTunes videos on their existing television sets.
The leading alternative is one that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has had its eye on for quite some time: iTV. Following in the footsteps of the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, the iTV name would allow Apple to continue the iDevice legacy, and produce a strong brand for the TV worldwide.
There's just one catch: Apple does not yet own the “iTV” brand. While it could release a TV set in North America under that name without issue, the ITV moniker currently belongs to England's largest commercial broadcaster. According to The Telegraph (via Mac Rumors), ITV has once again warned Apple that it should not use its name when launching any new products.
ITV's concerns started several years ago when Apple contemplated the name of its set-top box. At the time, the iPhone creator wanted to call it iTV. Whether Apple gave in to ITV threats or not, the company ultimately decided to sell the product as Apple TV. Now, thanks to a plethora of rumors that are (perhaps inaccurately) branding Apple's first television as iTV, the aforementioned commercial broadcaster is getting concerned.
But is ITV worried for nothing? Apple historically prefers to provide each of its devices with short and catchy names that can be used all over the world. England may not be Apple's biggest market, but it is certainly a key region. Thus, it seems very unlikely that the company would attempt to apply the iTV moniker in some regions and come up with an entirely different name for the TV when it arrives in England.
Will Apple attempt to use the name without ITV's permission? Probably not. Apple can be a stubborn company, but it's not stupid. Analysts agree that in order for Apple's television to be successful, it must have great content. Apple won't be able to pull that off by shunning key broadcasters.
This, however, could leave a big gap in Apple's strategy. If it can't use the iTV name, how will it brand its new TV? The company could utilize the name of its set-top box and slowly train consumers to associate Apple TV with its television set, not its hockey puck-sized video player. But that may not be the most effective way to brand something that should, by all accounts, be an entirely new product.
Apple could go another route and call it a Mac TV, but that's not likely. While the Mac name is strong, it is not as powerful as the iPhone or iPod brands, nor would it have the same impact that the simplistic Apple TV moniker could have. Further, by calling it Mac TV, people may associate the brand with Macintosh computers and perceive it as an extension of that brand. This could hurt the television, first because people may only see it as a giant computer, and second because it could turn off Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) loyalists who insist on using Windows PCs. Those loyalists do use iPods and iPads, however. They might not admit it, but they definitely use them, and would be potential customers for an Apple-designed TV.
From a branding standpoint, this might make iTV sound like the best option. But does Apple really need to use a familiar name to promote its first television?
The iPod name wasn't successful because people loved the iMac; it was a hit because the device just happened to be the best MP3 player on the market. For many Apple loyalists, the iPod was a gateway drug. It served as the device that sparked a lifelong addiction to Apple products. And when those iPod users finally broke down and bought a Mac, what did they get? They bought a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, of course, reducing the relevancy of the iMac name.
Thus, it isn't necessary for Apple to refer to its television set as iTV or even Apple TV. Though it wouldn't be wise for the company to use a name as silly as Bravia – the brand Sony (NYSE: SNE) applied to its most recent HDTVs – Apple could probably get away with using almost any title in the world.
And if the TV is good enough, consumers will quickly take notice, creating another success story – and another world-renowned brand – for Apple.

Is Microsoft using Linux to stream audio/video for MSN?
Author: JT Smith
Dorkus123 writes, "While reading news over at CNet I came across a story about Microsoft signing a deal with Scale Eight for services to MSN. Those services include streaming video, audio and storing photos for MSN customers. After some digging around on the web I found a ZDNet article that says, 'Scale Eight runs proprietary software that manages data stored across an array of standard Intel-architecture servers running Linux.' It seems Microsoft maybe more reliant on Open Source software (link to The Register) for their online services than they care to admit."

COLUMBUS, Ohio - As days with extreme heat coupled with drought conditions have dominated the weather statewide in recent weeks, growers have begun to ask themselves just how hot is too hot for corn and soybeans?
While corn originated as a tropical grass and can tolerate exposures to temperature extremes as high as 112 degrees for brief periods, the optimal daytime temperatures for corn typically range between 77 degrees and 91 degrees, said Peter Thomison, an Ohio State University Extension agronomist.
When temperatures rise above 95 degrees, corn growth decreases, he said.
"When temperatures hit between 93 degrees to 98 degrees for four days or more, you could start to experience yield losses in corn, but it also depends on the amount of moisture in the soil," Thomison said. "It's hard to separate high temperature effects on corn from effects of drought on corn because the two usually go hand in hand.
"It's really hit or miss right now because of very localized drought conditions, where you have a lot of people who are suffering while others may not be experiencing conditions that are as bad. This is a very critical period for corn."
Growers are extremely watchful of the weather now, considering that the majority of Ohio except for small portions of some counties near the Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania borders is experiencing moderate drought, with areas near the Indiana and Michigan borders experiencing severe drought as of July 31, according to the most recent U.S. Drought Monitor.
And the weather outlook for the first couple of weeks of August call for above-normal temperatures, with periods of high heat throughout the state and below-normal rainfall in some places, and the potential for near-normal amounts of rainfall in other areas, according to Jim Noel of the National Weather Service.
Noel, whose weather updates are featured in the OSU Agronomics Crop Team's weekly C.O.R.N. (Crop Observation and Recommendation Network) Newsletter, said rainfall will average 0.25 to 1.00 inches through Aug. 5, with the normal range for the period at 0.75 to 1.00 inches.
The outlook for Aug. 6 to Aug. 12 calls for temperatures mostly between 85 to 95 degrees, with lows ranging from 65 to 72 degrees, he said. Rainfall will average 0.25 to 0.50 inches, which is below normal for the period, Noel said.
Soybeans, on the other hand, are a more temperate leguminous plant with an ideal daytime temperature of 85 degrees, said Laura Lindsey, an assistant professor of horticulture and crop science at Ohio State. When air temperatures exceed 85 degrees, soybeans can experience heat stress regardless of reproductive stage, she said.


To set up the FortiAP unit as a WiFi client, you must use the CLI. Before you do this, be sure to remove any AP WiFi configurations such as SSIDs, DHCP servers, policies, and so on.

Which statement is TRUE of the CSMA/CD Ethernet media access method?
- It requires centralized monitoring and control.
- It is ideal for a switched network environment.
- It uses a back-off algorithm to calculate a random time value.
- Each station is allotted a time slot in which they can transmit data.
The Carrier Sense Multiple Access – Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) method uses a back-off algorithm to calculate random times to transmit packets across a channel. When two stations start transmitting at same time, their signals will collide. The CSMA/CD method detects the collision and causes both stations to hold the retransmission for an amount of time determined by the back-off algorithm. This is done in an effort to ensure that the retransmitted frames do not collide.
CSMA/CD does not require centralized monitoring and control nor does it assign time slots to stations. Moreover, the CSMA/CD method is designed to work in non-switched environment. It is an alternative to a token-passing topology, in which each station waits in turn to receive a token that allows it to transmit data. With CSMA/CD, each station is capable of making the decision regarding when to transmit the data.

Can you Spray Bitter Apple Spray in Dogs Mouth? Bitter apple spray is a safe, eco-friendly product that can be used to stop dogs from chewing on anything they shouldn’t. It’s nontoxic and can be found easily at many pet stores.
To summarize what we’ve discussed so far, bitter apple spray works well to keep dogs from munching on anything other than what they’re supposed to chew on.
However, there are some considerations when using this product—which we’ll outline below—that you should take before applying it in case of any incident where the dog has accidentally bitten down into or ingested the substance without meaning to do so.
What is Bitter Apple Spray?
Dogs should not chew on anything they shouldn’t, so bitter apple spray is a good idea. You can use it by spraying it onto an object that the dog isn’t allowed near, or you can use it directly on the dog’s coat so they stay away from objects without being able to bite them.
The mixture contains many ingredients, such as erythorbic acid and potassium sorbate, both of which make anything coated in it taste extremely bitter—which will have your pet quivering with every attempt at licking it off!
Can You Spray Bitter Apple Spray in Dog’s Mouth?
Bitter apple spray is a common product used to deter dogs from chewing on objects. The spray is bitter-tasting and unpleasant for dogs, so it is applied to items that you don’t want your dog to chew. While the spray is generally safe, it can be dangerous if sprayed directly into a dog’s mouth. This can cause irritation, choking, and even poisoning.
It’s important to follow some guidelines before using bitter apple spray. First, only apply the spray to objects – not surfaces where your dog is allowed to chew. Second, don’t apply near the eyes or mouth. If you get the spray in your dog’s eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor. Finally, keep the product away from children and store in a cool, dry place.
By following these guidelines, you can use bitter apple spray safely to deter your dog from chewing on objects. Be sure to spray all objects that you don’t want your dog to chew, to ensure they stay away.
What Are the Best Ways to Use Bitter Apple Spray in a Dog’s Mouth?
After following the given guidelines and helpful tips for training dogs, now it’s time to apply bitter apple spray to your pup. Here are steps on how best to do so.
Step 1. Wait Until your Dog is Relaxed
It’s best not to spray bitter apple directly into your dog’s mouth while they’re chewing. Instead, try spraying their favourite chew toy instead if necessary.
Step 2. Observe Your Dog
Once your dog relaxes, let them explore the object (or chew on it) for a few minutes so they can get used to the taste of bitter apple spray. Your dog doesn’t like it if it jumps around and acts aggressively.
Obviously, that’s not a good idea for your dog, so stop spraying it in his mouth. . But if your dog likes the taste and acts normal after being sprayed or chewing on something, then go ahead without any worries about harming them.
Step 3. Use Bitter Apple spray to stop chewing by your dog
As pet owners, we all know how frustrating it can be when our furry friends start chewing on things they’re not supposed to. Whether it’s your favorite pair of shoes or the leg of the coffee table, it can be difficult to get them to stop. However, there is a product available that can help with this problem – bitter apple spray.
Bitter apple spray is a safe and effective way to deter your dog from chewing on things they shouldn’t. All you need to do is apply the spray to the areas where you don’t want them to chew and they will quickly learn that those items are off-limits. The bitter taste will deter them from chewing without causing any harm to them.
If your dog does try to chew on an item that has been treated with bitter apple spray, simply reapply the spray and they will quickly learn to avoid that item. With a little patience and consistency, you can use bitter apple spray to help train your dog not to chew on things they shouldn’t. Give it a try today and see the difference it can make in your home.
Do Bitter Apple Spray-Ons Have Side Effects?
Let’s take a look at some of the disadvantages of bitter apple spray in dogs, along with the perks.
Lips, tongue, gums, and roof of the mouth may be irritated by Bitter Apple Spray.
Difficult to Eat and Drink
If you give your dog something to eat or drink right after he has been sprayed in the mouth, he will find it difficult because of how bitter it tastes.
Over-spraying of mouth-washes to clean dogs’ teeth might lead them to choke; it could be dangerous for their health.
It is possible for your dog to experience reddening of their mucous membranes if you accidentally put this solution in their mouth or on their gums.
In rare cases, if a dog experiences dizziness, slurred speech, and loss of balance after being sprayed with the bitter apple solution in their mouth. It is imperative to take note of these possible side effects when using this product on dogs so they are properly cared for.
If a dog has an aversion to bitter apple spray, they may vomit when they are sprayed with it.
Alcohol is found in the bitter apple spray, which can result in diarrhea for dogs who are sensitive to its effects.
If your dog is a chewer, you may have wondered if bitter apple spray is effective in deterring them from chewing on inappropriate items. The answer to that question is yes, bitter apple spray can be an effective deterrent for dogs. However, it’s important to note that not all dogs respond the same way to the taste of the spray, so you may need to experiment with different brands or formulations until you find one that works best for your pet.
Additionally, always make sure to keep any bitter apple sprays out of reach of small children and pets who might accidentally ingest it. Have you ever used bitter apple spray on your dog? What was their reaction?
Do dog’s paws react to bitter apple spray?
Please don’t try to use bitter apple spray or any other type of deterrent on your dog’s paws. If you want the best chance at stopping him from licking them, call up a vet and ask for their advice!
Is Bitter Apple Spray safe for my dog’s bedding?
If you notice your dog chewing and scratching at its bed, it could be an issue with scent. You should try using bitter apple spray as long as the manufacturer allows this treatment for dogs (and make sure not to aim directly onto surfaces). The strong smell will discourage them from continuing their behavior since they cannot stand any form of flavor or fragrance!
How can I stop a dog from scratching with bitter apple spray?
There are many ways to stop your dog from scratching, but you can’t use bitter apple spray because it only discourages the pet from chewing things they’re not supposed to. Other options include anti-itch shampoo and oatmeal shampoos for irritated skin or an Itchy Dog!

Launching Sept 12, the new block is akin to what people are used to coming from places like LA or New York — cities that rarely sleep. As of right now, it will be the only place in Denver to get local this-n-thats late-night.
“I was raised in Colorado, but I’ve lived on the east and the west coasts,” says Holly Gauntt, vice president of News and Digital Content for KWGN, in a press release. “I know people on both are used to getting their news at 11 p.m.. With all of the people moving to Colorado, we want to give our viewers news when they’re used to getting it.”
Anything else, transplants? Maybe a mint? Posession of our dogs? Complete and abject submission to your every demand!?

(The Root) — To borrow a line from the movie Ray, when you “make it do what it do,” people will come out and show you love. And that’s exactly what happened for Jermaine Dupri during his So So Def 20th Anniversary Concert Saturday night at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta.
Dupri may not be as hot as he once was, but to overlook his contributions to the music industry would be erroneous. Reflecting on Dupri’s career, one may wander: Is there anyone this guy isn’t connected to?
Case in point: Dupri was clearly holding his own onstage while performing his 1998 hit “Money Ain’t a Thang” when, after a brief dramatic pause, pal and hip-hop mogul Jay-Z emerged from the shadows spitting his verses, sending an already hyped crowd into orbit.
The 40-year-old Dupri told The Root that when he released his 1998 debut album, Life in 1472, he wanted “Money Ain’t a Thang” to be the lead single, much to the chagrin of Columbia Records executives, who were somewhat unfamiliar with the song’s co-star, Jay-Z.
“The people at Columbia Records were like, ‘We think you should put out ‘Sweetheart’ [first] because Mariah’s a bigger star than Jay-Z,’ ” Dupri said. “Without me saying I saw the future, I saw the future of Jay-Z. I knew Jay-Z was going to be everything that he is today.”
That, of course, isn’t meant to take away any shine from pop queen Mariah Carey, who also took the stage to celebrate Dupri’s illustrious career. As a matter of fact, many who experienced the Dupri Midas touch turned out for him: Usher, Ludacris, Nelly, Young Jeezy, Monica, Lil Jon, T-Pain, Lil Scrappy, Pastor Troy and YoungBloodZ — and, of course, those currently or previously signed to Dupri’s So So Def Recordings label, like Kris Kross, Anthony Hamilton, Bow Wow, Da Brat, Bone Crusher, Dem Franchize Boyz, members from Xscape (now Scape), Dondria and J-Kwon.
“We had the opportunity to work with him early in our career, and with all of us being in Atlanta, we all supported each other,” Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas of platinum-selling TLC told The Root.
As with Thomas and Jay-Z, Dupri was present during the early stages of a pre-solo-career Beyoncé Knowles when Destiny’s Child was getting its start. He produced and was featured on the group’s single “With Me” and remixed a version of “Jumpin’, Jumpin’ ” with his artists Lil’ Bow Wow and Da Brat. Dupri’s father, Michael Mauldin, a former president of black music at Columbia Records, oversaw the signing of Destiny’s Child.
Dupri also produced Carey’s chart-topping comeback album The Emancipation of Mimi. Alicia Key’s first actual recording, “Little Drummer Girl,” was on Dupri’s 1996 Christmas album, 12 Soulful Nights of Christmas, he said. Before rapper and producer Lil Jon was telling everybody to “Get Low,” he was So So Def’s A&R go-to guy. And Dupri produced several Usher albums, including My Way (1997) and 8701 (2001), and was a primary producer for Confessions (2004), which sold more than 1 million copies in its first week.
While Dupri’s not one for celebratory observances, the death last year of music-industry exec Chris Lighty inspired him to do this anniversary event. “[It] hit me so hard that it made me realize, like, ‘Listen, I don’t know when I’ll get a chance to celebrate with everybody amongst everybody, and it feels right.’ So it’s like, I gotta do this now,” Dupri said.

Ally is a sweet, outgoing 3-year-old and the youngest in his family of three children. Ally’s mom shared that she is raising the children on her own and recently moved home so that Ally’s grandparents could help her care for him and his siblings. Ally’s grandparents are small-scale farmers, and his grandmother sells vegetables at the market. Ally was diagnosed with bilateral varus, a condition that causes the legs to turn inward. This condition is typically caused by an excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones, which often stems from contaminated drinking water. As a result, Ally experiences pain when standing and after a long day of play. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Ally receive treatment. On June 10th, he will undergo surgery to restore his mobility, allow him to participate in various activities, and significantly decrease his risk of future complications. AMH is requesting $880 to fund this procedure. Ally’s mother says, “With no job, there is no way I am going to get all the money needed. My parents are already doing so much to help and support my children and me.”
Elinipa is a beautiful two-year-old girl. She is an incredibly friendly child who loves to play with her five older siblings. At birth, she was a healthy child. It wasn't until she was learning to walk however, that her mother noticed that her legs were slightly curved, yet even so they did not seek treatment assuming it was a minor problem that she would outgrow. Elinipa has now been diagnosed with bilateral valgus, which is a condition caused by an excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones, which often stems from contaminated drinking water. As a result of her condition, Elinipa's legs bow inward to the point that her knees touch. This makes walking persistently more difficult as she continues to grow. Through our medical partner's outreach program her parents learned that their daughter needs surgery to correct her legs. Elinipa's parents are small scale famers who depend entirely on what they harvest to make a living. As a result, their income is not enough to afford to take Elinipa to the hospital to treat her condition. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $880 to fund corrective surgery for Elinipa. The procedure is scheduled to take place on May 13th at our medical partner's care center, Arusha Lutheran Medical Centre. With this treatment Elinipa's mobility will hopefully be restored, thus allowing her to participate in a variety of activities, and greatly decreasing her risk of future complications. Elinipa’s father says, “I am worried with how her legs continue to bend inward. Please help us.”
U Chit is a 42-year-old husband and father from Burma. He lives with his in-laws, wife and son. His father-in-law works as a day laborer, while his wife and his mother-in-law are homemakers. U Chit used to work with his father-in-law, and also as a motorcycle taxi driver for extra income. However, he stopped working in January when his health worsened. When schools reopen, his son will begin kindergarten. A little over a year ago, U Chit began experiencing dizziness, fatigue, tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing when he exerted himself. A month later, he visited a local clinic where he was diagnosed with high blood pressure. However, in December 2021, U Chit lost a lot of weight and experienced night sweats in addition to his other symptoms. He was diagnosed with aortic valve regurgitation, mitral valve regurgitation and tricuspid valve regurgitation, and was placed on a waiting list to receive surgery. Because his condition is severe, the doctor recommended that he undergo surgery as soon as possible. Fortunately, our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF), is helping U Chit access treatment. On April 8th, he will undergo mitral valve replacement surgery at BCMF's care center. After recovery, his symptoms should improve. Now, he needs help raising $1,500 to fund his procedure and care. U Chit shared, "I gave up and I was ready to die before. There are a lot of heart patients waiting to receiving surgery. Since I heard that I could have surgery with the help of donors, I feel like there is hope that I will survive. I have to look after my family because my son is still young. I will always remember everything the donors did for me."
Lionel is a charming five-month-old baby from Colombia. He was born near the northern coast and his parents are from Venezuela. After he was born, they moved to Medellin due to his father's job. Lionel was born with clubfoot of his right foot. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. This causes difficulty walking and wearing shoes as he grows older. Fortunately, Lionel's family traveled to visit our Medical Partner Clínica Noel where they can offer life-changing treatment. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on March 22nd. Our medical partner is requesting $1,422 to fund Lionel's clubfoot repair. After treatment, he will be able to learn how to walk and live a fully active life ahead. His father said: "I hope my little champion can get his surgery, I pray for his wellbeing. I just want his feet to be normal and hope to see him walking like any other child."
Naw Eh is a 18-year-old woman from who lives with her family in a refugee camp in Thailand. Naw Eh moved to the refugee camp in 2019 from across the Burma border with hope to continue her education as her village only offered primary school. In 2020, Naw Eh met and married her husband in the refugee camp. Unable to work currently, every month, Naw Eh's household receives 770 baht (approx. 26 USD) to meet their daily needs. In her free time, Naw Eh likes to embroider traditional Karen clothes which she sells to earn more for their family. Naw Eh is currently expecting her second child, and doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section (C-section) as Naw Eh was diagnosed with eclampsia. Eclampsia is a rare, but serious condition where high blood pressure results in seizures during pregnancy. The doctors at Mae Sariang Hospital believe a C-section will ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is helping Naw Eh undergo a C-section on February 10th. This procedure will cost $1,500, and Naw Eh is seeking support to fund this potentially life saving surgery for her and her baby. Naw Eh said: “I stopped weaving and embroidering clothes because my stomach is getting bigger making it hard to do. I am excited to have my second baby.”
Myo is 40-years-old and lives with his two sisters, two nephews, and two nieces in a village in Burma. He was a fisherman but stopped working when he started to experience problems on his left foot. As a result, his sisters support their household. One year ago, Myo noticed that his left big toe was itchy and swollen after he came home from fishing. Soon enough, it developed into an ulcer. Without enough money to go to a clinic or a hospital, he used traditional medicine and bought pain medicine to clean the infection. However, each time Myo would clean the ulcer, it would heal but returning a month later. Four months after he first developed the ulcer, the recurrent ulcer worsened until he could no longer walk without support from his sister. Eventually, he saved enough funds to visit a health clinic. When the ulcer still did not heal, he went to a second clinic and was referred to our medical partner's care center, Mawlamyine Christian Leprosy Hospital (MCLH). At MCLH, the doctor tried to first clean and treat the infection. When that did not work, the doctor told him that they would have to amputate his left big toe and referred Myo to our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF) for assistance accessing treatment. On January 13th, Myo will undergo treatment to amputate his left big toe so that his infection can finally be treated and not spread to other parts of his body. For the treatment, BCMF is requesting $1,500 to help cover the costs. Hopefully, he will be able to return to fishing and other activities he previously enjoyed soon. Myo is hopeful that things will be better after surgery and shared, "When I recover, I will find work and support my sisters’ families.”
Mu is a 17-year-old boy who lives with his sister in Mae Sot, Thailand. Before that, he lived with his parents, one older sister, two younger brothers and one younger sister in a refugee camp. His sister works at a non-governmental organisation helping others in need. Around mid-August, Mu woke up one morning with pain in his left knee. At first he thought that the pain would go away on its own and that it was nothing serious. However, when the pain remained a few days later, he told his sister about it. His sister bought him a type of Burmese pain reliever balm to apply on his knee. He applied the balm for a week, but he did not feel any better. When he and his sister noticed that his left knee had become slightly swollen his sister called their father. Mu’s father told them that it could be an ulcer and suggested that they go to a hospital or buy him pain medication to reduce swelling. His sister bought the medication their father had suggested at a pharmacy, and Mu took it for a week. However, he did not feel better, and the swelling did not decrease. Mu was able to have an MRI at Chiang Mai Hospital and now the doctor recommends he undergo surgery to remove a tumor on his left knee. Mu sought treatment through our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund and is now scheduled to undergo mass removal surgery on December 17th. He is requesting $1,500 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care which will enable him to get off of using crutches and back to feeling well again. Mu said, "After I heard from the doctor that my leg does not need to be amputated, I feel so happy."
Taw is a 30-year-old woman who lives with her family in a refugee camp in Thailand. Originally from Burma, Taw fled to the refugee camp with her father in 2008 due to a civil war in her village. She used to work as a midwife in the hospital in the refugee camp but became a homemaker after getting married in 2017. Her father is unemployed, while her niece, nephew, and son go to school. Her husband worked as a day laborer outside the refugee camp. However, since COVID-19 cases were detected in the camp and there was an increase in cases in Thailand, schools were closed, and her husband can no longer leave the camp for work. The family shared that they rely on support from a local organization called the Border Consortium, which is not enough for their daily needs, so they must stretch the income until the end of each month. In her free time, Taw loves to play with her son and cook her favorite foods. Taw is expecting her second child soon. Due to her first delivery via Cesarean section and complications during birth, Taw’s doctors recommended that she deliver by a Cesarean section to ensure her and the baby’s safety. On November 15th, Taw will undergo a Cesarean section at our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF). BMCF is requesting $1500 to fund this procedure. Taw shared, “I have one son now, so I would like to have a girl this time. After I have weaned my baby, I want to work as a midwife again at the hospital.”
U Ghwe is a 70-year-old man who lives with his wife and granddaughter in Burma. His wife is ill and not able to look after household chores most of the time. His granddaughter is a student in grade 12, but since her school is closed right now, she looks after the household chores. U Ghwe is a weaver and primarily makes bamboo baskets used to carry materials for construction. The family also fishes and raises chickens. Four years ago, U Ghwe had a stroke which left the muscles in his right foot very stiff. Although he can walk, he cannot wear sandals comfortably and instead goes barefoot. About a month ago, while cutting bamboo for weaving, he felt something bite the sole of his right foot. When he got home that evening, his foot was painful, itchy, red and swollen. Unfortunately, he did not have money to seek treatment at a clinic and eventually, the wound developed into an abscess filled with pus. A family member finally recommended that he visit our medical partner's care center for further examination and treatment. After examination, a doctor diagnosed him with an ulcer and told him that he has diabetes. The doctor shared with him that any injury U Ghwe sustains will not heal easily. His doctor has recommended surgery to clean the ulcer and help it to heal. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF), is helping U Ghwe receive the recommended treatment. On October 7th, he will undergo a wound debridement procedure at BCMF's care center to help his wound heal. Now, he needs help raising $694 to fund his procedure and care. U Ghwe shared, "I do not know how long my daughter will not be able to [give] me money. Today, my daughter called me and said that my son-in-law will need to have surgery so she cannot send me money. I am the only one who can earn an income, so if I do not feel better, I will not be able to work. I am interested in working with wood. If was younger, I would learn and become a carpenter but now I feel I am too old."
Ar is a 28-year-old man who lives with his wife, three sons, and two daughters in a refugee camp. Originally from Burma, his family fled to Thailand 20 years ago due to civil war. His children attend school, except for his youngest daughter, who is not yet old enough. His wife is a homemaker and Ar works as a day laborer when work is available. Ar's family shared that, in addition to his day laborer pay, they receive a monthly cash card from The Border Consortium to purchase food in the refugee camp. Overall, the family's total monthly income is just enough to cover their basic needs. On September 2nd, Ar climbed a tamarind tree to pick tamarinds fruit. When the branch he was standing on suddenly broke, he fell and landed on his right arm and experienced pain in his back. He visited the camp hospital that day, and the medic initially determined that his arm was not broken. Due to recent positive COVID-19 cases in the refugee camp, Ar could not be immediately referred to the local hospital for further testing and was kept for observation at the camp hospital. When the pain in Ar's back and arm did not subside the next day, the medic referred Ar to the local hospital. After receiving a negative COVID-19 test, Ar was finally able to visit the hospital on September 6th, where he received an X-ray for his arm and a blood test for a second COVID-19 test. The X-ray revealed that his upper right arm is broken. With the help of our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF), Ar will undergo surgery on September 8th to reset his fractured bones and ensure proper healing. The procedure will enable Ar to continue working in the future. BCMF is requesting $1,500 to fund this procedure. Ar shared, "I am scared to receive surgery. But I was told that I will not be able to work using my right arm if I do not receive surgery, so I gave my consent to the doctor. I hope that I will be able to work again after I receive treatment."
Elsa is a 9-year-old boy from Ethiopia. He loves to play football with his dad and other kids. He is the first born in a family of three. His father is a daily laborer and his mother takes care of their house and family. Elsa and his family live in a rented house. Their family shared with us that Elsa does not go to school because his father hides him from the community for fear of gossip and stigma due to his birth condition. His parents are highly affected psychologically as a result of his affliction. His father is planning to send him to school in September after his surgery and recovery. Elsa was born with hypospadias, a congenital abnormality. Without treatment, he will continue to experience uncomfortable symptoms and will be at risk of infertility. Elsa had his first stage of hypospadias repair surgery in January and is now planned for a second stage surgery. He will be healthy and active after this treatment. Elsa is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on August 31st. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,293 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care. His father said, “I hope my child goes to school after the treatment. I hope he will mingle and play with other children and that will make him happy, break his isolation, and resolve the tension in his mind. If God wills he will be a doctor.”
Meet Jecinta, a 12-year-old friendly, talkative, and funny girl. She is the youngest in her family of three children. Currently, Jecinta is a student in grade 5, and in school, she likes reading and playing with her friends even though her legs limits her ability to play as well as her peers. Jecinta's mother is a single mother who works temporary jobs on neighbor’s farms, clothes washing, and other available jobs. Jecinta was born healthy, but her mother noticed a sudden bowing of her legs when she was one. Jecinta's mother took her toddler to a nearby hospital where plaster was applied to her legs to prevent spreading of her condition. However, since then, it has continued to worsen and has been affecting Jecinta's mobility. At this point, she cannot stand upright and play with friends as she would like to. Fortunately, Jecinta is scheduled to undergo surgery on July 19th to correct her legs. This treatment will allow her to walk like other friends, play with them, and continue with her studies, all of which can improve her self-esteem. “I would wish for support for my child because I cannot be able to afford the hospital bills,”Jecinta’s mother asks.

The Grand Illusion (1937)
This film demonstrates the evolution and continual mastery of film making techniques to convey a story, however it lacks a solid narrative structure. The story has little introduction, a web of complications and conclusions with various climaxes and finally ends.
New techniques include that of time passing. To demonstrate a time skip there would either be a dialogue of current events to do with the war or a shot of a newspaper reporting events. The new convention of establishing shots shows the use of a moving vehicle with a camera on it. Possibly a train or early dolly system. These shots were also used to demonstrate a passage of time via a montage of shots.
With the introduction of sound comes the problems of the sound editing process. A few scenes such as when all the prisoners played the flute and when Marechal was speaking to the cow were clear examples of inexperience in sound editing. The tone of the flutes did not change despite everybody moving behind a wall.
There was one terrible cut during the scene where Marechal and Elsa are about to kiss where the music is built up to an exceptionally loud and impacting point and then it’s a straight cut to the next day with different, softer music. It was just disturbing to the eyes and ears.
The film is generally realist, but incorporates expressionistic elements such as the scene where everybody stands still, in a rather twilight zone-ish style while the camera pans around the set. The aforementioned montage technique is another expressionistic element used. However the main goal was to convey a realistic story. The expressionistic techniques seem to be used for pacing and comic relief.

Strength Vs Size - What Are You Aiming For? | Whattsupps
Unfortunately, we come across countless numbers of bodybuilders who don’t seem to understand where their training style begins and end.
In this blog post, our pros talk about something more specific: confusing training for size with training for strength. Of course, the two aren’t mutually exclusive - if you are training for size you will obviously get stronger. Now that we are on the same page, let’s get serious about building lean muscle:
The Size-Strength Scale
Simply put, strength is all about increasing the production of force in our body. On the other hand, size is about pumping up and causing microscopic damage to the muscles which then causes them to repair grow bigger.
The primary rule to stick to when you are training for strength is to stick low reps and a high resistance load.
Let’s assume that our body is a computer. Now under this assumption, training for strength would be like upgrading your software which in our case is our Central Nervous System (CNS). Strength training is more about telling your CNS how to increase motor unit recruitment or bringing more muscle to the game.
On the other hand, the goal for training for size is more physiological than neurological. It is about upgrading your body’s hardware like tissues, bones, muscles and connective tissues. You literally force the tissues to grow larger.
The Rep Scheme
Unlike any other type of athletes, physique athletes can benefit from motor unit recruitment. Therefore, it is necessary to add some low rep/high load exercises in your program. You would still be spending a predominant amount of time in the range of high rep/low load exercises which will have a larger effect on altering your structural hypertrophy.
However, it is not like you are totally missing out on strength when training for size. While all types of trainings have neurological benefits, typically our bodybuilding goal is to cause maximum structural change. So if that is your goal, don’t leave any mass on the table!
A Few Tips To Keep It Balanced
If you wish to gain muscle size while at the same time boost strength by maximize the time your muscles spend under tension, here are a few tips that can help:
- Use strict form.
- Utilize controlled ‘lowering’ movements that last least three seconds.
- Mentally focus on the muscles at work.
- Avoid locking out your joints during movements so that muscles are under tension at all times.
So muscle or strength? We say train for both! If you are looking for size, adding in a muscle building supplement can help significantly! Check out our collection of original muscle building supplements today.

It was a really emotional Moment for the image to the thank you, said Paula Head, chief Executive of the University Hospitals Southampton, to the BBC. The employees of the hospital had lost friends and team members of the Coronavirus, so Head. It was an honor that Banksy would have chosen this hospital to thank them for the extraordinary services of the health staff. The picture will undoubtedly be the Moral and appreciated by all lift, as well as in the work of a Moment to pause in the hectic pace of everyday life.
“It is the heart,” says one of the employees warmed “to know that someone has done something for us.” A Nurse is happy that your profession will receive with this work is now appropriate recognition, and also as a role model: “So the children can look up to us.”

This dramatization is loosely based on the life of the Soviet scientist Lev Theremin. He was the inventor of the first electronic musical instrument that bears his name. His "electronic synthesizer" caused quite a sensation all over the world. Theremin created the Rhythmicon - the first electronic drum machine, the theremin cello and terpsitone.
As for the story, it is fictitious. Theremin wasn't kidnapped by the NKVD. He flew back to the USSR from New York, where he'd fallen in love and married an African American ballet dancer.
But back in the USSR, Theremin was imprisoned and sent to a labour camp where he ... designed eavesdropping devices, one of the most notorious was the Great Seal bug. The 'present' had hung in the U.S. ambassador's study for years before the concealed bug was discovered.
Leo Theremin, or Lev Termen in Russian, was a genius, but sadly little is known about him. There is a documentary directed by S. Martin, which is too inaccurate to refer to, and a brilliant book by A. Glinsky that I can recommend.
The performance was rather laid-back. T. Hollander as Theremin seemed distant and even dismissive at times, in stark contrast to the passionate and sympathetic Anna (Kate Ashfield). It's their relationship that intrigued me. Psychologically, it's a curious play, but do not expect any action.
All in all, I'd say I enjoyed this spy drama.

Love stories are beautiful to watch and to be honest, a love story that ends beautifully is always on my priority list. My boyfriend never really watches those kinds of romantic shows which ended on a sad note and so do I. However, over the past few years, I am getting along with many new rom-com dramas that don’t make the couple together. Even the Japanese anime series are focusing on these kinds of storylines and one of the prime examples of it is Tsurezure Children. After the series released its first season, viewers are wondering if there will be a Tsurezure Children Season 2 in the near future or not.
Based on the manga series, which was among the best-selling manga of the year, the series received widespread popularity. Many manga readers hope that their favorite book series got adopted by any studio so that they can rewatch their favorite story all over again. The same goes for Tsurezure Children series too. Fans were delighted to hear that Tsurezure Children would be adapted as an anime series.
The first episode of season 1 was aired on 19 September 2019 and received widespread live by viewers all over the world. Soon after the series got released, fans from all over the world got obsessed with the storyline of this series. The show has been witnessed to raise the viewership within the week and new fans were added.
After the Tsurezure Children Season 1 concluded its storyline, there started the confusion if the series will ever get renewed. The manga is still on and there are enough resources to make another season. Will there be Tsurezure Children Season 2? Here is everything that we know about this series. Read this article till the end to find out
Tsurezure Children: Know About it!
Tsurezure Children is a Japanese anime series that is based on manga that shares the same name. The writing of the amazing storyline of this show is done by Toshiya Wakabayashi. The show focuses on the lives of two high school students who somehow fall in love and manage to get along. Like many Japanese rom-com shows, this show will also take your life interest to the next level.
The relationship that this anime sets seem to be impossible for real life but we never know. After the manga got amazingly hit, Studio Gokumi confronted the writer and started to visualize the series for its anime. In 2017, the series launched for the first time on the screen which includes 12 episodes in total.
Revolving around the lives of the high school couples and their way of living with each other, this series would definitely give you the butterflies which only your crush gave you. After getting along with the episodes, every new one seems to be interesting, the best part about these kinds of dramas is that their story keeps you hooked up with the plot.
Through the 12 episodes, the viewers came to know about the different kinds of couples who own completely different ways of romantic behavior. The way of loving is different for all the partners and we love watching it.
After season 1 concluded its story, fans wanted to know more. The story left suspense and the cliffhanger was making the fans eager for Tsurezure Children Season 2. Fans are wondering if there will be another season of Tsurezure Children or not?
Are you obsessed with princess stories? The Princess Diaries is the Top ranked princess theme story that follows the old schoolgirl, Anna Hathaway, and her journey to become a real princess. The third part of the movie is already confirmed, Read about it here.
Tsurezure Children Season 2: Is it Confirmed by the Officials?
The first season of Tsurezure Children finished in 2017. It’s been 4 years since we last heard about the romantic drama but the fans are still hoping to see season 2.
Tsurezure Children would be one of those anime series that is making the fans hooked up with it. If you are a true anime lover then you would know that these animations can be renewed any time of the year. Sometimes, an anime requires only a couple of weeks or months to get renewed while some may take a whole leap year.
Tsurezure Children is that kind of drama that would be relevant for any time of age. The teenager can relate to the series and the adult would remember their high school love with it.
The series beautifully broadcast how sometimes love is not the only thing that keeps the relationship. The happy ending doesn’t mean that the couple stays happy, sometimes it means that both the person finds their safest and happy place, whether it is together or separated. We can always end our relationship and still be happy because that is what life is all about.
Tsurezure Children is also that kind of series that makes you realize that not every relationship is built up to go till the end. The series has surely ended without concluding anything.
The officials have not announced anything that would give us hope for the Tsurezure Children Season 2. There is no official confirmation and we don’t know if Tsurezure Children season 2 is actually coming or not. For now, season 2 is neither canceled nor renewed by the showrunners.
We are keeping a close eye on every single detail by the studio and will update you as soon as we find anything.
Tsurezure Children Season 2: When is it Going to be released?
The manga of Tsurezure Children is still there and fans are still crushing over it. After the Tsurezure Childrenseason 1 ended, we all thought that there would be another part. However, it’s been almost 4 years since we last heard anything about the series.
Viewers are wondering that if the studio had to renew the series they could have done it so far. But what’s stopping the creators from releasing the series. The show is one of the most anticipated series and even got a great response. There is already enough source material for the creators and if they want they can conclude the series by reeling the season 2.
The manga still has lots of chapters that are left to be covered and at least they could have shown that to make a genuine ending of this series.
The officials have just wrapped up the second installment of the series and now the fans are wondering if there would be another part to cover the life of Subaru Natsuki? If you are one of those fans who have been waiting for Re: Zero Season 3 then this would be the stop for your searches. Read this article to find out everything about the series in detail.

Turiya Autry Q & A
“At the end of the day, love will save us, but first we must confront our voyeuristic & disconnected relationship to the violence that composes our world. Turiya’s poems are a meditation on the ‘maimed & misplaced’ dance steps that waltz us through this journey. With a woman’s sensuality, a mother’s care & an activists’ heart, Roots Reality & Rhyme provides an emotional blueprint for imagining ourselves back into a gorgeously mended & full humanity.” - Christa Bell- artist, writer, cultural healer
"There is a voice of reason and clarity in the whole picture, dealing with social-economic factors and the raw emotional states that rise and fall in the endless grappling for existence in the post-modern era of America. Turiya Autry grips my attention and never lets go. Due perhaps to her enigmatic voice, the drama that pulls my heartstrings, or because of the memoir-style linear storytelling, I believe that I caught every beat. Her poems help to draw music from lines without actually introducing music."

Collette, I think you should do what you want for your fast.
Fasting burns off your body fat and in the process you eliminate toxins that are stored in body fat as those fatty acids are released into the bloodstream. But there is nothing magical about it and there is simply no Science behind being a "purist" during your fast. So as far as I am concerned drinking any diet soft drinks is not going to undermine your progress. Non-caloric drinks are non-caloric drinks. They do not contribute to weight gain, which is the whole point of drinking them. :)
Some people have an insulin response to diet drinks, meaning that it makes them start craving sweets, but this is anecdotal and there is no research behind it, so just pay attention to your body and if you feel like diet soda makes you more hungry or whatever, you can drop them. Otherwise, I don't see a problem with using them for a fast.
I drank Diet Coke and other diet drinks when I was out with friends during my fast, they did not hinder my progress and helped me keep going when I had to be around a lot of socializing and food situations. :)
My feeling is anything that helps you stick to a fast is worth doing. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

Ramayan rerun is being enjoyed by everyone across the country during the lockdown. Viewers watching the epic are hooked on to every little scene and detail. Recently, one user pointed out that several scenes were not being shown in the rerun, but Prasar Bharati’s CEO Shashi Shekhar clarified that they were airing the original production.
The Twitter user wrote, “Sir why important events like Ahiravan and Diksha by Ravan to Laxman cut down…. feel disappointed. To this he responded, “There have been no cuts, they were not part of the original production.”
@Swapnil2371 There have been no cuts, they were not part of the original production.
— Shashi Shekhar (@shashidigital) 1587182387000
Another section of the viewers had recently complained that Raavan’s killing scene was edited. While they hailed Lord Ram’s victory, they were disappointed that scenes between Raavan and Lakshman were cut from the telecast.
However, it seems with the reply of Prasar Bharati’s CEO to the above user, viewers now know that all the scenes were not part of the original Ramayan production.
Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, an epic based on Hindu mythology, became the highest watched ‘serial’ in the Hindi general entertainment space with its rerun. It garnered 170 million viewers in its first four shows.
The show was relaunched on March 28 amid the gloomy times of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The lead actors of the show, Arun Govil, Dipika Chikhila and Sunil Lahri were happy with the response from the audience. Pictures of them watching Ramayan’s rerun also went viral on the internet.

A Discovery of Witches is a book that I am not convinced is good, but you can bet I devoured it and will read all three books in the trilogy. The question is: why?
First, let’s get the basic plot out of the way. Diana is a witch, but she doesn’t use her powers, nor is she interested in using them. She’s perfectly happy being an American history professor at Oxford. Until she calls up a book from the archives: Ashmole 782. This book, it turns out is enchanted, and everyone from the three non-human races (vampires, witches, demons, all of whom look conveniently human) is interested in reading it. Alas, she’s already sent it back to the stacks. Don’t bother with why everyone wants it. Ashmole 782 is the book’s macguffin. Everyone is suddenly after Diana.
One particular vampire, Matthew Clairmont becomes more entranced with Diana than the book. He turns out to be French nobility, because of course he is. They fall in love very melodramatically – the whole book is very melodramatic – and he protects her as they have adventures and he awakens the witchy part of her. Of course he does.
Which brings us back to the question of why do I like this book? I’ve admitted to enjoying romances, and the romance aspect is part of it. I’m much more partial to a story about relationships than a story where people are horrible to each other. There’s enough horror in the world.
But it’s not like this is a happy book – there’s kidnapping and torture and death. There is Good – Diana and Matthew and their families – and there is Evil – the Congregation, a group of people who want to keep Diana and Matthew apart, who also want Diana to bring the book back so everyone can learn what’s in it for their own advantage.
It’s melodrama, a genre that is so over the top that it’s practically camp, and A Discovery of Witches is definitely taking itself seriously. And that might be why I devoured it: the heightened emotions, the very clear good vs evil, putting family first, and the love story. There is something appealing about that, especially when it’s on my television screen or in a novel.
And so yes, I will read the second book in the series, which involves time travel, and probably the third, too. And I might tell you to read them too.
