"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a short story by Washington Irving. With Irving's companion piece "Rip Van Winkle", "Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction still read today. The story is set circa 1790 in the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town, in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a sycophantic, lean, lanky, and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer. As Crane leaves a party he attended at the Van Tassel home on an autumn night, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, who is supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War, and who "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head". Ichabod mysteriously disappears from town, leaving Katrina to marry Brom Bones. Although the nature of the Headless Horseman is left open to interpretation, the story implies that the Horseman was really Brom Bones in disguise. (Wikipedia)

In BKS Iyengar's Light on Yoga, he says dharana, concentration, the sixth limb of yoga, is when the student is "concentrated wholly on a single point or on a task in which he [or she] is completely engrossed."
To begin experiencing this type of single-minded concentration, we played a yoga version of the classic card game Concentration. In the background of the picture there are 52 playing cards, each with a picture and an English and Sanskrit pose name. There were 13 different poses (4 of each). By turning cards over, students attempted to make matches of the poses. When matches were made, the poses were practiced, and those cards removed. When no match was made, the cards were returned to play. At first, the process was completely random and matches were made by pure chance. However, after a few rounds, as more cards were revealed, and a few removed, an intense use of memory and concentration was needed to remember the location of the poses. It happened to particularly cold last Friday (like single digits), so students were extra motivated to make matches, and get moving! Here we're practice bridge pose (setu bandha sarvangasana.)

Possibility to interfere with malaria parasite activity using specific electromagnetic frequencies
EPJ Nonlinear Biomedical Physics volume 3, Article number: 11 (2015)
The absence of clear breakthrough in malaria combat could support the need for different ways of tackling the disease that are substantiated by conceptually new bases. The main idea of this research is to analyze possibility to interfere with malaria parasite activity using specific resonant electromagnetic frequencies. Although the idea to combat malaria infection with electromagnetic frequencies is not new, we will here present unique approach, so called Resonant Recognition Model (RRM) to specifically identify electromagnetic frequencies mostly important for interference with malaria infection.
The RRM is calculating periodicities (frequencies) in distribution of free electron energies along protein sequence which are relevant for protein function/interaction. When charge transfer through protein backbone is considered then it can produce electromagnetic radiation of specific frequency depending on charge velocity. Ten groups of proteins relevant for Plasmodium interactions were analyzed.
Each of ten groups of proteins have at least one significant characteristic frequency peak at one of the following RRM frequencies: f = 0.002, f = 0.11 or f = 0.34. This suggests that the diversity of proteins participating in Plasmodium invasion could be represented with only three RRM frequencies. Depending on the charge transfer mechanism (velocity) along the protein, different electromagnetic resonant frequencies are expected. Based on presented results, we suggest that the RRM frequency of f = 0.002 (related to 2-5THz), to be regarded as crucial for Plasmodium infectivity and possibly for interfering with invasion process. Although this far infrared electromagnetic frequency cannot penetrate human body more than down to 4 cm, such radiation can be of great help in combating Plasmodium, since a sizeable part of parasite remain in the skin for hours after the mosquito bite. In addition the specific RRM frequency is capable to resonantly initiate a whole cascade of protein-protein (DNA, RNA) interactions directed to the specific biological activity which could contra-act Plasmodium infection.
This research is devoted to the study of malaria, one of the most challenging global health concerns of our time. In humans, malaria is caused by several species of the parasite Plasmodium (Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium knowlesi). During its lifecycle, Plasmodium parasites either the human host or the Anopheles mosquito. For this, a sophisticated set of redundant invasion mechanisms is used, although the puzzle of these mechanisms is still far from being solved. At proteomic level, there are Plasmodium proteins interacting with human host proteins, as well as Plasmodium proteins interacting with the Anopheles mosquito proteins [1–7].
The main idea of this research is to analyze the possibility to interfere with malaria parasite activity using specific resonant electromagnetic frequencies. Resonant recognition in a nonlinear process. The idea to combat malaria infection with electromagnetic frequencies is not new, as there has been an attempt to design system that can kill mosquitos using infrared electromagnetic radiation . Here, we are presenting approach to specifically interfere with infection, rather than killing mosquitos, with specific characteristic electromagnetic frequencies calculated using unique, unconventional and innovative approach, so called Resonant Recognition Model (RRM). The RRM proposes that protein-protein, protein-DNA and protein-RNA interactions are based on electromagnetic resonant recognition with distinctive characteristic frequency for each interaction [9–11].
The RRM approach is based on physical–mathematical description that has found growing support along the last 30 years [12–16]. According to the RRM, we propose that protein recognition during parasite invasion takes place through exchange of electromagnetic radiation at very specific frequencies. We use this unique approach to identify the specific frequencies of interaction between Plasmodium and both human and Anopheles mosquito cells with possibility to interfere with these frequencies pursuing to prevent malaria infection. Similar approach using the RRM has been proposed to combat Ebola infection .
In our previous research we have analyzed interaction between Plasmodium proteins and human proteins involved in malaria infection with the objective of proposing a promising RRM based vaccine candidate . Here we build up on these results to find out the main specific frequencies of initial recognition between Plasmodium and human proteins, as well as Anopheles mosquito proteins. The new proteins analyzed were three Plasmodium proteins associated to mosquito invasion (CTRP, TRAP and Enolase), as well as one Anophelian protein involved in the immune response of the mosquito against Plasmodium invasion (ICHIT). We estimated RRM characteristic frequencies for groups of proteins involved in Plasmodium life cycle. Subsequently, the expected electromagnetic frequencies were estimated, assuming several plausible scenarios for charge movement mechanisms. Based on the obtained results, we propose that electromagnetic radiation at these frequencies will be able to interfere with the corresponding macromolecular interactions.
Resonant recognition model
The RRM postulates that protein/DNA/RNA interactions entail a mechanism of resonant energy transfer between involved molecules at the frequency specific for each observed function/interaction [9–11]. The RRM describes the most likely theoretical scenario for protein recognition and interaction managing to overcome the some drawbacks of traditional approaches based on structural complementarity. At the same time, the RRM includes a practical algorithm for detecting the resonant frequencies in a group of analogous/orthologous proteins. For that, a protein’s primary structure is represented as a distribution of free electron energies along the sequence with each amino acid in the sequence symbolized with the corresponding physical-chemical parameter describing free electron energies [9–11].
The resulting numerical series represents the distribution of the free electrons energies along the protein molecule. Such numerical series is then analyzed with digital signal analysis methods, using Fourier Transform, in order to extract information pertinent to the biological function. As the distance between amino acid residues in a polypeptide chain is 3.8 Å, it can be assumed that the points in the numerical sequence are equidistant. For further numerical analysis, the distance between points in these numerical sequences is set at an arbitrary value of d = 1. Therefore, the maximum frequency in the spectrum is F = 1/2d = 0.5. The total number of points in the sequence influences the resolution of the spectrum only. Therefore, for an N-point sequence the resolution in the spectrum is equal to 1/N. The n-th point in the spectral function corresponds to the frequency f = n/N.
In order to extract common spectral characteristics of sequences having the same or similar biological function, the multiple cross-spectral function is used. Comparing Fourier spectra of these energy distributions using multiple cross-spectral function (consensus spectrum), it has been found that proteins sharing the same biological function share the same periodicity (frequency) within energy distributions along the protein. This common frequency is proposed to be characteristic frequency for the biological function analyzed. In addition, it has been found that interacting macromolecules (protein/DNA/RNA) do share the same frequency, but exhibit opposite phase at this frequency [9–11, 17]. Thus, it has been proposed that the RRM frequencies characterize not only a general function, but also interaction between the particular protein and its target, which then can be considered to be resonant recognition.
Conceiving macromolecular interactions as resonant energy transfer between the interacting molecules, energy transfer can be foreseen as through oscillations of a physical field, possibly electromagnetic in nature. Since there is evidence that proteins and DNA/RNA have certain conducting or semi-conducting properties, charge moving through the macromolecular backbone and passing different energy stages caused by distribution of free electron energies along the protein sequence, can produce sufficient conditions for a specific electromagnetic radiation or absorption. The frequency range of this field depends on charge velocity. Initially, the RRM proposes that charge is travelling through macromolecular backbone in the form of solid state electrons at estimated velocity of 7.87x105m/s [9–11]. For this velocity and the distance between amino acids in a protein molecule, which is 3.8 Å, the frequency range for protein interactions was estimated to be in the range of 1012Hz up to 1015Hz (Cosic’s scenario). These computational predictions were found to be related to biological function of the macromolecules by comparison with a number of experimental measurements [9, 10], as well as by direct experimental endorsement [13–16, 18].
With this scenario charge transfer is proposed to travel through protein backbone. However, if we take into account possibility for charge transfer through protein complex structures and in particular alpha helices, it could be in the form of solitons  (Davydov [20, 21], Hyman , Sinkala ), excitons (Davydov [20, 21], Sinkala , Yomosa , Pang ) and phonons (Yomosa , Pang , Ichinose ). These other forms of charge transfers proceed at different velocities ranging from 105 m/s for solitons and some excitons all the way down to the speed of sound and small fractions of the speed of sound for phonons. Thus, with the same periodicities within proteins sequences, as determined by the RRM, different modalities of charge transfer can produce different resonant frequencies, which are not necessarily related to their protein biological function, but could be related to the protein and DNA/RNA resonances, in general. Such approach has been tested with tubulin and microtubule  and results have been experimentally proved . In addition we have applied this approach to telomerase as example of proteins, telomere as example of DNA sequences, as well as TERT mRNA as an example of RNA macromolecules .
We centered our study using RRM analysis on:
proteins involved in parasite infection of red blood cells/hepatocytes,
proteins involved in the Anopheline stage of Plasmodium life cycle,
proteins proposed as vaccine candidates,
human erythrocyte targets of Plasmodium invasion,
proteins involved in mosquito stage of Plasmodium lifecycle.
For a full list of the eighty one analyzed sequences (allocated into ten groups of proteins), see Additional file 1. The following groups were included in current research:
Intestinal Chitin Binding Protein (ICHIT)
The ICHIT is a galectin with two putative chitin-binding domains separated by a polythreonine-rich mucin region. ICHIT’s mucin domains participate in the formation of the extracellular matrix and in trapping microbial pathogens. The ICHIT is regarded as a marker of mosquito’s immune response and is also the name of this protein’s encoding gene, which is regarded as belonging to the ‘Pattern Recognition Receptor’ gene family . Eight ICHIT sequences were analyzed.
Circumsporozoite and TRAP Related Protein (CTRP)
The CTRP is the first molecule reported to be essential for ookinete infectivity and consequently, mosquito transmission of malaria. It is produced in the mosquito-invasive, or ookinete stage and is a protein candidate for a role in ookinete adhesion and invasion of the mosquito midgut epithelium and is considered to be a transmission-blocking vaccine candidate. The CTRP contains two types of adhesive domains (von Willebrand factor type A-related and thrombospondin type 1-related) and has been detected at the site of contact with the basal lamina, suggesting that the junction so formed may induce the ookinete to transform into an oocyst, which has been supported by targeted disruption of CTRP experiments in vivo. The CTRP is also involved in ookinete locomotion into Anopheles midgut and has been shown to bind to laminin and collagen IV, major components of the basal lamina, prompting further suggestions of a putative role in the transformation of ookinete to oocyst. It was found that naturally induced humoral immunity against CTRP leads to transmission halt . Six CTRP sequences were analyzed.
Thrombospondin-Related Anonymous Protein (TRAP)
The TRAP is a protein expressed in sporozoites. During anopheles invasion, the TRAP is a core player in sporozoite gliding, cell invasion and in vivo infectivity. It has been found that sporozoites carrying a mutated TRAP A-domain are impaired in salivary gland invasion, but not in gliding motility, suggesting that the two processes are functionally distinct and that the A-domain is involved in recognition and/or attachment to salivary gland receptor molecules. The TRAP is one of the few vaccine candidates proposed hitherto for P. vivax. Plasmodium falciparum TRAP contributes to the development of protection against severe malaria, suggesting that this molecule could increase the protective efficiency of available sporozoite malaria vaccines . Seven TRAP sequences were analyzed.
The Plasmodium Enolase is an essential enzyme in the glycolytic pathway catalyzing the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate. Glycolytic enzymes seem to be promising candidates from this perspective, as energy production in P. falciparum depends entirely on the glycolytic pathway as the parasite and its mammalian host (erythrocytes) lack a complete Krebs cycle and active mitochondria. Interestingly, the Enolase also serves a separate function: it is exported to merozoite cell surface via a poorly understood mechanism. In Plasmodium, surface Enolase assists in the invasion of their host cells by binding plasminogen, a plasma protease precursor. It is an important target in mosquito’s immune response, due to its nature as ookinete surface ligand. It apparently interacts with midgut epithelial cells. The Enolase has been considered as a promising vaccine candidate [5, 29]. Seven Enolase sequences were analyzed.
Circumsporozoite Protein (CS)
The CS plays a key role in hepatocyte invasion by Plasmodium sporozoites. This process proceeds apparently via interaction of CS with proteoglycans on the surface of the hepatocytes. The only phase-3 vaccine for malaria so far is based on CS [4, 30]. Eighteen CS sequences were analyzed.
Apical Membrane Antigen 1 (AMA-1)
The AMA-1 protein, is involved in merozoite reorientation, moving junction formation and parasitophorous vacuole resealing during erythrocyte invasion. It is also expressed during the sporozoite and hepatic stages. The AMA-1 has also being claimed as a target for hepatocyte invasion by sporozoites, suggesting that it could be considered as a potential candidate for a multi-stage malaria vaccine, targeting both erythrocytic and pre-erythrocytic human host stages [31, 32]. Six AMA-1 sequences were analyzed.
Erythrocyte Binding Antigen (EBA175)
The EBA175 protein is a blood stage antigen that aids binding of the merozoite to host erythrocytes. The EBA175 is regarded as an adhesin that binds to sialic acid and glycophorin A during RBC invasion. The EBA175 also binds to RBC Band3 protein, thus participating in at least two major mechanisms of RBC invasion. Antibodies targeting EBA175 do inhibit RBC infection by Plasmodium. The EBA175 has been considered as a promising vaccine candidate . Eight EBA175 sequences were the analyzed.
Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein (PfEMP1)
The PfEMP1 has been described as the rosetting ligand of Plasmodium. Rosetting is the term used to describe the adhesion of infected erythrocytes with uninfected erythrocytes in the vasculature of the infected organ and is associated with severe malaria. The PfEMP1 proteins were found to bind to a wide range of endothelial receptors, such as CD36, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), chrondroitin sulfate A, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule, vascular cell adhesion molecule, hyaluronic acid, heparam sulfate, and other molecules, such as complement receptor 1, immunoglobulins G and ABO blood group antigens. The PfEMP1 has been considered as a vaccine candidate . Thirteen PfEMP1 sequences were analyzed.
Signal Peptide Protease (PfSPP)
The PfSPP binds to Band3 proteins from RBC membrane. It has been regarded as a potential target of anti-malarial drug development. Four PfSPP sequences were analyzed.
RBC Band3 protein
For studying putative interactions, the RBC Band3 protein was also analyzed. Band3 protein is a ubiquitous membrane transport protein found in the plasma membrane of diverse cell types and tissues. It is the major integral transmembrane protein of the erythrocyte plasma membrane, comprising 25 % of the total membrane protein. It allows bicarbonate/chloride exchange across erythrocyte cell membranes, as well as lactate influx to RBC. It has been hypothesized that the main route of RBC invasion by merozoites occurs through a Band3 dependent pathway. The presence of Band3-like protein in hepatocytes has been suggested as well . Four RBC Band3 sequences were analyzed.
Results and Discussion
Here, we used the RRM model to analyze the proteins involved in Plasmodium life cycle including interaction with human host. The aim was to find out characteristic frequencies for these functional groups of proteins and for their interactions. Subsequently, the aim was to identify electromagnetic frequencies related to these characteristic frequencies and related functions/ interactions. If we identify a frequency that is vital for Plasmodium interaction with the host then there is possibility to interfere with this frequency and prevent interaction with host (infection).
We have analyzed all listed groups of malaria related proteins and obtained the following results:
Anopheles proteins involved in Plasmodium invasion
Consensus spectrum for ICHIT is showing single prominent common peak at frequency of f = 0.0034, as presented in Fig. 1.
Plasmodium proteins involved in anopheles invasion
From the consensus spectrum for CTRP, as presented in Fig. 2, several peaks can be observed, perhaps reflecting the multiple functions ascribed to this protein. As apparent, the main peak appears at frequency of f = 0.0186. Other peaks appear at frequency of f = 0.0034, at frequency of f = 0.11 and at frequency of f = 0.34.
Consensus spectrum for TRAP is presented in Fig. 3. The main peak appears at frequency of f = 0.2508, whereas a second peak appears at frequency of f = 0.11.
Consensus spectrum for Enolase is presented in Fig. 4. The main peak appears at frequency of f = 0.3496, whereas other peak appear at frequency of f = 0.43.
Plasmodium proteins involved in human host invasion
Consensus spectra for Plasmodium proteins involved in interaction with the human host have been discussed in detail in our previous paper . Here we outline the most salient aspects of that study.
When the RRM was applied to eighteen CS proteins only one prominent peak appeared at frequency of f = 0.002. This frequency is shared also by EBA175 proteins, as well as PfEMP1 proteins. CS from Plasmodium species with dormant stages (P. cynomolgi and P. vivax) exhibited an additional peak at frequency of f = 0.334. However, CS from P. falciparum only presented the common peak at frequency of f = 0.002.
In summary, for Plasmodium proteins interacting with the human host, the frequencies of the main peaks are presented in Table 1.
Human proteins interacting with plasmodium proteins
The RBC Band3 proteins from red blood cells share the same frequency of f = 0.11 with EBA175, but with opposite phase at that frequency, thus confirming the known interaction between these two proteins during erythrocyte invasion .
Estimating electromagnetic wavelengths according to different charge transfer mechanisms
The RRM proposes interaction between macromolecules, including proteins, is based on resonant electromagnetic energy transfer. The frequency of this electromagnetic energy will depend on periodicity of free electron energy distribution along protein as calculated by the RRM, as well as upon the speed at which charges are traveling. Since different mechanisms of charge transfer have been proposed, more than one frequency will be associated to a single RRM frequency.
Different frequencies were identified, but the three following frequencies were found in the number of different groups of proteins and thus are of special interest: frequency of f = 0.002, frequency of f = 0.11 and frequency of f = 0.34. These three frequencies could be considered as the characteristic of parasite vitality in general. Thus, we propose that parasite vitality can be diminished by interfering with some of these three RRM frequencies. To find out the corresponding electromagnetic frequencies we have introduced the different modalities of charge transfer, as described above. The corresponding electromagnetic frequencies depending on different charge velocities are presented in Table 2. These results have shown that possible resonant frequencies relevant to parasite vitality can be within different frequency ranges (THz, GHz, MHz and even KHz) depending on mechanism and charge velocity within the protein structure.
On the other hand the frequency at range of f = 0.002-0.0078 within the calculation error appears as a very prominent peak in four of the ten studied protein groups, including ICHIT, CS, EBA175 and PfEMP1. The roles played by these proteins are very diverse, however our results are showing that there is common characteristic frequency for all these proteins analyzed and thus we propose that the frequency of f = 0.002 is a key role player for Plasmodium vitality. In addition, we also narrow down to charge velocity, as proposed by Cosic’s scenario, which has been shown in the past to be relevant for biological function of the proteins [27, 28]. Thus, we propose here that the most probable frequency to be used to interfere parasite activity is frequency of 2-5THz.
With this results in mind, it is possible to consider that instead of several hundreds of proteins, cell invasion mechanism can be assessed through a considerably fewer number of electromagnetic frequencies. Thus, RRM theory is proposing an alternative simpler way to handle the problem of malaria invasion.
Our results revealed that in spite of structural and functional diversity, as well as differences in their origin, ten studied protein groups shared at least one of the following three RRM frequencies (f = 0.002, f = 0.11 or f = 0.34). Particularly ubiquitous was frequency of f = 0.002 (0.002-0.0078), that appeared as the main peak of consensus spectra for proteins playing so diverse roles as pattern recognition receptor immunity in mosquitoes, hepatocyte invasion, antibodies to human proteins and erythrocytes’ rosetting. Thus frequency of f = 0.002 has been proposed as the main RRM frequency involved in Plasmodium vitality. This would most likely correspond to an infrared frequency of 2-5THz. Thus interfering with this frequency from an infrared source should disrupt malaria invasion process. Although this far infrared electromagnetic frequency cannot penetrate human body more than down to 4 cm , such radiation can be of great help in combating Plasmodium, since a sizeable part of parasite remain in the skin for hours after the mosquito bite. In addition the specific RRM frequency is capable to resonantly initiate a whole cascade of protein-protein (DNA, RNA) interactions directed to the specific biological activity which could counteract Plasmodium infection.

My husband loves spaghetti. To be honest, I've gotten a little tired of it. But since he is so picky, I do make spaghetti once or twice a month using his special recipe. A few months ago, I came up with a great idea. Why not make lasagna with some of the sauce?
Here's what I do.
Spray a loaf pan with oil.
Ladle a hearty helping of meat sause into pan.
Spread a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese on one no cook lasagna noodle.
Place the noodle cheese side up in pan.
Cover with another ladle of sauce.
Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat as desired.
Since it's just me eating it, I only do two layers. Cover the pan with foil and bake for about 30 minutes at 375.

For this week's “Thursday Pregame Playlist,” we conferred with Alex Weinstein, SEAS '11, aka DJ Alpaca and founder of Frat DJs.
This is a great song to start off a night. Great beat, love the heavy synth.
This is the latest and greatest to come out of the LMFAO camp. Has some great potential to blow up and be THE party song in the coming months. Megabanger right here.
I know this lil' number has been around for a few months, but it is really just a great upper. The energy in this song just builds until that chorus drops hard. Deep bass, fat beat.
Huge upper. I wasn't a huge Chris Brown fan, but you've gotta love this track.
Taio did it again. This song is his newest single to officially reach “Top-40” status, and it doesn't disappoint. Kylie's voice was built for this song (especially after they auto-tune the crap out of it).
Enrique has been brought back to life in the past few months. First teaming up with Pitbull and now Luda; he is really trying hard to be relevant again. This track is definitely what the people want, plus it really has a great message.
This track brings it back a few years. Combining new and old. Great jam, a lot of fun.
Feel good song of 2010 right here. One of my favorite tracks of the year, absolutely one of the best bangers in a long time.
Nicki Minaj makes this song. She absolutely kills this track.
To say “back from the dead” would be an understatement. Wiz hasn't been relevant in a long time, especially since that show he put on at Bacchanal, but he really did knock this one out of the park. Sorry to the Jets fans.

Borrowed Time had such great potential! First, there's the excitement that Max finally finds a cure for the virus. After convincing Alec to help her steal in order to get the money she needs, she pays the technician who injects her with immunoglobin that will prevent the virus from replicating. Yeah! One problem though... the virus mutates and begins dissolving the protein coat, so the cure will be temporary. Okay, stop right there! Providing a temporary cure so Max and Logan could be together would have been the perfect solution. It would have given the fans a little bit of Max/Logan romance, but it would have returned them to their agonizing separation for the next episode. Thus, keeping the show's two main characters from hooking up (which we all know is ultimately death to a good show!)
But, no... the writers had to go and include the stupid storyline involving another Manticore monster (and the most hideous and sci-fi creature revealed so far) to keep Max and Logan from being together during their limited time of virus immunity. So, instead of some cute, romantic interaction, we've got Max traipsing through the sewer with Alec after some creature that throws slime at its victims!
The funniest part of this episode is when Joshua comes to Logan's to tell Max about the Gossamer. When he sees Max and Logan (who've been slow-dancing), he averts his eyes and yells, "Stop getting busy, please!" But the ending of this episode was heart-breaking! With their time nearly up, Max and Logan sit side-by-side in a junkyard car, where Logan tells Max what it was like for him when he thought she was dead and how he feels the same way now. He wishes they would have done things differently last year when they were too afraid to admit their feelings. As the beeper goes off, he leans in to give Max a passionate kiss, then climbs out of the car. He looks back at her and says, I love you, Max. As he walks away, Max says, I love you, too. The episode ends as a tear falls down her face.
So disappointing, such great potential, such a good opportunity wasted...

Week ending 19 April: Election manifestos: pensions| FSCS to provide 100% protection for annuities| Surge in pension freedom enquiries|
Election manifestos: Pensions
Everything points towards the 2015 General Election being one of the tightest races in decades and a lot of commentary is focussed on the prospect of coalition government. This makes an analysis of the compatibility of policies, including those of smaller parties, more relevant than ever. The key pledges on pension are shown below.
The Conservatives have pledged to scrap inheritance tax on homes worth up to £1m if they gain a victory in next month’s General Election.
The party’s proposal will be funded by raiding pension tax relief for additional rate tax payers who earn above £150,000.
At present, everyone has a personal inheritance tax allowance of £325,000 or a combined allowance of £650,000 for married couples – 40 per cent tax applies to the value of property above this.
The Tories plan to create an extra tax-free band worth £175,000 (£375,000 between spouses), which would apply to main residences and bring the total nil-rate band available on a property to £1m. The change would come into effect in April 2017.
In its manifesto, the party confirmed a number of plans previously hinted at, including the intention to cap pension tax relief at 20 per cent for those earning over £150,000 in order to fund a cut to university tuition fees from £9,000 to £6,000.
The party also pushed for the inclusion of ‘proper guidance’ in its reforms to avoid any further mis-selling for those wanting to drawdown their pension pots after the new pension freedoms came into effect last week.
"We support greater flexibility for those drawing down their pension pots, but there must be proper guidance for people to avoid mis-selling,” the party said in its manifesto.
Labour also repeated a promise to retain the triple lock on state pensions, so that the state pension will increase by inflation, earnings or 2.5 per cent, whichever is the highest.
The Labour Party manifesto pledged to force pension fund investors to disclose how they vote on remuneration, as part of a wider move to “improve the link between executive pay and performance”.
The Liberal Democrats have pledged to establish a review to consider a single rate tax relief which would be ‘more generous’ than the current 20 per cent.
Additionally, the party said if it were to gain power, it would legislate to make the triple lock permanent.
The UK Independence Party has promised to deliver a flexible state pension ‘window’ to allow pensioners to take a slightly lower weekly state pension from the age of 65 and a £60 million budget for Pension Wise for 2015/16.
The party provided no details over how the policy would be funded, stating only that it would become cost-neutral to the state over time.
The manifesto also attacked the 45 minutes of guidance provided by Pension Wise as ‘completely inadequate’ and promised to fund a higher standard of independent guidance for savers.
It pledged to increase the budget for the guidance guarantee in 2015/16 to £60 million, and the 2016/17 budget to £30 million. In March the Financial Conduct Authority confirmed that the estimated cost of the guidance guarantee would be £39.1 million over 2015/16. A pensions advice and seminar programme would also be made available to all pensioners in order to protect their best interests and savings if Ukip came into power.
The party also committed to the criminalisation of cold calling by pension scammers to crack down on unregulated financial firms.
The Green Party has pledged to overhaul the state pension system, halving the tax relief on pension contributions in order to fund a ‘citizen’s pension’.
In its manifesto, the party, said it will replace the state pension system with a ‘citizen’s pension’ that would pay £180 a week for single people and £310 for couples, regardless of their contribution record. Future increases would be at the higher of the price increases of basic goods and services or average earnings.
It said tax relief currently amounts to a £40bn government subsidy for a pension system it believes has “failed”. As a result of this, it said it intends to fund the overhaul by halving the tax relief on contributions, which would raise £20bn.
The party would additionally make further cuts to the annual allowance to ensure “more of the subsidy goes to the lower paid”.
Also, it would restore full state pensions to those expats whose payments have been frozen since they moved abroad
Would resist increase in State pension age beyond age 65. Want retention of ‘triple lock’ for State pension increases. And want single tier State pension of £160 to keep pensioners off means tested benefits.
Would introduce a new single-tier ‘Living Pension’ to help end pensioner poverty. Further pledges include reviewing the unfair extension of the state pension age; introducing flexible pension access for the self-employed and ending the unfair 40% plus pensions relief subsidy for higher-rate tax payers.
FSCS to provide 100% protection for annuities
In Policy Statement 5/15, the PRA sets out proposed amendments to its rulebook which are intended to align the existing insurance compensation rules more closely with the PRA’s statutory objectives and contribute to the future operational effectiveness of the FSCS in providing continuity of cover, payment of benefits falling due and compensation in the event of the failure of an insurance firm.
Among other things, the new rules agreed following consultation include the extension of compensation to all long-term insurance products (including annuities, pensions and life assurance) from 90% to 100% of the outstanding value of the policy, in the event that the insurance provider becomes insolvent.
The new policyholder protection rules and statement of policy are due to take effect on and from 3 July 2015.
Surge in enquiries following introduction of freedom and choice for pensions
Figures from the Association of British Insurers (ABI) show that ABI members handled over 200,000 phone calls from customers in the first week following the introduction of the pension reforms, a 214% increase in average call volumes that would be expected during the period. The figures show that between Tuesday 7 and Friday 10 April:
- ABI members received 229,932 phone calls from customers interested in finding out more about their pension options under the reforms. This was a 214% increase in average call volumes that would be expected during the period, equating to an average of 57,483 calls each day.
- After a peak on Tuesday, call volumes have fallen but were still well above the average.
- Over 10,000 written and email requests were received each day, more than double the average.
Providers’ experiences in the early days have underlined that, for customers wanting to take cash, there are three important points they should consider to help them make an informed decision:
Even if customers think they’ve made up their minds about releasing cash, it’s still important they speak to Pension Wise and their provider to make sure they understand all the implications. People should be sure they will have enough money for their retirement if they cash in their pension now.
Savers turning their entire pension pot into cash could face a sizeable tax bill, reducing the amount of money available to them. Customers who want to release several lump sums should expect to see emergency tax imposed on these payments, which they will then need to reclaim from HMRC. The tax system works by taking tax up front and correcting any over-payments later.
VALUABLE PENSION BENEFITS
Customers with a valuable guarantee in their pension, such as a Guaranteed Annuity Rate (GAR), are required by the government to take financial advice before they can transfer or take cash, if these safeguarded benefits are worth £30,000 or more. This is to ensure they are aware of the value of this option before deciding whether to give it up.
PPF confirms changes to pensions flexibility do not apply to PPF and FAS payments
The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) has confirmed that the changes to pensions flexibility introduced on 6 April 2015 do not apply to the PPF and therefore entitlement to PPF compensation doesn’t change. Members will still receive a regular payment from the PPF rather than a lump sum. This also applies to the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) and the assistance paid by FAS.

Editorial: Paterson may be turning the corner on violent crime
Too many times in the last decade, violent crime in Paterson seemed as if it might spiral out of control and threaten to take down all the good the city has to offer with it. Too many lives have been lost in that time, and too many tears shed.
We recall the steep reduction in force in the city police department in 2011, layoffs that helped fuel a spike in street shootings, drug-related killings and gang violence. And there were those awful few months of sorrow and despair in 2014, when 12-year-old Genesis Rincon was killed by a stray bullet while riding her scooter, and 14-year-old Nazerah Bugg was fatally shot while she and a 15-year-old friend were standing in front of a fried chicken takeout.
The city may never completely recover from those senseless killings, but as Joe Malinconico of Paterson Press reports, crime statistics indicate that the city is continuing to make strides in becoming safer.
According to the Uniform Crime Statistics report compiled by the New Jersey State Police, Paterson saw a dramatic 50 percent reduction in the number of homicides in 2018. What’s more, the city’s 12 homicides last year was lower than any other time since 2004, according to the report.
Overall violent crime in the city has been trending downward since at least the last months of 2017. Paterson also had a decline in the number of non-fatal shootings in 2018.
“I can definitely say Paterson is a safer city now than it was in recent years,” said Police Chief Troy Oswald, who became chief at the start of 2018 and seems to have the department thinking more creatively about the way it attacks some of the city’s lingering ills, not the least of which has been an ever-present drug trade that helps to feed street crime and gang activity.
Oswald said one of the reasons for the reduction in violence was the assignment of 10 extra detectives to units that target street crime and narcotics, part of what the chief has described as “hot-spot policing.” Police Director Jerry Speziale cited improved department morale, as well as cooperative working agreements with other law enforcement agencies, such as the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Andre Sayegh, still in his first year as mayor, cited a number of factors contributing to the drop in homicides. Among them is an ordinance he championed as a city council member that requires businesses, including bars and liquor stores in high-crime areas, to close at midnight.
Sayegh has said often that one key to Paterson’s renaissance is to first make it safer, and thereby improve the negative toll on the city’s perception that years of drug-related crime and street violence have taken. “A safer city is a stronger city,” Sayegh said after hearing of the latest report.
Perhaps, as some community activists like Ernest Rucker contend, the city is not safer yet, but hard-grain statistics such as these are hard to simply ignore, and they point to a city heading in the right direction, beginning to turn a significant corner on curbing violent crime and making its neighborhoods safer for all.

Kos is a Greek island, part of the Dodecanese island chain in the southeastern Aegean Sea, off the Anatolian coast of Turkey. Kos is the third largest of the Dodecanese by area, after Rhodes and Karpathos; it has a population of 33,388 (2011 census), making it the second most populous of the Dodecanese, after Rhodes.
Kos island is part of a chain of mountains from which it became separated after earthquakes and subsidence that occurred in ancient times. These mountains include Kalymnos and Kappari which are separated by an underwater chasm 70 metres (230 ft) (40 fathoms deep), as well as the volcano of Nisyros and the surrounding islands.
There is a wide variety of rocks in Kos which is related to its geographical formation. Prominent among these are the Quaternary layers in which the fossil remains of mammals such as horses, hippopotami and elephants have been found. The fossilised molar of an elephant of gigantic proportions was presented to the Paleontology Museum of the University of Athens.
Tourism is the main industry in Kos, the island's beaches being the primary attraction. The main port and population centre on the island, Kos town, is also the tourist and cultural centre, with whitewashed buildings including many hotels, restaurants and a number of nightclubs forming the Kos town "barstreet". The seaside village of Kardamena is a popular resort for young holidaymakers (primarily from the United Kingdom and Scandinavia) and has a large number of bars and nightclubs.
The island has a 14th-century fortress at the entrance to its harbour, erected in 1315 by the Knights Hospitaller, and another from the Byzantine period in Antimachia. The ancient market place of Kos was considered one of the biggest in the ancient world. It was the commercial and commanding centre at the heart of the ancient city. It was organized around a spacious rectangular yard 50 metres (160 ft) wide and 300 metres (980 ft) long. On the eastern side there were shops. In the first half of the 2nd century BC, the building was extended toward the interior yard. The building was destroyed in an earthquake in 469 AD. In the southern end of the Market, there was a round building with a Roman dome and a workshop which produced pigments including "Egyptian Blue".
Farming is the second principal occupation, with the main crops being grapes, almonds, figs, olives, and tomatoes, along with wheat and corn.

How to control white discharge?
April 19, 2023
Vaginal discharge refers to the fluid that comes out of the vagina. It is a common occurrence for women and serves to keep the reproductive system healthy by removing dead cells and bacteria. However, abnormal vaginal discharge can be a sign of an underlying condition that requires medical attention.
What is vaginal discharge?
Vaginal discharge is a natural occurrence in women and helps maintain vaginal health. It is a mixture of cervical mucus, bacteria, and vaginal secretions that flow out of the vagina. The amount, colour, and consistency of vaginal discharge can vary depending on factors such as age, menstrual cycle, and sexual activity. Normal vaginal discharge is usually odourless or has a mild odour and can range in colour from clear to milky white.
What is considered normal vaginal discharge?
Normal vaginal discharge varies from woman to woman and can change throughout the menstrual cycle. It can be thin, thick, or stringy and can range in colour from clear to milky white. Normal discharge typically has a mild odour and may increase in volume during ovulation or sexual arousal. It is important to note that any pain, itching, or burning should not accompany normal discharge.
What does the colour of vaginal discharge mean?
The colour of vaginal discharge can indicate different things. Clear or white discharge is typically normal and healthy, while yellow or green discharge may indicate an infection such as bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis. Brown discharge can be a sign of old blood, while pink or red discharge can indicate bleeding. Greyish discharge may indicate bacterial vaginosis. It is important to seek medical attention if the discharge is accompanied by itching, burning, or pain.
What infections cause vaginal discharge to change?
Several infections can cause changes in vaginal discharge. Yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomoniasis can cause abnormal discharge, itching, and irritation. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and herpes can also cause changes in discharge. If you suspect you have an infection, it is important to seek medical attention to receive proper diagnosis and treatment.
How does vaginal discharge change if you’re pregnant?
During pregnancy, the body undergoes hormonal changes that can cause an increase in vaginal discharge. This discharge is typically clear or milky white and odourless. It may be thicker than usual, but any pain or itching should not accompany it. However, if there is a change in colour, odour, or consistency, it may be a sign of an infection, and it is important to seek medical attention.
Why does my vaginal discharge smell?
A strong or foul odour from vaginal discharge can be a sign of an infection. Bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and STIs can cause changes in vaginal odour. Poor hygiene, tight clothing, or scented products can also cause an unpleasant odour. If you notice a strong or foul odour, it is important to seek medical attention to receive proper diagnosis and treatment.
When is vaginal discharge a sign of an infection?
Abnormal vaginal discharge that is accompanied by itching, burning, pain, or a strong odour is often a sign of an infection. In addition, yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and STIs can cause changes in vaginal discharge. If you suspect you have an infection, it is important to seek medical attention to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Home remedies for vaginal discharge
There are several home remedies that can help alleviate symptoms of vaginal discharge.
- Keep the vagina clean: To prevent vaginal infections that can cause abnormal discharge, it’s essential to keep the vagina clean. You can wash the vulva with gentle, mild soap and warm water. Avoid putting soap directly inside the vagina, as it can disrupt the natural pH balance.
- Avoid scented products: Using scented soaps, feminine hygiene products, douches, feminine sprays, and bubble baths can disrupt the natural pH balance of the vagina and increase the risk of infection. It’s best to avoid them altogether.
- Wipe from front to back: Always wipe from front to back after using the bathroom to prevent bacteria from getting into the vagina and causing an infection.
- Wear cotton underwear: It’s recommended to wear 100% cotton underwear to allow the vagina to breathe and avoid moisture buildup. Avoid tight-fitting clothing, as it can trap moisture and increase the risk of infection.
Following these tips can help maintain good vaginal health and reduce the risk of vaginal infections and abnormal discharge. However, it is important to note that home remedies should not replace medical treatment if symptoms persist or worsen
When and who should I see about vaginal discharge issues?
If you experience any abnormal vaginal discharge, speaking with your healthcare provider is always best. It is recommended to seek medical attention if you notice any of the following:
- An increase in the amount of discharge
- A change in the colour or consistency of the discharge
- A foul odour
- Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse or urination
- Itching or irritation in the vaginal area
- Bleeding between periods or after sex
It is important to note that some vaginal discharge changes can be a sign of an underlying infection, such as a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or sexually transmitted infections. Therefore, speaking with a healthcare provider to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment plan is essential. You can see your primary care physician, gynaecologist, or a healthcare provider at a sexual health clinic to address any vaginal discharge issues.
People also ask
1. What is the reason for white discharge?
White discharge is a normal occurrence in women and is usually caused by hormonal changes in the body. It is produced by the cervix and vagina to help clean and protect the reproductive organs. White discharge can also be a result of sexual arousal or ovulation.
2. Is it normal to have white discharge?
Yes, it is entirely normal to have white discharge. Every woman’s body produces some amount of vaginal discharge, and it can vary in amount, colour, and texture throughout the menstrual cycle.
3. Does white discharge mean pregnancy?
White discharge alone is not necessarily a sign of pregnancy. However, increased white discharge can be a common early pregnancy symptom, and some women may notice a white, milky discharge during pregnancy.
4. What does pregnancy discharge look like?
During pregnancy, the vaginal discharge tends to be thicker, milky and has a mild odour. The discharge can also increase in amount, and some women may experience spotting or light bleeding during the first trimester. If you experience any abnormal discharge during pregnancy, it is essential to speak with your healthcare provider to rule out any infections or complications.

Plymouth County commissioner asks board members to end ‘archaic’ system
A proposal to dissolve Plymouth County government may not meet a lot of enthusiasm from local officials, but Gov. Deval Patrick is open to the idea.
Plymouth County Commissioner John Riordan asked fellow board members Tuesday night to consider firing themselves and handing county government over to the state, calling it an unnecessary third layer of government that taxpayers shouldn’t finance.
Riordan said commissioners spent about a half-hour on the matter Tuesday night. He said the proposal would still need input from the county’s advisory board as well as public hearings before any action could be taken.
The commissioners do not have the power to dissolve the government structure, but if they reach a consensus they can vote to ask the governor or a state lawmaker to do it by filing legislation.
“Commissioner Riordan’s proposal is interesting and something the administration will consider,” Patrick spokeswoman Cyndi Roy said in an e-mail.
Patrick has been pushing for more streamlined government by consolidating the state’s transportation network and bringing county sheriffs under the state umbrella.
That last change, which took effect Jan. 1, meant that Plymouth County commissioners lost their control over the sheriff's department – a key factor behind Riordan’s proposal.
“I know my proposals are not going to be met by officials of Plymouth County with enthusiasm, but hey, we can’t have county government for the sake of having county government,” Riordan told The Patriot Ledger before Tuesday night’s meeting.
Plymouth County government also includes the registry of deeds and owns the county courthouses, which are otherwise operated by the state’s court system. County Treasurer Tom O’Brien chairs the county retirement board.
But not everyone agrees with Riordan, who describes many functions of the the county system as “archaic.”
“I stand by county government,” said Daniel Pallotta, chair of the county advisory board, before Tuesday’s meeting. “It’s not a dinosaur, but it needs to be grown to relieve cities and towns.”
He estimated that 90 local jobs would be lost without the county system.
Riordan said he has had discussions with state lawmakers about his proposal, but declined to say with whom.
Rep. Vinny deMacedo, R-Plymouth, learned about the plan from a reporter, but said he would have an “open mind” to dissolving the system.
“For someone on the inside to say that, I think we’d be foolish not to listen to what he has to say and his concerns,” deMacedo said.
A spokesman for Senate President Therese Murray, D-Plymouth, released a statement saying Murray “has supported finding efficiencies by bringing the remaining county sheriffs into the state system, but dissolving an entire county government would be a much more complex process.”
Riordan’s proposal was not on the agenda for the county commissioner’s meeting. He did not notify fellow commissioners that he planned to bring it up under “other business” – although he told WCVB-Channel 5 Monday night and asked WATD to grant him a radio interview Tuesday morning.
“These things shouldn’t be discussed behind closed doors, and that’s my reason for going on the radio,” he said.

I've been crafting up a storm the last few days in effort to bulk up my Etsy shop!
Here are some of the results:
Two crocheted button cuffs -- these are made from scrap yarns I had lying around the house and random buttons. They are really lightweight and cute. :)I've also been painting some little wood blocks with acrylics. I think they would be super cute in a kids room or any small space that needs to be brightened up.
Yesterday was Bobo and Rascal's first birthday!! Nate and I made them mini catfood cakes and had a nice relaxed night at home. Here is a picture of our happy little kitties ( who aren't that little anymore!) Happy Birthday!!
Thats it for now, I've been relaxing and taking full advantage of the fact that my semester is over. :)

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Once again, two unstoppable players took to the Staples Center court. Unfortunately for the Los Angeles Lakers, one of them was the New York Knicks' Allan Houston.
Houston scored a career -and NBA season-high- 53 points as the Knicks overcame another brilliant performance by Kobe Bryant for a 117-110 triumph over the Lakers, who were unexpectedly missing injured All-Star center Shaquille O'Neal.
"I was just trying to be focused," Houston said. "Just trying to make the right plays. If I had the shot, I was going to shoot it, if I had the drive I was going to drive."
"He looked like he was super focused - even on his walk in here - and that is the area he has to remain in," Knicks coach Don Chaney said. "He was at an unbelievable level of focus and I thought it was totally carried into the game."
It was the first 50-point game by a Knick since Patrick Ewing scored 50 against the Charlotte Hornets on December 1, 1990. Houston tied Willis Reed's production at Los Angeles on November 1, 1967 for the fourth-most in the team's illustrious history.
The tally by Houston, who shot 18-of-29 from the field and 13-of-15 from the line, came four days after Bryant scored 51 at Denver.
"(Houston) had a wonderful game tonight," Bryant said. "He played extremely well. He was right on traget most all game, and it wasn't pleasant."
Bryant scored 40 in this one, his ninth straight game with at least 35 and franchise record-tying fifth in a row with at least 40, matching Elgin Baylor's mark durng the 1962-63 campaign.
"There's no stopping Kobe," said Knicks forward Latrell Sprewell said. "We felt like we played pretty good defense but he still got 40 down the stretch. The way he's shooting the ball, he's just incredible."
Bryant made 14-of-31 shots from the field and 9-of-10 free throws but was hampered by a sore right knee.
"It is just 'jumper's knee,'" Bryant said. "I exploded on a pull-up jump shot and sprained it," Bryant said. "I was pretty much dragging it the rest of the game. I had tendinitis in both knees so you have to constantly stay on top of it. The good thing about it is that I recovered pretty well and I respond pretty quickly. A couple of days of rest and I will feel just fine."
"He usually responds well to treatment but we're not too worried about it," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "We're a team that's very fine-tuned. Obviously we have to have our personnel to play well. We don't have a lot of parts that are adjustable without."
But the Lakers were missing O'Neal, who is day-to-day with a sore left knee. His replacement, Samaki Walker, was held scoreless, and starting forwards Rick Fox and Robet Horry combined for just 14 points.
"Shaquille has a sore knee," Jackson said. "The doctors came in and looked at it and we decided he should sit out the game out this time. It will be game-to-game. We're not taking X-rays or MRIs, he doesn't feel it is necessary."
New York led just 87-84 three minutes into the fourth quarter after Brian Shaw nailed back-to-back 3-pointers. But Clarence Weatherspoon countered with two free throws with 8:43 left to trigger a 15-4 run over the next 4 1/2 minutes, and the Lakers got no closer than five points down the stretch.
Sprewell scored 14 points and Othella Harrington 10 for the Knicks, who shot 54 percent (42-of-78) as they improved to 2-0 on their six-game Western road trip.
Derek Fisher contributed 21 points, Brian Shaw 16 and Devean George 14 for the Lakers, who lost their second straight home game following a season-high seven-game road trip.
"We couldn't seem to do anything with Houston tonight," Jackson said. "We double-teamed him and gave up 3-point shots to somebody else or layups or he made his shots. Obviously it wasn't working very well."

WhatsApp introduces voice and video calling feature to desktop version
SCI & TECH
By Fredrick Obura | March 4th 2021
NAIROBI, KENYA: You can now make one-to-one voice and video calls on WhatsApp from your desktop.
On Thursday Facebook said subscribers will be able to use desktop screens for calls in both portrait and landscape mode, and the calls will be end-to-end encrypted.
Throughout the last year, Facebook said it has seen a significant increase in people calling one another on WhatsApp, often for long conversations.
“With so many people still apart from their loved ones, and adjusting to new ways of working, we want conversations on WhatsApp to feel as close to in-person as possible,” read a statement from the company
“To make desktop calling more useful, we made sure it works seamlessly for both portrait and landscape orientation appears in a resizable standalone window on your computer screen, and is set to be always on top so you never lose your video chats in a browser tab or stack of open windows.”
In addressing the issue of security with the new application, Facebook said the voice and video calls on WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted, so WhatsApp can’t hear or see them, whether you call from your phone or your computer.
The company will start with one-to-one calls on the WhatsApp desktop and will be expanding the feature to include group voice and video calls in the future.
The move to facilitate calls over large screens would put WhatsApp on par with video-conferencing bigwigs Zoom and Google Meet, but it is not clear if it has ambitions to compete with the two in the enterprise space.
WhatsApp, which recorded 1.4 billion voice and video calls on last New Year’s Eve, has benefited from the COVID-19 pandemic as people around the world used video-calling apps to stay connected while sheltering themselves at home.

I also decided to get some of this belt material while notions were on sale at JoAnn's to make him a belt. The home-made pants are a transition from the store-bought pants with the hidden, adjustable, elastic waist, and the faux leather belt I bought him is really bulky on his slender frame. It was pretty easy to make, just two D-rings and finishing off the ends of the belt.
For some reason, the pockets I cut were bigger than the width shown by the pocket placement markings on the back side of the pants. I checked and couldn't find that I made a mistake. Not sure if this was a pattern error. So, I did raise the position of the back pockets on these about a centimeter or two. And I'm glad I did.
I added a rivet to either side of the front pockets. Just a little detail to polish them off.
I originally bought this back issue because I loved and wanted to make the wool, boys' peacoat. But I've been pleasantly surprised to find how many other things I want to make from the magazines now. At the same time, I'm a little disappointed to see how many patterns seem to be repeated. In the last issue, there is a pair of green cords almost identical to the ones I had just completed! Albeit, I understand, sometimes there is a difference in fit. The ones here from the 6/2010 issue are quite fitted. I think the ones (#17) in the 6/2012 issue may be more roomy with a straight leg.
