So, let's rewind a year and a half. It had just been one of those days. I was pregnant with my third baby in three years (yes, on purpose… I'm just a little crazy), and I could feel a bug coming on. My throat had been scratchy and my energy was just depleted. Now, not only am I a little crazy, I am also a little "crunchy" so for the most part, my motto was to grin and bear it.
Well, at that time I was also working night shifts at a local coffee shop. While I was on shift, my dear friend knew I was feeling under the weather and gave me a sample of a blend on essential oils, known as OnGuard. OnGuard that helps support your body's immune system. So we chatted about essential oils for a bit and then I went back to working and drinking hot tea with lemon and honey to help soothe my throat. My throat continued hurting all night long.
When I finally made it back home after work I started researching essential oils. I had already been doing some research prior to this, but before I commit to anything I like to make sure to really educate myself. While I searching online I had opened the OnGuard sample and loved the scent right away; it smelt like Christmas. So there I was researching, and I realized that a few minutes later my throat was feeling better, simply from smelling the oil. From that point on I followed my friend's instructions to apply OnGuard, diluted with coconut oil, every hour and by the end of the next day I was feeling as good as new. I have been in love with essential oils ever since!
These essential oils have truly blessed my family. I am able to use a combination of Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint oil (diluted) on my boys and it helps support their bodies to combat seasonal issues and those annoying symptoms. I use the citrus oils for cleaning instead of cleaners from the grocery store that are full of toxic chemicals. I've been able to use citrus essential oils to help uplift my mood. The results have been amazing.
For anyone interested in learning more about essential oils, please email me at info@amandagerber.com.

'Charlottesville: Race and Terror' Gives an Up Close View of Recent Racial Violence
Chris Chaberski
Chris Chaberski Published: August 15, 2017
Last night (August 14), HBO aired a VICE News episode featuring a 22-minute documentary on the violent events that occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia, this past weekend. Correspondent Elle Reeve met directly and on-camera with white supremacists, organizers of the "Unite the Right" rally, counter-protestors and police over the period of Friday, August 10, through Monday, August 14.
Reeve and her team were able to capture chilling raw footage of multiple altercations, as well as the aftermath of the deadly car-ramming incident for which James Alex Fields Jr. was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. She also spoke with white nationalist leaders David Duke, Robert Ray, Matthew Heimbach and Christopher Cantwell.
Cantwell, in particular, plays a large role. Reeve interviews him multiple times, along with writers from white-supremacist websites like The Daily Stormer. The documentary concludes with Cantwell in what looks like a hotel room in North Carolina displaying the numerous weapons he had brought with him to Charlottesville. He clearly thinks the events from the weekend -- including the killing of Heather Heyer, which he calls "more than justified" -- were an overall positive experience.
"I think a lot more people are gonna die before we're done here, frankly," Cantwell tells Reeve.

The paper "Victim Representation" is an outstanding example of a law personal statement.
I have used a case contained in an article titled "Frenchman jailed over O'Keefe murder" to discuss my victim presentation. This article is available online on Sky news updated on January 8, 2012. The article starts by describing the murder of a certain Australian student aged 28 years old by a man called Adriano Araujo Da Silva. O'Keefe murder case was heard in court eleven years after her murder (Sky News 1). The prosecutor's report, described, has it that the victim's corpse had 13 blunt wounds and a double strangling when it was found. Caty Richard, the family lawyer, described the victim's final hours before she was murdered. She reported that the victim had left home on December 31 to meet a friend who turned up an hour late. The victim was, therefore, late to return home, and so, she set off to a friend's house on a train where she met Adriano who must have killed her. The victim's body was found beaten, strangled and rolled up in a sleeping bag outside a car park in Paris.
A test carried out on the victim by French investigators found male DNA under her fingernails. It took the detectives eight years to find a match and arrested Adriano Araujo Da Silva. In the article, Adriano's "physique" is likened to that of an athlete with a shaved head (Sky News 1). Adriano confessed to the court several times before retracting his testimony and testifying that he was not the one who murdered the victim. The prosecutor described him to have no empathy for the victim, and that on several occasions he contradicted himself in court. One of the victim's sisters called Denise told journalists that, Adriano was evil and he needed to be subjected to the "maximum sentence" according to the French law (Sky News 1).

Telecoms were eerily quiet on Guernsey and the other Channel Islands on 18 December 1979. The previous day, something had broken through each of the telegraph cables connecting them to the mainland.
As a result, the islands had no direct phone, fax, telex or telegraph connections to the mainland. Fortunately, they did have one remaining connection to France in place, so emergency messages could still be sent.
The connections to the mainland were down for three and a half days all told, during and after which the States Telecommunications Board considered what could be done to improve the resilience of the link.
It wasn't the first time Guernsey's connection with mainland Britain had been severed. It happened as far back as 1877 when it took more than a month to repair the damage.
It happened twice in 2016: once in January and again in November. The latter of those was caused by a ship dragging its anchor through the undersea cables, snapping all three. On that occasion, BT, Sure and JT warned it could take three weeks to repair and, again, all internet and voice communications had to be routed via France. Fortunately the "three week" repair was actually completed in seven days.
Guernsey, Jersey and the other islands are today connected by several cables so it is unlikely that they would ever be cut off entirely from the outside world by accident. In some places the cables are buried, but not along their full length. Unfortunately, even where they are under the sea bed, if a ship should drag its anchor across them there is still a chance they would be damaged. For this reason, the path of each cable is marked on maritime maps and there are restrictions on dropping anchor or fishing in their vicinity.
When King John lost Normandy, the Channel Islands had to side with either England or France.

Is Babylon on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, or Prime?
Naman Shrestha
Image Credit: Scott Garfield/Paramount Pictures
'Babylon' is a historical comedy-drama movie that focuses on the rise and fall of some fictional actors and actresses in the Hollywood industry back when it was transitioning from silent to sound movies. Written and directed by the Academy Award Winning director Damien Chazelle, the epic film features some of the biggest names in the film industry, including Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Tobey Maguire, Diego Calva, and Li Jun Li. It opened to mostly positive reviews from critics upon its premiere.
The movie takes an extravagant approach to portray what the Hollywood industry was back in the day, celebrating its history through some stunning visuals. When it comes to the compelling performances of the cast, each of them deserves the acclaim the critics and audiences bestowed upon them. So, if you are a fan of these actors or wish to get more insight into the industry's history, be it fictional, you might be excited to learn more about the Damien Chazelle directorial. In that case, we have got you covered!
What is Babylon About?
Set in the late 1920s during Hollywood's revolutionary transition from silent movies to talkies, the narrative mainly follows Jack Conrad, an established silent movie actor who loves to throw parties, Manuel 'Manny' Torres, an aspiring actor who works as a film assistant, and Nellie LaRoy, an aspiring actress who is Manny's love interest.
The interconnected lives of the three Hollywood-based characters make things complicated as Jack hosts one of the wildest parties he has ever thrown. Are you interested in finding out their fate by the end? Well, for that, you will need to watch the Margot Robbie starrer yourself, and here are all the ways you can do so!
Is Babylon on Netflix?
Although Netflix is known to have an expansive collection of movies and TV shows on its platform, it does not include 'Babylon.' But the streaming giant makes up for it by giving you access to some excellent alternatives, such as 'Mank,' 'Dolemite Is My Name,' and 'Blonde.'
Is Babylon on Hulu?
No, Hulu doesn't house 'Babylon' in its massive catalog. However, subscribers have the option to turn to similar movies, including 'Adaptation.' It follows a screenwriter named Charlie Kaufman who attempts to adapt Susan Orlean's 'The Orchid Thief' for the screen, giving us a glimpse into the process of film production, much like 'Babylon.'
Is Babylon on Amazon Prime?
Unfortunately, 'Babylon' is not available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Alternatively, you can make the most of your subscription to check out other alternatives that the streaming giant houses, like 'La La Land' and 'Café Society.'
Is Babylon on HBO Max?
HBO Max subscribers will need to look for 'Babylon' on other platforms as it is not a part of the streamer's extensive library of content. However, don't let it disappoint you too much as you can tune into some similar period dramas about the film industry, such as 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'Trumbo.'
Where to Watch Babylon Online?
'Babylon' has been exclusively released in theaters, which simply means that the Brad Pitt starrer is not available on any of the streaming platforms, and hence, cannot be watched online. But if you would like to watch the stunning portrayal of the Hollywood industry on the big screen, you are more than welcome to check out show timings and book tickets on the movie's official website and Fandango.
How to Stream Babylon For Free?
As mentioned above, it is unfortunate that 'Babylon' is unavailable on any of the digital platforms. This also means that there is currently no way for you to stream the drama film for free. All you can do is hope that it arrives on any of the online platforms offering a free trial to its new users. Nevertheless, we request you show support for the art of cinema by paying for the content you wish to consume instead of looking for ways to watch it illegally.

The Salmon dish was 5-star good. Again, we used Arctic Char instead, and removed the skin. Instead of 1/2 of a cup of panko, all we needed Was 1/3. Instead of 3 cloves of garlic we used 2. Instead of the evaporated milk, we used 3/4 of a cup of 2% milk plus 1 TB butter.
The Paleo Dim Sum was both a hit and a miss. Not wanting to have to eat in batches, we broke down and bought a 3-tiered bamboo steamer. Very good idea—this way we actually sat down and ate together. What didn't work was the cabbage: no matter how floppy it was, I couldn't get it to make a pocket, so they ended up looking more like green unsealed potstickers. The filling was excellent and we will make it again, using only wonton wrappers.
The Sardinia Minestrone: too much a good thing. By this I mean I made the recipe as called for (also adding two parmesan rinds and the unused boiled cabbage from the dim sum). We had our house/cat-sitter over for dinner, along with her husband (both young hungry marathon runner-types). I served assorted bowls of homemade pickled vegetables (another post for another time), two baguettes with goat cheese and butter, as well as a few ears of steamed corn. Even after we each took a second serving of the soup (some took three), there was enough left over to invite the people who live next door—but I didn't because, well, they annoy me. I ate it for lunch the next day. And the day after that. And…I finally tossed another 2 or more servings. Suffice it to say: you should half the recipe, or only make it when you are inviting 10 of your friends for dinner.
Sunday-Because Victor and Loy just now arrived home from a weekend of canoe camping, I had no idea what Victor's post-work meeting schedule looks like, so I am going to shop for the rest the week tomorrow, serving for dinner tonight our go-to last minute/no-ingredients-in-the-house meal: tuna fish sandwiches and roasted tomato and red pepper soup from a box (I prefer the TJ brand to the other organic brand). To the tuna I will add chopped fresh dill, carrots, a green onion, celery, a few capers, a splash of white vinegar, a dollop of Dijon, a pinch of sugar, and the requisite salt, pepper, and mayo. Loy and I will eat ours rolled up in raw green cabbage and kale leaves. Being the gluten lover that he is, Victor will eat his on bread. For the soup, I'll give it a brisk shake then heat it on the stove.
Monday– We've got a huge spaghetti squash that I will cut in half, bake, scoop out, then sautée with oil and top with Parmesan. The main dish, though, is the Santorini Farro Salad. We've had it before and it's fantastic. I will not use the tsatziki sauce included in the recipe, since it's overkill.
Tuesday-My pal Rebecca Raskin and her family will be here for dinner that night. I will make the aforementioned Spinach Tofu dish, and dal, and will also add a side of sautéed shredded carrot, cilantro and mustard seeds, also known as Koosmati. Rebecca is bringing homemade flatbread.
Wednesday-No school today. We might head to Montreal, but if not, I'll make Martha Stewart's shrimp shumai (yeah: those pork ones were that good). I have two heads of broccoli from last week's CSA that is begging to be roasted with garlic.
Thursday-Open house at school tonight so it needs to be easy and quick. We pick up our CSA so we will eat whatever lovely vegetables are offered, then supplement with some fancy cheese and bread.
Not so inspired this week, I know, and quite eclectic, but the summer produce is winding down and we need to take advantage of the quickly diminishing freshness available to us Vermonters. Any questions—just ask.
And as the spouse, sometimes sous-chef and other times cook I have to point out that we are breaking Wednesday's fast with, ironically, shrimp.


It's been another really good day off. This has been a wonderful holiday break. A real introvert recharge. Spent yesterday lounging and today stretching my minimalism wings in my study — the place where stuff goes that I don't know quite what to do with, but am not ready to let go of.
That'll be an exciting next step for me – really dig into the minimalist/decluttering world.

Q: Multiple forms triggered to single sheet I have a google spreadsheet that takes information from two different forms.
Manually triggering using the spreadsheet UI does not let you distinguish which form is specified when choosing "OnFormSubmit" in the triggers menu.
Thus, I am using the following code (for my sheet) to manage two different triggering events for two different form-submits:
function onOpen(e) {

var form = FormApp.openById('ID of Form 1');
 ScriptApp.newTrigger('onForm1Submit')
     .forForm(form)
     .onFormSubmit()
     .create();

var signup = FormApp.openById('[ID of Form 2]');
signup.setRequireLogin(true)
 ScriptApp.newTrigger('SignUpEvent')
     .forForm(signup)
     .onFormSubmit()
     .create();
}
function SignUpEvent(e) {
\\stuff
}

function onForm1Submit(e) {
\\stuff
}

But when I do it this way, I am recieving a failure notification on form submit:
Function: UpdateLadder
Error Message: "Authorization is required to perform that action."
Trigger: "formSubmit"
First off, how am I recieving these email notifications to begin with? I didn't manually ask for email notifications of error messages.
Secondly, what's the best way for me to get "authorization"?

A: For the onFormSubmit() function, you can write code to match the destination sheet to a certain function.  For example, I have a spreadsheet that has 2 forms that both have sheets for destination within it.  In the onFormSubmit() trigger code, here is what I did:
function onFormSubmit(e) {
  Logger.log("[METHOD] onFormSubmit");
  var sheet = e.range.getSheet();
  var sheetId = sheet.getSheetId();
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var student = ss.getSheetByName("Student Requests");
  var studentId = student.getSheetId();
  var teacher = ss.getSheetByName("Teacher Requests");
  var teacherId = teacher.getSheetId();
  if (sheetId == studentId){
    sendStudentEmail(e.range);
  }
  if (sheetId == teacherId){
    sendTeacherEmail(e.range)
  }
}

So, in this example, a Teacher can request using a form, and if the onFormSubmit is related to the Teacher form, then send the Teacher email, etc..

A: I'm reasonably certain that onFormSubmit ties one spreadsheet to one form; it doesn't know what to do with two onFormSubmit triggers.

These are Award-Winning Rooms for a Reason ... Take a Look!
A living room provides a sense of relaxation, a bedroom provides a sense of restoration, an office provides a sense of productivity, a bathroom offers a sense of escapism, and a kitchen fosters a sense of fraternity.
Today, we focus on the latter of these rooms, the bathroom and kitchen.
Whether primping or taking a warm bath, a bathroom requires an atmosphere fitting for a hideaway. And a kitchen, which acts as a communal gathering place for family and guests, requires something completely different.
A Nashville couple enlisted the help of Beth Haley Design to ensure their home's master bathroom and kitchen were serving their functions in practical yet stylish ways. The results? Two ASID Design award-winning spaces.
With storage in mind, full-height cabinets were installed. The white cabinets instill a sophisticated style when paired with the rich, dark island and chestnut hardwood floors. "In selecting finishes for the kitchen, we worked to strike the right balance between dark and light, matte and glossy, plain and patterned," Beth Haley says.
The French doors that once framed the space were replaced with a retractable bi-fold door, which allows the space to be bathed in natural light and provides easy access to the outdoors.
The built-in wet bar maximizes the space and entertaining options!
"Decorative accents like the shelf with a delftware platter above the cooktop, the antique tea service set above the fridge, and the leather and curved wood bar stools soften the space, balancing modern and traditional aesthetics," says Beth Haley.
The kitchen seamlessly flows into the dining room thanks to Beth's design plan, which allows for a natural transition of the two spaces.
In the kitchen, a new layout and thoughtful design features bring character and substance to the space. Meanwhile, the bathroom exudes its own character in the form of masculine luxury and easy glamour. The escapist space is defined by the variations of black and white in the color scheme, clean lines and high-end finishes.
Beth faced the challenge of providing more storage without increasing the square footage in the master bathroom. She found a solution in starting fresh. Double vanities with polished nickel pedestals, floor-to-ceiling cabinets, a glass-walled shower and a free-standing tub replaced the closed-in shower, small closet, built-in bathtub and standard-height vanities. "Though this bathroom is classified as large, it's a small footprint for all the bells and whistles it holds. By maximizing vertical space and replacing walls with the thinner materials of glass, we gained inches and the feeling of spaciousness," Beth Haley says.
The bells and whistles come in all shapes and sizes: heated marble floors, the shower's rain-head faucet, marble accents and desired storage. In terms of design, the enduring style of the bathroom is a break from the traditional but not a full entrance to the modern. In keeping with the couple's style, the room is sophisticated and artful.
The double vanities occupy a lot of space in the bathroom, but their polished nickel legs and reflective qualities trick the eye.
Reoccurring motifs and materials are found throughout the bathroom. Similarly to the vanities, the shower incorporates white Carrera marble and reflective surfaces.
Beth Haley was able to create a shower that exudes style and sophistication by pairing the Carrera marble with black marble inlays and black marble flooring.
The well-chosen materials make this master bathroom a luxurious getaway.
Beth Haley has completely changed our opinions of black walls. The bold, dark color perfectly complements the marble.
Although the master bathroom and kitchen were winners of ASID Design awards, they aren't the only spaces that Beth Haley expertly transformed.
Once bland, the powder room is now packed with personality. The chinoiserie wallpaper, gold accents, black toilet and small chandelier come together in this rich, masculine space.
We love how the powder room differs so greatly from the master bathroom.
The chinoiserie wallpaper brings color into the powder room. The small space has unexpected twists that make it one-of-a-kind.
The laundry room is more than just that. With cabinets and countertops aplenty, it now functions as a laundry room, pantry and staging area for entertaining.
We are not sure about you, but we are feeling inspired to update our own homes now!
Thank you to Andrea Behrends for today's lovely photography.

TRI-ORM (www.geog.le.ac.uk/orm) provided training for researchers in online research methods (ORMs). The project was designed to meet the training needs of researchers at all stages of their careers and with a variety of levels of knowledge of online research. The project was very successful and outperformed all original estimates of the number of researchers to be trained.
TRI-ORM was made up of three strands each of which was targeted at different levels of engagement and experience.
Face-to-face workshops for researchers with very little knowledge or experience of online research methods.
An advanced course taught at Masters level and delivered online.
Enhancement of an existing website providing new resources for learners and further support for tutors as well as establishing a blog and online professional networking site.
Enabling researchers from different stages of the career spectrum, a wide range of disciplinary areas and from within and outside higher education to develop their understanding of ORMs and learn from each other.
Being delivered on time, on budget and training 232 researchers - 72 (45%) more than outlined in the original bid.
Developing a successful way to teach research methods online that can be utilised by other teachers and trainers.
Feedback from participants which indicated that they were using the learning from the online course in their professional practice six months after participating in a workshop.
Statistics that indicate the sustained and international reach of the web-resources.
The establishment of a virtual community of ORM practitioners in the UK and beyond. Invitations to the project team to contribute to journal articles, book chapters and sit on the steering group of a national online survey of researchers as a result of their involvement in the project.

Attentional Control as a Predictor of Response to Psychological Treatment for Depression and Relapse up to 1 year After Treatment: A Pilot Cohort Study
J.E.J. Buckman, R. Saunders, P. Fearon, J. Leibowitz, S. Pilling
Journal: Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy / Volume 47 / Issue 3 / May 2019
Background: Identifying depressed patients unlikely to reach remission and those likely to relapse after reaching remission is of great importance, but there are few pre-treatment factors that can help clinicians predict prognosis and together these explain relatively little variance in treatment outcomes. Attentional control has shown promise in studies to date, but has not been investigated prospectively in routine clinical settings with depressed patients. Aims: This study aimed to pilot the use of a brief self-report measure of attentional control in routine care and investigate the associations between attentional control, psychological treatment response and relapse to depression up to 1 year post-treatment. Method: Depressed patients were recruited from two primary care psychological treatment (IAPT) services and completed the Attentional Control Scale (ACS) alongside routine symptom measures at every therapy session. Participants were tracked and followed up for 1 year post-treatment. Results: Baseline ACS scores were associated with remission and residual depressive symptoms post-treatment, and relapse within 12 months of ending treatment, all independent of pre-treatment depressive symptom severity, and the latter also independent of residual symptoms. Conclusion: A self-report measure of attentional control can potentially be used to predict levels of depressive symptoms post-treatment and can contribute to predicting risk of relapse to depression in IAPT services, without affecting rates of therapy completion/drop-out or data completion of standard IAPT measures. However, this pilot study had a small overall sample size and a very small number of observed relapses, so replication in a larger study is needed before firm conclusions can be made.
Effects of offering grass silage alone or in combination with lupin/triticale, lupin/wheat or pea/oat whole-crop silages on animal performance, meat quality and fatty acid composition of beef from cattle offered two levels of concentrate
P. C. Kennedy, L. E. R. Dawson, F. O. Lively, R. W. J. Steen, A. M. Fearon, B. W. Moss, D. J. Kilpatrick
Journal: The Journal of Agricultural Science / Volume 156 / Issue 8 / October 2018
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 January 2019, pp. 1017-1027
An experiment was carried out to examine the effects of offering beef cattle five silage diets. These were perennial ryegrass silage (PRGS) as the sole forage, tall fescue/perennial ryegrass silage (FGS) as the sole forage, PRGS in a 50:50 ratio on a dry matter (DM) basis with lupin/triticale silage (LTS), lupin/wheat silage (LWS) and pea/oat silage (POS). Each of the five silage diets was supplemented with 4 and 7 kg of concentrates/head/day in a five silages × two concentrate intakes factorial design. A total of 90 cattle were used in the 121-day experiment. The grass silages were of medium digestibility and were well preserved. The legume/cereal silages had high ammonia N, high acetic acid, low lactic acid, low butyric acid and low digestible organic matter concentrations (542, 562 and 502 g/kg DM for LTS, LWS and POS, respectively). Silage treatment did not significantly affect liveweight gain, carcass gain, carcass characteristics, the instrumental assessment of meat quality or fatty acid composition of the M. longissimus dorsi muscle. In view of the low yields of the legume/cereal crops, it is concluded that the inclusion of spring-sown legume/cereal silages in the diets of beef cattle is unlikely to be advantageous.
Effects of offering lupins/triticale and vetch/barley silages alone or in combination with grass silage on animal performance, meat quality and the fatty acid composition of lean meat from beef cattle
An experiment was carried out to examine the effects of offering beef steers grass silage (GS) as the sole forage, lupins/triticale silage (LTS) as the sole forage, a mixture of LTS and GS at a ratio of 70:30 on a dry matter (DM) basis, vetch/barley silage (VBS) as the sole forage, a mixture of VBS and GS at a ratio of 70:30 on a DM basis, giving a total of five silage diets. Each of the five silage diets was supplemented with 2 and 5 kg of concentrates/head/day in a 5 × 2 factorial design to evaluate the five silages at two levels of concentrate intake and to examine possible interactions between silage type and concentrate intake. A total of 80 beef steers were used in the 122-day experiment. The GS was well preserved while the whole crop cereal/legume silages had high ammonia-nitrogen (N) concentrations, low lactic acid concentrations and low butyric acid concentrations For GS, LTS, LTS/GS, VBS and VBS/GS, respectively, silage DM intakes were 6.5, 7.0, 7.2, 6.1 and 6.6 (s.e.d. 0.55) kg/day and live weight gains were 0.94, 0.72, 0.63, 0.65 and 0.73 (s.e.d. 0.076) kg/day. Silage type did not affect carcass fatness, the colour or tenderness of meat or the fatty acid composition of the intramuscular fat in the longissimus dorsi muscle.
Changing the milk supply to increase cheese yield: The Kaikoura experience
M. Boland, J. Hill, P. O'Connor
Journal: BSAP Occasional Publication / Volume 25 / 2000
This paper describes the steps that were taken to increase the productivity of a commercial cheese company by genetically altering the milk composition. These steps included validation of the effect of b–lactoglobulin polymorphism on casein production and cheese yield under typical New Zealand pastoral farming conditions, manufacture and ripening of cheese from single variant milks, selection of a suitable company to trial breeding for a single variant, development of a suitable payment scheme to reflect the additional value of the higher casein milk, development of a testing regime to support the payment system and getting buy–in from the company. These steps have all been taken, and the company has pursued the recommended breeding strategy for 3 years, purchased instrumentation and elected to move to the new testing and payment scheme for the current dairy season.
Duodenal infusion of conjugated linoleic acid mixture influences milk fat synthesis and milk CLA content in dairy cows
J. Kraft, P. Lebzien, G. Flachowsky, P. Möckel, G. Jahreis
Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are potent anticarcinogens secreted into the milk of ruminants. The present study was carried out to detect the post–ruminal effects of a duodenally infused commercial CLA product on milk–fat synthesis and fatty acid pattern in lactating cows. Four Holstein cows, fistulated with duodenal cannulae, were infused with 200 g of a CLA mixture daily into the duodenum over a period of 5 days (period II), while no application of CLA acted as controls in period I and III. In contrast to the marginal effect of the CLA application on milk yield, an obvious decrease of milk fat content of 40% was measured. The fat yield decreased during the infusion period to about half of the control period, whereas protein and lactose content in milk was not significantly influenced. The CLA percentage of milk fat increased sevenfold during infusion of the CLA supplement. The data demonstrate that duodenal infusion of CLA inhibits the milk fat synthesis, resulting in the decrease of milk fat content and fat yield. It can be concluded, that CLA supplements increase the CLA concentration in milk fat, which probably has to be rumen protected for oral administration.
Impact of genetic polymorphism on milk powder manufacture and processing
J. Hill, M. Boland, P. Harris, G. Paterson
Recombined milks manufactured from milk powders made from milk produced by b-lactoglobulin (b-LG) AA phenotype cows were not suitable for processing into ultra-heat-treated (UHT) milk products as these milks rapidly fouled heat exchanger surfaces when compared with standard mixed b-LG variant milk. Recombined milks manufactured from powders from b-LG BB phenotype milk generally gave low fouling rates upon UHT treatment and in some cases gave almost negligible fouling of UHT heat exchanger surfaces. Fresh milk from b-LG AA phenotype cows fouled evaporator preheaters more rapidly than standard milk, whereas fresh milk produced from b-LG BB phenotype cows fouled evaporator preheaters less rapidly than standard milk. Recombined milks manufactured from powders made with milk from k-casein (k-CN) BB phenotype cows fouled heat exchanger surfaces more rapidly than recombined milks manufactured from powders from milk from k-CN AA phenotype cows.
Antipsychotic treatment resistance in first-episode psychosis: prevalence, subtypes and predictors

Journal: Psychological Medicine / Volume 47 / Issue 11 / August 2017
We examined longitudinally the course and predictors of treatment resistance in a large cohort of first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients from initiation of antipsychotic treatment. We hypothesized that antipsychotic treatment resistance is: (a) present at illness onset; and (b) differentially associated with clinical and demographic factors.
The study sample comprised 323 FEP patients who were studied at first contact and at 10-year follow-up. We collated clinical information on severity of symptoms, antipsychotic medication and treatment adherence during the follow-up period to determine the presence, course and predictors of treatment resistance.
From the 23% of the patients, who were treatment resistant, 84% were treatment resistant from illness onset. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that diagnosis of schizophrenia, negative symptoms, younger age at onset, and longer duration of untreated psychosis predicted treatment resistance from illness onset.
The striking majority of treatment-resistant patients do not respond to first-line antipsychotic treatment even at time of FEP. Clinicians must be alert to this subgroup of patients and consider clozapine treatment as early as possible during the first presentation of psychosis.
Diagnostic change 10 years after a first episode of psychosis

Journal: Psychological Medicine / Volume 45 / Issue 13 / October 2015
A lack of an aetiologically based nosology classification has contributed to instability in psychiatric diagnoses over time. This study aimed to examine the diagnostic stability of psychosis diagnoses using data from an incidence sample of psychosis cases, followed up after 10 years and to examine those baseline variables which were associated with diagnostic change.
Data were examined from the ÆSOP and ÆSOP-10 studies, an incidence and follow-up study, respectively, of a population-based cohort of first-episode psychosis cases from two sites. Diagnosis was assigned using ICD-10 and DSM-IV-TR. Diagnostic change was examined using prospective and retrospective consistency. Baseline variables associated with change were examined using logistic regression and likelihood ratio tests.
Slightly more (59.6%) cases had the same baseline and lifetime ICD-10 diagnosis compared with DSM-IV-TR (55.3%), but prospective and retrospective consistency was similar. Schizophrenia, psychotic bipolar disorder and drug-induced psychosis were more prospectively consistent than other diagnoses. A substantial number of cases with other diagnoses at baseline (ICD-10, n = 61; DSM-IV-TR, n = 76) were classified as having schizophrenia at 10 years. Many variables were associated with change to schizophrenia but few with overall change in diagnosis.
Diagnoses other than schizophrenia should to be regarded as potentially provisional.
Reappraising the long-term course and outcome of psychotic disorders: the AESOP-10 study – CORRIGENDUM

Reappraising the long-term course and outcome of psychotic disorders: the AESOP-10 study
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2014, pp. 2713-2726
Studies of the long-term course and outcome of psychoses tend to focus on cohorts of prevalent cases. Such studies bias samples towards those with poor outcomes, which may distort our understanding of prognosis. Long-term follow-up studies of epidemiologically robust first-episode samples are rare.
AESOP-10 is a 10-year follow-up study of 557 individuals with a first episode of psychosis initially identified in two areas in the UK (South East London and Nottingham). Detailed information was collated on course and outcome in three domains (clinical, social and service use) from case records, informants and follow-up interviews.
At follow-up, of 532 incident cases identified, at baseline 37 (7%) had died, 29 (6%) had emigrated and eight (2%) were excluded. Of the remaining 458, 412 (90%) were traced and some information on follow-up was collated for 387 (85%). Most cases (265, 77%) experienced at least one period of sustained remission; at follow-up, 141 (46%) had been symptom free for at least 2 years. A majority (208, 72%) of cases had been employed for less than 25% of the follow-up period. The median number of hospital admissions, including at first presentation, was 2 [interquartile range (IQR) 1–4]; a majority (299, 88%) were admitted a least once and a minority (21, 6%) had 10 or more admissions. Overall, outcomes were worse for those with a non-affective diagnosis, for men and for those from South East London.
Sustained periods of symptom remission are usual following first presentation to mental health services for psychosis, including for those with a non-affective disorder; almost half recover.
Bilateral hippocampal increase following first-episode psychosis is associated with good clinical, functional and cognitive outcomes
J. M. Lappin, C. Morgan, S. Chalavi, K. D. Morgan, A. A. T. S. Reinders, P. Fearon, M. Heslin, J. Zanelli, P. B. Jones, R. M. Murray, P. Dazzan
Hippocampal pathology has been proposed to underlie clinical, functional and cognitive impairments in schizophrenia. The hippocampus is a highly plastic brain region; examining change in volume, or change bilaterally, over time, can advance understanding of the substrate of recovery in psychosis.
Magnetic resonance imaging and outcome data were collected at baseline and 6-year follow-up in 42 first-episode psychosis subjects and 32 matched controls, to investigate whether poorer outcomes are associated with loss of global matter and hippocampal volumes. Bilateral hippocampal increase (BHI) over time, as a marker of hippocampal plasticity was hypothesized to be associated with better outcomes. Regression analyses were performed on: (i) clinical and functional outcomes with grey matter volume change and BHI as predictor variables; and (ii) cognitive outcome with BHI as predictor.
BHI was present in 29% of psychosis participants. There was no significant grey matter loss over time in either patient or control groups. Less severe illness course and lesser symptom severity were associated with BHI, but not with grey matter change. Employment and global function were associated with BHI and with less grey matter loss. Superior delayed verbal recall was also associated with BHI.
BHI occurs in a minority of patients following their first psychotic episode and is associated with good outcome across clinical, functional and cognitive domains.
Modelling the interplay between childhood and adult adversity in pathways to psychosis: initial evidence from the AESOP study

There is evidence that a range of socio-environmental exposures is associated with an increased risk of psychosis. However, despite the fact that such factors probably combine in complex ways to increase risk, the majority of studies have tended to consider each exposure separately. In light of this, we sought to extend previous analyses of data from the AESOP (Aetiology and Ethnicity in Schizophrenia and Other Psychoses) study on childhood and adult markers of disadvantage to examine how they combine to increase risk of psychosis, testing both mediation (path) models and synergistic effects.
All patients with a first episode of psychosis who made contact with psychiatric services in defined catchment areas in London and Nottingham, UK (n = 390) and a series of community controls (n = 391) were included in the AESOP study. Data relating to clinical and social variables, including parental separation and loss, education and adult disadvantage, were collected from cases and controls.
There was evidence that the effect of separation from, but not death of, a parent in childhood on risk of psychosis was partially mediated through subsequent poor educational attainment (no qualifications), adult social disadvantage and, to a lesser degree, low self-esteem. In addition, there was strong evidence that separation from, but not death of, a parent combined synergistically with subsequent disadvantage to increase risk. These effects held for all ethnic groups in the sample.
Exposure to childhood and adult disadvantage may combine in complex ways to push some individuals along a predominantly sociodevelopmental pathway to psychosis.
Individualized prediction of illness course at the first psychotic episode: a support vector machine MRI study

To date, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has made little impact on the diagnosis and monitoring of psychoses in individual patients. In this study, we used a support vector machine (SVM) whole-brain classification approach to predict future illness course at the individual level from MRI data obtained at the first psychotic episode.
One hundred patients at their first psychotic episode and 91 healthy controls had an MRI scan. Patients were re-evaluated 6.2 years (s.d.=2.3) later, and were classified as having a continuous, episodic or intermediate illness course. Twenty-eight subjects with a continuous course were compared with 28 patients with an episodic course and with 28 healthy controls. We trained each SVM classifier independently for the following contrasts: continuous versus episodic, continuous versus healthy controls, and episodic versus healthy controls.
At baseline, patients with a continuous course were already distinguishable, with significance above chance level, from both patients with an episodic course (p=0.004, sensitivity=71, specificity=68) and healthy individuals (p=0.01, sensitivity=71, specificity=61). Patients with an episodic course could not be distinguished from healthy individuals. When patients with an intermediate outcome were classified according to the discriminating pattern episodic versus continuous, 74% of those who did not develop other episodes were classified as episodic, and 65% of those who did develop further episodes were classified as continuous (p=0.035).
We provide preliminary evidence of MRI application in the individualized prediction of future illness course, using a simple and automated SVM pipeline. When replicated and validated in larger groups, this could enable targeted clinical decisions based on imaging data.

Red meat from grass-fed animals, compared with concentrate-fed animals, contains increased concentrations of long-chain (LC) n-3 PUFA. However, the effects of red meat consumption from grass-fed animals on consumer blood concentrations of LC n-3 PUFA are unknown. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects on plasma and platelet LC n-3 PUFA status of consuming red meat produced from either grass-fed animals or concentrate-fed animals. A randomised, double-blinded, dietary intervention study was carried out for 4 weeks on healthy subjects who replaced their habitual red meat intake with three portions per week of red meat (beef and lamb) from animals offered a finishing diet of either grass or concentrate (n 20 consumers). Plasma and platelet fatty acid composition, dietary intake, blood pressure, and serum lipids and lipoproteins were analysed at baseline and post-intervention. Dietary intakes of total n-3 PUFA, as well as plasma and platelet concentrations of LC n-3 PUFA, were significantly higher in those subjects who consumed red meat from grass-fed animals compared with those who consumed red meat from concentrate-fed animals (P < 0·05). No significant differences in concentrations of serum cholesterol, TAG or blood pressure were observed between groups. Consuming red meat from grass-fed animals compared with concentrate-fed animals as part of the habitual diet can significantly increase consumer plasma and platelet LC n-3 PUFA status. As a result, red meat from grass-fed animals may contribute to dietary intakes of LC n-3 PUFA in populations where red meat is habitually consumed.

The varying impact of type, timing and frequency of exposure to childhood adversity on its association with adult psychotic disorder

Childhood adversity has been associated with onset of psychosis in adulthood but these studies have used only general definitions of this environmental risk indicator. Therefore, we sought to explore the prevalence of more specific adverse childhood experiences amongst those with and without psychotic disorders using detailed assessments in a large epidemiological case-control sample (AESOP).
Data were collected on 182 first-presentation psychosis cases and 246 geographically matched controls in two UK centres. Information relating to the timing and frequency of exposure to different types of childhood adversity (neglect, antipathy, physical and sexual abuse, local authority care, disrupted living arrangements and lack of supportive figure) was obtained using the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse Questionnaire.
Psychosis cases were three times more likely to report severe physical abuse from the mother that commenced prior to 12 years of age, even after adjustment for other significant forms of adversity and demographic confounders. A non-significant trend was also evident for greater prevalence of reported severe maternal antipathy amongst those with psychosis. Associations with maternal neglect and childhood sexual abuse disappeared after adjusting for maternal physical abuse and antipathy. Paternal maltreatment and other forms of adversity were not associated with psychosis nor was there evidence of a dose–response effect.
These findings suggest that only specific adverse childhood experiences are associated with psychotic disorders and only in a minority of cases. If replicated, this greater precision will ensure that research into the mechanisms underlying the pathway from childhood adversity to psychosis is more fruitful.
Differing patterns of brain structural abnormalities between black and white patients with their first episode of psychosis

African-Caribbean and black African people living in the UK are reported to have a higher incidence of diagnosed psychosis compared with white British people. It has been argued that this may be a consequence of misdiagnosis. If this is true they might be less likely to show the patterns of structural brain abnormalities reported in white British patients. The aim of this study therefore was to investigate whether there are differences in the prevalence of structural brain abnormalities in white and black first-episode psychosis patients.
We obtained dual-echo (proton density/T2-weighted) images from a sample of 75 first-episode psychosis patients and 68 healthy controls. We used high resolution magnetic resonance imaging and voxel-based methods of image analysis. Two separate analyses were conducted: (1) 34 white British patients were compared with 33 white British controls; (2) 41 African-Caribbean and black African patients were compared with 35 African-Caribbean and black African controls.
White British patients and African-Caribbean/black African patients had ventricular enlargement and increased lenticular nucleus volume compared with their respective ethnic controls. The African-Caribbean/black African patients also showed reduced global grey matter and increased lingual gyrus grey-matter volume. The white British patients had no regional or global grey-matter loss compared with their normal ethnic counterparts but showed increased grey matter in the left superior temporal lobe and right parahippocampal gyrus.
We found no evidence in support of our hypothesis. Indeed, the finding of reduced global grey-matter volume in the African-Caribbean/black African patients but not in the white British patients was contrary to our prediction.
Combining dimensional and categorical representation of psychosis: the way forward for DSM-V and ICD-11?
A. Demjaha, K. Morgan, C. Morgan, S. Landau, K. Dean, A. Reichenberg, P. Sham, P. Fearon, G. Hutchinson, P. B. Jones, R. M. Murray, P. Dazzan
There is good evidence that psychotic symptoms segregate into symptom dimensions. However, it is still unclear how these dimensions are associated with risk indicators and other clinical variables, and whether they have advantages over categorical diagnosis in clinical practice. We investigated symptom dimensions in a first-onset psychosis sample and examined their associations with risk indicators and clinical variables. We then examined the relationship of categorical diagnoses to the same variables.
We recruited 536 patients as part of a population-based, incidence study of psychosis. Psychopathology was assessed using the Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN). A principal axis factor analysis was performed on symptom scores. The relationship of dimension scores with risk indicators and with clinical variables was then examined employing regression analyses. Finally, regression models were compared to assess the contribution of dimensions versus diagnosis in explaining these variables.
Factor analysis gave rise to a five-factor solution of manic, reality distortion, negative, depressive and disorganization symptom dimensions. The scores of identified dimensions were differentially associated with specific variables. The manic dimension had the highest number of significant associations; strong correlations were observed with shorter duration of untreated psychosis, acute mode of onset and compulsory admission. Adding dimensional scores to diagnostic categories significantly increased the amount of variability explained in predicting these variables; the reverse was also true but to a lesser extent.
Categorical and dimensional representations of psychosis are complementary. Using both appears to be a promising strategy in conceptualising psychotic illnesses.

Founder Institute
Visit Founder Institute's website
The Founder Institute is the world's premier pre-seed startup accelerator, having helped launch over 3,500 companies across 180+ cities and six continents.
The company was founded in 2009 by serial entrepreneur Adeo Ressi and his colleague, Jonathan Greechan. The idea for the program spawned from operating TheFunded.com, where it became apparent that most entrepreneurs at the idea and launch stages lacked the structure, mentorship, and camaraderie needed to be successful.
News of the launch was announced on TechCrunch, the first Founder Institute program structure was crowdsourced by over 10,000 CEO members of TheFunded.com, and the inaugural program started in May 2009 in a small classroom at Stanford University. There were originally no plans to expand beyond Silicon Valley, but upon receiving immense inbound interest to launch the program in other cities, the Founder Institute began to expand. Today the program operates across 180 + cities and is localized into 9 languages.

Draw is on Branch Website.
Anyone got any thoughts on who might win, views on the draw and the way the draw was done?
Not sure I like the way the draw has been done to try and keep teams close (geographically) together.
it kind off takes the Cup feeling away from the competition where you used to head off into the unkown at the other end of the province to play a side you knew nothing about.
Boyne, Ratoath, Navan and Athboy could all end up playing each other twice in the next couple of weeks depending on final league positions.


Patient Jeremy and his mother created these videos to share their experiences in the Therasuit Method Intensive Program.
The Therasuit Method Intensive program was featured in the 2010 All Children's Hospital Telethon segment about outpatient services at the Hospital and outreach centers.
What is the Therasuit Method® Intensive Program?
Therasuit Method Intensive Program (sometimes called TMIP) is an intensive individualized therapy program that accelerates functional progress. The program uses the Therasuit® (a soft canvas suit with bungee-like cords attached) and the Universal Exercise Unit ("Spider Cage") to allow the child to learn new & correct patterns of movement through strengthening and functional skills practice. The Therasuit Program is ideal for those looking to meet functional goals at an accelerated rate as compared to traditional therapy.
Therasuit Method Intensive Program is currently offered at our Main Campus and Brandon locations. TheraSuit Method trained occupational therapists and physical therapists use this approach to develop an individualized treatment plan for each child. TMIP includes a three-hour session, five days a week, for three weeks.
Children with neurological conditions including Cerebral Palsy, developmental delay, traumatic brain injury, stroke, muscle tone disorders, spinal cord injury, Spina Bifida, etc.
Children in need of post-op rehabilitation such as post tendon releases, botox, rhizotomy, etc.
Contact Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital Main Campus at 727-767-4257 or Johns Hopkins All Children's Outpatient Care, Brandon at 813-436-5900 for an application.
Obtain a prescription for Intensive Occupational Therapy & Physical Therapy five times per week.
Once We Get Started, What Should I Expect?
The Therasuit Progam is 3-hours a day, 5 days a week (Monday through Friday) for 3 weeks.
Each session consists of approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes each of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy.
Therasuit Progam sessions include the use of heat and massage as well as other therapeutic techniques to assist in stretching and strengthening the muscles.
Therasuit Progam consists of three components: the Universal Exercise Unit, the Therasuit, and the "Spider"/Exercise Cage.
Therasuit Progam is an INTENSIVE therapy program. This program WILL CHALLENGE your child, helping them to make maximal gains in strength and function in a short amount of time.
WORK!! This is the key component of the Therasuit Program. Your child will be monitored closely and given necessary breaks for rest and a healthy snack/drink as provided by parent(s).
We have found in the past that children who participate in this program may initially respond with some resistance (i.e. crying and fussing). Although we monitor the child's response and adjust the progression of the program accordingly, we have found this to be difficult for some families. If this is the case, we may request that you leave the room for a period of time in order to help your child work through this stage.
When not participating directly in therapy, you are welcome to leave the waiting room and visit locations within walking distance of our department. In order for us to have immediate contact with you at all times, you must have a cell phone on your person and leave the number with the treating therapist. For the first two weeks you are not expected to attend the whole session each day with your child.
The last week of Therasuit Program, the caregiver is required to be available to attend each of the final five sessions to receive instruction on a tailored home program for your child.
