Going out in the cold without a coat can make you ill, according to landmark study
For generations, parents have been shouting the same warning to children dashing outside without a coat or with wet hair in freezing winter weather: 'You'll catch your death of cold.'
But is it just an old wives' tale, or can you really become ill simply from being exposed to a sharp drop in temperature, even for only a few minutes?
With the clocks going back this weekend to mark the end of British Summer Time, and some experts predicting the worst winter in 30 years, the affect of cold weather on the nation's health is a significant question.
The 'old wives' tale' about wrapping up warm — particularly around the head — to avoid illness may have been right all along
Prolonged exposure to cold — usually through poorly heated homes — kills an estimated 40,000 people in the UK every winter. Many die from heart attacks or strokes, triggered by sustained exposure to low indoor temperatures (18c or less), which makes their blood vessels constrict as the body tries to preserve its core temperature of around 36c to 37c.
This means the heart has to pump harder to force blood through narrowed blood vessels, driving up blood pressure and increasing the chances of death in those with existing heart problems.
But what has been less clear is whether simply popping out without a coat, or with wet hair, during cold weather puts healthy people at risk.
For many years, the rise in cold and flu instances during winter has been almost entirely attributed to the fact that we spend more time indoors in each other's company — giving viruses more opportunity to spread between us.
Now, while experts think this 'crowding' plays a part, a much bigger factor is the effect a sudden drop in air temperature has on the body's ability to fight off invading viruses.
A landmark study at Yale University, in the U.S., found that rhinoviruses — which cause the common cold — reproduce much more effectively when temperatures in the nasal cavity suddenly drop (in this case to around 33c from the usual body temperature of 37c).
This drop in temperature occurs in extremities such as the nose, when going from a warm house to the cold outside.
The 2015 study on mice revealed that viruses flourish at lower temperatures partly because the body's immune system is less able to produce the proteins needed to destroy the invading organisms when conditions are cooler.
Drop in temperature occurs in extremities such as the nose, when going from a warm house to the cold outside
In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, the researchers wrote: 'In general, the lower the temperature, the lower the immune response to viruses.'
In other words, the 'old wives' tale' about wrapping up warm — particularly around the head — to avoid illness may have been right all along.
'We know that when people spend more time indoors together, bugs spread,' says Professor Ron Eccles, from the Common Cold Centre at Cardiff University. 'But I don't believe that's the only reason for the increase in winter illness.
'Cold air makes the blood vessels throughout the body, including the hundreds of tiny vessels in the nasal cavity, constrict. This reduces the amount of blood — which delivers the infection-fighting immune cells — flowing into the area.
'This could be another reason why going out in the cold puts you more at risk, assuming you are actually carrying the cold virus already.' Standing still in the cold will increase the risk further, he adds.
'It's worse if you are stationary as you are not generating body heat, which keeps the blood vessels dilated and the nasal temperature higher.'
A drop in temperature also slows down movement of the cilia, tiny hair-like cells in the nasal cavity which transport mucus, and the bacteria and viruses it traps, out of the nose.
Viruses and bacteria thrive in this moist environment and, if they are not quickly 'moved along' by the swaying of the cilia, they can gain a foothold and cause an infection.
Professor Eccles believes there is a good reason for the age-old advice about wrapping up, as our ancestors were much more exposed to the elements than we are today as they travelled by foot or horse and would have been acutely aware of the affect cold weather could have on their health.
He advises: 'Cover your nose and mouth loosely when going into the cold, especially if you are prone to asthma or chest infections. This warms the air as it's inhaled.'
Professor Ian Pavord, a specialist in respiratory medicine at Oxford University, says cold air exposure is a common trigger for wheezing and breathlessness in people with asthma due to something called hyperresponsiveness. Put simply, their lungs are much more sensitive to a sudden change in temperature than a healthy person's airways.
'Scandinavian people deal with the cold a lot better than we do, by always wearing warm clothes, especially woolly hats, because the body loses most of its heat through the head,' says Professor Pavord.
Going out with wet hair in winter is 'a complete no-no', he warns, as the head loses heat rapidly. The body also starts to lose heat, which makes the head even colder, and the brain reduces blood supply to any part of the body not considered essential, such as the nose, so it can maintain the temperature of vital organs.
It has also been found to trigger painful sinuses, as well as posterior eye pain — a type of headache involving a sharp, temporary pain behind the eye.
A study in the journal Medical Hypotheses in 2012 revealed that this is all to do with the brain's automatic thermal regulation system, designed to protect the brain against extreme heat or cold.
Experts from the GATA Haydarpasa Training Hospital in Istanbul found that the double whammy of wet hair and freezing conditions causes blood vessels in the skull to dilate, triggering a rush of warm blood through the tiny blood vessels in the head, which can result in severe, sharp pain.
But it's not all bad news. In fact, popping outside for an hour or two on a cold day could potentially help protect against type 2 diabetes.
A 2017 study at Maastricht University in the Netherlands found that frequently moving from hot to cold speeds up the body's metabolism — the rate at which it burns calories — and improves sensitivity to the hormone insulin by more than 40 per cent.
If the body becomes less sensitive to insulin, or if it produces less of the hormone, this can lead to a build-up of glucose in the bloodstream and type 2 diabetes.
In tests, the scientists found that sudden exposure to colder temperatures for ten days in a row had as powerful an effect on patients with type 2 diabetes as some commonly used medicines.
Changing Traits
How our bodies have changed over time. This week: The vanishing arm muscle
Put your arm on the table palm face up. Touch your thumb to your little finger and flex your wrist. Can you see a band rising in your wrist? If so, you are one of the 80 per cent or so of the population who still has the palmaris longus muscle, which runs from the arm to the wrist. Don't fret if you don't have it, as it has no obvious purpose: it's thought to have become largely redundant since humans developed opposable thumbs. In fact, surgeons often graft this muscle elsewhere in the body following disease or trauma.
Quite why some people still have the muscle is a mystery: 'I suspect it's because there was no evolutionary imperative to get rid of them,' says Dr Michael Berthaume, a bioengineering research associate at Imperial College London.
Storing up trouble
The way you handle food can have effects for health. This week: Buy green tea in small packets
If you're an infrequent green tea drinker, you could find the healthy compounds for which you buy it have dramatically declined by the time you brew up.
Advised to buy small packs of green tea and keep them in an airtight tin. And use bottled water rather than tap to make your tea, as other research showed this doubled the epigallocatechin gallate content
A study in the Journal of Food Science found that levels of epigallocatechin gallate, the main antioxidant, which is thought to reduce inflammation and prevent cell damage that leads to disease, declined by 28 per cent within six months; other antioxidants fell by as much as 51 per cent.
Buy small packs and keep them in an airtight tin. And use bottled water rather than tap to make your tea, as other research showed this doubled the epigallocatechin gallate content.

Hang on Sloopy är en låt komponerad av Wes Farrell och Bert Berns, som först spelades in och utgavs av den amerikanska vokalgruppen The Vibrations 1964. Låten som först kallades "My Girl Sloopy" och hade något av en latinamerikansk rytm blev en smärre hit i USA där den nådde plats 26 på singellistan. Den är dock allra mest känd i gruppen The McCoys version från 1965, vilken blev en internationell hit. Den spelades också in av The Yardbirds samma år.

Gruppen The Strangeloves hade först tänkt spela in låten som uppföljare till deras hit "I Want Candy", men fick då veta att Dave Clark Five tänkt göra detsamma. Eftersom de inte ville ge ut låten då "I Want Candy" fortfarande sålde bra erbjöd de låten till Rick and the Raiders, med en tonårig Rick Derringer, då känd som Rick Zehringer, som hade agerat förband åt gruppen vid några konserter. Gruppen bytte namn till The McCoys, spelade in och gav ut låten, och i oktober 1965 nådde den förstaplatsen på amerikanska singellistan.

Rick Derringer gav 1975 ut en soloversion av låten, vilken kort gick in på Billboard-listan på plats 94.

Låten har senare blivit en slags officiell låt för delstaten Ohio, där The McCoys kom ifrån, populär vid  Ohio State University, idrottsevenemang och musikkårer ("marching bands").

3 responses to We Embrace The Outcast. We Welcome The Immigrant.
Don and Leslie–Thank you for your words of admonishment regarding the use of the statement, "We Welcome the Immigrant." I understand that in today's politically charged climate, it's easy for terms like this to be misconstrued. Let me first assure you that The Alliance takes no political view on this issue. The vast majority of those seeking refuge in our country are seeking to escape poverty, violence, and oppression that force them to seek a better life for themselves and their families. The positions expressed by The Alliance regarding the welcoming of immigrants and refugees are solely based on the gospel and on the C&MA's longstanding posture toward the overlooked and disenfranchised. It was an essential element our founder's vision as he reached out to the struggling, marginalized immigrant populations in New York City. Let me further assure you that the Alliance has never, nor currently encourages its churches or constituents to act in any way that would constitute a violation of our nation's current legislation. Having said that, I feel it to be a considerable leap to suggest that the statement, "We Welcome the Immigrant" implies that The Alliance "could be viewed as siding with the political forces and parties who are looking to advance the influx of illegals with the sole purpose of bolstering their ranks and establishing political strongholds that they need to advance their ideologies." Nothing stated by The Alliance has ever implied this, and I believe it to be a distortion of the intent of the phrase. If, however, I am wrong in that assumption, I welcome the perspective of others. If further clarity is needed regarding the Alliance posture toward refugees and immigrants, I would direct readers to the following link: https://www.cmalliance.org/news/2016/01/21/immigration-refugees-and-a-christian-response/ Contained in this response is the following statement: "While the [Christian Declaration on Caring for Refugees] acknowledges genuine security concerns and encourages governments to be stewards of safety, it also calls Christians to embrace refugees through their denominations, congregations, or other nonprofits by providing for immediate and long-term needs." In keeping with the clear gospel message, The Alliance remains fully committed to the care of overlooked, displaced, and disenfranchised populations in our own country and throughout the world.
Your statement, "We Welcome the Immigrant" can be construed as that you are encouraging illegal immigration. The Body of Christ MUST welcome EVERYONE. That should, and does, include those who break our laws and enter our country illegally. There are some of us in the CMA who believe that those actions pose a threat to the safety and security of our nation. I urge you to consider issuing a statement declaring that you are in support of LEGAL immigration. If not, you could be viewed as siding with the political forces and parties who are looking to advance the influx of illegals with the sole purpose of bolstering their ranks and establishing political strongholds that they need to advance their ideologies. Such political parties include groups who engage in public mayhem, vandalism, violence, physical attacks on those they disagree with, and domestic terrorism. Please be careful not to give the impression that you are turning the denomination into a political ally of those who engage in the heinous acts described above, and who often demonstrate hatred of the gospel message and biblical truth. In doing so, the day may come that the Bible, in order to be viewed as "acceptable" to those groups, must be in alignment with their worldly and ungodly ideologies, must be reedited to remove what they view as politically incorrect "hate speech," including Christ's message of salvation and scriptural definitions of morality.
We need to be clear in this day & age that we welcome the legal immigrants. Never those who enter unlawfully &/or for purposes of causing harm to citizens.


Would it be a new budgie or have you had it for awhile? Try giving him a little night light, birds do not have great night vision. It happened to one of mine once i just put a small night lamp on and after a few weeks he wasn't as afraid.
Could there be a possum in your roof stomping around and freaking them out? You've tried everything i would've suggested already. I had problems with night frights with my tiels, in the end i stopped it by only half covering the cage and giving them a night light.
I assume he is kept with the other 4 budgies you have too? Do you think it could be initiated from the other budgies in the cage?
Not casting aspersions here...dont get me wrong I had an issue in an outside cage once where those wood cockroaches used to hide in the seed spill trays under the cages and come out at night and freak the budgies out.
Nope no roaches either. My partner loathes them and she makes me kill them on site.
:ausb: hehe I gather you dislike roaches Elly? When I lived in New South Wales I had a large (About 2 inches) bush roach climb up my leg while I was in the shower.

'Deadpool' is officially rated R
By Devan Coggan
Joe Lederer
You can't spell "Merc with a Mouth" without an R.
The upcoming Deadpool movie, which stars Ryan Reynolds as everyone's favorite morally flexible superhero, has officially earned its R rating. According to the official Fox site for the film, the MPAA opted for the R due to "strong violence and language throughout, sexual content, and graphic nudity."
While most of your Marvel and DC adaptations come with a PG-13 rating, there is a small history of R-rated superheroes on screen. Sylvester Stallone's Judge Dredd earned an R back in 1995, and Wesley Snipes' Blade did the same in 1998. The Crow (1994), Watchmen (2009), and Kick-Ass (2010) all earned an R, too.
But over the past few years, most of the major superhero flicks have targeted a PG-13 rating, and when the Deadpool project was first announced, some feared that Wade Wilson's transition to the big screen meant toning down his penchant for sex, violence, and foul language. But since the beginning, both the cast and crew have reassured fans that the film would stay true to the tone of the comics, and Reynolds even made a foul-mouthed parody video with Mario Lopez last year addressing the subject.
"Deadpool is a hard R," producer Simon Kinberg told EW back in July. "It's graphic. Nothing is taboo. You either commit to a truly outrageous boundary-pushing kind of movie or you don't."
Deadpool will arrive in theaters on Feb. 12.

For today's bad press, I'm going to single out a certain Youtuber who goes by The Quartering even though he isn't the only offender here.
In case you haven't been paying attention to Youtube drama news over the past couple of days, an incident occurred last week after a user began streaming alpha footage of Anthem, the upcoming game by Electronic Arts. Anthem is still under a nondisclosure agreement, meaning anyone playing it is not allowed to talk about it or show it to the general public. These NDAs are very common in the gaming industry both for official testers and members of the press. I am personally under at least one NDA at any given time, usually in regards to timed press releases.
In this specific case, a number of Twitch users clipped a stream in which the user is booted from Anthem only to find that not only has EA revoked his copy of Anthem, but that his entire library is just gone. More interesting, it didn't seem that the user's account was banned, but just that his library was emptied by EA.
Cue the outrage, dial up the EA hate squad, and tell my wife I won't be coming home for dinner. An unknown user has posted video of an unverified story with unfounded accusations and generally no real evidence to back up the claim. When has anyone ever lied on the internet? Why wouldn't it make sense for EA to just wipe an account with no warning or notification, instead of simply banning the player? Did anyone receive confirmation that the guy even owned any games on the account? Did anyone follow up with the streamer? Did anyone follow up with Electronic Arts? Did anyone do any critical thinking or investigation whatsoever?
But the pesky concept of facts and evidence didn't stop Youtube channels like The Quartering and the internet's dramasphere from jumping on the drama with an overblown and arguably reckless disregard for the truth, with the headline "EA STEALS Players Entire Collection Over Anthem Alpha Stream!" What games did the user lose? I'm sure Jeremy can't tell you and hasn't performed any actual research outside of reading an article he found online. He even reads in the video that it is possible that Anthem was the sole item in the user's library but continues regardless with the baseless accusation that EA STOLE from him.
I'm singling out The Quartering mostly because of Jeremy's consistent advertisement of an Indiegogo campaign for Exclusively Games, a service that he is launching in order to get the politics out of games and focus on the games journalism. The campaign claims to be tired of "the same BS Hot Takes from our existing options in terms of video game news," and yet here's Jeremy. Making BS Hot Takes, putting out conclusive headlines with no real evidence. Imagine if he had, say, checked the user's stream and was able to find a clip where it showed prior to entering the game that there were no games in the user's account?
None of this changes the fact that EA would be within their rights to ban the user's account for violating the nondisclosure agreement, and that an account ban would be the least of the person's worries depending on the terms of the contract. But hey, everyone hates EA right now. Why bother putting in the basic amount of research or verifying the facts when few people are going to come to their defense?
Is this the kind of integrity that $68 grand buys?


Etymology is the study of word origins. Over time, words often change their meaning. Sometimes this is a result of natural usage in a changing world, as in the case of the word "goodbye", which started out as "God Be With You" (or "with Ye"). As the farewell utterance retained its usefulness even among people who grew less religious, the four original words lost their utility. In other cases, as highlighted by George Orwell in his book 1984, authorities manipulate words in order to place new meanings on ancient and valuable texts, common sayings, or other influential bits of language.
Deception is an instinctive tool creatures from bugs to humans use to improve the prospects of continuing their species. Most deception in nature happens between species, for example when a predator or prey accomplishes its goal by providing bad signals to its enemy. Camouflage is one good example. Human beings, however, often use deception on other members of our own species. Though this strategy tends to wane with age, wisdom, and maturity in most, there are certain kinds of people who employ the strategy of deception at an increasing rate as they get older and take on more responsibilities. This is because there is a sharp contrast between the group they favor privately and the group they favor publicly. Etymology is a useful tool for detecting and remedying the damage caused by such deception.
For those who occupy positions of influence, there is always the temptation to get people to believe things that aren`t true, or to look at things in a warped way. For example, when George W. Bush and his administration were pondering how best to protect the usefulness of the national currency against growing interest in using some other medium of exchange to trade oil, they concocted the story of "Weapons of Mass Destruction" to justify an attack on Iraq. It also seems likely that the destruction of the Word Trade Center Towers in 2001 was part of a "false flag" operation designed to justify the attack. There are many examples of such "false flag operations" throughout history. While the majority of the world`s population suffers from the outcomes of these deceptions, any exploration of crony capitalism, fascism, communism, or other government structures will show that they provide great benefits to those who are in power and to their friends and business associates.
Often, it isn`t clear whether a word`s changing meaning over time results from the intentions of authorities or from its natural course of usage among people. Indeed, such shifts in meaning are most often a result of the combination of these two factors. The very word authority " is a great example. It starts with the telling word, author ". These first six characters suggest that someone is creating a story, perhaps based on truth, or perhaps a complete fabrication; perhaps intentionally deceptive, or perhaps fiction intended for entertainment. In all cases, the audience of such an author chooses whether or not to pay attention to the story, and how much of it to believe.
In order for an author to become an authority, the audience must find value in the story, feel a growing respect for the wisdom of the author, and ultimately rely on the author for information, knowledge, and wisdom in some specific domain. I am tempted to call this "respect-based authority", but this is misleading. Authority is always and necessarily respect-based, and the "authorities" know this and struggle with it. Examine the material provided to schoolchildren about "the authorities". Rather than presenting the claims and writings of these power players so that the students can come to their own conclusions, the material starts with the conclusions desired by the authorities. History textbooks, the novels students read for English class, and even math textbooks are filled with examples insinuating and insisting that "the authorities" are wise and should be respected. Really, however, they are tyrants.
In "The Social Contract", Rousseau writes "In the exact sense, a tyrant is an individual who arrogates to himself the royal authority without having a right to it. This is how the Greeks understood the word `tyrant`: they applied it indifferently to good and bad princes whose authority was not legitimate." It is unclear from the English translation I have how he means the word "legitimate". Etymologically, "legitimate" comes from the Latin word for writing, but more specifically, the writing of law. This leads down a wonderful path our readers can explore on their own, along which they will meet Hammurabi, often cited as the first guy who wrote down the rules he would be enforcing. The modern meaning of "legitimate" does not require an author, but assumes that the real world is the measuring stick for legitimacy. For example, a "legitimate" argument cannot contain a logical error because such an error delegitimizes the argument. No author can legislate logic out of existence. A tyrant can, however, and that is the point here.
Authorities are valuable people who earn respect by knowing their subjects and providing help and advice to those who rely on them for the knowledge they hold. Tyrants the world over crave such respect and do everything in their power to enjoy its benefits. The essence of their tyranny, however, is not any written law or lack thereof, but the lack of the more modern kind of legitimacy: reasonable justification. When reason paints the tyrant as a tyrant, his true nature emerges through his reliance on coercion and violence. In his "Essay on the Trial By Jury", Lysander Spooner points out (and extensively defends) the fact that it is jurors` primary and paramount duty, to judge of the justice of the law, and to hold all laws invalid, that are, in their opinion, unjust or oppressive, and all persons guiltless in violating, or resisting the execution of, such laws.
Another example of etymology that is highly germane (at least in the United States of America) in the area of applying etymology to the ailments of the world is the word "income". Peter E. Hendrickson has written a wonderful website page explaining how this term has been abused outside of the law, while its meaning inside the law (from 1916) retains all manner of usefulness for those citizens of the USA who wish to understand the US Internal Revenue Code and avoid paying unnecessary taxes. His essay explains that the word at that time described passive income, and that it is now unofficially abused by tyrants (whom most would call "authorities") to deceptively maximize tax revenue. His essay is available at http://losthorizons.com/Documents/AllEconomicActivityIsNotIncome.htm.
With this in mind, this author urges you to help other people understand the difference between authority and tyranny, and to point out that an authority that relies on its brute force is not an authority, but rather a tyrant, incapable of relying exclusively on reason, as all genuine authorities must. To put it in a simpler light, if you are "writing your own story" and someone threatens you into changing it (perhaps with a "You may not grow/sell/transport that kind of plant/milk/chemical/monetary instrument/light bulb" or other such law), recognize that you are being controlled not by authority, but by tyranny, and complain loudly. This world needs a lot more voices complaining of the tyrannies under which it suffers.

Forever and Ever, Amen – Happy Anniversary Krista Vickery!
Today – July 1, 2012 – I celebrate my 23rd anniversary to a remarkable woman: Krista Vickery. By the time this post runs, we will be coming home from a Bed & Breakfast getaway in Buena Vista, CO at the Liar's Lodge.
Krista has been my best friend, companion, and #1 confidante for over 25 years. She took a young man who had no belief in the marriage institution – whose father died when he was four years old, but not before that father went through a divorce because his wife wanted to play while he was serving in Vietnam (she subsequently went through four marriages) – and made a believer out of him! She took a young man consumed by hatred, and made him cherish waking up each day and loving her more. I do not deserve the love and blessings I have in my life, yet I have them in great abundance. I may have a Type-A competitive personality, and still want to beat down any obstacles in my path, but I still lay my head on the pillow each night comfortable in the knowledge that this woman loves me unconditionally. And yes, my approach has softened over the years – and I attribute that acquired gentleness to having a good teacher in Krista Vickery.
If you are inclined, you can read more about our Love Story in last year's post: Happy Anniversary – Love of My Life – Krista Vickery. If you are interested in listening to heartfelt, poor guitar playing and singing, watch the video below. It's the thought that counts, and one of these days I will get Adobe Premier Elements to actually do what I want!
Here is my challenge to the readers. I could shout my love for this woman from the mountaintops here in Colorado. However, my audience would be the trees and forest animals. You can help me shout my love to the ends of the earth – via social sharing. I earnestly want people to know that special someone exists for everyone. Focus on sharing each small moment, having a willingness to compromise, laughing often, sharing successes, and leaning on each other during difficult times. You can read a few more of my personal tips in 12 Most Caffeinated Reasons for Coffee Time.
You too, can be blessed abundantly.
It has been an excellent weekend, Susan. Great couple nights at the Liar's Lodge Bed and Breakfast in Buena Vista, CO (I uploaded several pics to Instagram)…then seeing Krista enjoy this blog post and serenade video.
Brian, Happy Anniversary to you and your beautiful bride. What a wonderful tribute this is. Thank you so much for marking this special day by sharing more of your incredible lady and your life together with us. Your love for Kris and the way you so freely express it is beyond fabulous.
When I was reading your posts, my eyes started puddling up. By the time you finished serenading her, I completely lost.
Wishing you many, many more decades of laughing, loving and living in joyous harmony and good health..
Though I do not have many items on a bucket list, I have added meeting you and Kris and giving you both giant hugs. The glow of your love for Kris and your family makes me feel good.
Glad you liked the post and serenade, Janet. I sure appreciate the comment, and I definitely like that it "struck a chord". I've never thought that Krista and my relationship was "work" – it has always come naturally. Part of the reason is because we love spending time together and making each other laugh.
It also helps that we both love our girls to pieces…and playing tennis together ;).
I do hope we can all meet some day. Of course that means you need to find your way to Denver – or we need to get back to Hawaii! Either way works for me, so let's keep those hugs on the bucket list.
Congrats on the anniversary, man! And not to shabby on the guitar ;-D.
Thanks, Doug. Put simply, I think we just love celebrating life together. The anniversaries are wonderful, but we start and end each day with each other…and there are generally a lot of smiles and laughter involved (and perhaps a healthy dose of coffee or wine depending upon the time of day ;)).
Thanks for the comment on the guitar. I downloaded UltimateTabs on my iPad, so I need to get back to playing. There are a lot of great songs out there, and I love singing. I didn't say I was good, but I always bring plenty of heart!
Brian thanks for sharing. It really is amazing what unconditional love can do! I wish more people got it and understood. Congratulations on your anniversary!
Thanks for the kind words, Tanya. It is an unconditional love, but it sure seems easy when it is done right. Laughter and compromise go a long way! Then it seems like even the compromising becomes minimal as you both understand the other viewpoint and naturally find that middle ground before it even becomes an issue.
Congrats Brian! I've always loved that song and you did a great version of it for Krista. Love seeing couples who have been together a long time and really enjoy it!
Thanks, Janice. I sang that song to Krista outside her apartment bedroom window back in the late 80′s. I do not think my guitar playing has improved since. However, I do hope to start practicing more since I downloaded Ultimate Tabs for my iPad.
Yes, it has been a fun 25+ years together, and 23 years of marriage. We still make each other smile/laugh daily, and we love spending time together.
So sweet! I HATE SWEET…LOL…Congrats Brian and Krista…you're a bit past 1/3 of the way to my parent's 66 years of marriage. They're now gone, but their legacy of loves lives on!
BTW, I LOVE that song…which as you well know, was originally done by Randy Travis. It's beautiful..great choice!
Hah…yeah, I do SWEET only as it pertains to Krista. The rest of the time I work on being ornery ;). I do not listen to much country, but I have to admit that Randy Travis had a smooth voice! Krista and I got to see him live…as he was just hitting it big…at AquaFest in Austin.
Hopefully, we will get to celebrate 70+ years of marriage together, and I bet we still make each other smile/laugh. Nice to know your parents provided such a great model. We will try to carry the torch forward!

Rapporti con la Lazio

Sezione Calcio
Nella sezione calcistica della S.S. Lazio ricoprì diversi incarichi.
Nel 1965, a seguito dell'ennesima crisi economica della società biancoceleste, venne nominato commissario straordinario. Il fallimento venne evitato grazie all'opera di convincimento che intraprese con i calciatori, che accettarono la rinuncia e lo spalmamento di parte dell'ingaggio. In quel ruolo rimase cinque mesi sino all'arrivo di Umberto Lenzini. In quel periodo la compagine romana disputò nove incontri riuscendo a rimanere imbattuta.

Sotto la presidenza Lenzini ricoprì il ruolo di vicepresidente, occupandosi principalmente delle questioni finanziarie, badando alla stabilità economica della società, tuttavia partecipò attivamente, assieme al direttore sportivo Antonio Sbardella, ad alcune operazioni di mercato. Nel 1969 firmò a Milano i contratti di Giorgio Chinaglia e Pino Wilson, all'epoca di proprietà dell'Internapoli.

Il 23 luglio del 1981 venne nominato presidente della S.S. Lazio. Fin dall'inizio dovette affrontare molti problemi, infatti quando assunse l'incarico la squadra biancoceleste era stata da poco retrocessa in Serie B in seguito allo scandalo del Totonero.
Sotto la sua gestione la Lazio ottenne prima un 10º posto, nella stagione 1981-82, giungendo poi alla promozione in Serie A nel campionato seguente quando la Lazio ottenne il secondo posto in classifica alle spalle del .

Nel 1983 lascia la presidenza a Giorgio Chinaglia, rimanendo comunque in società.

Nel 2004 a seguito della crisi economica della Lazio fu uno degli artefici de Lazionista, operazione economica che promosse sottoscrizioni di capitale sociale dirette o indirette della Lazio quotata in borsa. L'operazione fu un successo, infatti, nonostante le pessime prospettive economiche legate all'investimento, circa 5000 famiglie di tifosi laziali raccolsero oltre 1,5 milioni di euro. Fu anche grazie a questo contributo che la società condusse in porto l'aumento di capitale che permise l'iscrizione della squadra al campionato di calcio di Serie A 2004-05.

Sezione Pallavolo
Gian Chiarion Casoni fu uno degli artefici, nel 1951, con Renato Marsicola, Giovanni Jommi e Ernesto Calcagni della fondazione della sezione pallavolo della S.S. Lazio. Ricoprendo dapprima il ruolo di vicepresidente e divenendo in seguito più volte presidente.

Sezione Pallamano
Nel 1992 viene nominato presidente della sezione pallamano della S.S. Lazio. Sotto la sua gestione la Lazio ebbe il suo miglior periodo, infatti quell'anno in campionato giunse quarta in classifica sfiorando di poco la conquista dello Scudetto nei play off. Nel 1996 quando la squadra militava nel campionato di Serie A2 abbandonò la presidenza a Giuseppe Langiano.

Former Wayland AD accused of larceny headed to trial
By Norman Miller/Daily News Staff
Former Wayland Public Schools Athletic Director Stephen Cass is scheduled to go to trial in March on allegations he stole a school department computer earlier this year.
Cass' lawyer, Gerard Malone, asked Judge Martine Carroll for the earliest available jury trial date for his client.
"These charges have put his life on hold," Malone said.
The trial is scheduled for March 17.
Wayland Police arrested Cass, 49, at his 21 Woodland Road home in Wayland on Oct. 26. Authorities said Cass, whose contract was not renewed, never returned a school laptop computer, despite repeatedly being asked. Cass has said an IT department worker told him he could keep the "junk" computer.
Cass, after his Oct. 26 Framingham District Court warrant, said he was only arrested in retaliation for making allegations about wrongs in the athletic department. He said volunteers who had not undergone criminal background checks were allowed to coach, parents were paying coaches under the table and the school spent more on boys' sports teams than girls' teams.
Cass is charged with larceny of property worth more than $250 and receiving stolen property worth more than $250.
After Friday's hearing, Cass referred comment to Malone, who would only say that "We're looking forward to our day in court."
In court on Friday, several Wayland residents came to court to support Cass.
"He had no business being arrested," Cynthia Hill said.
Her husband, David Hill, said, "I'm here to support Stephen Cass. I'm here to let him know there are people in the town of Wayland who support him. I'm here to give him moral support."

One wedding and a baby later! How Mark Wales and Sam Gash found true love on Survivor
The pair are set to compete on Australian Survivor: Blood v Water after falling in love on season 2 of the reality series. - by Jessica Lynch
Hunky Survivor contestant Mark Wales originally wanted to be on The Bachelor Australia but as fate would have it, the girl of his dreams showed up when he least expected it.
WATCH: Sam Gash surprised with hilarious life-size cutout of Mark Wales during her hens
Appearing on season two of Survivor back in 2017, Mark was paired with fellow contestant Sam Gash in tribe Asaga - and the duo hit it off immediately.
"We had a great connection on the island and got along really well, it was such a unique experience," they said at the time.
The pair have since welcomed a son, Henry.
"We formed a strong alliance in the game, which was obviously seen as a threat to others."
Fast forward to 2022 and the pair have celebrated a slew of milestones, including welcoming their first child, Harry, in 2018.
"We love being parents," Samantha and Mark revealed previously to Now to Love.
"He's very chilled, he just goes along for the ride," added Samantha.
"He's got such a calm personality, he's even calmed me down a lot," she continued.
Sam said Henry was "chilled" as a bub.
The Survivor sweethearts then went on to tie the knot at the Log Cabin Ranch at Monbulk in Victoria in December 2019, two years after meeting on the Channel 10 reality show.
"We had such a magical weekend," the pair told New Idea following the nuptials.
"The ceremony was in the stables and it had a candlelit-style vibe with exposed panelling; really simple with native gum leaves and mismatched chairs.
"I walked down the aisle to Matt Corby's song 'Resolution', which we love. It was the song that was playing a lot before Mark proposed to me."
The pair were married
The newlyweds wanted to make sure their special day paid tribute to their Australian Survivor roots, after the pair met and fell in love in Samoa.
Officiating the ceremony was fellow contestant and on-screen rival Jacqui Patterson, and Jarrad Seng – another Survivor cast member – was the wedding photographer.
Other tribe members were also invited, including Aaron 'AK' Knight, Luke Toki, Jericho Malabonga and Aimee Stanton.
"[The contestants] have played such a big part in our relationship, and the entire cast have been incredibly supportive of the two of us and our relationship from day one," Sam said.
WATCH: First Look At Australian Survivor: Blood V Water (Article continues after video)
"They've known us for the shortest period of our lives, but they were there when we got together, so they hold a special part in our lives.
"There were references to how we met through Survivor, it was brought up in a lot of the speeches.
"During Jacqui's speech, she pulled up a piece of cardboard and said:
'I might have voted these guys out, but today I'm voting for Sam and Mark'."
Sam's floor-length gown was designed by Rachel Gilbert, with long-sleeves and intricate beading throughout the fabric. Mark wore a cream-coloured suit by M. J. Bale.
Many of the speeches made reference to the pair meeting on Survivor.
Jarrad Seng
"A lot of the focus of our wedding, particularly during the reception time, was on the speeches," Sam said.
"We wanted for all our guests to know how meaningful they are in our lives."
Of course, Harry stole the show when he walked down the aisle before his mum, with the proud parents saying it was important for their boy to play a part in his mum and dad's wedding
"Harry walked down the aisle, and being a toddler, they don't act on cue! [But] we didn't want to have too much curation. It was going to flow however it would flow. Whatever happens in-between, we let it be," Sam added.
Henry stole the show at the couple's wedding
Even though neither of them won Survivor, the bride and groom agree they gained something much more special – love. It was a unique experience that took Sam and Mark from alliances and tribal councils to having a baby and marrying each other in front of their nearest and dearest.
"I never thought [it would happen]. I was living in New York, I was going to do the show and go home," Mark remembered.
Sam added: "It was unique but what was unique about it was it completely transformed our personal lives."
With their family life as happy as ever, the pair have now been given a second chance to take out the prize money as a pair in Australian Survivor: Blood V Water, which is set to premiere on January 31st.
"Playing Survivor with your spouse is a very dangerous idea. But the good thing is, if one of us wins, we both win," Mark said.

Knee-jerk altruism
Women are more generous than men—if they're in a hurry.
By Melanie Asmar | May/Jun 2016
Gregory Nemec
Are people more altruistic when they act on instinct, or when they stop and think? To find out, researchers analyzed 22 experiments in which people were given real money and were given the chance to share it with a stranger.
The results were different for men and women. Multiple experiments found that when women relied on their intuition—that is, when they had to make the decision quickly—they were more likely to share the money. When women were told to deliberate, more decided to keep the money. Those women were more likely to self-identify with typically masculine traits, such as dominance and independence, than with typically feminine traits such as warmth and tenderness. Men, on the other hand, were more likely to keep the money for themselves, regardless of how much time they had to think or what traits they identified with.
David Rand, an associate professor of psychology, economics, and management at Yale, coauthored the analysis for the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. He suggests that the differences between men and women may be based on social pressure. "There are a lot of societal expectations that women will act in an altruistic way—and when they don't, they receive backlash," he says. "So it makes sense that women should internalize behaving altruistically as their default."

I skipped breakfast and decided to go on a morning walk before meeting up with Mark. I said bye to my host family and went off into the neighborhood for a walk. Once again, I saw more quaint little homes that I adored.
There were train tracks in the middle of the neighborhood which I thought was odd. The tracks looked so old that I wasn't sure if they were in use anymore.
After walking around several blocks, I noticed from my peripheral vision that a car was following me. I avoided eye contact with the car and tried to play it cool. They were driving so slowly next to me that I had to look up out of curiosity. It ended up being my host family in the car. Ha! I didn't realize that I was walking back towards their house. The lady asked if I needed a ride or if I was lost. I told her, "Oh no! I'm exercising!" I didn't know how else to explain exercising to her so I just moved my arms back and forth. She laughed and then drove off. Language barrier, I love it! That was somewhat sarcasm but not. It's kind of fun trying to figure out how to communicate effectively when there's no common language.
When Mark picked me up, we were off to Saint Paul! Whee! We grabbed lunch at a popular dive bar called The Nook.
Yelp gives them 4.5 stars with more than 450 reviews. This little place gets packed pretty quickly because of how good the food is and the service too! It's such a popular place that even Guy Fieri from Food Network has made a visit here!
The Nook is known for their Homemade Wisconsin Cheese Curds for $7.95 that is always at the State Fair. What State Fair? Apparently, people in Minnesota will take time off from work and take their whole family to the State Fair! It's a big deal there! Here in Southern California, we have county fairs. We don't necessarily plan to go until the week before or maybe even until the day of!
So we started off with these finger food, deep fried cheese curds that were awesome! There was a crispy texture on the outside like onion rings or tater tots.
Then the inside was all cheesy like a mozzarella stick.
These little poppers can be addicting and fill you up easily so make sure to share!
For the real meal deal, I ordered their one of a kind Juicy Nookie Burger that is a stuffed cheeseburger served only as medium for $9.25.
Dun, dun, dun! The patty was stuffed with cheese that was oozing out of it! The waiter told me that I had to wait for the burger cool down or else I would burn myself! Even after I waited for a few minutes, it was still pretty hot but it was darn good!
With the cheese curd and this burger, it's really best to eat them when they're fresh. Once it's cold, it's just not the same. Eating these two can be pretty heavy and savory, so make sure to treat yourself to some salad or some sweets to balance things out.
So we did just that! We got some sweets from Cossetta. I got myself a mini peanut butter chocolate brownie cake and a mini chocolate covered cheesecake. They were both pretty rich and sweet but it evened out our tastebuds from lunch. The bakery is a little pricey but the presentation and quality makes it worth the purchase.
Check out Cossetta if you want to make a one stop Italian shop. For example, they have a bakery, market, casual dining and a fancy restaurant all in one building! They have 4 out of 5 stars with more than 300 reviews on Yelp.
Ok, enough about food for now. We went to Cathedral of Saint Paul where it brought back memories of when I went to Europe.
It was peaceful to just sit there in the empty cathedral and be in awe of this building. We sat there and listened to the organist practice playing and then walked around the cathedral.
I think no matter how many cathedrals I've been to, I'll always be amazed of its intricate artwork displayed in the stained glass windows or the sculptures of Jesus on the cross.
We went to Minnehaha Park for a mini walk. Minne what? Minnie-ha-ha. Yup, that's the name of the park. I know, I was confused too. This isn't your everyday park with a playground. It has the Minnehaha Fall that is a 53 foot waterfall. This Minnehaha Park is on Minnehaha Creek that connects to the Mississippi River.
We hiked until we saw the end of the Minnehaha Creek.
In the picture below, the left side is where the Mississippi River merges with the Minnehaha Creek from the right side.
I was definitely so much closer to the Mississippi River once I got here! On our way back, I saw these naked trees! They looked so eerie since they had no leaves!
By the time we got back to our car, the temperature had dropped down pretty drastically. I saw a group of kids running in shorts around this park! I have no idea how they were running in that kind of attire in 30 degrees weather! Minnesotans are so strong!
After the park, we had some time to kill before dinner so we went back to Minneapolis to check out a museum called Walker Art Center. Thanks to Target admission was free! This art gallery has 4 stars with 129 reviews on Yelp.
There were some artworks that may have seem a little too explicit where viewers' discretion may be advised, but overall, the museum had some eccentric artwork that I myself would have never imagined could be created.
Afterwards we went to Fulton Brewery that has 4 stars with 69 reviews on Yelp. This brewery is in a warehouse where it has a pretty young and hip vibe to it. It's a great place to hang out with friends after work to relax and have some beer. You can play a bunch of card games or board games with your friends which is just what Mark and I did. We played a few games of Scrabble. I don't know any places that lets you play some classic board games while you drink beer in this kind of environment. Fulton Brewery actually reminded me of the American version of boba shops. People go to boba shops to drink milk tea and play board games! Well, at least in SoCal. Anyways, sorry I somewhat got sidetracked.
Outside of Fulton Brewery there was Hibachi Daruma, a Japanese teppanyaki food truck. Teppanyaki basically means using iron griddle to cook food. Because we didn't want to drive elsewhere for food, we decided to get some food truck food. So I just got myself a simple beef teriyaki with rice and veggies for $9. There was a sweet and juicy flavor from the teriyaki sauce and the beef was perfectly cooked. It did the job of filling me up and keeping me warm!
One last thing we did after dinner was to drop off my post cards! We had the hardest time finding a mailbox throughout the day for some odd reason but thank you Cub Foods for having a mailbox in front of your market!
Thank you so much Mark for showing me around in Saint Paul and Minneapolis! I didn't know Minnesota had so much beauty and soul to it! I'm going to miss the cold weather, the food, and the people!
Happy 128th birthday Yosemite National Park! You're aging pretty well.
9,931 feet in elevation. 14 miles round trip. 12 hours to finish.
And that's a wrap. Competition season is over. We had our last competition today - Showstopers National Finals. We got this nice big trophy for first overall.

The iACD Journal of Interdisciplinary Dentistry is a peer-reviewed journal published by the International Academy of Contemporary Dentistry (iACD). A quarterly online publication schedule to publish in 2018. The journal's primary goal is to advance the field of dentistry through curating content that is academically rigorous and of value to the international community of dental scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders.
Commitment to maintain free and open access of all journal content and archives to all iACD members.
The inaugural issue of the iACD Journal will feature the works of dental scholars in Chinese, English, and Japanese. As the capacity of the journal's editorial board expands, articles written in other languages will be incorporated to make iACD Journal truly a publication for a global audience.
The iACD Journal is born out of iACD's vision to bring together the East and the West in the field of modern Dental Medicine. In recent decades, dentistry in non-Western countries such as China, Korea, and Japan has grown into a mature discipline with its own teaching faculties at renowned institutions. Asian-language academic journals have been established to enable dental scholars in the East to share their research among their peers. Unfortunately, this means scholarship of excellent caliber from both the East and the West do not often cross-pollinate aside from a few translated articles. And while exchanges of ideas can and do take place during academic conferences and symposiums, dialogues at such events tend to favor those who can communicate in English. The time is ripe for a truly mutual, East-West exchange of research findings within a single academic journal.
More details will be followed soon.
The International Academy of Contemporary Dentistry is the first professional dental association in the world to provide culturally specific services from bilingual & bicultural Asian dental professionals.
Our Mission : To provide a multidisciplinary oral health education platform for dentists with the desire to better the quality of life of their patients by improving both their oral care and their long-term physical health.
