Little wants to win place on Le Clown's blog…!!!!
Little is high on weekend and has spent all day smiling while listening to Hello (last night's song) because she slept. She still need more sleep but last night's early light-off was good. Going for Pj party at my badminton friend's place. Lots of good food and back to back last two PLL episodes.
Funny thing while i spent all week snapping at silly things today i went to license office and came back home empty handed (government offices are unhappy places with very crazy people) yet i was all cheerful all day. I was like "never mind".
Since i am leaving in 5 minutes, i would like to leave you guys with link to the magnificent Le Clown's blog. Need my blog friends to vote for me so i can earn my place on the blog master's blogroll (hey Le Clown does calling you magnificent and blog master earns me any noses? 😉 ). Vote for me people with a plain and simple Like. and enjoy the fun challenge he has put up.
Time to get ready for a long night…Goodnight world…!!!!
Hulk is angry, Hulk wants to sleep…!!!!
So my sleepless week has driven me to edge of craziness and today was a fine example of it. Dammit! Little self control dude. Anyhow, i better go early tonight because i have a very long day tomorrow and then the slumber party which means no sleep again. Where is Saturday man? i need Saturday and Sunday so i can sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep. Phew!
She has a happy place…!!!!
Of freedom she can have no more…!!!!
Krypton suffering from technical issues…!!!!
Wrote a post on my laptop and lost access to internet…so wishing you all goodnight from my blackberry. See you tomorrow.
Song for the day – love you like a love song by Selena Gomez!!
Being a Super Hero is not an option…!!!!
So I have a question today? I mean my mind has a question only I can't really decide what to say in reply. Does truth really sets you free? Does it? Does knowing what is real makes thing better? Does it makes you fight easily and get through the war more comfortably? Or does knowing truth makes it more painful and difficult?
I don't know what really it means when they say "truth sets you free". I wish there was someone I could ask. Anyhow, how does it even matter to me? I mean I already know everything, the whole future thing. People say they can't see future, I say bummer I can. Haa!! But seriously, why do they truth sets you free?
Today for some reason I was thinking of this guy who liked me but i had to say no to him. Now that I think of it I think I did him a favour, I saved him from years of misery. I'm a super hero you know. I really do save the day only people don't see it. dammit!
Sometimes I wish I had a person I could sit with and talk to, but I can't. Not that I don't have people to talk, I have an army of awesome people ready to listen to me and give me my I-am-in-pain-save-me hug only I can't talk. Sharing is like stirring up a silent pool of muddy things, it takes time for it all to settle and till then all you crave for is to shake it up and spill it out every day, every second. While at first it's good, it is, but then it starts leaving strain on you and everyone you have included in the pool.
Also, not every story deserves a listener. Some of us have no option but to hide the Peter Parker inside us and wear the mask, even in-front of people who know us.
Hmm…This is boring…Lying and hiding makes life so much fun.
You should have met me few years back…!!!!
Somebody remind me why I stopped watching Nikita? Oh yes I got busy with other shows. This is a perfect example of "Out of sight, out of mind" thing. It happens you know; only exceptional people can fight this theory.
Anyhow, so back to Nikita. My friend and I have planned another slumber party for coming Friday, as we plan to watch two back to back PLL episodes including the grand mid-season finale with lots of good food. We both are totally into PLL and came up with this whole idea of finishing last two episodes together with popcorn, pasta and other nice nice stuff. So she banned me from watching PLL's remaining episode alone and I had to do something to pass the day. This is what happens when you don't have the thing you want, you start looking for comfort in other stuff. I found Nikita's season 2 folders and now I can't stop myself from watching it. I have been watching it back to back now and am almost on verge of finishing S2.
Dammit! Now I have to wait till October for all my shows to return and Nikita has been added to the list too. I don't know how I got distracted with other shows and left this one unattended after its first season. I love the team Nikita, Alex, Michael and Berkoff. The whole silent friendship and mentor student relationship between Nikita and Alex makes me sort of emotional. Fact that Nikita loves every member of her team and is ready to save their asses anytime without fearing her life is so damn cool.
Man I love fiction, books or TV; I just love the whole ability to enter a different world for a while. I mean don't we just end up being the best buddy of the main guy or lead girl and wish everything would happen right for him or her, get sad when one of the character gets hurt or dies and feel the confusion when everything is messed up in the life of the characters. Or maybe it's just me. That could be the case, after all I'm tend to take solace in fiction to feel things I can't feel in real life.
Yesterday while I was working on Dominique to upload the page, I almost uploaded one of the main pages the one that gives you a major introduction to the protagonist but I didn't. I don't want judgements on Dominique, I can't take criticism on this one because it is something I'm writing for me and knowing that what I'm writing is being disliked would make me stop. I know I shouldn't care because I m writing it for personal reasons and also to prove myself that can finish a story. I'm not sure what's stopping me or maybe I do. I always know.
Tomorrow I have a lunch plan with old college girls and I can't avoid this one. Though I would love to, but I have already avoided so many such occasions that at one point you can't do a thing but give your presence for sake of leverage you get in order to avoid next 5 such occasion. You just have to attend one social gathering and then ignore next five saying 'hey I loved it last time, only I wish I could make it'. I have utilized all my leverages and now I can't ignore tomorrow's lunch.
My badminton friend is also my college friend and she knows how badly I want to not go, but then the best she can do is try to get us out of there asap. It is hard for me to explain why I'm scared of being a part of a circle I once enjoyed. Mostly it's the questions about life and work.
What you are still working at same place?
Why don't you look for a new job?
So what are your plans now?
What is up with you? You don't call or meet?
Why don't you come for a get together anymore?
Believe me I have answers for each of them, only they are as much messed up as I'm which means they won't sound like answers to them.
Let me share another theory of life with you – happy people do not get things, no matter how messed up they are for you. A person who is happy is colour blind to twisted darkness. I do not wish to disrespect anyone because I wish to be a part of team happy too.
Anyhow, I will go and present the best of me with lots of smiles and excuses to dodge rising eyebrows, lots of "WHY" questions and silent "She is weird" head shrugs. How do I get myself into these lunches anyways? O I forgot I was once social. Dammit Little!
Do you guys think I'm crazy? Maybe I'm crazy. Reminds me of Damon Salvatore's line from Vampire Dairies when he said to Elena "You should have met me in 1864, you would have liked me".
You guys should have met me few years back, you would have liked me. I am sure, maybe, I think so…I hope so!!
Every time I thought that it was the last time I was seeing Kristine I ended up being wrong. Two days later, I went for lunch with Annie to a Terrace cafe.
"I think you should have said yes for the road trip" Annie said. I told her all about Kristine and Tim.
"Nah! I don't know. I really don't think I should be making any plans. I Have no time." I didn't look up and pretended I was busy searching something in the menu card. I knew it's not easy to lie to her. Mike and Annie just knew when I was lying.
"Dom? Hey hi" Kristine was standing next to me dressed in a waitress uniform with a notepad in her hand and a pen.
"Just working my shift. I work here on weekdays for 2 hours every day" she looked around "could I get you two ladies something to eat or drink?" she was smiling and for a change was very polite. Am I dreaming? Was what I wanted to ask myself out loud but I didn't.
"Ah yes! I um I think I will have Mac and Cheese" why are you working here? You have a Lexus. I stopped myself from asking thousands of questions running through my mind.
Few minutes later our order was in the table but there was no sign of Kristine. She wasn't around and I couldn't find her around other tables. Annie and I enjoyed our lunch talking about her pregnancy, my plans for my medical exam, Mike and Mike. We even planned a trip to her parent's lake house next month, when Mike was taking few days off from his classes. I promised Annie I would shift with them once the baby is here because I wouldn't let her be on her own. We joked about various baby names we did not wanted and how Mike found them pleasing. All this time something was nagging me but I just couldn't put a finger on it. Only when I was saw Kristine again I realised what it was.
I escorted Annie to her taxi and was walking towards the parking when I realised I left my bike keys on the table. I ran back and found them at the reception counter's lost and found section.
I wasn't sure what I was going to talk to about, but I couldn't help the feeling nagging me for past one hour. Dressed in her denims and t-shirt, she was standing on the terrace corner smoking. She looked like any other customer.
"Decorate and get takeaways…I can't cook" and we both started laughing.
While I may never find my dawn, but today I found a street light and I'm going to hold onto it for as long as possible. Those who have been reading my posts for last few days, know how broken and blue I have been feeling and how I didn't wanted to do anything but stay inside my room on my birthday. But I never thought becoming 27 was going to be so awesome.
Since midnight yesterday I have been getting surprises and surprises and surprises. Right now I'm so happy and overwhelmed that I wish to cry (happy tears) but am too exhausted to do so. Phew! What a day. Believe me I thought, okay will meet my friends, eat something nice, sit somewhere nice and come back home. But little did I know my friends had something else planned for me. Not only did I get loads of gifts, I was treated like a queen.
When the clock struck midnight declaring 23rd august my family gifted me a HCL tablet and believe me I was like "Whoa!", because I always wanted one of these gadgets only I knew I would never buy and never ask for. Then I get up to so many calls and wishes. One of my best friends is back in India for few days (she was in Minneapolis) and so I was like will meet her on my birthday. We talked on phone and planned a meet. Little did I know what she had planned, for me. She took me shopping for my birthday…yay! Then we sat, we talked and we ate. I was so happy to see her, I missed her a lot. She is awesome, not only does she treats me like a little kid sister she also introduces me to things I would never do or know on my own. She is like a style icon.
So I'm happy with the day, because I met my awesome friend and we did shopping and had great time together. Now plan is simple, meet my badminton friend, then meet my office friend and finally a dinner with my parents somewhere nice. But here is the problem.
Me: Hey where are you? Are you coming? Should I meet you somewhere?
Me: really you are busy? but its my birthday?
I'm like little confused because now things aren't going the way I had planned. So now I have some time to rest before I meet my office friend. I'm waiting and waiting but he won't get free from work.
And then I'm sitting out in my balcony wondering how my awesome afternoon has turned into a lame evening. And then finally he calls and asks me to meet him. I get up, pick my keys and drive. I meet him, we talk and he gives a gift and asks me to open it once we are sitting inside. I'm happy again. So I walk inside unaware of what's coming. As we walk this guy from cafe wishes me happy birthday and presents me with flowers. I smile at my friend because I thought this was nice of him to ask the cafe guys to wish me with the flowers, he got for me. And as I walk towards the corner of the cafe (where we plan to sit) I see balloons lots and lots and lots of it. I see cake, I see gifts and then suddenly I hear SURPRISE and there is my badminton friend and my brother (who also mysteriously disappeared from home in evening).
My two friends and my brother planned all this for me, without letting me know. My best friend and mentor who isn't in city knew and my mom knew. It was like a great evening. Though I did miss my best friend and mentor, if only she was here.
To be honest i needed this day, i needed so much of excitement and surprises. The kind of breakdown i had last week, i needed this so badly. My life wont go the way i want, but today was like life was telling me "You are screwed baby but don't worry there are people who love you".
Like they say every night is a sign of a dawn, while I may not get mine but I did get a nice day after yesterday's darkness. What happened yesterday was nothing but a close meet with a major fact of my life that won't change, so why sulk and ruin it all. Today is another day and a better one. I woke up to a beautiful rainy morning with a pleasant weather and thanks to my early-to-bed routine I was all active and fresh and enjoying the work pressure.
But there is another reason why I'm smiling right now. Its 1:50 are and that means my birthday has just begun. While I wasn't looking forward to my birthday much, I guess its going to change because already nice things have started to happen. I will give a full birthday detail tomorrow because for right now I have a thank you to give.
Today is also 200th post for my blog, which is a super awesome thing for me because this blog means so much to me now. I can't believe I have managed to reach the 200 number because I was never serious about blogging when I made this blog and in fact I stopped blogging for a while. But now it's like I can't sleep unless I update a post and check few blogs. It's like my diary now, I do feel guilty for leaving pen and paper but I'm so in love with my blog.
My blog not only lets me express what I want, happiness, anger, pain or love, it also made me meet some amazing people from different parts of the world. I mean I have made friends and it means a lot. When I started blogging regularly I was afraid of writing what's on my mind wondering if I should write any post which is sad and simply declares me as a crazy demented dark soul with nothing but blues to share. I tried to refrain from being honest but then I guess I forgot my own rule of not sharing. At times being honest can be difficult but fact that my readers are so awesome, I can be myself. And one day I might actually be able to talk about the real stuff, the one that makes me a Super Hero all the time.


Set in the tranquil pocket of the Dorsoduro district is Design Hotel Ca' Pisani, a sophisticated property that dates back to the late fourteenth century. The hotel is owned by the Serandrei family (four generations) which has been active in the hotel sector for four generations. Original features remain a staple piece of the building, adding a charming sense of character, particularly combined with furniture from the 19302 and 1940s. Architects Roberto Luigi Canovaro and Gianluigi Pescolderung modernised the hotel to encapsulate unexpected contemporary aspects in the Venetian gem. Think luxurious bathrooms, bamboo-parquet floors, walnut bedframes, optic-fibre spotlights, Mies van der Rohe chairs and a roof terrace.
Those staying at Ca'Pisani can expect free Wi-Fi, satellite TV and many amenities (such as room service, mineral water, access to the wellness area with Turkish bath and the panoramic terrace with sun loungers). All rooms have a queen-sized bed, double-glazed windows and the Duplex Studio has luxury elements and design spanning across two floors. A buffet breakfast is served daily from 07:00 to 10:30. Guests have the option of dining at 'La Rivista' a restaurant with a 'wine & cheese bar' which serves delicious and creative Venetian cuisine, with a modern twist in a decent and classic setting. In addition, the location is incredible for art lovers with several places of interest all within walking distance. This includes Palazzo Grassi, Piazza San Marco and Gallerie dell'Accademia.

Posted byjournalclub_erjrob	 May 30, 2005 May 31, 2005 3 Comments on Why don't we just put statins in the water supply and be done with it?
Statins and the risk of colorectal cancer in last week's NEJM is a case-control study from Israel that looked at about 2000 patients with colorectal cancer and a similar number of controls, and found that "the use of statins for at least five years (vs. the nonuse of statins) was associated with a significantly reduced relative risk of colorectal cancer". The odds ratio was about 0.50.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this is yet another case-control study, useful as hypothesis generating, but not much else. The authors performed their analysis adjusting for multiple co-variates, such as aspirin use, vegetable consumption, red-meat consumption, but there is no way they can sufficiently adjust for all variables to convince me.
For one thing, they don't mention adjusting for low-saturated fat diets which patients who take statins are likely to adhere to. And there are sure to be other confounders associated with statin treatment.
The one fact that almost convinced me was that the authors found no protective effect from non-statin cholesterol lowering agents (fibrates). These are likely to be associated with most of the same confounders as statins. BUT, there were only 20 patients taking these drugs, too few to be statistically reassuring, and the reason for prescribing a fibrate rather than a statin is more likely to be hypertriglyceridemia than hypercholesterolemia, implying a different population and perhaps a different diet as well.
Medpundit is also critical of this study. I have to disagree with her main argument against it, however. She feels that the biggest flaw is that the two groups were not matched for ethnicity, with a higher percentage of Ashkenazi Jews in the cancer group. However, in their adjusted analysis, the authors specifically state that they adjusted for ethnicity. In my opinion, the biggest problem with case-control studies is not that they do not adequately adjust for known confounders, but rather that they don't take into account confounders they have not thought of.


There are 4 things you need to understand if you want to harness the law of attraction.
I never liked the way the equestrian world refers to training horses as 'breaking' them. I understand 'breaking in' a new pair of shoes or jeans, but this 'breaking the will' of a wild animal has always felt wrong to me. But then again, I'm not an equestrian, and horses are magnificently powerful and potentially dangerous animals, so I'll leave the horse-jargon to those who know better.
BUT … when it comes to the MIND, and specifically, the hyper-developed, ego-driven Monkey Mind, this idea of 'breaking' is ideal. Why? Because the monkey mind that goes on unconscious tangents of worry, doubt, criticism and fear is wildly out of control. AND, it's the major block that's keeping you from consciously working the Law.
Bringing awareness to your subconscious habits of thought – and then immediately changing the subject when what you're thinking isn't what you want – is the mental/spiritual equivalent of 'breaking' a horse. It is the act of putting the wild, uncontrolled mind into the service of the greater self. How do you build your ability to do it? Think: 'MIM': Meditation, Intention, Mindfulness. You can also simply stop what you're doing every 30 minutes or so and bring all your attention to what you're thinking about. Observe, become aware, become mindful of your tendencies of thought. Do you tend to worry a lot? Do you rehash old dramas? Do you let your mind flit about in nonsense? These insights will tell you a lot about yourself and how to redirect your thinking.
Taking action on inner guidance you can trust is the key to change. It may feel scary or even silly sometimes, but when you feel that true "Yes!" about something, hesitating is the last thing you want to do! Maybe your gut tells you to go out to do errands when you planned to stay inside. You go out, run into an old friend who happens to know someone who has just the thing (knowledge, a job, the perfect date) that you've been wanting to attract.
You can't know exactly HOW you're going to get what you're wanting. Many times, the results of consciously working the law of attraction arrive in ways we couldn't possibly have imagined. (And I'm speaking from personal experience here). This is why the action you take based on your gut instincts rather than on rationalized, over-analysed 'choices', is so important. And I know this sounds scary, but really and truly – it's what works!
Does this speak to you? Are you stuck on one of these steps? Is there something else you'd like to add? Leave us a comment and let us know?

dean, be gentle with yourself and simply notice that your inner knowing is here. It takes practice to follow and trust that inner knowing. Could be a fun game to watch the process of when you follow it and when you notice that you did not and it was telling you something.
Yes, it is quite funny when you suddenly realize 'oh that's what my intuition was trying to tell me lol'.
No, when I meditate for long periods the monkey mind goes away and stays away.
Breaking the mind can also be braking the mind. The right brain hemisphere functions as a brake pedal and the left brain is the gas pedal. All the functions described are indicative of an overdriving gas pedal or left brain and the effective intervention is the application of the braking system or right brain. Meditation is a process that activates the right brain to quell the monkey minded left brain. We become proficient at what we practice over time due to neuroplasticity. "Perfect practice makes permanent."
Totally true about the breaking horses part, you are on the right track. Being a natural horsemanship trainer, when people mention "breaking" the animal…it's wrong. You dont need force, bits, tie downs, whips, spurs or whatever to Force a horse to obey you through fear and pain! It can be done without all this stuff..you simply think like a horse, connect with it on an energetic level and once the connection is made, voila!! He or she will do anything you want with pleasure! They are very spiritual animals, more evolved than we are and they have been here since the beginning of time to help man attain their level. We are slowly getting there!

Just reread Eckhart Tolle's 'The New Earth'. His metaphor of the 'pain body' is your 'monkey mind'. He taps the Taoist understanding of non doing, as the powerful shift possible when I show up as a passive observer of the stuff of life, both my own and others. Present awareness that observes the painful monkey stuff, without interference, just allowing whatever is to unfold, brings the light of consciousness to bear. We attract our life with the magnetic energy we emanate, mixing the lightness of what we are awake to, with the shadows of what our monkey mind struggles with that we do not yet witness wakefully.
I have gradually learned learnt to stop myself on going on that crazy tangent of negative thoughts or thoughts that do not lead to anything & also sometimes asking myself as to why did i feel that particular emotion…..it is def a process which we have learn…..but my question is HOW to learn to trust your inner intuition or GUT like you have just …that it is not just your monkey mind tricking you to think that was your intuition speaking…How do we figure that out????
I found this essay to be very nice. I ought mention that there is and has always been a "natural horesmanship" subgroup within the horse world. These guys that we caught a glimpse of in the movie "Horse Whisperer's" do just the opposite of breaking horses. They allow the horse to spend time around them in an open setting and simply wait till the horse comes over and the "bonding" and "agreements" happen. So, the method of breaking horses, still dominant in the culture is just a reflection of hubris and utter disconnection from the natural world.
So, no point in using the breaking model with the human mind, eh ? After sitting with people for 25 years as a clinical and police psychologist I believe you are talking about helping people unlearn. It's about de-construction, initiating steps to unlearn brain chatter and bad cognitive habits, etc.
That takes some time and patience.

I find it hard to control my thoughts . So much crap is being slammed at my mind from everywhere . mostly from what I see and hear ..I live in a big city so I have to be exposed to a certain degree …I wonder how much of my manifesting is being the result of what advertising is telling me this is what I want this is what I need . So many people have no clue that they are being used to manifest what kind of world someone that can pay for the ads on tv radio internet billboards signs cars buses what is on your body in your house what your food comes in.
All I know is I try to control what it is that I am trying to do and be ..and it takes all my time ..Life is a thing to enjoy and feel …good or bad I guess ..
thats cool thank you .
Just a thought on the 'breaking' of horses. We DO NOT break their will or spirit. We 'break' them in, so to speak, to saddle, bridle and rider. "Breaking" is just a term that relates to the stage of their training. Horses with a broken spirit, or will, has no desire to compete or please, which is the exact opposite of what an equine athlete needs to be successful.
Hey Sharon – thanks so much for clarifying this. I've learned something and now appreciate the term and the purpose!!

Breaking sounds a bit like using willpower against your yourself, your desires, and what is going on in side you. Why fight it? It is just your resources operating without training. I prefer the idea of the horse whisperer and getting the mind under control gently. Michael Norman has very useful information about this.
it is very very encouraging points and will work on these points with a positive appraoch /low of attraction practice.
Thanks for yr continued mails with a very nice philosophy which is very surprise to know .
with best wishes + prayers.
Quieting the mind is really not necessary in order to follow your Heart or intuition….the mind is a wonderful tool and designed perfectly. One only has to train it to listen to you, And know that it only ever asks questions about the chatter you here….direct it through choice. Until you know the difference and the two sources are merged, don't believe your thought's unless they lead you to peace and more love….
I think that breaking the mind is a very good way of controlling negative thoughts. After listening to Abraham Hick's Pivoting process I am getting much better at this control. When I start thinking negatively now I stop and then tell myself that I don't want these thoughts I want to feel good and the negative chain of thought is immediately broken and I return to my better feeling self.
I have been working on this specifically recently. My previous 20 years have been fraught with ups and downs. I have had friends tell me I should be in the food biz for years. I am not sure when (and in the past would have said how….so let's "cancel" on the how part) the money will manifest this idea I have to sell salsa and give back to the community in a big way, meaning the bigger we grow the more we give back, but I feel I am on the right path! It has been amazing the positive responses I have gotten since I started the ball rolling toward my REAL passion. Cannot wait to see the results from the changes I am making and have made regarding my thinking. Look forward to my continuing my passage toward enlightenment and prosperity!

Cannot wait to see the results from the changes I am making and have made regarding my thinking. Look forward to my continuing my passage toward enlightenment and prosperity!
I have discovered that it;s not only the thoughts which keep me from being more in tune and conscious.
It's diet, routines, habits, religeon, etc. as well.
I have many habitual tendencies and an addictive nature. I also fall into dependency alot of the time.
For instance…coffee. mama mia…I love it!
Once I "broke" that habit, what a difference in my thoughts! My diet followed. A former meat and potatoes, white bread, carb person…to a vegan vegetarian! HOLY COW! If you could only feel the energy that surged through me from that shift!
What I'm trying to say is that everything is connected and I believe the key to "breaking" the cycles is desire. When you reach a point and say…"I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired"…anything and everything can change…but…it doesn't have to reach that point with stress. One can choose right NOW to say "that's it…that's enough!!!"….and then do the necessary work.
I'm not saying it will fix everything and it certainly is not easy…but it is well worth it.

I have managed to control the busyness of my mind but how can we help others when they don't believe in Mind control?

Blond hair, dull blue-grey eyes.
Holden is an introvert, much being a result of his unexpected ability - vanishing. This unexpected [and what he believed was not powerful] ability resulted in family isolation and embarrassment. If you bullied Holden in school, then his response would be to vanish and run away. If you were nice to him, he'd blush, thank you, then slowly try to get out of the situation. Either ways, he is an introvert: shy, and unwilling to talk other to people. There was no getting him to talk - unless you showed him one of your skills.
Whenever somebody else shows off a skill, rather than being jealous, Holden proceeds to try and learn how himself, whether it be through your teaching, or on his own. And in the end, he'll come back and show you how he's done it. The days that he accomplishes a task are one of his good days (read the history for clarification). The days that you put him down are one of his bad days (read the history for clarification). This is an example of his perseverance.
Holden is the grandson of Dexter Alvin Dizznee, one of the members of the legendary Keeper Team. His parents, one being Dex's daughter, are also very powerful, with strong abilities. However, Holden's manifest came as a surprise to the family. Everyone was expecting him to be very powerful, but he ended up being a mere Vanisher. This led to isolation and eventually, to him being an introvert.
After manifesting, Holden attempted to keep his secret. He restricted himself with all his might, expecting another ability, but no. This was it. All he was ever going to be in life was a Vanisher. And with Foxfire and his friends pressuring him to manifest, he finally gave way, and revealed his ability.
The news came as a shock to the school. Both his parents had very strong abilities. And now him. His brother and sisters, who were older, and had already manifested, had much more powerful abilities, some even being as powerful as the great Sophie Foster herself. So when he revealed his ability, his siblings became awkward to be around him.
It had started with his siblings. Then it spread to his parents. Later on, most of the Keeper Team members simply shrugged their shoulders and moved on, training the other Keeper descendants, hoping they would "show results." But in the sea of skeptics, there were some believers too. Dex, his grandfather, had also thought some of the same things when he was young - that his ability was weak and not useful. However, Holden was done with his family members trying to make him feel good. It was always done awkwardly, and how was Dex any different?
Hence, he started going to Keefe, him being an empath. Keefe helped Holden get through his bad days and be there with him through his good ones, with his empathy ability. And of course, he taught him the ways of pranking - not that Holden ever used them anyways.
Keefe ended becoming almost like a parent to Holden, thus strengthening their relationship.

After our visit to the museum, it was onwards toward the castle!
And this is in the royal apartments. Mary, Queen of Scots gave birth here. Her son James was the king of both Scotland and England, which is a big deal in Scottish history.
…check out all those tartans!
And check out these airplanes in the technology section!
In Edinburgh the streets and alleys are called wynds and closes. We paused in the Writers' Close, where we learned about the most famous writers of Scotland–Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Burns, and Sir Walter Scott.
Day 1 ended with a group dinner. We left with immediately after dessert, with the other 2 people also flew in that day. Rick Steves recommends that you arrive in Europe a few days before your tour starts, but Marjorie's work schedule typically does not allow that. So we were exhausted at the end of day 1 and slept like a log.
Day 2 began with another walking tour; we were on our way to Edinburgh Castle.
But this one is my favorite. I'm kind of partial to bears.
It's a monument to Polish soldiers who have fought for The Crown. The bear's name is Wojtek, and our guide (confirmed by Wikipedia) told us that Wojtek served with Polish armed forces in WWII before retiring to the Edinburgh zoo.
Naptime on Wednesday was just under 2 hours. And then it was time to meet the tour group! We had a little intro meeting in the B+B. Rick Steves tours use the buddy system; you pick a buddy that you've never met before, and then we do a buddy check before moving on to the next destination. My buddy was the lady sitting next to me, and she ended up being a pharmacy technician at the pharmacy closest to Marjorie's first apartment, about a mile from the house she grew up in. Small world.
Then we set off on a walking tour of Edinburgh's new town. It's called new town, but "new" refers to 1740. A Georgian planned community with gridded blocks and row homes.
Here's our tour group. Travel tip: whilst on walking tours, sit down at every opportunity, because there won't be a lot of chances.
After falling asleep on a park bench, we headed to a pair of museums that would not be visited by our tour group.
It was a nice little collection, but nowhere near as impressive as London's National Gallery. Glad it was free.
Then we went to the National Portrait Gallery. It seemed disrespectful to take photos, so they're aren't any. But the museum visit provided a nice overview of Scottish history. A great way to put a face to some of the names our guide would mention later in the tour.
And after the two art galleries, it was almost time for our room to be ready! A nap is coming! Did I mention that jetlag stinks?
When we got to Edinburgh, we took an affordable bus from the airport to our B&B. As expected, our room was not ready this early in the morning, so we dropped off our luggage and set out on foot to explore Edinburgh. Sightseeing priorities are attractions that will not be included as part of the tour. Our first stop was an "urban hike" described in the Rick Steves guidebook in Holyrood Park.
That's St Anthony's chapel. It's at least 600 years old (there's a record from 1426 of the Pope donating money for repairs)!
There's a point when resting on a rock becomes sleeping like a vagabond in the park. We moved on when we reached that point.

Web Hosting: This Host Has The Most
Tired of paying your Web hosting company big bucks and getting little in return? The owners of Footballguys.com quit their name-brand host and got a whole lot more for a whole lot less.
For a small e-commerce business – or a big one for that matter – the company that provides your Web hosting services is your most important supplier, bar none. You look for reliability, connection speed, scalability (the ability to increase capacity seamlessly as Web operations grow) and responsiveness. Did we mention reliability?
Sportsguys LLC, which operates Footballguys.com, a news-and-analysis site for fantasy football geeks, says it wasn't getting any of those things from its previous supplier, a company that remains a major player in the hosting industry. When Sportsguys went looking for a new hosting supplier four and a half years ago, The Planet.com popped out pretty quickly as the best bet.
The Planet claims to be the biggest privately-held hosting company, second only to publicly-traded IBM, and the fourth-largest host of Web sites with 2.8 million. The company serves 22,000 businesses worldwide, with six data centers containing more than 40,000 servers that it monitors 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It also claims to have one of the industry's fastest, most robust networks, connecting to the Internet at 100 gigabits per second (gbps).
Best of all, its prices were a lot lower than Footballguys had been paying – $299 a month per server versus closer to $2,500. "Given what they're offering and the price, it was kind of a no-brainer," says Sportsguys owner David Dodds. "We made the jump, and we've never looked back."
Fantasies Do Come True
Dodds runs an unusual business, to say the least. He quotes data from the Fantasy Sports Trade Association showing that an amazing 15 to 20 million people play fantasy football – and that's just football. Add fantasy baseball, fantasy basketball, etc., and the numbers get even bigger. Players start their own leagues, pick teams from real NFL rosters, establish a scoring system that awards points to players and sometimes coaches based on their performance in real games. The fantasy roster with the most points on game day wins the fantasy match.
Footballguys.com provides exhaustive NFL news and expert analysis that fantasy team managers use to make decisions about who to "field" for their next fantasy game and who to trade, to trade for or to acquire as a free agent. The site kicks off in March, providing its information to visitors for free. They can also sign up for a free daily newsletter. Then in July, with the NFL season looming, the fantasy football market kicks in to high gear. From that point on, only paying subscribers get access to the Footballguys site.
The company's revenues topped $1.2 million in 2006. It has 80,000 subscribers to the free newsletter and 38,000 paying subscribers to the site. Footballguys.com has a few full-time employees, including Dodds, but mostly uses freelancers. It's a team of about 56 writers and support staff altogether.
A Host of Trouble
In its last year with the other hosting company, there were a few straws that broke the camel's back. That year, Footballguys.com suffered three virus infections. Not one, not two, but three. "So everybody who visits the site gets the virus," Dodds grouses. "Great!" That's when he started looking for a new supplier.
Even worse, the site's one server had a hard disk crash – something that has never happened with The Planet in four and half years – and the other company at first refused to rebuild the site from the backups it had supposedly been keeping. Dodds was furious: "Are you kidding me! What have we been paying for all this time?"
He believes many of the problems with the other company were attributable to its security-challenged Microsoft server environment. Dodds speculates that it wasn't keeping the servers updated with patches to plug security vulnerabilities. As he learned more about the technology, he concluded that Footballguys.com would be better off if he changed both programming languages and operating system environments.
PHP, an open source programming language for creating dynamic Web sites, replaced ColdFusion from Macromedia (now part of Adobe), which the company had been using. And when he went looking for a new hosting service, Dodds insisted on managed servers running under Linux, the open source operating system generally acknowledged to have fewer security problems than Microsoft. The Planet offered the full package.
Maximizing Uptime
Footballguys.com currently leases six managed servers, each with 2 gigabytes (GB) a month of transfer capacity. They're owned by The Planet and sit in one of the company's huge data centers. It takes care of the servers, keeping them up to date with security patches and the latest operating system software releases. The Plnet also guarantees that no power or Internet connection outages will disrupt service.
That doesn't mean things can't go wrong. Servers fail for a variety of reasons. "They're always up," Dodds says of The Planet, but then adds, "Of course, there are always going to be hiccups. But with these hiccups it usually just means the server needs rebooting. We haven't had any serious issues."
The Planet sometimes catches server failures itself and reboots before Footballguys even notices. But sometimes Dodds has to use the company's online trouble ticket system to report a problem. There is no telephone support, although technicians responding to trouble tickets sometimes phone him back. That is one ostensible shortcoming in the service. His previous hosting company provided telephone support and a dedicated support representative – the only reason it could possibly justify its prices, Dodds says.
But in reality, The Planet's reporting system works as well or better, he says. "Sure we had a hotline number [with the other company], but it could take a day sometimes for them to get back to us. With The Planet there's not necessarily a phone number, but when you submit an online ticket, they're often back to you in 30 minutes." He estimates he's had to use the system 25 times in four and a half years.
The Planet also offers self-managed servers that sit in one of its data centers but are managed remotely by the client. Dodds wasn't tempted. "You have to have real IT gurus on staff to do that," he says. "If you're not doing all the patching, and doing it the same day [the patches are released], you can get in trouble." He's more than willing to pay extra for the management services.
Fast Page Displays
He was also never tempted by the idea of hosting his own servers. One big reason not to do that, he says, is the speed of the network connection. The Planet data centers are so massive that they've become major hubs on the Internet backbone. That means higher connection speeds and immeasurably faster display of pages for site visitors than Footballguys.com could ever achieve with a server on its own premises – and quite a bit faster than smaller, less-directly-connected hosting service providers such as the one it was using before could provide.
The other thing Dodds likes about The Planet is how easy – and cheap – it is to to add capacity and performance. Every year the company offers new deals on the latest hardware and increased storage capacity. Footballguys almost always upgrades, but rarely sees much increase in its bill from The Planet, except when it adds a new server.
"If a company is constantly growing, like ours is, if it constantly needs more storage and more bandwidth, you sure don't want to get stuck with a [hosting company] that can't meet your needs quickly," Dodds says. The company he was using before could never have provided the same smooth and continual scaling up of performance and capacity, he says.
The Planet does offer other services besides straight Web hosting, including message, database, social media and gaming hosting, collocation, private racks, SSL certificates, domains, special anti-virus protection and more, but Dodds relies on the company only for Web hosting. It's a simple transaction, but absolutely vital to his business. And he's thrilled with the service.

What's New in Small Business Storage?


Ramadhan just near the corner. So get you dates stocks at MBG. Like the local traditions and the Muslims around the world, we breakfasting and Sahur with Kurma @ dates to maintain our energy throughout the fasting day. And of course, we offer the best dates from over the world.
Dates have become the superfood of the moment: the breakfast, lunch and coffee sweetener of champions. Touted by whole foods enthusiasts and Paleo eaters, this naturally dry fruit is a powerhouse of minerals, energy, and fiber. Its paste makes a natural binder in baked treats; its syrup adds sweetness to beverages. Eaten plain or stuffed, it makes a nutritious snack. So the dates are not just for the Muslims to breakfast or during the month of Ramadhan only, it's suitable for everyone to have a healthy diet on daily basis.
Dates are a good source of various vitamins and minerals. It's also a good source of energy, sugar, and fiber. Essential minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, magnesium and zinc can be found in dates. It also contains vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin A and vitamin K.
Another study reported the most prominent health benefits of dates: there are at least 15 minerals in dates, including selenium, an element believed to help prevent cancer and important in immune function, protein, containing 23 types of amino acids, some of which are not present in the most popular fruits, such as oranges, apples, and bananas. Unsaturated fatty acids include palmitoleic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. The study concluded that dates could be considered a nearly ideal food, with a wide range of essential nutrients and potential health benefits.
Dates are also being used to prepare juice and Jallab (a type of syrup popular in the Middle East and made from dates, grape molasses, and rose water). At MBG, we have syrup dates too!

Ten outstanding early career researchers have received 2018 Vice-Chancellor Awards for their contributions to research at Flinders University.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Colin Stirling says awards are an annual opportunity to recognise and reward excellence at the university in its many forms, including in research in this instance, across all six colleges.
"Research is a crucially important part of what we do here at Flinders, and vital part of what a modern university is," Professor Stirling says, pointing to significant rises in both 2017-18 NHMRC funding and ARC grants, at $8 million so far this year.
This funding increase will help to invigorate and increase research activities at Flinders University, he says, including for early career researchers.
Professor Stirling joined the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Robert Saint, and other Uni leaders including Professor Ross McKinnon and Professor Tara Brabazon in congratulating:
Dr Catherine Attard (ecological, evolutionary and conservation genomics), Dr Kristy Hansen (mechanical engineering, acoustics and wind farm noise) and Dr Alessandro Palci (evolutionary biology) from the College of Science and Engineering.
Dr Rodrigo Praino (political science) from the College of Business, Government and Law.
Dr Romain Fathi (wartime and history) from the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
Dr Stephanie Harrison (public health and epidemiology – dementia) and Dr Jing Jing Wang (clinical immunology) from the College of Medicine and Public Health.
Dr Lua Perimal-Lewis (digital health supporting our ageing community) from the College of Nursing and Health Sciences.
Dr Stefania Velardo (health education and health sociology) and Dr Sam Elliott (youth sport) from the College of Education, Psychology and Social Work.
The ECR presentations were held at the Alere Function Centre last week.

In 1968, she competed and won the title of Miss Young India. Her husband, the actor and politician Shatrughna Sinha, is her partner in life. She had leading parts in Hindi films and also produced two movies in addition to her acting career.
Poonam was born into a Sindhi family in the city of Hyderabad.
She appeared in a number of films, including Jigri Dost, Dil Diwana, and others, in which she had a leading role and was billed as Komal. She was chosen to star in the film Sabak with Shatrughan Sinha (1973). After some time, in 1980, the couple tied the knot. They had first encountered one another in a railway cabin earlier in their journey.
After being married, she basically retired from the performing industry so that she could focus on raising their children.

In 1831, the Jamul Valley was granted to Pio Pico (former governor of California) as Rancho Jamul. The Burton family occupied the land after Pio Pico, but lost their title at the end of the 1850s. Several farmers began to settle believing it was government land available for homesteading.
In the late 1890s, a San Diego entrepreneur gained control of the land. He sold the property to the former San Diego Mayor in 1916. In 1929, the property was purchased and turned into a cattle ranch, which it remained as until acquisition by the Department. The property was designated as a wildlife area by the Fish and Game Commission in 2001.

In the posters for Divergent, Shailene Woodley has been given the stylized bod of a comic-book sci-action vamp, and her features are as coolly chiseled as her physique. But in the movie version of Veronica Roth's 2011 novel, Woodley, I'm glad to say, is a lot more recognizably human, and that goes for her acting too. Her character, Tris, spends most of the film learning to leap and toss knives and risk death like a badass, and when she puts those skills to the test battling her society's corrupt leaders, there's no doubt that she's a superior, market-tested YA role model, like Katniss in The Hunger Games. But she is also, as Woodley plays her, an intensely vulnerable and relatable character.
Tris, a.k.a. Beatrice, has been raised as a member of Abnegnation, one of five factions in a walled dystopia that was formerly Chicago and still looks, strikingly, like a semiruined concrete-playground version of that city. The members of Abnegnation dress in plain tan frocks, like the Amish, and they're all about puritan self-sacrifice. The other four factions are Erudite (defined by their transcendent knowledge), Candor (who are compulsively honest), Amity (the naturally peaceful), and Dauntless (the fearless tattooed warrior jocks in black — in other words, the sect that anyone cool would want to be part of). Beatrice and her peers have the right to choose a faction for themselves (it's like picking a college — you can go to Yale even if your folks didn't). But when she takes the test to learn which faction she's best suited for, it turns out that she's in the rare forbidden category known as Divergent, which means she has the qualities of three factions at once: Abnegnation, Erudite, and Dauntless. It may sound silly to say she's an outlaw because she's self-sacrificial, brilliant, and strong all at the same time, but what's really forbidden is independent thought.
Woodley, through the delicate power of her acting, does something compelling: She shows you what a prickly, fearful, yet daring personality looks like when it's nestled deep within the kind of modest, bookish girl who shouldn't even like gym class. Tris chooses to become part of Dauntless not because she has any special athletic skill but because it's her nature to go for broke. The first half of Divergent is a lean, exciting basic-training thriller, with Tris willing herself to do things like jump aboard speeding trains and fight with her bare knuckles. Woodley, at every turn, lets us feel as if we're in her shoes, not so much Dauntless as thrillingly daunted.
The second half of the movie goes on a bit, with too many rote combat scenes. Yet the director, Neil Burger (the fanciful craftsman who made Limitless and The Illusionist), keeps you invested, staging a rise-of-the-savior-heroine plot so that it seems less ritualistic than it does in the Hunger Games films. It helps that the drill sergeant, named Four, is played by Theo James, who's like an unflaky James Franco with a surly hint of T-shirt-era Brando; he brings off the neat trick of playing a hardass who is also a heartthrob. And it's nice to watch Kate Winslet go full ice-blood fascist as the Erudite leader who makes a scarily smart case for a society rooted in the fine art of control. In many ways, she sounds similar to a movie executive, so I'm glad to see the launch of a dystopian franchise in which individuality, as embodied by Shailene Woodley, looks like it could mean something beyond hiply propping up the status quo.

The Cumberland County Board of Education voted 5-2 Tuesday to ask county commissioners for $8.9 million more in local funding for next year.
The board approved Superintendent Marvin Connelly Jr.'s recommended budget, which calls for $89.04 million in funding from the county in the 2019-20 fiscal year. The budget seeks an increase of $8.9 million in local funding to help pay for more social workers, school counselors and school nurses and to support the growth of the English as a Second Language program and increases in the number of Exceptional Children in schools.
Connelly, who is recovering from having a cancerous tumor removed from his jaw last month, said in a text message that he had treatment at the University of North Carolina Hospitals earlier Tuesday but wanted to be at the meeting in part because of the school board's vote on his recommended budget.
The board's discussion of the budget grew contentious at times.
Board members Charles McKellar and Porcha McMillan voted against the budget.
McMillan said the budget doesn't provide enough resources to help low-performing schools, to deal with low test scores in middle school and to keep students from leaving the school system for charter schools. She suggested taking some money from the school system's fund balance, which is often called the rainy day fund.
"Anytime we're not meeting the needs of our children, it's a rainy day," she said.
Connelly said that school officials had identified those needs as critical but realized that the county doesn't have unlimited funds.
"We recognized that we can't ask for it all in one year," he said.
Connelly also said that it wasn't wise to use the fund balance for costs that would be recurring year after year.
"If it's not wise to spend money on the children, I don't know what is," she said.
Board member Greg West said that wasn't what Connelly said.
Connelly said it isn't wise to spend the fund balance to pay for employees who would either have to get paid again the next year or laid off.
"We spend all the money on children," he said.
Board member Susan Williams said a new curriculum recently went in place to address the middle school issues.
"They are not being ignored," she said.
McMillan said test scores don't reflect improvement.
Williams said the change was just implemented.
McKellar, who was elected to the board in November, said he has a lot of problems with the budget. He said he understands that the document needs to be submitted to commissioners by May 1 and hopes that he can be involved in the budget process earlier next year.
In other action, the board voted 6-1 to approve a new bell schedule for 11 schools. Some parents and teachers said during the public forum portion of the meeting that they opposed the move.
The board also heard an update on the school system's strategic plan, which is expected to be presented to the board by July. Connelly has said he wants the plan to guide the school system's work over the next five years.
"We just voted for a budget, and we don't have a strategic plan," she said.
Board Chairwoman Donna Vann said the school system is operating under its current plan until the new plan in finished.
"This is for the next five years," she said.

There are several debated problems within the theory of the phrase. Most essential are the predicative character of the phrase, the problem of criteria of classifying phrases, the number of elements within a phrase.
Most scholars hold that every combination of two or more words which is a grammatical unit constitutes a phrase: hot weather, very hot, at least, on account of.
We can distinguish phrases comprising notional and functional words (N+N Algebra problem, A+N wise teacher, V+ D run quickly, A+ D very quickly, etc.). They are grammatical units; each constituent of a phrase can undergo different grammatical changes. The grammatical variation of a phrase constitutes its paradigm ( to read a book, to be reading a book, to have been reading a book, etc.).
There are phrases equivalent to prepositions, these are prepositional phrases( instead of). There are also conjunctional phrases (as long as, as soon as). We are to discriminate between analytical forms of words and phrases. To write a letter is a phrase , while would have been writing is the analytical form ofthe word write).
Home scholars hold that a phrase is a non-predicative unit, it's more like a word, as it names actions, things, qualities (very beautiful), it names also qualities of qualities (very quickly); they believe that predication is the prerogative of a sentence.
Western scholars make no difference between subject-predicate combinations and non-predicative combinations, calling both phrases (John runs away, to run away).
Henry Sweet classified phrases according to the relations between the head and the adjunct. These relations are of logical and grammatical subordination. He distinguished the following degrees of subordination:- apposition (adjoinment)(Prince Hamlet), agreement (concord) ( these books), government (to see a film). So the criterion, underlying this classification, is the degree of subordination.
Otto Jespersen introduced the theory of ranks to understand the hierarchy of elements in a phrase. Elements are not of the same footing, they function as primaries, secondaries and tertiaries. The rank of the element depends on its position. One and the same element can be a primary and a secondary: an exquisitely lovely dress; a vast country and a country doctor ( III II I; II I; II I). We see that the word country can be a primary and a secondary. Prof. Kruizinga distinguished close and loose syntactic groups. In a close group there is a syntactically leading element( poor John, very fragile). In a loose group both elements are independent of each other ( ladies and gentlemen). According to the number of constituents, syntactic groups are divided into double, triple and multiple groups.
Leonard Bloomfield, using the procedure of substitution, identified phrases according to their functioning in larger structures into endocentric and exocentric ones. An endocentric phrase functions as its head constituent (Very fresh milk is on the table = Milk is on the table, students and teachers = students and teachers are in the hall). An exocentric phrase doesn't function as any of it's constituents (In the house; John runs away; by running away). None of their elements can replace the whole phrase in a larger structure. Both types of phrases were further subdivided by Bloomfield into subclasses according to their structure. Endocentric phrases are divided into coordinate ones with elements being on the same footing ( girls and boys) and subordinate ones (character-substance phrases: poor John). As to exocentric phrases the relations within them are more diverse. We see here predicative (actor-action) phrases (John runs away), connective phrases ( with John, in the house). Though Bloomfield's classification was generally recognised in western linguistics, it was still criticised for the discrepancy between the initial (function) and the subsequent (structure) principles of classification. An exocentric phrase is criticised for being a catch-all, as it comprises everything that cannot find place in a better organised endocentric phrase.
Classifications of phrases are based on the presence or absence of the head word. Most scholars divide phrases into headed (poor John), non-headed (in the house).There exist classifications proceeding from the grammatical characteristics of the head word: a nounal phrase (a red rose), a verbal phrase (to run quickly), an adjectival phrase (very beautiful), an adverbial phrase (very coldly), a prepositional phrase (in front of), a conjunctional phrase (as long as). There exists classifications based on coordination or subordination (husband and wife; his pretty wife).There exists a classification based on derivatability/non-derivatability. Some phrases can be derived from a sentence, some cannot be derived (the composition of light music <- He composes light music; the blooming flowers <- The flowers bloom).The phrases of the type in the house, a woman with her children cannot be derived from sentences. This classification was advanced in transformational grammar, which studies correlations between a phrase and a sentence. A sentence can be transformed into a phrase and vice versa. So we see that attributive relations develop on the basis of predicative relations (a new car <– the car is new). Non-derivative phrases are phrases with determiners (articles, numerals) ( several of my friends) The nominal phrases of the type young Jolyon, a perfect fool are non-derivative ones as the adjectives underlined serve as intensifiers and specifiers. They do not predicate.
Prof. V.V. Burlakova distinguishes phrases into kernels and non-kernels. In a kernel phrase the function of its central element can't be identified. In the phrase a beautiful girl we don't know whether a girl is a subject or an object. The elements of a non-kernel phrase have the same footing ( ladies and gentlemen). Prof. M.Y. Blokh distinguishes syntagmatic groupings of 3 types: autosemantic groupings, consisting of notional words (a beautiful girl), they don't depend upon the context; synsemantic groupings, carrying one notional and one functional word (for fear of, at the expense of,) they depend on the context; functional groupings (from within). Functional are conjunctional prepositional phrases. They are analogous to functional words used as connectors and specifiers.
Using the oppositional method we can distinguish the following structural varieties of phrases: headed – non-headed, kernel – non-kernel, derivative – not derivative, endocentric – exocentric, coordinate – subordinate, loose – close, predicative – non-predicative, independently predicative – dependently predicative (his being a bachelor), autosemantic – synsemantic.
Ex. 234. Complete the gaps in these sentences with a word or phrase from the box.
Within a simple sentence we distinguish primary and secondary (independent/ dependent) elements, the structural nucleus and its adjuncts.

DHS project catches 18 first-responder apps with 'critical' cyber flaws
By Morgan Chalfant - 12/18/17 11:37 AM EST
A pilot project launched by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has discovered critical flaws in 18 mobile applications used by public safety officials to respond to emergencies.
The department's Science and Technology Directorate established the program in order to test how vulnerable smartphone apps used in the public safety sector are to cyberattack, including ransomware and spyware, and whether certain apps have coding vulnerabilities that could compromise device security, expose sensitive data, or allow for spying.
DHS announced Monday that 32 of the 33 popular iOS and Android apps tested raised security and privacy concerns. The program turned up "critical flaws" in 18 of the apps, including some that made apps vulnerable to what are called "man-in-the-middle" attacks — which occur when a hacker intercepts communications between two systems. The apps in question were not named or described.
The project was launched three months ago by DHS in partnership with the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials and Kryptowire, a mobile app vetting company.
DHS said that project participants have worked with developers to address security and privacy concerns in 14 of the applications.
Vincent Sritapan, the Science and Technology Directorate's program manager for mobile security research, said that the results illustrated "the efficacy, benefits and value an ongoing app-testing program will provide to the public-safety community and the nation."
"During the testing phase, numerous cyber vulnerabilities were identified and remediated," Sritapan added. "This model can be used to ensure all apps used by the public-safety professionals are secured against cyberattacks and other security and privacy weakness."

Ethics and Decision Making in
Home Care and Community Nursing:
Through the story of one young visiting nurse and her elderly patient, this challenging documentary will help to stimulate discussion about a wide range of ethical and professional dilemmas faced by nurses working in home care and community settings. Gerardo is a charming and independent gentleman, born in Spain, who lives with his dog in public housing. He drives a car and holds down a night-shift job as a security guard. Yet his increasing dementia makes his independence a potential threat not only to himself but also to others around him.
Allison, his visiting nurse, knows that her care for him is helping him to maintain his autonomy, but is that what she should be doing? At what point should she or her agency take steps to raise questions about his competence? What are the boundaries of her professional role as a nurse? What are her responsibilities to her patient, to the patient's family, to her employer, to the public? In thinking about these issues, she involves Gerardo's physician and a consulting neuropsychologist, as well as her supervisors and the VNA's Ethics Committee. This is an engrossing exploration of some of the realities of home care work, as experienced by a skilled and compassionate professional.
