Anadarko backs Occidental's revised bid

May 6 (Reuters) - Anadarko Petroleum Corp said on Monday that its board backed a $38 billion bid from Occidental Petroleum Corp, adding pressure on rival Chevron Corp to raise its offer or walk away from the takeover contest.

Occidental submitted a new offer of $76 per share to Anadarko on Sunday, structured as 78 percent cash and 22 percent stock, as opposed to an even cash/stock split previously, removing a requirement for any deal to receive the approval of Occidental's shareholders.

Anadarko said its board has unanimously determined that the revised Occidental proposal constitutes a "superior proposal" and that it intends to terminate the Chevron merger agreement and will pay Chevron a $1 billion termination fee.

The Big Grey Void, That Isn’t So

Leave a comment

“‘Even now’ she thought, ‘almost no one remembers Esteban and Pepita but myself. Camila alone remembers her Uncle Pio and her son; this woman, her mother. But soon we shall die and all memory of those five will have left the earth and we ourselves shall be loved for a while and forgotten. But the love will have been enough; all those impulses of love return to the love that made them. Even memory is not necessary for love. There is a land of the living and a land of the dead, and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.”

Thornton Wilder, ends his book, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, on this note. In one hundred and three characters he captures the soul of loss and remembrance; of the truth of the unknown, and the ever-present worry of what will remain when we pass, from this plain to the next; and what –of us– will remain, in a world that is eager to forget.
To take Wilder’s end-thoughts a bit further, I attempt the following body of text;

Leaving to forget, Is like cutting to remember.
There is no strength there;
No solace to be gained.

Pain is the reminder,
That in your heart,
And mind, and soul,
You really did try.
You really did care.

Forgive yourself, today, tomorrow,
Or five years from now, when–
You find it brought up;
In a passing conversation,
That you feel the need to correct,
Or a stolen glance,
That you want to forget.
Don’t leave to forget, but stay to forgive –yourself.

Every semblance of you will leave this plane one day, and there is no monument you can make of yourself, that can withstand the course of entropy; the very thought therein would be absurdity.

Every semblance of you will leave this plane one day, and that is that. No amount of brooding will change that fact. No amount of praying will cater to a pact– between you and the fates, to help you– live.
So live– now, while you still can.

Every semblance of you will leave this plane one day, so learn to allow yourself bad days. Allow yourself the opportunity to fail; because it is an opportunity. An opportunity to learn, to live, and grow; out from the shell that you sparingly know, to live and thus forgive– yourself.

The Author

23. Living large. You control how you make another feel, don't take that for granted. Peace, Love, and Positivity.

Managing a Fortune

Fortune says, ” roll up, roll up”,

Who’s first in the queue,

All hands go up

Their voices say, ” me, me, me”,

Fortune says,  “if you couldn’t manage a queue,

Then you don’t have the patience to manage a fortune.”

Susanna Dziworshie

Missing you my love

I am missing you my love,

Where art thou hiding?

A cosy fire a burning,

Crackling logs glowing amber,

With a red haze that warms my cockles,

Waiting for you to join me,

We will make each other a better person,

Patience will continue to be my virtue,

To safely  and surely  hand in hand with my man,

Sit we watching the snow fall on the glen .

What a phase Love is?

What a phase Love is? It is because it’s so important in our lives. Everyone has different experiences of love. Be it your first love, requited or not.  Be it love when you have a crush on someone.  Be it love that is sensible like being courted, engaged, married and living happily ever after. Whichever your phase was or is, I hope you kept an eye open or are keeping both open now, to make sure you don’t let lust in as it can spoil the phase of Love.

Take A Walk!

Walking in nature every morning clears my brain for the day I will face ahead.  I am lucky to live in the country near Pensacola, Florida, where wide open spaces dominate!  This is a photo of the helicopter field behind our house where the U. S. Navy Helicopter Training students practice almost daily.  Nice to hear choppers in the air… the sound of freedom.

I walk this stretch of road early each morning about 6 a.m. carrying two 5 lb. weights. In the summer, I only walk about two miles a day because of the heat.  In the winter, I walk the full 3 miles.  If you walk in nature, you will begin to incorporate those great feeling into your life and it will come through your writing for all to share.  I have seen a fox, armadillo, a possum, and many different kinds of birds on my morning excursions.

I pass by these swamps each day.  They have inspired me to write poetry, and to include them in some of my short stories.  I love the deep darkness of these sloughs.  When they are filled with water, you can hear frogs croaking.  Birds dart everywhere and spider webs line the trees and bushes on this side of the road.  If this does not inspire you to write something interesting…  I just don’t know.

This is another view of the helicopter field.  It is immense!  I have seen 4 or 5 helicopters hovering over the field, as a thunderstorm rumbles in the sky above, while they wait until it is safe to fly again.  Along the fence wire you will see dragonflies lined up, taking in the morning sun as if to mimic the helicopters flying overhead.  They glisten in brilliant hues of blue and magenta.

I hope you enjoyed my morning walk.  Take a walk in your neighborhood and see what inspires you.  Thanks for visiting,

Silver Threading

  1. What a beautiful walk, Colleen. Like you, I tend to get out of bed early and during the summer months I am out walking our dog, Toby, by 6:30. During the winter months, it’s a little later as it does not get light here until around 8:00 am then.

    Thank you for posting the pictures of your walk. Those big wide open spaces, somewhat, remind me of the English countryside.

    1. I think so too Hugh. I loved living in England. I would say the people and county imprinted on my heart forever. That is why I am enjoying this blogging so much. I still get to see and hear about England through all of you. Thanks for that! Every night I have a cup of PG Tips with evaporated milk and stevia! LOL!

      1. That is so lovely of you to say, Colleen. How long were you living in England for?
        I’m glad to hear you like PG Tips as well. Tea is my favourite beverage especially when I am dunking Oreos into it 🙂
        Are there any other foods/beverages you liked when in England that you can’t get in the States? Maybe an idea for a new post?

  2. Thanks for sharing your walk. Living there, it’s easy to see why you’re inspired to take up the pen and record thoughts and imaginings of mother nature’s different terrains. 🙂

VIEW FROM THE PRESS BOX: Red Raiders lead Lamar 42-0 at halftime

QB Alan Bowman posted a stellar first half, showed why he's getting the nod.

Texas Tech successfully bounced back from its season-opening loss by putting together an efficient first half versus Lamar.

In fact, it was almost kind of a ho-hum drubbing as the Red Raiders scored touchdowns on six of eight possessions and held the Cardinals to 71 yards of total offense on the way to a 42-0 halftime lead.

But its ok for Texas Tech if it was a little boring. Boring was actually good after the gut punches the Red Raiders experienced in the first quarter last week against Ole Miss. There was no drama in the first half as Texas Tech kept Lamar from crossing the Red Raiders 40 for the entire half.

Meanwhile, Texas Tech quarterback Alan Bowman found his rhythm as he completed 22 of 25 passes for 282 yards and 2 TDs.

Texas Tech attempted to establish the run, but struggled to get it going without DaLeon Ward or Tre King in the lineup (well try to find out why they were out later today). Demarcus Felton had a pedestrian 69 yards on 17 carries but, on the positive side, reached the end zone twice. The Red Raiders got their best spark in the running game from true freshman SaRodorick Thompson, who rushed for 16 yards and a touchdown on three totes.

Another encouraging sign was that the two biggest plays of the first half were made by receivers. T.J. Vasher, of course, provided highlight reel material, but he didnt make the biggest impact of the WRs. DeQuan Bowman returned a punt 49 yards to the Lamar 6 to set up the Red Raiders second touchdown.

And Antoine Wesley wrestled the ball away from a defender, then took off for a 66-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

Were seeing Jett Duffey run the offense to start the second half. So the questions were asking in the third and fourth quarters are: how will Duffey look? Can the defense pitch and shutout? And can the Red Raiders boost their stats in the all-important turnover-ratio category?

    Playboy #1 Newsstand Edition (HMH Publishing, 1953) CGC NM 9.4 White pages. The Marilyn Monroe cover and nude poster inside ensured Hugh Hefner's fledgling magazine would get noticed -- he just didn't know by how many, and how great the distribution would become within just a few years. From a printing of just over 50,000 copies for this first issue, Playboy's print run reached 5 million within 15 years.
    This copy is stunning, from its incredibly snow-white covers to its pristine white pages. All that white paper tends to show even minute wear and the slightest of smudges, so the condition of this offering is all the more astonishing.
    Nearly 60 years after the issue was published, it's safe to say there simply aren't many copies that can command a Near Mint certification. Auctioned on behalf of Tadano America Corporation.

CM Podcast 191 – Xmen God Loves, Man Kills

I love doing comic reviews and I especially love it when it’s a comic that I have heard about but never had the opportunity to read until now. This is one of those podcasts.

X-men God Loves, Man Kills is the 5th comic in the Marvel Graphic Novel series that came out in 1982. The original is hard to find but, thanks to reprints – you can get a cheap version of it today and, depending on which version you get, you’ll get bonus art and interviews with the creators.

On the left is the original copy of the comic that came out in 1982 and on the right is the current reprint that I purchased. The story was written by long time X-men scribe, Chris Claremont with art by Brent Anderson.

What also makes this a unique podcast – Jon actually read this comic originally when it came out. HE ACTUALLY READ A COMIC THAT I HAD NOT READ! This is a rare feat.

In the podcast we talk about what makes the Marvel Graphic Novel series so special and what was happening in the world during 1982 that actually influenced the comic. There is some reminiscing and shouting – you know, our usual comic talk.

Then we get into talking about the comic. We are introduced to Reverend William Stryker. He is a televangelist that loves God but is not found of mutants.

Stryker apostatizing humanity over mutants

Stryker, in fact, hates mutants with all his might…

I like how Nightcrawler is like “What did I do?”

As you can see in 2 panels that Reverend William Stryker is a very bad, no-good, terrible person and you will find out just what lengths he will go to to eliminate mutants from the face of the earth. If Stryker seems familiar to you, that is because the story from this comic was used in the movie X-men 2 AKA X2. William Stryker is the name of the main villain in the movie.

We talk about the story, its message and our thoughts on Stryker and his army called The Purifiers. We do spoil the story but if you saw X2, you already know how the story goes.

That’s it for this week.

Your comics pal,

Greek contagion

Since yesterday, news reports are full of comments like this:
Many economists fear that if Greece exits the euro, it could lead to financial contagion, as investors and ordinary bank depositors in other eurozone countries may fear that their own government will follow suit.

What does this mean? Are the Spanish looking to the Greeks as a model? That would be really weird. Esos griegos tenían un gran éxito con su incumplimiento de las deudasHagámos lo mismo. Or is it a matter of queueing up? Greece has first dibs on default, and Spain just has to wait its turn. Or is this setting up a resonance in a Sheldrakian morphic field of default patterns? Perhaps we are witnessing the final consummation of the marriage of 21st century mathematics and 20th century pseudoscience that finance has been tending toward for the past three decades (at least).

Surely the impact on investors will depend in part on the effects seen from a Greek euro withdrawal. At the very least If we think back to recent history, presumably any reasonable person would have thought, after the Lehman Brothers shit-storm, that the US financial authorities would be less likely to allow another similar bankruptcy to proceed. So, if Greece leaves the euro in a ball of flames, Spain will be unlikely to see it as a model. And if Greece’s exit from the euro isn’t so terrible then… maybe it’s just not so terrible.

We surveyed 113 astronomers and 82 psychologists active in applying for federally funded research on their grant-‐writing history between January, 2009 and November, 2012. We collected demographic data, effort levels, success rates, and perceived non-‐financial benefits from writing grant proposals. We find that the average proposal takes 116 PI hours and 55 CI hours to write; although time spent writing was not related to whether the grant was funded. Effort did translate into success, however, as academics who wrote more grants received more funding. Participants indicated modest non-‐monetary benefits from grant writing, with psychologists reporting a somewhat greater benefit overall than astronomers. These perceptions of non-‐financial benefits were unrelated to how many grants investigators applied for, the number of grants they received, or the amount of time they devoted to writing their proposals. We also explored the number of years an investigator can afford to apply unsuccessfully for research grants and our analyses suggest that funding rates below approximately 20%, commensurate with current NIH and NSF funding, are likely to drive at least half of the active researchers away from federally funded research. We conclude with recommendations and suggestions for individual investigators and for department heads.

Subscribe / Notifications of threads that you comment in

When I comment on a forum thread, how do I get notified when other people comment back?  I have responded to several people's questions and then later discovered that they wrote back, but I never knew about it.  How do I subscribe to a thread (sort of like where I create a thread, I get notifications of when some one else replies back.)

Ethical Sales Email Practices

We live in a world where our inboxes can become out of control quickly. We try our best to stay on top of the waves of incoming messages. Faculty know all too well that clearing an inbox can feel like doing triage in an emergency room.

Knowing that it is difficult to handle the sheer quantity of incoming messages, businesses must employ ethical practices in their emailing, beyond the frequency of messaging. It should not be a challenge for customers to determine who is sending the email, and what their purpose is. In a perfect world, this would be done by everyone. Yet there are deceitful actors out there (sometimes in sheep’s clothing), engaging in questionable practices in hopes of exploiting for commercial gain.

(Publisher Note: Cengage has implemented email system rules to ensure that faculty customers don’t receive multiple emails within a given window of time, and always identify ourselves as “Cengage” in the email address.)

We find that it is best to apply some qualifying questions to any sales (or marketing) email, to determine whether it is worth opening, archiving, responding, or deleting.

  • Is it clear who is sending me this email? Are they clearly named in the email domain?
  • Do they identify themselves and/or their business affiliations in the email?
  • Are they using a business domain or personal domain? Is their domain appropriate for a sales message?
  • Is the domain vague?

When the identity of the sender is not absolutely clear, consider the following:

  • Why would the sender use a personal domain when they should be using a company domain?
  • Why would the sender use a vague domain?
  • Can I trust the information in this message?
  • If the sender doesn’t identify themselves, can I trust what they are selling?

Stay vigilant, colleagues!

Audio input / output selector widget

Hey everyone,

Has anyone seen or implemented an audio input/output selector preset for the touch bar yet? I've been using a very basic shell script to toggle between two output/inputs, but want to get more advanced with a touchbar group for selecting the one I want to use, and I was wondering if anyone else has done anything similar yet. I'm using SwitchAudioSource from brew install switchaudio-osx in my shell script.

Have the same request.

Looking for a solution, to have a button on my touchbar to change the audio output.

until now, I have to click on the volume icon in the menu bar, after that I have to click on the preffert airplay device.....

Sounds simple. But i havent found a solution yet.....

What I've tried:

  1. Create a new Button (Name "Receiver", it's an aTV just for audio transmission)
  2. As action I choosed "execute terminal comand (asyncron)"
    command "SwitchAudioSource -s Receiver"
  3. Saved everything, but nothing happend... :frowning:

If I execute the command in a terminal windows it says: "Could not find an audio device named "Receiver" of type output. Nothing was changed."

Checked name with "SwitchAudioSource -a" -> name is correct.

If I choose an internat output like my headphone or a software called "Boom2Device" it works, in a terminal window.
Touchbar button still don't work... Even if I try to change to an internal output

tried it out with a bluetooth speaker and it does seem to work if you put quotation marks around the name (e.g. switchaudiosource -s "Receiver")

You want to stream from what source? Because you can set what you want easily with Apple script for iTunes.

Home Page (Recent) empty for Some logged in users, NodeBB 1.4.[5,6]

  • Hello,

    Last week I updated one incase from 1.0.3 to 1.4.5, first test instance using dump and then live instance. I did ran upgrade for scheme, using versions 1.1.2, 1.2.1, 1.3.0, 1.4.5 and now with 1.4.6 (last one only in test using old dump).

    Everything seemed working fine, otherwise I wouldn't have upgraded live version, but some users have reported when logged in Home Page that is routing to recent is empty, and after doing some tests I noticed that also unread route is also empty for that person.

    Some other have reported that there is also history of private messages missing, that I haven't confirmed and that is reported only in live (using 1.4.5)

    Site uses MongoDB (3.4.3) and live site is behind Nginx, but test version does not use that.

  • Staff Admin

    Make sure those users are not ignoring all categories, if a category is ignored the topics from that category does not show up in /recent and /unread.

  • All the categories where ignored for that person, but they where not before, (at least not all), was there some kind of change regarding this?

    Is there way to un-ignore to all? Then there could be post telling to people to ignore again if needed.

    As that was so "easy", any clue why history of private chat messages is not showing for some users? (for this user it does show up 😆)

  • Staff Admin

    Not sure about the chat history, the ignored categories filtering was added after 1.0.3 so that's why users are noticing it now.

  • So I'n my opinion it is bug that it ignores categories for some people. How to delete those entries in MongoDB?

She Said Yes

Posted on September 20, 2012, in Architecture, Dublin, Ireland, Photography and tagged , , , , , . Bookmark the permalink. 79 Comments.

  1. I hate those locks! It’s another’s city’s tradition, you can’t just supplant it here! I think they ruin the look of a beautiful landmark as well.

  2. My husband contends I waited three days to answer him (I certainly don’t remember it that way). I wonder how his scenario would have played out on the bridge!

  3. I think it’s a dandy tradition, but agree with Paul that it shouldn’t be transplanted…

  4. I LOVE your photographs! I share your passion and post some of them on: I also read about your pastry fetish and thought you might enjoy this site:

  5. cute tradition… is it just me and my inner cynic that wonders if anyone comes back and unlocks their lock if they happened to not stay together?

  6. It was transplanted to Poland as well – our bridge in Krakow isn’t nearly as picturesque, though.

    • That’s our oldest and (in my opinion) prettiest bridge across the Liffey. Don’t think it’s much of a declaration of love myself, a bit more imagination would be nice!

    • Actually, I think that when it comes to Poland, there is a bridge like this in Wrocław, too. And I thought it was the first one. And the only one in Poland, also. Well:) I’ve been to Dublin twice, but I don’t remember seeing that bridge though! Time for a 3rd visit!

  7. This is interesting… I haven’t seen something like that before… You did a great set and shots… Reminded me Trevi Fountain,in Rome. These are at the end a kind of touristic places and make them much more interesting. But locks or coins, etc. not for me 🙂 Thank you dear Conor, I think I am so romantic one… 🙂 Have a nice weekend, love, nia

  8. A lock is not a very romantic metaphor for marriage; you might as well use a ball and chain!
    Conor, what plugin/filter did you use to post-process these shots (don’t tell me it was Instagram alone!).
    Or is that like asking a chef his secret recipe?

    I think they look great anyway!

    • I don’t use instagram James, unless I took the photos on my phone and even then not always.
      No plug-in or filter either. I just adjusted the levels on some of them (contrast, brightness, saturation) and then obviously I desaturated a couple completely, bar the red in them. Just said I’d like to try that one out.
      Thanks very much! Looking forward to getting some O’Connor family snaps 🙂

      • Hi Conor. I’ve often messed with hue/saturation/brightness, they never came out looking that good though 🙂 Mostly it was to reveal hidden detail in poorly taken shots.
        I’m glad to hear Instagram has taken a back seat. I hate them ever since they made millions doing easy stuff (because I didn’t think of doing it first 😉 ).

        We’d be very grateful for you services… See you soon!

      • Well editing also depends a lot on what you start with! I know what you mean about the simple idea, but you have loads of good ones, so someday I’m sure we’ll all hate you too 🙂 See you soon!

  9. Some really nice compositions in this collection.

  10. Your photography IN THIS POST has just set the bar a little higher and I know you’ll go even higher than the bar you’ve just set for yourself… they’re all amazing…

    ps. clever title….

  11. What a lovely set of images. I like how you saturated the colors to focus our attention.
    Rather beastly metaphor for marriage/love though… 🙂

  12. Your photographs are stunning. A new fan!

  13. if SHE SAID YES, then who am I to say NO to give you this award
    Yes, I admit, I am addicted to your blog…

  14. Great shots. When did the lock tradition start on that bridge?

    • I’m not sure, during the last couple of years I think. The photos sparked a debate about them on my Facebook page and I learned there that it started in Rome because of a book and caused serious problems with a bridge there. This is a bridge in Paris:

      Dublin City Council remove locks from the Ha’penny Bridge I photographed every now and again to keep it under control. It’s not good for the bridge by all accounts, even leaving simple aesthetics aside.

  15. Thanks for showing me this interesting place Conor! Great photos!

  16. I love the deep and bright colors!

  17. These are amazing shots. The colours are all mixed up… which creates a lovely effect!

  18. great post Connnor, loving the photos 😀

  19. The photos are great! Really great composition and I love what you’ve done with the colours!

    I have to say though that I don’t like this new tradition of putting locks on the Hapenny Bridge. I think the bridge looks more romantic without them!

  20. Absolutely stunning pictures…I always enjoy seeing a new post with new pictures, it brings bits of Ireland over to me here in the U.S. until my son and I can make my way over there one day!! Thank you!

  21. what a sweet tradition captured with exceptional images… made me smile 🙂

  22. I have to say that the locks are fantastic…And Conor, your photographs are excellent…as for the locks, I am sure that seeing them daily to most would become a sight for sore eyes but for me I come from a very small city that has very little creativity…Bev

    • Thanks so much Beverly. Most people who have asked me about them have said they never really noticed them. And your city has you so it’s not doing too bad 🙂

      • Your welcome Conor…As for the city having me, I’m not so sure they like having me around when I speak out about change for the better…We lack the culture of art here so badily…And, well pretty flowers and great trees are wonderful to look at, but my mind becomes a bit saddens by other lacks of…Anyways, I am sure a bending of your mind about the our city you can do without…Smiles you…Bev

  23. I am such a fan of you.

  24. I have no words to describe your work… Beyond breathtaking can come close. Wow.

  25. I love the look of those black and white photos with just one element done in colour – they really pop! Especially when the colour is red and the bits you highlight are love-related … they look like they could be valentine’s greeting cards! So pretty!

  26. Really nice photos. We have something similar in Sydney . Have a look.. 🙂

  27. The Wedding Lock Bridge. Nice. As usual the black&white color contrast is stunning! Cheers!

  28. In my “hometown” Cologne, there are more than 3000 locks at the Hohenzollern bridge by now!
    The mesh on either side is very suitable for putting locks. Its been therefore growing for years (in 2009 there were only 300) and they might even have to improve the loadbearing structure to carry all that extra weight if it continues growing.. I wouldn’t wonder if there were bridge lock tourists who go to all the famous bridges to make sure their love lasts forever. 🙂

  29. Nice images, there is a suggestion this started in Italy.
    I’m not a fan of instagram either.

Sharp energises African PV market with expansion of solar business

Sharp energises African PV market with expansion of solar business
Sharp announces the expansion of its Solar Energy  Solutions business to the African continent. The solar sector in Africa is an important part in Sharp’s strategic worldwide diversification plan, where access to energy is challenging for so many people.
Sharp introduces its industry leading range of 12 photovoltaic (PV) modules and various battery storage solutions which are now available to all customers across Africa.
With a company history of over 100 years, Sharp brings almost 60 years of solar expertise gained from markets across the globe to help address the pressing need to boost electricity access, and the demand for a reliable electricity supply across the African continent.
The growing population of Africa is already putting an increasing strain on existing energy sources. Coupled with a changing climate and longer dry seasons in many countries, the reliance on fossil fuel and hydro power is not sustainable in the long term. Solar PV panels offer an ideal solution thanks to the speed and ease of deployment, and the abundance of sunlight.
Customers across the African continent will have access to Sharp’s full range of reliable, efficient energy solutions and services suitable for residential, commercial and industrial use. Sharp’s range of best-in-class PV modules covers polycrystalline, monocrystalline and back contact technology with modules ranging from 48, 60 to 72 cells.Sharp’s polycrystalline PV panels are particularly attractive for the African market due to their competitive price-performance ratio. In this segment Sharp can offer three different 60 cells panel types (ND-RK Series, ND-RB Series and ND-RJ Series) in either 270W / 275W or Sharp’s project 72 cells panel with 330W.

All Sharp PV modules have a bankable 10 year product guarantee and a 25 year linear power output guarantee. This is further enhanced by the positive power tolerance, which offers up to 5% greater power output achievement than specified on the datasheet. The modules are also certified by leading international bodies and subject to a comprehensive Sharp testing procedure which is up to 5 times stricter than required by IEC.

Barbara Rudek, Business Development Manager Africa comments “Africa has a great opportunity to support its rapid economic growth in a sustainable way, by building an environmentally friendly and reliable energy supply that will provide energy security for generations to come next to job creation. We are excited to play a role in this, and use our decades of experience to help our new partners succeed.”

Sleeping on Sofa Can Be Deadly for Babies, Study Finds

Researchers uncover higher risk for SIDS, suffocation

Please note: This article was published more than one year ago. The facts and conclusions presented may have since changed and may no longer be accurate. And "More information" links may no longer work. Questions about personal health should always be referred to a physician or other health care professional.

HealthDay Reporter

MONDAY, Oct. 13, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- One of the most dangerous places for a sleeping baby is a sofa, according to a new study.

Of nearly 8,000 infant sleeping deaths in the United States, researchers found that about 12 percent were sofa-related. And nearly three-quarters of those infants were newborns.

"It was shocking that one in eight SIDS and infant sleep-related deaths occurs on a sofa," said study co-author Dr. Jeffrey Colvin, a pediatrician at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. "Sofas don't even come to mind when people think of places where infants sleep. The proportion was much, much higher than I ever could have guessed."

SIDS refers to sudden infant death syndrome -- an apparently healthy baby's unexplained death that usually occurs during sleep. Approximately 4,000 babies die of SIDS each year in the United States, though the rate halved in the early 1990s after pediatricians began encouraging parents to place babies to sleep on their backs.

The new study found that infants who died sleeping on a sofa were nearly twice as likely to die from suffocation or strangulation as babies who died sleeping elsewhere. Among those infants, 40 percent died due to suffocation or strangulation, 36 percent had an undetermined cause of death and 24 percent died from SIDS.

Colvin and his colleagues looked at more than 7,900 infant sleeping deaths reported over an eight-year period in 24 states. About half of these deaths occurred in an adult bed, and one in five occurred in a crib. But the researchers focused on the approximately 1,000 sofa deaths.

The findings were published online Oct. 13 in the journal Pediatrics.

The vast majority of the babies who died on sofas were 3 months old or younger. And several other characteristics distinguished these deaths from infant sleep deaths on other surfaces, according to the report.

Babies who died on a sofa were over six times more likely to be sleeping in a new place compared to babies who died on adult beds or in their cribs. This implies that falling asleep on a sofa may have been accidental, said Dr. Cigal Shaham, an attending physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

"Infants often end up sleeping on the sofa because one parent is trying to feed the baby without disturbing the other parent, or they think they will watch TV or do something while they are up with the baby in the middle of the night, but then they unintentionally fall asleep out of exhaustion," she said.

The study also found that babies who died while asleep on the sofa were about twice as likely to be sleeping with someone else compared to babies who died sleeping in other places.

"In nearly 90 percent of the sofa deaths, the infant was sharing the sofa with an adult," Colvin said. "With such little room and the likelihood that the infant would have been placed between the adult and the back cushions, it is not hard to imagine that an infant could become accidentally suffocated by either the adult or the cushions," he said.

In other situations, however, the parents or other caregiver may not have realized the sofa was an unsafe place for a baby as long as they were nearby.

"They may be trying to work or clean or cook, and they think they can keep an eye on the baby if the baby is on the sofa," Shaham said. "But the sofa is so dangerous for infants because it is soft, which means the infant can suffocate more easily, and it often slopes so babies can roll onto their stomachs, roll between the couch and the back cushions or even roll off the sofa."

Babies who died on the sofa were also more likely to have other risk factors for SIDS or other infant sleeping deaths than babies who died elsewhere, according to the study.

For example, the mothers of infants who died on sofas were about 40 percent more likely to have smoked during pregnancy than mothers of infants who died elsewhere.

Infants who died in their sleep on the sofa were more likely to be white and found on their side -- another SIDS risk factor -- compared to babies who died in other places.

"Parents should always remember that SIDS can occur anytime -- during naps or overnight -- and can occur in any location, whether it's at home, in child care or at a babysitter's or relative's house," Colvin said. "The ABC's of safe sleep must always be followed: infants must always sleep Alone, on their Back, and in a Crib, and Alone means no other people and no pillows, quilts, or other soft objects."

Shaham suggested that parents plan ahead and recognize their own limits to avoid accidentally falling asleep with their baby.

"Parents need to be aware of their own exhaustion," she said.

Scientists Discover How 'Bad' Fat Can Turn Into 'Good' Fat

Intense stress, like severe burns, triggered the switch, but drugs might be able to mimic the effect

Please note: This article was published more than one year ago. The facts and conclusions presented may have since changed and may no longer be accurate. And "More information" links may no longer work. Questions about personal health should always be referred to a physician or other health care professional.

En Español

TUESDAY, Aug. 4, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Unhealthy white fat can be transformed into calorie-burning brown fat, researchers report.

Finding a way to burn calories without having to increase physical activity levels could prove crucial in fighting obesity and the health problems it causes, according to researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.

Previous studies have shown that when brown fat is "switched on" in people, it increases metabolism and lowers blood sugar levels.

This study found that white fat in people can be turned into brown fat, but only after severe and prolonged adrenaline-releasing stress. Specifically, the switch from white to brown fat was found in patients who suffered severe burns over about half of their bodies.

The study was published in the Aug. 4 issue of the journal Cell Metabolism.

"Our study provides proof of concept that browning of white fat is possible in humans. The next step is to identify the mechanisms underpinning this effect and then to develop drugs that mimic the burn-induced effect," study author Labros Sidossis, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch, said in a university news release.

Implant-Retained Bridges (Implant-Supported Bridges) – Williston, VT

39 Services ( View All )

Rather than being held in place by your natural teeth such as regular dental bridges, implant-retained bridges are instead supported by crowns on your existing teeth and to the implants in the jawbone. Your new implants are made of titanium and they are surgically incorporated into your jaw to help support the new teeth. Crowns are subsequently attached to the surrounding teeth to assist in securing the implant. This type of bridge would be a good solution to replace several missing teeth, but it can also be used to prevent putting too much strain on the implant. This process performed by Dr. Lauren Shanard utilizes innovative technology to create a lasting and improved smile. At Contemporary Dental Arts in Williston, VT, we only utilize high-quality materials to give you a beautiful and natural smile. Implant-retained bridges are a more affordable remedy to restore lost teeth and help you get back the appearance and function of your previous teeth.

Best Candidates

The best candidates for implant bridges are patients who are missing multiple teeth due to a variety of circumstances, such as trauma, genetics, or lifestyle choices. They may also be a good option for those prone to jaw clenching and teeth grinding. You must have pristine gum health to be eligible to receive an implant. If not, a bone graft or augmentation may need to be done prior to implant installation. Dr. Shanard will evaluate your overall dental health and decide whether implant bridges are right for you.

What to Expect

The installation of implant bridges is a multiple-step procedure. The first step is the surgical placement of the implant into your jaw. The tissue around the gums will then need several months to recover and the implant will need time to integrate properly. Before continuing, Dr. Shanard will verify the successful integration of the implant with digital x-rays. If they show that integration has gone according to plan, then it's on to the next stage of the procedure. Your custom bridge will be connected to your implant and the crowns will be placed on your adjacent teeth. Dr. Shanard will tweak your bridge if necessary for comfort and fit.

Throughout each step of the process, your implant will need to be cleaned daily. Dr. Shanard could also suggest using special tools that allow for a more thorough cleaning between the gum and bridge. You should also keep attending twice yearly cleanings to check the implant as necessary to optimize your oral health.

Insurance Coverage

The cost of the procedure can fluctuate based upon the amount of lost teeth that need to be replaced. During your consult, Dr. Shanard will talk to you about the various restorative dentistry treatments that will best meet your needs and price range. Our financial planner will consult with your insurer, if you have one, to ascertain what may or might not be paid for by your policy. Contemporary Dental Arts also offers numerous payment methods to help make treatment more affordable.

Implant-Retained Bridges

The implant bridge procedure is a promising, sturdy option for the replacement of missing teeth. Using advanced, contemporary technologies, Dr. Shanard provides implant-retained bridges to revive our patients' smiles. To find out if implant-retained bridges would be the right option for you, call Contemporary Dental Arts to arrange your appointment.

We all face interviews in our life at so many levels to land a successful job. Most people face interview more than once in their life and every time make same mistakes. Giving an interview is one of those stressful situations you cannot avoid no matter who you are and what you do. Most mistakes generally people do in the interview are common because every interview is same when it comes to finding a job no matter how many times you have given before. There are mistakes people do again and again even in their third or fourth interview. What are these common mistakes?

Mistakes Everyone Makes in Interviews

Here in this article, we are going to discuss those mistakes everyone makes in an interview no matter who they are or how much experience they have so that you can avoid these mistakes and get the job you dream of without any hurdle and mistakes. Read this article to know more about these mistakes we are talking so that you have a better idea of what we are saying.

Most Common Job Interview Mistakes:

1. Too early or too late:

It is a good habit of turning up few minute early before any big event, like your job interview and it is okay if you are few minute late due to any genuine reason. Your interview is the window of opportunity from where you can fly high and can get your dream job but it doesn’t mean you reach there an hour before the interview or after an hour of the time interview schedule. Turning up late or too early will make your interviewer turn his back on you or leave a bad remark on your profile. The right choice is to prepare well in advance and be there on interview place few minute earlier than the scheduled time. Being on time shows how responsible you are and how important it is for you. So be on time.

2. Poorly Dress up:

Your interview is not some sort of party or you are not going for a walk so that you can dress the way you want. Dressing properly for an interview is as important as giving the right answers. When you turn up wearing something inappropriate for an interview it turns your first impression into a worst impression or maybe you got rejected without an interview. Dressing properly is very important when you are going for an interview. Being poorly dress shows you lack dressing skill and disrespect toward the company.
For an interview wear something casual business dress with appropriate accessories and don’t overdo anything not even your perfume, you don’t want to smell like a flower shop.

3. Unprepared:

Do you think you know everything and don’t need any preparation? If yes then it is time to change your thinking and prepare for the interview well. Being unprepared is one of the most negative things for the person who is going for an interview, you cannot land your dream job if you are not prepared well before an interview. Do necessary preparation before your interview. If you prepare well before interview it shows that how serious and responsible you are for the job and they are not doing any mistake by selecting you. So prepare well before your interview, you can take help online to prepare for your interview.

4. Not greeting properly:

The way you greet your interviewer shows your etiquette and your attitude towards job and company. It is said that your first impression is your last impression, so apply that in your interview as well. When you reach there and greet your interviewer properly it leaves a lasting and positive impression on interviewer as well as work in your favor to get you the job you desire. On the other hand when you greet rudely or arrogantly it leave a negative remark and declare you unfit for the job even before the interview start. So know the importance of right etiquette.

5. No research about company:

Another mistake most people do when they go to their interview is not researching about company properly. It doesn’t take much effort and time when you have internet access on your fingertip, no excuse will work in your favor when interviewer ask “ what you know about our company” and you have no answer to give. Not researching about the company you are going for interview shows your lack of responsibility and how uninterested you are in your job.

Research about the company a little more than what shows on the company website, know their achievements and goals and their policies beforehand so that you can come as well prepared and interested in the job and also you will know if you wanted to work with the company or not beforehand.

6. Nerves get the better of you:

Are you nervous for the interview? We all are. Being nervous for the interview is common for everyone but letting nerves the better of you is the mistake that can cost you your potential job. Yes, it is too hard to not show your nerves or control that feeling but you can prepare well to control your nerves in advance. Controlling your nerves seems very difficult but you can do that with a little practice and self-control. Your interviewer also knows that you are nervous but the way you control and hide shows how effective you are to work in pressure. It also shows your confidence in you.

7. Overconfidence:

If you are confident about yourself then it is good but don’t overdo it. Your overconfidence can ruin things for you. When you show your confidence it looks good on your resume and leaves positive impression on interviewer but your overconfidence lets you do silly mistakes and leave a negative impression. It often happens that, try to show how confident you are people leave their tongue losses which make them do some mistakes which are more costly to pay. Show your controlled behavior and how responsible you are to take on the job.

8. No eye contact:

You are well prepared and you know you are the right person to get the job even you know everything about the job then why you are hiding? Most interviewee does the silly mistake of not making eye contact. Why are you hiding? Have you done something wrong? No then make eye contact, take the interview head on. When you make eye contact with your interviewer it shows that you are not hiding and have guts to do the job, on the other hand when you try to take your eyes elsewhere other than interviewer it shows how uncomfortable and unsuitable you are. Don’t make the mistake of not making eye contact.

9. No question in return:

Most interviewee does the mistake of not asking a question in return. If you think asking the question only applies to an interviewer then you are wrong and going to lose the interview even before they consider hiring you, why? Because asking question in return shows your interest in the company and in your work, it also shows that how serious you are for the job and had done the homework in researching about the company. Asking right question to the interviewer takes you one step closer to your dream job. It also satiates your curiosity if you have something you didn’t get an answer online. Ask right and an appropriate question like their policies, job schedule, there plans of expanding etc.

10. Criticizing about the previous workplace:

Do you hate your previous job? Don’t you like your previous workplace? Or you think your boss was an idiot? If yes then do not tell this to your interviewer. Probably we all do have some complaints about our previous job and workplace but showing your negative thoughts in front of your interviewer is one grave mistake. You interviewer can think you will do the same with their company as well, so avoid criticizing your previous workplace. Criticizing your previous workplace will do more harm, keep your tongue in control and say positive things only about your previous colleagues, boss, and workplace.

11. Show off:

Showing off is another mistake we all do when you go for an interview. The interviewer doesn’t have any interest in you other than what you can do in their company and how good you are in doing so. When you show off about yourself it gives the image of an arrogant man who thinks himself higher than anyone else so don’t do this. Try to be humble, polite and easy going so that you give the impression that you are easy to work with and approachable. No company wants an employee who is arrogant and too over confident to accept his faults and weakness or his mistakes.

12. Lying:

Do not lie to your interviewer ever; do not say something you cannot do or not true about you. Lying to your interviewer represent you as fraud and cheater, someone who can even sell them off to get the job. So avoid saying something you cannot do because when you caught it will just erase all your quality from your resume. Saying truth always works in your favor, accept if you cannot do certain things or do not know particular things. We all have something we do not know or we cannot do and accepting it doesn’t make you any less.

13. Rude or arrogant remark:

Do not say anything rude or arrogant about the company you are giving an interview for as it shows that you don’t have respect for the company. Show your respect, how much you admire and like to work with the company because this is what your interviewer want to listen not something rude about company as they already know their weakness and faults and they don’t need you to point out. And also you are here to work, not to give rude remarks about company so avoid doing so.

14. Only focus on money:

We all work to earn money and it is the universal truth of doing the job but if you say this to your interviewer it will look bad on your resume. When your interviewer ask why you want this job then say something positive about company and things you like about company which make you want to do the job here as well as things you are going to learn etc. It is good to say truth but its impact depend on how you are saying it, so choose your word carefully and don’t come off as greedy and money-minded.

15. No thank you note:

If you think your work is to go and give an interview and that’s it then you are wrong. After giving interview follow it with thank you note or email that shows your positive attitude as well as your genuine interest in the job. It doesn’t matter if you got the job or not, leave a thank you note and thank your interviewer for the time and opportunity properly before leaving the place. When you leave thank you note after the interview, it gets you in the notice and improve your chances of selection so do it.

These are the mistakes almost all interviewee do in their interview whether it is their first or fourth because of the anxiety of getting job and nervousness but to get your dream job you need to prepare well. Avoid these mistakes and learn from these points so that you can excel your interview.

We know it is easier said than done but true effort makes everything possible. If you try and practice you can easily follow these steps to avoid making these mistakes. We wish you all the best for the interview and hope our points can help you in getting your job.

the small gift of the holidays— or when a cousin comes to visit

“It’s an universal law–
intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education.
An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience,
whereas truly profound education breeds humility.”

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

(the cousins on the couch resting after the big meal / Julie Cook / 2017)

With the arrival of this almost two month long “holiday” season–that time
prior to Thanksgiving, of which usually is now ushered in just following Halloween,
with the big lead up to feasting and fellowshipping—
all the way to just after New Years, with its big exhale and let down…
many of us will experience the comings and goings of family and friends
those who come home to roost or those who are simply passing through.

Perhaps it’s us who are the ones doing the visiting…
making those often precarious trips here, there and yon

Either way…all sorts of folks are coming and going.

College students return home.
Schools shut down for the holidays
Work schedules become erratic.
Vacations begin…
Things just become topsy turvy… for what was once just a couple of weeks
to something now which has morphed into almost a 2 month celebration.

As a kid, do you remember having family come visit for the holidays…
or maybe you were the one traveling with family to do the visiting?

Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, cousins…. folks you wouldn’t have seen but
maybe once or twice a year,
but folks who your parents would read you the riot act over….
Strongly reminding you as to what it means to being kind, patient, polite
and not to grouse when having to share your toys, your room, your time,
your space–or to, in turn, tolerate having to be the recipient of perhaps
the not so most hospitable relative.

Older great aunts who would pinch your cheeks, kissed your face with bright red lipstick
as their extra strong perfume lingered cloyingly in your nostrils….
Or of that very loud and very obnoxious uncle who just made for awkward conversation…
yet would always slip you a dollar when no one was watching.

You could see your dad biting his tongue, your mom “playing nice” and you’d figure
if they could handle it, you could handle the little cousin who constantly
followed you around the house while your older cousin hid your favorite stuffed animal while having to sit by that aunt who insisted on your trying her best pickled ham casserole.

Family…friends…visiting—it’s what the holidays bring.

And therein lies the hidden gift of the holidays…

I thought about all of this today when I finally sat down,
exhausted from the days of lead up cooking and the few hours of cleaning
for what amounts to about a 20 minute meal…
when looking at our son and daughter-n-law’s dog, Alice the grand-dog, who had jumped
up on one the end of the couch, making herself at home,
home on the end that one of our cats, Peaches, stakes out as her own.

Disgusted, she left the room.

Percy however was not to be displaced.
He loves his mother and doesn’t want to share her with his usurper cousin….
so he jumped up and settled in right by my side—

17 pounds of cat verses 85 pounds of black lab….both wanting, needing, to be
by the one they look to for food, comfort and security.
Yet not particularly caring for one another.

And so they tolerate one another…they share their space, albeit it precariously.
They “play nice” to coexist in close proximity because they are “family”—
like it or not.

Alice is here until Monday.
Percy is here for the duration.
Yet they will make the best of this not so favorable situation of time
because this time of year, these holidays just bring out the better, the kinder,
the more generous in us all.

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting
to get anything back.
Then your reward will be great,
and you will be children of the Most High,
because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Luke 6:35-36

What’s in a commandment?

“God gave us free agency, and then gave us the commandments to keep us free.”
― Cecil B. DeMille

(lone sparrow / Julie Cook / 2015)

Just hearing the word “commandment” can make me feel somewhat oppressed, burdened, guilty, poorly behaved and much like a naughty little child. As in there is this heavy, as in literally heavy two tablets, full of laws hovering over my head which I’m suppose to be living my life by. Wanting but not always feeling as if I’m following them to the letter of the Law. Oh I don’t mean those biggie rules. . .the whole murder and stealing business. . .I try to stay away from those, but its to some of the lesser ones I think most of us falter over—as in who isn’t a bit envious of a neighbor’s windfalls and who among us hasn’t fallen at the foot of a golden calf such as our fixation with our gadgets, cars, clothes, food, yada, yada, yada. . .

As I continue reading Meditating On The Word by Dietrich Bonhoeffer with translation by David McI. Gracie, I have reached the final section of the small devotional. The book closes out with Bonhoeffer’s commentary of Psalm 119.

Psalm 119 or as it is known in Hebrew “Ashrei temimei derech” (happy are those whose way is perfect) is the longest Psalm, as well as chapter, in the Bible. The psalm is divided into 22 stanzas with each stanza containing 8 verses. Psalm 119 was supposedly Bonhoeffer’s favorite psalm and he began his reflection, intending it as a devotional for the young seminarians he was instructing, but this was all just shortly before his involvement in the German resistance and Bonhoeffer never finished his commentary. Bonhoeffer has chosen to reflect on a section at a time making this particular commentary the longest in this little devotional.

With life proving to be a great challenge this week as each daily crisis builds upon the next crisis, my own sense of well-being, nerves, fortitude, heart and spirit have come under siege.
With aching spirit, dejected soul, tear streaked face I have crawled into bed each night fretful and filled with dread, despair and grave concern.

It is indeed during such hard times of life–those times that are most painful, challenging, and traumatic. . .those times when we are filled to the top and overflowing with weariness, fatigue, sorrow and sadness, that just as a lost child may cry out to a parent, I, you, me cry out.
“Hear me Oh Lord. . .”

It is at such ebbing times that we find our thoughts, soul, mind and heart in unison crying out to the One and only One who we know and think and hope can offer us help.

The Great I AM
G-D (as those most devout of the Hebrew faith do not find it possible to even write His name as it is the most holy of names)
God Almighty
Heavenly Father

His presence often comes in the form of an unexplained peace, a needed inner strength, the aid of a stranger or friend who comes calling out of the blue, a profound wisdom, or the opening of a window when every door is slammed and locked shut.
His Being comes to us in song, words of wisdom, a warm embrace, a gentle breeze, or a fierce wind.
And even frustratingly, He may simply come to us as Silence. . .
But rest assured, whenever we call, come He does.

As I was reading over the devotional’s commentary regarding God’s commandments two nights ago, I was suddenly struck by God’s power as mirrored by Bonhoeffer’s own reflections on the subject. . .

4 You laid down your commandments, that we should fully keep them.

That in this entire psalm God is addressed, and not human beings, is shown by the “you” with which the one who is praying now turns to God. Nor do the commandments stand in the center of this psalm, it is rather the One who commands. Not an “it”, an idea, but a “you” meets us in the commandments. A further sign of this is found in the Hebrew word for “commandments” in this verse. It is a word that cannot be translated by a single word of ours. It derives from the verb for seeking, visiting, paying attention to. Hence, the commandments are what God looks at, pays attention to, and the means by which he seeks and visits the human being. The commandments then reflect God’s way toward the human being. They have a definite purpose and goal for me. They are not given for their own sake, but for our sake, that we “should fully keep them.” We ought to keep them in the sense of holding fast to them; indeed, we should do so fully, with all our might, so that we do not lose them or let them be torn away from us. God’s commandment is not only here for the moment, but for the duration. It is intended to penetrate deep within us and to be held fast in all situations of life.

Did it ever occur to any of us that God’s decreed commandments were not merely sets of laws, the proverbial dos and don’ts for human beings, but rather that these commandments were actually extensions of God’s “visiting” and “seeking us,” His actually paying attention to us??!!

That God, the most Holy and Omnipotent God would, though His words, wish to visit us, seek us, pay us attention. . .

So as I closed the book for the night, turning off the light and laying back onto my pillow while staring blankly out into the dark, contemplating my own perception of the idea of a commandment, I felt a tremendous sense of Power that was far greater than the trials of my latest tribulations. The knowledge that there is One who is greater than any suffering or pain who simply wishes to seek me out with His Laws which sweetly translates into Love, left me rather amazed. I also found a Peace along with a new and deeper appreciation for what most of my life had seemed to be a mere list of rules and heavenly dos and don’ts.

And as I closed my eyes, I whispered into the darkness. . .may Your will be my own. . . .
