Since Thanksgiving is tomorrow, I thought it was the perfect time to talk about what I am thankful for this year. I know this is a very common topic right now, so I'll keep it short & sweet.
My beautiful baby girl - she has changed our life in every way imaginable.
My incredible husband. I am the luckiest girl in the world.
I work from home full time. No commuting in bad weather!
My husband and I haven't been a victim to the bad economy, we are both blessed to have good, stable jobs and not in danger of losing them.
My family is healthy, especially my mother who is still cancer free.
We have a caring, trustworthy and reliable daycare provider that we are so lucky to have found.
When I see a story on the news or in my local newspaper about a family that is in a bad situation ... evicted from their home, no money, no food, no where to go... it makes me stop & think how lucky I really am. My problem is, I want to help everyone. I want to help homeless dogs in shelters, families that need food, babies, animals, cures for diseases... you name it, I wish I could help them all.
So instead, I did my part and donated some baby food to the Morris County Food pantry ... and we usually donate some gifts to some local families at Christmas time. It's a good feeling even if I can't save the world.
For those of you that can ... check out your county's website or your local newspaper to see how you can help out. There are toy drives everywhere I look, it's a great opportunity to give a needy child a toy at Christmas. Even a few dollars can help a very needy family around the holidays. I hate to think of a child going hungry or not getting any toys at Christmas time. It makes me sad. It also makes me very thankful for everything in my life and I know I am blessed.
Every little bit helps! Happy Thanksgiving from me and Sweet T.
Very sweet of you to donate food for babies. You know how important and expensive it can be. It will be great when your daughter is older to teach her how important helping others is!
Thanks everyone. It did make me feel good. I am making a list of stuff to donate to the food pantry again in a few days... I also want to do Operation Holiday... It's a local Charity run through the Daily Record that I try to help with every year. They choose local people in need and ask for specific things for those people. You can even gift wrap your present so it seems like Christmas to them when they get the gift! I think I'll blog about Operation HOliday this week so maybe some others can get involved in it... It's a great program.
It's official - Christmas is here!
Julianna is 6 months old - That's half a year!
Fun Pictures & Exciting News!


Tooth decay occurs when bacteria is left to eat away at the enamel or dentine of the teeth, resulting in cavities: holes or structural damage in the teeth. Our skilled and experienced dentists in Mill Hill use white fillings to fill cavities and restore full form and function back to decayed teeth. White fillings also completely seal off the area, preventing the teeth from suffering further damage from bacteria.
I have metal fillings. Can I switch them for white ones?
In some cases it's not always possible to remove metal filings and successfully replace them with white ones. It may be best to switch to white fillings at our dental surgery in Mill Hill only when your metal ones need replacing.
You may also find it worth considering other more discreet restorations that match the shade of your teeth, such as crowns or inlays. Your dentist in Mill Hill will talk you through your options at your consultation.
Our state of the art dental clinic in Mill Hill offers the finest quality white fillings made from porcelain, ceramic, or composite resin.
White fillings can last many years -- just as long as metal ones. How long exactly depends on your teeth and amount of pressure they undergo on a day-to-day basis. Your private dentist in Mill Hill can give you more information on the longevity of your white fillings.
The cost of white fillings depends on both the size and material used. Our dental practice in Mill Hill offers white fillings at affordable prices, which will also be discussed at your consultation.
Are you interested in white fillings? Book your consultation at Chase Lodge Dental today!

1920's Land Boom and Bust
Florida's Land Boom of the 1920s
Turning $1,700 into $300,000, at Least for a While
An elderly man in Pinellas County spent his life savings of $1,700 in the early 1920s on a piece of local property. He was just one of thousands of Americans participating in the great Florida land boom. But his story differs from most – his sons committed him to a sanitarium for his action. When the land's value reached $300,000 in 1925, the man's lawyer got him released to sue his children. "In the 1920s in Florida the difference between genius and idiot was never so narrow," says the Florida History Internet Center's (FHIC) website, Florida in the 1920s: The Great Florida Land Boom.
That's as much of that story as is told by FHIC. Whether the man went on to lock in his vast paper profit or lose it in the downturn that was right around the corner, we don't know.
FHIC says Florida in the early 1920s "was the focus of one of the greatest economic and social phenomenon in American history." Hundreds of thousands of people poured into the Sunshine State. "For the first time Americans had the time and money to travel to Florida to invest in real estate" and had automobiles to bring them, FHIC reports.
Land speculators who recognized this economic change bought Florida land at low prices and sold it at a large profit, according to Florida's Land Boom, a University of South Florida website. FHIC adds that two-thirds of all Florida real estate was sold by mail to speculators who never visited the state.
The Florida Legislature and the Florida Chamber of Commerce did their parts to keep the land boom going, according to FHIC. It reports that the Legislature encouraged permanent residence in the state by passing laws in 1924 prohibiting state income and inheritance taxes. The Chamber of Commerce contributed favorable newspaper articles about the virtues of Florida land investment.
In just five years from 1920 to 1925, Florida's population soared from 968,470 to 1.26 million, according to the University of South Florida website. FHIC reports that during this time, developers created entire Florida cities. One land boom city is Temple Terrace, adjacent to Tampa. It is named after the hybrid citrus fruit Temple (a combination of orange and tangerine), which grew in the area.
THE BUST
By the mid-1920s, "there was plenty of evidence that the Florida Land Boom was on swampy ground," FHIC reports. "Forbes magazine warned that Florida land prices were based solely upon the expectation of finding a customer, not upon any reality of land value." New York bankers who were losing money over Florida investments "attacked the entire operation as one great sham."
FHIC continues the tale of the collapse: "In 1925, the inevitable began to occur in the real estate industry. Land prices had reached such a zenith that new customers failed to arrive and old customers began to sell their land … Caught without customers, many Realtors folded up business … The news of the Florida Land Bust crippled the tourist market. Despite the continued boom in the United States stock market, people no longer trusted buying Florida land."
"The boom stopped as suddenly as it had started," says the University of South Florida website.
According to FHIC, a 1926 hurricane that killed 415 and destroyed more than 13,000 homes in Florida "was an unwelcome coup de grace to the Florida Land Bust."

Infront acquires majority shareholding in Omnigon
Wednesday, January 20, 2016 - 15:54
Infront Sports & Media has purchased a 51 percent stake in Omnigon, one of the leading digital services firms within the sports and entertainment industries. The investment, effective immediately, makes Infront the majority shareholder of Omnigon and follows the successful initiation of a strategic partnership announced in October 2015.
The acquisition supports the full deployment of Infront Digital Solutions, providing clients with advanced services across the entire digital ecosystem and value chain from one central source – including strategy and monetisation.
Complementing Infront's existing digital service capabilities, Omnigon will retain its current brand identity and continue to operate as a standalone entity. The successful management team, led by CEO Igor Ulis, will remain. Omnigon, headquartered in New York, has 250+ staff in offices across North America and Europe. The company has established itself as a market leader in digital services, as it counts some of the world's largest brands as partners including the PGA TOUR, NASCAR and the Miami Heat. In 2015, Omnigon designed and developed the award-winning official Rugby World Cup mobile app, downloaded by millions globally, and just last month launched an all-new website on behalf of AS Roma.
Omnigon will contribute its proven expertise, technological and creative know-how to the Infront Group's digital expert unit and its extensive product portfolio. Precisely, Infront Digital Solutions offers services in three key areas along the digital value chain: overall digital strategy and monetisation, creative and technology services, and content delivery. The majority of Omnigon's services complement the first and the second stream; they will become the key driver of technological solutions within the Infront Group.
A central team operating from the Infront headquarters links all of Infront's digital operations and coordinates the services contributed by the different expert units within the group. This includes dedicated content, production and technological expertise, provided through Infront's digital media and post production department as well as its subsidiaries Host Broadcast Services (HBS) and Omnigon.
Philippe Blatter, President & CEO of Infront, said: "Our target is to be both a thought leader and a global premium service provider for digital solutions. During the initial strategic partnership with Omnigon, it became apparent that the company ideally complements the existing Wanda Sports businesses with its digital know-how and solutions. It is now my pleasure to warmly welcome all Omnigon employees to the Infront Group. Supporting clients to leverage and monetize sports consumption across the digital landscape and remain at the forefront of development, we will offer powerful one-stop-shop solutions as well as custom- made products. With our strengthened Infront Digital Solutions unit and service portfolio we want to drive digital progress, particularly in Europe, North America and Asia."
Igor Ulis, CEO of Omnigon, added: "Recent months have fully convinced us that Omnigon fits very well within Infront's team and culture, its working approach and client focus. Our current clients can be assured their points of contact at Omnigon and the high-quality level of support and delivery they've become accustomed to will remain unchanged. There is tremendous upside as this now means our clients will have access to an even broader service portfolio. We are fully convinced this step will help us elevate Omnigon to the next level, benefitting from the overall competencies, skills and network of the Infront Group. We are looking forward to working with Infront in this new capacity, bringing an even stronger value proposition to the sports industry, while supporting new and existing partners in exciting ways."
In the past few months, Infront and Omnigon have collaborated on several key projects. Work is underway to develop a new app for the German Football Association's DFB Cup and provide digital services to Lega Serie A. Leveraging Omnigon's experience from projects with the largest properties in the North American sports market, Infront and Omnigon will continue working together to design and build scalable, innovative digital platforms that enhance the fan experience everywhere, increasing the loyalty and engagement of the fans while building additional revenue streams for the partners.

I'm not doing so well at that whole head in game thing. Not today.
I have a lot of distractions.
Of course, it would help if I could decide exactly what my game is, I suppose.
Then again, see also my post on specialization.
Anyway, I've caused some minor disasters at work. Okay, maybe they aren't minor. I suppose that depends on who you ask, but we agree on the disaster part.
How do you keep your head in your game(s)?
Why do we have trouble keeping our heads in our games?
Where is my head if not in the game?
I believe this is so true in the sense that those really are the only three choices that will lead to any true change and in turn, hopefully, contentment.
In regards to your question "Where is my head if not in the game?" I suggest that it is likely constantly trying to figure what fun, adventurous, exciting, NEW game you'd like to be playing in, and what position you'll play, and for what team, and, and… But I offer that while you're still in this one, play it whole heartedly so that you can bow out gracefully knowing you always gave it your all and move on to your grand new adventures that I know you will. Easier said than done, I know. I don't mean by this to suggest you should just settle and stay in this game and forget moving on, but simply to be present where you are, when you are, will always feel better than the alternative in my opnion.
A) Have you and Laura been talking?
B) Thank you for sharing some real wisdom. It's the kind of stuff that's impossible to remember when I'm looking for a new game.
I may be putting away the dishes but at the moment that's exactly what I'm doing until it's done.
I get the feeling that I'm late to GTD trend ~2004–2007. I've read & reread the David Allen books; I subscribe to the podcasts; I follow Merlin Mann; I've invested a small fortune in list manager software. I'm even a dork with my own Hipster PDA.
1) As we live our lives accumulate a critical mass of responsibilities & commitments.
2) If you don't manage them then they will either manage you and/or you will get lost.
3) Don't underestimate the amount of time & resources spent maintaining your current commitments. Beyond that is your opportunity for change.
4) Make & maintain lists of your current & intended projects.
5) When you're in doubt about what you should be doing in the "bigger picture" start closing loops: water the plants, walk the dog, make the bed.
I like that list, particularly the last item. Closing loops.
It reminds me a little of what a friend who had gone through depression recovery (12-step for manic depression to over simplify) told me about the best way to feel better when depressed: make a list of all the things you see that need fixing from the smallest and closest at hand to the largest and furthest away, then start fixing from the place you're in now going outward and don't worry about perfection along the way. Pick up the coffee mug with mold growing in it next to your bed and wash it. Go make your bed. Take a shower. Put on clean clothes. A day or two of that and you can't feel bad about the mess of your immediate surroundings. It's not the whole answer to depression or life, but it seems like it is one of those fundamental things contemporary American culture teaches us to forget about. You know, how can you be well, keep your life together, and do all those little things of living if you haven't watched the latest 15 episodes of whatever, and consumed everything in sight, etc?

Coronary Thrombosis: The No. 1 Killer
By W.J. McCormick, MD
Summary: A Canadian medical doctor explains why he believes nutritional deficiencies, primarily of vitamins B and C, combined with cigarettes, pesticides, and alcohol, lead to coronary thrombosis. From the Insurance Index, 1953. Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research reprint 5B.
[The following is a transcription of the original Archives document. To view or download the original document, click here.]
Since the beginning of the present century, diseases of the heart and blood vessels have been steadily assuming a more prominent place in our vital statistics, and in this group we find coronary thrombosis in the lead—a greater cause of death than cancer, tuberculosis, and diabetes combined. So rapidly has the mortality from this disease risen in recent years that it is now the principal cause of death for all [people] past fifty years of age.
For some time the increasing toll taken by heart disease has been attributed to the increasing tempo and stress of modern life. Even the medical profession, which tops all other professions in mortality from coronary disease, is thus inclined to exonerate itself on the ground of the strenuous nature of modern medical practice. Recently, however, a more attractive explanation has attained general acceptance: the theory that our aging population, due to the average increase in life span, results in more people reaching the age in which diseases due to senility take their toll. Both these theories are conducive to medical complacency.
A striking example of this tendency was manifested in a public lecture in Toronto recently by a leading health authority in the statement that "there are few more creditable things for a city to have than a high cardiac death rate." In further explanation the speaker said, "The city with the best public health always has the highest cardiac death rate because the 'one-hoss shay' has to give out sometime, and it is the most natural way to pass out between [ages] sixty and seventy"—the implication being that in such a city a larger number of people must have lived to the age of sixty or more, at which time they would naturally be subject to general senile disintegration.
Unfortunately, however, this specious theory does not harmonize with the facts for the following reasons:
1. The type of heart disease chiefly responsible for the rising mortality, coronary thrombosis, is not, strictly speaking, a senile disease, since it takes most of its victims between the ages of forty-five and fifty-five years and not a few below the age of forty, at a time when their mental and physical activities are at their best. In the case of the "one-hoss shay," it "went to pieces all at once and nothing first."
2. This theory does not explain the unprecedented increase in heart disease relative to pneumonia and cancer, both of which it has superseded as cause of death in recent years. Neither does it explain the higher female incidence relative to that of the male, which will be referred to later.
3. While it is true that the average span of life has been doubled in the last half century, this has been accomplished mainly by reduction in infant and child mortality, as a result of better control of infectious diseases and improved feeding. Unfortunately, however, adult nutrition has not been materially improved, and the toll of degenerative diseases of middle life has not been reduced or postponed. Accordingly, post-age-sixty-five life expectancy has only slightly increased.
4. The rate of increase in heart disease, particularly coronary thrombosis, has been disproportionately greater than the rate of aging of our population. Vital statistics of deaths of American physicians from 1933 to 1940, inclusive, indicate a rise in cardiac deaths from 33 percent to 41 percent of total deaths. Obviously, the aging of the medical profession in this short time could not possibly account for such an increase, particularly the relatively higher increase in coronary deaths from 3 percent to 19 percent in this same period. Neither is it reasonable to believe that improved methods in diagnosis could have brought about such a change in so short a time, since the electrocardiographic method of diagnosis has now been in use for fully forty years, and physicians as a rule have consultations with leading specialists in their own illnesses.
Fortunately, not all physicians have taken such a rosy view of this rising tide of heart disease. Thirty five years ago, Aikman sounded a note of alarm in these words: "It is a well known fact that diseases of the heart and blood vessels have increased at an alarming rate in the last few years. Of course, the stress of modern life is chiefly blamed, but it seems that there must be some other great etiological factor that works in such a slow and insidious fashion that it is not easily recognized."1
In an effort to discover the nature of this insidious causal factor, I have made a survey by means of a questionnaire mailed to the widows or next of kin of middle-aged males who have recently died suddenly in the Toronto district, assuming that many of these would be coronary thrombosis cases. It was thought that the widows of these men would be best qualified to supply detailed information regarding their personal living habits—diet, exercise, use of narcotics, age, height, weight, etc. After ruling out deaths due to accidents and infectious diseases, there were 269 replies suitable for tabulation. Of this number, 151 were found to be cases in which a definite diagnosis of coronary thrombosis had been made by the attending physician or coroner. The remaining 118 cases included noncoronary heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage, cancer, anemia, nephritis, diabetes, etc.
In the coronary-thrombosis group (151 cases), the average age at death was found to be 52 years; the average weight was 168 lb. Sixteen were 200 lb or over, one being 295 lb. 94 percent were reported to be tobacco smokers—and 6 percent were nonsmokers—at time of death. A further check on the latter elicited the fact that a number of them had discontinued smoking a month or so before death, either on their own volition or on medical advice. 58 percent of the smokers were rated as "heavy smokers," and 42 percent [were rated] as moderate or light smokers. 55 percent were addicted to alcohol as well. The average age of the heavy smokers at death was 47 years; that of the moderate and light smokers was 58 1/2 years; that of those addicted to tobacco and alcohol was 47 1/2 years. (Apparently the addition of alcohol, as advised by some writers to counteract the vasoconstrictor effect of nicotine, did not prolong life in these cases.) The two youngest in this group, who died at 27 and 29 years, were heavy users of both tobacco and alcohol.
In the noncoronary group as a whole (118 cases), the average age at death was 60 1/2 years. 66 percent of this group were addicted to tobacco, and 29 percent [were addicted] to alcohol as well.
Regarding the nutritional habits of the coronary-thrombosis group, it was found that as a whole there was a marked tendency to deficient intake of the B and C vitamins—in that nearly all were predominantly white-bread users and low in their use of fresh fruits and salads. The ingestion of milk was also suboptimal, the principal liquids being tea, coffee, and alcoholic and soft drinks.
The most striking feature in the above findings, and that providing the most obvious etiological clue, is the higher incidence of tobacco smoking and use of alcohol in the coronary-thrombosis group—94 percent and 55 percent, respectively—as compared with the combined noncoronary group, 66 percent and 29 percent, respectively. The breakdown of the age figures in the coronary-thrombosis group also provides evidence of the precipitating effect of narcotic addiction in this disease, the average ages at death being as follows: 47 1/2 years for those addicted to both tobacco and alcohol, 52 years for those addicted to tobacco only, and 59 1/2 years for those not addicted to either. The definite correlation of the life span and the degree of narcotic addiction is most significant, the heavier addiction being associated with a corresponding drop in average age at death.
A correlated study of other thrombotic disease processes may help to clarify the possible etiological role of tobacco. Another form of arterial thrombosis, known as thromboangiitis obliterans, or Buerger's disease, has long been recognized as being etiologically related to tobacco smoking. Silbert says: "The importance of tobacco as the exciting cause of this disease must be stressed. The evidence in support of this contention is overwhelming. In over a thousand cases of this disease studied by the writer, a typical case in a nonsmoker has never been seen. Cessation of smoking regularly arrests the disease, while continued use of tobacco is coincident with progression."2
The possible causal relationship between coronary thrombosis and Buerger's disease is shown by the closely parallel features in their symptomatology and pathology, as follows:
The greater susceptibility of the male
The common presenile age incidence
Periodic vasospasm, manifested in the former by anginal attacks and in the latter by intermittent claudication, with muscular pain and cramps
Organic vascular changes, having their inception in Buerger's disease in the vasa vasorum, leading to progressive impairment in structure and function of the musculature proper, while in coronary thrombosis the initial changes occur in the coronary arteries, the anatomical counterpart of the vasa vasorum (viewing the heart as a muscular expansion of the vascular system), resulting in secondary changes in the heart muscle
Thrombotic occlusion of the involved blood vessels, leading to gangrene as a final eventuality in Buerger's disease and to infarction and necrosis in coronary thrombosis when not intercepted by a fatal termination in the initial seizure
The two diseases are not infrequently concomitant. In reference to such cases, Lewis says: "It is to be recognized that in these patients tolerance of exercise may be masked by breathlessness or anginal pain; this, by limiting the exercise taken, will conceal a weakness of the legs, just as, reversely, a severe intermittent claudication may conceal angina of effort by prohibiting the amount of exercise necessary to induce the latter."3
A partial explanation of the precipitating role of tobacco in thrombotic disease may be found in the well recognized sympatheticoadrenal protective response to irritation or injury, as elucidated by Cannon,4 which consists in the release of epinephrine from the adrenal glands as a result of sympathetic-nerve stimulation. This in turn brings about a glycolytic release of blood sugar from the liver, resulting in temporary hyperglycemia. This mobilization of blood sugar in the case of tobacco smoking—which may be detected within a few minutes following the beginning of smoking (Haggard and Greenberg5)—is then a protective response of nature, in which the body reserves are called upon to repel a toxic invasion of the organism, the surplus of blood sugar being utilized in the maintenance of tissue oxidation so essential to detoxication, as shown in a previous paper.6
The visceral changes associated with this response are all capable of aiding in the protective action. These consist in the cessation or slowing of gastrointestinal motility and digestion, thus releasing energy for other needs; the shifting of blood from abdominal organs to organs immediately essential for muscular effort, as in increased heart action and respiration; and the discharge of extra red-blood corpuscles and platelets from the spleen, thus increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity and coagulability of the blood as an emergency protection in possible hemorrhage.
It is this last feature of this protective response—the increased coagulability of the blood—which, if often repeated, as in smoking, may become pathogenic by favoring the development of thrombotic processes. The work of Josue6A gives support to this hypothesis. He found that small, repeated doses of adrenaline, given intravenously to experimental animals every other day for several weeks or months, would produce multiple atheromatous lesions of the aorta similar to those found in man.
The findings of De Takats7 also seem significant in this respect. He presents data to show that various procedures and drugs that stimulate the autonomic nervous system shorten the blood-coagulation time, apparently through the mediation of the adrenal glands. A similar adrenal reaction occurs in postoperative conditions as a result of the traumatic shock, the associated loss of blood, and the toxic anoxic effect of the anesthetic, and it might thus account for the incidence of postoperative thrombosis. Recently Ochsner et al.8 have brought forward considerable evidence to indicate that the rising incidence of postoperative thrombosis may be due in part to the prevalent use of antibiotics, since all of these have been found to increase the blood-coagulation rate. The protective sympatheticoadrenal response to toxic invasion may here also prove to be a factor.
There is still another approach to this problem: the indirect effect of tobacco and narcotics in general on the [individual's] nutritional status, particularly the vitamin reserve, and the possible influence of such effect on the development of thrombosis. Quastel and Wheatley9 have shown that narcotics (which would include tobacco and alcohol) greatly increase the bodily requirement of vitamin B1, thus increasing tendency to deficiency of same. The tissue concentration of vitamin C is also known to be rapidly depleted in toxic conditions, endogenous or exogenous. When [it is] thus utilized, less of the vitamin remains for physiological needs, thus accentuating the morbific effect. (To illustrate, I have found in clinical research that the smoking of one cigarette increases the bodily requirement of vitamin C by 25 mg—or the vitamin-C content of one orange—thus precluding the likelihood of any heavy smoker ever attaining an optimal tissue level of this vitamin.)
Recently, Paterson10 has called attention to the low vitamin-C status of coronary thrombosis cases. He found that 81 percent of such cases in hospital practice had a subnormal blood-plasma level, as compared with 55.8 percent in a corresponding group of general public-ward patients. He attributes the precipitation of thrombosis to a prior subintimal capillary hemorrhage at the site of the lesion, which he has verified at autopsy. He regards this hemorrhagic prelude as due to vitamin C avitaminosis and suggests that patients with this disease be assured of an adequate intake of this vitamin.
A brief survey of the physiological effects of deficiency of vitamins B1 and C may clarify the pathological mechanism leading to thrombosis and occlusion of blood vessels. An outstanding feature of vitamin B1 hypovitaminosis is the tendency to hypotonicity of all nonstriated muscle tissue, which would include the musculature of the coronary arteries. This hypotonia results in vascular dilatation and consequent slowing of blood movement, even to stasis in the capillaries at times.
Furthermore, the lack of the catalytic action of this vitamin results in an undue accumulation of the carbohydrate metabolites, notably lactic acid, pyretic acid, and carbon dioxide. As these reach a higher level of concentration in the blood, the oxygen uptake in the tissues is lowered, and the subject suffers from increasing fatigability, shortness of breath, drowsiness, cyanosis, and other signs of anoxemia. While these are characteristic signs of vitamin B1 hypovitaminosis, they are also often premonitory signs of coronary and myocardial insufficiency.
Gaskell11 and Langley12 find that increase in blood lactic acid level produces vasodilatation, while Shepard13 claims that increased carbon dioxide produces cellular swelling, resulting in an increase in the volume of individual red-blood corpuscles and consequently a retarding of the capillary blood velocity. He believes these factors may be the determining events in the development of thrombosis.
According to Findlay,14 the principal effect of vitamin C hypovitaminosis is the tendency to capillary fragility, resulting in edema and petechial hemorrhage due to weakening and swelling of the endothelial walls, which is associated with damage of the intercellular cement substance. This causes retardation of blood flow and passive congestion, resulting in deficient oxygenation of the tissues, all of which favor thrombotic development.
A correlation of all these observations points significantly to the possible pathogenic sequences of tobacco and alcohol addiction and consequent vitamin deficiency as related to coronary thrombogenesis.
The discussion of this subject would be incomplete without reference to the recently advanced theory of cholesterol relationship. While it must be admitted that a high blood-cholesterol level is generally associated with atherosclerosis and thrombosis, there is much evidence to indicate that disturbances in endogenous synthesis and metabolism may be more responsible than excessive ingestion of this substance, since attempts to lower blood cholesterol by restricting cholesterol intake have not been very successful.
Biskind15 claims that deprivation of the B and C vitamins or their depletion in liver detoxication of exogenous poisons may result in liver damage and loss of ability to metabolize cholesterol, with consequent high blood levels of same. He states that patients so afflicted are usually advised not to eat liver, eggs, and other cholesterol-rich foods and that this interdiction further impairs nutritional status. "When these patients are placed on a regime combining the available crystalline vitamins and desiccated or cooked whole liver, there is usually a dramatic reduction in blood cholesterol despite the greatly increased intake."
The findings of Schlichter et al.16 also seem to indicate that a preconditioning factor in the affected blood vessel involving injury to the local vasa vasorum, such as that produced experimentally by cauterization, may precipitate cholesterol deposition at the site of such injury. This would give support to the aforementioned observation of Paterson10 that thrombotic lesions were found to develop on the site of subintimal hemorrhages consequent to vitamin C deficiency. Such hemorrhages would constitute an injury to the vasa vasorum, and since tobacco smoking is conducive to vitamin C hypovitaminosis, herein may lie the link in etiological relationship with thrombosis.
Relative to the predominant male-sex incidence of coronary thrombosis, Levine says: "The sex distribution of this disease is most striking—a ratio of 33 1/2 males to 1 female. It is difficult to explain the great frequency of coronary disease in the male. One may ascribe it to the greater amount of work that men do, although some might question this and maintain that the humble housewife does just as much work in her home…Another factor that may be mentioned is the possible role of tobacco…Certainly, the consumption of tobacco has been in the past almost entirely confined to men and has been one of the few acquired differences in habit between the sexes. It is therefore logical to suspect this habit of playing some possible role in producing such a male preponderance in susceptibility to this disease. A more definite answer may be apparent before long if the coming generation of women continue the smoking habit that seems to have become so general."17
This forecast was made in 1929, and already the anticipated answer seems to be in evidence. Prior to 1929 the sex ratio of incidence of coronary thrombosis has been estimated as high as five males to one female. However, recent figures supplied by the Toronto Health Department indicate that the present sex ratio in this disease is two males to one female. Apparently, the rising tide of tobacco addiction in women is exercising a leveling action on the sex ratio of incidence of this form of heart disease.
It should further be noted that the rising incidence of coronary and other forms of thrombotic disease has been closely concurrent with the increase in tobacco consumption. Cigarette consumption in Canada has risen from approximately 5 billion in 1935 to 18 billion in 1951, an increase of over 350 percent, while in the same time the population has increased about 25 percent. During this same period, the incidence of coronary thrombosis, Buerger's disease, and postoperative thrombosis has shown a closely proportionate increase. A closely parallel situation prevails in United States, where the tobacco per-capita consumption is about double that of Canada.
One thing is certain: there has been no such increase in the consumption of cholesterol-rich foods by the populace at large during this same period, as would be expected if the cholesterol-ingestion etiology is sustained. On the contrary, statistics indicate a noticeable drop in per-capita consumption of such foods (milk, butter, eggs, and meat) during the period in question.
In recent years much stress has been given to the deleterious effects of involuntary inhalation of toxic elements in industrial smoke and fumes ("smog"), tetraethyl lead in gasoline, DDT, etc. These are all undoubtedly pathogenic, but with the redeeming feature that they are usually taken in a high degree of atmospheric dilution. On the contrary little or no attention is given to the voluntary inhalation of toxic fumes in concentrated form in the smoking of over 400 billion cigarettes annually by the people of America. We "strain at a gnat and swallow a camel."
The rising incidence of heart disease, particularly coronary thrombosis, is discussed. The rapid increase in thrombotic disease is thought to be referable to metabolic disturbances brought about by deficiency of vitamins B1 and C associated with narcotic addiction, notably [of] tobacco and alcohol, and to hepatoxic action by these same agents, resulting in conditions favorable to thrombosis, including hypercholesterolemia.
A report of findings in 151 male cases of coronary thrombosis shows the average age of death to be 52 years. Of these cases practically 100 percent were found to have been tobacco addicts, and 55 percent also users of alcohol. In a similar age group of nonthrombotic male patients (118 cases), the rates of tobacco and alcohol addiction were 66 percent and 29 percent, respectively. The average age of the heavy smokers at death in the coronary-thrombosis group was 47 years, while that of the light and moderate smokers was 58 1/2 years.
The sex incidence of coronary thrombosis, which has been predominantly male—five to one and three-and-a-half to one one in earlier reports—has shown a trend toward a relative rise in female incidence, latest reports indicating a ratio of two males to one female. This change in sex incidence apparently reflects the influence of increasing female addiction to tobacco and alcohol. The rising incidence in general has closely paralleled the increased consumption of these narcotics. There has been no such parallel in the consumption of cholesterol-rich foods (milk, butter, eggs, and meat). On the contrary statistics indicate a marked drop in per-capita ingestion of such food products.

This resource, created for Ma'yan's fall 2011 workshop, "Standing on Both Sides of the Gate: Reconciling Privilege and Jewish Identity,"* offers suggestions for educators and parents interested in helping young people to think about power and privilege. While the tips draw on Ma'yan's research and programs involving Jewish youth, they are just as relevant for work with non-Jewish youth.
Download "Tips for Addressing Privilege with Jewish Youth (and non-Jewish Youth!)" as a one-page PDF below.
In late 2009, Ma'yan initiated a year-long research study in a Jewish teen philanthropy program, in which suburban teens learned strategies for making grants to address needs in their community. We were interested in discovering what Jewish teens might learn about social justice and about their role in addressing social issues through this type of program. The results point to Jewish teens' deep desire to engage in the world around them, but also illuminate particular challenges for Jewish educators working with this population on issues of inequality and injustice.
Many Jewish teens feel a deep emotional connection to the struggles of their grandparents, many of whom experienced significant poverty and discrimination — circumstances vastly different from those experienced by most contemporary Jewish teens in the U.S. Teens' experiences with philanthropy, which raises issues of financial redistribution, community obligation, and power, provides a potential window into understanding how Jewish teens engage with concepts of inequality.
In the workshop, "Standing on Both Sides of the Gate", Ma'yan facillitated a discussion about the contemporary conundrum of balancing the scarcity and struggles of the past with the abundance of the present.

European Union Ambassador to the United States Makes First Visit to Hawaii
The Ambassador will visit SKAI Ventures and TruTag Technologies, Inc. for a business roundtable discussion on innovation and entrepreneurship
Joao Vale de Almeida, the European Union Ambassador to the United States, will start his first visit to the State of Hawaii on October 10. While in Honolulu, the Ambassador will participate in a business roundtable at SKAI Ventures and TruTag Technologies to discuss the critical role of innovation and entrepreneurship.
"I'm looking forward to being the first European Union Ambassador to the United States to visit Hawaii, which, notwithstanding its location in the Pacific, has good reason to follow important developments in the transatlantic relationship as the European Union and the United States negotiate the world's biggest free trade and investment partnership, known as TTIP," said Joao Vale de Almeida, European Union Ambassador to the United States.
While in Honolulu, the Ambassador will also pay tribute to the late Senator Daniel K. Inouye for his service in Europe during World War II. 'The links between Europe and the Pacific Islands are strong," said Ambassador Vale de Almeida, who is originally from Portugal. "While in Hawaii, I also hope to better understand the contribution of citizens of my own country and from all over Europe to life and culture in Hawaii. While much is said about the 'pivot to Asia', there is still much to celebrate in terms of European links to Hawaii."
"We are honored to host Ambassador Joao Vale de Almeida at SKAI Ventures and look forward to the discussions on the critical importance of innovation and entrepreneurship on a global scale," said Dr. Hank Wuh, CEO of SKAI Ventures and Chairman of TruTag Technologies. "We are looking forward to showcasing companies at SKAI Ventures, including TruTag Technologies, Eyegenix, CBI Polymers, and others as we expand strategic relationships with our partners and customers in the European Union."
Ambassador Vale de Almeida represents the 28 nation European Union to the United States. He presented his credentials to President Barack Obama in August 2010. Prior to this appointment, he was Director General of External Relations at the European Commission and played a key role in the creation of the EU's External Action Service foreseen by the 2009 Lisbon Treaty. He has also served as Chief of Staff, as well as G8 and G20 Sherpa, for European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.

Facebook grows daily active users by 25 percent, mobile users by 45 percent
Lauren Hockenson, Rani Molla Oct 30, 2013 (Jun 9, 2020) -- Blog Post
Despite its massive size, Facebook is still seeing big gains in user growth. In its Q3 earnings report, the social media giant said that September 2013 saw an average of 728 million daily active users, an increase of 25 percent year-over-year. The company saw huge gains in mobile, too, taking in 874 million monthly active users as of September 30, 2013 — a growth rate of 45 percent from 2012.
David Ebersman, Facebook's CFO, spoke directly to the growth of Facebook's user base on a conference call following the release of the results, touching particularly on Facebook adoption and loyalty among teens. He said that although it's difficult to track how teens engage with Facebook due to the privacy measures in place for users under 18, the company is confident that engagement among teens has held steady between Q2 and Q3. The only trouble area, he adds, is among "younger teens."
"We won't typically call out some granular data, especially since it's statistically questionable," Ebersman said, "But we get many questions about it, so we chose to address that."
The talk of teens apparently did more harm than good, causing a $0.60 drop in share price right after the confession. That erased the 15 percent bump the company got right after releasing its earnings, and caused plenty of chatter about Facebook's "teen problem" on Twitter.
[protected-iframe id="3f6a277eab4577b20941660806925cc6-14960843-23918705″ info="ctag" ]
The increased user base accounted for an uptick in revenue for the company: Q3 2013 revenue was $2.02 billion, an increase of 60 percent from the Q3 2012 intake of $1.26 billion. Mobile advertising revenue was also a big winner for the company representing approximately 49 percent of its overall advertising revenue for the third quarter of 2013. The mobile numbers reflect Facebook's focus on getting those ads right — the company continues to try out new ads, including a targeted app unit, to find the right value for the space.
Both CEO Mark Zuckerberg and CMO Sheryl Sandberg spoke directly to Facebook's mobile ads, and doubled down on the company's commitment to improving the quality of ads, rather than quantity.
"Facebook is well positioned to benefit from this shift to mobile," Sandberg said. "Facebook and Instagram have more mobile time spent than most other major services combined."
These overall gains have turned Facebook's operating loss into a reasonable profit. This time last year, the company lost $59 million, but now it has turned around to a $425 million net income (based on GAAP) this quarter. The company now has a potential for even more growth, provided that it continues to capitalize on mobile ads and draw greater adoption on both its traditional platform and via app.

Всеобщие выборы в Кении прошли 14 октября 1974 года. В это время Кения была де-факто однопартийным государством, а Национальный союз африканцев Кении был единственной партией, которая участвовала в выборах.

На 158 мест Национальной ассамблеи претендовало 740 кандидатов. В результате 88 депутатов предыдущего парламента, включая 4 министров правительства, не были переизбраны. Явка избирателей составила 56,5 %. Хотя президент Кении должен был быть избран в то же время, что и Национальная ассамблея, Джомо Кениата был единственным кандидатом и был избран автоматически без проведения формального голосования. После выборов президент Кениата назначил ещё 12 членов. Хамфри Слейд был переизбран спикером парламента.

Peter Dinklage replaced by Nolan North in Destiny's voice cast
by: Chapel - posted: 8/12/2015 3:16:00 AM
Peter Dinklage is one of the hottest names in Hollywood right now, due in no small part to his hugely popular character, Tyrion Lannister, on Game of Thrones, and his fantastic portrayal of him. It's no surprise that many people were excited about his voice over performance in Destiny as the player's companion, Ghost. Unfortunately, also due to his popularity, his schedule has not been flexible enough for Bungie and they have decided to replace him with voice over icon Nolan North.
Despite the initial excitement about Dinklage's appearance, however, there was a significant amount of backlash to his performance once the game was released, with many players finding it nothing short of flat. Discussing this change in an interview with Game Informer, Destiny's executive producer Mark Noseworthy insisted this had nothing to do with his replacement, and that it was simply due to schedule constraints.
With another new expansion, The Taken King, due out next month, it's really no surprise that Dinklage is too busy to come into the studio often enough to meet Destiny's ever-growing needs. As a fan, I'm sad to see him go, but I'm sure no one doubts Nolan North's ability to pick up the slack.

Update October 10: Catalonia's president has signed a declaration of independence but has put it on hold for a few weeks, requesting talks with Madrid to negotiate a solution.
Catalonia has long been marked – and not always kindly – for its difference from the rest of the Iberian Peninsula. This is the location at which Christopher Columbus docked following his first voyage to discover the New world, remember, when most intellectuals still believed the earth was flat. It is a land that has been home to disruptive artists and architects such as Picasso, Miró and Gaudi; a land that was the holdout, liberal republican region that suffered terribly during the Spanish Civil War and the repressive regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco that followed it — read George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia.
It is a region with its own language — indeed, Catalan is a bit like French — its own customs and traditions, and its own regional government. Many find Barcelona a more outward looking city than land-locked Madrid. It is also the economic engine of the country. In 2014 — the last year for which government statistics are available — Catalonia accounts for 19% of Spain's GDP and more than 25% of its exports, yet received 10-Billion Euros (approx. $12-Billion USD) less in public revenue than it sent to Madrid. Barcelona is one of the top 20 ports in the EU, measured by weight of goods handled. Catalonia was the primary destination of a more than a quarter of the country's 75-million visitors.
So it's not surprising the idea of independence has been in the air for some time.
A series of court battles in which Madrid has claimed the move to secession unconstitutional have not dissuaded the Catalans. Increasing rancor between Madrid and Barcelona with an escalating war of words culminated in a constitutionally illegal referendum on October 1st in which some 43% of the population (approx. 2.3 million voters) turned out to vote with 90% of ballots cast for independence. In some areas, this quickly descended into violent clashes and street violence. Spanish troops attempted to put down pro-independence demonstrations, injuring some 900 people, in a move that seems to have morphed into a new symbol of globalism vs. nationalism. The battle lines have been drawn between Madrid and Barcelona as perhaps no other time since the Spanish civil war.
Spain's King Felipe VI tried to intervene, addressing the national on live television, calling for unity and claiming the organizers were acting "outside the law." Few Catalans appeared to take note, focusing instead on Rojoy's heavy-handed tactics.
Separation is still a very distant possibility but would be a long way off, and not without challenges. We're not talking a "Cat-Exit" here.
First is Catalonia's public debt burden, which now amounts to more than 35% of GDP. The Catalan government owes €77 billion (about $95-Billion), some $60-billion of which is owed to the Spanish government. It would also lose access to the national loan fund setup by Madrid after the financial crisis to help regions unable to borrow on international markets. And it would need access to the EU marketplace, the destination for 2/3 of Catalonia's foreign exports. That would mean applying for membership in the pan-European body, requiring agreement from all EU member countries — including Spain.
It didn't have to come to this. Rajoy had options that were ignored in favor of a heavy-handed descent into violence.
Or, as Jonathan pointed out, he could have called for unity himself in a speech in the Catalan language, pointing out Spain's cultural traditions and diversity that make the whole country stronger than the sum of its parts. Hokey? Perhaps, but arguably less incendiary than sending in the troops.
It's not clear when or even if any official actions will take place on either side, though Madrid has offered an apology to those injured in the violence following the referendum. Thousands-strong pro-unity demonstrations have broken out across Spain since the Catalan referendum; Spain's other autonomous regions such as the Basques have been low-key, the EU remains above the discussion, but cannot in the long-term, avoid the issue of regions seeking independence from their countries but not from Europe. And this could be the issue that re-draws the map of Europe once again.

A: Based on your comment to the question, your actual question is How do I search on a user-supplied word?
You need to pass the proper URL to your search engine (in this case you mention Google in the comments):
WebBrowser.Navigate("https://www.google.com/search?q=" + SearchBar.Text);

If you want to support multiple words, you'll need to replace any spaces with + before adding it to the URL, so that if the user types big dogs into the textbox you add big+dogs to the search URL. (How to replace the spaces would be a separate question that I'm certain has been asked here before.)
