You can also read about the miraculous story of our extremely small dog who is taking medical cannabis oil for epilepsy to suppress seizures and may get to live a full life afterall. Positive experiences Having tested cannabis oil and CBD oil extensively, I am very excited about its effectiveness.
The best part is, of course, the story of our little dog. Last year, in February, I still feared for her life because suddenly she started to have seizures leaving her completely exhausted.
She is now January more than half a year into her treatments with cannabis oil and more recently with CBD oil and the result is amazing. She has gone from multiple seizures a week, to only a few times in the past six months. But that's not all! The oil also has a positive effect on her weak hips as well. She is a very active little dog, but she lost bark more than a year ago.
Thanks to the oil, there is sound again when she barks. Besides the weed oil and cbd oil, I give her a half tablespoon of hemp seed oil daily ordinary, without additions of THC and CBD , in her fresh meat meal, resulting in a soft and shiny coat and a major boost to her immune system. There are many more success stories! Information on this website should not be considered as a substitute for a consultation or treatment at a doctor! All information has been compiled with great care.

Herbs of the Gods. While both CBD and THC interact with our endocannabinoid system, both extracts have very different results on our body.
Because of their differing molecular makeup, the brain interacts with these extracts in very contrasting ways. Specifically, CBD affects different parts of the brain through its varied CB1 receptors, having a strong effect on our pain perception. Luckily, CBD is legal to consume and still provides the elevating effects that benefit the body without the high. The most felt from the compound is a deep relaxation, potentially turning into a trance-like sleep. While CBD is still found in cannabis, it is legally required to be harvested from industrial hemp, containing the lowest traces of THC possible.
However, it does not, as it actually aids in the reduction of the hallucinogenic effects brought on by THC. Potential effects, such as memory impairment, mood swings, and appetite changes are typically associated with marijuana and are not caused by CBD. In fact, they are largely reduced with its usage as it interacts with the brain in a completely different way. Due to its reverse relationship, you can bet CBD will not induce an altered state of mind.
Being multifaceted, the bountiful ways in which CBD can be used extends beyond the basics. For example, CBD vape oil can be put into your vaporizer directly onto the coil, or mixed with your favorite e-liquids either in your tank or into the e-liquid bottle. Vaping CBD juice often provides instant relief to our most painful areas, due to its absorption by the lungs and into our bloodstream.
Our CBD derived from hemp can also be smoked through various tools, such as a water pipe or rolled in our very own joints. Not only can you smoke it, but you can also consume CBD in other ways. Means such as edibles, capsules, and tinctures make for a hassle-free way of embedding ease back into your busy life. If you find yourself needing a large quantity, you may want to consider buying through our wholesale prices. Whether that be for e-liquid, tinctures, creams, etc.
Luckily, our company does not require you to have a license to sell in order to purchase wholesale. Our CBD is extracted through CO2 and ethanol, which are two of the cleanest ways it can be extracted.
CO2 extraction involves a series of filtration throughout several different chambers within controlled heat and pressure.
Ethanol is one of the best methods due to its high volume of full spectrum extract. We also keep you in mind with our CBD Genesis products by having the freshest organic hemp grown right here in North America. Our CBD oil is extracted from organic industrial hemp and is rich in antioxidants as well as omega fatty acids.
We pride ourselves in offering CBD in a way that is accessible to all by offering it in many forms such as joints, capsules, edibles, hemp oil and more. Cannabidiol delivers fast relief without the high, making it a viable option as alternative medicine. Whether you are a smoker, non-smoker, or somewhere in between, you can find something that best suits your needs at CBD Genesis.
Both artificial and organic flavorings are used in e-juices, depending on the brand. Because of this, CBD has never been more accessible to those do not wish to feel an altered state of mind. There are a number of superb vape pens and other vaporizing devices located right here on our website to help get you started on your CBD journey.
CBD oil can be put in your vaporizer directly onto the coil. You can also make a concoction of your favorite e-liquid and CBD oil in the tank of the vaporizer or straight into the e-liquid bottle.
Vape oil is smeared onto a coil and then heated for some types of cbd vaporizers , or decanted into an oil tank. Some cbd oil vaporizers heat the oil via a metal plate which in turns heats the coil, which leads to the vaporizing. After that, vape away! To make sure your vape product is legal, check any possible testing associated with the product. As stated above, do your own research to ensure that your CBD product provides trusted and honest testing. The versatility of hemp has been well-known for centuries, dating all the way back to 8, BCE.
It was cultivated in Eastern Asian regions, being mainly used for food and pottery materials. Hemp has been grown for the last 10, years used to spin into strong fibers, and later being refined for textiles, paper and clothing. It has also been known to be used in plastics, paint, and animal feed. Throughout history, hemp earned many valuable uses, and has more recently been recognized for soothing purposes, including its fast acting pain relief.
The innovative cannabinoid known as CBD has carved a whole new path in the world of wellness. Not only is it safe, but it is effective by nature. Its endless accessibility keeps this industry flexible and catered to you.

Q: Deduplication using a Java Set I have a collection of objects, let's call them A, B, C, D,... and some are equal to others. If A and C are equal, then I want to replace every reference to C with a reference to A. This means (a) object C can be garbage collected, freeing up memory, and (b) I can later use "==" to compare objects in place of an expensive equals() operation. (These objects are large and the equals() operation is slow.)
My instinct was to use a java.util.Set. When I encounter C I can easily see if there is an entry in the Set equal to C. But if there is, there seems to be no easy way to find out what that entry is, and replace my reference to the existing entry. Am I mistaken? Iterating over all the entries to find the one that matches is obviously a non-starter.
Currently, instead of a Set, I'm using a Map in which the value is always the same as the key. Calling map.get(C) then finds A. This works, but it feels incredibly convoluted. Is there a more elegant way of doing it?

A: This problem is not simple de-duplication: it is a form of canonicalization.
The standard approach is to use a Map rather than a Set.  Here's a sketch of how to do it:
public <T> List<T> canonicalizeList(List<T> input) {
    HashMap<T, T> map = new HashMap<>();
    List<T> output = new ArrayList<>();
    for (T element: input) {
        T canonical = map.get(element);
        if (canonical == null) {
            element = canonical;
            map.put(canonical, canonical);
        }
        output.add(canonical);
    }
    return output;
}

Note that this is O(N).  If you can safely assume that the percentage of duplicates in input is likely to be small, then you could set the capacity of map and output to the size of input.

Now you seem to be saying that you are doing it this way already (last paragraph), and you are asking if there is a better way.  As far as I know, there isn't one.  (The HashSet API lets would let you test if a set contains a value equal to element, but it does not let you find out what it is in O(1).)
For what it is worth, under the hood the HashSet<T> class is implemented as a HashMap<T, T>.  So you would not be saving time or space by using a HashSet directly ...

You know that you're supposed to exercise your body for 30 minutes a day. Start exercising your spirit for 30 minutes a day, too. Begin today.
Think of it this way: Grieving may be the hardest work you have ever done. And hard work is less burdensome when others lend a hand. Life's greatest challenges-getting through school, raising children, pursuing a career—are in many ways team efforts. So it should be with mourning.
Sharing your pain with others won't make it disappear, but it will, over time, make it more bearable.
When Bill Cosby's son Ennis was murdered, Mr. Cosby reached out to other families who were that day also confronted with the murder of their children. He was not alone and you aren't either.
Good self-care is nurturing and necessary for mourners, yet it's something many of us completely overlook.
Try very hard to eat well and get adequate rest. Lay your body down 2-3 times a day for 20-30 minutes, even if you don't sleep. I know—you probably don't care very much about eating well right now, and you may be sleeping poorly. But taking care of yourself is truly one way to fuel healing and to begin to embrace life again.
Listen to what your body tells you. "Get some rest," it says. "But I don't have time," you reply. "I have things to do." "OK, then, I'll get sick so you HAVE to rest," your body says. And it will get sick if that's what it takes to get its needs met!
Exercise not only provides you with more energy, it can give you focused thinking time. Take a 20-minute walk every day. Or, if that seems too much, a five-minute walk. But don't over-exercise, because your body needs extra rest, as well.

Bar X Safecracker Megaways
Blueprint Gaming is back again with a remake of a classic game.
Bar X Safecracker Megaways Slot Review
Bar X Safecracker Megaways slots is a 6-reel game with a potential 117,649 paylines and was developed by Blueprint Gaming. It's set during a bank heist, but is also based on classic fruit machines, and the high-value symbols reflect this. They are comprised of BARs, Xs, red 7's, and diamonds. There is an in-game wild, which only appears on the second, third, fourth, and fifth reels, as well as a scatter which will trigger the free spins round. This slot also features a mystery symbol that can turn into other symbols to form wins, plus all the benefits that come with the Megaways system.
Bar X Safecracker Megaways is a little strange, in that it is a classic themed slot meant to replicate the look and feel of an old school fruit machine, yet it is also a Megaways remake. So, essentially, you have a retro game with features of the most cutting-edge titles; it's a little oxymoronic. However, often the strangest combinations are the most successful, and developer Blueprint gaming seems to be on to something with this one. The bank heist setting is something we've seen before and, strangely enough, most of these efforts have been inspired by classic games. However, Blueprint has done a solid job of translating the theme here, even if the graphics do look a little dated. Whilst it doesn't blow you away visually, it's got an engaging mix of features and classic gameplay that can prove quite rewarding, if you're fortunate.
For those that don't know, the Megaways mechanic is a popular alternative to the traditional paylines system and was created by provider Big Time Gaming. Essentially, it allows a different number of symbols on the reels every time you spin them. The result is a different number of ways to win for each spin, with the maximum available a whopping 117, 649 paylines. This isn't just great for the higher chance of landing wins, it also adds a variety that you wouldn't get otherwise.
Cascading Reels
As this is a Megaways slot, the famed Cascading Reels feature is built, which adds a rather rewarding element to the gameplay. Whenever you land a winning combination, the symbols involved will disappear and be replaced by other, randomly generated, ones. These have the potential to form new successful combinations, thus leading to more wins on top of the original. The reels will continue to cascade until no further wins are generated.
Mystery Symbol
This bonus is a special icon that can land randomly at any point of your gameplay, both in the free spins round and the base game. When it lands, all instances of it currently in play will transform into one symbol, which will give you a much better chance of landing a win. For the most part, a low-value icon will be chosen, but it can still lead to a nice payout thanks to the Megaways system.
To trigger this bonus round, you will have to land four, five, or six of the Bank Vault scatter symbols. You will then be taken to a new screen with a series of vaults on display, pick one of them to reveal the number of spins you'll get. If you have landed more than the minimum number of scatters required, you could receive up to twenty spins. For the entire duration of this round, an unlimited win multiplier will be applied and will increase by 1x each time the Cascading Reels trigger a winning reaction. You can retrigger for more spins by landing four scatter symbols.

Brett and Marnie Wall established Open Claim Vineyards in 2012 to grow Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Their 21-acre vineyard near Dallas, Oregon, southwest of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, and part of a 55-acre estate, has supplied grapes to Broadley Vineyards, Dobbes Family Estate, Joel Gott Wines and WildAire Cellars. Nearby vineyards include Illahe, Amalie Robert, Croft, Erratic Oaks and Freedom Hill. The area is part of the proposed Mount Pisgah AVA west of Salem.
The property has been in Marnie's family for over 20 years. The name, Open Claim, honors the history of the property and reflects the Wall's desire to "work with the land to build something new with the hope and optimism of the American West." By virtue of the Donation Land Claim Act of 1850, Parcel #68 in Polk County, Oregon was offered in open claim to anyone willing to nurture the land to life and meaning.
The vineyard is planted to clones 76 and 95 of Chardonnay and eight types of Pinot Noir including "Coury," and La Tache selections, and Pommard, Wädenswil, 115, 667, 777 and 943 clones.
Beginning in May 2018, the Walls started selling Chardonnay and Pinot Noir under their own Open Claim Vineyards label. Tony Rynders was enlisted as the winemaker. Rynders other clients include Carden Cellars, Jackson Family Wines, Panther Creek Cellars, Saffron Fields Vineyard, Red Hills, along with his own Tendril Wine Cellars and Child's Play Wines labels.
The Open Claim wines are sold in three-bottle allocations on the winery's website.
The Walls plan to build and open a tasting room and small winery on their property in time for the 2019 crush.

Finnish Hawks Collide in Midair, Pilots Eject
Featured News, Military
The Finnish defense force says that two BAE Systems Hawk jets have collided in midair during a training flight and that both pilots ejected.
The air force says officials have been in contact with one of the pilots but gave no details in a brief statement on its website. It declined to take calls, saying that all information would be posted online. The statement said the accident occurred in a sparsely populated area of western Finland at 12:13 p.m. Wednesday and that two parachutes were observed in the sky.
The air force says that since 1958 ejector seats have been used 27 times during accidents and that one pilot was killed in a collision with another jet in 2001.

Let me begin by wishing each one of you a very happy year 2012.
I think I had an okay kind of year 2011. The year began with my service getting extended by two years and in no time it has passed by and here I am looking forward to retirement in Jan 2013. There is a likelihood of our retirement age getting extended to 65 years and my husband has already begun to hope that it does not. It must be hard for him to spend time alone at home while I lead a life of my own with my colleagues and students.
Since my work life also doubles up for social interaction, till date I haven't felt the need to socialize much outside college. If I retire next year I may have to start making friends in and around home. As of now I limit my interactions to a nod and/or a smile. People inquire after my children and I reciprocate and I am done. I wonder what happened to those that belonged to my immediate circle of friends 30 years back when I was not working. I devote this post to my initial years in Jamshedpur trying to recall the good ones in my life as a young bride and mother.
I have mentioned my friend Prema in quite a few of my posts. I am still very much in touch with her even now. But as a new comer to Jamshedpur it was always Prema/Lalli. Lalli was Prema's younger sister and equally dear to me. Those were days when as unmarried girls they would form a group and go for movies. I would always be invited to accompany them and I would join them if the movie was exceptionally good. 'Madhumati', 'Nagin', Ek Duje ke liye', 'Silsila' etc. were some that interested me. Unfortunately Lalli met with a tragic end and is no more. I cannot understand how and why a high spirited girl like her decided to end her life.
Then there was 'kuttai' (short) Vijaya. She was among the very few who were shorter than me. She impressed me with her expertise in house keeping. She was married at the age of 15 and when I arrived in Jamshedpur she had already been married for four/five years although she was two years younger than me. She would prepare mouth watering sweets and savories during Deepavali and Gokulashtami and would find time to sew clothes for the children in the family (5 of them) though at the time she had none of her own, stitch blouses for herself, her co-sisters and mother in law, keep a sparkling house with no maid to assist her. Ever smiling, she would be available for help to anyone in need. Once she gained confidence she offered to stitch blouses/frocks and skirts for children of outsiders, including me. We just had to buy her matching thread for the purpose. She needed to practice but could not afford to buy cloth. This way both groups benefitted. A little before I started working, she left for Hyderabad and I never met her again.
Lakshmi got married and came to our neighborhood around the same time as me. She had no knowledge of Hindi and learned the language by jotting down the Hindi equivalents of Tamil words in a piece of paper and learning the language by talking in broken Hindi to vegetable vendors. In a year's time her Hindi was passable and after 2 more it became proficient! She did not attend tailoring classes but learnt to sew from Kuttai Vijaya for free. Symbiosis, I suppose. Lakshmi left for Chennai for her children's higher education. Her husband later took voluntary retirement and they settled down in Chennai.
I got acquainted with Susila Mami much later. She had lost her husband and had just taken up a job in Tata Steel on compassionate grounds after 5 years of struggle. She had 4 children, none settled. She was a very self respecting person and refused to accept the job of an office girl/temporary worker that the company offered her. She met the chairman Mr. JRD Tata, in Mumbai to plead her case. I watched her children move up in life. Her sons would often have a tiff with her and come to me to air their differences. They would want her to exercise less control and understand that they were now grown ups. The very next day she would come and share her point of view with me. She was unable to see that it was time for her to let go and was always worried about their welfare. They have now moved on in life. I hear from them once in a while but it is evident that the closeness that we once shared is no longer there.
Then there was Meera whom I have mentioned in this post. The Sinhas were such a happy family when I first got to know them. It all ended with the death of their first born at the age of 31. Meera was just a living corpse after his death. She is no more and though a Bihari she was closer to me than those from her community. God bless her soul, she was a second mother to my son and looked after him while I was away at work, from keeping track of his toys to putting him to sleep by her side.
I often wonder if it is possible to make friends anew at the age of sixty. It was so much easier to bond back then. I know that Prema needs me and so does Protima who lives closer to my home. Protima is unmarried and continues to work as a teacher after retirement for about a quarter of her earlier salary. She lives with her brother's family. She has stopped having dinner saying that she does not feel hungry but the truth is that she feels that she is not able to contribute as much as before for the family expenses. How come no one seems to worry?
Whenever someone asks me if I plan to relocate to the south after retirement I feel insecure. This place has given me an identity and I am not sure if I would be happy anywhere else. But then this place is a pain to reach at short notice and I cannot ignore the problem faced by my children who may land at Kolkata by flight but the lack of connectivity to Jamshedpur puts them off. It would be best if my service period is extended and I get a lease of 3 more years. Will worry about relocation after that, won't we?
Hello G'ma – How are you?
I am sure that your college would not have let you go and that you are still working. "Visiting" after a long time. Have to read a lot of your posts.
Thanks for taking time to read my posts. No one seems to be interested anymore.

We know you have a lot of options when searching for a Siesta Key Family Photographer. Take a look at a few of our favorite images from this recent family portrait session on Siesta Key. If you like our style, let's plan a photography session for your family. We are a husband and wife team, so you always get two of us. This is especially helpful with the little ones. One of us can focus on getting the kids to look and smile, while the other gets the shot. We love the sunset hour as it offers the best lighting. We get some nice bright daytime looking pictures at the top of the hour. As the sun drops lower in the sky, we have the opportunity to capture a beautiful Florida sunset behind you. We take our time and get all the possible combinations. We get several variations of the entire family, individuals of the kids, all the siblings together and some couples shots of mom and dad.


When David Longstreth reemerged, bearded and heartbroken, on a pair of recent Dirty Projectors videos, fans couldn't help but speculate about the absence of vocalist Amber Coffman. Now we know why she sat those tracks out: She's not in the band anymore. In fact, it appears there isn't even a band to be in. For the upcoming self-titled Dirty Projectors album, due February 24 on Domino, the group returned to its roots as a Longstreth solo project. While previous singles "Keep Your Name" and "Little Bubble" laid the emotional stakes for the record, "Up in Hudson" is Longstreth's attempt to control the narrative: Yes, he and Coffman broke up, and yes, it's cool. In unusually candid prose, over a velvety, horn-licked near-eight minutes, he details their courtship: seeing her onstage, recruiting her to be in the band, feeling time stop during their first kiss, writing her "Stillness Is the Move." Then years later things go wrong and Longstreth finds himself speeding down the Taconic Parkway, licking his wounds as he blasts Kanye (808s, presumably).
The song isn't nearly as bitter as its chorus about love fading, burning out and rotting away would have you believe, though. Longstreth is smart enough not to bad-mouth the woman many fans believed was the best part of the band, and he's also too savvy of a songwriter to turn "Hudson" into a finger-pointing exercise. "We're going our separate ways, but we're still connected," he sings. It's the kind of assurance we give each other because we have to, yet there's still a comfort in it. She'll continue making music, and he'll do the same, and as a consolation he got what's shaping up to be a pretty sensational breakup record out of the experience. Love might not last, but he'll live to write another day.

Waveney car parking fees could increase
Published: 5:00 AM August 13, 2009 Updated: 9:39 PM October 10, 2020
Hundreds of thousands of pounds could be spent repairing and improving car parks around Waveney - but the price of tickets could go up.Resurfacing, installing new lights and buying new ticket machines to improve the 32 car parks across the district could cost Waveney District Council nearly �400,000.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds could be spent repairing and improving car parks around Waveney - but the price of tickets could go up.
Resurfacing, installing new lights and buying new ticket machines to improve the 32 car parks across the district could cost Waveney District Council nearly �400,000.
As part of the council's annual car park review, which is likely to see some parking charges increase, a series of repair work has been proposed.
The biggest changes could be seen at the busy Clapham Road car park in Lowestoft town centre, where �98,000 of resurfacing is needed, and shingle could be completely replaced with tarmac at the Albany Road car park.
Proposed new car park charges, which will be unveiled at a council meeting on Tuesday, would help to pay for the much-needed work. If the suggestions are backed at the meeting, the council's cabinet will make a final decision on the whole scheme in September.
In Halesworth, �24,000 could be spent to replace the shingle with tarmac in the Station Road car park and another �98,000 bill could come for resurfacing the popular car park at Southwold Pier.
Car parks in Regent Road, Alexandra Road and Pakefield Road in Lowestoft all need resurfacing and new lights are needed in Scales Street in Bungay, Newgate and Hungate in Beccles and Albany Road in Lowestoft, where solar panels are being considered.
A report which will be presented to Waveney council's environment and regeneration scrutiny sub-committee at a meeting on Tuesday said: 'The car parks review will review current and previous income from car parks in order to assess income trends, improvements that might be made in service provision in order to maximise use of existing facilities.'
The report also said that if repair work goes ahead, it will need to be scheduled at different times to make sure that there is still space for people to park
A council spokesman said: 'This is all part of our programme of improvements. Whenever we say we are going to put car parking prices up, part of that is us trying to improve them and that money has to be generated from somewhere.

Looks like rain is forcing shoppers and photographers inside for a couple days . . .
I really like this one! Subtle, earthy colors.
I had left my shutter speed at 1/500 and had to do a lot of post processing to save the shot. Really grainy so I can't enlarge it very much. I like it, though.

Prof Kodandram's journey, from face of Telangana struggle to the target of Telangana govt ఫిబ్రవరి 26, 2017

A drift between Kodandram and KCR was inevitable, for, their means towards the end were different.
Pavan Korada, TheNEWSMinute, Friday, February 24, 2017
More often than not, it so happens that every legitimate political struggle has two fronts. The words 'legitimate' and 'political' themselves represent the function and evolution of each front. The struggle acquires legitimacy — as a genuine people's aspiration — through grassroots mass-mobilisation, usually a feature of participatory democracy. And once this popular aspiration is digested by the people and snowballs into a mass movement, then a second front emerges. This front now has to fight the political battle within the existent power structure. In a parliamentary democracy, the latter usually takes the form of a political vanguard party. (మరింత…)
Nature of Telangana movement & vision for Separate Telangana- Prof Rama Melkote జూలై 19, 2013

The disillusionment is now total. Some of us had our own doubts about any decision by the Congress now. Yet there was a flicker of hope. I feared more suicides when no decision was taken. And it has happened, I hear.
I would like to share some of my thoughts on the issue.
In all our innocence, we believed that the Congress will keep up its promise of granting Telangana. Time and again we have been deceived. One only has to look at the history of the Congress party, more particularly since the seventies. It has played politics in the most undemocratic way, never kept up its promises, used repressive methods to curb dissent, suppressed social movements, promulgated more and more repressive laws to deal with the 'naxalites' all in the name of security. Claiming to be a secular party, it did not hesitate to use the police, the army against a community, the Sikhs. The destruction of Babri Masjid is a blot on the Nation and its secular constitution. It's so called anti poverty, populist policies eventually ended up in neo liberal policies, in politics of globalization. In every way, the secular, democratic principles of the Constitution of India have been systematically violated. However, we cannot ignore the fact that it is the peoples struggles that have opposed the repressive State to sustain democracy, rights and freedom of the people, at least to some extent.
I think we need to understand the Congress party's position in the case of Telangana. We all know the history, the marginalization of Telangana after the merger with the Andhra State. The two different trajectories of the rise of the ruling elite in Telangana and the Andhra region need to be understood. The rise of a confident, economically powerful elite/ bourgeoisie in the Andhra for various reasons, its assertion as a class, its demand for its own state in the name of Telugu identity, the demand for Visahalandhra, point out to its ability to assert itself politically. In Telangana, the people's struggle for their rights, the anti feudal, peasant armed struggle, the police/ army action eventually led to the 'independent' state of Telangana. What was the nature of the ruling elite/class in Telangana? It was not economically powerful nor was it a politically assertive class. It could have become one, evolved into a bourgeois elite, if the merger to form the State of Andhra Pradesh had not taken place. It is this weakness of the T elite, its subservience to the Andhra elite that is manifest even to this day. What else can explain their refusal to resign from the government and align with the peoples struggle? The desire for retaining political power, even as a subservient ally of the Andhra ruling class is closely linked to their own financial interests. I think we need to factor these into our analysis of the present situation. (మరింత…)

Telangana State only after 2014 elections, says KCR
Staff Reporter, The Hindu, Karimnagar, November 9, 2012
TRS chief asserts that party will not have any truck with Congress in future
The two-day brainstorming session of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti ended here on Thursday with its president K. Chandrasekhar Rao making two politically loaded statements of Telangana being a reality only after 2014 general elections and asserting that his party will not have any truck with the Congress in future.

Indicating that he was unsure of formation of separate State in the near future Mr. Rao said: "Now, the situation is ripe for TRS to emerge as a strong force in Telangana region by winning at least 100 Assembly seats and 15 Lok Sabha seats. No force can stop the formation of Telangana state after the coming general elections. It is not KCR, but the people of Telangana who will dictate terms to the Centre then, as we already have the support of 32 political parties."
Conceding that the Congress has yet again betrayed on the separate State issue, Mr. Rao thundered: "There will be no more deadlines, only death-line for the Congress." Briefing media persons over the deliberations, he took pains to explain in detail how the party was first engaged in consultations by the Congress leadership in Delhi and then deceived. After the general strike, when he met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Delhi, he was asked to remain patient as a solution would be found soon. Then he met senior Congress leaders who came up with a list of conditions that included merger of his party with Congress. (మరింత…)

Seema leaders seek new state
August 27, 2012 Deccan Chronicle, Hyderabad
Leaders from Rayalaseema on Sunday demanded a separate state in the event of a Telangana state being formed stating that they could not remain with Coastal Andhra. In a meeting held in a private function hall in Khairatabad, organised by former TD legislator Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy, the leaders decided to form a Rayalaseema Joint Action Committee on the lines of the TJAC for Telangana. It was also decided to form JACs for all professional sections of the society to fight against injustice to the region as well as for separate statehood.
Mr Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy announced that he would undertake a 40-day padayatra covering all the villages in the four districts of Rayalaseema soon. He also demanded TD chief N. Chandrababu Naidu mention the backwardness of the Rayalaseema region in the proposed letter on the Telangana statehood issue in the first week of September. (మరింత…)

Its predictions going wrong, TRS decides to revive stir
Express News Service, Hyderabad, 28 August 2012
The TRS leadership, which has been claiming that it has received signals of a favourable decision on the separate Telangana issue from the Centre and an announcement will be made in just a couple of months, has now come to the opinion that the Congress led UPA government at the Centre might defer a decision till the 2014 general election.
Though Telangana leaders of the Congress are time and again saying that their high command will take a final call on the issue soon, the TRS leadership has come to think otherwise.
After closely watching the developments in Delhi, the pink party leadership has formed an opinion that the UPA government is not in a position to deliver on its promise.
According to the TRS leadership, if the Centre wants to make any announcement on Telangana, it will do so only just before the 2014 elections. (మరింత…)

TRS releases advani's 2002 anti-t letter
June 10,2012, By DC Correspondent, Warangal
With the Telangana Rashtra Samiti and the Bharatiya Janata Party pulling out all stops to corner the pro-Telangana vote in Parkal, both parties are doing their best to wrest the initiative on Telangana statehood.
Hours before leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj's arrival to campaign for the BJP in Parkal, TRS leader Harish Rao on Saturday released a video clip of the BJP's former minister Ch. Vidyasagar Rao and a letter written by former Union home minister L.K. Advani in 2002.
Releasing the video clip and the letter, Mr Harish Rao, the TRS' strategy expert, alleged that the BJP was trying to reap the "Telangana crop harvest" that had been sown, watered and cared for by the TRS since 2001.
Mr Harish Rao distributed copies of Mr Advani's letter, dated April 1, 2002 and addressed to the then BJP MP A. Narendra, saying that "regional disparities in economic development can be tackled through planning." Mr Advani stated in his letter, "we do not propose the creation of a separate state of Telangana." (మరింత…)

Telangana state top priority for NDA: Shahnawaz
The party is totally committed for Telangana state
Press Trust of India / Hyderabad Jun 10, 2012
Reiterating BJP's commitment towards smaller states, former Union Minister and party's official spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain today assured that NDA's first decision after coming to power at the Centre would be creation of separate Telangana state.
"The party is totally committed for Telangana state and first decision of the NDA, if voted to power, would be carving out of Telangana region as a separate state," Shahnawaz told reporters here, before leaving for Parkal Assembly constituency in Warangal district to participate in elections campaign.
Alleging that some political parties have been playing with the sentiments of Telangana people, Shahnawaz said they (people) have now identified the parties who have been deceiving them in the name of separate state and they have full faith in BJP. (మరింత…)

'This is an erudite and scholarly book, but invaluable in understanding the development of the papacy to what we know today. An interesting and worthwhile read as an historical document even for those who do not adhere to the Catholic faith.' Methodist Recorder
'... the editors argue convincingly that an evolving context of Italian, European, global, and media history has most influenced the changes demonstrable in the development of the popes' roles since 1500.' A. D. Wright, University of Leeds
'As Corkery and Worcester explain ... the book's genesis came about as both were teaching undergraduate courses on the papacy ... The common thread for theologian and historian was the papacy's historical development, especially respecting prevalent contemporary social conditions. From these courses came the collaboration on this provoking and informative volume.' Carl Franks, Central Methodist University
'The collection gives a perspective that a simple chronology of the papacy could not have yielded ... the book's strong contribution is that it presents the papacy's complex interrelationships of persons, policies, practices, and presuppositions, as well as their development and the questions they raise. One will profit much from knowing about such questions through the interpretive lens of prince, patron, and pastor with which the contributors examine the popes since 1500.' John W. Padberg, S.J., Institute of Jesuit Sources, St Louis

Much is known about high school students' attitudes towards science but there is almost no research on what passion for science might look like and how it might be manifested. This exploratory case study took advantage of a unique group of highly gifted science students participating in the Australian Science Olympiad (n=69) to explore their attitudes towards school science and science as presented in the Olympiad summer camp. In particular the role the summer camp might play in igniting the students' passion for science was a focus of the research. Data were collected through a two tiered survey of students' attitudes towards school science, an evaluative survey of the Olympiad summer camp and in-depth interviews with six participants. Findings indicated that Olympiad students generally had positive attitudes towards school science with most selecting science as one of their favourite subjects. However, an underlying ambivalence about school science was noted in the data. In contrast, the Olympiad summer camp transformed students' positive attitudes into passion for science. Seven themes emerged from the data providing a foundation for a model of what academic passion for science looks like.

We had another busy #physiotalk chat on Monday on making social media work for you and lots of people reported finding Twitter a useful source of information and resources. During the chat, and since, a number people asked about how to keep track of and save useful tweets and information found on Twitter, both for reference and also to use as evidence of CPD.
So, here are a few ideas that I couldn't fit into 140 characters. It's written roughly in order of increasing complexity, so hopefully something for everyone but let me know if anything isn't clear and I can edit this post or chat via Twitter. There are lots of ways to keep a record of social media activity, so the most important thing is to pick the method(s) that suit you best – and be organised!
You can mark useful tweets as a 'favorite' and this will save the tweet for later so it is much easy to go back and find when you need to. The favorites 'button' is at the bottom of a Tweet and this is by far the quickest and easiest way to keep track of useful information and conversations and can be invaluable! All your Favorites can then be found in your favorites list (see more info here) and if you favorite one tweet that is part of a conversation then when you click on that tweet it should then open up the whole conversation. (I have used American spelling of favorite here for consistency with Twitter).
If you are using Twitter from your computer you can email a tweet to yourself or anyone else by clicking on 'more' at the bottom right of the Tweet. You can also embed Tweets into a blog post (see picture below).
The Android Twitter app gives you a few more choices, including sending it by text message, adding it to Dropbox or to your notebook app (apologies, not sure about the Apple App?).
A screenshot is a quick way to take a photo of a tweet or short twitter conversation, and also print it out if you need to. To take a screenshot from your computer just press the control key together with the print screen key (top right corner) and then paste it into Word, Paint or other programme and then you can crop and edit it and/or print it. You can also take screenshots from your smartphone (but how you do this will depend on make and model).
If you have Dropbox on your computer you can set it up to automatically save your screenshots. It should prompt you to do this the first time you take a screenshot.
Obviously you are limited to what you can see on one screen at a time so you might need to take more than one screenshot if you want a record of a number of tweets.
You can save and file resources you find on Twitter to go back to when you need to or at a more convenient time. This might just be bookmarking the website on your internet browser, saving information onto your computer, or saving somewhere like Dropbox, GoogleDrive or Evernote. I personally use Dropbox – the App works well on my smartphone and other family members use it.
For members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy there is also the option of saving evidence of activity and learning from Twitter on the ePortfolio. This way you can insert a web address/URL into a reflection form or other record of CPD or upload and also link to images, including screenshots of tweets.
Adding a web address/URL for a couple of stories from Storify (see below) into a refection form and adding reflection underneath – once you have saved the form then the web link works when you click on it, which is really useful. There doesn't seem to be a hyperlink option to I just copied and pasted the URL in to the form.
I have also been able to upload screenshots of useful tweets as an file into Pebblepad and link them to reflection forms.
You can also tag any of your entries, so I have been tagging them Twitter so far to keep easy track of them.
You can use Storify to gather together tweets and other social media and internet content into one place in a sequential order, write comments and create a 'story'. It's particularly useful as a summary of social media activity at an event or conference, and once a story is 'published' it is easy to share by email, Twitter, Facebook (or add the URL to PebblePad documents). You can also follow other people to see their stories,.
However, Storify like Twitter is in public domain, and it is designed to be web-based rather than print-friendly so it might not suit everyone for documenting learning and reflection from social media. Here's an example of Storify in action from a Department of Health conference last year.
Great list! I would also add that with Evernote and the "read it later" service Pocket, you can email a twitter link to your account to save it there. Pocket will actually save the entire article to your account just from the link and you can read it offline on your mobile device! Another (advanced level) service is Ifttt ("if this then that") where you can create "recipes" linked to your web accounts. An example of a recipe might be "if I star a tweet, the link gets sent to my Evernote account." It's a great service for power users!

Higher Heart Disease Risk for "Distressed" Personalities
By Selena Chavis
Most people are relatively familiar with the concepts of Type A and Type B personalities and have probably tried to identify their match. But what if your personality is characteristic of the lesser known Type D?
A new study suggests that if a person is profiled as a Type D personality from a psychologist's standpoint, the risk of future heart disease and cardiovascular issues becomes higher.
Recently published in the American Heart Association's Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, the summary article said that a review of more than 6,000 patients revealed a link between Type D personality characteristics and heart disease.
Also known as "distressed" personality, Type D people typically are characterized by negativity and often exhibit low self-esteem and a tendency toward depression. A "distressed" personality may display common characteristics such as stress, anger, worry, hostility and tension.
"Type D patients tend to experience increased levels of anxiety, irritation and depressed mood across situations and time, while not sharing these emotions with others because of fear of disapproval," said Viola Spek, Ph.D., senior author of the study and a researcher at Tiburg University in the Netherlands. "We found that Type D personality predicts mortality and morbidity in these patients, independent of traditional medical risk factors."
An analysis of 49 different studies involving Type D patients was conducted and statistically compared to the presence of future heart conditions and psychological health.
A threefold increase in risk was found for "distressed personalities" as it related to peripheral artery disease, angioplasty or bypass procedures, heart failure, heart transplantation, heart attack or death. The same increase in risk was identified for psychological conditions including clinical depression, anxiety and overall poorly framed mental health.
"Type D personality and depression are distinct manifestations of psychological distress, with independent cardiovascular effects," said Johan Denollet, Ph.D., lead author of the study. "Our findings support the simultaneous use of depression and Type D measures to flag high-risk patients."
Researchers suggested that better screening could be completed on heart patients to determine if they have characteristics that align with "distressed" personalities. Once identified, appropriate psychological counseling interventions could be undertaken to potentially improve heart health and future outcomes.
Type D personality was introduced in the 1990s, decades after the original personality classification system was implemented. It is identified by using a 14-item questionnaire that measures social inhibitions and mood.
Other research points to Type A personalities—characterized by a focus on achievement, urgency and competitiveness—as being at a higher risk for heart disease, but findings have not been conclusive.
There are a growing number of studies underway tracking Type D personalities and overall health. This study conducted by the group in the Netherlands was pooled from the researchers' own previous studies due to lack of other data in the industry.
Some studies have connected biological and behavioral pathways as a source contributing to the negative effects of Type D traits.
Denollet suggests that psychological intervention could help the future outlook of Type D patients but adds that it's difficult for this population to express concerns about stresses or negative feelings. Primary care providers will often have to be the catalysts for identifying "distressed" personalities and drawing them out.
The study was funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research.

Diane Modafferi works in the TV and Film industry and thought it would be cool to take a similar cinematic approach to capturing her pet hedgehog Humphrey J, and what a brilliant job she has done.
By using backdrops and props she captures Humphrey looking his very best, so good infact that we are now jealous of all the cool stuff he gets up to. He was certainly born for the camera and this lifestyle.
Look how many cakes he gets for his birthday. Have you ever been given a cake the same size as you for your birthday? neither have we.
Oh, and did we mention that he has his own farm?
He also like to have friends over from time to time to watch sports.
Just chilling by the pool. Living the life.
It's not all sipping cocktails by the pool though. Humphrey knows the importance of staying fit. Here he is doing some yoga.
Gordon Ramsay hasn't got anything on this hedgehog.
Humphrey is also a keen artist. Is there any end to his talents?
Not if you count driving around in a soft-top car looking like a total boss a talent.
And hanging out in his man cave whilst fighting of dinosaurs.
And he is a Hollywood movie star.
Humphrey J you are a legend not only amongst hedgehogs, but us humans as well.

THE NEXT MATA JR. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS WILL OPEN IN APRIL 2019.
To receive news about the call, please join our mailing list!
Founded in 2014 as the educational arm of MATA, MATA Jr. pairs pre-college composers selected from a free, global, call for submissions with emerging composers in a six-month mentorship program to create new works for performance by teen new-music ensemble Face the Music. While there are many programs that aim to assist young composers, MATA Jr. is unique in that all parties benefit from a collaborative learning process in which participants are both teacher and student.
Each winter, MATA holds an open call for submissions from pre-college composers to select several to receive mentorship and an eventual performance by Face the Music, the teen new-music ensemble based at New York City's Kaufman Music Center. A jury consisting of MATA's composer-mentors and Face the Music's director meet to assess submissions. Selected composers are paired with one of three composer-mentors, who shepherd them through the development of a new composition from idea to score to rehearsal to performance.

The Biggest Medicaid Fraud Investigation Mistake - John Howley, Esq.
A woman called my office today with a typical Medicaid problem. She applied for Medicaid during a period of unemployment, and then she did not terminate her Medicaid benefits after she found a new job.
In most cases like this one, an experienced Medicaid fraud lawyer can negotiate a settlement that avoids any lawsuits or criminal charges.
Unfortunately, this woman made a big mistake. As a result, she has been arrested and charged with a serious crime.
Her mistake was meeting with the Medicaid fraud investigators alone. The investigators did not ask her many questions. They just wanted her to admit that she signed the application for Medicaid benefits, and that she continued to receive Medicaid benefits after her income increased.
Based on her admissions, the investigators referred the case to the District Attorney for criminal prosecution. The District Attorney charged her with a felony, Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, because the total amount of Medicaid benefits she received exceeded $3,000. If convicted, she faces possible prison time and a permanent criminal record.
All of this could have been avoided if she had simply consulted with an experienced Medicaid fraud lawyer. Her lawyer would have met with the investigators on her behalf. Without her admissions, the investigators would not have had such a strong case. They would have been much more likely to negotiate a settlement with no criminal charges.
If you receive a letter from Medicaid fraud investigators, remember this: The investigators are not on your side. They already believe that you have done something wrong. Their main objective is to develop the evidence against you.
Consult with an experienced Medicaid fraud lawyer before you speak with the investigators.
