Building Oneness
Building Up Your Spouse
Praying Together
Role of Husband
Role of Wife
Sometimes our biggest conflicts come when both spouses are right.
By Tim and Joy Downs
The simplest conflicts are the disagreements where one of you is just plain wrong. You got the facts wrong, or you forgot, or—to be honest—you just didn't care. Though we sometimes fight even when we know we're wrong, our better side usually gets the best of us and sooner or later we own up to it. Sorry about that, I was wrong, you were right.
The more difficult conflicts are the ones in which you're both right. These disagreements are harder to resolve because neither one of you wants to let go—but then, neither one of you needs to. At its worst, conflict is when you demonstrate your selfishness, arrogance, and sheer mule-headedness. But at its best, conflict is when you both express what you really believe in—and, in the process, come to a better understanding of one another.
Throughout our married life, we have often disagreed in our approach to raising our kids. Joy thought our son should wear his bicycle helmet to simply ride around the block; Tim thought it was an unnecessary nuisance for such a short distance. Joy thought we should remind the kids to take a jacket when they went out; Tim thought they should learn to remember for themselves, and a little frostbite just might do the trick. Joy thought we should install Internet filtering software on our home computer to protect the kids from accidentally going to inappropriate sites; Tim thought the kids should know that the sites were there, but develop the self-control to not visit them. At times, we seemed to disagree about everything.
Over time, we began to realize that our individual disagreements were like the leaves on a tree, obscuring the trunk behind it. Our disagreements about helmets and jackets and software were all the result of a single fundamental difference between us. When it came to the children, Joy instinctively placed their security above all else, and Tim instinctively valued their autonomy—their need to take risk in order to grow in confidence and capability.
What could possibly be wrong with valuing a child's security?
And what could be wrong with valuing a child's autonomy?
The problem is that we're both right.
It took years of lengthy "discussions" before we finally realized two critical things: that we were not really battling about bicycle helmets and jackets and computers at all, and that we were really on the same side. We just chose different paths to a common goal: a mature and thriving child.
Once we understood that the issue of security was the underlying cause of many of our disagreements, we began to search for other hidden causes. Was it possible that there were more fundamental issues like this, more instinctive blind spots that were the root of our other disagreements?
Sure enough, others began to emerge, and after many more discussions we were finally able to identify seven fundamental differences between us.
Then we began to discuss our conclusions with other couples and ask if they had observed a similar phenomenon in their own marriages. We asked each couple, "Are there recurring areas of conflict in your marriage—areas that you seem to come back to over and over again? Are there topics you can almost predict you'll disagree on?" In each case, we encouraged them to try to identify what they were really fighting about.
To our surprise, we found that other couples had recurring disagreements over the very same seven issues we did.
Our next step was to test our theory with a larger audience. Over the next two years, as we traveled and spoke at marriage conferences across the country, we began to take a survey with our audiences. We asked more than a thousand couples a series of questions about their own experiences with conflict, and wherever we went our findings were consistent. We discovered that there seem to be seven common underlying issues that are the root cause of most of the conflict in married life.
We call them security, loyalty, responsibility, caring, order, openness, and connection.
One of us must be crazy
By this time in your marriage, the two of you have probably negotiated and compromised on an exhausting number of minor preferences and desires. But have you noticed that a handful of stubborn disagreements still remain, and that those issues seem to crop up again and again with discouraging regularity? Like ancient Rome, all roads lead to them. No matter what topic begins the disagreement, sooner or later you find yourselves on familiar ground. "Oh no, not this again!"
Recurring conflicts are a reality for all married couples, and they are a source of ongoing frustration and discouragement. Their very existence is annoying. Couples feel they should have resolved their differences by this time, and their failure to do so must mean something is wrong between them.
Couples often wonder if these unresolved issues reveal some secret weakness in their spouse or their marriage. Each begins to suspect the other of immaturity, pride, or sheer pigheadedness. They know that whenever the subject shifts to one of those topics, there will be no resolution. They will end up, as always, in an angry stalemate, burying the disagreement like toxic waste until it surfaces again another day.
Understanding the differences that divide
Aren't these hidden issues destined to be perpetual? Because of our fundamental differences, aren't we doomed to repeat these disagreements over and over again in different forms? And if they won't go away why bother to talk about them at all?
The reason we need to talk about the issues of security, loyalty, responsibility, caring, order, openness and connection is precisely because they won't go away. They're always there, and they always matter. Your different approaches to these issues represent much more than differences of opinion; it's a battle of dreams, and dreams die hard.
If you feel like having Italian food for dinner but your mate prefers Chinese, you might be merely disappointed; but if you have a deep, pervasive longing to build a safe, secure home, and your mate is not cooperating, you'll be much more than disappointed. When these seven underlying issues are simply avoided and left to fester, they can produce an underlying atmosphere of anger, bitterness, and resentment.
But if we do talk about them, since they're not going to just disappear, what can we really hope to accomplish? Perhaps the best way to answer this question is by telling you what understanding these differences did for us.
First, it helped us to identify our dreams. Remember, dreams are often hidden issues. It would be very helpful in a marriage if a husband would simply say to his wife, "I should warn you that I'm extremely sensitive about issues of Loyalty. It's a dream of mine to have an unwaveringly loyal wife."
Unfortunately, he may be consciously unaware of his sensitivity altogether; he might not even be aware of what loyalty really entails. But just wait until the first argument about the in-laws—then the dream will go to work, lurking in the background, fueling the anger and confusion and frustration. The problem is that this husband and wife may go on forever believing that they're fighting about the in-laws, never recognizing that the underlying concern is really all about loyalty.
Identifying our underlying differences allows us to ignore the diversion created by a hundred minor disagreements and talk about the real issue. "What do you long for? What is your mental image of how marriage ought to be? What does a husband look like to you? How do you think kids should be raised? Tell me about your dreams."
Second, understanding our hidden issues helped us to put our differences in perspective. When it came to rearing the kids, one moment we thought that we disagreed about everything, from allowances to curfews to appropriate forms of discipline. Suddenly we understood that we only disagreed about one thing, but that one issue influenced our approach to dozens of others. That understanding alone changed our self-perception, from a couple who could never seem to agree, to a couple with only a handful of fundamental differences. That change in perspective allowed us to shift our focus from the superficial symptoms to the underlying disease.
Third, understanding our hidden issues helped us to understand each other's true motives. Joy was concerned about the children's safety, but Tim didn't seem to care if they got hurt. Tim wanted the kids to grow to independence, but Joy seemed to want to keep them tied to her apron strings. The other's perspective seemed so selfish and short-sighted that it naturally produced anger in each of us. Why don't you care what happens to the kids? We both cared, of course; we both wanted the best for the kids, but that was hard to believe. Understanding the underlying conflict allowed us see the other's motives in a completely different light.
Fourth, understanding our hidden issues helped us to anticipate conflicts before they occurred. As we said earlier, couples learn which topics are most likely to generate a conflict and "rope off" those areas as if they were minefields. But the problem with a minefield is that the dangers lie buried, so the explosions are often unexpected. We begin by discussing bicycle helmets, and before we know it, it's a full-fledged argument. How did that happen?
Once we understood each other's underlying dreams, we could look for other issues that might be influenced by those same dreams. That allowed us to take a proactive approach to our differences rather than always having to clean up messes and bandage wounds later on. We knew where we were likely to disagree, and we could be ready for it.
Finally, understanding our hidden issues helped us to work together as partners instead of battling as foes. Once we understood each other's dreams, once we each realized what the other person was valuing, our attitudes changed. We wanted to help fulfill the other's dreams rather than stubbornly defend our own turf. That change in attitude has allowed us to work together as partners instead of constantly shouting at each other from opposite sides of the fence.
Dreams die hard, but your dreams don't have to die at all. The presence of conflict in your marriage is not a condemnation. It simply means that you have dreams—that you are human beings and that there are things you long for, things you truly believe in. The question is, how will you believe in them together? How will you honor each other's dreams, even when they sometimes conflict? You know what to do when one of you is wrong; what will you do when both of you are right?

Southern Europe hot rolled cold (HRC) steel import prices remained unchanged week-on-week, and hot rolled cold steel was €389 per ton in the week ended January 16, as the latest figures released by The Steel Index.
In Southern Europe, it was the first full working week for much of the Italian market and HRC prices were stable between €380-390 a ton.
With negotiations for end-Q1 delivery still ongoing, however, more clarity about price direction may come next week as some market players expect mills' offers to go up closer to €400 a ton mark in the near future.
A weak Euro, making import offers less attractive, is helping North European producers lift HR coil prices. North European HRC benchmark index finished the week of €407 a ton ex-works, with reported transactions ranging between €400-415 a ton.
But as some mills are managing to achieve increases of €5-10/t, market participants are doubtful whether the full €30/t hike announced earlier could be realised.


Many passengers dread the security screening process in airports. Although most of us are not carrying prohibited items, that feeling of being screened give us a sense of guilt anyway.
Baggage handling systems in airports have inevitably improved in the past five years and screening using the latest technology has undoubtedly speeded up the entire check-in process. Systems such as ExpressDrop have given passengers greater control of their journey times using self-service kiosks and bag drop desks to have baggage weighed, measured and tagged before leaving the terminal to continue through the screening process.
Some of the world's top security experts have said that the greatest threats to airport security can come from inside the terminal, with personnel having greater access to vulnerable areas. It is thought that the Metrojet incident was likely caused by the placement of a bomb by a baggage handler, which begs the question are these self-service, automated systems going to improve security by effectively reducing the amount of handling baggage goes through by 'real' hands?
Undoubtedly, airport security screening must step up to look as closely at the airport staff as it does at the passengers, particularly now, as the entire world feels vulnerable to attack.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation Wednesday making the state the first in the nation to automatically grant occupational licenses to anyone who moves there with an unblemished credential from another state.
The action removes a barrier for doctors, manicurists, home inspectors and just about anyone else who needs a license to do their job.
"You don't lose your skills simply because you pack up a U-Haul truck and make the decision to move to Arizona," Ducey, a Republican, said after arriving to a news conference in a U-Haul truck.
Critics say licenses ensure that professionals are trained in how to do their jobs safely and worry that newcomers may arrive from states with easier licensing requirements in some fields.

Q: How can i display correctly time I am building a code ,in Visual studio code with discord.js library. I want from the bot, when a user sends a command, reply with current date and time .
The code i am using is :
const moment = require('moment');
module.exports = {
    name: 'onduty',
    description: 'This is an ONDUTY command!',
    execute(message, args, Discord){
        var d = moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');
        const newEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
        .setColor('#0c0c0c')
        .setDescription(`**Ο ${message.author} μπηκε on duty στις :**\n`
        + `**${d}**`)
        message.delete()
        message.channel.send(newEmbed);

    },
};

When i execute the command it sends for example : February 21 2021 13:59 but my time is +2 hours(15:59)

A: With moment you can declare any tz(TimeZone) here you have a list of them.
Based on moment docs here is an example:
moment.tz("2013-12-01", "America/Los_Angeles").format(); // 2013-12-01T00:00:00-08:00

To answer your question I took Europe/Bucharest which is GMT +02:00
var d = moment().tz("Europe/Bucharest").format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');

A: Unfortunately there (currently) is no way to display dates/times to Discord users in their own timezone.  Hopefully Discord will implement a 'tag' or something similar that would allow bots to send messages with date/times that the Discord client could then translate into the user's own timezone (as they currently do with message timestamps/etc).

WhatsApp has just received a new update aimed specifically at iOS 11. Here's a list of all the new features this update brings.
What's new in WhatsApp 2.17.60?
Why is WhatsApp adapting to iOS 11?
The latest version, that is, 2.17.60 brings improved graphics for iOS 11, searching inside separate chats, and the ability to create status updates with text phrases.
Here's a quick breakdown of all the new features.
iOS 11 update has a specific UI style with a big and bold font in the title. WhatsApp has now adopted the same interface for iOS devices running the latest firmware.
In the previous versions of the messaging client, search results were displayed for all your conversations. This update changes that and introduces the chat-specific searching ability for the first time.
You can now search for a chat first and then enter that chat to drill down on your search. What this does is restricts your search to a specific conversation and enhances your experience.
You can now add text-only statuses without images. This feature is akin to the status feature that is present on Facebook.
Simply tap the pencil icon in the Status tab and you can then select various backgrounds to go along with your text.
You can also change the font style using the "T" icon and cycle through the backgrounds by tapping the "palette" icon.
iOS is considered the best operating system on the planet and is used by billions. This makes it very important for developers, especially of messaging apps, to tailor their applications to Apple's mobile operating system.
All in all, it's a great update with several new useful features that will actually be helpful to the end user.
Will you be installing this new update or stick to the old versions? Let us know in the comments section below.
For more iOS app updates, subscribe to our social channels.


Last summer we held a short bootcamp crash course for Gecko. The talks have been posted to air.mozilla.com and collected under the TorontoBootcamp tag. The talks are about an hour each but will be very informative to some. They are aimed at people wanting a deeper understanding of Gecko.
In the talks you'll find my first talk covering an overall discussion of the pipeline, what stages run when and how to skip stages for better performance. Kannan's talk discusses Baseline, our first tier JIT. Boris' talk discusses Restyle and Reflow. Benoit Jacob's talk discusses the graphics stack (Rasterization + Compositing + IPC layer) but sadly the camera is off center for the first half. Jeff's talk goes into depth into Rasterization, particularly path drawing. My second talk discusses performance analysis in Gecko using the gecko profiler where we look at real profiles of real performance problems.
I'm trying to locate two more videos about layout and graphics that were given at another session but would elaborate more the DisplayList/Layer Tree/Invalidation phase and another on Compositing.

Virtual 3D cities and geodesign in 3D are hot topics these days, and with new and upcoming technology the ability to not just view cityscapes, but do meaningful work, design, and planning around them, is increasingly becoming possible – and more portable.
While many of these developments are part of core ArcGIS (as found in ArcGlobe, ArcScene, and Esri CityEngine) they are also now becoming more broadly available via lightweight desktop and browser-based applications to knowledge workers, planners, and city managers – where many geodesign decisions get made.
While powered by GIS and GIS databases on the back end, new browser and lightweight desktop options are on the horizon. Here's a peek at two prototypes which provide a glimpse into what our future might hold.
The thumb drive includes an entire 3D virtual city stored in a geodatabase. The thumb drive also includes ArcGIS Explorer Desktop 2012 software, which leverages technology evolved from the ArcGIS Runtime project to enable the application to run directly from the portable drive, without needing to install any software.
Since this is a locally running application it includes functionality not yet practical in purely browser-based applications, including the ability to add local geodatabases to the cityscape, directly connect to enterprise data and workflows, use built-in query and spatial analysis functions, and also potentially include advanced GIS and geodesign tools made possible via the application's extensible architecture.
Another view into the future is provided with this prototype showing the integration of Esri CityEngine within the ArcGIS Online map viewer.
These capabilities, once integrated into the ArcGIS Online landscape for an organization, will provide better, faster, and more efficient ways to collaborate and understand geodesign in the context of our ever-changing cityscapes and environment. These will also enable broader access to compelling visualization capabilities, as well as focused tools that support targeted geodesign workflows.

Master of Laws (LLM)
Thesis-based program
We offer an LLM (general) and an LLM with a specialization in Natural Resources, Energy and Environmental Law (NREEL).
We accept students who have demonstrated strong potential for advanced legal research and writing. Most students in our thesis-based LLM program come from common-law legal systems. You will work with a supervising faculty member to produce a substantial piece of original legal scholarship.
The Faculty of Law has a wide range of research expertise. We have long been leaders in natural resources, energy and environmental law. Other areas of particular research strength include business and tax law, private law, administrative law and regulation, criminal law, Indigenous people and law, international law, human rights law, legal history and theory, and the law pertaining to privacy, security and technology. The Faculty of Law is a home of the Journal of Environmental Law and Practice and for our acclaimed law blog, ABlawg (ablawg.ca).
Our LLM program was included in the LLM Guide's top 10 energy law programs worldwide (2019). Our program earns this recognition for strengths in examining the relationship between society and the environment, in defining the interests we claim in the world around us, and in shaping the consequences of using those resources. The faculty has endowed chairs in natural resources law, in business law, and in business regulation. Our substantial law library complemented by the internationally-renowned Canadian Institute of Resources Law, which hosts symposia and publishes research on natural resources and energy law.
LLM students are eligible to become members of the University of Calgary's Graduate College.
Core Courses: Graduate Seminar in Legal Research and Methodology and Graduate Seminar in Legal Theory.
Thesis: Students will complete a substantial research thesis, approximately 100 to 125 pages, prepared under the supervision of a faculty member or other suitable person appointed by the Graduate Program Director.

Letters—We're fighting for Sheffield to divest from Israeli firms
Published Tue 21 Jan 2020
Rallying for the unviersity to cut ties with unethical companies (Pic: SHUPalestine/Twitter)
At Sheffield Hallam (SHU) we're fighting to get the university to divest from companies that participate or invest in Israeli violation of international law.
At a rally in November we called on Sheffield Hallam and the University of Sheffield to cut ties with firms such as Caterpillar, HP, BAE Systems, JCB, Volvo trucks and Rolls Royce.
A Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) motion was passed by both SHU Student Union and UCU union last year.
But the university has not progressed with any plans to cut their institutional ties with said unethical companies.
The university has even hidden the BDS policy on the Student Union website.
Management has also decided to meet with either the BDS committee or the SHU Palestine Society.
It claims that this is for protection of the university's reputation and financial state.
This clear statement of refusal to discuss the university's unethical ties is discriminatory as this has rarely happened to a SU society in the past.
The university has also tried to turn the student union officers against us by advising them to seek council from the board of trustees before working with the Palestine Society.
The university has violated the BDS policy and several other of its policies.
And it has refused to respond to a Freedom of Information request about its institutional and financial ties, and divestments.
By law, any institution asked for this must respond within 20 days.
Yet SHU has still not responded.
Even so, we will continue our fight against the neoliberal, unethical universities locally.
We urge you to do the same at your local university regardless of the Tories' post-election ban on public bodies supporting BDS.

The real gangsters
Your article on opioids refers to the disaster of opioid addiction, (Socialist Worker, 8 January).
This drug curse was "pioneered" by the Sackler family—the most vicious drug gangsters in America.
They have made billions from poisoning the poor.
In London, they have sponsored many galleries and museums. They have tried to seem like pristine cultural benefactors.
And the mercenary art world here embraces them without conscience or principle.
The Sacklers are the epitome of capitalism—they pretend to be "civilised" and "caring" while they exploit and persecute the working class.
Zekria Ibrahimi
Mindful Marxism
Sarah Bates draws attention to some important points about the dangerous influence exerted by the "wellness" industry (Socialist Worker, 8 January).
The most worrying of these is the way that "mindfulness"—a practice emphasising living in the moment—has been hijacked.
This can be good but if people don't like what they see, then they should feel able to take action.
Karl Marx was right when he wrote that in a world shaped by the capitalist system all workers have nothing to lose by becoming politically active.
Adam Colclough
Take on Green racists in Austrian coalition
In Austria, the Green party has entered into a coalition with the conservative People's Party.
The government announced expansion of the headscarf ban to
14 year old schoolchildren and the decision to take preventive detention for asylum seekers are pure racism.
It is shameful that a "left party" supports such racism.
Migrants, especially Muslims, cannot rely on either party. The talk of the Greens' "solidarity and anti-racism" turns out to be a pure lie.
What is happening here is the structural oppression of a group of society.
Anyone with decency and reason should actually see that this is about the exclusion and demonisation of Muslims.
Now the ban is being broadened under a left wing government party and it will certainly not stop there.

More police won't help working class
Rebecca Dale (Socialist Worker, 15 January) argues that more money for the police will lead to more convictions.
But the police are not there to protect us.
As Rebecca points out, the rate of conviction for reported rapes stands at a shocking 1.7 percent.
And more go unreported as the police increasingly use repressive methods against victims, such as seizing phones and accessing medical records.
This casts doubt over the testimonies of those who report rapes.
In fact, money for cops has little effect on prosecution rates. Figures remain relatively stable regardless of how much money is chucked at police budgets. Rebecca rightly points to the brutality of the cops, but paints them as being held back from doing the right thing by budget constraints.
The reality is their brutal treatment of protesters, ethnic minorities and working class mobilisations are expressions of their main role.
This is to enforce a system where the rich lord it over the rest of us with contempt.

Tories make hunger worse
Over the last ten years the rise in food banks has quadrupled.
Unfortunately under the Tories, the situation will worsen. We have to demand that food companies supply food banks.

Iranian people on the streets
I read how Iranians are taking to the streets after war threats (Socialist Worker, 15 January).
They are suffering under brutal and unrelenting sanctions, embargoes, and attacks.
Why don't we see people in the US protesting every day given their government's crimes against Iran and other nations?

Who should lead Labour?
The Labour Party lurches to the right, yet again (Socialist Worker, 15 January).
When will the reformists realise the Labour Party wasn't formed as a revolutionary socialist party? How many good socialists are going to waste their lives trying resurrect this corpse?
Ian McGeorge
The far left would rather maintain purity in opposition than win and change lives.
Alistair James
I am a staunch Momentum activist, but I think if Labour is to ever win power, we need a leader who can unite the left and right voters.
We'll never win by appealing only to the left.

France on a knife edge
Last week the French government made a temporary concession on one element of the pension reforms.
Both government and strikers are very determined and the conflict is on a knife edge.
The fight has to go on.

Woman's Place UK is wrong on trans
The Socialist Workers Party should not apologise for pointing out that Woman's Place UK (WPUK) is critical of trans rights.
It was set up specifically to oppose changes to the Gender Recognition Act 2004 which would have improved trans people's rights.
Individuals within WPUK play a progressive role in their trade unions and other political campaigns but WPUK plays a reactionary role.
The WPUK manifesto is a series of conventional demands for women's equality wrapped around a core of transphobia.
WPUK meetings are dominated by criticism of trans activists, justifications for denying that trans women are women and scare stories about predatory trans women popular in the right wing media.
Less than one percent of the population identify as trans. The idea that self-declaration or recognising trans women as women would undermine women's sporting achievements or vital data collection is nonsense, as is the idea that men pretend to transition to get access to toilets.
There is no automatic unity between the oppressed. In the early 1970s, important American feminist organisations opposed lesbian involvement.
Transphobia wrapped up in feminist language is still transphobia, which is why most trade unions, women's refuges and socialist parties do not support WPUK. Women and trans people have a common interest in fighting back together against the system that oppresses us all.

As much as we love food, less than 2 percent to the population is connected to the people who grow it. But, talking to your farmer is not as difficult as you think. Farmer marketing pioneer Michele Payn-Knoper offers five ways foodies can spend 15 minutes a week engaging with farmers.
LEBANON, Ind. – March 14, 2013 – Do you know a farmer? If the answer's no, you're not alone. Research shows we've never been more disconnected from the people who grow our food. Less than 1.5% percent of the nation lives or works on a farm, with the majority several generations removed from first-hand farming experience. But, farmer marketing pioneer and author Michele Payn-Knoper suggests it's easier than ever to connect with a farmer.
Find them on Facebook. "Farmers are just as prolific online as the population in general, and many are active on Facebook. Like their pages, ask them questions and share your thoughts. They want to hear from you," Payn-Knoper said.
Twitter up. "Farmers also are on Twitter and frequently engage in tweet-ups with each other or consumers." Twitter groups like @foodchat and @agchat facilitate the conversation.
No More Food Fights! is the first-ever book to speak to all sides of the food movement. One of North America's leading farm and food advocates, she wrote the book after continuously witnessing the growing divide between farmers and eaters that she believes is causing confusion in the grocery aisles and placing the future of farming at risk.
No More Food Fights! is available in print for $16.47 at www.CauseMatters.com, Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and other fine bookstores. Digital versions are available for iPad, Kindle and Nook. Learn more at www.CauseMatters.com.

Auditory dysfunction in aging and senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
Gates GA1, Karzon RK, Garcia P, Peterein J, Storandt M, Morris JC, Miller JP.
Virginia Merrill Bloedel Hearing Research Center, Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle, USA.
To determine the prevalence and type of auditory dysfunction in older volunteer subjects with mild probable Alzheimer's disease (pAD).
Pure-tone thresholds, word recognition in quiet, Synthetic Sentence Identification with Ipsilateral Competing Message or Contralateral Competing Message, distortion-product otoacoustic emissions, and auditory brain-stem responses were done in 82 elderly volunteer subjects whose cognitive, psychologic, and neurologic status had been determined through annual testing in a research center. Based on clinical criteria and the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale, 40 subjects had been judged to be nondemented (CDR score, 0), and 42 had a clinical diagnosis of pAD, with 22 in the questionable (CDR score, 0.5) and 20 in the mild (CDR score, 1) categories.
The mean age-adjusted pure-tone average thresholds (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 kHz) were poorer in the subjects with pAD by 5.1 dB in the right ears and 6.1 dB in the left ears; these differences were not statistically significant. Word recognition in quiet did not differ by CDR category. The age-adjusted scores on the Synthetic Sentence Identification with Ipsilateral Competing Message or Contralateral Competing Message were significantly reduced in the subjects with mild pAD. Distortion-product otoacoustic emission amplitudes and auditory brain-stem response thresholds and latencies paralleled the pure-tone threshold results and did not differ across the CDR groups.
Central auditory dysfunction was evident in subjects with even mild cases of pAD, whereas peripheral auditory function was not different from that in age-matched control subjects. Additional research is needed to delineate the mechanisms of central auditory dysfunction and to establish the sensitivity and specificity of auditory testing in subjects with Alzheimer's disease. We recommend auditory assessment, including Synthetic Sentence Identification with Ipsilateral Competing Message or Contralateral Competing Message, for older patients in general and in particular for those in whom dementia is suspected.

Sephiroth Joins Cast Of Smash Bros Ultimate
Peter Paltridge final fantasy 7, nintendo, nintendo switch, sephiroth, smash bros, Smash Bros Ultimate, switch 0
Last weekend during the Game Awards, Nintendo revealed the third of the six new Super Smash Bros Ultimate fighters. So far there's been Min Min from Arms, Steve from Minecraft, and now, Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7.
The archenemy of Cloud (who is already in the game), Sephiroth is Final Fantasy's most memorable villain, being the instigator of one of the most shocking and iconic scenes in all of gaming history (you probably already know what he does, but for the three who don't, we won't mention it here). Working with the space organism Jenova, his plan is to crash a meteor into the planet, absorb all the energy of the Lifestream and become a god.
He is also known for sprouting a single wing in his Ultimate Form — completely useless for flight, it is just there for the Rule of Cool. His big attack destroys the entire solar system (again, just to be cool and no other reason) and you have to just sit there and watch while all the planets explode. Then he does it again, the big showoff (and no, we don't understand how you can blow up the solar system repeatedly).
Smash has no shortage of sword fighters right now, but Seppy will set some kind of record for the length of his Masamune blade. The extra range might be offset by reduced attack power, but Sakurai hasn't explained how the character fits into Smash yet. We'll find out more in the follow-up video that should arrive close to this character's release date…which hasn't been revealed either, but Nintendo is promising we'll get to play as him before 2020 ends.

National Video Games Examiner Patrick Hickey Jr. chats with Josh Austin, Producer at D3 Go!, who discusses the addition of Eddie Brock's Venom and Miles Morales' Spider-Man in Marvel Puzzle Quest. Breaking down the characters' uniqueness and the continued development of the franchise, Austin lets us know why the game, even two years after its initial release, is still one of the best puzzle games on mobile devices.
Hickey Jr.: The series, even after two years, continues to grow. How rewarding has it been to be a part of the franchise?
Josh Austin: It has been a remarkable two plus years for all of us to be working with the Marvel team and to be able to introduce so many of our favorite characters within the Marvel Universe. I am one of the newer members here at D3 but I've grown up reading Marvel comics and I have been playing Puzzle Quest since Challenge of the Warlords came out almost 10 years ago, it's been very satisfying to be part of such a remarkable game.
I jumped right in around all of the Spider-Man related releases in the game, starting with Venom (Eddie Brock), Spider-Man (Miles Morales) and our newest character Spider-Man (Back in Black). So for me, right now has been such a great time to be a part of the team since Spider-Man has always been one of my favorite Marvel characters with his interesting story arc and possibilities.
Hickey Jr.: How will Miles Morales change the game?
Austin: Miles Morales brings a lot to the table and has much more offensive skillset than Peter Parker but retains a healthy amount of mixed abilities. Miles Morales is a Purple/Yellow/Red character in the game. His purple ability called "Hide and Seek" places an Invisibility Tile on the board to avoid damage but beware, as a second usage will remove the tile and deliver some strong damage. In addition, he also generates Web Tiles which powers his yellow ability and his friends abilities.
His yellow ability is called "Power and Responsibility" and Miles here uses his powers to create webs and save bystanders from incoming attacks, generating Web Tiles on the board. The ability brings a passive to the table as it generates AP for the team whenever Web Tiles are matched.
His red ability is called " Venom Blast" and here he can stun an opponent at Level 1 but also allows player to pile on the damage.
Hickey Jr.: What makes Eddie Brock different from the other Venom in the game?
Austin: The main difference between Eddie Brock Venom and the Mac Gargan Venom is the addition of the "Lethal Protector" aspect. This gives Eddie Brock the abilities that helps protect against enemy attacks while still being able to dish out vicious attacks.
Eddie Brock is a Black/Yellow/Green character. His Passive black ability called "Give and Take" decreases the enemies protect tiles, his yellow ability called "Lethal Protector" deals damage to a targeted opponent but also creates decently powered enemy Protect Tiles in the process of his attack and finally his green ability called "Symbiotic Fury" not only deals damage but destroys random enemy special tiles across the board.
Hickey Jr.: Any plans on adding these characters to the PS4 game?
Austin: We have released two DLC packs so far on PS4 and have plans to release one more in the near future. Beyond that, we will have to wait and see what the plans will be for additional characters to the PS4 game.
Hickey Jr.: What character would you love to see in the game next?
Austin: I am really in a great place right now with my favorites but with the Marvel Universe available to us, there are many possibilities that can happen. I would love to see some of the fan-favorites shared by our forum-goers such as Nightcrawler, Black Bolt, Kitty Pryde, Mysterio, and more get into the game but I think we've done a great job adding fan favorites from the Marvel comics and films. We release a new character about every two weeks or so and I think players will see many more of their favorites come in due time.
Austin: One of the great things about having the game available on mobile is that we are always able to fine tune and make changes as we go. I wouldn't be fooling anyone if I said every update didn't come back with anything that needed a fixing or two and I think that is what makes the game better as we are able to constantly look at ways to improve the game. Right now, we just released Champions Level and so far we have received some great feedback from players. As it's new, we will get to see how player engagement is and find ways to improve the player experience. We of course will have new characters coming to the game in 2016 and hope to have more awesome tie-ins like we were able to do with Galactus Boss Battle, Ant-Man event, and the release of Thor: Goddess of Thunder and Amadeus Cho (Hulk).


Hi Everyone! Its Sara from The Aqua House here again, and today I have a tutorial for you for the sweetest little baby mobile…from a branch!
After having four little boys we are finally expecting a girl (this month!!) and I couldn't be more excited! I have had so much fun decorating her nursery and I knew that I didn't want just any ordinary baby mobile. Hubby and I have put a lot of time into customizing every detail of her room, so why should her mobile be any different? Everything in her nursery has a very elegant look to it and I knew I wanted to break that up a little bit with something rustic…like a branch.
I love how the branch is the perfect contrast against the walls, and I'm just so in love with those little butterflies and flowers!
What little girl wouldn't want to stare up at dancing butterflies and beautiful flowers as she falls asleep?
Those little butterflies add the perfect touch of whimsy and the flowers add a nice pop of color to the corner!
Are you ready to make your own Baby Mobile from a Branch?
The very first step in this project is to go find the right branch. Since I live in a neighborhood that is fairly new and only has small trees, I took my boys to a local nature park and we walked around looking for the perfect fallen branch. It took us a few tries to find just the right one. When selecting a branch, you do not want something too green that may leak sap onto your crib, bassinet, or baby. Also, you don't want a branch that is too brittle and dried out because it will flake and chip easily. One of the first branches I selected was one that was very dried out and after further inspection I saw that underneath the bark were spider nests. Yuck! Be careful selecting your branch so you don't bring home anything unwanted. (Also, a good tip is to bake your branch in the oven to kill unwanted critters, if it will fit. If it's too large, try to "bake" it outside on a hot sunny day, in full sun.) While you are out finding your branch, grab a handful of twigs to make your butterfly bodies as well.
Once you get your branch home, wash it down and clean it up very well. Trim off any unwanted pieces until it looks just how you want it to. Make sure there is nothing left on the branch that could potentially fall onto baby and become a choking hazard.
Now set your branch aside, its time to start working on the flowers. We will be making the flowers out of tissue paper. There are (what seems like) a million different ways to make tissue paper flowers. This is method I used, but you can make your flowers any way you like!
You should have two different colors of tissue paper. One color is for the flowers and the other color is for the center of the flowers. Of course you can mix and match your tissue papers to make any combination of flower colors that you want!
First take your tissue paper for the flower and cut it into 4 inch squares. You will need 8- 4 inch squares per flower. I put 5 flowers on my branch so that was 40- 4 inch squares. Depending on your branch size and configuration, you may want to make more or less flowers. Then, for each flower center, cut a 1 1/2 inch square of the contrasting color.
Take your flower center and fold it in half. With your scissors, cut little slits into the open sides of the square, making sure not to cut through the fold. Set it aside.
Now take 8 of your 4 inch squares and stack them neatly together. Cut out a flower shape.
When you are done cutting, your tissue papers should look like this.
Take the flowers and arrange them so the petals overlap each other. It also helps to turn half of them about 180 degrees so if you didn't cut your petals exactly even (which if you free handed it, probably not!) The longer or shorter petals will be scattered throughout the flower, making it look better.
Next, take your flower center, unfold it, and place it on top of the flower.
Staple through all layers of the flower.
Now it is time to fluff and shape the flower. Start by taking your flower center and gently pull it upward around the staple.
Then go layer by layer through your petals and pull them up to the center.
Keep going until all layers of the petals have been pulled forward.
Now open the flower up and shape it until it is how you like. Repeat these steps until you have made all the flowers for your mobile.
By now your branch should be dried out and ready to go. Grab your branch and plug in your glue gun so that you can start attaching the flowers.
The placement of your flowers it totally up to you! I tried to make my branch look like it was blooming and so I chose spots to glue on my flowers that would give this appearance.
Another item to consider is which direction your branch will be hanging. You want to make sure that those flowers will be visible to baby from below.
Now that your flowers are attached, it is time to make the butterflies! I pulled out some scrap fabric and cut it into 3 inch by 5 inch rectangles. You will need 2 pieces of fabric for each butterfly. To start out I stacked my fabric right sides together, and on one side I free-handed some butterfly wings. (I chose to use white fabric to keep it simple, but these butterflies would look super cute in a printed fabric.) I made three large butterflies.
Then, still using 3 inch by 5 inch rectangles, I free handed four smaller butterflies. The size and amount of butterflies you make is totally up to you! You may want more or less, or even bigger ones, depending on the look you are going for.
Next, cut out your butterfly wings, making sure to cut just inside your pencil line so you don't have pencil markings on the wings. Lay your wings out on some butcher paper or old newspaper and spray with Aleene's Stiffen Quick spray. Follow the directions on the bottle.
There are two methods to letting your fabric dry after spraying: wait one hour and let it air dry or microwave your fabric for 30 seconds. I opted to microwave my fabric and made sure to use an old plate. I did four coats of spray on my butterflies and made sure to rotate them so each side was sprayed twice.
Once your wings are stiffened, it is time to plug that glue gun back in and grab those twigs and garden pruners.
Trim your twigs down to the appropriate size for your butterfly wings.
Then use your glue gun to attach the wings to the twig. Run a small bead of glue along the twig and gently press the wing into it.
Continue assembling your butterflies, making sure to shape the wings so they look like they are flying.
When all of your butterflies are done, it is time to attach them to the mobile. To do this you will need some clear fishing line (cut into varying lengths) and your glue gun. On top of your butterfly, find the center where the butterfly will balance, and put a drop of glue. Then gently press your fishing line into the glue and do not disturb it until it is dry. Its kind of hard to see in this picture with clear fishing line and clear glue, but this how your butterfly should look.
The length of the fishing line will depend a lot upon how far down you want your butterflies to hang. My fishing line pieces were anywhere from 8 inches to 14 inches long but you will have to decide what lengths work for you. To attach the butterflies to the branch, tie them onto the branch where you like and secure them with a tiny drop of hot glue. We don't want those butterflies slipping and falling onto baby!
Now it is time to hang your branch. To do this, I used 2- 1/4 inch screw-in eyelets that looked like this.
Place an eyelet on each end of the branch about 6 to 8 inches in from the outside edge. This part will take some time as you will need to determine where exactly to place the eyelets on your branch so it hangs evenly. It may take some trial and error! Once you find the appropriate place these can easily be screwed in with your fingers.
To hang my branch from the ceiling, I used the same type of eyelet, only in the 1/2 inch size. I painted my eyelets white to blend in and then screwed them by hand into the ceiling. With the clear fishing line it makes the branch look like it is floating in the air. In fact, my five year old asked me what kind of magic I used to make the mobile float, ha!!
This mobile would be perfect to place above a crib, bassinet, or rocking chair.
…and fall asleep under those flowers and butterflies!
Thanks for having me again as a guest contributor! For more home improvement projects, tutorials, and a full tour of baby girl's nursery you can head on over to my blog or find me on Instagram @_theaquahouse!
Hey sara, you have done great job and maked such a beautiful baby mobile branch. i will also try the same at home.
Really amazing how you have perfected this art, Sara. It looks really beautiful and your baby girl will really enjoy!congratulations are in order! and enjoy your day too.
Hey Sara… I just want to say thank you. This tutorial is so simple but it turn great. I love the idea to make baby mobile in natural theme. But maybe I 'll look for another alternative for the those pretty tissue papers becase no one sell them, all tissue paper in my town is just boring plain white. Again, thank you.
