'I almost don't want it to be over, it's been such a good story': Plymouth mayor says police close to capturing beefalo
Written by BRIAN M. JOHNSON
@brianjohnsonBP
PLYMOUTH – Mayor David Merchant said that local police are close to capturing "Buddy the Beefalo" whose story, he says, has begun to spread beyond Plymouth.
"He's become quite a folk hero," said Mayor David Merchant on the escaped Beefalo. "I almost don't want it to be over, it's been such a good story."
Merchant said that NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt Jr. recently spoke about the Beefalo on his weekly show. He added that there are now websites selling "Save the Beefalo" T-shirts and that Buddy has his own Twitter page.
"It's really taken on a life of its own," he said.
Merchant said that the local police department has been monitoring the Beefalo's location. According to Merchant, he tends to stay in the woods and has not bothered people.
"They've been putting oats a little closer each time to a trailer which they'll use to secure him," said Merchant. "Once he gets in, probably in the next few weeks, we'll have him secured. The police department has raised $8,000 - $6,000 of which will go to the owner for his investment and $2,000 of which will go to the game preserve he will be donated to in Florida. If he was captured the same day, he'd probably have gone to the beef facility. But, once word started going around, and because of the response from the community, they decided they wanted to save him."

Sony's Building A Battery With 40% Higher Energy Density, Due 2020
Jamie Condliffe
Published 6 years ago: December 19, 2015 at 2:30 pm -
Filed to:batteries

Battery life remains the bane of the technology world. But Sony has announced that it's working on a new kind of lithium and sulphur energy storage that will provide 40 per cent more life for a given battery volume, and should be ready as soon as 2020.
Sony tells Nikkei that it's working on a battery that uses sulphur at the negative electrode (and plain old lithium at the positive one) to provide an energy density per unit volume of 1000 Wh/L. For comparison, most conventional lithium-ion batteries have an energy density of around 700Wh/L. That means a new cell of equivalent size to a current-day battery could last 40 per cent longer than at present.
According to the newspaper, Sony plans to create a commercial version of the new lithium-sulphur battery as soon as 2020. It's planned to be a laminated battery, of the sort you find in mobile phones.
If 40 per cent sounds like a modest jump, bear in mind that battery innovation has been slow in recent years. Most energy source advances have seen step-changes in rapid charging, rather than improvement of batteries themselves. If Sony can actually crank out a battery which holds 40 per cent more juice for a given volume, we'll all notice a pretty significant difference.

At work, I'm working on a reply-to system. Letting our user answer to email and treat those replies as messages in a thread. This feature is available on a lot of platform like GitHub, GitLab, etc … nothing new.
We were already using a docker image for MailCatcher (great piece of software), but I needed an IMAP access to test the retrieval of emails and their parsing.
Since we're using docker in our development environment I went to the Hub to find an image containing an IMAP and basic SMTP server. After multiple try and fail, I found one based on exim + courrier + roundcube. It was nearly perfect.
Earlier I tried Rainloop as a webmail, and I have to admit this is the most complete I found online, I wanted that client instead of Roundcube for my mailcatcher image. I created my own image basing it on another Rainloop-nginx.


Triple laminated bags are made with Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) which is widely used to keep packaging products safe from the damaging effects of moisture. LDPE bags are used as the most effective packaging solution for pharmaceutical and drug products. These bags are highly reliable in controlling the moisture from pharma or drug packaging products and protected them for the long period.These laminated bags have the ability to keep the products safe in the packaging which is being stored for longer time.

Clubhouse Live is like a family
Sarah Riley
In my family, we like to celebrate. Everyone's always finding an excuse to get together.
And sports is the common thread. You don't watch a football game alone.
That's why, to me, Clubhouse Live feels like a family. Whether they're there in person or in our online chat, the same incredibly loyal Packers fans show up each week to our livestreamed talk show from The Clubhouse inside the Radisson Paper Valley Hotel.
As the host of the show's chat for the last several years, it's the online audience that I feel closest to.
There's a husband and wife from Madison whom I have a fun time picturing in the same house but each watching the show on separate devices so they can both try to win prizes. There's a mother-and-daughter duo who have been watching since the daughter was practicing her spelling by joining the chat.
There's a man who goes by Old Cowboy Fan, who doesn't talk about it much but is the real-life father of one of the Packers players. (OK, it's the worse-kept secret that his kid is John Kuhn.)
There's Bob from The Netherlands, who won a prize last year and it cost us a whole bunch of money to ship to him. Then there's the other Bob, this one's from Kenosha, who has been with us from the beginning and we all still laugh about the day he was a guest on the show wearing a Justin Bieber T-shirt.
There are friends from Arizona and Indiana and Pennsylvania. The list goes on forever.
Besides the fact that we think our show is the most fun — we tend to talk with co-host David Bakhtiari more about locker room pranks than Xs and Os — Clubhouse Live's chat is what sets us apart. We invite you to join the family at 6:30 p.m. Mondays at clubhouselive.com.
If you love football as much as we do, you'll fit right in.

HIGH FREQUENCY COMMUNICATIONS: RESILIENCE IN SATELLITE-DENIED ENVIRONMENTS
As militaries across Europe and the world look to modernize their forces to counter emerging and future threats, end users are rediscovering High Frequency radio technology as a robust and cost-effective Beyond-Line-Of-Sight communications capability that provides enhanced interoperability and battlefield superiority in the Multi- Domain Environment.
Equipped with High Frequency manpack radios, for example, tactically deployed forces in remote areas around the globe are capable of communicating over distances of 3,000 kilometers or more, even in satellite-denied and Radio Frequency-challenged environments.
'High Frequency communications are always available even in the most-demanding, austere, denied environments on today's battlefield,' he said. Keith Norton, L3Harris Technologies Communication Systems vice president of Europe and Canada Sales. 'High Frequency provides an exceptional primary option in a denied environment in addition to supplementing and effectively reducing the burden on primary SATCOM systems. '
Modern High Frequency communications assets deliver tactical advantage by allowing ground forces to remain on the move and in continual contact, transmitting both voice and data, while additionally offering the resiliency needed in contested environments. Without risking exposure, teams can leverage the full extent of its High Frequency communication radios to covertly coordinate with ground and aerial assets, as well as Forward Operating Bases (FOBs), with voice, text, images and other data, and even establish blue- force tracking capabilities absent of satellite connections and resilient against cyber threats.
New advances also include a resilient chat capability via ruggedized Android tablets, so soldiers won't interface with the radio itself, yet just text in a way that is fairly common across all generations in today's world.
As the global leader in tactical communications, L3Harris Technologies is on the cutting edge of advancements in HF communications. Through continuous innovation, the company's radios and related equipment deliver new and enhanced capabilities never before possible with legacy HF radios to ensure warfighters have the most resilient and proven solution.
L3Harris leverages more than 50 years of engineering expertise to deliver new generation wideband HF capabilities, including data speeds are up to 10 times greater than other HF radios, giving warfighters the power to share higher-speed communications and more sophisticated ISR through long-haul connectivity.
The company's unmatched resilient waveform technology, integration of 4G ALE and suite of modern High Frequency accessories provide ground troops at the tactical edge of the battlespace the agility to effectively perform missions with speed when communicating with L3Harris' Falcon family of radios. More than 135,000 radios within the Falcon II and III lines have been delivered to date and are fully interoperable with each other and future iterations of the product line.
Further, the potential for further Multi-Domain Operation collaboration increases as more military aviators incorporate High Frequency radios into their platforms for increased interoperability with ground forces.
'As you partner with L3Harris, you can take full advantage of utilizing known VULOS applications, such as ATAK, maximizing the value-add of the Beyond-Line-of-Sight capabilities that L3Harris HF brings today, 'said Norton. 'With this ease-of-use-focused development, L3Harris will continue to innovate and bring HF up the PACE Plan in your mission analysis. '
L3Harris solutions, including the Type 1 AN / PRC-160 and Type 3 RF-7800H, provide military advantages such as crypto-modernization enhancements, software-defined architectures for waveform and encryption updates and the ability to leverage existing infrastructure, all in some of the smallest , lightest and fastest wideband High Frequency radios on the market.

Since 1967, the Dental Hygiene program at UC Blue Ash has been preparing well qualified and caring dental hygienists for employment throughout the region. Led by our nationally-recognized faculty, students are guided in the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for positions of responsibility in the oral care system through a unique blend of laboratory, clinical and classroom experiences. This accredited two year program leads to an Associate of Applied Science Degree.
Our dental hygiene clinic is open to the public, enabling students and faculty to serve the community through dental evaluations and preventive treatment.
It may take two or more appointments to ensure complete and thorough treatment. Each appointment may last two to four hours. The services rendered by our students are carefully observed and evaluated by faculty members, therefore treatment proceeds more slowly than in a private office.
Advancement of our students and successful treatment depends on your commitment and ability to keep all scheduled appointments.
In the event you must change or cancel an appointment, please give the clinic at least 24 hours advance notice. Due to limited appointment times available, we may be unable to reschedule missed or cancelled appointments.
We are located in Walters Hall at the far end on the first floor. As you face our campus, we are the building on your right. You will find green-lined visitor parking spaces by our entrance. If spaces are full, please park in any of the white-lined student parking spaces.
We are located on #4 Metro Bus Line (Plainfield Rd.).
All payments due at appointment.
To schedule an appointment, please contact the Office Manager at 513-745-5630.
It is necessary that patients seek additional care from a private dentist, since services performed by our students are limited to preventive treatment and do not replace regular dental care.
This special one-day event occurs annually, with free exams and dental services provided by UC Blue Ash College Dental Hygiene students and faculty, along with partner dentists and dental professionals.
Patients 18 years of age and older in need of dental treatment may choose to have one FREE service: a filling, extraction or cleaning.
Arrive early; registration begins at 8:00 a.m.
Patients with specific medical conditions may not be seen on this day.

Transcript from online Conference with: Holly Hoff on "Identifying and Preventing Eating Disorders" and Dr. Barton Blinder on "Understanding and Working Through Your Eating Disorder"
Bob M: Good evening everyone. I'm Bob McMillan, the moderator. I notice some new people here tonight...and I want to welcome everyone. As you know, this is Eating Disorders Awareness Week. We are doing many conferences on our site this week and you can find the schedule link at the entrance to the chatrooms when you log on. Our first guest tonight is Holly Hoff. Holly is the program coordinator for Eating Disorders Awareness and Prevention Inc. It's a national non-profit group based in Seattle, Washington. EDAP is dedicated to increasing awareness of eating disorders in general and also the prevention of them. Good evening Holly and welcome to the Concerned Counseling website. I'd like to cover two specific topics that we get questions on all the time. The first one is prevention of an eating disorder. Is that possible?
Holly Hoff: I'm glad to be here tonight. Prevention is a main part of our business. Prevention and early detection are keys to working towards eliminating eating disorders altogether. We have programs at the elementary, high school and college levels that are aimed at awareness just for that reason.
Bob M: So how does one go about specifically preventing having an eating disorder.
Holly Hoff: We feel it's important for people to have correct information about some of the unlying causes of eating disorders. It's important to consider social, family, emotional, and physical elements. Each can lead to an eating disorder.
Bob M: What is the leading cause to developing an eating disorder?
Holly Hoff: We don't have a definite answer on that. Research is being done right now. It starts for some as a result of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. For others, it's pressure to be thin. It could be a result of feelings of inadequacy, depression, and loneliness. Troubled family and personal relationships can also play into it. One cause we work to fight is the social ideal of a perfect body, unrealistic images of beauty.
Holly Hoff: There are two typical ages of onset. Adolescence and then 18-20 years old. But they can certainly happen at anytime in a person's life. The earlier periods tend to be times of major change in a person's life. Change can often cause stress and eating disorders are often more than just about food. They can be reactions to difficult times in a person's life. These are also times when a person's body changes. That's a scary thing for some teens and unfortunately we're not often taught to expect or appreciate those changes and growth.
Bob M: I know we have some parents here tonight and friends of people who may be experiencing or starting to experience an eating disorder. What are they supposed to do to help?
Holly Hoff: It's important for them to learn about eating disorders. One way to do that is by calling our office at 206-382-3587 and we will send them eating disorders information. It is also important for these people to find support for themselves because it can be a difficult experience emotionally...dealing with someone who has an eating disorder. Express concerns in a calm and caring way. Encourage the person struggling to take responsibility for their actions and seek help for eating disorders. You can also be a good role model about food, weight, and body image issues.
Bob M: Now what do you mean by, be a good role model?
Holly Hoff: Avoid speaking negatively about their own bodies. Eat a variety of foods and eat in moderation and exercise for fun rather than strictly out of a sense of obligation. Avoid concentrating too much on other people's physical appearance, including size and shape.
Bob M: One other thing I want to add to that is, try and be non-judgmental and supportive. From talking with the many visitors on our site with eating disorders, that is something they really struggle with. They complain that their friends and relatives constantly criticize them for their eating disorder, rather than being supportive and helping them find the help they need. I know one of the visitors here refers to her boyfriend or husband as the "food cop"...always monitoring how much she is or isn't eating. So Holly, how does one approach someone with a suspected eating disorder with their concerns?
Holly Hoff: Honesty is important. I agree, being the "food cop" doesn't work. It forces many people into secretive eating. That is really counterproductive. Then they start lying about their situation. Express concerns and caring. Use statements like "I've noticed", "I see", "I feel". But remember, the person struggling with an eating disorder must take responsibility in order to change their behaviors.
Bob M: Here are some comments from the audience and then I'll post a few audience questions for Holly to answer.
Scout: One way of helping prevent eating disorders, in the thin sense, is do away with the thin models and use people with normal bodies.
Jo: Bob -- the person struggling must take responsibility -- very true -- but you aren't speaking to the fact that these problems were given to us as we were growing up. When do parents recognize they are doing these things to their children?
Maigen: My mom doesn't ask me much about my eating disorder, but when she does, she is bribing me to stop. One time she offered me a car if I'd stop. How do I explain that I would stop for her and for myself if I could. She certainly has no clue and there is no support or help around where I live. Are there any certain books I could ask her to read? Anything?
A Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders: Prevention and Treatment of Anorexia and Bulimia by Brette Valette.
And one of your audience members suggested: The Secret Language of Eating Disorders.
If anyone wants a longer list, we have a 3 page one we can send. Just call our office.
Champios: Wasted- by Marya Hornbacher is another one which gives a fairly accurate description of ed's.
Scout: Also, "The Best Little girl In the World," fictional work on anorexia.
Holly Hoff: Most of the online tests are listed "for your enjoyment only." It really takes a professional to make that assessment. Here's an 800- number for the National Screening Project and they are doing screenings this week all across the nation. 800-969-6642. And people can get more info on education at our website: http://members.aol.com/edapinc. The other thing we also tell people is that if you suspect that you, or a friend or relative has an eating disorder, then that's good enough reason to talk to a professional psychologist or psychiatrist about your concerns. Early detection is important for eating disorder recovery.
PegCoke: What can people without money do to help a friend with an eating disorder? I can't afford to make long distance calls, subscribe to newsletters, or buy books.
Holly Hoff: That's very difficult PegCoke. Because really to get professional treatment it takes either money or insurance, in most instances. You might want to try and get on medicaid through your local social services' office. We offer free information for anyone who needs it.
Rachy: What if your ED didn't just develop? I mean what if you knew what you were doing and MADE it come. I know that I played with a lot of ideas before anything stuck in.. I don't even know if I have an ED or if it just a phase.
Holly Hoff: The danger in eating disorders is that people may experiment with the behaviors. Unfortunately, they can quickly become habit and spiral out of control. I would encourage you to see a professional about your situation.
Jane: Holly, I admire you for what you are doing. Somewhere and somehow it has to reach more people though because if the chain of dysfunction isn't broken it carries on and people don't seem to know how to be anything other than what they were brought up as.
Journey: I struggle with body image a lot! Any helpful ideas on how to work on seeing my body as others see me?
Jrains: I understand that even in the medical profession, there is an ignorance about the severity and even existence of EDs. Where do you look for good professional help?
Holly Hoff: There are organizations jrains that can recommend eating disorder professionals, people with expertise in that area. The National Eating Disorders Organization-NEDO-is one. 918-481-4044. It is important to continue seeking a qualified professional, if one isn't a good fit, move onto another.
Bob M: And I want to add here, that a professional is someone who is a licensed Ph.D. psychologist or M.D. psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders...not just knows about them. It is up to you to interview the doctor. And you have every right to do that. That's your money (whether cash or insurance) and health on the line.
Holly Hoff: I agree wholeheartedly Bob. There's another group called ANAD. 847-831-3438.
Bob M: And while I'm thinking about it...and the money angle...there are university and college research centers around the country. If money is a concern and you are serious about treatment, you might want to call around and see if you can get free, or low cost treatment, by participating in the program. By the way, Holly's group does not have an 800 number. I was getting some questions about that.
Holly Hoff: I'm not sure what you mean by the "optimal dose" but would suggest a trial of Adderall or Desoxyn.
Champios: So what is your best suggestion for those of us with eating disorders that are working on getting better on our own?
Holly Hoff: That's a very tough question. You might try support groups in your area. And as Bob mentioned, I would check on signing up for medicare if you can't afford treatment. And either NEDO or ANAD can give you the phone numbers for support groups in your area.
Maigen: After my parents got divorced, my high school paid for my therapy. If you have a school psychologist, it is possible to get counseling therapy. You should check with your school counselor.
Jo: Bob and Holly -- this is all very well and true -- but a lot of young people don't get the help because 1st of all the parents do not let themselves recognize there is a problem and then many still have an old fashioned view that psychologists and psychoterhapy are something to be ashamed of. So they won't seek help.
Liz B: Also a lot of kids and teens do not tell their parents.
Bob M: That's a good point Liz. Holly, how does a child, or teen, confide in their parents without the fear of something "bad" happening to them?
Holly Hoff: It's definitely important to talk to an adult about what you are going through. For teenagers, getting help for an eating disorder will probably involve their parents finding out at some point. Without telling, eating disorders can be life threatening. They need immediate attention.
Katerinalisa: What about for those who have insurance but have used it up? What can we do? How do we get treatment after starting, but running out of insurance or money?
Holly Hoff: Kat, that is very difficult. I know that some insurance policies do run out...and if you sign up for another one, there is at least a one year wait for a preexisting condition, if they will cover it at all. Again, try what Bob said. If you qualify, try for medicare or a treatment research program.
UgliestFattest: I make $333 a month and have no insurance and cannot get medicaid because I am not under 21 or not pregnant plus I am not a US citizen. I am getting therapy through the local MHMR (Mental Health Mental Retardation) center. I have a wonderful therapist and I don't pay a penny because they go by my income and I am supporting myself and putting myself through college.
Maigen: That is true Holly. My mom found out, even though I thought that I was hiding it well. I am glad that she knows. Someone should know, so you don't feel so alone.
cjan: I am in an eating disorder support group and see a therapist. One book I found to have some good self-help advice was "Overcoming Binge Eating" by Dr. Christopher Fairburn.
Bob M: This is the last question for Holly. Dr. Barton Blinder will be coming in about 5 minutes. He's a psychiatrist and eating disorder treatment and research specialist. If you have any further questions for Holly, now's the time to ask.
cjan: I find that a lot of my binges and general overeating is stress related. I am trying to find healthy alternatives to binging. Any suggestions?
Holly Hoff: Find an activity you enjoy. Something to get you away from the food. Walking, reading, talking to friends. Anything that can keep you and your mind doing other things. It's good to have someone to talk too in that situation...for support.
Bob M: Thank you very much Holly. I think we learned a lot tonight. And the one point I want to make is...you can't keep your eating disorder a secret if you need help...and secondly, not dealing with it, doesn't make it go away.
Holly Hoff: Thank you Bob and everyone for having me here tonight. I hope that some of the tips and resources I have given will be a help.
Bob M: Our next guest is Dr. Barton Blinder. Dr. Blinder is the Director of the Eating Disorders Program and Research Studies at the University of California. He is an M.D. Psychiatrist and has many years of practice in the field as well as publications to his credit. Good evening Dr. Blinder and welcome to the Concerned Counseling website. Could you start by filling us in a bit more about your expertise in dealing with eating disorders?
Dr. Blinder: I began clinical and research experience with eating disorders with residency training over 25 years ago. At the University of Pennsylvania Dept. of Psychiatry, we began systematic studies of the symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, and experimental treatment approaches for anorexia nervosa. This included the first behavioral approach to eating disorders and the first careful evaluation of the rituals and obsessions connected with eating.
Bob M: What kind of research have you, and are you, involved in?
Dr. Blinder: In the past several years, we have completed the first successful trials of an SSRI, Prozac for the acute treatment, and more recently relapse prevention for Bulimia Nervosa. We also have accomplished the first brain imaging studies, PET scans of Bulimia Nervosa, differentiating it from depression and showing brain pattern similarities to obsessive compulsive disorder (hyperactivity in caudate nucleus of the mid brain) which may be involved in food seeking and ritual driven food related behaviors.
Bob M: From your research and knowledge, can you tell us, have scientists been able to come up with "what causes an eating disorder?"
Dr. Blinder: The causes are of course multi-determined and complex. There appears to be a moderate genetic component, certain developmental attachment disturbances which may effect the regulation of many self systems (mood, activity, aggression, and eating). Neuro transmitter abnormalities in the hypothalamus (effecting meal size, satiety, and carbohydrate craving, abnormalities in the caudate nucleus affecting food seeking and ritual behaviors). And finally abnormalities in the gastrointestinal--brain stem circuit which may perpetuate vomiting behaviors in bulimia nervosa. Certainly psychosocial and developmental phase (adolescents) may play a promoting role.
Bob M: I want to divide the treatment research information into two categories. First, we are interested in knowing what are the latest medications available, or about to be available for eating disorders treatment, and how effective are they?
Dr. Blinder: The new generation of medications will be very specific in targeting the neuro chemicals (peptides) that initiate, promote, and regulate feeding in the brain. These include Leptin (hormone with origins in the body fat signaling the brain), Neuropeptide Y (strong stimulator of feeding), Orexin (neuro hormone in hypothalamus which strongly stimulates feeding), and Galinin (neuropeptide which stimulates the eating of fat). The new medications will block/regulate/modulate these very specific neurohormones to help in regulation of feeding. Along with behavioral approaches and nutritional counseling we may also have laboratory tests to determine the excess or deficiency of these neuro hormones and thus have a rational approach to treatment for the first time.
Bob M: And what about the psychotherapy end of the treatment? Has their been any advances made in that?
Dr. Blinder: Guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association stress the cornerstones of nutritional rehabilitation, eating disorder psychotherapy, and medication along with medical and dental follow-up. Cognitive behavioral psychotherapies have the strongest evidence of positive outcome; however, family and psychodynamic therapy is extremely important in younger patients and where there has been developmental complex psychopathology. Where there is chronicity, co-morbitity, and severe developmental complexity, a treatment team should be assembled and the therapeutic approach conducted at the highest level. This may include brief medical/psychiatric hospitalization, an initial period of residential treatment, and a carefully formulated outpatient treatment plan. Limited treatment approaches are definitely not the practice standard in these disorders.
Bob M: We are talking with Dr. Barton Blinder, psychiatrist, Director of the Eating Disorder Program and Research Studies at the University of California. I'm going to ask this question and then we'll open the floor to audience questions. What is the most effective treatment for Anorexia and Bulimia available today? And can one who has an eating disorder, ever expect a full recovery?
Dr. Blinder: About 2/3 of patients with eating disorders recover in 5 years. However, 10 year follow-up studies have shown persistence of symptoms and rituals, continued medical difficulties, and a rate of suicide 10 times higher than expected for age group. The most effective treatments are those reviewed in the APA Practice Guidelines and those that have valid outcome studies. We must continue to emphasize early detection, proper diagnosis, and the best interventions at each phase of treatment. Most treatment failures are related to difficulties in the intensity of each treatment phase.
UgliestFattest: Dr. Blinder does it become harder to recover from an eating disorder the longer you have it? I am 24 and have had an eating disorder ever since I could remember, which is about age 9. What is the liklihood of me ever fully recovering?
Dr. Blinder: Chronicity (persistance) of the disorder is a factor that definitely leads to treatment resistance. In most instances there are coexisting psychiatric difficulties (depression, OCD, anxiety) and autobiographical complex factors that need careful psychotherapeutic attention. Often a period of residential treatment as the first phase of a carefully sustained treatment plan can be a turning point. Hope should continue and support and understanding of family and significant others is critical.
Champios: So the prognosis is relapse?
Dr. Blinder: No. About 1/3 continue some level of symptoms. Relapse occurs in a small percentage, but the more likely course is either reasonable recovery or chronic persistence (subtle/low level/openly apparent).
Pumpkin: Dr.Blinder, can you tell us exactly how an eating disorder is diagnosed? I know that a lot of people think that sufferers of anorexia have to be extremely underweight to be diagnosed with that disorder.
Dr. Blinder: We have been more liberal with our diagnosis recently (APA DSM IV). Anyone with 15% weight loss or maintaining level below minimum for height and age is current criteria. Obsessive ideas and rituals (including body image disturbance) and unusual food related behaviors are a part of the picture. The important thing is that the behavior is daily, unrelenting, and leads to nutritional decline and psychosocial handicap.
KJ: Information that I am receiving are things I already know. I know it's dangerous. I want to change, but can't. Even if I had the miracle cure in a bottle right in front of me, I wouldn't dare take it in fear of becoming fat. How do I go about getting rid of this?
Dr. Blinder: The fear of fat is a "code word" for a complex set of obsessions about the body and bodily control. This includes dissatisfaction with self, unusual body experiences, and pervasive sense of ineffectiveness in self care. Therefore the fear of fat is not a simple phobia, but a complicated disturbance of self perceptive regulation that needs understanding attention, slow building of trust in small steps (nutritional and psychotherapy), and restoring of hope and morale for the possibility of another approach to daily living.
cjan: I am a recovering bulimic and would be interested in more information on relapse prevention. I went over a year without symptoms of bulimia and then relapsed a year ago. I am really worried about relapse.
Dr. Blinder: We are just completing a national, multi center study of SSRI (Prozac) in bulimia nervosa relapse prevention. The data will be analyzed in the next 6 months and the results available next year. Subjects received medication or placebo for 1 year, following their initial excellent response to the medication. The relapse rate was then measured for each group. Unfortunately, I can't report impressions or results at this time.
Dewdrop: Is drug treatment truly necessary? It is almost as if you are drugging them to get them to stop purging, etc. Shouldn't they learn on their own?
Dr. Blinder: Medication really helps by reducing carbohydrate craving, meal size, food on the mind, depression, and obsessional/ritual behaviors. Along with cognitive behavioral interventions and other psychotherapies, the patients appear to have a better chance to succeed in self regulation. Studies showing the effectiveness of psychotherapy alone, I believe, have limitations in their design and convey the wrong impression of the seriousness and suffering of this illness.
Boofer: I have found that the need to purge comes when I feel fear or extreme anger. If I cannot express these feeling, I tend to purge. Is there a common factor to these feelings in bulimia?
Bob M: and we'll be giving everyone that address before the end of the chat.
Gloria: Dr., is there anything I can do to help a co-worker? Many of us worry and care very much about this person, but don't know the best way to help.
Dr. Blinder: Sometimes "gentle" intervention-like methods are helpful involving friends and family often arranging for the presence of a professional, if feasible. Giving the person understandable written information, reference to a personal published memoir or even websites that are informative. Starting with a physical exam can often be a less threatening initial pathway to treatment.
Marge: I was at The Rader Institute for ED's in L.A. for 3 weeks. It helped, but only for awhile. Now I'm back where I started, or worse.
Bob M: If I understand what you said earlier Dr. Blinder, even if you get treatment and have dealt with your eating disorder successfully for awhile, you really need to continue on with therapy and monitoring to "keep it under control"? Am I right about that?
Dr. Blinder: Absolutely correct---it is a long, arduous, and sustained process---courage and family support is crucial.
Dan15: I am a 15 year old male. I was anorexic for 6 months before I started an out-patient program just before Christmas. I have been eating very well, but now I am supposed to add the "BAD FOODS" to what I eat (candy, cake, cookies, pie, etc.). I tried to do this, but I don't like the feeling I get when I eat them. I don't feel guilty about eating it. I don't know what I feel. It is like I don't know how to enjoy it. Any suggestions?
Dr. Blinder: Nutritional rehabilitation is now both a science and an art. You need to work carefully with the nutritionist to increase food selection in small steps (food mixing helps, going over previous favorites). The relationship should be one of teacher-mentor-friend with trust and honesty. The American Dietetic Association has some very valuable steps and guidelines for working with a nutritionist in eating disorder rehabilitation.
Joanne: What do you do when your sibling rejects you when you engage in purging, refuses to understand the illness because she believes it is unacceptable and all in the sufferer's hands to stop?
Bob M: And that goes for not only those who have an eating disorder, but for those with mental illness in general. They are rejected by family and friends. What's your suggestion on dealing with the rejection, the isolation?
Dr. Blinder: We call it "stigma"--very common in all psychiatric illnesses. Sometimes families are judgmental, rejecting, critical, and withdrawing. They must be forgiven ultimately. Then educated slowly, gently, about the realities of the suffering and the difficulties with free choice of control in these illnesses. Family therapy helps and should be a part of all intensive treatment efforts. Putting the family in touch with NAMI and other family support groups can be helpful.
Bob M: I know that time is moving on. One thing I want to touch on is your research programs. Can anyone with an eating disorder enroll in your research programs. If so, how? And do they get free, effective treatment out of it?
Dr. Blinder: The research programs vary with specific enrollment criteria, exclusion criteria and time limits. In general, some continued treatment is funded, but often this is very limited, unfortunately.
Champios: Is residential or in-patient treatment your recommendation for most patients? I'm a bulimic that is working on recovery without the help of therapists or counselors and wanted to know your opinion.
Dr. Blinder: Residential treatment is only necessary as the first phase of an intensive treatment attempt where other treatments have failed, or chronicity, psychiatric co-morbidity, medical complications and complex developmental factors work against any reasonable chance for success of an outpatient approach.
Donnna: Dr, is the drug, Remeron, known to help with eating disorders? I've been suffering with both for 25 years and I am very tired of the illness. What can I do?
Dr. Blinder: I know of no published studies involving Remeron (mitrapazine) in eating disorders.
Jessa: Can I train my children not to eat to comfort themselves?
Dr. Blinder: Children derive satisfaction from many social, game, and educational activities. Differential reinforcement of these other activities can be done tactfully and gently, giving children alternatives to eating. Peer influence is important in determining eating choices and behavior of children. It might be useful to find a friend with better habits and invite them over.
Donnna: How can you begin to unlearn the behaviors of bulimia when they have become an automated response to almost any situation?
Maigen: I'm 16 and have recently been put on Prozac for bulimia. I didn't like the side effects and I stopped taking it. Are there any other effective drugs that you know of in the treatment for bulimia, that don't have the side effects that could interfere with my "daily female teenage life?"
Bob M: Would you like to give us your website address Dr.?
Bob M: I know it's late. Thank you very much for coming tonight and staying with us. We'll be posting transcripts by the weekend. Tomorrow night, as I said, Amy Medina "Something Fishy" will be here to share her story. That's at 6 p.m. Pacific, 8 CST, 9 EST.
Dr. Blinder: Thank you, it was my pleasure and privilege.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Native Americans United Club of Northern Arizona University played host to the 2014 Powwow at the Walkup Skydome on the campus of Northern Arizona University April 12-13. The powwow featured six categories of dancing contests and a gathering of tribes from across the U.S. and as far away as Canada.
The powwow started with Gourd Dancing on Saturday morning, followed by a Grand Entry at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday's Gourd Dancing began at 10:30 followed by the Grand Entry at noon.
"This is our second time hosting the powwow here at NAU," said Alayandra Aday, vice president of the Native American United Club. "It had been about 10 years since we had had a powwow here since last year's powwow, so we were really excited. This year has been an even better turnout than last year, we have more space and there are more dancers."
Dancers came from as far as Canada to participate in the powwow. Dennis Francis, a Saulteaux-Cree Native from British Columbia, Canada participated in the Traditional Dance.
"I have been going to different powwows across the U.S. since before March," Francis said. "I'm going to Arizona State University after this and before that, I was traveling all over, from here to Canada."
Dancers and spectators both enjoyed being able to gather and socialize. Blythe Largo of Maricopa, Ariz. and Danielle Bear of Kingman, Ariz. have become friends from traveling to different powwows. Largo has danced for three years, while Bear said she has been dancing since she could walk. Saturday night they performed the Jingle Dance and the Fancy Shawl Dance.
"We became friends from seeing each other at powwows," said Largo. "We usually go to different powwows almost every weekend. That's where we get to visit."
Whether dancers and visitors came from far away or locally, they were able to gather for a time of visiting and watching or participating in the dancing. Arts and crafts vendors were open for people to buy their wares, while the Native American United Club had snacks, drinks, and Indian Tacos for sale.

Peugeot, like a lot of major car makers, says it will provide fewer cars to daily fleets in order to aid residuals. We'll see how that goes.
A below-average residual value forecast from market experts so far suggests that the used market is unconvinced by the 308. Predictably, the Golf rules the roost here.
Opt for the 1.6-litre e-HDi and you'll average around 50mpg, which should please most buyers. In fact, most of the Peugeot's engines should prove frugal both in terms of consumption and road tax.
Reliability should prove good too, as the vast majority of components used are tried and tested, and the general standard of build quality feels of a high standard.


These are sand sculptures from the Port Aransas, TX Gulf Coast SandFest. A competition is held every year there in late April.. There are only two components to these sculptures; Sand and water. Wet sand is compacted in layers in wood forms. After compaction the forms are removed and the delicate art of sculpture begins.

Q: Can't fit Poisson to histogram in I've looked at a bunch of examples on here and tried using snippets of other codes, but they're not working for me. I have 4 data sets, but I'll include just one here. My professor told me that the data appeared to be Poisson distributed, so I am trying to fit a Poisson to a histogram of the data. Here is my code:
######## Poisson fit ########

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.optimize import curve_fit
from scipy.special import factorial

data = data59[4]
entries,bin_edges,patches = plt.hist(data59[4],60,[1,10],normed=True)
bin_middles = 0.5*(bin_edges[1:]+bin_edges[:-1])

def poisson(k, lamb):
    return np.exp(-lamb)*(lamb**k)/factorial(k)

popt,pcov = curve_fit(poisson,bin_middles,entries)

x = np.linspace(1,10,100)

plt.plot(x,poisson(x,*popt))

plt.show()

I tried plotting other distributions on top of the histogram like normal and Rayleigh using scipy.stats instead of curve_fit. Those kind of worked only because they have a scale parameter, which scipy.stats.poisson doesn't. The distribution for this comes out looking exactly the same as the curve_fit. I'm not sure how to resolve this issue. Perhaps the data is not even Poisson distributed!
Thanks for helping!!
Update: The data is IceCube data from the TXS 0506+056 blazar. I used SkyDrive to get a URL for the file. I hope it works. The first column is the modified Julian day and the last column is the log of the energy proxy. I am using the last column. I have null and alternative hypotheses surrounding this data and am using maximum likelihood estimation (from a certain distribution, Poisson in my first case) to analyze the data.
Also, here is where I got the data: https://icecube.wisc.edu/science/data/TXS0506_point_source

A: The data presented in your histogram does not have a Poisson distribution.  The Poisson is a counting distribution (what's the probability of getting 0, 1, 2,... observations per unit of time or space), its support is the positive integers. Your histogram clearly shows that you have fractional values, since the spikes are different non-zero heights at non-integer locations.


agnostic weddings | your fairytale wedding without the fairy tale.
your fairytale wedding without the fairy tale.
Greetings! I'm Sasha, your friendly neighborhood atheist. I've been marrying couples since 2002. I often think to myself that I have the world's best job: I get to celebrate with people on one of the happiest days of their lives.
Marriage is amazing and powerful because it's the act of choosing family. Think about it: your parents, your siblings, your aunts and uncles, even your children…every one of them became your family through dumb luck. (A case could be made for adoption and stepfamilies as an exception to my generalization.) You have the choice to accept or reject them, but you can never change them. When we marry, we get one shot at choosing a family member. Although your spouse will undoubtedly evolve over the years, and like your other family members, you can never change them, you do have the opportunity to choose your partner, with every facet and flaw.
For the first few years of my officiating career I maintained a nondenominational wedding website. I officiated a few interfaith weddings, a few faith-based weddings, and a LOT of secular weddings. I loved it when an atheist or agnostic couple found me with great relief after calling other officiants who wanted them to make a statement of faith or participate in church premarital counseling, or simply assumed that they believed in god.
This website is for those couples. If you're a nonbeliever who doesn't want to settle for tying the knot at the County Clerk's office; if you envision a heartfelt and inspiring secular ceremony with no religion, no dogma, no scripture, if you don't want to compromise and bite your tongue when you meet with your officiant, then have a look around. Feel free to contact me with any questions.


Respondus Monitor builds upon the power of LockDown Browser®, and uses a student's webcam and industry-leading video analytics to prevent cheating during non-proctored exams. It's the most cost-effective, scalable, and student-friendly system for online proctoring.
Innovation is at the heart of Respondus Monitor. Here's what's new.
Here's how LockDown Browser compares to a locked browser plugin.
Respondus Monitor reduces the level of cheating significantly. Simply put, students know they can't cheat. And I get a truer picture of how each student is performing.
Factors that led UT Arlington to select Respondus Monitor.
See in-depth demos, hear from users, and more.
Technology helps restore a sense of order at Tecnológico de Monterrey.
Respondus Monitor is a fully automated proctoring solution that enables students to take online exams at any time of the day or night, without pre-scheduling. Millions of exams are proctored with Respondus Monitor annually, making it the most widely used proctoring system in higher education.
Students use a webcam to record themselves during an exam. A "startup sequence" guides students through requirements selected by the instructor, such as showing identification or making a short video of the exam environment. Only the instructor can review video recordings and the results of the proctoring session.
Respondus Monitor uses powerful analytics to detect and weight suspicious behaviors during an exam session. Video segments with potential exam violations are flagged for the instructor, and all exam sessions are ranked in terms of overall risk.
Respondus Monitor integrates seamlessly with Blackboard Learn, Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle, and Schoology. Students access exams and the proctoring system from within the LMS itself. Instructors do everything within the LMS too, including the post-exam review of proctoring results.
Institution licensing of Respondus Monitor begins at $3950 for 1000 seats. Each additional 1000 seats is $1950 (or about $2 per seat). Most importantly, there are NO PER EXAM FEES. The price is the same whether an instructor uses it with 3 exams in a course, or 30.
Respondus Monitor is the easiest proctoring system for instructors and students to get started with. Training videos and rollout materials appear within the application itself, including sample syllabus text for the instructor, FAQs, and an excellent troubleshooting system. Free training webinars are also available to instructors and administrators each month.

North Carolina girl named 2019 Gerber baby
HICKORY, N.C. (FOX 5 Atlanta) - There's a brand new Gerber baby, and she's from North Carolina.
Tuesday, Gerber announced the winner of 2019's Photo Search. Out of a record-breaking 544,000 entries on Instagram, the judges chose 1-year-old Kairi Yang from Hickory, North Carolina to be the face of Gerber for the year.
In a press release, Gerber says the judges were intrigued by Kairi's "delicate expression and the look of wonder in her eyes."
"As soon as we saw her photo, we fell in love with Kairi's expressive eyes and angelic face, looking toward the future and being excited for all that it holds," said President and CEO of Gerber Bill Partyka. "We believe that every baby is a Gerber baby, and this year, are thrilled to recognize Kairi as the new face of Gerber."
As the new face of Gerber for 2019, Kairi will be featured on the brand's social media. Her family will also receive $50,000.

A third of employers are monitoring staff email and 40% of these employers' staff are unaware, according to the latest SmartCompany Poll.
The findings, from a survey of 105 business owners, follows an outcry from civil rights groups to the Federal Government's proposal that employers be given the right to monitor staff email without permission to protect national security.
But the fact is many employers are already monitoring staff email. The SmartCompany Poll suggests many employers are acting outside best practice and some could be breaking the law.
The only state to regulate employer access to staff email is NSW where employers must have a policy and must inform existing and new employees about it. If there is an email to an employee blocked, the employee must be notified.
Elsewhere lawyers recommend bosses notify employees. Kate Jenkins, a partner at Freehills lawyers, says that best practice is to notify employees that you are monitoring email, and monitor it in a reasonable manner – otherwise you could be open to an action for unfair dismissal.
So why are employers peeking into staff in and outboxes?
40.6% say it is to ensure they are doing their job properly.
47% say they are worried about too much personal use of email.
40.6% say they only do it if they have a problem with a staff member (such as bullying or stealing).
While these concerns are real, monitoring employees email without their knowledge shows a level of distrust.
He says research of the practices of successful high growth entrepreneurs shows there is a lot of trust between employers and employees.
Amanda Gome, founder/publisher of SmartCompany.com.au says while some employers may be paranoid, their fears can be based on experiences with unscrupulous employees.
She says that employers can sometimes be unaware that the information they are taking belongs to the company, not them.
The SmartCompany Poll found that two thirds of employers have an email policy.
28.4% use programs to monitor internet use.
8.7% use security passes with RFID tags.
2.2% are using phone taps.
2.2% use GPS in vehicles.
What do you think? Should employers be able to read/monitor employee emails?
