Texas Tech welcomes new faculty member
dvm360 Staff
The newest addition to Texas Tech will help students hone their surgical skills
Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine announced that Robin Carlson, BSN, DVM, will join its faculty. With 25 years of experience in veterinary medicine, Carlson is prepared to teach students how to work on all types of large and small animals.
"I have always enjoyed interacting with veterinary students," said Carlson, in an organizational release.1 "I feel very honored to be able to contribute to the education of future veterinarians."
Before graduating from Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University in 1997, Carlson worked as a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurse. After 10 years as a NICU nurse, Carlson decided to leave the profession to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. After graduating from veterinary school, Carlson interned at Chino Valley Hospital in Chino, California, studying equine surgery.
After meeting her fellow veterinarian husband, the couple moved to Visalia, California, where she worked as a surgeon at the Hanford Veterinary Clinic along with owning a bovine emergency and embryo transfer practice. The couple then moved to Iowa in 2003 to start their dairy farm where Carlson would routinely look after the cattle and perform surgery at a local clinic.
According to the release,1 Carlson and her husband sold their dairy farm in 2009 and moved to Texas where she opened Bushland Small Animal Veterinary Clinic. Along with her teaching responsibilities, Carlson will continue to provide care for pets in and around Amarillo.
"I somehow knew Dr. Carlson in the past – a moment of déjà vu when we first met," said John Dascanio, VMD, DACT, DABVP (Equine), senior associate dean for academic and student affairs. "She became a clinical partner with our community-based clinical year program first, and then we had an opportunity for her to join us in a growing role with our clinical and professional skills program.
"Her management experience in her small animal practice has helped us immensely with our own software, how to organize our processes, and many other methods to educate students for primary care practice," he continued.

So what happens now that billions of dollars were spent recently, including $72.8 million for a Mark Rothko and $71.7 million for an Andy Warhol, at the sales?
Is the sky the limit? How high is up? When will the bubble burst? Or will it?
From Chelsea to China, from Mumbai to Moscow, those are some of the questions you hear wherever art is bought or sold.
Last year at least 810 works of art were sold for over $1 million at auction, according to Artprice.com, which added that we should keep in mind that "until the end of the 1990s only 100 to 200 auctions per year broke through the million-dollar threshold." At least 200 works went for more than $1 million at the recent auctions.
We'll never know, of course, how many more works were sold in dealers' back rooms, front rooms, and at art fairs, as Carole Lieff, a Los Angeles–based art consultant, wrote in her newsletter recently.
"After all," said one dealer who has sold many works for way over $1 million, "since the private market is significantly larger than the auction market, I'm convinced that way over 1,000 works were sold privately last year for more than $1 million." So the worldwide total at auction and in private sales is more than 2,000? "Absolutely" was the reply.
We should also keep in mind that Forbes magazine, which annually reports on the billionaire boom, found a record 946 billionaires throughout the world, with 415 from the United States. Last year the figure was 371. There were 176 newcomers, including 19 Russians, 14 Indians, 13 Chinese, and 10 Spaniards, as well as the first billionaires from Cyprus, Oman, Romania, and Serbia.
But according to Richistan, a fascinating and entertaining book about the new rich by Robert Frank, the Rich List Company, which keeps an eye on the wealthy, has a list of more than 1,000 billionaires. And then there are billionaires we don't know about.
So whatever the number, what does all this mean for the art market? "You lose touch with what a million dollars is when you make a billion dollars," said one observer in touch with billionaires.
So how high is up? "There's no amount of money that's unreachable in this market," said another observer.
Look at the '80s, suggested still another. "Ten million dollars for a Jackson Pollock was a lot. Now you can't get a Doig for that." A Peter Doig painting was sold at Sotheby's in London last February for $11.3 million, placing him with Lucian Freud and Gerhard Richter as one of the most expensive living European artists.
Observers of Pollocks and Doigs were among the collectors, dealers, auctioneers, museum directors, curators, and consultants interviewed by ARTnews correspondents in 22 countries for the 17th annual ARTnews 200 (and the Top Ten), our list of the world's most active collectors.
At least that's what the late historians Rudolf and Margot Wittkower wrote in their book Born Under Saturn.
The Wittkowers also noted that "more and more Florentine citizens indulged in projects of extravagance and splendour. A sober observer noted in his diary for the year 1489–90: 'Men were crazy about building at this time, so that there was a scarcity of master-builders and of materials.'" The sober observer listed a number of buildings, including the Palazzo Strozzi, begun for the banker Filippo Strozzi. The Wittkowers called it "one of the great monuments to civic pride" and a "telling example of the new style of living." But Strozzi never saw it finished.
Globalization has generated many avid collectors. According to a Sotheby's official, 20 percent of the bidders at the February sale in London were first-time buyers at auction.
Just about everyone contacted by ARTnews said they were convinced that despite the highly publicized emergence of collectors from Russia, China, and India, as well as the much quieter arrival of a small number of art buyers from Singapore, Indonesia, Korea, and Abu Dhabi, the international art market is still dominated by Americans. The figure is usually 60 to 70 percent.
However, at one recent sale of Impressionist and modern art at Christie's, 29 percent of the buyers were American and 48 percent were European. A key reason: the weak U.S. dollar.
What else is new? "There are people who want to build collections whose budget per item is up to $5 million, and they can't get anything—they're priced out of the market," said Michael Findlay, a director of Acquavella Galleries in New York. "In 20th-century works of art, it's difficult to satisfy them.
Findlay continued: "The paintings that were $10 million or $15 million are now $50 million. The paintings that were $2 million are not necessarily $20 million, because you've got a smaller amount of people with a huge amount of money who are chasing the same type of trophy pictures—a Tahitian Gauguin, a van Gogh portrait, a Cézanne still life, a Cubist Picasso, a Jackson Pollock drip painting, a Warhol disaster.
What about those hedge-fund CEOs?
So how do today's collectors differ from Lorenzo the Magnificent? "They have to have a short memory," said Neal Meltzer, a private dealer and former head of contemporary art at Christie's.
So will the bubble burst? Some folks don't consider it a bubble, and, furthermore, they said, the universe of collectors keeps growing. Hogwash, said Lieff and others who stress that the art market is not immune to downturns. The consensus is that there will be changes, but no one is predicting when.

Heloise and Abelard
Title: Love Hurts
Dates: 12th century Paris
Words to know:
Courtly Love- (Occitan: fin'amor [finaˈmuɾ]; French: amour courtois [amuʁ kuʁtwa]) was a medieval European literary conception of love that emphasized nobility and chivalry. Medieval literature is filled with examples of knights setting out on adventures and performing various deeds or services for ladies because of their "courtly love". This kind of love is originally a literary fiction created for the entertainment of the nobility, but as time passed, these ideas about love changed and attracted a larger audience. In the high Middle Ages, a "game of love" developed around these ideas as a set of social practices. "Loving nobly" was considered to be an enriching and improving practice.[1][2]

DULL IS THE STAR
Dull is the star once bright with grace
In my heart's dark cloud.
Faded is the smile from my face,
With no joy endowed.
Justly I grieve,
For though it is near, hidden to me
Is the tender, blossoming tree
To which I cleave.
In love this lovely girl outshines
Every other one.
Her name reflects the beaming lines
Of Helios the Sun.
She is the mirror
Of the sky. In her I rejoice.
She is my life, my only choice,
Now and forever.
I rue the time, each day, each hour,
Of my solitude,
I who nightly pulsed with power,
With such aptitude
For kissing lips
That breathe with spices when they part,
And from which, to bewitch the heart,
Sweet cassia drips.
She wastes away and is without
Hope of nourishment.
Her youth's flower withers with drought.
May this banishment
In reparation
Be annulled, and be it guaranteed
That life together will succeed
This separation.

Fall can be the worst time of year for people with seasonal allergies. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation up to 40 million Americans suffer with seasonal allergies. Along with cooler weather and changing foliage, weeds and other plants release pollen into the air and outdoor molds grow under fallen leaves. These can be triggers for those who suffer from seasonal allergies.
Narges Mazloom, DO is here to explain how to identify your triggers, and adapt with lifestyle modicfications so you can better manage your seasonal allergies.
Narges Mazloom, DO specialties include Otolaryngology - Ear, Nose and Throat.
Melanie Cole (Host): Fall can be the worst time of the year for people with seasonal allergies. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, up to 40 million Americans suffer with seasonal allergies. My guest today is Dr. nargesMazloom. She's an otolaryngologist with Florida Hospital. Welcome to the show, Dr. Mazloom. So, tell us about seasonal allergies and how would somebody know, because as the fall comes, some people think it's a cold or they think it's something else. How would you know if it's allergies, seasonal allergies, as they come up?
Dr. Narges Mazloom (Guest): Well, first of all, I want to thank you, Melanie, for having me today. To answer your question, patients who do have some allergy symptoms, are going to suffer from symptoms such as itchy eyes, red eyes, watery eyes, nasal congestion, drippy, watery nose, post-nasal drainage. Sometimes they can also have a cough that goes along with it, and if they do have a history of asthma, they may also have some wheezing and tightness in the chest. Occasionally, it is difficult to distinguish between a viral upper respiratory infection versus an allergy. However, if you do not come down with a fever, muscle aches, joint aches, and otherwise are pretty much feeling okay except for those other symptoms that I listed, it's most likely an allergy.
Melanie: Do you have to be tested for seasonal allergies? People hear about allergy testing and all the shots. Do you test for seasonal allergies or if somebody comes up with these symptoms and it isn't a cold or a respiratory infection, you assume that's what it is?
Dr. Mazloom: Well, the most important start to investigating the patient's underlying condition would be a history and a physical exam. By history, if they basically have these recurrent, episodic symptoms that come on certain times of the year, then it does point towards more of an allergy as the cause of their symptoms, and then we also do an examination. There are certain things on the exam that can definitely point toward it being more of an allergic reaction. However, in order to be able to clinch that diagnosis, sometimes it is necessary to be able to do testing to confirm that allergies are actually the cause of the symptoms. And, when we do testing, there's different forms of testing as well. The initial one is we can do a blood test which is an indirect test where we check the blood levels of specific antigens in the body, and then there's also skin testing which we can know exactly how reactive they are to those items that we test. So, both of those are really good tools that we use to be able to confirm allergy.
Melanie: So, then, do we look for triggers? Do you want to be able to identify those triggers so they can avoid them? Because in the fall, depending where you live, it's hard to avoid some of these triggers.
Dr. Mazloom: Oh, absolutely. When it's a seasonal allergy, it's basically the pollens that are in the air. You don't have to be directly on top of the plant itself for you to be exposed to it. These pollens are carried in the air, by wind, and you inhale them. They are tiny particles and you don't see these particles. So, avoidance is very difficult. If you are severely allergic, trying to stay indoors and use the HEPA filters to help purify the air can help. However, again, when you do go out or open the window, you're going to get exposed to those pollens. Now, there are other allergens that are inside your home that you are, obviously, not going to be able to avoid such as dust, pet dander, mold, things like that that basically avoidance is almost impossible.
Melanie: Do things like air purifiers, dehumidifiers, any of those, work?
Dr. Mazloom: Air purifiers definitely do help. Changing your filter system within the home and using a good HEPA filter is going to be important to be able to filter out that air that's being brought in from the outside so that it decreases the exposure load. It's not going to eliminate it all but it will help decrease the load.
Melanie: Does an antihistamine work? What's the medicational intervention for seasonal allergies, Dr. Mazloom?
Dr. Mazloom: Definitely antihistamines are the "go to" drug. They do block that histamine reaction which is that initial or basically the key reaction that creates the symptoms that you feel such as the runny nose and the congestion and everything. The newer medications that are over-the-counter now are the nasal sprays. There are the steroid nasal sprays that are over-the-counter which are very helpful in controlling the nasal and some of the ocular symptoms. There are prescription medications that can also be given which--one class is called a "leukotriene receptor antagonist". One of them is called--Singulair is the brand name. And, that's an additional medication we can use to help the patient's symptoms.
Melanie: And, how often can you use those inhalers?
Dr. Mazloom: The nasal sprays are pretty well tolerated. Some patients need to be on them chronically, and then, they're pretty well tolerated as long as you know how to use them properly. Some do cause side effects such as dryness in the nose and nose bleeds. Some patients may get some headaches, but there are other ones that we can switch to if they do have some symptoms like that. So, they are pretty well tolerated and safe to use.
Melanie: And, what about some of the home remedies you hear about like nasal lavage. Do you think that those help?
Dr. Mazloom: Absolutely. The nasal lavages actually help clear out the load that you've inhaled and it's coating the mucosa of the nose. You can help by washing them out and decreasing that load therefore decreasing the amount the body has to fight against. So, they do help, definitely. But, again, not one thing will take care of all the symptoms.
Melanie: And, if you get those itchy eyes, are there eye drops on the market, Dr. Mazloom, that help with that or should you stay away from eye drops? Do they become, not addicting, but like an antihistamine where you use them a lot?
Dr. Mazloom: Yes, there are definitely over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops, There are prescription antihistamine eye drops as well. So, they do help. You don't want to, obviously, have to rely on them every single day. And, if you are a patient who does suffer from allergies on a regular basis like that, then perhaps getting evaluated with allergy testing and perhaps even considering immunotherapy, which most people know as allergy shots, that maybe the better route for you so that you don't have to be constantly on medications, and get a cure from your allergic reaction so that you don't have to use the medications as often. Now, I don't know if many people are aware that in addition to the more well known shots for allergies, there are also sublingual drops available by some physicians that do provide them. That would mean no shots. You just put drops underneath the tongue and have to avoid the--you don't have to get the needle.
Melanie: How fascinating. So, wrap it up for us, Dr. Mazloom, about seasonal allergies, what you tell people every single day about identifying those triggers, and helping them to get through that season?
Dr. Mazloom: Definitely. So, patients who are suffering from those symptoms of the congestion, the runny nose, itchy eyes, watery eyes, if they have a suspicion that this could be an allergic reaction and they're not quite certain if it's an infection or allergies, it's best to be seen by their physician to have that evaluated and properly started on the right medication. If they do suffer from allergies, for most ,it's not all the year, then being tested for allergies would be an important next step and considering immunotherapy to help them become cured, in a sense, from their allergies, would be something to definitely consider. In the meantime, they can certainly try antihistamines that are over the counter, as well as nasal steroid sprays and speaking with their doctor to be able to know which medications might best help their symptoms.
Melanie: Thank you so much for being with us. It's great information. You're listening to Health Chat by Florida Hospital. And for more information, you can go to www.hcpphysicians.org. That's www.hcpphysicians.org. This is Melanie Cole. Thanks so much for listening.

It's difficult to believe that many women in India are still unaware of sanitary napkins or its use. Menstruation is a taboo subject. As a result, women during this period are considered impure. Even if a young woman wants to use one, she either does not have access to affordable pads or the sales person in the pharmacy is a man, where she feels too shy to buy. URJA is working hard to battle these taboo's. To find out more on URJA's work, feel free to read through the information below.
Some Facts
Menstrual Hygiene is an issue that every woman has to deal with from around the age of 12, until she reaches menopause (late 40s). The approximate total duration of menstruation in a woman's lifetime is around 2,100 days, or 6 years. Proper and hygienic management of menstruation requires access to sanitary napkins, besides safe sanitation and disposal practices. Poor access of menstrual hygiene restricts movement and self confidence, and in extreme circumstances causes a number of health problems among adolescent girls and women.
The implications of poor menstrual hygiene are very serious, and can even lead to severe, life-threatening illnesses. Among adolescent girls, there is evidence to suggest that lack of menstrual hygiene leads to poor attendance and girls dropping out of school. Among women it may lead to serious ailments including reproductive tract infections. It is widely known across the world that the use of sanitary napkins, if manufactured in hygienic manner, could be a simple remedy to all such problems.
Most women from underprivileged families residing in rural and urban locations in India lack awareness about the health benefits of using sanitary napkins or the risk involved in having unhygienic menstrual management practices. Among other things they often use grass or mud during their menstrual cycle.
Financial Constraints
Financial constraints: Even those women and girls who are aware about the benefit of sanitary napkins do not take it as a subject of priority to spend money on sanitary napkins. This is largely because these products are costly for 72% of India's population, who earn less than 2 dollars a day. There is limited availability of sanitary napkins at economical prices and almost non-availability in rural and remote areas. Most of the market is catered by multinational companies and therefore market penetration is very low (estimated to be as low as 10 – 15 %).
Promotion of Social Enterprise
The project will help women to have locally available, low cost sanitary napkins, produced and managed by SHG women members for safe menstrual hygiene management. This project has a unique combination of a social aspect as well income generating activities for a group of women members. This will not only educate women about the importance of menstrual and reproductive health but also provides a platform to generate employment. The project believes that when health education is combined with the availability of an option or product, it will ensure greater behavioural change and actual utilization of a clean, safe product (sanitary napkins). Education and awareness is necessary but not sufficient and simply selling sanitary napkins is also not enough. Thus, a combination of behavioural change education with the promotion of a cheap, safe product is a combination approach that is expected to work best.
Cost of Sanitary napkin per consumer – Rs. 25
Price of one packet for Self Help Group, from production to sale – Rs 20
To establish one unit – total costs approx. -1.8 LAKHS/ +/- 20, 000 euros
URJA's project
One of the main goals was to remove the taboo surrounded around sanitary napkins. Many young women in India are unaware of the uses and hygienic benefits of sanitary pads. URJA's project helps women by producing low cost sanitary napkins.
These are produced and managed by SHG women members for safe menstrual hygiene management.This project combines a social aspect as well income generating activities for 10 female members.This will not only educate women about the importance of menstrual and reproductive health but also provides a platform to generate employment.

Title: Highland Jewel
Series: Royal Highlander #2
Author: May McGoldrick
Format: eBook/ Mass Market Paperback, 336 pages
Links: Goodreads | Amazon | B&N
Reviewer: Crystal & Kimberly
The next book in the new lush Scottish historical series from USA Today bestselling author, May McGoldrick.
Maisie Murray is the picture of docility, quiet and compliant in the eyes of her family. To her activist friends, however, she's a fearless crusader for women's rights. In the wake of the Peterloo Massacre, Maisie and a friend found the Edinburgh Female Reform Society, and she carries the banner for universal suffrage.
Niall Campbell, a hero of the wars, a decorated officer of the Royal Highland Regiment, is battle weary and searching for stability in his life. A fierce warrior by training and a poet at heart, Niall walks away from the shining career that lies ahead of him, to the dismay of his superiors. In saving his sister when a protest turns violent, he meets Maisie. Their relationship begins as one of experience versus idealism, of scars versus hope. Soon, however, he finds in Maisie the heart he longs for.
When Niall's sister is arrested and disappears, he quickly realizes his life is not his own, for the British authorities have a mission for him to accomplish in exchange for his sister's freedom. Overnight, Maisie loses Niall, her friend, and her home. And the wake of the riots that sweep through the cities of Scotland, Maisie's own sister Isabella is branded a traitor to the crown, and the family must flee to the Highlands. Here in the heart of the Highlands, Maisie runs into Niall again. He has a new name and carries a message of hope―but Niall has a task to complete―and their future rests on their ability to overcome the forces that divide them, or―for the future of Scotland―she must stop the man who owns her heart.
Crystal's Thoughts:
May McGoldrick returns with another sweeping tale set in early 19th century Scotland, to a country on the brink of war, and a rebel with a voice that won't be quieted.
Maisie Murray is far from the meek and mild young woman with little ambition that her family thinks her, she is an activist. A young woman with a voice for women's rights. Without her families knowledge, Masie is a leader for the Female Reform Society alongside her friend Fiona. Speaking at public gatherings and penning articles concerning Scotland's suffrage and the need for equal rights. When a peaceful protest turns violent though, Masie finds herself in the middle of pandemonium, with danger right on her heels. Thankfully, a rescuer is not far behind... Niall Campbell fought for his country with everything that he had, but the blood on his hands soon began to stain his soul and he craved peace and family. Retiring from the Royal Highland Regiment, Niall is now searching for that tranquility, and a purpose. When he realizes the peril his sister Fiona, and her friend Masie have put themselves in with their advocacy, he can't help but fear for them... nor can he help to be intrigued by his sister's courageous friend. As Maisie and Niall navigate the troubles sweeping through Scotland as King George IV endeavors to stomp out even the whisper of rebellion, friendship soon turns to passion and a future blossoms. But that future is snatched away before it can bloom when Fiona is arrested and Niall is blackmailed to take on a secret mission for the crown. Can Maisie and Niall find their way back to each other through the deceit, danger, and distance that is put between them?
I was so excited to return to the Royal Highlander series after the first book, Highland Crown that released this spring. Cinaed and Isabella captured my heart and I couldn't wait to see what the future held for them, and their family. If you're familiar with Highland Crown, I won't rehash that story. You can find my review of it and a general overview of the book → HERE ←. This tale however, opens at the beginning of all that, before Isabella, Maisie, and Morrigan flee Edinburgh for their lives. There were a lot of different dates to keep track of, months that would pass between the characters, that slowed the story down for me because I had to go back and remember the previous date to count time. Finally, I just had to force myself to stop focusing on those dates and let the story flow. Once that happened the narrative quickly swept me away!
Niall and Masie were dynamic leading characters, and while they don't have as many intimate scenes together as one would expect from a romance, there was no denying the fact that these two were meant to be. Throughout the story-line they face danger at every corner, never knowing who they can trust, even with each other. They grow, and change, and develop into respectable voices for their country as the story-line progresses. Creating depth and authenticity to their self. I really loved how they each fought for their beliefs, bending to accept each other's if they differed, and never demanding change from their person. They had courage. Once the plot moves past the point where Highland Jewel left off, familiar characters return and the over-all series arc advances with Cinaed and his mother finally being reunited. And can I just say again how much I love Cinaed and Isabella? Their support of Niall and Masie was integral.
The writing for this time period is phenomenally rich, you can't help but become immersed into the Scotland of the 1820's. It wasn't an easy time, and this author duo masterfully weaves fact and fiction, wholly capturing the hardships and hope that the Scottish people endured. The character's plight was moving and believable, and the political upheaval hair-raising. May McGoldrick is without question, my favorite new-to-me author of 2019 and I can't wait for more from this series. While Highland Jewel can certainly be read as a stand-alone, I feel that it is more of a continuation of the first book and you will loose a lot of the history that this series stands on without reading Highland Crown first. Teeming with action, intrigue, love, family, and loyalty, Highland Jewel is not a story that historical romance fans want to miss!
Maisie, his wife. She challenged him, body and soul. She was the air, the water, the food that sustained him. They were lovers and friends. She made him want to live, to be a better man, to dream, to imagine that they could stretch the happiness of today into an infinity of tomorrows.

Kimberly's Thoughts:
"Cinaed Mackintosh is my sister Isabella's husband. I can't let you do it. I'll not let you kill him."
Highland Jewel is the second in the Royal Highlanders series that follows three women. In the first, readers learn that Isabella's husband was killed by British soldiers as they ransacked their house thinking it was a den of traitors. While the first is more of an after the fact, this story brings us back to the beginning and follows Isabella's sister Maisie. We learn about the build up to the impetus that led to the three women (the daughter of Isabella's husband) having to run for their lives. While I wouldn't say it would be absolutely necessary to read the first before this one, like I said, this story gives us the background story glossed over in the first, having knowledge about Cinaed (Isabella's love interest) would certainly help as the connecting thread between the series is not only the women's connection but the tumultuous time period in Scotland and how Cinaed is tied up in it.
Lieutenant Campbell was far too bossy and interfering for her to harbor any illusions about.
Niall is the brother of Maisie's bestfriend Fiona and comes into the picture as he rescues Maisie during a public protest that gets broken up by British soldiers. Niall was a solider in the Black Watch, so Maisie is distrustful of him at first but Niall does a sweet job of breaking down her walls. He listens to her and admires her will and mind, which her family has no idea about as they just look upon her as a pretty empty headed girl. I was a little confused by Maisie and Isabella's relationship as I thought they read to be closer in the first but here we see them as pretty distant and not knowing one another at all. Maisie purposefully keeping her actions, like starting a chapter of the Female Reform Society, from Isabella didn't competently feel true to me. As Fiona becomes the catalyst for angst between Niall and Maisie and they are kept apart, I missed that friendship, too.
The back of their hands brushed. Her fingers were cold, his hand was warm . She wondered what it would feel like to entwine her fingers with his, to absorb the heat.
The majority of the story takes place in the past, with going back to explain how Maisie is at the place she is and why she distrusts Niall. Around the 60% mark is where the story catches up and we get to the present time. I liked this as it helped fill in a lot questions I had and we get to actually see Maisie and Niall fall in love. However, I did think the romance took somewhat of a backseat to the political drama going on. The authors do such a great job melding true history with their fictional story. The intrigue with Cinaed, the Scots wanting freedom, spy rings, and a Queen, were absorbing. The placement and tie-ins with the three women are very well done and although you have to pay attention and keep some characters straight in your mind, I thought how everything and everyone was brought together was inspired.
He stared into her face, and for the first time, Maisie felt like he was seeing her, who she really was. Not the outer shell of a young and reasonably pretty woman. And she saw him too. Niall Campbell was a man who wasn't intimidated by talk of equality or of women fighting for their rightful place in society.
This series is shaping up to remind me of Grace Burrowes' Captive Hearts and Marsha Canham's Highland, the historical intrigue can eclipse the romance at times but it's interesting and still highlighted with sweet and sexy moments. I can't wait for Morrigan's story, the daughter of Isabella's husband, and to read about her hardened heart captured by a hero.
What duty did a man owe to a king and a government that had forgotten the people, he thought. Not only forgotten. Conspired against, stealing their rights under the pretense that their actions were for the good of all.

DIY play teepees. I've mentioned how obsessed I am with the idea of putting a teepee in Cruze's (one day to-be finished) playroom. I've looked all over but they are just so expensive. With the endless list of things to purchase for this new home of ours, it's just not an option right now. BUT.... I've found some awesome teepee tutorials online and have saved some on pinterest here. Below are just a few. My only problem is that some seem too small and others are too narrow. Any ideas? I'm trying to come up with my own plan but it's giving me a headache!
Switching gears. I have been on the hunt for a good organic/clean shampoo. I have always preferred salon quality shampoos because it really does make a world of difference for your locks but, over the last few years I have shifted towards wanting something that doesn't kill me ( you know what I mean, right?). I've tried a few pure shampoos that don't contain yucky sulfates, parabens etc. but they've all left me and my hair feeling a little flat (or greasy, staticky and so on).
Ladies, let me tell you... this stuff has rocked my world and changed my life forever. Okay, I may be going a tad bit far but seriously the. best. shampoo. I have ever tried EVER. Even better than the salon stuff. I just ordered a second bottle of the coconut version because it had equally great, or slightly better reviews.
update: since writing this post I decided to give the no-sew teepee method a try. I'll update with pictures when I'm done. I can't wait!!!
I really enjoyed your blog Thanks for sharing!!

Great looking swap meet and pictures!


Alice Sara Ott puts in some solid performances on this, her concerto début album. The success – artistic I mean, although I suspect commercial too – of her previous all-Liszt release, makes the choice of his First Concerto a sensible one. She is not known for her Tchaikovsky though, nor indeed for any Russian repertoire. But then, Tchaikovsky's First Concerto is a work that can make almost any pianist sound good, so perhaps that one shouldn't be too much of a surprise either. The two works make a strange combination though. They are at the opposite ends of the Romantic spectrum, Tchaikovsky the traditionalist and Liszt the radical. The comparison between them does Tchaikovsky no favours, and the rigid classical structuring of his concerto seems all the more blinkered and pedantic for the comparison with Liszt's radical, almost narrative, forms.
I wouldn't call Ott a radical, although her readings of these two works are certainly distinctive. There is more rubato in the Tchaikovsky than I'm used to, but it is all very localised, confined to the level of the phrases so never interfering with the underlying tempi. Her greatest asset is the sheer beauty of her passage work. The quieter sections of the Tchaikovsky in particular come to life thanks to that subtle rubato and an exceptional clarity of touch, which allows each note to sing yet creates coherency in every phrase. In the Liszt too she really excels in the quieter passages. Like the composer himself, she seems uneasy with the concertante arrangement, as if she would rather be playing the work on her own. Or perhaps it is the fault of the composer that the orchestra often seems like more of a distraction than a support.
The one aspect of these recordings that let them down is the balance between the pianist and the orchestra in the tuttis. Is this an engineering problem, or is Ott just not playing loud enough? I'm trying hard not to be swayed by the image of her waif-like frame on the cover. In fact, I know very well that she is able to deliver some punch when needed from the many dramatic episodes in her recent disc of Liszt's Transcendental Etudes, which is as butch an interpretation as you could want. Having said that, she doesn't relish the tuttis here in the same way as she does the quieter passages. The bombast of the opening to Tchaikovsky's Concerto is a far remove from her natural artistic temperament. All the same, just placing her microphones a little further inside the lid would probably have made all the difference.
The orchestral playing is good and, with the possible exception of these balance issues between soloist and orchestra, the sound quality is very good too. On the whole, the orchestra, or the conductor rather, refrains from following Ott's rubato indulgences. That makes for quite a traditional relationship between soloist and orchestra, with the latter keeping time rather then fully collaborating in the interpretation. That said, the horn-playing in the Tchaikovsky is worthy of mention, and the string sound throughout is silky smooth and impressively unified.
A promising concerto début then, but one that also suggests that this pianist is likely to do her best work in the recital hall. The sheer clarity of her articulation and the emotional logic of her phrasing speak of artistic skills well in advance of her age. So where can she go from here? I'd love to hear more Liszt from her, but she is probably far too adventurous to stick with him for too long. Schumann's Concerto would be a great vehicle, as would Tchaikovsky's Second. She should probably give Beethoven a wide berth though. The 19th century repertoire already has legions of great pianists championing its cause, but nobody else sounds quite like this.

Elizabeth Forst is a Doctor of Physical Therapy educated and trained at Regis University in Denver, Colorado. Working as an orthopedic travel physical therapist, she obtained licenses in New York, Hawaii, Louisiana and California. Elizabeth focused her work primarily in California practicing at San Francisco General Hospital, University of California San Francisco and Los Angeles County Hospital\USC within the public health sector in impoverished communities; many of which had zero access to health insurance. With this experience, she is well versed in the difficulties and limitations of current health care issues. Her educational interests are based in behavioral neuroscience, orthopedic manual – based therapies and spinal cord research.
Paralyzed in a pool diving accident in August 2014, Elizabeth is rehabilitating at Craig Hospital in Denver and connected within the Denver Metro outpatient spinal cord community. Prior to her spinal cord injury, she was an avid international traveler with recent interests in Southeast Asia augmenting her physical therapy license learning Eastern – based healing techniques. During the summer of 2014, she obtained her 200-hour yoga and craniosacral foundation licenses in Bali, Indonesia.
Elizabeth has competed in six triathlons through Team in Training and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, maintains an advanced scuba diving certification, and is a lover of all professional sports. She is connected within the international yoga community and is continually fascinated with the integration of Western and Eastern philosophies of healing.
I just returned from my second diving trip with disability – with Craig hospital's therapeutic recreation department and the assistance of A 1 scuba in Littleton Colorado. I performed nine dives in five days in Cayman Brock, a small island off the coast of the Grand Cayman's in the Caribbean. The weather was perfect, the diving was impeccable, the support of my dive buddies and crew were awesome and a journey across the country/world was totally worth it. It took 25 hours to get home to Denver Colorado and I had to do 15 physical transfers and I cannot help to think that none of this would be possible without my family Tracy and Stephanie, my caregiver Debbie and my helpful lifters on the plane – you know who you are! Here are a couple Fun videos thus far of the trip… Enjoy and thank you again for all of your support, none of this would be possible without my friends, my family, friends of friends, friends of my family, etc. thank you thank you thank you!

In between crazy hail, thunder and lightning storms that are very representative of the springtime in the Rockies, it is time to update on my progress as many exciting things are happening here in Denver and in San Francisco the next couple of weeks. In-store for this blog is information pertaining to the fundraiser activities in Los Angeles and upcoming in San Francisco, a new exciting opportunity I have undertaken with the Christopher Reeve foundation, recent news on my spinal cord injury condition/therapy and some exciting tidbits about The Forst Family.
First and foremost, this last week presented itself as very bittersweet as my mom returned to Charleston, South Carolina to settle into her new house to finalize her unpacking job that has been on hold for the last year as she has been my main companion, loving caretaker, and mother extraordinaire. I will miss her greatly yet I know it will be a fantastic time for her to get some well-deserved R&R, reacquaint herself with her new community and enjoy the wonderful, sunny and beachy summer in the beautiful South. She will also get to spend quality time with my brother Chris, his wife Carolyn and their new baby Madalyn Elizabeth who was born three months ago. Our family is so excited about their news – Carolyn, Chris and baby are doing beautifully. In my mom's absence this summer, I am delighted to have my niece Rachel stay with me as she takes a summer break from her nursing program at Chaminade University in Honolulu Hawaii. She is already proving to be a great companion and roommate for me, and I look forward to spending a couple months of quality time with her and teaching her everything I know.
Some exciting news on the job front is that I have been offered a position on the very first Public Impact Panel within the Christopher Reeve Foundation – along with eight other very impressive individuals of various ages and socioeconomic backgrounds dealing with paralysis. Our focus is threefold: research, advocacy and quality of life for those individuals in similar situations. I represent the newest injured individual of the panel, the highest level of injury and with a background in healthcare, yoga and meditation. We will have our first in-person meeting in early August as the foundation is flying us to New Jersey to the foundation headquarters to discuss our future work together to coordinate efforts. The position is unpaid at this time, yet is a wonderful way to get my foot in the door with a great organization and hopefully potentially grow into something larger in the future. Little did I know that when I was at Craig Hospital staying in the room that Christopher Reeve actually stayed in that I would I be following in his footsteps to be part of the revolution to find a cure and treatment for spinal cord injuries. It was meant to be smile emoticon. I am ready to start my public speaking career, lobbying DC, continuing to teach and educate and be part of this grand plan that I somehow found myself in a year ago this summer.
Now onto the fund-raising updates. This past weekend, my very dear friend Joey Soto single-handedly organized an unbelievably successful fundraiser called Forst Fest Sun and Splash 2015; part fundraiser for my healing efforts and also a celebration of her 40th year. 2 full days…going into the nights at an ultra plush mansion on a private estate once inhabited by Frank Sinatra. Alongside awesome DJ beats, poolside fun, gorgeous vistas, live art, fire performances, friends from all walks of life and most importantly creating community –minded support – the event was a huge success with over 200 people attending. Thank you to all who made the trip to celebrate both of our lives; the outpouring of gifts, auction items, volunteer time and excitement to support for such a cause was overwhelmingly amazing. All I can say is wow! There is already talk about this being an annual event so stay tuned for 2016! This is what it's all about people… Community community community.
Very exciting news – The highly anticipated Norcal fundraiser is planned for June 25 in San Francisco at Tres, formally Tres Agaves, in the south of market area from 6 to 11 PM. The event will be yet another opportunity to gather friends and family in support of my healing efforts Including live music, dinner, drinks, live and silent auction items with great prizes, DJs and more! You would not believe some of the auction items coming in – including weekend trips to Vail Colorado, Orlando, Tahoe California… Private movie showings, catered dinners, DJ events, dog walking services, sports tickets for the Giants, warriors and San Jose earthquakes, bluegrass tickets, super expensive wine, gift certificates to high-end restaurants in the bay area, burning Man tickets, donated art from all walks of life, and on and on and on. The most exciting part of this event for me is that I will be in attendance – as this will prove my very first attempt at travel and what a better place to go but the city by the Bay. I hope to see all of you there, and please spread the word to all of your family members, friends, and to whomever would like to join us in the celebration. It is going to be a super fun event, especially since my brother Jon, his wife Amanda and his whole trademark events crew are helping plan the affair – thank you TM events, you have always been a major part of my cheering squad and I look forward to this amazing event.
It will also represent myself fulfilling a lifelong dream of traveling and circling the globe… I started this journey one year ago in May with my trip to Bali, then to Thailand, back to the East Coast where I was injured then on to Denver for rehab and finally fulfilling this journey one year later back to San Francisco. Little did I know how I was going to make this around the world trip with the bumps in the road along the way, but excitedly I will be fulfilling this. Please see event information below – I attached a few different ways of how to attend. It is important to RSVP so that we know how many will be in attendance and can plan accordingly with the venue – we are expecting over 100 people!
All levels of support are most appreciated!
EB, thinking of you at this spiritual and magical time of year and wishing you every good thing imaginable! Merry Christmas, much love.
Sunshine Soul Sister, I am so proud of you and I love you for eternity!
Hi Elizabeth -- The news on your pages is good. The Reeves Foundation must be delighted to have you with all your skills and savvy. I'm sending you a ton of best wishes.
EB, It's amazing how easy we got caught up in our day to day. I feel terrible as I just found out about your injury through Facebook and I wish I had been able to offer some support sooner! All of those years supporting TNT its only fitting that you deserve every little bit that can be given. You were always so positive and fun to be around. You were/ are such a generous person and you deserve it back now more than ever. I'll will keep you in my thoughts and send good juju your way as you get through your recovery and rehab. Be strong... as every bit that you get better, even if it's the smallest movement, gives everyone around you and in your circle TONS of courage and strength to tackle their/our everyday "challenges" as they pale in comparison to the obstacles that you are overcoming on a regular basis. Every achievement matters, seriously, no matter how big or minute it may seem.
Sorry we were not able to make the event….I'm sure it was wonderful! All the best to you Elizabeth. I hope we can all meet sometime on the "Hill".
EB, I am sorry to miss the fundraiser in SF. Jon and Elle are friends of mine and that makes you family too. My catering company, Beets, has done lots of work with Trademark in the past. You are lucky to be surrounded by such a team of awesome loyal friends. I look forward to updates on your new work.
Hi Elizabeth, my husband Duncan and I send lots of love and support your way. We've been lucky to know Jon and Amanda and have heard wonderful things about you. We look forward to hearing more.
Hello Elizabeth, We've never met. Amanda shared your moving story with me (we used to work together). Your resilience is inspiring, and your vulnerability touches me deeply. Many flowers blossom in the nooks and crannies of seemingly barren landscapes. I wish for you to find each and every one of them.
Hi EB - We've only met a few times, but Julie has shared with me about your accident and your rehab process. I have so much admiration for your bravery and perseverance and I know you will continue to make a difference in people's lives. You are in my thoughts often.
Dear EB, You are in our thoughts and prayers, always! Let God's grace lift you up, your spirit of adventure carry you forward, and the love of your friends and family give you the strength to continue!
Hi Elizabeth! I haven't seen you since you were little (an adorable petite blondie with freckles) and you probably don't remember me. Your sister Allison was one of my best friends at Chaminade. My family and friends in the mothers' rosary group at St. Clement Church in Chicago are praying passionately for your full recovery. I believe in miracles and the incredible power of prayer! May our heavenly Father bless you and watch over you.
We are with you, Elizabeth, and hope for the very best.
Much love and many prayers Ebas! Stay strong!!
Tom Stroot and the Damascus Stroots.
EB- The Lowe Family and all of K-Town think of you daily. Keep up the hard work. See you at Caddies in a few weeks.

The aluminum handles are easier to grip, carry and maneuver when cutting at awkward angles.


Cleveland emerged as an important American manufacturing center, becoming the nation's fifth largest city by 1920. Industrial jobs were attracting waves of people and businesses proclaimed that Cleveland was the "best location in the nation." Cleveland was designed to thrive and be a world class city, but what happened? Chris Ronayne has all the answers and he is a driving force behind developing and improving our city.
Chris Ronayne is President of University Circle Inc (UCI), the non-profit community service corporation responsible for the development, service, and advocacy of University Circle as a world-class center of innovation in health care, education, and arts & culture. Since becoming UCI's president in 2005, Chris has developed a dynamic and aggressive agenda to leverage the assets of the Circle's anchor "Eds, Meds, and Arts" organizations and transform the neighborhood into a vibrant mixed-use district.
Before joining UCI, he served the City of Cleveland as the City's Planning Director, Chief Development Officer, and Chief of Staff. He was the chief architect of the City's Waterfront District Plan, an ambitious effort to reconnect the people of Cleveland to Lake Erie.
In addition to his role at UCI, he serves on the Port of Cleveland Board of Trustees, is Chairman of the Holden Parks Trust, and is a member of CEOs for Cities, the American Planning Association, and numerous local boards and foundations. Chris holds a Masters degree in Urban Planning, Design, and Development from Cleveland State University and a Bachelors degree in Business from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.


BOSTON -- Behind a strong showing from Kyle Gibson, the Twins took the series opener against the Boston Red Sox Thursday night.
Gibson went 8 full innings, giving up only 1 run, striking out 7. Gibson also only gave up 4 hits, and the MLB's best team only managed 5 for the game. The Twins had 2 runs on 8 hits, with Mitch Garver picking up an RBI double.
Red Sox starter Brian Johnson didn't give up any earned runs but only went 5 innings. Twins closer Fernando Rodney came in and earned the save in the 9th.
Lance Lynn takes the mound Friday night for the Twins. Chris Sale will pitch for the Red Sox.
The Twins picked up their fourth win in a row, moving to 48-55 on the season.


Northern Illinois has hired well-traveled coach Derrick Jackson as its new defensive coordinator.
Jackson, who also will serve as associate head coach and safeties coach, most recently served as the cornerbacks coach for Purdue for the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Jackson previously made a stop in DeKalb as a defensive line coach in 2005.

Arizona wants a voice in wolf lawsuit
Hubble Ray Smith
Originally Published: September 10, 2015 6 a.m.
PHOENIX - The state of Arizona and Office of Arizona Attorney General filed a motion Sept. 1 to intervene in a lawsuit brought by several groups against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that challenges management of the Mexican gray wolf in Arizona and New Mexico.
Arizona Game and Fish Department took the action to defend the state's interests with respect to the Wildlife Service's revised rule for Mexican wolves.
The lawsuit filed by WildEarth Guardians and others in July alleges that U.S. Fish and Wildlife's cooperation with Arizona Game and Fish is a violation of federal law.
"The parameters in the revised rule use sound scientific principles and address critical stakeholder concerns, one of the primary obstacles to successfully reestablishing Mexican wolves," said Larry Voyles, director of the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
"The groups that filed the suit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on this aspect of the reintroduction project lack an on-the-ground perspective of what changes will have the highest likelihood of success for Mexican wolves."
The Wildlife Service worked extensively with Arizona Game and Fish, as required by the Endangered Species Act, to develop the revised rule.
The goal of the agencies is to balance the needs and interests of the Mexican wolf reintroduction project, local stakeholders and all other wildlife species held in trust by the department. Changes in the rule greatly increase the contribution made within the Southwest to overall Mexican wolf recovery, Attorney General Mark Brnovich said.
"I trust Arizonans to determine what is best for our state and its wildlife," he said. "Game and Fish's motion to intervene will help ensure we manage the reintroduction of the Mexican wolf in a manner that best conserves the species while protecting the property rights and interests of Arizonans."
One criticism of the new rule concerns expansion of the area to be occupied by Mexican wolves. In recommending the expansion by more than eight times its previous size, the department used extensive biological studies to guide its recommendation for westward expansion of wolves in Arizona.
Critics also disagree with the population objective defined in the new rule, although it is more than triple the population goal defined in the current Mexican wolf management plan. The population objective for Arizona is an important component of Mexican wolf recovery, but full recovery must incorporate Mexico as well, given that 90 percent of the historical habitat for Mexican wolves is south of the border.

Never take reaching Champions League semi-finals for granted – Jurgen Klopp
Posted Thursday, April 14, 2022 by PA
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists qualifying for a Champions League semi-final should never be taken for granted despite two late goals spoiling the party at home to Benfica.
Klopp's side secured a place in the last four for the third time in five seasons with a 6-4 aggregate scoreline after some uncharacteristic sloppiness saw them draw 3-3 in the second leg.
But the Reds boss refused to criticise a team registering seven changes from Sunday's draw at Manchester City – including a second-choice defence – after admitting even he thought the job was done at 3-1 with less than 20 minutes to go.
Ibrahima Konate scored for the second time against Benfica (Peter Byrne/PA)
"First and foremost, when we qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League if I would not be happy then wake me up because that would be crazy," said Klopp.
"If the day comes that we qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League and I am not happy, please come and knock me out.
"It's great, absolutely great, We never take something like this for granted. I am really happy.
"I know we will talk about the game and the goals we conceded but the day when I am not over the moon about qualifying for a Champions League semi-final then something is really wrong.
Two assists for the Greek Scouser tonight 👏 pic.twitter.com/SyHX6UBZJB
— Liverpool FC (@LFC) April 13, 2022
"I made seven changes and that last line never played together, I decided that yesterday.
"The next problem is we are 3-1 up, 6-2 on aggregate, and it is very busy period and some of these guys didn't play 90 minutes often and as human beings they think 'Job done'.
"After 3-1 everyone – me included – thought it was 'That's it' but Benfica were still on fire.
"It should not be as easy against us as it was tonight. Benfica deserved the three goals, of course we could have scored more."
Roberto Firmino's double ensured Liverpool always held the advantage over Benfica (Peter Byrne/PA)
Two goals from Roberto Firmino, after Ibrahima Konate's opener, were matched by strikes from Goncalo Ramos, Roman Yaremchuk and Darwin Nunez but Liverpool had enough of an advantage from the first leg to book a last-four place against Villarreal, the quarter-final conquerors of Bayern Munich.
"Very tough. They deserved to get through both games. They have real quality, probably the most successful cup competition manager in world football (Unai Emery) so he knows what he is doing," added Klopp about their semi-final opponents.
Benfica caretaker manager Nelson Verissimo was happy with the performance of his side.
"We didn't go through in the quarter-finals of an important competition but even so I think the team have to be proud of what they have done," he said.
"Liverpool happens to be one of the best, biggest teams in the world and we knew it would be a steep mountain to get to the semi-finals but we believed it was possible. There aren't any moral victories, they don't exist."

EXPLORE ON SALE ENQUIRE
South America/
From the cosmopolitan European heritage of Buenos Aires to the weathered peaks of the Andes, Argentina is brimming with beauty. A tapestry of iconic regions stretches from the sunny tropics of the north to the wild mountain ranges of the south, gateway to Antarctica. Exotic butterflies and birds fill the rainforests, while penguins and whales star in the far south. Both regions are distinctively different from the country's vast centre, where gauchos (cowboys) roam the rolling hills.
Argentina's history is as colourful and dramatic as its landscapes. A land steeped in respect for indigenous heritage, it also celebrates the marks of the Spanish explorers who arrived in the 16th century. More recently, it was home to the beautiful Evita Peron, who championed the rights of the nation's poorest. Even today, fresh flowers always surround her tomb in the ornate and historic Recoleta Cemetery in the heart of Buenos Aires.
Argentina's capital city, Buenos Aires is at once strikingly European-feeling and utterly unique. Step back in time as you take in a tango show in historic San Telmo and wander the colourful artist neighbourhood of La Boca. Explore the alleyways of Palermo and find the perfect tiny bistro for the local specialities: steak, empanadas and red wine.
Far from vibrant Buenos Aires lies Iguazu Falls, surely one of South America's most spectacular sights. More than a cubic ton of water streams over these falls every second. This thunderous waterflow feeds the surrounding subtropical rainforest, home to a vast mix of wildlife.
From here, there are countless reasons to explore further. Discover the famous wineries of Cafayate and Mendoza or the rugged wilds of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.
OUR FAVOURITE PLACES TO EXPLORE IN ARGENTINA
Buenos Aires is one of the most exciting, elegant and bustling cities in South America. Famous for its iconic tango culture, it's laced with European influences on everything from the stunning architecture to the hearty dining. The city is squarely divided into 'barrios' (neighbourhoods), each with distinctive identity. Don't miss the colourful La Boca district, or charmingly European San Telmo, home to tango. Visit the many cafés and boutiques of Recoleta and wander the laneways of hip Palermo. Nightlife is second to none and restaurants stay open late to feed locals their steaks and Malbec.
There are no other waterfalls on this planet that match the absolute magnificence, size or sheer water volumes that tumble over the astonishing Iguazu Falls. Situated near the town of Puerto Iguazu, more than 275 spectacular falls lie just east of the confluence of the Iguazu and Parana rivers. The Argentine side sits above the falls, offering great views across masses of water plunging 70 metres into the abyss below. The surrounding national park is home to 55,000 hectares of pristine subtropical rainforest with many wildlife and plant species. There is nothing quite as enchanting as waking up the sounds of the jungle, and the roar of the falls.
Salta is one of the lesser known delights of South America, drawing wine aficionados and nature lovers equally. Nestled in the foothills of the Andes, its terroir of warm days and cold nights yield unusually perfect grapes…that become award-winning wine. In Salta City, visit its iconic cathedral and take a cable car ride high above the city for spectacular views. Explore the spectacular Humahuaca Gorge, famous for the brilliant colours of its striped hills, and historic Purmamarca village for a step back in time. South of the city, the drive toward Cafayate's wineries offers sights of extraordinary red rock formations.
This has to be one of southern Argentina's most stunning places (and believe us, competition is fierce). This is one of the world's last frontier spaces, and even its main town, Ushuaia, boasts the name "The End of the World." A popular departure point for Antarctica cruises, Tierra del Fuego is all the best the region has to offer: Wild landscapes and unbreathed winds, untouched corners of wilderness flanked by glistening glacier. The expansiveness is astonishing and the hearty, rugged locals are quick to offer a joke and the freshest seafood you'll have.
Home to Los Glaciares National Park and its famous icy wonder, the massive Glacier Perito Moreno, the Santa Cruz Province is one of Argentina's wildest places. A landscape of weathered peaks, wide open plains and sparkly turquoise pools, it offers intrepid travellers incredible trekking and sight-seeing. Stay in El Calafate for warm, friendly accommodation and great local dining: You won't want to miss its fine parrillas for an iconic Argentine barbecue.
One of the world's most beautiful wine-growing regions, Mendoza is famed for Malbecs and other red wines. Its capital, Mendoza City, is a friendly town boasting plenty of boutiques, bars and restaurants to explore. Rustic roads lead to endless wineries that offer spectacular lunches and tastings at incredible value. But it's the sight of the mountains soaring over the vineyards that will steal your heart: In the distance, the majestic snow-capped peaks of the high Andes disappear into the clouds.

When this happens (I noticed it twice until now) the old time always corresponds to the time when computer entered sleep. The problem is that if Windows Media Center is scheduled for recording during this time, it just skips it as if the computer was turned off. I never had this problem running Windows Vista on the same machine.
Any ideas what could be causing this problem and how to solve it are welcome.

A: Perhaps the system's clock battery is low on power ? See if changing it helps.

Ben Barrell (14 May 1885 – 14 July 1969) was an English first-class cricketer who represented Lancashire. A right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium bowler, he played three first-class matches for the county between 1911 and 1923.

Barrell made his Lancashire debut on 19 June 1911 against an Indian representative side as part of the Indian team's tour of England and took three wickets for 10 runs. Two months later he was selected to play his first County Championship match as Lancashire recorded an innings victory against Hampshire. Barrell next played for the county almost 12 years later, making his final first-class appearance in the draw with Essex in July 1923. In this match he recorded his highest score of 25.

Aside from representing Lancashire, Barrell also played in the Minor Counties Championship for Cheshire and played club cricket for Enfield.

A dental crown is one of the most versatile dental restorations available. It is a tooth-shaped covering that gets placed on your tooth to protect it from damage or restore its size, shape, and strength after being damaged.
Phoenix cosmetic dentists Dr. LeSueur and Dr. Dodaro use all-porcelain crowns, including the new BruxZir zirconia crowns which are tooth colored and are as strong as metal, with all of their patients because these restorations consistently deliver exceptional results that are both beautiful and functional. Porcelain crowns provide you with the most natural looking result, and they are highly durable. When properly cared for, your porcelain crown can last for many years.


This is the best bathtub toy for toddlers. This cute frog is an electronic water fountain that works automatically. When you lay the frog on his back, water squirts up like a fountain. Plus this comes with 3 little cups that nest together inside of the frogs belly. You little one can fill the cups with water, or stack them into a tall tower, or simply nest them. My favorite part is the fact that this bath toy is interactive. When you child presses on his tummy the frog plays music and says a few cute phrases.

The SL42 rim took over a year to develop and owes its stiffness and aerodynamics to the 42mm profile height. The SL42 has a weight of 615±15 grams using the G609 aluminium alloy which is also 30 percent stronger than the 6061 aluminium alloy used in standard rim manufacture. SL42 features a machined side wall for use with rim brakes.
As a 100+kg rider it is difficult not to destroy wheels especially when going full power. Normal fabricated wheels, Mavic, Easton, Fulcrum would last for around a year before they became untrue and the first spokes would snap. The H plus Son SL 42 build by Zoran are serving me already for 5 years now and they are still perfectly straight. If you look for a strong durable set of wheels you just found them.

Q: The problem is opening the biometric data or password entry mode when you click on the button from the notification I use react-native-music-control, but I am sure that this is not particularly important for the solution. Just in case, the link https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-music-control. There was a task to create a button to close the application via a notification with a modal request window for the user to receive a sub-notification to close. For the simplicity of the solution, since there is no need to use the "next" button in the notification, I decided to use it as the basis for the solution. When you click on it, an event is triggered, which I process with this code in MusicControlReceiver.java:
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
  if(MusicControlNotification.MEDIA_BUTTON.equals(action) ||
    Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON.equals(action)) {

      if(!intent.hasExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT)) return;
      if(!checkApp(intent)) return;

      Intent openApp = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
      PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, openApp, 0);

      KeyEvent ke = intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT);
      if (ke.getKeyCode() == 87) {
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, openApp, 0);
        try {
          pendingIntent.send();
        } catch (PendingIntent.CanceledException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
      }
      // To close the notification bar:
      Intent closeDialogs = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS);
      context.sendBroadcast(closeDialogs);

      module.session.getController().dispatchMediaButtonEvent(ke);
  }
}

Everything works fine, my app comes to the foreground, closes the notification bar. In react native, I get an event and process it. But the problem is that if the device is locked, then when you click on the close button in the notification, the unlock window does not appear, as it would be with builder.setContentIntent(PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, openApp, 0));. But at the same time, everything you need in the background works out everything. How do I get this screen unlock mode to open?
Пробовал:
Intent openApp = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
openApp.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
context.startActivity(openApp);

I've been trying to get it to open for two weeks now, I've studied a lot of code, but nothing makes the unlock mode open. In android development for two weeks :) Maybe there is something in react native to handle the received event. I can't find anything in the solution there either.
