They had an hour together on the flight, and so he asked her to teach him fifty words in French. He'd always wanted to learn a dead language.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know any French," she said. He studied her. She was telling the truth. He had confused her with the strawberry blonde from the gate, the one with the black-rimmed reading glasses and silver toenails peeking from open sandals, the one who kept glancing over her shoulder.
"Maybe not French, then. Some other language." He leaned closer, explaining: "You're not from here. Your accent."
They had settled into their seats, as much as one ever could in this environment. He adjusted the air vent so that it blew right into his hair, and then he played with the overhead reading light, turning it on, off, on, leaving it off in the end. She was staring ahead, but her lips flirted with a smile.
"You're right, I'm not from these parts," she said.
"Ah." He was hoping the single syllabic confirmation would buy him enough time to produce an intelligent guess as to her place of origin, but it didn't, so he didn't.
"I have to warn you," she said. "This isn't going to pan out the way you want it to."
"I'm married too," he protested, but it sounded feeble.
A steward appeared from behind a beige curtain at the front of the plane. She reviewed safety procedures, mimicking horrendous circumstances with levity, wittily imparting her script, snapping clips into place, illustrating how to buckle a seat belt. Neither of them were paying attention. They didn't know where the emergency exits were. They didn't care. They hadn't figured out how they would disentangle themselves from what they had started here. One way or another, getting off the plane would prove tricky—especially for him. The steward's eyes twinkled and she was gone.
"Is Provençal a dialect of French?" he asked her. The engine was roaring to life. They were speeding up the runway. The Captain was mumbling something on the speakers. "I've always been confused on that point," he added.
"Provençal is a form of Occitan. We're lucky," she said. She seemed to be reminiscing. "We have so many dead languages to choose from."
"One of my great-grandmothers was born in Catalonia. What they speak over there is descended from Occitan."
"It's all ultimately Indo-European, isn't it?"
"Not all of it," she said, and chuckled. "My native tongue certainly isn't."
"So was there anyone you had your eyes on, back at the gate?"
"He speaks vector," she said.
"We're being propelled along by his grammar right now. No denying it."
"I wouldn't want to deny anything you say."
"That charm again," she said, scrunching her face.
"I have to admit, I didn't even see you before we boarded."
"With good reason. Let's be honest for a moment. We both know I wasn't at the gate."
He reclined in his chair.
"You weren't," he agreed. He sighed. "But I was."
"Are you sure you don't have any words to teach me?"
"Hmmm," she said. "I might."
"I can still learn a good deal. We have about forty-five minutes left."
"Way to spoil the mood."
"Our time together is the mood."
"Give me a minute of silence and I'll pull a few words out for you," she said.
He tried not to smile but it was too much effort.
"Here's one," she said, and began.
"That was fantastic. You gave me living languages. I didn't realize that was possible."
"Like you, in a way, but better looking. Do you have any sisters?"
"They always seem to pick ones with siblings for these flights," she observed. "Must be part of the reason you were selected. I don't mind that. We don't have siblings where I come from."
"I'm glad you don't object," he said.
"The connection leads to more connection."
"Yes. Clever of you, to sneak that in like that. They don't seem to notice."
"They're busy. They're like the Captain. Start one place, end up somewhere else. The in-between doesn't exist for them."
The seat belt light indicator turned off. He unbuckled it and rose.
"Need to stretch my legs," he said.
He strode through the empty airplane, whistling a tune. He inspected the vacant seats, looking for traces of expression, small artefacts that would reveal the semantics under investigation.
"Not much to see," he reported, sitting back down beside her. "Maybe they didn't remember I'd be here."
"They used to be more imaginative. Attentive to detail. Now it's just outlines."
"Can I confess something? This is my first flight."
"You're doing very well," she said, and reached out her hand.
He took it, his fingers knowing no shame or hesitation.
"Thank you," he said. He grew heated. His vision sharpened and blurred at the same time. The heat drowned him. He wanted so much, he was willing to give up everything. He was on the verge of tears. "You've been extremely kind."
"I can't ask of others what I'm not willing to give of myself," she said. She returned to living languages. He was dazzled. It took a moment for his mind to stop spinning. His thoughts orbited the newness, the possibilities, without ever collapsing in. He was safe at a distance, but it was a relative safety, for he couldn't escape.
"What if we imagined that all that emotion hadn't gone out of fashion? Take French, for instance."
"You're easy to talk to."
"We still have twenty minutes. Is there anything else you'd like to tell me?"
"I'd like to know how to change," he said.
"Change is a dead language, I'm afraid. Like passion."
"You have. Now give it back."
"Very easy to talk to," he said. "Now ask me."
She was thoughtful. "Have you ever considered taking the trip again, as soon as it's over?"
He closed his eyes. "That's permitted?" He opened them.
"Most passengers would think it was too much work. Sitting at the terminal for an hour again, waiting to get back to where they came from. A waste of time."
"You've done it, haven't you?"
She nodded, eager. "Only once before. I ended up marrying him."
"He's in the present. Just not the future. You want to know if there's any way of extending the flight, don't you?"
"Yes," he said. He gripped the armrest, squeezed it. His knuckles were white. "Very much so. Please."
"We could land again," she said.
"That would seem to defeat the purpose."
"Flights landed once upon a time," she said. "They would take off in one place and arrive somewhere else. They were safe things. They were about displacement without movement."
"I think I like ours better."
"Let's turn this around. You explain things to me."
"I don't think there's much to explain." He looked embarrassed. "I'm married. I was going somewhere, then changed my mind. One day I just decided to board. Isn't that how it usually goes?"
"It's different for everyone, yet always the same. You seem warm, kind-hearted, generous. Does that make you lonely?"
"Can you imagine a different world?"
Petals of excitement blossomed in her hydrangea pupils, like a flower within a flower.
"What would it take to make it real?"
"We have ten minutes to figure that out," she said.
"There was a story I read when I was a young man." He held his head in his hands, then released it. "It was about a young man that wasn't me. He went up a mountain and stayed there a long time. He may still be there. We're flying to that same place, aren't we?"
Sadness crept into his face.
"I've been there all along," she said. "Closer to you, farther from you, but always in that place."
"I know. But I wanted you to pretend. Us to pretend."
"I did too," she said, and her eyes acknowledged the loss. Her expression mirrored his, so that he wasn't sure who owned the original. "But I didn't want to waste more time."
He massaged his temple. "Have we been gaining altitude? I can feel the pressure."
"No," she said. "We stay at the same altitude all the way. There's no higher place."
"I could swear my ears just popped."
"The body is a dead language, remember?"
He nodded. He was ready now.
He extended both hands. She didn't take them.
His eyelids decided to fight him. "I'm so tired," he said. "I wish I weren't."
"Rest seems disastrous right now. But maybe I will anyway. Just for a few moments."
He descended into a living dream woven out of seashells, collations of experience with smooth carapaces and shiny surfaces. He slipped into the shells, listened to the echoes of the sea he had visited with his sisters. He was attentive but learned little. Fading sounds. He slipped into a reverse image of the dream. He dreamed of speaking with the captain, of making him disappear. In his place he'd want her, the not-strawberry-blonde who didn't know French and was willing to share a flight with him for one hour. With that he came back to her, more awake than he'd been since before take-off.
"You seem restored," she said. She reached out and ran her fingers through his hair, circled his ear lobe, caressed the nape of his neck.
"Passion is a dead language," he remembered. "Can I talk to the captain?"
"Of course not," she said.
He chortled. "Have you ever requested it?"
"Yes. I found out that to speak with the captain you must become the captain. It never seemed worth it to me."
He swallowed. Not much of anything remained now, with no part of everything and a little bit of nothing.
"Can you imagine a different world?" he asked.
"You said something right at the start," he said. He was sitting very still now.
"You said, 'This isn't going to pan out the way you want it to.'"
"The strawberry blonde was your wife, wasn't she?" she asked.
Dimples formed in his cheeks and receded slightly; it was enough; he was retreating into a smile, or maybe advancing beyond it.
"Yes. She was glancing back at me. I miss her. We were both nervous."
"Did you really think I was her?"
"I wanted you to be her," he said. "I wanted her to have tricked me. I wanted to be fooled."
"Almost," he said. "I'll see her again."
"Please don't speak that way."
"I need to say it. I'll see her again."
"Have you considered that from where we're sitting now the future itself may be a dead language?"
The seat belt light came back on. It was quiet in the plane. He couldn't hear the engine. He was alone. He listened hard. He couldn't hear his own breathing. He thought of something to say, but the structures failed him. The wings had disintegrated; the turbine engines had spun themselves into nowhere; the fuselage was holding nothing together. He was the only trace of syntax left, and he was about to become a living language, one that others would be able to speak. There was no need to worry about making it real. They would do it for him. She had shown him how.

Since I wrote about how to choose a Bible for journaling, the choices for finding the best Bible for creative journaling art has totally exploded!
There are so many choices that you could easily be overwhelmed but if you follow my suggestions it will help narrow down your search.
Searching for a new Bible is exciting and especially when you are looking for a creative journaling Bible.
Before beginning your search, you might want to pray that God will help you in finding the right Bible.
There are many choices and making a decision on which one is best for you can be daunting at best.
Read everything you can in the description of the Bible and use a ruler to help you visualize the actual size.
I bought a Bible that turned out to be much larger than expected and another that was much smaller than I thought!
What Translation Do You Want to Choose?
There are many different Bibles available and they have been translated in order for us to read them in English. I won't go into the process used in translating them from the original texts as I will leave that for scholars.
I will do is go over a few of the most popular translations that I am somewhat familiar with in order to help you choose. You might already know your preference.
I can't tell you which one is best for you. You can look up passages or verses over at BibleGateway.com and select different versions to see which is your preference.
The KJV is the first version of Scripture authorized by the Protestant church and commissioned by England's King James I.
Most journaling Bibles have an extra wide margin that provides two inches of space for artwork or notetaking. Some people do not feel they have an artistic bone in their bodies and would rather just use the space for notes.
You will notice as you search for a Bible that some have two columns and others in one column. My favorites are Bibles with one column because there often more is more free space for art.
Personally, I'd rather not paint or color over the Words.
For those who would love to be artistic but lack the confidence or ability to create their own picture outline, there are Bibles with many pre-drawn outlined pictures that you can color within the lines. These Bibles still have many blank margins for you to create or use stickers or stamps for decoration as you spend time with God.
If you'd like even more space for your art, the Interleaved Bible might be the one you would choose. There is a blank page inserted between each page of the Bible to give room for your artwork.
After you have made all the preliminary considerations including the translation, I would suggest you go to Amazon or whichever store you would prefer.
By going through any of my links, you will be helping to support His Unmeasured Grace even if you end up purchasing something besides a Bible!
So let's say you choose Amazon, once there, type in "JOURNALING BIBLE" and the translation on the same line. For instance: Journaling Bible KJV.
What it will do is bring up a list of journaling Bibles that they carry for that translation. I will highlight a few of my favorite Bible but there are sure to be others that are wonderful too!
Remember that this list is not exhaustive!
I am only going to choose a few. You can click on the picture of the Bible and it will take you to my affiliate link on Amazon.
This is a beautiful imitation leather Bible that I gave as a gift last Christmas. I have one that is similar and am very happy with it. There is such a large space for artwork that it really makes it fun!
The Personal Reflections KJV Bible is a refreshingly beautiful way to interact with and meditate on God's living and active Word. This oversized Bible printed on high-quality paper offers ample wide-margin white space on the outside of each page of scripture.
This is a beautiful Bible that I would love to add to my collection! It comes in a couple of designs for you to choose from.
The KJV Journal the Word™ Bible allows you to creatively express yourself every day with plenty of room for notes or verse art journaling next to your treasured verses. With unique and sophisticated covers, this single-column edition features thick cream-colored paper with lightly ruled lines in the extra-wide margins, perfect to reflect on God's Word and enhance your study.
I have this Bible and LOVE. LOVE. LOVE it! It comes in other cover designs that might become your favorite!
The NKJV Journal the Word™ Bible allows you to express yourself creatively every day with plenty of room for notes or verse art journaling next to your treasured verses. With a selection of unique and sophisticated covers, this single-column edition features thick, cream-colored paper with lightly ruled lines in the extra-wide margins, perfect to reflect on God's Word and enhance your study.
Maybe you have a daughter or granddaughter who might love to do creative journaling with you! This is such a beautiful Bible!
My Creative Bible for Girls is an illustrated journaling Bible, wonderfully designed to help young girls to grow closer to God through art and creativity. Inspire a girl in your life to let the light of the Lord shine in her life with uplifting stories and beautiful artwork. This girl's Bible uses the ESV (English Standard Version) Bible translation and the text is formatted in a single-column. My Creative Bible for Girls will become a beloved treasure in the life of any young girl. The princess design and iridescent accents give this Bible a magnificent finishing touch.
This is a beautiful journaling Bible with a flexible leather-like cover that you will just love. It is a little smaller than many of the other journaling Bibles and so it is much more portable for taking to church.
This is the Bible that I have shown in a couple of my videos.
This is a beautiful journaling Bible that I gave as a gift last Christmas. I can't say enough good things about it!
This should really help you as you choose your journaling Bible!
Let me know how it goes by leaving a comment below! Or if you already do creative Bible journaling, what is your favorite one?

The story of Elyse and Ryan, tuscan wedding at Castello di Magona
The story of Elyse and Ryan, tuscan wedding at Castello di Magona is something I want to write for the future couples.
They are a really funny and incredible couple. It was a pleasure for me to capture this amazing wedding in Tuscany. As tuscan wedding photographer I have the chance to shoot a lot of wedding in tuscany every season, but this couple was really unique! Specially Ryan, that he was like an actor! I usually meet a lot of groom and they really nervous before the ceremony. Ryan was joking in every moment! But I want to show this story from their point of view.
The backstory of why we wanted to get married in Tuscany is because why not? Ryan had been married once before (as you learned during the ceremony) and I was a guest at his wedding in Philadelphia. When he and I started talking about where we should get married, we thought New York was too expensive so immediately threw that out. I'm from San Diego but I haven't lived there in 18 years so it isn't that special to me plus only my parents live there so everyone would have to travel.
We couldn't get married in Philadelphia because then it would be like his first wedding all over again. There was no where else in the US that was special to us so we thought about getting married abroad. We spent 2 weeks in Tuscany the summer of 2016 and loved it. We wanted a fall wedding in a warm place and with the Zika virus being a threat mostly everywhere else, we started looking into Tuscany. We wanted to find a beautiful venue so that we didn't have to do much decorating and wine is very important to us so we knew we'd be covered there. It all worked out from there. For sure The story of Elyse and Ryan, tuscan wedding at Castello di Magona will remaing one of my favour wedding of the season.

"Hot deformation and recrystallization of austenitic stainless steel. P" by A Dehghan-Manshadi, Mathew R. Barnett et al.
Dehghan-Manshadi, A., Barnett, M. R. & Hodgson, P. D. (2008). Hot deformation and recrystallization of austenitic stainless steel. Part II: post-deformation recrystallization. Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A - Physical Metallurgy and Materials Science, 39A (6), 1371-1381.
The postdeformation recrystallization behavior of a hot-deformed austenitic stainless steel was investigated based on the first part of this study, in which the microstructure development during hot deformation and, in particular, the evolution of dynamic recrystallization (DRX), was studied. The effect of different parameters such as strain, strain rate, and temperature were examined. The dependency of the time for 50 pct softening, t 50, changed from "strain dependent" to "strain independent" at a transition strain (ε*) that was in the steady-state area of the hot deformation flow curve. The fully recrystallized microstructure showed a similar transition in strain sensitivity. However, this occurred at stains greater than ε*. A mathematical model was developed to predict the transition strain under different deformation conditions. Microstructural measurements show that the transition strain corresponds to approximately 50 pct DRX in the deformed structure at the point of unloading.

UNC Kenan Flagler Launches Online Master of Accounting Program
FIND MBA, Jul 08, 2014
The 15-month program includes a 3-month long internship
The University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School will launch an online version of the school's Master of Accounting program.
Where the in-class program is 12 months long, the new online format is 15 months long. The program will mix online classes with some face-to-face immersion in Chapel Hill; a three-month long internship is also required.
The online version of the program will feature the same curriculum as the in-class format. Core curriculum includes classes ranging from the highly quantitative – "Financial Reporting," and "Cost Accounting" – to courses that help students develop their soft skills – "Personal Communication," and "Leadership, Ethics & Professionalism."
UNC sees the new online program as a way to meet workplace demand for more Master of Accounting graduates. "Historically, firms have wanted to hire more of our graduates, but space constraints prevented us from increasing the program's size," says Kenan-Flagler's dean Douglas A. Shackelford. "Technology now lets us increase access to a UNC education for even more talented people and meet the demand from companies who want to hire them."
To expand their offerings, some American business schools have, over the last few years, started to deliver master's-level business courses in online formats. Last year, for instance, Georgetown's McDonough School of Business launched an online Master of Science in Finance; just this year, online MBA programs were announced by New Mexico State University, Louisiana Tech University, and Baylor University.
Although admissions requirements have not been announced for UNC's new online Master of Accounting program, the in-class version does not require work experience, but applicants need to take either the GMAT or the GRE. UNC encourages liberal arts majors to apply. The program is set to launch in July 2015.
For more information, please see the UNC Kenan-Flagler press release announcing the launch of the online Master of Accounting program.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Let's talk about sex Erectile dysfunction Premature ejaculation Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Does an enlarged prostate have an influence on sexual activity?
It could. It could cause erectile dysfunction or ejaculation problems. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is characterized as an excessive growth of the prostate which then pushes on the urethra. Those who suffer from this often experience problems when urinating and have to turn to the help of medicine.
But some drugs can have side effects that affect one's sexual life. 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and alpha-lytics are two pharmaceutical categories which are often used in the treatment of BPH. The former, however, can decrease sexual desire and interfere with the ability to maintain an erection. While the latter make ejaculation more difficult.
Another well-worn road to cure BPH is minimally invasive surgery performed by use of a stent and heat or laser treatments. This process can also result in erectile dysfunction or retrograde ejaculation (when the seminal fluid ends up in the bladder rather than coming out of the penis). This disorder is also one of the possible side effects of a transurethral resection of the prostate, an operation in which the internal portion of the prostate is removed.
The transurethral incision of the prostate, which involves the enlargement of the urethra, is another procedure used to treat BPH, though it can cause erectile dysfunction. As can be seen, it is important for patients with BPH to be followed by a urologist cho can offer proper advice about the best treatments for their condition while also considering possible side effects that can interfere with sexual activity.
These side effects can then been corrected through therapy adjustment or with the prescription of specific drugs that can improve sexual function.

What to eat (and not eat) with an enlarged prostate
HOW TO RECOGNIZE IT
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostatic adenoma, is a disease that occurs with an increase in prostate volume, mainly due to an increase in the number of cells in this gland.
Therapies can be administered when worsening symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy impact on the patient's quality of life. These can be pharmacological or, in the most serious cases, even surgical, using very innovative techniques. The support of a doctor is essential during the evolution of the condition, to suggest the best course to follow and identify a treatment that is both efficacious and acceptable to the patient. The most important step is the first visit to the urology clinic to assess the primary situation and degree of disease advancement.
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) include difficulty initiating urination accompanied by a sense of urgency, incomplete bladder emptying, straining during urination, need to urinate frequently, burn and urine leakage even after finishing to urinate.

Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game Second Edition
It's hard to believe (especially today) that there was a time after the original trilogy when Star Wars wasn't everywhere. After Return of the Jedi left theaters, it appeared the story of the Skywalker family was complete, and everyone moved on. Except fans couldn't. People still wanted to be part of the universe that George Lucas created, and in 1987, West End Games gave them the chance.
Now, the Star Wars Roleplaying Game predated my fandom by almost a decade, but I can only imagine how welcome this game was for fans craving more Star Wars lore and adventures. I recently acquired a Second Edition handbook (from 1992), and it's been a blast to flip through.

Was Moondog a vegetarian?
One of my agents has pointed me to this song by Moondog: Enough about human rights (03:37 min; see the lyrics below).
Moondog (1916-1999) was an American, blind, avant garde musician and composer extraordinaire, originally called Louis Thomas Hardin, and also known as the Viking of Sixth Avenue (referring to the corner of 53rd/54th and 6th Avenue, Manhattan, New York City, in the 1960s), ... also known as "the ultimate counter culture figure".
I'm not really too familiar with his work, but a blind eccentric poet writing about non-human animals' rights could almost remind one of Al-Maarri. However, I couldn't find any reference to Moondog having been a vegetarian or vegan.
His biography, written by Robert Scotto, mentions the following, referring to the years 1943 to 1953 in New York City: "[...] eating in was usually confined to porridge in the morning. His diet when he dined out consisted mainly of raw vegetables, fruit, and black bread."
Regarding the years 1960 to 1969 the book states: "His stews became famous (fresh meat and vegetables only), his strong coffee (brewed by boiling water in a can with the beans) a necessity everywhere he went. [...]
[...] he roasted a large turkey, with stuffing and vegetables. [...]
He hunted (with an arrow tied by string to the bow) and fished."
Regarding his time before moving to Germany (so, around mid-1970s) the book states: "Another uncomfortable thing about living with Moondog was that he didn't pick up after himself or know how or bother to throw out the trash, so I spent some time cleaning up the fast food he brought to his room, like empty boxes from Dunkin' Donuts and half-eaten bones from Kentucky Fried Chicken."
... And regarding the years 1986 to 1999 (Germany): "Moondog had always enjoyed robust health and an even more robust appetite, despite his risk-taking. In 1986, though, he learned that he had diabetes and would have to be less casual about his diet. No more cupcake at midday! He underestimated the seriousness of his condition, which led to his decline and death. But energy drove him, not ego; it was not in his flight plan to land yet. He rarely cancelled engagements, even when travel became harder on him. His first reaction to the news was to cut his sugar intake (even in his beloved coffee) and get to work. [...]
[...] what others called his odd habits: his sewing, plowing, hunting, writing."
The book also states that his 1992 album "Elpmas" contains "animal rights protest", and that he has written "a couple [of songs] on animal rights ("Pigmy [Pig]," "Enough about Human Rights," "Aska Me")" - all of which are on the album "H'art songs". However, "Aska me" and "Pigmy pig" do not contain any lyrics that I would file under animal rights.
"Pigmy pig" does contain the following more or less cryptic lyrics:
"All you herbivorians, reapers to adore,
if the only food were meat, you would eat no more.
All you carnivorians, butchers to adore,
if the only food were plant, you would eat no more.
All you omnivorians, waging total war,
if the only food were none, you would eat no more.
All the pigmy edibles wish you pigmies well:
'Eat your way to heaven, or eat your way to hell!'"
Anyway, below are the lyrics to Moondog's song "Enough about human rights". This song was originally published in Germany in 1978 on the album "H'art songs". The song is almost entirely about different animals' rights except that he kind of ruins the song by adding the idea of "germ rights" and "plant rights". The lyrics that you can find online seem to slightly differ from what he actually sings. I don't know if printed lyrics were included in the original "H'art songs" LP.

Moodog moved to New York City from the American Midwest in the early 1943, i.e. during World War 2. In 1972 he moved from New York City to Candor, New York State (where he had a country house). In 1974 Moondog moved from the United States to Germany.
Much of his time in Germany he lived in the town of Münster, Northwest Germany, where he died in 1999 (according to Wikipedia, from heart failure). He is buried at the Zentralfriedhof (central cemetary) and at his grave there is a sculpture made after Moondog's death mask (see below). However, he is not currently listed as one of the "famous people" buried at the cemetary on the cemetary's website (2 Aug 2020).
I once was at that cemetary, looking for his grave, unprepared, and it was pissing down as the English say, and I didn't find the grave. I'll probably have another look soon. [See below]
According to Wikipedia, Moondog had adopted this name in 1947 in honour of a dog "who used to howl at the moon more than any dog I knew of". [The reference given is: Colin Larkin, ed. (1997). The Virgin Encyclopedia of Popular Music (Concise ed.). Virgin Books. pp. 869–870. ISBN 1-85227-745-9.]
Update 7 September 2020:
Moondog's grave is in the NEW section of the cemetary (Zentralfriedhof Münster). If you enter through the main gate, keep walking straight until you pass through another gate (no actual gate but two pillars). Then keep walking straight. At the very end you'll see Moodog.
Note that the cemetary's opening hours are a bit annoying and it's closed on weekends.

I'm trying to figure out how to get my Thunderbird to use Maildir instead of Mbox so my backups are less data intensive.
Then I changed "mail.serverDefaultStoreContractID" from "@mozilla.org/msgstore/berkeleystore;1" to "@mozilla.org/msgstore/maildirstore;1".
Today Apache complained about SSLCertificateChainFile being deprecated and it told me to use SSLCertificateFile instead.

An excavation has taken place in attempt to recover some ancient steps in Pittville Park that are around 200 years old.
It was a big day for Friends of Pittville volunteers, who were hoping to solve the mystery of what happened to the stone steps that once graced the path outside Pittville Pump Rooms.
The steps in question, thought to have been built in the 1820s, used to be located at the top of the central path from the Pump Room down to the lake.
An excavation took place today, which saw around 12 people take to the area with tools to begin the dig.
They were supervised by an experienced archaeologist from Gloucestershire Archaeology.
First the team took the turf off, then removed the soil and started digging carefully.
Although the steps were not discovered, it was not a wasted project.
The excavation was part of the first stages of a potential project to improve the area around the Pump Room. They hope that by knowing more about the original structure, this will help when designing and planning the project.
The steps in question, of which there were four, were made of Forest stone, and were around 11 metres wide.
Judie said she believes that the steps would have been removed many years ago, and used elsewhere in Cheltenham.
And she said that that although it would have been good to see the original steps, the team came away feeling happy.
Mayor Chris Ryder even attended the dig, armed with a cake for the team to enjoy.
After they were finished with the excavation, they put the soil back again.
Judie said that the next step is for Friends of Pittville to commission somebody to do some designs for the area.


Hello! It's Mindi again from MyLove2Create. I am happy to be back sharing a cool project, and as far as building goes this one is really simple. A DIY tray stand and old toolbox make a fun statement piece, and it is useful too!
I obviously have a thing for cool old metal boxes, as you can see in my first Metal box Makeover. So when I saw this one at the Restore for only $3 it had to come home with me, plus it was orange, I have a few orange lovers in my home.
I started with my old toolbox and set it on a scrap piece of plywood. After I traced around the box onto the plywood I cut it out with my circular saw. Then with the scrap 1×2's I had collected I cut them to fit around the plywood. I used gorilla wood and nailed the short ends first and then finished off with the long ends. One tray all built!
Perfect fit! You can see I added a picture of the price tag, proof of my score.
Of course I wasn't a fan of the ugly sticker on the top, but I knew I could take care of that. I used equal parts (maybe…I didn't actually measure) of baking soda and vegetable oil and mixed them up. First, I spread it over the entire sticker and let it sit for at least 10 minutes, for me it was more like 30 because I got busy and forgot. Then I scrubbed in a circular motion with a metal scraper and removed the top layer. There was a thin layer left, so I spread more stuff on and let it sit for 10 min again. After scrubbing this time it all came off! I cleaned the whole box with a soapy rag, wiped it with a clean rag, and dried it.
While the sticker on the box was "soaking" I went out to the shed to make another tray the exact same size. I also grabbed some scrap 1×2's from my Master Closet Makeover to use for supports between the trays, thus making it a DIY tray stand.
I cut them to 13 inches each and drilled pocket holes with a Kreg Jig into each end. Then I started attaching them to the bottom tray. For the first one I used my right angle clamp, but found I didn't need it for the rest.
These babies were a $1 at the Restore, for all four. I got them a few years ago before the new manager took over and raised the prices…man I miss the good old days. Anyway, they don't look like much because they are covered with a thick ugly brown, something… Easily taken care of with a sander.
I sanded the legs first with 60 grit and then finished with 100 to make them nice and smooth, who would cover up that pretty wood?! Here you can see I am trying out how I want to attach them to the bottom tray. I had the leg mounting plates from when I turned an end table into a desk. They're awesome because you have the option to screw the legs in straight or at an angle. I used the angle because it is more fun.
I also filled in the nail and pocket holes with spackle. After sanding it was ready for paint and stain.
I used wood conditioner and Rust-oleum Kona (surprise, surprise) on the trays and legs. After I stained the tray bottoms I noticed that I hadn't sanded off all the glue that was on the plywood so I had some splotches, I will have to see how to fix that… I was happy with the legs though.
I taped off the tray bottoms and painted the rest with my left over can of Heirloom white I had used on my Entry Table made from Reclaimed Lumber.
Then, I decided to cover up the glue splotches with stripes!
After some poly, I attached the legs and my tray stand was done. I was loving it! Nothing left to do, but add the old toolbox!
I put in the old tool box, now nice and clean, it is a great burst of color when you walk in my front door, ahh happiness.
Not a trace of sticker left on the top. I decided to keep the rustic look of the toolbox instead of spray painting it, but it would be easy to do if I changed my mind.
I am sure I will figure out something to hide in there. If I now my kids, they will take it over if I don't do it quick!
And if I decide I don't want to use the tool box? It is a very cute DIY Tray Stand on it's own! Can you imagine all the uses for this?
Of course a shot of those great legs, they look SO much better.
Amazing what a metal box can inspire isn't it!
So, do you have any old tool boxes laying around? They just might need some TLC to make a great statement in your home!
Love this funky table for this box!
The orange box is way cool too… I love orange! totally unique, good score on the box and the wood too.
Oh, the best idea? baking soda and vegetable oil? Who knew? that's a new one on me… I'm going to try it next chance I get!
Another dynamite project! I was curious if you ever use lighter fluid for removing stickers? We have found it to be the most effortless way to remove stickers, price tags or any sort of gummy residue they may leave.

EP 176: The Evolving Role of Forensic Nursing With Debra Holbrook
by Cup Of Nurses | Aug 12, 2022 | Podcast
The Evolving Role of Forensic Nursing With Debra Holbrook
The evolving role of forensic nursing has changed over the years. What is forensic nursing? Perhaps you've heard about it and are interested in working as one. But what is it? A forensic nurse is a Registered or Advanced Practice Nurse with specific training and education.
They specialize in caring for patients who experienced acute and long-term health issues related to victimization or violence and have unmet evidentiary needs relative to having been victimized or accused of victimization.
In addition to these skills, forensic nurses also provide testimony and consultation for civil or criminal proceedings. It concerns nursing practice, the care given to the patient, and their opinion regarding these findings.
Forensic nursing care is not separate and distinct from other forms of medical care but rather integrated into the overall care needs of individual patients.
We would like to introduce you to Debra S. Holbrook in this episode. Debra is currently the Director of Forensic Nursing at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, coordinating care for interpersonal violence victims for all Baltimore City hospitals. She is the President-Elect of the Academy of Forensic Nursing.
She has testified before a Senate Judicial Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs on behalf of a new law known as the DNA Justice Act. Debra also published the first research linking ALS to latent injury in strangulation.
Changes in forensic nursing over the years, what forensic nursing is, and how alternative light source technology has changed the forensic sphere.
Debra, can you give a little background about how you got into forensic nursing?
You're one of the leaders in the forensic nursing space. Was there a specific event in your life that pushed you to be a pioneer and an advocate for change in the forensic sphere?
We don't remember any forensic nursing-related material from nursing school. We don't even think we were given any info in the first place. If you were to ask us how to gather DNA or even the basic process of what to do when a victim presents in the hospital, we'd have no idea.
How/when did you realize there needs to be a change in how we help victims?
What bothered you in the healthcare system, where was it flawed?
Where do you think we could still improve? Where are we still lacking in helping the victim or the flaws in this giant healthcare system?
We spoke to a SANE nurse before, and one of the major issues in forensic nursing is the lack of resources and funding.
Some people get scarred for life and have the trauma for the rest of their lives. Does the current system help them through these times, or is it a one-and-done approach, and then the victim has to seek further care?
You testified on capitol hill before a senate judicial committee on crime and drugs on behalf of a bill signed in 2005 as the DNA Justice Act. Can you walk us through how you came up with the bill and how you got to the point of presenting it and getting it signed into law?
https://www.congress.gov/bill/108th-congress/senate-bill/152/text
You published the first research linking alternative light source technology to latent injury. How does alternate light source technology assist in identifying injury?
What is a project you are currently working on or a problem you are looking to solve?
If you are a victim of abuse or assault or need someone to talk to about what you are going through, download the bmoresafe app. This app helps address the needs of patients in the Baltimore area and provides resources for sexual or domestic assault victims. You can download this app for free through PlayStore.

Electricity and Magnetism: What Are They & Why Are They Important?
How to Read a Geiger Counter

How to Use a Geiger Counter
By Allan Robinson
A Geiger counter detects ionizing radiation such as beta and gamma particles, and some models also detect alpha particles. The primary component of the Geiger counter is a tube filled with a gas that conducts electricity when struck by radiation. This allows the gas to complete an electrical circuit. This typically includes moving a needle and making an audible sound. Geiger counters can measure radiation in a variety of units, depending on the application.
Set a small, known radioactive source, such as a "button" source about a foot from the open end of the Geiger counter's detector tube.
Turn the Geiger counter on. If it is a battery-powered model, it may have a battery test function you can engage by turning a knob or pushing a button. Check the battery's condition and replace it if it is weak.
Adjust the counter by turning the sensitivity knob until the needle points in the main part of the scale. If the radioactivity is strong, the counter will read off-scale; if too weak, it will display a number too small to read accurately. Digital models might have a sensitivity knob also, or they might adjust themselves automatically.
Turn the counter's speaker on if it has one and listen to the clicks. Light radiation causes the counter to click every few seconds; this is completely normal and safe. Stronger radiation makes the counter click more rapidly. A steady, static-like buzz means the clicks occur faster than 20 times per second, indicating strong radiation. The counter may also have an "overload" light that signals the radiation is too strong for the scale to which you have it set; if it has this feature, adjust the sensitivity until the light turns off.
Familiarize yourself with the units the Geiger counter uses to measure radiation. For example, the REM, or Roentgen Equivalent in Man, is an older unit that measures the effect of radiation on living tissue. Vintage detectors measure in terms of millirems per hour. The more modern unit, the sievert, also measures radiation's effect on tissue, taking into account that organs such as the eyes are more sensitive to radiation than other parts of the body. The detector may have a switch that lets you choose between different units.
Read the visual readout, if there is one. Geiger counters that have meter readouts in CPM, that is, Counts or Clicks per Minute, mimic the audible clicks in visual form. CPM is the unit normally used to measure Alpha and Beta radiation.
The maximum recommended dosage of radiation is 5,000 mR/year for radiation workers in the United States and 200 mR/year for non-workers. Do not remain near strong radiation sources for prolonged periods. Severe exposure can result in sunburn-like skin lesions, hair loss and other serious consequences. Consult an expert if you have any questions about particular radioactive substances or radiation sources.

Plaintiff is seeking judgment in the amount of $150.000, attorney's fees, and other relief the Court deems appropriate.
In 2010, Plaintiff completed a 9-foot tall sculpture named Trinity, meant to symbolize the Holy Trinity in Christianity. The sculpture contains steel beams and a combination of gold and silver paint. The sculpture was sponsored by the city of Seymour, as part of an initiative to enhance various spots around town with artwork.
Trinity was loaned to the city and then displayed at an intersection in town, until a member of the Department of Public Works requested it be removed. The sculpture was removed and stored in a garage, where Plaintiff eventually found it laying on its side in the gravel. According to the complaint, the sculpture was damaged all over with scratches and gouges in the steel and bent parts.
Plaintiff alleges that the city's damaging of the sculpture violates VARA. He has requested statutory damages under VARA as well as other relief.
The City of Seymour can be expected to assert the defense of sovereign immunity to this lawsuit. Sovereign immunity, as a general rule, bars lawsuits against states governmental entities. Sovereign immunity may be waived by a state for a particular type of lawsuit. The federal government may also abrogate states' sovereign immunity with respect to certain types of claims.
On the surface, this language appears to constitute an abrogation of states' sovereign immunity regarding copyright infringement. However, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that "Congress may not abrogate state sovereign immunity pursuant to its Article I powers." Florida Prepaid Postsecondary Educ. Expense Bd. v. College Sav. Bank, 527 U.S 627, 636 (1999).
However, it appears that the Copyright Remedy Clarification Act has attempted to do just that. According to at least one recent decision out of a federal district court in Lexington, Kentucky, Article I is indeed what Congress relied upon to authorize the passage of the Act purporting to abrogate states' rights with respect to copyright infringement lawsuits. This, the court held, rendered the attempted abrogation invalid. That litigation was consequently dismissed by the court as barred by the doctrine of sovereign immunity. In addition, several copyright infringement lawsuits by serial copyright infringement plaintiff Richard Bell have been rejected on grounds of sovereign immunity, including claims against Purdue University and Indiana University.
The case was assigned to District Judge Richard L. Young and Magistrate Judge Doris L. Pryor in the Southern District and assigned Case 1:18-cv-01473-RLY-DLP.


Abstract: Buruli ulcer caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans is a neglected tropical disease characterized by extensive ulceration involving predominantly the upper and lower limbs of patients. The disease is common in rural tropical communities in West and Central Africa, where access to proper health care is limited. Pathogenesis of the characteristic painless ulcers is linked to the elaboration by M. ulcerans of a lipid toxin called mycolactone that has potent cytopathic, immunosuppressive, and analgesic effects on a host of cells in cutaneous tissues. Mycolactone is known to profoundly inhibit secretion of a plethora of proteins that are essential for wound healing. Even though a combination antibacterial therapy of streptomycin and rifampicin for 8 weeks is effective for treatment, it relies on good and appropriate wound management to prevent secondary bacterial infections and improve healing. Evidence-based interventions for wound care in Buruli ulcer disease are often lacking and have relied on expert advice and recommendations. Surgical interventions are limited to debridement of necrotic tissue and grafting of extensive ulcers, usually after antibiotic therapy. Patients' rehabilitation is an important component of care to reduce disabilities associated with the disease and proper integration into the community after treatment.

Stroke triggers identified by Global Research
December 2, 2021 December 10, 2021 Aoife Jackson 0 Comments Interstroke, neurology, NUI Galway, Research, stroke
NUI Galway study pinpoints anger, emotional upset and heavy physical exertion in hours before event
A global study co-led by NUI Galway into causes of stroke has found that one in 11 survivors experienced a period of anger or upset in the one hour leading up to it. One in 20 patients had engaged in heavy physical exertion.
The global INTERSTROKE study – the largest research project of its kind – identified the suspected triggers. It analysed 13,462 cases of acute stroke, involving patients with a range of ethnic backgrounds in 32 countries, including Ireland.
The research has been published in the European Heart Journal.
Stroke is a leading global cause of death or disability. Each year, approximately 7,500 Irish people have a stroke and around 2,000 of these people die. An estimated 30,000 people are living in Ireland with disabilities as a result of a stroke.
Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at NUI Galway, Director of the HRB-Clinical Research Facility Galway and a Consultant Nephrologist at Galway University Hospitals and also one of the lead researchers spoke about it.
Professor Andrew Smyth said: "Stroke prevention is a priority for physicians. Despite advances it remains difficult to predict when a stroke will occur. Many studies have focused on medium to long-term exposures, such as hypertension, obesity or smoking. Our study aimed to look at acute exposures that may act as triggers."
The research analysed patterns in patients who suffered ischemic stroke. It is the most common type of stroke, which occurs when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain, and also intracerebral haemorrhage. It is less common and involves bleeding within the brain tissue itself.
Professor Smyth added: "We looked a two separate triggers. Our research found that anger or emotional upset was linked to an approximately 30% increase in risk of stroke during one hour after an episode – with a greater increase if the patient did not have a history of depression. The odds were also greater for those with a lower level of education.
"We also found that heavy physical exertion was linked to an approximately 60% increase in risk is of intracerebral haemorrhage during the one hour after the episode of heavy exertion. There was a greater increase for women and less risk for those with a normal BMI.
"The study also concluded that there was no increase with exposure to both triggers of anger and heavy physical exertion."
Co-author of the paper and Consultant Stroke Physician at Galway University Hospitals spoke about it.
Dr Michelle Canavan said "Our message is for people to practice mental and physical wellness at all ages. But it is also important for some people to avoid heavy physical exertion. Particularly if they are high-risk of cardiovascular, while also adopting a healthy lifestyle of regular exercise."
The global INTERSTROKE study was co-led by Professor Martin O'Donnell, Professor of Neurovascular Medicine at NUI Galway, and Consultant Stroke Physician at Galway University Hospitals, in collaboration with Prof Salim Yusuf of the Population Health Research Institute of McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences, Canada.
"Some of the best ways to prevent stroke are to maintain a healthy lifestyle, treat high blood pressure and not to smoke, but our research also shows other events such as an episode of anger or upset or a period of heavy physical exertion independently increase the short-term risk." Prof O'Donnell said.
"We would emphasise that a brief episode of heavy physical exertion is different to getting regular physical activity, which reduces the long-term risk of stroke."

A Sustainable Future Means Sharing Research

The future of building materials requires advocacy for a one-stop, open-to-the-public, environmentally conscious building materials database. We as architects must make healthier, more sustainable material selections and specifications commonplace in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, with continuity from the design process through the end of construction.
We often have an adverse reaction to building materials when opening a package of product samples or walking onto an active construction site—we are assaulted with potentially harmful odors. But we do not have this same reaction to a finished building. The materials have not been significantly altered, but our perception of them changes when experienced as part of a larger assembly or completed project.
Efforts to reduce environmental impacts within the architectural profession must address the needs of those who rely on designers and owners to speak for them. A large, broad, and often vulnerable population are the users of civic projects, including affordable housing, schools, libraries, healthcare facilities, and transit stations. In selecting materials, architects should factor in not only the potential impacts on the end user—for example, reducing or eliminating interior finish products that release harmful gases after installation—but also the impacts on the manufacturer and installer. As with much of the architectural industry, civic spaces and their end users are subject to market-driven impulses that usually consider cost and ease of material procurement. The future occupants, however, are largely left out of the discussion. Buildings can never be truly "environmentally conscious" if we don't account for the effects of the components that go into their design.
Integrating sustainable, forward-looking materials (such as masonry with ground-glass pozzolan, carbon-neutral concrete, or even mushroom-based textiles) into projects, whether of a civic nature or not, requires thorough research and vetting, but also sharing information. Thoughtful material specifications can easily be undone during construction, whether through value engineering, changes in market availability, or a contractor's unfamiliarity with a new or different product. Civic projects are often restricted by tight operational and construction budgets and require durable, long-lasting materials. Therefore, the benefits of such materials cannot be pushed without substantial proof of concept, and any cost considerations must be dealt with sensitively and openly.
The industry needs a publicly accessible unifying body and voice that consolidates information on materials.
Standards such as LEED, Green Globes, and Passive House offer pathways toward achieving and validating sustainably- minded design decisions, but guidelines for selecting materials can be murky and contradictory across platforms. Additionally, in the civic realm, some institutional clients and developers have deeply researched and tested material standards that do not always align with an architectural sustainable agenda. Often, selections are made based on durability and long-term maintenance, but may not factor in potential issues such as off-gassing over time or disposal at end of life.
Several beneficial existing platforms already exist, such as Health Product Declaration Collaborative and Parsons Healthy Material Lab, but can be limited by competing interests or specific agendas. The industry needs a publicly accessible unifying body and voice that consolidates this information.
The value of healthier or more sustainable materials is often intangible, and such selections can be overridden by the need to build and operate a building at an affordable cost. Part of the architect's duty is to educate the client about the benefits of forward-looking materials so they become part of standard
practice; material selections must be architect-driven and client-supported. The research effort required to make this happen is not always an affordable reality for architects, who must either build it into project fees or have a separate stand-alone research and development department.
Bringing our research out into the open by advocating for a third-party platform to aggregate and filter through this work could help clarify and standardize material selections, benefitting us all in the future. If we are truly going to tackle architecture's impact on the environment and address it as the crisis it is, we need to benefit from the research and work of our peers.

El sistema piramidal o vía corticoespinal es un conjunto de axones motores que viajan desde la corteza cerebral (donde se encuentra  la motoneurona superior) hasta las astas anteriores de la médula espinal (donde hace contacto con la motoneurona inferior). La vía corticoespinal contiene exclusivamente axones motores. Cerca del 80% de los axones se decusan (se cruzan) en el bulbo raquídeo (en el punto conocido como decusación de las pirámides). Esto explica por qué los movimientos de un lado del cuerpo son controlados por el lado opuesto del cerebro.
El 20% de las fibras no se cruzan y forman el fascículo corticoespinal directo

Sistema formado por las vías del sistema nervioso central encargadas de llevar los impulsos nerviosos desde la corteza cerebral motora hasta las motoneuronas alfa de las astas ventrales de la médula espinal.

Vía corticoespinal
La vía corticoespinal se origina en las neuronas piramidales gigantes (células de Betz) de la corteza motora. Los cuerpos neuronales en la corteza motora envían sus axones a los núcleos motores de los nervios craneales principalmente del lado contralateral de los pedúnculos cerebrales (tracto córtico-peduncular), protuberancia o puente de Varolio (tracto córtico-pontino), el bulbo raquídeo (tracto córtico-bulbar); sin embargo, la mayor parte de esas fibras se extienden hacia abajo hasta la médula espinal (tracto córtico-espinales). La mayoría de las fibras córtico-espinales (cerca del 90%) se cruzan hacia el lado contralateral en el bulbo raquídeo (decusación piramidal), mientras que algunas de ellas (10%) se cruzan a su nivel en la médula espinal.

Existe una representación somatotópica precisa de las diferentes partes del cuerpo en la corteza motora primaria, con el área del miembro inferior localizada en la corteza medial (cerca de la línea media), y el área de la extremidad cefálica localizada en la corteza lateral, en la convexidad del hemisferio cerebral (homúnculo motor). El área motora del brazo y la mano es la mayor y ocupa la parte precentral del gyrus, localizada entre el área del miembro inferior y de la cara.

Los axones motores se mueven juntos y viajan a través de la sustancia blanca cerebral, y forman parte de la pierna posterior de la cápsula interna.

Las fibras motoras continúan hacia abajo dentro del tronco cerebral. El haz de axones corticoespinales es visible como dos estructuras en forma de columnas ("pirámides") en la cara ventral de la médula espinal —de aquí viene el nombre de vía piramidal—.

Whew. The Great Influenza is a heck of a read: there's a lot of information, and it takes quite a while to get to the actual point of the epidemic, because first it covers certain aspects of medical history. As with so many books like this, in places it becomes a sort of biography of the greats who were involved — it's going to be interesting to see pop-science deal with the increasingly team-based approach to science, without central characters to pin the narrative on. In many ways, this is more history than science, though it does go into the discovery of the actual cause of influenza, the (lack of) treatments available then and now, the effects it has on the human body, etc. Still, it's also very much about public health policy and medical practice: it is not just "oooh cool a deadly pathogen".
Which, if you're scoffing and thinking that flu isn't a deadly pathogen, do think again. Even seasonal flu can kill those who are weakened in some way, or unlucky, and the 1918 flu killed from 50 to 100 million people in the years the pandemic ran through (about 1918-1920, to the best of my understanding). It's difficult to predict how flu will mutate, because it does so all the time, and there are various different strains active in the population at different times. It's also present in other host species, meaning we can cross-infect our livestock and pick up infections from them.
Flu is a problem, and it was a huge problem back in 1918 without so much commercial flight and recreational travel. The way it swept the globe then is nothing to what it could do now if we're complacent. If you're blasé about the potential of a flu pandemic like H1N1, I recommend this to change your mind.
There's a lot of gory detail here about how the 1918 flu killed, alongside the more sterile descriptions of lab experiments and the dry series of events, and the nitty-gritty of how the influenza virus invades a host cell. It's not exactly a thrilling read unless you find the topic truly fascinating (I do), but there is a lot here of interest.
Ahoy there matey! Excellent review that makes me very keen to read this one. It goes on the list. I read an interesting story about the 1793 yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia and even though it was a middle-grade fiction book, I ended up being more interested in the historical details and read further about the incident afterwards. Love yer blog!
Thank you! It was a great read, I do recommend it.
