Les sinus paranasaux sont un groupe de quatre paires de cavités remplies d'air où l'orifice d'entrée de l'air et celui de sortie ne font qu'un, autour des cavités nasales et contenues dans les os crâniens.

Anatomie

Il existe quatre types de sinus paranasaux :

 Le sinus maxillaire : Le plus sujet à des pathologies. Asymétriques, on trouve un sinus maxillaire droit et un sinus maxillaire gauche. Ils constituent le type le plus volumineux de sinus. Se forme vers 2 ans , son volume va croître considérablement avec le développement de la face à permet d'alléger le massif facial. Il a une forme de pyramide couchée dont la base répond à la paroi latérale de la cavité nasale et le sommet au processus zygomatique du maxillaire  -  La face supérieure du sinus maxillaire répond à la face inférieure de la cavité orbitaire -  La paroi postérieure est en rapport avec la fosse infra-temporale  -  Bord inférieur en rapport essentiel avec la région alvéolaire du maxillaire : les racines dentaires ;
 Le sinus frontal :  Descend dans les fosses nasales par le canal naso-frontal qui s'abouche à la partie antérieure de la région du hiatus maxillaire. Certains parlent de sinus frontaux (au pluriel) car il est cloisonné avec 2 ou 3 parois orientées dans un plan sagittal ;
 Les sinus ethmoïdaux : Au nombre de 10 à 20, ils sont présents à la naissance. Il ne s'agit pas d'une cavité unique comme les autres sinus mais plusieurs cloisonnements qui forment un labyrinthe au niveau de la masse latérale de l'ethmoïde. On les décrit en 2 parties : cellules ethmoïdales antérieures et postérieures. La partie antérieure des cellules ethmoïdales s'ouvre au niveau du méat nasal moyen et la partie postérieure au niveau du méat nasal supérieur. Les cellules ethmoïdales constituent la paroi médiale de l'orbite ;
 Le sinus sphénoïdal : A l'intérieur du corps du sphénoïde. Rapports :  Au-dessus : loge hypophysaire - selle turcique,  Latéralement : sinus caverneux,  En dessous : les fosses nasales. Il communique avec les fosses nasales par le .

Chez le nourrisson, seuls les sinus ethmoïdaux sont présents, le développement des frontaux se déroule vers l'âge de 5-10 ans ans et des sphénoïdaux vers 10-15 ans.

Chez l'adolescent, le développement des sinus maxillaires est intimement associé au type de déglutition salivaire (déglutition atypique).

Fonctions
Les sinus paranasaux remplissent probablement plusieurs fonctions :
 Diminution relative du poids de la partie antérieure du crâne, en particulier des os de la face ; leur forme est importante du point de vue de l'attache des muscles de la face ;
 Amélioration du réchauffement et de l'humidification de l'air inhalé avant qu'il n'atteigne les poumons ;
 Augmentation de la résonance de la voix ;
 Amortissement des éventuels coups reçus au visage ;
 Participation à la clairance mucociliaire, processus d'épuration par lequel les particules des aérocontaminants sont piégées dans le mucus sécrété par les muqueuses sinusales ciliées, mucus qui s'écoule dans les cavités nasales par les méats nasaux, puis est envoyé en direction de l'hypopharynx (élimination dans le système digestif via la déglutition) ou de l'extérieur (mouchage, éternuement, expectoration sous forme de crachats et de glaires).
 Participation au « cycle nasal » : les muqueuses des sinus (ainsi que celles des cornets nasaux) gonflent alternativement d'un côté puis de l'autre de la boîte crânienne toutes les 1 à 5 heures  en moyenne. Ce cycle, constaté chez 80 % de la population adulte, explique qu'une fosse nasale est bouchée tandis que l'autre est dégagée, ce qui favoriserait la perception d'un panel plus large d'odeurs. Lorsqu'on est allongé, ce cycle expliquerait aussi en partie le changement de côté pendant le sommeil.

Pathologie
Les sinus paranasaux sont reliés aux fosses nasales par des petits orifices appelés ostia. Ces derniers peuvent s'obstruer facilement par l'inflammation allergique ou le gonflement causé par un rhume. Le drainage normal du mucus sinusal est alors interrompu, et une sinusite peut apparaître.

UPDATED INFORMATION: Subject Charged in Water Treatment Facility Incident
MEDIA RELEASE: UPDATED INFORMATION, Subject Charged
On August 6, 2017 at approximately 11:38 AM, the Washington County Sheriff's Office responded to the Washington County Water Treatment Facility, 10221 Crystal Falls Drive, for a reported shooting.
A Water and Sewer employee, identified as Bradley Michael Dick, 32 of Falling Waters, West Virginia, stated he had been conducting routine checks at the facility when he heard what he described as gun shots and was struck in the leg.
Dick was transported to Meritus Medical Center for the treatment of a minor injury to his leg.
Personnel from the Washington County Sheriff's Office, Department of Natural Resources, and a helicopter from the Maryland State Police responded to the area to conduct a search for the suspect however none was located.
During a search of the property, detectives located three apparent bullet impacts. The first area of impact was in the ground near a rear gate where Dick stated he had walked back through after obtaining a water sample. The second and third impacts were located on the door to the building where Dick said he ran during the shooting.
In addition, detectives located and collected several apparent bullet fragments from a concrete walkway area in front of the building where Dick ran during the shooting. Based on the location of the apparent bullet impacts and Dick's statement it was believed the shots would have possibly originated from a hillside/ridge which runs along the northwest side of the water treatment facility.
A Forensic Scientist with the Western Maryland Regional Crime Laboratory, walked through the entire scene, photographed the area, and took measurements of the door of the building, as well as measurements of the height of a chain-link fence that surrounds the property.
Using a tripod and trajectory rod, the Forensic Scientist evaluated the apparent bullet impact site, as well as a tape measure and angle meter to evaluate the impact locations on the door of the building.
It was determined that the bullet could not have originated from where Dick claimed the shooter was.
After further investigation, detectives discovered that Dick owned a .22 caliber revolver, which was consistent with the bullets fragments recovered from the scene of the incident.
At the request of detectives, Dick submitted to a polygraph examination, which was conducted by the Maryland State Police.
At the conclusion of the examination it was determined that Dick went to the Water Treatment Plant on Saturday, August 5th, 2017 and fired the shots into the ground and into the door using his revolver.
Dick returned to the Water Treatment Plant on Sunday, August 6th, 2017 and used a nail to inflict the wound on his leg. Dick then called 911 and made up the story about being shot.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office has charged Dick with False Statement to Officer and Malicious Destruction Property/Value -$500.
Dick was charged via Criminal Summons.

Making an assisted living plan isn't as daunting with personalized facilities like these.
Our aging population has more living choices now than ever before — so much so that the options can be overwhelming when it comes time to help a loved one make a decision about where to live next. Experts agree on one thing: Don't wait too long to help Mom or Dad move into a senior living environment where they'll get help with day-to-day activities or health issues.
Offering graduated levels of senior living is now a standard that customers benefit from across the board. It starts with Independent Living, essentially a month-to-month apartment rental offered in Fanwood, West Milford and Warren (with new properties being constructed) that offers complete freedom and independence. It includes access to fun activities and, in Chelsea Senior Living's case, the added benefit of medical and social programs. Right on the same properties is the next level, Assisted Living, which offers attention from aides trained to help with daily activities like dressing, grooming and moving from place to place, as well as regular wellness checks.
Memory Care, the industry standard for people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, offers 24/7 attention in a secure part of the building to prevent residents from wandering away; these residents have their own meals and activities conducted by specially trained staff. The Fanwood location even offers an early dementia program for people showing some signs of memory loss but who are still highly functional. Another has a program that combines independent living with some assisted living services.
Chelsea Senior Living is also the only assisted living company in New Jersey that offers a mental health program, Crossings, within its East Brunswick residence, which includes an entire floor for seniors with mental health and behavioral illnesses such as bipolar disorder and depression, or for individiuals recovering from mental health hospitalizations or medication management.
"We offer more choices so folks will consider joining us earlier, before their health issues become more serious and they can age in place more easily," said Tom Kranz, Chelsea Senior Living director of communications.
Frequently, the hardest part is convincing reluctant seniors of what is best for them.
Although assisted living is not meant to be primarily a health care solution, it has become more health care oriented in the 40 years since it took off as a senior living option.
While websites and printed materials offer an introduction to assisted living, there is no substitute for visiting a facility, looking around, talking to the residents and staff, and getting a good feeling about the place. Chelsea Senior Living encourages the public to do so at any of its 20 properties in New Jersey and New York. Find more information at chelseaseniorliving.com.


This past Tuesday EPG residents went to the ballot to vote for 4 open seats on the Board of Education. In addition to those four seats, Josh Uphoff has decided to step down from the Board of Education. This creates a 5th vacancy (which would be a 2-year term). We certainly want to thank Dave Mool, Jeremy Faulk, Ed Faulk, and Josh Uphoff for their service on the Board. We will recognize them at the start of our April 29th meeting of the Board of Education. The election set up to have 5 candidates running for 4 open seats. Now that there is a 5th vacancy, the most natural thing is to go ahead and fill it with the 5th candidate. The Board will formally do that at the April meeting. Congratulations to Randy Barth (incumbent), Seth Campbell, Bob Wettstein, and Sean Cornell who have unofficially been elected to 4-year terms for vacant seats. Congratulations to Brad Griffin who will be appointed to finish out the 2-year term made open by resignation. Since the election will not be formally canvased until April 16th, the Regular April Board Meeting will be held on April 29th at 7:00 p.m. in the Centennial Library.


At Healthy Smiles Kids we focus on positive dentist experiences for every patient. We are located in Watsonville, a central coast of California. Our entire dental team is devoted to helping kids feel welcome and comfortable, and we nurture trusting relationships that last. What's more, kids actually have fun in our dental office!
So thankful for Dr.Parti and her amazing assistants especially Aileen and the assistants that help her with sedation treatments. We've had such a hard time finding a trustful dentist and staff here in Watsonville and surrounding areas. Our two boys had bad experiences with previous dental offices. I am glad I did not allow any treatment at any other offices. Dentists were over diagnosing and the staff didn't seem to care about patients. Here with Dr.Parti we felt good from the moment we walked in. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. Aileen was amazing at explaining the entire treatment plan to us. All of our questions were answered before any treatment was performed. Dr.Parti told us some of my 3 year olds front teeth were going to be crowned but might possibly need to be extracted due to the extent of the cavities. Not only did she save his teeth but also saved them with white crowns!!!!! Another great thing was parents are allowed to see the dental treatment being done on their children through a monitor. My 5 year old had a lot of work done and didn't even cry! He had no pain during his procedure! There are so many positive things to say about this office I can go on and on. Thank you Dr.Parti and staff!!! We found a lifelong dentist for our boys! Would highly recommend!!!

Commercial Building Disclosure program
The Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010 (Cth) commenced on 1 July 2010 and is being implemented through the Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) program. It currently only applies to office buildings, but the government is currently reviewing the early results of the CBD and, it is anticipated, will expand the CBD to cover other building types such as hotels, shopping centres and hospitals from 2014.
From 1 November 2011 the full requirements of the CBD program came into force. Vendors and lessors of office space of 2,000 square metres or more must obtain, register and disclose a Building Energy Efficiency Certificate (BEEC) if they wish to sell, lease or sublease that office space or otherwise face significant fines (as of 29 December 2012, the maximum penalty able to be imposed by a Court for a sale, lease or sublease without a BEEC increased to $170,000). The BEEC includes a NABERS rating plus other specified energy efficiency information. The BEEC will be available publicly online via the Building Energy Efficiency Register, and the NABERS rating must be included in any advertisement for the sale, lease or sublease of the office space, using the prescribed format.
The mandatory disclosure requirements of the CBD program do not apply to:
buildings less than two years old;
buildings which have been the subject of major refurbishment (requiring a new occupancy permit) in the last two years;
strata-titled buildings; and
mixed use buildings with less than 75 per cent office space.
Contractual obligations
In addition to the requirements under the CBD program, the achievement or disclosure of a rating may be a contractual requirement. If the achievement or disclosure of a rating is to be contractually documented, it is important in the contractual framework to:
determine who has control over the factors that can influence the ability to obtain, calculate and maintain the rating; and
allocate responsibility accordingly.
When the rating tools were first established, contracts did not oblige the construction contractor to achieve a particular rating outcome. However, contractors are now more frequently being asked to assume the risk of achieving rating outcomes. A contractor should consider whether to take responsibility for failure to achieve the rating, as the failure may arise due to the manner in which the building is being occupied by the various tenants, or managed by the facilities manager post construction.
Similarly:
a facilities manager should consider whether to take responsibility for maintaining and calculating a rating and meeting the requirements under the CBD program on a landlord's behalf; and
a landlord should be careful about agreeing to abatements under a lease for failure to achieve or maintain a rating, as the failure may arise from the tenant's behaviour in using and occupying the building, or due to a failure by the appointed facilities manager.
In this regard, it is useful in the project documentation to clearly articulate the occupational parameters around which the rating is proposed to be obtained. For example:
occupation densities;
number of women versus men;
hours of operation; and
air-conditioning use.
The identification of operational usage and tailored design responses will assist the overall environmental effectiveness of the building and its ability to sustain its rating into the future.

Special design features include integrating fun and colorful educational symbolism like a butterfly life cycle walkway, a U.S. map painted on asphalt, nature-themed play equipment with dragonfly-like patterns, abstract insect forms embedded into play pits, and a flight path of a bee integrated into an outdoor adventure area. QR codes etched into a maze integrated the learning components.
The animal and nature theme is interwoven throughout the site. A discovery area is themed around plant life and includes an outdoor classroom with a tactile walk. At the main entry plaza, etched water patterns provide a visual progression typically found in a watershed. There is an outdoor exploratory area with natural materials, and numerous native plantings. These include a buff sandstone amphitheater with shade structures featuring leaf cutouts, a large cottonwood stump that creates a picnic table and seats, and a footbridge which crosses a cobble stream bed. Etched stepping stones are embedded in the crushed gravel walkways, and a pathway of tree stumps forms an adventurous balance walk. The Kitchen Community designed and installed whimsical, macaroni shaped garden beds for hands-on learning experiences.
The landscape design also includes common amenities appropriate to a school site, including outdoor recreation and play fields, open spaces, and plazas to include the community, along with carefully planned parking and student drop-off and pick-up zones and bus access. The parking lot contains a porous landscape detention island to help clean surface runoff before entering nearby drainage ways.

Kunene and McKenzie in R5-billion BEE deal – Report
Staff Writer17 September 2017
The Sunday Times has reported that former convicts Kenny Kunene and Gayton McKenzie are linked to a R5-billion BEE deal involving Russian company Rosgeo.
According to the report, Kunene and McKenzie have an "increasingly cozy relationship" with President Jacob Zuma and have a strong influence on him.
Kunene and McKenzie allegedly travelled to Russia recently, at the same time as security minister David Mahlobo, to discuss a R5-billion gas deal with Rosgeo.
Earlier this month, state-owned PetroSA announced it had signed a $400-million (R5.3-billion) agreement with Rosgeo to drill for gas off the southern coast of South Africa.
"The project envisages extraction of up to 4 million cubic metres of gas daily. This will subsequently be delivered to the gas-to-liquids refinery in Mossel Bay," said the company.
"The signed agreement is aimed at developing bilateral relations and will strengthen Rosgeo's presence in the African market," said Rosgeo CEO Roman Panov.
The Daily Maverick reported that the announcement of the deal came shortly after allegations of political meddling within PetroSA.
According to The Sunday Times, Kunene and McKenzie were introduced to Rosgeo CEO Panov as potential BEE partners by Mahlobo in August.
The report stated that "Mahlobo has been running around and organising deals for Kunene and McKenzie".
ANC insiders told the newspaper that Kunene and McKenzie have access to "the big house" – Zuma's official residence.
Update – I am not a Gupta
Gayton McKenzie will fight allegations that he is a "new Gupta" with "every legal means at [his] disposal".
"I am not a Gupta, new or old," McKenzie declared in a statement released on Sunday after the Sunday Times for the second week running carried stories that McKenzie, a controversial businessman and leader of the Patriotic Alliance, and his friend Kenny Kunene stand to benefit from a cosy relationship with President Jacob Zuma in a way similar to that of the Guptas.
This week the Sunday Times reported that McKenzie and Kunene stood to benefit as BEE partners to a Russian company in a multibillion-rand gas deal.
McKenzie denies these, and other allegations levelled against him and pointed out that he does not do business with the state or any SOE's.
"Being labelled a 'Gupta' is possibly the most defamatory label that can currently be attached to a person in South Africa, but that goes 100-fold for anyone who is in business or politics, and I am in both," read McKenzie's statement.
"The reality is that the name 'Gupta' has become a swearword and a curse in South Africa. The Guptas are not even able to hold a bank account. They lost their JSE sponsor. They have been forced to sell their businesses simply because of the profound hostility towards them in the South African context. Which sane human being would want to be a Gupta in South Africa? You may as well shoot yourself in the head, it would be less painful," said McKenzie.
"I therefore take huge exception to Kenny and I being called the 'new Guptas'. The danger of this to my reputation is so profound it risks my entire livelihood and the thousands of people who rely on the success of my businesses. I will not leave the label unchallenged."
'Smear campaign'
McKenzie believes he is the victim of a smear campaign by "those who want Cyril Ramaphosa to be the next president of South Africa [and] are very upset by the leaks that emerged of all the deputy president's many extramarital affairs".
"They have blamed Kenny and me for this, but I had nothing to do with those leaks, and as far as I know Kenny only published the videos of one of Cyril's girlfriends after he was sent that footage, which was also sent to many other people in the media," said McKenzie.
"I refuse to be turned into a weapon in the ANC's factional wars. People think I am an easy target because of my criminal past, which I've never tried to hide from."
"I obviously don't fit the 'acceptable mould' of the black businessman in South Africa. Not only do I not criticise Zuma, I admire the man openly. That doesn't make me his "pal", it merely means I hold a contrary view to the mainstream media," reads McKenzie's statement.
"My trouble with the media clearly started the moment I wrote an opinion piece questioning the agenda of the anti-Zuma cabal. But I will not change my political opinions simply because of bad press."
"They have a fight on their hands," warned McKenzie. "I shall fight these groundless attacks with every legal means at my disposal."

Undoing Relationships and Reader Expectations
By Ashley Miller on	 November 26, 2018 Book Reviews
Undoing
Kim Magowan
Moon City Press, 2017
238 pages, $14.95
Reviewed by Ashley Miller
Kim Magowan's short story collection, Undoing, winner of the 2017 Moon City Press Short Fiction Award and published earlier this year, examines precisely what it promises, the undoing of relationships, of love, of marriages, and of expectations. The stories are active, their characters and their relationships moving through changes; and though they are not quite finished, they are not undone – just yet. Nothing is for sure in Magowan's stories, there are no destined outcomes, no sure-fire endings, no matter how much Magowan makes us crave answers, the stories always end with questions. Will she stay? Will they get back together? Will this affair matter in the long run? Is any of it worth it?
While the cast of characters spans ages and sexes and their settings vary throughout the 29 short stories, their experiences echo one another. Undoing is rife with infidelity, in particular with cheating middle-aged men, but many stories focus on the women who become embroiled in affairs, whether that be the lover or the spurned spouse.
In "Brining" Miriam, one of many characters grappling with their partner's infidelity, shouts at her husband to leave their home upon her discovery of his continued affair. This is of course an anticipated and obvious reaction, set up by Miriam's comforting and homey (yet vaguely threatening) precision-cutting of mushrooms. But then, in a turn from the obvious, Miriam does a curious thing; she softens in the next instant and mutters to her husband — "Correction: what I really meant was, I want you to fucking stay." Here, Magowan revives the story with an unexpected turn.
Magowan seems to be conscious of the ways in which she manipulates a reader's anticipation. "Version" focuses on Molly, who is the secret product of a love affair that turned sour when her father cheated on her mother and her mother fled. The story continues normally until the point when David, Molly's father, finally has a confrontation with Molly's mother and realizes the precocious child who is staring at him is his. This moment could have become predictably saccharine, but instead David turns and flees the room, after which Magowan offers several alternative endings, with the actual ending never being revealed. Not only does this story once again flip the reader's assumptions of how things will unfold, but the structure makes the story one of the most interesting in the collection. And, like nearly all other stories in the collection, the story never really feels complete or tied up with a bow, because messy things like love and life rarely ever are.
There are instances of the anticipated and expected, but it would be hard not to find that in 29 stories built mostly on adultery and illicit affairs. We see a young babysitter get manipulated into a sexual affair by her charge's father, we meet a queer woman dating a "LUG" (lesbian until graduation), there are plenty of older men chasing younger women, girlfriends or new wives who pull fathers away from their families, and variations on promises of "it'll never happen again," but Magowan crafts these flirtations with boilerplate into something unique. She is able to do this with gorgeous prose, snappy pacing, and dynamic, three dimensional characters that make even familiar situations feel new and engaging.
After reading Magowan's Undoing you'll find yourself a little wiser about the ways in which the human heart can break.

Regulatory policies affecting investment strategies.
The countries covered in this report include: Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
A number of new international submarine cable links connecting nations on Africa's east and west coast have considerably improved internet access to the continent. Terrestrial links have enabled land-locked countries to benefit from this connectivity by dramatically reducing the cost of services for telcos and customers alike. The new WASACE cable, linking Brazil and other South American landing points, connects directly with Angola, with branch lines to Nigeria and South Africa.
In addition to these developments, there continue to be improvements to the Central African Backbone (CAB), a $215 million program funded by the World Bank and the African Development Bank to build fibre-optic infrastructure serving 11 countries in the Central African region.
Additional international bandwidth has prompted telcos to invest in local backbone infrastructure upgrades to extend networks to population centres. Countries which had previously relied on satellite connectivity have seen wholesale access prices tumble by as much as 90% in recent years.
There have also been significant investments in building local Internet Exchange Points to reduce dependence on international connectivity for local internet services, so lowering the cost of developing local hosting and application development. A number of new IXPs, including that in Namibia (opened in May 2014) have been supported by the African Internet Exchange System, an African Union project implemented by the Internet Society. This wide-ranging program aims to have 80% of African users' internet traffic exchanged within Africa by 2020.
Despite these encouraging developments, most investment at the local level is handicapped by the poor condition of fixed-line infrastructure in many parts of various countries, particularly in rural areas which also suffer from no or intermittent electricity supply. As a result, many of the local improvements in internet access seen in recent years have been confined to the principal cities. Nevertheless, in adapting to these restrictions telcos serving rural areas have elected to invest in mobile infrastructure to provide voice and 3G-based data services.
There is limited Fibre-to-the-Premise (FttP) infrastructure, mainly serving select areas of some cities, though the sector continues to develop.

What is the purpose of the double-acting pump?
The double-acting pump is an added option for confort and ease of use. With this option, two movements can be made simultaneously thanks to the independent power supply of the two distributors. You will be able to close the bucket and pull the arm at the same time for example.


Over the last couple of years I find myself doing more and more with small animals as well as equines. Here is a testimonial I wanted to share from a client.
Crybaby is an ordinary gray striped shorthaired domestic cat whom we consider the best cat in the world. He is five years old and is a full time indoor cat. Our house is all on one level, not a large house and has three bedrooms. Crybaby usually sleeps on a bed at night and eats breakfast on the kitchen countertop in the morning. He uses all of the rooms in the house and goes down to the basement through a cat door to look for mice. Every day for Crybaby is pretty much like the next with few surprises. But one day it all changed. Crybaby's behavior and demeanor changed very suddenly and dramatically over night. He seemed petrified and refused to leave the bedroom area of the house, staying pretty much in the hallway, crouching with his tail in a brush. The hallway has a runner in it and the living room had an area rug. Because his food was in another part of the house, he had to leave the hallway in order to eat. But he seemed too frightened to walk on the hallway runner or living room rug. He would jump onto the couch to avoid touching the carpet. It was very, very bizarre behavior and we could not figure out what had frightened Crybaby or what we could do to calm him. The vet checked Crybaby out but couldn't find anything physically wrong with him and was puzzled by this change in him.
Katherine had helped with a donkey in my care who was quite anxious and did not like to be handled. So I called Katherine to see if she could do some work with Crybaby and create a Bach remedy for him. Katherine had a Reiki session with Crybaby and mixed up a remedy to be added to his food. Before long, Crybaby started to relax and return to his former self.
It is always nice to have positive feedback about the remedies! Crybaby is a good example of another interesting experience that I have more and more frequently lately, an animal bringing up a topic that is somehow related or important to their person. During Crybaby's session he brought up "letting go." Working through that, I found that it was related to Judy and her emotions regarding the recent loss of her mother. Bringing up the topic helped clear blocked energy for Crybaby, but it also meant something significant to Judy. Healing work has a ripple effect!

I have a secret weapon in my beauty kit…drum roll…SALT SPRAY! It is the best thing that ever happened to my fine, limp straight hair. The purpose of salt spray is to give it that salty, gritty, textured feel your hair has right as you get out the ocean. I love it because it helps my hair to be styled without being rock hard and unmovable. I am lazy when it comes to doing my hair and I like having the messy not 'done' look. So, with a spritz of this and blast of the hair dryer and I am good to go. For the best result I would spray to damp towel dried hair or lightly spraying after you have styled then blow it over lightly with the hairdryer. Below are a few sprays I have tried and tested and highly recommend. I will do another step by step post about how I actually do my hair so you can see what a miracle this product really is!
This was the very fist salt spray I ever used and it was a game changer for me. This has been used in my hair for practically every 'do' I have ever had at any event, red carpet or photoshoot. It great for up do's to spray into damp hair and dry off for that extra texture and hold that your hair needs for long nights. It is a great every day spray too – very gritty and leaves your hair with that salty sea feeling. I recommend only spraying 5-7 pumps of this one for everyday use onto damp hair to avoid it getting crispy. The best part of this spray the handle – it is so easy to pump from every angle!
This spray is the bomb…..pardon the pun. I really like a lot of the products from O&M (their shampoo's smell divine!) so I was keen to see what this spray was like. I was not disappointed. This spray leaves the grit but not the oily residue that other salt sprays can leave after a couple of hours. I love this product for the staying power – it lasts all day and still feels the same at the end of the day as it did when you first put it on. My hair really behaves itself when this is sprayed on! And…despite it's small appearance it lasts a really long time.
I bought this product in a mad dash to the store a couple of months ago when I had run out of my trusty sprays. The girl at the store told me this was their best seller for salt sprays. I am always up to try something new and recommended so I brought it home with me to try. I have to say, it is a winner. This is probably the lightest of the products I have used and give a subtle yet strong texture. I would recommend about 8-10 sprays for everyday wear for a good result.

and I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the cumsum of the consecutive zeros in column N and resetting whenever there is a non-zero value. This is the kind of output I'm looking for.
date         N    cum0

2016-06-28  0.0     2
2016-06-29  3.0     0

A: You can define each group by the number of non-zero numbers before it.  Then use row_number():
select date, n,
       (row_number() over (partition by grp order by date) -
        (grp <> 0)::int
       ) as cum0
from (select t.*,
             count(*) filter (where n <> 0.0) over (order by date) as grp
      from t
     ) t

Here is a SQL Fiddle.

Thank you for all the good information on your site. I would like to know a little more detail about how to take the mimosa pudica seeds please. Do you grind the seeds to make the powder and then soak it for 10 min before drinking? Is it alright to add a little honey to this mixture? Does one take it only at bedtime or can you also take one or more does during the day as well on an empty stomach? Thank you very much for your help; I really appreciate your time. Sincerely, Anna

The Honest Abe Pledge
After four days in Cleveland during which I have been touched, impressed, and moved in some surprising ways, including by several convention speakers and by the good-heartedness of many Republicans I have met, I feel compelled to write this article.
On Tuesday, I spoke at the Purple Tent, which Stuart Muszynski created as a forum to find unifying common ground between Republicans and Democrats. After that day, I felt more hopeful than ever before that we can bridge our differences and work together to create lasting solutions for a new-and-improved America.
After spending time with Republicans such as Michael Steele, Grover Norquist, and Bill Shireman, I came away feeling that even though our political differences may be substantial, we can meet with civility, respect, and curiosity and make real progress. I have, in recent months, also begun a friendship with Rich Tafel, founder of the Log Cabin Republicans, and just hosted an excellent online dialogue with Michael Ostrolenk, founder of the Liberty Coalition.
All of that is to say that I have dissolved a lot of residual negativity about Republicans and have felt impressed by the intelligence, principles, and commitment of many that I have met and engaged with recently.
While this bridge-building with Republicans is still in an early phase for me, a transpartisan progressive, I feel a bit nervous to write what I am going to write. I do not want it to cause a rift in the collaborative spirit that is growing. In fact, I hope that it deepens it because it addresses a shared problem.
Each day, I grow more convinced that the path to real greatness for America lies in seeing conservative and progressive values as complementary to each other. Right and left are like the two wings of our cherished American eagle, both required for us to soar.
But that collaboration of left and right is in grave danger because of the lies that are creating a hall of mirrors of attack, misunderstanding, demonization, and fear.
And the most important lie is that Donald Trump is a truthteller when in fact he has been the biggest liar in recent years on the political stage.
I say that not as a partisan statement but as a result of 50 fact-checked speeches by Politifact that analyzed 20 politicians on the national stage since 2007, which you can see graphically depicted here.
Trump comes through with the lowest rating for "truthiness" of all 20, with a mere 11 percent rating vs. 51 percent for Hillary.
Trump has cast aspersions on others with names such as "Lyin' Ted" and "Crooked Hillary" to distract from his own lying and exaggeration. As Ted Cruz stated, this tendency to blame others for what he is doing himself is "straight out of a psychology textbook."
Recent statements of Trump's ghostwriter Tony Schwartz make it clear that Trump considered lying simply part of getting the best business deals and becoming a success. The New Yorker article that chronicles the details is something everyone should read. Tony concluded, "lying is second nature to him."
Trump's lack of commitment to telling the truth simply must be addressed not only for the good America, but for the good of the Republican Party, which will otherwise face a real corrosion in the American people's faith in its moral compass.
Trump must be held fully accountable to the truth, just as Hillary (and other Democrats) must be held accountable to the truth.
However, it doesn't serve to say they are equivalent because the truth is that Trump actually has the habit of lying much more often and more egregiously, as the Politifact stats show.
During his final night speech, Trump explicitly promised to convention-goers that "There will be no lies. We will honor the American people with the truth and nothing else."
While that sounds good, he later said about Hillary, for example, "They have total control over every single thing she does." Imagine someone saying that in a courtroom and how the cross-examination would address it (or the judge). It is a clear lie in order to paint Hillary in a certain way.
Earlier in the week, the campaign continued to insist that there was no plagiarism in Melania's speech even though there clearly was. After a staffer at last confessed, there was no apology. Indeed, there is a tendency to double down on exaggerations and lies.
Slowly but surely, we have all begun to accept and perhaps tolerate that this as the state of affairs but it ultimately undermines our trust in ALL politics and particularly in our political parties, which start to put winning ahead of truthtelling to the American people.
So I come away with a big question: will Republicans (and not just the media) hold Trump to be a man of his word and require that he be trustworthy with the truth?
The party built on the noble service of Honest Abe simply cannot afford to ignore the fact that Donald Trump has been rated as the most egregious liar out of 20 major recent politicians by Politifact.
This cannot be an inconvenient truth covered up with more hatred of Hillary and more finger-pointing at her misdeeds. That stance has no integrity.
To have legitimacy in confronting Hillary over her own lies, there must be moral integrity in the accuser, which requires a deeper level of honesty. Otherwise the accusations are simply attempts to deceive voters rather than a call for us to embody our deepest principles as Americans.
And yes, that is true for the Democrats as well. I fully support the same standards for truthfulness being applied to Hillary.
If Donald Trump's loose relationship with the truth is not addressed internally, it will create long-term damage the Republican Party and also set a dangerous precedent for future political candidates.
I say that even while recognizing that Trump does have many positive qualities that came to the foreground through speeches from his family and friends like Tom Barrack. I did witness and acknowledge the good that people see in him.
To hold Trump accountable to telling the truth is the courageous path, one walked by Abraham Lincoln. It is a path that demonstrates moral righteousness rather than simply preaching it.
It is not only the job of the media to monitor Donald Trump and ensure that he is telling the truth. It is actually and most fundamentally the job of Republicans who want to ensure the rule of law, the integrity of our system, and the protection of our democracy.
Honesty is the most basic requirement for democracy to be successful. Honesty is not a left or right value. It is an American value and it is at the core of who we are.
If our political leaders put other agendas before speaking honestly with us, it erodes our confidence in the system and undermines our participation. It weakens America like a kind of systemic poison.
It, in fact, contributes to law-breaking and disorder as people who feel deceived are more likely to create chaos. When it comes to the job of President, lies can get us into wars, leading to massive loss of life and resources.
In many ways, a propensity to lie is the single most dangerous trait in a President.
If we are to increase law and order in America, as Trump champions, it has to begin with a fearless, profound, and deep commitment to the full truth and nothing but the truth.
The exaggerations and distortions need to end and the past lies need to be addressed honestly. We cannot entrust the highest level of American power — with its capacity to end the human race — to someone who will lie brazenly and repeatedly to the American people.
Lying by politicians may actually be the single best threat to our liberty because if we cannot trust the truthfulness of what our leaders are telling us, then we cannot make wise decisions about how to vote.
Simply put, we need to now restore the trust of the American voter by making it clear that politicians must speak the truth.
As I thought about all this while in bed after the final night, it occurred to me that what we really need to do is have an Honest Abe Pledge, which can be a tranpartisan rallying call.
Abraham Lincoln makes the short list of most admired Presidents on both the right and left and is considered our most honest politician in history.
It could go like this:
"Based on my deep respect for our American democracy and the need for wisdom, integrity, and trust to be a bedrock of our political process, I commit to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in a respectful manner when participating in politics. I also agree to hold others who have taken the pledge accountable, including those from my own party."
Getting our candidates, representatives AND fellow citizens to sign and enact that pledge would be a game changer and clean up what has become a toxic stew of lies, distortions, and exaggerations.
That is a reform that BOTH parties should be able to sign onto, a unifying pledge that can help to shift the deep suspicion American have of our political leaders, parties, and process.
Because Trump ranks at the lowest rung of politicians and the Party of Honest Abe has now backed him as its candidate, the Republican Party cannot afford to "lead from behind" on this issue.
It is time to stand up and commit to the honesty that is required for wise decision-making and demonstrate the leadership that calls the Democratic Party to do the same. There is nothing more important for American citizens to know than the full truth in order to preserve our precious democracy.

Funny funny news
New Zealand's youngest parliamentarian since 1975, Chlöe Swarbrick, spoke in parliament on Tuesday in favour of an ambitious law that sets the country's target carbon emissions at zero by 2050.
The 25-year-old Greens MP was talking about her frustration with the political inaction by older generations – particularly the ones who are in parliament – when she was heckled by one of the men she was putting on blast.
Her response? "OK boomer."
The video of Swarbrick shutting down her heckling colleague quickly went viral. She spoke to BuzzFeed News about the meme, why her use of it resonated so much, and the response she got from baby boomers.
Your "OK boomer" response has gone viral. When did you first realise it was getting attention?
It was probably when my old man texted me letting me know about it. He's got Google Alerts on for me, where he semi-regularly starts a one man protest about what he perceived as unfair reporting about me. It was quite funny and interesting and bewildering that two words were far more interesting to the rest of the world than the legislation we passed.

Take us through the moment. Why did you say it?
I have a little brother who first told me about it. He's 13 years old and on TikTok. Before I said it, I had become familiar with the term about a week prior, popping up in social media, and I'd read a few articles about it. It was interesting, a seeming zeitgeist moment.
I don't often reference my age in parliament. Usually others do it for me. But thinking about how frequently the debate about climate is viewed through a short-term political lens, it made sense to point out how ridiculous it was to have a parliament with an average age of, well, they aren't spring chickens, some of whom are trying to water down climate action and weaken it.
So it came up, when, in the middle of my speech on intergenerational inequality, some members started chucking around some argy-bargy. I felt like throwing back, so that's when I said it.
There was a moment of stunned silence as they figured out what it meant. So, that allowed me to finish my speech in peace.
You told the heckler "OK boomer" after you were interrupted talking about how the baby boomer political leaders had not taken action on climate change. How did it feel to respond like that?
I do regularly respond when I'm interrupted. It's not the first time that I've addressed people heckling me. But it is the first time that it's been picked up outside of the chamber. And I think that's because of firstly, I guess, the big-time meme and secondly, hopefully, the huge impact of climate change that's being borne by younger generations.
Had you thought about saying it before?
It was literally a spur of the moment thing. I had been made aware of it as a result of a conversation with my little brother, so I guess it was in my consciousness.
Have you had to explain "OK boomer" to your colleagues?
None of them picked up on it at the time, but of course the internet did. There were a few tweets about it in NZ political circles, having a laugh. Then the political youth started weighing in and it really spiralled out of control.
How did other parliamentarians react? Did any of them complain or congratulate you?
Most just took in good humour. Heckling and responding is just part of the cut and thrust of the day. People will just have a crack at you and you sometimes do need to respond. Some folks from the opposition were trying to shut me down while I'm talking about climate inaction, so I called it out. But if you look at my emails as it started being picked up by American media, it's interesting what I got.
Let's talk about those responses. You posted a video of the moment to your social media accounts and I went through the comments and it seems like there are heaps of people cheering on what you said. But, have you heard from baby boomers?
I have heard from a number of older people, from those who found it not [to] their taste, to others who cheered it on. I've tried to respond to all of them and explain the meme. The reality is that it's [an] expression of so much frustration from generations. I'm talking about Gen X, millennials and Gen Zers who are just frustrated about the lack of urgent action on climate change and growing inequality. They're sick of being dismissed, ironically for not having enough life experience.
Is there anyone else you'd like to say "OK boomer" to?
Oh, I'm not sure. I think I might be responsible for killing the meme. I'm not planning on dropping another meme any time soon — I suppose one way to ensure the swift death of a meme is to include it in a politician's regular vernacular.
Why do you think "OK boomer" has been getting such a reaction?
It is a relatively innocuous pair of words. I think that for some, it signals the absolute sense of exhaustion with having to articulate time and time again that things never seem to change on a systemic level, and then being met with dismissal.
At the start of the interview, you said you found it funny that the two words got more attention than the significant piece of climate change legislation that the New Zealand parliament passed this week. Why is that?
We passed that significant piece of law to get our country to carbon neutrality by 2050 almost unanimously, which I think is huge and monumental for a tiny country at the bottom of the Pacific. The importance of doing that … is to show other countries and their citizens what is possible if they demand their governments do the same.
I think that hopefully, even though it's riled a few people up, it serves to start more of a conversation about generational equity and the need to have a longer view or vision or perspective about the impact of a policy.
If I may, I'd also like to say to young people who are frustrated with their political leaders, that the devastating irony when you see older, supposedly wiser people or politicians shutting me or you down, when politicians are refusing to meaningfully engage with the public or behaving badly, everyday people switch off, and the poorly behaved decision makers get away scot free. They have an excuse to maintain the status quo, because they've got rid of those putting their feet to the fire in demanding progressive change. The only way to actually achieve the political action we desperately need is for those younger generations [to] get active.
