The last 6 months of my life have been a huge transition period for me, in learning to become a more happy mom, despite a chronic illness that has entered into my life. Despite my struggles, I've started to glimpse what happiness really is and unfortunately I had to reach my all-time low to figure it all out.
The thing is….motherhood is really challenging. That will never change. I'm not about to give magical tips with a promise that motherhood will turn into a blissful walk in the park. But what I have learned, is that you can feel powerful joy and happiness–even on the hard days. It just takes practice.
Who are YOU? This is huge. Because parenting can be so demanding, many parents get lost in the day-to-day tasks and forget who they were before they became a parent. Do you have hobbies? Things you enjoy doing? Are you doing them? If not, something needs to change. As humans, we are made to be unique and creative. We all came here with unique personalities for a reason! We were meant to progress and BECOME! If your day never varies beyond sippy cups, diaper changes, and Curious George, then of course it will be more challenging to be a happy mom! For me personally, I find great pleasure in starting a business in the evening hours after my kids went to bed. It stretches me, causes me to think more deeply, and also encourages me to use my creative mind. I also found that making time to sit by myself and read an inspiring book, has made a huge difference in becoming a more happy mom. Think of at least one thing that you would really enjoy doing if you had time to yourself, and make sure to find a way to do it! Even if you have to trade babysitting with another mom, get your spouse to give you a night off, or hire a babysitter every now and then during the day. Whatever you do, don't give into GUILT for doing something for yourself. When you do things that contribute to being a more happy mom, your children naturally benefit. There may be times that you need to find balance and tweak how you do things, but don't ever give up your identity as a creative being beyond just being a "mom." You have several more titles!
It's still amazing to me the shifts that occurred in my life once I took control over my thoughts. My symptoms became much more manageable (and even non-existent at times), and my life became happy and exciting. When I found myself with thoughts like "my health is horrible," I would quickly change it to, "My body is healing. I'm grateful for the journey." IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE! My body started listening to what I was telling it, and I have experienced a lot of positive change from my thoughts alone. If you read my article on getting rid of shame-based thoughts, you can learn more about how I started to change my thoughts. This has been the number one contributor in becoming a more joyful, happy mom.
Be Active. This last tip isn't just about exercise, although I do consider exercise to be a big part of mental health. No, when I say "be active," I'm more talking about being actively connected to your body and what's going on. Tap in the the emotions you are feeling and give them a label. Things like, "I'm feeling tired" or "I'm feeling frustrated." Make sure you label what you are feeling, rather than attributing feelings to what you ARE ("I am frustrated"). Once you have labeled them, give gratitude for them, and release them. The gratitude part is important–being able to feel emotions is a blessing. It's once we start to stuff our emotions and become numb, that our ability to feel real joy and happiness is limited. My greatest tool for emotional health, is to connect with nature or do yoga…..as hippie as that may sound. It totally works. I never used to do yoga because I considered it the "sissy exercise" and thought it was boring. Now my body craves it. It is my favorite form of exercise because you are getting mental and emotional benefits with the physical. Every time I do yoga, I use this time to practice positive mental thoughts and imagery. When I am in a mountain pose, I imagine angels lifting me and stabalizing me. When my arms are outstretched, I imagine myself releasing stress or negative emotions and energies. When I am in a position with my head bowed, I imagine myself asking God for help, and giving me strength where I may fall short. THIS HAS BEEN VERY POWERFUL FOR ME. At first I just did it because I figured it couldn't hurt, but now I know it works. Powerfully. Especially when done consistently. For me it is a form of prayer and mediation and as a benefit my body is also becoming stronger and more flexible. It sets intention for my life, and gives my body a path for healing.

Lionel Messi is worth it – Bartomeu
Barcelona star Lionel Messi
Barcelona can afford Lionel Messi's new contract, despite the club's wage bill being above the recommended limit, according to president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
The Argentina star at last ended speculation over his future by signing a new four-year deal with the Catalans this week.
The 30-year-old will reportedly earn close to €565,000 a week until June 2021, making him the highest-paid player in European football and behind only compatriots Carlos Tevez and Ezequiel Lavezzi on the global stage.
A delay in negotiating Messi's new deal prompted speculation Barca were struggling to free up funds to give him the wages he wanted, while a protracted legal case with Spanish tax authorities led to rumours he could leave Spain.
However, Bartomeu insists Messi always wanted to stay at Camp Nou and has denied suggestions his salary could put them in jeopardy with Uefa's financial fair play regulations.
"It started several months ago when I told his father, Jorge, that we had to sit down," he told Mundo Deportivo. "Everyone knows Leo had a bad summer last year with the tax problems he suffered. We let some months pass so that the timing was balanced and then I told Jorge that we had to start talking about the renewal, and he told me to talk to his son.
"I talked to Leo and asked how he was, because of what had gone on. I told him we had to talk about the future. He replied: 'I want to stay here. Talk to my dad.' And that's it.
"We can't reveal how much Messi costs the clu,b but he's the best player in the world and he costs what the best player in the world and the history of football should. Nobody brings to their club what Leo Messi brings.
"The LFP and Uefa make recommendations, but nobody sets a salary cap. We are above what is recommended, but the important thing is to be sustainable. We can afford it."
Bartomeu also rubbished claims that Messi has made demands over Barca's transfer policy before next season.
"Messi has not asked for any specific signings. Messi and his teammates talk about players when they meet them, but the one here who watches players and who signs them is [sporting director] Robert Fernandez," he said.
"Ronaldinho brought the smile and the magic, [Andres] Iniesta the balance and Leo the art and the genius. Ronnie started this change, but the one who changed the tone of Barca is Messi. This is the age of Messi.
"With Leo, the concept that the world has had of Barca has changed. Leo would be the mother of all Barca icons, shining on them all."

Love, Science & Nat 20s
The family life of a bunch of nerds.
April 14, 2018 / lovescienceandnat20s
Every now and again, I get all cosmological about the passage of time. I'm 34 years old right now, but 17–technically half my life ago–seems like it was yesterday, and 40 seems a lifetime away. Time is such a weird, subjective thing, passing quickly or slowly but really, it's all the same pace, no matter how it feels.
Which is all an "it's the middle of the night and how do I words?" way of saying that the twins are somehow already a month old.
Probably because we spent two weeks of this month with them living away from us, it feels like it's gone by very quickly. Probably also because we got into our shifts routine from the get-go instead of flailing for a month and then realizing, "Well, duh," it's been a lot less painful and far smoother than it was with Sam. And, of course, there are the added bonuses of me not being depressed, Kyle having six weeks of paternity leave, and the twins already being settled in a routine that Sam took a good three months to reach.
Still. A month.
The weirdest part about them being a month old is that they aren't technically due to be born for another 11 days. Part of me can imagine how miserable that would be but the rest of me doesn't want to.
See, Kyle has it all figured out. I'm completely miserable when I'm pregnant because my body is just too good at being pregnant. With these two miracles that were a one in a million chance (the odds are probably even crazier than that; I've told Kyle multiple times, we really need to get on playing the lottery), they drained my body of so much of what they needed that I just felt a disaster all the time. Everyone was super complimentary of their umbilical cords (literally the weirdest thing I've ever been complimented on, and yes, this includes the time an ultrasound tech called my cervix "beautiful" and the time a guy spent 20 minutes complimenting my butt instead of making my grilled cheese sandwich, like come on, guy, if you want my butt to stay hotter than heat, make me my freaking sandwich already), and Kyle looked at that and decided that my body grows babies very well. It's just not very good at taking care of itself at the same time.
(this is Bella Swan being pregnant with a mutant half-vampire baby that's eating her from the inside. It's also a good idea of what I'm like when I'm pregnant)
So if I'd gone all the way to April 25, I'd be carrying not one but two huge babies (probably Sam's size–8 lbs, 11 oz.–maybe more) and I'd probably have put myself on bedrest, which I hate doing, but I was miserable enough by the actual end of this pregnancy that I could barely go to the bathroom without pain, so life would've been terrible.
The "correct" thing to say about my pregnancy is "oh, I wish I'd been able to keep them in longer so they could've been healthier at birth," but honestly? I don't wish that at all. We were lucky as hell that things went as well as they did, but things did go well. The twins have always been wonderfully healthy, even in the NICU. They were born at good weights for their age, and I feel like if they'd stayed in longer, they wouldn't have been as healthy. Everyone was running out of space, and I was running out of resources to give them.
(like I guess they could've taken my fat cells, I wouldn't have complained about that, but I don't know how nutritionally beneficial those are)
The "correct" thing is also to say that I wish I could've delivered them vaginally, but I… don't? At all? I know that I probably could have delivered them vaginally, even with Carrie being breech, but I'm the oddball in the world who was so miserable beforehand that the C-section was actually a really positive experience. And that may be because I'd built it up in my mind to be this terrifying thing, but I can say with all honesty that it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I'd expected. Obviously, my experience isn't universal, and I know I'd have thought differently if I hadn't had the two weeks the twins were in the hospital to recover (like seriously, it's all been nat 20s the way this worked out), but as it stands?
It's the same with formula feeding, though I feel a little bolder talking about that one (because people are a great deal more understanding when you say, "well, they're NICU babies so we need to keep strict track of how many calories they get, and also I have crappy production because my PCOS is a bitch like that"). I have good reasons for not breastfeeding, but I also have not "good" reasons, especially now that I know my babies.
Isaac would be a champion breastfeeder, honestly. He's always got a good latch on his bottles (the Tommee Tippee ones we got because they're boob-shaped), and he's good at working for his food. He's a quick eater, too, and is usually done within 10-15 minutes of starting, because, again, he works for his food. He ends up being the first on the feeding docket for that reason, and he also ends up with a lot of cuddle and playtime in between feedings because he finishes quickly.
Carrie, on the other hand, is… well, she's a pokey feeder, pokey like slowpoke. She's lazy about getting her food and prefers to suck juuuuuust enough to get the formula going and then kind of let it flow. This is a highly inefficient way of eating, so while she sometimes manages a quick feed, she's usually working at it for 30-40 minutes and even then, not getting everything we make because she falls asleep and won't open up again. So with her laziness, feeds end up taking well over an hour, and I can't imagine how much more it would be if we were dealing with my supply issues and the boob wrestling that is breastfeeding.
A huge contributing factor in my postpartum depression four years ago was that my body still wasn't mine, even after 10 miserable months of pregnancy. I love being Sam's mom, and that was just as true back then, but when you're spending the majority of your day just trying to get food into someone or pump food for later, it takes a toll. Being able to take a break, to put these two down, to ask Kyle or my mom to take a feed–that's been so incredible. It allows me to spend more time with Sam, allows us to take shifts so that we're not overtired, allows us to still be ourselves even with twins.
The twins are opposites, personality-wise, of what I'd have expected them to be based on their behavior when I was carrying them. Isaac is loud and flaily; if he has a problem, the whole house knows it. He rarely goes on an actual crying jag, just usually lets out a "AOUW" of anger if he's unhappy with his circumstances (for reasons like "you're changing my diaper instead of feeding me" or "I seem to have spit out my pacifier. Yes, the one you put in my mouth 30 seconds ago. Is that a problem?"), but it's a loud AOUW. He also squirms a lot; he's eager to be mobile and sitting up. This is only a problem if I'm changing him on the couch, which I had to do for a couple of weeks because my C-section scar hurt like the dickens if I changed him anywhere else. Otherwise, it's just kind of hilarious because he gets himself into these positions like a husky, where you wonder, "how are you possibly comfortable like that?" but he seems content.
He also likes to be held. They both do, but Isaac is more curious about it, probably because he spent the first two weeks of his life being disinterested in the world beyond a bottle and sleeping. He quiets right down if I'm holding him, but he doesn't like to rest on his tummy on my chest, instead preferring to be cradled in my arms. He's come close to smiling already, which is a delight.
And Carrie… well, everything Isaac is, she isn't. She doesn't cry unless we're changing her diaper because of the nasty diaper rash she developed (like… layers of skin missing nasty, because she poops so often that we can't catch it in time to keep things from getting bad, but it's healing well because Aquaphor, and remember when I used to talk about things like whether or not all literature is time-bound, because I do); otherwise, she just quietly fusses. She doesn't like to burp the way Isaac does, so it becomes a challenge at mealtime to try and get her to let some gas out and keep eating. She's quiet before a feed, looking around and watching everything, but having a full tummy makes her sleepy, and it's rare that she's really awake after she eats.
Which is when I put her on my chest, because while Isaac isn't a fan, Carrie loves being beaned up and hearing my heartbeat. And I'll be honest: I love it, too. She's a little warm bundle that's like a kitten but larger, and she lets out contented little sighs but is otherwise so quiet that she might as well be a little doll.
So that's the twins. On Sam's side of things, he's adjusting better. Nights are the worst time for him–last night, he came downstairs 99% asleep because he had a nightmare that Kyle left and didn't come back, which… yeah, the hospital stay really messed with him. I'm inclined to just let him sleep in our bed or downstairs with whomever is up with the twins until he reaches a point where he feels adjusted and not like he's going to lose us at any given moment. This may be soft and squishy of me (and Kyle worries that he'll just be sleeping in our bed forever), but… well, honestly, my brain is too overfull with twin care worries and Sam care worries to dive into strictly sending my terrified son back to his bed when he has a nightmare.
During the day, he's at least improved his behavior somewhat. He's become a great helper with the twins–he likes to figure out which one is crying and why and then solve that problem. He still hasn't held them, and I can tell he's nervous about it, probably because he knows it means sitting still and he's not very good at that. BUT he's really affectionate with them otherwise: lots of kisses, lots of tickles, and he holds their hands when they're out of the cribs and crying. He's also moved back towards his usual level of potty trained (ie., will go when we remind him and sometimes when we don't), and everyone is relieved about that.
Kyle and I are almost literally ships in the night, but we steal moments when we can. My mom came by to watch the three kids (I have three kids and that's weird because a month ago, I just had one) so Kyle and I could go out on our own. And it was nice, and somehow, despite the stresses of having three kids out of nowhere and me recuperating from a C-section and having three kids and two of them are infants and one is an almost-four-year-old who's having separation anxiety, we still rather like each other.
I reminded him the other day that, as stressful as this first chunk of time is, it's going by very quickly. The twins are a month old now; that means they're that much closer to sleeping through the night, to graduating from formula to real food, to communicating in ways that aren't crying. And while I don't hate the newborn stage, especially with them being such good babies, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next: what kind of babies and toddlers and kids will they be? Will they get along with Sam and with each other? What comes next?
(annnnnnd now I'm going to sing all of Hamilton to nobody)
Because, really, that's the exciting part.

Measles Outbreaks and Vaccinations: Does it Change Anything?
| by Steve Graff
In most communities in the United States today, the measles vaccination rate is a relatively high 94 percent. But some areas fall short of that average for various reasons: lack of awareness, lack of access, and a growing vaccine refusal movement. With one of the lowest vaccination rates, Pennsylvania currently hovers around 87 percent; Colorado and Arkansas are at 86 percent. Coverage can be even lower at the county level, particularly in Oregon and Washington.
So, in the aftermath of the Disneyland outbreak – which eventually sickened 147 people across seven states – does all the heightened awareness around vaccines change attitudes? Could these events ultimately impact vaccination rates?
While it's too soon to tell if we'll see an uptick or decline in rates, research suggests that past outbreaks have done little to move the needle, said Alison Buttenheim, PhD, MBA, an assistant professor of Nursing at Penn's School of Nursing.
"While I would be delighted to be proven wrong, I think there are…reasons why we won't see a lasting impact of the outbreak on exemption or refusal rates," Buttenheim recently wrote in a post featured on Penn's Leonard David Institute of Health Economics blog. A vaccine refusal researcher who focuses mainly on California, she couldn't find any evidence that the highly-publicized 2008 outbreak in San Diego had an impact.
"Our attention spans are limited. And the media moves on eventually," she said.
People are also often set in their ways, and more education about vaccines and media coverage isn't likely to sway parents, unless perhaps they have a child who is approaching the vaccination age and are truly on the fence, Buttenheim said. The so-called anti-vaxxers tend to stay in their corner, and the pro-vaccinators do the same, many researchers agree.
"It's very hard to change minds that are already made up," Buttenheim said. "If you believe that vaccines are unsafe or unnecessary, more evidence to the contrary is not going to change those beliefs – in fact, it might do the opposite."
Indeed, a recent study in Pediatrics from Jessica Fishman, PhD, from the departments of Psychiatry and Biostatistics and Epidemiology, and Ian Frank, MD, a professor in the division of Infectious Diseases at the Perelman School of Medicine, and colleagues found that parents with more knowledge about vaccinations and infectious diseases (in that case, it was HPV) were not more likely to vaccinate their children.
There are differences with this outbreak, however, that the public health community has taken notice of.
We're dealing with very high numbers. There were more than 600 measles cases in 2014, when the U.S. experienced 23 outbreaks, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since January 1, 2015, there has been a total of 159 confirmed cases through April 3, most of which are related to the Disneyland outbreak.
We've haven't seen such numbers in almost 20 years, according to the CDC, which is, of course, taking it very seriously. In February, Tom Frieden, director of the CDC, went on CBS' Face the Nation to express his concern over a potential larger outbreak because of the growing number of people who are not vaccinated. To compare, there were fewer than 50 cases in 2012.
With that, the media coverage becomes more widespread. And Disneyland makes a great headline.
The relatively newer, far-reaching tentacles of social media are a factor not to be ignored either.
Our social media feeds were, and in some cases still are, populated with vaccine arguments, from celebrity voices to infographics that help explain the role of herd immunity. It's been an avalanche of stories, gaining momentum with every share, retweet, post, blog, etc. that follows. We're buried underneath it all for a lot longer than we were even three or four years ago.
What's more, many doctors took to social media when the Disneyland story broke in early January. They shared thousands of articles and links throughout February and their tweets, with the exception of two days during that month, even outpaced those of the media, a report from MDigitalLife found. Much of those tweets revolved around "false balance" complaints, because many journalists were giving equal weight to the anti-vaccine argument, which gives the impression that there is truth to many of the claims that science has debunked.
"It's not known whom and what social media influences with respect to vaccinations, but it's certainly something that researchers are interested in investigating further," Buttenheim said.
One thing to note is the type of information we are drawn to. "We tend to look for, screen for, pay attention to, and believe tweets or other information that confirms (rather than challenges) our pre-existing beliefs," she added.
Think about it: many people follow friends, organizations, and outlets that fall in line with their beliefs. So is social media really showing us another perspective? An old headline from Wired magazine perhaps says it all: "The web's 'echo chamber' leaves us none the wiser."
Still, in the age of hashtags (click on #vaccines or #measles and you're going to get everything—from the doctors, media, activists, celebrities, etc.) and "here's my side of the story" comments on posts and stories, we're still getting some dose of whatever side we don't agree with.
Now, whether this encourages or discourages parents to get their children vaccinated remains to be seen.
"The outbreak has certainly generated some conversation among my colleagues and with some patients," said Stephen Gluckman, MD, an infectious disease doctor at Penn Medicine. "As you might imagine, the discussion has been overwhelming negative about parents who do not vaccinate their children."
Children should be vaccinated, he said, and not vaccinating yourself or your children puts the rest of society at high risk.
Whether vaccination rates have gone up or down will be revealed when CDC surveillance data for 2015 comes out next year. Though it didn't address rates, a recent survey did point to an early sign of a potential, positive shift.
A small HealthDay News/Harris Poll of 2,000 adults published last month found that more Americans now say they have positive feelings toward vaccinations. The poll found that 87 percent of those surveyed said vaccines are safe—which is up from 77 percent from a similar poll last year.
"I think the measles outbreak is causing some people to re-examine their 'facts' about childhood vaccinations," Aaron Glatt, MD, a spokesman for the Infectious Diseases Society of America, told HealthDay last month. "Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a scare."

It is a collection of metabolic disorders in a person, including high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, abdominal obesity and elevated blood sugar. Metabolic syndrome is also known as insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and syndrome X. People with metabolic syndrome are at greatly increased risk of a heart attack and type 2 diabetes.
Metabolic syndrome is also known as insulin resistance and syndrome X. It occurs when the body produces abnormally high levels of insulin. Due to modern diets and lifestyles, nearly everybody produces more insulin in their pancreas than they should. This is a problem because if blood insulin levels have been high for years, the cells of your body start to ignore it. The insulin becomes less and less effective at its important job in your body (getting glucose inside your cells so you can burn it for energy).
Knowing whether or not you have too high insulin is important because it can allow you to make some changes and avoid some serious health problems in the future. People with insulin resistance are at significantly increased risk of developing a fatty liver. The high insulin triggers the liver to manufacture more fat.
A healthy liver helps to control your blood sugar level. If you have not eaten for several hours, your liver is supposed to release some stored glucose into your bloodstream to give you energy and keep hunger at bay. People with a sluggish liver struggle with this and they often feel excessively hungry, weak or irritable if they have gone several hours without food. It makes sticking to a diet extremely difficult! To help improve your liver health I recommend you follow the diet in my book Fatty Liver You Can Reverse It. It is not a difficult eating plan to stick to and you should not feel hungry.
Taking a good quality liver tonic like Livatone Plus will provide the nutrients your liver requires in order to burn fat and detoxify your bloodstream more effectively.
Being deficient in magnesium promotes high blood pressure, and this worsens metabolic syndrome and places a strain on the heart. People with metabolic syndrome are also known to have elevated levels of inflammation in their body.
C-reactive protein is one marker of inflammation that is known to raise the risk of heart attacks and strokes. People who are magnesium deficient experience more inflammation, while supplementing with magnesium helps to bring down C-reactive protein. Lowered inflammation also means less aches and pains and less fatigue.
That means magnesium not only helps to protect your heart; it can help you feel healthier and more energetic . Green leafy vegetables and nuts are a great source of magnesium. If you don't consume enough of these foods, a magnesium supplement may help you.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX7
A high-resolution digicam that is small enough to slip into a shirt pocket and offers Full HD video recording.The Cyber-shot DSC-WX7 is one of five 16.2-megapixel cameras announced by Sony at the CES Show in January. Designed primarily for snapshooters, it's the first to be available for review and also claims status as the first compact digicam with a 3D Still Image mode that can record stereo pairs with only one lens and sensor.
Casio EX-Z55
Casio's EX-Z55 sports a lightweight aluminium body with a large 2.5-inch colour LCD and small optical viewfinder. It comes with 9.3MB of internal memory (enough for four high-resolution images) and an SD/MMC card slot. The retracting smc Pentax 3x zoom lens is reasonably fast and the camera is supplied with a docking cradle for downloading pictures and recharging the battery.
Casio Exilim EX-Z850
More adjustable controls than any other slimline digicam plus above average imaging performance.Casio has packed a surprising number of controls and functions into its Exilim EX-Z850 camera, which has an 8.1-megapixel CCD and 3x optical zoom lens. The sensor is larger than average, promising a wide dynamic range and low image noise. The camera's well-designed, all-metal body sports a bright, 2.5-inch LCD, a very small optical viewfinder and a mode dial with eight positions.
Casio EX-P600
With its compact metal body and retracting Canon lens, Casio's Exilim EX-P600 is an excellent travellers' camera. Six resolution sizes are supported, with three JPEG compression levels plus an uncompressed TIFF format at all resolutions. The menu system is outstanding and the large 2-inch LCD screen is easy to view, even in bright conditions. The mode dial accesses full auto, Best Shot, aperture (A) and shutter (S) priority auto and manual (M) modes, along with movie and voice recording. In the A, S and M modes, pressing the OK button calls up a Manual Assist On-screen Guidance display that shows samples of the extremes of the selected control. Movies are recorded at QVGA resolution and you can add up to 30 seconds of audio to snapshots in the WAVE/ADPCM recording format.
An attractive, well-designed, slimline camera for novice photographers.Available in silver, blue, brown, black and red, Casio's Exilim EX-Z600 is easily pocketable digicams and offers some handy features for snapshooters. Supplied with a USB cradle/battery charger, it boasts a 2.7-inch Super Bright LCD screen (but no viewfinder) and a fully-retracting, 3x optical zoom lens. Users can call up a rule-of-thirds grid on the LCD along with an intensity/RGB histogram. Multi-point and spot AF modes are provided, the former indicating areas used for focusing.
A lightweight, easy-to-operate DSLR with high resolution for creative photography.Canon's EOS 550D slips into the company's line-up between the EOS 500D and the EOS 50D and offers higher resolution than both models without displacing either. It boasts the same 18-megapizel sensor as the EOS 7D but has only one DiG!C 4 processor. A key feature is the addition of a new, high-resolution 3:2 aspect ratio LCD monitor and a redesigned interface. Video capabilities have also been extended to support Full HD movie recording at a range of different frame rates.
A competitively-priced entry-level DSLR that provides a good price/performance ratio for first-DSLR buyers.Replacing the popular EOS 400D at the entry level of Canon's DSLR range, the EOS 1000D brings yet another level to Canon's DSLR nomenclature, reflecting the days of film, when Canon's lowest-priced SLR cameras had four-figure model names. The 1000D has been designed for photographers who want to upgrade from a digicam to a more capable, better performing DSLR. It boasts the same 10.1-megapixel imager as the 400D but is smaller and lighter and supports Live View shooting.
Canon PowerShot A650 IS
An affordably-priced, high-resolution digicam with 21 shooting modes, Face Detect AF/AE technology and in-camera red-eye correction.Canon's PowerShot A650 IS replaces two earlier models, the 10-megapixel PowerShot A640 and 8-megapixel PowerShot A630, bringing higher resolution (12-megapixels), a longer 6x optical zoom lens and optical image stabilisation. It retains the 2.5-inch vari-angle LCD of its predecessors but has a new DiG!C III image processor. It's also 55 grams heavier, with a significantly larger body.
A budget-priced tele-zoom lens with built-in image stabilisation.Canon's new EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS is designed specifically for cameras with 'APS-C' sized sensors and combines light weight with a very low price tag for an optically-stabilised lens. On the EOS 400D and 40D cameras we used for our tests, its focal length range is equivalent to 88-400mm on a 35mm camera. It's a fairly slow lens – and this is apparent in the viewfinder when you're shooting.
Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens
A first-rate wide-angle zoom for DSLRs with 'APS-C' sized imagers.The 'EF-S' designation is Canon's way of labelling lenses with Short Back Focus, which indicates the distance between the sensor plane and the rear element of the lens is shorter than in an EF lens. Such lenses are designed exclusively for EOS cameras with 'APS-C-sized' sensors and cannot be used on Canon's 35mm SLR cameras – or on the EOS 5D. The new EF-S 10-22mm ultra-wide-angle zoom lens covers fields of view equivalent to 16-35mm in 135mm format. An excellent partner to the EOS 400D we used for our tests, its wide angle of view is great for landscape and architectural photography, especially indoor shots.

I find it hard to remember which boxsets I've submitted that are still pending approval. It'd be useful if you could add a filter so you can see exactly which those titles are.
That is quite difficult, because the client does not know unless it is queries the service.
But we are looking at creating some kind of info the top when editing a title, if it is still in queue, or, if another title in the service is in queue with same country and barcode.
I get that it might be difficult for titles that you've submitted, maybe it's more feasible to add a boolean in either the local db or as personal data for titles as you submit them when they require approval, that way the program only needs to check if those titles have been approved when you start the program or press sync.
Thanks! Just knowing that it is pending approval rather than "not found" would be a huge help.
This is in the Pre release made available today..
This works great, thanks! Is it possible to add a filter for this for easier overview?
Unfortunately not, as it is real-time async request to the service when opening the title.


This morning I decided to go ahead and get up when Jason did (just after 5) to do some cross-training rather than running. He went off to swim and I did some kickboxing in my little gym room.
I went with Cathe Friedrich's MMA Kickboxing. I use 1 lb weighted gloves for my boxing or kickboxing workouts. It really adds on additional intensity and makes for an awesome upper body and core workout.
I gotta say, starting the day punching and kicking leaves you stress-free ;-) It was a good workout. At first I was sort of thinking I should have stayed in bed, not that I was sleeping mind you. But, I'm glad I got it done. It was definitely energizing.
At lunch, I decided to run home and do my back and triceps workout rather than go up to my gym. Right now it is not staffed (it's closing July 1), there are no towels, nothing to spray to wipe down equipment, who knows when anything was cleaned last. It's just depressing and not motivating.
So, home it was with my own music and a fan. Since I didn't have the assisted pullup option or a barbell, I had to go back to old school basics with my dumbbells. I did giant sets of 3x8 and then did abs at the end.
I did add in 3 sets of 10 reps of low back extension on my stability ball. And despite not having a barbell or a way to do pullups, I actually felt like I worked my back a lot better today than I've been doing. Maybe just the slight change in using the dumbbells.
After work today I headed over to my favorite running store, GO!, to pick up some new shoes. I usually try to keep two pairs that I rotate out. The oldest pair is pretty much done. I tried running in them on Monday and realized that they were toast.
So, time to get a new pair. I'll wear the new ones for long runs now and the older for shorter runs. This seems to work out pretty well for me, extending the life just a little bit longer I think.
After the running store, I got groceries. I went to the Kroger right by the running store because I've gotten pretty fed up with the parking situation at the one nearer to my house. This particular store, however, doesn't carry a lot of the vegetarian/vegan items I like so that means a trip to Whole Foods down the road.
Last Thursday I blogged about trying to enjoy the moment rather than wishing it away for better days, or for the weekend. So while every day can't be the weekend, it doesn't mean that the weekday should be blah and boring right?
Rather than do the same old thing, go home, make dinner, sit on the couch and blog a bit, maybe catch up on a show, read, go to sleep. I thought we would make the evening more special. Not a full on date or anything, but something outside the day-to-day rut.
I don't know exactly what we'll do yet. Maybe a glass of wine at a wine bar or just cook dinner together and enjoy at the dining table, no tv. One thing I will be doing is disconnecting though. Living in the moment.

In 2002, Dave Shea set out with a mission. He wanted to prove that standards-based websites didn't necessarily mean dull design. So he created The CSS Zen Garden composed purely of compliant, well-formed HTML, upon which users could apply their own stylesheets and submit them to the site for inclusion in a big catalog of themed variations on the main page. Much to his dismay, his initial prototypes turned out to be mindnumbingly dull, shackled as they were by the rather limited and hugely varied CSS support offered by the motley crew of web browsers available at the time: the main issue was that it wasn't possible to add imagery to the pages via CSS. Various ingenious hacks and workarounds later, and with steadily improving CSS support in today's browsers, the Zen Garden soon began to strut its stuff and to live up to its original goal.
The Zen of CSS Design is, essentially, the book of the website. As with the website, the book isn't about the technical details of CSS, it's about design (the clue is in the book's title, of course). Sure, there's plenty of CSS markup in the book, nicely laid out to demonstrate how each aspect of each featured site works. But the bulk of the book describes each site from a graphical and usability perspective, and goes into detail on some important lessons in website design.
As such, this book isn't for novices looking for an introduction to CSS, although website designers learning CSS who want to become good at it definitely should also read this book.
The CSS markup itself – the implementation, the technical gubbins – is important, but it's only one half of the story. You can have all the technical proficiency in the world, but your website may still look like a dog's dinner. This book very much fills that other half of the story. Its mission is to inspire web designers to create interesting, well-designed, standards-based websites, by showcasing existing designs, discussing the finer points of each design, highlighting important lessons, and then walking briefly through how it's done.
You might think that a book which is primarily an in-print version of a website wouldn't be much use; but the book is well thought out, obviously not just a case of loading the website in a browser and selecting "File..Print". Instead, the authors have adapted the content to take advantage of the print medium, with explanatory text arranged in a grid layout around each showcased web page design. The result is pleasant on the eye and surprisingly easy to read.
Dave Shea would probably never forgive me for describing Zen of CSS Design as a coffee-table book, but in the best possible ways that's exactly what it is – a beautifully presented, glossy, full-color book that you can dip into in no particular order. In fact, in the book's introduction, the authors suggest that this is one of the ways the book can be read. Nothing wrong with that; it's refreshing to be able to simply pick up a book, flip through it until a page happens to catch your eye, and gain something valuable from that page – without getting all confused because you've missed some vital theme or other that's been built on in previous chapters.
Highly recommended, both for web designers needing inspiration and for people who just want to spend their coffee break learning about how the web design pros do it.


A lot of research has recently focused on the problem of capturing the geometry and motion of garments. Such work usually relies on special markers printed on the fabric to establish temporally coherent correspondences between points on the garment's surface at different times. Unfortunately, this approach is tedious and prevents the capture of off-the-shelf clothing made from interesting fabrics.
In this paper, we describe a marker-free approach to capturing garment motion that avoids these downsides. We establish temporally coherent parameterizations between incomplete geometries that we extract at each timestep with a multiview stereo algorithm. We then fill holes in the geometry using a template. This approach, for the first time, allows us to capture the geometry and motion of unpatterned, off-the-shelf garments made from a range of different fabrics.
Click here for a lower quality version if you're using a slow connection.
Acquisition: We deploy a unique 360â—¦ high-resolution acquisition setup using sixteen inexpensive high-definition consumer video cameras. Our lighting setup avoids strong shadows by using indirect illumination. The cameras are set up in a ring configuration in order to capture the full garment undergoing a range of motions.
Multiview Reconstruction: The input images from the sixteen viewpoints are fed into a custom-designed multiview stereo reconstruction algorithm to obtain an initial 3D mesh for each frame. The resulting meshes contain holes in regions occluded from the cameras, and each mesh has a different connectivity.
Consistent Cross-Parameterization: We then compute a consistent cross-parameterization among all input meshes. To this end, we use strategically positioned off-surface anchors that correspond to natural boundaries of the garment. Depending on the quality of boundaries extracted in the multiview stereo step, the anchors are placed either fully automatically, or with a small amount of user intervention.
Compatible Remeshing and Surface Completion: Finally, we introduce an effective mechanism for compatible remeshing and hole completion using a template mesh. The template is constructed from a photo of the garment, laid out on a flat surface. We crossparameterize the template with the input meshes, and then deform it into the pose of each frame mesh. We use the deformed template as the final per-frame surface mesh. As a result, all the reconstructed per-frame meshes have the same, compatible, connectivity, and the holes are completed using the appropriate garment geometry.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Recent news shows that the State of Tennessee now ranks number five in the nation for median household income growth, and statistics show Clarksville-Montgomery County also has string numbers in this area.
Last week, the US Census Bureau released numbers for 2017 that reflect population, income and demographic trends. The data shows Montgomery County increased its annual median household income by $7,500 since 2014 with the city seeing an increase of over $9,500 during that same time. With a current median annual household income of $58,381 for the county and $54,667 for the city, both rank higher than the State of Tennessee average of $51,340. County poverty levels have also decreased to less than 10% and now rank lower than the state average. This is a number that hasn't been seen in several years.
Income growth isn't the only number rising. Population continues to trend upward as the county is now home to 200,182, up 16 percent since the 2000 census. It's been calculated that the community is growing by eight people a day, according to the Economic Development Council.
The EDC says that through strategic economic recruitment, the city-county has gained over $5 billion in capital investments and 7,600 new jobs from industrial-related projects since 2000. In 2017, Clarksville-Montgomery County manufacturing related jobs alone generated over $247 million in payroll, according to an EMSI data source.
"To make sure that the community stays competitive in the changing global marketplace and as highlighted in the EDC's five-year strategic plan, future recruitment will focus on advancing white collar opportunities for residents," EDC said in a statement.


The third chapter of Matthew's Gospel focuses on John the Baptist and the baptism of Jesus. There is a clear connection between baptism and mission. We come to the waters of baptism and are transformed, born again as new creations. The old sinful self is replaced by the abiding presence of God. There is a fundamental and indelible change in our very nature and existence, something that marks us for all eternity as belonging to God.
With this new identity comes a new purpose and meaning for our lives, for we are baptized not just to save us, but that we may go forth and bring the Good News of salvation to others. It is no coincidence that Jesus' public ministry begins after his baptism. He sets the example and standard for us to follow. As the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus at his baptism, we received that same Spirit at our baptism.
Baptism grafts us into the life and ministry of Jesus, into his death and resurrection, and empowers us to continue his mission on earth. Christianity is not a spectator sport. Each and every person, by virtue of their baptism, is called to get in the game and play. Certainly there are different roles and responsibilities, but none of us a called to just sit on the sidelines and watch others do the stuff. It takes discernment and practice to find our place in the mission field, but rest assured there is a place waiting for each of us. For some it may be a vocation to priesthood or religious life, for others street evangelism, still others works of mercy among the poor and needy, and still others a life of prayer and sacrifice.
John the Baptist was very critical of the Pharisees and Sadducees in Matthew 3. He was angered by the entitled attitude of self-righteousness displayed by many of them. Some wanted to rest on their heritage and position. Some were adept at keeping others from engaging and participating in the work of the Kingdom. The message of the Baptist, and of baptism, is to turn away from those ways of thinking and living, and to understand that all of us are called to find our place and live out a missional lifestyle that infectiously invites others to believe the Good News that God's Kingdom has come.

Restoring native fish assemblages to a regulated California stream using the natural flow regime concept

Other biodiversity: Restore habitat along watercourses
A before-and-after site comparison in 1991–2008 in six sites along the Putah Creek, California, USA, found different fish communities before and after a change in river flow. Fish: Different communities were found 6 km and 21 km from a dam, after the change, but no differences were found 0, 16, 25, and 30 km from the dam. Methods: Habitat was restored through a change in hydrology. Three-day pulses, between 15 February and 31 March, followed by a month of higher flows, were used to initiate spawning. Five-day pulses (in November or December) were used to promote salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha migration. Six sites at different distances from a dam (0, 6, 16, 21, 25, or 30 km) were sampled annually in September and October for eight years before and nine years after the change in the flow (1991–2008). Fish were captured through electroshocking.

The Browns' draft class of 2016 is rapidly shrinking.
As he continues to revamp Cleveland's roster Christian Wilkins Jersey , general manager John Dorsey got rid of three former draft picks on Monday by trading defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah to the Kansas City Chiefs and releasing safety Derrick Kindred and wide receiver Ricardo Louis.Ogbah did not report for the start of the Browns' offseason program Monday, a sign that a trade was being discussed. The 25-year-old was picked with the No. 32 pick three years ago by Cleveland.He had 12½ sacks in 40 games but became expendable when the Browns acquired edge rusher Olivier Vernon from New York in the deal for Odell Beckham Jr.On the day they introduced Beckham at a packed news conference, the Browns also re-signed wide receiver Rashard Higgins (restricted free agent), defensive back Juston Burris (free agent), defensive tackle Trevon Coley (exclusive rights free agent) and Jermaine Whitehead (exclusive rights free agent).Kindred and Louis were both selected in 2016 by Cleveland's previous front office, which drafted 14 players that year. Only three remain.Dorsey has spent the past year and more fixing a roster that produced just one win over two seasons. But the Browns went 7-8-1 last season and expectations are soaring following the team's acquisition of Beckham and other offseason moves.A fourth-round pick Michael Deiter Jersey , Kindred had been expected to start after the Browns traded Jabrill Peppers to the Giants as part of the Beckham deal. Needing a safety, Dorsey went out and got Murray, whom he picked in 2016 while he was the Chiefs' GM. Murray became expendable when the Chiefs signed free agent safety Tyrann Mathieu.Murray started nine games and appeared in 15 last season, making 43 tackles and an interception.The Browns were pleased with Higgins' development last season and believe he gives them depth at a key position. He had 39 catches for 572 yards and four touchdowns in 2018.Coley has been a solid contributor over the past two seasons, starting 29 games.Burris appeared in four games for Cleveland last season after being signed off the New York Jets' practice squad. Whitehead played on special teams in his seven games with Cleveland in 2018.100<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:View from the sidelines: NFL cheerleaders 2018Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports | Raj Mehta Quarterback is undeniably the most important position in football and arguably the most critical position in all of sports. While baseball pitchers are isolated on the mound and have complete control over their own destiny similar to a quarterback, they only start one of every five games whereas an NFL quarterback is expected to play every single down of all 16 regular season games and a potential four playoff games. You could make the argument that a hockey goaltender is just as important to team success as a quarterback Daniel Jones Jersey , but at least they have capable backups who can come in and relieve them for a game or two when needed - Aaron Rodgers, in contrast, isn't getting replaced by DeShone Kizer in Week 8 because he needs a rest.There have been dozens of quarterbacks taken in the past 10 NFL Draft, but we'll spare you the Ryan Nassibs and Brad Sorensens in listing the top 30 who have been selected and at least started a game. For instance, the Denver Broncos drafted Zac Dysert in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft and, after serving one season as the team's third quarterback Dexter Lawrence Jersey , he was relegated to the practice squad in 2014 and cut on August 31, 2015. He spent the next two seasons on six different practice squads and that's a story shared by most quarterbacks selected in the later rounds of the draft. Keeping with the Broncos, we'll begin the list with a former first-round pick of the AFC West franchise.

Azerbaijan Military Spending
According to the 2020 Azerbaijani draft budget, the defense expenses must make 3 billion 853 Azerbaijani manat (about 2 billion 267 million USD) which is more from the last year's 3 billion 187 manat by 20,9%. Speaking to Aysor.am on 22 October 2019, Razminfo coordinator Karen Vrtanesyan said in general in Azerbaijan the budget increase is being officially explained with the economic growth. "The increase of the military budget by a country getting prepared for war is justified. Azerbaijan has never hidden its dreams of military "settlement" of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Vrtanesyan said. Armenia's 2019 budget draft envisaged 300 billion 437 million AMD (about 629,5 million USD) and the 2020 budget draft envisages 301 billion 243 million (about 631 million USD).
The Bonn International Conversion Institute (BICC) published the Global Militarization Index 2019 by the end of 2019. According to the report, Azerbaijan ranked 10th in the ranking, moving ahead by 2 points compared to last year (12th place). Armenia ranked third, Russia 6th, Iran 24th, Turkey 19th, and Georgia 49th. BICC has chosen Israel as the most militarized state in the world. Singapore ranked second, with South Korea finishing its first "5th." Top 10 also includes Kuwait, Jordan, Cyprus, Greece and Belarus. According to the Institute, Nagorno-Karabakh also continues to spend large sums on the armed forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan for the protracted conflict. The authors have been conducting such studies every year, starting with the 1990s. They estimate about 150 countries around the world on a number of parameters, such as military expenditure, the number of people employed in the area, and the number of heavy weapons in the country. The report is based on data from the Stockholm World Problems Research Institute (SDPTI), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the BICC.
Azerbaijan's government is increasing defense spending this year, allocating 4.6 percent more money than was budgeted in 2018, setting a record-high amount that will be used to support the country's national security infrastructure. Colonel-General Najmaddin Sadikov, Chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan, said 22 January 2019 the budget plans for 2019 increased the national defense and security expenditures by 132.4 million Azerbaijani Manats (AZN), or $78 million. "For supporting the defense capabilities and national security of the country in 2019, it is estimated to allocate 3.37 billion AZN (almost $2 billion), which is 4.6 percent more than in 2018, " Sadikov said in an interview with the state-run journal Milli Majlis ("the parliament") last week, according to Marja.az. Sadikov said that the projected increase in the defense budget will allow equipping Azerbaijan's armed forces with new hardware and technologies.
The country increased its defense spending tenfold in the five 2005-2009 years and as of 2009 was spending nearly 2 billion dollars annually on defense. While this rate of growth may sound alarming, it is tempered by the fact that it represents an approximate three percent of GDP, the Azerbaijani Army is in need of replacing or repairing many items and infrastructure, and the sum of money is spread across multiple ministries, not just the MoD.
Military spending reached a substantial $1.5 billion by 2010, but little has been done to reform rank-and-file conditions in Azerbaijan's poorly paid conscript army, where the International Crisis Group said in a 2008 report that corruption, nepotism, and mistreatment were common. Many Azerbaijanis consider the Defense Ministry to be one of the country's most corrupt institutions. Azerbaijan reportedly received weapons of uncertain origin from various Islamic nations to assist in the struggle to retainNagorno-Karabakh. In late 1993, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made an official report to the CSCE on the weapons at Azerbaijan's disposal, fulfilling the requirement of the 1991 Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty (CFE). According to this report, during 1992 and 1993 Azerbaijan received more than 1,700 weapons—including tanks, armored personnel carriers, aircraft, artillery systems, and helicopters — from Russia and Ukraine, far above the CFE Treaty limits.
According to IMF and Azerbaijani government data, defense expenditures placed a severe burden on the national budget. In 1992 some US$125 million, or 10.5 percent of the total budget, went to defense. The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict also raised expenses for internal security to 4 billion rubles in 1992. By 1994 military expenditures officially reached US$132 million, although unofficial estimates were much higher.
Azerbaijan, with its vast energy resources now more readily exportable to international markets amid higher prices, would have the cash flow to increase dramatically budgetary spending. Despite many international observers' fears of massive, out-of-control government spending, the 2007 state budget reflected a disciplined approach to maintaining Azerbaijan's growing economic machine. Finance Minister Samir Sharifov negotiated hard to keep spending under control, fighting many line ministries pushing for more money and a larger part of the budget pie. Minister Sharifov, a relative budget hawk in Azerbaijan, was concerned that large government spending could lead to higher inflation and macroeconomic distortion.
While defense expenditures increased again in the 2007 budget reaching more than USD 900 million, the largest government expenditure remained the "Industry, Construction and Mineral Resources" area. Based on the current budget document, however, it is not possible to determine how much of the USD 916 million budget (an increase of 45 percent) for this area will be actually used for government ministry expenses and large capital expenditures.
Azerbaijan accounted for 13% of all of Europe's arms imports over the five years 2010-2014, behind only the United Kingdom. While overall arms imports had been decreasing across Europe, Azerbaijan imported 249% more arms in 2010-2014 than it did in 2005-2009, the report stated. The former Soviet state also was the world's fourth-largest importer of drones since 1985, trailing only the UK, India and Italy.
Those numbers contributed to the swell in Azerbaijan's defense budget, which saw the second-largest increase in the world over the previous ten years, according to SIPRI. Azerbaijan acquired 85% of its arms from Russia – a particularly striking figure considering Moscow's alliance with Armenia, which is bracing for renewed conflict with Azerbaijan over the disputed territory of Nagorno Karabakh.
Azerbaijan needs American weapons systems to build adequate defenses. Azerbaijanis complain bitterly about the restrictions of Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act even though the waiver provision is applied, because of the "parity" policy on assistance to Armenia and Azerbaijan observed by Congressional appropriators.
In 2008-2009 President Aliyev and other senior ministers continually asked to purchase US military equipment. Last year the Ministry of Defense provided a list of requested "defensive equipment," that included Patriot missiles, self-propelled mortars, Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stinger missiles and UAV aircraft. EUCOM reviewed the entire list and did not believe any of the items would be approved for sale.
The US encouraged the Ministry of Defense to put together a Foreign Military Sale request that could be used to begin incrementally a relationship on military sales. For example, President Aliyev mentioned air defense and yet their initial equipment list lacked an air defense radar system. Offering enhanced cooperation on security to Azerbaijan, particularly in terms of access to US defense technology, may be the best tool to mollify Baku's concerns about Turkey-Armenia rapprochement and patch up souring relations.

Some very clever people at Tel-Aviv university have found a way of making things hover within a magnetic field. Doesn't sound so exciting, surely that could be done through repelling forces. Well, yes, but there's more to this than that. Take a look at this video.
I don't get the science behind it, and I don't really want to delve into it, all I know is I like it.
Flying cars and hoverboards will be with us soon, I'm sure! In vaguely related news, you'll soon be able to buy an electric-powered DeLorean. $100,000, no flux capacitor and it doesn't fly. Hardly seems worth it to me.
An afterthought: I live in a rented house and the landlord can be funny about drilling into walls. I've not got my dartboard up at the moment but assuming that this can be secured in some way, this is an ideal way of hanging my dartboard up without causing damage. If someone at Tel-Aviv uni would like to get in contact to let me know how I can do this cheaply without requiring a 7 year university course or taking up much more than a couple of hours on a Saturday morning, that would be great.
