In your case the Philips Auto is unresponsive to the events and essentially maintains the minimum pressure all night. If this is more comfortable for you, the results are acceptable. I really don't see how there would be much difference running your machine in CPAP mode rather than Auto because the pressure does not apparently respond to your events or breathing.
"Sleeprider" When you say CPAP mode are you talking about going back to a set range say min.=- max. =12?
Here is last nights chart. at min.11 max 14. What do you think of it?
Me thinks your leak rate is bad. You'd be better off leaving the pressures alone and start working on the leaks.
Yes. your machine simply loiters at minimum pressure which either resolves events or not. If obstructive events are a problem, then the machine either needs to be set at a higher minimum pressure, or just set to CPAP at the effective pressure. I notice in your most recent graph, the pressure actually did increase in response to a FL followed by an OA before dropping back to minimum pressure again. What good it it to have the machine respond after the fact? I would just set it at 12 and not have all those automatic 1.5 cm fluctuations through the night.

This is the second time for such a low AHI. But I kept waking up last night. Feel tired today. Wore collar last night instead of taping. But I swallowed a lot of air. Lots of burping and such. Will keep everything the same for tonight. But it seemsraising the min. pressure up sure helps.

Thanks Crimson for keeping an eye on me!
Well I went from great to horrible again. Only change I made was tape instead of a collar. Will go back to just a collar tonight and see if that really is the cause.
And I only woke up one time compared to night before. Whats going on here?


A story of the average Joe's "ah-ha" moment.
There I was, a Dad with five kids, 4 of them were daughters. Head down at work, and I lost track of time and the date.
"Sooooo what had happened was," a couple of nights later I'm working late and realized that my daughter's birthday was the day before. Okay everyone forgets important things occasionally, right? The problem this time is I had forgotten her birthday the year before as well! Yes, this is a true story. I know, I know, father of the year award, again. How is it someone can forget their oldest daughter's birthday two years in a row, you are an idiot?
It was at that moment; the lightning bolt hits me, figuratively speaking.
There should be something out there that helps other forgetful people like me that love and adore their family, but fall short on organizational skills and need help when it comes to giving great gifts. I started asking coworkers at the office, and apparently, I wasn't the only one that had run into a similar issue before!
Instantly it became crystal clear to me that all I needed was a personal assistant. Someone or something that can help us forgetful, busy people and us procrastinators, yes I do that too, with remembering essential events? While I'm at it, how do I find great gifts? How do I know what my family and close friends want for their birthdays and Christmas? With help, I could become the gift giver I needed to be. I just needed an assistant that would set not one reminder, but several starting like a month out, then quickly make a gift selection for things they actually wanted. Now if I can do this fast, saving me time, ensuring I don't forget and not be painful to use, that would take a lot of stress off my life and no more disappointments.
Leveraging my engineering background and the help of others with similar needs, we set out to create that personal assistant we all need. After the design was complete, we got the funding to proceed with development. It turns out I'm not a unicorn; there are lots of folks that need help like me.
So, we put a top-shelf team together and got started developing. Now, what do we call this thing? As a boy, I worked for my grandfather one summer as he remodeled his house. He nicknamed me Gofer because my job was to Gofer this and Gofer that. I was his assistant and ran around like a chicken with its head chopped off; yes I am from the country, and we say stuff like that for real. We dub thee, GoferGift! You shall be free for the people to use and you shall make their lives better, saving them time, and money, finding great gifts and help them to become organized and the best gift givers ever!
After a few months of development, we sent GoferGift out to friends and family for feedback. They all loved it! Today we have thousands of users, and the product gets better every three weeks, that's our development cycle.

Later that day a jerk person that I know said that Mother's Day is just another made up holiday by the greeting card industry. I hate when people say this! No it wasn't, and if you'd like to read about the origins of Mother's Day you can go here and read all about it. Laura at Adventures at Greenacre wrote a great post about it.
OK so why should you celebrate Mother's Day?
You have a mother that gave you life. Even if your mother has passed, you can take a moment to remember her and some of the good times.
Do you celebrate birthdays? Anniversaries? Christmas? Then what's your beef with Mother's Day? Again it's your mom that gave you life and your wife that gave your children life.
I think the single moms out there should get an extra special day and it's them that are so often over looked.
Now for me, I just want a nice relaxing day with my kids and my mom. I don't need anything over the top or extravagant. (Brett's a lucky guy huh?) But I do want my family to make me feel special and I want to do something special for my mom. I think moms put themselves last almost every day of the year and I'm so glad that I get one day where I am put first.
So I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day! Enjoy your Sunday celebrating your mom and if you are a mom celebrating with your kids.
I agree with you whole-heartedly. You should appreciate your mother or the mother of your children every day but Mother's Day is a special occasion, set aside just for them! When it turned midnight, my hubby looked over at me and said, "Happy Mother's Day." and it made me feel warm and squishy. It's not about gifts, it's about being recognized for what we do everyday!!
Hello from your newest follower!
I hope you have a fabulous Mother's Day!
Great reasons - what a great post! Hope you had a great mother's day!
Come visit and follow me back!
Happy Mother's Day! My husband is actually one of those that doesn't celebrate Mother's Day and would prefer we not celebrate any other holidays either. He never grew up celebrating much and is just of the opinion you should show your love year round instead of saving it for one day. While I do agree with the last part it is nice to feel appreciated and have a few special days that are set aside and different throughout the year.


Bingley Caterers: If you're organizing a function or party in Bingley, West Yorkshire, some time soon, you will most probably be hunting for some reputable caterers to provide the refreshments and food for the party. Though naturally for smaller functions you could perhaps tackle the catering by yourself or get relatives and friends to help, for bigger functions, you will definately need to hire professional caterers, who will be happy to arrange all things involving the catering side, leaving you with the task of organising everything else. Caterers come in all shapes and sizes and supply food and refreshments for a wide selection of different events.
Catering - An Outline: A high-quality catering service in Bingley will supply guests with sumptuous food and drink whilst the host benefits from the party without having to worry about the preparation or serving. Making use of the professional services of a caterer initially requires a chat to create menu options, particular dietary requirements and to research the on-site facilities available for use by the caterers.
Loads of business catering services in Bingley will gladly be prepared to provide a service for anything from ten individuals up to in excess of a thousand with no issues to make sure your event runs smoothly. From black-tie events to outside gatherings and sporting occasions in Bingley, catering companies can be available to supply food and drink for your clients or guests all year round.
A great catering option for outdoor parties in Bingley, is a barbeque and hog roast where the appearance and scent of the food preparation boosts the event, clearly more formal choices are readily available and this is when it is essential to discuss with the catering company all your requirements in good time. This will ensure not only your peace of mind, but should help the caterer to give you the best possible catering service on the big day.
A number of caterers in Bingley may also have proprietary event venues meaning they provide not just the food and beverages, but in addition event management too. The guidance in preparation and planning will be vital and can certainly help in making your celebration in Bingley run smoothly and with the minimum of fuss. Using a catering company's facilities is also desirable because they are going to be acquainted with the site's amenities and would have doubtlessly arranged many events at the venue beforehand, and as a result there is less likely likelihood of an unexpected problem taking place.
A specialist catering service in Bingley must be able to supply references and guarantees for their services. This safeguards not just the client, but also the status of the catering company, which may perhaps have been built up over many years. In fact, when you receive a quality service from a caterer in Bingley, be certain to make them aware, and more vitally as far as the caterer is concerned, let your friends know, so that when they have an event to organise they'll be better able to choose their own caterers.

What incident at court made Sir John Woodroffe (1865-1936) interested in Kundalini?
Sir John Woodroffe (1865-1936), also known as Arthur Avalon, studied at Oxford University, England and became a judge of the High Court of Calcutta and Professor of Law at the University of Calcutta. His most influential book is The Serpent Power, which refers to the Kundalini energy. In his popular book, The Garland of Letters, he expounds on the non-dualistic Advaita philosophy.
According to John Mumford, Woodroffe became interested in Tantra from an incident at court. It is said that one day he had great difficulty concentrating on the case before him, and one of his servants informed him that a tantric sadhu had been employed by the defendant to sit outside the courthouse and chant mantras to cloud his thoughts. Outside, Woodroffe found an ash-covered sadhu chanting a Sanskrit litany. The Indian Police drove the sadhu away and Woodroffe instantly felt his mind clear, and moreover, instilled in him a desire to find out more about Tantric practices.

Q: Pass Variable argument into array Im sure this has been answered, so if you have a relevent link please let me know.
I need to pass a condition into an array. (if this is a bad idea also please offer another solution im all ears).
PHP
 $solUpdate = "";
    if($info[$i]->shortSubject == $el && $info[$i]->id != $tid){
                $solStat = $wpdb->get_content('is_ticket','ticket_id ='.$tid,'solarStatus');
                $check = solarCurl($info[$i]->id,"Tickets",false);
                $check = json_decode($check);
                if($solStat != $st){
                    $solUpdate = ("solarStatus"=>$st);
                }
                $wpdb->update('is_ticket', array('solarID'=>$info[$i]->id,$solUpdate), array('parent_ticket'=>$tid, 'solarTType'=>$check->problemtype->id));
            }

Here is what I am trying to accomplish,
If $solStat != $st, then I want to update that Row with $st, but.... $st may not always be different, so there is no actual  update to do, BUT... I dont want to write an else to my if, I think thats terrible code practice.  Im sure this is easy, and I have looked to find how to do this. Thank you for your help.

A: The line:
$solUpdate = ("solarStatus"=>$st);

is not valid PHP.
You can collect the columns you want to update in an array stored in $solUpdate before running the $wpdb->update() call:
$solUpdate = array();
if ($info[$i]->shortSubject == $el && $info[$i]->id != $tid) {
    $solStat = $wpdb->get_content('is_ticket', 'ticket_id='.$tid,'solarStatus');
    $check = solarCurl($info[$i]->id,"Tickets",false);
    $check = json_decode($check);

    $solUpdate['solarID'] = $info[$i]->id;
    if ($solStat != $st) {
        $solUpdate['solarStatus'] = $st;
    }

    $where = array(
        'parent_ticket' => $tid,
        'solarTType' => $check->problemtype->id
    );

    $wpdb->update('is_ticket', $solUpdate, $where);

}

Rome, apud Iacobum Mascardum, 1610.
FIRST EDITION. 8vo. pp. (viii), 234, (vi). ✝⁴, A-P⁸. Roman and Italic letter. Woodcut device to title of Ss. Peter and Paul with Papal arms in between, historiated, floriated and grotesque woodcut initials, typographical ornaments. Light age yellowing, the very rare marginal spot. A very good copy, crisp and clean, in eighteenth century French calf, spine with gilt ruled raised bands, gilt ruled in compartments, richly gilt with large fleurons to centres, red morocco label gilt lettered, a.e.r. covers scratched.
Important first edition of this major work on missionary theory by the great Discalced Carmelite Monk Tomas de Jesus, (Diego Sanchez Davila) one of the most important figures of the Discalced Carmelite movement, a work of great influence in the establishment of missions throughout the New World. Thomas was named Provincial of Casilla in 1597 and founded another desert Monastery at Las Batuecas shortly after. During this time he was invited by the Carmelite fathers of the Italian congregation to join a missionary expedition to the Congo, however he preferred to remain in solitude in his retreat. Shortly after however, on rereading the first chapter of the foundation work of the order by St. Theresa D'Avilla, he had a profound change of heart. He made a vow to work on the conversion to Christianity of all those who were outside the Church, and wrote to his Italian confreres to inform them of his availability to travel anywhere in the world. With this goal he returned to Rome. The African mission had not materialised so whilst in Rome he wrote this treatise in which he formed the view Carmelites should give themselves to the missions as it was entirely within the spirit of contemplation that founded the order. He developed the idea that Monks and Solitaries, due to their rigorous training were most qualified for this apostolic mission. He developed these thoughts in a second work 'De procuranda salute omnium gentium' which, together with this, would serve as one the chief works used in the formation of missionaries for centuries especially after the creation of the congregation for the propagation of the faith.
An excellent copy of this important first edition.
Not in BM STC It. C17th or Alden.

AMS Transvaginal Mesh: No Respect for Women or What Happens Post-Surgery
April 6, 2014, 8:00AM . By Jane Mundy
Lavernia, TXBarbara, who has gone through two transvaginal mesh procedures, is doing well compared with thousands of other women who required, or are looking for, revision surgery. Still, she is worried that her sex life is ruined for the rest of her life.
Barbara had the first transvaginal mesh implant for urinary incontinence in 1996 - a common occurrence after having kids. "At the time I was told the procedure would last about 10 years, so when I had more incontinence problems around 2011, it came as no surprise," says Barbara. "I had a few problems with this first TVM but nothing I couldn't live with. Intercourse was a bit uncomfortable unless I was in a certain position, but again the discomfort wasn't bad enough to do anything - besides, what could be done?"
Barbara went through a number of tests to determine whether she was a candidate for another transvaginal mesh surgery. She underwent a second procedure and believes that this time she was implanted with the AMS Sparc Sling System, unfortunately not as successful as the first implant.
"Now intercourse is painful in a way that I didn't have to suffer through the first time," Barbara says. "My partner can feel the mesh during intercourse, he says it feels different. It certainly puts a damper on our relationship, to say the least."
Barbara talked about the sexual intimacy problem with her doctor. Surprisingly, he simply started her on hormone therapy! "He said it is possible that intercourse hurts because I am dry, but we had no problems before this AMS mesh was implanted," Barbara explains. I took the hormone therapy for six months but took myself off it. It didn't change anything - in fact HRT is an added danger."
Barbara is due for an annual checkup at the end of this month; she has a lot of questions to ask her doctor.

"Why wasn't I told of any transvaginal mesh side effects and complications, why wasn't I informed that sex might be a problem for the rest of my life?" she asks. "I can't fathom how this device can be on the market when it has caused so much discomfort and more serious problems in so many women. And to top it off, my incontinence problem isn't fixed.
"Granted my issues aren't as bad as some other women, but what if it gets worse? This transvaginal mesh isn't even fixing the problem so why do the procedure in the first place? It's like the doctors were sold a bill of goods from the manufacturers and/or they don't care what happens to you after the fact. Your sex life doesn't affect them. Bottom line: I am outraged. Doctors who implant women with this mesh and the people who brought it to market have no type of respect for women or what happens post-surgery."

At Chemistry Blog, Nick Uhlig explores the chemistry of William Gibson's classic novel Neuromancer.
Only the finest Brazilian Dex for me.
Watch the short film adaptation of William Gibson's "The Gernsback Continuum"
NSFW: Tomorrow Calling (1993) is a short film adaptation for television of William Gibson's 1981 short story "The Gernsback Continuum," from the seminal cyberpunk anthology Mirrorshades (1986), edited by Bruce Sterling, and Gibson's own Burning Chrome (1986) collection. Directed by Tim Leandro, Tomorrow Calling was first shown on Channel 4 in the UK.
In The Guardian, William Gibson describes his experience writing his first novel, Neuromancer.
I was 34, a first-time parent, married, a recent university graduate with a BA in English literature. I had published a few (very few) short stories in Omni, a glossy magazine from the publisher of Penthouse. Omni paid around $(removed),000 for a short story, a princely sum (particularly when compared with science fiction magazines – digest-sized, the traditional pulps – which paid perhaps a 10th, if that). Omni left me no choice but to write more.
Before The Matrix, there was this, starring Beat Takeshi and Keanu Reeves. Cyberpunk's truest vision lurks not in gnostic fantasy but in the cheap mediocrity of corporate power.

McDermott To Become Sole Chief Of SAP In 2014 As Co-CEO Snabe Steps Down
Alex Konrad Forbes Staff
Covering venture capital, software and startups

SAP announced Sunday that co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe will step down from that role and transition from the software company's executive board to its supervisory board in May 2014. The move will make American co-CEO Bill McDermott sole chief executive for the company as it enters year four of its transition to a cloud and data focused company.
The move will put SAP's former Americas chief, the American McDermott, in full leadership of the global business software firm. Snabe, a Copenhagen resident, has been operating as co-CEO out of the company's headquarters in Walldorf, Germany. Snabe said in a statement Sunday that transitioning to just a supervisory board role would allow for "the next phase of my career, closer to my family."
Snabe has worked for SAP since 1990, excluding a stint at IBM Denmark from 1994 to 1996. He's been an executive board member for five years and co-CEO alongside McDermott since February 2010. That year, the company entered a major relaunch to prioritize cloud computing, data management and mobile.
Under Snabe and McDermott's leadership, SAP has spent billions on acquisitions like its $3.4 billion purchase of SuccessFactors that closed last year and an e-commerce bet just last month with the purchase of Hybris. The company's also invested heavily in its HANA in-memory data platform.
SAP's stock is up about 60% in share price since McDermott and Snabe jointly took the helm. The S&P 500 gained about 63% for the same period.
While Snabe won't step down for ten months, the announcement comes just three days after a rare earnings miss for SAP as it missed analysts' earnings estimates for Q2 on weak Asia demand and slowed software sales, which while up 10% in revenue didn't meet the company's earlier goal of 12 or 13 percent.
SAP reaffirmed its profit outlook for 2013, however, and McDermott told FORBES on Thursday that he thought his business units could handle that pressure to make up the difference, asserting that the company's pipeline in Asia would turn around in the second half of the year. As of the weekend SAP' stock was down about $3, or about four percent, from Wednesday's close.
"With two of the best leaders in the industry, now I can look to bring Jim's experience and energy to the SAP Supervisory Board, and be sure SAP is firmly in the hands of a visionary leader with Bill as sole CEO," SAP cofounder, former chairman and CEO Hasso Plattner said in the company's Sunday release.
Both Snabe and McDermott mentioned continuing their partnership and friendship in Snabe's new role, though the nature of that partnership will undoubtedly change markedly as Snabe joins the large, more part-time supervisory board chaired by Plattner, which had sixteen members as of March. Snabe will be replacing one of those members.
Update 10:30 AM: On the SAP analysts' call, Plattner says "Jim came to me to resign from his role as co-CEO in the near future and I couldn't convince him to change his mind." Plattner adds that Snabe had told him at the time of his appointment that he would plan to lead for about four years.
Plattner says SAP's software and support will move to the cloud in the next year, though SAP will continue to support customers on premise.
Now Snabe is talking at 10:40 AM. "I feel it's the moment when I can focus on helping others be successful and focus less on my own success." On the timing, Snabe says executive turnover like this should come at a "moment of strength." Snabe argues that the timing of this announcement will allow for an easier transition in the next ten months. McDermott thanks Snabe and reiterates the company's commitment to HANA. We move to analyst questions.
"Jim spent more of his time on the development of the company, and I am more on the customer side, but there was always sharing between us," McDermott explains of their co-CEO arrangement. That product development work will now be led by Vishal Sikka, an executive board member since 2010. Sikka oversees 20,000 developers.
McDermott says he plans to run the company through the life of his contract, which runs to 2017. He says he has no plans to depart for a political career. Plattner says that the company is only speaking publicly this far ahead of Snabe's stepping down due to regulatory reasons.
On the geography of the move, Plattner says this decision isn't a vote of no-confidence in the company's German office. McDermott promises to spend much of his time in Europe and specifically German, and says he "will work on it" to learn the language.
That concludes the call. After a dip at market open, SAP's stock price on the New York Stock Exchange is about flat as of 11:20AM.

"Pablo Escobar, The Drug Lord"
The studio inks a one-year pact with the Colombian distributor to develop, pitch and produce its formats in the U.S. market.
Electus is making a big play for telenovelas. The entertainment studio has inked a one-year deal with Colombia's Caracol Television to bring its successful formats to the states.
A first of its kind for the IAC-financed company, the agreement gives the Ben Silverman shingle and production partner Jay Weisleder a first look at Caracol's scripted and nonscripted catalog, which already includes popular telenovelas Sin Tetas no Hay Paraiso, El Secretario and Pablo Escobar, The Drug Lord.
STORY: Electus Invests in 'Pregnant in Heels' Production Co.
This is hardly Electus' first foray into telenovelas. In June, the studio joined CBS Studios in developing an adaptation of Venezuelan soap Juana La Virgen at The CW. Electus also has midseason drama Killer Women at ABC, an update of Argentina's Mujeres Asesinas. Silverman was also an EP on the genre's most successful U.S. update, Ugly Betty, from his time at Reveille Productions.
"It is with great pride that Caracol Television joins forces with a company of such high prestige as Electus," said Caracol Television president of international sales Lisette Osorio. "We believe that this alliance will allow us to conquer the U.S. market. This is the type of partnership that motivates us to continue to produce universal and unique stories without borders. Electus is always one step ahead, and as content creators we feel that this type of vision will continue to reach audiences with international appeal."
Electus' current productions, Killer Women aside, are primarily unscripted efforts -- including summer reality series Get Out Alive With Bear Grylls (NBC) and The Hero (TNT) as well as NBC's upcoming competition Food Fighters.

Midas completes Bodmin police station
Midas Construction has completed the replacement police station in Bodmin six weeks ahead of schedule.
The project involved the construction of a three-storey police station for Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, incorporating a number of different departments. A single storey vehicle maintenance workshop and facility for dog handling has also been constructed.
This is the largest project undertaken by Devon and Cornwall Constabulary for over 20 years.
Murdo Mace, executive director for Midas, said: "We have been working on this project for over four years, firstly with the landowner Mark Alsop in his efforts to attract the police to his site, and latterly with the police throughout the design and construction stages."
James Brady, building manager, at Midas Construction, said: "Due to the teamwork and effort from the client, site management, designers and sub contractors the project has progressed admirably and has been completed six weeks ahead of schedule."
The new police station is a highly energy efficient building which is naturally ventilated with high levels of insulation. Automatically controlled windows will allow air to flow across and cool the exposed concrete ceiling. The windows close during the day allowing the cool temperature stored in the concrete to be released. This together with extensive solar shading to the south west facing elevations will provide a comfortable working environment during the summer months.
In addition solar panels will be positioned on the south elevation to pre-heat hot water for the showers, and a rainwater harvesting system will provide water to the main toilet block.

The exhibition celebrated the work of the Society and all the successful campaigns for Sheffield's heritage carried out by Hunter members throughout the century. It included a range of original books and correspondence, finds from the Manor Lodge and the Castle, the original site index and the recently restored 1852 portrait of Joseph Hunter. Also some of the finds from the schools' test pit project were on display. A free booklet featuring the lives of many active Hunter members, both then and now, was available.


On the eve of the upcoming Pashinyan-ALiyev meeting tensions over Artsakh conflict mount.
It is to be noted that prior to the meeting the OSCE MG co-chairs came up with a statement on the key points and principles of the talks by calling on the sides to refrain from statements or actions requiring unilateral change of format without conforming to the other side or expressing willingness to resume military operations. Apparently the first part addresses Armenia and shows that the mediators do not approve of involving Artsakh in this stage, and the second part addresses primarily Azerbaijan. This is another attempt to equate Azerbaijan's bellicose statements and the threat policy of using force to Armenia's claims, which is unacceptable.
The co-chairs reasserted that the sides will resume the talks around previously defined specific points. It is noteworthy that the Vienne, Sankt Petersburg and Geneva agreements were left out which implies that the agreements reached after 2016 are overlooked and the situation prior to the April war is put on the table.
This in turn indirectly implies that the international community turned a blind eye to 2016 Azerbaijani aggression and large-scale military operations. Azerbaijan may take this as a green light to go back to their proclaimed option of armed solution. Given the recent large-scale military trainings on part of Azerbaijan, the co-chairs had not been informed of, and the enormous volumes of military equipment brought to the frontline, it can be stated that Azerbaijan sticks to their policy of extorting concessions from Armenia under war threat. Armenia's position will reflect their further positioning around the talks table.
At the RA and Artsakh joint security council session RA prime minister Pashinyan apparently answered the key questions. We are not changing our position. Artsakh involvement is not a caprice on our behalf, rather a contributing factor so that the talks yield the desired result. RA foreign minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan reaffirmed this position at the meeting with Miroslav Lajčák, OSCE Chairperson-in-Office. At the joint security council Pashinyan touched upon the key principles of the talks, stated by the co-chairs. According to the prime minister there should not be misconceptions over the points. The question is which points are misinterpreted, though theoretically it is not at least ruled out that at this stage what we need is gaining time and these statements can be taken in this light. However the developments are implicit.
Following the revolution and formation of the new authorities official Yerevan has to a certain extent toughened up its position on Karabakh conflict regulation issue. Keeping our landmark is a priority. Any step back will strengthen Baku's position even more.

Mama Zimbi: The Woman Who Helps Ghana's Widows
In most parts of the world, becoming a widow elicits sympathy. Not so among some communities in Ghana, where women are sometimes blamed for their husbands' deaths, kicked out of the family homes or forced to undergo humiliating "widowhood" rituals.
Many Ghanaian women find themselves abandoned by their families when their husbands die, and sometimes have to take part in ceremonies that, according to local practices, ensure their dead husbands' passage to the afterlife. These vary, but some women report having to spend nights alone with their dead husband's corpse, and even drinking a soup made of his fingernails and hair.
Fighting this tradition has become the work of Joyce Akumaa Dongotey-Padi. Asked whether she is a "feminist" she looks confused. Instead she continues to describe how her charity – the Mama Zimbi Foundation – has helped and empowered thousands of Ghanaian widows, many of them thrown on the scrap heap by their families when their husbands died. She helps women, not just in the immediate aftermath of their husbands' death but also with money, education and business. She also helps them regain the hope of a future. She has made it her mission to drag countless lives from a state of hopelessness to something much more fulfilling.
One of Ghana's leading television and radio hosts, Mama Zimbi, as she is known to her viewers and listeners, has begun something of a revolution in Ghana. "On the radio and TV I was dealing a lot with women's issues, health, the family, sex," she tells The Independent. "Every time the show ended, we had lots of women coming in to tell us how they were being mistreated by their husbands."
She is talking on a mango farm run exclusively by widows, which she has financed. Women from the nearby village of Akuni, 120 miles west of the capital, Accra, work on the farm, growing and selling the mangos, and have turned it into a profitable business.
"There was an increasing number whose husbands were dead, and they didn't know what to do," she says. "It was becoming a more regular question, so I decided to set up an organisation to deal with these issues."
That was just over a decade ago, and now her foundation has helped thousands of women, not just with dealing with legal matters concerning their husbands' deaths but also setting up businesses to help them survive.
A short drive from the mango farm is one of Mama Zimbi's other projects. Inside a church building, 16 widows are making charcoal they will later sell at markets and by the roadside.
Beatrice Adzo Addedet, 74, has been a widow for more than a decade. She lived in Accra with her husband of 35 years, and worked at the airport. When he died, his family kicked her out of their matrimonial home. "We had no help from anyone – there is a stigma of being a widow in this country; it is very common," she says. "At the death of my husband, his family said that everything belonged to them – they didn't care." Joyce Akumaa Dongotey-Padi, founder of the Mama Zimbi Foundation
Anafah Josephine, 59, successfully took her brother-in-law to court when he tried to claim her property, but says that many widows face terrible threats and dangers.
"His family wanted to make me frightened," she said. "One of my friends was the subject of a voodoo curse. There are some strange widowhood rites here in Ghana that are not healthy. Some women are forced to spend seven days locked in a room with only basic foods; they are told that unless they do it, their husbands won't pass through to the afterlife."
Few of the women refer to the rituals they endured themselves, preferring to cite the experiences of friends or relatives. There are other examples of widowhood rites against which the Mama Zimbi Foundation fights, including being locked in a room overnight with the husband's corpse, and in some cases, being made to drink a soup made from the nails, teeth and hair of their late husband's body.
Mama Zimbi was the first winner of the $20,000 (£12,800) Wise education award in 2009. The prize is funded by the Qatar Foundation.
However, that was the only outside assistance Mama Zimbi has ever received. She says that the Ghanaian government has been supportive, and a number of private businesses have provided machinery and tools, but that most of the finance needed to help some of the 8,000 widows who Mama Zimbi believes need assistance comes from her own pocket. Already, some 2,000 have been helped.
She admits that some of her first projects did not work, and she now relies on soft loans, which women use to form collectives and establish small businesses.
One such enterprise is an hour's drive from Akuni, in a hamlet known as Okwenya. Here the widows make pots and bowls from the clay in the local soil. It is hard work, and over time they have developed their own rudimentary production line. Some older women, perhaps too advanced in years to do the work, sing traditional songs to maintain morale.
The Mama Zimbi foundation helps to recruit women into a collective and then provides them with a loan, used to buy materials and to pay for transport. The pot makers of Okwenya produce as many as 100 items a day. Mama Zimbi initially gave them 1,000 Ghanaian cedis (about £190), and they expect to make about 200 cedis each month from sales.
Ghana Malofah, 52, is a leader within the group, and with remarkable speed turns a lump of wet clay into a perfectly shaped fruit bowl. At a weekend market somewhere in London, it would comfortably fetch £20 or £30.
Like the women in Akuni, Malofah was thrown out of her home when her husband of 10 years died. "After he was buried and I performed the widowhood rites, I was sacked from the house," she says.
"When he died, I lost everything. I arrived in the village and learnt this work. When I heard Mama Zimbi's radio programme, I recruited other women and we set up this business."
Mama Zimbi is a bundle of boundless energy. After showing The Independent several projects, she went back to Accra to host a two-hour long radio programme.
She doesn't blame anyone for the widows' predicament, nor does she bemoan the lack of outside help. She clearly enjoys the spotlight her work has brought her.
Ultimately, however, she enables talented women to pull themselves up. She says she has kicked some women off projects because they were too lazy, and will only work with those who show promise of repaying her loans. And each time she speaks to a group of women she has helped, they sing, dance and clap in response. Whatever else she may be, Mama Zimbi is a hero to Ghana's widows.

Biden's Priorities
January 1, 2021 by James Windham
As President-Elect Joe Biden builds his core leadership group with cabinet and sub-cabinet appointments, it is still unclear exactly what his top policy priorities will be, beyond removing as much of the Trump legacy as possible. After all, we saw very little of him during the campaign, particularly when it might involve probing questions from an engaged media outside his support base. Can anyone really pin down what he intends to do with the economy, tax policy (other than raise them), with the relationship with China, public education, in the Middle East, etc., etc.?
The one exception to this, however, is very clear–he is almost entirely focused on diversity. In fact, he has promised as he says "the single most diverse cabinet based on race, color, based on gender, that has ever existed in the United States of America". And so far, based on key top level appointments, he is certainly following that script, and he is quick to lead his appointment announcements with comments about the identity of the announced appointee–"the first of this, the first of that", etc., without much emphasis on their specific qualifications for the job. And many of them are clearly Obama administration alumni, right out of central casting. Maybe it will get better, but to date I'm not impressed with the overall quality from a competence standpoint, and frightened by some of them.
The other, even more damaging point about the emphasis almost exclusively on diversity, is that it divides and doesn't unify the various identity sponsors and interest groups, as we have already witnessed in the public response to some of these appointments and complaints from many of the spokesmen for these interest groups. Biden could take some advice from his liberal friend the late Arthur Schlesinger in his book reviewed in this issue of the Pilgrim, wherein he laments the divisiveness of identity politics: "It is ironic that what the multiculturalists began as a joyous celebration of diversity ends as a grim crusade for conformity….if separatist tendencies go on unchecked the result can only be the fragmentation, resegregation, and tribalization of American life."
In all of our pursuit of diversity, how about more focus on diversity of thought and much less on gender and skin color?

Greg Stachura says
"….without much emphasis on their specific qualifications for the job."
Is this not the problem with Mr. Biden himself? His record does not speak well for his character nor his qualifications for the presidency.
How about following Martin Luther King on how people should be judged?
Rollie McGinnis says
How much of what he says and does is Biden and how much is from his advisors?
Biden's declared two top priorities are global warming and systemic (American) racism.
The defense of a charge of vote fraud is not to deny it, but to agree to pursue the facts of the charge.
Texas had no "standing" before SCOTUS to get a hearing that TX votes and its role in the Electoral College were diminished fraudulently in several other states.
So SCOTUS, the Judicial Branch, is lost.
The Legislative Branch was lost long ago when laws were passed that gave unelected Federales the authority to write regulations, determine penalties, and enforce them. Now these same unelected, tenured people write the laws….5000-plus pages in the recent "Stimulus-Omnibus" bill that Congress only had 2 hours to read before a vote was called!
And we face the permanent loss of the American Republic if Biden is inaugurated. There goes the Executive Branch.
We shall just turn into another socialist state like Germany, except we shall be the primary economic colony of Communist China, to which our money flows but freedom of speech and thought do not exist.
Tim J Phillips says
Dr. Tom, don't know who you are but you are spot on. With Harris taking office the communists have won without a shot being fired or a bomb dropped. Biden is irrelevant. Lose the Senate. Lost it all until Americans revolt for the 2nd time against tyranny.
Could not agree with you more!
Biden is just an arm with a hand holding a pen. Harris is evil, and that is not a light charge.
The revolt must not be delayed.

How do I get the RATIO column to show up?
It should be there in the big list, but it's currently not shown in the lineup area. That's where you need to see it?
I'm trying to hide the 5-9 lineup players but its not filtering. Can you check on this.
It only applies to confirmed lineups to make sure we don't hide players that may end up in the filter when the actual lineups come out.
How long does it take for the actually lineup to post from teams in MLB?
Typically a few hours before their game.
Ah yes, it is there for basketball. I'll do the same for baseball.


DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. – A 65-mile section of the eastbound Pennsylvania Turnpike will be closed Saturday, March 11 at 11:30 p.m. to Sunday, March 12 at 6:30 a.m., between the Breezewood Exit (#161) and the Carlisle Exit (#226). The closure is needed to allow workers to safely install an overhead digital message sign over the eastbound lanes of the turnpike at milepost 223.7, as well as to place bridge beams over the eastbound lanes as part of a new overhead bridge at milepost 205.35.
Alternate-route cards will be available to exiting travelers during the closure. Motorists should allow for extra travel time of about an hour during the detour. Expect higher traffic on detour roads.
The recommended detour for eastbound motorists: Exit at Breezewood, take Route 30 west (.3 miles) to I-70 east (I-70 exit MD #26, 48 miles) to I-81 north (58 miles) to Route 11 south; reenter at Carlisle Interchange (#226).
The length of the detour is required because smaller routes off the exits between Breezewood and Carlisle cannot safely accommodate traffic volumes coming off the Turnpike.
The following interchanges and ramps will be closed as noted, starting at the Breezewood Interchange at 11:30 p.m., Saturday, March 11, and proceeding eastward with the others closing as traffic clears the site.
Breezewood Interchange (#161) eastbound ramp will be closed to all traffic.
Sidling Hill Service Plaza eastbound ramp will be closed to all traffic.
Fort Littleton (#180) eastbound ramp will be closed to truck traffic.
Willow Hill (#189) eastbound ramp will be closed to truck traffic.
Blue Mountain (#201) eastbound ramp will be closed to all traffic.
Cars will be allowed to enter eastbound at the Fort Littleton and Willow Hill Interchanges but must exit at the Blue Mountain Interchange (#201). No truck entrance will be allowed.
Additionally, the Pennsylvania State Police in conjunction with Turnpike Maintenance will be conducting traffic paces during this time period in the westbound direction between the Carlisle and Blue Mountain interchanges. These will allow for the safe placement of overhead bridge beams at milepost 223.7. A total of seven paces are slated to occur.
A reminder that daylight savings time goes in to effect during this traffic closure resulting in a lost hour of work.

The bulk of homes on the market today are a distressed property of one type or another and here is where education plays a huge role in you understanding and successfully purchasing a distressed property. In order to buy a "foreclosure" you have to have cash in hand at the court house steps and bid on it in an auction format. What most people mean when they use the term foreclosure are distressed properties that fall into two categories: Real Estate Owned (by the bank, known as REO's) and Short Sales. An REO is a post foreclosure home that is marketed for sale by the bank on which you can write an offer. To find out more about REO's click here El Dorado County REO's. Short sales are a pre-foreclosure in which the owner still owns their property and is attempting to sell it to you prior to foreclosure for less than what they owe. They need the banks approval for this and the process takes some time. The "short" in short sale stands for selling short of what they owe not for a short time line or quick sale, it can be a bit of a misnomer.

The Fishpool Valley renovation project began in 2017 with an immense amount of planning and involvement with a wide range of agencies. Our part as volunteer rangers has been to support wherever we can, to help keep within budget. One aspect of this involvement has been to prepare some of the building structures prior to the specialist contractors starting their work.
A storm brought down several trees from a quarry above the Lime Kiln and crashed down on the top. It has been fenced off for years as unsafe.
The collapsed kiln was full of timber and brash which also needed clearing out.
This side is pretty much close to collapse.
De-vegetation was quite simply removing as much of the vegetation that has accumulated on and around the Ice House, The Lime Kiln and the Grotto. At the Lime Kiln site a considerable amount of brash had to be removed before we could even get close to the kiln.
The Ice House brickwork was very fragile.
Removing vegetation with hand trowels and brushes.
Prior to us beginning the work the structures had been surveyed to look for sign of any bats using the Lime Kiln and Grotto and we were also trying to get the job done before the birds start using the structures as nesting sites. The structures also had to be made safe enough for us to work on.
More vegetation to clear from this side and on the top.
The Grotto is very unstable and before we could begin clearing the vegetation on the top of the Grotto it had to be propped.
Clearing on this side of the Grotto was done with care. This is showing the results of our work. Unfortunately we didn't take a photograph before we began.
Once we were given the go ahead to start the date was set and then down came the snow! It was pretty cold on the day we started but as is always the case the Croft Ranger Volunteers we got down to it and had the job completed in a day and a half.
The Pools were still frozen following the frost and heavy snow.
Later this year the restoration work will take place. For now our job is done.
After some restoration of the stone work the Kiln will remain as a managed ruin. Part of our picturesque valley.
Before this had been started it was covered in brambles and had saplings growing from between the stonework.


Located in the Ice Caves of Terror Mountain, Kari (otherwise known as the Negg Faerie) is a nice faerie that allows you to trade in your boring, dull neggs for powerful, magical, and special neggs! No one is sure why she does so, but she's certainly not telling! Every year she travels away from the mountain to host the Festival of Neggs.
Just bring me your ordinary, boring Neggs, and I will trade them in for powerful, magical ones!!!
Hmph! Taelia should know better than to make fun of my Neggs. Anyway, this poor little Petpet needs help getting down the mountain. You should help it. Roll it in lots of snow so it's nice and comfy, and if you happen to roll over Taelia on the way down, no complaints from me!


The Fox Sisters of New York kicked off an interest in spiritualism with their ghostly tales of phantom knocking, apparitions, floating objects, a violin that played itself, and phantom music from the afterlife.
Starting in the 1850's and beyond seances often included the Spirit Cabinet, which became all the rage. These magical cabinets allowed the "Medium" to disappear at will and in her place her spirit guide would appear to traverse the room in ethereal layers of white gauze while giving messages to those who waited with baited breath.
Missus Mooney's Speaking To The Dead conjures up the very essence of the Victorian Seance and Spirit Cabinet bringing a tantalizing experience to life before your very eyes. You may question everything you believe to be true once the Spirit itself takes to the room and your senses leave you!

[VIDEO] Theory of Constraints Gets Back to Basics
By Shmula, Last Updated June 11, 2018
The Theory of Constraints is a methodology for identifying the most important limiting factor (i.e. constraint) that stands in the way of achieving a goal and then systematically improving that constraint until it is no longer the limiting factor. In manufacturing, the constraint is often referred to as a bottleneck. The concept takes a scientific approach to improvement and hypothesizes that every complex system, including manufacturing processes, consists of multiple linked activities, one of which acts as a constraint upon the entire system.
