Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications announced on November 30 that Japan's total population in 2020 will total 126,146,099 people. Among them, the proportion of senior citizens over 65 years old increased to 28.6%, a record high.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications announced the final figures of the 2020 National Survey on November 30, according to the "Central News Agency". The figures show that as of October 1 last year, the total population of Japan, including foreigners, was 126,146,099. Of these, 123,390,8962 were Japanese nationals.
The latest released total population number decreased by 948,646 people compared to the 2015 survey data, a decrease of about 0.7%. The total population in Japan has shown negative growth for 2 consecutive population surveys.

In terms of regional distribution, only eight prefectures, including Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Aichi, Shiga, Fukuoka and Okinawa, have seen their populations increase, while the populations of the other 39 prefectures are decreasing. Of the 1,719 municipalities nationwide, 1,419 are declining in population, or 82.5%.
The announcement by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications also noted that the proportion of people aged 65 and older in the total population increased by 2 percentage points from 2015 to 28.6%, a record high.
According to some scholars, the total percentage of Japan's population over 65 years old is over 28%, which already ranks the first in the world. The aging demographic structure will bring about a decline in demand, which will cause a decrease in household consumption and business investment, as well as a decline in social innovation.

When you get sick, the last thing you'll want to worry about is how to pay for medical expenses. Healthcare is generally expensive, which can add stress to an already stressful time. Fortunately, this anxiety can be avoided with a Health Savings Account (HSA).
In concept, HSAs are similar to personal savings accounts; HSAs are accounts that are used to save money which will only be used for healthcare expenses. The owner of the account, rather than employer, is the person who controls the money. In addition, money put into this account is not taxed.
In order to open an HSA, you must have a special type of health insurance called a high deductible health insurance plan (HDHP). According to Nerdwallet, "For 2017, the IRS defines an HDHP for an individual as a plan with an out-of-pocket maximum of $6,550 and a minimum deductible of $1,300." This means that if you have this type of high deductible insurance, you would need to pay $1,300 in medical expenses before your insurance company will pay for a claim.
What can a Health Savings Account be used for?
The funds found in your HSA can be used for a multitude of out-of-pocket costs, such as medical, dental, or vision payments. However, HSAs can't be used to pay health insurance premiums.
Typically, Health Insurance Providers can provide you access to an HSA. If this is not available with your particular healthcare provider, you can open an HSA account at most financial institutions.
Rather than someone else making decisions regarding your HSA, you completely control your HSA; this means you are able to determine how much money to set aside for health costs and you control how the money in your HSA is spent. At the end of the year, you control what happens to any unused money. While your employer can have access to your HSA to make contributions, you maintain control over your money, even if you change jobs.
Is it possible to withdraw money from my Health Savings Account for a non-medical purpose?
Yes, owners of HSAs are able to withdraw money for something other than a healthcare expense. Keep in mind that a 20% penalty may apply to any early withdrawals.
If you are a person that doesn't typically get sick, or if you're close to retirement, then an HSA may be the right plan for you. Opening an HSA will allow you to save for medical costs that you may encounter later down the road.
However, as the Mayo Clinic puts it, "If you think you might need expensive medical care in the next year and would find it hard to meet a high deductible, an HSA might not be your best option." In order to assess the costs that could arise in 2017, it may help to take a moment to look at last year's medical expenses.
How can I pay the high deductible on my HDHP if a minor medical emergency arises?
If you open an HSA and an unexpected minor medical emergency occurs, you may want to consider utilizing a Payday Loan or Title Loan to meet the deductible. At Cash Fast Loan Center, we quickly get you the money you need to stop worrying about finances and start focusing on feeling better. Visit one of our locations or contact us to learn more!

'You've got to think it's environmental': Questions over cancer deaths
By Debbie Cuthbertson
December 29, 2018 — 12.02am
Dieldrin is a form of organochlorine, from the same family of pesticides as DDT.
It was banned in Australia in 1987 after a contamination scare involving cattle.
It is toxic to humans and animals, and 'very highly toxic' to most aquatic life.
An international review in 2016 found it was probably carcinogenic to humans.
The review found sufficient evidence that it had caused cancers in some animals.
Campbell Stephenson can't shake the feeling that something in the environment contributed to his younger sister Georgie's death from leukaemia.
His mother, Robyn Jones, is also convinced that where the family has lived for generations – on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula – somehow played a part in Georgie's illness.
Georgie Stephenson's brother Campbell Stephenson and mother Robyn Jones suspect there was an environmental factor in Georgie's leukaemia. Credit:Joe Armao
The 26-year-old nurse from Barwon Heads died in September 2017 following a second bout of acute myeloid leukaemia; her first diagnosis was in 2014.
Five of Georgie's peers have also died, mainly of blood cancers and mostly in the past three years.
They include a former classmate from Barwon Heads Primary School, who died in his mid 20s, in 2016. For a time, their families lived in the same street.
Two men in their early 30s who grew up nearby died, one in 2015, the other in 2016, after multiple bouts of lymphoma. Another local in his 20s had a brain tumour and died in 2016. A pupil at Georgie's primary school died of a childhood leukaemia in 1999.
Campbell and Robyn know of scores of other young people – more than 20 in Georgie's age group who also grew up in the area – who have had similar illnesses.
They suspect that dieldrin, a chemical that was widely used by farmers on the Bellarine Peninsula, then banned more than 30 years ago after a major contamination scare, could be a factor.
And they want answers.
A few months ago, Robyn received the autopsy report into Georgie's death. It says she died of natural causes: from a brain haemorrhage, a complication caused by treatment for cancer. But for Robyn, there was nothing natural about her daughter's passing.
Georgie was first diagnosed in January 2014 after seeing a GP for a rash and a sprained ankle when she returned from the Falls Festival over the New Year.
She was admitted to the Andrew Love Cancer Centre at Geelong Hospital and went straight in for chemotherapy. Her sister Briony became her bone marrow donor.
Acute myeloid leukaemia grows quickly, with few warning signs. It is relatively rare in young people, especially women. The same condition claimed the life of Victorian golfer Jarrod Lyle in July after his third battle with the disease.
Georgie received a bone marrow transplant at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, then moved back to the Bellarine Peninsula. While in remission she worked at the new Epworth Geelong private hospital.
In 2016, just weeks after her father's sudden death from a heart attack, she became unwell after taking part in a fundraising swim.

She thought it was the flu, but it was much worse. Her leukaemia was back.
Campbell donated his bone marrow. But after the transplant, she was plagued with complications.
When it came, the end was sudden, and harrowing. "One Sunday night just out of nowhere she got a brain bleed," Campbell said.
Georgie went into intensive care and had surgery, but the bleed continued to rupture, until it claimed her life.
After her daughter's death, Robyn pushed the doctors for answers about what could have caused her illness.
"My other daughter was a bit worried that it might be a family thing, hereditary, and the doctor said 'No, it's just bad luck'," she said.
"We asked what caused it, and all doctors can tell you is they believe that people become subjected to some form of chemical. They don't know where or what or how, but that's as much as they can tell you really.
Georgie Stephenson in mid 2016. Soon after she was diagnosed with a recurrence of acute myeloid leukaemia.
"But that high incidence of blood-related cancers, you've just got to think that it's environmental."
Campbell agrees: "That many people in a small area with similar blood cancers, that would be something to research, I would have thought."
The chemical
Robyn first heard about dieldrin while Georgie was undergoing chemotherapy.
"I was talking to an old guy at the hospital about the dieldrin, and he said ... 'It doesn't break down'."
Dieldrin caused a major health scare in the 1980s, and the Bellarine Peninsula was at its epicentre. But that has been largely forgotten.
The chemical is a form of synthetic organochlorine pesticide – as are DDT, heptachlor, chlordane and aldrin.
Dieldrin was first introduced into Australia in the 1940s. It was sold in household products such as Hortico Dieldrin Dust, Shell Dieldrex and Yates Garden Dust.
The pesticide was widely used by potato farmers, many of whom also ran cattle, who applied the dust to control worms and weevils.
It was banned in Australia in 1987 after beef exported to the US and Japan tested positive for excessive levels of dieldrin, leading 200 Bellarine Peninsula farms to be placed under quarantine.
Fifty-one Victorian farmers whose properties were contaminated by dieldrin, most of them from the Bellarine Peninsula, shared in $1.75 million in state government compensation in 2004.

They sued because they had used the chemical on the advice of the state's Agriculture department, which was aware of its health risks from the early 1970s (when it was banned in the US and many other countries).
Organochlorines persist in the soil for decades. They are toxic to humans and animals, and "very highly toxic" to most aquatic life, according to the federal Department of Environment.
Many hectares of former farmland across the Bellarine Peninsula, and in Barwon Heads, has been developed for housing in recent decades.
In 2016, 18 scientists from eight countries – including Professor Lin Fritschi from Western Australia's Curtin University – reviewed the carcinogenity of compounds including dieldrin for the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
"They are extremely persistent in the environment and in humans and animals. Dieldrin ... was classified as probably carcinogenic to humans," the review found.
While it had been investigated in relation to breast cancer, there was "limited evidence" of an association, the scientists said.
However, they found "sufficient evidence" of a link between dieldrin and cancer in some animals used in laboratory testing.
Other studies – including one in 2014 on non-Hodgkin lymphoma – have investigated dieldrin in relation to blood cancers, but did not find an association.
The science is inconclusive.
But for Robyn, and Campbell, the questions remain.
"Answers would be good," she said. "And to prevent this happening to other people."

JetBlue's New 'Blue Basic' Service Comes With Cheap Flight Prices but Lots of Fees
A JetBlue Airways Airbus A320 jet at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

By Kenadi Silcox
JetBlue just launched a cheap new basic economy tier, called "Blue Basic." The new class of service will feature the lowest-price flights available from JetBlue, but it will come with fewer basic amenities that many passengers have come to expect from the airline.
JetBlue's change to its fare structure, rolled out on Tuesday, November 12, follows a years-long trend of major airlines — including the three largest U.S. carriers (American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines) — offering bare-bones services for low prices in order to compete with ultra low-cost carriers like Spirit and Frontier Airlines.
What's included with JetBlue Blue Basic tickets? The better question may be what's not included. JetBlue's new class of service does not allow passengers to select seats in advance without paying an additional fee. Passengers flying in JetBlue Blue Basic will be able to select a seat 24 hours before the scheduled flight and bring a carry-on, but people with this fare will have to board the plane last. So space in overhead bins may be limited. Additionally, customers will not be able to change or cancel their tickets if they choose Blue Basic, and TrueBlue loyalty members will only earn one-third of the frequent-flyer points when traveling on Basic tickets.
Along with adding Blue Basic, the Blue Flex fare has been replaced by Blue Extra, while all other tiers remain the same for the time being, ThePointsGuy reported.
The carrier's website appears to be updated to reflect all changes regarding the new categories of service. JetBlue's Baggage Information page shows that there are now, confusingly, four different "Blue" categories of service: Blue Basic, Blue, Blue Plus, and Blue Extra. Blue Plus allows passengers to check the first bag for free, while all of the other service classes charge the same for checked luggage ($30 for the first bag, $40 for the second).
JetBlue noted in their press release that all tiers will still have access to free snacks, WiFi, and DIRECTTV movies and TV shows, but it remains unclear how much less expensive JetBlue's Blue Basic tickets will be compared to the airline's other categories of service.
What we do know is that the New York-based airline is continuing to look more and more like any other major airline, moving away from its egalitarian philosophy that garnered cult-like support in the 2000s and early 2010s. JetBlue still boasts the most legroom in coach, but if you showed customers in 2013 today's business model, they would probably be quite surprised to see first class seats and checked bags fees.
JetBlue expects the new basic economy level to increase revenue by $150 million in 2020. Flights from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Nassau, Bahamas and New York's JFK to Long Beach, California will be the first to include this new class of service, with the rest rolling out throughout the next two months.

"What is the name of the king of Sweden?"
Would it be correct to say "Kungen av Sverige"? I think it's right in Norwegian Bokmål ("Kongen av Sverige"), but I don't know about Swedish.
The reason you can't say that is that you can't have a determinate noun 'owned' by a noun in the genitive. Just like you can't say the king's the name in English.
And it's kungen with an u in Swedish, en kung (in Danish and Norwegian, en konge).
But there is also an older form of the word 'king' = konung. It was in general use historically, you still see it in history books: Sveriges konung, giving it a greater amount of reverence.
Vad är namnet på sveriges kung? Stämmer det? Om inte, varför inte?
So I said "Vad heter kungen av sverige" and it was correct, but It's different from the recommended answer. Would my answer sound weird to native Swedish speakers?
ok, I am familiar with the Vad heter.. phrase, but I am trying to form this sentence in the Vad ar ditt namn? option, but I can't get it right. I tried various combinations and all were wrong. Vad ar sveriges kungens namn? vad ar kungens av sverige namnet etc.. What would be the correct answer?
We allow the construction Vad är namnet på Sverige kung / kungen av Sverige?
I see it's a clumsy construction and not one I would use on a day to day basis but I sort of thought, if I could get it right I'd get a feel of a word order/construction of larger sentences with more possessives, which I suppose will come up later in the course. Sort of like an excercise outside of my current level to see if I could do it instinctively. Obviously not.
Well, don't beat yourself up over it. A majority of Swedes would probably not be able to make that construction instinctively, so a learner certainly should not be expected to.

Sir Harold Malcolm Watts Sargent (29 April 1895 – 3 October 1967) was an English conductor, organist and composer widely regarded as Britain's leading conductor of choral works. The musical ensembles with which he was associated included the Ballets Russes, the Huddersfield Choral Society, the Royal Choral Society, the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, and the London Philharmonic, Hallé, Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Symphony and Royal Philharmonic orchestras. Sargent was held in high esteem by choirs and instrumental soloists, but because of his high standards and a statement that he made in a 1936 interview disputing musicians' rights to tenure, his relationship with orchestral players was often uneasy. Despite this, he was co-founder of the London Philharmonic, was the first conductor of the Liverpool Philharmonic as a full-time ensemble, and played an important part in saving the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra from disbandment in the 1960s.
As chief conductor of London's internationally famous summer music festival the Proms from 1948 to 1967, Sargent was one of the best-known English conductors. When he took over the Proms from their founder, Sir Henry Wood, he and two assistants conducted the two-month season between them. By the time he died, he was assisted by a large international roster of guest conductors.
At the outbreak of the Second World War, Sargent turned down an offer of a major musical directorship in Australia and returned to the UK to bring music to as many people as possible as his contribution to national morale. His fame extended beyond the concert hall: to the British public, he was a familiar broadcaster in BBC radio talk shows, and generations of Gilbert and Sullivan devotees have known his recordings of the most popular Savoy Operas. He toured widely throughout the world and was noted for his skill as a conductor, his championship of British composers, and his debonair appearance, which won him the nickname "Flash Harry."


Love you forever. Video edition of "Love You Forever," the popular book for children by Robert Munsch. Very emotional story.
I'll love you forever, I'll love you for always, as long as I'm living your mommy I'll be.


Every month I will challenge myself with a New 30-Day Challenge to see the results for myself. To see what works and what is a waste of time. I hope this will help me grow mentally, physically and spiritually so I can create a better me. Wish me luck!

Business, Entrepreneurship
by Leonard Kim September 14, 20176:15 am September 13, 2017
How a Passion for Art Turned Into a $25 Million Business
Art has always been a thriving business. Many companies (like Sotheby's and Christie's) have taken advantage of it, raking in billions along the way. But one man found a way to enter the market using very little capital. His name? Sean Broihier, founder of the online art marketplace, Fine Art America.
Fine Art America generates more than $25 million in annual revenue selling art to buyers all over the world. All sales are done through its website where more than 500,000 artists display their work. The site has 14 fulfillment centers in five different countries that manufacturer ordered prints. You may think this type of operation takes countless employees, but not so.
"Our entire business is as automated as we could possibly make it," says Sean. "We have six full-time employees focused on business development, sales, marketing, graphic design, programming, and customer service. We contract all of our manufacturing to printing and framing companies located throughout the U.S. and abroad. In doing so, our small team is able to focus exclusively on the big picture of building the business without having to deal with the day-to-day logistics and headaches of manufacturing thousands of highly-customized orders."
While Sean had been involved in other ventures along the way, it was his love of art and his ability to create that motivated him to launch Fine Art America. "I was an artist in my younger days, and I still have a number of illustrations and paintings from my teenage years that I'm proud of. But, I never pursued art beyond those early years."
A self-taught programmer and web designer, Sean had previously built a website for his brother who worked in art sales.
"I built him a simple website to help him advertise the art gallery business and the artists that he represented," says Sean. "Each time one of his artists would debut a new painting or announce a new public appearance, my brother would call and have me update the website. That's when the light bulb went on."
Sean built the site on weekends while still working full-time as an engineer in New York City. The goal was to create something that allowed artists and galleries to upload their content and offer it for sale. The result was a website that cost very little to run while generating profit for artists as well as the founder.
"When I launched the business back in 2006, my only expense was $15 per month for a web service," says Sean. "I was the only programmer and the only employee at the time, so there was no debt or monthly salaries to maintain. The result was a business that was profitable within days of launching."
Sean says his 'a-ha' moment came within days of the launch. "I remember everything about my first order to this day. A buyer purchased a print of a gorilla drawing. I made about $5 in profit on the order and knew that was it. This was my future."
His 'future' continues to generate profit while still running lean. Today, Fine Art America has only six full-time employees who mainly work on sales, marketing, graphic design, social media, strategic partnerships, and programming. He has since launched the website Pixels.com, a print on demand website that allows people to turn prints into wall art, home décor, and lifestyle products.
As with all entrepreneurs, Sean had a few hiccups along the way. All of which were lessons that he readily shares with future entrepreneurs. One of which was the ability to break into a market despite no-one paying attention.
"On the marketing front, it was very difficult to get anyone in the press to pay attention to the company," recalls Sean. "So, I just focused on what I did best and continued to create powerful sales and marketing tools for our artists. It kept them engaged and excited, which encouraged them to upload more images to the site and share them on social media, which then drove more artists and buyers to the site."
His one piece of advice for entrepreneurs? Don't raise money unless you absolutely need to.
"Almost everyone who advises you throughout your career is going to encourage you to raise money. Think carefully before you do. The minute you raise money from an investor, you're no longer the boss. You're answering to a board of directors and 4–5 years away from selling or losing control of your company."
Sean has plans to turn Fine Art America and Pixels into household names. He has started by entering into partnerships with companies such as Condé Nast while pursuing other partners such as Amazon.com and Target.
The success of Fine Art America provides a lesson for all entrepreneurs. With a little self-teaching and entrepreneurial spirit, you can create a $25 million business with very little money.

Fun and exciting. Just don't think about it too hard. Unfortunately, I had to.
I love the idea of time travel. I fantasize about it a great deal: going back and stopping 9/11, going forward and finding out the right lottery numbers, visiting ancient Greece to see the Parthenon in its original form, or to 1970s San Francisco to visit pre-AIDS Castro. I'm always excited by time travel stories, from those great Star Trek episodes, to HG Wells' The Time Machine, even to dorky shows like Quantum Leap. But when the time travel involves people visiting themselves in the past and trying to fix the future, things go awry, because the paradoxes start piling up. I either get annoyed or I have to force myself to ignore the annoyances. I had to do this with the Terminator franchise and with Heroes; if I thought about it too much, I could poke holes in the plot and my enjoyment would stutter. This is how I felt while watching Looper, the brainy, mostly thrilling new time travel thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Bruce Willis's younger self. Continue…

Yes, I am still reviewing movies. Here are the last four!
I've been very distracted over the last month, and while I've been turning in my reviews and they've been getting published, I've been spacing on linking to them. So, here are the four that I haven't told y'all about, in order of most recent release.
50/50: I think one of the weirder genres of film is the disease comedy. Even if the film itself is an organic melding of comedy and tragedy, the idea itself is jarring. Paul Rudnick's Jeffrey is a damn good movie (though a much better play), but it's a sex comedy about AIDS. I mean, really. The Big C is a sitcom starring a host of wonderfully funny actors – Laura Linney, Oliver Platt, John Benjamin Hickey, Cynthia Nixon – but it's about a woman with terminal cancer. Ugh. In the newest of the genre, 50/50, Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) responds to the stunned silence that follows the announcement of his diagnosis by asking, "Have you seen Terms of Endearment?" referencing the mother of all cancer comedies. How meta. And since it's meant to get a laugh, it's even more self-referential. [Read the whole thing.]
Moneyball: Michael Lewis' 2003 book about how the Oakland Athletics' general manager Billy Beane used baseball statistics in complex, innovative and surprisingly winning ways was a phenomenal bestseller. Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game has remained hugely popular for years, not just because Lewis managed to write a good sports drama but also because he wrote a great business book about how a macho, intuitive industry was changed by analytic nerds. While sports metaphors work well in business, and sports movies can be great drama, business books don't make great films. However, the film based on Moneyball is a great movie, and this despite the business drama behind it, with the second director Steven Soderbergh getting fired and an Aaron Sorkin script getting rewritten. But Brad Pitt (playing Beane), Bennett Miller (who directed Capote), and Steve Zaillian (who adapted Schindler's List), have hit a home run. (Sorry.) [Read the whole thing. Bonus: There's a capsule review of Drive at the end.]
Contagion: I guess if you really want to scare the Bejesus out of audiences, releasing a movie about a mysterious, end-of-the-world viral pandemic on the weekend of the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks is one sure-fire way.
Unlike traditional horror movies that revolve around supernatural evil (The Exorcist) or angry psychopaths (Friday the 13th) or science fiction (28 Days Later), Contagion earns its horror by telling a story as close to possible as Traffic or The Hurt Locker did and then lets the underlying nervous terror wrought by the weekend amplify the fear. It's a cynical, manipulative and exploitative move, and I'm not sure how commercially successful such a movie can be.
However, if you have Steven Soderbergh directing Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard and Laurence Fishburne, you can probably get funding for a movie about alfalfa farmers; you can get a lot of funding if you say your movie is Outbreak crossed with Traffic. It would help, of course, if the movie was as good as Traffic, Steven Soderbergh's problematic masterpiece. Alas, it's not. [Read the whole thing.]
Warrior: I must admit that going into the theater to see the mixed martial arts movie Warrior, I thought it was based on a true story. I don't know why I thought this. It may have been its gritty similarity to The Fighter, last-year's Oscar-winning movie about the real-life boxer Micky Ward and his brother Dicky. Or maybe it was that the last time Tom Hardy, the break-out star of last year's Inception, was bulked up this huge, he was in Bronson, the mostly true story about an infamous British criminal.
Whatever the reason was, I think that believing that the brothers Brendan and Tommy Conlon were real people helped me to fall for the film in ways that were quite unexpected for me. Because I must also admit that the reason I was initially so excited to see Warrior is that I knew it would feature a lot of shirtless muscle gods wailing on each other. [Read the whole thing.]

A Colorful History: Role models and heroes
Published 10:54 pm Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Today's youth may find it difficult to find role models outside of the mainstream media, but they are there — rather, they are here, among us in our community leadership, local workers and educators, and in people who live in our neighborhoods.
These role models also had people who inspired them to take the paths that they took, and they spoke about who those people were and how they influenced their lives.
"My father was my hero," said Demopolis Fire and Rescue Department chief Ronnie Few. "I watched my father take care of our family. He was a leader and a role model for me and my brother and sister. I've been especially grateful that I had that growing up, with both of my parents.
"There was a man out of Oklahoma City who was the fire chief named Dr. Carl Holmes. When I decided to go into the fire service, I met with him. I had read about him in so many places. Not only did he teach me about being a fire chief, but he has had so many people who became chiefs: the chief of Atlanta, the chief of San Francisco, the chief of St. Louis, the chief of Las Vegas. If I ever ran into something where I had a problem, he was always there for me."
Demopolis Public Library circulation manager Connie Lawson heard someone speak in Demopolis who influenced her to return to college and finish her degree.
"I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. William Henry Gray," she said. "He was the president of the United Negro College Fund. He was here with Bill Gates (at the library in October 1997). I was thinking about going to school, but I just couldn't put it back in my mind to do so until I talked with him. It was like talking with all of the historical African-American people that I had read about, all piled up into this one man.
"It was wonderful talking with him! My aunt Julia and I talked with him the whole while after Bill Gates and his wife gave their speech about the computers. It was his words of encouragement, his words of inspiration that really made me go back to school. He was such an inspiration to me. Ever since I graduated from Concordia College in Selma, I have always wanted to thank him. He came into my life at a time when I needed a little push."
Carolyn Moore, the guidance counselor at U.S. Jones Elementary School, was also inspired by her father.
"Rev. Lonnie Williams was my father," she said. "He was a sweet man. He was a man of great wisdom, of great character. He raised six girls and a boy by himself.
"He had his own construction company, Williams Construction, but he's retired now. He was just a great person: caring, loving, giving. He is well-known in the community. He's the pastor of Bethel Rock and at Cole's Chapel in Marion."
These people all succeeded by the influence and example of others and hope to be examples and role models for others.
"I'm proud to be an African-American," said Few, "but I'm more proud to make a difference in my community."

The excavation of Trench 2 continues and several artefacts are recovered, including sherds of prehistoric pottery, a fragment of a flint arrowhead and a stone spindle whorl.
Excavation work continues in Trench 2, cleaning back the surface in the east sector of the trench that comprises fire-cracked stone and pebbles. Near the east edge of the trench, in a slight depression, Martin uncovered several sherds of prehistoric pottery, some of which refit together and include two rim fragments. The pottery is a light grey in colour and may have burnished surfaces. Several small fragments of heavily burnt bone were also recovered, while Steven uncovered what may be packing for a post-hole in the northwest sector of the trench, within the tumbled wall of granite boulders and cobbles. Martin excavated a one-metre wide slot trench in the east corner of Trench 2, extending through the wall of the U-shaped structure, where a layer of fire-cracked stone seemed to be extending under the wall of granite cobbles. After removing the overlying granite boulders and cobbles, Martin found that the layer of fire-cracked stone extended below in a low raised mound, possibly indicating an earlier structure, or a burnt mound? This will have to be resolved by extending the trench through the full width of the wall of the U-shaped structure, which measures in excess of 3 metres wide at this point.
Figure 1. The sectioned post-hole and packers located in the northwest sector of Trench 2 (Scale=0.25m).
As we continued to excavate through the layers of sediment containing fire-cracked stone in Trench 2 we recovered several artefacts, including the broken-off tip of a barbed and tanged arrowhead (in a grey flint), a flake of grey flint, a pebble hammer, two possible lumps of haematite (red ochre), two small pebbles (possible smoothers), two lumps of green-coloured rock (ore?), a piece of iron-working slag, burnt bone and small fragments of charcoal. The finds were most dense in the northwest sector of the trench.
By the 10th March we were still excavating through layers of fire-cracked stone and sediments, with no apparent change in the context. There were fewer finds from the Trench today, although slightly larger pieces of burnt bone and charcoal were recovered. A few fragments of metalworking slag, flint flakes and haematite were also found. One of the pieces of flint had part of the cortex in place and seems to be derived from beach deposits. However, George made the best find of the day in the west sector of the trench, adjacent to the ruined wall. Here, he recovered a fine spindle whorl made from a stone with green crystals on its surface. The hole through the piece is the typical hourglass shape, much like holes through rotary querns.
Figure 2. A stone spindle whorl from the northwest sector of Trench 2.
Before the use of spinning wheels, spinning was carried out with a spindle and a whorl. The spindle, or rod, usually had a swelling on which the whorl was fitted. A wisp of prepared wool was twisted around the spindle, which was then spun and allowed to drop. The whorl, acting like a flywheel adds momentum to the spindle. By doing this the fibres were extended and twisted into a yarn. These types of whorls first appear in the Iron Age or earlier and were still popular in the early Historic period.
Weather permitting, work will continue on Trench 2 next week.

Stay at 't Witte Huis
Enjoy beauty of nature, sleep under our fine linens and fall in love with 't Witte Huis. Nestled among the trees of Buitenplaats de Horte near Zwolle. Explore hidden tracks and spot birds, squirrel and deer. Does this sound like the perfect autumn hide-away?
Lisette Schmidt for Het Financieele Dagblad.
The basement of the billiard house was filled with strong liquor. When the glasses were filled, the gentlemen rang the clock. The butler came from the hunting lodge to serve the landlord and his friends. After the hunt, the men retired to the billiard house with a drink and a cigar. Although a century later the clock tower no longer adorns the roof, 't Witte Huis has remained almost intact. Interior and design studio By Mölle recovered this unique national monument in collaboration with Landschap Overijssel, owner of 't Witte Huis and the associated estate. The original brown wood paneling, ceiling, windows and floor have been beautifully restored. Furthermore, in the middle of the room a light gray block with bathroom, kitchen, closet and sliding doors was build in the original style. The fine, soft bedlinen and woolen throws are from By Mölle.
The key of 't Witte Huis can be picked up at studio By Mölle in Dalfsen. Here you find the By Mölle collection, from blankets and pillows to tablelinen and curtains, all made from organic and recycled materials.
The country retreat is surrounded by ancient oak trees and offers a panoramic view over the meadows. From here, two beautiful walks start on the estate.
At about seven kilometers from the White House is located in the woods Restaurant De Witte Gans. Here, delicious dishes are prepared from French and Mediterranean cuisine.

Delta selects only high-quality paddings, because they must be soft and elastic in order to ensure the maximum comfort and to preserve their original texture and density, without stiffnesses; for such reasons, the company pays particular attention to the choice of raw materials and their treatments. The paddings of our upholstered sofas are made with CFC-free flexible polyurethane foam, CFC-free flexible polyurethane foam with pocket springs, polyester fibres, memory foam and goose feathers.
The goose feathers are an organic material and they are considered as a "flame-retardant" padding solution, exactly like wool; goose down does not require any special treatment, being naturally the ideal filling for high-security upholstered furnishing elements. Feathers are antistatic too, hypoallergenic, hygroscopic and insulating. In particular, feather cushions are filled within various compartments of density. Inside each section of the cushion will be inserted the proper quantity of feathers, in order to create the ideal cushion: while increasing the quantity, the pillow swells and takes the peculiar rounded shape, soft and charming. With regard to the Delta Salotti feather sofas, this type of padding is used most of all for the backrests, which have to be soft, comfortable and properly fluffy.
Viscoelastic foamed polyurethane is a technical material, especially used for the production of pillows, cushions and mattresses. Also known as "memory foam", it is a thermosensitive foam that gradually deforms itself with the heat of the body, adapting to its shapes and maintain the imprint for a few minutes. Memory foam can easily model itself on the basis of the shapes and weight of the person who is sitting or settling down, distributing the pression uniformly and giving support without compress. This peculiar ability ensures the maximum comfort, while increasing the circulation of the blood and alleviating the muscular stress.
The expanded polyurethane we use for our sofas is soft and elastic, but also resistant and comfortable, breathable, dustproof and hypoallergenic. In particular, it is a synthetic material that does not contain chlorofluorocarbons; what's more, its peculiar internal structure, with open and thin cells, makes it light and air-permeable. It also ensures an excellent performance with regard to stress and compression resistance, even if the loss of a minimum percentage of the volume is quite normal. In order to make our paddings even more comfortable, we use only polyurethane with differentiated density; the various zones, with different density, will adapt anatomically to the shapes and weight of the body. The seats are composed of high-density ecological foamed polyurethane, in combination with helicoidal springs. This special material ensures the proper support for the body and, at the same time, guarantees the maximum durability and stability through years. Polyester fibres are essential in order to make our paddings always resistant and soft. They never contain electrostatic charges, they are inert, antibacterial, resistant to moisture and humidity.


Villa del Balbianello, dating from the 18th century, was built on a spur of land extending on Lake Como. The architecture is very original and elegant and the Villa is notable for its artistic and historical collections.
The loggia, named in recognition of Fondation Segré, crowns the site which and is currently being renovated in the course. The renovation works are expected to end in June 2013. New possibilities to enjoy this exceptional ensemble will thus be offered.


The recent rapid developments in bionanotech and micro/nanofluidic technologies has enabled the realization of miniaturized laboratories. These Labs-on-a-Chip will play an important role in future medicine, both in point-of-care devices for drug or biomarker monitoring, as well as in early diagnostic devices. We developed a pre-filled ready-to-use capillary electrophoresis platform for measuring ions in blood. It is used to monitor lithium in finger-prick blood of manic-depressive patients, but can also be used for measuring calcium in blood for prevention of milk fever, or for measuring creatinine in blood or sodium in urine for early detection of ESRD. Microfluidics can also be exploited to manipulate and experiment with cells on chip. We have developed a microsystem for sperm analysis and selection for artificial insemination, where we can electrically detect and sort healthy sperm cells. Using microtechnology we currently investigate a miniaturised neural probe used for online and off line analysis of CSF. Apart from diagnostic and cell manipulation devices, microfluidic devices are increasingly used to realise advanced disease and organ-models, as illustrated by the blood-brain barrier chip and a blood vessel on a chip to study atherosclerosis. These Organs on Chip may lead to more rapid and cheaper drug development, personalised medicine and improved disease models, while minimizing or even eliminating animal testing (3R principle).
