The story behind the quote: This week's quote actually comes from two movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe but it does come from the same person, Captain America. Portrayed by Chris Evans in the film, Captain America is actually Steve Rogers, a scrawny kid from Brooklyn who was chose to be the first person to get the Super Soldier serum because of his good nature.
The quote comes a couple of times from the first film, Captain America: The First Avenger. It comes up first before Steve Rogers is injected with the Super Serum formula when he's being beat up by a unruly movie patron. The second time it comes up in the First Avenger is when Red Skull captures Steve Rogers, now as Captain America.
The next time the quote comes up is during Captain America: Civil War. During the climax of the film, Iron Man is trying to kill Bucky/Winter Soldier for murdering his family. Captain America steps in and intervenes as he's Bucky's friend. Even though Iron Man has the upper hand and asks Cap to stand down, Steve Rogers still stands up and delivers the quote.
Geek wisdom: There is something to be said about being tenacious. Even though you are beaten down in life, you should never give up and always try to get up. The only time you'll actually be beaten is when you give up.

The objective of the project Voi hyvin is to support the self-employed and micro-entrepreneurs to take care of their own well-being as part of the every day activity of the business.
The objective of the project Voi hyvin! is to support the self-employed and micro-entrepreneurs to take care of their own well-being as part of the every day activity of the business and as part of the development of business.
They will be offered an opportynity to get peer coaching as well. The objective is also to construct and test a model and practices for supporting wellbeing of self-employed and micro-entrepreneurs as part of their everyday actitivy and as a development of the activity of the enterprises.
The project is divided into four periods. In each period, the new participating entrepreneurs will start with a needs evaluation phase (1. NeedCamp). During NeedCamp, the strengths, needs and challenges related to well-being of entrepreneurs will be evaluated together with the entrepreneurs. The goal is that during the NeedCamp phase the entrepreneurs themselves may define their personal developmental plans to enhance their well-being and develop their enterprise.
Each entrepreneur may then choose one to three functional camps (2. ActCamps) supporting their well-being.
After the ActCamps, the results are evaluated together with the entrepreneur and the next steps planned in order to pursue permanent change in the EvalCamp phase (3. EvalCamp).
As a result, the entrepreneurs participating in the project are better equipped to take care of their well-being at work as part of their overall well-being and as part of their work activities and developmental activities as entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs will also have peer support at their disposal mainly through a digital Camp Channel. The self-efficacy of the entrepreneurs has been strengthened during the project. As a result of the project, an operations model has been produced and the best practices have been tested for supporting self-employed and micro-entrepreneurs in their wellbeing as part of their work activities.


1. Tariff Barriers - The US Anti-Dumping (AD) Duty Investigation proceeding, which commenced in 2001, and has been followed by several annual AD review proceedings.
2. Non-Tariff Barriers - First outlawing the use of the term "catfish" for any imported Vietnamese fish. Second, engendering the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) Inspection regime, involving strict USDA oversight and certification regimes. These regulations dictate the slaughtering and processing of fish, ostensibly to check the use of chemicals and antibiotics. In essence, the USDA-FSIS regulation is a non-tariff trade barrier disguised as a food safety measure, conceived and designed to benefit a handful of domestic catfish growers in southern US states. This regulation went into effect on March 1, 2016, followed by an 18-month transitional period so that it will be fully enforced starting September 1, 2017.
This article focuses on a particular element of tariff barrier, specifically on a very important methodological aspect in the ongoing AD review proceedings covering Vietnamese fish fillets exports.
The AD margin is based on the price difference between the export price of actual goods sold and the fair or normal value of identical or comparable merchandise. In the case of US AD proceedings on frozen fish fillets, the US Department of Commerce (Commerce or DOC) measures the margin of dumping by comparing the Vietnamese exporter's US sales price of frozen fish fillets with the fair market value (or, normal value) of identical or comparable types of frozen fish fillets. Unlike the determination of US sale price, which is generally simpler, the normal value determination in Vietnamese AD cases is complicated due to the fact that Commerce considers Vietnam to be a non-market economy (NME) country.
In NME AD proceedings, Commerce determines the normal value of Vietnamese fish fillets based on a factor of production (FOP) methodology, aggregating the cost of all of the material and non-material inputs utilized in the production of exported goods, by applying a hybrid methodology - multiplying the real consumption factors of various inputs used by Vietnamese exporters by the hypothetical price data of such inputs from a surrogate country that is at a level of economic development comparable to that of the non-market economy country.
A. Factors of Production (FOP) data - Quantity of all material (i.e., whole fish, chemicals) and non-material inputs (labor, energy, overheads, sales and administrative expenses, profit) utilized in the production of a unit quantity of exported goods.
B. Surrogate Value data - Price data of all material and non-material inputs from a surrogate country.
Over the last seven years, beginning from the fifth administrative review of the AD Order, a fierce dispute has raged about the choice of surrogate country as well as surrogate values in the Vietnamese fish fillets proceedings. After losing in several AD review proceedings, the domestic US Catfish industry, led by the Catfish Farmers of America (CFA), suddenly embarked on a new course. Overnight, they sought to change the rules of the game in fundamental ways.
Beginning from the Original AD Investigation (2001) through the final results of the fourth AD review proceeding (March 2009), Bangladesh had all along been the unanimous choice for surrogate country because Bangladesh afforded the best quality surrogate value data for valuing all of the material and non-material inputs. However, beginning in late 2009 (5th review), the CFA sought to undermine this choice by bringing in alternative surrogate countries - the Philippines and Indonesia - even though both the countries failed to provide reliable surrogate value data or were simply not economically comparable to Vietnam. The CFA's sole motive in veering away from Bangladesh towards the alternative surrogate countries was to achieve an abnormally high level of normal value, so as to result in an unrealistically high AD duty. But, CFA did not succeed initially.
After failing to convince the agency in the fifth, sixth and seventh AD review proceedings, CFA brought to bear huge political pressures on Commerce and also sought to muddle the Bangladeshi surrogate value record through questionable affidavits from its Dhaka-based paid consultants. Ultimately, CFA succeeded in getting Commerce to switch over from Bangladesh to Indonesia in the final results of the eighth review proceeding (March 2013), even though Indonesia failed to satisfy the threshold statutory criteria of economic comparability to Vietnam. This switchover of surrogate countries caused AD duties to spike to prohibitively high levels. Commerce has perpetuated its choice by continuing to select Indonesia over Bangladesh in the final results of the ninth, tenth and eleventh AD review proceedings as well as the recently announced preliminary results in the twelfth review proceeding.
As such, on account of very high levels of AD duties over the last four years, a large section of Vietnamese exporters have withdrawn from the US market. Even so, some Vietnamese exporters still succeeded in obtaining a reasonable level of AD duty margin and, accordingly, continued their shipments to the US market. CFA wants to dispose of these remaining exporters as well. To that end, apart from persuading the US government to impose a new non-tariff barrier - the new USDA-FSIS regulations - CFA has also sought to ratchet up the tariff barriers through the antidumping case. To this end, CFA successfully persuaded Commerce to require Vietnamese exporters to report their factors of production under a new methodology. As set forth below, this new "CONNUM-specific FOP reporting" has emerged as the next scourge for Vietnamese exporters.
As noted above, the AD duty is based upon the difference between the US sale price and the normal value of such goods. Normal value is the fair value of such goods that are comparable to the goods exported and sold in the US market. As such, the first step in the price comparison methodology is to identify the scope of comparable goods, for which Commerce utilizes a CONNUM (acronym for Control Number), which is a set of variables corresponding to the key physical characteristics of the subject merchandise that are commercially meaningful in the US marketplace, and affect costs of production. In simple terms, the CONNUM may be understood as the product "model", where each model may include several distinct but similar product types, characterized by certain common physical attributes.
4. Product Size - less than 2 ounces, 2-3 ounces and so on.
7. Net Weight - percentage of weight as sold accounted for by ice, water, glazing, etc.
On the other hand, the main material FOPs utilized in producing identical or comparable frozen fish fillets are whole fish and certain chemicals (for non-integrated producers) and fingerlings, feed and certain chemicals used at the fish farm (for integrated producers). The list of non-material FOPs - labor, energy, overheads, SGA and profit - are common to integrated and non-integrated producers.
In order to appreciate the difference between the FOP reporting methodology historically followed by the Vietnamese exporters (and consistently accepted by Commerce) and the new regimen of a "CONNUM specific FOP reporting", let us consider a case where a Vietnamese exporter has sold a consignment of pangasius frozen fish fillets with the following physical characteristics - [Pangasius Hypophthalmus - Shank Fillet - Marinated - 2.5 ounces - Block Frozen - No Preservative - 25% glazing] - at 2.5 USD/kg. For sake of simplicity, let's assume that the concerned producer/exporter is non-integrated, i.e., his FOPs are whole fish and certain chemicals, labor, energy, overheads, SGA and profit.
Under ordinary circumstances, a Vietnamese producer/exporter produces and sells goods not only to the US market but also in the Vietnamese domestic market as well as to third countries. Further, such a producer/exporter may typically be producing and selling several different grades of fish fillets - varying in terms of physical characteristics, such as species, product form, product coating etc., depending on the customer requirements in Vietnamese and third country markets.
As a practical matter, on account of lacking the sophistication of multinational companies who are aided by sophisticated SAP/ERP software packages and absent an army of well-trained accountants, who are dedicated to controlling and accounting for the material and non-material inputs utilized solely in producing the CONNUM (model) comparable to the goods exported to the US market, none of the Vietnamese fish fillets exporters have been found to maintain separate accounts for each FOPs utilized exclusively in producing the CONNUMs covering the subject merchandise exported to the US market. That is to say, the consumption of various FOPs are commingled, instead of being segregated by CONNUM or models of finished products.
As a result, the consumption or FOP of any input, say, whole fish, has historically been reported by dividing the total weight of whole fish consumed during the review period by the total weight of all CONNUMs of fish produced by the exporter. The resulting FOP produced a reliable yield rate leading to an accurate AD margin, otherwise Commerce would not have blessed it over a period of 15 years, beginning from the Original Investigation (2001) through the final results of the 10th review period (March 2015).
In the 11th review period, under sustained pressure from the CFA, Commerce inexplicably reversed its longstanding position, requiring Vietnamese exporters to report the FOPs based on the particular CONNUM (model) of fish fillets exported to the US market. In doing so, the Department conveniently overlooked the fact that on account of a consistent aggregated reporting of FOPs by exporters (and acceptance by Commerce) over the last 15 years, the Vietnamese exporters were not put on notice about this sudden about-face by the agency in the 11th review. Absent such advance notice by Commerce, the exporters had not separately tracked the consumption of FOPs utilized solely in producing the goods exported to the US market. Therefore, the exporters were simply unprepared to comply with the new agency requirement.
Likewise, we believe that application of the new policy in the 12th review is unlawful because by the time the new policy was approved by Commerce in the preliminary results of the 11th review (September 2015), the reporting period of 12th review (August 2014 - July 2015) was already over, precluding the producers/exporters to track and maintain CONNUM wise FOP accounts.
Based on favorable judicial and agency precedent, we hope to successfully challenge Commerce's new FOP reporting policy that was applied in the eleventh and twelfth review before the US Court of International Trade.
However, there is no gainsaying that the new policy is going to be applied in all future AD review proceedings. As such, beginning from the 13th review proceeding (covering exports during Aug. 2015-July 2016) that was kick started recently, the Vietnamese exporters will not be able to plead a lack of advance notice and shall, accordingly, be under a legal obligation to comply with the new "CONNUM specific FOP reporting" requirement.

We increasingly spend a vast amount of time on the Web and much of that time is spent reading. One of the main differences between reading non-Web based text and reading on the Web is the presence of hyperlinks within the text, linking various related Web content and Web pages together. Some researchers and commentators have claimed that hyperlinks hinder reading because they are a distraction that may have a negative effect on the reader's ability to process the text. However, very few controlled experiments have been conducted to verify these claims. In the experiments documented here we utilise eye tracking as a new methodology for examining how we read hyperlinked text. There is a well-documented tight link between when and where we look and what we process. Eye movements have been used extensively to help us to understand the cognitive processing that occurs during reading, but there has been very little research into how our reading differs when we read information on the Web.

2020 Tokyo Olympics to boost security with facial recognition technology
At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics next summer, hundreds of terminals from NEC and Intel will scan the faces of athletes, volunteers, sponsors, and other accredited people.
If you are an athlete, sponsor, volunteer, or journalist at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, you will be using a facial recognition system from chipmaker Intel and Japanese electronics giant NEC to get where you need to be.
According to Ricardo Echevarria, general manager of Intel's Olympics program, Intel and NEC are collaborating to provide a large-scale face recognition system for the Olympic Games. He said that the system was designed to help Olympics organizers ensure smoothly secure verification for more than 300,000 people who would be accredited at the games. They will register with photos from government-issued IDs.
Facial recognition has developed by leaps and bounds with the arrival of the sophisticated pattern-matching abilities of modern AI technology called neural networks. However, many are alarmed about pervasive computer surveillance, leading cities such as Somerville, Massachusetts, San Francisco, Oakland, and California, to bar police from using the technology.
Intel made no comment on the data retention aspects or privacy of the technology while NEC said that's the purview of the Tokyo Olympics organizers, who didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Intel and NEC said that it won't be a wholesale replacement for the old ways as accredited personnel at the Olympics will still have to wear traditional ID lanyards. However, the facial recognition system will be required: if someone tries to get access with one that's stolen or loses their lanyard, the facial recognition system will block them, according to NEC.
Intel is also helping to run a global esports gaming competition in parallel with the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Players from a group of 20 countries will compete in the videogame event, also including participation from gaming companies Epic Games and Capcom.
It is building virtual reality training realms which organizers and athletes can use to visualize arenas and other facilities.

The association between infection with Trypanosoma cruzi and the development of electrocardiographic alterations and mortality was studied longitudinally for 9 years in a population residing in an endemic area in Castro Alves, Bahia, Brazil. Annual censuses were begun in 1973. At 3 year intervals from 1974 to 1983, the population was examined serologically and subjected to electrocardiography using standardized techniques. Of 1,751 individuals registered during the 10 censuses, 1,541 (88%) were examined serologically at least once. Of 747 individuals in constant residence and originally seronegative, 24 were seropositive upon subsequent evaluation, giving a seroconversion rate of 4.92/1,000 person-years (PY). The overall rate of development of an abnormal ECG was 25.7/1,000 PY for seropositive individuals and 12.5/1,000 PY for seronegative individuals, a relative risk of 2. The 10–14-year-old seropositive group had the highest risk of developing ECG abnormalities (24.1/1,000 PY, relative risk = 3.5). The age-adjusted mortality rate of seropositive individuals was slightly higher than for seronegative individuals (8.9 vs. 7.8/1,000 PY). In sero-positive individuals, mortality was strongly associated with the presence of ventricular conduction defects and arrhythmias. Ventricular conduction defects appeared most frequently in young individuals. Older individuals presented the highest risk of development of frequent and multifocal extrasystoles.

US to deport former Microsoft employee to Russia
Former Russian Microsoft employee arrested in US for data theft - report
© AFP 2014/ John Macdougall
Tags: Theft, Deportation, Data leaks, Microsoft, U.S, Russia
MOSCOW, June 6 (RAPSI) – US authorities plan to deport former Microsoft employee Alex Kibkalo, who was charged with stealing and then leaking company secrets, to Russia after he serves his sentence, RAPSI learned on Thursday.
However, the former 7-year Microsoft employee who worked as a software architect in Lebanon could be extradited immediately after the reading of the verdict, which has been put off from June 10 to June 16. Considering the nature of the crime and its circumstances and the fact that he has pleaded guilty,
Kibkalo could be sentenced to up to 12 months in prison, but the prosecution stopped at 12 weeks. The court may decide that Kibkalo, who was arrested on March 19, has served his sentence.
Kibkalo worked for Microsoft in Lebanon, where he was allegedly feeding confidential data to a French technology blogger. According to Microsoft, Kibkalo uploaded pre-release software updates for Windows 8 RT, ARM devices, and the Microsoft Activation Server SDK code, software for a system used to guard against piracy, into cloud system Windows Live SkyDrive. He then allegedly forwarded the links to the uploaded files to the French blogger.
Microsoft did its own investigation "over many months with law enforcement agencies in multiple countries." Kibkalo admitted to the company's security service that he met the French blogger at an internet forum and provided confidential information to him.
Microsoft launched the investigation after receiving a complaint from an outside source, who asked not to be identified, saying that the blogger had sent the source the proprietary Microsoft code, asking the source to help the blogger understand it better.
Microsoft provided the FBI with the results of its internal investigation in July 2013.
According to the court documents, the blogger admitted during interviews to "knowingly obtaining confidential and proprietary Microsoft IP from Kibkalo, and selling Windows Server activation keys on eBay."

Presidential Election: 'I Will Contest' - Jonathan
Source: OUR REPORTER. - thewillnigeria.com
ABUJA, Sept 08, (THEWILL) - After months of speculations by the media, President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday informed Governors of the PDP controlled states that he will run in the 2011 presidential election and that a public announcement will be made on September 18.
The president dropped the hint in a meeting with PDP Governors at the Villa in Abuja immediately INEC released the timetable for next year's general elections. Jonathan's meeting is part of his ongoing consultations ahead of 2011 polls.
THEWILL gathered that the President used the meeting to also resolve differences between himself and the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi.
"The political differences between the President and Governor Amaechi have also been resolved. So there is peace between both camps," a source familiar with the meeting said.
THEWILL also learnt that that some of the Governors being hunted by the EFCC did not attend but Jonathan told them that time was not on their side hence the need to make the pronouncement.
Some of the Governors in attendance according to our source showed signs of resistance, notably the northern Governors who still believe that presidency still remains there.
INEC through its Commissioner in charge of media and publicity, Prince Solomon Soyebi yesterday announced the timetable to newsmen at the commission's headquarters in Abuja at about 5.15 pm Nigerian time. He did not field reporters' questions.
The time table indicated a strict compliance with the new Electoral Act and a tacit confirmation that the revised 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has taken effect, thus consigning the various arguments and debate as to the propriety or otherwise the need for presidential assent to the dustbin.
The time table as tight as it were also fixed between next week September 11 and October 30, 2010 for political parties to conduct their primaries and the issuance of notice of elections would be on October 13, while public campaigns by parties commences on October 17, 2010.
In the same vein, the collection of INEC forms CF001 for affidavit and form CF002 for list of candidates by political parties would start on October 19 and end October 22, 2010.
But the last days for submission of same forms to the INEC headquarters for candidates is; National Assembly, November 22, 2010, Presidential candidate, November 29; and December 6, 2010 for Governorship and State Assembly elections.
Political parties wishing to withdraw or substitute candidates for the elections have the following dates to contend with, November 30, 2010 for National Assembly candidates, December 7, 2010 for Presidential Election and December 14, 2010 for governorship and State Assembly elections. The last day for the submission of nomination forms by political parties is December 14, 2010.
Nonetheless, INEC say campaigns officially close on the following dates; for National Assembly, January 14; Presidency, January 21; Governorship and State Assembly elections, January 28. All electioneering campaigns end on the eve of their respective poll.

Comments: Sara's importance fades after this episode and the following episode steers the series in a new direction.
Eliza Ward returns and begins her usual clamoring, except this time it includes premonitions of death.
Comments: A few fans have mentioned missing Andrew following his premature departure from the series. I'm not sure why, considering that he never actually did anything.
Comments: Not only does Clive Pettibone give the most lackluster marriage proposal to Muriel--He also deprives us of seeing a wedding that could have breathed life into this droning episode. What a jerk!
Comments: Felix learns a lesson.
Comments: The penultimate episode of the series goes out with a bang. Olivia shines again and Jasper tells the villagers not to sell out to gadgets. I wonder if he would still hold this position if any of his gadgets actually sold?
Davy's troublesome behavior, along with a nagging toothache, becomes too much for Rachel Lynde to bare.
Comments: The highest ranked Davy-centric episode. Rachel is hilarious and Davy is entertaining. Unfortunately, Davy's antics begin to ware on the audience as the series progresses.
Comments: Janet "bakes pies and exposes McCorkndale lies." Shh -- Just don't tell Sullivan that there never was a suffragette movement on Prince Edward Island.
Comments: Wait, are you telling me the formerly illiterate Davy is now inexplicably an English language whiz? That might be the real mystery of this episode.
After enduring taunting from his peers, Peter Craig becomes deathly ill.
Comments: Peg Bowen shines and Peter whines. Montgomery's implied future beau for Felicity, Peter Craig, is weakly portrayed and goes out with a whimper.
Comments: More like the "Mediocre Race." A total cop out by giving both Clive and Felix the victory and letting the race end in a disappointing tie. Felix should have won as the victory does nothing for Clive's character.
Comments: Crime doesn't pay... Unless your father is a powerful and influential political bully.

Q: Excel will not sort all columns on my worksheet I have a very basic worksheet with multiple columns and rows. I usually will sort one column to sort a-z and normally all data for those rows would follow the sort. Suddenly I am finding that if I sort one column, the remaining columns do not sort, even though I choose the "Expand The Selection". I have also noticed that after sorting, the worksheet is split into one set of columns on the left side that did sort, another set of columns on the right did not follow the sort. It is split. I have about 45 columns and 150 rows so the worksheet is particularly large.
Completely befuddled.

A: This happens when all the column is not a part of one table, even though it is within one sheet.

*

*Ctrl + A

*Clear all filters or sorting. Home tab -> Sort & Filter -> Clear

*Make sure that the headings are only present in the first column.

*Select the complete table region only.

*Home tab -> Format Table As -> Choose any of the options and check the heading available when prompted.

*Try sorting it either ways and it should work for all columns.

A: I have found in some circumstances that the table simply needs to be resized.
Follow these steps and see if they help:
1) click anywhere within your table
2) click Design
3) at the far left of the ribbon, click Resize Table
4) fix the data range so that the entire table is within the range, i.e. if the range says, C1:E114, and the A and B columns through row 114 should be included in range, adjust the range to A1:E114.
Hope this helps when all else fails.

A: Excel automatically tries to find your total data range, and it stumbles over blank fields. So if your cursor is in a line where there a blank fields in some columns, Excel could miss the columns behind the blanks fields (and similar for blank rows). This is still true when you chose 'extend'.
One solution is to 1. use Autofilters, that will make Excel remember what is in your range; another is to 2. put the cursor in a field where there are no blank fields in the row (and column); a third way is to 3. select the whole range yourself; and of course, the problem goes away if you 4. don't have blank cells anywhere.
I recommend the Autofilter solution if it doesn't bother you otherwise, as it makes sure that you don't accidentally sort some day a part only because you forgot to do 2. or 3.

A: In my case it was because I had empty hidden columns between the content columns and for some reason Excel was considering them as some sort of separator. For example if I clicked Ctrl + A while having a cell selected, it would only select the columns between the nearest empty columns.
In order to fix this, remove the empty columns.

A: If you selected yourself the range of cells, and it does not sort properly, you may have created tables within what you consider your table. To find out:

*

*Go right above the first line, on the top left, where the cell number appears (F16, M34, whatever)

*Select the arrow going down.

*

*Case a) nothing appears, it is all blank, then just try the solutions in the other comments

*Case b) some stuff appears. If so, these are tables, you need to get rid of them (it does not delete your cells)

To get rid of the tables:

*

*Click on each of the lines that appeared (the ones that appeared in case b). Basically, when you click on one, a bunch of cells are highlighted.

*Right click on any of the highlighted cells (basically you are right clicking on the whole range anyway)

*Go to table and delete the table (if "table" is not part of the menu when you right click, you did not have any table created)

*Repeat these steps for all of the tables (i.e., for each line that appeared when you clicked on the drop down menu next to the cell name)

You can now happily sort your data.

A: Does your data have filters? If so, select header row with filters, then remove all filters (right click, Filter, clear filter). Then select header row again, and add filters back. After doing so I was able to sort my data and all columns sorted. Hope this helps!

A: You most probably added new columns after filtering former columns, so new column headers "have NOT filter signs". Excel exclude these columns when you filter.
So, clear filtering by clicking on Sort$Fliter>Filter, then add the filter sign to "all" columns again by hitting the Filter button again. There you go!

A: I have a solution.
 U have to have Sort column next to your data and it will do the right thing.
Hope will help u.

A: Excel puts blanks at the bottom when you sort.

*

*Ctrl-G (Go to)

*Click Special

*Check Blanks, click OK

All blanks will now be selected. Select a background color to change all blank cells.
Now you can sort by color and have blanks appear at the top.

Mental Health and Wellness with Felicia Wong
Felicia Wong, Photographed by Noel Besuzzi and Jason Wong
We are so grateful to our expanding and ever-evolving community -- and all of the knowledge, new ideas, and inspiration that they bring into our lives. One such member of our community, Felicia, is a mental health professional who works in Psychiatry and Wellness in Orange County -- and we recently spoke to her about mental wellbeing, her advice for these trying times, and how best to support ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. See below for a few deeply resonant insights that Felicia shared with us throughout our conversation, each of which feels so particularly potent and vital as we process the events of this past year and move into the next.
"I was born and raised in New England, and my parents are immigrants -- born in China just after World War II. They came to the US for grad school in their early twenties, and had my older brother and myself here. Growing up, I had the opportunity to study traditional Chinese dance and musical instruments -- so by high school, I became a cultural performing artist. It was my way of celebrating diversity and sharing my culture with my community.
Being a dancer, I had a pretty serious back injury when I was 19. During that time, I often felt depressed and demoralized. I had a lot of existential angst and stress; externally, I looked fine but I was in pain almost constantly -- my friends and even family sometimes had a hard time understanding why I could not do something or why I was struggling. I overcame this difficult period of my life with chronic pain with gratitude, therapy, meditation, and self-care. I realized that before I could take care of anyone else, I had to learn how to take care of myself.
The experience also brought me compassion for people who have more complex suffering -- such as chronic pain or mental health which are more intangible. People can look fine on the outside, but they don't feel good inside -- and it's not something that is easy to relate to.
Right now in my role at Kaiser, I run the emergency- and hospital-based psychiatry service for Orange County … Where I work, our emergency room is just so full that we had to open up extra units. As a psychiatrist, our primary job is to consult for patients -- but I can also see the stresses on my colleagues, my team, nurses, and the staff -- and that's been really hard to go through as well.
It's not just about COVID; it's about your health care services and your health care team. Our system is overwhelmed -- so many doctors are working day after day after day after day, without the normal ways to balance out the stresses of the job. They're doing this to take care of you and your family, your community."

Q: All of the numbers coming out about the pandemic also show how many women have had to put their careers on hold. Do you have any advice for women going through this?
A: "We can all attest to this fact -- that there's been a much more significant burden on women than their husbands and on men. Whether that's just in the workforce or taking care of other people just in general -- women are asked to do and juggle a lot more than what we already usually do, and that can be overwhelming and stressful.
I think something that is important is to make space for the different complex feelings we've all been going through. This has been an incredibly trying year, and we're not asking or expecting people to be okay or "fine". That's not helpful; that's not really healthy. Women need to feel safe to feel and share - 'I'm exhausted, I need to cry, I miss my friends, I miss my trips.' It's important to be able to grieve and express these emotions, and hopefully, find some sources of support. I hope everyone can recognize that it's important to allow yourself that grief and space. To breathe in. breathe out. Vent. Veg. Fill that cup in whatever way works for you (take a walk, a bath, sit in your car just a few minutes more for alone time) so that you can continue to pour and give.
It's also important to manage expectations. This is not the time that we are necessarily going to all reach our ultimate goals. If you can, great! But I think just realizing that the most important thing is to take care of yourself, take care of your loved ones, and get by one day at a time and get what's important done."
Q: Is there anything that you recommend for people to do to take care of themselves during this time?
A: "I think focusing on what you can control is key. This year has been a crapshoot; it's not just COVID-19, we've also just had these microtraumas again and again and again -- so I think it is also important right now to feel those feelings, go through that grief, but focus on what you can control.Focus on what you do have power over. I think that helps us feel that we can cope with the day to day. Something that is really helpful when we feel overwhelmed is just break it down into something you can control and focus your energy on: 'What can I do today?' And if you have extra energy, to help comfort or take care of other people.
Something else I think has been really helpful during this year is gratitude. For me, my gratitude practice stems for decades, because I really feel like a large part of my recovery from my depression and chronic pain was through practicing gratitude.
Not isolating and connecting with others is really important, too. This year, we've had to pivot a lot -- but with creativity, we can still find goodness and inspiration and, quite honestly, joy. I think the outdoors is really healing -- following guidelines, of course, it's good to get outside for a walk or even just to pause and appreciate the sunset."
{Stevens F.P., Pike's Peak at Sunset, 1902}
Q: How do you deal with regulating intake of media and news?
A: "There is something very appealing and exciting and addicting about technology. The pull to keep on reaching for it is not anyone's fault -- there are all the studies that show that technology can be an addiction. I'm all in support of having a technology detox, and I think everyone needs to have a sense of how their intake of media, social media, and the news impacts them. I try to focus a lot of my time on social media in connecting and chatting about ideas -- and that feels really positive to me. But if people are starting to have arguments online, or if the news is just too much for them to process and they don't have someone to discuss it or bounce it off, then it's a sign that it might be the time to turn it off for a bit."
Q: Can you speak to how to help kids during this time?
A: "I'm going to speak generally as a parent -- because while I do take care of the whole lifespan at the hospital, from little kids to seniors, I think that my biggest experience is that as a mom. Everyone's situation is different, but what I can say seems to work for us -- and what kids seem to appreciate -- is structure. I have to say that, after seeing how the months passed, I think that seeing them participate in the regular activities and have stability has helped them. For kids to have structure, stability, and consistency is really important.""

Memorial ideas in Brighton
How to remember your loved one in Brighton.
Rianah NtanyaCremation Specialist
There are a few ways to establish a memorial for your loved one in Brighton, from donating a tree to a local park, dedicating a bench in the city, to placing a plaque in the garden of remembrance.
Remembering your loved one in Brighton
Donate a tree to a Brighton park
Dedicate a bench in the center of Brighton
Place a plaque in the Garden of Remembrance
What can you do with the ashes after a cremation?
Keeping ashes in the house
If your loved one chose to be cremated and have their ashes scattered, you may be wondering where you can visit to remember them instead of a grave or crematorium.
A non-traditional memorial can be a lovely way to remember your loved one. It will give your family and friends a special place to go and think about your loved one, which will be especially meaningful if you're able to set it up in a spot that was important to them, such as their favourite park, for example.
Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to set up a memorial for your loved one in Brighton, including placing a plaque at the Garden of Remembrance, dedicating a bench in the city to their memory, or donating a tree to a Brighton park in their name.
Find your funeral director in Brighton who will help you arrange a cremation or burial, and give you ideas for a meaningful memorial.
Memorialisation is the process of preserving memories of the person who's died
This could be displaying a memorial plaque, scattering their ashes in a special place or having a bench created in their memory.
Honor your loved one's memory by donating a tree in their name to a Brighton park or open space with the Tree Trust.
There are more than a dozen parks and open spaces in Brighton where you can plant a tree, including Preston Park, Queen's Park, and Hove Park. Applications for tree donations should be made before September 30 for that year's planting, which starts in December.
The city does not allow plaques nor flowers to be placed on the trees, but it could still be a dedicated spot for you and your family and friends to visit and think about your loved one. The Tree Trust also invites donors to be involved in the planting of the tree and can tailor planting ceremonies.
Dedicate a bench in Brighton to your loved one and create a space for reflection in the city. It could be a place for your and your loved ones to visit and quietly remember the person who has died, or it could be a place for you to meet up and share memories.
Spend some time considering what you would like written on the bench's plaque, (the council recommends that you use no more than 50 characters), and then fill in a form asking the council if you can dedicate a new bench or adopt an existing one in your loved one's memory.
Brighton and Hove City Council says that they are unable to give new benches at Preston Park or The Level, but you can adopt an existing one. The council also cannot give new or adopted benches in Hove Park, St Ann's Well Gardens, Pavilion Gardens and along the Brighton and Hove seafront.
Place a memorial for your loved one at the Garden of Remembrance in Woodvale cemetery. You can choose to place either a woodland walk log memorial, a rosebush memorial plaque, or a plaque on a tree in their memory.
The woodland walk area has pathways lined with wooden logs on which memorial plaques can be placed. It could be a quiet place for you and your family to wander and take in the woodland plants and wildlife while remembering your loved one.
You could also choose to donate 30 woodland bulbs or 20 Daffodil or Narcissus bulbs to help contribute to the flower planting throughout the Woodvale grounds in your loved one's name.
Placing a plaque on the woodland walk log memorial costs between £350 and £374 for five years, a plaque in a rose bed costs £395 for five years, and a plaque on a dedicated tree costs between £600 and £624. A plaque on a memorial bench with a single dedication costs £1,350 for five years and a plaque on a shared memorial bench costs £500 for five years.

No doubt about it. Americans have fallen in love with their dogs. We have dog walkers, dog groomers, dog parks and dog-friendly hotels. We buy organic dog food, put our pets on puppy Prozac and dress them up in costumes for Halloween. In the last 15 years, the amount of money spent on pets in the U.S. jumped from $17 billion to $43 billion. The role of dogs has changed. Fido has moved from the backyard doghouse to the master bedroom, evolving from man's best friend to a bona fide family member!
Recent research shows they can read our facial expressions and pick up subtle cues that even toddlers can't, and any dog owner has experienced moments where it seems like there's an almost extrasensory frequency by which our two species communicate. What owner hasn't come home on a bad day to find his dog immediately understanding, and offering a little extra love as a result?
And the best part of this relationship is how simple it is. While we often ask so much of them, they require almost nothing in return. You can ask your dog to chase a Frisbee, take a nap on the couch, herd some sheep, or run around a show ring and he'll do it, happily, for hours on end. He only wants to be fed, and told he's good, and most of all loved. If a dog has love, he really needs nothing else.
Unlike your kids, who some say will bug you for money until the day you die.
Dogs are popular pets in many countries. A British survey from 2008 says people are "choosing dogs over kids" – citing the economic downturn as the primary reason for the shift in thinking, 60% of survey participants said they would put off starting a family or choose to not have children altogether due to the uncertain economic future, and of that 60%, 25% said they would adopt a dog instead. In Japan (with an already low birthrate) and India, clearly the pressure to excel in one's career has many young, two career couples choosing a dog over a child to complete their family.
"Couples Choose Pet Over a Child" (India), and "Dogs – The New Kids of Japan", and "Couples Choose Dogs, Not Kids" (Great Britain).
Humans and dogs have lived in close proximity for thousands of years. The effect of pet ownership on human health has been studied on a number of occasions but has been somewhat inconclusive due to the difficulties in studying such a complex relationship and assigning direction of causation.
Pets provide companionship and also probably confer physiological health and psychological benefits . For example, pet owners have fewer doctors visits and longer survival following heart attack, compared to non-pet owners. However, it has become increasingly apparent that pets are an important source of zoonotic infections.
Approximately 30 to 40 organisms that cause zoonotic infections are known in companion animals, including dogs. Some groups in human society are at greater risk of zoonotic infection due to their immune system or behaviour, for example young children, the elderly, pregnant women and the immunocompromised.
In ancient Egypt, dogs were thought of as being trustworthy and loyal, in the same way we do today. For the ancient Egyptians, dogs were kept as household pets although playing with or patting them was not overly encouraged. Dogs also had other qualities that endeared them.
The Islamic legal tradition has developed several injunctions that warn Muslims against most contact with dogs. Traditionally, dogs have been seen as impure. This can be proven by the presence of zoonosis. Unfortunately, many Muslims have used this view to justify the abuse and neglect of dogs, even though cruelty contradicts the Qur'an.
So why do otherwise normal humans with decent jobs and sound minds spend all of their free time and much of their disposable income on what seems like such a frivolous pursuit—primping and preparing their dogs to be judged in the show ring?
The best explanation for everything canine, from the evolution of the wolf to the domestication of the dog to the incredible emotional relationship that has emerged between the modern pet and its owner is that dogs feel what we feel. This is how a dog "knows" its place and what it must do to get along, a process that has been crudely approximated and grossly misinterpreted as a dominance hierarchy and a learning-by-reinforcement theory.
It helps us see that there can be a form of intelligence that has nothing to do with thinking, and this is being expressed by the intelligent ways that dogs adapt to human civilization. If we don't apprehend the energetic essence that all things have in common, our mind will perceive the inside as being distinct from the outside, the mind separate from the body; time segmented into a past, present and future; nature disconnected from humans; and our dog as a separate conscious being apart from ourselves. We will not see that dog and owner are connected by emotion and going by feel.
When we see a problem behavior in a dog, before we set out to fix the messenger, we might first take care to hear the message.
Everything a dog does and even its personality is a one-to-one translation of what it's owner is feeling. In a dog the heart is the network's (dog's) brain. Dogs don't and can't think, they do not respond to what their owner thinks, says or even does; rather dogs react to their owner's emotion as a form of attraction.
Dogs don't project thoughts onto their owners, they project a feeling. Emotions are universal code among all animals, from mouse to moose to human, and what dogs feel and then do represents a decoding of an owner's thoughts, actions, feelings, memories, and instincts back into the primal emotional logic that best expresses the owner's emotional, or animal, mind.
More people are forgoing children because they feel it just doesn't seem right to bring a child into a world with so much man-made suffering, a world where, to borrow from poet Robert Burns, man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn. So we cling to the perception that animals are nicer and more enjoyable than, and even morally superior to, humans.
But valuing pets over people discounts one fact: While animals make great companions, offer health benefits, and can be a source of endearing affection (as Aldous Huxley said, "To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs."), they live in a different moral universe than man.
As I have said before, Human beings are created in the image and likeness of God. And though capable of monstrous acts, human beings also have the ability – unique in creation – to demonstrate heroic forgiveness and compassion.
To know something as an unshakeable truth isn't a thought, it's a feeling. Imagine if we could meet someone and virtually on sight, feel what that person was feeling. And, I don't mean trying to imagine how they are feeling, or asking. I mean actually feeling the other person's emotion, without any thinking whatsoever, an empathic communication of pure energy, a one-for-one transference in every nuance and subtlety of one individual's feelings to another. If such direct communication were possible, then we would have no need to save face or hold onto a feeling that was no longer present. There wouldn't be two points of view to reconcile; there would be only one emotional point of view. We would find ourselves responding to that person and to all other and behaving just as dogs do; from heart to heart.

Q: Mutliple DispatcherTimer instances running simultaneously in C# WPF I have a WPF application that needs to generate screen shots of currently open windows, but each window must have its own DispatcherTimer where the image is generated on the Tick event. Each window has its own interval. The problem is that I fetch the list of windows from a database so I do not know at runtime how many DispatcherTimers need to create. So I won't know how many Tick event handlers I need to write.
Can someone show me an example where this can be dynamic based on the number of windows? This is what I can come up with so far. My list of windows comes from a component:
 private List<DispatcherTimer> m_dispatcherTimers;

m_mimicGroupsToCapture = SystemConfigurationComponent.GetViewCaptureMimicGroups();
        foreach (var mimicGroup in m_mimicGroupsToCapture)
        {
            m_dispatcherTimers.Add(new DispatcherTimer { Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Convert.ToInt32(mimicGroup.CaptureIntervalInSeconds))});
            // Assign event handler to this instance's Tick event.
        }

        // Start all timers.
        foreach (var dispatcherTimer in m_dispatcherTimers)
        {
            dispatcherTimer.Start();
        }


Del Webb has an extensive history of creating active adult communities that people flock to. In fact, the company is essentially responsible for creating the active adult phenomenon that has swept the country over the last few decades. Del Webb's Sun City, in Arizona, was not only the first successful active adult community in the country, but is perhaps the most famous. Aside from standard amenities, Sun City provided a lifestyle unique to age-restricted communities of that era. It was community and lifestyle-based and was intended to give residents a sense of belonging. The first Sun City furnished a lifestyle coordinator, restaurants and shops, and a list of clubs and activities residents could join in on. Retirees welcomed this tremendous shift from the more traditional 1950s "retirement community". The rest of one's life was suddenly viewed as having the potential to be the best of one's life. Since then, Sun City communities have popped up across the country. And, Del Webb active adult neighborhoods and communities of all names, shapes and sizes are among the most popular in the U.S. In 2017, Del Webb Communities claimed five spots on the list of top ten active adult communities in the country. Sun City, Hilton Head in Blufton, South Carolina took the #1 spot.
Decades of tweaking and perfecting an already effective formula led to lots of happy homeowners and residents. So, the Pulte Group, one of the top developers in the country, folded Del Webb in as their age-restricted, active adult communities partner. Pulte is fond of saying that Del Webb does much more than build a beautiful home. They also build a place to belong.
Now, Del Webb is literally everywhere you want to be.
Our top Del Webb choices are listed below. So, if particular locations suit the life and lifestyle you want to manifest, fill out the form to request more information. Then, sign up for a discovery visit. After all, there's no way to know until you go!

Over 75 years ago, Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), formally known as Future Homemakers of America, was founded at a convention in Chicago, Illinois when 29 Home Economic leaders came together with the idea of creating one national student organization aimed at preparing today's students to be tomorrow's leaders in the home and workplace. On June 11, 2020, FCCLA celebrated its 75th anniversary and legacy of making a difference in families, careers, and communities across America.

50th anniversary of Future Homemakers of America
Future Homemakers of America was changed to Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America at the National Convention in Boston, MA. Our futuristic oval logo was voted on by FCCLA members. This futuristic logo may not hold the traditions of the past logo, but it shows that FCCLA is a dynamic, active organization bound for the future. The dominant collegiate lettering articulates a focus on education and student leadership. The logo is red, the color of the rose as a sign of strength. The swooping arrow arch is a common motif in today's designs and definitely embodies an active organization that moves toward new arenas. With its space-like feel, this logo is sure to last through the next fifty years, but will always be linked to the time when FHA at the turn of the century changed to FCCLA.
"The Ultimate Leadership Experience" tagline was adopted.
FCCLA/Life Smarts Knowledge Bowl was introduced as a new competitive event.
FCCLA Leadership Academy was launched to provide national opportunities and recognition to any FCCLA member seeking leadership development.

Georgia FCCLA Region Officer leadership program transitioned to Region Officer Teams, allowing up to three members per region to represent Georgia FCCLA on the region level.


No one knows more about a workplace than its employees. Employee opinions reflect basic measures, such as pay, perks, benefits, and hours worked. But they are also influenced by factors such as a company's culture, internal politics, and even general mood — intangibles that can be lost in internal audits and consultancy surveys.
Employees in certain sectors are far more likely to offer a positive opinion of their employer than others. Technology companies are certainly well represented among the highest-rated employers, as are consulting firms. Of the 75 best companies, only 12 received an average rating of 4.0 or higher out of 5. Of these, four are in the technology space — Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and Riverbed Technology — and three are consulting firms.
Being a market leader also appears to help. Many well-reviewed companies are the leaders in their respective industries, and as a result are financially successful. Apple, Intel, Procter & Gamble, and Walt Disney are all among the top-rated employers on Glassdoor.com and among the largest public companies in the world by market capitalization. Others are leaders in public relations, like Edelman and auditing giant EY, formerly Ernst & Young.
Many of the best companies to work for have cultivated an extremely strong reputation among the broader public as well. American Express, Facebook, Google, and SAP are all among the best companies to work for and among the top companies by brand value, according to brand consultancy BrandZ. Top employers also perform well according to other measures of brand awareness, such as CoreBrand and Interbrand.
Not surprisingly, companies with strong employee reviews also give CEOs good grades. It would seem leadership matters, not just for running a company and producing returns for shareholders, but also for promoting employee satisfaction. Among the 75 best companies to work for, 38 have CEOs with an approval rating of 90% or higher. In all, just 10 CEOs have an approval rating below 80%, and all have the endorsement of at least two-thirds of their employees.
Employees at these companies also frequently cite a good office culture and work-life balance. In many cases, employees also praise a company if it promotes learning or training opportunities and career development. At several of these companies, employees also note a good benefits package, which is uncommon in many industries, such as retail.
LinkedIn is the nation's best company to work for, based on ratings awarded by current and former employees at Glassdoor.com. Of course, high pay doesn't hurt employee morale. According to Glassdoor.com, the average software engineer reported an annual salary of $127,817, while the average senior software engineer reported an annual salary of $145,192. Like other technology companies, LinkedIn has excellent perks and good, free food, but employees at the company also rave about good work-life balance and a confident, inspired leadership. In fact, 97% of reviewers have a high opinion of CEO Jeff Weiner, higher than all but a few other CEOs. However, LinkedIn is also proof no employer is perfect — the company recently agreed to pay $6 million to hundreds of employees for unpaid overtime, plus damages.
Facebook is a rapidly growing and highly profitable company. It is also increasingly successful at reaching users on their mobile phones. The company's success has not only captivated investors — Facebook's market capitalization is currently $189 billion — but also potential employees. In fact, technology giant Google was so worried about employees leaving for Facebook that it began to provide a counter offer to employees recruited by Facebook within one hour, The Wall Street Journal recently reported. Strong benefits and perks are just one of the repeatedly mentioned advantages of working at Facebook, according to Glassdoor.com. A relatively flat hierarchy and a fast-paced workday are other characteristics of the company that employees enjoy.
Specialty chemicals maker Eastman receives rave reviews from employees. Workers at Eastman frequently cite work-life balance, helpful colleagues and strong teamwork, as well as a good corporate culture in their reviews. Workers also praise the company's dedication to workplace safety. According to the company, safety forms one of Eastman's core values. The company publicly tracks and discloses its own safety track record, as well as its internal goals for workplace safety. The small town nature of Kingsport, Tennessee, where Eastman is headquartered, is among the few complaints occasionally mentioned in Glassdoor.com reviews.
Insight Global is an IT staffing firm, filling over 20,000 positions a year, according to the company. Workers who were assigned jobs through the company rave about its staffing practices, noting that Insight Global's recruiters are polite and exceptionally helpful. Many reviewers on Glassdoor.com also note that they were placed very quickly. In one such review a worker notes, "I literally got a job in under 24 hours!" Insight Global says it is on track to exceed $1 billion in annual revenue by the end of 2014.
Bain & Company is the highest-rated consulting firm on this list, surpassing rivals McKinsey & Company and Boston Consulting Group. Bain notes on its website that, historically, client companies have dramatically outperformed the S&P 500. Also indicative of the company's success, current worldwide managing director Bob Bechek received a nearly unanimous approval rating of 99%. Employees praise the company on multiple fronts, citing its emphasis on professional development and the quality of the workplace culture at Bain. When employees do complain, it is about long hours and demanding travel schedules.

Men in White has been thinking about reducing waste since 2005. You could say that Men in White has been *green* since it became the new black! Furthermore, in the future, being Green is going to be the new Red, Blue and White (i.e.: it will be the patriotic thing to do!). This is not our idea, it belongs to Tom Friedman.
The Reclaimer in action The EPA three bucket process. 15 L of grey water treated from painting walls in a room in a red colour. Right hand side bucket holds the paint slurry that has been floculated out of solution, and the middle bucket holds the water left over once the slurry has been separated. This process is continued until the water is clean enough to go into the left hand side bucket (and be tested to be Ph neutral) and be discharged onto bare earth The solid waste generated from 15 L of grey waste water.
Men in White is committed to improving sustainable painting practices.
We are currently experimenting with a system of washing brushes and rollers that uses 50 per cent less water.
We treat the waste water to separate the paint component. This process allows for clean water to be released into the environment while the paint waste is collected and disposed of responsibly.
MIW acknowledges Bill Kruger for his innovation in developing this method into a commercial application.www.paintreclaimer.com.au.
Our commitment to this process, and to sustainable painting in general, was recognised by Dulux who named Men in White the Dulux Accredited Painter of the Year NSW 2005.

Randomized, controlled study on adjuvant immunochemotherapy with PSK in curatively resected colorectal cancer. The Cooperative Study Group of Surgical Adjuvant Immunochemotherapy for Cancer of Colon and Rectum (Kanagawa)
Dis Colon Rectum. 1992 Feb;35(2):123-30. doi: 10.1007/BF02050666.
T Mitomi 1 , S Tsuchiya, N Iijima, K Aso, K Suzuki, K Nishiyama, T Amano, T Takahashi, N Murayama, H Oka, et al.
1 Department of Surgery II, Tokai University, Kanagawa, Japan.
A randomized, controlled trial of adjuvant immunochemotherapy with PSK (Kureha Chemical Industry Co., Tokyo, Japan) in curatively resected colorectal cancer was studied in 35 institutions in the Kanagawa prefecture. From March 1985 to February 1987, 462 patients were registered. Four hundred forty-eight of those patients (97.0 percent) satisfied the eligibility criteria. The control group received mitomycin C intravenously on the day of and the day after surgery, followed by oral 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) administration for over six months. The PSK group received PSK orally for over three years, in addition to mitomycin C and 5-FU as in the control group. At the end of February 1990, the median follow-up time for this study was four years (range, three to five years). The disease-free survival curve and the survival curve of the PSK group were better than those of the control group, and differences between the two groups were statistically significant (disease-free survival, P = 0.013; survival, P = 0.013). These results indicate that adjuvant immunochemotherapy with PSK was beneficial for curatively resected colorectal cancer.

Lauren Alaina's 'Getting Over Him' EP Spills Feelings Over Her Public Breakups
Adison Haager
Lauren Alaina is leaving the past behind, but not before putting her past relationships into song.
Alaina's new EP, Getting Over Him (Sept. 4) hones in on her most recent public breakup and her emotions after processing that relationship. The six-song compilation includes two duets: "Getting over Him" with Jon Pardi and "What Do Think of?" with Lukas Graham.
Before the EP took shape, Alaina faced not one, but two breakups. The first was the ending of an engagement to longtime boyfriend, Alex Hopkins. Then came her breakup from Christian comedian John Crist. She jumped straight into competing on Dancing With the Stars after that, and specifically with her relationship with Crist, she didn't have time to process the downturn.
Lauren Alaina says she's the girl who is always happy and looking to find the positives in any situation, so juggling her happiness and mourning the end of a relationship wasn't the easiest.
After finishing fourth on Dancing With the Stars, she left with more than just a ranking in a competition: She found new strength and confidence. She knew in this next season of life, it was time for her to take the reflection and healing she had experienced while competing on the show, and mold those reflections into songs.
"I felt like if I was going name it Getting Over Him, I gotta put all sides of the breakup in there," Alaina tells Taste of Country and select media during a recent chat.
See American Idol's Best Country Singers, Then + Now:
Although the EP is about a breakup — her breakup — it's not sad, but empowering.
"This collection of songs is me remembering to love myself when someone else doesn't," Alaina says. "I'd rather be alone and have this music, than be in a bad relationship and not have It, so I'll take it."
There are two songs on the EP that were harder for her to release to the public, simply because of how vulnerable and true to her story they are, starting with "What Do You Think Of?"
"It's really kind of hard for me to listen to, like I almost didn't put it on here," the one-time American Idol star admits. "I remember just being so sad and I was on Dancing With the Stars, and was trying to pretend like I wasn't sad all the time."
Although she's no longer sad about the breakup — she has grown so much since — Alaina admits that listening to her new music is hard for her, but she's confident in her decision to add it to the EP.
"I'm so thankful that Lukas Graham decided to do it with me, because that made me have the backbone to put it out," Alaina notes. "Everything in it is really true. You know, sometimes you write songs and they are about someone, but not specific to a story. That one is very specific to our story."
She mirrors a similar transparency with "Bar Back," another new track.
"Those two make me cringe a little bit. I get really nervous when I write songs about other people, too, and they are definitely going to know that they are about them. Other people are going to be guessing, but the guy is going to be like [mouth drop]," the singer says.
From what Alaina has shared, she hasn't given a heads up to the people she's written about that these songs are coming, so they will hear it for the first time along with her fans.
"Everything about this has been hard," she says, with the coronavirus pandemic and her breakup(s) in mind, "Except the fact that I was able to really take a deep breath and figure out what I wanted to say. I was gifted time for that."

3. "Bar Back"

Fr. George Plathottam
A celebrated singer and teacher of Syriac chants,
preceptor of seminarians, and a holy priest.>
Copyright ©2019 Joseph J. Palackal
Fr. George Plathottam. Solemn sung Qurbana in Syriac
"Etha Pus lek" from funeral services for priests in the Syro Malabar Church
Fr. Plathottam was gifted with a melodious voice and a passion for the Syriac music heritage. He trained several young seminarians and priests to celebrate the solemn sung Qurbana in Syriac. Bishop Joseph Kallarangatt (diocese of Pala), who celebrates Syriac Qurbana frequently, acknowledged that his Excellency was lucky to have received training from Fr. Plathottam (see Aramaic Project 15).
I am immensely grateful to his Excellency Mar Jacob Angadiath, Bishop of St. Thomas Syro Malabar Catholic diocese of Chicago, for introducing Fr. Plathottam to me, in May 2006. I listened to one of his Syriac chants and realized the uniqueness of his voice, which evokes devotion in the minds of the listeners even without understanding the meaning of the song text. Bishop Angadiath agreed to my suggestion to document Fr. Plathottam's distinct style of celebrating the Syriac sung Qurbana. The bishop provided financial assistance to organize the recording. This video may serve as a source material for researchers as well as prospective celebrants. In 2014, Fr, Plathottam sang for me the famous Syriac chant ēdtā pūšlēk, the farewell song from the funeral services for priests of the Syro Malabar Church.(Aramaic Project 81). A transcription (in staff notation) of his rendering is included in my chapter "The Survival Story of the Syriac chants among the St. Thomas Christians in South India," in The Oxford Handbook of Music and World Christianities (Oxford University Press, 2016; see ). We pray that this saintly priest continues to intercede for everyone who supports the Aramaic Project.

People type:
I was trained both in Classics (BA Cambridge) and in European and Comparative Literature (MPhil Cambridge, DPhil Oxford), working especially on German and Modern Greek literary and cultural history. I taught for twelve years in the Classics Department at Princeton University (2002-2014), where I was also affiliated with the Program in Hellenic Studies.
My main research interests lie in the field of antiquity after antiquity, and in questions of the disciplinary shape of Classics and the history of scholarship: why, and how, do classicists ask the questions they ask? I have published a monograph on the literary representations of contemporary Greece in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (Placing Modern Greece, Oxford, 2008). My current book project, entitled Feeling and Philology: Studying Antiquity in Nineteenth-Century Germany, forthcoming from Cambridge UP, is a look at the lasting rhetorical strategies and organizing metaphors of scholarship. I am currently working on a new project on symphilology and questions of scholarly community, and I continue to be interested in the transnational aspects of scholarship, asking what happens to classical knowledge when it migrates between places and contexts (especially in Europe and America). I teach on a wide range of topics and genres in Greek literature (tragedy, comedy, epic, philosophical dialogue, ancient biography) and their afterlife, as well as on Modern Greek literature and culture. I am also a founding member of the Postclassicisms collective (www.postclassicisms.org), and I am currently the editor of the Classical Receptions Journal, published by Oxford University Press.
Greek literature; reception studies; the postclassical; history of scholarship; ancient biography; Aristophanes; Modern Greek literature.
I teach most areas of Greek literature at the undergraduate level; on the graduate level, I have particular interests in Reception Studies, theoretical approaches to antiquity and its study, Aristophanes, the history of scholarship and of knowledge of antiquity, the biographical (ancient and modern), and the history of Homeric scholarship.

#ChefsForMozambique: WCK Serves Hot Meals to…
Nate Mook Executive Director, World Central Kitchen
#ChefsForMozambique: WCK Serves Hot Meals to Survivors of Cyclone Idai
Topics: Food, Climate and Resilience

When Tropical Cyclone Idai made landfall in Mozambique on March 14, it left so much devastation in its wake that it's being called one of the worst weather-related disasters to ever hit southern Africa. In total, nearly two million people have been affected by the storm. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and more than one million acres of crops were destroyed. Communities were completely cut off due to flooding.
Just five days after Idai made landfall, World Central Kitchen's (WCK) Chef Relief Team arrived in Beira, Mozambique to assess the situation. WCK is a non-profit of chefs creating smart solutions to hunger in the areas of disaster relief, health, jobs and workforce development, and food security. Since Fall 2017, we've served 8 million chef-driven meals through 23 activations with more than 44,000 volunteers to people in the aftermath of these situations. WCK responded to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, wildfires in California, the El Fuego volcano eruption in Guatemala, the Federal government shutdown across the United States, and more.
"This is massive. We cannot forget the people of Mozambique" – Chef José Andrés.
Shortly after arriving in Beira, we activated a local kitchen and #ChefsForMozambique began. After just over a month, WCK's Relief Team has served more than 260,000 meals to survivors in part with a generous donation of $250,000 from The Rockefeller Foundation. With this donation, we've been able to provide more than 10,000 meals each day. We have operated out of two kitchens and were able to set up hand washing stations to prevent the spread of cholera in the camps housing those who have been displaced. The Foundation has long been committed to fighting food insecurity in the region in line with its mission to promote the well-being of humanity. WCK is thankful to have this support in the aftermath of Cyclone Idai.

We've had the honor to work with some amazing chefs through #ChefsForMozambique. Chef Elsa had just stepped off another WCK relief operation, #ChefsForNebraska, when we asked her to join us in Beira; she landed and two hours later was up and running in Kitchen 2, where she oversaw a team of 30 volunteers and the delivery of 4,000 meals per day. Chef Elsa has been on relief efforts with WCK all over the country, including Florida, California, and Hawaii, and it was incredible to have her in Beira.
WCK's #ChefsForMozambique team has delivered hot meals to camps housing displaced families, in hospitals and clinics, and in schools across Beira. None of this would be possible without the support of local volunteers. The Chef Relief Team has had the help of up to 140 volunteers a day showing up in the early morning hours for their neighbors. By working with the local community, we are able to learn what the needs are, directly from those impacted. We always work to serve meals that are familiar and comforting to those in crisis, and we always purchase as many local ingredients as we can. Buying food locally helps to keep dollars in the impacted economy, which will in turn help speed up the recovery process. Buying local, employing local, and utilizing local expertise are all core to our relief efforts.

In the kitchen, Chef José Andrés, WCK's Founder, explains, "A lot of chicken, a lot of vegetables, a lot of cabbage today, with peppers, tomatoes, carrots… we always try to employ local, buy local when we can," said Chef José Andrés. "This is massive. We cannot forget the people of Mozambique."
Wherever there is a fight so that hungry people may eat, we will be there.

The wedding on the blog today will forever hold such a special place in my heart and I'm so excited to share it with you! This wedding was my first time shooting at the State Capitol (both inside & outdoor!) and it did not disappoint – the pillars & stairways are just stunning, I seriously can't wait for more sessions here! Despite the beauty of this place, the reason that this wedding day is so special to me is because of the couple that vowed their lives to each other here.
This special couple shares a deep love for many things – their dog Allie, an ice cold beer, and politics! In fact, Kyle works at the Wisconsin State Capitol as a Senate Chief of Staff and he met Ashley a few years ago when they were both working on the same campaign! Because of their unique love story, their entire wedding day had a "campaign/political" spin to it, which was so fun to see! After an intimate ceremony in the Capitol, we spent a few hours alone together taking bride & groom portraits and it was so worth it!!!
I only met Kyle & Ashley a few days prior to their wedding (check out their engagement session here!) but on their wedding day, I felt like I truly knew who they were as a couple. When I greeted them in the morning, they embraced me with hugs that were meant for friends not just a wedding vendor. Soon after I got done shooting details, Kyle & Ashley shared their first look with each other and Kyle's reaction was pure gold (seriously, scroll down to see his face!). However, the most meaningful part of their entire day took place just seconds after when the two exchanged private vows with each other. As I stood behind the camera, completely humbled & misty-eyed, I was once again reminded why I chose this beautiful career path. To witness a love as great as theirs is the greatest gift of all.
