Indy Park Ride & Fly Announces New Airport Parking Website
Thursday, July 26, 2012 9:14 AM
Indy Park Ride & Fly today announced the launch of its new website dedicated to making parking easier and more cost-effective for the millions of passengers who travel in and out of the Indianapolis International Airport.
The new Indy Park Ride & Fly site (www.indyprf.com) offers quick and simplified access to essential information on parking, as well as highlights Indy Park Ride & Fly's competitive discount rates, vehicle services and Indianapolis airport parking coupons.
"We know when it comes to parking at Indianapolis International Airport, customers have a lot of options," said Phil Wertheim, Owner of Indy Park Ride & Fly. "Ultimately, travelers want to know which is the best facility, has the lowest rates, is safe and secure, and offers fantastic service. I'm proud to say we have it all. And now we have a great new website to showcase all the outstanding benefits that come with choosing Indy Park Ride & Fly."
The new, user-friendly site for Indy Park Ride & Fly has a variety of menu options, a vibrant design, and is dedicated to delivering engaging and informative content to travelers in the Indianapolis area.
Featuring airport parking deals, customer reviews, and frequent customer rewards—including the pay-as-you-go Indy BizXpress pass—an Indy Park Ride & Fly mobile site will also be coming soon, with exclusive features for Indy BizXpress fast pass members.
In addition to the new website, Indy Park Ride & Fly has also added to its already impressive list of facility upgrades. There's now a covered area for pick-up and drop-off, and in keeping with Indy Park Ride & Fly's commitment to the environment, there's even an electric charging station service for hybrid vehicles.
"With our merger back in 2008, we really expanded Indy Park Ride & Fly," said Wertheim. "We moved to a new lot, grew to over 2,300 airport parking spaces, and were able to offer everything from self-parking service to optional valet, as well as complimentary luggage assistance, free shuttle service to and from the Indianapolis airport terminal, and select car care services. To continue to provide the latest and greatest ideas in parking facilities and services is immensely rewarding—both for us as a company and hopefully to our valued customers."

SBU News > Medicine > Dr. Bao Joins Surgical Oncology
Dr. Bao Joins Surgical Oncology
Philip Bao has been named Assistant Professor of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, at Stony Brook University Medical Center. Appointed by Todd K. Rosengart, Chair of Surgery, Bao specializes in the treatment of malignant and benign tumors of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract including liver, pancreas, esophagus, and stomach.
Bao comes to SBUMC from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pennsylvania. He joins the Upper Gastrointestinal and General Oncologic Surgery Group, a team of experts dedicated to broadening minimally invasive surgery for complex GI tumors and other diseases of the GI tract.
"The appointment of Dr. Bao is an important addition to our robotic upper GI surgery program," said Kevin T. Watkins, Chief of the Upper Gastrointestinal and General Oncologic Surgery Group. "Dr. Bao's experience and skill will assist us in performing robotically assisted minimally invasive surgery."
Bao uses standard open surgery as well as laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques when possible. In addition, for cancers spreading along the surface of the abdomen, he provides treatment using experimental modalities such as heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
Bao's research interests include intraoperative tumor imaging and surgical navigation, decision analysis for cancer management, as well as minimally invasive technology. As a surgical resident, Bao was granted a National Research Service Award (National Institutes of Health) as principal investigator for his study, "Tracked Laparoscopic Ultrasound for Use in Liver Surgery."
While at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, he earned a Certificate in Clinical Research during his fellowship in surgical oncology. This year Bao was selected for inclusion in the latest edition of Guide to America's Top Surgeons, published by the Consumers' Research Council of America.

Olympic champion Jason Kenny and British team-mate Jess Varnish settled for sprint bronze at the track cycling European Championships in Apeldoorn.
Kenny eased through the qualifying rounds but lost to Germany's Robert Forstemann in the semi-finals.
But he recovered to edge out German world champion Stefan Botticher in two straight races in the battle for bronze.
However, it was not without controversy - Botticher was relegated for encroaching on Kenny's racing line after taking the honours in their second race.
Varnish - a bronze medallist with Becky James in the women's team sprint on Friday - progressed to the semi-finals at the expense of fellow Brit Victoria Williamson.
But she lost to Holland's Elis Ligtlee before recovering to beat France's Virginie Cueff to claim another third place.
Double Olympic champion Laura Trott sits third in the women's omnium standings at the halfway point, after finishing third in the elimination race and flying lap and second in the points race.
But the top three - including Holland's Kirsten Wild and Belgium's Jolien D'Hoore - are separated by just two points coming into the final three events on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Great Britain's Sam Harrison sits sixth in the men's omnium standings. He was in the podium places after a second on the flying lap and third in the points race but dropped down after a 16th in the elimination race.

2022: A year of difficult questions
A bright light amid the darkness
My blindness is not my weakness, but my greatest strength. I could see one day, but the next I could not. Once I realized I would be blind for the rest of my life, the challenge placed before me cultivated a strong motivation. I wanted to learn new and diverse ways of doing things. Each barrier became a challenge, and each challenge an invitation to overcome.
The story behind The Ismaili Sounds
In May 2020, while the world was in lockdown, The Ismaili TV hosted a virtual Shukrana Concert to commemorate Eid ul-Fitr. To prepare, the organising team issued a call out for song submissions, hoping for a few hours worth of content. The response was overwhelming. A new platform was soon created to showcase the musical talent of the Jamat – and thus, two years ago this week, The Ismaili Sounds was born.
Facing my fears, year after year
As part of the one percent of the population who stammer (stutter), I know first-hand the challenges that come with having one. I remember the feeling of dread when being asked my name or if I had to speak on the telephone. Ever since I was young, I've been on a journey to find the courage to face my speaking fears.
Mental health care for all: Let's make it a reality
Mental health isn't just the absence of mental illness. It extends to a more holistic spectrum of emotional and social well being, and affects how we think, feel, and act. To raise awareness of mental health issues globally and mobilise efforts around it, World Mental Health Day is observed on 10 October every year. This year's theme highlights the urgency to make quality mental health care a reality for all.
Teachers: Inspiring tomorrow's leaders
The 20th century writer William Arthur Ward once wrote that "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." On the occasion of World Teachers' Day 2021, we celebrate the teachers and educators in our Jamat that continue to inspire us week after week, and thus help to positively shape the future of humanity.
Improving quality of life in remote communities
In Pakistan, the Ismaili community is scattered all over the country, with a substantial number residing in the mountainous valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral. These valleys are known for their beauty and splendour, but also bear many socio-economic and environmental issues. Jamati and AKDN institutions continue to provide access to basic services in the region.
Striving for a bright future
High school student Aimaan Sayani has lived in Pakistan and Canada, and spent five years studying at the Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa, Kenya. "When I used to hear Aga Khan Academies students talk about studying there, and when I read about the school, I was so intrigued," she said.
Science has no boundaries at Aga Khan School in Osh
Dr Sadru Damji, a TKN volunteer based in Toronto, Canada, recently led an interactive and exciting online chemistry class in May 2021 for a group of grade 11 students at the Aga Khan School in Osh, Kyrgyzstan.
Singing together in the spirit of harmony
The festival of Eid al-Adha celebrates the common humanity and ethical heritage shared by the three Abrahamic faiths. A new musical composition performed by artists in the UK harnesses a long-standing relationship between three faith communities and illustrates the strength found in diversity.
Interning at AKDN: A student's story
University of Central Asia student Payrov Dehqonov interned at the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat, and helped to analyse data in order to better prepare communities in Tajikistan that are at high-risk of being impacted by natural disasters.
Innovation for communication: Increasing deaf accessibility and inclusion during the pandemic

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The End of Life Option Act, Assembly Bill X2-15 (Eggman), goes into effect today. Passed by the Legislature, signed by Governor Brown, and supported by Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, the Death with Dignity law allows patients of sound mind who are suffering from a terminal illness and meet certain qualifications to request aid-in-dying medication.
When Jones served in the State Assembly, he co-authored with Assemblywoman Patty Berg AB 374 of 2007, an earlier aid-in-dying bill. At the time, Jones recounted his own experience taking care of his terminally ill grandfather. His grandfather was suffering from the end stages of terminal cancer. His grandfather wanted, but could not, end his life with dignity on his own terms.
Some insurance questions have been raised about the new California law, including how the new law might affect consumers and their loved ones. Under the new law, if a terminally ill Californian, who meets the criteria in the law, chooses to take the medication to end their own life, the law is clear that this is not a suicide, so life insurance policy exclusions for suicide do not apply. Consumers and their families with questions regarding the new law or its application are encouraged to contact the department online or toll free at 1-800-927-4357.

Oprah Winfrey Reveals What She Thought After She Googled Herself for the First Time
By Liz Calvario 5:00 PM PDT, July 6, 2018

Oprah Winfrey has the most amazing life -- and she knows it!
The 64-year-old media mogul has worked hard for her career and isn't afraid to reap the benefits of her success. Speaking with British Vogue's editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, the global powerhouse gets real about staying true to herself, what she would be doing if she wasn't famous and what she thought after she Googled herself for the first time.
"The beauty of my life is that from 32, 33 on, I figured out how to be myself completely on television and all these years I have made a fortune being myself," Winfrey, who covers the August issue of the magazine, proudly states in a video posted Thursday. "So I'm never not me. I'm never not the person that you see. There are days when I'm more open and warm than others."
Oprah Says 'I'm In' for Potential 'Oceans 9' Film (Exclusive)
Explaining that she's never "been restricted by the fact that I have a life that other people know about," Lady O admits she's done well for herself.
"I just have the most amazing life," she expresses. "I Googled myself the other day for the first time, I am so impressed with myself! This is what I didn't know. I was the first African American self-made billionaire, donated more to charity in the 20th century than any other African American. This is really good."
But there was a time when she worried too much and revealed what her advice to her younger self would be. "Oh, honey. Oh, baby girl, what the world has in store for you," Winfrey says. "First of all it would be 'relax,' it would be, 'stop being afraid,' and it would be, 'everything is going to be alright. No matter what it will all be OK.'"
As far as her biggest frustrations in the current industry, it's her impatience with the younger generation expecting instant success.
"My biggest frustration is with young people who think that success is supposed to happen like that," Winfrey snaps her fingers and says. "They think that there isn't a process to it. They think that they're supposed to come out of college and have their brand. And I recognize now that I am a brand, but I was resistant to being called a brand for many years… But how I got to be a brand was not by trying to be a brand."
Her path was "making the right move" and the next move and the next move, never stopping and expecting to make it overnight. But if she hadn't found fame and fortune, she could see herself teaching.
"I would definitely, definitely, definitely be teaching in classroom because it's the thing the still brings me the greatest joy," Winfrey shared. "It is my favorite moment in the world when you can see someone get it."

Australia's northeast coast braces for strongest cyclone in three years
Apr 11, 2014 636 Viewed Alka Anand Singh Comments Off on Australia's northeast coast braces for strongest cyclone in three years
Sydney: Residents and tourists on Friday were evacuating parts of Australia's northeast coast, home to the Great Barrier Reef, as the strongest cyclone in three years was poised to hit land later in the day, bringing destructive winds and flash floods.
Cyclone Ita, a category five storm, is expected to make landfall north of the tropical city of Cairns, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said.
Wind gusts of up to 300 kmh (186 mph) and torrential rains are forecast, posing a threat to about 9,000 inhabitants, said Campbell Newman, premier of Queensland state, where the storm is expected to hit land.
"Severe tropical cyclone Ita…poses a serious threat to communities along the far north Queensland coast," the weather bureau said.
The storm's projected course should carry it to land on Friday evening, spreading over an area of about 400 km (250 miles), Queensland emergency officials said.
The storm was still classified as a tropical depression when it barrelled across the Solomon Islands late last week, killing at least 23 people near Honiara, the capital, according to the United Nations.
Sugar farmers in Queensland, who grow about 95 percent of the sweetener produced in Australia, are bracing for potential damage to up to 7 million tonnes of cane, industry groups said.
Australia, the world's third largest exporter of raw sugar, has seen production devastated by cyclones in the past, most recently in 2011, when cyclone Yasi ripped through Queensland, causing estimated losses of A$3.5 billion from damage to property and reduced tourism earnings.
Sugar production in 2014/15 is forecast to total 4.4 million tonnes, the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics and Sciences said in March, up from 4.2 million harvested in the previous year.
While the cyclone poses a threat to Australian sugar output, beleaguered cattle farmers may benefit from widespread rain after prolonged drought forced farmers to send record numbers of animals to slaughter as grazing land wilted.
The Great Barrier Reef, one of Australia's most visited tourist attractions, stretches more than 2,000 km along the Queensland coast and is the world's largest coral reef system.
The Great Barrier Reef has lost half its coral cover in the last 27 years, the Australian government said in a 2012 report, with storms responsible for nearly half of that damage.

'Old Europe' presses ahead with plans for an EU army
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in Brussels 30 April 2003 • 00:01 am
"Old Europe" threw down the gauntlet at the feet of Britain, the United States and the Atlantic Alliance at a mini-summit yesterday, unveiling plans for a new Euro-army with its own military headquarters.
France, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg - described by some in the US as the "Axis of Weasel" - vowed to press ahead with a full-fledged defence union, brushing aside warnings that the move would entrench the European Union's bitter divisions over Iraq and could lead to the break-up of Nato.
A new rapid reaction force would be built around the existing Franco-German brigade, taking in Belgian commandos and units from Luxembourg. It would answer to a headquarters in the Brussels suburb of Tervuren and be ready for joint operations next year.
Jacques Chirac, the French president, insisted that the plans would bolster Nato by making Europe a more credible partner for Washington, and denied there was an attempt to set up a rival to Nato's operational command. "The aim is not to decouple European Union and Atlantic Alliance defence efforts," he said.
But M Chirac gave out mixed signals when he gently rebuked Tony Blair for advocating a "one polar world" and warning of a new Cold War if Europe tried to become a rival power to America.
"Quite naturally a multi-polar world is being created, whether one likes it or not. It's inevitable. For balance to exist, there will have to be a strong Europe. Relations between the European Union and the United States will have to be a partnership between equals," said M Chirac.
He invited all 25 of the EU's current and future states to join the new defence core, but the so-called New Europe camp - led by Britain, Spain, Italy and Poland - has reacted with deep suspicion. Ana Palacio, the Spanish foreign minister, said the proposals were "counter-productive" and would cause needless division at a delicate time.
Nato came close to buckling earlier this year when France, Belgium and Germany refused to sanction delivery of Patriot missiles to Turkey, a fellow member. A Nato spokesman reacted cautiously to the new plans yesterday, saying he was "concerned about the risk of unnecessary duplication".
The four leaders called for the creation of a "European Command for strategic air transport" by 2004. The new force would have to rely on US airlift or leased Ukrainian planes until the Airbus A400M military transport aircraft was ready for service later in the decade.
There will be a "joint European protection capability" against weapons of mass destruction, a tactical training centre for pilots and helicopter crews, and an "EU-FAST" emergency relief unit for humanitarian crises.
Separately, the group have proposed a European weapons procurement agency and a "solidarity clause" binding EU states to face all forms of risk together as elements to be included in the new European constitution.
It was unclear how the new machinery would fit into the EU's existing defence structure. Brussels already has a rapid reaction force, and military staff, which can draw on up to 60,000 personnel from member states. It began its first mission in Macedonia last month. But it is limited to peacekeeping and relies on Nato operational command.
While superficially similar, the new force is a different animal. It will be a fully-integrated Euro-army, and seems intended for combat in the future.
The picture is further confused by the parallel defence plans agreed by Mr Blair and M Chirac at Le Touquet in February calling for a joint Anglo-French aircraft carrier battle group.

Anomalije jezika spadaju u grupu kongenitalnih anomalija koje po svome izgledu i funkcionalnim smetnjama, predstavljaju medicinski i socijalni problem, a zbog složenosti zahtevaju multidisciplinarno lečenje koje traje od rođenja do adultnog perioda. Ovo stanje može uticati na dojenje, oralnu higijenu i na razvitak govora

Anatomija

Jezik (latinski lingua) je mišićno-sluzokožni organ smešten na podu usne duplje. Obavlja niz značajnih funkcija kao što su: govor, žvakanje, sisanje, gutanje, prenošenje utisaka u centralni nervni sistem itd. Sastoji se iz prednjeg dela ili tela jezika i zadnjeg dela ili korena jezika koje deli zavrđni žljeb (latinski sulcus terminalis).

Telo jezika
Prednje dve trećine jezika, ili njegov veći i pokretni deo, čini telo jezika (latinski corpus linguae), sa njegovim vrhom (apex linguae). Gornja strana tela se naziva i poleđina jezika i na njemu se nalazi sluzokoža prekrivena velikim brojem jezičnih papila, i to:
 opšančene papile (latinski papillae vallatae) , koje se nalaze ispod terminalnog sulkusa jezika u vidu obrnutog slova "V".
 končaste (latinski papillae filiformes) ,
 pečurkaste (latinski papillae fungiformes) i
 lisnate (latinski papillae foliatae) .
Koren jezika
Koren jezika (latinski radix linguae) je smešten pozadi i nepokretan je jer je preko mišića povezan sa podjezičnom kosti, donjom vilicom, slepoočnom kosti i nepcem i ždrelom. Sluzokoža koja prekriva koren jezika nema papile, ali je prekrivena limfnim čvorićima koji se zovu jezični folikuli.

Ventralna ili donja strana jezika pokrivena je tankim slojem sluzokože, koja u sredini pravi duplikaturu u vidu nabora (latinski frenulum linguae). Sa jedne i druge strane frenuluma linguae nalazi se papilla salivaris sublingualis koja predstavlja izvodni kanal podvilične (submandibularne) i podjezične (sublingvalne) pljuvačne žlezde.

Jezik sadrži pljuvačne žlezde koje se mogu podeliti na prednje (Blandin) i zadnje (Ebner). Pored ćula ukusa i mrvljenja hrane jezik učestvuje pri gutanju,
žvakanju hrane i formiranju govora.

Mikroglosija

Mikroglosija (latinski microglossia), je jako mali jezik. Ovo je jako retka anomalija i ne predstavlja smetnje u gutanju kod novorođenčeta, ali u kasnijem periodu života deteta mogu nastati problemi sa govorom.

Ankiloglosija

Ankiloglosija (latinski ankyloglossia) je anomalija u kojoj je jezik prirastao za pod usne duplje celom svojom dužinom.
Terapija
Leči se hirurškim odvajanjem jezika. Novonastali defekt se pokriva kožnim transplantatom koji vrlo brzo metaplazira u sluznicu.

Frenulum breve

Frenulum breve jezika (latinski frenulum linguae breve) je skraćenje resice (veze jezika za pod usne duplje), tako da dete ne može da isplazi jezik i ima smetnje sa izgovorom prednjenepčanih suglasnika.
Terapija
Leči se presecanjem ove veze, što treba uraditi čim se postavi dijagnoza frenuluma.

Makroglosija

Makroglosija (latinski macrogossio) je uvećan jezik. Ona može biti primarnna (urođena) ili je uvećanje jezika nastalo kao posledici hemangioma ili limfangioma. Kada je jezik jako velik, on izlazi iz usne duplje, sasušuje se i predstavlja velike funkcionalne smetnje u gutanju, disanju i govoru.

Jezik može biti relativno uvećan, kada je on normalan, ali je usna duplja mala, kao npr. kod Pire-Robinovog sindroma. Kod ovog sindroma dete ima rascep sekundarnog nepca, hipoplaziju mandibule (donje vilice), relativnu makroglosiju i pri tome jezik zapada i dete se guši, otežano diše i ne može normalno da jede. Ove smetnje mogu biti različitog stepena.
Terapija
Zavisno od stanja, lečenje se sastoji od postavljanja deteta u položaj potrbuške do hirurškog fiksiranja jezika za desni. Ovi problemi obično nestaju u periodu od 4 do 5 meseca života.

With the military conflict between the Sri Lankan state and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) over, much post-war discussion concerns the future of the country's Tamil citizens. As international furor grows over the 250,000+ internally displaced people in government camps in the country's north, the question remains: what is the path forward for minorities in the Sri Lanka? Protests by the Tamil diaspora show that many abroad still see militarism and secession as necessary to meet the aspirations of Tamils in Sri Lanka. The presentations and discussion will attempt to open up debates about the political future of Sri Lanka's minority citizens.


As we gather together as the church in worship, we draw near into the presence of the living God. Here we read that it's not simply that God comes down and gives us a glimpse of His presence. No, He lifts us up into His heavenly throne room (for that's the only way that we could be worshipping in the presence of 'an innumerable company of angels' and 'the spirits of just men made perfect'). In fact, when we worship in the UK, we worship along with those in Malawi, Belgium, South Korea, Chile, and the rest of the world, for we come 'to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven'. We join with the church around the world and throughout the ages as we worship, for our God lifts us all up into His heavenly presence.
And so, in worship, we don't remember Christ and what He has done for us from afar; no, we worship in the very presence of Christ our Mediator who shed His blood for us. As we worship, we know the immanence (nearness) of the Triune God, not because He becomes less transcendent (high and lifted up), but because He lifts us up into the heavenly places.
And Hebrews 12:22-24 isn't a strange one-off passage on this theme. In 1 Cor. 11:10 we see that we worship in the presence of the angels. Ephesians 2:6 tells us that God has 'raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.' In Revelation we see John, who is worshipping 'in the Spirit on the Lord's Day' (Rev. 1:10) on earth, being lifted up into the reality of the heavenly worship (in Rev. 4-5).
We're not conscious of this reality in the same way John was in his vision. We're not even always mindful of it. But the Bible tells us that that's what happens when we come to worship: God lifts us up into His heavenly presence. We do indeed come before the Throne of Grace.
Now, don't get me wrong. We do not ascend into God's presence by our singing. Earlier in the week, one of the pastors said something very similar to me to what the person said on the way out the door on Sunday, but this was after a meeting at staff conference that didn't involve any singing, just preaching. Our fervency in singing is not a work we perform to get into the presence of God. No, it's God Himself who lifts us up. And so we sing in His presence. We listen to His Word in His presence. We pray in His presence. We break bread in His presence. And sometimes, while we sing, listen, pray or break bread, we get a glimpse of the heavenly reality. And sometimes we don't, but by faith we know that the heavenly reality is the reality.
Picture: Lord's Day worship in Malawi.

Hillsboro coach Dennis Boldt has been focused on the start of track season during practices at Wiens Stadium, but with three returning state medalists from last year, it wouldn't be a stretch to speculate the season will end with another trip to Cessna Stadium.
Senior Emily Sechrist, a perennial state-medalist in cross-country and track, placed second in the 3,200-meter race, third in the 1,600, and seventh in the 800 at last year's state track meet.
Two-time cross-country state qualifier Karyn Leihy will run alongside Sechrist in the distance events.
Senior Grant Knoll will pace the boys' team, coming off a seventh-place finish at state in the 1,600. He'll seek to qualify in the 3,200 as well, and as needed will run the 800. Knoll has signed with Emporia State University to run distance events.
Having proven performers as senior leaders is a plus for the entire team, Boldt said.
Junior Marah Franz is the third returning state medalist. She cleared 10 feet in the pole vault to place second. Although Boldt will use her in some sprints and relays, he said Franz has found her niche in pole vault, and returning to state will be her primary focus.
The girls' team will benefit from three athletes Boldt said bring unique combinations to the squad.
Freshman Abby Sechrist is a triple threat, Boldt said.
Boldt typically trains runners in sprints or distance races, but not both. Kennedy Klein may be an exception.
Franz will have a protégé in pole vault, Sienna Kaufman, when she's not working on other events.
On the boys' side, Cody Craney and Franklin Jost will hold down the weight events. Craney, who has signed to throw for Pratt Community College next year, specializes in the shot put and javelin. Jost does discus as well, and Boldt said he continues to develop.
The Trojans are without a high jumper, but freshman Kaden Ward will anchor the long jump and will pole vault. Another freshman, Brodie Rathbone, will be competing in the triple jump.
A new addition to the squad is senior Justus Hilliard, who played baseball last year.
Boldt said his overall approach is to find the events where his athletes can perform well, but not to overload them.
"When you have 18 different events, kids only have so much time to work on different events," he said. "We concentrate on the individual first. We want to put kids in a position where they will be successful. If you can find that early in the year, then you can possibly look at other events.

The US might begin spying on citizens in the name of cybersecurity
The US Senate has voted 74-21 to pass the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), a bill that will allow tech companies to share user data with government agencies — dealing a blow to citizens' privacy.
CISA has not yet become law. Similar legislation has been passed by the House of Representatives. Both versions must now enter a conference committee before being presented to President Obama for approval.
The proposed act, which aims 'to improve cybersecurity' in the US, will encourage companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter to share information that may contain a 'cyber threat indicator' with the Department of Homeland Security without a warrant, which in turn can pass it on freely to the National Security Agency (NSA).
The issue with CISA is that it doesn't include safeguards to prevent companies from sharing irrelevant personal data. So if you've sent emails, messages and tweets thinking only you and the recipient can see them, think again.
Last week, Apple told The Washington Post, "We don't support the current CISA proposal. The trust of our customers means everything to us and we don't believe security should come at the expense of their privacy."
Gizmodo notes that recent attacks, like the one on the Office of Personnel Management in which over 21 million records were accessed, have the Senate worried and hence eager to pass cybersecurity bills like CISA, no matter how intrusive they are. But it could lead to more problems for citizens than anyone bargained for.
Gabe Rottman, legislative counsel in the ACLU Washington Legislative Office said:
This bill will make our digital lives both less secure and less private. It will funnel an enormous amount of sensitive information into government hands, where it can be used in cases that have nothing to do with cybersecurity. The government will be able to use this private data for programs that look exactly like the mass NSA surveillance revealed over the past several years. We thank those senators who sought to improve the bill, and especially those who opposed it outright, but this is a bad day for civil liberties.
Unfortunately, it looks like CISA might indeed become law — President Obama has already endorsed the bill and indicated in August that he wants to sign it.

This article was published in the August 2009 issue of php|architect.
Adminer is a feature complete MySQL administration tool with the aim of compactness. The whole application consists of a single file as small as possible. This request influences the code design of Adminer and this article describes the way of reaching that target.
As a freelance PHP programmer, I often get a task to check some problem or implement new functionality at a strange site. I usually get only FTP credentials without further documentation about the application or about the client's hosting. If the task consists of some database manipulation then I have to discover or modify the database structure without any tools or remote access to the database server. I can usually install phpMyAdmin in the web space but it currently consists of 11 MB in 666 files and I became quickly tired of uploading this package with every new task (and removing it after the task completion).
Therefore, I started to create a compact alternative of phpMyAdmin consisting of a single file easy to upload and delete anywhere. Initially, it was a simple tool with basic commands such as the table structure, select, SQL command and export. Later, I have added more and more features so now it is a feature complete MySQL administration tool including even the MySQL 5.1 features (events and table partitioning). Adminer implements some features (such as triggers or stored routines) in a more comfortable way than the bigger competitor but the basic goal of a single file is still valid.
Note: The project's original name was phpMinAdmin. I chose that name as a joke to emphasize the fact that phpMinAdmin is a minimalistic version of the famous PHP MySQL tool. (By the way do you use Lynx or Links?) This name was however confusing and invoked the feeling that phpMinAdmin is only a weaker alternative of phpMyAdmin.
When the size of adminer.php started to grow then I have realized that it would be wise to split the file for manageable development. Nevertheless, I still wanted the all-in-one file so I have created a compilation script that joins the files back together.
This code is not universally usable because it finds only the include "" variant. It would be necessary to process the file with token_get_all function and find all include variants. The _once variants would be more difficult. There can be also a global level return.
They can be integrated in the main HTML code – style sheet by <style> tag, images by utilizing the data: protocol. The problem with this approach is that Internet Explorer < 8 does not support this protocol. The second problem is that the browser would need to transfer these data with each page repeatedly.
The files can be integrated in the source code and a special parameter would serve them. Did you ever notice the PHP logo in the output of phpinfo? PHP downloads it from the local server with a special query string ?=PHP…. Adminer uses a similar approach and saves the files Base64 encoded in the source code (the encoding is not necessary but it simplifies the script editing in common text editors). This approach allows the HTTP caching of the external files which Adminer utilizes.
Note: PHP 5.3 comes with a support for PHP archives through the phar extension. With this extension, it is possible to pack several files to one archive and access the files inside the archive from PHP. Usage of the webPhar method allows packing most of the PHP applications to one archive and there are instructions for creating phar version of phpMyAdmin in the PHP manual. Adminer does not use this extension and works with PHP >= 4.3 and PHP >= 5.0.
The compilation script also minifies the code – it removes comments and trims white space. The minification code is based on a work of David Grudl who uses it for his brilliant libraries Texy, dibi and Nette. This function is more effective than the internal function php_strip_whitespace.
Current version also shortens the names of user variables and functions. It finds the variables and functions in the source code with token_get_all function and replaces them by shorter identifiers. The shortening process skips the internal PHP variables and functions. It would be possible to shorten them too but it would be more complicated and it would have a performance penalty. Some PHP variables have their super global feature so it would be necessary to globalize their aliases inside the functions.
The internal functions can be enclosed in envelope functions with shorter names. This approach is however problematic because the PHP functions can have optional parameters without the default values (example of this function is fwrite which detects the number of passed arguments instead of their values). Universal function func_get_args does not work with the references on the contrary.
Alternative approach would be to define a variable for an internal function (e.g. $fw = 'fwrite') and call the function through this variable: $fw($fp, $string). Adminer however does not use neither approach because it would slow the application down.
The file would be much smaller if it would be compressed. PHP supports several compression algorithms but only through an extension. I was thinking about a simple decompression function written in PHP which will unpack the rest of the file but it will need to eval the decompressed code and everybody knows that eval is evil (one reason is that it is not compatible with PHP accelerators). Therefore, the code is not compressed but only minified.
I develop Adminer in English. There is also a Czech version (which is my native language) from the beginning and Adminer is currently available in 11 languages. All messages are served by a simple function, which checks the current language and returns the correspondent translation.
The caller of this function saves the language to a cookie after the first detection. A user can change the language anytime while staying on the same page. Saving the page language to a cookie is a very bad practice on a public site because the search engines then can index only one version of the page. It is however acceptable in Adminer because the search engines do not index the pages and the main content of the page (e.g. the table structure) is the same in all languages. The reward for storing the language in a cookie is a simpler URL while it is still possible to enforce the language by passing the language identifier in the query string.
Translations are stored in a simple array where the key is a message identifier (which is an English version of the message and it is used if the translation does not exist) and the value is a string with the translation. The value is more interesting with messages containing a number (e.g. "1 row" or "2 rows"). Most languages have different singular and plural form but some languages (e.g. Czech or Russian) use more plural forms depending on the number (e.g. Czech "1 pivo", "2 piva" or "5 piv" for beers). The messages with numbers are stored in an array instead of string and Adminer contains a simple logic for each language choosing the right form depending on the number.
By default, Adminer comes with all languages. The compilation converts the translation array to values only and changes the identifiers to numbers to save some bytes so each translation takes about 4 KB. The compilation script is able to create also a single language version, which removes the translating function and the language detection completely. This file takes only 111 KB for the English version of Adminer 1.10.1.
PHP allows connecting to a MySQL database through three extensions: mysql, mysqli and pdo_mysql. Adminer supports all of them and contains a simple abstraction layer for these extensions. The abstraction layer emulates the subset of mysqli and mysqli_result classes for all three extensions.
PDO support is little tricky because PDO uses exceptions for reporting connection errors. Adminer cannot use the usual try block to catch these exceptions because it runs also on PHP 4. Everything is in a single file so the PDO support cannot be conditionally included only in PHP 5. The solution is to use set_exception_handler function to process the connection errors. PHP 4 also does not support class constants on the syntax level so the source code uses the numerical values of the constants instead.
The most important part of the security in Adminer is surprisingly the defense against Cross-site Request Forgery. CSRF allows an attacker to perform actions in the name of a logged-in user. Adminer stores the login information in a standard session so PHP can send the session identifier in a cookie and the defense against CSRF is necessary. Adminer sends a token with each form and checks this token before performing the operation of the form. A token protects even the logout action which is often forgotten in other web applications.
Very important is also the protection against Cross-site Scripting. Outputting the HTML code stored in the database could reveal sensitive information to the attacker so htmlspecialchars function escapes every output.
Adminer has also a protection against the SQL injection but it is not in the name of security – if the attacker already logs-in to the Adminer then she could execute any SQL code by the SQL command page. Therefore, the protection against the SQL injection is only a side effect of proper manipulation with the user input – a user can pass any data to the database. If Adminer detects the magic_quotes_gpc then it neutralizes this directive and uses a proper escaping function only when passing the data to MySQL.
Calling of session_regenerate_id after the login prevents session fixation.
Every page of Adminer contains the robots: noindex meta information to hide the page from search engines.
It saves one request, the login form is sent directly to the target page.
User can bookmark any page, which displays directly after the login. The redirection to a login form approach can achieve this too but it is much more complicated (the login form needs to get the returning URL, check it for validity and redirect back after the login because the Referer header is not reliable).
If the session expires before sending any application form then the posted data prepopulates the login form with the hidden fields.
The sent files are also stored to hidden fields and there is a little layer serving the files from the $_FILES variable or from the posted hidden fields.
It is possible to log in without filling the form by passing the ?username= parameter. A user can use this feature in a secure environment where he authenticates by some other mean (e.g. on localhost without a remote access or with HTTP authentication). However, it is not possible to pass the password in a GET parameter which would be very insecure. Adminer uses the value of mysql.default_password configuration directive in this case. The demo application uses this approach to automatically log in the users.
Adminer sends all action forms by the POST method. If the action is successful then it redirects the browser to a page showing the result with a confirmation message. This message is stored to a session variable after performing the action and the beginning of each HTML page processes this session variable. There is a theoretical chance that other Adminer page opened simultaneously in a different browser tab can catch the message and display it instead of the original page. However, the period between setting the message and displaying it is very short so this probability is low. Besides, the consequence of this coincidence would be small – the user would get informed about the result, just in a different tab.
An alternative to this approach would be to send a message ID or the message itself in the URL but it would clutter the browser history. In addition, the page refresh would maintain the message on the page, which is not desirable.
If the form action produces an error then the page directly displays the error message with the form prefilled by the sent data. The code does not redirect the browser in this case, which allows a user to refresh the page with the sent data if the error was only temporary (for example if it could be fixed in other browser tab).
Adminer supports SQL and CSV import and export. The most interesting variant of export is the one using the ALTER command. There is often a different database on the production and the development server. If you have made some changes in the database structure which should go to the production server during a release then dropping the old table and creating the new one is not an option because there are live data in this table. Adminer is able to generate a set of ALTER commands synchronizing the databases. It utilizes a stored procedure which explores the production database and alters it to conform to the development version. New tables are created as usual, old tables are dropped, missing fields and indexes are added.
Adminer always queries all data directly from the database with one exception. Getting the database list could take a very long time if there are many databases on the server even if the user has access only to couple of them. Because each page displays the database list then it is cached to a session variable. This variable is refreshed if a user creates or drops a database either from the user interface or by the SQL command.
Closing a session by session_write_close is a performance optimization with a little impact. The default PHP session handler locks the file with a session data, which prevents the web server to serve multiple requests of the same user at the same time. This is very important on sites using frames where it is a common situation. Adminer does not use frames but a user can still open several browser tabs with Adminer at the same time. Adminer writes all the session data and closes the session as soon as possible to allow the maximum concurrency.
Performance of the same operations is 28% faster in average (2 × 23 tests).
Start after login is 56% faster (2 × 4 tests).
Finally, understanding of the source code was 100% faster.
The demo is one of the best ways to present the features of some product. I have created some sample database and made it accessible from the website through Adminer but users have started corrupting it quickly. I was thinking about periodically restoring the database but it would not work because in the meantime the database would be still corrupted. On the other side, users working with the database during the reset would be surprised what is happening. Restricting the actions would cripple the demo, so it was not an option either. Other possibility was to emulate the database access in a session for each user but it would be a very complex task and it will not present all the features of Adminer.
Finally, I have ended with creating a separate database for each user entering the demo. The script initializes this database by a sample data after login to the demo and destroys it after logout. A cron job drops the databases of users who did not log out. The demo user has powerful privileges to present the most features of Adminer so it was necessary to restrict the list of databases to disallow accessing databases of other users. Each MySQL user can also modify her password and users of the demo application quickly discovered it. Thus, the demo disables also this feature.
I did not want to create a separate version of Adminer just for the demo so I have made all customizations by auto_prepend_file. The prepended script restricts the database list, disallows changing of password, initializes the demo databases and drops them.
Selenium IDE can create the tests very easily. It is possible to just push the record button and work in a browser as usually. The recorded test can be modified afterwards so if you are checking some feature in the application then why not to record a test for it?
I was curious how much code is tested and I was interested in which parts of Adminer need tests that are more thorough. It can be find out by the code coverage. I have used the Xdebug extension, which has the ability to measure the code coverage. It is well suited for running unit tests because the code coverage is computed for the whole run of the tests. But the web application tests are different as they compose from several requests and the code coverage is computed for each request separately. The solution was quite easy – I have registered a shutdown function saving the code coverage to a session and joining it with the previous results.
The code coverage of Adminer is around 75 %, which is satisfactory. For comparison, the code coverage of PHP source codes is around 70 %. I was very glad that the tests exist when I refactored some parts of the application. I was quite sure that the refactoring did not break anything when all the tests have passed.
There is a RSS feed with the project news and e-mail subscriptions for the new releases. Some users however just install the current version and forget about it. For this reason, the Adminer contains a version checker.
If the current version is old then the script modifies the document to display the new version number. The client side checks the sent cookie so the communication with the server is only occasional.
I am not an artist so the style sheet comes from freelance graphic designer Ondřej Válka. The design is simple and tidy as the whole Adminer so I like it. Other users however like more fancy designs so they created their own. The design can be easily integrated to the single file by own compilation but users like to test several designs so Adminer checks if the external file adminer.css exists. If it does exist then the script uses it instead of the integrated CSS.
This article is about the Adminer architecture, not about its features. However, it should be clear that Adminer supports all MySQL features from a simple table editing, through multiple-columns foreign keys, triggers, stored routines, export, user and processes management to the MySQL 5.1 events and table partitioning. There is of course a universal SQL command for non-standard tasks.
Adminer is not just a compact version of phpMyAdmin, it tries to be a fully competitive alternative for the MySQL administration and the small footprint is only a pleasant bonus.
Jakub Vrána is one of the authors of official PHP manual, and he uses MySQL for developing web applications in PHP. He also teaches the PHP and MySQL basics at Charles University and conducts commercial trainings. He is the founder of compact MySQL management tool Adminer. Jakub lives in Prague, Czech Republic.
Adminer převádí názvy všech tabulek na malá písmena, což je občas trochu matoucí, zvlášť při skládání dotazů dochází ke zbytečným chybám.
Předpokládám, že mi odpovíte, že konvence velí používat místo velbloudí notace spíše podtržítka mezi slovy, ale přesto - mnoho aplikací používá právě velbloudí notaci.
Počítá se s tím do budoucna něco dělat, je to feature nebo bug?
Adminer s tím nemá nic společného. Ovlivňuje to nastavení MySQL lower_case_table_names.
Pri čítaní performance časti ma napadla možná optimalizácia - použitie ob_gzhandlera, resp. kompresie výstupu.
Testom na úvodnej login obrazovke Adminera som zistil úsporu 50% dát (=895B). Len či by aj reálne zrýchlila takáto optimalizácia rýchlosť aplikácie, keďže html výstup nie je dátovo veľký. Možno by čas ušetrený na prenose presiahol čas nutný na dekompresiu dát na strane prehliadača. No do takejto hĺbky testovania som už nešiel.
Také už jsem o tom přemýšlel. Ale je to věc, kterou si může každý svobodně nakonfigurovat přímo v PHP, takže to v Admineru měnit nebudu.
Když jsem ten článek četl, všiml jsem si, že na několika málo místech používáš ženská zájmena, i když mluvíš o "tom", případně o "něm". Když jsem se je teď pokusil najít znovu, našel jsem po paměti jen jedno (citace viz níže), ale vzpomínám se, že jich tam bylo víc.
"...Each MySQL user can also modify HER password and users of the demo application quickly discovered it..."
Pokud vím, tak se to takhle v angličtině používá. Když se mluví o uživateli/uživatelce, tak se v češtině používá on, ale v angličtině ona. Ale možná by nám to rodilý mluvčí vysvětlil lépe.
Current version 3.7.0 does not display a date field if referenced by foreign key. Only String fields get displayed in dropdown select boxes.
References to Views are not recognised as well.
Can you be more specific about it? Is it Adminer or Adminer Editor? What do you mean by "does not display", what's displayed instead?
Which database system are you using? MySQL doesn't support references to views.
Please describe reproducible steps, preferably with screenshots.
how can ue see the routine (store procedure) in adminer???? plz tell me where they save??
There's a list of them on the database overview page. You can create and alter them there too. They are available as of MySQL 5.0.
The file already IS in UTF-8 format. Checked and re-checked several times.
Can you share the file with me? There might be something wrong with it.
I was able to resolve the error by opening the file in Notepad and re-saving in UTF8 format. Must be a problem with something that Excel added.
Hi.nice work here.i'm using this with droidphp(lighttpd+php+mysql) on an android dev.any css for mobile?

Check out the transcript from Tuesday's Penn State women's volleyball media availability featuring head coach Russ Rose and junior libero Kendall White.
"One of the games was a deuce score game where Rutgers was playing well and had opportunities to win the game. I was happy that we were able to battle against a Big Ten opponent both home and away, with players who were playing hard and taking quality swings and doing the things that they do well.
"We've had some flashes of really solid play from most of the ones who are playing and we've also had some expected dips in performance that I think are what you would anticipate with youngsters who are entering the time of the season right now where high school seasons around the country are entering their state playoffs and championships.
"Some of them, their biological clocks are reaching the point where they're tired. Certainly we spent a lot of time at the beginning of the year on the road and I think that kind of stressed some of them out with the academic load. We've had different players play really well. We haven't had a lot of matches where everybody's played well, and certainly we haven't had any matches where all of the freshmen played well.
"I think [Bryanna Weiskircher] has been playing really well. I think Jonni [Parker] has really played well. To get recognized nationally, you have to have some numbers that are off the chart. We don't have very many people who have numbers off the chart.
"I think we can certainly assess potential and performance and I think we've had some really good matches where we competed well against some really good teams. We've had some matches where we've struggled a bit. There are only two teams nationally that are still undefeated, so those teams seem to be a little ahead of the curve.
"Certainly we saw Stanford, who I voted as the No. 1 team in the country this past week. I think Stanford is a cut above the rest. I think there are a lot of really good teams in our conference and there are some really good teams around the country. We've played some of them and we'll play more of them as the rest of the schedule goes on.
"At the end of the Big Ten season, we'll have certainly played enough good teams to know our strengths and weaknesses. I think we do some things that are a challenge for other teams and I think there are a number of things that other teams do that are a challenge for our young group.
"I think Jenna [Hampton] plays really hard and that's what I saw when I recruited her. There are some certain things that she can pick up from Kendall [White], because Kendall plays really hard. I think the two of them playing together provides us with three rotations where our defense is really strong.
"I think Kendall has been everything I thought she would be when she came in. She always plays hard. She's the person who no matter what I say, it's the perfect thing, I could be mad at the other 14 players and take it out on her and she looks me right in the eyes and takes it. That's why I'm a big fan.


This piece was a dream to create. I had painted this view before from a holiday let on the opposite bank of the lake, though in a square format. This had been done from life and a copy of this image proved invaluable in deciphering all the colours in the scene. Photos of the scene were useful, but only told half the story.
It's quite a simple composition, with a flat view providing almost strata. A few people on the bank add some interest.
Very pleased with the result as it gives a sense of the ominous weather. I hope that it also captures that unknown animal call that echoes through this sort of forest.

When I went to Taiwan last year with Brilliant Bicycle Co., I wrote a few posts that described the trip & what we saw there. But I never linked to Jacob Krupnick's videos of the trip, which do a much better job of relaying the mood & feel of the trip. So, here goes.

In that box factory in Taiwan. Photo credit: Jacob Krupnick.
The factory made a bunch of solid tires for forklifts and other equipment in the front.
In the back were two sides: One for bicycles, the other for scooters and other larger pneumatic applications.
The shop did *not* make their own nylon cord for tire casings; they purchased that from a vendor. The cord comes in a wide sheet, is cut on a bias and put together into a long strip (video below).
They also did not make their own kevlar (foldable) tire beads. Apparently all of the Taiwanese tire shops (there are a few) purchase these from one single supplier.
They do make their own steel beads. Wire is straightened, doubled up, and wrapped into a loop with a bunch of unvulcanized rubber and bound together into a single unit.
The machines they use to assemble the tires - casing, bead, and tread - are *really* cool. There's a decent video of the process here.
Tread molds seemed eminently reasonable - they only cost a few thousand dollars. The uncured and relatively shapeless tires are put into molds, where pressure and heat form the shape and cure the rubber.

Q: How do I forward all requests from local port to port on my remote Amazon EC2 instance which is using a custom ssh port I am trying to forward all requests from local port 8888 to port 8888 to my remote Amazon EC2 instance. The only difference is that my EC2 instance is running ssh on custom port 56129.
I can successfully ping my ec2 instance from the local system but when I try to forward requests from a local port to a port on ec2 instance, I am getting:

channel 2: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed

I am using the following command:
ssh -i <pem key> -NfL 8888:localhost:8888 <user>@<instance ip> -p 56129

Then it asks for a password. There are no messages when it accepts the password. But as soon as I open localhost:8888 in my browser, I get the error message:

channel 2: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed

Some observations -

*

*Running ssh -i <pem key> <user>@<instance ip> -p 56129 with a
password is successful.

*I am running Jupyter Notebook at port 8888 in EC2 instance. curl localhost:8888 returns nothing when done after ssh-ing into the instance

A: I think you need to bind the local address to achieve what you want:
ssh -i <pem key> -NfL localhost:8888:localhost:8888 <user>@<instance ip> -p 56129

or
ssh -i <pem key> -NfL localhost:8888:<instanceip>:56129 <user>@<instance ip>

As it's not 100% clear what you want to achieve.
Test with
telnet ipaddress portnumber

Which gives you a connect (or not) in advance and when running it to check.

A: The message tells the (remote) sshd server settings doesn't allow to forward TCP ports.
This option should be enabled on the remote sshd server's configuration (usually in /etc/ssh/sshd_config):

AllowTcpForwarding
Specifies whether TCP forwarding is permitted. The available options
are yes (the default) or all to allow TCP forwarding, no to prevent
all TCP forwarding, local to allow local (from the perspective of
ssh(1)) forwarding only or remote to allow remote forwarding only.
Note that disabling TCP forwarding does not improve security unless
users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their
own forwarders.

The default above is for a Debian system and might not be the default on AWS' sshd. This option has to be set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config as yes/all or at least local to enable the port forwarding:
AllowTcpForwarding yes

and the remote sshd server should be reloaded or restarted for the option to take effect on new connections. Be careful, any syntax error might prevent further access if not quickly corrected on a connection still in use.
There are many other subtleties related to enabling port forwarding. For example a dedicated entry in user's authorized_keys could restrict it to specific ports only (as long as the system-wide configuration still allows it).

Ingvar Kamprad built his IKEA empire from the ground up, starting at the tender age of five. Here's how.
Ingvar Kamprad, pictured above, can match wealth and business wisdom with Warren Buffett. Image source: IKEA.
Warren Buffett made his billions taking over textile mill Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A) (NYSE:BRK-B) and lifting it to the next level -- over and over again. But fellow billionaire Ingvar Kamprad built his IKEA empire from scratch, starting with seed money from his father -- which he earned by getting good grades in school.
The two ultra-rich businessmen may have taken different paths to the top, but they actually have a lot in common. "I am a better investor because I am a businessman, and a better businessman because I am an investor," Buffett has famously said. Both men live by their business principles and take lessons learned on the street into the boardroom.
Everybody knows the Warren Buffett story, but Kamprad's background isn't as widely covered. The slideshow below walks you through his path to a net worth $4 billion, which started more than 70 years ago with a 5-year-old selling matches from a farmhouse in Smaland, Sweden.

Conceptualized and created by the MaMaMedia Professional Services Group, JJ's Place is the flagship website for the Childhood OCD Project, a foundation based in Boulder, Colorado. Their mission is to help mitigate the impact of childhood OCD by building a community and providing information to affected children and their families, friends, teachers, and therapists.
OCD can be a terrifying disease. Happy kids can suddenly become obsessed about things that seem trivial and silly -- like washing, or going outside, or doing homework. Parents can easily misunderstand what's happening to their child. It can be hard to figure out what to do, and harder still to find the help you need to do it. The family doctor may not know how to spot OCD, or might refer you to a mental health professional who is unfamiliar with treating OCD. Meanwhile, OCD kids may struggle in school, with friends, with grandparents, and family -- all while trying to combat their private obsessions and compulsions.
This Prototype was developed in 2003, to help the foundation raise money for the full project. JJ's Place is the first website of its kind. The Childhood OCD Project has a commitment to increase the quality of information and resources for kids and decrease parents' and teachers' confusion.
JJ and her dog Molly (who knows everything about OCD) welcomes visitors and guide them into the various activities, games, and resources. JJ's story is just one among many, there are six other characters with different types of OCD, designed to help with diagnosis, communication, and treatment, making JJ's Place an important new child-centric, project-based, playful community -- all about Childhood OCD.
While JJ's Place is the Project's first attempt to improve the lives of kids with OCD; it will not be the last. The Project hopes to expand to produce books, videos, and other materials for parents and grandparents, teachers, therapists, and physicians. In addition, they hope to raise funds to translate JJ's Place and other materials into other languages for distribution to children and families around the world.

Edwin Bertolet is featured artist in March at Portola Art Gallery
by Frances Freyberg on March 2, 2021
A Sense of Place, a collection of oil paintings done both plein air and in the studio by award-winning artist Edwin Bertolet is on exhibit in March at the Portola Art Gallery. While there will be no formal reception due to COVID-19 safety precautions, Ed will be at the gallery on Wednesday, March 3 and Wednesday, March 31, as well as by appointment.
In his work, Ed tries to capture the inherent beauty and calm elegance of our local landscape in an unlabored style. Expressive brushwork, subtle color, a sense of light, and a unique sense of serenity are the elements that populate his paintings, as he feels these things best reflect the quiet beauty of the area where we live.
You may easily recognize the local places he has chosen to paint; Half Moon Bay and the coast, the Palo Alto Baylands, Crystal Springs, the Monterey Peninsula, and the mid-peninsula hills are all represented in this exhibit. The artist feels that the familiar scenes and ordinary locations of our area have a hidden beauty if one looks close enough to find it — a beauty that will reveal to them a true sense of place.
Open Monday through Saturday from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, Portola Art Gallery exhibits high quality, representational art by 17 Bay Area artists. Painting, pastel, photography and ceramics can be viewed at the gallery, located at the Historic Allied Arts Guild (75 Arbor Road) in Menlo Park.
Pacific Grove (16×20″, oil, 2019) is one of the featured artworks in Edwin Bertolet's March exhibit.


Oh, my! Look at that eye! If you have a pet bird, or are interested in adopting a pet bird, you should know about these common bird eye diseases.
While the eyes may not seem like an area of concern for a bird, they can be. Various factors cause eye infections, some of which are very serious and could result in blindness in the animal. But pet owners can prevent many of these infections and the problems they bring.
The most common eye infections are caused by bacteria, namely Salmonella. Salmonella is contagious and can be passed from bird to bird, or from bird-parent to baby bird if the pet lays eggs. This bacteria causes two eye infections: conjunctivitis and ophthalmitis. Conjunctivitis is characterized by red, swollen eyes which are crusty. Ophthalmitis is when the eye is inflamed and has pus.
Another common way that birds can pick up eye infections are through moldy feed. The moldy feed is "good" breeding ground for fungi which can cause infections in your feathery pet. A common fungi is Aspergillus, which affects the animal's respiratory system and brain, along with the eyes. The symptom of this infection is yellow plaques under the bird's eyelids.
Avian Pox: this is a viral infection that causes the eyes to swell and have blister-like sores.
Marek's Disease: this is another viral infection. This disease is characterized by irregularly shaped pupils, iris problems and blindness. This infection cannot be cured, and has the ability to progress into cancer. Your pet can be vaccinated against this infection, so you may want to consult with your veterinarian.
Cataracts: cataracts usually develop when a bird is deficient in vitamin E. However, cataracts can also be caused by overexposure to artificial lights.
If you are already the owner of a pet bird, or would like to be, you may want to consult with your veterinarian on the different eye diseases and how to prevent them.
Do you have a pet bird? Did you ever have an experience with any of these eye diseases? Tell us about it in the comments!

The disappearance of 3-year-old Madeleine McCann has left her parents, police and the public desperate for answers for more than ten years.
Madeline vanished from a holiday apartment in Portugal's Praia da Luz while her parents were having dinner at a nearby restaurant on May 3, 2007.
Now, Netflix is set to reexamine the toddler's tragic disappearance in a new true crime documentary, The Mirror reports.
Netflix will reportedly release an eight-part series that will feature interviews with key investigators from Madeleine's missing person case.
But according to the Mail Online, Madeleine's parent's, Kate and Gerry McCann, have declined to take part in the new show. The publication cites the fact that the Metropolitan Police's Operation Grange is still underway as a likely reason why.
The documentary comes off the back of Netflix's success with other hit true crime documentaries such as and Making A Murderer and Amanda Knox.

Happy spring! Here in Oakland, the weather is beautiful – averaging around 70 degrees every day. This time of year always makes me happy. The days are starting to get longer and there's a feeling of renewal and success in the air. It's the perfect time to have a bit of break from the hustle and grind of birth work.
I did my last birth of March on the 16th and I don't have another client's due date until early May. So I've had a few weeks of rest and relaxation and it's been WONDERFUL. I haven't had this long of a break…ever. To make the most of my off time, I've put together a plan to ensure a healthy balance between rest and productivity.
I'm all about self care. As a birth worker, you have to be diligent about scheduling "me time," otherwise you'll burn out. After every birth, I give myself a solid three days to get back on track (unless there's another birth I get called to, of course). I actually did four births in four days in February and then, the following week, I moved apartments. Let me tell you, that was not fun. But I survived and got to have a bit of a break until my March births. Anyway, back to self care. I make sure that after every birth I sleep, eat good food, and take a hot epsom salt bath to rejuvenate. It's safe to say I've scheduled lots of self-care time into my time off, but I also have some big goals to accomplish this month too.
So here's my plan to make sure that once my rest period is done, I can look back and feel proud for all that I have (and haven't!) done.
3. Visit family! Before I need to stay close to town in mid-April (for the early May due dates) I want to head up to Redding to see my family – I haven't seen them since January!
That's it! I find that when I put my goals down they hold me more accountable. So, here's to a restful yet productive month "off" full of work, fun, and self care.
