Guys, we are inundated with fall vegetables from our CSA right now. So, when we got this recipe as part of the email blast telling us what was in our farm share last week, we were psyched with how many veggies would be used! This soup is really a curry chowder – which might sound weird, but trust me! This chowder is light, flavorful, and so healthy with all the veg. It's a must try this fall!
Saute leeks in butter. About halfway through stir the curry powder into the leeks.When the leeks are cooked and softened add the chicken stock, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Add more stock until the veggies are just covered. Simmer until veggies are just tender. Add chicken.
Add the kale and milk. Cook until kale wilts, a few minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. This makes a thick chowder.
Two years ago, I was awoken in the middle of the night with contractions. By 9am we were at the hospital. By 12n things were really happening. And by just after 4pm our Z was here! She came out loud and full of life – exactly how she is today.
We love you more than words can say sweet Z – Happy 2nd Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps. taken in our French-inspired bathroom. She loves the Eiffel Tower.
It has gotten colllllld around here! It's officially fall with bone-chilling winter right around the corner. So how do you stay cute and fashionable? Well here is literally what I am wearing right now to do just that.
1. I love sweaters like this Pleated Jacquard Jacket from Zara that you can layer under and wrap yourself in to feel extra cozy. 2. A cozy waffle knit to layer under your sweater is a must. I like this Waffle Knit Henley T from the GAP. 3. J. Crew Pixie Pant these are the comfiest pants and look great with boots, honestly they're basically like fancy leggings. 4. You need a scarf in this weather, right? I love this Washed Wool Scarf from Madewell – plus I needed a pop of color in this outfit! 5. This Cut Out Handle Duffel from kate spade Saturday is a great fall bag – you can wear it on your arm or as a cross-body! and 6. While there's still no snow on the ground (and boots are a must) I like to wear more delicate shoes. These Jeffrey Campbell D'Orsay flats from Urban Outfitters have such a great shape, I love them in this metallic silver.
We had a date night with some friends at the new Beat Hotel in Harvard Sq. Have you been? The food is fantastic!
Someone has a new chore and LOVES it – she gets to feed ki-tee dinner every night at 5pm.
Fresh rosemary from our CSA this week, I love the smell!
I had a huge event for my day job this week…naturally it required buying a bouquet of balloons! Aren't all events better with balloons?
Z likes to organize our shoes like this every time we walk in the house and take our shoes off.
After a very long and busy week in our house I am ready for the weekend – have a good one!
First, saute your onions and garlic in butter. Once cooked down add your fresh spinach that's been chopped. We also added ham.
While that's cooking, whisk your eggs and milk and season with salt & pepper.
Spoon your veggie mixture into your crust (I used store bought). Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Pour the egg mixture on top letting it mix into the veggies.
Cook for about 15 minutes, then sprinkle the top with more cheese. Cook for additional 35 to 40 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy! Also good as leftovers.

George Michaels (1912-1992)
George Michaels (1912-1992) is almost forgotten now, but he was the person who tipped the balance in the voting for liberalization of New York State's abortion law in 1970. His courage opened the breakthrough for new abortion laws, but at the price of his own political career.
The bill for legal on-demand abortions during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy had already been passed by the state Senate but seemed to be defeated at the Assembly: 74 Yes votes versus 74 No votes. As a 59 year old provincial lawyer and assemblyman for a catholic-conservative constituency, George Michaels personally favored a woman's right to choose but had voted against the proposed law at the behest of his Democratic Committee. There is a historic recording in which one can watch and listen to the dramatic moment when he grabbed the mike, his hands and voice trembling. "I ask that my vote be changed from 'no' to 'yes'," he says. "I realise that I am terminating my political career, but I cannot in good conscience allow my vote to be the one that defeats this bill."
The State Senate quickly added its approval and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller signed the bill into law. Other states followed. George Michaels was outlawed, his law firm disintegrated and he was unable to achieve re-election after having been a valued assemblyman for five successive terms.
You may drop by and watch the touching scene showing George Michaels' courage in the video "From Danger to Dignity: The Fight for Safe Abortion" at our museum.

Shares in Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) traded down approximately 5 percent as noon Eastern time approached Monday after President-elect Donald Trump criticized the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program on Twitter in the early morning hours.
"The F-35 program and cost is out of control. Billions of dollars can and will be saved on military (and other) purchases after January 20th, " Trump tweeted at 8:26 a.m.
Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed saw an estimated $4 billion hit to its market capitalization after the tweet.
Losses among several other large defense primes followed to drag Executive Mosaic's GovCon Index nearly 2 percent lower halfway through the trading session to halt a sharp post-election rally on investor optimism that military spending will increase under Trump administration.
Lockheed was also the largest drag on the Index in terms of net movement and was followed by other primes Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC), Raytheon (NYSE: RTN), Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII) and General Dynamics (NYSE: GD).
Boeing's (NYSE: BA) stock held flat as of midday Monday and the airplane maker felt a similar hit to its shares in early trade on Dec. 6 after Trump called for the cancellation of the company's contract to build the next Air Force One from his Twitter feed.
Shares in Boeing have risen 2.67 percent since.
The F-35 program's costs have totaled nearly $400 billion since its 2001 inception and have almost doubled over that time.


Vladimir Putin is considered to be the most important geopolitical player in the last 40 years - under his administration, Russia's profile has risen to a level not seen since the days of the Soviet Union. While many have analyzed Putin's background from historical sources, I am always interested in the esoteric view and thought it would be informative to see what I could find in Mr. Putin's numbers.
I work with Numerology professionally and have found it to be 100% percent accurate. Given only two pieces of information, the Birth Name and Date of Birth, a clear personality profile can be calculated, giving insight into one's motivations, character and innate qualities. More simply put, we can consider numerology to be an archetypal 'personality test' that indicates the inner motivations of a person that may not be apparent from publicly available sources.
Born Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on October 7, 1952 - I found THREE SEVENS in Putin's numerology chart. A triple aspect in numerology is highly unusual and a triple seven indicates that Vladimir Putin is one of the sharpest intellectual minds on the planet.
In one word, SEVEN is the THINKER. The power of the SEVEN is the ability to break any subject down to its finest atoms, understand its fundamental principles and recombine them into a new configuration. Sevens can draw connections from widely disparate fields to provide new solutions foreign to the status quo. Interestingly, the SEVEN was loved by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras not just for its mastery of logic, but also for its metaphysical prowess, the realm of philosophy. Many ground breaking inventors, scientists, and philosophers have a Seven aspect in their chart, and Putin has this aspect in triplicate.
The Life Path Number is the single most important number in numerology as it represents the core of one's personality. A Life Path 7 indicates that Putin was born as a Thinker / Philosopher type, far from what most would expect in his role as a politician and statesman.
The Destiny or Expression number represents the direction of one's life, in simple terms 'where things are going'. The Seven is typically seen as a thinker, academic archetype, which would seem at odds with his long career in intelligence and politics. However the Seven can also assume a metaphysical role more closely associated with philosophers, sages and seers.
Given his TRIPLE Seven, which is highly unusual, I feel it is not out of bounds to consider Putin as a Philosopher King archetype, one who informs his political decisions with a deep philosophical understanding rather than a simple materialist mindset typically associated with politics.
Putin's Numerology becomes more intriguing the further we look into his chart.
The Heart's Desire number represents the inner self - one's inner motivations behind their actions. Putin having a number 11 in this position is intriguing. The Eleven is highly intuitive and is comparable to a human lightning rod, a person that gets flashes of ideas and concepts of higher ideals in a manner more closely associated with sages and mystics than a politician or statesman.
The Eleven is the most psychic of ALL numbers as it is said to metaphorically connect Heaven and Earth. It is likely that Putin has been receiving flashes of intuition and spiritual information from an early age. Eleven is the number of psychics, clairvoyants and spiritual leaders. Quite interesting.
It is no secret that Putin has many interests including Martial Arts, and has continuously executed masterful geopolitical moves that confound all attempts by his adversaries to pin him down. Interestingly enough, this is directly reflected in his Numerology.
Putin's Personality Number is FIVE. The Personality Number represents the outer self, an image that is projected to the world. It also indicates one's approach to situations.
In one word, the FIVE is the CHAMELEON, as it is the most adaptable, transmutable number in Numerology. Five type personalities can easily juggle 10 things in one day with no problem and are quick on their feet. They naturally lack form and structure as they are ever changing and constantly in movement.
This aspect directly mirror's Putin's geopolitical moves, almost as if he approaches the world as his judo mat, and is nearly impossible to pin down. Combined with the intelligence of his triple seven, Putin is easily 10 steps ahead of his opponents.
A person's life cycle can be analyzed with numerology, as the years fall into discrete patterns similar to the changing of the seasons or the waxing and waning of the Moon. This number is calculated from the Date of Birth, and cycles from 1-9.
2015 was quite a high profile period for Russia from the Crisis in Ukraine to the Civil War in Syria. In every case Putin maintained a superior geopolitical and diplomatic position rocketing Russia to a political level not seen since the days of the Soviet Union. Most impressive is the fact that 2015 was a 7 year for Putin - which is considered to be a passive or inactive year. The power year for Putin is actually next year, 2016.
Loved by the Chinese for representing power and material wealth, the 8 year is typically the most powerful year in the entire 9 year cycle of numerology. Thus, 2016 being an 8 Year for Putin indicates to me that Russia's victories against ISIS and the Islamic rebels in Syria in 2015 are only a taste of a more explosive period coming next year in 2016.
A numerological analysis of Vladimir Putin reveals many aspects that are not typically found in the resumé of a politician. Moreover, as a professional numerologist, his chart says to me 'Philosopher King'.
A triple 7 is very rare to encounter and combined with his intuitive number 11, he is by default connected to ideas of a spiritual nature. In fact, as we find the number eleven in his Heart's Desire, it is his main motivation, a need from deep within, to birth these higher ideals into the world.
I enjoyed going over this chart and I find it especially appropriate viewing Vladimir Putin though an esoteric lens, as the Russian cultural sphere has never completely rejected the realm of spirituality, mysticism and religion. Vladimir Putin seems to embody and crystallize this esoteric stream that runs thoughout Russian history.
I hope that you enjoyed this numerological study of Mr. Putin and the unique aspects that are indicated therein. For more on my numerology service check my website. Thanks to Lada Ray & the Team at Syncretic Studies for their fine work which inspired me to publish this article.

Rodrigo Martinez-Duarte honored for contributions to Latinx community
Rodrigo Martinez-Duarte, an associate professor of mechanical engineering, is being recognized for his continuous contributions to the Latinx community at Clemson University.
Martinez-Duarte recently won the Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month Impact Award in the faculty/staff category.
The award comes from a committee that organizes a month-long celebration of Hispanic and Latinx heritage at Clemson and "recognizes the contributions of individuals who have positively enhanced the campus climate for the Hispanic and Latinx community in Clemson and beyond."
Martinez-Duarte serves as chair of Clemson's Day of the Dead celebration, the University's Commission on Latino Affairs and the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Committee on Global Engagement. He is also advisor to the Clemson chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers.
Martinez-Duarte was among four winners honored in an Oct. 16 ceremony that coincided with the end of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs Sept. 15-Oct. 15 each year.
Vicente Sanchez won in the undergraduate category, Amanda Arroyo Santamaria won in the graduate student category and Maria Torres-Green, chair of the Anderson County Latinx Advisory Council, received the Community Award.
The committee that grants the awards works through Clemson's Gantt Multicultural Center and the Division of Inclusion and Equity.
"I congratulate all of this year's winners and thank them for their service to the community," said Julio Hernandez, Clemson's assistant vice president for inclusive excellence and executive director for Hispanic outreach.
"Their leadership is providing new opportunities for Hispanic and Latinx faculty, students and staff to reach their full potential while providing new opportunities to share in our rich heritage. Each award is well deserved."
Oliver Myers, the associate dean of inclusion and equity in the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences, said Martinez-Duarte's award is well deserved.
"His leadership is playing a crucial role in promoting Hispanic and Latinx heritage at Clemson University and beyond," Myers said.

What is PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)?
PTSD is an anxiety disorder which a person may develop, after having experienced one or more traumatic events. It's a widely known fact that many military veterans are diagnosed with PTSD, because of the traumatic experiences they went through during combat situations. What is perhaps less known, is that many non-military individuals are being diagnosed with PTSD as well.
For many people with PTSD, building relationships with other people can be difficult. Not so much because they don't want to, but because a person without PTSD doesn't understand what's going on in the mind of the person with PTSD. And a person with PTSD might prefer to keep some distance, because of their anxiety and the traumatic experiences they had.
Despite of the above, most people with PTSD have the same desires as any other person; they want to love, be loved, have friendships and so on. And with mutual understanding, effort and patience, all of these desires can be fulfilled for both the PTSD and non-PTSD person(s).
PTSD Dating helps singles diagnosed with PTSD, to find a romantic partner (with or without PTSD) who accepts them the way they are and is willing to go the extra mile!


IFA Animal Health Chairman Bert Stewart again raised the difficulties farmers are experiencing with the current Fallen Animal Collection System in a meeting with senior Department of Agriculture officials, specifically on the issue of fallen animal disposal.
IFA Animal Health Chairman Bert Stewart said IFA has written to the Department of Agriculture this week in relation to new cattle tag supplier arrangements, outlining that the Department must be able to guarantee farmers that the new system will deliver a tagging and identification system that meets all the requirements of farmers.
IFA National Animal Health Chairman Bert Stewart has said the change in policy by the Department of Agriculture in their proposal to move from a tag tender to a tag licensing arrangement raises a number of significant new issues and concerns for farmers.

Weather and fishing continues to cooperate for us here fishing Langara Island. Our third trip has just finished off and everyone seems pleased with the experience here at the Clubhouse.
I had a long-time patron Tim Sorensen out yesterday and we teamed up for a great fish on the west side. Tim has fishing here a number of years but never had the luck to personally reel in a tyee, so this was his day finally, Winning! Tim has the casual approach, head out at the crack of 8:30 am, come in for a nice lunch and head out at 2pm. we set up at 2:30, lines in, not much happening. Back and fourth, soon the music was on and a cool beverage was in order. Next was story time, and right in the middle of telling a classic screamer story, Tim's mooching rod off the stern thumped and buckled, a heavy fish of some sort. Acting strange, not sure if this is a shark or a lion. The fish moved right into the island before heading straight to the bottom, then slowly swimming out. Good news, not surfacing for air so not a mammal. Soon we had a glance, not bad, rolling and twisting a few feet under the surface.
Tim was on this fish for a half hour, slightly lost interest and began telling his own classic stories. I was a tad nervous, but hey, Tim can fish so relax a bit Screamer. Finally a weight shows and hmm, that looks like a good one. First pass by the net a 41 lber, nice first tyee. We gently placed her in a release tote filled with water and worked her back into good health. She was tired but swam off happily towards deep water, what a sight, way to go Tim!
Although slow, we soon had a 29 to the boat for Tim's partner, a fish that wiped out George Gaffne's lines fishing in a Langara boat…what a mess but thanks to them cutting lines we had the fish, not a huge fight as three weights were tangled on the fish. We soon grabbed a trolled up halibut of 45 lbs, so a fun afternoon for sure.
The boys on the grounds, all had nice hali, Bud released a 200 plus after photos, and lived to tell about it. Leave the hook in Bud, we need you to guide tomorrow. Tough trying to save your hook worth a buck when it is in the lip of a monster.
We have some drizzle this pm but the seas are calm. Looks like a great trip coming up. Chinook have slowed a bit but with the size we are all anticipating a great afternoon. Look out for the next report, hope to have a story about another great release.
Great story about the 41# fish. It could have been mine or Heine's!
Really bummed we could not make this year!

Even with Recent Problems, College Rankings Likely to Remain

Students and college advisors agree that there are problems with a popular college ranking system in the United States. The magazine U.S. News and World Report produces the rankings.
At the same time, the critics do not believe the rankings will end anytime soon.
The list of recent problems related to college rankings is a long one.
At the start of 2022, Moshe Porat, former leader of the business school at Temple University in Philadelphia, was sentenced to 14 months in prison. A court had found him guilty of giving false information to U.S. News and World Report that raised his school's ranking. He was also ordered to pay a large financial penalty.
Over the summer, Columbia University professor Michael Thaddeus said he believed some of the data the university sent to the magazine were incorrect. As a result, the university held back its numbers and was not included in U.S. News and World Report's 2023 rankings. The publication also removed Columbia from past lists.

Law schools back out
And finally, in autumn, a number of top law schools protested the rankings. They restricted some information they sent to the magazine. The protesting schools included Yale, Stanford, Harvard and the University of California – Berkeley.
In all, nine of the top 14 law schools ranked by U.S. News and World Report joined the protest.
The leaders of the law schools said the magazine does not consider some important information. For example, they said the magazine does not show how the schools prepare students for work in public service.
Heather Gerken is the head of Yale's law school. She called the magazine's product -- ranking schools -- "nearly impossible." She noted that all law schools are different and a "one-size-fits-all" system "cannot provide an accurate picture."
In early 2023, U.S. News and World Report answered the criticism. The magazine said it would change its system. The rankings would not penalize schools whose graduates moved on to advanced degree programs or important, but low-paying, jobs in public service. In addition, the magazine said it would no longer center so much of its final number on the opinions of law professors, lawyers and judges.
The law schools, however, continued to say they would not cooperate.
Heading into 2023, some schools, such as Columbia, will be unranked. Other schools are reconsidering their involvement with rankings. One expert, however, said rankings are still an important way for students to get extra information about colleges.
Allen Koh is the chief executive at Cardinal Education, a company in Northern California that helps students think about colleges and prepare their applications.

He said he does not think the protest will affect the reputations of law schools at Yale or Harvard. In addition, he said it is unlikely universities will stop their participation in the rankings.
"For any university that is considered hyper-elite now, it will be considered hyper-elite later. And we don't think that'll change."
In fact, Koh said he thinks universities will continue to try to get good rankings even though "everybody understands rankings are imperfect." He noted that rankings are especially important for international students who cannot visit colleges before deciding to attend.
"Your ranking – A – helps attract talent. B – instills pride for people who have already graduated. The better ranking you have, everyone who's already gone there, their degrees are getting more valuable."
Koh pointed out that a school's ability to raise money improves as its ranking improves, which permits it to open new buildings and create more programs. He called it a "virtuous cycle."
Sarju Poudel of Nepal recently finished his mechanical engineering degree from the University of Texas-Tyler. Tyler is a city in the eastern part of the state, not far from Louisiana.
Poudel said the process of choosing a college in the U.S. was "overwhelming." But, he said he never considered just a college's rankings. He wanted to make sure he received full financial aid at a school that supported computer science, physics and engineering.
"As long as the programs and university was regionally accredited, it passed my criteria for consideration," he said.
Now that he has graduated from college in the U.S., Poudel said he thinks higher-ranked schools can sometimes provide better possibilities for their students. For example, "high-ranking colleges may indicate availability of more funds, and (therefore) more research and project opportunities."
Still, when he gives advice to students from Nepal, he said he tells them to ignore rankings. He pushes them to explore "their programs, professors' backgrounds, projects and events related to their program and availability of internships."
Kartik Sundaram of India is finishing an advanced degree at the University of Michigan. The first thing he did when thinking about colleges was look up rankings, "just like I would if I was looking to buy a laptop."
"Did I think they were important? Yes. Do I think they are important now? No."
The rankings, he said, were good because they gave him a starting point for his research. From there, he could look for more details, such as how often students graduate in four years. "Because I did not want to pay for a fifth year," he said.
His advice for international students considering universities to attend?
"Don't sweat [the rankings] too much," he said, adding, "No matter how much research you do, it's unlikely you'll even get close to half of the whole picture."

Madonna's Fury After Nile Rodgers Turned Her Down
Funk legend Nile Rodgers recalls the time Madonnna angrily confronted him for NOT trying to sleep with her.
FUNK legend Nile Rodgers has revealed he sent Madonna into a fury — by NOT trying to bed her.
Nile, 60, told how Madge, 54, was upset that he never made a pass at her when producing her 20 million-selling Like A Virgin album in the 1980s.
The legendary guitarist — who features on Daft Punk's No 1 hit Get Lucky — revealed: "I was standing at an elevator when she goes, 'Why don't you want to f*** me?'
"I was like, 'What did you just say to me?' She was wondering why I had not propositioned her. She couldn't understand that. It was like, 'Everybody wants me'."
Explaining his position, he added: "One time I slept with a really beautiful artist I was working with and it was a really wrong thing to do. So, I didn't work like that."
But he said Madonna was always one of his best pals, adding: "I grew as close to Madonna as I've ever been to a woman without being romantically involved
"She was the most driven person. The day I met her she said, 'I'm going to be a really big superstar'."
The US musician also revealed that Madge inspired him to quit booze and drugs — after he passed out at her 38th birthday party.
He said: "I don't remember any of this. But I was told I was carried out of Madonna's house.
"It was the most embarrassing night of my life. I have never had a drink or taken drugs since."
Jacked from The Sun
Wow first I heard it was D'Angelo and now Nile Rogers. I guess that's one white pussy black men won't touch.
Go figure.
Black men had her - Big Daddy Kane, DeVante Swing, just to name a few.
Who hasn't had madonna. This ho has been around.
I'm sure she's happy Li'l Wayne in 60years turned her down, judging by this pic. The visual is enough to make any woman celebate. He might roll up on a prostitute on the Blvd, and she'd be like, 'it's my day off'
Nile Rogers is talented as fuck.
Madonna wanted to colonize black men with her pussy. Fuck that old ugly ho.
She really did fuck everybody, and I mean everybody.


If you are looking to step up your effort in looking after your heart health, today's technology can offer new ways to do so effortlessly. With most of us using smartphones and tablets in our daily lives, smart devices have become a great health accessory to give us insights into our bodies and can serve as a new way to screen for potential heart problems. And with one in three adults living with a heart condition, many of these unaware or undiagnosed, it's time to learn how to use technologies such as Apple Watch and iPhone to keep your heart health in check, including how to measure ECG on Apple Watch.
Can Apple Watch measure ECG?
Apple's newly launched Apple Watch 4 promises ECG capabilities allowing users to obtain a 30 second ECG reading to gain more insight into user's heart health. Older models of Apple Watch can measure heart rate and announcements were made about using Apple Watch in studies detecting atrial fibrillation, a common heart arrhythmia. Apple Watch is equipped with a sensor called a photoplethysmogram (PPG) on the underside, where the device makes contact with the skin. The PPG uses light-based technology to detect information about heart rate and blood flow. By shining green and infrared LEDs onto your skin and detecting the changes in reflection as your arteries expand and relax with each heartbeat. This is how the Apple Watch is able to tell you how quickly your heart is beating and detect changes in your heart rate over time.
Your heart rate is certainly one of the most important vitals when it comes to tracking cardiovascular health, but your heart rate does not tell you everything that you need to know about your heart. The Apple Watch PPG sensor is limited in that it can only detect what happens after each heartbeat. It doesn't provide any information about what might be impacting your heart rate or rhythm, or what is actually happening inside your heart as it beats. An ECG is different because it tells you a lot more by recording the heart's rhythm and electrical activity. Learn all about ECGs here.
While Apple Watch 4 can record a 30 second ECG, which can be an important initial step for clinical screening, there are some important limitations set by the FDA that are vital for users to understand. The Apple Watch is not intended for people previously diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) or other known arrhythmias and is not intended for informational use. This is related to the fact that Apple Watch cannot take a continuous ECG reading which is what Holter monitors and QardioCore do.
Qardio addresses the limitations of the Apple Watch with QardioCore, our medical-grade continuous ECG monitor designed to replace holter monitors which are currently used to monitor the heart performance continuously over longer periods of time, usually for several days. QardioCore eliminates many of the issues holter monitors present such as discomfort, low quality of trace or the lack of real time data access. Unlike these traditional holter monitors QardioCore records over 20 million data points a day, doesn't use wires or patches, streams data for immediate data analysis and provides additional metrics for a more efficient heart health diagnosis. Unlike Apple Watch, QardioCore can be used by people previously diagnosed with heart issues such as AFib. When a user wants a more in-depth look into their heart health and further investigate their Apple Watch readings, QardioCore is the device to do that. It can be worn for as long (or as little) as needed to catch many common heart issues – and this is possible when the user is active as well. The data can also be seamlessly shared with a healthcare provider in real-time via our doctor-patient platform, QardioMD. Users can send a sample 30 second ECG strip to their doctors for review just as Apple Watch 4 can do. Doctors may also access user's entire ECG recording via QardioMD dashboard for an in depth beat-by-beat analysis for diagnosing arrhythmias.
Continuous ECG monitoring means that your ECG is always being recorded, which can translate to a better chance to catch asymptomatic arrhythmias. Taking a 30 second measurement periodically means that it can only catch arrhythmias if you are experiencing abnormal rhythm at the exact time that you are taking the 30 second ECG. Both Apple Watch and QardioCore offer a better, more powerful tool for heart health screening and monitoring and can save time and money for both doctors and patients.
Why should I track irregular heartbeat?
Irregular heartbeat can be a sign of a heart condition such as atrial fibrillation or tachycardia, both conditions related to abnormal heart rhythm. As screening for such common but serious conditions is not part of routine health checks, they may go unnoticed for years. This includes conditions such as atrial fibrillation (AFib or AF), one of the most common types of heart arrhythmia. During atrial fibrillation the upper chamber of the heart (the atria) beats quickly and irregularly. While AFib can can be asymptomatic, it has the potential to grow into a very serious condition resulting in pain, dizziness as well as heart failure and other heart-related complications. Becoming aware of abnormal heart events can prove to be a life-saving exercise.
How do I know if my Apple Watch detected a heart problem?
If you are using Apple Watch or an Apple Watch accessory to track abnormal heart rhythm and such cardiac events are spotted frequently, you might want to discuss with your doctor the need for further investigation. To confirm a heart arrhythmia, your doctor is likely to suggest an FDA approved method that usually involves a longer period of continuous heart monitoring with a medical grade device such as a Holter monitor. QardioCore can perform such monitoring without the need for wires and patches that Holter monitors require.
How can I measure ECG with Apple Watch myself?
QardioCore is a medical grade ECG monitor that continuously records an ECG signal on your chest, which is the way a traditional Holter monitor and other FDA approved and medically accurate heart monitors record the heart's electrical signals. It works with an iPhone and Apple Watch so you can track your heart health easily and share the data with your doctor automatically.
QardioCore and Apple Watch work together to provide you the most in-depth heart health analysis in real time. With a simple glance at the wrist, you can see in the Qardio App for Apple Watch your vital QardioCore data, including heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), respiratory rate and current activity levels.
What's the best way to rule out a heart condition?
Only a trained professional such as a cardiologist can confirm or rule out a heart problem. They will do so by monitoring your heart for several days or even a few weeks continuously, making sure that also asymptomatic events are captured. They will use devices that are designed and approved for such continuous, long term test such as Holters, patches or QardioCore. They will review the ECG trace and look for potential heart problems such as arrhythmias. So although Apple Watch and blood pressure monitors offer an easy and convenient way to start screening for heart problems, they are not designed to actually diagnose the presence of a such condition.
If you believe you might be at risk for a heart condition or have a family history of heart disease talk to a doctor right away. It is never too early or too late to start monitoring and screening for signs of heart problems. QardioArm is the smart blood pressure monitor that connects with your smartphone, tablet, and Apple Watch. With QardioArm monitoring blood pressure and heart rate, recording instances of irregular heartbeat, it has never been easier to take care of your heart health. QardioCore is the continuous ECG monitor that works with your iPhone and Apple Watch and measures heart rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature, respiratory rate, physical activity and more.
QardioCore wireless ECG monitor is particularly suited for people with an increased health risk caused by a family predisposition or history of heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or excess weight.
Track your health the smart way.

"Smoke & Mirrors" - A Comedy Murder Mystery - Review by Carol Moore
Sat, 06/15/2019 - 12:25am by laughingcat
Kudos to Jeffrey Baumgartner who directed the play and stepped into the part of Hollywood Producer/Director Hamilton Orr at the last minute.
Hamilton Orr is working on a murder scenario for his next film. Since his last film was a huge flop, he's determined that his new project will be a success – and will stop at nothing to get what he wants! The governor of a southern state has loaned him a house on an isolated island off the Mississippi gulf coast for the shoot.
As he's blocking his scene, his wife, Barbara Orr (Eileen Long) and Screenwriter Clark Robinson (David Cowan) arrive on the island. When Clark learns that a certain actor will star in his film, he throws a major hissy fit.
After sending Barbara to the beach, Hamilton suggests a plan to kill off the egomaniacal star. When Clark reluctantly agrees they begin rehearsing the scene. When Derek Coburn (RJ Cecott) arrives, his behavior demonstrates just why he is so disliked.
Hamilton explains the new scene to Derek, they begin to rehearse but something goes terribly wrong and someone is shot by someone. Although the others try to cooperate with Sheriff LeRoy Lumpkin (Colin Bowles), Hamilton treats him like a bumpkin.
"Smoke & Mirrors" runs through June 16th at Dunes Summer Theatre, 288 Shady Oaks Drive (off Old Grand Beach Rd & Hwy 12), Michiana Shores. Parking is free. Running time is just about 2 hours with an intermission. Remaining performances are Friday, June 14th, Saturday, June 15th at 7:00 pm, Sunday, June 16th at 2:00 pm CST. Tickets range from $18-$20 ($1.69 service charge if you buy online at www.dunesdark.brownpapertickets.com). FYI (219) 879-7509 or www.dunesartsfoundation.org.

Two figure set from Max Factory contains gorgeously-molded and extremely well-painted PVC figures from the "Guyver" universe: Elegen and Zankurs. These are intended as static display pieces and are not action figures; and they'll look stunning no matter where you do decide to show them off! Both figures stand about 15 cm tall.


Q. My client has a debt on the ledger, which is overdue by more than six months. After much chasing over a long period, the debtor has now agreed to pay the debt. However, he is saying that he should only pay the net amount as the debt is more than six months overdue and that my client can, therefore, recover all the VAT under the bad debt relief rules. Is the debtor correct?
A. No. This point was tested up to the Court of Session in the case of Revenue & Customs Commissioners v Simpson & Marwick.
more than six months must have elapsed after the due date for payment or the date of supply, whichever is the later.
However, BDR is calculated on the amount outstanding, so when a debtor makes a part payment of a debt, the payment is treated as being inclusive of VAT. For example, if the debt is £120 including £20 VAT and the debtor pays just £100, leaving £20 outstanding, then the VAT fraction of 1/6 is applied. The debtor is deemed to have paid £83.33 + £16.67 VAT. The VAT element of the outstanding part will be £3.33 and only this sum will be claimable as BDR. The claim is entered in Box 4 of his return.
There is a corresponding rule that applies to the debtor. This means that where he has not paid a creditor and there is an amount outstanding more than six months after the due date for payment, then any input tax claimed on this unpaid element must be repaid to HMRC.
The debtor, in this case, should have repaid the input tax in full to HMRC in the period when the debt went over six months old. Assuming he has done this correctly, if he now pays the net amount only, he will need to treat the amount he pays as VAT inclusive and apply the VAT fraction to see how much of the input tax he can recover, and would put that figure into Box 4 of his return in the period when he makes the payment.

What I bring today is the Lastest kind of heatsink in led headlights
The last type of heatsink that we're seeing in modern LED front lights light bulbs is a fanless multi-surface area dissipation heatsink.
They can loosen as well as you can turn them around and afterwards screw it back on. So you get various forms to fit various front lights housings. I really such as this since it doesn't have to be totally substantial, it's one less relocating part, it's simple.
Therefore much of all the light bulbs that we're evaluating, the brightest light bulbs every one of them are coming with this kind of heatsink, which tells you something. This is a brand-new style that you're not seeing on numerous light bulbs.
Generally, they have a fan or the knotted heatsink style, but this nonfan strong heatsink style is really pretty impressive. You have two various styles, you have the style which has plenty of grooves and it's circular, and also the concept is massive amounts of area. After that you have the style that's in fact shaped in a kind of air chamber as well as the idea is that heat will pass through the vents, and also ultimately create a convection style cooling effect where a low-pressure location will draw the air via and cool of the front lights. Now that works in concept, however what if this is inside your headlight housing?
The Atom E h4 led headlight bulbs such as this one that utilizes this sort of fanless convection based heat dissipation technique are an excellent idea, and we're seeing that they are the brightest that we're checking up until now. But keep in mind that if it's within your headlight housing with a dirt cover over it, it'll cool down less just like any of them whether it's this style or the kind with the braided heat sinks, or something with a fan.
Anytime you put an LED light bulb inside a housing that hides with a dirt cap, you remain in trapping the heat and also you're assured to have greater operating temperatures and also higher failure rate. If it was like this bulb that would certainly sit outside the headlight housing, wonderful style however we're still dealing with the best method to cool a light bulb inside a housing with a dust cover.
What Should Our team Concern on When Deciding On Fanless...


Waking up to simulated daylight can help your body clock cope with the disruption of night shift working. And we're offering you the chance to feel the benefits by winning a Lumie Bodyclock.
Shift working is part of the job for many working in offender healthcare and criminal justice. But it can be a nightmare for your body clock. And however long you've been doing it, dealing with changes in shift patterns can continue to be a challenge for many people. Whether you're getting up to go to work in darkness or trying to adjust to daytime working after a round of nights, being shocked out of your slumber by an alarm or radio is hardly the ideal way to feel refreshed and ready to go.
Luckily, help is at hand. Using advanced technology, wake-up lights simulate the natural breaking of dawn by automatically turning on a low intensity light, which gradually becomes brighter during your final 30 minutes of sleep. This stimulates your 'get up and go' hormones while suppressing your urge to hit the snooze button.
The technology may be relatively new. However, the idea isn't. A 'mechanical sunrise' device was patented in 1890 and modern electronic units were developed in the early 1970s. Following encouraging research at Columbia University in the 1980s, wake-up lights have been gradually developed and refined over the last 20 years or so and are now used by everybody from health professionals to athletes.
Several recent studies have confirmed the beneficial effects, which include improved mental agility, better concentration and faster reaction times. Conversely, being rudely awakened increases the level of cortisol in your body. That's the hormone that deals with stress and having too much of it can make you feel depressed and lethargic. The experience of waking up suddenly can be so negative that our bodies often train themselves to be one step ahead of the alarm.
So what happens if the wake-up light doesn't wake you up? Don't worry. Most of them have a back-up alarm. However, the majority of users find they wake naturally, just as they would if daylight were flooding through the bedroom window.
Enter our free prize draw and you could be the lucky winner of a market-leading Lumie Bodyclock Active 250. Normally retailing at £99.95, it's the ideal solution for anyone who has to deal with irregular sleep patterns, helping you wake up naturally any time of day or night.
Thank you for your comment; we are glad that you enjoyed the blog. Don't forget to enter our giveaway to win the Lumie Bodyclock!


Was Gibson aware of the comming Fender Stratocaster?
This 1952 Gibson ES5 is the result of decades of guitar engineering. With the 3 pickups and the bigsby tremolo it has an endless number of sound blends and vibrato tremolo effects.
It should be the guitar for a new era of super guitars. At that time Leo Fender was working in his shed. He was designing a new guitar (the Stratocaster), a bit like the ES5 regarding the pickups and the tremolo but a total new concept in body and neck design.
He designed the Ikea click clack screw it together guitar for easy production and maintenance. The Gibson ES5 and Switchmaster never become a success.
Leo pushed his designs into a new era of electric guitars by taking big steps in concepts.


This week's theme is "Line".
Some of you may know this, but some of you may not (hehe). The hostess of Heads or Tails, Barb aka Skittles, is one of my closest friends. We were friends before she started HoT, so I was there to watch, admire, appreciate, and respect all the hard work and effort she put into this meme to make it such a success. She inspired me to come up with Camera-Critters - the weekend meme I host. When I told her my idea, she did nothing but encourage me and offer any help or advice she had to offer.
I wanted to drop a few LINES to ALL of the Camera-Critters participants, Barb - my special friend who encouraged me and inspired me, Tammy and Sanni - who both also encouraged me and provided much appreciated assistance, to say "Thank You!" Y'all have really made CC special, and I am grateful beyond words.
What a sweet post and a great way to interpret the theme of "LINE."
Awwwwwwwwww, this was such a sweet, endearing post. I'm glad you dropped us a line even tho I personally don't participate....maybe I should I HAVE TWO critters [three if you include hubby] in my house.
And LOVE the animation too.
I...have been such a bad friend. I feel like I haven't talked to you in ages. Life has gotten away from me and it feels irritating.
U SO ROCK!!!!! Love ya and your line!
first time here.. a very sweet post!!!
How nice of you to 'advertise' for your friend Skittles … and to draw the LINE (so literally). I love the doggie with the wagging tail. I need to learn how to 'animate' things like this myself.
Tammy sent me over to wish you a happy birthday!
I found out from Tammy that today's your special day. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday! May you always have the best of health. God bless.
Happy Birthday, Misty! I hope you have a wonderful day.
Droping a line to say I did play - and even though I will not have a computer next week I put on a scheduled post for next week.

ETPD is proud to announce a community partnership with one our local businesses. Cups and Cones of Marlton has teamed up with our department to help us promote bike helmet safety.
To help promote safe riding, officers from the Evesham Township Police Department will be issuing "tickets" to kids observed wearing their helmets while riding their bicycles. This also applies to those kids who are observed riding scooters, skates and skateboards. The tickets can be turned in to receive a free small water ice or soft serve ice cream from Cups and Cones.
We feel that these interactions are a unique way to promote safety while also being a great way for our youth to get to meet our officers and have a positive connection with our members.
