More than 50% of youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder will have persistence of the condition into adulthood.
In the study presented at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in Atlanta, Georgia, the researchers used data from the National Institute of Mental Health Multimodal Treatment Study of ADHD (MTA) to assess 453 participants at a mean age of 8 years. They were reassessed at a mean age of 25 years via self- and parent-reports on the Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS), and "CAARS DSM item scores were used to determine persistence and desistence of ADHD symptoms in adulthood based on DSM-5 criteria (presence of at least five ADHD symptoms)," the authors reported.
Logistic regression analysis revealed an association of childhood comorbidities, parental mental health problems, and parental marital problems with an increased risk of ADHD persistence. "Both ADHD severity and comorbidity are associated with impairments in functioning and greater difficulty in coping," explains lead author Arunima Roy, MBBS, a research trainee at McGill University Health Center who is under the supervision of Professor Lily Hechtman, MD. "It is also likely that, in those with higher severity, symptoms are not completely resolved with treatment, and residual symptomatology may lead to a greater likelihood of persistence," she told Psychiatry Advisor.
When childhood ADHD symptom severity was controlled for, however, the only factors linked to adult ADHD symptoms were parental mental health (OR=1.28, SE=0.09, P=.008) and parenting practices–specifically, a lack of appropriate discipline (OR=−1.38, SE=0.13, P=.017). The other factors explored, which were not found to be associated with ADHD symptom persistence, were IQ, parent-child relationships, socioeconomic status, and parental education.
"Parental mental health problems may be associated with reduced support available to the child and may also affect the child's treatment levels, adherence to treatment, and overall well-being," explains Dr Roy, and these factors could account for the connection between parental mental health and continuation of the child's ADHD symptoms. Clinicians should aim to treat ADHD symptoms to remission, she says, and they should also address comorbid mental health problems. "Third, evaluation–and if necessary, treatment–of parental mental health problems should be carried out," she advises, and parenting practices should be addressed early in treatment.

Landmark Case
Wilbert Oliver et al. vs. Escude Funeral Homes, Inc., et al.
Escude Funeral Homes
When Martha Pierre Oliver died in 1971, her son, Wilbert Oliver, approached the white-owned Escude Funeral Home, the only mortuary in his hometown of Mansura, La. The firm agreed to embalm his mother but, because she was black, refused to allow her wake to be held on its premises. Hixson Brothers Funeral Home, the only other mortuary in the parish, would not handle black bodies at all.
The indignity was compounded by the fact that Oliver's mother, the community midwife, had delivered and nursed some of the Escude children and was considered a family friend.
No local lawyers would represent him, so Oliver's priest, Father August Thompson, contacted the SPLC, which agreed to take the case.
Filed on Sept. 13, 1973, in federal court in Alexandria, La., the class action alleged that the Escude and Hixson Brothers funeral homes violated a federal law prohibiting discrimination against blacks in contracts. The facts presented by the SPLC were not disputed, and a federal judge handed down a summary judgment within a month that declared the undertakers' actions unconstitutional.
The court's decree guaranteed that blacks would have access to the same funeral services offered to whites, at the same prices. Although the practice by white undertakers of refusing to embalm or bury blacks was common throughout the South, it had never before been challenged in court. The ruling had the practical effect of forcing funeral homes throughout the nation to provide equal services to blacks and whites.
Raised in Mansura, a town of 1,600 about 70 miles northwest of Baton Rouge, Oliver was a laborer who lost his left arm in a Spanish moss-cleaning machine early in life. Despite his injury, Oliver earned a living cutting sugar cane and raising vegetables. He and his wife reared 11 children.
"He was just an ordinary man, one of the common people and not a crusader," said Father Thompson. "But it is usually the ordinary people who make a difference by doing extraordinary things. We never know what we are capable of doing until we do it."

All that it takes to start the process of consolidation loans UK is to click the tab that measures if the person is qualified for these consolidation loans UK.
Some of the most common issues face by those who are facing this financial issue is because of these common reasons: they spend more than what they earn. Debt Help Fast review says that this is one of the top reasons why people are in debt. The next step is that they borrow to pay for what they owe. The result is that a big chunk of the income goes to repaying these debts. This phase of the vicious repetitive cycle ends in the person who keeps borrowing to keep up his lifestyle before the cycle repeats itself. Ultimately, this is the step by step progress that most of those in debt goes through.
For those who are asking if they need to pay all of their creditors the answer to this will depend on the specific issue that the person is facing. The debt manager will advise the client to pay these creditors if there is a need for it. Otherwise, he will likely make one consolidation loans UK repayment.

The debt manager's role is to make life easier and less stressful for those who are in the middle of this debt situation. The debt manager simplifies things by distributing the payments accordingly.
How does the debt manager do this? Debt Help Fast review reveals that each one of the creditors will be paid. The good news is that once the person signs up, he is protected by his debt manager in dealing with his debts and debtors. The debt manager will communicate with this creditors and debt collectors.

By checking the facts given by the person they can be referred to the right product whether its consolidation loans UK or debt management UK assistance. This is the reason why Debt Help Fast review feedbacks coming from users do recommend Debt Help Fast to help consolidation loans UK issues or any financial debt crisis for that matter.
Debt Help Fast review reveals that one of the ideas on how to get out of debt is never to borrow more than necessary just to get out of a financial difficulty. In principle as discuss earlier, this is the reason why most of those who find themselves in deep debt are those that borrow from one company to pay another one whom they owe some money. This gives the person a false sense of security net where he thinks that he can simply borrow to pay for what he owes. It is too late before the person realizes that he is in deep financial hole. The sad fact is that the more he tries to get out of it he only goes in deeper sucking him like quicksand. This was the scenario that those who owe others a lot of money faces. Thanks to people or companies like this that can look at the situation and do something to solve it. It is only natural that these company must be paid for rendering this services and giving the person a new lease on life.
It is about time to create a practical budget. There are even budget planning guide to help handle money better. Using savings can actually be a great way to pay debts. The interest paid on these savings is less as compared to the interest paid for the debts. It is actually a better alternative to borrow cheaply elsewhere to replace existing the amount borrowed. By paying each of the debts, this will lower the interest rates and give the person a new chance to hope again that his life will get better from now on. Those who are in huge debts may save thousands of interest if these are computed per year. There is a big difference with planned borrowing versus borrowing or shopping on a whim. Planned borrowing means there is a goal. The situation might not be as conducive as it is now and setbacks might have taken place however, there is a great chance that after all of these has been paid what comes next is an increase in credit scores. By paying down these debts and consolidating them into one, the process of paying becomes easy.
There are really no complaints posted against this company. In fact there are no records of reports against them at all. So far it seems that this company is doing the right thing and is on the right track in matching applicants that need help with their debt consolidation or debt management. They also share some common sense tips and advice on how to help these people get out of their debt. They might not be a perfect company but, who's to complaint? With good service under its belt these are but, minor issues that can be overlook especially by those whom it had manage to help so far.
For those who might be enrolled in a debt plan and still want to get the assistance of this debt management companies UK they can still check out the Debt Help Fast portal and the debt management companies UK partners of this company. These debt management companies UK will assess the situation and move into these existing consolidation loans UK or debt management UK plans. These debt management companies UK are for those who are not satisfied with the current debt management UK companies that are said to be helping them work out their consolidation loans UK.
For those who have struggled to meet their monthly credit commitment, those that are fearful of the next ring on the phone and those that dislike opening their mail box Debt Help Fast offers one of the most decent solution that they can ever find. The great thing according to most Debt Help Fast review is that they can offer the best solution for the given situation.


Unable to open CR2 files in PSE8 or Bridge CS4? Any help would be appreciated.
3. Upgrade to PSE 11, although that won't help Bridge any.
What version of Bridge and Camera Raw is your friend using? And what camera is this from?
Each camera must be supported specifically and older versions of Adobe products don't get updated for newer cameras.
Your CS6 is obviously new enough and has been updated to a new enough version of the Camera Raw plug-in but perhaps theirs is older or hasn't been updated.
For versions older than CS6, the highest CR version is +1 of the CS version—CS5 can use CR6.x but not CR 7 or 8.
The exception is CS6 which is still be sold by Adobe so can be updated to CR8 even though it initially shipped with CR7.
I know this problem has been disscussed on multiple occassions but i am completely baffled.
Recently elements has been unable to open any new CR2 files saying they are the wrong file type. The reason i am baffled is when i bought the software (month or two ago) i could open and edit CR2 files successfully, now elements can't open any of the recent CR2 files taken and will only open certain CR2 files that i have had stored on my computer, all of which previously worked.
The Camera RAW plugin is up todate (6.6) and i have tested the SD card in another computer and worked fine. I have tried different cables in my computer and other computers in case the cable was the problem and they seem to check out fine. I have manually downloaded the plug in and checked if the plug in patch was in the correct folder, which it is, as well as re-installing the programme all to no success.
I just cant understand why the problem has started now after originally working fine. Can anyone provide some advice?
I connect to the PC by cable. I have checked the Canon codecs and it appears to be up to date.
The photos seem to transfer to the computer fine (they at least appear on the computer, with the icon showing a preview of the image) the problem is opening them in the editor.
I shoot in RAW and JPEG and i am able to open and edit all the JPEGs.
As you say the 1000D has been supported for some time and a couple of months ago when i bought elements i was able to edit the RAW files, the problem has occurred in the last month which is the strange thing.
I cant see the cable being the problem seeing as all the JPEGs open fine, and i have used the cable to connect other cameras up to the computer with no problem.
"could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional info."
I am shooting with a Canon 6D and Canon 60D so I know the camera models are supported. I have already updated to the 7.1 version of Camera Raw.
I have been trying to look for solutions for about two weeks now with no success... PLEASE HELP!!!
Make sure you're online with a good connection, open PS 11, click on the Help menu and select "Updates.." on the bottom. The rest should be automatic. It should upgrade you to 7.4.
I have a Mac running OX 10.9.1. I have CS4 installed on my computer and would like to figure out how to open RW2 files in Photoshop/Bridge. The camera I used is a Panasonic Lumiz FZ40. I have Camera Raw version 5.7.0.213 installed.
In your case, you need at least Camera Raw 6.2, that is compatible with CS5.
Luckily for you, Adobe has developped the DNG converter that can convert your RW2 to DNG files that Camera Raw 5.7 (*) will be able to open and process.
Photoshop CS5.1 will not open CR2 files. I am running OS X 10.10.1 and adobe photoshop camera raw 6.7.1. It was working fine when I had OS X Mavericks. It wasn't until I updated to Yosemite that the problem started.
I had recently bought an iMac but I'm unable to open cr2 files when I'm trying to do a double click(or doing a preview) to open in Yosemite. Although I can open them in Lightroom 5.7 and could not in CS6(understand I need to upgrade it). I know there should be a way to open cr2 files by directly double clicking on the image, but as of now I'm unable to find in the net.

Yes, I do not have any problem when opening with iPhoto.
How are you "opening" in iPhoto? Simply browsing the photos in iPhoto will may be using use the embedded preview images. Can you edit your photos in iPhoto or export them using "File > Export"? Only if you can export a photo or edit it in iPhoto using iPhoto's editor, you can be sure, that the the RAW support for your camera is properly installed.
Have you installed all recent RAW compatibility updates? And for the applications to find the installed RAW support it needs to be registered with the Launch Service database using the lsregister command. This database keeps a list of supported media formats. Sometimes this list will be outdated and recent entries missing.
I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3. When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files. I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file. I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud. I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible. Can anyone advise me what to do?
I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?
Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.
This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?
Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
This led me to the video.
Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
I'm trying to open .CR2 files (Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS) with PhotoShop CC on my Mac. When I try to open them I get an error saying the file can't be opened. The raw plugin version is 8.3.0.141. Adobe's charts say I need at least "4.6,5.1" so I would assume my version should open it. What gives?
First thing I should do is to link you to the Camera Raw forum where the members there have a far better understanding of Camera Raw problems than I do.
If the generic advice doesn't work, it's time to bring in the specialists. Click on that link and post your problem with the CR2 files.
i am at the point of installing the Application Server. Domain created sucessfully but i got boot errors as shown below.
I searched for the TUXCONFIG file but could not find it in the tuxedo installation folder.
I read that i have to create the TUXCONFIG,if missing, using tmloadcf.exe and the ubbconfig file, but the only UBBCONFIG file is located in "\samples\atmi\rpcsimp\" folder.
How do i create the TUXCONFIG file?
Did i miss something with the installation? What location should this file exist after your tuxedo installation?

Tuxedo is a registered trademark.
No bulletin board exists. Entering boot mode.
The TUXCONFIG file normally is created automatically when you create your domain.
In this case I think you ran into trouble because the path of installation is too long!
Your path is 69 chars long!
In the past I've also noticed that installations have problems with paths that have spaces - ex: 'Documents and settings' , so I would avoid that as well.
The file should be saved in the FM version that you're using it in. You can't use any newer FM version file in any older version of FM, e.g. FM8 can't open any FM10 files (except for the MIF formats).
When trying to launch a ZAV 10 app, C-Cure Administration Console, users are getting an error "**Unable to open parameter file cc800cl.pf, errno 2. (1247)". This only appears to be happening on Win7. This did work when first created, but after a few weeks the error has started to pop-up.
If this was working and is not now, and you are certain nothing has changed on the client systems (or at least nothing that could interfere here), then this might be an issue with the license used when building the application. What is the expiry date of your license and was it applied prior to building this exe?
Here is the output from two of the log files when I start tomcat4 on my linux box. I have configured the mod_jk on the tomcat side.
1) In catalina.out, where des the line 'Unable to open config file' come from? Which config file?
2) Tomcat4 is supposed to generate a mod_jk.conf automatically, but I don't see any file generated in 'conf/auto/'.
I have all those files too.
I think the 'config file' mentioned in the error log is the mod_jk.conf.
On Jason Hunter's tomcat4 guide, it says don't use the tomcat4 RPM to installed. What is the difference bettween the RPM version and the tar.gz version? The only difference I can think of is that in the RPM version, the conf directory is in the 'etc/tomcat4/conf'. Could it be the reason that tomcat4 cannot read the config file? But it has no problem reading the server.xml though.
I'm lost ... I would know how to use the debugger in Oracle Forms 6i ... Tx in advance for your help, Xav.
I have a D90 and none of my thumbnails for my files show in Bridge CS5 when connected directly from the camera. This includes ALL types of files (JPEG, NEF, etc). It shows the thumbnails when I use a card reader though. Is this common with DSLRs?
Great feature. What I would like to see is the value of the of the Temperature slider to be the actual color temperature rather than -100 t0 100. Also an eydropper would be helpful to pick out a color.

Could a 'Medicaid for All' Health Plan Actually Work?
Written by David Mills on September 5, 2017
A Democratic senator plans to introduce a Medicaid 'buy in' plan for everybody. Consumer and doctor groups are open to it, but the insurance industry hates it.
The debate over healthcare is expected to return to Congress after the Labor Day holiday.
This time, it's the Democrats' turn.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says he plans to introduce legislation for a single payer health system when Congress is back in session.
That bill picked up support last week from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who said she will co-sponsor the proposal.
The Golden State has been batting around the idea of installing a single payer system.
A single payer program is a healthcare system overseen by the government.
Along the same lines, Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) has said he will soon introduce a bill to establish a so-called "Medicaid for All" healthcare system.
Basically, that plan would allow anyone to enroll in the Medicaid program, which until now has been primarily for low-income households.
Opinions vary greatly on the proposal.
The insurance industry, for one, doesn't like the idea at all.
"It's just another name for government-run healthcare," David Merritt, executive vice president for public affairs for America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), told Healthline. "Government would simply be paying the entire bill."
However, the proposal seems plausible to the consumer groups and doctors' organizations that spoke to Healthline.
"The idea of Medicaid buy-in has potential," said Leni Preston, president of Consumer Health First. "Of course, everything is in the details."
How 'Medicaid for All' would work
Under Schatz's plan, Medicaid would still be preserved for low-income consumers.
However, the proposal would allow states to open up their Medicaid plans to anyone who wants to purchase the insurance coverage, regardless of their income.
Households with higher incomes would pay premiums, while those from low-income households would continue to receive the program benefits at no cost.
It's similar to how states currently have the option under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to expand their Medicaid program to people making less than 133 percent of the federal poverty line.
Currently, 31 states and the District of Columbia have expanded their Medicaid programs.
Now, about 74 million people participate in the Medicaid program.
Schatz's plan would make Medicaid for All one of the options in the ACA's state marketplaces.
Nevada almost became a test case for the Medicare buy-in plan.
Earlier this year, the state legislature approved a Medicare for All option, but in June, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval vetoed the measure.
He said there were still too many unanswered questions about how the program would work.
Potential advantages
Advocates of the Medicaid for All plan say one of the biggest advantages would be that more people would have insurance.
Preston said the new enrollees could include people who might drop out of the ACA system this coming year because of higher premiums.
She agreed with the idea of making the system part of the ACA's marketplaces.
"You need a basic structure in place to do this," she said.
Dr. Scott Poppen, chairman of the board of directors for Doctors for America, said physicians support the idea of increased enrollment.
"We feel that the more people who have health insurance, the better," Poppen told Healthline.
He added a Medicaid for All plan could "help people who fall between the cracks" in the current system.
Poppen said doctors also favor the provision in Schatz's plan to raise the Medicaid reimbursement rate to the same level as Medicare.
Right now, he said that rate is about 77 percent.
"This is an essential element," he noted.
Kurt Mosley, vice president of strategic alliances for Merritt Hawkins health consultants, said the Medicaid buy-in plan has the potential to provide people with low-cost options in ACA marketplaces.
He said it could also give consumers an extra choice in those markets.
"This could be advantageous to people who need help now," Mosley told Healthline.
Potential disadvantages
Merritt said the insurance industry doesn't see any advantages to a Medicaid for All plan.
For starters, he predicts such a system would raise costs for providers and raise premiums for consumers.
Some estimates say a Medicaid buy-in plan could save billions each year.
Merritt, however, isn't buying it.
He sees prices rising, as well as an increase in waste, fraud, and abuse.
Merritt also said the Medicaid buy-in plan could limit the options for consumers by forcing private insurers out of the marketplaces.
Then, states would only be offering similar programs throughout the country.
"One size for all doesn't work," he said. "You need different options for different people."
Mosley said the insurance industry's opposition to the proposal really is all about competition.
"The Medicaid proposal is going to take business away from them," he said.
However, Merritt said the insurance industry has the same goals as consumers and doctors' groups.
They just favor a different approach.
"There's no question the healthcare system needs to be fixed," he said. "We want every American to have good quality coverage."
For a Medicaid for All plan to work, there are a number of things that have to happen.
For starters, Mosley said, it has to be affordable. Otherwise, there is no reason for consumers to buy in.
Second, he said the program has to offer the same benefits to its higher income members that it does to its lower income members.
Otherwise, the folks who are paying premiums are going to feel ripped off.
"It has to be the same coverage," Mosley said.
Mosley's firm also released a survey this summer that indicated physicians across the United States are warming up to ideas like a Medicaid buy-in.
In the survey, 56 percent of doctors said they could support a single-payer system. In 2008, 58 percent were opposed.
Mosley said the key to doctors' support is the reimbursement rate.
Without it matching the Medicare rate, doctors won't participate in a Medicaid for All program.
"You can have insurance," said Mosley, "but if your doctor doesn't take it, then you're not covered."
The other hurdle for doctors' support is the image of Medicaid.
It's still viewed by many as healthcare for poor people.
"They have to market this better than they did the state marketplaces," Mosley said. "It's all about marketing because confused buyers don't buy."

The leopard foldover clutch: everybody has one and if you don't, then you're on the hunt for one. I remember the first time I saw this gorgeous bag featured in another blogger's outfit post. I thought it was the most amazing bag I'd ever seen in my entire life and I HAD TO HAVE IT. I quickly clicked on the link, like most people, and was taken aback at the price. The most popular leopard clutch is from Clare Vivier and retails for a lofty $275! As I do with most items I searched for a cheaper, but still stylish, alternative. Luckily, I stumbled across this printed leopard fold over clutch from Sole Society. Continue reading to see the pros and cons of both bags and decide if you'll save or splurge!
The verdict: My pick is...both! Life is short, buy the handbag! Either one of these bags would make a great statement piece or pop of pattern for any outfit. If you think the leopard clutch fad is just that, a fad, then the Sole Society version may be for you. If you're worried about the wear-and-tear on your bag then I would also go with the Sole Society bag. The fun tassel on the zipper is on trend and adds a touch of flair. Even though there's a difference of over $200, the Sole Society bag is just as good an investment as the Clare V version. The Clare V bag is made from quality materials which equals long-term investment. This bag will last and be by your side for as long as you let it. There's nothing but pros for both bags so have fun choosing which one to add to your closet!
If you have any items you'd like to see compared let me know in the comments below. Have a great weekend!

Google Mobile Updates Search, Latitude
May 06 2010 - Google - Farhad Divecha
Following the updates made to the Google Web search results interface, Google has also updated the mobile search results pages.
As of now, the updated service is available only in the U.S.A. on the iPhone and on Android devices.
When a user views the results of a search query, tapping on a button to the left of the search box on the search results page will reveal the new search options menu. When the user selects one of the items in the menu, the search results get refined, just as is done on regular search.
The expanded search options menu will make the paid and organic search results slide to the right side of the screen. The user can still interact with the results by panning right.
New options, such as News and Products, have also been added to the menu.
Google has promised to roll out the updated interface on other devices and in other locations as soon as possible. They will also offer more options soon.
While speaking at the Web 2.0 Expo, Google's Steve Lee hinted that a new version of Latitude would be available shortly. The updated version will allow users to access information and data about where they have been. Access to this information will be restricted to the user only.
Contrary to initial reports, the geo-location service is doing pretty well, TechCrunch reports. Latitude has 3 million active users. This is especially significant when compared to competitors, Foursquare and My Town, which have 1 million and 2 million users respectively.
In fact, 8 million people that have signed up for Latitude since its inception. It is believed that this year, Latitude grew 30% each month. The current growth of Android and Blackberry is no doubt helping fuel this growth.
Google hopes to have several third party mobile applications working through the Latitude API in the near future.

2013 marks a new beginning for me. Not so long ago, I wanted to leave music completely, believing it was merely an act of self-indulgence, that it was self-serving and does little more than satisfy one's ego. Yes artists/musicians create to express themselves, but does it do the world around them any good? There are people who help to make the world a better place - doctors, scientists, teachers etc, people who make a difference. But I didn't think I was one of them.
Then someone came along one day, a member of the audience at a performance to be exact, who said something I would never forget. He said "that was a spiritual journey for me", naming one of the pieces. At that moment it suddenly occurred to me, that if an artist/musician chooses to sincerely tell the stories he knows through his art, not performing to show off/impress, not playing to win applause, then his creation is like a mirror, a reflection of not just himself, but of the world around him and of each person in the audience who's intently listening.
That was how the name Tze n Looking Glass came about. I wanted a name for the ensemble to mean something, to be about what I hope the music is/does. Since that day, I never stopped believing that by letting everyone see the good in us/Mankind/the world through the music, we can make a difference, perhaps make the world a better place (in small but significant ways). If you understand there is much precious beauty in this world, you will do everything you can to protect it. Sometimes in our busy lives, we allow ourselves to be swept away, never pausing to take a breath, never have the time to truly appreciate the love we are given, blessed with. All that is around us. In a way, music is like a time machine, it slows life down, and gently brings to mind, the simple beautiful things in life, we may have forgotten.

Are you about to purchase a home, or have you lived in your current home for longer than a year? If so, have you had your chimney or furnace system inspected? Fire safety standards dictate that, "Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Chimney sweeping, chimney maintenance, and chimney repairs shall be done if necessary." While scheduling an appointment for an annual chimney inspection may seem like just another checklist item, this step can be integral to the safe running of your home heating system. Regular professional inspections and chimney sweeping can keep your fireplace or furnace system free of debris, catch small issues before they turn into large, invasive repairs, and keep your home free of dangerous gases and fire hazards.
"While an inspection might bring up problems that vary in degrees of complexity, and difficulty, an inspection is still an inspection"
While most Chimney Sweep companies make you choose a various level of inspection, here at Emberstone Chimney Solutions, we understand that everything might not always be so cut and dry.
We specialize in identifying the root casues of chimney + fireplace issues and providing lasting solutions that treat the real problem not the syptom, earning repeat business with professionalism, cleanliness, and clear communication.
Our technicians are highly educated and frequently trained on all safety measures required for providing lasting chimney + fireplace repairs. We take care of our professionals so they can provide expert care for you.
Our inspection experts are certified to inspect any type of fireplace or chimney in your home or office.
Our cleaning professionals are trained to remove all dirt,creosote buildup, debris and pests from your home or office chimney + fireplace.
From chimney relining to advanced masonry repair, our profesional chimney technicians have the skills needed to keep you safe and warm.
A typical inspection begins with your technician conducting a visual check of the easily accessible areas (both interior, and exterior) of the chimney and fireplace areas. Your inspector will be looking for the soundness of the chimney and flue and keeping an eye out for any obstructions or blockages, including birds' nests, soot, and creosote buildup (the leading cause of chimney fires). The chimney inspector will also check the quality of your fireplace installation, fire + heat safety clearances, the structural integrity of the chimney and lining and the security of any gas appliance connections.
At this point, if there is an area of concern(or if you have made changes to your chimney system), your technician will conduct a more in-depth scan of the fireplace and chimney areas. This will include checking for safety concerns if your home has experienced a dramatic event, such as a hurricane, tornado, or earthquake. This usually requires special tools, but no form of demolition.
He / She will then perform a chimney scan. During this process, the technician will operate a specialized remote camera system to get an in-depth view of areas of the chimney and furnace. In order to obtain the best visuals for a chimney scan, the chimney area may need to be swept first to remove any excessive debris. This can take upwards of 20 - 30 minutes.
The remote camera system can turn corners and travel up to 30 to 40 feet into your chimney. The camera's size and capabilities can capture blockages and cracks beyond the abilities of visual check, simply because the system is more agile. This scan also allows for more intensive inspection without requiring removal of parts of the chimney or structural areas.
Concealed areas of the chimney system will need to be inspected. Chimney service technicians may be required to remove permanently attached parts of the chimney or the building structure in order to gain access to potential blockages or other areas with issues. This is generally a final step in order to confirm that major repairs and/or restoration must be completed to bring the chimney system back into safe working order.

Meet the honey badger: Guest post by Graham Davis
Africa, Articles, badgers, Guest Posts
This week, Graham Davis, Founder of Continental Shift, introduces a legendary animal that I heard many stories about during my time in South Africa. Graham explains that. Africa is home to the most fearless animal! And it probably wouldn't be in your top 20 suspects!
Meet the honey badger!
What you need to know about this incredible animal and why this seemingly unremarkable looking mammal has been referred to by the Guinness Book of World Records as the most fearless animal in all of the animal kingdom…
What does a honey badger look like?
Despite its name, the honey badger does not closely resemble other badger species; instead, it bears more anatomical similarities to weasels.
They are the largest terrestrial mustelids in Africa. Adults measure up to 28cm (11in) in shoulder height and 55-77cm (22–30in) in body length, with the tail adding another 12–30 cm (4.7–11.8in). Females are smaller than males. In Africa, males can weigh up to 16 kg (35lb) while females weigh up to 10kg (22lb).
Its lifespan in the wild is unknown, though captive individuals have been known to live for approximately 24 years.
Where does a honey badger live?
Honey badgers are found in Africa, Asia and India. They are native to areas of Africa and Asia, from southern Morocco to Africa's southern tip, and western Asia's Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, and western India.
They live mainly in dry areas but are also found in forests and grasslands.
It is primarily a carnivorous species and has few natural predators because of its thick skin and ferocious defensive abilities.
Along with sharp teeth, honey badgers also have incredibly strong jaws and can bite down with enough force to break the shell of a tortoise.
They will stand their ground and mix it with the best of those foolhardy enough to take them on.
How thick is honey badger skin?
The honey badger has a fairly long body, but is distinctly thick-set and broad across the back.
Its skin is remarkably loose, and allows it to turn and twist freely within it. The skin around the neck is 6 millimetres (1/4 in) thick, an adaptation to fighting.
There are reports of arrows and spears glancing off their thick, rubbery skin, which is also loose enough that, should a honey badger get caught in the mouth of a predator, say a lion, it can writhe around and break loose or even attack the predators face and eyes.
How do honey badgers survive snake bites?
25% of their diet is made up of venomous snakes and they are able to maintain that diet as they are immune to many different types of snake venom.
For instance, alpha-neurotoxins found in cobra snakes cause paralysis, respiratory failure, and death, yet honey badgers have mutated their receptors to defend against this neurotoxin.
So, the honey badger will take the bite, kill the snake, pass out and when it wakes up, eats the snake.
What else does a honey badger eat?
Honey badgers often become serious poultry predators.
Because of their strength and persistence, they are difficult to deter. They are known to rip thick planks from hen-houses or burrow underneath stone foundations.
They have been documented exhibiting surplus killing, killing far more than they need to eat causing a huge problem for farmers with one incident resulting in the death of 17 Muscovy ducks and 36 chickens.
Are honey badgers smart?
They are one of the few mammals that have learned to use tools.
They can open gates, roll logs to stand on and regularly escape from zoos. See short video below:
Do Honeyguides lead honey badgers to beehives?
Greater Honeyguide birds (Indicator indicator) are reported to lead badgers to beehives, whereupon the badger breaks open the hive and after feeding, leaves scraps for the bird.
This relationship continues to be a contentious issue amongst ornithologists and has never been comprehensively documented.
This association has never been reported despite seeing badgers break into hives on many occasions in areas where honeyguides also exist.
It is believed that honeyguides might follow the badgers rather than the other way around.
What makes a honey badger so tough?
Honey badgers are reputed to go for the scrotum when attacking large animals. The first published record of this behaviour was a circumstantial account by Stevenson- Hamilton (1947) where a badger reportedly castrated an adult Buffalo.
Where it may lack in overall size, the combination of long, sharp claws, the thick and loose skin, powerful jaws, sharp teeth, stocky strength, agility, superior intelligence and immunity to most venom more than makes up for it.
In addition to this formidable armoury, they have a reversible anal pouch that they can push out when threatened which emits a foul smell to frighten off predators.
The smell of the pouch is said to be "suffocating", and may have a calming effect when raiding hives of the much feared African bees. They simply don't see the need to back off!
Graham is the founder of Continental Shift, a seasoned ex-backpacker and has acquired a particular affinity with Africa. He has since been back many times and each time there has been something new to be gained. He now works with leading African artists and his sales of their work contribute funds towards the active fight against rhino poaching.

Wow, fascinating video — thank you for sharing! They really are a formidable force!
I saw honey badgers in South Africa, I didn't realise how ferocious looking they were! Those teeth!
Incredible really! A far cry from the badgers I'm used to seeing in the British countryside!
Ben From says:
Fascinating and funny little things, but a bit overly hyped lately. For instance lions do maul and kill them, that video about honey badger taking on 6 lions is about very young lions playing around. There are several videos etc. where lions kill honey badgers. All it takes is one hungry lion or irritated enough and bye bye little guy…. they are grumpy and funny, but not some invulnerable comic book characters.
Hi Ben, thank you for your comment. Absolutely true that honey badgers do get killed by lions; which are of course apex predators, and highly skilled and adapted to prey on others… and pretty darn fearless themselves! I remember a brilliant documentary on Nat Geo years ago that showed lions taking on fully grown adult elephants at night, right up in the middle of the herd! That seemed like a similar kind of fearless/crazy! 🙂
I wonder if that documentary was from Botswana and Savuti. But still luckily elephants are in normal conditions quite safe, what comes to lions. Even though I do like lions, I hate to see elephants hunted, so magnificent animals, but wildlife is wildlife.
What comes to honey badgers, I like them too and a lot. Still time to time I like to see realism too, while talking about animals. Of course honey badgers give many entertaining moments and they do have quite attitude, which without a doubt save them time to time especially from younger lions. In some cases even inexperienced adults can be so confused, that letting go 🙂 But time to time it looks like some people really start to think, that honey badger would be doing whatever it wants, which isn´t the case after all. But it does all it can to survive in harsh environment and for an animal that size. doing a good job!
But why I want to bring in time to time other kind of point of view, one reason is for instance wolverine. It is in many places endangered and also has reputation, that it does what it wants. And harsh reality is, that it too knows fear and flees from bears and wolves normally, if not, getting killed very fast. In some cases it can fight, but that isn´t normal way for it. Some people even think, that it could be dangerous for people. That kind of wrong images won´t always make conservation easy, I think, if people think that some animal is so tough, that it can survive anything etc… or that it´s some killing machine massacring other animals all the time.
A bit long reply now from me, but hopefully opening up a bit why I like to discuss also with down to earth attitude, even though I too have laughed for many honey badgers and like a lot of them.

Pretend to be a navigator, an engineer, or a first mate and go on a maritime adventure at Ocean Quest. Integrating ship models with artifacts, this new exhibit touches upon scientific concepts and reveals local nautical history through hands-on activities. For this exhibit, Ocean Quest is collaborating with the Newport Beach Historic Society and local yacht clubs to salute Newport Harbor.
Sports fans and art fans can team up their interests at this exhibition. It showcases an all-star lineup of internationally-known, award-winning artists whose work reveal different facets of professional sports – from the venues and stadiums to the athletes and teams. Gallery hours are 12 pm-4 pm Thursdays-Fridays; 10 am-4 pm Saturdays-Sundays.
Moon bounces, field games, live entertainment, a petting zoo, and kids' crafts are all nice attractions, but the day's big highlights involve meeting the Spring Bunny and the "candy scrabble" egg hunts (which commence at noon for children 12 and younger and are divided up by age groups). Come early for the pancake breakfast that gets served up starting at 8 am.
Candy – thousands of pounds of it – gets distributed during the day's egg hunts (visit its website for schedule details). Game booths, Easter Bunny photos, and live music equal more family fun. You can also learn about various community services (including summer camp and classes info.). Plus the city's Kiwanis Club will serve a pancake breakfast and hot lunch.
This egg hunt isn't your ordinary egg hunt – this is Tustin's 50th anniversary egg hunt! The hunt starts at 9 am, but the festivities get going at 8:30 a.m. The morning's merriments include pony rides, a BMX live show, inflatables, game booths, a petting zoo, and "kreepy kreatures." Also making an appearance will be the Easter Bunny!
Kids (ages 11 and younger) get ready for action – egg hunts will be rolling continuously from 8:30 am-11 am. The holiday merriment also includes carnival games and craft projects. Please bring a sack or basket for treat collecting. Also, parents are encouraged to remain out of the hunt areas so kids can enjoy their own goodies.
San Clemente hosts a trio of spring celebrations today. From 9 am-12 pm, the Meadows contains a variety of amusements (like Bunny visits, bubble roller races, an Abbit the Average performance, train rides and games). Age-based egg hunts will happen from 10 am-11:30 am. The Aquatic Center features more fun – including underwater egg hunts and the Snorkel Bunny – from 12 pm-4 pm.
This Easter party might be the only one with a Skateboarding Bunny! There'll be an all-ages egg hunt along with one for youngsters ages 4 and younger. Plus there'll be bounce houses, crafts, games, and (at noon) a fun color blast. The event, lasting from 11 am-1 pm, is limited to 200 people, so don't be late.
Dogs, cats, fish, llamas and goats – oh my! This popular animal expo presents a menagerie of more than 1,000 creatures. Enjoy the wide array of competitions, exhibitors, and demonstrations; dog and reptile shows are perennial favorites. Children also can learn valuable lessons on pet care. Animals will be available for adoption, but please leave your pet at home.

Meet Lenny Lopes
Lenny Lopes is a Brazilian contemporary artist who lives and works in London. She works in a predominantly abstract form focusing more on mixed media with unique techniques. Born in the state of Maranhão and having grown up in Brasília, her love for both nature and modernity was born and began to flourish. As a child, having moved from a small village in the north east to the vibrant capital of Brazil, known for its modernist and futurist architectural style and art, her curiosity to integrate both her early memories of the Brazilian countryside, and of her adolescent youth is indicated through her warm yet vibrant combination of colours, shapes and layering. " Growing up in a family of eleven children, my parents influenced us all to express our individuality and be creative. Today I feel privileged to create beautiful pieces of art."

By Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer, 4 years ago
It was no shock to see the report today that Wisconsin's Sam Dekker is turning pro. He had to. His stock never will be higher after a breakout NCAA tourney in which he averaged 19.1 points and made 15-of-36 3-pointers in helping the Badgers reach the national championship game. Now what for Wisconsin? Bo Ryan never has finished lower than fourth place in the Big Ten since becoming Wisconsin coach in 2001-02. But he'll face a roster with some yawning holes next season, putting that remarkable "top four" streak in jeopardy. In addition to losing Dekker, who had a season of

Four Big Ten stars named Sporting News' 2014 preseason All-Americans
Sporting News columnist and BTN contributor Mike DeCourcy posted Sporting News' 2014 preseason All-Americans on Wednesday. The Big Ten has one first-team honoree. It's got to be Wisconsin big man Frank Kamsinsky, right? Nope, it's Michigan State star Branden Dawson. Wisconsin's Sam Dekker and Nebraska's Terran Petteway check in on the second team, while Kaminsky, the conference's preseason player of the year, lands on the third team. The third-team honor for Kaminsky is a bit surprising, if for no other reason than he was named AP preseason All-America on Tuesday. That said, Dekker and Petteway on the second team make
