Metabolic syndrome significantly raises the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and/or stroke. Obesity and insulin resistance are also closely linked to the condition.
At Jefferson, our endocrinologists use the latest science to develop strategies to lower the risk of recurrent disease in patients with previous cardiovascular and metabolic ailments and prevent the onset of heart disease in those at risk.
A large waistline – also known as abdominal obesity, it is defined as a waist circumference of more than 40 inches for men and more than 35 inches for women.
A high triglyceride level – a type of fat found in the blood, a high level is considered more than 150 mg/dl.
A low HDL cholesterol level – sometimes called "good" cholesterol. Men would have a level of less than 40 mg/dl and women would be less than 50 mg/dl.
High fasting blood sugar – glucose abnormalities are characterized by a fasting plasma glucose of more than 100 mg/dl, or more severe hyperglycemia.
The focus on this disease is prevention and changing behaviors that can lead to chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Jefferson endocrinologists and cardiologists can help you manage the risk factors of metabolic syndrome and reduce the probability of developing heart disease. Our medical team will lessen your metabolic syndrome risks by providing individualized counseling on lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medication therapy.

Time to own up. How much do you want that goal?
This week I've been writing my Workbook for 2018 for my clients. I've loved doing this; it's a free 30 page book full of tips to keep you on track in between or after your sessions. There are exercises and inspirational quotes to keep you going.
What is your Motivational Score?
One of the questions I ask is 'What is your Motivational Score?' In other words, how much do you really want your goal? And, more to the point, how hard are you willing to work at it?
But exactly how much time and effort are you willing to put into any of these? Are you prepared to pick yourself up when it gets tough?
The difference between success and failure is often that successful people keep going.
They have the same amount of talent as you do, the same circumstances, the same difficulties. But they keep going because they really want their goal.
Without staying power, your goal remains a wish. There is no one with a magic wand to bring about the changes you want. The only person who can affect change is you. And of course my role is to support and help you stay on track.
Out of ten, what's your score?
If you could do one thing today that would bring your goal closer, what would that be?
Okay- so what's stopping you? If you're scoring 8 and more but you don't know how to start, maybe we should have a chat.

You would find that Dragon Ball is part of the pop culture which is why even many merchandising industries have also taken this into account. It is able to combine anime, adventure, fantasy and martial arts. In fact, it would be extremely pleasing for you to know that there are many action figures that different fans would be able to enjoy.
First of all, you need to understand that Dragon Ball is a manga series which has been written and illustrated by Toriyama. There have been several comics that were also published along with different films, movies and a number of video games that originated out of this series. However, you would also find Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z Toys which are the perfect addition to any Dragon Ball's fan's room.
Toys also include action figures mainly and there are action figures for both heroes and villains. You have Goku, along with Vegeta, Gogeta, and Trunks, along with Perfect Cell, Gohan, Piccolo and so many others. Therefore, get an action figure of your favorite hero or villain; whatever floats your boat! You might also wonder about the price of these toys. The price ranges from around $15 to $25 in the market, which is not that match. You would also find bundles that have different figures in one packet. These can also be found on eBay. The size of the figure ranges from 4 inches to 8 inches.
You have to remember that there are some toys which can actually survive harsh and rough treatment. However, some of the action figures are mere collectibles; ideal for being displayed simply on the shelves for different collectors. Therefore, make sure that you investigate into this before you buy Dragon Ball Toys.
Apart from action figures, you would also find collectible card games. You would also be able to acquire stickers for Dragon Ball Z. Of course, you have different kinds of action figures. You can get loose ones, whereas you can also get hybrid figures. In addition, there are vinyl figures as well. You really have to watch out for the ones that you truly want. However, as you can see, Dragon Ball has truly become part of our pop culture and if you are a true fan, then you would definitely want these toys for yourself. They are for children and adults alike. You do not have to be a child to enjoy these action figures!

Deadcrow, the Dutch producer who has primarily made his name as a leading light in the wave scene, is taking a slight diversion for his latest release, "#VERYRARE". Wave, as we're all abundantly aware by now, usually focuses around weightless, atmospheric electronics with elements of grime, trap and R&B thrown in for good measure. "#VERYRARE", however, largely eschews that in favour of a peak-time, percussive banger full of chrome synths and riotous claps. Whether this is a permanent change in direction for Deadcrow or just a chance for him to flex his creative muscles in new ways isn't clear, either way it's one hell of a banger.
"#VERYRARE" is out now on the Saturate Vol. 6 comp.


So first off, I'll admit that I stole the title of this post from a Rob Bell podcast, which you can find here. I encourage you to take a listen.
Essentially, Bell discusses how our lives are defined both by the major moments, the spikes in the timeline, and by the daily habits and routines, the intentions and the actions of our days.
Explosions, the moments of transformation and redirection, often take form in the chaos, the hugely impactful moments, relationships, loss, crisis, new jobs and jobs left, births, major decisions, momentary lapses, the moves, and on and on as applicable to your life.
The increments - the focused, deliberate, habits, routines and rituals - are just as varied and diverse and easily recognizable when you look for them: diet, exercise, focus, personal indulgences, great sacrifice, bitterness, jealousy, envy, ego, pridefulness, lust and on and on ad infinitum.
The explosions are the easily identifiable peaks and valleys in our life's. The major plot twists and turns that appear to drive and direct it all. They're the days of massive exhilaration, joy, decision and the moments of crushing blows, death, injustice.
I find the increments are easiest identified in hindsight and in somedays and intentions. I can look back and say "how did I gain 15 pounds?" and by looking at my habits and routines (I ate like crap, I didn't exercise, etc.) and that's how. But In the moment, daily, I don't necessarily relate my choices to their consequences. I just think I'm eating pasta at ten o'clock because I want to and I'm hungry. I have a tendency to be focused on an immediacy that doesn't have impact and simultaneously a future and a goal or outcome that's overwhelming and unattainable.
Today, I've flipped around a lot of what I thought I knew upside down. Today I look in hindsight and see that the major moments that are seemingly out of my control while I'm subjected to their currents are as easily offset by the intentional habits, practices and actions.
Today, I build small successes into meaningful momentum. I offset the big explosions with an awareness of the collective totatlity of daily progress and growth.
Now, I simply try to take care of the moment and action while letting outcomes and results and destinations take care of themselves.
I've never been so blessed.

As a junior professional cyclist representing the U.S. in tournaments from Belgium to the Bahamas, Adrian Muniz has been around the globe. Now he wants to immerse himself in those nations and cultures again, but this time as an international businessman.
The first-year business administration student competed with Team VeloSport for three years, consistently claiming top-10 rankings against competitors worldwide. But Muniz "aged out" of the league when he turned 18 earlier this year, so he began pursuing a new dream: becoming the first in his family to attend a university.
Muniz had originally planned to major in engineering, like many of his friends, but he switched to business after realizing it could incorporate his cosmopolitan interests.
However, college was far from a sure thing for Sanchez, who is living in the country without legal permission. In fact, he spent most of his life believing it was an impossibility. Sanchez came to the U.S. from Mexico with his mother when he was just 6 months old and spent several years sleeping on the floor of a cramped apartment.
He'd been working alongside his stepfather in San Diego County since he was 8, doing landscaping and construction in the summers and after school. Translating for him taught Sanchez to communicate with project managers and businesspeople, and these early interactions made him curious about business administration.
But Sanchez was resigned to continuing in construction after high school, since his undocumented status meant he couldn't receive enough financial aid to attend a university. Former President Barack Obama's 2012 announcement of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program changed Sanchez's future.
Sanchez was accepted by nearly all the University of California and California State University schools he applied to, but UCI had been his goal since that middle school visit.
A first-year business administration major, Sanchez is already president of the Mesa Court Council, designing events to make residents of the housing community feel welcome. Over the next four years, he hopes to join a business fraternity, meet people through clubs and activities, and – although being undocumented could make it complicated – study abroad.
Most teenagers are content with a summer job scooping ice cream or bagging groceries. Not Ramiro Quezada Jr.
He worked four jobs throughout high school, including officiating soccer games and running his own cellphone repair business. Quezada eventually saved enough money to go in with his parents on a house, a fixer-upper in his hometown, Riverside. He decided to refurbish and resell it, putting him on track to start his own property renovation company – at 17.
Blue Ribbon Real Estate, which specializes in flipping houses in Southern California, received approval as an S-class corporation in June. Quezada manages it with his parents: His mother serves as financial director, and his father helps with renovations. Since January, Quezada has flipped five properties.
Now a first-year business administration major at UCI, Quezada credits his parents' work ethic and sacrifices for his own success. They emigrated from Guadalajara, Mexico, "with almost nothing but a drive to create a life" for Quezada and his brothers, he says, and have always supported his business ventures.
Quezada hopes to continue running Blue Ribbon Real Estate while in college by outsourcing some of the larger jobs. At UCI, he's looking forward to learning more advanced business practices and enhancing his plans to operate his own companies after graduation.


This evening really was a treat for me. First off, I finally had the opportunity to visit the Sutro Baths in San Francisco while playing tour guide to my good bud, Chris Lazzery. I was so surprised at the variety of landscape photography that this area has to offer – very cool stuff!
Secondly, while photographing along one of the concrete perimeters of the bath pools, I bumped into Tony Eckersley and the lovely Robyn Chau. They were on the adjacent beach, so I climbed down to enjoy photographing the sunset – which also was quite beautiful and even had a small complement of wispy clouds just above the horizon.
Thirdly, and finally, just as we were about to pack up and head back up for the evening, we noticed a small group of photographers further down on the beach practicing spinning wool. This is something that I've always wanted to photograph but never had the opportunity. So, we meandered on over to them and asked if it'd be ok to join them. Thankfully, the group was beyond accommodating and let us join in on the fun. Tony made a really good point that all of us seemed to walk away with unique enough compositions despite photographing the same subjects – that is something that I really do admire.
I ended up editing this photo first because I absolutely love the refection of the spinner and his crazy little streaks of burning wool. I've got a bunch more but will spread them out over the next few weeks/months.
Great running into you +Brian Matiash! What an awesome night. I am psyched not only to witness a great sunset, but hang out and take some pretty cool photos with wonderful people!
wow! What a time you are having! This is incredible and I can't wait to see the rest!
Hahahahaah +Jenny Kim! Totally see that now.
Hot ish, +Brian Matiash. I'm headed west tomorrow with absolutely no specific subject in mind. I'll most likely end up on the coast, since my wife scored me a Big Stopper for Christmas. Sutro Baths was one of the possible stops, looks like I just missed you all by a day.
Really? When I first saw it I got an… er, different idea.
You are selling a photo that art students set up for you? I hope you get them a drink.
Love the reflection! Great shot!
it was cool to met you guys! cool photo!
Hey +Jim Barcelona, I'm not sure whether it was you who was nice enough to let me and my friends join in and photograph the spinning wool at the Sutro Baths last night. Regretfully, I didn't get anyone's contact info so I didn't know who to properly attribute thanks to. In any case, I normally place a link to purchase photos that I post as I see nothing wrong with it. However, given that I didn't confirm with whoever it was that performed the spinning wool whether they're ok with it, I removed the purchase link. No harm, no foul.
If you're the one who we met last night, I definitely want to thank you and am happy to buy you a drink if we meet in the field again.
No worries. Ya, you met me, +Ted Chin and Wincent Crabeo and another friend Tiffany. Ted and Wincent spun. Great photo!
+Jim Barcelona Cool! Glad that we were able to connect here. It really was a pleasure meeting you and the rest of the gang.
This is on our clubs list of things to do, spinning steel wool.
Waiting for Google to take the photo and run with it on their search homepage… I too saw the g first and foremost….

Missouri Workers' Compensation – Safety Violation Verses Non-Compensability
In Boothe v. Dish Network, Inc. (SD36408, 12/29/2020) the Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, was faced with an issue over the compensability of an injury resulting from a van accident caused by the employee blacking out when he choked on a breakfast sandwich.
Facts: Boothe was a service representative for Dish Network, handling a territory in the Potosi - St. Clair, MO area adjacent to I-44. When not traveling on 44, he traveled on state highways and country roads, worked alone and was on a tight schedule. One morning while preparing to make his first call, he stopped at a convenience store and bought several items including a breakfast sandwich. Dish had a safety rule which forbade drinking and eating while driving, a rule well known to Boothe. While driving to his first service call, he choked while eating the sandwich, blacked out, and struck a concreate pillar, causing neck and back injuries. Dish denied liability.
Administrative Law Judge's Decision: The ALJ awarded compensations since the van accident was the prevailing factor in causing Boothe's injuries and the risk source was his having to drive a Dish van on rural highways while subject to a strict timeline. Thus, the ALJ concluded that the injuries arose out of Boothe's employment. However, the ALJ reduced the benefits by 30%, applying Sec. 287.120.5 due to Boothe's violation of Dish's no-eating-while-driving safety rule.
Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's Decision: On appeal by Dish, in a 2:1 decision, the Commission reversed the award entered by the ALJ, ruling that the "risk source" leading to the accident and injuries was Boothe's decision to eat breakfast while driving, a risk unrelated to his employment, as confirmed by Dish's safety rule. An appeal by Boothe then followed.
Court of Appeals' Decision: In a 2:1 decision, the Court reinstated the award in Boothe's favor. The Court agreed that the risk source, the activity leading to the injuries, was Boothe's driving and crashing the van, not the choking on the sandwich. The Court cited Taylor v. Contract Freighters, a case in which the claimant was injured when he had a coughing fit while driving his 18-wheeler. Where the Court disagreed with the Commission's ruling involved the Court's finding that Boothe's job required him to drive extensively which then exposed him to driving risks to which he was not equally exposed in his non-employment life.
The Court also had to respond to Dish's argument that the violation of their safety rule prohibiting eating while driving took Boothe out of the course of his employment. The Court rejected the argument, which was based on the holding in Fowler v. Baalmann, since in Fowler the pilot of an airplane crashed after taking off in violation of his employer's direct order not to fly due to bad weather, an act which the Court concluded severed the employer-employee relationship. Here, that relationship continued. The Court also observed that the 25% - 50% safety violation benefits reduction permitted by Sec. 287.120.5 would not need to exist if such a violation took the employee completely out of the course of their employment.
The dissenting member of the Court's three judge panel concluded that the risk source was not Boothe's driving risks but was the risk of his blacking out due to choking caused by his decision to eat while driving which then led to the van striking a concrete pillar adjacent to the highway. Thus, the dissenting judge would have affirmed the denial entered by the Commission.
A Motion for Rehearing and an Application for Transfer to the Supreme Court may be filed. The chances of one or the other being granted are slightly increased where the decision was not unanimous. Otherwise the case will be remanded to the Commission.
Take Away: First, we must make sure to distinguish this case, and like cases, from those where the injury was caused by a truly idiopathic condition such as a seizure or stroke. These remain non-compensable under Sec. 287.020.3(3). However, choking or coughing are not considered idiopathic events since such are common bodily reactions or events. Next, the litigation history of Boothe, which includes an award of benefits by the ALJ, followed by a denial by the Commission, and then a reversal by the Court of Appeals, but with a dissent, well illustrates how fact specific and unpredictable are these types of cases. Therefore, each requires careful analysis and a cautious assessment of compensability.

Tina Craig's Suitcase
By Kristie Ramirez
Photographs by Ryann Ford
Since co-founding the blog Bag Snob, in 2005, McKinney resident Tina Craig has become one of the fashion industry's most influential style arbiters. Each month more than 300,000 visitors flock to the site—which the 42-year-old launched with her best friend, Kelly Cook—to read honest musings on the latest handbags: Craig likens a pink teardrop-shaped pony-hair bag to an "illustration out of a stomach medicine commercial," while a favored Miu Miu shearling satchel "reminds me of my puppy, and I have a strong urge to cuddle it." The Snob empire now includes five additional blogs (on beauty, couture, jewelry, shoes, and children's products), and top designers like Oscar de la Renta, Derek Lam, and Donna Karan regularly invite Craig to preview their wares. This month, she heads to New York Fashion Week to check out next season's it bags before they're sent down the runway.
About the Items in Tina Craig's Suitcase
• My orange Hermès Birkin bag is a 25. When people say "It's a 25" or "It's a 35," they're talking about the width, which is measured in centimeters. Mine is small, but it fits all my stuff and it's perfect for me.
• Cindy Chao is one of a few living jewelry artists to have work in the Smithsonian's permanent collection. She created this custom ring, which has the diamond from my engagement ring and an emerald from another ring my husband, David, gave me for Christmas.
• I got these for $400 at the Louboutin private editors' preview, which is held a few days before the actual sample sales begin. I get an adrenaline rush when I know the value of something and I get it for a great price.
• Those are eyedrops from Japan that instantly take out the red. It actually burns when you use it. You're blinded for, like, five seconds.
• These are fun little double-sided leather Hermès bracelets. I don't want to be decked out in diamonds all day, so I like to wear these more casual pieces.
• I sometimes attend up to thirteen shows a day during Fashion Week, but I love wearing these Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte boots. They are my favorite shoes even though I developed Morton's neuroma from walking around in my heels.
• Bobbi Brown is a friend. I've been using her makeup since college. I don't go anywhere without her highlighter.
• Pink is my favorite color. This is an Hermès Haut à Courroies. I spend money on three things: shoes, diamonds, and handbags. So many of my clothes come from sample sales and vintage shops.
• DL1961 makes the best butt-lifting, body-shaping jeans. They have a special four-way stretch, and they just suck you in.
• I saw this in the children's department at Target. People always think it's this $1,000 fur coat, and I'm like, "It was $39.99!"
• This is one of Thakoon's spring 2012 bags. It's a sample; no one has it yet. He knows I love bright colors, so he sent it to me as a gift.
• Bag Snob collaborated with DKNY this year to create five basic bags. This is the Trendy Bag. It has a cross-body shoulder strap and also turns into a fanny pack.
• Interior designer Kelly Wearstler has translated her aesthetic to clothing and accessories. This is a pyrite-and-python clutch. I should actually put it on my coffee table.

Q: CSS translate to the top of
* with animation What I'm trying to achieve is to translate an item in a
 to the top of the list but with a transition effect.
This is what I have till now:

$( "#button" ).click(function() {
  $("#select").addClass("is-moved");
});
.navbar-nav{
  margin 0;
 }

.nav{
  float: none;
  list-style: none;
  padding-left: 0;
}

.singlechatContainer {
    -moz-transition: all 2s;
    -webkit-transition: all 2s;
    -o-transition: all 2s;
    transition: all 2s;
}
.is-moved {
    position: absolute !important;
    z-index: 10 !important;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    transform: translateY(calc(-20vw + 70px));
}

<button id="button">Test button</button>

Test

Test

Test

Hello1

Hello2

Hello3

My problem is that I have to change the container position to absolute to be able to make the animation. But I don't know how to change this back and keep it as first item in the UL.
What I want to achieve looks like this, but with 'hello1' becoming the second item.:

another problem is that if you scroll while it's moving, it will move till the visual top of the list and won't continue (I know that with my current code it's obvious but I have no idea how to achieve this).
Here an example of what happens if you scroll down (What I don't want):

I want it to continue moving up but under the block of "new chat"
Does someone know how to achieve this? It can be in javascript or jQuery as well.
Thanks in advance! :)

A: Room for improvement but more or less does what you want I think.

A: For the first issue where Hello2 moves on top of Hello1, you would need add padding-top in your .nav that is equal to height of a .singlechatContainer.
For the second issue, since, you're only translating to a fixed value of calc(-20vw + 70px), it will stop. Instead, you should use top: 0; to ensure that it goes all the way to the top regardless of the scroll position. You don't need transform. Also, you may need to add position: relative to your .nav.
For both issues, I would revise my CSS to:
.nav {
    position: relative;
}

.nav.has-moved {
    padding-top: 40px; // <-- Adjust according to height of .singlechatContainer
}

.singlechatContainer {
    -moz-transition: all 5s;
    -webkit-transition: all 5s;
    -o-transition: all 5s;
    transition: all 5s;
}
.is-moved {
    position: absolute !important;
    z-index: 10 !important;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    top: 0; // <-- Notice, we removed transform
}

It is assumed you would add has-moved class to your .nav when the chat is selected.

The reunification jackpot
We are often mistakenly told that Willy Brandt's Ostpolitik brought about German reunification. Although it was an important turning point in the process, German reunification was a long journey from the 1949 establishment of West Germany to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
The Constitution of West Germany, initiated by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, was called "Grundgesetz," or basic law, instead of "Verfassung," which stands for Constitution in English, in order to avoid giving the impression that the German separation would be permanent. None of the five succeeding chancellors deviated from such a vision of reunification. If it were compared to a relay race, all the runners would have run in the same lane of the track.
West Germany steadily established a foundation for reunification "from below." Since the 1970s, the government of West Germany continued to encourage civilian and student exchanges with East Germany. It never gave up, although East Germany's initial response was cold.
East Germany eventually responded with more enthusiasm and 5,000 students from West Germany and 1,250 students from East Germany visited each other in 1982. During the student exchanges, they became to understand each other through homestay programs.
In 1983, East Germany stopped the student exchanges because it felt a sense of crisis. The program, however, resumed two years later and continued until the day of reunification.
At the same time, more than 50 cities in West and East Germany formed sister city relationships until 1988, and local autonomous governments of West Germany provided substantial support to the residents of their East German sister cities. The tight network of the civic societies was called "capillaries" after the vessels that deliver blood to every centimeter of the human body.
The reunification of the two Koreas suddenly became a hot topic starting this year, with the discussions focused on the appropriateness of Korean reunification. The discussions highlight that reunification is a must and a great thing, and it will eventually prove to be a jackpot for the Korean economy. Without discussing the tough process ahead on the difficult path to reunification, some people merely express enthusiasm in the rosy future that will befall a unified Korea.
Our reunification will unify the two Koreas under a liberal democracy and market economy. North Korea, however, still promotes unification under Communism. If that is not possible, it wants the status quo of national division. The North's nuclear weapons program is also a kind of survival strategy to protect its regime's security.
That is why there is a long way to go for the two Koreas to agree on reunification. The greatest weakness of the current discussions in the South is that they are simply praising reunification without talking about which kind of reunification we need or are likely to get.
At the beginning of this year, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un issued a rare New Year's address and proposed improvements in inter-Korean relations. President Park Geun-hye, in a practical response to Kim's proposals, declared that the South will reinforce civilian assistance and exchanges with the North to establish a foundation for reunification. Park also reaffirmed that she is willing to meet with Kim anytime if necessary.
Park's remarks were far more promising than the Unification Ministry's unproductive commentary on Kim's address. The ministry was supposed to present new North Korea policy ideas, but instead it analyzed Kim's speech by presenting every single precedent in which the North had proposed talks and then staged a provocation and violated its previous promises. The Unification Ministry is not a government body whose sole task is to analyze and interpret North Korean affairs. It has to push for the future as well.
Kim's New Year address was also a gesture to China that Pyongyang was trying to reconcile with Seoul. The idea of Nam Jae-joon, South Korea's National Intelligence Service director, that unification will be based on the North's collapse or the argument to actively pursue change in the North to achieve reunification could trigger the North to stage a provocation or an attack.
The execution of Jang Song-thaek confirmed that the fearless young North Korean leader is fully capable of staging an armed provocation against the South if he thinks it is necessary. Some experts say the North's military is now leading its South Korea policy after the purge of Jang's associates, who were known as moderates seeking economic development. If their observations are true, the possibility of an attack by the North is higher than ever.
President Park said the government will provide substantial support to the livestock and agricultural industries in the North, and that could be the starting point of the Korean version of West Germany's "capillary" programs. Such exchanges from below will be the most certain way toward reunification.
When the two Koreans open a path for training and helping North Koreans in the agriculture, livestock and light industries and narrow down the distance between the two Koreas through youth, student and sports exchanges, meaningful reconciliation and cooperative efforts for reunification will build even when bilateral ties are rocky or an actual crisis takes place.
There is no reason for Seoul to hesitate to act more proactively by lifting the May 24 sanctions and resuming tours to Mount Kumgang with the precondition of strong security. Inter-Korean ties always have ebbs and flows. Only after going through the process can we can talk about a jackpot from reunification.

Once upon a time, I gave a good friend some plants for her birthday. She had always commented on how much she liked my plants and I thought it would be nice to give her some of her own. She was so excited when she saw them and I felt like an awesome friend. Then, a few months later, my friend, with a hint of guilt and shame, admitted that the plants were not doing well. Some of them had even died. She felt bad and then I felt bad that my gift made her feel bad. We were a couple of bad-feeling friends.
And then it happened again. With a different friend.
It took me a few years to realize that all my friends have Black Thumbs!
Not really. It's just that most of us have very little experience with houseplants.
Maybe you got a plant as a housewarming gift and, unsure about how to care for it, it sadly "failed to thrive." It sat there, on your kitchen counter and judged you as it shriveled up and died. You decided that you must not have a Green Thumb.
I'm here to tell you that isn't true!
After all, many of us can keep tiny little humans alive for years and years! Surely we can keep some plants alive!
I'm on a mission to help women see that it just takes a little bit of tweaking and your home can be filled with beautiful, air-purifying plants.
Now, when I give plants* to my friends, I give them my top tips about how to care for them. And it's made all the difference.
Tip #1: Light is more important than you might think.
For those of you who have tried (really tried!) keeping plants alive and just can't seem to make it work, I can almost guarantee that your plants aren't getting enough light.
My number one rule when bringing new plants into my home is that I must have a place to put them where they get enough light. In fact, and this is probably a bit extreme, I decorate and place furniture in each room primarily with plants in mind. I don't put a plant on a table because it looks nice there. I put the table near a window with good light and then put a plant on it. If your plants are an afterthought, they won't get enough light and they are doomed to fail.
Here's the way I think about houseplants: in order to live inside our homes where the temperature stays around 70 degrees year round, houseplants basically need to be tropical. This means they are going to like bright light and humid air. There are exceptions, of course, but the majority of houseplants need more light than we are giving them.
So, how do you know where to put your plants? Is it the north-facing window? Or maybe the west facing? What if I don't even know which windows in my house face north?!
Here's my suggestion- close your eyes right now and imagine that you need to tweeze your eyebrows at 10am but the power has gone off. You can take your tweezers and mirror with you into any room and face any direction. (Maybe you should actually do this as an experiment! I know my eyebrows need some attention...) What rooms give you the best natural light for your eyebrows? Where is the best place to stand in those rooms?
Now, are any of those spots places where a plant could go? What about an area close to those spots? If you can find the light in your home, and locate your plants in those spaces, I bet you will have much happier plants. And you'll be well on your way to a Green Thumb!
Tip #2: The type of plant matters a lot. A whole lot.
I did not know this particular tip for a long time. Instead of buying plants that were "easy" to tend to, I bought plants that looked pretty in the store. Those cute little miniature rosebushes are adorable, but they are not easy to grow inside. And do not get me started on miniature orchids.
The best plants to start with, in my opinion, are philodendren and spider plants. They are very forgiving with respect to both light and moisture. And, as a bonus, they are fantastic plants for propagation. That means you can trim pieces from the main plant and stick in them in a vase of water. After a few weeks, they will grow roots and you can plant those as new plants. There is nothing that says "I have a Green Thumb" like making new houseplants from an existing one.
Tip #3: The pot matters a lot, too.
The pot holds the soil which means it holds the moisture. A small terra cotta pot is going to allow the dirt to dry out much more quickly than a larger glazed or plastic pot. There are some plants for which a terra cotta pot is exactly the right choice, but for philodendren or spider plants and other plants that need moist soil, I would opt for a nonporous material.
The size of the pot matters, too. If you aren't sure, I suggest buying a pot that is at least 1-2 sizes bigger than the one the plant came in. You will need to add a bit of potting soil to the plant, but that will only help the plant thrive.
So, how much do you water? Well, it all depends, right?! How big is the pot and how big is the plant? Thankfully, for our philodedren and spider plants, they like moist soil but they can also survive if you forget them and the soil dries out. They may start to wilt but after a good watering, they will perk right up.
I always tell my plant-phobic friends to buy a pot with a drainage hole. That way, when you water once a week, you can water until the plant starts to "pee" out the bottom, letting you know that the soil is nice and saturated. The drainage hole means that even if you overwater the plant, the extra water won't sit in the bottom, potentially causing issues with the roots rotting.
One more note about watering- if you overwater consistently and your plant is near a window, you may get some little gnats near your plants. This means that the top of the soil is too moist and the gnats are laying eggs there. Just let the plant dry out a bit (maybe skip a week of watering) or put it outside for a day or two. The gnats will go away and you'll know to cut back on the amount of watering.
This sounds counterintuitive I know, but I've found it to be true for me and for many of my friends. If you only have one lonely little philodendren plant sitting up high on a bookshelf, you are likely to forget about it. But, if you have 5 or 6 plants clustered together in a prominent place that you walk by everyday, you are much less likely to neglect them.
So instead of buying that miniature rosebush on impulse at Whole Foods, and then after it slowly dies concluding that you have a Black Thumb, try buying several philodendren and spider plants. Then put them in a spot that gets some nice eyebrow-tweezing light, water them once a week in a plastic pot that has a drainage hole, and watch them thrive!
What having a Green Thumb really comes down to, is paying attention. Remember, if you can keep children alive, you can do this!
* I'm making a distinction here between houseplants and succulents. The tips in this article are not all applicable to succulents but they are great for the more tropical houseplants like philodendren and spider plants.

Thinkbox set out out to demonstrate how advertisers can use advanced data science to provide a comprehensive view of the true business role advertising plays in the short and long term. It wanted to show how advertising should be seen as an investment that can be risk assessed alongside other capital investment opportunities.
'Profit Ability' was commissioned by Thinkbox from Ebiquity and Gain Theory. Using their pre-existing databanks of client-funded data, the study analysed over 2,000 advertising campaigns across 11 categories. This data provided a view of the average case.
Using this dataset, benchmarks were formed for media channel performance by category, in terms of efficiency and volume of effects across both the short and the longer term. Efficiency ranges were also used to help risk assess channel performance - a crucial measure for the boardroom with advertising competing for business investment. With its focus on volume and scalability, the study has shifted emphasis away from ROI efficiency and given advertisers benchmarks so they know what they can expect from their advertising investments.
With TV delivering 71% of the total profit generated by advertising, at the greatest efficiency and for the least risk, the study helped cement TV's position within marketing effectiveness.

Dabbling in the Extreme
In 2017, MICA's Jay Gould became the first artist-in-resident to participate in the HEMI/MICA Extreme Arts Program. The program aims to create a community of artists and scientists with shared curiosity and interests in exploration.
a hub of innovation,	art + science,	hemi
Johns Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI) dabbles in the extreme. Established in 2012, HEMI researches how materials and structures react under extreme conditions, and uses their research to develop science and technology that protects people and the planet. They fracture and image meteorite samples to prepare for an actual multinational asteroid redirection mission. Others look at brain impact to learn how to protect from concussions, or study the biomechanics of optic nerve damage.
In the words of Professor K.T. Ramesh, Director of HEMI,
"We take apart the very first instants of destruction and use them to make the world a safer place."
The HEMI/MICA program provides a framework that serves as a model for sustained, long-term partnership between JHU and MICA.
"It is not difficult to see how science and art curriculums come together. The difficulty is forging them together at the institutional level – merging educational missions can be tough," Gould said. "The HEMI/MICA program tackles those institutional challenges head-on, and provides a platform for engineers, scientists, artists, and designers to discuss concepts and develop a common understanding."

Brazil: Is Democracy Under Threat?
By Marcio Cunha Filho*

Brazil's ongoing political turmoil hit a new peak last weekend – resulting in former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's decision to turn himself in to be imprisoned – and strongly suggests that the country's democracy is in deeper trouble than previously thought. Lula said he was a victim of political persecution by both prosecutors and the courts, including the six Supreme Court justices who ruled that he not be allowed the courtesy of remaining free during his appeals to Brazil's higher courts on his conviction on corruption charges.
Lula's Worker's Party (PT) claims that the decision is part of a campaign against leftwing forces that has intensified since Dilma Rousseff's impeachment in August 2016. Supporters say that Lula's imprisonment at a time that he is leading in presidential polls is the culmination of a strategy aimed at making sure that the PT – the only party to have won the presidency in elections since 2002 – remains out of power. Most mainstream media and some rightwing lawyers have argued that Lula's arrest obeyed all legal procedures, but PT supporters are not alone in their allegation of impropriety. José Afonso da Silva, one of the most prominent non-partisan constitutional law professors in Brazil, has written a legal opinion against Lula's imprisonment. Other experts claim that Lula's imprisonment order was strangely rushed (jurist Celso Antônio Bandeira de Mello), while others have expressly criticized the Supreme Court for denying Lula Habeas Corpus (Prof. José Geraldo da Silva Júnior).
While proof remains elusive, strong circumstantial evidence of conspiracy persists. The lawsuit against Lula was tried much more rapidly by Judge Sérgio Moro than most cases, and the guilty verdict was reaffirmed by the regional court just in time to keep Lula out of the presidential election scheduled for October 7. Moreover, the accusations against Lula are fragile: Moro argues that the former president received a $1 million remodeled beach apartment as a bribe from a construction company in exchange for political favors, but there is no evidence that the apartment was Lula's or that he used it in any way. Neither is there evidence that the construction firm received any favors.
Other indications that Brazil is experiencing an "open season" against the left are emerging. Civil society leaders have reported repressive practices against them, including violent protests at their public events.
The assassination of a Rio de Janeiro municipal legislator is widely thought to have been carried out by rightwing elements. At a recent political rally, unidentified gunmen shot at Lula's vehicle. A wealthy São Paulo night club owner is offering a reward for anyone willing to murder Lula in prison. Radical and angry political movements such as Movimento Brasil Livre are gaining strength by angrily advocating and celebrating through social media the imprisonment of political opponents. Congressman Jair Bolsonaro, a former military officer who praises the military dictatorship, has become the new frontrunner in the presidential race.
Another troubling sign was a tweet from the Armed Forces – issued the day before the Supreme Court's judgment against Lula – that it will not tolerate impunity. It has been widely interpreted as the most direct threat to the Court since the end of military dictatorship.
Freedom of expression and academic freedom are under pressure as well, according to many observers. Local, state, and federal legislators are trying to ban the teaching of gender issues in public schools, claiming gender issues are a leftwing ideology should not be taught to young children. At the university level, in Rio Grande do Sul a local congressman filed a complaint to the Public Prosecutor's Office asking that a course entitled "The 2016 Coup d'état" – referring to the removal of Dilma Rousseff and inauguration of President Michel Temer – be disallowed.
Democracies rarely die as a result of the acts by one or even a small group of political leaders, but rather as the outcome of repressive actors' manipulation of popular confusion and anxiety about the country's direction. Lula may not have been perfect – he was not – but he deserved fair treatment by the government and fair enforcement of the law. Democracies cannot endure when one group or another uses government institutions, even with significant popular support, to impose its views on others, often violently. We should not forget that, in its early stages, the military coup in Brazil was supported by the media (at least by the biggest TV network in the country, Rede Globo), by civil society institutions (such as the Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil), as well as by much of the political leadership. Radicalization, inability to dialogue, and unwillingness to make political compromises are the factors that made Brazil descend in 1964 into two decades of repression. We might now be slipping down this same path, and witnessing the rebirth of institutionalized and popularly-supported repression and intolerance.

You are here: Home Ministries Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations News Cabinet takes firmer action against drug use in traffic
Cabinet takes firmer action against drug use in traffic
Drug use by road users can be traced more quickly. In future, police officers can oblige motorists, motorcyclists and moped riders to cooperate in taking saliva with a so-called saliva tester, a fairly simple method to determine if someone has used drugs. This improves the fight against drug use in traffic. The Council of Ministers has agreed to this on the recommendation of Minister of Security and Justice Opstelten and Minister of Infrastructure and the Environment Schultz van Haegen.
Driving under the influence of drugs will become a punishable offence. A list of frequently used drugs specifies the limit values above which drug use poses a threat to traffic. For instance, the measurable substance amphetamine and cocaine in the blood of the driver may not exceed 50 micrograms per litre of blood. In the case of cannabis use the limit value for the measurable substance tetrahydrocannabinol has been set at 3.0 micrograms per litre of blood.
It is perfectly clear which drugs negatively influence the ability to drive and above which values the use of these substances is punishable. This means that for these drugs it will no longer be necessary to prove that the driver of the motor vehicle was under the influence of the used drug to such an extent that he was incapable of driving. If a blood test shows that the measurable substance content of the driver's blood exceeds the limit value specified, this constitutes proof that the driver has committed an offence to be punished, for instance, by imposing a fine or a temporary driving disqualification. The new regulation is required to further improve traffic safety. Research has shown that drug use negatively influences driving behaviour, increasing the risk of accidents.
The saliva tester is a pre-selection device. Because it doesn't specify how much the driver has used of which drug, the analysis of the blood sample taken will continue to serve as proof. Saliva testing is comparable to the preliminary analysis of exhaled air in an alcohol test. If the saliva test is positive, the driver is brought in as a suspect for blood testing by the NFI. If the saliva tester has not shown the use of drugs, but there is a strong suspicion that the driver has used, the police may also have the driver cooperate in a test examining his psychomotor, eyesight and speech functions. This is because the saliva tester cannot detect the use of all drugs. In that case the police checks the driver's speed of response, his sense of balance or the reflex of his pupils to light.
The Council of Ministers has agreed to send the legislative proposal to the Council of State for its opinion. The text of the legislative proposal and the advice of the Council of State will be made public on submission to the Lower House.

In 1973, when Spire became supervision of music, excellent programs that Dr. Robert Rowe had started in the 1940s were long gone; music education had taken the brunt of budget cuts as enrollments exploded in the 60s.
By the time Spire retired in 1990, music was flourishing in the schools and Ridgefield students were performing both here and across Europe.
"My master plan is to see that every child, K through 12, is touched by culture," he once said. Charles A. Spire was born in 1929 in Gowanda, N.Y., where, during the Depression, music was one of the few diversions and outdoor band concerts were regular community events. "I saw what music did for the small town where I grew up," he said.
As a boy he performed on any instrument he was given with any group he could. He studied music at Boston University, and with the likes of Arthur Fiedler and Paul Hindemith.
He made his concert piano debut with the Boston Pops and also performed at Tanglewood with the Boston Symphony.
But after serving as an Army major during the Korean War, Spire decided he wanted to work with children. He taught music in New York state from 1955 until coming to Ridgebury School as a music teacher in 1967. In 1971, he established the Ridgefield Youth Orchestra, which became so proficient it was invited to give concert tours in Europe in 1979, 1984, 1989 and 1991.
Recalling the performances he'd heard or been a part of as a small-town child, Spire staged 73 concerts in Ballard Park between 1973 and 1990, showcasing hundreds of student musicians.
A member of the board of Opera New England, he brought opera stars to the schools and took many students to Lincoln Center for great performances. In 1975, he began spring Broadway musicals at the high school.
A year later, he staged a huge, all-day school Art and Music Festival in Ballard Park to celebrate the Bicentennial. More than 2,000 students — from kindergarten through high school — performed. "Youngsters were dipping candles, weaving baskets, working leather, and compounding medicines, much like Ridgefielders two hundred years earlier," wrote Lois Street in a 1990 Ridgefield Press profile of Spire.
For his accomplishments, Spire was named Kiwanis Citizen of the Year in 1976 and Rotary Citizen of the Year in 1993. A longtime member, he had twice served as president of Rotary.
In his spare time, he wrote for Symphony Magazine and served on the board of the Charles Ives Center in Danbury. He lived for many years on Cherry Lane where he maintained a water garden in a pond on his property. He eventually moved to Florida where he died in 2011 at the age of 82.
On his retirement in 1990, Spire reflected on the countless students he had taught and led over the years.
When he retired, he received a letter complimenting him for inspiring students "to strive for excellence in all things so that, in working hard and displaying individual initiative, they will know they can make a difference in the world." The letter was signed by President George H.W. Bush.
Spire hoped that in retirement he would be able to find time to return to composing. One of his plans was to take a march he once sold to MGM and rewrite it for orchestra. MGM used the march as the theme in the movie, "The Great Escape," starring Steve McQueen.
When he sold the piece, Spire had not expected the film to become a classic.
"Boy, I wish I'd kept the rights," he said with a grin.
