Cómo llegar Rio Adda
História Paisaje Estructura urbana Arquitectura Protagonistas
"Todo se inició cuando dos capitanes de la industria, Cristoforo Crespi y su hijo Silvio, quisieron fundar al borde del río Adda un pueblo obrero ideal, un feudo pequeño donde el castillo del patrón fuese un símbolo de la autoridad y del bien para los trabajadores y sus familias."
El pueblo de Crespi d'Adda es sin duda alguna el testimonio italiano más importante del fenómeno de los pueblos obreros: Ha constituido una de las realizaciones más completas y originales del mundo y se ha conservado perfectamente en su totalidad - manteniendo intacto su aspecto urbano y arquitectónico.
Crespi d'Adda, es el modelo auténtico de ciudad ideal, un interesante y casi perfecto microcosmo autosuficiente, donde la vida de los empleados junto a la de sus familiares y a la de la comunidad entera, giraba alrededor de la fábrica en un ambiente ideal de orden y armonía. Una ciudad-jardín a medida del hombre, al confín entre el mundo rural y el mundo industrial.
Crespi d'Adda: ¿Realidad o metáfora? Sea lo que fuese, ha constituido un símbolo importante del progreso industrial, tanto en la vida como en lo social, cuyas soluciones representan un modelo de referencia precioso incluso en nuestros días.
La fábrica y el pueblo se realizaron entre los ochocientos y los novecientos por la familia Crespi, industriales del algodón, cuando en Italia estaba naciendo la industria moderna.
Era la época de los grandes e iluminados capitanes de la industria, al mismo tiempo patrones y filántropos, inspirados en una doctrina social que les veía ocupados en tutelar la vida de los propios trabajadores dentro y fuera de la fábrica, colmando los retrasos de la legislación social en el mismo estado.
La idea era dar a todos los empleados una villa con jardín y huerto, todos los servicios necesarios para una vida en comunidad: iglesia, escuela, hospital, centro social ,teatro, baños públicos.. Este experimento paternalista creado en el 1878 al borde del río Adda, tuvo su culminación a finales de los años veinte, con la salida de sus protagonistas y las mutaciones del siglo XX.
Hoy una gran parte de la comunidad que acoge el pueblo de Crespi, es descendiente de los obreros que han vivido o trabajado en ella, la misma fábrica que ha estado en funcionamiento hasta el 2003, siempre en el sector textil.
«The environment that surrounds Crespi d'Adda is unique: the village is situated in a cradle, a triangle shaped lowland, which is delimited by the intersection of two rivers to the South and by a difference in level of the ground to the North, called "Fossato Bergamasco".»
«The two rivers are: the Adda and the Brembo, and they form a peninsula called "Isola Bergamasca" (the village is located at the very end of the peninsula). The "Fossato Bergamasco" represented in former times the border between the Duchy of Milan and the Republic of Venice.»
Estructura urbana
«The urban layout of the village is extraordinary. The factory is situated along the river, next to the castle of the Crespi family.»
«The workers' houses, of English inspiration, are lined up in order along parallel roads to the East of the factory, and to the South there is a group of enchanting villas for clerks and directors. The houses of the physician and the priest overlook the village from a hill, while the church and the school are placed side by side facing the factory.»
«The presence and the importance of the factory are emphasised by its high chimneys and its sheds that are repeated in a fascinating perspective along the main street. The street itself is also a metaphor of workers' life and it runs between the factory and the village, arriving finally at the cemetery.»
«In Crespi d'Adda there's a wide range of styles, varying from classicismo to romanticismo.»
«The castle is a reproduction of the medieval style, while the church is the exact copy of the church of S.Maria, of renaissance style, in Busto Arsizio, where the Crespi family was born. All the other constructions are of neo-medieval style, decorated with precious brick ornaments - typical of romanticismo lombardo - and wrought iron finishes. The factory itself is neo-medieval the highest celebration of the industry is expressed by the main entrance, with its magnificent office direction buildings.»
«The cemetery, of exotic taste and eclectic style, is a national monument and it is characterised by the Crespi chapel - a decorated tower-pyramid made of ceppo and cement, which rises to embrace the workers' graves: small crosses disposed in order in the meadow.»
CRISTOFORO BENIGNO CRESPI
«Born in 1833, he was the first son of Antonio Crespi, descending from a family of textile producers from Busto Arsizio. Originally he helped his father with the trading of dyed fabrics, but then founded with his family the cotton mills of Vaprio, Vigevano e Ghemme. In 1878 he founded the factory in Crespi d'Adda, introducing the most modern spinning, weaving and finishing processes.»
«In 1884 he moved to Milan, in his house in Borgonuovo street, where he opened the headquarters of his company. He also kept a vast and widely admired collection of paintings.»
«In 1904 he built the hydro-electric power station of Trezzo sull'Adda ("Taccani"). He was awarded several honours, which included "Cavaliere del Lavoro" and "Commendatore della Corona d'Italia". He died in Milan in 1920.»
SILVIO BENIGNO CRESPI
«Son of Cristoforo, he was born in Milan in 1868. He got his degree in law at the age of 21 and spent some years in England in order to follow the developments of cotton production. In 1889 he started working in his father's factory where he became director.»
«With a tenacious and tireless character, he occupied himself with numerous activities, ranging from industrial to the political and financial sectors. He published and authored a study on preventing the injuries at work. He was the first president of the Cotton Producers association and member of "Consiglio Superiore Industria e Commercio". He was president of Banca Commerciale Italiana and of the Italian Automobile Club.»
«He was deputy and senator for the Catholic Liberals and within the Parliament he promoted industry and commerce, with a special concern for workers conditions. He was appointed Ministry Plenipotentiary at the end of the First World War. He died in Cadorago in 1944.»

The Amateur Angle - Oui Oui Ochoiski!
Fresh from competing at Q-School in England, Brian Ochoiski returned to his native land to win the French National Snooker Championship for the first time in his career.
This year's event was held over the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of June in Ronchin, Northern France. 24 participants took part, but following the Groups stage and the Last 16 Knock-Outs, just eight remained come Sunday.
There were no surprises as the seeds advanced to those Quarter-Finals. Defending champion Neil Vincent (another recent Q-School entry) defeated Jean Christophe-Margontier 3-0 whilst in the same half of the draw French Number 1 Ochoiski eliminated French Number 2 Fabian Monnin by the same scoreline. Elsewhere in the Last 8, Alexis Callewaert saw off Nicolas Mortreux 3-0 and Jean-Marc Beauchamp ousted Adrien Frostin 3-2.
In a repeat of the 2017 final, Ochoiski was able to inflict some revenge on Vincent in this year's Semi-Finals as he dethroned the champion 3-0. Callewaert mirrored that result against Beauchamp in the other tie.
Ochoiski, who finished 46th on the Q-School Order of Merit and has qualified for this season's Challenge Tour by right, managed to get the job done in the final with a 3-1 victory.
This tournament was run by the French Federation of Billiards. The image above is courtesy of Marc Boitard.


text:
Ein Datumsformat ist die Form, in der ein Kalenderdatum schriftlich dargestellt wird. Das Datumsformat legt fest
 in welcher Reihenfolge die Komponenten des Kalenderdatums (das Jahr, der Monat, der Tag) genannt werden
 ob, und wenn ja, welche Trennzeichen zwischen den Komponenten des Kalenderdatums eingefügt werden.

Hintergrund
Zur Darstellung des Datums sind weltweit sehr unterschiedliche Varianten etabliert, die zum Teil untereinander inkompatibel sind.
Das zeigt sich darin, dass dieselbe Angabe in unterschiedlichen Darstellungen für ein unterschiedliches Datum stehen kann.

Zum Beispiel lässt sich die Datumsangabe 01/02/03 interpretieren als:
 1. Februar 2003 (01.02.2003 unter Zugrundelegung der im deutschsprachigen Raum weiterhin gebräuchlichen Reihenfolge nach DIN 1355-1)
 2. Januar 2003 ( 2, 2003 unter Zugrundelegung der Middle-Endian-Reihenfolge des US-Formats)
 3. Februar 2001 (2001-02-03 unter Zugrundelegung der Reihenfolge nach ISO 8601 / DIN 5008)
Die Interpretation einer Datumsangabe dieser Form unterscheidet sich demzufolge von Land zu Land, hängt also vom Kontext ab und ist deshalb ungeeignet für eine weltweit einheitliche und umkehrbar eindeutige Repräsentation.

Verschärft wurde dieser Umstand deutlich durch den Jahrtausendwechsel. Datumsangaben davor ließen sich wesentlich zuverlässiger interpretieren: Die häufig übliche verkürzte Schreibweise des Jahres (also ohne die Hunderter- und Tausender-Stelle) war vor der Jahrtausendwende de facto bedeutungslos, wenn man vom "Verlust" des Jahrhunderts absieht.

 1/02/95 war beinahe weltweit eindeutig 1. Tag / 2. Monat / 95. Jahr
 und kollidierte 'nur' mit dem US-amerikanischen Raum: 1. Monat / 2. Tag / 95. Jahr
An Tagen nach dem 12. jedes Monats war auch diese Doppeldeutigkeit ausgeschlossen, da es (im gregorianischen Kalender) keinen Monat 13 gibt.
 02/15/60 war eindeutig 15. Februar 1960

Bei vollständiger Schreibweise der Jahrzahl erhöht sich auch heute die Eindeutigkeit wesentlich: 2001-02-03 = Jahr 2001, Februar, Tag 3.

Erst seit dem Jahr 2013 ist nun wieder die Verwechslungsgefahr Jahr ↔ Monat gebannt, und erst ab dem Jahr 2032 wird wieder die Eindeutigkeit in der Jahrzahl gegeben sein.

Normung
Folgende im deutschsprachigen Raum geltenden Normen nationaler und internationaler Normierungsorganisationen (ISO-, EN- und DIN-Normen) befassen sich mit dem Datumsformat:
 Internationale Norm ISO 8601:2004-12 Data elements and interchange formats – Information interchange – Representation of dates and times
 Seit September 2006 auch inhaltsgleich übernommen als DIN ISO 8601.
 Deutsche Norm DIN 5008:2020-03 (Abschnitt 11.4) Schreib- und Gestaltungsregeln für die Text- und Informationsverarbeitung

ISO 8601 legt eine Grundstruktur zum Austausch von Datums- und auch Zeitinformationen fest, die ausschließlich aus numerischen Komponenten besteht und auf sprachspezifische Bezeichner (Wörter) verzichtet. Für die Eindeutigkeit numerischer Datumsangaben ist die strikte Einhaltung einer vorgegebenen Form unabdingbar. Wesentliches Merkmal der in ISO 8601 festgelegten Grundstruktur ist die "absteigende" Anordnung in der Form Jahr-Monat-Tag.

 Beispiel Das Kalenderdatum des siebten Tages des ersten Monats im Jahre 2003 (7. Januar 2003) in der Schreibweise nach ISO 8601 lautet:
 2003-01-07

Alphanumerische Datumsangaben, etwa Angaben mit ausgeschriebenem Monatsnamen, sind nicht Gegenstand der ISO 8601. Solche Datumsangaben werden weiterhin in nationalen Normen geregelt, beispielsweise in der DIN 5008. Die dort empfohlene alphanumerische Schreibweise lautet:
 7. Januar 2003

Ob die eine oder die andere Variante verwendet wird, hängt wesentlich vom Umfeld ab, in dem sie angewandt werden soll. In einem multinationalen und vielsprachigen Kontext ist die ISO-konforme Variante zu empfehlen, während in einem einsprachigen Umfeld problemlos eine alphanumerische Variante verwendet werden kann, ohne die Eindeutigkeit oder Verständlichkeit zu beeinträchtigen.

ISO 8601 und EN 28601
In der Norm ISO 8601 aus dem Jahr 1988 wurde versucht, die unterschiedlichen nationalen Datumsformate zu vereinheitlichen. Das Ergebnis war ein Datumsformat mit "absteigender" Anordnung (Jahr-Monat-Tag) mit Kurzstrichen als Trennzeichen, das die bis dahin weithin verbreiteten Datumsformate mit "aufsteigender" Anordnung (Tag-Monat-Jahr) ablösen sollte.

Die ISO 8601 wurde 1992 ohne Änderungen in die EN 28601:1992 übernommen, die laut Geschäftsordnung des CEN/CENELEC für die meisten europäischen Länder verbindlich ist, so auch für Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz.
Im Dezember 2004 löste die neue ISO 8601 diese Normen ab. Außerdem ist die Norm auch in die deutsche Norm DIN 5008 (Schreib- und Gestaltungsregeln für die Textverarbeitung) eingeflossen.

Die neue Reihenfolge war als logische Angleichung an die üblicherweise ebenfalls "absteigende" Anordnung in unseren Zeitangaben (Stunde-Minute-Sekunde) gedacht. Neben der internationalen Vereinheitlichung des numerischen Formats und der Unabhängigkeit von einer Sprache erleichtert die "absteigende" Anordnung die korrekte Sortierung bei lexikographischen Anwendungen und in der EDV. Dadurch vereinfacht die "absteigende" Anordnung die Suche nach Einträgen oder Dateien eines bestimmten Datums. Weitere Vorteile sind:
 die durch das "absteigende" Format verbesserte Möglichkeit, die komplette Datumsangabe für Zwecke der Ablage und Klassifikation als normale, lange Dezimalzahl zu behandeln (höchste Stelle links, niedrigste Stelle rechts);
 die (bei jedem numerischen Format gegebene) Möglichkeit, arithmetische Berechnungen in Computeranwendungen durchzuführen;
 die durch das "absteigende" Format verbesserte Möglichkeit der logischen Fortsetzung der Reihenfolge durch Hinzufügung der Ziffern für Stunde, Minute und Sekunde.

Als Nachteil des ISO-8601-Standards lässt sich anführen, dass die "absteigende" Anordnung (Jahr-Monat-Tag) den bis dahin verbreiteten Gepflogenheiten in vielen europäischen Sprachen widerspricht (mit Ausnahme von z. B. Ungarn, Slowenien). Außer in Deutschland ist zum Beispiel auch im Französischen, Niederländischen, Italienischen, Spanischen, Polnischen, Tschechischen, Schwedischen, Dänischen und Türkischen die "aufsteigende" Anordnung (Tag-Monat-Jahr) üblich.
Deshalb ist das neue Datumsformat mit seiner "absteigenden" Anordnung für den Anwender gewöhnungsbedürftig und hat sich bisher in der Praxis wenig durchgesetzt.

DIN 5008
Die deutsche Norm DIN 5008 definiert Schreib- und Gestaltungsregeln für die Text- und Informationsverarbeitung, zu denen auch die Richtlinien für das Datumsformat gehören. Für numerische Datumsangaben findet zusätzlich die auch für Deutschland gültige EN 28601 von 1992 Anwendung.

In der Ausgabe von 1996 wurde (über die EN 28601) das "neue", aus der ISO 8601 abgeleitete Format als einzig korrekte numerische Datumsschreibweise übernommen. Zulässig war daneben nur noch die "alphanumerische Schreibung" mit dem ausgeschriebenen Monatsnamen und ohne vorangestellte "0" bei einstelliger Tagesanzahl.

Das neue Datumsformat nach ISO-Norm (Jahr-Monat-Tag) kollidierte jedoch mit den tatsächlichen Schreibgewohnheiten und konnte sich in den Jahren von 1996 bis 2000 nicht durchsetzen. Ähnlich wie in den meisten anderen europäischen Ländern wurde die Norm auch in Deutschland und Österreich weitgehend ignoriert, wo allgemein weiterhin das gewohnte Format TT.MM.[JJ]JJ in Gebrauch blieb. In der Ausgabe von 2001 der DIN 5008 wurde daraufhin eine Anmerkung eingefügt, wonach das gewohnte Format wieder zulässig sein sollte, . Seit der Ausgabe von 2011 soll die Jahreszahl ausschließlich vierstellig angegeben werden. Die 2020 erschienene Fassung der DIN 5008 sieht das Datum im Format TT.MM.JJJJ nur noch bei Schreiben an inländische Empfänger vor.

Zeitrechnungsangaben "v. Chr." und "n. Chr."
Die früher in Deutschland, Österreich und in der Schweiz geltende und heute noch weitgehend angewandte Norm DIN 1355-1 (siehe DIN-Taschenbuch 102 von 1989) sah die Angabe v. Chr. und n. Chr. vor, um Jahresangaben vor und nach Beginn der christlichen Zeitrechnung zu differenzieren. In der Europäischen Norm EN 28601 von 1992 wird dagegen auf eine Datierung vor oder nach Christus nicht mehr eingegangen. In der Version aus dem Jahre 2000 sieht die ISO 8601 vielmehr sogar ein Jahr Null und Jahresangaben mit negativem Vorzeichen vor, wobei, abweichend vom allgemein üblichen Gebrauch, auch für die Zeit vor der Einführung des Gregorianischen Kalenders rückwirkend dessen Schaltverfahren angewandt werden soll.

Fate propelled Padmini Mirchandani into the family business, but drive keeps her there. With her at the helm as executive director and publisher, India Book House has not only been able to propel its coffee-tablers on Indias cultural heritage into the UK and United States markets, but is also redesigning the Amar Chitra Katha series for the mainstream book trade there. She chats with Madhumita Chakraborty on the ubiquitous Woman factor in an industry in full bloom.
Padmini: It might be because the essentials required to make a success of publishing are akin to a womans intrinsic nature a strong sense of aesthetics, patience, persistence and staying power (to see a project through). Also, I realised a long time agothe willingness to remain anonymous and work behind the scenes. It is always the author that is in the forefront.
Padmini: Theres no point just producing a bookyou have to sell it!! In our case, of course, weve been lucky to find our titles slipping into the market quite easily, as IBH is primarily a distribution company, and the books we publish get into the distribution stream by default.
Padmini: The fact that Im a woman has never been significant in my professional life. Ive just ploughed on doing my thing. As it happens, my managing editor, project manager, copy editors, all happen to be womendynamic, and productive!
Padmini: If there is growth in Indian publishing it is, like everything else, a result of globalisation. Certainly the opening up of more retail bookstoresespecially the megastoreshave supported this boom. And globally, Indian writing is securing its place of prominence as are all things Indian.

Fewer Cats Culled, But More Abused By Kids
By Contributor April 7, 2011 September 25, 2018
The Cat Welfare Society hopes to raise awareness of animal abuse and abandonment in Singapore.
Contributed By Wayne Chan
The two-month-old kitten, Oryon, was found in a carpark with most of its left hind leg severed.
Singapore's Cat Welfare Society said 8,000 cats were culled here in 2009, a more than 20 percent drop from the 10,000 to 12,000 that were culled annually in previous years. The official figure for 2010 has yet to be released by authorities.
President of the society, Fareena Omar, said the problem of impulsive buying needs to stop for the numbers to go down further.
"A pet is a lifelong commitment, not just for Christmas holidays or for New Year," she said.
She was speaking on the sidelines of an adoption drive the CWS was organizing in collaboration with global pet food company, Hill's Pet Nutrition, in Pasir Ris last Saturday.
"Buying is not the solution," she said. "Once the buying stops, the problem of unethical breeding will also be reduced."
Unethical breeding happens when pet breeders cause suffering to the animals, for example, keeping them in poor, overcrowded conditions or ill-treating the parents of the new-borns.
The CWS promotes the adoption of cats, but if one must buy, Omar said future pet owners should at least ask to see where the shop gets its stock from. "You'll know something is wrong if the breeder is unable to be transparent with you," she said
Another cause for concern was irresponsible cat feeding. "Cat feeders should clean up after feeding stray or community cats," she said. "Residents often feed these cats leftover food and that attracts pests, which makes people complain."
The CWS, which advocates tolerance of community cats, gets about 30 calls a month by town councils to help mediate and manage these complaints.
"Some people just don't like cats in their neighborhood," said Omar.
To help manage the stray cat population here in a humane way, the CWS offers subsidies of S$20 for every cat that its over 400 members bring for sterilization. Last year, 3,129 were sterilized under its stray cat sterilization program, 20 percent more than in 2009. The CWS aims to sterilize 4,000 cats this year.
A few of its more active members claim up to S$1,500 a month through the program, which works out to 900 cats sterilized a year each for these extra committed community cat caregivers.
It is also trying to get the Stray Cat Rehabilitation Scheme, a sterilization program by the authorities terminated in 2003, reinstated.
MORE TO BE DONE
But more needs to be done, as many cats are still abandoned or abused.
One of the most recent cases of this was a family in Tampines which hoarded more than 30 cats in their four-room flat. The CWS was tipped off after a member of the public spotted the family's younger son abandoning a cat.
CWS found the rest of the cats in a bad condition and underfed during its rescue operation.
Cats are not allowed to be kept in HDB flats, and the family had shut their windows and doors for five years after neighbors complained about them to the authorities.
Some abused cats are rescued and put up for adoption on the society's website.
Omar said about 20 to 50 cats are put up for adoption each week by the public through this platform, but only one out of two gets adopted. The society also holds about six adoption drives each year to help find homes for these cats. It would like to do more, but needs sponsors like Hill's, which was giving away a month's worth of free cat food to those who adopted the cats at the two-day drive which ended Sunday, March 27.
The Cat Welfare Society says pet abandonment is still a big issue and abuse by children is on the rise. PHOTOS: Daphne Tan
Only five people showed interest in adopting some of the 12 cats at the drive. One of those getting a new home was one-year-old Merbie, a marble tabby adopted by 25-year-old April Zara Chua.
Other cats, like two-month-old ginger-white Oryon, are still looking for a home. Oryon was found next to a motorcycle in Eunos with one of its hind legs severed. Omar said the cause of the kitten's missing leg is unknown, but she is not ruling out animal abuse.
She said the problem of animal abuse by children and teenagers between the ages of nine and 19 was on the rise. Members of the public had reported cases where secondary school kids had bashed a cat to death, and even children cutting off the tail of a neighborhood cat.
With the rise of the Internet and social media, more of these cases are now reported on Facebook, blogs and citizen journalism sites. "People need to understand that animals are also sentient beings," she said. "They feel pain, hunger, sadness and loneliness."
"Education starts from the home, parents can't wait till SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) comes to their children's schools to give talks," she added.
According to the Agri-food and Veterinary Authority (AVA), animal abusers can be fined up to S$10,000 or jailed up to 12 months, or both, if convicted.

April Zara Chua, 25, went home with a newly adopted one-year old marble tabby named Merbie. Chua already has a seven-year-old cat, Missy, also an adopted stray, and wanted to find a companion for it.
But it may take a while for the two cats to get acquainted as cats are territorial creatures and do not like change.
Chua recounted the story of how Missy got upset when it was placed for two weeks in a pet hotel while she went on holiday. When she returned, she found Missy was significantly thinner.
"Missy is not an expressive cat, but when I came back, she was meowing at me and snuggling up to me as if she missed me badly," she said.
So for now, Chua will keep Merbie in a separate room, till she is sure Missy has "accepted" the new cat. She said she will know this has happened when the two cats snuggle up to each other and no longer display hostile behavior such as hissing.
Meanwhile, she will rub Merbie's scent onto household items using a sock, to "introduce" Missy to the new cat.


Hair loss can come from a number of factors. A lot of people think of Alopecia & over processed hair, but that's not always the case. People began to use all these balms & essential oils to try & solve the hair loss problem. That's not a bad thing, but if the cause is internally, then the ointments are not really solving the initial problem. If you are experiencing hair loss & the ointments & protein treatments are not working, you may want to see a doctor to check for any vitamin deficiencies or health problems.
If the body experiences high levels of stress or lack of the right nutrition it will trigger survival mode. This means it will save nutrients for vital organs (heart, lungs, liver, etc.) instead of, using it for the hair, nail, & skin. This leaves the hair malnourished. This can cause the follicles to die causing hair loss.
Even if you think your eating habits are great, recheck it, because you may be lacking just a few vitamins.According to the World Health Organization, as much as 80 percent of the world's population may have an iron deficiency. Lack of iron effects a lot of women, especially in child bearing age. It is called iron deficiency Anemia. Research shows that "If you do not have enough iron, your body makes fewer and smaller red blood cells . Then your body has less hemoglobin, and you cannot get enough oxygen." As we all know oxygen is important life.


Today I'm going to share with you the third card from the March Make and Take. Yes, I'm still trying to catch up on my posting. I promise, one of these days I will. But first I would like to thank all of you who have left kind comments for me and have shown appreciation for the detailed instructions I typically give on my projects. For a while I was wondering if anyone was actually reading them or if anyone really wanted the detailed step-by-step instructions. So, thank you for letting my know that you like what I do!
Now on to the card. This card was cased from Selene Kempton's card that you can find HERE. Here is the card!
The card base is Pear Pizzaz cardstock cut at 5 ½" x 8 ½" and scored at 4 ¼". The card front was run through the Big Shot in the Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Folder. A piece of Whisper White cardstock was cut at 2 5/8" x 2 7/8". The flowering branch from Easter Blossoms was stamped in Black Stazon ink onto the Whisper White cardstock. Stampin' Sponges were used to sponge Pear Pizzaz ink around the outside of the cardstock and Bashful Blue ink in the center of the cardstock.
The branch and flowers were colored in with the Crumb Cake and Blush Blossom markers. The centers of the flowers were colored with the White Gel Pen. This piece of cardstock was adhered to the top of a 3" x 4 ¼" piece of Whisper White cardstock. A piece of Springtime DSP was cut at 1 ½" x 2 7/8" and was adhered directly under the stamped and sponged cardstock. A piece of Whisper White Organza ribbon was wrapped around the center of the panel and tied into a knot. This image panel was adhered to the card front inside the framed tulips texture.
The greeting was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock in Basic Black ink and then was punched out with the 1 ¾" x 7/8" Oval Punch. The edges of the greeting oval were sponged with Pear Pizzaz ink and was adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
That's it! It really is easy to do. My guests weren't so sure but boy were they pleased when they had a beautiful finished card to take home that they made. This one really is an easy wow card!

Migraine With Aura Pegs Risk For All Stroke Types In Women
Women Migraineurs Experiencing Aura Are At An Increased Risk Of Suffering All Stroke Types (1)
A research that studied 28,000 women has found that such women as those who experience migraines with aura – either visual or sensational and non-visual are at a significantly increased risk of suffering from all types of strokes (ischemic or hemorrhagic ) as those compared to women who do not experience migraines. The findings of the study are to be presented at the International Headache Congress 2013 at Boston. (2)
Ischemic strokes occur when there is a blockage causing reduced blood supply to any part of the brain leading to brain cell and tissue death. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when an artery in the brain ruptures and causes bleeding in the brain.
Visual aura in migraineurs is a neurological phenomenon typified by visual aberrations or distortions such as perceiving an image as partly broken or with zigzag lines, experiencing blind spots, having a vision festered with sparks or flashing and shimmering lights, inability to gauge distance or margin between two objects. It could involve seeing of wavy lines and experiencing hallucinations. (3)
Aura a migraineur may suffer from may be non-visual in nature such as experiencing vertigo, numbness of tongue, feeling pins and needles on the palms and face or even experiencing of motor debility.
According to Dr. Tobias Kurth, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston , "Migraine with aura has been consistently linked with increased risk of ischemic stroke and there is also some evidence that it increases risk of hemorrhagic stroke. In this study we sought to determine the importance of migraine with aura in stroke occurrence relative to other stroke risk factors" (4)
The following observations were made during the study:
Migraineurs With Aura
Cardiovascular Patients
Base Year or Year 0 1435 0
Year 15 1435 528 strokes:
430 Ischemic
96 Hemorrhagic
02 Unknown strokes
It was concluded in the news release that for total, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, migraine with aura was a strong relative contributor.
Caution: The data and conclusions of research presented at medical meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Biological Roots of Migraine Identified In Large Scale Genome Study
12 genetic regions have been identified with migraine susceptibility (1)
How does a migraineur look to you when not experiencing a migraine attack? I suspect you would say, 'I had no idea ABC suffered migraines at all' or 's/he looks fit and fine to me'. Correct. Both times…and that is what makes migraine as a neurological disorder very hard to study by researchers. The underlying pathologies and biomarkers are just not present during a non-episode.
To work around this problem, a team of international researchers at Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute worked on 29 different genomic studies, including over 100,000 samples from both migraine patients and control samples – the best way we think to study neurological disorders like migraines and epilepsy and understand it's biology.
12 regions of migraine susceptibility were identified out of which:
8 regions were found in/ near genes known to play a role in controlling brain circuitries;
2 regions were associated with genes that are responsible for maintaining healthy brain tissue;
Some regions of susceptibility lay close to a network of genes sensitive to oxidative stress, a biochemical process that results in the dysfunction of cells.
According to Dr Gisela Terwindt, co-author from Leiden University Medical Centre, "This large scale method of studying over 100,000 samples of healthy and affected people means we can tease out the genes that are important suspects and follow them up in the lab." (2)
Besides this, the team also identified an additional 134 genetic regions potentially related to migraine susceptibility though statistical evidence backing it were not very strong. However, there have been other studies that exhibit that these statistically weaker culprits can play an equal part in the underlying biology of a disease or
As per Dr Mark Daly, from the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, "Effective studies that give us biological or biochemical results and insights are essential if we are to fully get to grips with this debilitating condition. Pursuing these studies in even larger samples and with denser maps of biological markers will increase our power to determine the roots and triggers of this disabling disorder." (3)

No Sign Of Early Mental Deterioration In Migraineurs: Study
No Mental Deterioration In Elder Migraineurs Due To Repeated Episodes (1)
Neurological research for some time has shown that migraineurs are at an increased risk of developing vascular lesions in the brain and exhibit frequent changes in their cerebral white matter.
A recent study conducted by the University Hospital Graz, Austria took a look at the possibility that such striking change that occur in the migraineurs' cerebral white matter was indeed going to lead to an earlier age-expected mental deterioration, at least for a significant percentage of the migraining population thus causing them compromising lifestyles and depending on care.
White matter makes up for a majority of brain mass in humans. It is a network of axons sheathed in white fat that renders conductivity of neural and electrical pulses. White matter is believed to be crucial for how the brain functions, for successful learning and for social behaviour.
The study took into its fold some 639 elderly with the average age of 74 years who had had some history of neurological conditions like migraines, cognitive or motor conditions and whose diagnosis was supported by an initial MRI scan and report. The assessment was carried out case by case on the basis of a comprehensive clinical, neuropsychological and functional protocol throughout the three year period. MRI scans were conducted at the start and at the end of the study. Both volume and extent of changes in the cerebral white matter was recorded.
The results showed that 16% of all subjects suffered from migraines out of which over 66% of migraineurs also experienced with aura; women were three times more likely than men in the same age group to suffer migraines though the severity and volume changes in brain were the same in both men and women.
According to leading author of the study, Prof Fazekas, "The welcome result of the study was this: We can say for elderly patients at least that their migraines do not increase the risk of vascular injuries in cerebral white matter. They are also not at risk of these pain attacks exacerbating vascular lesions in the brain." (2)
However, in the follow-up examination after three years there was found to be no significant correlation between migraines and the progression of changes in white matter. No gender-specific differences were detected, either. In short, the assumed correlation between headaches and neurological changes was not confirmed. The correlation between migraines and changes in white matter is a specific phenomenon amongst affected younger people and presumably attributable to some other pathogenic mechanism.

Migraines & Other Pains Express Themselves In Stressed Middle-Aged Women
Pain Symptoms Reveal Themselves Especially in Stressed Middle-Aged Women (1)
Turns out that stress is more than just a migraine trigger. If the recent study conducted by the University of Gothenburg, Sweden is to be believed then almost half the women who suffer from long-term stress will suffer from some pain symptoms, migraine being one of them. They may also suffer from frequent headaches and psychosomatic symptoms such as gastrointestinal disorders
The research done by the Sahlgrenska Academy pursued 1500 women from 1968. It noted that stress experienced by women was the highest between the years 40 and 60. It was also observed that the most stressed of these women were mainly those who smoked and/or those who were single.
The statistics revealed the following in the women who were stressed:
Category/Pain Type Body Percentage
Psychosomatic symptoms Aches, Pains of muscles and joints
Neurological Migraines, (and headaches)
Gastrointestinal symptoms IBS, flatulence, bloating
According to Dominique Hange from the Academy, "Even when the results have been adjusted for smoking, BMI and physical activity, we can see a clear link between perceived stress and an increased incidence of psychosomatic symptoms. Of course, since 1968, women's lifestyles have changed in many ways. For example, many more women now work outside the home. Naturally, these changes can affect the experience of stress. But although we've used exactly the same question ever since 1968, we can't take it for granted that the term 'stress' has exactly the same meaning today. It might also be more socially accepted today to acknowledge one's experience of stress." (2)
The more important conclusion of the study was that women who stay at home single and smoke were most vulnerable to stress and required the maximum need for preventative measures from both primary healthcare and the society. This would go a long way to tackle stress-related illnesses among women starting when they are still young.

New Biomarker Predicts The Severity Of A Migraine Episode
Adiponectin Levels In Blood Signal Pain Severity In Migraines During An Attack (1)
Adiponectin is a protein hormone that is secreted by fat or adipose tissues into our bloodstream. It is known to modulate many metabolic processes (such as glucose flux, insulin sensitivity, fatty acid oxidation, weight loss, regulation of energy metabolism etc) as well as immunity and inflammation attributes. Adiponectin is also known to modulate several of the pain pathways implicated in migraines.
A recent small-scale study on migraineurs who had anything between 2-12 episodes a month, was conducted by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has now revealed that measuring the levels of adiponectin or ADP before a migraine treatment can tell which patients found relief from the debilitating pain. The study examined 20 women for a three-year period (2009-2012)
According to the associate professor of neurology and director of headache research at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, B. Lee Peterlin, D.O, "This study takes the first steps in identifying a potential biomarker for migraine that predicts treatment response and, we hope, can one day be used as a target for developing new and better migraine therapies." (2)
The process included a taking blood samples of women (to check ADP levels) before giving them either a sumatriptan/naproxen or a placebo dosage and then re-drawing blood from them at half an hour, an hour and after two hours of the drug/placebo administration.
Levels of both types of ADP, viz Low Molecular Weight (or LMW, having anti-inflammatory properties) and High Molecular Weight (or HMW, having pro-inflammatory properties) were assessed.
The researchers found that higher LMW counts caused a decrease in pain for the migraineurs and a higher ratio of HMW: LMW caused pain aggravation. It was also noticed that patients who received a steady treatment for the migraine irrespective of the fact that they were being dosed with a drug or a placebo showed an overall decrease in the total ADP over a period of time.
In Peterlin's view, should ADP (LMW and HMW) be proved to be a biomarker for migraine pain with larger scale studies, it would be very helpful for physicians to know which migraineur would benefit from which type of treatment and help them try out alternative drugs sooner than later.
The study was supported by a grant from GlaxoSmithKline and from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
