Bison Chuck Roast | Subscription

Possibly the finest of all roasts in our opinion: the Chuck Roast. Slow roast to fall-off-the-bone-tenderness while the bone creates a flavorful, brothy juice.  Great for pulled roast and the traditional pot roast.  Hint: add your vegetables the last hour or cooking to prevent them from getting mushy.

Alyssum desertorum “Desert Madwort” Brassicaceae

Missoula, MT
April 23, 2015
Robert Niese

Desert Madwort is a common weed east of the Cascades. Although it is an invasive plant (native to Eurasia), the madwort has been incorporated into the diets of many important PNW species. For example, Pronghorn Antelope consume large quantities of madwort in the winter when other food is scarce. And harvester ants have been known to collect copious quantities of madwort seeds in the fall, and will sometimes collect every single seed that was dropped in a given season.

Climate: The great Maestro of Life on Earth. History, Didactics and Case Studies

Maria Rosário Bastos, Joana Gaspar de Freitas, João Pedro Cunha Ribeiro

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Vox populi says “weather isn't what it used to be”! Climate change has been preferentially approached regarding the future. Most discussions focus on warming in recent decades and mean sea level rise, leaving aside the fact that climate has been varying over time with different impacts on Earth’s life. It is now possible through several proxies to reconstruct climatic variations in a long-term perspective. History allows to realize how humans faced climatic variations: adapting, migrating or succumbing to them. We are beginning to understand climate influence in the Crusades/Christian Peninsular Conquest and Iberian Discoveries, for example. The better we know the past the better we can have a realistic idea of present and future challenges. Having this in mind, the authors created a Climate History Course, the first in a Portuguese University. The aim of this chapter is to talk about the experience of using historical examples as a tool to communicate climate change. Being optional in scholar curricula, the course had a good adhesion, attracting students from various areas. Students are eager for these diachronic studies on climate. It is up to professors and scientists to find the better way of giving them the knowledge they seek.

Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh

Posted May 10, 2017 by Sara | Novel Novice 3 Comments

An intoxicating and action-packed new saga of love, betrayal, and honor, Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh is a worthy follow-up to the author’s best-selling The Wrath & the Dawn duology set in a world inspired by feudal Japan.

The daughter of a prominent samurai, Mariko has long known her place—she may be an accomplished alchemist, whose cunning rivals that of her brother Kenshin, but because she is not a boy, her future has always been out of her hands. At just seventeen years old, Mariko is promised to Minamoto Raiden, the son of the emperor’s favorite consort—a political marriage that will elevate her family’s standing. But en route to the imperial city of Inako, Mariko narrowly escapes a bloody ambush by a dangerous gang of bandits known as the Black Clan, who she learns has been hired to kill her before she reaches the palace.

Dressed as a peasant boy, Mariko sets out to infiltrate the ranks of the Black Clan, determined to track down the person responsible for the target on her back. But she’s quickly captured and taken to the Black Clan’s secret hideout, where she meets their leader, the rebel ronin Takeda Ranmaru, and his second-in-command, his best friend Okami. Still believing her to be a boy, Ranmaru and Okami eventually warm to Mariko, impressed by her intellect and ingenuity. As Mariko gets closer to the Black Clan, she uncovers a dark history of secrets, of betrayal and murder, which will force her to question everything she’s ever known.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book going into it – but I was quickly seduced by Mariko’s strong-willed and quick-thinking personality. Her fiery temper and fierce determination made her a formidable heroine, and her innocence and shortcomings made her relatable and endearing. I loved this girl, and eagerly followed along on her journey towards revenge and the truth.

But she was not the only captivating part of this story. So, too, are the Black Clan warriors she joins up with. And her lovelorn brother, who will do whatever it takes to find and protect his sister. And the questionable figures meeting in shadows and plotting behind the scenes, so you’re not quite sure who is good and who is evil, and who is up to what.

Flame in the Mist is filled with riddles and mysteries, and though some come to light by the book’s end – Ahdieh leaves plenty still to tease and tantalize while you wait for the next installment in this breathtaking saga.

And of course there is romance, as only Renee Ahdieh can write it – dangerous and forbidden and completely enthralling.

This book will sweep you away. Look for Flame in the Mist in stores May 16th.

How to Support an Employee with Social Anxiety

anxious person novum psychiatryImagine this. You hired a new employee who showed a lot of promise. Their experience showed that they are perhaps a stalwart in their field. Their performance has been so good that you decide to promote them and make them a team leader. You also feel that they have the potential to get your next client on board. Then the time for the presentation comes and you realize that they have a tough time with navigating social attention.

This is when it strikes you that every time you thought it was the work stress, it was actually your employee in need of social anxiety support. We completely understand. Today, when organizations thrive on competition, most employers find it a challenge to take special time out for understanding the intricacies of anxiety and empathy. However, if you are stuck in the boat of not understanding how to provide support to an employee with social anxiety, then here are some things you should know about:

First things first, what is social anxiety disorder?

We hear of a disorder and we often just leave it at that. Not many of us are aware of exactly what social anxiety entails. A socially anxious person ends up being in a state of intense anxiety and fear of being constantly judged. In order to manage their anxiety, these people avoid social situations that require them to interact with a lot of people. In a workspace, a social anxiety disorder can lead to lost productivity. Don’t worry though, here is some good news for you: social anxiety disorder is very treatable. However, to solve a problem, we need to first pay attention to the symptoms in order to provide the right social anxiety support.

Are you paying attention to the symptoms?

social attention novum psychiatryHere are some symptoms that your employee may be showcasing through their behaviors:

  • They may be seen by other individuals as aloof, disinterested or shy.
  • They may avoid social situations such as office parties, meetings or even try to evade situations that require them to talk one on one.
  • They often panic or try to avoid situations where they have to meet authority figures.
  • They try to avoid eye contact as far as they can.
  • They get upset easily and may become totally overwhelmed.
  • A socially anxious person finds it very tough to make decisions.
  • They also try to embrace perfectionism and often suffer because of that.
  • In rare cases, a socially anxious person may display physical symptoms such as blushing, excessive sweating, nausea, trembling and maybe even a shaky voice.

If you notice any of your employees showing these symptoms regularly, then here are some guidelines you can follow to provide support to an employee with social anxiety.

Big steps to take towards managing an employee’s social anxiety

Once you recognize the little symptoms that may be pointing towards your employee’s social anxiety, here are some more steps you can take to help them:

Don’t be too quick to judge

Do not let your definition of mental health get in the way of evaluating an individual. The biggest way you can provide support to an employee with social anxiety is by supporting them and helping them to feel comfortable. People often try to force employees to conform to their ideas of conventional work behavior which can make things tough for such individuals. If your employees feels like wearing headphones to help them during work hours, support that culture. Also, as long as their work is not being compromised, you can cut them a little slack and allow them to have lunch at their desks without glaring at them judgmentally.

Help them manage their perfectionism

The stress of a socially anxious individual with perfectionism is unparallelled. When their sense of perfectionism gets overwhelming, these individuals end up losing the sense of time and the borderline between achievement and obsession starts to wear thin. You will see them spending hours on unnecessary details for a presentation and almost killing themselves over it. So, set limits and deadlines. A socially anxious individual thrives well on structure. It can help them to learn when their efforts have been good enough to stop.

Set their roles with clear expectations

One of the biggest issues that get in the way of managing anxiety is the uncertainty of a job profile or the roles that a socially anxious individual has to fill. Define these roles clearly for them and take little steps like giving them a questionnaire or points of discussion before a meeting. This helps them reduce the anxiety of anticipation and be productive while getting over social anxiety at the same time.

best roles for someone with social anxiety novum psychiatyWhat are some everyday steps you can take to support an employee with social anxiety?

  • Always be open and work towards reducing the stigma of emotional disorders in your work environment
  • Practice empathy and show concern.
  • Find out how you can increase the level of mental literacy in the organization.
  • Help leaders work towards their team’s mental health by making them aware of managers and supervisors.
  • Let the employee know what kind of support services are available for them.
  • Provide workspaces that are modified and that come with flexible schedules.

Key takeaways

For one out of every four Americans, work is a major source of anxiety. These employees report that social anxiety really hampers their relationships with their co-workers. If you have been seeing the symptoms of social anxiety in some of your employees, then do not adopt a passive approach to this problem. Instead, actively participate and help them manage anxiety better.

If you feel that some of your top employees are not matching up to their potential because of this issue, then we are here for you. Book an appointment with us to provide expert support to an employee with social anxiety. Sometimes an employee may not feel comfortable speaking to their employer about their personal issues but our expert psychotherapists can surely help them navigate through this issue and help them with getting over social anxiety.

Upcoming Presentations About Employment Laws

Upcoming Presentations

I’m very excited about two upcoming presentations that I will present regarding employment laws.

California Society of CPAs

At this upcoming presentation on October 7, 2016, I will discuss: “That’s Not My Employee! Why the California Courts and Government Agencies May Disagree” to the CalCPA at Sunrise Bistro in Walnut Creek.  We will cover:

  • Independent contractor versus employee: It’s not just your client’s problem anymore
  • Minimum wage and overtime requirements: How to pay correctly
  • Update on recent changes in California employment law

Register here.  The presentation is perfect for CPAs with small practices and CPAs that advise small to mid-sized employers.

Aging Life Care Association

At this upcoming presentation on October 21, 2016, I will discuss: “Hiring and Working with Caregivers: Risks, Liabilities and Solutions” at the Aging Life Care Association’s Western Region Chapter Conference in Monterey.  We will cover how to:

  1. Identify the most common employment risks care recipients, families and those in the circle of care face when hiring and employing caregivers.
  2. Identify ways to minimize the risk that a caregiver could claim you are the employer.
  3. Be able to educate your clients regarding the various risks and alternatives when hiring a caregiver.
  4. Have alternative methods for reducing the cost of in-home care without increasing liability.

The WRC-ALCA presentation is primarily geared toward care managers and others assisting the elderly and disabled adults in the home.  Register here.

I hope to see you at these upcoming presentations. A cornerstone of my practice is educating employers, HR professionals, fiduciaries, employees, and others regarding their rights and responsibilities in the workplace. Knowledge is power, so come get powered up!

Nevada Tenants Assemble a Chain of Kindness

Each year Weststates Property Management company presents a theme to its managers to encourage interaction between management staff and tenants. The managers then give presentations about how they carried out the theme for that year. The following story was submitted by Lynda Brady, one of the Weststate’s supervisors.

As a supervisor for Weststates Property Management over several rural towns, I spend a lot of time on the road listening to music.  We were issued our new challenge of "Random Acts of Kindness" for our annual training and so my brain was always thinking.  This is something we do with our residents and then present it at our next annual training.  The song "Chain of Love" came on and I played it over and over wondering if I could do something with that for my presentation.  The idea was born and we handed out a zip lock bag filled with the words to the song,  a description of our challenge,  several  strips of colored paper,  a glue stick,  a black marker,  a nutria-grain bar (for energy) to all residents and  the "chain of love" began.

My residents were to write on a strip of paper any act of kindness they did for neighbors, family, friends, etc. or that someone did to them in approximately a 6 week time frame.  They were told I would send them out a date to start making those strips into a paper chain like we all did in grade school. Little did I know how fun or big this would become.  We would go into apartments and see them already working on their chain. People would come into my office telling me what links were added and how big their chain was getting. Residents from ages 5 to 95 were going out of their way for other residents with just simple words of kindness, helping a neighbor with various tasks, baking them a goodie or cooking them a dinner.  I thought I knew which residents would do this and was so surprised that ones I never considered were doing it.  Some started putting the chain together as they wrote on the strips and this chain was taking up their apartment.  So they started bringing the chain to my office or the recreation room. Before long the chain was everywhere.

The day came to put this chain together.   Residents came out from their apartments carrying, dragging, and wearing their chains.  We had residents at various places on the property holding one end of their chain and the end of someone else’s chain.  Green Acre Park sits on a city block, and the chain went all around the entire center of this complex.  Cimarron Village had almost half of the entire property draped in chain.  We counted that 88 apartments did over 4,000 links for this chain.

After this presentation at our training, I had several people call me asking about it and wanting their organization to do something like this.  Several months later, I see where new friendships have started, family relations reconnected, and the random acts of kindness are still happening. I think of this "random acts of kindness" as "random acts of success.”

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Lynda Brady, Manager, Cimarron Village & Green Acre Apts

Supervisor for Weststates Property Management

I needed a couple of bottles of wine for dinner, but didn’t want to make a special trip to a wine store. So I looked for wine when I was out running errands, using my advice about buying wine for dinner.

The result was the Dry Creek ($10, purchased, available at World Market), which comes from a standout California producer whose dry chenin blanc has long been one of my favorites. I wanted sauvignon blanc for dinner (oven fried chicken), saw this on the shelf, knew that I liked the chenin, and so bought it.

The fume, which is sauvignon blanc under another name, is made in the classic California sauvignon blanc style, with grassy aromas and front, and a tropical middle. Don’t expect any big, New Zealand-style grapefruit; the wine has some citrus, but is more restrained than its Kiwi cousins. The finish is a little disjointed, as if it doesn’t know how to end; all in all, though, it’s a heck of a bargain for $10.

Serve this with most white meat dishes, as well as salads. It would also, as befits any sauvignon blanc, pair with shrimp and other boiled seafood.

Towns see crime, carousing surge amid gas boom

In a modern-day echo of the raucous Old West, small towns enjoying a boom in oil and gas drilling are seeing a sharp increase in drunken driving, bar fights and other hell-raising, blamed largely on an influx of young men who find themselves with lots of money in their pockets and nothing to do after they get off work.

In a modern-day echo of the raucous Old West, small towns enjoying a boom in oil and gas drilling are seeing a sharp increase in drunken driving, bar fights and other hell-raising, blamed largely on an influx of young men who find themselves with lots of money in their pockets and nothing to do after they get off work.

Authorities in Pennsylvania and other states are quick to point out that the vast majority of workers streaming in are law-abiding. But they also say the drilling industry has brought with it a hard-working, hard-drinking, rough-and-tumble element that, in some places, threatens to overwhelm law enforcement.

Some police departments are trying to hire more officers but are hard-pressed to compete with the industry for applicants.

"On one hand, we need to count our blessings," said Sheriff Scott Busching of Williams County, N.D. "On the other hand, we need to see if we can control this so it isn't chickens one day and feathers the next. ... We have come to the point here where we're almost overwhelmed. It's very close."

In Bradford County, Pennsylvania's most heavily drilled county in the 3-year-old rush to tap the Marcellus Shale, the nation's largest-known natural gas reservoir, the stream of men from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and elsewhere has been accompanied by increases in arrests, traffic violations, protection-from-abuse orders and warrants issued for people who don't show up in court, law enforcement officials said.

In the heart of western North Dakota's oil patch, driving under the influence and assaults have spiked after thousands of workers descended on the area and settled in apartments and trailer villages known as "man camps." Southwestern Wyoming's booming gas fields also have seen a rise in rowdy behavior.

"We definitely do drink a lot. I ain't going to lie," said Jordon Bourque, a 23-year-old pipe inspector from Lafayette, La., who was drinking beer at a bar in the Williamsport, Pa., area one recent night.

But he said that many in the industry obey the law and that authorities in Pennsylvania have less tolerance for troublemakers than police in small-town Texas, where rig workers are used to raising hell and getting a pass from law enforcement.

"You can do that (stuff) and get away with it," Bourque said. In Pennsylvania, "they look at it totally different."

Leaving a diner in Towanda in northern Pennsylvania, Jason Phillips, a 30-year-old drilling-equipment supervisor from Coldspring, Texas, said the problem is not really the drilling industry — "it's young people making a lot of money." As for himself, he said, "I'm not too much of wild person."

The boom in drilling has been made possible by horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a technique that cracks open rock layers to free natural gas. Large numbers of workers are needed to operate drilling equipment, drive trucks, handle chemicals, lay pipeline and perform other tasks.

The hours are long. Some employees put in two weeks on, two weeks off. But entry-level laborers or truck drivers can make $40,000 or more, while workers on the drilling rigs can easily pull down twice that. Their employers often pick up the tab for hotels, meals and practically everything else.

In Sweetwater County, Wyo., where natural gas exploration boomed about a decade ago, the population increased from 37,600 in 2000 to 43,800 in 2010, and arrests for drunkenness, drugs and DUI more than doubled from 603 in 2000 to a peak of 1,535 in 2008, according to state figures.

Since then, the numbers have eased to 1,128 in 2010, a decline that sheriff's spokesman Detective Dick Blust Jr. credited to the sluggish national economy.

In Pennsylvania's Bradford County, DUI arrests by state troopers are on track to rise 40 percent this year after climbing 60 percent last year, District Attorney Dan Barrett said. The number of sentences handed out for criminal offenses was up 35 percent in 2010, he said.

Sheriff Clinton Walters said his officers are handling about a 25 percent increase from last year in everything from warrants for people who fail to appear in court to protection-from-abuse orders. The flood of arrests is such that his office's van is no longer big enough to transport all the inmates at once from jail to court, Walters said.

Stories abound about friction between locals and out-of-towners, whether road rage incidents or fights over women.

Renee Daly, 27, of Montrose, Pa., said she knows of at least three marriages that ended when local women abandoned their husbands for gas-field workers.

It's "because of these Southern gentlemen, with their Southern accents, and the girls move in with these guys to take care of them," she said. "You get to spend their money, and they're gone two weeks at a time."

Wearing a T-shirt emblazoned "My Indian name is crawling drunk," Jeanette Pratt, a title searcher from Monroe, La., who travels the country for the gas industry and was on assignment recently in Montrose, said the difference is that the out-of-town rig workers "have a lot more money to party with" than the locals.

In the North Dakota boomtown of Williston, some bars have become rough, and the number of domestic-disturbance calls and arrests for such crimes as DUI, assault and theft in just the first half of 2011 was twice the total for all of 2010, said Busching, the sheriff.

Busching and Williston police are scrambling to hire but say they can't pay enough for their new officers to afford the high rents, and many would-be local applicants have opted for a higher paycheck in the drilling industry.

"I have increased staff, and I'm going to increase again, but I can't until I find a place for them to live," Busching said. Williston Police Capt. Tom Ladwig said he has been hiring from police academies in Minnesota and has officers staying on couches in colleagues' apartments until they can find their own places.

Doctors are treating more patients for chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease, in some of the biggest oil-producing counties in western North Dakota — 237 cases in 2010 compared with 145 in 2008 — although the state's disease-control chief, Kirby Kruger, said that it is difficult to call three years of data a real trend.

There are also rumors of prostitution.

In rural southern Texas, where exploration for oil and gas in the Eagle Ford Shale is just getting under way, Robert Garza, police chief in the town of Dilley, said he has heard talk about plans to build a club "down in the boonies" that would supply prostitutes to drilling industry workers.

Police departments in the area have reported unusual activity in recent months: early morning traffic stops with "very young, attractive girls in BMWs" from the Houston area, at least a five-hour drive from Dilley, Garza said.

Back in Pennsylvania, a Bradford County commissioner, Doug McLinko, said the crime spike doesn't change his mind about the importance of the drilling boom to the local economy. Other states, he said, would "cut an arm off" to have such a surge.

"I'm always a little apprehensive about painting this as a big problem around the county, because it just isn't," McLinko said. "A lot of these people are really well-behaved. ... To a large degree, is it out control or a major issue? Absolutely not."

Associated Press writers Michael Rubinkam in Montrose, Pa., James MacPherson in Bismarck, N.D., and Ramit Plushnick-Masti in Houston contributed to this report.

Natural Ingredients

Ocean Based Natural Retinol

Sea Fennel, scientifically known as Crithmum Maritimum, is a natural plant that is incredibly potent in Vitamin A and provides the same benefits as Retinol without ANY of the sensitivity or toxicity concerns. In the natural skincare industry this is referred to as Ocean Based Retinol, and is truly a better way to Vitamin A!.

Today, Sea Fennel Extract is seen to be one of the absolute best ingredients for skin strength, luster, and anti-aging effects. So if you experience sensitivity to Retinol, but are still looking for those amazing effects, you should definitely integrate this beautiful ingredient into your skincare regimen.

Plant Based Hyaluronic Acid (Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide)

Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide is a water-binding sugar that exerts its effects by holding moisture within the skin. It is sourced from Cassia, or Senna, a plant native to India that is high in polysaccharides. With a similar structure to Hyaluronic Acid, it helps hydrate in two ways. It binds up to 1000x its weight in water and it also creates a barrier on the skin to lock in moisture.

MSM (the beauty mineral)

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur compound that’s naturally derived during the earth’s rain cycle. Biologically active sulfur is one of the most critical nutrients for our bodies to remain youthful and energetic.

It has an impressive array of health benefits as it enhances the strength, thickness and shine of the skin.  It also helps the body heal eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, acne, dandruff and dermatitis.

Ocean Mineral Complex

The ocean is well known for producing some of the most dense and regenerative ingredients our planet has to offer. We have sourced the most effective ingredients of them all and combined them in perfect proportions to create our proprietary Ocean Mineral Complex..

This revolutionary formula is comprised of natural and organic Ocean Minerals, Spirulina, Seaweed, Sea Kelp, and Irish Moss. Each of these ingredients can provide intense benefits to your skin on their own, but our Ocean Mineral Complex enables them to work together to gently provide the perfect balance of regenerative nutrients to your skin.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Oil is rich in beauty-boosting vitamins A, E and D, plus antioxidants and fatty acids, jojoba "oil" is actually a wax ester with remarkably similar properties to our skin's own sebum. This means the "oil" is able to penetrate deeply, reaching below the top layer of skin for maximum nourishment. Jojoba is also naturally antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, analgesic (read: able to relieve pain), hypoallergenic, and anti-inflammatory. Perhaps best of all, it can be used on any skin type, from dry and sensitive to acne-prone.

Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil is rich in beauty-boosting fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. It is has wonderful moisturizing, antimixrobial, and healing properties.

  • Masque

    Apply a generous amount to face, neck and décolleté. Allow to dry - note: this is a creamy based mask so it will not completely harden like some clay masks but it will start to get sticky and stiff. Use a damp steamed towel to wipe o or wash o with warm water.

    Eye Creme

    Dab around eyes, forehead and cheek area in the morning and/or at night. This concentrated multi-use crème can be used on the neck or as all over face treatment as well.

    Hydrating crème

    After cleansing and serum application, apply crème with light circular motion to face, neck and décolleté.

NnT Transition Messages

Sometimes when you enter a loading screen one of these messages appears. I’ve used a few tools to collect all these messages from the game’s data for your reading pleasure.

Fleeing deeper into the grinding lines than ever before,
but not long ago Abe was just waxing floors!

The smell of searing flesh was nothing like the sweet,
familiar aroma of his favorite Tasty Treats.

The trains take him elsewhere, but back he will be.
They won't go too far, and there's not much to see.

Furnace and grinders still hot in his mind,
Abe frantically flees from the farm's fleshy grind.

The Natives were wary of a factory-born face,
but Abe was in awe of this spiritual place.

More Flint Locks remain in the Mudokon shrines.
To light them all, Abe must leave the Monsaic Lines.

A world unknown but now uncovered;
hauntingly familiar, with much more to be discovered.

Out of the forest, the Elum appeared.
The journey to the temple was becoming weird.

The Elum was strong and made travelling easy.
But riding on its back left Abe feeling queasy...

With Slig patrols conquered and Natives appeased,
the duo tore onwards (and far from the bees).

To the temple, Abe now travelled.
What dark mysteries would be unravelled?

The Elum was quick, and its jumps had great power.
Abe would soon be at the great wooden tower.

Abe had eaten Paramite Pies and suffered much illing,
yet now he faces more than just processed pastry filling.

Abe's soon to learn how formidable his favorite "pies" can be.
Help him survive - help him to see.

Harsh lessons of Paramites would soon sear his flesh.
Now he wonders how he got into this mess.

Abe returns, having travelled so far,
his right hand branded with the Paramite scar.

Scrabanian canyons stretched deep and wide,
but they'd be no problem with an Elum to ride!

The Elum crossed wild terrain with ease,
but the Natives ahead were yet to be pleased...

Abe's quest for the temple took him to great heights,
but he wouldn't give up on the Mudokons' plight.

The greatest threat to Abe's persistence
was the temple looming in the distance.

Vast distances covered and Slig patrols bested.
Now Abe approached the temple where the Scrabs nested...

Many have failed the Scrabs' tests ahead,
but never one such as Abe, whose people must be led.

Challenging Scrabs is no cake walk, Abe found.
Most vicious and deadly when not chopped up and ground.

Something more Abe becomes, though he's yet to understand.
A scar still awaits his unmarked hand.

The wells bring Abe back from the sun-bleached sand,
Scrab scar etched on the back of his left hand.

Back to the farm, the home of Abe's life.
Now to bring it all down, and unleash his soul strife.

Approaching the end, but for Abe or the farm?
Only you can determine, which shall receive more harm.

Security's tight, but Abe's in for the fight.
To be victorious you must demonstrate his might.

After such a journey, Abe's friends will appear.
To aid in his battle they'll not let him fear.

Mud souls still at work, unaware of their fate.
More still to rescue, before its too late.

A shortcut...

Places unseen, decrepit and bare.
Soon no Mudokons should be slaving there.

More Mudokons await, their lives in great peril.
Rescue them quick or see their bones in a barrel.

Security increasing, defenses alarmed.
Sligs gather in hordes and very well armed.

Only a few Mudokons left, not many remained.
Lead them to Shrykull portals, and unleash Abe's reign.

Towards the heavily-guarded power generator, Abe must go.
If he shuts it all down, it will be quite the show.

A horrifying realization, experienced near.
Fate's brought Abe's return - now there's no time for fear.

Try throwing grenades or bottlecaps while Abe is crouched,
and while standing. Spot the difference!

Even while rolling, Abe can launch into the air or slow right
down to a quiet shuffle. A multi-talented Mudokon!

Don't hold a grenade in your paw for too long,
or you'll become Mudokon mincemeat!

Freeing slaves through bird portals releases healing birds;
help your fellow Mudokons and they'll help you!

Maintenance is hard work in a place as big as RuptureFarms. Good thing
there are matching lights on levers, trapdoors, meat grinders and more!

Jump up while standing underneath a ledge to climb straight up;
useful in those confined spaces!

Hop to it! Jump while standing still for a short, controlled hop
or jump while running for a longer leap.

Looking for someone? All workers are listed in RuptureFarms

Scrubbing floors isn't so great for Mudokon cardio, so don't be
surprised if fellow escapees refuse to copy your daring leaps and climbs!

A healthy Mudokon travels with a full halo of birds.
Press #HAL# to check your health; the more the merrier!

With a quick tap of #THR# you can drop bottlecaps and more
while on the run; faster than a carefully-aimed throw!

No single Mudokon has seen all of RuptureFarms; who knows
what secrets lie beyond concealed entrances and trapdoors...?

The more Mudokons you rescue, the more opportunities you'll have
to unleash Shrykull's power!

Mudokon slaves learn to obey orders the hard way, so when a Slig
yells "Freeze!" the wise Mudokon hits the deck.

Sligs may be short-sighted and short on brain cells, but they know
suspicious behaviour when they see it.

Watch out! Motion Detectors can cut off mystical energy. Set one off and
you'll lose your Shrykull power in the blink of an eye!

Sligs can hold the trigger for a pretty long time, but sooner or later
they'll need to back up and adjust their aim.

You don't always have to carefully aim your grenades; try throwing
without aiming to drop a surprise on the spot!

The trains to other Zulags are controlled by security locks.
Find all the levers to gain access to the next station.

Hungry Slogs will bite the hand that feeds them, so you'd better
make sure it's holding a loaded gun.

Chant Suppressors are hard on disobedience, but not hard enough to
withstand a well-timed grenade.

The following messages are from the DLC, Alf's Escape.

Sligs make the lousiest customers
Lead Alf to greener pastures!

Alf can travel down through Dreg Chutes. Just find
the right lever to operate the trapdoor!

Friends don't let friends become food
Keep Alf alive at all costs!!

Friends are for life, not just for lunchtime
Don't let Alf come to any harm!!

Annexed away and brewing strange flavours
A lost soul named Alf, in need of a saviour.

The slaughterhouse sang with awful howls,
and they echoed through Abe, right down to his bowels.

Abe's nerves had been shaken so far,
but he persevered onwards to find Alf and his bar.

Avoiding a fate as mashed Slog food,
Abe smelled strange beverages being brewed

The dreg chutes had many outlets below.
Abe headed for freedom, with Alf now in tow!

Alf would soon be rescued too,
but was still to concoct his last brew

Top 3 NBA Players 23 and Under - Offside Story

Top 3 NBA Players 23 and Under

When it comes to the National Basketball Association, there is a lot to love about the league. One thing is the amount of young talent that excites organizations, coaches, and fans across the globe. Today, we will dive into the best NBA players who are 23 years and younger. Because the game is so global, 2 out of 3 on this list are born outside the United States of America.

#1 – Luka Doncic

courtesy of Instagram

The Slovenian small forward has been on a roll after his Rookie of the Year 2018-2019 season. Over the first month of the 2019-2020 campaign, Doncic has almost been averaging a triple-double with 30.8 points per game (ppg), 9.9 rebounds per game, (RPG), and 9.6 assists a contest. This 6’7” player is one of the best all-around offensive talents on the list.

#2 – Ben Simmons

courtesy of Instagram

The next player on the list is the Australian Ben Simmons. The point guard came into the league as a creator and continues to work on his scoring ability from outside the arch. This season, Simmons is accounting for 12.8 ppg, 7.0 RPG, and 8.1 assists per game (APG). What is even more impressive is the fact that Simmons is shooting 50% from 3-point range, after never hitting a 3 in his first 2 seasons.

#3 – Donovan Mitchell

courtesy of Instagram

As the best scorer of the 3 players, Mitchell is averaging a whopping 25.3 ppg in the 2019-2020 season. By upping his rebounding average to 5.1 per game and keeping his APG around 4, Mitchell is an elite scoring guard that few can handle defensively. Through 19 regular-season games in 2019-2020, Mitchell already has 4 30+ point scoring games.

WHAT:  2019 Monster Energy Supercross
WHERE: Las Vegas, Nevada
GEAR: Rig 9800

This year’s Monster Energy Cup in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, was one for the books. Between the multiple track layout and the intense competition, it was going to be no easy feat to claim that million-dollar prize. In this “pre-supercross” season debut our OGIO riders showed they will tough to beat in the 2020 season. Moto Concept Honda’s Malcolm Stewart was on fire, battling with the top of the field throughout the night. Malcolm would go on to win Moto 2 after not having raced in 9 months due to a broken femur early in the 2019 supercross season. The talk of the night, however, was the 450 rookie Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo. AC was on top of the leader board after timed qualifying one, which gave him the momentum and confidence headed into the races. After the first two races, Stewart, Tomac, and Cianciarulo would find themselves in a three-way tie going into the third main event! With $100,000 on the line, these three gave the fans what they paid for! They battled hard with OGIO’s Adam Cianciarulo barley edging out Tomac for the overall win and huge cash bonus!

OGIO supports some of the fastest amateur motocross racing in the world and they were would in force in Vegas. The all-star rookie Jett Lawrence, brother to pro rider Hunter Lawrence, dominated the Supercross 250 Futures class Saturday. Battling close was the young Husqvarna rider Jalek Swoll. Brock Papi made the long haul out from Pennsylvania to do battle with the factory guys. OGIO is proud to support the entire Amateur all-star podium.

Congratulations to all of our OGIO athletes on an incredible weekend in Vegas!

Healthcare Utilization After a Children’s Health Insurance Program Expansion in Oregon

Steffani R. Bailey, Miguel Marino, Megan Hoopes, John Heintzman, Rachel Gold, Heather Angier, Jean P. O’Malley, Jennifer E. DeVoe

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

9 Scopus citations

Objective The future of the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is uncertain after 2017. Survey-based research shows positive associations between CHIP expansions and children’s healthcare utilization. To build on this prior work, we used electronic health record (EHR) data to assess temporal patterns of healthcare utilization after Oregon’s 2009–2010 CHIP expansion. We hypothesized increased post-expansion utilization among children who gained public insurance. Methods Using EHR data from 154 Oregon community health centers, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients (2–18 years old) who gained public insurance coverage during the Oregon expansion (n = 3054), compared to those who were continuously publicly insured (n = 10,946) or continuously uninsured (n = 10,307) during the 2-year study period. We compared pre-post rates of primary care visits, well-child visits, and dental visits within- and between-groups. We also conducted longitudinal analysis of monthly visit rates, comparing the three insurance groups. Results After Oregon’s 2009–2010 CHIP expansions, newly insured patients’ utilization rates were more than double their pre-expansion rates [adjusted rate ratios (95 % confidence intervals); increases ranged from 2.10 (1.94–2.26) for primary care visits to 2.77 (2.56–2.99) for dental visits]. Utilization among the newly insured spiked shortly after coverage began, then leveled off, but remained higher than the uninsured group. Conclusions This study used EHR data to confirm that CHIP expansions are associated with increased utilization of essential pediatric primary and preventive care. These findings are timely to pending policy decisions that could impact children’s access to public health insurance in the United States.

Amiga: Boogietown by Ghostown & RNO

Hi guys,

Lately I’ve been pretty busy with my Amiga 1200. I’ve fiddled around with various emulators, played games and watched a few demos. 🙂 The problem is that time flies by so incredibly fast when you’re having fun. 😉

I’m going to upload a video of the ZX Spectrum emulator in action some time this week and I’m also planning on doing some footage of the Amiga browsing the World Wide Web. Stay tuned!

Today I thought I’d share a cool demo with you. The name of the production is Boogietown and it was created by two groups, Ghostown and RNO (Rave Network Overscan). It won the old-school demo competition at the Revision 2012 demo-party in Germany this Easter.

The demo was made for the Amiga 500 with Kickstart 1.3.

If you want to check it out, please click on this link to download the demo to your computer.

You can also have a look at a video of the demo below. The recording was done live at the party place. This gives the production some extra atmosphere. 😉

This is one of the better demos I’ve seen for quite a while. Excellent work by the authors. 🙂

What do you think of the demo? Did you like it?

  1. Wow! Seriously! Thank you for posting this! I just watched the demo (there was a better version on YouTube), and it blew me away! This has to be the best A500 demo I’ve seen in years! It got me so excited that I immediately wrote my coder buddy and said that we have to make a demo! 🙂

    • Hi Mads,

      Thanks for commenting. 🙂

      Glad you enjoyed the demo. I totally agree with you – this production is awesome.

      I’m still surprised it is for the Amiga 500. Some of the pictures are very colourful and could easily be mistaken for AGA.

      That’s good news! It’s cool that this demo has inspired you to create something. 🙂 Please keep me updated concerning this.

  2. We absolutely love yor blog and findd the
    majority of your post’s to be precisely what I’m
    looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content in your case?I wouldn’t mind creating a
    post or elwborating on many of the subjects you write with regards to
    here. Again, awesome website!

Solidarity in a Time of Fear and Resistance: Here and Everywhere

By | Leave a Comment

The past several weeks have brought reminders of the importance of solidarity with our fellow human beings who face threats to their well-being, whether from the diseases of hate and cruelty or from the equally devastating disease of indifference. We begin in Washington, DC, then move to the global stage.

As a resident of Washington, DC, I have the good fortune of living only blocks from the rallies and marches that have proliferated over the past 20 months. Images from one march earlier this month embodied for me why, even when sometimes we know that a march or rally will not lead to policy change today, they can nonetheless have a real and meaningful effect today. The march was from Freedom Plaza to Lafayette Square in front of the White House as part of the Rally Against Hate that organized to stand against the racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and other expressions of hate whose perpetrators have felt empowered by the current occupant of the White House.

As thousands marched those few blocks, among those who lined the streets were service workers, doormen and restaurant workers, mostly black and Latino (emblematic of how we as a nation have failed yet to truly address the persistant consequences of racism of the past, with economic systems today reinforcing past wrongs, creating new ones). At one restaurant, it looked as though the entire kitchen staff had stepped outside. At another, several workers at one window were cheering, waving, smiling, as were restaurant workers and patrons pressed up against the restaurant’s next window.

These targets of the hate that the marchers were going to confront – the so-called “unite the right” rally of white supremacists was scheduled to take place at one end of Lafayette Square – got great pleasure in seeing thousands of people who were so clearly with them, standing up, speaking out, chanting and singing for an America that embraces people of all hues and religions, people from all lands, with open arms and with love (“love, not hate, that’s what makes America great” went the chant).

Such visible demonstrations of solidarity may be particularly imperative when it comes to people under threat today not only from avowed white supremacists, but even from the very policies of the United States government – particularly immigrants, and especially those from Latin America, though also people of color and Muslims from other parts of the world. For them, stepped up deportations – part of an anti-immigration political environment that even included family separation turned family-often-non-reunification, and cruel new policies aimed to  keep people fleeing domestic abuse and gang violence from receiving asylum – all contribute to trauma and chronic stress that cause significant harm to physical and mental health. Toxic stress in childhood even has lifelong effects. This stress and resulting harm appears to affect all Latinos in the United States, not only ones without proper documentation. Meanwhile, fear also leads immigrants who face the threat of deportation to avoid leaving their homes and opt out of health benefits to which their U.S. citizen children are entitled.

It would be nice to think that with enough outward displays of support from those of us who continue to favor the America of the Statue of Liberty rather than of a wall could replace that endless fear with hope and solace and counter this violence to people’s health. Maybe for some immigrants and other Latinos, at least at the edges, it could; I am not aware of research on the salutary health effects of solidarity. But perhaps the persisting roots of the stress and fear would mean that whatever displays of solidarity, unless the government changes its policies and practices, these health harms will persist unmitigated.

Whatever solidarity’s effects on chronic and toxic stress, though, and whatever the policy impacts or other ramifications over time, in those smiles and that cheering of those in the restaurant windows I witnessed the immediate, and themselves very real, reasons for standing with our neighbors who are being told that they are not welcome in, or are not full members of, the American family.

I conclude with an extended quote of Kofi Annan, the former UN Secretary-General who died on Saturday. When accepting the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize, he spoke the basic truth of our common humanity, and what a different, what a better, world ours would be if we simply recognized this and lived it. Always worth bearing in our minds and in our hearts, it has particular resonance now as we near August 25, 2018, the first anniversary of when what New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof called “a genocide in slow motion” against the Rohingya people of Burma became an all-out genocidal assault. In these times when human rights and societies built on our common humanity are under threat in so many ways in so many parts of the world, Kofi Annan’s tireless insistence on human rights and our common humanity is something we must all echo.

Here is what he said:

“Today, in Afghanistan, a girl will be born. Her mother will hold her, feed her, and comfort her, and care for her, just as any mother would anywhere else in the world. In those most basic acts of human nature, humanity knows no divisions. But to be born a girl in Afghanistan today is to begin life centuries away from the prosperity that one small part of humanity has achieved. Even though her mother will do all in her power to protect her and sustain her, there is a one in a four risk that this girl will not live to see her fifth birthday. Whether she does is just one of the tests of our common humanity, of our belief in our individual responsibility for our fellow men and women. But it is the only test that matters. Remember this girl, then our larger aims to fight poverty, prevent conflict, or cure disease will not seem distant or impossible. Indeed, those aims will seem very near and very achievable, as they should. Because beneath the surface of states and nations, ideas and language, lies the fate of individual human beings in need.”

The Enemy

by Davide Cali
Illustrated by Serge Bloch

One Potato Review

Unmanned bombers in Afghanistan are these days being piloted by a guy with a joy-stick in Arizona. Kids don’t know this necessarily, but they will. In an age where it is increasingly difficult to look away – from blockbuster movies and gaming simulations and Wolf Blitzer – this book is a worthy and graceful reminder of the lives and family pictures at the other end of our generalizations. Because if the enemy is us, maybe we have less to be afraid of. With spare line drawings, simple, accessible text, and a message in a bottle.

Talking heads bio-docs are no new invention, yet Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am becomes something special through the enthusiasm, wit, and warmth of all involved. A clear sense of love for the literary legend pervades Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’ documentary, which presents Morrison’s life and works front and centre – largely in the late author’s own words.

Morrison is a confident, captivating speaker, and her humour and self-deprecation come through alongside complete confidence in her voice and vision. An early portion in the film where she talks about a literary tradition that values the ‘white gaze’ is one of the standout portions, showcasing her eloquent presentation and scholarly examination of race, class, and literary institutions. The other guests might sometimes struggle to keep up with her larger-than-life presence and comfort in front of the camera, but the varying perspectives they bring to Morrison’s impact on twentieth-century American literature demonstrate the wide reach of her work without deifying the writer.

To the documentary’s credit, the structure is not wholly chronological, instead building on themes of Morrison’s life and work to finish with Beloved, her Nobel Prize-winning magnum opus. The script and subjects are meticulously paced, keeping engagement high throughout, and archival images and footage break up the presentation. This supports the documentary’s greatest strength: its unabashed enjoyment of itself and its subject. Instead of trying to convince viewers of Morrison’s talent and influence, it revels in her work letting the lives it touched speak for themselves.

While there is nothing overly innovative in the documentary’s form or presentation, Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am is an articulate, funny, and powerful celebration of one of America’s premier literary forces. Its passionate presentation and complete commitment to Morrison’s legacy make it a vibrant exploration of and fitting tribute to a brilliant life.

CAST: Toni Morrison, Hilton Als, Oprah Winfrey, Russell Banks

DIRECTOR: Timothy Greenfield-Sanders

SYNOPSIS: This documentary of the famous writer’s life and work is narrated by Morrison and the scholars, artists, and cultural leaders impacted by her work.

Congress’ last-ditch talks on virus stimulus fail

Mark Meadows (left) and Steven Mnuchin symbolize the White House within the talks

Last-ditch negotiations on the US Congress to forge one other stimulus package deal for the coronavirus-ravaged economic system have collapsed in stalemate.

Democrats and Republicans stay at odds over all the things from unemployment advantages to monetary help for faculties to money injections for states’ coffers.

The US unemployment charge stands at 10.2%, above any degree through the 2008 monetary disaster.

Jobless advantages have expired, as did a federal moratorium on evictions.

On Friday, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, essentially the most highly effective elected Democrat, held a gathering in her Capitol Hill workplace with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of workers Mark Meadows.

Mrs Pelosi stated in a information convention that she was keen to supply a compromise.

“We’ll go down one trillion, you go up one trillion,” she advised reporters as she staked out her place, including: “We have an ethical accountability to seek out frequent floor.”

In May, her Democratic-controlled chamber handed a $3.5tr (£2.7tr) stimulus invoice. But it was rejected by President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans who maintain sway within the Senate.

As he entered Mrs Pelosi’s workplace on Friday, Mr Mnuchin known as her proposal “a non-starter”.

Republicans desire a package deal nearer to $1tr complete and wish any deal to incorporate authorized protections for employers in opposition to virus-related well being claims from employees.

They are additionally pushing to scale back the $600 unemployment advantages, which expired final month, and wish far much less help to native governments than Democrats are searching for.

Blame sport begins

After weeks of negotiations, throughout which federal unemployment assist for tens of millions of Americans ended and financial numbers point out the restoration was stalling, congressional Democrats and administration officers have been capable of supply the nation… nothing.

Both sides agreed that one thing must be accomplished to assist the unemployed, present some assist to varsities which can be struggling to deal with the pandemic and defend these dealing with eviction. The problem was there was nonetheless no less than a trillion {dollars} in daylight between their two plans, and neither aspect appeared keen to budge.

That means that each side are keen to endure the political and financial fallout of a continued deadlock.

Democrats could imagine that Americans will blame the president or recalcitrant Senate Republicans who’ve proven little curiosity in additional deficit spending. The White House could hope that no matter unilateral actions Donald Trump can take will supply him some political protections.

The backside line, nonetheless, is that tens of millions of Americans will teeter nearer to the sting of the monetary abyss – and with Congress leaving city for summer time recess, there’s little signal of substantive assist from Washington anytime quickly.

The US unemployment charge continued to fall in July within the US, however it was a a lot decrease lower than in May and June, denting hopes of an financial revival.

Negotiations have been occurring for the previous two weeks, because the US dying toll from the coronavirus pandemic surpasses 160,000.

The US has much more Covid-19 instances by quantity than every other nation – greater than 4.9 million – and its charge of an infection has risen steadily all through the summer time.

Congress has already allotted some $3bn for pandemic reduction to date.

Some Republicans in Congress don’t want to spend any extra. Nearly half of Republican senators say they might oppose any new reduction invoice in any respect.

Following the 90-minute assembly Senate Democratic chief Chuck Schumer advised reporters it was “disappointing”.

“We’re asking them once more to be truthful, to satisfy us within the center, to not have a ‘my approach or the freeway perspective,’ which they appear to have.”

The White House has stated if talks failed the president was ready to take unilateral motion via govt orders to handle unemployment insurance coverage, residence evictions, pupil loans and a payroll tax minimize.

“I’ll suggest to the president primarily based upon our lack of exercise as we speak to maneuver ahead with some govt orders,” Mr Mnuchin advised reporters as he departed Capitol Hill.

But it’s unclear how a lot the president can change by fiat, on condition that Congress controls federal spending.

Patient-Reported Self-Efficacy, Anxiety, and Health-Related Quality of Life During Chemotherapy: Results From a Longitudinal Study

Roma Maguire
ONF 2017, 44(1), 127-136 DOI: 10.1188/17.ONF.127-136

Purpose/Objectives: To explore changes over time in self-efficacy and the predictive ability of changes in state anxiety and health-related quality of life during chemotherapy.

Design: Secondary analysis of a longitudinal dataset derived from a larger, multicenter study.

Setting: Outpatient oncology clinics across eight general hospitals in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Sample: 137 patients scheduled to receive adjuvant chemotherapy for breast or colorectal cancer.

Methods: At the beginning of each of six chemotherapy cycles, participants completed the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health questionnaire, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Breast or –Colorectal questionnaire. Multilevel model analysis was used to analyze longitudinal data, adjusted for demographic and clinical variables.

Main Research Variables: Self-efficacy, anxiety, and health-related quality of life.

Findings: No significant time effects were found for patients’ overall perceived self-efficacy or self-efficacy parameters. A trend toward greater self-efficacy was evident as chemotherapy progressed. Self-efficacy was significantly associated with decreased state anxiety throughout chemotherapy. Increases in overall self-efficacy and perceived ability to maintain a positive attitude were significantly associated with over-time increases in physical, emotional, and functional well-being, as well as with fewer cancer-related concerns.

Conclusions: Findings highlight the importance of clinical assessments throughout treatment that focus on patients’ perceived self-efficacy as a positive regulator of mood and well-being.

Implications for Nursing: The current study suggests self-efficacy enhancement should be a key component of psycho-behavioral programs designed to support patients with cancer throughout chemotherapy.
