1-2: INCOME = 0 - 16,000YR

3-4: INCOME = 16,000 - 32,550YR

5-6 INCOME = 32,550 - 70,000YR

7-8 INCOME = 70,000 - 100,000YR

9-10 INCOME = 100,000 - 175,000YR

11-12 INCOME = 175,000 - 350,000YR

13-14 INCOME = 350,000 - 1,000,000YR

15-16 INCOME = 1,000,000 - 50,000,000YR

17-18 INCOME = 50,000,000 -500,000,000YR

19-20 INCOME = 500,000,000 - 1,000,000,000YR

21-22 INCOME = 1,000,000,000 - 500,000,000,000YR

23-24 INCOME = 500,000,000,000 - NO NEED FOR MONEY

personal income does not exstend to upper income brackets This is reflected in increase taxation for the more wealthy and as an individual I am always in some way

and by degrees participatory in global economy at its furthest evolutionary peak

/ Also another form of by scale payment

the first practical tiers are reflecting US federal Taxation brackets for 2008

Just because at the 23-24 i've suggested No Need For Money does not mean NO MONEY Neccessarily but a collective world so rich in potential liquidality that all needs

on all levels of social being are met equaly and efficiently liberating all to be free to each thier own personal design.

2 developmental parallels - collective span of humanities progression from early earth histories and span of life for each of us.

MONEY IN 12 TIERS | Integral Life

1 of 3 10/14/2010 1:12 PM

we start out with zero as a species and individually and emerge into an ecology of economy that is simple and blah blah blah lets work on this

3-4: INCOME = 16,000 - 32,550YR

the more income we have is relevant to our individual and collective ability to do something with all that money and at first take care of our basic needs / these lower

stages offer us an income to take care of mostly those needs not much more.. NOTE/ THIS IS STILL A PERSONAL AND POSSIBLE FAMILY SIZE INCOME/ SO IN TURN LIKE

CONSCIOUSNESS MODELS HEDGES ONE IN TO PERSONAL INFLUENCE AND MONETARY INTEREST/ we only have enough money for ourselves and possibly our family and may

still be dependent / if not for income we are greatly dependent on our jobs and participate in a type of economic slavery and dependence - *build here**

5-6 INCOME = 32,550 - 70,000YR

Great! Now something is happening - I don't know what but more money is being made and perhaps we have more time and better jobs.. I am in 3-4 at this time and I

don't get vacations and can't afford to take off work but hear many in this class have actually got paid vacations, sick days and benefits including insurance and

retirement plans// wow! more freedom and respect, better living environments and **build here**

7-8 INCOME = 70,000 - 100,000YR

While we gain in income we typically gain in social responsibility - first thing we pay more in taxes right. Then we also have in a lot of cases positions with greater

authority in the circle of influence and control (supervisors of managers, regional, district and through the holoarcies of leadership - it really is the same each upper

level of management includes and oversees you know the lower .. **I don't know where to draw exact descriptions, lets work on this**

9-10 INCOME = 100,000 - 175,000YR

Still greater span of interest in companies and corporate responsibility - each gaining reach into cultural and social political and commercial domain / just look at the

people who have these incomes and gain a full directory for each tier respectively/ let there duties and conveniences/ positive attributes and negetive define each/

show the good and the bad potetials in interelation with those who reach a high economic bracket with low end cognitive drives and suss out the eventual balance in

natural corrective tendency / don't feel lost in this / things are about to get interesting and though each line is independent from another perhaps they also can not be

but are more reflective of each other and we could manage our associative models in general simplicity// ooh yeah i like that / what is that, oh yeah fractal parts of the

whole where we can see the whole from one line / right! pattern recognition... (with the basic platform understanding an individual specialized in any other area may

be capable of linking up and drawing strong integral components that apply across the span of interaction.. I'm Rambling...

11-12 INCOME = 175,000 - 350,000YR

Ok so now we have great economy coming into play perhaps we can start to talk about the income of not individuals but collectives / now we are not just talking

personal income or family income - we are venturing into the stock market and participating in mutual funds and such as that - **someone take this and run a marathon

with it***

13-14 INCOME = 350,000 - 1,000,000YR

The collective income of cities maybe / so understand this is like an arrow running back on itself - what i mean is this.. when you talk about commercialism / we all

participate in this either from the point of view of the producer or the consumer - also we all have rights to participate in our government / now the political line is

gonna merge here with the economic because well they can not work without the other and if you look back down the line from here at least when I do it looks like we

could have been talking about either line, though i've not seen a tier by tier description or walk through of the political also now the political is controlled by monetary

influence / so as these money groups expand beyond the wealth of political bodies they gain greater influence over the lesser capital of the political body / interesting

conspitorial fun yeah?!

15-16 INCOME = 1,000,000 - 50,000,000YR

As individuals and collective organizations continue to expand they also / and this most likely began happening in the first stage but only know becomes really conscious

/ that is the interlinking and interactive dependence of these groups working together cooperatively for each in mutual benefit in competition and or not / i guess it

isn't always for a mutual benefit.. organizations reach out beyond themselves.. ** more work to be done **

17-18 INCOME = 50,000,000 -500,000,000YR

who is making this? most likely ahead of the curve in defining these but i'd say at the nexus we see mass linkage happening on all levels// schematics for advanced

statistical grids - how it all fits together and the I don't know - how the money flows senerios - why is this important and what does it mean / as the money group grows to

be more inclusive and understanding it also begins to lose its finacial gravity / what i mean is / its sphere of influence is disipating and returning to the lowest fraction /

we have children and we take care of them / to a child / a dollar SEEMS like a fortune/ in my estimation this is a token that can elevate our worth/ the same is true

above - money is liquid and digital - collective worth projected into the future and **build here***

19-20 INCOME = 500,000,000 - 1,000,000,000YR

So now we can recognize at any level that we are a part of this greater collective - government and world economies colliding and becoming great ecology of global

interaction and pattern - we are all participating and have the right to participate at this level - the definitions of these greater oceans our undefined and freer -

imagination - your imagination and ability to be included in this growing community and i guess realize how in someway you have one part of yourself in each monetary

plane brings you to equal with all on par

21-22 INCOME = 1,000,000,000 - 500,000,000,000YR

ok National economies and future realities right - something like that - breaking down the connections between not only the first historic line / that of humanity through

all stages of our collective history and the way that each frame of economic equivalence has marked a substantial shift in consciousness but also the 2nd line of

individual growth and the personal comprehension of owns own journey in current time frames through the parallel / this is key really to build on our comprehension of

each domain and escape the confines of time relationships to current moments - noticing that this moment is every moment in history / realize that money is an abstract

nonreactive substance / i don't know what i'm talking about either - but fun stuff all the way - stepping toward extremes of spiritual cognition ok - but mass conspiracies

I'd place here - world controllers - extraterrestrial formulations -- **build here*

23-24 INCOME = 500,000,000,000 - NO NEED FOR MONEY

ok how about this - Heaven is upon the earth for those who will see it kind of stuff - the Kingdom is within - my point here is this - money is no object - Look at Bono on

stage or Mick Jagger bow like to unto the King at the end of a performance - PRICELESSNESS INCARNATE - potential to create I manage... potential to produce unlocked

totally - but I want to make strong the idea that i have in my view that this is a place we are now and to realize this brings can bring all other lines and streams and

others into fruition.. it is the most fun to meditate form me on this.. I am priceless and have unlimited means and so You / like look at the lillies of the field right// wait

- now not only that but in the first frame we are dependent on perceptual exteriors while here we are unplugged and completly dependent on the ultimate source and it

gets all live and let die watching the wheels go round and round perhaps.... yet it is the same source, and everybody knows that from varing degrees of individual

interpretation and this is the junction from which all other stages fall in to inform economy.

For me it is about finding the moment and standing in it completly and feeling totally fufilled and completed as the endless formatlities before us filter through aut aut

aut aut aut.....

In the manner of pricelessness incarnate and all I can do to live life from that calipur of Wit with graceful intent.

Christmas preparations

These 2 photos are of recent Christmas's past.

This was the first year I put the tree under the stairs for a number of years and I kept banging my head on the wooden bit of the stairs so the Oh! Bearded One! gave me his hard hat to protect my head.

As a family we now have a tradition that we go out for a family meal on the Sunday before Christmas. This started a few years ago when I had to work Christmas day and didn't have time to cook Christmas dinner. We've carried it on, even though for the last 2 years and this year too, I haven't worked.
The photo above is at a previous meal. My camera has completely died so I wasn't able to take photos yeaterday. I am hoping Father Christmas will bring me a new one!

How are you doing with your Christmas preparations? My food shopping is done, the presents are wrapped but the assignment isn't written - that's tomorrow's job! At least to get it started. The Oh! Bearded One is going to push the hoover around and wash the kitchen floor for me at some point and I'll feed the washing machine tomorrow but there'll be no ironing done this side of Christmas.
Talking of the Oh! Bearded One - he has had serious problems with his shoulder and neck this year. It turns out he has collasped discs in his neck so on the 28th of January he'll be having surgery to have disc replacement, this is quite a new proceedure so I hope he is going to be OK. I know he is worried.
There hasn't been much crafting going on either but I've been reading blogs and I am planning some projects for the New Year. In January there is a quilt fabric sale fairly locally so I want to plan a couple of quilts for next year and buy the fabric for them. I have managed to finish a knitted hat (no photo) and it has been put in the post to my Sister-in-Law for Christmas and I've nearly finished another one for my best friend in Sheffield. I want to knit on for her eldest daughter, my God-Daughter as well but I've been slowed up by my sore hands and wrists. They are better, I suspect because I've not been knitting.

Husband's surgery sounds scary - wishing him well for that Ailsa - and wishing you and yours all the best for Christmas and the New Year

We always aim to deliver a unique package of development and support to each of the businesses we look after. No two are ever the same, the way we care for each of them is!

Our support is provided throughout the invention process, the planning process, the inception process and the launch process - but crucially we always focus beyond these. Having a website developed for you requires a partner. It is a dynamic process, where things evolve! Whether you

Making a web site work as a business development tool is a permanent requirement, not a tickle and leave process. Our focus on long term client partnerships is reflected in everything we do, within our prices, our attitude and our work.

If potential clients simply want a website, we tend to back off, developing a winning web site is a continuously evolving process and the relationship must be long term, we need a process where we can see this will be allowed to happen.

Trust is an absolute imperative for us. We look to develop it from the start, especially within our clear pricing strategy, where costs are determined up front and are fully known before we commence. No hidden extras, no nasty surprises.

96% of our work, (last time I checked!), is won through word of mouth from our clients recommending us. We seek to keep clients for life through merit, not lock in.

Profile of Ray Le Maistre

Blog Posts: 2

Don't be fooled by the weird cod-French surname: Ray's as British as corned beef and bad teeth, despite affecting a sheen of Continental sophistication by his constant references to fancy-dan "proper" coffee. He's even trained as a barista, for god's sake.

Ray joined Light Reading in 2002 shortly after being shown the door and a very long corridor at Total Telecom. He has been in technology journalism since 1988, having worked at Computer Weekly, Communications WeekInternational and Communications International.

A slave to fashion, Ray is never seen in the same outfit twice. When not trawling the malls of Epsom, U.K., for the latest in skinny jeans and what-have-you, Ray is often to be heard banging on about SPIT (Service Provider Information Technology), which is also known as TATRTCA (The Acronym That Refuses To Catch On).

As a soccer nut, Ray likes nothing better than cheap jibes about Manchester United. If you bump into him at a trade show, be sure to make some remark about prawn-sandwich-eating supporters or similar ? he'll love it!

Polluting Republiscam Industries Need to be STOPPED!

World wide the scientists at hundreds of universities who study the Global Climate have been warning about the coming horrific impacts of climate change.

We are faced with the reality of an increase in extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy. The Greenland Icecap is melting. The Glaciers are melting back. Glacier National Park, once the home of majestic glaciers has very little ice left. (You have to really look and imagine what the Glaciers used to look like. We should rename it "Climate Change Disaster Park."

This summer it was possible to circumnavigate the Earth in less than two weeks via sailboat because the northern Polar Ice Cap was almost gone. (Circumnavigate the north pole, and you have gone around the world. Granted, you don't see much, but you can brag never the less.)

Rising sea levels have allowed storm surges (Large Low Pressure areas raise sea level under storm) to sweep into low-lying regions and erode coastal areas like the New Jersey shoreline and to flood subway tunnels. (I guess it might be possible to swim to work in the morning, but you probably would not be very clean when you got there.)

Added to the rising ocean level and storm surges and flooding rainstorms is the ugly reality of longer and more severe droughts in the more arid parts of the world. We see it in the United States out west, but the rest of the world sees it in expanding deserts in South America (Chili and Peru) Africa, Australia, southern Asia (Arabia to India) and specifically in western China where a lot less land is under cultivation and yet the world population keeps going up and up and up. We are seeing massive heat waves and large wildfires where forests are stressed from lack of water. Dry wood burns more quickly and at hotter temperature in a fire storm and we are seeing more and more firestorms sweeping into housing areas from dry land surrounding them.

The Republiscams who run Big Polluting Industries constantly lie and claim that Global Warming is not happening, yet anybody with a pair of open eyes can see what is happening. Those Republiscams who worship money keep getting special privilege from the agencies that are supposed to regulate them. The regulators are effectively controlled by Big Money.

Dirty Coal and Big Oil have trashed thousands of square miles of beautiful landscape and environment, and are not being forced by the regulating agencies to effectively clean up their messes. There is no effective regulation from the regulating agencies in many other businesses as well. Coal Ash from the coal burning electrical generating companies is piling up all over the country. The regulating agency just sighs and looks the other way, when the country should be hard at work cleaning up those messes either with electrical industry money or with taxpayer money.

We need to be more far more proactive by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and expanding the market for renewable energy and efficiency. Geo Thermal wells for steam could provide 90 percent of the electricity needs of our country if only we set the industry up. It will take Federal Action, but it would help clean our environment from the use of Coal and Petroleum to generate electricity. We could do away entirely with Nuclear Power which has killed untold Millions of Americans with radioactive particulate pollution. If Germany can shut down that horrible industry, why can't we?

The Republiscam Industrialists are destroying our planet in pursuit of bigger and bigger and bigger profits. That's right, they worship money! We need a Congress that has the intestinal fortitude to take on these corrupt people who have been destroying our country and the entire world for their personal profit. We need government agencies that are not run by the Republiscam owned Polluting Industries. In all cases they control the regulating agencies as opposed to the agencies controlling them. This is so damned corrupt and it is not getting any better. Every year more and more people are dying from the pollution and contamination of this small planet.

This election we need to vote against Republiscams to save the planet. We need to repudiate them everywhere.

Go Forth Americans, and kick those sons of bitches out of office and then lets go ahead and rewrite the constitution to prevent the horrible destructive things the Republiscams have done to this country from ever happening again. Amen.

Et quod vidit et audivit hoc testatur et testimonium.

I now have had two people who have contacted me with raised medical insurance rates.

I now have had two people who have contacted me with raised medical insurance rates when they got to the ACA site.

1. Have you written to your Senators and Congressman about what you have uncovered with the horrible corruption at those companies?

2. Have you started a demonstration with a few bricks to be thrown out in front of their buildings?

3. Have you filed a Class Action Lawsuit with any of a thousand Shyster Lawyers who are trying to make a living in Law now that it has become so corrupt?

That is the way you stand up to corruption. My Great Grandfather used to throw firebombs and was very effective in getting results so he was called on many times when management was hiring off duty policemen to shoot strikers.

If you do not stand up, you will be stepped on by the Criminals who think they have privileged keisters. You need to plant your foot firmly in their keisters. Go for it! Do not take crap like that from the Criminal Republiscams. It is time to fight back and do it with dramatic style. Do not let them victimize you. Scare them into acting like responsible companies in Public Service. They are, you know. Just because they are run by Republiscams does not mean they can get away with Grand Theft.

The ACA does not set prices. Socialized Medicine like in England would. Note that the Republiscams loudly broadcast their opinion (prophecy) that insurance premiums will not be affordable, and then promptly set out to raise Insurance premiums to rip off the public so that their prophecy comes true and they make lots of money. If you accept their corruption, then you are an enabler of the criminal Reich Wing. We need to work together to tear down the Reich Wing Nazi Republiscams and all of their corrupt money generating plans.

Rise up America! Awake! Let's throw off the shackles of oppression by the Nazi Republiscams. Cruz and his criminal buddies be damned!

Republiscams = Republic Scammers = Criminals who scam the government for personal financial gain. = Traitors (Murderers, Liars, Thieves!)

They are Fat Cat Industrialists, Bankers and Politicians of any party who have taken over our country for the practice of their religion which is the worship of money and the massive accumulation of same.

Mother says she agreed to starve son to rid him of demonic spirit

The mother of a dead child testified Wednesday that she agreed to starve her toddler son, who refused to say “amen,” to rid him of a demonic spirit that was potentially placed there when her own mother offered the boy up to the devil.

Ria Ramkissoon, 23, also said she has faith that God will resurrect her son, Javon Thompson, and she’s not afraid to say so, even if it makes her sound crazy. [...]

Ramkissoon has pleaded guilty to child abuse resulting in death, and expects to receive a 20-year suspended sentence, along with inpatient counseling and five years of probation.

Her official sentencing has been repeatedly postponed in anticipation of her testimony Wednesday against three other defendants who are accused of running a religious cult and are charged with murder in 16-month-old Javon’s death.

On trial in Baltimore City Circuit Court are accused cult leader Queen Antoinette, 41, her daughter, Trevia Williams, 22, and Marcus Cobbs, 23. Antoinette was developing a religious organization called 1 Mind Ministries and had plans to open a shelter for kids, according to testimony.

She ran a religious household that required its members to read the Bible, travel outside in pairs for safety and wear certain colors, namely blue, white and khaki, witnesses have said. [...more...]

Ramkissoon said Antoinette told her that her son, Javon Thompson, had a ‘’spirit of rebellion” inside him and that denying him food would excise the evil spirit. She said she had no reason to think Antoinette was lying.

After Javon died, Antoinette told Ramkissoon to ”nurture him back to life,” and she stayed beside his decomposing body for weeks, even trying to give him water, Ramkissoon said.

”I still believe that my son is coming back,” Ramkissoon said. ”I have no problem saying what really happened because I believe he’s coming back.

”Queen said God told her he would come back. I believe it. I choose to believe it,” she said. ”Even now, despite everything, I choose to believe it for my reasons.” [...]

Under cross-examination, Antoinette asked whether her statement about not feeding Javon was an order or a ‘’suggestion.”

Ramkissoon said she has consistently told prosecutors and her attorney that she was not forced to starve her son, but she made clear the idea was Antoinette’s.

”When I was about to feed him,” Ramkissoon said to Antoinette, ”you said, ‘You shouldn’t feed him anything,’ and then you told me why. … I believed you.”

The former boyfriend of an alleged religious cult leader testified Tuesday that he encouraged the mother of a starving 1-year-old boy to feed the child.

Steven L. Bynum took the stand at the trial of Queen Antoinette, her daughter and another man. The three are accused of denying food and water to toddler Javon Thompson after the boy did not say “Amen” before a meal. [...]

Bynum was initially charged along with the other followers in Javon’s death, but prosecutors formally dropped the charges Tuesday. He did not make any deal in exchange for his testimony.

Javon’s grandmother, Seeta Khadan-Newton, also testified Tuesday about her efforts to get her daughter and Javon away from the group. After living with the group for just two days, her daughter was “emotionless” and did not return a hug from her, she said.

As they cross-examined the witnesses, Antoinette, Williams and Cobbs appeared to take exception at the characterization of their group as a cult. The three defendants are representing themselves.
“Where did you come up with or where did you hear that we were a cult?” Antoinette asked Khadan-Newton.

Khadan-Newton cited the group’s restrictions on what its members wore and on their movement outside the residence. “In my head, that’s a cult,” she said.

Guiding Light

In newFNP's dreams, her clinic would utilize the in-speculum pap light.  What a world of difference those lights make.

Alas, despite her pleas, newFNP's clinic employs the bulky swan-neck pap light and right now newFNP's clinic is experiencing an epidemic of pap light demise.  The storage closet is a pap light graveyard.  Is it simply an issue of a burned out bulb?  Did the lights just collectively decide to throw in the towel after years of vag lighting?  NewFNP doesn't know, but what she does know is that she needs to put some light on the subject when it's pappy time.

Twice today, newFNP sat down on her rolly stool and went to grab the light only to discover that it wasn't in its corner.  (One may wonder what this says about newFNP's powers of observation that she was already ready to roll before she noticed that the light wasn't there.)

The first time, newFNP tasked her MA to scrounge up a light.

The second time, newFNP said "fuck it," put the speculum in place and grabbed the otoscope from the wall, aimed it towards the center and identified the cervix.  After all, it's not as though the vagina is some vast cavern and one needs some type of spelunking light by which to guide the journey.  The anatomy basically regresses to the mean.  Thankfully, her patient today was no anatomical outlier.

NewFNP is nothing if not handy in a pinch.

the worst is when a clinic literally uses goose neck floor lamps... glorified desk lamps that cover the entire view field and make anything but the most simple procedure impossible.

Our clinic's clip on table lamps have had another issue other then burn out/disappearance, obese patients use them as an assistance device to rise from supine position (much to my dismay and despite my multiple warnings that "that light is not a handle"), and therefore, the lights no longer remain in any position desired, but instead, move of their own free will in the most awkward moments. I have done SO many IUD inserts and paps while holding the light in place with my forehead :

ahhhhh....commmunity health...what a joy.

ps....we did get two of those nice in speculum lights from a rep once, but they were both stolen within a week.

If you haven't already, could you write some posts about how you decided to do the accelerated Nurse Practitioner over doing the accelerated BSN program? Is it worth the extra time and cost? Is your salary much higher?

Also, you may consider organizing your posts by labeling them under different categories. That way, readers, and yourself, can be more efficient in perusing your wonderful blog.

Great suggestion -- done!

Oh Lord, the in-exam room lighting situation. We also have the large-as-the-sun goose neck lamps, which swivel on their base, free of reason or direction. Like Beth, I have had to utilize my forehead, nose, chin as guiding devices to help keep the light shining at the intended target. We had the speculum lights for 2 weeks until someone, unsure which lovely government organization, deemed them unsanitary and so, they went the way of the dumpster. The blessed lighted speculum will forever remain a dream that I will continue to wish for.

is everyone using plastic speculums? i just have such an issue with the waste that i prefer the old timey metal ones, even if the light situation is silly at best.

Abby said...

I bet your graveyard of pap lamps exists because its seen so much CEPHALUS! That can be wearing after a while. P.S. LOVE your blog, I'm just starting NP school and I thoroughly enjoy your humor!

our clinic uses little "glow sticks" that you shake and stick to the inside of the plastic speculum...never need to worry about a burned out bulb ever again!

Brain's network may provide insights into neurological disorders

Media Contact

Krystle Lopez
eigenmodes of the brain’s network
Ashish Raj
A few of the most important eigenmodes of the brain’s network obtained from healthy subjects. These eigenmodes are robust in healthy and diseased subjects. Spheres represent brain regions; their colors are meant to capture the spatial pattern of the eigenmode: red is high positive, and blue is high negative.

A deeper understanding of the brain’s connectivity network of neurons and its relationship to the organ’s deep tissue could allow researchers to predict brain spatial patterns and recognize what processes relate to neurological disorders, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of California, San Francisco.

In their study, published June 22 in PLoS Computational Biology, the investigators used mathematics and a form of magnetic resonance imaging called Diffusion-Tensor MRI to better understand how neurological disorders affect the connections between the brain’s deep white matter and its network of fibers, whose connectivity patterns are called the structural connectome. They discovered subnetworks that make up the connectome, called eigenmodes, which have a unique role in communicating information from one region of the brain to another.

“Once you understand what the eigenmodes look like, you can then start to understand what processes occur in the brain and what patterns of activity to expect,” said senior author Ashish Raj, associate professor of computer science in radiology and of neuroscience in the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Conventional wisdom suggests that each region of the brain plays a specific functional role – from motor coordination to the creativity and artistic expression requisite for poetry – and damage to these regions affects patients accordingly. But recent studies have eschewed that philosophy, finding instead that the brain is more than the sum of its parts.

Raj described the brain’s connectome as a series of pipes through which information flows. The connectome’s constituent parts – its eigenmodes – are “similar to the vibrations on a guitar,” he said. The researchers performed MRIs on 10 healthy subjects and found that these eigenmodes are ubiquitous with high overlap between subjects and between scans of the same subject performed on different days.

“The eigenmodes wouldn’t be useful if they weren’t consistent, so this was an important finding,” he said.

Raj and his team then investigated what part of the brain’s white matter region “acts as an anchor” for the eigenmodes; they did this by virtually simulating lesions, which would damage the brain and disrupt network connections. They determined where lesions were most critical in terms of how they affected the eigenmodes and found that the most neurologically important areas of the brain – the parts which produced the highest change in eigenmodes – were at the center of white matter fiber bundles.

The researchers also studied how eigenmodes might change in impaired brains. They investigated a neurodevelopmental disorder called agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC), where the corpus callosum, which connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain, is absent.

“Normally if two halves of a brain do not talk to each other, the brain will not be able to function properly. But it turns out most people with agenesis of the corpus callosum don’t have tremendously impaired brains,” Raj said.

To determine why this was the case, the researchers studied the eigenmodes in brains with AgCC and found that they were not significantly different from those in healthy brains. Instead it appeared that some of the network connections in brains with AgCC regenerated from an alternative pathway, which compensated for the lack of corpus callosum.

“We expected their eigenmode structure to be completely alien compared to healthy controls,” Raj said. “That was the biggest surprise of the paper.”

Raj plans to study eigenmodes further with the hope that they can soon act as biomarkers for disease. “If the structure of the eigenmode is changed by disease, then it can be used to measure the effects of disease,” he said.

Politicos give mixed reactions on Hurriyat leaders arrested for money laundering

Sharing is Caring

Srinagar/New Delhi, July 24 (ANI): National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested seven Hurriyat leaders, six persons from Srinagar and one from New Delhi, in money laundering case. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Khalid Jahangir said his party’s stand towards terrorism is very clear that there will be no compromise on national security. Hailing NIA’s action against the separatist leaders, Shiv Sena leader Anil Desai said nation wants that there should be stringent legal proceeding against the arrested leaders. Meanwhile, Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir said that law should do its work but BJP is using NIA and other agencies for its own political benefits.

Duterte: I am ready to face ICC, impeachment

/ 04:49 PM March 19, 2017

DAVAO CITY –President Duterte said on Sunday he  was not afraid of being sued before the International Criminal Court or being impeached.

He indicated he would be ready for anything.

“But I will not be intimidated by ICC, impeachment,” he said.

The President, speaking to reporters before flying to Myanmar, said he “welcomed both developments.”

“They can do their worst, I can do better in my performance as a worker in government, period. This is a democracy,” he said.

Duterte said if it was his time to go, nobody could prevent it. “If that is part of my destiny, it is my destiny to go,” he added.

Duterte said he has been focusing on fulfilling his campaign promise to eliminate corruption, drugs and criminality.

“I will deliver on my promises, even if it would cost me my life, my honor, and the presidency. I can lose them all but I will comply with my promise,” he said. “The drive against corruption, the drive against criminality and drugs will resume and it will continue,” he added. In response to criticisms against his war on drugs, Mr. Duterte said “it will be brutal if we do not understand the role of government.”

“Suppression includes all. Drop the shabu if you want to be alive. If you do not want trouble with government, stop trafficking. It’s as simple as that. I will not  for a moment be out of focus on that,” he said.  SFM/rga

The most usual symptoms of diabetes type 2 are frequently bathroom visits, haze in the hands and the feet and voracious thirst. Yet, there are other hidden and silent symptoms that are pointing in sugar level issues. In this article you will learn about 5 unexpected symptoms of diabetes.

  1. Loud and often snoring

Osama Hamdy, MD, director of inpatient diabetes management at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston states that approximately half of type 2 patients are experiencing sleep-disarrayed breathing. If you notice loud snoring through the night or daytime sleepiness, you should check your sugar levels. According to a study that took place in Canada, 23% of patients are diagnosed with moderate or mild stiffing (sleep apnea) which is a usual sleep disarray, are having a risk from diagnosing diabetes in 5 ½ years. The link between this two conditions is not yet clear, but there is certainly one relation. Because of the sleep-disarrayed breathing, stress hormones are released while we sleeping which are increasing the blood sugar levels.

  1. Unpleasant skin changes

The skin changes are showing you that there is a problem with your blood sugar levels. If some dark blemishes are appearing on the folds of your skin, usually on the elbows, joints or the back of the neck, you should test your sugar levels because this is a symptom of high sugar levels. According to Sanjiy Saini, MD, a dermatologist in Egarwater, Maryland, despite the skin disarray (acanthosis nigricans) could be related with genetics or hormonal conditions, they can be a symptom of increased blood sugar levels too. He said that increased insulin amounts are stimulating the growth of skin cells and melanin, which is a pigment in the cells and gives the dark color of the blemishes. He also states that the test may prove that the patient is already facing diabetes or it will just point that the sugar levels are increased, which means that the patient has some risk of diagnosing diabetes. With losing at least 10 pounds the patient will reduce the blood sugar levels, or the dermatologist can use a laser therapy or topical retina A in order to treat it.

  1. The hearing is not as it used to be

If you have difficulties to finish a conversation without needing a repetition or you need to increase the volume on the TV, you should visit your doctor in order to make a blood sugar test. A study by the National Institute of Health states that hearing loss can be a hidden sign of diabetes. Experts are stating that diabetes is harming the blood vessels and the nerves of the inner ear, which results in poor hearing. In the individuals where the blood sugar is raised, the risk of facing some hearing issues is 30% higher than the individuals with normal and healthy sugar levels.

  1. Sudden improvement of the vision

Some people are thinking that it is a good thing when they are getting rid of their glasses suddenly. Howard Baum, MD, an assistant professor of medicine in the diabetes division at Vanderbilt University, claims that foggy vision is usually considered as a diabetes symptom, which is not veracious because the vision can change for both better and worse. “Some patients told me that their vision has bettered when their blood sugars were raised, and then after they begin treating their diabetes, they needed their glasses again- he said. Diabetes impacts vision in the following way- it stimulates fluid levels in the body to move around (including the eyes) which later leads to changeable vision.

  1. Unrelenting itchiness

You shouldn’t be ashamed to visit your doctor if you are experiencing constant scratching. It is very possible that it is related with diabetes. As a matter of fact, diabetes decreases the circulation which is causing dryness and itchiness of the skin. Dr. Baum states that some of his newly diagnosed patients are saying that they are experiencing itchiness on their extremities-hands, lower legs and feet, so he recommends that the doctors should consider the relation between itchiness and other symptoms. In case you are experiencing constant scratching and you can’t help yourself with a moisturizer, you should visit your doctor as soon as possible.

Champions League quarter final draw: Leicester face another trip to Spain

Champions League quarter final draw: Leicester face another trip to Spain

With the tie against the Germans flying in the face of such an idea, the Frenchman said: "I'm just smiling. It is a big advantage for the teams in Europe whereas for us, it is very tough". I've seen her return to Man City - that was convincing.

The Champions League quarter-final draw will be shown exclusively live on BT Sport and you can live stream or watch it on TV as the final eight learn their fate.

Both Madrid and Bayern are also now leading the standings in their respective domestic leagues. "The whole world will be watching these two games". It is a very homogenous team with a great individual class and an outstanding coach.

England's only remaining representatives Leicester will take on La Liga side Atletico, who have been runners-up in two of the last three Champions League finals.

Atletico were far from their best at the Vicente Calderon as they relied on a stunning triple save from goalkeeper Jan Oblak to prevent just a second Champions League defeat in the past four seasons.

"Bayern are one of the worst opponents we could have drawn". We know it is a warm atmosphere in the stadium. We know how hard it's going to be.

"They won't be scared of us, they have a good side and they are doing well, it is going to be attractive for the clubs and for football fans", he concluded.

"You need to be at your best for 180 minutes or more to overcome Barca", warned Juventus vice-president and former midfield general Pavel Nedved.

"We have a great relationship".

Now Zinedine Zidane is at the helm at real, and does things his way, but Ancelotti's not fazed. "It's a hard match", said Dortmund chairman Hans Watzke. "But we'll play our own game, try and win it our way", said the Portuguese. I've not spoken with him [since the draw]. "I'm excited by these kinds of ties".

The latter is something neither Bayern Munich nor Borussia Dortmund want.

The Foxes' progress on their debut in Europe's elite club competition has gone some way to rivalling the shock value of their Premier League triumph. We are ready for it.

"That said, they also know what it means to visit us in the Allianz Arena".

Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti will face his former club and defending champions Real Madrid while rank outsider Leicester City meets Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid.

To Do: Inspire

This week I talked about moms and inspiration. Today, let's bundle it all together and let me tell you about two moms who I just find to be two of the most inspiring people I've ever met! I tell you their stories not to bring about sadness, but to share why I have so much admiration for them.

First I met Bridget, oh gee, maybe 10 years ago. Bridget and Matt were in the same dorm at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville freshman year. At some point, they ended up sharing an apartment (just they tell me). Years later, I finally got to meet this spit-fire Irish gal I had heard so much about in person (along with some of my family who they too thought they had to be a part of this), and years later we attended her beautiful wedding in St. Louis. It was obvious that day that Bridget was just smitten with her husband, Mike.

A little over a year ago we were excited to hear (thanks to connecting via Facebook) that Bridget and Mike had just become parents to a little girl named Faith. What we didn't know was that the journey to Faith's arrival had already been a long journey. Faith was born with an SOX2 gene mutation resulting in bilateral microphthalmia, leading to minimal eye development. Faith also fights other battles including hearing loss (but fortunately is not deaf as once suspected), sleep issues, and general developmental delays. Her diagnosis is so rare--only in about 1 in 10,000 births. Bridget and Mike had learned of this months before delivery, and fittingly named their baby girl, Faith...also known to the blog world as Super Baby Faith.

This spring, I met Hillary. Our husbands work with each other daily, but Hillary and I first met at a horse race. The CAT families had met up at the track, but it was a chilly day, so later we moved inside to find warmer seating. In getting to know each other, Hillary told us that her and her husband had just recently moved to Little Rock from their hometown about 2 hours away. When Matt inquired about their decision to move, Hillary told us it was to bring her daughter to the School for the Blind. Hardly knowing what to say, I told Hillary the story of Bridget. I told her how moved I was by Bridget and how she taught me to look at blindness with a new light. While I had just worked with a variety of children with minor special needs while at my job in South Carolina, I didn't know how trying everyday life was for families. Bridget's blogs about Super Baby Faith taught us about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Do I believe in fate? Absolutely! Because I realized that day that we met both Hillary and Bridget for a reason. My jaw still drops thinking back to when Hillary told me that her daughter, Madilyn, (now age 6) was also born with bilateral anophthalmia---nearly the same thing as Super Baby Faith!

I think raising any child must be trying. But what Bridget and Hillary face every day is unimaginable. Yet, both of them are truly their daughter's caregiver, cheerleader, teacher, advocate, and biggest fan! They both have delved into mountains of research, sought out the best physicians across the country, provided intense therapy, and more. I watched a video Hillary posted of Madilyn's successes with catching a ball (with her head full of adorable curls all over), and I cried because what I saw to be so challenging, was just another proud moment for Hillary. Bridget continues to chronical the ongoing struggles that Faith is faced with daily on her blog Read about the day Bridget learned of Faith's blindness and you'll see why I think she is one amazing mom. Hillary is no different, not only helping her own daughter, but teaching others how to adjust life for a blind child. Her blog is Now that's a smart girl! I hope you too find these moms to be inspiring. Their love for their girls is undeniable and I know they will make sure that their daughters have the absolute best life possible. Through Facebook, we were able to connect them. I hear they are meeting this summer at the International Children's Anophthalmia Network's conference and that truly brings tears to my eyes. Something tells me this meeting was all meant to happen!

Bridget and Hillary--Thank you for letting me tell your story. I have more respect for you than you will ever know!
