Like onlymyhealth on Facebook!

Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. Lung cancer tops the charts of mortality inducing cancers. Even though anti-smoking awareness campaigns have been initiated by the government and NGO’s, the uses of ciggarattes have been increasing ever since.

Each cigarette packet states that smoking is injurious to health; over 50% of the cigarette pack space highlights this message.  Yet, people are smoking. This is due to the addictive nature of tobacco that prevents people from quitting and adds more and more people to this bandwagon.

Few Facts And Figures about Lung Cancer and Tobacco Smoking

  • Nine to 10 people are at an increased risk of developing lung cancer as compared to non smokers.
  • Tobacco smoking is responsible for 87% deaths due to lung cancer in the United States.
  • Men who smoke are 24 times more likely to develop lung cancer as compared to non smokers.
  • Women who smoke are 13 times more prone to developing lung cancer as compared to non smokers.
  • Pack years is the term coined to calculate the risk of developing lung cancer. As, the risk of developing lung cancer is directly proportional to the number of cigarettes smoked.
  • 10% of men and 20% of women who have never smoked are detected with lung cancers.
  • It is estimated that there are approximately 48 million smokers in the US, of which only 23% are adults and 30% are adolescents.
  • People, who haven’t been exposed to tobacco till the age of 21, may never resort to tobacco smoking at all even in the near future.
  • According to Lancet, the British medical journal, the rate of tobacco caused mortality averages to 20% of all death causing agents.
  • Tobacco is the only organic source of nicotine which is an addicting agent.
  • Tobacco contains over 80 carcinogens which comprise of toxins such as cyanide, nicotine, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide.
  • Tobacco use can be implicated in the cancer of lungs, kidney, mouth, breast, cervix, pancreas, ovaries, oesophagus, uterus, liver, and bladder and in the form of leukaemia.
  • Cardiovascular diseases, strokes, bronchitis, sinus are also common fall outs of tobacco smoking.
  • Reproductive complications like premature birth defects, low birth weight babies and miscarriages are consequences faced by women who indulge in tobacco smoking.
  • 2, 21,130 new cases of lung cancer have been detected. Out of which, 1, 15,060 are males and 1, 06,070 are females.
  • 1, 56,940 deaths have occurred from lung cancer. 85,600 detected in men and 71,340 in women.
  • In the United States alone, 4, 43,000 people died of lung cancer during the year 2000 to 2004.
  • Each year 3,500 people who have passively smoked dies of lung cancer due to breathing second hand stroke.

Diagnosis of Acne

By  , Expert Content
Aug 12, 2011

Subscribe for daily wellness inspiration

Like onlymyhealth on Facebook!

Acne is a clinical diagnosis - that is the doctor diagnoses acne based on the appearance of the skin and the lesion.

Doctor diagnosing acneMost people don’t need any tests. Your doctor will examine you and evaluate the type of acne, amount and severity of inflammation, extent of spread and the areas of your body that are affected. Acne on the basis of severity can be classified in four grades.

Grade I:This is the mildest form of acne and there are relatively few blackheads, whiteheads and occasionally minor pimples. Inflammation is usually absent and it can be treated with over-the-counter medicines.

Grade II (moderate acne): The skin has greater number of blackheads and whiteheads, and pimples and pustules are also present. It may get cured with over-the-counter products, but if you don’t notice improvement after six to eight weeks, consult a doctor.

Grade III (Moderate to severe acne):
The extent of inflammation in Grade III acne is more than Grade II. More papules and pustules are present and more redness and inflammation is found on the skin. Occasional nodules may be present. Consult your dermatologist if you have several papules and pustules with lot of redness and inflammation.

Grade IV –
This is the most severe grade of acne. There are several pustules, nodules, and cysts with extensive redness and inflammation. Blackheads and whiteheads are also frequent. This grade of acne, is also called cystic acne. You should consult a dermatologist for treatment.

Acne Look-alikes: Some lesions or problems of the skin can look very similar to acne, but the cause and treatment are different. Some common conditions which might resemble acne include rosacea, folliculitis, keratosis pilaris, miliaria rubra.If you are not sure if your problem is acne or some other acne look-alike then you must consult your doctor. The doctor will most definitely help you overcome any kind of hesitation you experience when facing the public in case you suffer from Grade IV acne.

American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) states that there are many effective acne treatments. This does not mean that every acne treatment works for everyone who has acne. But it does mean that virtually every case of acne can be controlled.

People who have mild acne have a few blemishes. They may have whiteheads, blackheads, papules, and/or pustules (aka pimples). Many people can treat mild acne with products that you can buy without a prescription. A product containing benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid often clears the skin. This does not mean that the acne will clear overnight.

Despite the claims, acne treatment does not work overnight. At-home treatment requires 4-8 weeks to see improvement. Once acne clears, you must continue to treat the skin to prevent breakouts.

If you have a lot of acne, cysts, or nodules, a medicine that you can buy without a prescription may not work. If you want to see clearer skin, you should see a dermatologist.

Global OER Graduate Network (GO-GN)

The Global OER Graduate Network is a network of PhD candidates around the world who are conducting their doctoral research on an aspect of open education.

The aims of GO-GN are:

  • To raise the profile of research into open education
  • To support those conducting their PhD studies in this area
  • To develop openness as a process of research

GO-GN works towards not only connecting and supporting PhD researchers but also establishing a community of practice. With the aim of promoting interaction and a sense of belonging, and encouraging diversity and collaboration, we engage in the following activities:

  1. An annual face-to-face seminar where students have the chance to present their work, receive feedback from peers and experts, and explore together what it means to be an open researcher and how research can be conducted in the open.
  2. A monthly webinar is hosted on the first Wednesday of every month, where PhD candidates and established researchers present and discuss their work. These webinars are recorded and represent an opportunity for all interested in open education to keep abreast of current initiatives and research.
  3. Active collaboration with other networks, such as the ICDE Global Doctoral Consortium, with whom we share a focus of study (online, open, flexible and technology enhanced learning and open education) and the practice of doing online and open research.
  4. An active presence on social media, especially Twitter (@GOGN_OER, #GO_GN).

Our website (http://go-gn.net) acts as a hub for the network, containing outputs by our members demonstrating the growing research field, and researcher resources produced or assembled by the community, for use by all.

No, it requires reindexing any attribute that uses the integer matching rules. Note that in OpenLDAP 2.4, you can selectively re-index only the attributes you are interested in updating the indices for. So you can do something like:

slapindex -q -t <attr1> <attr2>

See the examples section of:

Actually, as I noted here http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200712/msg00193.html you also need to reindex any attribute that uses presence indexing.

Okay, so all presence indexes, and all attributes that are indexed and use the integer matching rules. Which still (hopefully) is less than everything. ;)

valgrind seems to indicate that the leak occurs in OpenSSL (6,214 bytes
are lost each connection with TLS and client certificates).

That said, I find it odd that 2.3.43, linked against the same OpenSSL,
does not show this leak.  2.4.6 and up (though I did not test .7-.10) do
show the leak.  I'm still trying to explain that.

Funkenspektrometrische Stickstoffbestimmung in niedriglegierten Stählen unter Berücksichtigung der Einzelfunkenspektrometrie Spark Spectrometric Nitrogen Determination in Low-Allow Steels under Consideration of Single Spark Spectrometry

by Niederstraßer, Jörg

Abstract (Summary)
This paper deals with the possibilities of using spark emission spectrometry to determine nitrogen contents in low-alloy steels. Several spectrometers, whose installation sites include two automatic laboratories at Thyssen Krupp Stahl AG in Duisburg, were used to carry out the practical work. Once the appropriate analysis line had been selected and the excitation conditions had been optimised, calibrations were carried out and spectral intereferences and analytic performance data were determined. Finally, the analysis results obtained from the production samples during manual and automatic operation were compared using the carrier gas hot extraction method, which is the standard reference method. Single spark spectrometry forms another focus. This makes it possible to register and evaluate the intensities of every single spark transfer. It also enables information to be obtained concerning the qualitative and quantitative composition of inclusions in steel, e.g. nitrides. The decomposition behaviour of inclus ons over time was analysed by spark discharges with the help of both SEM-EDX and single spark spectrometry.

Portable thermometer for demanding portable measurements

Portable thermometers for demanding portable measurements

The Optris portable thermometers are characterized by combining a modern industrial design with outstanding technical parameter. The high-class precision lenses assure the precise measurement of objects in short or long distances. The portable thermometer optris LS LT consists of a one of a kind, switchable lens. This means that smallest objects can be measured in a close-up range as well as in mean distances.

Portable thermometer optris LS LT

The portable thermometers of the optris MS series consist of a single point laser to mark the middle of the measuring field. All additional devices to this series feature an innovative laser sight concept. This means that the radiation takes place within the infrared optical measurement course of beam and marks the accurate measurement field in every distance. For the portable pyrometer optris P20 (1M / 2M) this is carried out by a double laser sight whilst the optris LS LT consists of worldwide patented cross hair laser sight system.

Portable pyrometer optris P20

All portable thermometers come with an LCD color alarm. This alarm offers to visualize an under-run over over-run of a defined temperature barrier with varying colors of the display background. The display of the optris LS LT can also flip according to the beholders position (integrated absolute position transducer).

The complete portable pyrometer series consists of an USB interface. Temperature graduation can be displayed and recorded at a PC in connection with the optris Connect software.

Detailed information of the individual devices can be found on the following pages.

not enough yet

Wednesday, March 15th, 2017

I’m going back tomorrow to get more hair taken off. At first I was thinking I’d have Heidy shave up higher along the side and try to convince her I ought to get her time and skill free of charge, but then realized it was more a case of my changing perspective than of her giving me an unsatisfactory result which would really be the only warrant to get anything free. Also, she’s been my stylist for as long as I’ve lived here and totally could be charging me more than she does anyway…no need to chance a perfectly good relationship!

Here’s the three options I’m looking at. I know they’re all quite different for one another. From the girl with the Pokémon tattoo being the most extreme to the girl with the dangle earing to the heavy layers on top early 2000’s do.

My 9 year old says that the Pokémon cut would make me look like a psychopath, so that one may be marked off as an alter ego. As for heavy bangs, I’ve done that before, although I had less side layers and remember not liking it…that was way back 6 or so years done by me during a growing out time as a reaction to being self conscious about my high hairline. And on the subject of hairlines, the sidecut going all the way up to my natural part on the one side would accentuate my widows peak.

At any rate, I’ll post pictures on Friday.

COUNT operator is redundant anyway. Everything could be done with SUM and proper view inlining. In fact SUM fits more naturally in the example above. "COUNT DISTINCT empno" is equivalent to

select SUM(1) from (

    select distinct empno from emp

LocusID: 4919 Cytogenetic: 1p31.3
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor that modulates neurite growth in the central nervous system. The encoded protein is a glycosylated type I membrane protein that belongs to the ROR subfamily of cell surface receptors. It is a pseudokinase that lacks catalytic activity and may interact with the non-canonical Wnt signalling pathway. This gene is highly expressed during early embryonic development but expressed at very low levels in adult tissues. Increased expression of this gene is associated with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012].

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains a distinct 3' UTR and lacks an in-frame portion of the 3' coding region, compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (2) has a shorter C-terminus that lacks a tyrosine kinase catalytic domain, compared to isoform 1.

Real deer make surprise visit to holiday decorations

A motion-activated camera with infrared capabilities recently caught a family of wild deer checking out a familiar Christmas decoration.

The deer, including an eight-point buck, circled a reindeer display in a Longwood neighborhood. In the video that can be seen on OrlandoSentinel.com/Florida360, a doe can be seen nudging the decoration.

The video camera was triggered by the deer’s movements about 3:45 a.m.

Deion Sanders, critic of NFL concussion suits, seeks workers' comp

During the pregame show before February's Super Bowl in New Orleans, Deion Sanders shared his thoughts about the thousands of former football players filing concussion lawsuits against the National Football League.

"The game is a safe game," the television analyst and Hall of Fame cornerback said. "I don't buy all these guys coming back with these concussions. I'm not buying all that. Half these guys are trying to make money off the deal."

What Sanders didn't say was that more than two years earlier he had filed a workers' compensation claim in California, alleging head trauma and other injuries incurred while playing for the Dallas Cowboys.

DOCUMENT: Deion Sanders' workers comp filing

The case is pending, but in November 2010, Sanders was determined to be 86% disabled by the Division of Workers' Compensation, case documents show. Four doctors who examined the former star diagnosed more than a dozen medical conditions, including cognitive impairment and behavioral/emotional disorder. The review also said Sanders suffered from arthritis and "arousal disorder," a sleep impairment.

Sanders is one of a host of current NFL employees, including at least six other NFL Network analysts and dozens of assistant coaches and team personnel, who have made such claims, The Times has found.

The filings from its own employees underscore the depth and complexity of a head injury problem that the NFL is trying hard to put to rest. As the league opens its season this week, it's pushing legislation in Sacramento that would halt most workers' comp claims by athletes. That would dramatically limit its financial exposure to concussions and other brain trauma, which have been linked to dementia and other debilitating illnesses.

GRAPHIC: Injury claims by NFL players

Last week, the league agreed to pay $765 million to settle federal lawsuits filed by more than 4,500 former players and their families. Those suits alleged that the athletes were not properly informed of the risks of brain injury in professional football.

By some estimates, it could cost NFL teams significantly more — perhaps as much as $1 billion — to resolve the nearly 4,000 workers' compensation claims pending against them in California, many of which allege brain trauma.

"Those kinds of cases are driving their concerns," said Frank Neuhauser, executive director of the Center for the Study of Social Insurance at UC Berkeley. Resolving the most serious cases, involving dementia or Alzheimer's disease, "can be millions of dollars and can involve 10, 20, 30 years of medical care and income support."

FULL LIST: Who is on the claims list

The legislation, AB 1309, is expected to face a state Senate vote in the next few days, after passing the Assembly in May. If approved and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, it would exclude professional football, baseball, ice hockey, basketball and soccer players from making most new claims if they did not play for California teams.

The filings by Sanders and other NFL employees were found by The Times as part of an analysis of state workers' compensation data. It found that since 2006 almost 4,400 athletes had filed claims here alleging serious brain or head injuries, with nearly 80% of them coming from former football players.

More than 2,300 former football players with claims in California are also plaintiffs in the federal concussion lawsuits, the Times analysis found. Among them are numerous athletes who committed suicide — including Dave Duerson and Ray Easterling — and were subsequently diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a severe brain disease linked to repeated blows to the head.

Sanders could not be reached for comment. His agent, Reed Bergman, said he had no comment, as did Sanders' workers' compensation attorney, Mel Owens. A spokesman for NFL Network also declined to discuss the claims.

In addition to Sanders, four former players who now serve as on-air talent for NFL Network — Brian Baldinger, Bucky Brooks, Willie McGinest and Darren Sharper — have claims pending that allege head or brain trauma. NFL Network analysts Marshall Faulk and Michael Irvin also filed such claims and received cash settlements from their former teams in 2011.

At least 43 current NFL assistant coaches or front office personnel have also made injury claims against their former teams, the Times review found. Among them are New York Jets assistant head coach Anthony Lynn, New England Patriots linebackers coach Pepper Johnson and the senior personnel executive for the Green Bay Packers, Alonzo Highsmith.

All but three of those filings, which were made in the last six years, allege brain or head trauma, among other injuries.

An additional 15 former players now working for NFL teams, including the general manager of the Oakland Raiders, the offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings and the defensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans, made workers' compensation claims in California before 2006, data show.

Filings against former teams by current employees are not unique to football. Three analysts for pro baseball's MLB Network, for example, have filed injury claims in the Golden State in recent years.

Under current California workers' compensation law, athletes who played as little as one game in the state have been allowed to pursue injury claims against their former teams. Claimants are evaluated by doctors and, if they are found to be disabled, may receive financial compensation as well as medical care.

Although workers' compensation is administered by states, it essentially functions as a private insurance program. Awards are paid by employers or their insurance companies, not taxpayers. Employees who are injured at work may file for workers' compensation, but they cannot sue in civil court.

California is one of a handful of states that recognize so-called cumulative injuries, incurred over time, a category that includes brain trauma. It also allows some players to file years or even decades after their careers are over, because of a notification provision that most teams failed to follow. That has made it the forum of choice for retired athletes in recent years.

"All of our efforts have focused on dealing with the principal focus: dealing with the California problem," said Brook Gardiner, a labor attorney for the NFL. With $10 billion in annual revenue, the NFL is by far the highest-grossing sports league in the U.S.

Gardiner said the league commissioned a study last year that found that each pending claim cost it, on average, $215,000 to resolve.

The NFL, which has been joined in its lobbying efforts by five other major sports leagues, has argued that the claims clog the courts and could raise workers' compensation insurance rates for other businesses. That message has been embraced by legislators; in May the Assembly voted 61 to 4 to pass the bill.

But workers' compensation experts say the athlete claims wouldn't affect the premiums of other companies because rates are set on an industry-by-industry basis. Football injuries, for example, have no bearing on premiums paid by construction contractors.

And although the volume of athlete claims has risen substantially in the last half-dozen years, the Times analysis found that claims by out-of-state athletes represented about 0.5% of all claims filed since 2006.

Meanwhile, critics of the legislation point out that California's Franchise Tax Board collects more than $200 million a year in income taxes from professional athletes, a substantial portion of which comes from those who play for out-of-state teams with games or practices here.

"There's no other state I know of that gives players a chance to make their grievances heard," said Ned Ehrlich, associate general counsel for the NFL Players Assn. "It's a shame we have to fight over something like this, because it's so minuscule compared to the amount of money NFL teams are bringing in."

Times staff reporters Armand Emamdjomeh and Marc Lifsher contributed to this report.

IconSo, the E3 is well under way, and all the major players have had their press conferences. To summarise. Microsoft: Kinect. Really. Kinect. Please Kinect. We'll do anything. For the love of god, Kinect. Sony: wait, what is this? What am I doing here? Oh, here's a 24" 3D TV for $500 and yet another PSP. Nintendo: we slapped every possible shiny object onto a tablet and made the Wii capable of rendering halfway decent graphics. Here's another load of Mariozelda Kart, and a bunch of EA games that Xbox/PS3 players already own. Yes, this year's E3 has been a massive letdown - save for a few exceptions. Update: Epic fail for Nintendo. The company has admitted that it has used footage from the Xbox 360 and PS3 to spice up the press reel for the Wii U.

I was afraid this year's E3 was going to be a bit of a letdown. Now that everyone's Wii is collecting dust in the closet and Sony and Microsoft jumped onto the me-too!-bandwagon of motion controls, it was inevitable that this year's E3 would focus on those toys. Other than that - cows. Lots and lots of cows.

Cows? Yes, cows. You see, cows re-chew their food. They basically eat stuff, puke in their mouths, chew some more, and then swallow it again. This, together with their complicated digestive tract, makes it possible for cows to digest difficult types of food. Well, this E3, we got to see lots and lots of re-chewing going on. Basically 95% of all content we got to see, game-wise, were either sequels, sequels to sequels, prequels, prequels to prequels, or remakes.

Let's start with Microsoft. As I said, the basic gist of their entire press conference was their motion controller camera Kinect thing, Kinectifying a whole load of games. As was to be expected, EA is all over this thing, and several of its yearly cash-in games (i.e., their sports games) will all be Kinectified. Forza Motorsport 4, a racing game of which there apparently have already been 3, will also be Kinectified. There's also a new Kinect Tom Glancy game coming up, Ghost Recon (don't let the lack of numbers fool you - this is technically Ghost Recon 9, if I'm counting right), and in fact, all future Tom Clancy games will be Kinectified.

So far, a big snore, since none of these games are even remotely interesting. They're the CSI of gaming - it's bad, but I can see how it can be mildly entertaining after a hard day of work where you just want to sit down, shut off your brain, grab a beer, and relax.

But then.

Fable IV: The Journey. A Kinect-only game that only shares the setting - Albion - with its somewhat entertaining predecessors. Instead of an action-RPG-heavy-on-the-action, it's now a rail shooter controlled by Kinect gestures. Or something. But hey, I was already sick of the Fable franchise about ten minutes into Fable III, so I won't really be missing anything here.

No, the big shocker for me was my beloved BioWare. My number one games studio, creator of my best game of this console generation (Dragon Age) and second best game of this generation (Mass Effect). Now that EA has firmly entrenched itself into BioWare, the faeces have hit the fan hard. Mass Effect 2 was already somewhat of a letdown, with its non-existent story (compared to the first one), and dumbed-down, sightly repetitive and incredibly simple combat.

The final drop for me, however, was Dragon Age II - a game I looked forward to more than anything, but it turned out to be a rush-job, with no story (except for the last 30 minutes in order to sell you DA III), billions of repetitive encounters with the same dudes in the same three locations, and several gameplay alterations that favoured button mashing over the careful, tactical, party-based, almost RTS-like approach of the first Dragon Age. On the other hand, Merrill. It was one heck of a boring game.

And now we have come full circle. Or at least, BioWare has. They announced that Mass Effect III, too, will be Kinectified. Instead of selecting your dialog options with the dialog wheel, you can now speak them out loud. Instead of a button to send your squad mates forward, you can now use voice control. Instead of carefully ordering your squad mates to use certain powers on specific enemies, you can now blindly let them use powers on whoever's standing closest. Of course, you'll still be able to use the old ways, but this Kinect nonsense is inevitably cutting into the development time and money of other aspects of the game - which, if ME2 and DA2 are any indication, probably means even less RPG elements, and even more Gears of War.

Speaking of Gears of War, there's a part 3 coming out later this year, and it's basically more of the same. Gears of War is clearly one of those CSI games I mentioned, but I have to admit even I found part two pretty functional, and quite enjoyable with a friend in co-op. Sure, there's no depth or any form of sophistication, but it works, and this time around, I can finally be a girl Gear too. It won't set the world on fire with innovation, but it'll sell like hotcakes. And, it means I'll finally have a shot again at getting my hands on a red controller.

And Minecraft is coming to the Xbox, with Kinect support. I have no idea how that's going to work, but if you were to apply Kinect arm flails to Minecraft's general control scheme, single boys will have been practicing for this a few times a week for years. Also, the original Halo will be re-released, and a new Halo trilogy will be started with Halo IV. Eh.

Sony, still reeling from getting hacked every other day, came to E3 with two pieces of new hardware. First is the new PS Vita. The PSP has sold 70 million units, which is pretty decent, but not even close to the DS. Feeling the pressure from casual mobile gaming on iOS and Android, Sony has now added a touchscreen to the PSP, another touchpad on the back, six-axis motion controls, and real thumbsticks. It's got some impressive fire power under the hood - a quad-core processor and a quad-core GPU. With a relatively low price of $249 for the WiFi version, they're on the offensive.

The other piece of hardware is a 24" PlayStation-branded 3D television and goggles. This way, you can spend $500 to wear funny goggles and look at a glorified shoebox diorama but with a PlayStation logo!

Game-wise, it's all about cows at Sony, too. For the Vita, there's more Uncharted titles, Streetfighter vs. Tekken, Wipeout, Modnation Racers, and another LittleBigPlanet. Of course, there will be a Ridge Racer for the Vita too. There is some new IP here: Ruin, a hack-and-slash RPG which uses save games on the internet so you can play the game on both your Vita and PS3, and Dragon's Crown, a side-scrolling platformer little is known about yet.

As for the PS3 - two old PSP God of War games will get the HD and 3D makeover, and be re-released on the PS3 later this year. Sony also mentioned the re-releases of the fantastic Shadow Of The Colossus and ICO, both in HD and 3D (but we already knew about those). The PS3 is getting an exclusive too: Dust 514. While this looks like Call of Duty: Space Warfare, it will sport a persistent, MMO-like world with territory control and a functional economy.

Nintendo: Last year's games, coming to a Nintendo console in 2012

Nintendo is in somewhat of a hard place. The 3DS has seen disappointing sales, and the Wii, too, sees dropping sales. With barely any third party support, an underpowered console, and Apple breathing down their neck on the mobile side, they had to do something. And do something, they did - it's just too bad that what they did sucks.

Nintendo announced a new console, the Wii U. It's an HD version of the Wii, slightly fatter, but far more powerful, capable of putting out some decent graphics, bringing the console on par with the Xbox 360 and PS3. The big thing, however, is the Wii U's controller: a tablet-like device with game controls on the side, and a camera built-in.

This new controller enables some cool tricks, that's for sure. In multiplayer games, you can have individual players having different information on their screens, and different players can play different roles. They also showed other ways for the controller's display and the TV to work together, such as swiping a shuriken from the controller onto the display. You can also continue to play games on the controller's screen when the TV is turned off. Pretty neat.

Game-wise, Nintendo had the biggest herd of cows of the entire show floor. Several Zelda games (both remakes and 'new' ones, for 3DS, Wii, and Wii U), a new Mario Kart (3DS), Luigi's Mansion 2 (3DS), two new Mario platformers (3DS and Wii U), a new Kid Icarus (Wii U), another Mario Party (Wii), and more of these remakes. Third party support for the Wii U basically amounts to Xbox 360 and PS3 games from last year which will be available on the Wii U once it launches next year. Nintendo had zero new IP. Nothing. What a disgrace.

And while they didn't announce it, my extraordinary powers of clairvoyance tell me the Wii U will get a Metroid game or two as well. Don't hold me to this though!

So, was there anything interesting at E3?

Yes, but none of these were actually announced at E3 itself. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim absolutely blew my mind visually, and the gameplay improvements look genuine too - but only time will tell. Saints Row 3 saw some CGI trailers, and, while not a focal point at E3 since it'll be released June 14, Alice: Madness Returns is my number one must-buy this year. Pre-order is ready and waiting. Other interesting titles we got to see more of were Assassin's Creed Revelations and BioShock: Infinite.

We also got some more footage from Dead Island, Deep Silver's zombie apocalypse-themed role playing game which looks a lot like a cross between an Elder Scrolls game, Condemned, and Left 4 Dead. This game has me incredibly excited due to its massive co-op potential and focus on 'realistic' melee combat during a zombie apocalypse.

There was probably a lot more stuff going on, but none of it registered on my personal radar (feel free to use the comments). All in all, this was a massive cowfest, and clearly shows that the industry is pretty much dead in the water. Most of the even remotely innovative stuff is happening in the indie-scene, but those games tend to be short and/or badly broken (Magicka comes to mind).

Maybe next year.

IconIn the following article, DistroWatch explores OpenBSD, an operating system built from the ground up with security in mind. Though not suitable for every taste, OpenBSD will no doubt save many system administrators gray hairs. Even for those not running a server, this is a very stable and powerful OS and you don't necessarily need to be paranoid (though it helps) to enjoy using it.

I had a larger reply going, but I don't think it is worth posting. These are common arguments, and while I can understand them I have a hard time relating to them personally, so I'm just going to address this little gem:

they've done little to nothing up to this point

Really? You're going to claim this? When I started using Linux on the desktop (1998-ish,) it was pretty gosh-darn bad and often looked much like this:

There has been a LOT of progress, and although I personally think some of the newer developments are detrimental (Unity, GNOME 3, the pulseaudio mess), consistency and usability of the Linux desktop now is lightyears beyond what it was even five or ten years ago.

Thank you for the screenshots! They made me sentimental for my first Linux installation, which would have been Slackware (version 7 if amnesia serves me correct). Considering it was 1998, the shots don't look much/any worse than Win95/98 at the time.

On the other hand, I really don't like controlling my computer through Windows. I'd rather put up with GRUB2 than Windows malware/security issues.
Do you Linux people seriously need to keep trolling every windows thread? Neither os is perfect where security is concerned, that's all there is to it. Isn't this getting a bit ridiculous?

A lot of linux users are too pained by the fact that we aren't in the Windows 95 era anymore. They're too pained by the fact that Windows 7 is a great desktop OS with enormous improvements in stability and security since the Windows 95 era. And lastly, they're very bitter that the linux desktop is still a joke and never took over the world like it has `been about to do` since, well, forever in their minds.

I'm a daily linux user myself -- have been for over a decade now -- and I'm constantly annoyed by those lamers too.

cat questions

by jenna
(soddy daisy tn.)

what does it mean when your cat breathes weird?

Answer from Kate
well it depends. If it is a constant strange breathing pattern then he may have an allergy, A cold or even have a heart problem. In any case if it is a constant problem then they need to see a vet as soon as possible.

what does it mean when your cat jumps up and moves away from you for no reason?

Answer by Kate
Difficult to say, he may be suddenly startled by something which has made him jump. Sometimes if you are wearing strong perfume then this can sometimes make them become weary.

what does it mean when your cat only lays on its stomach?

Answer by Kate

I don't think this means anything in particular unless the cat shows signs of discomfort if they lay in a different way. If you think this is the case then again, you need to take your cat to see a vet.

best wishes Kate

Missing School

Recently the Department for Education released figures that showed almost 400,000 children miss at least a month of school. Pupils who are classed as “persistently absent” miss 15 per cent or more of school, and Schools Minster Nick Gibb says this is a serious problem. This is because most of these children never make up the work they miss out and the evidence from 2009/10 shows there is a clear link between poor attendance and low achievement.

The report for 2009/10 found the following:

  • Missing more than 50 per cent of school, only 3 per cent managed to achieve five A* to C GCSEs
  • Missing between 10 and 20 per cent, only 35 per cent managed to achieve five A* to C GCSEs.
  • Missing less than 5 per cent of school, 73 per cent achieve five A* to C GCSEs.

Nick Gibb has also said, “Children who attend school regularly are four times more likely to achieve five or more good GCSEs, including Maths and English, than those who are persistently absent,” and poor attendance can have an effect on children’s future.

Oxford Home Schooling offers home study courses and distance learning courses which allows students to study in their own time and place to achieve their own goals.

IoPP seminars to cover latest trends at multi-show event

By Kari Embree in Packaging Education and Training on June 04, 2014

Going to EastPack or HBA Global Expo on June 10-12 in the Big Apple? Make sure to check out the on-site packaging education seminars developed and hosted by The Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) located at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Hear from industry experts offering practical strategies and answers to critical topics in packaging today during these three 2-hr multi-speaker sessions.

The focus on each seminar will cater to a different area of packaging and will then be wrapped up with a Q&A session moderated by Jim George, IoPP director of education.

“The IoPP sessions have more speakers than previously,” George tells Packaging Digest. “Rather than a series of standalone presentations on unconnected topics, we have created a series of seminars, each focusing approximately two hours and multiple related presentations on the same topic. The topics reflect the requested areas of interest of show attendees.”

George adds, “The seminar approach enables us to present topics in greater depth and from multiple perspectives from various industry professionals. They will be able to get in-depth information on a topic of their choosing all in one place rather than having to go from room to room to listen to multiple presenters.”

Besides EastPack and HBA Global Expo, the three-day event will co-locate the PharmaPack North America trade show.

Check out the agenda below:

Seminar 1: Improving Package Design for the Retail Experience
Breakout sessions (10-11:45 a.m.)
• Leveraging an existing retail brand identity
• Winning color strategies for a global marketplace
• Panel discussion: packaging implications for breaking into mass retail

Seminar 2: Leveraging Smart and Interactive Packaging Technologies to Engage Customers
Breakout sessions (1-2:45 p.m.)
• Developing the business case for electronically enabled packaging
• Package design teams’ response to market changes and technology use for customer engagement
• Interactive packaging technology for engaging customers and product differentiation

Seminar 3: Innovations in Package Materials and Their Usability
Breakout sessions (3-4:45 p.m.)
• Expanded uses and new applications for alternative package materials
• Technical design implications for packaging and usability
• New polymers and plastics—evaluating stability and performance

Innovation celebration

The IoPP AmeriStar Package Awards, along with the UBM Canon Packaging Group Visionary Awards, presented by Packaging Digest and Pharmaceutical & Medical Packaging News, will recognize finalists and award winners at a dual ceremony on June 10.

AmeriStar awards are given based on six criteria: Innovation, Package Performance, Marketing, Environmental Impact, Product Protection and Economics.

Wallpaper Removal

I get so many questions on how to remove wallpaper. What's the best way? What's the easiest way?

Score the walls, this step will ensure the removal technique, penetrates the paper and loosens the glue. (It is worth the small investment to buy a scoring tool!)

There are a couple of methods and mixtures that I found to work well for taking down the paper. The mixtures, either equal parts of white vinegar and hot water or a quarter cup liquid fabric softener to each gallon of hot water. The trick is to make the water really hot! Applicators? For the white vinegar, I've found a spray bottle works the best. Saturate the wall and let it sit until you see the paper bubbling up and then peel the paper off using a wide putty knife to get under the paper. If you find it's sticking, just spray and scrape, spray and scrape as you go.

If you choose the fabric softener route, put the mixture in a big five- gallon bucket and put a paint grid over the side. Use a paint roller to spread the mixture over the walls, and then simply scrape the wallpaper off.

When the paper is removed reapply the solutions to remove any paste residue. A window squeegee can make quick work of this job.

Some of the types of Panama visas include the following:
• Panama pensioned tourist visa
• Panama retired pensioner’s visa
• Simple or multiple return visa

Each Panama visa serves a different purpose. Other visas not mentioned above are utilized for those wishing to own or operate businesses within Panama.

It may seem as if retirement in Panama is a bit complicated. On the contrary, it can be relatively hassle-free. It is often a good idea to solicit the help of someone skilled in regards to their knowledge and understanding of Panamanian law, such as a Panama lawyer.

March Revisited

Hello my dear sweet love nuts! I am alive! Man, what a crazy three months it has been...and no, not the fun kind of crazy. I got some sort of lung infection sickness thing in January along with a cold that lasted for a month and a half, and then I got a really bad sinus infection. Haha. Oh dear. So I have been out of commission sort of, but working at the same time.

This time of year makes me want to clean and air things out, and do all those kinds of domestic things, except for tonight. Tonight there is a big storm coming and I am just hoping I make it home before the subway decides to turn to shit. So until I find something interesting to write about here, lets take a look at March posts from Pandorah's Box, through the years.

2015- Getting Lost

2010-A Picture, So It Happened

There you go! 6 years of this blog! It goes further back than that, but you are probably sick of my mug at this point. Sorry about all the pictures of me, but...yeah.

I hope you are all enjoying your day, and for those being hit by the storm tonight, stay warm and dry, and I hope your power stays on!

Welcome to Terrifically Talented Thursday

For those of you that are new to this blog, every Thursday, I showcase five blogs, websites or posts that I think you will enjoy. Here are my weekly picks.

Martha Stewart is featuring over 48 of her best clip art designs for free. Click here to see her entire collection. The stylish black and white papers and wrapping sleeves are featured here. I know this was originally for Christmas, but it is the perfect year round paper. I plan to use her papers to wrap my next gift.

Flowers were everywhere this year at CHA and I discovered this video on how to make baby Prima flowers with your Cricut. I love Kathy’s ideas and her blog Paper Phenomenon is amazing! So are her videos!

I bet you all have seen a number of posts and videos on how to make your Cricut mat sticky again, I know I have. However, this is the first video I have seen on how to actually make a mat. I have not tried making my own mat, but I am going to give it a try as it looks so easy.

For the best collection of step cards using your Cuttlebug, you just have to visit the Cuttlebug Spot. Each card was created by a very talented design team member. Wow!

Recently, I was watching the Today show and saw Danny Green. He has an eco-friendly website with very innovative craft projects. If you stop in for a visit, be sure and check out his wine cork shower mat and his perfume art flowers. He is a master at recycling and has written several wonderful books!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you are having a terrific Thursday. Stop in tomorrow for a fun new project.

Happy New Year, and why didn't you come when we butchered?

This festive "Happy New Year" postcard was postmarked on January 1, 1914, and mailed to Nathaniel Howard of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania (which was previously mentioned in this recent post about Belsnickel). The message to Nathaniel, in what looks like a child's cursive writing, states:
"Dear Uncle, Let us know why you didn't come up when we butchered. I had phoned down. We thought you may be sick. Let us know. It worried Mamma that you did not come. From Sadie."
So, today's lesson: Don't skip family butcherings.
