Brainy bees?

Scientists underestimate the thinking and learning ability of creatures yet again.

Published: 21 March 2017 (GMT+10)

Recently, a study demonstrated the ability of certain bumblebees to pull strings attached to disks from under plastic covers to get a food reward.1 Of course, we already know that bees are incredible navigators that can find the perfect flower for their needs. But what was more remarkable about this study was that this learned behaviour or ‘new knowledge’ was quickly passed on to other members of the colony. Who knew that the lowly bumblebee could learn from other bees just by watching them!?

Entomologists have long debated whether insects have the capacity to think. And, of course, their nervous systems are quite different. Unlike humans and animals, insects do not have pain receptors (nociceptors) to transfer what we would think of as important information to their tiny brains. The consensus for many years was that insect behaviour is simply hard-wired due to millions of years of evolution and selection. The ability of these bees to solve problems clearly indicates otherwise.

Scuba-diving spider

Scuba-diving spiders

Here is another marvellous example of the thinking ability of ‘lesser’ creatures that were thought to only act out of instinct. Some spiders (arachnids) can capture a bubble of air using the hairy filaments of their legs and some silk.2 They then use the trapped air bubble to breathe underwater in order to capture prey. When first discovered, it was thought that this practice would only allow them to last 20 minutes or so. But these spiders have now been observed living underwater for up to a full day. They not only capture prey underwater but eat it there, too. The underwater environment is a totally unnatural place for creatures that require air to breathe. Yet, somehow, they reasoned there was a food source underwater and figured out a way to capture it. How such behaviour is passed on remains a mystery.

Flesh-eating chimps

Of course, we should not be surprised when mammals display learned behaviour. However, it would be fair to say that anthropologists were shocked when a video arose of groups of chimpanzees working together to corral much smaller colobus monkeys up into trees where other chimps were waiting to prey on them. Our thoughts of cute, cuddly, banana-eating chimps soon changed when we saw horrific images of them smashing the skulls of other primates to get at their brains. When asked why the chimps developed this supposedly unusual behaviour, most anthropologists reason that it is because they like the taste of meat!3 Of course, most humans can relate to that, yet Genesis 1:29–30 clearly indicates that humans (and primates like chimps) were originally created vegetarian. This discovery of this astounding behaviour means that chimpanzee are no longer solely regarded as herbivores but omnivores.

It’s another case of scientific assumptions being proven wrong, whether based upon evolutionary precepts or otherwise. Such abilities are often underestimated because no credit is given to the fact that a Creator has endowed many living things with gifts such as the ability to problem-solve.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I made this colorful St. Patrick’s Day painting craft with my 4 year old daughter. It was a easy fun craft to do. I’m so happy with how beautiful it turned out!

  1. I painted her palm of her hand and thumb black with a sponge brush.
  2. Using a paint brush. I painted the line for the grass, and let my daughter paint in the bottom grass area.
  3. We let it dry.
  4. I painted her 4 fingers yellow and carefully lined up to her palm.
  5. I sprinkled the gold glitter on the yellow fingers.
  6. I painted the rainbow and cloud. (Keeping my little one busy with paper and paints to make art of her choice, while I got to finish.
  7. I printed the “Happy St. Patrick’s Day” from my printer and used my daughters light table to trace the words on.

The Art of Being Alone with God

30 July 2019

Most of life’s problems can be solved by being alone with God and having an intimate relationship with Him. God makes a way when there is no way; there is something about being in God’s presence that takes care of all issues. Knowing Him turns the impossible into the possible, and increases our faith. As Christians, we must practice the art of getting alonge with Him.

Color Braces

Express Yourself with Colored Braces

Who said braces have to be boring? You can customize your braces by choosing bands in any color you want and make your smile all your own. Choose just one color or mix and match for extra fun!

You can have fun picking different colors at every orthodontic appointment, which is about every 8 to 10 weeks. If you’re going to be wearing braces for 18 to 24 months, you may as well get creative with the way they look on your teeth!

What Color Should You Choose?

When you come in for your appointment, your orthodontic specialist will ask you what color or colors you want.

Choose your favorite color, or pick something that represents your school colors or supports your favorite sports team. Choose colors that reflect your mood, enhance your eye color, or blend in with your tooth enamel. Many patients switch the color of their elastics during the holidays, and you can even get glow-in-the-dark bands for Halloween!

At Crescent Orthodontic Specialists, we have plenty of colors to choose from.

happy luck

Mary has moved in and finally we’re settling into the rhythms of small-town French life. Together we can grumble about the lack of buses on Sunday and celebrate when we find a café with wifi. We can practice our French, unless we’re tired, in which case we devolve into our own brand of franglais.

It’s nice to have someone to laugh with. We do that a lot as means of survival, for the inconveniences can be really frustrating. For example, our house is lovely but also a forty-minute walk from most places of interest. Normally the bus serves us well…except on Sundays where you’d better get used to walking. It’s fine until you have to do it four times in a day and feel the blisters and bruises forming on your feet.

But I have a sense of optimism and so does Mary, something I really appreciate about her. We’re good at finding the at least, like: we may have missed the bus by two minutes but at least we’ll get more acquainted with the route. My feet are killing me but at least when we get to the café we’ll really appreciate it!

That’s what happened yesterday, more times than I should probably admit. We kept missing those rare Sunday buses…except for our first trip into the city, where we got off the bus at an unknown stop and found ourselves right in the middle of a Sunday morning market.

That’s the other side of the frustration coin, that the smallest success feels like a victory. When you don’t always know what you’re doing (or where you’re going or how to get there), life is full of happy surprises.

I love the French market, vendors yelling about how good their tomatoes are; skeptical older women making sure they get their money’s worth: are you sure the tangerines are bon?

Mary bought some sausage with bleu d’Auvergne (a cheese from the region) from a solidly-built man with a mustache so classic you could almost hear it say Je suis français.

I made a beeline for a little fromagerie and gazed at all the lovely, crazy cheese in unexpected colors. I saw cheese I recognized from my job at Lucky’s–Port Salut, Brillat-Savarin–as well as dozens of cheeses I didn’t. img_2481

I tried the green cheese, colored from basil (what else?) and bought something similar, but flavored with truffles instead and decidedly non-green.

I bought a bag of figs that were so good we ate them in one sitting, right across the street. Mary went back and bought a kilo. img_2483

We talked a little with the produce vendors, who were interested in our origine. This happens a lot. Then when we say we’re American, people tend to jump at the chance to try out the little English they know. I’ve had people stare at me, repeating a word like good! or Miami! Yesterday we were sitting at a bus stop, speaking English, when a man did a double-take: he turned around and walked back and asked us, in French, if we were American. His suspicions confirmed, he smiled and wished us a good day.

It’s fun to be here, as I’ve never felt so…rare. We clearly wouldn’t enjoy the same reception in Paris.

After the figs, we sat at a café where we had a view of the shoppers and enjoyed a simple breakfast: coffee and orange juice and tartines. We saw a man ride through the crowd on his bike, three baguettes stuffed down the front of his down jacket like it was nothing. La France, country of understated elegance and pride in personal appearance, where it is also acceptable to stuff bread down your shirt. img_2485

We had a grand bread and cheese lunch at home and then made our way back to centre-ville to work on lesson plans at a bar. We then walked home, walked back to a pizza place to get the little personal pizzas we had ordered–blue cheese and crème fraiche and lardons; goat cheese and honey–and walked home again…it took us longer than we thought. It was dark and our pizzas were growing cold so we snuck bites out of the boxes like raccoons in the night, making up silly French songs about how bad our feet hurt.

We may not know where to go to buy a baguette on Sunday, or, let’s be real, a lot of other things, but we do have joie de vivre (as a French guy told me the other day).

As I was writing this at the little café where I’m quickly becoming a regular, an older man began speaking to me too quickly for me to understand. When he learned where I’m from, he tried out his English. Hello! Goodnight! How are you! As he left, he wished me happy luck with my work.

Happy luck. The mistranslation made me smile. It’s a nice phrase, actually. I thought how it is what you might call happy luck that I am here, in France with a new job and new friends and new challenges. Happy luck indeed.

Poem on The Drabble: The Final Pose

By Mark Tulin

I’m not afraid of death.

I practice it every day in my 8 a.m. yoga class, simply lying there without a care in the world, feeling nothing but eternity.

I close my eyes with the lights turned low and the sounds of life muted and blurred, knowing that eventually I will have…
— Read on thedrabble.wordpress.com/2019/05/06/the-final-pose/

Author, poet, short story writer from Santa Barbara, California. I write about a variety of topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia, to my years as a family therapist, and finally to my soul-searching present in California. These are narratives that may have a humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you.

  1. “feeling nothing but eternity” That just reads as restful. Very vivid post.

  2. good one; I’ve never gone that deep into yoga; I don’t get much beyond the one where you stand on your head 🙂 love that ‘speck of time’

Who am I?

Geeky, creative and proud to be both

I’m a proud geek. No, a proud creative geek. But throw your stereotypes away. What it means is that I’m just as happy writing as rebuilding a computer. And when the two collide, I’m in heaven.

My educational background is in Physics, but my work experience includes everything from drug testing to systems engineering. That variety means I have a depth of knowledge I bring to every project that you aren’t likely to find elsewhere. It also means I’m often able to act as a liaison, or technical ambassador, to bridge the gap between your engineers or subject experts, and your potential customers. Because not everyone who uses technology understands it.

Most often the decision makers need to understand the value of what you offer, which can be hard for their technical teams to convey (in my experience anyway). Creating content that can speak to all the people involved in the buying process isn’t always easy – unless you have a copywriter that knows how.

What it’s like to work with me

How do you start a project?

Every project starts with an initial consultation – which is always free. Once I have an idea of what it is you want, and we both agree I’m a good fit for the work, I’ll either send a custom proposal or a project agreement. When we all sign off on it, work will begin.

Do you have a standard process you follow?

Yes, and no. I do have a process I use that involves an exchange of information via documents and interviews. But often companies have an established process they prefer to use, so I’m fine working with their preferences.

What about revisions?

My policy on revisions is that I will work with you on a piece until you are happy with it – provided you give me specific feedback within 30 days of delivery. After 30 days there will be a revision charge.

What clients say…

What I have to offer

Custom Quote

I can provide custom quotes for any project you have in mind. Choose a single service you want, or bundle the ones you need to get a single project price.

Website Triple Checkup

Get an analysis of your existing website in terms of content, usability and SEO. You’ll find out how you compare to your competitors, strengths and weaknesses. Then receive a plan to improve in the future.

Content Kickstarter

Finally get a jump on the content you need to meet your marketing goals. Blogs, downloadable reports, and a content plan to keep you going for months.

Launch It!

It’s a top to bottom, bottom to top, look at your business’ online presence (or what it should be if you don’t have one) followed by action-packed copywriting to create the website and content your business needs to succeed

First consultations are free

Starting a new project isn't always easy. But I'm here to make it as smooth as possible for you. Just email me and we can set up a time to chat about your needs, free of charge.

Embedded Computing

    Embedded Computing is the fundamental technology on which all else is based. Embedded computers are specifically designed hardware for handling specific input, processing, output, or complexity of a system. The reason embedded computing matters is that the world around us lives on it. Uses expand beyond the automotive field to make digital watches, coffee makers, robots, cars, and so very much more functional. These systems range from a simple microchip to multiple dedicated processors with internet connectivity and a full operating system. Below is an example of one of these specialized pieces of hardware that operates as an Engine Control Unit. It is hard to overstate the significance that embedded computing systems have in our modern world.

How I Began Sewing Again

A few years ago I mentioned to my mom that it would be fun to sew again. Most of the sewing I’d done since college was by hand – reattaching buttons, repairing seams, and darning socks. I hadn’t done any serious sewing on a machine since college.

My Kenmore sewing machine and pocket organizer

My mom was the one who taught me to sew on her Singer Golden Touch years ago when I was in grade school. And she made most of our clothes when my three sisters and I (yep, no brothers) were growing up. Mom didn’t always read the directions of the sewing patterns, partly because English is her second language, but she used the pictures in the directions as her main guide. Looking back on that now, I think it’s pretty amazing that she was able to make so many clothes that way. Go Mom!

In 2009 I got a sewing machine from my parents for Christmas, nothing fancy – a Kenmore machine from Sears. So I was excited to make something and thought I’d start with a small project. I went to my local Joann Fabrics and looked at the pattern books and saw a McCall’s pattern for sewing organizers (M4274, now out of print but you may be able to find it on eBay). All you needed were some fat quarters, interfacing, and thread. I hadn’t done any quilting before so fat quarters were new to me. Joann’s had plenty to choose from. I decided to go with a violet theme as you can see from the photo (at left).

I figured it’d be good practice sewing straight seams. Plus I’d get to organize my growing collection of sewing things. Whenever there was a notions sale, I was snapping up pins, needles, snaps, tailor’s chalk, you name it.

(click for larger image)

The first thing I made was the pocket organizer that my sewing machine sits on. I made it with two fat quarters and some bias tape, which perfectly matched the solid violet fabric I chose.

Now I have a place to stash at least two pairs of scissors – my fabric cutters and my small thread-snipping one. And I could stick my various marking pens and sewing machine needles in there too. I was ready to go!

A mini-split air conditioning system, also called a ductless mini split system, is a smart alternative for uncomfortable homes where traditional cooling and heating systems aren’t getting the job done.

Traditional approaches to cooling and heating include use of air conditioners, ducted air-based central cooling and heating, hydronic radiators (water-based heating) or electric space heaters.

Ductless minis, on the contrary, are ideal for homes where installing ducts would be expensive or infeasible. They have no ducts, so they avoid the energy losses associated with the ductwork of central-forced air systems. Energy.gov reports that duct losses can account for more than 30% of energy consumption for space conditioning, especially if the ducts are in an unconditioned space, such as an attic.

With a ductless mini split system, its air-source heat pump can run in “reverse,” supplying hot air in the winter and cool air in the summer. If you’ve ever waved your hand over your AC unit outside on a hot day while it’s cooling your house, you probably noticed the outdoor unit was blowing hot air. During cold weather, the heat pump component reverses this cycle to move this heat into the house.

The main advantages of mini split air conditioning systems are their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms. Many models can have as many as four indoor air-handling units (for four zones or rooms, each with its own thermostat) connected to one outdoor unit. The number depends on how much heating or cooling is required for the building or each zone (which, in turn, is affected by how well the building is insulated and air sealed.) A home that includes a mini split system along with proper insulation and air sealing will provide the highest level of comfort.

The hook-up between the outdoor and indoor units generally requires only a three-inch hole through a wall for the conduit. A homeowner can locate the outdoor unit as far away as 50 feet from the indoor evaporator. This makes it possible to cool rooms on the front side of a house, but locate the compressor in a more advantageous or inconspicuous place on the outside of the building.

In comparison to other add-on systems, mini splits offer interior design flexibility. The indoor air handlers can be suspended from a ceiling, mounted flush into a drop ceiling or hung on a wall. Floor-standing models are also available. Most indoor units are about seven inches deep and have sleek, high tech-looking jackets. Many also offer a remote control to make it easier to turn the system on and off when it’s positioned high on a wall or suspended from a ceiling.

With a split system, you no longer have an obstructed view of the outdoors, since your windows are free of cumbersome window-mounted air conditioning units. Split systems can also help keep your home safer, because there is only a small hole in the wall. Traditional through-the-wall and window-mounted room air conditioners can provide easy access for intruders.

A Tale of Two (Small) Victories

What do BIPA and SyRI-related developments tell us about the future of privacy? Elizabeth Renieris weighs in on two recent privacy victories that light a path forward in an otherwise dark digital future.

“The emerging case law shows us that we don’t need #ownyourdata campaigns or fancy data-as-property proposals to preserve our privacy, dignity, and autonomy. Rather, we need our lawful institutions to apply decades-old laws and principles to new and emerging technologies through an unchanging lens of our shared humanity.”

    Problem Statement:
    You are required to write a Java program, named ShoppingCart, for a typical online shopping system. In which a user can add and remove items to the shopping cart. The program will allow the user to proceed with checkout by displaying all items of the shopping cart along with total bill. Further, user will also be fascinated by giving the option of emptying the shopping cart without buying anything. All will be done by using Java basic GUI component i.e. JOptionPane.

    Detailed Description:
    At start, your program should display an Input Dialog (i.e. JOptionPane.showInputDialog) and ask for following options;

    1. Add Item(s) to Cart

    2. Remove an Item from Cart

    3. Go to Checkout

    4. Empty the Cart

    5. Exit the Program
      Fig. 1: Shopping Cart GUI

    6. Add Item(s) to Cart:

    Each time, user selects this option, s/he will be prompted via two Input Dialogs (i.e. JOptionPane.showInputDialog) for selecting an item from available items list (sample data is given below) and its quantity respectively. If inputs are correct (i.e. found no empty/null value and quantity is between 1 and 10) then selected item and its quantity will be added in the shopping cart by using ArrayList from java.util.* package.

    Fig. 2: Adding items in Shopping Cart

    1. Remove an Item from Cart:

    User can remove any item from the shopping cart by using this option; JOptionPane.showInputDialog should be used here. However, if shopping cart is already empty then message “Cart is empty” via JOptionPane.showMessageDialog should be displayed.

    Fig. 3: Remove an Item

    1. Go to Checkout:

    The program should first check if shopping cart contains any item; if not, it means no item is added yet so ask user to add a new item first. Otherwise, a Message Dialog (i.e. JOptionPane.showMessageDialog) will be opened, displaying all added items along with their quantity and prices. Furthermore, total number of items and grand total should be provided at bottom as well.
    Fig. 4: Go to Checkout
    4. Empty the Cart:

    User can remove all items from the shopping cart at once by using this option; successful deletion message should be displayed by using JOptionPane.showMessageDialog. However, if shopping cart is already empty then appropriate message like "Cart is empty" should be displayed.

    Fig. 5: Empty the Cart
    5. Exit the Program:

    Exit option will terminate the program and show the developer information (i.e. Student Id and name) via JOptionPane.showMessageDialog.
    Fig. 6: Developer Info
    Required Java Classes:
    For this purpose, you have to create three java classes (i.e. Product, Cart and MainClass). Data members, member functions and other details of these classes are given below;

    Product Class:

    •	id: int
    •	name: String
    •	price: float
    •	quantity: int
    •	Constructors: default, parameterized and copy constructor
    •	Standard Setters: setId(…), setName(…), setPrice(…), setQuantity(…)
    •	Standard Getters getId(), getName(), getPrice(), getQuantity()

    Cart Class:

    Cart Class:
    •	cartItems: ArrayList
    •	Constructors: default, parameterized and copy constructor
    •	Member Functions: addItem(…), removeItem(…), emptyCart(), getItemsList(), getProductIndex(…)

    Main Class:

    •	myCart: Cart
    •	Constructors: default, parameterized and copy constructor
    •	Member Functions: main(), showGUI(), addItem(), removeItem(), checkOutCart(), removeAll(), developerInfo()

    Sample Data:

    Important Things to Implement:

    • For GUI, you have to use JOptionPane.showInputDialog and JOptionPane.showMessageDialog for taking input from user and showing output to user respectively.
    • Use single ArrayList for adding/removing items to/from shopping cart.
    • Need to make sure that exceptions are managed properly throughout the program; especially NullPointerException and NumberFormatException while taking input from user.
    • All images and sample data, given in this document, are just for reference purpose only; you have to provide your own implementations. It is not required to be exactly the same.

    Good Luck

Four Corners? Not So Much

Four Corners is the only place in the United Status where four state boundaries (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah) come together. It was originally surveyed in 1868 and the first marker was placed there in 1912. The problem is, the survey was wrong. It turns out that the correct intersection is about 2.5 miles east of the marker.

I don’t know why, but I find it strangely humorous that millions of people have visited this monument over nearly 100 years and have taken pictures doing various goofy stunts to cover all 4 states–all to no avail. It was all a lie. (evil laughter)

    just like the Equator mark in Ecuador hahaha.
    Oh well, it doesn’t matter now does it. What matters is that you got there.
    Who knows, maybe Bethlehem isn’t really the place where Jesus was born?
    Most cities nowadays are not even the original settlemens of our forefathers but everybody keep saying in history books “the first settlers came to this city hundreds of years ago”.
    The first settlers to come to ‘Toronto’ didn’t live in where the present city actually is in . The original settlement is far up north closer to Lake Simcoe, and they called themselves ‘The town of York’. Eventually the town of York moved closer to Lake Ontario because it was a better place to defend themselves from the Yankees. Then the city grew and the name was changed to ‘Toronto’ from the Huron word ‘tkaronto’ meaning ‘place where trees stand in water’ (which is in the old site close to Lake Simcoe) in 1834.
    I bet there are more cities and places out there that are misplaced throughout our history.

  4. Matt Says:

    That is such a weird platform looking thing, somehow it deserves to be wrong. Reminds me a little of a roundabout, I can almost imagine it spinning around 90 degrees if enough people push off from one side, and even then it still wouldn’t be any more accurate!

5 Ways to Afford Prescriptions in the Medicare Donut Hole

Prescription medications are a significant cost for most seniors. That’s especially true if they fall into the Medicare Part D coverage gap known as the “donut hole.” That’s when drug costs can skyrocket because they’re not covered. FamilyWize shares 5 expert tips on how seniors can afford to pay for prescriptions when they’re in the Medicare donut hole.

For many people, one of the most confusing aspects of using a Medicare drug plan is the coverage gap – sometimes casually referred to as the Medicare “donut hole.”

Each year, the coverage gap spending limits change. And each year, politicians discuss ways to do away with the gap altogether.

The good news is that there is support for seniors – and their caregivers – who fall into this “donut hole” in 2018.

What is the Medicare Part D coverage gap?

The coverage gap is a temporary limit on what a Medicare drug plan will pay for prescription drug coverage.

Within a given year, after a patient and their drug plan have spent a certain amount of money on covered drugs, the coverage gap begins.

Once a patient falls into “the gap,” or “donut hole,” their prescription drug plan will only cover a percentage of their costs and the patient must pay the rest out-of-pocket.

After that, when the patient meets a specific level of out-of-pocket spending for the year, they reach the other side of the donut hole.

Then, they qualify for “catastrophic coverage” until the end of the year. Catastrophic coverage ensures that seniors only pay a small amount for covered drugs for the rest of the year.

Some seniors will never spend enough money on prescription medications to reach this gap. Others reach it and exceed it each year – which means they have to plan ahead for the extra costs.

But planning ahead for the donut hole can be especially tricky for seniors and their caregivers because the spending limits change yearly.

Does the Medicare coverage gap apply to your older adult this year?

In 2018, if an older adult and their plan have spent $3,750 on covered drugs, they are in the coverage gap.

And after spending $5,000 out-of-pocket in 2018, they are out of the coverage gap and automatically qualify for catastrophic coverage.

People with Medicare who are enrolled in the Extra Help program that pays for Part D costs don’t need to worry about the coverage gap.

5 ways to afford prescription drugs when in the “donut hole”

If your older adult might fall into the coverage gap this year, there are several free tools and strategies available to help them afford their prescription drugs:

1. Sign up for a prescription discount card
Signing up for a free prescription discount card is one of the fastest and easiest ways to save a significant amount of money on medication.

Most Rx discount cards are available by free download or mobile app installation. Physical cards can be easily requested as well.

Once you have a prescription discount card for your older adult, simply show it to the pharmacist every time you pick up a prescription.

Look for a card with no fees or eligibility requirements, and check to make sure it covers your senior’s medications and is accepted at your local pharmacies.

2. Download manufacturer coupons
If your older adult uses a brand name drug, it is likely that the pharmaceutical company producing it has a coupon or discount program of some kind.

To find out, visit the drug manufacturer’s official website and look for a “discount program” or “patient assistance” program. Alternatively, try searching for the name of your senior’s medication followed by “manufacturer coupon.” And check to make sure your older adult qualifies for the manufacturer’s coupon discount.

Some states don’t allow discounts to be applied to patients on Medicare and Medicaid. Your pharmacist can help you understand if a manufacturer’s coupon applies.

3. Comparison shop
It’s a common misconception that all pharmacies charge the same amount for the same drug.

They do not.

Taking a few minutes to compare prices among local pharmacies can reveal meaningful savings.

It’s also wise to check major chain and big box stores, as well as independent pharmacies. Large retailers are sometimes able to negotiate deep discounts for commonly prescribed medications.

4. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist about your options
Your older adult’s healthcare providers are very aware that the Medicare Part D coverage gap exists.

If you’re concerned about affording their medications, talk to their doctor and pharmacist right away.

They might be able to suggest a switch to an alternative medication that is lower cost or simply a different dose or treatment plan that can shave a significant amount of money off monthly refill costs.

5. Enroll in government programs
There are also 3 government programs that can help, though they may take a little longer to implement than just downloading a discount card or doing a quick internet search:

Extra Help – If older adults meet certain income requirements, they may qualify for a program that will ensure they never fall into the Medicare coverage gap. Learn more on Medicare.gov.

State Programs – Each state has its own assistance programs to help seniors and their caregivers afford care and treatment. Find your state programs here.

Additional plans – There are many different Medicare plans available, some with better drug coverage than others. Use the Medicare Plan Finder to see if there is one that may be a better fit for your situation.

While the Medicare coverage gap is certainly a challenge, it likely won’t last forever. Policy makers discuss new ways to close the gap every day.

In the meantime, there are programs and strategies available to help seniors and caregivers afford the prescription medications they need.

'Like Watching Him Go Through Chemo': Clayton Morris Moves To Portugal With Worried Wife

Clayton and Natali discuss financial freedom in a YouTube video.

A former FOX News talkshow host accused of being involved in a real estate Ponzi scheme have moved out of the U.S.

Clayton Morris and his wife, Natali, first left their Florham Park for Pennsylvania, but have resettled in Portugal.

Morris is facing more than two dozens lawsuits saying he organized a scheme that defrauded customers for his own financial gain when he sold them rental properties that were in much worse shape than advertised.

Natali wrote on her website that the media attention and accusations were taking their toll on her husband, facing dozens of lawsuits from across the U.S.

"Watching him go through this has been what I would imagine it would be like to watch him endure chemotherapy," she wrote on her website.

"We can’t run from our legal battles, no matter where we live, nor would we. We have to see this through in a way that we can be proud of and answer for on a soul level. This move is not to run."

Morris left his position at "Fox & Friends" in 2017 to help others achieve financial independence and became a real estate advisor with his wife.

Their company "Morris Invest" helped to sell 1,000 properties over the past two years, bringing in more than $5 million in referral fees and profits from sales, the New York Times reports.

One client, Daniel Gomes, purchased a house in Indiana that had been damaged in a fire days before the sale closed, The Times says. Gomes did not know that until months later.

Morris and Natali, however, say they were victims, too.

The pair alleged they lost hundreds of thousands of dollars on properties they bought from a company that was supposed to do the renovations and manage the them -- but didn't, The New York Times reports.

"The problem is that the anxiety that I felt in New Jersey being stalked by neighbors and newspapers came with me," Natali said.

"I still find it hard to speak to my children without threatening thoughts circulating my brain like a poisonous gas. I still find my husband waking up with panic attacks in the dead of night. We have a lot of trauma to heal from and soul searching to embark upon."

A few months ago there was a hilarious hashtag on Twitter, #wecanlandaprobeonanasteroidbutwecant… The responses were pretty amazing: “we still can’t believe it’s not butter”, “we can’t order breakfast at McDonald’s after 10:30am”, “we can’t type more than 140 characters”. It was a reminder that while human beings can do incredible things like land a probe on an asteroid, map the entire sequence of the human genome, but despite all the advancements of modern science, there are still limits. Those of us living with CDH1 know this all to well as first world medicine still does not have the ability to detect and screen for HDGC in it’s early stages.

Thud. Tonight I am up because my daughter fell out of her toddler bed and I could not go back to sleep. I picked her up and placed her purple owl blanket back over her. I asked her where her “owie” was and she pointed to her cheek with a big fat tear in her eye. I kissed her soft cheeks as she began falling back asleep. While I was rocking her back to sleep I could not help but to wonder if technology will ever get to a point where there will be better screening techniques by the time she has to get tested. I really hope this is not the beginning of a new form of anxiety where I wonder whether or not she has the genetic mutation, but as it has always been since the beginning of our CDH1 journey, it is going to be a matter of trust and faith. As is often the case when it comes to our health, when things are out of your control, trust is often the only thing we have left. In someways it is wonderfully freeing, it does not make the situation any easier necessarily, but it does cause a person to root their hope in something other than oneself.

A few days ago we celebrated Ash Wednesday ushering in Lent, a season in which we remember our mortality, but also our own finitude, our smallness and the limitations of our own humanity. One of the reflections around this season, oddly enough, is the story of Jonah who runs from his calling, gets caught in a storm in open water, is swallowed up by a creature from the sea and lives for three days in the belly of this fish. Get it? Belly?

The reader is not told what transpired within the whale, the science behind what happened, or the historicity of the story, but here is the point of the story: Jonah’s life is preserved and he does not come out the other side the same person. For three days and three nights he reflects and comes to this conclusion:

“In my distress I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,
    and you listened to my cry.” Jonah 2:1

Something changes about Jonah’s heart while he survives within the belly of the fish and is vomited back on to dry ground. He’s literally gone through hell and within that time probably had lots of doubts and questions: “why?”, “why did this happen to me?”, “what does all this mean?”, “God, where are you?” Somehow, someway, from within the belly of the whale he comes to the conclusion that God was with him in the middle of the worst storms, under the worst circumstances and when he hit rock bottom. This recognition does not necessarily make it any easier to live within the belly of a fish, nor change his circumstance, but something changed about his attitude, his heart and his faith in God. Sometimes, it can be freeing to realize when that all we have sometimes is trust.

Pastor and writer Erwin McManus says about faith, “trust is faith when it’s directed towards God.”

Within the belly of the whale something changes about us. We gain a new perspective on life. We appreciate the little things. We take it one night and one day at a time. When we are “vomited” (which is a perfect descriptive word for what it feels like to go through a total gastrectomy, isn’t it?) back on to dry ground, we can start to see traces of God’s provision along the way. A blog post here. An unexpected friend there. A kind touch from a nurse. A doctor with solid bedside manner. A bite of food you have been craving and were able to keep down. All of it, traces of grace.

Good morning.

Health update:

IMG_0877I’m slowly putting weight back on and right now I’m back to weight before going to surgery staying stable around 158-161 pounds. I’m back to exercising and was able to do a 44 mile bike ride last week and a 25 mile bike ride yesterday. I can run about 5 miles at an 8:40 pace, if I push it, and I feel great along the way. I don’t sense thirst (which is a problem I had before surgery) so I have to remind myself to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, even when I do not feel like it. Throughout the day I can eat about 2200 calories and honestly, I feel like I’m eating like a normal person again. I still however, have to remind myself to eat slower sometimes. Apparently I was born to be a competitive eater, so this really is a transition for me.

My nutritionist is happy with my weight. She told me the weight that I can maintain without having to “push it” to maintain is the best weight for me. It is unrealistic for me to try and balloon up to 170 lbs as the amount I would have to eat is not sustainable in the long term. As of right now my blood pressure, my BMI and general health is good, so I should simply keep living life. Switching medical groups and getting plugged in with the bariatric community has been one of the best resources I gained for myself throughout this process.

On the not so bright side: the insomnia, apparently, is still an issue. According to my Fitbit tracker, which I do not know if it is better or worse for my insomnia, says that I am averaging about 3-4 hours of solid sleep a night. I still have issues with bile reflux, but it is no where near as bad as it was before. Dumping syndrome has helped with a change of diet, although it is incredibly difficult for me to give up delicious bread. I know it’s rolling the dice, but how could it be so wrong if it tastes so right? Randomly I woke up in the middle of the night last week dripping in sweat with the onset of dumping, it was really weird considering it had been hours since I ate last.

My new project: about a month ago, inspired by a Buzzfeed article on coffee shops you have to visit before you die, I decided to go on a motorcycle tour around the Bay Area in search of great roads and great coffee. If you want to follow my journey, subscribe to my YouTube channel here, and my Medium site here.

In a couple weeks it will officially be a year since my total gastrectomy, until then, live on!

February in California is pretty rough…

  1. I enjoyed reading your 2 most recent posts. I can relate to some of your situations so it comforting knowing ” I’m not the only one”. Sometimes I feel like my coworkers or family think I exaggerate …so thank you for sharing and the idea of meeting with a nutritionist!

    1. Danielle, totally. Or it’s in your head! But the struggle is real for sure! If you see a nutritionist I would really recommend someone who works in bariatrics, otherwise most the info is great general knowledge about diet/nutrition… But was not the most helpful specifically. Good luck in your journey! Let me know if there is any other way I can help!

All content is published "as is", without warranty of any kind and I don't take any responsibility and can't be liable for any claims, damages or other liabilities that might be caused by the content.

A word or two about NoSQL and it being schemaless

I’ve been discussing the “schemaless” view of NoSQL with some fellow developers and have been tweeting a bit about it and yesterday I started to read a new book: “NoSQL Distilled – A brief guide to the emerging world of polygot persistence, Pramod J.Sadalage & Martin Fowler (2013)” (Sadalage & Fowler 2013). So far I really appreciate it and I’ve extracted two sentences from the book that I think is really informative and clear when it comes to schemas and NoSQL:

“… whenever we write a program that accesses data, that program almost always relies on some form of implicit schema” – (Sadalage & Fowler 2013)

“Essentially, a schemaless database shifts the schema into the application code that accesses it.” – (Sadalage & Fowler 2013)

So, even though you don’t explicitly define a specific schema in the database (naming columns and putting data type constraints on it etc) you do have an implicit schema, expressed by dependencies from your application model against your data. You also have the notion of an implicit schema in your database. Lets say you are using a data-storage solution that allows you to author views using map & reduce functions using JavaScript. How often do you find your self writing logic in your map functions, ensuring that the current document is of a certain type and/or has certain fields? If you do that, aren’t you ensuring that the document is conforming to a certain schema? Another example that I think highlights this area is the common question you find when developers used to RDBMS and OR/Ms switch to NoSQL and start renaming members in their application model and then find them selves in unknown waters not knowing how to handle the difference in the implicit data-schema and the explicit application model. Should they version their application model or start writing mappers? Or should they introduce proxies that wraps the raw data-entity? Or is there another solution? Could we introduce meta fields in e.g the document if it’s a document-oriented NoSQL store and act on this meta data when deserializing the document to our application entities? Or could we just accept that the data is part of our history and as long as it is interesting we can not change names (history can not be changed). You see, there are questions and I think they all brings light on the fact that there’s an implicit schema. Schemaless in NoSQL land, is for me the fact that non uniformed data can be stored within the same container; and it can diverge by time.

P.s! You are most welcomed to share your thoughts about this subject.

m2Tech show off Evo series at Fujiya Avic Spring 2016

  • fujiya_avic_spring_2016For many an audio company, Japan’s keener interest in tech and larger population makes it a most lucrative market; perhaps why we see so many international guests fly in to support their local distributor’s presence at the bi-annual Fujiya Avic headphone show in Nakano.

    At the Spring 2016 event I said “Konichiwa!” to Ken Ball of Campfire Audio, James Lee of Astell&Kern, Dan Clark of MrSpeakers, John Franks of Chord Electronics and Thorsten Loesch of AMR/iFi Audio.

    m2Tech’s mainman Marco Manunta had also made the long haul to Tokyo to don a pink jacket in support of his distributor, Topwing (whom he shares with Loesch).

    Readers with longer memories will recall that m2Tech were the first company to really put affordable USB-S/PDIF converters on the map with their hiFace 1 and – later – hiFace 2, the OEM version of which also made its way into high end converters from Metrum and Eastern Electric. In other words, Manunta knows USB.

    On display to the right of the Topwing room, a digitally-routed Roksan turntable featured m2Tech’s Joplin MK2 ADC and Young DSD DAC. Consumer interest in m2Tech’s A/D converter is reportedly really starting to gain momentum with one third of total sales (since the Joplin’s 2012 inception) registering in the last three months!

    On a nearby table, the modular Evo series offers DAC and DDC solutions for those who prefer to externalise clock and power supply (not for sale in Japan). Manunta walks us through four-fifths of the Evo series including the newer Evo DAC Two Plus:

Rogers Launches the Nokia E62

by Darla

Rogers_e62_1 Rogers Wireless and Nokia today announced the Canadian launch and availability of the Nokia E62 business-optimized device, with Rogers MyMail push e-mail solution, enhanced web browsing and Nokia's uncompromised voice quality. Rogers Wireless is the first carrier in North America to offer the Nokia E62 device to their customers.

The Nokia E62 device from Rogers Wireless takes push e-mail out of the corner office and into the hands of hard-working business professionals - in cubicles, home offices or small businesses - looking to increase their productivity while on-the-go. The Nokia E62 device provides to corporate employees or independent entrepreneurs alike a versatile push e-mail solution with Rogers MyMail powered by Visto. MyMail provides the option to have personal or corporate e-mail to be pushed to the Nokia E62 device.

"As Canada's leading wireless carrier operating on the GSM/GPRS technology platform, the world standard for wireless communications technology, we are proud to offer our customers leading edge mobile handsets like the Nokia E62 device," says John Boynton, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "As the first carrier in North America to offer the E62, Rogers business customers will be able to save time by having access to the latest in mobile nnovation and e-mail connectivity."

Enhanced Web Browser Capabilities
With the familiarity of existing push e-mail device form factors, the slim E62 device boasts a large, wide 2.8" display with 16 million colours for easy viewing of documents. An improved browser offers innovative web viewing options with combinations of page view, zooming and narrow page layouts for PC-like viewing of web pages on a mobile device. A full messaging keyboard makes creating and editing documents, text messaging and sending e-mails quick
and easy. With the Nokia E62 device, professionals on-the-go can benefit from mobilizing their work e-mail, and businesses of all sizes can mobilize their workforce - easily and affordably.

"The E62 device will broaden Rogers Wireless' reach into the enterprise market," said Paul Chapple, General Manager, Nokia Canada. "The competitive price point coupled with push e-mail on a stylish, thin form factor will make the E62 handset particularly appealing to small and medium size businesses as well as enable Rogers to deepen penetration in existing corporate accounts.

Nokia is delighted to have the opportunity to launch this product exclusively with Rogers and to assist them in servicing this key market segment."

For global business travelers or busy jetsetters, staying connected by voice or e-mail is made convenient with Nokia E62 device's EDGE network capability and quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) frequencies. Voice features include up to six hours of talk time and 14 days of standby time, superior speakers, five-way conference calling, all on a device that keeps you connected virtually anywhere in the world. All important information and appointments are at one's fingertips by synchronizing contacts and calendar locally with Nokia PC Suite, or over-the-air with Rogers MyMail solution.

On-The-Go Entertainment
Road warriors can access entertainment away from the office with the E62 device's built-in MP3 player, video player and gallery, plus game applications. Songs can be stored on the E62 device with 90 MBs of on-device memory. Also, mini SD cards can be purchased to store up to two GB of music that can be side-loaded for listening on-the-go. Browse through images or play video clips while waiting for an appointment or play games like the Golf Pro 2 application included in the E62 device if waiting for a delayed flight to leave.

The Nokia E62 device sells for $249.99 after mail-in-rebate with a 3-year service agreement from Rogers Wireless and is available for purchase across Canada through Rogers Wireless dealers, and retail points of sale or online at www.rogers.com.

Jim Hughes

Curiouser and curiouser, why would someone get this phone from Rogers when it's around the same price as an unlocked (WiFi equipped) E61? Why haven't Nokia got any E62 phone pages?

Hey Jim!!

There is a page up on Nokia's Canadian site.

Hey! You seem to know a lot about cell phones and I think I read something about you living in North Carolina, so you're pretty close to me... I'm a Suncom user and I was looking on ebay earlier for a different phone. I noticed this adorable Nokia 7360, and I was trying to figure out if it would be compatible. How do I find out, other than having to call the company up and ask them? I've got a Nokia 3220 at the moment with a SunCom sim card and I know I can slip the suncom card out and put it in other phones, but I don't know if it will work with the 7360. Any ideas? Email me back if you have any ideas :D

Hey Kaitlyn,

Yes I do live in North Carolina! The benefits of GSM providers such as Suncom, T-Mobile and Cingular is the fact that you can just slip that sim card into any GSM phone. The Nokia 7360 is a GSM phone so you should be able to use it. The only thing that Suncom will tell you is that since they do not sell the handset that they won't support it. If you have any issues please feel free to email me :)
