This is an X-ray of the breast that provides images on a computer.  Check with your provider to see if they use film or digital images.

A digital mammogram is an x-ray of the breast. The digital images are displayed on a computer screen. The images can be printed if necessary. An older technology provides images that are printed on radiology film. Check with your healthcare provider to determine which type of technology will be used, as costs may vary.

  • A screening mammogram is done on a woman who has no symptoms. In this test, two images of each breast are taken to help in the early detection of breast cancer.
  • There is disagreement among experts on the best age for a woman with an average risk for breast cancer to start getting mammograms. You should discuss your risk factors, the appropriate age for you to begin screening and the right screening interval with your doctor.
  • It is not clear whether additional computer-assisted mammography is better at finding breast cancer than standard mammography.

Based upon the requirements of the Affordable Care Act, screening mammography is covered without deductibles or copayments when performed by an in-network provider. Diagnostic mammography is subject to deductibles and copayments. When submitting information, your provider decides whether the test is for screening or diagnostic purposes. A diagnostic mammogram, done as follow up to breast cancer evaluation or treatment, is usually subject to a deductible and/or copayment.

Here are some things you should know before having a mammogram.

  • Tell the technician if you are, or could be, pregnant. The exposure from a single X-ray has not been associated with harmful effects to an unborn baby, but precautions should be taken.
  • Do not use any deodorant, powder or lotion on your underarms or breasts the day of the test. This could interfere with the test results.
  • You may want to wear a two-piece outfit. That way, you can just remove the top for the test.
  • Tell the technician if you have breast implants. A different procedure may be required.
  • You will need to stay still during the test, so the technician can take a clear image.
  • The costs for this test include the charge for the test (facility charge) and physician charges (for performing or interpreting the test). You may get separate bills from the facility and the physician's office.

What should I ask my healthcare provider before having this test?

  • Is there any preparation for the test? (If so, get clear instructions on what you need to do.)
  • How long will it take for me to get the results of my mammogram?
  • If there is an abnormality, who will explain the test results and follow-up plans to me?

A Celebration of Love, Marriage, and Family at Annual Outdoor Mass

By Tony DeGol

Vince and Yolanda Bumann have some advice for married couples.

“Give a hundred percent,” Vince urged.

“Just hang in there,” encouraged Yolanda. “Eventually everything you wish for will happen in God’s way. Keep on trucking!”

Indeed, Yolanda and Vince have trucked through 64 years of marriage, which qualifies them to share some words of wisdom on the subject.

Members of Saint Mary (Immaculate Conception) Parish in Altoona, the couple was blessed with six children and many cherished memories.

“We had a real good life together,” acknowledged Vince.

“We don’t always agree, but that’s alright,” added Yolanda with a chuckle.

The Bumanns were among the hundreds of husbands and wives who attended the annual outdoor Mass celebrating marriage on July 14 at the Our Lady of the Alleghenies Shrine in Loretto.

The Family Life Office of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown sponsors the Liturgy each year as a way of highlighting the importance of marriage and family in society and re-affirming the Church’s commitment to couples throughout their life journey.

“We’re celebrating that marriage means so much more than just two people being together,” explained Andre McCarville, Diocesan Director of Family Life and Missions. “It’s the witness of God’s love for the Church celebrated by a couple, and we’re blessing that, trying to encourage couples in their promises to each other, letting them know that we as a Church support you. We want to celebrate who you are and the witness that you provide for the rest of the world.”

As part of the Mass, celebrated by Bishop Mark L. Bartchak, the couples had the lovely opportunity to face each other, join hands, and reaffirm the promises they made on their wedding day. The Bishop then offered them a special blessing.

In his homily, the Bishop assured husbands and wives of his prayerful support.

“You came here tonight because you already know or you have heard about this better way, which is the way of Christ who is loving and full of mercy,” Bishop Mark stated. “He goes out of His way to meet us here, up here on the mountain in beautiful Loretto, to feed us with His Word, which is the truth, and to nourish us and refresh us with His very Body and Blood in the Holy Eucharist.”

The Bishop thanked the couples for their witness to all that is challenging and good about marriage.

“May God continue to bless all of you and your children and grandchildren who will ask you sooner or later, ‘How do you have a happy and holy marriage? What’s the secret to that success?’”

Following the Mass, Tom Fleming joked that one secret to a successful marriage is to always agree with his very wise wife, Linda.

In reality, it would have been very difficult for him to disagree with her sentiments on that spectacular summer evening.

“Sometimes life gets so busy, it’s just good to take a minute and really celebrate the sacrament and recognize what’s good in your partner,” noted Linda. “Sometimes we take things for granted, and we really shouldn’t.  We should praise God all the time for a healthy and enduring marriage, and this was a great time to do that.”

The Flemings, members of Our Mother of Sorrows Parish in Johnstown, are looking forward to their 30th anniversary later this year.

Jerry and Fran Fulare have been married for 33 years. Parishioners of Saint Mark in Altoona, they also enjoyed the opportunity to be part of the special Liturgy.

“It reflects to our children that we are very special in each other’s life and that God is very important to us and our family,” said Jerry.

Smile. Volunteer. Appreciate. Celebrate.

The second segment in our series, A Remarkable Way, with International Speaker and FISH! trainer Deena Ebbert, talking about simple and powerful ways to “Make Their Day”.

It would be a wonderful thing, but now may not the most convenient time to throw a great big surprise party with hundreds of people, So, what are some of the subtle and wonderful things that we can do to make someone else’s day?

Your FISH! Philosophy friends have four suggestions:

SMILE – The first one is really simple… it’s smile. When you do see another human being, even if they’re across the street or on the other side of the grocery store, it’s absolutely okay to smile at them. You might be the only person who has smiled at them all day, and a simple smile can be a true day brightener.

VOLUNTEER – The second thing you can do is ease a path. This might require a little more planning and a little more work. Think… is there something that you can bring to the table that will make it easier for another person? Can you pick up and deliver the basics they need? Can you do a little bit of cleanup for them? Can you help organize? Can you provide a service that someone may not be able to manage themselves but for which you might have a skill, gift, or talent? This is the beauty of volunteerism; because sometimes making a day is just a little thing that’s really easy for you, but one that makes a big difference to someone else.

APPRECIATE – The third step is very basic: please and thanks. A person can have big impact with a please and a thank you. The other day I was at the grocery store and noticed some of the folks who were cleaning and restocking the shelf. I caught the eye of one fellow and I and said, “Hey, has anyone said thank you to you yet today? Because if not, I’d like to let you know how much you’re appreciated.” He turned and looked at me, and I kid you not, he had tears in his eyes when he said, “Nobody’s said thank you to me in days.” Consider the power of the basic please and thank you.

CELEBRATE – The fourth step in the Make Their Day aspect of A Remarkable Way is – if someone in your world is a hero – let them know. Let them know. If we review what we were exploring in our first segment, Be There, there are so many ways to celebrate your heroes. You can call on the phone you, send a text, write a note to let them know… “You are my hero. You did something wonderful.” You can comment to them on social media. You can leave them a note in sidewalk chalk. Let people know when they are your heroes. They can be people out in the big wide world, but they can also be the people who are the closest to you in your life. If someone has supported you socially or emotionally or with their skill, gift, and talent, it’s okay to say, “Hey, you made my day. You made my day. Thank you.”

And thank YOU! The folks at ChartHouse Learning want to let you know how much we appreciate you. For over 20 years, on sunny days and days that are gone kind of sideways, you still bring that sense of joy to the world in the ways that you make days for other people.

So… Smile. Volunteer to ease the path. Let people know that you appreciate them. And celebrate your heroes.

I’m Deena Ebbert on behalf of your friends at ChartHouse Learning. We appreciate you. Thanks.

Rhode Island Sues Oil Companies Over Their Contributions to Climate Change - Pacific Standard

Rhode Island Sues Oil Companies Over Their Contributions to Climate Change

Publish date:

Rhode Island on Monday became the first state to file a climate lawsuit to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for contributing to climate change.

The lawsuit names 21 defendants, including ExxonMobil, BP, and Shell. According to a press release issued by Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Kilmartin, the lawsuit argues that the companies "[c]reated, contributed to, and assisted in creating conditions" that "constitute a public nuisance" in the state; "failed to adequately warn customers, consumers, regulators, and the general public to the known and foreseeable risks"; and caused sea-level rise.

"Rhode Island is especially vulnerable to the effects of climate changes that is now on our doorstep with sea level rise and an increase in severe weather patterns," Kilmartin said in a statement.

The lawsuit contends that, not only have the companies known for nearly 50 years that greenhouse gas pollution from their fossil fuel products affects the climate, but they have also known that the impacts "could be catastrophic and that only a narrow window existed to take action before the consequences would be irreversible." The companies, the lawsuit argues, "engaged in a coordinated, multi-front effort to conceal and deny their own knowledge of those threats," while discrediting scientific evidence and otherwise fomenting doubt about the impacts of their pollution.

Kilmartin added that the companies' actions have had "a significant and detrimental impact on our infrastructure, economy, public health, and our eco-systems."

The filing of the lawsuit in Rhode Island comes one week after a federal judge threw out a similar suit filed by the cities of Oakland and San Francisco against fossil fuel companies. The cities argued that the companies should be held financially responsible for climate change impacts caused by fossil fuels, but the judge dismissed the suit on the grounds that the legislative and executive branches, not the courts, should resolve such issues.

Corneal thickness measurement by confocal microscopy, ultrasound, and scanning slit methods

Am J Ophthalmol. 2004 Jun;137(6):1011-20. doi: 10.1016/j.ajo.2004.01.049.

Purpose: To measure corneal thickness by using a calibrated confocal microscope and to compare this measurement to thickness determined by ultrasonic and noncontact scanning slit pachymetry.

Design: Comparison of corneal thickness measured by using four instruments in normal subjects.

Methods: Thickness measured by a clinical confocal microscope (Tandem Scanning) was calibrated from measurements of polymethylmethacrylate contact lenses with known thickness. Corneal thickness was measured in one eye of 24 normal subjects by using this instrument, two ultrasonic pachymeters (DHG-1000 and Sonogage), and a noncontact optical scanning slit pachymeter (Orbscan II).

Results: Mean corneal thickness measured by confocal microscopy was 516 +/- 30 microm (+/-SD). This was less than the mean thickness measured by both ultrasonic pachymeters, 554 +/- 28 microm by the DGH, and 555 +/- 28 microm by the Sonogage (P <.001). Thickness measured by the Orbscan II pachymeter was 540 +/- 35 microm (P <.001, compared with either confocal or ultrasound) after applying an "acoustic factor" of 0.92, a default correction of the software.

Conclusion: Corneal thickness measured by calibrated confocal microscopy is approximately 39 microm (7.0%) less than thickness measured by two commonly used ultrasonic pachymeters and approximately 24 microm (4.4%) less than thickness measured by the corrected Orbscan II pachymeter. These differences are important for planning and measuring the effects of refractive and other surgical procedures. The precision of confocal microscopy is limited by corneal motion in an anterior-posterior direction. The difference between instruments suggests that verification of clinical ultrasonic pachymeters should be revisited.

Mechanisms compensating for dopamine loss in early Parkinson disease

Neurology. 2009 Feb 17;72(7 Suppl):S32-8. doi: 10.1212/WNL.0b013e318198e0e9.

Parkinson disease (PD) is a disorder with a substantive period before the emergence of motor symptoms, during which significant dopaminergic neuronal loss is counterbalanced by endogenous compensatory mechanisms. Many potential compensatory mechanisms have now been proposed; these are both dopaminergic, focused on enhancing effects or exposure to existing dopamine, and nondopaminergic, being focused on reducing activity of the indirect striatal output pathway. Compensatory mechanisms can potentially postpone and reduce the severity of parkinsonian symptoms, and contribute to the benefit provided by a symptomatic therapy, thus offering targets for novel therapeutics. However, enhancement of certain compensatory mechanisms may produce problems when subsequent therapies are initiated, e.g., the development of motor complications with levodopa. Supporting endogenous compensatory mechanisms, to delay or reverse apparent disease progression, is a novel and attractive "disease-modifying" approach to PD. Such actions may contribute to the apparent disease-modifying benefit of initiating early treatment with levodopa or rasagiline, as suggested by the ELLDOPA and TEMPO studies.

Mol Microbiol. 2013 Feb;87(3):641-55. doi: 10.1111/mmi.12121. Epub 2012 Dec 26.

Toxoplasma gondii undergoes many phenotypic changes during its life cycle. The recent identification of AP2 transcription factors in T. gondii has provided a platform for studying the mechanisms controlling gene expression. In the present study, we report that a recombinant protein encompassing the TgAP2XI-4 AP2 domain was able to specifically bind to a DNA motif using gel retardation assays. TgAP2XI-4 protein is localized in the parasite nucleus throughout the tachyzoite life cycle in vitro, with peak expression occurring after cytokinesis. We found that the TgAP2XI-4 transcript level was higher in bradyzoite cysts isolated from brains of chronically infected mice than in the rapidly replicating tachyzoites. A knockout of the TgAP2XI-4 gene in both T. gondii virulent type I and avirulent type II strains reveals its role in modulating expression and promoter activity of genes involved in stage conversion of the rapidly replicating tachyzoites to the dormant cyst forming bradyzoites. Furthermore, mice infected with the type II KO mutants show a drastically reduced brain cyst burden. Thus, our results validate TgAP2XI-4 as a novel nuclear factor that regulates bradyzoite gene expression during parasite differentiation and cyst formation.

Pyruvate oxidase, as a determinant of virulence in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Mol Microbiol. 1996 Feb;19(4):803-13. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2958.1996.425954.x.

Pneumococcus has been shown to bind to epithelial cells of the nasopharynx and lung, and to endothelial cells of the peripheral vasculature. To characterize bacterial elements required for attachment to these cell types, a library of genetically altered pneumococci with defects in exported proteins was screened for the loss of attachment to glycoconjugates representative of the nasopharyngeal cell receptor, type II lung cells (LC) and human endothelial cells (EC). A mutant was identified which showed a greater than 70% loss in the ability to attach to all cell types. This mutant also showed decreased adherence to the glycoconjugates containing the terminal sugar residues GalNAcbeta1-3Gal, GalNAcbeta1-4Gal and the carbohydrate GlcNAc, which are proposed components of the pneumococcal receptors specific to the surfaces of LC and EC. Analysis of the locus altered in this mutant revealed a gene, spxB, that encodes a member of the family of bacterial pyruvate oxidases which decarboxylates pyruvate to acetyl phosphate plus H2O2 and CO2. This mutant produced decreased concentrations of H2O2 and failed to grow aerobically in a chemically defined medium, unless supplemented with acetate which presumably restores acetyl phosphate levels by the action of acetate kinase, further suggesting that spxB encodes a pyruvate oxidase. The addition of acetate to the growth medium restored the adherence properties of the mutant indicating a link between the enzyme and the expression of bacterial adhesins. A defect in spxB corresponded to impaired virulence of the mutant in vivo. Compared to the parent strain, an spxB mutant showed reduced virulence in animal models for nasopharyngeal colonization, pneumonia, and sepsis. We propose that a mutation in spxB leads to down-regulation of the multiple adhesive properties of pneumococcus which, in turn, may correlate to diminished virulence in vivo.

Fury 2 Teardown - New Year, New Vape Destruction!

Posted by Alex on

Fury 2 Disassembly - First Vape Teardown of 2018!

The Fury 2 vaporizer from Healthy Rips was one of the last vapes released before the New Year and vapor clouds on par with units 2-5x larger make it a prime contender for vape of the year 2017. To figure out what makes this bad boy so furious we broke one down beyond recognition for all the exclusive details about materials, build and internal parts!

WARNING: Do not attempt this vape teardown, any disassembly other than the mouthpiece will void your warranty.

Mouthpiece Removal

The first piece of the Fury 2 we took apart was the mouthpiece. This section is meant to be removed for cleaning and connects to the unit with tabs for easy access to the loading chamber and mouthpiece internals.

Mouthpiece Disassembly

The mouthpiece is fully modular and disassembles into 7 parts. The black outer pieces secure the blue and tan silicone retainers that hold the stainless steel screen and glass vapor path within.

Gaining Entry

The only access seam we could find was surrounding the digital display. Once we pried the screen cover off and lifted the display we gained access to the opening point.

Opening The Chassis

Beneath the digital screen were 2 screws recessed into the casing. These screws secure the internal electronics and heating assembly within the chassis.

Removing The Chassis

With the screws removed we're now able to take off the outer shell of the Fury 2 and get to the good stuff.

This is our first look at the circuit board, battery and heater assembly.

fury 2 shell

Internals and Shell

The Fury is among the smallest herbal vaporizers released so far at only 2" x 1" x 3".

Not a single centimeter of internal space is wasted; the electronics and heating element are nearly a 1:1 fit in the shell.

fury 2 airpath

Airflow Isolation

Very well isolated airflow; the intake at the bottom confines air directly into the heater through the air jets in the loading chamber.

Inside the Shell

The Fury 2 is so light we originally thought it could be plastic but inside the shell is uncoated metal; the entire chassis is tough and lightweight Kirksite alloy.

This is it; the point of no return. Another quick reminder to NOT follow along with our teardowns.

Snip snip! We had to cut the wires between the heater, circuit board and battery to remove everything from the inner enclosure.

Circuit Board Removal

With the circuit board disconnected from the other internals we have a closer look at the connections and individual parts. The dual LED light panel that sits beside the mouthpiece is connected to the PCB with three wires. The front of the digital OLED display is connected with a double thick ribbon cable for electricity and data transfer. The brass colored ovals are the button actuators; both the buttons and housing feel high quality and sturdy. On the back of the circuit board we can see more well soldered connections and the Micro-USB charging port.
fury 2 battery 18650

18500 Li-ion LiPo Battery

The Healthy Rips Fury 2 is powered by a single 18500 Lithium Ion Lithium Polymer battery with a 5.92Wh capacity which equates to about 1600mAh. The 18500 is the smaller brother of the 18650 we most commonly see in portable vaporizers. 18500 batteries have the same voltage output of the 18650 for the same amount of power to the heater though the run time is typically a little lower due to the smaller length. We get around 40 minutes of runtime with the Fury with a full 90 minute charge which isn't far off most single 18650 vaporizers.

Edit: We originally thought the Fury 2's battery was lithium-ion but Healthy Rips gave us the heads up that it's actually lithium polymer, an even safer chemistry. Instead of the liquid electrolyte and rigid metal case of standard lithium-ion cells, lithium polymer batteries use a polymer electrolyte in a flexible polymer laminate foil to prevent any possibility of explosion.

fury 2 chamber housing

Heating Assembly Removal

Here is the full heating assembly from the Fury 2. The housing appears to be made of rigid thermoplastic with the heater held in place by a silicone retaining ring.

Accessing the Heating Chamber

With the retaining rings removed we get a view of the top of the loading chamber and the insulation surrounding it within the housing.

Heating Chamber Removal

After pulling out the heater from the housing we get a better look at the insulation surrounding the heating chamber. It appears to be densely layered cotton (though we could be wrong) with an outer layer of thermal tape to retain heat.

Insulation Removed

With the fiber insulation removed we're down to the heater wrapped with an inner layer of thermal tape. On the left you can see the dry herb loading chamber; the chamber is conductive and heated air rising through your material is diffused by the openings in the screen for uniform convection heating.

I dont see a good way to take apart this element but I really want to check it out. Time to pull out the dremel!

Dremel Time

A little chopping to the side of the cylinder and we're in! We're now able to remove the upper filter piece from the chamber.

Heating Chamber Disassembly

Both pieces of the heating assembly are pressure fitted too tightly to separate by force; luckily thanks to a bit of dremeling we're able to get a good view of each.
fury 2 chamber layed out

Heating Element Removal

Once we pull open the interior of the heating assembly we finally gain access to the heating element itself. The Fury 2 uses a resistive coil heating element, a style which is becoming more and more popular. Resistant metal coils provide ultra-quick heat up times and the most efficient use of battery, ideal for pocket portables. Air enters the Fury 2 through the base and travels up an isolated tube where the heating coil is contained. The heated coil controls the temperature of both the loading chamber and the air passing through it for a combination of conduction and convection extraction, the best of both worlds for flavor and vapor output.

Closing Thoughts

We're glad to see palm sized vapes finally hitting performance in league with larger portables. The Fury 2 heats in less than 30 seconds, hits surprisingly hard and the metal unibody feels far classier and more durable than a plastic chassis. The materials all feel high quality and the assembly itself was top notch with clean, sturdy connections. It's clear the design team put a lot of thought into which parts to use and the perfect placement to keep everything as tiny as possible, this is one of the smallest vapes we've used and there isn't a mm to spare within the chassis.

Stark by Mark Porter

On the day Coleman Stark discovered that he was a millionaire, clouds swept across the skyline looking for trouble and reflected themselves from the faces of puddles like dead things floating.

Coleman had decided to take off for the weekend to his modest retreat on the outskirts of Edinburgh. It had been a day to remember; the deal had been expected to close for a week or so and he had watched the balance live and online, refreshing the browser like an e-bay nomad.

With the site updated and the money virtually deposited, Coleman celebrated alone by draining the pre-empted champagne flute and slinging some loose particulars into a holdall. He walked around his bedroom, checking and re-checking his balance, his watch and the view from his window. His stomach twitched nervously, warning him against over excitement. He had to watch fatty acids; they tore away at his chest if left unchecked.

The drive from Fife to Edinburgh had been an exhilarating one. Driving just fast enough to risk his new found fortune; Coleman took the old coast road, crossed the Forth Road Bridge over to Queensferry and resumed the trip down the A8000. He had traced this trip many times before, laughed to himself five months earlier when the A8000 tallied with the eight hundred thousand sitting in his Nat West account.

His Audi Coupe gripped the tarmac and uneven potholes as he fantasised about Porsche Boxters. Coleman Stark was a very happy man.

He had wanted to surprise Josie. The promises had fallen too easily from him before, waterfalls of hollow sounding streams, licking the river bed desperately, attempting to gain a foothold on reality. Josie had been patient, maybe too patient in the past and Coleman was looking forward to showing her the balance, now printed off and sitting smugly in his inside jacket pocket. He was looking forward to seeing her face when he told her to buy anything she wanted. He was looking forward to the post purchase sex. Film sex, unrealistic sex. The kind that leaves a mess of destruction behind.

By the time he unlocked the front door that had been bought to keep a sharper eye on his business affairs in the city, Coleman was already dreaming about up scaling and sunshine.

He couldn’t afford to go mad, not yet but a million pounds was so powerfully symbolic, so wrapped up in the language of success that he felt the need to reflect. This would be his platform. He had been warned by others around him; it never stops, there is never enough. All he could think about at half a million of personal wealth was where the next half would come from. He had called his dad on the hands free to give him the news. The same dad that had told him years ago that millionaire status was unrealistic, that he should concentrate on his strengths and live in what he called the real world. Well, this was real enough now. “Fair play, son. I’m proud of you.”

Coleman revisited pivotal memories as he lay on the bed, relishing the moment. He had left a voice message for Josie, her return call would be one for dinner party boasting, he could hear himself now; over vintage port, cigar on the burn.

Josie called shortly after seven. She would join him first thing in the morning.

“I can’t get away just now,” she had informed him. “We have the inspection on Monday morning, if I am going to take a weekend out; I need to tie up a few things here first.” She had sounded preoccupied, distracted. Coleman was feeling too much of everything to fully notice. The impression fluttered briefly around him and was gone as he tried to give nothing away.

“Does it have to be this weekend? I have a lot on.”

“I know but you will see why when you get here, it won’t be time wasted. Promise.”

Coleman told himself that he had probably left the idea of a marriage proposal in Josie’s head. If that is what it took to get her there, well… he had resorted to shadier tactics in the past. Marriage was not out of the question, now that he considered it. He would be forty soon. Not the youngest millionaire on record, not by any stretch but his first marriage had ended badly just into his thirties. It had been brief, torrid and eventually turgid before Hannah had given him an out after four years by sleeping with her tennis coach. Coleman had been insanely jealous, not least because the tennis coach had sported a tremendous pair of tits.

That setback had almost derailed him but he wasn’t about to allow any woman to kill his fortitude.

Coleman ran the bath, emptied another magnum and let the evening take care of itself.

“Did you sleep in? I thought you would be up with the larks.”

Coleman waits as the room slips into doubtful focus. His hangover momentarily stunts him and it is a few seconds before he realises where he is, remembers the circumstances.

Josie stands at the foot of the bed, dressed casually in something that he guesses could be Laura Ashley. “What was the excitement all about?”

“Excitement?” he rises from the bed, not bothering to cover his morning bone with anything, hoping that she will be overcome with a lust for porn star calibre sex. She doesn’t even glance downwards and his enthusiasm dies on the vine.

“Come with me,” he tells her and pushes his arms into the dressing gown that lives full time in the part time accommodation. “I have something very important to show you.” He takes her hand and with a schoolboy devil about him, tows her into the living room and asks her to close her eyes. He briefly considers cracking out the hard on again but lets it go. She stands dutifully, hands clasped in front of her. Eyes closed. He can see the movement beneath her lids; she blindly searches the room, speculative, curious.

Once the circus of the event has faded, Coleman is left to reflect on the lack of coincidence at work. The day after he becomes a millionaire, his common law, same in the eyes of the law, she tells him “wife” tells him she wants a “divorce.”

Greedy bitch. Who the fucking hell does she think she is? Fucking scruffy Glasgow tart. She is still talking money and entitlement when the empty magnum finds the soft spot on the back of her scalp. It happens so quickly that Coleman barely has time to acquaint himself with the mechanics of it. The bottle slips from his fingers, bounces with a dead clunk off the inch long pile.

This had not been the plan. Not been the point.

Who did one pay at a moment like this? Who made it go away?

My Life with God

Notice the Pattern

photo-1514880448122-7e417213b996We don’t need to accept every piece of advice we get. In fact, we can’t. We have to discern. But often, we don’t discern. Instead, we pick and choose what we want to hear and apply. Anything else, we reject. And we should certainly reject some things, but when we reject them simply because they make us uncomfortable, or making the change would infringe on what’s convenient to us, we are likely in the wrong. We can get frustrated with hearing the same thing from a variety of people – feedback or suggestions or reflections of what people see us doing that might not be healthy or right – but let’s not automatically toss it aside because we don’t like it. When we hear consistent feedback from multiple sources, especially people who we know care for us, we need to listen. We need to consider what changes we might need to make.

Listen for patterns. And watch your own patterns. Perhaps you don’t hear consistent feedback because of the people you are avoiding. You aren’t inviting people who care to speak into your life, because what you know they would say makes you uncomfortable. It’s easier to reject being around those people and the value of what they say than to face what truth they might have for you. Or maybe you invite people into your life on your own conditions, only hanging out long enough that conversations can’t get deep and personal. Or perhaps you do life deeply with people except you sift certain things into the “not listening to” category.

We squirm or get defensive at times. But maybe it’s that very response we need to attend to and consider if there is merit to the patterns of what we hear from others.

(original version in Spanish published in “El Vigía”, 28-Jan-2013)

The parcels sector in Spain is experiencing a period of ups and downs. Bankruptcy, EREs, corporate restructurings and acquisitions of Spanish companies by foreign firms. This article will focus on the last point, and at first it is important to recognize that the examples as seen over the last few months cannot really be put into the same bucket since they are very different in nature.

There are cases of companies, like Ochoa, which, for whatever reasons -economic crisis, mismanagement, bad luck, etc.- are on the verge of bankruptcy, and which attract potential buyers, Spanish or foreign, seeking good opportunities and at the best price. We will see if the solutions eventually come from within or from outside Spain. On the other hand, there are other types of movements as well. These have to do with companies in good health, such as the case of Azkar. This phenomenon is a wider spread trend in Europe. Not long ago, New Zealand-based logistics operator Mainfreight acquired the Dutch company Wim Bosman, a family business with a long track record and in a situation not unlike that of Azkar (lack of generational follow-up, but with good potential for a qualitative and quantitative leap). Until today this merger seems to be working very well. In both cases, both of Azkar and Wim Bosman, the companies were sold to a foreign company, supposedly not because they had to, but because they had first studied the alternatives and ultimately chose the best solution under the criteria that they felt more correct, between good sale price, future of the company and other considerations.

Another recent example is the increased participation in Seur by the French Geopost. This operation was not a surprise to the industry, as Geopost had already long ago started buying Seur franchises, and its influence was already noted in the management of Seur. In this sense, this latest move seems just a logical step in what started already time ago.

You could add other type of movement, although in some cases they haven’t even begun to occur “officially”, and this is the desire of disinvestment in logistics and transport by very diversified groups as FCC, ACS or even the government itself. We will see what happens with the possible sale of FCC Logistics. Because of the sheer size however, it seems clear that this purchase is not a viable option to just any company (whether Spanish or foreign).

Should we be worried that only foreign businesses seem to be investing in Spain? From a negative standpoint, we could highlight the perspective of loss of control. Always depending on owners who are not in Spain, who are interested in the short and medium term, taking generated profits away to the parent company in case there are benefits, or to re-sell the company in the event that no profitability is obtained. But there is also a positive reading possible, which to me is more interesting and this is noting that at least someone invests in the parcel-industry in Spain. In this way at least a part of the business and the associated jobs are secured. Moreover, in the case of Dachser/Azkar and Seur/Geopost, everyone involved is speaking in positive terms, with an eye towards investment plans for the future.

Obviously, we should really see in due course if and how these investments will materialize, but we must not forget that such acquisitions are not for free, they cost a lot of money as well as they are very time consuming and require a lot of management attention. Therefore, I think it should be interpreted as a serious commitment on the part of buyers. Moreover, we should also not forget that in both cases this is about the purchase of Spanish companies that were not in losses. In other words, this is not about buyers who are looking for the cheapest deal possible. Already for a long time we have been talking about the concentration of companies in the field of transport and logistics, and beyond the effects of the economic crisis I think these recent movements simply reflect what was to come anyway. I don’t think we’ve reached the end yet, but I still hope that in the end the industry will be healthier, more transparent and in better shape for the long term. And I think it’s better to accomplish this with the help of foreign companies than to fail without them.

In addition to the examples above, there is another recent movement that deserves attention, such as the acquisition of e-fulfillment specialist Celeritas by media-company SGEL, that via this operation seeks to “position itself strongly in a growing sector such as e-commerce”. (El Vigía, December 17, 2012). First, I believe that it is very positive to see that there actually is a growing segment in logistics. Secondly it is also an interesting movement which is in line with the trend of so-called e-tailing, or electronic commerce, which is gaining in importance. Experience shows that the associated logistics is not equal to “traditional” logistics and that the supply chain has become a true element of competitiveness in the field of e-commerce.

In the online world, this fact is already well tested, especially by the failure of companies that had not resolved the issue. It is not a coincidence that the multinational Amazon builds up their own warehouses, because they still have much more experience in e-fulfillment than most logistics operators in the industry. Their latest move: the purchase of Kiva Systems, a world-leader in material handling systems and automated warehouses. Let’s take note. Likewise, in the transportation associated to e-commerce there are important challenges to be solved, which for many incumbents of the transport industry with their roots in the B2B sector remain highly complex, such as delivery at private homes during non-work hours, the economies underlying distribution network performance with many small deliveries instead of few larger deliveries and last but not least, returns management (practice in the Netherlands in the field of online fashion sales shows that an average of 30% to 40% of shipments generates returns). The last movement of Amazon in its home market in this aspect is the introduction of same-day delivery service: delivery within hours of ordering. Again, let’s take note, because what is clear is that the logistics sector continues to move and I think the good news is that there are finally some positive signs, talking about investment for the future and about at least one segment that is growing.

About time.

The “Sorry” Button: In Memory of “Car Talk’s” Tom Magliozzi

4 Nov
Half of NPR's "Car Talk" duo, Tom Magliozzi, 1937-2014

Half of NPR’s “Car Talk” duo, Tom Magliozzi, 1937-2014

This was originally delivered as a sermon Rosh HaShanah Night, September 16, 2012.

“Car Talk,” has been one of the most popular radio shows for a generation. This fall, its hosts are retiring. Yes, Ray and Tom Magliazzi, also known as Click and Clack, are “pulling into the garage,” so to speak. For 35 years, Ray and Tom have entertained listeners with their thick Boston accents, self-deprecating humor and occasional advice about cars. I know next to nothing about cars–most things mechanical, for that matter. What attracts me to listen to Car Talk is not Ray and Tom’s advice about cars, but their advice about life and relationships, couched in their advice about cars.

A few months ago, they produced a list, somewhat tongue-in cheek, of the top ten new features that they would like to see in all new cars. Their top potential innovation is the ‘Sorry!’ Button. We know all cars have horns. As things stand now the only way drivers have to communicate with each other is with their horns—or their fingers. This state of affairs makes it difficult to create a friendly atmosphere on the roads. So, in the words of Ray and Tom: “Is there anything that we need more on the roads today than a ‘Sorry!’ button? We often do bad or dumb things when we drive, and we have no way to communicate remorse. It might just lead to a little more civility.

“As it stands now, when you tick off another driver, he or she has little choice but to remind you that you’re a moron [HONK!]. Then you have to retaliate with a clever retort like, ‘Oh, yeah? Well, you’re a moron, too! [HONK!]’ Say you’re sorry, though, and you break the cycle. A ‘Sorry!’ button could defuse a lot of otherwise explosive situations — not to mention, it would generate a good deal of karma.”

Imagine occasions for using the “Sorry” button. Say, I cut you off because I didn’t see you. Or, you’re stopped at a green light and your honking at the car in front of you to move already. Then you realize there’s a poor lady with a car full of kids she’s taking care of. Or, perhaps I got too close behind you, and it wasn’t my intention. Right now, the only mode of communication is a loud HONK! It’s shocking, aggressive, sometimes even abusive. The Car Talk brothers say let’s try something different. Let’s push a button that says “I’m sorry.” This would expand our repertory of communication. I cut you off, and I didn’t see you–I’m sorry. I didn’t know you had kids in the car–I’m sorry. I know I got too close and wasn’t paying attention–I’m sorry.

Why is it that in so much of our travels, our only mode of communication is the testosterone-fueled aggressive horn? HONK! You’re in my way, GOSHDOGGIT! (or fill in blank). Get out of my way! What if Ray and Tom’s idea came to be and instead of strictly aggressive behavior, we could just say, “Hey, I’m sorry.”

Now, imagine if we had an “I’m Sorry” button for life. “You know, I just said something I shouldn’t have said–I’m sorry. I was wrong; I offended you; I’m sorry.

In the pressures of life, we often fall into easy but harmful habits of communication. We are conditioned to make ourselves understood before we seek to understand. We may know intellectually that the opposite is the best practice: first seek to understand, then to be understood. Cultivating that habit requires effort, and many of us fall short, even in our closest relationships.

Imagine if every married couple took a course titled, “How to lose a fight.” Picture some typical marital bikkering. Those of us who are married have probably experienced this at some point. But there’s a twist. All of a sudden, let’s say the husband says mid-fight: “Time out. I’m going to shut up. Tell me again what you just said.” The wife says her piece, and then the husband reflects back: “You’re telling me that when I come home from work and I’m grouchy and hungry and had a hard day that you’ve had a hard day too and that I’m not sympathetic enough to you? Boy, you’re probably right.” Imagine this type of conversation taking place not only with married couples but between siblings, children and parents, co-workers, business associates and synagogue members. That’s an example of bringing the I’m Sorry Button into life.

Well, I have good news, everybody. We do have an “I’m Sorry” button for life. We Jews call it Aseret Yemei Teshuvah, the ten days of returning that we begin tonight. This is our reset button. While ideally we should be in a constant state of teshuvah every day, during this season teshuvah is especially prevalent on our minds. Our tradition allows us the time and space to think, “What can I do differently to make myself or the world better?” In teshuvah, we dare to think about ways in which we can change our habits, getting rid of harmful habits and embracing nourishing ones.

There is an emerging science of habits. This year a fascinating book came out titled: The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, by Charles Duhigg. The author unpacks the neuroanatomy of habits. He breaks down the formation of habits of individuals. Then he studies habits of companies and organizations. Finally, he demonstrates how entire societies can be conditioned by habits for better and for worse.

Duhigg posits that habits–even once they are rooted in our minds–aren’t destiny. We can choose our habits, once we know how. Everything we know about habits, from neurologists studying amnesiacs and organizational experts remaking companies, is that any of them can be changed, if you understand how they function.

Over the course of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, I plan to explore in greater depth the role of habits in our lives. They have enormous effect on our personal lives, on our community life including here at Temple Torah, and on society as a whole. I invite you to join me on a journey over the next ten days to explore how we can embrace new, wholesome habits for ourselves and our community.

I don’t know if engineers in Detroit will ever equip cars with “I’m Sorry” buttons; however, if we cultivate the right habits perhaps we’ll never need them. May we be so blessed in this New Year.
Shanah Tovah

Inspired by and largely derived from D’var Torah by Rabbi Ed Feinstein, Valley Beth Shalom, Los Angeles, before the Chicago Board of Rabbis, August 22, 2012.

Asana, Philosophy

Fresh Take Friday: Supta Padangusthasana Part 1

Happy Friday! Today, we’re taking a fresh look at Supta Padangusthasana (Reclined Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose). This is a common pose done lying on the back. One leg is extended into the air, usually either with a strap around the foot or holding the big toe in the fingers. This is often thought of as a hamstring stretch for the leg that is in the air.

The pictures below depict some differences in how this pose might look (and feel) in two different bodies. While this is a pose that can appear in all levels and styles of classes, it is not always an easy or accessible pose for all bodies.

What’s the Intention?

A good question to ask when you approach a yoga pose is Why are you doing this pose? What is the intention?

Some possible answers that could come up for this pose are:

  • Because the teacher told me to do it
  • To stretch the hamstrings
  • To look like the woman on the left
  • To help the low back feel better
  • To calm the nervous system
  • To improve awareness of the body

There are, of course, many other possible answers – there may be more than one, and what comes up for you can influence how you approach this pose.

How does the pose feel?

A question that can always guide the inquiry that is our physical yoga practice is How does it feel? The yoga texts that we have tell us that asana – postural yoga – is just a small part of the yoga practices. Rather than being there for its own sake, the physical practice is an opportunity to practice the ethics, breathing, and meditation practices of yoga, and a road into a deeper connection with the truth of who we are. This means that whenever we do something a pose, we do it with a spirit of inquiry and awareness.

Some of the things we might keep in mind while noticing how the pose feels are:

  • Ahimsa – non-harming. Are you doing the pose with kindness and care?
  • Satya – honesty. Are you present with and responsive to the reality of how the pose feels? Are you being honest about what your body is asking of you in the pose?
  • Aparigraha – non-grasping or non-greed. Are you doing the pose from a place of craving or grasping? Are you trying to do more than your body is asking you to do?
  • Santosha – contentment. Can you do the pose in a way that is joyful and calm?
  • Sthira and Sukha – steadiness and ease. Does the pose feel steady and grounded? Does the work you are doing there embody a sense of ease?

These are just a few of the things that we can consider as we observe our own experience in the pose (svadhyaya, self study).

Four things to do besides stretch your hamstrings

There’s nothing wrong with stretching your hamstrings if it feels good, especially when we keep the principles of yoga in mind.

And stretching the hamstrings might not be the right thing to do in Supta Padangusthasana for all sorts of reasons. Maybe it triggers your competitive nature and sends you to a place of ego and comparison. Maybe it aggravates an injury. Maybe it creates a lot of tension or interferes with your breathing.

Even if stretching your hamstrings feels fantastic, introducing more variety into your practice is so good for the body and mind. It breaks us out of our habitual patterns. It gives our tissues different kinds of input. And sometimes it can help us gain new insights.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll go over four things you can do in Supta Padangusthasana besides stretching your hamstrings. Here’s the first one:

1. Figure out the set-up that gives you the most ease.

Start lying on your back with the knees bent and the feet planted on the floor. Is that comfortable? You can try adding a pillow under the head if you like. If you need more help getting comfortable or adapting the pose for your needs, please comment below or contact me, and I’ll be happy to troubleshoot with you.

Then try the following explorations, choosing the one that gives you the most ease.

  • Try adjusting your feet closer or farther from your sit bones. Notice what happens in your buttocks, hip creases, belly, etc. as you change the position of the feet. Where do you have the most ease?
  • Experiment with how wide the feet are from each other. What feels stable and comfortable?
  • Bring the right leg towards your belly. Does it feel better to hug it all the way in, or to have some space between the leg and the belly? Does it feel better to bring it straight in or slightly wide? Does it feel better to support with the hands, behind the thigh or over the shin?
  • Holding the right leg in, try extending the left leg on the earth. More or less ease?
  • Strap the right foot and extend it up towards the ceiling. Do you like holding the strap with one hand or two? Elbows straight or bent? Can you settle the heads of the arm bones onto the earth? Do you like using the strap at all? What do you notice happening in your head and neck, shoulders, hands, back, and belly as you come into this part of the pose? Where do you have the most ease?
  • Check in again to see if you like having the left leg extended or bent.
  • Explore small, slow movements in the right hip, knee, and ankle. How much bend feels best in these joints? Does the position affect sensation in the belly, back, leg, or elsewhere? Where can you hang out most comfortably?
  • Check in with the sensation in the back of the right leg. Is it intense? Are you pushing into the pose as far as you can stand? Are you yanking on the foot with the strap? Can you soften anywhere? Can you change anything about the pose to invite ease in?

When you do this inquiry, here are some of the ways your pose might look at the end:

There are, of course, many other options.

Best London documentary family photographer

about me

Hi I’m Rachel – a published and multi award-winning photographer and film-maker.

I cut my teeth over 20 years ago as a photo-journalist and now specialise in capturing real life stories of small businesses and families. I’m a mum, artist, northerner living in London, campervan enthusiast, music-lover and sea-seeker amongst other things.

So here’s a few more facts about me, that make up my story (and a photo of me in a Scottish loch with blue hair!):

  • I adore the sea in all weathers (though not necessarily in the sea come blustery winds and rain!). For me a beach isn’t really a beach without crashing waves, long empty dunes and touch of the bleak about it. It’s the Northumberland in me.
  • I could probably quite happily live on a diet solely comprising cheese. There’s really just not enough cheese in the world (apart from Wensleydale – the world can keep the Wensleydale!).
  • And wine. Really good wine. And the occasional (ok not that occasional) single malt.
  • Lazy sunny afternoons where the kids entertain themselves with a sprinkler and a drippy ice cream; digging in the dirt; or rock-pooling are the best.
  • I’m a little bit obsessed with my campervan and in my head would love to escape it all on a round the world trip. In reality we’d probably realise it was a prison on wheels before we got much past Dover!
  • I’m an enthusiastic allotment plot holder and avid chutney maker with the produce.
  • Sting used to be a teacher in my primary school!
