Four Fabulous “Fringes” to Adorn Crocheted Scarves

By Caissa "Cami" McClinton – 3 Comments

Hey, Crochet Spot readers! Are you making scarves for this chilly season? Before I moved to the hot and humid climate of the tropics, my favorite thing to make was a scarf. I would choose my projects by pattern or by yarn and just crochet away. I must have crocheted dozens of scarves in all different lengths and at different levels of complexity. One thing I realized is that I very seldom have added fringe to my scarf projects. I’m not sure what it is about fringe… I do like the look of it most of the time, but I don’t typically decide to add it myself. Weird, huh? Maybe it’s just a habit.

At any rate, I was thinking about scarves and how we adorn them and I decided to round up a few fringe and fringe-alternative tutorials. Adorn the ends of your scarves with any of the following:

Fringe. It’s classic. It’s versatile. Fringe can be made long or short, in matching or contrasting yarn, and thick or thin. It’s one design element that can completely change the look of your project.

Chain Loop Fringe. This variation on the classic lends a completely different look to the ends of your scarf. It’s creative and unexpected. Why not add this to your next project?

A Floppy Ruffle. If you want to go all out girly, why not add a ruffle to at least one end of your simple scarf? That unexpected floof can make your scarf look great (and a lot more complicated than it actually is!) People will wonder how you did that!

Curly Fringe. This takes your fringe adventure to the nth degree! Curly fringe is fun and feminine, and much easier than it looks. BONUS: It looks great with curly hair!

Now that I have all these ways to make scarves look even cuter, I’m inspired to break my fringe-free habit and get to crocheting a scarf today! 😀 Which of these ends, if any, would you like to try?

    Like you , I seldom make fringes on scarves unless I am asked to do them ,although I like how they look at the end . and – exactly like you – I don’t know why ! .

  2. Hind says:

    After seeing your four suggestions for making some alternatives to the usual knotted fringe , I fell myself tempted to try them all ,one after the other , on the new scarves I plan to make the coming winter . Thank you .

  3. Amanda says:

    I love the curly fringe! They look so springy. I also want to try all of these variations on various scarves and things.

Channeled message: Fear versus Flow

This blog post will be a bit of a departure from the norm. It occurred to me a bit ago that I have never asked for a channeled message for myself (and it isn’t because I am not struggling with issues!) For whatever the reason, I forget to ask for help from my most valued helpers. I finally asked Venus for a channeled message, and she did not disappoint. The reason I am sharing this

An “Ask Genn” Crystal Reading is a personal reading from the Crystal People, like a tarot reading via living crystal. In an “Ask Genn” crystal reading, rather than using a tarot deck to determine the energies presented for your reading, I use the crystal chosen for you and read its unique characteristics.

No Two are Exactly Alike One of the main ways how crystals are like people is that crystals all have something different to offer. The more you work with larger numbers of crystals, the more you will be able to sense the differences between them. Sometimes they are subtle, sometimes not subtle at all! Just like if we only knew one or two people, we would have no idea how different people can be from

TORONTO -- You’ve probably heard about David Onley.

He is remarkable for lots of reasons. He was Canada’s first news reporter with a visible disability. He’s been a dogged advocate for accessibility, and of course he was Ontario’s representative to the Queen as the 28th lieutenant-governor.

You probably haven’t heard about the time a man held a knife to his throat and threatened to kill him.

When Onley was three-years-old he contracted polio, a virus that left thousands of Canadian children dead or with permanent disabilities. In Onley’s case, it affected both of his arms and his legs.

He spent seven months at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children. His parents could only visit once a week, and could only see him through a window. That separation had a lasting effect, perhaps as poignant as the virus itself.

“That was worse than not seeing them at all because after a while you just sort of forget about them,” Onley said from his Toronto home. “It creates major separation anxiety.”

When Onley returned home, a new anxiety set in – one that came from the doctor who was in charge of his physiotherapy.

“When he would arrive, it was like the scene out of the Exorcist,” Onley recalled. “The man with the black bag on the poster and the silhouette. I was initially terrified.”

As it turns out, it wasn’t the black bag and imposing silhouette that Onley needed to worry about. It was the doctor’s technique.

Onley was chosen for a controversial therapy, called “The Kenny Method.” It was named after Elizabeth Kenny, who was an Australian self-taught nurse credited by some as one of the pioneers of modern physiotherapy.

Her method was specifically meant for polio survivors and involved applying strips of hot, wet cloths to damaged limbs and then “exercising” them, which meant physically stretching them the way they should normally move. The premise was that it would prevent deformities and build up muscles.

It was painful. It was also effective.

Onley doesn’t recall the physician’s full name, but he certainly can see him when he closes his eyes. He was a local practitioner from Onley’s hometown of Midland, Ont. and made the trip to Scarborough to administer the Kenny Method in the kitchen of Onley’s grandparents’ home.

On the first day, the physician began the exercises, which were extremely painful. The doctor stopped and asked Onley’s parents and grandparents to leave the house. You might think it was because it would be traumatic to see their little boy in such pain. That wasn’t the half of it.

“He didn't want them to see him when he pulled out his knife and put it to my throat and said, ‘You move this leg or I'm going to slit your throat right now and let you bleed to death. Now move the leg,’” recalls Onley.

Onley was terrified. But the threat was effective.

“You know what? I moved the leg and I moved the arm and I moved whatever he wanted me to because I believed him,” he said.

He never spoke a word of the violent threat to anybody at the time. The treatment lasted seven days a week for months. At the end of it, Onley could ride a tricycle, walk and even run a bit.

That sort of physiotherapy wouldn’t fly today, of course. It would be headline news and result in the doctor getting his licence pulled. However, the “ultimate tough love,” as Onley describes it, worked. His parents saw substantial improvement over the months of the unorthodox treatment.

Onley is not traumatized by the memory. In fact, he speaks affectionately of his time with the doctor, who he felt genuinely cared about his rehabilitation. He can even laugh about it.

“I've never had difficulty following orders from that time on,” he said.

Years later, as an adult, Onley met the doctor again.

“He could see that I had definitely recovered and I knew it meant a great deal to him. We had some great conversations. He’s a great man,” says Onley.

Two years after Onley contracted the virus, Dr. Jonas Salk developed a polio vaccine, saving countless children from the debilitating effects of the epidemic’s worst cases. The vaccine took decades to fully take control of the disease and Canada didn’t declare itself polio-free until 1994.

That’s been the same case for most of the world, where the virus has almost completely been eradicated. However, that’s beginning to change.

COVID-19 has disrupted immunization programs around the globe and now new polio cases have begun to show up in places where the virus was once held at bay by the vaccine.

Eighty million babies have now missed critical vaccines, prompting the World Health Organization to sound the alarm and ask countries to re-instate their vaccination campaigns.

If you’re wondering if your child can still be vaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic, contact your family health provider.

Onley, now 70, can’t say enough about the importance of vaccinations.

“Had the polio vaccine existed in the Tuesday before Labour Day 1953, I would have got it and my life would be completely different,” he said.

Although he went on to have a long and successful career, Onley wants people to know that just like with COVID-19, polio has long-term effects.

For him, lifelong effects include post-polio fatigue and, of course, mobility challenges. He says when a vaccine for COVID-19 comes along, no one will need to threaten him with a knife to get one.

“As soon as the COVID vaccine comes out I will get my shot.”

Anne Hathaway lip-synced Wrecking Ball and made the internet love her again

She came in like a wreeeeecking baaaaall…
Apr 7th 2015, 10:34 AM 5,845 0

POOR ANNE HATHAWAY. Though she may be an Oscar-winning actress, her overly earnest behaviour drives people up the wall.

But Anne has shown a new side to her on Lip Sync Battle, a US show in which celebs are challenged to (as you may have guessed) a lip sync-off.

The actress was up against her Devil Wears Prada co-star Emily Blunt, and performed an admittedly deadly version of Miley Cyrus’ Wrecking Ball.

Source: Lip Sync Battle on Spike/YouTube

Did she ride that wrecking ball? Oh yes she did.

And everyone who once openly loathed Anne came crawling back:

We for one welcome our new Hathaway overlord. Yass, queen.

This devastated Teletubby will speak to the soul of every sports fan>

Every Day

Monday, February 10, 2014

Tonight is The Life is Sweet Project; it feels surreal. There are still tickets available and would love to have a full house come 8pm. Teresa wrote two incredible pieces for Life is Sweet last year and I'm so glad she's back.

I should have went and got groceries yesterday. I should've rallied myself after the 14 hour journey to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, which was comprised of a 2 hour drive to the airport in Buffalo, 8 hours of planes and a 4 hour drive back down winding roads. I should've turned down the dinner invitation from my friend Kyle, should not have spent the precious 2 hours left in my reserve of energy eating Mexican with him and his friends, locals who are all mechanics and hydro workers, men who have permanent grease under their fingernails and refer to me only as 'Canada'.

Because if I had went and got groceries yesterday I would not have spent today being exposed to the never-ending siege that occurs on Mothers Day. The day when it seems the entire world celebrates what I don’t have, the only thing in the world I can’t find or meet or buy myself. At lunch, the waitress tries to talk me into the special, a chicken cordon blue sandwich 'inspired by mom'. If I had went to get sustenance the day before as planned, I would have been able to just hide in my oceanfront cabin, the one I rented expressly for the purpose of hiding out from the world for a few days to write and be alone in one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

But I didn't, so it was off to the supermarket to stock my little kitchenette. Forks is home to 3500 people, and the grocery store is comprised of a traditional grocery and hardware/outdoor outfitters shop, to save time in the event you want a garden hose, some overalls and a pint of milk. Today, it is my personal hell. Even fertilizer is on sale to honor Mom. Everyone in here has flowers in their cart, pink and lavender cards tucked in between plump hams to make dinner for their giver of life. Me? I've got mangoes and vegetable crackers. The stuff best eaten alone, over a sink.

Women in here walk proudly down the aisle, everywhere they go today they are reminded of their achievements in procreation. They all recognize each other and say 'Happy Mothers Day' over the displays of teddy bears and balloons. These Women purposefully pick out their groceries; they scrutinize melons and load up family size boxes of foodstuffs according to their children's age and preferences. I follow one woman around the store who has an overflowing cart of child-sized snacks and a ring with different colored birthstones; this is obviously someone’s mother. She walks with a sort of serenity that I don't know if I will ever have. It looks like she knows her purpose, even if it's just to buy snacks and braid hair and kiss scraped knees.

I hit the check out after wandering aimlessly for an hour, and decide at the last minute to buy a 59 cent red carnation. It looks so lonely and hopeful and I decide I will bring it to the ocean. I would have preferred a red rose, her favorite, but I can't really be that choosy an hour before closing on the most popular day of the year to buy flowers. The teen clerk loads up a big paper bag of my purchases and hands me the flower, carefully, like she is about to ask me to the dance. I take it and walk out of the store, proud of my decision to do something symbolic outside of my usual yearly tradition of bring angry and hiding in my apartment.

Just outside the store there is a huge native man. He wears a grey tracksuit, and has a shiny, jet-black braid that hangs to the middle of his back. His chest is expansive, kind of like bitch tits Bob from ‘Fight club’. Tribal tattoos dot his upper forearm and his skin is the color of burnt butterscotch. He doesn't intimidate me like some of the other men out at the reserve where I am staying, his huge size seems protective as opposed to scary. He spots my hopeful flower and me and calls out 'Happy Mothers Day, especially if you're a Mother!!!!' and shoots me a wide, toothy grin. I almost lose it right there. I want to shout at him 'ACTUALLY, I DONT HAVE A MOTHER SO DON’T ASSUME THINGS!’ I want to dissolve into his huge caramel arms, collapse into his bosom and have him stroke my hair and tell me I will be okay. I just know he would comfort me and have some sort of wisdom on how to heal a 20 year old broken heart and I'm certain he would smell like leather and pipe tobacco.

But I just smile at him and walk to my car, will myself to drive back to the ocean and be miserable in peace without fantasizing about paternal-type comfort from big Indians. When I get back I put on my rain gear and grab my flower and head down the short path to the ocean. I watch the swell and waves for a while, take a picture of the carnation resting on the sand, and think of my mother. Finally, I walk a little toward the tide and throw the flower as hard as I can. But the head of the flower is so much heavier than the stem, and since I am holding the end of it when the wind comes in, a part of the bottom breaks off. I pick it up and try again and it finally hits the water and disappears below the angry white water. I watch its red petals bob up and down a few times and then come swishing back out, landing about 10 feet from mine. I retrieve it and try again, but it comes back again. I keep trying and trying, getting madder each time. DO YOU NOT WANT MY FLOWER MOTHER?! I want to yell. I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND I’M SO SORRY THAT ALL YOURE GETTING FOR MOTHERS DAY IS A 59 CENT CARNATION THAT IS BECOMING MORE RAGGED WITH EVERY ATTEMPT. I AM AWARE THIS IS NOT A FLOWER THAT IS BECOMING OF WHO YOU ARE OR IN LINE WITH WHAT YOU DESERVE.

Finally, I give up. There are hot, angry tears are streaming down my face and the cold rain and wind are turning my cheeks to stinging red. I leave the flower sitting where it came back the last time at the edge of the surf between two shiny rocks dyed bone china white from the constant salt. I stalk off, angry at myself for trying, angry at my mother, angry at the rain, the ocean, and the world.

I get to a piece of driftwood and sit down and try to not freak out and collect my thoughts, my back to the traitor body of water that won't accept my offering. I end up thinking of Stephanie Ratza. When I was a kid, after my mom died, a couple of her friends would take turns taking me on outings. They were well meaning, but I always took them as pitying. However, they usually ended up being afternoons of them buying me things, so I tolerated them. Once, her friend Stephanie Ratza asked me 'Do you miss your mom?'  and I quickly and defiantly answered 'No!' for I was already full into my 'I am so tough that I do not need a mother' phase. Already at 8 I was not okay with vulnerability, I had a father that was falling apart, I had to be a stoic rock.

As I sat on that driftwood I thought of Stephanie Ratza and how I am still afraid to miss my mother sometimes. I mean, as much as I've practiced it over the years, its not entirely true that you can't celebrate Mother's Day if you're mother is not here. I mean, I DO have a mother. I got here, didn’t I? She is no longer here in front of me and I can’t ask her for advice on clothes or love or how to iron linen safely, but that doesn't really mean that she doesn't exist. Maybe that's all people really want when they miss someone who has died. They just want them acknowledged; they don't want people to forget someone so integral to their being existed. Just because my mother can't meet my new boyfriend or like my new haircut doesn't make the fact that she was here any less real.

I have a mother. Her name was Palma. She liked red roses and Bruce Springsteen and long nails and short hair. She was kind to everyone and she is still the most beautiful person I have ever seen up close.  She smelled like vanilla mist, had the faintest accent when she pronounced her 'B's and was so wonderful that 20 years later I am only now beginning to understand what it means to lose her. If I saw that Stephanie Ratza tomorrow and she asked me again if I missed my mother, I would say without hesitation, 'Everyday'.

When I finally got up and looked back, the carnation was gone.

Serving Size:
2 tablespoons

    Diet Types:
  • CKD non-dialysis
  • Diabetes
  • Dialysis
  • Lower Protein
  • Vegetarian

  • 1 small fresh ginger root
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 lime
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

  1. Break off a 2-inch piece of the ginger root (roughly the size of your thumb). Rinse, dry and peel it, and then slice into coins. Place the ginger in a blender.
  2. Rinse, dry and peel the carrots. Roughly chop them and place in the blender.
  3. Juice the lime and add juice to the blender. Add all remaining ingredients and blend until the mixture is completely smooth. If too thick add equal amounts of oil and vinegar to thin the dressing.
  4. Taste the dressing and if it is too sweet then add additional lime juice or vinegar. It should have a hint of tartness, but if it tastes too sour then add a bit more honey.
  5. Store leftover dressing in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Helpful hints

  • Ginger is very fibrous and may be tough to cut. To peel the ginger root hold it firmly in one hand and then hold the bowl of a metal spoon firmly in your other hand. Scrape the edge of the spoon against the ginger root to peel off the skin.
  • Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce if desired. Replace honey with maple syrup if desired.
  • This dressing is versatile enough to be paired with any fresh salad greens of your choice. Try it with cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, cabbage and also other Asian-inspired dishes.

Pub and restaurant groups see slight sales growth in July

August 17, 2017

It’s steady as you go for Britain’s managed pub and restaurant chains.

Latest figures from the Coffer Peach Business Tracker show that collective like-for-like sales were up by 0.6% across the sector in July compared to the same month last year.

There was little difference between trading inside and outside the M25, with London ahead 0.5%, compared to a 0.7% like-for-like increase for the rest of the country. Restaurant chains just edged ahead of pub groups in performance, showing a collective 0.9% like-for-like growth rate against 0.4% for pub and bar operators.

“It’s an essentially flat market out there, with the modest 0.6% growth rate exactly the same as we saw in June,” said Peter Martin, vice president of CGA, the business insight consultancy that produces the Tracker, in partnership with Coffer Group and RSM.

“Despite all the media talk of fragile consumer confidence, it appears that the British are continuing to go out to eat and drink much as they did last year – which is good news. However, the increased cost pressures that operators across the sector are facing this year, particularly from increases in business rates and food costs, mean that margins are being squeezed and businesses are feeling the pinch,” added Martin.

“Operators have been looking for efficiencies, but also increasing prices to mitigate rising costs. According to CGA’s latest Business Confidence Survey this summer, over 80% of operators have introduced at least some price rises this year, with a third implementing them across the board. These latest Tracker trading figures show that those rises haven’t stopped the public spending, but neither have they significantly boosted income for operators. It remains a tough market,” he said.

Total sales growth in July among the 37 companies in the Tracker cohort was 3.7%, reflecting the continuing if more subdued effect of new openings over the year. The underlying annual sales trend shows sector like-for-likes running at 1.6% ahead for the 12 months to the end of July.

“The market is essentially stable, with little dynamic movement in any of the sub-markets, geographically or by sector. The good weather in July should have benefited wet led venues which makes the relatively strong figures from the restaurant sector encouraging,” said Trevor Watson, executive director, valuations, at Davis Coffer Lyons.

“These latest figures will be greeted with a degree of relief by operators. Despite household budgets becoming increasingly stretched, consumers continue to indulge in eating and drinking out. We’ve seen businesses who develop exciting and affordable concepts outpacing competitors and attracting investors keen to support ambitious roll out plans,” added Paul Newman, head of leisure and hospitality at RSM UK.

The Coffer Peach Tracker industry sales monitor for the UK pub and restaurant sector collects and analyses monthly performance data from 37 operating groups, and is recognised as the established industry benchmark. CGA Peach is part of CGA Strategy.

The sale was real, but the buyers were fake

The sale was real, but the buyers were fake
Michael McClain was selling his home in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

Two men came to his door and said they were interested in buying it, and they had tried to but couldn’t get ahold of his real estate agent. He gave them a five-minute tour. They seemed interested and said they had relatives shopping at a nearby supermarket, and could they call them to come take a look? One of the men used his cell phone and called his mom, speaking to her in a foreign language, and then they left to go pick her up.

They never returned.

That’s because they’d deceived Mr. McClain. The supposed buyer who was calling his mom actually called an accomplice to steal jewelry out of the bedroom while the others were touring another part of the house.

Just You Wait: Hamilton, Madison, and the Federalist Papers

Completely by accident, the last book I read and the one I'm about to finish have a common story - a study in the 1950s and 1960s that attempted to answer the question: who wrote the 12 Federalist Papers with disputed authorship, Alexander Hamilton or James Madison? First, some background, if you're not familiar with any of this.

By Publius (pseudonym) [Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, James Madison]. -, Public Domain, Link
In 1787 and 1788, a series of 85 essays, collectively known as "The Federalist" or "The Federalist Papers," were published under the pseudonym, Philo-Publius. These essays were intended to support ratifying the Constitution, and influence that voting process. It was generally known that the essays were written by three Founding Fathers: Alexander Hamilton, the 1st US Secretary of the Treasury; John Jay, the 1st Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court; and James Madison, 5th US Secretary of State and 4th US President. The question is, who wrote which ones?

The authorship was not in question for 73 of the essays; each of these essays had a unique member of the trio claiming authorship in the form of a list shared with the public later (in some cases, following the individual's death). The problem is that for 12 essays, both Hamilton and Madison claimed authorship.

Historians have debated this issue for a very long time. In the 1950s, two statisticians, Frederick Mosteller and David L. Wallace, decided to tackle the problem with data: the words themselves. I learned about the study, which produced an article (available here) and a book, first in Nabokov's Favorite Word is Mauve. In fact, that was Ben Blatt's inspiration for book, which involved analysis of the word usage patterns (as well as a few other interesting analyses) of literary and mainstream fiction.

But it was through the book I'm reading now that I learned their approach was Bayesian. I've written about Bayes theorem (and twice more). Its focus is on conditional probability - the probability one thing will happen given another thing has happened. Bayesian statistics, or what's sometimes called Bayesian inference, uses these conditional probabilities, and allows analysts to draw upon other previously collected probabilities (called priors) that may be subjective (e.g., expert opinion, equal odds) or empirically based. Those prior probabilities are then used with the observed data to derive a posterior probability. Bayes was frequently used by cryptanalysts, including the code breakers at Bletchley Park (such as Alan Turing) who broke the Enigma code.

Mosteller and Wallace started off with subjective priors - they went in with the prior that each of the 12 disputed essay was equally likely to have been written by Hamilton or Madison. Then, they set out analyzing the known essays for word usage patterns. This also provided prior probabilities. They found that Madison used 'whilst' and Hamilton used 'while.' Hamilton used 'enough' but Madison never did. They then examined the disputed essays, using these word usage patterns to test alternative scenarios: This essay was written by Madison versus This essay was written by Hamilton. They found that, based on word usage patterns, the 12 essays were written by Madison, meaning Madison wrote 29 of the essays. This still leaves Hamilton with a very impressive 51.

Overall, I highly recommend checking out The Theory that Would Not Die. I'll have a full review on Goodreads once I read the last 20 or so pages. And I think I'm ready to finally tackle learning Bayesian inference. I already have a book on the subject.

5 Reasons You Might Want a Short Fly Rod

Updated: Apr 3, 2020

From diminutive 5-footers to lengthy spey models, fly rods come in many sizes. With all the available options, the 9-footer remains the undisputed king. The reasoning behind this is pretty straightforward; 9-foot rods offer the perfect blend of casting ease, line control, distance, and portability when broken down. If that's the case, then why even bother making so many rods that are shorter?

Personal definitions may vary, but for this article I'm classifying "short" fly rods as those measuring 8-feet and under. These rods may not be ideal do-all sticks, but they do offer some distinct advantages that may be of interest. You won't see me swapping out all of my 9-footers anytime soon, but I currently do own a 7'6" fly rod and have plans for an 8-footer in the future.

So, why bother going under 9 feet?

Accuracy: I learned this one early on while conventional bass fishing: it's easier to be more accurate with a shorter rod. Now, of course the skill of the caster plays a big role here, but my short to mid range accuracy definitely improves. A shorter rod is simply easier to control and be more pinpoint with. While it robs you of some distance, the accuracy at closer ranges is often worth the trade off.

Fishing in Tight Quarters: Ever fished a tiny brush-choked trout stream? I have, and a 9-foot fly rod can feel somewhat clumsy in these cramped quarters. From making tight roll casts to simply maneuvering through and around all that foliage, the shorter rod can prove to be less of a headache. One downside here is that line control may suffer and you won't have quite the reach to drop flies into tight holding spots.

Easier Portability: Compared to a 9-foot rod, a shorter model that still utilizes 4-piece construction will be smaller overall when broken down. Sure, the difference may seem relatively insignificant, but in a cramped car or overhead bin that tiny difference can be huge!

Snappier/Crisper: Shorter fly rods will often be noticeably crisper when flexed/cast. Rods rated for small line weights or those made from a more "noodly" material like fiberglass can be more whippy when constructed in the standard 9-foot size. Shortening the rod means less material, lighter weight, and a more responsive blank.

Leverage: For battles with deep-water pelagics and other big fish, short fly rods provide more power and leverage for applying serious pressure during the fight. Look at how short some conventional offshore trolling and jigging rods are. Not only might they work better for their given techniques, but they make mean and efficient fish fighting tools, too. They allow the angler to both pull hard and quickly pump the rod to get a fish coming in the right direction.

Hypophosphatemia Delirium and Cardiac Arrhythmias in Anorexia Nervosa

October 21, 1991

Published By ACUTE Center for Eating Disorders

To draw attention to the occurrence of hypophosphataemia in anorexia nervosa and to suggest that it may be a factor contributing to cardiac arrhythmia, a potentially fatal complication. A retrospective study of patients under the consultant care of one of us. All were adolescent girls or young women aged 14 to 31. During the index admission, three became acutely hypophosphataemic while receiving saline and potassium intravenously to correct hypokalaemia. Four patients were subsequently treated with phosphate supplementation. Two patients died, and three recovered.

Hypophosphataemia in anorexia nervosa patients may play a role in the development of cardiac arrhythmia and delirium.

Did You Know? Class Visibility in PHP

While it remains an imperative-style language, since version 5 PHP’s object model has gotten significantly more sophisticated. While in PHP 4 objects were little more than arrays with functions, the newer versions have most of the trimmings of modern OOP. Among those, probably considered a basic triviality at best, is member visibility. In fact, since PHP will assume that, if no visibility modifier is supplied, a method is public, it’s possible to write a class without ever thinking about its visibility.

Of course, if you’ve done anything much with OOP you can understand exactly why visibility is important, and why you’d want public-facing getters and setters to do your bidding (in most cases) instead of directly modifying members; heck, it’s about the closest we’re going to get to strong-typing in PHP. However, there is one very important “Gotcha!” in PHP’s visibility model: it is enforced at the class-level, not at the instance level.

This means, quite simply, that instances of the same class can call each other’s private/protected methods. I’m not here to decry this and tell you how to avoid it, because it’s here to stay so far as we can tell. I am here to embrace and, yes, evangelize it. Consider the case of the “User” object — that is, an object to represent the properties of a user. In most sufficiently complicated systems, a user will have to have permissions, which may even apply to different tiers of the application, or smaller object subdivisions, groups, etc – such a discussion is beyond the scope of this article – and I happen to already have just such an object in mind, as it is what is currently occupying most of my days at work.

Now, we have a user object, and somehow this object represents permissions. In my case, the user object will not always need to load its permissions to perform a task, and because of this the permissions (as well as anything else that doesn’t reside in the main table) are lazy-loaded the first time they are accessed via the getter. The block of code to do this, of course, is abstracted away, so any time I might need user permissions, I just call this:

And this function, declared as private, takes care of checking to see if permissions are loaded yet, and if not, it loads them. When the user object is stored in the session at the end of the script’s execution, the permissions are not saved with the rest of the data (thank you __sleep()), and the cycle begins anew the next time I try to access this data.

So where does this neat visibility functionality come into play? One of the tasks I need to perform now and again is determining whether or not a particular user can claim “authority” over another user. Which is to say, just because I have user management privileges doesn’t mean I should be able to disable a user who is flagged as the owner of an object equal-to or higher-than my own permissions extend. So, to solve this problem, I wrote a simple function called hasAuthorityOver which accepts an instance of the user object as a parameter, and then tries to compare their permissions. Here are the first few lines:

	public function hasAuthorityOver(User_Object $subject) {

As you can see, since the visibility is enforced at class level, and both of these objects are instances of User_Object, it is possible to call private methods on other objects, allowing you some small amount of flexibility in maintaining object integrity; of course, if you aren’t expecting this functionality, it can be jarring, but since it’s not going to change it’s worth embracing for the sake of making life easier.

Update! A new example enters the arena!

Another application of this technique might work as follows. Suppose you have an object Foo, which represents some arbitrary resource in a heirarchy, and Foo can have children which are also of type Foo. You might have something resembling this:

class Foo {
    private $children = array();
    public function setup(/* ... */, Foo $parent) {
        // ...
    protected function $addChild(Foo $child) {
        // ...

In this case, while the addChild method is hidden from public access, potential children may call their parent’s addChild method in order to add themselves in one easy step. This solves a problem of granting visibility between certain classes while still restricting it from the public scope, as you may elect to provide a “common ancestor” in order to allow objects to cross class boundaries. Food for thought!

Adventures in Parsing: PHP’s implicit semicolon (‘;’) before every close tag

Simply put, every time you enter a PHP closing tag, the interpreter automatically adds a semicolon to end the current statement before switching to HTML mode.  In general, this is fairly innocuous, and it might even seem like the interpreter is doing you a favor, since now you can omit semicolons just before the end […]

The importance of ZVals and Circular References

Just a quick post for now. Do you know how PHP’s symbol table works? To put it in nutshell, symbols are stored in one place and values (also called ZVals) are stored in another. Normally, this abstraction will mean nothing to you, but take the following sample code: $foo = &$bar; $bar = &$foo;$foo = […]

Free Compost

As part of International Compost Week, we are giving away free bagged compost to local people as a thank you for recycling. This compost is made from food and garden waste that you have recycled and tokens are available at five of our recycling centres on Sat 4th, Sun 5th and Bank Holiday Monday 6th May 2019 on a first come, first served basis. People can then return to collect their free bag of compost on Sat 11th May 2019.

Free Compost giveaway at local Recycling Centres

To celebrate International Compost Week (Sun 5th – Sat 11th May 2019) Derry City & Strabane Council are giving away a free bag of compost to residents of the District to encourage householders to keep up the good work of recycling their food and garden waste.

People in Derry City and Strabane can pick up free compost tokens at local Recycling Centres next week (Strahans Road, Pennyburn, Glendermott Road, Strathfoyle and Killen) as a result of Council’s food waste recycling drive.

The compost, which has been created from the food waste collected in residents’ brown bin caddies and garden waste, is a high quality product suitable for a wide range of garden uses.

Since the local authority introduced food waste caddies in 2015, almost 30,000 tonnes of food and garden waste has been diverted from landfill and recycled into compost.

Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council Cllr John Boyle is urging everyone to take advantage of the District’s free compost giveaway. He said: “I’d like to commend the people of Derry City and Strabane for embracing their brown bins and making the effort to recycle food in their caddies.

“It costs twice as much to send food to landfill as it does to recycle it so the switch from black to brown is saving money as well as helping our environment.

“I urge local people to avail of this fantastic free compost scheme by visiting the nearest of the four Recycling Centres and picking up a bag for gardening this Spring.”

Waste Services Manager, Nicola McCool added: “This initiative is the perfect example of our local circular economy in action and underlines the very real benefits to people of disposing of food waste in their brown bin.

“Unwanted food that ends up in landfill is the most polluting type of waste due to the release of harmful gases.

“Brown is the ‘New Black’ in Derry City and Strabane and recycling is a complete win-win for all of us.”

People can continue to do their bit to reduce food waste by re-thinking shopping habits, creating shopping lists, planning meals and using the freezer more effectively. Any food waste can be put into your kitchen caddy and then dropped at the kerbside in your brown bin for collection by Council’s bin crews.

Free bagged compost tokens will be given out at Strahans Road, Pennyburn, Glendermott Road, Strathfoyle, Donemana and Killen Recycling Centres on Saturday 4th, Sunday 5th and Bank Holiday Monday 6th May.

Residents of the District can then return to collect their bag of compost on Saturday 11th May where our team will be on site distributing until 4pm. Compost tokens will be allocated on a first come, first served basis with a maximum of one bag per household. Please bring ID.

Chaco Culture

National Historical Park

Overview | Map/Climate | Description | Activities | Lodging | Nearby

Chaco Canyon lies near the center of the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico, which is near the southeastern edge of the much larger Colorado Plateau. This region has broad exposures of horizontal sedimentary layers that have eroded into plateaus, mesas, buttes, and canyons.

Getting There

ROAD CLOSURE: Hwy 57 from Blanco Trading Post (on US 550) is permanently closed at the park's north boundary. Do not take Hwy 57. From US 550, go to mile 112.5 (3 miles SE mile of Nageezi) and turn onto CR 7900 and CR 7950. Follow signs to the park. Hwy 57 south is open from the park boundary to Hwy 9. There is 20 miles of rough dirt road. Not recommended for RVs.

From the north, turn off Hwy 44 (HWY 550)at County Road 7900--three miles southeast of Nageezi and approximately 50 miles west of Cuba (at mile 112.5). This route is clearly signed from Hwy 44/550 to the park boundary (21 miles). The route includes five miles of paved road (CR 7900) and 16 miles of dirt (CR 7950/7985).

From the south (I-40, at Thoreau), turn north on New Mexico 371 and proceed to Crownpoint. Four miles north of Crownpoint, turn right on Navajo 9. Continue east on Navajo 9 for 36 miles to the marked turnoff in the community of Pueblo Pintado. Turn north on Navajo 46 for 10 miles (dirt). Turn left on County Road 7900 for 15 miles (dirt). Turn left on County Road 7950 and follow the signs 16 miles (dirt) to the park entrance.

From the Grants area (I-40, at Milan) turn north on Hwy 605 for 13 miles, then north on Hwy 509 for 36 miles to Whitehorse. Turn east on Navajo 9 for 12 miles to the town of Pueblo Pintado, then Navajo 46, and CR 7900 to CR 7950/7985.

Both the northern and southern routes include 16 and 33 miles of dirt roads. Although these sections of road are generally maintained, they can become impassable during inclement weather. Call the park 505-786-7014 for current road conditions.

NHP map Chaco Culture

The weather in Chaco Canyon is inconsistent and unpredictable. Temperatures can fluctuate over 60 degrees during a twenty-four hour period. As with much of New Mexico, precipitation may be localized and one end of the canyon will experience a downpour while the sun blazes and rainbows appear five miles to the east. Due to this irregular weather pattern, reconstructing prehistoric climatic conditions or advising visitors about tomorrow's weather is difficult. Climatic data, such as the chart below, should only be used as a general guide.

The high desert environment of Chaco receives an average annual rainfall of around eight inches. The humidity is very low. Precipitation will frequently evaporate before striking the ground creating virga, the streamers that can be detected below rain clouds. Approximately 36% of the total annual precipitation falls in July, August and September when unstable tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico moves through the Southwest. This moist air produces cumulus clouds and dramatic thunderstorms, enriching the view while bringing much needed moisture to the plants and animals that live here. Throughout the remainder of the year, Pacific and Arctic airstreams dominate Chaco's weather. These systems bring cool temperatures and occasional snow storms.

Temperatures in Chaco rise and fall with the sun. In the summer, days are hot while the nights are cool due to the canyon's elevation of 4175 feet. Frost has appeared in every month except July although it usually occurs from October to May. The yearly variation of temperatures can be extreme with the record high of 106 degrees occurring in July of 1942 and the record low of -38 occurring in December of 1961.

If you are hiking in the canyon, be prepared for heat, rain, wind, and unexpected changes in temperature. Carry extra water, wear sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat, and if you are going to be out for any length of time, bring along a jacket or sweater. This will ensure your visit to the canyon will not be spoiled by an unpredictable change in weather.

null How to reduce the risk of theft and fire on construction sites

By taking a few precautions, you can reduce the risk of theft, vandalism and fire on construction sites:

  • Hire security guards to monitor the work site during off hours (nights and weekends).
  • Consider installing an alarm system and linking it to a central monitoring station to reduce the risk of intruders.
  • Post signs that make it clear the construction site is under surveillance to dissuade would-be vandals.
  • Have one single entrance and exit to the site, if possible. Secure the perimeter with fencing and lock the entrance so that only authorized personnel can access the work site.

Reduce the risk of theft of building materials, equipment and tools

Vandalism and theft are all too common occurrences on construction sites.

Here are a few precautions you can take to reduce these risks:

  • Avoid leaving machinery or large quantities of materials on site when the work day is over.
  • At the end of the day, make sure any equipment, tools and materials that need to stay on the site are locked away and protected by an alarm system.
  • Make sure that the job site and entrances are well lit to discourage intruders.
  • Equip storage areas with cameras and movement detectors.
  • Encourage workers and suppliers to report any theft, attempted theft or vandalism they witness.

Reduce the risk of fire

  • Hot work (e.g., welding, cutting) should be closely monitored on the job site.
  • Make sure there is a sufficient number of portable fire extinguishers on site.
  • Maintain a fire department access route and make sure it is clear at all times so that firefighters can take swift action.

How to reduce the risk of theft and fire on construction sites

If you’re in the construction business, you already know about the extra expenses and complications that can arise if tools or equipment are stolen, a fire breaks out or vandals go to town on your job site. These incidents can also lead to delays in work schedules, which means you could end up also paying a penalty to your customer.
