I did do some stamping this weekend though. I had bought a couple of Andrea Walford's class planners when she had them half price and thought that I would use one of them as a guide for today's cards. This set is For All You Do and it makes such a sweet set with it's Pale Plum, Rich Razzleberry and Cottage Wall papers. I find these cards to be a breath of fresh air right now with all of the wintery/Christmas colors. Ahhh...
I have a special Christmas card that I want to make for a little friend of mine that I'm hesitating on as I think it will be a bit difficult for me. Why am I telling you this? Well, I'm hoping if I put it out there you guys will ask me if I got it done and if you can see it...you know, hold me to making it. Thanks ahead for your help!
**In answer to Debby's question in the comments...I'm hesitating because the card will be difficult to make. It requires some free hand drawing that I am NOT good at!**
Well, I guess that is it for now. I hope you make your Monday a wonderful one! See you soon!

Lately I have been noticing slight changes to how the uCoz system looks.
When I update a page, the pop up saying it is updated is using the old design. The very old one.
Just now, I made my site offline to add my new design that I was making on my 'beta' site. The website offline page is now also using the very old design, shown below.
It was a pain to get that screenshot. I had to open everything up just to crop my other monitors out of view so the focus was on that page.
Anyways, anybody else seeing this on their sites? If so, anyone know whats going on lately?

A Perfect Spring in Autumn
After our lunch, Rose was nice enough to stop by for a quick chit-chat with us about his life, career and we were full of questions for him (of course!).
Surprisingly during the lunch service, as hectic as the kitchen may be, it was relatively calm, even silent (it would be theatrically entertaining to see Chefs screaming at each other) but all the staff were calm, composed and presented beautifully crafted dishes with utmost detail…the 'brunoise' radish was very brunoise to the point where all of them were the exact exact shape!!
Making a reservation for dinner (harder than lunch) is almost a daily committing activity but it is all worth it in the end. For a restaurant that was suppose to be open only for 1 year and has stayed opened since then while attracting the best food critics and the secret Michelin inspectors deserves respect and commendation.
Diners enjoy the up close and personal view of the open kitchen, stainless steel, equipped with machines and glass walls.
Amuse Bouche: L'os à moelle (Marrow bone)
Plat: Palombe, purée de céléri (Wild pigeon, puree of celery)
Dessert: Mousse de chataigne, crème fraiche, glace au chocolat et sauce caramel (Chestnut mousse, crème fraiche, chocolate ice-cream and caramel sauce)
Amuse Bouche 3: Ganache a l'huile d'olive, vanille et chocolat blanc (Olive oil ganache with vanilla bean and white chocolate)
This last dish was the weirdest thing I have tasted but it played so well on flavors and texture. It was unbelievable. It felt as if I was drinking olive oil but then it hits you with the vanilla and white chocolate flavors.
I just wished I stayed on for dinner…

In school, we did quick recipes of fish, this time fried (one in a pan and the other in the deep fryer). My fillets were quite awful on the first one as the fish broke up when I fried and presented it, but I enjoyed the second one accompanied by a Mayonnaise tartar sauce.
1. Merlan Colbert (Fish that are open on both sides, breaded and fried in oil)
2. Goujonnettes de Merlan, sauce tartare (Fish strips breaded and deep fried, accompanied by a Mayonnaise tartare with capers, french cornichons pickles, parsley, tarragon and dill)

the highs and lows of denim: how to save our rivers
Being more than 100 years old, denim is part of a worldwide history, and it is rare to not find several pairs of jeans in one's closet, ranging from low rise to high waisted, slim fit to flare legs, dark blue to bleached. With brands such as Levi's, Lee and Wrangler who built upon the traditional fabric for men's workwear, jeans quickly became the piece that cool people would wear from the 1930s.
Fast-forward to today, in the US where denim originated, the average consumer buys four new pairs of jeans per year. It is hard to find a garment as widely worn and loved as jeans, just as people from every generation and culture would have deep emotional memories associated to it. It's however been more than 30 years that denim brands have moved their production from the States to countries such as India, Bangladesh and China – whose city of Xintang in the province of Guandong is now considered the denim capital of the world – and permanently damaged their rivers.
Since the 1980s, denim factories have boomed in Xintang as 300 million pairs of jeans are manufactured there every year, which makes for 60 percent of China's overall jeans production. So while US factories were slowly closing due to the lack of demand, Xintang's East River rapidly turned dark blue and started smelling, as the water used in the production of denim is spilled into the river. Indeed making jeans involves a number of stages including washing for the cloth to look old and used, which uses just as much chemicals as the dyeing process. In Xintang, and more precisely Xizhou Village, the soil is now completely unfertile and farming has completely ceased, just as fishing has become impossible in the river's dark waters.
In a documentary entitled RiverBlue: Can Fashion Save the Planet?, the filmmakers examine rivers around the world to show how they've been affected by the fashion industry. Soon enough, we see images of rivers completely covered with brightly coloured streams of foam caused by toxic dyes from textile manufacturing. Through interviews and shocking images, the film highlights the irreversible damages made by the fashion industry on the planet and on the people. In Bangladesh's Buriganga, animal life has completely ceased while cancer is being diagnosed in whole villages alongside polluted rivers in China.
Everything isn't as dark as it seems though and there is hope arising for the industry coming from innovative technologies and businesses. For example, the film points out to Milan-based company Italdenim that turns food waste into a thread coating that prevents the use of chemicals needed to dye denim, and in doing so, reduces the amount of water usage and pollution. G-Star Raw, on the other hand, creates denim made from waste plastic fetched from the ocean. Working with Bionic Yarn, they've managed to transform the plastic into yarns used in their denim production and clean the oceans in one fell swoop.
Smaller brands can also pave the way for a brighter future and raise awareness towards a fair and ethical supply chain. Ullac for instance is a young British brand producing denim in an eco-friendly way by first sourcing their material from organic factories such as Candiani in Northern Italy – the 'Greenest Mill in the blue world' – and using BCI cotton that encourages fair labour practices and minimises chemicals.
"We want to make dead nice, ethical clothes an accessible thing," said the brand's spokesperson. "We work with good people and ethical suppliers – every part of each garment comes from an independent producer, and we try to be as green as we can." The Italian mill has also recently collaborated with German label Closed on its new A BETTER BLUE collection using sustainable fibres and recycled cotton washed and dyed with innovative techniques then listed on the inside of the jeans.
I believe we all have to make conscious choices, and by being transparent with the supply chain my clients are able to love the jeans not only for the reason that they fit (perfectly!), but because they are a sustainable product. – Anna Foster, Founder of E.L.V. Denim
At the same time, reusing old material can also be a way to fight against pollution and waste. East London brand E.L.V. Denim has built upon the huge amount of denim destined to landfill to create new, desirable pieces. Vintage denim is then deconstructed and reassembled into modern and sophisticated staples, while keeping its original function and appeal.
"Working from a policy of zero waste, two jeans become two new jeans, and because the new ones are made out of vintage denim, no two jeans are ever the same," says founder Anna Foster. "I believe we all have to make conscious choices, and by being transparent with the supply chain my clients are able to love the jeans not only for the reason that they fit (perfectly!), but because they are a sustainable product." The brand's ethos is also to produce locally, and in doing so, to keep the carbon footprint of every pair of jeans to a minimum.
While denim manufacturing has had huge consequences on rivers in the past decades, there is hope that the textile industry can now get on a path that is both environmental friendly and more humane to the people working in factories. Big brands have to take a step towards fairer practices, but change can also come from consumers who have to ask for ethical products that don't harm the planet. And instead of producing millions of pairs of jeans a year, we have to look at the potential of vintage fabric that can be reused or recycled. While denim is a mass-market piece of clothing that touches every generation and culture, there are many game-changing alternatives to chemical dyes and washing involved in its production that will hopefully be looked at in a serious and global way.

I was horribly spoilt last night.
Jan was up and exchange for my spare bed she cooked me Mussells, followed by Chicken stuffed with Mozarella Cheese wrapped in Palma Ham with Potatos and leeks and Asparagus. It was yummy.

WASHINGTON -- Lawmakers opposed to tax credits for electric vehicles are again trying to eliminate federal subsidies for buyers of alternative-power vehicles and force them to contribute more for highway infrastructure.
Bills filed Wednesday in the U.S. House and Senate to terminate the $7,500 EV tax credit have little chance of passing, especially in a Democratic-controlled House, but renew a debate about the state of the EV market and government's role in shifting demand to cleaner forms of transportation.
The tax credit is designed to defray the cost of EVs that are more expensive than similarly sized traditional vehicles. Opponents say the program disproportionately helps wealthy car buyers.
"Rural America's taxpayers shouldn't be footing the bill for others to drive high-end electric vehicles," Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., said in a statement about the bill he authored. "The Electric Vehicle Tax Credit has benefited the wealthy at the expense of everyday Americans just trying to get by. It's time to end this wasteful subsidy and help rebuild our nation's infrastructure by ensuring every driver contributes to improving the roads we all use."
Despite the concerns over lost gas tax revenue, several states charge EV owners higher registration fees and/or other surcharges in lieu of those taxes. In Michigan, for example, EVs face 20 percent higher registration fees plus a $135 annual surcharge. For hybrids, the surcharge is $47.
The Senate version of the Fairness for Every Driver Act was introduced by Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee. He first made the proposal in October, with Smith following in December.
Cost savings
The Manhattan Institute, a conservative free-market think tank, estimates that ending the federal EV subsidy will save taxpayers about $20 billion over the next decade.
In addition to repealing the EV tax credit, the bills would impose a highway user fee on alternative-fuel vehicles because they are immune from gasoline taxes and ensure the money collected on a user's tax return goes into the Highway Trust Fund.
In a Fox News op-ed Tuesday, Barrasso argued that the auto industry no longer needs the subsidies as evidenced by auto companies' plans to churn out dozens of electric models in the next few years.
"Never before has the electric-car consumer had so many choices. Taxpayers, on the other hand, don't have any choice," he wrote. "Every time one of these cars sells, the U.S. taxpayer must help pay for it."
Eight of 10 EV tax credits go to households earning at least $100,000 he added.
Under a 2009 law, the $7,500 credit is available to consumers until each automaker sells 200,000 EVs. General Motors, which sells the battery-electric Chevrolet Bolt, reached the threshold at the end of 2018. That means the tax credit will be halved in April, then halved again in October for six months. The tax credit is scheduled to expire in April 2020.
Established market
An Audi Super Bowl commercial that cost an estimated $5 million and advertised that one-third of the brand's cars will be electric by 2025 is evidence "this market is firmly established," Barrasso said on the Senate floor.
There is general agreement within the auto industry, which has invested billions of dollars developing zero-emission vehicles, that the credits are important to growing EV market share. To what extent the tax credit should be adjusted, however, differs by automaker.
The industry is also encouraging states and utilities to expand financial incentives, build charging infrastructure and offer parking and high-occupancy vehicle privileges.
Last fall, GM, Tesla Inc., Nissan Motor Co. and others launched a coalition that seeks to get Congress to extend the tax credit. Tesla reached the limit last summer.
GM and Tesla have also lobbied to lift the cap, but GM's announcement of potential plant closings to free up money for developing electric and self-driving vehicles angered many lawmakers who said the nation's largest automaker didn't deserve more federal help.
A congressional report last November estimates the cost of the EV tax credit at $7.5 billion between fiscal years 2018-22.

What is IPL Hair Removal
IPL is an acronym that stands for "Intense Pulse Light". In fact, it is a form of light therapy which is used for various procedures, including dermatological treatments. One important field of dermatological procedures is hair removal.
It has been scientifically established that IPL is a painless, very effective method of hair removal. It is a treatment that gives secured and guaranteed results in a few minutes from the comfort of your home.
Removing excess hair form your face and your whole body could be an expensive and painful process. But, in case you are searching for a cost-effective and permanent solution, then you are recommended to use IPL laser devices.
IPL is painless and easy to use. It does not even require any kind of follow-up from the side of dermatologists or experts in the field. But, what is the very special advantage of IPL? It allows you to remove excess hair from areas of the body you wouldn't want to remove in a salon.
How does IPL work
IPL is scattered wavelengths of light, which affects the pigment of the skin. For such a reason, it works for some specific hair and skin tones. Therefore, it is more suitable for people with fair skin and dark hair.
IPL pulses through the skin's surface and targets a certain area of it. When it comes to pigmentation, it affects the pigment so that it can break down into smaller particles. Afterwards, it rises up to the surface and flakes away.
As a treatment for skin and face redness, it works with light energy, targeting blood vessels under the outer layer of the skin. This leads to a natural body response to healing, which breaks damaged tissue and forms new cells. This results in turn results in a clearer and rejuvenated skin appearance.
Using an IPL Hair Removal Machine
Using any IPL device is very easy. Before starting treatment, remove all hair in the area you want to treat with razor blade. Shaving before IPL treatment improves your hair growth cycle to get fewer hair loss. Then, run the device and align the treatment window tightly on the skin. This will enable the device to read your skin color.
Once the device detects your skin tone, it will light up to indicate if your skin tone in that area is suitable for IPL.
After that, press and hold the treatment button and wait for bright white flash. When the bright flash appears, move to the next area of the skin to be treated.
Larger surface areas, such as legs and arms, can be treated using gliding mode. For treating smaller areas such as armpits, the press-and-release precision mode is more effective.
What Do We Mean By Permanent Hair Reduction
The FDA states that permanent hair reduction means that hair growth regrowth must be stable over time. The regrowth duration must be greater than the duration of the full growth cycle of hair follicles.
In order to grasp such a meaning, you should recognize the three phases of hair growth cycle which include:
- Anagen phase: It is the active growth stage, during which new hair grows. It lasts for 3-7 years*
- Catagen phase: This phase takes place when the hair is separated from the follicle and called the "transitional phase". It lasts for 7-30 days*
- Telogen phase: During this stage, the follicle remains recumbent and the old hair clears away then the growth stage resumes, and it's called the "resting phase". It lasts for 3-7 months*
* All periods mentioned are estimated and depend on many factors such as: Body area, hair color, hormone levels, etc.
The fact is that the IPL hair removal is effective only in the Anagen phase of the hair growth.
Thus, the following table will show you some approximate rates:
|Body Area
|Catagen Phase
|Telogen Phase
|Cycle Duration
|3-4 weeks
|36 weeks
|18 months

|2-3 weeks

IPL VS Laser hair removal
IPL hair removal and Laser hair removal devices work in similar ways. Hair removal depending on both IPL and laser are procedures which reduce hair growth. They are very effective in preventing hair from regrowth.
Clients of IPL and laser hair removal can accomplish very successful results. However, in order to reach the best results, it is important to determine the most appropriate method for you.
So, What is the difference?
As mentioned above, Laser hair removal and IPL work in the same way and on the same principle. Light energy is absorbed by high-pigmented areas such as hair, which are heated. The heat breaks the follicle, which slows hair growth and completely prevents it. The major difference between laser hair removal devices and IPL is the light source. IPL utilizes wide-spectrum visible light while laser hair removal uses laser properties.
It is significant to know how higher-pigmented skin areas, such as moles, and dark skin, will also absorb more light energy. As a result, they heat up, which may affect the best hair removal way for you.
IPL Side Effects
It is logical that IPL hair removal must have some bad side effects. You might suffer some skin irritation, may be in the form of redness, itching, swelling, or even feeling sick. But, such effects should not last for more than 24 hours at most. Treat the skin irritation in the same way you treat a sunburn and keep the area hydrated.
It is also very important protect your skin from scratches and keep it clean to prevent any sort of infection.
One more important thing; The skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after both methods. Therefore, it is important to use sufficient sun protection on the skin before and after treatment.
IPL Benefits
Fortunately, there are many effective IPL devices available for home use. Thanks to the developed technology, these devices improve all the time.
However, all IPL hair removal devices, like any other hear removal devices, have both advantages and disadvantages.
What are the advantages of this type of at-home hair removal compared to salon treatments?
- Save time: With such a busy lifestyle, it may be difficult to find time to shave or wax. You will save your time by achieving an IPL treatment session that will give you permanent results. You can easily take care of the treatments at any time.
- Cost – Cost is very important for all people. It may cost you $ 200 for a good home device. However, you will need to consider the cost of any alternative flash cartridges that you may need. Yet, when it comes to the cost of many salon sessions and expensive follow-up, there is considerable saving.
- Convenience: You do not need to write your appointments down in order not to forget about them. You can perform treatments whenever you want.
- Privacy: If you do not feel comfortable with strangers in the salon, then home treatment is the unique and only solution.
- Comfort: When you use an IPL device and accomplish some sessions privately at home, you well feel more comfortable. Your home will be a form of paradise! Enjoy the great grace.
IPL Disadvantages
- In a salon or a clinic, a professional uses the device and will treat your skin professionally. Home-based treatments require close attention to all the instructions and precautions provided in the manufacturer's manual.
- The machines used in salons or a clinic are stronger than those sold for consumer use. Hence, results will be faster and more effective.
- Periods of 3 to 4 weeks should be allowed between treatments for the effects of the procedure to occur. This is also important to allow proper healing of the skin.

This device features 2 usage modes: Pulsing (stamping) mode and Gliding mode. Also, Flash&Go Express has 5 intensity levels. It also has indicator lights for each energy level.
In addition, the device has a built-in skin color sensor that detects if the light is safe on your skin tone or not. It's a cord device, it doesn't support cordless use.
Silk'n Flash&Go Express comes with a 2-year global warranty and a 60-day money-back guarantee.
Flash&Go Express is not safe on naturally dark skin, otherwise, it works on all skin tones. Moreover, it' not safe for application on light blond, white/grey, and red hair. It works on all other hair colors, however.
Studies suggest that IPL hair removal may not be appropriate for some skin types, especially darker skin. This is because skin color change can occur. Studies also have shown that the results are not successful for treating blond or red hair. Yet, there is insufficient data to determine the safety and efficacy of intensive treatment for pulsed light treatment.

London School of Economics
Legal rights and the political economy of debt and austerity in Europe
Email: [email protected] Tel. [+39] 055 4685 777 Office: Villino, VL034
August 2017 – July 2018
Dr Salomon is Associate Professor in the Department of Law at the London School of Economics and Political Science and directs the Laboratory for Advanced Research on the Global Economy at LSE Human Rights. She is an international lawyer working on issues under the broad theme of global economic justice including legal dimensions of world poverty, development, and normative, institutional and structural aspects of global economic governance. Her scholarship draws on a range of disciplinary insights including international political economy and critical development studies, as well as heterodox international legal traditions. Her work focuses on both the North and South (and the relationship between them) and she has published and advised widely across those areas.
At EUI Dr Salomon is working on an EU funded research project entitled 'Legal rights and the political economy of debt and austerity in Europe' as experienced Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow. The research project explores the European debt and austerity crisis to consider what it discloses about the influence of European political economy on the principles and practices of legal rights. The term 'legal rights' in this work includes human rights as well as the rights of states and these respective approaches underpin the two component parts of this study. This is a multidisciplinary work that has law as a potential tool for advancing the cause of justice yet probes how its emancipatory possibilities are directed by other dominant narratives. This study is an exploration of a clash of narratives and its implications for justice in Europe.
Dr Salomon's publications include: The Misery of International Law: Confrontations with Injustice in the Global Economy (forthcoming OUP, 2017), (with J Linarelli and M Sornarajah); 'Of Austerity, Human Rights and International Institutions', European Law Journal (2015); 'How to Keep Promises: Making Sense of the Duty among Multiple States to Fulfil Socio-Economic Rights in the World' in A Nollkaemper & D Jacobs (eds), Distribution of Responsibilities in International Law (CUP, 2014); 'From NIEO to Now and the Unfinishable Story of Economic Justice', International and Comparative Law Quarterly (2013); Global Responsibility for Human Rights: World Poverty and the Development of International Law (OUP, 2007).
Dr Salomon has been a consultant to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on extreme poverty and human rights (2009) and the World Bank's Nordic Trust Fund on human rights and economics (2011); Advisor to the UN High-level Task Force on the Right to Development (2004-2009); and a member of the International Law Association's Committee on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2008-2012). She was on the Drafting Committee of the Maastricht Principles on Extraterritorial Obligations of States in the area of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (2009-2011) and from 2009-2017 was Vice-Chair of the Association of Human Rights Institutes. In 2015 she was invited by the Speaker of the Greek Parliament to provide legal advice on socio-economic rights and international conditionality. Her research at EUI will build on that work.

Kentucky Derby: Good Magic (Curlin)
Foaled on March 1st, 2015, Good Magic was sired by leading sire Curlin and out of Glinda the Good. More importantly, his damsire is 2007 Kentucky Derby and Breeders' Cup Classic runner-up Hard Spun. He is owned by Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings and trained by the incomparable Chad Brown.
With a strong pedigree and an impressive set of connections, expectations on Good Magic remain high. He was purchased by Stonestreet for $1,000,000 as a yearling and has progressed mightily since.
Making his debut at Saratoga in a 6 ½ furlong maiden special weight, Good Magic would eventually run second to Hazit. Even in defeat, that performance was enough to warrant a start in the 2017 Champagne Stakes, which is a stop on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. Good Magic opened as a 7/5 morning line favorite, but would shift to 4/1 at the start of the race.
Starting out well with a good trip, Good Magic worked his way to the front of the pack early on in the one-mile Champagne. He seemed poised to seal his victory as he exploded perfectly down the homestretch out of the final corner, but was caught by a surging Firenze Fire, who had gone off as an 11/1 outsider. Battling hard down the line, Good Magic simply didn't have enough to win but came in second by a half-length.
As one of the most expensive two-year-olds in the overall field, there was never any doubt that Good Magic would prepare for the 2017 Breeders' Cup Juvenile. He was given soft 8/1 odds that few decided to back given that Bolt d'Oro was such a heavy favorite. Good Magic went off as an 11/1 outsider, but made it known that he was worth every penny that Stonestreet spent to acquire him.
Sitting pretty behind the pacesetting Solomini and U.S. Navy Flag for much of the race, Good Magic came roaring around the final turn and exploded down the stretch to dust the competition by a commanding 4 ½ lengths. To say that Good Magic chose the perfect place to score his first victory is an understatement.
Good Magic crossed the wire in the 2017 Breeders' Cup Juvenile with a winning time of 1:43.34.
In three starts, Good Magic has achieved a record of 1-2-0 and has $1,216,000 in career earnings. Over the course of the next few months he will be one of the fixtures on the 2018 Road to the Kentucky Derby. If he flares with class the way he did in the 2017 Breeders' Cup Juvenile, he will be hard to top in the Triple Crown.

Time To Give Back To Roy
Last updated 5/6/2013 at 8:01am
There is a fellow who has been around the park a few times and I think his odometer has gone around more than once. He is without doubt one of the best fiddle players east of the Mississippi, and probably even to the West, too. He is a slight person with a great smile and a warm greeting to everyone he meets. He has done so much for our community and is a selfless entertainer who responds anytime, anywhere to lend a hand and share his wonderful gift of music with others.

Due to unprecedented demand, we have taken the difficult decision to suspend new pre-orders for plants that are not currently in stock. Existing orders for these plants will be fulfilled,
Always dreamt of that picture-perfect, English country manor box hedge with dense lush green foliage tightly clipped into the perfect topiaried shape? Perhaps used to separate your rose garden from the bowling green? Maybe even to line the the central pathway to the east wing thus preventing the Corgis from straying off track when taking them back to their quarters? Well, dream no longer! (about the hedge).
With the innovation of our premium instant buxus hedge you can have your dream hedge in a matter of days. Skip the years of clipping, training, feeding, watering...waiting.. for the box to slowly grow. Our experts in Belgium produce the finest buxus money can buy.
Your instant buxus hedge will arrive in a large plastic trough perfect for placing on patios or you can remove the buxus and plant straight into the ground. Buxus will tolerate most well draining soils but it will need watering in for the first year.
Mycorrhizal Fungi and Your Plant
This quick video will give you a better understanding of what Mycorrhizal Fungi is and how it can help your plant. This remarkable symbiotic relationship will work wonders for your garden.
Once joined with the plant this fungi will travel through the soil creating a truly massive root system. This 'hybrid' root system is highly efficient at finding nutrients from places where a plant's root cannot travel, releasing soil bound chemicals, including those from our trusted fertilisers, and transporting these back to its partner, a beneficial relationship that will persist throughout the life of the plant. A healthy plant with an established root system in a functional soil needs less intervention, chemical or physical.
Supported by the Royal Horticultural Society
RHS Gardeners endorse rootgrow™ because rootgrow™ treated plants establish better with greater vigour, replant more successfully, have better developed root systems and cope better with drought conditions.

Buxus can easily be kept tidy and tightly clipped, making it ideal for ornamental gardening without the hassle of constant maintenance.

This adaptive hedge will grow in almost all moist, well-drained soil and thrives best in partial shade. After planting it is important to ensure that the hedge does not dry out and the soil should always be moist. While the hedge is young it can be cut back by one third which encourages bushy growth, and trimmed between May and August. When the hedge reaches maturity it can be trimmed twice a year, once in late May and again at the end of August.


text: Published Oct 01, 2005The music of Gogol Bordello is difficult to describe. The bands own label of "gypsy punk gives the listener a rough idea of what to expect international rhythms and instrumentation, combined with a unique lyrical approach, all wrapped in the aesthetic of punk rock. Well, thats only half of it, and the other half is impossible to describe using the limited musical vocabulary traditionally attached to punk music. Things are loud, and things are fast. In the tradition of bands like the Clash, Gogol Bordello draw from the vast cultural mosaic in their hometown of New York, bringing together the collective experience of the many ethnicities and disparate cultures that make up their local scene. Musing on politics, the immigrant experience, and the disadvantages of growing up in the corn fields of Nebraska, Underdog World Strike is an album that must be heard to be understood.

WITH members residing in the West Midlands, Cheshire, America and Ireland, getting The Charlatans together to record and tour takes time and planning, but keyboard player Tony Rogers says it's well worth the effort.
"We don't live in each others pockets and don't see much of each other when we're not recording or touring, so it's exciting when we do get together.
"What are you listening to? What have you been up to? Listen to this! We shout, we argue, we cuss, we fight and we make up. It's still exciting."
Over 15 years after their debut single, The Charlatans are still very much together.
"It's inner belief," reckons Tony of their longevity. "You still want to be the kings of rock'n'roll, change music, do it. The day that little light in your heart doesn't shine, you should pack it in - doing it for the money is the wrong reason."
Reconvening last year to record a follow up to 2004's Up The Lake, the recently released Simpatico found the five-piece, who play Wolverhampton Civic on Monday, taking a different tact to the writing and recording process.
"We usually record quickly but this one was recorded even quicker. We booked into Hook End Manor Studios, a residential studio, rather than use our own, so we were living and eating together."
Recording live, the band's previously unexplored love of bands such as The Clash and reggae seep through.
"It was just what we were listening to," says Tony. "We've always loved that music - Terry Hall, Jerry Dammers - and you can't help but be influenced by it."
And while those influences do ripple through Simpatico, the band have no plans to give their older material a dub makeover.
"We only did it on this album because the songs suited it. It was great going down that path for this record, but if we tried to put a dub edge on the old songs we'd kill them," he laughs.

Penn State Football: Position Preview: Offensive Line
Who's Gone:
Center Angelo Mangiro headlines and is the only star on this list of departed linemen. For better or worse Penn State's front five is young and that means not a lot of change and turnover in the immediate future for this unit. Maybe not the perfect situation, but in theory this group should get better together, the question now being if it can get better fast enough.
Who's Still Here:
With nearly everyone returning Penn State could trot out an offensive front not much different than the one it had in 2015. Brian Gaia returns this season but now at center, and Paris Palmer, Andrew Nelson, Derek Dowrey and Brendan Mahon return as familiar faces in action. It seems likely that for all his struggles Palmer will return at his spot at one of the tackle positions with Gaia at center. Nelson will reprise a starting role as maybe Penn State's best linemen and Mahon and Dowrey could battle it out opposite whatever side Palmer work on.
What To Watch For:
The obviously question for Penn State's front is how younger faces are worked into the mix. The 2015-16 line was largely the product of the most able bodies at the time taking the field. With a two-deep roster slowly forming behind last year's starters the likes of Sterling Jenkins, Connor McGovern and more can start to push for playing time. What will be interesting to see at the Blue White game is how many different combinations are trotted out on to the field. Penn State will have to find a balance between getting a unit operating on the same page, and figuring out how long it can afford to experiment with different lineups.
The Short Version:
Simply put, this group is still a work in progress there is more talent and more experience, but it's hard to know right now how much a new offensive line coach and a new offensive scheme will help push this unit to where it needs to be. Chances are things will look better in 2016 than they did the year prior, but there ought to be a few bumps in the road still. If Paris Palmer can find himself early and often, that will go a long way towards keeping a new quarterback from the Christian Hackenberg experience.

Bright and early on a Sunday morning, eighteen students of Delhi Public School were bustling about their multipurpose hall, unpacking trunks, fishing out dismantled structures and carefully unrolling panels all over the floor. In a matter of hours, these students, from classes X and XI and XII, inspected, prepared and set up an entire exhibition and undergone peer guide training for the same.
When the young adults arrived that morning, they played a round of 'zip zap boing' as an icebreaker before they engaged in an exercise of 'Walking in Space' to realise in practice the utilisation of space – an essential concept that they would have to apply later in the day. There was a discussion on the life and social circumstances of Anne Frank – most of the students were already well versed in the story of Anne. They were then introduced to the idea of the travelling exhibition and their initial task for the day, which was to set up the exhibition in its entirety.
Post a brief demonstration of how to put together the dismantled structures they had recovered from the trunks, the students enthusiastically set out to assemble the frames on which to put up the panels. Then followed an intensive planning session wherein they decided how to set up the exhibition, considering the flow of the narrative, the route the prospective visitor would take, the available light sources, the available frame to panel ratio etc, which resulted in a diagrammatic representation of the floor plan of the exhibition on a whiteboard. Organising themselves into units, they then proceeded to set up the panels according to the plan exhibiting an excellent sense of problem solving, teamwork and collaboration.
After a break, it was time for the peer guide training workshop, where the students underwent training to act as guides to the exhibition that they had just set up. While discussing discrimination as part of the workshop, they raised issues of body shaming, differentiating individuals on the basis of skin colour, bullying, classism, discrimination faced by students with intellectual disabilities, gender disparity, communalism and discrimination faced by the LGBTQ community. The discussion addressed these issues as they unfold within classrooms, and within the homes of these young adults who shared personal stories of discrimination that they face and witness around them. They went on to share how they addressed these issues personally and how they think these issues can be addressed in a larger scale. They recognised the prevalence of discrimination around them, within their communities, refusing to other the act, and chose to at least attempt to address the source of the problem rather than merely holding others responsible. As the discussion incorporated genocide, the students heatedly discussed the issues of intolerance and violence, promoting the idea of a more tolerant society accepting of diversity within it, and why the story of Anne Frank was relevant in the present. When we reassembled after they had some time to acquaint themselves better with the exhibition, narratives of the past were linked to that of the present, questioning the repetition of acts of hate mongering and violence which are widespread in the present socio-political make up. Going back to the exhibition, they shared responsibility of the panels and the screening of the film between themselves, creating rotas as per their class schedules, and claiming certain panels as their own, exhibiting a strong sense of ownership towards the exhibition and the story of Anne. The day ended with a mock run through of how the peer guides would take their visitors around the presentation.
The exhibition was inaugurated on Monday, 26 June by Ms Leela Gour Broome, author and environment conservationist, who emphasised the relevance of the story of Anne Frank in the current political scenario and the need for tolerance and an acknowledgement of diversity in the country. The opening was attended by 140 teachers of Delhi Public School, students from both the secondary and primary sections of the school, along with their parents. The day of the inauguration, the students turned up with colourful chart papers to create a comments section for the exhibition and put up a 'Hear it from the Peer Guides' section. They made speech bubbles quoting Anne which they put up on the way to the exhibition and multiple signs pointing the way to the exhibition hall. Minutes before the opening, they were seen intently going through their panels, and history books, so as to be prepared for any question that they could possibly be asked. Over the course of the day the peer guides took their teachers, fellow students and guardians through the exhibit, conveying the story of Anne Frank and seamlessly discussing the harsh reality of hate crimes through time, interspersing the narrative with stories of the refugee crisis seen in the world at present, the events at Aleppo, the communalism and divides we are witnessing at present, in our country as well as the world. Channelling literature, they referred to the concept of purebloods and mudbloods found in the Harry Potter universe to explain the ideology of the NSDAP to a younger audience.
At the end of the day, school faculty were discussing the benefits of this alternative pedagogy and planning when to bring in their respective classes to the exhibition in order to use it as a learning aid. In an effort to bring the exhibition to a wider audience, Principal Chakrabarty suggested keeping the exhibition open for an additional week. The existing peer guides would each be responsible for training a batch of their peers to be guides, sharing the knowledge and skills they had acquired and practiced over the last few days. Tours in Hindi and Marathi were planned to be conducted over the course of the next few days to bring the exhibition to the non-teaching staff of the school and neighbourhood communities speaking languages other than English.
The travelling exhibition is currently up at the Delhi Public School, Pune.
-Anushka Halder
'Anne Frank—A History for Today' is an international traveling exhibition consisting of thirty-three panels detailing Anne's life, her diary and the Holocaust.
The peer guide training at Delhi Public School, Pune was held on 25 June 2017. The exhibition will stay at DPS Pune for two weeks.

Sermon for the Ninth Sunday after Trinity
29th Jul 2018
Sermon for the 9th Sunday of Trinity Year B
"But he said to them "It is I…Do not be afraid". John 6.20
People have often felt secure in great numbers and in enclosed spaces. When you visit the Colosseum in Rome its stones speak to you of the terror that was once practised within its great pock-marked walls. As you walk into the amphitheatre it is as though you are walking into the jaws of a great lion. It is a place whose atmosphere eats you up. Beautiful it is not. Intimidating it certainly is. Like it or not, such great amphitheatres, or as we call them now stadiums, tell us something we already know about us – that we are tribal, and we have always needed places of ingathering; places where we can feel the power and the swell and the emotion which is raised in being together in one place. But this kind of tribalism is often prey to the emotion of the moment and not to a deeper and more real sense of being together.
What a different scene is represented to us in the Gospel reading this morning, in which the disciples are together in a little boat in a storm and who see Jesus walking on the water and bringing calm. But he said to them "It is I…Do not be afraid". The Gospel writer John understood what we must know to be the case – that in life there is no one place of absolute safety and certainty. The psychoanalyst Jung would often speak of what he called 'life's vicissitudes', as though they were a natural and normal part of the experience of life. We might say that life is not all plain sailing. Things don't always go smoothly for us. Sometimes we might feel 'all at sea'. Sometimes life has and does take us into choppy waters. The Old Testament writers experienced these vicissitudes in many ways, and the psalmists in particular sent up their cries and their sighs. "Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord" Psalm 130.1 The psalmist owns an experience of life in which such internal turmoil is deemed natural and inevitable and to be accepted not as a part of something abnormal but as a very predictable and understandable. Jesus recognises this too, and in so many of his encounters he greets us with the words "Peace be with you".
John sets the figure of the boat amid the storm with finding faith in God amid the storms of life and not apart from them. The boat is a figure for our life together and our need for one another, and the Christ who walks upon the waters is the One who has come to communicate what we have called 'the peace of God which passes all understanding'. In the church we need to begin practising a strong and human understanding of one another which accepts that life has not been plain sailing for any of us. It is in our shared experience of life and its vicissitudes that we may more surely understand what makes us human; and come to a realisation in truer compassion of that which is understandable and forgivable. This must proceed out of inner peace which can only come through prayer and through deeper reflection.
The opposite of this could be a Christianity that places us at a distance from the very humanity which cries out for compassionate understanding and for the receipt of deep peace. Yesterday I met some 'Mind the Gap' Christians who seem so sure of who is a child of God and who isn't, Theirs is a Christianity that expresses itself so literally that it denies us our freedom to be. The 'gap' for them is the one which exists between their kind of believers and their kind of unbelievers. Theirs is a Christianity which must exist as a fortress or super defended battleship, just like the selfish ego ready to defend its territory at variance from the common good all around it. The real gap is the one which exists between a Christianity of the heart and a Christianity of the will. It proceeds out of its own emotional insecurity rather than out of any genuine love for common humanity and its many foibles. The message of the gospel this morning is of the Christ who has come not to deny our own fears or to banish them for good but to recognise them and to meet them. To give peace and to offer understanding and forgiveness, and so to set us on our way.
In the little town of Olney in Buckinghamshire there is a Newton and Cowper Museum. And this is a museum dedicated to two hymn-writers who compiled the so-called 'Olney Hymns'. But they were more than just that. Cowper was descibed by Coleridge as 'our best modern poet', and John Newton wrote the words to 'Amazing Grace'. He had been a ship's captain, and was heavily involved in the slave trade. During a storm, the sea was so bad that for the first time in his life he prayed. The storm as it were cracked open his old self and tore it out of him. Christ was revealed to him! Newton had come through the storm and he came to know that it was God who lay in the midst of it.
At the heart of all our defences, uncertainties, reluctance, vanity and stubbornness; at the heart of all our struggles and doubts and failures there lies God, the God who has made us and who even now seeks for us that reconciliation which is our soul's true wellspring. The God who in Jesus brings always his strong peace. And so it was for Newton, and the crowning expression of his experience of God as a man born blind is given to us in the words of 'Amazing Grace'.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
And then the sobering words of his friend George Cowper which call for a simple trust in the God who makes things plain:
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
May the God who visited the disciples on the choppy waters of their existence also visit you, to give you that amazing grace which was first realised on the Sea of Galilee and which held the disciples together. For they like we, in and of God, find ourselves, all of us, in the same boat…
He comes to declare himself to us all in the words
"It is I…Do not be afraid". Receive my peace, passing all your understanding. May God's deep peace inhabit your inmost being.

Fit Review Friday! Swiftly Racerback, Speed Shorts, High Times Pant & Anthropologie Surprise!June 3, 2016
The Lululemon near me really needs to get more product in. I was hoping to try on Run With The Sun Crop but none in my size. They still do not have any of the new Define Jackets from the last few weeks. Hash tag Firstworldproblems!
So instead I tried on the new Speed Short in pop cut fatigue and the Swiftly Racerback in heathered desert olive. The tank totally washed me out. I thought it was too plain looking on me. I took my usual size 4 in both pieces.
So easy pass for me today. I can scratch off a few pieces off my list. I did however add something on my list that I didn't expect to like. The Lotus Scarf is sooooooo super soft. Price isn't bad for $48 either, but considering it is 90+ degrees in Atlanta, I have no more use for scarves anytime soon. If this ever hits WMTM I will grab it then.
Just for kicks and giggles I grabbed this kimono to try on. You can totally tell by my face how hysterical I felt putting this on. But actually the material is so soft I wanted to wear it around the house like a robe.

I went to Lululemon Avalon and Anthropologie today too! :P Which Lululemon do you usually go to? You're right, the heathered desert olive Swiftly looks really pretty on some people but didn't work on me. Plus I wanted more of a dark green pop to it. I ended up getting the raspberry blooming pixie speed short on markdown for $34. The "tank"/dress looks totally cute on you!! Happy early anniversary and can't wait to see the food!ReplyDeleteReplies

I've heard a lot of people refer to the Lenox Lululemon as the "flagship" one in Atlanta and that they have more stock/new things. Driving here is totally scary! Yep, we live about 10 mins from Avalon. We go downtown every weekend to eat though and always love to eat with new people (who love food too). :)Delete
Do you drive a lot? I would be too scared to... =T Would love to be introduced to some new places to eat! We've been to Bar Taco, Pure, some good Vietnamese places (the names escape me. I'm heading to NYC for a week soon, but after I come back we should meet up? Plus I LOVE your dog!!! =)Delete
I drive to/from work and around our area. Hubby drives us downtown because I'm scared to drive downtown. xD Ohh good food choices!! Love Bar Taco and Pure. Have a wonderful time in NYC and we're eating every weekend, so we'll definitely plan something! I know I stalked you on Instagram already, but are you on Facebook too? This should work for my profile: https://www.facebook.com/theyukinatorDelete
I like the tunic/dress on you. It looks good as a dress! I also thought the speed shorts look good too. I tried the pop fatigue Define in the store and it just looked too busy so it was an easy pass.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good to know about the pop fatigue Define. I wanted to try the space dye alberta lake one. I have a feeling it might wash me out as well, but it just looks so cool.Delete

If there is one brand that you can trust as much as APEC, it would probably be iSpring. They create USA-manufactured products that have a quality that you can trust in. The RCC7AK is just another one of iSpring's wonderful line of reverse osmosis systems.
This model uses a new type of membrane for better filtering and made several changes to the brand's traditional design for more compact storage and easy installation. However, while being easy to install and out of the way are some coveted traits in reverse osmosis filtering systems, how does the RCC7AK stack up when it comes to actually filtering the water?
The iSpring RCC7AK is a six stage filtration system that not only puts your water through three carbon filtering stages, a membrane stage, an a polishing stage, but it also has a built-in alkaline remineralization stage in which the water has its pH balanced and adds back in minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium that were removed during the filtering process.
While you might not care so much about minerals being added back into the water, it is not just about the health benefits, but these minerals actually give water that coveted refreshing taste. It is the reason we enjoy the taste of bottled water so much more.
This added remineralization stage is a major boon, but even if the model didn't have it, you would still be treated to water that has had 99 percent of contaminates including chlorine and fluoride removed so it is perfectly pure for drinking. It performs so well that it is able to proudly display the WQA's Gold Seal certification that assures top quality.
While the actual filtration system itself isn't particularly showy, it is relatively easy to install and fits easily in most kitchen cabinets. However, the part you do see, the faucet, is a treasure to look at. Designed in the European style using brushed nickel, it is a faucet that looks beautiful and doesn't show any ugly smudge marks like you get with polished chrome.
In terms of actual water processing, the RCC7AK performs about average. It does have a pretty high capacity of being able to produce 75 gallons of pure water per day, but as reverse osmosis filtration systems go, that capacity is not that far about the average.
Potential Issues
There is one potential complaint that several people have had with this system though. Apparently, the automatic shut off valve has a habit of occasionally breaking for some people. However, with a one year warranty, if it does break shortly after your purchase, you can at least get it replaced by the manufacturer.
If you are looking for an affordable reverse osmosis system that also creates alkaline water and adds back in essential minerals, then there are much worse choices than the iSpring RCC7AK. It performs admirably and rather quickly for a system that also does alkaline water, which takes it from being a completely average reverse osmosis filtration system and making it an above average one.

Maurya, A K (2014) In-silico inhibition of galectin-1 during HIV-1 pathogensis: a pharmacophore based virtual screening, molecular docking & qsar studies. MTech thesis.
Galectin-1 helps in HIV-1 pathogenesis by interaction between viral capsid protein gp120 and CD4 protein of susceptible helper T cell. Therefore, strategy to identify inhibitor for Galectin-1 will be of much importance in medical research. Here, structure based pharmacophore modelling, pharmacophore based screening, molecular docking, protein–ligand interaction fingerprints, binding energy calculations, and Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) predictions were employed in a virtual screening strategy to identify novel inhibitors. A structure-based pharmacophore model was hypothesized that contained 6 pharmacophoric features as observed in crystal structure of galectin-1 and its inhibitor thiodigalactoside. The pharmacophore model was used to screen NCI, open database compounds release4 with 2, 46,374 active molecules. A total of 2233 hits were obtained from NCI database. The hits retrieved were further screened by molecular docking, protein–ligand interaction fingerprints, binding energy calculations. After that we predicted IC50 values of screened molecules. Based on these results, 6 molecules were predicted as potential inhibitors of galectin-1.
